The Planning and Zoning Commission voted at their April 9th meeting to request the City Council to reconsider PS 90-30 dealing with masonry screening walls. This issue deals with the ordinance that was approved by the City Council on November 11, 1991 and established a masonry screening wall requirement for new subdivisions developed along certain major thoroughfares. The ordinance amended the Subdivision Regulations and requires the construction of masonry screening walls for new subdivisions developed along M-4-U Collector streets, or larger, where shown on the Master Thoroughfare Plan. Specifically, the Planning and Zoning Commission had originally recommended that masonry screening walls be required for new sUbdivisions which are developed adjacent to C-4-U Collector streets, or larger. However, at the November 11, 1991 City Council meeting the recommendation was modified to apply along M~4-U Collector streets, or larger, as shown on the Master Thoroughfare Plan. Attached is a letter from James Brock, Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding the action taken at their April 9th meeting. since the City Council has a policy regarding the time limit for reconsideration of a prior action, it will be necessary for the Council to determine what action it should take regarding the request from the Planning and Zoning Commission.

WALKER SURVEY, ABSTRACT 1652 FROM R-3 TO I-ION SEPTEMBER 12, 1988 - ORDINANCE NO. 1564 (BUFFER ZONE FOR SUNNY MEADOW ADDITION) Mayor Brown asked Assistant City Manager, C.A. Sanford, to make a brief presentation on the Agenda Item being considered. Mr. Sanford explained that in 1988 when the zoning case was being considered by the City Council on the property located east of the Sunny Meadows Addition, the citizens located in the area expressed concerns regarding the extension of Amundson Road. Of particular interest was the fifty foot buffer strip that was to extend along the eastern edge of Sunny Meadows Addition to provide a buffer between the proposed Amundson Road and the industrial zoned tract to the east. In addition, Mr. Sanford stated that a I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I April 20, 1992 Page 2 125 foot strip of office zoning was to extend along the area east of Amundson Road and the industrial zoned property to the east. After explaining the action taken by the Council in 1988 regarding the E-Systems property, Mr. Sanford read from a letter offered by the owners of the E-Systems tract which explained the proposed dedication of a fifty foot buffer strip extending along the residential lots located along the eastern edge of Sunny Meadows Addition. He explained that the proposed dedication was to assure that the fifty foot strip would be maintained by the City of North Richland Hills and would revert back to E-Systems in the event that the property would no longer be used by the City for a buffer. Mr. Sanford introduced Mr. Dale Hill who manages the E- Systems Pool Trust. Mr. Sanford also introduced Mr. Willard Baker and Mr. Cliff Baker who are the developers of the proposed Spring Oaks Addition located immediately south of the Sunny Meadows Addition. Councilman Scoma asked about the future alignment of Amundson Road and the extension of the fifty foot buffer strip from the northeast corner of the Sunny Meadows Addition to Cardinal Lane. There was general discussion regarding this alignment and Mr. Sanford explained that the alignment would be controlled by the existing intersection of Amundson Road with Cardinal Lane and the proposed termination point of Amundson Road as shown on the proposed plat of Spring Oaks Addition. Mr. Sanford also explained that the exact location of the tapering section of Amundson Road to assure that it lines up with the existing intersection at Cardinal Lane would be established by the City Council at a future date. Dale Hill stated that he would provide the fifty foot strip for buffering to exist south of Watauga Road and have the tapering section occur north of the proposed extension of Watauga Road. Councilman Garvin made the following motion: In order to dispose of the agenda items concerning reconsideration of Ordinance Nos. 1788 and 1789, I move that the previous action of the Council on these ordinances be ratified and that the entire matter be settled by requiring E-Systems to provide the buffer zone north to Watauga Road as shown on the exhibit before the Council. Councilman Welch seconded the motion. Mr. Hill was asked if this would be satisfactory to E-Systems Trust. Mr. Hill repled that it would so long as the Council understood the reverter terms of the buffer zone dedication. Councilman Scoma was recognized by the Mayor; he made the suggestion that the Council not accept the buffer zone dedication with the reverter provision included. Councilman Scoma pointed out that the City did not accept reverter clauses in similar land dedication documents. The Attorney pointed out some prior documents which the City had accepted containing reverter clauses. The Mayor called for a vote on Councilman Garvin's motion. The motion was approved by a 6-1 vote with Councilman Scoma voting nay. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I April 20, 1992 Page 3 3.

(The exact alignment of Amundson will be subject to City staff approval based upon standard engineering criteria.) Out agreement to this buffer is intended to fulfill all buffering obligations contained in the applicable zoning ordinances. In connection with the buffer, the following terms apply: a. The land will be conveyed subject to all existing easements and title matters (not inciuding liens). b. The City may use the buffer for easements except overhead or above ground easements. c. We reserve the right to free access to the underground easements in the strip on a non-exclusive basis, as necessary for utilities to serve our property. d.

Grady Payne on Lot 1, Block 1 of the Nortex Addition. The current zoning of R-8 for zero lot line homes to an R-3 zoning allowing 1400 square foot minim~m homes to be built would make a much more desirable neighborhood for the community and the city. During my 20 years of real estate in residential home sales, the single family R-3 type home has consistently been more in demand than zero lot line homes. The majority of buyers will be first time and second time home buyers that are tired of apartment type living and want a little yard between them and their neighbors. The new zoning would allow that to happen, therefore enhancing the area and creating many jobs for our city. I hope I can count on your support. DB/lb ~ . . -'A ~ ~ ¡ t i'., I ~'. ;~.. J':;' L t S ".

PZ 92-09 The meeting was called to order by Vice Chairman David Barfield at 7:30 p.m. PRESENT: Vice Chairman Members Building Official Dir. Corom. Dev. ABSENT David Barfield Don Bowen Pat Marin Paul Miller Wayne Moody Steve Pence Barry LeBaron James Brock Don Collins Ron Leuck Ms. Pat Marin made the motion to approve the minutes as written. This motion was seconded by Mr. Paul Miller, and the motion carried 5-0. Public Hearing to consider request of H. Grady Payne, Company to rezone 14.6 acres in the Mahala Lynch Survey, Abstract 953, from LR Local Retail and R-8 Zero Lot Line Residential to R-3 Single Family Residential. Vice-Chairman Barfield pointed out that R-3 residential was changed to a transitional zone several years ago. The R-3 zone can only be used as a transition zone between residential and commercial zoning. The public hearing was opened by Vice-Chairman Barfield who asked that anyone wishing to speak in favor of the proposed request to come forward. Grady Payne, 5025 Skylark Circle, came forward to speak in favor of the request. Mr. Payne wanted to upgrade the zoning of the land in 1- ~ I I I I I I I ~ I I I I I I ~ I I Page 2 P&Z Minutes March 26, 1992 order to get larger lots. He stated that he would accept 1550 square foot homes as a minimum area. Mr. Payne felt that this size would fit the transitional zoning requirements. He presented a letter and a list of names from homeowners who were unable to attend, but were in favor of the zoning change. Vice-Chairman Barfield stated that a new ordinance requiring masonry walls along collector streets was recently adopted, and asked if Mr. Payne was aware of this. Vice- Chairman Barfield stated he would like to see a fairly closed subdivision with possibly only one entrance and cul-de-sac streets, all for security reasons. Mr. Payne stated that if engineering allowed such a layout, he would be in favor of such design. Forrest Grubb, 6505 Towne Park, came forward and spoke in favor of the request. Vice-Chairman Barfield asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition to the request. Dennis Pruitt, 3828 Diamond Loch E., came forward to speak in opposition to the request. He stated that his concerns about the proposed change were not only property values, but the environment that his home would remain in. Mr. Pruitt believes that rezoning the area to R-3 would be too small of a home. He would like to see the area zoned at least R-2. Vice-Chairman Barfield asked if there was anyone else wishing to speak regarding this issue. There being none, the public hearing was closed. Vice-Chairman Barfield asked if there was any discussion on this matter. Ms. Marin asked that with the present zoning, what size home I- ~ I I I I I I I ~ I I I I I I ~ I I Page 3 P&Z Minutes March 26, 1992 could be built on it today. Mr. LeBaron stated that R-8 Zero Lot Line regulations would allow a minimum 1200 square foot home, and that R-3 allows a 1400 square foot minimum. Mr. Bowen mentioned that Mr. Payne is agreeable to the 1550 square foot minimum and mentioned that the 1550 square foot number came from the pre-meeting of the Commission. Mr. Bowen stated that 1550 square feet would be a good minimum. Mr. Miller agreed. Vice-Chairman Barfield stated that he was sort-of against R-3 zoning except in transitional zones. The more he looked at things, the more he was convinced that the area under question was a transitional zone. He stated that he came into the meeting with his mind set against the change, but through looking at the configuration he noticed that the area was no more that two streets wide, there was local retail to the north, an R-4- SD zone to the east, and undeveloped land to the south. It was Vice-Chairman Barfield's opinion that this area met the requirements of a transitional zone, and would be valid under the present ordinance. Mr. Miller asked if it were possible that there could be an entrance off of Glenview into this subdivision. Mr. Payne stated that there was a possibility of getting a street on the east to top out on Glenview, and that one of his plans showed such an option. Mr. Payne also stated that he had no problem with breaking the wall and putting in an entrance to Glenview. Mr. Miller stated that he believed it would be a traffic problem to have an entrance on Glenview. Mr. Miller said that the way it is currently drawn is the best way. Vice-Chairman Barfield stated he would like to see the approval of I~ -. I I I I I I I " I I I I I I Ie I I Page 5 P&Z Minutes March 26, 1992 restrictions being placed on a zoning case. Mr. LeBaron stated that many of the restrictions are design restrictions that should normally be left to the platting stage. Mr. Moody amended the motion to approve PZ 92-09 with the minimum requirement of 1550 square feet, and including other applicable R-3 zoning requirements. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bowen. The motion carried 5-0. 2. PZ 92-08 U 1C ear1ng to conS1 er an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance #1080 regarding side yard requirements for permanent type accessory buildings in the R-1 1-S, and R-2 zoning district Vice-Chairman Barfield ed Mr. LeBaron to explain t ·s amendment. Mr. LeBaron explai d that the present regulatLøns for side yards ." were 10 feet d 6 feet, designed to accommo e rear entry garages. He state that he did not antic· te detached garage re sts. Mr. LeBaron explained t the 10 foot requirement also , that this requirement pushes the garage into the back yard. He stated a Zoning Board of Adj tment case triggered looking into he modification to R-l, R-1- , and R-2 zoning district side yar requirements for detac d garages to change them to 6 et from the property line. The roposed ordinance would c nge the side yard requiremen for a permanent detached garag. Mr. LeBaron also stated he fe the need to limit the amount f enclosure on attaching he garage to the house. Vice-C irman Barfield opened the publ· hearing and asked those who wi ed to speak in favor of the ndment to please come forward. ~avid Baxter came forward to sDeak .. ~ I- ~ I I I I I I I , I I I I I I ~ I I Page 4 P&Z Minutes March 26, 1992 an ordinance that would require a masonry wall along Glenview, streets that run in a north-south direction, streets that ended in a cul-de-sac at both ends, that the only entrance come off of Dawn, and that the minimum dwelling size be 1550 square feet. Mr. Bowen stated that he agreed with Vice-Chairman Barfield. Mr. Bowen also stated that this type of home is directed towards older couples looking for smaller homes, and only one entrance would give them security. Vice-Chairman Barfield stated that master plan studies looked at the area from this one over to Highway 26, and have designated this area as a redevelopment zone. He stated that it was important to be flexible on the ordinance to encourage new development and growth and new activities to come into these areas to clean up decaying areas. He stated that this area might be a good example of that. Mr. Pruitt came forward and asked if the property were sold at a later time and not developed now if the zoning would still apply in the future. Vice-Chairman Barfield stated that the restrictions would go with the property. Vice- Chairman Barfield allowed the question to be asked even though the public hearing had been closed. Ms. Marin asked Mr. Pruitt if raising the minimum requirement to 1550 square feet would make a difference to him. Mr. Pruitt stated anything above 1200 square feet is what he was looking for. Mr. Moody made the motion to approve PZ 92-09 with the restrictions enumerated by Vice- Chairman Barfield.

Ordinance #1795 At the January 9th P & Z meeting, action on an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance regarding the Zero Lot Line Zoning District was tabled pending additional staff review. Input obtained from area builders has been incorporated into this proposal which includes a number of recommendations for changes to the Zoning Ordinance. The primary issues considered in this analysis are: * Whether to modify the R-8 zoning regulations to remove an apparent loop-hole or delete the R-8 regulations altogether. * What to do wi th R-8 zoned areas where homes have already been constructed which have a mixture of zero lot line homes and homes with two regular side yards? * What to do wi th R-8 zoned areas where homes have already been constructed with two regular side yards . * What to do with vacant and unplatted R-8 zoned areas. In summary, the recommendation for immediate action is as follows: "Amend the Zoning Ordinance to remove the "R-3" as a permitted use in the R-8 Zero Lot Line District and increase the minimum home size to 1,400 square feet. In addition, amend the regulations to allow R-8 areas to be developed only as a Planned Development." Attached is a proposed ordinance which the Planning and Zoning commission voted at its April 9, 1992 meeting to recommend to the City Council. Finance Review Acct.

However, these actions will require proper notification of property owners, publishing of official notices in the newspaper and scheduling the required public hearings. This process can not start until after the City Council takes action on the R-8 zoning district regulations. These actions will be required to bring existing R-8 zoned properties into compliance wi th the zoning regulations. 1. Rezone the R-8 properties along Cancun Drive and in the Stonybrooke South Addition to a Planned Development District which includes provisions to allow detached homes with "floating side yards" of from zero to five feet. When the side wall is coincident with the side property line, no window openings will be allowed on that wall. 2. Rezone a portion of the Century Oaks Addition from R-8 to R- 2 to match the adjacent developed properties. 3. Amend the Planned Development District regulations to remove any inconsistencies with the revised R-8 regulations. For your information, the attached analysis describes in detail the problems currently associated with the R-8 zoning classification in North Richland Hills and offers recommendations to correct the inconsistencies RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Ci ty Council consider the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission.

APPROVED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION THIS 1992. DAY OF CHAIRMAN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION SECRETARY PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL THIS , 1992. DAY OF MAYOR ATTEST: CITY SECRETARY ATTORNEY FOR THE CITY I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I Ie I I 3 AN ANALYSIS OF ZERO LOT LINE DEVELOPMENT ISSUES IN NORTH RICHLAND HILLS I . BACKGROUND The City Council adopted a Resolution on November 11, 1991 to impose a moratorium on the issuance of building permits in the R- 8 Zero Lot Line Zoning District for 90 days. The 90 day period expired and the Council extended the moratorium for an additional 90 days until April 27, 1992. The 90 day period is to allow time for the staff to complete a study of concerns raised by the Council regarding possible loop-holes in the R-8 regulations. The language in the R-8 regulations allows construction of an "R- 3 structure" in the R-8 zone wi th two side yards, one of which may extend anywhere from zero to six feet. All other single family zoning districts require at least two side yards with none less than six feet. II · PURPOSE OF ZERO LOT LINE DEVELOPMENT The first step in the process of evaluating a zero line type development is to review its purpose as a housing choice. Zero Lot Line developments are designed to allow construction of single family detached dwelling units on narrow lots which have only one side yard, thus reducing the overall land costs by eliminating one of the side yards. Typically, Zero Lot Line developments require one wall of the residence to be constructed exactly on one of the side property lines. Hence, the name Zero Lot Line is affixed to zoning districts with such type of housing construction. Shown on the attached Figure 1 is a typical zero lot line development. A maintenance easement should be provided on the opposite side of a zero lot line lot to allow the adjacent property owner to paint or maintain their home without fear of being denied access to the side of the home built on the property line (see attached Figure 2). Zero Lot Line developments tend to be somewhat trendy in nature and are often considered appropriate for II in-fill" areas where remaining undeveloped tracts are small or have factors which may limit the construction of traditional single family homes with two standard side yards. The area along Cancun Dri ve in the Holiday West Addition is a typical location for zero lot line subdivisions because it is adjacent to other high density housing developments. III. LOCATIONS OF ZERO LOT LINE HOMES The staff has identified six locations in North Richland Hills currently zoned R-8. These locations are shown on the attached location maps, Figures 3 through 7. Three of the areas have not been platted and remain as undeveloped vacant tracts of land. During the preparation of this report, two areas zoned R-8 have received approval of zone change from the Planning and Zoning I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I Ie I I 4 Commission to other zoning designations. However, there are three areas which have been platted into lots and these are areas of immediate concern. These locations are: ( 1 ) Century Oaks Addition, (2) Stonybrooke South Addition, and (3) Holiday West Addition. A small number of homes have already been constructed in these subdivisions with some being true zero lot line type homes and some with two regular side yards. The presence of this mixture of housing types complicates the solution for traditional rezoning of the properties. The existing platted lots located in R-8 zoned areas are available for development should the building permit moratorium imposed by the City Council be lifted and a developer submit an application for a building permit. In addition, the Windsor Park Addition is completely built-out with zero lot line homes, but is currently zoned R-6-T (Townhomes). Townhomes are intended to be "attached housing". The Windsor Park Addition homes are "detached housing". The Windsor Park Addi tion should also be considered for "rezoning" as a Planned Development. IV . ISSUES AND PROBLEMS A significant problem identified in the North Richland Hills Zoning Ordinance is the provision which allows the uses of the R- 3 zoning district to be constructed in the R-8 zoning district. This practice appears to present a loop-hole in the development regulations of the city because it allows developers to construct homes wi th twá narrow side yards which may be less than the normal six feet as is required in other residential zoning districts. Builders may construct a "mini R-3" home using a "sliding scale" side yard of anywhere from zero to six feet. This analysis separates the issues into two major problem areas, and they are as follows: (1) Review the regulations in the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to the R-8 zoning district and make recommendations for changing the text language, and (2) Review the Zoning Map to identify areas where potential zoning problems exist and consider rezoning of these areas to a more appropriate type of zoning classification. v. OPTIONS AND ALTERNATIVES As wi th most planning problems, more than one solution usually surfaces during a thorough investigation. It may seem logical, for example, to simply eliminate the R-8 zoning classification from the zoning ordinance. This type of approach, however, would require housing development proposals submi tted in the future which do not fit into the R-l, R-2 or R-3 zoning districts to only be considered as a Planned Development. Unless the proposal is a genuine Planned Development project and includes some common open areas or mixed uses, then an approach of this nature may I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I Ie I I 5 place the city in the position of appearing arbitrary to applicants of alternate housing type proposals in the future. In other words, the city may be flooded with requests for Planned Development proposals as an attempt to avoid routine zoning requirements. A second option would be to amend the regulations to allow zero lot line developments only as a Planned Development with the R-8 District regulations containing specific requirements for submi ttal of proposals. This approach may gi ve the ci ty the comfort of oversight needed to review a proposed R-8 development on a case by case basis to assure neighborhood compatibility. Another apparent option is to amend the R-8 regulations and simply remove the "R-3" as a permitted use in the R-8 Zoning District. However, should this option be selected then some further action will be required for those areas where a mixture of housing types currently exists. The Planning and Zoning Commission should consider one of the following alternatives summarized below. Alternative One Retain the R-8 regulations, including the R-3 provision, but establish the procedure whereby every home built in the R-8 zero lot line district is required to comply with the following regulation: "Satisfy all the zero lot line requirements if the proposed home is a true zero lot line home, or satisfy all the R-3 requirements, including lot area, lot width and lot depth, if the home is designed as an "R-3 structure" having two side yards". Requiring an R-3 house in the R-8 zone built in the future to meet all the R-3 requirements would require a lot to have a minimum width of 65 feet, a minimum depth of 100 feet and a minimum area of 7,500 square feet. The two side yards would each have a minimum of six feet. This would prevent builders from being selective and choosing only the R-3 requirements that are advantageous to the builder and creating the "loop-hole" in the current regulations. Areas currently zoned R-8 and where the owner wants to build R-3 homes would have to replat the property to contain lots which meet the R-3 minimum requirements. Alternative Two Remove the "R-3" as a permi tted use in the R-8 district regulations. The R-3 is a zoning category and not a actually a "use". This would allow only true zero lot line homes in the R-8 zone. One of the structure walls would be placed exactly on the designated zero lot line property line. A property owner wanting to build something other than a zero lot line home would have to rezone the property I Ie I I I I I I I t' I I I I I I Ie I I 6 and possibly replat the lots to a size which meets the minimum requirements of the new zone. Alternative Three Remove the "R-3" as a permi tted use in the R-8 zoning district, but allow a zero lot line house to have the option of either having one wall placed directly on the designated zero lot line side property line or placed some specified distance from the zero lot line side property line, such as two feet. This option would allow only true zero lot line homes in the district or a slight modification of a two foot side yard. This option would provide some relief for subdivisions which do not have a platted access easement along the opposite side of the adjacent lot. There are some lots in ci ty which have a two foot side yard in the deed restrictions to allow for the extension of roof eaves. The two feet would provide for access along the narrow side yard for routine maintenance. Alternative Four Delete the R-8 regulations from the zoning ordinance altogether. Allow housing proposals in the future which do not meet the requirements of the other zoning districts to submi t as a Planned Development. Some type of minimum cri teria should be established in the Planned Development District regulations to address density and house size. This option will also require some additional action to provide for existing R-8 zoned areas. Alternative Five Amend the R-8 regulations to allow zero lot line developments to only be considered as a Planned Development. The R-8 regulations would include specific guidelines for development of R-8 zero lot line proposals and allow the City to review each on a case by case basis. VI . CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION It is apparent that some action is necessary to correct deficiencies in the R-8 district regulations. Every effort has been made to incorporate ideas and suggestions from area builders and from the owners of properties being considered in this proposal. According to area Realtors, the market for Zero Lot Line homes is extremely limited in Northeast Tarrant County and it is doubtful that zero lot line homes will have much market potential in the future in North Richland Hills. Therefore, the staff recommends that Option Number Fi ve listed above is the appropriate choice for North Richland Hills. It is recommended that the R-8 regulations be amended to allow development of R-8 properties in the future only as a Planned I Ie I I I I I I I ~ I I I I I I Ie I I 7 Development. The current list of permitted uses would be amended to delete the R-3 as a permitted use in the R-8 zoning district. In addition, the regulations for the R-8 Zero Lot Line district should be amended to require only true zero lot line homes be constructed in the R-8 District wi th a slight modification to also allow a two foot side yard. In summary, one wall of a single family home must either be constructed on the designated zero lot line side property line or exactly two feet from the designated zero lot line side property line. No window or door openings should be allowed on the wall when it is coincident with the zero side property line yard and no fencing should be constructed along the wall of the home placed on the property line. The minimum square footage should be increased from 1,200 SF to 1,400 SF. It is recommended to rezone the tract along Cancun Drive and the Stonybrooke South Addition from R-8 to a Planned Development. A portion of the Century Oaks Addition should be rezoned to R-2 to match the zoning of the adjacent tracts. The Windsor Park Addition should be rezoned from its current Townhouse classification to either a Planned Development or to R-8 Zero Lot Line. VII. ACTIONS REQUIRED It is recommended that the Planning and Zoning Commission reopen the public hearing to consider the proposed amendments to the zoning regulations for the R-8 zoning district as contained in the attached Ordinance and to consider addi tional changes as listed below. ACTION NUMBER ONE - AMEND R-8 ZONING REGULATIONS The attached proposed ordinance has been wri tten to allow zero lot line developments only as a Planned Development. In addi tion, the R-3 use has been removed from the R-8 district. The regulations will allow a home to be constructed either directly on one of the property lines or two feet from the zero lot line side property line. The opposite side yard must be a minimum of six feet. An amendment to the Planned Development regulations is also necessary to eliminate confusion between the Planned Development requirements of the R-8 District and other traditional Planned Development projects. ACTION NUMBER TWO - ESTABLISH A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT IN HOLIDAY WEST ADDITION Rezone the area along Cancun Drive as shown on the attached Figure 8 from R-8 to a Planned Development. The Planned Development in this area would allow existing lots where I Ie I I I I I I I t' I I I I I I Ie I I 8 homes have already been constructed with a "mixture" of side yards to be developed with side yards of varying distances on one side and six foot on the other. This procedure will also allow existing homes to remain without making them non- conforming structures. The minimum square footage would be increased from 1,200 SF to 1,400 SF in this "PD". ACTION NUMBER THREE - ESTABLISH A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT IN THE STONYBROOKE SOUTH ADDITION Rezone portions of the Stonybrooke South Addition as shown on the attached Figure 9 from R-S to a Planned Development for the same reasons as listed in Number Two above. ACTION NUMBER FOUR - REZONE PORTIONS OF CENTURY OAKS ADDITION Rezone portions of the Century Oaks Addi tion to R-2 to be compatible with adjacent properties (See Figure 10). No proposed ordinance has been prepared for this area as a part of this analysis. ACTION NUMBER FIVE - REZONE WINDSOR PARK ADDITION (OPTIONAL) The Planning and Zoning commission should provide direction as which is the most appropriate approach for rezoning of this area. The choices are ( 1 ) leave the area as zoned Townhomes, (2) rezone the area to R-S, since the units are all zero lot line units, or (3) rezone the area to a Planned Development and spell out the development standards which reflect the current type of construction. ACTION NUMBER SIX REMAIN ALLOW EXISTING UNDEVELOPED R-8 AREAS TO Allow existing R-8 properties which are not platted to remain as currently zoned. Should the properties develop, they should be developed as Planned Developments as true zero lot line developments. The owners may seek to have the property rezoned to a different zoning district designation. VIII. SUMMARY This report is quite lengthy and rather complex. However, zoning issues of unique housing characteristics are becoming more frequent as the housing market adapts to higher land costs, development costs and construction costs. It is anticipated that additional amendments may be necessary in the future to account for different types of proposals which may not have been contemplated during the development of this report. Planning and Zoning Commission members should be cognizant of the fact that periodic changes to the zoning ordinance are normal. No city has ever adopted a development regulation which has anticipated every conceivable development problem. If this were I Ie I I I I I I I {' I I I I I I Ie I I 9 the case every ci ty would be using the same zoning ordinance. Planning and zoning is every bit an art as it is a science and is most successful when the regulations best meet local conditions. I trust that this report has beneficial in reaching a conclusion.

Consider amendment to Zoning Ordinance #1080 regarding R-8 Zoning District. , I ~ I I I I I I I ~ I I I I I I ~ I I P/Z Minutes - Page 9 April 9, 1992 Chairman Brock opened the public hearing and invited those who wished to speak to come forward. Bill Pasteur, 1900 Trailwood, Euless, came forward to speak. He stated the he, along with Sandlin, have developed the Century Oaks Addition through Quadrangle Development. He stated he did not know the R-8 moratorium was in effect, and just found out there was an effort to revise the ordinance. He stated he purchased property and had it rezoned R-8 because he thought it would help the development come to fruition. He stated that he has developed a few phases of the subdivision. He stated the Commission approved a plat for 36 lots several years ago, and also approved a preliminary plat of 56 lots of about 70 x 100 feet in size. He stated he thought there was a good chance of marketing lots this size. He stated that he had 12 R-8 lots fully developed. He stated that he has 14 acres of additional property zoned R-8 but did not know what the future market would be like. Mr. Pasteur stated that the Commission wanted side yards on his plat so he incorporated them into deed restrictions. He asked the Commission not to consider the recommendation of rezoning R-8 lots to R-2 while he was in the middle of his project. He state the lots are under contract to builders to construct R-8 homes, and rezoning could negate those contracts. . .. Mr. Pasteur stated he doesn't find that changing the zoning to R-2 will enhance the situation. He stated that he is currently trying I ~ I I I I I I I ~ I I I I I I ~ I I P/Z Minutes - Page 10 April 9, 1992 to put together development commitments on the 56 lots. Mr. Pasteur stated that he currently has the right to build 1200 square foot homes. He stated that if the recommendations were passed, it would take away his right to build R-8 homes, to not build with side yards, to build in the middle of the lot, and to build zero lot line homes without making it a planned development. He stated that if approved, there would be no more R-8 zoning. Chairman Brock stated that the intent was to come up with true R-8 zoning. He stated the problem carne up when people tried to build R-3 into R-8. Mr. Pasteur asked the Commission not to change his approved zoning in the middle of his project because of the problems it would create. Chairman Brock stated the Commission will not vote on R-2 tonight; it will looks at changing the ordinance concerning R-8. Mr. Pasteur asked the Commission not to pass a recommendation to the Council. He stated it would seem arbitrary to take action and asked the Commission to grandfather his property and zoning to protect the project he was trying to realize. Chairman Brock stated the Commission does not have the power to grandfather, but that Mr. Pasteur could seek a variance. Mr. LeBaron stated it would be arbitrary to exempt Mr. Pasteur's property from rule changes, but that it doesn't prevent him from applying for a variance. I -- I I I I I I I f' I I I I I I -- I I P/Z Minutes - Page 11 April 9, 1992 Mr. Pasteur stated that rezoning to R-2 would take away his option to build a 1750 square foot home. Chairman Brock asked Mr. Pasteur if it was square footage that he was concerned with. He stated that a stipulation can be placed on minimum square footage. Chairman Brock stated he doesn't want to penalize anyone, but it would be arbitrary to grandfather the property. Mr. LeBaron stated the only difference in R-2 zoning and the deed restrictions is one foot in side yard requirements. He stated that the Board of Adjustment could deal with a one foot variance on a side yard. Mr. Pasteur asked if he would have to get a variance to build homes of less than 1800 square feet. Chairman Brock stated no, the Commission can take care of that. Mr. Pasteur stated that if the recommendations passed he would lose a number of options currently available and would have to meet the planned development requirements that he doesn't currently have to meet. Chairman Brock stated that the intent was to prevent R-3 homes from being built in R-8 zoning. Mr. Pasteur asked why that would not be an upgrading of the R-8. Chairman Brock stated that if the city is going to have an R-8 zone, let's build R-8; if it's something different, call it that. He stated that if Mr. Pasteur wanted to build R-3, zone it R-3 and not R-8. I -- I I I I I I I (-, I I I I I I Ie I I P/Z Minutes - Page 12 April 9, 1992 Mr. Pasteur stated that right now he had the option to go either way. If the recommendation passed, he would lose the option. Chairman Brock stated that he could still go either way. He stated for Mr. Pasteur to decide and come before the Commission and zone it one way or the other. Mr. Pasteur asked if the four recommendations are passed, what will the zoning of his property be. Mr. LeBaron stated that the unplatted property would fall under the new R-8 regulations. He stated the purpose is to give the public the best protection through zoning by separating mixed products within a zone. Mr. Leuck stated that the deed restrictions could be broken. He stated the Commission has no handle on what the market will be like ten year from now, and he wants to keep the neighbors from fighting each other. Mr. Pasteur stated that if the recommendations are passed he would lose all rights pertaining to zoning that he currently has. Chairman Brock stated that the original intent was to establish a true R-8 zone. Mr. Leuck asked what size lots were on the preliminary plat. Mr. Pasteur stated about 71 x 100 feet. He stated all were under contract at the present time. Mr. Leuck asked what the developers were saying about its potential. Mr. Pasteur stated that there was I ~ I I I I I I I ~ I I I I I I ~ I I P/Z Minutes - Page 13 April 9, 1992 some interest in R-8 homes as starter homes. Mr. Leuck stated that it was possible for a zero lot line home to be built next to a non-zero lot line. Mr. Pasteur stated that the deed restrictions on side and rear entry garages would prevent this. Chairman Brock asked for others wishing to speak to come forward. There being none, he closed the public hearing. Chairman Brock asked if they could postpone action to give Mr. LeBaron time to work with Mr. Pasteur and the associated problems. Mr. LeBaron stated that the moratorium will expire on April 27. He stated that if action were delayed, the Council would be faced with extending the moratorium. Chairman Brock stated that if this goes to Council, they will hear the same arguments and send it back to the Commission to work with. Mr. Leuck asked if it could be sent to Council with stipulations of lot size for the 12 properties Mr. Pasteur is worried about. He stated he would like to see it go to Council and get a decision made. He stated that if the market is demanding this type of house, they should proceed with that. Chairman Brock stated that the motion could incorporate the problem with square footage so the Council could take that into consideration to relieve undue hardship on existing developments. Mr. Bowen made the motion to I l.- I I I I I I I rfÞ\ I I I I I I Ie I I P/Z Minutes - Page 14 April 9, 1992 5. PS 90-30 STAFF REPORT CITIZEN COMMENTS recommend the amendment to the City Council with the addition that they look at Mr. Pasteur's situation to see if this can be resolved in some manner. Mr. Leuck seconded, and the motion carried 5-0. Consider recommendation regarding masonry screening wall regulations. Chairman Brock stated that on September 26, 1991, the Commission approved a recommendation to the Council concerning the subdivisi regulations to require masonry screening walls. He stated th Council took action with som amendments to the original ordinance. He stated the Commission is resubmittin and is asking the Counc· to reconsider the origina amendment the way it is written tlealing with the C4U streets as 0 posed to the M4U streets. Mr. Collins made he motion to resubmit the pr vious ordinance, changing it b k from M4U to C4U, that was dat September 26, 1991. Mr. Bowen s conded the motion, and the motion carried 5-0. None. Gorens, residing on Kendra came forward to speak. She as d about the status of Bursey R ad improvements and asked what is appening with North Tarrant Parkway. Mr. LeBaron stated that plan and specs are nearing completion on Bursey Road, and suggested she check with Greg Dickens for more information. He stated that North Tarrant Parkway was at a standstill.

Assistant Director of Utilities Subject: PS 91-31; STEEPLE RIDGE ADDITION - PHASE II; Final Plat and Construction Plans I have reviewed the subject documents and offer the following comments. The second submittal was received by this office on March 9, 1992. 1 · Drainage is entering an underground system offsite and will be exiting the same system offsite. Both locations will require offsite drainage easements to facilitate future maintenance. It appears that the Owner has made an attempt to obtain the necessary easements. The signed easements along with an approval letter from the City of Keller needs to be transmitted to the Public Works Department prior to the Final Plat going to City Council. 2. A Street Lighting Plan has been submitted. The additional street lights need to be coordinated with Public Works and TU Electric. A three-way contract will need to be signed prior to commencing with construction. 3. There are several onsite storm drainage capacity calculations which appear to be incorrect. The areas of concern are indicated on the returned set of blue lines. Sheet 9 indicates a 05 in the system at point 1 2 of 1 74 cfs. Sheet 9 also indicates a 05 in the system at point 13 of 206 cfs. There are no inlets between point 1 2 and 1 3. This needs to be resolved. 4. There are several comments regarding the engineering and construction plans. These comments are recorded on a set of blueline construction plans. The plans have been returned to the Engineer for revision. The comments contained herein do not purport to relinquish the design engineer of his responsibility to provide 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 North Richland Hills for the engineering in the bid documents. The marked-up blue lines should be returned with the next submittal. Ie ~~~ I cc: Barry LeBaron, Director of c-:munity Development I (817) 581-5500 · P.O.

Miller, P.E. Assistant Director of Utilities SUBJECT: PS 91-31; STEEPLE RIDGE ADDITION - PHASE II; Final Plat and Construction Plans I have reviewed the subject documents submitted to this office on January 2, 1992 and offer the following comments. 1 · The City has recently obtained a Global Positioning System (GPS) Horizontal Control Survey. This survey was accomplished to create an accurate base map for the Geographical Information System. City policy requires that all new plats be tied by survey to the GPS. This will allow the City to keep the GIS up-to-date. The Public Works Department has written descriptions for all of the GPS Benchmarks located around the City. This plat should therefore include the Texas State Plane Coordinates for at least one property corner. The coordinates should be determined by a survey tied to the City's GPS. 2. The Metes and Bounds Description contains errors in the fourth and sixth calls. The errors have been marked on the attached plans and should be revised. 3. The appropriate signatures should be added to the Owner's Acknowledgment and Dedication. In addition the Surveyor's seal and signature should be added to the plat. 4. The attached easement dedication should be incorporated into the closing paragraph after the Metes and Bounds description. 5. There are two street intersections which will require Sidewalk and Utility Easements as defined in the Design Manual. The easements should be clearly indicated on the drawing. 6. Drainage is entering an underground system offsite and will be exiting the same system offsite. Both locations will require offsite drainage easements to facilitate (817) 581-5500/7301 N.E. lOOP 820/P.O.

All offsite easements and exhibits should be prepared and forwarded to the Public Works Department for review. The signed easements should be transmitted to the Public Works Department prior to the Final Plat going to City Council. 7 · Building Setback lines should be added for the lots adjacent to this plat. 8. Street Lighting is required by section 1-06 of the Design Manual. The locations of existing and proposed street lights should be shown on a plan to confirm compliance with current ordinances. Additional street lights which may be required based on current ordinances should be coordinated with Public Works and TU Electric. The cost for installation of any additional street lights will be paid by the developer directly to TU Electric. 9. FIVE YEAR DESIGN: a) There is a small area to the east of Phase II which could drain into Trails Edge Drive. The runoff from this area needs to be included in the calculations. Of greater significance however is the ability to increase your pipe flow between design point 1 2 and 13. Sheet 9 indicates a 05 in the system at point 1 2 of 1 90 cfs. Sheet 9 also indicates a 05 in the system at point 13 of 212 cfs. This needs to be resolved. TEN YEAR DESIGN: b) The Design Manual is very specific regarding the criteria for an existing watercourse. The offsite discharge must meet this criteria. A cross section 1 00 feet downstream of the offsite grading must carry the 1 0 year event. The calculations shall include all areas contributing to that cross section. ONE HUNDRED YEAR DESIGN: c) There is sufficient data available to calculate an approximate Base Flood Elevation at the location indicated on the drawings. It appears that there is a backwater affect which will impact on the flume and pipe discharge designs. These calculations shall be included with the drainage analysis and incorporated into the entire design. GENERAL DESIGN: d) There are several Right-of-Ways and street cross sections which are suspect as to capacity vs. flow. The current design captures 287 cfs at point 11. Based on the area, this is equivalent to a 25 year event. If the pipes upstream are designed for less than this event, the flume will become undersized. The design also captures 367 cfs at point 13. This is equivalent to an event greater than the 50 year storm. Since the discharge is not within the City limits of North Richland Hills, we cannot control future development. If the downstream system is designed for less than the 1 00 I Ie I I I I I I I , I I I I I I ~ I I PWM 92-011 STEEPLE RIDGE - PHASE II Page -3- year event, the pipe may become surcharged and again the flume will be under designed. These issues must be resolved. The City of Keller as well as the adjacent property owner must agree in writing with the final solution. There are several other less significant comments included on the plans. 10. An Engineers Certification should be signed and sealed. 11 · The City of North Richland Hills has adopted water and sewer impact fees. In general these fees are due from the Builder (at the time of construction) and therefore do not significantly impact on the Developer. There are some projects however which require the construction of Public Water and Sewer facilities. If those facilities are included in the City's 10 year plan, then there may be City participation available. 1 2. There are numerous comments regarding the engineering and construction plans. These comments are recorded on a set of blueline construction plans. The plans have been returned to the Engineer for revision. The comments contained herein do not purport to relinquish the design engineer of his responsibility to provide 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 North Richland Hills for the engineering in the bid documents. Due to the magnitude of the drainage comments, Public Works is recommending that this plat and construction plans be revised prior to submitting to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The marked-up blue lines should be returned with the next submittal. .- , ì/ .:LJ ,( ~' tf L ~ r~ ~~l(fL · J 'iyY}\.) cc: Barry LeBaron, Director of Community Development I ~I I ~ r\J o I ~ o I I I I I , I I I I I I Ie I I N "''( --i._~::::---' ~ "',.

This property is located on the east side of Douglas Lane, north of Starnes Road. PS 92-07 Agenda Number: Gary Starnes has submitted a Final Plat for Block 2, Lots 1 & 2, Orange Valley Addition _ Sectiön II. This property is located on the east side of Douglas Lane, north of Starnes. Lot 1 is currently zoned R-2 Single Family Residential and meets all zoning requirements. Lot 2 is currently zoned AG Agriculture and has an existing residential house on the lot. The current zoning ordinance requires land zoned AG to be at least two acres in area. Lot 2 has an area of approximately 1. 4 acres. All other zoning requirements for Lot 2 have been met. Land to the immediate south and east of the property is zoned R-2 Single Family Residential. This property fronts on Douglas Lane, which should ultimately be improved to provide a forty-foot roadway. The Subdivision Ordinance requires that the Developer provide his portion of these improvements. Douglas Lane is a C-2-U Collector street on the Master Thoroughfare Plan. The ultimate alignment of Douglas Lane cannot be determined for such a small section of roadway as would be required along this two lot subdivision. Furthermore, the vertical grade alignment may not be compatible with the adjacent unimproved sections of Douglas Lane. Therefore, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the owner be allowed to execute a covenant for these improvements. The Owner has agreed to sign a covenant for the Douglas Lane improvements adjacent to these lots · The Owner has also agreed to sign a covenant for the sidewalk adjacent to these lots. There is an existing sewer line to the east of Lot 1. This sewer main must be extended to the north east corner of Lot 1 to allow for development of land to the immediate north of Lot 1. A four-inch sewer line temporarily serves the existing home on Lot 2. The Owner has agreed to sign a covenant for the construction of future sewer improvements to serve Lot 2. The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed and approved this Final Plat at its April 9, 1992 meeting, subject to all engineering comments.

Are these names and signatures of the current owners of Lots 1 and 2? 2. Building Setback Lines need to be added for Lot 2. 3. This plat fronts on Douglas Lane. Douglas Lane should ultimately be improved to provide a 40 foot roadway. The Subdivision Ordinance requires that the Developer provide his portion of these improvements. These improvements are required by Ordinance and bu are not necessary for the proposed Subdivision. The Commission previously suggested a covenant for future street improvements. Public Works is not opposed to accepting a covenant at this time. 4. The Zoning Ordinance requires that sidewalks be constructed along all newly platted Lots. The street reconstruction will be delayed pending further development. Public Works is therefore not opposed to accepting a covenant for the sidewalk as well. 5. Street Lighting is required by section 1-06 of the Design Manual. An additional street light will be required based on current ordinances. The location should be coordinated with Public Works and TU Electric. The cost for installation of the additional street light will be paid by the developer directly to TU Electric.

There are a few minor comments on the construction plan for the proposed sewer line. Inspection fees will be due prior to starting construction. The current rate is four percent. The future sewer extension in Douglas may be delayed until Lot 2 is further subdivided or the street is reconstructed. A covenant for the future extension needs to be included with the previously mentioned Street and Sidewalk Covenant. The existing home on Lot 2 will temporarily be served from the north. This is only temporary since the sevice line will be laid offsite in a City Easement. When the sewer in Douglas is extended to the north, the service needs to be relocated to Douglas Lane. 7 · There are some minor comments regarding the engineering and construction plans. These comments are recorded on a set of blueline construction plans. The plans have been returned to the Engineer for revision. The comments contained herein do not purport to relinquish the design engineer of his responsibility to provide 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 North Richland Hills for the engineering in the bid documents.

I I I I I I I {' I I I I I I Ie I I INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 92-44 Date: April 20, 1992 Subject: "Occupant Protection Selective Traffic Enforcement Project" - STEP On April 1, 1992, Mr. Jim Smith of the Texas Department of Transportation met with Police Department representatives to discuss this City's possible participation in an ··Occupant Protection Selective Traffic Enforcement Project" (STEP). This project is the result of (1) studies of actual seat belt and child passenger restraint usage surveys and; (2) data collected from accident reports, i.nvolving serious injuries and fatalities, submitted to the state from municipal agencies. A recent traffic survey conducted at six random locations within this City indicate a 52.6 % compliance rate for children and a 51.3% compliance rate for adults. This is lower than averages of a statewide survey conducted in 1991. North Richland Hills accident data indicates that this city ranks number 40 out of the 88 municipalities qualifying for this project. Based on the ranking, this city is elgible to receive $12,000.00 for the STEP project. This grant is for overtime enforcement of the State laws regulating Occupant Protect ion. The grant peri od i s for the months of June through September, 1992. In addition to the overtime enforcement activity, this city will be participating in a Statewide public education program which will include publ ic service announcements through the electronic media, hand-outs to the publ ic and programs to assist parents in obtaining approved child passenger restraints. After reviewing the program and determining it to be a positive benefit to the citizens, the project scope was reviewed with the City Manager and City Attorney. The City Manager approved participation in the project and the City Attorney advised that the "agreement" should be signed by the Chief of Police. The "agreement" has been signed and returned to the State Department of Transportation for approval. Upon approval from the state, this city will participate in the project.

The issues and responses are summarized below: * "Phase I" Environmental Assessment: The attached assessment conducted by Richard M. Hodge, C.E.I., showed no reason for environmental concern nor was there indicated a need for a "Phase II" study. * Proposed Extension of Holiday Lane: Th~ attached graphic, provided by Barry LeBaron, Director of Community Development, shows the proposed Holiday Lane coming to within approximately 100 feet of the northeast corner of the proposed park site. This provides the possibility of a secondary vehicular access point by constructing a small park entry roadway and parking areas, if desired. The extension of Holiday Lane, if implemented, would however present a pedestrian barrier to potential park user~ north and east of the road. * Cost Estimate for Drainage Improvements:· Greg Dickens, Director of Public Works, prepared two estimates for drainage improvements. Cost Estimate #1 includes gabions the full length of the channel for maximum water movement and ease of mâintenance. Cost Estimate #2 eliminates the gabions along the length of the channel and keeps it in its natural earthen state after minor grading and excavation (a savings of $132,170). The application of an "erosion prevention" fabric and Staff vs contract hydromulching could further reduce costs an additional $16,980 bring the revised estimate, without gabions, to $102,350. Further review, by park planning consultants, may provide other creative drainage alternatives which could affect anticipated development and drainage costs. It should be noted that drainage improvements are a common cost associated with park development as in other types of land development. However, channels in many areas of our existing parks have been left in an improved earthen state without adversely affecting park use. * Tax Relief: The Staff and City Attorney have met and the City Attorney is prepared to report on tax relief issues and curb and gutter assessments.

By 1995, the aggregate deficit will be 74 acres distributed between 12-13 sites. The land acquisition cost of 64 acres, at an average cost of $25,000 an acre, is $1,600,000. The typical development costs for an average 10 acre neighborhood park site could be estimated at approximately $250,000 per site. The Parks and Recreation Board reviewed the issues and the attached information at their April 6, 1992 meeting and recommended the acceptance .of this proposed dedication, pending resolution of the associated tax abatement. Their recommendation was based on 1) the opportunity to acquire 10 acres of "neighborhood" park land without the associated acquisition costs (an estimated $250,000), 2) the close proximity to schools and neighborhoods, 3) the suitability of this site for the proposed volunteer built "Creative Playground", and 4) the recognition of the fact there is always some development cost associated with any park construction. RECOMMENDATION: The City·Council is requested to act upon the Park and Recreation Board and Staff recommendation to accept this land dedication for a neighborhood pa~k, _pending resolution of the tax forgiveness issues.

This service is used in connection with our lock-box operation for regular and delinquent notices. The results are outlined as follows: VENDOR PRICE PER SETUP FEE THOUSAND Worth Business Forms $83.80 Included Electronic Printing Services (EPSI) 57.50 54.00 per run The Request for Proposals required the successful bidder be located in Tarrant County to eliminate excess travel time. EPSI is located in Carrollton and therefore does not meet this requirement. The processing center for Worth Business Forms is within a fifteen minute drive from City Hall. The proposal also stipulated the contractor pick-up and deliver the computer tapes containing the billing information from the City and the delivery of completed utility bills to the post office. EPSI proposes to use a courier service to comply with this request. A courier service would require a "scheduled" pick-up time. The utility' bill process has too many unforseen variables and possible delays to make meeting a set schedule practical. The annualized cost for these services from Worth Business Forms is approximately $4,000 more. However, because of the close proximity of Worth Business Forms, a savings will be realized in our time which will be better utilized in service to our community. Recommendation: It is recommended City Council award the contract to Worth Business Forms for the printing of Utility billing information and the mail room service. Finance Review aj .
