To order a quorum of the planning and zoning commission is present and the meeting has been posted in accordance with the Texas Open Meetings Act of the Texas Government Code.

Staff will discuss the items on tonight's work session agenda.

Yeah, single item agenda may be deceiving as we have a crowd gathering in the hallway out there for you already.

Um evening everyone.

Uh this work session as mentioned just as one item.

Oh, sorry, before we get into the item of the evening, um, for our informational kind of bulletins, we usually let you know about things that are going on in the community, maybe some cool things at the library

or

arts and crafts events and all sorts of fun stuff like that.

Um the the news of the day, North Richland Hills uh right now is uh proposed data centers or and or the data center that we have under construction in Woolliger.

Um obviously very hot topic in social media, and we've been receiving a lot of feedback on the issues.

Um I wanted to make you all aware um and kind of just put it on the record here on Tuesday, June 23rd.

We do have an informational meeting hosted by Provident, which is an applicant for a proposed

uh

data center at 5201 Roof Snow in the old um Santander operations center building, um right back kind of behind Home Depot and or Jason Stilly, kind of in that back in that general area.

Um this is open

to the public.

Uh it is not an meeting in which you would deliberate or um

you know

take any action on anything.

Uh this is a case that will likely come before the planning and zoning commission at some point in the future, and then followed by a public hearing of the city council, as it would require zoning change and is not something that would be permitted by right.

They're proposing about a 200,000 square foot facility, so it's much larger than anything that is permitted by right here in that area.

We do have also uh a Willager uh Woolliger Way and Browning Drive.

There's another a very small data center, about 12,000 square foot that's under construction that was permitted by right as it's an industrial zoned industrially zoned property.

Um however, we are also actively working with the developer of that site has agreed to do a neighborhood meeting with the residents in that immediate area, so we're gonna follow up with them and try to get that scheduled as well.

Although that probably won't be open to the public, it'll just be for those residents in the immediate area.

So

just

kind of put it

put it out there and

let

you all know what is going

on.

We have a bunch of information on our website that kind of talks a little bit more about

the

one that's under construction and some of

the uh

concerns that we've heard from uh water and power usage and all those other sorts of

uh

tidbits of information on the city website in the what people are talking about section.

We have a whole uh data center section there that you're welcome to take a look

at.

Okay, until other fun for this evening.

The one case that I mentioned is a um case that you've seen before.

Well, most of you saw before, I guess.

Uh, welcome to our new commissioner.

Um this case came before the commissioner on May May the 7th as a proposed uh residential subdivision from Sandlin Homes, uh proposed as an RIPD, a residential infill plan development.

Um at the time it was proposing 35 homes and it is now proposing 33 homes.

And so I'm gonna just talk through kind of at a high level their development and the changes that we've seen since the last meeting.

Though I will say that um they will have a presentation that'll talk about their changes that they've proposed and what they've considered since last meeting, and I have a little bit more that we'll share in the regular meeting, but due to the high interest in this topic, I'm trying to keep as much of it as I can into the regular meeting and the public hearing as we can.

So

just kind of run through this.

This is sorry, that was just the site location there just west of Smithfield, uh, in between Smithfield and Hewitt, uh, north of the subdivision along Cortland Drive there, just west of Smithfield Elementary.

This is

a view north on Smithfield, so you see the development would be off to the west side there to the left side of the screen.

Uh similarly, it would be off to the right on this picture.

This

is a view on um north

from

Hewitt Street.

So looking to the north, the property uh on the right side would be the part of the new development, and then this is looking back the opposite direction from Hewitt, so it'd be off to the
