Any building to be structurally modified, but not enlarged, that does not have area to landscape due to parking and other requirements, may be exempted or partially exempted from these requirements administratively if the review during the permitting process shows an inability to comply. (Ord. C99-5, 9-28-1999) 4. For renovations exceeding twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) in improvements to existing buildings within all nonresidential zoning districts, landscaping shall be installed for up to twenty percent (20%) of the project valuation.

Enforcement: Failure to abide by the maintenance standards will be considered a nuisance subject to abatement provisions of this code . L. Variances: Where it can be shown that strict compliance with the requirements of these regulations can not be met, due to City of Gallup  10-4C-2 10-4C-2 unavailability of sufficient land, a variance may be sought in accordance to section 10-4L-3 of this chapter. M. Design: When designing the layout of landscaping materials, it is suggested that the plant materials be spaced for their mature size to avoid interfering with walkways, doorways, and parking stalls; and to avoid the appearance of cluttered landscaping.
