Pine Ridge City Zoning Code

PART 7

Landscape Requirements

§ 300-65 Applicability.

These requirements apply to developments or redevelopments where an expansion or redevelopment of a property results in an increase in the value of the property by 50% or more of the pre-development value, or an increase of 50% or more of the building or parking areas within the Town of Pine Ridge jurisdiction. This Part 7 does not apply to single-family housing units on individual lots. However, new subdivisions; group developments; mobile home parks; manufactured home parks; multifamily residential developments; MPDs; commercial institutional, and industrial developments; and all other developments other than construction of a dwelling unit on an individual lot not part of a larger residential development project are subject to the provisions of this Part 7.

§ 300-66 Landscaping plan requirements.

In addition to the site plan requirements from the appropriate land development regulation sections, the following standards shall apply:
A. 
North arrow and scale.
B. 
Topographic information and final grading adequate to identify and properly specify planting for areas needing slope protection.
C. 
The location and contours, at one-foot intervals, of all proposed berms.
D. 
The location and dimensions of all existing (to remain) and proposed structures, setback line and required bufferyards, parking lots, driveways, landscaped islands and strips, sidewalks, service areas, screening, fences, walls, berms, above or underground utilities and storm drainage systems, freestanding electrical equipment, recreational facilities, and other freestanding structural features as determined necessary by the Town.
E. 
Location of plant material, including name of plants (botanical and common), installation size, spread at time of planting and at maturity, quantities of plants, and other remarks as appropriate to describe plant selection (lawns and beds of annual or perennial plants may be designated by common names only).
F. 
On-site and abutting land use features (within 50 feet), and use(s) of adjacent parcel(s).
G. 
Protection plan for existing trees that are to be saved.
H. 
Location of irrigation system, if any, to landscaped areas.
I. 
Such other information as may be deemed necessary because of the landscaping requirements or physical characteristics peculiar to the particular development.

§ 300-67 Standards.

A. 
Planting. Vegetation used in landscaping or screening should be planted during the dormant season to ensure the best chance of survival. A surety bond may be required to insure the installation of landscaping, especially during the growing season.
B. 
Driver visibility. Landscaping, including existing or planted material, shall not obstruct the view of motorists using any street, private driveway, parking aisles or the approach to any street intersection.
C. 
Maintenance. The owner is responsible for maintaining all required plant material in good health. Any dead, unhealthy or missing plants must be replaced with vegetation that conforms to the initial planting standards of this section. All landscape planting areas shall be stabilized from soil erosion immediately upon planting and shall be maintained for the duration of the premises. In the event that plant material is severely damaged due to an unusual weather occurrence or other act of nature, the owner shall have until the end of the dormant season to replant.
D. 
Existing landscaping features.
(1) 
Use of existing trees or shrubs to satisfy off-street landscaping is strongly encouraged. If such existing landscaping is used and consists of mature and semi-mature trees, the Planning Official shall have the authority to reduce the amount of required landscaping by up to 50% based on the following schedule. In no instance shall any paved area within a parking area extend closer to any existing tree used for landscaping than its drip line. Any parcel that is to be developed, in any district, except for development of a single-family dwelling unit on an individual lot not part of larger platted subdivision, shall identify any and all trees with a DBH (diameter at breast height) of eight inches or greater located on the lot. Every reasonable effort shall be made by the developer to save such trees.
2" - 6" DBH tree
= 1 tree
7" - 12" DBH tree
= 2 trees
13" - 18" DBH tree
= 3 trees
19" - 24" DBH tree
= 4 trees
25" + DBH tree
= 5 trees
(2) 
In order to receive credit, preserved vegetation must be in good health and condition. Trees designated to be preserved, protective barriers must be indicated on the landscaping and grading plans. If a preserved tree dies, it must be replaced with the total number of trees, which were credited to the existing tree.
(3) 
Existing vegetation in the buffer may be counted toward the required plantings. The specific numbers and types of required plantings for each buffer type may be varied through alternative compliance, if the Planning Official determines that the existing vegetation forms an effective buffer.
E. 
General provisions.
(1) 
Plant installation standards. The following standards shall apply to all new plant material installed as a requirement of this section:
(a) 
A variety of different species (including both deciduous and evergreen species) shall be incorporated into the site design to provide visual interest, as well as disease and pest resistance.
(b) 
Indigenous and drought resistant plant material should be used wherever possible. If such plant materials are not used, then an irrigation system shall be installed.
(c) 
All plant material installed shall be free from disease.
(d) 
All plant material shall be installed in a fashion that ensures that availability of sufficient soil and water to sustain healthy growth.
(e) 
All plant material shall be planted in a manner that is not intrusive to utilities or pavement.
(f) 
Plant materials should be placed intermittently against long expanses of building walls, fences and other barriers to create a softening effect.
(g) 
Ground cover plants shall be planted in a number as appropriate by species to provide 50% surface coverage.
(h) 
Seeding or sodding shall be provided for full coverage within the first growing season.
(i) 
Sod shall be used where necessary to provide coverage and soil stabilization.
(j) 
Detention/retention basins and ponds should be landscaped. Landscaping should include canopy and understory trees, evergreens, shrubbery, hedges, and/or other live planting materials.
(k) 
Earthen berms and existing topography should, whenever practical, be incorporated into the landscape treatment of a site.
(l) 
Automated irrigation systems, when required, shall be equipped with electronic rain gauges to prevent inadvertent watering during periods of precipitation.
(2) 
All new plant material shall be the following minimum sizes:
(a) 
Small maturing (understory/ornamental) trees shall be a minimum 1 1/2 inch caliper at installation and multi-stem varieties shall be a minimum of five feet in height, as measured by ANSI Z60.1-1996 American Standard for Nursery Stock.
(b) 
Large and medium maturing (canopy) trees shall be a minimum two inches caliper at installation and multi-stem varieties shall be a minimum of 10 feet in height, as measured by ANSI Z60.1-1996 American Standard for Nursery Stock.
(c) 
Evergreen trees shall be a minimum six foot height at installation, as measured by ANSI Z60.1-1996 American Standard for Nursery Stock.
(d) 
Shrubs shall be a minimum of 18 inches in height at installation, as measured by ANSI Z60.1-1996 American Standard for Nursery Stock.
(3) 
All plant material used must meet the standards set forth in ANSI Z60.1-1996 American Standard for Nursery Stock. The Town Planning Official shall review questions about acceptable plant materials. A list of recommended plantings is located at the end of this Part 7.
(4) 
All landscape islands must be covered with living material including grass, groundcover, and shrubs, except for marked areas directly around the trees, so that no soil is exposed. No stone mulch shall be permitted. All other planting areas not covered by trees or shrubs shall be covered by grass, mulch and ground covers.

§ 300-68 Landscaped yards.

A. 
Street yards. The minimum average width of all required street yards shall be 10 feet. Widths shall be measured perpendicular to the appropriate street right-of-way. Trees for use in street yards shall be of large maturing canopy type. Ornamental and coniferous types shall not be used to meet the requirements of this section unless conflicts with overhead utilities exist. In such case, the Building Official may authorize the substitution of understory trees. Landscaping requirements are shown in Table 1.
B. 
Perimeter yards. The minimum width of all perimeter yards shall be 10 feet. In situations of incompatible adjacent land uses, a bufferyard may be required in lieu of a perimeter yard (see § 300-72). Trees used to satisfy these requirements may be of any type as provided for by this chapter. Landscaping requirements are shown in Table 1.
C. 
Zoning setbacks. The required landscaped yards shall not prohibit the location of buildings, structures or shared drives otherwise specifically allowed by the underlying zoning setbacks, and may be reduced accordingly by the Planning Official.
D. 
Maximum requirement. The landscaped yard should not result in requiring more than 35% of the available lot and may be reduced accordingly by the Planning Official. Additionally, the intent of this chapter shall not be construed as to mean that trees are to be planted in a density that would be unhealthy or damaging.

§ 300-69 Parking lots.

A. 
The impervious surface of the parking area and access area shall be separated from the street right-of-way and property lines by a landscaped strip at least 10 feet in width. Ingress and egress shall be provided through driveway openings only. In the event a parking lot is adjacent to a parking lot or driveway on another parcel, the required landscaped strip along the common property line between the two areas may be waived by the Planning Official, or the Planning Commission, if it will result in less traffic congestion on adjoining streets because of improved traffic circulation between the two parking lots or a reduction in the number of curb cuts.
B. 
The parking lot shall be constructed so that spaces are grouped into bays. At the end of each bay for eight or more cars, a landscaped island of at least nine feet in width and 15 feet in length shall be built to separate the bays from each other or from traffic lanes. When the parking bays contain double rows of parking spaces, the landscaped island shall be increased to nine feet in width and 30 feet in length. (Figure 7.11)[1] A parking bay may not be constructed to a length of more than 180 feet without constructing a landscaped island. The Planning Official may approve islands, which vary from 9' x 15' or 9' x 30' rectangles in order to provide desirable geometric design features such as rounded corners and angles to facilitate maneuvering of automobile traffic.

Figure - Attractive landscaping relieves the monotony and "sea of asphalt" appearance of large parking lots.
[1]
Editor's Note: So in original.
C. 
The landscaped areas within the parking lot shall not be less than 4% of the impervious surface area of the parking lot. The perimeter landscaped strip and street yards required shall be excluded from the calculations of the minimum landscaped percentage.
D. 
A minimum of one tree shall be provided within the landscaped areas in the parking lot for each 10 parking spaces in the lot. No trees identified as large maturing shall be planted within 20 feet of an electrical transmission or distribution line. Existing trees and natural vegetation shall be retained wherever possible, particularly where they border adjacent property. All parking facing street frontage shall plant shrubs to screen the area (not to exceed three feet at mature height at entrances and sight distance triangles) or create berms. No gaps greater than five feet are allowed in a screen. All applications for development review or zoning permits shall be accompanied by a landscaping plan.

§ 300-70 Landscape maintenance.

A. 
The owner, or his/her agent, shall be responsible for the maintenance, repair and replacement of all landscaping materials and barriers as may be required by the provisions of the Pine Ridge Land Development Regulations.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: See Part 10 of this chapter.
B. 
No plant material over 18 inches in height at maturity or structures of any kind shall be placed within the sight distance triangle or sight visibility triangle.
C. 
Fences and walks shall be maintained in good repair.

§ 300-71 Service/utility areas.

A. 
This section shall apply to all service areas which either present safety hazards or detract from the aesthetics of the community, or both; including but not limited to, loading docks, garbage collection sites, exposed utility fixtures, HVAC equipment, tanks, etc.
B. 
All service areas affected by this Part 7 shall be provided with a visual screen consisting of fences or landscaping, or both, designed and installed to screen the area from view from any public street or adjoining property and shall meet or exceed the minimum standards required below:
(1) 
The screening must be at least six feet in height or the height of the object to be screened;
(2) 
The screening must extend along the entire perimeter of the service area, except for necessary access;
(3) 
Fencing shall be designed to relate well to the principal building as to materials and colors. Fences must be constructed of brick, masonry, or wood and shall require appropriate plantings.
C. 
Garbage collection sites (dumpsters, compactors) shall be shielded from sight by screening as outlined above and shall be 80% opaque. This screening shall also be provided to deter unauthorized access.

§ 300-72 Bufferyards.

A. 
When land is developed and the adjacent property contains an unlike land use, bufferyards shall be provided along all side and rear property lines to insulate adjacent properties from adverse impacts. No structure or parking lot shall be permitted within a required bufferyard; however, driveways and other passive activities may utilize these spaces. All shrubs used for bufferyards shall be evergreen unless otherwise approved by the Planning Official. Shrubs must be 18 inches in height at installation. See Table 2 for specific planting requirements.
B. 
Bufferyard types.
(1) 
Type A - Shall apply when any use is similar to an adjacent use or has only a slight impact on the adjacent use. This is similar to the standard street yard requirement. See Table 3 for specific zoning uses to which this type of buffer shall apply.
(2) 
Type B - Shall apply when any use is somewhat different from an adjacent use or has a moderate impact on adjacent uses. See Table 3 for specific zoning uses to which this type of buffer shall apply.
(3) 
Type C - Shall apply when any use is clearly different from an adjacent use or has a definite impact on adjacent uses. See Table 3 for specific zoning uses to which this type of buffer shall apply.
(4) 
Type D - Shall apply when any use is incompatible from an adjacent use or has a large impact on adjacent uses. See Table 3 for specific zoning uses to which this type of buffer shall apply.
(5) 
Type E - Shall apply when any use is incompatible from or has a severe impact on adjacent uses. See Table 3 for specific zoning uses to which this type of buffer shall apply.

Note: The minimum width may be reduced by 25% if a solid wall or fence, at least six feet in height, is constructed, a 50% width reduction may be granted with the installation of a brick or masonry wall or a berm with a minimum height of four feet. Maximum Requirement - The bufferyard should not result in using more than 35% of the available lot and may be reduced accordingly by the Planning Official.
C. 
When Table 3 lists two buffer types under existing adjacent land uses, the required buffer type shall be determined by intensity of impact on the adjacent land use. If the adjacent land is zoned for allowing a different use, but is currently undeveloped, the least restrictive buffer shall apply.

§ 300-73 Open space requirements.

[Amended 10-14-2025 by Ord. No. 2025-10]
A. 
Purpose, intent.
(1) 
Improving the quality of all development activities, whether residential or nonresidential, contributes to the general welfare, prosperity, and pride of the Town of Pine Ridge; and if the preservation of open space is involved there is the opportunity to mitigate potential environmental damage and promote a healthier and more livable community.
(2) 
The following open space requirements are established in order to preserve and enhance existing vistas; improve appearance; offset the environmental impact of large expanses of impervious surfaces; improve ground water recharge; and promote adequate light, air, and open space for the residents of and visitors to the Town of Pine Ridge.
(3) 
It is the intent of this Part 7 to encourage creativity in layout design by being as flexible as possible in the application of open space standards.
B. 
Residential subdivisions. The purpose of this section is to provide guidelines for the establishment of suitable and usable open space within all proposed residential subdivisions with lot sizes less than two acres or which have at least 10 lots.
(1) 
Quantity of open space. At least 10% of the total gross land area of the subdivision shall be designated as open space. The following shall be counted toward this minimum open space requirement, provided they are actually set aside on property separate from the subdivision parcels:
(a) 
Natural features (riparian areas, wetlands, natural ponds, streams, wildlife corridors, steep slopes, etc.), natural hazard areas (floodplains, floodways, etc.), stormwater features (drainage channels, ditches, ponds, etc.), and land area occupied by low impact development (LID) stormwater management devices;
(b) 
Land occupied by active and passive recreational uses such as pools, playgrounds, tennis courts, jogging trails, ball fields, and clubhouses used primarily for recreation purposes. However, this category of open space can only encompass up to 50% of the required open space.
(2) 
Location.
(a) 
Where relevant and appropriate, open space shall be located so as to be readily accessible and usable by the residents. If possible, a portion of the open space should pride a focal point(s) for the subdivision, preferably at the entrance.
(3) 
Configuration.
(a) 
The open space shall use contiguous and compact design elements where possible. These spaces, where applicable, should be interconnected with trail systems, buffer areas, scenic corridors, natural features, or as a portion of the stormwater management system. Where open areas, trails, parks, or other public spaces are planned or exist adjacent to or within the subdivision, the open space shall, to the maximum extent practicable, be located to adjoin, extend, and enlarge the existing area.
(b) 
To the maximum extent practicable, the open space should be located and organized to include, protect, and/or enhance as many of the following open areas and features as possible:
[1] 
Natural features (riparian areas, wetlands, natural ponds, streams, wildlife corridors, steep slopes, etc.), natural hazard areas (floodplains, floodways, etc.), stormwater features (drainage channels, ditches, ponds, etc.), and land area occupied by low impact development (LID) stormwater management devices;
[2] 
Areas containing groupings of mature trees, groupings of younger trees with the potential to develop into a forest ecosystem, and trophy trees as defined within this chapter;
[3] 
Landscaped buffers or visual transitions between different types or intensities of uses; and
[4] 
Habitat and corridors for wildlife species.
(4) 
Access. Open space shall either front on the road right-of-way within the subdivision or shall have a minimum twenty-foot dedicated right-of-way between lots or along property lines to the open space. This access area shall be counted toward this minimum open space requirement. Motorized vehicles such as motorcycles or all-terrain vehicles shall not be allowed access to the designated open space.
C. 
Golf courses. The purpose of this section is to provide guidelines for the establishment of suitable and usable open space within the layout of golf courses, to be utilized only in the event the golf course is abandoned as an activity at some point in time.
(1) 
Quantity of open space. A buffer strip of open space at least 100 feet wide shall be established in each of the required locations.
(2) 
Location. The open space shall be required to be established where residential uses are a part of the development that contains the golf course and where those uses adjoin the fairways that are part of the golf course portion of the development. The designated buffer strip shall extend along the entire length of the residential property line that adjoins the fairways. This shall include all residential lots regardless of whether the lot contains a house. Where there is a larger tract of land containing a house adjoining the fairways of the golf course, the following shall apply. The residential activity (generally the building footprint) that is more than 300 feet from this property line does not qualify for this open space amenity, and a residential activity that is within 300 feet of, but more than 150 feet from, the golf course qualifies for an open space buffer of 50 feet.
(3) 
Access. This open space shall either front on a road right-of-way or shall have a minimum twenty-foot dedicated right-of-way which extends to a road. Motorized vehicles other than golf carts, such as motorcycles or all-terrain vehicles, shall not be allowed access to this designated open space.
(4) 
Use of open space. This open space is being required as a buffer area and shall be used for no activities more intense than passive recreation. If there is golf course property not included in this open space requirement which is accessible only through the buffer area, then a single access point will be allowed as long as that access follows the shortest route possible and comes no closer than 50 feet to any existing residential property lines.
D. 
Ownership of open space. Ownership of required open space may be handled in many ways. It may be allowed to be dedicated to the Town of Pine Ridge if it is an integral part of the storm drainage and water quality protection system. It may also be made part of lands owned and managed by a property owners association or dedicated to some other public agency such as a county recreation commission. The use of conservation easements is encouraged and may also allow additional ownership options.

§ 300-74 Enforcement of landscape requirements.

All required landscaping materials shall be in place prior to the time of issuance of a final certificate of occupancy. In periods of adverse weather conditions, a temporary certificate of occupancy may be issued, subject to the posting of a cash escrow or irrevocable letter of credit in an amount equal to 1 1/2 times the estimated cost of the landscaping, with said estimated cost to be certified by a registered landscape architect. A contract letter or bill of sale from a landscape company or nursery for the required landscape materials would be accepted in lieu of a cash escrow or irrevocable letter of credit. The cash escrow or irrevocable letter of credit may be forfeited if the landscaping is not completed within eight months after the issuance of the temporary certificate of occupancy. Forfeiture of any cash escrow or irrevocable letter of credit shall not relieve the owner of the responsibility to complete the required landscaping.

§ 300-75 Definitions.

As used in this Part 7, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
CALIPER
In the case of trees, the distance around the trunk measured at DBH (diameter at breast height) 4.5 feet above ground level.
LOADING AREA
Any unenclosed area used for loading or unloading vehicles.
SHRUB
Any hard-wooded perennial plant of a species which normally reaches a height between 12 inches and eight feet, and which is between 80% and 100% opaque at maturity.
TREE, CANOPY
Any tree of a species which normally reaches a height of 30 feet or more and a crown spread of 20 feet or more at maturity.
TREE, TROPHY
The following species of trees: canopy trees, except sweet-gum and yellow poplar measuring >24 inches DBH, understory trees measuring >12 inches DBH.
TREE, UNDERSTORY
