In the CC 12 district,the total amount of required street landscaping is equal to the sum of 20 percent 13 of the first 150 feet of street yard measured from the property line,ten percent of the next 14 150 feet, and five percent of any additional depth. In this example,the required 15 landscaping is calculated as follows: 16 First 150 feet: 150 x 800 x 0.20 =24,000 sq. ft. 17 Next 100 feet: 100 x 800 x 0.10 = 8,000 sq. ft. 18 Total 32,000 sq. ft. 19 A minimum of 20 percent of the first 150 feet of the street yard, or 24,000 square feet 20 must be landscaped. However, some of the required landscaping within the second 100 21 feet may be transferred to the front of the lot,provided that not less than five percent of 22 this second area is landscaped. Thus, the developer could choose to transfer up to 4,000 23 square feet of landscaping from the second part of the street yard to the front 150 feet. 24 The minimum depth of the street landscaping from the front property line is ten feet. This 25 minimum accounts for 800 x 10, or 8,000 square feet of the required landscaping in the ORDINANCE NO. 5/CZ) / PAGE 18 1 front 150 feet of the street yard. An additional 16,000 square feet must be provided 2 within this area. 3 In certain situations, landscaping that is planted and maintained within the public right- 4 of-way may help fulfill these street landscaping requirements.
