Key legal question
Whether the plantings and garden on parcel 332 were subject to a building permit under Art. 22 LAT.
Extracted holding
Yes. The garden, espalier fruit trees, high-stem orchards and related equipment materially affected land use and landscape and therefore required authorization.
Extracted reasoning
The court applied its settled criteria for constructions/installations: durable, man-made arrangements that significantly change exterior space, land use, landscape or neighboring interests. The size, location, structure and cumulative impact of the garden and plantations made prior control necessary.
