the design guidelines,objectives and considerations noted within subsection A of this
section:

Parking should be located to the side and rear of buildings and shall be screened so that it
does not dominate the streetscape.Fences,hedges,berms,and landscaping may be used to
screen parking areas(chainlink fencing shall not be permitted).In the design of large parking
Page 7 of 19
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr\2023\Parkinson Multi-tenant Flex Space Bldg DR-66-23\Parkinson Multi-tenant Flex Space Bldg Findings DR.docx
areas,arrange bays of parking spaces to be separated by landscaping.When parking lots
occur on sloping terrain,step the parking lots to follow the terrain rather than allowing the lot
surface to extend above natural grade.
2. Parking Lot Landscape Strip:A landscape strip shall be provided when a parking lot is
located adjacent to a public right of way.The landscaped strip shall serve to shield views of
parked cars to passing motorists and pedestrians,and to establish coordination among
architecturally diverse buildings,which creates a pleasing,harmonious appearance along the
roadway.
Four(4)options are provided for fulfilling this requirement:
a. Provide a ten foot(10')wide landscaped strip between the right of way and the parking
lot,and plant with a minimum of one shade tree and ten(10)shrubs per thirty five(35)
linear feet of frontage,excluding driveway openings.
b. Provide an earth berm of thirty inches(30")minimum height(do not exceed 3:1 slope)
within a ten foot(10')wide landscaped strip between the right of way and the parking lot,

(5)shrubs per thirty five(35)linear feet of frontage,excluding driveway openings.
d. Provide a three foot(3')high fence of wood,brick,stone,or decorative block or concrete
along with a four foot(4')wide landscaped strip between the right of way and the parking
lot,and plant a minimum of one shade tree and five(5)shrubs per thirty five(35)linear
feet of frontage,excluding driveway openings.
(1) The board may waive the requirement for a wood,brick,stone,decorative block or
concrete fence if the board finds the following:
(A) The applicant must design,document,and obtain city approval representing that
the overall planting design,at the time of planting,results in an effective
barrier such that the landscape strip shields the view of parked cars from
passing pedestrians and motorists; and
(B) Any such proposed design alternative is compatible with the overall site design
of the entire project and is compatible with the surrounding area.
3. Parking Lot Perimeter Landscaping: Perimeter landscaping requirements define parking areas
and prevent two(2)adjacent lots from becoming one large expanse of paving.This
requirement does not hinder the ability to provide vehicular access between lots.
a. Provide a minimum five foot(5')wide perimeter landscaped strip between the property
lines and the parking lot,and plant with a minimum of one shade tree and five(5)shrubs
per thirty five(35)linear feet of perimeter.

grass.

planter strip planted with shade class(class II)trees shall be required between the sidewalk
and street to provide a canopy effect over streets.

the approved tree list in subsection Q of this section,shall be planted per thirty five(35)linear
feet of street frontage.
3. Within residential developments one shade class(class II)tree selected from the approved tree
list in subsection Q of this section shall be located on both sides of all streets within the eight
foot(8')wide landscape strip between the sidewalk and the curb. Trees shall be planted at the
