WELCOME TO[Planning & Zoning Briefing 07282026]
THE STAFF BRIEFING OF THE CITY OF GRAND PRAIRIE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR THE MEETING OF JULY 28TH, 2026.I'M CHERYL SMITH, CHAIR OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
THIS STAFF BRIEFING OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING IS HERE BY CALL TO ORDER AT 6:05 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 THE BRIEFING.
PUBLIC HEARINGS WILL TAKE PLACE DURING DIRECT THE MEETING.
DO BEGIN OR ORIENT AT 6:30 PM WHEN I CALL.
I WILL, UH, NOW CONDUCT A ROLL CALL OF MEMBERS TO CONFIRM THE PRESENCE OF THE COURT AFTER, I'LL CALL YOUR NAME, PLEASE SAY HERE.
THE DIRECT REFLECT THAT ALL MEMBERS ARE PRESENT EXCEPT FOR MALCOLM CHA, CHRISTOPHER OLE VICTOR MEINA, AND JOHN FCO.
ARE THERE ANY ITEMS FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION? NO MA'AM.
STAFF, YOU READY TO PRESENT? GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.
THE ITEM NUMBER TWO IS A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR VS MOBILE AUTO.
SO THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING, UM, TO OCCUPY ONE OF THE, UH, RECENTLY BUILT BUILDINGS IN A COMMERCIAL SUITE.
UM, HE IS REQUESTING TO GET AN APPROVAL FOR A, UH, MOBILE AUTO SHOP.
HERE'S AN AERIAL VIEW OF WHERE THIS IS GENERALLY LOCATED.
THIS AREA HAS BEEN VACANT FOR A LONG TIME.
THE DEVELOPER HAS CONSTRUCTED A WAREHOUSE BUILDING.
HE'S WORKING ON A SECOND ONE, SO HE'LL BE ONE OF THE FIRST TENANTS IN THIS BUILDING.
UM, SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE BUILDING A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
THE YELLOW AREA IS THE SUITE THAT HE WILL BE OCCUPYING, WHICH IS ALSO INDICATING ORANGE IN THIS AREA.
SO THIS IS NOT REALLY A TRADITIONAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP WHERE PEOPLE SCHEDULE THEIR APPOINTMENTS, DROP OFF THEIR CAR AND COME BACK AND PICK IT UP.
HIS BUSINESS MODEL IS A MOBILE BASED MEANING HE'S GONNA USE THIS SPACE MAINLY AS AN ADMIN OFFICE TO DISPATCH HIS WORKERS.
SO HE ACTUALLY OWNS THREE COMPANY FLEET VANS THAT IS ALREADY LOADED WITH SOME OF THESE TYPICAL EQUIPMENT THAT HE NEEDS TO DO SOMEWHERE BETWEEN MINOR TO MAJOR AUTO REPAIR.
HIS, UH, BUSINESS MODEL IS THAT THE CUSTOMER CALLS ONE OF THEM AND THEY'LL DISPATCH THE VAN WITH A MECHANIC ON IT AND MEET THE CUSTOMER AT THEIR SITE.
IT COULD BE THEIR HOUSE, IT COULD BE BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
THEY SAID, UM, THE APPLICANT DID SAY THAT SOME OF THE CUSTOMER HE GETS ARE LIKE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS.
THEY'LL DRIVE TO A JOB SITE AND WILL NOTICE LIKE SOME THINGS CLUNKY WITH THEIR TRUCK WHILE THEY'RE STILL AT THEIR WORK.
THE VAN MAY GO THERE AND MEET THEM IN THEIR PARKING LOT AND LOOK AT THE TROUBLE.
SO ONLY TIME THAT, UM, THIS PLACE WILL BE TRULY USED FOR UM, TRADITIONAL REPAIR IS IF THEY RUN INTO AN ISSUE A MECHANIC DETERMINES WE NEED THE WATER PARTS OR WHERE WE CANNOT HANDLE THIS RIGHT AT THIS SITE WITHIN THE TIMEFRAME THEY'LL WERE GIVEN AND THEY WILL, UH, TOW THE CAR TO THE SITE, WHICH DOES NOT HAPPEN.
UH, OFTEN THEIR, HONESTLY THEIR MODEL IS, HEY, WE WILL TRAVEL TO WHERE THE CUSTOMERS ARE.
AGAIN, THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE NEWLY CONSTRUCTED WAREHOUSE THAT THEY'RE PLANNING ON OCCUPYING.
SO THEY ARE REQUESTING A VARIANCE.
LET ME GO BACK TO THE SITE PLAN.
SO BASED ON THEIR UM, LAND USE, THEY ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE 10 PARKING SPACES.
BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, THE OFFICE WAREHOUSE HAS A LIMITED PARKING AREA.
THEY WERE ABLE TO AGREE WITH THE, UH, LANDLORD AND DESIGNATE SIX SPOTS FOR THEIR USE, WHICH IS STILL, UH, PRETTY DECENT NUMBER FOR THE AREA PARKING THAT'S AVAILABLE ON SITE.
AGAIN, THERE'S UM, ANOTHER BUILDING WITH A SIMILAR OR A LITTLE BIT MORE AMOUNT OF PARKING AVAILABLE ALSO.
SO GENERALLY ALL THESE USERS WILL END UP SHARING THE PARKING SPACES.
THIS IS THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE A COMPANY VAN, WE JUST WANTED TO TIE DOWN SOME OF THE PARKING AREA THAT'S NEEDED FOR THEIR BUSINESS TO OPERATE.
SO THEY ARE REQUESTING A VARIANCE FROM THE REQUIRED 10 PARKING SPACES TO ALLOW ONLY SIX, SIX DESIGNATED PARKING SPACES.
THIS IS THE ONLY VARIANCE THAT THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING.
AS YOU HAVE KIND OF NOTICED, THE STAFF STARTED PROVIDING SOME OF THE ANALYSIS BASED ON WHAT WE'RE FINDING.
SO THE FIRST IS, IS THE PROPOSAL COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA? SO AS I HAVE NOTED, THE SURROUNDING AREA ALREADY HAS A LOT OF METAL BUILDINGS THAT'S BEEN THERE SINCE PROBABLY THE NINETIES AND EIGHTIES.
THEY ARE GENERALLY INDUSTRIAL USE.
I DID A LITTLE QUICK DROP AROUND THROUGH DOREEN STREET ALL THE WAY TO 23RD AND DROVE BACK.
AND GENERALLY THERE ARE SIMILAR BUILDINGS THAT CAN SHOW THE SURROUNDING BUILDINGS.
YOU CAN KIND OF SEE, OH, SO SORRY.
I GUESS YOU CANNOT SEE THIS ONE.
[00:05:01]
YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE GENERAL AREA HAS SIMILAR OVERHEAD DOORS, MIDDLE INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS ALREADY IN PLACE.SO THE SECOND ANALYSIS IS HOW THIS, THIS RELATE TO EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS.
SO THIS AREA IS GENERALLY SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZED OFFICE WAREHOUSE INDUSTRY BUILDINGS THAT ARE PROBABLY SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESSES AND SERVICE ORIENTED BUSINESSES.
UM, THE PROPOSAL IS CONSISTENT.
AND WHAT OTHER CHARACTERISTICS THAT YOU SHOULD BE CONSIDERING WHEN YOU'RE MAKING YOUR DECISION? ONE, THIS TENANT SPACE IS LOCATED WITHIN A RECENT COMPLETED INFO INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT.
AS I'VE NOTED THIS AREA, I'VE BEEN GENERALLY VACANT, UH, FOR A WHILE.
AND THE, UM, DEVELOPERS STARTING TO DO SOME INVESTMENT 'CAUSE AS THEY'RE FINDING OUT THEY HAVE NEEDS FOR THESE OFFICE WAREHOUSES FOR SMALL BUSINESSES.
SO THIS WILL, UH, OCCUP OCCUPANCY OF SPACE CONTRIBUTES TO THE CONTINUED ACTIVATION OF THE AREA AND THAT SUPPORTS THE ONGOING ECONOMIC ACTIVITY WITHIN THE AREA THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY UNDERUTILIZED.
ONE OTHER THING THAT YOU, UM, MAY WANNA CONSIDER IS THAT THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM A TRADITIONAL REPAIR FACILITY AND ACTIVITIES WILL OCCUR PRIMARILY OFF PREMISE.
UM, THIS LIMITS DIRECT OBSERVATION OF OUR DAY-TO-DAY CODE ENFORCEMENTS AND GOING OUT TO THE SITE, MAKING SURE ALL THE DISPOSALS ALL ARE DONE PROPERLY.
UM, TO ADDRESS THAT CON CONCERNS ABOUT THOSE TYPE OF OPERATION, THE APPLICANT SHARED WITH US THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A ZERO TO A POLICY FOR GROUND CONTAMINATION.
SO THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE A POLICY TO COLLECT ALL THE DEBRIS AND MATERIALS AND ANY OIL FROM THE JOB SITE, TRANSPORT IT BACK TO THEIR JOB SITE AND DISPOSE THERE PROPERLY.
SO IF YOU, UM, IF PLANNING AND ZONING WOULD RECOMMEND APPROVAL, THIS REQUEST THAT RECOMMENDS THE FOLLOWING CONDITION TO BE ADDED AND JUST AS YOU IN OUR REFERENCE THESE IS, THESE, UH, CONDITIONS ARE PRETTY TYPICAL, UM, FOR ANY AUTOMOTIVE RELATED BUSINESS.
THIS JUST ADDRESSES COMPLIANCE WITH ALL OUR CODE OF ORDINANCES AS WELL AS OUR DEVELOPMENT STANDARD.
THAT ONE OPERATIONAL, UH, OPERATIONS SHALL COMPLY WITH THE PROVIDER OPERATIONAL PLAN.
UM, AND THAT THE, UH, IF THIS AREA EVER CONVERTS BACK INTO MORE TRADITIONAL AUTO REPAIR MAJOR SHOP UNDER THE SUP CLAIMS, THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO, UH, ACTUALLY, UM, COME BACK AND BE RECONSIDERED.
SO IF THE, UH, OPERATION CHANGES, THEN THE MAJORITY OF REPAIRS ARE DONE ON SITE OR THE PARKING ACTUALLY NEEDS, UH, EXCEED THE REQUESTED PARKING SPACE, THEY WILL COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENT OF 10 PARKING SPACES.
WHEREAS SAYING YOU CAN NO LONGER CLAIM THE VARIANCES FOR REDUCED PARKING.
NUMBER TWO, THAT BUSINESS SHALL OBTAIN A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY AND AUTO RELATED BUSINESS PERMIT.
AND NUMBER THREE, THAT THEY WILL COMPLY WITH THE GARAGE SERVICE, UH, REQUIREMENT PER PUBLIC HEALTH AND PROVIDE THE LETTER BEFORE THE ASSURANCE SERVICE CERTIFICATE OCCUPANCY NUMBER FOUR, THAT THE OPERATIONS WILL COMPLY WITH OUR REGULATION FOUND IN THE CHAPTER 13 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES.
THIS CONCLUDES THAT PRESENTATION.
THE APPLICANT IS IN THE MILITARY SERVICE.
HE ACTUALLY PLANNED TO ATTEND THE LAST MEETING, BUT DUE TO SOME ERRORS IN THE NOTIFICATION, HE COULD NOT REQUEST ADDITIONAL TIME OFF TO BE THERE HERE TODAY.
HE APOLOGIZED SINCERELY, UM, BUT HE DID TRY TO EXPLAIN, HEY, THIS IS WHAT WE DO.
THIS IS HOW WE OPERATE, UM, TO THE STAFF, JUST IN CASE THAT YOU GUYS HAD A QUESTION.
THIS CONCLUDES THAT PRESENTATION.
IS THERE ANY QUESTION FOR STAFF AT THIS TIME? ION Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
VERY IMPORTANT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT OUT REALLY LIKE THE ANALYSIS.
I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED STAFF POSITION.
CONSIDERATIONS FOR APPROVAL REGARDING THE THE PARKING.
UM, SO IS THIS BUILDING ALREADY BUILT? IT IS ALREADY BUILT.
THEREFORE IS LIMITED ON THE, UH, PARKING SPACE? THAT IS CORRECT.
SO YOU KNOW THIS PARKING LOT AND THE BUILDING IS PHASE ONE OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.
IT'S ALREADY BUILT AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THOSE ARE THE PARKING PROVIDED AT LEAST ON THIS PORTION CURRENTLY.
BUT THE, UM, DEVELOPER ACTUALLY HAS A SITE PLAN APPROVED AND THEY ARE WORKING ON FINISHING OUT THE SECOND PHASE, WHICH ACTUALLY PROVIDES ADDITIONAL PARKING.
UH, STAN THAT HE'S NOT ABLE TO BE HERE, BUT HE SHOULD HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE SOMEWHERE HERE.
YOU KNOW, AND IT'S DOING A DIFFERENT TYPE OF SERVICE.
LIKE IS THIS HIS FIRST BUSINESS? NO.
IT SEEMS HE'S ALREADY KIND OF HAD THE BUSINESS ESTABLISHED IS THAT THIS IS HIS FIRST DISPATCH LOCATION.
'CAUSE HE REALLY WANNA TIE IT DOWN TO A SERVICE CENTER.
THE ONLY THING I WANTED WAS YOU SAID THIS IS GONNA BE MORE MOBILE? YES.
[00:10:01]
TO A RESIDENCE, UH, UH, JUST IN CASE IT'S A RESIDENCE.I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S GONNA BE, UM, WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT? INTERFERING WITH THE, THE HOMEOWNERS.
YOU KNOW, AND IT'S A BIG OLD, UM, VAN AND TY UP SPACE.
AND SO YOU, DO YOU SEND OUT LETTERS? HAVE YOU SEND OUT ANY LETTERS? SO, YES.
UM, TO ANSWER THE SECOND QUESTION, YES, WE ALWAYS SEND THE PON LETTERS.
AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, PON LETTERS ARE ONLY SENT TO THE PROPERTY NEIGHBORS.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE, ALL THE NEIGHBORS ARE ALREADY LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES.
BUT, UM, WE DID ASK ABOUT THAT OFFSITE OPERATION AND HE SAID SOMETIMES IF THE CUSTOMERS ARE NEAR A, UM, GAS STATION, SOMETIMES THEY'LL ASK THEM TO COME THERE ONLY BECAUSE GAS STATION USERS ARE A LITTLE BIT MORE FRIENDLY WITH CARS BEING LOOKED AT TO BE TOWED.
SO AGAIN, UM, THOSE ARE SOME OF HIS COMMENTS.
BUT HE HAS NOT COMPLETELY ADDRESSED WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A CUSTOMER IS A PRIVATE PERSON AT A HOME.
BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT ANY DIFFERENT FROM YOU, YOU KNOW, CHANGING YOUR OWN TIRES.
AGAIN, THAT WAS WHY STEPH, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAD ACELLULAR TOLERANCE FOR GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION.
IT DEPENDS ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE YOU MAY NOT WANT SOMEBODY GETTING UNDER A HOOD.
YOU HAVE ALL THIS STUFF OUT AND YOU, YOU, YOU'RE OUTSIDE.
AGAIN, HE DOESN'T, HIS CUSTOMERS NOT LIMITED TO GRAND PRAIRIE.
SO, YOU KNOW, HE'S, IT SEEMS LIKE HE SERVES DFW AREA GENERALLY.
I THINK THAT'S WHY HE HAS THAT VAN BECAUSE HE WANTS TO DEPLOY THREE OF HIS MECHANICS TO WHEREVER THE CUSTOMER NEEDS TO SEE THEM.
I GET DECIDE TO DRIVE BY THERE.
I HAVEN'T DONE THE DRIVE BY LONG TIME.
THE SPACING THERE IS PRETTY TIGHT.
THERE'S NOT MUCH ROOM THAT'S A SMALL STREET.
THAT'S GOTTA BE, I MEAN, TRAFFIC WISE DURING THE DAY, I MEAN ALL THOSE BUSINESSES ARE UP AND RUNNING.
SO I DID DO A DRIVER ON LIKE EARLY IN THE MORNING.
'CAUSE I KNOW THAT'S WHEN, WHEN THE INDUSTRIAL USERS ARE DRIVING AGAIN, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF TUCKED AWAY FROM MAJOR STREETS LIKE MAIN STREET.
SO AGAIN, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY I TOOK THE PICTURES OF THE SURROUNDING AREA AND YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T REALLY FEEL A LOT OF TRAFFIC THE HOUR THAT I WAS THERE.
I WAS THERE SEVEN 30 IN THE MORNING.
BUT AGAIN, THIS IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT COMMERCIAL USED WITH A LOT OF CUSTOMER PARKING.
IT'S JUST THE VEHICLES AND THEIR EMPLOYEES THAT THEY PARK THEIR CARS AND DRIVE THE PHILIPP VEHICLE OUT.
YOU HAVE ANY OTHER CONCERNS? FINISH YOUR TIME.
HOW IS HE GONNA RUN THIS
AGAIN, I THINK THAT MIGHT BE WHERE THE MOBILE THING COMING IN HANDY.
HE RUNS HIS BUSINESS OFF OF A MOBILE APP THAT YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE ON THE CELL PHONE.
SO HE WAS SHOWING ME SOME OF THE CUSTOMER REQUESTS THAT HE RECEIVED.
SO AGAIN, IT'S ALL VALID QUESTIONS.
AGAIN, HE APOLOGIZES THAT HE COULD NOT REQUEST ADDITIONAL TIME BETWEEN THE PS MEETING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING OR THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING IS TWO WEEKS LATER.
THAT IS AN EXCELLENT QUESTION.
HE NEEDS TO HAVE A PLAN B FOR SOMEBODY BEING HIS STAFF PHYSICALLY.
I DON'T THINK HE'S THE ONLY MECHANIC.
HE'S GONNA HAVE A FLEET OF VEHICLES AND EMPLOYEES.
SO THIS IS JUST A ADMIN OFFICE WHERE THEY'LL HAVE, UH, POTENTIALLY WORK DONE.
SO TO ANSWER SOME OF YOUR QUESTION ON HIM STAYING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND JUST MAKING ALL KIND OF NOISE AND WHATEVER NUISANCE, UH, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, ANY MAJOR WORK WOULD BE TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP.
THIS IS PROBABLY GONNA BE EVEN MINOR REPAIRS THAT CAN BE DONE WITHIN A FEW HOURS.
AND THEN IF IT CAN'T BE DONE WITHIN A FEW HOURS, HAVE TO, SO I I TO IT TO, AS JOE MENTIONED, THE GAS STATION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THERE'S REALLY NO WAY TO ALERT THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE IT'S GONNA BE SPORADIC AS TO WHEN THAT'S GONNA TRANSPIRE.
SO THAT'S KIND OF, I SAID IT'S NO DIFFERENT THAN SOMEONE WHAT YOUR NEIGHBOR DOES ALREADY.
UM, ENCOURAGING YOU ALL TO THOROUGHLY DISCUSS THIS AMONGST YOURSELVES WHEN WE'RE OUT IN THE REGULAR MEETING TOO.
ANY CONCERNS YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT MM-HMM
THE APPLICATION? YEAH, I MEAN, I THINK IT'S A NICE VISIT AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S NEEDED, BUT I JUST WORRY ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BEING, BEING A NUISANCE, YOU KNOW, OR IT'S NOT BEING FAIR TO GET HOMEOWNERS SURROUNDING IT.
HONESTLY, HE COULD DO THAT NOW WITHOUT THIS LOCATION.
SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, HE COULD PROBABLY, HE PROBABLY HAS CUSTOMERS EVEN IN THE AREA THAT HE DRIVES UP TO NOW IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
IS THAT IN OUR PURVIEW THOUGH TOO FOR, YOU KNOW, WHOEVER HE'S GOING TO, YOU KNOW, DISPATCH TO, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT NO, NO, THIS IS SPECIFIC.
WE'RE LOOKING AT SUV SPECIFIC FOR THIS LOCATION.
IT'S THE ADMIN OFFICE LOCATION,
[00:15:01]
UM, WHERE HE DOES HIS BUSINESS IN THE MOBILE DESK.IT'S KIND OF LIKE A CONTRACTOR NEEDS THE AC CONTRACTOR.
WE'RE NOT REGULATING WHERE HE GOES AFTER THE FACT, JUST WHERE HE'S, HIS OFFICE IS LOCATED, LOCATED.
SO THAT KIND FIX MY HVAC THERE IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE ANYWAY, GO DOWN THE INSIDE.
BUT THERE ARE OTHER, UM, ORDINANCES IN PLACE THAT CAN ADDRESS CONCERNS LIKE NOISE.
IF IT GOES INTO THE SEWAGE SYSTEM, THAT SORT OF THING, THAT WOULD BE A GOOD CONCERN.
SO THERE, UH, THERE ARE OTHER ORDINANCES, YOU KNOW, IF, IF THEY'RE PARKED ILLEGALLY BLOCKING A ROADWAY THAT THEIR STATE STATUTES AND, AND ORDINANCE.
BUT HOW IS CODE COMPLIANCE GONNA MANAGE THAT IF IT, IT IS OFFITE JUST LIKE CODE COMPLIANCE DOES NOW THEY, THEY OPERATE IN RESPONSE TO ANY CITIZEN COMPLAINTS THAT MIGHT COME IN.
I'M WORKING AT THE CONCIERGE SERVICE, I THINK IS GREAT.
YOU KNOW, COME TO ME AND FIX IT, PLEASE.
YOU KNOW, BUT I, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE ADMINISTRATIVE PIECE.
I WOULD LIKE HIM AS THE OWNER OPERATOR TO BE ON PROPERTY TO ASSURE THE DAY TO DAY IS DONE, YOU KNOW, TO THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE CITY AND A BUSINESS OWNER THAT YOU BE BUSTED.
SO, AGAIN, I JUST ENCOURAGE YOU.
IF WE'RE GONNA DEBATE THE, THE MERIT OF THIS REQUEST, WE NEED TO DO THAT DURING THE OPEN MEETING RATHER THAN THE BRIEFING.
HE NEEDS TO HAVE SOME, SOME BODY PHYSICALLY IN PLACE IN CASE IT'S AN EMERGENCY.
HE CAN'T DO EVERYTHING ON THE PHONE, ON HIS CELL PHONE, BUT HE MIGHT HAVE PARTNERS.
AGAIN, YOU KNOW, WHEN HE CAME TO THE OFFICE TO SPEAK WITH ME, HE WAS NOT SOME YOUNG GENTLEMAN WHO WAS ACTIVELY WEARING MILITARY CLOTHES.
SO I GUESS HE HAS SOME KIND OF COMMITMENT THAT HE HAS REPORT.
SO IT SEEMS THIS IS HIS DAY JOB AND HE DOES HAVE THREE MECHANICS.
SO IT'S NOT JUST HIM DOING EVERYTHING.
HE'S THE ONLY MECHANIC GOING OUT.
SO AGAIN, AS FAR AS THE BUSINESS OPERATION AND HOW OFTEN HE HAS TO BE AWAY, I THINK IT'S, IT CAN BE RANGED, BUT IT'S JUST THAT HE COULD NOT REQUEST TIME OFF TO, FOR TODAY SOMEBODY HERE, I, I DID ENCOURAGE HIM TO, TO CONSIDER THAT AGAIN.
SO ITEM NUMBER THREE IS A JOAN CHAINS REQUEST FOR A GOODLAND RIVER VAN AREA.
SO, UM, THIS IS ACTUALLY A CONSIDERATION THAT WE, UM, MADE AND APPROVE THE PD ADOPTION.
WHAT THEY'RE COMING BACK IS TO EXPAND THE BOUNDARY THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY IN THE ETJ AREA, WHICH WE DID NOT HAVE A ZONING AUTHORITY.
SO AS THE ANNEXATION IS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN, THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CLEAN UP THE ZONING AND CHANGE THE BOUNDARY TO INCLUDE THE AREA THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY EXCLUDED.
AND I CAN, I'D BE HAPPY TO SHOW YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE BETTER IMAGE.
BUT THE, UH, BASICALLY THE REQUEST IS TO CREATE A PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT THAT WILL BE ALLOWED FOR MIXED RESIDENTIAL USE, COMMERCIAL USE, MIXED USE, AND OPEN SPACE USE OVER 197 ACRES.
SO THIS IS GENERAL PICTURE THAT KIND OF COMMUNICATES WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE SOUTH OF GRAND PRAIRIE.
UM, AS YOU PROBABLY REMEMBER, THIS IS THE LAKE SONG AREA.
THIS IS WHERE THE GOODLAND TOWN CENTER, THIS IS THE EXISTING PRAIRIE RIDGE AREA THAT IS STILL ACTIVELY UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR PHASE TEN THREE TWELVE.
THIS IS THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS PARK AREA.
THIS IS THE, UH, HOUSING AREA THAT'S, UM, AND AGAIN, THIS ORANGE LINE, I KNOW IT'S A LITTLE BIT HARDER TO SEE ON A SMALLER SCREEN, UM, IS THE BOUNDARY OF THE CURRENT PD.
AGAIN, THIS PORTION WAS LEFT OFF IN THE PREVIOUS ZONE CHANGE REQUEST BECAUSE THEY WERE STILL IN THE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMIT.
SO THIS RED LINE INDICATES THE ADDITIONAL ACRES THAT IS BEING, UH, REQUESTED TO BE ADDED TO THE CURRENT PD.
UM, SO AGAIN, THIS GENERALLY COMMUNICATES THEY HAVE A AREA THAT'S NEEDED FOR, UH, MIXED USE.
AND THE AREA THAT'S NEEDED IN IN YELLOW ARE FOR MIXED RESIDENTIAL.
THEY CAN HAVE DIFFERENT TYPE OF SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING AND THE OPEN SPACE AREA.
MAJORITY OF IT IS IN THE FLOOD PLAIN AND HAS TREES AND OTHER NATURAL ASPECT OF IT, THEY'RE KEEPING IT AS AN OPEN SPACE.
AGAIN, WE COVERED THIS KIND OF GENERALLY IN THE LAST REQUEST WHEN WE'RE CONSIDERING THE BOUNDARY.
THE WHITE BOUNDARY LINE SHOWS WHERE THE PREVIOUS PD BOUNDARIES ARE.
AGAIN, THE PORTIONS IN THE GREEN AND YELLOW ARE BEING ADDED.
THEY HAVE A MIXED RESIDENTIAL AREA THAT CAN HAVE SINGLE FAMILY TOWN HOMES, SINGLE FAMILY FLEX, AND THEY CAN, UM, ACTUALLY HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL NODES WITHIN THAT AREA.
AND THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A MIXED AREA, UH, MIXED USE CHARACTER AREA, WHICH CAN BE HORIZONTAL, VERTICAL, MIXED USE, INCLUDING RETAIL, RESTAURANT, AND CIVIC SERVICES AND OFFICES.
SO THESE ARE THE REPRESENTATION, ARCHITECTURAL REPRESENTATION OF WHAT THE FINAL PRODUCT CAN LOOK LIKE AND THESE MARGINAL, UH, IMAGES TO COMMUNICATE THE QUALITY OF DEVELOPMENT PURPOSE FOR THIS AREA.
SO THESE STUFF ANALYSIS, UM, DOES THE
[00:20:01]
PROPOSAL ADVANCE THE CITY'S VISION? UM, ONE OF THE CITIES, UM, SO THE MAJOR PLAN THAT'S APPLICABLE FOR THIS AREA IS ACTUALLY CALLED SOUTH GATE, UH, 360 CORRIDOR PLAN.UM, THEY ACTUALLY ENCOURAGES LEVERAGING THE FLOOD PLAIN AREA FOR OPEN SPACES OR, UH, HAVING SOME AMENITIES SUCH AS TRAILS AND, UM, OTHER FACILITIES.
UM, SO THIS IS THE CONCEPT PLAN THAT THEY AMENDED WITH THIS PROPOSAL.
WHAT YOU SEE IS THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING THESE, UM, KIND OF A MAGENTA PINKISH LINE THAT SAYS, HEY, WE'RE GONNA DESIGN OUR STREET NETWORK IN A CONSCIOUS WAY SO THAT THEY CAN CONNECT TO A PROPOSED TRAIL.
THERE'S A TRAIL PROPOSED, UH, BEING REVIEWED UNDER OUR PARKS DEVELOPMENT PLAN.
THEY'RE SAYING, HEY, WE'RE GONNA TRY TO MAKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT TO THE FUTURE PORTRAYALS.
ALSO, THE OTHER CITY COUNCIL GOAL IS TO SUSTAINABLE SINGLE FA FAMILY HOUSING OPTIONS.
UH, PROVING THIS ZONE CHANGE WILL SUPPORT THE GOAL BY ALLOWING DEVELOPMENT OF VARIETY OF SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING TYPES.
IS THIS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING THE ZONING IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AND WHICH IS PRIMARILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
AS YOU NOTED, IT'S SURROUNDED CURRENTLY BY THE EXISTING PRAIRIE RIDGE AREA.
IS THIS RELATABLE TO THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS? WE WOULD SAY YES.
IT'S, UM, CONSISTENT WITH THE OVERALL GOOD LAND MASTER PLANT COMMUNITY.
WE'VE BEEN SEEING PIECES AND PIECES COMING TOGETHER ONLY BECAUSE THEY ARE ACQUIRING THE LAND AS THEY PROGRESS.
SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE SEEING IT KIND OF MORE AS A LARGER PIECE AT A TIME.
AND, UM, WHAT OTHER DEVELOPMENT CHARACTERISTICS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED? THE APPLICANT IS ACTUALLY CONSTRUCTING THE RE UM, THE REQUIRED UTILITY EXTENSION AND ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS.
SO WHAT I, WHAT WE MEAN BY THAT IS, UM, SINCE THEY ARE FACING LAKEWAY DRIVE OR LAKERIDGE DRIVE, THEY WILL HAVE TO IMPROVE THE LAKERIDGE DRIVE TO BE ABLE, UM, SORRY, LAKEVIEW DRIVE TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THE INCREASED TRAFFIC.
AND AGAIN, UM, YOU KNOW, THEY FINISHED THE GOODLAND PARKWAY TO THE WEST OF IT, SO THEY CAN PROBABLY REROUTE SOME OF THOSE TRAFFIC CUTTING THROUGH THE, UH, 2 87 AND 360 ON THAT ROUTE AS WELL.
SO AGAIN, THEY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONSTRUCTING THE NECESSARY WATER WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURES.
AND, YOU KNOW, AS GOODLAND DEVELOPER IS CONSTRUCTING SOME OF THOSE IN CONJUNCTION WITH SOME OF OUR CITY'S CIP PROJECT, WHICH IS A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, UH, WE KNOW THAT THIS WILL BRING, UM, THE NECESSARY UTILITIES IN THE AREA.
THIS CONCLUDES THAT PRESENTATION.
UM, ANY QUESTION FOR STAFF AT THIS TIME? QUESTIONS TO MENTION ABOUT THANK YOU.
IT, IT APPEARS TO BE THAT IT'S JUST TO EXPAND.
SO IT, IS IT AFFECTING ANY OF ANY OTHER, UM, CITY RESIDENCE OR VISITORS ADVERSELY BECAUSE OF THIS ZONING REQUESTS OR NOT? RIGHT.
SO THAT'S A EXCELLENT QUESTION.
WHAT YOU CAN KIND OF SEE IS THERE DIRECTLY NORTH OF PRAIRIE RIDGE PHASE ONE.
SO AGAIN, THE PRAIRIE RIDGE PHASE ONE IS ALSO PART OF PROVIDENCE PRODUCT.
SO I THINK THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING PATTERN.
I THINK WHAT IT WILL ULTIMATELY HELP IS BECAUSE THEY NEEDED MORE ROADWAYS.
THEY FINISHED THE GOODLAND PARKWAY TO THE WEST, AND THEY WILL BE NEEDING TO EXPAND THE UTILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE OVERALL BECAUSE AS THE AREA GROWS, THEY NEED TO PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES TO THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE OCCUPYING.
I JUST WANNA SAY I DID ANOTHER DRIVE BY
I HAD, IT'S ONLY 20 MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE.
THIS IS REALLY SOMETHING THE CITY OH YEAH.
ON THE, THE ROAD LEADING TO THE COMMUNITY, THE TREES AND THE SHRUBBERY IS EXCELLENT.
I MEAN, I HAD SEEN IT, BUT, AND IT'S MORE LIKE PRAIRIE.
IT'S, IT'S MORE FITS TO THE NATURE OF THE COMMUNITY AND IT'S REALLY, REALLY NICE.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS GONNA SEE WHEN I, I BELIEVE RASHAD DOES A REGULAR DRIVING.
MAYBE YOU GUYS WILL CROSS PATH, BUT IT WAS REALLY, REALLY NICE.
THE ONLY CONCERN I HAVE IS, UH, LIKE A CONDITIONER GOES ALL SAID, WHAT ABOUT ALL THESE NEW HOMES? THE GRID AND, AND MAKING SURE THEY HAVE ENOUGH WATER AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
MAKING SURE ALL THOSE THINGS, YOU KNOW, HAPPEN, YOU KNOW, AND NOT AFFECTING THE OTHER S MM-HMM
SO WE'RE TAKING CARE OF ALL THAT AS WE GO.
AND WE'VE GOT THE, UH, UM, RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DEVELOPER.
SO THEY, AS YOU MENTIONED, THAT DEVELOPED THIS OF COURSE TO OUR, UH,
SO THEY WAS USED AS A GUIDELINE AND WE JUST PIECE MILLING AS WE GO.
BUT WE GOT THE WATER TOWER IN, UH, OTHER UTILITIES UNIT ON THE ROAD FOR THE BOULEVARD.
THAT'S THE NEW ROAD THAT'S DOWN THERE.
UH, SO, UM, WE ARE PREPARING FOR THIS AREA TO EVENTUALLY BE 30, 40, EVEN 50,000 PEOPLE.
SO, UM, DEVELOPING A CITY WITHIN THE CITY IN ESSENCE.
[00:25:01]
OFF TO Y'ALL BECAUSE THIS IS, THIS IS STATE OF THE ART.I, I SAID IF I WASN'T GONNA MOVE AGAIN, I'M NOT MOVING AGAIN, BUT IF I DID, BUT THAT'S, IT IS REALLY, REALLY, I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING.
AND I DO LIKE, AGAIN, HANDS OFF TO Y'ALL ABOUT THIS IN DIALYSIS.
IT JUST TAKES A WHILE TO GUESS WORK OUT.
AND THEN, UH, WE DON'T HAVE TO MISCON CONSTRUCTION.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR? ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT.
MA'AM, WE HAVE ONE MORE ITEM ON THE AGENDA FOR BRIEFING.
UM, IT'S LISTED AS CONSIDER OR UPCOMING ELECTIONS OF OFFICERS.
WHERE IS THAT? I DON'T SEE THAT.
IT'S RIGHT UNDER AGENDA REVIEW RIGHT BEFORE THE BREAK LINE ON THE AGENDA PAGE AND ON BRIEFING.
AND THIS IS JUST AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT WE WILL BE DOING, UH, ELECTIONS OF OFFICERS AT THE FIRST MEETING IN AUGUST.
IT'S LISTED ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT FOR BRIEFING ONLY, MA'AM.
DO Y'ALL WANNA TRY FOR 6 35 OR SIX 40? WHAT DO Y'ALL WANT? 6 35 RECONVENE.
