SECTION 500 TREE REMOVAL
A. ALLOWABLE TREE REMOVAL PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT
No protected tree or trees shall be removed prior to issuance of a building permit
unless one of the following conditions exists. The burden of proof as a qualified
exception is upon the person removing the tree.
1. Any protected tree located in a new single family residential subdivision with
two lots or less.
2. Any protected tree located within street rights-of-way, utility or drainage
easements as shown on a preliminary plat approved by the Planning and
Zoning Commission. In the event that certain trees outside the above areas or
trees based partially outside the easement or right-of-way are requested to be
removed to allow the operation of equipment, the applicant shall submit a
recorded plat, and a site plan which indicates the exact operation area needed.
The Building Official or his designee may approve selected removal under this
condition.
3. The protected tree is dying, dead, diseased, injured, in danger of falling,
interferes with utility service, creates unsafe vision clearance, or conflicts with
other ordinances or regulations and immediate removal is required.
4. Any protected tree that has disrupted a public utility service due to a tornado,
storm, flood or other act of nature. Removal shall be limited to the portion of
the tree reasonably necessary to reestablish and maintain reliable utility
service.
Ordinance No. 2422 Page 5 of 17
5. Landscape Nursery. All licensed plant or tree nurseries shall be exempt from
the tree protection and replacement requirements and from the tree removal
provision only in relation to those trees planted and growing on the premises of
said licensee which are so planted and growing for the sale or intended sale to
the general public in the ordinary course of said licensee's business. This may
also apply to a nursery established and so designated by a developer of a large
project within the City, where trees are intended for landscaping future phases
of such larger project.
6. Any protected tree that is required to be removed in order to properly grade and
drain the property as required on a final grading plan that is approved by the
Public Works Department. If this option is utilized on any lot in a single family
residential district, a total of three (3) trees per lot shall be required. These
replacement trees will meet the minimum requirements Section 700.A and shall
be planted prior to the final building inspection. At least one of these trees shall
be planted in the required front yard setback. Other types of development shall
meet the current approved landscape regulations.
7. The owner of property zoned Agricultural and is being actively used for
agricultural purposes shall be exempt from this Ordinance.
8. Utilities operating under a franchise agreement with the city of North Richland
Hills are exempt from this ordinance and are not required to make application
for removal of protected trees provided that any trees removed under this
exemption pose a direct hindrance to the utility's ability to exercise its rights
under the franchise to utilize city property rights-of-way, and dedicated
easements to provide safe, reliable service to its customers and that said trees
are located in the aforementioned areas governed by the franchise agreement
and removal of tress is directly linked to extending service to new customers.
B. ALLOWABLE TREE REMOVAL AFTER ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT

maintaining trees on public property, or for acquiring and preserving wooded
property. The amount of payment required shall be calculated based on an average
of three current market prices for the cost of acquiring, planting and maintaining a
tree(s) equal in caliper to the trees to be removed for a period of one year. Two
prices will be provided by the applicant and the City will provide one price.
SECTION 800 TREE PROTECTION
A. PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION: The following procedures shall be followed on all
types of construction projects (i.e. residential subdivisions, commercial, multi family,
industrial developments, residential builders and municipal/public). It is the
responsibility of the developer and his subcontractors to take the appropriate action
to preserve all protected trees during all phases of construction.
1. TREE FLAGGING: All protected trees that are to remain on the subject
property within fifty feet (50') of any area where vehicles, materials, and/or
equipment are moved, placed, transported, or stored, shall be flagged with
bright fluorescent orange vinyl tape wrapped around the main trunk at a height
of 4 feet or more, such that the tape is very visible to workers operating
construction equipment.
Ordinance No. 2422 Page 9 of 17
2. OPEN SPACE FLAGGING: All trees or groups of trees within areas intended
to be saved as open space shall be enclosed with fluorescent orange tape
along all areas of possible access or intrusion by construction equipment. Tape
shall be supported at a minimum of twenty-five (25') foot intervals by wrapping
trees or utilizing another approved method. Single incident access for the
purposes of clearing underbrush is allowed.
3. PROTECTIVE FENCING: In those situations where a protected tree is so
close to the construction area that construction equipment will infringe on the
root system, a system of protective fencing may be required between the tree
and the construction activity.
4. BARK PROTECTION: In situations where a protected tree remains in the
immediate area of intended construction, the tree shall be protected by
enclosing the entire circumference of the tree with 2 inch x 4 inch lumber
encircle with wire or other means that do not damage the tree. This will protect
the bark of the tree against incidental contact by large construction equipment.
B. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES ADJACENT TO TREES: The following activities shall be
prohibited within the limits of the drip line of any protected tree subject to the
requirements of the ordinance.
1. MATERIAL STORAGE: No materials intended for use in construction, or waste
materials accumulated due to excavation or demolition, shall be placed under
the canopy of any protected tree.
2. EQUIPMENT CLEANING/LIQUID DISPOSAL. No equipment shall be cleaned,
or other materials or liquids deposited or allowed to flow over land, within the
limits of the canopy of a protected tree. This includes, without limitation, paint,
oil, solvents, asphalt, concrete, mortar or similar materials.
3. TREE ATTACHMENTS. No signs, wires, or other attachments other than
those of a protective nature shall be attached to any protected tree.
4. VEHICULAR TRAFFIC. No vehicular and/or construction equipment traffic or
parking shall take place within the limits of the canopy of any protected tree
other than on an existing paved street or parking lot. This restriction does not
apply to single incident access within the drip line for purposes of clearing
underbrush, establishing the building pad and associated lot grading, vehicular
traffic necessary for routine utility maintenance or emergency restoration of
utility service or routine mowing operations.
5. GRADE CHANGES: No grade changes in excess of two inches (2") (cut or fill)
shall be allowed within the limits of the drip line of any protected tree unless
adequate construction methods are utilized which have been approved by the
Building Official.
6. IMPERVIOUS PAVING: No paving with asphalt, concrete or other impervious
materials in a manner which may reasonable by expected to kill a tree shall be
Ordinance No. 2422 Page 10 of 17
placed within the limits of the drip line of a protected tree except as otherwise
allowed in this ordinance.
C. PRESERVED TREE CRITERIA: A protected tree shall be considered preserved
only if a minimum of 75% of the area under the drip line is maintained at undisturbed
natural grade and no more than 25% of the canopy is removed due to building
encroachment.
Ordinance No. 2422
Page 11 of 17
SECTION 900 TREE PRUNING RESTRICTIONS
A. GENERAL: Normal pruning required to promote tree health and vitality is permitted.
No protected tree shall be pruned in a manner, which would reasonably lead to the
death of the tree.
B. REQUIRED PRUNING: The owners of any tree adjacent to a public right of way
(R.O.W.) shall be required to maintain a minimum clearance of fourteen feet (14')
above the traveled surface or curb of a public street or open space trail. The City

to preserve the public safety.
C. ALLOWED PRUNING: The Building Official may approve pruning of a protected
tree in cases where protected trees must be strategically pruned to allow
construction or demolition of a structure. When allowed, all pruning shall be in
accordance with Section 400.A above, approved arboricultural techniques and the
recommendation of Exhibit "C". This section is not intended to require a tree
removal authorization for reasonable pruning performed or contracted to be
performed by the owner of the tree when unrelated to construction activity.
D. TREE TOPPING: It shall be unlawful as a normal practice for any person, firm, or
city department to top any tree on public property. Trees severely damaged by
storms or other causes, or certain trees under utility wires or other obstructions
where other pruning practices are impractical may be exempted from this ordinance
at the determination of the Building Official.
SECTION 1000 TREE PLANTING RESTRICTION
A. OVERHEAD LINES: Replacement trees shall not be planted in a location where the
natural canopy of the tree will interfere with overhead utility lines.
B. UNDERGROUND UTILITIES: Any required replacement trees or street trees shall
not be planted within an area such that the mature root zone of the tree will interfere
with underground public utilities lines (including water lines, sewer lines,
transmission lines or other utilities. No trees shall be planted within ten feet (10') of
