2. Conduct a public hearing a consider making a recommendation to City Council regarding a rezoning of the property described as Chimney Creek Addition Block 1 Lot 1R from Planned Unit Development to Planned Unit Development/Specific Use Permit – Massage Salon and the property is generally located on the north side of Bedford Road, to the south of Airport Freeway, commonly known as 1105 Bedford Rd.

[2. Conduct a public hearing a consider making a recommendation to City Council regarding a rezoning of the property described as Chimney Creek Addition Block 1 Lot 1R from Planned Unit Development to Planned Unit Development/Specific Use Permit – Massage Salon and the property is generally located on the north side of Bedford Road, to the south of Airport Freeway, commonly known as 1105 Bedford Rd. (SUP-24-9) ]

I'LL READ THIS OFF. THE FIRST ONE IS NUMBER.

IT'S NUMBER TWO ON THE AGENDA.

CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL REGARDING A REZONING OF PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS CHIMNEY CREEK ADDITION BLOCK ONE, LOT 1 R FROM PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AND TO PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENT SPECIFIC USE MASSAGE SALON.

AND THE PROPERTY IS GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF BEDFORD ROAD TO THE SOUTH OF AIRPORT FREEWAY, CURRENTLY KNOWN AS 1105 BEDFORD ROAD.

GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.

ALL RIGHT. SO THE FIRST ITEM ON TODAY OR SECOND ONE IS A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A MASSAGE SALON AT 1105 BEDFORD ROAD, SPECIFICALLY SUITE B. IT LIES NORTH OF BEDFORD ROAD, A LITTLE BIT SOUTH OF AIRPORT FREEWAY.

THERE'S A DEVELOPMENT OF SEVEN OFFICE BUILDINGS, AND IT WILL PROPOSE TO BE IN SUITE OR SUITE B IN 1105.

SO THAT'S GOING TO BE THE WESTERNMOST OR SECOND WESTERNMOST BUILDING RIGHT THERE.

A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND. SO THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT NOT TO ESTABLISH A BRAND NEW MASSAGE SALON, BUT SIMPLY TO RELOCATE AN EXISTING LOCATION.

THE OTHER ONE IS RIGHT UP THE ROAD AT 1944.

YEAH. 1944 BEDFORD ROAD.

MASSAGE SALONS REQUIRE A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT ACROSS ALL ZONING CLASSIFICATIONS THAT COULD ALLOW IT WITH A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

SERVICE. LIGHT AND HEAVY COMMERCIAL.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WAS ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED IN 1984 WITH SEVEN OFFICE BUILDINGS.

IT WAS REZONED FROM R 75 TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT SERVICE COMMERCIAL, AND THIS SIMPLY OUTLINED DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES FOR ALL THE BUILDINGS ON THE PROPERTY.

[00:05:02]

SO THE PROPOSED BUSINESS WOULD OCCUPY OCCUPY 829FT² SUITE.

THAT WOULD BE SUITE B.

SO AGAIN WITH THE ZONING CHANGE FROM 84 TURNED IT FROM R 75 TO THAT PUD.

SO IT HAS IT'S SURROUNDED BY R 75 RESIDENTIAL AND IT HAS HEAVY COMMERCIAL TO THE EAST.

THAT WOULD BE WHERE WE FIND BURGER KING ALBERTSONS THOSE DEVELOPMENTS RIGHT THERE.

SITE PHOTOS. IT'S TUCKED AWAY.

FROM THIS, FROM THE STREET.

AND IT HAS LIKE, ALL THE CONTIGUOUS OFFICE BUILDINGS THERE.

SO IT DOESN'T STAND OUT.

THERE'S NO PROPOSED EXTERIOR CHANGES.

SO WHAT YOU SEE IS PROBABLY WHAT'S GOING TO STAY.

SO IT'S A STRING OF OFFICE BUILDINGS TO THE EAST AND THE OFFICE BUILDING TO THE WEST.

AND WE HAVE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH OF IT OR SOUTH OF IT SO 27 PROPERTY OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED.

HOWEVER, UP TO DATE WE'VE GOTTEN ZERO RESPONSES.

A COUPLE PHONE CALLS ABOUT CLARIFICATION, BUT UP TO NOW, NO.

NO SUBMITTALS, NO LETTERS, NOTHING.

SO THE SITE IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPED AND DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY EXTERIOR CHANGES.

ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR MASSAGE SALONS IN THE CITY IS THAT THEY REGISTER WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

HOWEVER, MISS HUGHES HAS RECEIVED OR THE APPLICANT HAS RECEIVED APPROVAL FOR HER CURRENT BUSINESS AT 1944 BEDFORD ROAD.

SO THIS WOULDN'T BE ADDING OR TAKING AWAY, IT WOULD SIMPLY JUST BE CHANGING AN ADDRESS FOR ONE THAT ALREADY EXISTS.

CONDITIONS CAN BE PLACED ON SPECIFIC USE PERMITS IF IT'S DETERMINED THAT SPECIFIC CONDITIONS COULD BE ENFORCED TO ENSURE COMPATIBILITY WITH SURROUNDING LAND USES.

SO WITH THAT, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

OKAY. I THINK THE APPLICANTS ARE HERE IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS.

UP HERE. PUBLIC HEARINGS OPEN.

IF YOU JUST GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

AND FOR THE RECORD, PERSONAL HOME ADDRESS OR BUSINESS ADDRESS.

DOES IT MATTER? WES.

WHETHER THEY GIVE HOME OR BUSINESS.

IT DOES NOT MATTER.

OKAY. THERESA HUGHES, 837 SAN MARCOS LANE AND BEDFORD IS MY HOME ADDRESS.

OKAY. OKAY.

WE HAVE BEEN IN BEDFORD THIS YEAR, 2012.

WE SPECIALIZE A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.

THIS IS DIFFERENT FOR US.

I'M GOING TO SAY IT'S HARD BECAUSE WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO LOSE OUR BUSINESS.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN WITH THE CITY A LONG TIME.

AND MY CONCERN IS OUR SENIORS, WE SPECIALIZE.

WE'RE NOT ONE OF THESE OTHER MASSAGE SPECIALISTS.

I MEAN, I HAVE BEEN WITH THE NHL, THE OLYMPICS NASCAR.

I SPECIALIZE IN ONE OF THE ONLY MASSAGE THERAPISTS IN THE METROPLEX THAT HAS LOTS OF HOSPITAL PRIVILEGES, AND WITH THIS CHANGE, WE THOUGHT WE WERE BEING PROACTIVE AND AHEAD OF THE GAME.

THANKS TO WES AND SOME OF OUR MEMBERS THAT COME TO US ON A REGULAR BASIS, THEY'VE HELPED US GET ALONG THROUGH WITH THIS.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS, AND WE WERE AT OUR OTHER LOCATION 13 YEARS, AND IT HAPPENS TO BE THE SPOT WHERE THE COMMONS ARE GOING. AND IT'S KIND OF PERSONAL FOR US.

AND OUR CONCERN IS OUR STAFF AND OUR CLIENTS.

A LOT OF OUR CLIENTS ARE REALLY CONCERNED THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE AROUND, AND WE SPECIALIZE IN SOMETHING LIKE YOU'VE GOT GOING ON WITH INJURIES.

OKAY. I HAVE A VERY UNIQUE TEAM THAT REALLY, REALLY AND TRULY FOCUS ON INJURIES.

WE'RE NOT. I'LL SAY IT JUST LIKE THIS.

WE'RE NOT YOUR TYPICAL MASSAGE PLACE.

WE DON'T EVEN ADVERTISE.

OUR BUSINESS IS STRICTLY WORD OF MOUTH.

DOCTORS, CHIROPRACTORS, PTS.

WE HAVE PAIN MANAGEMENT DOCTORS ALL THE WAY FROM DALLAS.

WE HAVE CLIENTS THAT COME FROM WACO ONCE A MONTH FROM SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA ONCE A MONTH TO HELP WITH THEIR REHAB.

WE HAPPEN TO HAVE A TEAM OF THERAPISTS.

WHEN THE DOCTOR CANNOT DO ANY MORE, THEY'RE SENT TO US.

SO MY TEAM IS VERY SPECIAL.

AT 13 YEARS OF DOING THIS, AND WE WERE JUST WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO BE OUT OF BUSINESS, BUT WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR APPROVAL, THAT'S ALL.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE? YES, SIR. THANK YOU.

CHAIR. MY NAME IS LINDSAY.

I'M HERE FOR JENNIFER TONIGHT.

WILL YOU JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE YOU.

OH. I'M SORRY. LET ME SAY I OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING IN ARREARS.

HOWDY, COMMISSIONERS PATRICK WESTBROOK, 302 SOMERSET CIRCLE.

I'M ONE OF THE AFFECTED PROPERTIES ON THE MAP.

I'M ONE OF THE ONES ON THE LITTLE CIRCLE.

BEFORE I GET STARTED ON MY OPINION.

[00:10:01]

TWO THINGS I WANT TO CALL OUT.

JR, YOU MAY NOT REMEMBER ME, BUT WHEN YOU WERE APPLYING FOR THIS BOARD LAST YEAR, I WAS IN THE SAME INTERVIEW AS YOU.

AND BECAUSE OF YOU, I GOT INTO BEDFORD UNIVERSITY.

AND SO I DID THIS THIS PAST YEAR.

SO, I APPRECIATE THOSE CONVERSATIONS.

THE SECOND THING IS MY OPINION THAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY, I THINK FIRST AND FOREMOST, BEFORE I COMMENT ON ANYTHING, LIKE AS ONE OF THE RESIDENTS THAT'S IN THE IMPACTED AREA.

I'M PERFECTLY FINE WITH THIS BUSINESS, YOU KNOW, BEING APPROVED IN THIS, THE BECAUSE IT'S A BEDFORD BUSINESS JUST TRYING TO STAY IN BEDFORD.

AND THAT WAS BEFORE EVEN THE COMMENTARY THAT I STILL FELT THAT SAME WAY.

SO NO MATTER WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY, THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO BE CLEAR ON.

SO THE THINGS THAT I JUST WANT TO BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT, ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR SPOT, IF YOU COULDN'T TELL FROM THE MAP, EACH OF US WERE A VERY TIGHT KNIT COMMUNITY.

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CREEK FROM THESE APARTMENTS.

SO WHERE I AM LOCATED WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO LIKE SHOW THE MAP.

I KNOW I'M KIND OF PUTTING YOU ALL ON THE SPOT HERE, SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOP, MOST OF THAT OF THE AFFECTED AREA, THAT'S THE HOUSE THAT THAT WE'RE IN. SO WHAT'S IN MY BACKYARD IS THE LOVELY SMELL AND LIGHTS OF POPEYES.

SO LED LIGHTS.

I LOVE 5 P.M. BECAUSE IT SMELLS LIKE CHICKEN, BUT I DIGRESS.

SO ALONG THAT PARTICULAR CREEK, WE'RE A VERY CLOSE COMMUNITY.

WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME AT EACH OTHER'S HOUSES.

WE HANG OUT, GRILL IN THE BACKYARD, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

SO THE ONLY THING THAT I WISH WHEN IT CAME TO A PLACE LIKE POPEYES AND WHAT I WOULD ASK FOR IN ANY KIND OF CHANGES ALONG THAT PARTICULAR CORRIDOR IS THINGS IN AND AROUND PRIVACY.

SO IN COMPARISON TO CONVERSATIONS THAT RECENT HAD THAT RECENTLY HAPPENED AROUND THE CAR WASH, ON THE COMPLETE OTHER SIDE OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT I DON'T THINK REALLY IMPACT THIS AREA TRAFFIC NOISE, ANY OF THAT KIND OF STUFF ALL, THAT'S REALLY IMPACTED IN THIS PARTICULAR SPACE IS PRIVACY.

AND I SAY THAT AS LIKE THE ONE THAT HAS THE POPEYES.

I CATCH PEOPLE LOOKING OVER THE FENCE BECAUSE IT'S A SIX FOOT FENCE.

I HAVE THE LED LIGHTS IN OUR BACKYARD.

I ACCEPT ALL THAT BECAUSE THAT WAS ZONED FOR IT.

SO LIKE, I HAVE TO TAKE IT FOR WHAT IT IS.

BUT IN ANY KIND OF OPPORTUNITY AND AROUND THIS, I THINK IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO ONLY DO MINOR ASKS IN IT.

SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS AN EIGHT-FOOT FENCE.

IF YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, LIGHTS IN THE BACK PART OF THE PROPERTY FOR YOUR OWN BUSINESSES, SECURITY THAT THEY JUST DON'T FACE ACROSS THE CREEK AND MAYBE FACE BACK TOWARDS YOUR BUILDING. SO THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY THING, BECAUSE I THINK IT WOULD BE A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO RECTIFY WHAT EITHER WASN'T DONE OR WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE WHEN THIS WAS ORIGINALLY BEING BUILT, JUST TO HAVE SOME LEVEL OF PRIVACY.

THAT WOULD BE MY ONLY ASK, BUT IF NOT, IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE LIKE, I DON'T THINK IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD FOR THIS BUSINESS TO BE APPROVED.

AND THAT'S WHY I STAYED AT THE BEGINNING, THAT I WOULD BE FINE WITH IT.

REGARDLESS, THAT WOULD JUST BE MY ONLY ASK.

AND I'M SAYING ALL THIS AS I'M NOT THE SPOKESPERSON FOR EACH OF THOSE PROPERTIES AND JUST SPEAKING FOR MY FAMILY.

AND THAT'S IT. THANK YOU.

OKAY. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE LIKE TO SPEAK? YES, MA'AM. COME ON UP.

GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.

MY NAME IS BECKY FARRELL.

I'M AT 2204 FIELD LANE.

AND REALLY, THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS NOTHING MORE THAN A PLUG FOR ONE OF BEDFORD'S HIDDEN TREASURES.

IF THERESA REALLY SAID IT THE BEST.

BUT IF YOU HAVE NECK PAIN, SHOULDER PAIN, KNEE PAIN, HIP PAIN THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW.

THEY'VE BEEN IN BEDFORD FOR 13 YEARS, BUT THEY'VE BEEN IN BED.

THEY'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 20 BEDFORD WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE THEM MOVE HERE IN 2012, AND SINCE THAT TIME THEY HAVE BROUGHT IN MORE BUSINESS OUTSIDE OF THE CITY THAN I EVER REALIZED.

THEY SERVE 3 TO 400 CLIENTS PER MONTH, AND AS I MENTIONED TO WES, 70% OF THOSE COME FROM OUTSIDE BEDFORD. SO YOU TALK ABOUT A DESTINATION BUSINESS.

WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE IN THE CITY.

WE'VE HAD ONE FOR YEARS.

WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE THAT COME IN FROM OKLAHOMA CITY, SHREVEPORT, THAT INCLUDES AN OVERNIGHT STAY AND THAT INCLUDES VISITS TO OUR RESTAURANTS.

BUT MORE THAN THAT THE THE REASON THAT WE'RE HERE THIS EVENING IS BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF BUSINESS THAT THEY ARE, A MASSAGE SALON, IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT THAT.

THEY'RE RATED DIFFERENTLY.

I MEAN, THERE HAS TO BE AN SUP THAT FOLLOWS THEM.

[00:15:02]

AND I WAS LOOKING HERE BECAUSE I'M NOT REALLY FAMILIAR WITH ZONING STUFF.

PROPOSED USE IS CLASSIFIED AS A MASSAGE SALON WITHIN THE ZONING ORDINANCE, AND AN SUP IS REQUIRED.

THAT'S JUST WHAT THE CITY SAYS.

AND THEN SUP REQUIREMENTS.

ALL OF THESE ESTABLISHMENTS ARE REQUIRED FOR THE SUP, EXCEPT UNLESS THEY'RE TYPE OF TREATMENT IS ADMINISTERED BY A MEDICAL PRACTITIONER, CHIROPRACTOR, ACUPUNCTURIST, PHYSICAL THERAPIST, OR SIMILAR PROFESSIONAL PERSON.

WHAT IMPRESSES ME ABOUT THIS BUSINESS IS THAT A GOOD PORTION OF THEIR CLIENTS ARE REFERRED BY THIS GROUP OF PROFESSIONALS.

SO AGAIN, IF YOU HAVE KNEE PAIN, IF YOU HAVE JOINT PAIN, IF YOU KNOW ANYBODY THAT DOES YOU NEED TO SEE TREES. THEY'RE WHY I CAN STAND UP HERE WITHOUT PAYING THIS EVENING AND SAY THANK YOU FOR GETTING THEM APPROVED.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? COME ON UP. HELLO.

MY NAME IS NICOLE RIDDICK.

I LIVE AT 2745 NORTH ODELL COURT IN GRAPEVINE, TEXAS.

I'VE BEEN SEEING LIANA, WHO IS ONE OF THE MAIN THERAPISTS AT TREES BODY WORKS, FOR PROBABLY ABOUT 12 YEARS NOW.

I SUFFER FROM SCIATICA.

IT'S CALLED SACROILIAC DYSFUNCTION.

I'VE SUFFERED PROBABLY ABOUT TEN YEARS FROM IT.

AND THEN IN 2011, I HAD A MASSIVE HERNIATION THAT REQUIRED EMERGENCY SURGERY.

AND SO I'VE BEEN SEEING THE PRACTICE TO TREAT THAT BECAUSE IT HAS LONG TERM SIDE EFFECTS.

AND I TRAVEL, I WORK PROBABLY 70 TO 80 HOURS.

I'M A CFO FOR A COMPANY IN SOUTH FORT WORTH.

45 MINUTES IN THE CAR.

EXTENSIVE TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS, WHICH CAUSES LONG TERM PAIN BECAUSE I CAN'T STAND UP AS MUCH AS I'D LIKE TO.

AND SO I SEE LIANA PROBABLY AT LEAST EVERY TWO WEEKS.

IF NOT, IF I CAN SQUEEZE IN EVERY WEEK BETWEEN MY TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS.

AND SO THE REASON WHY I GO TO LIANA IS, IS BECAUSE IF I WAS TO GO TO SOUTHLAKE IS TEN MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE GRAPEVINE, THE PRICES FOR ME, CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF CARE THAT I NEED, STARTS TO BECOME COST PROHIBITIVE.

I WAS DOING PHYSICAL THERAPY FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS.

THEN WITH MY TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS, PHYSICAL THERAPY WAS ONLY OPEN FROM 8 TO 5.

SO I STARTED DOING IN CONJUNCTION WITH MY TREATMENTS WITH LIANA, I STARTED DOING PHYSICAL DOING PILATES.

EXCUSE ME. AND SO FOR ME, IT'S, YOU KNOW, SHE'S SET UP A STRUCTURE SO THAT IF I COME AS FREQUENTLY AS I DO, IT'S IT BECOMES A VERY AFFORDABLE ARRANGEMENT FOR ME.

SO MUCH SO THAT MY HUSBAND AND I OWN A SMALL BUSINESS.

MY HUSBAND GETS TREATED BY LEANN, AND MY SON GETS TREATED, TREATED BY LEANNA.

SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT I BELIEVE IN LONG TERM HEALTH ASSOCIATED WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE AS WELL AS YOU KNOW, THIS FOR ME IS PHYSICAL THERAPY.

SHE DOES STRETCHES ON ME.

WORKS OUT MY IT JOINTS IS WHERE I HAVE SI PAIN SO FOR ME AND MY FAMILY IT WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT LOSS.

I APOLOGIZE I MISSED YOUR NAME, BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT, AS A WORKING MOTHER, I OFTEN FREQUENT BUSINESSES IN BEDFORD ON MY WAY HOME.

RIGHT. SO I'LL GO DO A TREATMENT.

I'LL HIT TWISTED ROOT AS ONE OF OUR FAVORITE RESTAURANTS, AND WE'LL FREQUENTLY ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING ELSE BETWEEN HER LOCATION, AS WELL AS GOING UP THROUGH CHEEK SPARGER THERE'S NOT A LOT OF OPTIONS.

USUALLY, WE GO UP I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE ROAD THAT'S CALLED JACKSON I THINK THAT'S CURRENTLY CLOSED AND THAT'S USUALLY HOW WE GET HOME.

SO, IT'S ALSO A CONVENIENCE BECAUSE THEN I'M IN THE AREA.

A COUPLE WEEKS AGO I HAD A FLAT TIRE.

RIGHT AFTER I LEFT HER PLACE, I WENT TO DISCOUNT TIRE IN BEDFORD.

SO TO THE POINT IS, IS THAT I DO THINK OTHERWISE.

IF I HAD NO OTHER OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT BEDFORD, I WOULDN'T BE PURCHASING ANY OF THOSE, ANY OF THOSE SERVICES IN THE CITY.

AND SO WHILE I'M ONE OF FEW CUSTOMERS THAT ARE SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE TREES BODY WORKS TODAY, I DO BELIEVE THAT A NUMBER OF THE INDIVIDUALS THAT THAT VISIT THE FACILITY ALSO RECEIVE THE SAME BENEFITS AS WELL AS PRODUCE REVENUE FOR THE CITY OF BEDFORD.

ANYWAYS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? HI, MY NAME IS LIANA MENDOZA.

I LIVE AT 1304 SHADY CREEK DRIVE IN EULESS.

I'VE BEEN A MASSAGE THERAPIST WITH TREES BODYWORKS FOR TEN YEARS.

I'VE BEEN A MASSAGE THERAPIST FOR 20 YEARS.

THE PEOPLE THAT I WORK ON HAVE BECOME FAMILY.

I SEE ABOUT BETWEEN 80 AND 90 CLIENTS A MONTH, AND THEY'RE REGULAR BASIS CLIENTS ANYWHERE FROM ONCE A WEEK

[00:20:02]

TO ONCE A MONTH.

AND I FELT VERY, VERY NERVOUS ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF US HAVING TO CLOSE OUR DOORS, ESPECIALLY WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON BEHIND US IN THE COMMONS.

YOU KNOW, THEY STARTED TEARING DOWN THE TREES BEHIND US AND THEY STARTED WIDENING THE ROAD BESIDE US.

SO IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO EVEN CONCENTRATE AND HAVE QUIET.

AND SO WE FELT THAT IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO MOVE TO A PLACE THAT WOULD BE MORE ACCEPTABLE WITH THE QUIETNESS.

I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU KEEP US IN BUSINESS.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? NO ONE ELSE.

I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

FELLOW COMMISSIONERS, ANY DISCUSSION? AH WES? IS THERE A REASON WHY WE HAVE TO RELOCATE? WELL, THE BUSINESS OWNER IS CHOOSING TO RELOCATE, AND THAT'S WHAT'S TRIGGERING THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUIREMENT.

OKAY. BECAUSE IT'S SITE SPECIFIC.

I MIC] OKAY. I'D ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT, JUST FOR THE RECORD, HAS NO BEARING ON YOUR DELIBERATIONS TONIGHT, BUT STAFF DID APPROVE A TEMPORARY CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY FOR TREES WELLNESS TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE INTO THEIR NEW LOCATION.

DID THAT THEIR BUSINESS THAT'S IN GOOD STANDING, AS ENRIQUE ALREADY SAID.

STAFF WASN'T CONCERNED.

HOWEVER, IT IS CONTINGENT UPON THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT GETTING APPROVED.

SO THEY ARE TEMPORARILY ABLE TO OPERATE OUT OF THERE, THE LOCATION THAT'S BEING PROPOSED TONIGHT.

I BELIEVE WE SET IT FOR 60 DAYS.

AND SO JUST SO THAT'S ON THE RECORD AND YOU'RE AWARE OF THAT.

OKAY. WES.

LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION, ENRIQUE.

I'M ASSUMING THE LIGHT SITUATION THAT THAT GENTLEMAN BROUGHT UP.

I'M ASSUMING THE LIGHTS ARE GOING TO COME FORWARD TO THEIR PARKING LOT.

I DON'T SEE THAT AS A PROBLEM, BUT I'M ASSUMING WHAT'S THERE EXISTING AS A SIX FOOT FENCE? THERE'S NOT AN EIGHT FOOT FENCE ALONG THAT FOR THE OTHER BUSINESSES THAT ARE THERE.

IS THAT CORRECT? YES. SO THERE ARE NO EXTERIOR CHANGES PROPOSED WITH THIS? AND I WOULD ON THIS PARTICULAR LOT.

I UNDERSTAND THAT ON THE POPEYES LOT, THERE'S PROBABLY LIGHTING AND THINGS ON THE BACK, BUT I'M NOT THINKING ON THIS LOT THAT THERE ARE.

THAT'S WHAT I'M THINKING.

BUT AS FAR AS THE ACTUAL FENCE LINE BEHIND THIS BUILDING, IT'S SIX FOOT, AS ARE THE REST OF THEM.

IT'S NOT EIGHT FOOT BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL AND BUSINESS.

CORRECT. OKAY. CORRECT.

OKAY. COMMISSIONERS, ANY ONE OTHER QUESTION ON THE SAME TOPIC? WOULDN'T THAT CONVERSATION THEN BE WITH WHOEVER OWNS THE OFFICE BUILDINGS? IT WOULDN'T BE RELATED NECESSARILY TO THE.

I MEAN, I THINK THAT BECAUSE THIS IS A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

AND PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.

SINCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A SITE SPECIFIC, IF YOU THOUGHT THAT ADDITIONAL FENCING OR SOMETHING TO ENSURE COMPATIBILITY WITH SURROUNDING AREA WAS NECESSARY, YOU COULD STILL IMPLY SUCH A CONDITION.

I'M JUST NOT SURE IT'S NECESSARY IN THIS CASE.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION. ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM ANY OTHER COMMISSIONERS? OKAY. DOES SOMEONE WANT TO MAKE A MOTION? I WILL GLADLY. I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE REZONING OF THE PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS CHIMNEY CREEK ADDITION BLOCK ONE, LOT ONE.

FROM PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT SPECIFIC USE PERMIT MASSAGE SALON.

AND THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON GENERALLY ON THE NORTH SIDE OF BEDFORD ROAD TO THE SOUTH OF AIRPORT FREEWAY, COMMONLY KNOWN AS 1105 BEDFORD ROAD, SUP-24-9.

DO I HEAR A SECOND? I SECOND THAT.

OKAY. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED.

OKAY. MOTION PASSES.

THANK YOU FOR COMING.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A GREAT BUSINESS.

THERE'S SOME OF US UP HERE WHO PROBABLY COULD FREQUENT YOUR BUSINESS.

YES. OKAY.

OKAY. WE MOVE ON.

[3. Conduct a public hearing and consider making a recommendation to City Council regarding a rezoning of the property described as Airport Freeway Center Block 1 Lot 2 from Heavy Commercial to Heavy Commercial/Specific Use Permit – New and Used Cars and Trucks Sales and Service and the property is generally located at the intersection of Bedford Road and Tennis Drive on the northwest side and commonly known as 223 Bedford Road. (SUP-24-7) ]

ITEM NUMBER THREE.

[00:25:01]

CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL REGARDING A REZONING OF THE PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS AIRPORT FREEWAY, CENTER BLOCK ONE, LOT TWO.

FROM HEAVY COMMERCIAL TO HEAVY COMMERCIAL SPECIFIC USE PERMIT NEW AND USED CARS AND TRUCK SALES AND SERVICE, AND THE PROPERTY IS GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF BEDFORD ROAD AND TENNIS DRIVE ON THE NORTHWEST SIDE, AND COMMONLY KNOWN AS 223 BEDFORD ROAD.

GOOD EVENING AGAIN.

ALRIGHTY. SO THIS SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IS FOR THE FULL NAME.

NEW AND USED CARS TRUCKS AND SALES AND SERVICE PARTICULAR IN THIS ONE IT'S GOING TO BE A USED CAR SALES.

SO A LITTLE BIT OF DETAIL ON THAT.

THE LOCATION IS AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF BEDFORD ROAD AND TENNIS DRIVE.

I'M SURE SOME OF YOU HAVE PROBABLY DRIVEN BY IT.

IT'S THE CIRCULAR BUILDING.

[INAUDIBLE] IT IS THE PROPOSED USE IS FOR USED CAR SALES TO ALLOW WITHIN AN EXISTING CAR RENTAL LOCATION.

PER THE APPLICANT, HOURS OF OPERATION WOULD BE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 10 A.M.

TO 4 P.M., WITH ONE EMPLOYEE.

A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IS REQUIRED FOR NEW AND USED CAR AND TRUCK SALES AND SERVICE.

AND IT CAN ONLY IT CAN ONLY HAPPEN IN THE HEAVY COMMERCIAL ZONING CLASSIFICATION.

SO, IN ORDER TO OPEN ONE UP, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IN THAT ZONING CLASSIFICATION.

NO OTHER ZONING CLASSIFICATION ALLOWS FOR THIS USE.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WAS DEVELOPED IN 76, AND A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR CAR RENTAL USE WAS ALLOWED IN 2003.

THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY UTILIZED FOR CAR RENTALS, AND IT'S THE CURRENT TENANT IN THE OCCUPANT AT THE LOCATION THAT'S REQUESTING THE SUP FOR THE USED CAR SALES COMPONENT OF IT.

THE ZONING MAP. IT LIES WITHIN HEAVY COMMERCIAL.

THERE'S HEAVY COMMERCIAL TO THE EAST, TO THE WEST, TO THE SOUTH ARE APARTMENTS, AND TO THE NORTH WOULD ALSO BE APARTMENTS.

SO IT'S KIND OF WEDGED IN BETWEEN, BUT IT'S PRETTY TUCKED INTO THAT LOCATION.

SITE PHOTOS. AGAIN, THE CIRCULAR BUILDING TO ONE SIDE.

WE HAVE AN OFFICE BUILDING AND I THINK THAT'S AN ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.

I THINK THAT'S A LAW FIRM.

AND THEN TO THE OTHER SIDE WE HAVE OTHER RETAIL CENTERS.

AND THEN TO THE FRONT WE HAVE APARTMENT COMPLEXES OR APARTMENT BUILDINGS.

SO WITH THAT, SEVEN ADJOINING PROPERTY OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED.

HOWEVER, TO NOW WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED A SINGLE LETTER OR RESPONSE FOR THIS USE.

SITE PLAN. THERE ARE FOUR SPACES IN FRONT AND 18 SPACES IN THE REAR.

STAFF FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.

SO THE SITE IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPED AND NO EXTERIOR CHANGES ARE PROPOSED.

THE PROPOSED USE IS NOT IN GENERAL COMPLIANCE WITH THE ADOPTED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

BASED IN THIS AREA BEING A FOCUS, COMMERCIAL FOCUS AREA.

STAFF'S CONCERN IS THAT WHILE THE LOCATION MEETS THE MINIMUM PARKING COUNT, AND THAT WOULD BE ONE PARKING SPACE FOR EVERY 500FT².

THE LOCATION HAS APPROXIMATELY 1200 SQUARE FEET, SO WE ONLY NEED THE 3 OR 4 SPACES.

WHICH THEY HAVE AT THE FRONT.

STAFF'S CONCERN IS THAT PLACEMENT OF USED CAR SALES OR USED VEHICLES AT THE FRONT WOULD NOT ALLOW FOR CUSTOMER PARKING OTHER THAN BEING ON THE STREET.

CAR CUSTOMERS PARKING IN THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING.

THE VEHICLES WOULD BE OUT OF SIGHT BECAUSE THERE'S A WOOD FENCE THAT RUNS ALONGSIDE THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY, SO YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE THE VEHICLES THAT ARE FOR SALE.

AS CURRENTLY PROPOSED CAR RENTALS, IT FUNCTIONS LIKE THAT.

BUT CONVERTING THAT TO A NEW USED CAR SALES WOULDN'T.

THERE'S A CONFLICT OF WHERE CUSTOMERS PARK AND WHERE THE VEHICLES ARE STORED FOR VIEW.

HOWEVER, CONDITIONS CAN BE PLACED ON SPECIFIC USE PERMITS IF IT'S DETERMINED THAT SPECIFIC CONDITIONS COULD BE ENFORCED TO ENSURE COMPATIBILITY WITH SURROUNDING LAND USES.

BASED ON THAT, STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL.

AND LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION, ENRIQUE.

NUMBER TWO, IT DOESN'T EVEN COMPLY WITH THE CURRENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

WE'RE FOCUSING ON THE ONE THAT'S BEEN ADOPTED.

THE ONE THAT'S BEING PROPOSED IS STILL NOT.

THAT'S RIGHT. OKAY. SO THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

YEAH. OKAY. OKAY.

AND THE APPLICANT THEMSELVES IS NOT HERE, BUT THEIR BUSINESS PARTNERS ARE.

OKAY. SO LET ME OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND IF ONE OF THESE OR BOTH OF THESE GENTLEMEN WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, WE'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

YEAH, I'M ACTUALLY THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY I'M RENTING TO THE GENTLEMAN TRYING TO DO THE BUSINESS.

WHEN WE BOUGHT THAT PROPERTY IN 2019, I BOUGHT IT AS A CAR LOT, AND IT WAS A CAR LOT.

AND WHILE WE'RE DOING THE PROCEDURE BUYING THE BUSINESS AS A CAR LOT, SOMETHING HAPPENED WITH THE OLD OWNER FOR THE BUSINESS TOOK THE LICENSE

[00:30:01]

AWAY. SO, IT WAS A CAR LOT BETWEEN 2017 UNTIL 2020 WHEN I BOUGHT THE PROPERTY, WHICH I BOUGHT IT AS A CAR LOT, BUT IT'S GONE.

BUT I MEAN, HOPEFULLY WE'RE TRYING TO GET IT BACK.

IT'S NOT FOR ME THIS TIME.

I'M RENTING FOR THE GENTLEMAN DOING THE BUSINESS.

IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO DO BUSINESS.

ABOUT SHOWING THE CAR, IT WAS RUNNING AS A CAR LOT AND IT'S THE SAME CONDITION AS IT WAS.

I MEAN, NOW TO SHOW THE CARS IT'S EVERYTHING IS DIGITAL RIGHT NOW.

SO WE PEOPLE KNOW FROM THE MEDIA, BUT WE HAVE WE CAN.

WHAT WE CAN DO IS THERE IS THREE SPOTS FOR THE FRONT AND ANOTHER ONE FOR THE FOUR PARKING LOTS, WHICH IS WE'RE GOING TO MAKE TWO FOR SHOWING THE CARS AND OTHER TWO FOR THE PUBLIC.

AND ALSO WE HAVE THE BACK GATE.

THERE'S GOING TO BE OPEN DURING THE BUSINESS TIME SO THE PEOPLE CAN STILL PARK IN THE BACK.

SO BECAUSE WE HAVE LIKE 18 PARKING SPOT AS WE OPERATE, WE'RE GOING TO START OPERATING.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE FULL AS 22 CARS.

IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

IT'S GOING TO BE STARTING BUSINESS.

WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO IT.

WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO TO DO CLEAN TITLE CARS FROM 18 AND ABOVE, WHICH SOMETHING CLEAN, SOMETHING NEWER AND AFFORDABLE.

WE'VE BEEN IN THE BUSINESS AS ME, I'VE BEEN IN THE BUSINESS 20 YEARS AND THOSE GENTLEMEN, THEY ARE GREAT.

THEY DO THE BUSINESS WITH ME AND MY OTHER LOCATION.

I USED TO HAVE A SHOP IN BEDFORD AS WELL, BUT FOR ME, AS AN OWNER OF THE BUSINESS OF THE LAND, HOPEFULLY I GET BACK WHAT I LOST, WHICH I LOST IT DURING THE PROCEDURE OF JUST I GAVE THEM MONEY AND AS SOON AS I FINISH IT THE CITY SAID, OH, THOSE GENTLEMEN, SOMETHING HAPPENED.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, I'M SURE THEY DID SOMETHING WRONG, BUT I LOST WHAT I BOUGHT.

I BOUGHT IT AS A CAR LOT, WHICH THE MONEY I PAY AS A CAR LOT.

SO HOPEFULLY, HOPEFULLY WE GET IT BACK, BUT NOTHING CHANGED.

THE BUILDING IS THE SAME. THE BACK LOT IS THE SAME AS SHOWING THE CARS.

IT'S A LOT OF WAYS TO SHOW THE CARS.

WE CAN DO IT DIGITALLY.

THE GATE IN THE BACK IS OPEN DURING THE BUSINESS HOURS, AND WE STILL THE FOUR SPOTS IN THE FRONT, WE CAN LEAVE LIKE TWO FOR SHOWING CARS AND OTHER TWO FOR THE CUSTOMER.

IF IT'S A LOT OF FLOW, THE BACK FLOW CAN GO TO THE BACK.

OKAY. THANK YOU. SIR I BELIEVE YOU NEED TO STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

OH. I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY.

MY NAME IS, I WAS EXCITED.

IT WAS MY BOY AND TRYING TO GET MY THING BACK.

MY NAME IS SAM ASSAD.

I LIVE IN FORT WORTH.

IT'S A 9052 BLUE RIDGE TRAIL, ZIP CODE 76118.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU. THERE'S ANOTHER GENTLEMAN SITTING NEXT TO YOU.

I DON'T KNOW IF HE WANTS TO SPEAK OR IF THERE'S ANYONE ELSE OUT IN THE AUDIENCE.

NOBODY ELSE.

OKAY. WITH THAT, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

COMMISSIONERS DISCUSSION COMMENTS.

THAT'S THE MAJOR OBJECTIVE.

I MEAN, THE OBJECTION HERE IS THE PARKING SITUATION.

PRIMARILY IN THERE AND IT WAS IT, IN FACT, A PREVIOUSLY A I, I DON'T HAVE ANY RECORD OF IT PREVIOUSLY BEING A CAR LOT.

HOWEVER, I WILL SAY IT BASED ON THE DESCRIPTION THAT'S BEEN GIVEN, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT COULD HAVE BEEN MAYBE A NON-CONFORMING USE AT ONE TIME, AND THAT USE CEASED FOR SO LONG AND THEN THE NONCONFORMING WENT AWAY.

THAT'S WHAT I WOULD ASSUME.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES, BUT I THE CONCERN REALLY IS ON THIS ONE, WHILE THERE'S A CONCERN WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND IT BEING IN A, IN A FOCUS AREA OF REDEVELOPMENT.

THE BIG CONCERN HERE IS THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE SITE AND DISPLAYING THE CARS.

RIGHT. OKAY. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? I HAVE A QUESTION. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION.

IT SAYS THAT I WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED.

HEAVY COMMERCIAL, BUT IT SAYS THAT NEW AND USED CAR SALES ARE ALLOWED IN HEAVY COMMERCIAL WITH AN SVP.

BUT THEN IT SAYS AT THE END THAT IT WOULDN'T BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE USE.

WELL, JUST BECAUSE IT'S ALLOWED IN A ZONING DISTRICT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF AN SUP, IS THAT YOU LOOK AT THE SPECIFIC SITE TO SEE IF IT'S COMPATIBLE WITH THE WITH THE SITE ITSELF.

BECAUSE THIS ZONING WILL STAY WITH THE PROPERTY, NOT WITH THE OWNER.

CORRECT. RIGHT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? I'M SORRY.

GO AHEAD. AND THIS BUSINESS HAS STOPPED OPERATING.

FOR HOW LONG? I DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFICS ON THE USED CAR SALE BUSINESS OR THE CAR SALES.

I BELIEVE THE RENTAL CAR COMPANY HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR A WHILE, THOUGH.

[00:35:03]

THEY'RE STILL THERE. THEY ARE STILL THERE.

OKAY. THAT'S WHAT I WAS GETTING CONFUSED.

OKAY. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? I JUST THINK THERE'S THERE NEEDS TO BE A BETTER LOCATION.

DOES SOMEONE WANT TO MAKE A MOTION? I MOVE THAT WE THAT WE DENY THIS SUP 24/7 FOR THE CHANGING OF THE ZONING.

OKAY. DOES SOMEONE WANT TO SECOND THAT MOTION? OKAY. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? OKAY. I'M SORRY, YOUR REQUEST WAS DENIED, AND HOPEFULLY SOMETHING WILL WORK OUT IN THE FUTURE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
