Fences contributing to landscaping requirements are not permitted
along street frontages for nonresidential uses. Where used in combination
with plant materials to meet buffer yard requirements, a minimum of
50% of all plant materials shall be located on the exterior side (the
side away from the center of the subject property) of the fence. A
building wall which does not contain doors (except those used for
emergency exit) may be used to satisfy the required fence portions
of the buffer yard requirements.

NOTES:
| |
1
|
"Prohibited species" may not be included as part of any landscaping plan that is subject to City review per § 10-132. The purpose of this provision is to limit the planting of species that are invasive, have invasive tendencies, or that may perpetuate or spread disease.
|
2
|
"Species to use sparingly" may be used as part of an overall
landscaping plan, but only if the number of individual plants does
not constitute more than one plant per 20 total plants within the
same plant classification. For example, if a landscaping plan includes
a total of 20 tall deciduous trees, no more than one of those 20 trees
may be classified as a "species to use sparingly." The purpose of
this provision is to encourage plant species diversity throughout
the City.
