A.
Any
tree that measures six (6) inches in diameter at four (4) feet five
(5) inches above ground level shall be saved or replaced with a tree
with a minimum of six (6) feet zero (0) inches height above ground
level of the type that will reach six (6) inches diameter at four
(4) feet five (5) inches above ground level at maturity and shall
be hardy to this region. Up to fifty percent (50%) of the required
trees may be replaced with substitute trees or shrubs. Substitute
trees can be used on a one (1) to one (1) basis but only for up to
fifty percent (50%) of the required trees. Shrubs can be used but
on a two (2) for one (1) basis (two (2) shrubs to replace one (1)
tree) up to fifty percent (50%) of the trees removed. At least fifty
percent (50%) of the required trees will be replaced with full trees
no matter how substitutions are used. For the purposes of this Section,
the following definitions shall apply.
1.
Full tree: A tall woody plant having a single trunk
that can attain a trunk diameter of greater than six (6) inches measured
four (4) feet five (5) inches above ground level.
2.
Shrub: Woody plant with several stems: a woody
plant without a trunk but with several stems growing from the base.
3.
Substitute tree: A woody plant having a single
trunk that cannot attain a trunk diameter of six (6) inches.
B.
The
property owner and their successors shall be responsible for the care
and maintenance of the replacement tree for eighteen (18) months following
the planting. If the replacement tree should die within the eighteen
(18) month period, a new tree will be planted and the owner shall
be responsible for a period of eighteen (18) months following the
date of the last planting.
C.
It
shall be the responsibility of the property owner to submit a plan
that shall give the location and count of all existing trees six (6)
inches in diameter or larger measured at four (4) feet five (5) inches
above ground level or sites that are proposed for removal and the
location of planned requirements. If no plan is submitted, trees must
be replaced at a rate of twenty (20) trees per acre and calculated
at that rate for the fractional acre. Up to fifty percent (50%) of
the required trees may be replaced with substitute trees or shrubs.
Substitute trees can be used on a one (1) to one (1) basis but only
for fifty percent (50%) of the required trees. Shrubs can be used
but on a two (2) for one (1) basis (two (2) shrubs to replace one
(1) tree) up to fifty percent (50%) of the trees removed.
D.

that are standing dead or severely damaged by termites, lightning
or other acts of God and are removed as a safety precaution are exempt
from replacement requirements.
E.
Where
land is cleared through the issuance of a signed permit and construction
does not begin within three (3) months from the date of the permit,
the owner shall be required to approximate its original state based
on the tree count submitted for the original permit. In the event
this cannot be done, the requirements shall revert to twenty (20)
trees per acre and calculated at that rate for the fractional acre.
Up to fifty percent (50%) of the required trees may be replaced with
substitute trees or shrubs. Substitute trees can be used on a one
(1) to one (1) basis but only for fifty percent (50%) of the required
trees. Shrubs can be used but on a two (2) for one (1) basis (two
(2) shrubs to replace one (1) tree) up to fifty percent (50%) of the
trees removed.
F.
All
newly annexed land into the City of Hollister will be subject to all
landscaping ordinances and requirements, retroactive for one (1) year
prior to annexation. In the event there is no record of the trees
removed, it will be estimated by the Planning Commission using the
adjacent areas as a guideline. In the event this cannot be done, the
requirements shall revert to twenty (20) trees per acre and calculated
at that rate for the fractional acre. Up to fifty percent (50%) of
the required trees may be replaced with substitute trees or shrubs.
Substitute trees can be used on a one (1) to one (1) basis but only
for fifty percent (50%) of the required trees. Shrubs can be used
