Consideration is being given to canceling this meeting since it falls during the holidays Staff does not foresee any items that will be affected by this meeting being cancelled. Unless any of the Council Members have a problem, Staff will proceed with the cancellation of the December 27, 1999 Council Meeting Respectfully submitte d, %,/L!c4 M//a}s O^YI -• Patricia Hutson City Secretary a ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 99-078 Date. May 24, 1999 Subject. Location and Broadcasting of Pre-Council Meeting At the March 29, 1999 City Council meeting Council considered GN 99-30 regarding broadcasting Pre-Council meetings. At that meeting the City Council approved to broadcast Pre-Council meetings for a test period of three months and that the Pre-Council meetings were to be held during this time in the City Council Chambers. Councilman Russell Mitchell has requested that this item is placed on the agenda for further consideration. Relocating the Pre-Council meeting to the Pre-Council room would present no problems but if it is Council's desire to broadcast these as we have been doing since March 29, then it will be necessary to install one or two cameras for the Pre-Council room. IR 99-34 dated March 15 outlines several options for broadcasting in Pre-Council room should Council decide that is desired. In addition to the options in IR 99-34, it is possible to have a camera on tnpod, but this would required wiring from the control room adjacent to the Council Chambers and a second part time employee to operate the camera. This too would require additional space, thereby possibly reducing the number of seats for spectators in the Pre-Council room. Respectfully submitted, CA,r4vvit Larry J.

That is what is being done at this time.

Following are the options available for this request Option #1 -$10,000 The installation of wiring from the Council Chambers production room to the Pre-Council Room and the purchase and installation of two automated ceiling-mounted cameras to provide optimum coverage of Council members and presentations. - Option#2 . $6,400 Wiring of Pre-Council Room and purchase and installation of one camera in the most feasible location. Option #3 —Taped replay of Pre-Council Meeting This option would require a camera and tri-pod set up in the Pre-Council room and a camera operator. It would limit camera angles and would also take up seating space in the room. The taped, unedited, replay could be broadcast the day following the Council meeting. Option #4 — Produce taped-delayed broadcast of a "news" formatted program highlighting issues discussed in Pre-Council meetings. This production would require considerably more production and turn-around time. Besides the cost for installation and purchase of cameras,there would be minimal impact on the staff operating costs. Staff will be present to answer any questions the Council may have. Res Ily submitted, - r Donna Huerta Communications Director MB ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 99-076 - Date. May 19, 1999 Subject. Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and Rezoning Strategy for Strummer Drive, Lots 1-12, Block D, Richland Oaks Addition and Review of the Land Uses Along Precinct Line Road North of the Railroad Tracks City Council at the May 10, 1999 meeting instructed Staff to discern the planning issues and develop ideas for land use planning and rezoning possibilities for Lots 1-12 on Strummer Drive as a result of the Zone Change Request PZ 99-06 submitted by Alan Newland just for Lot 5 to Local Retail. Since May 10", Mr. Newland has submitted a letter requesting to withdraw his application because the property owner was not willing to extend the contract any further. Mr Newland's withdrawal does not negate the need to review the land use and zoning issues along Strummer Drive. The withdrawal, however, does remove his timing issue with the process City Council voted 7-0 to postpone PZ 99-06 until amendments were made to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the City instituted a zone change request. Council also stipulated that Staff notify property owners within 200' of possible changes to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. City Council noted the evolution of Strummer Drive with the development of the two shopping centers to the east and the widening of the street from 2 lanes to 5 and its effect on the residences to the west. When the shopping center with Haverty's was originally approved in 1985 from R-1 Single Family Residential to C-1 Commercial, City Council approved some stipulations as part of the ordinance The stipulations required a site plan be incorporated in the zoning; the changes to Bedford-Euless Road, as approved by the Highway Department, be incorporated into the zoning; no curb cuts on Strummer; an eight foot fence and landscaping as shown be placed on the west side of the tract and an eight foot fence be placed on the north side of the tract. City Council in 1994 was acquiring right-of-way to widen Strummer Drive from 2 lanes to 5 lanes and initiated PZ 94-07 to delete the stipulations approved in 1985 Staff has put together some strategy ideas for Council to consider. These ideas came about from the discussion at the public hearing on May 10" as well as written comments submitted by Council These ideas are not meant to limit other ideas, but to give Council a good starting place to derive a consensus on how to address the redevelopment issues on Strummer Drive and Precinct Line Road. Land Use Planning Issues C. Land Use Categories Currently Only One Commercial Land Use Category Exists Create New Commercial Land Use Category (Low Intensity Commercial) C.

What about Lots that Remain Used Residentially? C. Always Require Parking in the Rear? C. Effect of Adjacent Property Values In the District and Outside the District C. Driveways (Shared Driveways between Commercial & Residential Uses) C. Is Unanimous Consent of the Property Owners of Lots 1-12 Desired? In addition, Staff is receiving similar types of zone change requests on Precinct Line Road. Consideration of land uses and zoning along Precinct Line Road is a little different than the Strummer Drive area, because it is more isolated and less developed. The concerns and issues, however, are just as important. Staff can certainly address the land use planning in the area or review of that area could wait until the Comprehensive Land Use Plan is updated The Planning Staff has submitted a budget request for the update of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for Fiscal Year 1999-2000. Attached, Staff has developed a tentative timeline to accomplish the desires of City Council for similar redeveloping areas and the property owners on Strummer Drive Also, attached is a list of potential permitted uses to consider allowing in a new zoning district. Staff Recommendation: Strongly consider creating a new land use category such as a low intensity commercial and a new zoning district The new land use category would provide for the lower intensive commercial uses such as offices, personal service establishments and small retail uses only to be allowed to develop adjacent to single family development. Such a land use category would serve as a better buffer between commercial and low density residential than now exists. Good planning principals direct cities to develop strategies that address issues such as Strummer-Road and Precinct Line Road in order to create an environment where commercial and residential uses can co-exist in harmony. K\Cases\Staff ReportslIR 99-076 Comp Plan 5-24 doc 2 Developing a new zoning district would provide an avenue that could be used again in other similar situations.

F y u : -K.-2 J �' INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 99-075 Date May 24, 1999 Subject: Phase II — Landscaping and Sign Regulations and other Development Related Issues In March, City Council approved Phase I of the Landscaping and Sign regulations. These regulations were geared primarily toward new construction as well as addressing some "clean-up" type issues in both ordinances The City Council also agreed that to adequately address the entire scope of enhancements to both landscaping and signage that it would be more appropriate to approach these in a phased manner. At this point, staff would like direction in two areas. One area is the time frame of implementing Phase II of both ordinances. The second area is the implementation of the four remaining areas that were identified to be reviewed, but have not been addressed by the Land Use Ad Hoc Committee (LUAHC) or staff. The areas yet to be addressed in Phase II of landscaping and signage are: restrictions on portable and vehicle signs, phasing out of existing pole signs, streetscape, tree preservation, tree planting, etc. IR 99-019 dated February 8, 1999 explains in more detail the recommended plan of a phased approach. The four topic areas remaining to be reviewed in the overall land use review are architectural design and layout, subdivision ordinance, land use plan and thoroughfare plan. These four areas will require extensive use of outside consultants. If Council does reconvene the LUAHC, it will still require the use of outside professional assistance. (It should be noted that there are some members of the LUAHC that have moved, therefore replacements will be needed if this committee is to be reactivated). There are no remaining funds left in this fiscal year for consultants to address these issues. However, the planning staff, as part of the annual budget process, is recommending updating the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, which would also address the thoroughfare plan. It could easily be expanded to cover the other two areas; architectural design and subdivision standards. If the City Council were to approve funds in next year's budget to address the LUAHC's recommendations this could be accomplished during the 1999/2000 fiscal year. If Council desires to proceed immediately then we could utilize funds from the council contingency fund. Our current comprehensive plan was adopted in September 1997. Since then a Land Use Assumptions map was adopted in September 1996. Also, a Mid-Cities Overlay Plan addressed development, standards, and land use. A minor update of our Comprehensive Plan is needed to incorporate some of the changes made when the Land Use Assumptions map was completed in 1996. This update would take anywhere from 4 to 6 months in addition to those actually amending the Comprehensive Plan to reflect the new changes. Also, the Town Center development needs to be indicated on the Comprehensive Plan and specific focus needs to be given to development along our major corridors, especially Precinct Line, IH 820 and Grapevine Highway. a ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS IR 99-075 If Council approves the necessary funding then a professional planning firm would be selected and will work closely with our staff. The city will have a fully staffed department that can work with the consultant in areas to be identified such as, employment trends, transportation schedules, demographic information, neighboring city plans, etc Then, the final draft of the plan would follow typical public hearings before P & Z and City Council. Regardless of the route chosen the employing of outside consultants is essential to adequately and accurately address these four remaining development issues. Respectfully submitted, Steve Norwood' Assistant City Manager INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 99-019 - Date. February 8, 1999 Subject Proposed Phasing of Sign & Landscaping Regulations As outlined in IR 99-012, dated January 25, 1999, staff offered an approach for consideration to move forward with review and recommendations on the Proposed Sign and Landscape Ordinances. The process would categorize the recommendations in each area into two basic phases. The first phase would focus on sections of the recommendations that seem to have the most impact on land that has not previously been developed. The second phase would focus on issues related to redevelopment and previously developed areas of the City. This approach would allow staff to concentrate their efforts primarily on undeveloped property. This seems to be the areas that the Ad Hoc Committee, the Boards and Commissions and the City Council have indicated they have the greatest concern with. Based on concurrence from Council, staff will proceed with review and recommendations back to Council that would include more detailed explanations of each recommendation, any relevant comments from the reviewing boards or commissions, a statement of the current regulations in each area and a staff recommendation, where appropriate. We further would appreciate Councils agreement, disagreement, etc. of the recommendations to be considered in Phase I. We have attached a survey to this IR that we would request Council complete and return by Pre-Council time Monday, February 8, 1999. Based on your collective ratings, we can get an idea of relative importance of each item. With all of this input from these bodies, our staff will evaluate the impact of the proposed regulations on development, suggest changes where deemed necessary, and provide recommendations for an upcoming worksession. The staff recommendation language may vary from the Ad Hoc committee language due to modifications to merge the language into an ordinance and as a result of the evaluation process to determine feasibility, practicality, and impact. The following phases are recommended. The numbers in each of these correspond to those of the Land Use Ad Hoc Committee recommendations in their January 12, 1999 report. SIGN RECOMMENDATIONS PHASE ONE- New Construction in All Areas 1. Sign Structure and Design Blend with Buildings 2. Pole Signs Prohibited Outside Freeway Overlay 5. Sign Maintenance and Removal 6. Banner Sign Permitting and Restrictions 7. Consistency for Multi-sign Developments 9. Landscaping for Sign Base 10. Fewer and Lower Profile Signs per Lot ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS 2 PHASE TWO- Remaining Recommendations for 2nd & 3r0 Quarter Review 3. Restrictions on Portable and Vehicle Signs 4. Phase-out of Non-Conforming Signs 8 Encourage Alternative Type Signs 11 Vigorous Enforcement of Sign Regulations LANDSCAPE RECOMMENDATIONS PHASE ONE- New Construction in All Areas 2. Parking Lot Landscaping Buffer and Design 3. Buffers — Between Zones and Adjacent to Roadways 4. Landscape Maintenance 7. Utility/ Service Area Screening 9. Irrigation Regulations PHASE TWO- Remaining Recommendations for 2n° & 3rd Quarter Review 1. Streetscape Program 5. Revision of Approved Plant List 6. Chain Link and Wood Fence Restrictions & Requirements 8. Tree Preservation 10. Tree Planting Program 11. Citywide Green Space Planning 12. Landscape and Maintenance Enforcement The placement of recommendations outlined above can certainly be rearranged to either phase based on direction from the Council. By focusing on a limited number of "time critical" recommendations, staff can provide more detail on each recommendation. The information on recommendations that would impact mostly new construction in all areas could be prepared and presented to Council within 30 days for detailed discussion and consideration at a Council worksession. With Council consensus, a public hearing date and possible implementation date could be established at that worksession. Most problems we have been dealing with in the current Sign and Landscaping Ordinances will be identified and corrected during Phase One. Any remaining issues will be addressed in Phase Two. Some examples of corrections during Phase One should include • Clarifying the requirement of landscaping requirements in "street yard", Zoning Ordinance definition can create unreasonable burden on property owner/developer. • Clarify "maintenance" responsibility for existing landscaping; • Include additional notification and abatement procedures for non-conforming landscaping; • Correct conflict on driveway visibility language related to signs; • Clarify sign language regarding "...average surrounding ground area...."; • Additional language regarding damage to signs and abatement process for signs. 3 As you are aware, we are recruiting for a Director of Planning and have Just received notice that the City Planner is resigning to accept a Planning Director position in another state This makes it very difficult to staff the Land Use Ad Hoc Committee. Staffing of at least one of these positions is crucial to supplying sufficient staff support to the Committee. Therefore, it is our plan to advise this committee of our need to delay further meetings with them until we can get at least one of the two vacant positions filled. We will be ready to review this phasing schedule with Council Monday, and again, will appreciate your completion of the attached survey.

On March 15, 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 2376, which outlines the changes from a previous collection method utilized based on an exclusive franchise with Southwestern Bell Telephone The new ordinance establishes that a telecommunications provider desiring to provide local telephone service in the City must make application and be approved by the City in order to use the public Rights of Way The Right of Way usage agreements are based on a "per-line' access charge so that the City will remain "revenue neutral" by collecting basically the same amount of money from multiple providers as it previously collected from Southwestern Bell (SWB). The current franchise agreement with SWB is set to expire in January, 2000. SWB has filed an 'Application for Municipal Consent° and is requesting to convert to the "per-lines charge effective June 1, 1999. In order to handle future anticipated requests from other providers, the City needs to convert our sole provider, SWB, prior to approval of any other companies. The Ordinance provides for agreements not to exceed five years and SWB is requesting a four year agreement This method will permit SWB to reduce payments in direct proportion to any reduction in number of lines they service. Any new providers, after receiving approval from the City, will pay the City for new customers they provide service to. As the number of telecommunications lines increase in the City, regardless of which provider, the per-line fee will be collected and remitted to the City As of April, 1999, the revenues are Just over $500,000.00 annually.

While the ordinance allows the City Council to review each application, Federal and State regulations prohibit the City from doing anything that would constitute a "barrier to entry" by a telecommunications provider. As such, unless information is obtained from the telecommunications providers application that would give the City a legal reason for denying the application, the City Council is required to approve the application SWB filed their application and application fee with the City in April. Staff and the City Attorney have reviewed the application and believe that they have met the terms and conditions outlined in Ord.

North Richland Hills Youth Advisory Committee Annual Report May 24, 1999 Once again, the Youth Advisory Committee has had a successful year. With James Saint leaving, the committee has had the pleasure of working with Tina Harvey. Tina Harvey, employed by the Parks and Recreation Department, has formed a plan for the committee, which puts them under the supervision of the Parks and Recreation Department of the City This plan includes using the Youth Advisory Committee to see how the Parks and Recreation Department can serve the youth of our community better. The Youth Advisory Committee has recognized Birdville High School as a member school of the committee and is excited to appoint new members from this school when the time is appropriate. As of now, the committee has decided to recommend changes to the by-laws to include one representative from Birdville High and decrease Haltom High to one representative When Haltom no longer includes North Richland Hills citizens, then Birdville High would have two representatives The rest of the committee will consist of students from Richland, Nolan, Shannon, and Fort Worth Christian. When the Youth Advisory Committee began the 1998-99 term, we chose the Bridge Shelter as our long-term project. We decided to work with a group of people our own age. Last December, the committee visited the Bridge Shelter to help wrap Chnstmas presents for the children. We were also able to spend some time with the children and get to know them. Through the Bridge Shelter, we have become involved with the Host Homes program. The Host Homes program finds temporary homes for the children of the Bridge Shelter. The committee played an important role in the program by posting signs and explaining Host Homes at places such as churches in our community Our meetings have been held at various places this year such as the Fire Station, Library, Police Station and Recreation Center. As we continue our year, we hope to remain successful and to finish what we started.

Bicycle, pedestrian and transportation enhancements are included in this transportation plan. NCTCOG is particularly interested in communities (neighborhoods and commercial areas) along the trail benefiting from increased travel options, increased economic activity, but with fewer cars on the road. Developed in conjunction with NCTCOG's Bicycle and Pedestrian Task Force, the Plan calls for $233 million funding to support bicycle and pedestrian facilities, including the Veloweb. The Veloweb, is an interconnected network of off-street trails designed to provide safe, efficient mobility opportunities to bicyclists. The Cottonbelt Trail is included in the Veloweb plan in Mobility 2020. The City of North Richland Hills has received CMAQ funding under the ISTEA program for the Cottonbelt Trail through North Richland Hills. The project is currently under design. Bicycle Transportation Districts (BTD) are being recommended, as a part of Mobility 2020, to promote bicycle commuting as a more viable mode of travel. BTD's may include on-road and off-road routes, bicycle parking at storefronts and businesses, bicycle storage facilities, lockers, and other amenities, such as the proposed North Richland Hills Bike Transit Station at the new Town Center. The City of North Richland Hills has submitted an application for funding of the Bike Transit Station in the call for TEA-21 CMAQ projects. The Parks and Recreation Department will also submit this project in the TEA-21 Enhancement call in August 1999. This will provide an extra opportunity to receive funding in either call.
