Delano Development Code §20.10.360.2.a(1) requires street trees on new development to be chosen from the City of Delano Approved Street Tree List. The Community Services Department, Parks Division (925 Ellington St., (661) 721-3335) maintains the list.
Tree choices should reflect the geographic zone (Central Valley climate, heat tolerance, low water use). Species selection accounts for sidewalk root impact, canopy spread, and compatibility with overhead utilities. Replacement trees must come from the same list. The list aligns with the city's water-efficient landscape goals.
Planting non-approved species can require replacement; permits for street tree work in the public ROW require Public Works approval.
