Item Title:	Rosehill Road Streetscape
Submitted By:	Michael Polocek, Engineering Director
Bid Number:	0834-21

Purchase Justification:

This request is to approve a Change Order for the Rosehill Road Streetscape construction project. The project was delayed due to the construction of the intersection at Bobtown and Rosehill Roads which experienced delays due to unknown conflicts with utilities and subsequent traffic phasing. The Bobtown Road construction issues would have directly conflicted with construction and traffic sequencing of the Rosehill Streetscape project. During the delay, prices escalated much higher than expected due to supply shortages and high fuel prices. The Rosehill Road Streetscape project is part of the Target Investment Area (TIA) in the I.H. 30 Catalyst Area Plan adopted by Council in July 2017. The City programmed additional CIP funds to construct the improvement for the entire project. This Change Order will be programmed as part of the 2023 CIP and reflected on the 2023 CIP sheet for the Rosehill Road Streetscape project.

Item Title:	The Flood-Prone Property Buyout Program Ordinance
Submitted By:	Michael Polocek, Engineering Director

Summary of Request/Problem
The City established a flood-prone properties fund through the 2019 Bond Program. This fund was created to purchase frequently flooding properties located in the floodplain, restore those properties to their natural flood functions, and promote the health, safety, and welfare of the residents. The proposed amendments to Chapter 31, Article VII Flood Damage Prevention, will include revisions to Section 31.100 and the addition of new Section 31.108 Voluntary Flood-Prone Property Buyout. The attached ordinance incorporates the following changes to Section 31.100 and the addition of Section 31.108 of the Code of Ordinances: Section 31.100 (D) (6) Purchasing flood-prone residential properties through a voluntary acquisition process initiated by the property owner. The property shall be dedicated to the City and maintained by the City in perpetuity as open space for the conservation of natural floodplain functions unless otherwise approved by the Director of Engineering. Section 31.108 Voluntary flood-prone property buyout (A) The Director of Engineering is authorized to solicit applications from potential property owners whose residential property is susceptible to flooding. For the purpose of this ordinance, a residential property shall be defined as a single-family, single-family attached or duplex. (B) The Director of Engineering is authorized to negotiate and execute all documents and instruments necessary to acquire the highest prioritized property applications with the purchases being approved by City Council. (C) Acquired properties shall be dedicated to the City and maintained by the City in perpetuity as open space for the conservation of natural floodplain functions unless otherwise directed or approved by the Director of Engineering. (D) The buyout shall be in accordance with the current Engineering Department’s Flood-Prone Property Buyout Program Guidelines.” This item was considered by Council at the November 14, 2022 Work Session.
Recommendation/Action Requested and Justification

Item Title:	Use of Eminent Domain Authority for Water Loop along President George Bush Turnpike
Submitted By:	Laura Dunn, Capital Project Management Director

Summary of Request/Problem
As part of the 2020 Water Master Plan, the need to complete a water loop along the north side of President George Bush Turnpike was identified. Completing the water loop is necessary to provide adequate water pressure and volume along the 190 Corridor. Additionally, as part of the 2019 Bond Program, voters approved Proposition B, which includes the relocation of Fire Station No. 6. The water loop will service Fire Station No. 6 upon completion as well as other future development along the corridor. Since the City does not already own all the property upon which the project will be constructed, the City has engaged in efforts to acquire the necessary property rights. The City has not successfully negotiated a final purchase price with one property owner and is seeking authorization to initiate condemnation. Council was briefed on the project in Executive Session on November 14, 2022.
Recommendation/Action Requested and Justification
Council is requested to approve a resolution authorizing the acquisition of the property rights described in the proposed resolution. The City has not been able to successfully negotiate a final purchase price with one property owner to acquire the necessary property interests. The owner is named in the proposed resolution. State law requires particular wording to be used in a motion to adopt a resolution authorizing the initiation of condemnation proceedings. The City Attorney will provide in written form the appropriate wording of the motion. The motion and resolution will authorize the acquisition of property interests in the following property located in the City of Garland, Dallas County, Texas: 1505 Ferris Road, Garland, Texas – a Utility Easement consisting of 0.024 portion of a tract of land, situated in the Paschal H. Rice Survey, Abstract No. 1241, in the City of Garland, Dallas County, Texas, and being part of that called 20.1655 acre tract, described in Special Warranty Deed to FE Concepts, LLC, as recorded under Instrument No. 201800106024, of the Official Public Records, Dallas County, Texas (O.P.R.D.C.T.).

REQUEST
Approval of an Amendment to Planned Development (PD) District 17-18 for Community Retail Uses. Approval of a Detail Plan for a Medical and Dental Office/Clinic Use. LOCATION 3318 West Buckingham Road
OWNER
SRRAF, LLC
PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On October 24, 2022 the Plan Commission, by a vote of eight (8) to zero (0), recommended approval of an Amendment to Planned Development (PD) District 17-18 for Community Retail Uses. The Plan Commission, by a vote of eight (8) to zero (0), also recommended approval of a Detail Plan for a Medical and Dental Office/Clinic Use.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approval of an Amendment to Planned Development (PD) District 17-18 for Community Retail Uses. Approval of a Detail Plan for a Medical and Dental Office/Clinic Use.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is 1.86 acres and is currently unimproved. The applicant proposes a medical clinic with ambulance service.
USE OF PROPERTY UNDER CURRENT ZONING
The subject property is zoned Planned Development (PD) District 17-18 for Community Retail Uses. The site was approved for a grocery store, which was never constructed. The applicant requests to rezone 1.86 acres of the total 10.2 acres initially approved for a grocery store for a medical office/clinic use.
CONSIDERATIONS
Site Plan: 1. The applicant proposes to construct an 11,570 square-foot medical clinic building with ambulance service. Per the applicant’s narrative, the medical facility would be a twenty-four (24)-hour out-patient service offering with ten (10) exam rooms and one triage room. The facility would offer radiological services including CT scan and radiography, as well as a lab. The number of staff on-site at any one time would be four (4) to eight (8) depending on time of day and shifts. There would be no overnight stays, surgeries or dietary / cafeteria offerings. The ambulance component is largely used by outgoing ambulances that would transport patients to the local full-service hospital. Ambulances arriving to the property with patients would be limited to a few instances per week according to the applicant. 2. The site plan (Exhibit C) shows that forty-seven (47) parking spaces are required and the site complies with the parking requirements. 3. The landscape plan (Exhibit D) complies with the screening and landscaping standards per the GDC. 4. The design of the building (Exhibit E) complies with the building design standards per the GDC. 5. No deviations have been requested regarding the 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. The proposed use contributes and is supportive to the surrounding area by expanding medical services for the community.
COMPATIBILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES
The properties directly to the north, across West Buckingham Road, are zoned Community Retail (CR) District; these properties are developed with a car wash and a learning center. The land to the east and south are zoned Planned Development (PD) District 17-18 for Community Retail Uses; it is currently vacant. The property to the west is zoned Planned Development (PD) District 21-20 for Community Retail Uses; this property is developed with a tea shop that includes a drive-through.

Item Title:	Z 22-54 Luis Fernando Gutierrez - Zoning (District 5)
Submitted By:	Josue De La Vega, Sr. Development Planner

REQUEST
Approval of a Change of Zoning from Single-Family-7 (SF-7) District to a Planned Development (PD) District for Neighborhood Services Uses. LOCATION 820 West Miller Road
OWNER
Iglesia de Dios Rayo de Luz
PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
During the October 10, 2022 meeting, the Plan Commission, with a vote of eight (8) to zero (0), recommended denial of a Change of Zoning from Single-Family-7 (SF-7) District to Community Retail (CR) District. Additionally, the Plan Commission, by a vote of eight (8) to zero (0), recommended approval of a Change of Zoning from Single-Family-7 (SF-7) District to Neighborhood Services (NS) District.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approval of a Change of Zoning from Single-Family-7 (SF-7) District to a Planned Development (PD) District for Neighborhood Services Uses.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is currently developed as a church complex, with a main building, an accessory activities building and a storage shed. The applicant makes the above request with the purpose of making the property more marketable; however, according to the applicant, at this point in time the property is not on the market. Furthermore, the applicant has also indicated there are no prospective parties interested on the property nor any proposed plans for redevelopment, improvements or expansions at this time. Meanwhile the subject property will continue to function as a church.
SITE DATA
The subject property consists of approximately 1.1 acres. The site has approximately 165 linear feet of frontage along West Miller Road.
USE OF PROPERTY UNDER CURRENT ZONING
The Single-Family Residential districts are intended to provide for development of primarily low-density detached, single-family residences on a variety of lot sizes, churches, schools, and public parks in logical, livable, and sustainable neighborhoods.
CONSIDERATIONS
Following the recommendations of the Plan Commission, the applicant revised the request to a Change of Zoning to a Planned Development (PD) based on the Neighborhood Services (NS) District with these additional land uses allowed as follows: Convenience Store (1,000s.f.–5,000s.f.) would be allowed by right; currently allowed only with an SUP in the Neighborhood Services (NS) District. Laundry, Self-Serve (Laundromat) would be allowed by right; currently allowed only with an SUP in the Neighborhood Services (NS) District. Mobile Food Truck Park would be allowed only with an SUP; currently prohibited in the Neighborhood Services (NS) District. Restaurant would be allowed by right; currently allowed only with an SUP in the Neighborhood Services (NS) District. The proposed Planned Development (PD) District would accommodate a limited range of small-scale retail and personal service activities that are supportive and desirable in proximity to residential neighborhoods. As a Planned Development (PD) based on the Neighborhood Services (NS) District, applicable regulations and development standards set forth by the Garland Development Code (GDC) are designed to ensure compatibility with the residential environment, minimizing the generation of additional noise, traffic, odor, fumes, or other objectionable conditions. As a Planned Development (PD) based on the Neighborhood Services (NS) District, any future redevelopment, expansions and/or change in land use on the subject property may trigger the site to partially or fully comply with applicable zoning standards (e.g. setbacks, building height) and development standards (e.g. parking, screening/landscaping, building design standards) of the Garland Development Code (GDC). In addition to the land uses listed under Consideration No. 1, all allowed uses (whether by right or by SUP) in the proposed Planned Development (PD) District can be found in the Land Use Matrix under the Neighborhood Services (NS) District, Article 5 of Chapter 2 of the Garland Development Code (GDC). It should be noted that the current land use, Church or Place of Worship, is permitted by right in all zoning districts.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Envision Garland Plan recommends Traditional Neighborhoods for the subject property. Traditional neighborhoods are currently found throughout Garland and provide areas for low to moderate density single-family detached residential housing. Traditional neighborhoods also accommodate convenience retail (goods and services), office space, and public services. Non-residential structures are compatible in architectural style and scale with adjacent residential development. Non-residential uses are typically located at the intersection of local streets or at local and secondary arterial streets. Non-residential uses are within walking distance of the neighborhoods they serve and include minimal on-site parking. This proposal offers an opportunity on a tract oriented towards West Miller Road for a supportive commercial or retail use to the surrounding area, including the park and nearby residences. Furthermore, any traffic generated by non-residential uses would be focused onto West Miller Road, a four-lane divided (collector) road, and it would not increase traffic through residential areas.
COMPATIBILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES
The properties to the east are zoned Single-Family (SF-7) and Multifamily (MF) Districts; these properties are developed with single-family homes, an apartment complex and a church complex. The property to the south and west is zoned Single-Family (SF-7) District and is the site of Rick Oden Park. The properties to the north, across West Miller Road, are zoned Planned Development (PD) District 82-94 for Community Retail Uses and Single-Family (SF-7) District. These properties are developed with single-family homes, a shopping center, a gas station and an auto repair shop. It should be noted that at various locations in Garland, either Neighborhood Services (NS) Districts or Planned Development (PD) District for Neighborhood Services Uses are found adjacent to Single-Family (SF-7) Districts; for example, near North Shiloh Road and Apollo Road and near Arapaho Road and North Garland Avenue.

REQUEST
Approval of a Specific Use Provision for an Antenna, Commercial Use. Approval of a Plan for an Antenna, Commercial Use on a property zoned Agricultural (AG) District. LOCATION 5200 Bobtown Road
OWNER
GTP Acquisition Partners, LLC.
PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On October 10, 2022 the Plan Commission, by a vote of eight (8) to zero (0), recommended approval of a Specific Use Provision for an Antenna, Commercial Use. The Plan Commission, by a vote of eight (8) to zero (0), also recommended approval of a Plan for an Antenna, Commercial Use on a property zoned Agricultural (AG) District. In addition, the Plan Commission has recommended the SUP time period to be valid for thirty (30) years. The applicant has agreed to thirty (30) years.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approval of a Specific Use Provision for an Antenna, Commercial Use. Approval of a Plan for an Antenna, Commercial Use on a property zoned Agricultural (AG) District.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is currently improved with a 100-foot monopole tower. The previous Specific Use Provision was approved in 1992 and has expired. The applicant requests to renew the SUP without any modifications to the existing tower.
SITE DATA
The overall subject property consists of approximately 4.97 acres and the lease area is 0.20 acres. The site has no street frontage but can be accessed from Bobtown Road through the residential subdivision to the east.
USE OF PROPERTY UNDER CURRENT ZONING
The subject property is zoned Agricultural (AG) District. The Agricultural district is intended for vacant land which is not yet ready for development, land which is used for agricultural or open space purposes, land which due to its topography or location within a floodplain or other undevelopable area is not anticipated to be developed for more intense use, and land which has been newly annexed into the City of Garland. Land that has been newly annexed into the City is initially zoned Agricultural until it is zoned another more permanent zoning classification in the future. Single-family uses on large lots are appropriate in this district. In addition, an SUP was approved for twenty (20) years in 1992 (S 92-18) for the existing monopole tower.
CONSIDERATIONS
1. Site Plan The site plan (Exhibit C) shows an existing 100-foot monopole tower. In addition, an existing 399-foot guyed tower is within the lease area. It should be noted that the guyed tower was not part of the SUP request in 1992 and was approved separately. There are no site improvements proposed at this time. The GDC requires approval of a Specific Use Provision for Antenna, Commercial uses in residential districts. Therefore, the applicant requests to renew the SUP to keep the monopole tower. The existing monopole tower is necessary because it provides critical infrastructure for AT&T wireless continuing service to the surrounding area. Further, the 100-foot monopole telecommunications tower provides additional space for future carriers thereby eliminating the need for another tower. 2. Screening and Landscaping There are no improvements proposed at this time; therefore, no landscaping is required. There is an existing six (6)-foot chain-link fence around the lease area. 3. Specific Use Provision The applicant requests the Specific Use Provision to be valid for thirty (30) years as recommended by Plan Commission.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Envision Garland Plan designates the subject property as Traditional Neighborhoods. Traditional neighborhoods are currently found throughout Garland and provide areas for low to moderate density single-family detached residential housing. Traditional neighborhoods also accommodate convenience retail (goods and services), office space, and public services. This is a supportive use to the surrounding area.

The properties to the west are zoned Planned Development (PD) District 85-107 for single-family uses; these properties are developed with single-family homes.
