Commercial Site Design Requirements--Landscaping and Site Improvements Principles Sample Clauses

Commercial Site Design Requirements--Landscaping and Site Improvements Principles. In commercial districts, a more active streetscape creates a more dynamic public realm. Urban landscaping provides identity, enhances and defines site and building elements, as well as provides relief and respite from the density of building and the intensity of uses in these districts. For example, hardscape design such as street furniture, sidewalk art, special paving patterns, planters, custom designed banners, landscape areas integrated with small plazas and pocket parks, enhance the identity of the district and the intensity of the pedestrian experience of it. Good design will often include the history, social and urban context of the district. Commercial streetscape elements such as planters and benches may be owned and/or cared for by their adjacent properties. 1. All landscaping must meet the intent of Section 295-405 of the Zoning Code. The Authority on a case- by-case basis will consider exceptions that enhance the identity of the commercial district. 2. Minimize negative impacts of land uses on adjacent properties and uses with landscape screening and buffers. 3. Locate site elements to define street edges and corners. Locate site elements to extend the “street wall” of building facades where there are gaps in continuity. 4. Coordinate landscaping and site improvements with building features. 5. Encourage the use of landscape elements to establish a unique identity for the commercial district. 6. Encourage “ownership” of specific streetscape elements by their adjacent owners. 7. In parking areas, provide a minimum ratio of one tree for every ten parking spaces (1:10 ratio), distributed as evenly as possible throughout the parking area. Use existing natural features where they exist, e.g. view corridors, grade changes. Use the circulation flow of the parking lot to create landscape islands. 8. Use ornamental iron or architectural fencing and masonry piers or walls, in combination with clustered plant materials (trees, shrubs and ground cover) to improve the street edge of parking areas. Coordinate the materials of fences and walls with the architecture (design, color, material, style) of adjacent buildings. 9. Enclose and screen dumpsters and recycling units. 10. Screen loading docks and shipping/receiving areas from sidewalks and streets.
