I read the story this evening in the latest issue of LASN about the recently revised Baton Rouge, Landscape Code.
I am pleased to report to you the ordinance went in to effect November 14 as scheduled and is at work making Baton Rouge a greener city. Certainly there was some disappointment on the part of a few commercial construction companies as reported in ?EUR??,,????'??Landscape Ordinance Causes Riff?EUR??,,????'?? in Vol. 19, Number 11 of LASN. But by far, the development industry as a whole accepted the changing zoning rules because it realizes the communities that succeed in the 21st century will be service sector economies that care about the environment. Smoke stack communities from years ago that consumed large amounts of land and natural resources are a thing of the past. Community landscape codes, tree preservation laws and land alteration codes will insure that nature plays a significant part in everyone?EUR??,,????'???s community. Developers, builders, landscape architects, engineers, city officials and citizens worked together to make the revisions to the Baton Rouge landscape code a success. That is the formula that any community should use when proposing changes to zoning that will protect, preserve and re-build nature in the city.
Keep up your good work on reporting on green laws.
