Code Clean-Up Parking Lot Landscape and Configuration 

Status: Under Review

The City is working on a multi-phase code clean-up project with the goal of providing a more clear and usable code for both citizens and developers. The  proposed changes will update the following code sections: The proposed updates include increasing the amount of landscaping in parking area by categorizing trees in the landscaping and requiring a specific number of trees, shrubs, and ground cover based on number of parking spaces, and decreasing the number of parking spaces between landscape islands. Updates will further describe joint/shared parking requirements and internal pedestrian pathways, and recommend, rather than require covered bike parking.
