Section 5.5.1. - Purpose and intent.

This section is established to provide general landscape regulations, to improve the appearance of certain setback and yard areas, including off-street vehicular parking, open lot sales and service areas, and to protect and preserve the appearance, character, and value of the surrounding neighborhoods. The principles of the Florida-Friendly Landscaping Program with regard to planning and design, soil improvement, efficient irrigation, limited turf areas, mulches, drought tolerant plants, and appropriate maintenance are the basis for the principles in this section and should be used as guidance in all new construction and landscape renovations so as to provide the most green with the least water and create a landscape that can survive largely undamaged in case of short term water restrictions.
