All remaining sides shall be faced with brick, stone, split face block, or similar approved facing material to a minimum height of eight feet above ground.

7.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 153.390 et seq., Article 10, "Nonconformities," when any property/building or portion of property/building in the UPD-45 area is transformed from a retail use (high intensity parking use) to a UPD-45 use (low intensity parking use), a proportional share of the parking area shall be removed and replaced with landscaping. This proportion will be based upon the difference between the amount of parking required in Section 153.310 of the Zoning Code for the size and type of UPD-45 use to be established and the amount of parking required in Section 153.310 of the Zoning Code for the size and type of retail use to be eliminated. The purpose of the landscaping is to aesthetically enhance the vast parking areas while decreasing demand upon the City's storm water system. Prior to the issuance of any permit related to a use enumerated in subsection A of this section, a detailed landscape-planting plan shall be submitted for review and approval by the Department of Planning and Urban Development, and a Performance Bond shall be placed with the Department of Planning and Urban Development at one hundred percent of the estimated cost of the landscaping.

There shall be a one hundred feet building line on the south side of Rockcliff Drive, extending from the corporation line east to Marietta Avenue.
