*Tree Code Amendments Update
*At the November 20 and December 4 City Council meetings, public hearings were held regarding amendments to the tree code to further protect and preserve trees. Amendments include increased tree density requirements for new development, a decrease in the yearly allowance for single-family tree removal, new requirements to always require replacement for removed trees, and the establishment of a tree fund for instances where replacement is infeasible. After insightful public comments at both public hearings, the City Council directed staff to engage further with stakeholders and to consider their feedback in making revisions to the amendments. City staff will return with fresh versions of the amendments early in 2024. Community members can provide additional feedback by emailing Garrett Oppenheim (goppenheim@kenmorewa.gov) before December 31.
