The proposal would allow artificial turf in some required landscaping areas where it was not previously permitted and align with State Code. The new chapter was adopted on April 26, 2023. Since the new regulations have been implemented, some sections have been found to need further clarification and modifications to better understand and utilize the standards. Additionally, changes to the State Code were adopted that limit the applicability of a landscape plan. The Planning Commission forwarded a negative recommendation. Other sections of Title 21A may also be amended as part of this petition.
