(a) All tree landscaping and planting screens required by this Zoning Code shall be installed prior to occupancy or commencement of use. Where compliance with the preceding sentence is not possible because of the season of the year, the Zoning Inspector shall grant an appropriate delay, but shall issue no permanent zoning compliance permit or certificate of occupancy until completion of all required plantings. Any zoning compliance permit or certificate of occupancy may be revoked, after 30 days written notice to the person assessed for taxes on the affected lot and to the occupant, whenever planting screens or required tree plantings are not maintained as required in this Zoning Code.
(b) Maintenance. All required landscaping shall be maintained in a presentable condition, and shall be kept free from refuse and debris; provided further that all plant materials shall be continuously maintained in a sound, healthy and vigorous growing condition, and shall be kept free of plant diseases and insect pests. All unhealthy and dead plant material shall be replaced within one year of damage or death or the next appropriate planting period, whichever comes first.
