CASE # PZ 10 -07 to consider and receive comments regarding a request for a replat of that portion of Municipal Drive vacated by City of Kennedale Ordinance No. 453, being approximately 0.739 acres of land located in the Canzada Rose Survey, A 1285, City of Kennedale, Tarrant County, Texas and of approximately 0.9998 acres located on Kennedale Pkwy, more particularly described as Kennedale Retail Center Addition Block A Lot 8, City of Kennedale, Tarrant County, Texas.

This is not a summons to appear at the public hearing, but if you attend the hearing, you will have the opportunity to speak either for or against the request.

Sincerely, Rachel Roberts Planner 405 Municipal Drive www.cityofkennedale.com PH 817.985.2130 Kennedale, TX 76060 FX 817.483.0720 Staff Report to the Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission Date: July 9, 2010 Work Session Item Number: I -A Subject: I Form -based codes Originated by: ( Rachel Roberts, Planner Bob Hart will attend this part of the meeting to talk about the plans for redeveloping the southwestern areas of the city. Form -based codes will likely be included in the discussions during the comprehensive plan update process. We hope to kick -off the update process later this year. Although the update process won't be used to create the regulating plan for a form -based code, the updated plan will need to be drafted in a way that allows for form -based codes to be established. Staff Report to the Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission Date: I July 5, 2010 Regular Meeting/Public Hearing Item No: I -B Subject: I Sandwich Board Signs Originated by: I Rachel Roberts, Planner Background. As the P &Z Commission has noted, sandwich board signs can make a positive contribution to sense of place, when designed and maintained well and when located correctly; however, they can also be quite junky. They can also block public right -of -way and in some (probably rare) instances, if not secured properly, could become a safety hazard. Our regulations do not require permits for sandwich board signs. Discussion. The city might consider allowing sandwich board signs under the following conditions only: • In TownCenter and for commercial businesses located in commercial zoning districts along Kennedale Parkway within a % mile [or another distance that makes sense] of TownCenter • With a permit that may be revoked for non - compliance, and which must be renewed annually. The permit fee could be set at a low rate, such as for garage sale permits and business licenses. Limiting sandwich board signs to particular areas makes it easier to regulate [at least in theory], as any sandwich board sign spotted elsewhere could be picked up by our code enforcement office without his having to check for a permit —if it's outside the designated area, it's not permitted. Moreover, the TownCenter and surrounding area is slowly being redeveloped to have more of a downtown atmosphere, and sandwich board signs are appropriate for downtown areas, more so than for other parts of a city. Enforcement. Our code compliance officer says the biggest issue with enforcing the sandwich board sign regulations is that the businesses are supposed to bring the signs inside after hours, but they close after city hall has closed, so unless we ask him to stay late or come in on weekends, he can't cite for violations. He has no objection to staying late some evenings or working weekends to check for violations if the city wants him to do so. Some cities ban sandwich board signs, but this can also be difficult to enforce. Staff Report to the Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission Date: July 5, 2010 Work Session Item Number: I -C Subject: Guarantees and Maintenance Bonds for Subdivisions Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner In the June P &Z meeting, the Commission asked me to research maintenance bond extensions and the percentage for them to cover. Our current maintenance bond requirements have the following timeline: • the developer secures a public works construction permit; • the developer constructs the improvements; • the city inspects the improvements during construction; • if approved, a 2 -year maintenance bond is secured by the developer, improvements are accepted, and building permits may be issued. Two options that seem promising for extending the period covered by maintenance bonds are shown below. One is for subdivision improvements in Kerr County, Texas, and the other is for stormwater improvements in Kitsap County, WA. Both examples provide for extensions and a minimum build -out requirement. The Kerr County regulations shown below have been revised; the newer regulations do not include a build -out requirement and do specify a period for how long the maintenance bond may be extended (6 months). In the examples below, the parts dealing with extensions and build -out requirements are underlined. EXAMPLE 1 Kerr County, TX Subdivision Regulations 9.02 Maintenance Bond: The developer shall also file agreement in writing to provide a maintenance bond for two (2) years prior to final subdivision plat. Subdivider shall [furnish] the County a bond, executed by a surety company holding a license to do business in the State of Texas, and acceptable to the County, in an amount equal to ten percent (10 %) of the total cost of the streets, curbs, sidewalks and drainage improvements required to be constructed in said subdivision, as estimated by the design Engineer and approved by the County, conditioned that upon completion thereof, and upon approval of... 9.04 Maintenance Bond Extension: The County may extend the period of time in 9.02 that the developer is responsible for maintenance of a road in a subdivision, until such time a minimum of 20% of the lots in the subdivision are developed and with people living in them EXAMPLE 2 Kitsap County, WA 12.12.060 Maintenance bonds. A maintenance bond is required for residential plats /PUD's and other projects for which maintenance of the storm water facilities and /or roads is ultimately to be taken over by the county. Prior to the final approval of construction and release of any performance i sureties, a maintenance bond must be posted and maintained by the project owner for a period of two years. The maintenance bond shall guarantee the storm water facilities and roads constructed under permit against design defects and /or failures in workmanship, and shall guarantee that the facilities constructed under the permit will be regularly and adequately maintained throughout the maintenance period. At the end of this time, the county will inspect the system and, when the facility is acceptable and eighty percent of the lots in that phase have been improved, the county will take over the maintenance and operations of the system. In the event that eighty percent of the lots in a residential development have not been improved by the end of the two -year maintenance period, the maintenance bond may be extended, subject to the approval of the director, for one additional year (Ord. 199 (1996) § 4.40, 1996) I prefer the more open -ended statement in Kerr County's earlier subdivision regulations, but developers may find it easier to secure maintenance bonds if there is a specified timeframe that would allow for a certain amount of predictability. It may serve the Commission's purpose to say something to the affect that the extensions may be renewed annually for a total maintenance bond period of up to five years, or until such time as eighty percent of the lots are built -out, whichever is sooner. We are still researching this issue and hope to find other relevant examples before the meeting. Staff Report To the Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission Date: July 9, 2010 Work Session Agenda Item No: I -D Subject: List of Items for Future Consideration Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner The intent of this Agenda Item is to maintain 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. a. Green /Environmental Regulations b. Bowman Springs c. Incompatible Zoning Districts /Properties d. Storm Water Ordinances and Creek Ordinances e. Comprehensive Land Use Plan f. Salvage Yard Ordinance g. Overlay Zoning District E Staff Report to the Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission Date: July 9, 2010 Regular Meeting/Public Hearing III Item No: Subject: Case PZ 10 -07 Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner Case PZ 10 -07 to consider and receive comments regarding a request for a replat of that portion of Municipal Drive vacated by City of Kennedale Ordinance No. 453, being approximately 0.739 acres of land located in the Canzada Rose Survey, A 1285, City of Kennedale, Tarrant County, Texas and of approximately 0.9998 acres located on Kennedale Pkwy, more particularly described as Kennedale Retail Center Addition Block A Lot 8, City of Kennedale, Tarrant County, Texas. The replat is required by the City of Kennedale. Background and Overview of Property. Most of Municipal Drive was abandoned by the city earlier this year as part of the TownCenter project, with the intention to use the abandoned road for parking. The regulations of TownCenter's Municipal Management District required the street to be closed in order for the MMD to spend funds on the parking project. Replatting the abandoned road into Lot 8 allows that land to become part of the Kennedale Retail Center Addition and the TownCenter project. Plat drawing and Other Requirements. The land is served by existing utilities and will have access to a public street when the fire lane along the north side of Lot 8 is dedicated for public access. Staff finds no conflict with the comprehensive land use plan. The plat drawing was not yet finished in time to be included with your packets, so I have added this case as a work session item on the agenda, to provide time to review the plat drawing before the public hearing. Recommendation. Staff recommends that the Commission recommend approval of Case PZ 10 -07. NOTE: This plat request may be withdrawn again. We've had some complications with the plat drawing related to easements and to transferring ownership of the property (from the KEDC to the City), and these are taking longer to resolve than we thought they would. Staff Report to the Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission Date: July 8, 2010 Regular Meeting/Public Hearing Item No: N Subject: Case PZ 10 -08 Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner CASE # PZ 10 -08 to receive comments and consider action to amend Chapter 17, Division 2 of the Kennedale city code, by revising the subdivision regulations governing plats. This case is a follow -up to the public hearing to amend the oil and gas ordinance. The proposed amendments included language affecting plats. The subdivision ordinance therefore needs to be amended to ensure that the platting process includes the necessary language concerning oil and gas wells. The proposed amendments are included with the report as Exhibit A; they have not yet been reviewed by the city attorney. If the Commissions recommends approval of the amendments, the city attorney will review the proposed amendments and may make some minor adjustments to them before they are sent to city council. In addition, the proposed amendments have been modified from previous Commission discussions to reflect comments from the recent city council hearing on proposed amendments to the oil and gas ordinance. Staff Report to the Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission Date: July 7, 2010 Regular Meeting Agenda Item No: VI Subject: Update on city projects Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner The proposed amendments to the oil and gas ordinance are scheduled to be considered at the August city council meeting. The public hearing was held last month, so the in the August meeting, the amendments will be considered for approval. At the meeting, staff will provide information about other city projects, including progress on road projects. ommunity Services - Regional Training Center - NCTCOG.org Planning and Zoning Series Description: The North Central Texas Council of Governments is offering a certificate in Billing Address* professional development in Planning and Zoning.

If you have any questions or concerns about the proposed changes, please let me know, and I will be glad to include them with my staff report to the council. Proposed changes: 1. Removed floodplains and floodways from the 600' distance requirement but added a requirement that no drilling, production, or compressor station will be permitted within the 500 -year floodplain 2. Add "or compressor station" to section describing gathering station distance requirements, just to be clear to operators 3. Changed distance from compressor station and gathering station to 2000' 4. Added statement that no drilling, production, or compressor station shall be permitted within four thousand five hundred (4500) feet of an existing gas well, except that existing pad sites may be expanded so that different operators may share space at the same pad site ( "co- location "). Co- locations must have a common drive, common sound walls, and commons screening. 5. Changed "variance" to "special exception" in the section on distance waivers 6. Changed plat statement section from "variance" to "special exception" and from P &Z and council to BOA 7. Changed "director of development services" to "director of public works" under the section on road repair agreements 8. Added a statement that if averaging is used to measure sound levels, time periods for averaging shall not exceed three minutes. 9 Corrected daytime hours for sound levels (8 am to 7 pm) 10. Changed air sampling time section to read as follows: Operators will be assessed a fee at time of permitting to cover the cost of air sampling and shall pay an annual fee each year thereafter to cover additional sampling if required by the city. 11. Added statement that if a well site is adjacent to a planned stormwater drainage detention /retention pond, a frac pond may be required to be constructed, and if required, shall be consistent with the city's drainage and stormwater plan. 12. Added a statement that oil and gas wells are considered an industrial use; hence, adequate fire flow is necessary for public safety. The extension of water lines shall be done consistent with the city's water line extension policy. The operator shall install, at its own expense, a sufficient number of fire hydrants to provide fire protection service to the drill site. The fire hydrant system shall be designed according to the specifications contained in the city's design manual and approved by the fire chief. Fire hydrants shall be located within a five hundred (500) foot hose lay of fire department connections to the protection system(s). 13. Added a statement that when four (4) or fewer waivers are required, if all but one (1) property owners agree in writing to permit drilling or production within the reduced distance, then the operator may apply to the Board of Adjustment for a special exception from the requirement that all affected property owners must agree in writing. [in addition to 2 the 80% rule, because if there are four or fewer property owners, the operator would never reach 80% if there was one property owner objecting] 14. Changed the section requiring a pipeline easement map to read as follows: "Applications for oil and gas well permits shall include a pipeline route map indicating the location of the nearest gathering station and the alignment of the pipehne(s) connecting the operation site to the gathering station and shall include a written acknowledgement from the pipeline company and a copy of the license agreement between the pipeline operator and the city. No deviations from the pipeline route shall be permitted without prior approval from the city." 15. Amended Section 17 -426(f (1) to read: "(1) The development site plan shall provide for adequate temporary sanitation facilities, fire suppression facilities approved by the city fire chief, access roads, drainage, erosion control and other necessary supporting facilities identified on the development site plan. " 16. Amended Section 17 -4260 by adding subsection (7), which reads as follows: "Identify the location of fire mains, including the size of the main, fire hydrants, and fire extinguishment equipment and available fire flow." 17. The operators weren't clear what was required under the added Section 17- 426(h)(4), so we've added this statement to the proposed amendment: "The Board of Adjustment shall review proposed improvements for compliance with Sec. 17 -422 of the city code. Proposed landscaping improvements shall, at a minimum, meet the standards set forth in Chapter 17, Article VIII of the city code. Parking improvements shall meet the standards of the public works design manual for the City of Kennedale." 18. Under Section 17- 426(n)(2), we changed "fencing shall be masonry" to "fencing shall be predominantly masonry," to allow for extra see - through sections (e.g., wrought iron) for security purposes. 19. The section on requiring a vehicular access gates being required within a certain distance from the public road, we've changed the distance from 75 feet to 90 feet because C the operators weren't sure 75' was enough space to accommodate their trucks without it being a very tight squeeze and perhaps blocking some traffic if they have more than one vehicle accessing the site at the same time. 20. Clarified that well servicing and fracing operations are to be conducted Monday through Friday and on Saturdays if they get a waiver from the city (currently our ordinance does not say what days can be used for well servicing and fracing, so by default it's seven days a week). 4 k, V # MAU =P To the Honorable Mayor and City Council Date: July 2, 2010 Agenda Item No: X -H.
