AND

C.1

CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM NEEL-SCHAFFER, INC., FOR A

ZONING CHANGE FROM O-1 (OFFICE) TO RI-PD (RESIDENTIAL INFILL

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT) AT 7000 IRON HORSE BOULEVARD, BEING

5.01 ACRES DESCRIBED AS LOT 4B1B, NRH INDUSTRIAL PARK ADDITION.

APPROVED

Council member Wright Oujesky returned to the meeting at 7:42 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 zoning change for 5.01

acres located at 7000 Iron Horse Boulevard for a single-family detached development.

The area is designated on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as office commercial and

the current zoning is O-1, office. Mr. Comstock provided site photos of the property.

Mr. Scott Sandlin with Sandlin Homes located at 5137 Davis Boulevard presented the

request. The site is located at Iron Horse and Trinidad. He shared with City Council that

he was the original developer for Cambridge Place, Cambridge Village and Cambridge

Estates. Ten years ago they rezoned the property for office buildings and there was no

demand. The zoning change request for single-family development is the best use for the

property. The developer for the site is Cambridge Development Company and the home

builder is Sandlin Homes. The request is to rezone the property from O-1 (office) to

RI-PD (residential infill planned development). The base zoning would be R-3 (single

family residential) with lots averaging at 8,434 square feet. The request is consistent with

the neighborhood development to the north. Mr. Sandlin shared that the request includes

improved traffic circulation and emergency access, larger lots, open space, re-routing of

storm drainage and sewer line, landscaping improvements, and fencing enhancements.

He shared that they propose a wrought iron fence with a living screening wall between

the development and the bank located to the west. He provided proposed elevations for

the development, which would not include a three-car garage.

Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Deupree asked Mr. Sandlin if the fence located on the east side

of the property would be replaced.

Mr. Sandlin shared that the question was asked at the Planning and Zoning Commission.

There are sections of the fence that are newer than others. Their budget includes the

cost for a new fence, which will be erected with the construction of a house. He plans to

visit with abutting neighbors to get their approval to replace the existing fence. If the

neighbor is not agreement he will abut the new fence to the existing fence.

Mr. Comstock presented staff's report. The development proposes 18 single-family lots

(50 foot width); 20,100 square feet of open space (two lots on west side of internal

street); street trees (1 required per lot between sidewalk and curb); two on-site trees

required per residential lot; irrigation system; homeowner association to maintain

landscaping for open space lots; cross-rail fence and 6-foot cedar fence; and decorative

entry wall feature, cluster mailboxes, street lights and street signs. The Planning and

Zoning Commission, at their April 6, 2023 meeting, recommended approval with a vote of

6-0.

City Council and staff discussed the fence along the east side of the property, standards

for garage doors, and why the development only proposes houses on one side of the

street.

Mr. Comstock informed City Council it is their right to require the developer to build a

continuous fence line before the development. He explained that the reason for the

development only having houses on one side is due to the depth of lot size.

Mr. Sandlin stated that he seeks permission to build the fence as the houses are

constructed.

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.

PRO TEM RODRIGUEZ TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NO. 3785, ZC22-0031.

C.2

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 for their consideration is an amendment to the

Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Adopted Capital Operating Budget. Ordinance No. 3786 amends

the 2022-2023 budget by a total of $3,951,263. The total amendment amount is

comprised of $3,101,389 for the American Rescue Plan Act Funding (ARPA) budget

amendment; $110,616 for the Capital Improvement Project budget amendment; and

$739,258 for the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Operating budget amendment.

- ARPA budget amendment includes $539,512 (Fiscal Year 202 general fund

merit/market salary increases), $210,000 (building security enhancements), $1,640,877

(5301 Davis Boulevard purchase, abatement, and demolition project), and $711,000

(Library furniture replacement).

- Capital Improvement Project budget amendment in the amount of $110,616 is for an

existing park project (PK1801) approved in Fiscal year 2017-2018. The project is to

design and construct a historical plaza to commemorate the legacy of the Green Valley

Raceway. Additional funds are required to complete the project.

- Operating budget amendment includes $256,054 for the Parks and Recreation fund

budget due to an increase in operating expenses and $483,204 for the Aquatic fund

budget to support the increased revenue performance of NRH20 Water Park.

Ms. Lewis informed City Council a companion item associated with the budget

amendment is on the agenda for consideration, which will be presented later and require

separate action.

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. There being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino closed

the public hearing.

presented the request and was available to answer questions.

Mr. Comstock presented staff's report. The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their

CONSIDER RESOLUTION 2023-033, APPROVING AN ADVANCED FUNDING

AGREEMENT WITH TXDOT FOR THE SMITHFIELD TRANSIT-ORIENTED

DEVELOPMENT (MAIN STREET) GRANT PROJECT.

E.3

APPROVED

Director of Public Works Caroline Waggoner presented the item. In 2009, the City

applied for a Sustainable Development Grant with the North Texas Council of

Governments (NCTCOG) to assist with the development of the Main Street area within the

Smithfield Transit-Oriented Development. The grant funding was contingent on mixed-use

development adjacent to the funded roadway improvements. A developer agreement in

2016 failed to meet the criteria. In 2019, the city began discussions with North Central

Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) and identified a funding option, Regional Toll

Revenue (RTR), for the project. The funding was approved by the Regional

Transportation Council (RTC) and included in the 2019-2022 Transportation Improvement

Program (TIP). The RTR program provides non-federal funding and the proposed cost

share is 80/20. The grant will be administered by NCTCOG and the city will use its own

design standards, construction specifications, procurement processes and construction

management and inspection oversight. The project scope includes: reconstruction of

Main street between Davis Boulevard and Smithfield Road with on-street parking;

reconstruction of Snider Street south of Main Street with on-street parking and sidewalks;

reconstruction of Center Street south of Main Street with on-street parking and sidewalks;

and construction of a sidewalk along the west side of Davis Boulevard from Main Street to

Odell Street.
