15.04.480 Open space.
For the purposes of calculating the percentage of a developed lot, "Open space" means a public or privately owned and maintained parcel of land or body of water within a development upon which there are no buildings, parking areas, or driveways, but including plazas, sidewalks, trails, space for active and passive recreation, and landscaped areas. Parking lot landscaping and plaza areas without direct pedestrian access from the public way (including roof-top space) are not credited for inclusion in the required open space area calculations. For all other purposes "open space" means open areas not formally maintained and typically not providing programmed recreational activities. (Ord. 2010-12 § 3; Ord. 1985-6 § 4 (part); prior code § 5-2-2(UU))
