Omaha Green Parking Area Design and Landscaping Requirements

This ordinance establishes green parking area standards to enhance shade, aesthetics, and environmental sustainability without reducing parking efficiency. It requires at least 7% pervious landscaping within parking lots, strategic tree planting, and perimeter landscaping, with allowances for modifications in redevelopment projects. Screen walls and lighting regulations ensure compatibility with urban design, while exceptions exist for smaller lots and transit-oriented developments.
