WE ROLLING IN AND OUT.[Planning & Zoning Briefing 032524]
READY.WELCOME TO THE STAFF BRIEFING OF THE CITY OF GRAND PRAIRIE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR THE MEETING OF MARCH 25TH, 2024.
I'M CHERYL SMITH, CHAIRMAN OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
THIS STAFF BRIEFING OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING IS HERE BY CALL TO ORDER AT 5:32 PM THIS PORTION OF THE MEETING IS WHERE THE STAFF BRIEFS THE COMMISSION AND PREVIEW THE CASES.
ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA COMMISSION MEMBERS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS THAT MAY FACILITATE THE MEETING AND THE PRESENTATION OF THE CASES.
NO ACTION WILL BE TAKEN DURING PUBLIC HEARING, WILL TAKE PLACE DURING A REGULAR MEETING, WHICH WILL BEGIN OR EARLY THAN 6:30 PM I'LL NOW CONDUCT THE ROLL CALL MEMBERS TO CONFIRM THE PRESENCE OF A FORUM.
AFTER I CALL YOUR NAME, PLEASE SAY HERE CHERYL SMITH.
HERE, LET THE RECORD REFLECT THAT ALL MEMBERS OF FRESNO EXCEPT FOR CARL RAMEZ, UH, JULIA PEREZ AND ANNA COCA COMMISSIONERS, PLEASE REMEMBER TO TURN ON YOUR MICROPHONE, BUT WELL THAT FAR, I FORGET THAT.
ARE THERE ANY ITEMS WE CAN DISCUSS IN EXECUTIVE SESSION? NO MA'AM.
CHAIR, FAB, ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO? HI CJ.
WHAT'S GOING? OKAY, GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.
SO THE ITEM NUMBER FOUR ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA IS A SITE PLAN AMENDMENT.
SO THIS IS A-R-C-C-G CHURCH LOCATED AT 1 7 7 5 WEST BARDON STP TWENTY FOUR OH TWO ZERO ZERO ZERO SIX.
SO YOU MAY RECALL THIS WAS ACTUALLY, UM, A CHURCH THAT GOT THEIR SITE PLAN APPROVED BACK IN 2021.
THEY WENT THROUGH THE PERMITTING PROCESS AND CAME BACK AROUND AND ASKED STAFF, HEY, WE WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE THE BUILDING EXTERIOR.
WE'RE RUNNING INTO SOME COST PROHIBITIVE ISSUES.
SO THIS, UM, OUTLINE RED KIND OF SHOWS WHERE THE CHURCH BUILDING FOR THE MAIN FACILITY THAT THEY'RE, UM, INTENDING ON CONSTRUCTING WILL BE LOCATED.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY'RE NOT CHANGING ANYTHING TO THE SITE PLAN OR THE LANDSCAPE PLAN.
MAINLY THIS WILL BE BUILDING MATERIAL CHANGES, WHICH, UM, ALSO INVOLVES SOME BUILDING HEIGHT CHANGES.
SO ON THE TOP IS WHAT WE APPROVED BACK IN 2021.
THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE CMU BLOCK HAVING TWO DIFFERENT TYPE OF TEXTURES AND THE, UH, HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING BEING WHERE THEY ARE SHOWN.
IT WAS MORE OF A GENERALLY KIND OF A UNIFORM WITH SOME TEXTURES AND MATERIAL DIFFERENCES.
THE ONE AT THE BOTTOM IS WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING NOW.
SO WHAT YOU CAN SEE IS THEIR BUILDING FACADE WILL BE NOW USING A BRICK BASE WITH EFIS AND OVERALL THEY'RE GONNA HAVE THE DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN COLORS AS ONE OF THE ELEMENTS AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE HOW THEY ARE HAVING LIKE A LITTLE CURVE LINES AND PROJECTIONS WITH THE CROSS ON THE TOP TO CREATE SOME VERTICAL INTERESTS.
UM, ANOTHER THING THAT THEY'RE CHANGING IS THAT THEY HAD A PORTE RICOCHET WITH THE DOME, LIKE A GLASS, UM, STRUCTURE.
THEY WANT TO CHANGE THAT TO A METAL CANOPY.
AGAIN, THIS IS KIND OF REPRESENTING WHAT WAS APPROVED IN 2021.
THIS GENERALLY SHOWS THE BUILDING ELEVATION AND ITS MATERIALS.
AND THIS IS THE NEW BUILDING ELEVATION.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE BUILDINGS ARE SLIGHTLY HIGHER AT THE CENTER WITH WHERE THE CURVED WALL IS PROPOSED.
UM, THEY ARE, THE MAIN THING THAT WE WANNA HIGHLIGHT TO YOU IS THE MATERIAL CHANGES.
SO THE APPLICANT IS NOT REQUESTING ANY VARIANCES AND THIS ACTUALLY COMPLIES WITH THE UDC REQUIREMENT FOR A SITE PLAN IN THIS AREA.
UM, IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF AT THIS TIME? MM-HMM
UH, DID THEY HAVE A BOULEVARD OVER THERE? SO THEY ARE, UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY HAVE A LAKE RIDGE IN THE BACK AND THEY FACE THE BAR AND THEY HAVE A MAP AREA ROAD.
SO THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE BEING THE NORTH, IT'S NOT REALLY ALONG ANY MAJOR, UH, HIGHWAYS PER SE, BUT THE BARN ROOM OF ANY TREES OR ANYTHING OR, UM, AS YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE TREES ARE ALREADY GONE MOSTLY, BUT IF YOU, IF THEY DO ANY CHANGES TO THEIR PREVIOUS PLANS, THEY ACTUALLY CAME THROUGH IN 2021.
SO THEY'RE NOT REALLY SUBJECT TO THE CURRENT TREE MITIGATION PLANS BECAUSE THEY'RE VESTED GRAND GRANDFATHER.
SO I GUESS OTHER THAN THAT THEY'RE SURROUNDED BY ALL SINGLE FAMILIES.
SO HAVE THAT BEEN ANY CONVERSATIONS? SO AGAIN, THIS IS A SITE PLAN.
SO THEY DID POST THE SIGNS AS REQUIRED.
THEY POSTED FOUR SIGNS, THREE OH LONG BARDON AND ONE ALONG MATTHEW ROAD.
WE HAVE NOT HEARD ANY RESPONSES YET.
[00:05:01]
BEEN OFFICIALLY SUBMITTED KNOWING IN INCREASE, BUT WE'LL KEEP AN EYE OUT UNTIL THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING.BUT I MEAN JUST, I'M JUST SAYING THAT MM-HMM
WE HAVEN'T ACTUALLY REACHED OUT AND YET TRIED TO HAVE SET UP A MEETING IN THE CONVERSATION.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER? UM, JULIE, WHERE IS PARKING? YES.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE THE, THE FRONT FIELD IS GONNA BE ALL PARKING FOR THE FACILITY.
AGAIN, THEY'RE NOT PROPOSING ANY CHANGES TO THE LANDSCAPE OR THE PARKING OR THE BUILDING.
STAFF HAS REVIEWED THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE ENOUGH PARKING.
SO THE AREA KIND OF BETWEEN THE RED LINE, WHICH IS THE BUILDING OUTLINE AND THE FRONT OF THE BARN, THAT'S WHERE YOUR PARKING WILL BE PLACED.
THEY DON'T INTEND ON CHANGING ANYTHING IN TERMS OF SITE PLAN AND LANDSCAPE.
THEY REALLY WANNA USE A DIFFERENT MATERIAL SAYING THAT THE CMU HAS BEEN PRICEY LATELY.
IT LOOKS LIKE A BEAUTIFUL CHANGE TO ME.
IT LOOKS, IT LOOKED LIKE A, A BETTER LOOK TO ME OVERALL.
IT'S AMAZING THAT THAT WOULD BE LESS MONEY LOOKING.
AND SO WE'RE, WE'RE NOT EXCEEDING THE HEIGHT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT OR WHATEVER CROSS.
SO THE ITEM NUMBER FIVE AND SIX IS A JOIN ITEM CPA 24 0 2 0 0 0 4 AND ZON 24 0 2 0 0 0 4.
THIS IS A COMPREHENSIVE, UH, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AMENDMENT AND ZONE CHANGE SLASH CONCEPT PLAN FOR A OFFICE WAREHOUSE.
SO THIS IS THE LOCATION WHERE, UM, IT'S SOUTH OF JEFFERSON, UM, WEST OF GREAT SOUTHWEST.
UM, THE AREA CURRENTLY IS SHOWING UP AS A MIXED USE.
THIS IS CURRENTLY VACANT PROPERTY.
THE APPLICANT WISHES TO, UH, ADOPT A PD ZONING TO ALLOW SOME LIGHT IN, UM, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES THERE.
SO I'LL COVER THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE IN DETAIL.
SO BASICALLY THIS WHOLE AREA WAS ZONED FOR HOSPITAL DISTRICT BACK IN 1987 WHEN THE HOSPITAL WAS ACTUALLY THERE.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE ACROSS THE STREET, UH, OF THE SO GREAT SOUTHWEST, THEY ACTUALLY HAVE SOME SMALLER, UH, MEDICAL OFFICES AND OTHER THINGS THAT ARE ALLOWED BY HD DISTRICT.
THIS HAS, UM, STAYED VACANT FOR A WHILE.
WE HAVE HAD DIFFERENT PEOPLE COMING IN AND ASKING CAN WE DO A STRAIGHT ZONE CHANGE FROM, UH, HOSPITAL DISTRICT TO LIGHT DISTRICT DISTRICT IN WHICH WE SAID THAT DOES NOT ALLOW WHAT THE FUTURE LINEAGE MAP.
SO THIS APPLICANT IS ASKING IF SO CAN WE DO A HOSPITAL, UH, A PLAN DEVELOPMENT WITH HOSPITAL DISTRICT BUT ALLOWING VERY FEW USES IN THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AS YOU HAVE CONSIDERED IN IN THE PAST STRAIGHT ZONE CHANGE.
THAT MEANS ANYTHING THAT IS ALLOWED BY RIGHT AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WILL BE ALLOWED.
SO THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT THE, THAT WAS THE CONCERN FROM THE CITY SAYING THAT WE DON'T WANT ANY AUTOMOTIVE USES OR ANY CONVENIENCE STORES OR ANY, ANY OTHER, UH, MANUFACTURING USES.
BUT THEY'RE SAYING, WHAT IF WE DID A PD WITH THE H DISTRICT BUT FOCUS MORE ON FLEX OFFICE WAREHOUSES.
SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE CONSIDERING HERE TODAY.
SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE AERIAL VIEW OF THE HOSPITAL HERE IN THE OPEN SPACE AND OTHER EXISTING USES.
SO AGAIN, STEPH IS UNABLE TO SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE THE REQUESTED ZONING DOES NOT ALLOW WITH THE FUTURE LINE USE MAP OF MIXED USE.
THEY'RE ASKING FOR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, BUT WE JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THIS ARE GENERALLY CONSISTENT WITH SOME OF THE SURROUNDING USES AND COULD POSSIBLY BE A COMPLIMENTARY USE FOR THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT.
WITH THAT, I'LL JUST COVER A LITTLE BIT MORE IN DETAIL OF THE ZONE CHAINS REQUEST ITSELF.
SO AGAIN, THE CURRENT ZONING IS HOSPITAL DISTRICT.
THIS WAS ESTABLISHED BACK IN 1987.
SO THEY WERE VERY SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON MENTAL HEALTH AND PHYSICAL HEALTH.
SO OFFICES, MEDICAL OFFICES OR ANY HEALTH LABORATORIES OR UM, ANY SUPPORTIVE RETAIL USES.
'CAUSE SOMETIMES HOSPITALS WILL HAVE THEIR LITTLE FLOWER SHOPS AND
SO IT KIND OF FOCUSED ON MEDICAL USE, WHAT USES ARE NEEDED FOR HOSPITAL, ANY OTHER SUPPORTIVE USES SUCH AS CAN WE HAVE A MEDICAL RESEARCH FACILITIES, CAN WE HAVE OTHER CARE FACILITIES? SO THOSE WERE KIND OF WHAT WAS ALLOWED IN THE MEDICAL USES IN THE PAST.
SO THIS IS THE CONCEPT PLAN THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO ADOPT WITH THEIR ZONE CHANGE.
AS YOU KNOW, THAT CONCEPT PLAN TIES THEM DOWN TO THIS PHYSICAL LAYOUT, UH, WHICH KIND OF HELPS US TO KNOW, HEY, THE, UH, THE TRUCK COURT WILL BE INTERNAL.
IT WILL NOT FACE ANY OF THE, UH, STREETS SURROUNDING THE PROPERTY.
SO WITH THAT, THESE ARE SOME OF THE RENDERINGS OF THE CONCEPT ELEVATIONS THAT WHAT THEY WANT TO BUILD, UH, IT'LL BE CONCRETE TIP WALL WITH SOME DESIGN ELEMENTS.
SO THEY'RE BASICALLY PROPOSING TWO BUILDINGS, UH, KIND OF LAID OUT IN A SUCH A WAY THAT THEY WILL HAVE AN INTERNAL, UH, TRUCK COURT AND ALL THE EMPLOYEE PARKING WALL BE, UH, ALONG THE MID CITIES BOULEVARD AND THE GREAT SOUTHWEST.
SO HERE'S SOME OF THE USES THAT ARE CURRENTLY EXISTING.
ON THE TOP LEFT, YOU CAN SEE THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST
[00:10:01]
RECENT, UH, CYCLING AND ZONE CHAINS THAT YOU HAVE CONSIDERED.THEY HAVE A, UH, FLEX OFFICE SPACE WHERE THEY HAD A GENERAL RETAIL ZONING AND ASK FOR IT TO BE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL SO THEY CAN FIND DIFFERENT TYPE OF TENANTS OR MORE BROADER TENANTS.
THEY DO HAVE THE, UH, RIDER TRUCKS ON THE DIAGONALLY TO THE, UM, NORTHEAST SIDE FROM THE UH, PROPERTY.
BUT AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE FAR RIGHT, THE THREE ROWS OF OFFICE CONDOS, THOSE ARE THE USES THAT WERE PROBABLY ALIGNING WITH THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT.
SO THEY HAVE, UM, YOU KNOW, THE SCANNING IMAGING, UM, OTHER DOCTOR'S OFFICES AND OTHER MEDICAL FACILITIES.
SO THE PICTURE IN THE MIDDLE, I JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU THE, UH, ENTRY WHERE THEY WILL BE HAVING THE ACCESS FROM TWO FROM THE UH, HOSPITAL BOULEVARD.
YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THAT IT WAS NOT ORIGINALLY DESIGNED FOR A VERY HEAVY TRUCK ENTRIES.
OKAY, SO HERE'S KIND OF A SUMMARY OF WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING SO FAR, RIGHT WHERE IT SAYS HD SLASH I, THAT WILL BE THE, ALL THE PERMISSIBLE USES THAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THIS PD.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE, ALL THE USES THAT ARE ON TOP THREE ARE ALREADY ALLOWED IN THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT AND THEY'RE GENERALLY KIND OF CLINICS AND, YOU KNOW, CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS, WHICH IS ALL OUT IN THE ZONING, THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO BASICALLY FOCUS ON THE BOTTOM ROWS WHERE IT'S NOT, DOES NOT HAVE THE X UNDER THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT.
THOSE ARE THE NEW USES THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO ADD, WHICH INCLUDES FLEX INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE DISTRIBUTION, CENTER WAREHOUSE, E-COMMERCE, FULFILLMENT CENTERS, GARDEN CENTERS, PLANT NURSERY CONTRACTORS, SHOP, INDOOR ONLY OFFICE SHOWROOM, INDOOR ONLY.
WITH THAT, I JUST WANNA COVER THE APPLICANT PLANS TO HAVE A PRESENTATION AND SHARE WITH YOU.
WE REQUESTED THEM, HEY, IF YOU HAVE LIKE A POSSIBLE TENANT, CAN YOU GIVE US SOME EXAMPLES? SO AT LEAST THE COUNCIL AND OUR PNZ UNDERSTANDS WHAT TYPE OF END USERS YOU ARE IMAGINING.
SO THESE ARE JUST A SAMPLE LIST OF POSSIBLE TENANTS THAT THEY LISTED.
DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE GONNA COME.
THEY LISTED FLOOR AND DECOR, DECOR AND FERGUSON PLUMBING SUPPLIES, SUCH AS, DO THEY NEED LIKE A SHOWROOM, LARGE SHOWROOM INDOOR AND THEN THEY NEED LIKE A WAREHOUSE OR STOCKING ROOM SPACES.
SO ANOTHER USE THAT THEY WANTED TO CONSIDER WAS IF THE CITY DESIRED.
WE WERE TRYING TO FOCUS AND CARRY OVER SOME OF THE HD ALLOWABLE USES SUCH AS UH, ENGINEERING LABS.
SO THEY HAVE UH, MENTIONED SOME ENGINEERING LAB FOR, UH, THE USES FOR CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING.
HOWEVER, WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THESE USES WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN THE HD.
SO IF THEY GET THE PD APPROVED TO INCLUDE THOSE USES THAT, THAT ARE AT THE BOTTOM TO BE ALLOWED IN THIS PD BUYER, RIGHT, THEN THEY CAN GO STRAIGHT TO SITE PLAN BUILDING THOSE TWO BUILDINGS AND UM, WOULD HAVE NO ISSUES GETTING A CO AS LONG AS THOSE USES THAT INTO THESE, UM, USES THAT WERE ALLOWED ALLOWING WITH THIS PD.
THIS CONCLUDES STAFF PRESENTATION.
IS ANY QUESTION FOR STAFF? I KNOW THIS IS QUITE A BIT TO DIGEST
UM, WHAT INDUSTRIAL DOES THAT MM-HMM
DOES THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE ANY MANUFACTURING.
MANUFACTURING, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.
AND UM, JUST AS THE COMMENT TO THE REST OF THE COMMISSION.
SO IF YOU LOOK ON OSLER DRIVE, WHICH IS SOUTH OF THE HOSPITAL, THERE'S A LOT, THERE'S LIKE A WHOLE STRING OF, UM, OFFICES THAT ARE, A LOT OF THEM ARE MEDICAL STUFF, SO IT STILL KIND OF SERVES THE HOSPITAL.
ANY OTHER QUESTION? GO BACK TO YOUR RECOMMENDATION.
UH, I JUST REALIZED THAT NEEDS TO BE UPDATED.
BUT BASICALLY, UM, THIS IS THE SAME RECOMMENDATION AS THE ZONING RECOMMENDATION, WHICH IS THAT STEPH IS NOT ABLE TO SUPPORT BECAUSE IT DOES NOT ALIGN WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
HOWEVER, WE JUST NOT WANNA POINT OUT THAT, UM, THERE ARE SOME EXISTING LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES OUTSIDE OF THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT BOUNDARIES TO THE NORTH.
UM, AND THIS COULD BE A COMPLIMENTARY, BUT AGAIN, THIS IS UP TO PNZ AND, UM, TO SEE WHAT KIND OF MAKE RECOMMENDATION THAT YOU WANNA MAKE TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
GLAD COMMISSIONER MATT MENTION THAT BECAUSE I FORGOT THAT THAT IS A HUGE LONG STRIP ON THERE.
BUT MY QUESTION IS, SO THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT PREDATES THE PLUM OR HOW DOES THAT EVICT RIGHT? IT IT, IT PROBABLY DOES, BUT YOU KNOW, THE FUTURE LAND USE MAYBE IS IN PLACE NOW AND IT, SO IT'S POWERFUL.
BECAUSE I THINK 5, 10, 20 YEARS THE PLAN BECAUSE IF WE CONTINUE TO GROW MM-HMM
AND I JUST WONDER IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT CONSIDERED PRECIOUS LAND THAT WE, WE GIVE UP.
I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT, SEE Y'ALL, SO THE ACTUAL DATE, THAT WAS LONG TIME AGO.
[00:15:01]
THIS OF UM, TO PUT THIS IN NOW WHAT WE'VE MORE SUITABLE OFFICE USERS, NOT JUST WAREHOUSE AND TRY TO REACH OUT TO THOSE USERS COMFORTABLE.ONE REASON I ASK, I'M JUST CURIOUS BECAUSE IN MOST OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS WE HAVE THE, UH, OVERNIGHT, UH, WHATEVER THE MEDICAL CLINICS AND WHATEVER, THEY'RE KIND OF ALL OVER.
SO I GUESS I'M THINKING THAT THERE'S ENOUGH THAT ARE SATURATED ALL OVER THE CITY NOW, IS IT OR NOT? YEAH, WE HAVE THEM ALL OVER THE CITY, BUT TO, TO HOSPITAL DISTRICT.
REDID SOME OF THE STREETS AROUND THE HOSPITAL.
I MEAN, I WOULD LOVE, WE'RE WE REALLY DO NEED SOMETHING.
CAN'T GET THE BIG BOYS TO COME OVER THOUGH, RIGHT? NOT WITHOUT MAJOR RENOVATION.
ANY MORE COMMENTS OR CONCERNS? QUESTIONS? GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.
THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS SUP 24 0 1 0 0 0 3.
IT'S A SPECIFIC USE AMENDMENT.
UH, AT LOCATED AT 19 0 8 1 10TH STREET, UH, CURRENTLY ZONE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.
THERE IS AN EXISTING APPROVED SUP THAT ALLOWS AUTO REPAIR MAJOR AND AUTO BODY AND PAINT SHOP AT THIS LOCATION.
CURRENTLY WHAT THEY'RE WANTING TO AMEND THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IS TO ADD, UH, AUTO SALES USED NON-FRANCHISE AS AN ADDITIONAL USE.
THERE HAS BEEN, UH, NO CODE CASE THAT'S BEEN OPEN AT THIS LOCATION.
SO THEY'RE DOING WITH THE EXISTING SUP, THERE HAVE BEEN NO VIOLATIONS.
UH, THE PROPERTIES, UH, HAS 5.5 ACRES.
UH, THE HOURS OF OPERATION WILL REMAIN THE SAME, UH, FROM EIGHT TO 6:00 PM ON MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND SATURDAYS EIGHT TO SIX, UH, EIGHT TO 1:00 PM UH, THEY HAVE PROVIDED A PARKING PLAN AND IT IS MEETING ALL OF OUR REQUIREMENTS.
THEY'RE EXCEEDING IT ACTUALLY, UH, THEY'RE PROVIDING 434 PARKING SPACES AND ARE REQUIRED ONLY 215.
ALL OF THE AUTO REPAIR AND BODY WORK IS DONE INDOORS.
SO NOTHING, UH, IS ALLOWED OUTDOORS ONLY TO THE BOTTOM, UH, SOUTHERN, I DON'T THINK YOU CAN SEE IT.
SO THIS IS WHERE THE USED AUTO INVENTORY WILL BE STORED AND THERE ARE ABOUT 28 PARKING SPACES THAT THEY WILL BE USING OR PROPOSING TO USE.
THIS IS A STREET VIEW FROM, UH, ADONIS AUTO AND ANOTHER ONE.
SO THIS EASTERN CORNER IS WHERE THE AUTO ABUSED INVENTORY WILL BE STORED.
UH, DID NOT RECEIVE ANY OBJECTIONS FROM THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS.
UH, AND APPLICANT'S NOT REQUESTING ANY VARIANCES.
THEY'RE NOT CHANGING ANYTHING, UH, TO THE EXISTING BUILDING.
IT'S GOING TO REMAIN THE SAME.
AND THE DRC IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL.
THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
MR. ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT ONE? COMMISSIONER? ALRIGHT.
THEY'RE NOT GONNA ADD ANY FENCE OR ANYTHING OUT IN FRONT OF THAT? UH, NO, NOT, NOT AT THIS TIME, NO.
USUALLY PEOPLE HAVE CARS LOTS TO PUT A GATE, THE ROAD.
SO THERE IS A GATE BACK HERE IF YOU CAN SEE IT, BUT THAT'S IN THE BACK AND THERE'S ALREADY AN EXISTING FENCE, BUT NOT FOR THE ONES THAT ARE, THAT THE AMENDMENT? NO, NOT AT THIS TIME.
THEY'RE NOT REQUESTING, I THINK THAT THEY WOULD ADD GATE BECAUSE UNLESS THEY PARK CARS ACROSS THE
AND THEY THINK THEY HAVE AN AUDIENCE FOR THIS BACK TESTING.
YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT.
AND THEY MAY BE PROPOSING TO MOVE THE CARS IN, UH, IN THE GATED AREA OR, UH, BEHIND THE FENCE, UH, AT, UH, AFTER BUSINESS OPERATION HOURS.
[00:20:01]
SO, UH, AND THE APPLICANT'S GOING TO BE PRESENT TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS.ANY OTHER QUESTION? WHAT CLIENTELE, WHAT KIND OF CARS ARE THEY PROPOSING TO BE PUTTING OUT FOR SALE? I, IS THIS A MIXTURE? IT COULD BE.
I DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION, BUT IT WILL BE USED CARS IN NON FRANCHISE.
SO IT'S PRIVATELY OWNED FRANCHISE BECAUSE THIS IS THE, THIS IS THE ONLY, ONLY ONE, RIGHT? CORRECT.
THEY HAD TWO AND THAT'S, THEY'VE MENTIONED THAT IN THE NARRATIVE ONE WAS IN ARLINGTON, A LOCATION AND ONE IN DALLAS.
AND I BELIEVE THEY'RE CLOSING THOSE TWO LOCATIONS AND COMBINING THEM INTO ONE.
SO IS IT FAIR TO SAY THEY JUST WON 28 SPACES FOR SALES? THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE REQUESTING? YES.
WANTING ANYONE TO HAVE A FENCE OF A SAFETY THINK YOU WANNA PROBABLY WOULD BE REQUIRING THAT.
UM, I'LL SAY THERE'S SOME DEALERSHIP LOCATION DEALERSHIP, I'LL AVOID THE CAR.
CAR, YOU KNOW, BUT I'LL SAY I THINK OPERATIONAL, THEY PROBABLY JUST WANNA HAVE SOME VEHICLES OUT THERE.
DEFINITELY WON'T HAVE ANY COMPETITION THERE OVER BY THEMSELVES.
ALSO AS A PUBLIC BODY SHOP, THEY HAVE A RIGHT, IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T PAY FOR THEIR WORK, THEY CAN LIQUIDATE A CAR THAT THEY WORKED ON THAT SOMEBODY DOESN'T PAY.
DIDN'T WE HAVE AN APPLICANT THAT DID THAT JUST IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS? THEY HAD A CHANCE TO, THEY THEY HAD A NEED BECAUSE PEOPLE WEREN'T PAYING AND THEY CAN SELL THEIR CARS TO GET THEIR, THEIR MONEY OUT.
SOME KIND OF PARKS OR SOMETHING.
YOU HAVE QUESTIONS? WE'RE GOOD ON THAT.
THIS NEXT ITEM IS A TEXT AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE FOUR PERMISSIBLE USES.
IT'S FOR TV STATION AND IT'S PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.
UM, WHAT WE'RE DOING IS PROPOSING TO AMEND THE LAND USE DESIGNATION TV STATION TO TV STATION SLASH MEDIA STUDIO.
THIS IS MORE IN LINE WITH HOW, UH, THESE TYPES OF BUSINESSES ARE CURRENTLY OPERATING.
UM, AND THEN ALLOW IT IN THE CENTRAL AREA ZONING DISTRICT.
SO IN THE LAND USE CHART YOU CAN SEE THE AMENDMENTS TO THE NAME AND THEN WE'RE ADDING IT TO THE CA AS A BACKGROUND, AGAIN, THIS BETTER ALIGNS THE LAND USE DESIGNATION WITH OPERATIONS OF A MEDIA COMPANY THAT'S RELOCATING TO DOWNTOWN GRAND PRAIRIE.
UM, SO MEDIA JUICE, JUICE STUDIOS HAS PURCHASED, UH, SIX 10 EAST MAIN STREET AND THEY'RE PLANNING TO MOVE FROM DALLAS TO GRAND PRAIRIE.
AND SO THEY'RE A FILM AND TELEVISION PRODUCTION STUDIO THAT'S CURRENTLY BASED IN DALLAS.
UH, THEY DO TRAILERS, TV SPOTS, PROMOTIONAL VIDEOS, DOCUMENTARIES, BEHIND THE SCENES, CONTENT, ALL OF THESE TYPES OF THINGS THAT ARE KIND OF BEYOND JUST THE TV.
UM, AND SO AS A BACKGROUND, THEY'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE CITY TO RELOCATE OVER HERE.
UH, THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCE DISTRICT NUMBER ONE DID JUST TO PROVE, UM, THEIR REQUEST FOR SOME INCENTIVES.
AND SO THIS IS JUST ANOTHER, UH, THING THAT THE CITY IS DOING TO, TO BRING THEM TO DOWNTOWN GRAND PRAIRIE.
SO WITH THAT, THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER MIGHT
UH, SO WHAT DO THEY, I MEAN, WILL THEY IMPACT OUTSIDE OF THEIR SO I, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY, WHY THEY'RE LEAVING A CHANGE.
THEY'RE DOING EVERYTHING INDOORS.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? SO IT, IT'S ALL GONNA BE INDOORS.
IT'S JUST EXPANDING THAT LAND USE DESIGNATION TO BETTER ALIGN WITH HOW IT'S OPERATING TODAY.
I MEAN, DECADES AGO IT WAS ON SOCIAL MEDIA, ALL THESE TRAILERS, ALL OF THIS OTHER TYPES OF, OF MEDIA.
AND SO REALLY IT'S JUST CHANGING IT TO BETTER ALIGN WITH THEIR OPERATIONS.
BECAUSE I MEAN, I'M THINKING LIKE IF I'M PLAYING PLAYING POKER VERSUS PLAYING SOLITAIRE, IT'S ALL CARDS AND I'M PLAYING.
SO I, THAT'S WHY I'M WONDERING ARE THERE GONNA BE TRAILERS? IS THERE A LOT MORE ATTRACTION? NO.
AND WHY, WHY DO WE HAVE TO CHANGE IT? LIKE I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE MAKING SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS VERSUS A TV SHOW.
WELL, BECAUSE THE CURRENT LAND USE IS TV STUDIO, WHICH IS VERY NARROW.
SO THIS IS JUST TO EXPAND IT FOR THIS USER AND ANY OTHER USER THAT COMES IN IN THE FUTURE.
SO THE BUILDING DOWN AT SIX 10 EAST MAIN, UM, IT'S IF YOU DRIVE BY, IT'S THAT MULTIPLE STORY BUILDING.
UM, SO ALL THEIR OPERATIONS ARE GONNA BE INSIDE.
IT'S NOT GONNA BE A BUNCH OF TRAILERS, BUT THIS JUST REALLY'S TO TAILOR IT TO KIND OF WHAT WE'RE SEEING NOW
[00:25:01]
WITH THAT INDUSTRY.YEAH, I GUESS KNOWING THE NAME OF A COMPANY GONNA BE IN THERE MAKES ME WONDER, YOU KNOW WHAT VERSUS JUST CHANGING IT.
WE HAVE A, IN, IN THE EPIC, IS THERE A STUDIO OR A TV STUDIO? WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? THEY, WHAT WAS IT CALLED? UH, CREATIVE RECORDING.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD CALL AN ANCILLARY USE.
SO IT'S JUST A, A SMALLER USE THAT'S TACKED ONTO THE LARGER COMMUNITY CENTER, UM, TYPE THING.
THOSE ARE YOUNG AND INHOUSE, RIGHT? VERSUS A PART OF A LARGER OPERATION VERSUS BEING A STANDALONE USE.
IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE DALLAS, COME HERE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONER? YES.
WHAT? SO WHAT OTHER PLANNING WILL WE IN OR, SO THEY HAVE PURCHASED THE BUILDING AND THEY HAVE, UM, GOTTEN APPROVAL FROM THE TIF DISTRICT FOR SOME INCENTIVES, I BELIEVE THAT HAS TO GO TO COUNCIL TO GET APPROVED.
UM, BUT IT'S AN OLDER BUILDING, SO THEY'RE LOOKING AT A REHABILITATION.
THEY'VE GOTTA DEAL WITH SOME ASBESTOS AND REPLACE SOME WINDOWS.
UM, BUT THEY'RE COMMITTED TO MOVING TO GRAND PRAIRIE AND, AND DOING ALL OF THAT REHAB ON THE BUILDING.
I DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY'RE, IF EVERYTHING GOES RIGHT, THIS IS WHEN WE EXPECT TO OPEN OUR DOORS.
I DON'T HAVE THAT DATE, BUT THEY ARE HAVE BEEN MOVING TOWARDS, TOWARDS REHABBING THE BUILDING AND, AND GETTING OVER TO GRAND PRAIRIE.
IS THIS A STATEWIDE, A NATIONAL, I MEAN, DO THEY DO, HOW BROAD DO THEY GO OUT AS FAR AS YOU KNOW? SO I, I THINK THEY'RE HEADQUARTERS IS IN DALLAS.
UM, IF YOU LOOK AT THEIR WEBSITE AND SOME OF THE, I MEAN THEY'VE LISTED NETFLIX AND SOME VIDEO GAMES THAT THEY DO TRAILERS FOR AND SOME, SOME BIG, BIG NAMES.
IS THERE ANY SATELLITES, TOWERS BROADCASTING, NO TOWER QUESTIONS.
YOU THINK THEY WOULD NEED ALL OF THAT? ALL THAT NON OF POP OPERATION, STREAM WIFI, MYSELF,
I, ALRIGHT, I GUESS THAT'S, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? GLAD ALL THAT'S THE LAST ITEM.
AND JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE REMEMBERS THAT FOOD'S OVER IN THAT LITTLE ROOM.
IT IS 5 59 AND WE HAVE, AND WE'LL RECONVENE AT SIX 30.
