MA'AM.[Planning & Zoning Briefing 03242026]
BRIEFING OF THE CITY OF GRAND PRAIRIE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR THE MEETING OF MARCH 24TH, 2026.I'M CHERYL SMITH, CHAIR OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
THE STAFF BRIEFING OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING IS HEREBY CALL TO ORDER AT 5:32 PM THIS PORTION OF THE MEETING IS WHERE THE STAFF BRIEFS THE COMMISSION AND PREVIEWS 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 THE BRIEFING.
PUBLIC HEARINGS WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE REGULAR MEETING, WHICH WILL BEGIN EARLIER THAN 6:30 PM I'LL NOT CONDUCT A ROLL CALL OF MEMBERS TO CONFIRM THE PRESENCE OF THE QUORUM.
HERE, LET THE RECORD REFLECT THAT ALL MEMBERS ARE PRESENT EXCEPT FOR JAMIE MENDEZ, ARI VICTOR MEDINA, AND JOHN PCO.
ARE ANY ITEMS FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION? NO, MA'AM.
STAFF, YOU'RE READY TO PRESENT? YES.
UH, THIS FIRST ITEM TO BE PRESENTED TONIGHT IS A SITE PLAN FOR A DIGITAL BILLBOARD AT 43 30 SOUTH HIGHWAY 360.
YOU CAN SEE THE PROPERTY IS OUTLINED IN YELLOW ON THE SCREEN.
AGAIN, THE PROPOSAL IS A SITE PLAN FOR DIGITAL BILLBOARD.
IT'S ON ABOUT 4.49 ACRES, AND IT'S ZONED PD ONE 40.
ON THE SCREEN, YOU CAN SEE THEIR PROPOSED SITE PLAN WITH THE LOCATION OF THE DIGITAL BILLBOARD.
UH, THE SITE'S CURRENTLY DEVELOPED AS A CELL STORAGE FACILITY, AND THEY'RE PROPOSING TO CONSTRUCT A DIGITAL BILLBOARD IN FRONT, UM, OF THE PROPERTY.
UH, IT'S 80 FEET IN HEIGHT, AND IT HAS 2 48 BY 14, UH, DIGITAL DISPLAY BOARDS.
SO EACH DISPLAY AREA IS A TOTAL OF 672 SQUARE FEET.
UM, THIS IS THE SIGN ELEVATION.
UM, SO FOR THE ZONING REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS, UH, NEW BILLBOARDS ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED WITHIN THE CITY OF GRAND PRAIRIE.
NEW DIGITAL BILLBOARDS ARE ONLY AUTHORIZED THROUGH THE CONVERSION OF EXISTING BILLBOARDS TO DIGITAL FORMAT.
UNDER LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES, UH, THERE ARE NO EXISTING BILLBOARDS PRESENT AT THIS LOCATION.
AND DIGITAL BILLBOARDS, WHICH ARE PROPOSED AT LOCATIONS WHERE THOSE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES ARE PRESENT MUST STILL MEET ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS.
UM, SO THE PROPOSED DI DIGITAL BILLBOARD DOES NOT MEET THOSE ADDITIONAL, UH, CONDITIONS.
AND THE ONES THAT THEY DO NOT MEET ARE SUMMARIZED ON THE SCREEN.
UH, NO PORTION OF THE DIGITAL BILLBOARD SHALL PROJECT INTO A DEDICATED UTILITY EASEMENT, AND THE PROPOSED DIGITAL BILLBOARD DOES PROJECT INTO A DEDICATED UTILITY EASEMENT.
A NEWLY CONSTRUCTED DIGITAL BILLBOARD SHALL NOT EXCEED 50 FEET IN HEIGHT ABOVE THE GRADE.
AT CENTER LINE OF THE MAIN TRAVELED WAY CLOSEST TO THE STRUCTURE.
UH, THE PROPOSED DI DIGITAL BILLBOARD EXCEEDS 50 FEET IN HEIGHT, UH, CANNOT BE LOCATED WITHIN 200 FEET OF A RESIDENTIAL ZONING LINE.
AND THE PROPOSED DIGITAL BILLBOARD IS LOCATED WITHIN 200 FEET OF A RESIDENTIAL ZONING LINE, CANNOT BE LOCATED WITHIN 1,500 FEET OF A PARK OR PLAYGROUND.
AND THE PROPOSED DIGITAL BILLBOARD IS LOCATED WITHIN 1,500 FEET OF A PARK OR PLAYGROUND.
UH, SO THE APPLICANT HAS STATED THAT THE PROPOSED SIGN IS AN ELECTRIC SIGN AND AN OUTDOOR ADVERTISING SIGN, WHICH ARE ALLOWED IN PD ONE 40.
UH, THE PROPOSED DIGITAL BILLBOARD IS NOT AN ELECTRIC SIGN OR AN OUTDOOR ADVERTISING SIGN.
UM, THE ELECTRIC SIGN DEFINITION IS ON THE SCREEN, AND THAT'S TYPICALLY, UM, LIKE A NEON SIGN IS CATEGORIZED AS AN ELECTRIC SIGN.
UM, SO THE DEFINITION OF AN OUTDOOR ADVERTISING SIGN IS INCLUDED ON THE SCREEN, AND IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY INCLUDE A DIGITAL BILLBOARD OR EVEN CONTEMPLATE THE USE OF A DIGITAL DISPLAY.
UH, DIGITAL BILLBOARDS DID NOT EXIST IN 1983 AND WERE FIRST INSTALLED IN THE TWO THOUSANDS.
AND 2008, THE CITY OF GRAND PRAIRIE AMENDED THE SIGN CODE ADDRESSING THE NEW TECHNOLOGY BY ADDING A DEFINITION OF DIGITAL BILLBOARD AND ADOPTING REQUIREMENTS SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS TYPE OF SIGN.
UM, OUTDOOR ADVERTISING SIGNS UNDER PD ONE 40 MUST MEET REQUIREMENTS, UM, AND THOSE, UH, THAT THEY ARE NOT MEETING ARE SHOWN ON THE SCREEN.
SO IT CAPS THE MAX HEIGHT AT 50 FEET.
AGAIN, THE PROPOSED DIGITAL BILLBOARD EXCEEDS 50 FEET IN HEIGHT, AND THERE SHALL BE A MINIMUM 50 FOOT SETBACK REQUIREMENTS FROM THE PROPERTY LINE.
AND THE PROPOSED DIGITAL BILLBOARD IS NOT AT LEAST 50 FEET FROM ALL PROPERTY LINES.
UH, SO BASED ON THAT, THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS DENIAL.
ANY QUESTIONS? ANYBODY HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THIS
[00:05:01]
ONE, PLEASE? I HAVE APPEARED.DOES THE APPLICANT GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO, TO RESPOND, YOU KNOW, BEFORE IT GETS HERE TO, TO US, BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO BE THAT IT'S NOT IN, IN LINE WITH ANY OF THE ZONING OR, YOU KNOW, VIOLATION OF ALL THOSE DIFFERENT THINGS.
WE WONDER, SUBMIT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
SO DURING THE, THE REGULAR MEETING, APPLICANTS DO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION.
THAT'S ONE THING I WAS GONNA SAY AS WELL, BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE, UH, BASED ON WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT THE RULES AND GUIDELINES, IF THERE WASN'T ONE THERE BEFORE, YOU CAN'T CONSTRUCT ANY NEW ONES IN, IN GRAND PRAIRIE.
HAVE THEY CONSIDER ANOTHER LOCATION? BUT HAVE YOU TALKED ABOUT, DID THEY, YOU TALK TO THEM ABOUT MAYBE BECAUSE IT'S IN, IT IS IN THE, IN THE, IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT WHOLE, UH, SPACE.
RIGHT? IS IT IN THE, WHERE IS IT? 'CAUSE I CAN'T REALLY TELL FROM THAT.
SO THAT, UH, CAN YOU POINT TO IT? DARK TRIANGLE AND BLACK, THAT REPRESENTS THE TWO FACES OF THE SIGN AND THAT'S NEAR THE STREET, THE STREET AREA.
AND THEN IT'S CLOSE TO RESIDENTIAL, BUT SO IT'S A DIGITAL SIGN THAT MEANS IT'S GONNA HAVE SHINY LIGHTS AND WHATEVER, AND THEN, AND THAT'S GONNA, YOU KNOW, BE, I GUESS THE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS A COMMUNITY.
RIGHT? SO IT IS WITHIN 200 FEET OF RESIDENTIAL ZONING.
YEAH, I, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT EITHER.
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THERE'S, THERE'S ALREADY, IT'S OUT OF COMPLIANCE BY JUST MAKING A BRAND NEW BILLBOARD AND THEN ALL THE VARIANCES.
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE WE'RE GOING NOWHERE FAST.
BUT I GUESS THEY HAVE A, THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO COME FORWARD TO JUSTIFY THAT.
WELL, KEEP IN MIND THIS IS A SITE PLAN APPLICATION.
SO YOUR REVIEW IS THE TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF THE SITE PLAN.
SO WITH THAT, DO THEY MEET THE STANDARD FOR WHICH THEY'RE APPLIED FOR TO SAY THEY DO NOT EXACTLY.
THEY ARGUE THAT WHAT THEY'VE SUBMITTED IS ALLOWED IN THE PD, THE OLDER PD, AND THEIR INTERPRETATION OF OUTDOOR, UH, WHAT'S THE OUTDOOR ADVERTISING? OUTDOOR ADVERTISING SIDE, WHICH IS ALLOWED IN THE PD.
BUT WE KNOW THAT THEY CAN REVIEW NOT INTERPRETATION.
THAT THAT WASN'T INTERPRETED TO ME A DIGITAL BILLBOARD SIDE.
ANOTHER QUESTION I HAD IS, ARE THERE ANY, UH, UH, DIGITAL BILLBOARDS CLOSE OR GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF ONE THAT YOU HAD TO DEAL WITH LATELY? OR HAVE YOU HAD ANY I DON'T RECALL ANY REALLY.
WE DON'T ALLOW THEM BY RIGHTS.
SO IN THOSE INSTANCES WHERE YOU HAVE AN EXISTING BILLBOARD MM-HMM
SOMEONE CAN'T CONVERT THAT ONE.
UH, BUT AN OLDER, ANOTHER ONE HAS TO BE TAKEN DOWN.
THAT'S ONLY ON LEGAL NONCONFORMING, RIGHT.
SO THEY DON'T MEET OUR, IT HAS TO BE AN EXISTING BILLBOARD.
IT'S LEGAL BECAUSE IT'S GRANDFATHERED IN, BUT IT'S NON-CONFORMING FOR CURRENT STANDARDS.
SO THEY CAN, THEY CAN, UH, CONVERT ONE OF THOSE TYPES TO A DIGITAL BOARD UNDER, AND THERE ARE CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS.
SO TELL ME THE MAIN REASON WHY WE AS A GENERAL RULE, WILL NOT ALLOW, UH, THE DIGITAL BILLBOARDS, UM, AS JUST THE STANCE THE CITY HAS TAKEN.
UM, AND I'LL SAY MANY CITIES HAVE TAKEN MM-HMM
UH, YOU HAVE A PLETHORA OF BILLBOARDS ALONG THE RIGHT OF WAYS.
IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT LOOK LIKE LAS VEGAS IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
UM, I WON'T SAY LAS VEGAS, BUT IF YOU'VE GONE AND YOU'VE SEEN JUST BILLBOARD AFTER BILLBOARD AFTER BILLBOARD AND THEN PICTURE THOSE BEING ADDITIONAL, AESTHETICALLY, IT'S NOT WHAT WE NEED.
IT'S A DISTRACTION FOR THOSE TRAVELING DOWN RIGHT AWAY.
SO EVEN TEXTILE IS INVOLVED WITH THE PROCESS OF, UH, KEEPING TRACK OF HOW MANY BILLBOARDS THERE ARE WITHIN THE CITY.
AND SO THAT'S WHERE WE COME IN AND WE HAVE A UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE THAT STIPULATES HOW MANY, NOT NECESSARILY HOW MANY, BUT THE PROCESS BY WHICH YOU CAN DO A NEW ONE.
TYPICALLY TAKES YOU REMOVING ANOTHER ONE.
SO, UM, WE WON'T GO INTO THE WEEDS OF THAT, BUT I THINK RIGHT NOW THIS APPLICATION IS JUST DEALING WITH THE TECHNICAL, SO SITE PLANS, YOU'RE JUST DEALING WITH ADMINISTRATIVE.
DO THEY MEET THE CRITERIA FOR WHAT'S YOUR APPLYING? YEAH, THEY DO NOT.
BUT I HAD REALLY DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THE SAFETY ASPECT OF, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE DRIVING AND GETTING DISTRACTED.
I STOLE THAT FROM TRANSPORTATION.
UH, SO TEXTILE INTERPRETS THAT LAW GIVES CITIES DIRECTIONS.
AND IN THIS CASE, CITY OF GRAND PRAIRIE IS WHAT THEY CALL A CERTIFIED CITY, ALLOWS US TO PERMIT SIGNS BASED ON OUR CODES.
[00:10:01]
BACK TO THAT FEDERAL LAW TRYING TO IMPROVE.HAVE WE HAD ANY, UH, ACCIDENTS OR ANY CONCERNS WITH REGARDS TO THE BILLBOARD WITH SAFETY, WITH TRAFFIC? SOMETHING DIRECTLY RELATED? I'M NOT AWARE, AWARE OF, BUT THERE ARE RESTRICTIONS ON THE BRIGHTNESS, THE DIRECTION OF LIGHTS THAT ARE PUT ON THERE.
ALL OF THAT IS IN TEXTILE STANDARDS THAT WE FLOW.
COMMISSIONER, FINISH, JOHN? YES, MA'AM.
I HAVE TO KIND OF EMBRACE WHAT, WHAT WE ACTUALLY MEAN.
I, I AM THINKING 35 AND ZANG, AND IT'S THE ONE THAT KIND OF FLIPS DIFFERENT ADVERSES ONE BY ONE.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? UM, IT'S NOT MECHANICAL BY ANY MEANS.
IT'S DIGITAL AND IT, SO THEY'RE ROLLING.
IT ROTATES JUST LIKE THE SCREEN IS ROTATING IMAGE IMAGERY.
THAT'S WHAT THE DIGITAL BILLBOARD WILL DO.
UM, AND USUALLY THERE'S A AMOUNT OF TIME THAT ONE IMAGE MUST STAY UP, RIGHT.
FOR THE SAKE OF DISTRACTION OF THOSE PASSING THROUGH MM-HMM
UM, SO THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE WANTING TO DO.
UM, AND THEY'RE CLAIMING THAT THE PD ALLOWS FOR THAT.
AND WHAT THEY'RE APPLYING FOR ALSO WITHOUT THE DIGITAL BILLBOARD DOES NOT MEET OUR STANDARDS FOR THE, YEAH.
SO WHETHER YOU LOOK AT IT WITH THE CURRENT UDC STANDARDS OR THE 1983 ZONING STANDARDS THAT WERE IN PLACE, WHETHER THE CD WAS EITHER STANDARD USE IS STILL
I WAS THINKING THE OTHER ONE, LIKE IN ADDISON, WHEN THEY HAVE THE BIG ONE THAT ROLLS SLOWLY, CURRENT EVENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING, YOU KNOW? SO I DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHAT THEY MEANT, BUT I UNDERSTAND.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS, COMMISSIONER, GENERAL CHAIR? I'D ALSO SAY, YOU KNOW, IF YOU LOOK AT THE SIDE OF THE EPIC MM-HMM
YOU KNOW, THAT COULD BE KIND OF AN EXAMPLE, WHAT YOU'D BE LOOKING AT.
AND MY CONCERN IS, IS, UM, WHICH THE GENTLEMAN OVER THERE WROTE UP OUT, UM, WHATEVER HIS NAME, BUT, UM, THE, UH, BRIGHTNESS.
THE BRIGHTNESS IS, EVEN THOUGH IT'S REGULATED, SOMETIMES THE BRIGHTNESS CAN GET OUT OF CONTROL AND BE BLINDING, ESPECIALLY FOR RESIDENTS IN THE AREA.
UM, AND OR DRIVERS OF COURSE MM-HMM
AND I ENCOURAGE YOU IF, IF YOU'RE GONNA HAVE DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS ITEM, TO ALSO HAVE IT DURING THE MAIN MEETING MM-HMM
SO THAT IT'S NOT ONLY CONVENIENT, I ONLY HAVE ONE OTHER QUESTION.
SHE BROUGHT UP A VERY GOOD POINT.
HOW TALL IS THAT, UH, THING AT THE EPIC, THE DIGITAL THING THAT'S IN THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING? IS IT 120 FEET OR SOMETHING? NO, NO.
UM, I WOULD SAY ABOUT 30 FEET, 40 FEET.
SEEMS LIKE IT'S TALLER THAN THAT, BUT OKAY.
I'M GONNA MAKE, SINCE YOU BROUGHT THE EPIC ONE UP, WE DID WORK FOR TEXTILE ON THAT ONE.
SO THEY DO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN HOW ADVERTISING CERTAIN BUSINESSES OR JUST YOUR STANDARD ADVERTISING VERSUS ADVERTISING THINGS THAT HAPPEN AT THAT LOCATION.
SO IN THE CASE OF THE EPIC, IT ADVERTISES EVENTS IS A DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATION FOR ADVERTISING.
AND PLUS THAT'S A REAL HUGE SETBACK ON THAT ONE AS WELL.
AND THE PARKING IS THE OTHER WAY I REFERENCING IT FOR SIZE.
NO, I'M GLAD YOU DID IT KNOCKED.
IT PUTS THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE.
ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY, HAS ANY QUESTIONS? MS. SAVANNAH? THANK YOU MS. SAVANNAH.
ALRIGHT, THE NEXT TWO ITEMS ARE RELATED TO THE SAME PROPERTY.
SO I'LL, I'LL PRESENT THEM AT ONCE.
UH, THE FIRST COMPONENT IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT.
UM, YOU CAN SEE THE LOCATION ON THE SCREEN.
THIS PROPERTY IS ACTUALLY, UM, RECENTLY BROUGHT INTO THE CITY OF GRAND PRAIRIE.
UH, THE CITY OF GRAND PRAIRIE AND IRVING DID AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT, UM, FOR THIS AREA.
AND SO AS PART OF THAT, THIS PROPERTY, WHICH USED TO BE IN IRVING, IS NOW IN THE CITY OF GRAND PRAIRIE.
AND SO WITH THAT, WE HAVE TO, UH, ZONE THE PROPERTY.
SO OUR DEFAULT ZONING FOR PROPERTIES THAT ARE RECENTLY ANNEXED IS AGRICULTURE.
AND SO THIS ZONING CHANGE IS TO, UM, REZONE IT TO COMMERCIAL.
SO WITH THAT, WE TAKE A LOOK AT OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WE HAVE A, A TINY CORNER OF THE PROPERTY THAT'S DESIGNATED AS OPEN SPACE SLASH DRAINAGE.
AND SO WE ARE CHANGING THAT TO COMMERCIAL RETAIL OFFICE.
AND THEN FOR THE BALANCE OF THE PROPERTY, UH, WHICH DOES NOT HAVE A FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION, WE ARE ESTABLISHING THE COMMERCIAL RETAIL OFFICE DISTRICT.
UH, SO THIS IS A LITTLE LESS THAN AN ACRE.
UH, SO THE ACCOMPANYING ZONING CHANGE AGAIN, IS FROM AGRICULTURE TO COMMERCIAL.
UH, IT'S WAS PART OF THE, UM, BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT.
AND WHEN IT WAS LOCATED WITHIN IRVING, IRVING DESIGNATED THIS AS COMMERCIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND SO THIS REQUEST, UH, REZONES IT TO COMMERCIAL.
AND THAT WAS THE, UM, CLOSEST, UH,
[00:15:01]
COMPARABLE ZONING DISTRICT TO WHAT ITS PREVIOUS ZONING DESIGNATION WAS.SO ANY FUTURE DEVELOPMENT WILL HAVE TO MEET THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS FOR, UH, COMMERCIAL.
AND WITH THAT, THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.
YOU GONNA DO TWO TOGETHER? TOGETHER? I'VE, I'VE DONE BOTH OF THEM.
I GUESS I WASN'T AS SOON AS YOU LOSE I ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT ONE? UH, THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD ON THAT ONE WAS, UH, I GUESS YOU, DID THERE AN ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY DONE ON THAT? BECAUSE YOU TALKED ABOUT THE DRAINAGE ISSUE AND IT COULD TURN IT INTO COMMERCIAL.
IS THAT GONNA BE WATER FLOODING EVERYWHERE ELSE AROUND THERE? SO THIS IS JUST THE ZONING PART.
EVENTUALLY, UM, IF THE PROPERTY IS DEVELOPED, UH, THE APPLICANT WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH, UM, SITE PLAN REVIEW WITH, WITH PLANNING.
THEY'LL HAVE TO WORK WITH IN, UH, TRANSPORTATION ON THE LOCATION OF DRIVEWAYS, WE'LL HAVE TO GET, UM, THEIR CIVILS APPROVED.
SO THIS IS REALLY JUST KIND OF THE FIRST STEP IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
I JUST REMEMBER A WHILE BACK, WE HAD SOME OTHER THINGS WERE BEING DEVELOPED AND THE PROPERTIES AROUND THEM, THERE WAS A WATER PROBLEM BECAUSE THE WATER WAS, WAS OVERFLOWING INTO THE OTHER SUBDIVISIONS AND STUFF.
THAT'S WHY I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT, I KNOW RIGHT NOW IT'S VACANT LAND, BUT BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S RESIDENTIAL ON ONE SIDE OR IS THAT TWO SIDES THERE.
AND SO THERE IS RESIDENTIAL TO THE, TO THE NORTH AND THEN, UH, ACROSS THE STREET, ACROSS BELTLINE.
UM, THERE'S TOWN HOMES THAT ARE, UH, EITHER VERY NEWLY CONSTRUCTED OR UNDER, STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT.
I BELIEVE IT MIGHT BE THE SAME MM-HMM
BUT WE, I WOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, PUTTING SO MUCH THERE TOGETHER AND NOT HAVING ENOUGH WATER FLOWING AND MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S TINY ISSUES AND THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ALREADY THERE AND, AND OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT TAKES A, A VERY CLOSE LOOK AT THAT WHEN, WHEN THEY DEVELOP THEIR PLANS AND GO THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESSION.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE QUESTION PERMISSION.
CAN YOU GO BACK A SLIDE OR TWO? ONE MORE? YEAH.
SO, UM, I'M, I'M CONFUSED BY THE TWO CIRCLES IN THE RED AND THE GREEN.
SO THE FIRST SHOWS THE EXISTING FLUE.
SO YOU CAN SEE JUST A CORNER OF THE PROPERTY HAS THE GREEN, WHICH IS THE OPEN SPACE DRAINAGE.
UH, THE SECOND IMAGE SHOWS WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED, WHICH IS THE COMMERCIAL RETAIL OFFICE, WHICH IS THE RED.
SO YOU DID THE, WHEN THE FLU WAS DONE BACK IN THE BAY, IT KIND PARCEL THAT WAY.
BECAUSE IT WASN'T IN OUR CITY LIMITS.
SO WE DO NOT
ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING TO THAT? THANK YOU FOR THAT.
UH, THE ITEM NUMBER FOUR, I'M SO SORRY.
ITEM NUMBER FIVE AND SIX, I'LL GET THAT CORRECTED FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING ARE ALSO AT THE SAME LOCATION.
SO I'LL COVER THE, UH, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, UH, ITEM AND THE ZONING ITEM TOGETHER.
SO THIS IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TO CHANGE THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, UH, FROM THE EXISTING MEDIUM DENSITY OPEN SPACE TO DRAINAGE TO MATCH THE PROPOSED CONCEPT PLAN, WHICH INCLUDES MIXED USE, MEDIUM DENSITY, RESIDENTIAL, AND OPEN SPACE.
SO, UM, OVERALL THIS IS GONNA BE A PART OF OVERALL GOODLAND PROJECT.
WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING HERE IS A SMALLER VERSION OF THE TOWN CENTER.
SO THEY'LL HAVE SOME MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL IN A CORNER WHERE THEY CAN HAVE SOME MIXED USE OR OPPORTUNITIES FOR MIXED USE WITH RESIDENTIAL AND SOME, UM, MAYBE COMMERCIAL.
SO JUST WANTING TO PROVIDE A GENERAL PICTURE OF WHERE THE PROPERTY'S LOCATED.
IT IS DIRECTLY NORTH OF THE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT.
THIS IS THE EXISTING PRAIRIE RIDGE.
SO THEY WILL BE RIGHT HERE AT THE UH, LAKEVIEW N 2 87.
HERE'S THE CONSEQUENCE THAT IS PREPARED BY THE UM, DEVELOPER.
THEY'RE SAYING, UH, THEY WANT TO DO MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AND UH, USE CHARACTER AREA, CHARACTER AREA HERE.
UM, WE ARE AMENDING OUR FUTURELY USED MAP TO ALIGN WITH WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING.
THE REASON WE HAVE IT CUT SHORT IS BECAUSE THIS IS THE OVERALL PARCELS.
THEY'RE WORKING ON SOME ANNEXATION REQUEST BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE OUR CURRENCY LIMIT STOPS.
SO THEY'LL EVENTUALLY COME UP AND DO THE ZONING AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TO CLEAN ALL THAT UP.
RIGHT NOW THIS PORTION IS WITHIN CITY LIMITS, SO THEY WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND UPDATE THE ZONING FOR THAT PROPERTY.
SO THE DRC RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THIS, UH, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT.
THE ITEM NUMBER SIX IS A ZONE CHANGE THAT ACCOMPANIES THAT.
THIS IS ALSO FOR THE GOODLAND RIVER BAND.
[00:20:01]
MIXED RESIDENTIAL AND MIXED USE AREA ON 128 ACRES OF LAND.HERE'S THAT THEY'RE SHOWING THE, UM, TWO DIFFERENT CHARACTER AREA THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING.
AGAIN, THIS IS FAIRLY SIMILAR TO THE OTHER PROPOSALS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL.
SO THE MIXED RESIDENTIAL AREA, WHICH IS OUTLINED IN RED FOR NOW, THEY ARE PROPOSING ABOUT 70 ACRES OF LAND.
THEY WILL ALLOW VARIOUS HOUSING TYPES FOR SINGLE FAMILY TOWN HOMES.
THESE ARE TYPE OF HOUSING THAT WAS PROPOSED AS THE OVERALL OPTION FOR THE ENTIRE GOODLAND AREA.
SO THERE WILL BE GENERALLY SINGLE FAMILY IN NATURE.
THEY WILL ALSO INCLUDE A NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL NODE WITH MAXIMUM OF 10 ACRES PER NODE.
SO THERE'S A SECOND AREA, WHICH IS MORE THE ORANGE AREA CLOSER TO THE HIGHWAY.
THEY ARE PROPOSING THIS TO BE A MIXED USE CHARACTER AREA, WHICH HAS OPPORTUNITY FOR HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL MIXED USE, INCLUDING RETAIL, RESTAURANT AND RESIDENTIAL AND CIVIC AND OFFICE USES.
THEY DO HAVE A SUB AREA FOR REGIONAL COMMERCIAL.
AGAIN, HERE ARE THESE ELEVATIONS, UM, THAT WAS OVERALL APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL FOR THE GENERAL GOODLAND OVERALL DEVELOPMENT.
THEY'RE CARRYING OVER THE SAME CHARACTERISTICS AS A, UH, IMAGE FOR THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT TO BE CONTINUOUS.
SO DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE APP RECOMMENDS APPROVAL WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITION AS PART OF THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
LAKEVIEW DRIVE AND NECESSARY INTERNAL THOROUGHFARE SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED TO ACCOMMODATE THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT TRAFFIC IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TECH DOT AND TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT STANDARDS.
THIS CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION.
IS THERE ANY QUESTION FOR STAFF AT THIS TIME? THAT'S A LOT.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL, UH, DEVELOPMENT.
UM, AND WE'RE ALREADY OUT THERE.
SO, SO WHEN IS THE, THIS IS PROBABLY NOT SUPPOSED TO ASK THIS QUESTION, BUT WHEN IS THE CITY GONNA ACTUALLY HAVE A SATELLITE CITY OFFICE UP THERE? YOU WANT? YEAH, THAT'S ON THE JOHNSON COUNTY SIDE.
SO WE USED TO THE GO TOWN CENTER THERE.
UM, THAT IS THE POTENTIAL LOCATION FOR A SATELLITE LOCATION, UH, FIRE STATION BASED LOCATION.
YEAH, BECAUSE THAT'S A WAY OUT IN THE GOONIES.
AND WHAT IS SURROUNDING THERE? I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT'S SURROUNDING THERE.
IT'S JUST VENUS, UH, NASHVILLE TO THE NORTH VENUS TO THE WEST SOUTHWEST.
UM, AND THEN BOTH IN, ALONG 67 THERE TO THE SOUTH.
SO, UM, YES, UH, TO YOUR POINT, IT TAKES 30 MINUTES TO GET DOWN THERE.
UH, SO THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE DOWN THERE TALKING ANOTHER 30, 40, 50,000 PEOPLE WILL NEED A SATELLITE LOCATION AMENITIES, JUST LIKE WE HAVE UP HERE.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S IN PLANS WITH THE DEVELOPER.
THE DEVELOPER HAS BEEN APPROVED BY COUNCIL FOR A BUNCH OF THIS IS 5,000 ACRES AND THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY HAD COME UP ON THE MARKET AND THEY ARE LOOKING TO DO EXACTLY WHAT THEY'VE BEEN DOING, JUST EXPANDING TO THE NORTH.
SO, UM, THAT, UH, THE 2 87 IS GONNA BE EXPANDED.
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT WE WERE SAYING ABOUT, ABOUT THAT.
UH, YOU MAY ABLE TO SPEAK TO THAT.
THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO TDOT'S ATTENTION, ALL THIS DEVELOPMENT AND POTENTIAL POPULATION.
SO MUCH OF THAT IS GONNA BE LOOKED AT AND YEAH, SO THERE ARE COMPLETED SCHEMATIC DESIGNS FOR THE ADDITIONAL FRONTAGE ROUTES AND THEN YOU WOULD'VE WHAT WE CALL SPLIT GRADE CROSSING, WHICH IS BRIDGES.
UM, SO YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TRAFFIC, UM, CROSSING THE MAIN LANES THEY'D GO UNDER AND AROUND.
UH, SO THOSE, THOSE PLANS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED.
NOW IT'S JUST AWAITING FUNDING AND HOW THAT GETS PROGRAMMED INTO ALL THE PROJECTS WE HAVE IN THE REGION.
BUT THAT WOULD BE A TDOT NCT COG PROJECT, NOT A CITY PROJECT.
UH, WE DON'T HAVE A FIRM TIMELINE ON THAT YET, BUT I WOULD NOTE FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT SPECIFICALLY, TDOT DID CLOSE THAT MEDIAN OPENING AT LAKEVIEW DRIVE.
SO DRIVERS COULD NO LONGER TRY TO JUMP ACROSS TRAFFIC IN THE, IN THE BUSY HOURS.
THEY HAVE TO MAKE A, A RIGHT TURN AND USE ONE OF THE TURNAROUNDS THAT WE'VE INSTALLED.
UH, THERE'S ALSO GOODLAND PARKWAY, WHICH IS NOW OPEN TO THE WEST, WHICH IS A RELIEF ROUTE FOR THE DEVELOPMENTS.
THEY CAN TAKE THAT NORTH FROM CONNECT DIRECTLY TO 360.
SO WHAT DOES THAT MAKE US? WE'RE AT 200,000.
LIKE WHAT DOES THAT EXPAND THOSE TO? HYPOTHETICALLY? TWO 50.
UM, I RECOMMEND, AS RICK MENTIONED, MIDDLE PARKWAY IS OPEN.
I RECOMMEND GOING DOWN TO THE LIMITS OF 360 AND YOU CAN SEE IT.
I HAVEN'T BEEN DOWN THERE IN A WHILE.
[00:25:01]
BEEN DOWN THERE A WHILE BACK BECAUSE I WAS GOING SOMEWHERE AND I SAW IT.I SAW A LITTLE OF IT, BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN DOWN IN THERE.
THAT SHOULD BE A FIELD TRIP FOR US.
IS THAT NORTH SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY? IS THAT GRAND PRAIRIE AS WELL? YES.
SO THE NORTH SIDE IS LAKE SALT.
YEAH, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE A DIFFERENT LITTLE PARK, THE POCKET PARKS AND LITTLE SECOND AREAS AND THEN IN BETWEEN AND LITTLE RESTAURANT, YOU KNOW, A WALKABLE WHATEVER.
DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR SAVANNAH? I'M SORRY,
SAVANNAH IS, NO, THAT'S A COMPLIMENT.
BEING CALLED SAVANNAH IS A COMPLIMENT.
ITEM NUMBER SEVEN IS A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR OTHER RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITY.
THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 26 42 TON STREET AND IS PLANNED, UH, ZONED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 50 DISTRICT.
HERE'S AN AERIAL VIEW FOR YOUR BENEFIT.
YOU CAN SEE THE PROPERTY THERE OUTLINED IN YELLOW, SURROUNDED IN A SEA OF HOUSES AND ALSO ZONED PD ONE 50.
HERE'S A STREET VIEW PICTURE OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

AND NUMBER FIVE, THE APPLICANT SHALL MAINTAIN ALL REQUIRED STATE LICENSES AND OR CERTIFICATIONS.
MADAM CHAIR, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I WANNA SEE IF ANYBODY ELSE HAS ANY QUESTIONS.
FIRST, DOES ANYBODY, COMMISSIONER ER I JUST WANTED TO SAY I THINK THE STAFF DID A GREAT JOB ON, UM, ANSWERING ALL OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WE HAD ON PREVIOUS ONES UP FRONT.
LIKE HOW MANY POLICE CALLS, HOW MANY CODE VIOLATIONS, UM, ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
HOW, HOW FAR IS THE NEAREST HOME RESIDENCE AND UH, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THEY DID A REALLY GOOD JOB OF LETTING IT ALL OUT THERE, SO THANK YOU.
YOU DID A VERY GOOD JOB, ERIN.
THE, MY CONCERN IS, AGAIN, IT'S LIKE THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUBDIVISION, THAT MIDDLE OF THE STREET.
I MEAN THAT, THAT IS A DISRUPTION SOMEWHAT TO ME TO HAVE IT SITTING RIGHT THERE.
I THINK YOU CAN, YOU SEE THAT, THAT ALL OF THE HOUSES, IT'S, IT'D BE DIFFERENT IF IT WERE ON A CORNER OR A CUL-DE-SAC OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT RIGHT THERE IN THE MIST AND I WAS READING THROUGH AND I'D LIKE TO LET US AN OPPOSITION READ OF COURSE, BUT THERE'S ALREADY PROBLEMS WITH CARS ON THE STREET.
SO, YOU KNOW, BRINGING THAT, UH, BUSINESS IN THERE IS GONNA FURTHER COMPLICATE EVERYBODY GETTING, GETTING IN AND OUT OF THAT PROPERTIES.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE NUMBER ONE CONCERN FOR ME, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TYPE OF GROUP HOME IT IS BECAUSE IT IS A NEED THAT'S NOT THAT, BUT IT'S JUST, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THE HOMEOWNERS JUST KEEP, WE KEEP GETTING ALL THIS STUFF AND WE, YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE I THINK ONE OF THE LETTERS READ, UH, I PAID, I SPENT ALL THIS MONEY PAYING MY MORTGAGE AND NOW I HAVE TO HAVE A GROUP HOME NEXT TO ME.
THAT'S NOT WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR, YOU KNOW, WHICH I, I THINK I KNOW WHAT THE, THE STATE SAYS AND LEGALLY WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN, BUT IT JUST SEEMS LIKE SUCH A DISRUPTION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO ME.
AND THEN AGAIN, MY CONCERN IS IF WE HAVE THESE, UH, FOLKS WITH THESE DISABILITIES, SUPPOSE WE HAVE MORE THAN ONE THAT TIME OF CONTROL AND THAT SOMETHING HAPPENS.
I MEAN, I I, THAT CONCERNS ME TOO.
ESPECIALLY THE TYPE OF DISABILITIES THAT THEY HAVE.
SO YOU HAVE, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO FOCUS ON THE USE OF THE PROPERTY, NOT NECESSARILY THE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE POTENTIALLY GOING TO BE IN THIS PROPERTY.
WELL, ONLY BECAUSE I'M SAFE SAFETY WISE, I'M, I'M TALKING ABOUT ON THE SAFETY END AS, UH, MAKING SURE THAT THOSE PER THOSE FOLKS ARE RESTRAINED OR THEY'RE, THEY'RE KEPT TO BE SAFE FOR THEMSELVES AND FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO COMMISSIONER
THIS WAS A, UH, A DEFERRAL FROM A PRIOR MEETING, THE MARCH 6TH LAST, THAT'S CORRECT.
YEAH, BUT WE DID SOMETHING IN THE LAST WE DID, WE HAD, YES, WE HAD A DIFFERENT ADDRESS.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.
THE REASON WHY THIS ITEM GOT RENO IS IT, IT WAS UNCLEAR WHETHER AS A HOME, UM, SORRY, I'M, UH, NO AS A HOME AND COMMUNITY BASED SERVICES PROVIDER THAT'S CERTIFIED UNDER THE STATE, WHETHER THEY ALSO HAD TO BE REGISTERED IN LIFE OR SORRY, LICENSED WITH THE STATE AS A DIFFERENT TYPE OF LICENSING HOME OR LICENSED FACILITY.
UM, THE STATE HAS CONFIRMED WITH US THAT THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE LICENSED.
THEY ARE ONLY CERTIFIED ON THE STATE LEVEL AS THEY ARE, UM, CERTIFIED THAT THEY CONTRACT WITH THE STATE TO PERFORM SERVICES UNDER THE MEDICAID FORM.
IT MAY NOT MISREAD IT IN THE PACKET.
[00:35:01]
LIKE THERE'S ANOTHER GROUP HOME THAT'S GONNA BE CLOSED FOR THESE SAME PEOPLE THAT HAS THREE PEOPLE IN IT.THEY'RE GONNA MOVE IT TO THIS LOCATION.
SO THAT MEANS IN PROXIMITY THERE WON'T BE THE PROBLEM OF THE 2,500 FEET.
MADAM CHAIR, THE ADDRESS MENTIONED IN THE STAFF REPORT IS, UM, RUN BY THE APPLICANT.
IT IS NOT THE ADDRESS THAT I MENTIONED BEFORE ON COVENTRY.
THE ADDRESS IS ACTUALLY RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS EVENING.
SO, UH, IF YOU CAN SEE MY, MY CURSOR UP THERE, IT IS THIS ADDRESS, UH, SHE IS IN THE PROCESS OF CLOSING THAT THE APPLICANT IS HERE.
AND SO IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT HER REASONING FOR CLOSING OR WHAT PROCESS SHE'S GOING THROUGH, THAT WOULD BE GREAT TO ASK HER.
SO JUST, JUST ONE CLEAR THIS UP THOUGH.
SO WE HAVE A GROUP HOME THAT THERE, THAT'S NOT BEING MANAGED A, A, A CODE ENFORCEMENT AT ALL.
OUR, OUR, UH, PD WENT OUT FOR AN INSPECTION IN 2025 AND FOUND THAT SHE WAS OPERATING AND NOT REGISTERED.
THE ONE ACROSS THE STREET? THAT'S CORRECT.
BUT THIS, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY EMPTY.
WE'VE HAD INSPECTIONS BY OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT OUT THERE.
THEY'VE CONFIRMED THAT IT IS NOT BEING OPERATED AT THIS MOMENT.
SO THIS IS HER RELOCATING? YES.
AND, AND MADAM CHAIR, WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO PASS OUT THE, THE LETTERS? YES.
YOU, YOU HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAH, I JUST KIND OF WANTED GET THIS AND I THINK JULIE, YOU WANT TO WAIT TO READ THINGS, BUT I WON'T.
YOU SHOULD REALLY HAVE YOUR DISCUSSION.
THINK IT'S I AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING, I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE PEOPLE THAT TOOK THE TIME TO OPPOSE IT HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HEARD.
WHETHER THEY SHOW UP HERE, I'M NOT, YOU KNOW, UH, PHYSICAL TIME.
ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? BECAUSE I THINK EVERYTHING ELSE WE HAVE TO DISCUSS AT SIX 30, RIGHT? YEAH.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS NOT BEING OPERATED AT ALL.
THE PREVIOUS ONE, THE OTHER, THE OTHER PROPERTY.
AND THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY BEING, TRYING TO GET IT REGISTERED.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? OKAY, FANTASTIC.
ALRIGHT, UH, THAT BEING THE LAST CASE, IS IT 6 0 9? SIX 10? WE'RE GONNA RECONVENE AT SIX 30.
