FOR A ZONING CHANGE FROM C-1 (COMMERCIAL) AND TOD (TRANSIT

8205-8217 ODELL STREET, BEING 2.42 ACRES DESCRIBES AS A PORTION

OF TRACT 1, ELIZA ANN CROSS SURVEY, ABSTRACT 281; A PORTION OF

LOTS 27 AND 28, AND LOTS 29-32, BLOCK 1, W.E. ODELL ADDITION.

(CONTINUED FROM JUNE 12 CITY COUNCIL MEETING)

APPROVED

Mayor Trevino announced the public hearings for items C.1 and C.2 were opened at the

June 12 City Council meeting. Staff will provide a joint presentation for items C.1 and C.2

and City Council will take separate action on each item.

Director of Planning Clayton Comstock informed City Council the applicant is requesting

a zoning change for property located at 6900 Davis Boulevard, 8205-8217 Odell Street

and 6900-7100 Davis Boulevard. The property located at the northeast corner of Davis

Boulevard and Odell Street is proposed to be transit oriented development with a special

development plan. The companion item, C.2, is proposing a zoning change of R-PD,

residential planned development, for 6900-7100 Davis Boulevard to construct a 63-lot

single-family residential development. Mr. Comstock provided site photos of the property.

The area is designated on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as medium density

residential. This designation provides for attached dwelling units, such as duplexes,

townhomes, and higher density detached dwelling units with zero lot line patio/cottage

homes.

Applicant representative Curtis Young with the Sage Group, located at 1130 North Carroll

Avenue, Suite 200, Southlake, Texas, presented the request. Mr. Young informed City

Council they listened to the comments and suggestions from the 2020 zoning application

that was denied for the same parcel. The proposed development provides for 63

single-family detached lots that are 50-feet wide. The development includes a 20-foot

buffer along the eastern boundary that is heavily populated with trees, which will remain

undisturbed. Retaining walls along this eastern boundary will be constructed to ensure

drainage flows to the front of the lots. The development standards includes language to

address the addition of trees, if needed, along the 20-foot buffer. The development

includes two open space areas and a connection to Brookhaven Drive. Mr. Young

shared that if needed, they are open to providing a gate, if the city does not want the

connection to Brookhaven Drive. He shared that they have discussed the drainage with

staff for the natural area located on the southern boundary of the property. The area will

most likely be designated as a jurisdictional stream by the Army Corps of Engineers, and

a standard graded drainage channel with concrete does not comply with their

requirements. They visited with staff and propose to remove the underbrush and items

from the stream so the drainage flows freely to the concrete channel. The natural channel

will be cleaned by removing dead/hazardous trees and underbrush and pruning trees.

The homeowner association will be responsible for removing debris from the channel,

mowing the edges adjacent to the street, pruning trees to a healthy height, and spraying

for mosquitoes.

City Council and the applicant discussed the street connection to Brookhaven Drive, the

homeowner association's agreement to include responsibility for the landscape

right-of-way, cleaning of the natural channel and maintenance the 20-foot buffer.

Mr. Comstock presented staff's report. The concept plan for item C.2 includes 16.54

acres with 63 residential lots and 3.58 acres of open space. The landscape plan provides

for 3.58 acres of open space; seven open space lots; a landscape buffer adjacent to

Stonybrooke lots; Davis Boulevard street trees (one tree per 50 feet); internal street trees

(one tree per lot); and internal lot trees with a minimum of one large tree and one

ornamental tree per lot. The development plan includes a six-foot masonry wall along

Davis Boulevard, an ornamental metal fence adjacent to open space areas, and an

eight-foot cedar fence along the eastern boundary adjacent to the existing neighborhood.

Mr. Comstock reviewed the building designs standards, drainage channel design, tree

preservation, removal, and mitigation and the existing inoperable gate at the connection

to Brookhaven Drive. The companion item, C.1, is a special development plan for 2.42

acres that currently has 1.72 acres (fronting Odell Street) zoned as transit oriented

development (TOD). The remaining 0.70 acres is proposed for a zoning change from C-1

(commercial) to TOD to expand the existing TOD boundary north to align with a planned

street in the development. The Planning and Zoning Commission held two public hearings

on May 18 and June 1, 2023, and recommended approval with a vote of 5-0.

City Council and staff discussed the natural drainage channel and selective clearing of

trees; public safety and staff's position regarding neighborhood gates; jurisdictional water

and cleaning of the culverts; Brookhaven Drive connection; schedule for proposed

medians on Davis Boulevard; concern with litter in the natural drainage channel; removal

of utility poles/lines along Davis Boulevard; tree survey for the property; what uses are

allowed by right in C-1 zoning; the location of utility boxes; irrigation for the area between

the development's masonry wall and Davis Boulevard; and the purpose of street hubs to

provide connections to adjacent neighborhoods.

In response to the natural drainage channel discussion, Assistant City Manager Caroline

Waggoner informed City Council there is a nine-foot fall from the Davis Boulevard

concrete apron to the flow line of the receiving channel. The city can request that the

developer honor the flow line of the down stream apron as the upstream flow line.

Mayor Trevino asked City Attorney Maleshia McGinnis if the language provided by Ms.

Waggoner should be included in the motion.

Ms. McGinnis informed City Council the language can be included in the motion or the

language can be included in Exhibit B (standards). The motion can include that the

language be added to Exhibit B (standards).

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 for or against

the item to come forward. Ms. Sherami Gerber, 8409 Timberline Court spoke in

opposition and Mr. John Terrell, 161 Summit Avenue, Southlake, spoke in support of the

item. There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing.

APPROVED

Associate Mayor Pro Tem Vaughn left the meeting at 8:45 p.m.

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 revised special

development plan for 11.1 acres located at 6701-6725 Davis Boulevard and 8005-8029

Main Street. The area is designated on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as urban

village and the current zoning is transit oriented development. Mr. Comstock provided

site photos of the property.

Mr. Josh Eames, Vice President of Presidium Development LLC, located at 3100

McKinney Street, Suite 250, Dallas, Texas presented the request. Mr. Eames provided an

overview of Presidium's history and recent developments. He shared the process to date

for the project, which included a 2020 request for proposals from the city inviting

developers to propose a mixed-use development on the northwest corner of Davis

Boulevard and Main Street. In 2021, Presidium competed with three other developers

over a series of presentations and interviews with staff and City Council. In 2023,

Presidium was selected to proceed and they submitted an acceptable bid to place 9.4

acres of the project under contract. The project includes 296 units (average unit size of

1,152 square feet); 20,000 square feet of commercial; and 393 parking spaces for

multifamily and 110 parking spaces for commercial. Mr. Eames provided an overview of

the community and unit amenities. He also reviewed the landscape plan and renderings

for the multifamily residences (three and four stories) and commercial buildings. Mr.

Eames met with Smithfield Cemetery representative Vickie Coles and Presidium has

agreed to provide a wrought iron fence between their properties.

Mr. Comstock presented staff's report. The revised plan provides for 296 dwelling units;

the project size includes seven buildings (three residential buildings, two commercial

buildings, a leasing office, and amenity building) on 11.1 acres; 392 parking spaces for

residential and 104 parking spaces for commercial; 0.47 acres (5% of the site) of open

space; street access from Davis Boulevard, Northeast Parkway, Snider Street (new road

construction), and Main Street; and 20,000 square feet of commercial space on Main

Street. The landscape plan provides for 0.47 acres of open space; Snider Street

streetscape design; Main Street plaza; Northeast Parkway traffic circle; cemetery

adjacency; and street trees on Davis Boulevard, Northeast Parkway, and Snider Street.

The special development plan also includes a community services area that will provide

electric vehicle charging spaces, trash compactor, recycling enclosure, car wash, dog

wash, and a maintenance building. The plan identifies restricted parking for commercial

uses. The applicant seeks waivers to the transit oriented development district to allow

100% ground floor residential use and accessory uses in the mixed use criteria for the

ground floor; first floor height be less than 15 feet based on residential use; arterial

frontage to allow residential on the first floor along Davis Boulevard; reduce required

parking spaces from 537 to 496; waiver of building front on Northeast Parkway to

accommodate curve of road and shape of building; and landscape standards on private

property to provide one large tree per 20 parking spaces versus one tree and three

shrubs per 1,000 square feet of paved area. The Planning and Zoning Commission, at

their June 15, 2023 meeting, recommended approval with a vote of 5-0, with three

conditions (1) enhance the pedestrian experience and walkability on Snider Street, (2)

additional information regarding the Smithfield Cemetery property line (landscaping,

setbacks, tree preservation, driveway connections, and fencing styles), and (3)

improvements that provide streetscape frontage to soften and screen the parking area on

the southwest corner of Northeast Parkway and Snider Street.

Mayor Trevino asked the City Secretary to call on those who completed a public meeting

appearance form to speak during the public hearing.

Ms. Vickie Coles, 5645 Jamaica Circle, stated that she represents the property

(Smithfield Cemetery) located at 7935 Main Street. The applicant has agreed to provide

access to the cemetery during construction, to provide a temporary construction fence,

and they agreed to try and preserve the 100-year old oak trees.

Mr. Brandon Arnold, 6402 Kenshire Court, stated that he is the pastor of the Mason

Lodge and he is in support of the request.

Mr. Terry Snider, 317 Chandler Lake Court, Fort Worth, Texas did not wish to speak, but

asked that his support be recorded.

There being no more speakers, Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing.

MAYOR PRO TEM TURNAGE TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NO. 3797.

C.4

APPROVED

Mayor Trevino opened the public hearing and called on Director of Budget and Research

Trudy Lewis to introduce the item.

Ms. Lewis informed City Council the item before them tonight is to amend the Utility

Operating Fund Budget by $872,606 and the Aquatic Park Capital Budget by

$5,400,000. The Walker Calloway Wastewater Pipeline Project, Phases 2 and 3 with

Trinity River Authority (TRA) exceeded the total budgeted amount by $1,099,000. The

cost of the project is shared between the cities of Hurst (20.6%)and North Richland Hills

(79.4%). The funding options include TRA issuing debt or cash funding from Hurst and

North Richland Hills. Ms. Lewis shared with City Council that TRA submitted prior year

water and sewer settle up payments in the amount of $1,837,830. Staff recommends the

unbudgeted revenue be utilized for the city's portion of the construction shortfall in the

amount of $872,606. Ms. Lewis informed City Council the amendment for the Aquatic

Park Capital Budget is for the funding of construction of the new attraction at the NRH20

Family Waterpark to replace the Green Extreme ride.

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

PARK IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,800,200.

APPROVED

Director of Parks and Recreation Adrien Pekurney presented the item. The Green

Extreme was constructed in 1998 and has exceeded the typical life expectancy for

comparable water coasters. In December 2022, staff hired Aquatic Design Group to

evaluate the existing slide infrastructure, solicit proposals from slide manufacturers, assist

with slide selection, and develop detailed construction documents for the replacement

project. The proposals were evaluated based on best value criteria (rider experience,

optimal staffing requirements, operating costs, and construction costs). The Dueling

PipelineBlast proposal submitted by ProSlide Technology, Inc., was selected as the

replacement slide for the Green Extreme. Due to ongoing supply chain demands, the city

is required to advance the purchase of the slide attraction to ensure slide elements are

supplied and installed for the summer 2024 season.

Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Turnage asked how much money the city saved by utilizing the

existing steel structure.

Park Planning Manager Michael Wilson informed City Council that staff anticipates

reducing the cost of the contract by approximately $750,000 to $1.5 million.

Council member Wright Oujesky asked what recourse the city has if the project is not

completed and would the city be able to recoup the upfront costs of the project?

Ms. Pekurney informed City Council that the finalized contract will include parameters

and bonding to protect the city.
