Landscaping is required on each lot based on the use of that lot as defined in the Site Interior Planting Requirements table. (See below).
a. Mixed Use Properties. Where a lot is occupied by a combination of the land uses listed in the Site Interior Plantings Requirements table, only the plantings consistent with the requirements for the land use that would result in the most landscaping is required.
b. Tree Locations. All required trees may be located in clusters or dispersed throughout the yard.
c. Yard Calculations. Detention and retention ponds are computed at fifty percent (50%) of their actual size for determining the yard area that either comprises. Other areas required to be landscaped by this ordinance and required buffer yards are not included in the calculation of yard area.
