Mayor Trevino opened the public hearing for Ordinance No. 3788, and called on Director
of Planning Clayton Comstock to introduce items C.2 and D.1. Staff will have one
presentation, but City Council will take separate action on each item.
Mr. Comstock informed City Council the applicant is requesting a special development
plan for 1.08 acres located at 6205 Davis Boulevard to construct a new Starbucks. The
area is designated on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and is zoned as transit oriented
development. Mr. Comstock provided site photos of the property. The companion item,
PLAT23-0035, located at 6251 Davis Boulevard creates two nonresidential lots.
Applicant representatives Matt Jameson with CJ Real Estate, located at 3825 Camp
Bowie, Fort Worth, TX and Shelly Henderson with Starbucks Store Development, located
at 7250 Dallas Parkway, Plano, TX presented the request. Mr. Jameson stated that the
proposed Starbucks at Davis Boulevard and Smithfield Road will have a dedicated
drive-through lane that will accommodate stacking for 11 vehicles, 30 parking spaces,
and a pass-through lane. The site will have enhanced landscaping and an enlarged patio
and customer sidewalk. Mr. Jameson stated that they are requesting four wall signs for
their building.
Mr. Comstock presented staff's report. The site plan depicts a 2,200 square foot quick
service restaurant with one drive-through lane that provides 10 stacking spaces, 30
parking spaces and access to Smithfield Road and Davis Boulevard. The site will include
a city gateway feature easement at the street corner. The landscape plan provides for
39% landscape area of the lot, 15-foot landscape setbacks on Smithfield Road and Davis
Boulevard, 15 new trees, and a hedgerow between the drive-through lane and streets.
The irrigation and maintenance responsibility will be transferred from the City of North
Richland Hills to Starbucks for the Smithfield landscape parkway. Mr. Comstock reviewed
the applicant's request for waivers to the transit oriented development code for
drive-through facility; build-to-zone and building frontage; landscape standards; signage;
building design, feature buildings, and transparency (storefront windows). The Planning
