During a July 16 study session, the Beverly Hills City Council was split over whether to review a Planning Commission decision allowing the removal of three heritage trees at 1001 N. Roxbury Drive, the former site of a historic home beloved by many residents.
If the plan goes forward, crews will remove two Coastal Redwoods and one London Plane Sycamore from the property, though they will also have to plant three replacement trees before the building permits are issued, according to a staff report. Of the 44 trees on the property, 30 are designated as “protected,” including the three slated for removal.
