MEMORANDUM
FROM: Planning & Zoning Department DATE: July 18, 2024
SUBJECT: Discussion regarding Planning and Zoning Commission Rules of
Procedure.
PRESENTER: Clayton Comstock, Managing Director of Development Services
SUMMARY:
The purpose of this item is to allow the Planning and Zoning Commission the opportunity
to discuss the Commission's rules of procedure. The rules generally establish the officer
positions, procedures for conducting meetings, and motions and voting. Rules of
procedure forthe Commission have been in place since at least the 1980s and have been
modified over time.
Regular review of the rules of procedure ensures that the Commission has effective
meeting practices in place and provides an opportunity to discuss revisions that may be
appropriate due to changes in organizational structure or internal practices.
For example, on May 6, 2023, NRH voters approved numerous amendments to the City
Charter. This included approval of Proposition F, which provided for the ability to appoint
alternate members to the Planning and Zoning Commission. While two alternate
members were recently appointed by City Council, these positions are not reflected in the
rules of procedure.
A copy of the current Planning and Zoning Commission rules of procedure is attached for
reference.

the entire property into two single-family residential lots with a flag lot configuration, as
shown in the exhibit below.

Section 110-232(m) of the Subdivision Regulations states that any plat proposing a flag
lot configuration is subject to approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City
Council. Due to their unconventional design, flag lot configurations may be appropriate if-
- the proposed lot configuration is needed to abate an unusual property
accessibility constraint not created by the applicant-,
— the property has acute topographical conditions or constraints; or,
— the unusual adjacent property boundary configuration constrains the arrangement
of an otherwise standard lot configuration.
The Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council may approve a plat with a flag lot
configuration if the lot meets the following standards. An applicant may request a waiver,
modification, or exception to these standards, as provided in Section 110-42.
(1) The proposed lot configuration must not circumvent the normal platting of streets
or public and emergency access.
(2) The proposed lot configuration must not prevent the extensions of streets to
adjacent unsubdivided property.
(3) The width of the narrow or elongated part of the lot must be at least fifty (50) feet
wide at its frontage connection with the adjacent public street.
(4) The narrow or elongated part must be at least fifty (50) feet wide measured from
the connecting street frontage to where the lot widens into a flag shape to create
a suitable building area.
As proposed, the narrow portion of Lot 3R2 does not meet the fifty-foot minimum width
standard from the street frontage to where the lot widens into a flag shape. The lot has
forty (40) feet of frontage on Timber Drive and narrows to thirty (30) feet before the lot
widens. The owner is requesting a waiver of this standard to approve the lots as
presented. The attached letter summarizes the waiver request.
LAND USE PLAN: This area is designated on the Land Use Plan as Low Density
Residential. This designation promotes quality neighborhoods of conventional suburban
single-family detached homes. General characteristics of these neighborhoods include a
density of two to six dwelling units per acre and houses of one- and two-stories.
"K
NOKTH KICHLAND HILLS
CURRENT ZONING: The property is zoned R-1 (Single-Family Residential). The R-1
district is intended to provide areas for very low density development of single-family
detached dwelling units which are constructed at an approximate density of 2.9 units per
acre. The zoning was approved by City Council on June 27, 2022 (Ordinance 3744).
TRANSPORTATION PLAN: The development has frontage on the following streets.
Right-of-way dedication may be required for this plat depending on the width of the
existing right-of-way.

PLAT STATUS: A portion of this property is platted as Lot 3, Holder Smithfield Estates.
CITY COUNCIL: The City Council will consider this request at the August 12, 2024,
meeting following action by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
DRC REVIEW & RECOMMENDATION: The Development Review Committee (DRC)
recommends approval of plat. The surveyor has revised the plat to address all DRC
conditions of approval. These comments included minor additions and revisions to
notations and labeling on the drawing and verification.
Plat approval also would be subject to approval of the flag lot configuration and associated
waiver request by Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve PLAT24-0065, subject to action on the proposed flag lot configuration and
associated waiver request.

REFERENCE: City Case Number PL4T24-0O65
Tb Whom ;t May Concern:
Regarding the referenced case number PL4T24'0O65 and per NRH Regulation llO-42,vve are formally
requesting e special exception and waiver to NRH Regulations 11O-233(rn) requiring a minimum wf50
feet of frontage om the existing road nf Timber Drive.
Ay proposed,v«e are requesting 2 lots fronting a total of181.07 feet of frontage along Timber Drive.As
is,there is a relatively large lot on the back and east side with no current frontage or street access.The
front/west lot currently has the only frontage to the adjacent street,Timber Drive.The lot configuration
relative to Timber Drive is unique in that it occurs along a 90 degree turn of the street,which
significantly limits the available frontage width. \We are proposing a flag lot with 4O feet of frontage off
Timber Drive as an access and utility easement to the back/east lot.'To maintain lot line offset
regulations(6 feet),with existing primary structures that currently exists on the front/west lot,the
proposed frontage width mf40 feet is the maximum allowed.
|f the lot stays asis without granting anexoeption/wvuiver, there will benn way in access the back/east
lot to support development as a single-family dwelling as intended by Ordinance No. 3744, Alternative
frontage to Davis Boulevard and Thornhill Drive is not feasible without significant impact to neighboring
property owners.Additionally, increasing the frontage to 50 feet is not feasible asit would require the
removal of existing primary structures on the front/West lot,which is our current primary residence.
Please take this letter as a formal request to allow for a unique exception to the minimum 50haet
frontage requirement and allow for the proposed 4Q feet frontage for city case number PLAT24-OO5S.

MEMORANDUM
FROM: Planning & Zoning Department DATE: July 18, 2024
SUBJECT: ZC24-0101 Public hearing and consideration of a request from Jake
and Virginia Murrah for a special use permit for a permanent
accessory building and an accessory dwelling unit at 6909 Little
Ranch Road, being 1.84 acres described as Lot 3, Block 1, Morgan
Meadows.
PRESENTER: Clayton Comstock, Managing Director of Development Services
SUMMARY:
Jake and Virginia Murrah are requesting a special use permit for a permanent accessory
building and an accessory dwelling unit on 1.84 acres at 6909 Little Ranch Road.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The property under consideration is a 1.84-acre (80,150 square feet) lot located on the
west side of Little Ranch Road just south of Hightower Drive. The property has 200 feet
of frontage on Little Ranch Road and is
approximately 399.8 feet deep. There is not a
house on the property, but two small accessory
buildings are located in the northwest corner.
The owner intends to construct a house and
other improvements on the property (see
ACCESSORY
exhibit right). As part of the development plans, DWELLING UNIT
the owner proposes to construct a permanent
accessory building (detached garage) and an
accessory dwelling unit on the property. These
types of buildings are permitted by right on the PERMWEHi l
ACCESSORY ,
property. However, the buildings exceed the BUILDING
maximum allowed size, and the accessory
dwelling unit does not meet the design
standards required by the zoning ordinance. As
a result, the owner is requesting a special use
permit for both buildings to address proposed
modifications of these standards. A description CdNGEFNTAL.
SUBJECT"TO CHANGE.
of the request is attached, as well as a plot plan
and building plans for the proposed structures.
"K
NOKTH KICHLAND HILLS
Permanent accessory building
The proposed building would be located behind the house. The building is 2,400 square
feet in size, with a 720-square-foot covered porch on the east side. The overall footprint
of the structure is 3,120 square feet, measuring 52 feet in width and 60 feet in depth. The
building is 23.7 feet tall, with a wall height of 16 feet and 4.12 roof pitch. The exterior walls
are finished with board and batten siding. On the applicant's floor plan, the building is
shown to be used for the parking of three (3) vehicles, exercise room, workshop
equipment, and personal storage of household items and property maintenance
equipment. Building elevation and floorplan drawings are attached.
.5 ca lion 11 11_ 11_ O of the zoning ordinance establishes the requirements and standards
for permanent accessory buildings and structures. For lots greater than 40,000 square
feet in area, the zoning ordinance allows for consideration of a special use permit for
varying from specific development standards. The applicant is requesting modifications
to the design standards described in the table below.

Accessory dwelling unit
.5 ca iipirI 11„ 11 8(ca„) of the zoning ordinance establishes the requirements and standards
for accessory dwelling units, also called secondary living units. A secondary living unit is
permitted by right in the RE-1 (Residential Estate) zoning district if the unit complies with
the design standards in that section.
The maximum allowed floor area for accessory dwelling units is 650 square feet, and the
unit must be located within 25 feet of the primary house and connected with a breezeway
at least six feet wide attached to the roofline. These types of living units are intended for
use by a family member or relative of the occupants of the primary house, and the units
may not be rented or leased or have separate utility meters. However, the evolution of
Short Term Rentals (STRs) regulation may impact how accessory dwelling units are used
in the future.
The proposed accessory dwelling unit would be located approximately 150 feet away from
the rear of the primary house. The building provides 2,364-square-feet of living area on
the first floor and upstairs loft, with a 328-square-foot covered porch on the south side.
The overall footprint of the structure is 2,079 square feet, measuring 33 feet in width and
63 feet in depth. The building is 23.8 feet tall with 9.12 roof pitch. The exterior walls are
finished with board and batten siding. The floor plan provided by the applicant shows one
bedroom, one and a half bathrooms, a full kitchen and laundry/utility room, an upstairs
loft, family/dining room, and study. Building elevation and floorplan drawings are

VISION2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: This area is designated on the Vision2030 Land
Use Plan as Residential Estate. This designation promotes neighborhoods defined by
larger single-family lots and homes at a density less than two (2) units per acre. These
neighborhoods are characterized by large lots, rural street design, estate-style fencing,
barns, and livestock. These properties address a specific market niche and add to the
diverse mix of housing and lot options for the community.
CURRENT ZONING: The property is currently zoned RE-1 (Residential Estate). This
district was formerly named R-1-S (Special Single-Family) and is intended to provide
areas for very low density development of single-family detached dwelling units which are
constructed at an approximate density of one unit per acre in a quasi-rural setting. The
RE-1 district is specifically planned to allow for the keeping of livestock in a residential
setting.
SURROUNDING ZONING ( LAND USE:
NORTH RE-1(Residential Estate) Residential Estate Single-family residences
WEST AG(Agricultural) Low Density Residential Drainage channel
Single-family residences
SOUTH RE-1(Residential Estate) Residential Estate Single-family residences
EAST RE-1(Residential Estate) Residential Estate Single-family residences
PLAT STATUS: The property is platted as Lot 3, Block 1, Morgan Meadows Addition.
CITY COUNCIL: The City Council will consider this request at the August 12, 2024,
meeting following a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
DRC RECOMMENDATION. Modifications to design standards for permanent accessory
buildings and accessory dwelling units are subject to approval of a special use permit or
other zoning action.
"K
NOKTH KICHLAND HILLS
The Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed each building individually as part
of the special use permit request. The DRC recommendation for approval of the special
use permit for the permanent accessory building is based on previous approvals of
buildings in similar contexts.
The Development Review Committee's (DRC) recommendation for denial of the special
use permit application for the accessory dwelling unit is based on the following.
1. The accessory dwelling unit size is over 250% larger than permitted by the zoning
ordinance.
2. The size of the accessory dwelling unit essentially creates two single-family
residences on one lot. The size of the unit meets the 2,300 square foot minimum
dwelling unit size for primary residences in the RE-1 (Residential Estate) zoning
district and is in effect a primary residence.
3. A zoning change and plat request for two single-family residential units on the
same amount of land 600 feet south of this property within the same subdivision
was recently denied by the City Council.
4. The accessory dwelling unit is over 300 feet from proposed driveway access on
Little Ranch Road and 150 feet from the primary residence. This exceeds the
maximum separation from the primary residence by 125 feet.
RECOMMENDATION:
For case ZC24-0101, approve the special use permit for the permanent accessory
building, and deny the special use permit for the accessory dwelling unit.

Jake and Virginia Murrah have lived in Tarrant County for over 45 years. We have had homes in
Watauga, Hurst, Bedford and currently Eagle Mountain Lake. In December of 2024 we
purchased a 1.8 acre lot on Little Ranch Road from Mack Garvin where we plan to build our
dream home in North Richland Hills which will be closer to our mothers, three children,
grandchildren and church. We plan to build a 4,000 square feet house, a 2,400 square feet shop,
and a 1,700 square feet pool house. We also plan to put a pond on the lot and have a water
well. My daughter and son-in-law, Michelle and James Loveless will live in the pool house.
James will maintain the property and help his disabled father-in-law who is legally blind and has
Parkinson's. Drawings of all three buildings and the lot are attached.
The pool house has approximately 1,700 square feet of living space plus a 700 square foot loft.The shop
will be a metal building with space for storing a boat and three autos. The shop also has a tool
room, an exercise room, a game room and a half bath. Above these rooms will be a storage
area. The shop will have a 12 foot wide by 60 foot long covered patio facing the pool.

PRESENTER: Clayton Comstock, Managing Director of Development Services
SUMMARY:
Zachary Ray is requesting a special use permit for a permanent accessory building on
1.29 acres at 6800 Meadow Creek Road.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The property under consideration is a 1.29-acre (56,700 square feet) lot located at the
northeast corner of North Forty Road and Meadow Creek Road. The property has 188
feet of frontage on Meadow Creek Road and 300 feet of frontage on North Forty Road.
There is a house on the property, but no accessory buildings are located on the lot.
The owner intends to construct a 2,400-square-foot permanent accessory building on the
lot. This type of building is permitted by right on the property. However, the building
exceeds the maximum allowed size standards required by the zoning ordinance. As a
result, the owner is requesting a special use permit for the building to address proposed
modifications to these standards. A description of the request is attached, as well as a
plot plan and building plans for the proposed structure.
Permanent accessory building
The proposed building would be located in the southeast corner of the lot. The building is
2,400 square feet in size, measuring 40 feet in width and 60 feet in depth. The building is
23 feet tall, with a wall height of 16 feet and 4.12 roof pitch. The exterior walls are finished
with metal siding. The building is intended to be used for the parking of a recreational
vehicle and trailer, storing workshop equipment, and personal storage of household
items. The building site also includes a new drive approach on North Forty Road, and
paved areas around the structure. Building elevation drawings are attached.
.5 ca lion 11 11_ 11_ O of the zoning ordinance establishes the requirements and standards
for permanent accessory buildings and structures. For lots greater than 40,000 square
feet in area, the zoning ordinance allows for consideration of a special use permit for
varying from specific development standards. The applicant is requesting modifications
to the design standards described in the table below.

VISION2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: This area is designated on the Vision203O Land
Use Plan as Residential Estate. This designation promotes neighborhoods defined by
larger single-family lots and homes at a density less than two (2) units per acre. These
neighborhoods are characterized by large lots, rural street design, estate-style fencing,
barns, and livestock. These properties address a specific market niche and add to the
diverse mix of housing and lot options for the community.
CURRENT ZONING: The property is currently zoned RE-1 (Residential Estate). This
district was formerly named R-1-S (Special Single-Family) and is intended to provide
areas for very low density development of single-family detached dwelling units which are
constructed at an approximate density of one unit per acre in a quasi-rural setting. The
RE-1 district is specifically planned to allow for the keeping of livestock in a residential
setting.

WEST R-1(Single-Family Residential) Residential Estate Single-family residence
SOUTH RE-1(Residential Estate) Residential Estate Single-family residence
EAST RE-1(Residential Estate) Residential Estate Single-family residence
PLAT STATUS: The property is platted as Lot 9, Block 3, Morgan Meadows Addition.
CITY COUNCIL: The City Council will consider this request at the August 12, 2024,
meeting following a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
DRC RECOMMENDATION. Modifications to design standards for permanent accessory
buildings are subject to approval of a special use permit or other zoning action.
The DRC recommendation for approval of the special use permit for the permanent
accessory building is based on previous approvals of buildings in similar contexts.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve ZC24-0104.
