Applicant, Brenton Hite with PBK Architects, 14001 Dallas Parkway, Dallas, TX
presented the request.
Mr. Husband provided details about the request.
Barbara Gallagher, 6912 Shauna Dr, spoke in opposition to marquis signs in
residential neighborhoods.
Cliff Hurst, 6732 Shauna Drive, expressed his concern for the placement of the new
school building, particularly the height of the wall along Shauna Drive.
Cynthia Maine, 6741 Karen Drive, is concerned about a marquis sign and asked that
if a sign was approved that it be located along Rufe Snow Drive.
Chairman Randall Shiflet closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Don Bowen motioned to approve ZC 2016-20, seconded by
Commissioner Steven Cooper.
Commissioner Bowen said that this request is just for zoning, but he would like for
staff to explain the type of signage that is being requested and the allowable
dimensions.
Mr. Husband explained that monument signs that are a maximum of seven feet tall are
permitted in the zoning category. Additionally, the sign area is limited to 75 square
feet and total structure area is limited to 100 square feet. A pole sign is not being
requested.
Commissioner Bowen asked if this will be a digital sign.
Mr. Husband explained that any digital portion of the sign may only take up two-thirds
of the total sign area.
Commissioner Mike Benton asked if the city or school district determines the location
of the sign.
Mr. Husband replied that it is generally up to the property owner as long as the
chosen location meets the setback, height, and sight visibility requirements.

Commissioner Benton questioned if the applicant would be open to moving the sign to
another location.
Mr. Husband stated that he has not had discussions with the applicant about the sign.
Chairman Shiflet asked if the city sign regulations regarding brightness apply in this
case.
Mr. Husband replied that the regulations limit the electronic portion of signs to a low
intensity amber lighting that must not flash, blink, scroll or display animation. The best
example is the electronic message board sign at Fort Worth Christian School.
Commissioner Mark Haynes asked if there is a way to stipulate anything regarding
the sign as a part of the zoning change.
Mr. Husband replied that the sign code is separate from the zoning code.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MEMORANDUM
FROM: The Office of the City Manager DATE: February 2, 2017
SUBJECT: ZC 2016-08 Public Hearing and consideration of a request from
Torino, LLC for a Zoning Change from AG Agricultural and R-1
Single Family to R-2 Single Family for a portion of property located at
7509 Chapman Road.
PRESENTER: Clayton Comstock, Planning Manager
SUMMARY:
Torino, LLC is requesting a zoning change from AG Agricultural and R-1 Single Family
Residential to R-2 Single Family Residential on approximately 3.108 acres located at
7509 Chapman Road.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The applicant is requesting a zoning change on a portion a 4.53-acre tract of land with
the intent to develop the property as a single-family residential subdivision. The property
is located at the northeast corner of Chapman Road and Meadow Road, across from
the intersection of Holiday Lane.
Over the course of the past year, the Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed
multiple submittals by the applicant. The DRC recommended that the applicant consider
a Planned Development zoning district to address specific setbacks, fencing,
landscaping, and access constraints. In addition, the DRC strongly encouraged the
applicant to meet with the property owners in the Meadow Road area to discuss the
proposal before it was considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City
Council. The applicant has requested, however, that the latest proposal be placed on an
agenda for consideration and action.
The property is currently split between the R-1 Single Family Residential and AG
Agricultural zoning districts. The portion of the property zoned R-1 has frontage on
Meadow Road. The applicant proposes to rezone the entire Agricultural portion of the
property and narrow strip of the R-1 Single Family Residential portion to the R-2 Single
Family Residential district (see Figure 1 below). A proposed 9-lot preliminary plat is an
associated item on the February 2, 2017, agenda.

Figure 1.Proposed preliminary plat lot layout overlaid on
zoning map.
The DRC's recommendation for denial of the zoning change is based largely on two
factors. First, the proposed rezoning of the R-1 portion of the property to R-2 is mostly
for adding one additional lot to the proposed development. Second, once the property is
rezoned to the R-2 district, there is no guarantee that the property would develop as
proposed by the preliminary plat. A different plat requesting smaller lots that met the R-2
district standards could be submitted under separate application in the future. This is
why the Development Review Committee has recommended a Planned Development
zoning district.
Estate Lots
In 2014, the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission held work sessions to
discuss the applicability of estate lots and the R-1-S zoning district in certain areas of
the city. Estate lots were viewed as a desired market niche for North Richland Hills as
land and house values are typically higher than average. The direction from those
discussions was to review zoning cases with the following general policy guidance:
• Allow R-1-S zoning in the Little Ranch Road/Meadow Creek Road and
Continental Trail/Valley Drive areas
• Discourage R-2 zoning within the estate areas
• Discourage R-1-S zoning outside the estate areas
• Incorporate these policies into a future Comprehensive Plan update
The map below shows the Little Ranch Road/Meadow Creek Road estate lot area. The
property under consideration is located in the southeast corner of the area. While it is
outside of the core area of Little Ranch Road and Meadow Creek Road, the property is
in an area where the R-1-S zoning district is considered appropriate.

PUBLIC COMMENTS ATTACHED: Letters from area property owners in opposition to
the proposed rezoning have been attached for review.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan classifies this area as "Low
Density Residential." This designation provides areas for the development of traditional,
low-density single-family detached dwelling units.
CURRENT ZONING: The property is currently zoned AG Agricultural and R-1 Single
Family Residential.
PROPOSED ZONING: The proposed zoning is R-2 Single Family Residential. This
district is intended to provide areas for low-density development of single-family
detached dwelling units that are constructed at an approximate density of 4.0 units per
acre.
SURROUNDING ZONING I LAND USE:
North: R-1-S Special Single-Family Residential I Low Density Residential
West: R-1 Single-Family Residential Low Density Residential
South: R-2 Single-Family Residential Low Density Residential
East: R-2 Single-Family Residential Low Density Residential
PLAT STATUS: The property is currently unplatted. A preliminary plat of this property
is an associated item on the February 2, 2017, agenda.

CITY COUNCIL: The City Council will consider this request at the February 13, 2017,
meeting following a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Re: Proposed rezoning and development at Chapman and Meadow
Dear Mr. Comstock:
I am writing to you, our elected officials, and the Planning and Zoning Commission as a
resident of North Richland Hills, not as an attorney. As we have discussed, I live at 6724
Meadow Road, which is the second house to the north from the intersection of Chapman
and Meadow, on the east side of the street. I am writing to formally oppose the
development of the property at the corner of Chapman and Meadow into multiple lots
that are grossly inconsistent with the preservation of the neighborhood's rural character.
I must begin by thanking you for facilitating meetings in which my neighbors and I
attempted to communicate to the developer the importance of preserving the rural
character of our neighborhood. Despite our best efforts to seek common ground, Mr.
Flynn reneged on his commitment to return with a compromise plan and terminated our
communication. Now, after a lengthy period of silence, and without notice to my
neighbors or me, he has proposed an aggressive zoning change and development plan that
has been strongly opposed in our meetings.
You may recall that two years ago, the Planning and Zoning Commission rejected
another proposal and established a commitment to preservation of rural areas of the city,
including the area north of Chapman Road that includes lots on Meadow Road. Informal
comments were made in the public meeting that Chapman Road, and not this particular
lot, would continue to serve as the transitional boundary between neighborhood zoning to
the south and the rural area along Meadow and adjacent streets that was to be preserved.

My neighbors and I reiterate strong opposition to the currently proposed development, in
part for the following reasons:
1. The density of the development will change the character of the neighborhood,
initially reducing and ultimately eliminating the atmosphere for which we
purchased our properties and accommodated the City's recent demands when
building and improving our homes.
a. Even the neighborhoods to the east and farther to the west are single-story
homes that do not impair views, as contrasted with sky-blocking clusters
of multi-story homes.
b. If the City abandons the neighborhood to random exploitation such as this,
no homeowner will be safe from potential overdevelopment of an
adjoining tract.
c. Home values will be negatively impacted as non-resident property owners
build additional high-density projects) that rob existing rural lots of
crucial spacing and sightlines.
2. Property in rural preservation areas that are currently zoned as agricultural
land should only be developed under the R-1-S standard, which the Code of
Ordinances specifically identifies as the zoning provided by the City for rural
areas.
a. Per Section 118-331(b) - 11R-1-S district. The R-1-S single-family
residential district is intended to provide areas for very low density
development of single-family detached dwelling units which are
constructed at an approximate density of one unit per acre in a quasirural
setting. The R-1-S district is specifically planned to allow for the keeping
of livestock in a residential setting."
3. Allowing 9 or even fewer homes on lot sizes under R-2 or modified R-2
residential standards would be in stark contrast to the City's demands that were
imposed upon my family and my neighbors.
a. My neighbors to the south, the Longs, added onto their home at great
expense in order to care for their parents who suffer from Alzheimer's
disease.
b. My neighbors to the north, the Whittens, just completed the platting/re-
zoning process in order to add on to their recently purchased house.
c. My neighbors to the north of the Whittens, the Shavers, who live in a
multi-generational rural family home on North Forty in the same rural area
we seek to protect, have been enduring an exhaustive platting process in
order to build their future home on a large rural lot.
d. My family was told at the time we built our home that the City wanted to
perpetuate the low density and "country" atmosphere of the neighborhood.
4. We have also discussed concerns regarding traffic, drainage, and the visual
impact of towering multi-story homes that are in contrast to the single-story

homes in the residential development to the east and that are the majority along
Meadow Road.
The proposed development contradicts the City's long-term plans as we have always
understood it and defies the platting and zoning imposed an neighboring properties. It is
bad public policy to use the City's power to allow destruction of the rural character of our
neighborhood by altering the most heavily used entrance and starting what will inevitably
be a chain reaction triggered by this precedent. The damage will be the same whether the
development is the currently proposed 9 lots or a slightly reduced number. The City has
no obligation to protect Mr. Flynn from his failure to consider the rural nature of the
property before committing to a development scheme.
The City may desire that certain areas in Smithfield be converted from vacant lots or low-
density residential housing to relatively high-density housing that will take advantage of
the upcoming transportation infrastructure. The excitement for the economic impact of
the enhanced transportation system and the profits of developers cannot be permitted to
overwhelm the distinctiveness of our Waal neighborhoods and diversity of housing
Choices.
Thank you for your consideration and your service to the community.
Best re Yards,
John J. Cope

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MEMORANDUM
FROM: The Office of the City Manager DATE: February 2, 2017
SUBJECT: PP 2016-03 Consideration of a request from Torino, LLC for a
Preliminary Plat of Tivoli Garden Estates on 4.5329 acres located at
7509 Chapman Road.
PRESENTER: Clayton Comstock, Planning Manager
SUMMARY:
Torino, LLC is requesting approval of a Preliminary Plat of Tivoli Garden Estates. This
4.5329-acre subdivision is located at the northeast corner of Chapman Road and
Meadow Road.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The preliminary plat for Tivoli Garden Estates includes nine single-family residential lots.
The lots range in size from 13,007 to 21,825 square feet, with an average lot size of
18,610 square feet. The lots comply with the R-1 and proposed R-2 Single-Family
Residential zoning district standards. A request to rezone a portion of the property to R-
2 Single-Family Residential is an associated item on the February 2, 2017, agenda.
The proposed preliminary plat includes three lots facing Meadow Road and six lots
facing Chapman Road. The lots on Meadow Road are about 13,000 square feet in area,
97 feet wide, and 135 feet deep. These lots are zoned R-1 Single Family Residential
and meet the standards for the R-1 district. The lots facing Chapman Road average
21,296 square feet (0.49 acres) in area, and are 72.5 feet wide by 292 feet deep. These
lots are proposed to be zoned R-2 Single Family Residential, and as shown would meet
the standards of the R-2 districts. In addition, the lots on Chapman Road would share a
slip-street driveway at the far west and east ends of the development.
The number of lots proposed by this preliminary plat are reliant on the approval of the
proposed R-2 Single Family zoning on approximately 3 of the 4.5 acres. Because the
Development Review Committee is recommending denial of the zoning change, it is
also recommending denial of the preliminary plat.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan classifies this area as "Low
Density Residential." This designation provides areas for the development of traditional,
low-density single-family detached dwelling units.
IqRH
THOROUGHFARE PLAN: The development has frontage on Chapman Road and
Meadow Road. Both roads are classified as a C41_1 Major Collector roadway. A C41_1
roadway a four-lane undivided street with an ultimate right-of-way width of 68 feet. The
plat includes planned right-of-way dedication for both streets. Actual right-of-way
dedication would occur with any future final plat.
CURRENT ZONING: The property is currently zoned R-1 Single-Family Residential and
AG Agricultural. A request to rezone a portion of the property to R-2 Single-Family
Residential is an associated item on the February 2, 2017, agenda.
SURROUNDING ZONING I LAND USE:
North: R-1-S Special Single-Family Residential I Low Density Residential
West: R-1 Single-Family Residential Low Density Residential
South: R-2 Single-Family Residential Low Density Residential
East: R-2 Single-Family Residential Low Density Residential
PLAT STATUS: The property is currently unplatted.
RECOMMENDATION:
Deny PP 2016-03.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MEMORANDUM
FROM: The Office of the City Manager DATE: February 2, 2017
SUBJECT: TR 2017-01 Public Hearing to consider amendments to Section 118-
631 , Table of Permitted Uses, of the North Richland Hills Zoning
Ordinance regarding quick service restaurants.
PRESENTER: Clayton Husband, Principal Planner
SUMMARY:
A revision is proposed to the Zoning Ordinance related to Section 118-631 Table of
Permitted Uses. The revision would require that quick service restaurants be approved
by special use permit in the C-2 Commercial and OC Outdoor Commercial zoning
district.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
On November 9, 2015, City Council approved Ordinance No. 3382, which made several
amendments to the zoning ordinance related to restaurants and drive-through service.
As part of these amendments, three new land use types for restaurants were added to
the land use tables. These include full service restaurant, fast casual restaurant, and
quick service restaurant. The uses are allowed either by right or by special use permit in
the individual zoning districts.
The 2013 NRH Citizen Survey indicated that NRH residents desire more full-service
restaurants and grocery stores over fast food establishments. When asked whether they
would like to see more of each, 80 percent of respondents replied "yes" for full-service
restaurants, while only 30 percent replied "yes" for drive-through restaurants. In the time
since the survey, however, fast casual and quick service restaurants continue to
develop at faster pace than full-service restaurants, and many vacant pad sites are still
available for development.
Quick service restaurants are currently permitted by right in the C-2 Commercial and
OC Outdoor Commercial districts, and by special use permit in all other non-residential
zoning districts. To ensure that quick service restaurants are appropriately located
within the community and compatible with the neighborhood context, the following text
revision is proposed.
IqRH
The revision would amend Section 118-631 Table of Permitted Uses to require a special
use permit for a quick service restaurant in the C-2 Commercial, Outdoor Commercial
and Town Center zoning districts. The revised land use table would read as follows. For
clarity, other uses and the residential districts are not shown.

Text revisions such as these are considered periodically to ensure that the zoning code
is aligned with City goals and policies, is current with technology and industry changes,
and that vague or unclear language is eliminated.
CITY COUNCIL: The City Council will consider this request at the February 13, 2017,
meeting following a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve TR 2017-01 .
