   Preservation and replacement of significant stands and single specified trees in Mountain Park is necessary to preserve the natural beauty of the Santa Ana Canyon environment and maintain the visual identity of the area.

   .020   Scope. Prior to approval of each mass grading plan for the Mountain Park Specific Plan area, a master specimen tree removal permit for the area to be graded must be approved by the City. The purpose of the master specimen tree removal permit shall be to document the number of existing trees to be removed and the number of new trees to be planted. If the specimen trees to be removed are located within graded areas as identified in Appendix C, Conceptual Grading Plan, and if the removed trees are replaced in accordance with Section 18.112.070.040 below, the tree removal permit shall be approved.

   .030   Application to Cut Down, Destroy or Remove Specimen Trees. Applications for authority to cut down, destroy or remove specimen trees shall be filed with the Planning Department on forms provided for such purposes together with a filing fee as established by resolution of the City Council. The application shall show clearly on a grading plan the location and species of the trees sought to be removed. On a separate diagram the application shall show the number and general location of trees to be planted. The actual planting of new trees is expected to be phased with the construction of the project. All final landscape plans shall be consistent with the master specimen tree removal permit. The master specimen tree removal permit may be amended in conjunction with the approval of any final landscape plan by the Planning Commission, provided the total number of replacement trees are in compliance with Section 18.18 of the A.M.C.

   .040   Replacement of Trees. Each specimen tree removed by grading will be replaced by up to four (4) trees from the City’s Replacement Tree List (Table 18-B) Section 18.18.040 in any landscaped areas in accordance with Anaheim Municipal Code Section 18.18.040. Each specimen tree removed by grading will also be replaced by additional trees chosen from the following specified list up to an overall replacement ratio of 20 to 1. Replacement trees may also be located in open space areas as defined on the Mountain Park Development Plan pursuant to habitat mitigation programs approved by county, state and or federal agencies. Final landscape plans will identify the location and number, respectively, of replacement trees to be planted consistent with the master specimen tree removal permit.
