THE SUP SITE PLAN IS FOR A CONTRACTOR SHOP WITH OUTSIDE STORAGE, GENERALLY LOCATED AT 1106 SHADY GROVE.
THE PROPERTY IS ZONED LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND IS WITHIN THE 1 61 CORRIDOR OVERLAY AND CONSISTS OF JUST A LITTLE BIT OVER TWO ACRES.
UM, HERE IS AN AERIAL WITH THE SUBJECT PROPERTY OUTLINED IN ORANGE.
YOU CAN SEE THE SURROUNDING ZONING AS WELL AS, AS WELL AS THE LAND USES TO THE NORTH.
WE HAVE SINGLE FAMILY, ONE DISTRICT, THERE ARE HOMES AND UNDERDEVELOPED PROPERTY.
TO THE SOUTH IS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.
THAT IS THE SHADY GROVE CEMETERY.
UM, TO THE WEST WE HAVE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND GENERAL RETAIL.
IT'S DEVELOPED WITH CONTRACTOR SHOP ALSO TO THE WEST AND SOUTH.
WE HAVE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AGAIN WITH A CONTRACTOR SHOP.
AND THEN TO THE EAST WE HAVE 1 61.
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY IS, UM, PD 4 44, AND WE ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR AN INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE.
JUST A LITTLE HISTORICAL CONTEXT.
ON SEPTEMBER 16TH, 2025, THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED, APPROVED AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE FUTURE LAND USE CLASSIFICATION TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND ALSO APPROVED AN ORDINANCE CHANGING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION FROM SINGLE FAMILY ONE TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT.
REGARDING THE OPERATIONAL PLAN, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO OPERATE A MECHANICAL CONTRACTOR SHOP WITH OUTSIDE STORAGE.
MOST OF THE SUPPLIES THAT ARE USED FOR THE BUSINESS WILL BE STORED INSIDE THE SHOP AND WAREHOUSE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF VEHICLES SUCH AS BOX AND BUCKET TRUCKS, TRAILERS, TRAILER MOUNTED EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER LIGHT EQUIPMENT, UM, NEEDED FOR THE BUSINESS.
THE SITE PLAN MEETS OUR DENSITY AND DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS AS WELL AS THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
THE SITE BOUNDARIES ARE OUTLINED IN RED.
YOU CAN SEE THE TWO PROPOSED STRUCTURES THERE IN ORANGE.
THE SHOP AND WAREHOUSE IS 9,892 SQUARE FEET AND THE PROPOSED OFFICE IS 3,834 SQUARE FEET.
THE LANDSCAPE PLAN ALSO MEETS OR EXCEEDS THE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO PROVIDE A SIX FOOT MASONRY WALL SHOWN IN RED, AS WELL AS A SIX FOOT WROUGHT IRON FENCE CONNECTING THE BUILDINGS ON THE HIGHWAY 1 61 FRONTAGE.
THESE ARE THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS FOR THE OFFICE.
THE ELEVATIONS DO MEET OUR APPENDIX X REQUIREMENTS.
THE EX EXTERIOR MATERIALS ARE BRICK AND STONE WITH PAINTED METAL ACCENT.
THE GLAZING AND ARTICULATION MEETS OR EXCEEDS THE APPENDIX X AND THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING METAL CANOPIES IN ACCENT LIGHTING.
THESE ARE THE ELEVATIONS FOR THE SHOP AND WAREHOUSE.
AGAIN, THE ELEVATIONS MEET OR EXCEED THE APPENDIX X REQUIREMENTS.
THE APPLICANT IS NOT REQUESTING ANY VARIANCES.
WE SENT SEVEN NOTICES TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.
[00:05:01]
WE RECEIVED ZERO IN FAVOR, ZERO OPPOSED.AND THE DRC RECOMMENDS APPROVAL WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS.
ONE EQUIPMENT TO BE STORED OUTSIDE SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT LISTED IN THE OPERATIONAL PLAN, AND TWO VEHICLES OPERATING AT THE SITE MUST BE LIMITED TO LESS THAN 40 FEET IN LENGTH.
MADAM CHAIR, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? UH, COMMISSIONER Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I I HAVE ONE.
I, I SAW THAT THERE'S A CEMETERY LOCATED NEARBY THERE.
ARE THERE ANY, UH, GUIDELINES OR HOW THE CEMETERY THAT CLOSE, IS THAT THE CEMETERY THAT YOU KNOW, PEOPLE KIND AND GO MM-HMM
UM, I GUESS THAT WASN'T THE THING THAT KIND OF THREW ME OFF GUARD THE CEMETERY 'CAUSE I JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS INTERESTING.
ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? OH, IS SPECIFICALLY WHAT, WHAT EXACTLY DO THEY MAKE A MECHANICAL BILL? WHAT DO THEY MAKE? SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT MAKING ANYTHING THERE.
SO HVAC, AIR CONDITIONING HEATING, THEY'RE A FACILITATOR WITH THE PRODUCT? YES, YES, YES MA'AM.
SO WHAT'S THE 40 FOOT VEHICLE LENGTH CUTOFF? IS THAT JUST TO PRECLUDE MAKING RUMORS? YES, IT IS.
SO, UM, I WOULD LIKE FOR BRETT TO SPEAK TO THAT CONDITION.
SO WHEN WE WERE DOING THE SITE PLAN, WE WERE LOOKING AT THE DIMENSIONS OF THE DRIVEWAYS.
IT DIDN'T MEET OUR INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS, SO WE WANTED TO REDUCE IT TO COMMERCIAL STANDARDS.
AND IN THAT WE WANTED TO LIMIT 18 WHEELERS.
THE TYPICALLY SMALLEST 18 WHEELER VARI.
SO THAT'S WHY WE, WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THAT WAS THE CUTOFF.
AND SO UNDER THAT WOULD BE BOX TRUCKS, WORK TRUCKS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, ANY BIGGER THAN THAT, THE DRIVEWAYS REALLY DON'T SUPPORT THOSE TYPES OF VEHICLES.
SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAD THAT IN THE SUP.
BUT THAT BEING SAID, THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF HEAVY EQUIPMENT.
SO I GUESS THAT THE, UH, STREET'S GONNA SUPPORT THAT BRETT.
I MEAN, IT'S A INDUSTRIAL AREA, UM, ALREADY OUT THERE.
SO WE DO SEE SOME TRUCK TRAFFIC.
WE ALL ARE, WE ALL, UM, ALSO WE ARE LOOKING AT THE WIDENING EXPANSION OF SHADY GROVE AND SOME IMPROVEMENTS THERE AS WELL.
SO THIS WILL KIND OF FEED INTO THAT.
IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS GONNA BE THERE AND THE ROADS ITSELF AND THE, SO THEY, THEY NEED TO BE IMPROVED TO BEAT THOSE THINGS.
THIS SIDE, NOT NECESSARILY THE HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS.
IT'LL BE THE LIGHT COMMERCIAL VEHICLES AND POTENTIALLY BOX TRUCKS.
UM, SO IT WOULDN'T BE LIKE YOUR TYPICAL WAREHOUSING FACILITY THAT HAS A LOT OF 18 WHEELER MM-HMM
UM, SO WE DON'T ANTICIPATE A LOT OF, UH, ROAD MAINTENANCE BEING ACQUIRED AS PART OF THIS SITE, BUT I DO WANNA INDICATE THAT THE AREA AROUND IT IS ALREADY PRETTY INDUSTRIAL.
SO WE DO SEE SOME DRUNK TRAFFIC IN THE AREA ALREADY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS, CHAIR? I DON'T THERE WAY, WE JUST BRING THE MAP BACK UP, AS THEY MENTIONED ABOUT THE SHADY GROVE CEMETERY.
I WANT TO SEE HOW CLOSE THAT CEMETERY WAS TO THE AREA.
WE CAN LIKE ZOOM IN A LITTLE BIT MORE TO WHERE I CAN
SO, SO IT IS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET, RIGHT ACROSS, UM, SHADY TRAIL.
ALSO, I WILL NOTE THAT DIRECTLY ACROSS HARD ROCK, WE DO HAVE AN EXISTING CONTRACTOR SHOP AS WELL AS CATTYCORNER FROM THE CEMETERY.
SO IT IS SURROUNDED ALREADY ON THREE SIDES.
SO THE CEMETERY THAT IS, IS CLOSED IN.
IS, IS IT CLOSED IN? IT HAS A FENCE.
WANTED TO KNOW PROXIMITY AND HOW THAT, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I DON'T EVEN KNOW.
IT'S JUST THE FIRST OF THIS KIND BEING THAT CLOSE TO INDUSTRIAL CEMETERIES ARE VERIFIED EVERYWHERE.
SO THE ZONING IS THE ZONING IN THIS INSTANCE.
UM, MUCH OF THIS DEVELOPED AROUND THIS.
UM, OF COURSE CEMETERIES CAN STAY AND BE DEVELOPED AND MAINTAINED ANYWHERE ONCE THEY'RE FOUND.
SO, UM, THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE.
UM, THEY ALREADY HAVE THE FENCING AND SCREENING AND INTERNAL DRIVE FOR THE CEMETERY.
UH, THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY ISSUES WITH THAT EXISTING INDUSTRIAL.
I DON'T THINK THERE'LL BE ANY ISSUES WITH THIS PROPOSED CONDITION.
I'M MR. MOST MAKE EVERYBODY'S AWARE AND RESPECTED.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONERS? THANK YOU.
[00:10:01]
FOUR IS SUP 2 5 0 9 0 0 3 9.IT IS AN SUP AMENDMENT AND A REVIEW FOR PALACE POKER.
UM, SO THIS IS LIKE I MENTIONED, A SUP AMENDMENT AND A REVIEW.
THE LOCATION IS 4 0 1 EAST PALACE PARKWAY.
UM, YOU CAN SEE IT THERE IN THE YELLOW.
UH, SO THE REQUEST IS TO KIND OF TWOFOLD.
ONE IS AMEND SUP NUMBER 1 1 7 0 TO CHANGE THE OPERATIONAL HOURS TO 24 HOURS AND THE MEMBERSHIP LINKED TO ONE WEEK.
AT THE SAME TIME, STAFF HAS INITIATED A REVIEW OF THIS SUP NUMBER 1 1 7 0 AUTHORIZING A PRIVATE CARD ROOM FOR COMPLIANCE WITH SUP CONDITIONS.
UM, AND WE'RE ASKING YOU TO SUGGEST MODIFICATION, RENEWAL, OR REVOCATION IF DEEMED APPROPRIATE, BASED UPON THE REVIEW.
SO THERE'S THE AERIAL VIEW, UM, YOU CAN SEE, UH, WHERE PALACE POKER IS.
IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO THAT RIPLEY'S, UM, KIND OF WEST OF BELTLINE ACROSS FROM I 30.
A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION.
ON MAY 7TH, 2024, CITY COUNCIL APPROVED A PD AMENDMENT TO CREATE A DEFINITION FOR PRIVATE CARD ROOM, UM, AND AMEND THE USES PERMITTED WITHIN PD TWO 17 TO ALLOW A PRIVATE CARD ROOM WITH CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF A SUP.
AND THEN ON MAY 21ST, 2024 CITY COUNCIL APPROVED A SUP FOR A PRIVATE CARD ROOM REQUIRING A ONE YEAR REVIEW.
SO JULY 18TH OF THIS YEAR, A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY WAS ISSUED FOR A PRIVATE CARD ROOM AT 4 0 1 EAST PALACE PARKWAY.
UM, THESE ARE THE FLOOR PLANS THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL SUP ORDINANCE.
SO THE OPERATIONS AND COMPLIANCE REVIEW, PALACE POKER OPERATES AT 4 0 1 EAST PALACE PARKWAY AND THEN THE PRIVATE CARD ROOM IS DEFINED AS A PRIVATE PLACE WHERE MEMBERS GATHER TO PLAY CARD GAMES INCLUDING POKER, BILLIARDS, CHESS, OR OTHER SIMILAR GAMES.
THE CURRENT OPERATIONAL HOURS ARE MONDAY THROUGH SUN, MONDAY THROUGH SUNDAY, 10:00 AM TO 2:00 AM UM, AND THE CURRENT MEMBERSHIP MINIMUM LENGTH IS THREE MONTHS.
THE OWNER DID CONFIRM THAT IDS ARE CHECKED FOR 21 AND OVER BEFORE ENTERING AND MEMBERSHIP CARDS ARE ISSUED AT THAT TIME AS WELL.
UM, THEY DO HAVE A-T-A-V-C LICENSE FOR ALCOHOL AND THEY SERVE AN ALL DAY MENU, UM, FOR FOOD AND ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.
PUBLIC HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY WAS ALSO, UM, PART OF THIS REVIEW.
THEY DID NOT FIND ANY VIOLATIONS TO REPORT.
UH, TO THIS NOTE, THE APPLICANT DID CONFIRM THAT IF THEY ARE APPROVED FOR 24 HOURS, THAT THEY WILL NOT SERVE ALCOHOL BEYOND THE 2:00 AM TABC LIMIT.
UH, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ALSO WAS PART OF THIS REVIEW.
THEY ALSO REPORTED NO INCIDENTS OR ISSUES OF SIGNIFICANCE.
HOWEVER, THEY DID NOTE THAT IF THE HOURS ARE EXTENDED, THE APPLICANT SHOULD MAINTAIN ONSITE SECURITY AND ENFORCE MINIMUM AGE OF 21 FOR BOTH EMPLOYEES AND MEMBERS AND A SUBSEQUENT ONE YEAR REVIEW BE REQUIRED.
UM, SO THE STAFF DID CONFIRM WITH THE APPLICANT THAT THEY ADHERE TO KEY SECURITY AND SAFETY ME MEASURES.
UM, THERE ARE SIGNS POSTED AT ALL PUBLIC ENTRANCES AND EXITS, AND ALSO NEAR THE C CAGE INDICATING SECURITY ALARMS ARE IN USE.
THEY HAVE HIGH RESOLUTION SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS, UM, IN THE PARKING AREA AND ON THE INTERIOR AS WELL.
AND THEY ALSO DO NOT HAVE ANY SMOKING INSIDE OF THE, UH, POKER ROOM.
STAFF FINDS THAT THE OPERATIONS ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL EXISTING SUP CONDITIONS, UM, AND THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS APPROVAL WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS, UM, AMEND THE OPERATIONAL HOURS TO 24 HOURS AND THE MINIMUM MEMBERSHIP DURATION TO ONE WEEK.
ALL OTHER EXISTING CONDITIONS FROM THE SUP WHICH WAS APPROVED MAY 21ST, 2024 SHALL REMAIN IN EFFECT.
UM, AND LASTLY, THAT CITY COUNCIL SHALL CONDUCT A, A, A PUBLIC HEARING IN ONE YEAR AFTER CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THIS SUP AMENDMENT TO CONFIRM COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE CODES AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.
ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER JACQUELINE? I'D JUST LIKE TO ADD, 'CAUSE UH, WHEN I SAW THIS COME UP, I WANTED TO GO TAKE A LOOK AT IT, SO I WENT OUT TO CHECK IT OUT.
UM, WE TALK ABOUT THE PALACE POKER PART, BUT THEY ALSO HAVE A RESTAURANT BUILT INTO IT.
THAT BY FAR IS REALLY HIGH QUALITY.
IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN OUT THERE, I WOULD RECOMMEND SOMETIMES JUST GOING OUT THERE AND CHECKING IT OUT.
I DON'T PLAY POKER OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
UH, I WOULD LOSE ALL MY MONEY, BUT, UM, IT'S REALLY A, A GREAT RESTAURANT AND I THINK IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT ADDITION TO WHAT WE HAVE GOING ON IN.
UH, FURTHERMORE, I DID LEARN THAT THE LAS COLINAS AND OTHER AREAS, THEY ARE RUNNING GAMES LIKE LITERALLY LIKE FOR
[00:15:01]
DAYS, RIGHT? SO PEOPLE ARE LEAVING, THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT STARTING GAMES HERE IN GRAND GRAY BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY CUT OFF AT TWO.SO THEY'RE HAVING TO GO TO OTHER PLACES AND I'D MUCH RATHER THEM SPEND THEIR MONEY HERE IN GREG.
I THINK IN FAIRNESS, IT'S A GREAT KITCHEN.
THEY MADE NO COMMITMENT TO WHETHER OR NOT THE RESTAURANTS GO NO, I EITHER NOT THE BOTTOM ON THE BOTTOM FLOOR.
YEAH, THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S PART OF THE KITCHEN AND THE BAR.
THE RESTAURANT IS DOWNSTAIRS AND THEY HAVE NOT DECIDED WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE GONNA OR NOT.
I'D BE IN THERE THREE OR FOUR TIMES DOWNSTAIRS, UPSTAIRS.
THAT'S NOT THE, SO THE, THAT'S NOT THE RESTAURANT.
AND MAYBE THAT'S A QUESTION YOU GUYS CAN CONFIRM WITH.
YEAH, I HAD A COUPLE QUESTIONS.
UM, WE JUST IN THE PICTURES LAST TIME, THEY, THEY CAME FORWARD AND IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE.
UM, WHEN YOU SAY, UH, I DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE MEMBERSHIP CHANGING FROM THREE MONTHS TO ONE MONTH, WHAT WOULD BE THE CRITERIA AND HOW DOES THAT, I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT, GOING FROM THREE MONTHS TO ONE MONTH, YOU KNOW, ONE WEEK, ONE WEEK, ONE WEEK.
UM, I THINK THE CRITERIA WOULD BE A GOOD QUESTION TO ASK.
AND THEN, UH, CHANGING TO 24 HOURS.
A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT, UH, TRAFFIC.
YOU KNOW, I WOULD BE WONDERING IF THERE WOULD BE ANY, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE YOU HAVE A LOT OF, LUCKILY IT'S NOT CLOSE TO ANYBODY'S HOME PER SE, BUT THAT'S STILL TRAFFIC, YOU KNOW? AND, UH, I DON'T KNOW.
DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY CONCERNS? I MEAN, I, I, I'VE WRITTEN PLACE, I'M A MEMBER WHO'S ONLY A DOLLAR JOIN, BUT IT'S, UH, THESE GUYS THRIVE ON PEOPLE THAT CAN'T SLEEP AND WANT GAMBLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
AND TO HAVE A TWO O'CLOCK SHUT OFF IS A COMPETITIVE DISADVANTAGE VIS-A-VIS OTHER CAR ROOMS IN THE CITY.
I THINK TO DATE AND RESERVES THAT THERE'S BEEN NO INCIDENTS CORRECT FROM THE POLICE.
THE POLICE DID HEDGE THEIR BET SAYING THAT MAY IN FACT THAT THERE'S A CUTOFF AT TWO O'CLOCK.
BUT IF THAT PLACE IS GONNA BE, AT LEAST OF TIMES I'VE BEEN THERE, THEY'VE ALWAYS HAD SECURITY, WHICH WELL MAINTAINING THE, THE 2:00 AM THING IS, IS THE ONLY, THE 2:00 AM CUTOFF IS, UH, IT'S LIKE MAKING THEM WORK WITH I UNDERSTAND THEIR BACK.
UNDERSTAND, I GUESS MY CONCERN, I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND AND, YOU KNOW,
AND I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
IT'S JUST THAT I JUST WAS CONCERNED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF OTHER PLACES, EVENTUALLY YOUR COMES A ADDICTION HERE COMES, YOU KNOW, THE OTHER THINGS, THE OTHER ELEMENTS THAT GO ALONG WITH THAT.
BECAUSE WHEN YOU START BRINGING A LOT MORE BUSINESS THERE LATE AT NIGHT, THAT IS A POSSIBILITY TOO.
BUT I UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, AND I, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM ALL WITH IT, BUT I DID HAVE CONCERNS.
I, ANOTHER QUESTION IS, I DON'T KNOW, THIS IS JUST MY INFORMATION.
SO LIQUOR ALCOHOL STOPS AT 2:00 AM CORRECT? ACCORDING TO TABC.
WHEN DOES, WHEN CAN PEOPLE BUY A MIMOSA OR A BLOODY MARY IN THE MORNING? WE'LL HAVE TO LOOK AT THE TFC REGULATIONS ON THAT STOP AT 2:00 AM AND THEN IT'S MORNING ALREADY 10:00 AM AND MADAM CURIOUS SAY, UM, BECAUSE I WENT TO LIKE GOING TO THAT AREA, IT'S ON I 30.
AND I CAN TELL YOU LIKE THEY HAVE THEIR WHOLE ENTIRE PARKING LOT FENCE OFF AND WHEN YOU COME IN, THERE'S LIKE A MOUNTED CAMERA SYSTEM THERE.
AND THEIR CAMERA ARE JUST AMAZING, THE QUALITY.
SO IT'S REALLY LIKE, I WOULD SAY JUST UP THE STREET IS, UH, LONE STAR PARK.
AND WHERE WE HAVE, UM, LOTS MORE TRAFFIC GOING TO LONE STAR PARK AND TEXAS TRUST CREDIT UNION IN THAT AREA THAT THE TRAFFIC, SINCE I'VE BEEN THERE, I'VE BEEN THERE TWO OR THREE TIMES TO GO THERE AND I'VE SEEN MAYBE 40 OR 50 CARS NOW IS THE, UH, RENTAL PLACE, CAR PLACE STILL IN THAT AREA? IT'S GONE.
THEY, THEY DID A GOOD JOB ON THE BASIS.
THEY'RE CLEARLY COMMITTED TO THE BUSINESS AND, AND THEY'RE NOT RUNNING IT IN A ROOF WRAPPED MANNER.
THAT WOULD'VE BEEN A, A BIG RED FLAG RENTAL CAR.
'CAUSE THAT WOULD BE OF A BUSINESS BEING THERE SIDE BY SIDE.
YOU KNOW, FAMILIES, IT TRULY, TO ME IT RESEMBLES A HOUSE.
IT REALLY, THEY WENT FOR SOME REASON ABOVE AND BEYOND.
AND I THINK THAT EVEN THOUGH I DON'T DO IT, LIKE I DON'T PARTAKE, I JUST THINK IT'S A SUPER, SO DEPEND, UH, JUST TO ANSWER YOUR ALCOHOL QUESTION, DEPENDS ON WHAT TYPE OF LICENSE TO SELL THEY HAVE ON WHEN THEY CAN SERVE ALCOHOL.
[00:20:01]
IS THERE ANY LICENSE IN TEXAS THAT'S 24 7? NO, I DON'T.SO YOU'VE HEARD WORKED THIS FOR A LONG TIME, SO THAT'S KIND OF SUBJECTIVE THEN.
IT DOESN'T, IT IS KIND OF GRAY TO THE ALCOHOL.
I MEAN, BECAUSE IT'S NOT, THAT'S KIND OF OPEN-ENDED STILL.
I WOULD THINK THAT THEY WOULD, SO WE STOPPED THE TWO AND THEN IT, AGAIN, IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHICH LICENSE THEY HAVE.
'CAUSE THERE'S DIFFERENT HOURS DEPENDING ON THE LICENSE.
UM, SOME START BACK UP AT 10, SOME START AT 5:00 AM SOME SEVEN.
SO IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE ONLY PLACE THAT I'VE EVER KNOWN.
CAN I POINT SOMETHING OUT AS WELL? UM, A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE THAT GO HERE AREN'T GOING THERE TO DRINK BECAUSE WHEN THEY DRINK AND PLAY POKER, THEY LOSE MONEY.
SO THESE ARE PEOPLE PLAYING GAMES THAT ARE BEING PUBLISHED LIVE ON YOUTUBE WELL, WITH A DELAY.
SO THEY, UH, THEY'RE LOOKING AT THIS AS A, YOU KNOW, UM, I DON'T THINK THEY, UH, ARE THINKING THAT PEOPLE ARE GONNA GO THERE TO DRINK A LOT.
I THINK THAT THEIR, THEIR BUSINESS MODEL IS, THAT'S JUST THERE AS AN ADDITION TO RIGHT.
SO I THINK THAT THEY WOULD ADHERE TO WHATEVER TABC GUIDELINES THAT WERE, UM, PUT FORWARD.
I I WOULD SAY THESE QUESTIONS ARE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR THE ACTUAL APPLICANT WHO OPERATES THE BUILDING AND OPERATES THE BUSINESS.
WHO CAN ADD, WHO CAN SPEAK TO THAT.
SO, I, I JUST WANNA ADD ONE, ONE OTHER THING THAT I, I DIDN'T LIKE, LIKE THE, UH, APPROACH FROM THE DRC TO RECOMMEND, UH, SUC REVIEW.
IS THAT MANDATORY? NOT NECESSARILY.
BECAUSE THIS IS GONNA BE THAT SECOND YEAR GOING, THEY'RE GOING FORWARD TO THE NEXT YEAR.
THEY'VE ALREADY DONE, THEY DID THE ONE YEAR.
AND, BUT JUST TO BE AWARE, THEIR COO WAS NOT ISSUED UNTIL EARLIER IN JULY OF THIS YEAR.
SO THEY'RE OPERATING YEAH, EXACTLY.
BUT STILL, I THINK IT'S STILL GOOD TO HAVE THAT IN PLACE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, I THINK THAT'S IT.
THE NEXT ITEM IS ITEM NUMBER FIVE.
THIS IS A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT SLASH SITE PLAN FOR A GAS STATION, SORRY, SUP 25 0 9 0 0 3 4.
SO THE PROPOSED LOCATION IS, UM, AT THE DOUBLE OAK IN 360.
SO IF YOU RECALL, WE APPROVED A, UH, SPORTS SURGICAL CENTER NOT TOO LONG AGO, EARLIER THIS YEAR TO BE DEVELOPED HERE.
SO THEY ARE GOING THROUGH THE, THE DILEMMA REVIEWS.
THE REASON I WANTED TO UH, SHOW YOU HERE IS BECAUSE THERE IS, UH, ANOTHER SEVEN 11, UM, AT THAT LOCATION.
I THINK THAT'S THE ONLY, UH, GAS STATIONS AROUND THIS AREA.
SO THE PROPOSED SITE IS RIGHT AT THIS CORNER.
SO THIS IS A REVIEW OF THEIR SITE PLAN.
THEY'RE PROPOSING A BUILDING WITH A GAS CANOPIES.
THE GOOD THING IS THEY WILL BE PUTTING THE BUILDING, UH, IN FRONT OF THE GAS CANOPY.
SO ALONG DOUBLE OAK YOU'LL LIKELY SEE A NICE, UH, SIDE OF THE BUILDING.
AND IT'S ACTUALLY, UH, PER, UH, RUNNING PERPENDICULAR TO THE SERVICE ROAD OF 360.
THEY'RE MEETING THE DENSITY AND DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENT AS WELL AS THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
HERE YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY'RE EITHER EXCEEDING OR EXCEEDING THE LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENT.
THEY HAVE PROVIDED ADDITIONAL TREES ALONG TO THE SOUTH TO CREATE A NICE BUFFER.
HERE ARE THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS.
SO AGAIN, UM, THE BIT DOUBLE OXIDE.
THIS IS THE BUILDING ELEVATION THAT YOU'LL BE SEEING.
YOU'LL NOT GONNA BE NECESSARILY SEEING, UM, THE GAS PUMP ALONG DOUBLE OAK.
SO THIS IS THE, ACTUALLY THE SOUTH ELEVATION, MEANING THIS IS THE ENTRANCE OF THE BUILDING.
SO THIS IS THE VIEW THAT YOU WILL SEE FROM 360.
YES, OF COURSE YOU WILL SEE THE SHORTER, UM, FACE OF THE GAS CANOPIES.
AND, UM, THIS IS THE ELEVATION FROM THE EAST.
THERE ARE MEETING THESE, UH, REQUIREMENTS OF THE APPENDIX F STANDARDS, PROVIDING 12.5 ITEMS. THEY'RE NOT REQUESTING ANY VARIANCES.
UH, WE DID SEND OUT 29 NOTICES AND WE DID, UM, RECEIVE ONE LETTER IN SUPPORT FROM A RESIDENT IN GREENVILLE WAY TRAIL.
I'D BE HAPPY TO READ THAT LETTER, BUT THERE WAS NOT REALLY A COMMENT OTHER THAN THAT.
SHE SUPPORTS A GAS STATION PROPOSAL AT THIS LOCATION.
UM, STAFF RECOMMENDS A PURPLE.
UM, THIS CONCLUDES THAT PRESENTATION.
THE APPLICANT WILL BE AT THE PUBLIC HEARING.
IS THERE ANY QUESTION THAT STAFF CAN ANSWER AT THIS TIME? ANY QUESTIONS? I'M GOOD.
UH, SO THE ITEM, UM, THE NEXT ITEM
[00:25:01]
FOR THE ZONE CHANGE, UH, WE WILL UNFORTUNATELY HAVE TO RE-NOTICE THAT ITEM.SO WE ARE NOT BE ABLE, GONNA BE ABLE TO, UH, CONSIDER THIS ITEM.
WE WILL NEED TO TABLE IT AND IT WILL COME BACK TO YOU ON THE DECEMBER 6TH AFTER WE HAVE CORRECTED OUR NOTIFICATION AT THE MAIN MEETING.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE ACTION TO TABLE IT.
WE'LL, UH, THE STAFF WILL BE ING FOR THAT.
WE'LL BE COMING IN DECEMBER 9TH.
UH, WE'LL STILL GO TO DECEMBER 16TH.
I DON'T THINK, UH, NOTHING WANTS TO DISCUSS ON THAT IF WE'RE NOT GONNA DO ANYTHING WITH THAT.
I JUST HAVE A QUESTION WITH WHAT I GOT HERE A LITTLE LATE.
SEE WE DIDN'T GET THE POWERPOINT SLIDES FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE, UH, PLAN THING FROM LAST TIME.
BASICALLY PROMISED THE SLIDES AS FAR AS I HEARD OF IT.
'CAUSE I WASN'T HERE LAST TIME.
SO, UM, WE'LL MAKE SURE YOU GET THOSE.
THAT BEING SAID, UH, IT IS 5 59 AND I GUESS WE'LL RECONVENE AT, UH, SIX 30.
