This section is included in your selections.

(1) Landscaping areas shall be provided within parking lots to visually reduce the scale of parking areas and to differentiate parking and pedestrian areas.

(a) Every sixth parking stall within each parking row shall be landscaped. Grass will not be considered acceptable ground cover for such landscape areas. The configuration of landscape spaces may be modified by the community development director when needed to improve traffic and pedestrian circulation or landscape configuration. This required landscaping may count toward the total amount of parking lot landscaping required in SMC 17.145.110. If the total amount of landscaping required in SMC 17.145.110 is less than is required in this section, the standard established herein shall still be applied. Landscaping required in this section may not be relocated to the perimeter of the paved area as allowed in SMC 17.145.110(4). (Ord. 1335 § 2, 2013).
