Landscaping
The amended Landscape Ordinance was adopted by City Council in January 2001. The primary purpose of the ordinance is to increase the attractiveness of commercial developments and reduce any negative environmental impact. THREE copies of the landscape plan is required with the building permit application if there is new commercial construction or if there is an addition exceeding 1,000 sq. ft. or a ten percent increase to an existing structure.
Tree Preservation
San Antonio Tree Preservation Ordinance is effective throughout San Antonio and its extraterritorial jurisdictional area (ETJ). The ordinance was adopted by City Council on March 13, 2003. Refer to the tree preservation ordinance in the UDC for more details. Removal of trees on existing commercial properties requires a permit.
