C. Parking Lot Landscaping. Upon a review for any expansion, intensification, or reconfiguration of an existing parking lot, the designated Review Authority may require that any nonconformity with respect to interior landscaping and landscaped yards along streets for parking lots be made to conform with the requirements specified in Chapter 18.38 (Off-Street Parking Regulations and Design Standards) to the fullest extent feasible.
