Gwinnett UDO requires tree density replacement on development sites measured in tree save units or caliper inches. Minimum densities vary by zoning district; specimen tree removal triggers enhanced replacement ratios.
Gwinnett County's tree density standards require each developed property to maintain a minimum number of tree units (each unit calculated from tree size/species value) per acre. Removed trees must be replaced at prescribed ratios, with higher ratios for specimen trees. Typical residential/commercial post-development density benchmarks range 15-20 tree units per acre. Credit is given for preserved existing trees, which incentivizes retention over clear-and-replant.
