SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Trees during development process; conservation and replacement. Changes the timeframe for minimum canopy coverage for all localities from 20 years to 10 years and removes special provisions that had allowed for a timeframe of 10 years for the City of Williamsburg and local ordinances adopted prior to July 1, 1990. The bill provides an additional one-quarter times the canopy area credit for preservation of trees that are taller than 30 feet, thereby increasing the canopy area credit from one and one-quarter to one and one-half.
