Request of Leland Pennington to rezone
Lot B, Calloway Acres Addition, from its
present classification of Multi-Family to
a proposed classification of Commercial.
This property is located at 6916 Glenview.
Brenda Pennington, 6409 Suncrest Ct.,
presented pictures of the existing building
and an artist1s conception of how she wants
to remodel it. She said she wants to have
a children1s clothing shop. Mrs. Pennington
stated the lot next to her1s was Commercial
so that is the reason she decided on
Commercial instead of Local Retail.
Mr. Grubb asked Mr. Bronstad if the house
would have to conform to the building codes
for Commercial zoning.
Mr. Bronstad stated the wiring and the
exterior would have to.
Mrs. Shaunty asked Mrs. Pennington if she
was told the building would not conform
to Commercial.
Mrs. Pennington stated she was not told.
Mr. Grubb told her the outside would have
to be bricked.
The Chairman asked Mrs. Pennington if she
would like for the Commission to table
this request until she has time to decide
what she wanted to do.
Mrs. Pennington stated if she had to brick
it, this would ruin the whole concept. She
stated she wanted to make it look like a
gingerbread house.
Mr. Bronstad stated she would have to either
request a variance from the Zoning Ordinance
or bring the building up to standards.
Mrs. Pennington stated she would brick it
if she was forced to and that she had rather
the case not be tabled.
The Chairman asked if there was anyone who
wished to speak in favor or in opposition
of this request.

Mr. John Barfield presented his request to

not go IF-9.

request was he could move the land faster as
single family.

2200 sq. ft. floor space.

some 1400 sq. ft. homes. He said Mr.
Newman might have built his own personal
home that large.

Richland Hills does not enforce IIDeed
Restrictions. II He stated when the 235

to the Deed Restrictions. He said he was
particularly interested in what was going
to be built around his property. He said
he did not want a "Sampson Parkll on the
East side of him. He said when he got
ready to develop his property, he might want
to build 3000 sq. ft. homes. He said Mr.
Barfield just wants to sellout and get out
as fast as he can, but Mr. Barnett stated
this was his home and doesn1t want to
1 ea ve.
Mrs. Shaunty asked what size homes were
around him.
Mr. Barnett stated there were only 3 or 4
old houses around him.
Mr. Grubb asked Mr. Barnett if he was
against this request.
Mr. Barnett stated he felt Mr. Barfield
should build the size for IF-12.
.

IF-8 & IF-9 with larger size houses.
