Exhibit "A"
§172.01 OFF-STREET PARKING LOT DESIGN REQUIREMENTS.
F. Parking Lot Landscaping Requirements.
1 . Submittal Requirements: A landscaping plan shall be submitted for all parking
lots containing five (5) or more spaces. The Landscape plan shall indicate the species of all plants,
size of each species at the time of planting, spacing requirements for each plant, and the type of
edging and mulch to be used for the planting beds. The planting plan may be incorporated with the
site or grading plan.
2. General Requirements:
a. Separation of Landscaped Areas and Vehicles. All landscaped areas
shall be protected from potential damage by vehicles by placing concrete curbs or wheel barriers
adjacent to the landscaped area except as provided in §F.2.b.
b. Vehicle Overhang. Except when exercising Option 3., 17.3.a.(3)., a portion
of a standard parking space may be landscaped instead of paved to meet part of the landscaping
requirement. The landscaped area may be up to two feet of the front of the space as measured from
a line parallel to the direction of the bumper of the vehicle using the space. Landscaping may only
be ground cover plants in the overhang area.
c. Maintenance. The current owner of the property shall be responsible for
the maintenance of all required landscaping.
(1). Irrigation System. Some method of irrigation shall be required
in landscaped areas. An automated irrigation system is encouraged to ensure adequate moisture to
plant material. In landscaped areas without an automated irrigation system the installation of hose
bibs (water spigots), installed one for every 100 foot radius, will be required.
(2). Planting Beds. All landscaping shall be planted within areas
designated as planting beds, this includes tree lawns, tree islands, and tree pits. Planting beds shall
have amended soil to ensure the health of the plant material. All sod shall be removed within the
planting bed and mulch shall cover the bare soil to ease maintenance. Sod will be allowed in tree
lawns and tree islands if no other plant material is included within these areas.
(3). Replacement Landscaping. Landscaping that dies or is
damaged shall be removed and replaced by the current owner of the property. The owner shall have
60 days from the receipt of written notice issued by the City of Fayetteville to remove and replace
any required landscaping that dies or is damaged.
d. Timing of Installation. Landscaping shall be provided prior to the
issuance of a final certificate of occupancy. A 90-day temporary certificate of occupancy may be
issued once the owner deposits, with the City, U.S. currency or an irrevocable letter of credit in an
amount equal to 150% of the estimated cost of the uninstalled plant material. The letter of credit
must be from a bank or banking institution doing business within the State of Arkansas which is a
member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
ORD . 4127
I Size and type of plant material. All plant material shall meet the
requirements established by the American Standard for Nursery Stock. Trees shall have a minimum
2 inch caliper at the time of installation. Shrubs are to reach an average height of T within two years
of installation. Plant species installed in vehicular use areas are to be approved by the Landscape
Administrator. Suggested species of trees are available within the City of Fayetteville Landscape
Manual.
Requirements for landscaping between the Right-of-Way and parking areas
are intended to lessen the effect of extensive paving. A minimum 50% of shrubs selected shall be
evergreen .
Caliper. A measurement of general tree size taken at a point located six inches
above natural ground or root ball surface.
3. Interior Landscaping Requirements.
a. Amount of Landscaping. Parking lots containing ten or more vehicles
shall be landscaped utilizing one of the following options:
(1). Option 1. Narrow Tree Lawn - a continuous strip between rows
of parking. The minimum width of a tree lawn is 8'; however, if large tree species are used the
minimum width is 10'. One tree shall be planted for every 12 parking spaces with this option. If

*Minimum width of all islands is measured from the actual planting area,(back of curb to
back of curb)
b. Calculation of area. Required perimeter landscaping may not be
substituted for interior landscaping. However, it is recognized that interior landscaping may join
perimeter landscaping. In such cases, landscaping which extends four feet or more into the parking
area may be included in the calculation of interior landscaped area.
c. Exceptions. All parking lots used solely for the purpose of providing
areas for the display and storage of motor vehicles for sale, lease, and rental shall be exempt from
the interior landscaping requirements.
4. Perimeter Landscaping Requirements. Parking lots containing five (5) or more
spaces shall be landscaped meeting the following requirements:
a. Side and Rear Property Lines. All parking lots shall have five feet of
landscaped area between the property line and parking lot. The two-foot vehicle overhang option

screening may be required under § 166. 10, Buffer Strips and Screening.
b. Property Lines Adjoining Street Right-of-Way.
(1). Residential Zones. Except for permitted entrance drives, every
parking lot shall be landscaped for an equal and uniform width of 15 feet parallel to the front
