A. Maintenance of all required landscaped and buffer areas shall be the responsibility of the property owner. Failure to maintain plantings and other features of a required landscaped area in an attractive and healthy state shall be considered a violation of this zoning ordinance. Remedies shall include, but not be limited to, revocation of a certificate of compliance and the related certificate of occupancy.
The planning services division shall periodically conduct the inspection of all landscaping planted as a site plan requirement to ascertain whether or not the landscaping is still alive. In the event that landscaping has died or been removed, the city shall require their replacement. If compliance is not received within three (3) months of written notice to the property owner, appropriate steps shall be taken to secure compliance. (Ord. 2013-20)
