(A) The city street tree Ord. 293 provides for the planting, protection, regulation and control of trees in street tree areas.
(B) 1. It shall be the responsibility of the developer of new building construction to plant and stake trees in areas dedicated as rights-of-way. They shall be planted as approved in the tentative map and be of an approved type and size.
2. A minimum containerized tree size of 15 gallons per tree shall be required. Proper care and maintenance is the subdivider’s responsibility until this responsibility is assumed by the purchaser of a parcel. It shall be the responsibility of the developer or resident to replace trees and/or stakes due to damage or if plant ceases to live.
(C) 1. Street trees shall be of a variety on the master tree list of acceptable trees of the city. The acceptable trees are as follows:

2. Single-family zones: one street tree per parcel up to and including a lot width of 80 feet. Any fractional lot width in excess of 80 feet will require one additional street tree for a total of two. However, on corner parcels one street tree will be required per street lot frontage and any additional trees based upon the above lot width requirements.
3. Multiple-family zones: the city shall require for duplex, triplex, fourplex, dwelling groups, apartments and the like, a minimum of two street trees per parcel up to and including a lot width of 80 feet. Any fractional lot width in excess of 80 feet will require one additional street tree for a total of three and/or an overall formula of one street tree every 30 feet on center. (Note: additionally, on corner parcels the above criteria applies, but to both street frontages of the parcel.)
