Agenda Item No: III
Subject: Case PZ 10 -14
Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner
Michele Berry, Intern
CASE # PZ 10 -14 to receive comments and consider action to amend
Chapter 17, Section 17- 426(c)(2) of the Kennedale city code, by amending
regulations governing distance between padsites and by amending the
requirements for drilling permit applications.
ATTACHMENT(S): Exhibit A, proposed ordinance
PAD SITE SPACING
The city's recently- adopted amendments to the oil & gas regulations included a minimum
spacing requirement between padsites. When the city calculated what the minimum distance
should be, it was not the city's intention to prohibit Chesapeake Operating from pursuing its
application to drill at a site off Bolen Road. The distance limitation adopted by the city, however,
will prohibit Chesapeake from pursuing a special exception and permit for the Bolen Road
padsite. City staff requests an amendment to the oil and gas ordinance, reducing the distance
requirement so that Chesapeake can proceed with its request. The amendment request is not
an endorsement of Chesapeake's proposed drilling activities and is made only to correct an
oversight.
The current ordinance language and proposed amended language are as follows (see
also attached proposed amendment, "Exhibit A "):
CURRENT:
No drilling or production site or compressor station shall be permitted within four thousand
five hundred (4500) feet of an existing drill site or compressor station...
PROPOSED:
No drilling or production site or compressor station shall be permitted within three thousand
five hundred (3500) feet of an existing drill site or compressor station...
REQUIREMENT FOR DRILLING PERMIT APPLICATIONS
The recently- adopted amendments also require operators to include a copy of the drilling
permit application from the Railroad Commission (RRC) as part of their applications to the city.
Operators pointed out to city staff that it is difficult for them to pursue an application from the
RRC for padsites that have not yet been permitted by the city. Operators have no way to know
whether the city will grant the special exception to drill, and obtaining all necessary leases and
performing all necessary work to get the RRC permit is a burdensome and expensive process
for them to perform when they don't know whether the city will actually permit drilling for a
particular site. The operators asked staff to consider requesting P &Z and the council to remove
this provision from the oil & gas regulations. We are open to some flexibility but also want to
ensure the operators are applying for a site that can be approved by the RRC. The City of Fort
Worth does not require a copy of the RRC permit to be submitted to the city with the city
application, but they do require a copy of the operator's application to the RRC. They also will
not issue the city permit until the RRC permit has been issued. Staff recommends Kennedale
adopt a similar requirement.
The current ordinance language and proposed amended language are as follows (see
also attached proposed amendment, "Exhibit A "):
CURRENT:
(h) A copy of the approved railroad commission permit to drill, together with
attachments and survey plats, which are applicable to the drill and operation- sites.
Page 2 of 7
-��
(h) A copy of the application to the railroad commission for a permit to drill, together with
attachments and survey plats, which are applicable to the drill and operation- sites. No
drilling permit will be issued by the city until the operator has submitted to the city a copy of
the appropriate permit(s) to drill from the railroad commission.

i

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KENNEDALE, TEXAS:
SECTION 1.
Section 17- 426(c)(2) of the Kennedale City Code is hereby amended to read as follows
Page 4 of 7
(c) Oil and gas well drilling and production by special exception.
The drilling and production of oil and gas within the corporate limits of the city shall be permitted
by special exception, which shall be subject to the following:
(2) No drilling, production, compressors, compressor station or gathering station shall be
permitted within the floodway or 500 -year floodplain as defined by FEMA or within six
hundred (600) feet of any cultural, historic or archeological resources, or groundwater
recharge areas; or environmentally sensitive areas excluding floodplain or floodways; or
within six hundred (600) feet of any habitable structure or public building, institution, park,
school, or commercial building for which a building permit has been issued on or before the
date the application for a drilling permit is filed with the city; provided, however, that drilling
shall be permitted as close as three hundred (300) feet if all affected property owners agree
in writing. The distance shall be calculated from the well bore, in a straight line, without
regard to intervening structures or objects, to the primary structure of the protected use or
park boundary.
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 eighty (80) percent of affected property owners agree in
writing to permit drilling as close as 300 feet or within 300 feet of a neighboring property line,
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. 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.
No drilling or production site or compressor station shall be permitted within three thousand
five hundred (3,500) feet of an existing drill site or compressor station, 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.

commission.
SECTION 3.
This ordinance shall be cumulative of all provisions of ordinances and the Code of the
City of Kennedale, Texas, except where the provisions of this ordinance are in direct conflict
with the provisions of such and Code, in which event the conflicting provisions of such
ordinances and Code are hereby repealed.

sentences, paragraphs, and sections of this ordinance are severable, and if any phrase, clause
sentence, paragraph or section of this ordinance shall be declared unconstitutional by the valid
judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, such unconstitutionality shall not

or section.

violations of the provisions of Chapter 17 of the Kennedale City Code (1992), as amended, or

Date:
November 30, 2010
Agenda Item No: IV
Subject: Case PZ 10 -15
Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner
Michele Berry, Intern
CASE # PZ 10 -15 to receive comments and consider action to amend Chapter 17,
Section 17 -421 of the Kennedale city code, by amending the schedule of uses.
ATTACHMENTS:
• List of definitions for convenience store used by other cities
• Proposed ordinance amending the city code
BACKGROUND
The recent election to allow alcohol sales in Kennedale created a need to update
our city code to include regulations for uses that previously would not have been
permitted (e.g., wineries, package stores). Since that time,. staff realized that changes
to the zoning code are still needed. We have already received two applications from
existing convenience stores to sell alcohol. However, convenience stores are not
recognized or defined by the schedule of uses in the code. Instead, these businesses
are classified as "service stations." "Service station" is a term more applicable to gas
stations that offer auto repairs /service, and service stations are not common uses
anymore. Instead, most gas stations also include a convenience store, rather than a
service center. Convenience stores can also be stand -alone businesses that do not sell
gas. Because this use is not included in our Schedule of Uses, it is difficult for the city to
determine which zoning regulations apply to such businesses, especially existing
businesses that are classified as service stations but really are not. Convenience stores
should be added to the schedule of uses and defined in Chapter 17.
On the last page of this staff report, we've included definitions used in several
cities in the region. Below please find the definition recommended by staff, and following
this staff report please find the proposed ordinance amending the city code.
In addition to addressing convenience stores, this is a good opportunity for the
Commission to consider the appropriate zoning for gas stations /service stations.
Currently, service stations are zoned "C -2 ". Much of Kennedale Parkway is zoned C -2,
and this use is not appropriate for much of the Parkway. Staff requests the Commission
to consider making a recommendation to City Council that service stations be limited to
"C -1" zoning districts only.
NON - CONFORMING USES
There are six service stations operating in Kennedale, one of which is already
zoned C -1. The five remaining service stations will be encouraged to apply for C -1
zoning, as they are all located on the Parkway, and staff does not believe that a rezoning
of these properties from C -2 to C -1 would be in conflict with the comprehensive plan
(one of these service stations has already applied for rezoning; see Case PZ 10 -16).
If the Commission and Council approve amending the Schedule of Uses so that
service stations are allowed in C -1 districts only, any of the service stations that choose
not to pursue rezoning to C -1 will become non - conforming uses. Theses uses will be
allowed to continue in operation under the non - conforming use regulations in Sec. 17-
428 of the Kennedale city code.
The expected QuikTrip development is to be on property zoned PD with an
underlying C -1 zoning and would not be affected by the proposed change to the
Schedule of Uses.
CITY RECOMMENDATION
• Definition:
Define convenience store as follows: Convenience store means a small retail store (not
a grocery store) offering the sale of convenience goods such as prepackaged food
products, household items, and other goods commonly associated with the same which
may also provide gasoline / petroleum products as a primary or secondary use.
• Zoning:
Permit convenience stores in C -1 zoning districts only.
Permit service stations in C -1 zoning districts only.
Please note that for zoning, the city cannot distinguish between convenience stores and
service stations that sell alcohol and those that do not.

amount of prepackaged food items are primarily sold as a quick service facility. The self -
service sale of automobile fuel with maximum fuel service pump units to serve no more

convenience store.
Richland Hills:
Convenience store, with or without fuel sales, means any premises offering as a
convenience store the sale of prepackaged food products, household items, and other
goods commonly associated with the same which may also provide petroleum products
as a primary or secondary use.
Saginaw:

associated with another use, that offers for sale convenience goods, such as
prepackaged food items, tobacco, periodicals, and other household goods.

CASE # PZ 10 -16 to receive comments and consider a request for a zone
change of approximately 0.2 acres at Tr 3E Abst 1260 Jesse B. Renfro Survey
(100 E Kennedale Pkwy) from "C2" General Commercial to "Cl" Restricted
Commercial. The zone change is requested by Alnasir Dhalla of Lanar, Inc.
ATTACHMENT(S):
• Exhibit A, legal description
• Exhibit B, illustration /map of property
• Exhibit C, excerpt from Zoning Map
• Exhibit D, excerpt from Future Land Use Plan
• Exhibit E, proposed ordinance
BACKGROUND
In Case PZ 10 -15, the city proposed to change the zoning ordinance to define
and classify zoning for Convenience stores, a use not previously included in our zoning
ordinance. Convenience stores, when defined and added to the schedule of uses, are
proposed to be allowed in areas zoned C1. Alnasir Dhalla of Lanar Inc currently
operates a convenience store located on property zoned C2. If the proposed changes to
the ordinance are made, the store would become a non - conforming use. To avoid any
potential conflicts that may arise, Mr. Dhalla has requested a zone change from C2 to
C1. No change in the actual land use is being proposed, simply a change in the zoning
classification.
COMPLIANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The zone change would be in compliance with the comprehensive land use plan.
The property is located on Kennedale Parkway between the intersections with New
Hope Road and Short Street (see attached Exhibit B). The property is designated
"Commercial" in the future land use plan and comprehensive plan, which is defined to
include "a broad range of retail sales, retail service, office, mixed -use office /retail, small
business, restaurants, entertainment uses and other commercial business
establishments." Mr. Dhalla's convenience store fits this classification, and the change
from C2 to C1 will not affect the commercial use of the property.
711 WI
The property to the immediate south of the subject property is zoned C -2.
Properties to the immediate west and northwest are zoned C -1.
The planning staff recommends approval of this zone change. It is in compliance
with the comprehensive land use plan, and staff has encouraged Mr. Dhalla to pursue
this zone change as a way to avoid future problems and to prevent his store from
becoming a non - conforming use *.
*Please note that a rezoning does not remove any other existing non - conforming status
on the property. For example, if the existing building is non - conforming due to
insufficient setbacks, rezoning the property will not remove the setback
nonconformance.
