The purpose of these standards is to <br /> protect valuable trees and stands of vegetation, while not interfering with landowners' reasonable <br /> use and development of property. The goal is to minimize unnecessary loss of habitat, <br /> biodiversity and forest resources, and to replace removed trees in areas where tree cover is most <br /> critical. Unless specifically excepted, tree preservation and mitigation standards apply to all <br /> plats, site plans, conditional use permits, interim use permits, grading, building, and other <br /> activity that requires a City permit or approval. <br /> 1.
