units are used for the pick up and removal of bulk refuse that is not within dumpsters.
The City has purchased vehicles through a cooperative purchasing program for the past
several years. We have found this process to be cost-effective not only in the initial
purchase but also for maintenance during the life of the product.

Chairman Woodward opened the public hearing at 2:29 p.m. and asked staff to
present the case. Mr. Medellin presented the case and stated staff meet with Mr.
Will Goodner, Executive Director for Habitat for Humanity, to discuss the rezoning
of the subject property with a designation fitting of the current and future
development.
Mr. Medellin stated the subject property was currently zoned as Light Industrial (LI)
which prohibits new residential uses. After meeting with Mr. Goodner staff outlined
requirements to potentially rezone the property. The subject property is located a
couple of blocks east of Scott Avenue and Kell Boulevard intersection.
Aerial maps displayed shows the subject property is vacant and research by staff
shows the property vacant since zoning was adopted in 1985. However, at one

residential uses in a Single Family-2 (SF-2) zoning district, to the south is vacant
land and warehouses in a Light Industrial (LI) zoning district, to the east is more
vacant land in a Light Industrial (LI) zoning district, and to the west apartments in a
Light Industrial (LI) zoning district.
Mr. Medellin stated after 40 years of being vacant staff feels a extending the
northern boundary of Single Family-2 (SF-2) zoning district and rezoning this
property will allow the applicant's lot to better serve its purpose in terms of keeping
a residential character for the surrounding properties.
Mr. Medellin advised the Commission staff had notified 19 property owners within
200 feet of the subject property. Staff received no responses.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning request of +/- 0.18 acres of

Public hearing to take action to recommend to rezone +/- 1.22 acres of land
located at 1101, 1103, 1105, 1107, 1109, 1111, & 1113 Alma St. (Lots 8-14,
Block 4, Southland) from Limited Office (LO) to General Commercial (GC)
zoning district and amend the Land Use Plan from Low Density Residential

office.
Applicant: United Regional Healthcare System
Chairman Woodward opened the public hearing at 2:41 p.m. and asked staff to
present the case. Mr. Medellin presented the case and stated staff meet with the
staff of United Regional Healthcare System, regarding the proposed development
of 1101-1113 Alma Street into a two-story, 53,000 square-foot imaging center.
During the meeting, staff informed the applicant and property owner of the site's
current Limited Office (LO) zoning designation and the permitted uses allowed
under that classification. Staff determined that the proposed project would be
restricted by the development standards of the existing zoning and would not
qualify as a permitted use by right.
To address this, staff recommended rezoning the property to General Commercial
(GC) by extending the adjacent district located just west of the site. This change
would eliminate the existing split-zoning on the lot and provide development
standards more consistent with the applicant's proposal. Following this
recommendation, the applicant submitted a rezoning application for consideration at
the next Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
Mr. Medellin stated the subject property is located in the central portion of the City
near Brook Avenue and is currently vacant land. The property is owned by United
Regional Healthcare System. Surrounding land uses include a residential
subdivision to the south; the Rathgeber Hospitality House, parking lots, and a
residence within the General Commercial (GC) zoning district to the east; medical
offices, vacant land, and a residential lot to the west; and to the north, a vacant lot
and the United Regional Healthcare System complex.
Mr. Medellin advised the Commission staff had notified 29 property owners within
200 feet of the subject property. Staff received no responses.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning of +/- 1.22 acres of land
located at 1101, 1103, 1105, 1107, 1109, 1111, & 1113 Alma St. from Limited
Office (LO) to General Commercial (GC) zoning district.

presentation. Mr. Bob Pert, CFO of United Regional Healthcare System was
present and a brief presentation to the Commission. Chairman Woodward asked for
any public comments. With no comments from the public, Chairman Woodward

8. Case TA 25-01 —Zoning Amendments:
Public hearing to take action to recommend an ordinance amending the
Code of Ordinances, Appendix B: Zoning, creation of a special overlay
district for the Heart of the Falls Neighborhood Revitalization Area and
development regulations with zoning boundary and land use plan
changes.
Creation of a special overlay district for the Heart of the Falls
Neighborhood Revitalization Area and development regulations with
zoning boundary and land use plan changes.
Chairman Woodward opened the public hearing at 2:42 p.m. and asked staff to
present the case. Mrs. Christal Cates presented the case and stated at the direction
of City Council and in alignment with the adopted Strategic Plan, staff has worked
with the Heart of the Falls Neighborhood Revitalization Committee since its
formation in May 2024 to explore initiatives that support growth and reinvestment in
the area. Early discussions focused on zoning and development standards, leading
staff to draft proposed amendments that ease requirements for non-residential uses
and Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), adjust setbacks to match existing patterns,
allow alternative paving materials, and rezone key corridors for commercial use.
The proposals were reviewed in joint meetings with the Committee and Planning &
Zoning subcommittees, followed by public engagement through events at Bridwell
Park and citywide mailings. Feedback from residents was overwhelmingly positive,
with only one undecided response. On April 29, 2025, the Revitalization Committee
unanimously recommended the zoning amendments for adoption, moving the
initiative forward for Planning & Zoning and City Council consideration.
Mrs. Cates stated the zoning amendment proposed the creation of a special overlay
district for the Heart of the Falls Neighborhood Revitalization Area. It specifies
development regulations with zoning boundary and land use plan changes. Mrs.
Cates advised the purposed overlay district will allow for an extra layer of
regulations that will encourage re-development and revitalization on top of the base
zoning. In short, the base zoning says what you can do and the overlay adds
special opportunities for a specific area.
Mrs. Cates gave a brief breakdown of the proposed amendments to the ordinance
as the following:
• Eliminate parking requirements for all non-residential uses
• Eliminate the 10,000sf. Minimum lot size requirements for Accessory
Dwelling Units (ADU's)
• Require 1 parking stall for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU's)
• Allow for alternative paving material, e.g., gravel, for accessory dwelling
unit parking requirements
• Amend setback requirements to both residential and nonresidential uses
fitting with the current built environment to allow for the expansion of
developable area
• Extend the General Commercial (GC) zoning district that is currently
Limited Commercial (LC) zoning district on 9th and 10th Street, from Polk
Street to Kemp Boulevard
PAGE 9 of 10
AGENDA ITEM NO.6.a
Planning and Zoning 10 August 13, 2025
• Extend Limited Commercial (LC) zoning to cover the gaps currently zoned
Single Family-2 (SF-2) Residential on the west side of Harrison Street
from Avenue C to Avenue F
• Extend Limited Commercial (LC) zoning to cover the gaps currently zoned
Single Family-2 (SF-2) Residential on both sides of Monroe Street from
Avenue E to Avenue H
• Rezone the Commercial Corridor (CC) zoning district to General
Commercial (GC) zoning district
• Extend the Limited Commercial (LC) zoning district along the east side of
Kemp Boulevard from 8th Street to Seymour Highway
Mrs. Cates stated staff mailed out 2,019 notices to property owners within the 200-
sf radius. There were also many meetings held from, a couple of events at Bridwell
Park, public Neighborhood Revitalization meetings every two weeks, publicized
public meeting at Planning and Zoning as well as an after-business hours meeting
at the Public Library.
Staff received 30 responses in total. All responses were in favor except for one that
was undecided/opposed. Mr. Small, a resident from the neighborhood had
comments of concern on flooding and deteriorated homes. Staff reached out to Mr.
Small via the designated email as well as a message left at the contact number
provided with no response. All other interaction from the public has been positive.
Staff supports the purposed zoning amendments as a key element in the
revitalization of the Heart of the Falls.
Chairman Woodward asked if there were any public comments. With no comments
from the public, Chairman Woodward closed the public hearing at 2:47 p.m.
Chairman Woodward asked if there was a motion to approve the rezone. Mr. Haney
made a motion to approve the case as presented and Mr. Wood seconded the
motion. Mr. Woodward called for a vote and the motion passed unanimously 8-0 in
favor.

Planning and Zoning 2 September 10, 2025
Applicant - Krystal Elmore
Chairman Woodward asked if there was a motion to approve the case.
Commissioner Brady Enlow made the motion with Noros Martin seconding the
motion.
Mr. Fabian Medellin presented the case that Mr. & Mrs. Elmore (Warrior's Way)
brought to staff to discuss the relocation of their business, and the use of the
Indiana Avenue properties as a martial arts studio. Currently the property is in the
Downtown Light industrial district. Mr. Medellin advised the Elmore's that currently
there is a non-conforming use as it is used today, as Stone Palace event center, but
the ordinances allow the Commission some authority to convert those non-
conforming uses to other uses in certain suitable situations. There is little that
needs to be done for the changes, only needing the conditional use approval, some
building permits and land use approval.
It was noted that Stone Palace came before the Commission a few years back, and
a conditional use was approved, but no action was taken on it. Today's request it to
allow for the conversion of 1211 Indiana and also to allow for the expansion into
1205 Indiana.
Mr. Medellin provided slides showing the property with a location map, aerial
pictures, and noted that the sale of the property included 1201 and 1203 Indiana
Avenue, but those are not included in this case. (As of now, those buildings will be
used as storage.) The adjacent parking lot will be used to take care of the parking
for the martial arts studio. The Commission was shown the applicant's site plan for
the project, slides of the zoning and land use map for the sites, and slides of
additional photos of the properties and surrounding businesses.
Staff sent out notification letters to fifteen properties that were in the required 200 ft.
notification area. There we no replies returned to the Planning and Zoning office.
Mr. Medellin provided Sec. 6140 — Nonconforming Use — Conversion to the
Commission:
The conversion of a nonconforming use to another nonconforming use, regardless
of nature of the use, shall be subject to the conditional use approval process
provided in section 7200. The Commission may authorize the conditional use
permit subject to the following:
• A nonconforming use may be converted to another nonconforming
use provided the noise, odor, refuse, traffic volumes and patterns,
hours of operation, parking requirements and other factors are
similar or less intense.
• Under no circumstance may a nonconforming use convert to a less
restrictive use category.
• When a nonconforming use has been changed to a conforming
use, such use shall not thereafter be changed to a nonconforming
use.
• If adjacent to a residential use or district, a use which previously
was issued a permit by the city or state to sell alcohol in any form or
by any method other than for off-premises consumption, shall not
be allowed to continue to dispense or sell such alcohol in any form
or by any method except if allowed in that district and subject to the
conditions set forth in this ordinance.

AGENDA ITEM NO.6.c
Planning and Zoning 3 September 10, 2025
• The conversion of a nonconforming use shall be subject to
requirements of this ordinance and other applicable codes and
ordinances of the city.
• Awnings, canopies and other structures ancillary to the preceding
uses, not associated with the proposed use, and which are
nonconforming, shall be demolished or otherwise removed.
(Ordinance 95-96,sec. 3, adopted 7/2/96; Ordinance 64-97, sec. 3, adopted 7/1/97)
The impacts to the area for the use as a martial arts studio will be used on weekday
evenings, being after school care to around 10:00pm. The biggest change in
impact, compared to the event center, is that business will operate on the weekdays
as opposed to weekends, and late nights, when the event center was open. The
flow of traffic for Warrior's Way will be less impactful than the event center.
Mr. Medellin stated that staff does recommend the approval of the conditional use
for the conversion and expansion of the non-conforming use of a martial arts studio
in the Light Industrial Downtown District. With the two following conditions:
1) The subject properties, 1205 & 1211 Indiana Avenue, must be platted together
and any future expansions would be subject to a new conditional use permit.
2) The development of the site shall comply with all applicable building, health,
zoning, and fire codes leading to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
The applicant, Mrs. Krystal Elmore, made a few statements to the Commission,
saying her and her husband are looking forward to the changes for Warrior's Way.
They will be celebrating 26 years of serving the community of Wichita Falls in a few
months, and have had over 10,000 students come through their doors. Mr. and Mrs.
Elmore appreciate the Commission's consideration of their case.
Chairman Woodward asked if anyone else in the public would like to make a
comment, and there were no additional comments made.
Chairman Woodward then moved on to discussion among the Commissioners.
There were no additional questions and/or comments made.
Chairman Woodward moved the motion to a vote, and the vote passed
unanimously 9-0.

III. UPDATE ON FINANCIAL STATUS.
PAGE 2 of 4
AGENDA ITEM NO.6.d
Tax Increment Financing*3 Board Meeting PAGE 2 September 3,2025
Mr. Terry Floyd updated the Commission, stating that currently $1.57 million of TIF #3
funds are available for projects/programs. With about another million, over the lifetime of
the TIF with its investments, is what's being projected. To date, there have been no
expenditures from the TIF #3 funds. In the event that the TIF is extended another five
years, an additional$1 million is anticipated to be generated by the end of 2035. Mr. Floyd
stated that the TIF is performing well, and is performing above projections.
Mr. Mark Beauchamp asked how the interest rates are projected. Mr. Stephen Calvert
stated that the funds are invested in a local government investment pool that is very
conservative. It is estimated that interest rates will be lower than what they are today. He
added that the funds could be invested in Treasury Notes, which would give us more
certainty about interest over the long term, but in the current environment the investment
pool is probably our best option for this level of funds.
IV. DISCUSSION REGARDING PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT PLAN
PRIORITIES AND FUNDING CONSIDERATIONS.
Mr. Floyd stated that the 2009 TIF#3 Adopted Project Plan identified a number of public
infrastructure projects that could be conducted in the TIF #3 zone. He reiterated that the
TIF #3 funds must be used for projects within the boundaries of the district. Anything
outside of the district will have to pursue different funding sources.
The item we get most questions for is flood plain mitigation. The cost to do anything for
most of that would largely outpace what the TIF is capable of funding. About 11% of
properties in the TIF#3 zone are in the flood plain, none of it is in the floodway. Those
properties in the flood plain have some opportunities to be developed, (by elevation of the
land or other things)that the board could potentially put together some type of project that
could help mitigate those for some specific parcels for redevelopment.
Mr. Floyd spoke about the Rosewood Drainage project, and stated that when it was
originally planned the estimated costs were expected to be around $250,000, but now the
costs would be about $500,000. This proposal would improve stormwater drainage for
some of the land in the area,and would improve visual aesthetics and safety for the area.
This is a project that could be brought to the board after vetting and getting bids on the
project.
Mr. Mark Beauchamp raised questions if this project would spur economic development,
and stated he didn't feel like this is a good fit for the TIF#3 funds to be used on.
The possibility of presenting a project for dead-end water mains and valve replacements
within the district was discussed. Mr. Floyd pointed out an estimate of approximately
$300,000(that was included in the staff report). He stated a package could be presented
to the board that would allow for the maintenance of water lines that would improve water
quality for the area. There was some discussion for some particular projects, that if the
TIF#3 board approved funding for, and was asked if there was a way that the city could
match funds. Mr. Floyd said maybe, potentially, or to possibly have other matching
prospects. If they(the board) are looking at whether a project is on a developable lot,they
will have to discuss what it will take to make it happen. At the next meeting, when they
discuss the business development plan, they can discuss whether there is a matching
fund, a forgivable loan or something else that will allow for that development to take place.
He noted that in our tax abatement zone (that has proven effective)is that we are able to
talk about these incentives at the pre-development level.
Another proposed project that the city might bring before the TIF#3 board is for Street
Rehab and sidewalks. Staff would do some work to identify some existing gaps, and high
foot traffic areas if it is to be presented to the board.
PAGE 3 of 4
AGENDA ITEM NO.6.d
Tax Increment Financing*3 Board Meeting PAGE 3 September 3,202$
Board members brought up the need for curbing (to help channel high waters down away
from properties) and the need for bus stops. Mr. Floyd said there is a potential for TIF#3
funds to be used for projects like these, but said there would need to be a detailed review
on the project plan.
The original amount of money suggested to allocate to infrastructure was $750,000, but
Mr. Floyd asked the board if they would give input on the amount that they would like
allocated to infrastructure in the TIF#3 area. There was continued discussion on
beautification of the area,economic development and infrastructure in the zone.
Mr. Floyd said the greatest growth for economic development in the area will come from
private investors that will develop in that area and start businesses there. Ms. Sandra
Gross stated that she is conflicted on if they should help already established businesses
in the TIF#3 zone and enhance them, or use the funds to help create new business
Mr. Beauchamp suggested a train depot off of MLK, because Amtrak has discussed
coming to our area. He said that it would be a great spark for our area. It was stated that
the timeline for the development that Amtrak has discussed is unknown right now.
Chairperson Haney said the board needs to have the plan in place for the allocation for
the funds within the year.
There was continued discussion on businesses and growth in the area, and what can be
done to start, and continue, growth in the TIF#3 zone. Also discussed was looking at
development options, the flood plain (bringing in fill dirt), mitigating the flooding, and what
could be brought to the area to improve quality of life for the residents.
It is important to get the developers interested in investing in the area, and to maybe offer
available funding to assist in developing in the TIF#3 zone.
It was stated that the$750,000 Rosewood project is not a priority to the board at this time.
Board and staff members will be reaching out to local realtors (and also the Chamber of
Commerce) to find out find if any properties in that area are available for development, if
they have investors that might be interested in investing/developing in our zone, and what
type of programs might help them in redevelopment.
V. OTHER BUSINESS
a) Next Meeting Date—Mr. Terry Floyd asked if the Board could meet again on September
24, 2024. The Board agreed to this date.
VI. ADJOURN
Chairman Haney asked if anyone had any other comments. With no more comments
being made, Chairman Haney adjourned the meeting.
