Here are some of the proposed requirements:

Landscaping: Parking lots with more than 7,500 square feet would be required to add trees and shrubbery along perimeters. Parking lots with less square footage than that would not have to add landscaping but would be required to install a 3-foot-high fence.

Signs: Owners would be required to install signs at the entrance to the parking lot gate that name the company or person responsible for the lot, a 24-hour contact number, cost of parking and the address of the parking lot. Signs would be a minimum of 4 feet.

Lighting and Security: Parking lots would have to have overhead lighting that meets city standards. Owners would be required to have at least one security person on duty from sunset until 4 a.m. or until patrons have left. Some would be exempt from the changes.

Paving and surface: Entrances to the parking lots would have to be paved. All parking spots would have to be level turf or hard rock surfaces.

Irrigation: If the parking lots have grass and shrubbery, owners would be required to use manual watering or an irrigation system on a timer to maintain landscaping.
