ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:

 

These amendments are proposed to increase the landscaping requirements, furthering the Big Move Number 2: Extending the Green, Big Move Number 4: Thriving Neighborhoods, and Big Move Number 9: Sustainability of the Lewisville 2025 Plan. The provisions also permit a reduction in the landscape buffer to it’s existing standard provided other community character standards are met.  This provision will reduce complications associated with redevelopment but also apply to new developments. 

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

That the City Council approved the ordinance as set forth in the caption above.
