ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION

[b. Consider a request by Mission Ridge Consultants, requesting approval of 1) amendment to Planned Development (PD) District 05-36 to allow a Warehouse Office/Showroom Use by SUP, 2) allow Community Retail uses and other provisions, 3) a Specific Use Provision for a Warehouse Office/Showroom use and 4) a concept plan for a Warehouse Office/Showroom use at this location. The site is located at 2801 Belt Line Road in District 7.]

THAT'S ITEM 13 B CONSIDER A REQUEST BY MISSION RIDGE CONSULTANTS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF ONE, AN AMENDMENT TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT ZERO 536 TO ALLOW A WAREHOUSE OFFICE SLASH SHOWROOM USE BY SP AND TO ALLOW COMMUNITY RETAIL USES AND OTHER PROVISIONS. THREE A SPECIFIC USE PROVISION FOR A WAREHOUSE, OFFICE, SHOWROOM USE AND FOR A CONCEPT PLAN FOR A WAREHOUSE OFFICE SHOWROOM USE AT THIS LOCATION. THE SITE IS LOLOCATED AT 2801 BELTLINE ROAD IN DISTRICT SEVEN. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR, FOR THE RECORD, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND

[00:20:06]

DEVELOPMENT. AS YOU MENTIONED, THIS REQUEST HAS A COUPLE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS TO IT.

NUMBER ONE, THIS IS CURRENTLY ZONED A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW THE PROPOSED USE. THE PROPOSED USE IS A WAREHOUSE OFFICE SHOWROOM WHICH IS NOT PERMITTED AT ALL WITHIN THIS PD. SO THE REQUEST NUMBER ONE IS TO ALLOW THAT USE WITHIN THIS PD TO AMEND THIS PD.

TO ALLOW THIS USE USING AN SP, AND ALSO AMEND THIS PD TO ALLOW OTHER COMMUNITY RETAIL USES.

AND THEN THE SECOND PART IS TO APPROVE THE SUP FOR THE WAREHOUSE OFFICE SHOWROOM USE ON THIS PROPERTY. THE LOCATION IS 2801 BELTLINE ROAD. IT'S A 1.45 ACRE PROPERTY. AS I MENTIONED, ZONING IS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZERO 536. SO IT IS A FAIRLY OLD PD, ABOUT 20 YEARS OLD, AND THE BASE BASS BASE USES THAT ARE ALLOWED ARE FROM HEAVY COMMERCIAL USES. HERE YOU SEE THE SITE IN TEAL. IT IS A IT IS SORT OF A NARROW, SKINNY PIECE OF PROPERTY. WHAT'S SURROUNDING IT. THERE ARE LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE SURROUNDING THIS. THIS SITE TO THE SOUTH ACROSS BELTLINE, YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT TO THE TO THE WEST THERE THERE WAS A SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD. HOWEVER, ALONG BELTLINE, THERE ARE SEVERAL COMMERCIAL COMMUNITY RETAIL TYPE USES, AND TO THE EAST THERE ARE SOME INSTITUTIONAL USES AS WELL. THE COMP PLAN CALLS THIS AREA OUT FOR COMPACT NEIGHBORHOODS. COMPACT NEIGHBORHOODS PROVIDE AREAS FOR MODERATE INCREASES IN RESIDENTIAL DENSITY, INCLUDING SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED AND SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOUSING. HOWEVER, THIS IS AN ALREADY DEVELOPED SITE. IT ALREADY HAS A BUILDING IN IT. IT USED TO BE UTILIZED FOR SLIGHTLY MORE INTENSIVE USE THAN WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED TODAY. IT USED TO HAVE A MANUFACTURING TYPE USE. THE APPLICANT CAN EXPLAIN THAT USE SLIGHTLY FURTHER, BUT UNDER THE CURRENT GDC, THAT USE IS CONSIDERED MORE ON THE MANUFACTURING SIDE AND MORE ON THE HEAVIER SIDE, AS OPPOSED TO WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED IS A LITTLE BIT LESS INTENSIVE. HERE ARE THE SITE PHOTOS, AS YOU COULD SEE VIEW OF THE SUBJECT SITE FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES. THEY'RE NOT PROPOSING ANY IMPROVEMENTS OR ANY CHANGES TO THE SITE. THEY'RE PROPOSING TO USE THIS BUILDING AS IT IS FOR AN ADAPTIVE REUSE FOR A DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT USE PER THE LAND USE MATRIX. THERE'S A CONCEPT PLAN, WHICH IS BASICALLY THE AS BUILT PLAN. AS YOU COULD SEE, THIS IS THE EXISTING BUILDING PARKINGS MOSTLY BEHIND THE BUILDING. THIS IS BELTLINE. THE PARKING WILL SUFFICE. THE PROPOSED USE AS WELL. A COUPLE AMENDMENTS THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING. THAT KIND OF DOES CONTRIBUTE TOWARD MAKING THIS SITE A LITTLE MORE PALATABLE TO THE SURROUNDING SURROUNDING USES, PER OUR GDC, 25% IS THE MINIMUM FOR AN OFFICE USE IN A WAREHOUSE SHOWROOM CLASSIFICATION. THEY'RE OFFERING A MINIMUM OF 30%, SO THEY'RE UPPING THE PERCENTAGE OF OFFICE. NO MANUFACTURING IS BEING PERMITTED. THAT IS SPECIFICALLY BEING SPELLED OUT IN THE CONDITIONS THEY'RE KEEPING THE EXISTING BUILDING FOOTPRINT, PARKING AND LANDSCAPING. ALL OF THAT WILL REMAIN THE SAME. THERE IS ALREADY A EXISTING LANDSCAPING ALONG BELTLINE. HOWEVER, IF THEY DO ANY FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS, THOUGH, ANY IMPROVEMENTS WILL NEED TO ADHERE TO THE CURRENT DEVELOPMENT CODE. OUR RECOMMENDATION IS APPROVAL. WITH 5 TO 10 YEARS FOR THE SDP, AND THE REASON WE ARE LOOKING INTO A SHORTER TIME FRAME IS BECAUSE THE BUILDING'S ALREADY THERE. IT'S AN IMPROVED SITE.

IT'S A USE GOING INTO AN EXISTING BUILDING. IF THE USE DOES CONTINUE AND DOES IS CONTINUES TO BECOME A PART OF THE COMMUNITY AND EMBRACED. AND THERE'S NO ISSUES WITH THIS USE THAN IN FIVE, 5 TO 10 YEARS. THE APPLICANT CAN COME BACK AND RENEW IT. HOWEVER, IF THEY DON'T WANT TO RENEW IT. OTHER COMMUNITY RETAIL USES CAN GO IN IN THAT BUILDING. PLANNING COMMISSION ALSO RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, BUT THEY RECOMMEND IT FOR TEN YEARS. WE DID SEND OUT 41 LETTERS. WE RECEIVED FOUR RESPONSES FROM WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION AREA. THOSE FOUR DOES CONSIST 37.2% OPPOSITION FOR GARLAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AND FOR TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT

[00:25:08]

CODE. 20% AND ABOVE REQUIRES A SUPERMAJORITY VOTE FROM CITY COUNCIL. CITY ATTORNEY CAN CHIME IN ON THAT AND PROVIDE FURTHER GUIDANCE, BUT THE PERCENTAGE OF OPPOSITION IS 37.2. WITH THAT, WE'RE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. COUNCIL, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF ON THIS ITEM? COUNCILMEMBER WILLIAMS, THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION WAS TEN YEARS AND THE YEARS YEARS IS TEN HOURS IS 5 TO 10 YEARS. 5 TO 10. CORRECT. WHAT WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? THERE'S NOT REALLY A DIFFERENCE. WE'RE OKAY WITH TEN YEARS AS WELL. WE WANTED TO PROVIDE PLAN COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL A RANGE. IF COUNCIL WANTED TO GO LOWER THAN TEN YEARS WE THINK FIVE. 5 TO 10 YEARS ANYWHERE BETWEEN THAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR THIS PROPOSAL. OKAY. AND SECONDLY, THE THE FOR RESPONSES THAT YOU GOT THAT WERE THAT WERE NEGATIVE. WHAT WAS THE GIST OF THOSE COMPLAINTS. THE LETTERS WERE SENT TO YOU EARLIER TODAY.

THERE WEREN'T NOT THAT MANY COMMENT LETTERS AS YOU COULD SEE. IT'S FOUR PEOPLE. BUT ONE COMMENT THAT THEY THAT WE HAVE, THEY SAID WE BELIEVE THIS WILL CAUSE UNNECESSARY COMMOTION AND TRAFFIC ISSUES. THIS IS A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND HOME TO MANY SENIORS, INCLUDING MYSELF, WHO WILL BE GREATLY IMPACTED BY THIS PROPOSAL. I'M JUST READING THE COMMENT FROM THERE, BUT FOR THE OTHERS, THERE WERE NOT COMMENTS PROVIDED WITH THEIR RESPONSE. HOWEVER, WE REMEMBER ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS DID COME AND SPOKE AT THE AT THE PLAN COMMISSION MEETING. THEY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT AN EASEMENT THAT EXISTS ON THE PROPERTY BETWEEN THEIR PROPERTY AND THE ADJACENT ISLAMIC INSTITUTE, I BELIEVE, AND THEIR THEIR CONCERN WAS WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THAT EASEMENT? AND THAT'S ON THE PLAT. NOTHING IS CHANGING ON THAT. THIS IS ONLY A VACANT BUILDING BEING OCCUPIED WITH ANOTHER USE. SO WHATEVER'S ON THE PLATFORM, EASEMENT OR ACCESS, ALL OF THOSE WILL REMAIN AS IS. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MAYOR.

THANK YOU SIR. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF ON THIS ITEM? MADAM SECRETARY, IS THE APPLICANT HERE? YES, SIR. PLEASE CALL THEM SKY THIBODEAU. GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. FOR THE RECORD, YOU HAVE TEN MINUTES. THANK YOU. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THIBODEAU WITH MISSION RIDGE CONSULTANTS, P.O. BOX 260203, PLANO, TEXAS. AND THANK YOU, CITY SECRETARY. YOU GOT A LITTLE BIT CLOSER THIS TIME. LAST TIME, YOU DIDN'T EVEN ATTEMPT THE LAST NAME. SO THIBODEAU IS THE LAST NAME. AND I'M HERE TO REPRESENT THE THE INTENDED USER. PHOENIX ARCHITECTURAL HARDWARE GROUP STAFF IS ALWAYS DID A GREAT JOB TALKING ABOUT THE SITE AND THE CONTEXT ASSOCIATED WITH IT. I JUST WANTED TO POINT YOU TO THE CLEAR AERIAL LOOKING AT OUR SURROUNDING SURROUNDING USES. COMMERCIAL SELF STORAGE, LIMITED RESIDENTIAL NEARBY TO THE NORTH AND WEST TO TALK ABOUT OUR PROPOSED USE. AGAIN, THIS IS A LOT LIKE 17751. JOYCE.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO WE WERE KIND OF CAUGHT IN THIS, YOU KNOW, WHAT KIND OF USE DO WE CHOOSE? WHAT DEFINITION DOES IT HAVE? WE FEEL LIKE THIS. YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THIS IS THE CLOSEST THING THE CODE ALLOWS US. BUT WE REALLY ARE PRETTY DIFFERENT FROM THE OFFICE, WAREHOUSE AND SHOWROOM COMPONENT. THE ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE SITE IS REALLY TO BE A QUIET NEIGHBOR. THERE WILL BE NO OUTSIDE STORAGE, NO MANUFACTURING ON THE ON THE SITE, AS WAS KIND OF DONE WITH THE PREVIOUS USER. THE WAY THIS INTENDS TO WORK IS THE SECOND LOCATION FOR PHOENIX ARCHITECTURAL HARDWARE. THEIR MAIN LOCATION IS OUT OF MONROE, NORTH CAROLINA, AND THIS ISN'T SOMETHING TO ATTRACT MOTORISTS THAT ARE DRIVING NEARBY. THIS IS REALLY JUST TO HOUSE AND WAREHOUSE THE MATERIALS I'M ABOUT TO SHOW YOU HERE ON THE NEXT SLIDE, AND THEN THERE WOULD BE ANY KIND OF VISIT WOULD BE AN OFFICE TYPE CONSULTATION WITH THE CLIENT, WHICH WOULD BE ACTUALLY NOT A VERY COMMON SITUATION. YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE CLIENTS THAT HAVE LARGE ORDERS THAT WANT TO USE THE MATERIALS TO, YOU KNOW, REDEVELOP OICES, COMMERCIAL, THOSE KIND OF ESTABLISHMENTS. SO THIS IS REALLY WHAT THAT IS FOR. BUT CAPTURING A MOTORIST DRIVING BY AND EXPECTING THEM TO COME IN AND MAKE A RETAIL TRANSACTION, THAT'S NOT THE INTENT HERE. IT'S REALLY TO BE A PRETTY QUIET ESTABLISHMENT ACTUALLY. SO YOU CAN SEE THE MATERIALS THEY SELL HERE. IT'S COMMERCIAL GRADE STAINLESS

[00:30:06]

STEEL LOCKS, HANDLES. THAT'S A CONTROL ARM ON THE BOTTOM. YOU SEE THESE ON DOORS. WHAT THIS SAYS TO ME IS ACTUALLY THIS IS A VERY ENCOURAGING. THIS IS THE TYPE OF BUSINESS THAT COMES IN.

AND THEY SELL MATERIALS TO PEOPLE DOING THINGS LIKE COMMERCIAL FINISH OUTS, YOU KNOW, REUSE OF EXISTING BUILDINGS, THAT KIND OF THING. SO NEW DEVELOPMENT, REDEVELOPMENT. SO THIS SHOWS THAT THEY'RE COMING TO THE MARKET TO MEET THE DEMAND FOR, FOR THESE KIND OF MATERIALS, WHICH IS ASSOCIATED WITH GROWTH AND REDEVELOPMENT OF KIND OF COMMERCIAL SPACES AND OFFICE SPACES. SO IN REGARD TO PUBLIC OUTREACH, AS ALWAYS, GARLAND IS REALLY GREAT ABOUT BEING RESPONSIVE TO AND COMMUNICATIVE THROUGH THE PROCESS WITH US. SO WE MET WITH CM THOMAS AND JUST DISCUSSED OUR INTENT FOR THE SITE. THERE WERE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ANTICIPATED EMPLOYMENT AND DISTRIBUTION ACTIVITIES IN REGARD TO THE ANTICIPATED EMPLOYMENT. THERE WOULD BE ABOUT 5 OR 6 EMPLOYEES ON THE SITE. THAT'S ALL THAT'S REALLY EXPECTED. IT'S REALLY JUST TO CONTROL THE WAREHOUSE KIND OF THE INTERNAL ACTIVITIES GOING ON, AND TO TAKE PRIMARILY THOSE ONLINE ORDERS AND TO MEET WITH PEOPLE COMING IN FOR THE ODD CONSULTATION THAT MIGHT HAPPEN ACTUALLY IN PERSON, OF COURSE, WE SESENT LETTE TO ALL OF OUR SURROUNDING COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORS. WE ACTUALLY DID NOT RECEIVE MUCH OF RESPONSE, BUT DID REACH OUT TO THOSE WHO WERE NOT IN WHO EXPRESSED OPPOSITION TO OUR CASE. I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT HERE IN A SECOND, IN MORE DETAIL. SO IN LOOKING AT STAFF'S STAFF REPORT, WE WERE REALLY HAPPY TO SEE THAT WE'RE REALLY LOOKING AT THIS THROUGH A SIMILAR ECONOMIC LENS. GARLAND REALLY PLACES A HIGH FOCUS ON THE EXISTING INVENTORY. AND HOW DO YOU REINVEST AND MAKE SURE THAT THE EXISTING INVENTORY STAYS FRUITFUL AND USE. SO THAT'S WHAT WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE DOING IN THE VISION AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES PORTIONS OF THE COMP PLAN. THESE ARE THE AREAS THAT WE ARE DIRECTLY HITTING. AS IT RELATES TO PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE GROWTH. WE'RE LEVERAGING THE EXISTING BUILDING AS IT EXISTS. AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS WE'RE NOT PUTTING AN UNDUE RESTRAINT ON THE ON THE CITY INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEM.

YOU CAN SEE THE SITE IS VERY LONG AND NARROW. SO ANY KIND OF REDEVELOPMENT THERE WOULD PROBABLY CREATE KIND OF A SITUATION WHERE THE INFRASTRUCTURE WOULD TAKE A PRETTY HIGH IMPACT FOR ANYTHING THAT IS A KIND OF A MORE INTENSE USE. YOU THINK ABOUT MORE OFFICE BUILDINGS OR MORE BATHROOMS, THAT KIND OF THING THAT WOULD ACTUALLY CHANGE KIND OF THE SITUATION WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE ALONG BELTLINE ROAD. BUT WE'RE JUST USING WHAT'S THERE EFFICIENTLY. AND THIS MOVING INTO THE SECOND LOCATION FOR PHOENIX HARDWARE, IT SPEAKS DIRECTLY TO THE GLOBAL GLOBALLY CONNECTED BUSINESS HUB VISION THAT THAT GARLAND HAS. AND LIKE WE WERE SAYING, THE PLAN CALLS FOR STRATEGIC INVESTMENT AND INFILL AND REINVESTMENT. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE DOING, AND WE'RE ALIGNING WITH THAT NEED.

SO WE AVOID ANY KIND OF DECLINE IN RESOURCES, TAX BASE AND SERVICES. THE DISCUSSION AT CPC LAST MONTH, WE HAD THE QUESTION ABOUT ACCESS. SO THIS WAS THE ISLAMIC SCHOOL. THAT IS TO THE NORTHEAST OF OUR SITE. THERE WAS A COUPLE CONCERNS THAT THEY HAD. I THINK IT WAS A MISPERCEPTION ABOUT THE USE ITSELF, THE ACTIVITY OF TRUCKS COMING IN AND THEIR STUDENTS.

BUT REALLY AS IT RELATES TO DISTRIBUTION, ANY KIND OF LARGE 18 WHEELERS, THOSE KIND OF PICK UP DROP OFFS IN A MAJOR AT A MAJOR LEVEL WILL ONLY HAPPEN ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. YOU WILL HAVE THE TYPICAL WHAT'S TYPICAL WITH OFFICE AND COMMERCIAL AREAS. YOU'LL HAVE FEDEX AND UPS DISTRIBUTION, WHICH IS JUST NORMAL AND PRETTY LOW ON THE IMPACT SCALE. BUT WE WILL NOT HAVE TRUCKS COMING IN AND OUT OF THE THE PROPERTY ON A CONSISTENT BASIS, AGAIN, JUST MAYBE ONCE A MONTH FOR A LARGE ORDER AND THEN THE USE AGAIN, I'VE READ THE THE FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBOR EARLIER TODAY. WHEN IT WAS SENT TO US, WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED THAT PERSON. THEY LEFT THEIR NUMBER. I WAS UNFORTUNATELY NOT ABLE TO GET AHOLD OF THEM BY PHONE. FOLLOW UP WITH AN EMAIL. IT LOOKED LIKE TRAFFIC AND COMMOTION WAS THEIR CONCERN. AGAIN, WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING ON THE OUTSIDE. THERE'S GOING TO BE NO MANUFACTURING AND WE ARE NOT LOOKING TO ATTRACT ANY MOTORISTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN A RETAIL SENSE. SO WE FEEL LIKE THE PROPERTY WILL ACTUALLY BE WAY LESS INTENSIVE THAN WHAT WAS THERE BEFORE. AND WE RECEIVED A RECOMMENDATION OF APOVAL BY UNANIMOUS VOTE BY BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION. AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT. GO FIRST TO COUNCILMEMBER DUTTON. I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT YOUR DELIVERIES. EVEN IF IT'S ONCE A MONTH, THIS IS A VERY NARROW SPOT. SO WHERE WOULD THOSE DELIVERY TRUCKS ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO OFFLOAD? YEAH, SO THAT WOULD BE IN THE BACK. LUCKILY THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM BACK THERE FOR A TURNAROUND SITUATION. AND THERE'S IF YOU

[00:35:03]

LOOK AT THE ACCESS DRIVES THAT ARE ESTABLISHED THERE WITH EASEMENTS, THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM FOR THEM TO COME IN SAFELY, PARK, UNLOAD AND GET OUT OF THERE VERY EFFICIENTLY. OKAY.

GREAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MA'AM. COUNCILMEMBER THOMAS, GOOD EVENING, MR. THIBODEAU.

GOOD TO TALK TO YOU AGAIN. I, I HAVE GONE BY AND I DID GO BY AND LOOK AT THE BUILDING AND TO, TO ME, THIS SEEMS LIKE AN EXCELLENT REUSE OF AN EXISTING STRUCTURE. YOU NEED A COAT OF PAINT AND SOME FURNITURE AND FIXTURES AND YOU'RE IN BUSINESS. MAYBE SOME FLOWERS IN THOSE FLOWER BEDS IS THE ONLY IMPROVEMENTS TO THE OUTSIDE YOU NEED. BUT I LOOKED AT THAT, AND I'M PLEASED TO HEAR 5 OR 6 NEW JOBS COMING TO DISTRICT SEVEN. THOSE ARE MUCH APPRECIATED. I KIND OF I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SOME OF THE SCHOOLS NEARBY THAT WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT TRAFFIC.

WHEN IT'S PRETTY WELL KNOWN THOSE SCHOOLS BACK UP TRAFFIC FOR HALF A MILE IN EVERY DIRECTION MORNING AND EVENING, AND FOR THEM TO COMPLAIN ABOUT TRAFFIC KIND OF SEEMS WAS AMUSING TO ME. BUT NO, I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE AN ISSUE HERE. JUST JUST THE NATURE OF YOUR BUSINESS. THE PREVIOUS BUSINESS, I BELVE, MADE GRANITE COUNTERTOPS, IS THAT RIGHT? YES, SIR. AND SO FORMING GRANITE INTO A COUNTERTOP IS A NOISY BUSINESS.

IS THAT IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH. A LOT OF CUTTING, GRINDING, MAKING THOSE EDGES SMOOTH. AND SO ALL OF THAT NOISE, I MEAN, THOSE GUYS GOT BOUGHT AND MOVED SOMEWHERE ELSE. THAT'S WHY THIS BUILDING IS VACANT. AND AND SO I THINK THIS USE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, OTHER THAN A TRUCK A MONTH AND MAYBE A FEDEX AND UPS TRUCK NOW AND AGAIN, I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE MINIMAL DISRUPTION CERTAINLY TO THE TO THE SCHOOLS. AND, YOU KNOW, IF YOU MAKE YOUR VENDORS AWARE THAT, HEY, THE ROUND THREE, YOU KNOW, THIS TIME IN THE MORNING AND THIS TIME IN THE AFTERNOON IS NOT A GOOD TIME TO COME JUST BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC BACKUP, BECAUSE OF THOSE SCHOOLS RIGHT THERE. I THINK THAT WILL BE TOTALLY MINIMIZED. AND SO IS THIS THEIR FIRST VENTURE IN OUTSIDE OF CAROLINAS? I BELIEVE SO, YES, SIR. OKAY. SO THE FIRST FIRST VENTURE INTO TEXAS HERE. AND AND CERTAINLY THAT KIND OF HARDWARE I THINK IS SOMETHING I MEAN THAT'S IT'S LOOKS VERY, YOU KNOW, SLEEK AND MODERN AND SOMETHING THAT WOULD CERTAINLY BE USED AS WE ATTRACT MORE BUSINESSES AND REDEVELOP BUILDINGS LIKE THIS THAT WILL NEED HARDWARE LIKE THAT. AND SO YOU'D BE OPEN TO RETAIL SALES, BUT THAT'S NOT YOUR FOCUS. IS THAT RIGHT. THE TARGET. NO. BUT ABSOLUTELY. YOU KNOW,, ANYBODY THAT IS ATTENDING THESE KIND OF ORDERS FOR THIS TYPE OF MATERIALS, COMMERCIAL GRADE, IT'S A CERTAIN CUSTOMER BASE. AND THAT'S YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ESTABLISHED. THEY'RE ALREADY IN COMMUNICATION BEHIND THE SCENES AND NOT MUCH NEED TO COME AND UTILIZE THE ACTUAL. SO THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS WHAT I COULD GET AT HOME DEPOT OR LOWE'S.

IT'S MORE MORE OF A COMMERCIAL GRADE PRODUCT. AND SO THIS IS NOT SOMETHING A HOMEOWNER WOULD REALLY WANT IN THEIR HOUSE. USUALLY NOT UNLESS YOU'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR SECURITY AND YOU WANT TO HAVE GREAT MATERIALS TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS SECURE. YES, SIR.

FOR SURE. SO OKAY. WELL, I, I CERTAINLY NOW THAT I'VE LAID EYES ON IT AND WALKED THE PROPERTY, I THINK THIS IS REALLY A GREAT REUSE AND I'M HAPPY TO RECOMMEND THIS TO COME TO DISTRICT SEVEN. THANK YOU SIR. APPRECIATE YOU. THANK YOU SIR. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE SPEAKER ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE. MADAM SECRETARY, DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM? NO, SIR, WE DO NOT HAVE ANY SPEAKERS. COUNCIL MEMBER THOMAS, THIS IS YOUR DISTRICT, SIR. WE WE DO. WE DO TWO MOTIONS ON THIS. YOU CAN WRAP IT ALL UP INTO ONE IF YOU WISH. WELL, I BELIEVE SO. IS IT 1 OR 2? IS IT? IT COULD BE ONE MOTION TO APPROVE THE PD AMENDMENT TO ALLOW THE USE OF WAREHOUSE, OFFICE, SHOWROOM BY SP AND OTHER CRUISES, AND APPROVED THE SCP FOR HOWEVER MANY YEARS YOU'D LIKE. OKAY. AND THE CONCEPT PLAN? YES. ALL RIGHT. LET ME SEE IF I CAN REPEAT THAT. I DO MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO THE PD, AND THAT WE ALSO APPROVE THE SP FOR A PERIOD OF TEN YEARS. WILL YOU ALSO, IN YOUR MOTION, ALLOW COMMUNITY RETAIL USES AND APPROVE THE CONCEPT PLAN? YES. VERY GOOD SIR. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER THOMAS THAT I WON'T REPEAT. AND A SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM LUK COUNCIL. ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? WE HAVE TWO IN THE QUEUE. COUNCILMEMBER WILLIAMS, YOU'RE IN THE QUEUE, SIR. YOU'RE OUT. COUNCIL MEMBER MOORE, YOU'RE IN THE QUEUE. SOMETHING GOING ON

[00:40:06]

WITH THE BUTTONS OVER THERE? YEAH. ALL RIGHT. MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER THOMAS. A SECOND BY COUNCIL. MAYOR PRO TEM LUK. I'M SCARED TO ASK FOR ANY DISCUSSION. BUT, MADAM SECRETARY, WOULD YOU PLEASE PREPARE THE VOTE FOR US? MADAM IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY.

[c. Consider a request by Mark Stacy, requesting approval of 1) a Specific Use Provision (SUP) for Car Wash, Automated/Rollover on property zoned Planned Development District 80-42 and 2) a Concept Plan for a Car Wash, Automated/Rollover Use in District 4.]

WELCOME TO GARLAND. THANK YOU SIR. NEXT ITEM FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION IS ITEM 13 C.

CONSIDER A REQUEST BY MARK STACEY REQUESTING PROVAL OF ONE A SPECIFIC USE PROVISION FOR A CAR WASH. AUTOMATED ROLLOVER ON PROPERTY. ZONED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 80, 42 AND TWO A CONCEPT PLAN FOR A CAR WASH. AUTOMATED ROLLOVER USE IN DISTRICT FOUR. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. AS YOU MENTIONED IN COMMUNITY RETAIL ZONING, A CAR WASH AUTOMATED ROLLOVER USE REQUIRES AN SUV, WHICH IS WHY WE ARE HERE TONIGHT. THE PROPERTY IS ZONED A VERY OLD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FROM 1980 80. DASH 42, WHICH HAS THE BASE DISTRICT OF COMMUNITY RETAIL.

IT IS A 0.43 ACRE PARCEL OUT OF A BIGGER PARCEL, 40 6545 DUCK CREEK DRIVE IS THE ADDRESS.

HERE YOU CAN SEE THE OVERALL SITE. IT IS AN IT'S AN ALREADY DEVELOPED SHOPPING CENTER. IT IS MOSTLY BEING USED. THERE'S A DOLLAR GENERAL. THERE IS A FITNESS CLUB. THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER USES GOING ON IN HERE. WHAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING IS TO TAKE UP A PORTION OF THE PARKING LOT OF THIS SHOPPING CENTER AND DEVELOP A CAR WASH AND AUTOMATED CAR WASH THERE.

THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER COMMERCIAL USES, RESTAURANTS, THINGS LIKE THAT. TO THE WEST ALONG DUCK CREEK. IF YOU GO ALONG DUCK CREEK, THERE ARE MULTI-FAMILY PROJECTS, MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENTS, AND THERE'S A DART STATION. SO THIS IS A HEAVILY TRANSIT ORIENTED AREA FOR CITY OF GARLAND. THERE IS ANOTHER CAR WASH FROM ALONG BROADWAY STREET, SO VERY CLOSE BY FROM THIS PROPOSED CAR WASH. THE COMP PLAN CALLS THIS AREA OUT FOR TRANSIT ORIENTED CENTERS. SO TRANSIT ORIENTED CENTERS ARE AREAS OF CONCENTRATED ACTIVITY AND INCREASED DENSITY WITH MAXIMUM ACCESS TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS, AGAIN, ALONG DUCK CREEK, IF YOU JUST KEEP GOING WEST, THERE IS A DART STATION AND THERE IS A TOD PROJECT THAT THE CITY IS CURRENTLY PARTNERING WITH THE DEVELOPER WITH. SO AGAIN, HEAVILY FOCUSED TOD AREA FOR THE CITY. HERE ARE THE SITE PHOTOS FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES. THIS IS THE SHOPPING CENTER. HERE'S THE STREET AGAIN. DIFFERENT ANGLES. YOU CAN SEE A RESTAURANT AS WELL. SO VERY DEVELOPED SITE. SO HERE'S THE CONCEPT PLAN. THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE IN HATCH. THAT IS THE THE EXISTING BUILDING. THIS IS WHERE THE PROPOSAL IS ASKING THAT THE PARKING LOT BE CONVERTED INTO A CAR WASH. SO THIS SITE IS ALREADY DEFICIENT IN THE PARKING COUNT FOR THE USES THAT ARE ALREADY THERE. WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF ANOTHER CAR WASH, ANOTHER USE, THEY WILL GO FURTHER DOWN IN TERMS OF THEIR PARKING COUNT.

THE APPLICANT DID OFFER THAT THEY WILL GO AND REPAVE SOME AREAS HERE TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PARKING, BUT EVEN THEN THE ENTIRE SITE, IF THE CAR WASH IS APPROVED, THE ENTIRE SITE WILL BE DEFICIENT IN PARKING AND THE APPLICANT, IF THIS IS APPROVED DURING THE SITE PERMIT PROCESS, WILL HAVE TO COME TO STAFF FOR AN ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE PROCESS WITH THE TRAFFIC STUDY SHOWING HOW THOSE PARKING COUNTS WOULD WORK FOR THIS SITE. OUR RECOMMENDATIONS. DENIAL. AS I MENTIONED, THIS IS A HEAVILY TRANSIT FOCUSED AREA FOR THE CITY, AND EVEN WITHOUT THAT CONSIDERATION, IT IS A SHOPPING CENTER. IT IS A TIGHT SITE. IT IS ALREADY DEFICIENT IN PARKING. TO INTRODUCE ANOTHER USE IN THE MIDDLE OF A PKING LOT DOES NOT SEEM APPROPRIATE FOR STAFF AND PLANNING COMMISSION ALSO AGREED AND RECOMMENDED DENIAL.

WE SENT OUT 151 LETTERS. WE GOT TWO RESPONSES IN FAVOR FROM WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION AREA, AND THREE AN OPPOSITION WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION AREA AND OUTSIDE OF THE NOTIFICATION AREA. WE GOT 40 RESPONSES. THOSE RESPONSES MOSTLY TALKED ABOUT THIS AREA BEING ALREADY

[00:45:02]

CROWDED, AND HAVING ANOTHER CAR WASH IN THE PARKING LOT DOES NOT SEEM APPROPRIATE FOR THEM.

WOULD CREATE TRAFFIC ISSUES, THINGS LIKE THAT. SO GENERALLY WE GOT A LOT OF RESPONSE, BUT MOSTLY FROM OUTSIDE OF THE NOTIFICATION AREA. WITH THAT, I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS.

ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE COUNCILMEMBER DUTTON. CAN YOU KIND OF EXPLAIN WHAT TRANSIT FOCUSED IS JUST FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW, PLEASE. SURE. SO WHEN WE SAY, LET ME GO BACK TO THE COMP PLAN DESCRIPTION, I THINK THAT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE. SO THE COMP PLAN AGAIN IDENTIFIES THIS AREA AS TRANSIT ORIENTED CENTERS. AND THE DEFINITION BEING TRANSIT ORIENTED CENTERS ARE AREAS OF CONCENTRATED ACTIVITY AND INCREASED DENSITY WITH MAXIMUM ACCESS TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS. SO TRAIN, BUS OR ANY OTHER MODE OF MODES OF TRANSPORTATION OTHER THAN CARS ARE ENCOURAGED. THIS TYPE OF CENTER WOULD BE DEVELOPED AS MIXED USE WITH LIVE WORK PLAY SHOP OPPORTUNITIES. TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE WITHIN A QUARTER TO HALF MILE OF TRANSIT CENTERS AND OR RAIL STATIONS, AND PROVIDE PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE FRIENDLY ACCESS. SO THIS AREA IS WITHIN THAT PROXIMITY OF A TRANSIT CENTER. THANK YOU MA'AM. YOU'RE WELCOME MA'AM. ALL RIGHT, COUNCILMEMBER BASS, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. SO GOING BACK TO WHERE THEY SAID THEY WOULD ADD ADDITIONAL PARKING LOOKING AT THAT. THAT IS JUST THAT'S NOT IT'S NOT REALLY FEASIBLE. I MEAN IT'S IT'S BEHIND THAT'S BEHIND THE BUILDING. THE BUILDING IS AN L SHAPE. THERE'S THAT'S NOT ACCESSIBLE PARKING THAT IT USED TO BE. WE FROM WHAT FROM GOOGLE IMAGES. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WERE PARKING SPACES IN THE PAST IN THAT AREA. BUT OVER TIME THE STRIPING GOT FADED AWAY. AND THEY JUST AGAIN, LIKE YOU SAID, IT'S NOT A FEASIBLE PLACE TO PARK. IT LOOKS LIKE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN BECAUSE LOOKING AT IT ON GOOGLE IMAGES, THE ROOF ON THE L LEG IS A DIFFERENT COLOR THAN THE ROOF ON THE PLANET. FITNESS. SO MAYBE THAT WAS A PARKING BEFORE THE LEG WAS ADDED ON. AND ANOTHER THING DIDN'T WE DID. WE HAVE IN THE PAST MONTH OR SO, DID WE HAVE ANOTHER CAR WASH COME TO US IN THE SAME GENERAL AREA? NOT IN THIS AREA, NOT IN THIS AREA. OKAY, OKAY. I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHERE THAT ONE WAS. THERE IS AN EXISTING CAR. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S AN EXISTING CAR WASH LITERALLY IN THAT PICTURE. CORRECT? OKAY, SO THAT'S STILL A CAR WASH THERE. OKAY. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME, COUNCILMEMBER WILLIAMS. YEAH, YOU SAID THAT THERE IS A ONE OF THOSE PICTURES IS AN EXISTING CAR WASH, RIGHT. OKAY. HOW ABOUT WHAT'S IT APPROXIMATELY WHAT'S THE DISTANCE? IT'S RIGHT HERE. THIS IS WHERE THE CAR WASH, , THE THE PROPOSED CAR WAH IS. AND Y'ALL CAN SEE MY CURSOR. RIGHT. THIS IS WHERE THE CAR WASH IS. EXISTING CAR WASHES. AND HOW MANY HOW MANY WOULD WOULD PARKING SPACES WOULD THEY IF THEY CONSTRUCTED THIS, HOW MUCH WOULD THEY BE A DEFICIT. SO FOR THEM TO COME IN AND DEVELOP WHERE THEY'RE WANTING TO DEVELOP, THEY WILL BE REMOVING 32 PARKING SPOTS FROM EXISTING PARKING, WHICH WILL MAKE THE TOTAL COUNT FOR THE SHOPPING CENTER GO DOWN TO 212.

A TOTAL OF 294 WOULD BE REQUIRED. SO EVEN IF THEY GO BACK AND STRIPE AND REPAVE BACK AT THE BUILDING, THOSE 69 NEW PARKING SPOTS, THERE WILL BE 261, WHICH WILL STILL BE DEFICIENT FROM WHAT THEY REQUIRE FROM THIS FOR WHAT THIS ENTIRE SITE REQUIRES. AND. IF THEY CONSIDER OR MENTION VACANT BUILDINGS WITHIN THIS AREA, VACANT PROPERTIES THAT ARE STILL HARD TO FEEL ARE EXISTING NOW. I MEAN THIS CORRIDOR, IT IS HEAVILY USED. I'M NOT AWARE OF TOO MANY VACANT BUILDINGS, BUT THERE COULD BE IN THE VICINITY. THERE'S THERE ARE SEVERAL, ONE BEING THE OLD BT FURNISHING. OKAY, WHICH IS STILL VACANT. AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S RESPONSES TO THIS WAS THEY ALSO DIDN'T THINK IT'S A RIGHT FIT FOR THE AREA. THEY WENT OUT THERE AND THEY VISITED. IT JUST DIDN'T SEEM APPROPRIATE THAT SCALE IN THAT PARKING LOT TO PUT ANOTHER CAR WASH IN AN EXISTING SHOPPING CENTER. THEY DID NOT THINK THAT WAS AN

[00:50:05]

APPROPRIATE LAND USE. SO YEAH, OKAY. IS THE APPLICANT HERE TONIGHT? THE APPLICANT IS NOT HERE. THEY CONVEYED THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO COME OKAY OKAY. GREAT. THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU SIR. MAYOR PRO TEM LUCK. SO IT LOOKS LIKE THE LIKE THE CORNER OF THE PROPOSED CAR WASH WOULD BE. I MEAN, IT LOOKS LIKE AROUND 50FT AWAY FROM THE EXISTING. THEY'RE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER. ARE THERE PLANS TO DEMOLISH THE EXISTING CAR WASH? NO, ACTUALLY, THE OWNER OF THE THE THAT BUSINESS OWNER WAS AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AND HE HAD MENTIONED THAT THERE WERE HE HAD SOME PLANS TO UPDATE HIS CAR WASH OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND HE WAS TOLD HE WAS DISCOURAGED AND HE JUST DIDN'T FIND IT APPROPRIATE THAT NOW ANOTHER CAR WASH WOULD BE ALLOWED IN THAT AREA. THERE WAS A THE, THE THIS PROJECT. THE APPLICANT DID SAY THAT THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF DIFFERENCE THAT WAS THERE. I'M JUST CONVEYING THAT THE EXISTING ONE IS A MANUAL ONE AND HIS IS AN AUTOMATED. HE DID TALK ABOUT THAT DISTINCTION.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU MA'AM. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS ITEM. NONE. MADAM SECRETARY I WON'T ASK IF THE APPLICANT IS HERE THEN, BUT I WILL ASK IF ANYONE WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. SIR, HAVE YOU FILLED OUT A SPEAKER CARD? IF YOU WOULD COME UP AND TALK, BUT FILL A SPEAKER CARD AFTERWARDS. GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. HELLO, I'M MICHAEL LANDERS AT 2701 MEADOW AND DRIVE IN GARLAND AND THE PLANET FITNESS OUT THERE IS NUTS WITH THE PARKING. LIKE PEOPLE COME IN THERE. AND IF THEY TAKE OUT ALL THOSE PARKING SPOTS WHERE THE FITNESS PEOPLE PARK ON THE ROOF, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE PARKING IN THE BACK AND WALKING AROUND DIDN'T SEEM LIKE HE SAID A SUFFICIENT ANSWER.

BUT THAT'S ALL I GOT. THANK YOU SIR. FILL OUT A SPEAKER CARD FOUS. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? COUNCILMEMBER WILLIAMS, THIS IS YOUR DISTRICT, SIR.

COUNCIL. I WANT TO RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THIS REQUEST FOR REASONS. THE SAME REASONS THAT WERE GIVEN FOR BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE STAFF. WE HAVE A MOTION FOR DENIAL BY COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMS AND A SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER MOORE. ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? COUNCIL. MADAM SECRETARY, WOULD YOU PLEASE PREPARE THE VOTE FOR US? THIS IS A MOTION TO DENY.

FOR A SECOND. I'M GETTING BETTER. AND THAT ITEM PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. A MOTION TO DENY.

[d. Consider a request by ZoneDev, requesting approval of 1) an amendment and expansion to Planned Development (PD) District 18-20 to allow a Dwelling, Single-Family Detached development and 2) a Concept Plan for a Dwelling, Single-Family Detached Use in District 4.]

MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT ITEM. 13 D. IT'S CONSIDERED A REQUEST BY ZONE DEV REQUESTING APPROVAL OF ONE. AN AMENDMENT AND EXPANSION TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 1820 TO ALLOW A DWELLING, SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED DEVELOPMENT AND TWO CONCEPT PLAN FOR DWELLING SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED USE IN DISTRICT FOUR. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. AS YOU MENTIONED, THIS IS A REQUEST FOR AN AMENDMENT AND EXPANSION OF PD 1824 SINGLE FAMILY FOR A SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED DEVELOPMENT. THE SITE IS LOCATED 2906 BOBTOWN ROAD AND 5401 AND 5417 ROSE HILL. IT'S ABOUT A LITTLE OVER SEVEN ACRE SITE. IT IS A MORE RECENT PD, BUT THE PD DOES ENCOMPASS A MUCH LARGER AREA AND HAS DIFFERENT SUBDISTRICTS WITHIN THE PD AS WELL. SO THE ZONING OF THE PROPOSED SITE IS SUBSTANTIALLY PD 1820, WHICH ALLOWS FOR MIXED USES, BUT A PORTION OF THE SITE IS ALSO ZONED CR, WHICH IS NOW BEING PROPOSED TO BE BROUGHT UNDER PD 1820, WHICH IS WHY IT'S A PD AMENDMENT AND EXPANSION. HERE'S THE ZONING MAP. AS YOU CAN SEE WHAT YOU SEE IN HATCH. ALL THOSE IT ARE PD 1820. BUT THIS PORTION IS ZONED CR WHICH IS IF APPROVED, IT'S GOING TO BECOME PART OF PD 1820. SURROUNDING USES. THERE IS A SUBSTATION HERE AND SOME VACANT LAND, BUT OTHER THAN THAT THERE ARE APPROVED. THERE IS AN APPROVED SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED PROJECT ACROSS ROSSO TO THE EAST. TO THE NORTH THERE IS SINGLE

[00:55:05]

FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD AND THERE ARE OTHER SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE SOUTHEAST SOUTHWEST AS WELL. THE COMP PLAN CALLS THIS AREA OUT FOR URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS. URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS ARE HIGHER DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS. THIS RESIDENTIAL OPTION MAY UTILIZE VERTICAL MIXED USE INTEGRATED INTO THE SURROUNDING AREA, REFLECTING THE AREA'S DOMINANT CHARACTER OR, WHEN DESIRED, PROMOTING A NEW CHARACTER. GENERALLY SPEAKING, IT'S MORE DENSE, SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES, SO IT DOES MEET THE VISION THAT'S SET FORWARD IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS. HERE, THE SITE PHOTOS, AS YOU CAN SEE, VASTLY UNDEVELOPED GREENFIELD SITE RIGHT NOW, VIEWS FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES AND YOU COULD SEE SOME SURROUNDING HOMES AS WELL THAT ARE GOING TO BE NEIGHBORS TO THIS PROPOSED PROJECT. SO OVERALL, 54 HOMES ARE BEING PROPOSED. THERE IS A POCKET PARK BNG PROPOSED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER AS WELL. INITIALLY, THE APPLICANT HAD PROPOSED A FEW HOMES ALONG THACKERAY TO THE SOUTH. HOWEVER, THEY HAD A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING AND UPON REQUEST OF THE HOA AND THE NEIGHBORS, THEY HAVE TAKEN THOSE HOMES OUT. AND THEY ARE.

THEY HAVE CREATED THAT KIND OF TREE PRESERVE AREA, WHICH IS PART OF THIS PROJECT. BUT THE TREES ARE NOT GOING TO BE TOUCHED. THE HOMES ARE ROUGHLY 1700 SQUARE FOOT. THE APPLICANT IS HERE. OBVIOUSLY, THEY CAN SPEAK MORE TOWARD THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT TYPES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THERE ARE SEVERAL DEVIATIONS THAT ARE BEING REQUESTED FROM THE PD. AGAIN, PD 10. IT'S A MUCH LARGER PD DOES NOT NECESSARILY ENCOMPASS EVERYTHING THAT A PARTICULAR PROJECT MAY NEED. SO FIRST FIRST THING SETBACKS. THE PD REQUIRES FIVE FEET SETBACKS FOR EACH LOT. WHAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING IS A VARIABLE SETBACK BETWEEN 1 TO 5FT. WE WEREN'T TOO CONCERNED ABOUT IT. HOWEVER, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE FIRE AND BUILDING WOULD BE OKAY WITH IT.

AND THEY ARE. THEY ARE PROPOSING THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING FIRE RATED WALLS FOR THESE HOMES, AND WITH THAT BUILDING AND FIRE ARE OKAY WITH THAT SETBACK. THE PD REQUIRES A FIVE FEET OFFSET OF THE GARAGE DOORS. HOWEVER, SMALLER LOTS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED BY THE APPLICANT AND TO MAXIMIZE THE THE FOOTPRINT OF THE HOME, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING SIX INC OFFSET FOR THE GARAGE DOOR, SO THE GARAGE DOORS WILL STILL BE SLIGHTLY OFFSET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE. BUT INSTEAD OF FIVE FEET, THEY'RE PROPOSING SIX INCH. THERE IS A LARGE EASEMENT ALONG. THERE'S A LARGE EASEMENT THAT PROHIBITS HAVING PLANTS, LARGE CANOPY TREES, AND THINGS LIKE THAT WITHIN. THE. ROSEHILL WITHIN ROSEHILL ROAD. SO AGAIN, THE THE REQUIRED PERIMETER LANDSCAPING IS EIGHT FOOT WITH WITH A WALL AND CANOPY TREES. HOWEVER, THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE POSSIBLE FOR THE APPLICANT TO PROVIDE BECAUSE OF THE EASEMENT THAT THEY HAVE FROM NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT. BUT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING THREE FOOT PERIMETER LANDSCAPING, AND THEY'RE PROPOSING TO PROVIDE SHRUBS AND ORNAMENTAL PLANTING THAT WILL MATCH THE ADJACENT DEVELOPMENT ALONG ROSEHILL. THEN THE PD DOES REQUIRE TWO LARGE TREES. OUR GDC REQUIRES TWO LARGE TREES PER LOT. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THAT ONE LARGE TREE PER LOT IS ALLOWED. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE PROVIDED IN THE CONDITIONS THAT THAT LARGE TREE WOULD BE IN THE FRONT YARD. IF THE IF THE HOMEOWNER WOULD LIKE, THEY CAN PLANT ANOTHER TREE IN THE BACKYARD. THERE'S ONE OTHER DESIGN RELATED MATTER THAT THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED. DEVIATION FROM THE PD REQUIRES THAT FIVE DESIGN ELEMENTS OUT OF THESE 1414 THAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN ARE PROVIDED WITH EACH DEVELOPMENT. SO THE APPLICANT IS GOING TO COMPLY WITH THOSE FIVE. HOWEVER, IF THEY'RE PICKING A CARRIAGE STYLE GARAGE DOORS WITH DECORATIVE HARDWARE, THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT FULL CARRIAGE GARAGE DOOR. IT'S REALLY JUST AN ENHANCED ESTHETIC FOR THE GARAGE DOOR AND WOULD INCLUDE DESIGN ELEMENTS AND EMBELLISHMENTS SUCH AS SUCH AS HARDWARE, WINDOWS, FIXTURES AND OTHER DESIGN ELEMENTS THAT WOULD ENHANCE THE APPEARANCE OF THE GARAGE DOOR. AND THERE IS ANOTHER PROVISION THAT SAYS COVERED FRONT PORCH WOULD BE AT LEAST 50% OF THE FRONT FACADE AND COLUMNS WITH MASONRY BASE. HOWEVER, WITH THE LOTS BEING SO
