The North Richland Hills Planning and Zoning Commission held a work session at 6:30 p.m. and a regular meeting at 7:01 p.m. on Thursday, September 18, 2025, at City Hall, 4301 City Point Drive. Seven voting members were present, including alternates Mike Kerby and Jacob Whittaker seated for absent regular members Paul Epperley and Amy McMahon. The Commission approved the prior meeting's minutes and all three special use permit requests on the agenda by 7-0 votes.
Uh on that stop to come up and discuss the items on tonight's work session agenda, please. Hey, one thing to core you want to get ready is uh for the new folks, uh making sure that you're always using the mic. Sometimes we forget it, but there's broadcasting these work sessions now or recording right. So that helps them make sure that all of our citizens can participate. We've had a lot of interest in watching these videos simply, so I would say well we're teasing the microphones so we don't get questions later about what so and so said at this minute works. So thanks so just to start off with a few community updates here. This upcoming Saturday place for now we have a really unique um happy library for the submarine culture series. This uh group some bathy my pronunciation there. Um kind of blended all sorts of different genres and cultural background uh in the afternoon Saturday, so it's open to everybody it's free to attend. Next Saturday, Janice here back at the city hall at the plaza for the beginning of our autumn sound concert series, uh kicking off with the Elton Johns on September the 27th. That'll be followed by a couple more after that um and then conclude on the 11th uh with a digital projection along with that concert. And then don't forget the XA and the 28th or I feel bad for 225 and MRHO and all the pro C O the benefits um go to the uh the internal adoption rescue center. So on your calendar at QR code will take you to the leading to buy uh the biggest for that day. Then what we have not been doing of uh we'll begin to do in that coming meeting just to kind of provide you a rehab of recent council action. Umless every single item that's come to lately bear written that's been approved by the spy went forward and then was approved uh by the state council. These specific things I wanted to kind of highlight and make sure you know what's going on where we stand. Um I think probably some people are expected to see a public hearing on this agenda for the DOD portion of the short-term mental ordinances. Um that's advertised previously to come here. However, at the last city council meeting, uh there were public hearing on the kind of uh initial phase of the short-term mental ordinance um zoning component uh was continued until October the thirteenth. That was really done uh because of the overwhelming amount of public feedback that we received, and we all got it a bit at your meeting, and that continued to just pour in in those days between PNZ and the city council. So to make sure we heard um from everybody that wanted to speak and we got all the feedback together, really kind of put a chance to consider all of those questions and comments. Um Mira had asked the council to continue that hearing. So I'll continue to October the thirteenth, and we can discuss what that might uh impact this public hearing that such tonight uh for the study portion. Um maybe the decisions just hold off and re-notify um to advertise for that one, so it'll be coming back to October 2nd, uh so we can consider it at that point, and then we'll still move forward to sit cancel on October 13th so that they can consider both of the zoning pieces uh in conjunction. Um but rather than have it tonight, we're pushed we pushed it out October second so that we can have one more work session with C council, get a little bit more legal advice, on couple topics that are still kind of pending, and then we'll have a final draft and um though again I know that you know you don't vote on the job or 18 regulations. We want to make sure you have a really good idea where we stand on those uh registration and regulation pieces of the short term before we ask you to consider any additional action on the zoning component. So uh our goal is to then provide that to you shortly thereafter from the October 20 seconds and council meeting, so that you have that information coming to you before the um COD zoning hearing that's scheduled down for October 2nd. So that's kind of the the first two there. And we don't need to open that public hearing tonight since it was.
