Aug 27, 2024 Planning & Zoning Commission

[00:00:01]

ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

[1.CALL TO ORDER]

PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING INTO ORDER.

FIRST ITEM WILL BE THE INVOCATION.

DAVID, CAN YOU LEAD US, PLEASE, SIR? FATHER, WE'RE THANKFUL FOR YOUR PRESENCE HERE TONIGHT.

AND, LORD, WE PRAY THAT IT WILL BE MINDFUL OF IT AS WE CAN DISCERN THE ISSUES THAT ARE BEFORE US TONIGHT.

WE'RE THANKFUL FOR THE LITTLE BIT OF BREAK IN THE WEATHER AND THE COMING BREAK AND THE RAIN THAT HOPEFULLY WILL COME THIS WEEKEND.

AND WE PRAY THAT YOU'LL BLESS AND REPLENISH THE EARTH WITH YOUR BLESSINGS.

THANK YOU, FATHER, FOR YOUR NAME WE PRAY.

AMEN. PLEASE JOIN ME FOR THE PLEDGE.

ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON TO ITEM TWO CITIZEN APPEARANCES.

THIS IS THE TIME FOR ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE TO COME SPEAK ON ANYTHING THAT IS NOT LISTED IN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SO I'LL OPEN IT UP IF ANYONE FROM THE AUDIENCE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK.

SEEING NONE, WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA.

[3.CONSENT AGENDA]

UNLESS SOMEONE FROM THE AUDIENCE, COMMISSION OR STAFF WOULD LIKE TO PULL AN ITEM.

OTHERWISE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

I MOTION TO APPROVE.

SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION BY ASHLEY.

A SECOND BY MICHAEL.

ALL IN FAVOR? RAISE YOUR HAND.

PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

ALL RIGHT. AT THIS TIME, THE COMMISSION WILL CONVENE INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY.

[8.EXECUTIVE SESSION]

ALL RIGHT. IT IS 6:16 P.M..

COMMISSION WILL NOW RECONVENE.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM FOUR A, THIS IS 201 SOUTH HEARST, CASE 24-207.

[4.A.201 S Hurst (Case 24-207): Hold a public hearing and consider a recommendation of approval for an ordinance for a zoning change request from “SF10” Single-family dwelling district 10 and “A” Agricultural to “PD”, Planned Development to allow for an existing school (Centennial High School) and the colocation of an antenna on a stadium light pole. (Staff Contact: Lidon Pearce, Principal Planner)]

STAFF. PRESENTERS. LIDON PEARCE.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING.

THANK YOU. CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS.

AS AH CHAIR MENTIONED, THIS IS A ZONE CHANGE REQUEST FROM SINGLE FAMILY AND AGRICULTURAL ZONING.

SO THE PROPERTY HAS A SPLIT ZONING ON IT TO REZONE AS A PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

THIS WOULD ALLOW FOR THE PRIMARY USE OF A SCHOOL AND IT'S, YOU KNOW ANCILLARY FUNCTIONS AS A SCHOOL, AND THEN ALSO ALLOWS FOR A CO-LOCATION OF A ANTENNA ON A STADIUM LIGHT POLE.

THE REASON THIS IS COMING AS A ZONING CHANGE IS BECAUSE OUR CODE DOESN'T ALLOW BY RIGHT ANTENNAS IN THE AG ZONING, AND THERE'S ALSO A SETBACK REQUIREMENT FROM SINGLE FAMILY ZONING.

SO THE SCHOOL HAVING THE SPLIT ZONING, IT NECESSITATED IT TO BE REZONED.

IT IS IN A FLOODPLAIN IN NEIGHBORHOODS.

ZONING ON THE COMP MAP.

AND THEN YOU'LL SEE ON THAT ONE ON THE RIGHT, YOU KIND OF SEE WHERE IT SPLIT.

THE LIGHT GREEN IS SINGLE FAMILY TEN, AND THE DARK GREEN IS THE JUST THE KIND OF DEFAULTED AG ZONING.

SO THE PD IS IT'S PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD ONE.

ESSENTIALLY IT GIVES A BASE ZONING DISTRICT OF NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICE.

THE PRIMARY USE IS A SCHOOL WHICH IS ALREADY DEVELOPED.

AND THEN IT ALLOWS FOR THE CO-LOCATION OF ONE CELL TOWER WITH A STADIUM LIGHT POLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ORDINANCE SITE EXHIBIT.

SO THIS PD HAS STANDARDS THAT THEY HAVE TO ADHERE TO, BUT THE STANDARDS ARE ALREADY MET.

WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO PUT IT.

SO BUT WE PUT THESE IN HERE JUST EXTRA PROTECTION IN CASE THERE'S A LAST MINUTE CHANGE TO MOVE IT TO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

SO THEY HAVE TO MEET THE 2 TO 1 HEIGHT SETBACK RATIO FROM RESIDENTIAL 200FT, ESSENTIALLY THE FALL ZONE WHICH THEY MEET AT THIS SITE.

ONLY ONE CELL ANTENNA IS ALLOWED, AND THE HEIGHT CANNOT EXCEED 100FT, AND THE STADIUM LIGHTING IS ANTICIPATED TO BE REPLACED BACK AT THE EXISTING HEIGHT THAT IT IS NOW, SO THAT IT'S UNIFORM WITH THE OTHER LIGHTS.

WE. I CAN IMAGINE YOU'RE PLAYING FOOTBALL.

YOU DON'T WANT ONE LIGHT THAT'S, YOU KNOW, 20FT HIGHER OR LOWER THAN THE OTHERS FOR A NIGHT GAME.

SO, THIS IS KIND OF THE SITE PLAN THAT'S IN THE PD ORDINANCE.

YOU CAN SEE ON THE RIGHT THERE'S THE STAR AND THEN ON THE LEFT THAT'S KIND OF SHOWING THE LOCATION.

SO THAT IS THE FOOTBALL STADIUM FILLED WITH TRACK.

IT'S OVER 1000FT FROM THE SCHOOL PROPER.

JUST FOR KIND OF CONTEXT OF WHERE THAT IS.

IN RELATION TO THE ACTUAL SCHOOL CLASSROOMS AND FACILITIES.

[00:05:02]

SO THIS IS KIND OF FOX LANE.

THIS IS THE CLOSEST YOU WOULD PROBABLY BE ABLE TO SEE.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHT POLES THERE AT THERE.

SO IF YOU CAN IMAGINE ABOUT 20FT MORE IN HEIGHT FOR THE ONE.

SO THERE IS SOME TREES AND WHATNOT THERE.

SO IT'S NOT FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.

IT'S NOT SUPER IMPOSING AS OPPOSED TO IF THERE WAS NOTHING THERE OR IF IT WAS CLOSER TO THE ROAD.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE STAR, THAT'S WHERE THAT VIEW IS TAKEN FROM.

WE DID NOTICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE LAW, WE PUBLISHED IN THE NEWSPAPER.

AND THEN I POSTED A SIGN ON THE PROPERTY AT THE ENTRANCE SO THAT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF WHEN SCHOOLS OR BUSSES CAME IN, EVERYONE COULD SEE IT.

AND AT THIS TIME WE RECEIVED NO FORMAL OPPOSITIONS.

WE'VE HAD A COUPLE PHONE CALLS, JUST PEOPLE CURIOUS OF WHAT CO-LOCATION MEN ARE.

EXACTLY WHAT HOW THAT WOULD LOOK.

SO ESSENTIALLY THE LIGHT POLE, THE STADIUM POLE WILL BE REMOVED AND A NEW POLE WILL BE PUT UP.

AT THE PROPOSED 100FT, IF APPROVED, AND THEN THEY WOULD PUT THE LIGHTS BACK AT THE SAME HEIGHT THAT THEY CURRENTLY ARE.

SO THAT IS THE PROPOSAL FOR THAT PORTION OF THE PD ZONING.

IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY ESSENTIALLY HAVE TO GET A LEASE.

THE SCHOOL HAS A LEASE AGREEMENT WITH THE CELL TOWER.

THEY'VE GIVEN THEM A LEASE WITH MY UNDERSTANDING IS 100FT.

SO THAT KIND OF, YOU KNOW, IS IN LINE WITH WHAT THEY'VE PROPOSED IN THE ZONING.

BASED OFF THE PROPOSAL MEETING OUR CURRENT ANTENNA STANDARDS THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE AND OUR ANTENNA SECTIONS OF THE CODE, AS FAR AS THE HEIGHT SETBACKS, THE NUMBER OF TOWERS. AND BASED OFF THE USE OF THE SCHOOL AND IT PRIMARILY BEING DEVELOPED AND THE SCHOOL BEING THE APPLICANT FOR THIS AND SUPPORTING THIS STAFF IS MAKING A BREAKING RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL OF THE ORDINANCE, FOR A ZONING CHANGE, TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT FOR THE SCHOOL AND THE TOWER.

I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

WE ALSO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

IF THERE WAS ANY QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE THAT THE APPLICANT FOR THE PD ZONING TYPE QUESTIONS, IF YOU HAVE ANY.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANKS. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:21 P.M.

AND ASK IF ANYONE FROM THE AUDIENCE WOULD LIKE TO COME SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.

IF NOT, THEN I'LL TURN IT OVER TO THE COMMISSION FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.

ALL RIGHT. IF THERE ARE NONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 621 AND ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

MOTION TO APPROVE CASE 24-207.

I WILL SECOND.

ALL RIGHT. HAVE A MOTION BY DAVID.

A SECOND BY ASHLEY. ALL IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HANDS.

PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO ITEM FOUR.

B 216 WEST ELDRIDGE, ELDRIDGE STREET, CASE 24210.

[4.B.216 W Eldred Street (Case 24-210): Hold a public hearing and consider a recommendation of approval for an ordinance for a zoning change request from “SF7” Single-family dwelling district-7 to “CC” Central Commercial district for all of Lot 6, Block 30; Original Town of Burleson Addition. (Staff Contact: Emilio Sanchez, Development Services Assistant Director)]

ORIGINAL TOWN OF BURLESON ADDITION.

STAFF. PRESENTERS.

LIDON PEARCE. YEAH.

SO, ONE CORRECTION OF STAFF REPORT.

EMILIO SANCHEZ.

I WAS FEELING UNDER THE WEATHER, SO I'M GOING TO COVER THIS CASE FOR HIM.

I WAS NOT THE PLANNER THAT DID THE HARD LIFTING ON THIS, BUT I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS AND PRESENT IT FAIRLY.

SO THIS LOCATION YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN, THEY HAVE REQUESTED TO REZONE THIS FROM A SINGLE FAMILY, SEVEN TO CENTRAL COMMERCIAL.

CENTRAL COMMERCIAL IS OUR ESSENTIALLY KIND OF LIKE OUR.

THAT'S WHAT THE NEW BUILDINGS ARE ESSENTIALLY ARE ZONED OVER HERE IN OLD TOWN.

PROFESSIONAL TYPE OFFICE USES NOT YOUR HEAVY COMMERCIAL USES, NOT YOUR HEAVY TRAFFIC.

THEY'RE MORE LIGHT.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND OFFICE TYPE USES.

YOU'LL SEE THE COMP PLAN.

SO IT IS IN THE OLD TOWN OVERLAY AND THE OLD TOWN DESIGNATION OF THE COMP PLAN.

CURRENT ZONING IS SINGLE FAMILY SEVEN.

THE ZONING TO THE ADJACENT TO THE NORTH YOU SEE THERE.

IT'S GOT THE SIMILAR ZONING FOR COMMERCIAL LIGHT TYPE, OLD TOWN APPROPRIATE USES.

AND THEN THIS BLOCK THAT THIS IS CURRENTLY ON STILL HAS SOME SINGLE FAMILY SEVEN USES AND YOU HAVE A COUPLE EMPTY LOTS.

SO KIND OF AS YOU SEE IN A LOT OF OLD TOWNS IN A KIND OF TRANSITION OF SOME REDEVELOPMENT AS IT MOVES AND EXPANDS IN THE AREA.

SO WE DID NOTICE THIS AND PLACE A SIGN ON THE PROPERTY.

AT THIS TIME, I HAVE RECEIVED NO OPPOSITION AND AS OF LUNCH TIME, MR. SANCHEZ HAD RECEIVED NO OPPOSITION EITHER.

WE'VE RECEIVED NO LETTERS OF FORMAL OPPOSITION ON THIS.

STAFF LOOKED AT THE ZONING USE IN OUR COMP PLAN.

SO I WILL TELL YOU THAT THIS IS JUST ENTITLEMENT OF THE LAND.

IT'S JUST A ZONING.

THEY'LL STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH ANY RE PLATS.

THEY'LL STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE SITE PLAN PROCESS.

THEY'LL HAVE TO PRESENT A DEVELOPMENT PLAN MAKING ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS OF OLD TOWN TO OUR OLD TOWN REVIEW BOARD.

SO THIS IS JUST ENTITLEMENT BASED ENTITLEMENT BASED ON IT MEETING THE COMP PLAN THAT ALLOWS THIS TYPE OF USE IN OLD TOWN.

[00:10:07]

JUST PLEASE BE AWARE THEY HAVE NOT SUBMITTED.

WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN INTO THE DETAILS OF WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE.

THIS IS JUST THEIR FIRST STEP.

ONCE THEY IF THEY'RE GRANTED THE ZONING, THEY'LL HAVE TO GET INTO THE DETAILS.

THEY'LL HAVE TO MEET OUR OLD TOWN CODES, THOSE OLD TOWN STANDARDS.

IT IS A NEW DEVELOPMENT.

THEY'LL HAVE TO COMPLY WITH ONE OF THE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS.

IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE MANY OF THE MAGNOLIA OFFICES, SHIPMAN TYPE BUILDINGS THAT YOU SEE DOWN HERE.

THE ONE RIGHT ACROSS KIND OF FROM OUR OFFICES.

YOU CAN EVEN SEE THIS, YOU KNOW, HAS THE SAME KIND OF INSTEAD OF SHIPMENT, IT SAYS SHEELER.

SO SAME KIND OF ESTHETICS IS WHAT THEY'RE INITIALLY PROPOSING.

BUT THAT'S NOT THEY JUST PROVIDED THIS FOR YOUR KIND OF CONCEPTUAL CONCEPT.

THEY'LL STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE OFFICIAL PROCESS.

I AM HERE AS WELL AS THE PROPERTY OWNER.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE ZONING OF THE PROPERTY.

I'LL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER THEM.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS A LOT.

WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:25.

DOES ANYONE FROM THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK? COMMISSION. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.

YEAH, I JUST GOT A COUPLE GENERAL QUESTIONS.

THE ALLEY THAT'S IN THE BACK, I KNOW, ACROSS THE RAILROAD TRACKS OVER THERE, CLOSE TO DOBSON, THAT THE CITY ALLOWED THE HOMEOWNERS OR PROPERTY OWNERS TO ABSORB THAT.

IS THAT EVEN GOING TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ALLEY? IT'S NOT CONSIDERED AT THE ZONING ENTITLEMENT.

SO THE ZONING IS GOING TO REZONE THE WHOLE PARCEL AS THEY GIVE US THE METES AND BOUNDS, EFFECTIVELY.

THAT'S WHAT WE NOTICE.

AND THEN AS THEY GO THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SUBMIT ALL THEIR PLANS.

THAT'S WHEN THOSE THINGS MAY BE NOTIFIED WHERE IF THE ALLEY AMENDMENT HAS TO OCCUR ON THEIR PORTION, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN'T ABSORB SOMEONE ELSE, YOU KNOW, ON THE OTHER, THE OTHER SIDE. SO IF A THIS ISN'T REALLY A CONSIDERATION FOR THE ZONING, BUT IF AN ALLEY IS ABANDONED AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S 20FT, TYPICALLY TEN FEET GOES TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS ON THIS SIDE. TEN FEET GOES ON THE OTHER SIDE, UNLESS THEY MAKE SOME KIND OF PRIVATE DEAL TO PURCHASE ALL OF IT.

BUT AT THIS POINT, WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN INTO THOSE REVIEWS BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THOSE SUBMITTALS.

IT'S JUST THIS IS JUST THEIR ZONING TO SEE IF THEY CAN EVEN SPEND THE MONEY TO START MAKING THOSE NEXT STEPS.

YEAH, IT'S A NICE, PAVED ALLEYWAY.

AND IT JUST BROUGHT UP QUESTIONS LIKE BEHIND HIM AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

THEY ALLOWED THEM TO ABSORB IT AS FAR AS DELIVERY AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS GOING TO BE THE SAME TYPE OF SETUP FOR THE CITY TO DO.

WELL, THIS WOULD BE IT WOULD BE PRIVATE.

YOU KNOW, IF THEY IF THEY DID, YOU KNOW, DO THAT AND THEN THEY WOULD STILL HAVE TO MEET ALL OF OUR CODES AS FAR AS HOW THEY DESIGNED, HOW THEY LOOKED, MEET THE LANDSCAPING, ALL THAT. BUT YEAH, WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO THAT STEP IN THE PROCESS YET.

YOU KNOW, THE HINES AND THIS PROJECT OVER HERE, THAT KIND OF ALL CAME AT ONE.

SO YOU GOT SITE PLANS, YOU GOT PLATS, EVERYTHING.

THIS IS KIND OF COMING MORE TRADITIONALLY ZONING FIRST, AND THEN THE NEXT SUBMITTAL WILL COME IN THE NEXT SUBMITTAL.

SO BUT YEAH, ANYTHING THEY DO WILL HAVE TO MEET CITY STANDARDS SO THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'LL DEFINITELY MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, NOBODY IS NOT FOLLOWING ANY RULES OR REGULATIONS.

YEAH, I THINK I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT BUILDING.

RIGHT NOW IT'S A DIRT LOT WITH SOME GRASS ON IT.

AND SO IT'S NOT BRINGING IN ANY TAX REVENUE TO THE CITY, BUT I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE WELL NEEDED.

I THINK IT'LL HELP EXPAND THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

THANKS. YES, SIR.

CAN I SAY SOMETHING? IF YOU WANT TO COME UP AND STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS, AND THEN AFTER YOU'RE DONE, YOU'LL NEED TO FILL OUT A SPEAKER CARD.

BUT. YES.

YOU CAN.

YOU CAN DO IT AFTER YOU, AFTER YOU SPEAK.

OKAY. PERFECT. MY NAME IS HOLLY STEPHENS.

I LIVE AT 213 WEST ELDRIDGE.

WE OWN THE HOME.

HAVE FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

IT'S A FAMILY HOME.

MY CONCERN IS.

AND I MET THE OWNER.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INTRODUCING YOURSELF.

HE WAS VERY KIND.

MY CONCERN IS THE TRAFFIC MAINLY.

WE ALWAYS. WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE ALREADY USING THAT STREET TO KIND OF JET DOWN TO TARRANT, KIND OF AS A CUT THROUGH SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH RENFRO OR WOULD THE CITY THINK ABOUT STOP SIGNS OR CURBS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT TO KIND OF PROTECT THE PEOPLE THAT REALLY AREN'T BUSINESSES THAT STILL LIVE THERE? I CAN SO THIS IS AT THIS PHASE IS JUST ENTITLEMENT OF THE ZONING.

SO WHEN THEY GO THROUGH THE OTHER SUBMITTALS, YOU KNOW, THERE IS TRIGGERS FOR THEY DO A TRAFFIC GENERATION MEMO AND IT COULD POTENTIALLY TRIGGER BASED OFF THE COUNTS AND THE USE.

IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THESE ARE GOING TO BE PROBABLY PRETTY LOW INTENSITY USES.

AND THE WAY IT'S ORIENTED, I THINK MOST OF YOUR TRAFFIC IS GOING TO STAY, YOU KNOW, AWAY FROM YOUR DRIVEWAY, POTENTIALLY.

[00:15:05]

BUT THEY WILL AS THEY GO THROUGH THOSE SITE PLAN SUBMITTALS AND THE CIVIL SUBMITTALS.

THAT'S WHEN WE START TO GET SOME OF THOSE DETAILS.

AND HYPOTHETICALLY, LET'S SAY IT WAS A TEN FOOT TALL APARTMENT.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE IT WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED BY THE ZONING, BUT IF IT WAS AND IT TRIGGERED A TIA, THEN THAT'S WHEN THEY HAVE TO START GOING AND PUTTING IN SOME OF THOSE THINGS.

I THINK OUR MAIN REASON FOR COMING WAS TO KIND OF JUST VOICE THESE THINGS INSTEAD OF NOT SEEING ANYTHING, JUST SO IT WAS KIND OF ON RECORD.

NOT THAT WE'RE TOTALLY AGAINST IT.

WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT OUR PROPERTY IS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION ALSO, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE WE LIVE.

I UNDERSTAND. AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO THEIR SCREENING REQUIREMENTS AND LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS.

SO, THEY'RE THE MORE INTENSE USE.

SO THEY WILL WHEN THEY DO A SITE PLAN HAVE TO FOLLOW OUR ORDINANCES.

SO THAT IS ALL IN PLACE TO PROTECT THE LESS INTENSE PREVIOUSLY EXISTING USE.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

I'LL FILL THOSE OUT.

CHAIRMAN TUNE, IF I MAY.

MA'AM AND, SIR AS REDEVELOPMENT OCCURS HERE IN THE OLD TOWN AREA, I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE COUNCIL IS VERY AWARE OF THE IMPACTS, AND THEY'RE REALLY INTERESTED IN MAKING SURE WE PRESERVE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS, MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE VERY COMPETENT IN HOW WE LOOK AT SPEED LIMITS, STOP SIGNS, PEDESTRIAN SAFETY.

SO I CAN TELL YOU THAT THAT'S ABSOLUTELY SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT.

JUST OLD TOWN WIDE, NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, JUST THIS ONE SITE, BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP A CONTINUOUSLY KEEP A SAFE PLACE FOR INDIVIDUALS AT HOME, OWN PROPERTY HERE IN OLD TOWN.

TO GET UP HERE, AS LONG AS THE PUBLIC HEARING IS STILL OPEN, YOU'LL HAVE TO FILL OUT A SPEAKER CARD.

SAY YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.

AND SO AND I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU MY CONTACT AFTER THIS IF YOU HAVE MORE, MORE QUESTIONS.

A LOT OF THIS WE WON'T BE ABLE TO ANSWER BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T DONE A SITE PLAN SUBMITTAL YET.

IT'S JUST AN ENTITLEMENT.

YES. THIS IS JAMES STEPHENS, 213 WEST ELDRIDGE.

AND ONE OF MY CONCERNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE PARKING OVER AT THE NEW BUILDING.

OUR DRIVEWAY IS IN FRONT.

WE DON'T HAVE A DRIVEWAY TO THE SIDE ANYWAY.

SO, OUR DRIVEWAY IS IN THE FRONT.

PEOPLE PARKING IN OUR DRIVEWAY, SIR.

SO. YES, SO WE DO.

THE CITY DOES HAVE 311.

AND IT DOES HAVE AVENUES TO CORRECT THAT, WHETHER IT BE CODE ENFORCEMENT OR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR, YOU KNOW, YOUR PRIVATE PROPERTY.

AGAIN, WHEN WE DO THE SITE PLAN, YOU KNOW, THE SITE WILL BE LOOKED AT, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS VISIBILITY FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO GET IN AND OUT.

BUT THERE ARE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES IN PLACE IN OUR CODE OF ORDINANCES FOR TO ADDRESS THOSE TYPE OF SITUATIONS.

I CAN'T PREDICT WHAT A BAD CITIZEN MAY OR MAY NOT DO, BUT WE DO HAVE THINGS THAT I'LL GIVE YOU MY CARD AND WE'LL MAKE SURE YOU GET.

YOU CAN EMAIL ME. WE'LL GIVE YOU YOUR CONTACTS FOR PD OR CODE ENFORCEMENT.

IF YOU HAVE THOSE TYPE OF ISSUES WE CAN ADDRESS THEM.

OKAY. THAT'S GOOD.

I THINK THAT'S ALL I CAN THINK OF RIGHT NOW.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

DOES ANYONE ELSE ON THE COMMISSION HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CONCERNS? JUST KIND OF A QUESTION OR A THOUGHT.

SO? SO IN LINE WITH HIS QUESTION ABOUT SORT OF PEOPLE PARKING IN HIS YARD.

I MEAN, AGAIN, YOU SAID YOU'D PROVIDE POLICE, BUT THAT WOULD BE A CODE ENFORCEMENT OR A POLICE ISSUE.

AND BASICALLY, THE POLICE SHOULD BE ABLE TO COME OUT.

I MEAN, BECAUSE I'M SURE THAT IS AN ISSUE.

I MEAN, IT'S GOING TO BE MORE AND MORE OF AN ISSUE.

OLD TOWN KEEPS GROWING AND DEVELOPING, WHICH IS GOOD FOR BURLESON BUT KIND OF HARD FOR YOUR PERSONAL SPOT AND THEN.

BUT BUT IT'S NOT OKAY FOR PEOPLE TO BE PARKING IN YOUR YARD.

YOU KNOW, AND BLOCKING YOUR DRIVEWAY.

AND I WOULD THINK THAT CODE ENFORCEMENT OR THE POLICE.

WOULD BE ABLE TO BASICALLY SEND OUT A TOW TRUCK, I MEAN, OR EVEN, I DON'T KNOW, OF SOME VERSION THERE IN OR SOMETHING BECAUSE I MEAN, THERE'S GOT TO BE AN ANSWER FOR THAT WHETHER THIS BUSINESS.

IS PUT HERE OR NOT.

I DON'T THINK THIS BUSINESS IS ACTUALLY GOING TO WHAT IF AND WHEN THEY PUT.

ANYTHING THERE THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE PROBLEM.

THE PROBLEM IS THE PEOPLE THREE BLOCKS AWAY THAT ARE.

GOING TO THE RESTAURANTS AND OUR SUMMER, YOU KNOW, MUSIC THING AND STUFF AND DECIDE, WELL, LET ME JUST PARK RIGHT HERE IN THIS GUY'S DRIVEWAY.

RIGHT. AND SO I WOULD THINK THAT WOULD BE AN ISSUE, AGAIN, FOR THE POLICE TO HAVE THAT PERSON TICKETED.

HAVE THAT PERSON EVEN TOWED, PERHAPS.

AND I WOULD EXPECT WE HAVE SOMETHING IN PLACE ALONG THOSE LINES.

YES. SO THERE ARE STATE REGULATIONS AND CODE OF ORDINANCES RELATING TO VEHICLES ON PUBLIC AND PRIVATE STREETS IN DIFFERENT AREAS, SO

[00:20:02]

YOU KNOW, I WON'T GET TOO MUCH INTO THEM, BUT WE DO HAVE CODE ENFORCEMENT IS ONE.

YOU DO HAVE THE PD AND THEN OBVIOUSLY IT'S YOUR PRIVATE PROPERTY.

SO YOU CAN ALWAYS CALL A TOW TRUCK AND HAVE IT MOVED EXPEDITIOUSLY.

SO THERE'S MULTIPLE WAYS TO GO ABOUT IT DEPENDING ON WHAT TIME OF DAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT COULD OCCUR IF IT OCCURRED.

OKAY. WELL, I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE ABOUT THE BUILDING, BUT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE ROADS.

ELDRED HAS BECOME THE MAIN THOROUGHFARE, AND THAT ROAD IS NOT PREPARED TO HAVE THAT MUCH TRAFFIC ON IT. IT'S NOT IN THAT GREAT OF SHAPE TO BEGIN WITH.

AND THEN YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE GOING TO THE SCHOOL ALL THE WAY FROM TARRANT, STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE, YOU KNOW, WE GOT THAT TRAFFIC, AND THEN WE GOT THE BEER TRUCK TRAFFIC AND THE ALL THE, YOU KNOW, ALL THAT STUFF.

SO THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF TRAFFIC THERE.

AND I'M JUST KIND OF CONCERNED ABOUT HAVING SOMETHING ELSE THERE THAT WOULD BRING IN MORE TRAFFIC.

SO MY MAIN CONCERN.

SO OKAY.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, MR. STEVENS.

ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT. I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:35 P.M.

AND HEAR A MOTION.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE CASE 24-210.

I'LL SECOND. HAVE A MOTION BY MICHAEL, A SECOND BY BILL.

ALL IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND.

PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO SECTION FIVE.

THERE ARE NO REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS, NO GENERAL ITEMS, NO COMMUNITY INTEREST ITEMS, AND NO FURTHER EXECUTIVE SESSION.

SO, I'LL ADJOURN THE MEETING AT 6:36 P.M..
