Landscape Requirements Clause Samples
The Landscape Requirements clause sets out the standards and obligations for landscaping work associated with a project. It typically details the types of plants to be used, installation methods, maintenance periods, and compliance with local regulations or design guidelines. For example, it may require the use of native species, specify irrigation systems, or mandate a warranty period for plant survival. This clause ensures that the completed landscape meets aesthetic, environmental, and functional expectations, reducing disputes over landscaping quality and clarifying responsibilities for both parties.

Landscape Requirements. Landscape designs and recommendations must be drought tolerant and be consistent with the objectives of the City’s Turf Conversion Rebate Program and include the elements of the watershed approach to landscaping, which are: • Build and protect healthy, living soil • Use rainwater as a resource through retention and infiltration of stormwater • Use climate-appropriate plants and group them according to water and sun requirements • Use highly efficient supplemental irrigation, when irrigation is necessary Landscape recommendations and conceptual sketches are intended to beautify neighborhoods, reduce runoff, and save water. When fully mature, the plant material will cover a minimum of 60% of the converted area. Tree canopy and plants outside the converted area are not considered in the calculation even if they are adjacent to or overhanging the converted area. For distinct areas greater than 250 sq. ft., the converted area must include a minimum of 5 plants. If existing tress are located within the converted area, the maximum credit toward the coverage requirement will be (1/4) of the total mature tree canopy (no more than 250 sq ft) for the existing tree(s) that are low or medium water use trees within each distinct area.

Landscape Requirements. Landscaping implemented throughout Reserve at Haw Creek shall comply with the following requirements:
a. Landscape Buffers. Reserve at Haw Creek is encouraging smart growth through best planning practices, two of which include substantial preserved greenspace and a walkable Community, utilizing shared resources to minimize pavements. As such:
i. Within the boundaries of the Community, no buffers are required between land uses. The Community was planned to take advantage of locating incompatible uses with existing natural buffers between the land use / zoning classifications.
ii. For parcels abutting the Community property line, buffers shall apply when abutting the shared property line.
iii. Buffers are required when a use abuts a property line that is a public right-of-way. Note, all ROW’s treated the same other than CR 65 and CR 80 as identified below.
iv. A two (2) foot non-vehicular access easement is required along the rear yard property line of a lot with internal access which backs against another roadway.
v. Buffers for Community boundary adjacency are as follows:
vi. Buffer screening. The landscape buffer shall provide a minimum six (6) foot high opaque screen within two (2) years through the following means:
1. Shrubs planted in a manner (typically triangulated) to achieve opacity. Any shrub planted shall be minimally three (3) feet in height at time of planting.
2. Plant size at the time of planting sufficient to achieve six (6) feet height within two (2) years from time of planting.
3. Fence or wall to provide the visual barrier. The finished side of the fence or wall shall face outwards and if a fence or wall is utilized, shrubs shall be planted minimally on the existing property side that achieves minimum height of four (4) feet within two (2) years of planting.

5. Any above method, or combination of the above methods may be utilized.
6. Trees shall be required to be planted within the buffer regardless of screening method utilized.
a. The quantity of trees shall be calculated based on one tree per fifty (50) lineal feet of buffer.
b. The trees may be clustered / planted in groupings, but in no instance shall there be distances between trees exceeding two hundred (200) linear feet.
c. 75% of the trees shall be shade trees, the balance may be ornamental, pine and/or palm trees.
