WELL, GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. AND, IT IS, IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD FROM WHERE YOU'RE SITTING IN THIS ROOM, WE HAVE A GUEST WITH US THIS EVENING, IT IS OUR FIRST MEETING OF THE MONTH, SO THAT MEANS IT IS PET OF THE MONTH. AND I BELIEVE THIS IS RICO. YOU SAID RICO. YES, RICO, I WOULD JUST TELL YOU, RICO CAME THROUGH THE LOBBY AND IN THE DOORS AND HE WAS ON A MISSION. ON A MISSION TO BE ADOPTED? YES. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. MY NAME IS CHRISTY FUENTES. I'M THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH COORDINATOR WITH THE GARLAND ANIMAL SHELTER. AND THIS MONTH, I CHOSE RICO.SO, HE'S A VERY, VERY SPECIAL BOY. THE REASON THAT HE'S SO SPECIAL IS HE'S ACTUALLY BEEN AT THE SHELTER LONGER THAN ANY OF THE OTHER DOGS, HE'S ACTUALLY BEEN THERE FOR OVER 300 DAYS NOW. SO WE ARE DETERMINED TO FIND HIM HIS FOREVER FAMILY, JUST TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HIM, HE'S ABOUT THREE YEARS OLD, WE HAVE HIM LISTED AS A PIT BULL MIX. HE'S NEUTERED, MICROCHIPPED, VACCINATED, AND HEARTWORM NEGATIVE, HIS ADOPTION FEE IS ACTUALLY SPONSORED BY A VERY GENEROUS DONOR. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WITH FARMHOUSE FRESH AND THEY HAVE ALSO, THEY ARE ALSO OFFERING HIS ADOPTER A $100 VISA GIFT CARD A WEEK AFTER ADOPTION TO HELP GET HIM ANY SPECIAL THINGS THAT HE MIGHT NEED SO HE CAN BE SPOILED. AND WE ARE ALSO OFFERING FREE ADOPTION FOR ANY PET AT OUR SHELTER THIS WEEK AS WELL, BECAUSE WE ARE EXTREMELY OR CAPACITY RIGHT NOW, WE ACTUALLY HAVE OVER 350 ANIMALS IN OUR CARE AT THIS TIME. SO SO, IF ANYONE IS LOOKING TO ADOPT NOW IS THE GREAT TIME TO COME TO OUR SHELTER OR VISIT WITH OUR SHELTER PETS. WE HAVE ALL DIFFERENT SIZES, AGES. WE HAVE KITTENS, CATS, PUPPIES, PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING YOU MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR, BUT WE'RE REALLY, REALLY FOCUSED ON TRYING TO GET RICO A HOME THIS MONTH BECAUSE HE IS SUCH A SWEET BOY. SO IF YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO ADOPT, IF YOU COULD SPREAD THE WORD OF ANYONE THAT YOU MIGHT KNOW OF THAT'S LOOKING FOR A REALLY GOOD DOG, CONSIDERING HOW LONG HE'S BEEN IN THE SHELTER, HE'S ACTUALLY A REALLY, REALLY GOOD DOG BECAUSE, I MEAN, IT'S A LOT FOR A DOG TO BE IN A SHELTER FOR THAT LONG. SO HE'S AN AMAZING DOG AND I KNOW HE'LL DO GREAT IN A HOME ENVIRONMENT. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU.

LET'S SET THESE HERE AND HERE FOR THE MOMENT, AND SO IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD, HEARD, WE HAVE, BACK IN, GOSH, OCTOBER, IT SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE COMPLETED A VERY LENGTHY TWO YEAR, ALMOST COMPLETE RECONSTRUCTION OF, ACTUALLY, ACTUALLY A COMPLETE RECONSTRUCTION OF OUR DOWNTOWN SQUARE, IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAD DISCUSSED FOR MANY MORE YEARS THAN IT TOOK TO DO IT, AND THE, THE SQUARE OPENED BACK IN OCTOBER, AND I THINK SINCE THAT DAY TO THIS DAY,IGHT HERE, IT IS ABSOLUTELY PROBABLY THE MOST POPULAR SPOT IN GARLAND, TEXAS, AND THE PROJECT ITSELF, HAS HAS BROUGHT SO MUCH NEW EXCITEMENT AND NEW LIFE, TO OUR DOWNTOWN.
AND IT'S ONE THING TO HEAR ME SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S ONE THING TO HEAR OUR STAFF SAY THAT, BUT, THIS, LET'S SEE HERE WHICH ONE I'VE GOT HERE, THE DALLAS BUSINESS JOURNAL'S BEST REAL ESTATE DEALS AWARD, THE UNDER THE COMMUNITY IMPACT CATEGORY, GARLAND'S DOWNTOWN SQUARE AND STREETSCAPES PROJECT HAS WON THE DALLAS BUSINESS JOURNAL'S BEST REAL ESTATE DEALS AWARD IN THE COMMUNITY IMPACT CATEGORY. OUR PROJECT WAS ONE OF 55 FINALISTS, UP FOR THIS AWARD, WHICH HONORS CITIES, DEVELOPERS, ARCHITECTS, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS NORTH TEXAS. THE SQUARE AND OBVIOUSLY THE 14 BLOCKS OF STREETSCAPES WERE REBUILT OVER TWO YEARS TO CREATE A STRONGER SENSE OF CONNECTIVITY AND WALKABILITY. THIS DOWNTOWN MAKEOVER WAS A MASSIVE UNDERTAKING, REPRESENTING A FULL REDESIGN OF OVER 60,000FT■S. THE CONSTRUCTIN USED 45 TONS OF STRUCTURAL STEEL, FIVE TONS OF CONCRETE, 650 TONS OF STONE. IT ADDED 1300FT■S OF NEW SHADE STRUCTURES AND OVER 290 NEW LIGHT FIXTURES. 400FT OF WALL SEATING AND 100 NEW CHAIRS. THE REDESIGN ALSO INCLUDED EXTENSIVE LANDSCAPING WITH AN IMPRESSIVE 688 NEW TREES OVER 280 LARGE GRASSES AND PLANTS, AND 5000 PLUS FLOWERS AND SMALL PLANTS. THE SQUARE ITSELF NOW FEATURES A SWEEPING PROMENADE WITH AN EXPANSIVE RECREATIONAL LAWN FOR DAILY USE, AS WELL AS SPECIAL EVENTS INCLUDING CONCERTS. THE CHILDREN'S AREA WITH THE WATER FEATURE, SHADE PAVILION FOR SMALLER PROGRAMS AND OBVIOUSLY OUR COLORFUL GATEWAY FEATURE.

[8.a. Consider a request by U-Haul Company of East Dallas requesting to allow a U-Haul Truck Leasing Use. The site is located at 2502, 2504, & 2550 McCree Road in District 5.]
FOLLOWING ZONING CASE. ITEM EIGHT A CONSIDER A REQUEST BY U-HAUL COMPANY OF EAST DALLAS REQUESTING TO ALLOW A U-HAUL TRUCK LEASING USE. THIS SITE IS LOCATED AT 2502 2504 AND 2550 MCCREE ROAD IN DISTRICT FIVE. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL, TONIGHT'S CASE IS Z 2350. THE APPLICANT PROPOSES A TRUCK BUS SALES AND LEASE RENTAL USE IN AN EXISTING BUILDING. THE LOCATION IS 2502, 2504 AND 2550 MCCREE ROAD. IT IS 3.29 ACRES AND IS ZONED INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT. THE MAP SHOWS THE LOCATION WITHIN THE CITY AND THEN THE PROPERTY ALONG MCCREE ROAD TO THE NORTH.WE HAVE, A COMMERCIAL USES, GAS STATION. WE HAVE, TRAINING FACILITY, WHICH IS THE S 21 DASH 54 AND THEN PD 13 DASH 31 RESPECTIVELY, TO THE WEST WE HAVE PD 03-64, WHICH ALLOWS FOR
[00:20:05]
AUTO USE. AND THEN WE HAVE RELATED INDUSTRIAL USES. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IDENTIFIES THE AREA AS BUSINESS CENTER. THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP OF THE ENVISION GARLAND PLAN RECOMMENDS BUSINESS CENTERS FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY BUSINESS CENTERS PROVIDE A CLUSTER OF BUSINESS OFFICES AND OR LOW IMPACT INDUSTRY, INCLUDING CAMPUS TYPE DEVELOPMENT, THAT CUMULATIVELY EMPLOY LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE IN ADDITION, THE PROPOSAL FALLS WITHIN THE SOUTH GARLAND AVENUE CATALYST AREA THAT ENVISIONS REDEVELOPMENT WITHIN THIS AREA AND THE PROPOSED SITE DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS ELEVATE VISUAL ESTHETICS TO ENHANCE AN IMPORTANT GATEWAY INTO THE COMMUNITY. FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN. IT HIGHLIGHTS INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES, THE ROLE OF THE SMALLER BUILDING AND AVAILABILITY OF SPACE FOR EXPANSION, FOR FUTURE GOALS OF THE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT. THE PLAN NOTES THE AMOUNT OF AUTO RELATED USES IN GARLAND. HOWEVER, THIS PROJECT PROVIDES UPGRADES TO THE EXISTING SITE, MODERNIZES ONE OF THE SMALLER BUILDINGS WITHIN THE DISTRICT, AND STILL ALLOWS SPACE FOR FUTURE EXPANSION WITHIN THE SITE AND THE AREA. THE PHOTO SHOWS THE VIEW OF THE SUBJECT SITE LOOKING WEST. THIS IS THE EXISTING BUILDING, THE VIEW LOOKING EAST AT SOUTH GARLAND AVENUE. THEN WE HAVE A VIEW FROM THE SUBJECT SITE LOOKING NORTH UP SOUTH GARLAND AVENUEA VIEW OF THE SITE LOOKING SOUTH. A VIEW OF THE EXISTING BUILDING LOOKING SOUTH, AND A VIEW OF THE CORNER OF THE SITE ON MCCREE ROAD AND SOUTH GARLAND AVENUE. I WILL HIGHLIGHT THIS AREA IF YOU CAN SEE WITH MY MOUSE, THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT IN MORE DETAIL, WHICH IS THIS CONCRETE RAMP AND CONCRETE AREA. AS WE TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN, I'LL START WITH THE AREA THAT I JUST HIGHLIGHTED, THIS IS WHERE THAT RAMP AND THAT CONCRETE AREA ARE LOCATED. THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED LANDSCAPING ALONG MCCREE AND SOUTH GARLAND ROAD, AS WELL AS THE CONCRETE AREA.REMOVING THE RAMP, TO ENHANCE THE, BEAUTIFICATION OF THE AREA. THE EXISTING BUILDING IS LOCATED HERE. AND WHILE THE COLORS SHOW TWO DISTINCT COLORS, IT IS NOT MEANT TO IMPLY TWO DIFFERENT USES. IT IS ONLY TO SHARE THAT THERE MAY BE SOME RETAIL SERVICES THAT ARE PART OF THE BUILDING ITSELF, SOMETHING THAT COMPLEMENTS THE PRIMARY USE. THE EXISTING PARKING IS SHOWN HERE, AND THEN WE HAVE SOME AREA FOR MOVING TRUCKS AROUND ON THE PROPERTY SITE. THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS SHOW THE NORTH ELEVATION, ALONG WITH SIGNAGE, WHICH WE WILL TALK ABOUT IN MORE DETAIL, AS WELL AS THE EAST ELEVATIO. HERE WE HAVE THE SOUTH ELEVATION AND THE WEST ELEVATION, ALONG WITH SIGNAGE. EXCUSE ME THAT WE WILL ALSO TALK ABOUT. HERE WE SHOW THE LANDSCAPED AREA THAT I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, WHERE THERE IS THE CONCRETE AREA AND THE RAMP. WE ALSO SHOW THAT THOSE BAYS THAT WERE PART OF THE EXISTING BUILDING ARE REMOVED. SO WE WILL NOT HAVE THE REPAIR BAYS THAT WE'RE SEEING ON THE ORIGINAL BUILDING. AND AGAIN, ANOTHER ELEVATION OF THE BUILDING. TO REFER TO THE SIGNAGE, THE ATTACHED SIGNAGE ON THE NORTH FACING ELEVATION IS ALLOWED 51FT■S PER THE GDC. THE APPLICAT PROPOSES AT 100 SQUARE FOOT SIGNAGE. THROUGH THIS PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, THE SIGNAGE ON THE EAST FACING ELEVATION IS ALLOWED 100FT■S PER THE GDC. THE APPLICANT PROPOSES A 200FT■S SIGNAGE THROUGH THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT. THE ATTACHED SIGNAGE ON THE SOUTH FACING ELEVATION IS ALLOWED 51FT■S PER THE GDC, AND THE APPLICANT PROPOSES 125FT■S OF SIGNAGE THROUGH THE PLAN.
DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT. THE APPLICANT PROPOSES SIGNAGE ON THE WEST FACING ELEVATION AT 175FT■S OF SIGNAGE, WHICH IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE 200FT■S PER THE GDC. THESE ARE CONDITIONS THAT WILL BE CAPTURED AS A PART OF THE PD CONDITIONS FOR THE APPLICANT AT THE AT THE RECOMMENDATION OF STAFF. ALSO PROPOSES TO PROHIBIT THE LLOWING LAND USES FROM THIS PROPERTY. HIGH RISK USE HEAVY MACHINERY SALES, RENTAL STORAGE AND REPAIR. ANIMAL FEED PROCESSING AND STORAGE. IMPOUND LOT. COMMERCIAL AND PRIVATE RECYCLING. SALVAGE YARD.
UNLIMITED OUTDOOR STORAGE AS WELL AS RECYCLING. SALVAGE YARD. NO OUTSIDE STORAGE. CONTRACTORS OFFICE AND STORAGE YARD, INCLUDING OUTSIDE STORAGE AND SEXUALLY ORIENTED BUSINESSES AS THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED. RETAIL STORE AS A PERMITTED USE. IT IS CURRENTLY NOT PERMITTED
[00:25:05]
UNDER INDUSTRIAL USES, AS SHOWN IN THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. THE APPLICANT PROPOSES LANDSCAPING ON THE SITE AT THE RECOMMENDATION OF STAFF, AND SO THE APPLICANT HAS WORKED WITH STAFF TO HELP TO ACCOMPLISH SOME OF THOSE CITY GOALS FOR IMPROVING THE GATEWAY ALONG GARLAND ROAD. STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS APPROVAL OF A CHANGE IN ZONING FROM INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT PROVISION FOR A TRUCK BUS SALES AND LEASING, RENTAL USE AND A DETAILED PLAN FOR TRUCK BUS SALES AND LEASING. RENTAL USE. THIS WOULD INCLUDE THE BASE ZONING FOR INDUSTRIAL, ALL WITH THE REMOVAL OF THE USES THAT WE'VE MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY AND THE ADDITION OF THE RETAIL USE. THE APPLICANT HAS WORKED WITH STAFF ON A PROPOSAL THAT REPRESENTS A PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENT OF THE SITE OVER THE EXISTING CONDITIONS, INCLUDING THE ADDITION OF LANDSCAPING AND THE REMOVAL OF THE REPAIR BAY DOORS. IN ADDITION, THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO PROHIBIT CERTAIN USES ON THE SITE AS NOTED IN THE STAFF REPORT. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT PER THE APPLICANT, THE NUMBER OF U-HAUL TRUCK DISPLAY SPACES ALONG SOUTH GARLAND ROAD AND MCCREE ROAD HAVE BEEN LIMITED AND I BELIEVE THAT'S TO SIX. HOWEVER, GIVEN THE SUBJECT PROPERTY'S LOCATION AS A GATEWAY WITHIN A CATALYST AREA, CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO A SHORTER SUP TIME PERIOD THAN THE REQUESTED 30 YEARS. STAFF RECOMMENDS A TIME PERIOD OF 10 TO 15 YEARS. PLAN COMMISSION ON MAY 13TH, 2024, WITH A 7 TO 0 VOTE. RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF A CHANGE IN ZONING FROM INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT TO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT. A SPECIFIC USE PROVISION FOR A TRUCK, BUS SALES AND LEASING RENTAL USE THAT WOULD BE ONE ALLOWED USE BY SUP AND A DETAILED PLAN FOR THE TRUCK, BUS SALES AND LEASING RENTAL USE WITH A CONDITION THAT THE PD AND SUP CONDITIONS CLEARLY INCLUDE THE PERMITTED USES ON THE SITE AND LIMIT IT ACCORDINGLY, SPECIFICALLY THE LAND USE BEING PROPOSED. TRUCK BUS SALES AND LEASING. RENTAL USE IN ADDITION, THE PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDED A SPECIFIC USE PROVISION TIME PERIOD OF 20 YEARS. THE DRAFT PD AND SUP CONDITIONS REFLECT THE PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION. WE MAILED 47 NOTICE. WE RECEIVED TWO RESPONSES WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION SEVEN. BOTH WERE IN FAVOR OF THE RESPONSE. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? VERY GOOD. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS ITEM? MAYOR PRO TEM BASS, THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. ANGELA, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE, SLIDE WHERE IT HAS THE DIFFERENT, ZONING AROUND THE SUBJECT PROPERTY? OH, SURE. YES OKAY. AND SO ON, PD, WAS IT 0364 IS SO IS THAT THE MAIN U-HAUL THAT'S THERE RIGHT NOW? 0364 IS ACTUALLY, THAT PARTICULAR SITE IS FOR SCP. I'M SORRY. THAT PARTICULAR SITE ALLOWS FOR AN AUTOMOBILE DEALERSHIP. IT IS CURRENTLY UNDEVELOPED. OKAY, WHERE'S THE U-HAUL RIGHT NOW ON HERE? CURRENTLY, THEIR PROPERTY IS ALONG THIS AREA. OKAY. AND THEN HERE. OKAY. SO CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THE ZONING OF THE EXISTING U-HAUL? THAT'S THAT'S THERE, FOR THE EXISTING SUBJECT PROPERTY, IT IS INDUSTRIAL AS WELL AS THIS PARTICULAR BUILDING FOR PD 1927, THAT IS FOR A TRUCK, BUS OR SALES FOR THE SAME TYPE OF USE, IT ALSO ALLOWS THE RETAIL SALES WITHOUT OUTSIDE DISPLAY. EXCUSE ME. SO IT'S A SIMILAR REQUEST. OKAY SO THERE'S SO ON THE EXISTING U-HAUL'S THAT ARE THERE, ARE THERE ANY SUP TIMELINES ASSOCIATED WITH THEM OR THE EXISTING, I WILL HAVE TO, RESEARCH THAT FOR YOU. THE TIME PERIOD. OKAY. YOU HAVE THAT INFORMATION. I'LL RESEARCH THAT FOR YOU. OKAY THANK YOU SIR.THANK YOU MAYOR. OKAY COUNSELOR. LOOK, MISS SELF, WILL YOU GO OVER JUST THE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION AND THE PLAN COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION FOR THE PD? YES, MA'AM. SO THE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES WOULD BE THAT FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION, WE ALLOW AN INDUSTRIAL BASE FOR THE ZONING. SO ALL THE USES THAT ARE ALLOWED UNDER INDUSTRIAL WOULD BE ALLOWED, MINOR. THE USES THAT WE HAVE REMOVED IN, COORDINATION WITH THE APPLICANT AND THOSE ARE LISTED IN THE BULLET THAT ARE THIRD FROM THE BOTTOM. THE ADDITION WOULD BE THAT A RETAIL STORE USE WOULD BE ALLOWED BY. RIGHT. SO THAT WOULD BE STAFF RECOMMENDATION UNDER PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION, ONLY ONE USE WOULD BE ALLOWED BY SCP, BUT
[00:30:07]
THEY WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO SELL BOXES AND PACKAGING AND TRAILER HITCHES AND PROPANE. THAT IS CORRECT. THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT. SO THERE IS A RETAIL COMPONENT TO IT. IT'S JUST NOT SPECIFICALLY STATED. THAT IS CORRECT, WOULD WOULD THEY BE ABLE TO BUILD A STORAGE UNIT UNDER STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION? THEY WOULD IF THAT. THAT IS A ALLOWED USE UNDER INDUSTRIAL. SO THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED. WOULD THEY BE ABLE TO UNDER THE PLAN COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION? THEY WOULD NOT. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. VERY GOOD. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS ITEM, COUNSELOR WILLIAMS? THANK YOU. MAYOR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. WOULD YOU PUT THE SLIDE UP THERE WHERE YOU SHOW THE SIGNAGE? YES SIR. PLEASE.WOULD YOU LIKE THE RECOMMENDATION OR THE ELEVATIONS, THE ELEVATION? OKAY.
OKAY NOW WOULD YOU WITH THAT UP, WOULD YOU WALK AGAIN THROUGH THE VARIATIONS DIMENSIONS ON THOSE SIGNAGE AND THE DIRECTIONS? I'M PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN SIGNAGE THAT IS GOING TO BE FACING LBJ, BUT WOULD YOU WALK THROUGH THOSE RENDERINGS DIRECTIONAL WISE? ABSOLUTELY. SO HERE WE HAVE THE NORTH ELEVATION , AND I WILL JUST FOLLOW MY LIST SO I CAN READ IT, IT ALL AT THE SAME TIME FOR THE NORTH FACING ELEVATION, THE GDC ALLOWS 51FT■. THE PROPOSAL IS 100FT■S OF SIGNAGE. SO THE NORTH ELEVATION THAT YOU SEE HERE, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING 100FT■S OF SIGNAGE AND GDC PERMITS, WHAT, 51FT■S? OKAY, GREAT. OKAY. FOR THE EAST ELEVATION, WHICH IS HERE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SLIDE. AND THE PROPOSAL IS FOR 200FT■S OF SIGNAGE. THE GDC ALLOWS 100FT■S OF SIGNAGE. OKAY OKAY. HERE AT THE TOP WE HAVE THE SOUTH ELEVATION. THE PROPOSAL IS FOR 125FT■S OF SIGNAGE. THE THE GDC ALLOWS 51FT■S OF SIGNAGE. OKAY, SO IF I'M HEARING CORRECTLY, ALL OF THE SIGNAGE REQUESTS ARE ESSENTIALLY DOUBLING WHAT THE GDC PERMITS. CORRECT. THAT WOULD BE AN ACCURATE ASSESSMENT. OKAY ALL RIGHT. AND THEN FINALLY, FOR THE WEST ELEVATION, JUST TO INCLUDE THAT THEY ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE GDC WITH THEIR REQUEST OF 175FT■S, THE GC ALLOWS 200FT■S. OKAY AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION, INCLUSIVE OF THE SIGNAGE REQUEST IS STAFF.
ACCEPTS THE, THE FLEXIBILITY THAT THEY'VE REQUESTED AND SO IT WOULD APPROVE THE SIGNAGE PER THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, AS REQUESTED. YES, SIR. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MA'AM. THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU SIR. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? THANK YOU. ANGELA, MADAM SPEAKER , IF YOU COULD CALL, MADAM SECRETARY, IF YOU COULD CALL THIS, YOU GOT A LITTLE RAISE THERE IF YOU COULD CALL OUR FIRST SPEAKER, PLEASE, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

IT'S UP TO YOU. WE'LL MAKE IT QUICK. SO, MATT MERRILL, 2502 MCCREE ROAD IN GARLAND, TEXAS, THE STAFF DID A GREAT JOB DOINGNG TE PRESENTATION. I'M HERE TONIGHT TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND ASK FOR THE COUNCIL'S SUPPORT ON OUR INITIAL SUBMISSION TO THE, THAT THE US WE'VE WORKED WITH STAFF ON. OKAY, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

SO, COULD YOU TELL US THE REASON FOR ASKING FOR SUCH A LONG SUP, WE'VE BEEN IN WE'VE BEEN OPERATING THERE SINCE 1979, AND WE DON'T INTEND ON GOING ANYWHERE. JUST WE'RE A LONG TERM COMMITMENT THERE. WE JUST DID A, PROBABLY $25 MILLION WORTH OF EXPANSION, JUST A LITTLE BIT TO THE WEST OF THERE WITH OUR REPAIR FACILITY AND A LARGE STORAGE FACILITY. AND CONTINUE TO INVEST IN THE COMMUNITY THERE. AWESOME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR. VERY GOOD. AND COUNCILOR WILLIAMS, THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT, THANK YOU FOR INVESTING

SO WALK ME THROUGH YOUR YOUR YOUR YOUR SIGNAGE REQUEST, ON THIS FACILITY. SO THE, THE SIGNAGE REQUEST ON THERE SIMPLY JUST IDENTIFIES WHAT WE'RE OFFERING IN THE BUILDING, IT TALKS ABOUT THE MOVING SUPPLIES, THE STORAGE, AND REALLY, IT'S JUST OUR AS OUR OVERALL ADVERTISING, WE LIMITED A LOT OF THE DISPLAY THAT WE'RE DOING TOWARDS MCCREE AND TO GARLAND ROAD, THE YOUR STORAGE PLACE AS SOMETHING THAT WE LIKE TO ADD ON THE BUILDING. THAT'S THE LARGEST, DEVIATION. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT I SHOWED, COUNCILMAN LUCK AND THE CITY STAFF, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY, THEY LIKED IN THAT THAT SCRIPT OF WRITING, THE REST OF THEM ARE JUST SOME OF OUR STANDARD ADVERTISING, AND IT'S GREATLY REDUCED COMPARED TO OUR FACILITIES THAT WE'RE BUILDING TODAY. OKAY.
