existing tree cover in accordance with the percentage requirements established by Table

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.

zoning district, including an S-P-1 Site Plan, S-P-2 Site Plan, Transition, Rural Conservation,
Planned Unit Development, or Employment Center zoning district, the City Council shall consider
the application for a Conservation Analysis or Plan in conjunction with the corresponding
development application (as established in Table 1.0). The Planning and Zoning Commission
shall review the application and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the
application. The City Council shall approve the Plan or Analysis if the Council finds that the Plan
or Analysis provides for the:
placement of building pads, parking areas, driveways, streets, and utility easements so as to
maximize the preservation of environmental features of the property including mature tree stands,
natural creeks and ponds, and significant grades;
maximizes the preservation of tree cover preservation areas indicated on the Environmental
Resource Protection Map;

In addition to the City of Southlake impact fees, please be aware that through the wholesale water
