The Geography of A Development Site

Green Laws Home Page


This diagram illustrates some of the common site zones found in landscape ordinances from across the country. The diagram places all common site zones together on one proto-typical site. No ordinance has been found that regulates the design of each site zone as seen in this illustration. Rather, the diagram brings together site zones from many ordinances as a method of examining the many facets of landscape ordinance regulation.
