Landscape Requirements

The Landscape Development Requirements and Policies (LDRP) is intended for the landscape architect preparing construction documents in the form of Building Permit or Improvement Plans, or in preparing preliminary design documents in the form of a Site Plan and Architectural Review for review by the City of Fremont. Some items will require coordination with other disciplines such as civil engineer, planner, arborist or others.

The LDRP provides most of the City Code, State, and regional landscape requirements, as well as the City Standard Landscape Details for construction in the City right of way and easements.

The LDRP includes a checklist that is required with your project submittal. The checklist is designed to help you move through the permit process in the most efficient manner possible.
