Tree And Landscaping Manual - Plant Materials
Tree and Landscaping Manual - Plant MaterialsPlant Materials and the Suggested Plant ListsGeneralPortland maintains several Plant Lists: Suggested Plant Lists for Required Landscaping are part of the Tree and LandscapingManual, and apply to landscaping required by the Zoning Code. Portland Plant Lists are primarily lists of plants native to Portland, but also include theNuisance and Prohibited Plant Lists. These lists were first developed for use in the city’sEnvironmental Zones. Street Tree Lists are maintained by the Urban Forester, and apply to trees planted in theright-of-way. The Zoning Code generally does not apply to the right-of-way. Stormwater Management Manual, maintained by the Bureau of Environmental Services.For required landscaping, you may use any plants not on the Nuisance and ProhibitedPlants listed in the Portland Plant List.The Suggested Plant Lists for Required Landscaping are intended to assist you in selecting plantmaterials, but you do not have to limit yourself to plants on the lists. If you select plantsthat are not on the Suggested Plant Lists for Required Landscaping, you must provide theBureau of Development Services with the necessary growth and spacing characteristics. Thecharacteristics must come from objective sources, such as books, manuals, or cut sheets(printed nursery information).Ground Cover Plants Ground cover plants must be planted to fill in the area within 3 years. Grasses can countas ground cover plants. Mulch is not a substitute for ground cover plants. Mulch must be confined to areasunderneath plants. Ground cover plants, except turf grasses, must be at least four-inch pot size when planted. The ground cover plant lists include plant-spacing specifications for calculating how manyplants are required.Shrubs Shrubs must be planted to meet the height and screening requirements within 3 years. Shrubs must at least the 1-gallon size at planting. The shrub lists include spacing recommendations.Trees Trees may be broadleaf or coniferous, but must follow any plant diversity requirements. Broadleaf trees at the time of planting must be fully branched. Broadleaf trees planted must be a minimum of 1.5 inches in diameter. Conifer trees at the time of planting must be fully branched and a minimum of 5 feetin height. These minimum requirements do not apply to trees used for mitigation, remediation,or restoration.PLANTSTREE AND LANDSCAPING MANUALP.1lu landscp manual3603/09/17
Tree sizesTrees are categorized as large, medium or small based on their height and crown spread at maturity and on theirgrowth rate. Many trees have already been categorized in the Suggested Plant List included as a part of theLandscaping Manual.If you want to use a tree that is not already on the list, give the Bureau of Development Services (BDS) informationabout the tree’s growth rate, mature height and mature crown spread. Objective information may come from publishedsources, Internet Web sites or from the nursery providing the tree like cut sheets. You must also tell BDS where you gotthe information.Trees sizes are determined according to the Canopy Factor, which is calculated using the following formula:(mature height in feet) x (mature crown spread in feet) x (growth rate number) x 0.01 Canopy FactorThe growth rate number is 1 for slow growing trees, 2 for moderately growing trees, and 3 for fast growing trees.The Canopy Factor isgreater than 90 large treesfrom 40 to 90 medium treesless than 40 small treesBDS will update the Suggested Plant List from time to time to include additional trees and plants.Other RulesExisting vegetationYou may use existing landscaping or natural vegetation to meet the standards if you protect and maintain it duringconstruction as specified in Zoning Code Section 33.248.030.D.1, and if the plants are not listed in the Nuisance Plants List.Existing trees may be used to meet landscape requirements if they are protected and maintained during construction.Each existing tree 1.5 up to 6 inches in diameter counts as one small tree. Each existing tree 6 or more inches in diameter counts as 1 medium tree for each full 6 inch increment. For example, a 19-inch tree would count as three mediumtrees, while an 11-inch tree would count as one medium tree.Selection of materialsSelect and locate your landscape materials to produce a hardy and drought-resistant landscape area. Consider soil typeand depth, the amount of maintenance required, spacing, exposure to sun and wind, the slope and contours of the site,and compatibility with existing native vegetation preserved on the site. Arborescent shrubs from the Portland Plant Listmay not be used to meet the tree requirement.Prohibited materialsPlants listed as nuisance or prohibited in the Portland Plant Lists are prohibited in required landscaped areas. Prohibitedplants include plants identified by the Director of the Bureau of Development Services or the City Forester as potentiallydamaging to sidewalks, roads, underground utilities, drainage improvements, foundations, etc.Exceeding standardsYou may plant landscaping materials that exceed the standards so long as all fence or vegetation height limitations aremet, including the vision clearance standards of Title 16, Vehicles and Traffic.Complying with the standardsIt is the applicant’s responsibility to show that the landscaping materials proposed will comply with the standards.PLANTSTREE AND LANDSCAPING MANUALP.2lu landscp manual3703/09/17
Tree and Landscaping Manual - Suggested Plant ListsSuggested plant listsThese are lists of suggested plants for use in required landscaping. The listed species are not required, and individualplants listed are not suitable for all uses. Successful plantings depend on planting the appropriate plant for the site andproviding water and care adequate for the plants to survive and thrive.No single plant is best for all situations. Evaluate the conditions at your site as well as the uses that will exist after youcomplete your development before selecting your plant materials. Consider the amount of light and heat, if people willwalk across your planted area (and ways to prevent it), whether the landscaping will receive runoff from roofs or paving, the possibility that low hanging branches or dropped fruit will interfere with pedestrians or cars, and so on.It is your responsibility to ensure that the plants survive. The most common problem is a lack of water in the first one tothree summers. Plants that die must be replaced.Q What are the Suggested Plant Lists for Required Landscaping for?A The Suggested Plant Lists for Required Landscaping are meant to provide information about plants for general use, and tomake it easier for applicants to select plants. They also help staff to conduct plan reviews and inspections.Q What is the Portland Plant List?A The Portland Plant List is separate from the Suggested Plant Lists for Required Landscaping and the Tree andLandscaping Manual. It lists plants native to Portland, and includes Nuisance and Prohibited Plant Lists. Usingnative plants from the Portland Plant List is encouraged wherever conditions are suitable.Q Do I have to use native plants?A Native plants are required only in environmental zones, but they are recommended for use throughout the City.Native plants are suited to Portland’s climate and soil, and they require less watering, fertilizer and pesticide. Nativeplants also provide habitat for native wildlife.Q How can I use the Suggested Plant Lists?A First identify the characteristics of your site, then select plants that match those characteristics. For example, if youhave a planter 4 feet wide, you do not want to plant a tree that requires an 8-foot wide planter. Also, many parkinglots have a lot of reflected heat in the summer, so in a parking lot you will probably want to use a drought-tolerantplant that tolerates full sun.Q What if I want to use a plant that is not on the lists?A You must include information about the plant size and spacing requirements when you submit your plans. Theinformation may come from a commonly available reference, such as the Sunset Western Garden Book, or the Manual ofWoody Landscape Plants by M. A. Dirr, from a Web site or from a nursery, wherever it comes from, you must indicatethe source of the information. It is your responsibility to demonstrate that the Zoning Code’s planting and spacingrequirements will be met.You may propose to use any plant that is not on the Portland Nuisance and Prohibited Plant Lists.Q If I use a tree that is not on the list, how do I know what size it is?A Trees are categorized by size according to the Canopy Factor, which is calculated using the following formula:(mature height in feet) x (mature crown spread in feet) x (growth rate number) x 0.01 Canopy FactorThe growth rate number equals 1 for slow growing trees, 2 for moderately growing trees, and 3 for fast growingtrees. The Canopy Factor for large trees is greater than 90, for medium trees is from 40 to 90, and for small trees isless than 40.To find out how big trees will become at maturity, check printed sources or the Internet.Q How are the lists organized?A There are four lists: the Tree List, the High Screen Shrub List, the Low Screen Shrub List, and the Ground CoverList. Plant characteristics, such as height, spread, spacing, drought tolerance and so on, are provided to help youselect appropriate plants.PLANTSTREE AND LANDSCAPING MANUALP.3lu landscp manual3803/09/17
