Pompano Beach encourages native and Florida-friendly landscaping through Zoning Code Section 155.5203. Development landscaping must meet minimum standards including tree counts and canopy coverage. FL Statute 163.3232 supports drought-tolerant plantings. Invasive species should be removed. No mandatory native plant percentage exists for existing residential properties.
Pompano Beach Zoning Code Section 155.5203 establishes landscaping requirements for development projects including minimum tree counts and site landscaping. Table 155.5203.C specifies minimum development site landscaping requirements. FL Statute 163.3232 supports Florida-friendly and drought-tolerant plant selection. Native plants are encouraged as part of sustainable landscaping but no mandatory percentage is required for existing residential properties. Invasive exotic species should be removed as they do not contribute to required landscaping. Required landscaping must be maintained per Section 155.5203 standards including weeding, mowing, and pruning appropriate to the species.
Development not meeting minimum landscaping standards violates §155.5203. Unmaintained landscaping is a code violation.
