The purpose of the landscaping regulations are to provide standards that will protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the public, preserve property values, and improve the appearance of the community by preserving natural resources and maintaining ecological balance. These regulations will establish procedures for the design, installation, and maintenance of the community's public and private landscapes through water efficient landscaping with the least degradation or disruption to the ground, water, and air. These regulations will preserve Sunset Valley's unique character and enhance development and redevelopment by quality landscape design that:
(A) Reinforces the identity of the community, enhancing Sunset Valley's nature based values;
(B) Provides tree canopies within parking areas to reduce heat island effects;
(C) Anchors development within the landscape;
(D) Is environmentally sensitive by preserving and replenishing existing native plant communities, using water conservation techniques, and enhancing valuable habitat.
