| Note: All landscape screening must adhere to s.295-405-1 |
Principle: |
|
 |
Landscaping should be used to surround or visually separate utilitarian objects from street frontages. |
Standard: |
|
Type "G" Landscaping |
This type is primarily intended to surround or visually separate utilitarian objects from street frontages. Examples of items to be screened with type "G" landscaping include mechanical equipment or enclosures, dumpsters and other trash collection equipment, and loading docks. This type of landscaping does not require trees, but does require screening from the ground level at least 6 feet above grade. Plantings in the low- level, eye-level and high-level zones shall create a continuous edge of plants, completely obscuring the area behind the landscaped area from view from the street. |
