[1. Continue a public hearing and consider making a recommendation to the City Council regarding a site plan application for Lot 2A1, Block 1 Bedford-Arlington Road LTD SUB and on Lot A1, Block 1 Dallas Federal Addition. The 2-acre site is located on the northwest corner of Airport Freeway and Central Drive and is commonly known as 1937 Airport Freeway and 1851 Central Drive. (PUD-23-7)]

OUR FIRST ITEM WAS TABLED FROM THE MEETING OF THE 16TH.

CONTINUE A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL REGARDING A SITE PLAN APPLICATION FOR LOT 2A1 BLOCK 1 BEDFORD ARLINGTON ROAD SUB ON LOT A1 BLOCK 1 DALLAS FEDERAL ADDITION.

THIS IS CASE PUD-23-7.

STAFF REPORT.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. COMMISSION MEMBERS, I'LL BE BRIEF ON THIS PRESENTATION AND JUST REALLY JUMP TO THE SITE PLAN.

AS YOU STATED, THIS WAS TABLED AT OUR NOVEMBER 16TH MEETING FOR THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE APPLICANT TO ADDRESS SOME CONCERNS WITH THE SITE PLAN.

AS AGAIN, JUST A REHASH HERE, THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN THE MIXED USE CHARACTER ZONE OF BEDFORD COMMONS, AND THE USE OF PROPOSED DRIVE THROUGH RESTAURANTS IS ALLOWED.

THIS IS THE REVISED SITE PLAN THE APPLICANT PROVIDED TO US.

THE BIG CONCERN THAT WAS DISCUSSED WITH THE SITE PLAN LAST TIME WERE TWO.

THERE WERE TWO. ONE WAS THE WALKABILITY OF THE SITE REALLY TRYING TO CONNECT THE SITE TO TO THE CORE OF BEDFORD COMMONS TO THE SOUTH.

I'M SORRY, TO THE NORTH.

AND THEN THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT A DRIVEWAY APPROACH ALONG AIRPORT FREEWAY.

THE APPLICANT MET WITH STAFF A COUPLE OF TIMES ON.

WE HAD SEVERAL CONFERENCE CALLS ON THIS ON THIS APPLICATION.

THE STRUGGLE HERE FOR THE APPLICANT AND FOR STAFF AS WELL, IS THAT THE PROPERTY IS NOT ONLY LOCATED IN THAT HIGHWAY MIXED USE CORE ZONE THAT ENCOURAGES, UM, AUTO DOMINATED USES TO BE KIND OF ORIENTED TOWARD THE FREEWAY, TOWARD THE FRONTAGE ROAD THERE.

IT'S ALSO WITHIN THE MASTER HIGHWAY CORRIDOR OVERLAY, WHICH ALSO ENCOURAGES OR ADDS ADDITIONAL, UM, REQUIREMENTS THAT EVERYTHING BE ORIENTED TOWARD.

SO WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AUTO DOMINANT USES AND, UM, TRYING TO ORIENT THEM TOWARD A DIFFERENT DIRECTION THAN THE DEVELOPMENT THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO GEAR WALKABILITY TOWARD, IT MAKES IT A CHALLENGING SITE IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH ALL THAT.

THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED SOME CROSSWALKS AND MADE SURE WE LOOKED AT EXISTING SIDEWALKS TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING TIED TOGETHER. UM, SO THEY DID THEIR BEST THEY COULD.

IT DOESN'T LOOK DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOU SAW THE LAST TIME, BUT STAFF DOES THINK THEY DID THE BEST THEY COULD.

THE SECOND ITEM WAS THE DRIVE APPROACH ON AIRPORT FREEWAY, AND I KNOW THAT WAS TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE BIT AT THE LAST MEETING ABOUT WIDENING THAT THE THE APPLICANT DIDN'T REALLY

[00:05:03]

WANT TO TO GO TOO FAR DOWN THAT PATH, BECAUSE ONCE YOU DO THAT, YOU HAVE TO GET TXDOT INVOLVED.

AND TXDOT IS NOT ALWAYS THE FASTEST, MOST EFFICIENT ORGANIZATION TO WORK WITH.

AND I DIDN'T SAY THAT, BUT SO WE WERE TRYING TO AVOID TRYING TO WORK WITH TXDOT IN WIDENING THAT.

AND THAT DOES MEET THE ORDINANCE.

SO WE WE JUST KEPT IT AS IS.

UM, THE LAST THING THAT I WANT TO TOUCH ON THAT REALLY, WE DIDN'T TALK A LOT ABOUT, BUT IT IS OFFSITE TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS.

THE APPLICANT'S PROPOSING, UH, SINCE THESE ARE THREE AUTO DOMINATED USES, AND WE DO HAVE A LOT OF TRAFFIC THERE AT TEXAS HARLEY WAY AND IN CENTRAL, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO DO SOME OFF SITE IMPROVEMENTS, A RAISED MEDIAN THERE SO THAT TRAFFIC CAN'T CUT ACROSS TEXAS HARLEY WAY INTO PLAZA OR THE CHICK FIL A DRIVE THROUGH.

AGAIN, I THINK EVERYBODY'S FAIRLY FAMILIAR WITH THE SITE.

WE STILL RECEIVED NO RESPONSES IN FAVOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST.

AND WITH THAT, I CAN TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

I KNOW THE APPLICANT IS HERE AS WELL.

SO WES ONE CLARIFICATION ABOUT THE ACCESS OFF OF 121.

UH, CLARIFY FOR US MY UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GET TXDOT APPROVAL TO REMOVE A CURB CUT, BUT YOU DO HAVE TO GET ONE, AS YOU MENTIONED, TO EXPAND.

ANY WORK YOU DO IN TXDOT YOU'VE GOT TO GET THEIR PERMIT.

HOWEVER, IT'S MUCH EASIER TO GET A PERMIT WHEN YOU'RE REMOVING A DRIVE APPROACH THAN IT IS WHEN YOU'RE TOUCHING AN EXISTING ONE IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE.

OKAY. UH WES.

I HAVE A QUESTION ON THAT.

THAT CURB CUT 24 FOOT IS THE SMALLEST BETWEEN CENTRAL AND FOREST RIDGE.

THERE ARE SEVERAL CURB CUTS INTO THE VARIOUS PROPERTIES.

ALL OF THOSE ARE AT LEAST ONE AND A HALF TO TWO TIMES THE SIZE OF THIS ONE.

THAT'S WHAT BROUGHT ME ON THE COMMENT TO LOOK AT THAT, BECAUSE, I MEAN, YOU'VE GOT THREE ENTITIES THAT ARE GOING TO WANT TO ACCESS THIS ONE POINT. I SEE TWO PICKUPS GOING TO JUST, CLOG IT UP.

SURE. 24FT IS THE IS THE STANDARD WIDTH.

UM, AND AND THIS IS, THIS WAS BUILT PROBABLY BEFORE THE OTHERS THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO.

UM, SO IT'S, IT'S AN EXISTING DRIVEWAY THAT WE JUST, WE KIND OF HAVE TO LIVE WITH.

RIGHT. OKAY.

SO JUST AS ANOTHER THING.

SO THE DIFFERENCE IN THE PLAT BETWEEN LAST MEETING AND THIS MEETING, IN ESSENCE, IS THE WALKWAY.

YES, YES.

IT'S BETWEEN THE AND THE APPLICANTS HERE.

AND I'LL LET IF THERE'S.

THAT'S MY SEGUE TO THE DEVELOPER.

UNDERSTAND. OKAY.

PERFECT. ANYTHING ELSE FOR STAFF? I HAVE A QUESTION.

HEY, WES.

UM, I CAN'T READ THESE TERRIBLY WELL.

WHERE IS THE OUTDOOR SEATING DESIGNATED ON EACH OF THESE? BECAUSE I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT IT'D BE NICE TO HAVE OUTDOOR SEATING, BUT GIVEN THAT IT'S RIGHT OFF THE FREEWAY, THAT'S A LITTLE CHALLENGING.

IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT THAT EACH OF THEM HAVE OUTDOOR SEATING, BUT I KNOW A COUPLE THERE ARE.

THERE ARE SOME OUTDOOR SEATING PLANNED, I THINK, ALONG.

UM, LET'S SEE, I DON'T HAVE A POINTER HERE, BUT THERE ARE ESSENTIALLY ON THE FREEWAY SIDE OF THE OF THE PROPERTY.

YES. OKAY.

I THINK, UH, I THINK THE LOT 2 MAY HAVE SOME AREA BACK TOWARD THE, THE NORTH, BUT THE MAJORITY OF IT WOULD BE ON THE FREEWAY SIDE.

YES. OKAY. JUST AS A AS A REFRESHER AND A REMINDER IN THE PACKET, THERE'S THE ARTIST DRAWING, RIGHT, OF WHERE THAT IS WITHIN THE FOOTPRINT OF THE BUILDING, WHICH IS REFLECTED IN THE PLAT THERE ON LOT TWO.

IT'S THE THE LIGHT GRAY SQUARE.

JUST NORTH AND TO THE WEST OF THE ENTRANCE OFF OF 121 IS THAT SQUARE RIGHT THERE AND THAT BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THE ANDES BUILDING ON LOT TWO.

THAT'S THE OUTDOOR SEATING AREA, WHICH IS THE FOOTPRINT.

CROSSWALK THAT WAS ADDED THAT I POINTED OUT WOULD BE ON LOT TWO FROM IT CROSSES THE DRIVE APPROACH THERE OR THE DRIVE THROUGHS.

YOU SEE TWO DRIVE THROUGHS RIGHT THERE AND IT GOES TO THE NORTH TO THE EXISTING SIDEWALK.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

WES. DOES THE APPLICANT HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD? GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS JAKE FEARS CIVIL ENGINEER AT JFE ENGINEERING.

UM, YEAH, A COUPLE OF ITEMS. YOU KNOW, WE WENT EXTENSIVELY, DISCUSSED OPTIONS WITH PLANNING STAFF ON HOW TO MAKE THIS, THIS SITE MORE PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY.

[00:10:02]

AND AS WES HAD INDICATED, THERE WAS SEVERAL CONSTRAINTS BECAUSE OF THE MULTIPLE ZONING, UH, CONSTRAINTS, ESPECIALLY ON THE AIRPORT FREEWAY SIDE, THAT REALLY PREVENTED THE SITES FROM SHIFTING SOUTH TO OPEN UP MORE GREEN SPACE.

BUT WE DID ADD PEDESTRIAN ACCESS FROM TEXAS HARLEY WAY TO LOT TWO, AS SHOWN IN THE MIDDLE THERE.

UM, EVERY SITE HAS POTENTIAL FOR OUTDOOR DINING.

LOT ONE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THAT BUILDING, THERE'S THERE'S AN OVERHANG.

YOU KIND OF SEE THE LITTLE SMALL BLACK BLOCKS.

THAT'S THE THE CANOPY COVER THERE.

THERE'S A POTENTIAL OUTDOOR DINING THERE.

LOT TWO HAS THE AREA THAT UH, UH COUNCIL [INAUDIBLE] DISCUSSED EARLIER AND THEN ALSO ON LOT THREE ON THE KIND OF THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THAT SITE AS WELL.

THERE'S AN AREA THAT'S KIND OF BEEN DESIGNATED FOR OUTDOOR DINING, AS WELL AS SOME PARK BENCHES, UM, ALONG THE NORTH FACE THERE.

SO, UM, WE DID WENT ROUND AND ROUND WITH, WITH OPTIONS TO STILL STAY WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS AND MAKE IT MORE PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY.

THANK YOU SIR. APPRECIATE IT.

OKAY. UM, IT IS 6:29.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO NOW WE WILL CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING THAT WAS TABLED.

IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? PLEASE COME FORWARD.

NOW IT'S 6:30, WE'LL CLOSE THE CONTINUATION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING.

UH, BEFORE WE GO IN, GO AHEAD.

BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER.

UH, GENTLEMEN, WOULD YOU PLEASE STAND UP FOR A MINUTE? THE DEVELOPER. AND SO, WHILE WE'RE IN OUR PUBLIC MEETING, UH, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

THE THREE OF YOU AGAIN, I WANT TO APOLOGIZE ON BEHALF OF THE COMMISSION AS CHAIRMAN FOR THE FACT THAT YOU HAD TO COME BACK AGAIN THIS EVENING.

UH. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE INCONVENIENCED YOU TO THIS DEGREE.
