GN 2011 -103 ORDINANCE NO. 3173 AMENDING SECTION 114.71(b) AND THE
LANDSCAPING REGULATIONS OF THE CITY
APPROVED
John Pitstick, Planning and Development Director, summarized the item. The City
Council is being asked to amend the landscape regulations ordinance. The ordinance
amends the conditions which require compliance with the landscaping regulations in
Section 114 -71 of the Code of Ordinances.
Amendments include:
• When an existing building is proposed for remodeling, alteration, addition, or
expansion, in which the value of the proposed construction exceeds 50 percent
of the current value of the existing structures as appraised by the Tarrant
Appraisal District (TAD), excluding the value of the land;
• When an existing building is proposed for an addition that will increase the
square footage of the existing building by 30 percent;
• Upon construction of a new building; or
• As a requirement of the approval of a special use permit or planned unit
development.
• Should any of a property's existing landscaping be converted to another use,
conveyed or taken by eminent domain, equivalent landscaping shall be required
as a condition of the continued use and occupancy of the lot and existing
structures thereon. "Equivalent" shall mean the same area and quantity of
landscape materials as is being replaced. If the existing landscaping is a buffer
to a public street, such buffer shall be replaced. Such requirement shall not be
deemed to require more landscaping than would be required for new
construction of the building on such lot.

conveyance or eminent domain, parking entrance island requirements described
in Section 114- 71(i)(3) shall be complied with.
