§ 17.03 General Requirements

A. Permitted Plant Species: Table 17-2, located at the end of section 17.06 of this section, lists the various plant species that are allowed to be used to satisfy screening and buffering requirements. These plants were chosen because of characteristics, such as hardiness, growth rate, type and density of foliage, and mature height. Deviations from the listed plants are allowed if the replacement shrubs are similar in form or hardiness to a permitted variety and are approved by the City.

1. The size and location of required planting areas.

2. The estimated mature height of required plantings, both preserved and proposed.

3. The common and scientific names of any required shrubs, including any shrubs preserved in lieu of new plantings.

4. On the plan, preserved shrubs must be distinguished from new shrubs.
