2025 Tree and Landscaping Subcommittee Revision List (Draft)

[Jeff Hewgley]

Commissioners,

In support of Action Item VI.1 on the agenda for our 2/12/2026 P&Z Commission meeting, I’ve attached the list of issues and recommendations developed by the 2025 Tree and Landscaping Subcommittee. After we review and reach consensus on these proposed changes, I recommend that we direct staff to incorporate them into an updated ordinance draft for our subsequent review, refinement, and eventual referral to the City Council.

I’m happy to walk us through the document during the 2/12/2026 meeting and continue the discussion here on the board. Thank you for your time and engagement.

Hi Jeff,

There needs to be a minimum soil depth for sod yards in the landscaping. It was addressed in the WCP about 8 years ago. Sodded yards should also be required to use drought tolerent grasses.

Thank you for the recommendations - I've noted some comments, questions and council members' previous input - (would not "post" my file is "too large")
