6) Biological Resources Project Commitment #6 Oak Tree Replacement and Protection:
A preliminary oak tree canopy analysis based on aerial photo overlays of the proposed
project was conducted for the project site to estimate the total acreage of oak tree canopy
present on-site and the what percentage of canopy would be removed during project
construction. The canopy analysis estimated that approximately 32% of the oak trees on the
site are located within the proposed residential development footprint and that 68% of the
oak tree canopy will be preserved within open space areas (excluding areas of steep slopes).
In addition, oak tree replacement resulting from residential development shall occur onsite
and within the areas proposed for open space and deer/wildlife migration. The following
Oak Tree Replacement and Protection criteria shall be applied to the areas proposed for
residential development. Prior to final map recordation for individual development phases,
the following shall be conducted and included on project Improvement Plans: An Oak Tree
Replacement and Protection Inventory prepared by a certified arborist, registered
professional forester, botanist or landscape architect shall be submitted for review and
approval by the Director of Development Services or his/her designee, and shall be prepared
in accordance with the following:
a) A certified arborist, registered professional forester, or botanist shall prepare
