trees located in the parking lot, 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.

glare of lights; and to provide spacing between different uses that may be
considered incompatible.
B. Buffer Yard Between Zoning Districts Required For any non-residential or multi-
family construction which abuts a single-family or two-family residential zoning
district or agricultural zoning district, there shall be a fifteen (15) foot buffer yard
of live plant material for the entire width and distance along which the
development abuts the residential district. This green belt is included in the
overall calculation of the percentage of required landscaping.

three horizontal) slope. The entire length of the berm shall be
vegetated with live plant material.
3. Landscaping Credits
A. Purpose Credits for trees and shrubs are intended to encourage the
enhancement of the lot through additional landscaping elements and to provide
relief to parcels that are configured in such a way as to make the 15% landscape
area requirement less burdensome.
Ordinance No. 2423
Page 7 of 19
B. General Criteria As an alternative to the required fifteen (15) percent total
landscaped area, landscape credits may be utilized to reduce the total amount of
land area dedicated for landscaping purposes. However, in no instance shall the
credits reduce the total amount of landscaping on a lot to less than ten (10)
percent of the total land area. Credits are allowed for existing or newly planted
trees and shrubs, and only if the feature is maintained as a permanent element
of the Landscape Plan.
All landscaped areas, including trees, shrubs, vines, grasses and groundcover
that received landscaping credits, shall be properly maintained. If any plant
material dies, such material shall be subject to replacement as specified in
Exhibit "A". Credits are allowed as follows:
1. Credit for Trees: Credit shall be allowed according to Table 1. Any plant
type or species may be used in the landscaping plan. However,
landscaping credit shall be allowed only for those trees contained in
Exhibits.
