The post-development ratio of shade trees to the area of the site shall be a minimum of one shade tree per 3,000 square feet. B. Shade trees may include: (1) Protected and preserved trees which have a favorable assessment, and/or (2) Trees as required for buffers, parking areas, vehicle use areas, and building areas, and/or (3) Trees as required as replacement trees. C. When mature trees with a full canopy of 30-foot radius or larger, with a favorable assessment, are preserved on the project site, a credit of two shade trees may be used towards the overall shade tree requirement. D. Required shade trees shall meet the minimum size requirements in Section 6.8.10.C.
APPLICANT requests waiver for tree requirements to be waived or modified to allow less trees but larger trees based on inches.
LDC 6.7.9.C - Replacement trees
CODE states Replacement trees shall meet the minimum tree requirements established in Section 6.7.8.
APPLICANT requests waiver from pre-development trees. This site is located in the rear of WEC and is adjacent to an existing large parking lot, which has large trees throughout the area. The trees we are saving are large live oaks, adding additional trees will impair existing grass overflow parking.
