The items on the following list will be discussed at the meeting, but no action will be taken. a. Incompatible Zoning Districts /Properties b. Overlay Zoning District C. Salvage Yard Ordinance d. Storm Water Ordinances and Creek Ordinances e. Comprehensive Land Use Plan f. Green /Environmental - related Ordinances The intent is to create a working and ongoing list of items that staff and the Commission need to address. Items on this list will be placed on the agenda to be considered individually as the Commission's schedule permits. 1 Date: I February 8, 2010 Regular Meeting /Public Hearing III Item No: Subject: An ordinance amending Chapter 17 of the City Code, as amended, by amending regulations governing outside storage and screening, including loading docks Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner Item III is a public hearing for an ordinance amending Chapter 17 of the City Code, as amended, by amending regulations governing outside storage and screening, including loading docks. Background: This item is a city- initiated amendment to the City of Kennedale zoning ordinance. This item has been a work session agenda item for a number of months, and after research and discussion during the past several work sessions, the Commission has a draft to take to the public hearing stage. This item was scheduled to be discussed briefly during the joint work session with City Council on February 11, but since that work session was postponed due to inclement weather, it will now be discussed during the joint work session in March. During the January meeting, the Commission asked for staff to make a change to the draft on outside storage regulations that would allow fencing and screening in industrial zoning districts to use solid metal walls instead of the masonry or concrete called for elsewhere in the draft code. That change has been made, and staff will go over the change during the meeting. Essentially, solid metal fences would be allowed in industrial zoned properties on the side and rear but not along the front of the properties. In addition, staff recommends allowing a few more options in terms of fencing type, with a detailed site plan to be submitted to staff for review and approval. For the benefit of any members of the public in attendance at the meeting, a copy of the proposed amendments will be displayed during . the meeting. And if the Commission would 'prefer, I can give a summary of the proposed amendment for the benefit of any members of the public in attendance. Recommendation: Planning staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission consider and recommend to City Council approval of the proposed ordinance amendment. 2 Proposed Changes to the city code regarding Outside Storage and Display, Loading Docks, and Screening Definitions: Outdoor /outside storage means the permanent and /or continuous keeping or storing as an accessory/incidental use of any merchandise (items intended for sale service, lease, or rent equipment, machinery, commodities, raw or semi - finished materials, wrecked or dismantled vehicles, and /or building materials which are not within a fully enclosed building.

Date: I February 8, 2010 Regular Meeting /Public Hearing IV Item No: Subject: Case PZ 10 -01, a request for rezoning, requested by Bill Bowerman and Bowerman Oil & Gas Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner Summary: The applicant has applied to rezone the property described below from "R -3" Single Family Residential to "AG" Agricultural. Swiney Subdivision Lot 4 Less SW corner; Swiney Subdivision Blk Lot W Pt 5; Swiney Subdivision Blk Lot 6A; James R Hawkins Survey A792 Tr 1 B; and Ben Jopling Survey A 866 Tr 3B. The physical addresses are 1257, 1301, and 1409 Swiney Hiett Rd, an unaddressed parcel on Coker Valley, and an unaddressed parcel on N Joplin Rd. The lots surrounding the property are also zoned R -3. There are five (5) parcels included in this rezoning request. Each parcel is a minimum of one (1) acre, which is the minimum lot size for agricultural zoning. Part of the land in this request has been platted and part is unplatted; properties are not required to be platted before they may be rezoned. The applicant's representative told staff that the applicant plans to graze cattle on the property. He had previously discussed the possibility of building a house on the property, but no building permit application has been submitted. Conflict /Compliance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, Thoroughfare Plan, and Future Land Use Plan. The Future Land Use Plan calls for this area to be low- density residential. Staff believes that 1 an agricultural zoning would fit the low- density residential classification, since properties zoned as AG may be used (and are used) for residential purposes. In addition, Goal 1 of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan is to "Maintain and improve upon the existing country living atmosphere" (page 11). Part of the property is currently used for gas drilling and production. An agricultural zoning would not conflict with the property's current use. Action by the Commission: ■ Per the Kennedale city code, the Commission may recommend favorable approval of the request for rezoning or recommend that the request be denied, with or without prejudice. The Commission is not obligated to state its reasons for approving or denying a request for rezoning. The Kennedale city code lays out factors the City Council may consider in deciding whether to approve a zoning change. These guidelines may be helpful to the Commission in making its decision and are as follows: Sec. 17 -429. Amendments. (h) Action on application. The proponent of any zoning change shall satisfy the city council that either the general welfare of the portion of the city affected by the area to be changed will be enhanced, or that the property is unusable for the purposes allowed under existing zoning. If such is proved to the council's satisfaction, it may grant the requested zoning change; or it may change the zoning designation on a portion of such property; or it may initiate a request to consider changing all or a portion of such property to a district other than that requested and of a different character. Furthermore, not withstanding any provision to the contrary, the city council acting on the recommendation of the planning and zoning commission or on its own initiative, in considering a rezoning application may consider and approve any zoning classification set forth in the city's adopted zoning ordinance having a lesser intensity and being more restrictive than the zoning designation requested by the applicant. Note: The Planning & Zoning Commission also has the authority "to consider and recommend approval of any zoning classification set forth in the zoning ordinance having a lesser intensity and being more restrictive than the zoning designation requested by the applicant" [Sec. 17 -429 (e)]. Although it does not necessarily contribute to the general welfare of the city, staff does not believe that rezoning would have a negative affect on the general welfare. Moreover, an agricultural zoning at this site could help preserve a country character for the city as called for in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Staff Recommendation: Goal 1 of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan is for the city to maintain a country living atmosphere, and one of the steps for meeting'-this goal is "requiring attractive, permanent 2 screening between residential and non - residential uses" (p. 11). The grazing of cattle can be compatible with the surrounding residential uses, but we do not know at this time how many cattle the applicant plans to graze. Part of this property is within the floodplain and floodway, but our floodplain management ordinance does not regulate livestock within such areas. Any structures to be used for agricultural purposes would be required to meet the city's floodplain management regulations. And fill work would also be required to meet the city's floodplain management regulations. Staff recommends approving the request for rezoning. However, we also recommend the Commission question the applicant about how much livestock, if any, he plans to grave on the land. A large number of livestock may represent an undesired land use for nearby residential uses, such as the Steeplechase subdivision. 3 ai i O N 0 eal Estate Data Display http: / /www. tad. org /Datasearcb/re.cfin ?Account= %28 %2E % %3 CJ...

Date: February 8, 2010 Work Session Agenda Item No: I I -A Subject: I Discussion of joint work session with city council Originated by: I Rachel Roberts, Planner Summary: The Commission is scheduled to have a joint work session with the City Council during the Council's Feb. 11, 2010 meeting. The Commission may want to discuss the joint work session during its own work session at the Feb. 18 meeting. 1 Date: I February 10, 2010 Work Session Agenda Item No: I -C Subject: Guarantees and Maintenance Bonds for Subdivisions Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner Summary: I've been in touch with a representative of a bond company, but so far we haven't managed to speak to each other. We've exchanged email messages, and I left him a voicemail but haven't heard back yet. In his email message, the bond company representative said that the answer to the Commission's questions lies with the surety companies he represents and that he would ask some of them for their opinions. I hope to have some information for you before the Commission meeting next week. 1 Date: I February 8, 2010 _............ Regular Meeting /Public Hearing III Item No: Subject: An ordinance amending Chapter 17 of the City Code, as amended, by amending regulations governing outside storage and screening, including loading docks Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner Item III is a public hearing for an ordinance amending Chapter 17 of the City Code, as amended, by amending regulations governing outside storage and screening, including loading docks. Background: This item is a city- initiated amendment to the City of Kennedale zoning ordinance. This item has been a work session agenda item for a number of months, and after research and discussion during the past several work sessions, the Commission has a draft to take to the public hearing stage. This item was scheduled to be discussed briefly during the joint work session with City Council on February 11, but since that work session was postponed due to inclement weather, it will now be discussed during the joint work session in March. During the January meeting, the Commission asked for staff to make a change to the draft on outside storage regulations that would allow fencing and screening in industrial zoning districts to use solid metal walls instead of the masonry or concrete called for elsewhere in the draft code. That change has been made, and staff will go over the change during the meeting. Essentially, solid metal fences would be allowed in industrial zoned properties on the side and rear but not along the front of the properties. In addition, staff recommends allowing a few more options in terms of fencing type, with a detailed site plan to be submitted to staff for review and approval. For the benefit of any members of the public in attendance at the meeting, a copy of the proposed amendments will be displayed during the meeting. And if the Commission would prefer, I can give a summary of the proposed amendment for the benefit of any members of the public in attendance. Recommendation: Planning staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission consider and recommend to City Council approval of the proposed ordinance amendment. 2 Proposed Changes to the city code regarding Outside Storage and Display, Loading Docks, and Screening Definitions: Outdoor /outside storage means the permanent and /or continuous keeping or storing as an accessory/incidental use of any merchandise (items intended for sale service, lease, or rent equipment, machinery, commodities, raw or semi - finished materials, wrecked or dismantled vehicles, and /or building materials which are not within a fully enclosed building. Other types of waste /surplus materials, such as construction /demolition byproducts (e.g., carpet remnants, scrap lumber /metal /masonry materials, leftover /surplus display shelving components or other furnishings, demolition materials, etc.), shipping materials (e.g., boxes, foam packaging, pallets, etc.), automotive components (e.g., old tires, salvaged parts, etc.), and other similar byproducts are not generally considered to be included under this definition and must be properly disposed of (i.e., removed from the site; not stored) in a timely manner. Sec. To Be Determined (TBD) Outside storage regulations. (1) All outside storage when permitted by the regulations of the zoning district and any applicable overlay district, shall: a. Not be located within twenty -five (25) feet of the nearest right -of -way line to a public street; and b.

(2) Any building or use in existence before the effective date of this article shall be required to comply with the outside storage regulations when the land use or ownership changes. ` - (3) The community development director may allow exceptions to part (1)(c) of this section for small lots that otherwise meet the requirements of this section and when granting an exception will not negatively affect the city's ability to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the city. TBD) Outside display regulations. (1) All outside display, when permitted by the regulations of the zoning district and any applicable overlay district, shall: a. Not be located within ten (10) feet of the nearest right -of -way line to a public street; and b. Not be located within any required setbacks or within any required landscaped areas; and c.

Not block or restrict required parking spaces, vehicular flow within parking lots, fire lanes or fire lane visibility; and e. Not block or restrict access to building entrances and exits; and f. Not impede vehicular traffic flow or restrict or block the line of sight for incoming and outgoing vehicles; and g. Not block or restrict any required lighting; and h. Not be used as outside storage. The community development director may allow exceptions to part (1)(a) or (1)(b) of this section for small lots that otherwise meet the requirements of this section and when granting an exception will not negatively affect the city's ability to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the city. Sec. 17 -425. Screening requirements. (c) Garbage, refuse and trash collection /storage areas to be screened. Garbage, refuse, and trash collection /storage areas in any multifamily residential district, condominium or townhouse project, or non - residential district or use, shall be screened on at least three (3) sides to adequately screen such area from view of the surrounding area. (See section 17- 405(c)(8).)

Date: I February 8, 2010 Regular Meeting /Public Hearing IV Item No: Subject: Case PZ 10 -01, a request for rezoning, requested by Bill Bowerman and Bowerman Oil & Gas Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner Summary: The applicant has applied to rezone the property described below from "R -3" Single Family Residential to "AG" Agricultural. Swiney Subdivision Lot 4 Less SW corner; Swiney Subdivision Blk Lot W Pt 5; Swiney Subdivision Blk Lot 6A; James R Hawkins Survey A792 Tr 1 B; and Ben Jopling Survey A 866 Tr 3B. The physical addresses are 1257, 1301, and 1409 Swiney Hiett Rd, an unaddressed parcel on Coker Valley, and an unaddressed parcel on N Joplin Rd. The lots surrounding the property are also zoned R -3. There are five (5) parcels included in this rezoning request. Each parcel is a minimum of one (1) acre, which is the minimum lot size for agricultural zoning. Part of the land in this request has been platted and part is unplatted; properties are not required to be platted before they may be rezoned. The applicant's representative told staff that the applicant plans to graze cattle on the property. He had previously discussed the possibility of building a house on the property, but no building permit application has been submitted. Conflict /Compliance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, Thoroughfare Plan, and Future Land Use Plan. The Future Land Use Plan calls for this area to be low- density residential. Staff believes that 1 an agricultural zoning would fit the low- density residential classification, since properties zoned as AG may be used (and are used) for residential purposes. In addition, Goal 1 of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan is to "Maintain and improve upon the existing country living atmosphere" (page 11). Part of the property is currently used for gas drilling and production. An agricultural zoning would not conflict with the property's current use. Action by the Commission: ■ Per the Kennedale city code, the Commission may recommend favorable approval of the request for rezoning or recommend that the request be denied, with or without prejudice. The Commission is not obligated to state its reasons for approving or denying a request for rezoning. The Kennedale city code lays out factors the City Council may consider in deciding whether to approve a zoning change. These guidelines may be helpful to the Commission in making its decision and are as follows: Sec. 17 -429. Amendments. (h) Action on application. The proponent of any zoning change shall satisfy the city council that either the general welfare of the portion of the city affected by the area to be changed will be enhanced, or that the property is unusable for the purposes allowed under existing zoning. If such is proved to the council's satisfaction, it may grant the requested zoning change; or it may change the zoning designation on a portion of such property; or it may initiate a request to consider changing all or a portion of such property to a district other than that requested and of a different character. Furthermore, not withstanding any provision to the contrary, the city council acting on the recommendation of the planning and zoning commission or on its own initiative, in considering a rezoning application may consider and approve any zoning classification set forth in the city's adopted zoning ordinance having a lesser intensity and being more restrictive than the zoning designation requested by the applicant. Note: The Planning & Zoning Commission also has the authority "to consider and recommend approval of any zoning classification set forth in the zoning ordinance having a lesser intensity and being more restrictive than the zoning designation requested by the applicant" [Sec. 17 -429 (e)]. Although it does not necessarily contribute to the general welfare of the city, staff does not believe that rezoning would have a negative affect on the general welfare. Moreover, an agricultural zoning at this site could help preserve a country character for the city as called for in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Staff Recommendation: Goal 1 of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan is for the city to maintain a country living atmosphere, and one of the steps for meeting this goal is "requiring attractive, permanent K screening between residential and non - residential uses" (p. 11). The grazing of cattle can be compatible with the surrounding residential uses, but we do not know at this time how many cattle the applicant plans to graze. Part of this property is within the floodplain and floodway, but our floodplain management ordinance does not regulate livestock within such areas. Any structures to be used for agricultural purposes would be required to meet the city's floodplain management regulations. And fill work would also be required to meet the city's floodplain management regulations. Staff recommends approving the request for rezoning. However, we also recommend the Commission question the applicant about how much livestock, if any, he plans to grave on the land. A large number of livestock may represent an undesired land use for nearby residential uses, such as the Steeplechase subdivision. 3 ,U (if Q Q Q i N i Z3 O co cB Q Date: February 4, 2010 Work Session Agenda Item No: I III -a Subject: I Joint work session with the City Council Originated by: I Rachel Roberts, Planner The plans for the joint work session have changed since the January P &Z meeting. In this work session meeting, the plan is to discuss only briefly the oil & gas ordinance, the guest house regulations, the changes to commercial & industrial zoning districts, and the changes to outside storage regulations (scheduled for public hearing in the Commission's February meeting). A more detailed discussion of each of these items will be held during the Council's March work session. This will allow the Council members plenty of time to review all the material, which is especially important considering the extensive amount of material being sent to them about the oil & gas ordinance. Included with your packet is a copy of the staff report I'm sending to Council. I have not included copies of the ordinance recommendations in your packet, but if you would like an additional copy of any of the recommendations, I will be happy to provide them early next week. The work session is scheduled to begin at 5:30, and the joint work session is the first work session agenda item. If you have any questions about the work session, please let me know. Page 1 of 1 Date: February 3, 2010 Work Session Agenda Item No: I III -a Subject: I Possible amendments to the City of Kennedale city code Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner Since spring of last year, the Planning & Zoning Commission has been working to draft recommendations for revisions to several sections of the city code. The recommendations will be discussed in more detail during future joint work sessions so that the Commission will have the opportunity to receive comments and input from the City Council on these recommendations before they go to public hearing at the council level. The February joint work session will introduce the issues and provide an overview so that the Council can be familiar with the cases before the March joint work session. There are four cases for which the Commission has held or plans to hold public hearings. These cases are as follows: 1. Revisions to the commercial and industrial zoning districts. The Commission began working on this issue as part of the strategic plan. 2. Establishment of guest house regulations. The Commission drafted these recommendations at the request of the Board of Adjustment. 3. Revisions to the outside storage regulations. This has been an item on the Commission's work session agenda since early 2009 and is now moving forward. A public hearing on these recommendations has been scheduled for the Commission's February meeting. A copy of the draft recommendations is included in the packet, but there are a few changes to be made. The Commission has asked staff to amend the recommendations in order to allow for industrial uses to have solid metal fencing, rather than masonry or concrete and to define height requirements more clearly. 4. Revisions to the oil & gas ordinance. The Commission drafted these recommendations based on several factors. First, the Board of Adjustment has asked for some revisions and clarification. Second, city staff has expressed concern and frustration from its dealings with gas operators, and the Commission has attempted to addresses those concerns through its recommendations. Page 1 of 3 Finally, as urban gas drilling has evolved from a new use to an established one through the past several years, unforeseen issues have arisen, and the Commission perceives a need for the city's oil & gas ordinance to be reviewed and revised. Included in your packet is a draft of each of the recommended changes to the city code. We hope the Council will be open to discussing these recommendations during the work session in its March meeting. Notes on recommended changes to the oil & gas ordinance. Because of the weight of this issue, the related handouts in your packet are rather extensive. This section of the staff report will provide an overview of the included documents, as well as a background to the recommendations. Last year, the Planning & Zoning Commission began researching possible changes to Kennedale's oil & gas ordinance. The reasons for revising the ordinance were based on concerns held by members of the Commission, the Board of Adjustment, residents, and city staff. The concerns can be grouped in the following categories: ® Development, current and future o Oil & gas operations represent a form of development, as operators attending the round table meeting stated. Oil & gas operations should therefore be required to meet the same development standards that other kinds of development must meet, and this includes drive approach, drive way, and landscaping standards. o In addition, Kennedale does not have much greenfield land remaining that would be suitable for major development or for future parks and open space. In addition, the city is planning several improvements —for example, the upcoming road improvements and the possible addition of the Fallen Heroes Memorial —that could be negatively affected by the proximity of gas drilling and production. Oil & gas operations, therefore, should be viewed for how they could have an impact on development. All special exception requests must be screened for suitability, and oil & gas operations ought not to be exempt from this process. ® Health & Safety o The health aspects of oil & gas drilling and production continue to be an issue of concern to the Kennedale community and to planning staff. The Planning & Zoning Commission seeks to address these concerns through clarification of the existing ordinance and through the addition of new requirements. ® Environment o Environmental concerns over gas operations have been making news Page 2 of 3 headlines lately and have been a concern to some Kennedale residents. For example, staff and Board of Adjustment members have received calls from residents asking about what steps the city is taking to monitor air quality. The ordinance revisions are meant to address these concerns and to protect the city from unforeseen negative impacts. The revisions are also intended to protect the city's environmental resources that serve or could serve as amenities to the community. For example, providing additional protection to the city's floodplains could help prevent the encroachment of drilling operations into areas the city would like to preserve for future parks and trails. The importance of parks and trails should not be underrated; not only are these resources healthy for environmental quality, they are also recreational amenities that improve the city's image overall. In addition, the Commission and staff believe the oil & gas ordinance should be re- organized, as the current organization can be a bit confusing. After drafting a revised version of the oil & gas ordinance, the Commission asked staff to seek input on the revisions from the four gas operators currently working in Kennedale. Staff sent the draft to the operators, and the companies submitted written comments to us, which are included with this staff report. The city also hosted a round table discussion, attended by representatives from the four operators, representatives from a pipeline company working in Kennedale, a member of the Board of Adjustment, a member of the Planning & Zoning Commission, and city planning staff. An overview of the discussion is also included with this report.
