The motion carried with council approval.

City staff said the city acquired the Valley Oaks Shopping Center as part of a strategic redevelopment priority and also acquired an adjacent donut shop property across the channel. The 56‑year‑old building requires extensive excavation and replumbing to meet current plumbing code and Americans with Disabilities Act standards. Staff solicited three bids and recommended ABC Plumbing as the lowest responsible bidder; the contract amount is $36,445 and will be funded from lease revenue tied to the Valley Oaks property when it is leasable.

Staff also described a partnership with HEBIC (a local education/placement program) to engage special‑education students in workforce‑transition activities related to the redevelopment. A council member moved to authorize the contract; the motion passed by voice vote.

City staff said work is intended to prepare the building for a sit‑down coffee shop as part of broader redevelopment objectives for the Valley Oaks Shopping Center and that project scope includes excavation and replacement of aging plumbing infrastructure.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Hurst - City Council - Jun 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Hurst City Council authorized the city manager to contract with ABC Plumbing for plumbing renovations at a future coffee shop at 420 West Pipeline Road; the $36,445 project will be funded from lease revenue tied to Valley Oaks redevelopment.","taxTitle","Hurst City, Tarrant County, Texas","taxId",54108,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6543089,"Council authorizes interlocal amendment to add DFW Airport to Northeast Fire Department Association",175,3509000,3684000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3764429-569edde8c52897c059181b87494ab816&start=3509&end=3684","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3764429-569edde8c52897c059181b87494ab816/thumbnail_3509000.jpg","/articles/6543089/Hurst-City/Tarrant-County/Texas/Council-authorizes-interlocal-amendment-to-add-DFW-Airport-to-Northeast-Fire-Department-Association","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6543089-80289f9d021ac2cc7f3cb3f6f12e5c0a/orig.mp4?Expires=1775538092&Signature=oDuGSHzTLSaaeCjAONTq8Etk6udB97zZm4tOXOVUoM~bDhVyn5pOzEctofbHvbsU3dWDzFNTzasFvhZjOV8UYOmbcdv-X4CgKPUgdF4JgGDovPiq-0~OGYGX85URZb94lk3cHaJebw833VbH5Su8BsqOuBE5rRCa-aFCpwtWmFunKN2-86GHMpQsnx4Ed~Khw8xgjKX38353oWVyjoCAttKtANjxEyGy30v-y5hpWxvChxe9tG34u8qIuV3Z-Gll9z8HsDdnz7n48C7VrZQdKU~~Vl0YyoTCe4FoRsXJ0v3wd1nEjUKpU76iBETOGn-WnSR7S7K2JLy5Z~b4oLadxQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Hurst City Council authorized the city manager to enter into an amendment to the existing interlocal agreement with the Northeast Fire Department Association (NEFTA) to include DFW Airport as a participating member city for capital equipment access.

The council approved the change by unanimous vote after a presentation from the fire chief. City staff said NEFTA operates on an operating and capital budget model with a base fee and additional per‑capita fees for member cities; DFW Airport is joining on the capital equipment side and will provide access to specialized units and capital equipment to member cities when those resources are needed.

The chief told council NEFTA and DFW already have mutual aid and training ties: training began last March and will continue in September, and member cities will integrate DFW into CAD systems so specialized units from DFW will be dispatched for incidents requiring their equipment. The chief described DFW as “a good partner” with substantial specialized resources that will expand NEFTA’s capabilities.

A council member moved to authorize the city manager to enter the amendment, subject to final form review by the city attorney; the motion passed with all council members voting in favor. Staff said the addition will next proceed to the NEFTA board for approval by the other member cities.","Hurst City Council authorized the city manager to enter an amendment to the interlocal agreement with the Northeast Fire Department Association to add DFW Airport as a member city for capital equipment access; motion carried unanimously.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6543093,"Hurst City Council denies Valentine Oaks Homes site plan after residents raise privacy, traffic and drainage concerns",3037,523000,3560000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3764429-569edde8c52897c059181b87494ab816&start=523&end=3560","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3764429-569edde8c52897c059181b87494ab816/thumbnail_523000.jpg","/articles/6543093/Hurst-City/Tarrant-County/Texas/Hurst-City-Council-denies-Valentine-Oaks-Homes-site-plan-after-residents-raise-privacy-traffic-and-drainage-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6543093-e063a75e05259d812cd21d5cb46ed4d0/orig.mp4?Expires=1775538092&Signature=fZXALIpUL37Xliq0yg5PSsgofTaP67U7OyPl5IzT4c-WPtJFCQ9FvO-h28x9KirwCTxKuqny2P4YJfOCrSeDspUII4fzybkCfgSWJxUk-PuW7DuOjwfW~qQ~FgUKujijX4jlQuaD~UN6Sm7D31pS19QyLjH7Dk7UxezZ-V~LWXEQwnQkEqxURNGgcQ2y5tk43dii4cI3dNlc7~j6DTJztWqQil7fgHcqxN6YRDhPFkwoOrij96mI94LMlrj46LZdVTZO9zGzUvUK4914jlvzOqoqceEVId7z1z0MDIXvbFlUk26nMnQ98F7C3SWNwBYQWc4nvrOFpkCIjVAjfqH1fQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Hurst City Council on an unspecified date voted 4-1 to deny Ordinance 25-97, reading to consider Site Plan 20250003 for “Valentine Oaks Homes,” a proposed two‑building development at 912 Barbara Ann Drive.

The proposal called for two two‑story quadplex buildings (eight residential units total) on a 0.788‑acre lot in a mixed‑use zone. Staff and the applicant said the project would provide 19 on‑site parking spaces (the ordinance minimum is 16), include sidewalks on Barbara Ann Drive, and meet the two‑story minimum for the zoning district; the applicant offered a condition to frost second‑floor north‑facing windows to address privacy concerns.

The project drew substantial public opposition during the public hearing. Multiple residents questioned visibility into backyards, the height and scale of two‑story buildings next to one‑story homes, potential increased traffic and on‑street parking, and drainage from the site to a nearby constructed channel. A resident who spoke for neighbors said the proposal would create “too many people, too many” on the parcel and urged council to deny the request.

Developer Sirfraz Hansraj and applicant representative Jason Tapton described neighborhood outreach efforts and the proposed standards for the development. Hansraj said the units would be “modern, high quality” and argued renters would likely be financially stable; he told council the property management company’s published rental criteria require applicants to earn at least three times the rent and that the management firm does not accept Section 8 housing. Hansraj said the proposed monthly rent would be approximately $2,400 and that the site is roughly 130 feet from the nearest single‑family home, with a creek buffer to the east and a vacant lot to the north.

City staff explained technical aspects of the site plan: a required emergency access drive approved by the fire department, a proposed landscape plan with street trees and screening shrubs, and that civil engineering during later design will be required to ensure the development does not increase peak flows to the existing channel. Staff also confirmed a petition presented with signatures was verified and did not meet the supermajority threshold, so the item required only a simple majority vote of the council.

Council action came after discussion of two motions. One council member moved to approve the ordinance with a stipulation that the north‑facing second‑floor windows be frosted; that motion failed for lack of a second. Another council member then moved to deny Ordinance 25‑97; that motion passed 4‑1.

After the vote the mayor asked the developer to continue discussions with neighbors to find a mutually acceptable solution.
