Consideration of Minutes from the August 16, 2012 Planning & Zoning
Commission Meeting.
APPROVED
Kathy Luppy motioned to approve the minutes from August 16, 2012 as
proposed. The motion was seconded by Don Bowen
and passed unanimously (6 -0).
C.1
SUP 2012 -06 Public Hearing and Consideration of a Request from The Attic
Resale for a Special Use Permit to allow a Secondhand Dealer business at 7205
Boulevard 26. (Withdrawn by Applicant)
C.2.
ZC 2012 -10 Public Hearing and Consideration of a Request from Sands
Surveying Corporation for a Zoning Change from AG Agricultural to R -1 -S Special
Single Family on 1.961 acres known as Tract 2E in the J. Condra Survey at 7317
Douglas Lane.
C.3.
FP 2012 -09 Consideration of a Request from Sands Surveying for a Final Plat of
Lot 9, Block 10, Windcrest Addition located on 1.961 acres at 7317 Douglas Lane.
Jason Miller, 7317 Douglas Lane, NRH, came forward with a request to add "granny
flat ", a 650 square foot addition to the south side of the home. In addition on the south
west back corner of the property we want to build an accessory building of
approximately 30x50. We have been working with Staff to rezone the property from
Agricultural to R -1 -S.
Chad VanSteenberg came forward stating ZC 2012 -10 and FP 2012 -09 are a Zoning
Change and Final Plat requested by the property owners, Jason and Amber Miller, and
the applicant, Sands Surveying for a 1.9 acre parcel at 7317 Douglas Lane at the
southwest corner of Douglas and Starnes. The Zoning Change request would take the
property from the current Agricultural zone to the R -1 -S Special Single Family zone and
the Final Plat would create Lot 9 Block 10 of the Windcrest Addition. The purpose of
these two requests is to allow the homeowners, which are new to the property as of
August, the opportunity to receive various building permits for home additions and the
construction of new accessory buildings. Any building permit which increases the size
of the residence or adds new structures to the property requires property zoning and

platting. The R -1 -S zoning is being requested specifically because of the rights granted
in that district which respect to accessory buildings and livestock. They do not have any
livestock presently but would like the option in the future to have horses on the property.
The Final Plat in the packets did have an error in the legal description that prevented
the plat from closing properly, but the surveyor has now corrected that.
All public improvements necessary to support the proposed Final Plat already exist and
both and zoning and plat requests are consistent with the Comprehensive and
Thoroughfare plans and Staff does recommend approval.
Chairman Shiflet opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak.
Seeing none he closed the Public Hearing and entertained a motion.
APPROVED
Don Bowen motioned to approve ZC 2012 -10 as proposed. The motion was
seconded by Steven Cooper and passed unanimously (6 -0).
APPROVED
Mike Benton motioned to approve FP 2012 -09 as proposed. The motion was
seconded by Don Bowen and passed unanimously (6 -0).
C.4.
TR 2012 -03 Public Hearing and Consideration of an amendment to the North
Richland Hills Zoning Ordinance Section 118 -97 "Appeal of Board Action"
concerning the Zoning Board of Adjustment
Chad VanSteenberg said Staff and the City Attorney have discovered an inconsistency
between the City's Zoning Code and The Texas Local Government Code regarding the
appeal process of an action by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Ordinance 3216 simply
amends this section of the zoning ordinance to conform to state law. The main
inconsistency is the 10 day period to appeal rather than the 30 day period which the
City currently has codified. The proposed Ordinance 3216 would correct that
discrepancy.
Chairman Shiflet opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak for or
against, seeing none he closed the Public Hearing and entertained a motion.
APPROVED
Kathy Luppy motioned to approve TR 2013 -03 as proposed. The motion was
seconded by Steven Cooper and passed unanimously (6 -0).
