Regular Agenda Item
III. Action Item: Design Review — 612/614 Ohio Avenue: Depot Square Historic District
Request to retain illegally constructed metal/wood carport in the rear yard, visible from Ohio
Avenue and alley:
• Materials: metal, wood, concrete/cinder blocks
• Roof: standing seam metal
PAGE 1 of 8
AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.a
Landmark Commission 2 November 22,2022
Request lattice panels on existing chain link fence/gate for additional privacy.
Ms. Gagne presented the case and stated the subject property, formerly known as B & B
Antiques was located in the heart of the Depot Square Historic District and a contributing
structure to the character of the district. The subject property, a 2-story red brick commercial
building was constructed in 1913, during the oil boom era. Inventory photos displayed to
the Commission show visibility of the carport from both Ohio Avenue and rear alley.
Staff received a report of a carport being constructed in the historic district without receiving
an approved design review from the Landmark Commission. On October 21st, 2022, a City
building inspector found a carport being constructed at the subject property without design
review approval and no permits for construction. The building inspector issued a stop work
order for an illegal commercial carport and photographed the work already performed.
Many violations were found for both zoning and building codes. The zoning violation was
related to the setback of the structure. The contractor constructed carport approx. 1ft. into
the presumed interior property line setback. Therefore, this violates city ordinance since
required setbacks shall remain free of any building or structure higher than 2ft unless non-
combustible materials, etc.
The building code violations found were for exterior walls in the 2015 International
Residential Code (IRC)stating, carport hybrid structures with combustible materials require
a 5ft. setback from property line. A foundation violation also found in IRC 2015 states, "All
exterior footings shall be placed at least 12 inches (305 mm) below the undisturbed ground
surface." Ms. Gagne advised because no building permits were obtained no assessment
was performed before pouring concrete. If the work had been inspected, staff could have
ascertained footing depth and rebar requirements. Another violation was for framing and (
roof slope. Ms. Gagne stated when the stop work order was issued on October 21st, the
contractor had not finished the framing. Staff returned to the location at a later date to
collect more information from the owner and discovered additional wood framing had been
installed to support the roof but not anchored or installed according to Building Code
standards. The final violation noted was for the carport roof, violating Section R905.1.2-
Slope. "The minimum roof slope for lapped, non-soldered seam metal roofs with applied
lap sealant shall be one-half unit vertical in 12-units horizontal (4% slope)." The ceiling
bows inward in center and therefore does not have adequate fall to support a ground snow
load requirement of 5 lbs.'/sf Figure R301.2.5 - 2015 IRC. Detailed photos displayed
showed views of roofing material, the support/cross beam construction and lack of proper
footings, both items in violation of building code.
Ms. Gagne noted besides all the violations, the carport does not follow the intent of Wichita
Falls Design Review Guidelines. Also visible from the alley were lattice panels attached to
the chain link fence and gates for added privacy the owner was petitioning to retain. Photos
showed a detailed view of the carport framing and rear masonry wall. Holes had been
drilled in preparation for connection/tie into historic brick wall. Owner stated there would be
no lag bolts or screws into historic brick material. Ms. Gagne advised the importance of
following Design Review Guidelines which recommend avoiding damage to historic brick
and penetration only through grout if necessary.

AGENDA ITEM NO.5.a
Landmark Commission 3 November 22, 2022
Ms. Gagne concluded the presentation advising the Commission the owner and contractor
were present to answer any additional questions. Mr. Hartmangruber asked the contractor
•� Mr. Fuentes how deep the rebar was in the footings. Mr. Fuentes stated they were 18" and
filled with concrete. Mr. Hartmangruber asked where he got the figures for the sizing spans
and if he followed any codes. Mr. Fuentes stated he followed no codes. Mr. Hartmangruber
gave his professional opinion that the carport looked to be a very dangerous structure and
didn t think it would withstand the elements, stating there was no cross bracing, no
momentum connections which presented a big safety concern.
Ms. Ponder-Smith pointed out a large crack down the center of one of the support posts
shown in the slide presentation. Mr. Fuentes stated he had not finished construction and
that he was going to drill bolts into it down to the existing slab. Mr. Martin pointed out the
structure looked dangerous and not professionally constructed. Chairperson Derr stated
this structure would not be approved to remain due to the safety element of construction
and not having obtained any permits. Mr. Fuentes stated back in the 1990's when he had
his construction business he didn't remember permits being required. A member of the
Commission stated permits have been required since probably before the 1960's.
Mr. Hartmangruber stated he appreciated that the owner was trying to fix up the structure,
however this could not be considered fixing, noting this was a safety hazard not only to the
owner but surrounding neighbors as well. Mr. Hartmangruber advised the structure needed
to be taken down immediately to the foundation and start from that point with permits and
the proper inspections being obtained along the way. Father Lim, the owner, apologized for
not having followed the required procedures. He stated his contractor advised him no
permits were needed for a carport.
Ms. Graham asked staff if this petition was denied and he returned at a later date with new
plans if the applicant would have to wait the minimum time frame to re-apply. Ms. Gagne
advised that this case was a unique scenario and that Father Lim would need to craft a new
proposal to present a design review request to the Commission. Ms. Gagne's interpretation
is that a new application would be sufficiently different enough from what was being
presented today that Father Lim would not be required to wait 6-months to re-apply.
Ms. Graham introduced a motion to separate the proposal into two items for voting
purposes. Ms. Ponder-Smith seconded with a passing vote of 7-0. Ms. Graham made a
motion to allow the placement of lattice panels on the existing chain link fence/gate in the
rear yard. Mr. Hartmangruber seconded the motion which passed with a 7-0 vote.
Chairperson Derr introduced a motion to deny the commercial carport based on it being in
violation of building code, zoning ordinance and design review guidelines. Ms. McKown
seconded the motion to deny. The Commission had a unanimous vote of 7-0 to deny
allowing the carport to remain.
IV. Action Item: Design Review — 2908 10th Street: West Floral Heights Historic District

AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.a
Landmark Commission 4 November 22, 2022
Ms. Gagne presented the case and stated the subject property was actually two separate
properties, 2908 & 2910 10th Street. Ms. Gagne stated the owner had worked with staff
after the stop work order for the previously constructed metal framed carport to consider .�
three potential options. Owner opted to move forward with replatting to combine the two
residential lots. The re-plat provided the opportunity for an accessory structure to be
considered by the Landmark Commission.
Ms. Gagne advised the subject property was a contributing structure located at the north
end of the West Floral Heights Historic District. The home was built in 1925 in a Craftsman
architecture style. Inventory photos from 2004 show a structure on the former adjacent lot
at 2910 10th Street. A photo from June 2018 show the structure gone leaving a vacant lot.
Ms. Gagne advised when the district was designated there was a two-story Prairie style
home at 2910 10th St; circa 1919. The structure became a life, health and safety concern
within the neighborhood with scaffolding on-site for approximately 8-10 years, significant
resident complaints and issues with conditions inside the building and on-site resulted in
numerous Code violations and City Council ordered the demolition.
In July 2021 the applicant started fence construction at 2910 10th St without permits being
obtained. City staff issued a stop work order and a design review case was considered by
Landmark Commission and later approved for a 6ft wood privacy fence/gate outside the
25ft. front setback area.
Ms. Gagne stated staff received a report of a carport being constructed without Landmark
approval and obtaining the proper permits. On September 21 st, 2022 City building inspector
met with the owner and issued a stop work order. The owner was advised of three options
regarding the framing already constructed:
1. Remove carport framing;
2. Re-plat 2908 & 2910 as one lot to allow the option for an accessory structure;
Landmark Com. approval still required;
3. Remove framing; request approval from Landmark Com. for rear accessory
structure at 2908 10th Street.
Ms. Gagne advised the Commission the owner had chosen to purse option #2 and further
advised, if approved, the carport must be subordinate in terms of height, massing and form
to the historic, primary residence while also using complementary materials to be mindful
of the historic and architectural character of the houses in this block. The owner also
requested a metal standing seam roof that would be visible from 10th Street in place of a
composition shingle roof. Current framing will not support a composition shingle roof and
adds cost to the project.
Staff worked with the owner on his plans to retain the carport to replicate the look of his
historic home. Rather than use wood for roof beams, he would like to use metal and paint
white to match the residence. The owner was attempting to ensure the materials used
would reflect those historically present in the district.
Ms. Gagne stated research showed secondary structures in the district were of a much
smaller scale and generally accessed through the alley to rear of the home. Historic setback
patterns for carports/garages would have been in the rear-side yards. This was an unusual
case because the front setback area throughout the district typically has residential •

AGENDA ITEM NO.5.a
Landmark Commission 5 November 22,2022
structures but since the former house was demolished there could potentially be a detached
carport in the front building area depending on how the Commission interpreted the Design
Guidelines. Ms. Gagne advised the Commission the applicant was not present, but she
would try to answer any questions.
The Commission discussed the case and Ms. Graham stated she had no issues with a
metal roof and that there are materials that are metal, made to replicate the look of typical
wooden shingles that could be purchased. Ms. Graham made a motion to separate the
proposal into two separate items and was seconded by Ms. McKown and passed
unanimously 7-0.
Ms. Graham made a motion to approve the carport as proposed in the application with
metal structural system covered with wood components - square columns, lap siding,
soffit/fascia boards, front-gable roof, window proportionate with carport scale,
gutters/downspouts on east/west facades, exposed roof beams (painted metal) and color
scheme on the 10th St (south facade) consistent with the historic residence at 2908 10th
Street. Ms. Ponder-Smith seconded and the motion passed unanimously 7-0.
Ms. Ponder-Smith made a motion to allow additional construction to support a roof that is
either metal shingles or composition shingle that match the color and appearance of the
historic residential roof at 2908 10th Street. Mr. Hartmangruber seconded the motion which
passed unanimously with a vote 7-0.
V. Action Item: Design Review — 1704 Tilden Street: West Floral Heights Historic District
Request for façade repair/replacement & stabilization due to deterioration & separation
from structure.
• Amend approved brick selection
Ms. Gagne presented the case and stated the owner/applicant was present and there had
been new information received for a change in the requested replacement brick to be
discussion during the presentation. Ms. Gagne stated the previous approval from the
Commission was in August of 2020, and was beyond the one-year design review renewal
timeline, thus the reason for the request to amend.
Ms. Gagne advised the subject property was located in the south part of the West Floral
Heights Historic District. The structure was constructed in 1920 with the second story being
added in 1960. Photos displayed deterioration of all four facades with the north brick veneer
separated from main structure and by 2020 had become a life, health & safety concern.
Current photos show project has been initiated with brick veneer partially removed from the
north and south facades along with the brick chimney. At this time the progress has stalled
due to multiple factors including Covid, contractor delays and the brick selection being
unavailable.
The previously approved replacement brick was Whitesboro #8799, which is no longer
available from the vendor. Therefore, the owner had requested to replace all brick with style
Libby Mills, however, the owner was concerned the brick selection was too modern with
the variation and darker bricks interspersed. The owner has requested the use of Harper
Creek option as there is a more uniform color with less variation and believes it will be a
better match with the existing second story painted siding.
PAGE 5 of 8
AGENDA ITEM NO.5.a
Landmark Commission 6 November 22, 2022
Mr. Martin asked the owner if all the brick would be replace to which the owner advised
yes, all the current brick façade would be replaced. Ms. Ponder-Smith made a motion to
accept the requested brick selection amendment of "Harper Creek" that will be used for
replacement brick veneer (north, south, east and west facades- 1st story) and the chimney
as part of the foundation/stabilization project with the brick veneer remaining unpainted. Mr.
Dickinson seconded and the motion passed unanimously 7-0.
VI. Action Item: Design Review Renewal/Modification — 1300 7th Street — Memorial
Auditorium Building: City Landmark#2
Request for renewal/modification related to the West Wing Foundation Stabilization Project
Ms. Gagne presented the case and stated the City's auditorium building was located at
1300 7th Street and a prominent building of Spanish Eclectic style designed by architects
Voelcker and Dixon in collaboration with Dallas architects. Lang and Winchell who
completed the State Fair Music Hall in 1925. Construction began in 1927 on Memorial
Auditorium and its design is a duplication of the Dallas Music Hall. The building was
dedicated in 1928 and underwent a major remodel in 1963/1964 with the interior gutted,
auditorium walls, ceiling, seating and stage areas updated along with city offices. Staff
referenced visuals of the building in postcards, circa 1930-1945 that illustrated the original
central block and wings as well as photos from the 1983 city landmark nomination
application, prior to historic designation.
Inventory photos from 2013 showed the structure essentially unchanged, but in need of
maintenance. Photos from the Times Record News archives in 2017 showed significant
damage on 1st 2nd & 3rd floors of the west wing as well as the outdoor stairs spreading and
shifting concrete. A comprehensive feasibility study and building needs assessment
conducted by BYSP Architects in 2017 stated structural problems related to support
columns spreading at the bottom from years of pressure and shifting ground and the
1963/64 2nd floor renovation/addition; concrete floor poured at that time is shifting; walls are
shifting away impacting doors, ceilings, windows, etc. In current photos, the continuing
exterior damage is visible, particularly stop-gap repairs by the exterior 2nd floor door which
is buckling under the weight of the structure.
Ms. Gagne advised as work progressed and the deteriorated brick and stucco were
removed more damage was revealed. While trying to stabilize the deteriorated foundation
additional issues such as cracking in the columns and a cut stem wall from when the
exterior door was made from an existing window during the 1963/1964 remodel. Mr. Steve
Wood from BYSP Architects stated engineers had to re-evaluate the newly discovered
damaged and how best to proceed. Mr. Wood stated they would be replacing and adding
a portion of a beam between 2 columns and will have to remove a portion of brick to do so.
Initially the proposal was to reuse as much of the removed brick as possible, however, there
is a concern there will not be enough salvageable brick to reuse. Therefore, they are
requesting to use stucco as a replacement to match the current areas of stucco on the west
wall.
Ms. Graham introduced a motion to allow minor material modification to an approved design
review project allowing use of new brick veneer on the west facade as there will be
insufficient salvaged brick to be repurposed after structural repairs; new brick sections will
PAGE 6 of 8
AGENDA ITEM NO.5.a
Landmark Commission 7 November 22, 2022
be covered with stucco material to complement the existing stucco sections already on the
west wall. Mr. Hartmangruber abstained from voting to ensure no conflict of interest even
though not working on this project, he was employed by the architectural firm of BYSP
Architects overseeing the stabilization project. Ms. Ponder-Smith seconded the motion
which passed with a unanimous vote of 6-0.
VII. Action Item: 2023 Landmark Commission Meeting Schedule & Application Deadlines
Ms. Gagne presented the proposed 2023 meeting schedule and application deadlines for
the Landmark Commission and advised once adopted the document would be available on
the City website. Ms. Graham made a motion to adopt the 2023 Landmark Commission
Meeting Schedule & Application Deadlines as presented. Ms. McKown seconded with the
motion passing unanimously 7-0.

ITEM/SUBJECT: Conduct a public hearing and take action on an ordinance to rezone
2901 City View Drive (Hicks Subdivision, Lot 1 , Block 1) from Light
Industrial (LI) to the Single Family 1 (SF-1) zoning district and amend
the Land Use Plan from Light Industrial to Low Density Residential to
allow for the development of an additional residential structure.
INITIATING DEPT: Development Services/ Planning
STRATEGIC GOAL: Accelerate Economic Growth
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Revitalize Depressed and Declining Neighborhoods
COMMENTARY:
• January 20, 2023 — Staff met with applicant/owner, Teresa Villarreal, to discuss
subdividing and building a single family residence on her property. Staff outlined
the site's zoning, allowed uses, and the process to rezone. The applicant/ owner,
soon thereafter, submitted an application.
• February 17, 2023 - Planning staff mailed notifications of the proposed rezone to
property owners within 200 feet of the subject property, in accordance with state
law and local ordinance. Rezone signage was posted at the property notifying of
the March 8, 2023, P&Z meeting.
• February 19, 2023 — Notice of March 8, 2023, P&Z public hearing published in the
Times Record News (TRN), in accordance with state law and local ordinance.
• March 8, 2023— P&Z conducts public hearing and recommends to the City Council
approval of the rezoning requested by unanimous vote.
• March 10, 2023 - Notice of April 4, 2023, City Council public hearing mailed to all
property owners within 200 feet of the subject property. Posted rezone signage
revised to list city council public hearing date.
• March 12, 2023 - Notice of April 4, 2023, City Council public hearing published in
TRN.
• April 4, 2023 — City Council scheduled to conduct public hearing and consider
ordinance rezoning the subject property.
Staff met with the applicant/owner, Teresa Villarreal, to discuss subdividing and
construction of a new residential structure (home) at 2901 City View Dr. in January 2023.
Staff informed the applicant/owner that the existing Light Industrial (LI)zoning designation
does not provide for new residential structures. Staff advised of the option of requesting
to rezone the property to a Single-Family 1 designation by extending the adjacent Single-
Family 1 (SF-1) district just to the north of the subject property. The applicant then
submitted a rezone application for the March 2023 Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting.
PAGE 1 OF 14 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.A
Evaluation
The area to be rezoned is primarily situated adjacent to residential uses or undeveloped
land. Staff believes the petition will allow the applicant's lot to better serve its purpose in
terms of keeping a residential character for the surrounding properties.
1. Changed Conditions: Being removed from the commercial development
along Northwest Freeway further south on City View Drive, the uses are
reduced to residential uses along this section of City View Drive.
2. Relationship to the Comprehensive Plan: With the proposal, the land use is
in conflict with the current designation of Light Industrial. Staff are
recommending an amendment to the designation from Light Industrial to Low
Density Residential to promote the long term designation of low density
residential development.
3. The nature and degree of impact upon neighboring lands: When looking
at the proposed transition, the use would be of very low intensity and impact to
surrounding properties. The current designations of Light Industrial zoning
leave the door open for developments with higher impacts to intrude into
established residential neighborhoods. The greater risk of harmful
development would come from failing to act and amend an improper
designation.
If council approves the rezone to Single-Family 1 (SF-1), the applicant is subject to all
other zoning and building code regulations for the residential project. Rezoning the tracts
to Single Family 1 (SF-1) would be in harmony with the area and the Land Use Plan.
Recommendation
In accordance with State law and local ordinances, the Planning and Zoning Commission
(P&Z) conducted a public hearing at their meeting on March 8, 2023, and, after
consideration, unanimously recommended approval by City Council.
Staff also recommends the approval of the ordinance.

Case 23-02 — 2901 City View Drive
Public hearing to consider taking action on a proposed rezone of +/- 1.65
acres of land located at 2901 City View Drive (Hicks Subdivision, Lot 1, Block
1) from Light Industrial (LI) to Single Family-1 (SF-1) zoning district and
amend the Land Use Plan from Light Industrial to Low Density Residential to
allow for development of an additional residential structure.
a) Public Hearing
b) Take Action
Chairman Cook opened the public hearing at 2:15 pm concerning case R 23-02. Mr.
Hu presented the case, and stated the owner applicant of 2901 City View Drive would
like to construct an additional residence on her property. City ordinances do not allow
any new residential structures to be built inside Light Industrial (LI) zoning districts.
The approval of the proposed rezone to the adjacent district of Single Family-1 would
allow for and additional residential structure.
PAGE 9 OF 14 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.A
Exhibit F Continued
Mr. Hu advised the subject property was located in the northwest area of Wichita
Falls, north of Airport Drive and City View Drive intersection. The surrounding zoning
district to the north is Single Family-1 (SF-1), to the south is Light Industrial (LI), to
the east is Single Family-1 (SF-1) and Light Industrial (LI) and to the west is Mobile
Home Residential (MHR) and Light Industrial (LI) zoning districts. Mr. Hu stated the
uses surrounding the subject property to the north, south and east were single family
residential uses with the west having a mixture of single family residential and mobile
home parks.
Mr. Hu stated when the City adopted the zoning ordinance in 1985 the large tracts
along City View Drive where given General Commercial (GC) and Light Industrial (LI)
zoning designations. Further north is where Single Family-1 (SF-1) begins with large
lot sizes.
The current zoning for the subject property if Light Industrial (LI) which does not allow
for any new residential development, however, rezoning the property to Single
Family-1 (SF-1) that is adjacent to the north of the subject property will allow for the
new residential development. When evaluating a proposed rezoning request, it's
standard procedure for planners to consider the relationship to the municipal
comprehensive plan (land use element); the surrounding zoning districts and land
use; infrastructure impacts; the intensity of use, along with the degree of impact on
adjacent uses and size of land parcel. The area to be rezoned is primarily situated
adjacent to residential uses or undeveloped land. Staff believe the petition will allow
the applicant's lot to better serve its purpose in terms of keeping a residential
character for the surrounding properties.
Staff notified 8 property owners within 200ft. of the subject property and received 3
responses in favor and 1 opposed. The opposing neighbor was contacted by staff
and they stated their objection was they did not want any manufactured homes on
the property. Once the objector knew the purpose for the proposed rezone they
retracted their objection.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning request of +/- 1 .65 acres of
land at 2901 City View Drive (Hicks Subdivision, Lot 1 , Block 1) to Single Family-1
(SF-1) Residential.
Chairman Cook asked if there was anyone from the public that would like to comment.
The owner, Ms. Villarreal, was present for the meeting and advised she had nothing
to add to the presentation. With no other comments, Mr. Cook closed the public
hearing at 2:22 pm and asked for a motion to open the item for discussion. Mr.
Woodward made the motion with Mr. Matt Marrs seconding. With no further

ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution approving an agreement under the Meet and Confer
process to allow for creation and maintenance of multiple eligibility
lists for beginning positions in the Police Department.
INITIATING DEPT: Police
STRATEGIC GOAL: Efficiently Deliver City Services
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Practice Effective Governance
COMMENTARY: On March 24, 2023, Police Administration, The Wichita Falls Police
Officers' Association Executive Board, and City Administration under the Meet and
Confer Process crafted an agreement to allow for the creation and maintenance of
multiple eligibility lists to run concurrently, one list for entry level applicants and one list
for qualified lateral Police Officers for beginning positions in the Police Department.
This is an attempt to recruit more people into the entry-level positions and ensure that
there are enough applicants in the process to attend the appropriate Police Academy,
thus reducing the number of vacancies at the Police Department.
Under this agreement, the Civil Service Director will be authorized to have multiple
eligibility lists to run concurrently without having to wait until the current eligibility list has
expired or been exhausted. This will allow the Police Department to get more
applicants into the hiring process so that a sufficient number are available to attend the
Basic Police Officer/Lateral Academy.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
