Sioux Falls Permeable Soil on Parking Strips

Sioux Falls’s Code of Ordinances § 96.010 states that landscaping other than plant material is discouraged in the parking strip. Abutting property owners shall not use asphalt pavement, concrete, boulders, gravel, and other materials in the parking strip, except for when the parking strip should have sufficient topsoil depth to support vegetation including highly organic permeable soils which would allow deep rooted plants to grow and enhance tree growth.
