LANDSCAPING
Discussion Paper
Back2round:
Recent developments have generated preliminary discussion on possible addition of
landscaping standards to Chapter 106 (Zoning) of the Code of Ordinances. The purpose
is to enhance the overall impression of the City, to have quality developments along
major thoroughfares, and eventually attract new sustainable businesses to La Porte. Staff
analyzed the situation thoroughly and presents this item to the Planning and Zoning
Commission for discussion and further guidance in order for possible changes to the
Code of Ordinances relating to landscaping, tree preservation, tree replacement and
establishing tree fund in La Porte.
Existin2 Requirements:
Current ordinances require minimum landscaping to be 6%. Total area of landscaping is
calculated as follows:
a. Compute total developed site area.
b. Deduct total area of roofed over improvements from the developed site area.
c. Minimum landscaping requirement (6%) is based on the total remaining
developed site area.
However, no specifications for trees and shrubs are available for the planting plans.
Grass, ground cover, flowering and non-flowering plants may be used for required
landscaping.
A provision for Tree Preservation allows City a control only within 15 feet of the street
right-of-way (ROW) line or easement line abutting front yard or within 10 feet of the
street right-of-way line or easement line abutting required side yard with a trunk
exceeding six inches in diameter at a point 18 inches above the natural ground level,
should not be removed or destroyed until the City representative declares it hazardous to
pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
In the case of removal or damage to a native tree, tree replacement of one or more newly
planted trees is required by the ordinances. In addition, a tree must comply with the
recommended tree list of the City (see attached). The enforcement officer shall determine
the type and number of replacement trees.
EXHIBIT A
Planning & Zoning Commission

Page 2 of2
Suggested Requirements:
Minimum landscaping requirement of 6% is amended as landscaping must be provided
along the front property line and along the side property lines in a minimum of four feet
wide planting strip with a combination of trees and shrubs. Minimum 2" caliper tree at 20'
on center and minimum 5 gallons shrub in between trees at 3' on center are suggested.
In addition, the City's recommended trees, plants list, and specification shall apply for
minimum landscaping standards in La Porte.
For tree preservation, the current provision of the City's control area within 15 feet of any
street right-of-way line or easement abutting the required front yard and within 10 feet if
abutting the required side yard will be amended with an overall developed site area. In
addition, a person desirous of developing the property shall obtain a clearing permit from
the City. The intent is to encourage the preservation of existing large trees on the
development tract as a whole. The enforcement officer shall determine the type and
number of replacement trees in order to allow clearing of buildable areas only.
However, current provisions in the Code of Ordinances have no requirements for tree
fund in case there is no room for the trees to be planted at the developed site. Hence, a
provision for the tree fund is introduced.
Conclusions:
It is staff's opinion that the above measures will protect urban environment of the City
from unreasonable harming of tree/plants during development and predevelopment
activities. Draft Ordinance showing proposed changes and strike outs is attached for
reVIew.
Staff seeks input and guidance from the Commission in order to address landscaping and
other beautification measures within the City.
Actions available to the Commission are as follows:
. Set a public hearing date.
· Provide other directions to staff.
· Continue workshop until next meeting.

Sec. 106-801. Tree Preservation.
(a) It is the intent of this section to encourage the preservation of existing trees
within the city and to prohibit their unwarranted destruction.
(b) It shall be unlawful for any person to cause or permit the destruction of any native

yard or within ten feet of any street right of way line or easement line abutting the required side
yaffi-within the city if such tree has a trunk which exceeds six inches in diameter (or 18.84-inch

not be a violation of this pro','ision if a tree is removed and destroyed ..'{here, in the opinion of the
planning director or his designated representative, said tree constitutes a hazard to pedestrian
and/or ','ehicular traffic along any such right of way. The intent of this section is to encourage
site planning which furthers the preservation of trees and natural areas by these methods; to
protect trees during construction; to facilitate site design and construction which contributes to
the long term viability of existing trees; and to control the unnecessary removal of trees; require
on-site replacement of trees that must be removed and require off-site replacement of trees that
cannot be replaced on-site; either by direct planting or through a 'tree fund'. It is the further
intent of this section to achieve the following obiectives:
1. Protect healthy trees and preserve the natural, environmental, and aesthetic qualities of
the City.
2. Protect and increase the value of residential and commercial properties within the City.
3. Discourage clear-cutting of property.
4. Maintain and enhance a positive image for the attraction of new developments to the
City.
(c) No person, firm or corporation desirous of developing or improving any parcel of
property, shall remove or cause the removal of any tree from said property without first obtaining
a clearing permit which would allow clearing of buildable areas only.
Sec. 106-802. Tree Replacement
Tree disposition plan or tree survey must be submitted and approved prior to the removal or
destruction of any tree. In the event that it is necessary to remove a protected tree, as a condition
of a building permit issuance, shall be required to replace the tree( s) being removed with
replacement trees as follows:
(a) Number of replacement trees. Tree disposition conditions and tree permit authorizing
removal of or damage to large trees or protected trees shall normally require replacement by
one or more newly planted trees on the same subject site. If this is not feasible, the owner or
developer must plant and maintain off-site replacement trees in reasonable proximity to the
subject site.
(b) Minimum size. Replacement trees must normally have a trunk diameter of at least two inches
measured six inches from the ground. The enforcement officer may prescribe a
proportionally smaller trunk diameter for certain species of trees, i.e. Crepe Myrtle (see
Section... above).

"native or protected" of the City and following categories to be used as replacement trees:

the type and number of replacement trees required in an attempt to minimize undue burden

landscaping, such as lighting or a watering system in a street area, the building official must
be satisfied that Tex. Trans. Code, Chapter 316 has been complied with and also confirms
there would be no violation of the provisions relating to visibility triangles and future
overhead obstruction.
A sufficient number and diameter of replacement trees shall be planted on the subiect site in
order to equal the total diameter inches, as determined above. If this is not feasible, the applicant
may, upon approval by the director, plant and maintain off-site replacement trees in accordance
with this section.
Sec. 106-803. Tree Fund.
The owner or developer of any lot or tract of land required to replace trees in accordance with
this section may, as an alternative and, upon approval by the director, pay a prescribed
fee/amount into the tree fund as per following conditions:
