In any case where the building and/or parking area is being increased by at least 25% over the originally approved site plan or the use is being changed to a more intense use, as determined by the City Commission, the site shall be brought into full compliance with the landscape standards herein. In situations where the increase in building and/or parking area is less than 25% over the original site plan, the requirement of new landscaping shall be equal to 4% of compliance for every 1% of increase in building or parking footprint. (example: a building or parking area increase of 10% requires a 40% compliance with the landscape standards. If any development or principal use requiring a certificate of occupancy is destroyed by any means beyond 50% of the appraised replacement value, the site shall be brought into full compliance with the landscape standards herein.
