I have a zero lot line project, so all landscaped areas are within planters on the plaza level, or in tree wells in the sidewalk. If we just measure the footprint of the planters/wells, we are below the 5% criteria. However if we measure the footprint of the trees, we are over 5%. Does anyone know of any clarification on this, we've browsed through the interpretations and addenda, and haven't seen anything.

Marie, when you say "footprint" of the trees, do you mean the plan view that includes their canopy?I think that the measurement of the actual footprint of the planters is what meets the intent, since we are talking about irrigated area, not shaded area or some other measure.
