PUBLIC HEARINGS
C.1
SUP 2013-09 PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM
RSMC PROPERTIES, LLC FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A BAR/TAVERN
LOCATED AT 5209 RUFE SNOW DRIVE - ORDINANCE NO. 3285
Mayor Trevino opened the public hearing.
Mr. Ron McFarland, applicant and owner of the property at 5209 Rufe Snow, appeared
before the Council. Mr. McFarland requested a special use permit for a bar/tavern
which will allow him to continue to operate Sparks Sports Bar as a smoking
establishment after January 1 when the new smoking ordinance goes into effect. Mr.
McFarland advised that Sparks Sports Bar has been operating for eight years as an
over 21 smoking sports bar and restaurant. Because of alcohol regulations requiring
restaurants/bars deriving 75 percent or more of total revenue from the sale of alcoholic
beverages for on-premise consumption to obtain a special use permit, Mr. McFarland
has been operating the sports bar in conjunction with shared revenues with Dickey's
Barbeque. Under the new smoking regulations, SUP-approved bars/taverns are
exempted from the "no smoking" regulations. Mr. McFarland is requesting to separate
the restaurant from the sports bar and the SUP permit will allow him to operate as a

bar/tavern as a smoking establishment and exceed the 75% percent threshold for
alcohol sales. Sparks will be separated from the restaurant with separate entrances
and restrooms.
Mr. John Pitstick, Director of Planning, presented Staff's report and evaluation of the
request and the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation for approval.
Council was advised the applicant had agreed to add landscaping in the front as part of
the special use permit to conform to the recently approved Grandy's improvements.
The Planning and Zoning Commission's general discussion regarding their
recommendation of approval included:
1) Sparks Sports Bar has existed as an ongoing neighborhood bar separate from a
restaurant for several years without any concerns or enforcement issues.
2) The Commission saw a need within the community for allowing separate
smoking establishments for local adult residents who are now not able to smoke
in public buildings or restaurants.
3) Their recommendation was also based on the large size of the existing building
and the ability to fully occupy the building with two land uses. Full separation
between a restaurant and a bar allows for occupancy of the entire building and
allows adult smokers to smoke in the bar and protection of individuals and
families who do not smoke in a "smoke free" restaurant environment.
Staff does not have a recommendation primarily because this is the first request in the
city for a bar/tavern. However, if Council is supportive of the bar/tavern designation, the
Planning & Zoning Commission recommended that the bar/tavern be limited to the
current 4600 square footage of Sparks Sports Bar.
Mayor Trevino called for public comments in favor or opposition to the request. There
being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing.
COUNCILMAN WELCH MOVED TO APPROVE SUP 2013-09, ORDINANCE No. 3285, WITH THE
REQUIREMENT OF LIMITING SPARKS TO THEIR CURRENT 4,600 SQUARE FOOTAGE, WITH THE
LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS AND ADDITIONAL RESTROOMS. COUNCILMAN TURNAGE
SECONDED THE MOTION.
MOTION TO APPROVE CARRIED 6-0.

SDP 2013-01 PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM
HAMILTON CONSULTING, LLC FOR A SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
CONTAINING SOME FRONT-ENTRY GARAGE UNITS AT THE BRIAR POINTE
TOWNHOMES LOCATED ON 1.998 ACRES AT 8328 AMUNDSON DRIVE -
ORDINANCE NO. 3286
APPROVED
City Council Minutes
December 9, 2013
Page 7
Mayor Trevino opened the public hearing.
The applicant, Mr. Keith Hamilton, Hamilton Consulting, came forward to present the
request. Mr. Hamilton reviewed the history of the 1.66-acre development and its
inactivity since the housing market decline. The developer has since acquired an
additional .44 acre that was not part of the original RI-PD and the City has rezoned the
property to be within the General Mixed Use Character Zone of the Smithfield Transit
Oriented Development District. Mr. Hamilton has been approached by Innovation
Builders to develop the 1.998 acres with a townhome/duplex product. The purpose of
the Special Development Plan request is to allow front-entry garages on 6 of the 17
planned lots. The six lots back up to Dick Faram Park and will be considered premium
lots by the builder. The development will consist of 17 townhomes with a minimum
square footage of 1,600 square feet and 85 percent masonry. The front entry garages
on lots 11, 13 and 14 are to have separated-single doors with masonry column divide,
all front-entry garage doors are to be decorative wood and driveways are to be
decorative concrete. The front entry garages will be setback no more than 14.5 feet
from street curb to deter residents from parking in driveways.
Mr. Clayton Comstock, Senior Planner, presented Staff's report and the Planning and
Zoning Commission's recommendation for approval.
Mayor Trevino called for public comments in favor or opposition to the request. There
being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing.
COUNCILMAN LOMBARD MOVED TO APPROVE SDP 2013-01, ORDINANCE No. 3286 WITH THE
STIPULATION THAT A RIBBON OF LANDSCAPE BE PLACED AT THE FRONT ENTRANCE OF THE
FRONT ENTRY GARAGE UNITS. COUNCILWOMAN WRIGHT OUJESKY SECONDED THE MOTION.
The City Attorney requested clarification on the ribbon of landscape.
THE MOTION WAS MODIFIED TO REQUIRE THE LANDSCAPE STRIP TO BE A MINIMUM WIDTH OF 4
FEET WIDE WITH A DEPTH TO THE FRONT PROPERTY LINE.
MOTION TO APPROVE AS MODIFIED CARRIED 6-0.

ZC 2013-16 PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM J &
J NRH 100, FLP FOR A ZONING CHANGE FROM AG AGRICULTURAL TO R-2
SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL FOR 13.026 ACRES LOCATED NEAR THE
SOUTHWEST CORNER OF BELSHIRE DRIVE AND PRECINCT LINE ROAD -
ORDINANCE NO. 3287
APPROVED
City Council Minutes

Mayor Trevino opened the public hearing.
Dustin Austin, 700 W. Harwood, Hurst, representing the applicant presented the item.
The applicant is requesting a zoning change to R-2 Single Family Residential for a
13.026-acre parcel. The parcel will be the final tract of Thornbridge East Phase 5 and 6
located south of Precinct Line and Be!shire Drive and will consist of 43 residential lots
with a detention pond at the southwest corner.
Mr. John Pitstick, Director of Planning, presented staff's report and the Planning &
Zoning Commission's recommendation for approval. The proposed R-2 zoning is not
consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan but the existing Thornbridge
residential development has two street stubs into the area that suits the continued
development of the Thornbridge subdivision. The site is also mid-block between
intersections better suited for commercial development. It is the opinion of the Staff
that a change of land use from "Neighborhood Service" and "Parks/Open Space" to
"Low Density Residential" is appropriate as part of the zoning change request. Staff is
therefore recommending approval of the ordinance with the change of the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
Mayor Trevino called for public comments in favor or opposition to the request. There
being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing.

item. The applicant is requesting to change the zoning from C-1 Commercial to RD-PD
Redevelopment Planned Development for a Chipotle Mexican Grill. The site cannot
accommodate the required landscape setbacks and parking spaces and the RD-PD will
allow for landscape and parking variances. The applicant has only been able to get 19

TO R-2 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL FOR A PORTION OF LOT 1, BLOCK 1,
BANNISTER ESTATES LOCATED AT 7223 EDEN ROAD - ORDINANCE NO. 3289
APPROVED
Mayor Trevino opened the public hearing.
Mr. Keith Hamilton, representing Howe Investment Company, presented the request.
The zoning change request is the result of the adjacent "Harmon Farms" development.
The property is being subdivided and the back portion of the property is being
contributed to Harmon Farms. The remaining lot will continue to serve as the
Bannister's residence and will fall below the R-1-S zoning required minimum lot area of
1 acre. The proposed R-2 zoning will make it consistent with the remainder of the
development and the lot will conform to current lot area requirements.
Clayton Comstock, Senior Planner, presented Staff's report and the Planning and
Zoning Commission's recommendation for approval.
Mayor Trevino called for public comments in favor or opposition to the request. There
being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing.
