§ 9-305. Minimum standards for yard and landscape areas.

(a)

No yard, landscape area, or growth of landscape material shall so encroach upon the public right-of-way as to hinder safe and convenient vehicular or pedestrian movement in the public right-of-way.

(b)

The owner, tenant and their agent, if any, shall be jointly and severally responsible for the proper maintenance and protection of landscaping and irrigation systems existing or hereafter installed. Maintenance shall include watering, weeding, mowing, treating, mulching, trimming, removal/replacement of dead or diseased plants and removal of refuse and debris on a regular basis so as to continue a healthy growing condition and present a neat and well-kept appearance at all times.

(c)

Landscaping shall be inspected periodically by the enforcing agency to insure proper maintenance. The owner, tenant or their agent shall be notified, in writing, of any areas which are not being properly maintained and shall, within thirty (30) calendar days from the time of notification, restore the landscaping to a healthy condition. It shall be a violation of this section to fail to maintain landscaping.
