City Council denies appeal to remove Canary Island pine
City Council rejected William Warne's appeal to remove a Canary Island pine near his building at 400 East Avenue. The Community Services Department had denied the request in October, and the council vote was 4-1 with Councilman Mike Alvarez opposing Warne. Warne argued safety concerns and questioned the protection categories, saying the tree’s removal could reflect bias toward a preferred appearance.
