C.1 ZC22-0031, ORDINANCE NO. 3785, PUBLIC HEARING AND
CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM NEEL-SCHAFFER, INC., FOR A
ZONING CHANGE FROM 0-1 (OFFICE) TO RI-PD (RESIDENTIAL INFILL
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT) AT 7000 IRON HORSE BOULEVARD, BEING
5.01 ACRES DESCRIBED AS LOT 4B1 B, NRH INDUSTRIAL PARK ADDITION.
APPROVED
Council member Wright Oujesky returned to the meeting at 7:42 p.m.
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 5.01
acres located at 7000 Iron Horse Boulevard for a single-family detached development.
The area is designated on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as office commercial and
the current zoning is 0-1, office. Mr. Comstock provided site photos of the property.
Mr. Scott Sandlin with Sandlin Homes located at 5137 Davis Boulevard presented the
request. The site is located at Iron Horse and Trinidad. He shared with City Council that
he was the original developer for Cambridge Place, Cambridge Village and Cambridge
Estates. Ten years ago they rezoned the property for office buildings and there was no
demand. The zoning change request for single-family development is the best use for the
property. The developer for the site is Cambridge Development Company and the home
builder is Sandlin Homes. The request is to rezone the property from 0-1 (office) to
RI-PD (residential infill planned development). The base zoning would be R-3 (single
family residential) with lots averaging at 8,434 square feet. The request is consistent with
the neighborhood development to the north. Mr. Sandlin shared that the request includes
improved traffic circulation and emergency access, larger lots, open space, re-routing of
storm drainage and sewer line, landscaping improvements, and fencing enhancements.
He shared that they propose a wrought iron fence with a living screening wall between
the development and the bank located to the west. He provided proposed elevations for
the development, which would not include a three-car garage.
Deputy Mayor Pro Tern Deupree asked Mr. Sandlin if the fence located on the east side
of the property would be replaced.
Mr. Sandlin shared that the question was asked at the Planning and Zoning Commission.
There are sections of the fence that are newer than others. Their budget includes the
cost for a new fence, which will be erected with the construction of a house. He plans to
visit with abutting neighbors to get their approval to replace the existing fence. If the
neighbor is not agreement he will abut the new fence to the existing fence.

Mr. Comstock presented staffs report. The development proposes 18 single-family lots
(50 foot width); 20,100 square feet of open space (two lots on west side of internal
street); street trees (1 required per lot between sidewalk and curb); two on-site trees
required per residential lot; irrigation system; homeowner association to maintain
landscaping for open space lots; cross-rail fence and 6-foot cedar fence; and decorative
entry wall feature, cluster mailboxes, street lights and street signs. The Planning and
Zoning Commission, at their April 6, 2023 meeting, recommended approval with a vote of
6-0.
City Council and staff discussed the fence along the east side of the property, standards
for garage doors, and why the development only proposes houses on one side of the
street.
Mr. Comstock informed City Council it is their right to require the developer to build a
continuous fence line before the development. He explained that the reason for the
development only having houses on one side is due to the depth of lot size.
Mr. Sandlin stated that he seeks permission to build the fence as the houses are
constructed.
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

APPROVED
Director of Public Works Caroline Waggoner presented the item. In 2009, the City
applied for a Sustainable Development Grant with the North Texas Council of

development adjacent to the funded roadway improvements. A developer agreement in
April 24, 2023
City Council Meeting Minutes
Page 11 of 14
2016 failed to meet the criteria. In 2019, the city began discussions with North Central
Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) and identified a funding option, Regional Toll
Revenue (RTR), for the project. The funding was approved by the Regional
Transportation Council (RTC) and included in the 2019-2022 Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP). The RTR program provides non-federal funding and the proposed cost
share is 80/20. The grant will be administered by NCTCOG and the city will use its own
design standards, construction specifications, procurement processes and construction
management and inspection oversight. The project scope includes: reconstruction of
Main street between Davis Boulevard and Smithfield Road with on-street parking;
reconstruction of Snider Street south of Main Street with on-street parking and sidewalks;
reconstruction of Center Street south of Main Street with on-street parking and sidewalks;
and construction of a sidewalk along the west side of Davis Boulevard from Main Street to
Odell Street.
