153.05 Principles Of Landscaping Design
Plan preparation . It is recommended that the services of a registered landscape architect or landscape contractor be employed in preparing the landscape plan. In addition to plants, the use of structural elements, such as pools, fountains, decks, raised planters, benches and sunshades, is encouraged in the landscape plan.
Plant materials . The selection of plant materials should include both evergreens and deciduous trees, shrubs and attractive erosion preventing ground cover. Attention should be given to the appearance, height, spread, growth rate, potential root damage, disease and pest susceptibility, soil drainage, climatic adaptability and the degree of maintenance required. Attention or preference should also be given to the existing trees and natural foliage to incorporate them into the landscape.
Plant coverage . Plants should be so spaced and sized that, when mature, they will fill the planter area and provide balance in the intended landscaped area. Although a reasonable length of time will be allowed for full plant coverage to develop, interim ground cover should be provided during this period. A substitute cover of surfacing material shall consist of rocks, gravel, ornamental mulch material, chips or any other acceptable materials.
(1973 Code, § 9-6.05) (Ord. 672, eff. 12-10-1975)

Not less than 3% of the gross area of the parking lots shall be devoted to the interior planting areas. Landscaping provided in conjunction with the development of a building shall not be considered as part of the 3%.
The planting areas shall be distributed as evenly as possible throughout the parking area. All unused space resulting from the design of the parking spaces shall be used for planting purposes.
A minimum of 1 tree (minimum 15-gallon size) shall be in each planter area which shall contain 20 square feet. Shrubs and ground cover shall be used in all planter areas.
General requirements .
At least 50% of the plants and shrubs shall be living evergreen vines, shrubs, ground cover or a combination thereof. The remaining 50% would be deciduous varieties of shrubs and trees. Trees shall be living, a minimum of 50% of which shall be evergreen type. The following minimum sizes shall be: trees, 15-gallon; and shrubs, 5-gallon.
Planting areas shall be separated from vehicular areas and street rights-of-way by a concrete curb at least 6 inches high.
