It is true that if the homeowner can demonstrate that the yard has 
native plants, rather than weeds, that they can not have to cut them 
below the weed height limit.

We had one resident come to a city council meeting with detailed photos 
that specified the species of each of the native plants in his yard. I 
think that the neighbors had complained because he had other trash in 
his yard.
