4. PARKING AREA LANDSCAPING. Landscaping for Parking Areas is considered Landscaped Open Space. 
   
   1. SIZE OF PARKING AREA. For purposes of this Section, a Parking Area is defined as five spaces or more. Underground parking or Parking Structures are excluded from the provisions of this Section except Screening.
      
   2. CALCULATION OF PARKING AREA. The Parking Area includes all spaces, aisles, and drives, as defined by the top-back of curb or edge of pavement. 
      
   3. INTERIOR LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS IN THE GENERAL COMMERCIAL (GC), REGIONAL COMMERCIAL OVERLAY (RCO), COMMUNITY TRANSITION (CT), AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL (LI) ZONING DISTRICTS. Each Parking Area in the GC, RCO, CT, and LI Districts must have an Interior Landscaped Area equivalent to twenty percent (20%) of the total Parking Area, including drive aisles. Parking Areas with fewer than fifty (50) spaces must have an Interior Landscaped Area equivalent to ten percent (10%) of the Parking Area. Ten feet (10') of required Perimeter Landscaping may count towards the Interior Landscaped Area.
      
      In the design of large Parking Areas, bays or stalls shall generally be separated approximately every twelve to fifteen (12-15) stalls, by landscaping islands to break up the mass of Hard-Surfaced paving. The Parking Area must be designed to provide adequate snow storage in winter and should utilize best management practices, such as bio swales, oil and sand separators, and other methods to prevent surface and ground water contamination. See Section 15-3-3(E).
      
      Landscaped Areas shall generally not be less than five feet (5') wide. A reduction in the landscape Area width may be granted by the Planning Director if the Applicant provides acceptable mitigation to vegetate and buffer the unenclosed Parking Area. Building foundation landscaping does not count towards Interior Landscaping Area.
      
      NON-CONFORMANCE. All landscaping previously lawfully installed, that does not meet these requirements is considered non-conforming landscaping. The Applicant must bring such landscaping into compliance with this Code with any change in Use that increases the Parking Ratio requirements for the Site.
      
   4. INTERIOR LANDSCAPING IN OTHER ZONES. Parking should generally be located to the rear of Buildings or Screened so it does not dominate the Streetscape. In the design of large Parking Areas, bays or stalls shall generally be separated by approximately every ten to twelve (10-12) stalls landscaping islands to break up the mass of Hard-Surface paving. The Parking Area must be designed to provide adequate snow storage in winter. 
      
      Landscaped Areas shall generally not be less than five feet (5') wide. A reduction in the landscape Area width may be granted by the Planning Director if the Applicant provides acceptable mitigation to vegetate and buffer the unenclosed Parking Area.
      
   5. PERIMETER LANDSCAPING. Unless a driveway exception is used, unenclosed Parking Areas shall generally include landscaping on all perimeter Property Lines. This provision shall not be required in zoning districts that allow zero Lot Line Development, or within the Historic District Zones, unless required as part of an approved Master Planned Development.
      
      Landscaped Areas shall generally not be less than five feet (5') wide. A reduction in the Landscape Area width may be granted by the Planning Director if the Applicant provides acceptable mitigation to vegetate and buffer the unenclosed Parking Area.
      
      The Applicant shall generally maintain a minimum of one (1) tree and five (5) shrubs per twenty-five linear feet (25') of Landscaped Area. Trees and shrubs may be clustered as part of good design.
      
      The Frontage Protection Overlay Zone (FPZ) requires a minimum landscaped buffer of thirty feet (30') in width, abutting the Street.
      
   6. SNOW STORAGE. Snow storage Areas may be included in the Interior or Perimeter Landscaped Areas if they are landscaped to accommodate snow storage.
      
   7. STORM WATER DETENTION/POLLUTION CONTROL. Landscaped Areas used for storm water detention and pollution control may count towards the landscaping requirements.
      
   8. CLEAR VIEW OF INTERSECTION. 
      
      1. Corner Lots. No landscape obstruction is allowed in excess of two feet (2') in height above Street Grade within the Sight Distance Triangle.  A reasonable number of trees with lower branches pruned to six feet (6') to permit automobile drivers and pedestrians an unobstructed view of the intersection may be allowed by Administrative Permit.
         
      2. Driveway Access. The same criteria as used on corner Lots apply to driveway Access except that the triangular Area is defined by the intersection of the road Right-of-Way, the line extending from the point-of-curve at the top-back-of-curb, and a line connecting them at points twenty-five feet (25') from their intersection.
         
5. SNOW STORAGE. Where parking availability will be affected by weather conditions, the Owner must provide adequate non-Hard Surfaced and landscaped snow storage Areas. Said snow storage Areas must be on-Site and equivalent to fifteen percent (15%) of the total Hard-Surfaced Area; including, Parking Spaces, aisles, driveways, curbing, gutters, and sidewalks adjacent to each surface Lot in a usable, readily accessible location. Landscaping of these Areas shall accommodate snow removal and storage on-Site. 
   
6. PARKING SPACE DIMENSIONS. 
   
   1. Parking Spaces must be at least nine feet (9') wide by eighteen feet (18') long. The City Engineer may approve minor variations in Parking Space dimensions. 
      
   2. ADA Parking Space width requirements vary and shall be consistent with current International Building Code standards.
      
   3. Compact spaces with dimensions of nine feet (9') wide by sixteen feet (16') long may be provided. These spaces are not Code spaces for the purpose of satisfying parking requirements.
      
7. STREET ACCESS AND CIRCULATION. Off-Street Parking Areas must have unobstructed Access to a Street or alley. The Parking Area design for five (5) or more vehicles must not necessitate backing cars onto adjoining public sidewalks, parking strips, or roadways. With the exception of permitted Tandem Parking, Parking Spaces shall be independently accessible and unobstructed. 
   
   Applicants for all Drive-up or Drive-through service windows or facilities must provide sufficient stacking space for vehicles waiting for service, to prevent vehicles from waiting in the Right-of-Way.
