HomeMy WebLinkAboutField Notes/ MinutesMr. Dresser stated that he is against this rezoning request because he agrees with
• Mr. Thraen that most of the traffic from this type of proposed project would go
through the neighborhood toward the campus, rather than to use Dartmouth/Harvey;
also that leaving a 50 foot buffer area would only leave a 130 foot area on which to
develop buildings and parking lots, which he does not think would be adequate. He
went on to explain that he also believes that approval of this request would run the
risk of doing damage to an established single family neighborhood, as well as the
fact that there are other areas currently being proposed for fraternities which will
create less negative impact.
Mr. Brochu stated he is also against this request because the requirement of a 50
foot buffer area would leave too small a developable area, adding that such buffer
area would not be very effective when multiple story buildings would surely be built.
Mr. Kaiser reminded the Commissoners that they are considering R-5 zoning rather than
fraternities or sororities.
Mr. Dresser made a motion to deny this request for the reasons he listed earlier in
the meeting. Mr. Brochu seconded the motion to deny. Votes were cast with the
motion to deny the request carrying by a vote of 4-2 (Kaiser & Wendler against).
AG$NDA ITBM N0. 4: 86-113: A public hearing on the question of
rezoning 38.631 acres of land located at the northwest corner of Rock
Prairie Road and Rio Graade Blvd. frog A-0 Agricultural open to R-1
Single Faaily Residential and C-N Neighborhood Business. Application
is in the nacre of Area Progress Corporation.
Mr. Callaway explained the request is to establish permanent zoning (following
• annexation) of R-1 & C-N. He located the 2 tracts of land, explained area zoning and
existing land uses, adding that the area is reflected as low density residential on
the land use plan, and that the C-N zoning district is intended to provide commercial
sites for convenience goods and services in and adjacent to residential areas and is
not addressed by the land use plan due to the restricted (small) size of each
district. He finalized by stating that staff recommends approval of the R-1 portion
of this request, and further that staff has no objections to the proposed C-N zoning
location, as it is near the intersection of two major streets providing good
accessibility to the residential areas to the north, east and west.
Mr. Dresser asked about the remaining A-0 tracts and Mr. Callaway informed him that
staff has received no requests for permanent zoning on that land, but that there is
no problem, and is allowed by ordinance. Mr. Kaiser asked if this request is to be
considered as one request, or if it is two separate requests. Mr. Callaway, replied
that it is one request for 2 tracts of land.
The public hearing was opened. Dan Sears, representative of Area Progress
Corporation came forward to answer any questions, and informed the Commission that
the owner has not established exactly what uses he wants for the remaining A-O land
in that area, therefore he has not submitted a rezoning request to date. He added
that the proposed C-N district would fill a need in a neighborhood.
Chuck Denby, a resident on Winecup came forward and asked exactly what businesses
would be allowed in a C-N district. Mr. Mayo and Mr. Brochu explained the uses
allowed in that district, with Mr. MacGilvray adding that any C-N development would
require additional public hearings to consider not only the site plan, but include
• review and approval of the use being proposed.
Mr. Kaiser stated that he would prefer that these two tracts be considered in

separate motions. Mr. MacGilvray made a motion to approve the request for R-1
zoning. Mrs. Sawtelle seconded the motion which was approved unanimously (6-0).
Mr. Brochu then made a motion to approve the C-N portion of the request; Mr. Dresser
seconded that motion which also carried unanimously (6-0).
AGBNDA ITEM NO. 5: 86-114: A public hearing on the question of
rezoning lots 23 and 24, Block 4, Prairie View Heights subdivision
from C-N Neighborhood Business to R-lA Single Family Residential.
Application is in the name of Deborah Owens.
Mr. Callaway explained the request is to rezone 2 lots on Tarrow Street from C-N to
R-lA. He identified existing area land uses, and informed the Commission that
the entire area is reflected as low density residential on the land use plan. He
commented briefly regarding background events which established the C-N zoning on these (and
other) tracts as being City initiated rezoning following receipt of a petition from area
residents requesting that the City rezone the C-2 area to a residential
classification. He added that staff has no objections to this request as the
requested zoning is in compliance with the land use plan and is compatible with the
zoning and development in the entire Prairie View Heights subdivision. He then
referred to a letter from Mr. Ron Cobb which expresses opposition to this request,
adding that a copy of this letter has already been forwarded to the Legal Department.
Mr. MacGilvray asked Mr. Mayo if the parking easement referred to in Mr. Cobb's
letter is allowed by ordinance, i.e., off-site parking. Mr. Mayo replied that he is
not sure of the wording in the ordinance.
The public hearing was opened. Deborah Owens, applicant, came forward and stated
Ella Johnson, 614 Banks came forward, stating that she does not know anything about
this rezoning, that Deborah is her niece and does not have anything to do with the
ownership of the land; that she and her sisters inherited the land, and since she is
the oldest daughter, she owns all of it. Following questioning, Ms. Johnson said
that she wanted the Commission to approve this request, but Mr. Cobb stepped forward
to say that he believed Ms. Johnson was trying to say that she opposes this request
to rezone. Mr. Cobb then explained who he got the lease from and exactly how it came
about, adding that he is against rezoning lot 23, but that he has no opinion
regarding lot 24, but that he believes rezoning of that lot (24) would allow Ms.
Owens to do what she wanted to do. He added finally that he has an interest on lot
23, and its use will be commercial.
that she sees no problem with the parking easement, but that she did not sign the
lease or the parking easement referred to in Mr. Cobb's letter. Mr. Dresser asked
Ms. Owens if she owns the lots in question and she replied that she does, that she
inherited them in 1981. Discussion followed concerning ownership of the lots,
identification of the executor of the estate and reasons for requesting the rezoning,
which Ms. Owens listed as being to get the house remodelled.
Discussion followed regarding the leases and easements and how they may or may not
work. Mr. Cobb stated that he would release the easement on lot 24.
City Attorney Cathy Locke came forward and asked who had signed the parking easement;
then asked if Ella Johnson is the executrix of the estate when she was informed that
Ms. Johnson had signed the easement. Mr. Cobb replied that he had previously
understood that Ms. Johnson was the executrix, but that he has since found out that
she may not be. Mr. Kaiser said that now this Commission is faced with an applicant
who may not be the owner of the lots, and he asked Mrs. Locke if this Commission can

Regular Agenda
Agenda Item No. 1.3.1 -- Public hearing, discussion and possible action on an ordinance
rezoning 101 Mile Drive from R-1 single Familv to C-1 General Commercial.
The applicant removed this item from the agenda.
Agenda Item No. 13.2 -Public hearing, discussion and possible action on an ordinance
rezoning 111 Rock Prairie Road, located on the Northwest corner of Rock Prairie Road
and Rio Grande, from C-N Neighborhood Commercial to PDD-B Planned Development
District-Business.
Senior Planner Sabine Kuenzel presented this item. She stated that the request is to develop the
site into three medical and other professional office buildings at 5,000 square ft. each. The
existing C-N zoning would permit these uses, but it would limit the size of each business to 2000
square ft. The size restriction does not accommodate the applicant's needs. Due to the fact that
the property adjoins developed single family residential, staff recommended the applicant submit
a PDD-B request so the conceptual plan and uses would be tied to the rezoning. The concept
plan shows the three single story building oriented away from the residential area with a
minimum rear setback of 30 ft. The applicant proposes a 2 ft. planted strip adjacent to an 8 ft.
screened fence to buffer the single family from the office uses. Access will be solely from Rock
Prairie Road with an internal access easement on the western end of the site.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval by a unanimous vote with
conditions.
Staff recommended approval of the rezoning with any conditions that the P&Z or Council may
'~ ~ find reasonable to mitigate any potential negative impacts.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Public hearing and consideration of a rezoning for 1111 Rock Prairie Road, located on the
Northwest corner of Rock Prairie and Rio Grande, from C-N Neighborhood Commercial to PDD-B Planned
Development District -Business. (00-90)
Senior Planner Kucnzel said that the applicant proposes to develop the site into three medical and other professional office
buildings at 5,000 square feet each. The existing C-N zoning would permit these uses, but it would limit the size of each
business to 2000 square feet. This size restriction does not accommodate the applicant's needs. Duc to the fact that the
property adjoins developed single famil}• residential, Staff recommended that the applicant submit aPDD-B request so
that the conceptual plan and uses would be tied to the rezoning. The concept plan shows the three single story• buildings
oriented away from the residential arcs with a minimum rear setback of 30'. The applicant proposes a 2' planted strip
adjacent to an 8' screening fence to buffer the single family from the office uses. Access will be solely from Rock Prairie
Road with an internal access casement on the western end of the site. The subject property was reflected as a commercial
tract in the original approved Master Development Plan (originally called Southwood Valley Section 26) in 1986. Later
that year, the property was rezoned to C-N -the surrounding currently zoned R-4 property remained A-O as a reserve
tract at that time. Since that time, Capistrano Court w•as platted as a single family residential phase of Southwood Farest
in 1995. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning with any conditions that the Planning & Zoning Commission or _
Council may find reasonable to mitigate any potential negative impacts. Staff reports a possibility of embellished --
clevations to the proposed buildings that will include different window treatments to the upper story. Senior Planner
Kucnzcl said that a few people have asked how the PDD works but without opposition. Concerns expressed were mainly
to ensure that the plans for the building on this property would be exactly as stated or platted.
Commissioner Warren asked about the perspective on the drainage for the property.
Senior Planner Kuenzel said that the applicant would have to show compliance with the city's drainage ordinance. She
said that any revisions that the Planning & Zoning Commission made would be presented to Council and whatcr-cr
Council approves would be attached to the ordinance.
Commissioner Floyd asked Staff under the existing zoning, if the applicant built a 2,000 square foot building, what would
the total square footage bc.
Senior Planner Kucnzcl answered that it would depend upon the usage and the layout of the parking. The existing zoning
has 1500 to 2500 square feet per business maximums, but the building sizes can be as much as 10,000 square feet.
Commissioner Kaiser stated that if the Commission recommended approval of the current request the applicant would
need to return to the Planning & Zoning Commission with an additional request to build atwo-story unit.
Senior Planner Kucnzcl said that the applicant could either return with an additional request for approval or the
Commission could recommend approval of a future second story• with provisions.
June I, 2000 Page 11 of IS
Commissioner Mooney asked about thc amount of allotted parking spaces and what a second story would do to thc green
space that caists.
Senior Planner stated that they would havc to require thc additional parking to thc use ratio. Shc pointed out that there is
a 30' buffo on thc concept plan. In either scenario, thc Planning & Zoning Comnssion would havc to recommend
approval.
Commissioner Rifc opened thc public hearing.
Stcvc Mcicr, 5477 Glcn Lakes Drive, Dallas, Texas was present to represent thc owncr, Dr. Bill Privctt. In Phase 1 of
thcir proposal they intend to build a dental practice. The original plan was to build three one story buildings, but did not
submit that as part of thc site plan. We havc appro~+imatcly 75 parking spaces which for thc type of uscs they arc
proposing would be in thc ratio of retail parking and morc than ample for thc proposed development. Mr. Mcicr indicated
that he and thc owncr spoke with a property owncr in thc adjacent neighborhood about thcir concerns and havc agreed to
satisfy thcir concerns. The first issue would be to shield any site lighting. They also agreed to obscure thc glass of thc
roar second story windows. They agreed that there would be no signagc or graphics on thc roar of thc buildings and that
thc materials on thc roar of thc buildings would be consistcnf with thc materials on thc othcr sides. A list of uscs and/or
caclusions from usage was also agreed upon This list consists of all A-P uscs, cacluding business, music, dance or
commercial schools, government offices or government schools, public parking lot for operating vehicles, recycling
collection facilities, veterinarian and abortion clinics. The allowed uscs would be administrative offices, art studios or
galleries, financial institutions, doctors and dentists offices, offices for professional services, photographer studios,
radioJty stations (no tow•cr allowed), real estate offices, travel agency, tourist bureau, or othcr personal service shops.
Commissioner Floyd asked if these agreements arc now part of thc PDD package.
Mr. Mcicr stated that they understand that these provisions havc to be included on thc site plan before approval.
Senior Planner Kuenzcl said that it could be added to thc ordinance. Shc stated that Staff is recommending approval of
thc plan and that any additions by thc Commission will need to be added.
Commissioner Warren questioned conceptual elevations that wcrc mentioned.
Mr. Mcicr prodded thc Commission with a conceptual plan for thc corner building.
Commissioner Kaiser questioned Mr. Mcicr about thc parking plan.
Mr. Mcicr caplaincd that thc ratio used for thc parking was morc than ample for thc buildings and usage planned.
Commissioner Kaiser expressed concern about over developing parking areas and drainage.
Mr. Mcicr caplaincd that he met with thc engineering department and has left ample room in thc plans for a water
detention pond. He stated that thc engineer did not expect any drainage problems. He said that thc parking plans wcrc
maximized on thc advice of staff since thc use of thc othcr buildings arc currently unknown. He stated that the amount of
parking could be reduced if necessary.
Commissioner Floyd asked if thc intent was to havc the entire parking area in place at thc same time thc first initial
building is built.
Mr. Mcicr said that thc parking arcs would not be completed until the remaining two buildings arc developed.
Chairman Rife asked for clarification on the additional two proposed buildings.
Mr. Mcicr caplaincd that those buildings will include thc same materials but will look differently. He proposed three
single story• garden office buildings.
Chairman 12ifc caplaincd that because thc PDD requires morc specificity, thc Commission would like morc details.
P&Z~liizutes Jurze 1, 2000 Page 12 of 15
Mr. Mcicr said they would be flexible in working with Staff on the building plans. He explained that the submitted plat
was a one-story• building but w•as deceiving in it's conceptual form in that it looked to be a two story• building. The upper
windows that arc depicted in the drawing arc not accessible but for natural lighting purposes only.
Commissioncr Warren clarified that the list of exclusions included the other two buildings that arc planned.
Chairman Rife said that if they approve the PDD, the specifications should be included in the planning.
Bill Privctt, 908 Gayle, said that they w•antcd to plan for ample parking while allowing for as little concrete as possible.
He pointed out the green belt arcs on the back sidc of the property and adjaccnt to Rio Grande. He also said that they plan
to plant shrubs in keeping with those already in the arcs.
Chairman Rifc asked Mr. Privctt what was he willing to commit to in regards to the appearance and height of the tw•o
proposed buildings.
Mr. Privctt said that the other buildings would not have the half story• as planned for the first initial building. He also said
that they were not planning on constructing any windows on the roar sidc of the buildings.
Chairman Rifc clarified that all three buildings would be of the same like materials.
Commissioncr Floyd asked for clarification on the windows of the two proposed buildings.
Mr. Mcicr explained that the only objection from the neighbor was a tw•o-story• building with clear glass windows vs
obscure glass on the second floor only.
Commissioncr Warren asked Mr. Mcicr asked if they would consider landscaping between the sidewalk and the parking
area.
Mr. Mcicr said that Staff informed them that the landscape ordinance still applies.
Benito Flores-Meath, 901 Val Vcrdc said that he was concerned about the driveways to the development and the school
crossing at the subject corner. He stated that the traffic volume was very high and asked that the driveways be planned as
far from the corner as possible.
Mr. Mcicr addressed the curb cut issue and said that in the predevclopmcnt meeting it was decided that the corner set-
back plan meets the city standards and the only other possible mean of access is shared with the existing nursing home
adjaccnt to the subject site. Mr. Mcicr also pointed out that there arc sidewalks on both sides of the street as w•cll as a
guarded school crossing.
Chairman Rife closed the public hearing.
Commissioncr Mooney motioned for approval with the specifications stated in the record and agreed upon by both

Graduate Engineer Tondre presented the Staff report. He stated that the proposed Master Prelinunary
Plat shows a 151 lot rural subdivision to be constructed in three phases. The first of the phases, 62 lots,
will have sole access to Gandy Road to the south. Each of the next two phases will provide an
additional access point through the Quail Run Subdivision to Quail Run Street and Walnut Drive to the
