Pomona regulates tree trimming under its Tree Preservation Program and Street Tree Policy Manual. Trees in historic districts require a Certificate of Appropriateness before trimming. Street trees follow ISA pruning standards.
All city street trees, mature significant trees, and specimen (heritage) trees on historic sites must be pruned or trimmed consistent with the adopted trimming policies in the City of Pomona Street Tree Policy Manual and professionally accepted tree trimming standards. Trimming or removal of trees threatening life, property, or essential services is exempt from requiring a Certificate of Appropriateness. Trimming trees that block visibility is also exempt. The utilization of palm trees within landscape plans is strictly prohibited in certain new development projects.
Improper trimming of street trees or heritage trees may require administrative review under the Historic Preservation Ordinance. Unauthorized removal of significant trees may result in penalties.
