FIRST ITEM IS GOING TO BE ITEM 4A THE CHICK-FIL-A AT 111 NORTHWEST JOHN JONES, CASE 25-036.

CONSIDER AND TAKE A POSSIBLE ACTION ON A RESOLUTION FOR A COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN AMENDMENT WITH VARIANCE TO SECTION 132-115.

ACCESSORY BUILDING AND STRUCTURE YARD REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO DRIVE THROUGH CANOPIES.

STAFF CONTACT IS OR STAFF PRESENTER IS LIDON PEARCE.

GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS AND CHAIR. THANK YOU.

AS YOU MENTIONED, THIS IS A SITE PLAN WITH A VARIANCE FOR CHICK-FIL-A AT JOHN JONES DRIVE.

SO YOU DON'T THINK I'M C RAZY, YOU DID SEE THIS CASE A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, SO THIS WAS WITHDRAWN PRIOR TO GOING TO CITY COUNCIL.

THE APPLICANT RESUBMITTED. IT'S THE SAME REQUEST, BUT PROCEDURALLY IT HAS TO COME BACK BEFORE THIS COMMISSION.

SO YOU SHOULD BE FAIRLY FAMILIAR WITH MOST OF WHAT I'M GOING TO GO OVER, BUT FOR THE SAKE OF ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE OR THE PUBLIC THAT MIGHT BE WATCHING THAT WASN'T FAMILIAR WITH THE LAST MEETING, THEY REORDERED SOME PARKING SPACES, LIGHT POLES THE TRASH ENCLOSURE.

THE MENU BOARD AND CANOPIES, AND THEN A NEW CANOPY TO BE OVER THE NEW MEAL DELIVERY LANES.

SO THAT'S JUST AN OVERVIEW OF SOME OF THE CHANGES.

THE VARIANCE IS RELATED TO THAT CANOPY. HERE'S THE SITE PLAN.

YOU'LL SEE THERE THE REQUESTED VARIANCE SHOWN IN RED FOR THE CANOPY.

IT'S JUST KIND OF A GENERAL LOCATION THERE. AND THEN OUR APPENDIX TO OUR ACCESSORY BUILDING STRUCTURE YARDS.

ESSENTIALLY BECAUSE OF THIS BEING A DOUBLE FRONTAGE LOT, HAVING A FRONT YARD ESSENTIALLY ON FARM TO MARKET 731 JOHN JONES BECAUSE YOU HAVE THAT EASEMENT LOT ON THE OTHER, THIS REQUIRES THEM TO HAVE THAT 20 FOOT FRONT YARD, AS WE KIND OF DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY.

STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS THE SAME AS IT WAS LAST TIME FOR APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION FOR THE SITE PLAN, WITH A VARIANCE FOR THAT CANOPY WITHIN THE FRONT YARD SETBACK.

I'M HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. AND THEN THE APPLICANT IS ALSO HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.

AND THAT IS ALL. THANK YOU. THANKS LIDON. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:04 P.M..

I UNDERSTAND FOR CHICK-FIL-A YOU GUYS ARE JUST HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, RIGHT? THERE'S NOTHING YOU WANT TO SPEAK ON. OKAY.

SO I CAN TURN IT OVER TO THE COMMISSION IF ANYBODY HAS ANY CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS.

AND IF NOT, THEN WE'LL HEAR A MOTION. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:04.

THANKS . I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE CASE NUMBER 25- 036.

I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION. ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A MOTION BY MICHAEL.

A SECOND BY CLINT. ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HANDS.

THAT'S WHAT. ALL RIGHT, ALL OPPOSED RAISE YOUR HAND.

ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAVE EIGHT AGAINST ONE FOR THE MOTION.

ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON TO ITEM 4B4 440 NORTHWEST JOHN JONES CASE 25-048.

[4.B. 440 NW John Jones (Case 25-048): Hold a public hearing and consider and take possible action on a zoning ordinance change request from “SF7, Single-family district-7”, to “GR, General Retail”. (Staff Contact: Lidon Pearce, Principal Planner)]

[00:05:08]

HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON A ZONING ORDINANCE CHANGE REQUEST FROM SF SEVEN SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT SEVEN TO GR GENERAL RETAIL STAFF PRESENTER IS ONCE AGAIN LIDON PEARCE.

GOOD EVENING AGAIN. SO AS YOU MENTIONED, THIS IS A ZONING CHANGE FROM A SINGLE FAMILY SEVEN TO A BASE GENERAL RETAIL ZONING DISTRICT FOR THE AREA IN BLUE 440 NORTHWEST JOHN JONES. THIS SHOWS YOU THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO THIS AREA IS DESIGNATED IN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL AND IS CURRENTLY ZONED SINGLE FAMILY SEVEN.

JUST ONE NOTE. YOU'LL SEE IF YOU LOOKED ON THE ZONING MAP ONLINE AND ON THE SCREEN, IT SAYS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

SO THAT ORDINANCE FOR THAT PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, IT'S A LITTLE OLDER ORDINANCE, AND SOME OF IT HAS TO DO WITH SOME OF THE ROADS THAT WEREN'T YET CONSTRUCTED, BUT IT WAS INCORPORATED IN THE ZONING MAP.

HOWEVER, IN THAT PD ONCE YOU LOOK AT THE EXHIBITS, IT CLEARLY LABELS THIS LOT AS SINGLE FAMILY SEVEN SO STAFF TOOK THE PRUDENT AND JUST THE, YOU KNOW, ANY KIND OF CONFUSION. WE'RE JUST REZONING TO OUR REQUEST AND REZONE A BASE GENERAL RETAIL FOR THE APPLICANT.

SO THIS IS SOME OF THE USES THAT ARE ALLOWED BY RIGHT, AS WELL AS ONES THAT WOULD REQUIRE AN SUP.

OF NOTE, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO DEVELOP A BANK, WHICH WE WOULD ALLOW THAT AS AN OFFICE BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL IF THE ZONING WAS APPROVED. THIS IS JUST KIND OF YOU CAN SEE THE SITE I'M SURE MOST OF YOU ARE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH IT.

YOU'VE DRIVEN BY IT, BUT THAT'S JUST KIND OF A VIEW FROM THE INTERSECTION OF THE SITE THERE.

WE DID SEND A NOTICE AND I POSTED A SIGN ON THE PROPERTY.

I'VE HAD NO INQUIRIES OR OPPOSITION RELATED TO THIS REQUEST AT THIS TIME.

WE ALSO PUBLISHED IT IN THE FORT WORTH STAR TELEGRAM.

STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION, BASED ON THE USE OF GENERAL RETAIL BEING THE THE LEAST INTENSE USE THAT ACCOMPLISHES THE APPLICANT'S DESIRE, AS WELL AS CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMP PLAN. STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE ZONING CHANGE AND I'M HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

ADDITIONALLY, THE APPLICANT'S TEAM IS HERE IF YOU HAD A QUESTION FOR THEM RELATED TO THE BASELINE ZONING REQUEST.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS LIDON. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:07.

I HAVE A QUESTION. I'M KIND OF DISORIENTED HERE.

CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THE BUILDING TO THE LEFT OF THIS? IT'S THE CHURCH. THAT'S THE CHURCH RIGHT THERE.

OKAY. I SEE. OH, NOW I KNOW WHERE I'M AT. OKAY.

AND THEY'RE INTENDING TO USE THAT WHOLE STRIP OF AREA THAT RIGHT THERE? YEAH. YES. SO IF YOU IF YOU LOOK ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF HILLSIDE, THAT AREA IS ALREADY ZONED COMMERCIAL AND THEN IT WOULD BE THIS KIND OF TRIANGLE PARCEL.

SO THEY ARE INTENDING TO PUT A BANK AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THERE'S OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE ENGINEERING REVIEWS, PLANNING REVIEWS. AND, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S LAND LEFT, THEY COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE ANOTHER STRUCTURE FOR GENERAL RETAIL.

BUT A LOT OF THAT'S GOING TO BE DEPENDENT ON, YOU KNOW, HAVING THEM REQUIRED AMOUNT OF PARKING AND MEETING LANDSCAPE AND ALL THOSE OTHER ITEMS. ANY ADDITIONAL DIVISION ON THAT PROPERTY, IT'S NOT A LARGE PIECE WOULD HAVE TO FALL WITHIN THE GENERAL RETAIL ZONING.

SO DEPENDING ON ULTIMATELY HOW LARGE THE BANK IS AND HOW MUCH PARKING, YOU MIGHT SEE ANOTHER BUSINESS OR TWO.

I DON'T THINK YOU COULD GET MORE THAN THAT, AND THEY'D HAVE TO BE FAIRLY SMALL IN SIZE, BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONFORM TO ALL OUR OTHER CODES.

THAT'S A VERY, VERY BUSY AREA DURING SCHOOL OR, YOU KNOW, LIKE THREE WHATEVER TO I MEAN, FIRST THE SCHOOL BY THE CHURCH AND THEN THE HIGH SCHOOL AND THEN THE STEAM SCHOOL.

I MEAN, THAT'S A VERY BUSY AREA RIGHT IN THERE.

AND THAT'S PART OF THE REASON WHY AS OPPOSED TO YOU SEE COMMERCIAL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF HILLSIDE, WE WENT WITH GENERAL RETAIL. IT'S A LESS INTENSE USE.

SO DEFINITELY HAVING LESS INTENSE TYPE BUSINESSES THERE IN THEORY.

AND THEY STILL HAVE TO DO TIAS AND ALL THAT TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO HAPPEN ON THE SITE FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT AND A TRAFFIC LOGISTICS.

I'VE GOT A QUESTION. THE AREA BETWEEN THE BLUE LINE AND THE BACK OF THE HOUSE, THE FENCE, FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW, ELK DRIVE USED TO GO STRAIGHT THROUGH.

YES. AND I USED TO DRIVE ON THAT A LONG TIME AGO.

BUT IS THAT ABOUT 50 OR 60FT WIDE? AND IS IT A UTILITY EASEMENT? SO THERE IS SOME EASEMENTS AND RIGHT OF WAY POTENTIALLY STILL THERE.

I DON'T HAVE THE DISTANCE. I DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU A LIE.

I DON'T HAVE THE DISTANCE IN FRONT OF ME. BUT YOU CAN KIND OF SEE ELK DRIVE. IT'S THAT WIDE PLUS SOME.

SO IF YOU IMAGINE ELK DRIVE, IF IT WERE REBUILT, THERE'S ENOUGH ROOM FOR THAT TO GO ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH.

YEAH. AND I JUST THE ONLY REASON I BRING IT UP NOW.

BECAUSE SINCE SOMETHING DOESN'T EXIST HERE NOW, I DIDN'T KNOW IF THE CITY OWNED IT OR IF IT'S A UTILITY EASEMENT.

[00:10:03]

IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE SPLIT AND SOLD OFF NOW BEFORE SOMETHING IS CONSTRUCTED. THAT SMALL AREA.

SO I MEAN, THE APPLICANT STILL HAS TO DO THEIR SCREENING AND THEY'RE STILL RIGHT OF WAY, DEDICATION AND EASEMENT.

SO I DON'T LOGISTICALLY, FEASIBLY, LOGISTICALLY SEE ANYTHING GOING IN THAT STRIP RIGHT THERE.

THIS PARCEL IS THE PARCEL OF LAND. EVERYTHING THAT'S GENERALLY OUTSIDE OF THAT IS EASEMENTS OR RIGHT OF WAY.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WOULD YOU WOULDN'T SEE A BUSINESS GO IN THAT STRIP.

RIGHT. AND I WAS JUST LOOKING AT IT MORE LIKE IT COULD POSSIBLY BE LIKE AN ALLEY WHERE THEY SOME OF THE OLD ALLEYS WHERE THEY SPLIT BETWEEN PROPERTY OWNERS.

THAT'S ALWAYS A POTENTIAL THAT THAT REQUIRES, OBVIOUSLY RIGHT OF WAY ABANDONMENT AND AGREEMENTS AND GETTING THE PROPERTY OWNERS TO, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A PROCESS THAT THE CITY HAS FOR THAT IF THAT WERE TO OCCUR.

YEAH. AND SEWERS MAYBE GOING BACK THERE I DON'T KNOW.

OKAY. APPRECIATE IT. YES, SIR. THIS IS MARAH WITH THE DEVELOPMENT ENGINEERING.

I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THAT IS ACTUALLY OWNED BY TXDOT.

YEAH. THERE YOU GO. SO AND I DON'T THINK TXDOT IS GOING TO GET IN THE SNOW CONE BUSINESS OR ANYTHING SOON.

SO. [LAUGHTER] ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. CLOSE THE HEARING AT 6:11 P.M. AND HEAR A MOTION.

MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE CASE 25-048. I'LL SECOND.

ALL RIGHT. MOTION BY DAVID. SECOND BY MICHAEL.

ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HANDS. ALL RIGHT.

LOOKS LIKE THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON TO ITEM 4C 4051 VANTAGE DRIVE CASE

[4.C. 4051 Vantage Drive (Case 25-038): Hold a public hearing and consider and take possible action on a resolution for a waiver to the Subdivision and Development Ordinance, Appendix A, Section 7.5 (d). (Staff Contact: Marah Aqqad, Development Engineering Manager)]

25-038. HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON A RESOLUTION FOR A WAIVER TO THE SUBDIVISION AND DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE.

APPENDIX A, SECTION 7.5 D STAFF PRESENTER IS MARAH AQQAD.

THANK YOU, CHAIR. GOOD EVENING, CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS.

AS YOU MENTIONED, THIS IS A WAIVER TO THE SUBDIVISION AND DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE.

THIS IS LOCATED IN THE HIGH BUSINESS PARK ADDRESS 4051 DRIVE.

THIS ORIGINALLY CAME IN AS JUST ONE LOT WITH TWO BUILDINGS.

BUT THEN THE OWNER DECIDED TO COME IN AND REPLAT THIS PROPERTY.

THE WAIVER IS REQUESTED BECAUSE OUR SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE DOES NOT ALLOW FOR UTILITY PUBLIC UTILITIES TO CROSS PROPERTY LINES.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE HERE POINTED OUT WHERE IT'S GOING TO CROSS.

THE WAIVER IS REQUESTED BECAUSE OF THAT, THE APPLICANT IS STATING THAT THE SUBDIVISION TWO IS REQUESTED TO ALLOW FOR THE BUILDING TO STAND INDEPENDENTLY AND SELL THE PROPERTY, OR HAVE DIFFERENT OWNERSHIP LENDERS AND TENANTS IN THE FUTURE.

THE PUBLIC NOTICES WERE MAILED OUT WITHIN 300FT.

IT WAS PUBLISHED IN THE NEWSPAPER. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INQUIRIES OR OPPOSITION TO THIS REQUEST.
