I don’t understand this. Does that mean I’m not a stakeholder?

A new tree ordinance was proposed in 2007 but was not adopted. We are currently using the tree ordinance written in 1990. It has been amended 3 times, most recently six months ago. The amendments were fairly minor. There is currently a petition out to pass a new tree ordinance before the unification code.

Did a new tree ordinance ever get put in place? I am thinking that might be part of this “unification.”

Most of it is unification. However, when you have this many separate codes there is bound to be some inconsistencies and/or contradictory standards. So when it is time to put it all together there will be some necessary adjustments to make sure all the pieces jibe with one another.

How much of this will be unification and coordination of current code provisions and how much is anticipated to be changes in the current code provisions? Are we gearing up for another attempt at creating some new historical districts, and new infill guidelines?
