North Bench is an area of large, estate-type residential use. This is compatible with the transitional landscape theme for the area. The transitional concept attempts to create a zone between the naturally landscaped mountains north and east of the City and the more domesticated landscapes of the Central Core and Dunlap Acres. Design elements in the North Bench area should include flowering deciduous trees and vertical coniferous evergreens, as well as rustic fencing and hardscape, but with a distinctly untamed, naturalistic appearance.
