| Words in here about this type of bioretention.
| | On commercial, industrial and multi-unit developments, a popular choice is to integrate [[bioretention]] into parking lot landscaped areas. These distributed cells typically accept sheet flow through multiple curb cuts, have shallow depression storage ≤ 100 mm, and a total area of 5 -200 m<sup>2</sup>. Although many parking lot schemes include long linear bioretention cells (≥ 0.6 m wide), infiltration is optimized by having a level grade and a level base, unlike a [[Bioswales|bioswale]]. |

| | ===Winter maintenance=== |
| | Salt can be damaging to the planting in parking lot bioretention. To help minimize this, bioretention practices adjacent to parking areas should always have an [[underdrain]] and salt use be reduced through good design and planning of the [[salt management| parking lot]]. |
