The following equation shall be used to calculate required <br />canopy coverage: <br />Vehicular Hardscape (Square Feet) x Canopy Cover Percent <br />= Required Minimum Canopy Cover (Square Feet) <br />The total of the assigned canopy coverage values for all the <br />trees in or near the vehicular hardscape must be equal or <br />greater than the required minimum. Pervious pavements are <br />considered 50% hardscape. <br />c. The assigned canopy coverage value of each tree is based <br />on planting location, tree size and anticipated tree canopy <br />size 15 years after planting. The assigned canopy cover <br />value to each deciduous tree is described in the following <br />table and illustrations: <br />Assigned Canopy Cover Value <br />Planting Location <br />(for new trees) <br />Assigned Canopy <br />Coverage Value <br />Large Tree <br />Medium <br />Tree <br />Small Tree <br />Existing <br />Tree: <br />6- 12 "dbh <br />Interior <br />parking lot <br />islands <br />100% of the <br />canopy <br />square <br />footage <br />950 SF (or <br />1200 SF in <br />islands of 3 <br />or more <br />trees) <br />500 SF <br />250 SF <br />1900 SF <br />Within <br />less than <br />7' of <br />vehicular <br />hardscap <br />e edge <br />50% of <br />the <br />canopy <br />square <br />footage <br />600 SF <br />250 SF <br />125 SF <br />950 SF <br />7' -12' <br />from <br />vehicula <br />r <br />hardsca <br />pe edge <br />25% of <br />the <br />canopy <br />square <br />footage <br />300 SF <br />125 SF <br />NA <br />NA <br />Landscaping Regulations Draft Amendment 070313 <br />
