A bill for an act relating to county and city landscaping regulation in commercial zones.
This bill prohibits counties and cities from adopting or enforcing regulations that require specific landscape designs (such as certain plants, materials, or aesthetic choices) in commercial zones. It directly affects local governments by preventing them from mandating these standards for commercial properties. The bill explicitly preserves private agreements between property owners - like restrictive covenants - as valid alternatives for setting landscape rules. It does not impact existing private contracts but limits municipal authority over commercial landscaping aesthetics.
