Landscaping of Parking Areas It is the intent of this Section to encourage the design and construction of parking areas in a manner whereby areas within the parking lot are landscaped as well as areas considered unusable for parking or maneuvering space. It is also the intent of this Section to aid in the abatement of noise, glare, and heat associated with large expanses of hard paved surfaces and motor vehicles. Parking areas shall be landscaped in accordance with the following regulations: 1. Landscaping within the parking and maneuvering areas may apply to the overall landscape requirement for the lot. 2. When the parking and maneuvering area exceeds one acre, not less than five percent of the interior parking and maneuvering area shall be maintained as landscaped area. The interior parking and maneuvering area is determined by drawing a straight line along the outermost edge of pavement on each side of the parking and maneuvering area. The line shall not follow the landscaped bump-outs or islands but shall continue to project in a straight line around the perimeter of the parking area. Landscaping on the perimeter of the parking and maneuvering area shall not be included in calculating the required five percent landscaped area. ard. No. 2340 Page 7 3. All landscaping within the parking lot shall be located within a landscape island or module. The island or module shall be delineated from the surrounding paved area by a curb or barrier of not less than six inches in height around the perimeter of the island or module.

Landscaping material in parking lots shall include shrubs and trees or a combination thereof, which in turn may be planted with a combination of grass, ground cover, and/or flowering plants. 7. For any larger existing trees located in the parking area, which are being retained and incorporated into the Landscape Plan, an appropriate aeration system or an alternative method of protecting the trees must be provided and detailed in the Landscape Plan. At least three-fourths of the tree dripline area must be in a permeable area. L. Conflict with Traffic - Landscape plantings shall not be erected or installed in such a manner as to interfere with traffic view or impose a safety hazard. All landscape plantings shall comply with any applicable Visibility Sight Triangles as provided for in these regulations. 2. Buffer Yard Regulations A. Purpose It is the purpose of this Section to provide buffering elements for visual buffering between zoning districts of different character in order to mitigate the effects of potential nuisances such as dirt, litter, noise, heat, and glare of lights; and to provide spacing between different zoning districts that may be considered incompatible. 8. Buffer Yard Between Zoning Districts Required For any non-residential construction which abuts a single-family or two-family residential zoning district or agricultural zoning district, there shall be a buffer yard of live plant material for the entire width and distance along which the development abuts the residential ard. No. 2340 Page 8 district. The buffer yard shall be of a width as required in Table 5. This green belt is included in the overall calculation of the percentage of required landscaping.
