AND THE FIRST ITEM UP. OUR FIRST ZONING CASE ACTUALLY HAS TWO PARTS. ITEM NINE. A
[Items 9A & 9B]
CONSIDER HIS OWN YOUR REQUEST BY MASTER PLAN TO CONSTRUCT 26 MULTI FAMILY UNITS IN A TOWN HOME STYLE OR TOWNHOUSE STYLE CONFIGURATION AS PART OF PHASE THREE OF THE DRAPER REDEVELOPMENT. THIS SITE IS LOCATED AT 1, 10, 1, 17 AND 1 19 GARFIELD STREET. AND 1 21 GRANT STREET IN DISTRICT DATE. IT ALSO HAS NINE B, WHICH IS TO CONSIDER A DETAILED PLAN. SAME APPLICANT . SAME ADDRESS. MR CAN THANK YOU, MAYOR. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL . THIS IS THE NEXT PHASE OF THE DRAPER REDEVELOPMENT AND CONSISTS OF 26 MULTI FAMILY UNITS CONFIGURED AND KIND OF A TON TOWNHOUSE STYLE. THE SUBJECT SITE OVERALL IS ALONG GARFIELD STREET AND A PORTION OF GRANT STREET. I'LL PULL UP A MAP HERE IN A FEW SLIDES, BUT THE ACREAGE OF THE OVERALL UM, SIDE IS ACTUALLY THREE DIFFERENT PROPERTIES, WHICH I'LL SHOW HERE IN A MINUTE. BUT THE TOTAL ACREAGE IS 1.477 ACRES. AND THE ZONING CONSISTS OF, UH, TWO FAMILY, WHICH IS DUPLEXES OWNING AS WELL AS COMMUNITY RETAIL DISTRICT. AND THE REQUEST WOULD BE TO REZONE TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT TO ALLOW THIS DEVELOPMENT. HERE'S THE GENERAL LOCATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY JUST WEST OF DOWNTOWN GARLAND. AND THIS ILLUSTRATES THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AGAIN. IT IS ACTUALLY THREE LOTS . UM, THE MAIN UM, THE MAIN PORTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT. THE MAJORITY OF THE UNITS WILL GO IN THIS KIND OF CENTRAL LONG LOT HERE THAT ZONE COMMUNITY RETAIL . IT'S ALONG THE EASTERN SIDE OF GARFIELD, JUST WEST OF STATE STREET. THAT'S CURRENTLY A KIND OF DRIVE THROUGH A T. M THERE'S A STRUCTURE THERE AS PART OF THE CHASE BANK THAT WILL, OF COURSE, BE DEMOLISHED TO MAKE WAY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT. AND THIS, UH, WESTERN PROPERTY OVER HERE THAT WILL BE JUST ONE BUILDING CONTAINING TWO UNITS AND THEN THIS PORTION OVER HERE, THERE'S A SMALL LOT JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF AN ALLEY. THERE'S AN CURRENTLY UNPAVED ALLEY SEPARATING THE TWO THAT WILL BE FOR THE OUTDOOR AMENITY LEISURE AREA FOR THESE RESIDENTS. HMM SO AGAIN, IT'S KIND OF A COMBINATION OF COMMUNITY RETAIL AND DUPLEX ZONING AND ALSO POINT OUT THE PHASES ONE AND TWO OF THE DRAPER DEVELOPMENT ARE ON THIS PROPERTY HERE. THAT ZONE PD 20-29 IS NOTED ON THE MAP. SO JUST KIND OF RIGHT ACROSS WILSON STREET. THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN CALLS THIS AREA OUT AS URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS AND WE FIND THIS STYLE OF DEVELOPMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH THAT DESIGNATION . IT'S A LITTLE BIT LOWER DENSITY STYLE OF MULTI FAMILY, BUT IT'S MORE OF KIND OF AN URBAN STYLE OF TOWNHOUSES AGAIN KIND OF A TOWNHOUSE STYLE OF MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT. HERE'S SOME PHOTOS OF THE AREA. THIS TOP LEFT HAND. PHOTO HERE SHOWS THE CENTRAL LOT WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THE UNITS WILL GO. YOU CAN SEE THE BANK STRUCTURE BACK THERE BEHIND THOSE TREES THAT'S LOOKING FROM GARFIELD STREET. THE TOP RIGHT HAND PHOTO IS LOOKING AT THE THAT KIND OF WESTERN LOT WE LOOKED AT THAT WILL HAVE THE TWO UNITS ON IT. THIS LOWER LEFT HAND PHOTO IS OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF TREES ON IT CURRENTLY, BUT THAT'S WHERE THE AMENITY AREA WILL GO KIND OF THAT EASTERN LOT OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. AND THEN THAT'S JUST A VIEW LOOKING NORTH ACROSS STATE STREET ACROSS THE RAILROAD TOWARDS THE KROGER SHOPPING CENTER. I JUST WANTED TO SHOW THIS. THIS THIS RENDERING WAS, UM, DEVELOPED A FEW YEARS AGO WITH THE MAIN KIND OF PHASES ONE[00:10:02]
AND TWO OF THE DRAPER. BUT I SHOW THAT ONE TO ILLUSTRATE WHAT THE OVERALL VISION IS, BUT THAT INCLUDING THE THIS PHASE THREE IF YOU KIND OF LOOK IN THE BACKGROUND THERE, THESE SORT OF TOWNHOUSE STYLE UNITS WERE CONTEMPLATED IN THE ORIGINAL VISION. YOU CAN SEE BACK THERE.THAT'S THAT'S GARFIELD STREET, SO JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT. AND HERE'S THE PROGRAM PROPOSED SITE PLAN. THERE WILL BE SEVEN BUILDINGS OVER ALL. THIS IS THAT CENTRAL LOT HERE.
GARFIELD STREET IS RIGHT HERE. SO THE MAJORITY OF THE UNITS WILL, OF COURSE BE IN THESE SIX BUILDINGS. THEY HAVE FOUR UNITS EACH AND THEN THE TWO UNITS WILL BE IN THIS BUILDING OVER HERE.
VISIT THE MINUTE ERA AREA OVER HERE. AND ACTUALLY PULL UP THE LANDSCAPE PLAN, WHICH SHOWS A LITTLE BIT BETTER, BUT THE UNITS THAT ARE CLOSEST TO GARFIELD STREET IN THE CENTRAL LOT WILL HAVE WALKWAYS AND WE'LL KIND OF INTERFACE WITH GARFIELD STREET DIRECTLY, WHEREAS THE OTHER THREE UNITS IN EACH OF THESE BUILDINGS WILL HAVE THEIR PEDESTRIAN ENTRANCES. WHERE YOU KIND OF SEE THESE CLUSTER OF TREES HERE AND HERE AND THEN THESE WILL ACTUALLY INTERFACE ONTO, UM WILSON STREET. THOSE UNITS THERE AND THEN THESE ON THE STATE STREET, THIS NORTHERNMOST BUILDING, UM AND THEN THERE WILL BE VEHICULAR ACCESS. UM, AND THESE LITTLE KIND OF PRIVATE ALLEYS OR DRIVEWAYS. IF YOU WILL. EACH UNIT WILL HAVE A TWO CAR GARAGE.
UM AND EACH TOWNHOUSE STYLE UNIT WILL BE TWO BEDROOMS AND IT MEETS THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS AT THE GDC. EVERY UNIT WILL HAVE A TWO CAR GARAGE. PLUS THERE WILL BE SOME ON STREET PARKING PROVIDED AS WELL. SIX SPACES. I BELIEVE ALONG GIRLS GARFIELD STREET. AND AGAIN, THIS IS THE LITTLE OUTDOOR AMENITY LEISURE AREA WITH A UM, CANOPY AND SOME OUTDOOR SEATING AND THE APPLICANT YOU CAN SEE SOME TREE PLANTINGS THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING SOME STREET TREES ALONG GARFIELD HERE AND, OF COURSE, A SIDEWALK, BUT THE APPLICANT INTENDS TO PRESERVE SOME EXISTING TREES TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE, INCLUDING IN THIS AMENITY AREA.
AND HERE, THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS SHOWING THIS IS ACTUALLY SHOWING THE GARAGE KIND OF HOW THE GARAGES WILL LOOK. ON THIS TOP HAND ELEVATION AND THEN ON THE BOTTOM HOW THE KIND OF FRONT OF THE TOWNHOUSE UNITS WILL LOOK. AND THAT THAT WAS KIND OF SHOWING THE FOUR UNIT BUILDINGS AND THEN THIS IS THE TWO UNIT BUILDING HERE. AND THEN HERE'S A MORE OF A THREE D SERVE SOME THREE D RENDERINGS OF THE ELEVATIONS HERE, WHICH KIND OF PAINT A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
BETTER PICTURE. HOW THESE WILL LOOK. THERE ARE A FEW DEVIATIONS THAT THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING , WHICH IS PRETTY COMMON WITH FOR ONE, OF COURSE, SOME SOME TIGHT CHALLENGES OF THE SITE THE PHYSICAL NATURE OF THE SITE, BUT ALSO JUST WITH THE DIFFERENT STYLE OF DEVELOPMENT. SO IT'S MULTI FAMILY TECHNICALLY, BUT IT'S MORE OF A TOWNHOUSE ALMOST MORE SINGLE FAMILY STYLE OF DEVELOPMENT, SO THAT DOES TYPICALLY TRIGGER DEVIATION, SO I'LL KIND OF SPEAK A LITTLE HIGHER LEVEL IN THESE FIRST TWO BUILDING SETBACKS AND BUILDING PLACEMENT SIMILAR UM, REASONS FOR THESE. THE STANDARD MULTI FAMILIES OWNING REQUIRES A LITTLE BIT WIDER OR LARGER SETBACKS AND DISTANCES BETWEEN BUILDINGS THAT'S CONTEMPLATING A MORE TRADITIONAL MULTI FAMILY STYLE OF DEVELOPMENT. UM, WIDER SETBACKS LARGER DISTANCES BETWEEN LARGER BUILDINGS, WHEREAS THIS IS MORE AGAIN LOWER DENSITY. YOU KIND OF DEVELOP MORE IN A TOWNHOUSE STYLE. SO WHERE YOU TYPICALLY HAVE BUILDINGS A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO ONE ANOTHER AND CLOSER TO THE STREET AS WELL. SIMILAR REASONING FOR THE MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE, DEVIATION AND OVERALL LANDSCAPING. TIGHTNESS OF THE SITE IS ONE REASON THE APPLICANT CITED THAT THE 20 FT. THERE'S A 20 FT STREET EASEMENT REQUIREMENT ALONG STATE STREET, WHICH ACTUALLY BUMPED THEIR MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE UP A LITTLE BIT ABOVE THE 60% ONCE THAT WAS , IN EFFECT, SO BUT AGAIN, JUST A DIFFERENT LITTLE BIT STYLE OF DEVELOPMENT. YOU DON'T TYPICALLY HAVE AS MUCH OPEN SPACE IN THE STYLE. OF DEVELOPMENT VERSUS MORE TRADITIONAL MULTI FAMILY. COMPLEX CLUBHOUSE AND SWIMMING POOL. THE THOSE ARE GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ANY MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT. THE APPLICANT IS NOT PROPOSING A CLUBHOUSE AND SWIMMING POOL FOR THESE 26 UNITS. UM, THEY MAKE THE ARGUMENT THAT 26 UNITS ALONE WOULDN'T SUPPORT A CLUBHOUSE AND SWIMMING POOL, HOWEVER. UM KIND OF THE MAIN REASON IS THAT THESE THESE RESIDENTS WILL ACTUALLY SHARE AMENITIES WITH THE REST OF THE DRAPER. THEY WILL HAVE ACCESS AND CAN SHARE THE SWIMMING POOL AND CLUBHOUSE FITNESS ROOM. I BELIEVE THEY'LL HAVE CARD ACCESS TO THOSE AMENITIES. AND IT'S ALSO WORTH POINTING OUT THAT, UM THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL LEISURE AREA REQUIREMENT AND THE GDC ALONG WITH CLUBHOUSE AND SWIMMING POOLS. THE APPLICANT IS MEETING THAT REQUIREMENT. IF THIS WAS GOING TO BE LOOKED AT AS JUST A STAND ALONE DEVELOPMENT. THAT LITTLE LEISURE AREA WE TALKED
[00:15:03]
ABOUT THAT EASTERN LOT. THEY ARE PROVIDING THAT AND THEN FINALLY , THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER DUE TO SOME VARIOUS REASONS. MAINLY THERE'S SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES OF EASEMENTS IN PLAY ALONG STATE STREET AND GARFIELD THAT INEVITABLY SHRUNK THE WIDTH OF THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER AS WELL AS THE LOCATION OF TREE PLANTINGS. THERE'S OVERHEAD ELECTRIC AS WELL, WHICH LIMITED THE ABILITY TO PLANT ALL THE REQUIRED LARGE CANOPY TREES. UM SO THE APPLICANT IS, UM THAT AFFECTED SOME OF THE TREE PLANTINGS AND JUST THE WIDTH OF THE LANDSCAPING. BUT ALL IN ALL, THE SITE IS STILL WELL TREATED AND WELL LANDSCAPED. THE APPLICANT DID PLANT TREES AND PROVIDE LANDSCAPING EVERYWHERE THEY REALLY COULD, WHILE ALSO ALLOWING FOR PROPER AND HEALTHY TREE GROWTH. UM AND AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE APPLICANT IS TRYING TO PRESERVE AS MANY TREES AS POSSIBLE AS WELL. STAFF'S RECOMMENDATIONS, APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST THAT INCLUDES THE ZONING CHANGE AS WELL AS THE DETAILED PLAN. AND THE PLANE COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AS WELL. THAT WAS WITH A 6 TO 0 VOTE DURING THEIR MAY 22ND MEETING. AND MAYOR. WE MAILED OUT 98 NOTIFICATION LETTERS ON THIS CASE, AND WE RECEIVED ONLY TWO RESPONSES. ONE WAS IN FAVOR AND ONE WAS AGAINST AND THOSE WERE BOTH WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION AREA. THANK YOU.VERY GOOD, SIR. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS ITEM CUSTOMER ROD? WELL UM, JUST ONE QUESTION . DO YOU KNOW WHETHER THE OUTDOOR AMENITY WILL BE RESTRICTED FOR THE RESIDENT TO ONLY THE RESIDENTS WILL HAVE SOME SORT OF CARD ACCESS TO IT OR A KEY. TO GET INTO IT. AH THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. MY ASSUMPTION WAS THAT IT WOULD BE, UM, PHYSICALLY OPEN SO ANYONE COULD TECHNICALLY WALK IN AND OUT, BUT I'LL KIND OF DEFER THAT TO THE APPLICANT TO CONFIRM THAT. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WE'RE GOOD ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF. THANK YOU FOR SCARING. SECRETARY DO WE HAVE SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM? I HAVE A SPEAKER CARD, BUT IT IS NOT THE APPLICANT. THEY MAY BE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT THE APPLICANT IS HERE. UM. BEFORE YOU LEAVE. I WILL NEED TO GET A SPEAKER CARD FROM YOU. AND IF YOU COULD GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND YOU'LL HAVE 10 MINUTES. DO YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION? OR YOU JUST WANTING TO ANSWER QUESTIONS? EITHER WAY, YOU HAVE 10 MINUTES.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. AMY MATTHEWS, UM 2210 MAIN STREET, DALLAS, TEXAS, AND I WILL FILL ONE OF THOSE OUT. I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT. ALL RIGHT? NOT NOT THE FIRST TIME STAFF DID SUCH A GREAT JOB. A LOT OF MY STUFF IS JUST GOING TO BE REPETITIONS, SO I'LL GO THROUGH IT PRETTY QUICKLY. BUT UM, THIS AREA YOU CAN SEE OUR PROPERTY IS OUTLINED IN THEIR SUBJECT.
PROPERTIES OUTLINED IN RED GOES . HELLO IS GOING TO BE THE AREA. WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THE DRAPER REDEVELOPMENT, AND I HAVE THE SAME RENDERING SO AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IN THE BOTTOM IS A PICTURE I TOOK WHEN I WAS OUT THERE, UM, TAKING PUTTING UP THE SIGNS. ACTUALLY, THE DAY I PUT OUT THE SIGNS, SO OBVIOUSLY YOU ALL KNOW ABOUT THE DRAPER PROJECT THE YOU KNOW HOW WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE CITY AND I KNOW IT SAYS IT WAS APPROVED IN 2011. I MEANT TO SAY 2021 AND SO THIS IS THE THIRD PHASE. AND HERE IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY SAID. THIS IS GOING TO BE LOOKING, UM SOUTH TOWARDS THE DRAPER PHASES ONE AND TWO AND THIS IS THE OLD CHASE BACON.
THAT'S WHERE THE A T M IS. AND SO BACK TO THE SITE PLAN. WE DISCUSSED THE 26 TOWN HOMES AND THEN IN THE TOP LEFT HAND CORNER IS WHERE THE DUE TO WILL GO, SO THAT WOULD KIND OF BE LIKE A DUPLEX. OBVIOUSLY THESE ARE ALL TWO STORIES AND SO THEY'RE NOT UNDER THE DUPE THROUGH DUPLEXES JUST SOUTH OF THEM. THEY ARE MORE OF LIKE THE RANCH STYLE. YOU KNOW ALL ONE FLOOR. THESE ARE GONNA BE A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPACT, ALL TWO STORIES WITH THAT TWO CAR GARAGE AND THEN ALL THE ONES IN THE MIDDLE WHERE THE CHASE BANK IS GOING TO HAVE FOUR UNITS. AND THE LANDSCAPE PLAN AGAIN. SO UP AT THE TOP RIGHT HERE IN CORNER, THAT LITTLE OPEN SPACE AREA WITH THE SEATING AND ALL THAT WILL BE OPEN TO ANYBODY. SO THAT WON'T BE IN CLOSE, SO IT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE CAN WALK UP TO, AS FAR AS THE AMENDED AT USING THE AMENITIES AT THE DRAPER, THEY CAN EITHER WALK ACROSS THE STREET. AND GO OR THEY COULD DRIVE OVER THERE, AND IT WILL BE KEY ACCESS TO AND THEY'LL BE ABLE TO USE ALL OF THE AMENITIES AT THE AT THE DRAPER. SAME ELEVATIONS YOU SAW SO THESE ARE THE FOUR PLEX IS AND THE TWO AND REALLY THAT UM, ENDS MY PRESENTATION. SO IT WAS SHORT, BUT, UM, I JUST WANTED TO BE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ALSO HAVE SOME OTHER PEOPLE WORKING ON THE PROJECT COULD PROBABLY ANSWER QUESTIONS IF I
[00:20:02]

GET ALL THE WAY TO PHASE THREE. IT'S A IT'S VERY IMPRESSIVE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I THINK IT'S A GREAT I LOVE HAVING THE OPTION TO PUT OUT SOME DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOUSING TYPES , SO I THINK THIS WILL BE REALLY GOOD FOR YOUR CITY COULD FIT. THANK YOU. VERY GOOD. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT. I SEE NONE. IF THERE'S QUESTIONS THAT COME UP, WE WILL HAVE TIME AT THE END TO BRING YOU BACK UP AND ADDRESS THOSE. THANK YOU. WE HAVE ONE SPEAKER MARCUS REED. MR REID, IF YOU CAN COME FORWARD AND GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD SURELY YOU KNOW HOW THIS WORKS, MARCUS? AH! YEAH WE HAVEN'T CHANGED THE RULES IN PROBABLY THREE DECADES OF HOW WE OPERATE HERE. I GOT HIRED OUT IF YOU COULD GIVE US IF HE MARCUS READ, UH. STAY IN DISTRICT SIX AT 11 17 MADE THEIR LAND GARLAND, TEXAS. UM AND MY CONCERN WAS ON. ON GARFIELD THAT 101 AND 103. AH WAS ARRESTED AS A COMMERCIAL AND THAT'S MY BUSINESS. AND MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT YOU CAN GROW AS MUCH AS YOU WANT TO. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT AS MUCH AS I YOU KNOW , GROWING MY BUSINESS THAT IT WOULD INFRINGE UPON ANYTHING THAT I WOULD DO. UH IN THE NEAR FUTURE. I MEAN, I'VE BEEN THERE SINCE 96 97 SO. BUT I LIKE TO TRY TO STAY INFORMED ON WHAT'S GOING ON AND EVERYTHING. AND I KNOW IT'S A TYPO. BUT THEY SAID DISTRICT EIGHT, BUT THAT IS DISTRICT TWO. WELL IT USED TO BE OKAY. THERE'S BEEN SOME RE THERE WAS SOME REDISTRICTING. OKAY WELL, I GOT TO BRING ME UP TO SPEED LINE MOVED A LITTLE BIT.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT, YOU KNOW, I'M I'M CONCERNED ABOUT MY LIVELIHOOD. AND MY, UH ABILITY TO MAKE A LIVING. THAT'S IT. OKAY? WELL FROM WHAT I CAN SEE, I DON'T I DON'T SEE THAT THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO ENCROACH ON YOUR PROPERTY IN ANY WAY AND ONE EFFECTIVE ZONING OF IT, ALL RIGHT. GOOD TO SEE YOU. OH, YOU SEEN THANKS. THANKS. AND YOU DO? YEAH. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? I SEE NONE. COUNCIL MEMBER ODD THIS IS IN YOUR DISTRICT AFTER REDISTRICTING, MR. MAYOR THIS THIS IS A PROUD MOMENT. DISTRICT EIGHT TAKES OVER THE DRAPER. SO YEAH. DISTRICT TWO. YEAH. SO I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO, UH, MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE ITEM NINE A AND NINE B. AS PRESENTED VERY GOOD, AND I HAVE A SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TIM MORRIS. TO APPROVE THE MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER ODD SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TIM MORRIS. TO APPROVE ITEMS. NINE A. N B AS PRESENTED. MADAM SECRETARY. IF YOU COMPARE THE VOTE FOR US, PLEASE. AND DISPLAY THE VOTE. AND THOSE ITEMS ARE APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. NEXT ITEM HAS AND OUR
[Items 9C & 9D]
NEXT ZONING CASE ALSO HAS TWO PARTS. ITEM NINE. C. CONSIDER A ZONING REQUEST BY ROBERTO NUNEZ ALCHEMY DESIGN GROUP TO OPERATE A WAREHOUSE SHOWROOM AND OFFICE IN AN EXISTING BUILDING. THE SITE IS LOCATED AT 1910 PENDLETON DRIVE IN DISTRICT FIVE. IT ALSO HAS NINE D, WHICH IS TO CONSIDER A DETAILED PLAN. SAME APPLICANTS. SAME ADDRESS. THANK YOU, MAYOR. SO THIS IS A REQUEST TO OPERATE A WAREHOUSE SUGARMAN OFFICE IN AN EXISTING BUILDING LONG PENDLETON DRIVE.THE LOCATION IS 1910 PENDLETON DRIVE AND THE ACREAGE OF THE OVERALL SUBJECT. PROPERTY IS 1.84 ACRES. THIS S U P REQUEST WOULD BE LIMITED TO, UM UM UM, JUST A TENANT SPACE WITHIN THE EXISTING BUILDING. THE CURRENT ZONING IS ACTUALLY A PD FROM 1969 69-31. AND HERE'S THE GENERAL LOCATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. NEAR NEAR 6, 35 AND MORE SPECIFICALLY LOCATED HERE.
[00:25:05]
AND OF COURSE, THE OVERALL SIDE IS SUBJECT TO REZONE. BUT THE S U P FOR THE ACTUAL LAND USE WOULD BE LOCATED WITHIN A 6000 SQUARE FOOT TENANT SPACE WITHIN THE OVERALL BUILDING, WHICH IS ABOUT A LITTLE OVER 15,000 SQUARE FEET IN SIZE. UM JUST TO KIND OF SHOW A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT ELSE IS AROUND THERE TO THE NORTH OR KIND OF SIMILAR OFFICE TYPE SOME RETAIL USES IMMEDIATELY TO THE WEST AS A FUNERAL HOME AND THEN TO THE EAST ACROSS PENDLETON DRIVE IS A BOWLING ALLEY AND THEN BEYOND THAT THE GENERAL AREA JUST INCLUDES AN ARRAY OF RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL USES. THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN CALLS THIS AREA OUT AS COMMUNITY CENTERS. AND THE EXISTING BUILDING IS, UM, CONDUCIVE TO THIS PROPOSED LAND USE, AND THE USE IS GENERALLY COMPATIBLE WITH THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN. HOWEVER THERE MAY BE FUTURE REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN THIS GENERAL AREA THAT MORE CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH THE COMMUNITY CENTERS DESIGNATION, AND WE'LL KIND OF TOUCH ON THAT A LITTLE BIT WITH THE APPLICANTS, UM, TIME PERIOD REQUEST AS WELL AS UM, UM, STAFFS AGREEMENT WITH THAT, UM, HERE'S SOME PHOTOS OF THE GENERAL AREA, INCLUDING THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. YOU CAN SEE THE REALLY FRONT OF THE BUILDING THERE. THE APPLICANT WOULD OCCUPY KIND OF THESE TENANT SPACES OVER HERE TOWARDS THE WEST. AND THERE'S JUST OTHER VIEWS OF THE BUILDING EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING. NORTH SIDE AND THE WEST SIDE AS WELL. AND HERE'S A SITE PLAN. THE OFFICE SHOWROOM WAREHOUSE WOULD BE LOCATED AGAIN WITHIN THE 6000 SQUARE FOOT TENANT SPACE HERE WITHIN THE BUILDING. AND A LITTLE ABOUT THE LAND USE WHAT THE APPLICANTS INTENT IS UM THE INTENT IS TO STORE AND SELL REFURBISHED PHONES, WHOLESALE AND ONLINE. THERE'D BE VERY LIMITED, IF ANY, ON SITE RETAIL SALES. IT'S PRIMARILY FOR WHOLESALE AND ONLINE SALES. SO AGAIN, IT KIND OF COMPRISES OF A SHOWROOM KIND OF SMALL RETAIL COMPONENT AND THE WAREHOUSE OFFICE AND WAREHOUSE. SO WITH THIS APPLICATION, NO DEVIATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED BY THE APPLICANT. THE APPLICANT IS ACTUALLY REQUESTING THE S U P TIME PERIOD TO BE VALID FOR FIVE YEARS. THE S U P TIME PERIOD DOES NOT HAVE A PARTICULAR RECOMMENDATION ON TIME PERIOD FOR THIS PARTICULAR LAND USE.AND STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST THAT INCLUDES A CHANGE OF ZONING OUT OF THE PD. 69 31 DIDN'T REALLY TOUCH ON THAT MUCH EARLIER, BUT GIVEN THE AGE OF THE P D. A LOT OF LANGUAGE IN THERE IS NOT ALIGNED. IT'S AMAZING. WE EVEN HAD PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS IN 1969 IS REALLY THAT HAD TO BE LIKE THE FIRST OR SECOND ONE. IT IS ONE OF THE OLDER ONES. YES SIR, AND IT'S RATHER DIFFICULT FOR STAFF TO ADMINISTER, GIVEN SOME ODD LAND. SURE IT DOES NOT. SO IT DOES NOT TRANSLATE IT ALL TO TODAY'S TERMINOLOGY. NO EXACTLY RIGHT, SO GOING THROUGH SOME DIFFICULTIES OF FIGURING OUT WHAT'S ALLOWED AND WHAT'S NOT THE APP. THE REQUEST IS ESSENTIALLY A REZONE FROM THAT PD INDUSTRY. COMMUNITY RETAIL, WHICH ALLOWS THIS USE BY S U P THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THIS S U P OR THIS LAND USED BY S U P. THIS SEEMS TO BE IN LINE WITH SOME OTHER AREAS IN THE PROPERTY THAT RE ZONED OUT OF THESE OLDER PDS FROM THE SIXTIES AND EARLY SEVENTIES AS WELL GOT INTO COMMUNITY RETAIL, WHICH INVOLVES OR KIND OF FURTHER ALIGNS WITH THEM THE APPROPRIATE UH, REALLY APPROPRIATE LAND USE AND ZONING . THERE'S SOME KIND OF CONCERNING LANGUAGE IN THE PD THAT ALLUDES TO INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AGAIN. IT'S VERY CONFUSING TO SORT THROUGH, BUT WE FELT IT WAS BEST TO GET IT OUT OF THAT PD AND SO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS APPROVAL OVER THE REQUEST. STAFF CONCURS WITH THE SHORTER S U P TIME PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS REQUESTED BY THE APPLICANT AS THERE MAY BE FUTURE REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES ALONG THE 6 35 CORRIDOR. AND THE PLANE COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AS WELL. THAT WAS WITH A 6 TO 0 VOTE AND THAT INCLUDES THE FIVE YEAR S U P TIME PERIOD REQUEST AS PRESENTED AND MAYOR.

YES AND HANDLE THE LAST WEEK. I JUST EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THE PREVIOUS CASE IT WOULDN'T AFFECT HIM BECAUSE IT'S JUST THE ZONING FOR THAT SPECIFIC PROBLEM. YOU GO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. HORRIBLE. WELL CAN YOU GET SPEAKER CARD? JUST SO JUST SO WE HAVE SOME FORMALITY TO THIS THAT WE CAN GO BACK TO ALRIGHT, COUNSELOR. LOOK. I MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF ITEMS NINE. C AND D AS PRESENTED. I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER LUCK. THE SECOND BY COUNCILOR DUTTON TO APPROVE ITEMS NINE C AND 90 AS PRESENTED MADAM SECRETARY. IF YOU COMPARE THE VOTE FOR US AND COUNCIL. AND DISPLAY THE VOTE, PLEASE. AND THOSE ITEMS. ITEMS NINE. C AND D ARE APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. THAT BRINGS US TO OUR LAST ZONING CASE. NINE E CONSIDER A CHANGE
[9.e. Consider a Change in Zoning from Agricultural (AG) District to Neighborhood Office (NO) District. The site is located at 1521 and 1613 Rowlett Road in District 3.]
IN ZONING FROM AGRICULTURE DISTRICT NEIGHBORHOOD OFFICE DISTRICT. THE SITE IS LOCATED 15 21 AND 16 13 RALLY AT ROAD IN DISTRICT THREE. THANK YOU, MAYOR. SO THIS IS A STRAIGHT ZONING CHANGE REQUEST FROM AGRICULTURAL TO NEIGHBORHOOD OFFICE DISTRICT. IS THAT SHOWING[00:35:02]
UP ON YOUR SCREENS? YES, SIR. OKAY, GREAT. SO THE LOCATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS 15 21 AND 16 13 RALLY IT RODE. THE ACREAGE OF THE OVERALL PROPERTY IS 1.443 ACRES AND AGAIN, THE CURRENT ZONING IS AGRICULTURAL. HERE'S A GENERAL LOCATION OF THE SUBJECT. PROPERTY PALETTE ROAD.AND SOUTH GARLAND AND. MORE SPECIFICALLY SHOWN HERE AGAIN AT HIS OWN AG, PART OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY INCLUDES AN EXISTING DAYCARE EXISTING BUILDING THAT INCLUDES A DAYCARE USE. THE APPLICANT WHO IS PURCHASING THE PROPERTY. IT HAS NEW OWNERSHIP. THEY INTEND TO KEEP THE DAYCARE OPEN AND CONTINUE IT AS IS THERE'S NO PLANS FOR DEVELOPMENT , REDEVELOPMENT EXPANSIONS OR ANYTHING AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER THE DAYCARE IS CONSIDERED LEGAL NONCONFORMING. IT WAS BUILT A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO. AG ZONING REQUIRES AN S U P FOR DAYCARE. IT DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE AN S U P IT. WE BELIEVE IT WAS BUILT IN THE 19 EIGHTIES, UM, WAS NOT APPEARED NOT TO BE A REQUIREMENT AT THE TIME. UM HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT WISHES TO, UM REZONE IT TO NEIGHBORHOOD OFFICE, WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE DAYCARE USED BY RIGHT AND IT'S PROBABLY WORTH NOTING THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD OFFICE ZONING DISTRICT OF ALL THE NON RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT IS THE LIGHTEST OF ALL THE ZONING DISTRICTS AND IS THE MOST RESTRICTIVE. IN OTHER WORDS, UM, SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT IS ALLOWED BY RIGHT WHICH IS NOT A LOT BUT SOME EXAMPLES, OF COURSE, OUR CHILDCARE CENTER GENERAL OFFICE, MEDICAL OFFICE AND BANKS, FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE THERE IS SOME EXISTING COMMERCIAL ZONING IN THE AREA COMMUNITY RETAIL ZONING EXISTS JUST FURTHER TO THE WEST, AS WELL AS ACROSS RALLY AT ROAD . THERE'S ACTUALLY EXISTING RETAIL SHOPPING CENTER RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. SO THERE'S SOME COMMERCIAL ZONING AND, OF COURSE, COMMUNITY RETAIL IS A MORE INTENSIVE ZONING DISTRICT THAN NEIGHBORHOOD OFFICE. AND OF COURSE, IT WOULD BE ADJACENT TO AN EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD. THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN IDENTIFIES THIS AREA'S TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOODS, WHICH DOES GENERALLY ALIGN WITH SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS AGAIN. THERE IS SOME CURRENT, UM UM, COMMERCIAL ZONING IN THE AREA.
AS I MENTIONED EARLIER NEIGHBORHOOD OFFICE REALLY IS THE MOST RESTRICTIVE AND NOT JUST IN TERMS OF LAND USE BUT HIDE AS WELL. THERE'S ACTUALLY ONE STORY HEIGHT LIMITATION FOR NEIGHBORHOOD OFFICE, WHICH IS THE MOST RESTRICTIVE HEIGHT REQUIREMENT OF OTHER ZONING DISTRICTS THAT FURTHER LIMITS IT TO 16. FT ALLOWS IT TO GO UP TO 20 FT WHEN ACCOUNTING FOR ROOF PITCH AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. UM SO TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE CONFERENCE OF PLANET DOES CONTEMPLATE AND RECOGNIZE THAT SOME NIGHTS AT NINE RESIDENTIAL COMPATIBLE NONRESIDENTIAL USES AND BUILDINGS MAY BE APPROPRIATE.

AND BY THE WAY, WHOEVER SAID THAT WE WERE RICH. I DIDN'T CHECK THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BALANCE SHEET. BUT BACK TO REPARATIONS. WHITE PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO DRAFT THEIR ACCOUNTS DIRECTLY. I MEAN, THE IGNORANCE IS SHOWING. THIS IS NO DIFFERENT. FROM WHAT WE DO. FOR UKRAINE. OR DID THE O D WAS THE LAST TIME THEY PASSED AN AUDIT AND WAS THE LAST TIME YOU PROTEST THAT. BUT KNOWING THAT WE CANNOT DEPEND ON THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM TO EDUCATE ABOUT REAL HISTORY AFTER YOURSELF EDUCATION IF YOU STILL FIND A WAY TO OPPOSE REPARATIONS. IF YOU WERE THAT MAD GO BACK. TO EUROPE, THEN. NOT COUNCILWOMAN, BUT MAYOR PRO TEM. WE SPOKE BRIEFLY ON FACEBOOK. DO YOU HAVE AN UPDATE? IS THAT OFFICER FIRED? WE CAN'T ANSWER QUESTIONS . IT WAS RHETORICAL.
