Planners to Consider Landscapers’ Request
A local landscape service is seeking city permission to use a single-family house as its office, even though the business has already operated from the house for years.
The Simi Valley Planning Commission tonight will consider a request from L&W; Landscape Services to use its building on the corner of Tapo Street and Adam Road for its business offices and storage space.
The landscapers have used the house for their business since 1993, according to city planners.
L&W; also wants permission to install new landscaping, wrought-iron fences, masonry walls and a larger front porch. And the company is seeking approval for future expansion of a smaller building on the property, to be used for additional offices and storage.
City planners have recommended that the commission approve most of the proposal.
But planners want the city to insist that L&W; be required to build a masonry wall along the property’s eastern edge to separate the business from nearby houses.
