The action taken: Celina City Council amended the city’s landscaping ordinance for single-family homes, multifamily developments and non-residential areas at a Nov. 10 meeting.

Long story short: The changes will give homeowners greater flexibility to incorporate drought-tolerant plants in their yards while tightening restrictions on grass for apartments and non-residential areas.
