§ 68.502. General Landscaping Standards.

(a)

Protected Habitats. Exotic species shall be precluded from natural areas left as Conservation Use areas, and from landscaped areas adjacent to these features to the maximum extent possible. Management for these areas should be aimed at sustaining the integrity of preserved natural systems. Design concepts should be considered to prevent the encroachment of exotic, or nuisance vegetation into areas intended to remain.

(b)

Water Conservation Guidelines. Planning is the most important step to a successful water conserving landscape. All landscape and irrigation plans for non-residential developments, multi-family residential, public parks and open spaces shall be designed by a Landscape Architect, registered to practice in the State of Florida.
