RETENTION, REMOVAL, AND MAINTENANCE OF CITY TREES
Goal of Policy
To establish and maintain appropriate diversity in tree species and age classes to
provide a stable and sustainable urban forest with an inventory that the City can
reasonably maintain in a healthy and safe condition through the efficient use of
City resources. To require that in approving any tree removal or reforestation
request, the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission ("Commission ") shall
find that the tree removal request will not adversely impact the overall inventory,
diversity and age of the City's Urban Forest.
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to establish definitive standards for the retention,
removal, maintenance, reforestation, tree trimming standards, and supplemental
trimming of City trees. City trees are an important part of the character and charm
of the entire City and provide environmental benefits as well. Regular care,
trimming, root pruning, maintenance, and programmed replacement are
necessary to preserve this charm while at the same time protecting views
consistent with City Council Policy G-3, providing personal safety, and preventing
public and private property damage and providing a sustainable urban forest.
The City classifies public trees in one of three categories: Special City Trees,
Problem City Trees, and Standard City Trees.
L SPECIAL CITY TREES
It is the City's policy to retain Special City Trees ("Special Trees")
categorized as Landmark, Dedicated, or Neighborhood trees, because they
have historical significance, and/or contribute to, and give character to, a
location or to an entire neighborhood. Landmark, Dedicated, and
Neighborhood trees are identified by species in Attachment 1, and shall
hereinafter be collectively referred to as Special Trees. Trees within these
three categories shall be identified, mapped, recorded and administered by
staff for the Commission. When staff proposed modifications, the
Commission shall review the Special Tree list and forward
recommendations for additions or deletions to the City Council for
approval.
Landmark Trees are identified as those individual Special Trees that possess
historical significance by virtue of their size, age, location, or species.
1
G-1
Dedicated Trees are Special Trees donated in the memory of specific
individuals or organizations.
Neighborhood Trees are Special Trees that by their unusual size, number,
species, or location lend a special character to a residential, commercial, or
business area.
All Special Trees shall be retained, unless there are overriding problems
which will require their removal such as death, disease, interference with
infrastructure, or the creation of a hazardous situation. Prior to considering
the removal of any Special Tree(s), the Municipal Operations Director, or
designee, shall prepare a report identifying and implementing specific
treatment to retain the tree(s). If specific treatment is unsuccessful or
impractical in retaining a tree(s) then a full staff report shall be made to the
Commission before any further action considering removal is taken. Prior
to any removal of Special Tree(s), the City must comply with the noticing
provisions of the Removal of City Trees Section set forth in Section W.A. of
this Policy, unless a Special Tree is considered so hazardous as to
necessitate an emergency removal. In the case of emergency removals, the
Landscape Manager or the City Arborist shall have the authority to direct
the removal of a hazardous tree.
Long term, most trees reach maturity and decline, and will be replaced one-
for-one with the same species or the closest equivalent wherever possible.
During normal sidewalk, curb, and street repair activity requiring root
pruning, all steps shall be taken to retain Special Trees. If tree roots are to
be pruned in association with sidewalk, curb, and gutter improvements,
sufficient timing in advance must be planned to ensure that pruning will
not destabilize or kill the tree. If both sides of a Special Tree's roots are to
be pruned, one side should be pruned six months to a year in advance of
the other side depending upon the species and other related factors. If root
pruning methods are not practical and/or critical to the health of the tree,
then alternate or special hardscape improvements should be considered by
the City in order to retain the tree providing that costs are reasonable. All
proposed root pruning or other tree treatment shall be evaluated and
approved by the City Arborist.
Special Trees may be considered for removal in conjunction with a City
Council -approved beautification project utilizing the Removal of City Trees
procedures noted in Section W.A. of this Policy.
2
II. PROBLEM CITY TREES
G-1
A Problem City Tree ("Problem Tree") is defined as a tree that by virtue of
its species causes excessive hardscape or utility damage due to its excessive
root system. The following trees are defined as Problem Trees:
• Ficus nitida (Indian Laurel Fig)
• Ficus rubiginosa (Rusty Leaf Fig)
• Ficus benjamina (Weeping Fig)
• Erythrina caffra (Kaffirboom Coral Tree)
• Fraxinus uhdei (Shamel Ash)
• Cupaniopsis anacardioides (Carrotwood)
• Liquidambar styraciflua (American Sweet Gum)
• Schinus terebinthifolius (Brazilian Pepper)
Problem Trees shall not be designated as City parkway trees on the Street
Designation Tree List of City Council Policy G-6, unless they are Special
Trees.
Problem Trees that are not designated Special Trees may be removed for
the following reasons:
A. The Problem Tree has had a repeated history of damaging public or
private sewers, water mains, roadways, sidewalks, curbs, walls,
fences, underground utilities, or foundations based on City records
or other competent and reliable authority. Water or sewer blockage
that results from tree roots and causes significant documented
private property damage (greater than $500.00) shall be sufficient
criterion for tree removal; or
B. The Problem Tree has had a repeated history of significant
interference with street or sidewalk drainage, despite specific
treatment by the City to alleviate repeated damage; or
C. The Problem Tree has created, in the opinion of the City Arborist, a
view impediment that cannot be resolved by normal nor alternative
tree trimming procedures.
Problem Trees may be proposed for removal by either staff or private
property owners. The Municipal Operations Director has the authority to
remove Problem Trees. No more than 50 Problem Trees may be removed
per year by staff under these criteria without special approval of the
Commission.
3
G-1
Replacement trees of a 36 -inch box size shall be planted if funding,
availability and growth space permits.
Staff is responsible for notifying the adjacent property owner, the legally
established homeowners association, if applicable, and the Councilperson
of the district where the removal is proposed, of the intent to remove a
Problem Tree. The decision by the Municipal Operations Director to
remove a problem tree is final unless called up by at least one
Councilperson. The City Arborist shall report the removal of Problem Trees
on a monthly basis to the Commission. The cost to remove and replace
Problem Trees will be the sole responsibility of the City based on funding,
availability and growth space.
III. STANDARD CITY TREES
A City tree which is located on City real property (parkways, parks, other
City -owned property) and not designated as a Special or Problem Tree is
designated as a Standard City Tree ("Standard Tree"). It is the City's policy
to retain Standard Trees unless removal is necessary for one of the
following reasons:
A. The City tree has had a repeated history of damaging public or
private sewers, water mains, roadways, sidewalks, curbs, walls,
fences, underground utilities, or foundations based on City records
or other competent and reliable authority. Water or sewer blockage
that results from tree roots and causes significant public or private
property damage (greater than $500.00) shall be sufficient criterion
for tree removal; or
B. The City tree has had a repeated history of significant interference
with street or sidewalk drainage; or
C. The City tree is dead, diseased, dying, or hazardous, and presents a
liability to the City. A dead tree is one that has been assessed by the
City Arborist and found to have deceased. Diseased trees are
defined as those trees that cannot be cured by current arboricultural
methods, are in an advanced state of decline, and have no prospect
of recovery. Dying trees are those that have no prospect of recovery.
Hazardous trees are defined as those that are defective, have a
potential to fail, and would cause damage to persons and property
upon failure. The City Arborist will perform a hazard assessment
whenever a tree is identified as hazardous. The assessment will
identify: structural defects of the tree, parts of the tree most likely to
C!
G-1
fail, targets where imminent personal injury or property damage
may result with tree failure, and procedures or actions necessary to
abate the hazard. After assessment, the City Arborist will
expeditiously convey his written findings and recommendations to
the Municipal Operations Director for evaluation. If the Municipal
Operations Director agrees with the City Arborist findings to remove
a tree, the hazardous tree will be removed without further delay. In
the case of imminent tree failure, the Landscape Manager or the City
Arborist shall have the authority to direct the removal of a
hazardous tree; or
D. The tree(s) have been requested to be removed in conjunction with a
City Council -approved City, commercial, neighborhood, or home
owners' association beautification program; or
E. The City Manager, upon the advice of the Municipal Operations
Director, City Attorney, Risk Manager or the Traffic Engineer, shall
have the authority to remove individual Problem or Standard Trees
to resolve claims or safety issues.
IV. REMOVAL OF CITY TREES
The initiation to remove City tree(s) may be made by the staff of the
Municipal Operations and/or Public Works Departments, a home owners'
association, or a private property owner by submitting an application to the
Municipal Operations Director, utilizing the City Tree Removal form
available on the City's website: www.newportbeachca.gov.
The City will replace all trees removed in accordance with the Standard
Trees removal criteria on a one for one basis, as funding, availability and
growth space permits. Replacement trees will be a minimum of a 36" boxed
size. If 36" boxed trees are not available or funding or space constraints
prevent planting of a large tree, then a minimum of a 24" boxed tree will be
planted. The full costs of removal and replacement of all City Tree(s) will
be the sole responsibility of the City, unless an applicant voluntarily pays
for a new tree(s), or desires to upgrade to a box size larger than 36" planted
as a replacement, then the resident will be responsible for the difference in
price.
A. Removal of Special City Trees
• Special Trees may be considered for removal under the same
criteria as Standard Trees in Section IV.C. (Removal of
5
G-1
Standard Trees) if a special report, prepared by the Municipal
Operations Director and approved by the City Manager, is
provided to the Commission detailing the necessity of
removal and any specific previous treatment of the tree.
• Removal of a Special Tree(s) is initiated by submitting an
application utilizing the City Tree Removal form, which must
be approved by the City Manager.

the street within 500' in each direction of the tree location and
a home owners' association, if applicable, shall be notified of
the decision to remove or retain the tree(s) at least 30 days
before the proposed removal. A home owners' association is
responsible for notification of all association members
pursuant to their established procedure.
G-1
• The Municipal Operations Director, or a designee, shall
prepare a staff report for a regularly scheduled Commission
meeting of all trees recommended for removal, except for
those trees categorized as Item C (dead, diseased, or dying
trees) or Item E (claims and safety issues) in Section III
(Standard City Trees).
• Any appeal to the Council regarding a Commission tree
decision must be received by the Municipal Operations
Director no later than 14 calendar days following the date of
the Commission decision. The Municipal Operations Director
will delay any tree removals until the appeal period has
expired or until the Commission has acted upon the appeal.
• The full costs of removal and replacement of Special Tree(s)
will be the sole responsibility of the City, unless an applicant
voluntarily pays for a new tree(s), or with the exception of
Category C (view) in Section II, which is the sole
responsibility of the applicant.
B. Removal of Problem City Trees
• Problem Trees may be proposed for removal by either City
staff, a home owners' association, or private property owners
by written application utilizing the City Tree Removal form.
The Municipal Operations Director has the authority to
remove Problem Trees.
• No more than 50 Problem Trees may be removed per year by
staff without special approval of the Commission.
• No more than one of three problem parkway trees in a
continuous row may be removed in a one year period without
a hearing before the Commission, unless part of a
reforestation approved by the Commission. Replacement
trees of a 36" boxed size shall be planted if funding permits.
• Staff is responsible for notifying in advance, if applicable, the
adjacent property owner, the legally established homeowners
association, and the Councilperson of the district where the
removal is proposed of the intent to remove a Problem Tree.
7
G-1
• The decision by the Municipal Operations Director to remove
a problem tree is final unless called up by at least one
Councilperson. The City Arborist shall report the removal of
Problem Trees on a monthly basis to the Commission.
• The cost to remove and replace Problem Trees will be the sole
responsibility of the City based on availability of funding,
with the exception of Category C (view) in Section II, which
is the sole responsibility of the applicant.
C. Removal of Standard City Trees
• The initiation to remove a Standard Tree(s) may be made by

shall determine whether in his/her judgment additional
specific treatment can be initiated to retain the tree provided
the costs are reasonable.
• The City Arborist shall make a finding in regards to
inappropriate tree species for a specific location and forward
to Landscape Manager. The authority to remove Standard
Trees rests with the Municipal Operations Director.
• Once a recommendation is made by the City Arborist and the
Landscape Manager to the Municipal Operations Director, or
designee, and the Director agrees with the recommendation,
the City may remove the tree(s).
• Staff is responsible for notifying in advance, if applicable, the
adjacent property owner, the home owners' association, and
the Councilperson of the district where the removal is
proposed of the intent to remove a Standard Tree.
• Any appeal to the Commission regarding a tree decision must
be received by the Municipal Operations Director no later
:
G-1
than 14 calendar days following the date of the notice of
intent. The Municipal Operations Director will delay any tree
removals until the appeal period has expired or until the
Commission has acted upon an appeal.
• The City will replace all trees removed in accordance with the
Standard Trees removal criteria on a one for one basis.
Replacement trees will be a minimum of a 36" boxed size. If
36" boxed trees are not available, or funding or space
constraints prevent planting of a large tree, then a minimum
of a 24" boxed tree will be planted. If resident/ applicant
desires to upgrade to a 48" boxed tree or larger, the
resident/ applicant will be responsible for the difference in
price.
• The full costs of removal and replacement of Standard Tree(s)
will be the sole responsibility of the City, unless an applicant
voluntarily pays for a new tree(s) or desires to upgrade to box
size larger than 36" planted as a replacement, then the
applicant will be responsible for the difference in price.
V. REFORESTATION OF CITY TREES
A. Description of Reforestation
Reforestation is defined as the concept of systematically replacing
Problem or Standard Trees which are creating hardscape and/or
view problems and cannot be properly trimmed, pruned or modified
to alleviate the problem(s) they create; or those which have reached
their full life and are declining in health; or are simply the wrong
species of trees for the planted location.
It is recognized and acknowledged that many City trees were
planted years ago and in some cases were planted with specific
species that when fully mature cause damage to curb, gutter,
sidewalk or underground utilities. Within the geographical
boundaries of certain view neighborhoods, City street trees may
encroach into blue water views from public and private property
depending on the length of time since the trees were last trimmed,
or the age and height of the trees. In other cases, the wrong species
of tree was planted originally and simply does not conform to the
current treescape or represents a safety hazard.
E
G-1
The City Street Tree Designation List and the City Parkway Tree
Designation List attached to City Council Policy G-6 reflect an effort
by the City to designate appropriate tree species that will not cause
future problems.
The City understands the importance of trees and the beauty they
bring to a community, and desires to continually improve the urban
forest through reforestation. In areas where City trees have been
removed through City initiation, the City will endeavor to replace
the trees one for one with the appropriate designated street tree.
B. Application for Reforestation
Individual private property owners, as well as home owners'
association, may apply for single or multiple tree reforestations in
their respective area by submitting a request to the Municipal
Operations Director for consideration by the Commission that meets
the following requirements:
• The proposed area must have clearly defined contiguous
geographical boundaries that include the tree(s) proposed for
removal and replacement, street address(es), block
number(s), or other geographical information. This Section
applies to individual and group requests.
• Residential communities, neighborhoods, or business
organizations who apply for reforestation must submit a
petition signed by a minimum of 60% of the property owners
within the area defined for reforestation. The petition content
must be approved and dated by City staff prior to distribution
by the petitioner. The staff -approved petition must be
distributed by the petitioner to a maximum of 30 private
property owners (up to 15 contiguous private property
owners on both sides of the street up to 500' in either direction
from the location of the proposed reforestation). Signatures
by non -property owners are not acceptable for petition
purposes, and there may be no more than one signature per
property. All petition signatures shall be verified by City staff
for property owner status of the person(s) signing the
petition. As an alternative to the above requirements, areas
represented by a home owners' association may submit a
resolution of the Board of Directors formally requesting a
reforestation with a statement that all members of the home
go]
G-1
owners' association having their residential views affected
have been officially notified and given an appropriate
opportunity to respond before the Board voted on the request.
Individual private property owners living within a home
owners' association with mandatory association membership
must petition for reforestation through their respective
association.
• Individual private property owners not residing within a
home owners' association area may submit individual
requests for single or multiple tree reforestations. The
applicant must submit a petition signed by a minimum of 60 %
of a maximum of 30 private property owners (up to 15
contiguous private properties on both sides of the street up to
500' in either direction from the location of the proposed
reforestation site) as well as the endorsement of the
appropriate homeowners association, if applicable. The
petition content must be approved and dated by staff prior to
distribution. All petition signatures shall be verified by City
staff for private property owner status of the person(s)
signing the petition.
• A written agreement must be submitted to the Parks, Beaches
and Recreation Commission by the petitioning sponsor
(individual private property owner(s) or group) to pay 100%
of the costs of the removal and replacement of the public
tree(s) in advance of any removal activity. The actual removal
and replanting will be coordinated by the Municipal
Operations Department. The total costs shall include only the
contractor's removal and replacement costs and be paid in
advance of any removal actions.
• The replacement tree(s) for reforestation shall be an
appropriate tree that meets the criteria of the City's Street Tree
Designation List or the City Parkway Tree Designation List as
identified in City Council Policy G-6, or the applicant (person,
group, or organization) must request and obtain approval
from the Commission of the designation of a different tree
species prior to submitting any reforestation request for a tree
species other than the designated street tree, or an
appropriate species based on the City Tree Designation Lists.
This Section applies to individual or group requests.
11
G-1
• There shall be a minimum of a one for one replacement of all
trees removed in reforestation projects. Replacement trees
shall be a minimum size of 36" boxed trees, unless the
parkway space will not accommodate a 36" boxed tree or a
tree cannot be planted due to planting restrictions contained
in City Council Policy G-6. If there is not room for the
replacement tree(s) at a specific site as designated by City
Council Policy G-6, then the replacement tree(s) shall be
planted in a public area in the same neighborhood at the
option of the petitioner. This Section applies to individual or
group requests.
• Reforestation requests must be completed and submitted in a
timely manner by the petitioner. Petitions that are dated more
than 90 days past the date stamped by staff before distribution
will not be forwarded to the Commission for consideration.
The Municipal Operations Director may extend this
timeframe in his or her discretion. The completed
reforestation application will go to the Commission to decide
whether to accept or deny the requested reforestation. The
decision of the Commission on reforestation requests will be
considered final unless called up by at least one
Councilmember or the City Manager.
• The City shall require the proper care and watering of
replacement trees by the reforestation petitioner to ensure
their proper growth and development as outlined in City
Council Policy G-6. Section 13.090.030 of the Municipal Code
outlines what is expected of property owners in regards to
proper care of parkway trees adjacent to their property.
VI. TREE MAINTENANCE
The City will endeavor to fund the care of the Urban Forest to the highest
level possible through the efficient use of regular tree trimming, root
pruning, root barrier and pesticide programs in accordance with City
Council Policy G-6. Section 13.08.040 of the Municipal Code prohibits any
person from tampering with City trees.
VII. ENCROACHMENT AND DEMOLITION PERMITS
All encroachment permits (permits for private property development
which are proposed to encroach upon the City right of way) or demolition
12
G-1
permits that involve the removal or replacement of City tree(s) must be
specifically noticed by the property owner to City staff prior to the building
and/or demolition permit process whenever possible. The proposed
construction plans must indicate preservation of existing City trees
wherever possible (except trees that are dead, dying, or in an advanced state
of decline). If the proposed development requires the removal of City trees,
the property owner must submit a tree removal form to the Municipal
Operations Director, pay all related tree removal and one for one
replacement costs, and meet all provisions of City Council Policies L-2 and
L-6 and City Municipal Code Sections 13.08 and 13.09, or any successor
policies or sections. Approval or disapproval of all tree
removal/ replacement requests associated with encroachment and
demolition permits will be the responsibility of the Municipal Operations
Director or a designee.
VIII. TREE TRIMMING STANDARDS
The City Council has adopted tree trimming cycles for trees of different
ages and species. Tree trimming cycles and trimming standards shall
represent the maximum feasible frequency given current fiscal conditions.
Except as provided in the Supplemental Trimming Section below, trimming
shall be in accordance with the standards of the International Society of
Arboriculture (ISA). In those communities with a home owners'
association, periodic tree trimming with an emphasis on height reduction
will be considered by the City Arborist upon written request by the
association.
IX. SUPPLEMENTAL TREE TRIMMING
The City will consider requests to trim certain trees more frequently or to
trim trees consistent with practices applied prior to the adoption of ISA
standards (to enhance public and private views, preserve required
sight/ distance standards, or other public purposes) which are submitted by
affected private property owners or the board of a home owners'
association and the request is accompanied by a completed "Supplemental
Tree Trimming Form" and full payment for the requested tree trimming.
However, since these practices often require 'topping' or possible
disfiguring of a tree(s) and are often aesthetically displeasing and injurious
to a tree, reforestation shall be considered when supplemental tree
trimming is impractical or infeasible as determined by the City Arborist.
13
G-1
The Municipal Operations Director shall establish procedures to implement
the supplemental trimming provisions of this Policy. In areas with an active
homeowners association, approval must be obtained from a legally
established association by the requestor of supplemental tree trimming if
the requested trimming is to be undertaken within the association
boundaries.
