TYPE “A” TREE REMOVAL PERMIT
A person seeking to remove one to three significant trees shall apply to the City of Veneta for a Type “A” Tree
Removal Permit. There is no processing fee for a Type “A” tree removal permit.
Application for a Tree Removal Permit shall be made before removing or transplanting trees, except in emergency
situations as provided in Veneta Municipal Code (VMC) 8.10.040.
By submission of an application, the applicant shall be deemed to have authorized City representatives to have
access to applicant’s property upon 24 hours notice as may be needed to verify the information provided, to
observe site conditions, and if a permit is granted, to verify that terms and conditions of the permit are followed.
Approval to remove up to three significant trees within a 12-month period, on any property, shall be granted if the
application meets all of the following requirements:
A. A completed request for Type A permit has been filed on the forms provided by the City.
B. The request is for removal of three (3) or fewer trees within a single twelve (12) month period.
C. The trees subject to removal are not Heritage Trees, or street trees.
D. The trees subject to removal were not retained as part of a previous site development approval or planted as
mitigation for a previous tree removal.
E. The tree removal is not to be performed in conjunction with a land development which requires a land use
approval including but not limited to Site Plan Review or amendment, Subdivision, or Partition approval.
Where the City determines that an application to remove a tree or trees does not meet the criteria of (A) - (E) of this
section, an application may be submitted as a Type “B” application. The grant or denial of the Tree Removal Permit
application shall be the responsibility of the Veneta Building & Planning Official.
