   (A)   In any nonresidential zoning district, no person shall landscape or cause to be landscaped any street right-of-way or portion thereof, without having first obtained a permit therefor. For the purposes of this section, the term "landscape" shall be defined as the planting or placement of any and all vegetation and/or the installation or placement of any other object or material whatsoever.
      Application for a permit shall be submitted to the Director of Municipal Services together with a fully dimensionalized plan showing the types and sizes of all landscaping proposed to be placed on any such right-of- way. If the Director of Municipal Services determines that the proposed landscaping presents no hazard to traffic and that the proposed landscaping does not interfere with utilities located in such right-of-way, he may issue the permit.
   (B)   Notwithstanding any provision contained in subsection (A) of this section, no permit shall be required to plant or install grass on any right-of-way. (Ord. 84-O-40, 8-13-1984; amd. Ord. 05-O-32, 11-14-2005)
