The request is to rezone property to accommodate an expansion of the existing UICllnsurance development located immediately to the east of this site. The Comprehensive Plan indicates retail uses for this area and the proposed office-campus setting is consistent with the non-residential nature of the plan. In addition to the rezoning request, the applicant has submitted a preliminary plat and request to revise the Thoroughfare Plan. The Planning and Zoning Commission voted for approval and recommendation of the preliminary plat and Thoroughfare Plan. The revision to the Thoroughfare Plan is listed on tonight's agenda for Council consideration. Mayor Trevino called for public comments.

City Council Minutes January 13, 2003 Page 6 Mr. Michael Clark, representing applicant, explained the request involves two roadways - Road A and Road B. Applicant is requesting abandonment of a portion of Road A as part of the expansion of UICI. The request for Road B allows the road to be deleted from the Thoroughfare Plan upon development of the property as a single lot. If the lot is subdivided in any manner, then Road B will remain on the Thoroughfare Plan. Mr. Pitstick advised Council that in conjunction with UICl's zoning change they requested to abandon a portion of a proposed commercial street. Staff is in favor of removing this section of street from the Thoroughfare Plan. UICI is also requesting a thoroughfare revision ordinance for future abandonment of a perimeter street. Mr. Pitstick advised Council that staff has agreed in concept to remove the commercial street from the Thoroughfare Plan in the future if the major portion of the land is used in a campus type setting with a single user. If UICl's new property is platted as a single lot the proposed ordinance would obligate the City to remove the proposed road from the Thoroughfare Plan. If UICI subdivides the lot in any other manner the road would remain on the Thoroughfare Plan. Mayor Trevino called for public comments. There being no one wishing to comment, Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing. COUNCILMAN TOLBERT MOVED TO APPROVE PZ 2002-37 AND ORDINANCE No. 2678. COUNCILMAN TIM WELCH SECONDED THE MOTION.

Mr. Chad Stanford, 8220 Pecan Ridge Drive, North Richland Hills, real estate manager for QuickTrip in DFW area, spoke on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Stanford briefed the Council on the business background of QuickTrip and presented their request for a specific use permit for a QuickTrip Convenience Store and self-service gasoline station containing 24 gasoline pumps. Mr. Stanford showed Council an architectural rendering of what is being proposed at the southwest corner of Davis and Mid Cities Boulevard. Mr. Stanford showed Council a site plan that was different from the site plan denied by the Planning and Zoning Commission and different from the site plan provided to City Council Minutes January 13, 2003 Page 7 Council in their agenda packets. The site plan presented to Council during Council the meeting showed an access point connecting the site to Newman Road. This access point was not shown on the site plan request that the Planning & Zoning Commission heard last month. Applicant explained that the Newman Road connection was not included in the site plan reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission because of comments that Newman Road might be abandoned in the future. Mr. Stanford explained the connection was added after the Planning and Zoning meeting because of comments made by the commissioners at the meeting. Mr. Stanford requested that Council allow the revisions to the site plan. Mr. Stanford pointed out the following: - they were not requesting any median breaks on Mid Cities Boulevard - site plan allows 50 foot right of way dedication along Mid Cities 12 foot right of way dedication on Davis Boulevard site plan has a through lane on Mid Cities. Mr. Stanford explained that as a result of the traffic impact analysis, City Staff is requesting that the through lane be built. Mr. Stanford addressed the issues pertaining to the Comprehensive Plan mentioned in the Staff report. Mr. Stanford showed Council a conceptual concept plan for the corner. Mr. Stanford stated that the concept plan was not required as part of submittal, but staff indicated they would like to see one. Mr. Stanford stated that they prepared one for presentation purposes that was viewed by the Planning & Zoning Commission. Mr. Stanford stated that the concept plan is conceptual in nature only. The conceptual plan showed their facility on the hard corner with a restaurant, bank and an office building. The concept plan was shown for illustrative purposes to show that the remainder of the property could be developed into attractive retail uses that staff has indicated they would like to see come to this area. Mr. Stanford stated that developing the corner pad does not ruin the developability of the remainder of the tract. Mr. Stanford stated the only thing proposed tonight is the QuikTrip Convenience store on corner. Mr. Stanford addressed staff's concern that approving use would attract future automotive related uses on the tract. Mr. Stanford stated that the land use is proper for the location, the site plan meets the expectations of the Comprehensive Plan with the exception of the additional fueling pumps and future development of the site is controlled by Council through specific use permits. Mr. Stanford stated they did not intend to bring future automotive related uses to this site and they do not feel QuickTrip will deter other uses from this site. Mr. Stanford reviewed the building design and characteristics of facility. The building façade has been upgraded to blend with area and landscaping exceeds what is required by ordinance. Mr. Stanford addressed Staff's request to pitch the canopy and his concerns with pitching the canopy. In response to questions from the Council, Mr. Stanford showed renderings of the landscaping, graphics of the building elevations, and canopy and fuel pump elevations. City Council Minutes January 13, 2003 Page 8 Council verified that the access point off of Smithfield Road had been eliminated. Concerns were expressed that the right-in / right-out on Davis Boulevard needed to be larger to deter people from trying to turn left. Mr. Stanford was asked that signage be installed before cars enter into the triangle to indicate that cars are not to turn left. Mayor Trevino questioned why the concept plan showing the other businesses was not submitted as a conceptual drawing to the Planning & Zoning Commission. Mr. Stanford advised it was submitted at the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, but it was not presented as a formal part of application to the city staff. Mr. Stanford stated that it was not a formal requirement of submittal but after they learned the City would like to see one, it was prepared. Mr. Pitstick gave a summary of the case, Planning & Zoning Commission actions and staff's recommendation. Mr. Pitstick advised Council that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial of PZ 2002-27 by a vote of 3-2 and that the applicant submitted a letter requesting an appeal of Planning and Zoning's recommendation. Mr. Pitstick advised Council the applicant is requesting a Specific Use Permit in the "C-1 Commercial District for a QuikTrip Convenience Store and self-service gasoline station. The store would be located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Mid-Cities Boulevard and Davis Boulevard. Mr. Pitstick advised the Comprehensive Plan recommends retail uses for this intersection and the proposed use is considered an automobile-oriented use that is best suited to a commercial area. This intersection is one of the last undeveloped commercial areas and staff believes the character of any proposed development should be given careful consideration. Staff is recommending denial of PZ 2002-27, Ordinance No. 2681. Mr. Pitstick reviewed the primary concerns of the Planning and Zoning Commission and Staff. Concerns are 1) the intersection of Davis and Mid Cities is one of the few undeveloped prime areas remaining and the Comprehensive Plan does not support an automobile-related use at this location 2) site plan needs to be included for the entire 7 acre tract, rather than a piece-meal approach to the development 3) site has a 6 foot rise and concern with 23' high canopy - not sure trees will shadow unless large caliper trees, 4) the Planning & Zoning Commission has not had the opportunity to review the revised site plan 5) Staff requested a conceptual plan that could be approved with entire tract and QuickTrip chose not to submit one for approval. Council questioned and discussed the following: pitch roof, the improvement of Newman Road by the applicant to a 24 foot driving surface, the right-in / right-out, the right of way dedication on Mid Cities and Davis Boulevard, the addition of the continuous through lane on Mid Cities to the east, and the location of the sidewalks adjacent to the curb. Mayor Trevino called for public comments. Mr. Chad Stanford spoke in favor of the request as a citizen of North Richland Hills. Mr. Stanford further advised that in response to concerns raised by Council, they would be City Council Minutes January 13, 2003 Page 9 willing to asphalt and improve both sides of Newman Road end to end (Smithfield Road to Davis Boulevard). They are also planning to cut the site nearly 8 feet so finished floor of building will be lower. Mr. Stanford requested that Council approve the site plan presented to Council tonight. There being no one else wishing to speak in favor, Mayor Trevino called for those opposed to come forward. Mayor Trevino advised that Charles & Alice Scoma had submitted a letter in opposition to the special use permit There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing.

COUNCILMAN l YLE E. WELCH SECONDED THE MOTION. Motion to approve carried 7-0. 13. GN 2003-004 CONSIDER RESOLUTION URGING STATE LEGISLATORS TO PROVIDE FULL FUNDING FOR THE TEXAS EMISSION REDUCTION PLAN (TERP) OR SENATE BILL 5 ENACTED DURING THE 77TH LEGISLATIVE SESSION- RESOLUTION NO. 2003-002 APPROVED Mr. Greg Vick advised Council the purpose of the resolution is to urge our state legislators to provide full funding for the Texas Emission Reduction Plan (TERP) or Senate Bill 5 which was enacted during the last legislative session. TERP provides incentives for owners and operators of heavy construction equipment to replace or retrofit equipment with new technology that will cut polluting emissions. There are other provisions that call for more scientific research to be done on the air quality problem so that its cause can be better defined and so the most effective and cost efficient methods for remedying the problem can be determined. Funding TERP is important because the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has notified the State of Texas that failure to fully fund the TERP will most likely result in the Dallas/Fort Worth area State Implementation Plan (SIP) for air quality mitigation not being approved. Upon approval from Council staff will forward resolution to our State Legislators.
