This item is recommended by the Economic Development Department. 2. Impact: Development of these properties will positively impact Heritage Crossing by providing for the construction of new, high quality single family homes and townhomes; renovation of up to three existing homes; as well as, an opportunity to develop the vacant commercial lot at 124 S. O'Connor Rd. 3. This item was presented to the Planning and Development Committee on April 6, 2017. 4. The offering of these properties for development has been presented at several Planning and Development Committee meetings. A number of sample development plans have been presented to offer suggestions on the type, scope, and quality of the development expected. The original concepts showed a “mother-in-law” suite as separate living quarters on several concepts. The “mother-in-law” concept has been removed from consideration and will not be allowed. 5. The City land banked approximately 9.66 acres of land in Heritage Crossing that is now recommended for new residential development. The properties are scattered but are generally located south of Second Street, north of Sixth Street, east of O’Connor Road and west of Britain Road. These tracts will be offered in multiple groupings to include single lot offerings to encourage a variety of home builders to participate in the revitalization. The approximately five-acre tract just east of the Heritage Senior Recreation Center will be offered to a single developer for redevelopment with a multi-lot single-family development. 6. There are three existing single-family residences within the land bank that will be offered as renovation projects. These homes will be required to be improved to meet all city codes. Alternatively, if renovation is not feasible, the properties may be redeveloped with new housing. 7. The assemblage of the property into the land bank allows the City to offer the property at a competitive bid price that requires high quality development. Therefore, while no minimum bid has been set, the current property value will be listed for reference. The City will, however, require a performance guarantee in the form of a deed restriction, bond, letter of credit or other acceptable guarantee to assure that the property is developed per the plans approved by the City. 8. The City land banked approximately 0.20 acres of land in Heritage Crossing that is now recommended for new commercial development. The tract located at 124 S. O’Connor Rd. (northeast corner of O’Connor Road and 2nd Street) is expected to be developed for a commercial use. The property has been used for public parking for a number of years, but lends itself to new retail or other commercial or office uses due to its exposure to the intersection. This property will be offered in a separate offering from the residential offerings. 9. The commercial tract at 124 S. O’Connor Rd. was purchased utilizing a land bank grant program from North Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG). Upon sale of the property, a reimbursement of the grant will be made pursuant to the grant guidelines. Based on the current appraisal of the property, the City will reimburse NCTCOG $188,000.00. 10. For both the commercial and the residential properties, bidders will be required to submit a design/development plan demonstrating how these developments compliment or enhance revitalization of Heritage Crossing. The City will retain the right for final approval of the plans, specifications and use of the property. Bidders will be required to demonstrate their ability to deliver the projects in a timely fashion. 11. In advance of circulating the opportunities for bidding, Corporate Communications is developing an awareness campaign that will focus on the recent advancements in the downtown area as well as these new opportunities. City publications, website and social media will be a part of the campaign. 13. This is the first step in a two-step process. Once the bids have been received, they will be presented to City Council for consideration.

The owner completed the façade enhancement for the Planet Fitness building including parking improvements adjacent thereto, general parking lot cleaning/restriping, removal of the existing pole sign along Pioneer Drive and improvement to the fueling station. However he did not complete the landscaping or other façade and sign improvements required by the terms of the agreement before the December 23, 2016 expiration date, and was therefore not eligible for reimbursement for the improvements that were completed. Those completed improvements including both Planet Fitness and the fueling station are now in operation. 7. The current request is for a new agreement to install landscaping in accordance with a City approved landscape plan (including a landscape sprinkler system and site improvements to accommodate new landscape areas) and painting of the street facing fascia, walls and soffit of all the existing tenant lease spaces, (excluding the recently renovated Planet Fitness building). This work was included in the previous agreement but not able to be undertaken before the agreement expired. The total estimated cost of the qualifying improvements under the new agreement is $99,000.00 with a reimbursement request for $49,500.00. 8. Since this will be the applicant’s second request for funding in less than one (1) year since City Council approval of the previous 380 agreement on June 23, 2016, City Council is being requested to waive this requirement of the ordinance as part of the current approval process. 9.

This request is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. 3. The applicant is requesting rezoning to allow an existing “Hops & Vines” restaurant the attendant accessory use of the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption. 4. The subject property is a lease space in a multi-tenant retail building. The restaurant is 1,502 sq. ft. in area with a total of 24 seats. A total of 10 parking spaces are required at one space per 2.5 seats, with 10 parking spaces provided as part of the retail parking. 5. Staff can support this case since it meets all of the requirements of the R-AB ordinance 6. A total of 275 public notices were mailed. Staff received 22 in support and one in opposition. The opposition represents 0.07% of the land within 200 feet of the subject property. Since this is less than 20%, per state law a ¾-vote is not required for approval. 7.

Ordinance - Zoning Case #ZC17-0001 - Granting PUD (Planned Unit Development) for S-P-1 (Detailed Site Plan) for R-AB (Restaurant with the Accessory Use of the Sale of Alcoholic Beverages for On-Premises Consumption) and Hotel Uses - Approximately 2.47 Acres Located at 525 Meadow Creek Drive - Lodgic Hospitality, Applicant - Sfuzzi Las Colinas Holdings, LLC, Owner. Administrative Comments 1. The Planning and Zoning Commission Hearing Date and Recommendation: April 3, 2017 – Favorable 9-0. 2. The applicant is requesting to rezone to PUD (Planned Unit Development) for S-P-1 (Detailed Site Plan) for R-AB (Restaurant with the Accessory Use of the Sale of Alcoholic Beverages for On-Premises Consumption) and Hotel uses to develop a 159 room, six-story hotel on a site previously developed for restaurant uses. The restaurant building is currently vacant. 3. The Hotel Development Standards require 200 rooms. The applicant is proposing 159 rooms;124 guestrooms with kitchenettes, and 35 guestrooms with kitchens. 4. The Hotel Development Standards require 5,000 sq. ft. of meeting space. The applicant is proposing 2,500 sq. ft. of meeting space. 5. The property is required to have 228 parking spaces, and the applicant is proposing to provide 189 spaces. This is a 17% variance to the parking requirements. However, the applicant is requesting to allow the reduction due to providing an airport shuttle. Additionally, staff believes a growing and substantial number of guests will be using ride-sharing services in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, many other hotels in Irving use a portion of their parking lots as unofficial “park and fly” facilities. Staff therefore believes the current parking requirements can leave a substantial excess of parking above what is needed. For all these reasons, staff can support this variance request. 6. The façade will be clad with stucco, cementitious fiberboard, and stone masonry. Metal fascia will be used as architectural accent materials. 7. The design of the access point on SH 114 is subject to TxDOT (Texas Department of Transportation) approval. 8. The applicant is not providing a full-service restaurant open to the public, as is required in the Hotel Development Standards. The applicant is providing a full complimentary breakfast bar in the morning and a complimentary “evening reception” for guests. Since these are complimentary, they do not count toward the 50/50 food/alcoholic beverage ratio. Additionally, the “Grab & Go Pantry” section is not considered food sales for on-premises consumption, and also would not count toward the ratio.

The 2008 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map recommends Office/Technology/Warehouse uses for this property. This use is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. 3. This site is part of the Avion Business Park development. The subject tract is zoned S-P-2 (Generalized Site Plan) for C-C (Community Commercial) and Travel Services uses. The applicant seeks to rezone and subdivide the existing 11.0 acre lot to allow a gas station and convenience store on a new 1.2 acre lot on the northeast part of the tract at the southwest corner of Esters Road and Royal Lane. 4. The property will include a 3,000 sq. ft. convenience store, six gas pump stations with a canopy, and will have entrances from Esters Road and Royal Lane. 5. The property must be replatted before development. 6. The property must comply with the Convenience Store Design standards and the Landscape and Tree Preservation ordinance. 7. The property is currently used as parking, but a landscaped interior parkway required by the existing zoning is in place along the street frontages, including several mature trees. Under the City’s zoning ordinance, specific landscaping requirements can be stipulated and approved as part of a “straight” zoning case (i.e., a case that is not an S-P-1 or S-P-2 site plan zoning district). The applicant has included a Tree Preservation Plan that shows the majority of the trees along the perimeter to be preserved. The only trees to be removed are those located where the new driveway will be. 8. A total of six (6) notices were mailed. Staff has not received any responses in support or in opposition to this request. 9. This item supports strategic Objective 3.4 – Effectively plan and manage land use.

Ordinance - Zoning Case #ZC17-0010 - Granting S-P-1 (Detailed Site Plan) for Heritage Crossing District, Transit Mixed Use Character Zone and Limited Vehicle Repair Use - Approximately 0.19 Acres Located at 421 N Jefferson - Arnold Redding Jr., Applicant/Owner. Administrative Comments 1. The Planning and Zoning Commission Hearing Date and Recommendation: April 3, 2017 – Favorable 8-1 (Commissioner Taylor, nay), subject to adding a note to the site plan prohibiting commercial painting operations in the building. The stipulation has been met. 2. The 2008 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map recommends Mixed Use uses for this property. This use is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. 3. The applicant is requesting a zoning change to allow limited vehicle repair uses within the Heritage Crossing District. The property is currently zoned S-P-1 (Detailed Site Plan) for ML-20 (Light Industrial) uses. If it were not site plan zoned, the property would be located within the Transit Mixed Use (TMU) Character Zone. The TMU character zone creates opportunities for local, small scale, in-line retail and restaurant, and medium scale urban residential development. Vehicle repair service is not a permitted use by right in this character zone. 4. The applicant is proposing a business-to-business insurance-related vehicle repair service. The site plan notes that the facility will not be available to the general public. All repairs of vehicles will be conducted in the interior of the building. The applicant has provided an interior floor plan that illustrates two (2) offices and open space for vehicle repair. There will be three employees on site. 5. While the use is generally not permitted in the TMU character zone, this use is not out of character with most of the uses on this street. 6. Overnight outside parking or outside storage of vehicles is prohibited and is noted on the site plan. Per the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation, commercial painting operations are also prohibited. 7. A total of eight parking spaces are provided. Since the business is not open to the general public, and since the business can control how many vehicles are brought to the site, staff believes parking is adequate for this limited use. 8. The site was developed under an S-P-1 (Detailed Site Plan) approved in 1989. At that time, landscaping was not required. Due to the layout of the site, staff is reluctant to remove parking spaces to accommodate new trees. However, staff believes a row of hedges can be placed to screen parking adjacent to Jefferson Street. Per the landscaping ordinance, screening hedges should be 2.5 feet tall at the time of planting. 9. The applicant has recently planted some small shrubs; however, they are significantly below the 2½ foot tall requirement. 10. Because of the stipulations on the site plan and the nature of the business, and quality of the existing building, staff can support the use of limited vehicle repair within the transit mixed use character zone. 11. A total of 20 public notices were mailed. Staff has not received any responses in support or in opposition to this request. 12. This item supports Strategic Objective 3.5 – Effectively plan and manage land use. Recommendation The ordinance be adopted per the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission, with the additional stipulation that the existing bushes be replaced with a total of eight (8) evergreen shrubs that are at least 2½-ft tall at time of planting.
Ordinance - Zoning Case #ZC17-0012 - Granting S-P-2 (Generalized Site Plan) for R-6 (Single Family) Uses - Approximately 0.23 Acres Located at 1401 Old Orchard Drive - Jeymi Sutton, Applicant/Owner. Administrative Comments 1. The Planning and Zoning Commission Hearing Date and Recommendation: April 3, 2017 – Favorable 9-0. 2. The 2008 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map recommends Low Density Residential uses for this property. This use is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. 3. The applicant is requesting a zoning change to allow a swimming pool 10.5 feet away from the Oakwood Drive right-of-way, and to continue to allow an existing fence in the current location. 4. The ordinance requires a private swimming pool for a single-family dwelling to be located not less than twenty (20) feet from any street right-of-way. 5. The pool will be located toward the rear of the property in the side yard enclosed by the existing fence. 6. The existing fence location was previously approved per zoning case #3884 (Ordinance No. 5334) in 1987. This zoning request allows the fence to continue at the current location. 7. The pool and fence shall meet the minimum standards and specifications of the City of Irving. 8. A total of 24 public notices were mailed. Staff received one (1) response in support and none in opposition. 9. This item supports Strategic Objective 3.5 – Effectively plan and manage land use.

This item is recommended by the Economic Development Department. 2. Impact: Development of these properties will positively impact Heritage Crossing by providing for the construction of new, high quality single family homes and townhomes; renovation of up to three existing homes; as well as, an opportunity to develop the vacant commercial lot at 124 S. O'Connor Rd. 3. This item was presented to the Planning and Development Committee on April 6, 2017. 4. The offering of these properties for development has been presented at several Planning and Development Committee meetings. A number of sample development plans have been presented to offer suggestions on the type, scope, and quality of the development expected. The original concepts showed a “mother-in-law” suite as separate living quarters on several concepts. The “mother-in-law” concept has been removed from consideration and will not be allowed. 5. The City land banked approximately 9.66 acres of land in Heritage Crossing that is now recommended for new residential development. The properties are scattered but are generally located south of Second Street, north of Sixth Street, east of O’Connor Road and west of Britain Road. These tracts will be offered in multiple groupings to include single lot offerings to encourage a variety of home builders to participate in the revitalization. The approximately five-acre tract just east of the Heritage Senior Recreation Center will be offered to a single developer for redevelopment with a multi-lot single-family development. 6. There are three existing single-family residences within the land bank that will be offered as renovation projects. These homes will be required to be improved to meet all city codes. Alternatively, if renovation is not feasible, the properties may be redeveloped with new housing. 7. The assemblage of the property into the land bank allows the City to offer the property at a competitive bid price that requires high quality development. Therefore, while no minimum bid has been set, the current property value will be listed for reference. The City will, however, require a performance guarantee in the form of a deed restriction, bond, letter of credit or other acceptable guarantee to assure that the property is developed per the plans approved by the City. 8. The City land banked approximately 0.20 acres of land in Heritage Crossing that is now recommended for new commercial development. The tract located at 124 S. O’Connor Rd. (northeast corner of O’Connor Road and 2nd Street) is expected to be developed for a commercial use. The property has been used for public parking for a number of years, but lends itself to new retail or other commercial or office uses due to its exposure to the intersection. This property will be offered in a separate offering from the residential offerings. 9. The commercial tract at 124 S. O’Connor Rd. was purchased utilizing a land bank grant program from North Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG). Upon sale of the property, a reimbursement of the grant will be made pursuant to the grant guidelines. Based on the current appraisal of the property, the City will reimburse NCTCOG $188,000.00. 10. For both the commercial and the residential properties, bidders will be required to submit a design/development plan demonstrating how these developments compliment or enhance revitalization of Heritage Crossing. The City will retain the right for final approval of the plans, specifications and use of the property. Bidders will be required to demonstrate their ability to deliver the projects in a timely fashion. 11. In advance of circulating the opportunities for bidding, Corporate Communications is developing an awareness campaign that will focus on the recent advancements in the downtown area as well as these new opportunities. City publications, website and social media will be a part of the campaign. 13. This is the first step in a two-step process.

The Planning and Development Committee received an update on the Enhancement Incentive Programs on April 6, 2017. 4. The Corridor Enhancement Incentive Program was put into effect in December 2009 to encourage private investment in the renovation and rehabilitation of existing building sites along the City’s corridors.

The owner completed the façade enhancement for the Planet Fitness building including parking improvements adjacent thereto, general parking lot cleaning/restriping, removal of the existing pole sign along Pioneer Drive and improvement to the fueling station. However he did not complete the landscaping or other façade and sign improvements required by the terms of the agreement before the December 23, 2016 expiration date, and was therefore not eligible for reimbursement for the improvements that were completed. Those completed improvements including both Planet Fitness and the fueling station are now in operation. 7. The current request is for a new agreement to install landscaping in accordance with a City approved landscape plan (including a landscape sprinkler system and site improvements to accommodate new landscape areas) and painting of the street facing fascia, walls and soffit of all the existing tenant lease spaces, (excluding the recently renovated Planet Fitness building). This work was included in the previous agreement but not able to be undertaken before the agreement expired. The total estimated cost of the qualifying improvements under the new agreement is $99,000.00 with a reimbursement request for $49,500.00. 8. Since this will be the applicant’s second request for funding in less than one (1) year since City Council approval of the previous 380 agreement on June 23, 2016, City Council is being requested to waive this requirement of the ordinance as part of the current approval process. 9.

Merritt Capital Partners specialize in the acquisition, management, leasing and sale of commercial real estate properties with its primary focus on acquiring underperforming multi-tenant shopping centers and adding value through comprehensive redevelopment, management and leasing. 10.

Additionally, it is included in the Irving Boulevard TIRZ #2 with a 2016 real property taxable value of $4,900,000 and is targeted for “modest redevelopment/adaptive reuse” with respect to future TIRZ valuation and revenue projections. 11. The final payment amount will be determined after staff review and verification of invoices and/or proof of payment by the owner to all contractors, material suppliers and vendors for eligible work performed and/or material and services rendered in accordance with the provisions of the agreement.

A total of 10 parking spaces are required at one space per 2.5 seats, with 10 parking spaces provided as part of the retail parking. 5.

The opposition represents 0.07% of the land within 200 feet of the subject property. Since this is less than 20%, per state law a ¾-vote is not required for approval. 7.

Ordinance - Zoning Case #ZC17-0001 - Granting PUD (Planned Unit Development) for S-P-1 (Detailed Site Plan) for R-AB (Restaurant with the Accessory Use of the Sale of Alcoholic Beverages for On-Premises Consumption) and Hotel Uses - Approximately 2.47 Acres Located at 525 Meadow Creek Drive - Lodgic Hospitality, Applicant - Sfuzzi Las Colinas Holdings, LLC, Owner. Administrative Comments 1. The Planning and Zoning Commission Hearing Date and Recommendation: April 3, 2017 – Favorable 9-0. 2. The applicant is requesting to rezone to PUD (Planned Unit Development) for S-P-1 (Detailed Site Plan) for R-AB (Restaurant with the Accessory Use of the Sale of Alcoholic Beverages for On-Premises Consumption) and Hotel uses to develop a 159 room, six-story hotel on a site previously developed for restaurant uses. The restaurant building is currently vacant. 3. The Hotel Development Standards require 200 rooms. The applicant is proposing 159 rooms;124 guestrooms with kitchenettes, and 35 guestrooms with kitchens. 4. The Hotel Development Standards require 5,000 sq. ft. of meeting space. The applicant is proposing 2,500 sq. ft. of meeting space. 5. The property is required to have 228 parking spaces, and the applicant is proposing to provide 189 spaces. This is a 17% variance to the parking requirements. However, the applicant is requesting to allow the reduction due to providing an airport shuttle. Additionally, staff believes a growing and substantial number of guests will be using ride-sharing services in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, many other hotels in Irving use a portion of their parking lots as unofficial “park and fly” facilities. Staff therefore believes the current parking requirements can leave a substantial excess of parking above what is needed. For all these reasons, staff can support this variance request. 6. The façade will be clad with stucco, cementitious fiberboard, and stone masonry. Metal fascia will be used as architectural accent materials. 7. The design of the access point on SH 114 is subject to TxDOT (Texas Department of Transportation) approval. 8. The applicant is not providing a full-service restaurant open to the public, as is required in the Hotel Development Standards. The applicant is providing a full complimentary breakfast bar in the morning and a complimentary “evening reception” for guests. Since these are complimentary, they do not count toward the 50/50 food/alcoholic beverage ratio. Additionally, the “Grab & Go Pantry” section is not considered food sales for on-premises consumption, and also would not count toward the ratio. The only food service that will count will be the “Salon Bar Cart” which will have “a selection of wine, beer and soft drinks along with snacks, all available for purchase” after the “evening reception”. Mini-bars selling food and snacks may also be available in the guest rooms, and count toward this ratio. Staff has advised the applicant that they will need to report the gross food and beverage receipts appropriately. 9. The companion Development Plan DVP17-0001 for R-AB and hotel uses was approved unanimously by the Planning and Zoning Commission on April 3, 2017. 10. This item supports strategic Objective 3.5 – Effectively plan and manage land use. Recommendation The ordinance be adopted per the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Ordinance - Zoning Case #ZC17-0007 - Granting C-N (Neighborhood Commercial) District Uses- Approximately 1.21 Acres on the Southwest Corner of Royal Lane and Esters Boulevard - CEI Engineering Associates, Inc., Applicant - Avion Management Company, LLC, Owner.

The Planning and Zoning Commission Hearing Date and Recommendation: April 3, 2017 – Favorable 9-0, subject to adding the tree preservation plan as an attachment to and requirement of the ordinance. 2. The 2008 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map recommends Office/Technology/Warehouse uses for this property. This use is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. 3. This site is part of the Avion Business Park development. The subject tract is zoned S-P-2 (Generalized Site Plan) for C-C (Community Commercial) and Travel Services uses. The applicant seeks to rezone and subdivide the existing 11.0 acre lot to allow a gas station and convenience store on a new 1.2 acre lot on the northeast part of the tract at the southwest corner of Esters Road and Royal Lane. 4. The property will include a 3,000 sq. ft. convenience store, six gas pump stations with a canopy, and will have entrances from Esters Road and Royal Lane. 5. The property must be replatted before development. 6. The property must comply with the Convenience Store Design standards and the Landscape and Tree Preservation ordinance. 7. The property is currently used as parking, but a landscaped interior parkway required by the existing zoning is in place along the street frontages, including several mature trees. Under the City’s zoning ordinance, specific landscaping requirements can be stipulated and approved as part of a “straight” zoning case (i.e., a case that is not an S-P-1 or S-P-2 site plan zoning district). The applicant has included a Tree Preservation Plan that shows the majority of the trees along the perimeter to be preserved. The only trees to be removed are those located where the new driveway will be. 8. A total of six (6) notices were mailed. Staff has not received any responses in support or in opposition to this request. 9. This item supports strategic Objective 3.4 – Effectively plan and manage land use.

Ordinance - Zoning Case #ZC17-0010 - Granting S-P-1 (Detailed Site Plan) for Heritage Crossing District, Transit Mixed Use Character Zone and Limited Vehicle Repair Use - Approximately 0.19 Acres Located at 421 N Jefferson - Arnold Redding Jr., Applicant/Owner. Administrative Comments 1. The Planning and Zoning Commission Hearing Date and Recommendation: April 3, 2017 – Favorable 8-1 (Commissioner Taylor, nay), subject to adding a note to the site plan prohibiting commercial painting operations in the building. The stipulation has been met. 2. The 2008 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map recommends Mixed Use uses for this property. This use is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. 3. The applicant is requesting a zoning change to allow limited vehicle repair uses within the Heritage Crossing District. The property is currently zoned S-P-1 (Detailed Site Plan) for ML-20 (Light Industrial) uses. If it were not site plan zoned, the property would be located within the Transit Mixed Use (TMU) Character Zone. The TMU character zone creates opportunities for local, small scale, in-line retail and restaurant, and medium scale urban residential development. Vehicle repair service is not a permitted use by right in this character zone. 4. The applicant is proposing a business-to-business insurance-related vehicle repair service. The site plan notes that the facility will not be available to the general public. All repairs of vehicles will be conducted in the interior of the building. The applicant has provided an interior floor plan that illustrates two (2) offices and open space for vehicle repair. There will be three employees on site. 5. While the use is generally not permitted in the TMU character zone, this use is not out of character with most of the uses on this street. 6. Overnight outside parking or outside storage of vehicles is prohibited and is noted on the site plan. Per the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation, commercial painting operations are also prohibited. 7. A total of eight parking spaces are provided. Since the business is not open to the general public, and since the business can control how many vehicles are brought to the site, staff believes parking is adequate for this limited use. 8. The site was developed under an S-P-1 (Detailed Site Plan) approved in 1989. At that time, landscaping was not required. Due to the layout of the site, staff is reluctant to remove parking spaces to accommodate new trees. However, staff believes a row of hedges can be placed to screen parking adjacent to Jefferson Street. Per the landscaping ordinance, screening hedges should be 2.5 feet tall at the time of planting. 9. The applicant has recently planted some small shrubs; however, they are significantly below the 2½ foot tall requirement. 10. Because of the stipulations on the site plan and the nature of the business, and quality of the existing building, staff can support the use of limited vehicle repair within the transit mixed use character zone. 11. A total of 20 public notices were mailed. Staff has not received any responses in support or in opposition to this request. 12. This item supports Strategic Objective 3.5 – Effectively plan and manage land use. Recommendation The ordinance be adopted per the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission, with the additional stipulation that the existing bushes be replaced with a total of eight (8) evergreen shrubs that are at least 2½-ft tall at time of planting.

Administrative Comments 1. The Planning and Zoning Commission Hearing Date and Recommendation: April 3, 2017 – Favorable 9-0. 2. The 2008 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map recommends Low Density Residential uses for this property. This use is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. 3. The applicant is requesting a zoning change to allow a swimming pool 10.5 feet away from the Oakwood Drive right-of-way, and to continue to allow an existing fence in the current location. 4. The ordinance requires a private swimming pool for a single-family dwelling to be located not less than twenty (20) feet from any street right-of-way. 5. The pool will be located toward the rear of the property in the side yard enclosed by the existing fence. 6. The existing fence location was previously approved per zoning case #3884 (Ordinance No. 5334) in 1987. This zoning request allows the fence to continue at the current location. 7. The pool and fence shall meet the minimum standards and specifications of the City of Irving. 8. A total of 24 public notices were mailed. Staff received one (1) response in support and none in opposition. 9. This item supports Strategic Objective 3.5 – Effectively plan and manage land use. Recommendation The ordinance be adopted per the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
