When protected oak removal is permitted, Fresno County typically requires 3:1 replacement mitigation with in-kind native species. Oak woodland mitigation follows AB 242 and CEQA guidelines.
Fresno County's oak tree preservation provisions require replacement planting for permitted removal of valley oak, blue oak, and coast live oak. Typical ratio: 3 new native oaks planted for each protected oak removed, with 5-year survival monitoring. In-lieu fees may be accepted for large developments. AB 242 establishes oak woodlands as CEQA resources, requiring mitigation at the project level. Mitigation can occur on-site or at approved mitigation banks. Developer must post performance bond for monitoring period.
Failure to meet replacement requirements: bond forfeiture; project approval revocation. In-lieu fee non-payment: permit revocation.
