A. Required trees and landscaping must be installed prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy or issuance of other necessary permitting prior to construction or development of the site. In the event it is not possible for landscaping to be completed at that time due to legitimate weather, supply issues, etc., the Zoning Administrator may accept a bond or letter of credit to ensure the installation of all required landscaping within six (6) months of project approval.
