The property owner, and the owner's successors, shall be responsible for the maintenance of all landscaping, fencing, and screening materials required by this chapter, or as required under the terms of other development approvals, and shown on an approved landscape plan. Failure to maintain such landscaping, fencing and screening shall be deemed a violation of this chapter.

(1)

All plant material and planting areas required by this chapter or other development approval shall be tended and maintained in a healthy growing condition and replaced when necessary.

(2)

All fences, walls, and screening required by this chapter shall be maintained in good repair and kept free of refuse, litter, and debris.

(3)

In the event that any required landscaping material shown on the plan is subsequently replaced, the new material shall generally conform to the original approved landscape plan, or an approved amended plan, with respect to size and characteristics of the plantings. In applying this provision, the degree and manner in which the existing landscaping on the site has grown and matured shall be considered, specifically the increased space required by larger, mature, existing landscaping.
