3. Non-conforming provisions to determine when a developed property should be brought into

Planning and Zoning Commission · 2026-06-17 · agenda_item

This civic agenda item concerns proposed changes to residential lot landscaping requirements for one- and two-family dwellings. The proposal includes specific percentages for low-water use zones and irrigation, along with minimum shade tree requirements based on lot size and width. For example, a quarter-acre lot would need one shade tree, and shade trees may be required along the front lot line and near shorelines. These regulations are currently under review by the Planning and Zoning Commission. If approved, this could lead to work involving site preparation, tree planting, and potentially irrigation system adjustments. Local contractors, nurseries, and suppliers specializing in landscaping, irrigation, and tree services may find opportunities as these new rules are implemented. Early engagement could be beneficial as the specifics of site plans and permits are developed.
