Some types of trees, upon maturing, instead of becoming assets to the community, become liabilities due to structural weaknesses, disease or insect susceptibility, short life, destructive root systems, and rank growing branches requiring excessive maintenance. Due to one or more of these characteristics, it shall be unlawful for any person to plant in any street tree area any of the following trees: sycamore; poplar; willow; American elm; walnut; fruitless mulberry; eucalyptus; conifers; pepper; palm; acacia; and Modesto ash.
(Ord. 293, passed 1-23-1986)
