Adjournment CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET JANUARY 22, 1998 PZ 98-01 Public Hearing to Consider the Request of Bob Frank to Amend Planned Development No. 22 Regarding Front Entry Garages for Meadow Lakes Villas. (Located at the west end of Iron Horse Drive) Ordinance No. 2272 Bob Frank is currently developing Meadow Lakes Villas, a Residential Planned Development abutting Iron Horse Golf Course and the city limits of Haltom City. This is generally located just south of Browning Drive and to the west of Meadow Lakes North Addition. The PD Ordinance that was passed for this development in 1996 can be somewhat misleading. The intention of the Planning & Zoning Commission, as well as the City Council, was to limit the number of front entry garages to a maximum of 40% of the total number of lots, which could be no more than 18 lots. The language regarding garage entry requirements has been reworded to state that no more than 40% of the total number of lots, 18, shall be permitted to have front entry garages. Front swing garages shall not be considered to be front entry. The amendment of this PD Ordinance and requirement in no way changes any other restriction within the PD. This amendment is purely a clarification effort and was cooperatively initiated by Bob Frank and city staff. New notices have been sent to all property owners within 200’ of this property. To date, no comments have been received. This request is in compliance with the currently adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City of NRH. This item is now ready for the Commission’s consideration. _____________________ Barry LeBaron, AICP Director of Planning & Inspection Services PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE P & Z Commission: 1/22/98 City Council: 2/9/98 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET JANUARY 22, 1998 PS 97-64 Request of Marvyn Smith for a Final Plat of Lots 1-16, Block 26, Kingswood Estates. (Located in the 7700 Block of Smithfield Road) Marvyn Smith is the owner and developer of this property containing approximately 4.5 acres of land. The property is currently zoned R-2 Residential. The issues associated with this plat are as follows: 1. Platting Requirements: This is a new plat that will be filed and recorded after January 1, 1998. The new platting requirements are now applicable to this development. The new regulations state that lot widths for interior lots have increased from 70’ to 72.5’ and that front building lines have been reduced from 25’ to 20’. The applicant has been advised of these changes. 2. Screening Wall: The applicant has been advised that a screening wall is required on lots adjacent to Smithfield Road. 3. Sidewalks: The applicant has been advised that sidewalks are required adjacent to all public streets. The developer has agreed with all other engineering comments. This plat is in conformance with the currently adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City of NRH. This item is now ready for the Commission’s consideration. _____________________ PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE Barry LeBaron, AICP P & Z Commission: 1/22/98 Director of Planning & Inspection Services City Council: 2/9/98 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET JANUARY 22, 1998 PZ 97-52 Public Hearing to Consider the Request of Dwight Baron for a Zoning Change from AG Agricultural to PD Planned Development for Mini-warehouses on a Portion of Tract 2, Brentwood Estates Addition. (Located in the 8600 Block of Davis Boulevard) Ordinance No. 2264 Mr. Baron is the owner and developer of this 3-½ acre parcel of land on Davis Boulevard. Mr. Baron previously applied for a Special Use Permit to develop Mini-warehouses on this location. This item was considered at the December 11, 1997 meeting of the Planning & Zoning Commission. At that meeting, the P&Z tabled the request in order for the concerned homeowners of Steeple Ridge Addition, directly to the west of the property, and the developer time to have dialogue in order to facilitate an understanding and attempt to reach a more amicable agreement and relationship. As a result of those neighborhood meetings and meeting with city staff, Mr. Baron has changed his request from an SUP to a PD. The issues associated with this PD are as follows: 1. PD Boundaries: The applicant is not requesting a PD for the entire lot. The northern portion of the lot that fronts on Davis Boulevard is not included in the PD request. 2. Rear Setbacks: The developer is proposing to provide a 25’ strip to be left natural and not disturbed. At the 25’ point there will be an 8’ wooden fence constructed. Ten feet beyond the wood fence is the rear of the proposed buildings. In effect, the developer is proposing a 35’ setback from the western most property line. 3. Other Setbacks: There are varying degrees of setbacks from property lines on the proposed site. As previously discussed, the rear setback is indicated to be 35’; side setbacks vary from 15’, to 5’ to 30’, to 36.8’, depending on the location of the building. 4. Dumpster Screening: The applicant has been advised that if a wrought iron fence is constructed that allows the dumpster to be seen from public roads, a screening wall will be required. 5. Landscaping: Fifteen percent of the site would require that 23,000 square feet be utilized as landscape area. The applicant is proposing 17,456 square feet as landscape or pervious area. 6. PD District Area Requirement: The Zoning Ordinance states that a PD district shall be at least four acres in area. Since this item was tabled for further consideration and recommended to be resubmitted as a PD, the district requirements for the PD are being waived. 7. Exterior Lighting: The applicant has been advised that all exterior lighting shall be directed towards the commercial development only. This is indicated on the site plan. 8. Signage: The applicant is requesting that a waiver of the sign regulations be granted, allowing a ratio of greater than one square foot of frontage to one square foot of signage. The applicant is permitted a 65 square foot sign and is asking for a 70 square foot sign, plus a 24 square foot reader board. The total square footage of the proposed sign is 94 square feet. The sign is proposed to be a changeable fixed letter sign with no electronic features. 9. Masonry Requirement: The applicant has been advised that all structures must meet the 75% masonry requirement, as established in the Zoning Ordinance. 10. Screening Wall: The developer is proposing to use the masonry walls of the storage buildings as the masonry-screening wall. Between buildings will be a six (6’) fence. This fence will make the facility totally enclosed. Notices have been sent to all property owners within 200’ of this site. To date, no comments have been received regarding this development. This PD request is in accordance with the principals and concepts of the adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City of NRH. This item is now ready for the Commission’s consideration. _______________________________ Barry LeBaron, AICP Director, Planning & Inspection Services PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE: Planning & Zoning Commission: 1/22/98 City Council: 2/9/98 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET JANUARY 22, 1998 PZ 97-53 Public Hearing to Consider the Request of Dwight Baron for Rezoning from AG Agricultural to C-2 Commercial for a Portion of Tract 2, Brentwood Estates Addition. (Located at 8600 Davis Boulevard) Ordinance No. 2263 This property is located just southwest of the new intersection of Davis Boulevard and Precinct Line Road. The property to the north and south of the parcel is currently zoned AG Agricultural; the property directly adjacent and to the west is the Steeple Ridge Addition and is currently zoned as R-2 Residential. The area proposed to be rezoned from AG to C-2 is a pad site that contains 1.01-acres and fronts on Davis Boulevard. The proposed pad site is approximately 570’ from the western most property line of the proposed mini-warehouse PD. This rezoning request is in conformance with the currently adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City of NRH. Notices have been sent to all property owners within 200’ of this request. To date, staff has not received any comments regarding this request. This item is now ready for the Commission’s consideration. _____________________ Barry LeBaron, AICP Director, Planning & Inspection Services Public Action Schedule Planning & Zoning Commission: 1/22/98 City Council: 2/9/98 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET JANUARY 22, 1998 PS 97-61 Request of D. Kent Davis for a Replat to be known as Lot 3R1-BR, Block 1, Martin Addition. (Located in the 6800 Block of Nob Hill Drive) Mr. Davis previously purchased this property in order to construct a single family home. He has also purchased a portion of an adjacent lot 3R1-A, belonging to Mr. David Barfield. The original lot purchased by Mr. Davis is zoned R2 Residential. The portion of Lot 3R1-A is zoned as Ag Agricultural. The issues associated with this replat are as follows: 1. Zoning: Staff recommends that the portion of the property currently zoned AG should be rezoned to R-2 Residential. 2. Replat: The Texas Local Government Code in Section 212.004 indicates that property cannot be subdivided by meets and bounds alone. This would require that Lot 3R1-A ( The Barfield property) be included in the platting of Lot 3R1-BR (The Davis property). The developer is requesting a waiver of this requirement. 3. Utility Plan: Utility Plans are required when property is platted to ensure that the proposed development obtains and receives adequate service from public utilities, i.e. sewer, and water lines. The Nob Hill area has a history of problems with improper depth of utility lines. The developer has not provided Public Works with these plans. 4. Grading Plan: This lot has steep topography associated with it. Public Works has waived the required Drainage Analysis but feels that an engineered grading plan should be provided. To date, this has not been received. 5. Fire Hydrant: Fire hydrant location needs to be properly indicated on the plat. 6. GPS: The developer is requesting a waiver from providing GPS coordinates for the lot. 7. Sidewalks: The developer is requesting a waiver of the sidewalk requirement. All property owners within 200’ of this property have been notified in accordance with the regulations established in the Local Government Code. To date, no comments have been received. This plat is in conformance with the currently adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan of the City of North Richland Hills. This item is now ready for the Commission’s consideration. _______________________________ PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE: Barry LeBaron, AICP Planning & Zoning: 1/22/98 Director, Planning & Inspection Services City Council: 2/9/98
