[1:17] staff regarding those cases. The public comment will happen in the afternoon

[2:00] con. Consent consists of one through eight. I'm sorry. No, item

[4:59] all the parcels.
[5:04] uh, the property. The area request is currently zoned, uh, r dash 7.5
[5:08] single family district, and it's currently developed with a single family home and seven
[5:13] and seven undeveloped blocks. Uh, the area is predominantly single family residential
[5:17] with the church and the school to the northwest of the property. Uh, the applicant should
[5:21] use the site for a private recreational center club area. As such, they're requesting
[5:25] pacific use permit. Here's the
[5:29] surrounding land use and zoning.
[5:34] uh, here's the photo of the subject property.
[5:40] here's looking to the east, to the north
[5:46] to the south.
[5:51] here's the development standards according to the r um, the rr
[5:55] dash 7.5 a.
[6:02] here's the proposed site plan.
[6:10] here are the sup conditions,
[6:17] uh, corner four of dallas. This property is identified as community residential
[6:22] and with that, um, staff recommendations, approval for a five year period,
[6:26] eligible for auto renewal for additional five year periods subject to a site plan conditions.
[6:31] thank you mr. Lee. Questions for staff?
[6:36] yeah, my mr. Ks, I just, I think I know the answer to this question,
[6:40] um, just asking for all of my colleagues as well.
[6:45] the intent of the use of this site is for a,
[6:49] a sports field, a soccer field, and, and football field for private use. Correct? Yeah.
[6:54] okay. Thank you. Any other questions on

[7:15] item number seven, uh, that's yours as well. Commissioner wheeler, reagan. Good
[7:19] without a briefing. Any questions on that?
[7:23] are you raising your hand, mr. Pepe? Yes. Okay,
[7:28] great. Item number eight, commissioner
[7:32] funkin. Do you like that one? Briefed?
[7:36] oh, okay. No briefing necessary on item number eight. Is that coming off to be
[7:40] held or, okay. Do you have a date for the hold there?
[7:46] and can you, it'll be the second hearing date in august. Okay. August 20th.
[7:54] okay. That brings us to item number nine, commissioner
[7:58] kingston.
[8:03] briefed. Okay. Alright, ms. Levy.
[10:36] hi. Good morning, mr. Chair. Commissioners. Um, this is
[10:40] item z 2 6 54.
[10:46] this is an application for an amendment to subdistrict
[10:50] 30 within plan development district number 1 93 oak lawn
[10:54] special purpose district. This is located on the north corner of
[10:58] reagan street and brown street.
[11:15] okay, this is, um, the location. This is
[11:19] located in council district number 14. This
[11:23] is the area of request on reagan brown.
[11:29] again, this is currently zoned subdistrict 30 within pd 1 93,
[11:33] and it's currently developed with the community service center building
[11:37] and office. And, um, it was the resource
[11:41] center of dallas incorporated, uh, p ds 30
[11:46] functions similar to the multifamily two subdistrict, but it has modified
[11:50] yard lot and space standards primarily to facilitate
[11:55] an existing community service center building. Subject property has
[11:59] been developed with that office building since 1964, and
[12:03] the community service center has been there since 1985.
[12:07] um, but the tenant has,
[12:12] or owner has since vacated the existing building. So they're requesting
[12:16] an amendment to this pd to allow a new indoor game
[12:20] court center, um, for indoor game courts. Nothing
[12:25] will be outdoor at all. Uh, it's approximately 2000, um,
[12:29] with an approximately 2000 square foot restaurant without drive through.
[12:36] the applicant is proposing to modify, um, the front yard
[12:40] setback along reagan street to 10 feet in lieu of the,
[12:45] the mf two district requirement of a 15 foot front,
[12:49] front setback and also double frontage for the longest street.
[12:54] um, they also are asking for a 65% lot
[12:59] coverage for the new game court center in lieu of the required 50%
[13:03] lot coverage. Um, the applicant also
[13:07] is proposing, um, a lot of different standards to, for
[13:11] the subdistrict, pretty much compatible with what you see in other,
[13:15] um, pd 1 93 locations. Um, that includes
[13:19] habitat, gardens, some other sustainability features such as solar for the roof,
[13:24] pedestrians, sidewalks and paths and sidewalk amenities.
[13:30] um, again, this is the aerial and land use map. It's pretty much surrounded by
[13:34] multifamily. Uh, for the most part, there is an institutional use,
[13:38] a church use just, um, just next to it adjacent to the north,
[13:43] but otherwise it's, um, multifamily and then the variety of other
[13:47] types of housing. Um,
[13:51] I don't, did you want me to skip the photos or you want me to go through 'em?
[13:56] do you want a full presentation? Okay. Um, this is on brown
[14:01] street looking northeast. This is brown street looking northeast
[14:05] as well. Um, brown street.
[14:10] this is brown street. Also looking southeast.
[14:14] this is brown street looking southeast reagan street looking
[14:19] northeast and surrounding photos. Brown
[14:23] street and reagan street, just across the street could see the multifamily,
[14:28] um, brown street looking southwest. Looking northwest
[14:33] on brown, looking north, northwest down brown street
[14:39] again. Uh, looking northeast on brown,
[14:43] this is looking northeast. This is the alley immediately adjacent
[14:47] to the existing facility. And
[14:51] on reagan street, this is looking, looking northeast
[14:56] reagan street looking northeast. Reagan looking
[15:00] southeast. Again, you can see there's a lot of, uh, different housing types
[15:04] surrounding, um, this facility. This is looking southeast
[15:09] on reagan, reagan and brown.
[15:13] um, also looking, um, just directly, um, kind corner
[15:18] or cat corner, reagan street and brown and looking
[15:22] up north, um, on reagan and brown.
[15:27] this is the proposed development plan. Um, it is showing
[15:32] again, the, the wider sidewalks, um, five foot sidewalk
[15:36] along, uh, brown street and then, um,
[15:41] and with the buffer also. And then a little bit of a variation
[15:45] on reagan street to make sure that we get the
[15:49] five foot sidewalk and the buffer. Um, the buffer will vary a
[15:54] little between four and five feet. Um,
[15:58] this is just a closeup view. Um, pd,
[16:02] pd conditions, um, habitat garden.
[16:06] again, that's, um, we have a definition for that. They also have the micro
[16:11] mobility charging. Um, so we have a definition for that. We had to add,
[16:16] um, this is to allow the game court center use.
[16:22] um, this is specifying a game court center, uh, must
[16:26] be located indoors. I would like to also point out, um, you should have
[16:30] a handout and there was also an email sent out with, um, a
[16:34] few updated, a few updates, um, within the pd
[16:39] conditions. Um, they are in, in the presentation
[16:43] as well, though. Um, this is for
[16:47] the setbacks. Um, 15 along brown, 10 along
[16:51] reagan
[16:57] design standards. Again, the sidewalks and pedestrian paths are
[17:01] in here. The micro mobility.
[17:06] um, the photovoltaic for the roofs,
[17:10] pedestrian amenities, excuse me. Uh,
[17:15] landscaping, um, again, so that everything can be accommodated.
[17:20] um, we do have some language in here, uh, specifying that
[17:24] the minimum general or special planting areas which are required
[17:28] in pd 1 93 in this subdistrict may be reduced,
[17:33] uh, for the purposes of allowing up to one foot of the minimum five foot
[17:37] unobstructed sidewalk to be constructed. So again, we're just trying to
[17:41] make sure everything fits in. Um,
[17:46] habitat garden signage, um, this is what I
[17:50] have in blue here and lavender in your handout is, um, this
[17:54] was added hours after the, um, docket went out.
[17:58] hours of operation are being added for the game court center. They may only operate
[18:03] within 7:00 am uh, to 10:00 pm
[18:09] okay, so, um, again, this is just a comparison chart. It's,
[18:14] um, pretty compatible with pd pd 30. Now
[18:18] again, we're just, um, varying slightly one of the, some of the setbacks,
[18:23] um, lot coverage and then adding in all of the special
[18:27] standards that we just discussed. Um,
[18:31] this is consistent with forward dallas 2.0. It's in the city residential
[18:36] place type, um, which does allow for civic,
[18:40] um, institutional uses, commercial office, a variety.
[18:44] basically a mix of uses in a, in an urban area.
[18:50] staff recommendation is approval subject to development plan and
[18:54] amended conditions as briefed. Um, again, that's per the conditions
[18:59] on the handout that you have. With that, I'd be happy to answer any
[19:03] questions. Thank you so much. Questions
[19:07] for staff
[19:12] commissioner hall. Ms. Levy, I,
[19:16] I apologize if I missed this. Indoor game courts are those pickleball courts.
[19:21] um, the indoor game court will be, um, paddle, uh,
[19:25] a paddle type game. That's something a little bit
[19:29] new. Was that your question? I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm just curious of what, what kind
[19:33] of game courts are there? Yes sir. It's, it's a paddle game. Some sort of paddle game.
[19:38] , . Alright, thank you. Okay, thanks so much.
[19:44] anyone else? Questions? Okay, on we go.
[19:49] my understanding is item number 10 is going to be held. Do we need that brief?
[19:53] do we okay. To move along?
[19:58] we okay to proceed without briefing. Item number,
[20:03] are we okay to proceed without briefing? Item 10. Okay, great.
[20:08] thank you so much. That brings us to item 11. Commissioner hampton
[20:12] questions or briefing on this one?
[20:16] anyone else? Okay. Item number
[20:20] 12. Commissioner franklin. No,
[20:25] nope. No briefing necessary there unless anyone else would like
[20:29] it. Item 13, commissioner carpenter
[20:34] does not need briefing. Okay. Anyone else with questions on item
[20:38] 13? That
[20:42] takes us to item number 14. Commissioner kingston, would you like a
[20:46] briefing or questions on this one? No.
[20:50] okay. Would anyone else like a briefing on item 14?
[20:57] okay, you can always ask questions of staff at the public hearing.
[21:02] item number 15, commissioner serato? Yes, I'd like to brief please. Okay, let's
[21:06] brief this one, mr. Lee.
[22:13] uh, item 15, uh, this is gonna be z dash 26 dash
[22:17] 0 0 0 9 3. Uh, located counsel
[22:22] district five. Uh, here's the aerial in the zoning
[22:26] surrounding zoning land uses of the property.
[22:31] uh, the proposal for his application is this new specific use permit for the sales of alcohol
[22:36] beverages in conjunction with the german merchandise store. Uh, 3,500 square feet
[22:40] or less on property zone sub area two within plan development district
[22:44] number 360 6 butner boulevard special purpose district with
[22:48] the d one liquor control overlay.
[22:52] here's a few background information. Um, currently the site is developed, uh, with the drum
[22:57] merchandise store 35,000 square feet or less. Uh, this will be a new
[23:01] sup for the property. Um, which that in that case would be no changes to
[23:05] svp or site plan since it's a new one.
[23:09] uh, here's the subject property. Uh, it is going to be the, the window,
[23:13] um, three, three doors down to the right
[23:18] here's looking, uh, west along late june road
[23:23] to the north and then to the east.
[23:30] uh, here's the proposed site plan with the application,
[23:36] uh, the proposed sup conditions.
[23:42] according to forward dallas, this property is identified as neighborhood mixed use
[23:49] and, uh, recommendation approval of subject to site planning conditions.
[23:56] thank you mr. Lee. Any questions for staff commissioner serato? Yeah,
[24:01] thank you mr. Lee. I know we spoke about a couple of, or we emailed back and forth about a couple of
[24:05] these questions already. Um, I, in the,
[24:09] you know, the docket and the report I received, it shows the blue
[24:13] square where the sup will apply and, um,
[24:18] it shows almost a, you know, a quarter of the building that's gonna
[24:22] be covered by the sup, which would cover more than that one unit that you're showing.
[24:26] I, I think it was unit one 20 is what you were looking at. So the
[24:31] sup would cover actually both units on that corner and it actually extends into the street,
[24:35] which was strange to me. I had never seen that before. Um, so I was just wondering like
[24:40] if someone else is gonna own the other unit on the right side of
[24:44] that, 'cause that that appears to also be covered by that blue square and then why it
[24:48] extends into the street the way it does. Yeah. Uh, yeah, so the reason
[24:52] it extends into the street, um, that would be a question for our gis team, which, um, the person who
[24:56] does that, she's out okay. In the office. I couldn't get an answer for that. Mm-hmm . Um,
[25:00] regards to the different units, I believe when I went to the property they were doing
[25:05] interior renovations. Um, so I think it would be the two, the two doors. The one
[25:09] 20 and one 30 unit? Yes. Okay. And do you, do you have any insight as to why it
[25:13] extends into the street? I can speak to that actually. Uh, so there's kind of two
[25:17] things going on. Any, any zoning can be done through a meets
[25:21] and bounds, which is an individualized survey of a small base of land. That's what
[25:25] they did in this circumstance. So it does not actually, yeah, as, as you said, apply to the whole,
[25:29] uh, parcel, which is much larger. Um, that's fairly common with these, uh, kind
[25:34] of suite based or, or, or strip mall type businesses.
[25:38] uh, on the other hand, going to the street, that's actually, that's actually pretty common for a
[25:42] lot of zoning because zoning actually, uh, extends to the center of the street. So
[25:46] if you go to the property line, which I believe they surveyed it to the property line mm-hmm . Zoning,
[25:51] any zoning actually goes to the center line of the street. So in the situation where,
[25:55] uh, street was abandoned, then the zoning, uh, then goes out there. So
[25:59] that's kind of a, a quirk, but I think it's because they surveyed this from the
[26:04] property line into their suite and then up, but I, and, and, and
[26:08] harder to say exactly where it falls in those suite lines, but they, they did their
[26:12] best to survey. I, I appreciate it. Still learning about some of this stuff, so I appreciate
[26:16] you. Um, good question, uh, ask, answering that for me also, do you, do
[26:21] we know anything about the owner? I was trying to look up like what type
[26:25] of convenience store, this is gonna be the ownership. I just wanna know a little bit about their history 'cause there's
[26:29] several convenience stores already on that same block, so I just,
[26:33] uh, wanted to know if they, you know, they have a good history with the city of dallas, if you know anything about
[26:37] the owner themselves. Yeah. Uh, no, I don't have any history. Um, no. Any history of the
[26:41] applicant or anything? Um, from what I know, it just is gonna be a convenience store.
[26:46] okay. Yeah. And then, um, I saw that it, it
[26:50] was for a three year sup and I, I know I asked this previously, I just wanted to
[26:54] make sure it was on record, um, that your recommendation was.
[26:59] um, yeah, I just, I saw that there was like a box that
[27:03] said staff recommendation three, uh, that would have no expiration, but that the applicant
[27:08] was asking for three years. Yes. The applicant was three years. Um, staff recommended no
[27:12] expiration. Okay. Alright, thank you.
[27:16] any other questions on item number 15?
[27:22] okay, we'll move on. Item 16, commissioner hampton
[27:26] briefing or questions on anyone else on
[27:31] item 16? Okay.
[27:39] um, if, did mr. Peppy
[27:44] remind me, are we, is someone here on the
[27:48] thoroughfare plan amendments or do they just be here this afternoon? Uh, they are transportation's here. If,
[27:52] if there are questions, I think, does anyone have questions or would anyone
[27:56] like into the thoroughfare plan amendments brief? Those are items 36
[28:00] through 38. Commissioner
[28:05] wheeler, I can't hear you. If you could turn your microphone on. I don't need to be
[28:09] brief. I actually had, um, can you pull your microphone down? I don't need to
[28:13] be brief. I actually had the planner to send it to cpc because it was, it
[28:17] was ready. No briefing necessary on 37. Uh, vice chair
[28:21] herbert, do you need 36 brief? Okay. And
[28:26] commissioner franklin, would you like a briefing on 38? Not necessary.
[28:30] okay. Anyone else have questions on any of the thoroughfare
[28:34] plan items? Um,
[28:39] since we've got time, I think we could probably use, since we have several
[28:43] new members who I don't think have seen thoroughfare plan amendments before, it might be
[28:47] good to take five to 10 minutes just for a quick explainer,
[28:51] if that's okay with ms. Morrison. Yeah,
[28:56] so just how the plan works
[29:00] and, and what the thorough fair plan is and equally importantly
[29:04] is not.
[29:18] hello, good morning. Um, city plan commission. I'm janna weell, I'm the transportation
[29:23] planning administrator with the transportation public works department.
[29:27] um, so the thoroughfare plan is really simply how the city plans our
[29:32] long way, our long range roadway capacity and, um, any
[29:37] right of way that we need to preserve to ensure that we can maintain mobility and connectivity
[29:41] across the city. So it looks at some basic things like the amount of
[29:45] right of way number of lanes, is it divided or undivided,
[29:49] what its function is within the city. Um, it does not take into
[29:54] consideration things like aesthetics, uh, safety
[29:59] sidewalks, things like that. It really focuses on how much right away needs to be
[30:03] preserved so that dallas can remain connected, have access
[30:07] to different parts of the city, um, make sure we have enough capacity. Um,
[30:11] was there anything else you'd like me to cover? Chair? Um, I think that, that,
[30:15] sorry, I think that's a good introduction. Anyone have questions for ms. Wenzel?
[30:19] I, I do mr. Chairs. So, uh, you said that we, the thoroughfare plan does not
[30:23] take into account aesthetics, sidewalks and things of that nature. Where are those things
[30:27] taken into account? So, um, the city of dallas has multiple standards
[30:32] and street design manuals, um, different policies and things like that.
[30:36] and so a thoroughfare plan is really just looking at the basics of the roadway
[30:41] and you would apply those street design standards during plan review during public
[30:45] meetings through different like, um, processes outside of the
[30:49] thoroughfare plan. Great, thank you. Anyone else?
[30:54] commissioner carpenter? Yeah. Could you kind of run through the sort of hierarchy
[30:58] of the different types of, you know, the arterials and, and the
[31:02] fact that not all streets are on the thoroughfare plan? Yes, that is a great question.
[31:06] so, um, the thoroughfare plan has different functional classifications of streets.
[31:11] so you have your major and minor arterials, um, which
[31:15] provide connectivity over larger distances, collectors
[31:19] that feed into those arterials. Um, and then local streets are
[31:23] not included on the thoroughfare plan, so you're more residential streets. There
[31:27] are still requirements for how those are designed and built, but they're just not part
[31:32] of the larger thoroughfare plan.
[31:37] any other questions? One, just one follow up. I see on
[31:41] today's agenda that we have an application from a private applicant
[31:45] and um, a couple of applications from the city. Are we also
[31:49] able as commissioners to in or request thoroughfare plan I amendments?
[31:54] so the um, city code lays out the different ways you can do it. You
[31:58] as a private developer, you submit an application, you can also request through your council
[32:03] office, I believe, and I might defer to laura on this, on exactly what the
[32:07] code says.
[32:11] I'm sorry, what was the question? Can we reque as commissioners request a

[50:40] case number z 2 6 54 is an application for
[50:44] an amendment to subdistrict 30 within plan development
[50:48] number 1 93 oak lawn special purpose district.
[50:52] this is located on the north corner of reagan street and
[50:57] brown street. Staff. Recommendation is approval subject to a development
[51:01] plan and amended conditions as briefed.
[51:07] great, thank you so much. Uh, any speakers in support
[51:11] on item number nine? Come on down.
[51:26] good afternoon commissioners and thank you for the opportunity to speak today. My name is catherine durham.
[51:31] my address is 2 7 2 8 north harwood street and I am here on
[51:35] behalf of the applicant, av ventura asset management. As
[51:39] you may know, this site is the former home of the resource center who has been amazing
[51:43] to work with and supportive of our goal today. The resource center has a new, beautiful
[51:47] home in town where it is continuing its mission and would like to sell this property.
[51:52] this property is somewhat unique because of its size and proximity to residential.
[51:56] so we have a somewhat unique idea with constraints in place in order that
[52:01] we can be good neighbors to the existing community, community and honor the legacy of
[52:05] the site we are proposing. And an
[52:09] amendment to the pd to allow for the game court center use for the operation
[52:13] of a padel facility on the site. Padel is a quickly growing
[52:18] sport that is a hybrid between tennis and racketball. It is played fully
[52:22] indoors with tennis size rackets, but players can utilize walls of the
[52:26] court like racketball. We started this process of amending
[52:30] the pd by meeting with neighbors, obtaining support from the oakland committee
[52:35] and working with the city to arrive at conditions which will allow for our
[52:39] intended use, which is not currently allowed in the mf two based district of the pd.
[52:43] we have spoken to community members individually that have had any questions or
[52:47] concerns, including the gentleman who spoke in opposition at our last cpc meeting
[52:52] and is no longer speaking in opposition for a project. The poel center
[52:56] will be open to the public and not a private club. We hope it will serve as
[53:00] a community amenity for nearby residents as well as the community at large.
[53:04] and we ask for your support today to transform this wonderful site. Thank you again
[53:08] for your time. My, my colleague mallory muse and I are available for any questions
[53:12] that you might have. Thank you. Ms. Durham. Any other speakers in support
[53:17] of item nine? Ms. Muse is here if we have any
[53:21] questions. Perfect. Thank you. I see the gentleman
[53:25] from the oak lawn committee.
[53:31] I'm phil perry. I'm here representing the oak lawn committee. This
[53:35] project was presented to us, uh, earlier this year
[53:39] and on first presentation it was supported by the committee. We were impressed
[53:43] by what they had done with the neighbors and their reach out and
[53:48] their parking concerns. Thank you. Thank you. Any
[53:52] oh, mr. Perry, your, your address for the record. Oh, sorry. In, into
[53:56] the microphone if you wouldn't mind. Thirty six ten north versailles. Great. Thank you. And thank you
[54:00] for the reminder. Vice vice chair herbert, any other speakers in support
[54:05] speakers in opposition. Okay,
[54:11] that concludes our speakers. Commissioner kingston, do you have a motion? I do in
[54:15] the matter of z 2 6 0 0 0 0 5 4.
[54:19] I move that we close the public hearing and approve the application with
[54:23] the following changes in section 30.104.
[54:31] add subsection d to read for game court center development and
[54:35] use of the property. Must comply with the development plan. Perin exhibit.
[54:41] there is a conflict if there is a conflict between the text of this
[54:45] article and the development plan. The text of this article controls next edition
[54:50] 30.105. Add a subsection
[54:55] two under b to read a game. Court center must be located
[54:59] indoors and next edition
[55:05] in section 30.108. Subsection
[55:09] d should read for a game court center indoor restaurant use
[55:14] a minimum of 18 off street parking spaces
[55:18] is required. Subsection e should read
[55:22] consult part one of this article for the specific off street parking and loading
[55:26] requirements.
[55:31] and in subsection, I'm sorry, in section 30.113,
[55:35] add a sub a subsection d to read hours
[55:40] of operation. A game court center may only operate within the hours of 7:00 am to
[55:44] 10:00 pm and that is it. Thank you commissioner kingston
[55:48] for your motion. Commissioner cox for your second. Any discussion
[55:53] just briefly? I, I realize that there are still a couple of members of the community that are
[55:57] opposed to this and their primary concerns
[56:01] are potential noise and parking issues. Um,
[56:07] and I think a lot of the changes we've made will help alleviate those, but the reality
[56:11] is this piece of property is that vacant for a dozen years or so. And,
[56:15] you know, allowing property that live vacant in a community
[56:19] like this isn't good for it. And this provides an opportunity for people
[56:23] to participate in, you know, exercise activities, which is
[56:27] also beneficial to the community. And so I support this application and I hope you do too. Thank
[56:32] you. Any additional discussion?
[56:36] I did have a question for you, ms. Ms. Levy. Um,
[56:40] the motion required 18 off street parking
[56:45] spaces, correct? Yeah. What
[56:49] is pd? Um, 1 93.
[56:53] what would it require? Under base?
[56:58] under the, under that base I believe. I'm sorry, .
[57:02] I believe the base, um, because under 51,
[57:06] which is what we have written in the proposed conditions, would not require
[57:10] any parking. Okay. And how many are shown on the development plan
[57:19] commissioner? It's there. It's what's there already. What's that?
[57:27] I think your microphone is off. Sorry. It's the number of parking spaces that are already present
[57:31] on the site, which is 18. 18. Okay.
[57:36] okay. Um, I'm gonna support the motion.
[57:40] I think since we're just leaving the existing parking there at the same time,
[57:45] I do think while parking reform did not touch
[57:49] this pd or, or certain, or I guess it did. In fact, um,
[57:54] I, I think we've made a wise policy choice there and I would not, I'm
[57:58] generally not supportive of, of continuing to impose parking requirements in places where we've
[58:03] since repealed them. But this is what it is and overall I think it's a
[58:07] good case. Any other discussion?
[58:12] mr. Kingston? I would just say that the parking reform doesn't apply to pd pd 1 93
[58:17] at all, including the subdistrict. Oh, okay. I thought ms. Ms. Levy's comment suggested
[58:21] that it may staff recommended that we adopt, uh, the general
[58:25] code and the members of the oaklawn committee have been very clear that they
[58:29] do not wanna deviate from their parking scheme. That's already in pd 1 93.
[58:34] and so I elected to, my motion was to require parking and not adopt stash
[58:39] proposal. Oh, thank you. Thank you for that clarification. Thank you.
[58:43] I can never remember which pds were affected and which
[58:48] maintained their own parking requirements. So thank you for the reminder. Any other discussion?
[58:53] okay, seeing none. We have a motion by commissioner kingston, second
[58:57] by commissioner cox to approve subject to development plan
[59:02] and, uh, amended conditions as amended
[59:06] by by commissioner kingston. All those in favor say aye. Any opposed, say
[59:10] nay. The motion carries. Alright, case. Thank you ms.

[1:00:50] you commissioner cox for your motion. Do we have a second? Commissioner sims? Any
[1:00:54] discussion? Okay, I guess the
[1:00:59] discussion has happened. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed?

[1:02:56] I move to close the public hearing and approve, uh, the new subdistrict
[1:03:00] and a new specific use permit for many warehouse subject to the site plan, landscape
[1:03:04] plan and conditions. Great. Thank you so much for your motion. Commissioner
[1:03:08] hampton, your second vice chair, herbert. Any discussion? Commissioner
[1:03:13] hampton? Thank you mr. Chair. Um, I just wanna thank ms kay for, um,
[1:03:17] her diligence in working through this case. It was reviewed at oak lawn committee who put
[1:03:21] a primary focus on the right of way landscaping
[1:03:25] impact and improvements to the pedestrian zone. Um, working with ms kay,
[1:03:30] we were able to further enhance the landscape standards as
[1:03:34] a buffer for the adjacent residential property and considering, um,
[1:03:38] the new construction that they're proposing as well as introducing some
[1:03:42] transparency standards, um, just to soften this. So I appreciate
[1:03:46] everyone in the community and hope my commissioners will support the request. Thank you mr. Chair.
[1:03:51] thank you commissioner hampton. Any other discussion on this item?
[1:03:56] mr. Bate was asking do we have a time period on that? It's listed in the pd as
[1:04:01] 20 years with no auto. Okay, great. Thank you for confirming.
[1:04:05] excuse me. Supi said pd sup requirements. Okay. Any
[1:04:09] other discussion? Commissioner kingston? Um,
[1:04:14] I'm pleased to support the motion. Uh, I'm pleased to see the changes that have been made
[1:04:18] since they went through oaklawn committee. I think particularly the changes that
[1:04:22] are adjacent to the multifamily right next door are impactful
[1:04:26] for the residents that are going to live next to this structure. And I appreciate the applicant's
[1:04:31] willingness to consider the, uh, quality of life issues for those
[1:04:35] folks too. Thank you. Thank you. Any other discussion?
[1:04:40] seeing none. We have a motion by commissioner hampton, seconded by the vice chair.
[1:04:44] all those in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Say nay. The motion carries.
[1:04:49] let's go back to item number eight. Would you just be able
[1:04:53] to read that in mr. Bate? Sure thing. Uh, item eight is case z 26 0 0 0 84.
[1:04:58] an application for a new specific use permit for commercial motor vehicle parking on property
[1:05:02] zoned li light industrial district on the west line of bon view road, south telephone road, also known
[1:05:07] as 9,300 bon view road staff's. Recommendation. Approval for a 10 year period with
[1:05:11] eligibility for automatic renewals for additional for additional 10 year periods. Set it
[1:05:15] to a site plan of conditions. Thank you. Alright, our
[1:05:19] first speaker in support. Hello? Uh, my name is hamel
[1:05:23] bardi address, uh, 9 3 0 0 bonne view road. Uh,
[1:05:27] I'm here to, I'm sorry, I'm gonna take some of your time, but I need
[1:05:31] to explain the situation. Uh, so in the beginning, the owner bought this
[1:05:36] land for the reason, uh, to make a commercial parking,
[1:05:40] and he did a zoning consultation and they told him that he, uh,
[1:05:44] the zoning is, uh, ally, which is a light industrial. Uh, and
[1:05:48] he was, uh, supposed to be allowed to do a commercial, uh, parking,
[1:05:53] uh, for, uh, for uh, commercial motor vehicle. So,
[1:05:57] uh, when, uh, I came to the city, I was checking to see
[1:06:01] if we can go forward with, uh, with doing that. Uh,
[1:06:06] they told me that there is a land behind this land
[1:06:10] behind nine, uh, 9 3 0 0 adjacent land with agriculture
[1:06:15] zoning. Uh, for that reason, uh, we cannot do a
[1:06:19] commercial parking without sup. So, uh,
[1:06:23] we are doing the sup now, but I just want to make sure,
[1:06:27] uh, if we are going to the right direction, if we have to do the
[1:06:31] sup, because when I, uh, read the zoning consultation,
[1:06:35] it says within 500 square feet, uh, 500 foot
[1:06:40] of, uh, residential zoning, not agriculture zoning.
[1:06:44] so I just wanna make sure of that. This is the first thing. Second thing,
[1:06:49] uh, if you could take a look at, uh,
[1:06:53] if you go back to the first page, and sir, if you could continue to speak into the microphone so we
[1:06:57] can hear you. Sorry, I apologize. I apologize. Uh, if we go back to the first one.
[1:07:02] so if, if you see, this is the aerial map, uh, showing the, the square
[1:07:07] is the land. Uh, I don't know if you see the land behind,
[1:07:11] uh, the square, the blue square. It's, uh, the one that
[1:07:15] we're talking about, agriculture zoning. I don't know if we, to the
[1:07:19] best of my vision, I see all kind of trucks in, in, in that land and
[1:07:23] all the area around it. So, uh, in
[1:07:27] agriculture zoning, I don't believe they supposed to have a commercial parking.
[1:07:31] uh, that's what we are having issue with, but, uh,
[1:07:36] we are only doing an sl parking for, uh, those commercial vehicle.
[1:07:40] and to serve the, the city can go to the next one.
[1:07:48] one more. So the land is 2.8
[1:07:53] acres. Uh, we are trying to do, uh, 76, uh, commercial
[1:07:57] parking. Uh, and this will serve the, the
[1:08:01] whole area. There is multiple businesses like amazon and, uh,
[1:08:06] eton and, uh, uh, kroger. They all need, uh, this commercial
[1:08:10] parking also. This gonna be beneficial for the city, uh,
[1:08:15] more, uh, tax money to the city.
[1:08:19] and I just want to make sure if everything
[1:08:24] is okay, that's your time. Thank you. Thank you so much, sir. I apologize. No,
[1:08:28] you're, you're nothing to apologize for. Are there any other speakers in
[1:08:32] support? Any speakers in opposition?
[1:08:38] okay, commissioner franklin, do you have a motion on item number eight?
[1:08:42] I'll do it. Mr. Chair, in the matter of z dash 26
[1:08:47] dash 0 0 0 0 8 4, I move to keep the public hearing open
[1:08:51] and hold this matter under advisement until august 20th, 2026.
[1:08:56] give a second. Commissioner carpenter. Thank you. Um,
[1:09:01] any comments? Commissioner franklin? Uh, yes, uh,
[1:09:05] I, um, have a real quick comment. I understand the applicant's, uh, concerns,
[1:09:10] uh, but the first I've heard about this case and the first time I've spoke to the applicant
[1:09:14] was last week. We have not had the opportunity, uh, to have any meaningful
[1:09:19] discussion, uh, regarding, uh, this particular case. Uh,
[1:09:23] but I do see from an email chain that you were first asked to reach out
[1:09:27] to me, uh, back in april and I don't understand why it's taken so long to reach out
[1:09:31] to me about this case considering the concerns that you have, but I
[1:09:35] couldn't meaning meaningfully, uh, you know, recommend this either way for
[1:09:39] approval denial without any, you know, time spent on this case. Okay,
[1:09:44] thank you commissioner franklin. Any other discussion? Um,
[1:09:48] I just have one comment. I, it sounds like you have some questions about some of the technical zoning issues.
[1:09:53] I'd encourage you to speak if you haven't had a chance already to, um, mr. Argue
[1:09:57] the planner assigned to this case. She should have be able to, to walk
[1:10:01] you through all of those issues, including how ag is treated under our
[1:10:06] city code in terms of what sort of zoning district it's,
[1:10:10] so we will, I would strongly encourage you to do that if you
[1:10:14] haven't had a chance already. Any other discussion?
[1:10:19] alright, uh, we have a motion by commissioner franklin, seconded by commissioner carpenter to
[1:10:23] hold the matter until eight 20. All those in favor say aye.
[1:10:27] aye. Any pardon? Eight. Eight august 20th.
[1:10:32] sorry, I just had eight 20 in my notes. Any opposed, say nay. The motion
[1:10:36] carries. We'll see you back here in in august. Thank you. Thank you
[1:10:40] sir. All
[1:10:44] getting back to it. Case number 12 is our next case.
[1:10:49] item 12 is case z 25 0 2 29. An application
[1:10:53] for a new plan development district for li light industrial uses on property zoned aa agricultural
[1:10:58] district on the south line of cleveland road, west of lancaster hutchins road status recommendation.
[1:11:02] approval subject to conditions. Alright, mr. Martinez. Thank you mr. Chairman.
[1:11:06] members of commission santos martinez 24 89 camino plata loop, northeast
[1:11:10] rio rancho, new mexico 8 7 1 4 4. Uh, this case was presented to you back
[1:11:14] at your june hearing. Uh, in conversations with commissioner franklin, uh, we
[1:11:19] felt it was important to make sure that we incorporated more landscape
[1:11:23] provisions and for what was originally submitted. Uh, the property is
[1:11:27] at the what used to be the dead end of cleveland road, the last parcel within
[1:11:31] the city of dallas. And it's surrounded primarily by, uh, the inland port pd.
[1:11:35] and so we took a lot of those, uh, uh, standards
[1:11:39] to place in here. Uh, there was another standard we, uh, discussed with staff that
[1:11:43] commissioner franklin wanted to make sure that we had, uh, protections for the creeks. And that's
[1:11:48] actually covered in article six or title vi six of code today.
[1:11:52] so, um, the biggest provisions you see from your june hearing is
[1:11:56] the landscaping sections that are believed beefed up. And then
[1:12:00] we also added an sup for a temporary batch plant. Stand for any questions you
[1:12:04] may have. Thank you mr. Chair. I'm
[1:12:08] sorry. Thank you mr. Martinez. Any other speakers in support on item 12?
[1:12:13] any speakers in opposition?
[1:12:18] okay, no further. No. I just forgot to mention that we
[1:12:22] had agreed with commissioner franklin that originally the maximum height with the inland port is
[1:12:26] like 300 feet. We agreed to 70 feet. And
[1:12:30] so the provisions we'd like to move forward today include the landscaping provisions, the sup
[1:12:34] on a temporary batch plant and a maximum height is now 70 feet instead of what was
[1:12:38] previously listed as two or 300 feet. Thank you for that confirmation.
[1:12:43] alright, any other speakers on this item? Seeing
[1:12:47] none, we go to commissioner franklin for a motion. Thank you mr. Chair.
[1:12:51] in the matter of case number z dash 25 dash
[1:12:56] 0 2 29, I move to close the public hearing and approve
[1:13:00] status recommendation subject to the conditions handed out at the horseshoe. Today
[1:13:04] it show the following changes an sup requirement for
[1:13:09] temporary concrete or asphalt batch plant reduce
[1:13:13] maximum structure height to 70 feet deviations
[1:13:17] from article 10, landscaping for site trees, street yard,
[1:13:21] landscaping, buffers, parking lots, and dumpster screening
[1:13:25] incorporated artificial lot delineation from article
[1:13:29] 10 in addition of irrigation requirements.
[1:13:34] have we seen those? Have we seen those? I haven't additions. Yeah, thank you. Those
[1:13:38] were, so those were circulated, uh, earlier by ms. Lopez. I apologize.
[1:13:43] I don't think we did hand them out physically. Um,
[1:13:47] can I don't
[1:13:51] since at 11:04 am um,
[1:13:57] I have not received those. So why don't we
[1:14:02] table this one for just a few minutes to make sure that everyone on the commission has
[1:14:06] a chance to see the specific, um, items. Then we can come
[1:14:10] back to it. And I know you have something at one 30, is that right? Commissioner franklin? That's
[1:14:15] correct. Okay. Well we will work to work around your, your one 30.
[1:14:19] alright, let's move on to case number 13.

[1:17:15] really drafting off of our, our prior phase and working with commissioner hampton. Uh, we're
[1:17:19] excited about, uh, the, the application in front of you today and adding to the old parkland,
[1:17:23] uh, campus and, uh, the betterment of the neighborhood. Uh, through that

[1:18:46] I move that we close the public hearing and approve,

[1:18:55] that is to go with the applicant's, um, recommendation on parking
[1:18:59] instead of staff. As a reminder, this is in pd 1 93.

[1:19:16] discussion? Yeah, I just wanna thank the applicant for working with
[1:19:20] us on some things that are, I think are gonna be really beneficial for this
[1:19:25] community. Um, one of the things that has been in the
[1:19:29] pipeline in this area for a while are improvements to maple avenue and some
[1:19:33] of the surrounding streets in that area is furtherance of our vision zero,
[1:19:38] um, initiative. And the applicant has
[1:19:42] graciously agreed, um, to work with transportation
[1:19:46] on some of the signals, uh, in that immediate area to their campus
[1:19:51] in order to provide some additional support for furthering
[1:19:55] the city's, um, vision in that area and hopefully improving
[1:20:00] the traffic flow and pedestrian facilities in
[1:20:04] that area. And I just wanna thank the applicant for doing that because these type of
[1:20:08] public, um, private, uh, collaborations
[1:20:13] is how we are able to move the city forward in a lot of different ways.
[1:20:17] and, uh, and I think that's an important aspect of, you know, what they're
[1:20:21] doing over at old parkland and in that area generally. Thank you.

[1:22:58] add cameras, lighting, uh, for protection and so on.
[1:23:02] um, they also have a, another store operating
[1:23:06] in dallas, so they have plenty of experience with this type of business
[1:23:11] and how to handle beer and wine and in, in conjunction with the

[1:24:59] new business. Prob more like maybe two years.

[1:27:16] existing business, but a new sup um, deep elm has a
[1:27:20] very robust process in place for evaluation of particularly
[1:27:25] new businesses to make sure that their operations are running and compatible
[1:27:30] with the robust number of suvs that they have within this area. I
[1:27:34] fully expect that as a good operator, they likely will be, we hope they

[1:32:35] to compliance with the condition listed in the docket or as amended at the
[1:32:39] hearing.
[1:32:45] alright, thank you mr. Board barr. Uh, we'll go to
[1:32:49] our public speaker on item number 26.
[1:32:53] yep, whenever you're ready ma'am. Hello,
[1:32:57] my name is dolores hodge and the records have me as dolores
[1:33:01] williams. Um, my address is 2228 sutherland
[1:33:06] avenue, of course, dallas 7 5 2 0 3.
[1:33:10] uh, actually, I, I checked on my card that I was opposed and
[1:33:14] simply because I don't really have enough information on
[1:33:18] this particular project, uh, when we have our meetings
[1:33:23] at the cedar crest country club, then
[1:33:28] it's one thing said, and then another thing, it has been developed and so when I
[1:33:32] received the notice, it will still again a different thing. So I was wondering
[1:33:36] if there was someone here on this issue
[1:33:40] that I could actually speak with that could actually say, oh, this is what it is. Because it,
[1:33:44] it continuously changes. So when we have the meetings,
[1:33:49] I'm really the only person who can speak because
[1:33:53] I live directly across from where the transition is taking place.
[1:33:58] so where I live, since it's a green belt in front of me
[1:34:02] and we would have a lot of animals coming out and things like that, well I was
[1:34:06] told that the entrance to the place
[1:34:11] was gonna be on one side and then I found out it's
[1:34:15] gonna be on another side and then I asked, well since it
[1:34:19] the line keeps moving on, you keep moving the goal then is it gonna be
[1:34:23] directly in front of me? So when it says three common areas,
[1:34:28] I actually didn't know like where that was going to take place.
[1:34:32] and I was under the impression since we had this meeting before they
[1:34:36] kept, you know, changing that right now the street
[1:34:41] that it's called the legends on key, it's being built
[1:34:45] now a key in sutherland at the end of my street. So
[1:34:49] it was supposed to be house houses, but then I see it coming
[1:34:53] up, it's probably about 70% complete, but they're not houses
[1:34:58] so I guess they're gonna do it on the other side. So the goal is keeps moving. So that's all I
[1:35:02] was wanted to ask, just for some clarification. If someone knows somebody who can tell me something
[1:35:06] other than our little sitting meeting that we're having, that was what I wanted
[1:35:10] to know. Thank you so much and I appreciate when you told the other
[1:35:14] gentleman, don't apologize, so I figured this is the city and you having good communication,
[1:35:18] so I don't apologize. But thank you so much for your time.
[1:35:23] thank you so much ma'am. Yeah. Any other speakers in on item number
[1:35:27] 26? Thank you. Ha ha.
[1:35:35] hi, I'm russell lyons, uh, with strand engineering 1 0 0 3 technology
[1:35:40] boulevard, west dallas, texas 7 5 2 2 0. Um,
[1:35:44] so this one is, is the northern section. I think the one you may be referring to is
[1:35:48] the southern portion, which is the pd. Okay, so the pd was the one
[1:35:53] that, you know, we've run street names by the community and we're trying to get everything.
[1:35:57] this one is just street zoning. Mm-hmm . So we're just going with the zoning that's already there. Mm-hmm
[1:36:01] um, these are gonna be houses. We're not, we're not doing apartments. I know they're doing apartments
[1:36:05] across the street, but that's not us. We're okay. We're sticking to what, you know, you've been shown
[1:36:09] in the community scene. Um, but the pd one will be later.
[1:36:14] I think that's item 32. Okay. So
[1:36:18] that one should match what you've seen. What you've seen, okay. Yes,
[1:36:23] I give results. Thank you. Yes ma'am. Thank you sir.

[1:41:06] okay, anyone else with comments? All those in favor say aye.
[1:41:10] aye. Any opposed? Say nay. Nay. The motion carries item number 30
[1:41:15] and there's been a request to have this brief, so let's have mr. Bogart go through that
[1:41:19] before we, um, call the case
[1:41:54] item number 30. Plat number 26 dash 0 0 1 6 3
[1:42:00] is an application to repl a 2.142 acre track of
[1:42:04] land containing all of lot four and five in
[1:42:08] city block m over 4 8 9 2 to create
[1:42:13] one 35,731 square
[1:42:17] feet lot and one 57,581
[1:42:21] square feet lot on property located on canyon drive at
[1:42:26] waga road southeast corner. 16
[1:42:30] notices were sent to the property owner within 200 feet of the property
[1:42:34] on july 6th, 2026. We have
[1:42:39] received zero replies in favor and five replies in opposition to this request.
[1:42:44] uh, a staff recommendation is approval subject to compliance with the condition listed
[1:42:48] in the docket or as amended at the hearing.
[1:42:53] the prop, the property on the corner of waga and canyon
[1:42:57] drive, uh, have a slow power of, uh,
[1:43:02] about 30 feet from, uh, uh, uh,
[1:43:06] dimension of, uh, elevation of 5 0 3 to
[1:43:11] 4 83. That
[1:43:15] would be more than 30 feet drop drop off. So what they're doing, they're
[1:43:19] adjusting the lot line between the lot four and five and giving
[1:43:24] more buildable area to lot four.
[1:43:28] uh,
[1:43:33] the, the surrounding
[1:43:37] area is starting from north of the property. We have
[1:43:42] lots 22,000 unchange, 45,073,000,
[1:43:48] 56,000, 54,000 to the south. We
[1:43:52] have 15,000, 17,000, 16,000 to
[1:43:56] the east. We have 35,000, 42,000, 38,000
[1:44:00] based on the variation of the lot sizes and, uh, different
[1:44:06] shape of the lots within the immediate area,
[1:44:10] a staff recommends that there there is no, um,
[1:44:14] that section 51 8 8 0.503, uh,
[1:44:19] be complies with that section. And there is no issue with
[1:44:23] the planning regulation no with the zoning regulation, therefore a staff
[1:44:27] recommends approval. Thank you so much mr. Bbar.
[1:44:33] I think you've read it in. So why don't we go to our public speakers. Are there any speakers in
[1:44:37] support? Mr. Baldwin?
[1:45:27] good afternoon. Afternoon, mr. Baldwin. My name's rob baldwin. I have 3 9 0 4
[1:45:32] elm street, suite b in dallas. Uh, I'm here representing the
[1:45:36] property owner on this
[1:45:42] and this is, this is up in bluff view.
[1:45:47] so as mr. Bbar said, it's pretty
[1:45:52] simple. So this is the, the properties
[1:45:56] it is today, both lots, lot four and lot five. Uh, lot four
[1:46:00] is in the green lot. Five of the proposed is in the blue. So
[1:46:04] that, that's what we're proposing. Uh, if
[1:46:08] you look really closely, you can see that there was original lot line, you
[1:46:12] follow the blue arrow down. So lot five and lot four were,
[1:46:17] um, basically, um, separate lots, uh,
[1:46:21] but lot five was a bigger building site
[1:46:25] back before, uh, current times. Uh,
[1:46:30] the city of dallas has let you build over lot lines and so what the
[1:46:34] previous property owner did was annex part of lot four into their, their
[1:46:39] build site and they built the house on that property. The purpose of this
[1:46:43] request is to actually move the original lot line
[1:46:48] east or southeast to match the building track line.
[1:46:52] so we have a a, a legal building site house under construction,
[1:46:57] um, but lot four doesn't is not a legal building site 'cause it
[1:47:01] is part of a lot now. So, um, the, the whole purpose of this is
[1:47:05] to move the actual lot line to meet the
[1:47:09] building site that has been historically at and and transferred in
[1:47:13] that configuration. Um, so there'll be a single family home built
[1:47:18] on each lot. Uh, I hope I made sense. I'm here to answer any questions you may have.
[1:47:22] thank you. Thank you mr. Baldwin. Any other speakers
[1:47:26] in support? We will go to our speakers in opposition.
[1:47:44] should have an opinion call.
[1:47:49] I think we have a presentation, so let me,
[1:47:57] and we have, hmm,
[1:48:07] yes sir.
[1:48:48] good to go. Thanks. Dallas crum, um,
[1:48:53] uh, 1431 west mockingbird, suite
[1:48:57] 1 0 7 west. Um, you know, I may from time to time
[1:49:01] have certain observations about the city of dallas, rarely am I here against things.
[1:49:06] um, but one thing the city of dallas does really well is subdivision stuff.
[1:49:10] they do it fast, which is unusual too. So this is an effort
[1:49:14] I think to ask forgiveness for. And you'll hear from the neighbors for
[1:49:18] sort of some egregious not getting drainage and paving and 8.503,
[1:49:24] I, I don't disagree with mr. Boro guard about it meets the math,
[1:49:28] but if you read after that, the pattern already established
[1:49:32] in the adjacent area is having due regard to the character of the a area.
[1:49:37] its particular, particular suitability for development and in taking
[1:49:41] into consideration the natural topography of the ground, drainage,
[1:49:46] et cetera. So the first part of this, they probably meet the math
[1:49:51] part that there's a variety of shapes and a lot of lots, but what they're
[1:49:55] doing here is, you know, changing the nature. I think most people know
[1:49:59] this was a dairy farm, which is kind of cool and you know,
[1:50:03] most of the lots are one acre and, and it, and you
[1:50:07] know, like one history that says lot character trees setback, privacy
[1:50:11] are what define this area. That's what makes bluff view,
[1:50:15] bluff view and the bluff. They have really removed the bluff
[1:50:20] by their, you know, going out and, and just scraping
[1:50:24] the site, uh, without, at the time all the right permits,
[1:50:28] um, to the point that they have created something that wouldn't otherwise
[1:50:33] be there. I mean my, I think what defines bluff view and that neighbor,
[1:50:37] that neighborhood is the natural space is what defines it and makes
[1:50:41] its character, not the structures. This would be fine. Like in vent tree,
[1:50:46] you know, big house and a big lot they're creating as mr. Burgart, he got this,
[1:50:50] that part, right? For sure they are creating a larger building site and
[1:50:54] they've done it by digging into the bluff and the slope to create a much larger
[1:50:58] site. To have a much larger house. And they've also, we'll
[1:51:02] show you, I mean this is kind of the nature of, you know, you go out to bluff view, you can't
[1:51:06] see the houses until you're on the lot. In many cases we're gonna have a big
[1:51:11] suburban style, you know, development. So here, you, you know, here
[1:51:16] I think this exhibit shows what they're doing and then they've created in that
[1:51:20] blue area a lot more buildable space. So
[1:51:24] they're changing the nature of the site and making it much larger than
[1:51:28] what otherwise would be there. So this isn't like, oh, we got an older home
[1:51:32] and we're just gonna replace it with a similar newer home. It's different site. Um,
[1:51:36] I mean, and here I'll show you some pictures. I think the neighbors will show you more. There
[1:51:41] were, I, I I mean hundreds of dump trucks taking this
[1:51:45] site down, creating this very large pla so that's when I said
[1:51:49] at the beginning, they're asking for permission now after
[1:51:53] that's your time, you know, uh, my colleague will finish for us, but I'm
[1:51:57] happy to stay and answer questions too. Next speaker.
[1:52:06] hello, crystal limas 1341 west mockingbird lane,
[1:52:11] suite 1 0 7 west, uh, dallas, texas 7 5 2 4 7.
[1:52:17] um, I think as dr. Cothran was talking about, they're taking the bluff out of
[1:52:22] bluff view. I think there was a lot of due diligence that wasn't done beforehand, especially
[1:52:26] for this major remodel. Uh, the proposed pla conflicts
[1:52:30] with the intent and the purpose of the dallas development code by failing to respect the
[1:52:35] established neighborhood. Its natural topography, the pattern, its character,
[1:52:40] um, its inconsistency to preserve its natural character, the terrains,
[1:52:44] the trees, the landscape, and has already made significant
[1:52:49] alterations that have already occurred
[1:52:53] here. We can see the before and after of the
[1:52:57] existing subject site where the single car driveway that is off of
[1:53:02] tu waga road and now it has been widened
[1:53:06] for construction access. And this is the blue area that was highlighted
[1:53:10] in the terrain. Now long
[1:53:14] canyon drive the slope as well. Um, you could see the slope,
[1:53:19] the drainage that goes, falls into waga road, but those mature trees have
[1:53:23] also been removed. And the elevation
[1:53:27] change of the fire hydrant, the grading, that was completely done beforehand.
[1:53:32] I think there is a lot of, um, this is one of the stages having
[1:53:36] the plat development done, is there are several other development
[1:53:40] stages that are in the future. So this is something that due
[1:53:45] diligence is gonna have to be really respectful and have to be
[1:53:49] considered. Again, we have the drainage, the slope that is going
[1:53:53] down into waga road and site
[1:53:57] grading. I think these are a couple of videos
[1:54:15] and you can see the drastic gray change that is happening on site.
[1:54:28] and for the next video, not only are they making altering
[1:54:32] their site, they're also altering the neighbor across the street
[1:54:37] where the subject property sits at a higher elevation.
[1:54:54] and I think it's more, the more than simply drawing new lot lines of phases of
[1:54:58] construction that will take place. It's increasing the building footprint on a corner lot
[1:55:02] and corner laws are more visible and contribute to the street
[1:55:06] scape, especially with two frontages for the subject property. That's your time. Thank
[1:55:10] you. Alright, next speaker and opposition.
[1:55:25] good afternoon. I'm steve byers. I live at 44 30 wildwood road.
[1:55:29] I'm a runner. I run by the house every day. I walk my dog by this house
[1:55:33] and this property every day. I know it very well. I I wanna thank all the
[1:55:37] people that are here for trying to help dallas be a better place. I know your time
[1:55:42] is valuable and I'll try and be succinct. Um, I represent over
[1:55:46] 20 neighbors who found out about this hearing, but were unable to make it and knew I
[1:55:50] was gonna be here and says, please speak for us. And I can tell you within the neighborhood,
[1:55:54] we are united and all of the people in bluff view are opposed to this project.
[1:55:59] we all assume a degree of responsibility when we do a construction
[1:56:03] project in a neighborhood. It can disrupt a neighborhood, it can disrupt privacy
[1:56:08] of neighbors, it can do a lot of things that are negative. There's a positive outcome many
[1:56:12] times, but only when you work with your fellow neighbors, only when you communicate,
[1:56:16] you work with them. This did not happen in this case.
[1:56:21] I think it's appropriate that the owners of this property are not here today. They're never
[1:56:25] available. They were never available to us. They never, they hid behind
[1:56:30] the project. You couldn't get through the dump trucks that were going to destroy this
[1:56:34] prop, this property. You couldn't find a way to contact them.
[1:56:38] you still can't. There were never postings to find out who was doing this.
[1:56:43] just suddenly I couldn't, I couldn't go by the property. There were so
[1:56:47] many dump trucks taking this property down 20 feet or more of hard
[1:56:51] rock, removing mature trees. The destruction is
[1:56:55] a moral crime. If you've ever been to bluff view, you know how
[1:56:59] bluff view is unique. It has changing topography unique to dallas,
[1:57:04] lots of mature trees. We live in a house that's over a hundred years old.
[1:57:08] our house is only remarkable because barney, the purple dinosaurs cra live
[1:57:13] there. Originally this property was unique because it's had anybody from
[1:57:17] paul mccartney's family spent a summer there to a lot of other folks like the cast of dallas
[1:57:21] and other folks. It was a unique property that's been destroyed. We
[1:57:25] don't trust this owner to go further because of what they've done
[1:57:29] so far. How can we trust them to maintain the neighborhood
[1:57:33] of bluff view and how special it really is to the city of dallas
[1:57:38] if they continue to go forward? They have not earned that trust for
[1:57:42] us. Hopefully they haven't earned it with you guys. Um,
[1:57:46] I really hope that the commission and I know you are here to try and protect
[1:57:50] dallas and look after its best interests. Here is an opportunity
[1:57:54] to do exactly that and save the neighborhood of bluff u and its
[1:57:59] special characteristics. Thank you.
[1:58:05] next speaker.
[1:58:14] hi, I am haley ow at 48 0 7 west lovers lane.
[1:58:19] good afternoon. Bluff view is one of dallas's most unique natural landscapes
[1:58:23] for generations. It has been defined by its dramatic topography, matri, mature
[1:58:28] trees, wildlife in historical significance. It has been
[1:58:32] home to great horned dows, red-tailed hawks, and many other protected
[1:58:36] species while serving as a natural buffer for our neighborhood
[1:58:40] today. All of that has been destroyed. Beginning in november, mature
[1:58:44] trees were not marked and were ripped out with excavation
[1:58:48] in march and only left a few standing to this day,
[1:58:53] many of them have exposed roots, dying trees and nearly 50 foot trees
[1:58:57] leaning toward homes in power lines, creating safety
[1:59:01] concerns. A landscape that took generations to form has
[1:59:05] been altered in just months. In early march, excavation
[1:59:10] happened in more than a thousand rock trucks lined the roads to remove
[1:59:14] material from a neighborhood where large trucks are restricted to 2000
[1:59:18] pounds, 2000 tons except for deliveries
[1:59:23] hard, fast, and do not get caught. Approach to my understanding,
[1:59:28] required permits were not obtained before this work began. City rules
[1:59:32] require permitting for excavation of four feet or more. Yet
[1:59:36] there was between anywhere from 10 to 15 feet minimum
[1:59:41] of, of earth removed off of the top layer on
[1:59:45] the property as a whole, which I am sure is different than what was
[1:59:49] presented in the original paperwork. Since the excavation began,
[1:59:53] we have seen changes that have never be occurred before.
[1:59:57] the trees, the vegetation that once absorbed, the rainfall
[2:00:02] has been removed, leaving exposed clay and increased runoff.
[2:00:06] the results are already visible. The erosion failing streets,
[2:00:11] broken asphalt and increased flooding risk for nearby
[2:00:15] homes. One home has already experienced water entering
[2:00:19] its attached garage and bluff. You did not have these issues
[2:00:23] before. Bluff you's beauty and privacy comes from
[2:00:27] its natural terrain. Replacing that with a bare concrete house
[2:00:32] will increase the heat, threaten remaining vegetation and permanently
[2:00:36] change this neighborhood. I ask that you not rely on reports
[2:00:41] and drawings. Please come walk the property, see the damage, the erosion,
[2:00:45] and talk to more of the residents experiencing these impacts firsthand.
[2:00:50] the reality on the ground tells a different story than what the paperwork will
[2:00:54] show. I ask for a full transparent, independent review
[2:00:58] of what has occurred and the long-term impact of, of bluff view
[2:01:03] in all of its residents. Bluff view is more than a development site. It
[2:01:07] is an irreplaceable part of dallas's natural heritage.
[2:01:11] once it is gone, it cannot be restored. Please do not approve
[2:01:15] this project until the full impact that's has been properly evaluated.
[2:01:19] the landscape architect is no longer on's your time, project your time. Don't you find that
[2:01:24] questionable? Thank. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker.
[2:01:34] good afternoon. My name is carolyn blankenship coleman. I'm a native dallasite
[2:01:38] and I live directly across from this property. I respectfully oppose
[2:01:43] the proposed property line adjustment because I believe it's inconsistent with the
[2:01:47] character of bluff view and the, and the protection of the
[2:01:51] natural environment. For these reasons, I respectfully as the commission to deny this request.
[2:01:56] I have provided a handout with photographs comparing the property's
[2:02:00] condition when it was marketed for sale to its current state. Along with the
[2:02:05] prior and current surveys. These materials show significant changes that
[2:02:09] have occurred. The survey maps applied by the owner, which is labeled
[2:02:13] current, reflects topography conditions created
[2:02:17] after sub substantial grading and excavation has already
[2:02:21] occurred. This work was done without a city permit and does not
[2:02:26] represent the property's natural state at the time of the purchase. The hill on canyon
[2:02:31] reflects the original elevation, yet the hill has been lowered approximately
[2:02:36] 10 to 14 feet. These altered conditions should
[2:02:40] not be treated and accepted simply because they appear on the applicant's
[2:02:44] survey. In recent months, the neighborhood has experienced extensive excavation.
[2:02:49] approximately a thousand trips from 18 wheeler, rock trucks
[2:02:53] remove dirt and stone from the site along with dust, noise
[2:02:57] and removal. About a hundred trees causing major terrain
[2:03:01] changes. These activities have already created viable erosion
[2:03:06] and damage along canyon drive and have placed significant stress on
[2:03:10] nearby trees, wildlife, and the surrounding natural environment.
[2:03:15] bluff view is defined by its natural bluffs, creeks, mature trees,
[2:03:20] wildlife, and rolling terrain. Expanding the property to create
[2:03:24] a flatter, larger building site is inconsistent with the character
[2:03:28] of bluff view in risks, further damage in the natural terrain,
[2:03:32] mature trees, disturbing wildlife habitat, and reducing the
[2:03:36] environmental protections that make this neighborhood unique. These lots
[2:03:41] are bordered by a natural ravine on the backside that serves
[2:03:45] as a drainage corridor and provides important habitat for
[2:03:49] wildlife. Altering this terrain in this area has the potential to
[2:03:53] affect natural water flow disturb wildlife habitat,
[2:03:57] increase erosion and diminish environmental features that define
[2:04:02] bluff view itself. Plans appear to include a larger
[2:04:06] residence, guest house and tennis court, which will require further grading
[2:04:10] to increase a level in level pad in court. Increasing
[2:04:15] these negative impacts. Such changes are
[2:04:19] inconsistent with bluff use, natural character and rolling terrain.
[2:04:24] for these reasons are, uh, respectfully ask the commission to deny the
[2:04:28] request for the property aligned adjustment if this commission
[2:04:33] nevertheless approves the request. I was respectfully your time. It
[2:04:37] clearly states that the approval is only limited solely to the boundary
[2:04:42] and not the topographical survey. Thank you. Next speaker.
[2:04:56] hi, my name is charles nuff. I live at 87 32 canyon drive,
[2:05:00] uh, directly north of the property. 20 years ago, we bought a little
[2:05:04] 1940s house in bluff view because of its natural beauty and the
[2:05:09] wonderful neighbors. This is not about the neighborhood
[2:05:13] telling the owners what and how they should build. It's about following
[2:05:18] the proper permit process and filing the correct permits.
[2:05:22] the owners knew from the beginning if they properly presented what they had planned
[2:05:26] to do, the city would have denied the permits. The
[2:05:30] owners also tried to impose a gag order in an nda when
[2:05:35] a neighbor tried to get them to pay for the damage to her property. If
[2:05:39] she had signed this nda, she would not be able to talk or
[2:05:43] speak today about the repl. Why did the owners try to impose this
[2:05:47] gag order? What are they trying to hide when filing the
[2:05:51] initial permit? The owners completely misrepresented
[2:05:55] what was actually going to be done to the property. Would the city have
[2:06:00] actually approved the removal of 25,000 cubic yards of
[2:06:05] soil and destruction of the bluff? In bluff view? I don't think
[2:06:09] so. Would the city have allowed the owner to cut down numerous large
[2:06:14] old growth trees without an inventory of the existing tree
[2:06:18] types and sizes? I doubt it.
[2:06:22] what is the true intent of the owners wanting to replant
[2:06:26] this? Why are the owners trying to change the property lines
[2:06:30] by increasing the size of one lot and decreasing the size of the other lot?
[2:06:35] why are the owners not combining the two lots into a single parcel,
[2:06:39] which is how they've treated this from the very beginning, given
[2:06:43] the owner's lack of transparency in the permitting process,
[2:06:48] I strongly urge you the city planning commission to reject and oppose
[2:06:53] the pro repl. Thank you for your consideration.
[2:06:58] other speakers in opposition here in person? I think we have a
[2:07:02] few signed up online or any of them online. Charles
[2:07:07] nuff? Yes. Oh, I'm sorry, what
[2:07:11] was the question? Oh, uh, you were signed up to speak online, but you just spoke in person.
[2:07:15] scott mcneil. Okay.
[2:07:20] I believe you try to do it online. Yep, we're going to him online.
[2:07:28] mr. Mcneil, are you there?
[2:07:33] scott mcneil?
[2:07:37] okay, I think we heard from carolyn blankenship coleman
[2:07:42] and mr. Cothran and steve byers. Haley
[2:07:46] banta. Oh great. That's you. Alright, uh, mr. Mcneil,
[2:07:52] one more time. Are you there? We'd be happy to hear from you if you're there.
[2:07:57] okay, we will move on to mr. Baldwin for a two minute rebuttal.
[2:08:05] good afternoon. Um, I agree that bluff you is a very special
[2:08:09] place and but what we're talking about here today
[2:08:13] is does it make sense for the, the commission
[2:08:18] to approve the cha moving of a lot line to match the
[2:08:22] way the property's actually been used for the last 40 years
[2:08:26] or so? That is the established pattern of the neighborhood, the current
[2:08:31] building site and the secondary lot. That's what we're asking
[2:08:36] for today. Um, I've not been involved with any of the permitting, don't know what that's,
[2:08:40] what's involved with that, but I do know that going through the plating
[2:08:44] process does put the proper under more scrutiny, meaning we have to turn in full
[2:08:48] engineering plans, water and sewer plans, paving and drainage plans that have
[2:08:52] to be approved and enforced by the city. So I
[2:08:56] think if the neighbors are looking for environmental protection, going through the pla process is the
[2:09:00] right way to do it. Uh, and I'm here to answer any questions you may have. Thank you.
[2:09:04] thank you. Mr. Baldwin. Commissioner
[2:09:09] hall, do you have a motion?
[2:09:14] uh oh. Mr. Chairman, may I have a moment to confer with
[2:09:18] you and perhaps our legal counsel on this? Why don't we take
[2:09:23] a five minute break? Thank you.
[2:09:28] all right, let's, uh, go back on
[2:09:32] the record. It is now two 15 commissioners. If we could all take
[2:09:37] our seats.
[2:09:43] it is now 2:16 pm and we are back on the record.
[2:09:48] we're on case number 30 and we will go to commissioner hall for a motion.
[2:09:58] okay. Uh, thank you mr. Chair and thank you for the the time to confer.
[2:10:03] um, in the matter of plat 26 0 0 0 1 63.
[2:10:10] I move to close the public hearing and follow staff's recommendations of approval
[2:10:14] for the repl of the subject property subject to conditions
[2:10:18] listed in the docket. And if I get a second, I have a few comments
[2:10:22] to make. Thank you. Vice chair herbert for your second, your comments. Commissioner hall?
[2:10:27] yeah. Thank you mr. Chair. Uh, this is a total blindside
[2:10:31] to me. I hope you guys understand that by state law we are limited
[2:10:36] to what we can discuss regarding plat cases.
[2:10:40] uh, this, this, this is all new because this is
[2:10:44] a plat. I could not and cannot dig into this case
[2:10:49] as I would for a zoning change. We
[2:10:54] simply just cannot discuss and we generally have to follow by
[2:10:58] state law staff's recommendations. Our role today
[2:11:02] is to vote on the repl, not to address the demolition destruction
[2:11:06] of the land alteration, lack of permits, and so
[2:11:10] forth. That will be done, uh, by engineering.
[2:11:15] uh, this is a preliminary plat. In order
[2:11:20] to get the final approval of the plat, it has to go through a bunch of in, in
[2:11:24] engineering evaluations, landscape and so forth. The issues
[2:11:28] you bring up here today will be addressed in that process,
[2:11:33] not by this repl. So therefore, I, uh, have
[2:11:37] to recommend approval and, uh, the commission
[2:11:41] will have to vote on that. Thank you, mr. Chair.
[2:11:45] thank you commissioners. Additional discussion. Commissioner hampton.
[2:11:50] thank you mr. Chair. I do wanna acknowledge everyone who came
[2:11:54] down here to speak. As commissioner hall has mentioned, we are limited
[2:11:59] in what we're able to consider, um, the information that was circulated in,
[2:12:03] um, the testimony. We are, uh, we, we do have the provisions of
[2:12:07] 51 a, um, 8.503 in considering lots. But
[2:12:12] most of the items, um, that I heard regarding access regarding
[2:12:16] tree removal, um, those are implications that
[2:12:20] are outside of the consideration of this body, unfortunately,
[2:12:25] and I do hope that there is more robust engagement as
[2:12:29] this goes through the other city departments. Um, we hear
[2:12:33] you, but unfortunately we do not have a lot of, um,
[2:12:37] leeway in these considerations. Thank you, mr. Chair.
[2:12:41] commissioner willer, reagan, I confer with, um, everything
[2:12:46] that my other, um, commissioners have said and these items that we
[2:12:50] might not discuss there. You have to go through other avenues within the city
[2:12:54] that can address that right now,
[2:12:58] um, and use those tools when those things happening in your community
[2:13:02] that is not addressed, that, that you believe is illegal. Um,
[2:13:07] and you have to go through those avenues such as 3 1 1 in your council district
[2:13:14] commissioner's. Additional discussion. Um, I'll, I'll
[2:13:18] just speak for a moment on this. I, I do want acknowledge the,
[2:13:23] um, neighbors who have come down. Um, our
[2:13:27] authority when it comes to plats is really looking at some very
[2:13:31] narrow items, whether it's met state law requirements
[2:13:35] for platting as well as whether it's met the city
[2:13:39] code requirements for plating. Um, there are things that were brought
[2:13:43] up today that sound like they could be very valid concerns in the part
[2:13:47] of the neighbors, but we're not here to, um,
[2:13:51] ultimately under our limited platting authority to look at, um,
[2:13:56] those issues. For example, whether proper permits were pulled or not.
[2:14:00] um, that does not give us a basis to approve
[2:14:04] or deny a plat that is for, um, code
[2:14:08] compliance and the, the building official to look at.
[2:14:13] and additionally, some of the
[2:14:17] engineering and other things like that, which are again, very important aren't
[2:14:21] for our consideration at this preliminary plat stage.
[2:14:26] um, I, I understand I, you know, sometimes wish we could take into
[2:14:30] account the entirety of a development, everything that's come before or after, but we
[2:14:34] really, we are very limited in what we look at here in terms of platting
[2:14:38] as to the state law and the 8.503 standard. And I'll add on 8.503,
[2:14:43] which is our standard for lot size. The primary, primary
[2:14:47] consideration there is the pattern already established in adjacent areas
[2:14:52] and the remaining things about character suitability for development
[2:14:56] topography, those are subordinate considerations to
[2:15:00] the pattern. The pattern based on the way that it's directed is our primary consideration.
[2:15:05] and this does fit it within the pattern and questions
[2:15:09] about character and, and other issues, unfortunately, or,
[2:15:13] you know, don't we, we don't have free wide ranging discretion under 8.503.
[2:15:18] it is hemmed then pretty narrowly. So again, I, I
[2:15:22] don't want to, I, I can't, you know,
[2:15:26] ultimately determine that the truth of some of the things that the neighbors have said
[2:15:30] today about the lack of permits or other issues there.
[2:15:34] um, they sound like very important concerns, but they're ultimately ones that, uh, do need
[2:15:39] to be addressed in a different forum other than the plan commission. So we
[2:15:43] do need to, I, I do believe that we're compelled under state law in the city code to
[2:15:47] approve this plot today. Um, but I would encourage you to look to those other forums
[2:15:51] to, um, raise those concerns that you've addressed. So I will
[2:15:55] be supporting the motion. Any other discussion? Seeing
[2:16:00] none. We have a motion by commissioner hall, seconded by the vice chair to
[2:16:04] follow staff information of approval subject to compliance with conditions listed with docket.
[2:16:08] all those in favor say aye. Any opposed? Saying nay. The motion
[2:16:13] carries item 31. Item 31
[2:16:17] plat 26 dash 0 1 66
[2:16:22] is an application to repl a 5.851 acre track
[2:16:26] of land containing all of lot one in city block

[2:16:56] drive. 60. Notices were sent to the property owner within 200
[2:17:00] feet of the property on july 6th, 2026.
[2:17:05] we have received two replies in favor and zero reply
[2:17:09] to opposition to this request. A staff recommendation is, uh,
[2:17:15] approval subject to compliance with the condition listed in the docket or as amended
[2:17:19] at the hearing. Okay. Thank you mr. Board barr, do
[2:17:23] we have any speakers on item number 31?
[2:17:27] okay, seeing none, commissioner wheel. Reagan, do you have a motion? I
[2:17:32] I do in the matter of plat dash 26
[2:17:36] dash 0 0 0 1 6 6. I move to close of public
[2:17:40] hearing and follow staff recommendation of approval subject to the compliance
[2:17:44] with the list, with the conditions listed in the docket. Great. Thank
[2:17:48] you. Commissioner wheeler reagan for your motion. Vice chair for your second. Any discussion?

[2:19:24] this request. A staff recommendation is approval subject
[2:19:28] to compliance with the condition listed in the docket or as amended at the hearing.
[2:19:34] any speakers on item number 32?
[2:19:49] is your microphone on? I don't,
[2:19:56] can you, can you turn your microphone on and repeat what you just said? Oh, sorry. Russell lyons
[2:20:01] with strand engineering, um, 1 0 0 3 technology boulevard,
[2:20:05] west dallas, texas 7 5 2 2 0. Um, I'd be happy
[2:20:09] to answer any questions you all may have on this project. Thanks. Thank
[2:20:13] you. Are there any other speakers on this item? One
[2:20:17] across , right? Yes, ma'am. Okay. Got the right one.
[2:20:30] I tried this again. Dolores hodge, 2228 sutherland
[2:20:34] avenue, dallas, texas 7 5 2 0 3.
[2:20:39] now I live directly across from this property that's being
[2:20:43] developed and uh, russell did talk to me to tell
[2:20:47] me some more information about it and then I did hear
[2:20:51] what it said that there were eight in favor and then zero opposed.
[2:20:56] I don't know how mine got missed, but okay. But I oppose it and I'll do
[2:21:00] a new, a new slip as well. But, uh, listening
[2:21:04] to how it's being developed and where
[2:21:08] I live on lot eight h mark
[2:21:12] cuban is lot g he, so we're connected.
[2:21:17] so since we're connected and it's being developed,
[2:21:22] and, and I know this because it's right in, in front of me, that
[2:21:27] apparently something is being done to the trees to, to start to get them to,
[2:21:31] you know, lay down or whatever, to develop the area.
[2:21:35] but it's done in a manner in which
[2:21:40] that does not really promote transparency because like
[2:21:44] I said, I live across the street from it and, but I'm,
[2:21:48] I'm, I'm gonna be more inclined to go ahead and speak with russell,
[2:21:53] uh, aside from the board to get more clarification. I was, but
[2:21:57] I was told, but he just told me different. So I was told
[2:22:01] that the entrance would be, if I'm standing here, it would be where,
[2:22:05] um, colin is, colin kun is,
[2:22:10] but now I'm being told it's no that the opening will be like where
[2:22:14] it says liliana. So it's more closer to me than it is
[2:22:18] away from me. So when I was saying earlier how it keeps moving,
[2:22:22] it's, it's just not consistent, so you can approve it if you want.
[2:22:27] I'm just saying that it just, it just doesn't
[2:22:31] promote transparency. But I, I, like I said, I look forward to working with them, so I
[2:22:35] don't want to just like, oh, I don't want it because I do know the city of dallas does need housing.
[2:22:40] a lot of different things happen, but we know if,
[2:22:44] because I worked for the state of texas before, if we don't
[2:22:48] say anything then you don't know. So thank you for your time and
[2:22:52] I'd be happy to answer any questions. I'm like you russell . Thank you.
[2:22:58] no, thank you. Alright,
[2:23:03] any other speakers on item number 32? Okay.
[2:23:07] commissioner gilbert, gil gilbert smith, do you have a motion

[2:25:51] less than required by zoning regulation be contrary to the public

[2:31:26] b in the landscaping section. Thank
[2:31:30] you commissioner franken for your motion. Commissioner carpenter for your second
[2:31:34] ms. Morrison. Does that cover all the perfect. Alright,
[2:31:39] uh, any comments? Commissioner franklin? Uh,
[2:31:43] no. Nothing other than, uh, wanted to thank, uh, mr. Martinez, uh, for
[2:31:48] his work. It's been a couple of months, but I think we finally got it there and over the finish line. I
[2:31:52] appreciate it. Great. Any other comments? Commissioner hampton?
[2:31:56] just one question with the, um, sup for the temporary batch plant
[2:32:00] that will be submitted at a later date, is that correct?
[2:32:04] that's correct. If the app or if the property owner. Or property owner, yeah, it
[2:32:08] was, the conditions carried over the old language we used with special authorization by the building
[2:32:13] official. Uh, we've since moved on from using that language and we uses now. Yep.
[2:32:17] thank you for the clarification. Thank you mr. Chair. Okay. Commissioner
[2:32:22] willie reagan, um, on the change of the caliber of the trees
[2:32:26] by any chance is, is there, was there any consideration or
[2:32:31] did it show whether utilities are located on the property
[2:32:35] or if those utilities are underground? That might cause the, uh, the
[2:32:39] caliber of trees to um, not be able to comply with the,
[2:32:44] with the terms? 'cause if
[2:32:48] it's, if there is overhead utilities,
[2:32:52] those might have to be placed throughout the property. Other places where a lower,
[2:32:56] uh, smaller caliber trees would be, um, in
[2:33:00] place along where those utilities are at, uh,
[2:33:04] those particular conditions were not, uh, considered. But I'll allow mr. Martinez just
[2:33:08] opine. Um, thank you mr. Chairman. Uh, santos
[2:33:13] martinez 24 89. Camille , northeast rio rancho, new mexico 8 7 1 4 4.
[2:33:17] those provisions are already in article 10. If there are conflicts with, uh,
[2:33:21] utilities, uh, a different location needs to be proposed for those trees. But
[2:33:26] I will say for the record, there are no utilities on the lot today. It's, uh, 50 acres
[2:33:30] of vacant land. If anything, there might be, um, on the perimeter,
[2:33:34] but I think it's across the street. There are, there's nothing servicing the property today.
[2:33:38] mm-hmm um, but in the event that utilities do come in, article 10 does have provisions
[2:33:43] of either relocation or looking at a smaller tree that the arborist can, uh,
[2:33:47] recommend so that the standards are still met. Um, so one concern is,
[2:33:51] is that because we're creating a landscape plan within this instead of de
[2:33:55] we're deviating from article 10, is that anywhere that, if that is the provision
[2:33:59] that we put that into this, into this, um, today
[2:34:04] 'cause we're deviating from article 10 and creating a landscape plan.
[2:34:09] uh, just to chime in some de just to chime in with some detail there, uh, there isn't a landscape
[2:34:13] plan associated with this, um, pd at this time. It's just the landscaping standards.
[2:34:18] um, I read of the standards here is that they are pretty broad in terms of the sighting of the trees.
[2:34:22] uh, I think that would provide the needed flexibility between that and standard interpretation of
[2:34:26] landscaping at permitting, uh, to deal with utility conflicts as they come up.
[2:34:31] okay. It's pretty broad. It's really just, you know, site trees
[2:34:35] based on a certain square footage, street yard landscaping where again, it just has to be within
[2:34:39] the street yard, which is defined in the pd, um, as well as landscape buffers
[2:34:44] and parking lot buffers and for the parking lot buffers, a lot of that is just shrubbery
[2:34:48] actually. Okay. Any other discussion?
[2:34:54] alright, we have a motion by commissioner franklin,
[2:34:58] seconded by commissioner carpenter. All those in favor say
[2:35:03] aye. Any opposed, say nay. The motion carries. I think I'll
[2:35:07] recognize commissioner hampton for a motion for reconsideration on item number 16.
[2:35:11] thank you mr. Chair in the matter of z dash 26
[2:35:15] dash 0 0 0 1 3 3. I move to reconsider
[2:35:20] the case. Okay, do we have second? Do we have a second? Uh, thank you vice chair
[2:35:24] herbert for your second. I don't believe this is debatable so we will
[2:35:28] just take a vote on it. All those in favor say aye.
[2:35:33] any opposed, say nay. The motion carries. So can you read the case
[2:35:37] back in 16?
[2:35:43] it's case number 16 1 6. We oh, we
[2:35:47] don't need to read it back in, right back to her.
[2:35:51] okay. We'll go back to commissioner hampton for a motion on case 16. Thank you.
[2:35:55] and I, well thank you in the
[2:36:00] matter of z dash 26 0 0 0 1 3 3.
[2:36:04] I move to close a public hearing and approve, um, the request,

[2:36:34] you for your motion. Commissioner hampton, commissioner kaufman for your second,
[2:36:39] your comments and I apologize to my commissioners. These are the,
[2:36:44] um, conditions that were circulated earlier. I missed including the
[2:36:48] hours of operation in the record in my original motion and, um,
[2:36:52] would ask for your support. Thank you. Any further discussion?
[2:36:56] seeing none. All those in favor say aye. Any opposed, say nay. The motion carries.
[2:37:00] we will go to our thorough fair plan amendments. Item 36,
[2:37:12] an amendment to the city of dallas thorough fair plan to change the designation

[2:37:21] east of mountain creek parkway and maryfield road from a standard six
[2:37:25] lane divided principal arterial roadway and 107 feet of right of way
[2:37:29] to a minimum four lane divided minor arterial railway in
[2:37:33] 80 feet of rightway staff recommends approval to amend the designation
[2:37:38] of grady number road between 3,650 feet east of

[2:38:50] housewright for your second. Any discussion? I'm gonna
[2:38:54] make a comment on this one. I am really thrilled to see this thoroughfare plan
[2:38:58] amendment. Um, the three six lane
[2:39:02] divided roadway had created all sorts of
[2:39:07] challenges in the past, um, with respect to what could be developed
[2:39:11] in the area with the need to put in that much, um,
[2:39:15] that many lanes, um, in the area and led to, you know, some
[2:39:19] zoning cases in the past that I think were very challenging
[2:39:23] and frequently people would point to the thoroughfare plan as the reason why those cases
[2:39:27] are so challenging. So I'm happy to see this right sized and look forward
[2:39:32] to see what happens in the area moving forward. Any other discussion?
