In enacting this chapter, the City of Cupertino recognizes the substantial
economic, environmental and aesthetic importance of its tree population.
Protected trees are considered a valuable asset to the community. The
protection of such trees in all zoning districts is intended to preserve this valuable
asset. The City finds that the preservation of protected trees on private and
public property, and the protection of all trees during construction, is necessary �
for the best interests of the City and of the citizens and public thereof, in order to:
A. Protect property values;
B. Assure the continuance of quality development;
C. Protect aesthetic and scenic beauty;
2
3'c�
D. Assist in the absorption of rain waters, thereby preventing erosion of top
soil, protecting against flood hazards and the risk of landslides;
E. Counteract air pollutants by protecting the known capacity of trees to
produce pure oxygen from carbon dioxide;
F. Maintain the climatic balance (e.g., provide shade);
G. Help decrease potential damage from wind velocities;
. . For the above reasons, the City fnds it is in I
the public interest, convenience and necessity to enact regulations controiling the
care and removal of protected trees within the City in order to retain as many
trees as possible, consistent with the individual rights to develop, maintain and
enjoy private and public property to the fullest possible extent. . �

standards are broad. A licensed landscape architect or International Society of
Arboriculture certified arborist shall be retained to certify the applicability of the
standards and deve{op additional standards as necessary to ensure the property
care, maintenance, and survival of trees designated for protection.
Standards
1. A plot plan shall be prepared describing #he relationship of proposed
grading and utility trenching to the trees designated for preservation.
Construction and grading should not significantly raise or lower the ground level
beneath tree drip lines. If the ground level is proposed for modification beneath
the drip line, the architect/arborist shall address and mitigate the impact to the
tree(s). �
2. All trees to be preserved on the property and all trees adjacent to the
property shall be protected against damage during construction operations by
constructing a four-foot-high fence around the drip line, and armor as needed.
The extent of fencing and armoring shall be determined by the landscape .
architect. The tree protection shall be placed before any excavation or grading is
begun and shall be maintained in repair for the duration of the construction work.
3. No construction operations shall be carried on within the drip line area of
any tree designated to be saved except as is authorized by the Director of
