CHAPTER 7 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES AT SECTION 7-6
(d)(3) RELATING TO PARKING LOTS, SO AS TO INCREASE
THE MINIMUM GROSS PARKING AREA TO BE DEVOTED
TO LIVING LANDSCAPING TO FIFTEEN PERCENT ( 15%) ;
PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR CODI-

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF
TEQUESTA, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Chapter 7 of the Code of Ordinances of the.
Village relating to the Community Appearance Board and minimum
landscape requirements for parking lots is hereby amended at
Section 7-6 (d)(3 ) to read as follows:
" (3) The atmosphere within the parking lot is to be park-
like rather than the harsh hardstand of paving. Fifteen
percent ( 15%) minimum of the gross parking area is to be
devoted to living landscaping, which includes grass, ground
cover, plants, shrubs and trees. Trees are of primary
importance in the landscape. They are not to be minimized in
height nor in quantity. The tree imparts, especially in a
relatively flat area, a sense of three dimensional space, it
casts shadows that reduce the monotony of the expanse of
paving and creates a refuge from the tropical sun. Signs
designating entrances, exits, regulations, etc. , are to be of
a tasteful design and subject to review by the Board. The
pavement is to be more than wall-to-wall asphalt. It is
recommended that pavement be varied in texture or color
designating lanes for automobile traffic, pedestrian walks and
parking spaces. Bright colored pavement is to be used only
with restraint. In order to create a pleasant atmosphere, it
is recommended that consideration also be given to sculpture,
fountains, gardens, pools and benches. Design emphasis is to
be given to the entrances and exits to the lot. Trash, refuse
and unaesthetic storage and mechanical equipment must be
screened from the parking lot. "
Section 2. If any provision of this Ordinance, or the
application thereof, is held invalid, such invalidity shall
not affect the other provisions or applications of this
Ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid
provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of
this Ordinance are hereby declared severable.
Section 3. This Ordinance shall be codified and made a part
of the Official Code of Ordinances of the Village of Tequesta.
Section 4. This Ordinance shall take effect immediately
upon its passage and approval, as provided by law.
