CA ZC 2019-05, ORDINANCE NO. 3582, PUBLIC HEARING AND
CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM GINGER CURTIS FOR A ZONING
CHANGE FOR AN EVENT CENTER AT 8300 STARNES ROAD, BEING 0.543
ACRES DESCRIBED AS LOT AR2, BLOCK 2, CRESTWOOD ESTATES
ADDITION.
CONTINUED
Mayor Trevino opened the public hearing and called on Director of Planning Clayton
Comstock to introduce the item.
Mr. Comstock informed Council the applicant is requesting a zoning change for 0.543
acres located at 8300 Starnes Road. The request is to amend a previously approved
planned development district (PD-88) to allow for an event center. Mr. Comstock
presented site photos of the property. The City of North Richland Hills sold the property
to Urbanology Designs in August 2017. The City Council, at their February 12, 2018
meeting, considered and approved a zoning change from C-1 commercial to RD-PD
redevelopment planned development for 0-1 office uses. Mr. Comstock presented site
photos of the property. The area is designated on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as
retail and the current zoning is RD-PD redevelopment planned development with a base
zoning district of 0-1 office.
Applicant representative Ginger Curtis, 8300 Starnes and Eric Morgan (no address
provided) presented the request. Ms. Curtis provided City Council with documentation
from adjacent neighbors and businesses supporting her request. Ms. Curtis informed
City Council she purchased the old fire station to accommodate the growth for her design
firm. She provided photos of the renovated fire station. A loft was constructed in the
space, which offices Urbanology Designs. The former fireman rooms are now executive
private co-working offices that are used by other entrepreneurs. The primary use of the
building is office space for approximately 50-55 hours a week. She informed City
Council the concept of using the building for small boutique events was based on the
100% increase in costs to renovate the building. Instead of selling the building or giving
up on project, she looked for alternative ways to utilize existing space. The engine room
had ample space for small boutique events that could serve as an additional revenue
stream. She researched and found the need for such a use is needed in the area. She
informed City Council that she was not aware this type of use required a zoning change.
She commented that she was approached by the city to rezone the property. The city

asked, and she complied, to include a fire alarm system, a landing and to change doors.
Ms. Curtis informed City Council the event space will serve as a secondary use and
anticipates the space will be used 16-18 hours per week. She reviewed the types of
events that could be held in the engine room. The average inquiry group size is 30-60
people. She informed City Council they could comfortably accommodate 100 people
and would like the ability to book those type of events. She reviewed event times, which
will vary based on type of event, but no event will go past midnight. Ms. Curtis informed
City Council all applicants are vetted by Urbanology staff and there will always be 1-3
Urbanology employees at each event. Ms. Curtis informed City Council events would be
allowed to play music and will comply with the city's residential standard of 60 decibels.
The music will not be allowed past 10:00 p.m. She reviewed the parking arrangements
with Sunshine House Daycare (20 spaces), Dryclean Supercenter (18 spaces) and
Gateway Church. She informed City Council she has letters of support from 29
neighbors, Gateway Church, Sunshine House Daycare and Dryclean Supercenter.
City Council and applicant discussed the following: parking for patrons, off-site parking
arrangements, safety of patrons crossing Starnes (if parked at Gateway Church),
patrons parking on adjacent neighborhood streets, requirement of a police officer to
navigate traffic and number of police officers required based on occupancy and start
time for events, sufficient handicap parking, applicant providing valet service, ease of
access for patrons traversing from adjacent daycare or drycleaners to Urbanology.
Mr. Comstock presented staffs report. The applicant is requesting an amendment to an
approved redevelopment planned development. The existing use for the building is office.
Mr. Comstock informed City Council the ordinance does not include, but would be a
recommendation of the Development Review Committee, to maintain primary use for the
property as office. Should the office use vacate the building, the event center use would
not be allowed as a stand alone use. Mr. Comstock informed City Council after
Urbanology Design received their certificate of occupancy, in March of this year it was
brought to staffs attention the property was being advertised and used as an event
center. An event center is not an allowed use in the current zoning and the event center
use requires a special use permit. The city was not approached during the planning of
Urbanology's event center to address any building code requirements, such as parking
or noise for an event center use. The property owner was given notice to stop holding
events and apply for a zoning change. The property was inspected by the chief building
official and fire marshal. Ms. Curtis was provided a list of items to bring the building in
compliance with approved city codes for an event center use. City staff extended Ms.
Curtis the ability to host five events that were already scheduled through June 5, 2019.
Mr. Comstock informed City Council the conditions for the site development include:
retaining the previous RD-PD standards and regulations; addition of event center as
permitted use; and requires construction of paved driveway or pedestrian connection at
southeast corner of site. The operation standards include: events must end by midnight;
May 13, 2019
City Council Meeting Minutes

events are limited to 50 guests (opposed by applicant); formal use of outdoor spaces for
event is prohibited (opposed by applicant); guests may not congregate or assemble in
outdoor area in front of building during an event; formal shared parking agreement with
property owners south of Starnes Road must be recorded and maintained; and parking
agreement must stipulate at least 40 parking spaces would be available for guest parking.
Mr. Comstock informed City Council the Development Review Committee has not had the
opportunity to discuss an off-duty police officer. It is also the recommendation of the
Development Review Committee to prohibit parking at Gateway Church. If approved, the
Development Review Committee recommends this be a trial special use permit for a
period of one or two years. At the end of the period, the applicant is required to reapply
for a special use permit. The original recommendation of the Development Review
Committee to the Planning and Zoning Commission was to approve the request. The
Planning and Zoning Commission, at their May 2, 2019 meeting, recommended approval
with a vote of 6-1. Following discussion at the Planning and Zoning Commission, the
Development Review Committee has changed their recommendation to denial.
City Council and staff discussed - maximum occupancy (40 people) for office use and
the maximum occupancy for an event center (100 or more people requires sprinkler
system), required number of handicap parking spaces for office use and event center
use and compliance with American for Disabilities Act (ADA); and police officer
presence.
Chief of Police Jimmy Perdue commented on security. He informed City Council that it
is not unreasonable to have one officer at the event. He would recommend the number of
officers required at an event be at the discretion of the Chief of Police. He also
recommends the off-duty police officers be from the City of North Richland Hills. The
police department does not support a mid-block crossing.
In response to Council member Turnage's question, City Attorney Maleshia McGinnis
advised if item is continued it must be continued to a specific date.
Mayor Trevino asked the City Secretary to call on those who completed a public meeting
appearance form to speak during the public hearing. The following people spoke in
support: Reytheda Jackson, 7128 Lancashire; Andy Oge, 7412 Park Place Drive; Dustin
