WHEREAS, the application of the Land Development Code as currently written does not adequately buffer adjacent development; and

SECTION I:                     The Planning Commission shall undertake a review of the current Land Development Code and adopt amendments thereto to increase the requirements to preserve tree canopy, specifically any existing perimeter tree masses to a depth not to exceed 30 feet where proposed commercial and residential development are adjacent to existing residential development.

SECTION II:                      This Resolution shall take effect upon its passage and approval.
