"(f) Any jurisdiction that imposes a requirement under this section on private property or an individual within urban areas to increase tree canopy must show that the requirement will result in a measurable improvement to climate change in the form of reductions in temperatures associated with urban heat island effect within the jurisdiction. If, after ten years, there is no significant reduction in temperature, the jurisdiction need not implement the tree canopy requirements in this chapter."
