(A) Vehicular use areas, parking areas, service areas, parking lots and their parked vehicles shall be required one point of landscape buffering (refer to § 150.683) for each linear foot of required landscaping along the property line. If non-residential vehicular use areas, parking area, service area, or parking lot are adjacent to residential property, compatibility and buffering standards shall apply. These standards are separate and apart from the landscaping regulations and found in § 150.105.
(B) A minimum total area of 120 square feet of landscaped islands, peninsulas and medians is required for each 12 parking spaces anywhere on the site, including the street yard. Concrete curbs shall not be counted in the required landscape areas.
(C) The number, size, and shape of islands, peninsulas, and medians in both street yards and non-street yards shall be at the discretion of the owner; however, no parking space shall be located further than 50 feet from a permeable landscaped island, peninsula, or median. This distance should be measured from the back of curb of the landscaped island, median or peninsula and should encompass the entire parking space. All islands, peninsulas and medians required in the areas stated above shall be more or less evenly distributed throughout such parking areas, respectively; however, the distribution and location of landscaped islands, peninsulas, and medians may be adjusted to accommodate existing trees or other natural features so long as the total area requirement for landscaped islands, peninsulas, and medians for the respective parking areas above is satisfied.
(D) Only landscaped islands, peninsulas, and medians in the street yard shall count toward fulfilling the requirements of § 150.674(A) above, as applicable.
(E) Each parking aisle shall be terminated with an end island whose minimum dimension is 15 feet wide from the inside of the curb.
(F) Each parking island is required to have at least one tree.
(G) Special provisions for large parking lots.
(1) The above division (C) does not apply if this division (G) is required. For parking lots with more than three parking modules, a 15 foot minimum width median (measured from back of curb) will be required for every third parking module. Trees within the median must be located so that one tree shall be located within 25 feet of each parking space adjacent to the median. This distance should be measured as the distance from the center of the tree to the edge of each parking space. No additional islands shall be required to satisfy § 150.674 except for end islands for each parking module.
(2) A pedestrian walkway shall be provided within the boundaries of each fifteen foot wide (minimum) median. The walkway shall provide pedestrian access connecting the parking lot and the commercial establishment's entry(ies). The walkway shall meet all accessibility requirements.
