Peck Survey, A-1209 from AG Agricultural to C-1 Commercial. (Located in the 8600 Block of Davis Boulevard) Ordinance No. 2284 Mr. Baron came before the Planning & Zoning Commission on January 22, 1998 with a proposal to rezone just a portion of Tract 2, Brentwood Estates Addition to C-1 Commercial. At the January 22, 1998 meeting, Mr. Baron’s rezoning request was approved. However, after the meeting Mr. Baron contacted the adjoining property owner to the north, Mr. Mehlberg. Consequently, both parties have decided to rezone their frontage on Davis Boulevard to C-1 Commercial at one time. Mr. Baron’s C-1 pad site would be approximately 1.1 acre; Mr. Mehlberg’s C-1 pad site would be approximately 2.02 acres. These properties are located just west and southwest of the new intersection of Davis Boulevard and Precinct Line Road. Steeple Ridge Addition, which is currently zoned R-2 Residential, is to the west of this property. This rezoning request is in conformance with the currently adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City of North Richland Hills. Notices have been sent to all property owners within 200 feet of this request. To date, staff has not received any comments regarding this request. _________________________________ Barry LeBaron, AICP Director of Planning & Inspection Services PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE P & Z Commission: 2/12/98 City Council: 4/13/98 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET MARCH 12, 1998 PZ 98-11 Public Hearing to Consider the Request of Dwight Baron of DBI Corporation for a Zoning Change from AG Agricultural to PD Planned Development for Mini- warehouses on a Portion of Tract 2, Brentwood Estates Addition and a Portion of Tract 11-E, T. Peck Survey, A- 1209. (Located in the 8600 Block of Davis Boulevard) Ordinance No. 2285 Mr. Baron is the owner and developer of this 5.4-acre parcel of land on Davis Boulevard. Mr. Baron previously applied for a Planned Development at the January 22, 1998 meeting in order to develop mini-warehouses at this location. His request was approved at that meeting. However, Mr. Baron has requested that staff suspend further progress of his prior approval in order for him to resubmit another case that expands the acreage and the site for mini-warehouses. Mr. Baron’s previous case contained approximately 3.5 acres. The new proposal contains approximately 5.4 acres. The issues associated with this PD are as follows: 1. Citizen Petition: If you recall, at the January 22, 1998 P&Z meeting, citizens in the Steeple Ridge Addition submitted a petition voicing their objection to the proposed mini-warehouse development. Additionally, you may recall that at the February 12, 1998 P & Z meeting these citizens submitted a second petition which objected to the mini-warehouse development and requested the City to consider establishing an overlay zone in the North Davis Blvd. area. Texas Zoning Statues state that if the owners of 20% of all the property within 200’ of the area being considered for rezoning sign a petition voicing their opposition, then the City Council can only approve the rezoning request by ¾ vote. Staff has reviewed the first petition and determined that there are not sufficient signatures to trigger the ¾ vote by the City Council. A review of the second petition still did not contain enough land area to require the ¾ vote by the City Council. 2. Buffer Yard: Many of the issues associated with Mr. Baron’s previous submittal were associated with the proximity of this development to the Steeple Ridge Subdivision. If you recall, at the prior public hearing, most citizen comments referenced the need for a wide buffer yard at the rear of the mini-warehouse development. Mr. Baron’s new site plan shows a 60’ buffer at the rear of the property that abuts Steeple Ridge Addition. However, this buffer area is not included in the boundary of the Planned Development. The site plan shows a proposed wooden fence 60’ from the rear property line. The first building will be situated an additional 10’ from that proposed wooden fence. Staff recommends that the 60’ buffer yard be incorporated into the boundary limits of the PD. 3. Building Setbacks: The PD proposes to leave a five-foot (5’) setback from the north and south property lines. 4. Drainage: This property will need to be replatted into one lot and block. There will be drainage issues that will be more closely scrutinized during the platting process. 5. Hours of Operation: Mr. Baron has indicated that the manager’s office will be open daily from 8 – 5:30 and that gate access is allowed only between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. 6. Landscaping: The Zoning Ordinance requires that 15% of the total lot area be landscaped, with 7½ % being in the front yard. The PD does not meet this criteria. Additionally, the applicant has utilized tree credits in calculating the landscaped area. The trees the applicant has used for credit are within the 70’ rear yard buffer area. However, this rear yard buffer area is not included within the boundaries of the PD. The applicant has been advised that trees not included in the PD cannot be used as landscaping credit. 7. Exterior Lighting: The applicant has provided and indicated where exterior lighting shall be constructed on site. 8. Sidewalks: The applicant has provided for sidewalks adjacent to Davis Boulevard. 9. Screening & Fencing: The applicant will be utilizing the rear of all buildings as masonry- screening walls. Elevations indicate that buildings constructed will be of brick. However, between buildings the site plan indicates that wrought iron fencing will be utilized. All property owners within 200’ of this request have been notified. To date, staff has not received any comments regarding this particular proposal. However, the previously submitted petition must still be considered. This PD request is in conformance with the currently adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City of NRH. _____________________ Barry LeBaron, AICP Director of Planning & Inspection Services PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE P & Z Commission: 3/12/98 City Council: 4/13/98 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET MARCH 12, 1998 PS 98-07 Request of Guy Griffeth of Garvon, Inc., for a Preliminary Plat to be known as Lot 1, Block 1, Garvon Addition. (Located at 8100 Bedford-Euless Road) Garvon, Inc. is redeveloping the JC Penney warehouse site located at 8100 Bedford-Euless Road into a Charter Furniture store. During building permit and remodeling permit processes it was determined that this particular tract of land was not platted. The zoning at this location is C-2 Commercial. The site contains approximately 1.4 acres of land and is adjacent to commercial zoning. Directly to the north of this location is the Richland Oaks Addition residential development. The issues associated with this preliminary plat are as follows: 1. Drainage Analysis: Preliminary drainage analysis will be required by the Public Works Department during the final platting process. 2. Fire Hydrants: There may be a need for additional fire protection at this location. The applicant has yet to provide the necessary information in order for Public Works to come to that determination. 3. Driveway Spacing: Due to minimum driveway spacing allowed on major collectors, only one drive approach will be allowed for this site. 4. Sidewalks: The applicant has been advised that sidewalks are required adjacent to all public streets. However, the applicant is requesting a waiver of the sidewalk requirement because there are no existing sidewalks on any of the adjoining properties. 5. Street Improvements: The applicant has been advised that curb and gutter may need to be improved along the site. The applicant has verified that the gutter is existing and that they will be constructing a curb to satisfy City requirements. 6. Streetlights: The applicant has been advised that streetlights are a requirement and that one (1) will need to be installed. The applicant is requesting a waiver of that requirement. This preliminary plat is in conformance with the currently adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City of NRH. _______________________________ PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE: Barry LeBaron, AICP Planning & Zoning Commission: 3/12/98 Director, Planning & Inspection Services City Council: N/A CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET MARCH 12, 1998 PZ 97-47 Consider amending recommendation to City Council regarding proposed HUD Code Manufactured Housing Ordinance. Ordinance No. 2274 At the February 26, 1998 P & Z meeting, you approved a recommendation to the City Council regarding the proposed HUD Code Manufactured Housing ordinance. Shortly after that meeting, staff obtained additional information regarding the usual manner in which these structures are situated on a lot. Most mobile home parks use the narrow frontage along the street with the greater dimension representing the lot depth. To accomplish this staff is suggesting that the lot width and lot depth be reversed. _______________________________ PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE: Barry LeBaron, AICP Planning & Zoning Commission: 3/12/98 Director, Planning & Inspection Services City Council: 3/23/98
