PNC COMMISSION MEETING. I RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR THE MINUTES REMAINING. NEED A SECOND? ITEM NUMBER TWO I WILL BE. I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:33 P.M. OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. THIS ITEM HERE, NUMBER TWO, IS A SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST. CASE NUMBER 2025, DASH 017 SUP. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING. DISCUSS AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL. AND A REQUEST FOR AN SCP FOR AN INSTITUTION OF RELIGIOUS NATURE, OR IN THIS CASE, A CHURCH AT 404 EAST FARMERS ROAD. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE, COLIN. SO HERE IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY OUTLINED IN RED. THIS IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. JUST ACROSS THE HIGHWAY OVER HERE.HOUSES THE DOLLAR GENERAL AS WELL AS. I THINK THERE'S A BARBER SHOP IN THERE.
MISCELLANEOUS SMALL RETAIL SPACES. I BELIEVE THERE'S ALSO A VAPE STORE. THIS IS OVER ON FARMERS AND 175 FRONTAGE ROAD, JUST ADJACENT TO THE SENIOR CENTER THERE ON AVALON. SO THIS PROPERTY HERE IS OUTLINED IN RED. THE ACCORDING TO DCAD SUBJECT PROPERTY SPACE IS ACTUALLY THE CONSTRUCTION SPACE IS 960. THERE'S A TYPO THERE OR MISTAKE ON MY END IN MY REPORT.
1560 IS ACTUALLY THE LOT SIZE, 960 IS THE SQUARE FEET IS THE ACTUAL SPACE ITSELF. ACCORDING TO APPRAISAL DISTRICT. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE COLIN. AND HERE'S JUST A SURVEY OF THE PROPERTY.
THIS IS ALSO IN YOUR PACKET. YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE SIR. OKAY. SO LET ME GO BACK. SO THE REQUEST IS FOR A CHURCH AT 404 EAST FARMERS STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST. THE PROPOSED HOURS OF OPERATION ARE SUNDAY, 11 A.M. TO 1 P.M, WEDNESDAY, 7:30 P.M. TO 9 P.M. AND SATURDAY, 10 A.M. TO 1 P.M. PRESENT FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE, AND I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT IS ALSO HERE AS WELL. AND AGAIN, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS
[00:05:01]
REQUEST. 011 OTHER NOTION INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET, WE RECEIVED LETTERS OF OPPOSITION.THEY ARE ALL FROM THE SAME INDIVIDUAL WHO OWNS 406, 408 AND 418 EAST FARMERS. THE MAIN CONCERN THERE IS GOING TO BE, I BELIEVE THAT'S MILDRED THOMPSON, BELIEVE HER CONCERN IS ABOUT PARKING. SO THAT'S INCLUDED FOR YOU TO LOOK AT. YOU CAN GO BACK TO THE AERIAL. THAT BEING SAID, LOOKING AT THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT THIS SHOPPING CENTER RECEIVES AND HOW BUSY IT TENDS TO BE, THE PARKING SPACE IS SITUATED DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE PROPOSED CHURCH, STILL RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST. REQUEST? I THINK THAT THERE'S STILL ADEQUATE PARKING.
COLIN WENT OUT THERE TODAY AND YOU COUNTED 109 SPACES. IS THAT RIGHT? OKAY. ISN'T THERE A CHURCH ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS ONE? THE LITTLE HOUSE. GOOD QUESTION. YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU.
SHERRY. AND ANOTHER QUESTION. MILDRED THOMPSON. SO THIS 406 AND 408, IS THIS ON BOTH SIDES? SHE OWNS THOSE. OR DOES SHE OPERATE BUSINESSES THERE? I BELIEVE DCAD SHOWED OWNERSHIP AS SOMETHING AROUND. IT WAS LIKE THOMPSON LLC OR THOMPSON ENTERPRISES, SOMETHING OF THAT SORT. SO I BELIEVE SHE MAY BE THE OWNER OF THE SITE. WE WOULD SEND IT DIRECTLY TO HER AS A PROPERTY. DOES SHE HAVE BUSINESSES ONGOING THERE, OR IS SHE LIKE RENT TO PEOPLE THAT HAVE BUSINESSES? I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION. SHE RENTS, DO YOU KNOW? OKAY, OKAY. I HAVE NO OTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. I NOTICED I MEAN, MY OPINION IS THE HOURS ARE NOT REALLY GOING TO BE PROBABLY IN BUSINESS HOURS IN THAT AREA TO ME. I DON'T SEE THAT. I MEAN, I'M THERE. I USED TO GO BY THERE A LOT, BUT ANYWAY, THAT'S. WELL, CAN I MAKE A STATEMENT TO THAT? WHETHER THE CHURCH OR ANOTHER BUSINESS, THEY'RE STILL GOING TO BE TRAFFIC THERE. SO THAT'S THE WAY I LOOK AT IT. AND YOU MAY THEY OPEN ANOTHER VAPE SHOP. YOU MAY HAVE MORE TRAFFIC THAN THE CHURCH. SO. CONCERN IT WAS ABOUT PARKING. BUT THAT'S UNIVERSAL PARKING FOR THAT WHOLE SHOPPING AREA. CORRECT. SO I DON'T SEE WHAT PARKING COULD BE THAT BIG OF AN ISSUE. IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT LITTLE STRIP, YOU KNOW. ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WANT TO SPEAK ON THIS? OKAY. IF YOU WOULD COME TO THE PODIUM AND TURN ON YOUR MICROPHONE AND STATE YOUR NAME, PLEASE. OKAY.
HI. I AM VERONICA WASHINGTON, AND I AM A MEMBER OF THAT CHURCH THAT WANTS TO BE AT 404. I PERSONALLY HAVE OBSERVED THE AREA. JUST KIND OF OBSERVING, AND I DON'T MEAN ANY DISRESPECT KNOWING THAT THERE'S A LOT OF TRAFFIC THAT GOES IN AND OUT. I THINK A CHURCH WOULD KIND OF CALM THAT DOWN, POSSIBLY. AND AS IT WAS STATED THAT THE HOURS WOULD NOT BE INTERFERING WITH BUSINESS HOURS. SO THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WHAT ELSE? I'M TRYING TO GET A MOTION. I RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR PROPOSED SPECIAL USE PERMIT. MOTION FOR APPROVAL. NEED A SECOND? GOT A SECOND? ALL IN FAVOR? GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 639. OH. ITEM NUMBER THREE, DISCUSS AND TAKE ACTION ON A SITE PLAN FOR DAIRY QUEEN LOCATED AT 550 NORTH HIGHWAY 175 SIGMA TEXAS.
75159. BILL, PLEASE. THANK YOU AGAIN, MR. CHAIRMAN. SO HERE'S THE SUBJECT. PROPERTY OUTLINED
[00:10:06]
IN GREEN. IT IS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO OUR DISPATCH CENTER AND TO THE ACE HARDWARE HERE ALONG 175, WHICH MAKES IT WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE FOR OUR LUNCH HOURS HERE AT CITY HALL. SO NEXT SLIDE PLEASE, COLIN. SO IT'S KIND OF GOT A FUNKY ZONING ON IT. IT'S GOT THIS SPLIT ZONING OF SUP TOWARDS THE REAR AND LOCAL RETAIL TOWARDS THE FRONT. WE DID SOME DIGGING INTO OUR ZONING ORDINANCE AND FOUND THE BASE ZONING IS ACTUALLY LOCAL RETAIL. SO AS FAR AS ZONING GOES, THE LAND USE IS PERMITTED AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE ADJACENT NEARBY USES AS WELL. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE COLIN. SO THIS IS THE SITE PLAN HERE IN QUESTION. IT'S A 1946FT■!S OF A BRAND NEW DAIRY QUEEN. THEY ARE SHOWING TWO POINTS OF ACCESS. ONE TO THE BOTTOM HERE. THIS WOULD BE TO THE EAST, TECHNICALLY, BUT TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN. THERE IS A DEDICATED 24 FOOT WIDE INGRESS AND EGRESS EASEMENT THERE ON THE ACE HARDWARE PROPERTY. THAT WAS DEDICATED WAY BACK WHEN, WHEN THE SITE WAS INITIALLY DEVELOPED. SO ONE ACCESS POINT WOULD COME OFF OF THAT EASEMENT. THE APPLICANT'S REQUESTING A SECOND ACCESS POINT. JUST, I GUESS, WOULD BE TO THE WEST OF THE EXISTING ACCESS. STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS SITE PLAN. ONE THING TO NOTE, THOUGH, IS THAT SECOND POINT OF ACCESS IS ULTIMATELY GOING TO HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY TXDOT. TXDOT DOES REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF 425FT SEPARATION BETWEEN DRIVEWAYS. THE APPLICANT HAS A RIGHT TO PURSUE A VARIANCE, AND IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THEY GET THAT APPROVED. WE'D RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THAT IF TEXDOT, FOR WHATEVER REASON, DIDN'T APPROVE THAT ACCESS POINT, YOU STILL HAVE TWO POINTS. WELL, ULTIMATELY THREE, BUT TWO POINTS IN AND OUT OF THIS SITE, YOU STILL HAVE ADEQUATE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION THAT EASEMENT'S BEEN RECORDED WITH THE COUNTY, SO IT WILL RUN WITH THE LAND FOREVER. SO THIS PROPERTY WOULDN'T BE LANDLOCKED TO LOOK AT THE DRIVE THROUGH OR TALK ABOUT THE DRIVE THROUGH. HERE THEY ARE SHOWING 12 STACKING SPACES, I BELIEVE. LET'S SEE. SORRY, TEN STACKING SPACES FOR THE DRIVE THROUGH, WHICH SHOULD BE PLENTY OF ROOM TO SERVICE THIS THIS DAIRY QUEEN IN THE FUTURE. THE APPLICANT HAS INTENTIONS OF DEVELOPING AN ADDITIONAL RETAIL SPACE ON THIS LITTLE GREEN PAD HERE. YOU CAN SEE IT'S KIND OF SMALL PRINT, BUT IT'S IDENTIFIED AS LOT ONE R1. THIS LITTLE GREEN GREEN PAD.IF AND WHEN THAT SECOND PHASE WERE TO EVER TO DEVELOP, ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES WOULD BE REQUIRED. THE APPLICANT DEVELOPER HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THAT, AND THEY'RE GOING TO FACTOR THAT INTO FUTURE PLANS AND TRY TO EITHER GET LAND EITHER FROM THE CITY DEDICATED TO THEM, OR FROM WORK OUT A DEAL WITH THE NEIGHBORS TO MAKE THAT SITE WORK. BUT RIGHT NOW, THEIR FIRST PHASE IS THIS DAIRY QUEEN HERE. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE, COLIN. HERE IS AN ELEVATION OF THE PROPOSED DAIRY QUEEN. IT'S A PRETTY STANDARD FOR WHAT'S ALLOWED. I'M NOT WHAT'S ALLOWED FOR WHAT WE'RE SEEING NOW AS NEW DAIRY QUEEN. YOU HAVE TO DRIVE THROUGH ALL THE COLORS.
EVERYTHING LOOKS CORRECT. SO I'M PRESENT FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. CURRENTLY. THE APPLICANT, THE APPLICANT'S GONE AHEAD AND HAS SUBMITTED CIVIL ENGINEERING PLANS. WE'RE REVIEWING THOSE AS WELL. THAT INCLUDES DRAINAGE, GRADING, PAVING, WATER, SEWER EROSION CONTROL, LIGHTING PLANS, KIND OF ALL THE TECHNICAL STUFF THAT GOES INTO BUILDING ALL THE CONSTRUCTION. TODAY'S APPROVAL IS JUST FOR THE SITE PLAN. SO AGAIN, I'M PRESENT FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. AND WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST. AND THE APPLICANT IS ALSO HERE AS WELL IN CASE YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OF HIM. I HAVE A QUESTION IN THE FRONT OF THE DAIRY QUEEN. IS THIS LIKE FOR PICNIC AREAS OR PLAYGROUND AND WILL IT BE COVERED? THEIR PLANS AREN'T SHOWING COVERING, BUT THAT SPACE DOES MEASURE 31FT BY 20FT OF LIKE A FRONT PORCH AREA.
I'D LIKE THE APPLICANT TO SPEAK ON THAT MATTER IF YOU STATE YOUR NAME. I'M SORRY. NO. YOU'RE GOOD, YOU'RE GOOD. TOMMY. GOOD EVENING. I'M PAT DREEBEN WITH PSA ENGINEERING AND REPRESENT DAIRY QUEEN CORPORATION. WHAT WE BROUGHT TO YOU HERE IS THE 2000 SQUARE FOOT RESTAURANT BUILDING WITH DRIVE THROUGH AND 34 SEATING CAPACITY. IN THE BUILDING, WE HAVE TEN PARKING SPACES THAT FALL BEYOND THE ORDERING BOARD AND SIX BEHIND THE ORDERING BOARD. THE AREA WHERE YOU'RE QUESTIONING IS IN THE FRONT. IT'S FOR IF WE HAVE TO, WE CAN PUT IN AN OUTDOOR TABLE OR TWO FOR LIKE, NOT RIGHT NOW, BUT FOR LIKE WINTER AND FALL WHERE THE WEATHER IS NICE
[00:15:09]
THAT YOU WANT TO SIT AND HAVE A SOFT SERVE OUTSIDE. OKAY, SO IT WILL NOT BE COVERED THEN? NO MA'AM. IT NOT NOT COVERED. IT'S JUST THE STONE BLOCK THAT WE PUT DOWN. I THINK I'VE SEEN THAT AT OTHER DAIRY QUEENS WHERE THEY DON'T HAVE THE COVERAGE. JUST A PATIO. YEAH. IT'S LIKE THAT. CAN YOU HOLD IT UP, PLEASE? THANK YOU. YES, JUST LIKE THAT. YEAH. IT'S NICE. THIS IS THE ONE THAT WE JUST COMPLETED TWO MONTHS AGO AND OPEN NOW IN LAKEWOOD. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE QUESTIONS? THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU. I'M LOOKING FOR A MOTION. HANG ON. I DO HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION. SORRY.IT DOES. NO, IT'S THE BILL. BILL? AS FAR AS THE OTHER ENTRANCE, HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD TAKE? AS FAR AS GETTING IT APPROVED THROUGH TEXDOT AND COMING BACK BEFORE COUNCIL? SURE. SO IF TEXDOT WERE TO APPROVE THAT REQUEST FOR THAT ADDITIONAL DRIVEWAY, PROBABLY TAKE A COUPLE MONTHS. OKAY. REALLY, THEY TEND TO LOOK FOR IF THE CITY IS SUPPORTING OF THE PROJECT, THAT GOES A LONG WAY FOR THE APPLICANT. IF TEXDOT APPROVES IT, IT WOULD NOT NEED TO COME BACK TO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OR COUNCIL. THAT'S WELL WITHIN TEXDOT RIGHT TO APPROVE THAT. OKAY. AND HOW SOON ARE THEY LOOKING AT GETTING STARTED ON THIS? EVERYTHING PANS OUT, I THINK. YEAH, I THINK, I THINK PANS WAITING ON CIVIL APPROVAL AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO SUBMIT THEIR MAPS. SO I MEAN I'LL LET PAN SEE HOW FAST THEY CAN MOVE. BUT WE'RE READY TO, TO GET SORRY. THAT'S OKAY. MY DIRECTIVE FROM THE CORPORATION IS WE OPEN THIS BY CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR SO WE CAN MOVE FAST. AS FAR AS TEXDOT, IF THE CITY WOULD WORK WITH US, WE'LL HOLD PAVING JUST THE DRIVEWAY UNTIL WE GET PERMIT FROM TEXDOT. BUT WE STILL HAVE ENOUGH CIRCULATION TO GET SEAL TO THE BUILDING TO GET IT OPEN. THEY WANT TO OPEN BY CHRISTMAS SO YOU CAN HAVE SOFT SERVE BY THEN. THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. PLAN SPLITS. IT TAKES 100 AND 120 DAYS TO BUILD FROM GROUND UP, TO HAVE A SOFT OPENING, AND WE USE THE SAME CONTRACTOR FOR ALL THE DAIRY QUEENS SO THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING. LOOKING FOR A MOTION. I RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN PACKAGE. GOT A MOTION TO APPROVE? NEED A SECOND? GOT A SECOND? ALL IN FAVOR? ANY NEW BUSINESS? NOT AT THIS TIME, MR. CHAIRMAN. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE
