NORTH RICH'LAND- HILLS
ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MEMORANDUM
FROM: Planning & Zoning Department DATE: January 27, 2022
SUBJECT: ZBA22-0002 Public hearing and consideration of a request from
Tricia Bradford for a variance from Section 118-718(c) (permanent
accessory building regulations) of the North Richland Hills zoning
ordinance at 7554 Terry Drive, being 0.22 acres described as Lot 2,
Block 18, Holiday North Addition.
PRESENTER: Clayton Husband, Principal Planner
SUMMARY
Tricia Bradford is requesting approval of a variance to allow an existing 453-square-foot
accessory building to encroach the side and rear building lines. The property is located
at 7554 Terry Drive.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The property is located on the south side of Terry Drive, between Susan Lee Drive and
Stone Drive. The property is zoned R-2 (Single -Family Residential) and is developed with
a single-family residence constructed in 1972. The 9,882-square-foot lot is part of the
Holiday North subdivision. The lot is rectangular in shape, being 90 feet wide and ranging
from 106 to 114 feet deep. The property is owned and occupied by the applicant, who
purchased the property in August 2012.
In September 2021, the owner applied for a building permit to construct an addition to the
house. During the plan review, it was discovered that a permanent accessory building,
patio cover, and driveway paving had been constructed on the property, and that permits
had not been issued for the construction. Discussions with the owner indicated that the
construction occurred prior to her owning the property. Evaluation of aerial photographs
show that the paving and accessory building were constructed between 2007 and 2008,
and the patio cover between 2009 and 2011. In order to bring the property closer to
compliance, the owner submitted building permit applications for these improvements.
The owner submitted a building permit application for the
permanent accessory building on November 12, 2021.
During the permit review it was noted that the building
encroaches the side and rear building setbacks. Rather
than reconstruct the building to modify the size and
dimensions to comply with the standards, the owner
decided to seek a variance to authorize the structure to
remain as constructed.
'%"&w ItH
NORTH KIGH'LAND HILLS
The variance application and supporting materials are attached. The materials include a
copy of the application explaining the reasoning for the variance request and other
relevant documents. An analysis of the request and relevant codes is below.
ANALYSIS
The variance request is related to standards for permanent accessory buildings, which
are contained in Section 118-718(c) of the zoning ordinance.
The building is constructed in the southwest corner of the
property at the rear of the driveway. The building is 453-
square-feet in area, measuring 22 feet wide by 20.6 feet
deep. The building satisfies all standards for permanent
accessory buildings except for the side and rear setbacks.
Permanent accessory buildings less than 500 square feet in
size require a side setback of six (6) feet and a rear setback
of ten (10) feet. The structure under consideration
encroaches both the side (west) and rear (south) building
setback lines, as described in the table below.

FINDINGS FOR VARIANCE APPROVAL
Section 118-86(4) of the zoning ordinance authorizes the Zoning Board of Adjustment
"...to authorize upon appeal, in specific cases, such variance from the terms of [the
Zoning Ordinance] as will not be contrary to the public interest and where, because of
special conditions, the enforcement of the [Zoning Ordinance] would result in an
unnecessary hardship."
In exercising it powers to grant a variance, the board of adjustment must make specific
findings and show in its minutes that:
a. Literal enforcement of the controls will create an unnecessary hardship or practical
difficulty in the development of the affected property.
b. The situation causing the hardship or difficulty is neither self-imposed nor generally
affecting all or most properties in the same zoning district.
c. The relief sought will not injure the permitted use of adjacent conforming property.
d. The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the spirit and purposes of
these regulations.
OPTIONS FOR BOARD CONSIDERATION
The Zoning Board of Adjustment has the following options on this application.
1. Approve the variance as presented. This action would approve variances to the
side and rear building line setbacks for the structure and allow the building to
remain as constructed.
2. Approve the variance with conditions. This action would approve variances to the
side and rear building line setbacks for the structure, subject to the owner making
modifications to its size, location, or design as directed by the Board.
3. Deny the variance. This action would require the structure to be modified to
achieve compliance with the required side and rear building line setbacks.

1. List the pertinent section(s) of the zoning ordinance and indicate the specific variances being requested. If necessary, use a
separate sheet.
am requesting three zoning variances for an existing building on my property. Can you please
grant me an zoning variance on the 10 foot rear set back and the 6 foot side min yard set back, and
a variance on a 5' U. E at rear.
2. State the grounds for the request and describe any special conditions that cause hardships that, in your opinion, justify
the variance(s) being requested. Examples of special conditions are: topography, creeks, utility lines, irregular lot or tract shapes,
etc. The Zoning Board of Adjustment must determine that special conditions exist before making a motion to approve a request.
If it is determined that special conditions do not exist, the motion must be to deny the request. If necessary, use a separate
sheet.
This is a special condition because this was not a self imposed situation. I bought my house in 2012
and this building had already been constructed. Pictures of the shed were included in the listing
when I saw the property for sale on-line. This was the first time for me ever buying a house and I
assumed that when I bought the house everything on the property complied with city codes and
setback requirements. According to satellite images either the man that sold me the property or the
owner before him built the structure. I feel that approval of this variance would have no detrimental
effect on my neighbors. I'm trying to improve my house and have an addition done to make it a more
comfortable space for my family. I'm a single mom of three boys and this all started because I'm
needing an additional bedroom. I had no idea that the shed on my property was not permitted and
all I want to do now is make things right and get my property properly permitted. Thanks

3. Explain any special circumstances, if applicable, not considered by the zoning ordinance. Examples: (1) if the subdivision

necessary, use a separate sheet.

required in the discharge of their responsibilities under the laws of the State of Texas and the ordinances of the City of North
Richland Hills. The Board's jurisdiction shall extend to and include the hearing and deciding of the following topics of appeals and
applications, and to that end shall have the necessary authority to ensure continuing compliance with its decision. The Board of
Adjustment, in specific cases, may authorize or order the following:
Interpretation. Hear and decide appeals where it is alleged there is error on any order, requirement, decision, or
interpretation of the zoning regulations by the Building Official in the enforcement of this ordinance or a zoning district
boundary. In reaching its decision, the Board shall establish firm guidelines for future administrative actions on like
matters.
Permits for nonconformity. Authorize a building permit for the reconstruction, extension, or enlargement of a
building occupied by non -conforming uses, on the lot or tract occupied by such building, provided such reconstruction
does not prevent the potential return of such property to a conforming use.
Discontinuance of nonconformity. Require the discontinuance of non -conforming uses of land or structures under
any plan whereby the full value of the structure and facilities can be amortized within a definite period of time, taking into
consideration the general character of the neighborhood and the necessity of all property to conform to the regulations
of the zoning ordinance. All actions to discontinue a non -conforming use of land or structure shall be taken with due
regard to the property rights of the persons affected when considered in light of the public welfare and the character of
the area surrounding the designated non -conforming use and the conservation and preservation of the property. The

ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
Board may, from time to time on its own motion or upon cause presented by interested property owners, inquire into the
existence, continuation, or maintenance of any non -conforming use within the city.
• Variances. Authorize upon appeal, in specific cases, such variance from the terms of the zoning ordinance that are not
contrary to the public interest, and where, because of special conditions, the enforcement of the ordinance would result
in an unnecessary hardship. However, the Board shall not have the power to grant variances from the terms of the zoning
ordinance for a change in use not allowed in a district. In exercising it powers to grant a variance, the Board of Adjustment
shall make findings and show in its minutes that:
a. Literal enforcement of the controls will create an unnecessary hardship or practical difficulty in the development
of the affected property.
b. The situation causing the hardship or difficulty is neither self-imposed nor generally affecting all or most properties
in the same zoning district.
c. The relief sought will not injure the permitted use of adjacent conforming property.
d. The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the spirit and purposes of the zoning regulations.
