PRESENTER: Clayton Comstock, Planning Manager SUMMARY: Arcadia Land Partners is requesting a Special Use Permit for retention pond associated with the final plat of HomeTown Canal District Phase 5A. The property is located east of the lakes on the south side of Ice House Drive and west of Bridge Street. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting approval of a Special Use Permit to authorize the use of a retention pond on the site. Section 118-729 of the Zoning chapter and Section 102-124 of the Floods and Stormwater Management chapter of the Code of Ordinances establish the requirements and standards for the Special Use Permit. The use of all detention or retention ponds requires approval of a Special Use Permit. Detention Pond City codes allow for detention ponds if the proposed development is discharging stormwater into a developed downstream system that does not have the capacity to handle the runoff. During the evaluation of the site and the existing conditions of the area, the applicant concluded that a detention pond would be necessary to accommodate development of the site. In addition to its function as drainage infrastructure, the retention pond would create a water feature in the Canal District. The primary pond would be located in the northeast area of the development, which would drain to the lakes through a canal with a system of weirs designed to generate a cascading water flow. The primary pond is designed to have an average water depth of 7-8 feet, and the canal a water depth of 2 feet. The water depth and flow would be regulated by a water pump recirculating system that connects to the lakes. IgFkH NORTH RICHLAND HILLS The canal portion of the system is located between two rows of lots on Montreal Mews and Morris Mews. Essentially, the lots front on the canal. A pedestrian bridge would cross the canal near the middle of block. The bridge connects to a series of open space lots that link two small parks in the Canal District phases. Landscaping Zoning standards require that all retention ponds be landscaped. A conceptual landscape plan was provided by the applicant. A formal landscape plan for the open space and canal area must be reviewed and approved by the Development Review Committee (DRC) before final acceptance of the public infrastructure in Phase 5A. Concern was raised with the applicant regarding the proliferation of Typha (cattail plants) in the existing HomeTown lakes and whether the same issue would be experienced along the canal. As part of the Watercourse Maintenance and Developer Agreement, the developer and/or HOA would be responsible for removing any wetland plants that inhibit proper flow and circulation of the pond and canal sections. Maintenance The property owner is responsible for the maintenance of the pond and all associated landscaping. A formal maintenance agreement will be executed as part of the approval of the special use permit. Generally, the agreement will require the owner to mow and maintain all grass and landscaping, remove trash and debris once a week, remove silt from the basin or outlet structures as necessary, and repair any decorative fencing. The agreement runs with the property and applies to any future owner or user. Special Use Permit The zoning ordinance provides that special use permits may establish reasonable conditions of approval on the operation and location of the use to reduce its effect on adjacent or surrounding properties. The ordinance also includes specific criteria for detention and retention ponds, for which slight deviations are recommended due to the functional nature and location of the pond on the site. The following are the proposed conditions of approval for this SUP application. 1 . Permitted use. A special use permit is authorized for a retention pond. 2. Engineering approval. Construction of the retention pond is subject to final approval of the engineering plans (including safety measures) by the Development Review Committee and City Engineer. 3. Landscaping. The retention pond must be landscaped in accordance with Chapter 114 — Vegetation of the Code of Ordinances and the Town Center Zoning District. The landscape plan is subject to final approval by the Development Review Committee and Town Center Architect. 4. Retention pond criteria. The following design criteria apply to the retention pond: 1gFkH NORTH RICHLAND HILLS a) Pond outlet structures shall be located at least 50 feet from a property line. b) Retention basin side slopes shall be 4H:1V below normal pool depth and 5H:1V above. c) The minimum depth of the retention basin shall be four feet from the normal pool elevation to the bottom between the toe of slopes. The maximum depth of a retention basin shall be no greater than ten feet. 5. Maintenance agreement. The owner must execute a detention/retention storage facility maintenance agreement in conjunction with the approval of the subdivision plat for the property. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan classifies this area as "Town Center." This designation relates to the Town Center zoning district, which establishes development standards to promote a sustainable, high quality, mixed-use development. Each subzone provides a gradient of development and use intensity. The components of each subzone — buildings, streets, and public spaces — are scaled to create and sustain an integrated living environment. CURRENT ZONING: The property is currently zoned TC Town Center. PROPOSED ZONING: The applicant is requesting a special use permit for a retention pond in the HomeTown Canal District. SURROUNDING ZONING I LAND USE: North: TC Town Center Town Center West: TC Town Center Town Center South: TC Town Center Town Center East: TC Town Center Town Center PLAT STATUS: The property is currently unplatted. A final plat of HomeTown Canal District Phase 5A is scheduled for the March 6, 2017, City Council meeting agenda.

PRESENTER: Clayton Comstock, Planning Manager SUMMARY: A revision is proposed to the Zoning Ordinance related to Section 118-472 Town Center Density Restrictions. The revisions would reduce the maximum number of townhomes that would be allowed in Tracts 3A and 313 of the Town Center zoning district. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: In 2014, an amendment to Section 118-472 reduced the maximum number of townhomes allowed in Tracts 3A and 313 of the Town Center zoning district from 120 to 94 townhomes. This corresponds to a 25-acre tract in the Hometown development. This revision was the result of new development changes that allowed for more single-family 4 H cottage Tots in the Canal District east of the Takes. i The proposed amendment would further reduce the maximum number of townhomes allowed from 94 to 73 townhomes. This is based on City Council's approval of a special use permit for 22 single-family cottage lots in Hometown Canal District Phase 5A on February 13, 2017. A letter from Arcadia Land Partners acknowledging this revision is attached. CITY COUNCIL: The City Council will consider this request at the March 6, 2017, meeting following a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission. RECOMMENDATION: Approve TR 2017-03. A R C A D I A October 17th, 2016 Mr. Clayton Comstock Planning Manager City of North Richland Hills 4301 City Point Drive North Richland Hills, TX 76180 RE: HomeTown Phase 5: Casita SUP Dear Clayton: I am writing to confirm Arcadia's agreement to reduce the maximum number of Town Homes allowed under our zoning on Tracts 3A & 3B from 94 to 73 units. This will reflect our conversion of attached Town Home lots to 22 detached Casita lots in Phase 5 of HomeTown. Thank you for your Assistance, r , Katherine L.

PRESENTER: Clayton Husband, Principal Planner SUMMARY: Revision is proposed to the Zoning Ordinance related to Section 118-1 Definitions, and Section 118-631 Table of Permitted Uses. The revisions would add definitions for massage establishment, acupuncture clinic, and reflexology clinic/foot spa, and assign these uses as permitted by right or by special use permit in various zoning districts. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: In 2016, an interdepartmental task force began discussing the rise in the number of massage establishments in the city. Through these discussions, the task force identified the need for possible revisions to the standards and regulations contained in Chapter 18 (Businesses) and Chapter 118 (Zoning) of the Code of Ordinances as they relate to massage establishments. The existing business regulations were created in the 1970s and do not reflect current industry standards and practices. An updated set of procedures and standards will be considered by City Council on March 27, 2017. This update also includes consideration of proposed revisions to the zoning regulations as they relate to a massage establishment, acupuncture clinic, and reflexology clinic/foot spa. 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. The proposed revisions are described in detail below. IqRH Section 118-1 Definitions The uses under consideration are not currently defined in the zoning ordinance. New definitions are proposed for each use to differentiate clearly among each land use type. • Massage establishment means a place of business that advertises or offers massage therapy or other massage services as defined herein and is licensed by the state of Texas in accordance with Chapter 455 of the Texas Occupations Code, and Title 25 of the Texas Administrative Code, as amended, including establishments variously known as massage parlors, and similar derivations. This term does not include beauty parlors or barber shops duly licensed by the State, or licensed hospitals, medical clinics, or licensed physical therapy facilities. • Acupuncture clinic means a place of business that advertises or offers acupuncture and is licensed by the Texas State Board of Acupuncture Examiners in accordance with Chapter 205 of the Texas Occupations Code, as amended. • Reflexology clinic/foot spa means a place of business that advertises or offers reflexology services associated with the application of pressure with thumb and finger techniques to reflexive areas of the lower one-third of the extremities, feet, hands, and outer ears based on reflex maps. Section 118-631 Table of Permitted Uses Currently, the table of permitted uses treats massage therapy and acupuncture clinic as a similar land use type. The proposed revisions would separate the two uses and change the name massage therapy to massage establishment, which is the name used in state licensing standards. A massage establishment would remain permitted by right in the C-1 and C-2 zoning districts, and require approval of a special use permit in the 0-1 and LR districts. The remaining uses would be grouped as a similar land use type. These uses would require approval of a special use permit in the districts noted above. The existing and proposed land use tables are shown below. For clarity, other uses and the residential districts are not shown.

IqRH PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEMORANDUM FROM: The Office of the City Manager DATE: March 2, 2017 SUBJECT: RP 2017-01 Consideration of a request from Jason and Joy Lee for a Replat of Sunnybrook Addition, Block 1 , Lot 6, on 0.687 acres located at 8509 Cardinal Lane. PRESENTER: Clayton Husband, Principal Planner SUMMARY: Jason and Joy Lee are requesting approval of a replat of Lot 6, Block 1 , Sunnybrook Addition. The purpose of this replat is to establish the current property boundary for the construction of a new single-family residence. The plat is complete and meets the requirements of the zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The final plat for Sunnybrook Addition was approved in 1964. The plat included five residential lots and a large tract (Tract A) reserved for future development. Since that time, Tract A has been divided by replat and several times by metes and bounds. When divided by metes and bounds, those portions were sold to other lot owners on Sunnybrook Drive and Martin Drive. The property under consideration, which is a remainder portion of Tract A, is located on the north side of Cardinal Lane between Sunnybrook Drive and Martin Drive and adjacent to the concrete Walker Creek channel. The owners of the property (proposed Lot 6) have submitted a replat in order to formally establish the lot by plat and accommodate the construction of a house on the property. The replat would create one residential lot that is 29,925 square feet (0.687 acres) in area. The lot has 133.74 feet of frontage on Cardinal Lane and averages 210 feet in depth. A sidewalk easement will be dedicated at the southwest corner to provide for a future sidewalk on the north side of the street. A lot is affected by a 345-square-foot area of flood plain at the southeast corner of the lot. The lot satisfies the requirements of the R-1 Single Family Residential zoning district. As required by Section 212.015 of the Texas Local Government Code and Section 110- 219 of the subdivision regulations, this replat will require a public hearing when the plat is considered by the City Council. Since the property is zoned for single-family IqRH residential uses, the public hearing will include notification of all property owners within 200 feet of the lot boundary that are within the Sunnybrook Addition. 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 R-1 Single Family Residential. SURROUNDING ZONING I LAND USE: North: R-1 Single Family Residential Low Density Residential West: R-1 Single Family Residential Low Density Residential South: C-1 Commercial I Retail East: U School, Church, and Institutional I Public/Semi-Public PLAT STATUS: The property is currently platted as part of Tract A, Block 1, Sunnybrook Addition. CITY COUNCIL: The City Council will consider this request at the March 27, 2017, meeting following a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
