Planning commission approves two landscape plans with requirement to use native trees

Peachtree City Planning Commission on March 10 approved landscape plans for the Primrose daycare at 110 Wilshire Village Drive and for an office building at 455 North Lake Drive, with conditions requiring substitution of non‑native plant species with native alternatives and additional tree sizing at the daycare site.

Planning staff told the commission the Primrose site contains 42,630 square feet of impervious surface and that city landscape standards produce specific caliper-inch requirements for canopy and understory trees. Staff said the applicant had planted as many trees as reasonably possible on the site and recommended approval under the city’s alternative compliance method for any remaining shortfall. “Staff is the opinion the landscape plan for Primrose School meets the requirements of the city ordinances and recommends approval,” a staff member said.
