C. The landscaping complements the architectural design, with an appropriate balance of trees, shrubs, and living ground covers, and provides adequate screening and shading of parking lots and/or driveways. D. Detail features, such as signs, fences, and lighting for buildings, parking lots, and/or driveways are visually consistent with the architectural and landscape design and minimize off-site glare. E. Exceptions to Above Regarding Expansions and/or Alterations to Existing Nonconforming Structures and Sites. The decision maker or the decision making body may vary from the standards outlined in Subsections A through E above and approve a Site Plan that cannot achieve compliance with these standards due to the limitations created by pre-existing nonconforming structures and site features. In such cases, the priority of Site Plan review is to reduce, to the degree feasible given the scale and scope of the proposal, the nonconforming features. The nonconforming features to be addressed shall include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Deficiencies in landscaping shall be corrected, with selective additional plantings, primarily where such landscaping can have the greatest visual benefit to the overall area. The scale and scope of such landscaping requirements will be relative to both the degree of non-compliance with current Code requirements and the changes/improvements being proposed by the applicant. 2. Obsolete and unused equipment, such as roof -mounted utilities, exterior manufacturing equipment, and unused pole sign and wall sign cabinets shall be removed, as required. 3. The effects of past "deferred maintenance," where such has been identified, shall be corrected by such effort as repainting, replanting of existing landscape areas, and removal of unused equipment, vehicles, and debris. F. All site plan elements in the SA -1, SA -2, and SA -3 Districts shall be reviewed for general consistency with the Design Guidelines contained in the East 14th Street South Area Development Strategy. G. All site plan elements in the DA -1, DA -2, DA -3, DA -4, DA 5 and DA -6 Districts shall be reviewed for general consistency with the Design Guidelines contained in the Downtown San Leandro Transit -Oriented Development Strategy.
