e. Dimensions . Parkways shall be constructed at the same width as the Amenity Zones illustrated in Figure ECSP-4 , minus the 6-inch width required for the curb.
11 Exhibit 2
(6) 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.
(7) 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. f. 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.
(8) 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.
(9) The finished surface of access ways shall be in plane with both the adjoining top of curb and sidewalk.
(10) Access ways shall be constructed of pavers, concrete, or stabilized decomposed granite.
g. Planted Area. A minimum of 80 percent of the total required parkway area for a given project shall be comprised of plant material.
(11) Permitted materials include groundcovers, turf or turf substitutes, and shrubs or low perennials that are lower than 24 inches in height at full maturity.
( 12) 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.
(13) Plants with spines or thorns shall not be planted adjacent to any walkways or curbs.
(14) Edible plants are not permitted in parkways.
12 Exhibit 2

Parkway improvements involving excavation within an existing tree's root zone must be consistent with the City's Tree Protection Guidelines. Root pruning, if required and approved by Public Works, must be overseen by a Certified Arborist. Excavation within a tree's root zone must be replanted immediately to prevent the tree roots from exposure and undue harm.
h. Non-planted Area. A maximum of 20 percent of the parkway area may be organic or inorganic cover.
(17) Permitted materials include permeable pavers, decomposed granite, gravel, rocks, or mulch. Pavers are not allowed within 3 feet of any public streetlight pole or pull box or other utility facilities. i. Stormwater Management. Parkways shall either meet the following basic stormwater standards, or propose a biofiltration planter or swale design based on local conditions per the approval of the Director of Public Works. (18) The parkway shall be at the same grade as the adjacent hardscape surface at the outer edge of the parkway and slope at a minimum of 1 percent towards the center of the parkway. (19) For parkways with a width greater than 5 feet, the center 2 feet of the parkway shall be depressed 3 to 4 inches to form a shallow swale to collect sidewalk stormwater. Alternative means of storing runoff, such as gravel sumps within the parkway, may be provided with review authority approval.
j. Irrigation. Irrigation systems in parkways shall be designed and constructed in a manner that will eliminate surface runoff onto any impermeable surface, public or private, under any condition.
(20) Design of irrigation systems in parkways shall be in accordance with all local, state, and federal laws and regulations for water conservation.
13 Exhibit 2
(21) Street tree roots shall not be damaged during the irrigation installation process.
k. Maintenance. Abutting property owner shall maintain the parkway in a condition so as not to endanger persons or property, and not to interfere with the public convenience.
6. Street Trees
I. Species. Street tree species shall be selected according to the Master Street Tree Plan at the discretion of the Director of Public Works. Trees may be planted within parkways or tree wells. For guidance on street trees refer to Appendix A.2 of the East Colorado Specific Plan 2022 document. m. Spacing. Street trees shall be planted at a spacing of one per 30 feet.
Exceptions can be made by the Director of Public Works due to conflicts with street lights, bus shelters, utility boxes, or other street amenities. Closer spacing is encouraged when feasible and when appropriate for the particular tree type.
n. Well Dimension. Tree well width shall be equivalent to the required Amenity Zone, minus the 6-inch width required for the curb.
(22) If a paved buffer zone is required due to adjacent street parking, the tree well width may be reduced to accommodate this buffer strip. The minimum length of a tree well shall be 6 feet.
(23) Street trees planted within tree wells must be installed according to the Department of Public Works Tree Planting in Tree Well Standard Plan.
o. Well Frames. Tree well frames, or tree grates, may be installed according to the Department of Public Works Tree Well Frame Installation Standard. p. Expanded Root Zone Cell. Each street tree shall be provided with an uncompacted root zone volume of 800 cubic feet minimum. The root zone volume depth shall be 2 feet minimum and 3 feet maximum. (24) Where this root zone volume cannot be provided within the parkway area, an expanded root zone cell volume shall be provided 14 Exhibit 2
below adjacent pavement using a strategy such as structural soil or a suspended pavement system to provide an uncompacted soil area suitable for tree root growth.
(25) The root zone volume per tree requirement may be reduced by 10 percent where two or more trees share a contiguous root zone cell. q. Maintenance. All street trees shall be maintained by the Department of Public Works.
