Lodi requires replacement of removed street trees with a tree from the City's approved street-tree list at a minimum 15-gallon size, planted in a tree well at least 5 feet by 5 feet, under the city's Tree Policy administered by Public Works.
Per the City of Lodi Tree Policy, replacement standards for street trees include: minimum 15-gallon container size at planting; tree-well dimensions of at least 5'x5' (25 sf) or 4'x6' (24 sf); selection from the City's official approved street-tree list, with alternate species permitted only on written request consistent with city maintenance objectives. Replacements are typically required as a condition of an encroachment permit for removal. The City installs replacement trees when removing a tree at city expense for capital projects, with selection coordinated with the abutting property owner where feasible.
Failure to replant a removed street tree under the permit conditions is a violation of LMC Title 12 enforced by Public Works.
