PRESENTER: Clayton Comstock, Planning Director SUMMARY: On behalf of 7625 Glenview Drive TX LLC, Jo-Jo Curtis is requesting approval of an amended plat of Lots 7R1 and 7R2, Block A, Calloway Farm Addition.

The lot is developed as a nursing facility (, „Il,ca,Ir ii,ca, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,2,IIII„! ca, ,,,,,,. in. d..........1::::Zelr]a ). The property was recently replatted into two lots, and the plat recorded in December 2020. Following its recording, it was discovered that a lot number reference in the owner's dedication statement was incorrect. An amended plat was submitted to correct the error. The amended plat would make the following revisions to the previous plat. 1. Correct the lot number reference in the owner's dedication statement to reflect the current lot designations. 2. Add a standard plat note stating the purpose for the amended plat. The plat does not alter or remove any recorded covenants or restrictions, if any, on the property. LAND USE PLAN: This area is designated on the Land Use Plan as Office Commercial. This designation encourages professional, medical, and administrative offices as well as limited commercial service establishments that benefit adjacent and nearby residential area. CURRENT ZONING: The property is currently zoned NR-PD (Nonresidential Planned Development). A zoning change to C-1 (Commercial) was approved by City Council on October 1, 2020, to accommodate the subdivision of the property into two lots. TRANSPORTATION PLAN: The development has frontage on the following streets. Right-of-way dedication for Glenview Drive and Booth Calloway Road may be required for this plat depending on the width of the existing rights-of-way.

PRESENTER: Clayton Comstock, Planning Director SUMMARY: Revisions are proposed to the zoning ordinance related to Article VI (Parking and loading regulations). The revisions would add language to allow for the use of alternative parking surface materials for public property within a floodplain. This revision would allow for the immediate use of the Fossil Creek Park Mountain Bike/Hiking Trails currently under construction. You can find out more about the project Q,i2,Il,ii„i e 1r]e..irca,. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Many public parks utilize floodplain corridors for passive recreation activities such as walking, hiking, biking, and nature watching. Convenient vehicle parking for these passive recreational activities may be necessary to expand access to the community. However, paved surfaces are not permitted or encouraged in floodplain areas. The use of permeable parking surfaces may help reestablish a natural hydrologic balance and reduce runoff volume by trapping and slowly releasing precipitation into the ground instead of allowing it to flow into storm drains and out to receiving waters as effluent. This same process also reduces the peak rates of discharge by preventing large, fast pulses of precipitation through the stormwater system. Permeable parking surfaces can reduce the concentration of some pollutants. By slowing down the process, permeable parking surfaces can cool down the temperature of urban runoff, reducing the stress and impact on the stream or lake environment. The proposed text amendment to the zoning ordinance is below. The language in Chapter 118, Section 118-831(f) (Minimum parking requirements) is modified to add the following text. "I r*4W NOLa`C`H KIC"HLAND HILLS Sec. 118-831.— Minimum parking requirements. (f) Development standards. (11)Exception for city-owned property within floodplain. Parking,driving, and maneuvering areas located on city-owned property within a FEMA-designated floodplain zone and used for passive open space recreation may be constructed of permeable parking surfaces such as permeable asphalt, permeable concrete, permeable pavers, or flexible base. Flexible base must meet minimum testing standards established by the Texas Department of Transportation and be approved by the City Engineer. The approval of this revision would allow a small flex-base parking lot area to be installed within the floodplain of Fossil Creek off of Onyx Drive for the new „If ,iillI ,Qirca,eIk ,ll,;', irlh iiil ......II".m.lilca II ,IIiiliii ,q 11 irii„III. This type of parking surface is commonly used in floodplains and for hiking and biking trailheads. The NRH Parks Department will be making a brief presentation on the trail project and will be available for any questions at the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting. CITY COUNCIL: The City Council will consider this request at the January 25, 2021, meeting following a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission. RECOMMENDATION: Approve TR 2021-01.
