Rachel Roberts, Board Secretary ic KENNEDALE Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report to the Commissioners www.c rtyo f I<e n n e d a l e.co m Date: September 18, 2014 Agenda Item No: WORK SESSION-A. I. Subject: Update on revisions to the zoning code, including plans for establishing zoning for Urban Villages and Neighborhood Centers II. Originated by: Rachel Roberts, City Planner III.Summary: Employment Center code-- Phase III (expansion into Oak Crest) We have a preliminary schedule of input meetings with our consultant for expanding the Employment Center code, but no dates are yet set. We will let you know when we have a better schedule. I believe the earliest we would meet with the advisory group (made up of representatives from P&Z, Council, and KEDC)would be mid- to-late October. Neighborhood Village Another property owner who lives in the Sublett Neighborhood Village character area has given us comments about code revisions, and this person would like the properties in that area to remain residential. Based on the comments I've received so far, I've begun making some changes to the NC draft code. I'm anticipating we will need a phased approach that will allow development in these areas to occur over time. These particular areas have low demand for the kind of large development that would be needed to develop or redevelop the Neighborhood Villages to fit the comprehensive plan immediately, so we will need to adopt updates the code that allow existing uses to continue and yet be compatible with development on adjacent or surrounding properties within the district. Code revisions should also make it possible for the Neighborhood Villages to develop incrementally yet with the same character. I plan to bring some of the suggested changes to you at the meeting next week so that I may get your comments. IV. Notification: V. Fiscal Impact Summary: VI. Legal Impact: VII.

I. Subject: Discuss item for future consideration 1. Hilltop replat 2. Zoning standards for Old Town II. Originated by: III.Summary: We've met with the engineer for the Hilltop planned development district plat,the developer is ready to move forward with submitting a revised plat. We expect to see the plat submitted within the next month or two. Staff has had an initial meeting with the consultant for the Downtown Village ordinance, and I expect to have a more detailed schedule available soon.

Subject: Discuss ideas for potential changes to the industrial zoning district,to include a discussion of possible rezoning of properties identified in the comprehensive plan as light industrial but not currently zoned for industrial use II. Originated by: Rachel Roberts, City Planner III.Summary: As you may recall,the Future Land Use Plan designates the southwest portion of Kennedale Parkway as Light Industrial. Currently,the properties in this area have both commercial (C-2) and industrial zoning designations. As part of implementing the land use plan, staff would like to begin rezoning properties not currently classified as Industrial so that they will be more in line with the comprehensive plan. Since the city does not have a light industrial zoning classification, we are also beginning the background work for updating the zoning code so that the current Industrial zoning classification is in compliance with the comprehensive plan. You'll see an excerpt from the Future Land Use Plan attached to this report showing the properties we would propose to rezone in the next month or so.These are the properties along Bloxom Park Dr.that are already industrial/manufacturing in nature. At the work session, could you give me your comments on this potential rezoning? If we were to pursue rezoning,what concerns might you have about it? IV. Notification: V. Fiscal Impact Summary: VI.
