      TABLE 2

      MINIMUM STREET LANDSCAPE BUFFER AREA REQUIREMENTS

 

 

   Note:

       1.    Buildings with live-work commercial units in a mixed use development that abut local or collector roads have unique landscape buffer setback requirements (see subsection M6 of this section).

      4.   Setback Measurements: Building setbacks are measured from the foundation to the back of curb. Open structures such as porches, canopies, outdoor seating areas, covered patios and similar architectural projections shall be considered part of the building to which it is attached. All street landscape buffers shall be measured from the back of curb. A minimum five foot (5') wide landscaped park strip is required between the top back of curb and the sidewalk.

      5.   Other Buffer Area Requirements:

         a.   Water features, utilizing the creative use of existing groundwater, are encouraged.

         b.   Consistent width of landscape buffers is highly recommended, but the developer may achieve this by averaging the minimum required width.

         c.   No fences over three feet (3') are permitted within the street buffer areas.

         d.   The landscape buffer may not include any paved surfaces with the exception of a pedestrian sidewalk.

         e.   Xeriscape is encouraged, to achieve more water wise landscape designs. This type of design is to be submitted to the city by a licensed landscape architect, and must obtain approval from the design review board.

         f.   The required landscaped buffer width may be reduced no more than five feet (5'), by the city council, if the developer has provided enhancements and exceeded the city's standard requirements for architecture, amenities, and landscaping for the overall project area.

         g.   Landscape buffering area may be interrupted with a gate/pedestrian accessway to an adjacent site.

         h.   A landscaped buffer area may be used for some forms of passive recreation; it may contain pedestrian, bike or equestrian trails; provided, that:

            (1)   No plant material is eliminated.

            (2)   The total width of the buffer is maintained.

            (3)   All other regulations of this code are met.

            (4)   In no event, however shall the following uses be allowed in buffers: play fields, stables, swimming pools, tennis courts or similar active recreation uses.

      6.   Landscape Buffer Exceptions:

         a.   A landscape buffer may be reduced to ten feet (10') only if the following requirements are met:

            (1)   The buffer must be directly in front of buildings that are live-work commercial units which are part of a mixed use development.

            (2)   The buildings must abut local or collector streets.

            (3)   Vehicle parking designed to service the commercial aspect of the live-work units shall be the only use permitted between the reduced landscape buffer and the live-work units.

         b.   Single-family residential lots are exempt from required buffers, but must still comply with building setback requirements. (Ord. 2015-12, 3-31-2015)

   N.   Side And Rear Yard Landscaping Buffers:

      1.   Purpose: Without creating barriers, the purpose of landscaping is to physically separate and visually screen adjacent land uses that are not fully compatible. The grove district encourages a mix of land uses and does not rely on a traditional land use map with strict separation of land uses. The standards established below strive to allow maximum flexibility of screening and landscaping techniques while providing an appropriate buffer between dissimilar land uses.

      2.   Applicability: Side and rear yard landscaping buffers shall be required at all subdivision boundaries (i.e., commercial, industrial, office and residential, and all commercial, industrial and office developments). All subdivision buffers must be on a common lot, maintained by a business owners' or homeowners' association, as applicable. The design review board, planning commission or city council may waive the requirement for a rear yard landscape buffer on nonresidential projects, if appropriate.

      3.   Standards: To determine the size of the buffer or transitional yard, two (2) variables are considered: a) the nature of the adjacent land uses; and b) the type of buffering. The hierarchy of landscaping buffers is created to correspond to the degree of incompatibility. An "incompatible land use" is defined as one that is more intensely developed than its neighbors.

      4.   Land Use Intensity Classifications: There shall be no setback requirement between properties with the same land use. The recommended landscape buffer between residential and commercial uses will generally be twenty feet (20') or more, but if an appropriate fence is approved, the minimum landscape buffer is five feet (5') on each side of the property line. The landscape buffer must be located on the property and may not include any paved surfaces with the exception of pedestrian sidewalks or pathways that cover less than twenty percent (20%) of the required landscape buffer width. The design review board, planning commission or city council may approve more or less buffer.

   O.   Circulation Roads: Internal circulation roads providing access to more than one property shall be landscaped with street trees and streetside planters. A minimum ten foot (10') width shall be landscaped adjoining the right of way of any such street or road. The streetscape planting shall be consistent throughout the development to provide a unifying landscaping theme. Details for these areas shall be submitted with the overall landscape plan at the time of preliminary plan approval.

   P.   Clear Sight Triangle: Clear sight triangle shall be observed in regard to all vegetation near streets and drives. No evergreen trees shall be planted within any sight triangle. The maximum height of any berms, fences, signs or vegetative ground cover at maturity within the sight triangle is three feet (3').

   Q.   Berms: Berms are required within the landscape areas where the width is sufficient for development.

   R.   Stormwater Retention: With written permission of the city engineer and full compliance with standards of the grove zoning district, a required buffer may include a stormwater retention/detention area.

   S.   Trash Enclosures: Five foot (5') landscaping strips are required around all trash enclosures except the gate side.

   T.   Monument Signs: Five foot (5') landscaping strips shall be provided at the base of all monument signs.

   U.   Buffer Walls:

      1.   Where existing or proposed adjacent land uses cannot be adequately buffered with plant materials, the city may require inclusion of a wall, fence or other type of screen that mitigates noise and/or unsightly uses.

      2.   Expanses of walls or solid fences that are greater than one hundred feet (100') shall be interrupted with offsets, landscaping and/or provided with material accents to prevent monotony.

   V.   Installation And Maintenance: Installation of required landscaping shall be the responsibility of the property owner.

      1.   All plant materials shall be planted according to industry standards, using acceptable topsoil and automatically controlled permanent irrigation systems.

      2.   All proposed plant material shall be in accord with the American Association Of Nurserymen standards in terms of size, character and quality.

      3.   All plant materials required within a landscaped area shall be planted to completion prior to the city's issuance of a certificate of occupancy.

      4.   The community development director may authorize a delay in the completion of planting during the months of October, November, December, January, February and March due to weather conditions, if a cash bond for one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the cost of installation is provided to the city.

      5.   Maintenance and replacement of required landscaping and screening shall be the responsibility of the property owner.

      6.   All plant materials shall be pruned, trimmed, watered and otherwise maintained to create an attractive appearance and a healthy growing condition. No trees shall be severely pruned or topped.

      7.   Dead, diseased, stolen or vandalized plant materials shall be replaced by the next planting season.

      8.   Property owners shall keep landscaped areas free of weeds and trash.

   W.   Alternative Methods Of Compliance: It is not the intent of these landscape requirements to inhibit creative solutions to land use challenges. Under certain site conditions, a strict implementation of requirements may be either physically impossible or impractical. Alternative compliance is a procedure that allows certain modifications to existing regulations within this section, which may be approved by the planning commission with the recommendation of the design review board. (Ord. 2013-5, 4-16-2013)

   X.   Parking Lot Landscaping: Interior parking lot landscaping shall be required for any parking lot with ten (10) or more spaces, including the following standards:

      1.   Landscaped parking islands are to be as evenly spaced as feasible throughout the lot with a maximum spacing of one parking island per every ten (10) parking spaces with a shade tree, and other landscape materials as defined in this chapter.

      2.   Landscape planters are to be fully landscaped, and shall contain a minimum of fifty (50) square feet, and the planting area shall not be less than five feet (5') wide in any dimension, measured inside the curbs. The only exception to the five foot (5') minimum dimension is at the tip of triangular planters located at the end of rows of angled parking.

      3.   No parking space shall be more than sixty feet (60') from an interior landscaped area.

      4.   Deciduous shade trees, evergreen trees, ground cover and low shrubs are recommended as primary plantings in interior landscaped areas. Deciduous trees are to be clear branched to a height of six feet (6').

      5.   Landscaping for large commercial parking lots with over three hundred (300) parking spaces may be planned according to the following standards:

         a.   Curbed planters with two inch (2") or larger caliper shade trees, and grass, shrubs, or ground cover shall be installed at the ends of parking rows. The landscaped planters are to be a minimum five feet (5') wide.

         b.   Minimum two inch (2") caliper shade trees shall be planted in four foot (4') wide curbed diamonds between double parking rows at minimum intervals of six (6) stalls, and along single parking rows at minimum intervals of three (3) stalls, at a distance of no more than six feet (6') from the parking area. Shade trees are not required along the front of single parking rows which are adjacent to buildings. (Ord. 2014-26, 7-1-2014)

   A.   Purpose: The purpose of this section is to create an attractive environment and visually screen land uses that are not fully compatible.

   B.   Standards:

      1.   Parking Lots, Service Entrances Or Loading Docks:

         a.   All service entrances or utility structures associated with a building, loading docks or spaces must be screened from the abutting property and view from a public street. Such screening shall consist of a ten foot (10') wide planting strip consisting of trees, shrubs and/or landscaping combination and require a six foot (6') wall;

         b.   Service and delivery access areas should be separated from the primary public access and must be adequately screened by architectural/landscaping treatments. Pedestrian accesses must be clearly marked.

      2.   Dumpsters, Trash Handling Or Outdoor Storage Areas:

         a.   All dumpsters, trash handling areas or outdoor storage areas shall be completely fenced or enclosed and screened from public view, at least one foot (1') higher than the dumpster. The sight obscuring screen shall be at least six feet (6'), but not greater than ten feet (10'), in height. Any such storage area shall be constructed of materials and colors compatible with those of the primary structure on site. Chainlink or cyclone fencing (with or without slats) is not allowed. Reinforced concrete aprons in front of trash storage areas are required to accommodate trash removal vehicles. Five foot (5') landscaping strips around all trash enclosures are required.

         b.   Loading areas, including, but not limited to, loading spaces, loading docks and service or maintenance areas shall be screened from public view. In addition, loading areas that abut a residential district shall reduce noise associated with such use by providing a sound wall and/or berm with screen plantings around the loading areas or at the property line abutting the residential district.

         c.   No articles, goods, materials, trash, animals, equipment or inoperable vehicles shall be stored or kept in the open or exposed to view from the street, sidewalks and adjacent sites. This limitation does not apply to the temporary storage of materials, equipment and supplies needed for the construction of improvements on a site, provided such items are completely removed immediately upon completion of each phase of construction.

      3.   Mechanical And Electrical Equipment: All mechanical and electrical equipment necessary for the development of an individual site or building shall be selected and located in a manner consistent with the architecture of the project. Parapet walls, enclosing walls, louvers and grills are equal to the horizontal height of all equipment on site or on the roofs of buildings. Exceptions may be made for equipment that, by nature of simple geometric shape, blends well with the architecture of the project. Satellite dishes and other communication equipment must be integrated with the architecture or screened in an acceptable manner.

      4.   Utilities: All utilities, including all electric power, telephone, gas, water, storm and sanitary sewers shall be located underground. Utilities shall be coordinated with landscape plans to ensure proper screening and landscaping around utility vaults, box transformers, etc. (Ord. 2013-5, 4-16-2013)

   A.   Purpose: The purpose of this section is to create an interconnected network of open spaces consisting of parks for both active and passive recreational opportunities; unique natural features; off street pathways; and plazas, courtyards and arcades.

   B.   Applicability: All new development shall be evaluated for opportunities to obtain appropriate open space consistent and compatible with the proposed development and the overall objectives of the grove area plan.

   C.   Standards:

      1.   New nonresidential development shall provide a minimum of ten percent (10%) of the gross site area for open space. Open space includes parks, plazas, courtyards, arcades, pedestrian walkways, natural areas and landscaped areas.

      2.   New multi-family residential developments shall provide a minimum of thirty percent (30%) of the net developable site area for open space. At least seventy five percent (75%) of that open space must be usable, contiguous, open space, available for recreational uses not located within required buffer areas. Open space may include parks, walkways, natural areas, landscaped areas and usable wetland areas. Open space may not include leftover space between buildings, or narrow space under ten feet (10') in width that is immediately adjacent to buildings, where the space is between the building and parking areas, drive aisles or inner development roads.

      3.   Public utility and similar easements may not be counted toward meeting the open space requirement, unless such land is usable as a trail or other similar purpose and approved by the planning commission.

      4.   The creation of usable open spaces adjacent to buildings is encouraged. Adjacent property owners are encouraged to engage in joint development of public spaces.

      5.   The responsibility for the maintenance of all open spaces shall be specified by the developer before approval of a conditional use permit. (Ord. 2013-5, 4-16-2013)

   A.   Purpose: The purpose of this section is to implement an off street pathway system within the grove zoning district that provides safe, convenient, attractive on site pedestrian and bike access linking major activity centers, open spaces, parks and parking to all points of access.

   B.   Applicability: The following standards shall apply to the location and construction of all off street pathways within the grove zoning district.

   C.   Standards:

      1.   Development of parcels adjacent to or containing an off street pathway, shall integrate the pathway as a part of the site design and shall construct the pathway prior to final development approval. Construction of pathways shall be considered as open space and counted towards the ten percent (10%) open space requirement.

      2.   All off street pathways shall be a minimum of six feet (6') in width, unless otherwise designated on the Pleasant Grove City general plan trails master plan map, and shall be surfaced with an impervious surface such as brick, tile, concrete or asphalt.

   D.   Identification Of Routes; Raised Curbs: Ease of pedestrian movement and a clear identity of pedestrian routes for public use shall be provided. Raised curbs shall be tapered at all sidewalk crossing areas and at all intersections.

The standards for buildings and overall site aesthetics for developments within the grove zoning district are to be reviewed by the city and design review board (DRB), as listed herein.

   A.   Purpose: The purpose of this section is to create and maintain a high quality of buildings and structures that reinforces the grove zoning district as the entrance into the city, helping to make Pleasant Grove City a more desirable place to live, conduct business, and visit.

   B.   Applicability: The standards outlined in the following subsections shall apply to all new developments within the grove zoning district. For exterior remodels, these standards shall be applied on a case by case basis as reasonably applicable.

   C.   General Design Concepts: New development shall be designed for its specific context to provide quality construction and development in Pleasant Grove City. Developments containing two (2) or more buildings shall possess a similar design theme, and the site shall be designed such that the overall development is cohesive. Building architecture, exterior materials and colors shall coordinate.

   D.   Compatibility: All commercial developments should be appropriate in scale, mass and proportion, and be in character with the architectural theme and color palate of significant adjacent buildings.

   E.   Street Facades: The facade that faces the street is the most prominent in any commercial building. It shall be designed with large panes of clear glass on the main level oriented to the sidewalk. Opaque, heavily tinted, or reflective glass is inappropriate and shall not be used.

   F.   Side And Rear Facades: The design of a building shall be considered on all sides of the building, with each facade being required to meet the terms of this section.

   G.   Relief Variation: Commercial buildings shall be designed with architectural wall relief variations spaced at intervals of thirty (30) to fifty feet (50') in linear width, depending on the size of the project. At least four (4) or more of the following architectural features shall be incorporated into the design of the building: a change in building materials, building projections measuring at least three feet (3') in depth, roofline variations measuring at least three feet (3') in height, awnings and lighting, or another architectural variation that creates visual interest. Relief variation on single-story buildings shall comprise the full height of the building.

   H.   Vertical Separation: Buildings in excess of two (2) stories in height shall exhibit architectural detailing that establishes a vertical separation between lower and upper stories. This may be accomplished by a mid facade cornice or trim, a change in material, style or color, a facade relief or roof pitch with dormer windows, or other methods.

   I.   Building Materials: The majority of each facade (51 percent or more of the wall excluding windows and doors) shall be constructed of the following building materials: brick, stone, earth tone colored decorative block, fiber/cement siding, wood, concrete, or other durable building material as approved by the design review board and the planning commission. Exterior building materials shall be limited to no less than two (2) and no more than three (3) types of materials and colors per building. Stucco, EIFS, metal, or untreated concrete block (CMU) may be allowed by the planning commission as an accent or secondary material only. Metal clad buildings, or large sections of stucco or vinyl siding are prohibited.

   J.   Screening: Mechanical equipment shall be located or screened so as not to be visible from public and private streets. Screens shall be aesthetically incorporated into the design of the building, whether located on the ground or the roof, and may include such treatments as balustrades, parapet walls, or landscaping. Screening materials shall be compatible with those of the building.

   K.   Building Architectural Orientation: Buildings shall have their architectural orientation toward the front of the property, which includes having at least one functioning entry door oriented to the street. The "front of the property" shall be defined as the street frontage from which the building is accessed. Buildings on corner lot sites shall have an architectural orientation toward each right of way frontage with entrances or the appearance of entrances along each facade.

   L.   Sustainable Or Green Features: Developments shall include sustainable or "green" building design features, and shall indicate efforts toward meeting a minimum level of LEED certification, following the requirements established by the U.S. Green Building Council.

   M.   Site Design Standards: The following standards address the various outdoor spaces that form the commercial areas of the grove zone, including its streets, parking areas, sidewalks, plazas and other outdoor places. These spaces provide settings for the architecture, and connections to and from the various buildings. The design of these outdoor spaces shall be of equal high quality as the buildings themselves, in order to create commercial areas that are unified and consistent, and for creating a positive image. The following standards describe the general treatment of important public spaces located in the grove zone. These standards are intended to provide direction for Pleasant Grove City, UDOT, property owners, designers, and developers as improvements are made to public infrastructure and spaces.

      1.   Streets And Streetscape: Each of the streets in the grove zone contributes to the establishment of a positive place for residents and visitors alike. The width of the roadway, the number of lanes, on street parking, street trees and landscaping shape our first impressions of an area. The following standards address general road and street conditions that are desirable for commercial developments in the grove zone. Commercial streets and roads should provide a sense of entry and encourage pedestrian movement and flow.

         a.   Buildings shall have a design that is oriented to the right of way, including windows, doors and other architectural features, in order to create an atmosphere of building frontage along the street, except to allow for required setbacks, landscaped areas, courtyards, plazas, or a drive-through if the site constraints do not allow for an alternative design.

         b.   Exceptions may be made for large regional developments. Any smaller out parcels that are a part of a large regional development must be oriented to the street.

         c.   In the case a project is located adjacent to a state road or major arterial, a minimum twenty five foot (25') setback shall be required as measured from the edge of right of way. Landscaping, courtyards, and plazas are allowed within the required setback; however, a drive-through lane may not be allowed within the required setback due to site impacts from potential street widening.

      2.   Pedestrian Circulation And Street Crossings: Sidewalks and walkways shall extend from building facade to street edge, maximizing the area available for walking and pedestrian street life. Crosswalks within commercial retail and office developments shall be constructed with concrete unit pavers or similar materials, helping to distinguish these zones to motorists. Raised central median strips, bulb outs and other street embellishments should be considered on a case by case basis for enhancing the image and safety of commercial areas.

      3.   Connection To Master Planned Trails: Projects adjacent to master planned trails shall provide hard surfaced pedestrian connections from the trail into the site.

      4.   Paving And Surface Materials: Sidewalks and walkways shall be constructed of concrete, and include areas with brick, concrete unit pavers or similar materials. Color tones should be medium to dark in order to create a uniform setting for the surrounding building materials and colors.

      5.   Lighting And Furnishings: Streetlights and furnishings shall be coordinated throughout the development. Furnishings shall be limited to a select range of benches, trash receptacles, tree grates and bollards. Streetlights shall be selected from a single model line and coordinate with other streetlights. Uplighting is encouraged to accent the structures and provide additional safety.

      6.   Signage: Signs (monument or freestanding) shall be composed of the same or similar exterior materials as the buildings for which they identify.

      7.   Walls: Where a commercial development abuts an exclusively residential use, a minimum six foot (6') tall precast concrete or rock masonry wall is to be installed along the shared boundary. A two foot (2') berm may be constructed at the base of the wall to give additional screening.

   N.   Parking Lots And Alleys: Parking lots and rear alleys shall be carefully designed and developed in order to create harmonious and desirable commercial areas.

      1.   Orientation: Parking lots shall be located to the rear or between buildings wherever possible. The lots should be broken up into smaller spaces, utilizing trees to create shading and to provide a level of order and structure.

      2.   Lighting: Lighting shall be provided in all parking lots, utilizing attractive poles and fixtures in contrast to nearby streetlights. Fixtures shall be selected that are night sky friendly, having shielding or other features that limit upward lighting. See section 10-15-44 of this title for additional exterior lighting requirements.

      3.   Landscape Treatments: Where parking is located adjacent to a public road, trees and other appropriate vegetation should be used to separate and define the edges of the parking area from the sidewalk and street. All parking lots shall be well landscaped according to a detailed landscaping plan as per subsection 10-14-15X of this chapter.

      4.   Access To Adjacent Uses And Buildings: Well landscaped sidewalks and paved connections shall be provided between parking lots, nearby buildings and points of interest. Parking and landscaping areas shall be arranged for convenient pedestrian access. (Ord. 2016-14, 7-19-2016)
