(Staff Contact: Lidon Pearce, Principal Planner)]

HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL FOR AN ORDINANCE FOR A ZONING CHANGE REQUEST FROM C COMMERCIAL AND A AGRICULTURAL TO PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT UTILIZING APPENDIX C, ARTICLE EIGHT OR ARTICLE SEVEN BUSINESS PARK DESIGN STANDARDS.

STAFF PRESENTERS LIDON PEARCE.

GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU. CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS.

AS YOU MENTIONED, THIS IS A ZONING CHANGE REQUEST FOR 3162 SOUTH BURLESON.

THE APPLICANT IS ROB ORR AND SPECIFICALLY BURLESON HIGH POINT INVESTMENTS.

AND AS YOU MENTIONED, THIS IS A REQUEST TO REZONE FROM C COMMERCIAL AND A AGRICULTURAL TO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

YOU'LL SEE THE SUBJECT PARCELS LISTED IN A THE NEON BLUE COLOR THERE.

SO ON THE FIRST THE COMP PLAN PART OF THIS IS IN THE EMPLOYMENT GROWTH CENTER.

AND THE REST CLOSER TO CONVEYOR DRIVE IS IN THE REGIONAL OFFICE AND COMMERCIAL.

AND THEN FOR THE ZONING THE MAJORITY OF THE LAND IS ZONED AG.

BUT YOU DO HAVE ONE PARCEL ON THE FRONTAGE OF SOUTH BURLESON THAT IS ZONED COMMERCIAL CURRENTLY.

SO I'M JUST GOING TO KIND OF JUMP THROUGH A FEW THINGS.

THE BASIC PREMISE OF THE PD ZONING IS THIS PROPERTY IS ADJACENT TO THE BUSINESS PARK OVERLAY.

MODIFYING THE BOUNDARIES OF OVERLAY IS A MUCH CUMBERSOME PROCESS.

SO THEY'VE REQUESTED TO REZONE, AND WE'VE ESSENTIALLY APPLIED ALL THOSE RESTRICTIONS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN OUR BUSINESS PARK TO THIS PARCEL VA PLAN DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE. PART OF THOSE ELEVATIONS ARE IN THE ORDINANCE JUST SHOWING YOU SOME ACCEPTABLE ELEVATION EXAMPLES AND SOME THINGS THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED UNACCEPTABLE. SO IF THIS DEVELOPED IN A STRAIGHT INDUSTRIAL OR STRAIGHT COMMERCIAL, YOU COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE THE BUILDINGS THERE ON THE RIGHT.

BUT BECAUSE IT'S IN THE PD, IT SHOULD LOOK MORE IN LINE WITH SOMETHING YOU SEE THERE ON THE LEFT.

THESE PD REGULATIONS, WE ESSENTIALLY DIDN'T ADD ANYTHING ADDITIONAL.

WE TOOK OUR EXISTING BUSINESS PARK DESIGN OVERLAY, WHICH HAS RESTRICTIONS ON THE USE, AND THEN WE TOOK THE BUSINESS PARK DESIGN STANDARDS, WHICH HAS RESTRICTIONS ON HOW THE SITE WILL BE DEVELOPED.

SO WHAT THIS DOES FOR ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS AND THE PARCEL IS IT PROHIBITS SOME USES THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE BEEN ALLOWED IN A BASE ZONING DISTRICT, SUCH AS LIKE TIRE RETREADING, SALVAGE YARDS, YOU KNOW, LIME PLANTS, SAND OR GRAVEL EXTRACTION, SEWAGE PLANTS, A SEXUALLY ORIENTED BUSINESSES.

SO THE BUSINESS PARK OVERLAY THAT THIS PD CODIFIES RESTRICTS THOSE USES.

AND THERE'S SOME OTHER USES IF YOU LOOK IN YOUR ORDINANCE, YOU'LL SEE THERE'S QUITE A LONG LIST.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO BORE YOU GUYS TO DEATH READING ALL THOSE OUT.

BUT THESE ARE SOME OF THE THE HIGHLIGHTS.

THESE TYPE OF USES ARE RESTRICTED.

WE SENT OUT NOTICES TO ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS.

SO THAT'S WHAT THIS SLIDE IS SHOWING THAT ANYBODY WITHIN 300FT OF THIS PROPERTY LINE WOULD HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER.

I ALSO POSTED A PROPERTY NOTICE SIGN ON 30 THE SERVICE ROAD, AND THEN WE PUBLISHED THIS IN THE NEWSPAPER.

[00:05:08]

JUST A POINT OF CLARIFICATION.

THE APPLICANT IS PRESENT, I WILL SAY THAT THIS IS JUST THE ENTITLEMENT PHASE.

SO THEY DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC USER OR CLIENT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S IN MIND.

THEY'RE JUST GETTING ENTITLEMENT.

SO WE WON'T KNOW MORE AS FAR AS DETAILS OF WHAT TENANT WOULD BUILD THERE UNTIL WE GET A SITE PLAN.

BUT HE IS HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF HIM AND I'M ALSO HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME OR STAFF.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANKS, LAUREN. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:05.

DOES ANYONE FROM THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? OKAY, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO THE COMMISSION.

NOBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, AND I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

IS THERE A MOTION? MOTION TO APPROVE CASE 24-129.

I'LL SECOND.

I HAVE A MOTION BY DAVID, A SECOND BY COBI.

ALL IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND.

PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

ALL RIGHT. THERE ARE NO REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS, NO COMMUNITY INTEREST ITEMS, NO EXECUTIVE SESSION SO I'LL ADJOURN THE MEETING AT 6:07 P.M..
