Staff Report
to the Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission
Date: I May 10, 2010
Work Session Agenda Item No: I -A
Subject: Proposed Amendments to the City of Kennedale Oil & Gas
Ordinance
Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner
The oil and gas ordinance amendments are scheduled for public hearing at the May
P &Z meeting; I've included it in the work session, too, in case the Commission has any final
points it wants to discuss prior to the public hearing.
There are a few points to discuss, and we can discuss these during the Regular
Session, if preferred. The discussion points are as follows:
A. Clarification on required distance from protected uses.
Sec. 17- 426(c)(2)
The way it's written (see below), no drilling or production, etc., can take place within
600 feet of a floodplain (and other protected uses /areas). In other words, it's not just the
floodplain that's protected, but 600 feet extending from the floodplain. When we revised this
section, staff's intent was to ensure that residents, local employees, and cultural and
environmental resources were protected, and to make sure that no drilling occurred in the
city's floodplain. However, we had not intended to add another layer of protection to the 600
feet of land extending outside the floodplain.
As you will see on the attached map, factoring in schools, floodplain, and parks, there
isn't much land remaining for drilling. The map does not show habitable structures, which
limit drilling even further. Of course we want to protect the health, safety, and welfare of our
Page 1 of 5
residents and property owners, so drilling locations will necessarily be protected, but since by
law we are required to allow mineral owners access to their minerals, we need to make sure
we leave room to accommodate some drilling.
Note that we've changed the distance requirement as discussed by the Commission
during the January meeting. The proposed amendments now include language allowing
operators to ask the Board of Adjustment for a variance from the 100% waiver requirement if
75% of the affected property owners agree in writing.
Staff recommends that the revised ordinance be recommended to read as follows:
(2) No drilling production, compressors, compressor station or gathering station shall be
permitted within a _floodplain or floodway or within six hundred (600) feet of any habitable
res ideRt structure or public building, institution, ap rk, school, or commercial building for
which a building permit has been issued on the date of the of the application for a drilling permit
is filed with the city, or cultural, historic or archeological resources, or groundwater recharge
areas; or environmentally sensitive areas excluding floodplain or floodways provided, however,
that drilling shall be permitted as close as three hundred (300) feet if all affected property
owners agree in writing. No drilling, production, compressor, compressor station, or gathering
station shall be permitted within three hundred (300) feet of a neighboring property line unless
all affected property owners agree in writing. If seventy -five (75) percent of affected property
owners agree in writing to permit drilling as close as 300 feet, then the operator may apply to
the Board of Adiustment for a variance from the requirement that all affected property owners
must agree in writing.
B. Revoking special exceptions, Sec. 17 -426 (c)(6) and (c -1)(8)
We need to add a remedy section, providing operators the opportunity to come into
compliance. For example, we could allow operators seven days (or 14, or 30) to bring
operations into compliance, depending on the severity of the issue and the length of time they
have been out of compliance.
In addition, in my (non -legal expert) opinion, the language proposed does not specify
that special exceptions expire, but rather that they will be reviewed and may be revoked if the
operations are not in compliance. Staff has no objection to this wording, but I wanted to
make sure we had captured the Commission's intent.
Page 2 of 5
In terms of providing a remedy, we could add the following language to the proposed
revisions:
If city staff determines that non - compliant operations are creating a hazard to health
or safety, staff may require operator(s) to cease activity immediately at the non - compliant site
until the hazard ceases. The operator(s) may apply to the Board of Adjustment to resume
work. If staff or the Board determines that non - compliant operations do not pose an
immediate danger to health or welfare, the Board shall allow operators 30 days to comply.
The operator shall submit to the city for review and approval a plan to remediate the non-
compliant status.
Expiration of special exceptions
Staff drafted the expiration section so that special exceptions do not automatically
expire but rather are simply subject to review. We believe the Commission's intent was for
the special exceptions to expire, and we changed the wording to reflect that intent. Here is
the language we drafted to address this intent:
A special exception for oil or gas drilling or production shall expire two years after it was
granted or the Board of Adjustment may establish a lesser expiration timeline. Before the
expiration of the special exception the operator(s) shall submit to the Board of Adjustment an
application to extend the special exception At that time the Board may consider whether the
drilling or production of oil or gas has been conducted in compliance with all relevant city, state,
and federal regulations and guidelines. Special exceptions may be revoked for drilling or
production operations found to be not in compliance.
If city staff determines that non - compliant operations are creating a hazard to health or safety,
staff may require operator(s) to cease activity immediately...
C. Copies of the permit application
Our current ordinance requires only one copy of the gas well permit application, but
three copies of the emergency response plan and six copies of the site plan. We make
copies of the application and distribute them to appropriate city staff members. I would prefer
us to have three complete copies of the application (one for planning & development, one for
public works, and one for the fire department). I've made that change to the proposed
Page 3 of 5
revisions (see sec. (d- 1)(5)), pending P &Z approval.
D. Definitions: Planned and unplanned flaring; "completion" or "completed"
The Commission should consider defining planned and unplanned flaring so that the
operators will be better able to comply. If approved, we will consult with the city attorney
about how to define these terms.
E. Site Plan
We've added a requirement that the site plan be drawn to scale.
F. Approval of improvements before issuing permits.
As an enforcement tool to ensure operators make the improvements they have stated they
will make, staff recommends that permits not be issued until all required improvements have
been made.
(4) No oil or gas well permit shall be issued unless all improvements required under Sec. 17-
426, including fencing and screening, landscaping, and parking, have been made and
approved by the city.
G. Reduction in 100% requirement
The Commission had agreed to recommend amending the ordinance to allow
operators to apply for a variance from the 100% requirement to allow drilling as close as 300
feet, if 75% of the property owners agree in writing. I've added this to the section on drilling
distances from habitable structures, etc., but I wanted to double -check with the Commission
before adding it to the section on gathering stations. Does the Commission want to
recommend allowing operators to pursue a variance on the distance requirements for
gathering stations?
H. Compliance with development standards
We recommend the ordinance be revised to state that oil and gas operations be
required to comply with all relevant development standards. This recommendation stems
from ongoing issues with operators about whether they have to comply with any regulations
Page 4 of 5
not specifically mentioned in the oil and gas ordinance. Staff have maintained that gas
drilling and related operations are development, so that the city's development standards
apply and that in any case, the special exception requirements demand operators
demonstrate how they will fit the standards for the areas in which they wish to locate. Adding
language that operators must comply with all relevant development standards would settle
this ongoing discussion.
We've added the following language to the draft ordinance and request the
Commission to recommend approval of this addition:
(7) The special exceptions required by this ordinance are in addition to and are not in lieu of
any permit, exception, variance, or other requirements that may be required by any other
provision of the city code or by any other governmental agency.

Staff Report
To the Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission
Date: May 10, 2010
Work Session Agenda Item No: I B
Subject: form -based codes
Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner
Summary:
During the April meeting, the Commission members received books related to form -
based codes. If you've had time to read your book, please be prepared for discussions.
In addition, if the Commission decides which sections of the city would be best - served
by a form -based code, the city can ask UTA for help.

Work Session Agenda Item No: I -C
Subject: Guarantees and Maintenance Bonds for Subdivisions
Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner
Summary:
The Commission did not have time to discuss this item during its March or April meetings.
For your reference, the staff report from the March meeting is provided below.
March 8, 2010 Staff Report
The broker I've been speaking with offers two alternatives to a two -year maintenance
bond. (1) We could require a subdivision bond in addition to the maintenance bond Mr.
Zinecker recommends requiring the developer to escrow funds, stating that "the surety will
like this anyway, if not require it." He added that the surety will probably want to issue the
maintenance bond when the improvements are accepted by the city, rather than waiting for
the two -year time period to start at an uncertain point in the future (at a certain percent build -
out). (2) Consider requiring or accepting a letter of credit instead of the maintenance bond
Because subdivision bonds may be difficult to obtain in Texas due to the limited
number of companies that offer them, if the Commission recommends to Council requiring
subdivision bonds in addition to maintenance bonds, I recommend allowing the developer to
provide a letter of credit instead, if he or she is unable to secure a subdivision bond.
I asked Mr. Zinecker about whether maintenance bonds could be issued for one year
and then renewed in a lesser amount so that developers could have the option of reducing
the bond amount as a subdivision is built out. Here is his response:
Page 1 of 2
If the choice is between a maintenance period in excess of two years and an
annually renewable maintenance period, I believe all sureties would choose the
annually renewable option. Two things: first, I do not know what charge they would
make, so it might be relatively expensive and second, the renewal would have to
be at the surety's option and nonrenewal shall not constitute an event of default.

Work Session Agenda Item No: I -D
Subject: List of Items for Future Consideration
Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner
Summary:
The Commission did not have time to discuss this item during its March or April meetings.
For your reference, the staff report from the March meeting is provided below.
March 18, 2010 Staff Report
During its February meeting, the Commission re- arranged the order in which future work session
items would be considered. The new order is as follows:
a. Storm Water Ordinances and Creek Ordinances
b. Incompatible Zoning Districts /Properties
c. Green /Environmental Regulations
d. Overlay Zoning District
e. Salvage Yard Ordinance
f. Comprehensive Land Use Plan
g. Sandwich Boards: Sign ordinance review
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.
The Commission asked staff to bring information on items I -D(a) and I -D(b) for the March
meeting. I checked the minutes for background information on these two items and was
unable to find anything useful. For example, the minutes state when the stormwater and
creek ordinances were discussed but did not describe what the Commission's concerns
were, so I am therefore unable to determine whether the new proposed stormwater program
would address those concerns.
Could the Commission give me more information during the March meeting? If so, I will have
staff reports prepared in time for the April meeting.

PZ Case 10 -03 to receive comments regarding a proposed ordinance vacating
and abandoning a portion of Bowman Springs Road in the City of Kennedale,
Tarrant County, Texas, declaring that such property is unnecessary for use as a
public right -of -way. Roadway to be vacated and abandoned is more particularly
described as a portion of Lot 1, Block 1, Gaona Addition, a portion of Woodlea
Acres Lot 21-A, Block 1, and a portion of Lot 20, Block 1, Woodlea Acres
Addition, Kennedale, Tarrant County, Texas. Physical addresses are 1022,
1029, and 1021 Bowman Springs Road.
This is a city- initiated case that is part of the Bowman Springs road project. The
property owners along the portion of Bowman Springs shown in the attached exhibit
have petitioned the city to vacate and abandon that section of Bowman Springs.
Generally, when streets are vacated, ownership of the land is granted to the owners of
the property abutting the vacated land. In this case, the city owns one of the abutting
properties and proposes to convey its share of the vacated land to McCaslin Holdings,
the owner of property on the other side of the proposed vacation. In return, McCaslin
Holdings has agreed to convey to the city another section of land needed for the
Bowman Springs road project.

Staff Report
to the Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission
Date: I May 8, 2010
Regular Session /Public Hearing
Item No.: IV
Subject: Case PZ 10 -04
Review and consider action to recommend approval of
proposed amendments to Chapter 17, Sec. 17 -426 of the
Kennedale city code, by revising regulations governing oil and
gas drilling and related operations.
Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner
Since spring of last year, the Planning & Zoning Commission has been working to draft
recommendations for revisions to the oil and gas section of the city code. The Commission
drafted these recommendations based on several factors. First, the Board of Adjustment asked
for some revisions and clarification based on its experiences with gas companies requesting
special exceptions. Second, city staff has expressed concern and frustration from its dealings
with gas operators, and the Commission has attempted to address those concerns through its
recommendations; these concerns are more fully described below. Finally, as urban gas drilling
has evolved from a new use to a more established one during the past several years,
unforeseen issues have arisen, and the Commission perceives a need for the city's oil & gas
ordinance to be updated to resolve those issues.
The concerns voiced by city staff can be grouped in to the following categories:
■ Development, current and future
o Oil & gas operations represent a form of development, as operators
have stated in discussions with staff. Oil & gas operations should
therefore be required to meet the 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
Page 1 of 3
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
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 and provide benefits that are often
overlooked, but they are also recreational amenities that improve the
city's image overall.
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.
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. The comments received from operators have been considered by the Commission, and
its recommendations were revised accordingly.
Included in your packet is a draft of the recommended changes to the city code. The
changes include air sampling and annual inspection fees.
Finally, the Commission has mentioned that the ordering of the oil & gas ordinance can
Page 2 of 3
be confusing and suggested that staff revise the ordinance so that it is easier for operators (and
others) to find relevant information. We have rearranged some sections and hope this will help
resolve the issue. We are also asking the city attorney to help with additional revisions that may
be needed. If he has any recommendations before the meeting, we will provide you copies of
his recommendations.
A copy of the proposed revisions to the Kennedale city code is attached to this report
as Exhibit A. Staff recommends that the fees be listed in the city's fee schedule instead of in
the oil and gas ordinance, which will make updating the fee schedule easier. The
amendment to the fee schedule and to the subdivision regulations was not advertised and will
be placed on the agenda for public hearing at the Commission's July meeting, if it meets with
the Commission's approval. The proposed language for these amendments is included in
Exhibit B, attached to this staff report.
At the meeting, we will have language for you to guide you with your motion, for your
reference. Of course you will not be obligated to use the motion language provided.
