Purpose send Intent: The purpose of the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Code is to support the development of the community's Station Areas into pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use urban development environments, with convenient access to rail transit, shopping, employment, housing, and neighborhood retail services. The goal of each Station Area is to encourage an efficient, compact land use pattern; encouraging pedestrian activity; reducing the reliance an private automobiles; promoting a more functional and attractive community through the use of recognized principles of urban design; and allowing property owners flexibility in land use, while prescribing a high level of detail in building design and form. The TOD Code implements the vision for each Station Area as established in the city's Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the Illustrative Master Plans (Appendix D and E). Each Station Area is envisioned as a distinct neighborhood with unique development and redevelopment opportunities. Specifically, the zoning district will guide the private development decisions on a market based approach with flexibility in use and density for both Station Areas. a. Smithfield Station Area: The goals for the Smithfield Station Area arc to foster a vibrant, mixed use urban neighborhood within a'/.mile walking distance from the future commuter rail stop. This code is intended to allow existing buildings and uses to transition to a higher intensity, walkable areas with shops, cafes, employment, residences, and civic uses. In addition, development within the Smithfield Station area would be sensitive to the existing historic resources and adjacent stable residential neighborhoods while providing opportunities for future redevelopment and new development. b. Ir~rr Horse Stativn Area: The goals for the Iron Horse Station area are to faster a major regional employment center with significant regional retail and residential uses within convenient walking distance from the future transit station. Development and redevelopment within this station area would be higher intensity accommodating large scale office and retail users while providing for moderate scale mixed use in the immediate vicinity of the station. The Transit Oriented Development Code provides clear graphic standards for the location, height, and building elements to achieve good urban design. The Smithfield and Iron Horse Illustrative Master Plans (Appendix D and E respectively) shall provide general guidance to property owners, developers, and the City on the form, character, and intensity of future development in these station areas. Section 118-562. Components of the Code: a. The TOD Code shall apply to both Station Areas unless otherwise specified in the Code. b. The Regulating Plan for each Station Area shall be the official zoning map far that Station Area. It shall establish the development standards for all lots within the two Station Areas including: i. Character Zones -Each Station Area is further distinguished into "Character Zones". A Character Zone within each Station Area is intended to create a distinct urban form different from other Character Zones. Each Character Zone shall establish use and ~ateway 1'Iann~nv, (~rcw~ ~nc. ~ ~ ~ i Ordinance No. 3061 Page 3 of 56 Cftyy oef North Rlchela»d H,rrls TOD Code August 24, 20dg building standards including height, bulk, building and parking location, and functional design for all lots within that Character Zone. The Regulating Plan classifies all lots within both Station Areas into one of seven Character Zones. Some Character Zones are Station Area specific. The different Character Zones arc based on historic and regional architectural traditions and development intent to create a built environment that is consistent with the vision for the two Station Areas. ii. Special Frontage Standards -The Special Frontage standards in each Station Area establishes exceptions and special conditions for new and redeveloped buildings along that designated frontage. These Special Frontage standards shall apply in lieu of or in addition to the underlying Character Zone standards. iii. Street Type Specifications -The Street Type Specifications illustrate configurations for significant existing and new streets within each station area The Specifications address vehicular lane widths, number of lanes, pedestrian accommodation, street tree requirements, on-street parking, and parkway and median standards (streetscape standards). iv. Required Street Network -The Required Street Network are the future streets needed to implement the Station Area Illustrative Master Plan. The Required Streets shall be mandatory and shall generally meet the locational and connectivity goals of the Regulating Plan and the associated Illustrative Master Plan. Their design shall be guided by the Street-Type Specifications. v. Recommended Street Network -The Recommended Street Network indicates the future desired streets to implement the Station Area Illustrative Master Plan. Their location is not mandatory and their design shall be guided by the Street Type Specifications. vi. Required Civic/Open Space -The Required Civic/Open Space shall be the location of existing and proposed civic buildings (public buildings and religious buildings) and civic/open spaces (including parks, plazas, and squares). vii. Recommended Civic/Open Space -The Recommended Civic/Open Space designation shall indicate the locations of desired civic buildings (public buildings and religious buildings) and open spaces (including parks, plazas, and squares) to implement the Illustrative Master Plan. c. Transit Oriented Development Code Text: The Transit oriented Development Code text (the text portion of this Ordinance) shall enumerate the use and development standards with text and graphics including Character Zones, Special Frontage, street type, civic space, landscape, architectural, signage, lighting, and all related standards for all streets, and public and private development. d. The development standards under Chapter 118 of the City of North Richland Hills, as amended, shall not apply to the Station Areas except as specifically referenced herein. Development standards not addressed in this ordinance shall be governed by the City of North Richland Hills Zoning Ordinance to the extent they are not in conflict with the intent of the Transit Oriented Development Code. e. Using this Code: Wherever a word begins with a capital letter, consult the definitions for the specific meaning. In order to understand what the Ordinance allows on property within each Station Area there are three basic steps: 1. Look at the Regulating Plan for the corresponding station area. Find the subject property on the Regulating Plan. Identify the Character Zone the property is located in and the ~aateway ~~a~nm~ ~~rcw~+ Inc. 2 I Ordinance No. 3061 Page 4 of 56 City o(Narth RichlArtd Hips TOD Cade August 24, 2009 Street Type designation along all its street frontages. In addition identify any Special Frontage Requirements applicable to the subject property. 2. The Schedule of Uses by Character Zone is listed in Table S.l and for Building Form and Development Standards refer to the corresponding zone standards in Section 1 l 8.566 of this ordinance. 3. Refer to Section 1 l 8-Sb4(c) for Special Frontage Standards, Section 1 i 8-567 for Street Type and Streetscape Standards, and Section 118-568 for Architectural and Urban Design Standazds.

Street ~ Streetxcape Design Standards August 24, 2~9 a. Generally: Streets in the Station Areas need to support the overall goal of a mixed use, compact, pedestrian oriented district. They should balance all forms of mobility while maximizing convenience for residents and visitors. The Regulating Plan designates the required and recommended street network within each Station Area. This section specifies the typical configuration of streets within both the Station Areas. The specifications address vehicular lane width, parkway widths, R-O-W widths, number of travel lanes, on-street parking, and pedestrian accommodation. The character of streets in the Station Area will vary based on the location. Some streets, such as Davis Blvd., Mid-Cities Blvd., and Loop 820, are under the purview of TxDOT while the remaining streets are city streets. b. New Streets: In addition to standards for existing streets, this section specifies standards for new streets in both station areas. New streets in both station areas shall be based on the required or recommended designation on the corresponding Regulating Plan. New streets that are designated as "TOD Street" may use any of the available street types established for the Station Areas. c. Street Types Established. Table 7.1 and associated cross sections shall establish the cross sections for each street type. The cross sections may be adjusted to fit existing contexts with the approval of the Director of Public Works. In addition, the proposed cross sections may be adjusted to meet the needs of the Uniform Fire Code as adopted by the City.

Architectural Standards and Guidelines The Architectural Standards and Guidelines for the TOD Station Areas shat! establish a coherent urban character and encourage enduring and attractive development. Building plans shall be reviewed by the DRC for compliance with the standards below. T'he key design principles establish essential gc-als for development in Iwth the Station Areas to ensure the preservation, sustainability. and visual quality of this unique environment. Buildings shall he located and designed so that they provide. visual interest and create enjoyable. human- scaled spaces. "The key design principles are: • New buildings/building facades shall utilize building elements and details to achieve a pedestrian-oriented public realm. • Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant historical, architectural or cultural material, and such design is compatible with the size, scale, color, material, and character of the property, neighborhood or environment. • Infill design can be approached with non-historic designs using simple and neutral elements which will fit better with the character of the neighborhood. New designs generally should not copy existing structures, but must be consistent with the character, style and scale of those structures. • Compatibility is not meant to be achieved through uniformity, but through the use of variations in building elements to achieve individual building identity. • Building facades must include appropriate architectural details and ornament to create variety and interest. • Open space(s) shall be incorporated to provide usable public areas integral to the downtown environment. C,atow~ai PI~~n;ng Grcw~+ ~~~. 30 Ordinance No. 3061 Page 32 of 56 cry aaorn- ~ His rofl code August 24, 2009 The Smithfield area has an historic existing character that shall be preserved by rehabilitation of existing significant buildings. In addition, new and infill construction in the district shall reflect the character of the district during its historic period of significance. a. Standards Specific to Historic TOD Zone: In addition to Standards in Subsection B, the following Guidelines shall apply for all development within the Historic TOD Zone. All changes to existing facades or new buildings within this zone shall receive a "compliance" permit from the Planning and Zoning Commission after DRC review and recommendations on the extent to which the proposed changes or new construction meets the following guidelines. Building Form & Massing. • Buildings shall consist of rectangular building forms limited to one- or two-stories in height. • Simple architectural ornamentation at the street level of buildings such as wood cornices or cast iron columns can both accent buildings, and provide visual interest for pedestrians and motorists. Do not incorporate high style architectural ornamentation that does not reflect the vernacular early 20"' century design context of Smithfield. • Recessed entries provide weather protection, protect passing pedestrians from opening doors, and add attractive detail to the storefront. Do not recess the entire storefront. ~ -, t~ ,~ ~ ~.~~,,.. Horizontal Rhythm: • A building larger than the width seen traditionally in the district (greater than 40 ft.) should be divided into modules (20 ft. - 25 ft.) that are similar in scale to typical buildings. • Large project sites should be developed with several buildings, rather than a single structure. • The horizontal rhythm of the street wall shall be reinforced in new buildings by using a similar alignment of windowsills, building lines, floor lines, cornices, raoflines, and floor-to-floor spacing along a bloc;kface. • Using building design elements such as cornice lines, ground floor canopies and awnings, overhangs and windowsills helps to maintain a clear visual division in building design between the street level (ground floor retail uses) and upper floors. Gac~way Plann~g Grc~uF+ ~nt. 31~ Ordinance No. 3061 Page 33 of 56 City o/North RKh~land HiNs TOD Cade August 24, 2009 ~ hor Doors and Windows: • Windows and doors shall be vertically oriented. • The primary entrance to buildings shall be clearly defined and oriented to the street, and not to parking areas or side or rear elevations. • Clear glass should be used in upper story and storefront windows. No reflective, heavily tinted, patterned or sandblasted glass should be used in storefront or upper story windows. Patterned, colored or sarxiblasted glass can be appropriately used in transoms above storefront windows, however. Buildings wf~h appropriate door and window openings Roof Farm: • Flat roof forms with parapets, or gable roofs either facing or perpendicular to the street with a 5/12 or similar pitch are appropriate to the character and image of historic Smithfield. • Roof forms consistent with the character of Smithfield are recommended. Sloped roof shapes on one-story commercial buildings are not recommended unless they are hidden along all visible sides with a false parapet. • A visual terminus, such as a simple cornice, at the tops of two-story buildings helps reinforce the character of Smithfield architecture. Building Materials: • At least 75 % of each facade visible from any public right-of--way or adjoining properties (except alleys) of new buildings shall use materials typical of common building materials of the historic period and location, including brick and stone indigenous to North Texas such as dark fieldstone. Masonry materials shall be installed in a craftsman like manner that are a minimum of one inch thick and imbedded in a cementitious reinforced substrate.

Masonry bonding patterns, sizes and color should be similar to those found in the historic commercial and institutional buildings nearby, or typical of structures of the type, age and vicinity. Traditional materials such as horizontal wood siding of dimensions similar to novelty, shiplap or tongue-and-groove, or Cementitious horizontal siding, in a smooth, paintable finish and of traditional dimensions may be used as accent materials not to exceed 25% of each facade. Other non-traditional building materials shall only be permitted as accent materials (no more than 25% of each facade visible from any public right-of--way or adjoining properties). Awnings and Canopies: • Canopies of wood or metal and awnings of wood, metal, or canvas may be used to protect pedestrians and create interest along the street. • Fixed, rolled front awnings of corrugated metal, as found in many early 20~' century North Texas commercial districts, are appropriate for the Smithfield district. • Fixed canopies may extend the width of a commercial building, and may be supported at the outer edge by simple wood or metal posts, as long as the supports are non-structural and do not interfere with pedestrian passage along the front sidewalk. Buildings with canapies and awnings providing interest along tl~e street and shade to pedestrians b. Standards Specific to TOD Core, General Mixed Use, Arterial Mixed Use, and High Intensity Mixed Use Zones: The following design standards and guidelines shall provide property owners, developers, city staff, and decision makers adequate design guidance for new and existing commercial buildings. Location on the street: (i) Buildings shall be oriented toward the major street with the primary entrance located on that street.
