CHAPTER 63 - LOT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
63.400 OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING REGULATIONS
The provisions of this Chapter establish the standards for the design, location, and maintenance of off-street parking and loading facilities required by this ordinance. Requiring bufferyards and internal landscaping of parking lots provides multiple public benefits. Bufferyards and landscaping:
- provide a visual screen between residential buildings, living space, and parking areas;
- shade large expanses of paving thus reducing daytime heating and cooling needs;
- control stormwater runoff;
- beautify an area devoid of vegetation; and
- assist in improved pedestrian safety and circulation of vehicles.
