Nov 20, 2023 Plan Commission

SO THIS IS A VETERINARY AND A HUMAN CARE TYPE PLACE.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING THINGS WITH BOTH ANIMALS AND PEOPLE, UM, FOR THE, UH, PROPOSED USE? YEAH.

OR JUST VARIOUS IN THE SHOPPING CENTER.

WELL, YOU, YOU MENTIONED HEALTH AND FITNESS AND, UH, HEALTH AND FITNESS.

GYM IS LEARNING, UH, GYMNASIUM, LIKE FOR WEIGHTLIFTING.

UM, THESE ARE ALL JUST ALLOWING USES TO GO IN VACANT SPACES IN THE SHOPPING CENTER.

IT WOULDN'T ALL BE IN ONE SPOT.

THIS IS NOT A SPECIFIC THING NO.

FOR ONE APPLICANT.

NO, THEY'RE NOT PROPOSING ANY BUSINESSES OR BUILDING OR, OR MOVING IN.

THEY'RE JUST WANTING TO DO THE SUP FOR THE CENTER ITSELF.

[00:05:01]

YES.

THEY, THEY WANT THESE USES TO CURRENTLY, UH, TO BE ABLE TO MOVE IN AS THEY'RE CURRENTLY NOT ALLOWED TO BE ON THE SITE AT ALL, AND THE WHOLE SHOPPING CENTER, ADDING THEM TO WHAT'S AVAILABLE.

TRYING TO EXPAND HIS MARKET SCOPE.

YEAH, IT WAS CONFUSING ME A LITTLE BIT.

I WAS SITTING THERE LOOKING AT THIS AS A RENTAL WITH ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT FEATURES AND I'M LIKE, WAIT A MINUTE, .

UM, AND I DID, UH, PUT A SLIDE UP ON ALL THE USES CURRENTLY ALLOWED.

UM, IF YOU'RE CURIOUS, WITHIN THE CURRENT PD, 94, 35.

COOL.

YOU, YOU HAD MENTIONED TO ME BEFORE THE MEETING THAT THE HEALTH AND FITNESS IS FOR 5,000 SQUARE FEET AND OVER.

WHICH KIND OF PRECLUDES A SMALL PILATES STUDIO AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

IS THERE A CATEGORY WE CAN ADD TO THIS PD TO HELP HIM WITH THAT? UH, YES, SIR.

THERE IS, UH, A FOUR 5,000 SQUARE FEET AND BELOW, I BELIEVE IS THE, UH, STUDIO FITNESS AND, UH, PERFORMING ARTS USE.

AND, UH, THAT IS MORE SPECIFICALLY FOR THINGS LIKE, UH, UH, LIKE AN ORANGE THEORY TYPE, UM, KARATE STUDIO OR, OR JUST A SMALLER, UH, FITNESS CENTER.

THIS MAY, SOMETHING LIKE ADDING THAT IN MAY HELP THIS, UH, SHOPPING CENTER.

MM-HMM.

REPOPULATE.

SO, YES.

AND, UH, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT EARLIER.

YEAH, THANK YOU.

YEAH.

UM, AND I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT, UM, THEY DO REFERENCE EACH OTHER WITHIN THE GARLAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, UM, REFERRING THE OTHER IF IT'S ABOVE OR BELOW 5,000 SQUARE FEET.

SO THEY ARE MORE TIED TOGETHER, UM, THAN JUST BEING SEPARATE USES.

SO AN APPROPRIATE MOTION WOULD BE TO PER, UH, APPROVED PER STAFF RECOMMENDATION AND INCLUDE THE USE OF FITNESS UNDER 5,000 FEET.

JUST A QUESTION FOR COUNSEL.

UM, WOULD, WOULD THE CHAIR'S PROPOSED CHANGE REQUIRE A RE NOTICING REHEARING IF WE'RE ADDING AN ADDITIONAL USE THAT'S PERMITTING AN ADDITIONAL USE THAT'S NOT LISTED IN THE CURRENT NOTICE FOR THE PD? UH, I'M GONNA REFER TO WILL, UM, I, I THINK YOU SHOULD TELL ME THAT I NEED TO CALL SOMEBODY ELSE.

NO, NO, NO.

IT'S ALL I, IT'S A JOKE.

I THINK, UM, JUST A JOKE.

IT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

AND WE, WE CONTEMPLATED THAT AS WELL.

I, I THINK, IN MY OPINION, IF IT HELPS THAT THE USE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ADDING IS A LESS INTENSIVE VERSION OF THE HEALTH AND FITNESS GYM THAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING.

THE APPLICANT'S PROPOSING A HEALTH AND FITNESS GYM, WHICH IN THE BY DEFINITION IS OVER 5,000 SQUARE FEET.

WHAT WE'RE SUGGESTING IS THE, UM, FITNESS STUDIO, WHICH IS UNDER 5,000 SQUARE FEET AND IS ALLOWED BY RIOT AND COMMUNITY RETAIL.

JUST ADDING THAT, SINCE IT'S LESS INTENSIVE, WE FIGURE THAT MAY BE MORE OF A MINOR.

UH, SO WITH THAT INFORMATION, I WOULD SAY NO, IT WOULDN'T REQUIRE FURTHER NOTICE.

LESS INTENSE.

YEAH.

SINCE IT'S LESS INTENSIVE AND RIGHT.

WHAT I'VE ALWAYS BEEN TOLD, PDS KIND OF OPEN UP THE GAMBIT TO DO ALMOST ANYTHING AS LONG AS IT'S LESS INTENSIVE.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

GOOD QUESTION.

AND IT HAS DEVELOPED WITHIN A VARIETY OF USES, INCLUDING SEVERAL DATA CENTERS SHOWN, UH, HERE.

UH, NOTHING ELSE IN THAT ONE THAT I SEE.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

HE'S ABOUT TO SIT DOWN.

TOOK ME A SECOND TO FIND IT.

HERE WE GO.

UM, YEAH.

GOOD EVENING, MR. COMMISSIONER AND MR. CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSIONERS.

UM, THIS IS A PROPOSAL, UM, TO AMEND PD DISTRICT 20 DASH 17, UH, TO EXEMPT DATA CENTERS.

SPECIFICALLY.

THIS IS ONLY REGARDING DATA CENTERS, UM, FROM A DETAILED PLAN PROCESS, UM, JUST IN THE INSTANCES WITHIN THIS PD WHERE DATA CENTERS ARE ALREADY ALLOWED BY WRIGHT AND MEET ALL TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS PER THE GDC AND PD.

SO I'LL GO INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE.

UM, BUT THIS LOCATION IS IN NORTH GARLAND, GENERALLY SOUTH OF THE CITY LIMITS, NEAR THE HOLFORD CAMPBELL ROAD AREA NORTH OF PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH TURNPIKE.

UH, THE APPLICANT FOR THIS CASE IS THE CITY OF GARLAND.

THIS IS CITY INITIATED.

UM, THE ACREAGE OF THE SITE, UH, OR THE OVERALL PD, UM, AS PD 20 DASH 17 CURRENTLY IS ACTUALLY ABOUT 277 ACRES IN SIZE.

UM, IT IS A, UM, MIXED USE, UH, PD, WHICH DOES ALLOW DATA CENTERS IN MOST OF THE AREA BY RIGHT.

AND, UH, REQUIRES A DETAILED PLAN THROUGH THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS.

UM, THIS IS A GENERAL LOCATION OF THE CITY OF CITYWIDE LOCATION MAP SHOWING THIS PD AREA.

AND, UH, MORE SPECIFICALLY, UH, I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF, A LOT HAPPENING ON THIS MAP, BUT IF YOU KIND OF LOOK WITHIN THIS TEAL, UH, BOUNDARY THERE, THOSE ARE THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

[00:10:01]

THIS IS THE NTT FORMERLY KNOWN AS RAGING WIRE, UH, STREAM DATA CENTER.

AND THEN THE, UM, UH, DIGITAL REALTY DATA CENTERS UNDER CONSTRUCTION, UH, MORE IN THIS AREA OVER HERE.

AND THERE'S OF COURSE SOME, BEEN SOME MULTIFAMILY AND SINGLE FAMILY, UM, USES AND A MEDICAL OFFICE AS WELL THAT HAVE DEVELOPED IN THIS AREA.

AND THIS, UH, IS ANOTHER VIEWPOINT OF THE PD SHOWING THE ZONING SUBDISTRICTS WITHIN IT.

UM, PDS ARE ALLOWED BY RIGHT IN THIS PD, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF, UM, THE YELLOW AND ORANGE AREAS HERE, THE TRANSITION AND MIXED RESIDENTIAL.

UH, SO IT WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED RIGHT BY RIGHT THERE, BUT, UH, WOULD BE ELSEWHERE.

UH, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IDENTIFIES THIS AREA AS BUSINESS CENTERS, UM, PDSS, OR EXCUSE ME, D UH, DATA CENTERS, UM, GENERALLY ALIGN WITH THE, UH, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS CENTERS, WHICH, UH, GENERALLY ALIGNS WITH OFFICES CAMPUS, UH, STYLE, UM, UH, NON-RESIDENTIAL TYPE USES PER THE, UH, ADOPTED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN.

DATA CENTERS GENERATE THE MOST REVENUE PER ACRE BY BUILDING TYPE.

AND HERE'S SOME PHOTOS OF THE AREA, INCLUDING SOME USES THAT HAVE DEVELOPED, INCLUDING A MEDICAL OFFICE, SOME SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES.

UH, THIS IS ONE OF THE DATA CENTERS HERE, UM, OF COURSE, MULTIFAMILY, AND THEN A SUBSTATION, UH, ONE OF THE SUBSTATIONS THAT SUPPORTS, UH, THOSE DATA CENTERS.

SO IF THIS IS APPROVED, UM, DATA CENTERS WILL STILL BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT ANY AND ALL NECESSARY PERMITS AND CONSTRUCTION PLANS AND MEET ALL APPLICABLE REGULATIONS OF PLAN DEVELOPMENT 20 DASH 17 AND THE GARLAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

SO THIS AMENDMENT WOULD NOT, UH, REDUCE ANY CODE REQUIREMENTS, UH, IN FOUR DATA CENTERS.

UM, NOR WOULD IT, UM, UH, OPEN THE DOOR FOR OVERSIGHT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

STAFF WOULD STILL REVIEW, UH, THESE PLANS IN FULL.

WHAT THIS SIMPLY DOES IS ELIMINATE A PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS, UH, WHICH CAN OFTEN TAKE FOR DETAILED PLANS, FOUR TO SIX MONTHS, SOMETIMES LONGER, SOMETIMES A LITTLE SHORTER, BUT USUALLY NOT, IT'S USUALLY FOUR TO SIX MONTHS AT LEAST.

UM, AND SO IT WOULD JUST ELIMINATE THAT UPFRONT, UM, UH, ZONING TYPE PROCESS.

AGAIN, ONLY, UH, FOUR DATA CENTERS THAT ARE ALREADY ALLOWED PER ZONING BY RIGHT.

UM, SO THIS IS NOT GETTING RID OF ANY SUP REQUIREMENTS OR ANY CODE REQUIREMENTS, ANY OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE.

UM, IT'S JUST ELIMINATING THAT SPECIFIC PROCESS IN THOSE INSTANCES.

BUT IF, IF THEY DEVIATE FROM ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT FROM THE PD, UM, OR IF THEY'RE PROPOSED IN AN AREA THAT'S NOT ALLOWED BY WRIGHT, THEN THAT WOULD TRIGGER A PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS AND A DETAILED PLAN.

UM, SO THE REALLY, THE, UM, INTENT BEHIND THIS IS A, IS A PURPOSEFUL, KINDA A STRATEGIC PURPOSE OF, UM, FACILITATING AND STREAMLINING THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, UH, FOR DATA CENTERS, WHICH, UH, OF COURSE CLOSELY ALIGN WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN, UM, OF THE CITY.

SO WITH THAT, STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST.

AND, UH, MR. CHAIRMAN, WE MAILED OUT 288 NOTIFICATION LETTERS ON THIS CASE, AND WE RECEIVED ONE IN FAVOR WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION AREA AND FOUR OPPOSED WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION AREA, AND THEN ONE OPPOSED OUTSIDE THE AREA.

SO, THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHTY.

ANY COMMENTS? I, I THINK THE OPPOSITION'S PROBABLY MOSTLY FROM THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND I COMMUNICATED WITH YOU.

UM, I, MY CONCERN WAS THE CHURCH PROPERTY GOING DATA CENTER WITHOUT ANY KIND OF OVERSIGHT, BUT SINCE THAT DATA CENTER'S NOT ALLOWED THERE, THEY WOULD'VE TO COME IN AND ASK FOR A SPECIFIC ZONING CHANGE AND WE COULD REQUIRE DETAILED PLAN FOR THAT ONE.

THAT'S CORRECT.

THE CHURCH PROPERTY, THE FIVE STONE CHURCH PROPERTY DOES NOT, UH, ALLOW DATA CENTER THERE.

YEP.

UH, COMMISSIONER BIN.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.

UH, THANK YOU WILL FOR THE PRESENTATION.

I JUST WANNA CLARIFY, UH, REALLY RELATED TO, TO KIND OF ASSUAGING THE CONCERNS OF THE FOLKS WHO WROTE IN MM-HMM.

SURE.

THAT, THAT THIS ONLY EXEMPTS FROM A, AS AS A CHAIRMAN, THIS ONLY EXEMPTS FROM A DETAILED PLAN, IN OTHER WORDS, THAT'S CORRECT.

THIS IS IN A LOCA, SO THIS IS WHERE THIS IS ALREADY PERMITTED BY.

RIGHT.

IT'S, THEY'RE ALREADY ALLOWED TO HAVE A DATA CENTER.

THE ONLY THING THAT'S DIFFERENT IS, IN OTHER WORDS, THEY CAN ALREADY BUILD THE LOCATION THAT THIS AFFECTS.

THEY CAN ALREADY COME AND BUILD A DATA CENTER, THEREBY, RIGHT.

IT'S JUST THE ONLY THING THEY NEED IS APPROVAL OF A DETAIL PLAN.

I'M USING KIND OF THE TERM DETAIL IN THE DEFINITION .

THAT'S EXACTLY CORRECT.

AND CAN, IF YOU CAN EXPLAIN FOR THE FOLKS WHO MIGHT BE WATCHING AT HOME OR WHATEVER, WHAT A DETAILED PLAN IS.

SO WHAT IS IT THAT'S, THAT'S DIFFERENT? YES, SIR.

SO A, A DETAILED PLAN IS A, UH, ESSENTIALLY A VERY DETAILED SITE PLAN WITH A, UM, THAT ALIGNS, OR EXCUSE ME, THAT IS ACCOMPANIED WITH A ZONING CASE.

TYPICALLY A, A PD, IT'S IN A AREA THAT'S ZONED IN A PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

SO A DETAILED PLAN IS, UM, AND I KNOW

[00:15:01]

SO, BUT IT, IT, IT, THERE'S NO OTHER WAY TO DESCRIBE IT THAN, THAN A VERY DETAILED SITE PLAN USUALLY IS ACCOMPANIED WITH THE LANDSCAPE PLAN BUILDING ELEVATIONS, UM, THAT GOES THROUGH A PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS, THROUGH PLAN, COMMISSION, AND COUNCIL, IN MOST CASES, WITH A DETAILED PLAN, THERE'S UM, EITHER THE ZONING, THE UNDERLYING ZONING, THE LAND USE BEING PROPOSED IS NOT ALLOWED.

SO THERE'S KIND OF A REZONING THAT COMES ALONG WITH THAT, OR IN SOME CASES IF THE USE IS ALREADY ALLOWED OR MAY BE ALLOWED, BUT, UM, PERHAPS THEY'RE REQUESTING SOME VARIANCES, SOME DEVIATIONS FROM THE PD OR THE GARLAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

SO THERE'S USUALLY SOME SORT OF SPECIAL APPROVAL OR CONSIDERATIONS THAT ARE NEEDED BY THE PLAN COMMISSIONING COUNCIL.

UM, AND SO THE, THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DOES HAVE THAT REQUIREMENT, BUT AGAIN, UM, THIS AMENDMENT WOULD JUST SIMPLY EXEMPT THEM FROM THAT PROCESS ONLY IF AND WHEN, UM, THE DATA CENTER IS ALREADY ALLOWED BY WRIGHT, AS YOU SAID, AND, UM, THEY'RE NOT, UM, DEVIATING OR, OR REQUESTING ANY VARIANCES FROM THE PD.

SO, RIGHT.

SO NOBODY WHO THIS, SO THE PUBLIC ISN'T MISSING OUT ON AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY, THIS SHOULDN'T BE BUILT HERE IN THE SENSE OF IT'S ALREADY, IT'S ALREADY ALLOWED BY WRIGHT.

THAT'S CORRECT.

THESE ARE AREAS WHERE IT WOULD ALREADY, THE ZONING ALREADY ALLOWS IT BY WRIGHT.

AND SO REALLY PROCESS-WISE FOR A DATA CENTER, UM, ONCE KIND OF THOSE DETAILS ARE SHORED UP UPFRONT, UM, CONFIRMING THE ZONING AND EVERYTHING, THEY WOULD GO STRAIGHT, UM, TO, UM, SITE AND CONSTRUCTION PERMITTING.

RIGHT.

AND SO DID THEY HAVE TO PRESENT, I MEAN, THEY'RE STILL GONNA HAVE TO PRESENT SOMEBODY A PLAN.

IN TERMS OF LIKE, IT'S NOT SOMETHING WHERE, WHERE THEY JUST SHOW UP AND JUST START BUILDING WILLY NILLY.

I MEAN, THEY HAVE TO, THEY'RE STILL GONNA BE REQUIRED TO MEET REQUIREMENTS AND SO THEY, THEY CAN'T JUST BUILD, SOMEBODY'S GONNA SEE A PLAN, SOMEBODY'S GONNA LOOK AT THIS.

THEY'LL BE, THEY'LL HAVE TO MEET LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS AND ALL THIS OTHER STUFF.

THE ONLY THING WE'RE, WE'RE MISSING, SO TO SPEAK, OR EXEMPTING THEM FROM, IS COMING, YOU KNOW, TO THIS BODY AND TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND BASICALLY SHOWING THE PICTURES AND STUFF OF THAT NATURE.

THAT IS CORRECT.

UN UNLESS THERE'S, BUT IF THEY WANT TO DEVIATE, IF THEY WANT A DRIVEWAY THAT'S NARROWER, IF THEY WANT A LIGHTING THAT'S DIFFERENT HEIGHT, THAT'S DIFFERENT LANDSCAPING THAT'S DIFFERENT, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME THROUGH THE, THROUGH THE PLANNING AND PLANNING COMMISSION PROCESS.

JUST WANNA GET ALL THAT CLEAR.

AND ON THE RECORD, THAT'S A GOOD POINT.

THEY STILL HAVE TO PLAY BY ALL THE RULES.

YES.

AND, AND THE, AND THAT'S DURING THE PERMIT PROCESS GOES THROUGH, THEY WANNA DEVIATE, BOOM, THEY GET TO SEE OUR SMILING FACES.

YEAH, THAT'S CORRECT.

AND IT SAVES 'EM ABOUT SIX MONTHS AND PROBABLY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND PUTTING TOGETHER THE DETAIL PLAN ONLY TO HAVE TO RE REDO IT AGAIN FOR CONSTRUCTION.

SO, AND, AND FOR OUR FOLKS WHO ARE WATCHING AT HOME AND WHO DO HAVE CONCERN, OUR PLANNING STAFF DOES AN ABSOLUTE BANG UP JOB OF MAKING SURE THAT, THAT THINGS ARE FULLY COMPLIED WITH AND THAT ANY DEVIATIONS ARE NOTED AND BROUGHT FORWARD.

SO I DON'T THINK WE'D BE MISSING ANY, I, I CAN VOUCH FOR THAT PERSONALLY.

, THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.

IT STILL GOES THROUGH ALL OTHER TECHNICAL DEPARTMENTS, ENGINEERING, TRANSPORTATION, FIRE, THEY ALL STILL REVIEW IT, UM, PER USUAL.

SO YES, SIR.

MM-HMM.

WELCOME BACK TO THE NOVEMBER 20TH MEETING OF THE GARLAND PLAN COMMISSION.

AND MOST OF THE LAND'S BUILT OUT ANYHOW, SOME OF THAT OPEN SPACE YOU SAW IS ALREADY UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR EXPANSIONS.

AND THIS WILL PROBABLY APPLY MORE TO EXPANSIONS IN NEW FACILITIES, BUT, UH, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, THE RESIDENCES HAD SOME PROTECTION OF THE LAND RIGHT NEXT TO 'EM AND THEY DO.

SO GOOD.

ALRIGHTY.

LET'S SEE.

I THINK THAT WAS THE LAST ITEM, WASN'T IT? YEP.

SO WE SHALL BE IN RECESS UNTIL SEVEN O'CLOCK.
