Pending Legislation
Residential Tree and Landscape Ordinance
Posted: January 12, 2012
The City of Clayton has developed draft zoning regulations to govern the removal and replacement of trees as a result of development or redevelopment of property located in residential zoning districts. The proposed regulations would amend the City’s zoning ordinance (Chapter 405 of the City’s Land Use Code) by requiring tree preservation and replanting of vegetation which is removed as a result of residential development. The public is encouraged to view these regulations and provide comment. Updates will be posted on this website, so please check back.
Public Comments
The City would like to hear from design and industry professionals as well as residents and business owners as to the sufficiency of the proposed regulations. Please direct all comments to Susan Istenes, AICP, Planning Director by e-mail at sistenes@ci.clayton.mo.us or by phone at 314-290-8459. Alternatively, you may attend the public hearings held by the Plan Commission and Board of Aldermen.
Below are two documents for review. The first is full version of the proposed code. The second is the schedule of events for review and consideration by the City's Plan Commission and Board of Aldermen.
