[00:10:08]

STAT'S RECOMMENDATION OF THIS REQUEST IS DENIAL. UH, STAFF CONCURS WITH THE PD ZERO DASH OR EXCUSE ME 01-26 CONDITIONS AND FINDS THAT THE ADDITIONAL USES PROPOSED DO NOT ALIGN WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN. THE UH, PLANE COMMISSION DURING THE FEBRUARY 26 MEETING, UH, RECOMMENDED APPROVAL THAT WAS WITHIN AN 8 TO 0 VOTE. UM IN ADDITION, THE PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDED THAT ONLY ONE CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY MAY BE ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE PROPERTY WITH THE INTENT TO AVOID MULTIPLE TENANTS ON THE PROPERTY AND KEEP IT AS ONE DEALERSHIP ESSENTIALLY WAS THE PLAN COMMISSION'S INTENT. AND UH, MAYOR WE MAILED OUT 16 NOTIFICATION LETTERS ON THIS CASE, AND WE RECEIVED FIVE RESPONSES IN OPPOSITION AND THOSE WERE ALL OUTSIDE THE NOTIFICATION AREA. THANK YOU.

VERY GOOD. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS ITEM? BECAUSE WE L BUT CAN YOU TALK ABOUT HOW MANY USED CAR DEALERSHIPS ARE AROUND THAT ARE STRICTLY USED CAR? SURE YEAH, WE DID. A SEARCH AT THE ONE MILE RADIUS SEARCH FROM THE SITE THAT INCLUDES BOTH GARLAND AND IN DALLAS. UM WE FOUND SEVEN WITHIN ONE MILE ON THE GARLAND CITY LIMIT SIDE WITHIN GARLAND. THAT IS AND THEN, UH, 2020 OR SO WITHIN A MILE, UM, IN DALLAS, SO APPROXIMATELY ABOUT 27 WITH ABOUT A MONTH DEFINITELY NOT LACKING IN THAT TYPE OF USE. UM. AS FAR AS THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN GOES.

YOU MENTIONED THAT IT IT DIDN'T ALLOW FOR MORE CAR OR STORAGE USES ALONG FRONTAGE ROADS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU EXPAND UPON THAT JUST A LITTLE BIT SURE. YEAH AND I'LL PULL THAT SLIDE BACK UP. BUT, YES, IT DOES. MENTION MAJOR GATEWAYS AND CORRIDORS, YOU KNOW, HIGH VISIBILITY CORRIDORS, THOSE SORTS OF THINGS. UM SO YES, IT IT, UH, RECOMMENDS, UM, PUTTING MORE, UM, KIND OF BEAUTIFICATION EFFORTS AND KEEPING THAT VISIBILITY IN MIND. YES, MA'AM.

SO ALSO IF WE ALLOW ALLOWED USED CAR, UH AS A USE USED VEHICLE SALES AS A USE. WOULD THAT, UM WOULD THAT ALLOW THEM TO ONLY HAVE USED CAR SALES AT THAT? SITE WOULD THEY BE ABLE TO NOT SELL NEW VEHICLES? THAT'S CORRECT. THE LAND USE WOULD BE NEW OR USED SO KIND OF LIKE A CARMAX, WHICH THERE'S ONE LIKE LESS THAN A MILE AWAY. AND I DON'T THE CARMAX HAS A PRETTY LARGE INVENTORY. THAT'S HOW THEY , UM, KIND OF OPERATE. I IS THIS SITE. DO YOU KNOW THE SIZE COMPARISON? I'M AFRAID I DON'T I BELIEVE THE CAR MAX SIDE IS LARGER THAN THIS. BUT I, I DON'T HAVE THE ACREAGE OF THE OF THE OTHER SIDE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. VERY GOOD. EXCUSE ME ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? CUSTOMER WILLIAMS. THANK YOU, MAYOR. EVENING MR GARRETT. GOOD EVENING. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT CURRENTLY? WHAT'S THE USE IS WHAT IS STRICTLY NEW CAR NOW.

CAN YOU DESCRIBE BRIEFLY? WHAT'S AT THE SITE NOW? THAT'S CORRECT. UM, THE, UM THE LONE STAR CADILLAC IS STILL THERE. THE APPLICANT CAN EXPAND A L LITTLE BIT ON THE BACKGROUND OF THE REQUEST AND MOVING FORWARD. AND YOU KNOW THE REASONS FOR THE REQUEST MOVING FORWARD. UH, BUT, YES, SIR. THE LONE STAR CADILLAC DEALERSHIP IS UM IN BUSINESS THERE AND THEIR ZONING, THEIR PD ZONING APPROVED BACK IN 2001 RESTRICTS THEIR OPERATION TO SELLING NEW VEHICLES ONLY. SO THE REQUEST IS TO BE ABLE TO SELL, WHETHER IT'S LONE STAR OR A DIFFERENT OPERATOR TO SELL USED, UH, CARS BY RIGHT AS WELL AS THOSE FOUR OTHER USES BY SUP. DO, DO YOU? WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE ANY INFORMATION OR ANY IDEA ON THE NUMBER OF NEW CAR DEALERSHIPS? LET'S SAY WITHIN A 10 MILE RADIUS THAT OUR NEW CAR DEALERSHIPS THAT ARE ALSO LICENSED TO SELL USED CARS ON THE SAME LINE. I'M AFRAID I DON'T HAVE THAT DATA. NO, SIR. FOR NEW CARS ONLY, OR NEW VEHICLES. YES UM, I. I DON'T HAVE THAT DATA HANDY. I WE DID LOOK AT THE 11 MILE RADIUS. UM AS FAR AS KIND OF USED CARS GO, BUT, UM OKAY AND EXPLAIN AGAIN. THE CONSIDERATIONS THIS IS FOR THE NEWER NEWS. THE OTHER QUEST, EXPLAIN THAT AGAIN THAT THEY HAVE TO COME BACK FOR AN SUP.

WOULD YOU GO WITH THAT? BRIEFLY AGAIN? THAT'S CORRECT. UM YES, THESE FOUR USES HERE, STARTING WITH BOAT SAILS AND MOVING. UH, DOWNWARD. UM YES, SIR. THOSE THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST IS TO ADD THESE FOUR USES INTO THE PD ORDINANCE TO ALLOW THEM BY SUP. SO SHOULD A BUSINESS THAT MATCHES ONE OF THESE LAND USES COME BACK AT A FUTURE DATE THEY WOULD COME BACK THROUGH IF COUNSEL WERE TO APPROVE THE REQUEST THIS EVENING, THEY WOULD COME BACK THROUGH THE SUP

[00:15:03]

PROCESS AND ALL OF THESE, ALL OF THESE REQUESTED PEN. USES WOULD BE AT THE SAME LOCATION CORRECT.

POTENTIALLY IT IT, UH IT IT'S REALLY AN EITHER, EITHER, OR, MOST LIKELY, THE APPLICANT IS MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE APPLICANT IS ASKING TO ADD THESE USES TO HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY SHOULD LONE STAR OR SHOULD THE EXISTING USER VACATE? UH UH, THE PREMISE OR OR NO LONGER? UM UM, UM, RENEW THEIR LEASE, SO THEY'RE ASKING FOR A NUMBER OF USES TO HAVE POTENTIAL OTHER USERS IN LINE THAT MAY COME FORWARD THROUGH AN SUP, OR BY RIGHT. IN THE CASE OF A USED VEHICLE, IT IS POTENTIAL TO POTENTIALLY, UM VIABLE TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE USE. BUT, UM, BUT IT'S KIND OF A MENU OF USES FOR LACK OF BETTER WORDS THAT THE APPLICANT IS ASKING TO ADD TO THE PD TO A POTENTIALLY ALLOW FOR A FUTURE USER. THANKS TOO. THANK YOU, MAYOR. VERY GOOD. DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TIM MOORE.

THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. WELL WOULD YOU ONCE AGAIN EXPLAINED THE RATIONALE? THE REASONS THAT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, UH, RECOMMENDED AGAINST? UH, YES, SIR. SO UM, REALLY THE PLANS THAT THAT, UM, WE HAVE ADOPTED AS A CITY, UM OR OUR OUR PRIMARY GUIDE. SO IN REVIEWING THE LANGUAGE OF THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN, AS WELL AS, UM, ESPECIALLY THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, STRATEGIC PLAN, THERE'S PARTICULAR LANGUAGE AND RECOMMENDATIONS PERTAINING TO AUTO USES. SO, UM, SO RECOMMEND. WAS BASED ON THAT PLAN. AND THAT GUIDE YES, SIR. AND IF ALL THESE OTHER USES WERE PUT IN THERE, ESPECIALLY AS IT RELATES TO OUR, UH, BEING KIND OF CONCERNED AS RELATE THAT TO THAT BEING A GATEWAY, UH, COULD ALL THESE OTHER USES COULD BE USED OUT THERE AT THE SAME TIME AS THE USED CAR. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? POTENTIALLY THE USE IS LISTED HERE IN THIS SLIDE. UM YES, SIR. POTENTIALLY POTENTIALLY YES, SIR. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. VERY GOOD. UH, MAYOR PRO TIM BASS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU WILL, UM WELL, SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN AND, UH, BEAUTIFICATION EFFORTS. SO DO WE HAVE, UM DO WE HAVE A ANY ALTERNATIVE PLANS FOR THIS AREA. UH, NO, SIR. NOT FOR THIS SITE.

THIS WAS AN A REQUEST, UM, SPECIFICALLY BROUGHT FORWARD BY THE APPLICANT. UM THEY'RE NOT PROPOSING ANY SITE CHANGES OR SITE IMPROVEMENTS OR ANYTHING PHYSICAL. AT THIS TIME, I'M TALKING ABOUT LONG TERM FROM THE CITY'S PERSPECTIVE. SO UM, YOU GUYS CITED THE YOU KNOW, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN. AND UM SO WHAT? WHAT DOES THE CITY FORESEE FOR THIS? SITE IN THE FUTURE, BECAUSE LOOKING AT IT THERE, IT'S PRETTY LOCKED IN. IT'S GOT A FREEWAY. ON ONE SIDE. IT'S GOT A RAILROAD TRACK ON THE OTHER IS NOT REALLY GREAT EGRESS. SO I'M CURIOUS. UM YOU KNOW THE STAFF RECOMMENDED AGAINST IT. YOU KNOW, I WOULD. I WOULD THINK THERE'S SOME KIND OF ALTERNATIVE. UH USAGE THEM HE MAY HAVE IN MIND FOR IT. WELL AND, UM THERE'S NO AND AS FAR AS LAND USE IS NO. NO SPECIFIC LAND USE IS PRIVATELY OWNED, OF COURSE AND WILL REMAIN PRIVATELY OWNED. UM SO THERE'S NO SPECIFIC LAND USE REQUEST, WE WOULD ABSOLUTELY BE OPEN. UM AND ABSOLUTELY WILLING TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE LANDOWNER OR ANYONE, UM, ABOUT OTHER ADDING OTHER USES TO THE PD OR ANY ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE. UM OF COURSE, AS THE COUNCIL IS AWARE OF THE 635 ARE WELL UNDERWAY, SO THAT'S KIND OF THE MAIN PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENT IN THAT AREA AT THIS TIME, OK? AND CAN WE GO BACK TO THE, UM WHERE YOU SHOWED THE CURRENT USES.

LET'S SEE, UH, IS THIS, UH THIS ONE OR GO BACK? GO BACK TO THE MAP. OH, THE MAP. I'M SORRY.

RIGHT THERE. OK SO RHT NOW THAT'S ALL OF THE PURPLE IS INDUSTRIAL AND THE BLUE RED L 635. THERE ARE EXISTING CAR DEALERSHIPS. UH, YES, SIR. THE BLUE STANDS FOR, UM OR INDICATES A HEAVY COMMERCIAL BASE ZONING. SO YES, SIR. THESE ARE CAR DEALERSHIPS. OKAY? I'M JUST LOOKING AT THIS TRYING TO COME UP WITH IF THERE IS A YOU KNOW, WITH THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE FOR THIS LAND WOULD BE AND LOOKING AT THIS CLOSER YOU CAN SEE LIKE I SAID, THERE'S ONE POINT OF EGRESS FROM THE FROM THE SERVICE ROAD, AND THERE'S A RAILROAD TRACK RIGHT BEHIND IT.

I'M JUST SCRATCHING MY HEAD TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING ELSE THAT CAN BE DONE WITH THIS PROPERTY.

OK, THANK YOU. KAY. BECAUSE FOR LUCK WELL, I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT THREE TYPES OF BUSINESSES THAT ARE IN AN ISLSLAND SITUATION. TP GOLF STRIKE AND REEL SIX FLAGS. ALL OF THOSE HAVE ONE ENTRANCE.

ALL OF THOSE ARE NOT IN RETAIL CENTERS. ALL OF THOSE ARE NOT SURROUNDED BY OTHER RETAIL OR ENTERTAINMENT. THEY ARE WITHIN THEIR OWN SPACE. OK? THANK YOU. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO THE APPLICANT. SO, YOU KNOW. THANK YOU, MR KIN. SECRETARY IF YOU CALL OUR FIRST SPEAKER. YES, SIR. I HAD THE APPLICANT MAXWELL FISHER.

[00:20:11]

YEAH. MR FISHER. I KNOW YOU KNOW THIS, BUT I'M GONNA SAY IT ANYWAY. IF YOU COULD GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, YOU'LL HAVE 10 MINUTES TO MAKE YOUR PRESENTATION. UH AND THEN IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER COMMENTS, UH, WE WILL ALLOW TIME FOR REBUTTAL. ALL RIGHT. MAYOR COUNCIL. MY NAME IS MAXWELL FISHER WITH ZONE 2502 GRANDVIEW DRIVE. RICHARDSON TEXAS 75080.

WE ALSO HAVE CAPITAL AUTOMOTIVE AND OUR BROKER CBRE IN THE AUDIENCE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT I ASKED ANSWER. SO LONE STAR CADILLAC HAS BEEN HERE FOR A COUPLE OF DECADES. UM, THEY WILL BE AS A TENANT. WE WILL BE LEAVING THE BUILDING TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR. AND SO, UM, THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY IS INTERESTED IN COMING UP WITH SOME POTENTIAL PERMITTED USES THAT WOULD WORK IN BACKFILLING THAT SPACE. UM WE'LL GET INTO SOME OF THE CHALLENGES OF THIS PROPERTY. BUT THE CURRENT ZONING ONLY ALLOWS FOR NEW AUTO SALES ALLOWS NO OTHER USES. THERE'S NOT THAT NOT THAT MANY PROPERTIES IN IN GARLAND, UM, THAT DOESN'T ALLOW AT LEAST A RANGE OF USES TO GIVE PROPERTY OWNERS. UM SOME FLEXIBILITY. UM SO WE WOULD BE ASKING TO, UM, ASKING FOR BOTH PRE OWNED AND NEW TALK AUTO SALES. UM, IT COULD BE BOTH MEANING. IT'S A NEW AUTO SALES THAT THAT ALSO SELLS PRE OWNED, WHICH IS WHAT CADILLAC HAS BEEN DOING, UM OR OR IT COULD JUST BE PRE OWNED ONLY, BUT IT WOULD BE SOMEWHAT OF A NATIONAL SCALE TENANT. SO WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A MOM AND POP OR A SMALLER AUTO SALES FACILITY, WHICH I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A PROLIFERATION OF THOSE IN GARLAND AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT GO ALONG WITH THAT.

SO WHEN THE GARLAND DEVELOPMENT CODE WAS APPROVED IN 2015 1 OF THE THINGS THAT THAT WE DID WHEN I HELPED WHEN I WORKED ON THAT IS WE LOOKED AT THE LAND USE CLASSIFICATIONS, AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT BOTH NEW AND PRE OWNED COULD BE UNDER ONE LAND USE CLASSIFICATION, AND WITH THAT IS THERE WASN'T REALLY A DIFFERENCE FROM A LAND USE COMPATIBILITY STANDPOINT OR A USE IN INTENSITY STANDPOINT. AND SO THAT'S WHY THOSE WERE COMBINED. SO WE'RE THIS REQUEST BY APPROVING IT ALSO ALIGNS WITH THAT SPIRIT AND INTENT OF THE DEVELOPMENT CODE THAT THE CITY ADOPTED ANY EVENT. THIS REQUEST DOESN'T GET APPROVED. THEN THERE'S A REALLY GOOD CHANCE THAT IT IT COULD GO DARK, UM TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR, PARTICULARLY IF THEY ONLY USE ALLOWED IS NEW AUTO SALES? WE DON'T HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY. SO THIS IS A PURPOSE-BUILT CAR DEALERSHIP. UM IT IT, UM, LIKE I SAID, ONLY ALLOWS THE, UH PRE OWNED AUTO SALES BY RIGHT, UM AND THAT'S WHAT IT'S HOW IT'S BEEN USED IN THE PAST. IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S BUILT FOR A RANGE OF OTHER USE TYPES. UM, THE ACCESS IS VERY, VERY LIMITED. UM SO THE REQUQUESTOULD BE TO ALLOW NEW OR PRE OWNED, UM AND THEN ALL THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT OPTIONS WOULD BE, UM, THE ONLY BE FIVE OF THOSE, AND THOSE ARE SIMILAR TYPE BUSINESSES. UM WE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK BEFORE YOU SO IF IT'S ANYTHING OTHER THAN YOUR CONVENTIONAL, YOU KNOW, TRUCK OR CAR SALES. UH, THAT OPERATOR WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK AND ASK FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. SO YOU WOULD GET TO SEE, UH, REVIEW THE NATURE OF THAT REQUEST. THE SCALE THAT REQUEST. UM SO WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY OF THAT TONIGHT WE ASKING FOR A NEW OR PRE OWNED, UH AND THE SUPS THAT COME BACK. UM THE AREA YOU CAN SEE, IT'S LARGELY INDUSTRIAL. THERE'S A, UM THERE'S RAILROAD, UH, ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION TOWER BEHIND US. THEN THERE'S OTHER CAR DEALERSHIPS AND HOTELS . LAW TELLS US THAT A LOT OF, UH , RETAILERS LIKE TO GO NEXT TO OTHER RETAILERS, UM, LIKE THE EXAMPLE WAS LIKE THE ICE CREAM.

UH, SH SHOPS THAT AROUND THE BEACH IS, I THINK WAS AN EXAMPLE GIVEN, UM, BUT IN THIS CASE, IT'S CAR DEALERSHIPS THAT ARE NEXT TO EACH OTHER BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE TO CROSS SHOP. UM THISS NOT A SITE THAT LIVES ON IMPULSE BUYS. YOU'RE NOT JUST GOING TO BE DRIVING BY AND SEE THIS SITE. IT'S SOMEWHAT HIDDEN. BURIED THE YOU KNOW, THE SERVICE ROAD IS RAISED. THE ACCESS IS POOR. THE SITE IS AS A BOUNDED BY RAILROAD TRACKS. UM IT HAS ONE SINGLE FRONTAGE. UM THERE IS NO COMMON, UM, ANY LOCAL CONNECTIVITY TO THE EAST? UM, BECAUSE WE ARE HEMMED IN BY THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND UTILITY LINE . UM, WE'LL GET IN A BIT HERE. HOW ABOUT YOU FURTHER HIM? UM DISRUPTS IT, BUT SO THE 635 SERVICE ROAD AND THE HIGHWAYS BEING IMPROVED. UM, YOU CAN SEE THE EXISTING RAMP. ACTUALLY YOU KNOW, IF YOU EX EXIT IT TODAY, IT PUTS YOU PAST THE PROPERTY.

YOU CAN'T EVEN GET TO THE UNLESS YOU'RE ON THE ALREADY ON THE SERVICE ROAD OR ALREADY ON MCCREE, I SHOULD SAY, BUT WHEN THE SERVICE ROAD IS COMPLETED, THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ELEVATED SERVICE ROAD THAT HAS A, UM I GUESS IT'S A BIT OF A DISRUPTED SECTION, BUT THEN YOU'LL YOU'LL BE ABLE TO BASICALLY TAKE THE EXIT RAMP AND ENTER INTO THE PROPERTY. SO WE WILL HAVE ONE

[00:25:01]

ENTERI POINT. BUT MCCREE ROAD WILL BECOME A, UH, CUL-DE-SAC A DEAD END. ESSENTIALLY SO THERE'S NO WAY TO GET TO THIS PROPERTY FROM GARLAND. IT'S ESSENTIALLY YOU HAVE TO BE ON THE SERVICE ROAD OR ONE SERVICE ROAD, WHICH MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT, SO IT'S VERY I INFEASIBL FOR MOST RETAILERS. COUPLE OF PICTURES THAT JUST SHOW THE NATURE OF THE SERVICE ROAD THERE, AND IT'S ELEVATED. THAT'S LOOKING TOWARDS THE SOUTHEAST. SO ITS SURROUNDING INDUSTRIAL USES AROUND IT. RA TRACKS AS I MENTIONED, UM YOU KNOW, TYPICALLY, THERE IS A MEN COMMISSIONER, LUG MEN OR COUNSELOR. LET'S MENTION THAT, UM, ENTERTAINMENT USES AND RETAILERS, YOU KNOW, UM, YOU KNOW, BE GOOD FOR THIS SITE. THOSE TYPE OF USES TYPICALLY LIKE TO GO WHERE THERE'S OTHER TYPE OF USE IS ALREADY EXISTING. SO YOU KNOW YOU HAVE AN ENTERTAINMENT USE OTHER AROUND OTHER, UM, REACH RETAIL AND RESTAURANT USES LIKE YOU HAVE A FIREWALL TOWN CENTER. THEY TYPICALLY DON'T LIKE TO GO STAND ALONE AROUND INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTS. UM PARTICULARLY I MEAN, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR RETAILERS AND ENTERTAINMENT USES TO PICK A SITE HAS TO BE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. IT HAS TO HAVE LOT LOTS OF TRAFFIC. UM GREAT ACCESS HAS TO BE AROUND. OTHER USES THAT, UM, WHERE THERE'S CROSS SHOPPING OPPORTUNITIES AND THE SYNERGY SYNERGY THAT YOU NEED TO MAKE SUCCESSFUL PROJECT. UM VIABLE FOR YEARS TO COME. AND THIS IS NOT THAT SITE. UM AND SO IF IT'S NOT VEHICLE SALES, WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE SITE? UM THE ONLY OTHER USES THAT WE HAD ORIGINALLY TALKED ABOUT WAS A CONTRACTOR WAREHOUSE OR A TOOL RENTAL BUSINESS BECAUSE OF THE ACCESS LIMITATIONS IN THE IN THE SURROUNDING USES AROUND IT, AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S SOMETHING GARWIN WOULD WANNA SEE. SO WE DIDN'T ASK FOR THOSE THINGS. BUT THOSE ARE THINGS THAT THE MARKET COULD BRING. BUT WE DIDN'T ASK FOR THOSE THINGS, UM, GIVEN THOSE GIVEN THE MARKET REALITIES AND THE SITE LIMITATIONS, SO WHAT ARE THE POTENTIAL BUSINESSES? THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT IS THE CALIBER OF A, UM, A CADILLAC DEALERSHIP. IT'S GONNA BE SOMETHING AS YOU AS YOU SEE THERE, IT'S GONNA BE SOMEONE THAT CAN PAY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A YEAR IN RENT. UM AND SO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET A MOM AND POP DEALERSHIP? UM AUTO SALES THERE. IT'S GONNA BE A TRUE DEALERSHIP. UM THEY HAD TO BE ABLE TO PAY REAL HIGH RENTS AND THEN ALSO NEW NEW DEALERSHIPS. THEY SELL QUITE A FEW PRE OWNED CARS. THERE'S A LIST THERE OF HOW MANY THEY TYPICALLY SELL. EVERY NEW DEALERSHIP SELLS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 20 TO 40% PRE OWNED VEHICLES, SO THE INDUSTRY IS SORT OF WHERE THE PRE AND NEW SORT SORT OF THERE'S A CONFLUENCE THERE TO WHERE, UM THE NATURE OF THESE TYPE OF USES ARE SO INTERCHANGEABLE, SO THIS WILL BE A NATIONAL TYPE RETAILER GOING HERE. THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN WAS MENTIONED. IT'S YOU KNOW IT TALKS ABOUT INCREASING CITY REVENUE AND THEN PROMOTING, UM, REDEVELOPMENT UNDER USED AND LOW VALUE PARCELS. THE ACTUAL YOU KNOW, WITH A AN AUTO SALES FACILITY THERE, YOU KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE THE SAME RETAIL SALES TAX AS YOU MIGHT HAVE WITH IT USES. HOWEVER YOU DO HAVE PROPERTY TAX AND YOU ALSO HAVE AN ANNUAL INVENTORY TAX, AND THAT'S PAID TO THE LOCAL ENTITIES EVERY YEAR, SO IN ADDITION TO THE PROPERTY VALUE FROM THE BUILDING AND THERE'S ALSO THEY TAKE AN INVENTORY OF THE ACTUAL VEHICLES, UM UP FOR SALE ON THE PROPERTY AND THAT GETS ASSESSED. IN ADDITION, THIS PROPERTY HAS A RETAIL AND SERVICE COMPONENT, AND IT'S A QUITE A BIG NUMBER. AND SO YOU DO HAVE RETAIL SALES TAX. THERE'S ALSO 35 JOBS AT THIS PROPERTY CREATES, SO I THINK WE ALIGN WITH THE ECONOMIC DIAL WITH STRATEGIC PLAN FAIRLY. WELL UM, ON ON THIS CHALLENGE PROPERTY. UM WE HAVE A LOT OF OUR 35 EMPLOYEES ARE ALSO SKILLED. UM BECAUSE OF THE SERVICE AND, UM, REPAIR THAT WE DO OFFER SO IF IT'S NOT OCCUPIED WITH THIS TYPE OF USE AGAIN, VIABLE USES ARE MORE INDUSTRIAL IN NATURE CONTRACTOR BUSINESS THINGS THAT HAVE AN AN OUTSIDE COMPONENT, UM LIKE TOOL RENTAL, AND WE DON'T THINK THAT'S THE BEST USE FOR THE SITE. THE STTEGIC PLAN ALSO HAS CALLS OUT THIS PROPERTY AS HAVING AN AN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND QUALITY. UM AND SO THE PROPERTY IS KEPT UP. WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A PROPERTY THAT'S DARREL ACT THAT IS IN NEED OF REDEVELOPMENT. IT'S A NICE LOOKING PROPERTY, AND WE LIKE TO KEEP IT THAT WAY, AND WE LIKE TO BRING THE BEST TENANT POSSIBLE FOR THE PROPERTY. SO WE WOULD ASK YOU TO APPROVE THIS AMENDMENT. UM FOR BOTH NEW AND PRE OWNED, UM AND LET ME BACK. LET ME ANSWER A COUPLE QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP BEFORE. AS I FINISH QUESTION THAT CAME UP, UM, ABOUT THOSE OTHER TYPE OF SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. UM THAT WE DON'T. IT'S NOT LIKE WE WOULD HAVE ALL THOSE ONHE PROPERTY. THE SUP, UM, MENU AS AS WILL SAID. THAT GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK AND ASK FOR AN SUP. FOR ONE OF THOSE USES. WE'D HAVE TO HAVE AN OPERATOR IN MIND, AND THEY WOULD PROBABLY BE THE FACE OF THE THEY WOULD BE PURSUING THAT REQUEST.

SO WE'RE NOT ALLOWING A RAIN ANY OF THOSE THINGS. UM AND WE'RE WILLING TO ALSO, UH, APPROVE.

ONLY ONE CERTIFICATE ALLOW ONLY ONE CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY FOR THIS PROPERTY. SO THAT WAY YOU

[00:30:03]

DON'T HAVE A DIFFERENT USES IN THERE. IT'S ONLY GONNA BE ONE OPERATOR. THAT'S WHAT WE'D LIKE TO KEEP IT THAT WOULD THAT WOULD BRING, UM THE MOST MONEY BY HAVING THE BEST OPERATOR THERE.

SINGLE OPERATOR SO BY APPROVING THE PD, UM WE AVOID A VACANT BUILDING, UH, NEGLECT AND BLIGHT ON THIS PROPERTY. UM AND THEN, UH, AS I MENTIONED ALTERNATIVE USES, THAT I THINK ARE ARE NOT AS GOOD AS WHAT? WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR. UM A PROSPECTIVE TENANT WILL PAY HIGH RENT. UM AND INSURERS, THE NATIONAL PLATFORM AND AGAIN WE'RE OK WITH LIMITING TO ONE CO FOR THE ENTIRE PROPERTY, AND WE WOULD ASK THE COUNCIL TO FOLLOW THE, UH, THE PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION ON THIS REQUEST, AND I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. VERY GOOD. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT. COUNCILOR ELECT OK, SO I. I KNOW YOU'RE TRYING TO POKE HOLES IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WE'VE SPENT A REALLY LONG TIME DEVELOPING AND SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE, THAT'S KIND OF BEEN OUR FOCUS SO ALONG OUR VALUABLE FRONTAGE ROADS, UM WE ARE INUNDATED WITH AUTO AND STORAGE WAS, WHICH IS THE EXACT USE THAT OUR DE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN IS WARNING US AGAINST HAVING THERE SO YOU. YOU TALK ABOUT SALES TAX , WHICH WE DON'T GET FROM DEALERSHIPS. AND THEN YOU ALSO TALKED ABOUT A VEHICLE INVENTORY TAX. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WAS LAST YEAR? WELL, I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT IMAGE THE VEHICLE INVENTORY TAX FOR LAST YEAR, BUT I DO HAVE THE SERVICE AND SALES NUMBERS. THAT IS A LITTLE LESS THAN 200 GRAND. WELL, I CAN TELL YOU THAT A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT PRODUCES MORE SALES TAX THAN THAT DEALERSHIP COULD EVEN THINK ABOUT PRODUCING IN ONE YEAR, SO TO HAVE ANY OTHER USE THERE.

BESIDES AUTO SALES, ESPECIALLY USED AUTO SALES WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER USE IN MY OPINION. UM.

I'M I'M REALLY JUST YOU KNOW, WE HAVE ALL THESE CARS AROUND 635. YOU YOU DRIVE AROUND DOWN 635 AND YOU PASS DEALERSHIP AFTER DEALERSHIP AFTER DEALERSHIP. HERE'S A STORAGE PLACE. WE'RE JUST NOW STARTING TO GET SOME RESTAURANTS DOWN THERE. A BIG RESTAURANT INCUBATORS COMING IN.

UH, WE JUST GOT AN OLIVE GARDEN. I MEAN, WE'RE GETTING SOME REALLY GREAT USES THERE. WE'RE WORKING ON STUFF THAT WILL PRODUCE EVEN BETTER USES IN THE FUTURE. AND EVEN S STAFF IS TELLING YOU AND I'M TELLING YOU, AND THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE WRITTEN IN AND SAID WE DON'T WANT THIS HERE AND I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU'RE STILL HERE ASKING FOR IT. WELL, I THINK ONE OF THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCES IS THAT WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR A, UH, A NEW OR USED AUTO SALES ON A GREENFIELD SITE. IF IT'S NOT REALLY NEW. WE WERE ASKING TO REPLACE A BUSINESS THAT IS LEAVING THE PROPERTY, SO I THINK THAT'S A BIG DIFFERENCE HERE IF WE WERE COMING AND WE WERE SAYING, HEY, WE, YOU KNOW, THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN VACANT OR IT'S BEEN. IT'S BEEN UNDEVELOPED, AND WE WANT TO DO A NEW AUTO SALES OR ANY SORT OF AUTO SALES. I THINK THEN I THINK YOU WOULD.

YES I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT. BUT BECAUSE WE'RE THIS IS AN EXISTING. IT'S PURPOSE BUILT FOR THIS TYPE OF USE. THERE IS ALL INDUSTRIAL AROUND IT. THERE'S RAILROAD AND UTILITY LINES AROUND IT. IT'S NOT LIKE THERE'S HALF THE HALF THE PROPERTIES AROUND. IT ARE RETAIL IN NATURE.

WE'RE NOT. IT'S NOT THAT KIND OF IT'S NOT THAT AREA. UM BUT I DORE, I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE COMING. I MEAN, I WAS I'VE BEEN PART OF A LOT OF THE AUTO THE SENSITIVITY TO AUTO ORIENTED USES AROUND DOWNTOWN, THE GARLAND UM GARLAND AVENUE. YOU KNOW, OVER THE YEARS, AND I DO APPRECIATE THAT. SO THAT MENTALITY HAS GOT US GOTTEN US WHAT WE HAVE THERE RIGHT NOW THAT WE'RE JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH THAT THIS SPACE JUST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR ANYTHING ELSE. THE GARLAND JUST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR ANYTHING ELSE. THAT IS THE EXACT MENTALITY THAT GOT THAT AUTO DEALERSHIP THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE THAT GOT ALL OF THEM THERE AND THAT THAT IS, WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO TURN THAT AROUND AND INVITE DIFFERENT USES INTO THIS AREA. AND IF THAT MEANS THAT YOU CAN'T SELL USED CARS THERE, THEN SO BE IT. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW THAT A DON'T KNOW THAT THE AUTO INDUSTRY WOULD AGREE. I MEAN, I THINK THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN AUTO USES THAT ARE FIRST CLASS. THERE'S ONE THERE NOW, AND WE WOULD WANT TO REPLACE IT WITH THE FIRST CLASS USE. WE JUST RIGHT NOW. THE PROPERTY ONLY ALLOWS FOR NEW AND WE'D LIKE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING IN A PRE OWNED NATIONAL RETAILER. I MEAN, IF YOU COULD GUARANTEE ME THAT, YEAH, IT'S LIKE CLASSIC CARS OR LAMBORGHINIS. THEN YOU KNOW IT MIGHT BE A CONSIDERATION , BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME. YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT WE COULD GET AN ECHO PARK, WHICH IS BASICALLY A CARMAX, WHICH WE ALREADY HAVE RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. WE ALREADY HAVE WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO GET THERE, AND WE HAVE TOO MUCH OF IT. THANK YOU. OK? ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT. CUSTOMER, WILLIAMS. THANK YOU, MAYOR. GOOD EVENING, MR MACRON.

[00:35:02]

CAN YOU ELABORATE ON STATEMENT THAT YOU MADE ABOUT OTHER POSSIBLE YOU MENTIONED. WHEN YOU THINK THE PLACE MAKE OR DARK, YOU SPECULATED ON THAT. BUT IN ADDITION TO WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE NOT WHAT, WHAT ANY OTHER WHAT OTHER OPTIONS ARE THERE THAT YOU SAID THAT MAYBE OTHER OPTIONS? CAN YOU SHARE WHAT WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT WHEN YOU SAID OTHER USES OTHER OPTIONS, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH WITH WITHIN A 10 MILE RADIUS. YOU'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH WITH WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. SO WHEN YOU CAN YOU ELABORATE ON YOU MENTIONED OTHER OPTIONS. OTHER THINGS. CAN YOU BE MORE SPECIFIC? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? REFERRING TO OTHER OPTIONS THAT ARE, UH THE SALE OF VEHICLES ARE OTHER ANY ANY FOR THIS PROP FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY? THAT'S THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING TONIGHT LIKE AN RB OR A BOAT SAILS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT OR A MOTORCYCLE AND I'M LISTENING TO YOU. I'M ASKING IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SUP REQUEST VERSUS NO, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE I'M TALKING ABOUT THE REQUEST THAT'S BEFORE US TONIGHT . WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE EXTRA YOU THAT WILL REQUIRE YOU TO COME BACK AND GET A AM I TALKING ABOUT THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT SPECIFICALLY WHAT'S BEFORE TONIGHT AND YOU SAID YOU SAID, I'VE ALLUDED TO SOME OTHER POSSIBILITIES OTHER USES. BUT YOU DIDN'T. CAN YOU BE MORE CAN YOU BE GIVE US CAN YOU PUT A LITTLE LITTLE SUBSTANCE IN THAT FOR ME TO HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT? WE'VE HAD INTEREST FROM CONTRACTORS, A CONTRACTOR BUSINESSES LIKE CONTRACTOR YARD. A TOOL RENTAL WOULD BE ANOTHER ONE FOR THIS THIS PROPERTY OR SOME SORT OF INDUSTRIAL USE. UM IT'S NOT GOOD FOR AOFFICE OFFICE DEVELOPMENT. UM THERE'S BEEN A FLIGHT TO QUALITY SINCE COVID. UM OUR OFFICE. AS YOU KNOW, A LOT OF OFFICE BUILDINGS ARE HALF HALF EMPTY. UM UH, IN IN OUR IN OUR OFFICE AREAS OF DFW, UM, AND SO IT'S NOT A GOOD OFFICE SITE. UM, TYPICALLY, PEOPLE WHO WANNA DEVELOP AN OFFICE WANT TO BE NEAR, UH, A RANGE OF RESTAURANT OPTIONS FOR LUNCH. UM, POTENTIALLY OTHER OTHER TYPE OF USES. THEY TYPICALLY DON'T WANT TO DEVELOP AN OFFICE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INDUSTRIAL AREA THAT HAS AUTO DEALERS AROUND IT. UM AND SO IT'S VERY LIMITED. IT'S LIMITED TO AN AUTO SALES TYPE BUSINESS OR SOMETHING. SOMETHING COMPARABLE LIKE AS I MENTIONED, UM OTHER TYPES OF VEHICLE TYPE USES, UM OR PRE OWNED OR NEW AUTO SALES. IT'S BUILT FOR THAT AND THE LIMITATIONS OF THE PROPERTY AND THE SURROUNDING AREA. UM TELL US THAT THAT'S THE OPTIMAL USE AND JUST THE MARKET.

WHAT WHO? WHO CALLS AND SAYS, HEY, YOU KNOW WHERE WE GO AND CALL AND WE SAY, HEY, THIS THIS PROPERTY IS COMING OPEN, AND, UM , YOU KNOW, OUR BROKER HAS SAID THESE ARE THE USES THAT THAT WE CAN PUT HERE. OK, OK, BECAUSE BUT I DRIVE ALONG OTHER MAJOR KURDISH 75 1 21. ONE OF THE THINGS I DON'T BUT I SEE THAT COUNCIL A LADY LUCK REFERRED TO I DON'T SEE THAT PICTURE WHEN I DRIVE A LOT ALONG THOSE CARD AS I SEE A MIXTURE I SEE. I SEE. THE QUALITY THAT WE ARE TRYING TO GET HERE IN GARLAND. SO CAN YOU HELP ME? I UNDERSTAND. I SEE WHAT'S THERE AND MY AND MY FEELING OF. IT IS, IF IT'S GOOD FOR THEIR GODS IS WORTHY OF THE BEST. SO THAT'S WHAT I'M STRUGGLING WITH HERE. AND WHEN YOU MENTIONED A TO TOOL OF IT. YOU YOU REALLY MAKE MAKE MY STOMACH QUIBBLE, BUT CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND? I'M JUST TRYING TO GET CLARIFICATION WHEN YOU SAID OPTIONS, AND YOU MENTIONED THE TWO OUT THE ASKING FOR ANY OF THOSE THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO ASK FOR. JUST SO WE HAVE SOME OPTIONS. WE'RE NOT DOING THAT WE'RE WE'RE ASKING ONLY FOR PRE OWNED OR OR NEW AUTO SALES AND A FEW SUPS FOR RELATED TYPE BUSINESSES. SO WE'RE NOT ASKING THAT A GOOD EXAMPLE UM, IS RICHARDSON RICHARDSON HAS A LAMBORGHINI. DEALERSHIP IS SORT OF IN AN INDUSTRIAL COMMERCIAL AREA IN THE SOUTH SIDE OF RICHARDSON ON 75 YOU GO NORTH ON 75. YOU GET INTO AN OFFICE AREA, SO I WOULD. I GUESS I WOULD. I WOULD DISAGREE THAT THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE IN A CERTAIN AREA. A CERTAIN CITY OR WHATEVER. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE A RANGE OF USES. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME AUTO USES WHERE THESE AUTO USES YOU'RE GOING AS YOU GO A LITTLE FARTHER TO ANOTHER AREA. YOU MAY HAVE, UM HOTELS AND OFFICES OR SOME SOME MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL. UM AND SO THE NATURE OF THIS PARTICULAR SECTION AND THE CHALLENGES OF 635 AND THE WAY THEY'RE THEY'RE FINISHING THAT OUT AND THE LACK OF ACCESS INTO THE CITY. WITH ONE ACCESS 0.1 WAY IN. IT REALLY LIMITS WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THIS PURPOSE BUILT PROPERTY THAT'S BEEN AN AUTO SALES USED FOR DECADES WERE THERE USED CAR SALES AT MACY'S. YES, TODAY, THERE'S USED CAR SALES THERE.

ALRIGHT THANK YOU, MAYOR. VERY GOOD. EXCUSE ME, MAYOR, PRO TIM BASS. THANK YOU. THINK, MAXWELL

[00:40:06]

MAXWELL, CAN YOU GO BACK? ONE SLIDE, PLEASE? I THINK OK, ONE MORE ALL RIGHT. OH, I GUESS IT'S FURTHER BACK. OK? I WANNA LOOK AT THE ONE ABOUT THE CURRENT G DC. OH, THAT WAS YOUR SLIDE THAT HAD THAT RIGHT? UM I'M NOT SURE WHICH ONE YOU'RE REFERRING TO KEEP GOING. RIGHT THERE. THERE YOU GO. SO ADOPTION OF THE G DC IN 2015 COMBINED NEW AND USED AUTOMOBILE SALES WITH NO DISTINCTION, UM FROM LAND, LAND USE CLASSIFICATION. OK, SO CAN CAN YOU EXPAND ON THAT? A LITTLE BIT MORE FOR ME? THANK YOU. SO THE GARLAND DEVELOP MENT CODE BASICALLY SAYS THAT NEW AND USE AUTO SALES ARE UNDER ONE CLASSIFICATION. THEY DON'T THAT THE CODE DOESN'T AND THE CITY DOESN'T SEE THEM AS BEING DIFFERENT. FROM A LAND USE STANDPOINT. NOW. I. I CAN APPRECIATE THERE BEING A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A VERY SMALL, OTHER USED AUTO SALES FACILITY AND NOT WANTING TO ALLOW A NUMBER OF THOSE AND SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT GARLAND HAS FACED WITH THOSE UM, BUT IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, GIVEN THE REQUEST AS WE'RE ASKING FOR NEW OR PRE OWNED, AND IT HAS TO BE A NATIONAL TYPE TENANT, BECAUSE THE IT'S JUST TOO EXPENSIVE, THE ECONOMICS DON'T WORK TO RELEASE THIS PROPERTY, BUT TWO ARE WILLING TO LIMIT IT TO ONE CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. SO WE CAN'T HAVE MULTIPLE C OS. WE CAN'T HAVE MULTIPLE BUSINESSES THERE. WE'RE WILLING TO PUT THAT IN THE PD THAT THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NEW AND USED, AND THE CODE BASICALLY SAYS THAT THROUGH THE ANALYSIS OF, UH, YOU KNOW, GARLAND DEVELOPMENT CODE IN THE YEARS SPENT ON THAT. UM SO THE CITY DOESN'T SEE IT AS A DIFFERENT DIFFERENT USE. SO IF THIS CADILLAC DEALERSHIP AS IT STANDS IF IT OPENED IN 2016, LET'S SAY THEN YOU WOULDN'T EVEN NEED TO BE HERE. IF THE IF THE ZONING ALLOWED THAT, YES, THE ZONING ALLOWED THAT YEAR CORRECT. BUT IF YOU COULD CLARIFY THAT, PLEASE UH, YEAH. WHAT REALLY BRINGS HIM HERE TODAY IS THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT LANGUAGE. UM REGARDLESS OF THE G DC, IT IS CORRECT. THE G DC IN 2015 DID COMBINE THE USES. BUT THE PD HAS THAT SPECIFIC LANGUAGE SEPARATING THE TWO RIGHT? CORRECT? YES, OK. THANK YOU WILL THE POINT BEING, IF SOMEONE WERE COMING FORWARD TODAY FOR A REQUEST, IT'S LIKELY THAT THE CITY WOULDN'T SAY WELL, YOU CAN HAVE. THEY WOULDN'T PARCEL OUT THE USE AND SAY WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW THIS, BUT NOT THAT BECAUSE THE LAND USE CLASSIFICATION IS ALL UNDER ONE CLASSIFICATION. OKAY. THANK YOU. VERY GOOD. BECAUSE HER LUCK WHEN WE'RE COMING FORWARD WITH AN AUTO USE AT THIS AREA TODAY, THEY WOULDN'T GET AN AUTO USE.

OK? ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR THE AIRPLANE. AND DO WE HAVE, UM , SECRETARY DO WE HAVE OTHER SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM? I HAVE ONE SPEAKER CARD FOR MARGARET BE SHE WOULD LIKE TO REGISTER IN OPPOSITION BUT NOT SPEAK. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I HAVE NO ONE LEFT IN THE QUEUE. UH, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER. LUCK. THIS IS IN YOUR DISTRICT. WELL, I'M I KNOW. YOU ALL HAVE HEARD ME THIS ENTIRE TIME. I JUST REALLY WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT, UM WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE HERE.

THIS IS A FRONTAGE ROAD, REGARDLESS OF THE THINGS BEHIND IT. IT IT IS WHAT PEOPLE SEE WHEN THEY DRIVE THROUGH GARLAND AND WE'VE COME ACROSS OTHER CASES LIKE THIS, UM I JUST PLEASE, PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT I WANT IT TO BE BETTER. THAT'S ALL I WANT FOR THIS AREA. I JUST WANT IT TO BE BETTER, AND I REALLY FEEL LIKE PUTTING ANOTHER USED AUTO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY CAN DO THAT THEY CAN MAKE THIS ONLY USED AUTO SALES, UM PUTTING THAT THERE IS JUST NOT THE BEST USE OF THIS LAND. IT'S FRONTAGE. IT'S VALUABLE FRONTAGE PROPERTY, AND, UM, IN THAT LIGHT, I RECOMMEND DENIAL OF I HAVE OTHER FOLKS IN THAT HAVE OH, OK, GO AHEAD. SORRY UM, I. I RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THIS REQUEST IN ITS ENTIRETY. OF THEM UP. YOU MAKE A MOTION. I MAKE A MOTION TO DENY THE REQUEST IN ITS ENTIRETY. OF EMOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER LUCK TO DENY THIS APPLICATION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? AND A SECOND. BY COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMS, UM, GONNA STEP OUT OF JUST A SECOND HERE. COUNCIL MEMBER, HEDRICK. THANK YOU, MAYOR. I JUST WANT TO EXPRESS MY OPINION BEFORE I VOTE ON THIS. I AM VOTING AGAINST THE DENIAL SIMPLY BECAUSE I HAVEN'T

[00:45:05]

HEARD AN ALTERNATIVE TO WHAT COULD BE THERE. THE PROPERTY OWNER HAS PROVIDED SEVERAL EXAMPLES OF WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THERE, AND I THINK WE NEED TO WORK WITH THE CURRENT OWNER BEFORE. WE HOPE FOR SOMETHING ELABORATE LIKE A, YOU KNOW, AN ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOINING THERE. YOU HAVE A CAR DEALERSHIP NEXT TO IT . WHO THE, UH JUPITER CHEVROLET. THEY ALLOW PRE OWNED SALES. YOU HAVE TWO DEALERSHIPS ACROSS THE STREET. ACROSS LBJ THAT OWN THAT ALLOW PRE OWNED SALES SO THAT NUMBER IS INCLUDED IN THAT USED CAR NUMBER THAT TOTAL THAT WILL PROVIDED THE ACCESS TO THIS SITE IS HORRIBLE. IF YOU SEE IT, IT IS LANDLOCKED BETWEEN. IT'S A WEDGE SHAPED PROPERTY VERY DIFFICULT. IT'S REALLY NOT GOING TO BE OTHER THAN I AGREE. IT COULD BE A AN CONTRACTOR'S OFFICE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

BUT I THINK WE WANT TO WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER. FIRST TO MAKE IT WORK. WHETHER IT BE, UH, GIVE THEM THE OPTION FOR THE BOAT SAILS OR THE AT TV OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT FIRST. IF THAT DOESN'T WORK, THEY'RE GONNA BE HERE BACK IN A YEAR ANYWAY, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING ELSE TO DO WITH IT, SO I THINK WE COULD HAVE ANOTHER BITE AT IT AT THAT POINT IF WE WANT TO CHANGE IT UP, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH THE CURRENT OWNER. AND THAT'S WHY I'M VOTING AGAINST THE MOTION TO DENY. THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANKS, SIR. ALL RIGHT. I BELIEVE WE HAVE CLEARED THE QUEUE. SO JUST TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO DENY FROM COUNCIL MEMBER LL AND A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMS, UH, SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, MADAM SECRETARY IF YOU COULD PRESS THE VOTE AND AGAIN THE MOTION IS TO DENY. AND IF YOU COULD DISPLAY THE VOTE, PLEASE THE MOTION TO THE MOTION TO DENY FAILS FOR LACK OF A MAJORITY, UH, WITH WITH MANY PRO TEM BASS DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TIM MOORE. COUNCILOR DUTTON, COUNCILOR HEDRICK AND COUNCIL MEMBER OTT IN OPPOSITION. UH, THE CHARITABLE ENTERTAIN ANOTHER MOTION. MAYOR PRO TIM BASS MOTION TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED I HAVE A MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM BASS WITH A SECOND BY DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TIM MORE TO APPROVE BECAUSE YOU'RE IN THE QUEUE, SIR. THE RECOMMENDATION. FOR IT TO BE ONE PD OR ONE UH, ONE TENANT. SO AS PRESENTED OK? ALL RIGHT, SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION. UH, WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO APPROVE FOR MAYOR PRO TEM BASS, UH, SECOND BY DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TIM MOORE. AND MADAM SECRETARY, IF YOU COULD PRESIDENT THE VOTE FOR US, PLEASE. AND DISPLAY THE VOTE. THE MAYOR. THE MOTION TO APPROVE PREVAILS WITH, UH, LET'S SEE HERE. COUNCIL MEMBERS MORRIS WILLIAMS, THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBER, L IN OPPOSITION. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR SECOND CASE

[8. b. Consider a request by Prime Data Centers/Munsch Hardt Kopf & Harr, to construct a data center and an electric substation. The site is located at 2000 Holford Road in District 7.]

. THIS IS ITEM EIGHT. B CONSIDER REQUEST BY PRIME DATA, PRIME DATA CENTERS MUNCH HEART COP AND H TO CONSTRUCT A DATA CENTER AND AN ELECTRIC SUBSTATION. THIS SITE IS LOCATED AT 2000 HOLFORD ROAD IN DISTRICT SEVEN. THANK YOU. MAYOR COUNCIL. THIS IS CASE Z 23-47 IS A PROPOSAL FOR A DATA CENTER AND ELECTRIC SUBSTATIONS. THE LOCATION IS 2000 HOLFORD ROAD, AND THE ACREAGE OF THE OVERALL PROPERTY IS JUST UNDER 49 ACRES IN SIZE, AND THE CURRENT ZONING IS AGRICULTURAL.

AND HERE'S A GENERAL LOCATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. OF HOLFORD ROAD AND MORE SPECIFICALLY SHOWN HERE. AGAIN. THE ZONE. UH, THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONE AG. THERE IS SOME UH, OTHER ACT ZONING IN THE AREA TO THE NORTH, UM ACROSS HOLFORD ROAD, THERE'S A FIRE STATION AS WELL AS A LANDSCAPING. UH, BUSINESS, UH, FURTHER DOWN FROM THAT AS A SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEN, UMKIND OF CIRCLING AROUND THE PROPERTY THERE. THERE'S A SENIOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT UNDER CONSTRUCTION JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. A COUPLE OF APARTMENT COMPLEXES, A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH AND EAST AND ANOTHER EXISTING APARTMENT APARTMENT COMPLEX TO THE NORTHEAST. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATES THIS AREA AS COMPACT NEIGHBORHOODS. AND THE, UH PROPOSED DATA CENTER USE AND ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL SUBSTATION ARE GENERALLY LOW IMPACT USES, WHICH GENERATE LITTLE, UH LITTLE TRAFFIC NOISE OR LIGHT MAKING

[00:50:03]

THIS DEVELOPMENT, UM, COMPATIBLE WITH NEARBY RESIDENTIAL USES. AND PER THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN. DATA CENTERS GENERATE THE MOST REVENUE PER ACRE BY BUILDING TYPE. AND HERE'S SOME PHOTOS OF THE AREA, INCLUDING THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDEVELOPED.

AND THAT'S LOOKING AT HOLFORD AND UH, LOOKING AT SOME OTHER SITES IN THE AREA. THAT'S THE, UH, SENIOR LIVING COMPLEX CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. HERE'S THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN THE DATA CENTER WOULD COMPRISE OF THREE BUILDINGS ALL ABOUT 275,000 SQUARE FEET, EACH AS WELL AS THREE SUBSTATIONS. UM TWO BY ENCORE. ONE WOULD BE GP NL, UH, OPERATED, UM, WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT ON SOME SITE PLAN REVISIONS FOR REALLY A NUMBER OF REASONS, BUT, UM, ULTIMATELY WE LANDED ON THE SUBSTATIONS BEING, UM, REALLY ON THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY SHIELDED BEHIND THE DATA CENTER BUILDING. SO, UM VISIBILITY FROM HOLFORD ROAD WOULD BE PRETTY MINIMAL. THE VISIBILITY WOULD BE MAINLY ON, UH, THE DATA CENTER BUILDINGS AND, OF COURSE, THE SCREENING AND LANDSCAPING FROM HOLFORD ROAD. BUT THE SITE WOULD BE ACCESSED FROM HOLFORD ROAD.

AND UH, HERE'S THE LANDSCAPE PLAN, UM, IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE REGULATIONS TO DATA CENTERS, AND THE APPLICANT IS, UM, PROVIDED A LITTLE ENHANCED SCREENING. UH, ALONG HOLFORD ROAD JUST TO HELP WITH THAT. UM, UM THAT LOOK AND VISIBILITY FROM HOLFORD ROAD. UH, THESE ARE KIND OF THE MORE TECHNICAL BUILDING ELEVATIONS, BUT I'LL JUMP TO A MORE 3D RENDERING OF THE DATA CENTER BUILDING. AND THE HEIGHT OF THE MAIN PORTIONS OF THE BUILDING WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 50 FT. UH, BUT THE TOTAL FEET, INCLUDING THIS FEATURE HERE, UH, THE TOTAL HEIGHT WOULD BE 62 APPROXIMATELY 62 FT. THROUGH THE, UH, PLAN DEVELOPMENT. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD ALLOW A DATA CENTER AS WELL AS THE SUBSTATIONS BY RIGHT UH, SO THROUGH THE PD. THE PROPOSAL REPRESENTS ESTABLISHING A USE BY RIGHT THAT STRONGLY ALIGNS WITH THE CITY'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN, WHILE ALSO GAINING ENHANCED SCREENING AND LANDSCAPING ALONG HOLFORD ROAD. AND STATS. RECOMMENDATION IS APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST, MAYOR AND THE PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AS WELL OF THE REQUEST THAT WAS WITH A 5 TO 3 VOTE. UM IN ADDITION, THE PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDED TO LIMIT THE LAND USES IN THE PD TO ONLY A DATA CENTER AND ELECTRIC SUBSTATION. UM THE APPLICANT CONCURS WITH THIS RECOMMENDATION ANTHE PD CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN UPDATED ACCORDINGLY. UM, SO IT IS AS PRESENTED MAYOR OK? AND MAYOR. WE MAILED OUT 89 NOTIFICATION LETTERS ON THIS CASE WE RECEIVED FOUR IN FAVOR WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION AREA AND SIX AGAINST WITHIN, ALSO WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION AREA AND FOUR AGAINST OUTSIDE THE NOTIFICATION AREA. VERY GOOD. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS ITEM? I SEEN IT. THANK YOU WILL UM, SECRETARY , IF YOU CALL, I BELIEVE WE HAVE THE APPLICANT HERE. YES SIR. I HAVE THE APPLICANTS RUSTY COHEN AND COLE ISLE.
