<br />Little Canada Zoning Ordinance General Provisions <br />903-29 <br />o. Curbing and Landscaping. Except for single family and two-family <br />dwellings, all open off-street parking areas shall have a perimeter <br />continuous curb barrier around the entire parking lot. Said barrier shall not <br />be closer than five (5) feet to any lot line. In the case of commercial, <br />industrial, or multiple family property which abuts R-1 or R-2 Zoning <br />Districts, said barrier shall be no closer than twenty (20) feet from the <br />shared property line. Landscaping in accordance with Section 903.020.G. <br />of this Ordinance shall be provided in all areas bordering the parking area. <br />In addition, within off-street parking areas of fifty (50) or more stalls, <br />irrigated, landscaped islands shall be provided at a rate of one island per <br />fifteen (15) surface spaces or fraction thereof. For the purposes of this <br />ordinance, an island shall be required to consist of one hundred (100) <br />square feet of landscaped surface. Such islands shall be contained in <br />raised, curbed beds consistent with parking lot construction requirements <br />of this ordinance, except that infiltration basins and rain-gardens may be <br />allowed in appropriate locations. It is not the intent of this paragraph to <br />relieve a project of the installation of islands which are necessary to <br />promote the safe and efficient flow of traffic, regardless of parking lot <br />size. <br /> <br />p.
