The Base Standard on Chart 3 describes the standard buffer yard which shall be required for each type of buffer. The minimum required width which shall be required for the base standard shall be that width which has a plant multiplier of 1.00. City of Greeley Development Code Page 216 Chapter 18.44 Landscaping&Buffering Standards 18.44.060 The width of a buffer yard may vary, based upon Chart 3 and the plant materials required in such a buffer shall be adjusted based on the width and related plant multiplier. For example, the base standard for Buffer Yard Type A is a fifteen(15) foot wide buffer containing one(1) canopy tree, one (1)ornamental tree or large shrub and five (5) shrubs per one hundred(100) linear feet. The addition of a six(6) foot masonry wall will allow reduction of the required amount of plant materials by fifty (50) percent. The addition of a three(3) foot berm or six (6) foot fence will allow reduction of the required plants materials to seventy-five (75) percent. Other options not listed on Chart 3 such as the combination of a berm and a wall may be evaluated by the Community Development Director as an equivalent design to those provided in Chart 3, Buffer Yard Types. 2. To determine the total number of plants required, the linear footage of each side of the property requiring a buffer shall be divided by one hundred (100). Dimensions less than or greater than one hundred (100) linear feet shall be required to provide plants based on a proportionate linear footage amount. When the number of plants required on Chart 3 results in a fractional amount the fractional amount shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number and in no event shall a buffer yard contain less than one (1) canopy tree, one(1) ornamental tree or large shrub and one(1) shrub. The plants required in a buffer yard shall be distributed along the length of the buffer. Groupings of plants are encouraged. 3. Where a high or very high intensity use is proposed with a building height which exceeds the height of an adjacent low or medium intensity use, one (1) foot of additional buffer yard shall be required for every three (3) feet of height in excess of the height of the existing building containing a low or medium intensity use. Where a high or very high intensity use is proposed with a building height which exceeds the maximum height permitted on vacant adjacent property zoned for low or medium intensity uses, one (1) foot of additional buffer yard shall be required for every three(3) feet of height in excess of the maximum height permitted on the adjacent property. a. Such additional width of buffer yard, if required, shall be added to the buffer yard width specified in Chart 3, Buffer Yard Types for the applicable buffer yard. Additional buffer yard width as specified in Section 18.44.060.E shall include an increase in trees and shrubs based on the proportionate increase of yard width. 4. The preservation of existing trees in buffer yards shall be allowed as a substitute for the required plant materials as provided for in the Credit for City of Greeley Development Code Page 217 Chapter 18.44 Landscaping&Buffering Standards 18.44.060 Existing Trees table in Section 18.44.050.A.5.b. When existing trees are located in only a part of the buffer yard the number of trees or shrubs required may be reduced in proportion to the percentage of the area of the buffer yard occupied by existing trees. 5. If a newly developing property is adjacent to a vacant property of a different zone, then as a minimum standard Buffer Yard Type A shall be required of the newly developing property until the adjacent property is developed, at which time, the developer of the adjacent vacant property shall be responsible for providing any remaining portion of required buffer yard, based on the intensity levels of the land uses. Refer to Charts 1 - 3 for further information. 6. If a newly developing property is adjacent to a lot that is developed, that portion of the buffer yard which has not previously been provided on the developed lot shall be required of the newly developing property. 18.44.070 Parking Lot Landscaping Standards. A. When a parking lot which contains at least six (6)parking spaces in any zoning district is located adjacent to a public right-of-way or a residential use, screening at least three (3) feet high j providing screening of at least sixty (60) percent opacity year round for at least seventy-five (75) ` e'-` j '•+t . `75'* percent of the frontage, shall be required between the a t parking lot and the right-of-way or residential use. 41,4Y °�y '�: �._ Such screening shall be located on a setback a - minimum of ten(10) feet in width and shall consist Figure 22: Screening to 60%opacity of landscape plantings, berming, fencing, walls or a combination thereof and shall be subject to meeting all clear vision provisions of Section 18.44.090.B. B. Parking lots containing at least six (6)parking spaces shall have landscaped islands within a minimum of five (5)percent of the interior of the parking lot. Such landscaped islands shall contain a minimum of one (1)two (2) inch caliper deciduous shade tree. 1. For every sixteen hundred (1,600) square feet of parking area and access drives, one (1) two (2) inch caliper shade tree, or the equivalent from the following chart, shall be provided in and around the parking area. For example, a four thousand (4,000) square foot parking area may use one (1) three (3) inch caliper shade tree. Alternatives may be made using two (2) two and one-half(2-1/2) inch caliper shade trees, three (3)two (2) City of Greeley Development Code Page 218 Chapter 18.44 Landscaping&Buffering Standards 18.44.070 inch caliper shade trees, or three (3) one and one-half(1-1/2) inch caliper ornamental trees.

Landscaped areas situated outside of the parking lot may be counted toward meeting the interior landscaping requirement if such areas provide shade in the parking lot and if 0111110 approved by the City. C. Deciduous shade trees shall be provided within the interior of parking areas in landscaped islands a minimum of six (6) feet in width and nineteen (19) feet in length, or equal to the length of a parking stall if other than a standard stall dimension is used. The remaining area surrounding trees shall be landscaped with Figure 23: Landscaped shrubs not to exceed three (3) feet in height and ground cover, or islands(top)and aisles in non-organic material, as long as the non-organic material does not parking lots exceed twenty-five (25) percent of the total landscaped area. D. Landscaped areas within parking lot interiors shall be located in such a manner as to divide and break up the expanse of paving. There shall be no more than twenty (20) parking spaces in a continuous row on one (1) side without being broken by a landscape island. Landscaping aisles which have parking on both sides may be permitted as an alternative to individual landscape islands as long as no more than fifty (50) percent of the required islands and the equivalent area of said islands are incorporated into landscaping aisles. E. Landscape areas shall be protected from vehicular encroachment by the use of wheel stops or curbing. Wheel stops shall be placed to prevent damage to any planting areas by vehicular overhang.
