This ordinance mandates the inclusion of landscaped green corners at arterial street intersections in newly platted residential subdivisions. Each green corner must be at least 5,000 square feet and incorporate a mix of overstory and understory trees, shrubs, and flowers while maintaining a 40% clear area for visibility. Neighborhood identification signs are permitted but must follow strict design guidelines. Alternative designs may be considered for grade-separated intersections with public works approval.
