A.2 
Plant Lists 
 
The Staff Recommended Plant List was prepared by the City of Phoenix Planning Department 
staff with assistance from the staff botanist/horticulturalist in the Water Conservation and 
Resources Division of the Water and Wastewater Department. The list includes a combination 
of native and introduced plants that are suitable to the Sonoran Desert. Suitability includes 
drought tolerance and mature height similar to Sonoran Desert vegetation. These plants were 
also selected for their adaptability to the climatic conditions, lower winter nighttime temperatures 
and more frequent frosts in Area C.  
 
A Supplemental Plant List is included which identifies six specific development areas in the 
Desert Ridge project. In each of the six development areas, additional plant materials are listed 
that can be used to supplement the recommended plant list. Compliance with the Desert Ridge 
Plant List and the Supplemental Plant List will be enforced by the Desert Ridge Review Board. 
Tall palm trees (i.e., Date Palm, Fan Palm, Mexican Blue Palm) shall be located only in the 
Village Core, and resort areas;, SUPERBLOCK 3 DEVELOPMENT PARCELS, AND parcels 
4RH and 5A.
