REGULATIONS At the time of new construction all zones must be required to supply a landscaping plan for review by the Planning and Zoning commission or the city designee. The plan must be appropriate to the zone and must be submitted at the time of the application for building permit and must be subject to review and approval by the city.
Residential zones must provide in their landscaping plans for the placement of no less than one (1) deciduous tree per building parcel. The city review board may also request additional landscaping such as shrubs and border vegetation if this should appear to be beneficial to the entirety of the building plan.
History
Dates: an Iowa ordinance takes effect when it is published after adoption. Where the clerk's certificate records the publication date it is used; otherwise the adoption date stands in for it. "Not yet consolidated" means the ordinance amends this section but its new text has not been checked into this compilation yet: read the ordinance.
