C. PUBLIC HEARINGS
C.1 ZC21-0016, ORDINANCE NO. 3754, PUBLIC HEARING AND
CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM FERNANDO SOTELO FOR A
ZONING CHANGE FROM 1-2 (MEDIUM INDUSTRIAL) TO RI-PD
(RESIDENTIAL INFILL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT) AT 6716 STARDUST
DRIVE, BEING 2.86 ACRES DESCRIBED AS TRACT 1A2, JOHN C YATES
SURVEY, ABSTRACT 1753.
APPROVED
Mayor Trevino opened the public hearing and called on Director of Planning Clayton
Comstock to introduce the item.
Mr. Comstock informed City Council the applicant is requesting a zoning change for 2.86
acres located at 6716 Stardust Drive. The area is designated on the Comprehensive
Land Use Plan as medium density and the current zoning is 1-2, medium industrial. Mr.
Comstock provided site photos of the property.
Applicant representative Jeff Polk, 712 Cabernet Court, Grapevine, Texas provided an
overview of the site plan. The development will have 16 residential homes with minimum
20-foot front setbacks,10-foot rear setbacks and 5-foot side yards. The homes will be a
minimum of 2,000 square feet with a small percentage being less than 2,000 square feet.
A homeowners' association will own and maintain all landscaping within open space
areas and maintain perimeter masonry walls. The open space area includes a community
fireplace and outdoor patio. He mentioned that they are open to suggestions for the
area. The development includes a minimum of a 6-foot iron fence on Stardust and a

minimum 6-foot masonry screen wall/monument sign at the entrance. Mr. Polk stated that
the proposed architectural style is transitional cottage style. The elevations he is sharing
with City Council are not exactly representative of the proposed homes for the lots. The
architectural styles will be regulated by the planned development. As suggested by staff,
there will be an adjustment to the T-intersection to ensure vehicular traffic sees the stop
sign. This adjustment results in decreasing the common space area, which comes in
slightly below the standard requirement for open space. He stated there is area located
on the northeast corner of the property that is a city-owned right-of-way. This
right-of-way is a grassy area that will be included in the development and maintained by
the homeowner association.
Council member Wright Oujesky asked if the builder has been selected for the
development. Mr. Polk informed City Council the builder has not been selected for the
development. Council member Wright Oujesky stated that she is not in favor of the
proposed fireplace in the open space area. If the request is approved, there needs to be
something else in place of the fireplace.
Council member Orr asked if the size of the homeowner association would be sufficient
to maintain the open space. Mr. Polk informed City Council that he does not have
adequate experience with small homeowner associations to respond to the question, but
assured City Council that every caution would be put in place to address concerns.
Mr. Comstock presented staffs report. The proposed development is 2.86 acres on
Stardust with 16 single-family lots. The square footage average lot is 5,321 and 50-foot
wide by 80-foot deep. Mr. Comstock shared that most residential infill planned
developments have the same width and only a few have been the same in depth. There
are older residential infill planned developments with 70-foot depth lots. Due to the
existing conditions of the lot, the open space is located in the center of the project. The
Development Review Committee (DRC) and Planning and Zoning Commission requested
the applicant move the T-intersection back to the south. The movement will decrease the
size of the open space to a percentage that is less than the required standard. Staff
made a recommendation to widen the lots on the east side to decrease the open space
located at the northeast corner of the lot. Staffs concern is with the homeowner
association's ability to maintain the open space. The ordinance in the agenda packet
designates the open space to be 8% versus the required 10%. The homeowner
association will be required to maintain all open spaces on the property. The
Development Review Committee expressed concern with the community fireplace. The
applicant's proposal includes a 6-foot masonry screening wall on the west side, a 6-foot
ornamental metal fence on Stardust at the entry into the development, and a 8-foot
board-on-board cedar fence along the railroad right-of-way. The three fence types are
required to be installed by the developer. The applicant's proposal does not include a
replacement fence on the east side of the property that abuts the existing neighborhood.

Mr. Comstock confirmed that the renderings are conceptual and no home builder has
been selected for the development. Mr. Comstock clarified the homes are not required to
look like the conceptual renderings. He reviewed the text of the planned development
standards, which includes the anti-monotony standard for building elevations and floor
plans; decorative architectural elements required; enhanced driveway finish materials;
decorative garage doors; windows prohibited on second story adjacent to estates at
North Richland Hills subdivision; and requirement of homeowner association architectural
review committee. In the initial phase of the development, the homeowner association is
the developer and home builder. There is not a current requirement in the proposed
planned development standards to have a third party homeowner association
management company. The 16 lots are required to be members of a homeowners'
association and the association is required to maintain the open spaces and street trees.
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their August 4, 2022 meeting, recommended
approval with a vote of 6-1.
City Council and staff discussed the number of lots in the homeowner association and
maintenance of the open space areas; their concern with the fireplace; the conceptual
elevation renderings; the city right-of-way located at the northeast section of the property
that will be abandoned by the City during the platting phase; absence of a screening
fence on the east side of the property; concern with not being able to see the final
renderings and architectural style for the homes to be constructed in the development;
and the number of elevations in the development.
In response to Mayor Trevino's question, Mr. Comstock informed City Council the
railroad noise attenuation will apply to this development.
Mayor Trevino asked the City Secretary to call on those who completed a public meeting
appearance form to speak during the public hearing. There being no forms submitted,
Mayor Trevino asked if there was anyone in the audience wishing to speak on the item to
come forward. There being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino closed the public
hearing.
Council member Compton asked Mr. Polk whytheyopted not to place a fence on the
p p
east side of the property. Mr. Polk commented when there is existing screening adjacent
to the development the builder installs a fence, which is regulated by the planned
development. Council member Compton stated that she would like to see more than four
elevations in the development.
Mr. Freddy Sotelo, 7821 Old Hickory, North Richland Hills, Texas with Medford
Construction was present to respond to questions from Council. Mr. Sotelo confirmed
that they would install the fence located on the east side of the property.
