Document Summary
A landscaped area usually at the side or rear of development sites that are provided to separate and partially obstruct the view of adjacent land uses or properties. Green parking lot design principles consist of a series of techniques that make urban parking lots more earth friendly and capable of doing environmental work. Green parking lot design is healthy, low in environmental impacts, and low in energy consumptive practices. They are more sustainable and rely upon the use of natural systems for cleaning heavy metals, oils, and sediments from run off waters. An area identified on an approved site plan containing native vegetation, natural features or unique habitat which will remain undisturbed when the property is fully developed. Micro-detention area: an planted site area designed by hydrological calculations for the temporary storage of a determined quantity of water with a release rate that is either fixed or variable.
