A written permit is required to cut, prune, or treat any street tree for any purpose. A permit may be obtained from the Public Works Department by submitting an application. The City Council, by resolution, establishes any permit fee. The application must state the number and kind of trees to be pruned or treated, the name of permittee and/or contractor, and the time by which the proposed work is to be done and such other information as may be required by the City. Any work done under the permit must be performed in strict accordance with the terms and provisions of this chapter. In issuing or denying a permit, the Public Works Department shall apply the standards and objectives of this chapter and the Street Tree Plan.
