• PThe IM expresses tree canopy goals in terms of total or percent canopy cover (percent/acres), but the City’s canopy tree ordinance is a linear measurement (caliper inches).

• In 2020, the City approved the University’s proposal to use scientifically based reforestation approaches in certain areas to better achieve multiple objectives and alternative compliance with the City’s requirements for canopy tree replacement.

• The alternative compliance meets the objectives of both canopy cover and tree replacement over short and long term.

City Tree Canopy Ordinance Caliper Inch Replacement – tree by tree, fixed in time

Alternative Compliance Caliper-inch equivalents by area, dynamic Provides net positive forest canopy, in perpetuity

Reforestation Forest Rehabilitation approved under development (e.g., tree rescue from invasive vines) OFF CAMPUS Tree Mitigation Banks Under development - University funds reforestation or forest rehab projects in offsite areas, advance of tree removals - Ledger of “credits” and “debits” kept to account for future projects DESIGN GUIDES HIGHLIGHTS LOWER-MID-UPPER CAMPUS

In the IMP, there is acknowledgement of the importance of architectural character in the different areas: • Civic Center • The residential Areas and Athletic Areas • East Campus Development • West Campus Development

It is important that each project contribute to the creation of an identifiable presence for each area of the campus, based on geographic location. reference to 5.3.2 Architectural Guidelines – pdf page 72 STREETSCAPES Campus Views and Vistas
