Discuss Development Activity Report and City Council action Planning Manager Comstock discussed City Council action from their April 11, 2016, meeting as well as development activity in the city. 3. Discussion of Blood Plasma Centers as a new and unlisted use Planning Manager Comstock introduced the topic and stated that staff is seeking an interpretation from the Commission about where Blood Plasma Centers would fit into April 21, 2016 P &Z Minutes Page 1 } the Table of Permitted Uses. He explained that there had been a few recent inquires to staff from companies interested in locating a facility in the city and he covered existing definitions of the land use from other U.S. communities. The concept of plasma donations that are traded for cash or gift cards was discussed. A list of the current medical- related land use categories was read and input was requested from Commission members. There was a discussion between staff and Commission members about the market for this type of land use and the population that this service would benefit. Chairman Randall Shiflet asked if we could include this use in the current most restrictive land use category and, if the use does not result in any problems, it could be changed to a less restrictive category later. He would like to see a Special Use Permit required in all applicable zones and possibly revisit the matter in the future. Planning Manager Comstock stated that staff will make that revision and bring this back to the Commission for a public hearing. 4.

APPROVED Planning Manager Clayton Comstock introduced the Special Use Permit request and the Final Plat request. Mark Wood, 6617 Precinct Line Road, North Richland Hills, 76182 stated he was here on behalf of property owners Dr. Bob and Susan Griggs. Mr. Wood provided details of both the Zoning Change and Final Plat cases including information about the variance requested for the sewage facility requirements. Vice Chairman Schopper asked if there were any questions for Mr. Wood. Commissioner Mike Benton asked if the applicants had run any percolation tests related to the proposed septic tank. Mr. Wood responded no, they have not. He stated that the owner understands that approval of a variance for septic would be made subject to meeting Tarrant County guidelines, otherwise the sewer line would have to be extended. Planning Manager Comstock summarized the staff report for both requests and discussed the variance request to Section 110 -365 of the North Richland Hills Subdivision Ordinance regarding sewage facility requirements. He stated that staff recommends approval of the Zoning Change and Replat request but denial of the variance request. Chairman Randall Shiflet asked if the recommendation for denial was because of the subdivision regulations. Planning Manager Comstock replied that from a policy standpoint, staff recommends not approving variance requests to the Subdivision Ordinance related to sanitary sewer. He also stated that Justin Naylor, Civil Engineer, is available to answer any questions. April 21, 2016 P &Z Minutes Page 5 Chairman Shiflet stated that this is a one lot subdivision as opposed to a fifty lot subdivision and that one size does not fit all.

RANDALL SHIFLET MOVED TO APPROVE RP 2016 -02 WITH THE VARIANCE TO ALLOW THE SEPTIC SYSTEM. MIKE BENTON SECONDED THE MOTION. Commissioner Benton stated that he would like to add to the motion that approval should be based on the results of the percolation test. He asked if that test would take place before this request goes before the City Council. Planning Manager Comstock stated that it would not likely be conducted prior to City Council. A percolation test would be required from the Tarrant County Health Department when building permits are pulled. If a permit cannot be issued based on those test results, they would have to extend sanitary sewer. Chairman Shiflet asked about the addressing for the proposed lot. Planning Manager Comstock explained that when the replat is processed by city staff the new lot would be assigned an address on Bursey Road.
