Call to Order
Chairman Shiflet called the meeting to order at 6:31 p.m.
A.1 Recent City Council Action, Development Activity Report, and General
Announcements
Senior Planner, Clayton Comstock presented a certificate to Don Bowen from the City.
Don was honored as the 2014 Planning Commissioner Award at the Texas Chapter of
the American Planning Association on Friday, October 17, 2014 in Frisco, Texas.
Assistant Chairman, Steven Cooper announced that his employer is sending him on a
temporary assignment to Washington DC for about 6 (six) months. He intends to return
about one time per month. He believes it appropriate that he step down from the
Assistant Chairman position. He does not wish to resign from the board. Councilman,
Welch has asked him to stay on with the board. Senior Planner, Clayton Comstock
reviewed that he should submit a resignation letter to the Planning Department. He
asked that Steven remain in this role for today's meeting and that a vote be placed on
the agenda. Director, John Pitstick reiterated that once appointed to the board, the
positions are determined by the board members. So, the board would need to propose
and vote on a replacement Vice Chairman for this interim.
Chairman, Randall Shiflet stated that moving forward, he has an interest in stepping
down from the Chairman role to allow someone else to have that experience.
Senior Planner, Clayton Comstock came forward to present announcements. City Hall
will be closed on Christmas Day and the day after. There will be no Jan 1, 2015
Planning and Zoning Meeting. December City Council did approve the solar panel
ordinance and accessory building ordinance. We anticipate seeing the first couple of
SUP applications within the next few months. Chairman, Randall Shiflet commented
that it is worth reviewing the Council discussion to see where our Council is going.
Forest Lane case, R-1-S application was withdrawn because the SUP can fall under the
new accessory building ordinance that was passed. Chesapeake gas well site was
approved without any additional tag ons. Graham Ranch phases II and III were also
approved.
A.2 Briefing of Items on the December 18, 2014 Planning and Zoning
Commission Regular Session Agenda
Senior Planner, Clayton Comstock came forward to present this evening's applications.
Tonight's application from Jason's Deli Express is a SUP to allow materials other than
those specified in the masonry definition for new construction. Jason's is proposing
canopy trees to shield the residential property behind them. Other materials proposed
on the front are 46% 22 gauge core tin steel panels, 7% formed board concrete, 25%
Cyprus wood, 22% exposed structural metal . On the rear are 48% 22 gauge core tin
steel panels, 39% formed board concrete, 13% Cyprus wood. On the staff report, we
talked about the Cyprus wood. We've reviewed the material, staining and sustainability
of that material, with a better comfort level of that material.
Assistant Chairman, Steve Cooper brought up the concern of setting a precedent of
variations to masonry requirements. John Pitstick brought up that this building has to
be looked as a new building. Clayton Comstock brought up that the SUP process is
handled individually, considering the other property in the neighborhood. Various
factors are considering including breaking up the monotony of the architecture.
Two (2) final plats were presented before as final plats. Because they have not been
filed with the county, and there were changes made to the plat, these are being
submitted again after approval to the City Council. First is Cambridge Place plat.
Basically, the developer, over the past two (2) months has developed a public open
space trailhead amenity parking lot for the Cottonbelt trail. In doing that, he wants to
move two (2) lots to the east. Also, they created more open space along the Iron Horse
Boulevard area to create less of a tunnel effect. They were well into moving dirt before
we got this worked out. This final plat still meets the zoning and the intent of the
preliminary plat, so staff approves. Second is Smithfield final plat. The City used to
own this property. The person we sold this to wants this to be two (2) lots. The final
plat is for two (2) lots. There is a portion of right of way to be abandoned. The
engineering has not been completed. The buyer will need to install sewer to lot seven
(7) before they can be issued a building permit for lot eight (8).
Randall Shiflet asked if this is John Pitstick's last meeting. He said he will have one
more meeting on January 15, 2015. John's retirement date is January 16, 2015.
B.0 ADJOURNMENT
There being no other business, Chairman Shiflet adjourned the meeting at 6:54 p.m.

A.2 PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
Jerry Tyner led the Pledge of Allegiance.
Chairman Randall Shiflet announced that Jerry Tyner participates in the Planning and
Zoning Board. As Ex Officio, he can participate in discussion, but he is not allowed to
vote. In such capacity, the charter does not allow for him to vote. Even if we only had
three (3) regular commissioners, he is not allowed to vote. We do encourage him to
participate and look forward to the time when one of the Board members is no longer in
that position and becomes a regular board member. I try to explain that a little more
frequently.

C. CONSIDERATION OF PLANNING & ZONING REQUESTS
C.1 SUP 2014-15 PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST
FROM JASON'S DELI FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO REQUEST THE
ALLOWANCE OF MATERIALS OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED IN THE
MASONRY DEFINITION FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION IN THE NORTH
RICHLAND HILLS CODE OF ORDINANCES FOR A 1.69 ACRE PARCEL
LOCATED AT 8517 DAVIS BOULEVARD.
APPROVED
Senior Planner, Clayton Comstock came forward to present. This application from
Jason's Deli Express is a SUP to allow materials other than those specified in the
masonry definition for new construction. There are development activities going on at
the west side of Davis Boulevard just north of North Tarrant Parkway. There is a vacant
lot where we expect two other buildings to be located south of the Aldi. The Site Plan
has not yet been fully reviewed and approved. There is another building proposed for
this site. Masonry requirements (eight five (85) % coverage) will be met on this other
building. Jason's is proposing canopy trees for vegetative screening to shield the
residential property behind this property. On the west (rear) side, staff is recommending
minimum 4 inch caliper Pinion Oak or similar trees. Other materials proposed on the
front are 46% 22 gauge corten steel panels, 7% formed board concrete, 25% Cyprus
wood, 22% exposed structural metal. On the rear are 48% 22 gauge corten steel
panels, 39% formed board concrete, 13% Cyprus wood. The Davis Car Wash is a good
example of exposed structural steel. On the staff report, we discussed the Cyprus
wood. Since the staff report was written, staff did receive more information from the
applicant. Please retract the staff recommendation report regarding the cypress
material. Staff has reviewed the type of wood and type of staining of that material after
which we do not have as big a concern with sustainability of the cypress material. It is
still a discussion point because it does exceed that fifteen (15)%. This application does
provide architectural diversity for this development area. Because of the durability of
sustainability of the type of wood and type of stain materials proposed, staff is in favor of
these materials. Besides the one landscape recommendation, Staff does recommend
approval of this application.
Applicant, Brian Hagemier; 1801 Watermark Drive; Columbus, OH, representing GPD
Group for Jason's Deli, came forward to present. Also have Jason's Deli owner and the
architect of record present this evening. We feel that the materials are in keeping with
the same line as masonry. These materials are also more natural state which is in line
with the Jason Deli philosophy. Jason's likes a new fresh look in a more natural state.
We had not previously submitted support materials to discuss the sustainability of the
cypress wood material. So, we brought this report today to submit as part of our
application. We are also coating and sealing the cypress with a specific UV protection.
Wesley Stevens, 218 N Promenade, Long Beach, CA, representing Innovations Design
and Architecture, came forward to present materials. We also have a sample board so
that you can get your hands on the samples. The cypress is a natural 5/4 saw on
thickness, an affordable % inch tongue and groove design. There is a custom Sherwin
Williams slight pickeling effect stain that provides strong UV protection. The concrete
planking is more pleasing than old school concrete. There is a "board" pattern that is
pressed into the natural concrete to create the image as if it were wood. We are
proposing a similar type of material that is like a "lick & stick" application to speed up the
construction process and save some cost. Corten is a natural aging and rusting steel. It
rusts to a particular degree due to the elements. Normally, we seal that to prevent any
type of run off. We have opted to go with a painted version. Off the shelf pre-primed
structural steel is proposed. We prefer that the structural steel not be finished. There
will be a protective covering on the steel to aid in longevity issues. We are looking at a
pre-primed exterior grade structural steel. There is a powder-coated fascia. Our two
glazing materials will be Super E Solar rated. It is a two (2) inch thickness to give it high
quality temperature resistance. There is a grey tinted (remaining glass treatment)
version as well as a green version (along the top). Mr Hagemier pointed out that the
glazing is providing natural light for the facility.
Chairman, Randal Shiflet inquired about aging (rusting) of the structural steel. He
wishes to have assurance that there will not be rust streaking. Mr Stevens responded
that the painted version is designed to protect the surface from the streaking as
described.
Chairman, Randal Shiflet inquired about the pressed concrete relativity to what is
referenced as Hardy Board. Mr. Stevens responded that the board form pattern will be
on pre-formed panels. The manufacturer would recommend the appropriate panel size,
which when applied, is not perceptible difference from that which is poured in place.
Steven Cooper inquired about the durability and frequency of staining of the cypress
wood. Mr Stevens responded that the stain should be reapplied each three (3) to five
(5) years. The cypress wood does not require sanding, only a cleaning and wiping on a
new stain. The stain to be used on top of the cypress wood is an oil-based product, as
is the wood, thereby an additional level of protection. He reiterated that cypress is
naturally rot-resistance, so the staining is not really a requirement.
Mark Haynes inquired if this is the first Jason's Deli Express location. Mr. Hagemeir
responded that it is.
Chairman Randall Shiflet inquired about the Leads Certified facility. Mr. Hagemeir
responded that it is not classified as such. The methodology is using sustainable
products, which is what we are working towards in selecting the elements.
Chairman, Randall Shiflet inquired about protection of the residential neighbors. Mr.
Hagemeir responded that there will be landscaping along the top triangle. It will be
landscaped with evergreens. Also, we've also taken care of that building so they aren't
just seeing the rear of a building.
Steven Cooper inquired about canopy trees to block between the businesses and
residential. Would the businesses behind be higher elevation? Clayton Comstock
responded that the elevations behind this property will be higher. Mr. Stevens
discussed the elevation drawings. With the existing trees that will not be touched, the
residential neighbors will have restricted visibility to these buildings. The trees are at
that location right now, which will not be touched. Additional landscaping will be added
for additional protection. Mr. Cooper inquired if the second building should have
additional screening. Clayton Comstock stated that the requirement is for one (1) large
canopy tree for every thirty (30) feet for space within that area. Forty (40)% would be
required to be evergreen. Chairman, Shiflet inquired if it is appropriate for the council to
specify evergreen type. Clayton Comstock responded that it certainly would.
Chairman, Randall Shiflet opened the public hearing at 07:32pm.
Jerry Jarzombek; 8558 Shadybrook Court, North Richland Hills came forward in
opposition. I am one of the neighbors who would be adjacent to this property. His
concern is what the entry to North Richland Hills look like as you enter from Southlake?
He does not see this as a fit with Capital One Bank quality. Corten does not meet the
same quality of masonry requirements. It feels like the storage buildings that are sold at
Home Depot. He asked that the board to consider what that Corten product was; were
he live in the house next door who had to meet eighty five (85)% masonry, would he not
want the adjacent building to also have to meet those requirements? His concern is
that the applicant wants to initial build of this new concept on the "cheap". He suggests
that the building be constructed the same as other Jason's Deli requirements, not what
has been proposed today. He strongly encourages that the board deny this application.
Seeing no additional comments, Chairman, Randall Shiflet closed the public hearing at
07:36pm.
MOTION TO APPROVE
Don Bowen motioned to approve SUP 2014-15 Special Use Permit application
with addition of the landscape barrier in solid evergreen as a sold buffer for the
property. Steven Cooper motioned to second.
Chairman, Randall Shiflet requested to feel the metal materials sample board. Mr
Hagemeir stated that the Corten product is not cheap material. They are not trying to
cheap ouy on this project. This type of product of the existing Jason's Deli.
Don Bowen commented that past behavior was that we lost architectural diversity
battles in the past, which makes our city lose business and lose architectural character.
Bill Schopper commented that if we push too much conformity, we might lose some
business opportunities for growth to the city. Risk is to lose a lot of the more
aggressive, especially food service concepts. He's not sure we are smart enough to be
ahead of the business. His concern is that we can't make them all the same. He
expressed concern that the cypress be stained every three (3) years.
Steven Cooper commented that the Capital One bank and other buildings at that locate
all look the same. He believes this to be a very nice looking facility. The glass makes
this look different, and really good. He is looking forward to seeing it come here.
Chairman, Randall Shiflet expressed concern about the bulldozing of trees. We'll take
these one lot at a time. It goes back to 2000 when everything was scraped clean. We
just need to do the best we can with the damage that was done fifteen (15) years ago.
Senior Planner, Clayton Comstock clarified that if the board wishes to put in a
specification of maintenance requirements in the approval, we have options to do so.
Bill Schopper responded that the restaurant will want to run it well and make it look nice.
He believes it to be un-American to regulate the restaurant to that extent of forcing a
code enforcement officer to regulate when they have to stain the cypress.
APPROVED
The motion passed unanimously 5 (five) to 0 (zero).
C.2 FP 2014-14 CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM CAMBRIDGE NRH
DEVELOPMENT, LLC FOR A FINAL PLAT FOR 60 (SIXTY) RESIDENTIAL
LOTS IN THE CAMBRIDGE PLACE ADDITION ON 17.397 ACREES IN THE
6800 BLOCK OF IRON HORSE BOULEVARD.
APPROVED
Applicant, Scott Sandlin, 2137 Davis Boulevard came forward to present. Mr. Sandlin
stated that we already had grading and utilities underway before we were approached
to consider some variations. We've added a parking lot on the west side and living
screening. We still have the same number of lots, just increased open space. It is a
better layout for the community, not just the neighborhood.
MOTION TO APPROVE
Steven Cooper motioned to approve FP 2014-14 request for Final Plat. Mark
Haynes motioned to second. The motion passed unanimously 5 (five) to 0 (zero).
C.3 FP 2014-07 CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM THE CITY OF NORTH
RICHLAND HILLS FOR A FINAL PLAT FOR LOTS 7 AND 8, BLOCK 8,
SMITHFIELD ACRES ADDITION, 2ND SECTION ON 1.1255 ACRES AT 6936
SMITHFIELD ROAD.
APPROVED
Assistant Planner, Chad VanSteenberg came forward to present Smithfield Bakers final
plat. The city used to own this property. The person we sold this to wants this to be two
(2) lots. The final plat is for two (2) lots. There is a portion of right of way to be
abandoned. The engineering has not been completed. The buyer will need to install
sewer to lot seven (7) before they can be issued a building permit for lot eight (8). Staff
recommends approval.
MOTION TO APPROVE
Bill Schopper motioned to approve FP 2014-07. The motion was seconded by
Steven Cooper. The motion passed unanimously 5 (five) to 0 (zero).

A.1 Recent City Council Action, Development Activity Report, and General
Announcements
Senior Planner Clayton Comstock spoke about the City Council approving everything
that Planning and Zoning had sent to them from their previous meeting.
Regarding recent development activity, CVS will be one of the pad sites in front of the
Kroger. They just submitted a Site Plan to DRC for review. The developer for the
Kroger Marketplace development may be coming in for a zoning change for something
on the west of the property. The Smith Farm Addition on Douglas Lane has made plat
application. The gun range has made a special use permit request for a new gun range
under a new operator. According to their submittal, they are planning to have the first
indoor skeet shooting in America. It will take up half of the building and will lease out
the other half for restaurants and shops. No long range rifle bays are proposed with this
application.
CBS 11 news aired a story about a petition to repeal the solar ordinance being
submitted to the City. Those signatures are in the process of being confirmed right now.
It is likely that it will come back to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The
petitioners' main argument is the SUP requirement for street facing panels.
A.2 Briefing of Items on the January 15, 2015 Planning and Zoning Commission
Regular Session Agenda
Director of Planning and Development John Pitstick presented ZC 2015-02 zoning
change from "R-2" Single Family to "R-1-S" Special Single Family on 2.79 acres located
at 7221 Eden Road. At our recommendation, the applicant requested R-2 zoning and
went to City Council in December with that request. Staff was under the impression that
he could keep and use the barn for the legal non-conforming use of keeping a quarter
horse and a heifer. At Council's request, it is being brought back for an R-1-S zoning
change.
The second item was presented by John Pitstick for AP 2015-01, consideration of an
Amended Plat for Harmon Farms on 9.059 acres in the 7300 block of Eden Road.
Oncor and the City each requested various drainage and utility easements. These
easements, however, do not affect the number of lots nor the location of lot lines. The
Zoning Board of Adjustment approved a lot that has three sides to it to move the side
yard setback from 20 feet to 15 feet.
Senior Planner Clayton Comstock presented RP 2015-01, consideration of a request
from William A. Sandlin for a Replat of Lot 2R1, Block 1, Davis-North Tarrant Parkway
Addition located at 8350 Davis Boulevard. The purpose of this plat is to show the
easements for water, sewer and common access. It subdivides the property into six
total lots: five pad sites up front and a large pad in the back for an anchor or retail strip.
This replat will allow them to keep grading and installing the infrastructure to get some
more activity at the site.
The last item on the agenda was presented by Clayton Comstock: FP 2015-01,
consideration of a request from Pulte Homes of Texas, L.P. for a Final Plat of the
Reserve at Forest Glenn; being 74 Lots on 28.94 acres located at the northeast corner
of Smithfield Road and Bursey Road. Crews are already out there under an early
grading permit to put in erosion control fencing and construction entrances. They are
preparing to start once Planning & Zoning and City Council approve the plat. They will
leave the channel where it is. Toward the northeast the channel will remain in its
natural state.

quarter horse and a heifer. At Council's request, it is being brought back for an R-1-S
zoning change.
Applicant Greg Clifton; 2701 Fogsmen Ct; Hurst, TX presented the request and was
available to answer questions from the Commission.
The Commission had no questions for staff or the applicant. Chairman Shiflet asked for
anyone wishing to speak on the item to come forward. There being no one wishing to
speak, Chairman Shiflet closed the Public Hearing at 7:05 p.m.

APPROVED
Chairman Shiflet called on Senior Planner Clayton Comstock to present the item.
Senior Planner Clayton Comstock presented the staff report for RP 2015-017
consideration of a request from William A. Sandlin for a Replat of Lot 2R1, Block 1,
Davis-North Tarrant Parkway Addition located at 8350 Davis Boulevard. The purpose
of this plat is to show the easements for water, sewer and common access. It
subdivides the property into six total lots: five pad sites up front and a large pad in the
back for an anchor or retail strip. This replat will allow them to keep grading and
installing the infrastructure to get some more activity at the site.
Don Bowen asked Clayton Comstock if staff's recommendation was subject to DRC's
review of the plat as mentioned in the staff report.
Clayton Comstock said that all DRC comments had been addressed at the time of the
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting.
Applicant James Dollar; General Partner of this project, 511 E. Carpenter Freeway;
Irving, TX presented the request and was available for questions. There will be an
access easement stubbing to the east.

CA FP 2015-01 CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM PULTE HOMES OF
TEXAS, L.P. FOR A FINAL PLAT OF THE RESERVE AT FOREST GLENN;
BEING 74 LOTS ON 28.94 ACRES LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER
OF SMITHFIELD ROAD AND BURSEY ROAD.
APPROVED
Chairman Shiflet called on Senior Planner Clayton Comstock to present the item.
Senior Planner Clayton Comstock presented the staff report for a Final Plat of the
Reserve at Forest Glenn; being 74 lots on 28.94 acres located at the northeast corner of
Smithfield Road and Bursey Road. Construction crews are already on the property
under an early grading permit to put in erosion control and fencing. They are preparing
to start once Planning & Zoning and City Council approves. They will leave the channel
where it is. The northeast end of the channel will remain in its natural state.
Applicant Marc Paquette; 5751 Kroger Drive Suite 185; Keller, TX came forward to
present on behalf of Pulte Homes of Texas. The plat before you is for 74 lots on the
28.94 acres; all are R-2 zoning with a minimum of 9,000 square feet lots. They meet or
exceed the development standards. The major feature is the drainage channel; there
will be no crossing of the channel. It will be an HOA maintained lot. Pulte has signed a
watercourse maintenance agreement and turned it into the City. We will be improving
the channel by adding a concrete flume at the bottom and having terrace sides with
small retaining walls. It will inhibit the growth of weeds and so forth. It will remain
natural on the northeast of the channel. All streets will be public streets with water and
sewer from the City. All landscaping will be maintained by the HOA. Once this is
approved and goes to City Council we will begin construction as soon as possible.
Chairman Randall Shiftlet asked the applicant if he has the necessary permits from the
Corps of Engineers.
Marc Paquette said we have applied for the permit and it is in the process of getting the
comments back. We sat with the Corps and had different options we have discussed.
We won't be doing any work on the drainage channel until there is a permit in hand. We
kept a fence up around that area of the channel to prevent the Contractors from doing
any work in that area.
KATHY LUPPY MOVED TO APPROVE FP 2015-01. MARK HAYNES SECONDED THE MOTION.
MOTION TO APPROVE CARRIED 4-0.

PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
✓ x, r,'. MEMORANDUM
From Office of Planning and Development Date: 2-19-2015
Subject: Agenda Item No. C.1
ZC 2014-19 Public Hearing and consideration of a request from Cambium Capital,
LLC for a Zoning Change from AG Agricultural to TC Town Center (Neighborhood
Center Subzone) on 1.83 acres located at 8008 & 8012 Newman Drive.
Presenter: Clayton Comstock, Senior Planner
CASE SUMMARY: Cambium Capital, LLC is requesting a zoning change from "AG"
Agricultural to "TC" Town Center with a subzone designation of "Neighborhood Center'
on 1.83 acres at 8008 and 8012 Newman Drive. The purpose of the zoning request is
to allow for the extension of Hometown and the development of 20 new townhomes.
APPROVAL PROCESS FOR TOWN CENTER: The Town Center Zoning District Code
lays out the sequence of public approvals before construction may commence on a
property that requires rezoning to Town Center. One cannot happen prior to any other:
1. Comprehensive Plan Revision — NOT REQUIRED
2. Zoning Change Approval — Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council
3. Concept Plan Approval — Development Review Committee (staff) only
4. Preliminary Plat — Planning & Zoning Commission only
5. Final Plat— Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council
CONCEPT PLAN PREPARED: So that the Planning & Zoning Commission and City
Council can see what the developer's plan is for the subject property, the Development
Review Committee (DRC) has been working with the developer on a Concept Plan that
meets the Town Center Zoning District standards and can accompany the zoning
change request through the approval process. If City Council approves the zoning,
DRC's approval of the Concept Plan would follow shortly.

Conceptual elevations for the proposed townhomes within this development.
EXISTING CONDITIONS: Two existing single-family residential lots of about 38,000
square feet each. Both homes have been demolished within the past two years.
CURRENT ZONING: Each of the two lots is zoned "AG" Agricultural.
PLAT STATUS: The property at 8008 Newman Drive (western lot) is platted as Lot 1,
Block 23, Sunny Meadow Addition. The property at 8012 Newman Drive (eastern lot) is
not platted and is described as Tract 6A1, John H. Barlough Survey, Abstract No. 130.
If the zoning request is approved by City Council, the applicant will follow with a
Preliminary and Final Plat for the development.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: This 1.83-acre area is shown on the Comprehensive Land
Use Plan for "Town Center." The Town Center Land Use directly relates to the Town
Center Zoning District. The Town Center is intended to establish development
standards to promote a sustainable, high quality, mixed-use development scenario that
provides the opportunity for many uses typically associated with a city's "town center."
The Town Center is comprised of the Neighborhood Edge, Neighborhood General,
Neighborhood Center and Neighborhood Core "subzones." Each subzone provides for
a gradient of development and use intensity. The Edge Zone is almost exclusively
single-family houses. The General Zone is primarily single-family with the opportunity
for limited office use in a house. The Center and Core Zones allow for a true mix of
uses, including residential and non-residential uses in the same building. All the
components of each zone—the buildings, the streets and the public spaces—are scaled
for that one in an effort to create and sustain an integrated living environment.
This 1.83-acre area is one of only a few areas planned for future expansion of the Town
Center. The proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
SURROUNDING ZONING / LAND USE:
North: C-1 Commercial / Retail (Liberty Bank)
West: TC Town Center– Neighborhood Center/ Town Center
South: TC Town Center– Neighborhood Center/ Town Center
East: TC Town Center– Neighborhood Center/ Town Center
REVISION TO TOWN CENTER REGULATING PLAN: If approved, the zoning change
ordinance for this case would also incorporate a new Regulating Plan map into Section
118-472 of the Zoning Ordinance that shows this area as "Neighborhood Center." The
attached Regulating Plan reflects the addition of this area. Staff is also working on
updating this Plan with the new parcel lines of the approved developments on the east
side of The Lakes.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of ZC 2014-19.

PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
MEMORANDUM
From Office of Planning and Development Date: 2-19-2015
Subject: Agenda Item No. C.2
ZC 2015-04 Public Hearing and consideration of a request from Bodyguard
Sports, LLC for a Zoning Change from C-2 Commercial to NR-PD Nonresidential
Planned Development on 9.04 acres located at 7901 Boulevard 26 (former Home
Depot Expo) to include zoning approval for an Indoor Shooting Range, other
indoor amusement and recreational uses, and small vehicle sales.
Presenter: Clayton Comstock, Senior Planner
CASE SUMMARY: Bodyguard Sports, LLC is requesting approval of a Zoning Change
from "C-2" Commercial to "NR-PD" Non-residential Planned Development for the
primary purpose of allowing an Indoor Shooting Range at 7901 Boulevard 26, formerly
occupied by the Home Depot Expo Design Center. Other uses permitted by right by
this NR-PD are those associated with indoor recreation and entertainment as well as
small recreational vehicle sales (i.e. boats, ATVs, motorcycles, scooters, wave runners,
golf carts, etc.).
HISTORY: On September 9, 2013, City Council approved a Special Use Permit (SUP)
for the entire 92,475 square feet of this building to be used for an indoor shooting range
(Case SUP 2013-05, Ordinance No. 3269). That SUP had a "sunset" provision,
whereby the indoor shooting range use was required to be commenced before January
1, 2015 otherwise the entitlement would expire. The former operator was not able to
establish their business within the given timeframe and therefore the indoor shooting
range use is no longer permitted on the property.
NEW OPERATOR, DIVERSIFIED USES: This new operator/applicant, Bodyguard
Sports, also proposes an indoor shooting range use; but only for 47,000 square feet of
the building. The remaining portions of the building would be allowed any use that falls
under the "C-1" Commercial zoning district category as well as the following indoor
recreation and entertainment uses:
1. Indoor Amusement Arcade
2. Bowling Lanes
3. Indoor Miniature Golf Course
4. Indoor Race Track
5. Roller or Ice Skating Rink
6. Indoor Skydiving
7. Indoor Rock/Wall Climbing
8. Other Indoor Commercial Recreation
9. Personal Security Training
10.Indoor Golf Range
11.Archery
12.Indoor Music Venue
13.Hardware & Building Materials
14.Micro Brewery
15.Comedy Club
16.Billiards as Accessory Use
17.New Marine Equipment Sales
18.New Motorcycle Sales
19.New Small Vehicle Sales (ATVs, Scooters, Golf Carts, etc.)
20.Outdoor Sales & Display associated to marine equipment, motorcycles,
and other small vehicles limited to the westernmost row of parking stalls
along Davis Blvd.
Bodyguard Sports has proposed to use their 47,000 square feet with the following uses-
1. Open/Public Firing Range Lanes
2. Tactical Firing Range Lanes
3. Indoor Skeet Range
4. Gunsmith
5. Archery Lanes
6. Classroom / Event Space
7. Retail sales of firearms and firearm accessories
8. Simunition Non-live Fire (airsoft/paintball) Training
9. Laser-video Firing Systems
A business plan summary is attached that provides more detail for these uses.
As with the previous shooting range operator, this applicant will honor the site
improvements from the prior application. These improvements include:
• Existing fire lanes to be repainted
• Existing concrete light pole bases to be repainted
• Existing internal traffic control devices (i.e. stop signs, speed
bumps, etc.) to be replaced or refurbished
• Existing chain link fence on each side of the loading dock to be
replaced or refurbished
• Franchise utilities to be contacted regarding the removal of a
dead-end utility pole extension at the northwest corner of the
property
• Existing irrigation system to be inspected and repaired as
required to provide fully operational system
• Handicap-accessible sidewalk ramp to be installed on the north
side of the Davis Boulevard driveway at the northwest corner of
the property
• The 6' wood fence between the property and the vacant
commercial property to the north to be removed
EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS: The site is currently developed with a 92,475 square
foot retail building constructed in 1999 and formerly occupied by Home Depot's "Expo
Design Center" concept. The property was vacated in 2005 and has sat dormant since.
Much of the site has been maintained to minimal levels.
PLATTING STATUS: The property is platted as Lot 1R, Block 1, Venture Addition. No
replat will be necessary as part of the zoning change or the accompanying
improvements being proposed.
EXISTING ZONING: C-2 Commercial with a Special Use Permit approval for "Indoor
Shooting Range" which expired on January 1, 2015.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan depicts "Retail" for this property.
The Retail Land Use is intended to permit a variety of retail trade, personal and
business services establishments and offices.
SURROUNDING ZONING / LAND USE:
North: R-2 Single Family / Low Density Residential
C-2 Commercial / Retail
South: C-1 & C-2 Commercial / Retail
East: C-1 Commercial / Retail
West: Davis Boulevard (FM 1938) Right-of-Way & Flyover
SAFETY & NOISE: With such a proposal, public safety and noise abatement measures
are of utmost concern. The NRH Police Department has reviewed the details of the
application throughout the DRC review process and confirms the applicant is using the
industry standard in bullet containment systems, baffles, bullet traps, etc. In addition to
a perimeter hallway around the building's interior to act as a sound buffer, the applicant
proposes to use acoustic panels, which absorbs sound and reduces reverberation.
The applicant has committed to being a non-smoking, no-alcohol facility within the
shooting range use area as a condition of the zoning approval. This is unlike other
shooting ranges in the Metroplex which have received recent media attention. Some of
those facilities plan to provide cigar bars and serve alcohol.
BODYGUARD SPORTS BUSINESS PLAN SUMMARY: The applicant has provided a
detailed 16-page description of their proposed indoor shooting range use of the
property. This document (attached) would be incorporated into the approved zoning
ordinance, along with the Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Building Elevations.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of ZC 2015-04.

I
Basically a firearm outfitted with a laser(impossible to insert live ammunition)is directed.
at a screen in which real-life scenarios are presented. Each shooter's laser is tagged with a
chip that is recognized by the computer and provides feedback such as shot placement,
score,tiering etc. 'I'lue shooter's score is uploaded to the wcbsite where they can compare
their score with other shooters. 'There are hundreds of scenarios in which to choose from
ranging front a concealed carry defense,western style shootout etc. There's even a Bianchi
Cup Match course where the shooter shoats the actual course the professional competitors
shoot.
The sister application TiTraining,has many scenarios currently used by Law Enforcement
agencies around the country to include some in the DPW area. It's not only educational.
from a training perspective but lots of fim?

used by military and law enforcement across the country and is rapidly expanding into
the commercial market due to its safe and practical applications.
(2) The shoot house is constructed from wooden panels put together to simulate a house,
office environment,store or anything else. Different furniture and other types of items
typically found in the subject scenarios will be utilized to create a realistic feel. This is
a very safe and challenging educational way to train.
Bodyguard Sports LLC SUP Application: Supplemental
vi) VoodVervice: A food service component in the form of a cafe serving hot and cold
sandwiches. There will be a limited seating area in front of the cafe counter and adjacent to
the retail area. Patrons will also have additional seating in the range lounge(s). Primary
equipment used for the t.bod preparation includes,but not limited to:
(1) MrigQrafion unit-,
(2) Fryer
(3) Grill
(4) Oven
(5) Exhaust system
vii)Adddiunal CVMptPnr : We feel it is Our responsibility to work with the community and
give back. Therefore,we will on occasion,provide our facility Event Center to community
groups who are designed to help their neighborhoods,educational structure,arld the general
well being of the area.
3) Range Construction:
a) Range Equipment Vendor: We have contracted Action Target of Provo,UT to install our range.
Action Target is the premier range equipment company in the U.S. They are the primary vendor
for most of the Federal,Military and Municipal ranges in the country. They have installed the
overwhelming majority of the newer ranges in Texas especially in the DFW area. We selected
them for their professionalism-,work in coordinating with architects and engineers and the
ventilation experts and of course the quality of their product and installation process.
b) Ventilation: We have contracted Carey's Small Arms Range Ventilation out of Tinley Park,IL
to install the range vetitilatioti. As mentioned earlier,the range is a building within a building and
requires its own self-contained ventilation system to ensure airflow works to keep contaminates out
of the range. Extensive research speaking with the best-of-the-best range operators in the country
revealed Carey's is the nation's best at installing a Ventilationsystern that will not only meet but
also exceed all Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA), Environmental Protection
Agency(EPA)and National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health(NIOSH)standards.Texas
doesn't have designated standards and like many other states defaults to these agencies'standards.
As with Action Target,the range equipment vendor,Carey'-,is the preeminent ventilation vendor
for the majority of all Federal,State and local municipal ranges. 'llicir qLialityijicquii)nictitand
pr4cssional installation has now brought them to be the dominant ventilation vendor in the newer
commercial ranges being built across the country. In addition to installing the system,they provide
24/7 monitoring to ensure the systern,is working at peak efficicncy.
4) Most asked questions concerning an indoor shooting range:
a) That assurances do we have a bullet will not exit the range and harm someone?
i) Think-of the range as a building within a building. The bay walls,are constructed of
concrete filled blocks able to stop ammunition greater than what will be allowed to shoot.
ii) The overhead baffles are constructed of AR-500 ballistic steel layered in such a way that no
rowid,can exit from above.
iii)The bullet-trap is Acton Target's Total Containment Trap(TCT)constructed in such
manner that contains the bullet and eliminates ricochets. Because there are no flammable
components to this type of trap,there is no chance of a fire starting due to a type of
ammunition fired. It's designed to collect the lead bullet/fragnients in a patented device
and works in concert with the ventilation system to reduce lead build-up within the range.
Bodyguard Sports LLC SUP Application: Supplemental
b) What about noise? Will there be excessive noise from the building?
The range is constructed of concrete with the building's exterior walls being Tilt-wall
concrete. 'Iberc will be special sound attenuation materials attached on the inner range
walls specifically designed to reduce sound attenuation. These same materials are being
used in several of the newer ranges around the country where they met other municipality
stringent requirements. In the unlikely case sound does escape,it would be a muffle and
not as loud as the normal traffic. Given the physical proximity of the building from Davis
Blvd,Grapevine Hwy.the houses and Ticigbboring businQsscs,no noticeable sound should
be heard. See thoaddiaonal iqf6rinalion on the sound eattenu at ion inalenals.
c) Will there be Professional Supervision on the range?
Yes,whenever there is a shooter shooting,each bay will have a NRA Certified Range
Safety Officer(RSO)on site to ensure the safely of everyone and enforce the range rules.
The number of shooters in the bay will determine how many RSO's will be on-hand. Note:
The NRA RSO courses are the"standard"for firearms safety education nationwide.
d) What.are the checks to ensure no physically(mind altering drugs or alcohol)or mentally
impaired person is allowed on the range?
i) Each person who wishes to shoot Must first read the range rules and acknowledge in writing
they understand and agree to abide by them. Government picture ID's are required to
shoot. During the course of this interaction,the range personnel both at the check-in station
and continuing into the range by the RSO will observe for obvious signs of impairnient
such as alcohol use or mental imbalance. Of course this is a subjective evaluation relegated
to common sense. Regarding alcohol,there is a zero tolerance policy for anyone who is
suspected of having consumed any amount of alcohol or under the influence of mind-
altering drugs. Even if someone who is just in the retail area with a firearm and is
suspected of having consumed alcohol or under the influence of drugs will be required to
leave the premises.
ii) 'Hic Range Safety Officers and other staff'will be educated on how to handle these
situations to ensure the safety of all,
c) What are the age,restrictions to use the range?
i) Since we are going to promote youth shooting especially with groups such as the Boy and
Girl Scouts,4- H Clubs etc,the age limits are a relative thing. Any youth under the legal
age of possessing a firearm without their parent with them must be with an organization
that has their parent's written permission to shoot on the range. That organization must
have a sufficient number of responsible adults to supervise them. Children with parents
must be able to abide by the same rules as everyone else. The Range Safety Officer will
make the subjective call whether to deny usage and require the child to leave. No child that
is so young that they are just accompanying the parent is allowed. If they are not.capable of
handling a firearm in a sale manner according the rules,they will not be permitted to enter
the range. There is no room for error when using firearms!
ii) The bottom line is we are trying to promote firearm safety at an early age. We believe that
is important for the youth to respect firearms and be responsible shooters as they go through
life. Unless there are restrictions placed upon us by our insurance company,a specific age
may not be instituted because even a 17 year old or any adult Could be unsafe.
f) Will the disabled,for example those in wheelchairs be able to shoot?
Yes,the shooting stalls are designed to accommodate wheelchair bound shooters. Those
not relegated to a wheel chair but have trouble standing such as the elderly will have chairs
Bodyguard Sports LLC S(JP Application: Supplemental
provided and given special attention by an additional Range Safety Officer in order for
them to enjoy their shooting experience in a safe manner.
g) What about protection for shooters,froul shooters,In neighboring shooting stalls'!
In addition to the RSOs enforcing the Rango Safety Regulations.the shooting stalls are
constructed of AR500 ballistic steel capable of stopping a.50 Caliber projectile. We wilt not
allow that powerful of round to be shot anyway. The most powerful rifle round allowed will
fie.30 caliber rifle.
5) Benefits for the CAY of North Richland Hills?
a) Shooting facilities are in a.etUahty destination businesses. This means people are not
necessarily drawn to this type of business because of surrounding businesses in the immediate
locality. As such consumers not normally coming to North Richland Hills f()r commerce
put-poses will now be coining to spend their money at our facility and the surrounding venues
North Richland Hills has to offer. Es(imates,are for 50,000 CODSUMer visits yearly where over
90%are anticipated to be from outside the City of'North Richland Hills. We estimate revenues,
for our business alone to range between$2,200,000(low estimate)to$3,100,000(expected
estimate)in the first 12 months. From a calendar year perspective,that's an average of$26,000
(North Richland 11Ms's tax rate of.01)to the city's coffers in the first year. This doesn't
take into account the additional revenue to North Richland Hilts's businesses that would not
otherwise be received and city retail taxes.
b) Services available to North Richland Ifills's Police De artmetnt. We understand the North
Richland Hills Police Dept uses a range at the Tarrant County College facility. The [Tactical
Training]features of our range coupled with the fact that it would practically be located in the
Police Department's"back yard"would benefit the city in not only convenience but from a
budgetary prospective. An affordable contract between our"home"city and our business
would be a win-win for both concerned.
i) The Shoot House and the TiTraining(sister systern to the TiOutdoors)system is a low cost
alternative alleviating the cost of ammunition. Many police departments across the country
use this type of training. It affords the officers the ability to train other than just shooting at
stationary targets on the traditional type of range. A Law Enforcement prograrn has been
designed and available for police department,.,.
ii) "Hie'Tactical Bay is designed for[controlled]forward of the shooting line I,iring and while
moving. '1110 custorn lighting is designed so that it incorporates No-light and Low-light
shooting to simulate the"moonlight"and"streetlight"'environment the officers will likely
encounter in the event they have to unitize their weapons. The tactical bay incorporates
three types of targeting systems plus a 3-D moving target:
(a) 25-Yard electronic keypad moving the targets forward/rearward.
(b) Pneumatic high-speed turning targets at the target line that are remote Controlled by
the trainer. These targets can be actuated in any order or sequence(independently
or as a specified group)
(c) "Runnitig Man"Target System that moves a target the width of the target line.
(d) MoloShot remote controlled 3-D robot target that travels in a 360-degree direction
at the hands of the trainer. It provides a more realistic look it what a moving
(human)target would be.
6) Demographics: Below are the demographics reinforcing the anticipated success of Bodyguard
Sports. It not only shows the spending potential at this location in North Richland Hills but also
compares it with its main competitors.

Shooters will not go fativand of the firing line in this bay. We will use acombination of�4"and
3/8"steel thickness in the'rac-tjcal Bay as shooters will at times go forward of the firing line.
Both of these type baffles are for heavy-duty usage and afford the best protection for the
shooters. fhe baffles utilized are best the industry.

c) Ventilation(Shooting Range): J-he ideal airflow is designated as laminar,or even flow. This is
construed as an air supply wbich has only slight velocity variation,when measured from coiling
to floor. This variation cannot exceed 15%. In order to achieve this desired airflow,special air
distribution systems must be constructed. The primary goal is to provide the proper cubic foot
value of air to the range through the supply duct trunk. The air is then to be distributed through
a continuous graduated plenum to a singular continuous diffuser system. 'the diffuser system
may vary in type per each application.Either dray,each configuration should provide for an
even flow of air across the entire width and height of the range. The exhaust duct system
should be constructed in a fashion that evenly extracts the supply air from the range. Our
experience in this matter has been to create an extraction opening the width of the range,and
capable ol'sustaining an inlet,or capture,velocity o1`2000 1'ect per minute. "ITIC exhaust Tarn
and filter system should be designed to alto",for 350 to 500 1prn velocities across the filter
media. The exhaust fan should be sized so as to allow for operational static pressure a 5"wg at
the desired volume of airflow. The filter media should be that of at least 95%at.03
microns. This will help achieve the federal exhaust emission levels established under EPA 40
CFR 50.12(1.5 Micrograms of lead per cubic meter quarterly).
