small retail business is located. City staff would classify this business as a convenience
store, a use recently added to the city's Schedule of Uses and permitted only in "C -1"
Restricted Commercial zoning districts. The property is zoned Industrial, and the owner
is applying to rezone the property to "C-1".
The properties on either side of the subject site are zoned Industrial (see
attached excerpt from the zoning map), but these Industrial zoned properties are
sandwiched between Commercial zoned properties on Kennedale Parkway (see map).
[NOTE: The public notice for this hearing stated the property was zoned "C -2 "; it is
actually zoned "I ". Because the requested zoning was shown correctly and because the
requested zoning is less permissive than the current zoning district, I believe the public
has the information it needs to have received notice.]
Comprehensive plan.
Staff reviewed the request for compliance with the comprehensive plan. The
future land use plan shows this area as Commercial. While from one perspective
granting a request for rezoning might be considered spot zoning because the properties
around it are zoned Industrial, the Future Land Use Map indicates the properties in this
area should be rezoned or redeveloped as "Commercial." Rezoning to commercial
would therefore be in compliance with the Future Land Use Plan. Both C -1 and C -2
uses fit the Commercial designation. (The Future Land Use Map does not designate
different levels of Commercial; all commercial /retail properties are classified the same
way.) The Future Land Use Map may be considered somewhat flexible, but it gives an
illustration of the vision contained in the rest of the comprehensive plan. Staff's
interpretation of the comprehensive plan is that this part of Kennedale Parkway is
intended to become more commercial in terms of land use, and less industrial.
Recommendation.
Staff recommends the Commission forward a recommendation to city council to
approve the request for rezoning.

Agenda Item No: IV
Subject: Case PZ 11 -03
Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner
CASE # PZ 11 -03 to review, receive comments, and consider
action on a request for a change in zoning from "C -1" Restricted
Commercial to "C -2" General Commercial" for approximately 2.5
acres located at 716 E Kennedale Pkwy, Kennedale, Tarrant
County, Texas, more particularly described as C.A. Boaz
Subdivision of J B Renfro Survey, Blk Lot 14R4. The rezoning is
requested by See Eang Eng.
Attachments: excerpt from zoning map
excerpt from Future Land Use Plan
proposed site plan
Background and Overview.
In 2007, a lighting company wanted to open a showroom and retail store
at this location and requested a rezoning of the property. At that time, the
property was zoned C -2 and R -3. The applicant requested the property be
rezoned so that all the property would be C -2. The city council approved a
rezoning in May 2007 but granted a C -1 zoning instead of the requested C -2,
possibly due to a concern from a residential property owner who lives on
Mansfield Cardinal.
See Eang Eng is co -owner of P.U. Tech Spoiler, a company that
manufactures and distributes spoilers nationally and internationally. His
company would like to open a 35,000 square feet distribution center at this
location (no manufacturing would take place). Kennedale's Schedule of Uses
permits large distribution centers (defined as a distribution centers larger than
5,000 square feet) in C -2 zoning districts with a special exception. Mr. Eng is
also applying for the required special exception; the special exception process is
intended to ensure that operations, if permitted, would be compatible with
surrounding uses.
The properties on this part of Kennedale Parkway are all zoned C -2
General Commercial. Immediately behind the subject property on Mansfield
Cardinal are properties zoned R -3 Residential.
Comprehensive Plan Review.
The Future Land Use Map shows this area as commercial but does not
provide a description of the intensity of commercial uses, indicating that any of
the city's commercial zoning designations would comply with this part of the
comprehensive plan.
The city's comprehensive plan describes the Kennedale Parkway
Commercial Corridor but does not describe the type of commercial development
envisioned for this area. Goal 2 of the plan is to "[e]ncourage the establishment
of new commercial businesses and the expansion of existing businesses ";
according to the comprehensive plan, this goal should be achieved by
encouraging retail along Kennedale Parkway. However, the plan does not rule
out non - retail commercial uses. In addition, this property is close to the
Industrial -zoned properties along the southeastern end of Kennedale Parkway;
C -2 uses can provide a buffer between Industrial uses and more retail- oriented
commercial uses farther up the Parkway. This kind of buffer is recommended in
the comprehensive plan.
Staff believes the requested rezoning would comply with the
comprehensive plan.
Other Factors to Consider.
If the city approves the requested rezoning but the business decides not to
buy the property, then any business allowed in C -2 zoning districts will be
permitted at this location.
City code requires screening between incompatible zoning districts, with
the responsibility for installing and maintaining the screening resting with the
owner of property in the less restrictive zoning district. For example, in this case,
the owner of the property in question under Case PZ 11 -03 would be required to
screen the property where it abuts the R -3 zoned property to the rear at the time
of development and prior to the business receiving a certificate of occupancy. An
excerpt from the city code governing screening of incompatible uses is provided
here for your reference.
Sec, 17 -425 [amended 2010]. Screening requirements.
(a) Screening required between incompatible zoning districts. Insofar as
practical screening must be erected placed grown and maintained along
the common boundary line of incompatible zoning districts before any use
is made of the property. This screening requirement shall be the
responsibility of the owner of the less restrictive district with the
agricultural and single family residential districts (AG, R -1, R -2, and R -3
districts) being the most restrictive and the industrial district being the
least restrictive district...
Such screening shall not be less than six (6) feet in height nor greater
than eight (8) feet in height. However, no fence wall or hedge on a corner
lot shall have a height in conflict with the regulations governing visibility at
intersections as prescribed in section 1746(c)(5) of this article.
The comprehensive plan describes how commercial development along
Kennedale Parkway should be pursued. It says: "The City of Kennedale should
aggressively pursue the corridor principles. The corridor principles of shared
access, increased landscaping and coordination of building facades will
transform these existing commercial areas into more aesthetically pleasing
spaces which will encourage repeat business and improve the economic viability
of the businesses." City staff have met with TxDOT and with the engineer hired
by the applicant; we discussed the required shared access and developed a plan
for proceeding. Owners of property on Kennedale Parkway within 100' of the
subject property will be notified that TxDOT may require them to have a shared
access point and that we would like to work together to develop a shared access
plan. As to the principle of increased landscaping for commercial development,
the applicant has hired a landscape architect to design the required landscaping
(see enclosed concept site plan).
Summary and Recommendation.
A C -2 zoning designation would not conflict with the Comprehensive Land
Use Plan and would be compatible with the surrounding uses on Kennedale
Parkway. In order for the applicant to use the property for a distribution center,
he will also need to receive a special exception, which is intended to ensure the
use will be compatible with the existing uses nearby. Staff recommends
approving the request for rezoning on the condition that the applicant also
receives the necessary special exception. The applicant will have a special
exception public hearing prior to the city council public hearing on this matter in
April.

Date:
March 6, 2011
Agenda Item No: V
Subject: Case PZ 11 -04
Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner
CASE # PZ 11 -04 to review, receive comments, and consider action on a
proposed ordinance vacating and abandoning a portion of Gilman Road
in the City of Kennedale, Tarrant County, Texas, and declaring that
such property is unnecessary for use as a public right -of -way; and
reserving a public utility easement. Roadway to be vacated and
abandoned is more particularly described as a 0.255 acre strip of land in
the David Strickland Survey, A -1376, being a portion of a tract of land
conveyed to the City of Kennedale by deed recorded in Volume 10552,
Page 1622, Deed Records of Tarrant County, Texas, said strip of land
being used as right -of -way for Gilman Road. The land is adjacent to
property with physical address 1384 Gilman Road.
Attachments: Exhibits A and B from Teague, Nall and Perkins
Illustration showing 0.26 acres to be vacated and 0.75 acres
for Gilman Road extension
Background and Overview.
The city owns a strip of land at the end of the existing Gilman Road (see
attached exhibits). This land was originally intended to be used to extend Gilman
Road to the Fort Worth Tower property as part of a subdivision that was
abandoned. CMC Rebar owns Rebar Lane, a private access lane extending
from the end of Gilman Lane to the frontage road for 1 -20. The city has an
opportunity to extend Gilman Road along this private road instead, which would
be a much more useful connection. As it is built now, Gilman Road is not a
through street, as the only public access is where Gilman Road meets
i
Kennedale Parkway. Once the city builds Rebar Lane as part of Gilman Road,
then Gilman Road will become a through street, having public access from both
Kennedale Parkway and the 1 -20 frontage road. CIVIC Rebar has agreed to
dedicate Rebar Lane as a public street, and in return the city will vacate the
approximately 0.26 -acre unbuilt section of Gilman Road depicted in the attached
exhibits.
Summary and Recommendation.
Staff recommends forwarding a recommendation to city council to
abandon the right -of -way described above.

n the two years since the Local Government Commission's Sinart Growth
Zoning Codes: A Resource Guide was first published, the movement to
reform zoning codes has gained momentum. Today, form -based codes
have become an increasingly popular approach to achieve these reforms and
create communities where people want to live, work and play.
The old adage "form follows function" describes the common approach
behind land use regulation as it has been practiced in the past. Form -based
codes turn that relationship on its head. Since the primary basis for regulation
is the buildings, not the uses, "function follows form." These codes concentrate
first on the visual aspect of development: building height and bulk, facade
treatments, the location of parking, and the relationship of the buildings to
the street and to one another. Simply put, form -based codes emphasize the
appearance and qualities of the public realm, the places created by buildings.
As with other smart growth concepts, form -based codes have been applied
in new growth areas, in existing neighborhoods, in limited situations to
special districts, and in wholesale code revisions for entire communities.
• • _11 11 • • -
he focus on building and
street design in form -based
codes allows graphics and
photos - instead of lengthy, repeti-
tive text - to explain the details of
zoning requirements. In turn, these
codes are much more democratic
instruments, because they are more
readily understood by residents
who are not otherwise involved in
land use or development professions.
conventional codes usually include
this information in several different
sections of the code, sometimes
even in side documents that may
not be readily apparent or available
to the inexperienced user.
By consolidating information and
using a simple pictorial style that
avoids jargon and complex, repeti-
tive language, form -based codes
offer a much more accessible format.
Better, faster, cheaper process
This clarity of format and intent
can lead to a shift in approval
processing from a hearing -heavy
process to one that is largely
administrative. Simply put, if all the
details are discussed and clarified
when the code is developed, and
if they are accurately represented
in a format that leaves no doubt as
to the requirements, then a "build -
by- right" approach is possible.
Pictures tell the story
Form -based codes can greatly
reduce discussions about the
meaning of zoning terms and
arguments over the interpretation
of code language, allowing every-
body involved in a public partici-
pation process to focus their time
and energy on the essence of the
regulations, rather than on "word -
smithing." Using form -based codes,
a picture really can be worth a
thousand words.
Easy -to -find information
Another improvement offered by
form -based codes is that they
contain all relevant information
in a concise format. By contrast,
IM Great for mixing uses
Another key characteristic of
form -based codes is the way they
treat different use types. Since
the dawn of zoning, conventional
codes were built around the
concept of separating uses. They
seldom allow uses from a different
category (retail, single - family,
multi - family, office, etc.) within
the same zoning district.
When uses from different categories
are proposed by project developers,
extra processes and additional
hearings are often required. In
contrast, form -based codes assume
a mix of uses, especially in
neighborhood or town centers.
This means the review of a project
application follows procedures
similar to those for obtaining
building permits. If the proposed
project meets all of the code's
requirements, the application can
be approved administratively.
Obviously, this reduces time,
expense and uncertainty for the
developer, but it also reduces
processing and hearing costs for
the jurisdiction involved. This
can free up staff time for more
proactive planning.
Forin -based codes use pictures
to tell the store.

ow does a community
go about preparing a
form -based code? What
are the steps that need to be taken
to prepare a form -based code?
According to planner Paul
Crawford, one of the nation's
experts on form -based codes,
the typical steps are required to
prepare this type of code include:
Existing conditions
analysis and inventory
Before embarking on development
of the code it is critical to under-
stand clearly what the existing
patterns of development are in a
commnunity. This record of existing
conditions — especially of areas that
the community identifies as special,
or significant — can help develop a
code that fits local characteristics.
Using diagrams and notes, a typical
analysis will look at:
Street types (by setback, walk-
way, roadway, and landscape)
Block types (shape, size, alleys,
parcelization)
➢ Building types (footprint,
profile, streetfront, access by
car or pedestrian, service areas)
Open space types (front,
back and side yards, squares
and parks, undeveloped
parcels with urban zoning)
➢ Parking types and location
(parallel, diagonal, lots)
Natural features (creeks, signif-
icant trees, views, hills, etc.)
Z Public visioning
and charrette
Input from the community is
gathered early in the process
through a public visioning and
charrette process.
The charrette is a collaborative
planning process that brings
together residents and design
professionals in an intensive multi -
day process that typically includes
focus group meetings, workshops,
presentations, and public engage-
ment exercises to develop a feasi-
ble plan for future revitalization
and development.
city into opeii space, residerntial
areas, cornniercial corridors
arid coinrrieicial districts.
3 Determine appropriate
spatial basis for regulation
(districts, transect, streets
or special zones)
There are a number of different
approaches that can be taken in
determining how the form -based
code will be defined and regulated.
Although there is some overlap
between these approaches,
Crawford describes four basic
alternatives that are typically used
by different practitioners:
➢ Neighborhoods, districts,
corridors
Transect
➢ Street -based regulating plan
Special purpose zones
This process entails identifying
which parts of the community are
appropriate for different types of
development. For example, if the
transect -based approach is used the
plan would identify those areas
that are suburban (T3), general

City of Soriotna's developrneut code update
Hercules, California
he "Regulating Code,"
adopted for the small city
of Hercules across the bay
from San Francisco in the summer
of 2001, is similar to another pre-
pared by the same firm for the
City of Winter Springs, in Florida.
Intended to foster smart growth
development in newly created
town centers, both codes have
been extremely successful,
immediately triggering develop-
ment projects conforming to the
principles and details embodied
in the code.
The Hercules code covers four
districts in the central part of
town. It includes eight street
types, though not all will appear
in each zone. The use table is a
mercifully short three pages, with
a half -page of footnotes. Four
times that number of pages are
devoted to facade details and
architectural standards.
This architectural material features
photographs and drawings of
desired and unwelcome features,
signs, porches, trim and so on.
These details precede the use
tables in the code, consistent with
form -based codes' emphasis on
building form and the public
realm.
One page is devoted to each street
type, detailing streetscape features
such as pavement width, curbs, on-
street parking, landscaping, corner
radii, sidewalks, building setbacks,
eaves, awnings and balconies.
This format allows the user to
quickly access all the most relevant
requirements and standards for a
piece of property, just by referenc-
ing the street type that fronts the
property.
Hercules' new Regulating Code
has clearly been a success. Since
its adoption, development has
flourished in the area it covers.
Several traditional- appearing
residential projects have been built,
with a total of 300 units, and
construction is under way on the
first phase of the main street area
of the Waterfront District.
That main street building includes
fifteen 2,700- square -foot owner-
ship units with commercial space
on the ground floor and two -story
townhouse units above. The single -
family projects include a number
of creatively designed duplex,
triplex, and fourplex units that
blend in very well with the sur-
rounding housing. Building styles
are varied.
The structures, landscaping, street
design, and even the street lamps
have design details specified in the
code. This thorough approach to
the details can make all the differ-
ence in the finished appearance
and appeal of a project.

Dover, Kohl & Partners
Attractive tiety homes in Hercules look out onto the Sait Francisco Bay.
arge -scale revisions of zoning codes always have the potential for
unanticipated problems, whether a form -based approach, or a
more conventionally structured code built around smart growth
principles, is used. The need to monitor and revise these new codes after
they are adopted must not be overlooked with any format. With form -
based codes, these problems will likely surface when the underlying basis
for regulation is changed from a focus on uses within and around buildings
to a focus on the structures first.
Form -based codes require re- educating everyone in the community —
elected and appointed officials, planners, engineers, developers and residents.
This begins with a broad public participation effort as the code is developed,
of course, but it must also continue after the code is adopted. Code modi-
fications should be expected over time, and must be explained to everyone
involved. Some cities have hired an architect or urban designer to work
with builders and developers to help implement the code's objectives.
This education — particularly of staff — will help reassure developers and
the public that application approvals will meet the code's intent. If code
reform streamlines the process in a way that eliminates hearing check-
points, people must be confident that staff are trained to properly assess
whether proposed projects comply with detail requirements in the code.
