Camarillo requires replacement planting when protected trees are removed. Replacement ratios vary by species, size, and location, with native oaks typically requiring a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio.
Tree replacement requirements in Camarillo are tied to the tree removal permit process. When removal is approved, the city specifies replacement species, sizes, and planting locations. Native oaks typically require 2:1 or 3:1 replacement ratios with 15-gallon minimum container size. Non-native trees may have 1:1 ratios. Replacement trees must be planted within 60 days of removal and maintained for a minimum establishment period. When on-site planting is infeasible, the city may accept in-lieu fees deposited into the city's tree fund for planting elsewhere. Developers clearing trees for construction must submit comprehensive tree replacement plans as part of project approvals.
Failure to plant required replacements within 60 days: $500 per tree plus daily penalties of $50. Dead replacement trees must be replanted within 90 days. Developers failing to implement tree replacement plans: certificate of occupancy hold and $1,000-$5,000 penalties.
