The North Richland Hills Planning and Zoning Commission met on October 2, 2025, for a work session and regular meeting. The work session primarily featured discussions on potential updates to residential parking requirements for older homes and a review of the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) short-term rental (STR) text amendment. The regular meeting included two approved zoning changes and a public hearing on adding STR regulations to the TOD code, which was forwarded to the City Council with a recommendation to consider density and spacing restrictions. The meeting was adjourned at 8:32 PM.
