SUB3ECTs Proposed Landscape Ordinance Alternatives
OATEs January 21, 1985
The attached draft landscaping ordinance has been prepared, reviewed, and
altered during the course of discussion during the past several months.
This draft assumes several items which may or may not reflect the consensus
of the Council and Commission. First, there are certain basic decisions
which need to be made prior to getting into any further detail in the
ordinance.
I Scope of Application
Zoning district, geographical, residential, commercial, industrial,
etc.
II Landscaping Requirements
Performance standards, specific criteria, etc.
III Administration/Processing
Administrative, planning commission, specific landscaping review
board, etc.
IV Enforcement
Certificate of Occupancy, cash escrow, performance bond, etc
i a. I
i
Landscaping Alternatives
Page 2
V Scope of Authority
Landscaping plan vs overall site plan including signage, liqhting,
etc.
It is important to make decisions on the preceeding issues in light of the
existing permit and review procedures currently in place. For example, the
Building Official requires the submission of a plot plan prior to the
issuance of a building permit. The required information includes the
property lines and dimensions, the location of the proposed building on the
lot and the amount and location of the parking area. It is reasonable to
assume that the applicant would be required to expand the plot plan to
include any landscaping information required under such an ordinance.
I have reviewed the landscaping requirements established by the City b
Borough of Juneau as a portion of an overall site planning ordinance
addressing signage and lighting. This ordinance applies to all land uses
exclusive of residential units less than a five-plex encompassing an
identified "design review district". A special committee, appointed by the
Borough Assembly, exercises full review power for all applications. The
municipality utilizes adopted standards which govern the landscaping review
process. A performance bond is required for all landscaping not
accomplished prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
The Municipality of Anchorage is on the verge of enacting a comprehensive
landscaping ordinance. Presently, only major parking areas, specified
major highways and public projects are required to be landscaped. The
ordinance being contemplated would address all land uses in excess of a
residential four-plex within the Municipality. The landscaping plan will
be accomplished administratively with existing planning staff.
Presently, these are the only two Alaskan municipalities administering
landscaping regulations on a comprehensive basis.
