ALL TYPES: Provide a coordinated group of furnishings to match the overall character of the development and site features, (e.g. bike racks, signs, garbage enclosures, benches, waste receptacles and tree grates). 41. ALL TYPES: Site landscaping design should consider the context of surrounding proper- ties where there is a dominant pattern along the street (e.g.

provide tree rows and land- scaping consistent with the established or emerging standards along the street or with- in an adjacent neighbourhood). 42. ALL TYPES: Use landscaping and landscape materials to conform to the most current version of the British Columbia Society of Landscape Architects/British Columbia Landscaping and Nursery Association’s British Columbia Landscape Standards (as amended). 43.
