a. Streetscape Landscape Standards

On waterfront lots, use of native aquatic vegetation on the shoreline is encouraged.
Turf and other fertilizer dependent plantings are discouraged near shoreline.
Native species that complement the character of the district in size and scale should be used in plantings.
Landscaping should be drought resistant.
The landscape zone should be located between the pedestrian zone and the street.
Tree openings should be a minimum of 4 feet square.
Planting strips should be between 2 and 6 feet wide; size should be determined by existing sidewalk width and the preservation of an adequate pedestrian zone.
For the pedestrian zone, consider high Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) and low impact materials; refer to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) guidelines for heat island effect.
Landscaping should comply with Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) guidelines.
All landscaping should comply with Article 4.14 of the Land Development Regulations.
The Titusville Plant list is provided at the back of this Manual for your reference.
Landscaping shall meet the Open Space requirements in the Land Development Regulations.

Vegetated Swales

Vegetated swales shall be used to treat and infiltrate stormwater runoff. The swales shall be planted with native grasses and ground cover suitable for retention and cleansing of stormwater.

Where space allows, large native deciduous trees should be thoughtfully placed to shade buildings passively in the summer and allow maximum light in the cooler months.
