D. PUBLIC HEARINGS
D.1 LRB22-0002 PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST
FROM BAIRD, HAMPTON & BROWN FOR A VARIANCE TO CHAPTER 114
(VEGETATION) OF THE NORTH RICHLAND HILLS CODE OF ORDINANCES
AT 4525 CITY POINT DRIVE, BEING 1.65 ACRES DESCRIBED AS LOTS 6R
AND 7, BLOCK 1, NORTH EDGELY ADDITION
APPROVED
Acting Chair Rodriguez opened the public hearing and called on Senior Planner Clayton
Husband to introduce the item.
Mr. Husband informed City Council the applicant is requesting a variance to Chapter 114
(vegetation) of Code of Ordinances for 1.65 acres located at 4525 City Point Drive. The
current zoning is C.2 (commercial). Mr. Husband provided site photos of the property.
Applicant representative Joe LaCroix, with Baird, Hampton & Brown, presented the
request. Mr. LaCroix informed the Board they are combining two lots and expanding the
parking by approximately 60 parking spaces to include, landscaping improvements and a
screening wall. Mr. LaCroix continued that there are approximately 23 existing trees close
to the common property line to existing neighbors. The applicant is trying to be a good
neighbor and does not want to remove all the trees. They are requesting a screening wall
about 20 feet out from the property line. The property has utility easements in this same
area. Mr. LaCroix stated that in order to put in the fence, all the trees must be removed
and the applicant did not feel it was necessary to remove the existing trees. He would like
to keep the existing hackberry trees. Mr. LaCroix was available to answer questions from
the Board.
The Board, applicant and staff discussed concern about the responsibility of the
landscape maintenance between the wall and the existing chain link fence; the required
masonry screening wall complying with code; the addition of some trees and the
applicants intent to leave it natural and preserve the existing greenscape; irrigation
requirements; screening wall location as related to both properties; underground storm
water; and citizen safety with the area between the wall and chain link fence.
Mr. Husband presented a summary of the variance.The applicant is requesting a
August 08, 2022
Landscape Review Board Meeting Minutes
Page 2 of 4
variance to allow the screening wall to be constructed at a location other than the
common property line. The wall would be constructed to follow the western edge of the
parking lot, which is curved along the southwest portion of the lot. The distance between
the common property line and the wall ranges from approximately 18 to 55 feet. The
location of the wall would screen the parking lot from adjacent properties; however, it
would not provide complete screening of the commercial property. The applicant is also
requesting the existing tree line adjacent to the residential properties count as the
required plantings for the buffer yard. There are 23 existing trees in the buffer yard area
that include Hackberry (15), Elm (2), Ash (5), and Mulberry (1). All of these trees are
deciduous species and would not provide screening during winter months. The
landscaping regulations require that one large tree be planted for each 30linear feet of
buffer yard area, with at least 40% of the trees being an evergreen species. The buffer
yard is 210 feet long, which would require seven (7) trees to be planted. Most of the
existing trees would need to be removed to plant the required buffer yard trees. The
existing trees are not a species recommended for use in landscaping plans for
commercial properties
Acting Chair Rodriguez 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, Acting Chair Rodriguez asked if there was anyone in the audience wishing to
speak on the item to come forward. There being no one wishing to speak, Acting Chair
Rodriguez closed the public hearing.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY BOARD MEMBER TURNAGE, SECONDED BY BOARD
MEMBER WRIGHT OUIESKY TO DENY LRB22-0002.
MOTION TO DENY CARRIED 6-0.

LANDSCAPE REVIEW BOARD MEMORANDUM
FROM: The Office of the City Manager DATE: January 23, 2023
SUBJECT: LRB23-0004 Consideration of a request from Franz Architects for a
permit for nonconformity to Chapter 114 (Vegetation) of the North
Richland Hills Code of Ordinances at 5196 Rufe Snow Drive, being
4.86 acres described as Lot 3R1, Block 13, Snow Heights North
Addition.
PRESENTER: Clayton Comstock, Planning Director
SUMMARY:
On behalf of MG Rufe Snow LLC, Franz Architects is requesting a permit for
nonconformity in conjunction with a large-scale remodel of an existing shopping center
building. The permit for nonconformity would allow improvements to the site to continue
without conforming to the current landscaping and buffering standards. The site is located
at 5196 Rufe Snow Drive. Since the permit value of the building remodel exceeds 75
percent of the current appraised value of the existing improvements, full compliance with
the landscaping standards is required.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The property under consideration is generally located at the southeast corner of Rufe
Snow Drive and Dick Lewis Drive. The subject building is 45,162 square feet in size and
located between WinCo Foods and The Shoppes at Crown Point. The site was originally
developed as a grocery store in 1984 and was last used as a church. The building is
currently vacant.
Because development of the site predates the adoption of landscaping and buffering
standards, the property is considered legal non-conforming to current landscaping
standards. The Landscape Review Board previously approved an alternate landscape
plan for the site on November 10, 2014. The current proposed design does not align with
that approval, and the applicant proposes an alternative landscape plan for consideration
by the Board.
Improvements on the property are appraised by the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD) at
$1.5 million. The applicant submitted a building permit to remodel the existing building to
retail stores for three new tenants. The value of all work requiring building permits is $2.7
million, almost twice the value of the appraised existing improvements. Since the value
of the remodel of the building is more than 75% of the existing improvements value, the
general standards of the Vegetation Chapter 114, Article III, Section 114-71 (Landscaping
Regulations) apply to this property. The improvements required by the code include a
"K
NOKTH KICHLAND HILLS
minimum landscaped area on the site, landscape setbacks on Dick Lewis Drive, parking
lot landscaping, and a masonry screening wall adjacent to Dick Lewis Drive.
The table below details the applicable standards and describes the applicant's proposal
to mitigate the deficiency. In addition, copies of detailed landscaping plan is attached. The
proposed improvements include the following features:
STANDARD REQUIRED PROPOSED
Sec. 114-71(f) • At least 15%of total lot area must be . 3.2%of total lot area landscaped(6,725 sq ft)
Landscape area landscaped (31,755 sq ft)
• Full 15-foot setback not provided. Existing
• 15-foot landscape setback adjacent to all condition does not provide a landscape
public streets setback adjacent to Dick Lewis Drive.
• One(1)large tree per 50 feet of frontage • Six(6)existing trees planted in right-of-way.
Sec. 114-71(M
Landscape setback • Ten(10)shrubs per 50 feet of frontage Dick Lewis Drive
Dick Lewis Drive(residential across street) • Maintain existing trees and replace dead
trees
• Requires 6 large trees and 60 shrubs
(300 ft frontage less 35 ft of drive • Add 15-foot landscape setback for
approaches=265 feet) approximately half of frontage(130 feet)
and plant with sod
• No new trees or shrubs provided
• Minimum Area:4.25%of parking lot in
• Minimum Area:5%of parking lot in landscaped area(4,659 sf)
landscaped area(5,490 sf)
Sec. 114-71(i) • Quantity: 1 tree in island per 20 parking
• Quantity: No trees provided in parking area
Parking lot landscaping spaces • Proximity: No trees provided in parking area
• Proximity: Each parking space within 100 • Landscape islands include washed river
feet of a parking lot island tree gravel and sandstone boulders. No plantings
provided in islands.
Sec. 118-871(I) • Loading dock area facing Dick Lewis
Masonry screening wall Drive must be screened with a six-foot • Screening wall not provided
masonry wall
The request is being processed as a permit for nonconformity. Approval would be
associated with the building permit for the renovation of the building, and approval does
not run with the property in the same manner as a variance. If future improvements were
proposed on the site, compliance with the standards would be evaluated again at that
time.
A public hearing is not required for consideration of a permit for nonconformity.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve LRB23-0004,with modifications to the Dick Lewis Drive frontage to address sight
visibility triangles and increase evergreen screening to the greatest extent possible.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Landscape Review Board Case LRB23-0004
5196 Rufe Snow Drive, North Richland Hills,Texas
The following information was submitted with the application on the NRH E-SERVICES PORTAL on January 9,2023.
DESCRIPTION
Remodel of existing building to provide three new retail tenant spaces.Site is being upgraded with new islands and
striping.
1. List the pertinent section(s)of the landscaping and buffering regulations and indicate the specific interpretations,
variances,or nonconforming use exceptions being requested.
The section in the code:Chapter 114,Article lll,Section 114-71.
2. State the grounds for the request and describe any special conditions that cause hardships that,in your opinion,
justify the variances or exceptions being requested. Explain any usual circumstances, if applicable, that are not
considered by the landscaping and buffering regulations.
We want to proceed with submitting for nonconforming permit. The reason for the non-conformity at the front
is because it is cost prohibitive to run water for irrigation to all the landscape islands. We are adding new
landscape islands with landscaping elements,adding curb stops to guide vehicular traffic circulations and improve
pedestrian safety, and adding landscape to the front of the building via planters shown.
The cost of running irrigation to each island is cost prohibitive and the xeriscaping we have chosen will provide
for an improved aesthetic to the property that will look consistent in the future without concern for the droughts
and freezes we have experienced in the region over the past several years.
Regarding the screening wall, we can't do this with a masonry wall,it is cost prohibitive. On the revised landscape
plan, we are proposing to add additional tall evergreen shrubs to create screening.

LANDSCAPE REVIEW BOARD MEMORANDUM
FROM: The Office of the City Manager DATE: January 23, 2023
SUBJECT: LRB22-0003 Public hearing and consideration of a request from
Triangle Engineering for a variance to Chapter 114 (Vegetation) of
the North Richland Hills Code of Ordinances at 6450 Rufe Snow
Drive, being 0.62 acres described as Lot 7A, Block 1, North Park
Plaza.
PRESENTER: Clayton Husband, Principal Planner
SUMMARY:
On behalf of JC Pace Ltd, Triangle Engineering is requesting a variance to Chapter 114
(Vegetation) of the North Richland Hills Code of Ordinances. The site is located at 6450
Rufe Snow Drive. The applicant is requesting a variance related to the required buffer
yard, masonry screening wall, and parking lot entrance islands.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The site is located on the east side of Rufe Snow Drive just north of the Mid-Cities
Boulevard intersection. The site is north of an existing shopping center and adjacent to
single-family residences on Sunset Drive. The property is zoned C-2 (Commercial) and
is undeveloped. The applicant proposes to develop a site for a new quick-service oil
change business, S iriiclkllar� ,l1:3,...................................................lr , which is a permitted use in the C-2 zoning district.
g „„ , ,„
A site plan application is currently under review by the Development Review Committee
(DRC). As part of the review, the DRC noted that the location of the required landscape
buffer yard and screening wall between the site and adjacent residential use is
encumbered by a 50-foot wide pipeline easement. The applicant discussed possible
landscaping and screening wall improvements with the pipeline owner, The Williams
Companies, Inc. It was determined that tree plantings and a screening wall could not be
constructed within the easement due to the location of the pipeline. As a result, the
applicant decided to seek a variance from those standards and request approval of an
alternate landscape plan for the site.
ANALYSIS
The landscaping and buffering standards that apply to this property are found in Article
III, Landscaping and Buffering Regulations of Chapter 114 (Vegetation) of the Code of
Ordinances. The Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the landscape plan
for the property as part of the site plan application for the project. The plan meets the
requirements of the landscaping and buffering regulations except for the standards
described below.
"K

The request is being processed as a variance application, which would waive certain
landscaping standards for the development. The Board may include appropriate
conditions as part of the approval of a variance request. The affirmative vote of four Board
members is required to approve a variance.
A public hearing is required for consideration of a request for variance. Notice of the public
hearing was published in the newspaper and mailed to all owners of real property within
200 feet of the site.
OPTIONS FOR BOARD CONSIDERATION
The Landscape Review Board has the following options on this application.
1. Approve the variance as presented. This action would approve variances to the
screening wall, buffer yard, and entrance island standards and allow the
landscaping to be constructed as presented.
2. Approve the variance with conditions. This action would approve variances to the
screening wall and buffer yard standards, subject to the owner making
modifications to the screening wall, buffer yard, and entrance island standards as
directed by the Board. An example condition may be the replacement of the
existing wood fence with a new wood fence.
3. Deny the variance. This action would require the screening wall, buffer yard, and
entrance islands to be installed in compliance with landscaping standards for
nonresidential properties. Significant site design modifications would be required
to provide the requisite landscape area and materials as well.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve LRB22-0003.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Landscape Review Board Case LRB22-0003
6450 Rufe Snow Drive, North Richland Hills,Texas
The following information was submitted with the application on the NRH E-SERVICES PORTAL on November 29,
2022.
DESCRIPTION
We are requesting a landscaping variance for the rear portion of our property, it is between a commercial property
and residential property. Due to the existing gas line in the rear and subsequent easement,we are not able to place
the city required landscaping in that area.We have placed additional landscaping on the site between the building
and the rear access drive to provide an additional buffer with the neighboring residential properties.
In addition to the landscaping variance, we are requesting a variance to place the dumpster along the rear access
drive of the property. Due to the current access on the site and the paths that must remain for the total circulation
of the shopping center,we are limited to the access points for a dumpster truck on the property.The remainder of
the shopping center stores have their dumpsters placed along the rear access drive that face the neighbors as well.
This dumpster location and access will provide easier access for the waste management company.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
