Fort Collins Landscaping Policy for the I-25 Corridor

The Fort Collins landscaping policy for the I-25 corridor establishes requirements for development along the I-25 right-of-way, mandating an 80-foot buffer with specific planting densities. It limits berm heights to preserve long-range views for motorists, except when used to screen parking and service areas, in which case additional planting requirements apply for lower berms. The policy also permits the use of screen walls as supplementary screening elements within the buffer zone.
