(A) Generally. Prior to or simultaneous with the submission of the final site plan, or the issuance of a site disturbance permit, a landowner or his or her representative shall submit a landscape plan to the appropriate local government staff. The landscape plan must be prepared by a licensed design professional, unless the site plan or site disturbance permit covers only one single-family dwelling. At a minimum, except as otherwise specifically provided, the landscape plan shall show the name and address of the development, the boundaries of each parcel covered by the plan, the areas of landscaping, the area and present zoning of each parcel, the name and address of the owner of record and of the applicant, the date, the scale (which shall be 50 feet to the inch or larger), the north point, the number of sheets (with a common sheet showing the entire development if more than one sheet is required), the location of all stormwater management and drainage easements and facilities, and the topography with a maximum two-foot contour intervals within all landscaped areas. The staff shall review and either approve or deny the landscape plan.
(B) Single-family residence landscape plan requirements.
(1) The developer or owner of a single-family residence subject to this subchapter shall submit a landscape plan that includes a drawing of the proposed landscaped area, a list of each species of native plant to be installed, and the quantities of each species of plant to be installed in each landscape category listed in § 155.083(A).
(2) However, a landscape plan submitted solely in relation to the removal of native trees under § 155.088 may instead provide a photograph of the existing tree and a sketch showing the location of any replacements.
(C) Multifamily, business, or municipal landscape plan requirements. An applicant for development or modification of a multifamily, business, or municipal site shall submit a landscape plan. The landscape plan shall include: the name, address, and phone number of the landscape designer; graphic symbols for all new and existing vegetation, labeled by name; a legend that indicates sizes, quantity, and spacing of all vegetation; and a graphic representation of the irrigation system, if any.
