A front landscaped area shall be required for all two-family, multi-family and nonresidential uses. The required landscaped area shall be contiguous to the front lot line of the property and have an average width of at least ten feet. The area shall be covered with grass or other ground cover and shall include appropriate trees and shrubs. At a minimum, one canopy tree and two medium trees (see § 156.092) and ten shrubs shall be planted within the front landscaped area for each 100 feet or remaining fraction thereof of lot frontage. The intent of this provision is to enhance appearance, but avoid negation of access or screening the use from view.
