Ms. Thomas would be reviewing the results of the 2015 Citizen Survey. Ms. Thomas reviewed the following objectives for the study: • Identify key measures of quality of life, public safety and service delivery; • Identify where to maintain and improve city services; and • Input from citizens to assist city officials in resource allocation, budget and policy decisions The study included an online citizen feedback session and was also mailed to 8,000 households. The online citizen feedback was conducted between October 1 and October 16, 2015. The mailed survey allowed the citizen to complete and return the survey or to take the online survey. The city received a total of 953 responses from the public (600 mailed in survey and 353 took online survey). Ms. Thomas informed Council the margin of error is at a 95% confidence level plus or minus 3.2 %. The survey results were broken down by eight districts. The districts correspond with the Police Department's Area of Responsibility (AOR). Ms. Thomas reviewed the demographics of the respondents, the importance and quality of city services, and service prioritization (ranked by most important, high quality rating, least important and low quality rating). Ms. Thomas outlined the results of the service prioritization. Most important / high quality rating – • Fire /ambulance service • Parks, trails, open spaces • Recycling collection Most important / low quality rating — March 14, 2016 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 2of14 • Maintenance of residential streets • Traffic signal timing • Management of traffic flow • Code enforcement • Maintenance of major roadways • Water service • Animal control • Maintenance of landscaped medians Least important / high quality rating • Library services • Recreation programs and services • Special events Least important / low quality rating • None Ms. Thomas provided an overview of how North Richland Hills compared to other cities (Southlake, Colleyville, Flower Mound, Hurst, Lewisville, and Bedford) as well as Texas and the United States (where available). In a few cases not all cities were included in the benchmark averages due to some questions not being included in each municipal survey. The statistics were compiled from more than 200 municipal surveys conducted in cities of all sizes throughout the United States. The data shows that North Richland Hills is in the excellent or good rating for city services and quality of life. 4. Discuss and receive update on new City Hall construction.

MOTION TO APPROVE CARRIED 5 -0 C.4 SDP 2016 -01, ORDINANCE NO. 3399, PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM OCH DEVELOPMENT, LLC FOR A SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR IRON HORSE COMMONS ON 27.842 ACRES IN THE 6400 AND 6500 BLOCKS OF IRON HORSE BLVD. APPROVED Mayor Trevino opened the public hearing and called on Planning Manager Clayton Comstock to introduce the item. Planning Manager Clayton Comstock informed Council the applicant OCH Development, LLC is requesting a Special Development Plan for 27.842 acres in the 6400 -6500 blocks of Iron Horse Boulevard. The area is designated on the comprehensive land use plan as Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and the current zoning is TOD. Mr. Comstock provided a location map of the site. Applicant representative John Pitstick, 700 West Harwood Road, Hurst, Texas introduced Dustin Austin with Our Country Homes and Dan Quinto of Roaring Brook Development Company. Mr. Pitstick presented the request to Council. The Special Development Plan proposes: three (3) phases, four (4) building types, and thee (3) builders. Mr. Pitstick commented March 14, 2016 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 9 of 14 that the proposal exceeds masonry requirements, open space requirement and parking regulations. Mr. Pitstick reviewed the following Special Development Plan guidelines: meets the goals and intent of TOD code; provides alternative "master plan' predictable market response; provides appropriate transitions; public benefits including usable open space, transit connectivity; and does not hinder future opportunities for higher intensity TOD development. Mr. Pitstick addressed and provided information on buildings that back a public street, mixed use criteria, open space distribution, Iron Horse on- street parking, internal street design flexibility and reduction of facade openings. Planning Manager Clayton Comstock informed Council there are six waivers requested from the Transit Oriented Development that include: (1) buildings required to front a street; (2) mixed use criteria; (3) open space distribution; (4) Iron Horse on- street parking; (5) internal street designs and (6) 30% facade opening. Mr. Comstock informed council that the code, with regard to mixed use criteria, specifically states that commercial uses shall be located within 200 feet of Iron Horse Boulevard, Browning Drive, and Hilltop Drive. He commented there is an interpretation question regarding commercial uses in the Transit Oriented Development. When the code was constructed was it the intent to have commercial uses along the before - mentioned roads or by right does the code allows for single - family residential uses in this area. Another point of interpretation pertains to open space distribution. The regulating plan has blocks that identify open spaces, but there is no requirement for dedicating space within the identified areas. Staff is seeking clarification from Council of the intent for the open spaces identified on the regulating plan. Is the intent to have larger open spaces as illustrated on the regulating plan or use open space distribution of 5% over the entire development? Mr. Comstock advised that the TOD was amended in 2013 to allow for town center zoning district road sections to be used in the TOD. Staff is concerned with on- street parking and maneuverability through the streets. Staff is asking for RD 50 -29 that will add a little more space on the street. The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their March 3, 2016 meeting, recommended approval with a vote of 6 -0. Council and staff discussed the item and requested waivers to the Transit Oriented Development. Mayor Trevino called for anyone wishing to speak for or against the request to come forward. Mr. Ruben Gonzales, 5353 Colorado Boulevard, commented that the street side parking would make it hard to transition from the north side to Loop 820. He further commented that he would like to see more open space. There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing. COUNCIL MEMBER TURNAGE MOVED TO APPROVE ORDINANCE No. 3399. COUNCIL MEMBER WHITSON SECONDED THE MOTION. Council members made additional comments on the requested waivers. March 14, 2016 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 10 of 14 MOTION TO APPROVE FAILED BY A VOTE OF 2 -3; WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS TURNAGE AND WHITSON VOTING IN FAVOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS RODRIGUEZ, LOMBARD AND BARTH VOTING AGAINST.
