[2. STP-25-10-0043 - Site Plan - Bubba's 33 (City Council District 2). Site plan to construct a 7,105 sq. ft. sit-down restaurant at Epic East on 2.144 acres. A portion of Lot 13, Block A, Epic East Towne Crossing Phase 2 Addition, City of Grand Prairie, Dallas County, Texas, zoned PD-364 District within the SH 161 Corridor Overlay District, and addressed as 3118 S Hwy 161]

GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS.

THE ITEM NUMBER TWO IS A SITE

[00:05:01]

SO THIS LOCATION IS NORTH OF THE KOHLS AND SOUTH OF THE, UM, DUB SKI HIGH SCHOOL.

AND THIS SOLID, UM, SOUTHERN GO, THEY ARE CONSTRUCTING A, UH, SIT DOWN RESTAURANT ABOUT SEVEN TH THOUSAND SQUARE FEET OR SO TO THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE SLOT.

AGAIN, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE NEW DEVELOPMENT HERE TO THE SOUTH, INCLUDING KOHL'S AND THE HIGH SCHOOL.

HERE'S THE SITE PLAN FOR THE SIT DOWN RESTAURANT, UM, CALLED BABAS.

THEY WILL BE SELLING, YOU KNOW, BURGERS, UM, YOU KNOW, UH, STEAKS AND PIZZA AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

IT'S A SCRATCH KITCHEN.

UM, THEY ARE COMPLYING WITH THE DENSITY AND DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENT.

THEY ARE EXCEEDING THE PARKING MINIMUM.

UH, AGAIN, IN THIS CORRIDOR OVERLAY THIS STREET, WE TRY TO DISCOURAGE, UM, LARGE FIELD OF PARKING AREAS.

SO YOU'VE SEEN THESE VARIANCES COME UP WITH OTHER RESTAURANTS SUCH AS BLACK D, BLACK BEAR DINERS, AND, UH, SHAKE SHACK AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

SO THEY ARE REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO PROVIDE 160 PARKING.

HOWEVER, THEY'RE MEETING THE, UH, COMPENSATORY OR REQUIREMENT BY PROVIDING PERMEABLE PARKING SPACES.

THEY'RE COMPLYING WITH THE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENT.

AND HERE ARE THE PROPOSED BUILDING ELEVATIONS.

THIS WILL BE THE ELEVATIONS FACING 1 61.

THEY DO HAVE, UH, OUTDOOR PATIO AREA.

SO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IS JUST A COVERED AREA FOR THAT.

THEY ARE COMPLYING WITH APPENDIX F REQUIREMENTS.

UM, THEY, AND THEY ARE REQUESTING TWO VARIANCES.

ONE, AS I MENTIONED, THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES.

TYPICALLY, RESTAURANTS NEED MORE THAN THE PARKING MAXIMUM THAT WE TYPICALLY PUT ON A, UH, OVERLAY PROJECTS.

AND THEY ARE REQUESTING THE OVERALL WINDOW PERCENTAGES.

THEY ARE ACTUALLY PROVIDING SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF, UH, MASONRIES AND CANOPIES AND WINDOWS.

HOWEVER, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO COMPLY WITH THE 50 EITHER LENGTH OR AREA REQUIREMENTS.

SO THEY ARE REQUESTING THAT VARIANCE.

AGAIN, WE HAVE GRANTED SIMILAR VARIANCES FOR PAT'S RESTAURANTS AND, UM, OTHER, UH, RESTAURANTS THAT ARE IN THE EPICENTER, INCLUDING, UM, RAISING CANES AND, UH, SHAKE SHACK AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

UH, SO D RC RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

THIS CONCLUDES THAT PRESENTATION.

IS THERE ANY QUESTION FOR STAFF AT THIS TIME? COMMISSION DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

UH, COMMISSIONER FEDCO, JUNE? YES.

AND MAYBE IT'S THE APPLICANT TO, TO ANSWER, BUT THEY'RE ASKING FOR THREE TIMES THE AMOUNT OF PARKING SPACES THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE, RIGHT.

IS THERE A REASON FOR THAT? UM, TYPICALLY THAT WOULD TRULY BE THE BEST ANSWER BY THE, UH, APPLICANT.

HOWEVER, OUR PARKING MAXIMUM IS CALCULATED ONLY ON THE DINING AREA AND THE, UH, LOBBY AREA.

IF THEY HAVE LIKE A HO HOSTESS TRYING TO, PEOPLE, LIKE A LOBBY AREA FOR PEOPLE TO WAIT FOR TO BE SEATED.

SO TYPICALLY RESTAURANTS REQUEST THESE VARIANCES BASED ON WHAT THEY KNOW THAT THEIR DEMAND WOULD BE.

BUT THE ONLY, THE ONLY CONCERN I HAD, YES.

A GOOD QUESTION, COMMISSIONER, IS THAT HAVE THEY HAD THEY HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE NEIGHBORING BUSINESSES BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, IMPLEMENT, I MEAN, THEIR SPACE WOULD BE, IT WOULD NOT HAVE ENOUGH FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS AS WELL.

RIGHT.

SO RIGHT NOW, IF YOU, AS YOU CAN SEE, UM, THIS IS THE SALAD AND GO IN DUBISKI HIGH SCHOOL.

MM-HMM .

THEY'RE ONLY DEVELOPING THE SOUTHERN PORTION.

AND THE KOHLS AND OTHER RETAIL CENTERS ARE ACTUALLY ACROSS THE CREEK.

OKAY.

SO NATURALLY THEY DON'T REALLY HAVE A PLANNED OUT NEIGHBORS AT THIS POINT? YES, MA'AM.

THEY'RE WAITING TO BE DEVELOPED.

YES, MA'AM.

OKAY, GOOD.

GOOD POINT.

ITEM FIVE IS A CONFERENCE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR THE MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN.

UH, WHAT I'M REQUESTING TONIGHT, UH, IS AN AMENDMENT TO THE 2018 CONFERENCE OF PLAN, UPDATING THE MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN AND MAP.

SO THIS WOULD BE A REALIGNMENT OF NORTH GREAT SOUTHWEST PARKWAY, UH, AS WE HAVE IT CURRENTLY IN THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN.

AND THEN AN EXTENSION OF RIVERSIDE PARKWAY EAST OF STATE HIGHWAY 360.

SO WHILE WE'RE BRINGING THIS FORWARD TO YOU, UM, THIS IS JUST TO GET US IN CONCURRENCE WITH THE NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS AND THEIR PLANNING EFFORTS, AS WELL AS THE CITY OF FORT WORTH, UM, ACROSS THE TRINITY RIVER FROM US.

UM, NCT COG PUT THE ALIGNMENTS THAT I'LL SHOW JUST HERE BRIEFLY, UH, IN THEIR MOBILITY, 2045 AND 2050 TRANSPORTATION PLAN MODELING EFFORTS, UH, AND FOUND A LOT OF BENEFIT TO IT, UH, CITY OF FORT WORTH, UM, IN LOOKING AT THOSE.

AND JUST AS PART OF THE ANALYSIS AND WHAT WE'RE BASING THIS OFF OF, WHAT I HAVE ON THE SCREEN IS, UH, NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENT, UH, THE MODELING EFFORTS.

AND YOU CAN SEE THERE IN THIS KIND OF RED, UH, BOX THAT WE'RE SHIFTING TRAFFIC AWAY FROM STATE HIGHWAY 360 ONTO THIS ALIGNMENT OF, UH, NORTH GREAT SOUTHWEST PARKWAY.

UM, THAT'LL HELP ALEVE TRAFFIC.

AND SO WE SEE THIS AS A VIABLE PROJECT IN THE FUTURE, ANTICIPATING ANYWHERE FROM 16,000 TO 29,000 TRIPS ON THAT NEW SEGMENT PER DAY, WHICH WOULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION ON 360.

AND LIKE I SAID, THIS IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE CITY OF FORT WORTH MTP.

A portion of Lot 3, Block 3, H.E. Jackson Addition, City of Grand Prairie, Dallas County, Texas, zoned Commercial and addressed as 901 E. Main St ]

YES, GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.

I HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING WELL.

I, SAL I'LL BE PRESENTING ITEM NUMBER EIGHT ON YOUR AGENDA TONIGHT.

THIS IS SUP 2 5 0 9 0 0 3 6.

THIS IS A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT OR SUP UH, REQUEST FOR A DRIVE THROUGH DAIQUIRI.

AND THIS IS CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT FIVE.

SO THE SEP REQUEST IS FOR A DRIVE THROUGH DAIQUIRI.

UH, THE BUSINESS IS GONNA BE, OR TO BE LOCATED AT 9 0 1 EAST MAIN STREET AND TO BE NAMED DAIQUIRI ALLEN TOGO.

THE CURRENT PROPERTY IS ZONE COMMERCIAL AND IT IS LESS THAN HALF AN ACRE.

AND I'M JUST GONNA JUMP TO THIS SLIDE REAL QUICK TO SHOW YOU GUYS WHERE EXACTLY THIS IS AT.

SO IF YOU HEAD DOWN MAIN STREET EAST, UH, THIS IS A CHURCH'S BUILDING THAT'S CURRENTLY VACANT.

UM, SO KIND OF FAMILIAR TO EVERYONE, RIGHT? SO THIS IS THE, UH, CURRENT SITE PLAN THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING.

UM, AGAIN, IT WAS PREVIOUSLY A CHURCH'S CHICKEN RESTAURANTS, UM, SMALLER BUILDING.

IF YOU'VE SEEN, IT'S, UM, ABOUT 2200 SQUARE FEET.

UH, IT DOES HAVE AN EXISTING DRIVE-THROUGH LANE AND IT IS SURROUNDED PREDOMINANTLY BY COMMERCIAL DRIVE-THROUGH SIMILAR BUSINESSES.

UM, THE PROPERTY IS PROVIDING AMPLE PARKING, AND AGAIN, THE REQUEST IS FOR A DRIVE THROUGH DECORATE.

SO TO GET A LITTLE BIT INTO THAT, UM, WHAT THEY'RE INTENDING TO DO IS TO SELL PREPACKAGED, UH, OR PACKAGED DAIQUIRIS AND, UH, FINGER FOODS LIKE ONION RINGS, FRIES, THINGS LIKE THAT.

FOR OFFSITE CONSUMPTION ONLY, UH, THERE WILL BE NO LOBBY USE OR NO ONS.

ONSITE CONSUMPTION ALLOWED, THE, UH, HOURS OF OPERATION ARE PROPOSED TO BE SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 11:00 AM TO 12:00 PM AND

[00:35:01]

SO IF YOU'VE EVER HEARD OF QUIRE, UM, WHAT THEY DO IS THEY MIX ICE AND, UM, OTHER MIXERS LIKE, UH, MILK AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND THEN THEY PUT, OF COURSE THERE ARE ALCOHOL TO CREATE DIFFERENT FLAVORS.

SO THE DRC DEVELOPMENT RE COMMITTEE DOES RECOMMEND, UH, APPROVAL WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS.

THE FIRST ONE THAT THE APPLICANT SHALL OBTAIN APPROVAL FROM THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY DEPARTMENT FOR DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE LOCATION.

SECOND EMPLOYEE SHALL TAKE ORDERS FROM INSIDE THE BUILDING USING THE SPEAKER SYSTEM FOR THE DRIVE THROUGH LANE FROM THE DR.

YES.

AND THEN NUMBER THREE HOURS OF OPERATION SHALL NOT EXTEND BEYOND MIDNIGHT ON SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, AND 1:00 AM ON SATURDAY.

NUMBER FOUR, CITY COUNCIL SHALL CONDUCT A REVIEW OF THE SEP ONE YEAR AFTER APPROVAL OF THE, OF THE SEP, EXCUSE ME.

AND THEN NUMBER FIVE, OPERATIONS SHALL BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH TABC, TEXAS ALCOHOL AND BEVERAGE COMMISSION RULES AND FEDERAL ALCOHOL REGULATIONS.

THE APPLICANT IS HERE TONIGHT TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE FOR HIM, AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, WELL, IT SOUNDS WONDERFUL.

DID, DID YOU BRING ANY SAMPLES? DO WE HAVE ANY DAIQUIRIS? DO WE HAVE ANY FOOD? I JUST WANNA KNOW WHERE MINE IS.

I DID NOT BRING ME TOO BEYOND.

I WAS EVEN HESITANT TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, TO PUT THE MENU ON HERE BECAUSE SOME OF THE MENU ITEMS ARE INTERESTING, SO YEAH.

YES.

BUT, UH, IS THIS THE FIRST ONE OF THIS KIND TO BE, BECAUSE IT SAID TO BE OPEN AT ONE O'CLOCK ON SATURDAY, 1:00 AM I THOUGHT WE WERE TRYING TO LIMIT EVERYTHING TO 12 MIDNIGHT.

AM I WRONG ON THAT OR? SO, UM, THERE, THIS IS A VERY UNIQUE OPERATION THAT IS BEING PROPOSED TO GRAND PRAIRIE.

HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOME, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE GRAND PRAIRIE IS KIND OF AN INTERESTING SHAPE, IT'S A SLITHER.

THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE THE BOARD OF GRAND PRAIRIE, UM, AND THERE ARE SOME THAT DO OFFER DAIQUIRIS, BUT NOT DRIVE THROUGH ONLY OR THIS SPECIFICALLY TYPE OF BUSINESS.

BUT, BUT I GUESS WHAT I'M SAYING, THE DRIVE THROUGH.

DO WE HAVE ANY DRIVE THROUGH ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES THAT STAY OPEN TILL AFTER MIDNIGHT? BECAUSE I, I'M JUST NOT AWARE OF THAT.

I MEAN, UNLESS I MISSED IT SOMEWHERE.

DO WE, I'M SORRY.

DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER DRIVE THROUGH DAIQUIRI OR ANY KIND OF, YOU KNOW, BEVERAGE SHOPS THAT STAY OPEN AFTER 12 MIDNIGHT? NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF.

UM, I MEAN, OF COURSE, IF YOU WANNA LOOK AT IT FROM A OVERARCHING VIEWPOINT, THIS COULD BE A LIQUOR STORE THAT'S OPEN LATE, SOMEBODY PICKS UP THE LIQUOR AND IT'S, IT IS JUST THE DRIVE THROUGH COMPONENT THAT'S MAKING THIS COME, COME BEFORE, UH, P AND Z AND COUNCIL.

OKAY.

COMMISSIONERS, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER ERCO? UH, SALVADOR, COULD YOU GO BACK TO THE OVERVIEW OF THE RESTAURANT? NOPE.

THERE, YES.

SO LOBBY, NOT FOR USE, BUT TABLES AND CHAIRS INSIDE THE LOBBY.

SO BECAUSE THIS IS A FORMER CHURCH'S CHICKEN RESTAURANT, UM, IT IS IN THAT SHAPE AND STYLE, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I HAVE NOT BEEN INSIDE THE BUILDING, SO I'M NOT SURE IF THOSE CHAIRS ARE BOLTED TO THE GROUND.

UM, SOMETIMES, UH, THOSE OTHER RESTAURANTS THAT HAVE THAT KIND OF SITUATION, BUT THE APPLICANT IS CLEAR ON UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS STRICTLY FOR DRIVE THROUGH ONLY AND WE DO HAVE THE CONDITION AS WELL.

SO THERE WOULD BE NO, ABSOLUTELY NO USE OF, UH, LOBBY SALES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

OKAY.

AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ANSWER THIS, THIS MAY BE IN THE APPLICANT'S PURVIEW OR MS. DOER'S PURVIEW, BUT HOW DO THEY GET AROUND THE, WHAT'S IT, UM, OPEN BEVERAGE THING? I MEAN, THESE ARE ALCOHOLIC DRINKS, RIGHT? THEY ARE SERVED IN SEALED CONTAINERS.

UM, THE CURRENT LOSS SAYS YOU CAN'T HAVE AN OPEN CONTAINER IN YOUR VEHICLE IN ANY OF THE PASSENGER AREA OF YOUR VEHICLE OR ANY ACCESSIBLE AREA.

SO TECHNIC SO IT'S ALL SEALED, SO IT'S NOT, THE LAW DOESN'T CONSIDER THAT AN OPEN CONTAINER, I GUESS? CORRECT.

OKAY.

HAS TO REMAIN SEALED WHILE IT'S IN THE VEHICLE.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

GOOD QUESTION.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I THINK THIS IS COMMISSIONER, I HAVE A REAL QUICK QUESTION.

MM-HMM .

I MEAN, DON'T, DON'T WE ALREADY HAVE A DRIVE THROUGH BEER, LIKE A COUPLE OF BLOCKS FROM IT OR A BLOCK FROM IT ON THE, ON MAIN STREET YOU SAID A DRIVE THROUGH? YEAH, THE BEER.

UM, THE ONE THAT SELLS MEXICAN FOOD.

IT ALSO HAS, THEY USED TO DO A RIGHT.

THEY'RE OPEN UNTIL 12.

THERE IS ANOTHER DRIVE THROUGH ALCOHOL.

I HAVEN'T BEEN THERE, BUT, UM, PLACE ON MAIN STREET.

I THINK THEY SELL LIKE MEXICAN SNACKS AND THOSE TYPES OF FOODS AS WELL.

UM, SO YES.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER? ANGELA, LUCK.

YVONNE HAD A QUESTION.

UM, WILL THEY BE SELLING ANY TYPE OF FOOD OR SNACKS? UH, YES.
