When protected forest is removed on a Flagstaff development site, the Resource Protection Standards require mitigation to make up the lost forest value, rather than a simple one-for-one replanting ratio.
Flagstaff's Resource Protection Standards work on a point-based forest-resource threshold, not a flat replacement ratio. Development must retain a minimum share of onsite forest points; where protected trees are removed and the threshold is not met, the code requires mitigation, replanting, transplanting, or other measures to restore forest value, under Division 10-50.90. Replacement plantings favor native ponderosa and other species adapted to the high country's cold winters and short growing season. On rural county lots cleared for defensible space, no replanting mandate applies. Cities other than Flagstaff set their own standards.
Failing to meet Flagstaff's forest-resource threshold or the required mitigation on a development site is a Resource Protection Standards violation, enforced through the permit and code-compliance process.
