The October 30 billing cycle will arrive at the citizens homes no later than the November 3. Copies of the questionnaires received will be given to the committee and the appropriate departments for a response. There was some discussion about publication in the city newsletter. Assistant City Manager Shiflet informed the committee that administration was not sure if the timing would be right for publication of the Town Hall meeting.

TOWN HALL AGENDA Assistant City Manager Shiflet advised the committee that aftE~r discussion with City Manager Cunningham an update to the citizens on the benefits from the Crime Control District Tax should be discussed at the Town Hall meeting. Page 3 Assistant City Manager Shiflet also informed the committee that the citizens are just now seeing the people that were hired in the first half of the ex stences of the Crime Control District. For the past year the police department has been trying to get all the new officers out in the City so they can have an impact on the '-esponse times and have more units available. He suggested that a presentation be ma::le, instead of just giving crime stats and inform the citizens of the programs that have bl~en developed such as the new Crime Analysis Unit. Assistant City Manager Shiflet felt that the first hour from 7:00 ' 8:00 should be more of a presentation addressing all of the questions that were received from the surveys and that the last hour could be available for other questions and arswers. The first 15 minutes could be Chairman Hood introducing the new City Ma1ager and allow him to give a "State of the City" overview. He also suggested that thE' Police Chief and the Director of Parks and Recreation Departments each do a pres,:!ntation for about 15 minutes to discuss their ~ cent sales tax, There was discussion among the committee about the main topic of the Town Hall Meeting, The committee decided that the main topic of the Town Hall Meeting would be "What Your Tax Dollars Do For You". Assistant City Manager Shiflet expressed transportation, roads and projects from the 1994 bond package, that are in progress, as programs that the citizens find interesting.

The committee agreed with he agenda for the Town Hall Meeting Assistant City Manager Shiflet informed Chairman Hood would need to introduce the Town Hall Committee Members at the beginning of the meeting. He also suggested that Chairman Hood moderate the meeting and two other corrmittee members would have wireless microphones to move around the audience for anyone wishing to ask a question. The Town Hall Committee voted unanimous on the title and aqenda for the November 6 meeting. Chairman Hood asked the committee how they felt about an invocation and pledge of allegiance.

Assistant City Manager Shiflet suggested that Chairman Hood attend either the October 13 or October 28 Pre-Council meeting to invite the Council to the Town Hall Meeting. Chairman Hood will ask if any of the council would like to volunteer to give the invocation and lead the pledge of allegiance when he attends the October 13 Pre- Council Meeting. Page 4 6.

Subject: November 24, 1997 Regulate Electrical Usage at Green Valley' Community Park and Soccer Complex TU Electric implemented a new fee structure for municipalities in July 1994. The new rate, GS-General Service Secondary, is based on a formula which ir,cludes a "demand charge" and kilowatt (kW) consumption. The "demand rate" is set by the highest amount of kilowatts used during a month. For example, if the greatest demand of electricity is used during the month of August, then all other months are billed according to the August demand use. This "demand charge" is then set for the entir?:! year and billed monthly, regardless of the amount of kilowatts used. The actual kilowat usage is billed in addition to the base "demand charge." All new facilities built after July 1994, including Green Valley Park, are subject to the new rate. Currently, the annual electric charge at Green Valley Park is approximately $15,000. This is financially burdensome to the soccer associations and the city. The contract with the soccer associations requires them to pay for the hourly electrical charges they actually use and the city pays for the "demand charges". Staff has been working with TU Electric to explore alternativE' solutions to enduring the financial constraints of the demand charge. Staff and TU Eectric determined that the most fiscally responsible alternative is to employ tI-e 215-General Service Secondary/Recurring Seasonal Service rate schedule. This rate will save the city approximately 50% ($7,500) in electrical charges at this facility. The billing would be based on actual kilowatts used instead of a demand charge. In order "or the city to be eligible for this rate, Green Valley Park must have zero electrical usage for one month out of the year. After discussion with both soccer associations, the month of December was chosen for zero electrical use as during this month the park is least uSt~d overall and there is no scheduled progr¡3mming. Since no electrical use can occur during the month of DecembEr under this rate schedule, staff will plan to leave the restrooms open during the day, and close them during the night hours. (Regardless of limiting electrical use, freezing weather during this month usually dictates frequent night closings of park restrooms.) Additiona Iy, the three night security lights will not be in operation during the month of December. This shouldn't be a major inconvenience with early sundown and cold weather dramaticcìlly decreasing park usage during this time of year. ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS All of our new projects currently in design or under construction have been designed to accommodate "seasonal rate metering" in order to maximize u1Îlity cost savings. We will investigate retrofitting Green Valley Park and NRH20 to determine the long term cost/benefit. The Park Board discussed and was informed of ths plan of action during the May 1997 meeting and staff wanted to inform the Council of this cost saving initiative in order to enable you to answer any questions you may receive. ~ìtaff will move forward with implementation of this cost saving initiative unless directed otherwise. Respectfully Submitted, <::::::.:.:-- ..\~ Jim Browne Director of Parks and Recreation JB/sm INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 97-148 _,)1.,):- . i"j!'\r Date: November 24, 1997 Subject: Possible Goals Setting Meeting At the August Budget Retreat we discussed the possibility of having a City Council goals setting session sometime in early 1998. The purpose of this retreat would be to begin focusing on goals for the next several years. Considering we have two new Council members, a new City Manager, and the possibility of a new Mayor after May 1998, the question arises as to whether or not we should have a goals setting meeting now or wait until after the election. I met with Lyle Sumek, of Lyle Sumek Associates, Inc. He conducts goal setting, leadership, and other similar workshops, with governing bodies throughout the country. I asked him to submit a proposal. Lyle suggests that we have a session in early 1998 since we have two new Council members and a new City Manager, and a second session after Council elections in May. At the first workshop we would cover both short-term and long-term goals, a work program for the next six months, and performance standards and role expectations of the City Council and City Manager. A tentative agenda is attached. Such a session would consist of having a dinner at the retreat site Friday evening, followed by a one or two hour work session. The next day, Saturday, we would have an all-day session for the planning and goal setting process. Under this proposal, the second part of this goal setting process would be held in Mayor June, after the City Council election. This would include a leadership and strategic planning workshop focusing on goals for 2003 with benchmarks of success, targets for action 1998- 1999, strategies on key policy issues, and refinements of Council operations. This workshop would also require a Friday night session and an all-day session Saturday. There are certainly advantages and disadvantages to either approach of waiting until after the next elections or proceeding. It appears it could be advantageous to proceed with some strategic planning and goal setting in early 1998, then follow up with further refinement and additional input after newly elected individuals are seated. We have checked the availability of the Garret Creek facility. It is available for Friday and Saturday, January 23 and 24 or Friday and Saturday, January 30 and 31. I sincerely believe it would be beneficial for the City Council and the City's management team to have a goals setting and planning meeting. I would appreciate your direction.

Mayor ATTEST: Patricia Hutson - City Secretary CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS I I I Department: Planning & Inspections Council Meeting Date: 11/24/97 SubjecPublic Hearing to Consider Amending the NRH Master Agenda Number: PZ 97-46 Plan wIthin the Mid-Cities Uverlay Lone. Ordmance No. 225£j The current North Richland Hills Master Plan was adopted by the City Council in June of 1992 and is used as a guide for evaluating rezoning requests. Texas zoning laws require cities to zone property in accordance with a comprehensive plan. Since 1992 there have been a number of rezoning requests which have not been consistent with the current Master Plan. Therefore, the master plan has been amended in the past by incorporating amending language into the ordinance that also changed the zoning. However, the frequency of rezoning requests now suggests that the NRH Master Plan is in need of amendment, particularly within the area that is largely undeveloped and designated as the Mid··Cities Overlay Zone. Attached is a copy of the document "Mid-Cities Boulevard Corridor Study," prepared by Dan Boutwell of Municipal Planning Resources Group, Inc. This study includes a revision to the future land use plan in the undeveloped area along Mid-Cities Boulevard. Other recommendations of the study include enhancements to the landscaping regulations and consideration of architectural design criteria. Notices were sent to nearly 200 property owners having property within the Mid-Cities Overlay Zone and who may be affected by the proposed plan. One letter was received from Mr. Bill Souder who requested that all of his property on Mid-Cities Boulevard be considered as a future commercial site. The Mid-Cities Overlay Zone split Mr. Souder's property into two different categories. The attached Ordinance No. 2256 contains a land use map which changes the future land use within the Mid-Cities Overlay Zone and incorporates citizen comments made at the November 13, 1997 public hearing. The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this item at its November 13, 1997 meeting and recommended approval of Ordinance No. 2256, which amends the future land use plan in the Mid- Cities Overlay Zone, David Barfield, Chairman of the Planning & Zoning Commission, has indicated to staff that several members of the Commission and the City Council are very interested in adopting new landscaping regulations and architectural design criteria within the overlay zone. Staff is requesting the City Council give direction on these two related items. RECOMMENDA nON: It is recommended that the City Council hold a public hearing and consider the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission and give staff direction on the landscaping and architectural _ desigll reglJlatiQDs.______m _________m__________,_____,______ ____ .____'____________,_________ Finance Review ----~.__._~~-~-~ Source of Funds Bonds (GO/Rev) ___ Operating Budget Othe}3~--¡J r") _/ !iL~~ ~ _ D partment Head Signature -------- -------------------- CITY COUNCIL ACTION AccL Number _, Sufficient Funds AVéj lable Finance O!(fK10f /: . /~~ City a ger - ----t '----,--__,________ Page 1 of ______ Ordinance No. 2256 AN ORDINANCE BY THE CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE MASTER PLAN PREPARED BY PLANNING RESOURCES GROUP; DETERMINING THAT IT IS IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST, HEALTH, SAFETY AND GENERAL WELFARE TO AMEND SAID COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE MASTER PLAN; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING A SA VINCiS CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

(LOCATED AT 4019 RUFE SNOW DRIVE) ORDINANCE NO. 2255 APPROVED 13. PZ 97-46 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AMENDING THE NRH MASTER PLAN WITHIN THE MID-CITIES OVERLAY ZONE. ORDINANCE NO. 2256 APPROVED Mr. Barfield stated that a letter had been received from Bill Souder asking that all his property on Mid-Cities Blvd. be included as commercia: in the future land use plan rather than show his property as having two different land use characteristics, Mr. Barfield then asked Mr. LeBaron to explain the Mid-Cities Corridor Study. Mr. LeBaron explained that the City Council had adopted a new master plan in 1992 which covered the entire city. Mr. LeBaron explainea that in Texas, zoning laws require cities to zone property in accordance with a master plan. The master plan represents the best crystal ball as to what the ::ity will look like in the future. The current master plan has worked fine for a number of years but as Mid-Cities Blvd. was completed and Precinct Line Rd. was c:;ompleted that the city was faced with a number of rezoning requests which ir,:Jicated that the master plan was in need of updating, However, since funds were not available to update the entire city master plan, only the area along rl/ Id-Cities Blvd. and Precinct Line Rd. was included in the recent study for updating. The Mid-Cities Corridor Study was completed by Municipal Planning Resources Group and generally contains recommendations in three major areas, 1.1) revise the future land use in the Mid-Cities Overlay Zone area, (2) adopt landscaping enhancements in this area, and (3) consider architectural cesign criteria within the overlay zone. Mr. LeBaron stated that tonight's consid,:~ration only looked at revising the future land use within the overlay zone. He stated that landscaping and architectural design would be considered at a future meeting, hopefully next month. The land use component of the study pointed out 'hat the current zoning of many properties is not consistent with the proposed lane use plan for the area. The study also suggested that (1) no future rezoning to incustrial be approved within the overlay zone, (2) consideration be given to initiate rezoning within the overlay zone so that consistency with the future land use plan can be assured, and (3) consideration be given to revise the permitted use table within the overlay zone to delete uses not considered compatible wih quality development. Mr. LeBaron stated that notices of this public hearing were sent over 200 property owners within the overlay zone advising them of trle proposed master plan amendment. Mr. LeBaron stated that approval of the master plan amendment doesn't change anyone's current zoning and doesn't prevent the city from makin~ subsequent amendments in the future. Mr. Barfield asked if a stipulation could be placed on the o\ierlay zone so that future rezoning requests could only be considered as a planned development. Mr. LeBaron stated that there is nothing illegal about a city rezoning its entire city as a planned development. Mr. LeBaron stated that some cities have gotten carried away in the past with the planned development concept and lost sight of the compatibility issues. Those cities have since returned to the traditional zoning district concept as being the most appropriate method of establishing compatible land uses. Mr. Barfield stated that until landscaping regulations and architectural! design criteria are established the city still ha~ limited control over what occurs in the overlay zone. Mr, Davis asked about the possibility of establishing site plan review requirements on commercial development. Mr. Davis exp ained that with site plan approval on all new commercial projects the city woul¡j be in a better position to get quality development. Mr. LeBaron stated that if the city adopted site plan review, then some form of criteria needs to be developed to avoid being arbitrary. Mr. Davis continued discussion about establishirq site plan review requirements for commercial projects in the overlay zone. r'iI1r, Wood expressed concerns over requiring all future projects in the overlay zone to be submitted as planned developments because it would in effect is taking away everybody's zoning rights currently guaranteed under existing regulatiOi's. Mr. Barfield then opened the Ihearing up to comments from interested citizers, Mr, Owen Long spoke by stating he had property at Holida l Lane and Mid-Cities Blvd. and was bitterly opposed to labeling all properties as planned developments and establishing architectural controls. He ~tated he didn't like someone telling him how buildings on his property were going to look, He favored a variety of building styles. He opposed additional landscaping requirements because it took away property that could be IIsed for parking and buildings. Mr. Barfield stated that the property in this areê' is the last chance this city had of establishing good quality development. Mr. Glen Willis, Arthur St. asked when the land use plan would go into effect? He stated that he had a friend that had a piece of property that his house was zoned resielential and his adjacent vacant lot was zoned a~Ficulture and wanted to know if his friend could build a barn. He wanted to know if it was going to change what people could do with their property. Mr. Davis stated it did not change existing zoning of existing properties. Mr. Davis stated that adoption of the land use plan was simply a tool for reviewing future zoning requests it did not force rezoning on anyone. Mr. Willis stated he thought monument signs would be better on Mid-Cities Blvd. He was concerned about ac ::ess on Mid-Cities Blvd. Mr. Jim Makens, Colleyville, stated his concerns about thE study because it was vague and he really couldn't tell what he could use his prcperty for. He also wanted to know if by adopting the land use plan if that did:'I't open itself up to the city coming in and rezoning everyone's property. Mr. DavIs responded by stating that it could be done, but it was not the intention of the city to start rezoning. Mr. LeBaron stated that rezoning under Texas statutes could be initiated by the City Council, the Planning and Zoning Commission or the prop::!rty owner. Mr. Wood stated that North Richland Hills has not in the past and wouldn't in the future initiate rezoning of property. Mr. Barfield then opened the floor to those who are oppost::d, Mr. Bill Delp, 8400 Cardinal Lane asked if this would have any effect on his taxes, He stated he was in favor of improving the standards in the city. He sta~ed that one of his concerns was if this plan had the flexibility to be changed if some property owner came along and changed everything to apartments, He di:ln't want to give E- Systems the right to build anything that may hurt the neighborhood, Mr. Wood stated that the intent that this plan would not add additionc: I lands for multi-family since there were adequate land available that are currently zoned for multi- family. Mr. Bobby Osborne, Cardinal Lane, expressed corcern that once this was adopted, the city would start rezoning everyone's property. Mr. Barfield stated that most zoning changes are market driven. Mr. Barfield closed the public hearing and asked for discu~ sion. Mr, Davis stated that this study was a big step forward and that landscapin~.: and building design may be coming forward in the near future, Mr. Davis statej that approval of the master plan update might make more property marketable because people will know what is planned for the area. Motion was made by Ted Nehring and seconded by Mark "Nood to approve PZ 97 -46 as presented incorporating the request of Mr. Souder. Motion passed by a vote of 6-0, Mr. Ferguson asked about a tract shown as r,:~sidential near the fire station. He expressed concern about it being single famil /. After general discussion it was decided to leave it as shown on the ma~~er plan. 14. CITIZEN COMMENTS There were none. 15.

No right-of-way dedication is required. 3. Sidewalks: The applicant has requested that sidewalks be allowed to be constructed and installed at the time building permits are issued. The Planning & Zoning Commission agreed with this request. 4. Street Lighting: The applicant has agreed to install the necessary streetlights.

The following items are for your consideration. 1, DRAINAGE ANALYSIS The Preliminary Drainage Ar31ysis indicates the need for a swale located along the west property line of Lot 3R3. Therefore, a 30 foot drainage easement is required along this property linE to contain the swale. A covenant has been signed for Lots 3R 1 and 3R3 rega'ding future drainage improvements. 2. FIRE HYDRANT The Design Manual contains criteria for the necessary fire hydrant coverage. Appropriate coverage radii for the applicable fire hydrants also need to be included, This will assist Public Work:;. in determining the need for additional fire hydrants, It appears Lot 3R2 has ad:~quate fire hydrant coverage, Fire hydrant coverage for Lots 3R1 and 3R3 does not meet the criteria as outlined in the Public Works Design Manua 3. ROW DEDICATION Grapevine Highway (SH 26) is de:;ignated as a P6D on the Master Thoroughfare Plan with a 130 foot ultimate right-of-way required. Public Works suggests a minimum of 110 foot ROW. This is :he requirement for the adjacent property to the south, Block 2, Lots 2R 1 and :~R2, The ROW information is incomplete on the PiaL This needs to bE! corrected on the next submittal. The distance from the centerline of Grapevine Highway to the proposed subdivision shall be shown to determine the adequacy ;)f right-of-way along the route and to determine if additional right-of-way is neCE ssary to accommodate the proposed street. Sufficient iron pins shall be found and shown on the topographical drawing together with dimensíons to ade'wately describe all perimeter streets, PO Box 8)060:-) . ,\LJrl:1 Fi'cr¡!2ncl H,!IS T,,·,.:; ...,. : 7'30 1 r"Jor~he;]st 3~:~(J - i ? -5d 1 -552; .

Driveway criteria is ,)utlined in the Public Works Design Manual. 5. TXDOT PERMIT The Plat is bordered by Grapevine'1ighway ( SH26) , a State Highway. If a driveway is to be constructed onto this :itreet, a TxDOT Access Permit will be required. The TxDOT permit applicatio'1 must be submitted to Public \Norks for approval prior to submitting to TxDOT. 6. ZONING The current zoning needs to be clearly indicated on the face of the plat for each Lot. Lot 3R2 is not zoned "OC", 7, BUILDING SETBACK Building setback lines need to be shown for the front of the lots adjacent to Grapevine Highway only, 8, SIGNATURES The appropriate signatures need to bE: added to the Owner's Acknowledgment and Dedication on the Final Plat. In addition, the surveyors seal and signature needs to be added to the mylar of ·'le Final Plat. 9. ADDRESS The address and telephone number for th:; Engineer needs to be added to the Plat. 10 SIDEWALKS The Zoning Ordinance requires sidewa KS adjacent to all public streets. Sidewalks are shown to be constructed on Let 3R2, Lots 3R1 and 3R3 do not show construction of sidewalks.

Skare, P.E., Staff Engineer SUBJECT: PS97 -51; NOB HILL CENTRE'; Block 1, Lots 1 :~ 2; Final Plat We have reviewed the subject documents submitted to this office October 17, 1997. The following items are for your consideration. 1. GRADING PLAN The submitted grading plan and drainage analysis requires a few revisions, The marked up set of plans is available for the Engineers, As stated in the letter to David Barfield from Gregory DickEms dated October 6, a letter of agreement is required from the adjacent propeiy owners The letter is required prior to the plat being placed on City Council ,Igenda for consideration, 2 FIRE HYDRANT It does not appear additional fire hycrants are required, based on the water layout plans provided. Appropriate cove-age radii for the applicable fire hydrants will need to be shown on the water layout sheet with the next submittal. 3. METES & BOUNDS The Metes and Bounds Descripti:m and the exhibit are not in agreement. The discrepancy occurs in the second t'J the last call. This needs to be resolved with the next submittal. 4 UTILITY EASEMENTS The Subdivision Ordinance recuires a 7,5-foot Utility Easement on both sides of all water and sanitary sewer mains The easement running east and west parallel to the south property lin:: should be a sanitary sewer easement, not a water line easement. The sanitary sewer main needs to be centered in this easement. It is shown to be 10 feet off of the property line. These items need to be revised on the next submittal. 5 ACCESS EASEMENT The access easement needs to be described with bearings and distances and described as a "Public" Access Easement. f) 0 8)< Cl?Oijl]:j . 'Jy¡¡ - :',-1 -~ ~, ~ . if¡, /30 1 ~lOí::ir~~,]'3r . J i / -.... . ') ì ~ ; ~.~ 6, OFF SITE EASEMENTS There are two off site easements required. One for the water line along Precinct Line Road and one for the sanitary sewer main originating in Martin Drive. These off site easements and exhibits need to be preparE!d and forwarded to the Public Works Departrrent for review. The signed easemEmts need to be transmitted to the Public Works Department for filing with the approved Final Plat. 7 .sJJ:ili. EASEMENT This Commission required the sigrl easement to be clearly described on the Plat during the Preliminary Plat review. This needs to be added to the Final Plat with the next submittal. 8, ROW DEDICATION Due to the variable ROW, the dstance from the back-of-curb of the existing roadway to the ROW line Df the proposed subdivision shall be shown to determine the adequacy of right-of-way along the route and to determine if additional right-of-way is necessary to accommodate the proposed street. These dimensions shall be shoV\n on the topographical drawing¡. Indicate the number or other designation on the "THD" monument found at the northeast property corner. 9. DRIVEWAY SPACING Section 1-01 requires a site plan to be submitted with the construction plans. This plan was not included. Trle plan will need to be included with the next submittal. Due to the minimum driveway and street entranC~3 spacing allowed on Major Collectors, no add tional (beyond the one propose,d on the submitted grading plan) access drive'3 will be allowed along Precinct Line Road. 10 TXDOT PERMITS The Plat is bordered by Precinct Line Road, a State Highway, A TxDOT Access Permit is required for the reconstruction of the driveway approach, The TxDOT permit application must be submitted to Public Works for approval prior to submitting to TxDOT The extEmsion of the water line in Precinct Line Road requires a Utility Permit from TxDOT. The plan needs to be revised and resubmitted to Public Works for review, prior to the application being forwarded to TxDOT 11. SIGNATURES The appropriate signatures need to be added to the Owner's Acknowledgment and Dedication on the Final Plat. 12. SIDEWALKS The Zoning Ordinance requires sidewalks adjacent to all public streets. The existing sidewalks were "temporarily" constructed by the City to provide a path for the school children along Precinct Line Road, It is the owners responsibility to reconstruct the sidewalks in the proper' location. It is important to have the sidewalks shown on the street plans so that the utilities will not be constructed to interfere with the future sidewalk. 13. STREET LIGHTING Street Lighting is required by Section 1-06 of the Design Manual. As previously requested, the locations of any existing street lights need to be shown on the topographical drawing to confirm c8mpliance with current ordinances, Any additional street lights which may be required based on current ordinances, needs to be coordinated with Public Wor~s and TU Electric. The cost for installation of any additional street lights will te paid by the developer directly to TU Electric. 14. ENGINEERS CERTIFICATION An Engineers Certification (such as the one included in the Subdivision Ordinance) needs to be included with the drainage calculation sheet in the construction plans, 15 INSPECTION FEES Inspection fees will be due prior 10 starting construction, The current rate is four (4%) percent for water and sewer and three (3%) percent for streets and drainage. There are a few comments regarding the engineering and construction plans. These comments are recorded on a set of blueline construction plans. The Engineer has been contacted regarding the plans. The comments contain€,ej herein do not purport to relinquish the design engineer of their responsibility to provid:~ adequate, accurate and buildable construction plans. The City's eventual approval of the construction plans will not signify acceptance of responsibility by the City of NorHl Richland Hills for the engineering in the bid documents, The marked-up blue lines need to be returned with the next submittal. .'/"1, .

Ordmance No. 2252 Agenda Number: GN 97-132 The fee schedule in the current NRH Mechanical Code occasionally creates confusion to some area contractors. The confusion is created because the construction value multiplier includes a percentage of construction value which makes it difficult to determine where to place the decimal point when calculating the permit fee. The attached Ordinance No. 2252 deletes the word "percentage" and inserts the word "multiplier."

The plan that was presented at that meeting called for the financing of the attraction with future debt which will probably be revenue bonds. The City has planned to do debt financing for certain budgeted, Council approved projects in the Spring of 1998. At that time we will meet with the rating agencies, issue the debt and receive the funds for the projects. In " 997 our schedule began with the rating agency meetings in April and we received the funds in early June, If we repeat this schedule in 1998, it will be necessary to provide for interim financing for the new:lttractíon which will be completed in time for the Park opening in May. In the past, we have funded prDjects with existing funds until we sold the bonds. When the bonds are sold we "repay" the interim financìng funds with the bond proceeds. We plan to use existing Aquatic Park and Parks Development Corporation funds to interim finance the project. To do this, a reimbursement resolution should be approved ':Jy the City Council, Subject: Intent to Reimburse Expenditures with Proceeds Of Future Debt - Resolution No. 97-55 Agenda Number: GN 97-134 Recommendation: It is recommended that City Council approve Resolution No, 97-55 declaring its expectation to reimburse capital expenditures with proceeds of future debt. -- ---- - - ---- ------- ~---~-~---------------~~-~---~~--- - Finance Review ----_._------~_._----_._---,----_.__._------ Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

In order to determine the property's highest and best use--and reveal the types of businesses needed in the Northeast Tarrant market--Raytheon/E-Systems and Arcadia officials plan to engage a consulting firm (ZimmermanNolk & Associates, Inc.) to prepare a $109,000 Market Position Analysis (MPA). Since the proposed development includes proposed Park & Recreaton amenities--and the MPA will reveal data of use to the City's Economic Development program--Raytheon/E-System and Arcadia representatives requested North Richland Hills' participation in financing the MPA. At the November 18 work session, it was the consensus of the Council to participate financially in the MPA, not to exceed $22,000. This action item has been prepared as a follow-up to obtain formal approval. RE~QMMENDA TION It is the recommendation of City staff that Council: 1 . Authorize the City Manager to negotiate a Letter of Agreement with Raytheon/E-Systems Trust and Arcadia Realty Corporation to approve the selection of ZimmermanNolk Associates, Inc. and to share in the costs of producing a Market Position Analysis for development of 333 acres immediately north of NRH20 not to exceed $22,000. The Letter of Agreement will stipulate that the City shall receive a certain number of copies of the MPA as a result of its participation. 2. Amend North Richland Hills' 1997/98 Budget to reallocate $11,000 from the Parks Facility Development Corporation and $11,000 from Economic Development Department to cover the City's share of the MPA's costs. Raytheon/E-Systerns Trust and Arcadia Realty Corporation will pay the balance ($87,000) of the $109,000 study. ~.~~~-----~--~--- Finance Review --------~._~---._._- Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

The immediate reason is the new four lane divided roadway from Precinct Line Road to Davis Blvd. The extension of Mid-Cities Blvd provides through access from Precinct Line to Rufe Snow Drive. The availability of the roadway and the quality of the Mid-Cities Blvd corridor will likely be a significant incentive for development to occur along this roadway. It is prudent that the City of North Rìchland Hills examine the existing conditions of the corridor, consider the possible nature of new development, and implement regulations that will assure that new construction will be of the highest quality, To that end, this study has been conducted. The geographic area of the study is confined generally to that area which is adjacent to the Mid-Cities Corridor. It also includes the undeveloped area located between Mid-Cities Blvd and Smithfield Road. The Study Area Map provides a graphical illustration of the general limits of the study Area, Page 1 'pt;l9Un}OU!09Jd D d¡ lJ/ if <, H ,/lJ/ II 1//1 " ..~ 1,/4."., I fJ/ 1, i ..1' ; /IJ >- ¡ G) m ... .! 5 G) .c >- " c I'.'» II .- .., == !iJ:: t - 0 't1 0 (/) 5 II 0 ~f;.&õ - (/) ....I 5 5 := >- .- C E I: II .- ._ 0......1 I !

U " i A total six major roadways are located within the study area: Precinct Line Rd., Rufe Snow Dr, Davis Blvd, Smithfield Rd, and Grapevine Hwy. In addition, Holiday Lane intersects Mid-Cities Blvd between Davis Blvd and Rufe Snow Dr. These roadways both define the limits of the study and provide adequate vehicular access throughout the area. Existing Land Use The majority of the land within the study area is undeveloped. In fact very little development has occurred, in this area, since the last detailed land use study in 1992, which was at the time of the preparation of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Therefore, it can be expected that a significant amount of development will likely occur in this area in the near future. The existing conditions within the Mid-Cities Blvd Corridor Study are prime for development to occur. As shown on the Existing Land Use Map, the predominant development in this area has been for public use. The City's complex, which houses the fire station on MId-Cities Blvd, and the construction of the new high school faCilities are the dominate developments along Mid- Cities Blvd. Smithfield Road and Davis Blvd both provide access to new residential development; but as of this date, residential development has not been proposed to access Mid-Cities directly. The major traffic corridor of Grapevine Hwy. and an improved Precinct Line Rd will likely encourage further development of office type commercial use, such as the Aegon facility.

"Urban Form" is generally interpreted to mean the physical pattern and form that cities take as land is developed. When planned according to accepted planning principles, the city's form provides aesthetic places to work and live, as well as protects the general value of property. Neighborhood Concept The neighborhood unit concept, as shown in The Neighborhood Concept, is one of the oldest and most widely used and accepted principles for residential development. This concept helps to create quality spaces for people to live. The concept places primary emphasis on creating neighborhoods that buffer the impacts of elements from outside the neighborhood unit. The relevance of a corridor plan on the neighborhood concept is that neighborhoods are defined by the perimeter corridors which run along their edges. Since there are residential areas located within the study area and since it is likely that future residential developments may occur, it is crucial that these residential neighborhoods develop in harmony with the corridor. It is also crucial that vehicular traffic along the corridor not invade the neighborhood. Ideally, the only traffic, that should enter the neighborhood, is traffic which has an ending destination there. Therefore, it is critical that a minimum quantity of local subdivision roads intersect with Mid-Cities Blvd. It is also critical that Page 5 «ì ;;... .0 ] ., v ~ ] 1 ! .~ ~ ~ 'ë; -g 6 :;¡j!!þ ï:: .;.:$þoq .s .S'ª, .5 '" v .151 oS "t:I_ .5 130S "t:I ,g.~ 2 ;] ] g:.õ .15 ~ 68 "t:I 13 ]] ~ "'e: i -0 ~:! ~ 2~ !! ~~ .s 'I:: v ... 8. oS i, 'ë; :E § 6 '00 '';:; § '¡;: g ~ !I ., 'õ '1:: ~ b.O § -æ t '" 'õ &i '" ¡,:;: 'I:: ~ ~ ]j ~ ] i .s ... .c ..2 b.O qJ } æ ::õ .s 'æ ... .,; ,:!: 8. &i -æ ~ :¡ ] '1:: ~ ! v æ ... -8 0 .

Collector roads may intersect the arterials in order to provide residential lots with access to the arterial; but direct access from the lot should never occur. A well designed neighborhood takes into consideration the location of different land uses within and on the periphery of the neighborhood. Low density housing should typically be located in the interior of the neighborhood, close to schools, parks, and other community facilities. Moderate density housing, as well as high density housing, may be located near the periphery and on collector streets. These denser residential uses are often located between commercial and low density residential areas. When this occurs, they are considered as being "buffer" uses or "transitional" uses. Commercial land uses should be located along the periphery of the neighborhood at the intersections of arterial streets. They may also be located along the arterial in a corridor. In any case. commercial uses should always be oriented such that the principle direction of traffic in and out of the site IS directed towards the arterial street and never into the neighborhood. Commercial Development Form There are primarily two commercial development forms, as it pertains to commercial land use: Node Commercial and Corridor Commercial. Node commercial forms occur at the intersections of major arterial roads such as Precinct Line Rd. & Mid-Cities Blvd, Davis Blvd & Mid-Cities Blvd. and Rufe Snow & Mid-Cities Blvd. The characteristics of both forms are shown on the Commercial Development Forms illustration. Page 7 CD Incompatible land uses require buffering using trees & walls or a combination thereof, @ Depth of Corridor Commercial should be not more than 300 feet and not less than 1 50 feet. ß[jI C C I:iJ ¿] C ¿] ~ [ilß .... r @ Design along corridors include uniform signage, shared drives, landscape buffers between roadways and parking lots, and landscaping in the street yards ..... , @ COrridor development should orient traffic toward Arterial Streets and discourage entering residential neighborhoods Corridor Commercial CD Access to commercial property does not encroach into residential neighborhoods, All access is directly from thoroughfare streets. @ Size of Commercial Node IS not restricted by width or depth, whatever IS sufficient to perform the necessary commercial activity, unlike COrridor Commercial which is encouraged to not exceed 300 feet In depth Node Commercial @ Buffering between single family and commercial uses may consist of landscaping, and/or solid walls In addition dumpsters and mechanical equipment areas should be screened, @ Interior of parking lots should be landscaped, @ Commercial node may Include all corners of the Intersection or any combination thereof. Primary characteristic IS that the commercial activity is directed towards the intersection and does not extend laterally down the intersecting streets Commercial Development Forms MidCities Blvd. Corridor Study The nodal commercial form of commercial land use development consists generally of land that develops around the intersection of major thoroughfares and, at times, at locations where collector streets intersect major arterials. High intensity commercial uses are typically located at the intersections of arterial streets. Less intense commercial uses, such as professional offices may then be located between the high intense commercial uses and the residential land uses located in the interior of the neighborhood. In companson, corridor development locates commercial uses along an arterial between major intersections. The corridor development form is typically characterized by high intensity commercial uses that are located near the intersections of major arterials and less intense commercial uses along the arterial between the intersections. It is important to limit commercial development along the corridors to depths generally not exceeding 200 to 300 feet. Deeper development may create possible conflicts in land uses and potentially land-lock some properties. At locations where streets intersect with the corridor, a tendency may be to permit commercial uses to extend Into the neIghborhood. On occasions, this may occur where the continuation of the commercial use along the intersecting street with the artenal does not introduce commercial uses that are high volume or environmentally unpleasant. This practice is not inconsistent with the corridor concept so long as the commercial activity does not draw traffic into the interior of the neighborhood, all traffic patterns are directed towards the artenal, and the commercial use abuts an existing commercial use that has access to the arterial. However, the extension of the commercial uses further into the neighborhood would not be recommended. Page 9 Transitional land uses Transitional land uses are also an important element within the Mid- Cities Blvd Corridor area. It is recognized that not all land uses are compatible with each other. Likewise, some land uses are more compatible with others. For example, an industrial land use is generally not considered compatible with a low density single family residential use. It is therefore desirable to avoid development of these two uses adjacent to each other. By limiting the number of areas where these incompatible land uses are located adjacent to one another, we recognize the interrelationship between land uses; and, we avoid encroachment of non-residential uses into residential neighborhoods. On the other hand, an industrial land use is often considered to be more compatible with commercial land uses, so it may be appropriate to develop the two uses adjacent to each other. In situations where incompatible land uses are developed adjacent to one another, it is important to keep these relationships in mind and to provide either transitions or buffers to protect the less intense use, We would recommend that, within the Mid- Cities Blvd Corridor area, no future land use be zoned for industrial purposes. We would also recommend that the undeveloped industrial districts be changed to districts more compatible to the corridor. Because of this recognition of land use compatibility, it is desirable to transition from higher intense uses to the lesser intense uses. Usually this is considered to be from an industrial use on one extreme to low density residential use on the other extreme. This transitional process should be ultimately accomplished through the zoning process. Zoning districts have a variety of intensities within each category of land use. Therefore, the commercial categories for the corridor may be distributed Page 1 0 among the commercial zoning districts contained in the zoning ordinance. Therefore, the zoning process should further refine the land use plan. Screening Walls and Buffers It is inevitable that incompatible land uses are going to occasionally be located next to each other. When this occurs, the appropriate action is to provide a means to soften the edge between the two uses. This may be accomplished in two ways: 1) by constructing screening walls; or 2) providing a buffer area between the two incompatible uses. The preferred option would be to have a significant open space area located between the uses. However, that is not always possible. The next preferred option would be to have the combined use of a screening wall and landscaping. In any case and at a minimum, a screening wall or landscaping screen of plant material should be provided between incompatible land uses. Screening Walls: Walls that are used for the purpose of screening incompatible uses should be solid. Wooden fences are not recommended for this purpose because they have a tendency to deteriorate over a short period of time. In additIon, they may eventually lose panels and cease to function as a visual barrier. The visual unsightliness of deteriorated wooden fences may constitute a more offensive situation than the unscreened incompatible uses. In addition, the properties of a wooden fence cannot offer an adequate barrier to offensive sounds from adjacent uses. For these reasons, it IS recommended that all screening walls consist of solid masonry material. When combined with landscaping, the buffer provides an adequate barrier from visual and sound pollution from adjacent incompatible uses. Page 1 1 Screening walls placed adjacent to public roadways should always be combined with a variety of landscaping material. In addition, construction techniques should be used that provide for a visual variation in wall pattern and elevation. Alternating runs of masonry and wrought iron can provide a variety in the screening wall. When wrought iron is used, landscaping should be included to assure visual screening. In addition, instead of a straight alignment along the property line, a ten foot screening easement may be permitted adjacent to the property line to permit a curving in-and-out alignment within the easement. Again, landscaping should be incorporated with the screening wall. Landscaoe Buffers: Incompatible land uses may be entirely screened by the use of landscaping material. There may be occasions where a six foot screening wall, while limiting access, does not provide adequate characteristics to prevent sound or visual buffers. This may occur, for example, when a more intensive use such as a commercial or industrial use is located on an elevation significantly above the less intense use such as a residential land use. When the elevation at the foot of the screening wall is at least four feet lower than the base of the commercial or industrial structure being screened, a wall may not sufficiently screen the commercial or industrial use, Since it is unreasonable to expect a wall to be constructed that would be tall enough to accomplish the screening, the use of landscaping is necessary. For all sites which exhibit this condition, it is recommended that rapid growing trees, at three (3) inch diameter at planting, be placed along the screening wall at fifteen (1 5) foot intervals. If sufficient land area exists between the incompatible land uses, the commercial or industrial use may wish to incorporate the use of berms in the screening and buffering plan. Page 1 2 Focal Points and Entry Statements In order to emphasize the unique character of the Mid-Cities Blvd Corridor, the points of entry into the corridor should be defined. The primary entry locations are Precinct Line Rd & Mid-Cities Blvd and Rufe Snow Dr & Mid-Cities Blvd. At these locations, special treatment should be taken to landscape the intersection. Similar features may be considered at other locations, such as the east and west corridors of the intersection of Davis Blvd. and Mid-Cities Blvd. Due to the high visibility of these locations, they tend to transmit a sense of the design of the corridor. Rather concrete being the dominant characteristic, green space, landscaping, decorative signs and sign age, and perhaps a simple monument or sculpture should be used to announce the entrance into the corridor, as shown in the illustration below. Short sections of street pavers, located in the intersection only, may also accent the entrance or focal point , ~ -, ;(' ~ """,", ,j ...."..., ..~~\ " .t !:;...-..- Flags and Decorative Signage Walls and Landscaping Alternative Entry Design Features Page 13 Parking Lot Access The nature of driveway access from the corridor into the commercial property can greatly define the character of the corridor. In situations where commercial properties are permitted to have two or even three points of access from an arterial, the combine number of driveway cuts, accumulated from all the commercial properties located along a corridor, can be significant. Multiple drive entrances create conflicts in traffic on the corridor. This conflict may often result in increased traffic accident events as well as possible loss of property and even life. In addition, multiple driveway entrances is one of the characteristics of strip commercial development. It is important to note that there is a difference in strip commercial development and corridor commercial development. Strip commercial development often is associated with reduced property values as well as visually declining commercial neighborhoods. Good corridor design provides for access to commercial properties with reduced driveway access. This requires cooperation of adjoining properties. The most common means of reducing driveways is to require joint driveway access. This can be accomplished by requiring mutual access easements on the common boundary lines of commercial subdivisions. In addition, when a number of narrow commercial properties are located along a corndor, it may be possible to provide a parallel access road that ties a number of the properties together. Under this situation, some properties may not have a driveway directly accessing the corndor. However, as shown in the Typical of Shared Driveway Access illustration, access is provided by a mutual access easement that runs across all properties and provides everyone with access to the corridor.

It is important to note that this land plan has been developed using solely the planning principles and the consultant's knowledge of development trends in the City of North Richland Hills. It is strongly recommended that prior to any plan being adopted, that would amend the existing Comprehensive Land Use Plan for this area, an analysis of community goals and objectives and citizen input should be obtained. However, for the purpose of this study the following land plan for the Mid-Cities Blvd Corridor is being presented. As shown in the Future Land Use Map, the Mid-Cities Blvd Corridor has commercial land uses located adjacent to the roadway. This corridor of commercial property should be restricted to 200 to 300 feet; and should only exceed that upon unique situations. The plan does not encourage any additional industrial uses within this area. The presence of existing residential uses, the new high school, as well as the professional offices located at the Aegon site does not support industrial use in this area, The only high density residential use has been limited to an area near Rufe Snow Dr that IS currently zoned for that purpose. This land plan proposes that a significant amount of the area be used for purposes other than what it is currently zoned. However, it is our opinion that the proposed land plan better supports the potential capabilities of the Mid-Cities Blvd Corridor to be a focal point for northern North Richland Hills. This plan is in agreement with the neighborhood concept plan and the commercial development forms as described earlier.

Zoning The existing zoning within the Mid-Cities Blvd Corridor area does not promote the development of a corridor consistent with the character of those described by this document. In order to facilitate the development of the Mid-Cities Blvd Corridor, as presented herein, significant changes must be made in the zoning of property located in the area. As shown on the Zoning Map, significant area is currently allocated for industrial use. In addition, there are a number of properties which are currently zoned for agricultural purposes. It is our recommendation that all industrial and agricultural property be rezoned to either C-2, or R-3 as directed by the Future Land Use Plan. It is anticipated that a Mid- Cities Blvd COrridor Overlay will be created that will further regulate the quality of development that occurs in the study area. However, for the overlay district to work properly, the appropriate underlying districts must be obtained. For that reason, it will be necessary to conduct two zoning actions simultaneously. The first action will be to change the zoning of the current industrial and agricultural currently zoned land to the appropriate zoning. The second action will be to adopt a Mid-Cities Blvd Corridor Overlay district. This action will require appropriate notification of all property owners and a public hearing as prescribed by law for zoning changes.

The overlay district will not replace the underlying districts; but will refine and expand regulations. In instances where regulations in the underlying districts are acceptable to the corridor, the overlay district may be silent. Landscaping The overlay district should provide for a unified landscaping plan throughout the corridor area. The current landscaping regulations do not mandate shrubs, trees, or flowering beds with seasonal color. The current landscape regulations require only that 1 5% of the total lot be landscaped. If the site has available land, the total requirement may be provided in grass area only. It is recommended that the overlay district a. require that 50% of the landscape requirement consist of shrubs, trees, and flowering beds with seasonal color. In addition, the majority of this requirement for shrubs, trees and seasonal color must be located in the front yard area, b. if parking is permitted in the front building line area, a landscaped buffer of at least five feet must be provided between any parking space that is directed" head-in" towards the corridor. Parking Parking lots and drive areas will comprise a significant amount of the land area located immediately adjacent to the corridor. The overlay district should provide the following: Page 20 a. curbs must be provided on all driving and parking surfaces. Parking lots and driving areas generally have poor edge treatment, often the paving simply stops at grassed areas without the use of curbing. A raised curb should be required for all parking and driving surfaces. b. curb stops should be required on all parking spaces that "head-in" to any landscaped area. When vehicles extend over the curb, landscaping is often destroyed. Curb stops should be required such that the overhang of a vehicle is contained totally in the parking space. c. parking of vehicles should be prohibited within the building line set-back areas on a lot. The typical commercial site generally consists of a building located along a building line, with the parking area located between the street and the structure. This tends to clutter the visual landscaped areas with vehicles and disrupts the aesthetic character of the corridor d. shared drives and parallel access drives should be required on all sites. Multiple driveway entrances for individual lots should be prohibited, unless it is physically impossible to provide shared access to the lot. Signage Regulations pertaining to slgnage should be provided such that a consistent look is provided throughout the corridor. Signage should Page 2 1 provide commercial establishments with opportunities for identification without adding clutter to the corridor. Regulations pertaining to signage should include: a. limit the height of a sign to 25 feet and a maximum size of 100 sq. ft. The current regulations would allow a sign to be 50 feet in height and be 300 sq. ft. in size, provided it was located at least 25 feet from the street right-of-way line and the lot had at least 300 feet of frontage. The sign regulations should still permit major development pylon signs, provided the development contained at least 100,000 sq. ft. of floor space. Architectural Features Commercial structures within the corridor should present an architectural style that provides character to the area and enhances the image of the community. The architectural appearance of a building is often related to its shape, roof design, window and door treatments, porches, and number of surface planes created. Flat roofs are unattractive as compared to roofs wíth slope. The corridor regulations should encourage archítectural relief in the structures. Square buildings with straight box store fronts should be discouraged. The following architectural features should be addressed in the corridor overlay district: ... a. two story structures should be prohibited within the first 100 feet ,." ,d of any lot. It is important to maintain the scale and aesthetic o j character of the corridor. Multi-story structures set close to the Page 22 corridor tend to disrupt the visual effect of the landscaping and other aesthetic treatment applied throughout the corridor. b. all exterior surfaces of structures should be limited to brick or stone. Concrete block and stucco should be prohibited. However, allowance should be made that permits the use of wood, glass, or other material, when that material completes the architectural theme of the structure. But use of these materials must be specifically approved. c. the design of the structure must include relief to the walls and roof of the structure. Single uninterrupted surface-planes should not be permitted. The roof of the structure may be a flat roof construction, but must provide a variation of the roof line which may include a pitched roof for architectural relief. Permitted and Prohibited Uses In order for the corridor overlay district to be effective, uses must be limited and prohibited. It is recommended that service uses and retail uses that require large areas of outside storage be prohibited. These uses would include vehicle car lots, rental facilities, auto repair facilities. and self-storage facilities, The overlay district must prohibit all permanent outside storage and display. Utilities Within the overlay zone, it is recommended that all development be required to place future utility services underground. If it is determined that underground utilities are not feasible, the utility service should be located in the rear of the facility. Page 23 Conclusion The Mid-Cities Blvd Corridor is a new opportunity for urban development to occur. Because it is mostly undeveloped, it also provides the City with an opportunity to plan for a corridor that can provide the City of North Richland Hills with a focal area that will attract businesses and visitors. The plans and recommendations outlined in this study have as their goal the development of a unique and aesthetic corridor located along Mid-Cities Blvd. It is likely that some members of the development community will see the requirements and regulations outlined in the overlay district as being overly restrictive. They are certainly restrictive. However, they are restnctive by design, for the purpose of providing all the people of North Richland Hills and the surrounding region with a high quality commercial corridor that meets service and retail needs and provides as a secondary product an attraction in itself.
