SECTION 6: CHAPTER 4 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, Section 4.2-140 Street Trees is
hereby amended as follows:
I "4.2-140 Street Trees
Street trees are those trees required within the public right-of-way. The primary purpose of street trees is
to create a streetscape that benefits from the aesthetic and environmental qualities of an extensive tree
canopy along the pUblic street system. Street trees are attractive amenities that improve the appearance
of the community, providing shade and visual interest. Street trees also improve air quality, reduce
stormwater runoff and moderate the micro-climate impacts of heat absorbed by paved surfaces. Street
trees may be located within planter strips, in individual tree wells within a sidewalk, round-abouts, or
medians.
EXCEPTION: In order to meet street tree requirements where there is no planter strip and street trees
cannot be planted within the public right-of-way, trees shall be planted in the required front yard or street
side yard setback of private property as specified in the applicable zoning district.
A. New street trees. New street trees shall be at least 2 inches in caliper. New street trees
shall be selected from the City Street Tree List and installed as specified'in the City's
Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manua/. The Public Works Director shall
determine which species are permitted or prohibited street trees.
B. Existing street trees.
1. Street tree retention standards. Existing trees may meet the requirement for street
trees (Le., trees on the City Street Tree List specified in the City's Engineering
Design Standards and Procedures Manual with a minimum caliber of 2 inches) if
excavation or filling for proposed development is minimized within the dripline of
the tree. Sidewalks of variable width, elevation and direction may be used to save
existing trees, subject to approval by the Director and Public Works Director.
ORDINANCE NO. 6211
Existing street trees shall be retained as specified in the Engineering Design
Standards and Procedures Manual, unless approved for removal as a condition of
Development Approval or in conjunction with a street construction project.
2. Street tree removal standards.
a. Any existing street trees within the public right-of-way proposed to be
removed by the City is exempt from the tree felling regulations specified in
Section 5.19-100.
b. Any existing street trees on private property proposed to be removed shall
require notification of the Public Works Director prior to removal. Removal
of 5 or more street trees on private property shall be subject to the tree
felling standards specified in 5.19-100.
3. Street tree replacement standards. Where possible, any street tree proposed to
be removed shall be replaced with a tree at least 2 inches in caliper.
a. It is the responsibility of the City to plant any replacement tree within the
public right-of-way.
b. It is the responsibility of the property owner to plant any replacement street
tree on private property, either as a condition of a Tree Felling Permit or
when the property owner removes a street tree on private property without
the City's authorization. Any replacement street tree shall meet the
standards specified in Subsection A, above.
c. Whenever the property owner removes a street tree within the public right-
of-way without the City's authorization, that person is responsible for
reimbursing the City for the full value of the removed tree, to include
replanting and watering during the two year tree establishment period.
C. Street tree maintenance responsibility.
1. Maintenance of street trees in the public right-of-way shall be performed by the
City.
2. Maintenance of street trees on private property shall be performed by the
property owner."

an efficient and logical manner to keep pace with demand. Schools may be located in
any zone that permits schools. A unique relationship exists between schools and the
community, which requires special consideration when applying screening standards.

rear yards of 30 feet. Athletic spectator seating structures adjoining residential
uses shall be set back at least 75 feet, unless the Director determines that
adequate buffering can be provided with a reduced setback. However, in no
instance shall this setback (from spectator facilities) be less than 30 feet.
Parking areas shall maintain a landscaped buffer of 15 feet when adjoining a
residential use.
ORDINANCE NO. 6211

a joint use agreement that will provide for public use and continued maintenance.
10. Elementary schools shall have a maximum building height of 35 feet, middle
