Sec. 9.1.3. Tree Conservation Required

  1. Tree Conservation
    1. Tree conservation area requirements by district are set forth below. The eligibility for tree conservation is based on the gross site area. The amount of conservation area required is calculated as a percentage of the net site area.
      District Conservation Area Required (min)
      R-1, R-2 15%
      All other districts 10%
    2. Any eligible tree conservation priority in conflict with a build-to requirement established by a zoning frontage is not required to be protected. Unless a zoning frontage exists, there is no maximum setback for the Townhouse and Apartment building types when a tree conservation area occupies the build-to area.
    3. Tree conservation requirements shall not apply to sites in the -TOD less than 4 acres in size. Sections 9.1.4.A.8. and 9.1.4.B.1 shall not apply to sites in the -TOD.
