8-1.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this Section is to provide design guidance to protect and enhance the community's
environmental, economic and aesthetic quality, thereby contributing to the overall objective of
promoting the public's health, safety and general welfare. The following design guidance is intended
to enhance, preserve and develop the City's environment by:
• Managing development impacts by planting trees and landscaping in order to increase the real
estate values of properties; and
Creating innovative and environmentally friendly landscape designs that enhance and define
the public and private spaces.
The (...Aof Soi.ith Bend Forester and Engineering will work together with respect to clarification and
guidance during plan reviews. Communication for tree plantings and landscaping requirements shall
be through Engineering during these plan reviews.
8-1.2 OVERVIEW
This guidance is to address landscaping applied as part of a development project or to be incorporated
as part of the surface restoration from work performed within the right-of-way. This section is not
intended to be a substitute for code requirements required in �tpt,t 19 Trees an Venh
uu p_an.
;i Where design guidance conflicts between
this section and the subdivision ordinance, the more restrictive requirement shall govern.
8-1.3 PLANTING SEASONS
Landscape and other planting work performed within the right-of-way shall be performed in their
respective species' planting season. Typically, these planting seasons are either spring or fall. Spring
Planting shall occur from the time the soil first becomes workable up to June 15. Fall Planting shall
occur from September 1 to November 15. Evergreen shrub plantings shall occur no later than
November 1, and evergreen tree plantings shall occur no later than October 15. Plantings that occur
outside of the specified planting seasons shall be approved by the City.
Plantings occurring in the summer season, generally from June through August, or other unseasonable
conditions may require watering and additional measures to sustain said plantings. Approval to plant
in these unseasonable conditions shall be acquired prior to execution. Proposed plantings shall be
placed to the extent possible when conditions are optimal for their long-term viability.
