SO WE HAVE ONE PROCLAMATION, AND I'D LIKE TO READ IT, IT'S SALVATION ARMY RED KETTLE CHRISTMAS

[Proclamation: The Salvation Army Christmas Campaign is being recognized for its annual Red Kettle and Angel Trees that provide help to countless citizens in need.]

AND WHEREAS THE RED KETTLE CHRISTMAS CAMPAIGN, ESTABLISHED IN 1891, COLLECTS DONATIONS THAT STAY LOCAL AND PROVIDES ASSISTANCE AS WELL AS CHRISTMAS GIFTS AND PROVISIONS DURING THE HOLIDAYS TO THOSE LACKING ADEQUATE RESOURCES.

THE ANGEL TREE WAS CREATED BY THE SALVATION ARMY IN 1979 AND GOT ITS NAME BECAUSE OF CHARLES AND SHIRLEY WHITE IDENTIFIED THE WISHES OF LOCAL CHILDREN BY WRITING THEIR GIFT NEEDS ON GREETING CARDS THAT FEATURED PICTURES OF ANGELS.

WHEREAS IN 2023, THE SALVATION ARMY CORPS RAISED $92,000 IN PLANO AND NEARLY $102 MILLION NATIONWIDE.

THIS YEAR THROUGH THE ANGEL TREE PROGRAM, THE PLANO LOCATION WILL HELP 350 FAMILIES PROVIDE GIFTS FOR THEIR 850 CHILDREN AND 56 SENIOR AND SPECIAL NEEDS ADULTS DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON.

AND WHEREAS, IN ADDITION TO THE HOLIDAY ASSISTANCE, THE PLANO LOCATION SERVES AS A WARMING STATION WHEN NEEDED.

SERVES YOUTH AGES 5 THROUGH 14 WITH AFTER SCHOOL CARE, AND PROVIDES SUMMER DAY CAMP FOR ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL AGED STUDENTS.

AND THEY ALSO SERVE OVER 120 FAMILIES EACH WEEK FROM THEIR FOOD PANTRY.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOHN MUNS, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF PLANO, TEXAS, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25TH, 2024, AS SALVATION ARMY RED KETTLE CHRISTMAS CAMPAIGN DAY IN PLANO AND DO THEREBY ENCOURAGE ALL CITIZENS TO JOIN ME AND THE PLANO CITY COUNCIL IN SUPPORTING THIS ANNUAL CAMPAIGN SO THAT ALL OF OUR FAMILIES CAN EXPERIENCE A WONDERFUL AND MEMORIAL HOLIDAY SEASON IN THE CITY OF EXCELLENCE [APPLAUSE]. THANK YOU.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

THE CONSENT AGENDA.

THE CONSENT AGENDA WILL BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION AND CONTAINS ITEMS WHICH ARE ROUTINE AND TYPICALLY NONCONTROVERSIAL.

ITEMS MAY BE REMOVED FROM THIS AGENDA FOR INDIVIDUAL DISCUSSION BY A COUNCIL MEMBER, THE CITY MANAGER, OR ANY CITIZEN.

THE PRESIDING OFFICER WILL ESTABLISH TIME LIMIT TIME LIMITS BASED UPON THE NUMBER OF SPEAKER REQUESTS.

[00:05:05]

SECOND. THANK YOU.

I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ITEM K, WHICH WE WILL DO AFTER THE CONSENT AGENDA MINUS ITEM K.

ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND.

MOTION PASSES 8 TO 0.

[(k)  To approve an expenditure for engineering professional service agreement for Shady Brook Trail at Riverside Drive Erosion Control, Project No. PKR-D-00009, in the amount of $307,000 from Teague Nall & Perkins, Inc. for the Parks and Recreation Department; and authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.]

ITEM K APPROVAL OF AN EXPENDITURE FOR ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR SHADY BROOK TRAIL AT RIVERSIDE DRIVE EROSION CONTROL PROJECT NUMBER PKR-D-00009, IN THE AMOUNT OF $307,000 FROM TEAGUE NALL PERKINS INCORPORATED FOR THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU, DR. SMITH. WELL, THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I PULLED THIS ITEM OFF OF THE CONSENT AGENDA BECAUSE OF THE ARCHEOLOGICAL SURVEY THAT'S PART OF THE SCOPE OF WORK.

AND CHECKING WITH THE STAFF, THERE'S NOTHING AT THIS SITE TO INDICATE THAT THERE WOULD BE AN ARCHEOLOGICAL FIND, AND STAFF DOES NOT ANTICIPATE ANY CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT FINDINGS AS A RESULT OF THE ARCHEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

I DID, HOWEVER, FIND OUT DURING THE BREAK AFTER I PULLED THIS FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA THAT THERE IS A STATE LAW REQUIREMENT IN THE TEXAS ANTIQUITIES ACT, THAT ANY TIME WE ARE DISTURBING A CREEK BED, WE HAVE TO DO AN ARCHEOLOGICAL SURVEY, WHICH APPARENTLY IS GOING TO COST US $20,700, WHICH IS THE PRICE OF A CAR.

SO I GUESS WE HAVE TO COMPLY WITH STATE LAW, BUT IN ALL LIKELIHOOD, WE'RE GOING TO SPEND $20,000 DIGGING JUST TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NOTHING THERE.

AND THEN THERE WILL BE NOTHING THERE.

AND THEN THAT'S MONEY THAT, YOU KNOW, COULD HAVE BEEN USED FOR HERITAGE PRESERVATION IN MORE FRUITFUL WAYS.

LIKE WE HEARD AT THE LAST MEETING, $11,000 TO MAINTAIN A CEMETERY THAT ACTUALLY IS A HERITAGE ASSET RATHER THAN $20,000 TO DIG AND PROBABLY FIND NOTHING. AND SO ANYWAY, I WILL ASK THAT WE HAVE AN ITEM AT A FUTURE MEETING TO ADD AN AMENDMENT TO THE TEXAS ANTIQUITIES ACT, TO OUR LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM, BECAUSE I'M SURE THIS IS COSTING CITIES ACROSS THE STATE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS EVERY YEAR IN PROBABLY UNNECESSARY DIGS, WHERE THERE IS REALLY NOTHING ON THE SURFACE TO INDICATE THAT THERE MIGHT BE ANYTHING THERE THAT COULD BE USED FOR MORE FRUITFUL HERITAGE PRESERVATION PROJECTS.

BUT SINCE WE ARE BOUND BY CURRENT STATE LAW, I WILL MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM K AS IS.

I'LL SECOND BOTH OF THOSE THINGS.

ALL RIGHT. SO I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE ITEM K ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

ALL IN FAVOR RAISE YOUR HAND.

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, NEXT ITEM.

I HOPE WE FIND SOMETHING ANTHONY.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE A SPECIAL CEREMONY JUST FOR YOU ANTHONY IF WE FIND SOMETHING.

[(2)  

Public Hearing and consideration of an Ordinance as requested in Zoning Case 2024-021 to amend the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance of the City, Ordinance No. 2015-5-2, as heretofore amended, rezoning 19.8 acres of land located on the southwest corner of Alma Drive and Park Boulevard in the City of Plano, Collin County, Texas, from Planned Development-60-General Office and Planned Development-109-Retail/General Office to Planned Development-109-Retail/General Office and modifying development standards, directing a change accordingly in the official zoning map of the City; and providing a penalty clause, a repealer clause, a savings clause, a severability clause, a publication clause, and an effective date.  Petitioner: Plano Independent School District

PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AS REQUESTED IN ZONING CASE 2024-21 TO AMEND THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY. ORDINANCE NUMBER 2015-5-2 AS HERETOFORE AMENDED, REZONING 19.8 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF ALMA DRIVE AND PARK BOULEVARD IN THE CITY OF PLANO, COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS, FROM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 60 GENERAL OFFICE AND PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 109 RETAIL GENERAL OFFICE TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 109 RETAIL GENERAL OFFICE AND MODIFYING DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, DIRECTING A CHANGE ACCORDINGLY IN THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF THE CITY, PROVIDING A PENALTY CLAUSE, A REPEALER CLAUSE, A SAVINGS CLAUSE, A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, A PUBLICATION CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR, COUNCIL EXECUTIVES, I'M CHRISTINA DAY, THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING.

AND SO WE HAVE A COUPLE OF ZONING CASES FOR YOU THIS EVENING, FIRST IS CASE 21.

THIS IS A REALLY A CASE THAT FOCUSES ON AMENDING THE EXISTING ZONING DUE TO A DESIGN THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE SPECIFIC PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

YOU'LL SEE THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION IS ACTUALLY PART OF TWO DIFFERENT PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS RIGHT NOW AND IS UNDEVELOPED, THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT AREA IS UNDEVELOPED, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A GAS STATION AND CONVENIENCE STORE ON THE CORNER, WHICH IS NOT PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT THAT THIS CONTEMPLATES.

SO THIS IS THE DEVELOPMENT IN QUESTION THAT'S LED TO THIS ZONING CASE.

IT IS A CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION CENTER FOR PLANO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT WOULD CONSOLIDATE SOME OPERATIONS ONTO THIS SITE THAT ARE CURRENTLY AT VARIOUS SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS.

SO THE SITE'S HISTORY IS SORT OF KEY IN UNDERSTANDING WHAT IT IS WE'RE DOING HERE TONIGHT.

YOU CAN SEE FROM THE EARLY OLD AERIAL WHERE THERE'S NOT MUCH DEVELOPMENT OUT THERE.

THIS WAS HAS BEEN PART OF TWO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS FOR A LONG TIME.

IT WAS PARTIALLY REZONED IN THE 1970S.

THE CONVENIENCE STORE DEVELOPED, AND THEN WE ACTUALLY REZONED IN 2001 TO ESTABLISH PD 109, WHICH A SITE PLAN WAS ACTUALLY TIED TO SO THAT THERE'S A VERY SPECIFIC DESIGN.

THE GRAPHIC ON THE RIGHT SHOWS YOU THE KIND OF LAYOUT OF SEVERAL OFFICE BUILDINGS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY PART OF THE PD REQUEST.

SO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT HERE IS TO EXPAND THE PD TO INCLUDE THE ENTIRE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

SO AGAIN, IT'S NOT SPLIT INTO TWO DIFFERENT ZONING DISTRICTS.

IT WOULD ELIMINATE THE CONCEPT PLAN WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE CTE CENTER TO WORK BECAUSE THEIR CURRENT DESIGN DOESN'T WORK WITH THE CONCEPT PLAN THAT'S ADOPTED BY ORDINANCE TODAY.

AND THEN IT WOULD ALLOW US ALSO TO INTRODUCE STIPULATIONS THAT PROJECT THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOOD FROM SOME OPEN STORAGE AND SERVICE AREAS THAT ARE PART OF THE PROPOSED DESIGN.

SO THIS IS THE FIRST FEW PLANNED DEVELOPMENT STIPULATIONS, WHICH ARE FOCUSED ON THAT BUFFER BETWEEN THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOOD ACROSS COLUMBIA PLACE AND THE PROPOSED CTE CENTER.

THERE ARE GOING TO BE THINGS LIKE AUTO MECHANICS AND WELDING AND THINGS THAT MAY CREATE NOISE.

THEY'RE ALSO PROPOSING THE DISTRICT IS PROPOSING SOME OPEN STORAGE, BUT THEY'VE PUT IN A SUBSTANTIAL BUFFER, A EIGHT FOOT SCREENING WALL, AND THEN AN EXTENDED AND EXTENSIVE LANDSCAPING EDGE THAT YOU CAN SEE ALONG COLUMBIA PLACE TO PROVIDE PROTECTION.

THERE'S ALSO SLOPE OF THE PROPERTY THAT WILL HELP MITIGATE CONCERNS.

THEN FINALLY, THEY ARE ASKING TO REDUCE PARKING TO THEIR ANTICIPATED NEED FOR THIS SITE.

SO THIS IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL IS SUPPORTED AS A USE TYPE AS WELL AS IT MEETING THE LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS, LAND USE POLICY, AND UNDEVELOPED LAND POLICY. WE HAVE HAD TWO RESPONSES WITHIN THE 200 FOOT BUFFER, BOTH FROM RESIDENTIAL LOTS TO THE WEST AND IN OPPOSITION.

AND IN TOTAL WE HAVE HAD FOUR ONLINE LETTERS AND OFFICIAL LETTERS IN RESPONSE.

[00:15:04]

THESE ARE THE MAPPED RESPONSES FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL BY A VOTE OF 7 TO 0. THERE IS NO PRESENTATION AS FAR AS SLIDES FROM THE APPLICANT, BUT I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

THANK YOU CHRISTINA.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? THANKS. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THERE ARE NO SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM.

I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND CONFINE THE COMMENTS TO THE COUNCIL.

MR. MAYOR, I MAKE A MOTION WE APPROVE ITEM NUMBER TWO AS PRESENTED BY STAFF.

OKAY. SECOND.

THANK YOU. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER TWO.

ALL IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND.

MOTION PASSES.

THANK YOU. ITEM THREE.

[(3)  

Public Hearing and consideration of an Ordinance as requested in Zoning Case 2024-022 to amend the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance of the City, Ordinance No. 2015-5-2, as heretofore amended, granting Specific Use Permit No. 81 for Trade School on 0.1 acre of land located 190 feet west of Coit Road and 650 feet south of Rockingham Way in the City of Plano, Collin County, Texas, presently zoned Retail, directing a change accordingly in the official zoning map of the City; and providing a penalty clause, a repealer clause, a savings clause, a severability clause, a publication clause, and an effective date.  Petitioner: Werbo, LLC

PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AS REQUESTED IN ZONING CASE 2024-22 TO AMEND THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY ORDINANCE NUMBER 2015-5-2 AS HERETOFORE AMENDED.

GRANTING SPECIFIC USE PERMIT NUMBER 81 FOR TRADE SCHOOL ON 0.1 ACRE OF LAND LOCATED 190FT WEST OF COIT ROAD AND 650FT SOUTH OF ROCKINGHAM WAY IN THE CITY OF PLANO, COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS.

PRESENTLY ZONED RETAIL, DIRECTING A CHANGE ACCORDINGLY IN THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF THE CITY, PROVIDING A PENALTY CLAUSE, A REPEALER CLAUSE, A SAVINGS CLAUSE, A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, A PUBLICATION CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

ALL RIGHT. SO ZONING CASE 22 IS A REQUEST FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A TRADE SCHOOL.

THIS IS IN A LEASED SPACE THAT IS LOCATED OFF COIT ROAD NORTH OF PARK BOULEVARD.

YOU CAN SEE THE NOTICE AREA AS WELL AS THE AERIAL SHOWING THE VARIOUS OFFICE CONDOMINIUM TYPE ARRANGEMENT WITH SMALL OFFICE BUILDINGS THERE ON COIT ROAD.

THE BUSINESS IS DEFINED CLASSIFIED AS A TRADE SCHOOL.

THEY'RE LOOKING TO TEACH LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPY.

THAT USE THE LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPY USE IS PERMITTED BY RIGHT IN THIS ZONING DISTRICT, WHICH IS THE RETAIL DISTRICT.

BUT TO ESTABLISH A TRADE SCHOOL WHERE YOU'RE ACTUALLY TEACHING IS A DIFFERENT LAND USE AND THEREFORE REQUIRES A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

THIS IS NOT LIMITED TO MASSAGE THERAPY, IT COULD BE ANY TRADE SCHOOL, BARBER, BEAUTY OR OTHER, YOU KNOW, ART SCHOOL, ANY TYPE OF TRADE. SO THE PROPOSED BUSINESS IS IN A 2,571 SQUARE FOOT SUITE WITHIN THE BUILDING. SO WITH REGARD TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, IT'S IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY.

IT MEETS THE DESCRIPTION, PRIORITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY OF THE CITY DOES NOT CHANGE THE MIX OF USES, THEREFORE, NO FINDINGS ARE REQUIRED.

WE'VE HAD NO RESPONSES WITHIN 200FT.

AND THERE'S SOME DETAIL I'LL GET INTO ON THIS IN JUST A MOMENT.

BUT WE DID HAVE ONE LETTER IN OPPOSITION ON THIS AND ONE OUTSIDE PLANO.

WE HAD TWO OTHER LETTERS AND EMAILS.

SO IF YOU NOTICED IN THE COUNCIL RESPONSES THAT WERE SENT TO YOU, THERE WAS A RESPONSE WITH AN ADDRESS LOCATED IN PLANO, BUT WE COULD NOT VERIFY THAT INDIVIDUAL HAD ALSO MARKED THAT THEY DID NOT RESIDE IN PLANO AND DID NOT HAVE A BUSINESS IN PLANO, SO, OR OWNED PROPERTY IN PLANO.

SO WE BELIEVE THEY MAY BE AFFILIATED WITH A BUSINESS THAT'S IN THE PARK, BUT WE COULDN'T CONFIRM THAT.

WE TRIED TO REACH OUT TO THEM AND JUST COULDN'T GET MORE INFORMATION.

SO THAT IS THE INFORMATION I HAVE FOR YOU ON PUBLIC RESPONSES.

AND SO YOU'LL NOTICE THERE'S NOTHING ON THE MAP BECAUSE ALL THE RESPONSES EITHER DIDN'T HAVE AN ADDRESS OR HAD THAT ONE POINT THAT WAS UNVERIFIED.

SO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL BY A VOTE OF 7 TO 0.

AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ON THIS PROPERTY.

THANKS, CHRISTINA.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? ALL RIGHT. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

WE DO HAVE ONE SPEAKER.

IT IS THE APPLICANT, JING MIAO.

ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT, I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME?

[00:20:01]

YEAH. PROBABLY. YES.

SO, I MEAN, IS IS IS THAT A CONFLICT FOR YOUR BUSINESS? WE ARE KIND OF NOT THAT BIG SCALE.

OUR STUDENTS LIKE ONLY TEN STUDENTS PER CLASS, SO, YEAH.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? I HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. SO CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE OTHER BUSINESSES THAT ARE AROUND IT? I KNOW I'VE BEEN TO THIS AREA.

I DO KNOW THERE'S SOME ONE ONE THAT I'M FAMILIAR WITH NEAR HERE IS A THERE'S A I KNOW THERE'S A CHILD LIFE THERAPIST IN HERE, SO THERE'S LOTS OF CHILDREN COMING IN HERE TO GET TO GET COUNSELING IN THIS AREA.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE OTHER TYPES OF BUSINESSES LIKE THAT THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, RIGHT IN THIS SMALL AREA.

CAN YOU SPEAK TO ANY OTHERS? THAT'S THE ONLY ONE THAT I'M FOR SURE FAMILIAR WITH RIGHT IN THAT AREA.

SURE WE LOOKED AT THIS INDIVIDUAL BUILDING PRETTY CLOSELY, AND THERE'S, I BELIEVE, A DENTIST OFFICE IN THE BUILDING AND A ATTORNEY WAS ALSO THERE.

SO I THINK IT'S TYPICAL OF MANY KIND OF SMALL OFFICE BUILDINGS, YOU'RE GOING TO FIND A LOT OF THOSE TYPE OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, MEDICAL OFFICES, PROFESSIONAL COUNSELORS, THAT TYPE OF THING. SO THAT'S THE GENERAL MIX OF USES THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE, BUT SPECIFICALLY IN THE SAME BUILDING DENTIST AND ATTORNEY.

I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND CONFINE THE COMMENTS TO THE COUNCIL.

MR. MAYOR I ALSO NOTED TO THE POINT THAT COUNCIL MEMBER PRINCE WAS RAISING YOU KNOW, THERE WERE SOME CONCERNS THAT OTHERS IN THE OFFICE PLAZA WROTE IN ABOUT FOOT TRAFFIC AND THE QUIET OFFICE PLAZA ENVIRONMENT.

IN ANY EVENT, I WILL MOVE TO DENY THIS CASE.

SECOND. SECOND.

OKAY, SO I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO DENY ITEM NUMBER THREE.

ANY COMMENTS? ALL IN FAVOR OF DENIAL, RAISE YOUR HAND.

MOTION PASSES 8 TO 0.

WE HAVE NO COMMENTS OF PUBLIC INTEREST.

NO COMMENTS OF PUBLIC INTEREST.

FURTHER BUSINESS. WE'RE ADJOURNED.

THANK YOU.
