ATTACHMENT B ATTACHMENT B 33 Lastly, in reviewing the February 10, 2020 City Council meeting minutes, staff noted there was a 34 desire to understand how other communities address cash-in-lieu requirements in tree preservation 35 ordinances. Because staff was not able to adequately address this question during the discussion, staff 36 prepared Attachment D in response to Council’s inquiry. 37 P OLICY O BJECTIVE 38 The City of Roseville recognizes that trees are a significant element of the community given their 39 beauty, their importance to the environment, and their positive impact on property values. The purpose 40 of Chapter 1011.04, Tree Preservation and Restoration, is to ensure trees are protected when they are 41 most vulnerable, establish reasonable requirements for replacement of trees lost due to development, 42 incentivize the protection and planting of trees at all times, institute plan requirements to ensure tree 43 loss can be identified prior to development, that adequate replacement plantings will occur following 44 land disturbances, and to provide for fair, effective, and consistent enforcement of tree preservation 45 requirements. 46 B UDGET I MPLICATIONS 47 Staff does not expect substantive budget implications should the Council wish to reduce the cash-in- 48 lieu cap to 5% of the assessed land value for single family homes. This is because the cash-in-lieu cap 49 is estimated to be applied once a year. Further, none of this revenue is budgeted. Examples of what 50 this reduction equates to across different single family lots in Roseville is illustrated on Attachment 51 B. While the holistic impact is deemed non-substantive, the impact to the affected individual property 52 owner is significant. 53 S TAFF R ECOMMENDATION 54 Review the draft Ordinance to determine if it reflects the direction previously given to staff. Direct 55 the Planning Commission to hold a public hearing regarding amendments to City Code Section 56 1011.04.J.8 that decreases the maximum cash-in-lieu fee to 5% of assessed land value for single family 57 lots. 58 R EQUESTED C OUNCIL A CTION 59 Review the draft Ordinance to determine if it reflects the direction previously given to staff.
