ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. MADAM SECRETARY, WOULD YOU PLEASE READ THE SPEAKER GUIDELINES FOR US? YES, SIR. THANK YOU. MAYOR, THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK IS GIVEN TO PROVIDE TESTIMONY RATHER THAN TO QUESTION THE CITY COUNCIL OR STAFF. THE CHAIR MAY CALL A SPEAKER OUT OF ORDER IF THE SPEAKER PRESENTS QUESTIONS OR REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION THAT WILL UNDULY DELAY THE TRANSACTION OF BUSINESS AT THE MEETING, SPEAKER SHALL BE ALLOWED TO SPEAK ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE BASIS, AS DETERMINED BY THE ORDER IN WHICH THE CITY SECRETARY RECEIVES THE SPEAKER'S INFORMATION. APPLICANTS ARE ALLOWED TEN MINUTES FOR PRESENTATIONS AND ALL OTHER SPEAKERS WILL BE ALLOWED THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK. WHEN THE PODIUM BUZZER SOUNDS, THE SPEAKER MUST SEND THEIR COMMENTS. THANK YOU MA'AM. IF ANYONE HASN'T SIGNED UP TO SPEAK AND WISHES TO DO SO, PLEASE GO SIGN UP BY THE CITY SECRETARY'S AREA OVER THERE. OUR FIRST ITEM FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION IS ITEM SIX. A IS TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST BY ZONE DEV REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A CHANGE IN ZONING FROM SINGLE FAMILY. SEVEN DISTRICT TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT. DISTRICT NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES. DISTRICT PD. S ZONING TO ALLOW FOR CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES DISTRICT USES AND MODIFY CERTAIN DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

SITE IS LOCATED AT 820 WEST MILLER ROAD IN DISTRICT FIVE. THANK YOU. MAYOR, AS YOU MENTIONED, THIS IS A REQUEST TO CHANGE THE EXISTING ZONING WITH A SINGLE FAMILY SEVEN TO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT WITH A ZONING OF NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES. THE PURPOSE OF THE PD IS TO MODIFY CERTAIN DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS THAT ARE WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES DISTRICT, AND ALSO TO MODIFY SOME USES THAT ARE PERMITTED, PERMITTED WITH SP OR PROHIBITED WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES DISTRICT. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SITE IS LOCATED AT 820 WEST MILLER ROAD. THE SITE IS SLIGHTLY LESS THAN ONE ACRE AND AS MENTIONED, CURRENTLY ZONED AS SINGLE FAMILY SEVEN, IT IS LOCATED IN DISTRICT FIVE. YOU CAN. YOU CAN SEE THE SURROUNDING ZONING ON THIS LOCATION MAP. THIS SITE, WHICH IS OUTLINED IN TTYL IS SF VEN SEVEN TO THE NORTH. THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT COMMERCIAL TYPE USES TIRE SHOPS, GAS STATIONS, A RESTAURANT, THINGS LIKE THAT. TO THE EAST, IT'S A SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD AND SINGLE FAMILY HOMES DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE SITE TO THE WEST AND TO THE SOUTH. THAT'S THE SKATE PARK. AND FURTHER WEST THERE ARE MULTIFAMILY PROJECT AND MULTIFAMILY ZONING. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CALLS THIS AREA OUT TO BE A TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD. TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOODS ARE CURRENTLY FOUND THROUGHOUT GARLAND AND PROVIDE AREAS FOR LOW TO MODERATE DENSITY, SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENTIAL HOUSING.

TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOODS ALSO ACCOMMODATE CONVENIENCE, RETAIL GOODS OR SERVICES, OFFICE SPACE, AND PUBLIC SERVICES. BASED ON THE SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT, WE DO BELIEVE THIS PROJECT OR THIS PROPOSED ZONING DOES MEET THE COMPREHENSIVE, COMPREHENSIVE PLANS INTENT. HERE ARE SOME SITE PHOTOS YOU COULD SEE. THERE IS. THERE IS AN. IT IS AN EXISTING DEVELOPED SITE. THERE IS A CHURCH CURRENTLY OPERATING OUT OF THE MAIN BUILDING. ON THIS SITE THERE ARE THREE TOTAL BUILDING. THE BUILDING THAT YOU SEEE ON THE SITE PHOTOS. THAT'S THE MAIN BUILDING I BELIEVE

[00:25:04]

THAT'S ABOUT 20 700 SQUARE FOOT THAT HAS THE AUDITORIUM AND THE OFFICE SPACE FOR THE CHURCH.

TOWARD THE BACK THERE ARE TWO OTHER BUILDINGS. ONE IS A SHED AND THE OTHER ONE IS A SECONDARY BUILDING THAT KIND OF SERVES AS A PARSONAGE FOR THE CHURCH, AND THAT IS ABOUT 1400 SQUARE FOOT PER THE APPLICANT. WHEN THE SITE DOES GET DEVELOPED, THE SHED WILL BE REMOVED AND THE THE TWO OTHER BUILDINGS WILL BE CONVERTED TO OTHER USES. OTHER COMMERCIAL USES. ONE OTHER ITEM THAT I WANTED TO MENTION, THE CHURCH THAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE BUILDING IS OPERATING AND THEIR LEASE IS UNTIL 2027, SO IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THEY WILL CONTINUE OPERATING ON THIS SITE UNTIL AT LEAST 2027, WHICH IS WHY THE THERE IS NO CONCEPT PLAN ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REQUEST BECAUSE THE APPLICANT IS JUST PREPARING THE SITE FOR FUTURE TENANTS AND FUTURE USES. SO A COUPLE DIFFERENT PROVISIONS THAT ARE COVERED WITH THE PROPOSED PLAN DEVELOPMENT. AS MENTIONED, THE ZONING IS NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO ALLOW THE USE CONVENIENCE STORE TO BE PERMITTED BY RIGHT.

GENERALLY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICE DISTRICT, THIS USE REQUIRES AN S, U, P. SO STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT WE KEEP THAT PARAMETER WITHIN THIS PD AS WELL, AND DO NOT ALLOW THE CONVENIENCE STORE BY RIGHT, BUT ALLOW IT WITH AN S, U, P. THE APPLICANT IS ALSO REQUESTING THAT A MOBILE FOOD TRUCK PARK BE ALLOWED WITH AN S, U, P WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICE DISTRICT OF MOBILE FOOD TRUCK PARK IS NOT ALLOWED AT ALL. WE DO NOT SEE AN ISSUE WITH THAT.

IT IS DEPENDING SINCE IT IT WILL BE THROUGH AN S, U, P. IT'LL COME BACK TO PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL AND STAFF WILL. WE ALL WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO REVIEW WHERE THE TRUCKS ARE GOING TO BE LOCATED, HOW THE BUFFER IS GOING TO BE PROVIDED BETWEEN THE TRUCKS AND THE AND THE NEIGHBORS THAT ARE TO THE TO THE EAST. BUT SINCE IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO A PARK AND HAS OTHER COMMERCIAL TO THE NORTH, TO THE NORTH, AND RESIDENTS ALL AROUND, IT MAY NOT BE A BAD IDEA TO HAVE IT, BUT WE'LL HAVE TO LOOK AT THE DETAILS WHEN THAT COMES UP WITH AN S, U, P WITH. WITHIN THE PD, THE APPLICANT HAS ALSO VOLUNTEERED TO PROHIBIT CERTAIN USES THAT WERE CONCERNING TO STAFF AS WELL. LAUNDRY SELF-SERVICE LAUNDROMATS ARE GOING TO BE PROHIBITED OUTSIDE DISPLAY. NEW WILL BE PROHIBITED. TRANSIT STATION PUBLIC WILL BE PROHIBITED. THOSE ARE CURRENTLY SOMEHOW ALLOWED WITHIN NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICE. AS MENTIONED, SINCE THERE'S NO IMMEDIATE PLAN FOR THIS TO BE DEVELOPED OR REDEVELOPED, THERE'S NO CONCEPT PLAN ATTACHED WITH THIS REQUEST SINCE THERE'S NO CONSTRUCTION GOING ON. NO SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARD IS BEING TRIGGERED WITH THIS REQUEST. HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO PUT A MINIMUM OF SIX ORNAMENTAL TREES ALONG MILLER. WE HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE THE OVERHEAD OVERHEAD UTILITY WHICH MAY COME IN, COME IN THE WAY OF HAVING THE ORNAMENTAL TREES, IN WHICH CASE THERE WILL BE ALTERNATIVE LANDSCAPING PROVIDED, SO IT WILL IMPROVE THE SITE TO SOME EXTENT. WE DO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST. WE DO THINK THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THIS WILL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE SURROUNDING SURROUNDING USES AND THE FABRIC OF THE AREA. BUT WE DO SAY WE DO RECOMMEND FROM STAFF THAT CONVENIENCE STORE IS NOT GOING TO BE ALLOWED BY RIGHT, BUT IT BE ALLOWED WITH S U P. THE PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL WITH THE SAME CONDITION. WE SENT OUT 73 LETTERS. WE GOT ONE IN OPPOSITION WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION AREA. HOWEVER, I DID NOT SEE ANY WRITTEN COMMENTS ON THAT. WITH THAT, I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AND APPLICANT HAS A PRESENTATION AS WELL. VERY GOOD. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR MAYOR PRO TEM LUKE MISNER. WHERE IS THE NEAREST CONVENIENCE STORE? I DID NOT LOOK IT UP UNFORTUNATELY, BUT IT'S ACROSS THE STREET. THERE IS A GAS STATION. DOES THAT ONE HAVE THAT PROBABLY DOES HAVE A CONVENIENCE STORE. ABSOLUTELY IT DOES. DO YOU KNOW HOW THAT HOW THAT IS ACCESSED FROM THIS, FROM THE SKATE PARK? THE PARK IN GENERAL, THERE IS A MANAGED CROSSWALK TO THAT CONVENIENCE STORE. OKAY. IN THAT CASE, THE CONVENIENCE STORE USE MAY BE A LITTLE REDUNDANT ON THIS LOCATION. NOT ONLY THAT, IT IS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO A SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH IS MY LARGEST CONCERN FOR THE CONVENIENCE STORE USE. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

[00:30:01]

MADAM SECRETARY, WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL THE APPLICANT? OH, HOLD ON ONE SECOND.

COUNCILMEMBER WILLIAMS PUNCHED IN LAST MINUTE. WHAT'S THE TIMELINE FOR THIS PROJECT? THERE'S NO TIMELINE THAT THE APPLICANT SPECIFIED. AS MENTIONED, THE CHURCH IS STILL OPERATING AND THEIR LEASE IS UNTIL 2027. SO THIS IF SOMETHING ELSE COMES IN, IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT IT'LL BE AFTER THAT. AND YOU HAVE THE NAME OF THE CHURCH, NOT THAT THAT'S IMPORTANT, BUT FOR THE RECORD, I DO NOT REMEMBER OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, SIR. OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU SIR. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MADAM SECRETARY, WE NOW CALL THE APPLICANT. YES, SIR. MAXWELL FISHER. NAME AND ADDRESS. FOR THE RECORD, YOU'LL HAVE TEN MINUTES. MAYOR. COUNCIL. MY NAME IS MAXWELL FISHER WITH ZONE DEV, 2502 GRANDVIEW DRIVE, RICHARDSON, TEXAS, 75080, REPRESENTING ONE GROUP HOLDINGS STAFF DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF SUMMARIZING THE REQUEST. I'LL TRY TO GET JUST WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PARK, THE TWO PARKS AND THE CHURCH'S LEASE COMING UP ENDING IN THE END OF 27. THE APPLICANT OR OWNERS J JUST LOOKING TO OPEN UP OPTIONS FOR REOCCUPYING THIS SPACE, SOMETHING THAT WOULD PROBABLY BETTER SERVE THE AT LEAST THE ADJACENT USES AND THE COMMUNITY AS IT RELATES TO THE PARK USES. THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO LET ME BACK UP, SO THE FRONT BUILDING WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT'S MORE RETAIL IN NATURE, LIKELY COULD BE OFFICE, AND THEN THE BACK WOULD LIKELY JUST BE AN OFFICE TYPE USE BECAUSE IT'S SMALLER BUILDING, IT'S HIDDEN. SO THAT'S LIKELY WHAT THE MARKET WOULD BEAR THERE. WE WOULD AGREE TO MAKE THE IMPROVEMENTS OR SOME ADJUSTMENTS WE NEED TO MAKE TO THE FIRE LANE. AND THEN A SCREENING WALL OR SCREENING FENCE OR A WITH A VEGETATIVE HEDGE WOULD BE REQUIRED ALONG OUR EASTERN PERIMETER. SO WE HAVE SOME SCREENING AND BUFFERING THERE FOR ANY USE THAT WOULD BE DEVELOPED.

MOREOVER, THERE'S ACTUALLY AN UNIMPROVED ALLEY AREA THAT YOU DON'T SEE OFF OFF OUR PROPERTY THAT PROVIDES ADDITIONAL BUFFER FROM THE RESIDENTIAL LOTS THAT ARE TO THE EAST DON'T REALLY SHOW UP ON THE PLAN. WE AGREED TO REMOVE THE ACCESSORY AS A THIRD OR ACCESSORY STRUCTURE ON THE PROPERTY, AGREED TO REMOVE THAT AND ADD SOME ORNAMENTAL TREES ALONG THE FRONT. IT'S PROPOSED AS A PD, WE WERE ASKING FOR A CONVENIENCE STORE TO BE ALLOWED BY. RIGHT, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WE HOPE THAT MAYBE WE COULD AT LEAST SELL OUT BY S, U, P AND AT LEAST ALLOW SOMEONE TO COME FORWARD AND AT LEAST PRESENT SOMETHING AND STILL BE TURNED DOWN IF IT WASN'T APPROPRIATE. BUT WE FEEL LIKE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES IS APPROPRIATE. THAT CONVENIENCE STORE, A SMALL 1ST MAY WORK HERE AS WELLL TO KEEP OUR OPTIONS OPEN. AND THEN OF COURSE, A MOBILE FOOD TRUCK BY S U P. WE WOULD AGREE IN EXCHANGE TO PROHIBIT LAUNDRY SERVICE, AN OUTSIDE DISPLAY OF MATERIALS AND A TRANSIT STATION.

WE'LL CONCLUDE THERE. WE'D ASK YOU TO APPROVE THIS REQUEST. I THINK IT'S NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES APPROPRIATE ADJACENT TO SINGLE FAMILY. WE'D ASK YOU TO FOLLOW BOTH STAFF AND PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION TO PROVIDE SOME ZONING THAT BETTER SERVES THE.

ADJACENT TO THE PARKS AND NEIGHBORHOOD STAND TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT, MAYOR PRO TEM LET. SURE. THANK YOU. I, I REALLY BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN PUT SOMETHING THAT WILL REALLY SERVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE PARK IN THIS PLACE. MY CONCERN TWOFOLD. ONE, SKATE PARKRE IS RESPECT CLEANS THE SKATE PARK EVERY SECOND SATURDAY OF EVERY SINGLE MONTH. AND THE NUMBER ONE THING THEY FIND IN IN THE AREA IS CIGARETTE BUTTS. AND CONVENIENCE STORES SELL TOBACCO PRODUCTS, AND THEY ALSO SELL ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. AND WE HAVE A PRETTY LARGE. PROBLEM WITH WITH SOME CRIME IN THIS PARK. I DON'T WANT TO EXACERBATE THOSE ISSUES BY HAVING A CONVENIENCE STORE WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE THAT ALLOWS SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT MAY. MAY MAKE THOSE PROBLEMS, MAY EXACERBATE THOSE PROBLEMS. SO THAT IS MY MY WORRY WITH THE CONVENIENCE STORE. IF THEY WERE ONLY SELLING LIKE IF IT WAS A SNACK SHOP, THAT WOULD MAKE TOTAL SENSE. SELLING LIKE SODAS AND, AND CHIPS AND THINGS TO PEOPLE PLAYING IN THE PARK AND VISITING THE PARK WATER. I TOTALLY GET THAT. BUT A FULL CONVENIENCE STORE OFFERING IT DOES. IT DOES SCARE ME A LITTLE BIT TO HAVE IT IN THAT

[00:35:04]

PARTICULAR LOCATION. AND THEN AGAIN, IT'S IT'S VERY CLOSE TO A NEIGHBORHOOD AND THAT WILL INCREASE THE NUMBER OF CARS GOING IN AND OUT OF THAT LOCATION, WHICH IS NOISY. AND I REALIZE THAT ANY OTHER USE WOULD, WOULD PROBABLY HAVE MOTOR VEHICLES GOING IN AND OUT AS WELL. BUT, BUT THAT IS, THAT IS WHY I'M, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT A CONVENIENCE STORE. YEAH. IT'S, IT'S, I DON'T THINK WE CAN. AND I, A USE THAT ALLOWS SELLS RETAIL ITEMS BUT DOESN'T, DOESN'T SELL TOBACCO AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO IT MAKES IT CHALLENGING. I UNDERSTAND AND I TOTALLY FEEL YOUR PLIGHT. AND I KNOW THAT THE REASON THAT THE THAT THE CHURCH WANTS THIS ZONING CHANGE IS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO SELL THE PROPERTY RIGHT WHEN THEIR LEASE IS UP. AND THIS IS ONE WAY TO BE ABLE TO, TO ATTRACT SELLERS OR BUYERS. SO I, I DO UNDERSTAND WHY THEY'RE ASKING FOR A CONVENIENCE STORE. I JUST, I, I'M, I HAVE MUCH PAUSE WITH THAT PARTICULAR USE. AND SO I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE I'M COMING FROM. THANK YOU, THANK YOU MA'AM. COUNCILMEMBER BEARD, ON THE CONVENIENCE STORE ISSUE, THERE IS ONE EXACT I MEAN, IMMEDIATELY ACROSS THE STREET, AND D THERE'S ONE ABOUT A BLOCK AND A HALF DOWN. TOWARDS SHILOH.

AND THEN THERE'S. AND RIGHT THERE ACROSS THE STREET WHERE THE CONVENIENCE STORE IS, THERE'S A DOLLAR STORE, THERE'S $2 STORES, GROCERY STORE. I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT RIGHT THERE.

AND WE WORKED REALLY HARD TO GET THAT CROSSWALK IN SO THAT PEOPLE COULD CROSS SAFELY TO GO TO THAT CONVENIENCE STORE. I AGREE THERE'S A LOT OF TRASH AND DEBRIS FROM THAT CONVENIENCE STORE THAT'S LEFT IN THE PARK, AS WELL AS IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE CONVENIENCE STORE. I'M OVER THERE ALMOST DAILY, SO THAT'S MY CONCERN. WAS THIS THE AREA? AND I'LL PROBABLY GET SHUT DOWN BY THE ATTORNEY. WEREN'T WE LOOKING AT A A SKATE SHOP IN THIS AREA? SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THAT WOULD ACTUALLY AND A BIKE SHOP THAT WOULD BENEFIT THE SKATE PARK.

YEAH, THAT WOULD WORK. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT. BUT ANOTHER CONVENIENCE STORE, I LIVE RIGHT THERE. NO, THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU MA'AM. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? ALL RIGHT I SEE NONE. THANK YOU SIR. MADAM SECRETARY, DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM? NO, SIR, WE DO NOT. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL DISCUSSION, PRO TEM LUCK. THIS IS IN YOUR DISTRICT, MA'AM. ANYBODY? THANK YOU. SIR, I WOULD LIKE TO APPROVE ITEM SIX A WITH THE EXCEPTION OF DENIAL OF THE USE OF A CONVENIENCE STORE ALLOWED BY S, U, P OR BY. RIGHT. MOTION FOR APPROVAL WITH THE REMOVAL OF THE CONVENIENCE STORE USE AND A SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER BASS. ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION. MADAM SECRETARY, WOULD YOU PLEASE PREPARE THE VOTE FOR US? AND APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. ALL RIGHT.

[b. Consider a request by TurfMaker, requesting approval of 1) a Specific Use Provision (SUP) to allow an Industrial or Manufacturing, Heavy use and 2) a Concept Plan for the Industrial or Manufacturing, Heavy use. The site is located at 2775 West Kingsley Road on a property zoned Industrial (IN) district in District 5.]

MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT ITEM IS ITEM SIX B. CONSIDER A REQUEST BY TURF MAKER REQUESTING APPROVAL OF ONE. A SPECIFIC USE PROVISION TO ALLOW AN INDUSTRIAL OR MANUFACTURING HEAVY USE, AND TWO A CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE INDUSTRIAL OR MANUFACTURING HEAVY USE SITE.

THE SITE IS LOCATED AT 2775 WEST KINGSLEY ROAD ON A PROPERTY ZONED INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT IN DISTRICT FIVE. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. THIS IS AN SUV REQUEST FOR AN INDUSTRIAL OR MANUFACTURING HEAVY USE AND THE ASSOCIATED CONCEPT PLAN. SO I USUALLY LIKE TO PUT THE DEFINITION OF THE USE THAT SOMEONE'S ASKING FOR AN SUV UP THERE ON THIS SLIDE.

SO WE HAVE TWO INDUSTRIAL OR MANUFACTURING USES. ONE IS THE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL OR MANUFACTURING HEAVY. THE OTHER ONE IS INDUSTRIAL OR MANUFACTURING LIGHT. SO I'LL JUST QUICKLY READ THE DEFINITION OF HEAVY HERE. HEAVY INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING, PROCESSING, ASSEMBLING, RESEARCHING AND DEVELOPING, PACKAGING, SHIPPING, STORING, SERVICING OR OTHER SIMILAR ACTIVITIES THAT ARE NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW AND TYPICALLY INVOLVE THE PROCESSING OR MANUFACTURE OF NONCOMBUSTIBLE NON-CONSUMABLE PRODUCTS FROM

[00:40:05]

RAW MATERIALS WHICH DO NOT MEET STANDARDS SET FORTH IN THE DEFINITION OF LIGHT, INDUSTRIAL OR MANUFACTURING USES. THE REASON I BRING IT UP IS BECAUSE THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL OR MANUFACTURING USE DOES NOT REQUIRE AN SUV WHEN LOCATED IN AN INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT, AS OPPOSED TO THE HEAVY ONE DOES FOR STAFF. THE WAY WE DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE TWO IS WHETHER OR NOT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE BUILDING IS BEING USED FOR MANUFACTURING OR PROCESSING OF RAW MATERIALS. SO IN THIS CASE, THAT'S WHAT THE APPLICANTS DO IN ABOUT 50% OF THE BUILDING WILL BE DEDICATED TOWARD PROCESSING OF RAW MATERIALS, WHICH IS WHY STAFF IDENTIFIED THIS AS AN INDUSTRIAL OR MANUFACTURING HEAVY USE. AS MENTIONED, THIS SITE IS LOCATED AT 2775 WEST KINGSLEY ROAD. IT'S 2.32 ACRES AND ZONED INDUSTRIAL. HERE YOU CAN SEE THE SITE'S ZONING AND THE SURROUNDING ZONING. YOU CAN SEE THE SITE IS LOCATED IN AN INDUSTRIAL ZONE SURROUNDED BY HER INDUSTRIAL USES. IT ISN'T ALREADY DEVELOPED. SITE. THERE WAS A PRIOR INDUSTRIAL USE THAT OCCUPIED THAT SPACE, BUT THAT USE WAS A CUSTOM PRODUCT MANUFACTURING USE THAT DID NOT REQUIRE AN SCP AT THAT TIME. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CALLS THIS AREA OUT AS INDUSTRIAL CENTERS. INDUSTRY CENTERS PROVIDE A CLUSTER OF TRADE AND INDUSTRY THAT CUMULATIVELY EMPLOY A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE. THIS. THIS PROPOSED USE DOES MEET THE INTENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANS INDUSTRY CENTER DESIGNATION AS WELL.

HERE YOU CAN SEE THE SITE PHOTO. THIS IS THE EXISTING BUILDING JUST FROM DIFFERENT VIEWS. HERE WE HAVE THE CONCEPT PLAN. GENERALLY WITH THESE KIND OF PROPOSALS WE DO REQUIRE FOR THE APPLICANT TO PROVIDE IMPROVED LANDSCAPING ALONG THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER TO MAKE THE SITE IMPROVED AND THE CORRIDOR IMPROVED. UNFORTUNATELY FOR THIS PROPERTY, AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS WHERE THEIR LANDSCAPE AREA IS CURRENTLY, WHERE THE GREEN SOD AREA IS. AND THERE ARE FOUR CANOPY TREES, I THINK. BUT THIS MAJORITY OF IT IS ACTUALLY PART OF THE RIGHT OF WAY OF KINGSLEY, AND OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT WOULD NOT AGREE TO US PUTTING A CONDITION OUT THERE THAT YOU PUT CANOPY TREES OUT THERE IN AN AREA THAT IS ACTUALLY DESIGNATED TO BE OUR RIGHTHT OF WAY. SO WE DID WHAT COULD. SO THE APPLICANT, WHAT YOU SEE IN GREEN SQUARE HERE, HERE, HERE AND HERE, THAT'S WHERE THE APPLICANT'S PROVIDING SOME GREENERY AND SHRUBBERY FOR SOME IMPROVEMENTS. THE SITE CURRENTLY HAS 39 PARKING SPACES FOR THIS USE. THEY WILL BE NEEDING 44. SO WHAT YOU SEE IN PURPLE, THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE PROVIDING THE ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES. AND WITH THE NEW PARKING SPACES, THEY WILL BE PROVIDING THE PARKING ISLANDS WITH THE WITH THE PARKING LOT LANDSCAPING AS WELL.

WHAT YOU SEEN YELLOW, THAT'S ALSO A LANDSCAPE AREA WITH FLOWERS. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THE S U P FOR EIGHT YEAR TIME PERIOD FOR THIS KIND OF PROJECTS. OUR TIME PERIOD GUIDELINE RECOMMENDS 5 TO 8 YEARS. THAT'S WHAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING AS WELL. WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THIS. WE ARE WE HAVE PUT IT IN THE CONDITION THAT THE RAW MATERIAL PROCESSING SHOULD NOT, SHALL NOT EXCEED OVER 50% OF THE BUILDING. SO WITHIN 50% OF THE BUILDING, THERE WILL BE THE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL FUNCTIONS, AND THE OTHER 50% WILL BE RESERVED FOR ASSEMBLING, STORING, PACKAGING, SHIPPING OR OTHER FUNCTIONS OF THE USE PLANNING COMMISSION ALSO RECOMMENDED APPROVAL WITH. FOR AN EIGHT YEAR'S U P, WE SENT OUT 69 LETTERS. WE GOT TWO IN FAVOR AND NONE IN OPPOSITION. AND WITH THAT I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT IS HERE. THEY DO NOT HAVE A PRESENTATION, BUT THEY SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS, COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS? I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU. IT'S THE 50% HEAVY MANUFACTURING USE IN THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE BUILDING.

WHAT'S THE REASONING BEHIND THAT? JUST TO NOT HAVE THE BUILDING TO BE FULLY USED WITH THE HEAVY MANUFACTURING USE, WHICH COULD SOMETIMES EVEN FALL UNDER THE RISK HIGH RISK CATEGORY AS WELL. SO WE JUST SINCE THERE'S GOING TO BE FUNCTIONS OF SHIPPING PACKAGING ANYWAY, THE APPLICANT AGREED TO HAVE THAT CONDITION OUT THERE. I AGREE TO IT VERY WELL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS ITEM? NO. MADAM SECRETARY, WOULD YOU PLEE CALL THE APPLICANT UP? IS MISS JUDY ALLEN HERE? I DO NOT HAVE A SPEAKER CARD CURRENTLY. OKAY.

IF YOU WANT TO COME ON UP AND YOU CAN FILL OUT A SPEAKER CARD AFTER. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

[00:45:07]

HELLO. IF YOU GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, YOU HAVE TEN MINUTES TO GIVE A PRESENTATION OR YOU CAN JUST ANSWER QUESTIONS. MY NAME IS JUDY ALLEN. OUR CURRENT ADDRESS IS 4931 GRISHAM DRIVE IN ROWLETT, TEXAS. SO I DON'T HAVE A PRESENTATION, BUT I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU ALREADY. MAYOR PRO TEM, LOOK, HOW MANY EMPLOYEES DO YOU HAVE? CURRENTLY? WE HAVE ABOUT 24. AND WILL YOU JUST BRIEFLY DESCRIBE WHAT IT IS YOUR COMPANY DOES? WE BUILD HYDRO MULCHERS AND STRAW BLOWERS. WE TAKE RAW MATERIAL FROM RAW STEEL. WE HAVE A PRESS BRAKE AND A PLASMA TABLE. WE WE CUT THE RAW MATERIAL, THE STEEL. WE BEND IT. THEN WE SEND IT INTO WELDING. WE HAVE A WELDING STAFF, AND FROM WELDING IT GOES INTO PAINTING. AND WE'RE NOT DOING THAT. WE'RE OUTSOURCING.

THAT COMES BACK INTO FINAL ASSEMBLY. WONDERFUL. I APPRECIATE THE LANDSCAPING IMPROVEMENTS THAT YOU'RE DOING. OKAY. YES, CERTAINLY. AND WELCOME TO GARLAND. SO THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU MA'AM. COUNCILMEMBER WILLIAMS, THANK YOU FOR THE MOVE TO GARLAND THAT ONE MORE TIME. OKAY. I SAID THANK YOU FOR THE MOVE TO GARLAND. OH YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. MY QUESTION IS. 50% OF THE SPACE THESE BUILDINGS DESIGNATED FOR HEAVY MANUFACTURING, AND THEN A PORTION OF IT IS FOR LIGHT, QUOTE, LIGHT MANUFACTURING. HOW DID HOW DID YOU ALL MAKE THAT DETERMINATION? I DON'T THINK WE'LL USE 50% OF IT ACTUALLY, FOR THE HEAVY. I THINK WE'RE MORE ABOUT 30% ON THAT 30%, I THINK. I THINK WE'RE MORE AT 30%. WE'RE WE'RE GROWING AS AN INDUSTRY, AS IN OUR INDUSTRY, AS OUR BUSINESS. SO THAT WAS E NEED FOR US TO MOVE TO GARLAND, TO A BIGGER FACILITY.

OKAY. AND THE, THE LIGHT QUOTE, THE LIGHT MATERIAL. WHAT ABOUT THAT AREA IS WHAT, WHAT ABOUT THAT AREA THAT'S GOING TO BE 70% OF IT RIGHT NOW. SO THAT'S GOING TO BE 70. YES. THE HEAVY EQUIPMENT PROBABLY ABOUT 30. YOU KNOW. AND AS WE'RE GROWING AND THAT MIGHT SWITCH A LITTLE BIT. BUT I THINK THE CITY PUT THAT ON US. THAT RECOMMENDATION OF 50%. OKAY. ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH THAT RECOMMENDATION? YES. AND DO YOU THINK THAT'S THAT WILL BE VIABLE AND GROW YOUR BUSINESS HERE? I BELIEVE SO, YES. OKAY. GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU SIR, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT?LL RIGHT, I SEE NONE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. MADAM SECRETARY. ARE THERE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM? NO, SIR. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE.

MAYOR PRO TEM, THIS IS IN YOUR DISTRICT. YES, SIR. MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM SIX B AS PRESENTED.

MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM IN A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER. PASS ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION.

MOTION TO APPROVE. MADAM SECRETARY, PLEASE PREPARE THE VOTE FOR US. ITEM IS APPROVED

[c. Consider a request by Endeavor Real Estate Group, requesting approval of a change in zoning from Agricultural (AG) district to Planned Development (PD) district 84-96. The site is located at 6211 North George Bush Highway on a property zoned Agricultural (AG) district in District 7.]

UNANIMOUSLY. MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT ITEM IS ITEM SIX C. CONSIDER A REQUEST BY ENDEAVOR REAL ESTATE GROUP REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A CHANGE IN ZONING FROM AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. DISTRICT 8496. THE SITE IS LOCATED AT 6211 NORTH GEORGE BUSH HIGHWAY ON A PROPERTY ZONED AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT IN DISTRICT SEVEN. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. AS MENTIONED, THE REQUEST IS TO CHANGE A CURRENT PD CURRENT AGRICULTURAL ZONE SITE TO AN ADJACENT PD. THIS IS LOCATED IN DISTRICT SEVEN, THE SITE THAT IS IN THAT IS THE PART OF THE REQUEST IS ABOUT 1.9 ACRES. THE PD THAT THEY'RE REQUESTING TO JOIN IS ABOUT 18 ACRES. THIS IS THE LOCATION MAP. WHAT YOU SEE IN GREEN AND OUTLINED IN TEAL. THAT IS THE SCOPE OF THE ZONING REQUEST. WHAT YOU SEE IN HATCHED LIGHT PURPLE LIGHT PINK IS THE PD 84 DASH 96. SO THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THIS TRIANGLE TO BECOME A PART OF THIS PD THAT IS IN HATCHED PINK TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE OF THE OUTLINED AREA. SO I'LL PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON THAT. SO PD 84 DASH 96 HAS A BASE ZONING OF COMMUNITY OFFICE.

[00:50:02]

AS YOU ALL ARE AWARE OF SB 840 THAT DOES ALLOW THAT SITE TO BE DEVELOPED WITH MULTIFAMILY USE.

SO THE APPLICANT HAS BEEN WORKING WITH STAFF IN PROPOSING A MULTIFAMILY PROJECT IN THAT SITE AND KIND OF APPLYING OUR NEWLY APPROVED MULTIFAMILY STANDARDS ON THAT SITE, AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. THAT SITE THAT IS PD 8496, AND THE SITE THAT IS PART OF THE THAT IS THE REQUEST FOR TONIGHT THAT'S OWNED BY THE SAME ENTITY AND THEY'RE BEING COMBINED. THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST IS TO COMBINE IT, HAVE THE SAME ZONING ON BOTH PIECES SO THAT THEY CAN UNIFORM, THEY CAN USE MORE SPACE FOR THEIR MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT. SO FAR, BASED ON WHAT WE HAVE SEEN ON INFORMALLY ON THE ON WHAT THE, WHAT THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING ON THE PD 84 DASH 96 SITE. THERE'S NOT MUCH THAT'S GOING TO BE PLACED ON THE TRIANGULAR SITE, BUT THAT'LL JUST GIVE THEM MORE SPACE TO SMOOTHLY USE THE, THE AVAILABLE SPACE FOR THEIR DEVELOPMENT. THE APPLICANT IS HERE. HE CAN SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT IT. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A FORMAL SUBMITTAL YET, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH STAFF TO DEVELOP THAT SITE. WITH MULTIFAMILY. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOES DESIGNATE THAT AS A BUSINESS CENTER. BUSINESS CENTERS PROVIDE A CLUSTER OF BUSINESS OFFICES AND OR LOW IMPACT INDUSTRY. IT IS DEBATABLE WHETHER OR NOT IT ALL MEETS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INTENT. HOWEVER, WITH SBA 40 THAT THAT KIND OF CHANGES THE ENTIRE DYNAMIC AND ALLOWS MULTIFAMILY THERE BY. RIGHT. SINCE THAT'S THE CASE, WE DO THINK IT'S BEST TO BRING THAT LITTLE TRIANGLE WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT SO THAT THAT'S NOT LEFT OUT THERE WITHOUT TRUE POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT ALONG 190. HERE ARE SOME SITE PHOTOS. AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS UNDEVELOPED SITE. HERE YOU COULD SEE THE OUTLINE AGAIN IN AN EXHIBIT. WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING TO BRING UNDER PD 8496 PLAN TO THE PLAN COMMISSION DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR THIS REQUEST. WE SENT OUT NINE LETTERS. WE GOT ONE IN FAVOR AND ONE IN OPPOSITION. THAT'S OUTSIDE OF THE NOTIFICATION AREA. HOWEVER, THERE WAS NOT A COMMENT ATTACHED TO THE OPPOSITION LETTER. AND WITH THAT, I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF ON THIS ITEM? I SEE NONE. THANK YOU. AND THE PRESENTATION. MADAM SECRETARY, WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL THE APPLICANT UP? ZACH JOHNSTON? IS THAT FOR STAFF? OKAY, WE DO HAVE A QUESTION. ONE SECOND. COUNCIL MEMBER BASS, ACTUALLY. THANK YOU, NABILA. APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION. ACTUALLY, FOR OUR VIEWING AUDIENCE, CAN YOU EXPLAIN OUR LIMITATIONS WITH SBA 40? YES, SIR. SO SBA 40 IS A RECENT BILL THAT WAS PASSED DURING THE 89TH LEGISLATIVE LEGISLATURE, WHICH DOES RESTRICT THE CITY FROM ENFORCING CERTAIN STANDARDS ON MULTIFAMILY AND MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS. SO THE THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER THINGS THAT GO GO INTO IT, BUT THE PREMISE OF IT IS THAT WHEREVER IN THE CITY, COMMERCIAL IS ALLOWED, OFFICE IS ALLOWED, WAREHOUSES ALLOWED. BASICALLY ALL NONRESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS EXCEPT INDUSTRIAL.
