§ 10-4.341. Intent of landscaping development standards.
Latest version.
It is the intent of this subdivision to require the preservation of the forested nature
of our community through the preservation of high quality successional, native and
urban forest communities for landscaping purposes in preference to clearing and replanting
designed landscaping. It is the objective of this subdivision to provide incentives
toward preserving more than the minimum of a development site's natural and native
vegetation by allowing reductions in the amount of land to be set aside for landscaping
whenever natural vegetation is preserved and, further, to comply with objectives stated
in section 10-4.104 through:
(1)
A holistic approach to landscaping development and site design by integrating elements
of existing vegetation, especially urban forest areas, existing topography, and additional
plantings with proposed improvements including stormwater management systems.
(2)
The preservation and use of forested areas to maintain roadway buffers, assist in
stormwater management, visually separate and shade parking areas, provide wildlife
habitat, and generally reduce the impact of urbanization.
