CA TR 2013-04 Public Hearing and Consideration of amendments to Section 118- 875(c) of the Code of Ordinances of the City of North Richland Hills, Texas, to limit and regulate electric fences — Ordinance No. 3274 John Pitstick came forward stating that this is a text revision brought forward for the electric fence ordinance that has been in effect since 1993. The ordinance has not allowed in any commercial areas to have electric fences and states that any electric fence that is capable of causing harm or death are prohibited in the city. Service King had an electric fence installed years ago, came to get a permit that was not allowed to be issued. Service King went to the Zoning Board of Adjustment that has brought in some clarity. Electric fences are prohibited with the exception of four strands of wires no taller than four feet to control livestock in the Agricultural and R-1-S Districts and no more than one strand to control domestic pets in the single family residential zoning districts. September 19, 2013 PU Minutes Page 4 Chairman Shiflet opened the Public Hearing on TR 2013-04 and asked if anyone wished to speak on this matter. Seeing none, he entertained a motion. APPROVED Steven Cooper motioned to approve TR 2013-04. The motion was seconded by Bill Schopper. The motion passed (7-0). C.2 TR 2013-05 Public Hearing and Consideration of amendments to Section 118-493 of the North Richland Hills Code of Ordinances and amending the Planned Development regulations — Ordinance No. 3276 John Pistick came forward stating this was a text revision to our Planned Development regulations. Developments that were created: Redevelopment PD, Residential PD, Non- residential PD and Residential Infill PD. There are distinctions between each planned development. The City Attorneys have created a clarification that requires a base district, this removes language limiting deviations to development standards in NR-PD. Prior to this revision it did not allow variances to signs/masonry. Staff is concerned, based on agenda items, that some may need variances to signs or masonry in large PD districts if offsetting amenities are offered. Residential uses are allowed but do not have mixed -use. Will allow up to 40% of PD land area could be residential area of larger PD district boundaries. Text revision would go forward to City Council. Chairman Shiflet opened the public hearing for TR 2013-05 and asked if anyone wished to speak on this matter. Seeing none, he entertained a motion. APPROVED Mike Benton motioned to approve TR 2013-05. The motion was seconded by Kathy Luppy. The motion passed (7-0).

September 19, 2013 PU Minutes Page 5 Chairman Shiflet asked about the metro area south towards Glenview, could it be feasible to be additional medical. Ms. Gagliardi said yes, it is proposed that way. Don Bowen asked what the projected density of multi -family is per acre. Ms. Gagliardi said the agreement with the city is at least 30 per acre. Clayton Comstock came forward stating this a request from Gagliardi Group for a zoning change from "C-1" Commercial to "NR-RD" Non -Residential Planned Development at the former North Hills Mall site located on Boulevard 26 just south of NE Loop 820. The proposed Planned Development zoning would allow for a mix of uses, including 300 multi -family residential units, the new 180,000 square foot City Hall facility, retail, restaurant, office, hospitality, entertainment, and a 1-acre public plaza open space. This NR-PD is set up very similar to the Town Center and TOD Codes with initial approval by the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council of the PD through a zoning map with sub -districts including detailed regulations. The Development Review Committee will be responsible for approving final site plans based on these regulations with the exception of the following which will require P&Z review and City Council approval. These include site plans of all building facing City Point Drive in the Market District, final approval of the master pylon sign, and site plans for townhomes in the Metro district only after the rest of the PD is fully developed. Chief Jimmy Perdue came forward with an informative presentation of the status of the new City Hall including the surrounding development. The construction contract to move forward will be presented at the October 14, 2013 City Council meeting, assuming approval construction will begin within one week, followed by construction of the new City Point facility in January 2014, with scheduled completion in October 2015, and occupancy in January 2016. Chairman Shiflet inquired if there would be a secured access for employees off of Frawley Drive. Chief Perdue answered yes, it would be a secured and gated entrance for the employees with adequate parking for the public on the front side. Chairman Shiflet asked when this presentation would be available to the residents. Chief Perdue said this information has already been presented to the community in some form, with most of these images available in the City Hall lobby. Don Bowen said he wanted to clarify his earlier statement about multi -family in the Manor district. He said in this whole concept of work, the multi -family has to be there for the revitalization of this area. September 19, 2013 P&Z Minutes Page 6 Chairman Shiflet opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak for or against. Danny Tinney, 7301 Glenview Drive, came forward stating he is the Pastor at Richland Hills United Methodist Church. He said their property backs up to the "Manor District" and asked if there would be any restrictions to their property in the event of future growth for their church. Clayton Comstock said no, the church property could still build within 35 feet of the current property line. It would be considered a residential use within the PD, there would be a 15 foot landscape buffer and a 35 foot set back from the residential on any new development moving forward. In the design of the multi -family there should be some sort of fire lane on the far south side that would give some distance. There will be more discussion internally and Staff will get with the church about this matter. The Public Hearing was closed and motion was entertained. APPROVED Mike Benton motioned to approve ZC 2013-14. The motion was seconded by Mark Haynes. The motion passed (7-0).
