Trees that are dead, diseased or dangerous2 ________ trees
Trees in proposed public streets ________ trees
Trees in proposed private access easements/tracts ________ trees
Trees in critical areas3 and buffers ________ trees
Total number of excluded trees: 2. ____________ trees
3. Subtract line 2 from line 1: 3. ____________ trees
4. Next, to determine the number of trees that must be retained4, multiply line 3 by:
0.3 in zones RC, R-1, R-4, or R-8
0.1 in all other residential zones
0.05 in all commercial and industrial zones 4. ____________ trees
5. List the number of 6" or larger trees that you are proposing5 to retain4:
5. ____________ trees
6. Subtract line 5 from line 4 for trees to be replaced: 6. ____________ trees (If line 6 is less than zero, stop here. No replacement trees are required).
7. Multiply line 6 by 12” for number of required replacement inches:
7. ____________ inches
8. Proposed size of trees to meet additional planting requirement:
(Minimum 2” caliper trees required) 8. ____________ inches
per tree
9. Divide line 7 by line 8 for number of replacement trees6:
(if remainder is .5 or greater, round up to the next whole number)
9. ____________ trees
1. Measured at chest height.
2. Dead, diseased or dangerous trees must be certified as such by a forester, registered landscape architect, or

are less than 6" but are greater than 2" can be used to meet the tree replacement requirement.
