1. The Planning and Development Director shall review all applications and supporting data and take one of
the following actions: approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove.
2. The issuance of a tree removal permit does not authorize any development activity until such time as an
appropriate development plan approval is granted and a permit is issued pursuant to Section 1111.
3. Tree removal and replacement shall begin no later than 60 days after issuance of the tree removal permit
and shall be completed no later than 180 days after the issuance of the permit. The Planning and
Development Director may refuse to issue any permit for tree removal until the submission of all
development plans and receipt of other evidence satisfactory to the Director that there is a reasonable
certainty that the development activity is imminent. One renewal of a permit at no additional fee shall be
granted if a reasonable request is made.
4. No Certificate of Occupancy shall be issued until all requirements of the tree planting have been
satisfactorily completed or an acceptable performance guarantee has been approved (see Section 1130).
