§ 8.28.010. Intent and purpose.  


Latest version.
  • It is the determination of the city council that, in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the city, proper and necessary steps be taken in order to protect and preserve mature trees, especially where those mature trees are associated with proposals for urban development, or are located on hillside areas. This chapter shall be interpreted and applied so as to allow all economic development which is otherwise permissible under the city's planning ordinances and regulations, and not to make such development economically infeasible, but to preserve all trees subject hereto the removal of which is not reasonably necessary to the project.
