Intent and Purpose. The City of Roseville recognizes that trees are a significant element of the 3666 community given their beauty (adding color and interest to the urban landscape, and being a source of 3667 joy and spiritual renewal for many), their importance to the environment (purifying air and water, 3668 helping to conserve soil and energy, reduction of noise and energy consumption, and providing 3669 valuable habitat for all kinds of wildlife), and their positive impact on property values (by providing 3670 buffering, protection of privacy, and a unique sense of place within neighborhoods).

Incentivizing the protection and planting of trees at all times for the benefits they provide; 3675 4. Instituting plan requirements to ensure tree losses can be identified prior to development, and that 3676 adequate replacement plantings will occur following land disturbances; 3677 5. Providing for fair, effective, and consistent enforcement of the regulations contained herein. 3678 B. Applicability 3679 1.
