CALL TO ORDER  
Mayor Trevino called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.  
1. DISCUSS ITEMS FROM REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING.  
Council member Orr asked staff for clarification on item C.2, ZC22-0044. The applicant  
stated in his narrative that he is able to request a special use permit to construct a  
building up to 5% of the square footage of his one acre lot. He asked staff to clarify the  
applicant's statement that he can construct a building up to 5% of the square footage of  
his lot.  
Director of Planning Clayton Comstock stated that the property was rezoned and the  
applicant created a one-acre plat. Pursuant to the zoning ordinance for permanent  
accessory buildings and structures, the maximum floor area is 2.5% of the lot area. A  
special use permit is required to allow a maximum floor area up to 5% of the lot area.  
DISCUSS  
ORDINANCES TO CREATE  
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS MUNICIPAL COURT.  
PROPOSED  
AMENDMENTS  
TO  
THE  
CITY'S  
CODE  
OF  
2.  
A
CODE ENFORCEMENT COURT IN THE  
Deputy City Manager Paulette Hartman advised City Council that staff discussed the  
option of creating a Civil Court at their December 12, 2022 meeting. At this meeting,  
City Council directed staff to bring forward a proposed ordinance. Tonight the City  
Attorney, Director of Neighborhood Services and Municipal Court Clerk will present the  
process and costs associated with creating a Civil Court.  
City Attorney Maleshia McGinnis informed City Council that the City Manager's Office,  
City Attorney's Office, Neighborhood Services, and Municipal Court collectively worked  
together to bring forward a proposed ordinance to create a Civil Court to address code  
enforcement violations. The proposed ordinance amends Chapter 58 of the City Code of  
Ordinances to authorize expansion of the City's Municipal Court of Record and  
authorizes the appointment of an Associate Judge for Court No. 2. The expansion adds  
a second court, which will be referred to as "Municipal Court Division No. 2". The  
ordinance provides that the Associate Judge will be appointed by the City Council.  
Ms. McGinnis reviewed the administrative enforcement process for designated nuisance  
abatement cases. The initial violation is identified by a code officer and the property  
owner has ten (10) days to comply. If compliance is not met, a hearing is set to appear  
in court. A case manager conducts an initial review of the alleged violation(s) with the  
citizen(s) and how to comply. Anyone charged with a violation is entitled to an  
administrative hearing. A hearing officer (licensed attorney) will review the case and  
discuss options for compliance. The hearing officer is charged with issuing an order  
determining whether a person is liable or not liable for violation. The hearing officer may  
make indigent determinations. Ms. McGinnis mentioned a failure to appear at a hearing is  
considered an admission of liability. A person has the right to appeal the hearing officer's  
order to the court after posting a bond. The enforcement of order includes the filing of a  
lawsuit, the use of a collections agency to collect the penalty, and obtaining an injunction  
for specific compliance with the ordinance. Ms. McGinnis reviewed the civil action  
process for a Civil Court. The proposed ordinance provides concurrent jurisdiction for  
the Municipal Court to hear civil lawsuits for designated nuisance abatement cases under  
Subchapter B, Chapter 54 of the Texas Local Government Code. The lawsuits will be filed  
by the City Attorney's Office for enforcement of administrative order, egregious cases, or  
habitual violators. The creation of a Civil Court eliminates the $1,500 filing fee for district  
court and will reduce the timeline between issuance of notice of violation and filing a  
lawsuit as necessary to obtain compliance. The penalty range graduates from a minimum  
$250.00 fine, or up to $1,000 per day for first violation to a minimum of $500 fine for  
second violation, or up to $1,000 per day, and a minimum of $750 fine for third violation,  
or up to $1,000 per day. Ms. McGinnis informed City Council the hearing officer will have  
the discretion to increase the fine in the event of egregious violations, hazardous  
conditions that endanger the health or safety of the public, or other statutory provisions  
that authorize a higher penalty ($2,000 per day and in some cases up to $5,000 per  
day). The proposed ordinance creates a Compliance Assistance Fund that will be  
collected with paid fines. A portion of the fine for each violation is earmarked and placed  
in this fund to assist violators who may be deemed indigent. The fund also serves as a  
partial funding source for city-provided abatement services to properties in violation. Any  
person found liable of a violation may only utilize the fund once every three years. Ms.  
McGinnis reviewed a listing of cases that would initially be heard in the newly created  
Civil Court.  
Municipal Court Clerk Rebecca Vinson reviewed the anticipated budgetary impact for  
personnel and supplies. Staff anticipates a budgetary impact of $81,410 that includes an  
associate judge and substitute judge, administrative hearing officer (additional duties for  
current prosecutor), court case manager, and court reporter services. Ms. Vinson  
reviewed two examples of anticipated court filing fees.  
In response to Mayor Trevino's question, Assistant City Manager Karen Manila informed  
City Council that two part-time record clerk positions were eliminated to offset the new  
full-time court case manager.  
Ms. McGinnis informed City Council that staff will bring the ordinance forward at the next  
City Council meeting. If approved, the ordinance will go into effect 30 days following City  
Council approval. Staff will work with the Communications Office to develop public  
education tools.  
DISCUSS, REVIEW AND RECEIVE DIRECTION REGARDING THE KEEPING  
OF FOWL AND OTHER LIVESTOCK.  
3.  
Director of Neighborhood Services Stefanie Martinez provided an overview of regulations  
for fowl in adjacent municipalities. The city's current regulations allow for one chicken per  
acre (allowed in agricultural and R-1-S zoning districts); must be kept at a distance  
greater than 50' from residential structures or inhabited buildings; and must be kept with  
enclosures or cages at all times. Staff seeks direction from City Council regarding  
amendments, if any, to the city's current regulations for the keeping of chickens and  
other livestock.  
Council member Vaughn shared that he provided a copy of a geographical post  
regarding the keeping of chickens in North Richland Hills. He is hopeful that the city can  
find a middle ground for the keeping of chickens.  
Mayor Trevino asked Council if they want staff to change the city's current regulations.  
The consensus of Council was to keep the current regulations in place.  
PRESENTATION OF THE 2022 END OF SEASON SUMMARY AND 2023  
PREVIEW FOR NRH2O FAMILY WATER PARK.  
4.  
NRH20 Park Manager Frank Perez presented the 2022 end of season report. The park  
hit record setting revenues (over $1 million) in the months of May and June. The best  
single revenue day came in July with revenue over $112,000. The park realized a 5%  
increase for overall season pass sale revenue. NRH20 finished the 2022 season with  
approximately $5.36 million in revenue, which is an increase of 15% from the previous  
year. The expenses, including debt service, is approximately $4.3 million a 10% increase  
from the previous year. Mr. Perez reviewed the 2023 pricing and salary structure. The  
resident and non-resident pricing will increase $10.00 for the season pass, $5.00 for the  
greatest value pass, and $20.00 for the extreme pass. Mr. Perez stated that seasonal  
salaries will be increased by $1.00/an hour for the 2023 season. New additions and  
improvements planned for the park include an update to the ice cream area and staff will  
receive data from the Aquatic Group regarding the Green Extreme.

Mr. Comstock informed City Council the applicant is requesting a zoning change for 1.04  
acres located at 3918-3920 Rufe Snow Drive and 3917-3921 Flory Street. The area is  
designated on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as retail commercial and the current

photos of the property.  
Mr. Comstock provided site  
Applicant representative Terry Cunningham with TRC Architects, 3604 South Cooper  
Street, Arlington presented the request. The property owner seeks to renovate two  
existing buildings on the property and to construct one new building (closer to Flory  
Street). The nonresidential planned development will have a fire lane that runs down the  
middle of the property, parking will be located between the existing and new buildings, a  
common access easement for the three lots, and a six-foot masonry wall located on the  
southern portion of the property.  
Mr. Comstock presented staff's report. The applicant proposes to renovate the buildings  
along Rufe Snow Drive and to construct a new building on Flory Street frontage. The site  
plan includes extensive landscaping and removal of concrete. The property will be  
replatted for individual lots and the development meets the parking requirements. The  
Planning and Zoning Commission, at their February 2, 2023 meeting, recommended  
approval with a vote of 5-0, subject to three additional ornamental evergreen trees being  
provided adjacent to 3915 Flory Street.  
Council discussed the aesthetics and upkeep of the dumpster enclosures, removal of  
poles located on the property, and commercial vehicles being parked behind the  
screened area.  
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,

C.2  
CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM MICHAEL WOOD FOR A SPECIAL  
USE PERMIT FOR A PERMANENT ACCESSORY BUILDING AT 8104 GREEN  
VALLEY DRIVE, BEING 1.0 ACRE DESCRIBED AS LOT 2R, BLOCK 1,  
COLLEGE ACRES ADDITION.  
APPROVED  
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 special use permit for  
a permanent accessory building located at 8104 Green Valley Drive.  
The area is  
designated on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as low density residential and the  
current zoning is R-1-S special single-family. Mr. Comstock provided site photos of the  
property.  
Applicant representative Michael Wood, 8104 Green Valley, is requesting a special use  
permit to construct a 35'X60'X12' metal building to be used as a hobby shop, personal  
storage, and parking of vehicles. The building will match the color of the residence. Mr.  
Wood commented that the roof pitch of his residence falls between 3:12 and 3.5:12. He  
seeks a variance to the roof pitch of the accessory building to allow a 3:12 roof pitch  
versus 4:12. Mr. Wood also seeks a variance to the concrete driveway and proposes to  
use blacktop pavement (asphalt). He informed City Council they purchased the property  
in 2022 and rezoned their property to R-1-S to have the opportunity to build his hobby  
shop. He was informed that he could build up to 5% of the one-acre lot via a special use  
permit. The proposed building 4.8% of the lot size.  
Mr. Comstock presented staff's report. The City Council considered and approved a  
replat for this property on June 13, 2022. The applicant's request is for a 2,100 square  
foot building area, which is 4.8% of the lot area). The zoning ordinance has a limit of 5%  
of lot area for all accessory buildings on the property. The proposed roof pitch is 3:12  
and the minimum roof pitch is 4:12. The gravel driveway is a variance to the development  
standard for a concrete driveway for parking of vehicles. The zoning ordinances  
stipulates that the square footage of an accessory building may not exceed the primary  
residence. The primary residence is 1,962 square feet and the applicant's proposed  
accessory building is 2,100 square feet. The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their  
February 2, 2023 meeting, recommended denial with a vote of 4-1. The applicant  
appealed the Planning and Zoning Commission's decision.  
Associate Mayor Pro Tem Turnage asked staff to comment on Mr. Wood's statement that  
he could use concrete or asphalt. Mr. Comstock clarified that Section 118-718(c12) of  
the zoning ordinance requires a concrete driveway that connects to the street for  
detached garages and accessory buildings.  
Associate Mayor Pro Tem Turnage clarified the applicant is requesting asphalt versus  
concrete. Mr. Comstock stated that the applicant's original application requested to keep  
the existing gravel driveway, but tonight he mentioned asphalt. Mr. Comstock commented  
that he would defer that question to the applicant.  
In response to Associate Mayor Pro Tem Turnage's question, Mr. Comstock stated that  
nothing has changed in the applicant's request since denial by the Planning and Zoning  
Commission.  
Council member Vaughn asked staff to review the concerns of the Planning and Zoning  
Commission. Mr. Comstock stated the Commission was concerned with the visibility from  
Davis Boulevard, they had questions and discussion about the size and use of the  
building, and the driveway to the adjacent property.  
In response to Council member Vaughn's question, Mr. Comstock stated that the existing  
gravel driveway is legal nonconforming. The property does not have an accessory  
building for the storage of vehicles, so there is no reason for it to be paved.  
Council member Compton and Mr. Comstock discussed the applicant's request for a 3:12  
roof pitch. The 4:12 roof pitch has been in the zoning ordinance for a number of years.  
The rationale for the pitch is due to snow and ice build up on roofs.  
Council member Vaughn asked staff if they received any comments from adjacent  
property owners. Mr. Comstock stated that no one spoke in favor or against the request.  
Council member Wright Oujeksy asked if the applicant is willing to put concrete for the  
driveway. Mr. Wood stated that he is amenable to placing asphalt.  
Mayor Trevino asked the City Secretary to call on those who completed a public meeting  
appearance form to speak during the public hearing.  
Ms. Dana Harris, 5709 North Hills Drive, spoke in favor of the request.  
Mayor Trevino asked if there was anyone in the audience wishing to speak for or against  
the item to come forward. There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino  
closed the public hearing.  
Council member Vaughn stated that the existing driveway is working, an adjacent  
property has a large building, and the request did not receive any negative impact from  
the neighbors.  
A MOTION WAS MADE BY ASSOCIATE MAYOR PRO TEM TURNAGE, SECONDED BY  
COUNCIL MEMBER COMPTON TO APPROVE ZC22-0044, ORDINANCE NO. 3779  
WITH THE CONDITION THAT THE DRIVEWAY ACCESS TO THE PROPOSED BUILDING  
AND FROM THE STREET TO THE RESIDENCE BE CONSTRUCTED OF A MINIMUM OF

C.3  
CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM RANDY CHEEKS FOR A SPECIAL  
USE PERMIT FOR A CARPORT AT 8213 FORREST LANE, BEING 1.96  
ACRES DESCRIBED AS LOT 13, BLOCK 3, WOODBERT SUBDIVISION.  
APPROVED  
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 special use permit to  
add a carport to an existing permanent structure located at 8213 Forrest Lane. The area  
is designated on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as low density residential and the  
current zoning is R-2 single-family residential. Mr. Comstock provided site photos of the  
property.  
Applicant representative Randy Cheeks, 8213 Forest Lane, stated that he is seeking  
approval to rebuild a carport for his recreational vehicle. His previous carport was built  
without going through the permitting process and was directed to remove the structure.  
He proposes to place the carport in the same location. He seeks a variance for the roof  
pitch and square footage for the accessory building. He requests a 2:12 roof pitch to  
match the existing mother-in-law suite and accommodate his recreational vehicle. He also  
seeks approval to maintain the current gravel driveway.  
Council member Deupree asked the applicant if anyone lives in the mother-in-law suite.  
Mr. Cheeks informed City Council that his mother-in-law spends 95% of the time with her  
sister in Possum Kingdom Lake.  
Mr. Comstock presented staff's report. The applicant requests an 830 square foot carport  
and the development standard maximum is 360 square feet. The proposed roof pitch is  
2:12 and the development standard minimum is a 4:12 roof pitch. The applicant proposes  
to utilize common metal posts, which is not permitted in the development standards.  
Finally, the applicant is requesting a gravel parking surface with a gravel driveway to  
existing concrete driveway. The development standards require the parking surface be  
concrete and have a driveway with street access. The Planning and Zoning Commission,  
at their February 2, 2023 meeting, recommended approval with a vote of 5-0.  
Council member Wright Oujesky asked staff to clarify architecturally enhanced material  
for the posts. Mr. Comstock stated that it could be brick, stone, ornamental feature, but  
mainly masonry material.  
Council member Compton asked what the difference is for this request compared to what  
was previously on the property. Mr. Comstock commented that his understanding is there  
is no difference.  
Mr. Cheeks stated that the current pitch is 1:12 and he is requesting a 2:12 roof pitch. In  
response to Council member Wright Oujesky's comment, he is amenable to wrapping the  
posts with cedar, concrete board, or similar material to be aesthetically appealing.  
Council member Compton asked where the current concrete ends on Forest Lane to the  
property. Mr. Comstock displayed a map that showed the concrete pavement from Forest  
Lane to the primary residence. The property has a gravel drive from the turn-in to the  
mother-in-law suite and location of the proposed carport.  
Council member Vaughn commented that it does not look like the rain runoff would drain  
properly with the way the carport is positioned against the building. Mr. Comstock verified  
that staff will ensure the roof has a slope and gutters for proper drainage.  
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  
hearing.
