Board backs simpler tree‑count formula and clearer buffer table in LDC amendment

The board recommended approval of LDC 26‑001, a text amendment that simplifies tree‑planting calculations (a per‑square‑foot approach with a 15‑tree cap) and revises the buffer table to clarify which side is 'proposed' vs. 'adjacent' and to remove an unintended buffering requirement for single‑family lots; the motion passed 6–0.
