A REQUEST FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A TRADE SCHOOL ON ONE LOT ON 0.1 ACRE.

LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF DEXTER DRIVE, 710FT EAST OF PRESTON ROAD.

ZONED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 194 GENERAL OFFICE.

THE PETITIONER IS LOKRE ENTERPRISES. THIS ITEM IS FOR LEGISLATIVE CONSIDERATION.

GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS DESTINY WOODS, PLANNER WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.

OKAY. SO THESE OOPS. LET'S GO BACK TO THAT ONE.

SO THESE IMAGES SHOW THE AERIAL VIEW AND LOCATION OF THE REQUEST.

AND THIS SHOWS THE ZONING EXHIBIT. SO IN 1984 THE PD 194 ZONING DISTRICT WAS ESTABLISHED AND IN 2019 THE SITE WAS DEVELOPED WITH GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES AS WELL AS MEDICAL OFFICE SUITES AND THE PROPOSED USE IS A TRADE SCHOOL WHICH WILL TRAIN STUDENTS TO RECEIVE A STATE LICENSE IN BARBERING AND COSMETOLOGY. THE TRADE SCHOOL WILL BE LOCATED IN A TWO STORY SUITE OF THE EXISTING OFFICE BUILDING, AND THE REQUEST IS FOR A CHANGE OF USE AND WILL HAVE NO ASSOCIATED SITE IMPROVEMENTS AND PERSONAL SERVICE SHOP IS A SIMILAR USE, WHICH ALSO APPLIES TO BARBERING AND COSMETOLOGY AND IS PERMITTED BY RIGHT IN THE ZONING DISTRICT, SO STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF THIS CHANGE OF USE.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN THE EMPLOYMENT CENTERS AREA OF THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, AND THE REQUEST MEETS THE POLICIES SET BY THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

STAFF DID NOT RECEIVE ANY LETTERS WITHIN THE 200 FOOT BUFFER OR CITYWIDE, AND STAFF RECOMMENDS THIS ITEM FOR APPROVAL AS SUBMITTED, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

THE APPLICANT IS ALSO HERE FOR QUESTIONS. COMMISSION.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? NOBODY. COMMISSIONER OLLEY.

JUST ONE RELATIVELY WROTE. GIVEN THE SUBMITTED APPLICANTS PLANS, INFORMATION, THE OPERATING DATA THEY HAVE SUBMITTED.

DO WE KNOW OF ANY REASON WHY THE BUSINESS FUNCTION WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR THIS SITE? NO, NOT FROM OUR ANALYSIS. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. NO OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.

[00:05:08]

ALL RIGHT. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. DO WE HAVE ANY REGISTERED SPEAKERS FOR THIS ITEM? ONLY THE APPLICANT WHO'S HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? NO.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. RESTRICT COMMENTS TO STAFF TO COMMISSION.

COMMISSIONER BROUNOFF. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

I THINK THIS IS AN ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE USE FOR THE LAND, CONSIDERING THAT THE OCCUPATIONS FOR WHICH THEY WILL BE TRAINING THEIR STUDENTS ARE ALREADY LEGAL ON THIS PROPERTY. SO THEREFORE, I'D LIKE TO MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM NUMBER ONE AS SUBMITTED BY STAFF.

COMMISSIONER TONG. I SECOND. ALL RIGHT. HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? NOBODY. ALL RIGHT. PLEASE VOTE.

MOTION PASSES 8 TO 0. THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING TO VISIT WITH US TONIGHT.

LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF LEGACY DRIVE AND COMMUNICATIONS PARKWAY WITHIN THE DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY OVERLAY DISTRICT. THIS ITEM WAS TABLED ON JANUARY 21ST, 2025 AND FEBRUARY 17TH, 2025.

THE PETITIONER IS LEGACY WEST INVESTORS. HELLO AGAIN.

SO MY NAME IS DESTINY. PLANNER WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, AND THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED TO TABLE THIS ITEM UNTIL THE MARCH 25TH PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING. SO THAT THEY CAN REFINE THEIR REQUEST FOR A FIRE CODE VARIANCE THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ZONING CASE.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. JUST I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT IT IN PRELIMINARY, BUT JUST FOR THE PUBLIC RECORD DO WE FEEL CONFIDENT THAT WE CAN HAVE THAT ZONING, THAT VARIANCE REQUEST WORKED OUT WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT BY OUR NEXT MEETING? YES. THE IT'S STILL UNDER REVIEW WITH OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT, BUT WE DO.

STAFF DOES BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE READY BY THE REQUESTED MEETING DATE.

GREAT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? NOBODY.

COMMISSIONER BROUNOFF. YEAH, JUST AS A GENERAL CONSIDERATION.

I MEAN, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT. OH, GENERALLY YOU KNOW, ITEMS ARE READY FOR OUR CONSIDERATION WHEN THEY FIRST APPEAR ON OUR AGENDA, RATHER THAN HAVING US POSTPONE AND POSTPONE AND POSTPONE.

I REALIZE THERE MAY BE, YOU KNOW, EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES AND THIS MAY BE ONE OF THOSE CASES, BUT GENERALLY, I'D LIKE TO SEE APPLICANTS ENCOURAGED TO BE READY BEFORE WE GET THE CASE, SO WE CAN ACT ON IT PROMPTLY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER BRONSKY. SO IF I AM CORRECT THAT WE CAN IN FACT, INFORM THEM THAT SHOULD THIS HAVE TO BE TABLED AT ANOTHER TIME, THIS COULD EXPOSE THEM TO THE INDEFINITE TABLING WE HAVE AT OUR DISCRETION, ALWAYS TO TABLE INDEFINITELY OR TO TABLE TO A DATE CERTAIN IF WE TABLE INDEFINITELY, IT DOES REQUIRE IT TO BE NOTICED.

SO WE JUST HAVE THAT AS A TOOL IN OUR TOOLBOX.

I KNOW WE HAVE TALKED AND PRELIMINARY SESSION ABOUT AT WHAT POINT WE USE THAT TOOL AND WE'LL USE IT AS NEEDED WITH THE DIFFERENT CASES.

I THINK, GIVEN THE EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES OF THIS CASE IT SEEMS A TABLING TO A DATE CERTAIN IS CERTAINLY APPROPRIATE.

YEAH, [INAUDIBLE]. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF? NOBODY. OKAY. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM? THERE ARE NONE. ONLY THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? NOBODY.

I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT. PLEASE VOTE.

[3. (DW) Replat & Preliminary Site Plan: Rowlett Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, Block 1, Lot 3 – Professional/general administrative office on one lot on 3.8 acres located on the north side of 14th Street, 500 feet east of Los Rios Boulevard. Zoned Planned Development-82-Neighborhood Office and Agricultural. Projects #R2025-004 & #PSP2024-050. Applicant: North Texas Municipal Water District. (Replat: Legislative consideration of subdivision ordinance variance; Preliminary Site Plan: Administrative consideration pending Board of Adjustment approval of zoning ordinance variance)]

[00:10:06]

AGENDA ITEM NUMBER THREE IS A REPLAT AND PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN FOR ROWLETT CREEK REGIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT BLOCK ONE, LOT THREE. PROFESSIONAL. GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE ON ONE LOT ON 3.8 ACRES.

LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF 14TH STREET, 500FT EAST OF LOS RIOS BOULEVARD.

ZONED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 82 NEIGHBORHOOD OFFICE AND AGRICULTURAL.

THE APPLICANT IS NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT.

THIS ITEM IS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE CONSIDERATION PENDING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT.

APPROVAL OF ZONING ORDINANCE VARIANCE. GOOD EVENING.

COMMISSION. MY NAME IS DESTINY WOODS, PLANNER WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.

AND HERE YOU CAN SEE THE LOCATION OF THE REQUEST AND THE ASSOCIATED PLANS.

OKAY. SO ON NOVEMBER 18TH, 2024, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION APPROVED A REPLAT TO SUBDIVIDE THE LAND FOR THE PROPOSED OFFICE BUILDING FROM THE LOT TO THE EAST AS PART OF A TWO STEP PROCESS.

APPROVAL OF THE REPLAT IN STEP ONE INCLUDED A VARIANCE TO TEMPORARILY ALLOW A LANDLOCKED LOT WITH NO FRONTAGE TO A PUBLIC STREET, AND THE SUBSEQUENT REPLAT NEEDED IN STEP TWO IS TO RECONFIGURE THE LAND AND INTO A FLAG LOT WITH FRONTAGE AND ACCESS TO 14TH STREET. SO THE PURPOSE OF THE REPLAT TODAY IS TO COMPLETE STEP TWO OF THIS PROCESS.

SO THE DEVELOPMENT FOR EXISTING. SO THERE'S A WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

THIS IS AN EXISTING SITE WITH NO PROPOSED SITE CHANGES, AND THE THERE'S AN EXISTING SECURITY FENCE WHICH WILL BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE THE MOST OF THE PROPOSED SUBJECT PROPERTY AND THEN THE OFFICE BUILDING, WHICH IS BEING PROPOSED WITH THIS REQUEST IS WILL SUPPORT THE EXISTING TREATMENT PLANT TO THE NORTH AND THE NEW GATE LOCATION IS GOING TO BE PROPOSED WITHIN THE FRONT YARD SETBACK AND WE'LL GO THROUGH A REQUIRED ACCESS EASEMENT AND THE GATE LOCATION IS SHOWN WITH THE YELLOW CIRCLE ON THE MAP.

YOU CAN SEE THERE. SO WITH THE REQUEST IT WILL REQUIRE VARIANCES FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AS WELL AS THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT.

SO THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING FOR THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION TO ALLOW FOR THE ACCESS EASEMENT TO BE GATED AND THEY'RE REQUESTING FOR THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT TO ALLOW AN INCREASE IN THE ALLOWED HEIGHT OF A FENCE WITHIN THE FRONT YARD.

SETBACK AND THIS SLIDE JUST SHOWS THE CRITERIA THAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION SHOULD CONSIDER WHEN APPROVING A VARIANCE AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL FOR THE REPLAT, WITH THE REQUESTED VARIANCE TO ALLOW FOR AN ACCESS EASEMENT TO BE GATED, AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL FOR THE PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN, SUBJECT TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT APPROVAL TO INCREASE THE ALLOWED HEIGHT OF A FENCE IN THE FRONT YARD SETBACK, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? COMMISSIONER OLLEY. I JUST WANT CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE THAT SHOWED THE GATE LOCATIONS? JUST A VERY QUICK QUESTION. THE EXISTING GATES ARE GOING TO REMAIN OR ARE THEY SHUTTING THOSE DOWN, EXTENDING THE FENCE AND OPENING ONLY ONE ACCESS POINT, SO THE GATE TO THE WEST AND TO THE NORTH WILL REMAIN.

AND THEN OF THE SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT. AND THEN THERE'S ALSO A GATE ON THE PROPERTY LINE BETWEEN THE SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT AND THE PROPOSED ADMIN BUILDING.

THAT GATE WILL BE REMOVED AND REROUTED AROUND THE PROPOSED ADMIN BUILDING ACROSS THAT RED LINE SHOWING THE ACCESS EASEMENT.

OKAY, SO THE TWO TOP GATES WILL REMAIN FOR DIRECT ACCESS TO THE SEWAGE PLANT, WHICH MAKES SENSE FROM AN OPERATIONS PERSPECTIVE.

AND THE GATE ON THE BUFFER LINE WILL BE CLOSED UP.

BETTER SECURITY. YOU HAVE ONE ACCESS POINT THROUGH THE GATE.

WE ARE THEY'RE ASKING TO BE OPEN NOW, RIGHT? SO.

RIGHT. IF. RIGHT. SO IF THEY WEREN'T TO REMOVE THE GATE AT THE TOP OF THE PROPOSED LOT, THEN THERE WOULD BE TWO PARALLEL GATES THAT YOU'D HAVE TO GO THROUGH WITH THIS REQUEST. THEY WANT TO MAKE ONE GATE FURTHER DOWN TOWARD 14TH.

UNDERSTOOD. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER TONG. THANKS, CHAIRMAN.

SO WHAT KIND OF ACCESS EASEMENT? IS REQUIRED HERE? IS IT FIRE? IS IT ELECTRIC UTILITY OR WHAT KIND OF ACCESS?

[00:15:03]

IT'S JUST AN ACCESS EASEMENT SO THAT THE PUBLIC CAN ACCESS THE LOT.

SO EACH LOT IS REQUIRED TO HAVE ACCESS. OKAY.

IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY OTHER THINGS LIKE RELATED TO THIS PARTICULAR EASEMENT.

IT'S ONLY TO PROVIDE AN ACCESS TO THAT LOT OR TO THAT BUILDING.

IT IS ALSO A FIRE LANE. BUT THOSE ARE ALLOWED TO BE GATED WITH MEETING THE CRITERIA WHICH THEY DO MEET, BUT THEY DON'T MEET THE CRITERIA TO GET THE ACCESS EASEMENT.

OKAY. YEAH, THAT WAS MY CONCERN. IF IT WAS LIKE A FIRE LANE ACCESS OR UTILITY ACCESS AND THEY HAD THE GATE THERE, WOULD IT REQUIRE THEM TO UNLOCK THE GATE WHEN THERE'S A FIRE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? RIGHT. SO IF SINCE IT'S A FIRE LANE, THEY'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE A KNOX BOX THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAN ENTER THROUGH, AND THEY DO HAVE THAT PROVIDED WITH THIS REQUEST.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF? ALL RIGHT. IT'S NOT A PUBLIC HEARING, BUT DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS REGISTERED? OH, THERE ARE NONE. OKAY. COMMISSIONER BRONSKY.

SORRY, I DIDN'T SEE YOUR LIGHT ON . I MOVE. I MOVE, WE FOLLOW STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION FOR THIS CASE.

COMMISSIONER ALALI. I'LL SECOND AND COMMISSIONER OLLEY, DO YOU HAVE A COMMENT? ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

PLEASE VOTE. MOTION PASSES 8 TO 0.

ITEM NUMBER 4. AGENDA. ITEM NUMBER FOUR IS A DISCUSSION AND ACTION FOR REQUESTS TO WAIVE THE TWO YEAR WAITING PERIOD FOR CONSIDERATION OF A

[4. (DS) Discussion and Action – Request to Waive the Two-Year Waiting Period: Request to waive the two-year waiting period for consideration of a rezoning request for Planned Development-58-Corridor Commercial on 19.1 acres located at the southwest corner of Plano Parkway and Executive Drive. Applicant: Jackson Walker, LLP. Project #DI2025- 002. (Legislative consideration)]

REZONING REQUEST FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. 58 CORRIDOR COMMERCIAL ON 19.1 ACRES LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF PLANO PARKWAY AND EXECUTIVE DRIVE.

THE APPLICANT IS JACKSON WALKER LLP. THIS ITEM IS FOR LEGISLATIVE CONSIDERATION.

GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS DONNA SEPULVADO, LEAD PLANNER WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THAT THE COMMISSION WAIVE THE TWO YEAR WAITING PERIOD TO ALLOW THEM TO SUBMIT ANOTHER ZONING CASE.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO REUSE THE EXISTING BUILDING FOR A COWORKING WAREHOUSE SPACE FOR SMALL BUSINESSES, AND DUE TO THE COMPLEXITIES OF THE ZONING STAFF, RECOMMENDS THAT THE APPLICANT REZONE TO ABOLISH THE EXISTING STANDARDS OR MODIFY THEM TO FIT THE USE THAT THEY ARE PROPOSING. THEREFORE, STAFF RECOMMENDS WAIVING THE TWO YEAR WAITING PERIOD AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. SO MAKE SURE I'M UNDERSTANDING THIS IS NOT THE HEARING TO ADDRESS THIS.

THIS IS JUST TO GIVE THEM THE WAIVER TO COME BACK TO US PRIOR TO TWO YEARS.

SO WE'RE NOT HERE TO DEBATE THE ACTUAL LAND USE AND THE PROPOSAL, ONLY THEIR RIGHT TO COME BACK.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

COMMISSION. ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF? COMMISSIONER OLLEY.

JUST ONE. SO ONE OF THE CRITERIA IS WE HAVE IN ORDER TO GRANT THIS IS A CHANGE OF CONDITIONS, THE CONDITIONS THAT MIGHT POSSIBLY IMPACT OR TRIGGER US GIVING THIS GRANT WHERE THOSE IMPOSED BY US. THE LAST TIME WE HAD THE ZONING CASE FOR FRY'S ELECTRONICS.

RIGHT. I THINK THE CHANGE OF CONDITIONS IS THAT THEY NOW HAVE A USER TO TAKE OVER THE EXISTING SPACE, AND THAT WAS NOT KNOWN AT THE TIME OF REZONING ORIGINALLY.

IT DOESN'T MEAN LIKE CONDITIONS OF AN SUP. IT JUST MEANS, IN THE GENERAL SENSE, A CHANGE OF CONDITIONS, WHETHER IT BE OWNERSHIP OR IS THERE A MATERIALITY THRESHOLD, IT'S SUBJECT TO THE DECISION OF THE COMMISSION.
