GENERALLY LOCATED AT WEST OF WOODSON DRIVE, SOUTH HARDWOOD ROAD, AND NORTH OF BEDFORD ROAD.
WESS, STAFF PRESENTATION PLEASE.
>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, COMMISSION MEMBERS AND BEAR WITH ME, WE'RE HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF A BATTERY ISSUE HERE, SO I THOUGHT I COULD DO THIS WITH A MOUSE.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? THANK YOU FOR WIRELESS.
THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED OFF OF WOODSON DRIVE, NORTH OF BEDFORD, OR BETWEEN BEDFORD AND HARDWOOD ROAD.
I'M GOING TO CONTINUE TO MESS THIS UP TONIGHT, SO BEAR WITH ME.
THE PLAT IS FOR NINE SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS.
THE ZONING WAS APPROVED AND PRELIMINARY PLAT WAS APPROVED IN 2018, AND THE FINAL PLAT IS SUBMITTED.
CONSTRUCTION PLATS HAVE BEEN APPROVED AND EVERYTHING MEETS IN CONFORMS WITH THE ZONING AND THE PRELIMINARY PLAT THAT WAS APPROVED.
AS STATED, IT WAS ORIGINALLY TWO LOTS SUBDIVIDED INTO NINE NOW.
THE ACCESS WATER, SEWER ARE ALL PROVIDED FROM WOODSON DRIVE, AND PLAT DOES MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE AND TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE.
WE DID DO A NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS.
WE NOTIFIED EVERYONE WITHIN THE ORIGINAL SUBDIVISION WITHIN 200 FEET, AS REQUIRED BY STATE LAW, AND WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSES BACK OR IN FAVOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
TONIGHT, YOU'LL CONDUCT YOUR PUBLIC HEARING, AND THEN TAKE ACTION, APPROVE OR DENY.
I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.
[00:05:04]
>> I'M CONFUSED. WE ARE GOING TO DO A PUBLIC HEARING ON A PLAT. IS THAT RIGHT?
>> YEAH, THE REASON YOU DO A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS, IT'S A RESIDENTIAL REPLAT, SO STATE LAW REQUIRES A RESIDENTIAL REPLAT GO THROUGH A PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS.
>> OKAY. THANK YOU. IT'S A REPLAT.
BECAUSE IT JUST THROWING ME OFF THERE FIRST THING.
I'M NOW GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
[NOISE] IS THERE ANYBODY WHO WISHES TO COME FORWARD AND COMMENT ON THIS PLAT? YOU'RE NOW REQUIRED JUST SO YOU KNOW.
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'M NOT ENCOURAGING I'M JUST SAYING, I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING.
>> WE NEED YOUR NAME, YOUR HOME ADDRESS, AND PLEASE ADDRESS THE COMMISSION. THANK YOU SIR.
>> BILL [INAUDIBLE] I LIVE IN 2505 WOODSON DRIVE.
RIGHT NEXT DOOR, THERE IS A PROPERTY IT'S GOING TO BE DEVELOPED.
I JUST HOPE TO TAKE AND PUT A NICE BIG EIGHT FOOT FENCE BETWEEN ME AND THAT PROPERTY.
>> SEEING NOBODY ELSE, I'M GOING TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING.
[NOISE] COMMISSIONERS DO HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR CONCERNS? IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE.
DID YOU HAVE A COMMENT? GO AHEAD.
>> IT'S FOR CITY. ALL WE GOT WAS THE PLATS, AND YOU SAID THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS ARE APPROVED.
GENERALLY, THERE'S A LANDSCAPE PLAN WITH FENCING TYPE OF STUFF.
IS THERE AN EIGHT-FOOT FENCE BETWEEN?
>> FENCING AND LANDSCAPING WILL NOT BE PART OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE PLANS, SO THAT'S AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PROPERTY OWNER AND ADJACENT NEIGHBORS.
THE CITY WOULD HAVE NO ENFORCEMENT IN THAT.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS FROM COMMISSIONERS? IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
>> SURE. I KNOW WE APPROVE CASE PCFP2018500011 WITH COURT ADMISSION [INAUDIBLE]

(PZ-RP-2022-500009)]
WELL, THIRD ON THE AGENDA, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A FINAL PLAT OF LOT 1 AND 2 BLOCK 1 OF THE FALZALBHAI.FORGIVE ME IF I'VE MISPRONOUNCED THAT.
FALZALBHAI EDITION BEING A REPLAT OF PART OF 35A OF THE JR MURPHY EDITION CONSISTING OF 0.435 ACRES, GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF MURPHY DRIVE AND BEDFORD ROAD INTERSECTION, COMMONLY KNOWN AS 2513 BEDFORD ROAD IN THE CITY OF BEDFORD.
WESS, CITY PRESENTATION, START PRESENTATION.
>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, COMMISSION MEMBERS.
IF YOU'LL RECALL BACK TOWARD THE LATTER PART OF LAST YEAR, YOU RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF A ZONING CASE AND CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THAT ZONING CASE ON THIS PROPERTY FROM R15 TO R9.
THE APPLICANTS NOW COMING IN AND REPLATING THE PROPERTY TO MEET THAT NEW ZONING DESIGNATION.
AS ALREADY STATED, JUST AS A POINT OF CLARIFICATION, PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT THE CORNER OF BEDFORD AND MURPHY DRIVE.
PLAT DOES SHOW THAT THE TWO LOTS, ROUGHLY A LITTLE OVER 9,000 SQUARE FOOT EACH.
IT'S AGAIN, ONE LOT THAT'S BEING REPLATED IT INTO TWO LOTS, SO IT WILL BE ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING FOR TWO SINGLE-FAMILY PURPOSES.
ACCESS WATER AND SEWER IS ALL OFF ON MURPHY DRIVE.
THAT'S AN IMPORTANT NOTE TO MAKE BECAUSE THAT WAS CONCERNED BOTH THAT P&Z AND CITY COUNCIL ABOUT WHERE ACCESS WOULD BE FROM THESE LOTS.
SUBDIVISION DOES REQUIRE THAT THEY COME OFF OF MURPHY DRIVE.
PLAT MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE AND TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, AND STAFF CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
>> COMMISSIONERS HAVE QUESTIONS ON STAFF?
>> [OVERLAPPING] I DON'T SEE ACCESS OFF OF MURPHY [INAUDIBLE].
>> YOU WON'T ACTUALLY SEE ACCESS.
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE FINE PRINT, IT DOES STATE THERE IN THE TOP LEFT-HAND CORNER UNDER THE NOTES THAT ALL ACCESS WILL BE OFF OF MURPHY, SO THAT NOTE HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE PLAT.
>> I DON'T LIKE THIS BUTTON. [LAUGHTER]
>> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER QUIGLEY. ANYBODY ELSE? [BACKGROUND] NOBODY HAS ANYTHING?
[00:10:02]
[LAUGHTER] I'LL JUST YELL.[NOISE] IS THERE ANYBODY HERE TONIGHT THAT WOULD LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK REGARDING THIS RE-PLAT? FIVE, 4, 3, 2, 1.
I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
[NOISE] COMMISSIONERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, OR ISSUES REGARDING THE PLAN? IF NOT, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
>> I MOVE WE APPROVE PZRP 2022-50009.
>> THANK YOU, VICE CHAIRMAN DAVIS TO HAVE A SECOND.
>> I SAW COMMISSIONER ANDERSON'S HAND GO UP FIRST, SO THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER ANDERSON.
CAN HAVE A ROLL CALL VOTE, PLEASE.
>> ALL RIGHT. THE FINAL PLAN IS APPROVED.
GOOD LUCK IF THE APPLICANT IS HERE.
MOVING RIGHT ALONG OUR FOURTH ITEM ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT [OVERLAPPING]
>> I'M SORRY, COMMISSIONER. WHAT HAPPENED?
>> MAYBE WE MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER FIVE BEFORE FOUR BECAUSE FIVE IS THE ZONING CHANGE [OVERLAPPING]
BECAUSE I HAD THAT QUESTION FOR STAFF AND I WAS GOING TO SAY, ARE WE DOING THIS IN THE RIGHT ORDER? IT'S A VALID QUESTION BECAUSE THIS COMES UP IN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING, WHICH IS MY DAILY DAY JOB.
>> TO BE HONEST AND STAFFING ME, DELIBERATE AMONGST MYSELF AS TO [LAUGHTER] WHAT ORDER TO PUT THIS ONE IN BECAUSE TECHNICALLY YOU'RE APPROVING A SITE PLAN THAT WOULD NOT MEET THE SETBACK SO YOU'VE GOT TO REMOVE THE SETBACK OFF THE PLAN FIRST, SO THE SITE PLAN IS IN CONFORMANCE. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
>> I'M SEEING SOME CONFUSED LOOKS AND KNOW IT'S NOT.
>> TALK TO IT REAL QUICK. I BELIEVE YOU IF YOU'RE TELLING ME.
>> NO, IT'S ALL RIGHT. WE CAN JUMP INTO IT.
>> I'D APPROVE A PLATFORM FOR PIECE OF LAND THAT HAD BEEN APPROVED FOR THE USE.
>> UNDERSTANDING NOW KEEP IN MIND USE AND PLANNING ARE TWO SEPARATE THINGS AND THEY DON'T REALLY GO HAND IN HAND BUT TO EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE AND HAVE A MOUSE HERE.
THE WHOLE PURPOSE AND THE RE-PLOT IS THAT ON THIS PROPERTY LINE ON THE EAST SIDE, THERE IS, AS IT SAYS TODAY, A 20-FOOT SETBACK.
THE SITE PLAN THAT'S BEING PROPOSED AS A PART OF THE SUP DOES NOT HAVE THAT SETBACK AND THEY'RE GOING FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE PROPERTY LINE.
IF YOU APPROVED THE SITE PLAN, YOU WOULD APPROVE A SITE PLAN THAT WOULD BE VIOLATING THE PLAN.
THAT'S WHY STAFF I.E ME, DECIDED [LAUGHTER] WE'LL DO THE PLAT FIRST.
[OVERLAPPING] I ALSO HAVE NO CONCERNS RUNNING THE TWO TOGETHER AS WELL, IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT, IT'S WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO.
>> NOW, I WANT TO SEPARATE VOTES ON THE ITEMS JUST TO FOLLOW THROUGH AND WE'LL JUST KEEP THE SEQUENCE.
>> NO, THAT'S FINE. THANK YOU.
>> I RESPECT THE CONCERN AND ALL THAT, BUT PLATS ARE PLAT.
WE'VE APPROVED STUFF WITHOUT SEEING THE PLAT BEFORE AND VICE VERSA.
TWO DIFFERENT TRACKS AND THAT'S WHERE I WENT LANDED TO TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
GREAT. YEAH. WE'RE GOING TO STAY IN ORDER.
[4. Conduct a public hearing and consider approval of a final plat of Lot 1R, Block 1 of the Harwood 121 Addition, being a replat of Lot 1, Block 1 of the Harwood 121 Addition consisting of 1.01 acres generally located at the northeast corner of Harwood Road and State Highway 121 Frontage Road, commonly known as 3501 Harwood Road in the City of Bedford. (PZ-RP-2022-50010)]
ITEM NUMBER FOUR ON THE AGENDA OUR THIRD ITEM 9 DON'T CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A FINAL PLAT OF LOT 1 OR BLOCK 1 OF THE HARDWOOD 121 ADDITION, BEING A REPLANT OF LOT BLOCK 1 OF THE HEARTWOOD 121 ADDITION CONSISTING OF 1.01 ACRES, GENERALLY LOCATED IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF HARWOOD ROAD AND STATE HIGHWAY 121, FRONTAGE ROAD.COMMONLY KNOWN AS 3501 HARWOOD ROAD, IN THE CITY OF BENFORD WEST YOUR PRESENTATION, PLEASE [OVERLAPPING].
>> I'LL MAKE MY COMMENTS SHORT SINCE I REALLY JUST ALREADY SPILLED MY PRESENTATION.
BUT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT HARWOOD ROAD IN 121.
IT IS SUBJECT TO THE NEXT ITEM, THE SUP.
BUT PRIOR TO THE SUP BEING CONSIDERED, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE PLOT WAS TAKEN CARE OF.
THE ONLY PURPOSE AND THE ONLY REASON THIS REFLEX COMING FORWARD IS TO REMOVE THE PROPERTY LINE OR THE SETBACK FOR ON THE EAST SIDE WHICH WAS 20 FEET.
ACCESS WATER, SEWER FRONTAGE IS ALL STAYING THE SAME.
PLAT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SUBDIVISION AND TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE.
THIS IS NOT A RESIDENTIAL RE-PLAT, SO IT DOES NOT REQUIRE THE PUBLIC NOTICE, BUT IT DOES STILL REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING AT THE P&Z.
SO I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I CAN ANSWER. [NOISE].
>> YEAH, MY ANSWER WAS IN OUR HARWOOD CORRIDOR AND THAT'S WHY WE'VE DONE REPUBLIC [LAUGHTER] [INAUDIBLE].
>> OKAY. COMMISSIONERS JEFF, DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OF STAFF?
[00:15:02]
I'M GOING TO OPEN IT. [NOISE] WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND DISCUSS THE REPLANT? IN CASE ANY OF YOU IS CONFUSED, IS THE OLD CHEVRON STATION OVER THERE ON THE HARWOOD IN 121.
IT'S EMPTY LOT ON THE CORNER NOW, BUT THAT'S WHAT WAS THERE BEFORE AND NEW AND IMPROVED COMING APPARENTLY.
OKAY. I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
[NOISE] COMMISSIONERS, ANY QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, ISSUES? OKAY, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
>> MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE WE APPROVE A PZRP2022-50010 FOR ONE BLOCK, ONE HARWOOD 121 ADDITION.
>> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. I'M GOING TO GIVE THAT TO COMMISSIONER MCMILLAN BECAUSE SHE'S THE ONLY ONE [LAUGHTER] WHO HASN'T GOTTEN ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT.
>> THANK YOU. THE MOTION IS APPROVED AND THE FINAL PLAN IS APPROVED.
[NOISE] THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ITEM NUMBER 5.
[5. Conduct a public hearing and consider making a recommendation regarding a rezoning on property legally described as Lot 1, Block 1, Harwood 121 Addition, generally located at the northeast corner of Harwood Road and State Highway 121, more commonly known as 3501 Harwood Road, from Heavy Commercial within the Master Highway Corridor Overlay (H/MHC) to Heavy Commercial within the Master Highway Corridor Overlay/Specific Use Permit/Full-Service Gasoline Service Station with Convenience Store. (PZ-SUP-2022-500013)]
I DIDN'T ITEM NUMBER 5 ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING, AND CONSIDER MAKING A RECOMMENDATION REGARDING A REZONING ON PROPERTY LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS LOT 1 BLOCK 1, HARWOOD 121 ADDITION, GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF HARWOOD ROAD AND STATE HIGHWAY 121, MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS 3501 HARWOOD ROAD FROM HEAVY COMMERCIAL WITHIN THE MASTER HIGHWAY QUARTER OVERLAY.TOO HEAVY COMMERCIAL WITHIN THE MASTER HIGHWAY QUARTER OVERLAY, SPECIFIC USE PERMIT, FULL-SERVICE GASOLINE AND SERVICE STATION WITH CONVENIENCE STORE.
AS WEST STEP PRESENTATION, PLEASE. [NOISE].
>> THANK YOU MR. CHAIR [OVERLAPPING].
>> JUST GAVEL HAPPY, IT'S OKAY.
>> IT'S MUSCLE MEMORY [LAUGHTER].
>> IF THIS PROBABLY LOOKS FAMILIAR TO YOU, IT'S BECAUSE WE JUST TALKED ABOUT IT, AGAIN, LOCATED 121 AND HARWOOD ROAD.
AS THE CHAIRMAN SAID, IT IS THE FORMER CHEVRON SITE THAT HAS BEEN DEMOLISHED FOR THE MOST PART.
I THINK THERE MAY BE SOME OUTBUILDINGS THAT ARE STILL THERE, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, THE SITE HAS BEEN CLEARED.
PURPOSE IN THIS IS REDEVELOPMENT OF THE EXISTING CONVENIENCE STORE AND FULL-SERVICE GAS STATION.
THEY ARE BUILDING A NEW SITE, 2800 SQUARE FOOT CONVENIENCE STORE WITH EIGHT FUEL PUMPS, AGAIN, LOCATED WITHIN THE MASTER HIGHWAY CORRIDOR OVERLAY.
COUPLE OF POINTS ABOUT THE SITE JUST FROM AN ACCESS STANDPOINT.
CURRENTLY, THEY HAVE TWO ACCESS POINTS OFF OF HARWOOD ROAD.
THEY'RE CONVINCING THAT DOWN TO ONE AND THEN ACCESS ON SAY HARWOOD121 IS REMAINING THE SAME.
THE OVERALL BUILDING IS GOING TO BE BACK TOWARD THE EAST, WHICH IS ENCOMPASSING THAT 20-FOOT SETBACK THAT YOU JUST REMOVED FROM THE PLOT.
THEN THE PUMPS ARE BEING LOCATED THERE IN THE CENTER OF THE PROPERTY.
JUST GIVE YOU AN IDEA, THIS IS AGAIN, JUST SURROUNDING PROPERTY IN THE SITE.
YOU CAN SEE THE MAJORITY OF IT IS CLEARED CURRENTLY.
LET ME GO BACK REAL QUICK AND JUST HIT SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SINCE IT IS IN THE MASTER HIGHWAY CORRIDOR, I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW IT'S MEANING THAT, IT'S MEETING ALL THE BUILDING FACADE REQUIREMENTS.
IT'S MEETING LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS.
THEY ARE PROVIDING LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING ALONG THE PERIMETER OF THE SITE.
SO LONG HARWOOD AND FRONTAGE ROAD OF 121.
LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE AM I MISSING HERE? THEY ARE MEETING THEIR OFF-STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS, PROVIDING A TOTAL OF 15 SPACES WHERE ONLY EIGHT ARE REQUIRED.
THEN SIGNAGE TYPICALLY ISN'T APPROVED.
THEY'VE GIVEN US THE DETAILS ON THEIR SIGNAGE ALREADY.
THEY ARE GOING TO REMOVE THE EXISTING PYLON SIGN AND BUILD A NEW ONE THAT WILL MEET THE SUN REQUIREMENTS, BEING NO MORE THAN 65 FEET IN HEIGHT.
THEN THEY ARE GOING TO PUT UP A MONUMENT SIGN ON THE HARWOOD ROADSIDE.
[NOISE] STAFF ADVERTISE FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING TONIGHT, NOTIFY PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200 FEET POSTED A SON ON THE PROPERTY AND AT THIS TIME, WE'VE HAD NO RESPONSE IN FAVOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST.
AS YOU KNOW, SUP'S YOUR SUBJECT.
WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT TONIGHT IS, TO DETERMINE THAT THE USE IS COMPATIBLE WITH SURROUNDING AREA.
SINCE THE CONVENIENCE STORE THAT'S THERE WAS DEVELOPED BACK IN THE [OVERLAPPING] '83. THANK YOU.
I'M GLAD YOU ALL WRITTEN ON STAFF REPORT, BACK IN 1983, IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE SIDE IS USED AS CONVENIENCE STORE AND GAS STATION SALES IS COMPATIBLE WITH SURROUNDING AREA.
IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THERE'S CONDITIONS THAT NEED TO BE APPLIED,
[00:20:02]
YOU DO HAVE THAT OPTION TO ENSURE THAT COMPATIBILITY.BUT STAFF DOESN'T SEE ANY NEED FOR CONDITIONS ON THIS SITE.
TONIGHT YOU'LL TAKE YOUR PUBLIC HEARING, YOU'LL TAKE COMMENT AND RECOMMEND, APPROVE.
APPROVAL CONDITIONS OR DENY THIS WILL GO BEFORE CITY COUNCIL ON APRIL THE 12TH.
>> ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF, COMMISSIONERS?
>> DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PUMPS WERE THERE PREVIOUSLY?
>> I DO KNOW THAT THERE WERE [OVERLAPPING].
>> NO YEAH, EIGHT TO SIDE WITH TWO SIDES [INAUDIBLE].
>> I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THERE WERE 4-10,000 GALLON TANKS ON THAT SITE.
>> THE REASON I KNOW THAT WAS MY GAS STATION AT CHEVRON IN [LAUGHTER].
>> NOW YOU GET A NEW ONE. [LAUGHTER].
>> WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DRUGS, BUT YEAH, I LIKE CHEVRON GAS BUT THE SIDE AND THEN JUST GETTING DINGY AND REALIZING THERE'S 40 YEARS OLD.
THE WAY THIS IS GOING TO BE A FRESHEN UP.
>> THAT'S SPECIFICALLY TO YOU, BUT TO MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS, I DID A LITTLE BIT OF HOMEWORK AND TALK TO TC EQ ABOUT THIS SITE AND BECAUSE ON THEIR SITE IT DOESN'T SAY THAT THE TANKS A TOTALLY BEEN REMOVED.
THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF SOIL SAMPLES AND THE DOCUMENTATION FOR AFTER-TAX HAD BEEN REMOVED BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED THAT TO 1983 TANKS WERE GOING TO STAY THERE.
ALSO IN THE FACT THAT SINCE THOSE TANKS ARE GONE AND THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF CLEANING AND LOOKING AT THE DIRT.
WE'RE NOT OBLIGATED TO MAKE IT ANOTHER GAS STATION JUST BECAUSE IT WAS, AND I JUST FEEL THAT'S WHY I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE TANKS FOR WHERE WE'RE BEING LED TO WELL, IT NEEDS TO BE A GAS STATION BECAUSE IT ALREADY IS.
BUT SINCE THIS IS NEW SUP WITH NEW CONSTRUCTION, JUST THOUGHT MAYBE YOU'D BE INTERESTED TO KNOW THAT THEY HAVEN'T FINISHED THAT.
IT'S ANOTHER 30 TO 60 DAYS BEFORE THE SOIL TESTING COMES OUT.
BUT THERE APPARENTLY WASN'T ANY REMEDIATION WORK EVER DONE ON THE SITE SINCE '83.
>> ALL RIGHT. THAT SEEMED LIKE AN APPROPRIATE USE TO ME.
>> GAS STATIONS, CONVENIENT STORES ARE REPLACED BY GAS STATION CONVENIENCE STORE.
>> NO I WASN'T RIGHT NOW YOU'RE RIGHT.
>> DID YOU HAVE AN IDEA FOR SOMETHING ELSE OR THEN? [LAUGHTER].
>> [OVERLAPPING] IN ALL HONESTY, WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS, IT'S LIKE IF THE OLD TANKS ARE STILL THERE, THEN ARE WE BEING BACKDOORED INTO THE SIMILAR USE? THAT'S WHY I DID SO THAT I COULD MENTION TO YOU THAT IT'S A CLEAN SITE THAT COULD BE USED FOR ANYTHING. IS IT?
>> NO. I AGREE THAT THIS IS COMPATIBLE USE.
IT WAS THERE BEFORE, LIKE CHAIRMAN CARLSON, I LIVE IN THE AREA AND A LOT OF TIMES WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS, WE LOOK TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT OVER SATURATING.
THAT WE'RE PROVIDING USES THAT ARE NEEDED FOR THE COMMUNITY, AND HONESTLY, THIS IS A NEED ON THAT SIDE OF THE FREEWAY, WE HAVE THE NEW 7-11 THAT CAME UP ON THE OTHER SIDE, BUT THERE IS A VOID IN THIS AREA.
>> ABSOLUTELY. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE NEW SUBDIVISION THERE ON CHURCH PROPERTY PRETTY SOON.
>> YEAH. NO. I AGREE BECAUSE I'M THINKING OF THE GAS STATIONS AND NONE OF THEM WERE VERY REALLY ACCESSIBLE.
>> [OVERLAPPING] YEAH, YOU HAVE TO DRIVE FAR.
THE TAKE ISSUE I AGREE WITH, I HOPEFULLY THEY'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING NEW TANKS IN.
>> YEAH, THERE WILL [INAUDIBLE]
>> OKAY. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, I'M GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
IF THE APPLICANT WOULD LIKE TO COME FORWARD, PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME, YOUR HOME ADDRESS, AND JUST ADDRESS COMMENTS TO THE COMMISSION.
TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT. [OVERLAPPING].
>> SURE. JARED WESTMORELAND, 708 BLALOCK DALLAS, 75203.
JUST TO ANSWER SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS.
YES, ALL THE OLD TANKS WHICH WERE SINGLE-WALL METAL TANKS FROM THE EARLY 80S ARE BEING REMOVED.
THERE WILL BE 225,000 GALLON DOUBLE WALL FIBERGLASS TANKS GOING IN.
THE REMEDIATION IS IN THE PROCESS AT THIS MOMENT.
ANY CONTAMINATION, IT IS A RESPONSIBILITY OF OUR TENANT WHO IS GETTY OIL, WHO'S BASED OUT OF NEW YORK TO CLEAR AND REMEDIATE ALL ISSUES IN THAT GROUND.
IT WILL BE FULLY COMPLIED WITH.
THAT WAS A REQUIREMENT OF MURPHY WHO IS A FORTUNE 250 ON THE LUSK OF NEW YORK.
EIGHT PUMPS WILL BE IN PLACE ON THIS SITE WHICH HAS 16 FUELING STATIONS.
>> ASSUMING NO ISSUES WITH TANKS FROM NEAR A CONSTRUCTION, WHEN ARE YOU FORESEEING OPENING?
>> WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF OBVIOUSLY GOING THROUGH THE SUP NOW ONCE THE SUP IS APPROVED.
[00:25:03]
>> I SHOULD SAY ASSUMING APPROVAL [OVERLAPPING]
>> YES, ASSUMING APPROVAL AT COUNCIL WITH THE SUP, WE WILL IMMEDIATELY RELEASE OUR BUILDINGS CIVIL DOCUMENTS WHICH WILL GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AND WE ARE HOPING TO OPEN BY THE END OF THE YEAR.
>> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? THANK YOU, MR. WESTMORELAND I APPRECIATE IT.
IF ANYBODY ELSE WOULD LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK REGARDING THE APPLICATION, 5, 4, [LAUGHTER] 2, 1.
I'M GOING TO CLOSE VOTE AGAIN.
COMMISSIONERS, ANY COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, OR CONCERNS, COMMISSIONER QUIGLEY?
>> NO. I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO ASK FOR A MOTION.
>> NO. I WAS ASKING FOR THIS DISCUSSION BECAUSE THERE USUALLY IS.
[LAUGHTER] ALL RIGHT, COMMISSIONER QUIGLEY, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION [LAUGHTER].
>> [LAUGHTER] ALL RIGHTY. I MOVE THAT WITH CASE PZSQP-2022-500013 FOR THE LOT 1 BLOCK 1, HARVARD 121 EDITION.
>> I'M GOING TO SECOND THIS ONE.
[LAUGHTER] WE ALL GET MENTIONED IN THIS.
ANDREA CAROL WILL CALL VOTE, PLEASE.
>> LAST BUT NOT LEAST, COMMISSIONER HENDERSON.
>> ALL RIGHT. THE MOTION IS APPROVED [NOISE] AND MR. ROSS, ONE JUST REMINDER WE ARE SIMPLY RECOMMENDING BODY.
THIS HAS TO GO TO COUNCIL FOR FINAL APPROVAL, BUT THE COMMISSION RECOMMENDS IT SO GOOD LUCK.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OUR LAST ITEM TONIGHT UNLESS YOU'RE A MEMBER OF THE ZBA,
[6. Conduct a public hearing and consider making a recommendation regarding a text amendment to the Chapter 6.4.A of the Zoning Ordinance entitled “Establishment of Board” specifically related to the membership requirements of the Zoning Board of Adjustment. (PZ-ZONING AMEND-2022-50001)]

CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER MAKING A RECOMMENDATION REGARDING A TEXT AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 6.4.
A OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE ENTITLED ESTABLISHMENT OF BOARD.
SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO THE MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS OF THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT.
PZ-ZONING AMEND-2022-50001, WEST STEP PRESENTATION, PLEASE.
>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. AS YOU ALL PROBABLY REMEMBER, I'D SAY PRIOR OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR, YOU RECOMMENDED AND COUNCIL APPROVED A TEXT AMENDMENT TO THIS SAME SECTION THAT WOULD ALLOW BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION MEMBERS TO SERVE AS ALTERNATES TO THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT.
SINCE THAT TIME, THERE'S BEEN A CONVERSATION COUNSELING STAFF LEVEL ABOUT REDUCING THE NUMBER OF BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS FOR AN EFFICIENCY STANDPOINT.
IT WAS DECIDED THAT [INAUDIBLE] ENTERING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT THERE MEMBERSHIP WOULD BE COMBINED.
THEREFORE, WE'RE HERE TONIGHT AMENDING THE SAME ORDINATES THAT WE DID A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO TO REMOVE THE LANGUAGE OF BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION AND CLARIFY THE DEFINITION OR THE MEMBERSHIP OF ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE DID A PUBLIC NOTICE IN THE NEWSPAPERS REQUIRED AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
>> FIRST OF ALL, HE GET THREE CHANCES AND NOW YOU USED UP NUMBER TWO.
>> MIKESON WAS LOOKED AT IT, IT SEEMED FINE.
I'M JUST THE OVERLAP BETWEEN ZBA AND BUILDINGS AND STANDARDS DOESN'T SEEM COMING ONES ON THE ZONING PLANNING SIDE, ONE'S ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION SIDE.
BUT I UNDERSTAND THEY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF MEETINGS MAINTAINING MEMBERSHIP, IT'S PAIN SO MAYBE THIS WOULD BE EFFICIENT.
>> YEAH, A LOT OF CITIES DO IT THIS WAY.
THIS ISN'T THAT UNCOMMON OF PROCEDURE.
AGAIN, JUST TO REDUCE BECAUSE LIKE YOU SAID, NEITHER OF THESE BOARDS, THEY ONLY MEET AS NEEDED.
>> ZBA HAS MET TWICE SINCE I'VE BEEN ON THE COMMISSION ACTIVITY.
>> YEAH, AND FUNNY ENOUGH THEY'VE MET TWICE SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN MONTHS, SO THERE YOU GO.
[LAUGHTER] THEY JUST HELPED ME TO MEET THEM.
>> I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY I WAS A CHAIRMAN OF ZBA AND I WAS A VOLUNTEER ON THERE FOR FIVE YEARS.
IN FIVE YEARS WE MET EIGHT TIMES, I BELIEVE.
>> I THINK I'M THINKING ABOUT ORN INTERACTION BECAUSE WE HAD ONE[OVERLAPPING].
>> ONE CASE WEIGH OVER A HARDWOOD THAT HAD TO GO TO ZBA AND COME BACK AND THAT IS THE ONLY TIME ZBA HAS BEEN PERCEIVED ON THE COMMISSION.
I THINK THERE WAS ONE THAT [OVERLAPPING].
>> THERE WERE TIMES WHERE YOU WOULD GO FOR SIX MONTHS AND NOTHING.
WHEN THEY DO MEET, IT'S USUALLY BECAUSE SOMEBODY HAS DONE SOMETHING WRONG AND THEY'RE BEGGING FOR FORGIVENESS.
YOU GOT TO ARMOR UP AND YOU GO TO ZBA [OVERLAPPING].
[00:30:02]
>> WELL, ZBA IS VERY DIFFERENT.
IT'S MANDATED BY THE STATE OF TEXAS.
DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH CITY COUNCIL.
THERE'S FOUR AREAS THAT YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER, FOUR OR FIVE?
>> FOUR. WHICH YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER BEFORE YOU CAN GRANT ANY KIND OF A WAIVER.
SOME INTERESTING CASES, I'LL JUST LEAVE IT THERE. [LAUGHTER]
>> I APOLOGIZE I IMPLIED IN ANY SENSE THAT ZBA IS AN ACTIVIST IS JUST [OVERLAPPING].
>> NO. BOTH ARE NOT VERY ACTIVE.
>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF, COMMISSIONER AMARIE, COMMISSIONER MILLAN?
>> THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING JUST A REMINDER.
>> OKAY. I'M GOING TO OPEN IT HERE AND SAY IT ONE TIME.
>> I'M GOING TO OPEN PUBLIC HEARING. ANYBODY WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND DISCUSS THIS.

>> OKAY. WELL, 5,4,3, [LAUGHTER] 2,1, PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED.
COMMISSIONERS, ANY QUESTIONS, ISSUES, CONCERNS ON THE LANGUAGE OR ANY [OVERLAPPING].
I'VE SEEN THIS IN SOME OTHER CITIES AND I SEE IT HERE.
WHAT WAS THE SAVINGS CLAUSE IN PROVIDING A PENALTY FOR THIS KIND OF THING? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
>> WHAT PENALTIES [OVERLAPPING].
>> IT HAS BEEN SCRATCHED OUT HERE.
BUT IT WAS IN THE ORDINANCE BEFORE.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? OR WHAT WAS THAT? I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT JUST NEEDS TO COME OUT OF THERE.
>> [OVERLAPPING] YEAH. I THINK IT WAS JUST A CLEANUP. I DON'T KNOW.
>> ACTUALLY, THAT'S THE MAN I WOULD HAVE.
>> [INAUDIBLE] THAT'S FOR A PENALTY FOR SOMEONE'S THAT'S VIOLATING WHAT I CONSIDER AN OPERATIVE ZONING OR SUBDIVISION REGULATION, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT IN THERE.
IT DOESN'T APPLY TO MEMBERS OF THE BODY.
IT JUST WENT ORDINANCE THEN [OVERLAPPING] AND IT JUST NEEDS TO BE OUT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? WELL THEN I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION REGARDING OUR TEXT AMENDMENT.
COMMISSIONER QUIGLEY, YOU RUN ZBA.
COMMISSIONER MILLAN I'M SORRY.
>> I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE CHANGES TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE UNDER PZ ZONING AMENDMENT 2022-50001.
>> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER MCMILLAN. DO I HAVE A SECOND?
>> I'M GOING TO LET COMMISSIONER QUIGLEY ON THAT BECAUSE HE'S A FORMER MEMBER OF THE ZBA [LAUGHTER].
BUT I APPRECIATE THE ENTHUSIASM BY MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS ON MOTIONS AND SECOND TONIGHT.
ANDREA CAROL CALL VOTE PLEASE.
>> ALL RIGHT. THE MOTION IS APPROVED AND THE AMENDMENT IS APPROVED.
NOW IT'LL JUST BE FORWARDED TO THE COUNCIL AND THEY'LL TAKE IT FROM THERE.
>> BEFORE WE DO THAT, I JUST WANT TO SAY I'M VERY HAPPY TO SEE COMMISSIONER HENDERSON BACK, AND I NOTED EARLIER THAT HE LOOKS MUCH MORE VITAL AND VIGOROUS THAN BEFORE, SO HE IS ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY AND THAT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING.
IT'S JUST GOOD TO SEE EVERYBODY AGAIN.
I KNOW I MISSED A COUPLE YEARS STARTING OUT WEIRD, BUT HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET BACK IN THE GROOVE OR WE'RE ALL GOING TO GET FIRED BECAUSE WE HAVE TO APPLY NEXT MONTH AND WE'LL SEE HOW THIS GOES.
WE'LL SEE WHAT THE COUNCIL THINKS. NO OTHER BUSINESS ALTHOUGH I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
>> ANYBODY OPPOSED? WE ARE ADJOURNED.
EVERYBODY HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.
