Any project located within a C-2 District and meeting the applicability requirements of this subchapter shall provide landscaping along the perimeter of the front yard area when abutting any public right-of-way and public or private street. A minimum of 10% of the front yard area shall be landscaped with a combination of trees, shrubs, planting beds or perennials. Street frontage landscaped areas shall contain a minimum of one tree and 12 shrubs for every 100 square feet of required building foundation landscape area. The minimum width of any street frontage landscape area shall be six feet and shall be located adjacent to the edge of the public right-of-way or other suitable location as determined by the Planning Commission. For example, if the required building foundation planting area is 425 square feet, then four trees and 48 bushes would be required. Required building foundation planting areas shall not be counted toward the street frontage planting area requirements.
