TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Ken Irvin, Sr. Network Administrator
SUBJECT: Purchase of City Hall Dispatch Computer Equipment Replacement

In early 2009, the City purchased equipment to support a permanent dispatch center in

Hardware and Software.
All items proposed for replacement are defined in the Capital Projects budget as project
number 14600. The cost and intended purchasing vehicle for each item is outlined
below:
1. 16 Desktop Computers and Monitors - $21,633.56 - Dell Computers - TXDIR Contract
Number DIR SDD-1951
2. MATROX Video Cards (Required for CAD Software) - $882.84 – CDW – TCPN
Contract Number R5106
3. NICE Logger Appliance and Software - $58,601.00 - TXDIR Contract Number DIR
SDD-1736
RECOMMENDATION:
Replacing these items will allow us to continue providing excellent service to the
community by providing a stable computing environment in the City Hall Dispatch
Center. Staff recommends replacement of the indicated equipment.

AGENDA MEMO
3/4/2014 Agenda
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Harry N. Persaud, MRPTI, AICP, Chief Planning Official
SUBJECT: Continue a public hearing on an amended detailed site plan for Planned
Development District “PD-27" for St. Christopher's Episcopal Church to
provide for a children's playground.
BACKGROUND:
The subject tract is zoned Planned Development District PD-27 for St. Christopher's
Episcopal Church. Existing development and uses on the site include the church, a
Montessori School and a children's playground located on the south portion of the site
facing Westminster. The Church is requesting an amendment to the detailed site plan to
enclose an existing courtyard located north of the Parish Hall to be used for another
children's playground. The attached detailed site plan shows the proposed playground
to be enclosed with an 8 feet wrought iron fence with masonry columns and recreation
equipment to be installed.
Council held a public hearing on July 16, 2013 and expressed concerns about a wooden
fence at that specific location. Council again discussed the item on September 17,
2013 and tabled the item to allow Taylor Armstrong, a representative of the City to work
with the Church to design an appropriate fence for that location. It was moved that the
public hearing would remain open at that meeting. Staff met with representatives of the
Church on December 4, 2013 regarding the proposed design of a wrought iron fence.
The final design was submitted to staff on Thursday February 20, 2014.
Notices for the proposed amendment were mailed to 10 property owners located within
200 feet of the subject site and a public notice was posted in the Park Cities News on
June 27, 2013. Two responses were received, with both opposed to the proposed
amendment.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at its regular meeting on
May 14, 2013 and voted 4 - 1 to recommend approval.

FROM: Harry Persaud, MRTPI, AICP, Chief Planning Official
SUBJECT: Consider an ordinance creating a Special Sign District for the Highland
Park High School to provide for advertising signage and new scoreboard
located at Highlander Stadium.
BACKGROUND:
HPISD has requested approval to increase the size of the existing scoreboard at the
Football Field. The subject site is located south of Grassmere Street, east of Douglas
and west of Westchester and situated on Lots 1-9, Block 9, of the Methodist University
Addition and known as Highlander Stadium.
Existing signage includes 34 advertising signs all mounted on the east and west sides,
facing the football field with a typical dimension of 12 feet 2 inches wide and 9 feet 2
inches in height measured from grade. The existing scoreboard measures 36 feet in
width and 19 feet 3 inches in height and mounted 13 feet 4 inches above grade. The
new scoreboard is 36 feet in width by 25 feet in height and mounted 13 feet 4 inches
above grade.
The draft ordinance attached provides for the number, location, size and dimension of
the new scoreboard and advertising signage.
RECOMMENDATION:
UDADAC considered this request at its meeting on January 29, 2014 and unanimously
recommended approval subject to a special condition that the number of advertising
signs shall not exceed forty (40), all of which must be oriented internally facing the field.

1. Call to Order
Bud Smallwood opened the meeting at 12:03pm.
2. Discuss a Proposed Amendment to the Special Sign District for HPISD
Bud Smallwood introduced the agenda item and reviewed the definition of “Special Sign District”. He
then turned over the meeting to Harry Persaud. Harry Persaud addressed the committee welcoming
them to the first UDADAC meeting of the new year and introduced the guests in attendance as
representatives of the Highland Park School District. Guests in attendance were Noble Nash, Johnny
Ringgold, Mike Nolen, and Tim Turner. Mr. Persaud noted the school district approached the City about
increasing the size of the scoreboard at the football stadium. Mr. Persaud suggested to HPISD the
advertising signs on the fence around the football field were not included in the special sign district and
would need to be addressed in the amendment as well. Mr. Persaud continued by providing the
committee a history of the HPISD special sign district and then moved on to the specifics of the
amendment.
The proposed scoreboard would be 36’ wide by 25’ tall; the existing scoreboard is 36’ wide and 19’ 3/4”
tall. The new score board would be topped with a Bank of Texas logo and the area under the logo would
be a digital video screen. The advertising signs on the fence around the interior of the football field
currently number 34. It was determined those will be covered under the amendment and as well as up to
six (6) additional signs for no more than 40 signs total.
Discussion ensued regarding the proposal and its potential impact on the neighborhood. The HPISD
representatives answered questions.
Chairman Culwell moved to approve the amendment to the special sign district for Highland Park
Independent School District which would provide for the larger scoreboard and up to 40 advertising signs
along the interior fence of the football stadium. Doug Smellage seconded the motion and all members
present voted in favor.
Mr. Persaud informed the committee the amendment would go to Council at the March, 4, 2014 meeting.
3. Review and Approve Minutes of the June 11, 2013 meeting
Mr. Smellage moved to approve the minutes, and Cindy Kipp seconded the motion. All members present
voted in favor.
4. Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 12:30pm.

AGENDA MEMO
3/4/2014 Agenda
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Harry Persaud, MRTPI, AICP, Chief Planning Official
SUBJECT: Discuss short-term rental of single-family homes and provide direction to
staff
BACKGROUND:
City Council received a report from staff on November 19, 2013 regarding short-term
leasing of single-family homes in the City. The Council forwarded the item to the Zoning
Ordinance Advisory Committee (ZOAC) for review and consideration. ZOAC held an
initial meeting on December 12, 2013 and received reports from residents of the 3300
block of Westminster regarding a single-family home in that neighborhood which was
advertised online and leased on a short-term basis.
ZOAC convened a second meeting on February 19, 2014 after reviewing ordinances
and other information related to short-term rental of single-family homes in other cities.
Staff provided a summary of on-going online advertising for single-family homes for a
period of nine weeks prior to February 19, 2014 and police records for all complaints
received for those specific properties for the past year. ZOAC discussed the issues and
determined that there was no compelling reason or widespread problem at this time to
establish regulations for short-term rental of single-family homes. ZOAC requested that
staff continue to monitor online advertising of short-term rentals and refer complaints to
the Police Dept.
RECOMMENDATION:
ZOAC considered this item and recommended no further action at this time; however,
the committee requested that the City continue to monitor short-term rental websites,
especially during events that might attract visitors to the metroplex. Staff will continue to
monitor web advertising of single-family homes in the community.

Chairman Bob Spies opened the meeting at approximately 12:20 PM, and introduced the
following item:
ZOAC - 13-002: Discuss short term rental in single family homes and provide direction
to staff.
Chairman Spies then opened the floor for presentation. Ms. Susan Wilson, who resides at 3312
Westminster, addressed the committee first. She explained that the neighbor at 3320 Westminster
regularly lists her home for rent on various short term rental websites, such as VRBO.com. The
home is advertised for rent at $850 per night, with no minimum stay. She added that the neighbor
lives in the home full-time with her daughter, and then vacates the property while it is being
rented. Ms. Wilson distributed handouts with information from other cities in the United States
that regulate short term rentals. She explained that the short term renters create extra traffic and
noise. She added that her biggest concern is safety because she does not know the renters. Mr.
Rob Dillard asked if this area had resident-only parking, and Ms. Wilson replied no.
Ms. Kim Daugherty, who resides at 3324 Westminster, then addressed the Committee. She read
aloud a letter that she had written to the Committee. The letter highlighted her concerns with the
short term rentals including safety issues, as she has two daughters ages 7 and 10. The letter also
described that Ms. Daugherty had tried to confront her neighbor about the issue, but the neighbor
has continued to deny that the property is being rented out.
Ms. Wilson and Ms. Daugherty then added additional detail about the type of complaints they
have had with the renters including damage to property. Ms. Wilson described an incident in
which some of the renters broke another neighbors Christmas lights. Ms. Daugherty then
described an incident in which a large trailer was parked in front of her house overnight, facing
the wrong direction. She explained that the police were called and the renters were ticketed. A
discussion ensued regarding parking and the possibility of petitioning for resident-only parking
in the neighborhood.
Mr. Rob Dillard stated that at this time the city does not regulate rentals of any length of time,
and added that it is a property right to rent out your home. He further explained that most cities
that regulate short term rentals are vacation destinations. He stated that it needs to be determined
if this is really a problem for the city. In his opinion, it would be possible to regulate only if a
definite impact on the community could be determined as a result of short term rentals. He added
that some of the complaints could be resolved by calling the police, and the main concern of the
neighbors seems to be the conduct of the renters.
Mr. Bob Clark then stated that short term rentals are not compatible with single family zoning. A
discussion ensued regarding zoning and current ordinances in place. Mr. Harry Persaud
presented a brief PowerPoint presentation on the item as it relates to zoning. He added that the
current ordinances, such as a violation of the family definition, would be difficult to enforce. He
then presented several options to the committee including monitoring short term rentals and
potentially requiring registration for STRs.
Ms. Gretchen Henry asked how many other homes in the city are being rented short term. Mr.
Corder stated that he has only seen 3 to 4 homes for rent at any time. Mr. Dillard recommended
that the committee hear from the property owner at 3320 Westminster, and also review police
data for other complaints.
Mr. Clark stated that the property owner is running a business from his home. A discussion then
ensued regarding home occupation.
Chairman Spies stated that he does not feel that the Committee has enough information or
enough members present to make a decision at this time. He recommended that city staff monitor
the available rentals and also review complaint data from the police department. All Committee
members were in agreement.
With there being no further business before the Committee, Chairman Spies adjourned the
meeting at approximately 1:15 PM.

The Zoning Ordinance Advisory Committee of the City of University Park met on Wednesday,
February 19, 2014 at 12:00 Noon in the South Conference Room, Peek Service Center, 4420
Worcola, Dallas, Texas. The following are minutes of that meeting.

Chairman Bob Spies opened the meeting at approximately 12:15 PM, and introduced the
following item:
ZOAC - 13-002: Discuss short term rental in single family homes and provide direction
to staff.
Chairman Spies then opened the floor for a briefing from city staff. Mr. Harry Persaud addressed
the committee to explain a handout that was distributed prior to the meeting. The handout
summarized nine weeks of tracking short term rental advertisements on the following websites:
Air Bnb, Homeaway, and VRBO. Attached is copy of this documentation.
Mr. Persaud then circulated copies of police reports for each of the addresses that were found to
be advertising short term rentals, including 2932 Dyer, 3201 Northwest Pkwy, 3537 Marquette,
and 3320 Westminster. Ms. Gretchen Henry asked if the reports were directly related to the
rental of the properties. Mr. Persaud explained that it appeared that all of the complaints involved
the owners of the properties, and not renters. A discussion ensued regarding the relevancy of the
reports, as it could not be determined if the complaints were linked to the rental of the property.
Mr. Terry Skartsiaris asked if there were any current ordinances prohibiting short term rentals.
Mr. Rob Dillard replied that there is an ordinance prohibiting the rental of garage apartments, but
there is currently nothing prohibiting specifically short term rentals. Mr. Robbie Corder added
that it is difficult for city staff to enforce the ordinance for garage apartment rentals, but there are
some areas around SMU that are monitored by code enforcement.
Mr. Corbin Crews asked why short term rentals are happening now in the city of University
Park. Mr. Rob Dillard replied that initially the Super Bowl may have attracted short term renters
to the area. Mr. Robert Rhoads added that SMU football games likely attract renters as well. A
discussion then ensued regarding the initial complaint at 3320 Westminster. Mr. Robbie Corder
explained that surrounding neighbors initially approached City Council, asking for them to
regulate this activity. City Council then sent the issue to ZOAC to research further.
Mr. Corder added that there has not been an increase in emergency calls to these properties.
Chairman Spies stated that it appears no major issues have arisen as a result of the short term
rental properties, and he does not feel that the city should punish all homeowners as a result of
one bad example. Mr. Syd Carter asked if Ms. Susan Wilson had called the police regarding the
renters on Westminster, prior to bringing the issue to City Council. Mr. Corder replied that she
had not.
A discussion then ensued regarding short term rentals in other areas. Mr. Rob Dillard explained
that the city of Austin began losing hotel/motel tax income due to the popularity of short term
rentals. For this reason, the city began licensing the rentals so that this income could be
recouped.
Chairman Spies explained that he believes city staff should continue to monitor the short term
rentals being advertised, especially through upcoming football season. He added that it would be
helpful for the neighbors to call in complaints to the police so that the city could more easily
track them. Chairman Spies asked for input from other Committee members. All expressed
agreement with this sentiment.
Mr. Robbie Corder added that the Community Development Department could work with the
Police Department to make them aware of short term rentals, so that officers could ask
appropriate questions when responding to calls that may be related to this activity.
Mr. Rob Dillard advised that in order to regulate a lawful activity such as renting property, there
would need to be evidence that there is a negative impact to a substantial part of the community.
Chairman Spies stated that the Committee has not found enough evidence to warrant regulating
short term rentals at this time. He then made a motion for city staff to continue to monitor the
short term rental advertisements, including throughout the upcoming SMU football season. The
motion passed with a unanimous vote.
Chairman Spies then made a motion to approve Minutes from the February 26, 2013 and
December 12, 2013 meetings. The Minutes were approved with a unanimous vote.
With there being no further business before the Committee, Chairman Spies adjourned the
meeting at approximately 12:53 PM.
