What it does

This bill would require the Department of Parks and Recreation (Parks) to report on any instance where it has waived the requirement that a development plant a certain number of street trees along its lot. This report would include each time a waiver has been granted, which type of alternate compliance has been used, and the locations of any trees that have been planted off-site to account for the waived trees.
