THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

GOOD EVENING TO THE COMMISSIONERS.

UM, LET'S YOUR LAPTOP.

ALRIGHT, THE FIRST CASE BEFORE YOU ITEM THREE IS, UH, A SITE PLAN, UH, FOR WAREHOUSES AT 30 23 37 DOREEN STREET.

ALL RIGHT, THE, THESE ARE TWO NEW WAREHOUSES, UH, ON DOREEN STREET.

UM, 2337 DOREEN STREET.

THERE'S THE PROPERTY ZONE, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, AND, UH, IT'S 2.02 ACRES.

THIS IS A SITE PLAN FOR THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

UH, THE ACCESS, THERE ARE FOUR ACCESSES.

THEY'RE ALL OFF OF DOREEN STREET, THE INGRESS AND EGRESS.

UM, THE FIRST BUILDING TO THE LEFT IS 17,584 SQUARE FEET, AND THE SECOND BUILDING TO THE RIGHT IS, UH, 70 17,833 SQUARE FEET.

AND THE SITE MEETS THE DENSITY AND DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS.

IT ALSO MEETS THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS, UH, THE MINIMUM PARKING REQUIRE, AND THEY'RE PROVIDING MORE THAN, UH, THEY'RE REQUIRED TO DO SO.

SO THEY'RE PROVIDING 42.

UM, AND IT ALSO MEETS THE LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH BY THE UDC.

THERE ARE NOT REQUESTING ANY VARIANCES AT THIS TIME.

UH, AND DRC RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION OR BRIEFING.

AND I CAN TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

LET ME CHECK.

COMMISSIONERS, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS.

WHAT IS, UH, WHAT, WHAT OTHER WAREHOUSES ARE CLOSE TO? THIS ONE? UH, THERE'S ONE TO THE SOUTH.

SO LET ME GO BACK.

WELL, NO, THAT WAS A DIFFERENT, THERE SHOULD BE A SLIDE THAT SHOWS THE, UH, WHATEVER THE EAST, WEST, NORTH, SOUTH, UH, AROUND THE F FACILITY.

SO IT'S ON THE STAFF REPORT AND YEAH, SOUTH, THERE'S AN OFFICE WAREHOUSE, AND TO THE NORTH THERE'S A CONTRACTOR SHOP AND A WAREHOUSE.

SO IT'S, IT'S, IT IS IN INDUSTRIAL MM-HMM .

INDUSTRIAL AREA.

ANY OTHER? NO MORE QUESTIONS.

NO QUESTIONS.

THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT TO THE NORTH.

I'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM FOUR.

THIS IS A PHASE TWO FOR CAMP WISDOM PLAZA, AND, UH, THEY'RE PROPOSING A RETAIL BUILDING TO THE NORTH AND A RESTAURANT WITH A DRIVE THROUGH TO THE SOUTH.

THE RESTAURANT'S GOING TO BE A CAPTAIN D'S, UH, THEY'RE NOT SURE WHAT THE RETAIL TENANT IS GOING TO BE AT THIS TIME.

UM, THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 2,800 WEST CAMP WISDOM ROAD AND 30 51 31 LYNN ROAD, UH, ZONE PD ONE 30.

UH, AND IT'S 2.60 ACRES.

SO THIS IS THE SITE PLAN.

THE, THE GREEN RECTANGULAR BOX SHOWS PHASE ONE.

THAT WAS, UH, ABOUT 70,000 SQUARE FOOT RETAIL SPACE.

UH, THAT'S ALREADY EXISTING.

SO THE BOXES THAT ARE RED TO THE NORTH, THAT'S WHAT'S COMING IN.

UM, THAT'S THE ALMOST 7,000 SQUARE FOOT RETAIL BUILDING.

AND TO THE SOUTH IS THE CAPTAIN, PROPOSED CAPTAIN DS WITH THE DRIVE-THROUGH LANE, UH, ON THIS ONE'S THE SAME.

IT'S MEETING THE DIMENSIONAL AND, UH, PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND ALSO THE LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH BY THE UDC.

AND THEY'RE NOT REQUESTING ANY VARIANCES.

THESE ARE THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS FOR THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH, UM, OR

[00:10:01]

AND THIS IS THE ELEVATION FOR CAPTAIN DS AND DRC RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION.

COMMISSIONER, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER MADDEN? SO THE CAPTAIN DS IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE FRONT, IS THAT RIGHT? IT'S TO THE SOUTH.

SO IN, YEAH, THAT'S IN THE FRONT, CORRECT? YES.

TO THE SOUTH.

SO THIS IS GONNA GO IN FRONT OF WHERE CAFE CECILIA IS AND SOME OF THE OTHER STUFF RIGHT THERE ON CAMP WISDOM, I BELIEVE.

I THINK I'M ACCURATE.

SO I'D HAVE TO GO BACK ON THAT MAP.

I'M NOT CLEAR ON THAT EITHER.

UH, COMMISSIONER I'M, 'CAUSE I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THAT.

YEAH, I'M, I'M KIND OF SURPRISED THAT ANYTHING'S GONNA BE BETWEEN THAT BUILDING WHERE THAT CAFE CECILIA IS AND CAMP WISDOM.

'CAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S NOT THAT DEEP, BUT I MEAN, IT'S IN THE DRAWING, SO IT MUST BE, CAN, CAN WE CLARIFY THAT SAVANNAH, BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING AT IT IN THE, THE RESTAURANT.

THERE'S A STRIP THERE.

AND THEN THERE'S SOME BLANK, SOME LAND BEHIND THERE.

THEN ON THE RIGHT, THERE'S, THERE'S VACANT LAND, THEN THERE'S A SUBDIVISION ACROSS THE STREET.

SO THAT'S WHERE I'M KIND OF CONFUSED.

CORRECT.

SO IF YOU RECALL, THE SITE PLAN FOR PHASE ONE CAME THROUGH A COUPLE YEARS AGO, AND IT ORIGINALLY HAD A CONVENIENCE STORE WITH GAS SALES.

AND SO THEY ENDED UP NOT CONSTRUCTING THE GASOLINE PORTION.

SO WHERE THE, THE CANOPY WITH THE, UH, GAS STATIONS, THAT, THAT WAS NO LONGER, THAT WAS NOT PART OF THEIR, WHAT THEY CONSTRUCTED.

UH, SO THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF SPACE IN BETWEEN CAMP WISDOM AND THE BUILDING THAT WAS CONSTRUCTED.

AND SO THEY'RE COMING BACK NOW WANTING TO CONSTRUCT THAT RESTAURANT WITH A DRIVE THROUGH LANE.

SO IT'S GONNA BE BEHIND IT.

IT'S GONNA BE IN FRONT OF IT.

I'M TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT.

IT'S GONNA BE SOUTH OF IT, NORTH OF IT.

THAT, THAT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT.

BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT CAMP WISDOM AND THE STRIP IS RIGHT THERE OFF OF CAMP WISDOM.

I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S BECAUSE I LIVE DOWN THE STREET.

RIGHT DOWN THE STREET.

AND I THINK THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EITHER TO THE RIGHT OR OR BEHIND IT OR GO YOU, YEAH.

AND CAFE CECILIA IS RIGHT THERE AT THE CORNER OF LYNN AND CAMP WISDOM.

ARE WE CALLED THE BRAHMS ICE CREAM COMING IN THAT AREA AS WELL? WAS IT BRAHMS? NO, IT FURTHER TO THE BRAS BY, BY THE, UH, BRAHM IS BY, IS BY THE, THE, UH, CHURCH.

THE CHURCH AND THE SONIC.

SAVANNAH, THE BRAMS IS BY THE CHURCH FRONTING CAPTAIN WISDOM.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP NOW, THIS WOULD BE FRONTING KEPT WISDOM.

THE BUILDING, THAT'S WHERE THE ACTUAL STRIP CENTER WILL BE BEHIND IT, CLOSER TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER BUILDING THAT'D BE EVEN CLOSER TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

MM-HMM.

SO IT'S, IT'S IN THAT VACANT LOT BEHIND.

THERE ARE THREE BUILDINGS PROPOSED ON THIS PARCEL.

WHERE THE HAND IS NOW, THAT'S WHERE THE RETAIL, THAT'S ONE GO DOWN.

THERE'S GONNA BE THE STRIP CENTER.

IS ALREADY BUILT.

AND NOW THEY'RE PROPOSING THIS CAPTAIN D'S RIGHT THERE.

CAPTAIN D IS GONNA BE THE CORNER OF LYNN ROAD AND CAMP WISDOM.

BUT IT'S ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE.

IT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT.

SO I DON'T SEE HOW THAT GONNA GET ANYTHING IN THERE.

SO WHERE'S UH, WHERE'S THE FACE, CECILIA, IF YOU CAN PUT YOUR HAND ON IT.

SO CAPTAIN DE IS GONNA BE TO THE SOUTH HERE, CECILIA, RIGHT THERE.

WHERE'S, WHERE'S THE, WHERE'S THE ITALIAN RESTAURANT? I'M NOT FAMILIAR.

YES, AS SOON CENTER.

LIKE IF YOU SPLIT THAT LOT IN THREE SECTIONS, TOP PART, THE MIDDLE PART'S ALREADY ESTABLISHED.

CAFE CECILIA'S THERE, CAPTAIN D'S IS GONNA BE BELOW WAY.

SO YEAH.

YOU'VE SEEN THIS AERIAL THAT ABDUL GO TO THE ACTUAL SIDE PLAN.

PLAN.

IT, IT SHOULD MAKE MORE SENSE NOW.

SO YOU SEE HOW THE, THIS SECTION RED, GREEN RED.

THE LAND, THAT PROPERTY, THAT SAME PROPERTY IS SPLIT IN THREE SECTIONS.

SO THE, THE GREEN IS ALREADY BUILT.

THE RED IN THE FRONT IS WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED IN THE CAPTAIN D'S LOCATION.

WOW.

DIDN'T SEEM LIKE THAT WOULD FIT THERE.

BUT , I GUESS I'M JUST, I GUESS I, I DON'T HAVE THAT VISUAL, THAT GOOD.

AND THAT'S BY, RIGHT? IS THAT CORRECT? THEY CAN BUILD THAT, CORRECT? YES.

EVEN THROUGH WITH THE, IN THE PD, THE SUP IS NOT REQUIRED.

I REMEMBER THAT.

COMMISSIONERS, DO Y'ALL HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? 'CAUSE IT IS RATHER CONFUSING BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT THE VISUAL.

WHEN I PASS BY ON CAMP WISDOM, I SEE, UH, THE ITALIAN RESTAURANT ON THE CORNER OF LYNN ROAD AND CAMP WISDOM.

THAT'S WHAT MY VISUAL IS WHAT I SEE WHEN I GO DOWN THAT STREET EVERY DAY.

IT'S NOT THE IMMEDIATE CORNER.

THERE IS SOME SPACE IN FRONT OF THAT BUILDING.

THAT WAS GOING TO BE THE GAS CANOPY THAT SAVANNAH WAS TALKING ABOUT.

THAT MAKES MORE SENSE BECAUSE I WAS THINKING IT WAS RIGHT ON TOP OF EACH OTHER.

THE GOOGLE MAP, YOU CAN SEE THE, YES.

IS A ZONE CHANGE REQUEST AT, UH, AT CONTRACTOR SHOP AT 35 0 2 HARD ROCK ROAD.

YEAH, THAT'S A BETTER VISUAL.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? COMMISSIONERS? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO.

ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S IT ON THAT ONE.

ALRIGHT.

ITEM FIVE

[00:15:01]

OOPS.

SO THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED SINGLE FAMILY ONE SF ONE, AND THE REQUESTED ZONE CHANGE IS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, UM, TO BUILD A CONTRACTOR SHOP, NO OUTSIDE STORAGE, UH, WILL BE ALLOWED.

UM, THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP IS ALREADY LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, SO IT'S CONSISTENT WITH WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING, UH, TO REZONE TO.

AND THE SITE IS POINTS EIGHT, SIX ACRES.

UH, THIS IS THE ZONING MAP TO THE NORTH IS, UH, A PD AND A MOBILE HOME PARK.

UH, TO THE SOUTH IS A WAREHOUSE, WHICH IS ZONE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TO THE EAST AND WEST.

THEY'RE BOTH PDS AND LARGELY UNDEVELOPED.

THIS IS THE VIEW FROM PARKER ROAD.

THERE'S A EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY HOME THERE, BUT THAT USE WILL BE DISCONTINUED ONCE THEY BUILD A CONTRACTOR SHOP.

UM, DRC RECOMMENDS APPROVAL WITH ONE CONDITION THAT AN OPAQUE SIX FOOT FENCE WILL BE REQUIRED TO THE NORTHERN BOUNDARY OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, WHICH WOULD BE RIGHT HERE TO SCREEN FROM THE RESIDENTIAL USE.

ALRIGHT, ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSION FOR DARCO? YEAH.

ABDUL, ON THAT RECOMMENDATION FOR THE STUFF THAT'S, UH, SINCE THIS IS GONNA FACE AN IMPACT OF PEOPLE TO THE NORTH THAT ACTUALLY LIVE THERE, CAN IT, WHY GO WITH A SIX FOOT INSTEAD OF LIKE AN EIGHT FOOT? AND WHEN YOU SAY OPAQUE, DO YOU MEAN, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? SO AT THIS POINT, WE'VE GIVEN THEM THE FLEXIBILITY, BUT AS, AS THE COMMISSION, YOU CAN ADD OR CHANGE THAT REQUEST OR THAT CONDITION.

COMMISSIONERS.

ANY MORE QUESTIONS? I DO HAVE JUST ONE WITH REGARD TO THE MOBILE HOME PARK.

HAS THERE BEEN ANY CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COMMUNITY AT ALL? WE'VE SENT OUT, UH, NOTIFICATION LETTERS AND HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY, UH, OPPOSITION FROM, BUT I MEANT THE APPLICANT.

HAVE THEY REACHED OUT? UM, I'D HAVE TO CHECK WITH THE APPLICANT AND THEY'RE GOING TO ATTEND THE MEETING TONIGHT.

ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? I GUESS THAT'S IT.

ALRIGHT.

SO I BELIEVE THIS IS IT FOR NOW.

AND SO WE CAN, UH, CLOSE THE, UH, BRIEFING AT 6:17 PM AND REASSESS AT SIX 30.

UM, THAT, UH, IT COULD BE GYM SPACE, IT COULD BE, UM, YOU KNOW, WAREHOUSE FOR A WOOD SHOP OR, YOU KNOW, JUST, JUST DIFFERENT INDUSTRIAL TYPE USES.

IT'LL BE RENTED OUT PROBABLY 25 TO 5,000 SQUARE FOOT SPACE SPACES.

UM, THERE'S TWO BUILDINGS THERE.

THEY'RE BOTH ABOUT 17,000 SQUARE FEET.

AND, UH, IT SHOULD BE, IT'S A, IT'S A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THAT.

THAT WAS MY CONCERN.

I WAS WONDERING IF IT WAS A, IF SOMEONE REACHED OUT TO YOU GUYS TO WANT TO BUILD THERE, OR IF YOU JUST DECIDED, YOU JUST DROVE AROUND AND THOUGHT, OH, THIS IS A GOOD SPOT FOR ADDITIONAL .

Lots 2 & 3, Block 1, Jai Addition, City of Grand Prairie, Tarrant County, Texas, zoned Planned Development (PD-130), and addressed as 2800 W. Camp Wisdom Rd and 5131 Lynn Road]

UH,

[00:30:01]

UM, TO THE NORTH, THEY'RE PROPOSING A RETAIL BUILDING AND TO THE SIDE THEY'RE PROPOSING A RESTAURANT WITH A DRIVE THROUGH LOCATED AT 2,800 WEST, UH, CAMP WISDOM ROAD.

AND THIRD, UH, 51 31 LYNN ROAD, UH, 2.60 ACRES AND IS ZONED PD ONE 30.

SO THE RECTANGULAR BOX, UH, AGAIN, IS SHOWING THE PROPOSED LOCATION FOR THE RETAIL.

THEY DO NOT HAVE A TENANT AT THIS TIME, UH, AND TO THE SOUTH, THAT'S GOING TO BE A CAPTAIN D'S, UH, 1800 SQUARE FEET RESTAURANT WITH A DRIVE-THROUGH.

UH, THE SITE PLAN DOES MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE UDC, UM, FOR DENSITY PARKING AND LANDSCAPING.

AND THE APPLICANT IS NOT REQUESTING ANY VARIANCES.

SO, UH, THESE ARE THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS FOR THE RETAIL BUILDING TO THE NORTH.

AND THESE ARE THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS FOR THE CAPTAIN D'S RESTAURANT TO THE SOUTH.

AND DRC RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION.

COMMISSIONER, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I THINK I WAS ONLY GONNA ASK A COUPLE QUESTIONS AND MAYBE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WENT OVER THAT, BUT IT'S GONNA BE A RESTAURANT WITH A DRIVE THROUGH.

WHERE IS THE SPEAKER BOX GONNA BE? UH, LEMME GO BACK TO THIS SITE PLAN REAL QUICK WITH REGARD TO THE RESIDENCE, THE SURROUNDING RESIDENCE.

SO SPEAKER BOX.

SO IT'S TO THE SOUTH, IT'S CLOSER TO CAMP WISDOM AND THE SPEAKER BOX IS RIGHT HERE.

IF, IF WE SEE, I CAN'T SEE YOUR POINT.

OH, YOU CAN'T SEE THE POINTER.

LET'S SEE IF THIS WOULD HELP.

YES, THAT HELPS.

YEAH, IT IS RIGHT HERE.

AND THE RESIDENCE IS RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD IS BACK HERE TO THE NORTH.

OKAY, COMMISSIONER? NO, PLEASE, COMMISSIONER.

AND THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD WITH REGARD TO FENCING, WHAT IS THE FENCING PROPOSED FOR THIS? I KNOW THERE ARE NO VARIANCES, BUT WHAT IS, I THINK THERE IS, LEMME GO BACK TO, OOPS.

SO IF THERE IS ALREADY AN EIGHT FOOT MASONRY WALL OKAY.

TO THE NORTH.

OKAY? MM-HMM .

IT'S EXISTING COMMISSIONER, UH, COMMISSIONER COCO, UM, HOW MANY PARKING SPACES, BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE VERY CLOSE TO THE, UM, THE ITALIAN RESTAURANT AND OTHER MM-HMM .

SO HOW MANY PARKING SPACES? SO THERE WERE 43 PARKING SPACES REQUIRED.

UH, AND THEIR PROPOSED THE TOTAL PROPOSAL, UH, WITH THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH, INCLUDING WILL BE 108.

SO THEY'RE WELL OVER THERE ARE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT.

I HAVE A QUESTION.

COMMISSIONER PEREZ.

MINE IS, UM, THE TRASH RECEPTACLE.

I NOTICED THAT ON A LOT OF THE OTHER DRIVE-THROUGHS THAT WE'VE HAD, UM, THE TRASH RECEPTACLE SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE DRC RECOMMENDATIONS.

WHERE WILL THAT ONE BE? HERE? SO ON FOR THE CAPTAIN D'S? YES.

IT'S, AGAIN, WE CAN'T SEE THE POINTER.

LET ME, OOPS.

SO FOR THE CAPTAIN D'S, IT'S RIGHT HERE.

THE TRASH THAT YEAH, THAT'S THE DONE.

SO I'M TALKING ABOUT THE RECEPTACLE.

YOU KNOW HOW ALL THE TIME WHEN THEY HAVE A DRIVE THROUGH THERE, DRC WOULD ALWAYS RECOMMEND THAT THERE BE A, LIKE A TRASH CAN.

OH, A TRASH CAN.

AND SO TYPICALLY AN SUP IS REQUIRED FOR A RESTAURANT WITH A DRIVE THROUGH.

AND SO STAFF CAN RECOMMEND ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS.

AND WE HAVE STANDARDIZED SO THAT WE DO THAT ON EVERY SUP.

NOW, THIS IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT IN THAT IT'S A SITE PLAN.

UM, AND SO WE DON'T HAVE THAT REQUIREMENT FOR A TRASH RECEPTACLE CODIFIED IN OUR UDC.

SO IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT IN THE UDC, BUT IT IS A RECOMMENDATION WHEN THERE IS AN SUP.

ANY OTHER, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER NORCO? YEAH, ONE OTHER QUESTION.

SO ABDUL, UH, AND, AND MAYBE I'M JUST TECHNICALLY NOT UP TO SPEED, BUT THERE'S, THERE'S NOT 103 PARKING SPACES WHERE CAPTAIN DE IS, THERE'S ONLY 103.

IF YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE, THE, IN THE, THE ENTIRE THING, HOW MANY ARE THERE FOR THE OTHER ONE? WOULD IT MEET REQUIREMENTS IF YOU ONLY CONSIDERED THE SOUTHERN RED RECTANGLE? UH, THERE IS A SHARED PARKING AGREEMENT BETWEEN, UH, ALL THREE OF THESE BUILDINGS.

SO, AND COMBINING ALL OF THOSE PARKING SPACES, IT EXCEEDS THE REQUIREMENT SET FORTH BY THE UC.

IT'S JUST THAT THE NORTHERN AREA, WHICH HAS A LOT OF PARKING PEOPLE HAVE TO WALK THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH OR OTHER TRAFFIC TO GET IN THERE TO, TO EFFECTIVELY GET DOWN TO CAP DS.

THAT IT MAY WORK ON PA IT MAY SAY THAT ON PAPER IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM THAT MEANINGFUL THAT PEOPLE ARE GONNA PARK UP NEAR THE SHOPPING THING AND WALK ALL THE WAY DOWN.

SO WOULD IT, WOULD IT PASS IF IT WAS JUST THE SOUTHERN RECTANGLE PARKING WAS ONLY TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION? WOULD IT MEET THE, WOULD IT MEET THE, UH, REQUIREMENTS? SO IT'S, IT'S 800 FEET.

IT'S SQUARE FEET WAS, THAT'S THE RESTAURANT'S, UH, SQUARE FOOTAGE.

AND FOR THE RESTAURANT, IT ONLY NEEDS, UH, ONE SPACE PER, IT NEEDS ONE SPACE PER A HUNDRED SQUARE FOOT.

SO IT WILL NEED 18 SPACES.

AND I'LL HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK AND SEE.

IT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

[00:35:03]

COMMISSIONER, ANY OTHER, UH, QUESTIONS? ABDUL? OKAY, COMMISSIONER? YES, MA'AM.

MAY I ASK ABOUT THE, UM, THE STREET FACING AND HOW THE TRAFFIC IS ACTUALLY GONNA FLOW? MM-HMM .

SO CAMP, THE INGRES EGRESS IS FROM CAMP WISDOM AND THEN LIN, UH, LIN ROAD, THOSE ARE THE ACCESS POINTS.

SOMETHING KNOW, UH, WE DON'T HAVE THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNER HERE, BUT, UH, THEY DID REVIEW IT AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS.

DO YOU KNOW IF PERHAPS THERE WERE ANY TRAFFIC STUDIES THAT WERE DONE TO SEE? NOT, BECAUSE THAT AREA IS SO BUSY, I BELIEVE TRAFFIC STUDIES A HUNDRED UNITS OR MORE.

SO IT'S NOT REQUIRED.

TRAFFIC STUDIES NOT REQUIRED.

THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

UH, COMMISSIONER CHAPMAN, BECAUSE I LIVE IN THAT AREA TOO.

TRAFFIC IS BUSY ON CAMP WISDOM AND THEN CAMP WISDOM AND IT, IT JUST GOES CAMP WISDOM, UH, EACH WAY.

AND THEN LYNN ROAD JUST CROSSES FOR THE RESIDENTIAL.

SO THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE MIGHT DOWN THE ROAD LOOK AND SEE ON THAT ONE BECAUSE WE ARE ADDING MORE BUSINESSES TO THE, TO THAT, THAT DENSITY, THAT AREA.

SO THAT WOULD BE IMPORTANT.

SO RASHAD, THAT'S NOT GONNA BE AN ISSUE.

ALL THOSE BUILDINGS RIGHT THERE TOGETHER, TRANSPORTATION LOOKED AT IT.

SO, UM, WE HAVE TO LEAN ON THEIR DECISION AND THOUGHT PROCESS WITH THIS, UH, UNDERSTANDING THAT THAT RETAIL USE WAS ALREADY THERE AND THEY'VE ALREADY CONSIDERED THAT TO BE DEVELOPED.

UM, THEY'RE JUST ADDING ADDITIONAL, UH, COME AND GO TRAFFIC TO THAT LOCATION.

I DON'T, I'M NOT TRANSPORTATION PLANNER.

SO.

WELL, I'M GONNA GIVE YOU FOR AN EXAMPLE.

I'M, I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE AT MAGNA CARTER AND CAMP WISDOM, 'CAUSE I LIVE IN THAT AREA, THERE'S A LOT OF CONGESTION THERE.

YOU HAVE THE WENDY'S, THE CANES, THE SONIC, RIGHT.

AND THEY'RE ALL IN THERE.

AND THAT IS, IS IT'S KIND OF TIGHT.

THAT'LL BE WEST OF HERE, RIGHT? THAT'LL BE WEST OF THIS LOCATION PROBABLY SO.

I KNOW, BUT I'M JUST SAYING THAT, I'M JUST GIVING THIS EXAMPLE OF, OF, OF FACILITIES ALREADY BUILT AND, AND, AND RUNNING YEAH.

AS WE SPEAK.

AND THAT IS, UH, THAT'S A LITTLE TIGHT AND THAT AREA GETTING THROUGH, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THIS IS THE ONLY RETAIL LOCATED IN THIS AREA.

SO THIS SITE WOULD BE BUILT OUT.

WHAT'S ON THE EAST SIDE OF LYNN WILL BE RESIDENTIAL, PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL IS ZONED.

AND THEN TO THE WEST OF THIS, THAT PARCEL THAT YOU SEE IN BETWEEN, I BELIEVE WE APPROVED THE SITE PLAN FOR A DAYCARE THERE.

I REMEMBER THE DAYCARE, THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON THAT ONE.

SO I DON'T FORESEE ANY MORE INCREASE IN RETAIL GENERATED TRAFFIC FROM THIS LOCATION OUTSIDE OF WHAT YOU'RE PRO PROPOSED TO APPROVE TONIGHT.

'CAUSE THE RESTAURANT IS GONNA BE THE, THE, THE, UH, UH, WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? DRIVE THROUGH IS GONNA TAKE CARE OF SOME OF THE TRAFFIC, BUT THE, THE SIT DOWN AND THEN WHATEVER OTHER, UH, BUSINESSES IS PROPOSED THERE THAT RIGHT NOW YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT CAPTAIN DS.

CORRECT? CORRECT.

COMMISSIONERS, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? VERY GOOD QUESTION, COMMISSIONER.

VERY GOOD.

UH, UH, CHRIS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF ANY CONCERNS TO YOU? NOT REALLY.

SO THERE, THANK YOU.

SO DO WE HAVE ANY, UH, SPEAKER CARDS ON THIS? NO.

MADAM CHAIR, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? UH, COMMISSIONERS.

I THINK IT'S PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.

I THINK WE'VE KIND OF WORKED THROUGH THIS, THIS, THIS IS MY DISTRICT, BUT IF SOMEBODY ELSE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE MOTION, I'D BE HAPPY FOR YOU TO DO IT.

UH, YOU WANT ME TO TAKE IT MYSELF? OKAY.

UH, I'D LIKE TO, UH, MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE STP 2 3 0 6 0 0 1 4 SITE PLAN AT CAMP WISDOM PLAZA, PHASE TWO IN DISTRICT FOUR AS, UH, AS PER DRC RECOMMENDATIONS.

AND SECOND, HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO APPROVE, UM, TP 23 0 6 0 0 1 4 SITE PLAN BY MYSELF, COMMISSIONER CHERYL SMITH AND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER KOCA.

FIVE, WHICH IS A ZONE CHANGE, UH, FOR A CONTRACTOR SHOP AT 35 0 2 HARDROCK ROAD.

NEXT CASE PLEASE.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

AND WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM

[5. ZON-23-07-0020 - Light Industrial Zoning at 3502 Hardrock Rd (City Council District 1). Zoning Change from Single Family-One (SF-1) to Light Industrial to allow for construction of a Contractor's Shop (Indoors) on 0.86 acres. Tract 236, John C Read Survey, Abstract 1183, City of Grand Prairie, Dallas County, zoned Single Family-One (SF-1), addressed as 3502 Hardrock Road]

UM, CURRENTLY THE, THE PROPERTY ZONE SF ONE, WHICH IS SINGLE FAMILY ONE.

UH, AND THE REQUESTED ZONE IS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

UH, AND THE INTENT IS TO BUILD A CONTRACTOR'S SHOP ONCE THE ZONING IS COMPLETE OR THE REZONES COMPLETE.

THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, UH, DESIGNATES TO SITE AS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

SO IT CORRELATES WITH THE ZONE CHANGE THAT THEY'RE REQUESTING.

AND THE SITE IS 0.86 ACRES.

THIS IS THE ZONING MAP.

UH, THE YELLOW PORTION HERE IS THIS SF ONE.

THIS IS THE PORTION THAT THEY'RE WANTING TO REZONE.

[00:40:02]

UH, PROPERTY TO THE NORTH IS PD AND IT'S A MOBILE HOME PARK.

TO THE SOUTH IS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE, UH, AND TO THE EAST AND WEST ARE, UH, PDS AND LARGELY UNDEVELOPED.

THIS IS THE VIEW FROM, UH, PARKER ROAD AND DRC RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

WE WILL, WE WILL GO AHEAD AND TAKE THAT CONDITION OFF, UH, AS IS, AS IT'S, UH, STRAIGHT ZONE CHANGE AS MENTIONED BY MATT.

AND WE CAN PUT THAT CONDITION LATER ON WHEN THEY COME THROUGH WITH A SITE PLAN APPROVAL.

THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

COMMISSIONS.

DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONS, FCO UH, ABDUL, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE COLORED MAP PLEASE? THAT ONE? SO THEY'RE ONLY LOOKING TO CHANGE THE ZONING ON THE SOUTHEASTERN YELLOW SQUARE.

THE OTHER YELLOW, THE OTHER YELLOW POLYGON IS NOT PART OF THE ZONE CHANGE.

THAT IS NOT, YES.

IT'S JUST SHOWING THAT THERE'S ANOTHER SF ONE ZONING CLOSE.

AND THE DEVELOPER'S HERE TONIGHT, RIGHT? I BELIEVE SO, YES.

COMMISSIONER MADDEN.

SO DOES THE, UM, PERSON WHO WANTS TO BUILD THIS CURRENTLY OWN THE LAND? ARE THEY, ARE THEY THE RESIDENT OR WHATEVER THE CURRENT OWNER? DO YOU KNOW, I'D WANT TO DEFER THAT QUESTION TO THE APPLICANT.

UH, THEY MAY BE IN THE PROCESS OF PURCHASING.

UM, OKAY.

ONCE TO ZONE.

AND DO YOU KNOW IF IT'S A SPEC BUILDING OR IS IT FOR THE PERSON WHO'S GONNA BUILD IT? DO YOU KNOW THAT? I DO NOT, NO.

WE HAVE NOT SEEN A SITE PLAN.

IT'S JUST A ZONE CHANGE AT THIS POINT.

AND, UM, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT IS THE ZONING FOR A MOBILE HOME PARK? IT'S PLAN.

IS IT A PLAN DEVELOPMENT? ALWAYS, ALWAYS.

IT, IT IS CURRENTLY, YES.

I BELIEVE IT WAS, UH, PD OR WAS CREATED A PD IN THE EARLY EIGHT 1980S, AND I CAN DOUBLE CHECK THE YEAR.

SO PLAN DEVELOPMENTS ARE FOR MOBILE HOME PARKS VERSUS SINGLE FAMILY ONE FOR HOUSES? I'M TRYING TO, SO PLAN DEVELOPMENT IS A CUSTOM ZONING DISTRICT.

AND THE LAND USE IS PERMITTED BY RIDE IN THAT PARTICULAR ZONING OR PD? IS THERE A ZONING, LIKE A, IS THERE A STANDARD ZONING FOR MOBILE HOMES? MOBILE HOME PARKS? THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION THOUGH.

TYPICALLY THAT'S HANDLED BY A PD FOR MOBILE HOME PARK AND SOMETIMES WITH AN SUP.

I WILL NOTE THAT THERE ARE SOME MOBILE HOME PARKS WITHIN THE CITY THAT, UH, DO NOT HAVE A PD FOR A MOBILE HOME.

THEY WERE, UH, CONSTRUCTED BEFORE THEY WERE ANNEXED INTO THE CITY, BUT OKAY.

BUT TYPICALLY IT'S A PD THAT, THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

OR, UH, QUESTION, QUESTION.

COMMISSIONER.

UH, MADDEN.

SO YOU MENTIONED THE FLU.

SO I GUESS IT MEETS THE FLUME REQUIREMENTS.

THAT WAS FUTURE LAND USE MAP, CORRECT? YES.

THE, THE SITE THAT'S REQUESTED TO BE REZONED, UH, THE FLU SHOWS THAT IT IS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

SO IT IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YEAH, UH, COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ, I THINK YOU'LL DO NOW, CAN YOU HELP ME, UH, BETTER UNDERSTAND THE PROPERTY TO THE WEST? IT'S ALSO A PD THERE, SO, UH, IT'S UNDEVELOPED.

UM, BUT THE FUTURE, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, LAND USE FOR THAT IS ALSO LIKE INDUSTRIAL, I'M ASSUMING THAT IS CORRECT.

SO THAT WILL, I MEAN, IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO, JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IF SOMEBODY COULD WANNA BUILD HOMES, WOULD THAT BE LINE LOCK AT THAT POINT? YOU GOT HOMES TO THE NORTH HOMES TO THE POTENTIALLY TO THE UH, TO THE WEST.

SEEMS A LITTLE BIT OUT OF PLACE HERE.

NO.

AM I SEEING THAT CORRECTLY OR NOT? NO, THE PROPERTY TO THE WEST IS ZONE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AS WELL.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING, THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING.

SO ONLY RESIDENTIAL WOULD BE TO THE NORTH.

GOTCHA.

YEAH, YOU'RE WELCOME.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE ONE OTHER QUESTION.

OH, COMMISSIONER .

UM, I HAD ONE OTHER QUESTION.

OH, COULD YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE RIGHT BEFORE THIS? SO WHEN IT SAYS CONSTRUCT A CONTRACTOR SHOP, THAT'S JUST A ASPIRATION.

ONCE, ONCE WE CHANGE THE ZONING OF THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, THEY CAN DO ANYTHING THAT LIGHT INDUSTRIAL PERMITS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? THANK YOU.

YOU HAVE ANY, UH, SPEAKER CARDS? UH, YES.

COMMISSIONER DUKO HAD QUESTIONS.

WE HAVE A, UH, CARD FROM THE, UH, APPLICANT ABRAHAM JACKSON.

UH, HE WANTED TO RECORD HIS SUPPORT AND HE NOTED THAT HE WILL SPEAK AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OF CALLED UPON.

I THINK WE'D LIKE HIM TO COME UP.

UH, I THINK WE HAD A FEW QUESTIONS.

COMMISSIONERS HAD A FEW QUESTIONS.

I KNOW THAT COMMISSIONER MADDEN ANSWERED.

GOOD EVENING, COMMERS.

MY NAME'S ABRAHAM JACKSON.

I'M AT 59 0 1 2 LEASE CREEK DRIVE IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS.

THE PROPERTY AS IT IS? I DO.

COMMISSIONER MADDEN.

HI.

GOOD MOR OR AFTERNOON.

UM, SO DO YOU CURRENTLY OWN THE PROPERTY THAT THE ITEMS THAT ARE ON THE PROPERTY AND

[00:45:01]

YOU DO? MM-HMM .

DID YOU LIVE THERE OR, NO, I BOUGHT IT.

UM, AND ANOTHER QUESTION WAS ASKED ABOUT, UM, THE ZONING AND WHATNOT.

SO WHEN I WENT TO PURCHASE IT, IT'S LISTED AS SINGLE FAMILY ONE.

BUT THE APPRAISER, I GUESS, REACHED OUT TO THE CITY IN THE FUTURE.

LAND USE OF IT WAS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

SO I WAS TURNED DOWN BY MY, YOU KNOW, FOR MY LOAN FROM, UH, HOMEOWNERS A HOME LOAN BECAUSE IT'S, THE FUTURE USE IS GONNA BE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

SO I HAD TO GET A, A COMMERCIAL LOAN TO PURCHASE IT.

UM, SO I DO OWN THE PROPERTY AND, UH, I DO HAVE A BUSINESS AND MY HOPE IS TO BUILD A, UH, OUR BUILDING THERE AT THAT LOCATION.

THERE'S NO CONSTRUCTION GOING ON AT THAT, THAT WE DON'T HAVE HEAVY EQUIPMENT MORE THAN ANYTHING.

IT'LL JUST BE AN ADMIN BUILDING WITH, UH, WAREHOUSE STORAGE FOR MATERIALS AND WHATNOT.

COMMISSIONER FEDCO, IT'S MR. JACKSON, RIGHT? YES, SIR.

SO, MR. JACKSON, THIS IS MY DISTRICT.

YES, SIR.

UM, AND I KNOW THIS AREA 'CAUSE I KNOW 1 61 OF THE AREAS ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

UM, SO I'M A LITTLE BIT TORN, BUT I GOTTA BE HONEST ON THAT SIDE OF 1 61, THERE'S A LOT OF INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY GOING ON.

UM, BUT THE PEOPLE THAT, THAT ARE TO THE NORTH OF YOUR PARCEL THAT YOU WANNA REZONE YES, SIR.

THEY DID KIND OF MOVE IN THERE THINKING THAT THE PEOPLE SOUTH OF THEM WERE, IT WAS GONNA BE SINGLE FAMILY PARCEL.

ABSOLUTELY, COMMISSIONER.

SO YOU'RE ASKING FOR A CHANGE IN THAT ZONING, AND I'M NOT, I'M NOT COMPLETELY AVERSE TO IT.

I I JUST WANT TO, UM, ASK, LIKE, AS WE GO FORWARD WITH THIS, I, I MEAN, I I, IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO ME, AND I THINK IT WOULD BE MORE IMPORTANT TO THOSE PEOPLE THAT LIVE NORTH OF YOUR PARCEL, THAT THERE'S A MEANINGFUL FENCE, A MEANINGFUL BARRIER BETWEEN YOUR NORTHERN EDGE AND WHERE THEIR RESIDENCES ARE.

OF COURSE, COMMISSIONER, WE, IF WHEN WE GET TO THE SITE PLAN, WHEN WE GET TO THE, UH, SUBMITTING OF THE PROPOSAL OF THE BUILDING THAT WE'D LIKE TO BUILD, UM, WE'LL CERTAINLY PUT IN, IF IT'S A SIX FOOT BARRIER FENCE, A NOISE CANCELLATION FENCE, WE'LL, WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM PUTTING THAT UP OR AN EIGHT FOOT FENCE, WHATEVER'S GONNA MITIGATE, UM, SOUNDTRACK.

AND I, AND I APPRECIATE THAT WORD MITIGATE BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, I'M TRYING TO, TRYING TO, IT'S GREAT THAT YOU WANT TO PUT BUSINESS THERE, RIGHT? MM-HMM .

AND, BUT IT'S ALSO TRYING TO STRIKE THAT BALANCE WITH THE PEOPLE IN THE NORTH.

SO IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT EIGHT F EIGHT FOOT, THAT'S I THINK GREAT.

MAYBE EVEN, UH, CONSIDER MASON DOWN THE ROAD.

WE CAN'T PUT THAT AS PART OF THIS, BUT THAT WOULD CERTAINLY BE SOMETHING I WOULD BE THINKING OF WHEN YOU COME UP FOR THE SITE PLAN.

AND MORE THAN ANYTHING, I'M JUST KIND OF TRYING TO HELP THE WHEELS OF GOVERNMENT TURN A LITTLE BIT QUICKER TO FIT MY NEEDS BECAUSE IT'S, THE FUTURE USE IS GONNA BE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL IN THE FUTURE.

WELL, I KIND OF HAVE, I'D LIKE TO HAVE A NEED FOR IT NOW, SO.

SURE.

NO, THAT, THAT, THAT'S, I'M TRYING TO SPUR THE CHAINS AND, AND JUST, WE, WE DON'T HAVE ANY FEEDBACK FROM THE WE MOBILE HOME FOLKS, AND I DON'T THINK YOU REACHED OUT TO THEM, BUT I THINK YOU DOING THOSE EXTRA STEPS, I THINK THAT WOULD GO A LONG WAY WITH YOUR NORTHERN NEIGHBORS.

OF COURSE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION.

WHAT TYPE OF BUSINESS ARE YOU IN, SIR? WE DO HEAVY CIVIL, WE REPAIR BRIDGES, PARKING GARAGES, CONCRETE STRUCTURES FOR TDOT MUNICIPALITIES, UM, DIFFERENT, UH, THE NORTH TERRA, NORTH TEXAS TOLLWAY AUTHORITY.

WE DO, UM, WE'RE EITHER ON TOP OF A BRIDGE OR UNDERNEATH A BRIDGE.

WE DON'T BUILD BRIDGES, BUT WE FIX 'EM.

AND THERE'S A LOT OF DILAPIDATED BRIDGES IN TEXAS, I'LL TELL YOU.

WELL, THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO, BECAUSE I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I KNOW YOU ARE A BUSY MAN.

SO HOW, WHAT ABOUT TRAFFIC IS, WOULD THERE BE ANY TRAFFIC? NO TRAFFIC.

IT'S JUST GONNA BE AN ADMIN BUILDING.

YOU SAID NO TRAFFIC? PRETTY MUCH.

MM-HMM.

NO TRUCKS.

THERE MIGHT BE SOME DELIVERY TRUCKS FOR WAREHOUSES, BUT THEY COME AND GO THAT RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET OF PARKER, THERE'S UM, THAT NEW DAYLIGHT TRANSPORTATION FACILITY THAT'S A HUNDRED BAY FACILITY, I BELIEVE.

UM, AND I KNOW THAT THEY'RE STILL DOING CONSTRUCTION WORK ON PARKER.

UM, THAT HAS BROUGHT IN A FAIR AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC IN THAT AREA.

BUT YOU KNOW MM-HMM .

SO, SO WHAT ARE YOUR HOURS, YOUR, YOU A REGULAR ADMIN HOURS? YEAH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.

THANKING THE GRAND PRAIRIE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? I THINK THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

COMMISSIONER ERCO.

THANK, THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
