SDCI, in consultation with the Office of Sustainability & Environment (OSE), has prepared draft tree protection updates to amend Title 23 (Land Use Code) and Title 25 (Tree Protection Code).

We are also proposing two draft Director’s Rules.

These updates respond to direction from the City Council to explore the strategies from Resolution 31902 adopted September 16, 2019 to increase tree protection to be consistent with the goals and policies of the 2015-2035 Comprehensive Plan and the 2020 Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP).

Notice: SDCI Extends Public Comment Period

SDCI is extending the public comment on the Department’s SEPA Draft to update tree protections to April 4, 2022.  The previous comment deadline was March 3, 2022.
