Landscaped areas and buffers provide visual relief and protect one land use from the adverse effects of another. Landscaping can also help to eliminate nuisances and conflicts between adjacent land uses or between a land use and a public road. For these reasons, the city establishes provisions contained in this Chapter 19.23 to regulate the location, extent, and maintenance of landscaping in all zones.
