I. Subject: Consider approval of Resolution 455 authorizing continued participation with the Steering Committee and authorize payment to Atmos Energy Corporation II. Originated by: III. Summary: Most municipalities have retained original jurisdiction over gas utility rates and services within municipal limits. The Atmos Cities Steering Committee ("ACSC") is composed of municipalities in the service area of Atmos Energy Corporation, Mid-Tex Division regardless of whether original jurisdiction has been retained. Atmos is a monopoly provider of natural gas. Because Atmos has no competitors, regulation of the rates that it charges its customers is the only way that cities can ensure that natural gas rates are fair. Working as a coalition to review the rates charged by Atmos allows cities to accomplish more collectively than each city could do acting alone. Cities have more than 100 years experience in regulating natural gas rates in Texas. ACSC is the largest coalition of cities served by Atmos Mid-Tex. There are 165 ACSC member cities, which represent more than 60 percent of the total load served by Atmos-Mid Tex. ACSC protects the authority of municipalities over the monopoly natural gas provider and defends the interests of residential and small commercial customers within the cities. Although many of the activities undertaken by ACSC are connected to rate cases (and therefore expenses are reimbursed by the utility), ACSC also undertakes additional activities on behalf of municipalities for which it needs funding support from its members. ACSC is actively involved in rate cases, appeals, rulemakings, and legislative efforts impacting the rates charged by Atmos within the City. These activities will continue throughout the calendar year. It is possible that additional efforts will be necessary on new issues that arise during the year, and it is important that ACSC be able to fund its participation on behalf of its member cities. A per capita assessment has historically been used, and is a fair method for the members to bear the burdens associated with the benefits received from that membership. IV. Fiscal Impact Summary: V.

If adopted, this ordinance would establish new regulations for Old Town, but it would not yet apply to properties within the district boundaries. The city will next need to rezone the affected properties into the appropriate sub-districts (considered under the next agenda item). Like our current code of ordinances,the proposed new regulations include lot regulations (e.g., setbacks, lot coverage, building height) and a schedule of uses. The new regulations differ from the current regulations in several ways. They: • Expand the boundaries of the Old Town zoning district and establishes four sub-districts • Add architectural standards that require elements of historic architectural styles to be used for new structures • Create a facade/frontage requirement that will place a minimum percentage of a building's front facade at the building line, which creates a stronger street frontage. The ordinance adopting the standards are organized to be able to fit into our existing code of ordinances, but it also improves on our standard codes by including a number of illustrations intended to make the regulations easier to understand. Compliance with the comprehensive land use plan. Establishing a zoning district and adopting standards for a Downtown Village is clearly in compliance with the comprehensive land use plan. The proposed standards are intended to encourage development and redevelopment fitting the character described in the comprehensive plan,with new development expected to occur over time and with redevelopment (more likely to occur sooner than new development) to help the area maintain a Downtown Village character in the meantime. Compliance with the Strategic Plan. The strategic plan calls for establishing a historic district in Kennedale.The proposed guidelines establish the Downtown Village area as a place important to Kennedale history and also provide a means for new development to embrace the city's history. Compliance with City Council Priorities. The proposed ordinance would help ensure new development is attractive and suitable for the area, as well as more pedestrian- and family-friendly, which is in line with the council's priorities. Staff Recommendation. The requested rezoning does not conflict with the comprehensive land use plan,the strategic plan, or City Council priorities.The rezoning is not expected to have an adverse impact on surrounding properties, and staff considers the current zoning to be unsuitable. Staff therefore recommends approval of the rezoning. Please note that we are still making some minor revisions to the ordinance and will have a final version for your approval at the meeting next week. Action by the Planning&Zoning Commission. City code describes the Commission's authority in approving requests for amending the zoning code.

The "OT" district boundaries shall be the general area depicted as the downtown village and town center in the 2012 Comprehensive Plan and specifically as shown in exhibit A and described in exhibit B attached with this ordinance. This district has a unique character as it allows a wide range of mixed uses that include potential historical structures, older single-family residences and existing new single-family residences, duplexes, multifamily, institutional, and commercial uses. This area has been in transition for over thirty (30) years and will continue to redevelop with a mix of uses on the remaining undeveloped lots. The purpose of the regulations in this section is to promote a central place for civic activity in Kennedale as well as to preserve and expand the original old town area to serve as a gateway into the center of Kennedale, in a manner that distinguishes it from neighboring communities. The regulations in this section are intended to encourage a relatively dense mix of residences and businesses that create a built environment which is both aesthetically pleasing, and which encourages walkability and public gatherings. (b) District regulations. Properties within the "OT" district shall be governed by regulations approved by the city council either as a planned development or as one of four subdistricts that have been created for this district. Unless governed by a planned development district, all properties within this district shall be zoned as one of the following subdistricts: Subdistrict 1 (SD-1) shall preserve the existing single family residential uses and promote historic residential building designs in this area. Subdistrict 2 (SD-2) shall promote a mix of single family residential and low intensity retail in this area, to be housed in residential structures that are similar to the building designs and materials allowed in subdistrict 1. Subdistrict 3 (SD-3) shall promote mainly institutional uses in historical or the modern interpretation of storefront type building designs in the area. Subdistrict 4 (SD-4) shall promote a mix of residential and non-residential uses in historical or the modern interpretation of storefront type building designs in the area. These subdistricts are envisioned to be created in the general areas depicted in exhibit A; however individual properties may be zoned as one of the other subdistricts or as a planned development district as deemed appropriate by the city council. Existing planned development districts within the boundaries of the "OT" district shall remain in effect until rezoned. (c) Permitted uses. The uses permitted in the "OT" district include those listed in the "schedule of uses" found in section 17-421 hereof. Any use not expressly authorized and permitted therein is expressly prohibited in this district, unless otherwise allowed as a planned development or in conformance with section 17-427 of this article dealing with new and unlisted uses. (d) Special exception uses. In order to allow for certain uses which, because of their nature or unusual character, cannot be unconditionally permitted in this district, yet would or could be an appropriate or compatible use under certain controlled circumstances and locations, the board of adjustment may, after public hearing thereon, authorize and grant the issuance of a special use permit for such special exception uses allowed in the "schedule of uses" in section 17-421 of this article. The issuance of the permit by the board shall be contingent upon reasonable and appropriate conditions and safeguards, including the length of time, so as to properly protect any adjacent property, use or neighborhood character, as well as insure Page 2 the appropriate conduct of the special exception use of the land and buildings granted.

Subject: CASE# PZ 15-06 Public hearing and consideration of Ordinance approval regarding a city-initiated zoning change for various properties within an approximately 170-acre tract in the City of Kennedale Addition, George A Lowery Addition, Gregory Addition, Prather Subdivision,Jacob Prickett Survey A-1225, Roberson Addition, Sather Addition, Soto Addition, C B Teague Survey A-1506, Woodlea Acres Addition,James A Arthur Addition, Cazanda Rose Survey A-1285, B T Webb Subdivision, Municipal Addition, C A Boaz Subd of J B Renfro Survey, Carol Heights,Jacob Prickett Addition, and Jesse B Renfro Survey A-1260, Tarrant County, Texas, to a sub- district with the "OT" Old Town zoning district. II. Originated by: Rachel Roberts, City Planner III. Summary: Request: rezone 259 properties (approx. 170 acres) in and around Old Town to a sub-district within the Old Town zoning district Requested by: city-initiated Location: see map (attached) This case is the next step in implementing the new zoning regulations for the area described as the Downtown Village in the comprehensive plan. The Commission considered the regulations for the district in the previous case, and this case will rezone properties into sub-districts under the new regulations. Compliance with the comprehensive land use plan. The comprehensive plan classifies each part of the city into a type of character district. The character districts incorporate multiple compatible land uses in an attempt to create dynamic places that advance the plan's principles and goals. The plan identifies the area under consideration as Downtown Village. The Downtown Village is intended to preserve and expand the original downtown street grid and block pattern. Uses should include a relatively dense mix of residences and businesses. The Village should be easily accessible by pedestrians from the Towncenter and other nearby areas. Sample development types include, but are not limited to: • Professional office • Specialized retail • Live-work units • Cafe/coffee shop • Small-lot single family • Attached single-family •Town home/rowhouse • Accessory dwelling unit • Plazas/pocket parks • Community theater The regulations for this area (considered under PZ 15-05)were written specifically for the purpose of establishing the Downtown Village character district, and the properties proposed for rezoning are within the areas designated as Downtown Village in the Future Land Use Plan. Also included are properties identified as TownCenter in the Future Land Use plan but not included in the existing TownCenter planned development district. The intent of the TownCenter character district is to provide a central place for civic activity in Kennedale. Rather than establish a separate zoning category, the new Old Town sub-district 3 (if approved under PZ 15-05)was established to implement the TownCenter character district. Staff considers the rezoning to be in compliance with the comprehensive land use plan. Compliance with the strategic plan. The strategic plan calls for establishing a historic district. Generally, historic districts have two main components: preservation of existing historic structures and creation of architectural guidelines that ensure new development fits the district character. Establishment of the architectural standards in the ordinance considered under the previous case meets that second component. Rezoning would apply those standards to the properties within the Old Town area. Staff considers the rezoning to be in compliance with the strategic plan. Compliance with City Council priorities. The proposed ordinance would help ensure new development is attractive and suitable for the area, as well as more pedestrian- and family-friendly, which is in line with the council's priorities. Staff considers the rezoning to be in compliance with City Council priorities. Staff Recommendation. The rezoning is in compliance with the city's comprehensive land use plan and with other planning and policy documents. Staff recommends approval. Action by the Planning&Zoning Commission. City code describes the Commission's authority in approving requests for rezoning. You may: * recommend granting the requested zoning change; or * recommend denying the requested zoning change; or * recommend changing the zoning designation on a portion of the property for which zoning is requested; or * recommend initiating a request to consider changing all or a portion of such property to a district other than that requested and of a different character; or * consider and recommend approval of any zoning classification in the adopted zoning ordinance having a lesser intensity and being more restrictive than the zoning designation requested by the applicant. (from Sec. 17-429 of the City Code) Sample Motions. The motions provided below are examples, and you are not required to use them. Approval I find the rezoning to be in compliance with the comprehensive land use plan [or state other reason] and make a motion to recommend approval of Case PZ 15-06. Denial I find the rezoning to be in conflict with the comprehensive land use plan [or state other reason] and make a motion to recommend denial of Case PZ 15-06. Postponement I make a motion to postpone Case PZ 15-06 until (state date). IV. Notification: V. Fiscal Impact Summary: VI. Legal Impact: VII.

I. Subject: Consider authorizing the Mayor to sign a Letter of Agreement with the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone for two Professional Service Agreements II. Originated by: III. Summary: In order to comply with provisions of the development agreement with Texas Raceway, the City needs to move forward with the preliminary engineering design on the sewer line extension and the New Hope Road alignment. The alignment is also important to the TxDOT plan to rebuild the bridge near the Texas Raceway property. The actual planning is the responsibility of the TIRZ; however, since the TIRZ has no funds at this point, the city will need to provide the funding through a loan. This has been placed on the agenda in order for the Council to consider requesting the City Attorney to prepare a Letter of Agreement between the TIRZ and the City of Kennedale to loan funds for two professional engineering agreements and authorizing the Mayor to sign the agreement.

Governance education and education related to Ends determination (e.g. presentations by industry experts, advocacy groups, staff and so on)will be arranged in the third quarter,to be held during the balance of the year. c. Upon the request of two Council members, a request for an item for Council discussion may be submitted to the Mayor no later than ten days before the council meeting. 3. Throughout the year,the Council will attend to consent agenda items as expeditiously as possible. 4. City Manager compensation and evaluation will be decided during the month of March after a review of monitoring reports received in the previous year. 5. City Manager monitoring will be on the agenda based upon reports received since the previous meeting, or if plans must be made for direct inspection monitoring, or if arrangements for third- party monitoring must be prepared. POLICY TYPE: GOVERNANCE PROCESS POLICY TITLE: MAYOR'S ROLE The Mayor, a specially empowered member of the City Council, assures the integrity of the Council's process and, secondarily, represents the Council to outside parties. 1. The assigned result of the Mayor's job is that the Council behaves consistently with its own rules and those legitimately imposed upon it from outside the organization. a. Meeting discussion content will be only those issues which, according to board policy,clearly belong to the Council to decide or to monitor. b. Deliberation will be fair,open, and thorough,but also timely,orderly, and kept to the point. c. Information that is for neither monitoring performance nor Council decisions will be avoided or minimized and always noted as such. 2. The authority of the Mayor consists of making decisions that fall within the topics covered by Council policies on Governance Process and Council-Management Delegation with the exception of (a) Employment or termination of the City Manager (b)Where the Council specifically delegates portions of this authority to others. The Mayor is authorized to use any reasonable interpretation of the provisions in these policies. The Mayor is authorized to use any reasonable interpretation of the provisions in these policies. a. The Mayor is empowered to chair Council meetings with all the commonly accepted power of that position(e.g.ruling,recognizing). 3. The Mayor has no authority to make decisions about policies created by the Council within Ends and Executive Limitations policy areas. Therefore, the Mayor has no authority to supervise or unilaterally direct the City Manager. a. The Mayor may represent the Council to outside parties in announcing Council-stated positions and in stating Mayoral decisions and interpretations within the areas delegated to him or her. It is expected that this latter authority would be exercised sparingly and only in such times as the Council cannot timely deliberate the issue and is subject ultimately to Council review. b. The Mayor may delegate this authority,but will remain accountable for its use. POLICY TYPE: GOVERNANCE PROCESS POLICY TITLE: COUNCIL COMMITTEE PRINCIPLES Council committees, when used, will be assigned to help the Council do its job, to reinforce the wholeness of the Council's job and so as never to interfere with delegation from Council to City Manager. I. Council committees are to help the Council do its job,not to help or advise the staff. Committees ordinarily will assist the Council by preparing policy alternatives and implications for Council deliberation. In keeping with the Council's broader focus, Council committees will normally not have direct dealings with current staff operations. 2. Council committees may not speak or act for the Council except when formally given such authority for specific and time-limited purposes. Expectations and authority will be carefully stated in order not to conflict with authority delegated to the City Manager. 3. Council committees cannot exercise authority over staff. The City Manager works for the full Council, and will therefore not be required to obtain approval of a Council committee before an executive action. 4. Committees will be used sparingly and ordinarily in an ad-hoc capacity. 5. This policy applies to any group that is formed by Council action whether or not it is called a committee and regardless of whether the group includes Council members. It does not apply to committees formed under the authority of the City Manager. POLICY TYPE: GOVERNANCE PROCESS POLICY TITLE: COST OF GOVERNANCE The Council will invest in its governance capacity. 1. Council skills,methods, and supports will be sufficient to ensure governing with excellence. a. Training and retraining will be used liberally to orient new Council members and candidates for Council membership, as well as to maintain and increase existing Council member skills and understandings. b. Outside monitoring assistance will be arranged so that the Council can exercise confident control over organizational performance. This includes,but is not limited to,financial audit. C. Outreach mechanisms will be used as needed to ensure the Council's ability to listen to owner viewpoints and values. 2. Costs will be prudently incurred, though not at the expense of endangering the development and maintenance of superior capability. 3. The Council will establish its cost of governance budget or the next fiscal year during the month of August. POLICY TYPE: COUNCIL-MANAGEMENT DELEGATION POLICY TITLE: GLOBAL BOARD-MANAGEMENT DELEGATION The Council's sole official connection to the operational organization, its achievements, and conduct will be through a chief executive officer, titled the City Manager. POLICY TYPE: COUNCIL-MANAGEMENT DELEGATION POLICY TITLE: UNITY OF CONTROL Only officially passed motions of the Council are binding on the City Manager. 1. Decisions or instructions of individual Council members, officers, or committees are not binding on the City Manager except in rare instances when the Council has specifically authorized such exercise of authority. 2. In the case of Council members or committees requesting information or assistance without Council authorization, the City Manager can refuse such requests that require, in the City Manager's opinion, a material amount of staff time or funds,or are disruptive. POLICY TYPE: COUNCIL-MANAGEMENT DELEGATION POLICY TITLE: ACCOUNTABILITY OF THE CITY MANAGER The City Manager is the Council's only link to operational achievements and conduct, so that all authority and accountability of staff, as far as the Council is concerned, is considered the authority and accountability of the City Manager. 1. The board will never give instructions to persons who report directly or indirectly to the City Manager. 2. The Council will not evaluate, either formally or informally, any staff other than the City Manager or other direct Council Appointees. 3. The Council will view City Manager performance as identical to organizational performance, so that organizational accomplishment of Council-stated Ends and avoidance of Council-proscribed means will be viewed as successful City Manager performance. POLICY TYPE: COUNCIL-MANAGEMENT DELEGATION POLICY TITLE: DELEGATION TO THE CITY MANAGER The Council will instruct the City Manager through written policies that prescribe the organizational Ends to be achieved, and describe organizational situations and actions to be avoided, allowing the City Manager to use any reasonable interpretation of these policies. 1. The Council will develop policies instructing the City Manager to achieve specified results, for specified recipients, at a specified cost. These policies will be developed systematically from the broadest, most general level to more defined levels, and will be called Ends policies. All issues that are not ends issues as defined here are means issues. 2. The Council will develop policies that limit the latitude the City Manager may exercise in choosing the organizational means. These limiting policies will describe those practices, activities, decisions, and circumstances that would be unacceptable to the board even if they were to be effective. Policies will be developed systematically from the broadest,most general level to more defined levels, and they will be called Executive Limitations policies. The Council will never prescribe organizational means delegated to the City Manager. 3. As long as the City Manager uses any reasonable interpretation of the Council's Ends and Executive Limitations policies, the City Manager is authorized to establish all further policies, make all decisions, take all actions, establish all practices, and develop all activities. Such decisions of the City Manager shall have full force and authority as if decided by the Council. 4. The Council may change its Ends and Executive Limitations policies, thereby shifting the boundary between Council and City Manager domains. By doing so, the Council changes the latitude of choice given to the City Manager. But so long as any particular delegation policy is in place,the Council and its members will respect and support the City Manager's choices. POLICY TYPE: COUNCIL-MANAGEMENT DELEGATION POLICY TITLE: MONITORING EXECUTIVE PERFORMANCE Systematic and rigorous monitoring of City Manager job performance will be solely against the only expected City Manager job products: organizational accomplishment of Council policies on Ends and organizational operation within the boundaries established in Council policies on Executive Limitations. 1. Monitoring is simply to determine the degree to which Council policies are being met. Information that does not do this will not be considered to be monitoring data. 2. The Council will acquire monitoring information by one or more of three methods: a. By INTERNAL REPORT: in which the City Manager discloses interpretations and compliance information to the Council. b. By EXTERNAL REPORT: in which an external, disinterested third parry selected by the council assess compliance with Council policies. C. By DIRECT COUNCIL INSPECTION: in which a designated Council member or members of the Council assess compliance with the City Manager's interpretation of the appropriate policy criteria. 3. In every case, the Council will judge (a) the reasonableness of the City Manager's interpretation and(b)whether data demonstrate accomplishment of the interpretation. 4. The standard for compliance shall be any reasonable City Manager interpretation of the Council policy being monitored. The Council is final arbiter of reasonableness,but will always judge with a"reasonable person" test rather than with interpretations favored by Council members or by the Council as a whole. 5. All policies that instruct the City Manager will be monitored at a frequency and by a method chosen by the Council. The Council can monitor any policy at any time by any method, but will ordinarily depend on a routine schedule as follows: Policy Method Frequency Month Global Executive Internal Annually March Constraint Emergency City Manager Internal Annually March Succession Treatment of Customers Internal Annually May Treatment of Staff Internal Annually May Internal Ends Balanced Scorecard Quarterly&Annually May reporting Communication and Direct Annually June Support Inspection Financial Planning/ Internal Quarterly June-August Budgeting Compensation and Benefits Internal External Annually June - August Asset Protection Internal Annually August Financial Condition and Internal(Budget) Annually August Activities External (Audit) Annually March KENNEDALE You're Here,Your Home www.cityofkennedale.com Staff Report to the Honorable Mayor and City Council Date: June 15, 2015 Agenda Item No: EXECUTIVE SESSION - B.

I. Subject: CASE#PZ 15-05 Public hearing and consideration approval of Ordinance 575 establishing a new zoning district and district regulations for an area identified as the Downtown Village in the comprehensive land use plan. 1. Staff presentation 2. Public hearing 3. Staff response and summary 4. Action by the City Council II. Originated by: Rachel Roberts, City Planner III.Summary: The comprehensive land use plan establishes a Downtown Village character district. This district covers the existing Old Town zoning district, as well as surrounding adjacent areas. Because this area is important to long-term plans for fostering community and sense of place, and because of the area's importance as the historic downtown, the Old Town area was a high priority for planning work to implement the comprehensive plan. The City hired SJR Consulting to develop new zoning regulations for the area identified as Downtown Village in the comprehensive plan. The ordinance Council is considering under this agenda item would establish new zoning regulations for the Downtown Village character district. The ordinance would establish four sub-districts for Old Town; the territory within the sub-district is made up of the current Old Town zoning district, TownCenter, and properties adjacent to or surrounding those areas. If adopted, the ordinance would establish new regulations for Old Town, but it would not yet apply to properties within the district boundaries. The City will next need to rezone the affected properties into the appropriate sub-districts, which is considered under the next agenda item. The ordinance establishes historically-appropriate design for new development, uses allowed per sub- district, and lot standards for each of the sub-districts. Some areas are expected to remain as single family residential, other areas expected to remain as commercial uses, and other areas are to be designated for mixed uses or uses not currently permitted. Design guidelines are intended to ensure that, whatever the land use, new development fits the desired character of the area. The ordinance adopting the standards are organized to be able to fit into our existing code of ordinances, but it also improves on our standard codes by including a number of illustrations intended to make the regulations easier to understand. Compliance with the comprehensive land use plan. Establishing a zoning district and adopting standards for a Downtown Village is clearly in compliance with the comprehensive land use plan. We have proposed a set of standards that are intended to encourage development and redevelopment fitting the character described in the comprehensive plan, with new development expected to occur over time and with redevelopment(more likely to occur sooner than new 405 Municipal Drive, Kennedale, TX 76060 1 Telephone: 817-985-2100 1 Fax: 817-478-7169 V.

A. Staff presentation B. Public hearing C. Staff response and summary D. Action by the City Council II. Originated by: Rachel Roberts, City Planner III. Summary: Request: rezone various properties to sub-districts within an expanded Old Town zoning district Requested by: city-initiated Location: see map (attached) This case is the next step in implementing the new zoning regulations for the area described as the Downtown Village in the comprehensive plan. You considered the regulations for the district in the previous case, and this case will rezone properties into a sub-district under the new regulations. Compliance with the comprehensive land use plan. The comprehensive plan classifies each part of the city into a type of character district. The character districts incorporate multiple compatible land uses in an attempt to create dynamic places that advance the plan's three planning principles—Connected City, Economic Prosperity, and Thriving Community. The plan identifies the area under consideration as Downtown Village. The Downtown Village is intended to: preserve and expand the original downtown street grid and block pattern. Uses should include a relatively dense mix of residences and businesses. The village should be easily accessible by pedestrians from the Towncenter and other nearby areas. This village will serve as a gateway into the center of Kennedale, distinguishing it from neighboring communities. Sample development types include, but are not limited to: • Professional office • Specialized retail • Live-work units • Cafe/coffee shop 405 Municipal Drive, Kennedale, TX 76060 1 Telephone: 817-985-2100 1 Fax: 817-478-7169 Sample Motions.
