(2 points) All uncovered parking and loading areas containing 10 or more spaces are to contain areas landscaped with grass, shrubs, ground cover, trees, and pedestrian paths within the parking or loading area, and adjacent to it within 10 feet, equal in area to not less than 10 percent of the total paved area used for parking spaces and driveways, and one tree of at least 2 1/2 inches caliper at the time of planting is to be provided for each 250 square feet of landscaping required or provided. Preservation of an existing tree of 5 inches or greater caliper in the parking and loading areas shall count as two newly planned trees. (3 points) All existing trees of 15 inches or greater caliper within the PDD will be preserved or replaced with trees of equal or greater caliper when mature, and 3 inches or greater caliper when planted. (2 points) All public streets within the PDD will have for each 50 linear feet of street frontage at least one shade tree of 15 inches or greater caliper when mature to be located within 15 feet of the street curb on each side of the street. (3 points) At least 75 percent of all required or provided landscaping within the PDD will be native vegetation or other plant materials recommended by the Texas Agricultural Extension Service which are well adapted to the local soils and climate so as to require minimal water use for landscape maintenance. (2 points) The development will substantially incorporate techniques for water conservation such as rainwater collection, low-flow devices, and grey-water recycling of effluent from bathtubs, fountains, laundry machines, car washes, swimming pools, etc., for re-use in washing, fire suppression, or irrigation as approved by the Health Department. (3 points) The proposed landscaping incorporates existing or new deciduous shade trees to be located such that, when mature, they will naturally provide significant solar shading of at least 50 percent of buildings within the PDD during the warm season, thereby reducing building cooling loads. (3 points) At least 75 percent of the buildings within the PDD will be oriented and designed such that any significant facade facing within 30 degr~es of south will take advantage of solar space heating techniques during the cool season, and are shaded by structural devices or vegetation during the warm season. (3 points) Solar heating or waste energy techniques will contribute significantly to the year-round domestic hot water requirements of at least 75 percent of the buildings within the PDD. (3 points) At least 50 percent of the buildings in the PDD are to be oriented and designed to maximize the opportunity for natural ventilation during mild seasons. (3 points) The appearance of all buildings, signs, fences, and accessory structures within each lot of the PDD will be coordinated with respect to scale, materials, style, and color. (2 points)
