Tree Planting Standards
- REPLACEMENT TREE planting must comply with all applicable requirements
of City Code 3.05, Division 2.
- Tree species should be selected for the type of REPLACEMENT TREE
REQUIRED (either the Protected Tree List or 20ft Tree List), that is applicable
for the planting space. For example, for a REPLACEMENT TREE species to be
selected from the 20ft Tree List for planting in a neighbor’s space, the space
must be within 20 ft of an above-ground utility line. For a REPLACEMENT
TREE species to be selected from the Protected Tree List, the space must be
farther than 20 ft from an above-ground utility line.
- Newly planted REPLACEMENT TREES must be watered during the dry summer
months (May to October) for at least the first three years after planting,
depending on type of tree. Trees should be watered slowly to penetrate the
soil deeply.
- Trees must survive for at least three years after planting or must be replaced by
the permit holder as agreed to below.
