Affordable Housing in the Amount of $453,600.00
Administrative Comments
1. This item is recommended by the Planning and Community Development
Department.
2. Impact: This project will promote neighborhood redevelopment and revitalization as
well as increasing housing options for Irving residents.
3. Bear Creek Development Corporation (BCDC) has identified a four-plex located in
South Irving to acquire and rehabilitate for the purpose of providing affordable rental
housing options to residents, which helps address strategies and objectives
identified and adopted in the City’s 2014-2019 Consolidated Plan (RES2014-268).
4. The City’s 2014-2019 Consolidated Plan and Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Action Plan
both include multiple goals and strategies relating to ensuring adequate supplies of
affordable housing, both for ownership and rental. The Consolidated Plan
specifically lists rental acquisition and rehabilitation as a high priority. The Action
Plan specifically identifies multifamily rental rehabilitation as a Home Investment
Partnerships Grant (HOME) program priority. The Action Plan also states that an
objective of the HOME program is to expand the capacity of non-profit housing
providers such as BCDC, and that such providers will be encouraged to develop
rental rehabilitation units through a combination of City of Irving and private funds.
This proposed acquisition and rehabilitation project is consistent with the priorities
established in these two Plans.
5. The Housing and Human Services Board (HHSB) received a briefing regarding this
project and approved the allocation of up to $453,600.00 in Home Investment
Partnership Grant (HOME) funds at its September 21, 2016 meeting. This amount

rehabilitation of the units, $33,600.00 for the potential relocation of non-qualified
residents due to the HOME regulations, and $20,000.00 for the maintenance
reserve startup for the project. BCDC is not scheduled to close on the property until
October 21, 2016. Should the final purchase price (which cannot exceed actual
appraised value) exceed the $300,000.00 allocated for the purchase price, BCDC
will provide the balance through funds the organization has on hand.
6. The units are two-story, approximately 1,110 square feet, consisting of two
bedrooms and one and a half baths. Renovations planned include the replacement
of kitchen countertops and cabinets, new appliances, new flooring, HVAC
repairs/servicing, along with interior and exterior paint and potential façade
improvements.
7. Currently, the facility generates approximately $36,000.00 annually in income,
which covers normal expenses including taxes and property insurance. Along with
the maintenance reserve included in this agreement, this income stream would
City Council Agenda 10/13/2016 19
provide BCDC adequate revenue to cover the ongoing maintenance of the four-plex
as well as helping sustain the ongoing operations of their organization.
8. Funding in the amount of $453,600.00 is available in the Home Investment
Partnerships Grant Fund.

4. One sign is 169.5” wide by 226” tall; the other is 109” wide 72” high. No variance is
necessary for the size or placement of these signs, and these signs do not impede
traffic visibility.
5. Since the monument signs are in the same place and are updated designs, and no
other variances are being requested, staff can support this request.
Recommendation
The resolution be approved.

to Change the Recommended Land Use from
"Office/Technology/Warehouse" to "Low Density Residential" and "Retail",
and Granting S-P-2 (Generalized Site Plan) District for R-6 (Single Family)
and C-N (Neighborhood Commercial) District Uses - Approximately 43.26
Acres Located on the Northwest Corner of State Highway 114 and N. Belt
Line Road - TDI GP, LLC, Applicant - Belt Line/114 Properties, LP, Owner
Administrative Comments
1. The Planning and Zoning Commission Hearing Date and Recommendation:
September 6, 2016 – Postpone the case to September 19. September 19, 2016 – a
motion to recommend denial failed by a vote of 2-4 (Commissioners Patel,
Niemeier, Zeske and Patrick, nay; Commissioners Richards, Taylor and Allen,
absent). A subsequent motion to recommend approval failed by a vote of 3-3
(Commissioners French, Hoedebeck and Niemeier, nay; Commissioners Richards,
Taylor and Allen, absent). Since a majority of the Commission did not vote in favor
of the motion to approve, the Planning and Zoning Commission’s by-laws state that
this shall be construed as a recommendation for denial.
2. The subject property is undeveloped. This is a 46-acre tract with approximately
2,500 feet of frontage on SH 114, 1,700 feet of frontage on Belt Line Road, and
1,400 feet of frontage on Royal Lane. Twenty-two acres of the tract were zoned
from “A” (Single Family) district under Zoning Ordinance #209 to R-40 (Single
Family) in 1988, with the expectation that it would eventually be used for
commercial development. According to the case file, the owner at the time opposed
city-initiated rezoning to the FWY (Freeway) district. The remaining 24 acres were
rezoned from R-40 (Single Family) and FWY (Freeway) to S-P-2 (Generalized Site
Plan) for FWY (Freeway) uses in 1988 to allow building setback variances, with the
recognition that dedication of right-of-way for N. Belt Line Road would be required.
R-40 is the zoning assigned to property when annexed. No previous zoning request
has been submitted on the R-40 portion of the site
3. The 2008 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use map recommends
Office/Technology/ Warehouse uses for this tract, as well as the majority of the city
west of N. Belt Line Road to DFW Airport. This use category is intended for offices,
research and technology complexes, warehouse and distribution facilities, and uses
that are more intense than office but less than industrial.
4. The proposed 2016 Comprehensive Plan recommends Business District uses for
this property. The land uses would be non-residential and flexible for retail, office,
and commercial uses, and predominantly mid-rise with a mix of surface and
structured parking. Most of the city west of N. Belt Line Road, and north of SH 114,
would be included in the Business District, as well as being part of the Freeport
Employment Center, an area of concentrated office and industrial uses.
5. The applicant justifies the Comprehensive Plan Amendment request due to the high
demand for residential uses in Irving, including residential recently developed to the
east of N. Belt Line Road and south of State Highway 114 on both sides of N. Belt
Line Road. The applicant contends that it would not negatively affect the area, and
is of sufficient size for a new residential neighborhood while including a commercial
City Council Agenda 10/13/2016 30
area for retail and services.
6. Staff believes this amount of land presents an opportunity for a large commercial
development rather than additional residential along the freeway that is not
contiguous with the other residential neighborhoods.
7. All land to the north, west and east is zoned or developed for commercial, industrial,
and office uses. Four new office/warehouse buildings have been constructed less
than 900 feet to the north. To the west a new 58,000 square foot office building for
the American College of Emergency Physicians was recently completed and
occupied on August 29, 2016. A 238-room full-service hotel has been approved
adjacent to the new office building. Other recent permits issued within a mile of the
site include for a new 118,000 square foot office at State Highway 161 and
Gateway Drive, two new mini-warehouse and climate controlled storage facilities,
and several retail and restaurant buildings. Nearly 300,000 square feet of office
space is being constructed near Freeport Parkway.
8. Regarding the details of the applicant’s proposal, the applicant is proposing 208 lots
zoned for R-6 uses with the following variances (with current standards in
parentheses):
a. Front yard setback of 20 feet (25’ required)
b. Rear yard setback of 15 feet (20’ required)
c. Garage setback of 22 feet (25’ required)
d. Front yard setback with swing garage of 15 feet (25’ required)
e. Porches and balconies may encroach five feet into front setback (no
encroachment allowed)
f. Lot coverage of 60% (40% maximum allowed)
g. Maximum building height of 40 feet (25’ or two-stories allowed)
9. The site plan notes that access to lots will only be to the interior streets, with
entrances to the development on Royal Lane and N. Belt Line Road.
10. Buffer zones and one acre of open space will be provided. Staff believes the open
space is insufficient for 208 lots.
11. The perimeter of the development will be screened with a “six-to-eight-foot high
brick wall”. Staff believes even an eight-foot tall wall will be insufficient buffer to the
highway noise. As noted in the memo from Dan Vedral, Traffic and Transportation
Director, TxDOT will not be providing any sound walls for the subdivision, and the
developer should consider building those at this time.
12. The applicant will provide an avigation easement at platting to hold harmless the
City and DFW Airport from any airport related impacts.
13. A homeowners association will need to be created to maintain the walls and open
space.
City Council Agenda 10/13/2016 31
14. No variances to the C-N district are proposed for the corner tract.
15. Given the position of this property along a major regional corridor (State Highway
114) and a principal arterial (Belt Line Road), and the successful development of
office, industrial and commercial properties nearby, staff believes this is not only an
ideal location for nonresidential development, but a location that is unsuitable for
residential development.
16. A total of 14 public notices were mailed. Staff has not received any responses in
support or in opposition to this request.
17. On Friday, August 26, 2016, staff received an email from the applicant’s
representative requesting this case be postponed to the October 13, 2016 City
Council meeting due to scheduling conflicts. On Monday, October 3, staff received
an email from the applicant’s representative requesting further postponement to the
November 10, 2016 City Council agenda, due to scheduling conflicts.
18. This item supports Strategic Objective 3.5 – Effectively plan and manage land use.
Recommendation
Postpone to November 10, 2016.

4. The new tower will be a 100-foot tall monopole, excluding a 10-foot tall lightening
rod. The monopole will be in the center of a 48’ X 60’ portion of Lot 1, Block A,
Cadenhead Addition and will be able to accommodate additional antennas. This is
considered a “stealth” monopole design because the antennas are inside the pole.
The pole will be painted white to minimize visual obtrusiveness.
City Council Agenda 10/13/2016 32
5. The proposed tower will be approximately 28 feet west of N. Britain Road and 17
feet from the west property line. Access is provided through a proposed 20-foot
ingress/egress and utility easement.
6. The tower will be located on a lot primarily used for auto repair, and that is adjacent
to a railroad on the west side of the lot. The remainder of the surrounding area is
largely residential. The structure is 129 feet from the nearest residence across N.
Britain Road, and the several residences are within the required 255’ separation
requirement in Section 52-32d of the zoning ordinance.
7. One other tower exists within 5,000 feet of the proposed location; however, that
tower is full and there is no room for additional co-location of equipment.
8. The leased portion of the lot will be surrounded by a 6-foot tall chain link fence with
barb wire, surrounded by an 8-foot tall wood fence, both with 12-foot wide gates.
9. A total of 14 trees from the City’s approved tree list will be planted along the north
and east side of the lease space.
10. A total of 34 public notices were mailed. Staff received one (1) response in support
and three (3) responses in opposition. The opposition represents 8.28% of the land
within 200 feet of the subject property. Per state law, a ¾ vote is not required for
approval of this item.
11. The proposed case is in substantial compliance with the Planning and Zoning
Commission’s adopted Antenna/Tower Siting Policies and Guidelines, and is
designed to collapse on itself in the event of an emergency. Therefore, staff can
support this request.
12. On October 6, 2016, staff received a request from the applicant to postpone this
case to the October 27, 2016 City Council meeting to allow the applicant time to
speak with the adjacent property owners.
13. This item supports Strategic Objective 3.5 – Effectively plan and manage land use.
Recommendation
Postpone to October 27, 2016.

Item 43 - Ordinance - Zoning Case #ZC16-0063 - Granting S-P-2 (Generalized Site
Plan) for R-6 (Single Family) District Uses - Approximately 0.783 Acres
Located at 2425 West Oakdale Road - JDJR Engineers & Consultants, Inc.,
Applicant - Numerto Properties, LLC, Owner
Administrative Comments
1. The Planning and Zoning Commission Hearing Date and Recommendation:
September 19, 2016 – Favorable 6-0 (Commissioners Richards, Allen and Taylor,
absent), subject to adding a note to the site plan stating, “All garages shall be rearentry.”
The stipulation of the Planning and Zoning Commission has been met.
2. The 2008 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map recommends Low Density
Residential uses for this property. This request is in conformance with the
Comprehensive Plan.
3. The applicant is proposing to rezone the property to allow up to four lots for single
family residential uses with an exception to the lot width requirements.
4. The required lot width in R-6 (Single Family) district is 50 feet and the applicant is
proposing 48 feet. The current zoning district (R-7.5) requires a 60-ft. lot width. The
widths of adjacent lots range from 34 feet to 42 feet, so these lots are consistent
with the neighborhood.
5. New single family homes will have a minimum of 1,600 square feet air conditioned
space, with a minimum of 80% brick, stone, cementitious board, or stucco.
6. The proposed single family homes will front Oakdale Road. Access to the homes
will be from the rear through a 20-ft. alley.
7. Staff can support the case and believes the new residential homes would be
appropriate infill development to the adjacent properties.
8. A total of 61 public notices were mailed. Staff received one (1) response in support
and one (1) notice in opposition to this request. The opposition represents 6.25% of
the land within 200 feet of the subject property. Since this is less than 20%, state
law stipulates that a ¾-vote is not required for approval.
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.

Items 44 & 45 - 44 Ordinance - Zoning Case #ZC16-0072 - Granting S-P-2 (Generalized Site
Plan) for C-OU-2 (Commercial Outdoor) District Uses - Approximately 24.1
Acres Located at 1251 E. Airport Freeway - Jacobs & Associates,
Applicant - Clay Cooley Real Estate Holdings 3, LLC, Owner
Administrative Comments
1. The Planning and Zoning Commission and Hearing Date: October 3, 2016 –
Favorable, 9-0, subject to adding the following notes to the Site Plan:
a. The new parts and service building on the east side of the lot shall include
the following:
i. A masonry wainscot on the entire street-facing façade;
ii. A masonry wainscot to the eastern half of the southern façade; and
iii. Adding awnings over the public pedestrian entrances of the building.
b. All notes and requirements from Zoning Case ZC16-0015 (Ordinance No.
2016-9816) are hereby included by reference into this site plan, except
where otherwise noted herein.
2. The stipulations of the Planning and Zoning Commission have been met.
3. The subject property is developed with an automobile dealership with one 55,000
sq. ft. sales/office building and a 23,500 sq. ft. service center. The existing
dealership building fronts on State Highway 183 with vehicle display spaces on
three sides.
4. The applicant is dividing the tract into three lots to allow two additional auto
dealerships on the site with two additional dealership buildings, two additional parts
and service buildings, and the addition of a car wash onto the existing parts and
service building. The site plan, landscaping plan, building orientation and building
materials were all approved on May 12, 2016 per zoning case ZC16-0015.
5. After the concrete masonry unit façade was approved by Council, the applicant
requested to staff to use a textured metal panel system on the facades of the
service buildings that would have a masonry look. Additionally, the applicant
designed the entire façade of the service buildings without a masonry wainscoting
along the bottom of the building that provided another masonry material as required
by the Commercial Design Standards and the adopted zoning site plan. The
applicant ordered the material prior to confirming it could be used. The applicant is
reluctant to add a masonry wainscot for areas that will not generally be seen by the
public or from a roadway, due to the expense of adding the masonry to the
proposed material.
6. The applicant has worked with staff and now proposes to use the textured panels
as the primary material for the two new service buildings, and add a masonry
wainscot along a portion of the eastern parts and service building. The applicant is
proposing to clad the entrance and exit of the service bays of that building with the
masonry wainscot, as well as some masonry wainscoting on the Carl Road side.
City Council Agenda 10/13/2016 35
The applicant did not provide wainscoting on the entire Carl Road side or the rest of
the façade of this building on the interior of the site before or during the Planning
and Zoning Commission hearing.
7. The applicant also proposes that the western parts and service building use only
the one textured metal façade material, and metal panels as a rear (north) façade
material. A metal parapet would provide an accent material, with a change in height
to provide articulation. Since it is not visible from the street and is adjacent to the
fuel storage tanks and a truck distribution facility, staff supports the proposed
design of this building.
8. Finally, the applicant proposes to use the same primary material to create a car
wash bay on the western end of the existing Chevrolet parts and service building.
9. Staff can support the use of the proposed primary materials on the new parts and
service building on the west side of the lot, as well as the western end of the
existing parts building, without additional materials or wainscoting. These buildings
are not generally visible to the public or from public roadways, as they are blocked
by a distribution center to the north, the Exxon fuel tank farm to the west, and by
one of the new dealership buildings to the south.
10. Regarding the new parts and service building on the east side of the lot, staff can
support the use of the proposed primary material as well. However, staff believes
the masonry wainscoting should be on all east-facing portions of the building, and
the entire eastern half of the south side of the building. Staff also recommends
adding awnings over the doorways, to add architectural interest as well as a
courtesy to the customers.
11. A total of nine (9) public notices were mailed in support. 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.
