Standard Plan Layout Sheet Requirements

Crepe Myrtle Use Change

Due to the excessive “topping” of crepe myrtles, this species should be utilized as a large shrub and not as a required small tree.

When crepe myrtles are topped, they do not meet the height expectations needed to offer shade and other attributes of trees commonly used along roadways, in parking areas and as buffers. In addition, they can leave ugly scars on the landscape and defeat the intent of the approved site plan.

It is not the city’s intent not ban the use crepe myrtles from use. This species will still be accepted as a large shrub, but will no longer be accepted as a required tree in any landscape plan presented for approval.
