The propagation, maintenance, and preservation of trees enhances the scenic beauty, increases property values, encourages quality development, prevents soil erosion, counteracts pollution in the air, and helps to maintain the climatic balance within the city. The council finds that establishing regulations controlling the removal of and the preservation of trees within the city will further the maintenance and advancement of these public values. In establishing these regulations, it is the city’s intent to preserve as many trees as possible consistent with the reasonable use and enjoyment of private property, to provide for a healthy urban forest, and to absorb carbon dioxide to help reduce urban impacts on global warming.
