Home My WebLink About03-L2-LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENT & CALCULATIONSPrescriptive Landscape Design Pathway (percentage-based approach)Design criteria specific to this pathway includes:1)Plant material must comply with the following:a)Turfgrass areas must not exceed 20 percent of the total landscaped area.b)All remaining landscaped areas must consist solely of low and/or very low water use vegetation (plant factor of0.3 or less), and landscape design elements such as rock mulch and wood mulch, except for raised beds dedicated toedible gardens. Refer to the plant list in Appendix C.2)Landscape Design Plan compliance with requirements outlined in 3.2.2 of this Manual.Landscaped Area Coverage Requirements1)Landscaped area is defined in Appendix A. At least 60 percent of the site area not included in footprints ofbuildings or structures, sidewalks, driveways, walkways, or other hardscaped areas, such as decks or pervious pavers,must be landscaped and maintained with some combination of vegetative understory plantings, such as shrubs,perennials, turfgrass, creeping or rooting groundcovers, or other living plants (excluding weeds). Rock mulch or woodmulch must be installed in all landscaped areas not covered with plant material. The installation of at least 50 percentnative plants in the overall landscape is encouraged. Certain areas listed under Section 1.3 are exempt from beingincluded in the site area coverage requirement listed above.a)A minimum of 10 percent of the landscaped area must be vegetated with container grown shrubs or perennials.This requirement does not apply to City right-of-way boulevard strips and medians.b)Evergreen trees count towards the landscape plant coverage requirement. Deciduous trees do not count towardsthis requirement.i)8 feet of canopy spread (or 50 square feet) shall be used for evergreen trees when calculating plant size for thecoverage requirement.c)The average mature plant size shall be used when calculating coverage amounts.d)Artificial plant materials do not count towards the landscape plant coverage requirement (BMC 38.550.050.F.4.).Parking Lot RequirementsParking lot landscaping is part of the landscaped area and must meet requirements in this Manual and 38.550.50.Bexcept for tree requirements as provided below.Tree Requirements Outside of Parking Lots and Boulevards1)Tree diversity requirements must be met according to the table below.Deciduous and Evergreen Tree Plant Diversity TableNumber of Trees Maximum % of Single Species1-5 Can have 100% of one species6-10 Maximum 50% of any one species11-20 Maximum 33% of any one species21+ Maximum 25% of any one species2)A minimum of 75 percent of proposed trees must be drought adapted or have a plant factor of 0.3 or less.3)Rock mulch is discouraged around private trees and prohibited around public, boulevard trees. Public, boulevardtrees must have a 3’ diameter wood mulch ring 3”-4” in depth.4)Trees must be planted at a minimum rate of 1 per 1600 square feet of landscaped area.a)Trees used for residential adjacency requirements outlined in BMC 38.550.050.K may also count towards thisrequirement.5)A minimum of fifty percent of trees must be canopy trees. The review authority may adjust this requirement ifutility conflicts exist.6)Transplanted trees exceeding the sizes outlined in BMC 38.550.050.F. may be allowed at the discretion of thereview authority.7)Exemptions:a)All areas within 10 feet of the building(s) on site are exempt from the square footage used to calculate the numberof required trees.b)Landscaped areas under 6 feet wide are exempt from the square footage used to calculate the number ofrequired trees. This does not apply to boulevard tree requirements.c)Deciduous and evergreen trees deemed healthy and preserved on site shall apply towards the tree plantingrequirement at the discretion of the review authority.d)Tree requirements for street frontage shall adhere to the requirements listed in BMC 38.550.050.D. These areasare exempt from the square footage used to calculate the number of required trees.Soil Preparation and Amendment RequirementsSee to the right on this sheet.Soil Testing RequirementsThe following requirements apply when performing a soil test:1)A soil analysis must be conducted by an independent, state-operated, or university- operated soil laboratory withthe capability and experience to conduct the required testing.2)The soil sample(s) must represent a uniform area. Differences in texture (sand, silt, or clay), color, slope, degreeof erosion, drainage, past management practices, and types of plant material designed for each area should beconsidered when collecting the sample. The recommended sampling frequency is no less than one sample per 5,000square feet of landscaped area.3)The soil analysis must test the following:a)Soil Textureb)Percentage of Organic Matterc)Soil Reaction (acidity/alkalinity pH value)d)Soluble-Salt Contente)Nutrients: including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, iron, copper, manganese, and lime.4)The soil test must be dated no more than 60 days prior to conducting the pre-installation meeting and must beprovided to the review authority at the pre-installation meeting.LANDSCAPE CALCULATIONSTHE CALCS BELOW ARE FOR ON-SITE LANDSCAPING ONLYAND DO NOT INCLUDE THE 19TH ST ROW.CHICK-FIL-A SITE AREA: 76,622 SF (1.759 ACRES)TOTAL SITE AREA: 200,463 SF (2.843 ACRES)OPEN SPACE: 2% OF SITE AREA REQUIRED76,222 X 0.02 = 1,524 SF REQUIRED2,955 SF PROVIDED (SEE PLAN)BUILDING AREA: TOTAL BLDG AREA: 6,320 SF (CFA BLDG)HARDSCAPETOTAL HARDSCAPE: 159,883 SF (CFA & COMMON SITES)BLDGS + HARDSCAPE: 166,203 SFMODIFIED OVERALL200,463 SF - 166,203 SF =SITE AREA: 34,260 SF (=LS AREA)(EXCLUDING PVMTS & BLDGS)EXEMPT AREAS:WITHIN 10' OF BLDG: 20 SFLESS THAN 6' WIDE: 3,441 SFTOTAL EXEMPT: 3,461 SF34,260 SF - 3,461 SF = 30,799 (= AREA TO CALC TREE QTY)LS VEGE AREA REQD.:34,260 SF (ls area) x .6 = 20,556 SFLS AREA PROVIDED:= 34,260 SF - 598 SF ROCK MULCH=33,662 SF VEGETATED AREACONTAINER PLANTS REQ'D.TOTAL LS AREA:34,260 SFX 10% = 3,426 SF AREA REQ'DCONTAINER PLANTAREA PROVIDED: 21,195 SFNATIVE PLANTS CALCULATIONTOTAL TREES QTY: 66SHRUBS QTY:539GRASSES QTY:312GCs QTY:4,388PERENNIALS:347TOTAL PLANTS: 5,652X 50% = 2,826 NATIVES REQDNATIVES PROVIDED:4,508PARKING LOT TREESTOTAL TREES QTY: 65 ON-SITE; 1 IN ROWTOT.
