LANDSCAPE STANDARDS FOR SPECIAL BOULEVARDS, SECONDARY AND COLLECTOR STREETS
Special Boulevards
The General Plan indicates that increased landscaped parkways should be
used to provide a distinct identity for Special Boulevards. In addition
to increased landscaping, design elements such as meandering sidewalks,
mounded landscaping, pedestrian plazas, low profile walls and fences,
natural rock, and textured sidewalks and crosswalks, can be used to denote
Special Boulevards. A variety of designs and building placements are en-
couraged so that parking areas are not always located along the street
frontage.
All arterials designated for Special Boulevard treatment in the circulation
plan of the General Plan shall observe the following requirements, unless
otherwise indicated in the text of the General Plan:
A landscaped area along the Special Boulevard frontage
shall be provided at an average depth equal to 20% of
the depth of the property, as measured from the face of
the ultimate curb location. This landscaped area need
not exceed 45' in depth; however, in no case shall there
be less than 25' of landscaping as measured from the face
of curb;
Major broad leafed columnar evergreen trees on both sides
of the pavement area within the right-of-way;
Meandering pedestrian paths (4' minimum width) on both
sides of the pavement area;
Mounding and use of hedges to obstruct views to parking
lots and to create a distinct difference between the
roadway and the development.
Secondary and Collector Streets
The remaining streets indicated on the General Plan are Secondary or Collector
Streets, and shall observe the following requirements:
A landscaped area along the street frontage at an average
minimum depth of 35' from the face of curb and in no case,
less than 20' from the face of curb (Exhibit "A");
Columnar to roundheaded, fan shaped deciduou~ or evergreen
trees on both sides of the pavement area within the fight-
of-way.
