Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any building or structure, all screening and landscaping shall be in place in accordance with the landscape plan.

In any case in which a certificate of occupancy is sought at a season of the year in which the City Building Services Director or his/her designee determines that it would be impractical to establish landscaping, a temporary certificate of occupancy may be issued provided a letter of agreement from the property owner is submitted that states when the installation shall occur. All landscaping required by the landscaping plan shall be installed within four (4) months of the date of the issuance of the certificate of occupancy.

Landscaping plans shall be prepared by a person knowledgeable in plant material usage and landscape design (e.g., landscape architect, landscape contractor, landscape designer, etc.) and shall contain the following minimum information:

Rigid compliance with these landscaping requirements shall not be such as to cause visibility obstructions and/or blind corners at intersections. Whenever an intersection of two (2) or more public rights-of-way occurs, a triangular visibility area, as described below, shall be created. Landscaping within the triangular visibility area shall be designed to provide unobstructed cross-visibility at a level between thirty inches (30") and eight feet (8') measured from the grade of the public roadway.

Landscaping, except required grass and low ground cover, shall not be located closer than five feet (5') from the edge of any accessway pavement or driveway.

The screening wall shall be constructed of a material pre-approved during the development process. The purpose of the screening wall or fence is to provide a visual and protective barrier between the properties.

In non-residential and multiple-family zoning districts, no fence or wall shall be erected in any front yard or side yard which is adjacent to a public street unless the fence or wall is required to screen the development from an adjacent residential area. If required to screen a residential area, the screening fence or wall shall be extended out to the street right-of-way line by the developer of the non-residential or multiple-family development. The fence or wall shall be finished on the side that faces the public in a manner and color that is compatible to the exterior finish of the non-residential or multiple-family building(s). Screening fences or walls shall be placed such that they do not impede visibility for vehicles entering or exiting the non-residential or multiple-family development, as required by this section 14.02.123.

All wall or fence openings shall be equipped with gates equal in height and screening characteristics to the wall or fence.

Alternative equivalent screening may be approved through the site plan approval process, section 14.02.036.

Upon completion or abandonment of construction or expiration of permit, such field offices or buildings and material storage areas shall be promptly removed at the satisfaction of the City.

Minimum lot widths for lots with predominate frontage on the curved radius of a street, including those located on a cul-de-sac or "eyebrow" portion of a street, shall be measured as the linear distance of the curved front building line, and shall be shown on the subdivision plat. Lot widths for all lots shall be as set forth in the respective zoning district for each lot.

Where a future right-of-way line has been established for future widening or opening of a street or thoroughfare, upon which a lot abuts, then the front, side, or rear yard shall be measured from the future right-of-way line.

On a corner lot used for single-family dwellings, both street exposures shall be treated as front yards on all lots platted after the initial date of the adoption of this article, except that where one street exposure is designated as a side yard for both adjacent lots or where the two lots are separated by an alley, street right-of-way, creek or floodplain area, or other similar phenomenon. In such case, a building line may be designated by the Mayor/City Secretary or his/her designee, with a minimum side yard of ten feet (10') or more, as determined by the applicable zoning district standards. On lots which were official lots of record prior to the effective date of this article, the minimum side yard adjacent to a side street shall comply with the minimum required side yard for the respective district.

Every part of a required side yard shall be open and unobstructed except for the ordinary projections of window sills, belt courses, cornices, and other architectural features not to exceed twelve inches (12") into the required side yard, and roof eaves projecting not to exceed thirty-six inches (36") into the required side yard.
