Introduced by: Janet D. Howell | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Conservation of trees during localities' development. Amends current provisions that allow localities to provide by ordinance for the planting and replacement of trees during the development process. Such tree conservation ordinances shall include provisions for the reduction of tree canopy requirements or the granting of tree cover credit in consideration for the preservation of certain trees. Localities may designate certain types of undesirable trees that shall not be used to meet minimum tree canopy requirements. The bill also provides that the new law does not invalidate 10-year-minimum tree cover standards adopted by cities established before 1780, or 20 minimum tree cover replacement standards adopted by localities after July 1, 1990.
