All development containing parking of 10 spaces or more must submit a landscape plan to the Urban Forestry Division for review and approval. Landscape plans are reviewed in the order in which they are received. Each plan is reviewed for compliance with the landscape ordinance, and detailed review sheets are sent to the applicant if there is a problem with compliance. Once the landscape plan has been approved, the Urban Forester will sign off on the project.

Before the City of Montgomery will issue a Certificate of Occupancy, the Urban Forestry Division must approve the installation of landscaping for the site. The approved plan on file is used for the final landscape inspection. If the landscaping on site does not concur with the landscape plan on file for the development, a Certificate of Occupancy will not be issued, nor will a temporary Certificate be issued. Once the landscaping has been approved, a Certificate of Occupancy can be issued for the site.
