City Council Regular Session Agenda		Agenda Item 4.
Meeting Date:	12/06/2022
Item Title:	Easement Modification Agreement with Oncor Electric Delivery Company, LLC
Submitted By:	Michael Polocek, Engineering Director

Summary of Request/Problem
In 1926, Texas Power & Light Company (known today as Oncor) acquired an easement across portions of unincorporated Dallas County for an electric distribution line to service surrounding areas. The City of Garland acquired a portion of property, by way of the Shores of Eastern Hills No. 5 plat. The property contains the easement as well as Oncor's existing electric distribution line. The easement verbiage used in the original document does not allow Oncor to upgrade their system to provide adequate service to the surrounding areas that include portions of Garland and Rowlett.

Item Title:	Property Acquisition - 1510 High Meadow Drive from Ivan and Emily De Santiago
Submitted By:	Michael Polocek, Engineering Director

Summary of Request/Problem
Ivan & Emily De Santiago purchased the vacant lot in 2022 with the intent of constructing a home. However, drainage patterns of surrounding lots direct stormwater flow through the middle of this lot, making development unwise, impractical, and increasing flooding risks. The City expressed interest in purchasing the vacant lot due to the impracticality of development and to preserve existing drainage patterns. Through negotiations with Ivan & Emily De Santiago, staff has tentatively agreed to a purchase price of $66,500 pending Council approval. This item was considered by Council at the November 14, 2022 Work Session.
Recommendation/Action Requested and Justification
By Minute Action, authorize the Managing Director of Public Works to execute the Contract of Sale to purchase the vacant lot from Ivan and Emily De Santiago for $66,500.

Meeting Date:	12/06/2022
Item Title:	Z 21-45 Atlantic Urbana Acquisition Company II, LLC - Zoning (District 2)
Submitted By:	Nabiha Ahmed, Lead Development Planner

REQUEST

Approval of a Change in Zoning from Planned Development (PD) District 19-40 for Single-Family Use to a Planned Development (PD) District for Multi-Family-1 (MF-1) Use.

Approval of a Detail Plan for Multi-Family development.

LOCATION
2201 East Miller Road and 2370 East Centerville Road

OWNER

Walnut Park Assembly of God c/o Casa De Me Gloria USA Inc.

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION

On November 7, 2022 the Plan Commission, by a vote of eight (8) to zero (0), recommended approval of a Change in Zoning from Planned Development (PD) District 19-40 for Single-Family Use to a Planned Development (PD) District for Multi-Family-1 (MF-1) Use.

The Plan Commission, by a vote of eight (8) to zero (0), also recommended approval of a Detail Plan for Multi-Family development.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

BACKGROUND

The subject property is currently unimproved. The applicant proposes multi-family rental housing in a single-family format on Lot 1. The type of development on Lot 2 is unknown at this time. However, it will require a new Detail Plan through the Public Hearing process.

A Detail Plan was previously approved for a Church on the subject property, but was never constructed.

It should be noted that while MF-0 standards were recently adopted to accommodate horizontal multi-family developments, this application was submitted well before the creation of these standards and the applicant requests to proceed with MF-1 as a base zoning standard. However, applicable deviation requests are noted below.

SITE DATA

The overall site consists of approximately 38.38 acres with 617 lineal feet of frontage along East Centerville Road and 1,044 lineal feet of frontage along East Miller Road. The site plan (Exhibit C) shows two (2) access points from East Miller Road and one access point from East Centerville Road.

USE OF PROPERTY UNDER CURRENT ZONING

The site is zoned Planned Development (PD) District 19-40 for Single-Family Use. As mentioned above, a Detail Plan was approved for a Church, which was never constructed.

CONSIDERATIONS

1. Development and Site Plan

The site plan (Exhibit C) reflects two (2) lots. Lot 1 is intended for 301 multi-family units in a single-family style layout. Units are either stand alone or in a duplex format with no more than two units attached. Six (6) building unit types have been incorporated into the site plan. The approach to the proposed site plan concentrates around circulation leading to the resident’s experience of this new neighborhood community. A tree-lined boulevard serves as the primary pedestrian and vehicular route through the site. The main entrance is off Miller Road and a secondary entrance off East Centerville Road. Upon entering this gated community from Miller Road the Amenity Center (Clubhouse) and lush landscaping/hardscaping would be prevalent.
If Lot 2 is developed in the future, it is subject to future Detail Plan approval through the public hearing process.

2. Building Separation

The GDC requires all portions of a multi-family dwelling structure must be a minimum of twenty (20) feet from other multi-family dwelling structures. The applicant requests a minimum of ten (10) feet. The proposed layout is single-family/duplex style. Therefore, the required twenty (20)-foot setback will not work for their configuration.

3. Building Setbacks

The GDC requires a side setback of twelve (12) feet when the property is not adjacent to a street. The applicant proposes a minimum of six (6) feet.

4. Parking

The GDC parking requirements are met with this proposal. This development will include carports and detached garages, satisfying the covered parking requirement.

5. Amenities

Clubhouse: Section 2.39 (I) states that a minimum 3,500 square-foot clubhouse must be constructed on site and made available to all residents. The site plan (Exhibit C) notes a 3,500 square-foot clubhouse, which includes a media room, lounge, event room, game room and kitchen.
Swimming Pool: Two swimming pools having a minimum of eight hundred (800) square feet of surface water must be provided for each multi-family development. The applicant proposes one (1) swimming pool with 1,700 square feet of surface water.
Leisure Areas: One leisure area having a minimum area of one thousand square feet, containing at least two (2) pieces of play equipment, or other outdoor amenities (such as, picnic areas with tables, barbeque pits, arbors, or gazebos) must be provided for each multi-family development. The applicant will comply with this requirement by providing a common leisure area, dog park and a playground

6. Dwelling unit/mix
  Minimum dwelling unit size.

Required one-bedroom:      650 square feet
Proposed:                          635 (A-1) and 900 (A-4) square feet
Number of units:                150

Minimum dwelling unit size.

Required two-bedroom:      800 square feet
Proposed:                         1,080 (B-2), 1,167 (B-3) and 1,239 (B-4) square feet
Number of units:                126

Minimum dwelling unit size.

Required three-bedroom:    950 square feet
Proposed:                          1,391 (C-2) square feet
Number of units:                25

7. Screening and Landscaping

The landscape plan (Exhibit D) complies with the applicable landscaping standards per the GDC. A six (6)-foot ornamental fence is proposed along the southern and western perimeter line of Lot 1. The GDC requires a screening wall adjacent to a single-family residential district. The property to the east is zoned Agricultural (AG) District, which allows single-family homes. The applicant requests not to provide any screening wall due to the floodplain.

8. Building Design

This application was submitted prior to the horizontal multi-family standards (MF-0) adopted in the GDC. The building designs from the multi-family standards and single-family standards were applied.

9. Signage

No deviations were requested regarding signage.

10. Transportation

A Traffic Impact Analysis was reviewed by the Transportation Department. Based on the information provided, a second driveway was recommended along East Miller Road. The applicant has provided a second driveway on East Miller Road as reflected on the site plan (Exhibit C).

11. Summary of Deviations

The applicant requests to deviate from Chapter 2 of the GDC. The table below indicated the deviations are as proposed.

Development Standards	Required	Proposed	Analysis
Building Separation	The GDC requires all portions of a multi-family dwelling structure must be a minimum of twenty (20) feet from other multi-family dwelling structures.	The applicant requests a minimum of ten (10) feet.	The proposed layout is single-family/duplex style. Therefore, the required twenty (20)-foot setback will not work for their configuration. It should be noted that the Multi-Family-0 (MF-0) District allows a minimum building separation of ten (10) feet.
Building Setbacks – side setbacks not adjacent to street	12 feet	6 feet	The secondary entry and gate on East Miller Road and East Centerville Road resulted in a six (6)-foot side yard setback not adjacent to a street.
Minimum dwelling unit area for one-bedroom	650 square feet	635 square feet	The proposed minimum dwelling size was designed to meet the needs of a specific market segment.
Screening adjacent to single-family residential district boundary lines	Screening is required.	Not provided	A screening wall is not proposed to the east due to the existing floodplain.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

The Envision Garland Plan designates the subject property as Urban Neighborhoods. 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, greater than twelve (12) dwelling units per acre.

The proposed development is 11.6 dwelling units per acre. The proposal is generally compatible with the Comprehensive Plan and the development style is appropriate for the area.

COMPATIBILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES

The area to the north is zoned Planned Development (PD) District 15-19 for Light Commercial use; the property is developed with a self-storage facility. The property to the east is zoned Agricultural (AG) District; it is currently unimproved. The property to the south, across East Miller Road, is zoned Planned Development (PD) District 14-11; there is a ranch on site and the remaining portion is vacant. However, there is a townhouse application that has been submitted. The property immediately to the west is zoned Community Retail (CR) District and it is currently vacant. The property further to the west, across East Centerville Road, is zoned Planned Development (PD) District 01-17 for Single-Family use and Agricultural (AG) District; these properties are developed with a residential subdivision and a GP&L substation.

REQUEST
Approval of a Specific Use Provision for Automobile Sales, New or Used. Approval of a Plan for Automobile Sales, New or Used on a property zoned Industrial (IN) District. LOCATION 2905 Forest Lane
OWNER
JI Y. Lim
PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On November 7, 2022 the Plan Commission, by a vote of eight (8) to zero (0), recommended approval of a Specific Use Provision for Automobile Sales, New or Used. The Plan Commission, by a vote of eight (8) to zero (0), also recommended approval of a Plan for Automobile Sales, New or Used on a property zoned Industrial (IN) District. However, the Plan Commission recommended that only wholesale automobile sales can occur at the location—no retail automobile sales are permitted. The Commission also recommended to remove the five (5) designated parking spaces for retail automobile sales.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Denial of a Specific Use Provision for Automobile Sales, New or Used. Denial of a Plan for Automobile Sales, New or Used on a property zoned Industrial (IN) District.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is currently developed with an automobile repair facility. The applicant requests to add automobile sales to the existing facility. The GDC requires a Specific Use Provision for an Automobile Sales, New or Used Use in the Industrial (IN) District. Since the Plan Commission meeting, the applicant has emphasized the proposed use is wholesale automobile sale only. The wholesale automobile sales use does not require the five (5) required parking spaces by the State of Texas. Therefore, the applicant has followed Plan Commission’s recommendation and removed the designated parking spaces for automobile sales.
SITE DATA
The subject property consists of approximately 1.09 acres. The site has approximately 388.7 linear feet of frontage along Forest Lane and 194.18 lineal feet of frontage along South International Road. The site can be accessed from Forest Lane and South International 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.
CONSIDERATIONS
1. Site Plan The site plan (Exhibit C) reflects two existing buildings which are 2,422 square feet and 8,078 square feet for the automobile repair use. The applicant is not proposing any site improvements at this time. The request is to add wholesale automobile sales use. 2. Parking The site plan (Exhibit C) meets the GDC parking requirement for both Automobile Repair Use and Automobile Sales Use. The State of Texas requires a minimum of five (5) parking spaces for retail automobile sales. The “Automobile Sales” label has been removed from the site plan (Exhibit C) per Plan Commission’s recommendation. However, those parking spaces will be used for the automobile repair use. 3. Screening and Landscaping There are no site improvements proposed at this time. Therefore, the request does not trigger any screening and landscaping standards. 4. Building Design There are no new buildings proposed at this time, thereby not triggering the building design standards. 5. Specific Use Provision The applicant requests a Specific Use Provision time period of fifteen (15) years.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Envision Garland Plan designates the subject property as Transit Oriented Centers. Transit-oriented centers are areas of concentrated activity and increased density with maximum access to public transportation options. This type of center should be developed as mixed-use with live/work/play/shop opportunities. Transit-oriented development is characterized by moderate to high density residential greater than twelve dwelling units per acre. Staff finds the proposed use is not compatible with the Comprehensive Plan.
COMPATIBILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES
The properties to the north, across the DART railroad, are zoned Industrial (IN) District; these properties are developed with a computer store. The property to the east, across South International Road, is zoned Industrial (IN) District; these properties are developed with light industrial uses. The property to the south, across Forest Lane, is zoned Industrial (IN) District; this property is developed with a warehouse. The property to the west is also zoned Industrial (IN) District; it is currently vacant.

Meeting Date:	12/06/2022
Item Title:	Z 22-47 Digital Garland Ferris, LP (District 1)
Submitted By:	Nabiha Ahmed, Lead Development Planner

REQUEST
Approval of a Detail Plan for a Data Center on a site zoned Planned Development (PD) District 20-17. LOCATION 805 Holford Road
OWNER
Digital Garland Ferris, LP.
PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On November 7, 2022, the Plan Commission, by a vote of eight (8) to zero (0), recommended approval of a Detail Plan for a Data Center.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approval of a Detail Plan for a Data Center.
BACKGROUND
In 2015, City Council approved a zoning change from Agricultural (AG) District to Planned Development (PD) District 15-20 for Mixed Uses. In 2017, City Council approved an amendment to Planned Development (PD) District 15-20 for Mixed Use to remove the Transition Zone located at the southwest corner of Campbell Road and Lookout Drive and Rezone to Mixed Use-Mixed Residential. In 2020, City Council approved an amendment to Planned Development (PD) District 17-35 for Mixed Use to 1) remove Dwelling, Multi-Family Use and Elder Care Independent Living Use from several character zones; 2) change the character zones of certain properties; and 3) remove the Concept Plan and require Detail Plans through a public hearing. The PD 20-17 Zoning Framework Plan includes five (5) Character Zones, each zone implements specific aspects of the vision for a regional mixed-use destination with significant employment and residential uses. The following districts within the PD are: Employment Mixed Use Zone EMU), Retail Mixed Use Zone (RMU), Mixed Use-Mixed Residential Zone (MU-MR), Mixed Use-Mixed Residential Zone (MU-MR), and Transitional Zone (T). The proposed project is located within the Retail Mixed Use Zone (RMU). The applicant requests approval of an amendment to Planned Development (PD) District 20-17 to allow a Data Center. A Data Center is permitted in the Retail Mixed Use character zone by right; however, a Detail Plan is required through the Public Hearing process.
SITE DATA
The overall site consists of approximately 18.636 acres with approximately 1,087 lineal feet of frontage along Holford Road and 1,248 lineal feet of frontage along Ferris Road. It should be noted that Ferris Road will be abandoned and be replaced with a private driveway; however, the site can be accessed from West Campbell Road and Holford Road.
USE OF PROPERTY UNDER CURRENT ZONING
The subject property is zoned Planned Development (PD) District 20-17 and within the Retail Mixed Use (RMU) character zone. The Retail Mixed Use (RMU) Zone is adjacent to North President George Bush Turnpike with access conducive to destination and regional retail uses. As mentioned above, Data Center is an allowed use in Retail Mixed Use.
CONSIDERATIONS
1. Development and Site Plan The applicant proposes a 178,814 square-foot Data Center, a regional detention pond and a future expansion of 67,228 square feet, which are all part of Phase 1. Per the narrative, “the building will be designed with office space and associated infrastructure spaces and populated with 4 MW of equipment with planning for expansion to 6 MW in the future. The third data hall and associated infrastructure spaces will be master planned for 6 MW but constructed as shell space. The building will be designed to expand to add a fourth data hall and associated infrastructure spaces on land made “pad-ready” as part of this project.” Future phases will require a Detail Plan through the public hearing process. 2. Parking The site plan (Exhibit C) complies with the parking requirements per the GDC. In addition, bicycle parking is required per Planned Development (PD) district 20-17 and the site plan is in compliance. 3. Screening and Landscaping The proposed landscaping conforms to the screening and landscaping requirements per the GDC. The landscape plan (Exhibit D) reflects a ten (10)-foot ornamental metal fence around the perimeter of the property. 4. Building Design The building design complies with the architectural elements and articulation requirements of the GDC and Planned Development (PD) District 20-17. 5. Transportation A Traffic Impact Analysis was not required with this request. The Transportation Department did not have any concerns with the proposed development and it meets technical requirements. It should be noted that the Ferris Road abandonment will be considered by City Council. 6. Signage No deviations were requested regarding signage.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Envision Garland Plan designates the subject property as Business Center. Business centers provide a cluster of business offices and/or low impact industry, including campus-type development, that 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 The proposed use is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan.
COMPATIBILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES
The area the north is zoned Planned Development (PD) District 20-17; this property is currently unimproved. However, this property is intended for future phases for the data center.
