scaled landscape plan indicating plant symbols at a mature spread, proposed plant
materials to be installed, plant material sizes, proposed planting areas, and method
of irrigation. Landscape plan should include but may not be limited to the following.
• The property is located in the City's designated mature area. A twenty-five (25%)
percent reduction of the buffer and perimeter planning bed widths is acceptable.
Requirements for landscaping in land use buffers shall be the same as perimeter
landscaping at the rate of one (1) tree and three (3) shrubs for every thirty (30)
linear feet.
• Screening requirements will need to be met for any vehicular use areas adjacent to
the street right of way or any adjacent properties of a more restrictive use. Provide
screening shrubs with an average linear spacing of not less than three (3) feet on
center and trees with an average linear spacing of thirty (30) feet on center within
the required landscape area.
■ A perimeter planting strip is required along any side of a vehicular use area that
abuts adjoining property, or the right-of-way of any street. The minimum
dimension shall be one-half ('/2) the full width requirement but in no case less than
six (6) feet nine (9) inches in designated mature areas. One (1) tree and three (3)
shrubs or vines shall be planted for every thirty (30) linear feet of perimeter
planting strip.
■ Interior landscape areas shall comprise at least eight (8) percent of any vehicular
use area containing twelve (12) or more parking spaces. Trees shall be included in
the interior landscape areas at the rate of one (1) tree for every twelve (12)
parking spaces.
• For any site, trees from two (2) different genuses are required. At least twenty-

purposes are to be of evergreen variety.
• For any site, shrubs from two (2) different genuses are required. At least twenty-
five (25) percent of the shrubs on the site outside of those required for screening
purposes are to be of evergreen variety.
+ Provide plant material schedule / legend and size specifications of proposed
material. In order to receive credit trees must be two (2) inches in caliper and
shrubs must be eighteen (18) inches in height at installation.
s An irrigation system shall be required for developments of one (1) acre or larger.
For developments of less than one (1) acre a there shall be a water source within
seventy-five (75) feet of all plant material if an automatic irrigation system is not
provided. Provide note on the landscape plan stating, the method of irrigation to
be used or graphically indicate the location of the proposed hose bibs.
4. All landscape areas shall be protected as per City of Little Rock Landscape Ordinance
(Sec. 15-100). Mulch, edging, wheel stops, and/or concrete curb and gutter will be
required.
Any new ground or roof mounted mechanical systems shall be screened from abutting

primary street side of the property and screened from the public right-of-way. Screen
shall exceed the height of the dumpster or trash containment areas by at least two (2)
feet not to exceed eight (8) feet total height.
6. The City Beautiful Commission recommends preserving as many existing trees as
feasible on this site. Credit toward fulfilling Landscape Ordinance requirements can be
given when preserving trees of six (6) inch caliper or larger.

tree and three (3) shrubs for every thirty (30) linear feet.
Note on the plan the height and limits of the opaque fence adjacent to the R-4
properties to the west. Chain link is not permissible to meet any portion of this
requirement.
2. An irrigation system shall be required for developments of one (1) acre or larger. For
developments of less than one (1) acre a there shall be a water source within seventy-
