(a) On developed sites (excluding one-family residential dwelling units, when developed on a parcel-by-parcel basis), landscaping must be brought into compliance with the Zoning Code. Existing parking lots are exempt from the interior parking lot landscaping requirements, unless they are being removed or replaced. This applies to:
(1) New construction (or the modification of an existing building where the total building square footage is increased by twenty-five percent or greater).
(2) The total amount of impervious surface on the site is increased by fifty percent or greater.
(3) A special land use is required.
(b) No landscaped area may be abandoned, paved, or otherwise employed without submission and approval of a site plan.
(c) These requirements are minimum requirements, and nothing precludes a developer from proposing a more extensive landscape plan.
