E-mail: kmartin@ci.southlake.tx.us
TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
* The submitted Tree Conservation is consistent with the approved Case ZA15-092 Tree
Conservation Plan. There is 4.9% of existing tree cover on the site and a minimum of 70% of
the existing tree cover is required to be preserved. 70% of the existing tree cover is proposed to
be preserved.
Except as provided by subsection 7.2.b. of the Tree Preservation Ordinance, a Tree
Conservation Analysis or Tree Conservation Plan shall be approved if it will preserve existing
tree cover in accordance with the percentage requirements established by Table 2.0. If the
Case No. Attachment C
ZA19-0022 Page 2
property has previously received a tree permit related to development, the percentage of existing
tree cover at the time the first such permit was issued shall be used to calculate the minimum
existing tree cover that must be preserved under this section.
Table 2.0 – Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements
Percentage of existing tree cover on
the entire site
Minimum percentage of the
existing tree cover to be
preserved*
0% – 20% 70%
20.1 – 40% 60%
40.1% - 60% 50%
60.1% - 80% 40%
80.1% - 100% 30%
*The minimum percentage of existing tree cover to be preserved shall exclude any area in
public rights-of-way as approved by City Council.
* Please be aware that all existing trees shown to be preserved on the City Council approved Tree
Conservation Plan must be preserved and protected during all phases and construction of the
development. Alteration or removal of any of the existing trees shown to be preserved on the
approved Tree Conservation Plan is a violation of the Tree Preservation Ordinance and the
zoning as approved by the Southlake City Council. Please ensure that the layout of all structures,
easements, utilities, structures grading, and any other structure proposed to be constructed do
not conflict with existing trees intended to be preserved.
