600-20.1
The purpose of Chapters 600 through 640 of the UDO is to preserve and enhance the County's natural environment. This is accomplished
through the preservation, protection and planting of trees and other landscape material,
particularly those trees recognized herein as canopy and small trees, and the provision
of natural and/or planted buffers between dissimilar uses as part of the land development
process.
600-20.2
Chapters 600 through 640 of the UDO are intended to further the County's policy that all development sites
where trees are most commonly removed will achieve upon project completion a uniform
standard related to tree coverage, landscaping and buffers. In addition, trees are
recognized for their importance in shading and cooling, noise and wind reduction,
prevention of soil erosion, production of oxygen, dust filtration, fostering air quality
through carbon dioxide absorption, providing wildlife habitat, and contributing to
the aesthetic and economic value of real property.
600-20.3
Chapters 600 through 640 of the UDO are also intended to further the County's policy of encouraging all individuals
or firms who propose to develop land, and which are required to meet the requirements
of this UDO, to consider the use of water-efficient landscaping principles and techniques
(xeriscaping).
