APPROVED Zoning Administrator Dave Green summarized the case. This is a preliminary plat. The property is located on Green Valley Drive immediately to the east of Green Valley Elementary School. Staff has reviewed this plat, taken it through the DRC process, and compared it to the Subdivision Rules and Regulations. All Public Works Department issues have been addressed by the applicant. At this time, staff is prepared to recommend approval of the plat. The Chairman called for questions and Mr. Welch stated that Green Valley Road shows a right-of-way of 55 to 57.8 feet. He asked Mr. Green to explain the future designation of Green Valley Road according to the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Green guessed that it would be a collector street, whether 2-lane or 4-lane he didn't know. Mr. Welch asked if additional right-of-way dedication would be needed. Lance Barton, Assistant Director of Public Works, stated that based on current information, there is sufficient right-of-way available for current and future use. There were no further questions and the Chairman called for a motion. Mr. Welch, seconded by Mr. Schopper, motioned to approve PS 2002-31. The motion carried unanimously (7-0). 5. PZ 2001-16 R1 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST BY REBEL PROPERTIES III LTD. FOR A REVISION TO THE APPROVED PD SITE PLAN FOR THE GLENWYCK VILLAS ADDITION LOCATED IN THE 6400 BLK OF GLENVIEW DR. (7.379 ACRES). APPROVED Zoning Administrator Dave Green summarized the case. This was a planned development that was approved by P&Z and City Council last year. The preliminary plat and a final plat were also reviewed and approved during the past year. At the time that the PD Site Plan was put together by the applicant, there was a proposal to make Lot 22, Block 2 a common open space/detention pond. Since then, the applicant has obtained offsite drainage easements that will exit this subdivision and travel to the east to an existing system. That drainage does not require a detention pond on Lot 22, therefore, the applicant is requesting that Lot 22, Block 2, be approved as a residential lot. If approved, a change will be required to the notes on the plat. Note #4 references the number of lots and particular size of residential structure to be built on all of the lots Page 2 09/16/02 P & Z Minutes in the Glenwyck Villas Addition. Staff requires that note #4 change from 29 lots with a minimum of an 1800 sq. ft. size house on each lot to 30 lots that will have a minimum 1800 sq. ft. house size. P&Z recommendation should note approval subject to that staff comment. Chairman Bowen called for questions. Mr. Welch stated that the Public Works comments indicate that the drainage easement has been filed at the Courthouse, but Mr. Welch asked for confirmation that the easement has been acquired. Mr. Green affirmed that the easement has been acquired. There were no further comments or questions of staff and the Chairman opened the public hearing and asked for anyone wishing to speak for or against this request to come forward. Mark Howe, 3100 Carisbrooke Ct., Colleyville, Texas, one of the partners in the Rebel III development came forward. He stated that as they went through this process earlier last year, P&Z and Council asked for the elimination of the detention pond, if possible. Mr. Howe stated that they went to the adjacent property owners to acquire easements, at some expense, so the detention pond could be eliminated and turned into a residential lot. He stated that the easements have been acquired. Mr. Schopper asked if the note at the top of the plat that states "38 lots total" needs to be corrected to 39 total lots, in addition to the correction to note #4. Chairman Bowen explained that the total of 38 at the top of the original plat was an error, it should have been 37 total and the additional Lot 22 now makes it 38 overall so 38 is correct. There were no further requests to speak and the Chairman closed the public hearing. There were no further comments from Commission members and the Chairman called for a motion. Mr. Schopper, seconded by Mr. Tucker, motioned to approve PZ 2001-16 R1 with . . ' a revIsion to note #4 to reflect 30 lots. The motion carried unanimously (7-0). 6. PZ 2002-25 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE REVISING THE TERMINOLOGY OF THE ADULT ENTERTAINMENT ESTABLISHMENT DEFINITION IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE. APPROVED Page 3 09/16/02 P & Z Minutes Dave Green, Zoning Administrator, summarized the case. The legal staff of the City of North Richland Hills is currently reviewing and requesting revisions to what is now known as the Adult Entertainment Establishment Ordinance for the City of North Richland Hills. The primary change is a change in terminology or nomenclature. "Adult entertainment establishment" will change to "sexually oriented business". The reason for this change is that the current State statutes refer to these types of uses as "sexually oriented businesses". It also is a terminology that is used in current case law. If this item is approved, the Zoning Ordinance would not change other than the terminology. There is a zoning ordinance for "adult entertainment establishment," which would now become "sexually oriented business." The definition will remain the same, it is only the title that will change. On the zoning use matrix, "adult entertainment establishments" are permitted in the 1-2 medium industrial district. This will not change. Staff is recommending that these revisions be approved. They would become part of an overall ordinance revision that will be passed onto the City Council. Chairman Bowen called for comments or questions from the Commission members. There were none and the Chairman opened the public hearing. There was no one wishing to speak and the Chairman closed the public hearing and called for a motion on PZ 2002-25. Mr. Nehring, seconded by Ms. Cole, motioned to approve PZ 2002-25. The motion carried unanimously (7-0). 7. DISCUSSION OF OTHER ITEMS OF BUSINESS There were none. 8.
