Staff to bring hazardous‑tree and tree‑replacement code edits to public hearing
Summary
Planning staff said they completed edits to Title 8 and Title 18 to resolve conflicting language on hazardous tree removal and authority; commissioners indicated readiness to proceed to a public hearing.
Planning staff presented updates to hazardous‑tree language intended to reconcile conflicts in the existing code and clarify staff responsibilities for hazardous‑tree determinations.
Staff said the proposed edits to Title 8 and Title 18 were refined based on prior public input and commissioner feedback; staff thanked Commissioner Guillory for specific suggestions that led to clarifications. The package would identify which positions have authority to make hazardous‑tree determinations and remove ambiguous language that had caused enforcement uncertainty.
Commissioners indicated they were comfortable moving to a public hearing on the revised code language. Staff said they would schedule the item for the next public hearing packet so the public can comment on the proposed edits.
Next steps: bring the Title 8/Title 18 hazardous‑tree edits to a public hearing for formal adoption consideration.
