NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA. PUBLIC
[a. Z 26-03 Paras Khara (District 7)]
HEARING ITEM TWO A HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING. AND CONSIDER THE APPLICATION OF PARIS CARA REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A SPECIFIC USE PROVISION FOR A CAR WASH, AUTOMATED ROLLOVER USE AND PROPERTY, ZONED COMMUNITY RETAIL AND A CONCEPT PLAN FOR A CAR WASH. AUTOMATED ROLLOVER USE. THIS SITE IS LOCATED 30 401 WEST BUCKINGHAM ROAD. GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. THIS IS PLANNER WITH THE CITY PRESENTING THE CASE. Z 20 603.THE APPLICANT REQUESTED SPECIFIC USE PROVISION FOR A CAR WASH. AUTOMATED ROLLOVER USE. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 3401 WEST BUCKINGHAM ROAD AND THE SIZE OF THE PROPERTY IS 1.07 ACRES AND IT IS ZONED COMMUNITY RETAIL RIGHT NOW. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY HAS BEEN OPERATED AS A CAR WASH SINCE ITS CONSTRUCTION IN 1988. PER DCAD. THE EXISTING BUILDING IS APPROXIMATELY LIKE 7669FT■S, AND AS A PART OF THIS REDEVELOPMENT, THIS SCP REQUEST, THERE WOULD BE A ACTIVITY RELATED TO READ RE DEMOLITION AND RECONSTRUCTION. SO THE EXISTING BUILDING WOULD BE REDUCED TO APPROXIMATELY 5938FT■S. AND ALSO THERE ARE ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES AS A PART OF THIS PROJECT WHERE THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING ALONG WEST BUCKINGHAM AND CIRCULATION IMPROVEMENTS, UPGRADED VACUUM AREAS AND UPDATED SIGNAGE AS WELL. THIS IS A LAND USE MAP ZONING MAP. RIGHT NOW. THE ZONING MAP AS. AS I TOLD YOU, THE SITE IS LOCATED ALONG WEST BUCKINGHAM ROAD AND HAS ITS PRIMARY ACCESS FROM THE WEST. BUCKINGHAM AND AS WELL AS THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL ACCESS DRIVE
[00:05:05]
ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY WHICH WOULD. WHICH IS A MUTUAL ACCESS TO THE HOME DEPOT ON THE NORTH. THE SURROUNDING AREAS ARE PREDOMINANTLY DEVELOPED WITH COMMERCIAL AND SERVICE ORIENTED USES, INCLUDING HOME DEPOT ON THE NORTH ZONED COMMERCIAL COMMUNITY RETAIL EAST. THERE IS A DAYCARE CENTER AND PLACE OF WORSHIP ZONED CR AS WELL. THERE IS A MEDICAL CENTER TO THE SOUTH WHICH IS ZONED PD, BUT THE ZONING FOR IT IS CR AGAIN AND ON THE WEST THERE IS A CHASE BANK. SO THE CONTINUED OPERATION OF THE CAR WASH, ALONG WITH THE PROPOSED SITE IMPROVEMENTS, WILL ENHANCE THE OVERALL FUNCTIONALITY AND VISUAL CHARACTER OF THE PROPERTY, WHILE REMAINING COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING LAND USES AND THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATES THIS AREA AS NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS, WHICH ARE INTENDED TO PROVIDE A MIX OF RETAIL, SERVICE AND COMMUNITY ORIENTED USES, AND THE PROPOSED CAR WASH IS CONSISTENT WITH THIS DESIGNATION AS IT IT HAS BEEN SERVING NEIGHBORHOOD FOR ALMOST LIKE 38 YEARS ALONG THIS EXISTING COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR. AND THESE ARE SOME SITE PHOTOS OF HOW THE EXISTING SITE IS LOOKING. SO THAT'S THE CAR WASH WITH THE TUNNEL AND A PARKING CONDITION. RIGHT NOW, THE CONSTRUCTION THIS CONSTRUCTION OCCURRED PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF THE CURRENT GDC, WHICH REQUIRES A SUB FOR A CAR WASH RIGHT NOW. AS A RESULT, THE EXISTING USE IS CONSIDERED LEGAL NON-CONFORMING. THE PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT AND SITE MODIFICATIONS TRIGGER COMPLIANCE WITH THE CURRENT GDC STANDARDS. SO WHICH REQUIRES AN SUV FOR THE CR DISTRICT. THIS IS A CONCEPT PLAN. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO MODERNIZE THE SITE THROUGH THE PARTIAL DEMOLITION OF THE EXISTING BUILDING, REDUCING ITS SIZE, ADDING CANOPIES, IMPROVING CIRCULATION AND ENHANCED LANDSCAPING. AND THIS ALSO INCLUDES REMOVAL OF EXISTING SIDE POLE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY AND REPLACING IT WITH A NEW MONUMENT SIGN ALONG WEST BUCKINGHAM ROAD. AND HERE ARE SOME ELEVATED ELEVATIONS RENDERINGS. PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A 30 YEAR, 30 YEAR TIME PERIOD, BUT THE SCP PERIOD GUIDE RECOMMENDS A RANGE OF 8 TO 15 YEARS. SINCE THIS IS A PARTIAL REDEVELOPMENT AND ACCORDING TO THE RECENTLY ADOPTED GUIDE, IN THE LAST MONTH, IT REQUIRES ONLY 8 TO 15 YEAR'S TIME PERIOD. SO THE STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THIS SCP FOR 15 YEAR TIME PERIOD AND ALSO ASSOCIATED CONCEPT PLAN WITH CONDITION. THAT WHOLE SIGN BEING REMOVED AND A MONUMENT SIGN BE INSTALLED. PER GDC STANDARDS. THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT AGAIN WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN VISION AND IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT PATTERN. WITH THE CONTEXT OF USE BEING CURRENTLY OPERATING. THE SITE HAS HISTORICALLY OPERATED AS A CAR WASH, AND THE PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT FACILITATES REINVESTMENT AND MODERNIZATION OF THE USE. THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS ARE WILL IMPROVE THE OVERALL FUNCTIONALITY AND VISUAL CHARACTER OF THE PROPERTY. A TOTAL OF 47 NOTICES WERE MAILED TO THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS. WE RECEIVED NONE IN FAVOR. AND NONE AGAINST AS WELL. SO WITH THIS, I'M OPEN TO QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER JENKINS AND THEN COMMISSIONER PARIS. GOOD EVENING SIR. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. CAN YOU GO BACK TO A FEW SLIDES? FIRST, THE THE SIDE VIEW OF THE PROPERTY THAT HAS THE ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS, THE DESIGN ELEMENTS. I WAS TRYING TO SEE WHAT WERE THE SIX ELEMENTS THAT THEY'VE AGREED TO THAT STAFF PROPOSE. THOSE ARE THE THE APPLICANT CHOOSE THE DESIGN ELEMENTS. YES. THAT WERE THEY WERE THE DESIGN ELEMENTS, YOU KNOW, ENCOURAGED BY STAFF TO DO WITH THE, THE SORT OF NON RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OR CHANGES TO A NONRESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES REQUIRES TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ARCHITECTURAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE GDC. SO THERE ARE LIKE ABOUT MORE THAN 15 ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS IN THE GDC OUT OF THEM. THE APPLICANT APPLICANT CAN CHOOSE ANY SIX TO BE INCORPORATED INTO A NEW. THIS DEVELOPMENT. AWESOME. THANK YOU. NEXT QUESTION FOR[00:10:05]
YOU. CAN YOU GO TO THE OVERHEAD. BOTH THE CONCEPT PLAN AND THE. YES. SO I AM UNDER UNDER UNDER THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY'RE LOSING 1000FT■S OF CURRENT BUILDING SPACE THAT IS CURRENTLY UNOCCUPIED. OR IS IT OCCUPIED? SORRY, I DIDN'T GET THE QUESTION. SO THEY'RE DEMOLISHING A PORTION OF THE CURRENT PROPERTY AND IN SO DOING, LOSING 1000FT■S OF OCCUPIED. YEAH, IT WAS OCCUPIED. IT IS AN OCCUPYING SPACE. SO BUT IT'S MORE FOR LIKE, I THINK IT'S MORE FOR THE CUSTOMERS. AND ALSO THERE IS A EXISTING. THERE IS AN EXISTING LIKE A ENTRY LINE IN THE CURRENT SITE PLAN. IF YOU LOOK AT THE CURRENT OVER HERE, LIKE CURRENT SITE CONDITIONS THERE, THERE ARE LIKE IT'S NOT CLEAR OVER HERE. LET ME ZOOM. SO THERE, THERE IS LIKE A ENTRY PASSAGE ON THAT SIDE. AND ALSO THERE IS A SEATING AREA PROVIDED FOR THE CUSTOMERS RIGHT NOW IN THAT WHICH IS OCCUPIED BY THE CUSTOMERS. SO THEY ARE TRYING TO ELIMINATE THAT PORTION. AND JUST UTILIZE A MINIMAL 2000 SQUARE FOOTAGE OF AREA FOR OFFICE SPACE. AND THEY'RE GONNA KEEP THE TUNNEL AS IT IS THE WAY RIGHT NOW. OKAY. CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE SITE PLAN? YES, THE CONCEPT PLAN. EXCUSE ME. STAFF WAS COMPLETELY OKAY WITH THE FLOW EGRESS FLOW HERE. SO IT LOOKS REALLY I THINK THERE'S A 15 FOOT EASEMENT THAT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE. WHAT'S HIGHLIGHTED THERE. YOU CAN'T SEE THE THE EGRESS FLOW BETWEEN THE TWO LOTS. STAFF IS OKAY WITH WITH THAT. THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY BACKUP FROM, I GUESS, CARS THAT ARE TRYING TO GET TO THE, THE PAY LINES FROM THE OTHER DIRECTIONS. YEAH. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SOUNDS GOOD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. YOU'RE WELCOME. COMMISSIONER PARIS. I HAD JUST HAD ONE QUICK CLARIFICATION. THE SVP GUIDE IS NOW 8 TO 15 YEARS. YES, I THOUGHT THAT I HEARD YOU SAY THAT THEY WERE REQUESTING 30 YEARS. YES, BUT THE MAXIMUM IS 15. YES. THERE YOU THAT STAFF HAS COMMUNICATED THAT TO TO O TE APPLICANT. ACTUALLY THERE IS NO MAXIMUM. IT'S JUST A GUIDELINE, JUST A GUIDELINE. YOU KNOW, WE CAN SET OUR OWN BUILDING AND COUNCIL WOULD MAKE THE FINAL DECISION. YEAH. AND HERE IT SAYS MAXIMUM ALLOWED TIME PERIOD. I WAS JUST I WAS JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE I WAS CLEAR ON WHAT THE ASK IS VERSUS WHAT.GO AHEAD. YEAH, IT'S A RECOMMENDED TIME PERIOD. SO EVEN THOUGH WE'VE ADOPTED IT TO BE 8 TO 15 YEARS, YOU ALL HAVE THE FREE RANGE TO MAKE IT 25, 30 YEARS OR HOWEVER YOU SEE FIT.
OKAY. AND THEN SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU BOTH FOR THAT, CHAIRMAN. AND THANK YOU. SO BUT SO THE APPLICANT IS WAS REQUESTING 30 YEARS. SO WHEN THEY WERE AWARE THAT IT'S 15 AND THEN WHAT WAS THEIR FEEDBACK? YES. SO WHEN THEY WERE HERE, I THINK THAT BY THE TIME THE RECENT GUIDELINE WAS NOT ADOPTED. SO WHEN THEY WERE SUBMITTING THE APPLICATION, SO THEY DID MENTION IT LIKE 30 THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED TIME FRAME ACCORDING TO THEIR INITIAL SUBMISSION. THEN LATER, YEAH, WE KIND OF UPDATED THE APPLICANT ABOUT THIS NEW ADOPTION AND YEAH, HE'S FINE WITH THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER DUCKWORTH. YES. IS THIS BUSINESS CURRENTLY HAVE AN S U P IS THIS RENEWAL OR A NEW S U P? IT'S GOING TO BE A NEW SAP. ACCORDING TO THE PREVIOUS. REGULATIONS, THIS USE WAS NOT REQUIRING ANY SORT OF SUBS. SINCE THIS THIS INVOLVES A REDEVELOPMENT AND EVERYTHING.
SO THIS USE RIGHT NOW ACCORDING TO CURRENT CDC REQUIRES S U P. SO AS IT STANDS NOW, IT DOESN'T REQUIRE AN ISSUE. YES SIR. THE CHANGES ARE REQUIRING THE ISSUE. THE CHANGES REQUIRES THE SUV RIGHT. THE WAY IT IS RIGHT NOW. IT DOESN'T REQUIRE. THANK YOU. AND 88 THERE WERE NO REQUIREMENTS LIKE THAT. SO IT WAS ALLOWED. AND THEN THE REQUIREMENT CAME IN WHICH MADE IT LEGAL NON-CONFORMING AND ANY CHANGE. AND THIS IS A SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE TRIGGERS THE REQUIREMENT. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER. NO. SO KIND OF IN SUMMARY, THIS IS A BUILDING THAT'S GOING TO BE PRETTY MUCH TOTALLY DEMOLISHED OR PARTIALLY DEMOLISHED AND REDONE. AND THEN THE SITE WILL BE BROUGHT UP TO ALL STANDARDS, AND THEY'LL BE REMOVING THE POLE SIGN. AND THEY HAVEN'T ASKED FOR ANY DEVIATIONS EITHER, HAVE THEY? NOT REALLY. GOOD. SO THERE'S AND IT WAS IN THE STAFF REPORT THAT THE LOCATION OF THE DUMPSTER HAS NOT YET BEEN
[00:15:05]
FINALIZED, BUT THAT WILL BE REVIEWED DURING THE ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE REQUEST. SO THAT MAY BE A VARIANCE, BUT IT CAN'T BE SOMETHING THAT'S REVIEWED AS PART OF THE S U P REQUEST. YEAH, I READ THAT. SO IF NECESSARY THAT WOULD COME BACK TO US FOR DEVIATION. IT WOULD BE AN ADMINISTRATIVE REQUEST. SO STAFF WOULD REVIEW IT AND LOOK IN AN APPROPRIATE LOCATION FOR THE. OKAY. GOOD ENOUGH. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I DON'T HAVE A SPEAKER CARD ON THIS. IS THE APPLICANT HERE. DID THEY WISH TO COME UP AND ADDRESS THE COMMISSION? YEAH. DID YOU DID YOU WANT TO COME UP AND. OH GO AHEAD. COME ON UP. YOU CAN FILL OUT THE CARD LATER. WE'RE RATHER INFORMAL HERE. GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS PARIS. ADDRESS IS 660 LAVERTON DRIVE IN FRISCO, TEXAS. I'M THE OWNER OF CAR WASH. JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND. WE'RE A FAMILY OWNED, LOCALLY OPERATED BUSINESS BASED HERE IN THE DALLAS FORT WORTH METRO AREA. OUR FOCUS IS ON DELIVERING A HIGH QUALITY, MODERN CAR WASH EXPERIENCE, WITH A STRONG EMPHASIS ON CUSTOMER SERVICE AND COMMUNITY. OUR BIG PART OF OUR APPROACH IS REVITALIZING OLDER UNDER UNDERPERFORMING CAR WASH PROPERTIES AND TRANSFORMING THEM INTO CLEAN, MODERN AND VISUALLY APPEALING SITES THAT ENHANCE THE SURROUNDING AREAS AND NEIGHBORHOODS. WE SEE THIS PROJECT AS A HUGE OPPORTUNITY TO HELP MODERNIZE AND BEAUTIFY THIS CORRIDOR IN THE CITY OF GARLAND. BEYOND OUR FACILITIES, WE'RE COMMITTED TO BEING ACTIVE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE, SUPPORTING LOCAL SCHOOLS, NON-PROFITS, AND HOSTING EVENTS THAT BRING THE FAMILIES TOGETHER. AND OUR GOAL IS TO CREATE A PLACE THAT ADDS VALUE NOT JUST FOR OUR CUSTOMERS, BUT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS A WHOLE.WE'RE PROUD TO CONTRIBUTE LOCAL JOBS AND ONGOING INVESTMENT INTO THE AREAS WE OPERATE, AND WE'RE EXCITED FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING THAT HERE TO THE CITY OF GARLAND. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TONIGHT, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
COMMISSIONER ABLE THANK YOU SIR. ONE QUESTION BECAUSE I'M JUST LOOKING AND I USE THIS CAR WASH CURRENTLY. ARE YOU GUYS WITH ANY OF THIS BE FULL SERVICE. ARE YOU GOING TO A STRAIGHT SELF-SERVE MODEL? YEAH. SO THIS ONE WILL BE CONVERTING TO A SELF-SERVE MODEL WITH ALL THE AMENITIES IN THE PARKING LOT. AND SO ALL OF OUR SITES WILL HAVE ALL THE TOWELS AND GLASS CLEANER AND ALL THAT FOR SELF-SERVICE IN THE PARKING LOT. AND I'M LOOKING KIND OF HERE WHERE THE POLE SIGN HOME DEPOT THAT IS, IS OVER HERE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. WILL YOU BE CLOSING THAT DOWN SO THERE'S NO LONGER TWO ENTRANCES THERE? YOU'LL HAVE ONE, THE CLOSEST ONE TO THE TIRE SHOP. SO ACTUALLY BOTH OF THEM WILL BE CLOSED. AND WHERE THAT POLE SIGN CURRENTLY IS, WE'LL BE TAKING THAT DOWN AND OPENING UP THAT JUST TO ALLOW FOR A BETTER EGRESS OUT OF THERE. BOTH THOSE OPENINGS ARE VERY TIGHT. YES, I AGREE WITH THAT. AND YOU'RE STAYING PRETTY MUCH IN THE SAME SPOT BECAUSE OF THE CUT OUTS ON BUCKINGHAM. YES. I'M JUST LOOKING WHERE A DUMPSTER MIGHT POSSIBLY GO. AND WE'VE HAD A WE'VE HAD A FEW OPTIONS THAT WE WERE GOING TO DISCUSS. AN ALTERNATIVE. YEAH. THE ONLY THING THAT I COULD SEE MIGHT BE THERE ON THAT SIDE WHERE THEY COME IN FROM THE HOME DEPOT SIDE AT CHASE THERE, THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO ME. BUT OTHERWISE, I LIKE WHAT YOU'RE DOING, SO I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE IT. ALRIGHTY. COMMISSIONER JENKINS AND THEN COMMISSIONER DUCKWORTH. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING DOWN AND FOR YOUR FOR THIS APPLICATION FOR THE PROPOSAL, I'M GOING TO REVISIT THE QUESTION THAT I WAS ASKING EARLIER REGARDING EGRESS. HOW MANY CARS, HOW MANY, I GUESS, ANTICIPATED CARS CAN YOU ALL DO IN AN HOUR, SO TO SPEAK? YEAH. AND SO IT REALLY IS JUSTIFIED BASED ON THE SPEED OF THE CONVEYOR. AND THEN ALSO THE TRAFFIC FLOW HERE. WE INCORPORATED A PRETTY LARGE QUEUE LANE AND POSTPAY QUEUE AREA. SO IF YOU FOLLOW THE THE CONCEPT PLAN, IF YOU SEE I DON'T THINK YOU SEE THE MOUSE, BUT AS THEY GO THROUGH THE PAY AREA AND THEN GO AROUND THE CORNER TO ENTER THE TUNNEL, WE'VE MADE THAT LONGER TO ACCOMMODATE FOR A LOT MORE TRAFFIC. WE. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION DIRECTLY, WE CAN ACCOMMODATE UP TO. I WOULD SAY PROBABLY ABOUT 120 CARS PER HOUR. SO IT'S ABOUT TWO PER MINUTE. AND THE FLOW THAT WE ANTICIPATE IS PEOPLE ENTERING OFF OF WEST BUCKINGHAM AND GOING TO THE PAY AREA, EXITING THE TUNNEL AND THEN GOING TO THE SELF-SERVICE SLOTS AND EXITING OUT THROUGH THAT EGRESS FROM CONNECTED TO HOME DEPOT. WE'VE WE'VE PUSHED BACK THE LANDSCAPING AS PER THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE GDC, TO ALLOW FOR A LITTLE BIT EASIER EGRESS ON THAT BUCKINGHAM EXIT.
CURRENTLY, RIGHT NOW IT'S VERY CLOSE TO THE STREET. AND SO IT DOESN'T SUPPORT. IF THERE WAS A BACKUP, THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF CONGESTION THAT COULD OCCUR THERE, BUT WE'RE PUSHING THAT
[00:20:05]
BACK TO ALLOW FOR SOME VEHICLE TRAFFIC TO SAFELY EXIT ALONG BUCKINGHAM. THIS IS THIS QUESTION IS ADMITTEDLY NOT A SMART QUESTION. I THINK THAT THE DIRECTIONAL SIGNS THAT YOU PROVIDED US HERE IN THE CONCEPT PLAN ARE VERY HELPFUL. AND I'M CONCERNED THAT THE PUBLIC MAY NOT BE FULLY AWARE OF HOW THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO NAVIGATE THE SITE, GIVEN SOME OF ITS CONSTRAINTS. SO MY QUESTION REALLY IS WHAT WHAT SORT OF INDICATORS WILL YOU HAVE TO ASSIST WITH THAT? YEAH, SURE. GREAT QUESTION. WE WILL ACTUALLY BE MARKING THE PAVEMENT WITH THE DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE. MAYBE NOT AS MUCH AS ON THIS CONCEPT PLAN HERE. AND THEN TYPICALLY WHAT WE DO IS FOR THE FIRST FEW WEEKS, WE ACTUALLY HAVE OUR STAFF DIRECTING TRAFFIC AND MAKING SURE THAT CUSTOMERS UNDERSTAND HOW THE FLOW IS, JUST BECAUSE IT WAS AN EXISTING PROPERTY THAT CUSTOMERS ARE USED TO TRAVELING A VERY DIFFERENT WAY.SO WE DO. WHEN WE DO REOPEN, WE'LL ACTUALLY HAVE CONES AND STAFF OUT THERE HELPING GUIDE TRAFFIC WITH THE NEW TRAFFIC FLOW. AND THEN WE ALWAYS INTRODUCE A LITTLE BIT MORE SIGNAGE THAN, THAN MAYBE NEEDED JUST TO HELP WITH THAT FLOW AND HELP DIRECTING TRAFFIC AND HOW MANY PARKING SPACES PER PER AREA CAN YOU RECALL? OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, I BELIEVE THERE'S CURRENTLY THERE'S SEVEN ON THE TOP LEFT, SEVEN ON THE BOTTOM LEFT, AND THEN ANOTHER SEVEN ON THE TOP RIGHT AND ANOTHER EIGHT ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT, I BELIEVE. SO I THINK THERE'S 29. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. OF COURSE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER DUCKWORTH, THANK YOU FOR HELPING US TO UPGRADE OUR CAR WASHES. AND GARLAND, THANK LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. YOU MENTIONED EMPLOYMENT. CURRENTLY, EMPLOYEES ARE EMPLOYED AT THE OLD STATION AND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IN THE IN YOUR NEW STATION, THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES, THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES. YEAH. CURRENTLY WE HAVE ABOUT 18 EMPLOYEES RIGHT NOW AT THE EXISTING SITE. WE'VE ACTUALLY RETAINED ALL THE EMPLOYEES OF WHEN WE ACQUIRED IT. AND THEN WE ACTUALLY PLAN ON KEEPING AROUND 16 TO 18 AS WELL. AND THEN WE'VE ACTUALLY GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE WE'LL BE CLOSING FOR RENOVATION, GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO THOSE STAFF TO ACTUALLY GET TO MOVE TO ONE OF OUR OTHER LOCATIONS WHILE WE'RE SHUT DOWOWN AS WELL.
THANK YOU FOR THAT POSITIVE APPROACH. I THINK THAT'S IT. AWESOME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. I HAVE NO OTHER SPEAKER CARDS IN THIS CASE. ANYBODY ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS CASE? SEEING NO ONE COMMISSIONER'S MOTION DISCUSSION, COMMISSIONER PARIS MOVED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND AND OPEN FOR DISCUSSION. AND WE HAVE A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER JENKINS. COMMISSIONER MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING BY COMMISSIONER, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER JENKINS. THERE WE GO. PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. WE ARE NOW IN DISCUSSION MODE. COMMISSIONER ABLE. I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO MR. JENKINS ABOUT THE INGRESS EGRESS. YOUR MIC IS LIVE NOW, SIR, I, I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE GOING. CLOSING THIS DOWN THIS WAY. PEOPLE ARE REALLY TRAINED TO COME IN ON BUCKINGHAM. NOW. THE NATURAL FLOW COMES IN FROM THERE OR YOU TURN LEFT INTO IT. IT'S A VERY TIGHT TURN TO MAKE THAT U-TURN INTO THE FIRST SECTION, WHERE YOU GET IN NEXT TO CHASE BANK AND THAT SECTION. YES, PLEASE BRING THE PLAN BACK UP. IT'S ALREAD HERE WITH YOU. COMMISSIONER. WE'RE WITH YOU.
PLEASE. OKAY. SO IF IF YOU THINK YOU IMMEDIATELY COME IN THERE AND YOU HAVE TO TURN NOW, AND THEY ALREADY HAVE CONES SET UP. SO WITH MY TRUCK, I CANNOT GO IN THAT DIRECTION JUST BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT THEY HAVE IT SET UP. OKAY. I HAVE TO COME IN OFF OF BUCKINGHAM AS IT IS TO GET OUT FROM THAT AREA. TAKES YOU INTO A TURN AND MOVING IT BACK THERE. I DON'T SEE ANY PROBLEMS. AS SOMEONE WHO FREQUENTS THIS THING SIX, EIGHT TIMES A MONTH, SO I'M, I REALLY LIKE WHAT THEY'RE DOING. IT'S GOING TO BE NICE. NO, THAT'S. THANK YOU FOR THAT.
[00:25:02]
THAT'S HELPFUL. I DON'T FREQUENT THAT AREA, ALTHOUGH I PASS BY IT. I WAS ONLY CONCERNED THAT WE'VE. WE'VE INDICATED THAT WE'RE DOING ROUGHLY 100 CARS AN HOUR ISH, BUT THE PARKING THERE IS 25, 26 SPACES. THE PARKING CAR WASHES THAT I'VE HAD THAT HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF A JOY TO GO TO. SOMETIMES YOU'LL SPEND TIME LOOKING FOR AN OPEN SPACE WHERE THERE MAY NOT BE ONE. AND I WAS CONCERNED THAT BECAUSE OF THE PATTERN OR THE LAYOUT AS WE HAVE IT NOW, YOU MAY HAVE SOME CONGESTION ON THE SITE THAT MIGHT LEAD TO SOME UNCERTAINTY OR CONFUSION ON THE STREET. I YOU KNOW, IF IF WE'VE GOT VOTES OF CONFIDENCE FROM THE PEOPLE THAT DO THIS FOR, YOU KNOW, BUSINESS, THE EXPERTS AND YOU, SIR, THEN I'M GOOD TO GO. I WAS JUST AGAIN, THAT WAS I AND I'M JUST SAYING I KNOWING THIS LONGER ENTRY LANE AND THE TIME IT TAKES TO GET THROUGH AS LONG AS THEY ARE ON TOP OF LIMITING BECAUSE CLOSEST THINGS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD CAR SPA LIMITS THEM, LIMITS THEIR CUSTOMERS TO EIGHT MINUTES AND THEY ACTUALLY WALK AROUND AND THEY'RE LIKE, OKAY, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE DRIED, YOU'VE WASHED, YOU'VE, YOU'VE BEEN HERE, IT'S TIME TO GO. AS LONG AS THEY STAY ON TOP OF IT, I THINK IT WILL BE GOOD.THERE'S SEVERAL THAT OPERATE THIS WAY. ONE IN DALLAS ON PLANO ROAD, THE CAR SPA. AND VERY RARELY DO YOU SEE A LOT OF BACKUP. SO I I'M OPTIMISTIC, AND I THINK IT'S A. I THINK IT'LL DO A GOOD THING TO RENOVATE A BUILDING THAT QUITE FRANKLY NEEDS IT. SO YEAH, I LIKE IT. I, I LIKE IT SO MUCH. I'D BE IN FAVOR OF A 30 YEAR'S U P I WOULD DO THAT AS WELL.
ALRIGHTY. Y'ALL DONE? YEP. THANK YOU COMMISSIONER CORNELIUS. WELL, I JUST WANTED TO COSIGN BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TO THESE TYPES OF CAR WASHES BEFORE, SPECIFICALLY THE CAR SPA. AND IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE TO ME. IT'S VERY EASY. IT'S NOT CONGESTED. AND AS SOMEONE WHO HAS NO PATIENCE, I MEAN LIKE ZERO PATIENCE. IT WORKS. IT WORKS FOR ME. AND I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. I'M ALL IN FAVOR OF THIS ONE. AND COMMISSIONER JENKINS, I ALSO REALLY LIKE IT.
I'M ASKING FOR REQUEST TO SPEAK ONLY BECAUSE I WOULD, WITH THE APPLICANT, COMPLYING WITH ALL REQUIREMENTS OF THE LANDSCAPING, WHICH I ABSOLUTELY ADORE. I WOULD HOPE THAT THE APPLICANT CHOOSES PLANTS NATIVE TO TEXAS THAT DON'T REQUIRE A LOT OF EXTRA UPKEEP, AND WILL ACTUALLY ADD TO THE CULTURE OF THE ENVIRONMENT AS OPPOSED TO CREATE MODELS. BUT THAT'S JUST MY OWN PRIVATE THING AGAINST. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I SEE NO OTHER COMMENTS. I'D PROBABLY GO MORE FOR 15 YEARS. BUT IN LIGHT OF, YOU KNOW, I'LL GO WITH WHATEVER THAT IS SECONDARY ISSUE COMPARED TO WHAT'S BEING DONE HERE. YEAH. WELL, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
COMMISSIONER CORNELIUS. ALL RIGHT. LET ME GET YOU LIVE THERE. I'D LIKE TO MAKE I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION APPROVE ITEM TWO A, AS PRESENTED BY STAFF WITH THE 15 YEAR RECOMMENDATION. I THINK THAT WORKS OKAY. AND THAT WOULD INCLUDE ALL THE REQUIREMENTS AND ALL THE REQUIREMENTS AS PRESENTED BY STAFF. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND I SEE A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER ABEL. CORRECT? CORRECT. EVERYTHING ELSE. ALL RIGHTY. YEAH. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? THE MOTION IS TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION WITH THE S, U, P AND THE CONCEPT PLAN AND THE SCP FOR A PERIOD OF 15 YEARS. AND THAT'S WITH ALL THE PROVISIONS LAID OUT BY STAFF. ALRIGHTY. PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. ALL
[b. Z 26-07 Srinivas Chaluvadi (District 7)]
RIGHT. NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA AND I APOLOGIZE FOR MISPRONUNCIATION OF NAMES BECAUSE I'VE GOT A MASTER'S IN IT. HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE APPLICATION OF SHRINIVAS CHEVELDAE REQUESTING APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 15 DASH 40 3PD 15 DASH 43 TO MODIFY PARKING STANDARDS FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND ADOPT THE CURRENT OFF STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS OF THE GARLAND GDC. THE SITE IS LOCATED AT 6313 NORTH PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH HIGHWAY. GOOD EVENING AGAIN. GOOD EVENING AGAIN. THIS ONE Z[00:30:02]
20 607. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING FOR AN AMENDMENT TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 15 DASH 43 FOCUS FOR LIKE A MIXED USES TO MODIFY PARKING STANDARDS FOR FOR THIS PROPERTY AND ADOPT THE CURRENT OFF STREET REGULATIONS, ACCORDING TO THE GDC. IT'S ADDRESSED AT 6313 NORTH PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH HIGHWAY. THE APPLICANT IS. SRINIVASAN. THIS HAS A. THIS PROPERTY IS SIZED OF 2.05 ACRES AND. THE SITE IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPED WITH A COMMERCIAL BUILDING APPROXIMATELY 16,800FT■S, WHICH IS CONSTRUCTED IN THE YEAR OF 2020. HERE IS THE ZONING MAP SHOWING THE SUBJECTED PROPERTY ZONED PD FOR MIXED USES. IT IS SO THE MAJOR ACCESS FOR THIS SITE IS ALONG THE PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH, GEORGE BUSH HIGHWAY FRONTAGE AND THERE IS A SECONDARY ACCESS ALONG FROM MANSIONS DRIVE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.THE SURROUNDING AREA IS PRIMARILY DEVELOPED WITH MIXED USE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENTS, INCLUDING. ON THE NORTH, THERE IS A UNDER CONSTRUCTION GARLAND FIRE STATION AND STORAGE FACILITY, AND THERE IS ALSO A RELIGIOUS SCHOOL AND A URGENT CARE CENTER, WHICH ARE ALL ZONED PD FOR MIXED USES. AND ON THE WEST AND WESTERN AND SOUTHERN SIDES THERE IS THE. THE PROPERTIES ARE DEVELOPED WITH MULTI-FAMILY DWELLING UNITS. EVEN. THEY ARE ZONED FOR MIXED USE, MIXED USE, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS. ON THE EAST THERE IS A VACANT LAND WHICH IS CURRENTLY ZONED AGRICULTURE. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT DOES NOT INTRODUCE ANY CHANGES TO THE SITE, SO IT DOES NOT IMPACT ANY SURROUNDING LAND USES. AND THE FUTURE LAND USE FOR THIS PROPERTY IS DESIGNATED AS A BUSINESS CENTER, WHICH SUPPORTS OFFICE, RETAIL AND SIMILAR COMMERCIAL USES. THIS AMENDMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE BUSINESS CENTER DESIGNATION, AS IT DOESN'T ALTER ANY ANYTHING EXCEPT PARKING REQUIREMENT. AND THESE ARE THE PHOTOS OF THE EXISTING COMMERCIAL BUILDING. AND ASSOCIATED PARKING. SO ON AN OVERVIEW, THIS PD AMENDMENT IS TO MODIFY THE PARKING STANDARDS AGAIN. AND IN THE TABLE HERE YOU CAN SEE AS PER THE COMPARISON BETWEEN THE CURRENT GDC REQUIREMENTS AND THE AND THE STANDARDS. ACCORDING TO THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS. DISTRICT 15 DASH 43. SO AS PER THE PREVIOUS DISTRICT THERE. THERE ARE LIKE 83 PARKINGS PROVIDED.
AND ACCORDING TO THE. IF THEY ARE. IF THEY COME TO COMPLIANCE WITH THE CURRENT GDC REQUIREMENTS. SO THEY WOULD ONLY REQUIRE 67 SPACES. SO. WHICH WOULD LEAVE US WITH AN ADDITIONAL 16 SPACES. SO THIS AMENDMENT IS REQUESTED TO ALIGN THE SITE WITH CURRENT STANDARDS AND PROVIDE FLEXIBILITY FOR FUTURE TENANT OCCUPANCY. AND HERE IS A SITE PLAN WITH THE UPDATED SITE SUMMARY TABLE. AND YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCES IN THE PARKING REQUIREMENT AND ALSO PARKING SPACES PROVIDED. AS PER PREVIOUS GDC. SO STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST SINCE THE AMENDMENT ALIGNS THE DEVELOPMENT WITH CURRENT CITY STANDARDS AND DOES NOT RESULT IN ANY CHANGES TO THE SITE OR IMPACTS TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. IF APPROVED, THE EXISTING ACCESS PARKING WILL REMAIN AS IT IS AND THE APPLICANT WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO PURSUE A VARIANCE OR ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE FOR THE DEVIATION REQUIREMENT AS AS PER SECTION 4.20 K. A TOTAL OF 25 NOTICES HAVE BEEN MAILED, AND WE RECEIVED NONE IN FAVOR AND NONE AGAINST. WITH THIS, I'M OPEN TO QUESTIONS. ANY COMMISSIONER ABLE. SO I'M GOING TO THROW MYSELF OUT HERE AND JUST ASK THIS LIKE A STUPID GUY. THIS IS MAINLY FOR STAFF.
THEY'RE NOT CHANGING ANYTHING. WE'RE LITERALLY JUST ALLOWING THEM TO HAVE 67 VERSUS 83
[00:35:02]
SO THIS IS BASICALLY GOING TO ALLOW THEM TO BE IN CONFORMANCE WITH OUR CURRENT GDC STANDARDS.SO, AND IN READING THIS SPECIFIC CONDITIONS, IN ESSENCE, THIS TAKES THE REQUIREMENTS WHICH RE WRITTEN INTO THE OPD AND LINKS IT TO THE GDC. SO THE GDC COMES IN LATER AND REDUCES SOME MORE. THEY'LL BENEFIT FROM THAT TOO. AND AND WHAT THIS DOES, IF YOU'RE IN REAL ESTATE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE LEASED. SHOPPING CENTERS OR ANYTHING, BUT YOU OFTEN RUN OUT OF PARKING, RIGHT? THIS ALLOWS THEM TO COME IN, MAYBE WITH ANOTHER RESTAURANT WHERE THEY WOULDN'T HAVE PARKING. NOW THEY WILL HAVE IT, RIGHT. SO I MEAN, THIS, THIS IS AN OPEN FORUM. IT LEAVES THEM OPEN IS A WIN WIN FOR US. YEAH. OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WAS READING IT RIGHT BECAUSE IT SEEMS SIMPLE TO ME. I DID NOT WANT TO MAKE IT TOO SIMPLE. SO YEAH, I JUST CHECKED THE CONDITIONS AND TO MAKE SURE WE WEREN'T TYING THEM TO THE NUMBERS PRESENTED, BUT IT'S TIED TO THE GDC. OKAY. YEAH, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD THAT. THANK YOU. I'M NOT CERTAIN I DO, BUT I WELL, I HAVE NO OTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AGAIN, NO SPEAKER CARDS. IS THE APPLICANT HERE AND CARE TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION ON THIS CASE? OR DID I ALREADY SUMMARIZE IT FOR YOU? I'M FROM ONE 800 NORTHFIELD STREET, DALLAS, AND WE WANTED TO SUBMIT THIS SUV TO CHANGE THE OLD STANDARDS TO THE CURRENT GDC PARKING RATIOS, AND IT WOULD JUST ALLOW US TO HAVE MORE RESTAURANTS AND POSSIBLY ALL RESTAURANTS, AND IT WOULD CONFORM TO THE PARKING STANDARDS. THE BUILDING'S CURRENTLY 50% OCCUPIED. SO USING THE PARKING RATIOS MIGHT HELP US FILL IT UP SOONER. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? I JUST HAVE TO ASK THIS ONE. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE THOSE 16 SPACES AND TRY TO TAKE THEM IN AND PUT A KIOSK OR SOME OTHER USE OUT THERE. NO.
OKAY. I HAVE TO ASK THAT. I THINK THAT'S IT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE CARE TO ADDRESS THIS CASE? SEEING NONE. COMMISSIONERS, I ALREADY HAVE A MOTION. WAS THIS A PREVIOUS ONE? NOPE. SINCE I FELL ON THE SWORD. I'LL MAKE THE MOTION. OKAY. AND YOUR MIC IS STILL ALIVE. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE AS PRESENTED. AND DOES THE SECOND COMMISSIONER PARIS, AGREE? ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION. AND BY COMMISSIONER ABEL AND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER PARIS, SEEING NO DISCUSSION, PLEASE VOTE. NO. THAT IS NOT PREDICTIVE ON OUR SCREEN. THERE. ONE SECOND. NO. IS IT FROZEN? YES. OKAY, LET'S DO THIS BY A SHOW OF HANDS. ALL IN FAVOR OF THE APPROVAL? IT IS UNANIMOUS. IT WAS. IT WAS UNANIMOUS. TRUST ME. THANK YOU.

SO THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING, AS THE CHAIR SAID, IS TO Y'ALL DON'T HAVE TO STAY IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SINCE CASES ARE OVER, BUT YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAY. THANK YOU. GO AHEAD. THE REQUEST IS TO CONSIDER AMENDMENTS TO SEVERAL CHECKS AND SECTIONS WITHIN CHAPTER ONE.
GENERAL PROVISIONS, CHAPTER THREE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS AND CHAPTER FIVE RELIEF PROCEDURES AND ENFORCEMENT GENERALLY RELATED TO ALI WAIVERS, SIDEWALK WAIVERS, AND WORKING PLANS. SO A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON THIS ITEM. FIRST, THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO A RECENT A RECENT LEGISLATIVE UPDATE EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2023, WHICH ENABLES THE CITY COUNCIL OR PLANNING COMMISSION TO DELEGATE THE ABILITY TO APPROVE, APPROVE WITH CONDITIONS OR DISAPPROVE A PLAT TO MUNICIPAL OFFICERS OR EMPLOYEES. SO BASICALLY MAKING REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF PLATS ADMINISTRATIVE SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO COME BEFORE Y'ALL. ON MARCH 4TH OF LAST YEAR, CITY COUNCIL ADOPTED A GDC AMENDMENT THAT ALLOWS ALL PLATS TO BE ADMINISTRATIVELY APPROVED WITH AN OPTION TO APPEAL STAFF DECISIONS ON A PLAT TO THE
[00:40:03]
PLANNING COMMISSION. SO THAT WOULD STILL COME BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THAT APPEAL. AND THEN, OF COURSE, ANY REQUESTED VARIANCES TO SUBDIVISION REQUIREMENTS WOULD STILL GO TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, ALTHOUGH MUCH OF THE GDC SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS WERE UPDATED WITH THIS NEW ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS LAST YEAR, WE'RE PROPOSING A FEW ADDITIONAL CLEANUP ITEMS WITH THIS ITEM BEFORE YOU TONIGHT. THIS ORDINANCE AMENDMENT PRIMARILY RELATED TO SIDEWALK WAIVERS, ALI WAIVERS AND WORKING PLATS, WHICH OF COURSE WE USUALLY SEE IN RELATION TO PLAT APPLICATIONS. SO THE FIRST OF THOSE RELATED TO ALI WAIVERS.CURRENTLY THE GDC HAS TWO DIFFERENT PROCESSES FOR RELIEF PROCEDURES FOR WAIVERS. THE FIRST IS IN A SUBDIVISION WITH FOUR OR FEWER LOTS. THAT WOULD GO FIRST TO THE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERINING, AND TN IF AN APPLICANT WANTED TO APPEAL THE ENGINEERING DIRECTOR'S DECISION, THEY WOULD GO TO THE PLAN COMMISSION. THE OTHER EXISTING RELIEF PROCEDURE IS TECHNICALLY CONSIDERED A DEVELOPMENT VARIANCE. CURRENTLY, THAT'S FOR A SUBDIVISION WITH FIVE OR MORE LOTS THAT WOULD GO TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION FIRST, AND THEN THE APPEAL WOULD GO TO THE CITY COUNCIL. SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING WITH THIS ORDINANCE AMENDMENT IS TO JUST HAVE ONE ALI WAIVER PROCESS. SO IT'S ADMINISTRATIVE. FIRST REVIEWED BY THE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING AND THEN PLANNING COMMISSION WOULD BE THE APPELLATE DECISION MAKER. SO THAT'S REALLY ALL WE'RE PROPOSING ON ALI WAIVERS ON SIDEWALK WAIVERS. THERE'S A FEW DIFFERENT CHANGES WE'RE PROPOSING. CURRENTLY THERE IS A DEVELOPMENT VARIANCE PROCESS FOR SIDEWALKS THAT GOES FIRST TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THEN CITY COUNCIL. WE'RE PROPOSING TO MAKE THAT A WAIVER PROCESS. SO AGAIN, ADMINISTRATIVE GOES TO THE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING FIRST.
AND THEN PLANNING COMMISSION WOULD BE THE APPELLATE. A FEW MORE THINGS WITH THE SIDEWALK WAIVER PROCESS. SO WE'RE PROPOSING AN ADDITION THAT A SIDEWALK MAY NOT BE REQUIRED IF AN APPLICANT MEETS THESE CONDITIONS. SO IT'S INFILL OR REDEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS IN SINGLE FAMILY, SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED OR TWO FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS HAVE TO BE WITHIN AN EXISTING SUBDIVISION, AND THAT SUBDIVISION HAS TO NOT ALREADY HAVE SIDEWALKS. SO IF AN APPLICANT MEETS ALL OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS, THEY COULD POTENTIALLY RECEIVE A WAIVER TO THE REQUIREMENT TO PROVIDE A SIDEWALK AT THE FRONTAGE OF THEIR LOT. AND THEN THIS EXEMPTION WOULD BE EVALUATED AND DETERMINED BY THE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING OR THEIR DESIGNEE. SO ENGINEERING STAFF ALSO, WE'RE PROPOSING A REVISION THAT IF AN APPLICANT MEETS ANY OF THE QUALIFYING CONDITIONS FOR A SIDEWALK WAIVER THAT ARE IN CODE, CURRENTLY, THE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING CAN CONDUCT WHAT WE'RE CALLING A SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT FORECAST EVALUATION. THIS WOULD DETERMINE IF THE SIDEWALK IS PROJECTED TO BE DESIGNED AS PART OF A CITY PROJECT WITHIN FIVE YEARS, SO ENGINEERING STAFF CONDUCTS THAT EVALUATION AND WE DETERMINE THAT, YES, THERE ARE PLANS ON THE PART OF THE CITY TO BUILD A SIDEWALK IN THIS AREA. IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, THE APPLICANT PAYS A SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT FEE INTO A FUND TO EVENTUALLY FUND THAT SIDEWALK WITHIN FIVE YEARS.
AND THEN A SIDEWALK WAIVER CAN BE ISSUED TO THE APPLICANT. HOWEVER, IF WE DO THIS EVALUATION, WE DETERMINE THAT A SIDEWALK IS NOT GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTED WITHIN FIVE YEARS.
THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PAY A FEE AND THEY CAN JUST RECEIVE THEIR SIDEWALK WAIVER. SO BASICALLY THAT SAYS TO THE APPLICANT, IF WE AS THE CITY ARE PLANNING TO FUND SIDEWALKS IN THIS AREA IN THE NEAR FUTURE, WE'RE GOING TO GET YOU INVOLVED IN THAT PROCESS. YOU'LL PAY A FEE. HOWEVER, IF WE DON'T HAVE ANY PLANS TO CONSTRUCT A SIDEWALK IN THIS AREA, WE'RE NOT GOING TO REQUIRE YOU TO PAY A FEE INTO A FUND BECAUSE WE'RE NEVER GOING TO USE THAT MONEY TO BUILD A SIDEWALK. AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST, REGARDING WORKING PLANS. SO WE'RE PROPOSING A REVISION TO THE EXISTING REGULATIONS FOR A WORKING PLAT. SO THEY DON'T READ AS A HARD REQUIREMENT FOR SUBMITTING A COMPLETE APPLICATION. IF THEY DO, THAT COULD POTENTIALLY TRIGGER THAT 30 DAY SHOT CLOCK REQUIREMENT THAT THE STATE PUTS ON US.
RATHER, WE'RE REVISING THESE REGULATIONS TO STATE THAT IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT AN APPLICANT PROVIDE A WORKING PLAT FOR TECHNICAL COMPLIANCE REVIEW BEFORE FILING A FORMAL PLAT APPLICATION, AND THEN ALSO SOME LANGUAGE THAT IF THE APPLICANT ELECTS NOT TO PROVIDE A WORKING PLAT, THEY ASSUME THE RISK THAT THE PLAT APPLICATION MAY NOT MEET TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS MAY BE SUBJECT TO DENIAL. SO, YOU KNOW, THEY KIND OF RUN THAT RISK. AND AGAIN THIS IS JUST DUE TO THAT 30 DAY SHOT CLOCK REQUIREMENT LIMITING LIMITING THE ALLOWED TIME FOR REVIEWS AND REVISIONS ON PLATS. SO WITH THAT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS APPROVAL OF THIS GDC AMENDMENT. AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. COMMISSIONER JENKINS THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. GOOD EVENING SIR. THERE'S A LOT HERERE. THERE IS., I CAN SEE REALLY A GOOD ARGUMENT FOR AND AGAINST IT. YOU'VE YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT RISK ASSESSMENT, FOR EXAMPLE, AND
[00:45:03]
HOW WE'RE SHIFTING EFFECTIVELY THE RISK FROM KIND OF A NEUTRAL TO MOSTLY ALL ALL ON TOP OF THE THE APPLICANT FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH OUR HIGHLY RECOMMENDED REQUESTS. BECAUSE OF COURSE, WE DON'T WANT TO RUN AFOUL OF THE 30 DAY SHOT CLOCK. YOU TALKED ABOUT THE THE SIDEWALK AND IMPACTS FUTURE THING. MY QUESTION RIGHT NOW IS GOING TO BE FOR THAT. WELL, FIRST OFF, THE SHELL IS DISCRETIONARY AND MUST IS NOT. WHAT HAPPENS IF DOE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING DOESN'T RUN FORMALLY RUN THE ANALYSIS AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, WE NEED SOMETHING THERE. OR ALTERNATIVELY, THEY PAY A FEE AND WE DETERMINE THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO BUILD A SIDEWALK, BUT THEY'VE ALREADY PAID THE FEE. SO IF THE APPLICANT FILES AN APPLICATION FOR A SIDEWALK WAIVER, THE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING IS REQUIRED TO CONDUCT THAT SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT FORECAST EVALUATION. SO THAT'S A HARD REQUIREMENT WITH THE CODE REVISION WHERE WE'RE PROPOSING. AND IN PERFORMING THAT EVALUATION, IF THAT EVALUATION DETERMINES THAT A SIDEWALK IS GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTED BY THE CITY WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, THAT'S WHEN THE APPLICANT PAYS THAT FEE TO FUND CONSTRUCTION OF THAT SIDEWALK, AND THEN THEY CAN RECEIVE THEIR SIDEWALK WAIVER. SO BASICALLY, IN THE PRESENT TIME, THEY PAY THE FEE THAT GOES INTO A FUND. THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE ON THE HOOK FOR CONSTRUCTING THAT SIDEWALK AT THE FRONT EDGE OF THEIR PROPERTY. AND THEN SOMETIME WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, THAT'S WHEN THE CITY WILL USE THOSE FUNDS TO CONSTRUCT THE SIDEWALK ON THEIR PROPERTY FOR THEM AND PROBABLY SURROUNDING PROPERTIES, RIGHT? BECAUSE WE WANT TO ADD MORE SIDEWALKS TO THE CITY, RIGHT? REIMBURSED IN THE EVENT THAT SIDEWALKOESN'T GET BUILT. CORRECT. SO I CAN ACTUALLY MAKE THIS A LITTLE EASIER ON Y'ALL BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S A LOT. AND THERE ARE PROVISIONS IN THERE THAT IF IT ISN'T DONE WITHIN FIVE YEARS, THAT THEY GET THE MONEY BACK. NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE NOTIFIED WHEN THEY MAKE THE APPLICATION OR IF THEY JUST KIND OF HAVE TO FIND THAT PROVISION. AND I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING, EVEN AFTER TEN YEARS, IT'S MANDATORY, CORRECT? YEAH. AND THAT IS EXISTING LANGUAGE.SO I DON'T WANT TO COVER IT TOO MUCH. IN MY VERY LENGTHY PRESENTATION. BUT IF YOU GUYS HAVE THE AGENDA, THE DOCKET BEFORE YOU, THESE ARE THE ATTACHMENTS TO THIS ITEM IN THE AGENDA FOR THIS EVENING. I ATTACHMENT THREE COVERS THE SIDEWALK WAIVER AND I CAN PULL UP THAT CODE LANGUAGE IF YOU'D LIKE. JUST TAKE A LOOK AT IT. BUT YES, THERE ARE PROVISIONS FOR IF THE CITY DOESN'T CONSTRUCT A SIDEWALK WITHIN THAT FIVE YEAR PERIOD, THE APPLICANT IS ENTITLED TO A REFUND OF THE MONEY THAT THEY PAID INTO IT, PLUS INTEREST.
AND THERE'S EVEN LANGUAGE IN CODE FOR HOW THAT INTEREST IS CALCULATED. IT FOLLOWS TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, ALL THAT LOVELY, COMPLICATED STUFF. GREAT. THANK YOU FOR THAT. ONE MORE QUESTION FOR YOU. SURE. I. YOU TALKED ABOUT THE THE APPEAL. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT AN ANGRY AN ANGRY NEIGHBOR THAT'S NOT NOTIFIED UNTIL AFTER IT'S TOO LATE. I DON'T KNOW, AT OUR LAST DISCUSSION OF THIS IDEA AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE IDEA, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES WERE THAT WERE DECIDED UPON RELATING TO. THESE WILL BE ADMINISTRATIVELY REVIEWED APPLICATIONS AS OPPOSED TO THESE APPLICATIONS HAVE ALREADY BEEN ADMINISTERED ADMINISTRATIVELY. REVIEW. DOES THAT QUESTION MAKE SENSE? ONCE THE CITY MAKES ITS DECISION WITH NO APPEAL, IT'S FINAL AND THE THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE FOR THE PUBLIC WOULD BE TO FILE A LAWSUIT SEEKING AN INJUNCTION, WHICH WE DON'T WANT, I'M SURE MY, MY, MY LOVELY COUNCIL OVER THERE WOULD BE VERY SAD TO SEE A NUMBER OF THOSE. SO WHAT WHAT PROCESS DO WE HAVE IN PLACE THAT ALLOWS THE PUBLIC TO WEIGH IN PRIOR TO THE APPROVAL OF ANY WAIVER? SO I CAN SPEAK GENERALLY. AND EMMA, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO SPEAK MORE TO, YOU KNOW, THE DAY TO DAY, BUT GENERALLY ANY ITEM THAT'S ADMINISTRATIVELY REVIEWED AND APPROVED. SO IT'S JUST REVIEWED BY STAFF. AND T THEN STAF IS THE APPROVAL AUTHORITY. THERE IS NO PUBLIC NOTICE THAT WE'LL BE DOING. WE GENERALLY WOULDN'T SEND OUT PUBLIC NOTICES EITHER NEWSPAPER OR LETTER UNLESS AN ITEM IS GOING BEFORE A PUBLIC BODY, LIKE PLANNING COMMISSION OR CITY COUNCIL. SO IF SOMEONE FILED AN APPLICATION FOR ONE OF THESE ITEMS AND ALI WAIVER OR SIDEWALK WAIVER, AND THE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING DENIED IT, THEY COULD THEN APPEAL THAT DECISION TO THIS BODY, THE PLANNING COMMISSION, AND WE WOULD SEND OUT NOTICE AT THAT POINT FOR THE APPEAL, BUT NOT FOR THE INITIAL ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL. SO IT'S REALLY ONLY IF SOMEONE IS APPEALING A DECISION THAT GENERALLY NOTICE WOULD BE SENT OUT. RESIDENTS.
YEAH. GO AHEAD. OUR RESIDENTIAL REPLAT, WE WOULD SEND OUT NOTICES. RIGHT, RIGHT. WE'D
[00:50:03]
STILL HANDLE THAT ADMINISTRATIVELY. THAT'S THE ONLY INSTANCE WE'D SEND OUT NOTIFICATION FOR A PLAT. HOW LONG, HOW MUCH ADVANCE NOTICE SENT OUT FOR THE RESIDENTIAL REQUEST. IT'S PER THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE. I'D HAVE TO PULL IT UP, BUT IT'S ABOUT SAME AS ZONING, I BELIEVE. BUT I'D HAVE TO PULL IT UP FOR THE NOTICING. THANK YOU. YEAH.THOSE ARE ALL STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS THAT WE WOULD NEVER VIOLATE. IF WE DID, WE'D BE CANCELING THE MEETING. YEAH. YOUR MIND WENT THERE. WORST CASE SCENARIO. ALWAYS. GOTCHA.
IT'S GOOD TO BE A PLANNER. MY ONLY MY ONLY THOUGHT IS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS IS NOT I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND ALIGNING A PROCESS, A FRAMEWORK THAT'S ALREADY BEEN PUT IN PLACE AND MAKING IT A LITTLE BIT MORE CLEAR. BUT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE IMPACT TO THE PUBLIC FORUM THAT BEING THE HEARING PROCESS. SO THAT'S IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND WE JUST AS A RESPONSE TO THAT, WE HAVE THE STATE TO THANK FOR THAT. ANYWAY, THEY'VE ALREADY KIND OF TAKEN THIS OFF OF THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION. YOU KNOW, THEY'VE GIVEN MUNICIPALITIES THE ABILITY TO MAKE THIS ADMINISTRATIVE AND, YOU KNOW, KIND OF OPEN THAT DOOR. BUT I DEFINITELY HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. ALRIGHTY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I DID HAVE A COUPLE THOUGHTS. AND THIS IS JUST IDEAS TO TOSS AT YOU WITH WORKING PLATT AND YOU SAID FORMAL PLATT'S MAYBE WORTH IF THERE'S A DEFINITION SECTION ADDING IN THEIR FORMAL PLATT'S OR DEFINING EACH KIND OF PLATT, WHETHER IT'S FORMAL AND INFORMAL REQUIRED, YOU KNOW.
YEAH. MAYBE PROTECT IT FROM THE STATE. SURE. YEAH. WHEN I SAY I'M KIND OF JUST USING THAT AS A GENERAL TERM, BUT ANY KIND OF PLATT APPLICATION, LIKE A FINAL PLAT OR PRELIMINARY PLAT, LIKE EMMA SAID, SOME RESIDENTIAL PLATS SEE AN APPLICATION FOR THAT. BUT YEAH, FOR SURE, WE MAY WANT TO HAVE A DEFINITION SECTION ON WHAT EACH ONE OF THOSE ARE. AND IF WE CAN KEEP OURSELVES OUT OF THE SHOT CLOCK ON AS MANY OF THEM AS POSSIBLE. ABSOLUTELY. YES, SIR. OKAY. AND THE DEAL ABOUT THE SIDEWALK WAIVER, THEY WLD BE EVALUATING FOR CITY PUTTING SIDEWALKS IN. WHAT HAPPENS IF. NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR 2 OR 3 LOTS FOR LOTS WHATEVER DEVELOP AND THEY DECIDE TO PUT THEIR OWN SIDEWALKS IN. WOULD THAT TRIGGER THE CITY PUTTING IN THE SIDEWALK THAT THEY PUT IN THE FEE FOR? IS THAT OUTSIDE THE SCOPE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY FALL WITHIN THE SIDEWALK EVALUATION PROCESS, BUT THE SCALE AT WHICH ENGINEERING WILL BE EVALUATING WHETHER OR NOT A SIDEWALK CAN BE WAIVED IS THAT THE SCALE OF THE WHOLE SUBDIVISION. SO IT WOULDN'T JUST BE THE ONE LOT IN QUESTION OR THE TWO CONTIGUOUS LOTS ON EITHER SIDE. IT WOULD BE THE ENTIRE SUBDIVISION. SO I WAS THINKING PROBABLY A SCENARIO THAT WOULDN'T GO B VERY OFTEN, BUT IN OLDER PLACES. OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT. COMMISSIONER DUCKWORTH. THANK YOU. ON THE DEFINITION OF WORKING, PLATT, HOW MANY DIFFERENT TERMS ARE USED IN A DEVELOPMENT? DOES IT GO FROM A WORKING PLATT TO A FINAL PLATT AND WHAT ARE ALL THE PIECES OF THAT? OH, GOSH, THAT'S LIKE THE WHOLE DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE. BUT YEAH, I MEAN, THE SUBDIVISION, EXCUSE ME, AS A AS A CITIZEN, IF I WANT TO LOOK AT SOMETHING AND I DRIVE BY AND I SAY, WHERE ARE THEY AT? HOW DO I, WHAT PLANT WOULD I LOOK FOR OR ASK FOR TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING THERE? I MEAN, IT REALLY IS SPECIFIC TO EACH INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT BASED ON THE LEGAL STATUS OF THAT PROPERTY. IF A PIECE OF DIRT. RIGHT, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. IT'S JUST A PIECE OF LAND. IF A PIECE OF DIRT HAS NEVER BEEN PLANTED BEFORE WHATSOEVER, IT WOULD JUST BE A TRACT OF LAND.
YOU KNOW, THE INITIAL PLAT YOU'RE SUBMITTING PER STATE LAW WOULD BE A FINAL PLAT. SO THAT'S THE FIRST TIME REALLY A PROPERTY HAS BEEN PLATTED. IF IT'S JUST ONE INDIVIDUAL LOT, IF YOU HAVE A MUCH LARGER PIECE OF DIRT AND YOU'RE LOOKING TO. YEAH, LET'S, LET'S USE A 200 ACRE DEVELOPMENT. YEAH, YEAH. SO THAT WOULD BE AN ENTIRE SUBDIVISION. THEN IT'S NOT JUST ONE LOT. YEAH. YOU'RE LOOKING TO HAVE SEVERAL HUNDRED INDIVIDUAL LOTS WITHIN THAT RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION. YOU'RE LOOKING AT A PRELIMINARY PLAT WHICH OUTLINES EITHER THE ENTIRE SUBDIVISION OR MULTIPLE PHASES WITHIN THAT SUBDIVISION. THAT'S KIND OF THE FIRST STEP.
AND THEN AS THOSE INDIVIDUAL PHASES COME IN, THAT'S WHEN YOU HAVE FINAL PLATS FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL PHASE. AND THOSE FINAL PLATS ARE REALLY THE THE RECORD, YOU KNOW, THAT'S CREATED FOR THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY. THAT'S WHAT GETS FILED WITH THE COUNTY,
[00:55:01]
TYPICALLY ESTABLISHING A RECORD FOR THOSE LOTS. BUT EACH INDIVIDUAL STEP ALONG THAT WAY.HERE AT THE CITY OF GARLAND, WE HAVE A NOT A HARD REQUIREMENT, BUT A STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU ALSO SUBMIT A WORKING PLAT TO THE CITY SO STAFF CAN DO A TECHNICAL COMPLIANCE REVIEW BEFORE YOU FORMALLY FILE THAT PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICATION, THAT FINAL PLAT APPLICATION, ETC. BECAUSE AGAIN, THE WORKING PLAT, BECAUSE IT'S JUST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, IT'S NOT A HARD REQUIREMENT. IT'S NOT GOING TO TRIGGER THAT 30 DAY SHOT CLOCK, THE PRELIMINARY PLAT, THE FINAL PLAT, THOSE MORE FORMAL PLAT APPLICATIONS THAT CERTAINLY WOULD. THANK YOU. YEAH. THANK YOU. I SEE THE WORKING PLAT KIND OF AS A CONCEPT PLAN FOR DOING A PLAT. YOU KNOW THAT'S YEAH. TO USE THE PD ANALOGY, IF YOU HAVE A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AND YOU WANT TO SPLIT THAT INTO MULTIPLE PHASES, THE FIRST PLAN YOU SUBMIT IS A CONCEPT PLAN THAT OUTLINES THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT. AND THEN YOU CAN HAVE INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR EACH PHASE WITHIN THAT DEVELOPMENT. IT'S THE SAME SORT OF PARALLEL WITH PLATS. AND THOSE ARE THE TERM WE'VE HEARD USED BEFORE IS A PRETTY PICTURE LOOKING DOWN FROM FROM WHAT'S GOING TO BE THERE. PRETTY MUCH. YEAH. TELL YOU WHAT. AND AS YOU GET INTO INDIVIDUAL PHASES, YOU GET MORE GRANULAR, MORE DETAILED. YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. AND TO RESPOND, IT'S 15 DAYS NOTICE. OKAY. I THINK THAT'S IT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.
ALRIGHTY. COMMISSIONERS. THIS IS AN ITEM TO EITHER FORWARD ON TO COUNCIL WITH OUR APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL. UP TO YOU ALL. COMMISSIONER JENKINS. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION FOR ORDINANCE CHANGES PRESENTED. AND I SEE COMMISSIONER DALTON TRIED TO CHIME IN FOR A SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER JENKINS, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER DALTON, TO APPROVE ITEM C, THE GDC AMENDMENT FOR STAFF PRESENTATION. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS ON THE VOTING. AND THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
THAT WAS THE LAST ITEM ON OUR AGENDA. IT IS NOW 727. SO UNTIL OUR NEXT MEETING OF APRIL 27TH, WE ARE
