§ 8107-25.3. General requirements.  


Latest version.
  • No person shall alter, fell, or remove a Protected Tree except in accordance with the provisions of Section 8107-25 et seq. If tree alteration, felling, or removal is part of a project requiring a discretionary permit, then the tree permit application and approval process should accompany the parent project discretionary permit.

    If a person applies to alter, fell, or remove a Protected Tree located in an area subject to an area plan or project related conditions (e.g., subdivisions and conditional use permits) which include requirements more stringent than the subject ordinance requirements, the stricter requirements shall prevail in establishing the conditions of approval for a tree permit.

    No provision of these Tree Protection Regulations shall be interpreted as permitting or requiring any violation of law, or any lawful rules or regulations or orders of an authorized governmental agency. Regulations of other agencies and jurisdictions that should be considered in the administration of the Tree Protection Regulations are referred to in the Tree Protection Guidelines, as adopted and as may be amended by the Ventura County Board of Supervisors.
