[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Request to Construct a Sanitary Sewer Line within a Fifteen-Foot (15’) Wide Corridor Upon, Over and Across a Portion of Finch Park, and Accompanying Ordinance]
TO A REGULAR AGENDA. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS. 242232. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ACT ON A REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT A SANITARY SEWER LINE WITHIN A 15 FOOT WIDE CORRIDOR. UPON, OVER, AND ACROSS A PORTION OF FINCH PARK AND ACCOMPANYING ORDINANCE. HI THERE, JENNY BAKER PARKS PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT MANAGER. SO THIS REQUEST, AS YOU SAID, IS TO CONSTRUCT AN EIGHT FOOT SANITARY SEWER LINE WITHIN A PORTION OF FINCH. THIS IS TO SERVE THE KENTUCKY STREET ADDITION, WHICH IS A TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS THAT HAS APPROVAL. IT'S JUST TO THE SOUTH AND THE EAST OF FINCH PARK. THE APPLICANT IS HERE TONIGHT, AND THEY WILL BE GOING THROUGH SEVERAL DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR A SANITARY SEWER ALIGNMENT. THE FIRST OF WHICH IS ONE THAT THERE IS THEIR PREFERENCE AS WELL AS STAFF'S AND CITY. CITY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT HAS REVIEWED ALL ALIGNMENTS AS WELL. ONE REASON WHY THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS THAT SINCE IT IS CITY PARK LAND, WE HAVE TO COMPLY WITH CHAPTER 26 OF THE TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE CODE, WHICH REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN A SERIES OF NOTICES. AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS NOW OR AFTER THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION. SO, JENNY, THE WAY I HAVE THE SENSE OF THIS THAT I HAVE IS THAT THEY WILL COME IN, THEY WILL CONSTRUCT A SANITARY SEWER IN FINCH PARK. IT WILL PREVENT SOME USE OF FINCH PARK FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME, BUT THEN IT WILL BE MADE RIGHT IN THE PARK WILL BE RIGHT BACK WHERE IT WAS AGAIN. AND FOLKS[00:30:05]
WON'T REALLY NOTICE A DIFFERENCE. THEY WILL. IT'S A SMALL 15 FOOT WIDE STRETCH.THERE WILL BE SOME TREES IMPACTED AND THEY WILL MITIGATE FOR THE TREES. THANK YOU. AND THAT'S AN AREA THAT'S NOT PLANNED FOR ANY FORM OF DEVELOPMENT. CORRECT. CORRECT.
IT DOES NOT IMPACT ANY USAGE OF FINCH. I'M REFERRING TO OPTION NUMBER ONE. YOU'RE CORRECT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU. WOULD THE APPLICANT LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING TO THAT? YES. IT'S RIGHT HERE. I HOPE YOU. YEAH. THERE YOU GO. THIS ONE OR THAT ONE? THIS ONE.
THERE YOU GO. ARE WE TESTING? NO, IT'S THE ARROWS. ALL RIGHT. I'M BRIAN BLAIR. SOME OF YOU ALL KNOW ME. SOME OF Y'ALL MAY NOT. I REPRESENT 800 SOUTH KENTUCKY LLC AND THIS PROJECT WAS ORIGINALLY A PD BACK IN 1980S FOR SOME TOWNHOMES. WE'VE COME IN AND WE'VE GOTTEN WORKED WITH THE CITY FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW TO GET THE 34 TOWNHOMES. AND SO NOW WE'RE OBVIOUSLY WORKING THROUGH THE SEWER ISSUE. SO BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, 800 SOUTH KENTUCKY'S DOWN THERE. FINCH PARK KIND OF WRAPS AROUND OUR PROPERTY. OPTION ONE AND THIS ACTUALLY THE CITY STAFF GAVE US THIS RECOMMENDATION ALMOST FOUR YEARS AGO. WE'LL COME DOWN THROUGH OUR PROPERTY AND THEN WE'LL GO RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE SUBDIVISION. AND THAT'S WHY WE REALLY AREN'T GOING TO IMPACT FINCH PARK BY THAT MUCH. SO THAT GREEN YELLOW LINE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS THE PROPOSED SANITARY SEWER AND OPTION ONE. CORRECT. THANK YOU. AND THEN THE AMBERISH YELLOW LINE IS THE CURRENT SEWER LINE. THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL IDEA FOUR YEARS AGO. WE WERE GOING TO GO OBVIOUSLY UNDERNEATH THE CREEK AND THEN ALL THE WAY ACROSS FINCH PARK, WHICH OBVIOUSLY IS A LOT MORE INVASIVE. AND THAT'S WHEN THE CITY STAFF CAME BACK AND PROPOSED THE OTHER OPTION. AND THEN THE THIRD OPTION IS A LIFT STATION, WHICH I DON'T THINK ANY OF US REALLY WANT BECAUSE IT'S JUST DEFERRED MAINTENANCE FOR THE CITY. SO IT'S BASICALLY THE THREE OPTIONS. BUT AGAIN, WE PREFER OPTION ONE. WE'RE ONLY GOING TO GO ABOUT 120FT INTO THE PARK OR DOWN THE PARK. AND AGAIN IT'S 15FT WIDE. WE'VE ALREADY DONE A TREE SURVEY TO MARK OUT ANY TREES. AND SO WE KNOW HOW BIG THEY ARE, WHAT KIND THEY ARE. AND WE'LL WORK WITH JENNY ON WORKING THROUGH THOSE. ANY QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I DO HAVE A QUESTION OR TWO FOR MISS KINCAID. IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND. PLEASE. JAMIE'S NOT HERE. I'M SORRY. SHE'S HERE, BUT SHE AIN'T COMING FROM THE DOCK. THAT'S OKAY. JENNY. MY APOLOGIES. WE'RE REQUIRED TO MAKE A COUPLE OF FINDINGS BEFORE ENTERING INTO THIS ORDINANCE. AND I JUST NEED TO ASK YOU, IS THERE ANY FEASIBLE AND PRUDENT ALTERNATIVE TO THIS PROJECT? STAFF'S OPINION IS THAT THERE IS NOT. WE CONCUR WITH OPTION ONE. AND DOES IT INCLUDE ALL REASONABLE PLANNING TO MINIMIZE HARM? IT DOES, AND I BELIEVE THAT THOSE ARE THE ONLY TWO FINDINGS I WANTED TO GET ON THE RECORD. AND THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK UP ON MY BEHALF AND MY APOLOGIES ON YOUR NAME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MR. MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THIS ITEM AS PRESENTED BY STAFF. I'LL SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED.
[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Specific Use Permit Request for a Major Vehicle Repair and Automobile Storage (Hendrick Automotive), Located on the South Side of Wilmeth Road and Approximately 865 feet West of the Intersection of US Highway 75 and Wilmeth Road, and Accompanying Ordinance]
MOTION PASSES. ITEM 240012 SUPP. TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AND ACT ON A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR A MAJOR VEHICLE REPAIR AND AUTOMOBILE STORAGE. HENDRICK AUTOMOTIVE, LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF WILMOTH ROAD AND APPROXIMATELY 865FT WEST OF THE INTERSECTION OF U.S. HIGHWAY 75 AND WILMOTH ROAD AND ACCOMPANYING ORDINANCE. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. JENNIFER ARNOLD AGAIN, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING. AND THIS IS, AS YOU READ, A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR MAJOR VEHICLE REPAIR. THIS IS PART OF THE HENDRICK'S AUTO GROUP. SO THEY DO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP THERE ALONG THE FRONTAGE. THE PROPOSED VEHICLE REPAIR IS IN ASSOCIATION WITH THAT DEALERSHIP. YOU'LL SEE HERE ON THE LOCATION MAP THE EXTENT OF THE PROPOSED FACILITY.I WILL NOTE THAT THAT FAR SOUTHWESTERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY IS PRIMARILY THERE FOR DETENTION STORAGE. THE PROPOSED A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT WOULD ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 60 ZERO ZERO ZERO SQUARE FOOT VEHICLE REPAIR CENTER ON APPROXIMATELY 18 ACRES OF THE TRACT, SO AS YOU'LL NOTE THAT THE FACILITY IS OFF OF THE FRONTAGE OF THE ROADWAY AND STAFF HAS REVIEWED IT. IT DOES MEET ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR BOTH THE SITE PLANNING COMPONENT, AS WELL AS THE DECISION MAKING CRITERIA THAT WE WOULD BE LOOKING FOR WITH A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUEST. IF YOU'RE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE SUP, YOU MIGHT NOTICE THAT THERE
[00:35:05]
IS A LOT OF STRIPED PARKING ON THE PROPERTY. THERE IS A PROTECTIVE GATE THERE THAT IS ALONG AND I MAY GET THIS SPECIFIC LOCATION A LITTLE BIT OFF, BUT RIGHT THROUGH HERE, THIS IS A PRIVACY GATE AND IT WILL BE FENCED OFF. SO THE BALANCE OF THE PARKING THAT'S PROVIDED ON THE PROPERTY IS FOR THE STORAGE OF VEHICLES OVERNIGHT. THAT ARE AWAITING REPAIR, AS WELL AS POTENTIALLY INVENTORY VEHICLES, RENTAL CARS FOR FOLKS WHO ARE WAITING FOR THEIR SERVICE. AND SO ALL OF THAT IS ON THE BACK PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. IT IS PROPOSED TO BE SCREENED. IT MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CODE. STAFF'S REVIEW THE REQUEST. WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION'S ALSO CONSIDER THE REQUEST AND IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, AND I KNOW THAT THE APPLICANT AND HENDRICK'S TEAM ARE HERE AS WELL. ANY QUESTIONS? JENNIFER. SO SEEING THE WEST OF WILMOTH ON 75 ISN'T THAT CLOSE TO MCKINNEY NORTH? IT IS NEAR MCKINNEY NORT. AND I WANT TO. OH, AND I NEED TO NOTE THIS AS WELL. YEAH. SO WE HAVE IF YOU'LL NOTE HERE WE'VE GOT I'LL PUT IT RIGHT HERE. WE HAVE THIS IS THESE ARE BOTH MULTIFAMILY PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING IN CURRENTLY. WE DO HAVE THIS REZONING ON THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF WILMOTH WAS JUST RECENTLY APPROVED. THIS PORTION RIGHT HERE IS PROPOSED TO REMAIN FOR RETAIL. THIS IS THE EXISTING DEALERSHIP. AND THE BALANCE IS YET TO BE PROPOSED FOR DEVELOPMENT. AT THIS POINT IN TIME. THE MULTIFAMILY IS PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY THING THAT'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE INSIDE THERE. THAT IS CORRECT. AND I WILL NOTE THAT THERE IS A REQUIRED MASONRY SCREENING WALL THAT WILL SEPARATE BETWEEN THE MULTIFAMILY AND THE VEHICLE STORAGE OR THE VEHICLE REPAIR. THAT PROPERTY IS ACTUALLY PART OF THE HENDRICK'S OWNERSHIP OR WAS ORIGINALLY. SO THEY'VE BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THE JPI GROUP ON THAT MULTIFAMILY PROJECT. SO BOTH PROJECTS ARE VERY WELL AWARE OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO SITES. ESSENTIALLY, IT'S GOING TO BE A I HATE TO SAY THAT, BUT IT'S UNTIL THEY'RE REPAIRED. IT'S LIKE A JUNKYARD BACK THERE. THERE'S GOING TO BE A BUNCH OF DAMAGED CARS RIGHT. NOT NO NOT NO. SO LET ME TRY AND GO BACK HERE AND LET ME SEE. IT'S DIFFICULT TO SEE ON THIS. THE LOCATION THAT IS DESIGNATED FOR THE VEHICLES THAT ARE AWAITING REPAIR IS REALLY RELEGATED TO THIS AREA HERE. THAT'S NOT TO SAY THERE WON'T BE SOME THAT MAY BE MIGRATE, BUT THE MAJORITY OF THAT PARKING IN THE BACK IS REALLY FOR OVERFLOW OF INVENTORY FROM THE DEALERSHIP, RENTAL VEHICLES AND EMPLOYEE PARKING AS WELL. BUT ALL OF THAT IS STILL REQUIRED TO BE SCREENED FOR THE CITY'S CODE. SO IT'S NOT VISIBLE FROM THE PUBLIC VIEW OR THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. SO DEFINITELY WILL BE A LOT OF VEHICLES THERE, BUT IT WILL BE SCREENED. THANK YOU JENNIFER. DIDN'T WE JUST APPROVE THIS LITTLE SLIVER? OH I'M SORRY.NEXT TO IT TO THE WEST. YES, SIR. COMMERCIAL USES THAT WOULD ACT AS A BUFFER BETWEEN THE APARTMENTS AND THE VEHICLE REPAIR SHOP. THERE'S NOT COMMERCIAL IN THAT SLIVER, SO IT WILL BE A DIRECT RELATIONSHIP HERE. WILL BE THE MULTIFAMILY, AND THEN THIS HERE, I'LL USE A DIFFERENT COLOR. NOT THAT ONE, THOUGH. THIS HERE WILL BE THE AUTO. THAT'S STILL NOT A GREAT COLOR. SORRY. WE'LL USE RED. THIS HERE IS THE VEHICLE REPAIR. I THOUGHT WE HAD APPROVED THIS SECTION RIGHT HERE IN A PRIOR MEETING. SO WITH THE MULTIFAMILY REZONING REQUEST THAT CAME IN PREVIOUSLY, THERE WAS A SMALL SLIVER OF COMMERCIAL THAT PROPERTY THAT WAS EXISTING. SO WITH THAT MULTIFAMILY REZONE, THAT COMMERCIAL DESIGNATION WENT AWAY AND WENT ENTIRELY INTO MULTIFAMILY. 300FT DEEP. IN VERY, VERY NARROW. IT WAS A TRUE DEFINITION OF A SLIVER. YEAH.
YEAH. ALL RIGHT. IS THE APPLICANT HERE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE ITEM? OKAY. THANK YOU. GENTLEMEN. GOOD JOB. THANK, MISTER MAYOR. COMMISSIONERS. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS GENE.

THING THAT I FAILED TO MENTION IN MY INTRODUCTION TO THE ITEM IS. WE DID NOTICE AFTER THE PACKET WAS PUBLISHED THAT THE EXHIBITS INCLUDED WITH THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE HAD AN ERRONEOUS LOCATION MAP. SO IN FRONT OF YOU IS THIS VISUAL? SO WITH THE RECORD, WHEN THE ACTION IS TAKEN, IF WE COULD JUST MAKE SURE WE CONDITION OR NOTE THAT SWAP OUT OF THOSE EXHIBITS FOR THAT LOCATION MAP. IS THERE A MOTION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION. WE APPROVE THIS. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THIS ITEM. I WILL SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? I OPPOSED. ALL RIGHT. ITEM 240017[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Specific Use Permit Request for a Drive-Through Restaurant (McDonalds), Located at 3300 Virginia Parkway, and Accompanying Ordinance]
SUPP. TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ACT ON A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR A DRIVE THRU RESTAURANT. MCDONALD'S, LOCATED AT 3300 VIRGINIA PARKWAY. JENNIFER.THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR.

THIS ONE FOR STAFF IS FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD. THE PROPOSED DRIVE THRU IS IN A LOCATION THAT ALLOWS FOR THE NECESSARY INGRESS AND EGRESS OF THE SITE. ALL OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS INCLUDED WITH THE EXHIBIT MEET THE CITY'S CODE. AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE ITEM. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ALSO CONSIDERED THE ITEM AND IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL MAY HAVE. JENNIFER I HAVE A HUGE ISSUE WITH THIS ONE. CAN YOU BACK UP JUST A LITTLE BIT TO THE MAP VIEW? YES. AND THIS IS NOT VERY FAR FROM WHERE I LIVE. SO I PASS THIS AREA ALL THE TIME. WE'VE GOT A LOT OF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT ON THIS ROAD. BIGGEST ISSUE THAT WE HAVE IS THE TRAFFIC FLOWS FROM IMAGINED ACADEMY, AND WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF ISSUES WITH BACKUP EVERYWHERE, BUT JUST A LOT OF INCREASED FLOWS THAT EXIT, GETTING OUT OF THE DRIVE THROUGH IS A MAJOR ISSUE. THERE'S A LOT OF BACKUP COMING OUT OF THAT WALMART PARKING LOT FOR PEOPLE GOING EASTBOUND ON VIRGINIA, AND THERE'S NOTHING THERE TO IMPROVE THAT FLOW. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS I'VE SEEN MULTIPLE NEAR ACCIDENTS THERE. AND MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS KIND OF GETTING IN AND OUT OF THAT AREA. BUT ALSO JUST, YOU KNOW, WITH THE WITH THE SENIOR LIVING FACILITY THAT'S COMING ON BOARD AND MORE OF THE DEVELOPMENT COMMERCIALLY THAT'S GOING ON BOARD ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF HARDEN WITH THE ADDITION OF EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE GOING ON WITH IMAGINE AND MCA THAT ARE CAUSING HUGE TRAFFIC FLOW ISSUES, I DON'T SEE WHY THIS IS A GOOD UTILIZATION OF THIS LOT. I DON'T THINK A DRIVE THROUGH MCDONALD'S IS GREAT. HERE. WE HAVE ANOTHER MCDONALD'S ON HARDEN AND EL DORADO. THERE'S ONE ON ON 75 AND WHITE. THERE'S ONE ON 380 AND LAKE FOREST. I MEAN THERE THERE ARE OTHER MCDONALD'S IN A VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY AND I DON'T MIND YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY GRANTING SUPS WHERE WHERE IT MAKES SENSE. BUT THIS TO ME JUST THESE TRAFFIC FLOWS, THIS IS A REALLY HUGE AREA OF DANGER HERE THAT I VERY OFTEN WITNESS PEOPLE HAVING HUGE ISSUES GETTING IN AND OUT THERE, AND ABSOLUTELY SO. WITH YOUR CONSIDERATION AND YOUR PERSPECTIVE, YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO USE THAT AS PART OF YOUR MOTION OR RECOMMENDATION AS PART OF THE SUP, THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT HAS REVIEWED THE EXHIBIT. THEY DIDN'T NOTE ANY OF THOSE ITEMS. IT MEETS ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY WHAT DRIVES A BIG COMPONENT OF OUR RECOMMENDATION. BUT WITH THOSE CONCERNS THAT YOU HAVE, ABSOLUTELY, YOU'RE ABLE TO HAVE THEM AND INCLUDE THOSE IN WHATEVER RECOMMENDATION OR ACTION THAT YOU'D LIKE TO PURSUE. IS THE APPLICANT HERE? YES. HI THERE. MY NAME IS CHLOE HOFFMAN. I'M WITH UFFICIO, LOCATED ON 1008 MACON STREET, SUITE 101IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS. I AM HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL HAVE. DO YOU HAVE ANY PROPOSITIONS TO MAKE THAT EASIER OR EASIER? CROSSING THERE. SO WHENEVER IT COMES TO TRAFFIC FLOW, THAT'S ENGINEERS AND ARCHITECTS KIND OF QUESTION. AND EVERYTHING WE DO THE PERMITTING FOR MCDONALD'S. LIKE SHE SAID, PLANNING AND ZONING GAVE RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL. SO WE'RE KIND OF RUNNING WITH THAT. BUT I YOUR CONCERNS ARE COMPLETELY VALID. I DON'T WANT TO DISCOUNT PLANNING AND ZONING INPUT ON THIS. I KNOW THEY DO REALLY GREAT WORK AND THEY'RE DILIGENT. THIS IS JUST COMING FROM A PERSON THAT DRIVES THAT LOT AND THAT INTERSECTION
[00:45:02]
ON A VERY REGULAR BASIS. AND I JUST I THINK THIS IS A HORRIBLE LOCATION FOR A DRIVE THROUGH HORRIBLE. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE ITEM? SEEING NONE, IS THERE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND DENY THIS ITEM. I'LL SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE AGAINST NAY NAY.HOW MANY? SO HOW MANY NAYS? RAISE YOUR HAND. THAT WHO DID NOT SUPPORT IT? SO. ONE, TWO, THREE. SO THERE ARE FOUR EYES. MOTION PASSES. SO THE MOTION WAS MADE BY MAYOR PRO TEM AND SECONDED BY RICK FRANKLIN. SO I AM SORRY, MA'AM. NEXT ITEM 2400962 CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING
[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Request to Rezone the Subject Properties from “AG” - Agriculture District to “I1” - Light Industrial District, Located on the South Side of Bloomdale Road and Located on the East and West Side of Cypress Hill Drive, and Accompanying Ordinance]
TO CONSIDER. ACT ON REQUEST TO REZONE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM AGRICULTURE DISTRICT TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT. LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF BLOOMDALE ROAD. LOCATED ON THE EAST AND WEST SIDE OF CYPRESS HILL DRIVE AND ACCOMPANYING ORDINANCE. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. THIS REQUEST IS FOR A 22.5 ACRE PROPERTY. AS YOU NOTED, AT BLOOMDALE AND CYPRESS HILL DRIVE. I'LL PULL UP THAT LOCATION MAP HERE TO THE NORTH OF THE PROPERTY OR NORTH OF BLOOMDALE IS THE PECAN RIDGE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. HOWEVER, ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ROADWAY IS AN EXPANSE OF A LOT OF DIFFERENT INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTS. THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY IS ACTUALLY WITHIN THE OAK HOLLOW DISTRICT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND HAS BEEN ENVISIONED FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTS SINCE AT LEAST AS FAR BACK AS 2018. AS PART OF THE COMP PLAN DESIGNATION. SO WHEN THE REQUEST CAME THROUGH, STAFF DEFINITELY RECOGNIZED THE PROXIMITY TO THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. HOWEVER, WE DID ALSO LOOK AT THE BALANCE OF DEVELOPMENT HAPPENING ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF BLOOMDALE, AS WELL AS THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION. AND BECAUSE THE REQUEST ON THE PROPERTY IS GOING TO A STRAIGHT LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT, WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF IT. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION'S ALSO CONSIDERED THE ITEM AND IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL. I DID WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I NOTED ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT OCCURS ON THIS PROPERTY WILL HAVE TO BE SET BACK OFF OF BLOOMDALE A MINIMUM OF 20FT, AS WELL AS ANY PARKING AND FIRE LANES THAT MIGHT ALSO SET IT BACK EVEN FURTHER THAN THAT. SO WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, AND I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT IS HERE AS WELL. QUESTIONS FOR JENNIFER. THE APPLICANT LIKE TO SPEAK ON THE ITEM. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL. MY NAME IS JAMES YU WITH LOVETT INDUSTRIAL. WE OFFICE OUT AT 3811 TURTLE CREEK, SUITE NUMBER 1050, IN DALLAS, TEXAS.JENNIFER, DO WE HAVE OUR PRESENTATION? I BELIEVE THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE PACKET. OKAY.
WE'VE GOT A QUICK PRESENTATION AND I'LL JUST RUN THROUGH THAT REAL QUICK. LET ME SEE.
ACTUALLY, I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW THAT I SEE OKAY I DON'T KNOW THAT I GOT IT I'M SORRY.
OKAY. NO THAT'S FINE I CAN TOUCH ON THE BRIEF HIGH POINTS AND SOME OF THE ITEMS WE TOUCHED ON WITH PLANNING AND ZONING. WE'VE ACTUALLY MET WITH THE PECAN RIDGE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO TALK THROUGH OUR DEVELOPMENT. AND WORK WITH THEM IN TERMS OF THEIR CONCERNS FOR TRAFFIC AND SCREENING FOR LANDSCAPING, BECAUSE WE'RE PUTTING IN A LARGE BUILDING THAT'S ADJACENT TO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, AND SO SOME OF THOSE ITEMS THAT WE HAVE ORIENTED IN TERMS OF OUR SITE PLAN TO HELP WITH THOSE IS OUR TRUCK DOCKS ARE ALL FACING TOWARD THE SOUTH, AND SO YOU WON'T HAVE THAT NOISE. AND THE TRAFFIC IS ALL ORIENTED TO HEAD OVER TO STATE HIGHWAY FIVE AND EXIT OFF OF CYPRESS ROAD AND HEAD DOWN TO WILMOTH. AND SO OUR DESIRE IS TO DO OUR BEST TO KEEP TRUCK TRAFFIC OFF OF BLOOMDALE. ANOTHER NOTE AS YOU MIGHT HAVE READ ON OUR LETTER OF INTENT, THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE SITE IS ENCUMBERED BY 100FT OF WATER LINE EASEMENT. THERE ARE TWO LARGE WATER LINES, ONE FOR THE CITY OF IRVING AND THE OTHER WITH NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT THAT ARE ON THAT SOUTH SIDE, AND SO IF YOU LOOK AT OTHER DEVELOPMENT USES, YOU'LL FIND THAT IT'D BE VERY DIFFICULT TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE USES. THE OTHER ITEM THAT WE'RE FOCUSING ON IS WITHIN THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER TO BLOOMDALE.
WE'RE PLANNING ON DOING EVERGREEN TREE TYPES AS WELL AS SHRUBS TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SCREENING. AND THE PRODUCT THAT WE TYPICALLY BUILD, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF MASONRY THERE, CONCRETE
[00:50:06]
TILT WALL. AND SO IT'S NOT A METAL BUILDING. THESE WILL BE VERY NICE BUILDINGS, VERY SIMILAR IF NOT BETTER IN TERMS OF THE LOOK, THAT'S MY OPINION WITH WHAT'S IN THAT AREA. AND SO WE'RE WORKING WITH STAFF TO MEET ALL THOSE CITY REQUIREMENTS AS WELL AS THE HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION TO PROVIDE A QUALITY DEVELOPMENT THAT THE RESIDENTS AND ALL THE OTHER NEIGHBORS WILL BE HAPPY WITH. AND THEN I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT CITY COUNCIL MAY HAVE QUESTIONS.THANK YOU. SIR, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITE? SEEING NONE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I'LL MAKE A MOTION. WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THIS ITEM. SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED? ITEM 2401002. CONDUCT A PUBLIC
[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Request to Rezone the Subject Property from “PD” - Planned Development District, “ML” - Light Manufacturing District, and “AG” - Agriculture District to “AP” - Airport District, Located at 1915 FM 546 and Including Approximately 75 Acres of Land Located North and West of the Intersection of FM 546 and CR 317, and Accompanying Ordinance]
HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ACT ON A REQUEST TO REZONE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, LIGHT MANUFACTURING DISTRICT AND AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO AIRPORT DISTRICT, LOCATED AT 1915 FM 546, INCLUDING APPROXIMATELY 75 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED NORTH AND WEST OF THE INTERSECTION OF FM 546 AND CR 317. JENNIFER. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. SO THIS IS THE 280 ACRES THAT SITS THERE. WE GO EAST OF THE EAST AND A LITTLE BIT SOUTH OF THE EXISTING MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT. THIS REQUEST TO REZONE THE PROPERTY IS IN CONCERT WITH THE AIRPORT AND THEIR OVERALL MASTER PLANS, AND THE PROPOSED ZONING DISTRICT IS THE AIRPORT ZONING DISTRICT WITHIN THE CITY'S ZONING ORDINANCE, WHICH WAS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED BACK IN 2022 WITH THE UDC TO ALLOW FOR AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT. SO STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE REQUEST. WE'VE WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH THE AIRPORT REPRESENTATIVES, WE'VE REVIEWED IT AGAINST THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL. I KNOW WE HAVE THE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE AIRPORT HERE AS WELL, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION IS ALSO RECOMMENDING APPROVAL, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS FOR JENNIFER? ALL RIGHT. BUT IS IT KEN OR ARE YOU GOING TO WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING OR. NO. KEN CARLISLE, AIRPORT DIRECTOR NO. MAYOR. I THINK JENNIFER DID A GREAT JOB OF SUMMARIZING IT. IT'S BASICALLY JUST TO SET THE STAGE FOR DEVELOPMENT FOR AERONAUTICAL USES ON THE EAST SIDE. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU.THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? OKAY. SEEING NONE ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MR. MAYOR, I MOVE. WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THIS ITEM.

AND HE DID. HE DID GREAT. AND THE ENTIRE MCKINNEY MAIN STREET TEAM AND ALL THE CITY STAFF THAT COMES OUT TO PREPARE FOR EVENTS LIKE THAT DID A WONDERFUL JOB. THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DOWN THERE ON FRIDAY NIGHT, AND THE MAYOR GOT TO LIGHT OUR CHRISTMAS TREE.SO THIS THE D2 PLAYOFFS CONTINUE LEADING TO THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME IN MCKINNEY ON
[00:55:10]
DECEMBER 21ST. THERE ARE EIGHT TEAMS LEFT AND YOU CAN WATCH THEM EVERY SATURDAY ON ESPN.PLUS, THERE ARE FOUR GAMES THIS WEEKEND, AND IF YOU WANT TO WATCH THAT AND KEEP UP WITH THAT. AND LASTLY, MY GOOD FRIEND JASON HERNANDEZ CALLED ME TODAY AND SAID HE NEEDED TO USE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I HAVE A BIG VAN, BUT HE DIDN'T TELL ME WHAT FOR. AND I ENDED UP AT VALLEY CREEK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, WHERE THE FIFTH GRADERS AND I THINK THE WHOLE SCHOOL ENDED UP DOING A DRIVE FOR HIM FOR GRANOLA BARS AND FRUIT SNACKS. AND NOT ONLY WAS MY VAN USED, I WAS THE LABOR AND DID NOT KNOW THAT THAT WAS HAPPENING. SO I APPRECIATE JASON FOR NOT TELLING ME ANY DETAILS, BUT THEY HAD 5000 SEPARATE ITEMS THAT ENDED UP GOING INTO MY VAN AND LIKE BOXES OF GRANOLA BARS THAT I MOVED ONE AT A TIME FOR, FOR SNACKS FOR HIS STORE AT LA TIENDITA. AND SO THE KIDS AT VALLEY CREEK DID A FANTASTIC JOB, KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK. I THINK THEY RAISED OR THEY BROUGHT THAT IN LIKE TWO DAYS. IT WAS AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF STUFF AND SO KUDOS TO THE VALLEY CREEK ELEMENTARY AND TO JASON FOR ALL HE DOES. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. GREAT. SUNDAY WE WENT OVER TO THE SQUARE WHERE IT WAS THE END OF HOME FOR HOLIDAYS, AND IT WAS ANOTHER TREMENDOUS EVENT.
PACKED WEATHER WAS GREAT. EVERYBODY WAS HAVING FUN SPENDING MONEY AND WELL, THAT'S ALL I HAD. WE WERE AT HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS AS WELL ON SUNDAY WITH OUR TWO OLDEST GRANDKIDS. I DIDN'T SEE COUNCILMAN FRANKLIN, BUT I DIDN'T GO TO THE CAROUSEL. MAYBE THAT'S WHERE HE WAS MOST OF THE DAY, BUT IT IS. IT'S JUST AMAZING. AND WE, OUR GRANDKIDS HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME. WE'RE SO FORTUNATE TO LIVE HERE. BUT, YOU KNOW, THIS MORNING I WENT TO SOMETHING THAT WAS VERY UNIQUE FOR ME. WHAT YOU SEE AT THESE MEETINGS WITH THE REZONINGS AND EVERYTHING, THAT'S THE BLOCKING AND TACKLING THIS JOB. BUT I WENT TO THE EDC EVENT TODAY, AND I FOUND OUT THAT PLUG AND PLAY HAS MCKINNEY, TEXAS AS ONE OF TEN CITIES IN THE WORLD IDENTIFIED AS A GLOBAL INNOVATION HUB, TEN CITIES IN THE WORLD, AND IT'S US. AND THERE WERE SOME REMARKABLY BRIGHT ENTREPRENEURIAL PEOPLE THERE WHO THEIR COMPANIES ARE OFFICING DOWNTOWN, AND THEY'VE MOVED HERE FROM ALL OVER, SOME FROM DALLAS, SOME FROM CALIFORNIA. THEY BUY HOMES HERE.
THESE ARE REALLY WONDERFUL, CREATIVE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT ONLY CHANGING MCKINNEY, BUT CHANGING THE WORLD. AND I WANT TO GIVE KUDOS TO, YOU KNOW, OUR PAST PRESIDENT OF THE EDC, PETER TOKAR, AND HIS CREW THAT STARTED THIS INNOVATION FUND THAT IS REALLY MAKING A PROFOUND DIFFERENCE IN MCKINNEY. AND THEN FOR MAJKOWSKI'S TEAM CURRENTLY AND MIKE TALLEY, WHO ARE EXECUTING ON THAT, BRINGING SOME MAGNIFICENT COMPANIES HERE TO MCKINNEY. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE, MR. MAYOR, I WANT TO JUST REITERATE THE HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS. ALWAYS A GREAT EVENT.
IT WAS GREAT TO SEE EVERYONE OUT AND THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE STAFF THAT'S THERE TO SUPPORT THAT EVENT, TO SET IT UP AND TO BREAK IT DOWN AND TO THE MAIN STREET CREW WHO RUN THE PROGRAM.
IT'S JUST SUCH A HEARTWARMING, FUN FAMILY TIME TO BE OUT. I GOT A CHANCE TO ATTEND THE TOPPING OFF CEREMONY OVER AT MEDICAL CITY MCKINNEY. THEY'RE GROWING. WE HAVE A GROWING POPULATION. WE HAVE TWO GREAT HOSPITALS IN THIS AREA, BUT THEY SEE THE NEED FOR EXPANSION, AND IT'S SO GREAT JUST TO SEE HOW WELL THEY'RE DOING THERE. THAT NEW BUILDING WILL HOUSE PROFESSIONAL OFFICES FOR THEIR PHYSICIANS AND PROVIDERS THERE. SO AND SOME ADMIN SPACE AS WELL. I WANTED TO THANK PUBLICLY OUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, RYAN GILLINGHAM, AND THE WHOLE PUBLIC WORKS TEAM IN THE CITY MANAGER'S NOTE, THERE WAS A MENTION OF THE WATER LEAK DETECTION PROGRAM USING SATELLITE TECHNOLOGY THAT HAS REDUCED OUR NON-REVENUE WATER. SO IT JUST LEAKS WATER. THAT'S NOT GOING TO RESIDENTS FROM 28% DOWN TO 7%, WHICH HAS SAVED TAXPAYERS $13.7 MILLION. THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER. YOU KNOW, I GOT INTO A DISCUSSION ABOUT OUR STAFF AND HOW STELLAR THAT THEY ARE, AND THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN COMPENSATE THEM ENOUGH FOR ALL OF THE THINGS THEY DO. BUT IT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE GOOD, TALENTED, INNOVATIVE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THESE POSITIONS TO HELP LEAD OUR CITY. SO I JUST WANTED TO PUBLICLY THANK RYAN FOR THAT. AND THEN LASTLY, I ALSO WANTED TO REITERATE AWESOME. AWESOME JOB. MAIN STREET ON THAT VIDEO. I THINK WE HAVE IT QUEUED RIGHT.
