What are the tree removal standards for proposed subdivision or short subdivisions?

Proposed subdivision or short subdivisions will be required to demonstrate the following (see WMC 21.50.080 for additional requirements):

  1. The overall site must meet the minimum tree density credits required by the zone the property is located in (see the ‘tree removal on single-family residential properties’ section below for more information).
  2. The site shall retain at least 10 percent of the tree density credits of all existing healthy and viable significant trees within the property boundary prior to subdivision.
