Full Breakdown
Under the Coordinated Development Ordinance's access management rules, no one may cultivate, plant, or maintain trees, bushes, shrubs, or other vegetation within a public right-of-way. A separate landscaping clause bars vegetation that obstructs visibility of a road or otherwise interferes with, obstructs, or endangers passage along the right-of-way. Property owners whose trees or shrubs encroach into the verge along a street must cut them back or remove them.
Violations & Fines
Code enforcement can order removal or trimming of encroaching trees and vegetation obstructing the right-of-way; noncompliance is enforceable as a CDO violation subject to citation.
