PZ 98-40 Public Hearing to Consider the Request of Bill Gietema of Arcadia Realty Group for a
Change of Zoning from I1-Industrial, C1-Commercial, I2-Industrial & R7-Multi-family to
Town Center District on approximately 280 acres in the C. Walker Surveys, A-1652 &
1653; T. K. Martin Survey, A-1055; and the J. Barlough Survey, A-130. Ordinance
No. 2360
The City of NRH has received an application for the Town Center Zoning District that was recently
considered and approved by the P&Z. This property contains approximately 280 acres and is
bounded by Davis Boulevard, Mid-Cities Boulevard, Grapevine Highway & Precinct Line Road. This
property is currently zoned a mixture of commercial, industrial and multi-family.
The developer has provided a spiral bound information booklet titled “North Richland Hills Town
Center”. Please refer to this document regarding the specifics of the development. The Regulating
Plan figure 1A, the Town Center Core Parking Count page 14, and the Street Types map on page 15
are the important sources of information for this zoning case. Remaining information in the document
has been addressed in the creation of the Town Center Zoning District that was approved by the
Commission on 12.10.98.
Attached please find a copy of the regulating plan for the proposed Town Center (Exhibit A). It
indicates 4 subzones; 1) Neighborhood Edge, 2) Neighborhood General, 3) Neighborhood Center,
and 4) Commercial Core. A brief description of these subzones follows:
Neighborhood Edge: The most pure residential zoning district. Uses permitted are residential uses
and restricted other uses in the ancillary building.
Neighborhood General: Primarily residential but allows for mixed uses. It carefully creates, controls
and allows a mixed-use environment.
Neighborhood Center: The social center of the neighborhood. It is at the center of the
neighborhood and encourages mixed use.
Commercial Core: The densest portion of the Town Center. It encourages commercial development
with retail at grade. Uses are arranged vertically. A strong sense of urbanity is created by strict
delineation of frontages and public space.
As indicated above, the project totals approximately 280 acres. Realistically the property will develop
in a phased sequence. Information from the developer indicates a 10-year build out. The applicant/
developer will discuss proposed phasing at the meeting.
The applicant is proposing to utilize shared parking agreements for the site. Information regarding
the location of the shared parking agreements is attached as Exhibit B. The shared parking
regulations are included in the TND District Ordinance that was passed by the Commission on
12.10.98. Review of parking for a use in the development will take place at the building permit stage.
The developer will be required to provide parking in accordance with the TND Ordinance.
The applicant is proposing to use materials that are permitted in the TND Ordinance passed by the
Commission on 12.10.98. This includes stucco, hardiplank, and clapboard. These materials,
according to the amended masonry definition, are specifically prohibited in the City of NRH. The
applicant will be presenting information relative to proposed building materials and architectural
standards during the meeting.
The proposed street patterns for the development are attached as Exhibit C. The street type
illustration indicates the ROW and pavement widths for each of the proposed streets. The NRH Fire
and Police Departments have been included in the review of the Plan and were included in the design
workshop. All input from emergency services has been taken and applied to the development.
All property owners within 200’ of this zoning change application have been notified. Staff has
received a letter of support from the Homeowners’ Association of Spring Oaks. This letter is attached
for your review. This request is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan as amended by the
Commission on 12.10.98.
RECOMMENDATION:
To Approve PZ 98-40 and Ordinance No. 2360 subject to adhering to the shared parking regulations
of the TND Ordinance, the establishment of a Homeowner’s Association, and the creation of a Village
Architect and Architecture Review Committee.

PZ 98-55 Public Hearing to Consider the Request of Marshall Merritt for a Special Use Permit to
allow a Car Wash and Gasoline Sales at a Proposed Convenience Store on Lot 5,
Block 1, Walker Branch Addition. (Located on the Northwest Corner of Grapevine
Highway & Harwood Road) Ordinance No. 2361
Mr. Merritt is the applicant in this Special Use Permit request for a convenience store with gas sales,
car wash, and a fast food restaurant. The property is currently zoned C1-Commercial. The attached
zoning exhibit provides additional information on surrounding zoning. The car wash triggers a special
use permit for the development according to the Zoning Ordinance. Following are the issues
associated with this request:
1. Hours of Operation: This development is proposed to be open on a 24-hour basis.
2. Activities or Uses Permitted: Uses permitted shall be convenience store, gasoline sales, car
wash and a fast food restaurant. Other incidental uses may be permitted in the future.
3. Landscaping: The site exceeds the 15% total lot area landscaping required. The site plan
however does not indicate a total or landscaping tabulations that indicate conformance with the
new landscape ordinance. It appears from the site plan that the development meets the intent;
however, without the landscaping table, it is impossible to determine exact conformance or non-
conformance.
4. Sidewalks: The applicant is providing sidewalks adjacent to public streets, as required.
5. Signage: The applicant is proposing 2 signs for the property. The first being a monument sign on
Harwood Road totaling 118 square feet. The second is a pole sign that conforms to the square
footage and height requirements. The applicant has been advised that the pole sign must have 2
supports and these supports shall be constructed of the same material as the exterior of the
building.
6. Lighting: The applicant is proposing 18’ metal light poles around the property and 250 watt lights
on the building itself.
7. Exterior Construction Materials: The applicant has been advised that commercial construction
shall consist of brick, rock, stone or finished tilt wall. The applicant is proposing to use split face
stone. The applicant will be providing a sample of this material at the meeting.
8. Dumpster: The applicant has been advised that dumpsters visible from public ROW shall be
screened with a masonry screening wall that matches the masonry of the structure.
All property owners within 200’ have been notified. To date one letter of support has been received
from Taco Bell, which is attached. No adverse comments have been received.
This request is in conformance with the currently adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City
of NRH.
RECOMMENDATION:
To approve PZ 98-55 and Ordinance No. 2361 subject to meeting Ordinance No. 2340 & Ordinance
No. 2341 (new landscaping & sign regulations) and adhering to the new masonry requirements
approved by the P&Z on December 10, 1998.
