3948 Skelton Canyon Circle Driveway Realignment and Oak Removal

Thousand Oaks

Description

A driveway realignment requiring removal of a 54-inch multi-trunk Coast Live Oak was continued to October 26, 2026, after emotional public testimony about the ancient oaks.

Impact summary

The case became a flashpoint over the city's handling of protected landmark trees; opponents want stronger arborist standards before any removal permits are granted.
