areas. <br />5. Natural resource areas designated in the Metro Plan diagram as <br />"Natural Resource" and areas identified in any city - adopted natural <br />resource inventory. <br />(b) Tree preservation. The proposed project shall be designed and sited to <br />preserve significant trees to the greatest degree attainable or feasible, with <br />trees having the following characteristics given the highest priority for <br />preservation: <br />1. Healthy trees that have a reasonable chance of survival considering <br />the base zone or special area zone designation and other applicable <br />approval criteria; <br />2. Trees located within vegetated corridors and stands rather than <br />individual isolated trees subject to windthrow; <br />3. Trees that fulfill a screening function, provide relief from glare, or <br />shade expansive areas of pavement; <br />4. Trees that provide a buffer between potentially incompatible land <br />uses; <br />5. Trees located along the perimeter of the lot(s) and within building <br />setback areas; . <br />6. Trees and stands of trees located along ridgelines and within view <br />corridors; <br />7. Trees with significant habitat value; <br />8. Trees adjacent to public parks, open space and streets. <br />9. Trees along water features. <br />10. Heritage trees. <br />(c) Restoration or re lacement. The proposal mitigates, to the greatest degree <br />attainable or feasible, the loss of significant natural features described in <br />criteria (a) and (b) above, through the restoration or replacement of natural <br />features such as: <br />1. Planting of replacement trees within common areas; or <br />2. Re- vegetation of slopes, ridgelines, and stream corridors; or <br />3. Restoration of fish and wildlife habitat, native plant habitat, wetland <br />areas, and riparian vegetation. <br />To the extent applicable, restoration or replacement shall be in compliance <br />with the planting and replacement standards of EC 6.335 and rules adopted <br />thereunder. <br />(d) Street trees If the proposal includes removal of any street trees), removal <br />of those street tree(s) has been approved, or approved with conditions <br />according to the process at EC 6.320 of this code. <br />(8) If the subdivision results in a lot greater than 13,500 square feet in size, the <br />application shall indicate the location of lot lines and other details of layout that <br />show future division may be made without violating the requirements of this <br />land use code and without interfering with the orderly extension of adjacent <br />Ordinance - 373 <br />
