CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY FOR MULTI -FAMILY OR
TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENTS; DIRECTING CITY STAFF TO
CONSIDER APPROPRIATE ZONING AND OTHER DEVELOPMENT
REGULATIONS FOR SUCH DEVELOPMENTS; PROVIDING A
PROCEDURE FOR A VARIANCE FROM THIS MORATORIUM;
PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING THAT THIS
ORDINANCE SHALL TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY UPON PASSAGE
ON SECOND READING.
WHEREAS, the City of Kennedale, Texas 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, the City has an estimated population of 8,350 residents in an area
encompassing approximately 6.59 square miles; and
WHEREAS, the City has experienced a significant amount of new housing and multi -family
growth over the past three years which has not been synchronized with the provision of adequate
public facilities and services based on the increase of population growth from the new development;
and
WHEREAS, during this time period 423 single-family and townhome residential projects
and two :multi -family housing projects creating an additional 382 residential units, have developed in
the City, which represents a 26% increase of population in the City over this short period of time;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council believes that existing traffic corridors in the City are
experiencing unreasonable congestion which has contributed to an increase in traffic accidents and
that additional residential development will impact traffic flow and street operations throughout the
City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed a study and memorandum from consulting
engineering firm Freese and Nichols concluding that hydraulic capacity constraints exist in the City's
major sanitary sewer basin interceptor and that additional demands on the sewer system could cause
significant surcharging and model -predicted sanitary sewer overflows under peak wet weather flows
and recommending that improvements be made to the sanitary sewer system or alternative measures
be taken prior to adding new customers upstream of the identified capacity constraints; and
WHEREAS, the City Council and citizens of the City have concerns about the impacts of
multi -family and townhome developments on essential public facilities, resulting in the creation of
MORATORIUM ORDINANCE Page 1
overcapacity, unplanned needs and other inadequacies of public infrastructure and facilities,
including but not limited to that related to traffic inanagenrent, street infrastructure, park and open
space, police, fire, code enforcement, and data systems, as well as other operational and oversight
systems; and
WHEREAS, the City Council and citizens of the City have concerns about the impacts of
_ainily and townhome developments creating a significant need for other essential public
facilities, including b'ut not limited to park and open space, police, fire, and code enforcement, and
that the failure to provide these public facilities would result in an over capacity of such public
facilities or would be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council and the citizens of the City have concerns about the impacts of
multi-fatuily and townhome developments creating an imbalance between land uses and population
density, specifically impacting non-residential development that serves as a significant source of
funding for public facilities; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that existing regulations in the Unified
Development Code and other applicable development ordinances and regulations are inadequate to
prevent impending new multi -family and townhome development in the City from being detrimental
to the public health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to allow reasonable development in the City while
temporarily maintaining the status quo with regard to new development or construction of multi-
fatniily or townhome projects until such time as the City Council has had a reasonable opportunity to
allow City staff to make recommendations concerning new development regulations and to take
appropriate action on those recommendations as may be required to protect the public health, safety,
and welfare; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 212, Subchapter E, Texas Local Government Code, authorizes a
municipality to adopt a moratorium on property development after proper notice and holding public
hearings; and
WHEREAS, City staff has been directed to review and analyze, with the assistance of
appropriate consultants as necessary, current regulations related to development within the City to
determine whether current classifications and standards are in the best interests of the public health,
safety, and welfare of the City and its citizens, with a focus on the shortages and need for public
infrastructure and facilities created by multi -family and townhome developments and the criteria
identified in Local Government Code Sections 212.135(b) and 212.1351(b); and
WHEREAS, City staff has further been directed to review, analyze and update the City's
Comprehensive Plan to ensure that the Future Land Use Map designations are in the best interests of
the health, safety, and welfare of the City and its citizens; and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council, in compliance with
Chapter 212, Subchapter E, Texas Local Government Code, have given the required notice by
MORATORIUM ORDINANCE Page 2
publication and, after holding public hearings, have afforded a full and fair opportunity for all
residents, property owners and all other interested or affected persons to provide relevant input
regarding the implementation of the moratorium and the City Council has concluded that a
moratorium should be imposed on applications and plans for development for permits, plats,
verifications, rezonings, site plans, and certificates of occupancy for multi -family or townhome
developments within the city limits of Kennedale; and
WHEREAS, public hearings have been held before both the Planning and Zoning
Commission of the City and the City Council in accordance with Subchapter E, Chapter 212, Local
Government Code and all the notice, hearing and other procedural requirements of Section 212.134
have been observed; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds a 120-day moratorium placed on applications and plans
for development for permits, plats, verifications, rezonings, site plans, and certificates of occupancy
for multi -family and townhome developments is a minimally intrusive method of maintaining the
status quo until such review can be completed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF KENNEDALE, TEXAS:
SECTION 1.
All of the above premises and statements are hereby found to be true and correct legislative
and factual findings of the City Council and are hereby approved and incorporated into the body of
this ordinance as if copied in their entirety.
SECTION 2.
The City Council finds that application of the City's existing multi -family and townhome
development regulations is inadequate to prevent new development from being detrimental to the
public health, safety, or welfare of the residents of the City. The City Council finds that possible
adverse effects of multi -family and townhome development in the City could occur if such
development is allowed to proceed prior to implementation of a long-range plan to regulate land uses
and development standards. These adverse effects would include the expansion or creation of uses
and developments that are incompatible with lutwe planned residential and commercial development
within the City, which would lead to reduction in property values, impairment of economic
development, urban blight, and diminishment in the quality of residential life, among other factors.
SECTION 3.
(a) In addition to the legislative and factual findings adopted above, the City Council
makes the following findings regarding a significant need for other public facilities as justification
for a moratorium under Section 212.1351, Texas Local Government Code:
MORATORIUM ORDINANCE Page 3
(b) Over the past three years, there have been 423 single-family and townhome
residential developments and 2 multi -family developments, creating 382 residential units,
constructed in the City in areas where such uses are permitted. This represents a 26% increase
in population. Due to the number of these developments that have been constructed, new
developments of this type under existing development ordinances will result in overcapacity of
municipal infrastructure or be detrimental to the health, safety. and welfare of the residents of the
City.
(c) Existing development ordinances permit the construction of multi -family
developments as of right in designated zoning districts. Development of the currently zoned
areas with multi -family development and townhome uses under existing development
ordinances, as well as approval ofnew rezoning applications for such uses, would significantly
alter the character of those areas and impose a tremendous need for additional public
infrastructure and facilities, including park and open space, police and fire protection, code
enforcement, sewer service, traffic management, street infrastructure, and the failure to provide
those facilities andpublic infrastructure would result in an overcapacity of existing public facilities
and would be detrirnental to the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City.
(d) Existing corridors in the City are experiencing unreasonable congestion which has
contributed to an increase in traffic accidents and additional higher density residential development will
impact traffic flow and street operations throughout the City. Multi -family and townhome development
will impact traffic flows and street operations. The City needs time to evaluate how and to what
extent these developments will impact the roadway network and how and to what extent recent
zoning changes have altered future traffic conditions.
(e) The City has determined that its existing development ordinances are inadequate
to prevent new multi -family and townhome development from causing the overcapacity of
municipal infrastructure or being detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare of
residents because the permissible areas of the City permitting these developments is believed
too large to be accommodated by existing infrastructure, including fire protection, sewer
service, road networks, police protection, water service, and drainage. The City has had a
significant number of rezoning requests to permit new multi -family and townhome development
over the last few years and the City is concerned that not enough information is known to
determine whether approval of future similar requests could cause the overcapacity ofmunicipal
infrastructure, when coupled with the areas already zoned for this type of development.
(f) The objectives of the moratorium are to prevent additional applications for
development that, under existing law, would have to be evaluated under the current
development regulations the City has determined are inadequate to prevent new development of
multi -family and townhomes from causing the overcapacity of municipal infrastructure or being
detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare of residents. Absent a moratorium on the
acceptance of these applications, developers would be able to submit new development
applications for multi -family developments that the City would have to consider under existing
regulations. There are no alternative means ofpreventing consideration ofnew applications in the
absence of a moratorium.
MORATORIUM ORDINANCE Page 4
SECTION 4.
Effective immediately and for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days, no application or
plan for development for a permit, plat, verification, rezoning, site plan, or certificate of occupancy
for multi -family or townhome development shall be accepted and no permit or approval shall be
given for new construction, reconstruction, or remodeling of multi -family or townhome projects on
property that is located within the City of Kennedale. This directive shall apply to all City
employees, officers, officials, agencies, departments, boards, and commissions. The term "permit" as
used in this ordinance shall mean a license, certificate, approval, registration, consent, permit or
other form of authorization required by law, rule, regulation, or ordinance that must be obtained by a
person in order to perform an action or develop or initiate a project for which the permit is sought.
SECTION 5.
Any City employee, officer, official, agency, department, board, or commission in receipt of
any such application or plan for development shall forward the same to the Community Development
Director (the "Director") who shall review the application or plan for development to determine
whether the application or plan for development is subject to this moratorium. Receipt of an
application or plan for development for the limited purpose of such review shall not constitute filing
or acceptance of the application or plan for development. In the event the Director determines that an
application or plan for development is subject to the moratorium, the Director shall take no further
action on the application or plan for development and shall reject same, and shall return the
application or plan for development to the person or entity attempting to file the same.
SECTION 6.
The purpose of this moratorium is to maintain the status quo regarding multi -family and
townhome construction and remodeling on real property located within the City until such time as
the City has reviewed and, if necessary, amended its regulations applicable to these uses. By
studying and adopting development regulations and planning standards for properties within the City,
the City Council seeks to eliminate or minimize such potentially adverse effects on the public health,
safety, and welfare. The moratorium shall apply to multi -family and townhome development in any
zoning district of the City. No new, expanded, or modified multi -family developments are to be
allowed with the city limits of Kennedale until said review is completed and the ordinances of the
City are amended as necessary, or until this moratorium, including any extensions, shall have
expired, whichever occurs first.
SECTION 7.
The findings and conclusions set forth in this ordinance are supported in part by the
Wastewater Capacity Analysis Technical Memorandum from Freese an Nichols dated January 13,
2023, attached hereto as Exhibit A, and by the Written Findings Summary in Support of Moratorium
from Dunaway Associates, LLC dated January 11, 2023, attached hereto as Exhibit B.
MORATORIUM ORDINANCE Page 5
SECTION 8.
City staff is hereby directed to continue the consideration of possible amendments to the
Future Land Use Plan of the City's Comprehensive Plan and the development standards and
regulations in the Unified Development Code and other City regulations and to make
recommendations to the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council as expeditiously as
possible with regard to any such amendments.
SECTION 9.
The City has undertaken to have its Comprehensive Plan and land use regulations
reevaluated to study the issues arising from current zoning and development regulations,
including multi -family and townhome development regulations. The City has retained Dunaway
Associates, LLC for that purpose, which shall make recommendations to the City on any zoning
changes following its analysis. During this time, Dunaway Associates, LLC will provide a
recommendation on the strategy to best address the issues established in this moratorium. The
first phase is expected to take four to six months, with adoption of new regulations to be
accomplished within nine to twelve months.
SECTION 10.
This ordinance does not affect any rights acquired under Chapter 245 of the Texas Local
Government Code (the Vested Rights Act). The provisions of this ordinance do not apply to any
new, expanded, or modified development or use that is being constructed or is to be constructed
pursuant to a development agreement with the City or any completed application or plan for
development for a permit, plat, verification, rezoning, site plan, or certificate of occupancy that was
filed prior to January 20, 2023, being the fifth business day after the date on which the City
published notice of a public hearing to consider this ordinance. The provisions of this ordinance do
not apply to any application for a permit to maintain an existing multi -family or townhome structure.
SECTION 11.
(a) Any property owner who believes that the imposition of this moratorium causes a
unique and unreasonable hardship on their property or business or who believes they are entitled to a
waiver of the application of the moratorium to their application or plan for development shall have
the right to request a variance or waiver of the provisions of this moratorium.
(b) A property owner seeking a variance shall submit a written request to the Planning
and Zoning Commission and the City Council through the City Secretary's office. The request must
provide the following information:
(1) a description of the property to be covered by the variance;
(2) a detailed description of the proposed development and the specific
improvements planned for the property;
MORATORIUM ORDINANCE Page 6
(3) an explanation as to why the application of the moratorium is unreasonable as
applied to the applicant's property; and
(4) a description of any negative impacts created by the moratorium.
(c) The City Secretary's office shall first place the request for a variance on the agenda of
the Planning and Zoning Commission for a recommendation as to whether a unique and
unreasonable hardship exists. The applicant shall receive written notice of the date the variance
request will be heard. City staff shall not be required to provide written notice of the variance
request to any other individual or entity. On the date that the item is set to be heard, the Planning
and Zoning Commission shall conduct a public hearing on the variance request giving any individual
who desires to present information or evidence on the appropriateness or inappropriateness of the
variance the opportunity to appear before the Planning and Zoning Commission and present such
inforrnation. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Planning and Zoning Commission, by majority
vote, may recommend that the variance be granted or denied based on the applicant's showing or
failure to show a unique and unreasonable hardship, respectively.
(d) The City Secretary's office shall then place the request for a variance on the agenda of
the City Council for the final determination on whether a unique and unreasonable hardship exists.
The applicant shall receive written notice of the date the variance request will be heard. City staff
shall not be required to provide written notice of the variance request to any other individual or
entity. On the date that the item is set to be heard, the City Council shall conduct a public hearing on
the variance request giving any individual who desires to present information or evidence to the City
Council on the appropriateness or inappropriateness of the variance the opportunity to appear before
the City Council and present such information. The recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission shall also be considered, but the City Council shall be the City' s sole and final arbiter of
whether a unique and unreasonable hardship has been shown to exist. At the conclusion of the
hearing, the City Council, by majority vote, may approve a variance to the provisions of this
moratorium or may deny the request for variance depending on their determination of whether a
unique and unreasonable hardship has been shown by the applicant. The approval of a variance shall
entitle the applicant to submit an application for the permit(s) for which a variance was sought.
(e) To the extent applicable, a permit applicant on property that is subject to this
moratorium may apply for a waiver from the moratorium in accordance with Section 212.137 of the
Local Government Code. A written request for a waiver shall be submitted to the City Secretary, who
shall forward the request to the Director for processing and recommendation to the City Council. The
City Council may authorize or deny the requested waiver, and if authorized, direct the applicable
City official to accept a completed application and process the application subject to conditions
necessary to ensure that the proposed development would not cause adverse effects to the
surrounding property or the City's infrastructure and to carry out the spirit and purpose of this
ordinance.

Introduction
The City of Kennedale staff requested Freese and Nichols Inc. (FNI) develop a technical memorandum
detailing wastewater capacity analysis results from previous modeling efforts and studies. FNI had
previously evaluated the available capacity of the City's wastewater system to determine how much
future development can be supported by the existing infrastructure. Previous studies completed by both
the City of Kennedale and Arlington were reviewed to inform the available capacity in the wastewater
system. FNI then compared historical population and wastewater flow data with the previous studies to
determine if the capacity issues identified in the past are still present today. Additionally, FNI documented
the hydraulic capacity of the existing wastewater system.
Existing Wastewater Systems.
The City of Kennedale's wastewater collection system consists of eight major sewer basins. Currently, one
basin flows to the City of Fort Worth (Basin D, future Basin E), five basins enter the City of Arlington's
Feather Beach wastewater basin (Basins B, B-1, B-2, C, and C-1), and two basins flow to the City of
Arlington's Kee Branch wastewater basin on the east side of the City (Basins 25A and A). There are also a
small number of City of Arlington customers that flow into Kennedale's wastewater system on the north
side of the City. The City of Kennedale sends all its wastewater to Fort Worth or Arlington for treatment
and has no lift stations. Approximately 80%, 16%, and 4% of the City's wastewater flow is served by the
Arlington Feather Beach Basin, the Arlington Kee Branch Basin, and the City of Fort Worth's system
respectively. Figure 1 displays the existing wastewater collection system for Kennedale.

Historical Projects
2009 Arlington Wastewater Master Plan: This project identified high levels of infiltration/inflow (I/I) from
Kennedale's wastewater system which triggered the need for significant downstream improvements in
Arlington's Feather Beach wastewater system that included:
• 42,270 LF ("'8 miles) of gravity main improvements
• Upsizing 2 lift stations
• Limited corridor along Lake Arlington
Estimated CIP cost of $52 million in 2009 dollars for projects in Arlington's wastewater system
2014 Kennedale Wastewater Master Plan: This project identified existing system and future system
deficiencies in the wastewater collection system that included:
Existing Basin B Interceptor experiencing surcharging under peak wet weather flows
w Basin B and C-1 estimated CIP costs of $2.3 million in 2014 dollars
• Flow meter station and SCADA CIP cost of $0.4 million in 2014 dollars
20L5 Arlington Feather Beach Lift Station Atvsi This project identified potential options for
addressing capacity limitations that included:
• Reduced peak flow rates from Kennedale
• Construct improvements in both Kennedale's and Arlington's system through the Feather Beach
system
Construct improvements in both Kennedale's and Arlington's system to the Kee Branch system
« Construct improvements in Kennedale's system to redirect flow to Fort Worth's system.
202,9 Kennedale Wastewater Impact Fee: This project updated the City's near -term wastewater Capital
Improvement Plan. The major takeaways include:
• Existing system capacity constraints in Basin B and C-1 gravity mains
• Growth not as significant as previously projected
• Potential for growth exists if wastewater capacity and service can be provided
• Basin B and C-1 estimated CIP cost of $4.8 million in 2021 dollars
flow Motltoring Assessments: The Cities of Kennedale and Arlington performed temporary flow
monitoring assessments in 2007, 2010, and 2013. The results of the flow monitoring assessments are
shown in Table 1.

Hydraulic Analysis of the Wastewater System
As part of the 2020 Wastewater Impact Fee Update, FNI used the updated hydraulic wastewater model
to evaluate the wastewater system under peak wet weather flows. The collection system was evaluated
using a q/Q ratio, where q represents the actual flow through a pipe, and Q is the capacity of that pipe.
The q/Q ratio indicates whether the flow rate in the system exceeds the capacity of the network and
causes surcharging, A q/Q. ratio of less than 1.0 indicates the line is not surcharged and not over capacity,
as shown in Figure 4. A q/Q ratio equal to or greater than 1.0 indicates that the line has surcharged, and
the hydraulic gradient is greater than the gradient of the pipe. This indicates the line is surcharging due to
insufficient capacity. Figure 5 gives a visual representation of the surcharged state.
Figure 4: Full Flow Capacity, q/Q < 1.0
Q < 1.0, the pipe is not surcharged.

red are overloaded during existing peak wet weather events. The lines highlighted blue could potentially
surcharge and overflow during a storm event as well. Model results indicate the Basin B interceptor
experiences significant surcharging and model predicted sanitary sewer overflows under peak wet
weather events. A hydraulic profile of the Basin B Interceptor under peak wet weather flows is included
in Figure 7.

Conclusion
■' IUIHOLSS
Previous wastewater studies identified hydraulic capacity constraints in the City of Kennedale's Basin B
Interceptor. Since these studies have been performed, no recommended projects from the City of
Kennedale's Wastewater Capital Improvement Plan have been constructed to reduce or eliminate the
hydraulic capacity constraints. Recent historical meter data indicates the peak wastewater flows conveyed
into the City of Arlington Feather Beach Basin have not decreased since the previous flow monitoring
studies were performed. Hydraulic model results indicate the Basin B interceptor experiences significant
surcharging and model predicted sanitary sewer overflows under peak wet weather flows. These results
only include flows from existing customers and do not account for potential additional development. It is
recommended to consider system Improvements or alternatives prior to adding new customers upstream.
of the identified capacity constraints. The impacted area upstream of the Basin B capacity constraints is
shown on Figure 6.

Dear Mr. Hull and the City ofKmnmedo|e:
Justification for Moratorium / Significant Need For Other Public Facilities (Section
2l2.l35l>
The City ofKennedo|ehas been impacted bythe amount ofnew housing and
multi-farnily growth over the post three years. The City encapsulates a 6.59 square
mile area with an estimated population of 8,530, The city's last update to the future
land use plan as port of the Comprehensive Planning pv000mvvos completed in
2012. In the intervening ten years, the land use plan and subsequent Unified
Development Code (UDC) have not directed growth in the community in
synchronization with [he ability of the city to provide adequate public facilities and
services based on the increase of population growth from the new development.
In the lost three years, the City of 0annedolm has seen two nnV\tifonni|y
development projects constituting 382 multifamily residential units and 423s|ng|e-
fonnUy and townhome residential units. According to the /\rne[|oan Community
Survey of the US Bureau of Census, Kennedole has an average of 2.76 persons per
household, The combined amount of units have had the impact of an additional
Increase in the population mf2'222 residents. This represents o 2696increase of the
population /n Kennedo|e over the observed population. With additional land
being available and within the high'densUyOpeOs as identified in the plan and
within o zoning ordinance that is no longer relevant to the existing nlarket, the
projected amount o[growth will result in overcapacity ofmunicipal infrastructure
or be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of Kennedale.
The existing UDC permits the construction of multifamily development by right in
designated zoning disfhcLs. Development of the currently zoned areas with the
designation of "urban vi||oges" would significantly alter the character of those
areas and impose o need for additional infrastructure, including [ire protection,
wastewater serves, improved road networks, police protection, and water service
and drainage, and the failure tmprovide those public facilities would result in on

overcapacity of existing public facilities and would bedetrimental tothe health,
safety, and welfare of the residents ofKennedo|m.
There are existing oon8moh*d oOn(idors that operate at high volumes. On the
primary arterial highway on W. Kennedcle Parkway 113usiness 287) through the City,
the Average Daily Traffic (AOT) Observed by the Texas Department of
Transportation was 23,575' just south of Village Creek. On approach to the
intersection with Interstate 20' the traffic density increases to 24'486.
Kennedo|e - Sublet Road, an east -west two -lone connector through the
community linking multiple subdivisions and nnu|tifornKy developments has
average daily traffic measured between 4,600 and 8,010 trips from west to east
on its sections. Little School Road' a north-souih arterial has AOT measured
between 6.3l6and 6,ll4.
The number of annual traffic accidents is important because if illustrates the
impact of hof5u opero8ona\issues within the city. The number of total accidents
i0the community has increased onfull annual counts onmajor adeho|sbY23%
from 2018 to 2021.
Additional residential development will impa6i tr0ffIQ flow and street operciflonS.
The City needs time to evaliucte how and to what extent development will IM pact
the road network and how and to what extent zoning will aff ect future growth.
