Meeting Date:	10/11/2022
Item Title:	Z 22-20 Grenadier Investments, Inc. - Zoning (District 7)
Submitted By:	Nabiha Ahmed, Lead Development Planner

REQUEST

Approval of 1) a Change in Zoning from Planned Development (PD) District 85-50 and Community Office (CO) District to a Planned Development (PD) District for Single-Family Attached (SFA) Uses and 2) an Alley Waiver

Approval of a Detail Plan for Single-Family Attached (SFA) development.

LOCATION
2200 and 2302 West Campbell Road

OWNER

George W. Baldwin

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION

On September 12, 2022 the Plan Commission, by a vote of six (6) to two (2), recommended denial of 1) a Change in Zoning from Planned Development (PD) District 85-50 and Community Office (CO) District to a Planned Development (PD) District for Single-Family Attached (SFA) Uses and 2) an Alley Waiver.

The Plan Commission, by a vote of six (6) to two (2), also recommended denial of a Detail Plan for Single-Family Attached (SFA) development.

To address concerns raised during the Plan Commission meeting, the applicant has since made the following changes to the site layout:

Re-located the amenity center in centralized location in the western tract for a better lake view.
Expanded parking in the center of the western tract by adding three (3) additional head-in parking spaces across from the amenity center.
Expanded parking on the eastern tract by adding six (6) additional parking spaces to help accommodate visitor parking.
A dog park was added to the western tract.
The townhouses on the western tract are now restricted to a maximum height of two-stories.
Pedestrian gates have been added into the perimeter screening wall for both eastern and western tracts to allow a resident from either side to safely traverse Shiloh Road at the pedestrian crossing at that intersection.
A traffic-calming circle was added to the western tract to prevent cut-through traffic.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Approval of 1) a Change in Zoning from Planned Development (PD) District 85-50 and Community Office (CO) District to a Planned Development (PD) District for Single-Family Attached (SFA) Uses and 2) an Alley Waiver

Approval of a Detail Plan for Single-Family Attached (SFA) development.

BACKGROUND

The applicant proposes to construct one-hundred fifty-five (155) townhouses and eighteen (18) HOA open space lots on the eastern and western tracts. Both tracts are unimproved.

SITE DATA

The overall subject property contains approximately 21 acres. Tract 1 (west of North Shiloh Road) is 8.2 acres and Tract 2 (east of North Shiloh Road) is 12.9 acres. Tract 1 has approximately 800 lineal feet of frontage along West Campbell Road and 715 lineal feet of frontage along North Shiloh Road. Tracy 2 has approximately 1,005 lineal feet of frontage along West Campbell Road and 524 lineal feet of frontage along North Shiloh Road.

Both tracts can be accessed from North Shiloh Road and West Campbell Road.

USE OF PROPERTY UNDER CURRENT ZONING

Tract 1 is currently zoned Community Office (CO) District. The Community Office (CO) District is intended to create an appropriate setting for medium and higher intensity office and professional uses. The district may be used as a transition district between low intensity office/retail uses and more intense uses. It is also generally appropriate along major transportation corridors. However, the Community Office (CO) District is generally not appropriate in proximity to low-density residential districts. Examples of allowed uses in a Community Office (CO) district are: professional offices, campus-style corporate office, research, and assembly operations that may be large in scale but that are conducted wholly within a building(s) with very limited or no outside storage. In addition, a Specific Use Provision (S 06-53) was approved in 2006 for a Retail Sales/Personal Service Use, but it was never constructed.

Tract 2 is zoned Planned Development Planned Development (PD) District 85-50 for Community Retail Uses. In 1985, the City Council approved a mixed use development. The subject property was designated as “Tract 1” and was approved for retail use. The southern portion was designated as “Tract 2” and was approved for a multi-family development, now zoned Planned Development (PD) District 98-01.

CONSIDERATIONS

Detail Plan

The applicant proposes a Detail Plan for a development of townhouses in two (2) tracts; however, they will be constructed at the same time. The Site Plan (Exhibit C) shows sixty-two (62) single-family attached townhouse units and five (5) HOA lots in Tract 1 and ninety-three (93) single-family attached units and thirteen (13) HOA lots in Tract 2. In addition, the applicant is proposing 10.8 units per acre, therefore meeting the SFA GDC requirement.

The applicant has selected an urban design for this townhouse development. A combination of two-story and three-story townhouse units are proposed for this development. The three-story units will face along the greenbelt on the eastern tract.

The applicant requests to deviate from some of the required SFA District development standards per Section 2.34 (Table 2-3) of the Garland Development Code (GDC). The table below indicates the deviations proposed. It should be noted that the proposal will meet the minimum dwelling size requirement (1,400 sf) per the GDC.

Development Standards	Required	Proposed (Minimum)	Justification
Lot Area	Minimum 2,000 SF	Minimum 1,600 SF	The proposed lot size allows the desired number of townhomes and enhanced amenities.
Lot Depth	Minimum 90 feet	Minimum 75 feet	The proposed lot width is due to the unusual shape of the western tract and the floodplain on the eastern tract, which takes up 2.1 acres.
Lot Width	Minimum 30 feet for end lots Minimum 20 feet for interior lots	Minimum 27 feet for end lots Minimum 22 feet for interior lots.	The proposed lot width is due to the unusual shape of the western tract and the floodplain on the eastern tract, which takes up 2.1 acres.
Building Setbacks	Adjacent to Street: Front: 10 feet Side: 10 feet Not Adjacent to Street Side: 5 feet Rear: 5 feet	10 feet 10 feet 5 feet 5 feet	The site plan (Exhibit C) complies with the building setbacks.
Lot Orientation	All lots within the SFA district must front on a public street, a City-approved public way, or common area lot that is dedicated for mutual access to each lot.	The site plan (Exhibit C) shows eight-one (81) “Mews Type” lots where they don’t front onto a Public Street or City-approved public way, but they do have, in every instance, a common area lot that is dedicated for mutual access to these townhomes.	The applicant contends they have built many Mews Type lots at other projects, which includes Riverset and Heritage Park in Garland, and they have found the unique living environment is something highly desired by their homeowners, to the point that they are willing to pay a premium price for such a townhome fronting onto a Mews condition.
Alleys	Alleys are required	35 front-loaded lots 121 rear-loaded lots	The applicant proposes a combination of front-loaded and rear-loaded lots.
Garage Setback	20 feet	The applicant proposes twenty (20) feet driveway depth for all street facing garages and five (5) feet depth for all alley facing garages except for lots facing Campbell Road, Shiloh Road, and the floodplain on the east as shown on the site plan (Exhibit C).	The applicant contends this requirement is unnecessary since there is no City sidewalk in this situation. Pedestrian circulation happens on the front side of the townhome, in a much more protected and pedestrian-friendly environment.

Screening and Landscaping

The proposed landscape layout (Exhibit D) complies with the applicable screening standards. Per the GDC, a screening wall is required along a thoroughfare Type “D” or greater. North Shiloh Road and West Campbell Road are both considered to be greater than Type “D”; therefore, a six (6)-foot brick thin wall will be placed above a retaining wall on the northern perimeter along West Campbell Road on both tracts. The landscape plan (Exhibit D) reflects a six (6)-foot brick thin wall on the eastern perimeter line along North Shiloh Road and a five (5)-foot ornamental fence along the western perimeter line for Tract 1.

In addition, a five (5)-foot ornamental fence is proposed along the eastern and western perimeter lines of Tract 2. The landscape plan (Exhibit D) shows large canopy trees and high-level screening shrubs on the street side of the ornamental fence along North Shiloh Road. In addition, another row of high-level screening shrubs are proposed in the development side of the ornamental fence to fully screen the development from North Shiloh Road.

The landscape plan reflects the open space required per the GDC. However, the eastern tract requires along West Campbell Road requires eleven (11) canopy trees. Due to the overhead utility lines, the applicant proposes to substitute one (1) large canopy trees with three (3) small ornamental trees. Therefore, a total of thirty-three (33) small ornamental trees along the eastern tract of West Campbell Road.
Open Space
The applicant has considered open space while designing the townhouses around the City Park near the western tract. The eastern tract has a floodplain and all the trees within the floodplain will be preserved. The site plan (Exhibit C) meets the open space requirement per the GDC.
Amenities
Common open space area is included with the proposed development in accordance with the GDC. The amenity requirements of the Single-Family Attached (SFA) District per the GDC are satisfied. Amenities include a clubhouse, swimming pool, fitness center and a dog park. All residents on either side of the tracts will have access to the amenities.
Trail Connection
The landscape plan (Exhibit D) shows an eight (8)-foot trail connection to the City’s Spring Creek Harris Trail. The Engineering Department and the Parks Department will review the exact alignment at the time of construction plan review.
Parking
The site plan (Exhibit C) complies with the required enclosed garages spaces and guest parking per the GDC.
Garage
The GDC requires the face of a garage door to be at least twenty (20) feet from the street or alley right-of-way line that the garage door faces (twenty-four feet if facing an interior lot/property line), and must have at least one of the following designs, as depicted in Illustrations 4-9 through 4-13:

Rear entry;
“J” drives, for front entry properties;
“Swing” drives, for side entry properties; or
Offset front entry with the garage door set back at least five feet behind the front building face.

The site plan (Exhibit C) shows a thirty-five (35) front-loaded lots and 121 rear-loaded lots. The applicant proposes twenty (20) feet driveway depth for all street-facing garages and a five (5) feet driveway depth for alley-facing garages where the front property line is no further than 150 feet from an interior street.

Building Design
The building elevations complies with the articulation requirements per the GDC. The GDC also requires a minimum of three (3) architectural elements for each townhouse unit. The approved list from the GDC is below.Multiple pane windows featuring either divided light or simulated divided light;

A front porch area enclosed by a railing at least thirty inches in height, and containing decorative columns at least six inches in diameter;
Gable(s) with window(s);
Dormer(s);
Bay windows with a minimum projection of twenty-four inches;
Minimum 8:12 roof pitch;
Split garage doors with a separate door for each vehicle bay; or
Front covered porch with at least forty square feet of usable space, and a minimum depth of five feet.

The applicant proposes “Urban-styled contemporary townhouse products”. Therefore, another set of architectural elements has been crafted to support this development.

Each street elevation will incorporate three (3) of the following elements:

Dormer that breaks main roof line
Fenced Courtyard having a minimum depth of 10 feet and width of 10 feet (at least 100 square feet of useable space)
Accent roof projection of at least 3 feet.
Front door with glass inserts.
Garage door with glass inserts
Stained pine or cedar tongue and groove decorative soffit accent
Black or dark bronze colored window frames
Outdoor elevated terrace
Decorative arbor
3 different exterior finish materials

Signage
The applicant has not requested any deviation on signage; it will comply with the standards in the GDC.
Alley Waiver
The residential lots within the residential development would front a fifty (50) foot right-of-way with access to each lot limited to the street front. The applicant seeks an Alley Waiver from the Plan Commission for this development. Section 3.80 of theGDC requires every lot in a residential subdivision with two or more lots to be served by an alley at the rear, or, if a corner lot, at the rear or one side. Alleys are utilized to facilitate drainage for the subdivision development, provide an area for the placement of utilities, and to provide rear access to a single-family lot. As reflected on the Detail Plan, alleys are not proposed for this development, as all lots would have front vehicular access only and utilities and drainage would be provided through easements. The Engineering Department has reviewed the plans and has indicated the layout is conducive to providing adequate drainage while meeting the City’s requirements.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

The Future Land Use Map of the Envision Garland Plan recommends Compact Neighborhoods for Tract 1 and Urban Neighborhoods for Tract 2.

Compact neighborhoods provide areas for moderate increases in residential density, including single-family attached and single-family detached housing. It expands housing options through infill and redevelopment, while continuing walkable development patterns. These areas provide transitions between traditional residential neighborhoods and higher density residential neighborhoods and non-residential developments. These areas accommodate uses such as convenience retail (goods and services), office space, and public services. The architectural character and scale of these areas are compatible with adjacent residential development.

Urban neighborhoods are higher density residential developments. This residential option may utilize vertical mixed-use integrated into the surrounding area, reflecting the area’s dominant character or, when desired, promoting a new character. Urban neighborhoods are characterized by moderate to high density single-family attached and multifamily residential units.

This proposed use is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan.

COMPATIBILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES

The properties to the north of both tracts, across West Campbell Road, are zoned Planned Development (PD) District 97-04 for Multi-Family Use, Planned Development (PD) District 15-35 for Community Retail Uses, Planned Development (PD) District 03-49 for Community Retail Uses, Planned Development 16-46 for Neighborhood Office Use, Planned Development (PD) District 84-10 for Single-Family Uses and Planned Development (PD) District 83-50 for Mixed Uses. These properties are developed with an apartment complex, automobile repair, a bank and a medical facility. The property to the east of Tract 2 is zoned Planned Development (PD) District 05-44 for Single-Family Attached Use; these properties are developed with townhouses. The property to the south of Tract 2 is zoned Planned Development (PD) District 98-01 for Multi-Family Uses; this property is developed with an apartment complex. The property to the south and west of Tract 1 are zoned Neighborhood Office (NO) District and Agricultural (AG) District; there is an existing park.

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION

On September 12, 2022 the Plan Commission, by a vote of six (6) to two (2), recommended denial of 1) a Change in Zoning from Planned Development (PD) District 85-50 and Community Office (CO) District to a Planned Development (PD) District for Single-Family Attached (SFA) Uses and 2) an Alley Waiver.

The Plan Commission, by a vote of six (6) to two (2), also recommended denial of a Detail Plan for Single-Family Attached (SFA) development.

To address concerns raised during the Plan Commission meeting, the applicant has since made the following changes to the site layout:

Re-located the amenity center in centralized location in the western tract for a better lake view.
Expanded parking in the center of the western tract by adding three (3) additional head-in parking spaces across from the amenity center.
Expanded parking on the eastern tract by adding six (6) additional parking spaces to help accommodate visitor parking.
A dog park was added to the western tract.
The townhouses on the western tract are now restricted to a maximum height of two-stories.
Pedestrian gates have been added into the perimeter screening wall for both eastern and western tracts to allow a resident from either side to safely traverse Shiloh Road at the pedestrian crossing at that intersection.
A traffic-calming circle was added to the western tract to prevent cut-through traffic.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Approval of 1) a Change in Zoning from Planned Development (PD) District 85-50 and Community Office (CO) District to a Planned Development (PD) District for Single-Family Attached (SFA) Uses and 2) an Alley Waiver

Approval of a Detail Plan for Single-Family Attached (SFA) development.

BACKGROUND

The applicant proposes to construct one-hundred fifty-five (155) townhouses and eighteen (18) HOA open space lots on the eastern and western tracts. Both tracts are unimproved.

SITE DATA

The overall subject property contains approximately 21 acres. Tract 1 (west of North Shiloh Road) is 8.2 acres and Tract 2 (east of North Shiloh Road) is 12.9 acres. Tract 1 has approximately 800 lineal feet of frontage along West Campbell Road and 715 lineal feet of frontage along North Shiloh Road. Tracy 2 has approximately 1,005 lineal feet of frontage along West Campbell Road and 524 lineal feet of frontage along North Shiloh Road.

Both tracts can be accessed from North Shiloh Road and West Campbell Road.

USE OF PROPERTY UNDER CURRENT ZONING

Tract 1 is currently zoned Community Office (CO) District. The Community Office (CO) District is intended to create an appropriate setting for medium and higher intensity office and professional uses. The district may be used as a transition district between low intensity office/retail uses and more intense uses. It is also generally appropriate along major transportation corridors. However, the Community Office (CO) District is generally not appropriate in proximity to low-density residential districts. Examples of allowed uses in a Community Office (CO) district are: professional offices, campus-style corporate office, research, and assembly operations that may be large in scale but that are conducted wholly within a building(s) with very limited or no outside storage. In addition, a Specific Use Provision (S 06-53) was approved in 2006 for a Retail Sales/Personal Service Use, but it was never constructed.

Tract 2 is zoned Planned Development Planned Development (PD) District 85-50 for Community Retail Uses. In 1985, the City Council approved a mixed use development. The subject property was designated as “Tract 1” and was approved for retail use. The southern portion was designated as “Tract 2” and was approved for a multi-family development, now zoned Planned Development (PD) District 98-01.

CONSIDERATIONS

Detail Plan

The applicant proposes a Detail Plan for a development of townhouses in two (2) tracts; however, they will be constructed at the same time. The Site Plan (Exhibit C) shows sixty-two (62) single-family attached townhouse units and five (5) HOA lots in Tract 1 and ninety-three (93) single-family attached units and thirteen (13) HOA lots in Tract 2. In addition, the applicant is proposing 10.8 units per acre, therefore meeting the SFA GDC requirement.

The applicant has selected an urban design for this townhouse development. A combination of two-story and three-story townhouse units are proposed for this development. The three-story units will face along the greenbelt on the eastern tract.

The applicant requests to deviate from some of the required SFA District development standards per Section 2.34 (Table 2-3) of the Garland Development Code (GDC). The table below indicates the deviations proposed. It should be noted that the proposal will meet the minimum dwelling size requirement (1,400 sf) per the GDC.

Development Standards	Required	Proposed (Minimum)	Justification
Lot Area	Minimum 2,000 SF	Minimum 1,600 SF	The proposed lot size allows the desired number of townhomes and enhanced amenities.
Lot Depth	Minimum 90 feet	Minimum 75 feet	The proposed lot width is due to the unusual shape of the western tract and the floodplain on the eastern tract, which takes up 2.1 acres.
Lot Width	Minimum 30 feet for end lots Minimum 20 feet for interior lots	Minimum 27 feet for end lots Minimum 22 feet for interior lots.	The proposed lot width is due to the unusual shape of the western tract and the floodplain on the eastern tract, which takes up 2.1 acres.
Building Setbacks	Adjacent to Street: Front: 10 feet Side: 10 feet Not Adjacent to Street Side: 5 feet Rear: 5 feet	10 feet 10 feet 5 feet 5 feet	The site plan (Exhibit C) complies with the building setbacks.
Lot Orientation	All lots within the SFA district must front on a public street, a City-approved public way, or common area lot that is dedicated for mutual access to each lot.	The site plan (Exhibit C) shows eight-one (81) “Mews Type” lots where they don’t front onto a Public Street or City-approved public way, but they do have, in every instance, a common area lot that is dedicated for mutual access to these townhomes.	The applicant contends they have built many Mews Type lots at other projects, which includes Riverset and Heritage Park in Garland, and they have found the unique living environment is something highly desired by their homeowners, to the point that they are willing to pay a premium price for such a townhome fronting onto a Mews condition.
Alleys	Alleys are required	35 front-loaded lots 121 rear-loaded lots	The applicant proposes a combination of front-loaded and rear-loaded lots.
Garage Setback	20 feet	The applicant proposes twenty (20) feet driveway depth for all street facing garages and five (5) feet depth for all alley facing garages except for lots facing Campbell Road, Shiloh Road, and the floodplain on the east as shown on the site plan (Exhibit C).	The applicant contends this requirement is unnecessary since there is no City sidewalk in this situation. Pedestrian circulation happens on the front side of the townhome, in a much more protected and pedestrian-friendly environment.

Screening and Landscaping

The proposed landscape layout (Exhibit D) complies with the applicable screening standards. Per the GDC, a screening wall is required along a thoroughfare Type “D” or greater. North Shiloh Road and West Campbell Road are both considered to be greater than Type “D”; therefore, a six (6)-foot brick thin wall will be placed above a retaining wall on the northern perimeter along West Campbell Road on both tracts. The landscape plan (Exhibit D) reflects a six (6)-foot brick thin wall on the eastern perimeter line along North Shiloh Road and a five (5)-foot ornamental fence along the western perimeter line for Tract 1.

In addition, a five (5)-foot ornamental fence is proposed along the eastern and western perimeter lines of Tract 2. The landscape plan (Exhibit D) shows large canopy trees and high-level screening shrubs on the street side of the ornamental fence along North Shiloh Road. In addition, another row of high-level screening shrubs are proposed in the development side of the ornamental fence to fully screen the development from North Shiloh Road.

The landscape plan reflects the open space required per the GDC. However, the eastern tract requires along West Campbell Road requires eleven (11) canopy trees. Due to the overhead utility lines, the applicant proposes to substitute one (1) large canopy trees with three (3) small ornamental trees. Therefore, a total of thirty-three (33) small ornamental trees along the eastern tract of West Campbell Road.
Open Space
The applicant has considered open space while designing the townhouses around the City Park near the western tract. The eastern tract has a floodplain and all the trees within the floodplain will be preserved. The site plan (Exhibit C) meets the open space requirement per the GDC.
Amenities
Common open space area is included with the proposed development in accordance with the GDC. The amenity requirements of the Single-Family Attached (SFA) District per the GDC are satisfied. Amenities include a clubhouse, swimming pool, fitness center and a dog park. All residents on either side of the tracts will have access to the amenities.
Trail Connection
The landscape plan (Exhibit D) shows an eight (8)-foot trail connection to the City’s Spring Creek Harris Trail. The Engineering Department and the Parks Department will review the exact alignment at the time of construction plan review.
Parking
The site plan (Exhibit C) complies with the required enclosed garages spaces and guest parking per the GDC.
Garage
The GDC requires the face of a garage door to be at least twenty (20) feet from the street or alley right-of-way line that the garage door faces (twenty-four feet if facing an interior lot/property line), and must have at least one of the following designs, as depicted in Illustrations 4-9 through 4-13:

Rear entry;
“J” drives, for front entry properties;
“Swing” drives, for side entry properties; or
Offset front entry with the garage door set back at least five feet behind the front building face.

The site plan (Exhibit C) shows a thirty-five (35) front-loaded lots and 121 rear-loaded lots. The applicant proposes twenty (20) feet driveway depth for all street-facing garages and a five (5) feet driveway depth for alley-facing garages where the front property line is no further than 150 feet from an interior street.

Building Design
The building elevations complies with the articulation requirements per the GDC. The GDC also requires a minimum of three (3) architectural elements for each townhouse unit. The approved list from the GDC is below.Multiple pane windows featuring either divided light or simulated divided light;

A front porch area enclosed by a railing at least thirty inches in height, and containing decorative columns at least six inches in diameter;

Front covered porch with at least forty square feet of usable space, and a minimum depth of five feet.

The applicant proposes “Urban-styled contemporary townhouse products”. Therefore, another set of architectural elements has been crafted to support this development.

Each street elevation will incorporate three (3) of the following elements:

Dormer that breaks main roof line
Fenced Courtyard having a minimum depth of 10 feet and width of 10 feet (at least 100 square feet of useable space)
Accent roof projection of at least 3 feet.

7.   Garage:
The GDC requires the face of a garage door to be at least twenty (20) feet from the street or alley right-of-way line that the garage door faces (twenty-four feet if facing an interior lot/property line), and must have at least one of the following designs, as depicted in Illustrations 4-9 through 4-13:

• Rear entry;

•   “J” drives, for front entry properties;
•   “Swing” drives, for side entry properties; or
•   Offset front entry with the garage door set back at least five feet behind the front building face.

The site plan (Exhibit C) reflects front-loaded lots and the minimum twenty (20) feet from the right-of-way line to the face of the garage door. A deviation is requested to not require the offset of five (5) feet behind the front building face.

Signage

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

The Future Land Use Map of the Envision Garland Plan recommends Compact Neighborhoods for the subject property. Compact neighborhoods provide areas for moderate increases in residential density, including single-family attached and single-family detached housing. It expands housing options through infill and redevelopment, while continuing walkable development patterns. These areas provide transitions between traditional residential neighborhoods and higher density residential neighborhoods and non-residential developments. These areas accommodate uses such as convenience retail (goods and services), office space, and public services. The architectural character and scale of these areas are compatible with adjacent residential development.

This proposed use is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan.

COMPATIBILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES

The properties to the north, across East Miller Road, are zoned Planned Development (PD) District 06-12 for Community Retail Use and Planned Development (PD) District 83-54 for Single-family Uses; these properties are developed with a retail store and single-family properties, respectively. The property to the east is zoned Planned Development (PD) District 85-52 for Mixed Uses; it is developed with a fire station. The properties to the south are zoned Planned Development (PD) District 04-09 for single-family use; these properties are constructed with single-family properties. The property to the west, across South Country Club Road, is zoned Community Retail (CR) District; an educational facility currently exists on site.

BACKGROUND
The site is improved with a metal recycling salvage yard that processes materials including weighting, sorting, flattening, crushing, shredding, bundling, and palletizing materials for shipment, by hand and by machine, to send processing material back to a raw material state for client usage. In December 2019, the City Council approved site improvements which included vehicle circulation, parking, six (6) outside storage areas and ten (10) buildings. The applicant requests to amend the approved layout from 2019 to support the existing recycling salvage yard.
SITE DATA
The overall site consists of approximately 19.8 acres with approximately 658.5 lineal feet of frontage along South International Road. The site plan (Exhibit C) shows two (2) access points from South International Road.
USE OF PROPERTY UNDER CURRENT ZONING
Planned Development (PD) District 19-32 was approved for a recycling salvage yard with unlimited outside storage. The GDC defines a Recycling Salvage Yard as a facility which provides for the collection, sorting, storage, bundling and shipping of recoverable and recyclable non-automotive, non-consumable and non-compostable materials such as aluminum cans, glass, papers including magazines and newspapers, cardboard, wood pallets, metals, plastics, tires, computers and electronics, oil, paints, solvents, and textiles. Given the additional improvements proposed, amendments to the PD, SUP, and Detail Plan are required.

The hours of operation are from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. 2. Planned Development (PD) District 19-32 reflects eighty-nine (89) parking spaces and the facility has operated continuously for several years with no complaints regarding parking deficiencies. The intent is to construct 120 additional parking spaces in two (2) phases. 3. The Garland Development Code (GDC) establishes a series of Special Standards to Recycling Salvage Yard regarding processing of materials, storage of materials and on-site traffic circulation. With the exception of the outdoor storage screening method prescribed under Special Standards (see Consideration No. 3), the proposed Recycling Salvage Yard shall comply with all the applicable Special Standards. Smelting and refining activity is prohibited on the subject site per the PD Conditions. 4. The scope of work does not trigger any landscaping standards. However, the landscape plan (Exhibit D) reflects enhance landscaping along South International Road. The site plan (Exhibit C) reflects the existing eight (8)-foot metal fence along the northern property line, a nine (9)-foot metal fence along the eastern and southern property lines, chain-link fence along the northwestern property line. 5. Building Design The proposed buildings will comply with the applicable building design standards per the GDC. 6. Signage No deviations were requested regarding signage. 7. Specific Use Provision The applicant requests the SUP to be valid for a time period of twenty (20) years.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Future Land Use Map of the Envision Garland 2030 Comprehensive Plan designates this site for Business Center uses in the Employment Center Building Block. Business Centers provide a cluster of business offices and/or low impact industry, including campus-type development, which cumulatively employ large numbers of people. Operations within this development type occur internal to buildings resulting in minimal negative impacts (sound, air, traffic, outdoor lighting, storage, etc.) and are compatible with adjacent development types in architecture, character, scale, and intensity. Business Centers are generally located at intersections of major and/or secondary arterial streets or significant transit areas (bus/rail). Proximity and access to residential areas are encouraged to reduce travel times to employment. Site design addresses function and visual aesthetics providing appropriate buffering at gateway corridors, between adjacent developments, and for residential neighborhoods. Business Centers range in scale and intensity based on the surrounding vicinity and may consist of one or more buildings. This development type includes a variety of primary and secondary uses, including compatible residential uses, that support the business employment sector. The proposed use is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan.
COMPATIBILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES
Most of the properties to the east, south and west are zoned for Industrial Uses and are developed with a variety of industrial and heavy commercial land uses including recycling salvage yards. The properties to the north are zoned for Industrial and Community Office Uses and are mostly developed with medical related land uses, and industrial uses.

Item Title:	Z 22-45 Kehinde Omo-Iyamu - Zoning (District 5)
Submitted By:	Will Guerin, Planning Director

REQUEST
Approval of a Change in Zoning from Neighborhood Office (NO) District to Community Retail (CR) District. LOCATION 2940 Broadway Boulevard 2955 Dairy Road
OWNER
Felicia Omo-Iyamu
PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On September 12, 2022 the Plan Commission, by a vote of eight (8) to zero (0), recommended approval of a Change in Zoning from Neighborhood Office (NO) District to Community Retail (CR) District.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approval of a Change in Zoning from Neighborhood Office (NO) District to Community Retail (CR) District.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is currently zoned Neighborhood Office (NO) District and is improved with an existing multi-tenant office building and parking spaces. The applicant requests to rezone the property to Community Retail (CR) District to open a beauty salon from the existing building.
SITE DATA
The subject property contains approximately 0.482 acres, with approximately 165 lineal feet of frontage along Dairy Road and approximately 123 lineal feet along Broadway Boulevard. The property can be accessed from both Dairy Road and Broadway Boulevard.
USE OF PROPERTY UNDER CURRENT ZONING
The subject property is currently zoned Neighborhood Office (NO) District. The Neighborhood Office (NO) District is intended to create an appropriate setting for low intensity office and professional uses. The district may be used as a transition district between residential uses and more intense uses. With appropriate buffers and landscaping, this district may be located contiguous to residential districts. Allowed uses should be compatible with adjacent residential areas by limiting heights to one story, and may not include uses that create excessive amounts of traffic, noise, trash, or late-night business operations.
CONSIDERATIONS
1. The applicant requests to open a beauty salon use in the existing building. Beauty salons are classified as Personal Services, which is not a permitted use in the Neighborhood Office (NO) District. The Community Retail (CR) District allowed Personal Services by right. 2. The applicant does not propose any new construction or physical expansions. The proposed beauty salon will occupy a portion of the existing building. 3. The request is a traditional rezoning without the formation of a Planned Development (PD) District. These requests do not require Concept Plan or Detail Plan approval to commence or direct development. Development is dependent on the standards set forth by the Garland Development Code (GDC) and the goals and policies established within the Envision Garland 2030 Comprehensive Plan. This Change in Zoning is not intended to restrict uses or secure development performances beyond what is permitted within the proposed zoning district and the GDC. Accordingly the GDC requires careful consideration as to how closely the proposed district follows the policies of the Envision Garland 2030 Comprehensive Plan, and to what degree the rezoning will impact surrounding and future development. 4. In the event the Zoning Change request is approved, the applicant will proceed to the Building Inspections Department for a Certificate of Occupancy for the beauty salon use.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Future Land Use Map of the Envision Garland Plan recommends Compact Neighborhoods for the subject property. Compact neighborhoods provide areas for moderate increases in residential density, including single-family attached and single-family detached housing. It expands housing options through infill and redevelopment, while continuing walkable development patterns. These areas provide transitions between traditional residential neighborhoods and higher density residential neighborhoods and non-residential developments. These areas accommodate uses such as convenience retail (goods and services), office space, and public services. The architectural character and scale of these areas are compatible with adjacent residential development.
COMPATIBILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES
The immediate property to the north is zoned Neighborhood Office (NO) District and is currently vacant. Further to the north is a medical office use, and an office / social service use, zoned NO District. To the east, across Dairy Road, are retail and gas pump uses, zoned Community Retail (CR) District. To the south and west, across Broadway Boulevard, is a multi-tenant retail building, a church, and a used goods retail store, zoned Community Retail (CR) District. The proposed zoning change is compatible with the surrounding area and is appropriate as a corner lot on a primarily commercial/retail intersection.

REQUEST
Approval of 1) a Specific Use Provision for Food Processing & Storage; and 2) a Plan for Food Processing & Storage on a property zoned Industrial (IN) District. LOCATION 2610 McCree Road
OWNER
Scout Cold Storage Dallas, LLC
PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
During the September 12, 2022 meeting, the Plan Commission, with a vote of eight (8) to zero (0), recommended approval of ) a Specific Use Provision for Food Processing & Storage; and 2) a Plan for Food Processing & Storage on a property zoned Industrial (IN) District.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approval of 1) a Specific Use Provision for Food Processing & Storage; and 2) a Plan for Food Processing & Storage on a property zoned Industrial (IN) District.
BACKGROUND
The applicant requests to allow a Food Processing & Storage business within an existing 151,776 square-foot building. The Garland Development Code (GDC) requires a Specific Use Provision (SUP) for Food Processing & Storage use in the Industrial (IN) District.
SITE DATA
The subject property is a 9.789-acre tract of land and part of the overall Dallas Food Center development. The property is accessed from McCree Road.
USE OF PROPERTY UNDER CURRENT ZONING
The subject property is zoned Industrial (IN) District. The Industrial (IN) District is intended to provide for a wide range of industrial uses that are generally not compatible adjacent to residential neighborhoods, and may or may not be compatible with some nonresidential uses. Such uses include manufacturing, processing, assembling, research and development, and warehousing and distribution. The Industrial (IN) District also accommodates support services for industrial development such as office, commercial, personal and professional services, and limited retail activities. The Industrial (IN) District regulations are designed to ensure compatibility among the various uses allowed in the district, and to protect adjacent non-industrial development from potentially incompatible uses and conditions. In addition, there was a previous Specific Use Provision approval [S 07-14] for a Recycling Center, which is no longer there. The Garland Development Code (GDC) requires a Specific Use Provision (SUP) for Food Processing & Storage use in the Industrial (IN) District.
CONSIDERATIONS
1. The proposal includes interior renovations of an existing building for a refrigerated food processing and distribution facility. The proposed tenant is Salad and Go. The use will include the intake of foods such as lettuce, cleaning/washing food items, and packaging the products for shipping. Salad and Go will lease approximately 114,000 square feet of the 151,776 square-foot building, including some second floor space; the remainder of the building will continue to be leased by an existing tenant. 2. The proposal complies with the parking requirements per the Garland Development Code. 3. No building expansion is proposed; therefore, screening and landscaping requirements are not triggered by this request. 4. The applicant requests a Specific Use Provision time period of twenty (20) years, which aligns with the SUP Time Period Guide.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Envision Garland Plan designates the subject property as Industry Center, which provide a cluster of trade and industry that cumulatively employ large numbers of people. Operations within this development type may require substantial infrastructure and may result in more significant negative impacts (sound, air, traffic, outdoor lighting, storage, etc.). Operations may include such elements as semi-truck traffic, loading docks, and visible outdoor storage. Overall, the architecture, character, scale, and intensity should be compatible with adjacent development types. Industry Centers are generally located along major arterial streets, and highways and at significant transit areas (bus/ rail). Site design addresses function and visual aesthetics that provide appropriate buffering at gateway corridors, between adjacent developments, and for residential neighborhoods. Industry Centers range in scale and intensity based on the surrounding vicinity and may consist of one or more buildings. This development type includes a variety of primary and secondary uses that support the industry employment sector. This proposal contributes to the industry employment sector and is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan.
COMPATIBILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES
The area surrounding the subject property includes industrial and commercial uses. The remainder of the property to the east is zoned Industrial (IN) District and includes a large-scale light-industrial/distribution facility. East of that property is an automobile sales dealership. To the north are additional industrial uses, zoned Industrial (IN) District. To the south/southeast, across McCree Road, is a future U-Haul automotive repair facility and a future self-storage facility, zoned PD 19-27. To the west are additional automobile sales dealerships, zoned PD 03-54 and PD 01-26.

The applicant requests to allow a Food Processing & Storage business within an existing 151,776 square-foot building. The Garland Development Code (GDC) requires a Specific Use Provision (SUP) for Food Processing & Storage use in the Industrial (IN) District.
SITE DATA
The subject property is a 9.789-acre tract of land and part of the overall Dallas Food Center development. The property is accessed from McCree Road.
USE OF PROPERTY UNDER CURRENT ZONING
The subject property is zoned Industrial (IN) District. The Industrial (IN) District is intended to provide for a wide range of industrial uses that are generally not compatible adjacent to residential neighborhoods, and may or may not be compatible with some nonresidential uses. Such uses include manufacturing, processing, assembling, research and development, and warehousing and distribution. The Industrial (IN) District also accommodates support services for industrial development such as office, commercial, personal and professional services, and limited retail activities. The Industrial (IN) District regulations are designed to ensure compatibility among the various uses allowed in the district, and to protect adjacent non-industrial development from potentially incompatible uses and conditions. In addition, there was a previous Specific Use Provision approval [S 07-14] for a Recycling Center, which is no longer there. The Garland Development Code (GDC) requires a Specific Use Provision (SUP) for Food Processing & Storage use in the Industrial (IN) District.
CONSIDERATIONS
1. The proposal includes interior renovations of an existing building for a refrigerated food processing and distribution facility. The proposed tenant is Salad and Go. The use will include the intake of foods such as lettuce, cleaning/washing food items, and packaging the products for shipping. Salad and Go will lease approximately 114,000 square feet of the 151,776 square-foot building, including some second floor space; the remainder of the building will continue to be leased by an existing tenant. 2. The proposal complies with the parking requirements per the Garland Development Code. 3. No building expansion is proposed; therefore, screening and landscaping requirements are not triggered by this request. 4. The applicant requests a Specific Use Provision time period of twenty (20) years, which aligns with the SUP Time Period Guide.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Envision Garland Plan designates the subject property as Industry Center, which provide a cluster of trade and industry that cumulatively employ large numbers of people. Operations within this development type may require substantial infrastructure and may result in more significant negative impacts (sound, air, traffic, outdoor lighting, storage, etc.). Operations may include such elements as semi-truck traffic, loading docks, and visible outdoor storage. Overall, the architecture, character, scale, and intensity should be compatible with adjacent development types. Industry Centers are generally located along major arterial streets, and highways and at significant transit areas (bus/ rail). Site design addresses function and visual aesthetics that provide appropriate buffering at gateway corridors, between adjacent developments, and for residential neighborhoods. Industry Centers range in scale and intensity based on the surrounding vicinity and may consist of one or more buildings. This development type includes a variety of primary and secondary uses that support the industry employment sector. This proposal contributes to the industry employment sector and is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan.
COMPATIBILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES
The area surrounding the subject property includes industrial and commercial uses. The remainder of the property to the east is zoned Industrial (IN) District and includes a large-scale light-industrial/distribution facility. East of that property is an automobile sales dealership. To the north are additional industrial uses, zoned Industrial (IN) District. To the south/southeast, across McCree Road, is a future U-Haul automotive repair facility and a future self-storage facility, zoned PD 19-27. To the west are additional automobile sales dealerships, zoned PD 03-54 and PD 01-26.

PLANNING REPORT


City Council Regular Session Agenda		Agenda Item 8.k.
Meeting Date:	10/11/2022
Item Title:	GDC Amendments Related to Multi-Family Standards and Covered Parking
Submitted By:	Will Guerin, Planning Director

REQUEST
Consider amending Section 4.24, “Multifamily Developments,” of Chapter 4, “Site Development,” the Land Use Matrix, and Table 7-1, “Downtown District Land use Matrix” of chapter 7 of the Garland Development Code of the City of Garland, Texas; and amending Table 2-4 of Section 2.34 and Section 2.39 of Chapter 2, “Zoning Regulations,” and the Chapter 2 Land Use Matrix, of the Garland Development Code of the City of Garland, Texas.
PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
During their September 12, 2022 meeting, the Plan Commission, with an eight (8) to zero (0) vote, recommended approval to amend Section 4.24, “Multifamily Developments,” of Chapter 4, “Site Development,” the Land Use Matrix, and Table 7-1, “Downtown District Land use Matrix” of chapter 7 of the Garland Development Code of the City of Garland, Texas; and amending Table 2-4 of Section 2.34 and Section 2.39 of Chapter 2, “Zoning Regulations,” and the Chapter 2 Land Use Matrix, of the Garland Development Code of the City of Garland, Texas. In addition, while not part of the Commission's formal recommendation motion, the Commissioners had a discussion during the pre-meeting which included the following notes: A suggestion was made to reduce the covered parking requirement to a middle-ground such as 25%. A question was asked if eliminating covered parking requirements affects the quality of multi-family developments. A question was raised whether it would be better to allow developers to continue to request deviations through the PD process rather than exempt specific requirements. A suggestion was made to require some of the covered parking through tree canopy shading. For the MF-0 amendment, confirmation that building elevations must be varied per single-family standards. A question was asked about bedroom to bathroom proportionality for single-family and two-family dwellings. For MF-0, consider a maximum of three (3) or four (4) units per building.
BACKGROUND
The Development Services Committee of the City Council has made additional recommendations to amend the Garland Development Code (GDC) regarding multi-family development requirements. The Committee proposes to add an “MF-0” District, which would allow and regulate a “horizontal multi-family”, or oftentimes called “single-family style rental”, development. An additional recommendation from the Committee is to remove covered parking requirements for all multi-family development. Covered parking requirements often trigger deviations from developers, whether to reduce the amount of required covered parking, or to reduce setback requirements as a result of providing the required amount of covered parking. The City Council was briefed by a Development Services Committee report during the August 15, 2022 City Council Work Session. The Plan Commission reviewed the proposal on September 12, 2022. The proposed GDC amendments are further described in the Considerations below.
CONSIDERATIONS
MF-0 District 1. Similar to a recent GDC amendment approved by City Council creating an “MF-2” District which allows a higher density and building heights for multi-family development, the proposal is to create a Multi-Family-0 [“MF-0”] District which would allow the trending single-family rental, or “horizontal multi-family”, style of development by right should a zoning request to MF-0 be approved. The MF-0 District is intended for multiple dwelling units, developed in a single-family style, but not on individually platted lots. An example of an approved project in Garland is the ParcHaus development [Z 21-62] recently approved near Firewheel Parkway and Castle Drive. 2. As drafted the MF-0 District would allow a maximum density of twelve (12) units per acre. Development under MF-0 would follow multi-family standards for amenities, parking, and screening from single-family residences. However, it would follow single-family standards for building design and perimeter roadway screening. The Committee further recommended eliminating a roof pitch requirement for this style of development; that buildings shall be placed a minimum of ten (10) feet apart, versus the multi-family standard of twenty (20) feet; and there shall be one (1) attached enclosed garage parking space per unit. Covered Parking 3. With the exception of the abovementioned requirement proposal for MF-0 developments, the Committee has also recommended the elimination of a general covered parking requirement for multi-family developments. Covered parking includes carports and garages. As a result of this elimination, developers would propose the desired amount of covered parking for their residents rather than responding to a City requirement. 4. The draft ordinance language is attached for the Council's review and consideration.
