COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
From: The Office of the City Manager Date: September 8, 2014
Subject: Consider Resolution No. 2014-024, Approving 2014 Bureau of Justice
Assistance Grant Program Local Award.
Presenter: Mike Hamlin, Assistant Police Chief
Summary:
Being the victim of a crime can be a very traumatic experience. This is particularly true
for victims of violent crimes. Victims are faced with financial difficulties, a confusing
court system, and possible emotional struggles. The Joint Crime Victim's Liaison
program assists crime victims by alleviating the psychological and emotional trauma
incurred as a result of a crime and provides crime victims with a wide array of
restorative assistance. The Police Department is seeking authorization to apply for
additional grant funding to offset the City's annual obligation for the Crime Victim's
Liaison program.
General Description:
The Joint Crime Victim's Liaison program is currently being utilized by four partner
cities: Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Richland Hills, and Watauga, enabling each
city to exceed the minimum state mandate for providing victim services. Since
commencement in 2009, the program has served over one thousand four hundred
victims seeking basic victim services. This program is intended to be funded by the
Office of the Governor (CJD) General Victim Grant, providing up to $80,000 annually.
The remaining programmatic costs are deferred to the four partner cities.
The police department is seeking authorization to apply for and utilize available grant
funds offered through the U.S. Department of Justice - Justice Assistance Grant
program to aid North Richland Hills in meeting our financial obligation to the Joint Crime
Victim's Liaison program. It is anticipated that approximately 49% of the total program
costs will be covered by the aforementioned Office of the Governor (CJD) General
Victim Grant, leaving the remaining portion to the partner cities. The police
department's projected cost is $44,114, of which this Justice Assistance Grant will fund

Subject: Ordinance No. 3328, ZC 2014-13 Public Hearing and Consideration of
a Request from Graham Partners, Ltd for a Zoning Change from "AG"
Agricultural to "R-2" Single-Family Residential on 0.1499 Acres Located
Along the Southern Portion of 7000 Hightower Dr.
Presenter: Clayton Comstock, Senior Planner
Summary:
Graham Partners, Ltd is requesting approval of a zoning change from "AG" Agricultural
to "R-2" Single-Family Residential on 0.1499 acres located along the southern portion of
7000 Hightower Dr. and has indicated intent to develop a single-family residential
subdivision surrounding the property in question following the "R-2" development
standards.
General Description:
Case Description: Graham Partners, Ltd is requesting approval of a zoning change
from "AG" Agricultural to "R-2" Single-Family Residential on 0.1499 acres located along
the southern portion of 7000 Hightower Dr. The applicant has indicated intent to develop
a single-family residential subdivision surrounding the property in question following the
"R-2" development standards. In order to achieve the depth the applicant requires for
some of these lots it will be necessary to rezone a portion of an abutting parcel from
"AG" to "R-2". A preliminary plat was approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission
and is attached below to give perspective on how 32 lots may fit on the surrounding
property if this abutting portion is rezoned to "R-2".
EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS: The 0.1499-acre property located along the southern
portion of 7000 Hightower Dr currently contains a shed belonging to the property that
would be removed or relocated.
PLATTING STATUS: Unplatted and described as Tract 3A03 in the William Mann
Survey, Abstract No. 1010.
EXISTING ZONING: "AG" Agricultural
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan depicts "Low Density Residential"
for this area. The Low Density Residential Land Use provides for traditional, low-
density, single-family detached dwelling units. Staff believes this change in zoning
Packet Pg. 26
rqw
would be consistent with the "Low Density Residential" category and the surrounding
uses.
SURROUNDING ZONING 1 LAND USE:
North: AG Agricultural 1 Residential Homestead
South: R-2 Residential 1 vacant
East: R-2 Residential 1 vacant
West: R-2 Residential 1 vacant and Graham Gas Well Site

Ranch site west of Chisholm Trail. Eight (8) of these lots have already been set up as r
"pad ready." The owner plans to connect the existing walk trail along the south and =
west side of the property. There is a gas pipeline and existing fifty (50) foot easement

Graham Partners, Ltd. This is Graham Ranch Phase IIIA and Phase IIIg. C.2 is a NE
portion of property to be sold to expand Phase III lots. As part of the sale of this o

cattle. With elimination of the shed, the cattle would go away. Lots would remain 10 c
feet away from the remaining barn. Eight (8) lots have been developed in Phase I. The
remaining twenty four (24) Tots are starting from scratch. The plan crosses the fifty (50)
foot gas easement two (2) times. The former stock pond has been filled in and properly E
compacted, filled and tested. Existing channel is separately platted land. The existing 4=
sidewalk will become a loop into the north end of the neighborhood. Phase IIIA is for a
eight (8) lots. Phase IIIg is for twenty four (24) lots. Our Country Homes will build a

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
From: The Office of the City Manager Date: September 8, 2014
Subject: RP 2014-04 Public Hearing and Consideration of a Request from
Metropolitan Infrastructure for a Replat of Lots 1R and 2R, Block 17,
Snow Heights North; Being Two Commercial Lots on 4.886 Acres
Located at 6851 NE Loop 820.
Presenter: Clayton Comstock, Senior Planner
Summary:
On behalf of Cocanougher Asset #1, Ltd. and Cocanougher Feed Company, Ltd.,
Metropolitan Infrastructure is requesting approval of a replat for two nonresidential lots
on 4.886 acres for the purpose of constructing a parking lot expansion for the existing
office building at 6851 NE Loop 820.
General Description:
CASE DESCRIPTION: The Northeast Tarrant Express (NTE) project required right-of-
way from the property at 6851 NE Loop 820 that effectively eliminated the entire front
row of parking (about 18 spaces). Building occupancy and existing parking demand is
driving the need for a parking lot addition; but the existing northern limit of Lot 1 must be
moved further north to accommodate the parking lot addition. The Development
Review Committee is currently reviewing the Site Plan for the parking lot addition to the
north of the existing parking lot.
V �u�l iii
Aerial photographs from 2011 (left) and 2013 (right) showing how the NTE project's
right-of-way effectively eliminated the front row of parking spaces.
CURRENT PLATTING: The properties are currently described as Lots 1, 2 and 3,
Block 17 of Snow Heights North.
CURRENT ZONING: "C-1" Commercial.
Packet Pg.40
rqw
THOROUGHFARE PLAN: The subject property has frontage along Northeast Loop
820 and Thaxton Parkway. Northeast Loop 820 is nearing completion of a major
reconstruction project and right-of-way has already been acquired from the property
through separate instrument that is reflected on the plat graphic. Thaxton Parkway is
classified as a local street with 60-feet of existing right-of-way. No additional right-of-
way is required by this plat.
ROUGH PROPORTIONALITY: The public improvements necessary for the subdivision
(identified as RP 2014-04) to develop in accordance with the City's minimum standards
include additional drainage facilities, relocation of water infrastructure and the
construction of concrete sidewalks along both the westbound Loop 820 Frontage Road
and Thaxton Parkway. The construction of these improvements is the responsibility of
the applicant/developer.
The above determination of proportionality is made pursuant to Section 212.904, Texas
Local Government Code by the undersigned professional engineer in the employ of the
City of North Richland Hills, licensed by the State of Texas.
PLANNING &ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning & Zoning
Commission met on August 7, 2014 and voted 6-0 to approve RP 2014-04.

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
From: The Office of the City Manager Date: September 8, 2014
Subject: Ordinance No. 3329, SUP 2014-09 Public Hearing and Consideration
of a Request from Green Ox Energy Solutions for a Special Use Permit
for a Ground-Mounted Solar Installation on 2.064 Acres Located at
7820 Douglas Ln.
Presenter: Clayton Comstock, Senior Planner
Summary:
On behalf of Julian & Patricia Sandoval, Green Ox Energy Solutions is requesting
approval of a Special Use Permit to install a 560 square foot ground-mounted solar
array at the rear of the 2-acre residential property located at 7820 Douglas Lane. The
array is planned to be an 8 kilowatt system when all panels are installed, but the owner
would only install a 2 kilowatt system initially. The mount is an aluminum metal frame
set in concrete foundation. The overall height of the system does not exceed 7 feet.
This ground-mounted system would complement another 8-kilowatt system that has
been permitted separately for the roof of the primary residence.
General Description:
CITY POLICY ON SOLAR: For years, the City has processed roof-mounted solar
panels as an electrical permit and has required the necessary certifications and
documentation to ensure safe installation. Ground-mounted systems have been treated
similarly; but staff has also classified such systems as "accessory structures" that must
meet the height, setback and size regulations under Section 118-718 of the Zoning
Ordinance. This application meets all standards for an accessory structure except for
the 560 square foot size. The maximum permitted is 500 square feet, but "AG"-zoned
properties may request a Special Use Permit for larger accessory structures.
A City policy on solar panel systems is currently being reviewed by the Planning
Department. Staff would like to use this case as an opportunity for the Planning &
Zoning Commission and City Council to ask questions of the solar panel installers and
discuss what aspects of this particular case should be used—or not used—when
crafting a city-wide policy. Following input and resolution on this case, staff will bring a
work session item to discuss the topic in more depth.

SUP 2014-09 Public Hearing and Consideration of a request for Green Ox Energy
Solutions for a Special Use Permit for a Ground-Mounted Solar Installation on
2.064 acres located at 7820 Douglas Lane. o
Clayton Comstock came forward to present the staff overview of application SUP 2014- N
09 solar panel request. At the current time, the city has no zoning ordinances regarding C
installation of solar panels. Rooftop solar systems are permitted as an electric permit y
and inspected according to appropriate building code. Ground mounted solar systems
are processed as accessory structures for areas under five hundred (500) square feet. r
Ground mounted solar systems exceeding 500 square feet require a Special Use Permit
(SUP). Green Ox Energy Solutions is proposing a five hundred sixty (560) square foot =
solar panel system. This is located just south of Bursey Road and north of Cross
Timbers Park. The panel is proposed to be located ten (10) feet from the property line. _
The property owner proposes two (2) panels now with the opportunity to install an •y
additional six (6) panels at a later date. The structure has three (3) feet clearance on
the bottom with a maximum height of seven (7) feet. The structure has aluminum E
framing. Staff recommends approval of this application because of its low profile design U
and minimal impact to adjacent properties. _
Chairman Randall Shiftlet opened Public Hearing for SUP 2014-09 at 07:17 P.M. N
Don Bowen asked if there are zoning ordinances requiring underground cabling from =
the structure to the house. _
a
Clayton Comstock replied that there is no easement involved in this SUP and that this
r
will be underground. This is all on private property. There are specific code N
requirements for the pipes that are located underground per building codes. N
Don Bowen stated that he wished to ensure that these cables are located underground.
a
Clayton agreed that we should consider if there are requirements for underground
cables for future projects. -
N
N
Justin Godsey, representing Green Ox Energy; 13725 Hickory Creek Drive; Haslet
came forward to present. There is existing power in 200 amp service behind the panel
to which the solar panel will tie in. It would be a short run. A landscaping rock liner is
planned underneath the panel to prevent plant growth. Power usage will pull from the
panel before converting to the solar power. Regarding line loss, there would be loss if o
running the distance to the house. This short distance will result in minimal loss. The
CL
line will be underground.

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
From: The Office of the City Manager Date: September 8, 2014
Subject: Ordinance No. 3325, TR 2014-04 Public Hearing and Consideration of
Amendments to Chapter 118 of the North Richland Hills Code of
Ordinances (Zoning Ordinance) Regarding Townhomes in Tract 3A &
3B of the Town Center Zoning District; Special Use Permits for
Businesses with More that 75% Alcohol Revenues, Smoking Shops,
Telemarketing Offices and After Hours Emergency Clinics; and Defining
Thoroughfare Types in Transit Oriented Development Zoning District.
Presenter: John Pitstick, Director of Planning & Development
Summary:
New zoning text revisions are being recommended to clean up and provide clarification
for townhomes in Home Town, allowing new thoroughfare types in Transit Oriented
zoning districts and providing for Special Use Permits for adult bars, smoking shops,
telemarketing offices and after hour emergency clinics.
General Description:
Specific changes in the text revision include:
1. Section 118-472 provides a maximum of 94 townhomes in Tract 3a & 3b of the
Home Town plat. This change is at the request of the Arcadia Development as a
result of new development changes that would allow for more single family
detached housing thus eliminating the need for previously allowed 120 maximum
townhomes in these tracts.
2. Section 118-567 allows for expanded thoroughfare types in the TOD districts
similar to Home Town standards. This will allow more flexibility to developers
regarding thoroughfare types.
3. Section 118-631 changes the permitted use tables to require special use permits
in commercial districts for afterhours emergency clinics and telemarketing offices.
This change allows the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council scrutiny
in approving special use permits for these types of uses.
4. Section 118-565 changes the TOD permitted use tables to require special use
permits for businesses that derive more than 75% of its revenue from alcohol
sales and smoke shops. All other zoning districts require special use permits for
these types of uses. This change will bring the SUP requirement for these uses
within the TOD zoning areas.

Approve Ordinance No. 3325.

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 land
width, parkway widths, R-C-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 TxDCT while the remaining streets are
city streets.
(b) New streets. In addition to standards for existing streets, this section specifies
standards for both 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 or may include any of the designated
Thoroughfare Types in the Town Center regulations (Section 118-471(9)
Thoroughfare Types.
(c) Street Types established. Table 7.1 and associated cross sections or any
designated Thoroughfare Type in the Town Center regulations under Section
118-471(9) 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

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
From: The Office of the City Manager Date: September 8, 2014
Subject: Conduct a Public Hearing on the Fiscal Year 2014/2015 Proposed Tax
Rate
Presenter: Mark Mills, Director of Budget & Research
Summary:
The City Council is requested to open a public hearing on the proposed 61 cent per
$100 of valuation tax rate and receive public comment. At the conclusion of the public
comments, Council is requested to announce Monday, September 22, 2014 as the date
of the vote on the adoption of the tax rate. No action is required at this hearing as it is
held for the purpose of receiving public comment.
General Description:
State legislation requires the City to hold two public hearings on the proposed property
tax rate if the proposed rate exceeds the lower of the effective tax rate or the rollback
rate. For Fiscal Year 2014-2015, the effective tax rate is 59.6348 cents and the rollback
rate is 61.0103 cents. Because the proposed 61 cent tax rate exceeds the effective tax
rate two public hearings are required. This is the second of two scheduled public
hearings. The first public hearing was held on Monday, August 25, 2014.
The vote to adopt the proposed tax rate of 61 cents is scheduled to appear on the
September 22, 2014 Council agenda for the regular 7:00 p.m. City Council meeting. If
adopted, this will maintain the current 61 cent tax rate. This would be the third
consecutive year that the tax rate has remained at 61 cents.
Individual taxpayers' property taxes may decrease, increase or remain the same
depending on the appraised value of their property. Senior and disabled property
owners that have a tax ceiling (even if their property values have increased) will pay the
same amount of property tax as the previous year unless their appraised property value
decreased. They then would pay a lesser amount of property tax.
Recommendation:
Open a Public Hearing on the Fiscal Year 2014/2015 Proposed Tax Rate, Receive
Public Comments on the Proposed 61 Cent Tax Rate, Announce Monday, September
22, 2014 as the Date of the Vote on the Adoption of the Tax Rate, and Close the Public
Hearing.

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
From: The Office of the City Manager Date: September 8, 2014
Subject: Consider Resolution No. 2014-023, Intent to Reimburse Expenditures
with Proceeds of Future Debt.
Presenter: Larry Koonce, Director of Finance
Summary:
The 2014/2015 Capital Projects Budget includes items that may be funded with
certificates of obligation or general obligation bonds. In the meantime, there may be a
need to commence the bidding and awarding of some contracts prior to the receipt of
bond funds. Some of the projects may require funding prior to the bond sale.
General Description:
In order to reimburse expenditures with the proceeds of future debt, Council is legally
required to approve a resolution to this affect. Council approved a similar resolution in
prior years.
The resolution presented for Council approval includes projects that may be reimbursed
with proceeds from the upcoming bond sale anticipated in October 2014, with bond
proceeds to be delivered in early December 2014. The projects include:
• $250,000 of 2003 bond election G.O.s for City Hall Construction (EOC)
• $18,600,000 Certificates of Obligation (C.O.$) for City Hall Construction
• $270,000 C.O.s for the Animal Adoption and Rescue Center
• $2,900,000 C.O.s for Rufe Snow (from Mid-Cities to Hightower) Street
Improvements
• $3,000,000 C.O.s for the replacement of CADIRMS Public Safety Software
Platform
• $200,000 C.O.s for the replacement of an Asphalt Paver
• $240,000 for the estimated cost of issuance
This resolution does not authorize the issuance of bonds. It only stipulates that any
expenses made prior to a bond sale may be reimbursed with bond proceeds. The total
amount of bonds for these projects will not exceed $25,460,000 including the costs of
issuance. Staff anticipates the actual amount expended before the bond sale will be
much less than this. Any interim funding required will be appropriated from existing
reserves and will be repaid upon receipt of the bond proceeds. Approval of the
resolution will allow the City of North Richland Hills to reimburse any of these
expenditures with proceeds from the planned bond sale.
