Trees in Burbank – Should the County Require a Permit for Tree Removal? Supervisor Yeager Wants Your Input

Should the County require a permit for tree removal in unincorportated areas?

San Jose, Santa Clara, and other cities in the County require a permit or hearing before removing trees of a certain size. Should the County impose a permit requirement? If so, what should be the scope of such an ordinance?

A casual observation shows that wealthier areas of the County have large, mature trees and a healthy forest canopy. Besides their visual appeal, trees can improve air quality and help to lower temperatures resulting from the urban-island heat effect. Tree planting in the Burbank district has been limited by lack of park strips and the lack of planned development at the end of WWII when much of Burbank was built. Should we do more to preserve our existing trees, and perhaps even increase our forest canopy?

Supervisor Ken Yeager seeks input from Burbank residents about a possible tree removal ordinance. Click here to read Supervisor Yeager's statement, and for details of how to register your opinion.
