Description
Sought permission to remove a 252-foot, 118-inch-diameter old-growth redwood with a cavity, base scar, and compromised roots; denied after commissioners found the imminent-hazard showing unproven.
Impact summary
The Planning Commission denied it on Jun 18, 2026.
The tree stays standing; the owner may still trim hazardous limbs and can reapply with stronger evidence.
