Oaks Regional Park. The proposed setback and buffer treatment will be of sufficient
depth and width to achieve visual blockage of human activity above the park habitat
areas; (security fencing, rows or evergreen trees or tall shrubs located along the
development perimeter and naturalized slope plantings). Tentative Tract Map 14359
