City Council Minutes March 28, 2011 Page 2 A.2 Update on Retaining Wall and Water Level at the Lake Adjoining the #2 Tee Box at Iron Horse Golf Course Mr. Jared Miller, Assistant City Manger, updated the City Council on the retaining wall and water level at the lake adjoining the #2 tee box at Iron Horse Golf Course. A citizen at the March 7 council meeting expressed concerns during Citizen Presentation with the structural integrity of the retaining wall and fluctuating water level in the lake. Mr. Miller advised that the retaining wall at #2 tee box was evaluated by an engineer in 2007 and 2010. The wall is not a load- bearing wall and the engineer found that the retaining wall did not appear to have any structural damage, and is only aesthetically impacted by the deteriorated or missing railroad ties. The wall has been identified as a future capital project but based on severity of need is prioritized lower than several other scheduled future improvements with higher needs. Council was advised the two lakes at Meadowlakes were designed to irrigate Iron Horse. Water from the lower lake is used to irrigate a portion of the course. The lower lake is replenished from two wells that pump into the upper lake that then flows over the upper spillway into the lower lake. The lower lake is constructed with an 18 inch high wall at the spillway. The lake is designed so that the water levels will fluctuate within the 18 inches. Actual levels rarely vary more than 6 to 8 inches. Mr. Miller advised that Staff has explained to the citizen the irrigation procedures and fluctuation of lake levels. The citizen was also informed of the integrity of #2 tee box and future improvement plans.

PUBLIC HEARINGS C.1 ZC 2010 -05 PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM THE CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS FOR CHANGES TO THE TOWN CENTER REGULATING PLAN AND ZONING ORDINANCE AND REZONING OF THE City Council Minutes March 28, 2011 Page 6 EASTERN PORTION OF HOME TOWN GENERALLY LOCATED IN BETWEEN BOULEVARD 26 AND MID CITIES BOULEVARD - ORDINANCE NO. 3133 APPROVED Mayor Trevino announced that items C.1 Public Hearing ZC 2010 -05 Changes to the Town Center Regulating Plan and Zoning - Ordinance No. 3133, C.2 Public Hearing ZC 2010 -05 amending the Thoroughfare Plan within the Home Town - Ordinance No. 3134 and Executive Session Item 13.1 Consultation with Attorney regarding Pending Litigation including Possible Settlement were related and Council would be discussing all three items together. Mayor Trevino opened the public hearing on ZC 2010 -05 Ordinance No. 3133 and ZC 2010 -05 Ordinance No. 3134 and called on John Pitstick to come forward. Mr. Pitstick, Director of Planning and Development summarized the item. The City Council voted unanimously at the May 24, 2010 City Council meeting to direct staff to draft updated regulations and set public hearings before the Planning & Zoning Commission on amendments to the Town Center zoning district. The Council requested that all areas of the ordinance be reviewed and for the Planning & Zoning Commission to recommend changes to the TC District. Recommended changes could include but not be limited to the creation of density caps, clarifying mixed use building types, defining minimum building standards, clarifying architectural elements and removing requirements for Special Use Permits for multifamily development. The Council also stressed that the public was to be fully involved with Town Center zoning changes. The Planning & Zoning Commission has conducted eight work sessions, seven formal public hearings and four citizen stakeholder meetings over the past ten months. Mr. Pitstick presented the comparison of density requests including the original special use permit request in 2008 by the developer that was denied and the recent developer compromise with the latest City compromise regarding total remaining allowed residential units for the east side of Home Town. 2008 2010 2011 Developer Request Developer Compromise City Compromise Apartments 1,610 1,023 950(-660) 820 -130 P &Z Townhomes - 370 293(-77 Single Family - 94 144 +50 Total Units 1,610+ 1,487 1,387 -223 Commercial 25,000 82,000 70,000 - 12,000 Mr. Pitstick presented a PowerPoint presentation showing highlights of the current Regulating Plan and proposed Regulating & Thoroughfare Plan: City Council Minutes March 28, 2011 Page 7 Town Center zoning revisions Staff Recommendation Planning & Zoning Commission Tract 1 * 600 apartments 530 apartments 30 flex units 30 flex units Tract 4 260 apartments 200 apartments Tract 7 60 apartments 60 apartments Totals 950 apartments 820 apartments * Tract 1 — (30.6 acres) Maximum of 600 apartment units allowed and up to 60 flexible units with no more than a maximum of 630 total multi - family apartment residential units (apartments plus flex units) Home Town Zoning Controls Comparison 2004 Regulations 2011 Regulations Density Caps - Apartments allowed in - Caps on apartments restricted Center and Core without to specific tracts caps Building Heights - 6 stories in Core - 4 stories in Core - 4 stories in Center - 3 stories in Center & General Open Space - No minimum requirements - 5% gross area for public open space Building Standards - Minimum city controls with - Enclosed stairways & corridors private deed restrictions - Required Elevators - Fire alarm and sprinkler systems - Root top HVAC - Latest Energy Code Street Widths - Minimum 24 foot streets - Minimum 27 foot streets with wider pa rkin Architectural Controls - Private architectural Public architectural standards standards - Commercial and mixed use - Multifamily and townhomes Building Materials Hardiboard allowed for all - Enhanced building materials residential buildings for apartments and townhomes (50% of 1 st floor block face in brick stone or stucco Private Architectural No City participation - City is part of private Committee architectural committee Direct Changes as a Result of Citizen Input • Single Family along the lakes • No apartments in tracts 2, 3a, 3b & 5 • No commercial along Parker Blvd. and Bridge St. across from Walker Creek Elementary School City Council Minutes March 28, 2011 Page 8 • Cottages only allowed under a Special Use Permit • Community impact studies Public input and concerns also prompted staff to search for consultants in the areas of traffic congestion, school impacts and impacts of the proposed development on existing single family home values. The following consultants performed the community impact studies: • GideonToal - property values • Kimley Horn study — traffic study • BISD and National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) analysis - school Mr. Pitstick introduced Craig Hulse, Economic Development Director. Mr. Hulse advised that during the public hearings concerns were raised regarding impacts on property values. After a careful search, GideonToal was selected to perform the economic impact study. Mr. Hulse introduced Mr. David Pettit and Mr. Steven Pepper from GideonToal who gave a brief PowerPoint presentation regarding review of national studies and a multiyear Tarrant County wide analysis regarding the affects of apartments on surrounding single family neighborhoods. Summary conclusion of property value impact study: • The proposed expansion to Home Town would successfully fill gaps in the current real estate market. - With the exception of retail, which would have to be supported financially by the multifamily development. • Updates to the proposed zoning ordinance would provide the City of North Richland Hills and Home Town residents with significant protection against substandard housing development. • No evidence was found that the development of multifamily housing has a detrimental effect on adjacent property values. - In relation to Home Town, the addition of 293 townhomes priced at an estimate of $155,000 and the 950 multifamily units with an average rental rate of $1,000 per month would not meet any threshold criteria to reduce the quality of life and thereby property values in the neighborhood. Mayor Trevino called on Mike Curtis, Managing Director of Development Services to come forward. Mr. Curtis spoke on traffic impact study performed by consultant Kimley Horn & Associates. The consultant reviewed the proposed Thoroughfare Plan which includes similar street types and sections that were approved with the original Thoroughfare Plan for Home Town however; there are two (2) significant differences. The two differences are associated with the minimum "on street" parking widths and street widths. The original Thoroughfare Plan included minimum residential two -way street widths of 24 feet. The proposed plan has increased the minimum widths of residential two -way streets to 27 feet wide (3 feet wider than what was previously approved). The minimum "on street" parking width was increased from 6 feet to a City Council Minutes March 28, 2011 Page 9 minimum of 7.5 feet and as much as 8 feet wide (depending on the street section). Mr. Curtis introduced the consultant Brian Shamburger with Kimley Horn & Associates. Mr. Schamburger presented a PowerPoint presentation summarizing the traffic analysis performed. Traffic Impact: • The proposed development will generate approximately 15,200 trips per weekday • With the exception of the intersection of Hawk Ave. and Ice House Dr., the internal Home Town roadway system (per the proposed Thoroughfare Plan) will adequately serve the development at build out • Street and Intersection impacts are measured by Level of Service (LOS) • Current signalized intersections will see no significant change in LOS: — Bridge Street & Davis Blvd. — Mid Cities Blvd. & Winter Park — Blvd. 26 & Walker • The following un- signalized intersections will be affected: — Blvd. 26 & Parker Blvd. — Mid Cities Blvd & Cardinal Ln. — Ice House Drive and Hawk Ave. • Walker Creek Elementary School Traffic and Parking — Per the elementary school's current traffic plan, pick -up and drop -off for the existing elementary school should occur on the east side of the school along Hawk Ave — The existing elementary school does not have sufficient parking to accommodate special events (e.g., recent Grandparents Day before Thanksgiving) — Utilize the BISD High School parking lot or parking from adjacent future developments for overflow parking and shuttle attendees to and from the school using buses Mayor Trevino called on Mr. Pitstick to discuss the impact on the elementary school. Mr. Pitstick stated that there was no impact to the elementary school. The school had adequate space to accommodate the possible addition of students. Mr. Pitstick continued with the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission and how it varied from staff's recommendation. Both recommendations approved the Town Center zoning revisions, regulating and thoroughfare plans and density caps with the exception that P &Z is recommending a reduction of 130 apartments within Tract 1 and Tract 4. Staff Recommendation Planning & Zoning Commission Tract 1 * 600 apartments 530 apartments 30 flex units 30 flex units Tract 4 260 apartments 200 apartments City Council Minutes March 28, 2011 Page 10 Tract 7 60 apartments 60 apartments Totals 950 apartments 820 apartments It is important to note that the Planning & Zoning Commission has not been involved in any negotiations or legal settlement issues and made their recommendations solely from public hearing input. The Planning & Zoning Commission also made their decision without knowing of any potential concerns regarding development controls as a result of property owner opposition. Staff is recommending approval of the Town Center zoning revisions with the density caps as presented. Staff recommends approval of ZC 2010 -05 with the proposed text revisions and density caps as presented by City Staff which will require a simple majority approval. Any vote approving the P &Z Commission's recommendation will require a 3 /4ths vote by City Council to approve based on protest letters from the affected property owners. Mayor Trevino called on Art Anderson representing the developers to come forward. Mr. Art Anderson, 1201 Elm Street, Dallas came forward. Mr. Anderson represents the owners of the undeveloped land in Home Town. He advised that the zoning at Home Town had been under dispute for the last three years. He stated that after notifying Mr. Staples, City Attorney that pursuant to Rule 408 the corrected density rules which were transmitted to the firm on March 23, 2011 and the staff recommendation as presented by Mr. Pitstick this evening are acceptable in settling the pending lawsuits. Any changes to the recommendation are not acceptable and will not resolve the litigation between the parties. Mr. Dan Quinto, 602 Northwood Trail, Southlake came forward to speak on behalf of the developers. He thanked the Council and staff for their patience and commitment in bringing this issue to a conclusion. Mr. Quinto stated that Realty Capital called him three years ago to assist them with a project but really this began thirteen years ago when a proposal was presented and enthusiastically endorsed by the community. For several years this worked very well, but with a difference in market conditions, private perceptions and public perception created conflict. Mr. Quinto commented that good developers are not those that do what others ask them to but are those that use the market forces to squeeze out an exceptional project without going broke. Arcadia has delivered just that and the current plan before Council is a good one. The combination of current regulations, plus the past track record of these developers plus the City's commitment to quality will prove to be a winning combination making this a new and vibrant phase of Home Town. Mayor Trevino called for anyone wishing to speak on the requests to come forward. Mayor Pro Tern Sapp advised that there were requests to speak and called on each to come forward and speak. The following individuals spoke in opposition of staff recommendation but were in favor of upholding P &Z's recommendation citing the original Home Town concept did not City Council Minutes March 28, 2011 Page 11 include that many apartments, increase of traffic through the neighborhoods, increase in crime, lower property values and a waste of time attending city public hearings if the recommendation made would not be upheld. Mr. Sean McGaughey, 6229 Sherbert Drive Ms. Maureen Gayle, 6204 Lake Way Ms. Anne Swanson, 6021 Winter Park Drive Mr. John Osborne, 8528 Bridge Street Mr. Matt Shaffstall, 8524 Olmstead Terrace Mrs. Amanda Shaffstall, 8524 Olmstead Terrace The following citizens not wish to speak but wanted to go on record as being in opposition to the staff recommendation and in favor of the P &Z recommendation: Boyd Dollar, 8604 Nichols Way Jennifer Mathews, 5813 Lake Way Eldon Turner, 8609 Nichols Way Eric Tom, 6105 Lake Way Mayor Trevino again called for anyone wishing to speak for or against the requests to come forward. Max Jennings, 8632 Riverdale Drive, came forward. Mr. Jennings asked for clarification on why staff chose to make a different recommendation to Council and not uphold the P &Z recommendation. Mayor Trevino advised that at the closing of the public hearings he would have Mr. Hindman, City Manager answer the question. Kathy Jennings, 8632 Riverdale Drive, came forward. Ms. Jennings wanted Council to clarify how a developer could have so much power against the city government that has zoning regulations and still get their way. Mayor Trevino advised that once the public hearings were closed he would have Mr. Staples answer her question. Jennifer Mathews, 5813 Lake Way, came forward. Ms. Mathews stated that the difference between the two recommendations was only off by 130 apartments and would like to hear from the developer if any concessions could be made to reduce staff's recommendation by 10, 20 or 30 units. Mayor Trevino stated that after the closing of the public hearings he would have Mr. Hindman comment on the additional concessions the developer is willing to make and what it would cost the City for those concessions. Mayor Trevino closed both public hearings and called on George Staples. Mr. Staples gave a basic understanding of what is called Vested Rights law. Mr. Staples advised that municipal law is very difficult because the Legislature is constantly changing it. Texas is the most developer friendly state in the nation. The Vested Rights Statute states that if a preliminary plat is filed you cannot change the regulations City Council Minutes March 28, 2011 Page 12 that apply to that plat. The City of North Richland Hills has one of the very first of the type of ordinances that Home Town represents. It is missing many of the controls and provisions that are in ordinances drafted later. An example of this is density controls - there are no density controls in the current ordinance, which is a major problem the City has to work with. If the City approves the settlement agreements, this will provide that the developers vested rights are waived for anything that existed prior. All their vested rights will exist by virtue of the ordinances that are approved tonight. If the City does not approve the settlements that has been worked out through staffs recommendation and decides to approve P &Z's recommendation then the developers will not settle. Under the Texas Vested Rights Statute, the developers will have the opportunity to pick and choose from the existing regulations and the amended regulations basically giving them the best of both to pick from. Mr. Mark Hindman, City Manager stated that there had been a significant amount of compromise on both sides of this issue. He briefly spoke on reasons for those compromises and stated that staff liked the P &Z recommendation but if having to choose between the P &Z's recommendation and continuing on with the lawsuit the City would strongly recommend that Council consider adoption of the staff recommendation. The City did not feel like the trade of 130 units for the loss of quality controls would be a good trade for the neighborhood. The City has been discussing this for last four years and would like to see the project move forward. Mayor Trevino called on Mr. Art Anderson to answer Ms. Mathews question. Mr. Anderson came forward and stated that his clients have given significantly in order to make this compromise happen and where they are today is the best we are going to get. Councilman Whitson left the Council Meeting at 9:06 p.m. and returned to the dais at 9:09 P.M. Mayor Trevino announced that he wanted to take a few minutes to thank the residents who have participated in the process over the past ten months. The residents have spoken at public hearings, sent emails, sent letters, taken surveys, made phone calls, had small group meetings, and spoken directly to himself and other members of City Council. He acknowledged that their comments and concerns have been heard and appreciates their participation and patience. He wanted to thank the Planning and Zoning Commission and City staff for all their hard work during this process and helping bring this to a solution. Mayor Trevino advised that he also liked the P &Z recommendation but Council needed to keep in mind the lawsuit. The risk of spending more tax payer money and the possibility of the court system siding with the developer was to great of risk to gamble on. Mayor Trevino called for a motion.
