Estates at Cienega Creek Preserve Plant List Prohibited Plant List The following prohibited plant list is designed to protect homeowner’s vistas and eliminate highly invasive and allergenic plants, and preserve the desert character of the site. Key to Symbols A Accent Plan C Cactus F Flower Gc Groundcover S Shrub Sc Succulent (other than cacti) T Tree V Vine Reasons for Prohibition Skyline Tree: These are trees that grow to excessive heights. These trees will grow large enough to cast shadows that may block homeowner's solar access. They will also impede sunset views and change the natural desert skyline. Allergenic: These are plants that are widely recognized as being highly allergenic. Invasive: These plants are known to aggressively invade native habitats. They may also invade adjacent private property and create fuel for wildfires. Non-Desert Character: These plants are not in keeping the desert character of the site. They are prohibited in the front lot area but may be used in enclosed rear yards. Category Botanical Name Common Name T Arecaceae, Palmae, or Palm Trees Phoenicaceae
