RESOLUTION NO. 2001-031 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING A REVISED TREE LIST FOR THE CITY'S DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS BK: 4/11/01 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS; SECTION 1. The City Council hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: From time to time, the City has adopted and revised design and development standards to apply to new development within the City. B. Typically, these design and development standards are adopted by resolution, following the recommendation of the City's Planning Commission. The City's Planning Commission has, after a full and complete review, recommended that the City Council adopt revised design and development standards relating to the name, type, height spread of trees to be planted in streets, parks, residential developments, and under utility lines. The proposed revised tree list consists of four separate categories: (1) a general list; (2) palm trees; (3) limited or restricted use trees; and (4) potential trees with limited availability. The Council finds that the existing tree list is outdated and offers incomplete information regarding trees that are suitable for use in proposed new developments. In addition, some species of trees on the current list have proved to pose potential problems that no longer make them desirable for general use. SECTION 2. The revised tree list attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is hereby approved and adopted as part of the City's design and development standards, and shall be made regularly available by the City's Planning and Building Agency. ADOPTED this 16th day of April, 2001. ATTEST: ~ ~et rrikC icaf tEl~ eH~oal~Yn cil Resolution No. 2001-031 Page 1 of 2
