I GRADUATED IN 1969.

MY LOTTERY NUMBER WAS 71.

I WOULD'VE GONE HAD I LOST MY COLLEGE DEFERMENT.

MOST OF YOU THAT AREN'T THIS OLD AS ME, Y'ALL CAN SIT DOWN, DON'T KNOW WHAT THE LOTTERY NUMBER WAS.

I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE I WAS WHEN I GOT MY LOTTERY NUMBER.

KURT, I WAS A BAPTIST STUDENT UNION CENTER IN NORTH TEXAS, SITTING ON THE FLOOR LISTENING TO THE TV, AND THEY PULLED THE NUMBERS OUT.

NUMBER ONE PULLED OUT THE DATE.

NUMBER TWO, Y'ALL TURN AROUND SO THEY CAN GET A PICTURE.

MINE WAS 71 MIND.

WELL, MAYOR, MINE WAS 71.

SO, UM, I WOULD'VE GONE, HAD I LOST AND I WOULD'VE GONE.

IT HAD FALLEN OUT OF FAVOR, BUT I WASN'T GOING TO CANADA.

I HAD FRIENDS THAT WENT, FRIENDS THAT CAME BACK, FRIENDS THAT DIDN'T COME BACK.

BUT YOU SAID IT RIGHT IN THIS PROCLAMATION.

THEY WEREN'T WELL RECEIVED.

AND, UH, I JUST WANT TO THANK Y'ALL FOR WHAT Y'ALL HAVE DONE FOR OUR CITY.

THERE'S NOT AN EVENT THAT REBECCA AND I GO TO THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING REALLY, THAT Y'ALL AREN'T VOLUNTEERING.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE VETERANS.

Y'ALL ARE THERE IN THE HEAT WITH THE CHAIRS VOLUNTEERING, AND THANK Y'ALL SO MUCH.

OH, THAT'S MUCH BETTER.

YEAH, THAT WORKS.

'CAUSE THEY KNEW THEY WOULDN'T.

YOU KNOW, THE STORY LOT GOT ON.

NEXT THURSDAY FOR NEXT PRIME REAL.

WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO EAT IT JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE SERVING IT.

IF YOU WANNA SEE SOME NEAT HISTORY.

CNN DID SOME GOOD DOCUMENTARIES ON THE SIXTIES AND THE SEVENTIES.

UH, THERE WAS A LOT OF STUFF HAPPENING BACK IN THE SIXTIES AND THE SEVENTIES THAT, UH, WE NEED TO REMEMBER.

UH, SO, UH, THEY'RE REAL GOOD DOCUMENTARIES.

WE LOST SOME GOOD PEOPLE BACK THEN.

UM, YOU THE BOY SCOUTS OVER HERE.

WHAT TROOP ARE YOU FROM? STAND UP AND HOLLER IT OUT.

DON'T LET YOU BACK UP HERE IN YOUR EAGLE SCOUTS.

MY SEAT, I RECOGNIZE MAYOR COLE HUMPHREYS.

YOU, WHILE I'M GOING BACK TO

[CONSENT AGENDA]

GO OVER OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

THE FULL AGENDA WAS, UH, POSTED ON CITY WEBSITE GPTX.ORG, AS WELL AS, UM, ON THE FRONT, FRONT STEPS.

I GUESS IT'S NOT STEPS, THE FRONT, UH, AR AREA UP THERE FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO REVIEW IT AND THE AGENDA IN MORE DETAIL.

ALSO, CITIZENS MAY SPEAK FOR FIVE MINUTES ON ANY ITEM ON THE AGENDA BY COMPLETING A AND SUBMITTING A SPEAKER CARD.

UH, WE HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW THESE ITEMS DURING BRIEFING TODAY.

COUNSEL DIDN'T HAVE ANY PARTICULAR QUESTIONS.

UM, WITH THAT BEING SAID, I MOVE THE APPROVAL OF ITEM SIX THROUGH 37 AS PRESENTED.

SECOND, WE HAVE MOTION.

SECOND TONIGHT.

WE DO NOT HAVE ANY SPEAKERS, SO WE'LL GO RIGHT TO THE VOTE.

HAVE A MOTION A SECOND.

AND OPPOSED SAY, NAY.

MOTION CARRIES BY A VOTE OF EIGHT TO NOTHING.

COUNCIL MEMBER DEBOSKY IS FEELING, HE WAS HERE ALL EVENING, BUT RIGHT AFTER OUR EXEC SESSION, HE STARTED FEELING BAD.

AND SO HE'S DEPARTED.

HE MAY OR MAY NOT COME BACK, BUT RIGHT NOW HE WASN'T HERE FOR THAT VOTE.

SO ITEM 38.

[38. An Ordinance Amending Chapter 25 “Traffic” of the City of Grand Prairie Code of Ordinances to Add Section 25-59.5 to Require All Vehicles Stopped, Standing, or Parked on a Public Street to Display Valid and Current Registration, and Amend Subsection 25-60 to Authorize the Chief of Police to Designate Employees to Enforce On-Street Parking Regulations through the Removal of Illegally Parked or Abandoned Vehicles (Reviewed by the Public Safety, Health & Environment Committee on 03/06/2023)]

[00:15:06]

GOOD EVENING.

UH, TONIGHT WE HAVE A PROPOSED REVISION TO CHAPTER 25 OF OUR CITY'S CODE OF ORDINANCES.

THAT'S THE TRAFFIC CHAPTER.

UH, THERE'S TWO COMPONENTS TO THIS.

THE FIRST IS PRIMARILY TO REQUIRE VEHICLES THAT ARE PARKED ON A CITY STREET TO, UH, HAVE AND, AND DISPLAY CURRENT REGISTRATION FOR THAT VEHICLE.

THAT'S PRIMARILY INTENDED TO HELP US ADDRESS THE ISSUES THAT WE'VE BEEN HAVING WITH FAKE PAPER TAGS AND, AND OTHER FAKE TAGS AND UNREGISTERED VEHICLES ON THE ROADWAY.

UH, THERE'S PLENTY OF LAWS ON THE BOOKS TO ADDRESS VEHICLES WHEN THEY'RE DRIVING, BUT, UH, IT WAS KIND OF LACKING ON THE AREA OF VEHICLES PARKED ON THE ROADWAY.

UH, THE SECOND CHANGE IS MORE OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE.

IT'S, UH, JUST TO KIND OF LET OUR ORDINANCE KIND OF MIRROR STATE LAW AND THE POLICE CHIEF, UH, GIVE HIM THE AUTHORITY TO DESIGNATE CERTAIN CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES, UH, TO HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO REMOVE, UH, VEHICLES FROM THE ROADWAY.

COUNSEL, I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? IF NOT, UH, COUNCIL, UH, CHAIR, CLEMSON, WOULD YOU MIND MAKING THIS MOTION? THE CHAIR OF THE SAFETY COMMITTEE? YES, SIR.

I MOVE THE APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER 38.

WE HAVE MOTION IS SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER JOHNSON.

A ANY OPPOSED, SAY NAY.

MOTION CARRIES AGAIN, EIGHT TO NOTHING.

I'M JUST GONNA SAY THANK YOU, UNANIMOUS FROM NOW ON.

MORNING, UNLESS IT COMES BACK.

CINDY, WHILE SHE'S WALKING, WHICH REMINDS ME OF TWO BIG THINGS COMING UP.

ITEM 39,

[39. Ordinance Amending Chapter 13, Article XX “Automotive Related Business Regulations” of the Grand Prairie Code of Ordinances to Clarify Definitions and Operating Requirements, Update Grounds and Procedures for Revocation, and Make Other Minor Changes; Repealing all Ordinances in Conflict, Providing a Savings Clause, a Severability Clause, and a Penalty Clause; and Providing an Effective Date after Passage, Approval and Publication (Reviewed by Public Safety, Health & Environment Committee on 03/06/2023)]

WE HAVE THE BIG EVENT.

YOU CAN'T VOLUNTEER.

IT'S ALL FULL BIGGEST GROUP EVER.

SIXTEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY, SIXTEEN HUNDRED FIFTY VOLUNTEERING.

THAT'S TO CLEAN UP OUR TOWN.

AT LEAST HELP.

LOOK, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA GET EVERYTHING, BUT IF YOU DON'T TRY, YOU'LL NEVER GET ANYTHING.

SO, SO FORTUNATE THAT WE STARTED THIS PROGRAM AND WE'VE GOT 1,650 VOLUNTEERS WILLING TO COME OUT.

WAS STORING SALVAGE PARTS.

THERE, IT'S, AND I'LL SWITCH THE SCREENS.

IT'S NOT THAT IMPORTANT I DON'T THINK TO SHOW IT.

JUST TELL US WHAT IT IS.

OH, GREAT.

HERE WE GO.

ALL RIGHT.

UH, MAYOR COUNCIL TONIGHT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS UPDATES TO THE AUTO RELATED BUSINESS ORDINANCE.

UH, JUST A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY FOR YOU.

UH, CITY STAFF HAS BEEN INSPECTING SALVAGE YARDS AND OTHER AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESSES SINCE THE NINETIES.

BUT IN 2006, WE, UH, STARTED AN OFFICIAL A RB PROGRAM AND CREATED THIS BY ORDINANCE.

OUR GOALS WERE TO PROTECT HUMAN HEALTH IN THE ENVIRONMENT, IMPROVE CITY IMAGE THROUGH COMPLIANCE WITH CODE AND ENVIRONMENTAL ORDINANCES, AND MAINTAIN A FAIR BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT.

TODAY WE HAVE 630 ARBS.

20 OF THESE ARE SALVAGE YARDS.

WE'VE HAD SEVERAL ORDINANCE UPDATES OVER THE YEARS.

UM, PRIOR TO 2020, ARBS PAID AN ANNUAL INSPECTION FEE.

UM, IN 2020, WE CHANGED OUR ORDINANCE TO REQUIRE A PERMIT AND A PERMIT FEE TO REPLACE THE INSPECTION FEE.

TODAY WE BRING TO YOU A CHANGE SO THAT WE CAN REVOKE A PERMIT, SUSPEND, REVOKE A PERMIT, UH, FOR VIOLATIONS, UM, FOUR ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN A 12 MONTH PERIOD.

UM, PRIOR TO THIS, IT WAS, UH, SIX VIOLATIONS ON SIX SEPARATE OCCASIONS.

HOWEVER, UM, BECAUSE OF DUE PROCESS, OF COURSE, WE HAVE TO HAVE CONVICTIONS OR DEFERRED DISPOSITION, UH, WHICH MADE IT REALLY DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE IN A SIX MONTH PERIOD BECAUSE OF, UM, COURT DATES AND DELAYS AND WARRANTS AND OTHER ISSUES.

SO OF COURSE, IF WE'RE GONNA GO BACK INTO AN ORDINANCE, WE'RE GONNA MAKE SOME OTHER CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE MADE.

UH, SOME OF THESE INCLUDE, UH, DEFINITIONS SUCH AS, UH, MOTOR VEHICLES, THAT INCLUDES WATERCRAFT, MOTORCYCLES, OFF-ROAD VEHICLES, UPDATE TO PERSONNEL TITLES.

WE WANTED TO CLARIFY PARKING LOT SCREENING AND GARBAGE COLLECTION REQUIREMENTS.

UM, A LOT OF THESE ARE TIED TO THE UDC, UH, CLARIFICATION THAT THE STORAGE OF USED PARTS, WHICH ARE NOT NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR OF A VEHICLE, WHICH THE BUSINESS IS CURRENTLY CONTRACTED TO REPAIR, IS OPERATING A SALVAGE YARD AND DOCUMENT RETENTION REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO CATALYTIC CONVERTERS.

SO, JUST TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, UM, OF THE ISSUES WE HAVE WITH A SALVAGE PARTS.

UH, HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF A SHOP, WHICH WAS PERMITTED AS A REPAIR SHOP THAT

[00:20:01]

UM, SO IN THIS ORDINANCE, WE NEEDED TO MAKE SOME CHANGES.

AS I SAID, THE MAJOR CHANGE HERE IS FOUR MORE VIOLATIONS.

THIS ARTICLE WITHIN THE PROCEEDING 12 MONTHS, UH, WOULD GIVE US GROUNDS FOR REVOCATION.

UM, JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, PRIOR TO OUR A RB ORDINANCE IN 2006, IT WASN'T UNCOMMON TO SEE THESE KIND OF VIOLATIONS IN AN A RB SHOP, UM, JUST PAINTING OUTSIDE OF A BOOTH.

UM, TIRES, UH, CHEMICAL OUTSIDE STORAGE.

UM, THESE WERE REALLY COMMON.

BUT TODAY WE REALLY ONLY FIND A SELECT GROUP OF FACILITIES WITH ONGOING VIOLATIONS.

SO IN ORDER TO REALLY ADDRESS THOSE SELECT GROUPS, UM, WE NEEDED TO MAKE SURE WE HAD THE PROPER PROCEDURE IN PLACE.

UM, SO THAT THE PERMITING IS NOTIFIED, UM, SENT A LETTER, UM, REGARDING THE STATUS OF THEIR PERMIT.

THEY WOULD HAVE 10 DAYS TO APPEAL DURING THE, THEIR APPEAL.

THEY COULD STILL OPERATE, THEY WOULD SEND IN A WRITTEN REQUEST, AND THERE WOULD BE AN APPEAL HEARING BEFORE A DESIGNATED HEARING AUTHORITY, UH, WITHIN 30 DAYS.

SO IF THEY ARE NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH THE DESIGNATED HEARING AUTHORITIES' DECISION, THEY COULD ALWAYS FILE SUIT IN THE DISTRICT COURT.

SO THE GOAL OF THE REVOCATION PROCEDURES IS TO ADDRESS THOSE BUSINESSES THAT OPT TO PAY FINES AS A COST OF DOING BUSINESS RATHER THAN MAKING THE NECESSARY CHANGES.

UM, ONE OTHER THING THAT WAS CHANGED OR ADDED TO THIS ORDINANCE WAS CATALYTIC CONVERTER DOCUMENTATION.

AS YOU KNOW, THIS HAS BEEN A HOT TOPIC, UH, ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

UM, AND IN THIS ORDINANCE WE REQUIRE THAT THEY MAINTAIN DOCUMENTATION FOR TWO YEARS OF ANY REPAIRS, ANY PURCHASES, SALES OR REPLACEMENTS.

AND THIS SHOULD HELP ASSIST WITH THEFT PREVENTION AND INVESTIGATIONS, UH, TO ALLOW THE CITY TO REVIEW DOCUMENTS.

SO WITH THAT, I WILL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

DEPUTY MAYOR PRO, TIMM LOPEZ.

CINDY, JUST QUESTION, AS FAR AS IT, THIS WEEK GETS ADOPTED TONIGHT, WHEN DOES A ROLLOUT, LIKE 30 DAYS, 60 DAYS? OR WHEN DOES THIS? WELL, THIS ORDINANCE WILL BE, UM, AFFECTED, AFFECTED UPON ITS PASSAGE.

HOWEVER, WE WILL NOT BE PURSUING VIOLATION ONE IMMEDIATELY.

WE WILL SEND OUT TO ALL OF OUR AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESSES THE CHANGES, UM, THAT HAVE OCCURRED, UM, SO THAT THEY KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.

NOW FOR VIOLATIONS ON FOUR SEPARATE DATES, THOSE ARE USUALLY AT LEAST 30 DAYS, UM, IN BETWEEN, UH, INSPECTIONS.

SO THEY'LL HAVE MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO KNOW THAT, UH, REVOCATION IS A POSSIBILITY.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WHEN WE'RE ON VIOLATION NUMBER TWO, OKAY.

UM, AT TIMES, YOU KNOW, WE GET OPERATORS THAT COME IN AND IT'S REALLY THE LEASER THAT VIOLATES IT AND NOT THE OWNER, RIGHT? SOMETIMES THE OWNER DOESN'T COMMUNICATE WITH THE LEASER OR SUBLEASER AND SUBLEASER.

SO LET'S TRY TO REALLY EDUCATE THE OPERATORS, BOTH AT THEIR BUSINESS, BUT ALSO THE OWNER TOO.

THAT WAY THEY'RE BOTH HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND THEY BOTH RECEIVE THE SAME MESSAGE.

YOU KNOW, IF THEY'RE DOING ANY TYPE OF PROACTIVE AWARENESS, I WOULD JUST URGE THAT PART, RIGHT? AND THE WAY THE PERMIT APPLICATION IS, THEY, THE OWNER HAS TO SIGN, UM, THAT THEY UNDERSTAND, UH, THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THEIR OPERATORS, BUT THAT ALSO GIVES US ACCESS TO THEIR INFORMATION.

SO WE WILL ENSURE THAT THEY ARE MADE AWARE OF THESE CHANGES AND ANY ONGOING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY OF THEIR, UM, LEASES.

AND DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM THROUGH THAT UPGRADED REGISTRATION PROCESS A FEW YEARS AGO, THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WE DID IT, WAS TO, UH, EMPLOY ACCOUNTABILITY FROM THE ACTUAL PROPERTY OWNER.

AND THAT SEEMED TO WORK A LOT BETTER TOWARD COMPLIANCE.

SO, THANK YOU.

I THINK WE'RE GOOD, CINDY.

CLEANING UP THE NEIGHBORHOOD ESSENTIALLY WITH THESE RULES.

I ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

UH, I THINK YOU OUGHT TO MAKE IT SINCE YEAH.

YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR COMMENT THAT I JUST WANTED TO, UH, THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS AND UPDATING THESE ARBS OVER THE YEARS.

I, I KNOW, UM, A LOT OF 'EM ARE IN MY DISTRICT, AND IT'S A CONSTANT BATTLE.

UM, AND THE, THE REALITY OF IT IS ONCE THE GUYS, THE OPERATORS BEGIN TO KIND OF FOLLOW INTO THESE RULES, THEY, THEY'RE ACTUALLY THANKFUL FOR IT.

AND I'VE SEEN THAT AND, AND BEEN, YEAH, THANKED MYSELF FOR IT.

SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE GOVERNMENT OVERREACH.

UM, BUT, BUT WE'RE

[00:25:01]

AND, AND SO I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR DILIGENCE AND, AND, AND, UH, COMING UP WITH NEW IDEAS TO MAKE IT RIGHT.

THANKS, CINDY.

GO AHEAD AND MAKE THE MOTION.

GEORGIA CAN SECOND IT.

THANKS, MAYOR.

I MOVE THE APPROVAL OF ITEM 39 AS PRESENTED SECOND, BECAUSE Y'ALL HAVE MOST OF THEM IN YOUR TWO DISTRICTS.

SO THANK YOU ALL TO I, UH, THE MOTION IS SECOND.

ANY OPPOSED? AY NAY.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

ITEM 40.

[40. STP-22-11-0057 - Site Plan - Shady Grove Industrial at 1001 W Shady Grove Blvd (City Council District 1). Site Plan for an industrial development consisting of two warehouses on 5.799 acres. A tract of land in the John Spoon Survey, Abstract No. 1326, City of Grand Prairie, Dallas County, Texas, zoned PD-221 and within the SH-161 Corridor Overlay District, and addressed as 1001 W. Shady Grove Road (On February 27, 2023, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval with staff conditions by a vote of 7-0)]

THIS NEXT ITEM IS A SITE PLAN OVER AT 1001 WEST SHADY GROVE ROAD.

YOU CAN SEE THE, UH, PROPERTY IS OUTLINED IN RED ON THE SCREEN.

UH, THE PROPOSAL IS FOR TWO WAREHOUSE BUILDINGS TOTALING A LITTLE OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND SQUARE FEET.

IT'S ON ALMOST SIX ACRES, AND IT'S ZONED PD 2 21 FOR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

ON THE SCREEN, YOU CAN SEE THE SITE PLAN.

IT MEETS OUR DENSITY AND DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS.

ONE THING I WILL POINT OUT IS THAT THERE ARE, UH, STREET FRONTAGES ON ALL THREE, ON THREE OF THE FOUR SIDES OF THE SITE.

UH, SO THEY DO MEET MOST OF OUR LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS, AND THEY'RE PAYING INTO OUR LANDSCAPING, OR EXCUSE ME, OUR TREE MITIGATION FUND.

THEY ARE, UH, REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO THE WING WALL HEIGHT.

WE DO REQUIRE 25 FEET.

UH, THE STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT THEY DO A MINIMUM HEIGHT OF 10 FEET.

UH, THAT WITH THE RECESSION, UH, WOULD PROVIDE A 14 FOOT, UH, COVERAGE.

WE THINK THAT'S SUFFICIENT.

UH, THEY HAVE REVISED THEIR PLANS TO, TO MEET THAT RECOMMENDATION.

ON THE SCREEN, YOU CAN SEE THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS.

THEY DO MEET OUR DESIGN REQUIREMENTS IN APPENDIX X.

UH, THESE ARE THE, UH, ELEVATIONS.

UH, SO THEY'RE REQUESTING A LAND, UH, VARIANCE TO THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER.

WE REQUIRE 30 FEET ALONG ALL STREET FRONTAGES.

AS I MENTIONED, THREE OF THE FOUR, UH, SIDES DO HAVE STREET FRONTAGES, AND SO THAT LIMITS THE, THEIR ABILITY TO DESIGN.

UH, STAB DOESN'T HAVE AN OBJECTION TO THIS.

UM, THE SECOND VARIANCE IS TO THE WING WALL HEIGHT.

AGAIN, UH, WE REQUIRE 25 FEET.

UH, THEY WERE ORIGINALLY PROPOSING EIGHT.

THEY HAVE SINCE REVISED IT TO MEET STAFF'S.

RECOMMENDATION OF 10, THIS CONCLUDE, WELL, EXCUSE ME, UH, ON FEBRUARY 27TH, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL THE STAFF CONDITIONS BY A VOTE OF SEVEN TO ZERO.

UM, AND THE DRC RECOMMENDATIONS ARE THAT THEY PROVIDE THE REQUIRED SHRUBS AND THEN THEY INCREASE THE WING WALLS TO HEIGHT OF 10 FEET, WHICH THEY HAVE DONE.

THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

COUNCIL MEMBER ZANU.

THANK YOU FOR THIS PRESENTATION.

UM, MY QUESTION IS THIS DEVELOPMENT, IS IT ADJACENT TO THAT? UH, I THINK THERE'S A CEMETERY ADJACENT TO THIS DEVELOPMENT, IS THAT CORRECT? NOT, NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE.

IT'S JUST NORTH OF IT.

JUST NORTH, NORTH OF.

SO WHAT WOULD Y'ALL RECOMMEND, UM, I GUESS, UH, AS A STRUCTURE TO PROTECT THAT CEMETERY FROM THIS, UH, INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE? THE WALLS? IS THAT REC, UH, LIKE A SCREENING WALL RECOMMENDED? WHAT EXACTLY WOULD Y'ALL RECOMMEND FOR THAT? LET'S SEE.

PULL UP THE AERIAL.

I WOULD, I WOULD SUGGEST PROBABLY SOME, SOME, UH, MASON MYSTERY SCREENING WALL.

AT LEAST SIX, SIX FEET AT A MINIMUM.

UM, I SEE.

I'M TRYING TO SEE IF THERE'S ACTUALLY SPACE TO DO SO THIS, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS SPACE.

UM, SO IF THAT IS A REQUIREMENT THAT Y'ALL WOULD LIKE TO ADD, WE COULD, WE COULD DEFINITELY STIPULATE THAT.

SO, SIX FEET, UM, ON THIS PRESENTATION, I SAW SOMEWHERE THAT IT SAID THERE'S GONNA BE 10 FEET, UH, SCREENING WALLS.

IS THAT ON THE WEST OR EAST SIDE AND NOT THE NORTH SIDE? THAT'S, THAT'S SCREENING THE, THE, THE DOCKS.

YEAH, IF WE CAN, UH, I'LL LET, I BELIEVE THIS IS IN COUNCIL MEMBER, UH, CLEMSON'S DISTRICT TO ASK FOR AN AMENDMENT THAT ALLOWS FOR A, A SCREENING WALL TO PROTECT THAT CEMETERY.

UH, THAT'S NORTH OF IT.

COUNCIL MEMBER COPELAND.

SAVANNAH.

DID I SEE WHERE ARE THE DOCK DOORS AT? SO THE DOCK DOORS ARE INTERNAL.

UM, SO ALONG THEY'RE NOT FACING THE STREET.

THAT'S CORRECT.

THAT'S THEM IN THE MIDDLE RIGHT THERE.

WELL, KUDOS TO THE DESIGN FOR THAT.

COUNCIL MEMBER CLEMSON? YES.

BUT I DO AGREE THAT WE NEED TO HAVE SOME KIND OF SCREENING AND PROTECTION FOR THAT CEMETERY.

UH, JUST TO ADD TO COUNCILMAN I'S, UH, COMMENTS.

I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY INTERESTING IN OUR, UH, BACK INFORMATION HERE THAT IT SAYS IT'S ZONE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, AND IT SAYS CURRENT USE CEMETERY.

AND I, I DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANT,

[00:30:01]

WHAT WOULD THAT MEAN? THAT THE CURRENT USE IS CEMETERY FOR THAT PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY? AND HOW DO YOU CHANGE THAT? IT IS LIKELY SOMETHING THAT HAS HAPPENED OVER TIME.

UM, IT'S PROBABLY A CEMETERY FOR QUITE SOME TIME, BUT ZONING WAS PUT IN PLACE OVER THAT PROPERTY THAT MIGHT NOT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE A LONG TIME AGO.

UM, PROBABLY PRIOR TO 1 61 EVEN COMING THROUGH THERE.

I'M JUST CONCERNED SINCE IT SAID THE CURRENT USE WAS CEMETERY.

IF SOMEONE HAS BEEN BURIED THERE, THAT COULD GET VERY, UH, COMPLICATED AS WELL.

THE PROPERTY WOULD HAVE TO BE SOLD AND A DEVELOPER WOULD HAVE TO, UH, IT'S TOO MANY HURDLES.

THE PROPERTY THAT THIS SENT ON, ARE THERE ANY BURIAL SITES ON IT? NO.

THAT, THAT THERE'S NO BURIAL SITES ON THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY.

I'M, THAT'S WHY IT SAID THE CURRENT USE AS THE CURRENT USE AS CEMETERY JUST WAS CONFUSING, SO, OKAY.

THERE'S NO BURIAL.

THERE'S NO BURIAL THERE ON THIS PROPERTY RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE NOT COVERING UP SOMEBODY'S GRANDMOTHER.

THAT'S, THAT'S MY MISTAKE.

I WAS, THANK YOU.

, MAYBE AN AUNT, BUT NOT A GRANDMOTHER.

THOUGHT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE NORTH.

EVEN AUNTS CAN BE GRANDMOTHERS, BUT , BUT ALL, NOT ALL AUNTS ARE GRANDMOTHERS.

BUT, UH, NO, WE HAVE, UH, YES.

GO AHEAD AND DO SPEAKERS.

JESUS GUI.

GET THE TWO FOR ONE THIS EVENING.

WELL, GOOD EVENING.

UH, ARE YOU DON? I AM INDEED.

WE'LL GET RID OF BOTH OF Y'ALL AT ONCE.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR.

UH, JESUS GUO KIMLEY HORN, UH, WHERE THE APPLICANT KIND OF PRESENTING THIS APPLICATION.

UM, I HAD PREPARED A, JUST A SHORT PRESENTATION, ESSENTIALLY THE SAME PHOTOS YOU SAW WITH SOME ADDITIONAL, SOME QUESTIONS.

WELL, BUILDING, WE APPRECIATE YOU DOING THE DOCK DOORS WHERE YOU'RE DOING YEAH.

AND I'M SURE YOU WON'T MIND US ADDING THAT AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION IF WE MAKE A MOTION AND IT PASSES TO ADD THE SCREENING WALL ON THE NORTH SIDE BETWEEN Y'ALL AND THE CEMETERY.

SO I GUESS TO SPEAK TO THAT, UM, THE, THE NATURAL TOPOGRAPHY OF THE SITE DOES HAVE THE CEMETERY QUITE A BIT ELEVATED OVER OUR SITE TO BEGIN WITH.

THERE'S ALSO A 50 FOOT SETBACK THAT WE ARE RESPECTING THAT THE CEMETERY FOR PURPOSES OF THAT.

UM, AND SO IF, IF ANY ADDITIONAL, UH, CONSIDERATIONS ARE GIVEN, WE'LL WE'LL DEFINITELY TAKE THEM INTO ACCOUNT.

THOSE ARE NICE TO KNOW, BUT I, I BET THEY STILL MAY WANT TO DO IT, BUT THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW THAT.

GO CONTINUE.

UH, LIKE I SAID, UH, I HAD PRESENTED A, A POWERPOINT, UH, JUST BRING IT UP.

UH, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP DURING OUR, OUR P AND Z WAS, UH, IF, UH, THE DEVELOPER HAD ANY OTHER PROPERTIES, UH, IN THE METROPLEX.

AND DO YOU WE DO.

AGAIN, JUST RECENTLY COMPLETED.

SO, JUST BY THE WAY, I'M DON LARK WITH HOPEWELL DEVELOPMENT.

WE'RE BASED IN CALGARY, CANADA, IN NEIGHBORS TO THE NORTH.

UH, WE DO HAVE A, A FEW PROPERTIES THAT WE DO WELL.

WE FINISHED OUR FIRST DEVELOPMENT IN, UH, IN NORTH FORT WORTH, UH, JUST SOUTH OF THE SPEEDWAY, UH, A FEW MONTHS BACK.

AND IT'S PARTIALLY LEASED ALREADY.

UH, WE DO OWN ANOTHER PROPERTY IN, UH, IN GRAND PRAIRIE.

IT'S JUST ON THE WEST SIDE OF BELTLINE, NORTH OF, UH, WILDLIFE PARKWAY.

THE FRONTAGE IS IN IRVING, BUT THE BULK OF THE PROPERTIES IN GRAND PRAIRIE, WELL, YOU KNOW, SOME OF OUR AND WAREHOUSES LOOK BETTER THAN SOME OF OUR APARTMENTS IN TOWN.

THIS DOESN'T WORK BAD.

THANK YOU FOR, THIS IS OUR FORT WORTH PROJECT.

UH, WE'RE A, A BASED IN, IN CALGARY, CANADA, AS I MENTIONED, WE'VE BEEN ACTIVE FOR OVER 30 YEARS IN THAT MARKETPLACE.

CANADA'S A LIMITED SIZE MARKET, SO WE'VE BEEN ACTIVE IN THE US SINCE 2016 IN PHOENIX, LAS VEGAS, AND NOW IN THE DALLAS FORT WORTH AREA.

NORTH PROPERTY LINE AND JUST 50 FOOT INSET FROM THAT.

WELL, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO DOING MORE, AND CERTAINLY IN GRAND PRAIRIE.

AS I MENTIONED, WE'VE GOT THE OTHER PROPERTY JUST WEST OF BELTLINE.

UH, IT'S A PROJECT IN CHANDLER, ARIZONA THAT WE FINISHED LAST YEAR.

UM, THIS PROPERTY, UH, WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR MORE INFILL PROPERTIES IN THE DFW AREA.

UM, AS YOU CAN SEE WITH THIS, THE SHADY GROVE PROPERTY, UH, IT'S BEEN LONG VACANT.

UM, IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY THAT SPANS BANK'S BEEN OVERLOOKED, AND WITH SOME CREATIVE DESIGN, WE'VE ABLE TO FIND A PLAN THAT WORKS AND IT'S MARKETABLE AND IT'S, UH, IT'S EFFICIENT PLAN.

UH, COUNCILOR CLEMSON, TO YOUR COMMENT ABOUT THE, THE SCREENING OF THE CEMETERY, AS, AS MY COLLEAGUE HAS MENTIONED, IT IS QUITE A BIT HIGHER.

SO IF WE'RE OPEN TO EITHER, UH, FENCING, MAYBE IT MAY KIND OF STAND OUT OR WE'RE MORE LANDSCAPING, IF THAT'S HELPFUL.

UM, ONE OF THE TWO, AND WE'D BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH STAFF TO FIND SOMETHING.

SO RIGHT NOW, FROM YOUR WALL TO THE CEMETERY, WHERE'S THE 50 FOOT SETBACK? SO THERE IS NO CURRENTLY NO WALL.

I THINK THERE'S A, THERE'S PROBABLY A FENCE ON LIKE, PROBABLY JUST A, I THINK AN IRON LOT IRON FENCE.

THE 50 FOOT SETBACK IS BETWEEN YOUR PROPERTY LINE AND YOUR BUILDING.

SO IT'S BETWEEN THE, UH,

[00:35:01]

THERE'S A JUST SORT OF A VACANT LANDSCAPE AREA BEFORE THE PARKING LOT STARTS.

UH, FURTHER SOUTH OF IT.

YEAH, IT DOES.

SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT A FENCE SIX FOOT TALL OR 20 FOOT TALL ISN'T GOING TO BLOCK THE VIEW FROM THE CEMETERY? I HAVEN'T BEEN ON YOUR PROPERTY.

I'M NOT CHALLENGING YOU.

I'M JUST TRYING TO CLARIFY.

AND I'D WANT TO CONFIRM THE ELEVATION, BUT THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF ELEVATION CHANGE, UH, THROUGHOUT THE SITE.

AND I WILL SAY THAT THE CEMETERIES MORE THAN LIKELY MAYBE 10 FEET HIGHER THAN, THAN OFF COUNCIL MEETINGS ON YOU.

SO WAS YOUR GOAL JUST TO MARK SEPARATION OR WAS YOUR GOAL TO LIMIT SITE? BECAUSE I, I AGREE WITH YOU, BUT IF WE PUT A SIX FOOT FENCE UP AND THE OTHER PROPERTY STILL 20 FOOT ABOVE, IT DOESN'T DO ANY GOOD.

WHAT, WHAT WAS YOUR INTENTIONS? YEAH, I THINK, UM, THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION.

IT WAS A BIT OF BOTH.

I KNOW IT, I HAVEN'T BEEN ON THE PROPERTY, SO I COULDN'T TELL YOU, UM, WHAT THE ELEVATION IS.

EVEN WITH A 10 FOOT OR 15 FOOT WALL, IT MAY NOT PREVENT THE SITE OF THE, UH, INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE TO THE PEOPLE AT THE CEMETERY, BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE AT THE BARE MINIMUM, UH, 10 FOOT WALL WILL AT LEAST DEMARCATE THAT THIS IS WHERE THE CEMETERY IS.

WELL, THIS IS WHERE Y'ALL'S INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE ENDS.

IT IS WHERE THE CEMETERY BEGINS.

JUST TO GIVE THOSE PEOPLE THAT YEAH.

SOMETHING TO WALL TO SHOW THE LINE OF OWNERSHIP AND EXACTLY.

I'M SURE WE COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT, THAT WILL BE SATISFACTORY.

GOOD QUESTION, JEFF.

BUT WOULD Y'ALL BE WILLING TODAY TO COMMIT TO A I'M COME BACK.

YOU GOT JEFF SCREEN WALK? NO PROBLEM.

I THINK, I THINK WE'RE OPEN TO WHATEVER WORKS.

I THINK YOU'LL FIND THAT 10 FEET IS GONNA BE QUITE TALL.

THE CEMETERY IS ACTUALLY QUITE A BIT HIGHER.

OUR PROPERTY, I THINK WAS HISTORICALLY EXCAVATED FOR PROBABLY FOR, FOR FILL MATERIAL.

SO IT'S ACTUALLY, WE'RE QUITE A BIT LOWER THAN THE CEMETERY IS.

AND THE, THE TOP OF THE BUILDINGS, I'M SURE YOU COULD SEE INTO THIS CEMETERY, BUT WHATEVER WORKS WE'RE OPEN.

AND RASHAD JUST RECOMMENDED A SIX FOOT JUST TO GIVE IT A RIGHT.

JUST, JUST, IT LOOKS GOOD.

A SIX FOOT DOES LOOK BETTER.

SIX FOOT IS A STANDARD HEIGHT.

SO I WAS JUST KEEPING IN LINE WITH THAT.

UM, AND I'M LOOKING AT THEIR PLANS AND IT SHOWS THERE'S AN EXISTING CHAIN LINK FENCE ALONG THAT PROPERTY LINE.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF THEY COULD WORK WITH THE CEMETERY AND REPLACE THAT CHAIN LINK.

POSSIBLY THAT WOULD BE A JOINT THING THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO.

WE HAVE TO KEEP IT RIGHT ON THE PROPERTY LINE OR IF IT'S, IF IT'S EASIER TO JUST LEAVE THAT CHAIN LINK FENCE IN PLACE AND HAVE THE FENCE INSET INTO OUR PROPERTY BY A FOOT OR WHATEVER.

MAKES SENSE.

NO PROBLEM.

YEAH, I, I'M COMFORTABLE AND I'LL LET, I'LL DEFER TO COUNCIL MEMBER CLEMSON, UH, WITH A SIX FOOT FENCE.

I JUST WANT SOMETHING THERE TO, UH, LET US KNOW WHERE THE PROPERTY STARTS AND WHERE IT ENDS.

COUNCIL MEMBER COPELAND, YOU WEREN'T QUITE FINISHED.

YOU'RE OKAY.

COUNCIL MEMBER JOHNSON.

I GUESS I NEED CLARIFICATION ON, ARE WE REQUIRE THEM TO PUT A FENCE TO MARK THE PROPERTY LINE IN WHICH THERE'S A CHAINLINK FENCE THERE.

NOW WE MAY BE.

I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY WILL WE, WHAT'S, WHAT ARE WE DOING BESIDES, THIS IS THE DMZ, THIS IS THE LINE RIGHT HERE.

WHAT'S THE PURPOSE FOR ME VOTING FOR THEM TO DO THAT? I NEED TO UNDER, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IF THERE'S, THE LINE IS ALREADY MORPHED, THERE'S ALREADY A OFFENSE, THERE IS SEPARATED.

SO WHY, WHY WOULD YOU PROPOSE A STONE IN VERSUS CHAIN LINK? UM, PERSONALLY FOR ME, UH, I THINK A STONE WOULD LOOK BETTER FOR THE LOCATION IF YOU'RE GONNA BUILD.

I THINK IF YOU'RE GONNA BUILD RIGHT NOW, THERE'S NOTHING THERE.

SO THE CHAIN LINK FENCE IS FINE.

THERE'S NOTHING THERE.

IF YOU'RE GONNA BUILD, BUILD SOMETHING THERE, PUT UP A, UH, A STONE, A STONE WALL, AND I JUST BELIEVE THAT IT WILL, IT WILL GO BETTER WITH THE PROPERTY.

SO WHY WON'T WE ASK THE PROPERTY OWNER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE TO TAKE PART OF THAT? BECAUSE SOMEBODY'S PUT A FENCE THERE.

I I, I'LL TELL YOU TWO REASONS.

ONE, IT'S A CEMETERY THAT HAS PEOPLE THAT LIVED IN GRAND PRAIRIE, LIVED IN THE SHADY GROVE AREA THAT HAVE DIED AND BURIED THEIR LOVED ONES THERE.

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT'S THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE TO FOOT THE BILL ON THAT END.

NOT THEM.

IT'S, IT'S THE CEMETERY.

IT'S, IT'S IN A TRUST.

THE TRUST HAS TO PAY FOR THAT.

BUT STILL, THEY'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE THEY'RE COMING IN.

IT'S JUST A SHOW.

IT IS A SHOW OF GOOD FAITH, THAT'S ALL.

YOU MAY NOT VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENT SO THAT THAT'S OKAY.

HE JUST WANT, THEY, THEY FEEL LIKE, WE'LL SEE WHAT THE MOTION IS.

I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE OH.

BUT TO ME IT IS A SHOW OF GOOD FAITH.

THAT'S ALL IT IS.

IT'S NOT GONNA COST THEM MUCH.

UH, COUNCIL MEMBER CLEMSON, AND WE HAVE SOME MORE SPEAKERS.

GO AHEAD AND I'LL WRAP IT UP.

CARDS.

LET'S GO WITH THE CARDS, THEN WE'LL FINISH UP.

OKAY, WE'RE DONE.

WE'RE DONE.

COUNCIL MEMBER CLEMSON.

THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER, UH, YOU'RE IT RIGHT NOW.

A LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE NEXT TO A CEMETERY.

UM, YOU KNOW, UM, SINCE IT IS A CEMETERY, THAT MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT UNIQUE.

WE DON'T ALWAYS GET, UH,

[00:40:01]

AND, UM, I TEND TO BELIEVE THAT JUST OUTTA RESPECT FOR THOSE WHO ARE BURIED THERE AND THEIR FAMILIES, THAT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A NICE, UM, SOME SORT OF SCREENING WALL.

SIX FEET IS FINE.

I JUST THINK OUT OF RESPECT TO THEM THAT THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.

THAT'S MY, DON'T MAKE A MOTION YET.

THAT'S MY, I'VE GOT SOME OTHER LIGHTS.

COUNCIL MEMBER CO COPELAND.

SO WHAT WE TRIED TO AVOID IN OUR CITY IS THAT ONE FOOT ZONE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IN BETWEEN THEIR FENCE AND YOURS.

YOU'RE ABOUT TO BEAR THE COST OF THIS FENCE.

SO I WANT IT TO BE ON YOUR PROPERTY LINE.

BUT, BUT IF COUNCIL MEMBER CLEMSON IS, IS OPEN TO THE AMENDMENT, I WOULD PROPOSE THAT THEY BUILD THE SIX FOOT FENCE ON THEIR PROPERTY LINE.

BUT THAT THE CITY DOES ALL THAT WE CAN DO TO ENCOURAGE THE CEMETERY TO REMOVE THEIR EXISTING CHAIN LINK FENCE, JUST SO WE DON'T HAVE THAT ONE FOOT SPACE IN BETWEEN, WHICH IS ACTUALLY BENEFICIARY TO THE CEMETERY.

'CAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THESE GENTLEMAN'S PROPERTY.

AND IT'S GONNA BE TOUGH TO MOW AND MAINTAIN.

SO, UH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL THE CITY COULD DO, BUT HOPEFULLY WE COULD CONTACT THE OWNERSHIP OF THE CEMETERY AND, AND, AND REQUEST, REQUEST THEIR PERMISSION TO REMOVE IT.

SO NOW, I MEAN, ONE GOOD BULLDOZER TAKES DOWN A, A CHAIN LINK FENCE.

IT'S NOT THAT BIG OF FENCE, BUT I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT YOU GUYS ARE AWARE THAT WE'RE ALSO, IF, IF THEY'RE FRIENDLY TO IT, THE REMOVAL OF THE EXISTING CHAIN LINK FENCE AND THEN YOU PLACING IN YOUR SIX FOOT STONE STRUCTURE ON YOUR PROPERTY LINE FOR YOU TO MAINTAIN.

DOES THAT SEEM FAIR AND REASONABLE? YES.

THANKS SIR.

WE REALLY CAN'T MAKE THAT PART OF THE MOTION, BUT WE CAN, WE, WE COULD POTENTIALLY, AS PART OF YOUR MOTION, SAY, HAVE THE DEVELOPER WORK WITH THE NEIGHBORING OWNER TO COME TO INSTEAD OF MAKING IT A REQUIREMENT.

'CAUSE THE, IF THEY DON'T, AND WE'LL DEF CALL US IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

COUNCIL MEMBER JOHNSON.

LAST QUESTION.

STAFF, THERE'S THE ELEVATION.

THE SAID THERE'S AN ELEVATION BETWEEN THE CEMETERY AND THEIR PROPERTY.

DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? IF WE PUT A SIX FOOT FENCE THERE, SCREEN WALL, AND I WENT TO GO SEE MY LOVED ONES AT THE CEMETERY, WOULD I BE SCREENED THAT NO ONE CAN SEE ME? WOULD THEY STILL BE TO SEE ME WALKING AROUND ON THE CEMETERY PROPERTY? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IN HEIGHT? COUNCIL MEMBER JOHNSON, WE DID A PRELIMINARY LOOK AT THE SURVEY LINES AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE WAREHOUSE PROPERTY IS ACTUALLY LOWER.

SO WE BELIEVE THAT PRELIMINARILY, UH, THE SIX FOOT FENCE WILL BE SUFFICIENT BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA BE GOING DOWNHILL FROM THE CEMETERY.

SAY THAT AGAIN? THE, THE, THE WAREHOUSE SITE IS ACTUALLY LOWER.

A PRELIMINARY LOOK AT THE SURVEY LINE SO THEY CAN HAVE A, IF I'M HEARING YOU CORRECTLY, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A FENCE DOWN AT THE BOTTOM.

NO SIR.

THE FENCE WILL BE AT THE TOP OF THE HILL.

THE WAREHOUSE ITSELF WILL BE LOWER.

THOSE WAS THE 30 FOOT SETBACK.

SO THEY WILL SCREEN IT.

I'M JUST TRYING TO WRAP MY UNDERSTANDING.

SOUNDS LIKE A WINNER.

I'M READY FOR A MOTION.

UH, MAYOR.

MAYOR, BEFORE WE MAKE THAT MOTION.

UH, IF THERE'S ANY WAY WE CAN PUT SOME LEVEL OF STAFF, THERE IS A, THERE IS A SETBACK THAT MAYOR OR MAY NOT PREVENT THIS FENCE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

UH, SO IT'S, I THINK IT'S DEFINITELY WORTH MENTIONING AND OKAY.

IF IF THERE'S, IF YOU CAN'T PUT A FENCE THERE, THEY'RE NOT GONNA GIVE YOU A PERMIT TO PUT THE FENCE THERE.

CORRECT? UM, THEY WOULDN'T JUST, THEY WOULDN'T, WHAT WOULD PREVENT THEM FROM PUTTING A FENCE THERE? WELL, I, I ASSUME BASED ON THE CHANGE IN ELEVATION WHERE THE CHAIN LINK FENCE IS, THAT'S WHERE THIS FENCE OR WALL WILL NEED TO GO.

UM, BASED ON WHAT THEY'RE SAYING, IT'S GONNA BE A SLOPE.

YOU, IT WOULD PROBABLY COST A LITTLE BIT MORE TO PUT IT ON A SLOPE.

THEY WOULD HAVE TO WAIT TO THAT ELEVATION.

IT WOULDN'T PREVENT IT.

IT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY PREVENT IT.

WHAT WOULD PREVENT THEM FROM PUTTING A FENCE THERE? A WALL THERE.

ANYTHING CAN BE ENGINEERED.

THAT'S WHAT I'M KNOWING.

SO YES, WHAT YOU'RE ASKING IS IN CASE IT COSTS MORE, WE NOT REQUIRED NO, I, I I WHAT WHAT HE'S WORRIED ABOUT BUILDING A FENCE INSIDE THE SETBACK.

THERE'S, BECAUSE THE CITY WOULD REJECT THAT, SO WELL, WE, WE WON'T WE'LL GIVE YOU A PERMIT.

THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO BUILD THAT FENCE RIGHT THERE.

AND WE CAN'T REJECT IT.

SO YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GIVE HIM A PERMIT, A FOOT INSIDE HIS PROPERTY LINE IF, OR RIGHT ON THE PROPERTY LINE COUNSEL HAS APPROVED, IF Y'ALL APPROVE THIS WITH THE FENCE LOCATED WHEREVER,

[00:45:01]

DOES THAT CLARIFY? YES.

WE'LL MAKE IT HAPPEN.

WE'RE NOT GONNA IN THEIR PROPERTY.

ON THEIR PROPERTY.

AS LONG AS YOU, IT'S ON YOUR PROPERTY LINE.

YOU DO NOT HAVE, I KNOW THIS FROM BUILDING MY OWN FENCE.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PUT YOUR FENCE UP ON YOUR PROPERTY.

YOU HAVE TO PUT IT ON YOUR PROPERTY, BUT NOT ON YOUR PROPERTY LINE.

YOU CAN PUT IT 10 FEET INSIDE YOUR PROPERTY LINE.

YOU JUST GOTTA GO AROUND TO MOW THAT OTHER SIDE OF 10 FEET.

SO I THINK SHE'S GONNA MAKE A MOTION REQUIRING YOU TO PUT A FENCE THERE AS CLOSE TO THE PROPERTY LINE AS THE STAFF WILL ALLOW YOU INSIDE THE INSIDE AS, AS CLOSE TO THE PROPERTY LINE AS STAFF WILL ALLOW YOU OR, OR ON THE PROPERTY LINE IF THE CEMETERY IS, IS, IS, IS WILLING TO, TO HAVE THAT SPLIT.

AND I THINK THAT'S GONNA BE THE MOTION AND WE'LL SEE IF IT PASSES.

ARE Y'ALL ACCEPTABLE TO THAT? STAFF? STAFF? IS THAT REASONABLE? YES, SIR.

COUNCIL MEMBER.

CLEMSON, ARE YOU READY? I'M READY.

EXCEPT I WANT TO ASK, ADD ANOTHER SCENARIO HERE.

IF, UM, AND WE'VE ALL TALKED ABOUT TAKING DOWN THE OTHER FENCE AND A SCREENING WALL INSTEAD, BUT WHAT IF THE CEMETERY OWNERS SAY, WE LIKE OUR, UH, CHAIN LINK FENCE HERE.

WE'D LIKE TO KEEP THAT HERE.

MY GRANDFATHER INSTALLED THAT AND THAT'S SOMETHING SPECIAL TO ME.

I'M JUST SAYING, CAN WE LEAVE SOME KIND OF, UM, WIGGLING ROOM THERE THAT, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER CLEM, IF YOU WANNA MAKE IN YOUR MOTION THAT IF THE CEMETERY DOESN'T WANT A SCREENING FENCE THERE, THE, THAT THEY CHAIN LINK STAYS, THAT CAN BE PART OF YOUR MOTION.

THANK YOU SIR.

VERY GOOD.

YOU JUST GO TALK TO THE THEM.

SAY, DON'T Y'ALL WANT THAT CHAIN LINK FENCE TO STAY ? IT SURE IS A PRETTY CHAIN LINK FENCE.

NOW PAINT THAT FIT FOR YOU.

I'LL, BUT I UNDERSTAND WHERE GEORGIA'S COMING FROM.

I'M READY FOR A MOTION AND SEE THAT MAY, THAT KIND OF MOTION MAY EVEN GET COURT TO VOTE FOR IT.

SO WE'LL SEE.

I'D LIKE TO MOVE THE APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER 40 WITH CONDITIONS THAT WERE PRESENTED ALREADY.

AND IN ADDITION, THE CONSIDERATION OF A SIX FOOT SCREENING WALL, UH, TO BE PUT ALONG THERE.

UH, UNLESS, UNLESS THERE IS AN OBJECTION FROM THE CEMETERY OWNERS.

AND, UM, IS THAT GOOD STAFF? YES.

YOU KNOW WHAT WE MEAN? YES.

ANY OPPOSED? SAY NAY.

NAY.

DID WE GET JUST ONE DAY? SIX, TWO.

WHO ELSE IS THE NAY? COLE.

[41. STP-22-12-0062 – Site Plan – Lapiz Flats at 1410 Duncan Perry (City Council District 1). Site Plan for 69 age restricted multi-family units on 2.391 acres. Lots 1-3, Block A, Wash N Shop Addition, City of Grand Prairie, Tarrant County, Texas, zoned PD-427, within the IH 30 Corridor Overlay District, and addressed as 1410 Duncan Perry Road (On February 27, 2023, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval by a vote of 7-0)]

THAT WAS GOOD.

THANKS MUCH.

ITEM NUMBER 41 IS A SITE PLAN FOR LAPIS FLATS.

UH, THE ZONING CHANGE, UH, FOR THIS CAME, UH, THROUGH FAIRLY RECENTLY.

UH, THIS IS A SITE PLAN FOR 69 AGE RESTRICTED MULTIFAMILY UNITS ON 2.3 ACRES.

IT'S LOCATED NORTHEAST OF I 30 IN DUNCAN PERRY INTERSECTION.

UH, ON THE SCREEN YOU CAN SEE THE SITE PLAN MEETS OUR DENSITY AND DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND OUR LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING REQUIREMENTS AS WELL.

THESE ARE THE PROPOSED BUILDING ELEVATIONS AND THE APPLICANT'S NOT REQUESTING ANY VARIANCES.

ON FEBRUARY 27TH, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL BY A VOTE OF SEVEN TO ZERO AND THE DRC RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AS WELL.

YOU CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

UH, I DON'T SEE COLE, YOUR MIC'S ON.

YOU WANNA TURN YOUR MIC ON? YES.

UH, IS THE APPLICANT HERE? APPLICANT HERE DON'T HAVE TO BE, BUT KIND OF NICE IF THEY WERE.

THERE'S NO OPPOSITION AS A SITE PLAN.

ARE THEY ASKING FOR ANY DEVIATIONS? NO, SIR.

UM, COUNSEL, SOMETIMES WE'VE TABLED THINGS WHEN THERE'S AN APPLICANT NOT HERE.

I I DON'T KNOW WHY WE WOULD TABLE IT.

IT'S A, IT'S A SITE PLAN.

THEY'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY DEVIATIONS.

UH, EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T LIKE MULTIFAMILY, THEY ALREADY HAVE THE ZONING.

THERE'S, I'D GO AHEAD AND KICK, I'D JUST GO AHEAD WITH IT.

MAYOR, THE ONLY, UH, CONCERN I HAVE ABOUT THAT,

[00:50:01]

LET ME TURN THAT ON.

THE, ON THE MAIN CONCERN I HAVE ABOUT THAT AS, UM, THIS SOUTH END BACKS UP TO I 30.

IT'S GONNA BE HIGHLY VISIBLE AND THAT, THAT WAS GONNA BE THE QUESTION THAT I WAS GOING TO ASK AS FAR AS FROM I 30, WHAT WOULD BE THE SCREENING AND SUCH AS THAT? WELL, LET'S JUST TABLE IT AND GET 'EM HERE NEXT TIME.

MOVE THE TABLE.

I MOVE TO TABLE ITEM NUMBER 41.

NUMBER 42 IS A ZONING CHANGE AT 6 38 CHURCH STREET.

I ANY OPPOSED? SAY NAY.

NAY.

MOTION CARRIES SEVEN TO ONE.

GET THE APPLICANT HERE IF THEY WANT IT.

ALRIGHT, ITEM

[42. ZON-23-01-0006 - Zoning Change/Concept Plan - Our House Salon (City Council District 5). Amendment to Planned Development District No. 324 to add Grooming & Hygiene Salon as an allowable use. Lot 11 and a portion of Lot 12, Block 209, Dalworth Park, City of Grand Prairie, Dallas County, Texas, zoned PD-324, and addressed as 638 Church Street (On February 27, 2023, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval by a vote of 7-1)]

YOU CAN SEE THE OUTLINE OF THE PROPERTY IN RED ON THE SCREEN.

UH, THE PURPOSE OF THIS REQUEST IS TO AMEND THE EXISTING PLAN DEVELOPMENT 3 24 TO ADD GROOMING AND HYGIENE SALON AS AN ALLOWABLE USE.

THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP IS DESIGNATED AS LOAD DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

ON THE SCREEN YOU CAN SEE THE CURRENT ZONING.

IT IS SURROUNDED BY SINGLE FAMILY FOUR ZONING AND RESIDENTIAL USE.

UH, THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, AS I MENTIONED, IS LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

THE, UH, EXISTING ZONING IS FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 3 24 FOR NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES.

SO THE CURRENT ZONING IS FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL USES.

UH, THESE USES INCLUDE PERFORMING ARTS, KARATE, CIVIC CLUB, CHURCH, ARTIST, STUDIO, SOCIAL SERVICES.

UH, BUT IT DOES NOT ALLOW THAT GROOMING AND HYGIENE SALON.

SO, BUT IT INCLUDES ALL THAT STUFF THERE.

THAT'S CORRECT.

UM, SO THIS REQUEST IS INITIATED BY SOMEONE WANTING TO COME IN AND OPEN A GROOMING HI HYGIENE SALON.

UH, STAFF DID RECEIVE SOME OPPOSITION AND SOME SUPPORT.

A MAP IS SHOWN ON THE SCREEN.

THE LIGHT BLUE INDICATES THE PROPERTIES THAT SUBMITTED SUPPORT FOR THIS ITEM.

THE DARK BLUE IS THE WRITTEN OPPOSITION THAT WE RECEIVED ON FEBRUARY 27TH.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL BY A VOTE OF SEVEN TO ONE.

THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE IS UNABLE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST SINCE IT DOES NOT MATCH THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

HOWEVER, WE DO NOTE THAT THE EXISTING ZONING DOES ALLOW FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL USES.

UH, THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

COLE, I HAVE A QUESTION.

IS THIS JUST IN AN AREA OF TRANSITION WHERE THE HOMES ARE BECOMING BUSINESSES? UM, MAYOR, I APPRECIATE THE QUESTION.

I DON'T BELIEVE SO.

UM, THAT WAS ZONED THAT WAY.

I WANNA SAY IN 2011.

OH, WHEN, UH, THE CHIROPRACTOR BOUGHT IT REMODELED, IT LOOKS GREAT.

YOU OPERATED THERE FOR 10 YEARS AND I THINK NOW HE'S BECOMING THE LANDLORD.

UM, WHICH, WHICH I SPOKE WITH HIM AND I TOLD HIM DIRECTLY THAT I, THAT'D BE TOUGH FOR ME TO SUPPORT.

AND I ALSO LIVE, I'M KIND OF CURIOUS IF I LIVE WITHIN THE 300 FEET.

I WASN'T NOTIFIED, SO PROBABLY NOT, BUT I'M VERY CLOSE.

IF YOU WERE NOTIFIED, WE'D KICK YOU OUTTA HERE NOW.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

I WAS NOT NOTIFIED.

UM, I I'M DEFINITELY TORN AS IT LOOKS LIKE WE, WELL, LET'S HEAR, LET'S HEAR FROM SOME THAT ARE SPEAKERS AND THEN WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU.

I WAS JUST KIND OF CURIOUS ABOUT THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AND EVERYTHING.

YOU GO TO DALWORTH, WHICH IS TWO STREETS OVER, THERE'S A LOT, LOT OF IT'S RESIDENTIAL TRANSITIONING, BUT THIS IS, I DO THINK THAT THIS IS THREE STREETS THAT ARE ALL RESIDENTIAL AND OKAY.

AND THAT'S PROBABLY WHY THOSE OPPOSITION FROM THOSE NEIGHBORS.

UM, MEGAN, PATRICK DOWNEY.

HI, PATRICK.

HEY, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR JENSEN.

I'M PATRICK DOWNEY.

I'M AT 6 38 WEST CHURCH STREET.

I LIVE 300 FEET FROM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND I'VE LIVED THERE FOR OVER 25 YEARS.

UH, I HOPE THE INFORMATION THAT I GIVE YOU TONIGHT IS NOT REDUNDANT OR YOU, YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE THAT INFORMATION.

BUT THIS PROPOSAL TONIGHT IS FOR, UH, CURRENT ZONING, WHICH WILL REMAIN THE SAME.

WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR A ZONING CHANGE.

IT'S CURRENTLY NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES PD 3 24.

AND THE ONLY QUESTION HERE IS TO ADD A USE THAT IS NOT CURRENTLY ADDED OR NOT CURRENTLY ALLOWED.

AND THAT WOULD BE A HAIR SALON.

MS. ASHLEY MUMEY FISHER IS THE AGENT ON THIS AND SHE'S THE ONE THAT'S MAKING THE REQUEST.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM HER FIRST OR WE'LL HEAR FROM YOU.

JUST KEEP GOING.

UH, HE IS OUR REPRESENTATIVE FOR DISTRICT FIVE.

UH, AS YOU KNOW, UH, FEBRUARY 17TH, 2013, P AND Z VOTED SEVEN TO ONE TO ALLOW THE THE SALON TO EXIST.

THE MAJORITY OF THE NEIGHBORS FEEL THE SAME WAY.

AND, UH, IT INDICATES THAT, UH, THEY INDICATED THAT NOT ONLY WOULD THEY GET THEIR HAIR CUT THERE, BUT THEY BELIEVE A HAIR SALON IS ENTIRELY COMPATIBLE WITH NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES AND WOULD ENHANCE AND INCREASE THE WALKABILITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE GOALS FOR, UH, THE DOWNTOWN AREA.

I HAD SPOKE, UH, SPOKEN WITH MAYOR PRO TEM COLE HUMPHREYS AS HE INDICATED.

AND,

[00:55:01]

HE ENCOURAGED US TO POLL THE NEIGHBORS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WERE, WHICH WERE IN LINE SIGHT OF THE PROPERTY, AND WE FOLLOWED HIS ADVICE.

I'M ENCOURAGED TO REPORT TO THE COUNCIL TONIGHT THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS OVERWHELMINGLY IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSED SALON WITH A 20 TO ONE APPROVAL RATE IN THE LEGAL NOTIFICATION AREA.

YOU HAVE COPIES OF THE SIGNATURES.

WE ALSO HAVE EVEN MORE SIGNATURES BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE SIGNED THE PETITION AFTER THE WEDNESDAY DEADLINE.

UM, COUNCILMAN HUMPHREYS INDICATED IN WRITING THAT WHILE HE MIGHT HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWS, UH, THE MAJORITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AGAIN, 20 TO ONE, ARE IN FAVOR AND WOULD REPRESENT THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN THIS.

BUT HE SAID HE WOULD REPRESENT THE MA THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN THIS MATTER.

UH, AND I THANK HIM FOR HIS SERVICE IN RELATION TO THIS PROJECT.

AS RECENTLY AS 2013, UH, A, A PRESENTATION WAS MADE TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND I QUOTE, TO CREATE INITIATIVES TO SUPPORT EXISTING AND ASPIRING SMALL MINORITY WOMEN BUSINESS OWNERS.

THIS IS EXACTLY THE TYPE OF ASPIRING SMALL BUSINESS OWNER THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS TONIGHT.

THE HISTORY ON THE PROPERTY IS, IT'S AT THE CORNER OF COURSE, OF NORTHWEST SEVENTH AND CHURCH ONLY THREE BLOCKS FROM HERE.

IT'S BEEN A BUSINESS SINCE 1972 THAT COMPRISES OVER 50 YEARS OF NEIGHBORHOOD FOCUSED BUSINESS SERVICE LIVING IN HARMONY WITH THE SURROUNDING SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS.

IT HAS BEEN, AND WITH THE PASSAGE OF THIS AMENDMENT, WILL CONTINUE TO BE A LOW DENSITY IMPACT BUSINESS WITH MINIMAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT HAS OFF STREET PARKING IN THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY.

YOU ALSO KNOW THAT THERE'S ABOUT 70 DIFFERENT USES THAT A PD CAN HAVE, DIFFERENT TYPES OF BUSINESSES THAT THEY CAN HAVE.

AND THAT LIST IS ALWAYS EVOLVING.

IN DECEMBER, 2020, UH, DECEMBER OF 2022, YOU ADDED TWO ADDITIONAL BUSINESSES, A GAMING ARCADE AND A DEDICATED RESTAURANT WITH A DEDICATED THEME.

BUT NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN AT CITY HALL WHY A HAIR SALON IS NOT ON NEIGHBORHOOD LIST.

SO, UH, OTHER EXAMPLES OF USES FOR NEIGHBORHOODS WHICH WOULD BE ALLOWED WOULD BE LIKE A DOG TRAINING FACILITY, A SEWAGE STATION, A PEST CONTROL, OR EXTERMINATOR SERVICE.

BY COMPARISON, THE AFOREMENTIONED IS, SURELY THE COUNCIL WOULD AGREE, IS MUCH MORE NEIGHBORHOOD FRIENDLY.

THE PRO PROPOSAL DOES REQUIRE YOUR ACTION.

HOWEVER, I NEED TO, UH, WE WOULD NEED TO HAVE A, A MOTION TO ADD IN THE CHECK MARK IN THE GROOMING AND HYGIENE BOX, THE LIST OF NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES TO PERMIT A BEAUTY SALON.

MY WIFE AND I HAVE ALWAYS SUPPORTED INITIATIVES WITH RE WITH, UH, SMALL BUSINESSES SIMILAR TO THE, UH, SMALL BUSINESS CONFERENCE, WHICH WAS HELD AT THE EPIC CENTER JUST THREE WEEKS AGO.

AND MANY OF THE SIGNATORIES TO THIS PETITION ARE THEMSELVES MINORITIES, AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD UTILIZE THIS SERVICE.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, ASHLEY, UH, FISHER WANTS TO BE IN THIS LOCATION AND HER NEIGHBORHOOD, HER NEIGHBORS BY A 20 TO ONE MA MAJORITY WANT HER THERE AS WELL.

LASTLY, COUNCIL MEMBERS, I ASK YOU TO GO ON RECORD TO SUPPORT THIS PROPOSAL TO ALLOW A HAIR SALON TO BE ADDED TO THE SUM 70 ODD USES OF NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICE.

AND I THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.

I KNOW THAT YOU GIVE YOUR TIME FREELY AND, UH, AND I APPRECIATE YOUR GENEROSITY OF TIME.

IF I CAN ASK ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO DO SO.

DEPUTY MAYOR, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION SPECIFICALLY FOR HIM? UH, ONE QUESTION FOR YOU.

JUST, YOU OWN THE CURRENT SITE, AM I CORRECT? YES.

SO YOU'RE TRYING TO GET A BUSINESS IN THERE, SO FOR SOME REASON SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T WORK OUT.

IT COULD BE A WHOLE DIFFERENT BUSINESS.

ONE OF THE ONES YOU MIGHT HAVE CORRECT.

IT, IT COULD BE AS THEY'VE INDICATED, COULD BE A KARATE PLACE, COULD BE A YEAH, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S ZONED AND THAT'S, THAT'S THE, IT'S ZONED THAT WAY AT YOUR PROPERTY AND THAT'S AND HAS BEEN ZONED FOR OVER 50 YEARS.

COUNCILMAN MAYOR PROTE.

THANKS, MAYOR.

UM, MR. DOWNEY, I I WANT TO JUST CLARIFY A FEW THINGS IN YOUR SPEECH.

UH, WELL DONE.

AND, AND I APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS THAT YOU'VE PUT IN.

UM, ONE, THE FIRST THING YOU STATED WAS THAT THIS IS NOT A ZONING CHANGE.

AND I'M, I'M JUST QUITE POSITIVE THAT IT IS.

WE ARE LITERALLY CHANGING THE ZONING.

I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU LOOK AT IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE AN IMPASSIONED SPEECH TO, TO MAKE AN ARGUMENT THAT'S NOT, WE ALWAYS LOOK AT WHAT IT SAYS AT THE FRONT OF IT AND OUR SAYS Z.

SO THAT'S A ZONING CHANGE.

AND THIS, AND THIS IS THE REASON WHY I SAY THAT IS THAT, UH, I WAS, I WAS GUIDED BY, UH, PLANNING AND ZONING AND THEY SAID THAT THIS IS REALLY AN AMENDMENT TO AN EXISTING ZONING.

IN OTHER WORDS, IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED PD 3 24, WHICH IS A, A TRUE STATE, BUT IT TAKES A ZONING CHANGE TO DO IT.

BUT, BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE ZONING CHANGE.

EASY WAY I LOOK AT IT, SINCE IT'S GOT A Z IN FRONT OF IT, WE CAN DENY IT WITH NO RECOURSE.

DEAL.

SO, SO IT'S, WE'RE SEMANTICS HERE.

EXACTLY.

THE

[01:00:01]

TO ME, THAT'S A ZONING CHANGE.

SO THAT, THAT'S KIND OF OUR, AND THAT WHOLE LIST OF NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES ISN'T ALLOWED AT THAT SITE.

NOW, ONLY A FEW ABOUT, AND I, AND I DO NOT KNOW WHY ONLY THAT FEW.

NO, THERE'S, THERE'S 70, THE 70 THAT I, HOW MANY ARE ALLOWED AT THAT SITE? WELL, AS HE'S TALKING, HE, HE'S MENTIONING THE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICE DISTRICT IS THE BASE DISTRICT FOR THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

BUT HIS SITE, YES.

AS FOR THEY USE THE BASE ZONING DISTRICT AS NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES FOR THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT IN OUR CHART.

THIS SPECIFIC USE IS NOT ALLOWED IN NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES.

CITYWIDE.

BUT ONE SLIDE YOU SHOWED US, SAVANNAH ONLY LISTED A FEW THINGS AND THAT WAS NOT AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST.

OH, THAT WAS, NO, IT WAS JUST A, THE TYPES OF PIECES.

I'M SORRY.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE ONLY THINGS THAT COULD GO THERE.

NO, SIR.

ANY ONE OF THE 75,000 COULD GO THERE EXCEPT FOR THIS.

AND WE'RE JUST ASKING WHY FOR NICK.

THAT'S A VALID QUESTION.

I MISUNDERSTOOD HER SLIDE.

COUNCIL MEMBER.

ARE YOU? YES, GO AHEAD.

UM, ADDITIONALLY, I, I BELIEVE THAT THE REASON THIS ZONING WAS ADDED IN 2011 WAS BECAUSE, NOT BECAUSE I, I THINK THAT THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO DO THEN, PARTICULARLY BECAUSE YOU WERE THE BUSINESS OWNER, THEN YOU WOULD BE OPERATING IT AS THE OWNER OF THE BUILDING.

AND THIS IS LOOKED AT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY AS NOW YOU'RE THE LANDLORD OF THE BUILDING.

BUT I'M CLARIFYING MY THOUGHTS AND MY COMMENTS TO YOU.

ALL THAT BEING SAID, BECAUSE OF YOUR DILIGENCE AND GETTING THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO SUPPORT THIS, I'M OVER.

I DEFINITELY SUPPORT THIS ITEM AND I APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS DOING SO.

WELL, GOOD.

CAN WE SKIP ALL THE MO THE PEOPLE TALKING? JUST GO TO THE MOTION NOW.

I'M , I'M JOKING.

NO, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

YOU'VE DONE IT.

BUT THAT'S WHAT WE DO.

I, WE WANT TO CLARIFY THINGS WE WANT TO GIVE AND TAKE.

WE WANT TO, WE WANT TO GET DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THINGS.

COUNCIL MEMBER COPELAND.

UH, SO STAFF, IF THIS WERE TO PASS, ARE WE NOW ADDING HAIR SALON TO THAT 72 ITEM LIST OR JUST THIS SPECIFIC SITE? JUST THIS, JUST THIS SITE.

YES SIR.

THEN DO, DO WE NEED TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT? IF WE WANT TO, WE COULD.

WE COULD SEND THAT TO THE D DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO TONIGHT.

GOOD QUESTION.

YOU GOOD COPELAND? YES, SIR.

COUNCIL MEMBER HEDEN.

UM, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS OR IT MIGHT BE FOR THE OPERATOR.

UM, I THOUGHT THERE IS PARKING IN THE BACK.

HOW MANY SPOTS ARE IN THE BACK, THERE'S CURRENTLY FIVE PARKING SPOTS AND WE CAN PUT MORE IN IF, IF NEEDED.

UM, AND HOW MANY BOOTHS, LIKE LITTLE STATIONS ARE THEY PLANNING ON? THEY CURRENTLY HAVE ONE AND I'M SURE THEY WOULD LIKE TO GROW.

MOST SMALL BUSINESSES WANT TO GROW, RIGHT? YEP.

AND, UH, AND I'M HOPING THEY WILL, IF THEY DO, WE'LL PUT IN THE PARKING.

WE HAVE THIS SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE IT SO THAT IT WILL BE OFF STREET PARKING AND NOT BOTHER THE NEIGHBORS.

UM, I'VE SEEN IN DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE THEY'RE TAKING HOUSES AND PLACING BUSINESSES AND, AND ACTUALLY I'VE SEEN IT DONE REALLY WELL, UM, INCREASES WALKABILITY.

AND THIS ONE ALREADY IS OPERATING AS A BUSINESS.

IT'S ALREADY OPERATING AS BUSINESS.

IT'S NOT A RESIDENCE.

NOW.

UM, I HAVE SEEN SOME SALONS.

I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF VARIATION.

I'M NOT SURE IF THERE ARE ANY STANDARDS, UH, FROM THE PLANNING SIDE ON, ON WHAT THEY CAN DO INSIDE, BUT I'VE SEEN SOME PLACES REALLY CRAMMED TOGETHER A LOT OF BOOTHS WITHIN A SMALL SPACE IN ORDER TO, YOU KNOW, INCREASE THEIR REVENUES.

WHEREAS YOU COULD HAVE IT MORE SPREAD OUT.

SO THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY CONCERN.

BUT FOR IF THERE'S ONLY, IF IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF BOOTHS PLANNING, UH, PLANNED TO GET THEM GOING.

THERE'S PARKING IN THE BACK.

IT SEEMS LIKE IT, IT SHOULD BE GREAT.

BUT I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF THEY, IF YOU WERE GONNA TELL ME THEY WERE GONNA TRY TO SQUEEZE IN 15 BOOTHS OR SOMETHING.

UM, SO SOUNDS LIKE THEY'RE STARTING SMALL.

THAT'S MY ONLY QUESTION.

I'M SURE MS. UH, ASHLEY, MUM FISHER WOULD BE ABLE TO ADDRESS IT MORE.

I THINK SHE'S, I THINK WE'RE COMFORTABLE WITH IT.

ASHLEY, MUM FISHER.

NOW ASHLEY, YOU'VE GOT COLE ON YOUR SIDE RIGHT NOW, SO DON'T GO TOO DEEP.

, I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY, SO.

UM, HE SAID MORE THAN ENOUGH.

UM, WE'VE ADDRESSED THE ISSUES AS FAR AS PARKING, UM, AND WE'VE ACTUALLY SPOKEN WITH, AND I SAW THE, UM, THE INPUT FROM THE OPPOSITION AND I'VE ADDRESSED THAT, UH, WITH CLIENTS TO MAKE SURE PARKING WILL BE IN THE BACK ON SITE.

PARKING'S THE BIGGEST ISSUE WE HAVE ANYTIME, ANYWHERE.

EXACTLY.

NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.

[01:05:01]

UH, 6 38 WEST CHURCH.

AND YOUR NAME AGAIN? ASHLEY HUMPHREY FISHER.

ARE YOU THE, ARE YOU THE ONE THAT'S GONNA BE CUTTING HAIR OWNER, OP, OWNER AND OPERATOR? IF A TASKERS, GOOD LUCK TO YOU.

THANK YOU MUCH.

THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT.

THANK YOU, DR.

SARAH DOWNEY NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.

SARAH, EVEN THOUGH SHE GIVES OUT YOUR NAME, GO AHEAD AND DO IT FOR THE, OKAY.

UH, MY NAME IS, UH, DR.

SARAH DOWNEY.

I LIVE AT SEVEN 14 WEST CHURCH STREET IN GRAND PRAIRIE WITH MY HUSBAND AND MY ELDERLY SISTER.

AND, UM, WE HAVE BEEN, UH, MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN IN THIS BUSINESS, UH, SITE FOR OVER 15, 20 YEARS.

AND I AM, UH, SPEAKING VERY STRONGLY FOR MS. ASHLEY BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF THE BUSINESS WAS, UH, MS. MARYANNE LITTLE.

I DON'T KNOW IF SOME OF YOU KNEW HER.

SHE HAD A DANCE STUDIO FOR CHILDREN AND THEN OURSELVES, I, YOU KNOW, AS A DOCTOR WAS A DANCE STUDIO.

OH MY GOODNESS.

WE SHOULDN'T BE ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT PARKING.

AND, UM, MYSELF, AS, AS A CHIROPRACTOR, I HAVE, UH, SUCCESSFULLY PRACTICED IN THIS SITE.

WELL FOR YOU.

AND, UM, AND SO I, I'VE ENJOYED THE WALKABILITY OF THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE I HAVE WALKED TO WORK FROM SEVEN 14 TO 6 30, 8 FOR 20 YEARS.

AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO MY SISTER BEING ABLE TO WALK DOWN AND GET HER HAIRCUT INSTEAD OF DRIVING HER A HALF AN HOUR AWAY.

UM, WHEN WE CONSIDERED RENTING TO MS. ASHLEY, WHAT I RECOGNIZED IS I REALLY RESPECTED HER ETHICS AS A PERSON AND SHE IS A COMPLIMENT TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.

'CAUSE I LIVE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND, UM, ON THE OPPOSITE CORNER IN THE SAME BLOCK THERE HAS BEEN.

THERE IS AND HAS BEEN ANOTHER BUSINESS OPERATING, BUT IT'S A COUNSELING SERVICE.

IT'S BEEN IN THAT SITE AS LONG AS I'VE LIVED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO THERE'S ANOTHER BUSINESS IN THE AREA.

SO, UM, AND I DO THINK, UH, YOUR TIME, UH, THIS IS OFF TOPIC A TINY BIT, BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION FOR THE VETERANS.

MY OWN BROTHER WAS A VIETNAM VETERAN AND UM, I CAN'T SPEAK ANYMORE ON THAT 'CAUSE IT BRINGS UP TOO MANY.

I UNDERSTAND.

WE'VE GOT, SOMEONE HAS A QUESTION OR A COMMENT FOR YOU.

COUNCIL MEMBER JOHNSON, I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.

I JUST HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF.

THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT, STAFF.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SHE'S GONNA START OFF WITH ONE BOOTH IN, IN THE ESTABLISHMENT.

SO ONE BOOTH, HER CAR, JUST ASSUMING SHE DOESN'T WALK THERE, SHE DRIVES A CAR THERE.

AT LEAST FOUR SPOTS AVAILABLE.

SO WHAT'S THE CAPACITY OF BOOTHS YOU CAN HAVE? BECAUSE WHEN SHE GOES FROM ONE BOOTH TO THREE OR FOUR BOOTHS, NOW YOU HAVE FOUR EMPLOYEES.

FOUR.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THE CAPACITY IS GONNA BE? HER PARKING SPACES ARE GONNA DICTATE THE NUMBER OF BOOTHS SHE HAS.

UM, SO HOW DO WE KNOW WHEN SHE'S INCREASING THAT? THE PARKING SPACES.

SO HOW DO YOU REGULATE THAT STAFF? CODE ENFORCEMENT, IF THERE'S A COMPLAINT, WILL LIKELY GO THROUGH AND INVESTIGATE THAT.

UM, FOR PARKING? YES.

PARKING ISSUES.

THAT'S, THAT'S HOW THEY'LL, THEY'LL ADDRESS THAT AFTER THE FACT.

SO IF SHE RECEIVED A CODE COMPLAINT AND TICKETED JUST SAYING TICKETED.

SO SHE HAS TO BE FINE BEFORE, DOESN'T HAVE TO BE TICKETED JUST AS A CITIZEN, UH, COMPLAINT.

AND THEY'LL GO INVESTIGATE IT.

AND IT WON'T BE, AND SOMETIMES WE TALK THEM AND YES.

FIGURE OUT CODE COMPLIANCE.

AND I BET AFTER VISITING WITH HER, SHE WANTS TO COMPLY.

SO WHO ELSE GONNA MAKE THE MOTION? CAN WE HAVE THEM TO COME DOWN? BECAUSE IT'S GONNA, I DON'T SEE THEM HAVING ONE BOOTH FOR 30 YEARS.

THEY'RE GONNA INCREASE THREE, AT LEAST FOUR BOOTHS IN INSIDE THEIR PROPERTY.

FOUR EMPLOYEES.

FOUR PATRONS.

THAT'S EIGHT.

WE ONLY HAVE FIVE SPOTS.

WE ALREADY GOT A PROBLEM.

MR. LANDOWNER, YOU SAID YOU COULD EXPAND THE PARKING.

HOW MANY PARKING SPACES CAN YOU PUT ON THIS SITE? FIVE ADDITIONAL.

WE'RE CURRENTLY TAKING BIDS RIGHT NOW.

I TALKED TO A GUY TODAY THAT WOULD GIVE YOU NINE.

10.

SO IT'LL DOUBLE HOW MANY, HOW MANY SALON BOOT.

HOW MANY CHAIRS DO YOU THINK WE COULD ALLOW FOR 10 PARKING SPACES? STAFF? WELL, THE REQUIREMENT IS TWO SPACES FOR EACH STATION.

AND ONE PER STATION FOR ONE SPACE FOR EACH EMPLOYEE.

ONE THING WE COULD DO, UM, IS HELP US OUT HERE.

THIS IS, UH, UH, PD.

SO THE CONDITION COULD STATE FOR EVERY, UH, ADDITIONAL SERVICE STATION, UH, IF SHE CHOOSES TO EXPAND DOWN THE LINE, SHE'LL NEED TO GET A PARKING, UH, THE PARKING REVIEWED BY CITY STAFF AND APPROVE.

MR. HOW MANY CAN WE GIVE HER TO START? I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO COME DOWN THERE TO ADD THE SECOND

[01:10:01]

CHAIR.

CAN WE LET HER START OUT WITH WHAT WOULD SOUND REASONABLE? CALL THREE.

WELL, MAYOR, UM, I KNOW THE DOWNEYS DID A GOOD JOB OF DEVELOPING THE SITE AND THEY HAVE A, UM, PAVED DRIVEWAY.

WITH A GATE.

AND I WONDER IF THAT COUNTS AS ADDITIONAL PARKING.

THEY JUST, MY HAIR.

I GOTTA GET UP.

I DON'T, WELL, I DON'T LIKE PARKING ON THE STREET.

BUT IF THEY DO HAVE PAGED PARKING THAT LEADS TO THE PARKING LOT.

AS LONG AS IT'S WIDE ENOUGH.

ENOUGH PARKING.

PUT PARALLEL PARKING ALONG THAT.

COLE, I THINK WE WANNA GIVE THEM SOME DIRECTION THAT THEY CAN START OUT AND ADD SOME CHAIRS WITHOUT COMING TO CODE.

SO, UH, HOW MANY YOU WANT TO GET UP TO? HOW MANY YOU LOOKING TO GET UP TO BEFORE YOU REALLY RUN OUTTA PARKING? WE'RE ASKING Y'ALL HELP.

IF SHE PUT FIVE MINUTES, GO TO FIVE.

IF THERE'S ENOUGH PARKING, YOU GROW, YOU GROW.

IF YOU GO OVER FIVE, YOU NEED TO COME DOWN HERE AND ASK SOME MORE PARKING.

THAT'S WITH THE PARKING YOU'RE FIXING TO ADD.

I'M NOT SAYING THAT'LL BE PART OF THE MOTION, BUT IT MAY BE.

COLE, DO YOU HEAR THAT MR. DOWNEY? DO YOU HAVE FIVE SPACES SET ASIDE? WELL, CURRENT SPACES OR FIVE SPACES AND YOU'RE ADDING FIVE MORE? YOU, YOU ARE.

THAT'S NOT, MAYBE THAT'S AN YOU DEFINITELY.

THAT COULD BE PART OF YOUR MOTION.

COUNSEL, WHERE AHEAD? I JUST WANTED RASHAD NOT A, WELL I JUST WANTED RASHAD.

'CAUSE I I WANTED YOU TO JUST RESTATE THE STANDARD.

'CAUSE IT WENT A LITTLE FAST FOR ME.

THE STANDARD IS GONNA THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

IT'S GONNA DICTATE ALL OF THIS.

SO THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS USE IS ONE SPACE FOR EACH EMPLOYEE PLUS TWO SPACES FOR EACH SERVICE STATION, WHICH INCLUDES CUTTING HERE AND THERE.

10.

SO THAT MEANS THEY CAN'T HAVE FIVE.

'CAUSE THAT WOULD MEAN THEY'D HAVE TO HAVE 15 PARKING SPACES CAN HAVE, SO THEY CAN HAVE THREE AFTER HE ADDS THE, WE COULD DO A VARIANCE AND LET 'EM HAVE THREE.

'CAUSE THAT WOULD MEAN THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE NINE, RIGHT? THREE WOULD BE FINE.

AND I WOULD BE COMFORTABLE WITH GIVING A FOURTH ONE BASED ON THE MOTION.

'CAUSE THAT TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER THE CODE.

BAM.

ALL RIGHT.

UH, THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE SUPPORT THIS ITEM.

JARED FISHER, MARY WHITE, KIRBY MCMILLAN, KEELY COLLINS, LC, MASTERS.

AND AVA H.

BROWN.

NOW LOOK FOLKS, I DO THINK I KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN AND I THINK WE'RE GONNA IMPROVE THIS, BUT THIS IS WHAT WE LIKE.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT.

Y'ALL WORKING TOGETHER? Y'ALL DOING THE LEG WORK? COLE MAYOR PRO TEM.

I'M READY FOR A MOTION.

UM, MY FIRST COMMENT IS TO THE OPERATOR.

I WANNA THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO ADDRESS THE ONE OPPOSED AND WORKING WITH THEM TO SATISFY ANY TYPE OF CONCERN THEY MAY HAVE GAVE HER FREE HAIRCUTS FOR A YEAR.

YEAH, .

AND SECOND TO THE LANDOWNER WHO DID THE DILIGENT WORK AND, UH, GOT THE NEIGHBORHOOD INVOLVED TO, UM, SHOW SUPPORT FOR THIS BUSINESS, UH, COMMUNITY BUSINESS NEIGHBORHOOD.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, I MOVE THE APPROVAL OF ITEM 42 WITH THE LIMITATION OF FOUR TOTAL STATIONS BEFORE SHE RETURNS TO COUNCIL FOR ADDITIONAL VARIANCES OR CHANGES OR GETS WITH STAFF TO ADD MORE PARKING OR GETS WITH STAFF TO ADD MORE PARKING.

THEY DON'T HAVE TO COME TO COUNCIL TO GET THEM MORE PARKING.

SECOND.

COUNCIL MEMBER HEDON FOR THE SECOND.

GOOD WORK COUNSEL, WE HAVE A MOTION.

SECOND.

AY, OPPOSED, SAY NAY.

THERE'S CONCRETE MASONRY UNITS

THANK YOU CITIZENS.

ITEM 43

[43. SUP-23-01-0001 - Specific Use Permit - JH Walker Trucking (City Council District 5). Specific Use Permit/Site Plan for Heavy Truck Parking facility on 3.22 acres. Tract 9, William C.

Jefferson St (On February 27, 2023, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval by a vote of 8-0)]

ITEM.

IS THIS AN EXISTING SITE, AN EXISTING BUSINESS? UH, THE REASON IT'S BEFORE YOU DENIED IS THEY'RE PROPOSING TO, UH, TOTALLY REDEVELOP THE SITE, UH, WHICH WOULD TRIGGER A REQUIREMENT FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

SO THEY'RE PROPOSING HEAVY TRUCK PARKING FACILITY ON 3.2 ACRES.

ITS ZONE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, AND IT'S AT 33 12 EAST JEFFERSON STREET.

AND THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN MEETS OUR DENSITY AND DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS.

IT DOES MEET OUR LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS EXCEPT FOR THE, UH, REQUIRED SHRUBS.

ON THE SCREEN.

YOU CAN SEE THE PROPOSED BUILDING ELEVATIONS.

[01:15:01]

AND PRE-FINISHED METAL PANELS INCLUDES GLAZING OVERHEAD ROLL-UP DOORS, AND A STANDING SEAM METAL ROOF.

ON FEBRUARY 27TH.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL BY A VOTE OF EIGHT TO ZERO.

AND THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS APPROVAL WITH THE CONDITION THAT THE APPLICANT PROVIDE THE REQUIRED SHRUBS ALONG THE FRONT TO SCREEN THE PARKING SPACES.

THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

ANYBODY GOT ANY QUESTIONS FOR SAVANNAH? ANNA? JUSTIN WALKER CONSULTANTS IN THE WAY? YEAH, YOU DON'T NEED TO SIT ON THE END.

WHEN IN THE MIDDLE WHEN YOU'RE GONNA SPEAK , SIT ON THE CORNER.

I'LL TAKE THAT IN CONSIDERATION.

THAT'S HIDY.

MY NAME'S JUSTIN WALKER.

UM, WE'VE BEEN OPERATING HERE AS A TRUCKING BUSINESS FOR 20 PLUS YEARS.

BEFORE US WAS A TRUCKING COMPANY FOR 20 PLUS YEARS.

UM, IN ORDER TO REDEVELOP THE SITE, WE NEED A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR TRUCK REPAIRS AND DOORS FACING THE STREET.

UM, WE ALREADY KIND OF HAVE THAT ALREADY THERE.

UM, WE JUST REALLY, THE BUILDING'S DILAPIDATED.

WE HAVE TEMPORARY OFFICES NOW.

SO YOUR BUILDING RIGHT NOW HAS THAT ALREADY? YES.

SO YOU'RE JUST OKAY.

AND IT, BECAUSE WE'RE REDOING IT, IT RE-TRIGGERS IT AND WE HAVE TO REAPPLY FOR IT.

UM, I BELIEVE THAT'S THE CORRECT.

I DON'T KNOW.

UM, AND SO WE HAVE TEMPORARY OFFICES THERE AND WE JUST WANNA MAKE SOMEWHERE THAT'S PROUD FOR OUR CUSTOMERS TO TAKE, TAKE, TAKE OUR CUSTOMERS TOO.

ARE YOU EXPANDING OR JUST TEARING DOWN? REBUILDING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WE ARE EXPANDING.

SO WE'RE GOING FROM A 6,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING TO A ABOUT 20,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING.

DO YOU HAVE A SITE PLAN? YES.

UH, WELL, I DON'T HAVE IT WITH ME.

I THINK SAVANNAH, I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS ON, IT WAS ON ONE OF THESE SLIDES.

WHERE'S THE EXISTING, UH, EXACTLY WHERE IT IS NOW.

SO THE EXISTING BUILDING WILL BE PLACED ON TOP OF WHERE THE NEW BUILDING WILL BE PLACED ON TOP OF WHERE THE EXISTING BUILDING IS.

ARE YOU TEARING DOWN THE EXISTING? YES, SIR.

MAYOR, COUNCIL MAYOR PRO TEM ON THE, UH, JEFFERSON ENTRYWAY THERE.

UH, IS THAT SCREENED OR NOT OR? SO CURRENTLY WE HAVE A SIX FOOT WALL OR SIX FOOT CHAINING FENCE AND WE INTEND TO PUT UP A NEW FENCE.

INTEND TO PUT UP A NEW FENCE.

WE WILL BE PUTTING UP A NEW FENCE WITH A GATE WITH SECURITY.

WELL CLOSING GATE AS THAT.

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF WHEN WE'RE DONE WITH IT.

MAYOR PRO TEM, CONTINUE ON.

ANY COMMENTS OF ANY OH, NO, THAT'S IT FOR ME.

LET ME SEE.

UM, I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR YOU NOW, BUT STILL ON THE END IN CASE WE CALL YOU BACK UP.

UM, YOU HAD A QUESTION FOR STAFF MAYOR PRO TEM? YES.

UM, A YEAR OR SO AGO, WE ESSENTIALLY REJECTED A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR TRUCK PARKING FROM AN APPLICANT WHO, UH, PROMISED X, Y, AND Z AND YEARS WENT BY WITH NOTHING DONE.

AND SO I WANT TO BE CONSISTENT IN OUR EFFORTS.

THE, I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH EVERY DETAILED ASPECT OF THE TRUCK PARKING REQUIREMENTS.

STAFF DOES FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT THEY'RE PROVIDING WHAT WE REQUIRE ENVIRONMENTALLY DEVELOPMENT AND ALL, ALL THE ABOVE.

YES, THAT'S CORRECT.

AND ALL OF THOSE CONDITIONS ARE TIED WITH THAT SUP.

UH, THEY HAVE ONE YEAR AFTER APPROVAL TO GET THE BUILDING PERMIT, AND IF THEY DON'T, THEY WOULD HAVE TO REAPPLY.

SO WE DO HAVE THE SUP TO HOLD THEM TO THAT.

EXCELLENT.

THANK YOU FOR THAT ANSWER.

GOOD QUESTION, MAYOR PRO.

TIM, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WE DO NOT.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, UM, I MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 43 AS PRESENTED.

ALSO IN ADDITION TO THE STATEMENT AND REQUIREMENT THAT THEY BUILD AN, YOU'VE ONLY MISSED A FENCE IN PLACE OF THE CHAIN LINK FENCE.

WE HAVE A MOTION SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER COPELAND.

DID YOU HEAR THE MOTION? YOU MADE A LITTLE CHANGE IN IT.

THE OPPOSED A NAY.

MICHELLE.

I KNOW.

ARE YOU STILL HERE? MICHELLE JUST LEFT.

OH MY GOODNESS.

ERIC, YOU'RE STILL HERE.

BARRY, YOU'RE STILL HERE.

LITTLE WOODROW HAVE HAS WITHDRAWN THEIR APPLICATION.

SOME OF US AREN'T THAT DISHEARTENED.

SORRY.

YOU ARE.

I'LL BUY YOU A DRINK SOMEWHERE ELSE.

[01:20:01]

GO AHEAD, SAVANNAH.

ALL RIGHT.

THIS NEXT ITEM IS A ZONING CHANGE AND A CONCEPT PLAN.

YOU CAN SEE THE PROPOSED LOCATION OUTLINED IN RED ON THE SCREEN.

THIS IS ABOUT SIX ACRES.

IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED AGRICULTURE AND THEY'RE PROPOSING TO CREATE A PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES.

SINGLE FAMILY.

CAN WE HAVE A MOTION NOW? ALL THE FAVOR, SAY AYE.

WE GOT OUT.

OH, I GOTTA, I'M SORRY.

WE GOTTA WORK OUT THE DETAILS.

THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

SO THEY ARE PROPOSING 30 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.

UH, ON THIS SCREEN IS A SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED DENSITY AND DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS COMPARED AGAINST WHAT THEY'RE BASED ZONING.

DISTRICT OF SINGLE FAMILY FIVE AND APPENDIX W AND THEY ARE REQUIRING A FEW VARIANCES.

AND THE FIRST IS THE TO THE MINIMUM LOT AREA.

UH, SINGLE FAMILY FIVE REQUIRES A 6,500 SQUARE FEET.

APPENDIX W DOES REQUIRE A HIGHER, UH, LOT AREA.

UH, THEY'RE PROPOSING TO MEET THE BASE SONY DISTRICT OF SINGLE FAMILY FIVE AT THE MINIMUM LOT WIDTH.

THEY'RE PROPOSING 60 FEET.

APPENDIX W DOES REQUIRE 65.

UH, AGAIN, THEY'RE PROPOSING 60 FEET.

THEY ARE PROPOSING 50 FEET AT THE CUL-DE-SAC.

YOU'LL NOTICE, UH, THESE LOTS RIGHT HERE.

UH, THEY ARE REQUESTING SOME RELIEF FROM THE WIDTH AND THE DEPTH, AND THEN THE MINIMUM LOT DEPTH.

THEY ARE, UH, PROPOSING 90 FEET FOR THOSE CUL-DE-SAC LOTS.

ON THE SCREEN YOU CAN SEE THEIR PROPOSED BUILDING ELEVATIONS.

AS I MENTIONED, THEY'RE REQUIRING SOME VARIANCES FIRST TO THE LOT WIDTH.

UH, THEY'RE PROPOSING 60 FEET AND THEN 50 FEET FOR THE LOTS ALONG THE CUL-DE-SAC AND THE LOT DEPTH FOR THE CUL-DE-SAC.

LOTS.

THEY'RE PROPOSING 90 WHEN 100 IS REQUIRED.

UH, APPENDIX W DOES REQUIRE A CURVY LINEAR STREET DESIGN.

UH, THEY'RE REQUESTING A VA A VARIANCE TO ALLOW STREET WITH NO CURVES.

UH, AND THEN THE GARAGE TYPE.

UH, THEY'RE REQUESTING TO ALLOW FRONT ENTRY GARAGES AS A COMPENSATORY MEASURE.

THEY ARE PROPOSING TO PROVIDE SOME ENHANCEMENTS.

UH, STAFF DID RECEIVE SOME WRITTEN OPPOSITION AND SUPPORT.

UH, THOSE LOCATIONS ARE NOTED ON THE MAP ON THE SCREEN.

THOSE PARCELS IN ORANGE ARE IN OPPOSITION.

AND WE DID RECEIVE ONE LETTER OF SUPPORT IN BLUE.

UH, SOME OF THE CONCERNS WERE THE NUMBER OF HOMES, UH, THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ON HOME VALUES, AND THEN POWER OUTAGES.

ON FEBRUARY 13TH, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL BY A VOTE OF SEVEN TO ZERO.

AND THE DRC RECOM, UH, DRC RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AS WELL.

I WILL NOTE THAT THE, UH, BASE ZONING DISTRICT SPECIFIES A MINIMUM LIVING AREA OF 1,600.

UH, THE PROPOSED HOMES ARE ACTUALLY, UH, 2000 SQUARE FEET, AND THE APPLICANT IS AMENABLE TO ADJUSTING THAT AS PART OF A CONDITION OF APPROVAL.

I DON'T SEE ANY LIGHTS FOR YOU, SAVANNAH.

MICHAEL SALCEDO.

MICHAEL, HELLO, MY NAME IS MICHAEL SALCEDO.

MY OFFICE IS LOCATED AT 4 0 1 COLLEGE STREAM IN GRAND PRAIRIE, TEXAS.

UM, THIS PROJECT IS REALLY AN INFILL PROJECT FROM THE DEVELOPMENT WHICH HAS TAKEN PLACE OVER MANY YEARS.

UH, UH, THESE LOT SIZES ARE CONSISTENT WITH ALL OF THE SURROUNDING LOT SIZES AROUND US.

IT, YOU KNOW, THE, IF THE DEVELOPER WOULD'VE GOTTEN HIS HANDS ON THIS PROPERTY AT THE TIME THAT THE ORIGINAL SUBDIVISIONS WENT IN, ALL OF THIS WOULD'VE ALREADY BEEN BUILT OUT ALREADY.

BUT THIS WAS A HOLDOUT PROPERTY THAT FOR SOME REASON JUST NEVER GOT SOLD AND NEVER GOT DEVELOPED.

SO WE ARE COMING IN NOW TO BUILD AND DEVELOP THE SAME SIZE LOTS AND HOUSES WITH WHAT'S CONSISTENT OUT THERE.

ALREADY.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH STAFF TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THE ENGINEERING DRAINAGE, UTILITIES.

UM, AND SO WE'VE, WE THINK WE HAVE, UH, GOOD SOLUTIONS TO ALL OF THOSE ISSUES.

AND WE ARE, UH, I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

UH, DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM LOPEZ.

UH, MICHAEL, QUESTION FOR YOU.

UM, AS FAR AS BENHAM LIVING AREA, 2000 SQUARE FEET, I MEAN, AMENDING THAT, THERE'S NO CONCERNS IN THAT.

JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE, WE'RE GOOD IN THAT SPACE.

I'M, I, I'D ALSO LIKE TO SAY THAT I'M JOINED BY THE DEVELOPER, MR. SED ANARI.

AND OKAY.

IF HE, YOU'D LIKE TO COME UP HERE? I THINK HE CAN SPEAK TO THAT QUESTION.

GOOD EVENING.

UH, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MY NAME IS SED AND I LIVE IN, UH, 1 0 2 0 9 SAVOY DRIVE IN PLANO, TEXAS.

UM, OKAY.

YEAH, THE QUESTION AS FAR AS THE MINIMUM LIVING AREA? YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

I THINK THAT'S, ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT'S 2000 BEING A MINIMUM.

YOU'RE OKAY WITH THE 2000

[01:25:01]

BEING A MINIMUM? GOOD.

YEAH, WE CAN NOW, UM, IS THIS FOR SALE? AM I CORRECT THE PROPERTIES, IS IT FOR SALE OR FOR LEASE? FOR SALE.

FOR SALE.

ALL OF IT.

AND THEN WILL Y'ALL BE JOINING THE JASON PIT OR WHAT? HAVE YOUR OWN HOA HOW'S THAT GOING TO I MEAN, WE, WE'VE NOT, UH, WE WE HAVE TO HAVE OUR OWN.

WE HAVE TO.

WE HAVE TO HAVE OUR OWN.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR OWN HOAI BELIEVE SO.

IS THAT CORRECT? OKAY.

BUT ARE THE INSIDE OF SOMEBODY'S PIT BOUNDARIES? WE CAN DOUBLE CHECK THAT.

WE'LL DOUBLE CHECK THAT.

DOUBLE, DOUBLE CHECKING JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT, WE'LL, WE'LL MOVE ON WHILE HE IS DOUBLE CHECKING.

THAT.

ALL RIGHTY.

AND THEN, UM, AS FAR AS, UM, THE PROPERTY, I MEAN, YOU GOT ANY IMAGES OF WHAT THE HOUSES MIGHT LOOK LIKE, WOULD IT BE SIMILAR TO WHAT'S ALREADY THERE? WOULD IT BE DIFFERENT? UH, DO YOU HAVE ANY, ANYTHING TO GO BY? OH, WE DON'T HAVE ANY IMAGES, BUT, UH, WE PLAN TO JUST DO WHATEVER, UM, YOU KNOW, STONE, BRICK, UH, FACADE AND UM, OKAY.

WE BUILD ENERGY EFFICIENT HOMES, SO IT'LL BE GOOD INSIDE AS WELL AS OUTSIDE.

TED, DOES OUR CODE REQUIRE, I MEAN, I DON'T WANT TO JUST APPROVE SOMETHING.

WE DON'T EVEN, WHAT DOES OUR CODE REQUIRE? WE CANNOT REQUIRE CERTAIN BUILDING MATERIALS.

NOT ANYMORE.

CAN'T WE? THE STATE TOOK THAT AWAY FROM US.

UM, BUT, UH, WITH BEING A ZONING CHANGE, WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE THEM TO MEET WHAT THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD HAS.

IN OTHER WORDS, YOU KNOW, TRY TO, NOT SAYING THAT IT'S A REQUIRED FOR THE MOTION, BUT, SO WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO BUILD THE HOUSE AT THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD IF, IF IT GETS APPROVED TODAY.

THAT'S, THAT'S A PLAN.

ALRIGHTYY.

AND THEN THE AVERAGE COST OF THE HOUSE IS IN THIS, WHAT YOU'RE TARGETING FOR? I THINK IT'S PROBABLY GONNA BE SOMEWHERE IN THE 450 TO 600 RANGE.

COUNCIL MEMBER HEDON, I REALLY HAD A SIMILAR QUESTION REGARDING HOW YOUR BUILD YOUR, UH, BUILDS ARE GONNA BE THE SAME AS OR BETTER OR DIFFERENT FROM WHAT'S THERE.

BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE STILL IN THE DEVELOPMENT PHASE ON THAT, BUT YOU WILL TRY YOUR BEST TO MATCH WHAT'S THERE.

WOULD'VE BEEN GREAT TO SEE THAT.

UH, BUT WE TRUST THAT IT WILL BE A TOP-NOTCH PRODUCT THAT DOESN'T LOOK OUT OF PLACE.

THE BUILDING CODE GETS, KEEPS GETTING BETTER EVERY FEW YEARS OR SO.

THEY, IT GETS INTO, UH, THE SINK.

SO WE, WE ACTUALLY BUILD, YOU KNOW, FOR ALL THE BUILDINGS THAT WE'VE BUILT BEFORE, WE'VE BUILT BETTER THAN THE CODE.

SO YEAH.

WE PLAN TO PUT, WE, WE WANNA BE PROUD OF WHAT WE BUILT THERE.

WHEN YOU WERE GOING THROUGH SOMETHING, THERE WERE SOME SKETCHES OF SOMETHING.

WAS THAT, WAS THAT, THAT WAS, YOU'RE RIGHT.

IT WASN'T COLOR, IT WAS JUST SILHOUETTE.

SO IT REALLY DIDN'T SHOW US MUCH.

BUT THAT YOU CAN TELL THAT STONE AND BRICK.

AND SO, UH, YEAH, THESE ARE, THAT'S ALL WE HAVE TO GO ON RIGHT NOW.

SO AT LEAST WHAT YOU BRING IS BETTER.

LOOK PRETTY CLOSE TO THAT.

I MEAN, UNDERSTAND.

'CAUSE THIS IS A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD HERE AND THAT'S ALL WE HAVE TO GO ON.

SO, UH, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER COPELAND, UH, MICHAEL, I, AS, AS A RULE, I GUESS I CAN NOW SAY GENERAL RULE.

I'M OPPOSED TO ALL 50 FOOT LOTS.

WE FOUGHT SO HARD IN THIS TOWN TO GET AWAY FROM THOSE.

HOWEVER, YOU USED A WORD THAT COULD CHANGE MY MIND WHEN YOU SAID THESE LOTS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE OTHER LOTS.

AND 50 IS REAL CLOSE TO 60.

SO YOU WOULDN'T BE FIBBING IF YOU SAID CONSISTENT.

SO MY QUESTION IS TO STAFF, OF ALL OF THE LOTS THAT TOUCH THESE, ARE THOSE ALL 50 FOOT LOTS? I BELIEVE THEY'RE 60 AND THEY'RE PROPOSING 60 AS WELL.

I THOUGHT THEY WERE PROPOSING 50.

NO, WE'RE PROPOSING 60.

AND THERE ARE, SORRY, A FEW ON THE CUL-DE-SAC THAT ARE GONNA BE 50 FEET WIDE, BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE LOTS ARE GONNA BE 60.

I I MIS MISREAD.

SO, ME TOO.

THANKS FOR POINTING THAT OUT.

AND YOU'RE RIGHT, SOME PEOPLE WOULD SAY, WELL, 50 CLOSE TO 60.

AND IT'S, IT'S CONSISTENT.

DEPENDS ON WHETHER YOU'RE HITTING A GOLF BALL OR .

UH, COUNCIL MEMBER ZANU.

UM, WHAT I WAS THINKING IS I WANTED TO ASK, UH, DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM LOPEZ, POSSIBLY IF WE COULD, UH, TABLE THIS OR POSTPONE THIS MOTION, UH, THIS ITEM UNTIL WE HAVE SOME ELEVATIONS IN FRONT OF US.

'CAUSE THE FEAR IS THAT IF THEY BRING BACK A SITE PLAN AND IT DOESN'T LOOK, IT'D BE TOO

[01:30:01]

LATE.

IT DOESN'T LOOK ANYTHING LIKE THESE SKETCHES HERE.

THERE'S NOTHING THAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.

AND IT'S KINDA LIKE, UH, THE ONE WE TABLED LAST TIME, THAT COUNCIL MEMBER, HE'S DISTRICT WE TABLED SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE WE DIDN'T EVEN LIKE THE LOOKS OF THE GARAGE DOORS.

AND THE HARDWARE.

I WILL WHAT, WHAT, WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND RASHAD? WELL, I WILL SAY, AND THE, THE APPLICANT AND MICHAEL CAN SPEAK TO THIS, THE SHEETS THAT WE RECEIVED, ALTHOUGH THEY SAID CONCEPTUAL, THEY ARE FROM AN ARCHITECT WHO I BELIEVE THESE ARE HIS BUILT SHEETS.

SO THESE ARE THE ELEVATIONS THAT THESE RIGHT HERE ARE.

IF IF SO THESE COULD BE PART OF THE DOCUMENTATION THAT IF THEY COME BACK IN THE SITE PLAN THAT DON'T LOOK LIKE THIS, WE COULD DENY IT RIGHT NOW THAT'S TO VERIFY.

DOES THAT CAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? THAT EXACTLY.

THAT'S A GOOD POINT.

AS LONG AS WE CAN DENY IT.

IF IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT, IF THOSE ARE THE SPECIFIC YEAH, HE, HE JUST SENT ME ONE.

I DIDN'T OPEN IT UP ON MY PHONE, BUT OKAY.

HE SHOWED IT TO ME ON HIS, AND SO I'M COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.

IF WE HAVE LEGAL POWER TO THE NIGHT WHEN IT COMES BACK TO SITE PLAN, IT'S, IT'S NOT GOING TO COME BACK.

THIS IS SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED.

SO THE, LIKE A TOWN HOME DEVELOPMENT, WE WOULD HAVE A SITE PLAN REQUIREMENT PER APPENDIX W BUT SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED DOES NOT.

OH, NO.

SO WHAT Y'ALL WON'T GET, TELL US WHAT WE DO HERE, MEGAN.

BUT IF IT WAS INCONSISTENT WITH THE CONCEPT PLAN, THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK AND GET A MODIFIED CONCEPT PLAN APPROVED.

IS THAT CORRECT? IS THIS A BECAUSE IT'S A ZONING CHANGE CONCEPT? YES.

IT'S A CONCEPT, A ZONING CHANGE CONCEPT PLAN.

THESE EXACT BUILDING ELEVATIONS ARE GONNA BE ATTACHED TO THE ORDINANCE SAYING YOU'VE GOTTA BE CONSISTENT WITH THAT.

OR IT COMES BACK OR IT'S DENIED THE BUILDING PERMIT AND THEY HAVE TO SUBMIT.

SEE THAT, THAT GIVES IT TEETH.

WE, WE DON'T WANNA SAY YES AND THEN THEM COME UP.

WELL, THAT'S NOT WHAT WE APPROVED, WHICH HAS HAPPENED BEFORE.

Y'ALL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT? YEAH.

THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.

I BET YOU'RE GOOD WITH THAT.

DEPUTY MAYOR PROTE? YES.

UH, WE STILL HAVE ANOTHER SPEAKER.

OH.

IF WANTS TO MR. I, SORRY, I KNOW YOU CAME UP WITH QUESTIONS.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANNA SAY? OKAY.

DON'T MAKE YOUR MOTION YET.

OH, I, I HAD QUESTIONS HERE.

YOU CAN DO YOUR QUESTIONS FIRST AND THEN YOU GO AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK TO YOU.

YOU'VE GOT THE FLOOR.

DEPUTY MAYOR.

JUST ON THESE IMAGES HERE, THERE'S SOME THAT LOOK LIKE MAYBE WOODEN GARAGES.

SOME DON'T LOOK LIKE WOODEN.

IS THAT, IS THAT CORRECT? TO ASSUME SOME MIGHT BE METAL OR THESE ALL YEAH, WE ARE PLANTING METAL.

'CAUSE A LOT OF 'EM LOOK WOODEN.

LIKE THE BOTTOM LEFT.

THAT'S METAL.

THERE ARE, UM, METAL DOORS THAT, UH, LOOK LIKE WOOD.

BUT IF THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE THAT, IT'LL COME BACK.

THESE WOULD, OR WHAT WE WOULD CALL ENHANCED GARAGE DOORS.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD PROBABLY WANNA STIPULATE THE ENHANCED GARAGE DOORS, JOHN.

ALL RIGHTY.

AND THEN, UM, ANOTHER THANK YOU RASHAD.

LAST QUESTION.

TRE ESTATES THE NAMING.

IT KIND OF, I'M NOT SURE IF YOU, IF YOU'RE STUCK WITH THAT NAME OR IF YOU WANT TO CONSIDER LIKE WHAT'S THE ROUND JAW? I KNOW THAT THAT WAS A COMMENT THAT WAS ASKED.

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE OPENING TRANQUIL HOMES IS THE NAME OF THE BUILDER.

THAT'S DEVELOPING IT.

SO THEY WANTED TO CALL IT, UH, TRANQUIL ESTATE.

AND THERE'S LITTLE ZS AS YOU PULL IN ON THE SIGN.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER CLEMSON.

I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE, I WANNA CLARIFY THIS.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 2000 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM.

MINIMUM.

AND WHAT WOULD THAT GO UP TO? UH, IT CAN GO UP TO ABOUT 3,500.

OKAY, WELL IF IT'S 3,500 AND YOU SAID YOUR PRICES WOULD BE FOUR 50 TO 600? SIX 50.

SIX 50.

AND I'M JUST CURIOUS, UH, WE COULD SEE THE FINISHES ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING FOR FINISHES ON THE INSIDE? JUST INSIDE GENERALLY? OH, WE HAVE, UH, AT THE MINIMUM WE'LL HAVE, UH, GRANITE OR SPEAK IN THE MICROPHONE SPEAK.

THINK THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE HAD SEEN AT THE LAST MEETING.

WE'LL HAVE, UH, GRANITE OR UH, QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS, YOU KNOW, HARD, UH, THIS THING, WE WOULD HAVE SOME LAMINATE FLOORING, UM, SOME WOOD FLOORING AND SOME, THOSE ARE ALL OPTIONS THAT THE, THE BUYERS CAN CHOOSE.

AND, UH, GOOD APPLIANCES, YOU KNOW, STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES ARE VERY POPULAR RIGHT NOW.

AND, UH, SO WE'LL HAVE THAT.

AND, UM, YOU KNOW, AND ANOTHER QUESTION ABOUT THE ENHANCED GARAGE DOORS, IS THAT WHAT WE LOOKED AT AT OUR LAST MEETING THAT JUST HAD THE BRACKETS ON IT? LIKE WE HAD ON THE, UH, COUNCILWOMAN HEAD? THE THESE, SOME OF THESE LOOK SLIGHTLY MORE ENHANCED, BUT WHAT YOU'RE SEEING ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND, I

[01:35:01]

BUT FOR INSTANCE, WHAT'S ON THE BOTTOM LEFT, SAY ENHANCED.

AND IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 3,500 SQUARE FOOT, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'RE GONNA BUILD SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY QUALITY FOR SIX 50.

I'M JUST, I'M JUST CURIOUS.

I'M JUST THINKING ALOUD HERE.

IT YEAH, I MEAN, IT COULD BE HIGHER TOO.

I MEAN, IT'S, UH, MARKET, THE MARKET KEEPS GOING BY SOMETIMES Y'ALL THINK WE WANT TO HEAR A LOW NUMBER.

WHAT WE WANT TO HEAR IS AN ACTUAL NUMBER.

I CAN'T IMAGINE YOU BUILDING A 3,500 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE THAT YOU'RE GONNA SELL FOR SIX 50.

EXACTLY.

I'M ALSO A REALTOR.

I KNOW THAT, UH, IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, PRICES HAVE JUST DOUBLED IN CERTAIN AREAS HERE.

SO IT, IT'S CRAZY.

BY THE TIME WE BUILD THIS COULD BE SOMEWHERE ELSE.

SO THAT, THAT WE CAN'T PUT ANY THE 3,500 SQUARE FEET.

YEAH, YOU'RE GONNA, YOU'RE GONNA SELL IT FOR WHAT IT YEAH.

MY CONCERN IS THAT IT'S ALL QUALITY.

THE HIGHEST QUALITY THAT WE CAN BRING TO THAT.

TO THAT AREA.

WE DON'T REALLY COMPROMISE ON THAT.

PRETTY CONSISTENT.

LOOKS LIKE IN THERE.

ANYBODY ELSE GOT ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM? THANK Y'ALL, MIKE.

THANK YOU DEPUTY MAYOR.

MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE ITEM NUMBER 44 WITH THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS.

ONE THAT WE CHANGE THE MINIMUM LIVING AREA TO 2000 SQUARE FEET AND THAT WE, WE ALSO ADD THAT THE GARAGE DOORS BE ENHANCED OR UPGRADED AS, UM, DESCRIBED HERE ON THE IMAGES BEFORE US.

IS THAT GOOD? YES, SIR.

RASHAD? YES SIR.

WE HAVE A MOTION.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE HEARD IT.

UH, COUNCIL MEMBER JOHNSON.

SECONDED IT.

MONA, WE HAVE A MOTION TO SECOND.

EXCUSE ME.

AND OPPOSED A NAY MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

[Items 45 & 46]

AND 46.

WE CAN TAKE THESE TOGETHER.

ITEM NUMBER 45 AGAIN IS THE AMENDMENT TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

UH, THE APPLICANT'S REQUESTING TO CHANGE IT FROM MIXED USE AND OPEN SPACE DRAINAGE TO HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL RETAIL OFFICE.

THE ZONING CHANGE IS FOR MULTI-FAMILY AND THEN A HOTEL AND RESTAURANT.

UH, TO GIVE YOU A PROJECT UPDATE, THE APPLICANT HAS REDUCED THE TOTAL NUMBER OF UNITS FROM 320 TO 305.

UH, AND THE IMAGE ON THE SCREEN KIND OF SHOWS THE MARKUP THAT WALKS THROUGH THOSE CHANGES.

UH, THEY'VE ADDED AN AREA SHOWING THE FUTURE WALKING TRAILS AND STIPULATED THAT THEY HAVE TO BE COMPLETED BY THE LAST CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY.

UH, THEY'RE, UH, PROPOSING TO IMPROVE THE EXISTING CHESAPEAKE GATE.

UH, THEY HAVE ADDED THE PERIMETER FENCING THAT'S REQUIRED AND THEY HAVE AGREED TO OBTAIN A FRANCHISE UTILITY APPROVAL OF THE REDUCED SETBACK AND AGREED TO THE SUP FOR THE HOTEL.

UH, THIS IS A CON, A CLEAN VERSION OF THE CONCEPT PLAN.

I'M HAPPY TO WALK THROUGH ANY OF THE OTHER DETAILS OR, UH, CHANGES THEY MADE SINCE THE LAST MEETING.

COUNCIL MEMBER HEAD, YOU DID A GREAT JOB ON THIS.

UH, I THINK JUNIOR WAS PART OF THE MEETINGS TOO, BUT YOU TOOK THE LEAD ON IT.

UM, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HER? WE HAVE A LOT OF SPEAKERS.

UM, YES.

SO THIS OUTLINE AND THE GRASS, THAT'S THE TRAIL.

THIS IS THE GENERAL AREA? YES.

OR I MEAN THE WALKING TRAIL.

THE GENERAL.

UM, I, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.

I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY.

THIS WAS WHAT WE TABLED LAST WEEK AND I KNOW SOME OF THE CITIZENS DID COME OUT AND SPEAK IN, IN APPROVAL OF IT.

SO THAT 3 0 5, UH, WAS WHAT I WAS ABLE TO WORK ON SINCE THEN.

UM, AND YOU MENTIONED THIS LAST WEEK, BUT WE DIDN'T MENTION IT JUST NOW, BUT 3 97 IS THE MAX OF WHAT COULD BE THERE.

SO THAT'S ALMOST A HUNDRED PLUS.

BUT I KNOW WE HAVE SPEAKERS.

AND ALL THE SPEAKERS ARE IN FAVOR OF IT.

SO DON'T ALL OF Y'ALL REPEAT.

UM, YOU CAN EACH HAVE FIVE MINUTES, BUT THERE'S 49 OF YOU AND THERE'S A STARS GAME GOING ON.

SO, UH, HERE WE GO.

BETH STEN HAVIN.

BETH, I MISS YOU.

I WISH YOU HADN'T HAVE RETIRED .

SHE WAS IN CHARGE OF MY TEEN COUNCIL AT THE G-P-I-S-D LEVEL.

DID A GREAT JOB FOR HOW MANY YEARS? HAS MY, SINCE IT STARTED.

WHEN WAS THAT? I TELL YOU, BETH WAS GREAT PROGRAM AND, AND, AND 1217.

HI, I AM BETH RUSTIN HAVEN, 38 0 6 INWOOD COURT HERE IN GRAND PRAIRIE.

WE, UH, LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS OFF

[01:40:01]

OF WOODCREST.

UH, WE WENT TO THE DEVELOPERS', UM, INFORMATIONAL MEETING AND, UH, CAME TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMITTEE.

WE KNOW THAT, UH, PROGRESS IS INEVITABLE AND WE ENJOY EATING AT THE CHICKEN AND PICKLE AND THE NEW LOOP NINE AND EVERYTHING ELSE AS MUCH AS EVERYBODY ELSE.

SO WE WANT, WE KNOW THAT IT'S NOT GONNA JUST STAY WOODED LAND AND WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER GOES IN THERE IS QUALITY.

WE TRUST YOU GUYS TO, UH, ENSURE THAT WITH THE, UM, DEVELOPER'S PLAN, SHOW THE ELEVATION AS YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT.

SO AS YOU'RE THE STREET, WOODCREST WOULD GO DIRECTLY INTO THAT.

SO AS WE PULL OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, WE'RE LOOKING INTO THE APARTMENT COMPLEX AND WE LIKE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT A NICE RESIDENTIAL LOOK AND NOT JUST A, A PARKING GARAGE OR A SEA OF CARS AND A SEA OF CONCRETE.

UM, WITH THE, OUR ONE CONCERN THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS ALL EXPRESSED IS THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT THAT WOULD, UM, THAT, THAT WOULD, IT'S NOT THAT FAR TO THE, TO THE, UH, STOPLIGHT AT WOODCREST AND, UH, AT ROBINSON ROAD AND CROSSLAND.

SO I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THERE'S A POSSIBILITY OF PUTTING A LIGHT IN THERE.

BUT THAT'S, AND BETH, WE, WE TOUCHED ON THAT LAST MEETING.

THAT REQUIRES WARRANTS AFTER IT'S BUILT.

WE CAN'T EVEN DICTATE OR REQUEST WHETHER IT GOES THERE OR NOT.

THEY DO THE STUDY AND IF IT, IF IT WARRANTS IT, WHICH IS FUNNY HOW THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE CALLED WARRANTS, THEY BUILD IT.

IF IT DOESN'T, WE CAN'T.

SO WE'LL BE RUNNING THAT STUDY.

WELL, AND IT'S JUST THE, BECAUSE OF THE CURVE.

SO THAT'S OUR, THAT'S OUR MAIN, UM, THAT'S OUR MAIN CONCERN THERE AS FAR AS THE HOTEL.

AS LONG AS IT IS A QUALITY HOTEL AND YOU KNOW, A NICE RESTAURANT, UM, YOU CAN BUY ME A DRINK THERE, I'LL BE HAPPY TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

IF IT'S, YOU KNOW, THE PANCAKE HOUSE AND THE NO-TILL MOTEL, WE'D RATHER IT NOT, WE DON'T EITHER BE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE KNOW THAT YOU GUYS ARE ALSO, WE TRUST YOU GUYS TO, TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

BUT THE DEVELOPERS HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB WORKING WITH THE, WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND HEARING OUR CONCERNS AND, UM, ADDRESSING THOSE CONCERNS.

SO I JUST WANNA THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR INPUT.

APPRECIATE THAT AND APPRECIATE YOUR MANY YEARS OF SERVICE TO G-P-I-S-D.

JOHN MCDANIEL ON JOHN.

HOW ARE YOU GUYS? WE'RE GREAT.

JOHN MCDANIEL.

I'M A COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE BROKER WITH NI ROBERT LIN.

UM, VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS SIDE.

I ACTUALLY LEASED THE PROPERTY NEXT DOOR FOR THE DEON FAMILY.

AND, UH, I KNOW THIS SITE WELL.

THE DEON'S ACTUALLY LOOKED AT IT SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS AND, AND PASSED ON.

IT JUST 'CAUSE IT'S A VERY CHALLENGING SITE TO DEVELOP.

IT'S, AND, UH, I THINK WHAT MICHAEL'S DONE HERE IS HE'S GOTTEN VERY CREATIVE TO MAKE THIS SITE WORK AND, UH, THINK IT'S GONNA BE A HUGE BENEFIT FOR THE SHOPPING CENTER NEXT DOOR.

AND, UH, HATS OFF TO HIM FOR REALLY PUTTING HIS HEAD, HEAD DOWN AND FIGURING OUT HOW TO MAKE IT WORK.

SO THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT.

YOU BET.

HERE.

SORRY, DON'T RUN OFF.

I HAVE A QUESTION.

JOHN.

SIR JOHN, I HAVE A QUESTION.

I KNOW YOU MENTIONED THE RETAIL SPACE JUST NORTH OF HERE.

WOULD THERE BE LIKE A PEDESTRIAN GATE OR ON THE NORTH SIDE TO GET TO THAT PROPERTY? UH, THE, THE, THE BONDS HAD HAD A GRANT ACCESS FOR THAT AND THEY WERE WILLING TO DO A, UH, BASICALLY AN EMERGENCY EXIT.

BUT I THINK ANYTIME JUST HAVE AN ADDITIONAL PATRONS THERE THAT ARE CLOSE BY.

IT'S GONNA HELP THE HELP THE CENTER.

AND LIKE THE PEDESTRIAN WALK OR NO GATE THAT THEY COULD JUST WALK TO THE, UH, I, I CAN'T RECALL IF THERE IS OR NOT.

I WAS GONNA SAY, I, Y'ALL CAN ANSWER THAT WHEN YOU COME UP.

ADDRESSED TRAFFIC BEFORE.

THANK YOU BERNIE.

HEAT BRINK.

BERNIE, UH, BERNIE, BERNIE HEAT BRINK.

I'M WITH CESO, CIVIL ENGINEERS OF 8,700 FREEPORT PARKWAY, IRVING, TEXAS.

UH, I'M HERE TO, UH, ANSWER QUESTIONS, UH, THAT MAY COME UP RELATED TO THE TRAFFIC.

UH, BUT I REMEMBER YOU WERE THE TRAFFIC GUY.

I, I BUT THAT'S OKAY.

SO JUST A FEW SECONDS.

THAT'S HOW MUCH TIME IT'S GONNA ADD.

BUT WE I THINK WE'RE OKAY ON THE TRAFFIC.

DOING ZONING CASES IN 14 STATES.

THANKS FOR COMING.

JUST IN CASE WE WEREN'T AMY MATTHEWS.

AMY MATTHEWS PASS PASS.

CARRIE CRAWLEY CARL, BUT THAT'S OKAY.

DALLAS, WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.

YOU DO.

I DOUBT THAT.

NO, I I BET IT DIED.

DALLAS, CATHERINE 2201 MAIN STREET.

UH, DALLAS, TEXAS.

I'M THE PRESIDENT OF MASTER PLAY IN TEXAS.

I WAS IN A DIFFERENT CITY LAST TIME WHEN THIS GOT HELD.

SO WE'VE WORKED REALLY HARD ON THIS.

UH, YOU KNOW, WE'VE WE'RE

[01:45:01]

STATES AND I WE'RE A FEDERAL RESERVE REPORTING ENTITY.

I WILL TELL YOU, YOUR CITY IS AN OUTLIER IN THAT RIGHT NOW.

YOU GUYS ARE STILL REALLY AT THE TIP OF THE SPEAR WHERE PEOPLE WANT TO DO THINGS.

I MEAN, MY CLIENT COULD DO ANYTHING IN THE COUNTRY.

HE PICKED GRAND PRAIRIE, HE STAYS IN GRAND PRAIRIE WHEN HE COMES HERE.

THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN, YOU KNOW, I'VE ALWAYS LIKED COMING HERE.

MY DAD LIKED DOING CASES HERE 'CAUSE Y'ALL LIKED DOING PROJECTS.

WE APPRECIATED.

COUNCIL MEMBERS WANTED TO ACTIVELY WORK WITH US.

THIS WAS A GREAT GROUP OF NEIGHBORS.

WE, YOU KNOW, WE HAD A WEBSITE.

WE REALLY TRY TO MEET WITH NEIGHBORS BEFORE WE FILE .

WELL, Y'ALL DID IT RIGHT THOUGH.

GIVE YOURSELF A PAT ON THE BACK.

THAT'S FINE.

I WON'T BREAK MY ARM.

BUT WE, WE TRY TO DO THAT EVERY TIME BECAUSE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY HELP US LIKE DOING THAT GATE, THE CHESAPEAKE GATE.

WE MIGHT NOT HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT.

THAT'S GONNA BE GOOD FOR OUR RENTERS.

THAT WHEN OUR PROSPECTIVE RENTERS, WHEN THEY COME UP, THEY WILL SAY, THIS IS FIRST CLASS.

SO THIS IS GONNA RENT AT THE HIGHEST VALUES.

AND I THINK IF YOU READ MY DALLAS MORNING NEWS COLUMNS, RENTERS, THESE ARE THE KIND OF RENTERS YOU WANNA CAPTURE.

THESE ARE PEOPLE, MANY OF THEM, THEY'LL HAVE ALREADY OWNED A HOME IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT THEY WANNA STAY HERE.

BUT OTHER PEOPLE ARE YOUNGER AFFLUENT PEOPLE.

THEY'RE GONNA BE HOME BUYERS AND THEY'RE GONNA GET THEIR KIDS IN SCHOOL MAYBE, OR GO TO CHURCH HERE.

THIS IS GONNA RENT AT A PRICE WHERE THESE PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD HOMES.

AND WE'VE FIGURED OUT A WAY TO GO FROM 400 UNITS TO 300 UNITS.

AND I CAN TELL YOU I HAVEN'T DONE MANY ZONING CASES IN MY CAREER WHERE I ASK FOR LESS ZONING.

UM, AND A LOT OF THAT IS 'CAUSE WHERE GRAND PRAIRIE IS, IS THAT WE CAN COMMAND FRISCO PRICES, COP L PRICES, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO THINK.

I THINK THOSE ARE GOOD PURE CITIES.

UM, AND SO WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THIS.

WE FIGURED OUT HOW TO, I THINK YOU ASKED US TO REALLY SHARPEN OUR PENCIL.

WE GOT VERY CLOSE.

I MEAN, WE HAD SOME PRETTY SPIRITED DISCUSSIONS LIKE, CAN WE GET TO 3 0 9? AND WE ARE REALLY TO THE EDGE OF WHERE WE ARE.

BUT I THINK THIS IS GONNA PROJECT BE A PROJECT THAT WHEN YOU DRIVE BY IT, YOU'LL BE PROUD YOU WORKED ON IT.

AND I THINK REALLY IMPORTANTLY, THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE, THIS IS REALLY A HOME.

IT'S GONNA BE A REALLY NUANCED COMMUNITY.

UM, AND WE WON'T HAVE HIGH RENTAL TURNOVER.

THIS IS GONNA BE PEOPLE THAT FIT IN AND SHOP AT YOUR PLACES.

AND SO WE APPRECIATE YOU WORKING WITH US, COLLABORATIVE, LIKE COLLABORATIVELY LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO.

SO THANK YOU.

DON'T RUN OFF COUNCIL.

HE, UH, DURING OUR MEETING WE DISCUSSED THE TRAILS.

WE DISCUSSED A LOT ABOUT ACCESS.

UM, I LEARNED ABOUT SOME OF THE FEDERAL LIMITATIONS ON WHY YOU NEEDED TO FLIP THE LOCATION OF RETAIL.

UM, AND I MADE THE REQUEST TO GET DOWN TO 2 95.

I WAS TRYING TO GET YOU UNDER 300, BUT YOU CAME PRETTY CLOSE.

SO I'M, I'M, I THOUGHT WE WERE BUYING A CAR FOR A MINUTE.

, WHAT'S GONNA TAKE TO GET YOU IN THIS CAR, DALLAS? WELL, YOU KNOW, I JUST WANTED TO SQUEEZE ALL THE JUICE OUT FOR OUR CITIZENS.

YOU, YOU, YOU DID.

AND, AND IT'S OKAY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE, WE CAME IN LIKE WE, WE DON'T, I, I DON'T, I MEAN, CARL AND I HAVE DONE A LOT OF MULTIFAMILY CASES ALL OVER THE STATE AND I'VE NEVER THOUGHT PICKING, YOU KNOW, LIKE, OH, LET'S PRETEND WE'RE DOING THREE 50 AND WE'RE REALLY NOT.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S DISINGENUOUS.

I GOTTA COME BACK TO THE WELL OF WITH OTHER CLIENTS.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, THREE 20 I REALLY DID FEEL LIKE WAS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE REDUCTION TO 3 97.

UM, AND WE DIDN'T HAVE A MASSIVE PARKING GARAGE.

UM, AND I, I DO THINK THAT IF I HAD TO DO AGAIN, I PROBABLY WOULD'VE SHOWN MORE SITE PLANS THAT SHOWED WE REALLY COULD DO, WE COULD MAX OUT THIS SITE VERY EASILY.

SO YOU DID, I DON'T THINK YOU BEAT US UP, UH, UH, WHERE WE COULDN'T DO STILL A GOOD PROJECT OR WE'RE DROPPING THE QUALITY, BUT WE'RE BACK, WE'RE DOWN TO A NUMBER NOW WHERE WHEN WE SUBMIT FOR BUILDING PERMIT, WE'RE GONNA BE RIGHT AT THAT NUMBER.

UH, AND AND HAVE A REAL PROJECT THAT'S, YOU KNOW, TO TO, TO YOUR COMMENT.

I WATCHED A VIDEO WHEN PEOPLE DRIVE BY, THEY'RE NOT GONNA FEEL LIKE THIS IS LIKE A GIANT APARTMENT COMPLEX.

IT'S, IT'S, UH, YOU KNOW, IT IS OLDER NOW.

IF YOU DRIVE THROUGH THE VILLAGE IN DALLAS AND A LOT OF THAT WAS BUILT IN THE SIXTIES, PEOPLE STILL DRIVE BY AND HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT.

OUR GRANDSON LIVES THERE NOW.

EVERY, EVERYONE'S REQUIRED.

AND WE BURIED DR.

MCINALLY JUST THE OTHER DAY.

HE AND HIS WIFE STARTED OUT THERE.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE WANT.

IT'S A TIME TIMELESS.

THAT'S RIGHT.

AND, AND YOU DO THAT BY, WE, WE HAVE SOMEHOW FIGURED OUT HOW TO USE A REALLY HARD SITE TO OUR ADVANTAGE WHERE WE THINK RENTERS WILL, WILL RESPOND TO THAT AND THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'RE AT A HOME INSTEAD OF BEING AT AN APARTMENT COMPLEX.

WELL, I'VE GOT SOME MORE QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

WELL, AND I'M LEADING UP TO THE QUESTIONS.

ON THE INSIDE AS WELL AS THE AMENITIES, UM, ON THE PROPERTY? SO, OKAY, GOOD.

SO WE TALKED ABOUT ALL THE EXTERIOR, BUT WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THE INTERIOR.

CAN YOU DISCUSS THE FINISHINGS

[01:50:01]

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

SO YOU WE'RE GONNA RENT AT A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER PRICE.

SO SOME OF THAT IS, IS THAT, YOU KNOW, AND, AND I, AND I'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN A LOT OF CITIES OR AT A PA CONFERENCES THAT, AND, AND I'VE GOT A DAUGHTER THAT'S LOOKING AT COLLEGES.

IF YOU'RE OUT AND, AND THAT'S MY WIFE'S BUSINESS IS COLLEGE ADVISING.

INTERESTINGLY, MY DAUGHTER DOESN'T LISTEN TO MY WIFE AT ALL.

I LOVE THIS 'CAUSE IT MAKES DAD AN EXPERT.

COLLEGES NOW ARE IN AN ARMS RACE ON HOW NICE THEIR DORMITORIES ARE.

THEY ALL HAVE STAINLESS AND THEY DON'T SHARE BATHROOMS AND THESE THINGS.

SO KIDS THAT ARE GRAD, GRADUATING COLLEGE DO NOT MIGRATE TO CRUMMY APARTMENTS NOW.

SO TO RESPOND TO THE MARKET AND WE'RE LOOKING AT DIFFERENT KINDS OF PEOPLE.

WE WANT YOUNG PROFESSIONALS AND FORMER HOMEOWNERS.

SO THOSE ARE ALL PEOPLE THAT UNDERSTAND.

I'M GONNA, IF YOU'RE GOING FROM A HOME, YOU STILL ARE GONNA WANT TO HAVE THE STAINLESS, THE GRANITE CABINETS THAT ARE NOT, YOU KNOW, OF A, THEY WANT TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NICE GRADE OF CABINETRY.

THE FLOORS ARE GONNA BE NICE.

YOU HAVE WASHER AND DRYER.

THOSE ARE ALL THINGS WE'RE GONNA HAVE.

PLUS, YOU KNOW, ALL THESE APARTMENTS NOW ARE IN AN ARMS RACE WITH EACH OTHER WHERE THEY'RE ALL GRADED ONLINE.

PEOPLE DON'T GO LOOK AT APARTMENTS BY TAKING TOURS.

IT'S ALL DONE ONLINE.

AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT WHAT ARE THE COMMON SPACES WHERE I, WHERE I CAN WORK? WHAT'S THE WIFI CONNECTEDNESS? THOSE ARE ALL THINGS WE ANTICIPATE FOR SURE.

BEING THE BEST ON EVERY ONE OF THOSE CATEGORIES IN THIS MICRO AREA.

SO THIS IS GONNA BE EVERY ONE OF THESE KID, THESE YOUNG PEOPLE IN THEIR TWENTIES AND THIRTIES, THEY'RE KIDS TO ME, I'M IN MY FIFTIES.

UM, THEY WANT THAT HGTV EXPERIENCE.

THEY WANT, YOU KNOW, CHIP AND JOANNA WITH THE SUPER COOL HOUSE.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DELIVERING.

AND YOU KNOW, MICHAEL'S IN A GOOD POSITION HERE BEING KIND OF THE LAST ONE IN THIS MICRO MARKET.

SOME OF THESE OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE ALREADY BUILT HERE ARE ALSO CLIENTS.

THEY BUILT AS THEY WERE PROVING UP THIS KIND OF AREA.

HE'S AT THE END, HE'S GONNA CHARGE THE BIGGEST PRICE.

SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE BEST FLOORS, YOU KNOW, ALL ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES.

THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE CAN MAKE LESS UNITS WORK.

IF WE HAD COME IN AND BUILT 397, WE WOULD'VE PROBABLY TRIED TO DO IT BASED ON VOLUME, NOT QUALITY.

HE'S DOING IT ON QUALITY, NOT VOLUME, WHICH I'D SAY IS PROBABLY BETTER FOR YOU GUYS.

I MEAN, WITH THE GARAGES, IT'S NOT ANY ONE OF THESE THINGS FOR APARTMENTS.

IT'S THE COLLECTIVE POINT OF ALL OF THEM MAKE FOR RISING TIDE LIFTS THE SHIP.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? IT DOES.

I'M GLAD THAT'S GONNA BE UPSCALE.

WHAT IS THE VISION FOR THE RESTAURANT AND HOTEL? PEOPLE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE HOTEL.

WELL, I'M, I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE HOTEL INDUSTRY.

YOU KNOW, IT USED TO ACCOUNT FOR 15% OF OUR BUSINESS AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE DOWN AT UNDER 5%.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE FIGHTING A LOT OF HEADWIND ON, ON HOTEL AND, AND RESTAURANT.

I THINK THIS IS A, WE WE ALSO HAVE THE LARGEST, UH, TABC LICENSING FIRM IN NORTH TEXAS.

SO, SO, UM, WE DO A LOT OF RESTAURANT WORK.

THEY ALSO ARE HAVING A HARD TIME, I THINK BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THIS IS ON A WALKABLE AREA WITH THE TRAILS, THE, THE, THE THE FLOODPLAIN MAKES FOR A REALLY NICE AREA.

YOU CAN GET A GOOD FLAG HERE.

UM, OVER TIME.

I DON'T THINK IT'S GONNA COME RIGHT NOW.

AND THAT'S WHY WE WERE COMFORTABLE SAYING, WE'LL DO AN SUP.

WE UNDERSTAND, WE CAN'T TELL HERE.

AND LET'S REMEMBER THE SUP GIVES US SOME RIGHTS.

SO YOU, YOU DON'T NEED TO TELL US WHICH ONE IT IS, BUT I'M TELLING YOU, WE WON'T APPROVE A BAD ONE.

AND, AND WE UNDERSTOOD THAT BY AGREEING TO THIS ORDINANCE THAT WE'VE GOTTA COME IN, RIGHT? AND, AND FOR US TO MAKE THE DEAL WORK, WE'VE GOTTA FIND A GOOD ENOUGH FLAG THAT ATTRACTS A GOOD RESTAURANT RESTAURANT.

I MEAN, I REMEMBER A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO I DID ONE IN COLLEYVILLE.

I THINK I HOPEFULLY Y'ALL WOULD AGREE THAT'S A, A GOOD, GOOD CITY.

AND WE ENDED UP WITH, UH, THE, UH, A HAMPTON, A VERY NICE HAMPTON NEXT TO A LA HACIENDA.

GOOD COMBINATION.

THOSE THINGS WORK WELL TOGETHER.

AND WE WERE ABLE TO CONVINCE THE CITY NOT AN EASY PLACE TO GET HIS ZONING CASE DONE.

THAT EVEN THOUGH HAMPTON DOESN'T HAVE A RESTAURANT WHICH THEY WOULD'VE LOVED, THEY WERE DELIGHTED TO HAVE A HIGH VOLUME, HIGH QUALITY TEX-MEX PLACE THAT ALSO INVENTED THE MARGARITA, FROZEN MARGARITA.

SO, UM, YOU KNOW, I, STEVE, I THINK THAT THAT, THAT WE, IT'S, IT'S JUST, IT'S HARD TO PREDICT WHICH HOTEL, BUT WE UNDERSTAND WE GOTTA GET A, WE GOTTA GET A WINNER.

COUNCIL MEMBER.

YOU GOT COUNCILMAN NU THANK YOU MAYOR.

AND UH, THANK YOU MR. DALLAS FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

I APPRECIATE YOU AND YOUR GROUP FOR WORKING IN GOOD FAITH WITH, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER HEON AND I APPRECIATE HER LEADERSHIP.

AND, UH, I DON'T BELIEVE WE, YOU WERE ON THE MEETING THAT WE WERE ON THE ZOOM CALL A FEW DAYS AGO.

NO, IT WAS MY WIFE'S BIRTHDAY.

SHE DID.

AND WE WERE ON VACATION.

SHE SAID THAT THAT SHE OUTRANKED YOU.

[01:55:01]

UM, SO I, I APPRECIATE Y'ALL GETTING IT DOWN TO 3 0 5, WHICH IS ABOUT 92, UH, APARTMENT UNITS LESS AND ALSO AGREEING TO THE SVP FOR THE HOTEL.

MY QUESTION NOW, UM, IS WHAT YOU KEEP SAYING THAT THIS IS GONNA BE A REALLY HIGH QUALITY APARTMENTS.

WHAT NUMBER ARE YOU LOOKING AT FOR A PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT FOR THESE APARTMENTS? FOR RENT? I THINK MICHAEL COULD PROBABLY SPEAK TO THAT BETTER THAN I CAN SINCE HE'S, IT'S HE'S THE ONE TAKING ALL THE RISKS.

IS THAT OKAY? OKAY.

SOUNDS GOOD.

HANG ON.

DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR HIM? UH, IT COULD BE MICHAEL.

I'LL JUST INTERESTING ARTICLE YOU WROTE IN THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS.

WHICH ONE THAT DOING WORK WITH DALLAS IS A PAIN.

IT IT IS.

UH, IT IS.

OH, I THOUGHT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF.

MY FOUR MICHAEL, MY 14-YEAR-OLD YOUTH BASEBALL TEAM MIGHT TELL YOU THAT ABOUT WHO I ASK.

MICHAEL, YOUR TURN MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

UH, MICHAEL RAMSEY, 15.

RICHARD ARRINGTON JR.

BOULEVARD IN BIRMINGHAM.

UM, AND, AND, UH, COUNCILMAN IS ON YOU TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, OUR RENTS ARE IN THE 1700, UH, UH, DOLLAR RANGE.

OUR AVERAGE UNIT IS GONNA BE ABOUT 950 SQUARE FEET.

UH, SO THE, SO THE MATH THERE IS JUST UNDER $2 A SQUARE FOOT IS THE RENT THAT WE'RE TARGETING.

AND, AND THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME.

UM, SEVERAL OF YOU, UH, COUNCILMAN IS ON YOU AND COUNCILMAN HEDON IN PARTICULAR.

YOU, YOU ALL CHALLENGED US.

AND, AND REALLY BECAUSE OF THAT, OUR, OUR SITE PLAN AND OUR PRODUCT AND THE LUXURY APARTMENTS THAT, THAT WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO BUILD AND OFFER AT THE END OF THE DAY IS, IS TRULY BETTER.

DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TIM LOPEZ HAS SOMETHING FOR YOU.

SURE, YEAH.

CURIOUS ON THAT NORTH SIDE, ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, IS THERE LIKE A PEDESTRIAN GATE OR WE WILL, UH, WE, I WAS TRYING TO YELL IT OUT IN THE BACKGROUND.

WE WILL HAVE THAT PEDESTRIAN ACCESS GATE.

AND SO IF THERE'S, THANK YOU.

IF THERE, THERE'S AN EMERGENCY GATE THERE AND THEN WE'LL ALSO HAVE A PEDESTRIAN HAVE A PEDESTRIAN NEXT.

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

'CAUSE WE DO WANT 'EM TO WALK.

THEY GO BATH PRO SHOPPING, COME BACK AND YEAH.

AND WE DO TOO.

THAT'S, THAT'S A VALUE ADD FOR US IN OUR RESIDENT.

SO FAST PRO, THEY MAY HELP PUT THE GATE IN.

ANYBODY GOT ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR COUNCIL MEMBER COPELAND? SO I TOO WANT TO CONGRATULATE COUNCILWOMAN HEDEN.

UH, YOUR ORIGINAL PROPOSAL WAS FOR 320 UNITS.

WE TABLED AFTER AN HOUR DISCUSSION.

UH, I WASN'T SUPPORTIVE OF THE TABLE 'CAUSE I THOUGHT WE HAD DONE EVERYTHING THAT WE COULD.

IT'S BEEN A LONG YEAH, THIS GAVE YOU QUITE A SHOCK.

MY QUESTION IS, AFTER ANOTHER HOUR TONIGHT, WE'RE LOSING TIME ON, ON THOSE 15 UNITS THAT YOU WERE, THAT YOU CAME DOWN, DID THAT CHANGE THE FOOTPRINT ANY AT ALL? IT, IT DID.

UH, AND IT WILL.

SO, AND WE'LL, WE'LL GIVE THAT DETAIL OF THE SITE PLAN, APPROVAL PROCESS.

YOU DON'T NEED TO EXPLAIN IT TONIGHT.

NO, BUT I DO WANT TO ASK, I I BELIEVE SAVANNAH SAID YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD A FENCE HERE, WHICH WAS MY REQUEST, CORRECT.

ALONG THE WHOLE SOUTHERN PROPERTY SO PEOPLE WILL NOT BE CROSSING THE CHESAPEAKE ROAD.

THANK YOU FOR WORKING WITH YOU.

AND I THINK THAT YOU HAVE DEMONSTRATED EVERYTHING A DEVELOPER COULD DO THAT YOU WANT TO BE A, A GOOD MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY.

SO THANK YOU.

WELL, WE WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, UH, PENDING TONIGHT'S VOTE AND WE DO APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY.

I'LL SAY ONE OTHER THING THAT DIDN'T COME UP.

HE'S NOT A SELLER.

THIS IS NOT A MERCHANT BUILDER.

HE'S GONNA OWN IT AND, AND CONTINUE TO OPERATE THE THING.

AND I, I BELIEVE THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

IT DOES, UH, FOR PEOPLE.

HE'S A YOUNG GUY.

UH, HE PICKED YOUR COMMUNITY REALLY WANTS TO BE IN IT.

I THINK IT REALLY SPEAKS A LOT THAT HE WAS ABLE TO, HE BELIEVES ENOUGH IN HIS PROJECT, HE WAS ABLE TO LOSE 15 MORE UNITS BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE'LL CAPTURE THOSE RENTS OVER MANY TIMES.

SO I, I LIKE HELPING THESE YOUNGER CLIENTS NOW I I THAT REALLY DO.

AND LIKE HE SENT A THANK YOU NOTE TO ALL THE NEIGHBORS THAT COME.

JUST A GUY THAT DOES THINGS THE RIGHT WAY AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE PROUD TO REPRESENT HIM.

WANNA DO MORE WORK FOR HIM IN OTHER CITIES.

THANK YOU DALLAS.

THIS IS HIS FIRST ONE.

TELL YOU THE HOTEL'S GONNA BE A BIGGER INVESTOR.

COUNCIL MEMBER HEAD.

UM, I JUST WANNA CONFIRM.

SO, SO THE RESTAURANT ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT COME FIRST.

YOU'LL NEED A HOTEL FIRST.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S AN INTERESTING QUESTION.

UM, I, I, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S OWNER DRIVEN.

I MEAN, I, I COULD ACTUALLY, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT.

YOU COULD SEE A RESTAURANT GO THERE.

UM, YOU KNOW, I EVEN TALKED TO THIS SITE, SITE WITH THE, THE, THE, UM, A GUY I COACH BASEBALL WITH IS THE CHEDDAR'S FAMILY.

AND THEY'VE GOT A NEW CONCEPT CALLED COOK SHP.

THE CHEDDAR, UH, THEY, THEY'VE ALWAYS DONE REALLY WELL HERE.

AND I SHOWED HIM THIS SITE AND YOU KNOW, HE IS LIKE, WELL, YOU KNOW, AS THE ECONOMY IMPROVES, YOU COULD, BUT THEN YOU'VE GOT THE KIND OF CHICKEN AND THE EGG THING.

THE RESTAURANT WOULD THEN HAVE TO BE ATTRACTIVE TO THE HOTEL.

SO REALLY WE NEED TO DO THIS ALMOST AT THE SAME TIME WHERE BOTH OF THEM ARE DOING IT.

AND I WOULD

[02:00:01]

SO I THINK IT'S MOST LIKELY YOU GET HOTEL FIRST WITH RESTAURANT.

THAT MAKES SENSE.

INSTEAD OF THE OTHER WAY, JUST FROM A RISK STANDPOINT.

AND HOW LONG, UH, FROM THE START OF CONSTRUCTION WILL THIS PROJECT TAKE BEFORE YOU'RE MOVING TENANTS IN? SO FIRST TENANTS, YEAH.

SO OUR FIRST TENANTS WILL BE IN ABOUT MONTH 16, AND OUR LAST TENANTS WILL BE IN BY MONTH 24.

OKAY, GOOD.

WE'RE READY FOR OUR BUILDING PERMIT TONIGHT.

WE'LL SEE IF WE EVEN GET THIS PASSED.

OH, OKAY.

I THINK IT WILL, BUT LET'S SEE.

I'M JUST TEASING.

ARE YOU READY FOR A MOTION? I AM.

WELL, I'M READY FOR ONE AND I CAN DO, UH, BOTH, UH, 40, 45, 46 TOGETHER.

YOU CAN, UH, OKAY.

I MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 45 AND 46.

HMM.

WHAT? OH, I, I WASN'T DONE, BUT I THOUGHT DOES SHE NEED THAT AS AMENDED OR WHAT? WHAT DO STAFF WHAT? LET, LET ME ASK THAT TONIGHT AS PRESENTED TONIGHT.

WELL, OKAY.

LET, UH, WE HAD A QUESTION.

SO GO AHEAD JOHN.

YEAH, I'M SORRY.

JUST CLARIFICATION OR SOMETHING? YEAH.

UM, IT COULD ONLY BE A RESTAURANT.

IT CAN'T BE ANOTHER TYPE OF RETAIL.

IT'S ONLY A RESTAURANT.

AM I CORRECT ON THAT POINT? CORRECT.

AND IT CAN ONLY BE A HOTEL.

SO YOU'VE ALREADY MADE A MOTION JUST ADD TO IT AS PRESENTED TONIGHT? YES.

AS PRESENTED TONIGHT, WHICH INCLUDES, UH, THE WALKING TRAIL, EVERYTHING THAT, THAT INCLUDES EVERYTHING AS PRESENTED.

IS THAT OKAY WITH YOUR SECOND? YES.

GOOD WORK.

WE DON'T LIKE APARTMENTS, BUT IF WE GET APARTMENTS, WE LIKE GOOD ONES AND WE LIKE GOOD OWNERS.

WE'VE APPROVED SOME APARTMENTS RE RECENTLY THAT WE LOVED AND THEN THEY CHANGED OWNERSHIP, WHICH WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH.

WE CANNOT.

I WILL BE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN A FEW YEARS IF I FIND OUT YOU'VE SOLD THIS.

MICHAEL, I WANT YOU TO STAY, WE HAVE A MOTION A SECOND.

I CAN'T THANK THAT PART OF THE MOTION, BUT I JUST, THAT'S ME TO YOU.

WE HAVE A MOTION.

A SECOND.

JUST ANNOUNCED HER RETIREMENT.

AND OPPOSED SAY NAY.

MOTION CARRIES.

THANK Y'ALL VERY MUCH.

NEXT, NEXT ARTICLE.

JUST DALLAS, NEXT ARTICLE JUST SLIPPED.

GREEN PRAIRIE IN THERE.

POSITIVELY.

TRY AND DO THAT FOR YOU.

ALL RIGHT, BUDDY.

I HAD A GOOD ONE LAST THURSDAY ON REFEREES.

YEAH, I BET IT WAS A GOOD ONE.

DO YOU KNOW MEATY NICKS? SHE'S RETIRING.

LONG TIME GRAND PRAIRIE RESIDENT.

WORKED FOR DALLAS MORNING NEWS.

UH, DALLAS MORNING NEWS.

SHE'S A LONG TIME EMPLOYEE THERE.

SHE, SHE'S GRAND PRAIRIE.

JUST ANNOUNCED HER RETIREMENT THIS WEEK.

I THOUGHT HE MAY KNOW HER MEETING, MEETING NICKS.

[Items 47 & 48]

ITEM NUMBER 47 AND 48.

THESE TWO WERE TABLED AT THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

UH, SO THE FIRST COMPONENT IS THE AMEND THE FUTURE LANEY MAP FOR THE AREA SHOWN IN RED ON THE SCREEN FROM MIXED RESIDENTIAL TO HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

AND THEN THE ZONING CHANGE COMPONENT IS TO CREATE A PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR MULTIFAMILY AND SINGLE FAMILY.

UH, UPDATE TO THE PROJECT.

UH, SINCE THE LAST MEETING, THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED NEW CONCEPTUAL BUILDING ELEVATIONS.

THESE WERE INCLUDED IN THE COUNCIL PACKET AND I WILL, UH, SHOW THEM IN A MINUTE.

AND THEN THEY ALSO HAVE INCREASED THE, THE MINIMUM LIVING AREA FROM 1,400 SQUARE FEET TO, UH, FOR 10% OF THE LOTS, 3,200 SQUARE FEET FOR 35% OF THE LOTS AND A RANGE OF 2,700 TO 3000 SQUARE FEET.

AND THEN FOUR 55% OF THE LOTS TO BE 2000 TO 2,500 SQUARE FEET.

UM, SO I WILL GET TO THE UPDATED BUILDING ELEVATIONS AND THEN CAN, UM, TALK TO ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL DETAILS JUST, AND THAT IS THE UPDATES FROM THIS, UH, PAST MEETING.

I CAN WALK THROUGH ANY OTHER ELEMENTS OF THE REQUEST.

I DON'T SEE ANY LIGHTS.

YOU AND WE BEAT THIS ONE UP PRETTY GOOD LAST TIME TOO, A LITTLE BIT.

AND YOU'VE MADE SOME PROGRESS ON THIS ONE TOO.

COUNCIL MEMBER HEADEN.

SO THANK YOU QUAD.

A EVENING.

COUNCIL MEMBERS QUADRA CAMO 44 22.

GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

GOOD

[02:05:01]

TO SEE YOU, SIR.

44, 22 MEADOW HAWK DRIVE.

UH, ARLINGTON, TEXAS.

UH, I THINK SAVANNAH DID A GOOD JOB, UH, PRESENTING THE UPDATES.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE PROGRESS WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE OVER THE PAST TWO WEEKS AND, UM, I'M JUST HERE TO ANSWER ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE, BUT WE'RE, UM, HAPPY TO BE HERE.

I DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, BUT COUNCIL MEMBER HEDEN WILL BE PUTTING SOME THINGS INTO THE MOTION TO TIE DOWN SOME OF THE THINGS Y'ALL HAVE AGREED TO.

SO, UH, THANK YOU.

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU GUYS'.

FLEXIBILITY.

WE, UH, HAD A MEETING.

THEN WE HAD A FOLLOW UP CALL, FOLLOW UP EMAILS, COUNTER, COUNTER, OFFERER COUNTER OFFER.

THEN I THINK WE REACHED, UH, A PROPOSAL THAT THAT WORKED.

APPRECIATE YOU GUYS INCREASING FROM THE MINIMUM 14,000 I THINK SAVANNAH MENTIONED.

UM, AND THEN AN INCREASING 3,200.

I WANT TO NOTE THAT WE ALSO CHANGED THE RATIOS FROM LAST TIME BEFORE THERE WERE 60%, UH, AT THE SMALLEST.

WAS THAT CORRECT? UH, AT THE SMALLEST SQUARE FOOTAGE, 60% OF THE DEVELOPMENT, OR WAS IT MORE OR 65%.

SO THAT, UH, HAS COME DOWN AND WE'VE INCREASED THE, THE PERCENTAGES ON THE MID-SIZE AND THEN ADDED IN 10% ON THE LARGEST.

SO I THINK THAT THIS ACCOMMODATES THE SECOND HOME.

WE, WERE WE USING THAT TERM, UH, THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE MOVING OUTTA GRAND PRAIRIE FOR, BUT ALSO MEETS THE NEED OF THE STARTER HOME ALL IN THE SAME COMMUNITY.

START HOME.

UM, CAN YOU SHARE WHAT ARE, WHAT ARE THE PRICE POINTS? UH, SO AGAIN, LIKE YOU SAID, YOU KNOW, WE, BECAUSE OF THE INCREASE TO THE SQUARE FOOTAGES, I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT STARTING IN THE HIGH FOURS.

UM, CAN'T REALLY LOCK IN A NUMBER JUST 'CAUSE YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT GONNA BE DELIVERING THESE LOTS UNTIL, UM, YOU KNOW, EARLY 2025.

SO AGAIN, JUST REALLY, YOU KNOW, KIND OF FORWARD LOOKING.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK IF THINGS STAY THE SAME, UH, MARKET WISE, YOU KNOW, WE'LL PROBABLY BE THE HIGH FORCE FOR THE STARTING, UM, THE 2000 SQUARE FOOT HOMES.

AND, UH, SAVANNAH WENT THROUGH THE NEW ARCHITECTURE, UH, ARCHITECTURAL FINISHES AND THE COLOR IS DIFFERENT.

IT WAS MORE OF A BROWN PALETTE.

NOW YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF WHITE, IT JUST LOOKS TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

CORRECT? YES.

WE'RE, WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

AND I WISH WE, UM, I DON'T KNOW IF, IF THEY REALLY TOOK IT IN, IT WAS SO FAST, BUT IT REALLY LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

YES, MA'AM.

THANK YOU SIR.

ANDREW WILEY GOT ANYTHING TO ADD? ONLY IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU ALL FOR WORKING WITH US.

THE, UH, AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SITES THAT WE HAD A LITTLE BIT MORE LEVERAGE ON , YOU KNOW, SOME PIECES OF THE PROPERTY WE HAD DON'T HAVE MUCH LEVERAGE.

THIS ONE WE DID.

I DON'T KNOW WHY IT WAS ZONED THE WAY IT WAS.

IT WAS KIND OF HARD TO DO ANYTHING ANYBODY WANTED THERE.

AND SO I'M GLAD WE WERE ABLE TO WORK OUT SOMETHING THAT CAN BENEFIT US.

AND Y'ALL.

SO I'M READY FOR A MOTION.

UM, RASHAD, SO THE PERCENTAGES ON THE HOUSE SIZES AND THE NEW SIZE MINIMUMS, ALL OF THAT.

CAN I JUST SAY AS PRESENTED BY STAFF OR DO I NEED TO STATE THAT AS PRESENTED BY STAFF WILL WORK.

I MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 47 AND 48.

UH, WITH THE STANDARDS PRESENTED BY STAFF, WE HAVE MOTION TO SECOND.

AND THANK Y'ALL FOR COMING.

I AIN'T OPPOSED SAY NAY.

MOTION CARRIES.

GO AHEAD, RASHAD MAYOR.

UM, BRING BEFORE COUNCIL TONIGHT.

UM, PROPOSE PLAN DEVELOPMENT FOR THE DOWNTOWN AREA, SPECIFICALLY FOR CITY OWNED PROPERTY.

UM, MUCH OF THIS AREA IS ZONED CENTRAL AREA, UH, AND DOESN'T ALIGN WITH THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN THAT THE CITY ADOPTED BACK IN 2019.

UH, WE AS MENTIONED, UH, AT BRIEFING TODAY, WE HAVE QUITE A BIT GOING ON DOWNTOWN AND HAVE FUTURE PLANS FOR DOWNTOWN.

AND THIS IS JUST INTENDED TO GET US PREPARED FOR THAT FUTURE CONSTRUCTION.

MUCH OF THIS WILL BE, UH, MUCH OF THE REGULATIONS IN THE DOCUMENT WILL HELP DICTATE WHAT'S DEVELOPED, UM, IN THE FUTURE.

UH, WE'LL, WE'LL, NOT REALLY CONSTRAINED TOO MUCH OF WHAT'S BEING, UH, DEVELOPED RIGHT NOW, UM, AS FAR AS USES ARE CONCERNED.

SO I'M HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

UM, ANYTHING THAT'S NOT NOTED IN THE PD FALLS TO THE EXISTING ZONING, THE BASE ZONING DISTRICT, WHICH IS CENTRAL AREA.

SO THOSE USES THAT ARE STILL THERE WILL STILL BE ALLOWED.

SO YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT THIS OUR VISION, THIS COVERS OUR VISION? YES, SIR.

[02:10:01]

IN PREVIOUS, UM, PRESENTATIONS FOR THIS CASE, YOU HAD, UH, THREE CHANGES TO THE PD.

UM, THAT WAS, UH, CERTAIN USES, FOR EXAMPLE, UM, CONVENIENCE STORE WITHOUT GAS, THERE WAS PRE-PACKAGED RESTAURANT AND, UH, DENTAL OFFICE.

AS WE I'M GO.

IS THAT NOT, NOT NOTED HERE OR IS THAT, DID YOU REMOVE THOSE CHANGES? WHAT'S, WHERE, WHERE'D THAT GO? THOSE CHANGES ARE IN THE LAND USE CHART HERE AS I'M SHOWING HERE, UM, AS IT WAS MOVED FORWARD AND WE'RE DISCUSSING WITH STAKEHOLDERS, THEY WANTED TO ADD ADDITIONAL USES TO THE LAND USE CHART.

SO STAFF HAS MADE THOSE CHANGES.

UM, NOTING THAT MUCH OF THIS IS INTENDED TO BE, UH, DIRECTED TOWARD THE FUTURE ENTERTAINMENT.

UM, THERE WAS SOME CONCERN, THAT'S WHY THEY WERE LEFT OUT TO BEGIN WITH THOSE USERS YOU'RE SPEAKING ABOUT.

UM, BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO CONSIDER THOSE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES THAT ARE GONNA BE NEEDED FOR THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE GONNA BE POSSIBLY BEING, UH, AT THE CALVARY BAPTIST SITE.

THAT, THAT ANSWERED MY QUESTION.

THANK YOU, RASHAD.

UM, AND, AND MY COMMENT WOULD BE THAT, UM, BETWEEN COMMENTS, UH, FEEDBACK AND DESIRED USES FROM, UM, RESIDENTS, PEOPLE, CITIZENS OF GRAND PRAIRIE THAT I SPEAK WITH, UH, DENTAL OFFICES AND CONVENIENCE STORES WITHOUT GAS PROBABLY ARE THE TWO HIGHEST COMPLAINTS I GET.

ADDITIONALLY, IF YOU GO TO GO THROUGH MY DISTRICT, THOSE ARE THE ITEMS THAT, UM, ARE ABUSED, UH, BY THE OPERATOR IN TAKING CARE OF THE PLACE.

SO WITH THOSE ADDED, I, I PERSONALLY WILL NOT BE SUPPORTING THOSE.

WHY DON'T YOU MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE WITHOUT THOSE TWO ADDED AND SEE IF THAT PASSES.

I WILL NOTE THAT AS YOU NOTE, UH, I DON'T WANT ANOTHER DEMO'S OFFICE.

WE GOT TOO MANY NOW.

I AGREE WITH YOU.

I'VE MADE THOSE SUP REQUIREMENTS THOUGH.

I UNDERSTAND.

OH, OH SUP REQUIREMENTS.

SO WE CAN STILL DENY 'EM.

COLD.

THEY MAY NEVER COME BEFORE US.

JUST DON'T KILL SOMETHING.

WE MAY MAY NEVER HAVE TO.

SO YOU SAID CONVENIENCE STORE, WHICH IS LOADED, NOTED HERE.

UM, AND A DENTIST'S OFFICE.

WHAT WAS, AND, AND, AND THE RESTAURANT DIDN'T STICK OUT, BUT IT WAS SOMETHING ABOUT PREPACKAGED FOOD OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES.

YES, THAT WAS, UH, I'M TRYING TO FIND IT.

I'LL GET YOU COUNCIL MEMBER HEADING NEXT AFTER WE GET THROUGH WITH THIS.

ARTESIAN MANUFACTURING WAS STOREFRONT, UH, THAT'S INTENDED TO ADDRESS, UM, THOSE TYPE OF USES THAT WILL MANUFACTURE WHAT THEY'RE SELLING IN THE STOREFRONT IN THE FRONT, BUT STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS IN THE BACK.

BUT YOU'RE NOT TALKING A MAJOR MANUFACTURER.

YOU'RE TALKING, WHY WOULDN'T WE WANT THAT? EXACTLY.

THIS IS, BUT THAT'S NOT NOTED ON OUR LAND USE CHART.

SO WE THIS WOULD ALLOW IT, YES.

BECAUSE THAT, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THEY DO ON THOSE TYPE OF STOREFRONTS.

SUPPOSEDLY, I DON'T KNOW, BUT THAT'S WHAT Y'ALL TOLD ME.

AND SO THIS WOULD BE A THAT CLARIFY.

AND, AND MAYOR, I'M, I'M A LITTLE STUCK HERE AND AND YOU GUYS CAN OUT VOTE ME ON THIS.

I'M NOT GONNA, IT'S NOT GONNA HURT MY FEELINGS.

BUT YOU KNOW, WE, WE HAVE THE CONVENIENCE STORE WITHOUT GAS AND THE GUY SHOWED A BUILDING, DOES IT REQUIRE AN SUP? THE GUY SHOWED A BUILDING.

IT REQUIRES AN SUP TOO.

YEAH, EXACTLY.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING.

AND THE GUY SHOWED A BUILDING THAT HE DREW AND SAID, THIS IS GONNA BE NICE.

AND Y'ALL SAID, OKAY.

AND THAT WAS IN MY DISTRICT, IN A PLACE WHERE CON CONVENIENCE STORES ARE CURRENTLY BEING ABUSED.

AND SO IF I'M TRYING TO DO THINGS TO BETTER, I UNDERSTAND MY BUSINESS OPERATORS, MY RESIDENTS, UH, IT'S JUST GONNA BE TOUGH FOR ME, UH, TO GO THROUGH THAT.

HOWEVER, THROUGH SUP IS THE IDEAL SITUATION.

SO IF THIS COUNCIL IS HERE, WHEN THE NEXT CONVENIENCE STORE COME WITHOUT GAS COMES THROUGH FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, I CHALLENGE YOU TO MAKE IT, UM, UP TO OUR GRAND PRAIRIE STANDARDS.

I WOULD AGREE.

ESPECIALLY AT THAT LOCATION.

I LIKE THE STANDARDS OF THE ONE WE APPROVED.

SO I DON'T WANT TO GET CONFUSED BETWEEN THE TWO PLACES, COLE.

I IF THIS ONE, IF SOMEONE PRESENTS AN SUP SOMEWHERE ELSE, I THINK THIS COUNCIL WILL LOOK AT THAT ON WHERE IT'S LOCATED AND MAKE A DECISION.

I LIKE THE IDEA THAT IT'S AN SUP AND, UH, I'VE GOT SOME OTHER QUESTIONS.

IF, IF YOU'RE OKAY FOR ME TO MOVE DOWN THE LINE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

UH, COUNCIL MEMBER HEADEN.

OR IS IT JUST ALL SU UNDER SUP UM, TRIED TO ADDRESS THOSE USES WITH A SUP, THOSE USES THAT WE FELT LIKE WERE COMPLETELY OUT OF LINE WITH THE DOWNTOWN AREA.

SO IS THERE, AND I MIGHT HAVE MISSED IT, IS THERE, ARE THERE ANY USES WHERE BANNING OR DIS DISALLOWING

[02:15:01]

THEY'VE ACTUALLY, PRIOR TO THIS WE DID A CENTRAL AREA LAND USE CHART UPDATE FOR THE ENTIRE, UH, LAND USE CHART FOR THOSE SPECIFIC USES.

SO THAT'S LIKE YOUR, YOUR WAREHOUSE USES THAT WE COUNT CURRENTLY HAVE DOWNTOWN THAT WE'RE TRYING TO TRANSITION TO MORE ENTERTAINMENT REGIONAL DESTINATION.

UH, SO WE WENT AHEAD AND DID THAT.

SO ANY USE THAT IS NOT MENTIONED IN THIS CHART FOR THE PD AND IT NOTES THAT THOSE SAME REGULATIONS SHALL BE FOLLOWED THAT ARE IN THE UDC.

SO WE WANT TO GET THAT CORRECT FIRST AND THEN THIS DELVES DEEPER INTO THIS SPECIFIC AREA.

SO WAREHOUSES WOULD BE AN EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING NOT ALLOWED AT ALL.

SO I DID HAVE A COUPLE OF, UH, CATEGORIES.

UM, I'M SEEING A LOT OF TAX OFFICES.

IT'S REALLY COUNCIL PREFERENCE.

AND I DON'T THINK I SAW THAT ON HERE.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.

PAWN SHOPS CURRENCY EXCHANGE WAS AUTO REPAIR ON HERE.

NO, ALREADY AS SUP.

AND UNFORTUNATELY DON, LEMME ASK YOU A QUESTION.

WHY CAN'T WE MAKE EVERYTHING SUP BAM? I MEAN, I'VE HEARD THAT EVERYTHING IN COLLEYVILLE HAS TO HAVE AN SUP EVERY RETHINK.

GANG .

I'M SORRY.

I'VE WORKED AT MULTIPLE CITIES.

MAYOR, WE'LL GO BACK TO STAFF.

I JUST TAKE CARE OF THIS.

YOU KNOW, WE WON'T PUT ON INTERNET UNFORTUNATELY.

I, BUT THE POINT IS, THERE'S THINGS ON THAT LIST THAT WE CAN'T THINK OF NOW THAT WE DON'T WANT.

THAT'S TRUE.

AND THE NIGHT THEY BRING 'EM FORWARD, WE'LL KNOW WE DON'T WANT 'EM.

UNFORTUNATELY.

YOU UNDERSTAND? THAT'S ANOTHER STEP.

I DON'T CARE.

IN THE PROCESS IT'S OUR DOWNTOWN.

FOR DOWNTOWN.

I GET, BUT I'M NOT GONNA DO THIS FOR THE WHOLE CITY.

THIS IS, I CAN'T DO THAT TONIGHT.

THE, FOR THIS MOTION.

THE CITY YOU MENTIONED THEY DO IT FOR THE ENTIRE CITY.

AND WE MAY DO THAT AT ANOTHER MEETING.

I'M TIRED OF SO MANY LIQUOR STORES, RIGHT.

AND DENTIST OFFICES.

OH MY GOD.

NO.

THAT IS ANOTHER WHOLE LAYER.

AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT? BUT I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE FOR THIS LOCATION RIGHT HERE.

WHY DON'T WE REQUIRE SUPPORT THAT I WOULD TOO.

JUST FOR THIS.

JUST FOR THIS DEPUTY MAYOR PROTE .

WE'RE GOING THAT ROUTE.

THAT ANSWER MY QUESTION? GOOD.

LET'S MOVE ON.

UH, COLE, I'M VERY COMFORTABLE AND I THINK YOU'LL GET FULL SUPPORT WITH YOUR MOTION TO PROVE THIS, BUT ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE APARTMENTS AND WHAT ELSE REQUIRES AN SUP? WELL, THE, THE HARD THING RIGHT NOW IS THERE'S A MULTITUDE OF USES IN A CENTRAL AREA DISTRICT IN THE UDC LAND USE CHARGE.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT.

THAT'S NOT MY QUESTION.

WELL, THAT, THAT'S, I I WANT EVERYTHING THAT GOES IN AND AROUND THAT APARTMENT COMPLEX TO REQUIRE AN SUP, WHETHER IT'S A SELLING YARN, A COFFEE SHOP, A TATTOO VENDOR, A LIQUOR STORE, A DENTIST.

SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING HIGHLIGHTED RIGHT HERE.

THE URBAN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT? NO, JUST THIS PD.

NOT, I'M NOT TRYING TO CHANGE THE CENTRAL AREA AREA.

I'M, I'M TALKING ABOUT THIS PD.

THIS PLAN DEVELOPMENT FOR THIS TONIGHT.

WE COULD ONLY STIPULATE THIS FOR THESE PROPERTIES.

NOW ANYTHING.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF IT.

THIS CASE.

BUT SO DOES THAT MEAN THE EXISTING BUSINESSES HIGHLIGHTED RIGHT HERE NOW HAVE TO COME BEFORE US FOR AN SUP? ANY USE? I WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND SEE ANY, NO.

WELL GRANDFATHER THEM.

THEY'LL BE, THEY'LL BE GRANDFATHERED, BUT THEY ARE LIVE DORMANT FOR MORE THAN SIX MONTHS.

IT'LL HAVE TO COME BACK THROUGH THE PROCESS.

LIKE THE, IF NO, IT'S NOT ALL CITY OWNED.

ISN'T THE SONIC IN THERE? YEAH, SONIC.

THAT'S THE ONLY THING.

BUT IT'S NOT ALL CITY ON IT.

YES, YOUR HONOR.

THE SONIC DOESN'T HAVE TO COME TO US FOR THE SUP.

IF THEY TEAR IT DOWN AND IT STAYS VACANT FOR SIX MONTHS, WHOEVER COMES IN, THERE'S GONNA HAVE TO ASK FOR AN SUP.

DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? YES, SIR.

ARE WE GOOD? JUST THIS RIGHT HERE.

I'M NOT GONNA SAY WE'RE DOING IT EVERYWHERE.

DEPUTY MAYOR, YOU WANNA MAKE A MOTION? YES.

SO STAFF WILL GO THROUGH THE, THE RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE APPROVAL WITH ANY, ANY USE NOTED IN THE LANE USE CHART REQUIRES AN SUP.

THANK YOU, COLE.

IF YOU'RE NOT COMFORTABLE MAKING THAT MOTION, YOU WANT SOMEBODY ELSE TO YES.

[02:20:03]

I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE, UM, AMEND THE PRESENTATION MADE BY STAFF IN MAKING ALL THE USAGE SUP APPROVAL BY COUNSEL, AND WE ADOPT ITEM NUMBER 49.

IS THAT GOOD FOR YOU, RASHAD? THAT'S GOOD.

WE HAVE A MOTION.

SECOND.

OPPOSED? SAY NAY.
