PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MEMORANDUM
FROM: Planning & Zoning Department DATE: June 5, 2025
SUBJECT: PLAT25-0088 Consideration of a request from Arcadia Group LLC
for a preliminary plat of Greenway Parks, being 13.815 acres located
at 8851 Bud Jensen Drive.
PRESENTER: Cori Reaume, Director of Planning
SUMMARY:
On behalf of CCI-Richland Hills II LP, Arcadia Group LLC is requesting approval of a
preliminary plat of Greenway Parks. The 13.815-acre site is located at 8851 Bud Jensen
Drive.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The property is generally located on the north and south sides of Bud Jensen Drive
immediately east of the NRH Centre and northeast of the NRH Library. The site is
bounded on the north by Birdville High School, on the east by the Corporate Center at
The Crossing office buildings, and on the south by the future Mariott TownPlace Suites
hotel. The property is vacant.
The property is zoned R-PD (Residential Planned Development). The zoning was
approved by City Council on April 14, 2025 (Ordinance 3902). The proposed development
includes 200 lots for the construction of detached single-family and townhouse units.
Single-family detached lots range in size from 1,690 to 2,145 square feet, with townhouse
lots ranging from 1,430 to 2,080 square feet. Apart from the lots facing Bud Jensen Drive
and the new north-south street (Greenway Avenue), all residences would face green
streets and open space areas. In this context the houses face landscaped open space
areas with the fronts accessible by sidewalks and garage access at the rear.
The development incorporates approximately 2.7 acres of open space, which makes up
19.8% of the site. The open space is comprised of green street areas and other open
spaces adjacent to streets and internal to the site. It also includes an open space lot on
the east side of the property intended to be developed as a storm water detention area.
CURRENT ZONING: The property is zoned R-PD (Residential Planned Development).
The R-PD zoning district is intended to permit flexibility in the design of residential
developments to best utilize the physical features of the site in exchange for greater public
benefits than would otherwise be achieved through development under general code
standards. These developments are limited to residential development of at least ten
acres.
NORTH RIICHLAND HILLS
TRANSPORTATION PLAN: The development has frontage on the following streets.
Right-of-way dedication for Bud Jensen Drive and other internal streets and alleys is
required for the property.
• 2-lane roadway
Bud Jensen Drive Street type ST-60-36 Urban Village . 60-foot right-of-way width
• On-street parking
• 2-lane roadway

Institutional)
WEST 0-1 (Office) Office Commercial Seytec(distribution company)
U (School, Church, and Community Services NRH Centre
Institutional)
SOUTH TC (Town Center) Urban Village Vacant(future hotel)
EAST 0-1 (Office) Office Commercial Multi-story office buildings
PLAT STATUS: The property is platted as Lot 1 R, Block 1, U.I.C.I. Addition. Approval of
a preliminary plat, engineering plans, and a final plat of the property is required prior to
the issuance of building permits.
CITY COUNCIL: The City Council will consider this preliminary plat at the June 23, 2025,
meeting following action by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
DRC REVIEW & RECOMMENDATION: The Development Review Committee (DRC)
recommends approval of the plat subject to the attached DRC comments. These
comments include minor revisions to notations and labeling on the drawing, revisions of
street names, and the addition of emergency passage and access easement areas.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve PLAT25-0088 with the conditions outlined in the Development Review
Committee comments.

NORTH KI HLAND HILLS
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MEMORANDUM
FROM: Planning & Zoning Department DATE: June 5, 2025
SUBJECT: ZC25-0135 Public hearing and consideration of a request from ANA
Consultants for a zoning change from C-1 (Commercial) to NR-PD
(Nonresidential Planned Development) at 8251 Bedford Euless
Road, being 4.26 acres described as Lot 1 R, Block A, Richland Oaks
Addition.
PRESENTER: Clayton Husband, Principal Planner
SUMMARY:
On behalf of Pope Kyrillos the Sixth Coptic Orthodox Church, ANA Consultants is
requesting a zoning change from C-1 (Commercial) to NR-PD (Nonresidential Planned
Development) on 4.26 acres located at 8251 Bedford Euless Road.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The property under consideration is generally located at the northeast corner of Bedford
Euless Road and Strummer Drive. The subject building is a two-story 86,120-square-foot
structure originally developed in 1986. The building is former location of Haverty's
Furniture and other office and retail tenants. The building is currently under renovation to
convert the building to a house of worship for Pope Kyrillos the Sixth Coptic Orthodox
Church.
The applicant proposes to rezone the property from C-1 (Commercial) to NR-PD
(Nonresidential Planned Development) to add a day care center as a permitted use on
the property. While a day care center is a permitted use in the C-1 (Commercial) district,
the property is also located within the Freeway Corridor overlay district. This district does
not permit a day care center land use by right. The applicant proposes to use space on
the first floor of the building for a day care center use and is requesting a zoning change
to authorize the use.
The........................................... ...frii or„ y rII ,X,dii district was approved by City Council on February 10, 2014
(Ordinance 3291). The district affects properties that adjoin or are located within 200 feet
of the right-of-way for NE Loop 820 and Airport Freeway. The purpose of the district is to
provide standards to mitigate the negative effects of the highway on adjacent properties,
such as noise, aesthetics, glare of lights, and to protect public and private investment. It
also implemented several recommendations from the 2001 City Image Study and 2005
Loop 820 Corridor Plan. While the district primarily focuses on enhanced landscaping and
screening standards in the corridor, it also prohibits several land uses, including day care
NORTH I* I HLAND HILLS
centers and kindergartens. These uses are noted as "not permitted" in the table of
permitted uses in ..S e..cli.on..._1._1_ ..- a3.1.. of the zoning ordinance.
VISION2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: This area is designated on the Vision203O Land
Use Plan as Urban Village. This designation promotes sustainable, pedestrian-oriented,
mixed-use development that provides the opportunity for many uses to coexist within a
more compact area. Urban Villages encourage an efficient, compact land use pattern;
support vibrant public spaces; reduce the reliance on private automobiles; promote a
more functional and attractive community through the use of recognized principles of
urban design; allow flexibility in land use; and prescribe a high level of detail in building
design and form. Urban Villages can come in the form of vertical mixed use, where
multiple uses share a single, multi-story building; or horizontal mixed use, where a diverse
set of uses are placed within close, walkable proximity.
CURRENT ZONING: The property is currently zoned C-1 (Commercial). This district is
intended to permit professional and organizational office development.
PROPOSED ZONING: The proposed zoning is NR-PD (Nonresidential Planned
Development). The NR-PD zoning district is intended to permit flexibility in the design of
developments to best utilize the physical features of the site in exchange for greater public
benefits than would otherwise be achieved through development under general code
standards.
SURROUNDING ZONING ( LAND USE:
NORTH C-2 (Commercial) Urban Village Service and commercial uses
WEST R-1 (Single-Family Residential) Low Density Residential Single-family residences
C-1 (Commercial) Urban Village Retail and service uses
SOUTH C-1 (Commercial) Retail Commercial Restaurant
EAST C-2 (Commercial) Urban Village Retail, commercial, and service
uses
PLAT STATUS: The property is platted as Lot 1 R, Block A, Richland Oaks Addition.
CITY COUNCIL: The City Council will consider this request at the June 23, 2025, meeting
following a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve ZC25-0135.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MEMORANDUM
FROM: Planning & Zoning Department DATE: June 5, 2025
SUBJECT: ZC25-0136 Public hearing and consideration of a request from Davis
Blvd JVA LLC for a special use permit for a detention pond at 8320
Davis Boulevard, being 3.925 acres described as Tract 7A4,
Stephen Richardson Survey, Abstract 1266.
PRESENTER: Clayton Husband, Principal Planner
SUMMARY:
Davis Blvd JVA LLC is requesting a special use permit for a detention/retention storage
facility associated with the final plat of The Hills at Davis Park. The 3.925-acre commercial
site is located on the east side of Davis Boulevard between Thornbridge Drive and Timber
Drive.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The applicant is requesting approval of a special use permit to authorize the use of a
detention pond on the site. Section ,1,1„ -7 9 ( ! Dliion/r tentic�,r� c�,�c� frii�g,rii „) of the
Zoning chapter and p.on_1_0 .-12 of the Floods and Stormwater Management chapter
of the Code of Ordinances establish the requirements and standards for the special use
permit. The use of all detention or retention ponds requires approval of a special use
permit.
The proposed site development includes six lots for the development of professional,
administrative, medical, and general business offices. The project design includes a
proposed detention pond in the southwest portion of Lot 6, which is noted by a drainage
easement on the lot. A copy of the approved final plat and preliminary site plan are
attached.
Detention Pond
City codes allow for detention ponds if the proposed development is discharging
stormwater into a developed downstream system that does not have the capacity to
handle the runoff. During the evaluation of the site and the existing conditions of the area,
the applicant concluded that a detention pond with additional detention capacity would be
beneficial for effective storm water flow through the site.
Six office buildings are planned to be constructed on the site. One detention pond is
proposed, and it would be located in the southwest corner of the development. The pond
is intended to be a dry pond with an overall depth of approximately five feet. The pond
design includes pilot channels to direct water to an outfall structure in the southwest
NORTH I* I HLAND HILLS
corner of the pond, where water would discharge into the storm drainage system in Davis
Boulevard.
Landscaping
Zoning standards require that all detention ponds be landscaped. A formal landscape
plan for the open space areas must be reviewed and approved by the Development
Review Committee (DRC) before final acceptance of the public infrastructure for the
project.
Maintenance
The property owner is responsible for the maintenance of the pond and all associated
landscaping. A formal maintenance agreement will be executed as part of the approval
of the special use permit. Generally, the agreement will require the owner to mow and
maintain all grass and landscaping, remove trash and debris once a week, remove silt
from the basin or outlet structures as necessary, and repair any decorative fencing. The
agreement runs with the property and applies to any future owner or user.
Special Use Permit
The proposed conditions of approval for this special use permit are attached. Applications
for special use permits provide an opportunity to address modifications to specific site
development and building design standards for the site. These conditions are based on
the applicant's proposed development of the property. These conditions may be modified
throughout the public hearing process, but they are subject to final approval by City
Council.
VISION2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: This area is designated on the Vision203O Land
Use Plan as Office Commercial. This designation encourages professional, medical, and
administrative office as well as limited commercial establishments that benefit adjacent
and nearby residential areas, and in which all business and commerce is conducted
indoors. It encourages the development of a variety of office types including traditional
office buildings, executive suites, and co-working spaces.
CURRENT ZONING: The property is zoned 0-1 (Office). This district is intended to permit
professional and organizational office development. The zoning was approved by City
Council on September 23, 2024 (Ordinance 3868).

the conditions of approval of the final plat was receiving approval of the special use permit
for the detention pond.

following a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MEMORANDUM
FROM: Planning & Zoning Department DATE: June 5, 2025
SUBJECT: TR25-02 Public hearing to consider amendments to Chapter 118
(Zoning), Sections 118-1, 118-631, 118-633, and 118-833 regarding
data center facilities, parking requirements, and additional
regulations. (CONTINUED FROM THE MAY 15, 2025, PLANNING
AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING)
PRESENTER: Cori Reaume, Director of Planning
SUMMARY:
The Commission is asked to consider amending the zoning ordinance to allow for the
inclusion of new definitions, parking requirements, and other regulations related to data
center uses, and identifying districts in which these uses may be permitted.
This item was continued from the May 15, 2025, Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The general description provided herein is from the previous meeting, but included for
reference:
In anticipation of increased interest in data center development and in keeping with the
goal of proactive planning, staff is proposing the addition of two new use categories to the
Table of Permitted Uses: "Data Center, General" and "Data Center, Small-Scale." This
dual-category approach will allow the City to differentiate between larger, utility-scale
facilities and smaller, lower-impact operations, and to tailor zoning permissions
accordingly based on the scale of the project and possible impacts to nearby properties.
The proposed amendment is the result of a comprehensive review of how other
communities—some nearby, and others who have been recognized for a forward-thinking
approach to data centers — are addressing the rise in data center development. It also
considers feedback from prospective data center developers to better understand their
operational needs and siting considerations.
By establishing distance requirements between cooling equipment and residential
properties—particularly for the "Data Center, Small-Scale" category—we are enabling
these facilities to be permitted byright in select commercial zoning districts where impacts
can be effectively managed. This not only upholds the City's commitment to neighborhood
protection but also supports the Council's goals of regulatory efficiency and a business-
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
friendly environment. Larger-scale data centers, classified under "Data Center,
General," would remain subject to a Special Use Permit in more sensitive or transitional
areas, allowing for more thorough review and public input when appropriate.
This approach attempts to strike the right balance between encouraging innovation and
economic development, while ensuring our zoning regulations protect community
character and livability.
Proposed Definitions:
No changes have been made to the proposed definition since the previous meeting-
The definitions for the two categories of data center are listed below, with the sole
difference being the size of the building or buildings.
A building or group of buildings in excess of 10,000 total square feet primarily used
to house computers and/or related equipment for the purpose of collection, storage,
management, processing, or retrieval and distribution of digital data, which houses
computer and/or network equipment, systems, servers, appliances, and other
associated components related to computing and digital data operations.
Data Center, Small-scale. A building or group of buildings not to exceed 10,000 total
square feet primarily used to house computers and/or related equipment for the
purpose of collection, storage, management, processing, or retrieval and distribution
of digital data, which houses computer and/or network equipment, systems, servers,
appliances, and other associated components related to computing and digital data
operations.
Proposed Inclusion in Table of Permitted Uses:
The table below outlines the addition of the two uses, specifying that either would be
allowed by right in the 1-1 and 1-2 districts. In the C-2 district, a small-scale data center
would be permitted by right, whereas a large-scale data center would need special use
permit approval. In the C-1 district, only a small-scale center could be approved by special
use permit. The special condition (30) as described below the table, has been amended
based on feedback from the previous meeting.

(30) Data Centers, both general and small-scale, must comply with the
following standards:
a. General criteria. All equipment for cooling, ventilation, or otherwise
operating the facility — including generators or other power supply
equipment—must be fully enclosed, except when determined by the City
Manager or designee not to be mechanically feasible. If determined that
full enclosure is not mechanically feasible, all equipment for cooling,
ventilation, or power generation must be screened by a wall or similar
barrier and be located no closer than 100' from the nearest residential
property-
b. Generators.
1. If generators are installed onsite, any regular testing must be
conducted between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.
Monday through Friday, or 10.00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturday
through Sunday.
2. If fuel is stored onsite for generator usage, compliance with all
fire and/or building codes, as amended, shall be required.
Parking Requirements: Because this use is typically equipment-heavy, but results in a
low level of staff/visitors parking at the facility, new proposed parking requirements were
developed as shown below:
