Planning Commission recommends tiered landscaping rules for Village Commercial lots

The Springdale Planning Commission voted unanimously on April 15 to recommend Town Council approval of Ordinance 2026-08, which would add tiered minimum landscape and open-space requirements in the Village Commercial zone. Director of Community Development Niall Connolly told commissioners the proposal would leave properties one-half acre or larger at the current 60% landscape requirement, lower the requirement to 50% for properties between one-quarter and one-half acre, and set a 40% requirement for properties smaller than one-quarter acre.
