(b) The Project will consist of a campus-like office park. It will include ample landscaping and open space. A series of informal open spaces of different characters and size will be linked by tree-lined pathways. Common area walkways link the larger open spaces to each other, and also link the campus to surrounding amenities. The walkways will be lined with alleys of trees to make a pleasant, shaded pedestrian environment. (c) Visual impacts on adjacent properties, especially adjacent residential uses, will be minimized.
