It is the purpose of this chapter to promote the health, safety, and welfare of the
city by controlling the removal of trees in the city, as trees enhance the scenic
beauty of the city, significantly reduce the erosion of topsoil, contribute to increased
storm water quality, reduce flood hazards and risks of landslides, increase property
values, reduce the cost of construction and maintenance of draining systems through
the reduction of flow and the need to divert surface waters, contribute to energy
efficiency and the reduction of urban temperatures, serve as windbreaks and are prime
oxygen producers and air purification systems.
