Case Information

Zoning Case: SUP11-1 i-1 Prepared: 7-13-11 MARIA CARBAJAL

Applicant: Chesapeake Operating represented by Dusty Anderson Property Owner: HB & Adelaide Griffin Rev. Trust Sector Plan: West Council District: 4 Allowable Uses: All uses in Agriculture (A) and Residential (R) zoning as

itemized in Attachment ii. Development History: The subject site is currently not platted and is commonly known

as a portion of Tract 4A2 of the S.A. Houston Survey, A-0714. A plat must be approved and filed with Tarrant County prior to issuance of a gas well permit.

Transportation: The proposed development has access from West Pioneer

Parkway.

Traffic Impact: An SUP does not alter the underlying zoning and therefore will

not alter the traffic generated over the life of the well. The trips generated during the drilling process are mitigated with the Road Damage Fee. A transportation route will be required to be established at the time of permitting.

Water & Sewer: The following information is needed at the time of permit to

evaluate the suitability of the water distribution system to serve as the supply source for a gas well drilling site:

1. A site plan of the proposed drill site, including the

location of the fire hydrant(s) proposed to supply water to the site.

2. An estimate of total volume of water desired. 3. Approximate dates water supply will be needed.

Based on the information provided, additional infrastructure may be required to be constructed.

Drainage: The site is located in the Lower Village Creek drainage basin

and no portion of the site is located within the FEMA floodplain. No significant drainage impacts are expected to result from development of this site as long as applicants comply with all relevant city ordinances.

Fire: Fire Station Number 14, located at 5501 Ron McAndrew Drive, provides protection to this site. The estimated fire response time is 2.27 minutes, which is in keeping with recommended standards.

Property Owners: 18 Letters of Support: 0 Letters of Opposition: 0 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION SUMMARY: Public Hearing: July 13, 2011 Zoning Case SUP11-1 (Griffin Drill Site - 4500 West Pioneer Parkway)

Application for approval of a Specific Use Permit for gas drilling on approximately 4.291 acres zoned Agriculture (A) and Residential (R); generally located south of West Pioneer Parkway and east of West Green Oaks Boulevard.

Maria Carbajal, Gas Well Coordinator, presented this case.

Present to speak in support of this case was Cliff Mycoskie, MMA, Inc., 200 East Abram Street. He stated that this site was approved by P&Z and Council in 2008 and a gas well permit was issued in 2009 but has expired. He mentioned that the location of the pad site is consistent with the prior submittal with the addition of a frac pond at the rear of the site. He said that the pad was placed away from Pioneer Parkway in order to provide a buffer for the residential uses to the north which meets the City's 600-foot requirement. He stated that the closest residential structure is approximately 850 feet away. He mentioned that there is a 220-foot tree buffer on the north side of the pad and a 500-foot buffer to the south. He said that the preserved trees around the site will help screen the view. He stated that the topography of the site makes it difficult for any commercial or residential development which is why it has remained vacant. He mentioned that the frac pond will be removed after drilling is complete.

Present to go on record in support of this case was Charles Davis, Chesapeake Energy, 100 Energy Way, Fort Worth; Jacob Sumpter, MMA, Inc., 200 East Abram Street; and Pat Remington, Griffin Revocable Trust, 416 West 8th Street, Dallas.

Kevin McGlaun made a motion to approve Zoning Case SUP11-1, with the following stipulations:

Staff Report

Specific Use Permit SUP08-13 (Griffin Drill Site) City Council Meeting Date: 7-1-08 Document Being Considered: Ordinance RECOMMENDATION Following the public hearing, consider First and Emergency Final Reading for Specific Use Permit SUP08-13. PRIOR BOARD OR COUNCIL ACTION On June 18, 2008, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval by a vote of 7-0-1. ANALYSIS Current Planning The applicant is requesting a Specific Use Permit for Gas Drilling on a 3.228-acre tract of land zoned “A” (Agriculture) and “R” (Single family residential with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet). The Specific Use Permit complies with the Gas Drilling and Production Ordinance. This property is located south of West Pioneer Parkway and east of West Green Oaks Boulevard with the approximate address being 4500 West Pioneer Parkway. In lieu of providing additional landscaping, the applicant indicated that the existing trees will remain around the perimeter of the drill site. On June 13, 2008, the applicant submitted the attached letter requesting an emergency final reading for this case. The emergency final reading is being requested due to the conditions that a Gas Well permit application may not be submitted for this site until zoning is approved and that the City Council meets only once in July. Comprehensive Planning Although the site meets the strategies outlined above for industrial uses in the 1992 Comprehensive Plan, neither the 1992 Comprehensive Plan nor the West Sector Plan address gas drilling as a specific use. City Council, however, recently adopted Ordinance 07-071, which allows gas drilling with a specific use permit in the "B" zoning district. FINANCIAL IMPACT None ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Attached: Ordinance with Exhibits A and B Case Information with P&Z Summary 11 x 17 Site Plan Emergency Final Reading Request Under separate cover: None Available in the City Secretary’s office: None STAFF CONTACT(S) Maria Sayas Carbajal, Planning Manager Darren Groth, Planner Community Development and Planning Community Development and Planning 817-459-6661 817-459-6670 Maria.Carbajal@arlingtontx.gov Darren.Groth@arlingtontx.gov

Case Information

Zoning Case: SUP08-13 A-2 Prepared: 05-19-08 DARREN GROTH

Comprehensive Plan Analysis: The West Sector Plan designates this area as "LD" (Low Density

Residential), which is intended for detached single family residential units. The 1992 Comprehensive Plan includes a number of strategies for industrial uses/developments, such as locating new industrial areas near a major arterial intersection with direct access to a major arterial or a freeway and locating industrial development in areas with availability of utilities such as power, water, and waste disposal facilities at or near the site. The subject site, which is currently undeveloped, is located at the intersection of two major arterials, West Green Oaks Boulevard and West Pioneer Parkway. Although the site meets the strategies outlined above for industrial uses in the 1992 Comprehensive Plan, neither the 1992 Comprehensive Plan nor the West Sector Plan address gas drilling as a use. However, City Council recently adopted Ordinance 07-071 allowing gas drilling with a specific use permit in "A" and “R” zoning districts. In addition, the proposed use for gas drilling and production will require a Gas Well Permit and must also comply with the standards outlined in the "Gas Drilling and Production" Chapter of the Code.

Current Planning Analysis: The applicant proposes to develop a gas drilling and production

facility complying with all of the Gas Drilling and Production Ordinance requirements. In lieu of providing additional landscaping, the applicant indicated that the existing trees will remain around the perimeter of the drill site.

Transportation: The proposed development has access from West Pioneer

Parkway.

Thoroughfare Existing Proposed

120-foot 6 lane divided

Traffic Impact: An SUP does not alter the underlying zoning and therefore will

not alter the traffic generated over the life of the well. The trips generated during the drilling process are mitigated with the Road Damage Fee.

Water & Sewer: Water and sewer lines are available along West Pioneer

Parkway.
