Adjournment CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET June 11, 1998 PS 97-60 Public Hearing to Consider the Request of Jim Walker for a Replat of Lot 1R, Block 2, Thompson Park Estates. (Located in the 6300 Block of Precinct Line Road) Mr. Walker is representing Conoco in this case who wishes to develop this 1.2 acre tract of land into a convenience store with gasoline sales. The property is located on the west side of Precinct Line Road, just south of its intersection with Mid-Cities Boulevard. The property is currently zoned C-1 with a Special Use Permit for a convenience store. This Special Use Permit was approved by the City Council in December 1997. This agenda item is a Public Hearing because the Texas Local Government Code requires public notice and hearing on replatting cases when the property has been zoned for residential land uses within the last five years. The issues associated with this replat are as follows: 1. Sewer: Conoco is proposing to tie into a newly constructed sewer main on the BISD property to the west. At this time the main has not been accepted by the City and is not in service. Before sewer service is available to this site the appropriate approvals will be required of the BISD sewer line. 2. Driveway Spacing: The plat submitted is in conformance with the driveway spacing approved by the City Council in conjunction with the SUP request. All property owners within 200’ of this request have been notified. To date, staff has not received any comments. This plat is in conformance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City of NRH. _____________________ Christopher D. Baker Planner PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE P & Z Commission: 6/11/98 City Council: 7/13/98 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET JUNE 11, 1998 PS 98-13 Request of Cook Consultants for a Final Plat of Lot 1, Block 1, Waterford Addition. (Located in the 6200 Block of Glenview Drive) Jack Cook is representing Triad Senior Living in this final plat case containing approximately 9.3 acres of land. This property is currently zoned R-7 Multi-family, but the applicant has submitted a request for rezoning as a planned development. The rezoning request is a separate agenda item. The issues associated with this Final Plat are as follows: 1. Wetlands: Portions of this property may be considered as wetlands by the Corps of Engineers. The City must obtain copies of all correspondence between the applicant and the Corps of Engineers that relate to wetland determination. 2. Drainage: Big Fossil Creek is adjacent to the west property line. Significant portions of the property is contained within the 100-year flood plain. The developer is proposing to fill portions of the property to reclaim land area in order to increase the buildable pad site. 3. Street Lighting: The developer has been advised that streetlights are a requirement and will be coordinated with the City and the cost paid directly to TU Electric. 4. City Limits: A portion of this plat is located in Haltom City. Since there are no improvements in the Haltom City portion, Haltom City has waived their review of the plat. All other engineering comments have been responded to. This plat is in conformance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City of NRH. _____________________ Christopher D. Baker Planner PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE P & Z Commission: 6/11/98 City Council: 7/13/98 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET JUNE 11, 1997 PZ 98-15 Public Hearing to Consider the Request of WSI Architects for a Zoning Change on Tract 3R, M.Trimble Survey, A-1520 from R-7 Multi-family to PD Planned Development for an Independent Living Facility. (Located in the 6200 Block of Glenview Drive) Ed Stefoniak is representing Triad Senior Development in this zoning change request. Mr. Stefoniak is requesting a change from R-7 Multi-family to PD Planned Development for an independent living facility on the entire 9.3 acre tract of land. This tract is situated between the Waterford on the Green apartments and the Diamond Loch Apartments on Glenview Drive. The proposed development will contain 120 living units. The development will also have a common dining room and restaurant style kitchen facilities. The development would exclusively rent units to senior citizens who are able to live on an independent basis. The adjacent properties to the north and south are zoned R-7 Multi-family. The property to the west is located in Haltom City. Toward the east, across Glenview Drive, is zoned R-1 Residential. The issues associated with this rezoning request are as follows: 1. Dwelling Unit Size: The current NRH Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum dwelling unit size in the R-7 MF district of 650 square feet. The developer is asking for a waiver of the dwelling unit square footage requirements. The proposed average unit size of this development is 504 square feet. Of the 120 units proposed, 100 will be smaller than 650 square feet. The smallest unit proposed is 297 square feet. The City currently operates under the 1991 Uniform Building Code. This Code states that the minimum inhabitable dwelling unit size is 296 square feet. The developer is proposing to construct 18 units that are 1 square foot larger than the minimum allowed. 2. Parking: The Zoning Ordinance requires parking spaces as shown in the following table: Type of Dwelling Unit No. of Parking Spaces Required Efficiency 1 One Bedroom Unit 2 Two Bedroom Unit or more 2.5 Based on the information referenced above, the developer should provide 194 parking spaces. Because this project will serve only senior citizens, the developer has requested a waiver of parking requirements. The developer is proposing to provide 100 spaces, none of which will be covered. 3. Fencing: The developer is proposing to construct a 6’ wooden fence along the north and the south property lines. The developer is proposing a 6’ masonry and wrought iron fence along the eastern property line of the property that fronts on Glenview Drive. 4. Lighting: The developer is proposing to construct approximately thirty-three 25’ light poles with 400-watt bulbs. 5. Elevations: The applicant has provided elevations and an analysis of exterior surface materials. The structures are proposed to be both brick and non-masonry siding. The applicant has broken down masonry coverage for different elevations for both the portions of the building facing Glenview Drive and all others not facing Glenview. Elevations facing Glenview Drive have a 77.4% masonry coverage and elevations not facing Glenview Drive have a masonry coverage of 63.8%. The combined average masonry coverage for the entire structure is 70.6% The Ordinance requires that all elevations be at least 65% masonry. Not all elevations conform to this requirement even though the masonry percentage for the overall structure exceeds the requirement. The developer is asking for a waiver of the requirement that all elevations contain 65% masonry coverage. 6. Hours of Operation: The development will operate the dining room and provide housekeeping staff between 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. 7. Building Heights: Due the extensive floodplain on the property resulting from Big Fossil Creek just to the west of the property, the building area is rather limited. Therefore, the developer proposes to construct a facility that is 3 stories in height along the northern most wing of the facility. This northern most wing is the elevation that faces the rear of the property and is adjacent to Big Fossil Creek. 8. Dumpster Screening: The dumpster location is at the rear of the building and is not visible from any public right-of-way. The developer is proposing to screen the dumpster with a 6’ masonry wall with wooden gates. 9. Signage: The developer is proposing to construct a 6’ externally illuminated monument sign adjacent to Glenview Drive. 10. Access Gate: The developer is not proposing to construct a limited access gate. This is required for all other new multi-family developments in the city. 11. Landscaping: The developer has met the landscaping regulations established by the City. __________________________ Barry LeBaron, AICP; Director of Planning and Inspections PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE: Planning & Zoning Commission: 6/11/98 City Council: 7/13/98 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET JUNE 11, 1998 PZ 98-17 Public Hearing to Consider the Request of David Branach for a Zoning Change on Tract 7D and 7H1, T.K. Martin Survey, Abstract 1055 from AG Agricultural to R-1-S Residential. (Located at 8801 Martin Drive) Mr. David Branach is the owner of this 3.9 acre tract of land. Mr. Branach has previously been before the Commission as the result of the platting process for Lot 9, Block 15, Glenann Addition. One of the requirements of the platting process was that Mr. Branach request a zoning change. The property to the north is zoned Ag Agricultural , to the south is zoned as R1S, Special Residential, the west is zoned as R-3 Residential, and to the east is Ag Agricultural and R2 Residential. Mr. Branach would like to have horses on his property where he plans to construct a home. He is, therefore, requesting a zoning change from Ag, Agricultural to R1S Special Residential. All property owners within 200 feet of this request have been notified. To date staff has not received any adverse comments. This rezoning request is in conformance with the currently adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City of North Richland Hills. ____________________________ Barry LeBaron, AICP, Director Planning & Inspections PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE: Planning & Zoning Commission: 6/11/98 City Council: 6/22/98 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET June 11, 1998 PS 98-25 Request of Herb Cross for Site Plan Approval to Reduce the Masonry Requirements at 7740 NE Loop 820. Mr. Herb Cross is the agent representing Allan Samuels Automotive Dealerships in this site plan approval case. Allan Samuels dealership recently had a fire that destroyed portions of an existing building. Mr. Samuels would like to reconstruct the building. The City Council recently passed an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance that required all new commercial construction in the City to be at least 75% masonry on each elevation. Additionally, this amendment gave the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council site plan approval authority over those cases that did not want to meet the masonry requirement. Mr. Samuels would like to construct a new shop facility that does not have any masonry associated with it. The new facility is proposed to be a 100% metal building. The site plan submitted by the applicant indicates some existing C.I.P. concrete elevations. These elevations are existing and in no way impact the proposed new facility. The Building Official has reviewed the construction plans for the site and has informed Planning staff that the two exhaust fans shown on the west elevation of the proposed building will not be permitted. The installation of these fan units is a violation of the 1991 Uniform Building Code. ___________________________ Barry LeBaron, AICP, Director Planning & Inspections PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE: Planning & Zoning Commission: 6/11/98 City Council: 6/22/98 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET June 11, 1998 PZ 98-26 Request of Brad Young of MDK Development Corp. for Site Plan to Reduce the Masonry Building Requirements on Lot 3, Block 3, Tapp Addition (Located in the 5400 Block of Hilltop Drive). Mr. Brad Young is the agent representing Cary Vollintine in this site plan approval case. Mr. Vollintine owns the Southwest Storage facility on Hilltop Drive. Mr. Vollintine would like to expand his business by constructing a new facility across the street. The exterior of the proposed building does not meet the masonry building requirement of 75%. The proposed structure utilizes inoperable metal doors. These metal doors serve no other purpose than to identify the property as a self-storage facility and to reduce the construction costs for the owner. These doors do not open or access any storage unit. As a result, they cannot be excluded from calculating the masonry percentage of each elevation. Mr. Young would like approval of this site plan so the owner may use false metal doors on the exterior instead of masonry as required by the Zoning Ordinance. ___________________________ Barry LeBaron, AICP, Director Planning & Inspections PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE: Planning & Zoning Commission: 6/11/98 City Council: 7/13/98 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET June 11, 1998 PS 98-29 Request of Adams Consulting Engineers for a Preliminary Plat of Lots 1R & 2, Block 6, Tapp Addition.

Drainage Study: The Public Works Department has requested the applicant submit a drainage study in conjunction with the final plat submittal. 4. Driveway Spacing: Due to the minimum driveway spacing on major collectors, only one entrance will be allowed from the 820 frontage road. 5. Sidewalks: The applicant has been advised that sidewalks are a requirement adjacent to all public streets. The applicant has requested a waiver of sidewalks adjacent to the 820 frontage road. 6.
