Currently, the ordinance is narrowly focused on tree <br />preservation, Council requested Staff look into whether or not the scope can be broadened to <br />include items, such as, landscaping or other green spaces. Modifications to the existing ordinance <br />were drafted and attached as Attachment A. The City Attorney has preliminary reviewed the draft <br />changes and believes it would accomplish the flexibility being sought. If Council believes we are <br />moving in the right direction with this language, Staff will finalize with the attorney and bring <br />forward for approval at a future meeting. <br /> <br />Budget Impact <br /> <br />N/A <br /> <br />Attachment <br /> <br />Attachment A: Tree Preservation Ordinance Proposed Revisions
