Planning & Zoning Commission 15 February 2007 54
a. Building Walls and Roofs
1) An expression line shall delineate divisions between floors
of all buildings, and a cornice shall delineate the tops of
facades that do not utilize a pitched roof.
2) All buildings shall be designed such that no mechanical
equipment (HVAC, etc.) and satellite dishes are visible
from the public right-of-way or open space, whether the
equipment is located on the ground, exterior walls or the
roof. To screen rooftop mechanical equipment, other
appurtenances, and flat or built-up roofs, all structures
having a 6,000 square feet or less footprint shall be
constructed with a pitched roof. Those structures having a
footprint greater than 6,000 square feet shall be
constructed with either a pitched or parapet roof system
enclosed on all sides.
3) Mansard roofs and flat membrane-type roofs that are
visible from ground level are prohibited.
4) For retail storefronts, a transom, display window area and
bulkhead at the base shall be utilized.
5) Ground floor retail building plate heights should provide for
at least fourteen feet (14’) in height.
6) Generally, windows shall be oriented vertically.
Planning & Zoning Commission 15 February 2007 55
7) Columns and piers generally shall be spaced no farther
apart than they are tall.
8) Transparency:
i. Each floor of any building façade facing a park,
plaza or street shall contain transparent windows
covering from fifteen percent (15%) to seventy-five
percent (75%) of the façade area.
ii. In order to provide clear views of merchandise and
to provide natural surveillance of exterior street
spaces, the ground-floor along the retail storefront
facade shall have transparent storefront windows
covering no less than fifty percent (50%) of the
façade area.
iii. Entryways recessed at least four feet (4’).
b. Permitted Finishes:
1) At least eighty percent (80%) of the exterior of all new
buildings (excluding doors and windows) shall be finished
in one or more of the following materials:
i. Brick, stone, cast stone, or stucco.
ii. Split face concrete block, poured-in-place concrete,
and tilt-wall concrete. It is the intent that any use of
concrete products shall have an integrated color
and be textured or patterned. Tilt-wall concrete
structures shall include reveals, punch-outs, or
other similar surface characteristics to enhance the
façade on at least twenty percent (20%) of each
façade.
iii. Side facades and rear facades shall be of finished
quality and of the same color and materials that
blend with the front of the building. Rear facades
may be painted tilt-wall or painted block matching
the same color of the rest of the building if the rear
façade faces an alley or is not viewable from a
public street or right-of-way.
Planning & Zoning Commission 15 February 2007 56
2) To improve the pedestrian orientation, the ground floor of
commercial/retail buildings shall utilize a combination of
the following, unless otherwise approved by the Town:
i. Corbelling, molding, string coursing, ornamentation,
changes in material and color, or other sculpturing
of the base;
ii. Recessed windows or other techniques to
distinguish the windows in the façade such as
arches, pediments and mullions; and
iii. Entryways recessed at least four feet (4’).
3) The utilization of repetitive storefronts for “architectural”
consistency is discouraged in order to maintain an
interesting street experience; although the utilization of
common architectural elements shall be considered to
facilitate a certain level of functional continuity.
c. Building Orientation and Pedestrian Site Design:
1) Any building (excluding parking garages and other
accessory buildings) viewed from a public right-of-way or
public open space shall either face such right-of-way or
open space, or shall have a façade facing such area in
keeping with the character of the front façade, including
the utilization of similar fenestration and materials.
2) Pedestrian Elements
To improve the walkability and access of commercial and
retail areas, the following are encouraged in the site design
of a project:
i. Patio/café seating areas
ii. Bicycle racks
iii. Continuous walkways linking stores
vi. Shade provided by building orientation, canopies
and/or trees
vii. Decorative Trash receptacles
Planning & Zoning Commission 15 February 2007 57
3) Parking Lot and Building Frontage Landscaping and
Design
i. A minimum of fifteen (15) square feet of
landscaping including tree islands for each parking
space shall be provided within the paved
boundaries of the parking lot, with the landscaped
areas protected by raised curbs except where
wheel stops are utilized at the front of parking
spaces along a landscaped median between
parking bays, and pavement no closer than three
feet (3’) from the trunk of trees.
ii. Landscaped islands of a minimum of five feet (5’) in
width and extending the entire length of the parking
stall generally shall be located at the terminus of all
parking rows and shall contain at least one three
inch (3”) caliper tree consistent with the Tree List in
Section VI – Development and Design Standards.
iii. Parking spaces shall be a minimum depth of 18
feet and a minimum width of 9 feet; to encourage
better shade patterns, parking bays shall be
separated by a minimum five foot (5’) wide
landscaped median (See illustration below), with
three inch (3”) caliper shade trees planted every
thirty feet and wheel stops placed so as to allow the
front of vehicles to encroach over the landscaped
median without hitting the trees.
Planning & Zoning Commission 15 February 2007 58
iv. Foundation plantings are required for buildings or
groups of buildings greater than 40,000 square feet
and where the front building facade does not abut a
public sidewalk, including a 3.0 inch caliper shade
tree for every 10,000 square feet of gross building
area consistent with the Tree List as set forth in
Section VI. Small ornamental trees are permitted
on a ratio of 4 to 1 instead of 3.0 inch caliper shade
trees. This is intended to enhance the pedestrian
experience in front of larger buildings and to break
up large impervious surfaces between parking
areas and the building. Foundation planting trees
shall be planted within approximately 30 feet of the
front façade and are required in addition to any
street trees required herein. Tree grates shall be
utilized for trees planted less than four (4) feet back
of curb. Tree spacing shall not impede sign
visibility or pedestrian safety but shall be placed so
as to provide an effective shade environment in
front of the building.
d. Loading Areas and Trash Receptacles:
1) Loading and service areas shall be located at the side of or
in the rear of buildings. Every effort should be made to
reduce the need for segregated loading and service areas
by ensuring that deliveries are made off-hours. Such uses
as grocery stores, however, may require a loading dock
area. Where tractor/semi-trailer delivery may conflict with
Planning & Zoning Commission 15 February 2007 59
land uses on or adjacent to the site, then the following
standards shall be followed:
i. Loading and service areas shall be located at the
side or rear of buildings.
ii. Off-street loading areas shall be screened from
view of any street public open space or adjacent
property.
iii. Loading areas shall be enclosed on three sides by
a wall or other screening device not less than 10
feet in height.
iv. Loading areas shall not be located closer than 50’
to any residential lot, unless wholly within an
enclosed building.
v. Screening materials shall be comprised of a wall
that has a similar finish to the primary structure, or
a combination of trees and shrubs that will result in
solid screening within 2 years.
vi. However, when adjacent to a residentially zoned
district a screening wall with landscaping shall be
used.
2. Trash/Recycling Receptacles:
i. Commercial trash/recycling containers shall be
located on the side or rear of the building and
screened from public view.
ii. Such containers shall be located at least 50’ away
from adjacent residential property lines.
Planning & Zoning Commission 15 February 2007 60
iii. Such containers shall be screened on 4 sides,
using an enclosure that is 7’ tall or of a height that
is a minimum of 1’ above the top of the container,
whichever is taller. Screening shall be comprised of
brick, stone, reinforced concrete, or other similar
masonry materials that have a similar finish to the
primary finish; and all fence posts shall be rust-
protected metal, concrete based masonry or
concrete pillars.
iv. 6” concrete filled steel pipes shall be located to
protect the enclosure from truck operations.
v. Such container enclosures shall have steel gates
and tie-backs to secure them in an open position,
and fasteners to keep them closed.
vi. Screening shall be maintained at all times.
e. Signage
1) General: Signs shall be flat against the façade, projecting
from the façade or ground monument mounted. No signs
shall project above the façade unless approved as part of
a site plan as a “landmark sign” such as a theater marquee
or other special sign located in an prominent location and
intended to provide a special character to the district and
orientation to visitors.
2) Lighting: Signs shall generally be externally lit. Only
individual letters and symbols may be internally lit. Neon
signs shall be prohibited.
3) Finish Materials: Materials shall complement the
architecture of the building, and may include wood—
painted or natural; metal—copper, brass, galvanized steel;
painted canvas; paint; engraving directly on façade
surface; and brick or stone for monument signs.
4) Wall Signs:
i. One and a half (1.5) square feet of signage is
permitted for each linear foot of the primary facade
of the building, excluding wing walls. (E.g. a 100’
long building façade would allow for 150 square
feet of wall sign area on the building.)
Planning & Zoning Commission 15 February 2007 61
ii. Only one building façade with a primary entrance
may be used to calculate wall signage.
iii. Wall signs may be placed on any face of the
building except if adjacent to a residential lot.
iv. Maximum area of any single sign mounted
perpendicular to a given façade shall not exceed 10
square feet unless it protrudes above the top of the
facade.
v. Protruding or hanging signs shall maintain a
minimum clear height of eight (8) feet above the
sidewalk.
5) Monument Signs:
i. Monument signs up to eight (8) feet in height are
the only permanent freestanding signs allowed.
ii. Maximum area of a monument sign shall be 96
square feet per sign face. Monument signs may
have only two (2) sign faces.
iii. If a Commercial Neighborhood extends over 1000
linear feet, then one monument sign per 500’ of
frontage is permitted. (E.g. a site with 1,000’ or
more of frontage may have two (2) monument
signs, a site with 1,500’ or more may have three (3)
signs, etc.).
iv. The structure of monument signs shall be
constructed of materials and colors utilized on the
primary building’s façade.
v. Monument signs must be spaced a minimum of two
hundred fifty feet (250’) apart, unless approved
otherwise at Detailed Site Plan.
6) Parking: Retail and office uses shall meet the Town’s
parking standards at the time of development.

Jim Weigert addressed the Commission and presented the Preliminary Plat for the 5
Neighborhoods. The plat contains 911 lots and all four of the single family residential lot
types for PD-27. The total number of lots is less than what is allotted by zoning. The
applicant has meet with staff to go over comments during the review process. There
are a few staff comments that were generated from the second review that the
applicant was not able to address prior to the meeting. Carter & Burgess agrees with
the comments and asks for approval of the plat.
Ms. Fleck addressed the Commission and discussed staff comments.
Commissioner Moss asked why there are so many outstanding comments. Mr. Rutledge
stated the comments were minor and should not delay action on the plat. Ms. Fleck
added that the turnaround period for the plat was so tight, it did not allow the
applicant adequate time to receive staff comments, make the revisions, and resubmit
to staff for review prior to the meeting.
Vice Chairman Stephens stated that he was pleased with the submission and the
applicant’s adherence to the Town’s requirements.
Commissioner Sheridan disclosed that his employer and their affiliates has worked with

Ms. Gregory Addressed the Commission and briefly described the proposed revisions.
With the submission of the Preliminary Plat for Neighborhoods 3&4 of The Highlands at
Trophy Club, Hillwood has requested early grading permits. Currently the Town does

grading done prior to the approval of the Final Plat and the execution of the
Developer’s Agreement would be done at the developer’s risk. A grading plan must
be submitted, evaluated and released by the Town engineer. Under no circumstances
would the applicant be able to conduct any activities within the floodplain.
Commissioner Ashby stated he was not comfortable with the proposed changes. The
Commission discussed the changes further.
Mr. Hunstable addressed the Commission.
A motion was made to recommend approval to the Town Council with the following
changes, 1) all site drainage be reviewed prior to the release for commencement of
dirt work, 2) Town staff to research land designations for DCAD, and 3) all appropriate
fees must be paid in advance.

PUBLIC HEARING
B.1 PUBLIC HEARING: A REQUEST FOR ZONE CHANGE FOR AN APPROXIMATE 54.86
ACRE TRACT OF LAND CURRENTLY ZONED MH - MANUFACTURED HOUSING AND
AN APPROXIMATE 37.8 ACRE TRACT OF LAND CURRENTLY ZONED R-12 SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, TO PD-28, NORTHWEST HIGH SCHOOL NO. 2, GENERALLY
DESCRIBED AS T. CALAWAY SURVEY, ABSTRACT NO. 272; T. KELLY SURVEY,
ABSTRACT NO. 704, AND J. HENRY SURVEY, ABSTRACT NO. 529. APPLICANT: MJ
THOMAS ENGINEERING, LLC., AUTHORIZED AGENT OF NORTHWEST ISD (ZCA-07-
012)
Mr. Thomas addressed the Commission and gave a brief summary of the proposed
zone Change. The district is seeking to rezone the property to a PD. The zoning follows
the NS zoning regulations the Town currently uses, with some slight modifications to
Planning & Zoning Commission 15 February 2007 102
things such as height, fencing materials, parking requirements, etc. The building height
is proposed to be a maximum of 85’. The general use of the site is a High School, with
sports fields. There will be a football field, a competition baseball field and a
competition softball field. Lights will be on in the evening for practice and game play.
The planter islands have been reduced from twelve feet (12’) to twenty-four feet (24’).
The district is trying to maximize the space to provide as much parking as possible.
Black coated vinyl chain link fencing is proposed around the ball fields.
B.2 PUBLIC HEARING: AN AMENDMENT TO THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE TOWN
OF TROPHY CLUB, CHAPTER 13, ENTITLED "ZONING", ARTICLE VIII, ENTITLED
"DEVELOPMENT & DESIGN STANDARDS", SECTION D, ENTITLED "MATERIALS", AND
SECTION L, ENTITLED "MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF NON-LIVING MATERIAL", TO
PROVIDE REGULATIONS REGARDING FENCING MATERIALS AND MAINTENANCE.
(ADM-07-027)
Ms. Gregory addressed the Commission. The changes to the Ordinance are two-fold.
The first is the addition of language to prevent property owners from affixing sharp
objects to fences that would injure emergency response personnel. This addition was
requested by the police department because we have knowledge of at least one
individual that has driven nails into the top of his wooden fence and cut off the heads
of the nails in an effort to injure anyone trying to come over the fence. This is a serious
concern to our public safety professionals. In the event that a property owner has a
valid need for security fencing, the ordinance contains Special Exception language
that allows the Zoning Board of Adjustment “power to grant a Special Exception
waiving or modifying these regulations where the literal enforcement of this Ordinance
would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship and the relief granted would
not be contrary to the public interest but would do substantial justice and would be in
accordance with the spirit of this Ordinance.”
The second change is the addition of language that was included in the previous
ordinance, but inadvertently removed during the last revision. Without this language,
staff has no way of enforcing maintenance issues with fences. In fact, we currently
have complaints on six fences that we can not address without these changes. The
language included is exactly what was in the previous ordinances.
Related to these changes, the Commission expressed concern at the last meeting
regarding the amount of power that the Code Enforcement Officer has. As a point of
clarification, the Code Enforcement officer only has the ability to issue a citation. The
municipal judge makes a determination as to the validity of the complaint. The judge
has the ability to uphold, reduce the citation fee or dismiss the citation completely as
he sees fit. This provides the checks and balances required to prevent an officer from
issuing unwarranted citations. In practice very few citations are issued. They are simply
a tool used to achieve compliance and in most instances the issue is resolved without
the need for a citation.
Additionally, there was concern expressed regarding the 10 day time frame for
enforcement. This time frame is not uncommon among other cities because a seriously
damaged fence needs to be addressed quickly to prevent injury or potential property
Planning & Zoning Commission 15 February 2007 103
damage. For example, if a property owner refuses to comply and a citation is issued, it
could be a month or two before it ever reaches the courts and we are able to gain
compliance. The Town routinely allows longer periods of time if there are extenuating
circumstances or if the repairs could not be completed within the allotted time period,
provided that the property owner is at least making an effort. With the system as it is
now, a code enforcement officer would not be inclined to write a ticket where work
was underway or at least being attempted because the judge would dismiss the
charges.
Chairman Hill closed the Public Hearing and opened the Regular Session.

NO. 529. APPLICANT: MJ THOMAS ENGINEERING, LLC., AUTHORIZED AGENT OF
NORTHWEST ISD (ZCA-07-012)
Mr. Thomas addressed the Commission. With the site at approximately 92.7 acres, the
district is trying to maximize usage of the land. The parking lot is configured to provide
the district with the amount of parking it will need for a High School of this size.
Vice Chairman Stephens inquired about the number of spaces. Mr. Thomas stated
there will be 800 parking spaces at a 1/3 ratio for a 2,400 student school. Vice
Chairman Stephens asked how many spaces would be lost if they conformed to the
Town’s planter island requirement. Mr. Thomas stated they would lose approximately
30-40 spaces. Commissioner Reed stated he would like to see the shrubs to be installed
at a minimum height of three feet (3’) instead of the proposed two feet (2’).
Commissioner Sheridan noted the site was being rezoned from MH zoning and asked if
the Town needed to rezone land to allow for this type of zoning district. Ms. Fleck said
no, the Town would not need to rezone any land to provide MH zoning.
A motion was made to recommend approval of the request for Zone Change.

Second: Ashby
Ayes: Hill, Stephens, Ashby, Moss, Reed
