At that time, an area equal to eight percent (8%) of the developed area (building site) shall be required to be landscaped in accordance with the City of Brenham Zoning Ordinance.

In order to maximize the preservation of existing trees, surveyed trees in good health that have a caliper of at least four (4) inches measured six inches (6") from the ground may provide credit towards the landscaping requirement. Each existing tree preserved between four (4") and twelve (12") inches in diameter measured six inches (6") from the ground may receive landscape credits for two (2) trees.

Required trees shall generally be spread throughout the parking lot but may be clustered for the purposes of existing tree preservation or to accommodate topographic constraints.

Where loading facilities are for a nonresidential building that is adjacent to an existing residential use or is adjacent to the boundary of a residential district, the loading spaces must be located so that they are visually screened by an intervening building. If this is not possible due to the parcel being of such a restricted area, shape or slope that it cannot be screened by an intervening building, then a screening wall or fence of wood or masonry construction shall be erected of sufficient height to screen the loading facility from view when standing at any point on a lot upon which a residential structure is located or at any point on a lot which is zoned for single-family residential use.

Whenever a building or use constructed or established after the effective date of this ordinance is enlarged in floor area, number of employees, number of dwelling units, seating capacity or otherwise, and said enlargement creates a need for an increase of ten (10) percent or more in the number of existing parking spaces, such spaces shall be provided on the basis of the enlargement. Whenever a building or use existing prior to the effective date of this ordinance is enlarged to the extent of fifty (50) percent or more in floor area or in the area, said building or use shall then and thereafter comply with the parking requirements set forth herein.
