[a. Z 25-30 JPMorgan Chase (District 5)]
ITEM ITEM TWO A HOLD PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER THE APPLICATION OF JP MORGAN CHASE REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A CHANGE IN ZONING FROM A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PD COMMUNITY RETAIL DISTRICT TO MODIFY PARKING STANDARDS AND REMOVE THE CONCEPT PLAN.THE SITE IS LOCATED AT 1000 WEST ROAD DISTRICT FIVE FILE Z 25 DASH 30 PRESENTATION BY STAFF.
STUART STARRY FOR CITY DEPARTMENT.
THE APPLICANT REQUESTS A CHANGE IN ZONING FROM PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 74 DASH 35 WITH A COMMUNITY RETAIL BASED ZONING TO A NEW PD WITH AN EQUIVALENT CR BASED ZONING IN ORDER TO MODIFY PARKING STANDARDS AND APPROVE A NEW CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE EXISTING CHASE BANK.
THIS CASE WAS PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED FOR THE AUGUST 10TH PLAN COMMISSION MEETING WHERE THE COMMISSION TABLED THE REQUEST TO TODAY'S MEETING AT THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST TO ALLOW ADDITIONAL TIME TO REVISIT THE PROPOSED SITE IMPROVEMENTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES WITH STAFF.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1000 WEST CENTERVILLE ROAD IS APPROXIMATELY 1.837 ACRES AND IS LOCATED WITHIN DISTRICT FIVE.
HERE'S OUR ZONING MAP SHOWING THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN WEST CENTERVILLE AND BROADMOOR.
THE AREA IS PREDOMINANTLY ZONED PD WITH A CR BASED ZONING WITH SF SEVEN.
FURTHER EAST TO THE NORTH ACROSS CENTERVILLE ROAD IS A PD WITH RETAIL PERSONAL SERVICE AND RESTAURANT.
RESTAURANT USES TO THE EAST ACROSS BROADMOOR.
UH, DRIVE IS A PD WITH A CR BASED SONY WITH A VACANT ANCHOR BUILDING TO THE WEST ARE COMMERCIAL PDS WITH RETAIL PERSONAL SERVICE, RESTAURANT AND OFFICE USES.
AND TO THE SOUTH IS ANOTHER PD WITH A CR BASED ZONING WITH A VACANT ANCHOR BUILDING AND A EXISTING MCDONALD'S.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATES THIS AREA AS COMMUNITY CENTERS, WHICH ARE INTENDED FOR COMPACT, PRIMARILY NON-RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, SERVING A COLLECTION OF NEIGHBORHOODS.
THESE AREAS MAY INCLUDE RETAIL SERVICES, OFFICE, MULTI-FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL AND ENTERTAINMENT USES THE EXISTING AND PROPOSED COMMUNITY.
RETAIL BASED ZONING IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DESIGNATION AND WITH THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN.
THIS SITE IS ALSO LOCATED WITHIN AN IDENTIFIED ECONOMIC FOCUS AREA KNOWN AS THE WE HAS OUTLINED IN THE CITY'S STRATEGIC PLAN GARLAND ON THE RIGHT.
THE STRATEGIC PLAN ENCOURAGES LAND USE, REBALANCING AWAY FROM LOW VALUE AUTOMOBILE ORIENTED USES AND TOWARDS HOUSING MIXED USE CENTERS AND WALKABLE DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS.
WHILE THE PROPOSED THAT DIGITAL PARKING DOES NOT DIRECTLY ADVANCE THAT OBJECTIVE, THE APPLICANT HAS INCORPORATED SEVERAL PLACE MAKING IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDING INCREASED LANDSCAPING, BICYCLE PARKING BENCHES, DECORATIVE SITE FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THE EXISTING FALLEN OFFICER MEMORIAL, WHICH SUPPORTS THE CITY'S PLACEMAKING AND REINVESTMENT GOALS.
HERE WE GOT SOME PICTURES OF THE SITE TAKEN FROM CENTERVILLE.
THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPED WITH AN EXISTING CHAIN TO BAY CHASE BANK BUILDING THAT WAS ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED BACK IN 1973.
THE EXISTING BUILDING CONTAINS APPROXIMATELY 16,650 SQUARE FEET, ALONG WITH 86 PARKING SPACES, THREE FORMER TELLER LANES AND FOUR OPERATIONAL DRIVE UP ATM LANES.
THESE PICTURES HERE WERE TAKEN OFF OF, UH, BROADMORE.
AND UM, FURTHERMORE, THE APPLICANT PROPOSES TO DEMOLISH THE EXISTING BUILDING TELLER LANES AND DRIVE UP ATM UNITS AND CONSTRUCT A NEW APPROXIMATELY 4,020 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING THE
[00:10:01]
ONE SORRY FOR THE SAME USE ALONG WITH, UH, THREE DRIVE UP ATM STATIONS.THIS IS THE PROPOSED CONCEPT PLAN WHERE THE PRIMARY MODIFICATION RELATES TO PARKING.
UNDER THE GDC, THE PROPOSED BUILDING WOULD REQUIRE 14 SPACES AT ONE SPACE PER 300 SQUARE FEET OF BUILDING FOR APPROXIMATELY 19 SPACES THROUGH AN ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE REQUEST.
THE APPLICANT INSTEAD PROPOSES 47 SPACES BASED ON A RATIO OF ONE SPACE PER 86 SQUARE FEET TO ACCOMMODATE 12 EMPLOYEES AND CUSTOMER DEMAND.
THE APPLICANT ALSO PROPOSES THREE, DRIVE UP ATM STATIONS WHERE THE GDC WOULD NORMALLY ALLOW ONLY ONE TO MITIGATE PARKING.
THE APPLICANT PROPOSES ENHANCED LANDSCAPING AND PLACE MAKING IMPROVEMENTS, INCLUDING A 40% SITE STATION COMPARED TO A 10% GEC MINIMUM, AS WELL AS 13 PARKING LOT CANOPY TREES COMPARED TO THE FIVE THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED, AS WELL AS STAMPED OR DECORATIVE CONCRETE FOR ALL NON A DA PARKING SPACES.
ADDITIONAL AMENITIES INCLUDE A FORCE, FAITH, BICYCLE RACK, AND THE RELOCATION OF THE EXISTING FALLEN OFFICER MEMORIAL INTO A DECORATIVE MONUMENT AREA WITH TWO BENCHES AND A TRASH RECEPTACLE TO ENHANCE THE STREET SCAPE AND PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE ALONG CENTER ROAD.
OVERALL, THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPING, DECORATIVE PAVING, MEMORIAL IMPROVEMENTS, BICYCLE FACILITIES, AND OTHER SITE ENHANCEMENTS ADEQUATELY MITIGATE THE IMPACTS OF THE REQUESTED PARKING INCREASE AND IMPROVE THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THE REDEVELOPMENT.
STAFF, THEREFORE RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE PD AMENDMENT SUBJECT TO A CONDITION REQUIRING, UH, CONTINUOUS ROW OF SHRUBS ALONG THE PARKING ROW ADJACENT TO THE WESTERN OPEN SPACE AREA.
TO FURTHER ENHANCE THE SITE, THE SITE APPEARANCE AS SHOWN IN PINK, WE WENT AHEAD AND SENT OUT 66 NOTIFICATION LETTERS AND WE RECEIVED ONLY ONE RESPONSE WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION CARRIER IN FAVOR OF THE REQUEST.
ANY QUESTIONS MS. UP FOR THIS, UH, FOR STAFF? MR. SIR? COMMISSIONER DR.
THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
UM, I WAS JUST TELLING MY ROOMMATE, I MEAN, WE MADE HERE THAT I REMEMBER THE DAY THAT THE GENTLEMAN I WORKED WITH IN THE SEVENTIES LEFT A BANK WE WERE WITH AND BUILT THIS BUILDING AND STARTED AN INDEPENDENT BANK THERE BACK IN, IN THE OLD DAYS AS WE WOULD CALL 'EM NOW, UH, THEY'RE SHRUBS.
YOU TALKED ABOUT PLANNING, THOSE WON'T, UH, IMPAIR THE VISIBILITY OF THE BUILDING? UH, NO, NOT AT ALL.
UH, THOSE WOULD BE INTENDED, UH, TO BE MORE IN THE INTERIOR TO FURTHER THE LANDSCAPING OF THIS GREEN, UH, LARGE GREEN SPACE THAT, UM, IS A RESULT OF THE INCREASE IN MINIMUM, UH, LANDSCAPE AREA THAT HAS PROPOSED.
CAN YOU, CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE THE SIGNAGE FOR THE, FOR THIS PROPERTY IS ADVERTISING? I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY HAVE, UH, ALREADY PROPOSED A OR THE MONUMENT SIGNAGE OR IF THEIR MO HAVE ONE, UH, BUT I'M SURE THEY WILL CERTAINLY HAVE ONE ALONG THE, UH, BUILDING SIDE, BUT I'LL LET THE APPLICANT KINDA SPEAK TO THAT.
AND, AND, AND IS THE APPLICANT, UH, ARE THEY OKAY WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT YOU'RE MAKING? YES.
THEY, THEY, UH, THEY'VE BEEN AWARE OF, OF HER RECOMMENDATION AND, UH, THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO PROBLEMS.
UM, JUST WANNA UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE RATIONALE FOR 47 SPACES GIVEN THE REDUCED SIZE OF THE BUILDING.
AND I UNDERSTAND CERTAINLY THEY NEED MORE THAN FIVE PART CUSTOMERS, BUT DO THEY TYPICALLY SEE 30 OR SO PEOPLE AT A TIME COMING IN? UM, UM, I WOULDN'T SAY IT IS COMMON FOR US TO SEE, UH, SUCH A DEVIATION, UH, BUT AS FAR AS THE SPECIFICS OF THEIR, UH, CUSTOMER DEMAND, I'LL REFER TO
I GUESS I WONDER TOO, IF THEY'RE OFFERING SERVICES THAT THE CURRENT,
[00:15:01]
UM, BANK ISN'T OFFERING AND THAT MAYBE JUSTIFIES THE INCREASE NUMBER? UH, NOT, NOT AS FAR AS, UH, I'M CONCERNED, BUT, UM, CERTAINLY THEY'LL, UH, THEY'LL BE MINUTES FOR THAT.UM, AND I MAY HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION.
UM, DOES, DOES THE APPLICANT INTEND TO, UM, PUT IN SOME SECURITY AND I'M THINKING MORE BEFORE AND AFTER HOURS, WEEKENDS THERE, THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH STREET VENDORS IN OUR LOCATION THAT I'VE HEARD PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT, AND I THINK WONDER IF THAT WAS SECURITY ISSUES WERE DISCUSSED.
UM, WE DID NOT DISCUSS THAT, UH, VERBATIM, BUT, UH, AGAIN, I'LL KIND OF REFER TO THE APPLICANT.
ANYONE ELSE? I JUST HAVE ONE COMMENT.
I WANT TO COMMEND BOTH THE APPLICANT AND STAFF FOR, UM, KEEPING THE MEMORIAL PRESENT.
UM, IT'S NOT LOCATED THE AGENDA ON THE, UH, PACKET THAT I'VE GOT.
CAN YOU POINT IT OUT WHERE IT'S GONNA GO FOR ME ON THE SCREEN? ABSOLUTELY.
SO THIS AREA OVER HERE, UH, IS ALL GONNA BE, UH, PAVED WITH, UH, DECORATIVE PAVEMENT AND IT'S GONNA HAVE TWO BENCHES AS WELL AS A TRASH RECEPTACLE.
AND RIGHT HERE WHERE THE, WHERE THE.IS IS WHERE THE, UH, MEMORIAL WILL BE.
AND, UM, IT'S GONNA BE MADE OF, UH, SIMILAR UH, MATERIAL AS THE BUILDING.
AND SO IT'LL, IT'LL CERTAINLY BE AN IMPROVEMENT.
ACTUALLY ALSO HAVE A PICTURE HERE OF THE EXISTING MEMORIAL.
AND SO THIS EXISTING ONE IS ACTUALLY HERE IN HERE IN THE REAR.
SO IT'LL BE A, A BIT OF A NICER SPACE FOR, UH, PEOPLE TO GO AND MORE AND SIT DOWN.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THAT RECOMMENDATION.
IS THE APPLICANT HERE THIS EVENING? SIR, DO YOU HAVE ANY, SIR? ANY COMMENTS? ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO, TO BRING TO OUR ATTENTION? I'M HERE.
THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS YOU GOT? MAY HAVE.

HAVE Y'ALL DECIDED YOU WERE GONNA PUT THIS SIGNAGE YET? YES, WE HAVE A, A I AN IDEA AND COULD BE SIGNAGE GO BY A SEPARATE CONSULTANT FOR CHASE.
AND DO YOU MIND I USE YOUR COMPUTER PLEASE? SO THE, WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT IS GOING TO PUT THE, UH, SIGN FOR CHASE WILL BE LOCATED IN THIS AREA, BIG LANDSCAPE AREA STAFF.
WILL THAT COME BACK TO US? IS THAT A PART OF THE SITE? NO.
IF THE SIGN NEEDS ALL OUR REGULATIONS, UH, IT DOES NOT COME TO PLAN COMMISSION, THEN THEY GET ASSIGNED PERMIT.
IF THEY NEED SOME KIND OF VARIANCE, THAT'S WHEN, UM, IT MAY HAVE TO, BUT YEAH, IF THEY'RE MEETING EVERYTHING THERE, THERE'S NO REASON.
QUESTION WAS TO KIND OF CLEAR FOR YOU AND US WHETHER WE MIGHT BE SEEING THIS AGAIN.

[b. Z 26-21 Watermill Express (District 5)]
THIS EVENING IS ITEM TWO B, FILE Z 26 21 WATER MILL EXPRESS IN DISTRICT FIVE, FULL PUBLIC HEARING APPLICATION OF ALL EXPRESS, REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A SPECIFIC USE PROVISION OR P OR KIOSK SELF SERVICE.WE TELL RETAIL USE AND CONCEPT PLAN SITE 1130 WEST OF ROAD.
UH, THIS IS CITY AS MENTIONED.
THE REQUEST IS, UH, FOR, UH, FOR SUP FOR WATER KIOSK, UH, ON A PROPERTY ZONE.
UH, PLAN DEVELOPMENT 26 SLASH 16 FOR COMMERCIAL USERS.
PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 1 1 3 0 WEST CENTERVILLE ROAD AND THE APPLICANT IS WATERMILL EXPRESS.
UH, CURRENTLY THE PROPERTY HAS A PARKING AREA, UH, UH, ALONG WITH THE, UH, COMMERCIAL, UH, COMMERCIAL CENTER, A SHOPPING CENTER, UH, ON THIS ADDRESS.
UH, OVER HERE IS THE LOCATION MAP OF THE PROPERTY, WHICH SHOWS THE EXISTING COMMISS UH, COM UH, COMMERCIAL SHOPPING CENTER WITH THE ASSOCIATED PARKING TO THAT, UH, USE.
UH, THE, THE APPLICANT PROPOSES TO REMOVE THE EXISTING KIOSK, WHICH IS ON THE OTHER LOT OF THE CURRENT, UH, WATER KIOSK IS EXACTLY OVER HERE, UH, ON THE OTHER LOT.
THE APPLICANT IS, UH, PROPOSING TO REMOVE THAT, UH, DEMOLISH THAT AND PRO PROPOSE A NEW WATER KIOSK WITH THEIR UPDATED MODEL ON THE OTHER, ON THE SUBJECTIVE LOT, WHICH IS ON 26 SLASH 16.
UH, PLAN DEVELOPMENT, UH, THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, UH, FOR THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR THIS PROPERTY IS, UH, CATEGORIZED AS COMMUNITY CENTERS, WHICH ARE INTENDED AS COMPACT PRIMARY NON RESIDENTIAL AREAS SERVING MULTIPLE NEIGHBORHOODS AND MAY INCLUDE RETAIL, SERVICE OFFICE AND ENTERTAINMENT USERS.
THE PROPOSED KIOSK IS A SMALL SCALE RETAIL SERVICE LOCATED WITHIN AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL SHOPPING CENTER.
SO THE USE ITSELF IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE COMMERCIAL CHARACTER.
UM, THE PROPERTY IS ALSO LOCATED WITHIN, UH, THE CITY'S NEW ADOPTED STRATEGIC, UH, PLAN.
AND IT'S ONE OF THE, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S IN ONE OF THE ECONOMIC FOCUS AREAS, WHICH IS THE, WHICH, WHICH WE CALL THE WEDGE.
AND IT IS ALSO PART OF, UH, ONE OF THE AREA PLANS THAT THE CITY HAD.
UH, THE AREA PLAN IS CENTER WILL MARKETPLACE REVITALIZATION STRATEGY.
BOTH OF THESE STRATEGIC, UH, THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND THE AREA PLAN IDENTIFIES THIS AREA AS PRIORITY FOR REINVESTMENT AND ULTIMATELY ENCOURAGES HIGHER VALUE DEVELOPMENT.
EVEN THOUGH THE REQUEST DOES NOT CONSTRUE SUBSTANTIAL REDEVELOPMENT OR ADVANCE OR DIRECTLY ADVANCE THOSE LARGE, LARGER REDEVELOPMENT OF OBJECTIVES.
UH, IT'S, IT INVOLVES ONLY A ONE OR SIX SQUARE FOOT KIOSK WITHIN AN EXISTING SHOPPING CENTER.
IT'S LIMITED FOOTPRINT AND THE USE OF EXISTING SHARED ACCESS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO SIGNIFICANTLY INTERFERE WITH FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
SO, SO THESE ARE SOME SIDE PICTURES.
UH, ON THE TOP YOU CAN, UH, UH, WE CAN SEE, UH, THE EXISTING WATER KIOSK, UH, AND THE PICTURES, UH, BELOW ARE THE LOCATION FOR THE PROPOSED, UH, WATER, UH, THE
[00:25:01]
LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED WATER KIOSK.AND HERE IS THE CONCEPT PLAN, UH, WHICH SHOWS BOTH THE LOTS.
HERE IS THE, THIS IS THE EXISTING WATER KIOSK AND THIS IS WHERE THEY'RE TRYING TO OCCUPY FOUR PARKING SPACES, UH, FOR THE NEW WATER KIOSK.
UM, SO COMING TO THE PARKING NUMBERS, UH, ASSOCIATED TO THIS, UH, PROJECT, UH, THE ORAL SITE CURRENTLY PROVIDES 3 82 PARKING SPACES, WHEREAS THE REQUIREMENT IS 1 99.
SO REMOVAL OF THESE ADDITIONAL FOUR PARKING SPACES DOES NOT CREATE ANY SORT OF DEFICIENCY.
STAFF, UH, RECOMMENDS, UM, LANDSCAPING ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROPOSED KIS SPECIFICALLY, UH, RECOMMENDS A PLANTER ON EACH SIDE OF THE BENCH.
SO THEY ARE PROPOSING A BENCH, UH, HERE.
SO AFTER GOING THROUGH MULTIPLE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE APPLICANT, SO THE STAFF FINALLY HAVE RECOMMENDED AT LEAST TO PROVIDE PLANTER ON EACH SIDE OF THE BENCH.
BUT THE APPLICANT HAS EXPRESSED SOME SORT OF CONCERNS REGARDING LANDSCAPING IMMEDIATELY.
ADDITION TO THE CUSTOMER AREA, UH, WHICH WE CAN HEAR, UH, FROM THE APPLICANT.
AND THIS, UH, ELEVATIONS ALSO SHOWS THE SIX ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS, UH, WHICH WE REQUIRE, UH, FOR ANY NEW CONSTRUCTIONS THAT TO TO BE INCORPORATED INTO THEIR BUILDING DESIGN.
SO THEY DO HAVE SIX ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS.
UH, THE APPLICANT REQUESTS A 30 YEAR, UH, 30 YEAR SUV PERIOD.
THE SUP, UH, TIME PERIOD GUIDE RECOMMENDS 25 TO 30 YEARS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION DEVELOPMENT.
SINCE THIS IS A VERY LIMITED, UM, A KIOSK USE AND CONSISTENT WITH TIME PERIOD RECOMMENDED FOR RECENTLY, LIKE CONSIDERING THE RECOMMENDED TIME PERIOD FOR RECENTLY APPROVED, UH, WATER KIOSK CASES, STAFF RECOMMENDS A 15 YEAR SUP RATHER THAN THE REQUESTED 30 YEARS.
AND THIS 15 YEARS OR 15 YEARS ALSO ALLOWS THE CITY TO RE REEVALUATE THE USE IN THE FUTURE AS, AS THE LONGER TERM DEVELOPMENT REDEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES FOR THE WEDGE AND CENTER WILL MARKETPLACE AREA ARE IMPLEMENTED.
STAFF RECOMMENDS, UH, APPROVAL OF THIS SUP FOR A, UH, WATER KIOSK, UH, FOR A PERIOD OF 15 YEARS, UH, WITH A CONDITION THAT ONE PLANTER SHALL BE PROVIDED AND MAINTAINED ON EACH SIDE OF THE BENCH.
UH, TOTAL OF 98, UH, NOTICES HAS BEEN, UH, SENT TO THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS.
WE RECEIVED ONE WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION AREA IN FAVOR AND ONE WAS NEUTRAL.
SO ON OUR, I KNOW WE'VE DONE A BUNCH OF THESE, ARE WE REQUIRING THE PLANTER ON THIS SIDE? ONLY BECAUSE I DON'T RECALL HEARING THE PLANTER ON THE ONES THAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST.
YEAH, PREVIOUSLY I THINK ONE WAS, UH, APPROVED IN LIKE, UH, DECEMBER OR SOMETHING LAST YEAR.
UH, EVEN FOR THAT CASE, WE HAVE RECOMMENDED, UH, LANDSCAPING ISLAND, UH, ON THE WEST SIDE OF THIS KIOSK.
AND ALSO THE, UH, THEY HAVE THE, UH, THEY WERE HAVING, UM, A CAPABILITY TO PROVIDE LIKE A, UH, ORNAMENTAL TREES AROUND THE SIDEWALK AS WELL.
BUT IN THIS CASE, UH, DUE TO THE SITE CONSTRAINTS THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE, LIKE, UH, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH OUR RECOMMENDATIONS.
SO THE BEST THEY COULD BE AND THEN COULD, UH, LIKE AFTER GOING THROUGH MULTIPLE, UH, REVISIONS, THE BEST THEY COULD DO IS LIKE, PROVIDE A, UH, PLANNER.
I GUESS MY CONCERN IS ARE THEY GONNA DRIVE BY THIS DAILY AND LOOK AT THE PLANTER TO MAKE SURE THE PLANTS ARE GOOD? ARE THEY, YOU KNOW, IS IT GONNA GET WATERED DAILY? THAT IS GOOD COMPLIANCES, UM, RESPONSIBILITY, BUT IF IT'S IN THE ORDINANCE THAT IS REQUIRED LANDSCAPING.
UM, AND THIS IS ACTUALLY AS KA MENTIONED, THE, UH, WE HAD, I THINK WE HAD TWO OTHER SIMILAR APPLICATIONS ON BOTH OF THOSE WE RECOMMENDED.
AND, UM, CITY PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDED AND CITY COUNCIL APPROVED WAY MORE THAN, UH, WHAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING HERE.
I UNDERSTAND THERE'S SITE CONSTRAINTS HERE, BUT, UM, IF THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY, WE DO NOT WANT TO WANT THAT FULL KIOSK TO JUST BECOME CONCRETE IN BRIGGS AND WE WANT SOME SOFTENING
[00:30:01]
THERE.THAT'S STAFF'S POSITION ON THAT.
I, I, I UNDERSTAND THEIR, THEIR NEW KIOSK IS FAR AND ABOVE BETTER THAN THE OLD KIOSKS.
I, I JUST, I'M, I'M WORRIED ABOUT THAT FOR THEM BECAUSE I LIKE THAT PRODUCT, SO.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER? COMMISSIONER LUCIDO? THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
JUST, UM, WANTING TO CLARIFY, LOOKING AT THE SITE MAP, THIS IS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE JOVI'S HEV YES.
UH, SPACE, CORRECT? YES, EXACTLY.
NO, I DEFINITELY APPRECIATE THE, THE RECOMMENDATION FOR LANDSCAPING.
UM, BUT I THINK I ALSO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A CONCERN WITH, WITH THAT LOCATION MM-HMM
UM, AND WHAT IT MAY, MAY OR MAY NOT CONTRIBUTE TO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IN THE WEDGE.
UM, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THERE'S WENT ABOUT TWO MILES AWAY IN THE WEDGE ALSO.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I ALSO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS, BUT I WANTED TO, TO KIND OF, IF YOU COULD GUIDE ME THROUGH THE TIMELINE ON THIS.
UM, WAS THE PRIOR, WHAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE MOVE? DO WE, DO WE HAVE AN IDEA WHY THE APPLICANT IS MAKING THE DECISION TO, TO RELOCATE? SO AS FAR AS WE KNOW, THEY ARE, UM, LEASING THE SPACE FROM JOBY.
SO IT IS BETWEEN JOVI'S AND THEM, UM, AT THE END, BUT ADDITIONALLY IN ALL OTHER ONES, THESE, THIS PROTOTYPE THAT THEY'RE USING CURRENTLY IS OUTDATED FOR THEM.
SO THEY'RE REPLACING THEM SLOWLY AS WE SEE THEM COMING UP.
BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS PROACTIVE, UH, REDEVELOPMENT AS OPPOSED TO THE EXPIRATION OF AN SUP OR SOMETHING OF THE SORT.
THEY'RE TAKING THE INITIATIVE TO BRING US A NEW PRODUCT BASED UPON THE NEW REDEVELOPMENT THAT'S OCCURRING IN THE AREA.
THAT'S, THAT'S HELPFUL FOR ME TO KNOW.
I, I GUESS I, I WOULD THEN MIRROR THE CONCERNS REGARDING THE REQUIREMENT TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING, ESPECIALLY IF WE'RE ALREADY INCLUDING SOME, SOME LANDSCAPING IN THE AREA.
BUT I, I'LL WAIT TO HEAR FROM YOU.
THE TEST CITATION OFFICE OFFICE.
IS THE APPLICANT HERE RECEIVING AND IF SO, DO YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION? HOW ABOUT YOUR ONE? WERE YOU, YOU OUT? GOOD EVENING, SIR.
UH, THIS IS ALL ABOUT CENTER BILL AND 6 35.
THAT'S THE
I'M WITH HEB, I'M AT 5,000 PEGA PARKWAY.
UH, AND I WAS HERE PROBABLY A COUPLE MONTHS AGO WITH YOU GUYS JUST TO VISIT ON THE HEB, THE JOV SITE.
UH, THIS SITE IS, UH, A WATERMILL SITE THAT WE ARE TRYING TO RELOCATE.
UH, IT'S, THEY'RE DOING SO AT OUR REQUEST.
IT'S OUR REQUEST BECAUSE AT SOME POINT DOWN THE ROAD WE MAY WANT TO ADD ANOTHER PAD HERE AND IF WE WANT TO ADD ANOTHER PAD, WE REALLY, THE PLACE WHERE WE CAN ADD IT WOULD BE OVER ON THE, UM, WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.
AND WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF MINOR CONVERSATIONS WITH NALA AND HER TEAM ABOUT IT.
AND SO THIS GIVES US THAT OPPORTUNITY.
I'M NOT SAYING THAT IT WILL HAPPEN, BUT OBVIOUSLY 'CAUSE WE STILL GET TO COME BACK AND SEE YOU ALL WHEN THAT, WHEN IT COMES TIME FOR THAT.
BUT, UH, THE IDEA IS TO SEE IF WE CAN DO SOMETHING FROM THAT STANDPOINT.
AND I, WE ALSO LIKE THE IDEA THAT WE'RE IMPROVING THE, THE OVERALL LOOK OF THE FACILITY BECAUSE WITH THE CHANGES THAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE HELP OF THE CITY ON OUR, OUR PROPERTY, UH, AS YOU, I DON'T KNOW IF WE'VE DONE IT YET, BUT WE'RE TAKING DOWN ONE OF THE BUILDINGS.
IT'S OUT THERE, IT'S NOT DOWN.
IT'S GONNA BE COMING DOWN IN THE NEXT, UH, MONTH OR SO.
AND, UH, WE'RE, WE'LL BE CHANGING THE FACE OF OUR BUILDING QUITE A BIT.
AND SO THIS GIVES ANOTHER CHANCE TO CLEAN, CLEAN UP THE LOOK.
THAT'S A LITTLE BIT ON THE TIRE SIDE IN THAT CORNER, NO DISRESPECT MEANT, BUT IT, IT IS A LITTLE BIT ON THE FIRE SIDE.
SO THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CLEAN IT UP.
SO IT'S, THEY'RE DOING IT AT OUR REQUEST.
IT'S MORE FOR A FUTURE ASPECT OF IT.
UH, I'M, I'VE GOT THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM WATERMELON HERE WITH ME.
THEY HAVE OFFERED, UH, BECAUSE OF CONCERNS THAT WERE RAISED ABOUT THE IDEA OF CAN YOU WATER THIS? CAN YOU TAKE CARE OF IT? IT'S REALLY HARD TO WATER A, A PLANTER.
SO WHAT THEY'VE OFFERED TO DO IS, IS THERE'S AN AREA AWAY FROM THE SERVICE AREA AND I'VE GOT A SKETCH, A PARTIAL SKETCH OF IT.
[00:35:01]
IF I CAN PUT IT UP HERE.I'M, I'M NOT GONNA TRY TO OPERATE THIS THING AND LET SOMEBODY ELSE TELL ME HOW TO OPERATE THIS THING.
SORRY, WE DON'T USE THE ADVANCED STUFF
I, I HAVE A DAUGHTER THAT EXPLAINS HOW TO USE MY PHONE.
ONE OF THE CONCERNS WHEN EACH TIME YOU'RE USING THE WATERMILL EXPRESS IS TRIP AND FALL.
'CAUSE YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE THAT ARE CARRYING FULL LOADS OUT THERE TO FILL UP THE WATER, FILL UP WITH ICE.
'CAUSE IT'S NOW WITH DISPENSER'S ICE AS WELL.
AND WE, WE WORRY ABOUT TRIP AND FALL AND ANYTIME THAT HAPPENS, WE DON'T WANT TO BE SUED.
WE DON'T WANT WATER MILK TO BE EX SUED OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TRY TO AVOID IF IT'S ALL POSSIBLE.
UM, SO ANYTIME WE CAN AVOID CURBS, WE TRY TO DO THAT.
SO HIGH TECH HERE, IF YOU CAN NEED BORROW, I NEED TO GET MY EYES CHECKED OR, UH,
WELL, LET ME, LET ME BORROW THEIR DRAWING AND YOU PROBABLY SHOW UP BETTER THAT WAY AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
WE'LL JUST, UH, IF YOU, CAN YOU BRING THAT SITE PLAN BACK UP OVER HERE? SORRY, CAN YOU BRING THE SITE PLAN UP? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
KEEP GOING THROUGH YOUR HOUSE.
IF, IF WE CAN, WE CAN COME IN THIS AREA ON THE KIND OF THE BACKSIDE OF THIS HERE AND WE CAN GO AHEAD AND PROVIDE SOME LANDSCAPING IN THERE.
THE CONCERN WITH PLANTERS IS YOU CAN'T WATER, SO THAT BECOMES THE, THE BIGGEST CONCERN.
SO IF THERE'S SOME CONCERN ON FROM THAT STANDPOINT, ON THE BACKSIDE OF IT, WE, WE COMMENCE CURB THAT PUT INTO PLANTS.
WE WANNA BE CAREFUL BECAUSE MUCH LIKE WE WORRY ABOUT TREES CLOSE TO THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, WE WANT TO, OR WE WORRY ABOUT CRICKETS, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, AROUND PLANTS WHEN, WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO GET FRESH WATER AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
SO IF IT'S BEHIND THE SERVICE AREA, I THINK THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT AND WE COULD PROVIDE THAT DRAWING TO STAFF, UH, WITH SOME REALLY CUTE PLANTS ON IT AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
SO, UM, IF THAT WOULD HELP Y'ALL'S DELIBERATION, WE'RE MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO THAT.
LOVE THE CREATIVE, UH, PROBLEM SOLVING YOU MY FOLLOW UP TO THAT.
UM, SOMETIMES, UH, PEOPLE WHEN USING THE SERVICE WILL POUR OUT ICE OR POUR OFF USED WATER.
IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING SPACE COULD BE HELPFUL FOR THAT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SORRY FOR NOT SHOWING UP WITH THE DRAWING THAT, UH, COULD PASS OUT OR WE GOT TO PLAY WITH TOYS.
IT IS ALWAYS, I, IT, IT WORKS OUT A LOT BETTER.
COMMISSIONER MARIA, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR, UH, FOR GIVING US, UH, THAT, THAT KIND OF WORK AROUND THERE.
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK WE WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED IN CONSIDERING.
ONE THOUGHT I HAD WAS, I KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE WE AGREED ON A BENCH.
UH, I THINK SOMEONE THE BACK THERE NOW I JUST THINK ABOUT TEXAS HEAT.
IS THERE ANY WAY, ANY CONSIDERATION, MAYBE THERE COULD BE SOME TYPE OF LITTLE SHAME? UM, I, YOU KNOW, I'M, I'LL BRING FOLKS FROM WATERMELON IN HERE TO ASK THAT, ANSWER THAT QUESTION BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I'M, I I CAN, IF IT IS A HEB OR A JOVI'S, I CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION, BUT I, THIS ONE IS THAT BENCH FACING NORTH? WHAT THAT YES.
OKAY, SO BUILDING, UH, MY NAME'S RICK KELLY WITH WATERMILL EXPRESS.
OUR ADDRESSES 36 16 PINE PLANTS IN IRVING.
UM, SO THE NEW UNIT IS INEVITABLY BETTER THAN OUR OLD UNIT.
UH, MUCH MORE ATTRACTIVE, MUCH MORE MODERN.
IT'S GOT A LOT OF CUSTOMER FRIENDLY FEATURES THAT OUR CUSTOMERS LIKE, UH, FAST FILLED A NEW UNIT HAS.
NICE, UH, IN REGARDS TO YOUR QUESTION WHERE THE OLD UNIT REALLY DIDN'T, IT ONLY HAD A VERY SMALL AWNING AROUND IT.
THE NEW ONE HAS A FULL SIZE AWNING IN FRONT.
SO YOU'RE, YOU'RE OUT OUT OF THE TEXAS HEAT WHENEVER YOU'RE GETTING WATER OR ICE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT, SEEING NO OTHER QUESTIONS, THE CHAIR? OH, NOT OF, NOT OF THESE GUYS.
UM, BUT OF STAFF OR CAN WE WORK WITH THEM ON THAT? ALL PARENT? YEAH, NO, I APPRECIATE THEM COMING UP, UM, WITH THE SOLUTION, I THINK.
NO, NO, I WAS JUST GONNA SAY TO THAT WHAT WHAT WE CAN DO IS WE CAN FOLLOW THE, BASICALLY THE OUTLINE OF THE PARKING SPACE.

THE SITE IS LOCATED AT 3 1 6 MAIN STREET.
UH, AS MENTIONED, THIS IS A REQUEST FOR SEP FOR ACT OR BODY PACING, UH, USE.
AND, UM, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT G ONE SIX MAIN STREET.
UH, IT'S PART OF DOWNTOWN, UH, ZONING DISTRICT.
UH, THE APPLICANT IS ROCKING S UH, THE AREA OF THIS, UH, LOT IS APPROXIMATELY 0.24 ACRES, AND THIS SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT SOUTHEAST CORNER OF MAIN STREET AND SOUTH FOURTH STREET.
THE ROCKING PATTERNS CURRENTLY OPERATES FROM SE 200, UH, WITHIN THE SAME BUILDING IN AN APPROXIMATELY THREE 50 SQUARE FOOT, UH, SQUARE FOOTAGE OF TENANT SPACE.
UH, THE, IN 2016, THE CITY COUNCIL
[00:45:01]
APPROVED AN SEP, UH, FOR THE SAME USE, UH, FOR A PERIOD OF THREE YEARS.AND AGAIN, IN 2019, UH, THE CITY APPROVED ANOTHER SUP FOR SAME USE AND THE TENANT SPACE FOR 10 YEAR PERIOD AND APPROXIMATELY THREE YEARS SHOULD REMAIN ON THAT EXISTING SUP AT THIS POINT OF TIME.
AND HOWEVER, UH, THE EXISTING SUP AUTHORIZES THE USE SPECIFICALLY WITHIN THE SUIT NUMBER 200, APPLICANT NOW PROPOSES TO RELOCATE IT TO THE BUSINESS TO THE ADJACENT SUIT NUMBER A HUNDRED, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 1600 SQUARE FEET, UH, A SQUARE FOOTAGE OF AREA.
SO A NEW SVP IS REQUIRED, UH, FOR THIS RELOCATION.
UH, THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES ARE ALSO WITHIN DOWNTOWN DISTRICT ACROSS MAIN STREET, UH, TO THE NORTH IS AN AUTOMOBILE REPAIR USE IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST IS A PARKING AREA UNDER THE SAME OWNERSHIP THAT SERVES THIS BUILDING.
THE PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH IS UNDEVELOPED, AND ON THE WEST IT IS A RAILROAD, UH, RIGHT OF WAY.
UM, GIVEN THE PREDO PREDOMINANTLY NON RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER OF THE SURROUNDING AREA AND THE FACT THAT THE BUSINESS, UH, ALREADY OPERATES AT THIS LOCATION, UH, STAFF, UH, DOES NOT ANTICIPATE THE RELOCATION CREATING ADDITIONAL LAND USE CONFLICTS, UH, WITH NEARBY PROPERTIES.
THE FUTURE LAND USE, UH, UH, DESIGNATION FOR THIS SUBJECT PROPERTY IS NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS, WHICH ARE INTENDED TO PROVIDE A MIX OF RETAIL SERVICES AND IN COMMUNITY GATHERING PLACES, AND ARE GENERALLY PUT, UH, LIKE, UH, PREDOMINANTLY ALL THE NON-EXCLUSIVE EXCLUSIVELY AMOUNT SHIP.
THE PROPOSED USE IS A PERSONAL SERVICE USE WITHIN AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL BUILDING AND IS GENERALLY CONSISTENT WITH THE SERVICE COMPONENT OF THIS, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS, UH, FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
AND ALSO THIS PROPERTY IS A PART OF OUR DOWNTOWN ECONOMIC FOCUS AREA OF, UH, OF THE CITY STRATEGIC PLAN, UH, INCLUDING IDENTIFIED SHORT TERM FOCUS AREA.
UH, SO GARLAND ON THEIR RISE IDENTIFIES DOWNTOWN AS A PRIORITY AREA FOR CONCENTRATED REINVESTMENT AND REQUIRES, UH, PROMOTES HIGHER VALUE DEVELOPMENT, MIXED USE ACTIVITY, AND MORE WALKABLE DEVELOPMENT.
AND THE HOUSING STRATEGY ALSO IDENTIFIES A GOAL OF ADDING APPROXIMATELY 2,500 HOUSING UNITS, HOUSEHOLDS WITHIN AND AROUND DOWNTOWN OVER NEXT 10 YEARS TO SUPPORT DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES, UH, RESTAURANTS, SERVICES, AND THE CITY'S TAX BASE.
THIS WAS PARTICULAR USE, UH, REQUEST WOULD ALLOW AN EXISTING BUSINESS TO OCCUPY A LARGER SUIT AND INCLUDES LIMITED EXTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS.
UM, BUT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THIS, UH, UH, FA FACTORS, UH, THAT THE GOVERNMENT ON THE RISE IDENTIFIES, UH, LIKE, UH, WHICH INCLUDES HOUSING MIXED USE, UH, REDEVELOPMENT, UM, THAT WOULD DIRECTLY, UM, ADVANCE THOSE LONGER TERM OBJECTIVES.
FURTHER REASON, UH, STAFF BELIEVES, UH, A LESSER SAP PERIOD IS APPROPRIATE, UH, WHICH, UH, WHICH WOULD BE LIKE FIVE YEAR.
IT, IT ALLOWS THE ESTABLISHED BUSINESS TO CONTINUE OPERATING AND MAKE THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS WHILE PRESERVING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY TO REEVALUATE THE USE AS A DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT.
OBJECTIVES ARE IMPLEMENTED AND HERE ARE THE SIDE PICTURES.
UM, UH, WE CAN SEE THE ADJACENT, THE FIRST TWO PICTURES SHOW THE BUILDING FROM THE WEST, UH, UH, FROM THE WEST, UH, WEST SIDE, A NORTHEAST SIDE.
AND, UH, ALSO THE EMPTY SPACE, UH, ADJACENT TO THE, UH, BUILDING IS A PARKING AREA THAT CURRENTLY, UH, BEING USED BY THE ALL THE USERS WITHIN THE SAME BUILDING.
HERE IS THE CONCEPT PLAN, UH, PROVIDED AS A, UH, SUBMITTED AS A PART OF THIS ENTRY REQUEST.
UH, THE APPLICANT CURRENTLY OPERATES, UH, THE BUSINESS OF IN THE SUIT 200, WHICH IS OVER HERE.
AND HE, THEY ARE TRYING TO RELOCATE IT TO A BIGGER SUIT, WHICH IS LIKE ALMOST CLOSE TO FOUR TIMES THE SIZE OF THE EXISTING, UH, TENANT SPACE, UH, WHICH IS SEPTEMBER A HUNDRED, WHICH IS THE LARGEST SPACE,
[00:50:01]
UH, UH, UNDER GDC.THIS USE REQUIRES, UH, THE PARKING REQUIREMENT FOR THIS USE IS ONE SPACE PER TWO 50 SQUARE FOOT OF, UH, UH, OF FLOOR AREA.
THE PROPOSED, UH, SPACE REQUIRES SEVEN PARKING SPACES.
THE COMBINED PARKING REQUIREMENT FOR ALL THE USERS ON THIS PROPERTY IS 16 SPACES.
WHILE 38 SPACES ARE BEING PROVIDED ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND ADJACENT PROPERTY UNDER THE SAME OWNERSHIP.
THEREFORE, ADEQUATE PARKING IS AVAILABLE FOR THIS PROPOSED, UH, RELOCATION.
AND ALSO, UH, AS A PART OF THIS, UM, AS REQUEST THE APPLICANT, UH, ALSO PROPOSING, UH, TWO PLANTERS AROUND THIS, UH, MAIN STREET.
AND ALSO, UH, SOME, UH, ART, UH, UH, EXCEEDED IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH ARE, WHICH INVOLVES THESE ARTS AS WELL.
SO THESE ARE SOME EXAMPLES FOR REFERENCES, WHICH, WHICH WAS SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT.
SO THESE ARE SOME REFERENCES, UH, SOME IDEAS HE'S WILLING TO, UM, UH, TO DO IN NEAR, NEAR FUTURE TO MAKE THESE SORT OF, UH, IMPROVEMENTS, EXCEED IMPROVEMENTS IN NEAR FUTURE.
AS A PART OF, UH, UH, ON THIS PROPERTY, UH, APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A 10 YEAR SUP.
ON THE SUP TIME PERIOD GUIDE RECOMMENDS FIVE TO EIGHT YEARS, BUT USES OCCUPYING SHOOTS WITHIN EXISTING BUILDING.
UH, STAFF RECOMMENDS, UH, APPROVAL OF THE SUP WITH A FIVE YEAR TIME PERIOD WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITION.
FIRST, UH, THE USE WILL BE LIMITED TO SUIT HUNDRED, UH, AND SHALL BE OPERATED IN GENERAL CONFORMANCE WITH THE APPROVED CONCEPT PLAN.
UH, THE SECOND CONDITION WOULD BE, UH, THE EXISTING SUP FOR SUIT 200 MAY REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR MAXIMUM OF 30 CALENDAR DAYS FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF NEW SAP TO FACILITATE THE RELOCATION AFTER THE TRANSITION PERIOD, THE EXISTING SUP WILL TERMINATE AND OPERATIONS IN TWO 200 MUST SEE.
UH, THE THIRD CONDITION WOULD BE, UH, THE APPLICANT PROVIDING TWO WATER PLANTERS CONTAINING, UH, LIVE LIFE PLAN MATERIALS AND EXISTING ARTWORK, AND ALSO RESTORATION OF PREVIOUS, UM, DEMOLISHED, UH, HORIZONTAL ARCHITECTURAL FUTURE ABOVE HUNDRED.
THE RESTORED FEATURE MUST MATCH THE MATERIAL DESIGN, COLOR, AND PROFILE OF THE REMAINING ORIGINAL FUTURE.
THESE IMPROVEMENTS MUST BE COORDINATED WITH AND APPROVED BY THE DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT OFFICE PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.
AND FINAL CONDITION WOULD BE THE HOUSE OF OPERATION WOULD BE LIMITED TO MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, 11:00 AM TO 11:00 PM AND THE BUSINESS WILL BE CLOSED ON SUNDAYS.
UH, TOTAL OF, UH, 68, UH, MALES HAS BEEN, UH, SENT TO SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS.
WE RECEIVED NO RESPONSES, UM, WITH THIS.
UM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COMMISSIONER MIRANDA? YES.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR. CHAIRMAN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT PRESENTATION COMMENT.
UH, FOR A QUESTION I HAVE RIGHT THERE WITH THE, UH, HOURS THAT WE'RE PUTTING AS A CONDITION, IS THAT CONSISTENT WITH LIKE THE OTHER BUSINESSES THAT WE HAVE ALSO SUDDEN DOWNTOWN? WAS THERE SPECIFIC REASON WHY WE'RE SAYING LIKE MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY? UM, JUST WONDER IS THAT AN CONDITION THAT CAME FROM THE APPLICANT? IT WAS MORE LIKE A SELFIMPOSED, LIKE IT WAS AS PART OF THE, SO GENERALLY THE BUSINESS AUTOMATICALLY JUST SHARES WITH US, UM, THEIR, UH, HOURS OF OPERATION.
BUT IT IS NOT UNCOMMON TO HAVE HOURS OF OPERATION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TYPE OF BUSINESS.
I'LL PROBABLY HAVE SOME MORE QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT.
UH, WOULD YOU GO BACK TO THE DRAWING THAT HAD A HISTORICAL MARKER THERE? UM, IS THAT, IS THAT PROPERTY A HISTORICAL SIDE? YES.
UH, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S A SUBJECT, UM, UH, SUBJECT TYPE MARKER.
SO I, I CAN ADDRESS THAT QUESTION.
[00:55:01]
I DO HAVE, UM, A QUESTION.SO IT'S ONLY RELATING TO THE PROCESS OF THE TRANSITION.
UM, UH, GDC SAYS THEY GOTTA HAVE ALL PERMITS ISSUED BEFORE THEY CAN START USING THE SPACE, BUT WE'RE GIVING 'EM A 30 DAY PERIOD TO ALLOW 'EM TO TRANSITION INTO THE SPACE.
HOW DOES, IS THERE CONFLICT THERE? 'CAUSE THEY'RE GONNA DO REMODELING AS WELL TO, UH, TO, TO BRING THE SPACE UP INTO, YOU KNOW, THE STANDARDS? WELL, WE'RE STILL NOT GONNA ISSUE A CO UNTIL THEIR WORK IS DONE, THE 30 DAYS FOR THE, UM, FOR THEM TO ARRANGE THE TRANSITION.
SO THERE'S NO CONFLICT IN, UH, OUR OPINION BECAUSE WE'RE STILL NOT GONNA GIVE THEM THE CO UNTIL THAT SUITE 100 IS, UM, READY AND GOT THERE.
THAT MAKE SENSE? I, I THINK IT PROBABLY, YEAH.
UM, NEXT QUESTION WE'VE GOT, UM, THERE, UH, THE, THE QUESTION REGARDING THE LANDSCAPING, WE'RE DOING THE, THE TWO PLANTERS SITUATION, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE APPLICANT IS THE, IS THE, UH, RESPONSIBLE PARTY FOR BRINGING THAT FORWARD, UM, BECAUSE OF THE RENOVATION, 'CAUSE OF THE SITE CHANGE.
IS THAT, THAT DOESN'T, UH, GENERATE ANY ADDITIONAL LAND, UH, LANDSCAPING PROOF IT NEEDS TO BE? NO.
SO THE WAY OUR LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS WORK, IT'S USUALLY REMODELING TYPE THINGS.
DON'T GENERAL, GENERALLY EVER, UM, TRIGGER LANDSCAPING.
IT'S WHEN THE SITE WORK IS ASSOCIATED, THE SITE WORK HERE IS VERY LIMITED.
THEY'RE JUST ADDING, THEY'RE RESTORING THE HISTORICAL AWNING.
SO THAT'S NOT CONSIDERED SIDE WORK.
APPLICANT, YOU PREPARED TO COME ON DOWN? SURE.
CITY SECRETARY FOR ANY TIME COMMISSION, MR. JENKINS.
MY NAME IS LUCAS, UH, LIVE TWELVE TEN ONE WAY GARDEN CENTER, 5 4 3 STREET.
UM, WELL I GUESS TODAY I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK HERE AFTER NINE YEARS, UH, UH, NINE YEARS AGO.
WE HAVE, UH, IT WAS NEW TO ME TO BE HERE IN THE CITY AND YOU CREATED NEW BUSINESS.
SOMETHING THAT IT WAS, HAD CHANGED PERCEPTION IN A LOT OF PEOPLE AND WE ACTUALLY MANAGED TO GET AWARDED AND TO GROW.
AND I GUESS THROUGH THIS WE HAVE THE, I MEAN, GET GREW.
WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GROW A LITTLE MORE AND JUST, YOU KNOW, I LOVE HARD, I THINK KNOW MY NEIGHBORS.
WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE NOW AND YOU KNOW, WE LOVE TO, YOU KNOW, KEEP GROWING WITH THE CITY, DOING ALL THESE THINGS.
OF COURSE, UH, ALWAYS TRYING TO, UH, YOU KNOW, WE GOT THE JERSEY OF GARLAND ON ALL THE TIME AND JUST BE PROUD AND, UM, TRY TO BRING A BETTER SERVICE TO OUR, OUR NEIGHBORS COMMUNITY AND THINGS THAT WE'VE, WE'VE BEEN WORKING FOR A FEW YEARS.
ASK ANY QUESTION? ANY QUESTIONS, SIR? WE'VE GOT SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU.
IT SAYS COMMISSIONER CORNELIUS, AND I KNOW THAT'S NOT CORRECT, COMMISSIONER, ACTUALLY.
UM, MY QUESTION IS, UM, DO YOU THINK THAT, UM, 30 DAYS FOR YOU TO MAKE THAT TRANSITION IS SUFFICIENT TIME FROM THE EXISTING SUP TO IT SHOULD BE.
THERE'S NO MODIFICATIONS WITHIN THE, THE PREMISES OTHER THAN LIKE COSMETIC INSIDE OF THE BUILDING.
THERE'S NOT MUCH, UH, EVERYTHING SEEMS TO LIKE THE ELECTRICAL AND EVERYTHING MODIFIED OR ANYTHING.
EVERYTHING IS PLACED IN A WAY THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY WORK WITH.
UH, A LOT OF THE THINGS WE'RE GONNA DO IS WITHIN THE BUILDING, RIGHT INSIDE THE BUILDING.
UH, 30 DAYS IS BASICALLY WHAT I WAS ASKING.
SO I DON'T WANT TO HAVE THE CREW THAT IS CURRENTLY WORKING IN SUITE 100 TO, I'M SORRY, SUITE 200 TO NOT BEING ABLE TO WORK WHILE WE FIX THE OTHER STUFF.
AND I MEAN, THEY GOT FAMILIES AND THEY OUT TO MAKE A LIVING, RIGHT? UM, SO YEAH, I THINK, I BELIEVE IT WILL BE, IT WILL BE ENOUGH.
IT'S, UH, THERE'S, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, THERE'S NOT A LOT TO TO TO MODIFY.
UM, AND I GUESS I HAVE A FOLLOW UP QUESTION, MAYBE MORE FOR STAFF.
UM, IT DOES SAY THAT, UM, AFTER THE 30 YOU 30 AFTER THE 30 DAYS, UM, THE, THE OPERATIONS IN SUITE 200 MUST CEASE.
SO IF I WAS JUST CONCERNED THAT 30 DAYS IS GOING TO GIVE YOU SUFFICIENT TIME AND WHAT WERE TO HAPPEN, IF YOU GO BEYOND THE 30 DAYS AND NEED ADDITIONAL TIME, THEN YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATING IN THE
[01:00:01]
EXISTING SUITE.WHAT I WAS, I WAS LISTENING, UH, WHEN YOU GUYS WERE TALKING ABOUT THE CO IS THAT GONNA BE, WE SAID REMEMBER THIS IS JUST
UM, BUT BASED ON WHAT YOU'RE DESCRIBING DOESN'T LOOK LIKE, IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE YOU EVEN NEED A PERMIT BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT DOING ANY REMODELING WORK, RIGHT? YOU'RE JUST BRINGING THE EQUIPMENT.
NO, WE ARE JUST BASICALLY TRANSFERRING THINGS TO SPORTS CHAIRS AND EVERYTHING.
I THINK 30 DAYS MORE THAN ENOUGH.
IT SHOULD BE, I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE.
UH,
THANK YOU LUCAS FOR BEING HERE.
UM, SO I GUESS MY QUESTION WOULD BE ON THE, THE, WAS IT THE ARC PIECE SLASH MEMORIAL THAT YOU'RE LOOKING TO? WE HAVE A PICTURE HERE.
IS THAT WHAT WE'RE PLANNING TO DO OR IS I I CAN AGREE.
I'LL THAT MORE FOR YOUR, HAVE MY QUESTION.
IF HE WANTS TO COME ON THAT WANT COME ON THAT.
JUST GIVE YOUR NAME AND JUST ABSOLUTELY.
UM, IT'S, UH, ROBERT SMITH, 1 1 5 NORTH NINTH STREET HERE IN DOWNTOWN GARLAND.
I WOULD REALLY LOVE TO GET THIS THING WORKING IF WE CAN FOR THE MEETING
UM, 'CAUSE THIS WILL HELP, THIS WILL HELP EXPLAIN.
YOU HAVE TO MAKE A BUILDING OUT NOW.
UM, THE, UM, I PURCHASED THIS, UM, UH, BUILDING FOR MR. HEAD, UM, HIS PARENTS.
HE WAS, HE WAS BORN IN THE SECOND STORY OF THAT, OF THAT BUILDING.
AND, UM, HE OWNED IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH 2016, I THINK IS WHEN I, WHEN I FINALLY PURCHASED THE, THE BUILDING.
UM, I WOULD SEND LETTERS TO HIM ANNUALLY FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS TRYING TO PURCHASE IT.
AND AFTER I HAD DONE THE WORK AT ROSLYN'S COFFEE SHOP ON THAT, UM, RECONSTRUCTION, HE CALLED AND HE SAID, I AM READY TO, UH, PART WITH IT.
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO, PART, PART OF THE BUILDING WAS SOMEONE WHO I KNOW THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF THE STRUCTURE.
AND, UH, AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO WORK OUT TERMS. UM, AND SO I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE THEN.
THESE DRAWINGS I BROUGHT BEFORE THE PLAN COMMISSION 17, AND I ACTUALLY PULLED THE PLUG ON DOING 'EM BECAUSE I DIDN'T FEEL THE MARKET WAS TIMELY ENOUGH TO TAKE THE RISK TO DO A MAJOR DEVELOPMENT, UM, ACROSS THE RAILROAD TRACKS.
NOW, AFTER STUDYING THE MARKET IN DOWNTOWN AND BEING ACTIVE WITH IT FOR 20 YEARS AND SEEING THE LEVEL OF COMMITMENT FROM THE CITY ON THE, UH, REDESIGN, UM, I THINK IT'S, I THINK, I THINK WE'RE RIGHT ON TARGET TO DO SOMETHING JUST LIKE THIS.
SO IN THE MEANTIME, IT IS A HISTORIC STRUCTURE, UH, TO THE, UH, TO, TO DOWNTOWN.
UM, IT IS A SUBJECT MARKER, NOT AN ARCHITECTURAL MARKER.
SO IT'S A SUBJECT MARKER FOR THE, FOR THE SITE.
UH, MY COUSIN AND I, I PAID FOR THE, UM, FOR THE, FOR THE SUBJECT MARKER.
HE DID THE, THE HISTORIC WORK ON IT.
UM, AND THE, UH, THE MR. HEAD, UH, THE ORIGINAL AWNING WAS NOT THERE WHEN I PURCHASED THE BUILDING, BUT THAT IN, IN THESE RENDERINGS IS THE AWNING IN ITS EXACT STYLE THAT USED TO BE THERE IN 1947.
THERE ARE SOME OLD, OLD PHOTOS, UM, OF THAT.
AND SO I'M PROPOSING TO RETURN THAT AWNING AND UNDER THAT AWNING WILL REST THE SUBJECT MARKER.
AND, UM, IF STAFF CAN GO BACK TO THAT, UH, THIS PHOTO GOING YIELD, IT'S ON THIS SIDE.
WHAT, WHATEVER WAS ON THE COMPUTER THERE? IT'S, UM, I HAD AN ARTIST, UM, DO, I HAD A COMMISSION DONE FOR THIS PIECE.
AND IT IS A PIECE DEPICTING, UM, IT SPEAKS VERY PERSONALLY ACTUALLY.
UM, BUT THE WHOLE COMMUNITY HAS, UM, WORKED INCREDIBLY, INCREDIBLY DILIGENTLY TO BRING BACK DOWNTOWN.
AND THIS PIECE REPRESENTS THE STRUGGLE OF THAT FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS.
[01:05:01]
MY OFFICE SINCE 2019.UM, AND IT WILL GO UNDER, UNDER THAT BONDING WHERE THE OLD, THE OLD GAS PUMPS WOULD'VE GONE ORIGINALLY WITH THAT.
UM, IF WE CAN SWITCH BACK TO THE REDEVELOPED, UM, PART OF IT, UM, MY ARCHITECT I HAVE COMMITTED AND, UM, DO HAVE THE FULL SET OF PLANS FOR THIS, UM, ADDITION.
THE, UH, THE QUESTION IN FRONT OF US IS ACTUALLY INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS.
UM, I'M GONNA NEED TO PAY YOU THE ALLEY THAT'S IN THE BACK AND CURRENTLY IN DISCUSSION WITH THE CITY ON HOW WE WILL DO THAT TO ACCOMMODATE THE NECESSARY PARKING FOR THIS, THIS ENTIRE PROJECT.
UM, THE, UH, THE SUBJECT, THE HISTORICAL PART OF THE BUILDING IS ACTUALLY DETACHED FROM THE NEW ADDITION.
SO IT WILL NOT IMPACT THE HISTORIC NATURE OF THE, OF THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE.
UH, THIS IS A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT.
IT WILL BE, UM, IT COULD BE OFFICE, IT COULD BE RETAIL DOWN BELOW, IT COULD BE ART.
THE, UH, UP UP ABOVE ARE TWO APARTMENTS PER BUILDING.
UH, IT CAN ALSO BE LIVE WORKSPACE AS WELL.
UM, AND I THINK IT WOULD BE A, A VERY NICE ADDITION COMING INTO THE SQUARE, UM, FROM COMING OFF OF FIRST STREET.
SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO DOING THE WHOLE PROJECT.
SO I, I HOPE THAT ANSWERS ALL'S QUESTION.
THE OTHER, THE OTHER LITTLE SMALL DETAIL THAT I WOULD LIKE TO PETITION THE, THE COMMISSION ABOUT IS WITH LUCAS'S THREE REMAINING ADDITIONAL YEARS UNDER HIS CURRENT SUP, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THOSE THREE YEARS TO THE FIVE YEAR RECOMMENDATION OF STAFF TO MAKE IT A TOTAL OF EIGHT YEARS IN HIS NEW SPACE AT SUITE 200.
UH, THAT'S A REQUEST THAT I HAVE FOR YOU.
ANY QUESTIONS? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NOT A ONE SECOND.
COMMISSIONER DUCKWORTH, MR. SMITH, YOU, YOU BROUGHT UP A, A BRAIN CELL.
DID THAT, WAS THAT A CAR DEALERSHIP MANY, MANY YEARS AGO? NO, IT WAS ALWAYS, IT WAS ALWAYS A GAS SERVICE STATION, AND THEN MR. HEAD, UM, STARTED WORKING ON THE GISD SCHOOL BUSES IN THE BACK WHERE WALLS WELDING IS TODAY.
AND, UM, IT'S, IT IS A FANTASTIC BUILDING.
UM, IT'S, IT IS GOT, IT'S PROBABLY IN, IN MY OPINION, THERE'S A LOT OF GREAT BUILDINGS IN DOWNTOWN, BUT THIS, THIS HAS THE BONES TO REALLY MAKE A VERY SPECIAL ADDITION.
IT GOES WAY BACK IN OUR MEMORIES AS YES.
MR. SMITH, I WANNA SAY FIRST AND FOREMOST, THANK YOU FOR ATTAINING AND, UH, REMEMBERING THE HISTORIC NATURE OF THE BUILDING, KEEPING THE CHARACTER LONG TERM.
I'VE ALSO, UH, STARTED TO DO WORK WITH HISTORICAL COMMISSION, SO I UNDERSTAND THE WORK THAT IT TAKES TO EVEN GET TO THAT POINT, RIGHT? THANK YOU FOR, FOR WANTING TO PRESERVE A PIECE OF GARLAND'S HISTORY OR THE STATE'S HISTORY AT THIS POINT.
UM, I, I, I, UH, UM, ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT YOU HAVE FUTURE, UH, PLANS TO, TO DO SOME ADDITIONAL, UH, WORK DEVELOPMENT AT THE SITE.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT WE FOCUS ON THE QUESTION BEFORE THE APPLICATION THIS EVENING, WHICH IS THE SUP.
I'VE GOT, NO, I DO, I'VE GOT TWO SPEAKER CARDS FOR THIS ONE THIS EVENING.
IT MIGHT BE THE APPLICANT, I THINK IT IS.
I DIDN'T CHECK THE LITTLE BOX THERE AND CONFUSED ME.
ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THIS EVENING? LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT.
SEEING NO ONE IN THE AUDIENCE COMMISSION, IT'S UP TO YOU.
WE'VE GOT COMMISSIONER ABLE, UH, TO MAKE SOME MOTION, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF YOUR MIC IS GONNA BE LIVE PUSHING AT THE SAME TIME I BEHAVE.
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THIS WITH THE STAFF RECOMMENDED STIPULATIONS AS STATED WITH AN SUP OF FIVE YEARS.
AND WE HAVE A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER MIRANDA, DO YOU CONCUR? NOT CONCUR.
DO WE HAVE ANOTHER SECOND? AND I KNOW WE, WE HAVE TO CLEAR THE MOTION FOR THAT ALTOGETHER BECAUSE HE SECOND NOW APPEARS AND THEN WE MAKE A MOTION, WHICH IS, GO AHEAD AND PUSH THE BUTTON FOR ME.
JUST GO AHEAD AND PUSH, JUST PUSH THE BUTTON.
AND NOW WE'LL LEAVE YOU HERE FOR A SECOND.
WE'VE GOT A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER LUCIDO.
AND JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M CLEAR ON THE MOTION, IT'S A MOTION
[01:10:01]
TO APPROVE PER STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION, INCLUDING THE LIMITED, UH, SUP TIMEFRAME WITH FIVE YEARS.JUST GO AHEAD AND PREPARE THE VOTE ON THAT.
THAT PASSES SIX TO ONE TO ABSTENTIONS OF COURTS.
BEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS, TONIGHT'S MEETING IS NOW AT, I DUNNO, UH, AT 7 45 7 41.
OUR NEXT MEETING IS GOING TO BE SCHEDULED FOR MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28TH, 2026 AT A VERY SCHEDULE TIME, 6:30 PM THANK YOU ALL AND HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.
