Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages
(This checklist will he updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page -for -page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation many
pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine
whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects
the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters
"OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as
published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the
Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number
printed on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling
an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

C. Use of Native and Drought Resistant Plants: Wherever feasible and
environmentally beneficial, landscape designs should feature native and/or
drought -tolerant plant species, especially in areas adjacent to existing native
vegetation, to take advantage of the unique natural character and diversity of
the region, and the adaptability of native plants to local environmental
conditions. Where feasible, the re-establishment of native habitats should be
incorporated into the landscape design. In the same manner, landscape designs
are encouraged to utilize drought tolerant plant materials to the maximum
extent feasible. The use of drought tolerant plants should enrich the existing
landscape character, conserve water and energy, and provide as pleasant and
varied a visual appearance as plants that require more water.
The Board of County Commissioners may condition the approval of any resort with
more stringent or restrictive landscape requirements in order to ensure compat-
ibility with surrounding land uses.

compatibility with surrounding land uses and the speed limit of the road or roads
which the sign(s) faces.
