Preamble.
In order to safeguard the health,
				safety and welfare of the public and the state of Ohio, to maintain integrity
				and high standards of skills and practice in the profession of landscape
				architecture, the following rules of professional conduct, promulgated in
				accordance with Chapter 4703. of the Revised Code, shall be binding upon every
				person holding a certificate of qualification as a registered landscape
				architect.
The registered landscape architect, who
				holds a certificate of qualification from the board, is charged with having
				knowledge of the existence of the rules and regulations hereinafter provided
				for his or her professional conduct as a registered landscape architect, and
				also shall be deemed to be familiar with their several provisions and to
				understand them.
Such knowledge shall encompass the
				understanding that the practice of landscape architecture, is a privilege, as
				opposed to a right, and the registrant shall be forthright and candid in
				statements or written responses to the board or its representatives on matters
				pertaining to professional conduct.
(A) Competence.
(1) In practicing landscape architecture, a
			 landscape architect shall act with reasonable care and competence and shall
			 apply the technical knowledge and skill which is ordinarily applied by
			 landscape architects of good standing, practicing in the same locality.
(2) In designing a project, a
			 landscape architect shall take into account all applicable state and municipal
			 construction laws, zoning codes and other applicable regulations. While a
			 landscape architect may rely on the advice of other professionals (e.g.,
			 attorneys, architects, professional engineers and other qualified persons) as
			 to the intent and meaning of such regulations, once having obtained such
			 advice, a landscape architect shall not knowingly design a project in violation
			 of such laws and regulations.
(3)
			 A landscape architect shall undertake to perform professional services only
			 when the landscape architect, together with those whom the landscape architect
			 may engage as consultants, is qualified by education, training and experience
			 in the specific technical areas involved.
(4) No person shall be permitted to practice
			 landscape architecture if, in the board's judgment , such person's professional
			 competence is substantially impaired by physical or mental disabilities.
