SDS 4.12.1 Intent.

Site entryway landscaping highlights entries into the development.

Standard:

SDS 4.12.2 UDO Reference.

Site entryway landscaping shall conform to UDO Section 18.420.060 Yard Exceptions.

SDS 4.12.3 Species.

Development entryways that are landscaped or contain development monuments or signage shall be planted with ornamental plant material, such as ornamental trees, flowering shrubs, perennials, and ground covers.

SDS 4.12.4 Configuration.

Plantings shall be massed and scaled as appropriate for the entryway size and space. Landscaping at street intersections and driveway corners shall “pull back” to open view lines into the site and to create corner features.

Configuration

Plantings that pull back from the intersection provide adequate view lines for vehicles and pedestrians.
