How will the new development affect the trees, and what measures are being taken to address this impact?
We intend to develop the 4.6 acre site in a manner which preserves as many of the existing healthy trees as possible. We have conducted a thorough tree survey with Ralph Osterling Consultants who are working with us to address the preservation and removal process of the onsite trees. The most prominent species of trees on the 4.6 acre site include: the blue gum (eucalyptus), and the Monterey cypress and pines, which are not indigenous to the San Francisco Bay Area. Our arborist surveyed over 357 trees and large growth shrubs as part of our overall tree assessment survey. This information will be used as part of our environmental impact report to help design our final land plan.
