Titusville, FL Tree Protection: Parkway Planting (2026)

Titusville, Florida (Brevard County) sets a specific parkway or street-tree planting standard for boulevard-classified streets under Land Development Regulations Sec. 30-351, in Chapter 30, Division 10, Subdivision 4, Streetscape. Streets classified as boulevards must have boulevard trees planted at an interval of at least one tree per one hundred feet, measured between the edge of pavement and the property line, and Sec. 30-351(b) defines a boulevard, cross-referencing Sec. 30-240(b)(2)(e)'s uniform numbering system, as a street with a vegetated median running along at least fifty percent of its length.

These boulevard trees are a bonus requirement layered on top of, not a substitute for, standard landscaping: Sec. 30-351(a) specifies they are not credited toward the minimum landscape planting quantities otherwise required under Sec. 30-322(c). The boulevard-tree rule sits alongside a separate baseline for ordinary residential frontage: Sec. 30-333(a)(7) requires every residential lot to provide at least one boulevard tree, planted between the curb and the lot line, plus one front-yard tree, planted between the lot line and the front building line, even where the lot is otherwise exempt from the broader landscape-yard buffer requirements.

All boulevard and street trees must still comply with the City's general planting standards elsewhere in the article, including Sec. 30-372's twelve-foot setback from public works whose roots are known to damage roadways, Sec. 30-374's fifteen-foot clearance from overhead power lines, and the plant-quality and native-species preferences of Sec. 30-321. A qualified City representative inspects all landscaping, including street trees, before a certificate of occupancy or similar authorization is issued under Sec. 30-303(a)(4).
