The following standards were discussed and have been outlined in the attached redlined document for review. 1. Add language to limit all fences to a maximum 6 ft. in height. Standard Fence: 1. Front, street facing fences are limited to two options: decorative steel, and split-rail wood construction. Maximum 3 ft. in height with no less than 50% transparency. 2. Natural and wood stain colors for wood fences and painted or powder coated black for steel fences. Wooden Privacy Fence: 1.Wooden privacy fences shall be vertical, chemically treated, board-on-board cedar slats with a cedar top- cap. 2.Horizontal members shall be attached to steel posts that are set in a minimum of 2 ft. of concrete. 3.Steel posts shall not be visible from the street. If you can see the steel from the street, they shall be boxed in using same material of fence.

ATTACHMENTS: P&Z truck parking in Industrial tracts - redline City of Haslet_letterofsupport PH Notice for Parking an Industrial Area EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A Public Hearing is being held to hear a proposed Zoning Ordinance change to establish surface parking lots for Commercial Motor Vehicles as an allowable use on Industrial zoned properties pursuant to Article IV Table 4.1-1, and subsection 4.2.5 and 4.2.6 of Chapter 14 of the Zoning Ordinance. ANALYSIS: Currently, surface parking lots are allowed in the “GR” (General Commercial) District but not in the “I” (Industrial) District. This ordinance defines that surface parking lots for automobiles and motorcycles are allowed as a primary use in the “GR” Districts and Commercial Motor Vehicle parking as a primary use of land as an allowable use in the “I” District. Furthermore, the following restrictions are placed on the surface parking for Commercial Motor Vehicle Parking: • Shall be screened when located adjacent to any residential uses or public right-of-way with a screen in accordance with Article V: Design and Development Standards. • A semitrailer may not be stored for more than 30 consecutive days. • No container or storage containers are allowed.

City of Haslet, TX ATTN: Maurice Schwanke, Bureau Veritas 101 Main Street Haslet, TX 76052 January 30, 2023 RE: Text Amendment to allow Truck Parking in the City of Haslet Letter of Support Dear Mr. Schwanke, I am writing to you on behalf of Harmon Road TH LLC, the owner of the property located at 112 Harmon Road, Haslet, TX. In an effort to deliver a development on our prospective property, we have brainstormed several iterations of concepts and site plans on the Harmon Road property. Most recently, we pursued a pipeline relocation request with Energy Transfer, and ultimately determined the cost of relocation to construct a building did not make economic sense. Throughout the country, there is a truck parking shortage often creating situations where truckers have little to no choice but to park their truck on the side of the road, in residential areas, or in other illegal parking areas. This creates several safety and local municipal concerns related to overnight parking requirements. Municipalities, cities, economic development organizations, and other entities are brainstorming ways to permit certain freight uses, including truck parking. In an article by Transport Topics published January 11th, Nicole Katsikides of the Texas A&M Transportation Institute noted, “the way people buy goods and their preferences are changing,” and warned “communities need to develop ecosystems to support the evolutions of freight technology.” The article summarized discussions had at the Transportation Research Board annual meeting in Washington D.C. in mid-January. A core focus on discussion was on the DFW area due to “its strategic and geographic importance to freight transportation.” Overall, the truck parking land use lessens the strain on freight and logistics transportation throughout the area, while reducing travel times and miles driven for existing infrastructure, delivery timelines, and fleet efficiency. We feel as though the 112 Harmon Road property suits the proposed truck parking land use designation due to its central location in the Alliance industrial area, lack of residential or residentially zoned lots nearby, and its constrained developable area with the underground pipeline existing directing through the center of the site. As a former municipal planner, and now industrial developer, I believe truck parking is a less intensive industrial land use than other industrial designations, and does not cause typical industrial nuisances to adjacent properties. Where appropriate, truck parking benefits the entire area and community as a whole and provides parking services in an industry with a significant gap in availability. We hereby support the proposed text amendment to allow truck parking within the industrial zoning. If you have any questions, I can be reached at charmon@timberhillgroup.com. Sincerely, Connor Harmon, Associate Director of Development Harmon Road TH LLC Page 26 of 34  Agenda Item #5.5.C.

ATTACHMENTS: P&Z I-35 Overlay redline PH Notice for I-35 0verlay EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A Public Hearing is being held to hear a proposed change to establish an I-35 W overlay district pursuant to adding of Section 3.6.2 of Chapter 14 of the Zoning Ordinance. ANALYSIS: Prior Haslet Zoning Ordinance versions had an area called the I-35 W Overlay District. Revisions to the Ordinance removed the description identifying the limits where the overlay existed, but left intact references to the Overlay District. This ordinance revision reestablishes the overlay and identifies the area as shown as commercial on the Master Land Use Plan within the I-35 W corridor. The purpose and intent of the I-35 W Overlay is to regulate the development of signage in an area along the I-35 W corridor where increased visibility of signage for onsite development is needed for viable site development. The limits are as shown below: Page 28 of 34 Agenda Item #5.5.D. Page 29 of 34  Agenda Item #5.5.D. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. Page 30 of 34  Agenda Item #5.5.D. I‐35W Overlay A. Purpose and Intent.
