Ruling from the Fourth Court
of Appeals District of Texas on Milestone Portranco
Development Ltd. v. City of San Antonio
"Milestone Potranco
Development, Ltd. appeals the trial court’s judgment
declaring that the City of San Antonio’s Tree Preservation
Ordinance and Streetscape Tree Planting Standards (the “Tree
Ordinance”) are enforceable against Milestone’s property
which is located in the City’s extraterritorial jurisdiction
(“ETJ”). Milestone asserts that the City’s limited authority
to enforce its ordinances beyond its corporate limits does
not entitle the City to extend the Tree Ordinance to the
City’s ETJ. We affirm the trial court’s judgment." May 27,
