PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AND CONTINUE TO NEXT SCHEDULED
MEETING
Open public hearing and motion to continue the public hearing to the next
scheduled meeting regarding a request for a Planned Development of A
Barnard Survey, A-107, Tract 1A and 10; Adam Bradford Survey, A-152,
Tracts 1, 1A2, 1A3, 1A4, 1A07, 1B, 4, 4B, 4B1, 4B1A, 4B1A2, 4B2, 4B2A,

(Community Business District) zoning to Planned Development (PD)
zoning. This property is located at the northwest corner of Airport
Freeway and Highway 360 extending north to Harwood Road.
Chairman McNeese opened the public hearing.
Mike Collins, Director of Planning and Economic Development, gave a brief description
of the case. The applicant, Realty Capital Corporation, is requesting a Planned
Development of approximately 200 acres for mixed-use of commercial and residential
development to be known as Riverwalk at Euless. The location of the proposed
development is at the northwest corner of Airport Freeway and Highway 360 extending
north to Harwood Road. This is a Form Based Code that gives entitlement to street
widths, lot types, setbacks, ingress/egress interaction, etc. The case has been
advertised in the Star-Telegram for a public hearing on February 15, 2011. Staff
recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission open the public hearing for
case #10-02-PD and continue the case to the next scheduled meeting, March 1, 2011.
Chairman McNeese asked for any proponents/opponents to come forward for any
comments.
Harvey Holden, Noise Compatibility Planner for Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport,
1110 Oak Trail, Roanoke, Texas, stated they are in opposition of the development
because of the residential component. The eastern boundary of the proposed site is
located beneath the primary southwest departure corridor. Approximately 400 jet
departures will pass within one mile of the center of the proposed development daily
during south flow. South flow occurs about 70% of the time and is characterized by
aircraft taking off and landing to the south. (A copy of the letter provided to the
Commission is available in the case file)
Vice Chairman Mennis asked Mr. Holden roughly how long is the time frame for the
Noise Level Reduction study, pertaining to item #2 for a 25dB being mandated and
confirmed.
Harvey Holden stated a structural engineer or architect would be able to establish if it
can meet the 25dB. The time constraints would consist of a set of simple tests such as
a man standing inside and outside the structure and measure an event going by.
