SECTION 120:10-17-6. Landscaping in the public right-of-way
Latest version.
- In the event, extraordinary or exceptional conditions exist pertaining to a particular piece of property due to size, shape, topography, subsurface conditions, or overhead structures; installation of plantings would be a detriment to the public; the requisite number of parking spaces can not be achieved and a variance of number or sizes of spaces can not be granted, a landscape buffer strip in the right-of-way may be installed pursuant to this subchapter only under the following conditions:(1) Where parking lots are adjacent to sidewalks in the public right-of-way, continuous landscape buffer strips will be constructed except at points of egress and ingress into the facility. The landscape buffer strips shall be a minimum of 5 feet in width and shall contain, in addition to ground cover, trees and shrubs planted along the entire length.(2) All plantings must be drought tolerant and comply, in as much as possible, with the height, width and caliper requirements of this regulation.(3) The landscape plan must be submitted to, and approved by the City of Oklahoma City. The approved permit must be submitted in conjunction with the landscape plan.(4) In no case shall this subsection supersede the screening requirement for off-street parking facilities adjoining residentially used or zoned properties.
