TR 2007-03
Public Hearing and Consideration of Amending the North Richland Hills Zoning
Ordinance to require a Special Use Permit (SUP) for duplex, triplex or fourplex,
multifamily and townhome dwelling uses.
The Public Hearing was opened at 7:03 p.m.
Eric Wilhite stated that staff is bringing forward a request for revision to Chapter 118 of
the Zoning Ordinance regarding Permitted Land Use Tables. The current permitted
land use tables designate all land uses to be permitted by right (P), allowed under a
special use permit (S) or not allowed at all (blank). He stated this change will add "S" to
the permitted use table under the sections for duplex, triplex or fourplex, multifamily and
townhome dwelling uses. Requiring a special use permit is intended to provide
flexibility by allowing certain types of uses in areas where special conditions may need
to be considered to reduce adverse effects on adjacent or surrounding properties. In
addition, the special use permit provision in the zoning ordinance states that staff, P&Z
and City Council review site development elements to further mitigate any necessary
district development type standards or surrounding land uses when those types of
developments are presented. A development specific site plan shall accompany every
application and include all the contents established for site plans and will be made part
of the ordinance. Staff has reviewed this zoning change and recommends this request.
Chairman Shifllet asked if there was anyone wishing to speak for or against this
request. Being none he closed the public hearing at 7:04 p.m.
APPROVED
Steven Cooper motioned to approve TR 2007-03, seconded by Mike Benton. The
motion carried unanimously (6-0).
