Discuss development activity report and City Council action Planning Manager, Clayton Comstock discussed recent development activity. 3. Discuss items from the regular Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Principal Planner Clayton Husband presented PP 2012 -04 - Consideration of a request from Kathy Marthe for an extension of the approval for the Preliminary Plat of Glenann Addition on 2.277 acres located in the 8600 block of Simmons Road. The extension is being requested to provide more time for a final plat to be submitted on phase two of the development. A one -year extension is recommended, which would allow a final plat to be submitted by November 5, 2016, without the owner submitting a new preliminary plat. The subdivision regulations allow the Commission to approve an extension. Planning Manager Clayton Comstock presented PP 2015 -22 - Public Hearing and consideration of a request for a Zoning Change from Redevelopment Planned Development 64 (RD- PD -64) and C -1 Commercial to Redevelopment Planned Development (RD -PD) on 8.5125 acres located at 6700, 6704 and 6720 NE Loop 820. The property is the site of the municipal court, and formerly housed the library and recreation center. The proposed RD -PD district would rezone the entire city property to facilitate further the development of restaurants. It would also amend the development standards that apply to the property. Permitted uses would be limited to full service and fast casual restaurants, with only two fast casual restaurants permitted. Drive through service would not be allowed. In addition, the development standards that apply would be removed since those standards have been added to the zoning ordinance. Principal Planner Clayton Husband presented TR 2015 -03 - Public Hearing and consideration of zoning text amendments to Chapter 118 of the North Richland Hills Code of Ordinances related to Restaurant and Drive - Through Service. The proposed amendment would provide new definitions for fast casual restaurant, full service restaurant, and quick service restaurant. The land use tables would be modified to add the three restaurant uses, either by right or by Special Use Permit. The amendment also includes general site design standards related to drive through service. The proposed amendment includes standards related to driveway access, the location of pick -up windows, menu boards, and speakers, drive - through lane design and screening, and stacking for vehicles. These standards would help ensure that restaurants with drive - through service are compatible with adjacent uses and provide better traffic circulation and pedestrian safety on the site. 4.
