Mayor Trevino opened the public hearing and called on Director of Planning Clayton
Comstock to introduce the item.
Mr. Comstock informed Council text revisions to the City's Code are generally proposed

ordinance. Pursuant to Section 118-126, the applicant is requesting consideration of the
proposed use. The text revision before Council this evening is for the entire city and not
specific to one business or property.

Suite 600, Dallas, Texas presented request. Mr. Dahlstrom commented they were
directed by staff to draft conditions that would be attached to the use. He commented
they are seeking a use that is allowed by right. During the review by staff and the
Planning and Zoning Commission, the conditions were attached to a special use permit.
They are seeking a change to the hours of operations and propose Monday-Saturday,
6:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Mr. Dahlstrom introduced Jeff
Tarris with JCW Development to discuss the plasma facilities.
Mr. Tarris, 100 Tower Drive, Beaver Dam, WI informed Council BioLife operates over
100 centers across the country. The centers stay in their community a minimum of ten
years. The facilities are safe, provide ample parking, do not carry cash, and utilize

utilized to treat serious disorders and traumatic injuries. On average, BioLife centers
employ 50-80 employees. The remodel cost for this site is approximately 3 to 3.5 million.
He reviewed economic benefits related to the facility.

In response to Council member Welch's question, Mr. Tarris informed Council a donor is
allowed to donate several times a month, but no more than twice a week.

proposed use did not meet the definition of medical office use. The determination was
made that it was not a permitted use in North Richland Hills. Staff worked with applicant
to arrive at a definition for a blood plasma collection facility. Staff proposes, and the
Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the use for a blood plasma collection
facility with a special use permit in zoning districts C-1, C-2, I-1, and 1-2. The Planning

property is located in relation to the proposed replat and addition of the new street

ordinance to require a fence in this particular instance. The homeowner and developer
could work together to address homeowner's concern.
Mayor Trevino asked Mr. Wilson if the developer would be willing to work with the
homeowner. Mr. Wilson informed Council the original purpose of the open space lot was
to install a decorative metal fence. Staff advised them that a decorative metal fence could
not be installed in the right-of-way. Mayor Trevino asked if developer would be willing to
work with the homeowner to place fence on side property line. The City Council can not
require the fence, but the developer and homeowner can hopefully work something out.
