GENERAL PROVISIONS
(a) In the interest of promoting the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of South Euclid, Ohio, these regulations establish minimum standards for the provision, installation, and maintenance of landscaped areas. More specifically, the purposes of these regulations are to:
(1) Improve the overall aesthetics and enhance the appearance of the City,
(2) Increase the compatibility of development with adjacent development and the natural environment,
(3) Provide physical and psychological benefits to citizens,
(4) Improve environmental quality by reducing noise, glare, storm water run-off, and heat buildup, and
(5) Protect and enhance property values.
(b) In establishing these purposes, the City has determined that any landscape not conforming to the regulations of this Planning and Zoning Code, or any subsequent amendment thereto, is a public nuisance, and as such, must be removed to be in compliance with these regulations. Nonconforming landscapes are harmful to the maintenance of property values and the public, and thereby create a nuisance and reduce effectiveness of landscaping needed to protect the public from the effects of erosion, flooding, processing ground water discharge, storm water runoff retardation, air purification, and aiding in noise, glare and heat abatement. The regulations contained in this Chapter are the minimum regulations necessary to abate the nuisance and to achieve the stated purposes of this Chapter.
(Ord. 41-10. Passed 9-26-11.)
