§9229.7 REQUIRED STREET TREES — Ukiah Zoning Code

Table 21: Required Street Trees for Primary Streets, identifies the tree species that are required to be planted on specific primary streets. Considerations for selection of the species to be planted include site constraints, such as root confinement, overhead wires, canopies, and other street trees in the area. The intent is to create a unifying theme consistent with the street tree design principles included in section 9229.5 of this code by limiting the number of tree species, thereby creating a distinct identity for each primary street included in Table 21. As noted in Table 21, for most streets there is one tree identified to be used at intersections and opportunities to select from several species for planting within the block.
