Anaheim may require replacement planting as a condition of specimen tree removal permits under AMC 18.18.040. Replacement species and quantities are determined by the Planning Commission. Street tree replacement follows the Official Tree Species List.
When the Planning Commission approves a Specimen Tree Removal Permit under AMC 18.18.040, replacement planting may be required as a condition. The number and species of replacement trees are determined based on the significance of the removed tree. The application must include the location and identity of proposed replacement trees. AMC 13.12.030 establishes an Official Tree Species List for approved street tree varieties. Replacement street trees must come from the approved list and be compatible with the planting location. Trees required under landscape plans per AMC 18.46.030 that die must be replaced within a specified timeframe. Replacement trees must be of adequate size to establish growth and maintained with irrigation until established. The city's landscape guidelines provide specifications for tree planting including root ball preparation, staking, and initial maintenance.
Failure to plant required replacements: code enforcement notice. Dead replacement trees not replanted: landscape bond forfeiture (commercial). Ongoing maintenance failure: citation.
