Councilmember Rose said he wanted to mention something which was not noted in the discussion last week concerning the Water Conservation Ordinance. "We have the flexibility under the Landscape Ordinance to waive the requirement for someone to put in a yard. If Council Memo ORDINANCES - (Continued) 10 8/9/84 they post a fiscal on it then they do not have to put in a yard during the period of mandatory water conservation unless they so choose. When we granted the exemptions the other day it really did not have anything to do with the housing industry. If they choose not to put in their yards, they do not have to.
