The site will also be graded to make the lots more marketable as build-ready. As the lots sell, replats will be submitted so the site can be subdivided per the user's needs. The property is zoned C-1, and all standard zoning regulations will apply upon development, such as 35-foot building setbacks and 15-foot landscape setbacks from residential areas. EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS: The 14.537-acre property at the southeast corner of Davis Boulevard and North Tarrant Parkway is currently vacant. PLATTING STATUS: The existing Lot 2R1 was approved by City Council on January 8, 2014. EXISTING ZONING: "C-1" Commercial SURROUNDING ZONING / LAND USE: North: C-1 Commercial / Retail South: R-1 Residential / Low Density Residential East: PD Planned Development/ Retail (under construction) and C-1 Commercial /Vacant West: C-1 Commercial / Retail and AG / Residential Home COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan depicts "Retail" for this area. The Retail land use is intended to permit a variety of retail trade, personal and business service establishments, and offices. THOROUGHFARE PLAN: The subdivision will have direct access to North Tarrant Parkway, a fully developed roadway classified as a "P6D" 6-lane divided principle arterial with 200 feet or right-of-way . It will also have direct access to Davis Blvd, a fully developed roadway classified as a "P6D" 6-lane divided principle arterial with 120 feet or right-of-way. The applicant will need to obtain a permit from TXDOT regarding driveway locations. ROUGH PROPORTIONALITY DETERMINATION: The developer will be responsible for 100% of all paving, water, sanitary sewer, and drainage infrastructure needed to support the development in accordance with the City's design criteria. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of PP 2014-07.

In order to achieve the depth the applicant requires for some of these lots it will be necessary to rezone a portion of an abutting parcel from "AG" to "R-2". A preliminary plat is also being presented this evening, and is attached below to give perspective on how 32 lots may fit on the surrounding property if this abutting portion is rezoned to "R-2". EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS: The 0.1499-acre property located along the southern portion of 7000 Hightower Dr currently contains a shed belonging to the property that would be removed or relocated. PLATTING STATUS: Unplatted and described as Tract 3A03 in the William Mann Survey, Abstract No. 1010. EXISTING ZONING: "AG" Agricultural COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan depicts "Low Density Residential" for this area. The Low Density Residential Land Use provides for traditional, low- density, single-family detached dwelling units. Staff believes this change in zoning would be consistent with the "Low Density Residential" category and the surrounding uses. SURROUNDING ZONING / LAND USE: North: AG Agricultural / Residential Homestead South: R-2 Residential / vacant East: R-2 Residential / vacant West: R-2 Residential / vacant and Graham Gas Well Site STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Because the proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, approval of ZC 2014-13 is recommended.

Presenter: Chad VanSteenberg, Assistant Planner CASE SUMMARY: Graham Partners, Ltd is requesting approval of a preliminary plat for Graham Ranch Phase III, a 32-lot "R-2" residential subdivision on 9.40 acres located west of Chisholm Trail. The "R-2" Single Family Residential zoning request for the southern portion of 7000 Hightower Dr is also being heard this evening. CASE DETAILS: The proposed lots vary greatly in terms of width, but they are all at least 110 feet in depth with lot sizes generally in the 9,000-11,000 square foot range. There is not a considerable amount of open space proposed, but there are plans to connect the walking trail that runs south and west of the property into the subdivision along the south side of the Chesapeake gas well site. There is also a gas pipeline in the 50' Enserch easement that runs north to south through the property, cutting through several lots. Because of this gas pipeline, the Chesapeake gas well pad site, and the surrounding residential development, the Graham property to the north will likely remain a large estate-size lot in perpetuity. All of this is consistent with the original plan, less the gas pad site, that called for additional lots in this area. As evidence of this consistency, the original preliminary plat is attached below. EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS: The 9.40-acre property located west of Chisholm Trail once contained a "frac pond" associated with the nearby Chesapeake gas well site. The pond has been removed and the area has been regarded. PLATTING STATUS: Unplatted and described as Tract 3A03 in the William Mann Survey, Abstract No. 1010. EXISTING ZONING: "R-2" Residential and "AG" Agricultural. The "R-2" Single Family Residential zoning request for the southern portion of 7000 Hightower Dr is also being heard this evening. SURROUNDING ZONING / LAND USE: North: AG Agricultural / Low Density Residential and R-2 Residential /Vacant and Graham Gas Well Site South: R-3 Residential / Low Density Residential East: R-2 Residential / Low Density Residential West: PD Planned Development/ Medium Density Residential COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan depicts "Low Density Residential" for this area. The Low Density Residential Land Use provides for traditional, low- density, single-family detached dwelling units. Staff believes this change in zoning would be consistent with the "Low Density Residential" category and the surrounding uses. THOROUGHFARE PLAN: The subdivision has direct access to Hightower Dr, a fully developed roadway classified as a "C4U" four-lane undivided major collector with 68 feet of right-of-way. No additional right-of-way is required from this property. ROUGH PROPORTIONALITY DETERMINATION: The developer will be responsible for 100% of all paving, water, sanitary sewer, and drainage infrastructure needed to support the development in accordance with the City's design criteria.

Presenter: Clayton Comstock, Senior Planner CASE SUMMARY: On behalf of Julian & Patricia Sandoval, Green Ox Energy Solutions is requesting approval of a Special Use Permit to install a 560 square foot ground- mounted solar array at the rear of the 2-acre residential property located at 7820 Douglas Lane. The array is planned to be an 8 kilowatt system when all panels are installed, but the owner would only install a 2 kilowatt system initially. The mount is an aluminum metal frame set in concrete foundation. The overall height of the system does not exceed 7 feet. This ground-mounted system would complement another 8- kilowatt system that has been permitted separately for the roof of the primary residence. CITY POLICY ON SOLAR: For years, the City has processed roof-mounted solar panels as an electrical permit and has required the necessary certifications and documentation to ensure safe installation. Ground-mounted systems have been treated similarly; but staff has also classified such systems as "accessory structures" that must meet the height, setback and size regulations under Section 118-718 of the Zoning Ordinance. This application meets all standards for an accessory structure except for the 560 square foot size. The maximum permitted is 500 square feet, but "AG"-zoned properties may request a Special Use Permit for larger accessory structures. A City policy on solar panel systems is currently being reviewed by the Planning Department. Staff would like to use this case as an opportunity for the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council to ask questions of the solar panel installers and discuss what aspects of this particular case should be used—or not used—when crafting a city-wide policy. Following input and resolution on this case, staff will bring a work session item to discuss the topic in more depth.

Presenter: Clayton Comstock, Senior Planner CASE SUMMARY: On behalf of Penny Luker, Air Wind & Solar is requesting approval of a Special Use Permit to install a 1,000+ square foot ground-mounted solar array at 8636 Stonecrest Trail. The mount is an aluminum metal frame set in concrete foundation. The overall height of the system is approximately 16 feet. CITY POLICY ON SOLAR: For years, the City has processed roof-mounted solar panels as an electrical permit and has required the necessary certifications and documentation to ensure safe installation. Ground-mounted systems have been treated similarly; but staff has also classified such systems as "accessory structures" that must meet the height, setback and size regulations under Section 118-718 of the Zoning Ordinance. This application meets all standards for an accessory structure except for the size and height. The maximum permitted is 500 square feet, but "R-1-S"-zoned properties may request a Special Use Permit for larger accessory structures. The Zoning Ordinance also allows City Council to approve structures taller than the 15-foot maximum height. The proposed 16-foot height is driven by the owner's desire to allow their horses to continue grazing under the structure. A City policy on solar panel systems is currently being reviewed by the Planning Department. Staff would like to use this case as an opportunity for the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council to ask questions of the solar panel installers and discuss what aspects of this particular case should be used—or not used—when crafting a city-wide policy. Following input and resolution on this case, staff will bring a work session item to discuss the topic in more depth. EXISTING ZONING: "R-1-S" Special Single Family Residential PLATTING STATUS: Platted as Block 1, Lot 3R of the Stonecrest Addition. SURROUNDING ZONING / LAND USE: North: R-2 Single Family Residential / Low Density Residential South: R-2 Single Family Residential / Low Density Residential East: R-2 Single Family Residential / Low Density Residential West: R-2 Single Family Residential / Low Density Residential STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Because of the proposed 16-foot height, the setback of only 10 feet off an adjacent property owner's 6-foot rear yard fence, and the overall size of the structure, staff recommends denial of Case SUP 2014-10 and encourages the applicant to relocate and/or reduce the height of the proposed structure to not be as imposing on adjacent property owners. Yp On the left side of the photo is the subject property's primary residence. The proposed solar panel array measuring 45'wide, 15'deep and 16'tall would be located 10 feet off the rear property line of the adjacent neighhor's 6 foot fence, in the same general area as the yellow shed in the center of the photo VICINITY MAP Rfield- .. ..........................- --------- ................. _..r _........ ................._........ ..... a.N . ......... , w _.

Presenter: John Pitstick Case Summary: New zoning text revisions are being recommended to clean up and provide clarification for townhomes in Home Town, allowing new thoroughfare types in Transit Oriented zoning districts and providing for Special Use Permits for adult bars, smoking shops, telemarketing offices and after hour emergency clinics. Specific changes in the text revision include- 1. Section 118-472 provides a maximum of 94 townhomes in Tract 3a & 3b of the Home Town plat. This change is at the request of the Arcadia Development as a result of new development changes that would allow for more single family detached housing thus eliminating the need for previously allowed 120 maximum townhomes in these tracts. 2. Section 118-567 allows for expanded thoroughfare types in the TOD districts similar to Home Town standards. This will allow more flexibility to developers regarding thoroughfare types. 3. Section 118-631 changes the permitted use tables to require special use permits in commercial districts for afterhours emergency clinics and telemarketing offices. This change allows the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council scrutiny in approving special use permits for these types of uses. 4. Section 118-565 changes the TOD permitted use tables to require special use permits for businesses that derive more than 75% of its revenue from alcohol sales and smoke shops. All other zoning districts require special use permits for these types of uses. This change will bring the SUP requirement for these uses within the TOD zoning areas. Recommendation: Approval of text changes and ordinance 3325.
