      4.   Open Space: The intent of open space is to allow for a balance between natural areas and the built environment and to provide for the overall beautification and "greening" of the city.
         a.   Open space shall be considered all areas unencumbered by buildings or paved areas associated with parking, drive aisles, and loading docks or zones. Plaza areas, water features and structures such as gazebos, arbors, pergolas, etc., that are associated with outdoor pedestrian use areas, as well as designated and enhanced pedestrian walkways through and between parcels may be counted toward fulfilling the minimum open space requirement. Recreational fields not under roof may be counted toward fulfilling the minimum open space requirement.
         b.   A minimum of twenty-five percent (25%) open space shall be provided within each lot within a PUD parcel.
         c.   Vegetation at a rate of two (2) trees and three (3) shrubs per three thousand (3,000) square feet of required open space shall be provided within each lot.
      5.   Buffers and Visual Screening:
         a.   Buffer:
            (1)   A minimum thirty foot (30') wide buffer shall be provided along Grand Avenue and Raccoon River Drive.
               (A)   Earthen berming shall be incorporated to a minimum height of three feet (3'). Said berming shall be undulating to provide a natural appearance and shall be layered to ensure the minimum height required is provided along the full length of the buffer, except as necessary to accommodate access drives and vision triangles at intersections.
               (B)   Minimum amount of and type of landscape vegetation consistent with city code title 9, chapter 19 shall be provided. Vegetation required of this buffer shall be allowed to be counted towards vegetation necessary to achieve parking lot and negative site element screening as discussed elsewhere here within; however, additional vegetation above that required for the buffer may be necessary to satisfactorily achieve visual screening of off-street parking and negative site elements.
         b.   Visual Screening of Negative Site Elements:
            (1)   Trash receptacles and dumpsters shall be screened by the use of a permanent enclosure. Enclosures shall be constructed consistent with city code title 9, chapter 10. The enclosure should be landscaped to minimize the visual presence and impact of the structure on surrounding properties, businesses, and internal and external roadways.
            (2)   All heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) units, utility meters, or similar electrical or mechanical equipment shall be adequately screened from ground level views from Grand Avenue and Raccoon River Drive, internal PUD drive aisles and adjacent properties within or outside of the development. Said screening shall be achieved through the use of architectural enclosures, fencing and/or earthen berming in combination with landscaping consisting of predominately evergreen material for year-round screening.
            (3)   All rooftop mechanical units shall be screened from ground level views from Grand Avenue and Raccoon River Drive, I-35, internal PUD drive aisles and adjacent properties within or outside of the development. Said screening shall be achieved through the use of architecturally incorporated opaque screen walls, raised parapet walls, penthouse features, or other opaque measure comprised of materials consistent with the associated primary structure.
         c.   Buildings shall not be located or designed to expose loading docks, overhead doors or the rear of buildings (excluding golf facility hitting bays) to public streets unless appropriately screened from view.
         d.   Ground level views from Grand Avenue and Raccoon River Drive, I-35, internal PUD drive aisles and adjacent properties within or outside of the development of off-street parking areas and service and loading areas shall be adequately screened. Said screening shall be achieved through the use of free-standing decorative walls or earthen berming to a minimum height of three feet (3') in combination with landscaping consisting of predominately evergreen material for year-round screening.
      6.   Signage: The regulations and provisions for signs as set forth in Title 9 of the City Code for the Regional Commercial (RC) zoning district shall be met unless otherwise noted in this ordinance.
         a.   Wall signage for the building on Parcel A shall be calculated at a rate of one (1) square foot per lineal foot of the longest side of the primary structure. Placement on the building and size of individual letters and logos shall comply with city code. Wall signage for all other parcels shall be calculated consistent with city code.
         b.   No advertisement of any kind may be located on the poles or netting associated with the golf facility.
         c.   Illumination of wall signs which orient towards a residential dwelling(s) within the Glen Oaks development shall be limited to reverse channel lit letters or halo-lighting. All other signs may be internally illuminated as provided for within the city's sign code. (Ord. 2516, 5-6-2022)
