[1. Planning and Zoning Commission to conduct a briefing session to discuss all items scheduled on tonight’s agenda. No action will be taken. Each item will be considered during the Regular Session which immediately follows the Joint Public Hearings. ]

[INAUDIBLE] YES, SIR.

WE HAVE FIVE JOINT PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS THIS EVENING, THE FIRST OF WHICH IS A CONDITIONAL USE, PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL OFFICE WAREHOUSE DEVELOPMENT.

THIS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT IS TO ALLOW OUTSIDE VEHICLE STORAGE ASSOCIATED WITH A PROPOSED 120 SQUARE FOOT OFFICE WAREHOUSE DEVELOPMENT OFF OF STATE HIGHWAY 360.

THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED PID PLANNED INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND IS PRESENTLY UNDEVELOPED.

THE OFFICE WAREHOUSE USES PERMITTED BY RIGHT IN THE PID DISTRICT, WHICH FOLLOWS THE USES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT.

AS YOU CAN SEE OUTLINED ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU, SHADED IN GREEN, THERE WILL BE PROPOSED 16 SPACES FOR THE STORAGE OF COMMERCIAL VEHICLES LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY, AND THEY ARE PROPOSED TO BE VISUALLY SCREENED FROM STATE HIGHWAY 360 BY THE BUILDING AND BY THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH AND EAST BY BOTH RETAINING WALLS, SHRUBS AND TREES.

THERE'S ALSO QUITE A BIT OF LARGE GREEN SPACE HERE IMMEDIATELY.

[INAUDIBLE] SURROUNDING USES INCLUDE PAVESTONE TO THE NORTH, SO THAT'S AN INDUSTRIAL USE TO THE NORTH.

THERE'S ALSO A GAS WELL DRILLING AND PRODUCTION AND WESTPORT BUSINESS PARK AND GAMESTOP AND VACANT LAND TO THE EAST.

SO SIMILAR LIKE USES SURROUNDING IT.

ACCESS TO THE SITE IS PROPOSED BY TWO NEW DRIVEWAYS FROM STATE HIGHWAY 360, WHICH HAS SOME PRELIMINARY APPROVALS FROM LOCAL AREA TXDOT OFFICE.

TOTAL NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES REQUIRED FOR THIS USE IS 99.

PROPOSED NUMBER WILL BE 134.

AS FAR AS THESE OVER SPACE OVERSIZE VEHICLE STORAGE BAYS, THEY WILL BE 12FT IN WIDTH BY 55FT.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? MY ONLY QUESTION WAS ABOUT RETAINING [INAUDIBLE], SAYS ITS PROPOSED VARIABLE HEIGHT RETAINING WALL MAY BE 1FT TO 3 FOOT AND 2 FOOT TO 12 FOOT. THAT'S TRUE.

AND WHAT IS IT BACK IN THERE? I THINK THE ADJACENT BUT THE APPLICANT CAN SPEAK TO THAT BECAUSE IT'S PAVESTONE.

AND THEN KERNS INDUSTRIAL IS GOING TO BE TO THE EAST.

THAT'S WHY IT'S UNDEVELOPED RIGHT NOW.

BUT THAT'S THE CURRENT SITE.

YEAH. SO I MEAN, THAT'S MY ONLY QUESTION IS WHAT, YOU KNOW, HOW VARIED IS IT BACK THERE.

WHAT WHAT WAS THE DISCUSSIONS IN REGARD TO THE OUTDOOR STORAGE IN TERMS OF THE VEHICLES? IS THERE ANY JUST THAT IT WAS OVERSIZE AND YOUR 16 SPACES, IT'S GOING TO BE SCREENED.

IT'S COMMERCIAL TRACTOR TRAILERS.

YEAH, THAT WOULD BE THERE OVER THE MAIN.

YEAH. OVERNIGHT. YES.

I DIDN'T DO A GOOD JOB.

I DON'T RECALL THE SIGNAGE.

THEY ARE NOT ASKING FOR A POLE SIGN OR ANYTHING.

IF ANYTHING, THEY'LL JUST DO A MONUMENT SIGN BY.

RIGHT. OKAY.

OTHER QUESTIONS.

OKAY. THIS NEXT CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST IS TO AMEND THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SITE PLAN FOR CU [INAUDIBLE]. THIS REQUEST IS SPECIFICALLY TO ALLOW FOR THE POSSESSION, STORAGE AND RETAIL SALE AND ON AND OFF PREMISE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN EXISTING CAFÉ, WHICH IS LOCATED WITHIN THE MEOW WOLF ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS.

SO MEOW WOLF IS AN EXISTING INTERACTIVE MUSEUM ART EXHIBIT, IF YOU WILL.

IT'S ABOUT 44,000FT², AND THEY HAVE AN EXISTING CAFÉ WHICH FEATURES 32 SEATS.

AND IT OFFERS GRAB AND GO PREPARED FOOD ITEMS FROM LOCAL RESTAURANTS AND BAKERIES IN THE DFW AREA.

AND AS PART OF THIS, THEY WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SELL ALCOHOL.

MAIN ACCESS IS THROUGH THE MALL PROPER, WITH A SECONDARY ACCESS FROM A PARKING LOT.

NO OTHER CHANGES ARE PROPOSED AS PART OF THIS REQUEST TO THE SITE PLAN, OR BUILDING ELEVATIONS FOR THE SUITE OR THE MALL IN GENERAL.

A FLOOR PLAN HAS ALSO BEEN PROVIDED AND OUTLINES IN PINK, AND I BELIEVE THAT'S ORANGE ON BOTH LOCATIONS FOR ALCOHOL STORAGE AND POINT OF SALE.

[INAUDIBLE] THAT THE BATH AND BODY WORKS ENTRANCE IS THAT CONSIDERED A MAINTENANCE WHICH IS PARKING LOT ENTRANCE? WHERE IT SAYS MALL ENTRANCE? [INAUDIBLE].

I CAN'T SPEAK TO IF THAT ENTRANCE THAT WAS BATH AND BODY WORKS.

[00:05:06]

I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT.

IF THAT'S STILL THERE.

WE'D HAVE TO ASK THE THE APPLICANT DOES.

PARKING LOT ENTRANCE.

YOU CAN'T ENTER IN THERE WITHOUT PAYING.

WELL, RIGHT. SO I BET IT'S JUST IN THERE.

YEAH.

[INAUDIBLE].

THIS CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST IS.

RACE TRAC CONVENIENCE STORE WITH FUEL PUMPS OFF OF GRAPEVINE MILLS PARKWAY, PRESENTLY ZONED CC COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL.

THEY'RE PROPOSING TO REVISE THEIR SITE PLAN TO ADD SOME ADDITIONAL FEATURES, INCLUDING FUEL PUMPS, FUELING CANOPIES AND EV CHARGING STATIONS, AND THEN ALSO MANEUVERING AREA IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONVENIENCE STORE.

SO THE SITE PLAN IS A LITTLE SMALL, BUT IT SHOWS IN RED THE AREA THAT'S BEING ADDED TO PROVIDE FOR THESE ADDITIONAL DIESEL FUEL PUMPS.

THEY'RE ADDING EIGHT DIESEL FUEL PUMPS, FOUR EV CHARGING STATIONS THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY THERE TO THE CENTER OF THE SITE, AND THEN TWO CANOPIES OVER FUELING OR CHARGING AREAS AS PART OF THIS REQUEST, IT ALSO RELOCATING THEIR REFUSE COLLECTION AREA.

AND THESE TRACTOR TRAILER YOU SEE THAT, MANEUVERING AREAS HAVE BEEN REVISED AS PART OF YOUR PACKET.

THEY'VE ALSO INCLUDED RENDERINGS OF ON SITE DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE, JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION.

LOOK AT THAT. NO CHANGES ARE PROPOSED TO THE ALCOHOL SALES, TO THE EXISTING SEATING THAT'S PRESENT.

ALL OF THAT WILL REMAIN THE SAME.

THIS IS REALLY TO ADD THE FEW OPTIONS IN THE COMMERCIAL VEHICLES.

BUILDING IS NOT EXPANDING.

AND SO THE EV CHARGING STATIONS, THOSE ARE IN LINE WITH OUR NEW [INAUDIBLE] SPECIFIC STANDARDS AS FAR AS LOCATION AND DISTANCE SEPARATION AND RESIDENTIAL OR ADJACENT.

IT MEETS ALL OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS SO.

GREAT. AND THEY'LL NEED TO COME IN.

IF APPROVED. THEY WOULD ALSO NEED TO GET BUILDING PERMITS TO MAKE SURE ALL OF THOSE OTHER STANDARDS ARE REQUIRED.

THAT'S WHERE THIS COMES INTO PLAY.

YES, THERE IS A SHEET HERE THAT [INAUDIBLE] THAT CLARIFIES BECAUSE IN YOUR ORIGINAL AGENDA MEMO, IT SAID THAT THERE'S A EXISTING 69 PARKING SPACES, 65, 65.

[INAUDIBLE] THIS NEXT CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST IS TO [INAUDIBLE] AMEND A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SITE PLAN THAT WAS USED TO ESTABLISH A PLANNED INDUSTRIAL PARK.

THIS REQUEST IS TO ALLOW FOR AN APPLICATION AND INSTALLATION BUSINESS OF PAINT PROTECTION, FILM AND WINDOW FILM, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROPOSED BUSINESS.

THE PROPERTY IS PRESENTLY ZONED LI LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT AND IT'S A MULTI-TENANT OFFICE WAREHOUSE DEVELOPMENT, SO THEY WILL BE LEASING ONE SUITE WITHIN HERE ABOUT 7200FT² OF SPACE.

THE PAINT PROTECTION FILM IS APPLIED TO PAINT SURFACES FOR NEW AUTOMOBILES TO PROTECT THE PAINT, AND THE WINDOW FILM TO REDUCE ULTRAVIOLET RAYS AND HEAT TRANSFER ON THE WINDOWS OF THE VEHICLES.

AS FAR AS PARKING THAT'S REQUIRED FOR THE ENTIRE COMPLEX THAT'S HERE, IT'S 94 SPACES.

THEY HAVE 98 SPACES.

ALL OF THE APPLICATION WILL OCCUR WITHIN THE SUITE, AS SHOWN ON THE FLOOR PLAN.

SO IS THIS THE TYPE OF BUSINESS WHERE A CONSUMER WOULD JUST DRIVE UP AND SAY, I WANT THIS OR NO? HE USES IT. IT'S NOT A CONSUMER.

THESE ARE THIS.

THIS WILL BE IN CONJUNCTION WITH EXISTING DEALERS AND THE, THE THE PROPERTY, THE BUSINESS OWNER WILL WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH THOSE EXISTING DEALERSHIPS.

IT'S LIKE AN OFF SITE LOCATION WHERE THE DEALERSHIP [INAUDIBLE] IT'S ALL DONE INSIDE.

THAT'S CORRECT. NO OUTSIDE WORK? THAT'S CORRECT. AND THE CARS ARE STORED ON SITE INSIDE THE BUILDING FOR CURING PURPOSES.

WELL, THAT'S WHERE THEY DO THE WORK, I THINK, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ASKING.

YEAH, BUT THEN IT TAKES TIME FOR, LIKE, YOU, YOU APPLY IT AND THEN IT HAS TO STAY FOR A PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE YOU SEND IT OUTSIDE.

WELL, THE APPLICANT CAN SPEAK TO THAT.

[00:10:01]

THE THING, THE THE MAIN THING THAT WE WERE FOCUSED ON IS HOW IS THIS HOW IS THE WORK DONE? NO OUTSIDE STORAGE.

SO THE APPLICANT CAN SPEAK TO THE CURING QUESTION.

OKAY. YES, SIR. BUT THE PARKING REQUIREMENT IS JUST FOR THE TYPE OF BUSINESS AND NOT NECESSARILY TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THAT THEY'RE HAVING TO STAY OUTSIDE. THE CAR WILL STAY ON SITE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.

RIGHT. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS WAREHOUSE.

AND IT'S NOT SAYING WHAT THE NUMBER OF CARS ARE.

IT'S THE WAREHOUSE USE PARKING.

AND THEN PART OF THAT IS OFFICE.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

IT'S NOT THE NUMBER OF CARS THAT WILL BE ON SITE AT ANY GIVEN TIME.

OKAY. THANK YOU [INAUDIBLE].

SORRY IF THAT WAS CONFUSING.

ANYTHING ELSE? AND THEN THE FINAL PUBLIC HEARING IS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN THIS ONE BEFORE.

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME, AT LEAST, SEVERAL.

OKAY, SO THERE IS A PARTIALLY COMPLETE TOWNHOUSE DEVELOPMENT AT 4201 STATE HIGHWAY 460.

THIS HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN BEFORE YOU IN 2018 WHEN IT WAS INITIALLY APPROVED.

FOR WHATEVER REASON, THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT TEAM ONLY COMPLETED A PORTION OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

AND THERE'S A NEW OWNER AND DEVELOPER THAT'S FINISHING OUT THE PROJECT.

THEY WERE LAST HERE BEFORE YOU WITH THEIR PLAN DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE THEY ORIGINALLY APPROVED FOR 69 TOWNHOME LOTS AND THEY WERE ASKING IN NOVEMBER OF 2023 TO AMEND THE CENTRAL AMENITY LOT AND TO REPLOT THAT AND ALLOW FOR TWO LOTS THAT WAS DENIED AT THAT MEETING.

SO BECAUSE THE PLAN, THE ORIGINAL PLAN DEVELOPMENT HAS EXPIRED, THAT REQUEST TO INCREASE THE LOT TOTAL BY TWO LOTS WAS DENIED.

THEY'VE COME BACK FOR APPROVAL SO THAT THEY CAN COMPLETE CIVIL CONSTRUCTION OF THE TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT AND MOVE FORWARD TOWARDS BUILDING PERMIT.

[INAUDIBLE] ANYTHING ELSE? DO YOU WANT TO LET YOU KNOW? WE DID RECEIVE TWO RESPONSES TO THE CONDITIONAL USE FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE FILM APPLICATION FACILITY.

ONE WAS REALLY SIMPLY A COMMENT AND NOT IN SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION WITHIN THE 200 FOOT NOTIFICATION.

AND THEN THE OTHER WAS A LETTER IN OPPOSITION.

WE'RE NOT SURE HOW THEY RECEIVED THE NOTICE BECAUSE THEY'RE OUTSIDE OF THE [INAUDIBLE] APPLICATION BOUNDARY, BUT WE DID PROVIDE IT FOR YOU.

AND THEIR OBJECTION REALLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS ZONING ISSUE.

CORRECT. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S A BUSINESS ISSUE.

LAWYERS. GUNS. MONEY.

YES, SIR. ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL ADJOURN THE BRIEFING.

YES. OKAY. WE'LL CALL THE 7:30 MEETING TO ORDER AND ASK YOU TO RISE FOR THE INVOCATION AND PLEDGE.

[JOINT MEETING WITH CITY COUNCIL]

COUNCILMAN LEON LEAL.

PLEASE BOW WITH ME.

DEAR GRACIOUS HEAVENLY FATHER, WE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL DAY THAT WE HAD UPON US TODAY.

WE THANK YOU FOR THIS TIME TOGETHER.

AS WE AS WE MAKE DECISIONS FOR OUR WONDERFUL CITY.

WE PRAY YOUR BLESSINGS OVER ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS, OUR SCHOOLS, OUR CHILDREN.

WE PRAY TO GOD THAT YOU'LL ALWAYS GUIDE US AND THAT WE'LL LOOK FAVOR IN YOUR EYES AND THE THINGS THAT WE DO.

WE LOVE YOU FOR ALL YOUR MANY BLESSINGS.

AMEN. AMEN.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE.

PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

TO WELCOME YOU TO OUR MEETING TONIGHT.

WE HAD AN EXECUTIVE SESSION SCHEDULED FOR 7:15.

WE WAIVED THAT DIDN'T HOLD IT IT.

WE HAVE FIVE JOINT PUBLIC HEARINGS BETWEEN THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION AND THE COUNCIL WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON EACH CASE AS THE STAFF TO ANNOUNCE THE REQUEST THAT'S BEING MADE, WE'LL GIVE THE APPLICANT AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THEIR PRESENTATION.

IF ANYONE IS PRESENT.

THAT'S NOT AN APPLICANT THAT WISHES TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST ANY OF THE APPLICATIONS.

YOU NEED TO REGISTER WITH TARA BROOKS.

IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE THAT, SHE WILL CALL ON YOU IN THE ORDER THAT YOU HAVE REGISTERED.

AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARINGS, THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION WILL RECONVENE IN A SEPARATE MEETING, DISCUSS THE APPLICATIONS AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COUNCIL.

[00:15:02]

THE COUNCIL HAS ITS OWN AGENDA AND WILL REMAIN IN SESSION HERE.

SO WE INVITE YOU TO BE A PART OF YOUR GOVERNMENT TONIGHT.

WE'LL BEGIN BY OPENING THE PUBLIC HEARING ON CU24-02.

[3. Conditional Use Permit CU24-02 (Industrial Office/Warehouse) – City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission to conduct a public hearing relative to an application submitted by Josh Edge with Dynamic Engineering requesting a conditional use permit to allow outdoor vehicle storage in conjunction with a proposed 120,000 square foot office/warehouse building. The subject property is located at 3219 State Highway 360 and is currently zoned “PID”, Planned Industrial Development. ]

AND ERICA MAROHNIC WILL MAKE THE REQUEST.

GOOD EVENING. HONORABLE MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

THIS REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW OUTDOOR VEHICLE STORAGE IN CONJUNCTION WITH A PROPOSED 120,000 SQUARE FOOT OFFICE WAREHOUSE DEVELOPMENT LOCATED ON STATE HIGHWAY 360.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS PRESENTLY ZONED CC.

EXCUSE ME, PID PLANNED INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND IS ALSO UNDEVELOPED.

THE OFFICE WAREHOUSE USE IS PERMITTED BY RIGHT IN THE PID DISTRICT, WHICH FOLLOWS THE USES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS OUTLINED IN THE LI LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT. ON THE SITE PLAN YOU WILL SEE AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE SITE ARE 16 OVERSIZE SPACES INTENDED FOR STORAGE OF COMMERCIAL VEHICLES.

THEY WILL BE VISUALLY SCREENED FROM STATE HIGHWAY 360 BY THE PROPOSED BUILDING AND ADJACENT PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH AND EAST BY A VARIABLE HEIGHT RETAINING WALL, TREES AND SHRUBS.

SURROUNDING USES INCLUDE PAVESTONE TO THE NORTH, WHICH IS AN INDUSTRIAL USE GAS WELL DRILLING AND PRODUCTION, WESTPORT BUSINESS PARK FREIGHT FORWARDING AND GAMESTOP, AND ALSO VACANT LAND TO THE EAST.

AS PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT, TWO NEW ACCESS POINTS WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE FRONTAGE ROAD OF STATE HIGHWAY 360, WHICH HAVE PRELIMINARY APPROVAL FROM TXDOT.

TOTAL NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES FOR THIS ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT IS 99.

PROPOSED NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES IS 134.

OUT OF THESE PROPOSED SPACES, THE 16 STORAGE BAYS WILL BE DIMENSIONED 12FT IN WIDTH BY 55FT IN DEPTH.

THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

MR. JOSH EDGE WITH DYNAMIC ENGINEERING IS HERE THIS EVENING TO PRESENT AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS, MR. CHAIRMAN FROM THE STAFF? ALL RIGHT. QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL STAFF.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

THE APPLICANT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COMMISSIONERS AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS JOSH EDGE, I'M WITH DYNAMIC ENGINEERING.

ADDRESS IS 714 SOUTH GREENVILLE AVENUE IN ALLEN, TEXAS.

MISS MAROHNIC DID A FANTASTIC JOB IN DESCRIBING THE PURPOSE OF OUR PROJECT.

WE DON'T HAVE A FORMAL PRESENTATION PREPARED, BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT COMMISSIONERS OR THE COUNCIL MAY HAVE.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. EDGE? MY QUESTION IS CONCERNING THE RETAINING WALL ON THE PLAN IT SAYS IT'S VARIABLE IN HEIGHT. CAN YOU TELL ME KIND OF THE HEIGHT NEAR WHERE THE STORAGE OF THE VEHICLES IS? YES, MA'AM. SO THE RETAINING WALL THAT THAT YOU'RE SPEAKING OF IS KIND OF ON THE EASTERN PROPERTY LINE FROM OUR BUILDING.

IT RUNS RIGHT AGAINST THE ONCOR SUBSTATION THAT'S THERE.

NOW, ONCOR HAS ALREADY SCREENING WALLS ON THEIR SUBSTATION THAT ARE APPROXIMATELY 6 TO 8FT IN HEIGHT.

THE RETAINING WALL THAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS ACTUALLY ON OUR PROPERTY AND ONCORE SITE ACTUALLY SITS HIGHER THAN WHERE OUR SITE SITS.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE A RETAINING WALL THAT WILL DROP DOWN.

VARIABLE HEIGHT ON EACH END IT'S GOING TO MATCH TO EXISTING GRADES, AND THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH IN THE MIDDLE ALMOST.

IF YOU COULD SEE WHERE THE DRIVE COMES THROUGH ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE BUILDING, THAT'S GOING TO BE THE HIGHEST POINT.

AND WE'RE ESTIMATING IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT 8 TO 10FT TALL AT THAT LOCATION.

OKAY. AND SO WHAT TYPE OF COMMERCIAL VEHICLES WILL YOU BE STORING IN THE 16 OVERSIZE PARKING SPOTS? YES, MA'AM. THESE ARE INTENDED TO BE TRACTOR TRAILERS, 18 WHEELERS THAT ARE WHETHER THEY'RE PARKED FOR JUST THE LOADING AND UNLOADING THAT MAY HAPPEN IN THE, IN THE, IN THE BUILDING.

OR THEY COULD BE PARKED OVERNIGHT.

NOW WILL THEY? WILL THAT PARKING AREA BE SCREENED OTHER THAN THE RETAINING WALLS? AS AS IT FACES OUT TOWARDS THE BUILDING IS THE OTHER SCREENING THAT WOULD BE PROVIDED AS IT RELATES TO THE VISIBILITY ALONG HIGHWAY 360.

ON THE BACKSIDE, THERE IS A GOOD TREE LINE THAT IS SHARED BETWEEN THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY AND THE PAVESTONE PROPERTY TO OUR NORTH.

OKAY. SO SCREENED IMPLIES TRACTOR TRAILERS IMPLIES KIND OF HIGH.

HOW HOW TALL WILL THE SCREENS BE? WELL, IF WE LOOK AT THE AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SCREENING AS FAR AS THE RETAINING WALL.

NO YOU SAID THE VEHICLES WILL BE SCREENED.

OH I'M SORRY.

THE SCREENING ON THE BACKSIDE FOR THE FOR THE THE TREES AGAIN, THE PAVESTONE PROPERTY AS WE LOOK TO OUR NORTH IS GOING TO BE ELEVATED IN COMPARISON

[00:20:09]

TO WHERE OUR SITE WHERE OUR PAVING IS BEING PROPOSED.

SO I WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT OUR GRADING PLAN.

BUT I THINK THE ELEVATION DIFFERENCE FROM THE PAVESTONE PROPERTY TO WHERE THESE THESE TRUCKS ARE PROPOSED IS I'D SAY IT'S PROBABLY ABOUT A 5 TO 8 FOOT ELEVATION DIFFERENCE IN JUST THAT LOCATION.

OKAY, I UNDERSTAND THAT, I GUESS, BUT I'M STILL THINKING WE'RE A LITTLE CONFUSED ABOUT SCREENING.

WHAT SCREENING HAVE YOU PROVIDED OTHER THAN THE RETAINING WALL? DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE.

WE CAN'T HEAR YOU, LARRY. COULD YOU? I'M SORRY, I SAID.

I UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE RETAINING WALL, BUT THOSE NORMALLY AREN'T CONSIDERED SCREENING BECAUSE IT'S, AGAIN AT GROUND LEVEL WHERE IT STOPS SO.

BUT THERE'S NO YOU HAVE NOTHING ABOVE THE RETAINING WALLS ANYWHERE FOR ANY SCREENING.

WELL, THE RETAINING WALLS AND THE ELEVATIONS HERE, I UNDERSTAND THAT.

BUT YOU HAVE NOTHING ABOVE THE RETAINING WALLS FOR SCREENING.

FROM A VISIBILITY STANDPOINT ALONG HIGHWAY 360, AS YOU'RE COMING IN, THE VISIBILITY, THE SCREENING THAT'S BEING PROVIDED IS ALREADY EXISTING BY THE THE THE SCREEN WALLS THAT ARE EXISTING SURROUNDING THE ONCOR SUBSTATION.

THE REMAINDER OF THE SCREENING COMES FROM THE BUILDING ITSELF, FROM, FROM THE FROM THE RIGHT OF WAY.

I UNDERSTAND THAT, YES. OKAY.

BUT YOU DIDN'T REALLY PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL SCREENING ABOVE THE LAY OF THE LAND, PARTICULARLY THE SCREENING ALREADY EXISTED, YOU'RE SAYING? YES, SIR. YEAH. NATURAL, NATURAL CONDITIONS CREATE THE THE SCREENING.

THAT'S THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY THAT WITH THE ADDITION OF OUR BUILDING THAT'S GOING TO BE 40FT IN HEIGHT, WILL BLOCK THE SCREENING FROM THE RIGHT OF WAY. THANK YOU SIR.

NOBODY ELSE. NO OTHER QUESTION.

I'M SORRY.

WHAT ABOUT SECURING YOUR PROPERTY IN THE EVENING THERE YOU WON'T HAVE ANY WAY TO SECURE.

IT'S JUST GOING TO BE PARKED IN A PARKING SPOT.

THAT'S. YES, MA'AM.

AT THIS POINT, WE DON'T HAVE ANY.

WE DON'T HAVE A FENCING PLAN.

THAT'S THAT'S PREPARED TO TO TO SECURE THESE PARKING SPACES.

AND IT MAY BE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A PARTICULAR TENANT FOR THIS SITE YET FOR THIS BUILDING.

THIS IS BEING BUILT SPECULATIVE.

SO IT COULD BE ONE TENANT, IT COULD BE TWO.

AND IN THAT INSTANCE WE'VE SEEN SOME, SOME EXAMPLES OF WHERE THE FENCING WOULD GO AND MAYBE SPLIT SOME OF THE PARKING TO SPLIT UP BETWEEN THE TWO POTENTIAL TENANTS.

SO RIGHT NOW WITH THIS SITE PLAN AND WHAT WE'RE PLANNING, WE DON'T HAVE ANY WE DON'T HAVE A SECURITY FENCE OR GATES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT RIGHT NOW.

OKAY. NO OTHER QUESTIONS NOW.

OKAY. QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL.

SO YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE FENCE BEING SCREENING.

THERE'S OTHER THINGS THAT CAN BE USED FOR SCREENING, SPECIFICALLY LANDSCAPING TALL TREES.

AND IN LOOKING AT YOUR LANDSCAPE PLAN, I DON'T SEE THAT YOU'RE PLANNING A LOT OF THOSE ALONG THAT THE BACK EDGE OF THAT.

I DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE LANDSCAPE PLAN IN THE SLIDES, BUT THIS THIS SITE HAS QUITE A BIT OF TREES THAT ARE THAT ARE PROPOSED AND ACTUALLY EXISTING. THIS.

RIGHT. LANDSCAPE PLAN, LP-0 AT THE NORTH SIDE OF THE SITE SHOWS ALL THE TREES THAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO PLANT ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE, THE TRAILER STORAGE SPACES.

THAT'S IN ADDITION TO THE TREES THAT ARE ALREADY EXISTING.

NOW, THEY'RE NOT SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN BECAUSE THE TREES ARE EXISTING UPON THE PROPERTY LINE THAT FALLS ON THE PAVESTONE PROPERTY.

BUT THERE IS A VERY LARGE SWATH OF TREES EXISTING.

AND THEN WE ARE PROPOSING SOME IN THIS AREA AS WELL.

AND SO THOSE THAT ARE EXISTING ARE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE FENCE.

IS THAT CORRECT? I'M SORRY. COULD THE TREES THAT ARE EXISTING THAT YOU REFERRED TO.

YES. YOU'RE NOT PLANNING THE ONES THAT ARE ALREADY THERE? YES, MA'AM. ARE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE FENCE.

WELL, WE'RE NOT PROPOSING ANY FENCING THEY'RE ON THE THE NORTH SIDE OF OUR PROPERTY.

OKAY. EXCUSE ME. I THOUGHT YOU WERE REFERRING TO A SCREENING FENCE A WHILE AGO, UNLESS I MISUNDERSTOOD.

NO, MA'AM. WE DON'T HAVE ANY SCREENING FENCES.

THE FENCING THAT WE WERE SPEAKING OF BEFORE WAS A SECURITY FENCE.

NOT NOT A SCREENING FENCE.

AND A SECURITY FENCE IS LOCATED WHERE.

I'M SORRY. NO, MA'AM. WE DON'T HAVE ANY SECURITY FENCES.

OKAY. I THOUGHT YOU JUST SAID YOU HAD IT WAS A SECURITY FENCE, NOT A SCREENING FENCE.

THAT'S THE. THAT WAS THE TOPIC THAT WE WERE DISCUSSING PREVIOUSLY, BUT WE WE WE WE DISCUSSED THAT WE DO NOT HAVE A TENANT IN MIND FOR THIS SITE.

[00:25:06]

YES. SO WE DON'T KNOW HOW THEY WOULD LIKE TO SECURE THE PROPERTY.

SO WE HAVE NO SCREENING.

WE HAVE NO SECURITY FENCES ON SITE, NOR DO WE HAVE ANY SCREENING FENCES.

THERE'S NO FENCE OF ANY SORT ON THIS.

NO, MA'AM. PROPERTY. NOT RIGHT NOW.

NO, MA'AM. MAY I ASK ERICA A QUESTION, PLEASE? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YES, MAYOR.

I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE PLAN.

NOT AT THE PLAN, BUT I'M LOOKING AT THE TOPOGRAPHY ON ONE OF MY MAP SITES, AND THERE ARE A LOT OF TREES ALONG.

IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE IT'S THE EAST SIDE, BUT IT MAY BE THE NORTH SIDE BECAUSE THE DIRECTIONS KIND OF FUNNY.

BUT MY QUESTION, ERICA, IS THE TWO, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY IT'S GOT INDUSTRIAL AROUND IT ON TWO SIDES AND I CAN'T TELL IN MY PICTURE.

ARE THEY ALL FENCED? GOT A LOT OF STUFF ON IT.

AND THEN THE BUILDING PAVETONE DOES, DOES HAVE A I GUESS I WOULD CALL IT A SCREENING FENCE.

AND THAT IS IN AND THAT'S IN ORDER TO SCREEN THEIR MATERIAL AND THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO STACK ABOVE THE FENCE.

RIGHT. AND THEN NEXT DOOR WE'VE GOT THE SUBSTATION AND THEY HAVE A I GUESS I WOULD CALL IT A MASONRY TYPE OF FENCE.

AND IT CAN ONLY, YOU KNOW, SCREEN SO MUCH.

RIGHT. OKAY.

NO, I UNDERSTAND, I JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM BECAUSE AS I LOOK AT THIS MAP AND SHARON'S RIGHT, THERE'S A LOT OF TREES ON IT AT THE SAME TIME.

IT'S INDUSTRIAL ALL AROUND IT.

AND ALONG WITH ONCOR AS WELL.

SO. YES MA'AM. I JUST WANTED TO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT.

IT'S, IT'S A REASONABLE QUESTION ABOUT HAVING SOME TYPE OF FENCING.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR STATEMENT ABOUT NOT MAKING A DECISION ON A SECURITY FENCE, BUT THERE MAY BE A DESIRE TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A FENCE, AT LEAST ON THOSE TWO SIDES, UNTIL YOU GET A DEVELOPMENT IN THERE.

SO YOU MIGHT THINK ABOUT THAT.

ARE YOU YOU SORT OF IMPLIED THAT YOU WOULD YOU'RE GOING TO LEAVE THAT UP TO A FUTURE TENANT.

YES, MA'AM. THAT. YES, MA'AM.

THAT'S CORRECT. THAT'S ALL I HAVE, MAYOR.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU SIR. DO WE HAVE ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK? NO, SIR. ANY CORRESPONDENTS? NO, SIR. MR. CHAIRMAN, I NEED A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

MOVE TO CLOSE. SECOND IN FAVOR? NONE OPPOSED.

THE COMMISSION CLOSED A MOTION FROM THE COUNCIL.

MOVE TO CLOSE. ALL IN FAVOR? ALL OPPOSED. PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED.

[4. Conditional Use Permit CU24-06 (Meow Wolf) – City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission to conduct a public hearing relative to an application submitted by Kelly Schwartz requesting a conditional use permit to amend the previously approved site plan CU20-17 (Ordinance No. 2000-044) for a planned commercial center in excess of 1,000,000 square feet of gross leasable space. This request is specifically to allow the possession, storage, retail sale of on- and off-premise consumption of alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, and mixed beverages) in conjunction with an existing café inside of Meow Wolf. The subject property is located at 3000 Grapevine Mills Parkway, Suite 253 and is currently zoned “CC”, Community Commercial District. ]

PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN ON CONDITIONAL USE.

CU 24-06.

ERICA MAROHNIC. THIS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST IS TO AMEND THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SITE PLAN FOR A PLANNED COMMERCIAL CENTER IN EXCESS OF 1,000,000FT² OF GROSS LEASABLE AREA.

THIS IS A REQUEST SPECIFICALLY TO ALLOW THE POSSESSION, STORAGE, RETAIL SALE AND ON AND OFF PREMISE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN EXISTING CAFÉ WITHIN THE MEOW WOLF ENTERTAINMENT AND ARTS BUSINESS.

MEOW WOLF IS AN INTERACTIVE MUSEUM ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT ATTRACTION.

IT'S APPROXIMATELY 44,000FT², WHICH OPENED ON THE SUBJECT SITE WITHIN THE GRAPEVINE MILLS MALL IN JULY OF 2023.

THE SUBJECT SITE IS ZONED CC COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL.

THIS EXISTING CAFÉ FEATURES 32 SEATS AND OFFERS GRAB AND GO PREPARED FOOD ITEMS, WHICH ARE PREPARED IN AREA RESTAURANTS AND BAKERIES AND PROVIDED FOR SALE ON SITE. MAIN ACCESS TO THIS BUSINESS IS THROUGH THE MALL, WITH A SECONDARY ACCESS FROM A PARKING LOT.

NO OTHER CHANGES BESIDES THOSE SHOWN ON THE FLOOR PLAN IN THE AREAS LOCATED FOR ALCOHOL STORAGE AND ALCOHOL POINT OF SALE ARE PROPOSED WITH THIS REQUEST, EITHER TO THE ENTIRETY OF THE SITE PLAN FOR GRAPEVINE MILLS MALL OR THE EXTERIOR ELEVATIONS OF THE BUILDING.

THIS CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION.

THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE, MISS KELLY SCHWARTZ WITH MEOW WOLF, IS HERE THIS EVENING TO PRESENT AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

ERICA, MAY I ASK YOU, PLEASE, WHAT IS THE PREMISES FOR THIS CASE? WHAT'S DEFINED AS THE PREMISES? IT IS THE SUITE, THE 44,000 SQUARE FOOT SUITE WITHIN THE MALL.

OKAY. AND SO OFF PREMISE WOULD BE ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THAT AREA, CORRECT? CORRECT. INCLUDING OUTSIDE IN THE PARKING LOT.

IF THE BUSINESS OPERATION, IT WOULD BE UP TO THEM TO CONTROL IF THEY WERE GOING TO PROVIDE ANY TO GO ALCOHOL, BEVERAGES.

I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THAT IS THEIR INTENT THOUGH.

OKAY. IT SAYS OFF PREMISES.

THAT'S WHY I WAS WONDERING WHAT THAT WOULD ENTAIL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[00:30:09]

MY NAME IS KELLY SCHWARTZ.

I AM THE GENERAL MANAGER OF MEOW WOLF DALLAS LLC, MORE LOVINGLY REFERRED TO AS MEOW WOLF GRAPEVINE.

I'M HERE TONIGHT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT OUR DESIRE TO MEET OUR GUEST NEEDS TO SELL ALCOHOL INSIDE MEOW WOLF GRAPEVINE.

WE DO NOT HAVE ANY INTENTION OF SELLING ALCOHOL TO GO OR ANYWHERE OUTSIDE OF THE ACTUAL SPACE OF THE EXHIBIT.

I THINK MOST PEOPLE ARE PROBABLY FAIRLY FAMILIAR WITH MEOW WOLF.

WE OPENED JULY OF LAST YEAR, BUT WANTED TO SHARE JUST A COUPLE OF FUN FACTS HERE WITH YOU ALL.

SINCE OPENING, WE HAVE SEEN NEARLY 400,000 VISITORS COME THROUGH OUR DOORS, INCLUDING AN INCREDIBLE SPRING BREAK LAST WEEK.

SO THAT WAS REALLY GREAT.

WE HAVE MORE THAN 100 YEAR ROUND EMPLOYEES, AND WE ALSO HAVE ADDITIONAL SEASONAL STAFF THAT WE BRING ON DURING THE SUMMER.

WE'VE DONATED MORE THAN 8000 TICKETS INTO THE DFW COMMUNITY, AND MORE THAN 1500 OF THOSE HAVE BEEN RIGHT HERE IN GRAPEVINE.

IN PARTICULAR, PARTNERING WITH GCISD TO ENSURE THAT MANY OF OUR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS CAN VISIT THE FACILITY.

FROM THE POSITION OF DRIVING IN TOURISM.

LIKE WHO IS VISITING MEOW WOLF? WE CURRENTLY HAVE, 81% OF OUR GUESTS ARE COMING FROM WITHIN THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND 19% ARE COMING FROM OUT OF STATE.

AND WHEN WE BREAK THAT DOWN AND LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOCALS AND TOURISM, YOU'LL SEE IT'S 59% LOCAL.

THAT IS PART PARTLY HYPER LOCAL, WHICH IS KIND OF WITHIN TEN MILES OF OUR FOOTPRINT.

AND THE REST WOULD EXTEND OUT BEYOND INTO THE METROPLEX OF DFW.

AND THEN FROM A TOURIST STANDPOINT, WE ARE SEEING 41% TOURISTS.

AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE WE ARE A DESTINATION IN AND OF ITSELF.

SO MORE THAN 80% OF OUR GUESTS ARE ACTUALLY VISITING FROM OUTSIDE OF THAT 15 MILE RADIUS.

SO WE TRULY ARE DRAWING PEOPLE INTO GRAPEVINE AND HELPING WITH THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE CITY.

SO FAR SINCE OPENING, WE HAVE HAD 20 EVENTS WHERE ALCOHOL HAS BEEN AVAILABLE.

10 OF THOSE WERE PRIVATE EVENTS WHERE THERE WAS AN OPEN BAR PROVIDED BY THE COMPANY, 10 WERE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS ADULT NIGHTS 21 AND ABOVE.

AND THOSE WERE ALCOHOL SALES THAT WERE PROVIDED UNDER PERMIT BY A THIRD PARTY.

I'M PLEASED TO SAY ALL 20 OF THOSE EVENTS WENT OFF WITHOUT A HITCH.

FROM AN OPERATIONAL PERSPECTIVE, AS NOTED, THERE ARE TWO PLACES THAT WE WOULD PREFER TO SELL ALCOHOL INSIDE THE EXHIBIT.

THE PRIMARY LOCATION WILL BE INSIDE OUR EXISTING CAFÉ, WHICH DOES HAVE THOSE 32 SEATS THAT WERE MENTIONED.

THERE WILL BE A SECONDARY SPACE, A BAR SPACE THAT IS CURRENTLY AN UNFINISHED SHELL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EXHIBITION THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO FINISH OUT AND BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT BAR SPACE FOR PRIVATE EVENTS AND AT OTHER PEAK OCCUPANCY TIMES.

BUT THE PRIMARY PLACE WILL DEFINITELY BE IN THE EXISTING CAFÉ.

WE'RE REALLY EXCITED AT THE OPPORTUNITY TO POTENTIALLY BE REINVESTING IN MEOW WOLF SO QUICKLY AFTER OPENING.

IT'S ONLY BEEN NINE MONTHS, AND THIS WOULD PROVIDE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO FURTHER INVEST VERY QUICKLY.

WE DO HAVE IN-HOUSE SECURITY, THEY ARE AVAILABLE ALL OPERATIONAL HOURS AND THEY STAFF BOTH THE ENTRANCE, BOTH OF THE ENTRANCES AT ALL TIMES.

SO WE DO HAVE IN-HOUSE SECURITY.

BOTH SECURITY AND OUR ENTIRE MOD TEAM ARE TRAINED IN FIRST AID, CPR AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

AND THEN ALL OF OUR STAFF, OF COURSE, WILL BE TABC CERTIFIED.

SO THAT'S KIND OF A BRIEF LOOK AT KIND OF THE OPERATIONS AND HOW IT WOULD WORK.

THE TWO LOCATIONS HERE, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE VISITED MEOW WOLF, THIS IS THE LAMP SHOP ALLEY.

THIS WOULD BE THAT SECONDARY LOCATION THAT WE WOULD USE PREDOMINANTLY FOR PRIVATE EVENTS.

AND OPERATIONALLY, IF THERE WAS DEMAND ON PEAK NIGHTS, THE PRIMARY SPACE WOULD BE HERE IN OUR CAFÉ.

THIS IS WHERE THE 32 SEATS ARE LOCATED.

THAT'S A SNAPSHOT JUST QUICKLY OF THEM.

WE DO ANTICIPATE IT MOSTLY BEING CANNED BEVERAGES.

SO CANNED BEER, CANNED WINE, CANNED SELTZERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT SO THAT WE ARE ABLE TO QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY SERVICE THE PUBLIC WHO IS BUYING HERE.

AND THEN I BELIEVE YOU GUYS HAVE ALL SEEN THIS.

BUT JUST A QUICK ANOTHER LOOK AT THOSE TWO LOCATIONS.

SO THE CAFÉ IS THE SPACE THAT IS IN THE LOWER PORTION OF THE PICTURE THERE.

AND THEN RIGHT THERE KIND OF IN THE CENTER IS WHERE THAT ADDITIONAL BAR WOULD BE OPEN FOR PRIVATE EVENTS.

AND WITH THAT I WOULD WELCOME YOUR QUESTIONS.

QUESTIONS. WILL GUEST AT MEOW WOLF BE ABLE TO TAKE THEIR CAN THROUGHOUT THE EXHIBIT.

OR DO THEY NEED TO JUST STAY IN IN THE CAFÉ AREA? OUR INTENTION IS THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO BRING THEIR BEVERAGE INSIDE THE EXHIBIT.

YES. AND IS IS THERE ANTICIPATED OR IS THERE RIGHT NOW LIKE A LARGE SPACE WHERE YOU WOULD HAVE CONCERTS OR ANYTHING? WE DO HAVE A PRIVATE EVENT SPACE, WHICH IS REALLY IT'S CLOSE.

WE CALL IT THE NEON KINGDOM.

I DON'T HAVE A PICTURE OF IT TODAY.

IT'S VERY CLOSE TO THAT SECONDARY, THAT BAR SPACE THAT I SHOWED YOU RIGHT OFF THE LAMP SHOP ALLEY.

IT IS NOT OUR INTENTION AT THIS STAGE TO HAVE ANY SORT OF CONCERTS.

IT WOULD PREDOMINANTLY BE USED FOR PRIVATE EVENTS.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

NO OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL.

SORRY, MAYOR, I HAVE A QUESTION.

AND IT MAY BE ONE MORE FOR MATTHEW, CITY ATTORNEY.

[00:35:02]

I REALIZE THAT WE NOW HAVE TO, AND I THINK IT'S BEEN SINCE COVID THAT IT SAYS OFF PREMISE AND ON PREMISE.

CAN WE TIE TO THE CASE THAT IT'S ONLY ON PREMISE? ARE WE ABLE TO DO THAT LEGALLY? SO THE TABC REGULATES THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.

YOU WERE JUST CONSIDERING A ZONING CASE RELATIVE TO THE PERMISSION TO SELL OR NOT SELL ALCOHOL.

RIGHT? SO WE CAN'T SINCE THE ZONING CASE SAYS OFF PREMISE AND ON PREMISE, WE CAN'T SAY THAT THEY CAN'T DO THE OFF PREMISE.

WE CAN'T PUT THAT IN A ZONING CASE.

THAT WOULD EFFECTIVELY CONSTITUTE THE REGULATION OF THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, WHICH YOU DO NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO.

OKAY, OKAY. THANK YOU.

I KNOW THAT'S NOT THEIR INTENTION.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE ZONING STAYS WITH CORRECT LOCATION.

THANK YOU. I HAVE A QUESTION.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YEAH, I DO, I HAVE A QUESTION, MAYOR.

SO I'M JUST CURIOUS.

400,000 VISITORS YOU'RE BEYOND EXPECTATION.

I MEAN, EVERYBODY'S HAPPY. YOU GUYS ARE DOING AN INCREDIBLE JOB.

WHY THE NEED OF ALCOHOL IF YOU'RE DOING SO WELL? IT IS ONE OF OUR MOST REQUESTED THINGS.

SO WE GET SO MANY GUESTS THAT DO COME AND THEY ASK, HEY, CAN I HAVE A BEER? CAN, YOU KNOW, CAN I HAVE A GLASS OF WINE? SO IT'S IT'S THE RESPONSE TO OUR GUESTS REQUESTS.

SO WE'D LIKE TO BE BETTER, BE ABLE TO SERVICE THEIR NEEDS.

WE HAVE STARTED DOING ADULT NIGHTS.

WE HOST THOSE TWICE A MONTH.

WE CAN ONLY PULL A PERMIT A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIMES TO BE ABLE TO HOST THOSE EVENTS.

SO BEING ABLE TO HAVE OUR OWN PERMIT TO BE ABLE TO SELL ALCOHOL WOULD BEST SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE GUESTS.

THERE IS ALSO THE ECONOMIC IMPACT, THE ADDITIONAL REVENUE THAT WOULD COME THROUGH ALCOHOL SALES AND ADDITIONAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES.

WHILE WE DON'T ANTICIPATE OPENING UP, YOU KNOW, SIGNIFICANTLY MORE, WE WOULD HAVE MORE HOURS AND MORE ABILITY TO STAFF OUR TEAM.

SO DO YOU DO YOU THINK THE ALCOHOL IS GOING TO BRING THAT MANY MORE PEOPLE TO YOUR FACILITY? I'M SORRY, I COULDN'T HEAR.

DO YOU THINK THAT BY SERVING ALCOHOL IT'S GOING TO DRAW THAT MANY MORE PEOPLE, OR DO YOU THINK THEY WILL STILL COME REGARDLESS? I DON'T THINK SERVING ALCOHOL IS NECESSARILY GOING TO DRIVE MORE VOLUME.

I THINK THE STRENGTH OF OUR EXHIBIT DOES THAT.

IT WOULD DEFINITELY BE FROM A REVENUE PERSPECTIVE, JUST THE ADDITIONAL SALES OF THE ALCOHOL THAT WOULD BOOST THE REVENUE, NOT ADDITIONAL PEOPLE NECESSARILY.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

AND HOW DO YOU ANTICIPATE REGULATING IT SUCH THAT IT'S JUST CONSUMED ON PREMISE AND NOT CLOSING OFF PREMISE? SO BOTH OF OUR ENTRANCES AND EXITS ARE STAFFED WITH SECURITY, AND YOU HAVE TO PASS THROUGH BOTH OF THOSE IN ORDER TO GET IN OR OUT.

SO SECURITY WOULD BLOCK THOSE.

WE ALSO HAVE SECURITY ON STAFF INSIDE THE EXHIBIT AS WELL AT ALL TIMES.

SO BOTH ENTRANCES AND IN EXHIBIT ARE ALL STAFFED BY OUR IN-HOUSE SECURITY TEAM.

OH, GOOD. THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU.

ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK? YES, SIR. I HAVE ONE REQUEST.

TIM YOUNG 121 WILDWOOD COURT NUMBER 200 IN GRAPEVINE.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

I APOLOGIZE FOR MY ATTIRE.

I DIDN'T THINK I WAS GOING TO SPEAK TONIGHT, SO PLEASE FORGIVE.

NEXT TIME I SHOW UP, I'LL DRESS BETTER.

AND AGAIN, I'M PUTTING MY BALD SPOT ON THE CAMERA BACK HERE.

SO I MEAN THIS.

I HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH MEOW WOLF AS AN ORGANIZATION HERE IN TOWN.

I THINK THEY DO GREAT FOR TOURISM.

YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S GREAT THAT WE WANT TO ADD ALCOHOL TO IT AND ENTERTAIN THE GUESTS MORE.

MY ISSUE COMES WITH THE ORGANIZATION.

ON FEBRUARY 14TH, THEIR LOCATION IN SANTA FE CANCELED A JEWISH PERFORMERS PERFORMANCE.

THEY HAD A SOLD OUT PERFORMANCE THERE AND THEIR WORKERS, WHO ARE PRO-PALESTINE PRO-HAMAS, DECIDED NOT TO SHOW UP TO WORK.

THEY SUPPORTED THAT AND THEY CANCELED THE CONCERT, CITING SAFETY ISSUES WHEN THEY ONLY HAD ABOUT 12 PROTESTERS.

AND I JUST CAUTIONED THE CITY COUNCIL, WHEN WE GO INTO BUSINESS WITH LARGE ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THAT, THAT WE TAKE A LOOK INTO, AND UNFORTUNATELY NOW WE HAVE TO BE THIS WAY, LOOK INTO POLITICAL STANCES, LOOK INTO PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO SUPPORT ENEMIES OF AMERICA'S ALLIES.

AND IT'S JUST IT'S SAD THAT THAT HAPPENED, AND I DON'T WANT THAT TO COME TO OUR TOWN.

SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? NO, YOUR HONOR. ANY CORRESPONDENCE? NO, SIR. MR. CHAIRMAN, I NEED A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

MOVE TO CLOSE SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. THE COMMISSION CLOSED A MOTION FROM THE COUNCIL.

MOVE TO CLOSE. SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? ALL OPPOSED.

MOTION CARRIES THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED.

PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN ON CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CU 24-07.

[5. Conditional Use Permit CU24-07 (RaceTrac) – City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission to conduct a public hearing relative to an application submitted by David Bond with Spiars Engineering & Surveying requesting a conditional use permit to amend the previously approved site plan CU18-13 (Ordinance No. 2018- 043) for a planned commercial center to allow for the possession, storage, retail sale, and off-premise consumption of alcoholic beverages (beer and wine only), outside dining, gasoline service and a monument sign. This request is specifically to revise the site layout to add fueling pumps, fueling canopies, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, and associated maneuvering area in conjunction with a convenience store. The subject property is located at 3955 Grapevine Mills Parkway and is currently zoned “CC”, Community Commercial District. ]

ERIC MAROHNIC. THIS REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT IS TO AMEND A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SITE PLAN ASSOCIATED WITH THE PLANNED COMMERCIAL CENTER FOR THE POSSESSION, STORAGE, RETAIL SALE, ON OFF PREMISE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, OUTSIDE DINING, GASOLINE SERVICE, AND MONUMENT SIGN.

THIS REQUEST IS TO REVISE THE SITE LAYOUT BY ADDING FUELING PUMPS, FUELING CANOPIES OVER THE PUMPS, EV CHARGING STATIONS, AND ASSOCIATED MANEUVERING LANES IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE EXISTING CONVENIENCE STORE.

[00:40:02]

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED CC COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT AND DEVELOPED WITH A CONVENIENCE STORE WITH FUEL PUMPS.

AS PART OF THIS SITE LAYOUT CHANGE, THEY ARE ADDING FOUR FUELING POSITIONS WHICH WOULD ACCOMMODATE EIGHT DIESEL FUELING PUMPS.

FOUR EV CHARGING STATIONS TO THE CENTER OF SITE, WHICH IS OUTLINED IN GREEN ON YOUR SCREEN, TWO CANOPIES OVER FUELING OR CHARGING AREAS.

THEY ARE ALSO PROPOSING TO RELOCATE THE REFUSE CONTAINER ENCLOSURE.

TRACTOR TRAILER MANEUVERING LANES ARE PROPOSED ALONG THE OUTSIDE OF THE EXISTING CONVENIENCE STORE TO ALLOW FOR BETTER CIRCULATION OF THESE LARGER COMMERCIAL VEHICLES THAT ARE THERE FOR FUELING AND ON SITE DIRECTIONAL AND PARKING.

SIGNAGE IS ALSO PROPOSED AS PART OF THIS REVISION.

TOTAL REQUIRED PARKING FOR THIS SITE IS 36 SPACES.

65 PARKING SPACES ARE PROVIDED.

A REVISION IS ALSO PROVIDED FOR YOU AT YOUR PLACE AT THE DAIS SHOWING THAT CORRECTION TO THE AGENDA MEMO.

NO OTHER CHANGES ARE PROPOSED TO THE EXISTING BUILDING THAT IS 5400FT² OR OUTDOOR SEATING, WHICH WILL REMAIN AT 18 SEATS.

THE APPLICANT, MR. JOHN PAUL HOOVER, IS HERE TO PRESENT AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS COMMISSIONERS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF OUR APPLICATION.

I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK THE CITY PLANNING STAFF, WHO HAVE GIVEN US A LOT OF ASSISTANCE AND HELP TO GET TO THIS POINT.

MY NAME IS JOHN PAUL HOOVER.

I'M AN ENGINEERING PROJECT MANAGER FOR RACETRAC.

WE ARE PROPOSING AN EXTENDED DIESEL OFFERING TO BE ADDED TO OUR EXISTING SITE AT 3955 GRAPEVINE MILLS PARKWAY.

OUR AIM WITH THIS IMPROVEMENT IS TO BETTER SERVE LARGER TRUCKS.

ANYTHING FROM YOUR AVERAGE U-HAUL BOX TRUCK UP TO A BIG TRACTOR TRAILER ENABLE THEM TO FUEL MORE EASILY AT OUR SITE.

TO ACHIEVE THIS, WE WILL PROPOSE THE FOLLOWING.

THERE WILL BE A SEPARATE EDO EXTENDED DIESEL OFFERING CANOPY WITH FOUR AVAILABLE DIESEL FUELING POSITIONS FOR TRUCKS AND DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THAT, FOUR PARKING SPOTS AVAILABLE FOR THOSE TRUCKS.

NOW, IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE INTENTION OF THOSE PARKING SPOTS IS NOT TO ALLOW OVERNIGHT PARKING ANY LONG PERIOD OF STAY.

IT'S SIMPLY TO ALLOW A TRUCK DRIVER TO PULL IN, GET SOME FUEL, CIRCLE AROUND, PARK, GO INTO THE STORE, MAYBE GRAB A DRINK OR A SNACK AND COME BACK OUT AND BE ON THEIR WAY. LIKE I SAID, IT DOES NOT CATER WELL TO, NOR IS IT INTENDED TO INTENDED TO ALLOW FOR OVERNIGHT PARKING.

IN ADDITION TO THAT PARKING, WE'RE PROPOSING ADDITIONAL PAVEMENT AROUND THE EDO CANOPY, AS WELL AS A DRIVEWAY GOING AROUND THE BACKSIDE OF THE STORE. THIS WILL BOTH ALLOW TRUCKS TO MANEUVER THE SITE EFFECTIVELY WITH THE NEW LAYOUT, AND IT WILL ENSURE THAT TRUCK AND AUTO TRAFFIC CAN REMAIN SEPARATED FOR SAFETY AND CONVENIENCE REASONS.

NOW WE ARE NOT ONLY JUST FOCUS ON TRUCKS HERE, WE WANT TO MAKE THIS REINVESTMENT AT THIS LOCATION TO BETTER SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE WHOLE COMMUNITY.

SO WE ARE ALSO PROPOSING AN EV CHARGING CANOPY.

IT WILL BE ITS OWN SEPARATE CANOPY, AND IT WILL HAVE FOUR EV CHARGING SPOTS AVAILABLE TO REGULAR CARS. ALL RIGHT.

HERE YOU CAN SEE AN AERIAL SNAPSHOT OF OUR EXISTING SITE, HOW IT LOOKS NOW AND HOW IT WOULD LOOK WITH OUR PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS. AND I WANT TO STICK ON THIS SLIDE FOR A SECOND.

YOU CAN SEE HOW THE ACCESSES INTERACT WITH 2499.

WE ARE AWARE THAT IT IS A VERY HEAVILY UTILIZED ROADWAY.

AND SO WE HAD A TRAFFIC STUDY COMPLETED BY LEE ENGINEERING.

IT WAS REVIEWED BY BOTH TEXAS DOT AND THE CITY OF GRAPEVINE.

AND AS A PART OF THAT ANALYSIS, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT VEHICLES ENTERING THE SITE UNDER THE PROPOSED CONDITIONS HAD A 76% PASS BY RATE, SO ONLY A FRACTION OF THOSE VEHICLES ENTERING UNDER THE PROPOSED CONDITIONS WOULD NOT HAVE ALREADY BEEN TRAVELING ON 2499, SO WE ARE NOT CREATING SUBSTANTIALLY MORE TRAFFIC ON THIS ALREADY HEAVILY, HEAVILY UTILIZED ROADWAY.

HERE YOU CAN SEE SOME COLORED ELEVATIONS OF WHAT THE NEW CANOPIES WOULD LOOK LIKE.

AND I SHOULD ALSO MENTION, SORRY, GOING BACK TO THE TRAFFIC TO ENABLE A SMOOTH INGRESS AND

[00:45:09]

EGRESS MOTION OFF OF 2499 FOR TRUCKS AND AUTOS.

WE WILL HAVE DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE IN AND AROUND THE SITE.

A LITTLE WAYFINDING SIGNS, PARTICULARLY FOCUSED ON SOUTHBOUND TRUCKS TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE USING THE SOUTH, THE SOUTHERNMOST ACCESS, TO PREVENT THEM FROM GOING INTO THE NORTHERNMOST AS BEST AS WE CAN.

AND ON THESE CANOPIES, AND THE COLORING IS A LITTLE OFF BASED ON HOW I PUT THE PRESENTATION TOGETHER.

BUT IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE STORE, THE THE WRAP ON THE TOP OF THE CANOPY, AS WELL AS THE STONE CLADDING GOING ON THE COLUMNS WILL BE IDENTICAL TO WHAT'S OUT THERE ON THE EXISTING CANOPY TODAY.

AND JUST IN CLOSING RACETRAC, WE'VE BEEN A FAMILY OWNED COMPANY SINCE 1934.

WE'VE BEEN OPERATING IN TEXAS FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS.

WE KNOW THE VALUE OF A GOOD COMMUNITY, WHICH IS WHAT EXACTLY WHAT THE CITY OF GRAPEVINE HAS BEEN TO US.

WE'VE REALLY APPRECIATED HAVING THE STORE HERE.

IT'S ONE OF OUR TOP PERFORMING STORES IN THE DFW AREA, WHICH IS WHY WE WANT TO MAKE THIS REINVESTMENT INTO THE COMMUNITY, BECAUSE WE'RE AWARE THAT IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE AS BEST WE CAN TO MEET THE NEEDS OF EVERYBODY IN THE CITY OF GRAPEVINE AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS.

SO AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, AND I'M OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS.

QUESTIONS FOR MR. HOOVER.

QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT.

QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL.

I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE EV STATION.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES AVAILABLE OUT THERE IN TERMS OF THE SPEED OF CHARGING.

AND EVEN THE DIFFERENT SOCKETS THAT ARE AVAILABLE.

HOW DO YOU CONTEND WITH ALL THOSE DIFFERENT VARIATIONS AND WHAT TYPE OF TECHNOLOGIES ARE YOU PLANNING FOR THAT PARTICULAR CANOPY AREA? SURE. SO PERSONALLY, I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE ON THE SPECIFICS OF THE CHARGERS.

I DO KNOW THAT WE HAVE AN ENTIRE TEAM IN OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT DEDICATED TO FINDING THE BEST CHARGER FOR EACH LOCATION, AND MY COLLEAGUE SCOTT HERE CAN DO THE REST.

SO SCOTT GRIFFIN, I'M THE SENIOR ENGINEERING PROJECT MANAGER, AND THESE TWO CHARGERS ARE GOING TO BE DC FAST CHARGERS.

SO THEY'RE GOING TO PULL ROUGHLY ABOUT 120KW IN TOTAL PER CHARGER.

HOPEFULLY CHARGE THE ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN ABOUT 15 TO 20 MINUTES.

HOPEFULLY WITH TECHNOLOGY GETTING BETTER, IT'LL GET FASTER AND FASTER OVER TIME.

BOTH CHARGERS WILL HAVE MULTIPLE DIFFERENT CONNECTIONS SO THAT MULTIPLE VEHICLES CAN, CAN CHARGE.

FAIR ENOUGH. AND WE ALSO HAVE FIVE SITES AROUND DALLAS RIGHT NOW THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION WITH SIMILAR CHARGERS THAT WILL BE OPEN LATE APRIL.

OKAY. SOUNDS GOOD.

THANK YOU. SIR WHILE YOU'RE UP THERE, PLEASE.

YOU SAID PERHAPS MULTIPLE VEHICLES CAN CHARGE AT EACH CHARGER.

AND THERE ARE FOUR CHARGERS.

THERE ARE TWO CHARGERS WITH FOUR CHARGING SPOTS.

SO EACH EACH CHARGER WILL HAVE TWO HANDLES OKAY.

SO THAT'S WHERE THE FOUR SPOTS COME IN.

AND YOU CAN HAVE FOUR CARS CHARGING AT THE SAME TIME.

ON EACH OF THE TWO YOU CAN HAVE TWO CARS ON EACH CHARGER.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THIS IS A PRETTY EXTENSIVE RENOVATION.

JUST CURIOUS, HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT'S GOING TO TAKE YOU TO DO THIS? THERE'LL BE A LOT OF, I WOULD THINK, KIND OF TRAFFIC PROBLEMS WHILE YOU'RE TRYING TO GET ALL THAT BUILT CONSTRUCTION WISE, I MEAN, IN GENERAL, THE DIESEL CANOPY AND THE EV CHARGING SPACES ARE KIND OF OFF SITE FROM OUR CURRENT CANOPY.

SO WE'RE NOT ANTICIPATING TOO MUCH ISSUES GETTING CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES IN AND OUT.

I KNOW IN TALKING WITH CONSTRUCTION IF WE CAN GET THIS MOVING HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS IN TERMS OF PERMITTING, THEY'RE AIMING TO BE DONE BY THE END OF THE YEAR.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. SCOTT. ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK? NO, SIR. ANY CORRESPONDENCE? NO, YOUR HONOR. MR. CHAIRMAN, I NEED A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

MOVE TO CLOSE SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? [INAUDIBLE] ALL IN FAVOR? ALL OPPOSED. PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED.

PUBLIC HEARING NOW OPEN ON CONDITIONAL USE.

[6. Conditional Use Permit CU24-10 (Automotive Film Application Facility) – City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission to conduct a public hearing relative to an application submitted by Karl Crawley with Masterplan requesting a conditional use permit to amend the previously approved site plan CU09-47 (Ordinance No. 2010-003) to establish a planned industrial park. This request is specifically to allow for the application/installation of paint protection film and window film (window tinting) in conjunction with a proposed business. The subject property is located at 1702 Minters Chapel Road, Suite 112 and is currently zoned “LI”, Light Industrial District.]

24-10 ERICA MAROHNIC.

THIS CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST IS TO AMEND A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SITE PLAN TO ESTABLISH A PLANNED INDUSTRIAL PARK LOCATED AT 1702 MENTORS CHAPEL ROAD.

THIS REQUEST IS SPECIFICALLY TO ALLOW FOR APPLICATION AND INSTALLATION OF PAINT PROTECTION, FILM AND WINDOW FILM, OR WINDOW TINTING IN CONJUNCTION WITH A PROPOSED

[00:50:06]

BUSINESS. THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED LI LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT AND DEVELOPED WITH ONE OFFICE WAREHOUSE STRUCTURE.

IT'S A MULTI TENANT STRUCTURE.

THE APPLICANT INTENDS TO UTILIZE A 7200 SQUARE FOOT LEASED SPACE ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, AND THEY WILL APPLY THE PAINT PROTECTION FILM AND WINDOW FILM. PAINT PROTECTION FILM IS APPLIED TO PAINT SURFACES OF NEW AUTOMOBILES TO PROTECT THE PAINT.

THE WINDOW FILM OR TINTING IS APPLIED TO THE AUTOMOBILES GLASS TO REDUCE THE ULTRAVIOLET RAYS AND HEAT TRANSFER REQUIRED PARKING FOR THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT, SO ALL SUITES WAS BASED ON OFFICE WAREHOUSE USE WHEN IT WAS INITIALLY DEVELOPED.

AND THAT'S 94 PARKING SPACE, AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE ITS EXISTING 98 PARKING SPACES.

THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION.

MR. WING KWANG IS HERE THIS EVENING TO PRESENT AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THE COMMISSION AND COUNCIL MAY HAVE.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

SO. GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSIONS.

SO, FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS WAYNE KWAN.

I'M WITH EASTMAN PERFORMANCE FILMS. I'M BASED OUT OF SAINT LOUIS, MISSOURI.

FOR THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT THAT WE'RE REQUESTING, I'D LIKE TO GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF OUR COMPANY, EASTMAN.

AND THEN I'D LIKE TO GET INTO WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE DOING AT THE SITE.

SO WHO IS EASTMAN? EASTMAN? EASTMAN CHEMICAL COMPANY IS A FORTUNE 500 COMPANY WITH OVER $9 BILLION IN REVENUE.

WE ARE A GLOBAL SPECIALTY COMPANY.

WE PRODUCE BROAD RANGE OF PRODUCTS, FOUND ITEMS IN IN USE EVERY DAY.

IF YOU ALL DROVE HERE TODAY, THERE'S A 40% CHANCE THAT YOU ACTUALLY WERE LOOKING AT OR THROUGH OUR PRODUCTS.

WE MAKE THE PVB INTERLAYER BETWEEN THE WINDSCREENS OF MOST VEHICLES.

SO A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW EASTMAN, BUT IF YOU GO TO EASTMAN KODAK, EVERYONE INSTANTLY KNOWS.

SO THAT'S WHERE WE ACTUALLY CAME FROM.

EASTMAN KODAK WAS FOUNDED IN 1920, 1993.

THEY SPUN OFF THE EASTMAN CHEMICAL DIVISION.

WE EASTMAN PERFORMANCE FILMS IS PART OF THE EASTMAN CHEMICAL COMPANY.

LLUMAR AND SUNTECH BRANDS ARE WELL KNOWN BRANDS IN WINDOW FILM AND PAINT PROTECTION FILM, AS ERICA HAD BROUGHT UP EARLIER.

THEN IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, WE WE'VE HAD PRESENCE WITH WINDOW FILM AND PAINT PROTECTION FILM FOR WELL OVER 40 YEARS.

WE OUR BUSINESS IS AROUND $25 MILLION A YEAR IN SALES OF THESE FILMS. WE THE PRODUCTS ARE SOLD THROUGH DISTRIBUTION CENTERS TODAY THROUGH ONE IN HOUSTON, AS WELL AS ONE IN NEARBY EULESS.

WE SELL TO OVER 500 DEALERS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, AS WELL AS 200 CAR DEALERSHIPS.

SO THIS IS A SEGUE INTO THE REQUEST THAT WE HAVE.

WE'VE OVERGROWN OUR INSTALLATION FACILITY IN EULESS, AND WE ALSO WANT TO BE CLOSER TO OUR CUSTOMERS, THE CAR DEALERSHIPS, MANY OF THEM HERE IN THE CITY OF GRAPEVINE.

SO WHAT WILL WE BE DOING AT THE SITE? SO AS I MENTIONED, OUR CUSTOMERS ARE CAR DEALERSHIPS.

THEY WANT TO OFFER THE FILMS TO CAR BUYERS, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THEY DON'T HAVE INSTALLERS OR THEY DON'T HAVE SPACE.

THAT'S WHERE WE COME IN.

THE INSTALLATION OR APPLICATION OF THESE FILMS HAS TO BE DONE MANUALLY.

IT HAS TO BE DONE WITH PRECISION BY TRAINED INSTALLERS.

WE DID MENTION ALREADY PAINT PROTECTION, FILM WINDOW FILMS, THE TWO THINGS THAT WE, WE DO HERE.

AND THEN JUST FROM A PROCESS STANDPOINT ESSENTIALLY NEW CARS ARE DELIVERED FROM LOCAL GRAPEVINE CAR DEALERSHIPS OVER TO THE SHOP.

THE CARS ARE ALREADY PRE-PREPARED.

THEY'RE ALREADY WASHED THROUGH THE FACILITY AND CLEANED IN PREPARATION FOR THE FILM.

SO GENERALLY AT OUR SITE, ALL WE'RE DOING IS JUST RINSING, GIVING THE CAR A LIGHT RINSE TO GIVE TAKE OFF ANY DUST OR ANY OTHER DEBRIS.

AND THE FILMS ARE APPLIED USING TWO MAIN SOLUTIONS.

ONE IS CALLED A SLIP SOLUTION AND THAT IS JUST A MIXTURE OF WATER, A LOT OF WATER AND JOHNSON BABY POWDER.

THAT'S JUST THE POSITION, THE FILM.

AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IS A TACK SOLUTION AND THAT IS A MIXTURE OF WATER AGAIN, A LOT OF IT WITH ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL.

THIS IS THE SAME ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL YOU BUY IN A WALGREENS.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE BASICALLY USING.

WE JUST USE 32 OUNCE SQUIRT BOTTLE.

SO IT'S NOT A CAR WASH.

WE'RE JUST REALLY POSITIONING THE FILM ON THE VEHICLES FOR USE AT ANY GIVEN TIME.

WE HAVE A SPACE OF AROUND 7200FT², BUT AT ANY GIVEN TIME, WE PROBABLY WILL ONLY HAVE ABOUT 5 TO 8 CARS IN THE FACILITY FOR THE DURATION OF TIME THAT THE

[00:55:09]

CAR IS THERE COULD BE A FEW HOURS OR A FEW DAYS.

IT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH OF THE CAR WE'RE PROVIDING THE FILM COVERAGE.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT A HOOD INSIDE, IT COULD BE THERE MAYBE 3 OR 4 HOURS.

IF YOU'RE DOING THE WHOLE CAR, IT COULD BE THERE 2 OR 3 DAYS.

THERE WAS A QUESTION EARLIER ABOUT CURING TIME THAT MAY BE REQUIRED.

SO THE FILMS ARE NOT LIKE CERAMIC COATING.

CERAMIC COATING DOES REQUIRE SOME CURING TIME WITH THESE FILMS. BASICALLY, WHEN THEY'RE FILMED, WE CAN RETURN IT BACK TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP.

THE CAR DEALERSHIP WANT THE CAR TO GIVE IT TO THE CAR BUYERS RIGHT AWAY.

WITH REGARDS TO EMPLOYEES AND THE WORK SCHEDULES, WE'LL HAVE APPROXIMATELY EIGHT INSTALLERS WORKING OUT OF THIS FACILITIES.

ALL THE INSTALLERS ARE EASTMAN EMPLOYEES.

THEY'RE ALL SCREENED PRIOR TO EMPLOYMENT.

THEY'RE ALL SUBJECT TO RANDOM DRUG TESTING.

AT ANY GIVEN POINT IN TIME, THE GENERAL HOURS OF OPERATIONS THAT WE HAVE IS MONDAY TO FRIDAYS, TYPICALLY STARTING AT 8 A.M.

THEY FINISH AROUND 6 P.M.

OCCASIONALLY, WE MAY BE WORKING ON SATURDAYS OR SUNDAYS WITH A SMALL CREWS DURING BUSY SEASON FOR CAR SALES.

THE RIGHT HAND SIDE THERE'S JUST TWO PICTURES I HAVE ON ANOTHER SLIDE, A COUPLE MORE ON HOW THE FILM IS APPLIED.

YOU CAN SEE GENERALLY IT'S PUT ON THE CARS.

THERE'S NOT A LOT OF WATER AROUND OR OR MESS.

THIS SLIDE GIVES A FEW MORE OF HOW THE FILM IS PRODUCED.

THE LEFT UPPER ONE IS ON THE HOOD.

THE MIDDLE ON THE UPPER SIDE.

IT'S AROUND THE FRONT.

THE FRONT BUMPER.

ANOTHER ONE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.

ON THE UPPER SIDE IS ALSO THE HOOD.

THE ONE ON THE BOTTOM. IN THE MIDDLE.

THIS IS WINDOW FILM THAT YOU CAN PUT ON THE CAR.

SO WE WE'LL BE DOING BOTH.

THAT'S A SUMMARY OVERALL OF OF WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE PLAN TO DO.

I'M OPEN FOR OTHER QUESTIONS.

QUESTIONS. CAN YOU DESCRIBE HOW HOW THE VEHICLES GET TO YOUR LOCATION? ARE THEY DRIVEN INDIVIDUALLY OR.

YEAH, THE CAR DEALERSHIPS, THEY'LL HAVE THEIR PERSONNEL DRIVE IT OVER AND THEN THEY'LL COME AND PICK IT UP.

THERE'S LIKE 3 OR 4 OF THESE CAR DEALERSHIPS THAT LITERALLY RIGHT ACROSS THE HIGHWAY, 114 FROM US, BUT THEY'LL BRING THE CARS OVER AND THEY'LL TAKE IT BACK.

AND THEN BEFORE, BEFORE YOU GET TO A TO A GIVEN VEHICLE, IS IT IS THE CAR IS THERE A SPECIAL PARKING SPACE WITH.

THEY'LL BRING IT DIRECTLY INSIDE.

WE WE'RE NOT WE WON'T BE KEEPING CARS OUTSIDE IF THERE'S A IF THERE'S CARS THAT REQUIRES 2 OR 3 DAYS TO DO BECAUSE IT'S A FULL CAR WRAP, THEY'LL STAY INSIDE.

OKAY. AND THEN WHEN, WHEN IT'S DONE, YOU JUST CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY.

YEAH, WE LET THEM KNOW AND THEY WILL COME AND PICK IT UP.

TYPICALLY THEY'LL COME, THEY'LL BRING A NEW CAR OVER AND PICK UP ONE THAT'S FINISHED.

OKAY. THANK YOU. QUESTION.

YES, I'VE GOT A QUESTION.

SO THE CAR STAY INSIDE.

CORRECT. ALL THE TIME. AND THEN DO YOU WILL THERE BE ANY RETAIL SALES TO CUSTOMERS OR ANYONE ELSE? NO. THESE ARE WHOLESALE TO THE CAR DEALERSHIPS ONLY AT THIS POINT.

OKAY. THANK YOU. YOU HAVE APPROXIMATELY EIGHT INSTALLERS.

HOW MANY OTHER EMPLOYEES? SO WE HAVE LIKE TWO OTHER EMPLOYEES, LIKE INSTALLATION MANAGER.

AND WE DON'T HAVE ONE YET, BUT LIKE AN OFFICE TYPE MANAGER.

SO IN TOTAL, WE MAY HAVE 14 STAFF FOR THIS OPERATIONS, BUT ABOUT HALF OF THEM MAY BE WORKING ACTUALLY, IN THE CAR DEALERSHIPS OUTSIDE OF THE AREA. OKAY. AND ARE THERE ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON SITE? NO. THERE'S NONE.

NO. NO OTHER QUESTIONS.

QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL.

APPARENTLY NOT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK? YES, SIR. I HAVE ONE REQUEST.

I CAN'T READ IT.

STEVE WORTH 1201 MENTORS CHAPEL ROAD, NUMBER 302.

COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME TONIGHT.

I STOOD HERE FOUR AND A HALF YEARS AGO, GOING THROUGH THIS SAME PROCESS TO GET A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR MY SHOP.

GRAPEVINE ALREADY HAS A LLUMAR WINDOW TINTING SHOP AT 1201 MENTORS CHAPEL ROAD, JUST NORTH OF THE MERCEDES DEALERSHIP.

THE BMW DEALERSHIP LEXUS RIGHT THERE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

THESE FOLKS ARE MY SUPPLIER.

I AM THEIR CUSTOMER.

AND THEY'VE DECIDED TO ENCROACH ON MY TERRITORY.

INTERNAL SQUABBLE, I GET IT, BUT I HAVE A DEALERSHIP AGREEMENT THAT SAYS THAT I'M PROTECTED WITHIN A FIVE MILE RADIUS.

[01:00:08]

THIS SHOP IS 1.9 MILES FROM MY SHOP, AND FOR THAT REASON, I'M ASKING THE COUNCIL TO DENY THIS REQUEST.

QUESTIONS VERY MUCH.

YOU DON'T GET TO ASK QUESTIONS, YOU JUST GET TO SPEAK.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? NO, YOUR HONOR. ALL RIGHT.

ANY CORRESPONDENCE? YES, SIR. THERE ARE TWO LETTERS IN FRONT OF ME.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MR. CHAIRMAN. YES? WE NEED A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

MOTION TO CLOSE SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? COMMISSIONER CLOSED A MOTION FROM THE COUNCIL.

MOVE TO CLOSE. SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? ALL OPPOSED.

PUBLIC HEARINGS CLOSED.

PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN ON PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

[7. Planned Development Overlay PD24-01 (Reserve at Bear Creek) – City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission to conduct a public hearing relative to an application submitted by Ben Ford with Wright Group Architects - Planners requesting a planned development overlay to deviate from, but not be limited to, minimum lot size, side yard setback, front yard setback, lot width, lot depth, and maximum building height; and to allow front entry garages for lots less than 40- feet in width in conjunction with a townhouse development. The subject property is located at 4201 State Highway 360 and is currently zoned “R-TH”, Townhouse District. ]

PD 24-1 ERICA MAROHNIC.

OKAY. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR A PLAN DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4201 STATE HIGHWAY 360 TO DEVIATE FROM, BUT NOT LIMITED TO MINIMUM LOT SIZE, YARD SETBACKS, LOT WIDTH AND DEPTH, MINIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT, AND TO ALLOW FOR FRONT ENTRY GARAGES FOR LOTS LESS THAN 40FT IN WIDTH.

IN CONJUNCTION WITH A TOWNHOUSE DEVELOPMENT.

THE SUBDIVISION RECEIVED APPROVAL IN 2018 FOR A REZONE TO THE RTH TOWNHOUSE DISTRICT, AND AT THAT TIME IT WAS APPROVED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY DEVIATIONS.

CONSTRUCTION BEGAN ON THIS DEVELOPMENT, BUT WAS NOT COMPLETED SINCE THAT TIME PD 18-02, WHICH WAS THE INITIAL PLAN DEVELOPMENT, HAS EXPIRED AND ALL PREVIOUSLY APPROVED PLAN DEVELOPMENT REQUESTS HAVE NOT CHANGED AS PART OF THIS REQUEST.

IN 2022, PD 22-03 WAS APPROVED, WHICH DID CHANGE THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS AND DECREASE THE MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT FROM THREE STORIES 45FT TO THREE STORIES 38FT.

THIS ALSO INCLUDED A MUCH MORE MODERN FAÇADE WITH FLAT ROOF DESIGN AND 100% MASONRY MATERIALS, EXCLUDING DOORS AND WINDOWS, AND INCLUDED ALL BRICK, STUCCO AND STONE.

SINCE THAT TIME, PD 22-03 ALSO EXPIRED DUE TO LACK OF COMPLETION ON THE PROJECT, AND MOST RECENTLY, IN NOVEMBER OF 2023, YOU HEARD A NEW PLAN DEVELOPMENT REQUEST, AT WHICH TIME THERE WAS A CENTRAL AMENITY AREA SHOWN ON THE SCREEN THAT WAS PROPOSED TO BE REPLATTED TO ALLOW FOR TWO ADDITIONAL LOTS.

SO BRINGING IT FROM 69 TOWNHOUSE LOTS TO 71, THAT WAS DENIED BY THE COUNCIL AND COMMISSION.

SO NOW THE APPLICANT IS BACK WITH THE INITIAL REQUEST, WHICH WAS FOR THE 69 SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED TOWNHOUSE LOTS WITH NO OTHER CHANGES TO THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY SINCE IT HAS EXPIRED.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

MR. BEN FORD IS HERE TO PRESENT AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THE COUNCIL AND COMMISSION MAY HAVE.
