Ordinance No. ____
Ordinance of the Council of Authorizing Work in the Baylands Related to the Adjacent Development at 2100-2400 Geng Road (24-PLN-00356)

The Council of the City of Palo Alto does ORDAIN as follows:

SECTION 1. Findings and Declarations. The City Council finds and declares as follows:

A. Strada Investment Group, on behalf of San Francisco No. 69 LLC (collectively, the “Applicant”), has proposed a housing development project located at 2100–2400 Geng Road that would redevelop an existing approximately 11-acre site currently improved with office buildings and surface parking lots with approximately 145 multifamily townhome units, including 19 below-market-rate units, and community open spaces, as more detailed in City Planning Permit Application 24-PLN-00356 (the “Project”);
B. CEQA review on the Project (including the plan in this ordinance) has been conducted and is exempt under CEQA regulation 15183;
C. The Project site is located adjacent to the Baylands Athletic Center (“BAC”), a City- owned public recreation facility within the City’s Baylands open space, which is dedicated parkland under PAMC section 22.08.020 et seq; D. Article VIII of the Charter of the City of Palo Alto and Section 22.08.005 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) require that, before any substantial building, construction, reconstruction or development is commenced or approved, upon or with respect to any land held by the City for park purposes, the Council shall first cause to be prepared and by ordinance approve and adopt a plan therefor; E. To comply with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the City of Palo Alto’s floodplain management requirements pursuant to Title 16 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC), the Project site must be elevated by importing soil ranging from approximately one (1) to six (6) feet in depth across the site; F. An Arborist Report prepared for the Project by HortScience | Bartlett Consulting, dated August 2025 (Attached as Exhibit A) identifies approximately forty-five (45) non-native Blue Gum Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) trees located on the southern edge of the Baylands Athletic Center adjacent to the Project site (the “City Trees”) that may be impacted by Project-related grading and construction activity; G. According to the Arborist Report, thirty-one (31) of the City Trees are in “poor” condition and fourteen (14) are in “fair” condition;
H. The exact number of City Trees that will be impacted by Project construction cannot be determined until final grading plans are prepared and implemented; I. The City and the Applicant desire to establish a mutually acceptable monitoring and replacement plan to address potential impacts to City Trees during Project construction, consistent with the goals of the City’s Tree Preservation Ordinance (PAMC Chapter 8.10) and the City’s Urban Forestry Guidelines; and J. Unless directed otherwise by the City Council, the City’s Urban Forestry Section and

NOT YET APPROVED
2 Community Services Department shall use the funds received from the Applicant under this Project to plant and establish replacement trees on City-maintained property east of 101 within a maximum distance of 1 mile from the BAC property.

Replanting efforts will focus on the area around the Baylands Athletic Center first and spread to other Baylands Open Space areas when additional sites are needed.

Tree species selection for replacement trees will include a minimum of two thirds (2/3) climate smart native species compatible with the Baylands habitat zone.

SECTION 2. The City Council hereby approves the following Plan under Article VIII (Parks) of the City Charter and PAMC section 22.08.005 for the removal of certain City Trees in the Baylands under the following provisions:

1. Updated Arborist Report Prior to Grading Permit
In connection with submittal of Project grading permit application(s) involving work along the shared boundary with the Baylands Athletic Center, the Applicant shall submit to the City’s Urban Forestry Section (“Urban Forestry”) an updated arborist report prepared by a certified arborist identifying any City Trees located on the Baylands Athletic Center property that must be removed to facilitate grading or site access. Upon application to and review by Urban Forestry, Urban Forestry shall issue a Tree Removal Permit under PAMC section 8.04.040 for those City Trees identified where the Tree Protection Zone is so impacted that the tree will be prone to become unstable or unlikely to survive and otherwise in compliance with the requirements in PAMC Ch. 8.04. The scope of Urban Forestry’s review shall be limited to making this determination. Applicant shall be responsible for removal of the City Tree(s) to be removed. Applicant shall notify Urban Forestry at least 14 calendar days in advance of any scheduled tree removals.

2. Monitoring and Reporting of Remaining Trees
During grading activities, the Applicant shall retain a licensed arborist to be present for any excavation work within the Tree Protection Zones of any City Tree. During active grading work, the arborist shall conduct monthly inspections of the remaining City Trees. Upon completion of grading, the arborist shall conduct quarterly inspections of the remaining City Trees for the duration of Project construction.

The purpose of such inspections shall be to assess City Tree health and identify any City Trees that either (a) pose an imminent hazard to public health or safety, or (b) are unlikely to survive as a result of grading impacts. For City Trees that pose an imminent hazard to public health or safety, Applicant shall notify Urban Forestry (including its on-call staff if after hours) and shall remove the tree after receiving a Tree Removal Permit or other City authorization, including over-the-phone approval for emergency issues. For any City Tree that is unlikely to survive as a result of grading impacts, Applicant shall remove any such City Tree following application and issuance of a Tree Removal Permit by Urban Forestry. Applicant shall notify Urban Forestry at least 14 calendar days in advance of any such tree removal.

NOT YET APPROVED
3 3. Tree Replacement Contribution
Prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Project, the Applicant shall remit to the City payment for replacement of the City Trees (the “Tree Replacement Contribution”). The Tree Replacement Contribution shall be calculated based on the canopy width of the City Trees that were removed using Table 3-1 of the City of Palo Alto’s Tree Technical Manual. The canopy width of the City Trees shall be based on the canopy width as measured in the Arborist Report described in Recital E. The Tree Replacement Contribution shall be $1,250 per each 24” box tree required. Urban Forestry Section and Parks Golf and Open Space shall use these funds to plant and establish replacement trees on the BAC property.

SECTION 3. Other Requirements. This ordinance serves as approval for the Plan described above for the purposes of compliance with Article VIII of the City Charter and PAMC

22.08.005. This ordinance does not fulfill any other requirement as may be required by law, including but not limited to: encroachment permits, grading permits, building permits, and tree removal permits. This ordinance does not waive compliance with such requirements and Applicant remains responsible for compliance.

SECTION 4. CEQA. CEQA review on the Project (including the plan in this ordinance) has been conducted and is exempt under CEQA regulation 15183.

SECTION 5. Severability. If any provision, clause, sentence or paragraph of this ordinance, or the application to any person or circumstances, shall be held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the other provisions of this Ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application and, to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are hereby declared to be severable.

Introduction and Overview
Carlson, Barbee & Gibson is preparing plans to redevelop property at 2100 – 2400 Geng Road in Palo Alto. HortScience | Bartlett Consulting (Divisions of The F. A. Bartlett Tree Expert Co.) was asked to prepare a Preliminary Arborist Report for the project site for submission to the City of Palo Alto. Plans depict proposed demolition of existing structures and construction of townhomes with associated service roads and parking. In August 2025, plans were altered to eliminate off- site work at the neighboring City Park. The subject report was revised based on the new plans.

This report provides the following information:

1. An assessment of tree health, structure, and suitability for preservation.

2. An estimate of the value of each tree.

3. A preliminary assessment of the impacts of constructing the proposed project and recomme
ndations for action.

Assessment Methods
Trees were assessed on October 22 and 23, 2024. Additional trees were evaluated on November 19, 2024, following discussions with the project team. Trees with a trunk diameter of 4 inches or greater located in or overhanging the project area were included in the assessment.

The assessment procedure consisted of the following steps:

1. Identifying the tree species;

2. Tagging each tree with an identifying number and recording its location on a map;

3. Measuring the trunk diameter at a point 54 inches above grade;

4. Evaluating the health and structural condition using a scale of 1 – 5:
5 - A healthy,
vigorous tree, reasonably free of signs and symptoms of disease, with good
structure and form typical of the species.
4 - Tree with slight decline in vigor, small amount of twig dieback, minor structural defect
s that could be corrected.
3 - Tree with moderate vigor, moderate twig, and small branch dieback, thinning of cro
wn, poor leaf color, moderate structural defects that might be mitigated with regular care.
2 - Tree in decline, epicormic growth, extensive dieback of medium to large branches, significant structural defects that cannot be abated. 1 - Tree in severe decline, dieback of scaffold branches and/or trunk; most of foliage from epicormics; extensive structural defects that cannot be abated. 0 - Tree is dead.

5. Rating the suitability for preservation as “high”, “m oderate” or “low”. Suitability for pre
servation considers the health, age and structural condition of the tree, and its potential to remain an as
set to the site for years to come.

High
: Trees with good health and structur al stability that have the potential for longevity at the site.

Moderate: Trees with somewhat declining health and/or structural defects than can be abated with treatment. The tree will require more intense management and monitoring, and may have shorter life span than those in ‘good’ category.

Low: Trees in poor health or with significant structural defects that cannot be mitigated. Tree is expected to continue to decline, regardless of treatment. The species or individual may have characteristics that are undesirable for landscapes, and generally are unsuited for use areas.

Description of Trees
Two hundred and seventy (270) trees were assessed, representing 26 species (Table 1). Blue gum was the most common species with 49 trees, followed by river she-oak with 43, and coast redwood with 33. While species like coast live oak and coast redwood are native to the Palo Alto area, none of the assessed trees appeared to be indigenous to the site. Trees were distributed throughout the entire site, with many lining the property boundaries and others grouped together in landscaped areas next to buildings. Overall, 53 trees were in good condition, 162 were in fair condition, and 55 were in poor condition (Table 1).

Descriptions of each tree are found in the Tree Assessment Form and approximate locations are shown on the Tree Assessment Map (see Exhibits).

Of the 43 river she-oaks, seven were in good
condition, 29 were in fair condition, and seven
were in poor condition. Condition was largely
related to available growing space and tree
structure. Most trees grew close together in
small groups. She-oaks in good condition had
good structure and vigor. Those in fair condition
had moderately undesireable structural features
such as a low live crown ratio and/or a
phototropic lean. Those in poor condition had
more considerable structural deficiencies like
old topping cuts. Development stage varied
from young to mature, indicated by diameters
measuring between 6 – 25 inches.

Eleven (11) redwoods were in good
condition and 22 were in fair condition.

Development stage was mostly semi-
mature with diameters measuring
between 17 – 35 inches. Redwoods in
fair condition often exhibited signs of
drought stress like twig dieback and
browning foliage. Those in good
condition had greener, fuller crowns
(Photo 2).

HortScience | Bartlett Consulting, Divisions of The F.A. Bartlett Tree Expert Company Forty-nine (49) blue gums were assessed. Forty-eight
(48) were off-site and had branches that extended into
the subject property by up to 40 feet. Trunks were
near the property line (Photo 3). Blue gum #24 was
located on the subject property. Of all blue gums, 33
were in poor condition, 15 were in fair condition, and
#23 was in good condition. Trunks were usually not
accessible behind the fence, and diameters were
estimated to be up to 56 inches.

Twenty (20) water gums were in fair conditon and five
were in good condition. Condition was informed by growing space availability, with those in fair condition being heavily suppressed by nearby buildings. Those in good condition had more space to develop good branching structure. Trees were semi-mature to mature in development, indicated by diameters between 7 – 15 inches.

Twenty-three (23) sweetgums were assessed. Most (20 trees) were in fair condition, often suppressed by nearby buildings and having structural deficiencies like codominant trunks.

Sweetgums #63 and 131 were in good condition, while #81 was in poor condition. All were semi- mature in development with diameters ranging between 10 – 19 inches.

Eight of the 16 river red gums were in good condition, six were fair, and #212 and 213 were poor.

Multiple stems arose from a single point on most trees at a height of between 12 – 20 feet. Trees in good condition were more vigorous than trees in fair condition, and had fewer negative features such as improper heading cuts or sapsucker damage. Poor condition river red gums had very low vigor and/or branch dieback and epicormic sprouting. Diameters ranged from 12 – 43 inches, representing semi-mature to mature development stages.

The 13 Raywood ash trees were
either in fair (7 trees) or poor (6
trees) condition. Multiple upright
stems arose from a single point
on all trees (Photo 4). Condition
varied with overall vigor. Fair
condition trees had denser
foliage than those in poor
condition. Diameters measured
between 11 – 21 inches.

Photo 3: Trunks of off-site blue gums were often
close to the property line fence.

Photo 4: Raywood ash trees
#101 – 105 (left – right,

Six were in good condition, four were fair, and #160 and 234 were poor. Diameters measured between 9 – 32 inches. Acacia #25 was located on the neighboring property, with branches extending approximately 7 feet into the project area.

Eight crabapples were in fair condition while #13 was in good condition. Fair condition crabapples were often suppressed. All had multiple attachments at a single point on the trunk.

Diameters measured between 5 – 10 inches.

Nine coast live oaks were in fair (6 trees) or good (#219 – 221) condition. Five oaks were (#219 – 221, 227, and 228) located off-site, and had branches extending into the subject property by up to approximately 15 feet. Trunks measured between up to 19 inches.

Six European white birch were in fair condition. Thin foliage was concentrated at the top of each tree. Development stage was young, represented by diameters between 6 – 10 inches.

Six glossy privets were in fair (#232 and 251) or poor (#214, 229, 246, and 247) condition.

Condition varied with differences in overall vigor. Multiple stems arose from the base of most trees, measuring between 4 – 8 inches. Privet #229 was off-site.

The remaining 14 species were represented by 5 trees or fewer:
 Five silk oaks were in fair condition. Four were semi-mature in development with trunks between 7 – 15 inches. Silk oak #223 was mature in development with a 32-inch diameter.

 Japanese maple #34 was in good
condition while #147, 148, and 154 were
fair. Individual stems measured
between 4 – 6 inches. Each was
located at the foot of a nearby building,
resulitng in asymmetric crown profiles
(Photo 5).

 African fern-pines #143 and 144 were in
fair condition. Diameters measured 16
and 13 inches.

 Mayten #95 was in fair condition. It had an 11-inch diameter trunk.

 Yellow willow #44 as off-site, and had branche s that reached approximately 15 feet into the subject property. Codominant trunks emerged from the base with estimated diameters of 20 and 12 inches.

Palo Alto Tree Protection Requirements
City of Palo Alto Municipal Code, Title 8, Chapter 8.10 (Trees & Landscape Preservation and Management), describes Protected trees as certain native species with a minimum trunk diameter of either 11.5 or 18 inches, and all other species with a minimum diameter of 15 inches. Species with high water use, invasive properties, or undesirable fruit are excluded. Of the trees assessed, species that meet exclusion requirements are black alder, European white birch, blackwood acacia, blue gum, Canary Island date palm, evergreen ash, river red gum, and yellow willow. All street trees and other public trees are also considered Protected, regardless of species.

One hundred and thirty-eight (138) trees meet the criteria for Protected status: eighty-seven (87) are large enough to be considered protected mature trees; 48 blue gums appear to be on City property at Baylands Athletic Center, making them public trees; two trees (#7 and 20) are street trees. Protected trees are regulated by the City of Palo Alto and cannot be removed without a permit. Replacement tree plantings will be required for the removal of any Protected trees.

Protected status of each tree is provided in the Tree Assessment Form (see exhibits).

Suitability for Preservation
Before evaluating the impacts that will occur during development, it is important to consider the quality of the tree resource itself, and the potential for individual trees to function well over an extended length of time. Trees that are preserved on development sites must be carefully selected to make sure that they may survive development impacts, adapt to a new environment and perform well in the landscape.

Our goal is to identify trees that have the potential for long-term health, structural stability, and longevity. For trees growing in open fields, away from areas where people and property are present, structural defects and/or poor health present a low risk of damage or injury if they fail.

We must be concerned, however, about safety in use areas. Therefore, where development encroaches into existing plantings, we must consider their structural stability as well as their potential to grow and thrive in a new environment. Where development will not occur, the normal life cycles of decline, structural failure, and death should be allowed to continue.

Evaluation of suitability for preservation considers several factors:

 Tree health
Healthy, vigorous trees are better able to tole rate impacts such as root injury, demolition of existing structures, changes in soil grade and moisture, and soil compaction than non- vigorous trees are. For example, many blue gums were in poor condition. These trees would not tolerate construction impacts as well as those in fair condition.

 Structural integrity
Trees with significant amounts of wood decay and other structural defects that cannot be corrected are more likely to fail. Such trees should not be preserved in areas where damage to people or property is likely.

 Species response
There is a wide variation in the response of individual species to construction impacts and changes in the environment. For example, coast redwood and river she-oak are tolerant of root severance and general construction impacts. Sweetgum is moderately tolerant. Blue gum is intolerant.

 Tree age and longevity
Old trees, while having significant em otional and aesthetic appeal, have limited physiological capacity to adjust to an altered environment. Young trees are better able to generate new tissue and respond to change. Most trees in this assessment were semi- mature or mature in development stage.

 Invasiveness
Species which spread across a site and displace desired vegetation are not always appropriate for retention. This is particularly true when indigenous species are displaced.

The California Invasive Plant Inventory Database (https://www.cal-ipc.org/paf/) lists species identified as being invasive. Palo Alto is part of the Central West Floristic Province. Blackwood acacia, blue gum, Canary Island date palm, and glossy privet have limited invasive potential. Mayten is on the watch list.

Each tree was rated for suitability for preservation based upon its age, health, structural condition, and ability to safely coexist within a development environment (Table 2, following page).

Table 2: Tree suitability for preservation.
2100 – 2400 Geng Road, Palo Alto

High Trees in good health and with structural stability that have the potential for longevity at the site. Six trees had high suitability for preservation: Canary Island date palms #22 and 252, coast live oak #219, river red gum #216, and river she-oaks #200 and 201.

Moderate Trees in fair health and/or with structural defects that may be abated with treatment. Trees in this category require more intense management and monitoring, and may have shorter lifespans than those in the “high” category.

One hundred and twenty-three (123) trees had moderate suitability for preservation: black alder #50, nine blackwood acacias, blue gum #23, cherries #68 and 74, Chinese flame tree #124, four coast live oaks, 23 coast redwoods, nine crabapples, evergreen ash #51, ginkgo #222, holly oaks #42 and 43, Japanese maple #34, mayten #95, 11 river red gums, 19 river she- oaks, silk oaks #223 and 230, southern magnolias #217 and 218, eight sweetgums, 24 water gums, and western redbud #3.

Low Trees in poor health or with significant defects in structure that cannot be abated with treatment. These trees can be expected to decline regardless of management. The species or individual tree may possess either characteristics that are undesirable in landscape settings or be unsuited for use areas. One hundred and forty-one (141) trees had low suitability for preservation: African fern-pines #143 and 144, blackwood acacias #19, 160, and 234, 48 blue gums, four coast live oaks, 10 coast redwoods, six European white birch, six glossy privets, Japanese maples #147, 148, and 154, 13 Raywood ash, four river red gums, 22 river she-oaks, silk oaks #231, 233, and 235, 15 sweetgums, water gum #139, and yellow willow #44.

We consider trees with high suitability for preservation to be the best candidates for preservation.

Retention of trees with moderate or low suitability for preservation depends upon the intensity of proposed site changes and the use nature of the site.

HortScience | Bartlett Consulting, Divisions of The F.A. Bartlett Tree Expert Company Preliminary Evaluations of Impacts and Recommendations
Appropriate tree retention develops a practical match between the location and intensity of construction activities with the quality and health of trees. The Tree Assessment was the reference point for tree condition and quality. Impacts from construction were estimated using a conceptual site plan (Geng Road Site, Dahlin Group and CBG, dated 7/25/25), a Tree Disposition Plan (The Guzzardo Partnership, dated 8/26/2025) and conversations with the project team (to date 8/28/2025). Plans are preliminary in nature. As such, this evaluation of impacts must be considered preliminary.

The site plan depicted locations of new townhomes and associated access roads. All existing structures will be demolished. Improvements would fill the entire site, property line to property line. A storm line is proposed off-site along the edge of the Baylands Athletic Center. No opportunities for tree preservation exist within the property.

Off-site trees adjacent to the project area will be impacted by the proposed construction including root severance and crown pruning. Impacts may be severe. First, demolition of existing infrastructure and landscape may damage trees. Second, grading, excavation, and other construction activities will injure trees, both directly by mechanical injury and indirectly by altering drainage. Most notably, a retaining wall is proposed at the property line on the north side of the site near a row of large, mature blue gums. Finally, existing branches may encroach into the site, requiring significant pruning.

The Project proposes to remove 207 existing trees within the project site and two street trees (209 total tree removals). The grade over the entire site will be raised, and no trees can be preserved within the boundaries. Of these, 83 trees are considered Protected trees by the City of Palo Alto and will require replacement (see Preliminary Tree Disposition and Estimate of Value table in the Exhibits).

Forty-five (45) trees were near the property boundary of Baylands Athletic Center and identified for potential preservation due to the installation of a retaining wall at the property line. All were mature blue gums, and unlikely to respond well to drastic site changes such as the proposed retaining wall and grade change. As a species, blue gums are intolerant of root impacts. The retaining wall is proposed immediately adjacent to the stand of trees at the property line. I expect impacts to be severe, and some trees may sustain impacts that exceed their tolerances. Until excavation begins or an exploratory trench is dug to expose roots, impacts must be considered preliminary. Disposition may change depending on expected impacts if preservation is not expected to be successful. I recommend reevaluating as designs develop.

Palm #22, blue gums #23 and 253, and blackwood acacia #25 were also located off-site at Baylands Athletic Center. Near these trees, no retaining wall will be installed. I expect impacts to be negligible for palm #22 and moderate for trees #23, 25, and 253. These four trees are identified for preservation.

The remaining 12 trees on private property bordering the site are also identified for potential preservation. Impacts may be severe, depending on the required root severance during installation of retaining walls and clearance pruning. Disposition may change depending on expected impacts if preservation is not expected to be successful. I recommend reevaluating as designs develop.

The Project’s tree removal requirements are a result of coastal flooding issues. The Project site’s elevation is currently between 6 and 10 feet above sea level. The site lies in a FEMA flood zone of AE-11, meaning that the site could flood up to 11 feet above sea level in a severe storm or high tide event. To mitigate this, the entire site must be raised to a minimum of 11 feet above sea level by importing 1 – 6 feet of additional soil across the site.

Exhibit A
Preliminary Arborist Report, 2100 – 2400 Geng Road
Revised August 2025 Page 10
The Project site is zoned for multifamily housing, with a portion of the site designated in the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element as a housing inventory site. Redevelopment of the project site for these uses is
not possible without the entire site grade being raised.

Consistent with Palo Alto Municipal Code Section 8.10.050 (d)(1), there is no feasible way to retain the protected trees without reducing the otherwise-permissible buildable area by more than twenty-five percent. Based on the Project sponsor’s analysis, there is no financially feasible design
alternative that would allow for retention of these protected trees in connection with redevelopment of the site for housing.

The Project will fully mitigate the protected tree removals with a robust replacement tree planting plan, prioritizing native species, climate-adaptive drought tolerant species (in alignment with Palo Alto Municipal Code Section 8.10.030 (b)(2), and 8.10.050 (d)(3)(ii)), and species that provide high quality habitat for birds and other wildlife.

Because the
plans are preliminary, there may be opportunities to reduce tree impacts. The ability to preserve trees on this site and along the edges of the property depends on 1) selecting trees with moderate or good suitability for preservation and 2) establishing a tree protection zone large enough to sustain tree health and stability. All plans should include surveyed tree trunk locations so that impacts can be accurately assessed, and adequate tree protection measures can be determined.

Once a design alternative is selected, impacts to trees should be revisited.

Estimate of Value
To estimate the reproduction cost of each tree, I used the cost approach, reproduction method, trunk form
ula technique, as described in the Guide for Plant Appraisal, 10th edition (International Society of Arboriculture, Atlanta GA, 2018). In addition, I referred to Species Classification and Group Assignment (2004), a publication of the Western Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture.

When estimating reproduction cost, the trunk formula technique considers four factors: size, condition, functional limitations, and external limitations. Size is measured as trunk diameter, normally 54
inches above grade. Condition reflects tree health and structural integrity.

Functional limitations reflect constraints to tree development based on the site and species. For example, the off-site blue gums along the north
edge of the property were crowded together, and
competed for available growing space. Trees in this row were depreciated for the limited growing area and proximity to the property boundary. I did not note any external limitations.

Based on
the information gathered, I estimated the reproduction cost for individual trees to range from $250 to $26,950, totaling $943,838 for all trees. The estimated value of trees identified for removal was $791,784 ($411,250 Protected). The estimated value of trees identified for potential preservation was $142,045 ($134,300 Protected). The estimated value of trees identified for preser
vation was $9,605 (all Protected). Values per tree are depicted in the Preliminary Disposition and Estimate of Value exhibit (see exhibits).

Tree replacement mitigation is
required for Protected tree removals.

Replacement quantities are based on
the average canopy spread of the
removed tree. Two options are
presented in the Palo Alto Tree
Technical Manual for Replacement
Trees or Alternative Trees (Figure 1).

Individual assignments for
replacement trees are described in the
Preliminary Disposition and
Estimate of Value exhibit (see
exhibits).

The project’s landscape architect will
use these ratios to inform the
replacement planting plan.

HortScience | Bartlett Consulting, Divisions of The F.A. Bartlett Tree Expert Company Preliminary Tree Preservation Guidelines
Trees on adjacent properties may be impacted by construction activities. The key to tree preservation is to minimize adverse impacts near trees to be retained. The following are recommendations for design and construction phases that will assist in successful tree preservation.

1. Reevaluate tree disposition as project plans progress.

2. The Tree Protection Zone shall be the project property line. The project’s security fence will serve as the tree protection fencing.

3. Off-site trees may require pruning to provide vertical clearance for construction. All pruning shall be completed by a Certified Arborist or Tree Worker and adhere to the latest edition of the ANSI Z133 and A300 standards as well as the Best Management Practices -- Tree Pruning published by the International Society of Arboriculture.

4. On-site trees to be removed that have branc hes extending into the canopy of off-site trees to remain must be removed by a qualified arborist and not by construction contractors. The qualified arborist should remove the tree in a manner that causes no damage to the trees and understory to remain.

5. Any grading, construction, demolition or other work that is expected to encounter tree roots should be monitored by the Consulting Arborist.

6. Enlist the project arborist monitor excavati on for the footing of the retaining wall along the north edge of the property. Once roots are exposed, recommendations can be made on management decisions. Overall dispositions may change depending on the size and number of roots encountered.

7. Enlist the project arborist to monitor off-site trees identified for potential preservation on a monthly basis throughout the construction timeline to monitor any changes in condition.

8. If injury should occur to any tree during co nstruction, it should be evaluated as soon as possible by the Consulting Arborist so that appropriate treatments can be applied.

9. Any roots damaged during grading or construction shall be exposed to sound tissue and cut cleanly with a saw.

10. All tree work shall comply with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act as well as California Fish and Wildlife code 3503-3513 to not disturb nesting birds. To the extent feasible tree pruning and removal should be scheduled outside of the breeding season. Breeding bird surveys should be conducted prior to tree work. Qualified biologists should be involved in establishing work buffers for active nests.

If you have any questions about my observations or recommendations, please contact me.
