Public Meeting on Tree Preservation in Seattle,
Tuesday, August 15
The public is invited to attend a meeting to discuss
possible amendments to the Seattle Municipal Code which would preserve trees on vacant
land and land being redeveloped in Seattle. The proposals would not apply to existing
homes (residential development), but do include:
setting a minimum tree
canopy requirement for vacant lots being developed or redeveloped,
limiting tree removal on
vacant land not being developed, and
provisions on when and
how trees may be replaced.
Alternative proposals
will also be discussed. This meeting will allow the public and City staff to discuss the
proposals informally before entering the formal code amendment process, which includes a
City Council hearing.
Public Meeting
Date & Time:
August 15, 7–9 p.m.
Location:
Seattle Center Fidalgo Room (in the NW Rooms), near Warren & Republican.
