§ 1285.11. PRE-EXISTING SITES.

In any case where a building and/or a parking area is being increased by at least twenty-five percent over the originally approved site plan, or the use is being changed to a more intense use, as determined by the Planning Commission, the site shall be brought into full compliance with the landscape standards set forth in this chapter. In instances where the increase in building and/or parking area is less than twenty-five percent over the original site plan, the extent of new landscaping shall be equal to four percent of compliance for every one percent of increase in building or parking footprint (for example, a building or parking area increase of ten percent requires a forty percent compliance with the landscape standards.

The following drawings illustrate the application of landscape standards on a typical site and several options on the treatment of greenbelt planing areas.
