(A) Public property. Only native vegetation may be used in any newly developed, publicly owned landscaped areas within the town limits. Native vegetation shall be used to the greatest extent practicable in all existing landscaped areas. The town will strive to use appropriate native vegetation that is well suited to the soil, topography, and hydrology risk of the particular site.
(B) Private property. The minimum coverage of native vegetation in all newly landscaped private areas shall not be less than 50% of all permeable surfaces covered by the landscaping plan. Landowners of private property are encouraged to use appropriate native vegetation that is well suited to the soil, topography, and hydrology risk of the particular site. Additional minimum coverage standards may be set forth elsewhere in this chapter.
