00:12:35.680 --> 00:12:54.240
started with our first case. The first case on this afternoon's agenda is a continued case which is ZC-26-039. The address is 2801 Northwest Loop 820. The applicant is

20
00:12:54.240 --> 00:13:11.600
Marian Samson Co. Steve Reordan, Westwood Professional Services. And the request is from A5, One Family Residential and AG Light or um agricultural, excuse me, to I Light

21
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:32.240
Industrial. >> Is the present. >> Welcome. >> Good afternoon, commissioners. Is this on? Okay, good. Uh Travis Kle with Westwood Professional Services. We are the consulting engineer on this project. Um quickly give you an overview of the

22
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:49.120
project. U property has been owned and owned by the Marian Sansson family for more than a century. The Sansom family has played an important role in the Fort Worth community through significant civic and land contributions including the Marian Sansson Park, the Buck Samson

23
00:13:49.120 --> 00:14:06.320
Park, Fort Worth Stock Show, and the Fort Worth rodeo. Uh the Samsung family is actually a partner in this development uh along with the developer today. Uh the proposal I think I have a we can kind of go to the next there we go. Uh next slide please. So the

24
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:22.000
proposal is for four buildings all for roughly 200,000 square feet or less on the property. Um our proposed zoning is going from a to light industrial. Uh we thank you sir.

25
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:40.000
We continued the case last month because we wanted to have further dialogue with our councilman uh Carlos Flores uh and with some neighborhood groups uh in the area. Um along with the PD, we decided to remove many of the unsavory uses

26
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:55.440
including data center uh on this site. Um but because of its nearby uh industrial to the east and the which was reszoned I believe last year uh we are also asking for an industrial use along

27
00:14:55.440 --> 00:15:12.800
the highway here. So some of our benefits versus what's happened already along the highway. Um we are nearly doubling our setback to any proposed residential use uh that would be near us. Um we are proposing 35% minimum open

28
00:15:12.800 --> 00:15:29.600
space on the site unlike our neighbors. Um we have zero access along any residential street or other street outside of the highway and access road. We believe that's a benefit versus putting truck traffic and residential

29
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:46.880
traffic mixing together unlike our partners or our our neighbors. Um, and we're also working with the land on this proposed site. So, one of the issues being sight lines and site vision. Um, if I can fast forward here to the next. So, here's kind of a a

30
00:15:46.880 --> 00:16:04.000
general site plan. The green is the open space we're we're planning on preserving. Uh, the blue buildings are what we are preparing or proposing on the site. The orange red orange is existing already approved zoning for industrial immediately adjacent to us.

31
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:20.800
Here's another site plan of how those buildings would look versus what's out there today. This is would be a sight line from the existing neighborhood main entrance off of 820 looking at what our proposed buildings would look like versus the

32
00:16:20.800 --> 00:16:36.320
tree canopy that blocks site. Our site drops a roughly 50 feet across the site. Okay. And so we are working with the land to drop our site below what we think is a visible horizon from the existing neighborhood.

33
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:51.839
This would be an example of the exterior uh view of the proposed buildings. I got two slides of these just kind of show you give you an idea of what would be on the site. Obviously unless you were actually on the site you wouldn't see this from from the road because of the

34
00:16:51.839 --> 00:17:08.720
topography and the trees. Here's a rendering of what the site would look like. So again, we're proposing 35% open space. We're looking at doubling our setbacks that we would be required to have to an existing

35
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:25.679
residential use. Um so we're doubling our setbacks and we're taking away all of the uses you see on here uh that were kind of unsavory to typical uh neighborhoods. Uh at the request of of the councilman to be very clear.

36
00:17:25.679 --> 00:17:41.280
Um, so I'll go back to the site real quick. Uh, so meetings. We've had several meetings uh with Councilman Flores. Um, again, we continued the case at his request to have these conversations. We recently met with last week the far greater North Side

37
00:17:41.280 --> 00:17:57.520
Historical Neighborhood Association and presented our case. They had zero formal opposition to this case and that is the overlaid neighborhood association for this area. Uh we've also met with Cababalito Delmare HOA and they have

38
00:17:57.520 --> 00:18:13.919
supported us. That is the residential use. Go back to an overall site plan here. The neighborhood to the west that is Cababalito Delmare and they have supported our industrial case. We've also reached out to the Northwest Fort

39
00:18:13.919 --> 00:18:29.200
Worth Neighborhood Alliance and the Marine Creek Community Association. Both don't overlay the site at all. they actually start north of 820 and go further north, but we reached out with zero opposition as well. The only comment we heard was they may be able to

40
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:46.080
see the site from the trail that's on the north side of the highway. Um, they may be able to see the buildings, which I think may be a stretch. It does sit up higher, but our site sits down pretty low, you know, 50 feet below below the highway. So um again our project is

41
00:18:46.080 --> 00:19:01.919
adjacent to recently approved industrial that's already been done by this commission. Uh we have better benefits. We have better setbacks. We have better open space. Uh we have restricted our uses including data centers and we have support from our neighborhood

42
00:19:01.919 --> 00:19:17.840
association to the west and have not received any formal opposition to the state. That's my presentation. I'll be happy to answer any questions you have. >> Thanks Travis. U if you would hang out for a minute. I don't have any opposition that I know of. If I'm speaking out of turn, I have a stack full of papers up here if you're

43
00:19:17.840 --> 00:19:33.440
wondering. >> You have this on, >> you know, the the large truck traffic that this would add to that area. >> Yes, the truck traffic will be highway based only, unlike the industrial to the east which would conflict with neighborhood uh multif family and residential that already use those

44
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:50.559
access roads or already use those public city streets. we would be impacting zero city streets, zero impact to neighborhood streets that the city would maintain, only highway access on and off the highway. The problem is with Asel Avenue right there. Currently, those

45
00:19:50.559 --> 00:20:06.960
that live on the north side, if they have to use the service road to get to Asel Avenue to get on 820 at any point. >> So once you intersection, you're talking about >> 20 minutes on any average day just to get on the highway from there because of the traffic that's backed up already. Again, operating in business hours, I

46
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:22.400
think would be a little bit different on how the the traffic the residential traffic hits, but I do understand your point when you get to the intersection of where Asel Avenue hits the the access road that there will be truck traffic and residential traffic there. Different from putting traffic on the city

47
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:41.600
streets, which is what's already out there today. Hey Travis, just for a clarification, your presentation shows PD light industrial, but the staff report just has light industrial. Is that because you're excluding So the original

48
00:20:41.600 --> 00:20:57.600
notification that went out was light industrial. Then we continued it because we haven't renotified for PD light industrial we're requesting a more restrictive use here today to be PD light industrial with the uses removed >> and we can do that without having to

49
00:20:57.600 --> 00:21:15.679
have another hearing or continue it now >> since it's more notified as as light industrial I'm asking for more >> you're not asking for a waiver for a site plan or anything like this >> uh no >> okay and on that uh this for staff um

50
00:21:15.679 --> 00:21:32.080
since they are restricting all these uses. Is there an echo or is that just me? >> Um or are we we or is would staff be more uh open to something like this now that they're restricting? You want to comment

51
00:21:32.080 --> 00:21:49.360
on because we obviously this has changed since we talked about it in the work session. >> Right. I would uh suggest that if you are excluding um additional uses and you are increasing setbacks that I do not believe that staff would would u would

52
00:21:49.360 --> 00:22:06.640
uh support this less or or be in a you know um have a stronger opposition. Obviously, it's still not aligning with the comprehensive plan, but um with the increased setbacks, with the um excluded uses, certainly just objectively, you

53
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:23.440
feel like this is a more um I I suppose there's less risk in the uh potential developments just on the surface of what the ask is. Can we go back to the restricted uses real quick? Okay, there it is. Yeah, I

54
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:39.520
mean uh it's certainly at least for me uh more appealing because the idea just supposed to be this is just warehouse. Correct. >> It's all it is. Correct. >> Okay. Now there's no chance that a new owner takes over and they can put a you

55
00:22:39.520 --> 00:22:56.159
know all these start galvanizing uh yeah in these other things that people don't necessarily want to live by. So anyone have any questions? Uh just one question quickly. Um on this access road

56
00:22:56.159 --> 00:23:12.320
that provides access to the site, is that two-way or one way? >> It is one way eastbound only. >> It's one way, >> correct? >> And is it one way from the west? >> It goes westbound to eastbound. So it's eastbound traffic only.

57
00:23:12.320 --> 00:23:28.720
>> So this road of blue basically >> you see a gas well site >> on the on the exhibit. So it would be going to the left on this on this picture to the on the bottom. >> The access road is one way.

58
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:45.360
>> Correct. >> Where do you gain access? >> Previous intersection. We have to get off the highway. >> How far is that? >> Uh half a mile. >> Yeah. You have Ail Avenue to the west and then you have Marine Creek Parkway to the east would be your next on-ramp

59
00:23:45.360 --> 00:24:00.240
to get on back on A20. >> Okay. What I'm what I'm looking what I'm asking about really is uh what kind of mixes are going to be between traffic coming to and from the site and

60
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:16.400
the nearby residential development. So you already have Richie Brothers which is on the north side of 820 right there which anytime they have an auction going or getting ready to go they always have to hire Fort PD to handle traffic flow because it's so bad.

61
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:32.880
>> Okay. Any additional traffic? >> That's on the other side of the highway. >> Any other questions for the applicant? >> Travis, I don't know if you mentioned it or I missed it. The what looks like it would fit maybe an accessory use or ancillary business in

62
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:49.360
the front there. Is that an available pad site that's still treated? It's right there. Is that set to be a buffer? >> We're we're setting our our site plan back. Okay. >> So, we it's kind of at an angle because of the where the topo works and where the site works. The front corner of that building is about as close as we can get to the highway, which means the back

63
00:24:49.360 --> 00:25:06.799
side of that building is a little skewed further away. Plus, there's a gas well site that restricts our building being any closer to the gas well setbacks. >> Any other questions? >> Travis, you have a plan for lighting? I don't see it on your rendering.

64
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:21.760
>> I don't have a plan for light. Probably typical down lighting. Obviously, not to impact any residents nearby. Obviously, >> this is a 247 facility. >> I believe it's a 24/7 facility. Yes, sir. >> Thank you. >> Got one last question. Would you have

65
00:25:21.760 --> 00:25:37.679
any an issue if we uh decided to require a site plan? >> Uh, no. I mean, >> okay. >> It just has us come back. We do site plans up front. >> Yeah. >> You tweak anything, we're back in front of you every time we want to add a party. >> If if it comes up when you're after you

66
00:25:37.679 --> 00:25:53.679
sit down. Just curious. Okay. >> All right. Thanks, Travis. At this point, since we don't have any opposition, we'll close the public hearing and have some discussion and a motion. Commissioner Trillo, do you have any comments you want to lay

67
00:25:53.679 --> 00:26:08.159
out first? >> So, if they add the exclusions, we can still move this forward to council. >> Yeah, we would just need to the motion would need to to say that uh you know, it's a PDI. Um I don't we wouldn't need to list the

68
00:26:08.159 --> 00:26:23.679
restrictions, would we? Uh yes we would okay >> you would have to do basically you would have to read that slide so it' be a PDI with development standards for open space building setbacks and you would have to read those and then excluding the following uses and then read all those uses.

69
00:26:23.679 --> 00:26:39.840
>> So if you if you feel like this is something you want to try and approve yeah you're going to Chris's point read all that. Uh my my comment now is with all these exclusions it it certainly sounds better

70
00:26:39.840 --> 00:26:56.400
and with your I know the traffic uh is a concern. It's currently A5 and so if this was developed as A5 I mean you could probably argue that that adds more traffic. It's not 18-wheeler traffic but it's more cars more traffic. So, um, and to me, like a comment I made on

71
00:26:56.400 --> 00:27:12.240
something else, uh, in our work session, seems like this is where you would want like an industrial building right off the freeway. But, uh, >> yeah, as long as they have the good setback to the west because that's where A5 is currently going to be built up to

72
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:30.480
by that gas. >> Yeah. And they're, you know, adding that set back an open space. So yeah. >> Yes. I I would recommend it with all these exclusions. >> Anybody else have any uh comments or

73
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:49.360
opinions? >> Say something. >> Oh yeah. Sorry. >> Oh, Chris got his microphone. >> Go ahead, Chris. Sorry. >> If the commissioner is uncomfortable reading it, I can read it and then just confirm that it's going to be the motion and then you guys can vote if that is.

74
00:27:49.360 --> 00:28:05.039
>> I'm good with Are you are you okay not requiring a site plan? >> It's it's not on there. It was just an option. >> Yeah, I think we're good as long as we list the exclusion. So, >> perfect. Okay. >> So, the site plan is going to be waved or required. >> The the setback he's got on there, but

75
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:21.039
just requiring a site plan is not something we want to add. So, >> it's just it was just an option. >> I just wanted to make sure because with a PD by default the requirement is that a site plan would be required even if >> Okay. The default rule would be a site

76
00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:35.919
plan would be required. So I just wanted to >> Yeah, let's do a site plan then. Okay. >> As a requirement >> want to make sure. So uh as it uh the motion would be for a PD I um with development standards for open space

77
00:28:35.919 --> 00:28:52.640
which would be a minimum of 35% of the total site area. Uh increased setbacks uh 90 ft along uh the southwest property line, 80 feet along the southeast property line. all other per current code and then exclude the following uses

00:31:45.279 --> 00:32:04.640

89
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:21.720
consulting engineering firm working on on this case. Uh before you um the site is roughly 184 185 acres. Um, get to a exhibit here.

90
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:44.960
So, this site is too far. So, this site is is roughly is on I20 on the highway uh in Farmer Road. Uh, a very high growth area. Obviously, Walsh Ranch and the successes of Walsh Ranch are to our east. uh Morning Star to our north uh and obviously the Dean Ranch

91
00:32:44.960 --> 00:33:00.480
conversations on the south side of the properties that you guys are probably aware of. Um this case will have a companion case for annexation as well. So we are not currently in the city of Fort Worth. We're in the ETJ. So we are voluntarily annexing the property into the city of

92
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:15.919
Fort Worth uh for service for water and sewer uh and zoning uh for the site. Um the comprehensive plan calls for that corner to be a commercial corner. That's what we want to do. General G commercial. Um, our vision is probably

93
00:33:15.919 --> 00:33:32.960
for some large retail, big box type retail on the corner. That is our goal there. But it's also our vision that the backside of the property have a mix of options because we don't have an enduser at at this time. Um, and so in working

94
00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:48.159
with the city, we kind of came up with some ideas on limiting some uses and one of those being single family detached residential units mainly because it's a valuable commercial corner. We don't want uh single family housing in my

95
00:33:48.159 --> 00:34:04.480
opinion from a landing perspective on the highways fronting our highways. And so, uh, so our uses we wanted to have were an industrial option limiting, um, certain uses. The city allowed for some UR, some compact, dense residential if

96
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:20.560
that were be the case. I would say that's our least likely option. It's kind of a fallback position. Um and we wanted the ability to do uh some multif family back there in case we wanted to do some residential dense residential which makes sense on a high volume

97
00:34:20.560 --> 00:34:36.639
highway and road like Farmer Road. So uh we wanted a commercial use of commercial tax base uh which the city is favorable on. Uh we just kind of get a little bit different when it comes to uh what the city wants to see on the frontage of the highway which is more of a mixeduse

98
00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:54.159
site. Our struggle is that I've got a million square foot of mixed use to the east to Walsh to comp to compete with. I've got 200 acres of Dean Ranch Bell property of mixed use across the highway to the south and I've got Willow Park with their mixeduse program a mile down

99
00:34:54.159 --> 00:35:09.680
the road. It's a struggle to put that much mixeduse on the ground and for it to be anything compatible. Um so that is why we have industrial as an option. Um, obviously with the conversations regarding data centers here lately, I

100
00:35:09.680 --> 00:35:25.520
was called uh immediately by Michael Crane, Councilman Michael Crane, and requested to remove the data center use specifically for this site, which we volunteered to do. And so we continued the case last month so that we could formally notify that to make sure the

101
00:35:25.520 --> 00:35:42.800
residents in the area knew that we were not going for a data center. Uh and so our zoning case is going to be a PD um on the back end allowing I industrial light industrial but not allowing data centers on the site period. Data centers

102
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:58.160
were ever contemplated, we'd have to come back before uh this zoning commission and city council to have that conversation. So, um, our goal moving forward, um, is the track one being your commercial frontage along Farmer and the

103
00:35:58.160 --> 00:36:13.520
highway and we call it the back half of the property, the western most side, the side towards Willow Park uh, being a mix of options of uses including industrial and some UR dense residential and multif

104
00:36:13.520 --> 00:36:31.280
family. But again, the goal right now is not to do a residential use. The goal is to have a commercial tax base on this corner which is desperately needed uh in Fort Worth as we all know. So that's our request today is to move forward with uh approval of our zoning with those uses.

105
00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:45.680
I can't think of any better uses than commercial on the corner and industrial along a highway with access right off the access road on the outskirts of our city. Thank you. >> Thanks Travis. Any questions before we bring up the opposition?

106
00:36:45.680 --> 00:37:01.440
>> Okay. Um, we do have one person signed up to speak in opposition. Is that correct? Is anybody else here? Okay. Um, and while you're walking up here, just just again to clarify, um, because there are two different tracks with different

107
00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:17.200
zoning, but uh, if this were to be approved, um, a data center would not be able to be built on this property. I know sometimes the wording of this stuff is confusing and uh maybe you don't trust the applicant, but I can I can tell you we talked about it uh earlier

108
00:37:17.200 --> 00:37:32.720
and there's there's no way in its current zoning that that that could happen. So, >> welcome. >> Hi. And I I'm also very new to this and I'm sorry for the ruckus we cause. Um I live in Walsh Ranch and you know, we're we're a picture of Walsh Ranch. We're

109
00:37:32.720 --> 00:37:49.599
just young families and you know, we're just here trying to protect our way of life. Um we don't get involved a lot. you don't see a lot of us because because we're doing this during the day. Um and so, you know, Travis is a good guy. We've we've spoken about this land. Um but you know, this is the land that we live right next door to and and we

110
00:37:49.599 --> 00:38:06.560
look at every day. And um I think our biggest issue as a community is the light industrial. I know data centers have come out, which thank you Travis, that was a big, you know, we were all very worried about that. But um I, you know, we don't really want any of the industrial and I know that that may be naive. Um, but we're all just here

111
00:38:06.560 --> 00:38:22.640
trying our best. Um, trying to protect our kids' futures and and our way of life. So, I think our issue is with the the light industrial and what that means exactly and and I know he said warehouses, but what happens if they go? Um, you know, and as well as, you know,

112
00:38:22.640 --> 00:38:37.680
the commercial is going to come regardless, but do we need another Dick? Do we need another Home Depot down the exit from another Home Depot across the street? You know, there's an ace DOWN THE ROAD. UM, I'm so sorry. >> Oh, you're you're fine. Don't worry about it. We're glad you're here. I think

113
00:38:37.680 --> 00:38:52.800
>> all to say is we're just trying to ask that this land is some of the most beautiful land. I don't know if you guys are familiar or if you've seen it. Um, but it's just the most beautiful land. Um, all those rolling hills out in West Fort Worth. So, I think we're just encouraging you guys to be really

114
00:38:52.800 --> 00:39:10.720
thoughtful about that land and you know what it means for kids. And sorry, I don't know why it makes me emotional. just it's such a an important part of my kids' lives because we see the cows every day. And um I know the cows can't stay, but all all that to say, I just um

115
00:39:10.720 --> 00:39:26.079
as I sit here thinking about our future and our way of life and and my boy's future, I just want us to be really thoughtful of of what that land really looks like and what that means for all the families that look like. >> I'm so sorry. I don't >> No, no, don't apologize. You're doing great. Keep it up. >> This is so silly.

116
00:39:26.079 --> 00:39:41.520
>> You're fine. Um anyway, so that that light industrial is my biggest beef. Um the secondary being I think we should be really thoughtful with that commercial and and again, you know, we've got a Kroger coming across the street from an HB down the street from a Brookshire down the street from another HB in a

117
00:39:41.520 --> 00:39:57.920
central market. So, I'm trying to avoid if best I can what's happening already on the other corner of Dean and and you know be thoughtful with this land and you know make a really beautiful land something if it's got to be something that's not the beautiful cows um

118
00:39:57.920 --> 00:40:13.440
something that adds to our lives not just another dicks you know what I mean so >> that's all thank you >> thank you for your your comments um any questions for the opposition Okay, great job. By the way, Travis, uh,

119
00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:30.200
you're you got two minutes to rebut if you want it. >> I think there was another opposition. >> I'll tell you what I'll >> Sorry. >> Sorry, Travis. Did someone else sign up? >> Okay. Okay.

120
00:40:30.720 --> 00:40:47.680
>> Um, would you mind? Yeah. Uh, you can come speak, but then when you're done, if you would fill out one of those forms. How much time do we have? >> Uh, it looks like we have about two minutes, so have to make it quick, but let's hear what you have to say.

121
00:40:47.680 --> 00:41:04.480
>> Um, my name is Dorothy Willingham. My zip code is Weatherford, but I live just north of this tract of land. Um, and I'm also opposed to the light industrial zoning. Um, my reasons are mainly a lot of what the the lady just spoke about,

122
00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:21.280
but the south side of 20 already has quite a bit of industrial use, and it already has it's zoned for industrial, both light and heavier. So, my feeling is is rather than doing both sides of the freeway, let's keep all the industrial on the south. Um, the

123
00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:37.680
commercial is going to come, the residential is going to come. Um, but I don't think we need to put the industrial on both sides. Um, this tract of land is is within a half mile of a middle school, an elementary school, and two large

124
00:41:37.680 --> 00:41:54.560
churches. So, I don't think the traffic that the roads in the area will not support that type of traffic that we're talking about with the warehousing and that type of um situation. Um, and the third reason that

125
00:41:54.560 --> 00:42:14.480
I have that I'm opposed is because Dean Ranch already owns three of the four corners of this intersection. They've got industrial on the other side of the freeway. They don't need to put industrial on the north side of the freeway. Um, so keep it south. Thank

126
00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:32.319
you. >> Thank you for your comments. >> All right, Travis. Uh yes. So couple things real quick that were mentioned. Um so the Dean property to the south of the highway I'm also working on. Uh it was put into Willow

127
00:42:32.319 --> 00:42:49.200
Park. Um it's going through some litigation right now as to what city it should be in, but Robert Bell's plan for that is a mixeduse site with multif family and commercial and and what have you. So it's a true mixeduse site. Uh there may be some small industrial but

128
00:42:49.200 --> 00:43:06.400
that's not the the it's 90% going to be a commercial mixed use site. Um southeast part the main 1500 acres of Dean Ranch has been proposed single family has been proposed commercial along frontage for for Alto. Um but I have not seen any land plans yet as I've

129
00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:22.560
worked on the site for industrial uh to date. That doesn't mean it can't happen. It's just not kerneling in the cards on the south side. There is some industrial west southwest that's existing today. Some kind of small warehousing type, not

130
00:43:22.560 --> 00:43:38.960
not really high-end industrial that's in I believe Willow Park or ETJ Willow Park, not in the city. Um, but in our case, we want to come into the city of Fort Worth. We want to be a viable tax base. We think the highest and best use is strong commercial corner, strong

131
00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:56.000
industrial, but using light industrial and limiting the type of industrial because we do understand that there are other cars and traffic in the area. Our traffic, guys, is off the highway. We're not using city streets um to get truck traffic in and out of this. We're coming

132
00:43:56.000 --> 00:44:10.720
in off the highway going back on the highway. There may be a requirement to have another access point, but we don't have that site plan yet. We don't have end end users yet to understand exactly what that traffic looks like. In any case, a traffic study will be required

133
00:44:10.720 --> 00:44:28.480
at the time of platting. A flood study will be required at the time of platting. Water and sewer studies will be required at the time of platting. We are just looking at land use and is it appropriate to have a commercial corner and industrial along our highway uh at this location? That's my response.

134
00:44:28.480 --> 00:44:44.400
>> Hang out for a second in case there are questions. questions for Travis. >> Can we go back to the slide that shows the intersection and sides of the highway? >> Is that one or you want to different?

135
00:44:44.400 --> 00:45:11.040
>> This is okay. >> On this exhibit, by the way, the HB is proposed to go directly east of that yellow highlighted area. That is their commercial mixeduse area. East east east of the yellow block. >> You mean east of the proposed

136
00:45:11.040 --> 00:45:32.480
>> east of the proposed where it's highlighted in yellow or >> blurb in yellow there. Are you good? Um I'm going to ask a similar question that I asked you earlier. Um, since there is opposition about the industrial part, and I know you're trying to leave your options open

137
00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:49.520
since you don't have a buyer for that part yet. Um, and I might have to check with Chris uh if in the event that uh we all like this minus that. Can we remove that because that makes it more

138
00:45:49.520 --> 00:46:11.040
restrictive without renoticing. >> I don't know that he would let us do it. What's that? >> To just remove the I >> mean >> the staff recommendation is denial of track too. >> Right. Right. I'm just curious if um I

139
00:46:11.040 --> 00:46:26.319
just wanted us to have options. So I was just curious. >> I mean I guess you could do um approve excluding you know approve all of the uh the zoning excluding the eye. I just wanted to make sure legally we could do that without >> renoticing.

140
00:46:26.319 --> 00:46:41.680
>> Now then when I ask Travis he might say I don't want that. >> Obviously I believe Travis Yeah. But from a legal standpoint on your motion if you wanted to uh exclude the I I don't see anything wrong. >> Thank you Chris. So So now that comes

141
00:46:41.680 --> 00:46:57.119
back to you would uh in in the event that we have our discussion if if that were an option like we like this minus that >> I think we want to keep the happy. I'd be happy to uh volunteer a site plan. >> Okay. >> Uh if that would help this commission

142
00:46:57.119 --> 00:47:14.079
make a decision uh because I think we're excluding a site plan in our application. But for track two uh where the industrial is, I'll be happy to submit >> a site plan for review. And then the other part is if you want to put mixed use on this thing, you're going to have twice the traffic and twice the cars.

143
00:47:14.079 --> 00:47:30.880
And if we're going to do that then and traffic is the issue, you're going to have way more especially on the weekends. >> Sure. because I I live in Alliance and I live in Alliance Town Center and it's worse on Saturday and Sunday because of the mixed use part of it than it is during the work week.

144
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:46.560
>> Okay. Right. Any other questions for Travis? >> But one point I'd like to make is that mixed use normally provides some services and some integration of the property with the nearby neighborhood. For instance, providing an office space

145
00:47:46.560 --> 00:48:02.319
or whatever. So, it's somewhat more attractive even though you're correct in making the point it might be more traffic. >> It is, but I've also got Walsh Ranch, a 7,000 acre development with half of it being commercial and mixed use. The only

146
00:48:02.319 --> 00:48:18.240
residential piece of Walsh Ranch is already built. The rest of it, the 4,000 acres is going to be commercial mixed use. To compete with that is difficult. >> All right. Thank you, Travis. Appreciate it. Uh we'll close the public hearing

147
00:48:18.240 --> 00:48:33.040
and leave it open for some discussion. Sorry if that was confusing, Beth. I was just trying to give us some if in the event we're like because we heard all those comments about the industrial trying to see if we had a window there. >> I appreciate that. I wouldn't mind getting um fellow commissioners opinions

148
00:48:33.040 --> 00:49:06.640
on a site plan required for track 2. Keeping it as I but site plan required. It's actually on uh staff was just pointing this out. Track 2 already they already have a PD >> site plan required. So it's there. >> It's there. >> Better.

149
00:49:06.640 --> 00:49:22.079
>> Um okay. If no one has >> Yes. Did you have a Who had a comment? >> Sorry, Mr. Pierce. Okay. Uh, Commissioner Orman, >> I had a question for Travis. >> Yeah, >> Travis, do you anticipate any um

150
00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:36.880
roadway improvements from you guys on any of this? I know because you're not, you know, using a bunch of city stuff, but >> is there a future need for for volume? I know Tex's going to have to redesign the bridge and the intersection at some point down the line, but

151
00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:53.520
>> Good point. Very good point. So, because we are volunteering to come into the city of Fort Worth, um traffic impact fees will be required because of these uses, significant traffic impact fees will be part of that program and the city's going to want us to build infrastructure versus writing checks to

152
00:49:53.520 --> 00:50:09.760
the city that they'll hold for future construction. So, I would imagine there's going to be significant roadway improvements to Farmer Road. We can't do anything to text dot right unless they direct us to and we'll have to have that conversation at platting. But for I

153
00:50:09.760 --> 00:50:25.119
would expect Farmer Road to be expanded to a four-lane road. I think we would be responsible for probably the two lanes on our side. Uh and and part of that would be the traffic impact fees. So if we don't spend all that money on farmer, we would be paying traffic impact fees

154
00:50:25.119 --> 00:50:40.319
to the city uh to make to make them whole for our impacts. So yes, I expect uh infrastructure improvements. >> Thank you, >> Travis. Do you have any other comments?

155
00:50:40.319 --> 00:50:57.839
>> No, just I mean just for us if we talk for a minute, but just we have a lot of warehouse space and light industrial in district 10. I think the last maybe seven years, five, seven years, it's been planned out

156
00:50:57.839 --> 00:51:13.440
really well and it's been very useful. Um, we're building the tax base, but limiting city services. You know, we don't have students for the school district to worry about either. Um, and we've also seen a a huge amount money

157
00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:30.000
for our district from impact fees. I mean, enough to cover significant roadway improvements. and being where this is and knowing that there's more that's coming out there. Um, I am supportive of that because it helped get stuff done quicker as opposed to what happened in 10, what's happening in six.

158
00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:45.280
We can prevent it in three by being ahead of the curve because we can't do the roads without the businesses. Um, and the businesses aren't going to aren't going to just show up one day because we spent millions of dollars building roads. They're going to go somewhere else and do their own thing

159
00:51:45.280 --> 00:52:04.720
waiting for us to build our roads. I had a so where I am right now like uh you know track one seems kind of like slam dunk there so it's track two that you know gives me a little pause um but

160
00:52:04.720 --> 00:52:20.559
I I'll go back to um the traffic thing. So, I mean, if you if you driven through here, I mean, there's under construction right now, so it's really bad, but um certainly more people are moving west. It's, you know, it's going to get

161
00:52:20.559 --> 00:52:37.119
heavier and heavier and heavier. Um, and it's I think sometimes light industrial gets a bad w, you know, that like I don't want manufacturing going on next to my house. Um, and there I think there are good concerns, good reasons why that

162
00:52:37.119 --> 00:52:52.800
gets brought up because people are afraid of noise. They're afraid of, you know, pollution and stuff like that being close to a residential area. Um, but uh, you know, there are existing regulations outside of what what we do

163
00:52:52.800 --> 00:53:08.480
um that uh would keep the neighbors safe from the noise, from potential pollution. Um and and this is again there's a big difference between light manufacturing and heavy manufacturing. Um so uh and I you know I definitely

164
00:53:08.480 --> 00:53:25.200
heard the comments about that and um you know you're raising your family and you're you're wanting to keep your kids safe. I understand that. Um and then balance that with all the people and all the traffic and um and

165
00:53:25.200 --> 00:53:40.720
the we talk about like working close to where you live. If we take out all the places like light manufacturing that provide jobs, people could work. Somebody could live in Walsh Rants and drive right down the road to their job, you know. So there there's that stuff, too. I just want to I'm not

166
00:53:40.720 --> 00:53:56.720
trying to um convince you of anything. I just want you to like hear another side of it. And then the traffic part, too. I mean, if we if there's if we, you know, if we were to deny that and they were to come back and say, "Okay, we'll we'll do more commercial, which is

167
00:53:56.720 --> 00:54:12.240
what's, you know, the city is recommending with comp plan." But, uh, I mean, the traffic is going to be way worse than, you know, some, uh, light industrial or, you know, something like that. So, just something to think about, you know.

168
00:54:12.240 --> 00:54:28.400
>> I think I'm ready to make a motion. >> Um, I do know the applicant had stated. Um I do know Councilman Crane wanted to make sure that his um constituents voices were heard with removal of the data center and the other uses as they are listed here. I also think that with

169
00:54:28.400 --> 00:54:47.359
the PD site plan required for track 2 adds that extra layer here. So um with all of that I would move to approve ZC260 >> as requested. >> As requested. >> Okay. Uh, do we have a second?

170
00:54:47.359 --> 00:55:02.640
>> I'll second the motion. >> All right, we have a motion to approve this case by Commissioner Welch and a second by Commissioner Edmonds. >> Commissioners, how do you vote? Chairperson Reigns, >> I. >> Commissioner Trujillo, >> I. >> Commissioner Welch, >> I.

171
00:55:02.640 --> 00:55:18.240
>> Commissioner McCoy, >> I. >> Commissioner Edmonds, >> I. >> Commissioner Robinson, >> I. >> Commissioner Pierce, >> Commissioner Rogers. >> Hi, >> Commissioner Wman. I >> and Commissioner Castro >> I

172
00:55:18.240 --> 00:55:35.359
>> the vote of 10 to zero the vote passes >> and before we call the next case just I know we're we're talking a lot up here but uh I hope that is important to you that we're discussing these things but uh if if you would help us if uh when you hear your case called if you would

173
00:55:35.359 --> 00:55:49.119
just come up to the mic while he's reading the case and that will help move things along a little quicker on that end. So ahead next slide please. Next case is SP-26-00006.

174
00:55:49.119 --> 00:56:06.799
The the address is 15801 Championship Parkway. The applicant is Rowan Oak 35114 Partners LP, Bill Becker, Coco Development Inc., Zach Johnston, KFM Engineering and Design, and David

175
00:56:06.799 --> 00:56:25.040
Pitcher. The request is to amend PD1 1432 site plan to remove detached multifamily dwelling units >> is there you are the applicant here. >> Welcome >> there. Um I'm Zach Johnston with

176
00:56:25.040 --> 00:56:43.359
Endeavor Real Estate Group. I think we have a quick presentation loaded. This is the this is um we'll try to be pretty brief today just perspective of everybody's time but thank you for taking time to listen to

177
00:56:43.359 --> 00:56:59.280
us. Um a little bit of our presentation includes some information about Endeavor Real Estate Group. We are out of Austin, Texas. We're a real estate investment firm. We also do a lot of development capitalized over five and a half billion dollars projects. >> Could you speak into the microphone,

178
00:56:59.280 --> 00:57:15.280
please? >> Sorry. Could you speak into the microphone, please? >> Sorry. Um, we've uh we've actually done some development in Fort Worth on the left bank side. We built some multif family projects down there. Um, and the first couple slides just gives you some information about

179
00:57:15.280 --> 00:57:32.000
our company. But, uh, the essence of time, we'll move to the actual project. Uh, we're talking about a piece of land today just south of Texas Motor Lowway. um part of a larger mixed juice development that's been for the most part relatively built out. We're just on

180
00:57:32.000 --> 00:57:47.599
the southwest intersection of uh I35 West and 114. Uh this is a zoomed in view. Uh we we're talking about 17.2 acres. Uh this has already been approved for multif family and residential use.

181
00:57:47.599 --> 00:58:03.040
Uh there was a previous site plan that was approved um which I will go to. Uh this is actually just a sideby-side comparison. On the right is the previous site plan. On the left is the proposed

182
00:58:03.040 --> 00:58:19.359
site plan. The previous site plan was for residential use. Um and the and that site plan was approved. It includes, as you can see, a number of sort of cottage style two-story structures that line the periphery of the site. Um this site

183
00:58:19.359 --> 00:58:34.799
never got built and we've picked the site up and are working with the owners. Our uh perspective is that the the two-story cottage town homes aren't really viable in today's market, at least not for us economically. And so we're proposing to come back and build a

184
00:58:34.799 --> 00:58:51.520
more typical multif family flats. Um in doing so though, we're we're we've attempted to keep the the general integrity of the site very similar with pushing buildings to the frontage of the roads, internalizing the parking. Uh we've lessened some of the previously

185
00:58:51.520 --> 00:59:08.000
approved uh standards. So all of our buildings are proposed to be three stories. Previously uh the multifamily buildings that were in the center of the site were proposed to be four stories. Uh and then we've worked with kind of the local or with the local neighborhood

186
00:59:08.000 --> 00:59:22.880
association to pull those buildings further away from the golf course to the west. Uh you can see in the previous application they had buildings right up on that southwestern border. we've pulled our buildings off of that and put in more amenities to kind of sit in

187
00:59:22.880 --> 00:59:40.079
between that. Um, and so just as a quick overview, I mean, to date, in the beginning of the year, we met with staff to go through this. We we had originally anticipated this was going to be an administrative approval, uh, but we but it was decided that we would go through the full process here.

188
00:59:40.079 --> 00:59:55.599
Um, and so since then, we've met with the North Fort Worth Alliance uh, group. They've support they're supportive of us and provided a letter of support. We've met with the Beachwood Park Association and talked spoken with them. They've also are supportive and provided us with

189
00:59:55.599 --> 01:00:13.040
the letter of support. Uh staff is recommending approval. And so, you know, again, we're we're certainly here to answer questions that you guys may have, but the essence of time, you know, that's that's the general idea. >> And I don't have anyone signed up to speak in opposition. So, um questions,

190
01:00:13.040 --> 01:00:29.280
commissioners? So, I'd like to know how you're going to protect the dogs from all of the golf balls that are going. >> We We trusted everybody in Fort Worth can hit it straight. >> So, no, they don't. I promise. I've actually And when we had this case last year, I asked the same question. You're putting buildings up against where

191
01:00:29.280 --> 01:00:45.640
people who suck at golf are going to hit the ball like every day. So, it's not anything that has to do with land use in case the attorney's listening. I'm just telling you, man, >> don't be that guy on the news who killed all the dogs with the title list. Okay. >> Sure. Um,

192
01:00:45.680 --> 01:01:01.280
I I don't necessarily like the huge increase in the units. I mean, when you look at it on paper, it's a pretty substantial increase. Um, the fourtory component I actually don't mind because it adds uh a different class typically

193
01:01:01.280 --> 01:01:16.319
of apartments as far as price goes. when you get, you know, more of those things. Like when we're doing density and adding it to other developments, we're putting in fourstory buildings because you can charge a little bit more rent for those. Those are more expensive to maintain. Helps build the whole area up a little

194
01:01:16.319 --> 01:01:33.440
bit more. Um, so those, you know, those are components of it I think that were nice. That area is starting to get congested up quite a bit. Um, what's your timeline? You think if we say yes today? goal would probably be to start

195
01:01:33.440 --> 01:01:48.240
construction towards the end of this year, beginning of next year. Um, from that point, it's usually around 12 to 15 months to getting into first delivery. So, you're going to be into 2028 really before you get new units. Um, on the density side, we really looked at the

196
01:01:48.240 --> 01:02:05.040
existing density caps. And so, uh, in at least in discussions, we weren't aware that there were really a concern on the density side. what we were looking at and what the um zoning talks about is rentable square footage and then overall F and first floor usage and so we've

197
01:02:05.040 --> 01:02:21.599
decreased both of those significantly but we're doing them in you know again more dense building structures >> because I think what you're proposing now is more than two or two and a half times the original density that was zoned when reszone last year >> no I think it was 352 units to 396 units

198
01:02:21.599 --> 01:02:37.920
so you're talking about 10% more >> from where we started did >> before all this. Last year, I was reluctant for the previous one to go through. >> It's more dense. It keeps getting more dense. I realize that it's commercial corner. We just had the same case in

199
01:02:37.920 --> 01:02:53.920
Walsh. I get it. I'm just, you know, curious about some of the decisions that were made to take out, you know, the fourstory buildings. Um, is there an impact to what you're offering versus, uh, or does it just fit better in the area, you feel? >> I mean, it's certainly a cost issue.

200
01:02:53.920 --> 01:03:10.000
Four-story buildings require elevators and in order to do the elevator buildings, you're going to a corridor style product. And so, it's just a more urban design. When you have 17 acres, I mean, for us, we really obviously, you can see, we didn't max the site out in terms of density. And so, we really just tried to lay out something we thought

201
01:03:10.000 --> 01:03:25.440
was thoughtful that kept in line with what the previous um project was. If we were to eliminate one of those buildings, that would probably get you to a similar unit count. and then you would just have additional open space because again you'd be eliminating more and more parking. And so we really just

202
01:03:25.440 --> 01:03:42.079
tried to thoughtfully design it. We didn't design it to a unit count. We designed it more so based on laying out what we thought made sense on the site. Um we wouldn't in this case necessarily look to a four-story corridor product because that would just again it would

203
01:03:42.079 --> 01:03:58.680
bring more density stacked on top of each other and build a more expensive product that yes it would require higher rents but those rents don't exist in that market. So we don't necessarily see the ability to charge the rents for the higher more expensive product there.

204
01:03:59.119 --> 01:04:17.280
>> Okay. Thanks. Any other questions? >> One one question. Um, you know, I think the the only thing that um is of concern is the the proposed building on the northwest

205
01:04:17.280 --> 01:04:34.640
um part of the site and its proximity to residential in the setback. Um, looks like maybe you could redesign that so that and solve that problem easily by extending the building just south of it

206
01:04:34.640 --> 01:04:51.839
um on the west side and make that a smaller building on the northwest side. You have better sight lines and u you wouldn't be looking over people's backyards. >> So the way that they and that's a great

207
01:04:51.839 --> 01:05:08.799
point the way that I have a on this. The way that that building orients um the units face north and south of the plan, not east and west. And so when you talk about units looking over somebody's backyard, we wouldn't have a case where you have balconies or you have unit or

208
01:05:08.799 --> 01:05:25.280
people sitting out actually looking into those backyards, that would be the side of the unit. Um we really that connection point off collection was previously identified in the previous site plan as was the same off of Champion Parkway. So again, in an effort to keep the character of the building

209
01:05:25.280 --> 01:05:42.480
the same, we kept the uh entrances at the same point. Um, and we can look at what the setback is, but we're I mean, we're still obviously in line with the setbacks required under the zoning. And so we can certainly look

210
01:05:42.480 --> 01:05:59.839
at uh redesigning that building if that's a concern. looking at it. Isn't it a sighteline problem on that building? >> And you're speaking of looking down from the uh from the upper units

211
01:05:59.839 --> 01:06:17.520
and I believe it was just a third story, but to but uh to your point there, I I can see what you're you know looking at there. Yes. >> All right. Uh thank you very much for your time. >> Sure. >> And uh I'll close the public hearing and

212
01:06:17.520 --> 01:06:36.400
leave it open for some discussion or a motion. And Commissioner Worman, this is your case. >> Yeah, these are the the tricky ones when we come in and start >> I remember we got this the first time and you were >> you start amending site plans and like, oh, it's not so bad. Oh, it's just a little bit more.

213
01:06:36.400 --> 01:06:52.559
>> You know, I mean, look, it's going to go through at council. It doesn't matter what we do up here. I'll be real honest. >> There there is more open space. >> Yeah. I mean, there's that part. >> There's definitely benefits to it. Don't get me wrong. >> Yeah. Like I I'm not opposed to the idea of this being there at all. It's just the concern was raised last year, the

214
01:06:52.559 --> 01:07:10.079
year before that. Are we making this just like Presidio where it is just there's 5,000 units right down there and it is traffic hell seven days a week and this is a very tight spot and they're about to rip 114 apart. So, um just you

215
01:07:10.079 --> 01:07:25.359
know, always trying to preserve that commercial land when we can. We lost this one. Now we're losing it a little bit more. I do I do like the open space for sure. I'm not I'm not upset about it. I just wish it was less units. So I I don't have much to say about it beyond that. I'm ready to make a motion.

216
01:07:25.359 --> 01:07:42.319
All right. Go for it. For SP26-006, I move for approval. >> Second. >> All right. We have a motion to approve by Commissioner Worman and a second by Commissioner Rogers. >> Commissioners, how do you vote?

217
01:07:42.319 --> 01:07:57.680
Chairperson Reigns. >> I. Commissioner Trujillo. >> Hi. >> Commissioner Welch. >> Hi. >> Commissioner McCoy. >> Hi. >> Commissioner Edmonds. >> Hi. >> Commissioner Robinson. >> Hi. >> Commissioner Pierce. >> Commissioner Rogers.

218
01:07:57.680 --> 01:08:21.359
>> I. >> Commissioner Warman. >> I. >> And Commissioner Castro. >> I. >> With a vote of 10 to zero. The motion passes. Next case ZC-26-013. The address is 1509-1521 Circle Park Boulevard and

219
01:08:21.359 --> 01:08:37.440
1506 through520 Lincoln Avenue. The applicant is Premier Baptist Church, Irma Park LLC, Megan Lash, and Abby Penner. The request is from CF Community Facilities to PDUR

220
01:08:37.440 --> 01:08:53.679
plan development for all uses in urban residential excluding government office facility, museum, library or fine arts center, hospice, country club, private golf course, one family detached dwellings, one family attached

221
01:08:53.679 --> 01:09:09.759
dwellings, one family zero lot line attached or detached dwellings, two family detached dwellings and/or duplex. X slash two family attached dwellings with development standards for no rear yard setback, no individual entries for street level residential units and 93

222
01:09:09.759 --> 01:09:25.679
parking spaces, site plan included. >> Welcome to the zoning commission and thank you for uh stepping up here early. >> I follow instructions well, so I wanted to make sure I did that correctly. Okay, so good afternoon commissioners. My name is Reggie Jennings. I'm here on behalf of the applicant. So we'll go ahead and

223
01:09:25.679 --> 01:09:42.880
get started, get to our application presentation. All right. So, here we have MA Park and just a brief uh background on the applicant. So, Oza Industries is a Texas based um and womanowned firm with a long history of experience when it comes to affordable

224
01:09:42.880 --> 01:09:58.320
housing and the preservation of different asset uh types when it comes to affordable housing. We're not foreign to Fort Worth. Have seven developments and you'll see some of those within our presentation as well. We utilize the housing tax credit program, federal and

225
01:09:58.320 --> 01:10:14.480
state tax credits, and uh we're pr proud to announce and just say in general that we have housed over 3,000 families across Texas. As we know, affordable housing is important um in this landscape that we're living today. And when it comes to just our overall company just standards and how we go

226
01:10:14.480 --> 01:10:30.080
about doing business, we maintain long-term ownership within our communities, right? So, we're just not in-n-out developers. We're here to make sure these uh properties stay up to code, stay up to speed, and are well served for those residents. We use um federal and state best practices when it

227
01:10:30.080 --> 01:10:46.960
comes to hiring local contractors to continue to have those communities thrive and have those res in that community be what's best for what they need to be. All right, so Park, I know there's a lot written in the um docket packet, so I won't go through all of these, but just some highlight points

228
01:10:46.960 --> 01:11:02.400
here. So, I park currently is Premier Baptist Church. Um, it's going to be a conversive reuse um to senior affordable housing, which will be 55 years of age and older. Across our portfolio, when it comes to our senior housing, we're

229
01:11:02.400 --> 01:11:18.800
looking at roughly an age of 67 years of age and older. Um, we're going to keep the three, and you'll see on the site plan, the three buildings that are on the site, plus have a new one-story construction building. I'll get into that here in a second. There'll be 84

230
01:11:18.800 --> 01:11:34.480
units made up of one and twobedroom units and the majority of that unit count will be onebedroom units. So 70 75% of the unit count will be onebedroom units. From a historic standpoint, we're actually in the process of getting our

231
01:11:34.480 --> 01:11:50.640
registered on the national historic uh designation registry and we have our determination of eligibility letter from the historic commission as well. So, I'll pause here for a second, let you all look at obviously the three buildings, but there's a sea of parking right there, and I'll talk about that

232
01:11:50.640 --> 01:12:05.600
here in a second. Um, and just how this will all play out as we move forward in this conversation. So, just some of the feedback you heard over in work session from Enrique who did a great job with this presentation. Um, we've been through an extensive process when it comes to getting to this

233
01:12:05.600 --> 01:12:23.440
point. Today we've met with ACL and the UDC and from both those uh commissions we've received unanimous approval when it comes to the AC overlay and for the requested waivers and as mentioned in work session not going to dive too deep in them but the three requested waiverss

234
01:12:23.440 --> 01:12:39.760
we have was a rear yard primary structure setback which in lamest terms we would have to move the building physically to do that and I'm not sure that the community would want that and I know for sure as develops we don't want to do that as well That'll take quite a bit of time. Parking spaces, we've asked

235
01:12:39.760 --> 01:12:55.920
for that reduction because historically seniors don't drive or have cars that often, right? Or they car pool. So, and as you saw on the previous slide, a sea of parking, having that many parking slots there just wouldn't be advantageous for the development. And then from an individual street oriented

236
01:12:55.920 --> 01:13:11.360
uh entry points, we've had numerous meetings with community members and the seniors spoke up and spoke out and said, "Hey, safety is a concern of us." Having those walk up units directly into our actual units off the street is not something that we're a fan of. We heard

237
01:13:11.360 --> 01:13:27.440
them, we listened, we requested that waiver. We're happy to announce and say that we got that approved by the UDC. As you know in your packet, we're currently zone community facilities and are looking to be uh reszoned to plan development urban residential and

238
01:13:27.440 --> 01:13:43.440
obviously here today pinning a vote from you all and then this will along with the um UDC and ACL will be packaged together and it will go to city council for a vote in June. So why are we reszoning to the PD and

239
01:13:43.440 --> 01:14:00.320
UR? Um, first and foremost to continue to expand the housing options within the north side, right? Majority of the housing options in north side are single family homes. We got some town homes from here and there. So, just continuing to just be able to enhance and make sure residents have an opportunity to uh stay

240
01:14:00.320 --> 01:14:15.280
there, right? We know that sometimes when seniors are living in single family homes, they want to downsize and some for most for not for most of us, for a good portion of them, going down to an apartment complex is the best use for them as well. also providing them with that opportunity. Um, and what we've

241
01:14:15.280 --> 01:14:31.679
come to learn and know about the north side, they're big on their history. They have a very strong cultural and uh, community- based foundation. So, understanding that this church has been around for quite some time, 1900 time frame, right? So, it's seen the test of

242
01:14:31.679 --> 01:14:49.440
time across in America from the Great Depression, World Wars, things of that nature. If I'm not mistaken, um it was there prior it was annexed if I'm not mistaken, Megan. Um from Fort Worth before it got actually became a part of Fort Worth. So it's a long history of uh

243
01:14:49.440 --> 01:15:05.199
there for that community. So we want to make sure we preserve that and keep that site intact. Um one of the things we want to do with the plan development portion is protect the community, right? So by restricting certain uses. Um, and you see that there and it was listed obviously in the packet and there's an

244
01:15:05.199 --> 01:15:21.040
asterisk as you can see next to single family duplex and town homes throughout our numerous meetings that we have had with community members. They speak about are our properties has going to go up. Our direct answer is no because you can't compare a multif family apartment

245
01:15:21.040 --> 01:15:34.880
complex to a single family home. It doesn't go like that. So in order to ensure that, you know, god forbid this did not go forward, whoever came in behind us would have to adhere to something that wouldn't negatively impact them going down the line. Urban

246
01:15:34.880 --> 01:15:52.400
residential, as noted in section 4.713A, we're looking to promote walkability, architectural diversity, which is going to be there because of the when it was constructed and all those things, and then providing affordable housing and mixed income communities.

247
01:15:52.400 --> 01:16:08.080
And just from the simplest term, the CF designation, our proposed development does not obviously fit its primary use, which is based in health, safety, and education. One piece. Go ahead. That's my >> Sorry, you uh No, you you've got about a minute left. I was just going to warn

248
01:16:08.080 --> 01:16:23.199
you in case you wanted to speed up or >> Yeah, I could do that. Yeah. So, >> good thing we'll be on the tax roll, so we're adding to the tax base. I know that's always a good thing to say when you're here as well. So, that's a fact. So, here's a proposed uh site plan. I'll speed through this real quick. You'll see that in the purple, dark blue on the

249
01:16:23.199 --> 01:16:39.520
right side of the plan. Those uh existing builds will stay and they will be uh renovated. Key additions. We're adding uh plenty of trees, proper lighting across the property, and drives. It's going to be a green space down there that we're actually actively working with the community to uh figure out how to best program that for them

250
01:16:39.520 --> 01:16:54.880
and for those seniors. Once again, the landscaping plan, plenty of trees, lighting, good function and flow when it comes in to being in and out of the property, some elevations. And this part of uh the

251
01:16:54.880 --> 01:17:12.320
development um is right next to a single film development and it'll be able to be at a reasonable height. >> Now, your final thoughts. >> Final thoughts. Obviously, we're here to um best support and uh provide an opportunity for the residents to stay

252
01:17:12.320 --> 01:17:29.360
within um North Side. Um keeping a historic aspect of this building is important and uh just making sure that we're here to best uh support and hear from the community members. So, thanks for your time. >> Thank you, Reggie. And uh Mayor Reges here for questions. Okay. And we don't

253
01:17:29.360 --> 01:17:46.000
have anybody here in opposition. So, um do you all have any uh questions? is pursuing local historical designation as well. >> Yes, sir. >> Yes, sir. >> Did I miss it? But is the new proposed building, the one-story building, is

254
01:17:46.000 --> 01:18:03.360
that for common space, living units? >> Uh, living units, ma'am. >> All ma'am. There's really no common space like >> there will be common space within the development. So, within some of the other uh buildings? Yes, ma'am. Great question. >> All right. Thank you very much. Uh,

255
01:18:03.360 --> 01:18:18.159
we'll close the public hearing at this time and Commissioner Trillo, do you want some comments or any commissioners have comments? >> I think it's great. It's a good project. I love the fact they added a little park in there that the whole community can

256
01:18:18.159 --> 01:18:34.960
use. So, yeah, I like it. >> Okay. For ZZ26-013, I move for approval. >> Second. >> All right. We have a motion to approve by Commissioner Trillo and a second by Commissioner Robinson. Commissioners, how do you vote?

269
01:22:09.040 --> 01:22:26.400
Hobt. The request is from unzoned to CF Community Facilities. >> Hi, good afternoon commission Wes Hobble with master plan consultants. You're representing Holy Redeemer Catholic Parish. Really just a annexation to

270
01:22:26.400 --> 01:22:41.520
absorb the existing church into the city of Fort Worth. Looking to get utilities, water, and sewer. So we are requesting about a little under 31 acres to be annexed into the city. The star is where it is right now. Obviously we are abudded on three sides by city of Fort

271
01:22:41.520 --> 01:22:58.080
Worth uh current right now with the two alledo schools to the north wall ranch to the southwest and then also to the uh direct south as morning star to our direct east. We've been around since 2008 um and just want to go to CF. So

272
01:22:58.080 --> 01:23:15.280
hopefully to conform around to the two existing CF zoning. We went to CPC a couple weeks ago. They approved us unanimously for uh CF changing it from the residential. So this is what it looked like in 2008 when we were starting construction and uh it's pretty lonely out there. So uh we added some

273
01:23:15.280 --> 01:23:32.080
residential a little bit with Morning Star to the east and then you can see Walsh Ranch and then really here in 2026 it's become a lot more developed with more development on the way as you saw with the previous cases today. So, we reached out to the uh three groups that are most affected or impacted here. Morning Star, no concerns. Walsh Ranch

274
01:23:32.080 --> 01:23:47.840
did not want to hold a neighborhood meeting. They didn't warrant it. Uh they figured it was not really worth their time for an annexation for a church. So, I've asked a couple times and got the same answer. Also reached out to Alto ISD, talked to their CFO and their chief facilities and construction officer. Talked to them multiple times on the

275
01:23:47.840 --> 01:24:03.440
phone. They did not have any issues with this at all. Not going to affect their current operations. Here's the property as it exists today facing to the north uh facing east where we can see the Aido property ISD school facing to the west where it's pretty open. You can't even see the existing development over there

276
01:24:03.440 --> 01:24:21.360
with Morning Star. And uh that's it. So we're pretty straightforward and happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you. >> And West is uh looks like you have someone else signed up. Is that just for questions? >> Yes, that's correct. >> All right. Very good. And uh surprise surprise, there's no opposition for this case. Uh so uh we are open for questions

277
01:24:21.360 --> 01:24:39.040
if you have any. Sounds like a pretty cut and dry case. Uh all right. Seeing none, we'll close this part of the hearing. Uh thank you, Wes. And Commissioner Welch is believe this is yours. >> All right. In the case of ZC-26-044,

278
01:24:39.040 --> 01:24:54.960
I move for approval. >> Second. >> Right. We have a motion to approve by Commissioner Welch and a second by Commissioner McCoy. >> Commissioners, how do you vote? Chairperson Reigns. >> Hi, >> Commissioner Trillo. >> Hi, >> Commissioner Welch. >> Hi, >> Commissioner McCoy. >> Hi,

279
01:24:54.960 --> 01:25:11.080
>> Commissioner Edmonds. >> Hi, >> Commissioner Robinson. >> I >> Commissioner Pierce, >> Commissioner Rogers, >> I. >> Commissioner Wman, >> I. >> And Commissioner Castro, >> I. >> With a vote of 10 to zero, the motion passes.

280
01:25:11.600 --> 01:25:29.520
Next case, CC-26-048. The address is 1800 Alta Mesa Boulevard. Applicant is Hillrest LLC, Macinhoover Engineering, and surveying Dylan Marshall. The request is to add a conditional use permit for an automated

281
01:25:29.520 --> 01:25:47.040
car wash and FR general commercial restricted and F general commercial site plan included. >> Welcome to the zoning commission. Uh Brandon Osmire. I'm with Quick Trip. Uh Bubble Bath is our new venture or newish venture. We're looking for a cup

282
01:25:47.040 --> 01:26:10.239
here. Uh or I didn't get my presentation in time, so she's going to put it on the slideshow for me. Beth is while you're looking for that, I don't have a speaker form. So when you're done, you'll just grab one, just fill

283
01:26:10.239 --> 01:26:29.920
one out when you're when you're done. >> So this is going to be our proposed bubble bath car wash. It's part of the Quick Trip brand. This is something we started here the last 10 years. We've really done our research and move forward with this before we've got heavy into this.

284
01:26:29.920 --> 01:26:47.600
If we can go to the next uh slide. Some of the new stuff we're or the stuff we're doing for this each location will create about 15 jobs and we do a lot of promoting within I'd say probably 80% of the company is when you get out of the stores or in the bubble bath will be the same is all former store employees as of

285
01:26:47.600 --> 01:27:04.000
right now. Uh we commit to 100% of retail profits from the grand opening to a local charity which will work with the neighbors and HOAs and see who that bus should go to. uh bubble bath car works will work with uh the local field uh officials to continue helping the

286
01:27:04.000 --> 01:27:20.639
community it serves. As far as any of the environmental stuff, it's pretty standard here from what we're doing. Uh we reclaim most all the water we can here. Standard car wash that we do is 14 to 22 gallons. If you do it at your house, it's around 116

287
01:27:20.639 --> 01:27:37.679
gallons. And that's with a standard 20-minute car wash. The reclaimed water is used to lubricate the brushes and rinse the vehicles all the way through. We use browgradable soaps and waxes, you know, by the national standards, car solution standards.

288
01:27:37.679 --> 01:27:55.440
I know some of the questions. Can you go to the next slide, please, B? I always have about the blowers and the noise. The rollers do not run all day. They only run when a car is going through there at the end. If there's no cars there, they're not running. Uh we close when the sun goes down at the

289
01:27:55.440 --> 01:28:14.960
latest. This isn't an open car wash that's there for people to wash their cars 24/7. Uh we enclose our dryers in the building to reduce the noise. We are less than 80% decimal at the street. You can see what the uh elevations look like here for the car wash. We've done

290
01:28:14.960 --> 01:28:33.679
all masonary on this one to blend in with the area and upgrade this one from our standard eus that we usually use. site plan here. We do uh we ended up flipping this site. We did have the tunnel up against the 25 foot setback. We flipped this to get the tunnel away.

291
01:28:33.679 --> 01:28:49.360
And with this being part of the Quick Trip family, you know, we're blowing most of that noise from the tunnel out onto our own property. I know there was some concerns about uh sound barriers from the 25 ft to the residential here. That's something we're definitely willing to work with. we put any sort of sound barrier up or right now we show a

292
01:28:49.360 --> 01:29:04.880
proposed 8ft fence double-sided like we have behind the quick trip. Uh what we would be proposed to do is any sort of sound wall that would you know help move this along and as much landscaping as needed there to deaden any sound from the residential behind there to the north of us. Uh I know we talked there

293
01:29:04.880 --> 01:29:20.480
was some talk about maybe flipping this north and south. We looked at that. We just couldn't make it work with the tunnel configuration we have. There's just not enough turn radius there for that. Uh this is Quick Trip's first submitt on this. You know the G or the you know gas stations of our bread and

294
01:29:20.480 --> 01:29:35.360
butter and we've just started the bell bath stuff here recently. So I don't think we have but four or five in development in the DFW area and we have a lot more down south. The company we bought was out of San Antonio. So we've got about 30 or 40 down there right now.

295
01:29:35.360 --> 01:29:52.560
Uh I said we're willing to work with any residential stuff to help with this to any sound deadening to help that. That's easy stuff to give there. we're more and willing to work with that. Our store has been there for 26 years. We've never had any residential complaints from anybody. Um, one thing we did do, we did speak to

296
01:29:52.560 --> 01:30:09.639
the school next door. Our initial conversation has been very good. There's no opposition there and they're working on writing us a letter and we do not have a fence on that side. There is a fence that they have there, but that's something we'd be willing to work with there also.

297
01:30:09.679 --> 01:30:25.600
>> Very good. Any questions for the applicant before we bring in the opposition? >> Just one quick question. In the workshop, um we were told that the um timing on it would be like it be open 7

298
01:30:25.600 --> 01:30:42.880
to 7 or 8. >> Yes, sir. >> It just depends on the time of year. We're not going to open at dark. People usually don't wash their cars and everything at night. So, in the winter time, we'll close earlier. In the summertime, we'll have longer hours. All right. Very good. Thank you very much.

299
01:30:42.880 --> 01:30:57.520
And at this time, we'll bring up the opposition. We believe we have three people signed up to speak. Um, and just a reminder to the opposition, y'all have a total of seven minutes shared. So, just if uh somebody brings up a point, you know, you may just skip that uh if

300
01:30:57.520 --> 01:31:16.800
it's already been said. But uh we'll bring up uh Steve. >> Welcome. Hello, my name is Steve Epstein. I'm representing the Hallmark Camel Highland Terrace Neighborhood Association. Uh uh you should have something in your correspondence from

301
01:31:16.800 --> 01:31:32.719
us. Uh we have several reservations about this. We we hope that there will be a denial of this request. Uh when um we met with the Mr. by on March 19th. U

302
01:31:32.719 --> 01:31:47.920
we voted as a neighborhood and it was a unanimous vote to oppose this much like we opposed ZZ21-146 which was a case in 2021 at the same location. That that was denied also and

303
01:31:47.920 --> 01:32:04.880
we hope the same today. Um um we're concerned that the proposed car wash is too close to existing residents along Limestone Trail just north of the parcel. Um there are uh second there are four existing car washes in our neighborhood. One of them is less than

304
01:32:04.880 --> 01:32:20.239
1,000 ft away. It's in the 2100 block of Altamea Boulevard. So we are we're overs subscribed with car washes. And I just want to make sure I want to leave time for other PE speakers, but you should have something in your correspondence from another neighborhood association,

305
01:32:20.239 --> 01:32:38.560
Edgecliffe, uh, getting the signatures of many residents immediately affected to the north of this site. Thank you. >> Very good. Thank you very much for your comments. And I've got a uh, Veronica, >> I'll condense myself and Mayor Bartley. So, my name is Veronica Gamboa and I'm

306
01:32:38.560 --> 01:32:55.120
the city administrator for the town of Edgecliffe Village. um we're here to speak on behalf of our residents that back up to that property. Uh their their concern is their property value is going to be going down because of this or the

307
01:32:55.120 --> 01:33:12.719
potential of it going down. Um the noise and also the increase of traffic. Uh so we are here today just to ask for you to consider them and their property um and deny this request. Very good. And are you Sammy?

308
01:33:12.719 --> 01:33:29.760
>> I'm Sammy Barkley. >> Very good. >> I'm the mayor of Edgecliffe. And yes, uh I will say this, uh QT has been a very good neighbor to us and we have the school, but I am concerned about our residents and the noise and he

309
01:33:29.760 --> 01:33:47.040
said that it would be open according to u how much it was used and a lot of our people don't they need to go have their rest. a lot of we have a lot of elderly people and then we have young couples also that are moving in and if it's open

310
01:33:47.040 --> 01:34:02.800
late at night um it can draw music and crowds and we're just asking that the city of Fort Worth continue to make that a good neighbor as they have been in the past. We would appreciate it if you would deny

311
01:34:02.800 --> 01:34:19.679
this for that reason. >> Thank you, mayor, and thank you for your service. >> May I ask before you sit down, Mayor Um, gentleman, the applicant mentioned that he would be willing to do a couple of things that aren't really uh were not

312
01:34:19.679 --> 01:34:37.600
presented to us in the workshop. One was that he would build a sound wall between the development and the neighborhood. and second that he would entertain um and we could make it a part of our motion if we needed to um that it be

313
01:34:37.600 --> 01:34:54.800
properly landscaped. Would that change your feelings about the project? >> Uh not necessarily because of as Mr. Epstein said, we already have all of the car washes. Uh, but I would have a lot

314
01:34:54.800 --> 01:35:12.960
of reservations about that to see what he was really going to do. >> May I add, may I also add that we're we're not opposed to businesses being there, >> but we do have a car wash that is in Edgecliffe and it will impact that business and it does impact our sales

315
01:35:12.960 --> 01:35:30.320
tax as well, which, you know, we are a small city. So, >> all right, thank you for your comments. Uh any other questions for the opposite? >> Do you guys have any current complaints related to noise with the existing quick trip there from residents?

316
01:35:30.320 --> 01:35:47.280
>> Not. No, we don't. I mean, we do have some uh complaints in reference to some problems every once in a while where Tarant County has to respond because that's who our policing services are through. So, >> all right. Very good. Thank you very

317
01:35:47.280 --> 01:36:02.560
much. Uh, and then now you've got, uh, two minutes to, uh, have your final comments if you want to counter any of that. >> Uh, I would like to focus a little bit on our security system, too. They've talked about that. We have a state-of-the-art security system that an

318
01:36:02.560 --> 01:36:18.080
actual ex- colonel, he just retired last week, developed, and the FBI has investigated this and looked at our security system. That's going to be tied in directly to our QuickRip. It's part of the whole thing. We're not going to even bring a new fiber line in. We'll run that straight to the quick trip next door and tie into that system. So, there

319
01:36:18.080 --> 01:36:34.080
is 24-hour surveillance here. That's one of the good things as far as, you know, there's a car wash, thousand feet from there. Yes, there is. We've done our research here. I mean, the demand is for a car wash. We're not, you know, bringing traffic there. It's we're coming to the traffic is what we're

320
01:36:34.080 --> 01:36:50.800
looking for. Uh, and as far as that, we're willing to work with anybody and, you know, do anything we can to, you know, help move this along. There's a, you know, there's a demand for a car wash here and that's why we're here. And, you know, we lean heavily on our Quick Trip. Like I said, it's been there 26 years. You can look at the condition

321
01:36:50.800 --> 01:37:06.400
it is and the kind of care we do. And, you know, they're talking about community. Yes, we're providing a lot of jobs here with the ability to move up and that is crucial to me to my community where I live at. I mean, it's easy to get promoted here with a little hard work. That's all I got. Is there any other

322
01:37:06.400 --> 01:37:23.920
question? >> Pearson, too. Oh, somebody did you hit your button? >> Hello. >> There you go. >> Thank you, Fred. Okay, so you were saying that um just a couple of things

323
01:37:23.920 --> 01:37:42.560
that you the 15 jobs. So I understand that the border lines edge clip, but you're in the city of Fort Worth, correct? >> Yes. >> Okay. Uh the corridor of Alto Mesa is extremely busy and you said something significant is that the traffic is already there. Um, have you spoken to I

324
01:37:42.560 --> 01:37:59.360
didn't I don't recall but have you had a lot of engagement with the the neighborhood associations that are in the area or >> we've worked with Steve we had we did have one meeting and I've gone back and millia but that is the extent we've had with that and I've spoken with the school next door >> and >> have not spoke to the initial residents

325
01:37:59.360 --> 01:38:15.600
to the north >> and you said that you did a traffic study correct >> we have not done a traffic study what we do is our research for traffic counts so we have not done a true TIA as of at this point but what we to internally for our process to pick sites and we look at to see if we're willing to invest that type of money. We look at the traffic

326
01:38:15.600 --> 01:38:30.719
that's already there. If the traffic's not there, we're not a destination site. So, we're looking for a place that already has the traffic that's going to come through. >> What about marketing marketing and feasibility studies? You did? >> Yes, we do that internally. Yes, ma'am. >> Did you share that with the neighborhoods?

327
01:38:30.719 --> 01:38:46.639
>> No, that's stuff that's proprietary. >> Proprietary. >> Okay. Thank you. Oh, and then uh you were saying uh one of the neighborhoods made a comment about the hours of operation. So, you'll be open from 7 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Correct. >> Basically, dust to dawn, just depending

328
01:38:46.639 --> 01:39:02.719
on the timing to hang out after and work on your car, vacuum your car. Once we close, the whole facility is closed and we'll have employees there that will shut everything down. That'll be the end of it. And QT, I mean, we're going to be the same business. So, we will have the

329
01:39:02.719 --> 01:39:17.920
store employees there that are there 24/7 and the 247 uh surveillance monitor. >> Right. And that was my next point. The QT is open 24 hours a day with traffic and I I know their corridor well and the noise and the busy Alto Mesa. They're

330
01:39:17.920 --> 01:39:33.920
there seven days a week and you will be there open from 7 to 8 >> generally. Yes. >> But the neighborhoods don't have a problem with QT. Okay. Thank you. >> Right. Any other questions? >> I just got one. Um so this site has been

331
01:39:33.920 --> 01:39:50.400
tallied to re redevelopment has been denied. Um so what do you what's going to make the difference what you're doing with the previous uh applicants done? >> Uh being part of the quick trip family. It's going to be under our umbrella. So we're going to take care of this site different like I said right off the bat

332
01:39:50.400 --> 01:40:05.440
from security. We're not buying this land and building a car wash to turn around and flip in a few years. This is a whole business development we have with our quick trip. Like I said, we're going to work, you know, within and have our own employees to work and build the community and help the community with

333
01:40:05.440 --> 01:40:22.159
jobs and everything else. This isn't something that's, you know, a fly by night deal or something. Like I said, we bought this about 10 years ago uh in San Antonio. I think there was 12 stores. We've really done a lot of research before we decided to gear up and really push this forward.

334
01:40:22.159 --> 01:40:38.080
>> Here's the concern I have is that ideal school you're talking about. I I've gone through there and kids walk from that to go to that neighborhood behind that's behind the QT. So, how are you going to prevent from those kids getting into some kind of accident with a car coming

335
01:40:38.080 --> 01:40:54.480
out? Cuz even I've had an issue out of this QT because I' I've shopped there. Cars coming out of there that long little road and going back on Alto Mesa. They are flying through there. And my other concern is the egress going in and out with cars going in and out of there.

336
01:40:54.480 --> 01:41:10.400
How are you going to manage that? >> I mean, as far as that goes, like I said, the traffic's there. I don't think we're going to really generate any traffic. >> Well, I mean, it's for the crossing here and put striping and possible mirrors up for the people to see and warning signs. >> As far as that, I mean, this isn't a

337
01:41:10.400 --> 01:41:26.719
true walkway through this person's property right here as of right now. Coming through here. So, true walkway is down ultimason up to get to the neighborhood. We'll do anything we need to to, you know, satisfy any sort of safety concerns. That's, you know, one of our number one's concerns is safety. >> Yeah. Because that school, a lot of see

338
01:41:26.719 --> 01:41:43.119
kids walking from that ideal school and there's no sidewalks over there. And >> that is one of the things I talked about with Jason Fitzgerald, the principal is making sure that this is safety and working out stuff to make sure every kid's safe there. >> Okay. >> There's a sidewalk that goes all the way down and all the way up to the neighborhood right there on the side of

339
01:41:43.119 --> 01:41:58.960
ours. >> Here's a here's a maybe a suggestion. Maybe you might want to reconsider. Go back to the neighborhoods. Bring all the people involved. the homeowner association ideal edgewood and say hey what do you want to how can we make this go forward because right now you got a

340
01:41:58.960 --> 01:42:14.800
lot of opposition on it and for me sitting here I I can't say yay or nay on it because I see what the impact is you're bumped up against the houses and you got traffic coming in and out of Alam Mesa and I mean I know I avoid this

341
01:42:14.800 --> 01:42:30.880
in the evenings so that's just my suggestion to All right. Uh, thank you very much. At this time, we will, uh, close the public hearing and, uh, leave it up for some discussion or a vote. Commissioner Pierce, you do you want some comments or

342
01:42:30.880 --> 01:42:47.159
do you you ready? >> I don't see an issue with it. I mean, they're going to create 15 jobs and that those could be jobs for the kids in the summer. What? I'm sorry. What What would be the age requirements for to work at the at the car wash?

343
01:42:54.159 --> 01:43:10.400
right? Because there's a car wash in my neighborhood and I love how they do a lot of things in the community and they employ a lot of the teenagers in the summertime. So, I'm looking at it as a progressive move forward. I know that area well and it's already a lot of traffic. I don't see the difference. And no disrespect to the city of Edgewood,

344
01:43:10.400 --> 01:43:27.760
but this is the city of Fort Worth. And I'm I'm looking at the fact that the QT has been there over 20 years with all the noise, the loud music, uh you name it. You know what goes on at QT. Uh and they don't have a problem with that. And I don't see I don't I don't see the

345
01:43:27.760 --> 01:43:44.560
problem with um you've gone through the due diligence with the city of Fort Worth, okay? And the jobs that you would bring to that area. I feel that it will be asset to the community to be able to have a car wash and be able to create jobs for the kids. And as far as there being so many car washes, we know the

346
01:43:44.560 --> 01:44:01.760
population growth with the city of Fort Worth and that area is growing and the traffic is going to continue to grow. So I'll move for approval. >> Uh is that is that a motion? >> Yes, sir. Okay. >> One thing I would recommend is ensuring in the site plan that there is adequate screening and fencing on that side of

347
01:44:01.760 --> 01:44:16.239
the houses. >> Yeah. Can we amend that to adequately provided. >> Do you want Do you want to go with it? As you already made the motion, so >> I did. I made the motion. >> All right. Time out. >> Well, there there's a motion on the floor. So, if we don't have a second, it'll

348
01:44:16.239 --> 01:44:36.159
>> go away. >> All right. Well, we have a motion on the floor. So, uh motion to approve um by Commissioner Pierce and seconded by uh Commissioner Edmonds. Pardon me.

349
01:44:36.159 --> 01:44:52.239
>> Commissioners, how do you vote? >> Chairperson Reigns. >> Nay. >> Commissioner Trujillo. >> Nay. >> Commissioner Welch. >> I. >> Commissioner McCoy. >> Nay.

350
01:44:52.239 --> 01:45:07.840
>> Commissioner Edmonds. >> Hi. I'm sorry. >> Hi. >> Commissioner Robinson. >> Nay. Commissioner Pierce. >> Yes.

351
01:45:07.840 --> 01:45:26.760
>> Commissioner Rogers. >> Hi. >> Commissioner Worman. >> I. >> Commissioner Castro. >> Nay. >> With a vote of five to six. The motion fails.

352
01:45:26.880 --> 01:45:55.199
>> I'm sorry. With a vote of five to five, the motion fails. double checked it. Five. Okay. Real quick before we move on, she made a motion. And I I just wanted to point out for everybody that's here, there's a whole list of

353
01:45:55.199 --> 01:46:12.000
other things that can go on this site. Now, they're not there yet because it's not the greatest site, but somebody will try at some point. And this feels like the very best option. It's a huge national chain that protects their assets. Um,

354
01:46:12.000 --> 01:46:29.280
as far as the screening and everything else goes, u I was going to ask that question um just real quick just to make sure we know what the standards are, but there's no waiverss being requested. There's like they're ready to build it as we require. and it's it's the very best and highest

355
01:46:29.280 --> 01:46:48.239
that's available. >> To your point, it's something eventually is going to be built. >> Yeah. No, it's I just >> and it makes logical sense. And then again, like I said, to be able to employ those children, kids need something to do in the summertime, right? And so, you know, it's already But I

356
01:46:48.239 --> 01:47:02.960
>> So, we can we can do another motion. >> No, no, it's it's already done. It's already done. We're going to have >> 55. So, that's okay. Okay. All I wanted to do was >> point of order. >> Chris, hold on one second. Let's make sure. >> I I I believe under if unless we have

357
01:47:02.960 --> 01:47:18.639
some internal rule, the the um rules of procedure um are that someone from the um declining side can make a motion to approve.

358
01:47:18.639 --> 01:47:36.239
>> Hold on one second. >> Mr. Robert's rules of order. >> One second, please. Uh, so the rule is as stated is a member of the prevailing party, so the motion to deny. Someone who voted uh nay would have to make a

359
01:47:36.239 --> 01:47:52.400
motion to reconsider. Once that motion to reconsider is then put on the table, it would need a second and then a vote. If the vote moves forward, that motion to reconsider gets approved. Then a new motion to approve can be offered to the

360
01:47:52.400 --> 01:48:09.360
board. So that is the process it goes. So you need someone from the denial to offer a motion to reconsider. So that is going to be your first question. >> So if we do an offer reconsider, can we add anything to that motion? >> So it's just for the motion to

361
01:48:09.360 --> 01:48:25.520
reconsider. >> So we can add anything. That is the first part in order to even entertain a new motion to approve with additional conditions. So there needs to be a motion to app uh reconsider from the prevailing party. Someone from the deny. >> So did somebody that voted to deny.

362
01:48:25.520 --> 01:48:40.719
Would you like to >> I'd like to make a motion to reconsider for ZZ26-48. >> Second. >> Okay. We have a motion to reconsider uh by Commissioner Trillo and a second by Commissioner um Robinson.

363
01:48:40.719 --> 01:48:57.199
Commissioners, how do you vote? Chairperson Reigns. >> I. >> Commissioner Trujillo. >> Hi. >> Commissioner Welch. >> Hi. >> Commissioner McCoy. >> Nay. >> Commissioner Edmonds. >> Hi. >> Commissioner Robinson. >> Hi. >> I. >> Commissioner Pierce.

364
01:48:57.199 --> 01:49:12.560
>> I. >> Commissioner Rogers. >> Hi. >> Commissioner Worman. >> I. >> Commissioner Castro. >> I. >> With a vote of 9 to one. Motion passes. Okay. So now um we can if this

365
01:49:12.560 --> 01:49:27.040
>> Chris >> there can be if there's someone one you could do uh a new motion with any conditions there can be a discussion prior to making that motion. >> Um but those are your two options as it stands right now. So okay if someone has

366
01:49:27.040 --> 01:49:42.159
a motion ready or if there's any further discussion to make a motion that that is where we're at right now in the process. >> May I finish my discussion point? Sorry, I I couldn't let you because because there was already a motion on the form. We had to vote on that. So, >> No, no, that's fine. After we voted, I

367
01:49:42.159 --> 01:49:58.719
just wanted to say like I do want to make sure that the reasoning why we make any sort of recommendation is very transparent to everybody out here. And sometimes the very best fit is not what is what we would all love to see, but it's what we're going to get. I just

368
01:49:58.719 --> 01:50:15.440
wanted to make sure that it was clear as to why there may have been um more people voting for it than you would normally think in a car wash case. Those are not the most popular in the city of Fort Worth. Um this just happens to be one of those times when it is the best fit and

369
01:50:15.440 --> 01:50:31.440
I I thought it was warranted. Uh and I appreciate Commissioner Edmonds for kind of beating me to my point of I think we need to talk about this. Um, but uh I appreciate you guys willing to listen and um you know also appreciating the

370
01:50:31.440 --> 01:50:47.679
transparency I love up here. Sometimes it's too much but >> um so to to kind of elaborate, do you want to you mentioned and I think it was a good point about all the uses that could go in there if this continues to

371
01:50:47.679 --> 01:51:02.880
fail. Um did you want to comment on that? No, because I'll get some of them wrong. Uh, no. I mean, with the school there, too, it does limit, you know, with the distances and all of those things. There's just, you know, everything from

372
01:51:02.880 --> 01:51:20.719
barber shops, banks, bakeries, I mean, hotels. >> I mean, it could be it could be a nightclub. It could be bar. >> It's still alcohol. I mean, it's too close to the school for all that, but >> Yeah. Oh, that's true. Good point. >> No, there but there's things that can be done there. And this is attached to the other business. It's one big piece. It's

373
01:51:20.719 --> 01:51:37.119
one business. It's not two businesses. It was two. Now it's going to be one. Um I just think it is the very best use that we're going to get out of this unless somebody knows of one um that we haven't done. >> And with the jobs, like I said, um kids need something to do in the summertime

374
01:51:37.119 --> 01:51:53.599
and make a decent wage for school clothes, you know, I think that's a that's a plus. >> Well, the only concern I got is just making sure that the neighborhood is also protected. Um, if we can add some comments about maybe putting a barrier

375
01:51:53.599 --> 01:52:10.480
to soundproof the uh the back of the where the uh car wash is, I think that'll go a long way to satisfy some of the the issues and concern with the neighborhood behind it. >> I mean, you know, unfortunately doing what we do and you all know this, we're

376
01:52:10.480 --> 01:52:25.920
going to make someone happy and somebody unhappy, you know, on either side. But uh I uh I'm I I agree with you about the neighbors. That's why I voted to deny. I just I just hate hate the wrong word. I don't

377
01:52:25.920 --> 01:52:41.679
like uh uh you know these things right up against a house. Um but I understand the other points. I get it. Um, so, um, I would have less heartburn about this. If we did include something in there about having some soundproofing, having

378
01:52:41.679 --> 01:52:57.520
some additional, um, landscaping, if we included that, I would I would certainly be more inclined. >> Kim, >> like I was saying about I agree with you, but you've got a car wash there. I mean, I don't understand. I mean, we know the noise, the chatter, the music that's >> Oh, you mean the gas station? Yeah.

379
01:52:57.520 --> 01:53:14.080
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Well, I mean, there's already a car wash there. So, I could see if there wasn't, you know, but and car washes are extremely loud, >> you know, and and they're open seven days a week, 24 hours a day, which is my point. And they're and they won't even be open 24 hours, seven days a week.

380
01:53:14.080 --> 01:53:28.960
Well, seven days a week, but not 24 hours. >> Yeah. Sun up, sun down. Yeah. >> So, it also will depend on daylight savings time. Your car wash will fluctuate between daylight savings time and the winter and the fall and the winter and the spring. So, the times will be different. What what kind of

381
01:53:28.960 --> 01:53:44.000
language would you like to to add to your >> I would just say uh >> or no to I'm sorry Commissioner Pierce what kind of >> afraid but you know you >> you're quarterback in it so I don't >> I'm just I'm just throwing some things out I mean >> commissioners if if I may neighborhoods

382
01:53:44.000 --> 01:54:01.599
>> like to talk a little bit about this um before we proceed with language um this is not allowed by right and it's this is something that has been considered and analyzed And there's a reason that it's not allowed by right. Car washes are very

383
01:54:01.599 --> 01:54:18.719
loud. This is right up against people's backyards, their homes. You'll be able to hear this inside their house. This is a extremely disturbing business that's not allowed by right. That is much different than a convenience store.

384
01:54:18.719 --> 01:54:35.119
convenience store does not make the type of noise and the light and the traffic that you would have from a car wash. And so for whatever reasons that may seem like a good idea, there's a lot more bad

385
01:54:35.119 --> 01:54:52.960
reasons to put something like this right in people's backyards and a tunnel that faces east west directly at a school. So this is uh a noisy business in a tunnel which is a speaker that amplifies and

386
01:54:52.960 --> 01:55:09.760
shoots out sound of both sides at a school while school is in session. So there are many reasons that this just does not make good sense as proper land use in my opinion. >> Well, I'm I'm curious now when you say not by right, what do you mean not by

387
01:55:09.760 --> 01:55:26.480
right? I don't I'm >> That's why they're going to get a cup because >> they have come here for a conditional use permit to allow >> car wash, >> a business that is not allowed, >> right? I'm going back to my original point. There's a QT there. I don't know if anybody's lived anywhere close to QT.

388
01:55:26.480 --> 01:55:42.880
It's the same. I mean, I know when you talk about tunnels and and what have you, but if that's the case, then the neighborhoods, they shouldn't they should never have allowed that to sit there for 26 years to begin with. So I mean and that's my argument is that if there's already a certain amount of

389
01:55:42.880 --> 01:55:58.480
noise and that is an extremely >> there's a big difference between a convenience store people coming in purchasing something >> and going away >> okay as to where I mean it's actually demographic study that let me take over

390
01:55:58.480 --> 01:56:13.520
for a second um >> y'all are all making very good valid points and we can disagree and certainly that's okay and the the good news is is that you know council they're going to have to actually vote on this. You know, we're going to make recommendation and then they're going to do what they want

391
01:56:13.520 --> 01:56:28.639
to do. I think we've >> given them a lot to think about. So, I appreciate everybody being so vocal about this because now they'll have this stuff to when they consider what they're going to do. Um, but uh, Commissioner McCoy, valid points.

392
01:56:28.639 --> 01:56:45.199
Commissioner Pierce, valid points. You know, I think all of us are making valid points, but uh, I I think we're I don't know that we're going to get anywhere. I think it's it's okay that we disagree. That's it's it's good debate, but uh I think we need to go ahead and vote. >> Yeah. One comment though. Um

393
01:56:45.199 --> 01:57:01.599
Commissioner McCory, I know there's a car wash by my house that butts up against someone's back of their house and I mean the same be the same scenario. I mean it's right there on the corner of uh Sycamore School Road and uh Granberry Road. There's a car wash but

394
01:57:01.599 --> 01:57:16.880
and that and that tunnel runs right there just like that. So it's the same scenario there. Okay. Uh, this >> two more speakers real quick. We need to I agree with you, M. Uh, Chairman Reigns. We need to move forward and as far as language or additions or

395
01:57:16.880 --> 01:57:33.040
subtractions, I have faith that council will make those decisions. That will be the most beneficial. I think the framework that we're trying to deliver them, whether it's approved or denied, this is the correct framework. Let's let them fight over another brick or a bush

396
01:57:33.040 --> 01:57:50.639
or something like that, please. Well, let me say, Mr. Warsman, I disagree with you. I think uh the applicant has agreed that he that he would add to this um this application the soundwall and landscaping, which are

397
01:57:50.639 --> 01:58:06.800
not in the application. So, I would suggest to the maker of the motion that we add those two provisions in there um because he's already volunteered to do it. And those are two of the concerns that uh our fellow

398
01:58:06.800 --> 01:58:24.400
commissioner has. >> Commissioner, I would add that I don't think any of the commissioners on this commission have domain expertise on sound dampening and whether it's going to be some shrubbery or a six-foot wood

399
01:58:24.400 --> 01:58:40.719
fence versus an 8 foot wood fence, it's going to be pretty inconsequential. um it's going to require 10- foot masonary wall at the least to make a difference. I think I think commissioner's point I certainly none of

400
01:58:40.719 --> 01:58:56.719
us are I don't think have degrees in that but uh you know there's also you know there's like I said earlier about I think it was the the manufacturing stuff uh they can't make so much noise that it's uh I mean this their there regulations that you can only be so loud

401
01:58:56.719 --> 01:59:13.520
you know and then they're they're going to face vines and stuff like that but >> these homes are Edgecliffe Village >> correct >> correct okay but they use >> there's an overlap police officers. But hold on just so I I think his point uh is that they're

402
01:59:13.520 --> 01:59:29.280
they're already volunteering to do something even if it doesn't solve the problem. They're already willing to do something. So we might as well put it in the motion and it gives council something to look at. That's you don't have to do it. You can make your motion however you want. But that's the point is trying to make. But I think we need

403
01:59:29.280 --> 01:59:45.440
to uh go ahead and make a motion. And Commissioner Pierce, make it however you would like. It's your call. Okay. In the case of ZC26048, I move for approval. Second. Right. >> We have a motion by Commissioner Pierce

404
01:59:45.440 --> 02:00:00.880
uh and a second by Commissioner Worman to approve. >> Commissioners, how do you vote? May I ask I'd like to make a substitute motion. I'd like to make a motion to approve and include in the motion that

405
02:00:00.880 --> 02:00:24.000
the um applicant has agreed to install a sound wall and landscaping not shown in the original application. >> Do we need a second on that? >> Okay, there's no second. We'll go to the original motion. >> Commissioners, how do you vote?

406
02:00:24.000 --> 02:00:38.960
Chairperson Reigns. >> I, >> Commissioner Trujillo. >> I, >> Commissioner Welch. >> I, >> Commissioner McCoy. >> Nay, >> Commissioner Edmonds.

407
02:00:38.960 --> 02:00:55.440
>> Hi, >> Commissioner Robinson. >> I, >> Commissioner Pierce. >> I, >> Commissioner Rogers. Hi, >> Commissioner Wman. I, >> Commissioner Castro,

The property is currently zone AR neighborhood commercial. The building was originally constructed as a house where the prior owner lived. She used this as a home and an

412
02:02:06.239 --> 02:02:23.040
accounting business office. So, um, the current owner purchased a property in 2017 and the property design matches all other homes in the community on the

413
02:02:23.040 --> 02:02:40.880

421
02:04:32.320 --> 02:04:47.360
Again, pretty straightforward kind of cleanup case. Um the developer HB had purchased the adjacent property back in 2015. Closed on this property uh the additional five acres about a year ago simply transitioning to match the the

422
02:04:47.360 --> 02:05:03.679
zoning of the adjacent property. >> Okay, very good. Um unsurprisingly, there is no opposition for this case. Um, Commissioner Worman, do you want some Do you have any questions? Do you want some discussion? Okay. All right. Thank you all for being here. Again, there's no opposition, so we'll go ahead

423
02:05:03.679 --> 02:05:18.880

424
02:05:18.880 --> 02:05:36.400

427
02:06:12.080 --> 02:06:27.520
Jeff Whitfield. The request is from A51 family residential to I Light Industrial. >> Thanks. >> Welcome Ray. >> Hey Mr. Chairman. Members of the commission, Ray Oeski representing uh Lonear Demolition Services, uh Carmen

428
02:06:27.520 --> 02:06:49.920
and Crystal Chavez. Uh this is a certified womenowned and minority owned business that has utilized the property for outside storage of its equipment. Oops. Far. Can you get me back to it?

429
02:06:49.920 --> 02:07:07.840
Thank you guys. Uh for outside storage for its equipment since 2006, albeit in uh contrary to the A5 zoning that is currently on the property. The ultimate goal for this one is to go to a CUP uh for limited to the outside

430
02:07:07.840 --> 02:07:24.880
storage of the company's equipment on the property. But uh in terms of the compliance with uh the zoning ordinance, we first of all have to go into an Izzoning category first and then we can ultimately go into a cup for the

431
02:07:24.880 --> 02:07:46.719
property. Guess my did my presentation not make it in? I guess >> didn't look like >> doesn't appear. So, do you have one you want? >> Okay. Okay. >> We can put it uh under the

432
02:07:46.719 --> 02:08:11.360
overhead projector as they used to be called. Now I'm dating myself. So, what I want you to see on the site is essentially uh what is already owned by this property owner. Uh the property owner owns a significant number of lots

433
02:08:11.360 --> 02:08:26.639
that are just south of this location. Uh first of all, I'd like to point out that this is only a 1.14 acre site. Uh it's very small and uh it utili it was previously utilized by the property owner. Everywhere you see a

434
02:08:26.639 --> 02:08:42.320
pink uh shaded lot, uh that whole area was originally utilized by the property owner for the outside storage activities that they have. There's one orange colored lot that you see there in the middle that they are in the process of

435
02:08:42.320 --> 02:09:00.239
seeking to own by adverse possession. Uh again, that's a lot that they've utilized. They pay taxes on and they're in the process again of acquiring the ownership of that lot. And then uh as far as neighborhood outreach went, uh the property owner went doortodoor

436
02:09:00.239 --> 02:09:14.960
uh to property owners that are there in the vicinity and you have uh in your possession. Maybe not, but now you will after today. You will have letters of support from 14 of those property owners

437
02:09:14.960 --> 02:09:31.760
that are in the green color that are in support of the property owners request for the outside zoning here on this property. >> We did receive all that this morning. >> Did receive those. Okay. Very good. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Um, at the end of the day, uh, with the use

438
02:09:31.760 --> 02:09:48.800
that's gone on for a considerable period of time on this property, pretty much anybody that lives in this area has seen this use go on for many, many years. And, uh, again, with the number of lots that the property owner owns,

439
02:09:48.800 --> 02:10:04.960
they will be able to buffer any of the uses that are outside of their ownership. uh either by not developing those lots or by just choosing to develop a portion of those lots. And as a matter of fact,

440
02:10:04.960 --> 02:10:21.840
the space that you see between the area being reszoned and the pink lots to the south, that is actually a platted street called Marion. Uh but it was it's never been built. It's never been finished out. So to the extent that the zoning is

441
02:10:21.840 --> 02:10:39.599
approved and they are able to use this property for the outside storage, uh essentially they will likely abandon that portion of Marian Drive that is just south of their property. And they would also choose not to develop the

442
02:10:39.599 --> 02:10:56.560
lots that you see immediately to the south because there wouldn't be a street that would essentially access those lots. So the only lots that they would realistically develop would be the ones as you where you see Muly Drive. So the

443
02:10:56.560 --> 02:11:12.880
lots just to the north of that would be lots that they could develop into residential lots under the current A5 zoning if they so approved. But the buffer would still be maintained with the lots that you see on just to

444
02:11:12.880 --> 02:11:29.920
the immediate south of the property that's being reszoned. So if I'm making sense, they've got the ability to buffer any use that essentially is going to be south of this property. Now, the property just to the north, they've not

445
02:11:29.920 --> 02:11:44.880
been able to get in contact with the owner of that property, but the owner that owner occ they owned that land right there and then the two lots immediately to uh to the left or to the west of that large piece of property

446
02:11:44.880 --> 02:12:01.840
right there. And that um owner also owns a couple of the lots over there to the right that >> running up against time. Just >> you bet. Let me wrap up right now and say I think you've got the gist of what we're trying to do here with this property. Happy to answer any questions. >> All right. Thank you, Ray. Um we don't

447
02:12:01.840 --> 02:12:17.760
have any opposition here and you want to hang out, Ray, just in case there are um any questions? >> I have a question. So you were saying that um the land owner So it's currently zoned for A51 family residential. So you

448
02:12:17.760 --> 02:12:34.079
were saying that he's been storing his equipment on the land for for a long time. >> That that's correct. >> It's in residential land. >> Yes, that is correct. >> And so he's wanting to move to light industrial and this is it's in a neighborhood.

449
02:12:34.079 --> 02:12:50.079
>> Correct. >> Granted, that portion of the property, again, most of it is undeveloped as a neighborhood commissioner, I would argue. I mean, you do certainly have some lots that have been developed. uh along Muly Street, but the again and and

450
02:12:50.079 --> 02:13:06.480
some lots over there obviously to the west. Uh but but yes, I I would say if you look at the industrial that is north and east of that property, you've got a considerable amount of industrial in the area as well. >> Right. And so here here's my issue. A

451
02:13:06.480 --> 02:13:22.960
lot of of what's going on in district 8, you have a lot of these neighborhoods um because as you know, there's a lot of new housing development. there's a lot of uh how can I say this? Um a resurgence of the southeast side of Fort Worth. So, they're coming back later on.

452
02:13:22.960 --> 02:13:38.800
Everybody's complaining. I don't know if it's at the council meeting yesterday, but everybody's complaining about all this industrial in the middle and around neighborhoods and that are around housing. Um did you talk with the uh well, you said you had 14 letters of support. Were those from residents or

453
02:13:38.800 --> 02:13:54.320
businesses or >> Those those would be residents. Now, a lot of that property that you see that's been developed along Mulia, a lot of that is rental housing. So, some of it was owner occupied, some of it is just simply rental uh occupants of that

454
02:13:54.320 --> 02:14:11.360
property. But again, trying to go up and down a street, you know, to try to get doors knocked and talk to people can be challenging. But, but she was able to get a considerable number of those people, you know, that live along that area to show their support. And what

455
02:14:11.360 --> 02:14:26.480
about the businesses? Were there any businesses in the area that you talked to? >> There was one business that was just over there to the west and they're already owned. Uh they're already zoned industrial, so they did not have any issue with it. It it would be the one that uh uh if you could put Well,

456
02:14:26.480 --> 02:14:46.400
anyway, the slide that I showed you, there was one business there just on the other side of Riverside Drive there that did sign a consent form as well. And they can, commissioner, they can go ahead and develop uh the rest of those

457
02:14:46.400 --> 02:15:02.560
lots there on Muli that are just to the north of what has already been developed. They can still develop those. They're not residential builders, so they would sell it, you know, to a residential uh developer, but they could provide housing to that area right

458
02:15:02.560 --> 02:15:19.360
there. The challenge for them is the area that you see that they're attempting to reszone, that street is going to have to be completely built out in order for those lots to be developed. And to incur the cost of being able to

459
02:15:19.360 --> 02:15:35.520
develop a residential street in order to, you know, go forward with those residential lots, it's expensive to do that. Is there a developer out there that might do it? We don't know. Uh but because they've they need a location to

460
02:15:35.520 --> 02:15:51.599
put their equipment, they've owned the property for a long time. It it was important enough for them to come before you and ask for that permission to be able to continue to use the property as they have because it can be hard to find locations to store equipment for their

461
02:15:51.599 --> 02:16:05.840
business. >> Commissioner Pierce, do you have any other questions? >> I guess one more. And um in our uh in our meeting earlier it was stated that they want to put a eventually a public storage there.

462
02:16:05.840 --> 02:16:21.199
>> No, not correct. There is no building on the property right now and they would need a cup even if the zoning was approved today. They would still need a cup because they don't have a functional building on the property. And to have

463
02:16:21.199 --> 02:16:39.359
outside storage without a cup, you have to have a building. They don't have a functional building right now, but they would like to put a building on the property that would essentially serve as their office for their uh for their equipment that they would store there.

464
02:16:39.359 --> 02:16:54.319
>> That's all I have. >> Okay. Thank you very much. Any other questions for Ray? >> Okay. Thank you very much. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Um there is no one here to speak in opposition, so we'll go ahead and close the public hearing. Um, I I don't know what you're thinking

465
02:16:54.319 --> 02:17:10.160
right now, I guess, but uh I um I tend to really stick with what staff wanted to do on this one and deny this case. And it it's because uh it's I feel like the district that

466
02:17:10.160 --> 02:17:26.960
you live in, you represent uh kind of there's enough, you know, an industrial right next to all these houses. Just because there's already some to the north doesn't I don't think it means we need to continue it. It's just not it's not a place for industrial. You know, I own an industrial business,

467
02:17:26.960 --> 02:17:42.479
but I wouldn't want to be right next to to homes. Uh it's just I I don't think it's fair to the neighbors and I think the district 8 deserves more housing and they Yes, there's nothing there now, but and and yeah, it's it may take some time because Ray brought up a good point, you

468
02:17:42.479 --> 02:17:58.800
know, building out those roads. Um, but I have faith that some developer will figure that out. We've got a bunch of smart ones here. I I would like to see it stay uh single family residential and certainly there are some neighbors that, you know, think that this is great. Um,

469
02:17:58.800 --> 02:18:14.479
so I won't deny that, but uh yeah, I think in the long run I think we might look back on this and go, why in the world do we make that industrial? It should be housing. >> I don't know. That's just my thoughts. >> I'm I saying

470
02:18:14.479 --> 02:18:30.559
>> Yeah, I concur on that. I don't I don't see the value of that. >> All right. Well, uh, Commissioner Pierce, it's yours. >> Okay. Thank you, fellow commissioners. In the case of ZC26053, I move for denial. >> Second. >> We have a motion to deny by Commissioner

471
02:18:30.559 --> 02:18:46.559
Pierce and a second by Commissioner Robinson. >> Commissioners, how do you vote? >> Chairperson Reigns. >> I. Commissioner Trujillo. >> Hi. >> Commissioner Welch. >> Hi. >> Commissioner McCoy. >> Hi. >> Commissioner Edmonds. >> Hi. >> Commissioner Robinson. >> I.

472
02:18:46.559 --> 02:19:05.040
>> Commissioner Pierce. >> Hi. >> Commissioner Rogers. >> Commissioner Worman. >> I. >> And Commissioner Castro. >> I. >> With a vote of 10 to zero. Motion passes. Next case. ZC-26-054. The address is 115 Northwest 25th Street

473
02:19:05.040 --> 02:19:22.240
and 2458 Ellis Avenue. applicant is Franklin Ley Corporation and W Real Estate Holdings LLC. The request is to add a conditional use permit in Stockyards Transition Neighborhood mixed use 55 for a structured parking garage

474
02:19:22.240 --> 02:19:38.960
without a time limit site plan included. >> Welcome to the zoning commission. Did you say finally under your breath when you heard us call your case? >> Notice y'all been here all day. >> Is this on? Y'all hear me? Uh, you have to get a little closer. You almost have to get right on top of it.

475
02:19:38.960 --> 02:19:54.640
>> Is this better? >> Yep, we can hear you. >> Um, I didn't, but I bet you guys did. Um, we do have a presentation. We know if it was added. >> It came in just a little late, and I'm sorry that it's not in there. >> No, >> I tried to get it in in between the work

476
02:19:54.640 --> 02:20:11.200
session and here. Ah, >> perfect. >> Here we go. >> Thank you. Okay. Well, uh, good afternoon. My name is Shannon Bearden. I am an architect and vice president with Dunaway. I'm here on behalf of MLE the

477
02:20:11.200 --> 02:20:28.000
and parking systems of America. Um as you guys noted we are requesting a conditional use permit to replace an existing surface parking lot existing surface parking lot with structured parking which will have

478
02:20:28.000 --> 02:20:46.720
commercial office or retail at the ground floor. So you can see in the photo from the corner that this is the existing surface lot. Um I'm not going to read all of this but it is important to us to note that for more than 80 years has been a

479
02:20:46.720 --> 02:21:03.760
staple and a landmark if you will of Fort Worth and certainly the stockyards located at North Main and Exchange. Um you guys we have all seen the growth of the stockyards and successful growth at that. I'm sorry I keep backing away

480
02:21:03.760 --> 02:21:20.479
from this. Um, but successful growth of the stockyards adding retail, residential, multif family, um, hospitality and restaurants and bars. And with that successful growth has also brought congestion to the area, notably

481
02:21:20.479 --> 02:21:36.880
vehicles. Um, the Franklin's have recognized this and realized this as an opportunity to help uh take their site and ease congestion by converting it from surface parking to structured parking. A 2023

482
02:21:36.880 --> 02:21:53.520
traffic study commissioned by the city of Fort Worth noted that all four streets along our site um that would be North Main Exchange Ellis and Northwest 25th are all over and exceeding 100% capacity with congestion, meaning that

483
02:21:53.520 --> 02:22:08.800
people are continuously circling the block looking for parking. They're illegally parking. They're double parking. They're making up parking spots. So, parking is needed. Um, furthermore, that study, and I quote, recommended improving parking

484
02:22:08.800 --> 02:22:25.200
utilization and leveraging parking resources, specifically on the western side of the district to help reduce congestion. It's also important to note that um upcoming there will be improvements made to North Main and in the southbound direction, parking will

485
02:22:25.200 --> 02:22:42.800
be removed from the street. So, there will be less available parking on North Main. Okay, this is a site plan and ground floor plan of the proposed garage. The site will continue to have multiple ingress and egress points as it does

486
02:22:42.800 --> 02:23:00.399
today um from North Main from Ellis and we're adding a entrance from Northwest 25th Street. As noted, um we are within the transition district um surrounded by the historic district. We are going to replace the existing

487
02:23:00.399 --> 02:23:15.359
buildings that are currently vacant have been vacant um along Northwest 25th that cover approximately 2,000 square feet. We will replace them and add commercial space in the northwest corner of the garage. So you can see that in the top

488
02:23:15.359 --> 02:23:32.319
of the plan. Um today the site houses 55 parking spaces on that surface lot. The garage will improve parking um approximately 245 spaces for a total of uh 300 spaces

489
02:23:32.319 --> 02:23:47.920
and the height of it is four and a half stories. This uh this site, I know you can't see it from this, maybe you could see it from the photo, but it is a complicated site. There is 10 ft of fall from the north and south and the east and west.

490
02:23:47.920 --> 02:24:02.319
So, it it makes a great space for a parking structure. it would be really hard for anything other than parking to be on this site. Um, which is why that small amount of commercial that we can add is on that northwest corner. It truly is the only viable spot that is

491
02:24:02.319 --> 02:24:19.680
flat for commercial uh use. We understand that this hearing is strictly for use and not design, but we felt it prudent to share the concept renderings and we have three of them of what this building will look like. The

492
02:24:19.680 --> 02:24:36.399
family set some pretty high expectations for us going forward before we even started um to make sure that this building did not look like a parking garage that direction u which is beautifully screened but the

493
02:24:36.399 --> 02:24:51.520
goal was to make it not look like a parking structure to make it blend in with the historic fabric. They have a historic building that they have taken pride in again for over 80 years. It is on the National Register. So, it was important to them that the materiality

494
02:24:51.520 --> 02:25:09.840
of this building match. So, we're proposing brick, stucco, and wood paneling. All of which is found within the stockyards today. >> Your final thoughts? >> Um, yes. Okay, one more one more view from North Main. And then we wanted to

495
02:25:09.840 --> 02:25:26.560
bring up the project schedule. So, prior to today, we did meet um the clients, met with all of the neighboring buildings, meet with the neighborhood association, the Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber um council, and we also prepared a presentation and presented to the

496
02:25:26.560 --> 02:25:42.640
newly formed Fort Worth Stockyards, Inc. Design Review Committee. That committee after our presentation noted that they recommended approval for the conditional use permit. Um after today with success we plan to

497
02:25:42.640 --> 02:25:59.280
move forward with submitting to the UDC and BOA because as noted earlier in the workshop we do have some waiverss and some variances in order to make a parking structure work on this site. Um we have been we have been in the news we've been in the forums. All of the

498
02:25:59.280 --> 02:26:15.200
comments we have received has been successful. Everyone knows that we need parking here. We are hosting an open house today at 5:00 at the Spring Hill Suites in the Stockyards. Anyone is welcome to come. We are talking about the project design. Any questions, happy to answer them.

499
02:26:15.200 --> 02:26:30.960
>> Okay. Probably no surprise, but there's no opposition here. Um we uh certainly can open up to questions, but uh I have a feeling that uh you know, she just said it all. There's a if there's any place that needs more parking in Fort

500
02:26:30.960 --> 02:26:46.479
Worth, it's uh it's the stockyards. Um, and if you don't know much about uh why there aren't parking garages there now, parking garages are very expensive. So, kudos to the Franklin's for figuring it out. Um and uh

501
02:26:46.479 --> 02:27:02.640
there's no doubt in my mind and probably I would guess everyone up here would concur that when you have somebody like the Franklin's which has had such a legendary business here and people that were very involved in the community uh we you didn't even have to show me that

502
02:27:02.640 --> 02:27:18.000
rendering and I knew they were going to build something that matches the district and it's looks western and it and it fits. It's not just going to be a a big uh you know concrete structure like that. But you know to defend the city this is your taxpayer dollar. So you know if we built something fancy you

503
02:27:18.000 --> 02:27:34.479
probably wouldn't like it. So uh all that said um does anybody have any questions or any any probably just move this along. Trillo it will close the public hearing and leave it open for a vote. >> I'm sorry I'm being staff wants to say

504
02:27:34.479 --> 02:27:47.680
something. >> Okay. Um, Fort Worth Stockyards is here and there was a letter of opposition or a letter received from them. >> No, there's uh there is no one here to speak in opposition is what I said >> there. You're right.

505
02:27:47.680 --> 02:28:08.640
>> Okay. All right. Thank you. You ready to make a motion? >> Yeah, I'm ready to make a motion >> uh for ZZ26-054. I move for approval. >> Second. >> Was that second? It's right in here. Was that McCoy >> or was that Who was that?

506
02:28:08.640 --> 02:28:25.040
>> Worman. Sorry. Okay. We have a uh motion to approve by Commissioner Trillo and a second by Commissioner Worman. >> Commissioners, how do you vote? Chairperson Reigns. >> I. >> Commissioner Trillo. >> I. >> Commissioner Welch. >> I. >> Commissioner McCoy. >> I.

507
02:28:25.040 --> 02:28:45.080
>> Commissioner Edmonds. >> Hi. >> Commissioner Robinson. >> I. >> Commissioner Pierce. >> I. >> Commissioner Rogers. >> I. >> Commissioner Wman. >> I. >> Commissioner Castro. >> I. with a vote of 10 to zero. Motion passes. Next case, CC-26-056.

508
02:28:46.160 --> 02:29:08.800
This case has been withdrawn. No action is needed and no public hearing will be held. Next case, ZC-25-026. The address is 3812 East Loop 820 South. The applicant is East Loop 820 LLC

509
02:29:08.800 --> 02:29:23.840
Leslie Ford of the request is from MU1 lowintensity mixed use to PDMU1 planned development lowintensity mixed use for neighborhood commercial drive-through restaurants and retail

510
02:29:23.840 --> 02:29:42.319
with all uses in MU1 excluding liquor or package store gasoline sales and credit access business development standards for 55- ft maximum primary street setback. Surface parking allowed between front building and the

511
02:29:42.319 --> 02:29:59.600
street. Up to 70% of the parking lot frontage allowed along a street. Street trees and pedestrian lighting allowed on private property frontage within 5 ft of the rightway. Principal building entrances may not be from a public sidewalk or plaza. Primary entrances may

512
02:29:59.600 --> 02:30:15.600
be from a parking lot. Drive-through windows and stacking lanes allowed to be located along the facades of buildings that face a street. Driveways may be located within the front yard setback between the building front and the street and passenger car

513
02:30:15.600 --> 02:30:38.640
parking allowed in the supplemental building setback at all times of day. Site plan included. Zoning commission Got your pamphlets. >> There we go. We have it. We were trying to figure that out. >> All right.

514
02:30:38.640 --> 02:30:54.479
>> My legs are getting tired. >> Hello everyone. My name is Lesie Ford and I am from UPC. I am representing the owner who is Net Lease Properties and then also uh Tertiarily representing McDonald's who is a future potential tenant here. So, um, just to move through this really quickly, you guys

515
02:30:54.479 --> 02:31:10.399
have access to our site plan and everything, but I want to talk really quickly about this because I think we don't see a lot of development over off of Berry Street, especially on the east side over here. So, what we're asking for is to retain the base MU1 zoning to uphold some forms of enhancement design

516
02:31:10.399 --> 02:31:27.680
and to create good development. So, we are retaining things like the street trees, retaining things like the pedestrian lights, making sure that we can retain the um requirements for some of the better finishes on the building to make sure that we're really kind of keeping that that MU nature with asking

517
02:31:27.680 --> 02:31:43.439
for some concessions. I wanted to show you this photo because this is an existing quick service restaurant in the area. This is something that's going on right now. It's also a combo beer, wine, lotto, and cigarette and vape store. Um, and so that's currently what is going on in the area. And what we're trying to do

518
02:31:43.439 --> 02:32:00.560
is bring national brands with good QSR business, good franchisee driven business that actually has pride and will have all of the uh all of the amenities and all of the things that you would expect on a nationwide brand to come to town or to this area. So, I want

519
02:32:00.560 --> 02:32:15.920
to point out to the MU1 zoning does allow for drive-through restaurant use by right. So, this is not a request for a special use. This is a by right use and we're hoping that these projects can be a catalyst for development in this area. These are current conditions. So facing

520
02:32:15.920 --> 02:32:32.720
north on Berry, we have the Cowboy Bear Drive-Thru which is currently closed and abandoned. Um the Great Western Inn and then we do in front of our property have the uh 820 frontage which is part of the new textile program. And then adjacent homes most are zone MU1 but some are A5

521
02:32:32.720 --> 02:32:48.800
and A10 and we'll get into that in a second. Again, you'll have a copy of our site plan and a copy of our landscape plan. So, I'm going to jump through these really quickly because we'll talk about them in a second. So, site plan, landscape plan. And so, we did attempt some community

522
02:32:48.800 --> 02:33:04.080
engagement. Um, obviously the notices were sent out to the property owners, but something I've always heard from zoning commission and also BOA is sometimes we're not reaching the people who actually live in the homes because they may be a rental product. So, we actually went and did some um actual canvasing. We talked to some folks that

523
02:33:04.080 --> 02:33:19.520
were out in their yards. We actually talked to uh the person who lives directly behind our property and we gave them this flyer. So, we gave them the opportunity to reach out to we gave them a link to the zoning so they could make a card. I didn't receive anything back personally. I don't know if y'all did or

524
02:33:19.520 --> 02:33:36.640
not. I haven't heard. So, um that's just what we gave out. It was an 8 and a half by 11. What's really interesting is there is some catalytic development in the area. So this house here at the bottom is zoned A10 and it's a new development. So it's new house and I actually ran into the man who is

525
02:33:36.640 --> 02:33:54.080
building the house while I was there and they were talking to me a little bit about how they are trying really hard to kind of bring up the neighborhood. But what's interesting is in order to do that they had to zone out of the MU1 and into A10 which creates a a place where it doesn't make that contiguous MU1

526
02:33:54.080 --> 02:34:10.319
work. So if you see here, we've actually got two properties, A10 and A5 that are zoned out of the MU1. So we've already broken it. It's already happened in the development. What we're asking for is a little bit of agreement that we can continue the development without the

527
02:34:10.319 --> 02:34:24.800
MU1. So we're asking for some modifications to the MU1. And I'm going to tell you the vast majority of them are caused by the fact that we have um Tex DOT as our biggest competitor of development here.

528
02:34:24.800 --> 02:34:40.479
So Tex does have a um right-of-way access all the way on Berry Street even though they do not own Berry Street. So Berry Street is a city of Fort Worth Street, but they do have the availability to add their ride ofway all the way in front of the McDonald's property. So whenever we were talking

529
02:34:40.479 --> 02:34:56.319
with them, they actually went through the process with us of trying to say, "Hey, we cannot put two entrances. We cannot put this. We cannot put an entrance um right where the McDonald's is for them to have two entrances and circle around the building. We are going

530
02:34:56.319 --> 02:35:12.319
to plop one entrance right there in the middle. We're going to put our sidewalks and we're going to do the same at the properties to the south." So we are encumbered by that. That's our biggest encumbrance here. I want to point out too that we are keeping the street trees and the pedestrian scale lighting on the properties. The reason we have to ask

531
02:35:12.319 --> 02:35:29.439
for a variance is because we have to keep them on our property, not in the ride of way because text dot will not allow us to put them in the ride of way. So, we're not allowed to do that. I have a ton more information about text dot which was also in your your uh your packet, the flood plane. And then I want

532
02:35:29.439 --> 02:35:44.560
to talk really quickly about the Berry Street timeline. So currently on our site there is um some illegal dumping including a handgun holster and then the current Barry Stall Cup project there was a man disassembling a car. So that's what we're looking at right now. So we are really trying to do some good

533
02:35:44.560 --> 02:36:00.399
development that is not funded by the city. We're very excited about the Barry Stall Cup project but that took a huge investment from the city of Fort Worth $4.6 million. These are private dollars to develop these properties. So, one thing I want to talk about real

534
02:36:00.399 --> 02:36:14.479
quick, too, is the Berry Street connector plan. I know this is a huge point of contention for a lot of the folks here in zoning, but the Berry Street connector plan kind of doesn't mention this site at all. There's one specific mention of this site where it says that it needs to be part of segment

535
02:36:14.479 --> 02:36:30.560
D, which is the US 287 to Miller Avenue segment. They basically want the development to look the same. That's the only place we're mentioned. We're skipped over from mixed use recommendations and we're skipped over for focus areas for ideas for improvement. So really and truly what we're asking is

536
02:36:30.560 --> 02:36:46.880
to allow this project to be a catalyst for development. Each McDonald's restaurant, I know, I can actually attest to that, brings between 30 and 40 jobs to the area where people can walk. We're very close to Dunar that will allow for us to have jobs where these kids can walk and actually have those jobs during the summer after school. And

537
02:36:46.880 --> 02:37:02.640
then also, we're hoping we can be a catalyst for development for other developers, residents, and government officials. If we can develop these private dollars into this area, hopefully other people will follow. I know it's not ideal. I know that the MU is not exactly what we're putting here,

538
02:37:02.640 --> 02:37:19.120
but it's up against the highway and we're doing the best that we can. So, overall, I think I'm out of time, but I just want to make sure that you all know. I think I'm pretty close to out of time. >> You got about a minute. >> Yeah. So, overall, I mean, really, we just want to make sure that we're acting as a catalyst for development. McDonald's specifically is my client and

539
02:37:19.120 --> 02:37:35.120
they are someone who has committed if we can get this zoning change done to come into this property. And just some information here about things that are happening. McDonald's did an entire economic impact analysis to the impact analysis of McDonald's on DFW. And this is what you see here. The GDP of the

540
02:37:35.120 --> 02:37:50.720
impact is $563 million. They're bringing in 4,800 new jobs. And that's something we can bring to Berry Street. It's something that we can do that I know at the beginning whenever we were making this plan in 2006, it was not the intent. The intent was for us to do a

541
02:37:50.720 --> 02:38:06.319
great mixeduse and it was to have walkable access. We also didn't expect that Texot was going to come and take right away from all the way to the basically the street behind us. Um, you know, at this point the street behind us has multiple properties that have been

542
02:38:06.319 --> 02:38:22.960
zoned out of the MU. And so I think right now what we can do that's best for Barry and I got some buyin from some people at UDC for this and then also having spoken to our council members. This one's interesting because it's Barry Street. Um it's Deborah Peoples to the top and then it's Janette Martinez

543
02:38:22.960 --> 02:38:39.600
where we are. Um and we've spoken with both of them and at this point the big thing for us is that this is development that's here now. It's development people are willing to do and they're willing to do it with private dollars. So we really appreciate your time and I hope you guys are good. Thank you. Any questions? >> Great. Thank you. Uh there is no

544
02:38:39.600 --> 02:38:57.359
opposition on this case, so we can go right into questions. Y'all have any Oh, what's your name? Oh, it looks like it's in favor. Were you speaking in opposition? Okay,

545
02:38:57.359 --> 02:39:18.800
>> one second. I I thank you for raising your hand. Uh yes, you you can come up. We'll hear from the opposition. Hi, >> welcome. Sorry about that. Thanks for >> No, no, no, it's fine. Um, my name is Valerie Ventura. I actually my house is directly behind the proposed development

546
02:39:18.800 --> 02:39:33.600
and actually no one actually stopped by my house to talk to me or anything like that. Um, but I just want to start out with Fort Worth has been my home for many years. Um, as much as I would love for it to stay an empty lot, obviously that's not going to happen. And I'm all

547
02:39:33.600 --> 02:39:51.439
for um you know developing the area. Um obviously Stop Six is not a great you know neighborhood. Um but the concerns that I have is with these retail or you know drive-thru that is being added is

548
02:39:51.439 --> 02:40:08.640
literally touching my property. So I'm concerned about noise. I'm concerned about lighting. Um obviously the the chevron that's there in the corner. there's, you know, questionable characters that kind of hang out there. So, I'm concerned this is going to be the same case at my house. Um, right

549
02:40:08.640 --> 02:40:25.600
now, the motel that's at the corner of my house actually just put up a new light and that actually goes straight into my bedroom. So, that would be my only concern is how would we need to protect us as a homeowners that are behind these properties.

550
02:40:25.600 --> 02:40:43.120
>> Okay. Thank you. And now you can come up uh and rebut that. You have two minutes if you want to come back up and speak to any of that. >> Yeah, no problem. Um actually, so the last slide of the presentation um addresses the noise and also some of the

551
02:40:43.120 --> 02:40:57.840
lights. So I don't know if we want to pull that back up, but um I'll do that real quick. Didn't think we had opposition, so I wasn't I didn't talk about it. So, um, so it's interesting because there is a supplemental setback for a zoning adjacency. And because we have allowed

552
02:40:57.840 --> 02:41:12.240
for properties that are adjacent to this property to be zoned out of the mixed use, we have now triggered the supplemental setback. And so what we have done is non-daylight hour parking is actually prohibited and enforced by signage as shown on the site plan. And

553
02:41:12.240 --> 02:41:28.960
so the signage that we do is actually the same signage that we are using at the Basswood location that we did for McDonald's. It's right here beneath the A5. No parking is allowed between 10 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. This was originally approved by staff whenever we tried to figure out what to do with this

554
02:41:28.960 --> 02:41:43.439
supplemental setback. And so this is what we have at that location. It allows for there to be if there's a light problem, call code and then they can come and they can deal with it. They will ticket the owner and that's how we take care of the light. So as it pertains to the sound, which I think is

555
02:41:43.439 --> 02:42:01.200
also probably a concern. Um so we actually have um some we actually have a sound study where we have the sound pressure levels and depending upon how far you are from the speaker the um speaker is at these decibel levels. And so uh the speakers are also equipped

556
02:42:01.200 --> 02:42:16.640
with for any national brand at this point adaptive sound technology which during ambient hours will actually reduce the decibb. And so from the point in which these properties are engaging with these uh these quicks service restaurants, the decibb will not be able

557
02:42:16.640 --> 02:42:33.200
to be heard is the equivalent of a whisper. Um and we have the sound study that shows that if we need to. So I think that addresses both the lighting and the sound. And so those are things that we've already said yes to. And there's also a proposed six foot minimum board on board wood fits. >> Okay. Very good. Um and you might hang

558
02:42:33.200 --> 02:42:48.479
out for just a second in case there's questions. Um, commissioners, >> the dumpster right there, I believe that's is that a dumpster enclosure should too. >> Um, if you'll come back up, we're gonna have some questions for you. Could you help? Uh, >> Commissioner Worman has a question about

559
02:42:48.479 --> 02:43:05.840
the dumpster the location. It's right up against the house. Is there a better location for that? There you go. So, we actually I realize now between the point in which we went to um UDC and now we've actually made a change to the site plan. I realized we

560
02:43:05.840 --> 02:43:22.000
have our old site plan in here. So, we actually moved the dumpster to the um adjacency to the uh to the gas station because we wanted to make sure we were mindful of that. And so, we uh moved it over um basically in the top corner up there. It kind of is over there. And so,

561
02:43:22.000 --> 02:43:36.640
I can send that to staff and make sure they have it. In fact, I think staff may have it. and the one in your packet may actually be the new one. So, this is one from my old presentation from UDC. >> Did you also get off the five foot setback that's on here with the

562
02:43:36.640 --> 02:43:53.120
additional parking spaces? >> The five foot >> the southwest like the southwest corner of the the top space. The parking spots are on top of the property lines. >> Yeah. So, those are actually moved out now because we don't have the dumpster there. So, it reangled that entire area.

563
02:43:53.120 --> 02:44:10.000
So whenever uh I guess it was the staff planner, Joseph and I spoke about it, that was the thing he pointed out and we did make a change. So I'm sorry that I have the wrong site plan there. And we're perfectly fine to take that if we need to like as an official comment to say those things need to be moved and officially done and then we'll just send

564
02:44:10.000 --> 02:44:26.160
the site plan over to staff if they don't have it. >> Go ahead, >> Steph. Would you mind pulling up the uh site plan that's included in in our uh presentation? So, if we switch from this to

565
02:44:26.160 --> 02:44:43.279
our presentation, then let's look at that site plan that's in it. >> And while you're looking that up, uh, Commissioner Castro, what uh what are you thinking? >> Yeah. Yeah. Curious to see the updated uh plan with >> Yeah. So, this one's not the updated either. So, we'll This is not We went to

566
02:44:43.279 --> 02:44:59.120
um UDC on the 15th, so we just need to get the updated one to you guys >> and get everything moved around. So, um we have an incumbrance over in that corner. We're going to have to figure out exactly where it goes if it's not already represented because we have the flood plane actually touches the property and we're not allowed to put

567
02:44:59.120 --> 02:45:14.479
any dumpster enclosure in the flood plane. So, we'll have to figure out where to put that in that top corner if it's not already there. But, I am pretty sure from what we've moved around that we um already addressed it whenever we talked to to uh staff member laws. I'm sorry that we didn't bring the right one.

568
02:45:14.479 --> 02:45:29.279
>> Okay, hold on one moment. uh Chris or can we even accept that because there's nothing in our >> you can honestly just make it as part of your motion to approve >> to move the dumpster and remove those

569
02:45:29.279 --> 02:45:45.600
parking spots site plan with a dumpster as she has indicated where it would be. >> Okay. >> Obviously you can continue the case if you want to but >> uh moving forward uh obviously you can approve a revised site plan. We just turned around and got yesterday.

570
02:45:45.600 --> 02:46:02.800
>> Um, all right. Um, other questions? Uh, Commissioner Castro, do you >> you have any questions? >> So, with regards to any additional signage, uh, you mentioned that, uh, Mickey De's is a potential one. Like, is there anything that's going to be high

571
02:46:02.800 --> 02:46:18.640
that would block or be in the window view of the residence in the back? >> So, the only signage that we're actually proposing does this have a laser? Can I point Okay. So, the only signage that we're actually proposing is kind of in the um

572
02:46:18.640 --> 02:46:35.120
lower corner of the property that's on East Loop A20. So, we are actually for any kind of higher signage, we are actually more constrained and controlled by text dot because of its location next to the highway than we even are by the city standards. And so, city standards

573
02:46:35.120 --> 02:46:51.200
are actually not even allowed because Tex is more restrictive than the city. And so what'll happen is there will be a shared multi-tenant probably pylon sign because it's not going to be something that um the city really y'all would approve it straight

574
02:46:51.200 --> 02:47:07.439
out because it's exactly what we need. But um we also spoke with our staff member about doing um what we call a USA like a unified sign agreement to use with three properties together. So all three of the properties would use the one sign that is whatever text dot says

575
02:47:07.439 --> 02:47:21.920
it can be heightwise that is what will flow for all of that. >> What about illuminated building signs? Do they face the resident site plan? So currently there is um there would be a

576
02:47:21.920 --> 02:47:38.479
McDonald's M located on the side facing the um properties to the north west there. So, in the corner, um, it's tricky because I mean, what we've run into is since they're

577
02:47:38.479 --> 02:47:54.720
zoned MU1, then there's not really a lot of, and this is where this gets weird is because the MU1 zoning doesn't require for there to be any kind of like mitigation of that, but we understand that it's actually MU1 zoning with

578
02:47:54.720 --> 02:48:12.399
houses. It's not really MU1 zoning. So all that we've got facing that right now is a single McDonald's in but that's something we can definitely discuss if we need to. I think signage is not something we bring through here but we can if it needs to be a condition that's fine.

579
02:48:12.399 --> 02:48:28.160
>> We'll go to BOA unless we've got our new language. >> Please don't bring ordinance here. >> Um let's see. Uh so Mr. uh >> one more question. Uh drive-thru hours are we talking

580
02:48:28.160 --> 02:48:44.000
It closes at some point or 24 hours. >> Yeah, so usually these are not 24 hours. Um it's not something that's being done as often as it used to in the past. Um, it's really kind of up to the owner operator and I don't know specifically what the hours will be of this one, but

581
02:48:44.000 --> 02:48:59.840
um, I believe that in another area where we had kind of a similar adjacency, we closed the dining room generally around 9 or 10 and then the drive-thru um, has different hours for the weekdays and the weekends just kind of like you would see

582
02:48:59.840 --> 02:49:16.479
normally. Um, and I believe I want to say it's midnight I think is what is set for Basswood, but I don't remember exactly. >> Any other questions for the applicant? Okay. Um, thank you very much. Thanks for being here. At this point, we'll

583
02:49:16.479 --> 02:49:32.640
close the public hearing and leave it up for some discussion. And so, Commissioner, what I was going to ask you, um, I'm just curious where you're at with like during the work session, I I mentioned that, uh, I think this is the type of stuff that, you know, goes off off a highway, you know, that that's

584
02:49:32.640 --> 02:49:48.880
where you see these type things. Um, however, you know, the other side of that coin is, um, especially this pro this where the McDonald's is going to be right off of, you know, Barry against these houses. um you know a fast food

585
02:49:48.880 --> 02:50:06.640
restaurant or a you know with a fair amount of traffic I'm assuming um or they wouldn't build it there. >> Yeah. >> Uh >> you know I have a little bit of concern about that. Mhm. >> Um and uh you know getting and the the security concern you know you put that

586
02:50:06.640 --> 02:50:21.840
stuff there more people are going to be walking you know that's I mean that's not something that you know we really look at but it's certainly you could it's in my head but uh I think from a land use perspective it's it makes sense obviously though however comp plan it

587
02:50:21.840 --> 02:50:37.279
not really wanting that there. It's a it's a tricky little site. I'm just wondering how how you're thinking like balancing, you know, improving the site because certainly it could use some improvement um but also it's right up against those houses. How are you

588
02:50:37.279 --> 02:50:52.880
feeling about that? So, I want to acknowledge the economic development attempt and also the renegotiation and moving the dumpster, but it feels like we're trying to do a lot somewhere where it's doesn't seem feasible and we're

589
02:50:52.880 --> 02:51:08.399
infringing on the residents right behind there. Um, so my thoughts are still in line with the staff recommendation at this point. >> Anybody else? If I may add, I'm extremely familiar with that area. They

590
02:51:08.399 --> 02:51:23.920
call that area the creek. And they've had multiple for I'm talking about barber shops. You just saw Louisiana Fried. They had multiple >> businesses for 50 years in and out of that area. It's on the other side of Dumbar. >> Uhhuh.

591
02:51:23.920 --> 02:51:39.120
>> Then at Chase Bank. So that area is not unfamiliar with commercial development of all. It's been there on and off. But because of the highway expansion, a lot of that a lot of the businesses have left. But that's been zoned for commercial and commercial business have

592
02:51:39.120 --> 02:52:01.200
been in that area for 30 years. >> Any other thoughts now that you know what Commissioner Castro is thinking? Any other comments? >> All right. Uh >> well, it seems to me if we're going to if we're going to have a motion to approve

593
02:52:01.200 --> 02:52:17.680
that we need to include in there all the changes they've talked about making that make it more desirable for the adjacent property owners. >> Yeah. Um like you know Chris mentioned earlier when I made a comment about this site plan uh since they don't have the

594
02:52:17.680 --> 02:52:36.560
updated one. Um if you are on Oh, this is the updated one on the screen. Just kidding. Um, we need to note How could we note that now that we have this pulled up? >> Uh, it was my understanding that wasn't the updated site plan. Is that correct?

595
02:52:36.560 --> 02:52:53.359
>> This one has the dumpster moved, >> but it has the parking. It has the parking they said that they were going to move in the southeast. If if North is at the top of the screen, then on the site at the top of their site on the

596
02:52:53.359 --> 02:53:08.319
McDonald's, um I thought they said they were going to move some of that parking in the southwest corner. >> Well, looks like they adjusted something because it's like it's not it's like kissing the property line, but it's not over it.

597
02:53:08.319 --> 02:53:24.560
>> If I if I may real quick, so this was the one that was sent out in the courtesy notice. So this was the one that's going forward. >> So I would just confirm with the applicant that this is the most current >> site plan that >> Okay, we got a thumbs up. This is the

598
02:53:24.560 --> 02:53:39.279
most current site plan. >> So if I was if if there is going to be uh if this was the site plan that's included in the staff report, is that correct as well? because then then there doesn't need to be an amended language

599
02:53:39.279 --> 02:53:55.120
if this is if this is the site plan included as notated in the agenda. >> And I'm sorry, commissioner, just give me one second to verify what was in the staff report. I do apologize for the confusion here. Am I remembering our conversation with the applicant

600
02:53:55.120 --> 02:54:11.359
correctly that the corner where it's touching the property line that was going to be adjusted when the dumpster was moved over? Does it still look like it's touching the property line? >> I mean, it looks like it's it looks like it's kind of touching it to me, but uh I mean staff, correct me if I'm wrong, they would have that would they wouldn't

601
02:54:11.359 --> 02:54:26.479
be able to actually if it was actually over the property line, that would happen during platting. They wouldn't let him do that, right? I >> don't mean over, but see the line with the boxes? Is that now showing a setback, which I don't set back, right? It's five feet. >> Yeah, >> they left the utility easement only. So there's

602
02:54:26.479 --> 02:54:42.319
>> none of what we would kind of see in a traditional setup, but I think this has been changed quite a bit because of the MU that's across the the face of Barry and kind of winds down to the top two properties right there. It's only A5 once you get to the third lot. Oh, I

603
02:54:42.319 --> 02:54:59.279
touched my screen again. So that one is A5, the one that actually has it five feet away. >> Okay. I don't know if you know and that's obviously going to have to get approved elsewhere. >> Yeah. >> Um you know >> they're not going to be able to build into the setback or they would have to fix it. >> I'm just not I off top of my head I

604
02:54:59.279 --> 02:55:14.880
don't know what would need to be there Dave with that being A5 is it is five feet as close as they can get or is that just kind of out of sorts for this? >> It it seems peculiar that the fence is not on the on the property line mainly

605
02:55:14.880 --> 02:55:29.920
in terms of a maintenance issue. if you have uh property outside of your fence who maintains that. Um but just of note, they are still asking they do still need a supplemental uh setback uh development

606
02:55:29.920 --> 02:55:46.800
standard which is um included in the request because they would normally not be allowed to park um any vehicles in that supplemental building setback um outside of daylight hours. But uh just of note that is um included in the request. And to clarify on the site

607
02:55:46.800 --> 02:56:02.160
plan, the uh packet had the original site plan, not the site plan that you see on the screen. So you would need to if you choose to approve it, it would need to be amended to include the the

608
02:56:02.160 --> 02:56:24.640
updated site plan as shown uh during Can we say that, Chris? The updated site plan that we saw that was shown during the hearing. Okay. Did you hear that, Commissioner Castro? Sorry. All right, there's no more discussion. We are

609
02:56:24.640 --> 02:56:41.680
>> Dave, does uh A5 trigger at least a fiveyard buffer yard because it looks like the parking goes almost directly to the fence, >> right? They are within the supplemental building setback. So again, there's a 5-ft uh buffer yard within

610
02:56:41.680 --> 02:56:58.399
um that's within the supplemental building setback. And here it looks like the issue is that the fence is on the wrong side of that buffer yard. It looks like they're putting that buffer yard on the neighbors or on the residential side

611
02:56:58.399 --> 02:57:13.760
of the fence to maintain. And again, it's just a peculiar layout that doesn't look like to me it's would >> that be because of an easement. >> You typically don't have to fence out of an easement, but again, I don't know the details of the easement to

612
02:57:13.760 --> 02:57:30.960
>> Can the easement and the buffer yard overlap or does it have to be addition? >> The easement and the buffer yard can overlap and and again that buffer yard is included within the supplemental building setback. Um, it's just typically that landscape buffer yard is

613
02:57:30.960 --> 02:57:44.960
on the business side of the fence and the fence is usually on the property line, not not 5t off the property line. >> So, what's dividing this is a six-foot

614
02:57:44.960 --> 02:58:05.040
wood fence with no space for any type of landscaping >> as shown here. um on this site plan. Now, uh PD site plans don't have the landscape in them, but again, they're not showing the room for the five foot

615
02:58:05.040 --> 02:58:25.200
buffer yard there. >> Thank you. >> Since this is a PD, could we instead of uh site plan included, like to let y'all handle that and say site plan required? I believe so, but I'll defer to Chris on

616
02:58:25.200 --> 02:58:42.240
uh and and Chris the mo or the request is or the question is could the motion be site plan required to >> that way that staff could have a they could have a last look at it and go oh you need to move this and it we're not up here trying to figure out which

617
02:58:42.240 --> 02:58:57.200
detail this is >> that there's issue that you you you all are rejecting this site >> I mean as is that the fence is in the wrong place like it's just not Right. >> So, because if it goes to council and say site plan required, they're going to have to come back through the zoning

618
02:58:57.200 --> 02:59:24.160
process and resubmit a new site plan. >> Can the applicant address this for us? >> Sure. Yeah. So, the situation with the fence is that we do have a 5- foot utility easement that runs, you can actually see it noted on the second MU property if you look on

619
02:59:24.160 --> 02:59:41.359
your screen. And historically, what we've been told is that without an encroachment agreement with the city, we cannot put a fence into that. Since we haven't gotten to the point where we can file encroachment agreements because we don't have a case to file it with, we can't put it there right now. So then if

620
02:59:41.359 --> 02:59:57.680
we want to show it in the site plan where like up against the property line, we can, but then the contingency will be that we will have to seek an encroachment agreement from the city in order to do that. >> In reality, how close is that the closest parking lot to that property line?

621
02:59:57.680 --> 03:00:14.720
>> Well, so the the utility easement is 5T itself. And so there's five feet between the property line and the fence currently. And then there's probably an additional like right up on that like an additional two feet. So we're probably seven feet and we're more than happy. We can literally straighten that out and get more in between whatever we need to

622
03:00:14.720 --> 03:00:31.520
do to kind of keep that the distance. So I think the actual setback requirement is only that the supplemental setback parking has to not be non daylight hours and cannot include the trash enclosure. So we'll have to figure out exactly what the requirements are because again it's

623
03:00:31.520 --> 03:00:47.680
weird because it's like mu mua5. So we just have to kind of figure out how to work the two different zonings that are adjacent. But that's not a big deal at all. We can move it and then we can also move the fence if you'd like with the contingency that the approval of that fence will be

624
03:00:47.680 --> 03:01:10.080
contingent on the city issuing us an encroachment agreement to encroach into that utility easement. I'm tempted to this is your call, but uh yeah, this is the >> tough. I think we're making it more complicated. I know. Yeah, that's what

625
03:01:10.080 --> 03:01:25.200
I'm noticing. I mean, we're starting to like look at stuff that's >> the applicant is obviously very willing to work with. Yeah, I >> mean, she took the the woman's the opposition's name and number and I mean, >> yeah, I mean, my my bigger question again was, you know, balancing

626
03:01:25.200 --> 03:01:41.279
it's just the land use balancing, hey, there's neighbors right there, but hey, it's also this area needs some development. Nothing's happening there. Uh, this is, >> you know, a lot better than what's I think the residents would >> they would love it. >> Would would Yeah, exactly. >> I think this is good. It's a good

627
03:01:41.279 --> 03:01:56.000
amenity for the people that live over there and it's uh you know not a vacant lot anymore and it's it's not exactly what um you know is on our on our comp plan but it's close you know um and it's something that someone's willing to

628
03:01:56.000 --> 03:02:11.520
build today and start getting some stuff done. I was just curious how you were going to balance I don't know why we got the weeds so much but I mean there was the dumpster made a lot of sense and then uh yeah it just started looking funny. >> So I guess to make this plan. Do we

629
03:02:11.520 --> 03:02:27.359
still have to include the wording of with site plan required since we don't we >> didn't have this in? >> No, I I think that that then because if they that's what Chris was saying. If we say required um they're going to have to go back uh because they'll have to get

630
03:02:27.359 --> 03:02:43.760
one to for council to approve. So that'll just delay things. So um >> it's I mean it's it's your call, but They have to provide one at some point because of the PD. Correct. Right. Don't

631
03:02:43.760 --> 03:02:58.240
have to talk about >> Right. It's it's included. And then I'm The reason I'm not like so worried about exactly where this parking spot is is because they're not I mean once they go to platting, they're not going to allow them to build it where it can't be done. So that's I I appreciate the comments

632
03:02:58.240 --> 03:03:13.840
and and noticing that, but I think now we're just getting too far in the weeds. So >> if you I was just Yeah. If if you like it, go for it. If you don't, >> I'll I'll go ahead and make a motion >> for CC-25-206.

633
03:03:13.840 --> 03:03:31.439
I move to approve. >> All right, we have a motion by >> Second by >> uh Commissioner Castro to approve and a second by Commissioner Rogers. >> Commissioners, how do you vote? Chairperson Reigns. >> I. >> Commissioner Trujillo,

634
03:03:31.439 --> 03:03:46.560
