DISCUSS PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY'S CODE OF ORDINANCES TO CREATE A CODE ENFORCEMENT COURT IN THE NORTH RICHLAND HILLS MUNICIPAL COURT. Deputy City Manager Paulette Hartman advised City Council that staff discussed the option of creating a Civil Court at their December 12, 2022 meeting. At this meeting, City Council directed staff to bring forward a proposed ordinance. Tonight the City Attorney, Director of Neighborhood Services and Municipal Court Clerk will present the process and costs associated with creating a Civil Court. City Attorney Maleshia McGinnis informed City Council that the City Manager's Office, City Attorney's Office, Neighborhood Services, and Municipal Court collectively worked together to bring forward a proposed ordinance to create a Civil Court to address code enforcement violations. The proposed ordinance amends Chapter 58 of the City Code of Ordinances to authorize expansion of the City's Municipal Court of Record and authorizes the appointment of an Associate Judge for Court No. 2. The expansion adds a second court, which will be referred to as "Municipal Court Division No. 2". The ordinance provides that the Associate Judge will be appointed by the City Council. Ms. McGinnis reviewed the administrative enforcement process for designated nuisance abatement cases. The initial violation is identified by a code officer and the property owner has ten (10) days to comply. If compliance is not met, a hearing is set to appear in court. A case manager conducts an initial review of the alleged violation(s) with the citizen(s) and how to comply. Anyone charged with a violation is entitled to an administrative hearing. A hearing officer (licensed attorney) will review the case and discuss options for compliance. The hearing officer is charged with issuing an order determining whether a person is liable or not liable for violation. The hearing officer may make indigent determinations. Ms. McGinnis mentioned a failure to appear at a hearing is considered an admission of liability. A person has the right to appeal the hearing officer's order to the court after posting a bond. The enforcement of order includes the filing of a lawsuit, the use of a collections agency to collect the penalty, and obtaining an injunction for specific compliance with the ordinance. Ms. McGinnis reviewed the civil action process for a Civil Court. The proposed ordinance provides concurrent jurisdiction for the Municipal Court to hear civil lawsuits for designated nuisance abatement cases under Subchapter B, Chapter 54 of the Texas Local Government Code. The lawsuits will be filed by the City Attorney's Office for enforcement of administrative order, egregious cases, or habitual violators. The creation of a Civil Court eliminates the $1,500 filing fee for district court and will reduce the timeline between issuance of notice of violation and filing a lawsuit as necessary to obtain compliance. The penalty range graduates from a minimum $250.00 fine, or up to $1,000 per day for first violation to a minimum of $500 fine for second violation, or up to $1,000 per day, and a minimum of $750 fine for third violation, or up to $1,000 per day. Ms. McGinnis informed City Council the hearing officer will have February 27, 2023 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 15 the discretion to increase the fine in the event of egregious violations, hazardous conditions that endanger the health or safety of the public, or other statutory provisions that authorize a higher penalty ($2,000 per day and in some cases up to $5,000 per day). The proposed ordinance creates a Compliance Assistance Fund that will be collected with paid fines. A portion of the fine for each violation is earmarked and placed in this fund to assist violators who may be deemed indigent. The fund also serves as a partial funding source for city-provided abatement services to properties in violation. Any person found liable of a violation may only utilize the fund once every three years. Ms. McGinnis reviewed a listing of cases that would initially be heard in the newly created Civil Court. Municipal Court Clerk Rebecca Vinson reviewed the anticipated budgetary impact for personnel and supplies. Staff anticipates a budgetary impact of $81,410 that includes an associate judge and substitute judge, administrative hearing officer (additional duties for current prosecutor), court case manager, and court reporter services. Ms. Vinson reviewed two examples of anticipated court filing fees. In response to Mayor Trevino's question, Assistant City Manager Karen Manila informed City Council that two part-time record clerk positions were eliminated to offset the new full-time court case manager. Ms. McGinnis informed City Council that staff will bring the ordinance forward at the next City Council meeting. If approved, the ordinance will go into effect 30 days following City Council approval. Staff will work with the Communications Office to develop public education tools. 3. DISCUSS, REVIEW AND RECEIVE DIRECTION REGARDING THE KEEPING OF FOWL AND OTHER LIVESTOCK. Director of Neighborhood Services Stefanie Martinez provided an overview of regulations for fowl in adjacent municipalities. The city's current regulations allow for one chicken per acre (allowed in agricultural and R-1-S zoning districts); must be kept at a distance greater than 50' from residential structures or inhabited buildings; and must be kept with enclosures or cages at all times. Staff seeks direction from City Council regarding amendments, if any, to the city's current regulations for the keeping of chickens and other livestock. Council member Vaughn shared that he provided a copy of a geographical post regarding the keeping of chickens in North Richland Hills. He is hopeful that the city can find a middle ground for the keeping of chickens. Mayor Trevino asked Council if they want staff to change the city's current regulations. The consensus of Council was to keep the current regulations in place. February 27, 2023 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 15 4.

February 27, 2023 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 15 Mr. Comstock informed City Council the applicant is requesting a special use permit for a permanent accessory building located at 8104 Green Valley Drive. The area is designated on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as low density residential and the current zoning is R-1-S special single-family. Mr. Comstock provided site photos of the property.

The building will match the color of the residence. Mr. Wood commented that the roof pitch of his residence falls between 3:12 and 3.5:12. He seeks a variance to the roof pitch of the accessory building to allow a 3:12 roof pitch versus 4:12. Mr. Wood also seeks a variance to the concrete driveway and proposes to use blacktop pavement (asphalt). He informed City Council they purchased the property in 2022 and rezoned their property to R-1-S to have the opportunity to build his hobby shop. He was informed that he could build up to 5% of the one-acre lot via a special use permit. The proposed building 4.8% of the lot size. Mr. Comstock presented staffs report. The City Council considered and approved a replat for this property on June 13, 2022. The applicant's request is for a 2,100 square foot building area, which is 4.8% of the lot area). The zoning ordinance has a limit of 5% of lot area for all accessory buildings on the property. The proposed roof pitch is 3:12 and the minimum roof pitch is 4:12. The gravel driveway is a variance to the development standard for a concrete driveway for parking of vehicles.

The primary residence is 1,962 square feet and the applicant's proposed accessory building is 2,100 square feet. The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their February 2, 2023 meeting, recommended denial with a vote of 4-1. The applicant appealed the Planning and Zoning Commission's decision. Associate Mayor Pro Tern Turnage asked staff to comment on Mr. Wood's statement that he could use concrete or asphalt. Mr. Comstock clarified that Section 118-718(c12) of the zoning ordinance requires a concrete driveway that connects to the street for detached garages and accessory buildings. Associate Mayor Pro Tern Turnage clarified the applicant is requesting asphalt versus concrete. Mr. Comstock stated that the applicant's original application requested to keep the existing gravel driveway, but tonight he mentioned asphalt. Mr. Comstock commented that he would defer that question to the applicant. In response to Associate Mayor Pro Tem Turnage's question, Mr. Comstock stated that nothing has changed in the applicant's request since denial by the Planning and Zoning Commission. February 27, 2023 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 8 of 15 Council member Vaughn asked staff to review the concerns of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Comstock stated the Commission was concerned with the visibility from Davis Boulevard, they had questions and discussion about the size and use of the building, and the driveway to the adjacent property. In response to Council member Vaughn's question, Mr. Comstock stated that the existing gravel driveway is legal nonconforming. The property does not have an accessory building for the storage of vehicles, so there is no reason for it to be paved. Council member Compton and Mr. Comstock discussed the applicant's request for a 3:12 roof pitch. The 4:12 roof pitch has been in the zoning ordinance for a number of years. The rationale for the pitch is due to snow and ice build up on roofs. Council member Vaughn asked staff if they received any comments from adjacent property owners.

Mr. Wood stated that he is amenable to placing asphalt. Mayor Trevino asked the City Secretary to call on those who completed a public meeting appearance form to speak during the public hearing.

Council member Compton asked what the difference is for this request compared to what was previously on the property. Mr. Comstock commented that his understanding is there is no difference. Mr. Cheeks stated that the current pitch is 1:12 and he is requesting a 2:12 roof pitch. In response to Council member Wright Oujesky's comment, he is amenable to wrapping the posts with cedar, concrete board, or similar material to be aesthetically appealing. Council member Compton asked where the current concrete ends on Forest Lane to the property. Mr. Comstock displayed a map that showed the concrete pavement from Forest Lane to the primary residence. The property has a gravel drive from the turn-in to the mother-in-law suite and location of the proposed carport. Council member Vaughn commented that it does not look like the rain runoff would drain properly with the way the carport is positioned against the building. Mr. Comstock verified that staff will ensure the roof has a slope and gutters for proper drainage.
