Document Description
The project includes revisions to the City's existing tree ordinances. The proposed revisions will consolidate and repeal Chapters 11.04 and 11.06 of the Burlingame Municipal Code, and merge them into one Protected Tree Ordinance (a new Chapter 11.06). The revised ordinance broadens the definition of protected trees, updates permit requirements, establishes an in-lieu fee program for the City's Tree Replacement Fund, and establishes new findings and review criteria for permit approvals. The revisions will also establish new tree pruning, removal, and replacement requirements that are more consistent with current arboricultural practices.
