Victorville, CA Tree Protection: Parkway Planting (2026)

Sec. 090(e)(2), the streetscape design standards within the single-family design guidelines, split requirements by street size. On arterial and collector streets, the developer must submit a tree and plant palette for city review and approval, and street trees must be planted at an average on-center spacing not exceeding 125% of the subject tree's spread at maturity, using 24-inch box trees or larger, positioned so they do not interfere with driving visibility; landscaping along these streets is maintained by the City through an assessment district or by an approved homeowners association.

On local streets, the developer designates a species for each street, and trees must be spaced no more than 150% of mature spread apart, at a minimum size of 15 gallons, with root barriers required to discourage roots from invading the pavement; local street trees are maintained by the residential property owner directly abutting the tree or by a designated homeowners association, and irrigation within the right-of-way must meet Landscape Maintenance Assessment District detail specifications. Elsewhere in the same guidelines, Sec. 090(e)(1) bars trees or bushes from the sight triangle at road intersections, allowing only low ground cover, and the streetscape section requires a minimum of two rows of shrubs in planting beds, in 5-gallon containers or larger, spaced no more than 75% of mature growth spread apart.
