Reasons for Prohibition
Skyline Tree
These are trees that grow to excessive heights. These trees will grow
large enough to cast shadows that may block homeowner's solar access.
They will also impede sunset views and change the natural desert skyline.
Allergenic
These are plants that are widely recognized as being highly allergenic.
Invasive
These plants are known to aggressively invade native habitats. They may
also invade adjacent private property and create fuel for wildfires.
Non-Desert Character
These plants are not in keeping the desert character of the site. They
are prohibited in the front lot area but may be used in enclosed rear
yards.
