1. Design Guidelines
   1. Plant Materials
      Plant materials used in conformance with the provisions of this Section shall be of good quality, disease and pest free at planting, and of a species normally grown in Central Indiana, and capable of withstanding the extremes of individual site microclimates. Plant material shall be selected for interest in its structure, texture, color, and for its ultimate growth. A variety of compatible species should be included in the planting plan for a specific site or development. The use of drought-tolerant plant material is preferred. The use of salt-tolerant plant material is preferred for landscaping in or near the rights-of-way.
      1. The primary landscaping materials used in and around private parking areas shall be trees that provide shade at maturity. Shrubs, groundcover, and other planting materials may be used to compliment tree landscaping, as described above but shall not be the sole contribution to the landscaping.
      2. The primary landscaping materials used in the landscape buffer yards and adjacent to the buildings shall be shade trees, ornamental trees, shrubs, and groundcovers and other planting materials.
      3. The primary landscaping materials used in LID stormwater BMPs shall be trees, shrubs, and herbaceous vegetation that are able to tolerate and thrive at various depths and lengths of inundation. {Refer to Appendix H-3, “Stormwater Technical Standards Manual”.} ORD. #22-06-13 ⍋
   2. Softening of Walls and Fences
      Plant materials should be placed intermittently against long expanses of building walls, fences, and other barriers to create a softening effect.
   3. {Clearance
      Trees shall be planted so that when they reach maturity there will be a minimum of ten (10) feet of clearance between the tree trunks and structures, buildings, overhangs, walls, fences, and/or other trees.} ORD. #32-10-11
   4. Scale and Nature of Landscaping Material
      The scale and nature of landscaping materials shall be appropriate to the size of the structures. Large scaled buildings, for example, should generally be complemented by larger scaled plants.{Form, texture, color, pattern of growth, and adaptability to local conditions shall be considered when selecting plant materials.} ORD. #32-10-11
   5. Evergreens
      Evergreens should be incorporated into the landscape treatment of a site, particularly in those areas where screening and buffering are required.
   6. Planting Beds
      Planting beds should be mulched but mulch shall not be used as a substitute for plant materials.
   7. Preservation of Existing Plant Materials
      Existing plant material should be incorporated into the landscaping treatment of a site. The preservation of natural features and landscaping is a criterion for subdivision and planned development review. (See Natural Area Protection section for additional requirements).
   8. Protection of Plant Materials
      1. The interior dimensions, specifications, and design of any planting area or planting median proposed to be constructed shall be sufficient to protect the landscaping materials planted therein and to provide for proper growth.
      2. Clearance of trees and vegetation during the land development process shall be limited to that necessary for and directly related to the construction of improvements specifically authorized by the improvement location permit.
      3. In locations where plants will be susceptible to injury by pedestrian or motor traffic, they shall be protected by appropriate curbs, tree guards or other devices.
      4. Landscaping installed adjacent to parking areas shall require that all plant materials are set back from the edge of the pavement/concrete a sufficient distance so that parked vehicles do not over-hang the landscape area and destroy or damage the plant materials.
   9. Designing for Safety
      Landscaping shall not be approved which would inhibit or make more difficult the use of emergency vehicles and all approved landscaping plans will give consideration to safety precautions which will protect both vehicular and the pedestrian public. Landscaping modifications will also be considered for public buildings, including schools, to allow for greater visibility and allow for natural surveillance around the building structure. {Plantings in landscaping areas shall not obstruct line-of-sight or vision corner clearance areas. To maintain site lines, trees shall be planted a minimum of twenty (20) feet from the curb of intersecting streets, five (5) feet from a driveway, and ten (10) feet from a street light or street regulatory or warning signs.} Adequate provision for snow storage shall be considered by the Director of Planning and Development {or his/her designee.} ORD. #32-10-11
   10. Detention/Retention Basins and Ponds ⍋
       Detention/Retention basins and ponds shall be landscaped. Such landscaping should include shade and ornamental trees, evergreens, shrubs, hedges, turf, groundcover, and other plant materials. {To enhance the stormwater quality benefit of detention/retention basins and ponds, native plants shall be used to filter and trap harmful sediments and pollutants before they reach the basin or pond. Refer to Appendix H-3, “Stormwater Technical Standards Manual”.} ORD. #22-06-13
   11. {LID Stormwater BMPs ⍋
       LID Stormwater BMPs shall be landscaped. Areas included in rain gardens or vegetated sites including features created to meet Stormwater Management Requirements Ordinance No. 24-5-06 and any amendments thereto shall be counted toward any interior site or parking lot landscaping, and if vegetated to meet the requirements for landscaped buffers shall count towards those buffer requirements.} ORD. #22-06-13
   12. Domestic Turf Grasses
       Domestic turf grasses should be used in areas with little or no slope to prevent the runoff or irrigation water.
   13. Energy Conservation
       Plant material placement will be designed to reduce the energy consumption needs of the development.
       1. Deciduous trees should be placed on the south and west sides of buildings to provide shade from the summer sun.
       2. Evergreen and other plant materials should be concentrated on the north side of buildings to dissipate the effect of winter winds.
   14. Height of Landscaping
       1. Where proposed landscaping or screening is to abut a public road or parking area, the measured height of materials used shall be based on the grade of the abutting road or parking area and the top of the material used.
       2. Where a proposed landscape or screening area is to abut an adjoining neighbor’s property line, the measured height of materials used shall be based on the grade of the abutting property line and the top the material used.
   15. {Noise Reduction
       Properties adjacent to highly traveled roads, and/or commercial or industrial uses shall arrange landscaping to reduce the intensity of noise by reflecting, deflecting, or absorbing sound. Earth berms, walls, fences, and/or plantings providing physical separation are examples of techniques to reduce or absorb noise.] ORD. #32-10-11
2. Design Standards
   1. Selection
      Permitted plant materials are outlined in Table 12.0.4.B and the following: All plants shall conform to the American Standard for Nursery Stock (ANSI Z60.1) size and width specifications.
      1. Trees
         1. Canopy Trees
            Unless otherwise noted, all canopy trees proposed to be used in accordance with this classification shall be a minimum of twelve (12) feet in height and have a minimum trunk caliper of two and one-half (2.5) inches at the time of planting twelve (12) inches above the grade. The trees should be of a variety, which will attain an average mature spread greater than thirty-five (35) feet. Canopy trees that are multi-stemmed must be a minimum of twelve (12) feet in height, and have a minimum of three (3) stems at the time of planting.
         2. Understory Trees
            All understory trees proposed to be used in accordance with this classification shall be a minimum of eight (8) feet in height and have a minimum trunk caliper of one and one-half (1.5) inches at the time of planting. They should be of a variety that will attain an average mature height of greater than fifteen (15) feet.

Ornamental grasses may be used to supplement shrub plantings within perimeter parking landscape areas and interior parking islands but shall not constitute more than twenty (20) percent of plantings in these areas. Normal maintenance of ornamental grasses constitutes trimming back the grasses to no more than four (4) inches in height in the spring of each year.
      3. Native Prairie Grasses and/or Wildflowers
         Due to circumstances where maintaining large areas of turf grasses is impractical or difficult, establishing an area of native prairie grasses or wildflowers, may be permitted at the discretion of the Director of Planning and Development, under the following conditions:
         1. Must be set back from the property lines by a minimum of five (5) feet. The setback is not required where the defined landscape area abuts another similar private or public landscape area.
         2. Must be a minimum of fifteen (15) feet from any building foundation.
         3. Must be maintained at least once per year through mowing or, burning if appropriate, and permits are obtained through the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) and the Noblesville Fire Department.

1. 1. 4. Prohibited Landscape Materials
         Prohibited landscape materials include rocks, gravel, stone, asphalt, {used in internal and perimeter parking lots areas and landscape buffer yards;} thorn-bearing plant species and the Juniper plant species. Flowering species such as roses may be authorized by the Director of Planning and Development. ORD. 31-9-10

1. 2. Clustering of Trees
      Where trees are required based on a linear footage calculation, it may be possible for these trees to be planted in clusters as opposed to being evenly space in a line. In the case where clustering is used, no tree shall be located any closer than ten (10) feet, or any further than fifty (50) feet from the next closest required tree. Any such clustering plan must be approved by the Director of Planning and Development prior to installation of the landscaping.
   3. Staggering Requirement for Trees and Shrubs
      When required for perimeter parking landscaping and buffering, trees and shrubs may be required to be planted in staggered rows to provide the effective diagonal planting of the plants.
      1. Tree Staggering
         These rows should be planted in a manner to provide for equal spacing both in width and depth between each plant.
         
2. 1. 2. Shrub Staggering
         Shrubs should be planted in an alternating pattern formed by two rows, two (2) feet apart on center, each of which is made up of shrubs six (6) feet on center.
         

1. 4. Undulating Planting Beds
      Where applicable, it is desirable to create undulating planting beds to provide more landscape interest, as opposed to trees and shrubs being evenly spaced in a straight line.
   5. Mixing Plant Species
      When more than twenty (20) shrubs and ten (10) trees are required on a site to meet these regulations, a mix of species shall be provided. The following table indicates the maximum quantity of trees and shrubs of the same species and genus that may be planted. In addition, shrubs should generally be divided equally between deciduous and evergreen varieties.

6. Berms
   Berms shall maintain a maximum height of six (6) feet and a minimum height of three (3) feet. The berm shall be required to maintain a 3 to 1 slope. The top of such berms shall be located as closely as possible to the property line of the use. The landscaping required in this case shall be equal in number to the landscaping number otherwise required for buffering of the use. In terms of height, the landscaping plus the berm shall be required to meet the height standard that would otherwise be required for the buffering of the use.
7. Fences or Walls
   Decorative fences or walls shall be permitted, in addition to required landscaping, between a non-residential development and adjacent residential structures or along the frontage of residential subdivisions. This standard does not apply to individual single-family or two-family residences. Fences or walls shall comply with the following:
   1. Fences and walls shall be solid, opaque, and constructed of wood or masonry.
   2. No fence shall be located inside of any required front yard setback {unless granted a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals or a waiver from the Plan Commission and/or Council.} ORD. #32-10-11
   3. In order to break the visual monotony of a masonry or wood fence or wall, at least one (1) shrub or vine shall be planted abutting the wall for every ten (10) feet of wall length, but not necessarily evenly spaced ten (10) feet apart.
   4. The required shrubs/vines shall be installed outside of the fence/wall, and the fence/wall shall be erected a minimum of four (4) feet inside the property line to allow for the planting and maintenance of the shrubs/vines.
   5. In lieu of the vine or shrubbery requirements above, the Director of Planning and Development shall be authorized to approve a masonry wall having significant design variation evenly spaced at internals of not more than twenty (20) feet.
8. Duplicate Planting Requirements
   It is not the intent of this Ordinance to generate multiple rows of trees and shrubs resulting from implementation of this Ordinance together with Street Tree requirements and/or other landscaping treatments. In these instances, the most restrictive standard shall be used. In some instances, where the building or parking lot setback from the right-of-way is greater than twenty (20) feet, street trees may still be required in addition to other landscaping requirements, per the discretion of the Director of Planning and Development.
9. Application Variations
   1. Special Landscape District (Appendix G)
      Due to the more compact layout of the Special Landscape District, normal landscaping requirements may be impractical, therefore modified parking lot and landscaping buffer requirements are outlined in the associated tables in Section 5 and Section 7 of this Ordinance.
   2. Corporate Campus Planned {Development District (CCPD) ​
      See Article 8 for landscaping requirements.
   3. Federal Hill Planned Development District (FeHiPD)
      See Article 8 for landscaping requirements.
   4. Village Center Planned Development District (VCPD)
      See Article 8 for landscaping requirements.
   5. All Other Areas
      Landscaping standards as set forth within this Ordinance, apply to all areas with in the Noblesville Planning Jurisdiction outside of the Special Landscape District,  the Corporate Campus Planned District, Federal Hill Planned Development District, and the Village Center Planned Development District} as described above. ORD #25-04-15
10. Installation Prior to Certificate of Occupancy
    All landscaping required by the approved landscaping plan shall be installed prior to issuance of the Final Certificate of Occupancy unless approved by the Director of Planning and Development for weather related reasons or unique circumstances. Where landscaping cannot be installed, a Surety Bond must be posted with the City covering one hundred ten (110) percent of the estimated installation costs including the plant materials.

Effective on: 5/12/2015

1. All single row parking landscape islands and peninsulas shall be a minimum of one hundred eighty (180) square feet in area with a minimum width of nine (9) feet measured from back of curb to back of curb {or edge of pavement.} Each island and peninsula shall contain a minimum of one (1) canopy tree and five (5) evergreen or deciduous shrubs, or ornamental grasses. {If the landscape island or peninsula is intended to function as an “LID Stormwater BMP”, then the plant material should be able to tolerate and thrive at various depths and lengths of inundation. Refer to Appendix H-3, “Stormwater Technical Standards Manual”.} ORD. #22-06-13 ⍋
2. All double row parking landscape islands shall be a minimum of two hundred forty (240) square feet in area with a minimum width of nine (9) feet measured from back of curb to back of curb {or edge of pavement.} Each island and peninsula shall contain a minimum of two (2) canopy trees and ten (10) evergreen or deciduous shrubs, or ornamental grasses. ORD. #22-06-13 ⍋
3. All interior parking rows shall be terminated at both ends with landscape islands. The exterior parking rows abutting the Perimeter Parking Lot Landscaping Area, which are not adjacent to a structure, shall require the installation of one additional canopy tree at both ends of the exterior row.

   4. One hundred (100) percent of every parking lot island or peninsula outside of shrub masses shall be planted in turf or other approved groundcover in the appropriate density to achieve complete cover within two (2) years as determined by the approved landscape plan.
   5. If the specific application of the interior landscape requirements will seriously limit functions of the building site, the Director of Planning and Development shall have the authority to permit consolidation and relocation of these landscaped areas on the building site.
   6. The primary plant materials used in parking lots shall be canopy tree species, in conformance with applicable provisions of Sections 4.A. and 4.B. above. Understory trees, shrubbery, hedges, and other plant materials may be used to supplement the canopy tree plantings, but shall not be the sole contribution to such landscaping.

4. Perimeter Parking Lot Landscaping
   1. Intent and Application
      The landscape requirements identified below provide for the enhancement of all parking lots by recognizing two distinct conditions. The first condition is where parking lots are located within front and corner side yards, where a uniform scheme of landscaping is required to protect the aesthetics along public streets. The second conditions is where parking lots are located within rear and interior side yards and minimum requirements for beautification of both residential and non-residential uses are desired. The intent is to require a higher level of landscaping abutting or adjacent to residential uses (principally multi-family uses) than for non-residential uses. It should be noted that the issue of reducing impacts between dissimilar uses is addressed in Section 7. Landscape Buffer Yards.
   2. Area and Configuration

   Where it is possible to save older and/or larger trees, each tree determined to quality and designated on the landscape plan subsequently shall be saved and credited toward other required tree plantings. The location of the trees to be saved shall be used to determine the areas where landscaping requirements can be redirected. The diameter of the trees that qualify under this section, and the respective credits that they merit, are listed in the table below:

5. Protection Practices
   1. Protecting the root zone is the most critical factor in tree preservation throughout the development process. Disturbances within this area directly affect tree survival. To protect the root zones, the following standards apply:
      1. When earthwork, grading, or construction activities are planned adjacent to a natural area, a limit of disturbance line shall be shown on the construction plans and tree preservation plans. All such areas shall be protected through installation of temporary fencing , barriers, or other measures approved by the Director of Planning. Such fencing, barriers, or other materials shall be installed and identified through signage as a ‘TREE PRESERVATION ZONE” (multiple signs) prior to commencing land disturbance, and shall remain throughout the period of construction.
      2. Barriers shall be used to protect trees during site development. The root zone of trees shall include no less than the total area beneath the tree(s) canopy as defined by the farthest canopy of the tree(s) plus a five-foot (5) wide protective buffer.
      3. Disturbed areas adjacent to tree preservation zones shall be mulched to provide additional protection to tree roots.
      4. Grading measures or protective devices, such as tree wells, tree walls, or specialized fill and pavement designs, shall be installed when necessary to preserve identified tree specimens.
      5. Grade changes adjacent to tree preservation zones shall not result in alteration to soil or drainage conditions that would adversely affect existing vegetation. These areas shall be evaluated for flood tolerance and storm water routed around these areas deemed intolerant of an increase of additional flow from urbanization.
      6. Construction site activities such as parking, material storage, burry pits, concrete washout, etc., shall not be allowed within the Tree Preservation Zone.
      7. The determination of sight-distance clearances along roadways shall be completed graphically and submitted to the Department of Planning and Development for review and approval.
      8. No disturbance shall be permitted within the Tree Preservation Zone including trenching, backfilling, driving or parking equipment, and/or dumping of trash, oil, paint, or other materials detrimental to plant health. No vehicles, machinery, tools, chemicals, construction materials, or temporary soil deposits shall be permitted within such barriers. No notices or other objects shall be nailed or stapled to preserved trees.
      9. Mature Trees shall not be topped. The trees shall be pruned according to procedures established by the American National Standards Institute A300 Pruning Standards.
      10. Should any tree designated for preservation die within five (5) years of project completion, the owner/developer/association shall replace such tree with a tree of equal tree preservation value within 180 days based on the following calculations:

11. 1. 10. Trees, vegetation, and shrub removal shall not be permitted prior to the issuance of an improvement location permit.
       11. Plantings, landscaping, and removal of existing natural areas shall be subject to inspections to verify compliance.
