the General Plan. She said that property owners within 300 feet
of the farmer's land would be prevented from complaining to the
City and putting the farmer out of business. The council directed
the city Manager to place a. "Right to Farm" ordinance on a future
agenda.

the ordinance provides that a citizen can request that his tree be
selected as a landmark tree by the City. He said if the City sees
a notable tree it can request permission of the owner to name it
a landmark tree, but the owner can decline. He said the City's
authority is over undeveloped property; otherwise it is voluntary
for the property owner.
PUblic Works Director Karp said as a condition to any building
permit that requires a grading plan, the Engineering Department
