A. Landscaping is required for all recreation courts greater than one thousand (1,000) square feet to screen any fencing, equipment or athletic apparatus from adjacent properties and all public rights-of-way. Such landscaping shall achieve its screening effect within three (3) years after planting. Landscaping plans shall be submitted to the Development Services Director for review and approval prior to the issuance of an administrative use permit.
B. Recreation courts may be sunken below grade, such as for visual screening or noise attenuation purposes, provided any on-site drainage requirements applicable to the property, and cross-lot drainage for adjacent properties, are satisfied.
C. Any recreation court with an impervious surface of greater than one thousand (1,000) square feet or more requires a French drain or similar percolation system to be constructed in conjunction with such court in order to provide for on-site drainage of run-off into the aquifer, and shall be reviewed and approved by the City prior to construction. The drainage plan for this system shall be submitted before the issuance of an administrative use permit. Said system shall be maintained so as to be functional. (Ord. 2881 §13, 2019)
