1. Parkways
a. Required Parkways. Projects shall include parkways within the Amenity Zone as follows.
(1) In LA-RM-16, parkway length shall be no less than 60 percent of street frontage, unless approved by the Director of Public Works. (2) In all other zoning districts, parkway length shall be no less than 30 percent of street frontage, unless approved by the Director of Public Works.
11 Exhibit 2
b. Dimensions. Parkways shall be constructed at the same width as the Amenity Zones illustrated in Figure LASP-4, minus the 6-inch width required for the curb.
( 1) When street parking is adjacent to the curb, a paved buffer with a minimum width of 18 inches is required, in addition to the 6-inch curb, except where tree grates are adjacent to the curb.
(2) Barriers up to 24 inches high, such as low walls or fences, are permitted at the interior edge of the parkway but are not required. c. Access Ways. Where on-street parking is permitted, access ways shall be provided at a minimum frequency of one per every 20 feet of continuous parkway.
(1) Access ways shall be a minimum of 4 feet in width and provide a firm, uniform walking surface in all weather conditions from the curb to the Walk Zone.
(2) The finished surface of access ways shall be in plane with both the adjoining top of curb and sidewalk.
(3) Access ways shall be constructed of pavers, concrete, or stabilized decomposed granite.
d. Planted Area. A minimum of 80 percent of the total required parkway area for a given project shall be comprised of plant material.
(1) Permitted materials include groundcovers, turf or turf substitutes, and shrubs or low perennials that are lower than 24 inches in height at full maturity.
(2) All plant material shall be native or climate appropriate and have a water use rating of Moderate, Low or Very-Low as defined by Water Use Classification of Landscape Species (WUCOLS) for the region. Plant water use requirements may be relaxed to maximize the efficiency of parkway stormwater capture systems per approval by the Director of Public Works.
12 (3) Plants with spines or thorns shall not be planted adjacent to any walkways or curbs.
(4) Edible plants are not permitted in parkways.
(5) Artificial turf is not permitted in parkways.

17.37.070 - Scale Standards
These standards are intended to:
• Implement the General Plan density (du/ac) and floor area ratio (FAR) values; • Shape development in a manner that creates a defined public realm and appropriate scale of buildings for a visually appealing community;
• Reduce building massing through setback and stepback requirements that create appropriate transitions to residential neighborhoods;
• Support high-quality architecture and urban design through modulation requirements and variation in fac;ade length; and
• Require appropriate transitions to designated historic resources. 17 Exhibit 2
A. Density
1. Residential Density. Projects that include residential dwelling units shall not exceed the allowable dwelling units per acre (du/ac) per Figure LASP-5. a. Fractions shall be rounded to the nearest whole number; those at 0.50 shall be rounded up.
b. For projects utilizing state density bonus, refer to Government Code 65915. c. The maximum is based on total site area. If a street dedication or easement is required, density shall be calculated using the size of the lot prior to the street dedication or easement.
B. Intensity
1. Floor Area Ratio. Projects that include non- residential space, including mixed use, shall not exceed the allowable floor area ratio (FAR) per Figure LASP-6. a. In mixed-use projects, residential floor area is included in FAR. b. Areas used exclusively for vehicle and bicycle parking and loading are excluded from FAR.
c. The maximum is based on total site area. If a street dedication or easement is required, FAR shall be calculated using the size of the lot prior to the street dedication or easement.
