Date: October 15, 2015
Agenda Item No: WORK SESSION- A.
I. Subject:
Presentation and discussion with staff from CHC Development concerning a possible planned
development district application for property located along Bowman Springs Rd
II. Originated by:
Rachel Roberts, City Planner
III. Summary:
The Kennedale Economic Development Corporation is purchasing a 15-acre property along Bowman
Springs, part of which is in the floodplain. The KEDCS plans to convey the floodplain to the city for the
long-term Village Creek project, and the remaining 8 acres would be sold for development. The seller
did not want to split the property when selling it, so this approach will guarantee acquiring land for the
Village Creek project.
Economic development staff have talked with several developers who might be interested in building
there. One firm from the Metroplex has expressed interest in bringing their product to the Kennedale
market. They have been working mostly in the northern part of the region. At the work session, they
will present ideas for a possible planned development district at this location and would like to get
feedback from the Commission on their ideas.

Agenda Item No: REGULAR ITEMS - A.
I. Subject:
CASE # PZ 15-09 to receive comments and consider approval on an ordinance amending Chapter 17,
Article VI, "Zoning", of the code of ordinances of the City of Kennedale, Texas, as amended, by
establishing new zoning districts, "Neighborhood Village overlay district" and "Urban Village overlay
district," and regulations for same, including regulations on permitted uses, building design, site
design, landscaping, and signs.

4. Action by the Planning &Zoning Commission
II. Originated by:
Rachel Roberts, City Planner
III. Summary:
Background.
The Commission has been discussing the overlay ordinances for the Neighborhood Village and Urban
Village character districts for several months (character districts are areas identified in the
comprehensive land use plan as having a particular character, with each district having characteristics
that distinguish it from the other districts). The ordinance under consideration is the result of those
discussions. As you will recall, this ordinance is intended to put standards in place for these character
districts until the full zoning code update is completed. The ordinance -- if adopted -- will likely be
revised when the full code update is done.
The Village character districts are intended to provide walkable, mixed-use districts at different scales.
The Neighborhood Village district, meant to serve neighborhoods, would be smaller in size, have lower
building heights, and will provide space for residents to have goods and services provided in a family-
accessible environment. It is envisioned that many visitors to the Neighborhood Village will walk or
bike from surrounding neighborhoods, although some visitors will drive, and parking will need to be
provided for those visitors.
The Urban Village will be large in scale, have higher building heights, and serve a wider segment of
the community, rather than just adjacent neighborhoods. It is envisioned that some people will walk to
the Urban Village, but many visitors will drive there and then walk to the various destinations within the
district.
The ordinance was drafted based on much discussion with the Commission and on comments from
one of our consultants. It will establish new overlay districts but does not change the zoning on any
property. The city or property owners would next have to rezone properties in order for the overlay
districts to be in effect.
Action by the Planning &Zoning Commission
The review and approval process for amendments to the city code is similar to the rezoning process.
The Commission may make a recommendation to the Council to approve or deny, or you may
postpone making a recommendation until a later date. If you make a motion to approve the changes
to the code, you may make a recommendation to approve the ordinance as presented or with
changes; if you would recommend changes, you must state those changes in your motion.

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF KENNEDALE, TEXAS BY AMENDING
SECTION 17-420 "OVERLAY DISTRICTS" BY ADDING A
NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER OVERLAY DISTRICT; PROVIDING THAT
THIS ORDINANCE SHALL BE CUMULATIVE OF ALL ORDINANCES;
PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING A PENALTY
FOR VIOLATIONS HEREOF; PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE;
PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION IN THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER;
AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City of Kennedale is a home rule city acting under its charter adopted
by the electorate pursuant to Article XI, Section 5, of the Texas Constitution and
Chapter 9 of the Local Government Code; and
WHEREAS, in order to promote the public health, safety and general welfare the City

establish regulations that allow for development in keeping with the character of the
Neighborhood Village and Urban Village character districts described in the
comprehensive land use plan; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Chapter 211 of the Local Government Code, the City has
adopted a comprehensive zoning ordinance and map regulating the location and use of

purposes, for the purpose of promoting the public health, safety, morals and general
welfare, all in accordance with a comprehensive plan; and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Kennedale, Texas held
a public hearing on October 15, 2015, and the City Council of the City of Kennedale,
Texas held a public hearing on November 16, 2015, with respect to the amendments
described herein; and
Whereas, the City has complied with all requirements of Chapter 211 of the Local

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF KENNEDALE, THAT:
SECTION 1.
Article VI, "Zoning", of Chapter 17, "Planning and Land Development", of the Code of
Ordinances of the City of Kennedale is hereby amended by adding a new section,
Section 17-420.1, "Neighborhood Village Overlay District" to read as follows:
(a) Location of overlay district. In addition to any other applicable regulations, the
DRAFT. subject to change pending review by city attorney and city council
standards contained in this section shall govern the development of land and
structures in areas identified in the comprehensive land use plan identified as
Neighborhood Village.
(b) Purpose and character. The purpose of the Neighborhood Center overlay district to
provide a dense and diverse mix of residences and businesses that serve adjacent
and nearby neighborhoods at a neighborhood scale. Neighborhood Center districts
should be very easily accessible by foot from the surrounding neighborhoods.
Intensity of each district should vary based on the surrounding context, but each
district may include a blend of attached and detached buildings, with shallow or no
setbacks and building oriented toward the street. The uses and character should
have less intensity than the Urban Village overlay district. Fitting the character of
surrounding neighborhoods, a Neighborhood Center overlay district should have 1
to 2 story buildings, although some portion of the district could include 3-story
buildings if designed appropriately. Frontages may include stoops, porches,
storefronts, and arcaded walkways.
(c) Applicability in event of conflict. This section is to be superimposed in addition to
the regulations applicable to any approved underlying (or base) district. The
existence or use of any building or land in an overlay district shall be subject to the
time limitations and amortization provisions set forth in this section and in sections
17-428 and 17-430. To the extent of any conflict between this section and any
other provision in any city ordinance, this ordinance shall prevail.
(d) Permitted underlying (or base) district. Prior to the use of any land or building in the
overlay district, a permitted underlying (or base) zoning district shall be approved in
accordance with section 17-429 of the Kennedale City Code in addition to the
overlay district. Permitted underlying zoning districts in the Neighborhood center
overlay district are "AG" Agricultural, "R-1" Single Family Residential, "R-2" Single
Family Residential, "R-3" Single Family Residential, "C-0" Retail Commercial, "C-1"
Restricted Commercial, "C-2" General Commercial.
(e) Definitions. For purposes of this section, certain terms herein are defined as
follows..
Frontage shall have the meaning established in Section 17-310 of the Kennedale City
Code.
Frontage street means the street from which a primary building's front setback is
measured. This is usually also the street on which a building is addressed. A frontage
street may be a primary or secondary street.
DRAFT. subject to change pending review by city attorney and city council
Primary building shall have the meaning established in Section 17-310 of the Kennedale
City Code.
Primary entrance means the main point of access into a building. If the main point of
access for employees is different than the main point of access for visitors, the primary
entrance shall be the main point of access for pedestrians into a building.
Primary street means a street and its frontage designed to higher standards for
pedestrian-oriented design and access, ensuring that the relationship between
buildings, the pedestrian realm and the street enforce the desired character for the
district. These streets shall have few, if any, gaps in the "street wall" and limit the
frontage of off-street parking and service functions. For purposes of this section,
Kennedale Sublett Rd, Little School Rd, New Hope Rd, and Dick Price Rd are
considered primary streets. These streets are typically located on the perimeter of a
Neighborhood Village; new streets on the interior of a Neighborhood Village may also
be designated as primary streets. The streets identified here as primary streets can
instead be classified as secondary streets under the following conditions.
(a) No new development under this code, which would create a street wall along a
primary perimeter street, has already occurred or been permitted; and
(b) Streets interior to a development will be built and classified as primary street in
terms of this code; and
(c) New primary structures built on property having access to the new interior
primary street will be oriented to the new street and will be subject to the regulations
for primary structures along primary streets.
Screening wall shall be defined as a solid fence or wall as described under Screening
(device) under Section 17-431, "Definitions," of Kennedale city code.
Screening wall break means a gap provided in a screening wall to allow passage of
pedestrians, bicyclists, and other non-vehicle traffic.

(f) Building placement and height regulations.
Setbacks for the Neighborhood center overlay district shall be as set forth in the
following table. Setbacks shall conform to a "build-to" zone established through
minimum and maximum setbacks. The "build-to zone" shall be the area from the
"build-to line" (the minimum setback line) and the maximum setback. At least eighty
(80) percent of the front facade of a building shall be located within the front build-to
zone. Conforming residential uses in existence or permitted for construction on or
before the date this ordinance is adopted shall be considered conforming in terms of
setbacks after this ordinance is adopted.

setback is required on any side abutting an existing residential use not located within the
overlay district, where the use was in existence prior to adoption of this district.

uses. The minimum and maximum setback requirements shall not supersede other safety or
public health requirements of the Kennedale City Code that may require larger side or rear
setbacks.

(h) Parking regulations.
(1) All off-street parking created after the date this ordinance is adopted shall be
located behind the main structure or to the side of the main structure. No off-
street parking shall be permitted in front of the primary structure unless located
within the public right-of-way. Parking located in the right-of-way shall not be
permitted when it obstructs the flow of traffic on the street or creates a traffic
hazard. Parking in the right-of-way shall not count toward the required minimum
off-street parking amount unless approved by the City as part of a site plan.
(2) Parking to the side of a primary structure.
(a) Non-residential uses. If off-street parking is constructed to the side of the
primary structure, no more than forty-two (42) feet of the lot frontage (lot width)
DRAFT. subject to change pending review by city attorney and city council
shall be used for off-street parking for non-residential uses, or the minimum width
required for one row of standard parking (as required by the Public Works Design
Manual) and the minimum width fire lane/drive aisle to meet fire code, whichever
is greater. No part of the side parking area shall be within the required front
setback.
i)The Zoning Administrator is authorized to permit up to an additional ten
(10) feet of the lot frontage to be used for off-street parking when requested,
in writing, to permit construction of parking for irregular-shaped parcels
where the shape of the parcel prohibits the construction of sufficient parking
behind the main structure to meet the minimum parking requirements.
However, the Zoning Administrator shall not permit additional lot width to be
used for parking if the addition would result in more than fifty (50) percent of
the lot width to be used for parking.
ii) For parking located entirely behind the primary structure, there is
no limit on the amount of lot width that may be used for parking.
(b) Residential uses. If off-street parking is constructed to the side of the
primary structure, and no more than forty (40%) of the frontage of the lot shall be
used for off-street parking. Off-street parking requirements shall be in
accordance with the parking schedule found in section 17-421 hereof. Parking
spaces for at least two (2) motor vehicles shall be provided in an enclosed
garage for any single family dwelling constructed after the date of adoption of this
section. A front entry garage is prohibited unless the vehicle entryway is
screened from view from the front public right-of-way by the dwelling or other
structure. For the purposes of this section, a porte-cochere shall constitute
sufficient screening of a front entry garage provided the vehicle entryway of the
garage is located no less than eighty (80) feet from the front property line.
Regardless of the orientation of the garage required by this section, any gate or
door to a porte-cochere must be of wrought iron construction and must not
screen more than twenty-five (25) percent of its entryway.

For each single-family (attached or detached) or live-work structure, an enclosed garage behind
the primary structure shall be provided to accommodate at least the minimum required off-street
parking spaces. Off-street parking for multi-family uses may be a mix of covered and uncovered
parking, but all such parking shall be located behind the residential structures and screened
according to the requirements of this code for parking and auto-oriented uses.
(b) Parking provided above the minimum requirements. All parking provided
in excess of the minimum required by city code shall be located behind the
primary structure.
(c) Lot area for off-street parking. The area used for off-street parking may not
exceed fifty (50) percent of the total lot area. Travel lanes serving the parking
lot will count as part of the lot area used for parking spaces; travel lanes
functioning primarily as drive lanes to reach the rear of the lot rather than as
parking lanes (such as drive lanes along parking to the side of the structure),
however, will not count toward the lot area used for parking spaces.
(4) Where off-street parking areas for non-residential uses are located adjacent to
a property with a residential primary use in existence before this overlay district
was adopted, the off-street parking areas shall be screened in accordance with
Sec. 17-425, except that breaks in the screening structure shall be provided, as
needed, to accommodate pedestrian and cyclist connections across properties
(if provided). Screening shall be maintained in good condition at all times. A
break in the screening wall may be wide enough to accommodate both
pedestrians and cyclists will be permitted but shall be restricted from
automobile access.
(5) Shared parking. Shared parking is permitted if a shared parking agreement
has been signed and notarized by all users/parties who intend to share parking.
The shared parking plan will be subject to review and approval of the
Administrator, and the parking agreement must be filed with the Tarrant County
Clerk. A reduction of up to twenty percent (20%) of the required parking may
be permitted. Parking may be shared by different uses on a shared or adjacent
DRAFT. subject to change pending review by city attorney and city council
site, but the parking facility must be located within six hundred (600) feet of the
primary structure for each use. The Administrator is not required to approve a
reduction in the required number of parking spaces.
(6) Bicycle parking. Bicycle parking shall be provided for every non-residential use.
(a) Parking amount. Bicycle parking shall be provided at a minimum
amount of 5% of the number of spaces provided for car parking.
(b) Design of bicycle parking spaces. For each required bicycle parking
space, a stationary object shall be provided to which a user can secure a
bicycle with at least two points of contact with a 6-foot cable and lock.
The stationary object shall be either a freestanding bicycle rack or a wall-
mounted bracket. Freestanding bicycle racks shall be inverted "U," post
and ring, or some other form of bicycle rack providing at least two points
of contact. Grid/fence-type racks and wave/ribbon-type bicycle racks are
prohibited. Objects for securing bicycles must be dedicated for that
purpose and may not be primarily for any other purpose (e.g., signage,
traffic safety).
(c) Location of bicycle parking. The bicycle rack shall be located within 60
feet of the main pedestrian entrance of the building it serves, and may
be located between the street curb and the building (within the sidewalk
area), subject to the approval of the Development Services Director.
Each bicycle parking area shall be separated from motor vehicle parking
and maneuvering areas by a barrier, post, or bollard or by at least five (5)
feet of open space.
(d) Shared bicycle parking. Up to two (2) bicycle parking spaces may be
shared by different uses on a shared or adjacent site, but the parking
facility must be located within a hundred (100) feet (may be a bit far for
shared bike parking) of the primary entry for the primary structure for
each use.
(i) Blank wall limitation.
(1) Blank walls longer than forty (40) feet are prohibited for all uses (residential and
non-residential).
(2) For purposes of this district, "blank wall" means any building wall that is a
portion of a building wall or fagade without a window or door or similar
architectural feature and is over four (4) feet in height from ground level and
longer than forty (40) feet, as measured horizontally, without having a window,
door, building modulation, or other similar architectural feature meant to lessen
the apparent bulk or massing of a structure.
DRAFT. subject to change pending review by city attorney and city council

SECTION 2.
Article VI, "Zoning", of Chapter 17, "Planning and Land Development", of the
Code of Ordinances of the City of Kennedale is hereby amended by adding a new
section, Section 17-420.2, "Urban Village Overlay District" to read as follows:
(a) Location of overlay district. In addition to any other applicable regulations, the
standards contained in this section shall govern the development of land and
structures in areas identified in the comprehensive land use plan identified as Urban
Village.
(b) Purpose and character. The purpose of the Urban Village overlay district is to act as
gateways into the "core" of Kennedale and to provide a high-intensity node of activity
with a dense mix of residences and businesses in a walkable environment. The
Urban Village overlay district is similar to the Neighborhood Center overlay district,
yet larger and of a higher intensity. Buildings should be attached, multi-story
structures oriented toward the street with no setback or shallow setbacks. Similar to
the Neighborhood Center districts, frontage types within an Urban Village overlay
district may be stoops, porches, storefronts, and arcaded walkways, but with building
heights typically ranging from 3 to 5 stories. While Urban Villages should promote
pedestrian circulation and access from nearby neighborhoods and areas, it can be
expected that a significant number of visitors will access the urban village by car. A
DRAFT subject to change pending review by city attorney and city council
"park once and walk everywhere" approach should be taken during the design phase
of urban villages to enable convenient and pleasant walking.
(c) Applicability in event of conflict. This section is to be superimposed in addition to the
regulations applicable to any approved underlying (or base) district. The existence or
use of any building or land in an overlay district shall be subject to the time
limitations and amortization provisions set forth in this section and in sections 17-428
and 17-430. To the extent of any conflict between this section and any other
provision in any city ordinance, the more strict provision shall prevail.
(d) Permitted underlying (or base) district. Prior to the use of any land or building in the
overlay district, a permitted underlying (or base) zoning district shall be approved in
accordance with section 17-429 of the Kennedale City Code in addition to the
overlay district. Permitted underlying zoning districts in the Urban Village Overlay
district are "AG" Agricultural, "R-1" Single Family Residential, "R-2" Single Family
Residential, "R-3" Single Family Residential, "C-0" Retail Commercial, "C-1"
Restricted Commercial, "C-2" General Commercial.
(e) Definitions. For purposes of this section, certain terms herein are defined as follows:
Frontage shall have the meaning established in Section 17-310 of the Kennedale
City Code.
Frontage street means the street from which a primary building's front setback is
measured. This is usually also the street on which a building is addressed.
Primary building shall have the meaning established in Section 17-310 of the
Kennedale City Code.
Primary entrance means the main point of access for a building. If the main point of
access for employees is different than the main point of access for visitors, the
primary entrance shall be the main point of access for pedestrians into a building.
Primary street means a street designed to higher standards for pedestrian-oriented
building design and access, ensuring that the relationship between buildings, the
pedestrian realm and the street enforce the desired character for the district. These
streets shall have few, if any, gaps in the "street wall" and limit the frontage of off-
street parking and service functions. For purposes of this section, Kennedale
Sublett Rd, Little School Rd, New Hope Rd, and Dick Price Rd are considered
primary streets. These streets are typically located on the perimeter of a
DRAFT. subject to change pending review by city attorney and city council
Neighborhood Village; new streets on the interior of a Neighborhood Village may
also be designated as primary streets. The streets identified here as primary streets
can instead be classified as secondary streets under the following conditions.
(a) No new development under this code, which would create a street wall
along a primary perimeter street, has already occurred or been permitted;
and
(b) Streets interior to a development will be built and classified as primary street
in terms of this code; and
(c) New primary structures built on property having access to the new interior
primary street will be oriented to the new street and will be subject to the
regulations for primary structures along primary streets.
Screening wall shall be defined as a solid fence or wall as described under
Screening (device) under Section 17-431, "Definitions," of Kennedale city code.
Screening wall break means a gap provided in a screening wall to allow passage of
pedestrians, bicyclists, and other non-vehicle traffic.

Illustration of break in screening wall.
(f) Building placement and height regulations. Setbacks for the Urban Village Overlay
district shall be as set forth in the following table. Conforming residential uses in
existence or permitted for construction on or before the date this ordinance is
adopted shall be considered conforming in terms of setbacks after this ordinance is
adopted.

Additional requirements:
(a) No structures are permitted within the 100-year floodplain.
(b) Accessory structures shall have a minimum front setback of ten feet (10') from the
primary structure. Side and rear setbacks shall be the same as for primary structures.
A thirty-five (35) foot minimum side and rear setback is required from adjacent properties
with existing residential use not located within the Urban Village overlay district. The setback
is required on any side abutting an existing residential use not located within the overlay
district, where the use was in existence prior to adoption of this district.
2 Additional setback may be required to accommodate fire lanes, easements, or other uses.
The minimum and maximum setback requirements shall not supersede other safety or
public health requirements of the Kennedale City Code that may require larger side or rear
setbacks.
Building Height

(h) Parking regulations.
(1) All off-street parking created after the date this ordinance is adopted shall be
located behind the main structure or to the side of the main structure. No off-
street parking shall be permitted in front of the primary structure unless located
within the public right-of-way. Parking located in the right-of-way shall not be
permitted when it obstructs the flow of traffic on the street or creates a traffic
hazard. Parking in the right-of-way shall not count toward the required minimum
off-street parking amount unless approved by the City as part of a site plan.
(2) Parking located to the side of a primary structure.
(a) Non-residential uses. If off-street parking is constructed to the side of the
primary structure, no more than forty-five (45) feet of the lot frontage (lot width)
shall be used for off-street parking for non-residential uses, or the minimum
width required for one row of standard parking (as required by the Public
Works Design Manual) and the minimum width fire lane/drive aisle to meet fire
code, whichever is greater. No part of the side parking area shall be within the
required front setback.
i) The Zoning Administrator is authorized to permit up to an additional ten
(10) feet of the lot frontage to be used for off-street parking when
requested, in writing, to permit construction of parking for irregular-
shaped parcels where the shape of the parcel prohibits the construction
of sufficient parking behind the main structure to meet the minimum
parking requirements. However, the Zoning Administrator shall not
permit additional lot width to be used for parking if the addition would
result in more than fifty (50) percent of the lot width to be used for
parking.
DRAFT. subject to change pending review by city attorney and city council
ii) For parking located entirely behind the primary structure, there is no limit
on the amount of lot width that may be used for parking.

(b) Residential uses. If off-street parking is constructed to the side of the
primary structure, and no more than forty (40%) of the frontage of the lot shall
be used for off-street parking. Off-street parking requirements shall be in
accordance with the parking schedule found in section 17-421 hereof. Parking
spaces for at least two (2) motor vehicles shall be provided in an enclosed
garage for any single family dwelling constructed after the date of adoption of
this section. A front entry garage is prohibited unless the vehicle entryway is
screened from view from the front public right-of-way by the dwelling or other
structure. For the purposes of this section, a porte-cochere shall constitute
sufficient screening of a front entry garage provided the vehicle entryway of
DRAFT. subject to change pending review by city attorney and city council
the garage is located no less than eighty (80) feet from the front property line.
Regardless of the orientation of the garage required by this section, any gate
or door to a porte-cochere must be of wrought iron construction and must not
screen more than twenty-five (25) percent of its entryway.
(3) Number of parking spaces.
(a) Minimum. For each permissible use in a Neighborhood center overlay
district, all off-street parking shall be regulated in accordance with the table
below.
Use Type Minimum Number of Spaces Required
Non-residential
Retail, restaurant, medical or dental 1 per 300 square feet of gross building area
office
Office (except medical or dental) 1 per 400 square feet of gross building area
Residential
2 off-street spaces per unit OR 1 off-street space
Single family (attached or detached) and 1 on-street space per unit (on-street parking

Live/work 1 per 300 square feet of non-residential building
area (gross)
For each single-family (attached or detached) or live-work structure, an enclosed garage
behind the primary structure shall be provided to accommodate at least the minimum
required off-street parking spaces. Off-street parking for multi-family uses may be a mix of
covered and uncovered parking, but all such parking shall be located behind the residential
structures and screened according to the requirements of this code for parking and auto-
oriented elements.
(b) Parking provided above the minimum requirements. All parking provided
in excess of the minimum required by city code shall be located behind the
primary structure.
(c) Lot area for off-street parking. The area used for off-street parking may
not exceed fifty (50) percent of the total lot area. Travel lanes serving the
parking lot will count as part of the lot area used for parking spaces; travel
lanes functioning primarily as drive lanes to reach the rear of the lot rather
than as parking lanes (such as drive lanes along parking to the side of the
DRAFT. subject to change pending review by city attorney and city council
structure), however, will not count toward the lot area used for parking
spaces.
(4) Where off-street parking areas for non-residential uses are located adjacent
to a property with a residential primary use in existence before this overlay
district was adopted, the off-street parking areas shall be screened in accordance
with Sec. 17-425, except that breaks in the screening structure in accordance
with Section 17-420.1(4) shall be provided, as needed, to accommodate
pedestrian and cyclist connections across properties (if provided). Screening
shall be maintained in good condition at all times.
(5) Shared parking. Shared parking is permitted if a shared parking agreement
has been signed and notarized by all users/parties who intend to share parking.
The shared parking plan will be subject to review and approval of the
Administrator, and the parking agreement must be filed with the Tarrant County
Clerk. A reduction of up to twenty percent (20%) of the required parking may be
permitted. Parking may be shared by different uses on a shared or adjacent site,
but the parking facility must be located within six hundred (600) feet of the
primary structure for each use. The Administrator is not required to approve a
reduction in the required number of parking spaces.
(6) Bicycle parking. Bicycle parking shall be provided for every non-residential
use.
a) Parking amount. Bicycle parking shall be provided at a minimum
amount of five (5) percent of the number of spaces provided for car
parking.
b) Design of bicycle parking spaces. For each required bicycle parking
space, a stationary object shall be provided to which a user can secure
a bicycle with at least two points of contact with a 6-foot cable and lock.
The stationary object shall be either a freestanding bicycle rack or a
wall-mounted bracket. Freestanding bicycle racks shall be inverted "U,"
post and ring, or some other form of bicycle rack providing at least two
points of contact. Grid/fence-type racks and wave/ribbon-type bicycle
racks are prohibited. Objects for securing bicycles must be dedicated
for that purpose and may not be primarily for any other purpose (e.g.,
signage, traffic safety).
i) Location of bicycle parking. The bicycle rack shall be located within 60
feet of the main entrance of the building it serves, and may be located
between the street curb and the building, subject to the approval of the
Development Services Director. Each bicycle parking area shall be
separated from motor vehicle parking and maneuvering areas by a
barrier, post, or bollard or by at least five (5) feet of open space.
DRAFT. subject to change pending review by city attorney and city council
ii) Shared bicycle parking. Up to two (2) bicycle parking spaces may be
shared by different uses on a shared or adjacent site, but the parking
facility must be located within a hundred (100) feet of the primary entry
for the primary structure for each use.
(h) Blank wall limitation.
(1) Blank walls longer than forty (40) feet are prohibited for all uses (residential
and non-residential).
(2) For purposes of this district, "blank wall" means any building wall that is a
portion of a building wall or fagade without a window or door or similar
architectural feature and is over four (4) feet in height from ground level and
longer than forty (40) feet, as measured horizontally, without having a window,
door, building modulation, or other similar architectural feature meant to lessen
the apparent bulk or massing of a structure.
(i) Glazing requirements.
(1) For any primary structure, a minimum of twenty (20) percent and a maximum
of sixty (60) percent of the primary fagade shall have glazing. At least one other
fagade shall have a minimum of twenty (20) percent glazing on all floors.
(2) For non-residential uses, ground floor glazing on the primary facade shall
have a maximum sill height of four (4) feet.
(j) Building orientation and disposition. Each primary structure shall have its primary
entrance oriented to the front of the lot (toward the street right-of-way) on which it is
located. Additional entry points may be provided on side or rear fagades, but primary
entries shall be oriented to the front of the lot. For corner lots, the primary entrance
may be oriented toward the street intersection (corner).
(1) Where permitted under Section 17-421 of the Kennedale City Code, drive-
through lanes, auto service bays, and gas station canopies for commercial uses
shall not be located with frontage along any primary street. Drive-through lanes,
auto service bays, and gas station canopies shall be hidden behind a 3' high
street screen along all other frontages (see illustration below). The street
screen shall be made up of (i) a living screen or (iii) a combination living and
primary building material screen (see Section 17-425 of the Kennedale City
Code and sub-section (1) of this ordinance for details).
(2) No more than seventy (70) of a lot's frontage along a non-primary street may
be dedicated to drive-through lanes, canopies, service bays, and other auto-
related site elements. There shall be no such limitation along alleys and
internal block frontages.
(3) All off-street loading, unloading, and trash pick-up areas shall be located
internal to the site, along alleys, or along non-primary streets only. If a
site has no frontage on a non-primary street or alley access, off-street
DRAFT subject to change pending review by city attorney and city council
loading, unloading, and trash pick-up areas may be permitted along the
side of a building or along a primary street.
(5) All off-street loading, unloading, or trash pick-up areas along any street
frontage shall be screened as required by this section. Any use
permitted with a conditional use permit shall be required to be screened
as required by this section.

Rachel Roberts, City Planner
III. Summary:
Request: rezoning from "AG" to "R-1"
Location: north side of Swiney Hiett
Applicant: Summit Custom Homes
Surrounding uses: single-family residential: Beacon Hill and Falcon Wood are across Swiney Hiett,
The Vineyard is directly behind one of the properties, and the larger lot single family homes on Collett
Sublett are also nearby.
Staff Recommendation: approve
Background and Overview.
These properties are part of the Oliver Acres addition, originally dedicated in 1940. The properties are
zoned "AG," which requires a minimum of 1 acre for development. The area is primarily single family
residential. Summit Custom Homes has requested to rezone the properties in question from their
current zoning of"AG" Agricultural to "R-1" Single Family Residential. Surrounding properties are
zoned agricultural and single family residential (R-1, R-3, and The Vineyard PD).
A summary comparison of the development standards for each district is as follows: minimum lot area
under AG zoning is 1 acre, whereas R-1 lots are required to be at least 1/2 an acre. A change in
zoning would increase the potential number of lots from 4 to 8. Minimum lot width is smaller in AG
districts than in R-1 districts, but minimum lot depth is the same in the two districts. Front and side
setback minimums are the same in AG and R-1, but required rear setbacks are smaller in R-1 than in
AG districts. The minimum living area for homes and the masonry requirements are the same in both
districts.
Staff Review.
Compliance with the comprehensive land use plan.
The comprehensive land use plan identifies this area as Neighborhood and Neighborhood Corridor
(the immediate frontage along Swiney Hiett is Neighborhood Corridor, while the bulk of the acreage is
Neighborhood; see attached illustration). The Neighborhood district is intended to be residential in
character; a full description of the character district is included with this report. R-1 zoning is in
compliance with the character district description (or as close as any of our residential zoning districts
can come to it).
The Neighborhood Corridor district is intended to provide commercial uses along particular roadways
within the city. While this area may transition to including some commercial uses in the future, the
kinds of commercial uses intended for the Corridor districts will need to develop over time as density
increases in the area. At this time, a Neighborhood use is the most suitable development pattern for
area.
Staff considers the requested zoning to be in compliance with the comprehensive land use plan.
Compliance with the strategic plan.
The strategic plan's recommendations are not applicable to this rezoning request.
Compliance with City Council priorities.
The Council has two priorities related to this rezoning request: (1) Enhance the Business Climate --
Increasing resident population was noted as part of enhancing the business climate; and (2) Balance
the Tax Burden -- Creating higher density housing was identified as one way to balance the tax
burden. The proposed rezoning increases potential density (reducing minimum lot size from 1 acre to
Y2 acre) and increases potential number of new residents while also maintaining the neighborhood
character of the area.
Staff Recommendation.
The requested rezoning is in compliance with the comprehensive plan and Council priorities and does
not conflict with the strategic plan. Staff recommends approval.
Action by the Planning &Zoning Commission.
The city code describes the Commission's role in requests for rezoning [in Sec. 17-429(e)]: after
conducting a hearing, you shall report your recommendation to the City Council. You may recommend
approval or denial (with or without prejudice), or you may postpone action on the request until a later
date.
For your reference, sample motions are listed below.
• I make a motion to recommend approval of Case PZ 15-11.
• I make a motion to recommend approval of Case PZ 15-11, with the following changes to the
ordinance {list changes}.

KENNEDALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Neighborhood Village
i� These villages serve the surrounding neighborhood and community. They are
smaller and less intense than Urban Villages. Uses should include a dense mix
of residences and businesses. Neighborhood Villages should be very easily
accessible by foot from the surrounding neighborhoods. Intensity of each
Neighborhood Village will vary based on the surrounding context.
Sample Development Types:
• Town home/Rowhouse • Restaurant
• Context-sensitive small-scale • Cafe/coffee shop
multifamily • Community theater
Hirp'Ert Massy lm, s • Neighborhood-serving retail
w :k and services
Neighborhoods
This district is primarily residential in nature. Neighborhoods should have
-� defined boundaries, a clear center, and be easily accessible to day-to-day goods
and services, such as those provided at Neighborhood Villages. The center of a
neighborhood should be a civic, public, or community use in which people can
come together—such as a park, school, or neighborhood amenity center.
Sample Development Types:
• Single family • Context-sensitive small-scale
TheKlboda-r� Tel • Attached single-family multifamily
• Town home/Rowhouse • Clearly marked centers that
include public gathering
• Accessory dwelling unit space, school, small park, or
• Cluster development other civic use
Conservation Overlay
This area is intended to preserve the rural and cultural landscape of Kennedale
and serve as a buffer between adjacent communities. This will provide a
greenbelt gateway into Kennedale and help the city retain a geographic identity
distinct from surrounding areas.
