Sandlin Homes LLC for a zoning change from AG (Agricultural), R-
2 (Single-Family Residential), R-3 (Single-Family Residential), and
C-2 (Commercial) to RI-PD (Residential Infill Planned Development)
at 6803, 6809, 6813, 6821, and 6825 Smithfield Road, and 6744,
6746, 6748, and 6800 Hewitt Street, being 7.494 acres described as
Tracts 2B, 2E, 3B, 3131, and 3A1 B, McComas Survey, Abstract
1040; Lots 1 R and 2, Block 4, Mollie B Collins Addition; Lot 1, Block
1, Miranda Addition; and a portion of Lot 1, Block 1, Buzan Addition.
PRESENTER: Cori Reaume, Director of Planning
SUMMARY:
Sandlin Homes LLC is requesting a zoning change from AG (Agricultural), R-2 (Single-
Family Residential), R-3 (Single-Family Residential), and C-2 (Commercial) to RI-PD
(Residential Infill Planned Development) on 7.494 acres located in the 6800 block of
Smithfield Road.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The property is generally located on the west side of Smithfield Road between Cortland
Drive and Odell Street. The site includes several parcels of land extending between
Smithfield Road and Hewitt Street. It is partially developed with single-family residences
and commercial property and also includes vacant tracts.
The current zoning varies across the property from AG (Agricultural), R-2 (Single-Family
Residential), R-3 (Single-Family Residential), and C-2 (Commercial). The applicant
proposes to rezone the property to RI-PD (Residential Infill Planned Development).
This proposal was originally presented at the May 7, 2026 meeting where the Planning &
Zoning Commission tabled action on the zoning case, requesting the applicant provide
additional information and consider revisions to the proposal.
The applicant's revised site plan exhibits for the project are attached. The proposed
development now includes 33 single-family lots with an overall density of 4.4 dwelling
units per acre. The minimum lot size has increased from the originally proposed 5,743 to
a new minimum lot size of 7,000. The average lot size has increased from the originally
NORTH RI HLAND HILLS
proposed 7,577 square feet to a new average of 8,109 square feet. The lot sizes vary,
with a few lots over 11,000 square feet, and one lot just over 12,000 square feet.
Other changes from the original proposal include the following:
• Lot widths for the westernmost lots were increased from 50' to over 60'
• A location for a possible drainage easement was identified on the north side of
Terrace Drive, should the City determine that to be necessary during civil plan
review.
• The building line has been increased from 20' to 25' on 14 of the lots, with another
several lots including home placement that will allow for the garage to be set further
back on the lot to reach a 25' distance from front of garage to sidewalk.
• The applicant has agreed to continue the sidewalk connection, assuming adequate
right-of-way is obtained by the City, from the end of the development down to the
crossing at Cortland, including installation of the curb ramp on the north side of
Cortland.
Access to the development is from Smithfield Road and Hewitt Street. A new street,
Terrace Drive, would be constructed between the two roads, similar to Cortland Drive
immediately south of the project. Lots would be located on both sides of the new street.
Based on public feedback in the original hearing, staff and the applicant did discuss
installation of an emergency-access only gate to be constructed at one end of the new
street, but several safety and congestion issues were identified that prevent this from
being a feasible option.
The project incorporates approximately 14,444 square feet (0.33 acres) of open space,
which makes up 4.4% of the site. The four open space lots would be located adjacent to
Smithfield Road and Hewitt Street and provide areas for landscaped entries and signage.
The proposed conditions of approval for this RI-PD district are attached. Applications for
rezoning to the RI-PD district 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, and they are subject to final approval by
City Council.
VISION2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: This area is designated on the Vision2030 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.
CURRENT ZONING: The property is currently zoned AG (Agricultural), R-2 (Single-
Family Residential), R-3 (Single-Family Residential), and C-2 (Commercial).
PROPOSED ZONING: The proposed zoning is RI-PD Residential Infill Planned
Development. The RI-PD zoning district is intended to encourage residential development
of small and otherwise challenging tracts of land by offering incentives that encourage
NORTH I* I HLAND HILLS
creative and inventive development scenarios. These developments are limited to
residential development or redevelopment of less than ten acres.
SURROUNDING ZONING ( LAND USE:
NORTH C-2 (Commercial) Auto-related service
Low Density Residential
R-3 (Single-Family Residential) Single-family residences
WEST R-2 (Single-Family Residential) Low Density Residential Single-family residences
SOUTH AG(Agricultural)
Low Density Residential Single-family residences
R-3 (Single-Family Residential)
EAST R-2 (Single-Family Residential)
Low Density Residential Single-family residences
R-3 (Single-Family Residential)
PLAT STATUS: Parts of the property are platted in Mollie B Collins Addition; Miranda
Addition; Buzan Addition. The remainder of the property is unplatted. Approval of public
infrastructure plans and a final plat of the property are required prior to the issuance of
building permits.
CITY COUNCIL: The City Council will consider this request at the August 10, 20267
meeting following a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve ZC26-0160.

Under this new PD Development Plan, the owner is requesting approval of a 7.49-acre area of
this property to be rezoned for residential use with the base zoning requirements for Single
Family Residential Zoning R3 The 35 residential lots in this proposed development will vary in
size with the largest lot being 10,967 sq. feet.

areas include a grass landscaped berm with trees. This will provide a buffer from
Smithfield Road and Hewitt Street and common open areas to be utilized by the residents.
• The proposed storm drainage will connect to an existing system that is within the right-
of-way of Hewitt Street, constructed within this development, and extended to collected
off-site water drainage to this property.
• Proposed landscaping improvements will be constructed within the public right-of-way of
the new development including the existing perimeter streets (Smithfield Road and
Hewitt Street) and open spaces.
• Fencing at the neighborhood entrances will be 6' Cedar Board-on-Board Fence with Cap,
and will include Entrance Feature Stone Veneer Monuments with Raised Brass Lettering.
