Hi Robert,
Here is how the City defines an arborist report in section 21.32.20 of Campbell Municipal Code:
"Arborist report" means a professional report prepared by a certified arborist that includes photographic documentation
of each tree proposed to be removed and indicates the location(s), variety or species, size(s), and condition of all such
tree(s). An arborist report also includes a visual examination of damage associated with the trees} and provides
potential measures that may be taken to preserve the tree(s) or prevent further damage. The report shall conclude with a
recommendation as to whether, in the professional judgment of the arborist, the tree(s) should be removed. or preserved.
Also, per section 21.32.080 of Campbell Municipal Code, here is the criteria for removing a protected tree:
A. General criteria. The. approval authority shall approve a tree removal permit only after making at least one of the
following findings:
l . Diseased or danger of falling. 'T'he tree or trees are diseased or presents a danger of falling that cannot be
controlled or remedied through reasonable preservation anal/or preventative procedures and practices such that the
public health or safety requires its removal.
2. Structure Damage. The tree or trees have caused or may imminently cause significant damage to the existing
main structure(s) that cannot be controlled or remedied through reasonable modification of the tree's root or
branch structure.
3. Utility hrterfet•ence. The tree. or trees have interfered with utility services where such. interference cannot be
controlled or remedied throu~~h reasonable modification/relocafron of the utility services and/or reasonable
modification of the tree's root or branch structure.
4. Overplantin~**. The tree(s) is crowding other protected tree(s) to the extent that removal is necessary to ensure
the long-term viability of adjacent tree(s). ~ .
~+ J .. .. ~_. .. .. ...
~. Economic enjoyment and hardship. The retention of the tree(s) restricts the economic enjoyment of the
property or creates an unusual hardship for the property owner by severely limiting the use of the property in a
manner not typically experienced by owners of similarly zoned and situated properties, and the applicant has
demonstrated to the satisfaction of the approval authority that there are no reasonable alternatives to preserve the
trees}. A minor reduction of the potential number of residential units or building size due to the tree location does
not represe~~t a severe limit of the economic enjoyment of the property.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
