The purpose of this chapter is to establish minimum landscape requirements to enhance the appearance of developments, reduce heat and glare, control soil erosion, conserve water, ensure ongoing maintenance of landscape areas, and ensure that landscape installations do not create hazards for motorists or pedestrians. This chapter is consistent with the city's adopted Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (WELO). (Ord. 2010-02 § 1 (part), 2010)
