Tree Removal Permits - Clear And Objective Track Type II for Residential Development - Workshop

Learn about the City’s Clear and Objective Track Type II tree removal permit regulations effective as of October 1, 2026.

This workshop is led by Daphne Cissell, Associate Planner in the Planning & Building Services Department, along with the City’s Contract Arborist, Morgan Holen.
