MADAM CHAIR.

THANK YOU, STAFF.

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO PRESENT? HELLO, MS. BRITTANY.

HI.

GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONER.

GOOD EVENING.

GOOD EVENING.

IT IS THE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SIX STP 23 0 8 0 0 2 2.

SO THIS IS A SITE PLAN REQUEST LOCATED AT 1213 WEST TRINITY BOULEVARD.

IT'S ON THAT HARD SOUTHWEST CORNER OF TRINITY AND HARD ROCK.

SO THIS IS FOR A NEW OFFICE WAREHOUSE ON 7.41 ACRES, AND IT IS ZONED LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

SO THE BUILDING ITSELF IS 65,590 SQUARE FEET.

IT IS MEETING OUR DENSITY AND DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS AS WELL AS OUR PARKING STANDARDS.

CURRENTLY, WHAT'S THERE RIGHT NOW IS TRUCK PARKING.

SO IT'S ALSO MEETING OUR LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS.

AND THEY DID, UH, SUBMIT A TREE MITIGATION PLAN AS WELL.

SO THESE ARE THEIR BUILDING ELEVATIONS.

THEY ARE MEETING OUR APPENDIX X STANDARDS FOR OUR BUILDING ELEVATIONS AND ARE PROVIDING ALL OF THE REQUIRED, UH, SECONDARY AND PRIMARY FACADE ELEMENTS.

SO TILT WALL, THIN STONE, ACCENT GLAZING AND ARTICULATION.

SO THESE WERE THE SECONDARY, UH, FACADES.

THESE ARE THE PRIMARY FACADES OFF OF TRINITY AND HARD ROCK.

THE APPLICANT IS NOT REQUESTING ANY VARIANCES.

AND DRC RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

COMMISSIONER, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I THINK THIS WAS PRETTY CUT AND DRY.

THANK YOU.

HELLO, MS. JO.

GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS.

SO THE SECOND, UH, THE ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, UM, IS FOR A SITE PLAN FOR DHI FOUR MULTIFAMILY AT 2300 SOUTH FORUM DRIVE.

SO ACTUALLY THIS WILL KIND OF REMIND YOU 'CAUSE THIS WAS THE ZONING THAT YOU HAVE SEEN BEFORE PNZ.

SO, UM, WHAT THE APPLICANT IS CURRENTLY DOING IS THAT THEY ARE, ZONING WAS APPROVED EARLY THIS YEAR.

THEY'RE DOING THE SITE PLAN TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE READY TO GET TO THE DEVELOPMENT PHASE.

SO THE APPLICANT FOR THIS SITE PLAN IS ONLY BRING FORTH THE APARTMENT PORTION.

JUST, UM, TO GIVE YOU A KIND OF A REMINDER, IN THE NOVEMBER CITY COUNCIL DENIED A ZONE CHANGE AND CONCEPT PLAN, BUT THEIR CONCERN WAS MORE FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY PORTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT WHERE THEY HAD MUCH HIGHER DENSITY, MUCH NARROWER PRODUCT.

SO THEY CAME BACK AND, UH, UM, REQUESTED A ZONE CHANGE WITH MUCH LARGER SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED PRODUCT.

AT THAT TIME, MULTIFAMILY WAS JUST FINE BECAUSE THE ZONING WAS ALREADY IN PLACE FOR THAT.

SO THEY'RE COMING FORTH, UM, TO DO A SITE PLAN.

SO THE SITE PLAN FOR THIS MULTIFAMILY PORTION INCLUDES 261 RESIDENTIAL UNITS OVER ABOUT 11 ACRES.

AS I MENTIONED, THE PD 4 42 ALLOWS THE MULTIFAMILY USE FOR THIS PARTICULAR, UH, PIECE OF PROPERTY.

SO HERE'S THE SITE PLAN, WHICH IS KIND OF CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE, WHAT WE APPROVED IN THE CONCEPT PLAN.

UM, THE YELLOW PORTIONS ARE THE BUILDING.

THE, UH, BLUE IS THEIR, UH, LEASING AREA, WHICH WAS SHOWN ALSO ON THE CONCEPT PLAN.

AND THEN THEY HAVE A, UH, PURPLE AREA WHERE THEY HAVE THE POOL AND THE COURTYARD AND SEATING AREA.

THEY HAVE A DOG PART TO THE CORNER, UM, SHOWN AS GREEN.

AND THEY ALSO HAVE A AMENITY WHERE THEY HAVE OPEN GREEN SPACE WITH BARBECUE GRILLS AND OTHER AMENITIES THAT THE RESIDENT CAN USE FOR THEIR, UM, ACTIVITIES.

THEY HAVE MET ALL OUR LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENT BY PROVIDING AMPLE NUMBER OF TREES.

THEY ARE MEETING OUR TREE MITIGATION PLANS.

THEY HAVE, UM, USED THE BRICK AND STONE VENEER FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE BUILDING AND IT'S COMPLIED WITH WHAT WE APPROVED IN THE ZONING.

AND THEY ARE MEETING THE APPENDIX W DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS.

AND

[00:05:01]

WITH THAT, THE APPLICANT IS NOT REQUESTING ANY VARIANCES AND DRC RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

AGAIN, THIS IS, THE ZONING WAS APPROVED EARLY THIS YEAR.

THIS IS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS MATCH WHAT WE APPROVED DURING THE ZONING CONSIDERATION.

THIS CONCLUDES THAT PRESENTATION.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR STEPH AT THIS TIME? COMMISSIONERS ANY QUESTIONS? I JUST HAVE ONE WITH REGARD TO MA'AM.

HOW MANY APARTMENTS DO WE HAVE ON FORUM NOW? RIGHT NOW THAT, IT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

SO I THINK, UM, THE ONES THAT ARE KIND OF UNDER CONSTRUCTION IS A LITTLE BIT TO THE WEST.

YOU CAN KIND OF SEE HERE.

SO THIS IS THE AVILA, WHICH WAS HYBRID HOUSING, BUT THE APARTMENTS ARE HERE.

UM, THOSE ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND RA IS GETTING, UM, DEVELOPED TO, TO THE EAST OF THIS PROPERTY.

MM-HMM .

SO THERE ARE TWO OTHER PROPERTIES THAT ARE, UH, STILL BEING WORKED ON AS WELL.

I MEAN, OVERALL, I THINK THERE ARE QUITE A FEW.

ARE THERE LIKE EIGHT OR NINE? YES MA'AM.

IF YOU INCLUDE THE ONES ACTUALLY ACROSS 1 61, INCLUDING SUTHERLAND AND SO ON AND SO FORTH, I THINK THAT IS QUITE A BIT, BUT AS I MENTIONED, THE ZONING FOR MULTIFAMILY WAS ACTUALLY IN PLACE FOR THIS AREA SINCE 2000.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

AND I THINK WITH THE ZONING CHANGE, I THINK WE KIND OF FOCUS ON, HEY, TO BALANCE OUT THE DENSITY THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING OVER THE MULTIFAMILY.

WE WANT A LITTLE BIT MORE SPACED OUT, MORE SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED TYPE PRODUCT SURROUNDING IT.

MM-HMM .

MM-HMM .

HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY, ANY, UH, UH, ANYTHING FROM THE COMMUNITY? NOT, NO.

NOT ON THIS ITEM YET.

OKAY.

NO MA'AM.

MM-HMM .

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

THIS IS AN AGENDA ITEM NUMBER EIGHT SUP 23 0 8 0 0 29.

THIS IS AN SUP REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL EVENT CENTER LOCATED AT, UH, 6 7 5 WEST PIONEER PARKWAY.

SO IT IS ZONED GR UM, THE SUITE IS A 3002 64 SQUARE FEET AND IT'S IN A, AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL RETAIL SPACE.

UM, AND THE EXISTING LAND, YOU, AS YOU CAN SEE, ARE MAINLY RETAIL, EXCEPT THERE IS SOME SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTH.

SO IT'S THIS SUITE LOCATED WITHIN THAT CENTER.

SO THE EVENT TIMES WE'RE EXPECTING BABY SHOWERS, WEDDING RECEPTIONS, BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS, PITY STANDARD FOR AN EVENT CENTER.

UM, THEY HAVE 150 SHARED PARKING SPACES.

THERE ISN'T ANY DEDICATED PARKING TO THIS SITE SPECIFICALLY.

SO EXPECTING UP TO 200 ATTENDEES, BUT THAT ACTUAL MAXIMUM CAPACITY WILL BE FIGURED OUT DURING THE BUILDING INSPECTIONS PROCESS.

UM, THE EVENT HOURS ARE DAILY FROM NINE TO 12:00 AM UM, FOOD WILL BE PROVIDED EITHER BY CATERING COMPANIES OR WHOEVER'S RENTING OUT THE SPACE.

AND ALCOHOL WILL BE SERVED BY A LICENSED BARTENDER.

THEY'RE PLANNING TO, UH, TO PROVIDE A SECURITY OFFICER AND OUTDOOR VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM.

SO APPLICANT IS NOT REQUESTING ANY VARIANCES AND STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS.

THE APPLICANT SHALL HAVE THE BUILDING SPRINKLED ACCORDING TO FIRE CODES, AND THEY SHALL COMPLY WITH, WITH THE SECTION 4.14 OF THE UDC.

COULD THAT CONCLUDE STAFF PRESENTATION AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER MADDEN? JUST A QUICK QUESTION.

SO IS IT BECAUSE IT'S A GATHERING SPACE, IT, I ASSUME IT WAS RETAIL BEFORE.

THEY'RE ASSUMING THAT THERE'LL BE DENSER POPULATION WITHIN, IS THAT WHY THEY HAVE TO CHANGE AND PUT SPRINKLE? UM, SO IF THERE'S OVER, I, THERE'S A CERTAIN NUMBER OF OCCUPANCY.

I BELIEVE A HUNDRED PEOPLE TRIGGERS THE, THE FIRE CODE.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

AND IT'S MAX OCCUPANCY, NOT HOW MANY PEOPLE THEY PLAN ON HAVING.

YES.

COMMISSIONER, WHAT IS SECTION 4.14? THE UC? SO IN ARTICLE FOUR OF THE UDC, THAT'S JUST A SECTION THAT LAYS OUT OUR GENERAL RULE.

SO FOR INSTANCE, YOU CAN'T OPERATE PAST, YOU KNOW, MIDNIGHT, THERE'S OVER A HUNDRED PEOPLE.

YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE SECURITY, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

ANY CONCERNS FROM THE COMMUNITY? I HAVE RECEIVED NO LETTERS EITHER FOR OR OR AGAINST COMMISSIONER COLEY? YES.

UM, I ALWAYS HAVE SOME PROBLEM WHENEVER YOU GUYS RECOMMEND ANY CASE.

'CAUSE UH, I MOVED DOWN TO GRAND PRAIRIE, UH, DECEMBER, 2008 AND IT'S, YOU GUYS HAVE TRANSFORMED THE CITY.

SO TRYING TO VOTE AGAINST YOU GUYS MIGHT NOT, IT'S NOT, IT'S, IT'S GONNA BE AGAINST MY BELIEF.

SO I, WHENEVER I SEE YOU GUYS RECOMMEND SOMETHING, I WANNA GO WITH THAT.

'CAUSE I BELIEVE THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A MARVELOUS JOB.

OKAY.

THAT'S A COMMENT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

IT'S A VERY GOOD COMMENT.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

ANY OTHER, UH, COMMENTS? ANY DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS SUP 23 0 8, 0 0 3 2.

IT'S AN SU REPEAT REQUEST FOR AUTO DETAILING LOCATED AT 2029 EAST MAIN STREET.

SO THIS REQUEST IS ACTUALLY, THEY ARE WORKING, UH, WITH, THEY'RE ASSOCIATED WITH EXISTING CAR DEALERSHIPS ON THE LOT.

SO IT'S NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, THEY'RE JUST DETAILING THE CARS THAT ARE EXISTING THERE.

UM, SO THE SITE IS 0.37 ACRES.

IT IS ZONE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN OPERATING THERE, SO REALLY THEY'RE JUST COMING THROUGH JUST TO DO SOME HOUSE CLEANING AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S PERMITTED AS IT SHOULD BE.

UM, SO IT'S MAINLY MAKE READY STUFF, BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE WASHING CARS ON SITE, THAT'S WHAT'S TRIGGERING THIS SUP.

UM,

[00:10:01]

YOU CAN SEE ON THE SITE PLAN, THEY'RE LOCATED AT THAT SOUTHERN BLUE PORTION.

SO THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE DETAILING THOSE CARS.

AND THEY DO OPERATE FROM 10:00 AM TO 7:00 PM MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

AND THERE'S THREE EMPLOYEES THAT ARE WORKING ON THREE CARS AT A TIME.

BUT AGAIN, THEY'RE ALL SUPPLIED FROM THE AUTO DEALERS UP NORTH ON THAT LOT.

THEY'RE NOT BRINGING ONES OFF LOT, OR IT'S NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC EITHER.

SO THIS IS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THAT LOT WHERE THEY'RE OPERATING.

THE APPLICANT IS NOT REQUESTING ANY VARIANCES AND DDRC RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS.

THE APPLICANT SHALL STORE CHEMICALS, CHEMICALS USED IN OPERATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH FIRE CODE REGULATIONS.

DISCHARGE OF WATER USED TO WASH VEHICLES SHALL BE TO A SANITARY SEWER AND THE APPLICANT SHALL PROVIDE A SAND CRIP TRAP.

THAT CONCLUDES STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS.

I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

COMMISSIONER, COMMISSIONER MADDEN, CAN YOU FLIP BACK TO THE PICTURE REAL QUICK? YES.

OKAY.

ARE THEY OPERA, ARE THEY GONNA BE DOING THE DETAILING OUT IN THE OPEN OR IS IT BACK IN THE FAR IN THE FAR SECTION? I BELIEVE IT'S BACK IN THAT FAR SECTION, YES.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

THAT WAS IT.

YEAH.

I ONLY HAVE ONE QUESTION.

DO THEY HAVE ANY OTHER LOCATIONS? NO.

SO THEY ARE, THEY ARE SPECIFICALLY ASSOCIATED WITH THESE USED CAR DEALERSHIPS AT THIS LOCATION? OKAY.

MM-HMM .

ALRIGHT.

THANK YOU.

MM-HMM.

I THINK THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

ALRIGHT.

GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.

I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT ITEMS 10, 11, 12, 13, AND 14 STAFF IS REQUESTING THAT THESE BE TABLED, UM, MOST OF THEM TO THE NEXT PNZ MEETING.

THE, UH, YARDLEY CASES NUMBER 13 AND 12 TO DECEMBER 11TH.

UH, STAFF FOUND OUT THIS MORNING THAT THE WEBSITE, UH, HAD SOME ISSUES.

AND SO WE GOT SOME CALLS FROM SOME CITIZENS WHO WERE UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD THE MATERIALS, UM, WHILE WE, UH, MET LEGAL REQUIREMENTS WITH POSTING IN THE FORT WORTH STAR TELEGRAM AND IN FRONT OF CITY HALL.

OUT OF A, AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION.

AND IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THOSE CITIZENS ARE ABLE TO ACCESS THE MATERIALS, WE ARE REQUESTING THAT THEY BE TABLED TONIGHT.

YES.

THANK YOU.

SO THIS NEXT ITEM IS A TEXT AMENDMENT, AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE, THE BRIEF CHANGES, BUT I WILL NOTE THAT IF YOU HAVE ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS, I'M GOING TO ASK RYAN HARRELL WITH ENGINEERING TO ANSWER THOSE.

UH, SO THIS REQUEST IS TO ARTICLE 15 OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, WHICH ADDRESSES FLOODPLAIN.

WE'RE LOOKING SPECIFICALLY AT SECTION SIX, WHICH IS THE BASIS FOR ESTABLISHING SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREAS.

SO THE CHANGES THAT WE ARE PROPOSING WITH THIS TEXT AMENDMENT IS TO AMEND THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREAS ADOPTED BY THE CITY.

WE'RE UPDATING THE EFFECTIVE DATES FOR ELLIS COUNTY, AND THEN WE'RE ADDING A REFERENCE TO JOHNSON COUNTY.

SO THE CITY GRAND PRAIRIE HAS, UH, CITY LAND AND OUR ETJ WITHIN FOUR COUNTIES.

SO CURRENTLY JOHNSON COUNTY IS NOT INCLUDED IN THOSE COUNTIES.

WE'RE ADDING THAT AND THEN UPDATING SOME EFFECTIVE DATES.

UH, SO THESE ARE THE CHANGES THAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO MAKE.

AND AGAIN, IF YOU HAVE ANY TECH TECHNICAL QUESTIONS DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING, WE DO HAVE A STAFF MEMBER FROM ENGINEERING WHO CAN ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.

THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

I CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

COMMISSIONERS ANY QUESTIONS? I THINK WE'RE GOOD ON THAT.

THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONER.

I'LL PULL THIS UP A LITTLE BIT.

UH, THIS ONE IS MINE.

UM, UH, ITEM NUMBER 16, TAM 23 0 9 0 0 8.

UM, THIS ONE IS BEFORE YOU AT THE DIRECTION OF COUNSEL.

UH, WE WERE DIRECTED TO, UH, COME UP WITH ORDINANCES TO REGULATE, UH, SHORT, SHORT-TERM RENTALS.

UH, FOR EXAMPLE, AIRBNB AND VRBO.

UM, WE ARE INSTRUCTED TO BRING FORTH TWO OPTIONS FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER.

UM, ONE BEING A, UH, A COMPLETE BAN OF SHORT TERM RENTALS IN SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS.

UM, THE OTHER ONE BEING THE OPTION FOR A TEMPORARY BAN IN, FOR, IN, IN ALL DISTRICTS OF ALL STR UM, WHAT'S BEING PUT FORTH BEFORE YOU, UH, OR BOTH OF THOSE OPTIONS? YOU CAN VOTE, UH, ON EITHER ONE, YES OR NO.

UH, WHATEVER YOUR RECOMMENDATION IS WILL JUST BE FORWARDED TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

UM, ALONG WITH, ALONG WITH THOSE TWO OPTIONS, I'VE ALSO INCLUDED A DEFINITION OF SHORT TERM RESIDENTIAL RENTALS.

UH, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION PURPOSES.

UH, SO THIS IS WHAT WOULD BE AMENDED IN THE USE CHART CURRENTLY IN THE USE CHART.

WE ACTUALLY DO HAVE A SHORT TERM RESIDENTIAL RENTAL AS A USE IDENTIFIED IN THE USE CHART.

UH, CURRENTLY IT'S NOT PERMITTED IN ANY DISTRICT, UH, WHAT THE AMENDMENT THAT'S BEFORE YOU WOULD BE THE THREE XS THAT ARE UNDERLINED, WHICH WOULD, THAT MEANS THAT THE SHORT TERM RENTALS

[00:15:01]

UH, THE SECOND, THE SECOND OPTION BEFORE YOU, UH, THIS IS THE TEMPORARY ONE YEAR BAN ON SHORT, SHORT TERM RENTALS.

UM, BASICALLY I, IT IDENTIFIES IT AS AN INTERIM PROVISION.

UM, THE SECOND PART PROVIDES B PROVIDES THAT CURRENT, UH, SHORT, SHORT TERM RENTALS THAT ARE OPERATING, CAN CONTINUE THOSE OPERATIONS AS LONG AS THEY COMPLY WITH THE NON-CONFORMING, UH, REGULATIONS.

UM, AND IT, AND IT PROVIDES THAT SINCE IT'S A TEMPORARY BAN, THAT IT'LL EXPIRE IN ONE YEAR FROM APPROVAL.

UH, AND HERE IS THE DEFINITION THAT IS PROPOSED TO BE ADDED, UH, TO THE DEFINITIONS IN THE UDCE.

ALL RIGHT? AND WE ARE PRESENTING THIS BEFORE YOU, WITHOUT ANY RECOMMENDATION.

AGAIN, THIS, THIS WAS, UH, DIRECTION FROM COUNSEL TO BRING FORWARD FOR THEM, FOR, FOR THEM TO DECIDE, UH, BECAUSE THESE ARE AMENDMENTS TO THE, UH, UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, IT HAS TO COME BEFORE THIS BODY, BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL CAN, CAN MAKE A DETERMINATION ON IT.

SO, COMMISSIONER, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? COMMISSIONER MADDEN? UM, DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW HOW MANY ARE REGISTERED RIGHT NOW? UH, OR DO WE KNOW? I IT'S AROUND 200.

THAT'S, DO Y'ALL KNOW RYAN SIMPSON TOLD ME IT WAS AROUND 200.

I I DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFICS I WOULD HAVE TO GET WITH CODE.

OKAY.

AND THEN, UM, OKAY.

UM, AND I GUESS FOR MY UNDERSTANDING, HOW WOULD THE CITY NOT GET SOME LEGAL PUSHBACK FROM THE OWNERS OF THESE PROPERTIES IF THERE WERE TO BE A DELAY OR A ONE YEAR, WHATEVER, ANY OF THIS, THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR THAT.

YES.

OKAY.

AND, AND, UM, AND THOSE ARE CONVERSATIONS THAT I'D RATHER HAVE IN EXECUTIVE SESSION SURE.

AND, AND WE CAN GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION IF THAT'S WHAT THE CHAIRMAN AND, AND THEN, AND, UH, I DON'T NEED ANY MORE INFORMATION ON IT PERSONALLY.

I WAS JUST ASKING.

OKAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND, AND I, I'LL ALSO ADD THAT AS A COMPANION ORDINANCE TO, TO THESE UDC CHANGES.

'CAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE SHORT TERM RENTAL REGULATIONS AND THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, UM, TO ADDRESS THE CURRENTLY OPERATING SHORT-TERM RENTAL, UH, AREAS, THERE'S GONNA BE AMENDMENT TO WHAT'S IN THE CODE OF ORDINANCES AS WELL, OR PROPOSED AMENDMENT.

SO YOU'RE, YOU'RE NOT SEEING THAT BECAUSE THAT'S NOT IN THE UDC.

THAT'LL JUST BE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL AS A COMPANION CASE TO THIS COMMERS.

ANY ANYMORE QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER KO? SO, TWO THINGS.

SO IT SEEMS LIKE THE COUNCIL TOLD YOU TO COME UP WITH ONE OF TWO OPTIONS.

CORRECT.

SO THERE WAS ALREADY A DECISION KIND OF BEING MADE ABOUT SHORT-TERM RENTALS AREN'T LONG FOR THIS EARTH IN GRAND PRAIRIE.

I, I, I, I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT I, THESE WERE JUST THE OPTIONS WE WERE TOLD TO BRING BACK BEFORE THEM.

AND, AND THAT'S WHAT ARE OUR NEIGHBORING CITIES DOING IN THIS REGARD? LIKE, IRVING, ARLINGTON, DALLAS, IRVING, I, I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH IRVING.

UH, I AM FAMILIAR WITH DALLAS.

DALLAS PASSED SOMETHING SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING, UM, IN THE USE CHART.

WHEREAS, UH, UM, SHORT TERM RENTALS ARE NOT PERMITTED IN SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS.

THAT THAT'S WHAT DALLAS PASSED RECENTLY.

MM-HMM .

YEAH.

COMMISSIONER PEREZ, I BELIEVE IRVING ALSO, UH, A FEW YEARS BACK BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM THAT THEY WERE HAVING BROUGHT IT BEFORE THEIR CITY COUNCIL, AND THEY DECIDED ON SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR TO THIS.

MM-HMM .

I, I BELIEVE THAT EVERYBODY, ALL OF THE CITIES ARE DOING SOMETHING.

'CAUSE IT IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND IT'S VERY STICKY.

MM-HMM .

YOU KNOW? RIGHT.

IT IS VERY STICKY.

AND I, I WOULD BE, AND MAYBE I SHOULDN'T SAY THIS, BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THERE'LL BE WITH REGARD TO PEOPLE MOVING TO THE STATE AND TO THE CITY, THAT THAT WOULD, THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND ALL OF THAT, I'M PRETTY SURE THERE'S A LOT OF FLAPPING ABOUT WHAT IS PERMISSIBLE AND WHAT IS NOT.

BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE BRINGING EVENTS TO THE CITY AND YOU'RE TRYING TO GET GAMES AND THINGS HERE, THEN THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE LOOK FOR.

SO IT'S KIND OF A CON REAL CONTROVERSIAL, UH, THING.

UNLESS THEY'RE GONNA HAVE A, YOU MAKE SOMETHING JUST FOR, FOR THAT, FOR THOSE TYPE FOLKS, THOSE, UM, UH, INTERIM, UM, TIMES THAT THEY NEED, UH, HOUSING MM-HMM .

AND, AND I WILL SAY THE, THE PROPOSED INTERIM BAND THAT'S BASED ON A MODEL THAT PLANO, UH, IS USING, THEY ADOPTED THAT OVER THE SUMMER.

UM, SO IS THERE INTERIM BAND JUST BASED ON EVENT, IS IT, UH, BASED ON EVENTS COMING PARTICULAR SPECIFIC EVENTS? OR IT'S JUST OPEN-ENDED? HOW, HOW IS THAT THE, THE INTERIM BAND, THE INTENT OF THE INTERIM BAND IS TO, IS FOR, UH, INFORMATION GATHERING, UM, TO, TO TO SEE WHAT AREAS WILL AND WON'T WORK FOR SHORT-TERM RENTALS.

THAT, THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE INTERIM BAND.

AND, UM, COUNSEL JUST WANTED THE OPTION TO DECIDE, YOU KNOW,

[00:20:01]

RIGHT.

YEAH.

THAT IS GONNA BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THAT PLAYS OUT, BECAUSE THERE'S TROUBLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FENCE.

MM-HMM .

YOU KNOW, AND AS A HOMEOWNER AND ALL OF US ARE HOMEOWNERS, IT'S, UH, REALLY, UH, DISHEARTENING THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SLEEP.

ARE YOU TRYING TO HAVE A PEACEFUL NIGHT AND YOU GOT ALL THE PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, PARTYING AND EVERYTHING DOWN, YOU KNOW, DOWN THE STREET.

SO IT, YOU KNOW, IT, IT'S NOT REALLY FAIR TO HOMEOWNERS IN A SENSE.

UH, COMMISSIONER COCO? YES.

UH, MY APOLOGIES.

I JUST WALKED IN.

I HAD A FACULTY MEETING WITH TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS.

UM, BUT IF I, I'LL, I'LL, I'LL BE HERE FOR THE, UH, OFFICIAL MEETING, BUT, UH, THE, THE BAN, THE POSSIBLE BAN WOULD BE EFFECTIVE WITH EVERYBODY, EVEN THE CURRENT, UM, SHORT-TERM RENTALS? NO, THE, THE CURRENT SHORT-TERM RENTALS WOULD BE, UH, CLASSIFIED AS NON-CONFORMING USES, UH, JUST FOR THAT SECTION.

AND AS LONG AS THEY COMPLY WITH THE NON-CONFORMING USES, UM, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE.

THEY CONTINUE TO RENEW THEIR ANNUAL OR, YOU KNOW, CORRECT.

BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE TO PASS A STRINGENT.

CORRECT.

UM, UH, BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER AND I, WE OWN AN AIRBNB IN GRAND PRAIRIE, AND WE JUST HAD OUR INSPECTION AND THIS TIME, UH, HE, HE WAS WONDERFUL.

WE HAD SO MANY THINGS TO, TO, TO FULFILL AND, UH, UH, MY HUSBAND HAD TO GO AND MAKE SURE HE PURCHASED ADDITIONAL THINGS THAT THE, THE, THE HOME NEEDED.

AND, UH, WE'RE VERY HAPPY BECAUSE THEY, EVERYTHING IS IN WRITING, YOU KNOW, AND, AND PEOPLE COMING IN, THEY KNOW THAT BY 10 O'CLOCK, NO NOISE LEVELS.

AND MY DAUGHTER'S BEING VERY, VERY STRICT ON THAT.

MM-HMM .

AND WE'RE VERY HAPPY.

AND OUR AIRBNB IS DOING VERY WELL.

AND OUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR GOT THEIR ONLY RENTERS.

AND, UH, UNFORTUNATELY EVEN THE, UH, UH, THE SQUAD TEAM HAD TO COME, UH, PROFESSIONAL POLICE.

AND THOSE ARE MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS.

THEY'RE REGULAR GRAND PRAIRIE RESIDENTS.

OUR HOME AIRBNB HAS BEEN DOING GREAT.

AND IN FACT, THEY GAVE US A COMPLIMENT BECAUSE NO COMPLAINTS.

SO, UH, I'M VERY INTERESTED, 'CAUSE I KNOW WE HAVE MANY, MANY, UH, HOMEOWNERS, BUT WE ALSO HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE FOLLOWING AND, AND WE'RE VERY, VERY, WE'RE BEING, UH, BEING COMPLIANT WITH WHAT GRAND PRAIRIE IS REQUESTING OF US.

SO, THANK YOU.

I DO HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION.

YOU SAID THE, IF THE ONES THAT ARE ALREADY IN PLACE, WE'RE GONNA REMAIN, BUT THAT, I MEAN, REMAIN ONLY IF THEY'RE COMPLIANT, BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE 10 COMPLAINTS OR 20 COMPLAINTS FROM THE ONE THAT'S ALREADY ESTABLISHED, WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH THAT? SO THAT'S GONNA HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED IN THAT COMPANION ORDINANCE THAT'S IN THE CODE OF ORDINANCES FOR SHORT TERM RENTALS, YOU KNOW? MM-HMM .

WHAT YOU'RE KIND OF, WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS, YOU KNOW, THREE STRIKES AND YOU'RE OUT TYPE OF THING.

MM-HMM .

YOU KNOW, AND, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT ALL WILL HAVE TO BE DECIDED AND DELIBERATED, YOU KNOW, WITH WHAT THEY'RE GONNA DO WITH THAT ORDINANCE.

SO THERE'S NOTHING REALLY IN PLACE ON THAT NUMBER.

THERE'S NOTHING IN PLACE WITH THAT.

OKAY.

AND, AND IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT THEY DECIDE TO DO.

YOU KNOW, IF, IF, YOU KNOW, THERE'S THE INTERIM BAND, YOU KNOW, VERSUS A BAND AND, AND SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS AND, YOU KNOW, DEPENDING ON THE OPTIONS THAT THEY WANT TO DO, YOU KNOW, IT'S ALL KIND OF COMPLICATED RIGHT NOW AND WE'RE JUST KIND OF PRESENTING IT TO YOU AS YOU KNOW, AS WE GET IT.

OKAY.

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

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

WE HAVE ANY OTHER CASES? WE'RE GOOD? OKAY.

YES, SIR.

THERE BEING NO MORE CASES.

WE WILL CLOSE THE, UM, BRIEFING AT 6:00 PM AND I RECONVENE AT SIX 30.

THANK YOU.

WELCOME

SO YOU MIGHT, SO THIS MIGHT BE ARLINGTON, ISD THERE.

THE PROPERTY UNFORTUNATELY IS DIVIDED INTO BOTH I ARLINGTON, ISD TO THE WEST AND GRAND PRAIRIE IS S TO, TO THE EAST.

MM-HMM .

SO, UM, DEFINITELY GRAND PRAIRIE, ISD WOULD HAVE SOME OF THOSE RESIDENTS ATTENDING GRAND PRAIRIE ISD SCHOOLS LIKELY.

SO, YES, MA'AM.

OKAY.

UM, I'LL TRY TO RESEARCH TO SEE WHICH IS THE NEAREST ELEMENTARY TO THAT LOCATION.

GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.

MY NAME IS, IS JOE LEHMAN.

UM, MY ADDRESS IS 9 5 0 5 HILLVIEW DRIVE IN DALLAS, TEXAS.

AND, UH, ZIP CODE 7 5 2 3 1.

UM, I WORK AT SPIS ENGINEERING.

I'M THE CIVIL ENGINEER ON THE PROJECT, SO I'M REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT MM-HMM .

THIS EVENING.

I'M FORTUNATELY I DO NOT HAVE AN ANSWER, UM, FOR YOUR QUESTION, COMMISSIONER.

I DO NOT KNOW WHICH SCHOOLS, UH, AND WHAT PERCENTAGE THE RESIDENTS WILL BE.

UM, BUT AS, AS, UM, JUNE MENTIONED, THE, UH, PROPERTY IS SPLIT BOTH WITH THE ISD AND THE COUNTY LINE ALSO CUTS THROUGH.

SO I THINK IT FOLLOWS THAT SAME LINE.

I ONLY HAVE ONE QUESTION AND THAT, THAT, I KNOW THIS IS, PROPERTY'S BEEN WORKED ON FOR A LITTLE WHILE MM-HMM .

WAS THERE EVER ANY, ANY RESIDENTIAL MEETINGS AT ALL WITH, UH, SO I'M, I'M NOT 100% SURE 'CAUSE I WASN'T INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT DURING THE ORIGINAL ZONING MM-HMM .

BUT I, I REACHED OUT TO THE APPLICANT TO DISCUSS THAT.

AND, UM, HE SAID THAT THERE WERE NO, UM, I GUESS THERE WERE NO ADDITIONAL MEETINGS BEYOND THE STANDARD, UM MM-HMM .

NOTICES MM-HMM .

THAT RESIDENTS NEARBY RECEIVED THE 300 FEET.

YES.

AND I BELIEVE THE, THE REASON FOR THAT WAS PRIOR TO THIS ZONING, THE PREVIOUS ZONING WAS ALSO A PD THAT ALLOWED MULTIFAMILY AND ACTUALLY ALLOWED MORE MULTIFAMILY THAN WHAT THEY MM-HMM

[00:40:01]

CHANGED IT TO.

MM-HMM .

SO THEY SAW THAT THEY WERE REDUCING THAT NUMBER, THEY WERE ADDING SINGLE FAMILY INSTEAD OF COMMERCIAL AS WELL.

SO THAT'S A GOOD THING, BUT IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR MM-HMM .

AND REACH OUT TO, TO THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE ALREADY THERE, YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD BE A, A GOOD THING, A GOODWILL MEASURE, I BELIEVE.

YEAH, YEAH, FOR SURE.

SO JUST, JUST AS A FOLLOW UP, SO, UM, YES MA'AM, PROBABLY IT CAN BE LIKE A 50 50 50% OF THE, OF THE FAMILIES MAY GO TO ARLINGTON, ISD AND THE OTHER 50 MIGHT BE GRAND PRAIRIE, ISDI PERSONALLY DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WE GOT WAIT ON IS SPLIT.

UM, BUT AS FAR AS WHERE THAT LINE RESIDES ON THE SIDE PLAN, IF IT IS JUST A, UH, GEOMETRIC, UM, AREA CALCULATION, THEN IT'S ABOUT 50 50.

MM-HMM .

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT, UH, WHEN, WHEN THAT HAPPENS, WHEN, WHEN THE BUILDINGS ARE UP THAT, THAT THEY WILL APPROACH THE ISDS AND LET 'EM KNOW IT, BECAUSE IT, IT VARIES.

YOU NEVER KNOW IF IT'S GONNA BE A LOT OF KIDS OR JUST A FEW KIDS, BUT THEY WON'T KNOW THAT UNTIL THEY ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, COME TO THE PROPERTY.
