Summary
A commissioner argued Hesperia's landscape requirements are over-planted, high-maintenance, and water-hungry — pointing to overgrown parkway landscaping at Silverwood — and suggested cutting requirements in half. Hesperia is also the only high desert city not requiring front-yard landscape plans for new single-family homes.
