IR 2006-002 Update on Application to Council of Governments for Sustainable Development Planninq Grant Mr. John Pitstick, Director of Planning, advised the North Central Texas Council of Governments has a call for projects under the 2005 Sustainable Development Grant funds. The City previously received a grant from the prior call for projects for the signalization at the main entrance to Home Town off of Mid Cities Boulevard. There is $40 million available throughout the metroplex and about $19 million is available to Tarrant County. Funding is available in three areas including infrastructure improvements related to sustainable development projects, land banking and local sustainable development planning programs. To qualify for infrastructure funding a current sustainable development zoning ordinance must be in effect. The City's Town Center ordinance qualifies as a sustainable development ordinance, but it requires a minimum of 100 acres to be repeated and needs to be refined to apply in other strategic planning areas such as Boulevard 26 and the rail sites at Loop 820 and Smithfield. Staff is recommending a planning grant application to create a new sustainable development zoning ordinance that allows a walkable, mixed-use environment. The ordinance could also be fine tuned for the area surrounding each of the potential rail sites and could be applied to the Boulevard 26 area. The Call for Projects is due January 20, 2006 and requires a 20% local match. Staff is recommending a local match of $14,000 from the 4B Economic Development funds. The consensus of the City Council was to proceed with the planning grant application. 4. IR 2006-003 Presentation of Website Redesiqn Ms. Mary Edwards, Public Information Officer, presented the redesign of the City's Web site www.nrhtx.com.

The public hearing was conducted December 12, 2005 and all presentations were made at the previous Council meeting. Mayor Trevino advised that there would not be a public hearing or presentations made by the developer or City.

COUNCILMAN LEWIS MOVED TO APPROVE ZC 2005-09, ORDINANCE No. 2867. COUNCILWOMAN COMPTON SECONDED THE MOTION. Mayor Trevino reminded the Council that the petition of opposition received from the adjacent neighborhood December 12 was a valid petition and will require a super majority vote by the Council to approve. Councilwoman Cox continued her comments from the previous agenda item. Councilwoman Cox stated that sometimes more education and information is needed. Councilwoman Bielik advised she was concerned with the project at last meeting and her reasons included the neighbors' opposition and she did not feel the homes matched the surrounding properties, especially to the south. Councilwoman Bielik advised that since the meeting she has been concerned with the actions of Mr. Edwards and his comments to some council members. Councilwoman Bielik stated she saw foreseeable problems - i.e, for those properties on the south they are not valued as highly as the properties Mr. Edwards wants to build and that it had been her experience with Tarrant Appraisal District that when a nearby property sells the surrounding properties are automatically increased in value causing the owners to have to fight the tax increase. Councilwoman Bielik advised she already receives complaints from owners of expensive homes built in neighborhoods near less expensive homes. City Council Minutes January 09, 2006 Page 10 Mayor Pro Tem Welch advised he brought back the item for consideration because he felt at the time Council was not very well educated on the development. Mayor Pro Tem Welch advised he called Mr. Edwards to find out what his plan was for the property and he said the ultimate plan was to build a church. Mayor Pro Tem Welch advised he felt that was not the best use for the property. Mayor Pro Tem Welch felt it was in the best interest of city to continue looking at commercial and single family development. Councilwoman Johnson spoke in support of the amenities being offered by Mr. Edwards with the RI-PD zoning as opposed to the existing R-2 zoning. Councilwoman Compton commented on the impact to the tax base the City would receive from the valuation of the development proposed by Mr. Edwards. Councilwoman Compton felt that the proposal brought forth by Mr. Edwards would be a big enhancement to the City.
