(A) Building Foundations.
(1) For every 100 linear feet of building foundation, the landscaping installed shall
at a minimum meet the number of landscaping points specified in Figure 30-
253d.
(2) Tall trees shall not be used to meet building foundation landscaping
requirements.
(3) Building foundation landscaping shall be placed so that at maturity, the plant’s
drip line is located within 10 feet of the building foundation.
(4) Building expansions shall be subject to the same landscaping formula
requirements as new buildings (see Figure 30-253d). The formula shall not be
applied to portions of the building foundation developed prior to the adoption
of this ordinance.
City of Oshkosh Zoning Ordinance Municipal Code
City of Oshkosh Chapter 30 – Article IX - Page 4 Municipal Codes
(5) The measurement of the building foundation may be simplified as the smallest
single rectangle that contains the entire building perimeter, except that the
sides of the building facing an adjacent public street, where the actual
perimeter shall be measured.
(B) Paved Areas.
(1) For every 10 off-street parking stalls or 10,000 square feet of pavement
(whichever yields the greater landscaping requirement), landscaping shall at a
minimum meet the number of landscaping points specified in Figure 30-253d.
(2) Paved area landscaping shall be placed so that at maturity, the plant’s drip line
is located within 10 feet of the paved area. Said area does not have to be
provided in one contiguous area. Plants used to fulfill this requirement shall
visually screen parking, loading, and circulation areas from view from public
streets.
(3) A minimum of 30 percent of all points shall be devoted to medium or tall trees,
or a combination of such trees, and a minimum of 40 percent of all points shall
be devoted to shrubs.

more than 20 parking spaces. Internal parking lot landscaping shall be
accomplished by the installation of landscaped planter islands or other
types of landscaping application approved by the Director of Community
Development, or designee.
(b) Landscaped planter islands shall be required at the ends of all parking
rows, driveway entrances, and at intermediate locations such that there is
a maximum of 180 feet between islands. See Figure 30-253a.
(i) Landscaped planter islands are required where 2 rows of parking
stalls meet at a right angle. See Figure 30-253b.
City of Oshkosh Zoning Ordinance Municipal Code
City of Oshkosh Chapter 30 – Article IX - Page 5 Municipal Codes
Figure 30-253a: Requirements for Islands
Figure 30-253b: Parking Rows at Right Angles
City of Oshkosh Zoning Ordinance Municipal Code
City of Oshkosh Chapter 30 – Article IX - Page 6 Municipal Codes
(c) Each landscaped planter island shall be no less than 125 square feet in
area and 7 feet in width, measured from the back of the curb. For
double-parking rows, each landscaped planter island shall be no less
than 250 square feet in area. The 7-foot width requirement may be
reduced to accommodate the triangular shape resulting from angled
parking.
(i) Exception. A continuous 7-foot wide landscape strip may be
provided between double parking rows in place of landscaped
planter islands.
(ii) See Figure 30-253c.
Figure 30-253c: Interior Landscaping
(d) All islands shall be crowned for positive drainage, unless bio-retention
methods of stormwater management are utilized per a stormwater
management plan approved by the Department of Public Works.
(e) One shade tree or tall deciduous tree shall be provided for every island
and for every 40 linear feet of continuous landscape strip. Medium or low
trees (evergreen or deciduous) may be used to supplement deciduous
City of Oshkosh Zoning Ordinance Municipal Code
City of Oshkosh Chapter 30 – Article IX - Page 7 Municipal Codes
shade trees in locations that may not support healthy shade tree or tall
deciduous tree growth. This determination shall be made by the Director
of Community Development, or designee. For double-row parking, 2
medium trees or 1 tall deciduous tree shall be required for each island.
[Revised 6.11.19]
(i) Trees shall be a minimum of 2 inches in caliper and not less than 6
feet tall at planting.
(ii) Shrubs shall be a minimum of 18 inches at planting.
(f) In addition to the required trees and shrubs, islands shall be planted with
grass, low ground cover, shrubs, flowers, decorative stone/river rock,
mulch, or a combination thereof. Mulches and decorative stone shall be
installed so that the loose material will not erode, fall, be plowed, or be
otherwise transported onto paved surfaces.
(g) To ensure proper visibility within the parking lot, shrubs shall be no
higher than 2 feet and the branches of trees shall start no less than 6 feet
from the ground, unless located in areas that do not affect driver visibility.
(5) Parking lot screening required by Section 30-175(I) shall count toward the
landscaping requirements of this Section.
(6) Paved area expansions shall be subject to the same landscaping formula
requirements as new paved areas (see Figure 30-253d). The formula shall not
be applied to paved areas developed prior to the adoption of this ordinance.
(C) Street Frontages.
(1) For every 100 linear feet of street frontage of a developed lot abutting a public
street right-of-way, the landscaping installed shall at a minimum meet the
number of landscaping points specified in Figure 30-253d.
(2) Street frontage landscaping shall be placed so that at maturity, the plant’s
drip line is located within 10 feet of the public street right-of-way.
(3) Landscaping shall not located within a public right-of-way. Landscaping
shall not impede vehicle or pedestrian visibility. See Section 30-174.
(4) A minimum of 50 percent of all points shall be devoted to decorative or
medium trees, or a combination of such trees.
(5) In the case of any new principal building, building expansion, new paved
area, or paved area expansion on a previously-developed site, a percentage of
the landscaping points specified in Figure 30-253d shall be required. For new
City of Oshkosh Zoning Ordinance Municipal Code
City of Oshkosh Chapter 30 – Article IX - Page 8 Municipal Codes
paved areas and expansions, the required percentage shall be equal to the
percentage of the paved area expansion as compared to the existing paved
area square footage. For new buildings and expansions, the required
percentage shall be the percentage of the building expansion as compared to
the existing building square footage.
(D) Yards.
(1) For every 1,000 square feet of gross floor area of all principal and accessory
buildings on the site, the landscaping installed shall at a minimum meet the
number of landscaping points specified in Figure 30-253d.
(2) Landscaping required by this Section is most effective if located away from
other areas required for landscaping such as building foundations, street
frontages, paved areas, protected green space areas, or bufferyards.
(3) The intent of this Section is to provide yard shade and to require a visual
screen of a minimum of 6 feet in height for all detached exterior
appurtenances (such as HVAC, utility boxes, standpipes, stormwater
discharge pipes and other pipes).
(4) Building expansions shall be subject to the same landscaping formula
requirements as new buildings (see Figure 30-253d). The formula shall not be
applied to portions of buildings developed prior to the adoption of this
ordinance.
(E) Bufferyards. A bufferyard is a combination of distance and a visual buffer or
barrier. It includes an area, together with the combination of plantings, berms and
fencing that are required to eliminate or reduce existing or potential nuisances
(e.g. dirt, litter, noise, glare, signs, and incompatible land uses, buildings, or
parking areas).
(1) The required level of bufferyard opacity is listed in Figure 30-253e. Detailed
bufferyard requirements are listed in Figure 30-253f. Opacity is a
quantitatively-derived measure which indicates the degree to which a
particular bufferyard screens the abutting property. The required level of
opacity indicated is directly related to the degree to which the potential
character of development differs between different zoning districts.
(2) Bufferyards shall be located along (and within) the outer perimeter of a lot
wherever 2 different zoning districts abut one another. Bufferyards shall not
be required in front yards or along public street frontages.
City of Oshkosh Zoning Ordinance Municipal Code
City of Oshkosh Chapter 30 – Article IX - Page 9 Municipal Codes
(3) To ensure that the year-round screening objectives are fulfilled, only the plant
classifications in Figure 30-254b listed as “Appropriate for Screening” shall
count toward bufferyard point totals, unless non-screening plants are used in
combination with a solid fence or a berm of 6 feet or more, in accordance with
Figure 30-253f.
(4) Reduction of Required Bufferyard Width.
(a) Intent. This Subsection is intended to allow for the reduction of the
required width of a required bufferyard where the presence of
permanently protected green space or similar areas provides equivalent
permanent screening and separation benefits as would be provided by the
otherwise required bufferyard.
(b) Where the minimum permitted width for the required bufferyard is not
available under the current or proposed state of development, the Director
of Community Development, or designee, may reduce the width required
for the bufferyard to that currently available on the site, provided that the
portion of the site that requires a bufferyard contains 1 or more of the
following:
(i) Steep slopes that contain retaining walls or rip-rap
(ii) Permanently undevelopable green space or other permanently
protected green space designated on site plans such as a native or
restored prairies or park savannas, wetlands, bodies of water,
floodplains, drainageways, upland woods, stormwater basins, or
other natural resource protection areas, including areas protected by
covenants or conversation easements.
(c) If there is permanently protected green space located on an adjoining
property adjacent to the portion of a site that requires a bufferyard, the
Director of Community Development, or designee, may reduce the width
required for the bufferyard. The reduction shall consist of no more than 1
foot for every 3 feet of permanently protected green space on the
adjoining property, as measured from the property line at a right angle
into said adjacent property. There shall be no reduction in the number of
landscape points required.
City of Oshkosh Zoning Ordinance Municipal Code
City of Oshkosh Chapter 30 – Article IX - Page 10 Municipal Codes
(5) Use of Required Bufferyard and Landscaped Areas.
(a) Any and all required bufferyards or landscaped areas may be used for
passive recreation activities. Said areas may contain pedestrian or bike
trails provided that no required landscaping material is eliminated; the
total width of the required bufferyard, or the total area of required
landscaping, is maintained; and all other regulations of this Chapter are
met.
(b) No swimming pools, tennis courts, sports fields, golf courses, or other
such similar active recreational uses shall be permitted.
(c) No parking, buildings, outdoor light fixtures, and no outdoor display of
storage of materials shall be permitted.
(d) Paving in such areas shall be limited to that required for necessary access
to or across the subject property or for a passive recreational use such as
paved multiuse trails or pedestrian walkways.
(F) Determination of Landscaping Requirements.
(1) The requirements of this Article are additive to each other and any other
landscaping or screening requirements in this Chapter.
(2) Landscape points used to meet one requirement (e.g. building foundations,
paved areas, street frontages, yards, or bufferyards) shall not be used to meet
another requirement.
(G) Measurement and Calculation.
(1) Landscaping point values shall be doubled for mature existing landscape
plantings that are retained and protected with the development of the site.
Existing plantings eligible for double point values shall be determined by the
City Forester.
(2) In calculating the number of required landscaping points under the
provisions of this Section, all areas and distances on which required
calculations are based shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number of
square feet or linear feet.
(3) Any partial plant derived from the required calculations of this Section (for
example: 23.3 shade trees) shall be rounded up to the next whole plant (for
example: 24 shade trees).
City of Oshkosh Zoning Ordinance Municipal Code
City of Oshkosh Chapter 30 – Article IX - Page 11 Municipal Codes
(H) Utility Easements. Landscaping materials, fences and berms located within a duly
recorded utility, stormwater, or a pedestrian easement shall not count toward
meeting a landscaping requirement, unless authorized otherwise by the City and
the easement holder. However, the width of such areas may be counted as part of
a landscaping width requirement for bufferyards.
(I) Other Green Space Areas. Green space areas not used for landscape plantings
other than natural resource protection areas shall be graded and seeded or sodded
with an acceptable maintainable seed mix, restored to native vegetation.
Alternatively, such areas may be maintained in crop production if a principal use
exists on-site and if approved by the Director of Community Development, or
designee.

Notes:
1 “Species to Use Sparingly” may be used as part of an overall landscaping plan, but only if the number of
individual plants does not constitute more than 1 plant per 20 total plants within the same plant classification.
For example, if a landscaping plan includes a total of 20 Tall Deciduous Trees, no more than 1 of those 20 trees
may be classified as a “Species to Use Sparingly.” The purpose of this provision is to encourage plant species
diversity throughout the City.
2 “Prohibited Species” shall not be included as part of any landscaping plan that is subject to City review per
Section 30-252. The purpose of this provision is to limit the planting of species that are invasive, have invasive
tendencies, or that may perpetuate or spread disease.

Section 30-255: Standards for Rain Gardens and Bioswales
(A) Definition.
(1) Rain gardens can serve both as landscaping and stormwater management
features on a building site, where appropriately designed and sited. A rain
garden is a shallow, depressed garden that is designed and positioned on a site
to capture stormwater runoff and allow for the infiltration of water back into
the ground. Rain garden plants are carefully chosen for their ability to
withstand moisture extremes and potentially high concentrations of nutrients
and sediments that are often found in stormwater runoff. A well designed and
maintained rain garden serves as an attractive component of an overall
landscaping plan for a development site.
(2) Bioswales can serve both as landscaping and stormwater management features
on a building site, where appropriately designed and sited. A bioswale is a
linear, vegetative stormwater runoff conveyance system that is designed to
store and infiltrate water from small storm events back into the ground and
direct water from heavy rain events to appropriate storm sewer inlets or other
management facilities. The flow of water being conveyed through a bioswale
is slowed down, allowing for municipal storm systems to more effectively
manage heavier rain events and help reduce the risk of flooding on or off-site.
Water being infiltrated or conveyed via a bioswale is also filtered by the
vegetation within it, generally improving both ground and surface water
quality.
(B) Requirements.
(1) The installation of a rain garden or bioswale may contribute to the overall
stormwater management plan for a development site and count toward
meeting the City’s landscaping guidelines. Rain gardens and bioswales may
count for 20 points for every 20 square feet for yard, building foundation,
and/or paved area requirements, provided the following requirements are met.
Rain gardens and bioswales shall count for no more than 100 points of the
required landscaping per site.
(2) Detailed plans shall be provided that show all proposed dimensions of the rain
garden or bioswale including length, width, depth, and slope of depression;
location of the rain garden or bioswale on the lot relative to hard-surfaced
areas, downspouts, and site topography; characteristics of the soil underlying
the rain garden or bioswale; description of planting media; the species,
number, and size at time of installation of all vegetation proposed for the rain
City of Oshkosh Zoning Ordinance Municipal Code
City of Oshkosh Chapter 30 – Article IX - Page 28 Municipal Codes
garden or bioswale; and information on any other materials that will be used
to line the rain garden or bioswale.
(3) Installation shall not be proposed for any of the following areas of a site:
(a) Areas where there is known soil contamination unless the rain garden or
bioswale is proposed to be constructed with an under-drain;
(b) Areas where the characteristics of the soil would not allow for the proper
infiltration of water into the ground; or
(c) Areas where there are expected to be high levels of foot traffic, unless such
areas are protected from foot traffic.
(4) The owner of the site shall demonstrate that the rain garden or bioswale is
properly maintained, specifically: kept free of trash, weeds, debris, and dead
or dying plants; any pipes associated with the rain garden or bioswale will be
inspected on an annual basis and kept free of debris; and by the beginning of
every spring dead plant materials will be cut back or removed.
(5) Bioswales and rain gardens shall be generously (and appropriately) vegetated
to qualify for landscaping points. If bioswales and rain gardens (or portions
thereof) are lined with turf but do not include other vegetation, then they will
not count toward meeting landscaping point requirements.
(6) Rain gardens and bioswales may serve as a component of an overall
stormwater management plan for a site only if detailed plans, calculations, and
specifications are submitted and approved by the Department of Public Works.
Detailed plans shall include the location and description of all other
stormwater management facilities serving the site, particularly those to which
any bioswale will be directed.
City of Oshkosh Zoning Ordinance Municipal Code
City of Oshkosh Chapter 30 – Article IX - Page 29 Municipal Codes
Section 30-256: Installation Requirements
(A) Installation. Any and all landscaping and bufferyard material required by the
provisions of this Chapter shall be installed on the subject property, in accordance
with the approved site plan within 365 days of the issuance of an occupancy permit
for any building on the subject property.
(B) If existing plant material meets the requirements of this Article and will be
preserved on the subject property following the completion of development, it may
be counted as contributing to the landscaping requirements and worth double the
landscaping point value per plant.
(C) All landscaping and bufferyard areas shall be seeded with lawn or native ground
cover unless such vegetation is already fully established.
(D) The exact placement of plants and structures shall be depicted on the required
detailed landscaping plan submitted to the City for its approval. Such plant and
structure location shall be the decision of each property owner provided the
following requirements are met:
(1) Evergreen shrubs shall be planted in clusters to maximize their chance for
survival.
(2) Where a combination of plant materials, berming, and fencing is used in a
bufferyard, the fence and/or berm may be located toward the interior or
exterior of the subject property and at least 50 percent of the required
landscaping points shall be located toward the exterior of the subject property.
(3) A property owner may establish through a written agreement, recorded with
the Register of Deeds that an abutting property owner agrees to provide on the
immediately abutting portion of his or her land a partial or full portion of the
required bufferyard, thereby relieving the developer of the responsibility of
providing the entire bufferyard on his property. Responsibility for
maintenance of bufferyard landscaping shall be included as part of this
agreement.
(4) Under no circumstance shall landscaping or bufferyard materials be selected
or located in a manner resulting in the creation of a safety or visibility hazard.
(5) The restrictions on types of plants listed in this Article shall apply.
(E) Upon completion of the approved landscape improvements, a certification of
compliance shall also be submitted by the owner or agent.
City of Oshkosh Zoning Ordinance Municipal Code
City of Oshkosh Chapter 30 – Article IX - Page 30 Municipal Codes
(F) Maintenance.
(1) The continual maintenance of all required landscaping and bufferyard
materials shall be a requirement of this Chapter and shall be the responsibility
of the owner of the property on which said materials and plants are required.
This requirement shall run with the property and shall be binding upon all
future property owners. Development of any or all property following the
effective date of this Chapter shall constitute an agreement by the property
owner to comply with the provisions of this Section.
(2) The owner of the premises shall be responsible for the watering, maintenance,
repair, and replacement of all landscaping, fences, and other landscape
architectural features on the site. All planting beds shall be kept weed-free.
Plant material which has died shall be replaced with equivalent vegetation
within twelve months.
