Q6: Will the City fix the sidewalk that has been uplifted or damaged by a City tree? <br />Per state law, the sidewalk is the responsibility of the resident. Notwithstanding, the City will review each <br />case independently and make a determination as to whether a repair or replacement is warranted to <br />address a potential tripping hazard. <br />Q7: Are certain trees protected in the City? Do I need a permit to remove a tree on my <br />property? <br />Yes, the City of Pleasanton’s Tree Preservation Ordinance (Municipal Code Chapter 17.16) protects native <br />trees at 37” in circumference and larger and protects non-native trees at 55” in circumference and larger. <br /> The following tree species are considered native to Pleasanton: <br />- Big Leaf Maple (Acer macrophyllum) <br />- Box Elder (Acer negundo) <br />- California Buckeye (Aesculus californica) <br />- California Sycamore (Platanus racemosa) <br />- Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) <br />- Canyon Oak (Quercus chrysolepis) <br />- Blue Oak (Quercus douglassii) <br />- California Black Oak (Quercus kelloggii) <br />- Valley Oak (Quercus lobata) <br />- Interior Live Oak (Quercus wislizenii) <br />- California Bay Laurel (Umbellularia californica) <br />- California Black Walnut (Juglans hindsii) <br />- Tan Oak (Notholithocarpus densiflorus) <br /> <br />See Table 1 on the following pages for photos and a link to the SelecTree website page for each native <br />species.
