Bend Landscaping Standards for Green Roofs and Rooftop Gardens

This rule establishes landscaping standards for green roofs and rooftop gardens. Green roofs and rooftop gardens can be counted toward meeting up to 100% of the landscaping requirements as established under Bend Development Code Chapter 3.2. This involves the following: (1) The minimum required landscaping must be at least five percent of the gross lot area, (2) Landscaping in the public right-of-way (for example, street trees and bioswales) may be counted toward meeting the landscaping requirement and (3) Landscaping should be planted adjacent to the curb line to create a streetscape as illustrated in Figures 2.7.3240.C and 2.7.3260.
