Subject: Discuss Meeting Dates for Planning&Zoning Commission Regular Meetings II. Originated by: Rachel Roberts, City Planner III.Summary: The Commission has an opportunity to change its regular meeting date now that the City Council has changed its meeting date. I checked the 2015 calendar for the timing between the Commission and Council meetings if you were to change your meeting date.The time between meetings is as follows. Under the current schedule (the 3rd Thursday of each month),the time between your meeting and Council's varies from 4 days between meetings to 3 weeks and 4 days. Changing to the 2nd Thursday of each month would result in a spacing of either 4 days or 11 days, depending on the month. Changing to the 2nd Monday of each month would leave 1 week between Commission and Council meetings. Another option is to switch to the 4th Thursday of each month. This arrangement would leave several weeks between a Commission meeting and the following Council meeting, but you would need to reschedule your November and December meetings this year to work around the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. It may be best for the Commission to leave your regular meeting date as-is. However, if the Commission would prefer to change meeting dates to decrease the decision time on cases, either the 2nd Thursday or 2nd Monday would work for that purpose. IV. Notification: V.

Case PZ 14-10 Consideration of Ordinance approval regarding a request by the City of Kennedale to amend Section 17-430(1) "Authorized Special Exceptions"and Section 17-431 "Definitions"of Article VI "Zoning"of Chapter 17 "Planning and Land Development"of the Kennedale City Code to authorize the Board of Adjustment to grant special exceptions for special functions in single family residential districts. Ms. Roberts said that she amended the draft ordinance based on prior concerns mentioned by the commission after its public hearing on this item in December. The commission discussed elements of the ordinance, such as the amount of guests, plans to be submitted, parking requirements, screening guidelines, lighting, noise standards, amount of events held per year, hours of operation, density in the area, TABC regulations serving alcoholic beverages, and giving two notices to neighbors before events. The commission directed Ms. Roberts to amend the draft ordinance per their discussion. Ms. Roberts read aloud the changes to the ordinance requested by the commission. Mr. Pirtle motioned to approve as noted and read. The motion was seconded by Mr. Browne and passed with four approvals and Mr. Gilley opposed. B. CASE# PZ 14-12 Public hearing and consideration of Ordinance approval regarding a request by the City of Kennedale for a zoning change for approximately 19.46 acres from "AG" Agricultural district to "PD" Planned Development district at 1001 Corry A Edwards Dr, an unaddressed parcel on Bowman Springs Rd, 1021 Bowman Springs Rd, & 1083 Bowman Springs Rd, legal description of Woodlea Acres Addn Bilk 1 Lots 18A, 18B, 19R,and 20R1. 1.Staff presentation Ms. Roberts said the City wants to initiate a rezoning since "AG" is not a suitable zoning district, and the Neighborhood and Parks character districts identified in the comprehensive plan are not feasible for this area. She stated staff suggests rezoning as a "PD" Planned Development district to allow single family, church, and educational related uses. Mr. Harvey suggested using the rezoning to establish this area as part of the Urban Village designated in the Future Land Use Map for the nearby intersection of Bowman Springs and Kennedale Parkway. 2. Public hearing No one registered to speak. 3.Staff summary and response Staff recommended approval. The commission took a five minute break so Ms. Roberts could get for them a copy of the ideas for the Urban Village that the commission had worked on before. The meeting continued at 8:05 P.M. The commission members read through the concepts for the Urban Village and noted which of those concepts they wanted added to the draft ordinance for PZ 14-12. 4.Action by the Planning&Zoning Commission Ms. Roberts read aloud the changes to the ordinance requested by the commission. Mr. Pirtle motioned to approve with amendments as read by the city planner. The motion was seconded by Mr. Gilley and passed with all in favor except Mr. Harvey, who abstained from voting. X.

Subject: CASE#PZ 15-01 Public hearing and consideration of Ordinance approval regarding a request by Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.for a zoning change from "C-0" Retail commercial district to "C-1" Restricted commercial district for approximately 1.014 acres at 4850 US 287 Hwy, legal description of Southwest Crossing Addition Block 1R Lot 2. 1. Staff presentation 2. Applicant presentation 3. Public hearing 4. Applicant response 5. Staff response and summary 6. Action by the Planning&Zoning Commission II. Originated by: Rachel Roberts, City Planner III.Summary: Request: rezone from "C-O"to "C-1" Location: 4850 US Hwy 287 (off the frontage road and Little School Rd) Applicant:Wal-Mart Stores, Inc Surrounding uses: surrounding uses are all commercial --big box retail, commercial strip center with various typical strip center businesses (restaurant, nail salon, retail), and bank Background. This property is the last empty padsite at the Wal-Mart. It is bordered to the north by US 287,to the east by Little School Rd,to the south by EECU (credit union), and to the west by Wal-Mart. The property can be served by existing curb cuts off the 287 frontage road and Little School Rd, so no additional curb cuts would be needed for new development. The property would be served by Arlington water and sewer utilities.The existing detention pond was designed to serve the entire development, including this padsite, and should be sufficient. When this property was originally approved for the Wal-Mart development, Wal-Mart had represented that all the padsites would be retail sites. One of the padsites, however, was sold to a bank (EECU).The City subsequently rezoned the subject property as C-0 Retail Commercial to ensure the remaining lot would indeed have a retail use. In 2011, Chase Bank applied for a rezoning to C-1;the request was denied. Staff Review. Compliance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. This property is included in an area designated as Urban Village in the Future Land Use Plan.This Urban Village stretches from the city limits at the US 287 frontage road down to Potomac (see attached excerpt from the FLUP). Most of the properties in the Urban Village characer district are already developed. Creation of an Urban Village,therefore, is envisioned to occur over time--keeping in mind that a comprehensive plan typically covers a 20-year time frame. As the Commission is aware,the Zoning Code does not have any zoning districts that fit the Urban Village character. In terms of uses, C-1 uses are commercial and would fit the Urban Village concept. The area will gradually transition to an Urban Village character as redevelopment and infill development occur. In the meantime,the city must look for ways to allow uses of property now while laying the groundwork for the Urban Village.The city should explore using infrastructure requirements to spur the transition --for example, requiring pedestrian connections between uses as new uses occur. At the current time, though, we do not have these requirements in place, and a straight rezoning request (e.g., not a request for a planned development district) does not allow the City to add infrastructure requirements as part of zoning approval. Compliance with the Strategic Plan. Several of the goals of the strategic plan are related to attracting businesses.The plan's strategies and action steps,though, are tied to developing TownCenter, creating a TIF district, and establishing a business park or industrial park. No consideration is given to establishing a retail or commercial district in the part of the city where this rezoning is requested. Compliance with City Council priorities. The Council priority"Achieve a Thriving Community" relates to business development and attraction, but the Council's goals for this priority include widening the range of the kinds of businesses and services available to residents.The area around the property you are considering is already served by convenience store/gas station businesses, so the rezoning request does not affect attainment of this goal. Adding another business, however, does help balance the ratio of businesses to residents, and a convenience store brings in sales tax, which helps rebalance the tax burden. Balancing the tax burden is one of the Council priorities. Staff Recommendation. The proposed commercial use of a gas station with convenience store fits the City's intent for this property, since a convenience store is a retail use and would help balance the tax burden. The format does not fit the Urban Village, but as described earlier,the Urban Village is not expected to occur with the development as it is now. Instead,the Urban Village character will have to be achieved through other means, over time. The infrastructure can support the land use proposed through this rezoning request, so development staff do not have any concerns from a development standpoint. Because the proposed use fits the City's intent for retail use and fits the commercial use aspect of the Urban Village in the comprehensive plan, staff recommends approval of the rezoning. Please note,though,that once a rezoning to C-1 is approved, any use permitted in C-1 zoning districts would be permitted, including non-retail uses. If Wal-Mart decided not to pursue the gas station and convenience store, or if the store were to close in the future, a non-retail use may be developed at this site. As long as the Commission believes the C-1 zoning district(permitted uses and development standards) at this location would be in the best interest of the general welfare of the city, however, staff recommends approval of the rezoning. If the Commission does not believe a C-1 zoning designation at this site would benefit the general welfare of the community, it should not approve the rezoning. Another option in that case would be to suggest to the applicant that it pursue a change to the Schedule of Uses that would allow convenience stores in the C-0 zoning district. IV. Notification: V.

Applicant Signature Date C 405 Municipal Drive, Kennedale, TX 76060 Telephone: 817-985-2135 Fax: 817-483-0812 January 17, 2015 City of Kennedale 405 Municipal Drive Kennedale, TX 76060 STATEMENT OF WHY ZONING CHANGE REQUEST SHOULD BE APPROVED The proposed project consists of a fueling station and convenience store. The improvements include a 2,750 square foot convenience store and a ten pump fuel canopy. The improvements will take place on Lot 2 of the Southwest Crossing Addition, which consists of 1.014 acres. Current zoning is CO - Retail Commercial. CO - Retail Commercial zoning does not allow fuel stations. We are proposing to re-zone the property to C1 - Restricted Commercial District. All properties adjacent to the proposed fuel station located within Kennedale city limits are zoned C1 - Restricted Commercial District, which matches our proposed zoning requested. There are six outlots along the east and south perimeter of the Walmart Supercenter parking lot. All of the outlots in this development are zoned C1 - Restricted Commercial District, except the lot where the proposed fuel station is to be located. For this reason, we believe the proposed re-zoning is appropriate and compatible with the use of surrounding properties. The fuel station will include a 2,750 square foot convenience store with retail area for general merchandise. The retail provided within the convenience store will be similar to the expected use under the current zoning. For this reason, we believe the proposed use of this property after re-zoning will closely match the intended use required by current zoning. For the above stated reasons, we believe re-zoning Lot 2 of the Southwest Crossing Addition from CO - Retail Commercial to C1 - Restricted Commercial District will enhance the general welfare of the City of Kennedale and allow for the immediate development of the property. If successful in rezoning the property, the Owner intends to begin construction in the spring of 2015. The project will be designed in strict compliance with the City of Kennedale Code of Ordinances as well any other jurisdictional requirements.
