Parking lots with more than sixteen (16) parking spaces shall have landscaping in the
               interior of the parking lot in addition to landscaping along the edges of the lot. No
               interior landscaping is required, however, for parking lots where all spaces abut a
               landscaped setback area as described in Note 5, above, and the parking lot is in
               compliance with Article V, Section-5(C) of this Ordinance. At least one (1) tree shall
               be planted within the parking lot (interior for every ten (10) proposed and existing
               spaces. Such interior trees shall be in addition to trees required along the edges of the
               lot. Interior trees shall be planted in planting beds no smaller than five feet by five feet
               (5’ x 5’). Parking spaces abutting a landscaped setback area (as described in Note 5,
               above) and in compliance with Article V, Section-5(C) of this Ordinance, however,
               shall not be counted in the calculation when determining the number of interior trees
               required. Trees shall be located in such a manner as to provide shade over the greatest
               number of parking spaces practicable. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the
               contrary, the Planning Board may waive or modify these interior landscaping
               requirements upon a specific finding, in writing, that a substantial hardship would result
               or would otherwise cause the parking area to be in noncompliance with this Ordinance.
