The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors met via videoconference June 8, 2021. Below are the results of selected items on the agenda:
PLANNING AND BUILDING
- Consider an appeal of the Planning Commission’s approval of an After-the-Fact Tree Removal Permit (PLN2020-00443) for the unpermitted removal of a 20.9-inch diameter at breast height (dbh) Coast Live Oak Tree while a permit was pending, pursuant to Section 12,000 of the San Mateo County Ordinance Code, on property located at 10 Cardinal Court in the unincorporated West Menlo Park area of San Mateo County, and:
- A) Deny the appeal on the basis that the tree that was removed was in a location that warranted removal given the limitations it placed on the property owner’s ability to construct a residence equivalent to other residences in the neighborhood. With the additional off-site mitigation in the supplemental conditions of approval, the criteria for tree removal established by the Significant Tree Ordinance have been met; and
- B) Approve the After the Fact Tree Removal Permit, County File Number PLN2020- 00443, with conditions that require additional off-site mitigation in order to fulfill the requirements of Section 12,032(2)(c) of the County Ordinance Code.
The Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 to approve items A) and B). The motion included refunding the appeal fees to the appellant and County arborist to work with neighbors on planting trees. See Regular Agenda, Item No. 5, for more information.
