Bill Summary
AN ACT IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA To amend, on an emergency basis, the Urban Forest Preservation Amendment Act of 2002 to exempt Heritage Trees located in Lots 865, 866, 867, 868, and 869 in Square 5056 of the Parkside mixed-use economic development project from Heritage Tree removal requirements.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Urban Forest Preservation Act of 2002 to create a specific exemption for Heritage Trees located in certain lots (865, 866, 867, 868, and 869) within Square 5056 of a mixed-use economic development project. The exemption applies specifically to lots where the Zoning Commission approved a planned unit development prior to July 1, 2016. While these Heritage Trees can now be removed without standard preservation requirements, developers must pay a fee for each tree removed at the rate applicable to special trees. The bill is an emergency act, meaning it will only remain in effect for 90 days after approval by the Mayor, and is part of a planned development project that appears to require the removal of some existing Heritage Trees to proceed with construction.
