Property located at 1501 S Ballard Avenue. (ZC 2024-09). ] REGULAR AGENDA. ITEM NUMBER ONE. HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING. CONSIDER AND ACT UPON A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL REGARDING THE WRITING OF AN ORDINANCE FOR A CHANGE IN ZONING FROM NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES AND S TO NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES. SPECIAL USE PERMIT IN SUPP ON 1.38 ACRES TO ALLOW FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE FUELING STATION WITH CONVENIENCE STORE USE. PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1501 SOUTH BALLARD AVENUE. SEC. 2020 4-09. GABBY, CAN YOU TURN THIS? THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER. THE APPLICANT, AS STATED, IS REQUESTING AN SUPP FOR BASICALLY A GAS STATION AND CONVENIENCE STORE LOCATED ON THE SOUTH EAST CORNER OF BALLARD AND ALAN EAST. THE HOURS OF OPERATION FOR THE SUPP LIMIT THE BUILDING TO OPERATION HOURS OF 5 A.M. TO MIDNIGHT, MONDAY OR SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, AND THEN 5 A.M. TO 1 A.M. ON SATURDAY. THAT'S THE CONVENIENCE STORE OR ANY OF THE ATTACHED BUSINESSES. THE FUEL PUMPS WOULD BE ACCESSIBLE 24 HOURS A DAY, EVERY DAY. THAT'S PART OF THE SUPP CONDITIONS. THE ZONING EXHIBIT DOES INCLUDE THE DEVELOPMENT OF 6500FT■!S FOR A MULTI-TENANT, MULTI-TENANT BUILDING. HAS ALL THE PARKING REQUIRED, FIRE LANES, AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT SHOW THE FEASIBILITY OF THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER, THIS IS JUST A ZONING REQUEST AT THIS POINT. IF THE ZONING IS APPROVED, A SITE PLAN AND PLAT WILL BE REQUIRED. WE SENT OUT NOTICES TO SIX PROPERTY OWNERS AS REQUIRED. THAT'S EVERYBODY WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS. THAT'S 200FT WITHIN THIS PROPERTY. WITHIN THAT NOTIFICATION WE ZONE, WE RECEIVED FOUR NOTIFICATIONS AGAINST. WE RECEIVED TWO OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS THAT ARE JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF BALLARD. ALSO AGAINST. AND THEN WE HAVE RECEIVED 28 OTHER NOTIFICATION COMMENTS AGAINST THESE ARE OUTSIDE THE NOTIFICATION AREA. BUT BASICALLY IN THE SOMEBODY CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, STONE RANCH SUBDIVISION THAT IS CATTY CORNER FROM THIS PARTICULAR PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. THE APPLICANT IS HERE THIS EVENING AND WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION, IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT, MR. CHAIRMAN. SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. ALL RIGHT. IF YOU CAN STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS WHEN YOU COME UP. YEAH, JUST INTO [00:05:04] TOWN. YEAH. UP AND DOWN. GOOD EVENING. COMMISSIONER. MY NAME IS KEITH CAMP WITH TRIANGLE ENGINEERING. 1782 WEST MCDERMOTT DRIVE, ALLEN, TEXAS. I'M THE APPLICANT AND REPRESENTING A DEVELOPER OF THE GAS STATION. YOU KNOW, JUST SOMETHING THAT WE PUT TOGETHER FOR THE PRESENTATION FOR TONIGHT. SO. LET ME GO HERE. ALL RIGHT. THIS SHOWS THE LOCATION MAP OF THE PROPOSED GAS STATION. WE ARE LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER. AND WE HAVE DONE OUR RESEARCH. AND THIS SHOWS THAT WITHIN A TWO MILE RADIUS, THE EXISTING GAS STATION LOCATIONS. AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY GAS STATION AT THIS POINT. I MEAN, TO THE WEST. SOUTHEAST OF 78. I, WE BELIEVE THAT THIS GAS STATION COULD BE COULD BE A GOOD FIT. YOU KNOW, TO SERVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND AS WELL AS THE, YOU KNOW, THE TRAFFIC, YOU KNOW, IN THE AREA. SO THIS PARTICULAR GAS STATION, I MEAN, WE HAVE 5000 SQUARE FOOT BEING USED AS A CONVENIENCE STORE AND 1500 SQUARE FOOT RETAIL SPACE GOING TO BE FOR FUTURE TENANTS. THERE'S GOING TO BE ALLOWED BY WHATEVER THE ZONING DESIGNATION ALLOWED WITHIN THE ZONING. AND AGAIN, WE ARE MORE LIKE CATERED TOWARDS THE LOCAL RESIDENTS. WE ARE NOT LIKE A BIG GAS STATION THAT WILL ATTRACT, YOU KNOW, OUTSIDE TRAFFIC MAINLY GOING TO BE WITHIN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AREA SERVING THE NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS. SO. THIS SHOWS THE LOCATION OF THE SITE PLAN AS WELL AS THE BUFFER THAT WE ARE GIVING TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ABOUT 275 FOOT DISTANCE BETWEEN OUR PROPERTY LINE AND THE RESIDENCE EAST OF US. BECAUSE WE ARE TAKING JUST PART OF THE BIGGER TRACK OF LAND, AND WE ARE JUST DEVELOPING AT THE CORNER RIGHT NOW AT THIS POINT. AND THEN THE REST OF IT IS STILL GOING TO BE FUTURE RETAIL, OR THAT WILL REQUIRE, YOU KNOW, SITE PLAN APPROVAL AND SUCH. AND WE ALSO SHOW THAT THE AREA TO THE SOUTH, AND WE HAVE ABOUT 225 FOOT SEPARATION BETWEEN OUR PROPERTY, THE GAS STATION PROPERTY AND THE NEIGHBOR TO OUR SOUTH. AND THE ONE THAT'S HIGHLIGHTED ON THE EAST SIDE. THAT'S THE 50 FOOT OF THE PIPELINE EASEMENT THAT WE ARE NOT BUILDING. EXCEPT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE PAVEMENT THAT SHOWS GOING ACROSS IT FOR THE FUTURE CONNECTIONS. WE ALSO IN TOUCH WITH THE PIPELINE COMPANY THAT, YOU KNOW, WE THEY HAVE TOLD US THAT WE ARE REQUIRED TO DO A POTHOLE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DESIGN, EVERYTHING NEEDS TO MEET THE THEIR STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS. SO THAT WILL BE REQUIRED, THAT WILL REQUIRE APPROVAL FROM THE PIPELINE COMPANY AS WELL. WHATEVER WE ARE DOING THERE AND WE TRY TO KEEP THE. GREEN SPACE WITHIN THAT PIPELINE EASEMENTS, EXCEPT THE FILING THAT'S GOING TO BE CROSSING IT. THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE TRAFFIC FLOW OF THE. OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. AND WE ARE WE ARE HAVING A CURB CUT ON SOUTH BARTLETT AND ANOTHER RIGHT IN RIGHT OUT. ON EAST ALANIS. AND WE'RE GOING TO PROPOSE A DECENT LANE OR A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN LANE ON SOUTHBOUND BARTLETT AVENUE TO ALLOW THE TRAFFIC TO MAKE A LEFT INTO OUR DEVELOPMENT. SO THAT ARROW, THE GREEN ARROW, SHOWS THAT THE TRAFFIC, YOU KNOW, FLOWING COMING INTO THE SITE, AND THE RED IS THE ONE THAT SHOWS. EXITING THE SITE. AS FAR AS THE ECONOMIC IMPACT. AND, YOU KNOW, WITH THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, I THINK WE WILL INCREASE THE PROPERTY TAX REVENUE TO THE CITY AND ALSO INCREASE THE LAND VALUE TO OUR TO THE REMAINING LAND AS WELL. SO AS FAR AS THE OPERATION GOES, AND WE THE MANAGEMENT IS EXPECTING TO HIRE 8 TO 10 TO [00:10:02] CREATE 8 TO 10 JOBS FOR THE LOCAL RESIDENTS, SO THAT WILL BENEFIT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ECONOMY AS WELL. AS FAR AS THE SECURITY GOES, WE DO HAVE A SURVEILLANCE CAMERA ON SITE THAT MONITORS THE SITE 24 OVER SEVEN. AND AS JASON MENTIONED EARLIER, THE GAS STATION WILL OPERATE, YOU KNOW, WITH THE HOURS THAT WAS THAT'S SPECIFIED HERE, 5 A.M. TO 12 A.M. AND SATURDAY, SUNDAY TO FRIDAY, SATURDAY, 5 A.M. TO 1 A.M. AND. THE OPERATION HOURS JUST WANT TO, YOU KNOW, ENSURE THE BUSINESS WILL SERVE THE LOCAL COMMUNITY COMMUNITY EFFICIENTLY AND WHILE MAINTAINING A SAFE AND SECURE ENVIRONMENT. SO THIS IS THE ONE OF THE SITE THAT THAT WAS RECENTLY BUILT IN NEW CANEY, NORTHWEST OF HOUSTON AREA. AND JUST TO GIVE YOU A FEEL OF THE WHAT THE FINISHED PRODUCT IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. AND THAT'S THE INTERIOR OF THE STORE. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. THANK YOU. SO THE PICTURES YOU JUST SHOWED ARE THE ONES. IT'S A MODEL OF OUR EXISTING. ONE OF WHAT YOU ARE PROPOSING TO BUILD HERE. YES. OKAY. SO SAME COMPANY. IT'S THE SAME COMPANY AND IT'S THE SAME BRAND AS WELL. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? BEFORE I OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING PORTION? DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS? I'LL LET YOU KNOW. THANK YOU. OKAY. AT THIS TIME, I'M GOING TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING PORTION OF THIS ITEM. I HAVE A BUNCH OF COMMENT FORMS. I'M JUST GOING TO CALL THEM IN THE ORDER I GOT THEM. SO WHEN YOU GET YOUR HEAR YOUR NAME COME UP, SAY YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO MAKE A COMMENT. AND I ASK THAT YOU DON'T GO OVER IT. AND SO WE HAVE ENOUGH TIME FOR EVERYBODY. SO FIRST UP ARE I NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING PORTION. FIRST UP IS JUSTIN FLOYD. JUSTIN FLOYD 703 PROVIDENCE DRIVE, WYLIE, TEXAS, SEVEN FIVE, 098. I JUST WANT TO KIND OF REITERATE TO THE NEW BOARD, THIS IS THIS IS ALL NEW FROM THE LAST TIME WE REJECTED THE PREVIOUS LOCATION ON THE OTHER SIDE OF ALLEN EAST. YOU GOT 28 OF OUR RESIDENTS IN A MATTER OF THREE HOURS THAT SAID, NO, THE ONLY WAY WE FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS WAS A POST ON FACEBOOK THAT WAS QUICKLY TAKEN DOWN BY ONE OF THE WYLIE FACEBOOK PAGES. SO I BELIEVE THE LAST TIME WE HAD JUST PHASE ONE AND WE HAD 60 OR 70 PEOPLE IN HERE. IF YOU LIKE, WE COULD DO THE SAME THING. BUT I THINK THE PRUDENT THING WOULD BE TO VOTE THIS DOWN LIKE LAST TIME. THE PREVIOUS MAYOR WAS SHOCKED THAT IT MADE IT PAST THE PLANNING AND ZONING WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HERE. I JUST WANT TO LET YOU ALL KNOW HOW PROFUSELY WE REFUSED IT LAST TIME, AND MAYBE YOU SHOULD LOOK UP THE RECORDS. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A NEW DEVELOPMENT. IT'S ACROSS THE STREET, BUT WE ALL FEEL THE SAME. AND THEN I THINK YOU MIGHT WANT TO REALIZE THE LIABILITY YOU'RE PUTTING THE CITY AT WITH A NATURAL GAS LINE UNDER A GAS STATION. I'M PRETTY SURE YOU PROBABLY HAVE DONE YOUR DUE DILIGENCE, BUT IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN, THE CITY OF WYLIE WOULD BE AT SOME SORT OF LIABILITY FOR ALLOWING THIS TO GO THROUGH. I WOULD ASSUME, AND THEN THAT CURB CUT AFTER THAT INTERSECTION, THAT'S PRETTY CLOSE. I BUILD AND MAINTAIN SHERWIN-WILLIAMS PAINT STORES. I'VE NEVER ONCE BEEN ABLE TO GET A CURB CUT THAT CLOSE TO AN INTERSECTION. SO AND IT'S USUALLY FOR SAFETY REASONS. SO I'LL DETER THE REST OF MY TIME TO JULIE. SHE'S GOT A LOT MORE PRUDENT INFORMATION AND A LOT MORE RESEARCH SHE'S DONE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT UP IS LORI BROWN. HELLO. I'M REALLY NERVOUS. I'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE. MY NAME IS LORI BROWN. I LIVE AT 104 MARTIN DRIVE, WYLIE, TEXAS 75098. MY RESIDENCE IS [00:15:06] LITERALLY IN LINE OF SIGHT OF THE FIRE STATION, WHICH THE GAS STATION WOULD BE IN, OBSTRUCT THAT VIEW. NOT THAT IT'S A GREAT VIEW, BUT IT IS A VIEW. AS HE SAID BEFORE, WE HAVE VOTED THIS DOWN BEFORE. WE DON'T WANT A GAS STATION IN THAT AREA. WE DON'T NEED THE LIGHT POLLUTION. THE LIGHTS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE ARE FAR WORSE THAN THEY WERE WHEN WE FIRST MOVED HERE 26 YEARS AGO, AND A CHURCH WAS PROPOSED TO BE THERE. OKAY. THINGS CHANGE. WE GET THAT. I DON'T KNOW HOW GOOD I'M DOING. I'M JUST SAYING WE DEFINITELY DON'T WANT A GAS STATION THERE. I THINK, LIKE YOU SAID BEFORE, WE'VE ALREADY GONE THIS ROUTE. IT'S A DIFFERENT LOCATION. GOT IT. WE STILL FEEL THE SAME WAY. THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE TO SAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT UP IS JOHN SPEARS. JOHN SPEARS, 715 FAIRFIELD. WYLIE. WHAT I SAID BEFORE, I'LL SAY AGAIN. JUST. IT'S ALREADY BEEN SAID. LIGHT POLLUTION, THE AIR POLLUTION, THE NOISE POLLUTION AND EVERYTHING ELSE. AS THE APPLICANT POINTED OUT IN HIS OWN MAP AND I, MY NUMBERS ARE A LITTLE HIGHER THAN HIS. BUT WE ALREADY HAVE SIX GAS STATIONS WITHIN A TWO MILE RADIUS OF OUR HOUSE. HOW MANY DO WE NEED? I MEAN, IT'S NOT THAT FAR TO GO TO GET A TANK OF GAS RIGHT NOW. YOU KNOW IT. I JUST DON'T SEE THE NEED FOR IT, AND I, I WILL AS AS PEOPLE HAVE SAID, I'LL DEFER TO JULIE TO GIVE YOU MORE DETAILS ON THIS, BUT THIS IS NOT NEEDED. IT'S NOT ASKED FOR. AND WE IT'S JUST IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT'S NOT NEEDED IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. AND WE FRANKLY DON'T WANT IT. BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR ATTENTION. THANK YOU. NEXT UP, MISS PAM WELLS. GOOD EVENING, GENTLEMEN. MY NAME IS PAM WELLS. I LIVE AT 111 MARTIN DRIVE, WYLIE, TEXAS, 75098. I DON'T WANT THE GAS STATION IN MY BACKYARD, AND IT WOULD LITERALLY BE IN MY BACKYARD. MY BACKYARD FACES THAT GAS STATION. I DON'T WANT TO PICK UP THE TRASH. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE THE CRIME. THEY MAY HAVE A SECURITY SYSTEM OR A SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM, BUT THAT'S NOT GOING TO PREVENT THE CRIME. THAT'S JUST GOING TO CATCH IT. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE MORE POLICE TO COME THAT WAY MORE OFTEN. THE TRAFFIC THAT COMES IN FROM SAXBY ROAD, IT'S ALREADY ONE LANE THAT WAY IT'S GOING TO CAUSE A WHOLE LOT MORE TRAFFIC. IF AND ACCIDENTS. I THANK ALANIZ, AND BALLARD IS ONE OF THE TOP AREAS FOR ACCIDENTS RIGHT NOW. THAT'S WITHOUT A GAS STATION BEING THERE. I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK WITH THE POLICE STATION, BUT I HEAR AMBULANCES AND FIRE STATION PERSONNEL THERE ALL THE TIME. OKAY, WE DON'T WANT IT. THAT'S PLAIN AND SIMPLE. I DON'T WANT TO PICK UP THE TRASH OUT OF MY BACKYARD OR MY FRONT YARD. WE TAKE PRIDE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND A GAS STATION IN MY BACKYARD IS NOT SOMETHING WE WANT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT UP IS MARK D SINCLAIR. HELLO. MY NAME IS MARK SINCLAIR. I LIVE AT 703 ROCKINGHAM DRIVE, STONE RANCH, AND I OBJECT TO THE GAS STATION BEING HERE. I'VE BEEN ON TWO DIFFERENT BOARDS OF HOA AND MY JOB AS HOA IS THE FIRST THING IS TO HELP OUR. EXCUSE ME. TO HELP THE VALUE OF OUR HOMES. I FEEL LIKE THIS STATION WILL DECREASE THE VALUE OF OUR HOMES. I LOOK AT THE SAME THING AS EVERYBODY ELSE THE NOISE, THE POLLUTION, THE, MAYBE THE CRIME. THEY MAY DO SOME CRIME. THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ALL THE TIME SHINING. BECAUSE I LIVED IN PLANO AND THEY DID THE SAME THING CLOSE TO ME. AND YOU HAVE THESE BRIGHT LIGHTS SHINING ON YOUR BEDROOM. THIS IS NOT GOOD. I MEAN, IT'S A NICE LOOKING STATION, NICE LOOKING STORE, BUT IT DON'T BELONG ON ATLANTIS. IN BALLARD. ATLANTIS AND BALLARD IS A NEIGHBORHOOD OF PEOPLE. THAT [00:20:03] AND WE TAKE PRIDE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. AND LIKE I SAID, WHEN I TOOK AN OATH ON AN HOA BOARD, I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD TRY TO KEEP THE VALUE OF OUR HOMES AS HIGH AS THEY CAN BE, AND THIS STATION IS NOT GOING TO DO IT. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. NEXT UP, JAMES SMITH. JAMES SMITH 112 MARTIN DRIVE IN. WYLIE I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE UP YOUR TIME BECAUSE I KNOW YOU GOT SOME GUYS COMING UP THAT ARE GOING TO SAY EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO SAY. SO I'LL DEFER TO DANNY WELLS. WHAT HE SAYS IS WHAT MY WIFE AND I AGREE ON. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. NEXT UP, DANNY WELLS. IS IT ALRIGHT IF I HAND YOU THAT HANDOUTS? YEAH, I'LL KEEP ONE FOR MYSELF, BUT. ESSENTIALLY WHAT I WANT TO SAY. GET MY SPECTACLES OUT. HELLO. MY NAME IS DANNY WELLS. I'M SORRY. I LIVE AT 111 MARTIN DRIVE. I AM WITHIN THE 200FT OF THAT GAS STATION. IN FACT, I WILL PROBABLY BE 100FT BECAUSE MY MARTIN DRIVE WAS NOT LISTED UP THERE AT DALL'ANESE. AND ALL THESE OTHER DRIVES WERE 200FT AWAY. MARTIN DRIVE WASN'T OKAY. ONE WHO THINKS IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO BUILD A GAS STATION NEXT TO AN EIGHT INCH GAS LINE. OKAY. NOWHERE IN WYLIE ARE THERE GAS STATIONS IN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS. WHY START NOW? THE LOCATION IS NOT A MAJOR ARTERY, SUCH AS HIGHWAY 78 OR FARM WORK AT 544 WERE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED. PROPERTY VALUES WILL BE SEVERELY IMPACTED BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO LIVE NEXT TO A GAS STATION. INCREASED CRIME. THE FBI LIST GAS STATIONS AS THE NUMBER FOUR LOCATION FOR CRIME. INCREASED HEALTH RISKS. STUDIES SHOW THERE ARE HEALTH PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH EMISSIONS FROM FUEL PUMPS AND UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS. A GAS STATION DOES NOT BELONG AT THE ENTRANCE TO A NEIGHBORHOOD. IT RUINS THE ESTHETICS OF THE ENTRANCE. PLEASE DON'T SET A PRECEDENCE. SOUTH BALLARD AND ALANIS IS ALREADY A SOMEWHAT DANGEROUS INTERSECTION, AND ADDING CONGESTION WILL ONLY INCREASE THAT DANGER IF ROOF LINES ARE AT 18FT AND THE FUEL PUMP CANOPY IS 19FT, HOW TALL WILL THE LIGHTNING LIGHTING BE THAT IS SHINING INTO OUR YARDS? PROPOSED LIST. MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 26. PROPOSAL DOES INCREASED NOISE FOR RESIDENTS. FUEL AND DELIVERY VENDOR DELIVERY TRUCKS ALONG WITH BLARING RADIOS AND CUSTOMERS FIGHTING AND YELLING ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT BECAUSE THE GAS STATION PART WILL BE OPEN. NOXIOUS ODORS FROM FUEL, CAR EXHAUST, AND DELIVERY TRUCKS THAT OFTEN IDLE WHILE UNLOADING. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT RUNOFF FROM FUEL STATIONS CAN POLLUTE AREA BODIES OF WATER AND RIVER, AND THERE IS A RIVER DOWN THE STREET ON ATLANTIS. ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY. THERE IS NO NEED FOR A GAS STATION DISLOCATION. THERE ARE AT LEAST TEN GAS STATIONS WITHIN A TWO MILE RADIUS OF THE PROPOSED SITE. WHEN I PUT IT IN MY PHONE, LIGHT POLLUTION, THE EXTENDED OPERATING HOURS OF A GAS STATION WOULD DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THOSE OF AN EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD. SERVICES POTENTIALLY DISRUPTING THE COMMUNITY, ENHANCING LIGHTS DURING EXTENDED HOURS. OKAY, GOT A HAT? TRASH WILL BLOW IN PAVEMENT THAT GOES TO NOWHERE. HINTS AT PLANS FOR FUTURE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, WHICH WE SEE PHASE TWO. NOW, RESIDENTS IN TEXAS HAVE NO RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT TYPES OF VOLATILE CHEMICALS ARE STORED ON NEARBY COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, SO I WOULD RATHER NOT OPEN PANDORA'S BOX. WHO PAYS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDY REMEDIATION IF THE OWNER GOES BANKRUPT? ARE THEY ALLOWED TO HAVE AN AUTOMATED CAR WASH? BECAUSE. LOOK AROUND THE CITY. WE NEED MORE OF THOSE. NOT A TOTAL PARKING OF 25. YOU'RE TALKING RACETRACK SIZE, INCLUDING PUMPS. PARKING CAN EXCEED 36 VEHICLES. AND. OKAY. THANK YOU SIR. OKAY. NEXT UP IS JULIE LAWSON. JULIE LAWSON, 902 TRAVERS. APOLOGIES FOR THE ABRUPTNESS. I ONLY FOUND [00:25:04] OUT ABOUT THIS EARLIER TODAY. AS SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW, IN 2019, I STOOD IN FRONT OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REQUESTING A DENIAL WITH PREJUDICE RECOMMENDATION TO GO TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR CIP FOR THE LOT OFF OF ALANIS FROM THE CURRENT PROPOSED LOCATION ACROSS THE STREET. UNFORTUNATELY, THOSE COMMISSIONERS WHO WERE PREVIOUSLY APPOINTED INTO YOUR POSITIONS DID NOT LISTEN TO THE WILL OF THE WYLIE RESIDENTS AND VOTED 3 TO 2 IN FAVOR OF THE ZONING CHANGE RECOMMENDATION. THE RESIDENTS WERE HEARTBROKEN. WE EXPECTED THE COMMISSIONERS TO MAKE THEIR DECISION TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY, ALONG WITH THE WELFARE OF THE CITY OF WYLIE RESIDENTS, BUT DESPITE LISTENING TO AN EXTENSIVE LIST OF REASONS, THIS WAS NOT WANTED AND NOT NEEDED, AND IT WAS A HEALTH HAZARD. THEY WENT AGAINST OUR WISHES. THANKFULLY, THOSE RESIDENTS CAME OUT AGAIN IN FULL FORCE THREE WEEKS LATER AND HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO THE REASONS THAT THIS WAS NOT A WELCOME CHANGE FOR THE COMMUNITY. WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE THAT THE CITY COUNCIL LISTENED TO THE WILL OF THE RESIDENTS AND DENIED THE SUP WITH PREJUDICE FOR THE OPPOSITE CORNER, WHICH HAS SINCE STARTED CONSTRUCTION WITHOUT A GAS STATION. IN 2019, OVER 25 RESIDENTS SPOKE FOR ALMOST AN HOUR AND FRANKLY, OUR NUMEROUS COMMENTS AND CONCERNS HAVE NOT CHANGED. WE'RE CONCERNED FOR OUR HEALTH AND OUR SAFETY. WE'RE CONCERNED FOR OUR LIGHT AND NOISE POLLUTION. WE'RE ALSO CONCERNED FOR OUR PROPERTY VALUES. AS FOR THE HEALTH AND SAFETY, I PRESENTED RESEARCH THAT SHOWS BENZENE. BENZENE DOES CAUSE CANCER. AND WITH MANY LITTLE RESIDENTS THAT LEVERAGE OUR PARK, THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT RISK, NOT TO MENTION INCREASED CRIME, DISTRACTED TRAFFIC, AND THE STOPPING AND STARTING OF CAR ENGINES WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR OVERNIGHT FILLING OF THE PUMP WOULD CAUSE NEARBY RESIDENTS TO HAVE INCREASED DISRUPTION THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. MULTIPLE SITES ALSO SHOW LIVING NEAR A GAS STATION DIMINISHES PROPERTY VALUES. THERE'S NO NEED FOR A GAS STATION, AS THERE ARE MANY UP AND DOWN 78 AND FIVE, 44 IN AND OUT OF WYLIE. IN 2019, THERE WERE ALREADY EIGHT GAS STATIONS WITHIN A FIVE MINUTE RADIUS AND 11 WITHIN AN 11 MINUTE RADIUS. NONE BURIED WITHIN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. THAT NUMBER HAS INCREASED OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS, AND THE ONLY REASON FOR HAVING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT WOULD BE TO ALLOW THE GAS STATION TO SELL BEER AND WINE. BECAUSE OF THE REQUIREMENT TO OFFSET 75% OF GROSS REVENUE. NOT TO MENTION THEY'RE LOOKING AT PUTTING IN SEVEN PUMPS IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S NOT SMALL. IN YOUR APPOINTED POSITION, IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE SPECIAL USE PERMITS ARE NOT DETRIMENTAL TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY OR GENERAL WELFARE. YOU'RE ALSO TAKING INTO ACCOUNT WHAT WE WANT TO HAVE IN OUR COMMUNITIES. WITHIN TWO HOURS OF POSTING THIS ON MY COMMUNITY PAGE ON A WORKDAY, WE HAD OVER 20 PUBLIC COMMENT FORMS AGAINST THE REQUESTED ZONING CHANGE SUBMITTED. WHAT I'M ASKING FOR YOU IS TO PUT YOURSELF IN OUR SHOES. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU'D INVESTED IN YOUR HOME AND YOUR PROPERTY, ONLY TO HAVE AN APPOINTED OFFICIAL DISREGARD THE WILL OF THE RESIDENTS THAT IT WILL IMPACT? I'M ASKING YOU TO RECOMMEND THE DENIAL OF THE SUP WITH PREJUDICE TO THE CITY COUNCIL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY. THE LAST. THE LAST ONE I GOT IS CAMERON BROOKE LONGBRAKE. IF SOMEBODY ELSE WANTS TO SPEAK, IT HASN'T BEEN CALLED. YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO FILL OUT A FORM AND GIVE IT TO GABBY, AND WE'LL CALL YOU UP. I THINK A LOT. OKAY. HI. MY NAME IS OFFICIALLY CAMERON BROOKE LONGBRAKE. I GO BY BROOKE AND I LIVE AT 1100 DODD DRIVE IN WYLIE. 75098 I'VE LIVED IN WYLIE SINCE 2009. OTHER THAN A SHORT TWO YEAR STINT OUT TO NEVADA, WHERE WE MOVED QUICKLY BACK TO WYLIE AND WE LOVE IT HERE. WE'VE HAD KIDS INVOLVED IN ALL THE SCHOOLS IN THE WYLIE EAST FEEDER PATTERN FROM OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND WE'RE SAD TO THINK THAT THE GAS STATION COULD EVEN BE A POSSIBILITY. WE HAVE SEVERAL MAIN CONCERNS, MOST OF WHICH HAVE BEEN MENTIONED WITH THIS NOISE LEVELS, TRAFFIC INCREASE, AIR QUALITY CONCERNS AND REAL ESTATE VALUES ARE SOME OF THEM. SO YES, WHILE THE VALUE OF THAT ONE FIELD MIGHT RISE, THE VALUE OF ALL THE HOUSES WHERE YOUR RESIDENCE THAT YOU REPRESENT IS GOING TO BE DECREASED. ONE OF OUR BIGGEST CONCERNS IS THE IMPACT OF AIR QUALITY ON OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE ARE MULTIPLE STUDIES BY PUBMED, COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE SERVICES AND MANY OTHERS THAT CONSISTENTLY SHOW AIR QUALITY BEING IMPACTED UP TO 600FT AWAY. I'VE GIVEN YOU EACH A LIST OF LINKS TO A SMALL SAMPLING OF THESE STUDIES. AND THERE'S OTHERS. THERE'S SO MANY. THIS WAS 30 MINUTES OF SEARCHING. AND THESE ARE ALL PEER REVIEWED VALID STUDIES. THE SEDS.ORG STATES THAT TO PREVENT HARMFUL EMISSION EXPOSURE FROM A GAS STATION TO A RESIDENTIAL LOCATION, THERE SHOULD BE A BARE MINIMUM OF 500FT. OUR HOUSE WOULD BE LESS THAN 300 AWAY. AT THE VERY LEAST HAS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY BEEN DONE BY THE CITY OF WYLIE BEFORE THEY MAKE THIS KIND OF DECISION. ANOTHER MAJOR CONCERN IS THE NOISE LEVEL [00:30:04] INCREASE. WE HAVE ORDINANCES IN PLACE IN THE CITY OF WYLIE FOR CONSTRUCTION. THE NOISE LEVEL FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS IS 85 DEGREES, 80, 85DB, OR IT'S CONSIDERED NOT ALLOWED, RIGHT? THE GAS STATION AVERAGE DECIBEL LEVEL IS IN THE 70S. SO YEAH, IT'S NOT AT THE MAX LEVEL, BUT IT'S 24 OVER SEVEN CARS COME IN AND GOING TO LIVE 250FT FROM THAT WELL DRASTICALLY IMPACT OUR HOUSING VALUE AND JUST OUR QUALITY OF LIFE. OKAY. CRIME OBVIOUSLY THAT'S BEEN MENTIONED. SMELL OF ALCOHOL, SMELL OF LOTTERY TICKETS. ALL OF THOSE THINGS TYPICALLY INCREASE THE LEVEL OF CRIME THAT HAPPENS IN GAS STATIONS. SOME OF THE LINKS I GAVE YOU SHOW THIS. TRAFFIC PATTERNS ARE ALSO AN ISSUE. THE SCHOOL ZONES ARE ALREADY A SIGNIFICANT FACTOR IN TRAFFIC PATTERNS, AND ADDING A GAS STATION HERE WILL INCREASE THIS LEVEL OF TRAFFIC. YOU HAVE LOTS AND LOTS OF KIDS THAT WALK TO SCHOOL WITH OR WITHOUT THEIR PARENTS GOING TO HARRISON OR BARNETT. I DON'T WANT MY KIDS WALKING. I DON'T HAVE ANY THAT WOULD DO THAT AT THIS STAGE, BUT I DON'T WANT THEM WALKING BY A GAS STATION. FROM THE RISK OF GETTING HIT BY CARS AND FROM A SAFETY RISK AS FAR AS CRIME. WYLIE, AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE TALKED ABOUT, HAS SO MANY GAS STATIONS ALREADY, NONE OF WHICH ARE IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. SO I'M NOT GOING TO REHASH THAT. FROM A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE, OUR STREET HAS A GREAT GROUP OF FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN. SEVERAL OF US HAVE PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, MY SON INCLUDED. HE HAS BEEN THREE MINUTES. SO JUST OKAY, YOU WANT TO WRAP IT UP? I'LL WRAP IT UP. YES. REAL QUICK. I HAVE LIKE TWO SENTENCES. OKAY. MY 21 YEAR OLD SPECIAL NEEDS SON HAS A VERY HARD TIME SLEEPING AND HAS A SENSITIVITY TO NOISE. THIS WOULD IMPACT HIS QUALITY OF LIFE. THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT. THANK YOU. OKAY, I GOT ONE MORE FORM, CLAY BLAKEY. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON THIS. MY ADDRESS IS 100 ALANIS WYLIE 75098. AND ALSO WANT TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF MY MOTHER, ELDERLY MOTHER, BECAUSE SHE'S UNABLE TO BE HERE HERSELF. AND SHE LIVES AT 1502 SOUTH BALLARD, RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PROPOSED SITE. AND WE'VE ALREADY SUBMITTED COMMENT FORMS, SO I WON'T BELABOR ANY OF THE PREVIOUS COMMENTS THE SPEAKERS HAVE MADE, BECAUSE WE AGREE WITH THOSE. WE DON'T WANT A GAS STATION ACROSS THE STREET. MOM'S LIVED THERE AT THAT LOCATION 40 YEARS, AND SO THIS WOULD BE A DRAMATIC DEPARTURE FROM HER, HER WAY OF LIFE. YOU KNOW, HER HER NEIGHBORHOOD. NEIGHBORHOOD. I'VE LIVED IN MY HOUSE BEHIND HER FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS. AND SO WE DON'T WANT A GAS STATION. AND DUE TO THE REASONS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN STATED, I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL THOSE AGAIN. BUT THANKS. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. THANK YOU SIR. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? THAT WAS THE LAST FORM I HAVE. OH. OKAY. SO IT'S JUST THE INFORMATION. OH. OKAY. APRIL BROWN JUNIOR. OH. AND SO I'M SORRY. SORRY ABOUT THAT. IT'S OKAY. MY NAME IS ANGELA BROWN. I LIVE AT 104 MARTIN DRIVE. I WORK FOR THE CITY OF RICHARDSON FOR 25 YEARS. I'VE SEEN GAS STATIONS COME AND GO AT EVERY CORNER THAT THERE WAS OPEN. AND THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENED AT EVERY GAS STATION WAS PUT IN WAS THERE WAS ACCIDENTS. BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE IN A HURRY TO LEAVE, IN A HURRY TO GET THERE. THEY'VE GOT TO GO TO WORK. THEY GOT TO GO HOME AND CHECK ON THE KIDS. WE'VE GOT TRUCKS THAT TRAVEL DOWN BALLARD THAT ARE GOING TO A TRAIN STATION TO DROP OFF LARGE LOADS. THEY'LL STOP AT THAT GAS STATION AND PARK ON ON THE ROAD BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET INSIDE BECAUSE, HEY, IT'S ON THE WAY. I'LL PARK OVER THERE, TURN ON MY EMERGENCY SIGNALS. I'LL GO AND GET ME SOME LUNCH OR SOME BREAKFAST OR SOMETHING. AND NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A DRAW ON THE RESIDENTS. AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A DRAW ON THE CITY, BECAUSE WE'VE GOT A FIRE STATION RIGHT THERE. THAT FIRE STATION IS GOING TO BE THEIR PRIMARY JOB, WILL BE THAT INTERSECTION, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TRY TO AVOID PEOPLE TURNING INTO THE GAS STATION, PEOPLE GOING TO IT'S FROM THE JUST EVERYBODY ELSE TALKING ABOUT THE GAS STATION, THE ENVIRONMENT. I DON'T NEED TO ADD TO THAT, BUT THE DANGER OF THAT YOUR YOUR GAS STATION RIGHT THERE. KIDS ARE GOING TO GET HURT BECAUSE THEY'RE CROSSING THAT RED LIGHT AND PEOPLE DON'T WHEN THEY'RE IN A HURRY, THEY DON'T PAY ATTENTION. SINCE COVID, THINGS HAVE CHANGED 100%. I WORKED FOR A STATE ENTITY AND THAT'S OUR PRIMARY PROJECT, IS TO STOP DEATHS ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON THE ROADWAYS. AND IT IT [00:35:07] PEOPLE THAT DON'T PAY ATTENTION ARE THE WORST THING. AND ADDING MORE DISTRACTIONS IS WHAT'S GOING TO END UP KILLING SEVERAL KIDS OR SEVERAL ADULTS. THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT TO SAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. OKAY. UP NEXT IS FERNANDA. HARLOT. HELLO. MY NAME IS FERNANDA. HARLOT. MY HUSBAND AND I LIVE ON 711 FAIRFIELD DRIVE IN WYLIE IN STONE RANCH. MY HUSBAND AND I, WE DO NOT WANT A GAS STATION EITHER. WE JUST FOUND A FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS AFTER LUNCH TODAY, AND WE RUSHED OVER FROM DOWNTOWN BECAUSE IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO NOT HAVE A GAS STATION THERE. I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE THAT MUCH TO PREPARE AND SPEAK, BUT PLEASE LISTEN TO ALL THE CONCERNS EVERYONE ELSE HAS SAID, AND WE BOTH AGREE TO NOT HAVE ONE DUE TO EVERYTHING EVERYBODY ELSE SAID. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK BEFORE WE CLOSE? I JUST HAVE A QUESTION. I STILL HAVE A MINUTE. THERE YOU GO. I STILL HAVE A MINUTE ON MINE. THIS IS PAM, AND WE ALL KNOW YOUR NAME. BUT SAY IT. AND YOUR ADDRESS. JUST ONE MORE TIME FOR PAM WELLS. 111 MARTIN DRIVE, WYLIE, TEXAS, 75098. START. AND I ONLY HAVE A MINUTE. IS THERE ENOUGH OPPOSITION THAT WOULD PREVENT THIS FROM GOING TO COUNCIL RIGHT NOW? THERE IS A WHAT, 20% OF THE SIX? AND YOU HAD FOUR OPPOSITION IN OPPOSITION. SO IT SHOULD BE A MUTE THAT. SO? YES, YES. LONG STORY SHORT, I DON'T WANT TO STEAL THESE GENTLEMEN THUNDER. BUT AT THIS POINT THERE'S ENOUGH OPPOSITION THAT IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER THEY VOTE TO APPROVE IT OR DENY IT. IT'S GOING TO TAKE A SUPERMAJORITY OF COUNCIL BECAUSE IT HAS HIT THE 20%. SO IT WILL TAKE A SUPERMAJORITY OF COUNCIL TO APPROVE THIS. OKAY. SO IT IS IF THEY CHOOSE TO SEND IT TO COUNCIL, IT'S GOING TO COUNCIL REGARDLESS. PAM. OH YES. I THOUGHT THAT IF NO THAT IT HAD TO GO HERE FIRST. ALL THIS BOARD IS A RECOMMENDATION BOARD ONLY. THEY RECOMMEND THINGS TO COUNCIL. THEY DON'T APPROVE ZONING CASES. OKAY. THAT'S ALL I ASKED. ALL RIGHT. THANKS. RIGHT. IN A MINUTE. NO. OKAY. THERE IS NO ONE ELSE. LAST CALL. I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED. OKAY, COMMISSIONERS, IS ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? APPLICANT FOR JASON, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR JASON. HAS LEGAL LOOKED AT THIS IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE GAS LINE. SO TCE TC DOES ALL OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW. THE CITY IS NOT INVOLVED IN THAT WHATSOEVER. SO OUR ONLY THING IS TO WHETHER WE WHETHER, YOU KNOW, THE ZONING IS IN PLACE, THE ACTUAL BUILDING OF THE AND THE BURYING OF ALL OF THE GAS STUFF IS ALL THE STATE OF TEXAS. NOT NOT THE CITY OF WYLIE. OKAY. ANYONE ELSE COMMENT? I GOT A COUPLE QUESTIONS. THE FIRST ONE, JASON, IS THERE A MINIMUM DISTANCE REQUIRED BETWEEN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE GAS STATION? NO, AS LONG AS THE ZONING IS THERE, LIKE IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE. THERE'S IT. A THAT'S WHY WE HAVE AN SP, YOU KNOW, THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT BECAUSE IT ALLOWS FOR CONSIDERATION IN LIKE WE'RE LIKE WE'RE DOING THIS EVENING. SO BUT AS FAR AS LIKE AN ACTUAL DISTANCE, IT'S NOT LIKE ALCOHOL SALES WHERE YOU HAVE TO BE 300FT FROM A SCHOOL AND, YOU KNOW, 200FT FROM THIS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. BUT NO, THERE IS NOT. ALL RIGHT. AND MY OTHER ONE IS FOR THE OWNER WAS THE GAS LINE SHOWN ON THE PRESENTATION? IF YOU COME UP TO THE DIAS. YEAH, IT WAS ON ME. IT WAS SHOWN. HE SAID THE GAS LINE IS SHOWN. YEAH. IT'S. YEAH. SORRY. LET'S GO TO THE BACK. SO THIS SLIDE RIGHT HERE. WE HAVE A 50 FOOT EASEMENT. THAT'S THAT'S SHOWN AS A GREEN LINE. THAT'S AN EASEMENT. AND THE GAS LINE WILL PROBABLY BE IN [00:40:03] THE MIDDLE OF IT. THAT GOES, GOES, GOES DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE EASEMENT. THE 50 FOOT EASEMENT. SO OUR BUILDING IS SITTING OUTSIDE THE EASEMENT. SO I MEAN ALL THE PUMPS IS GOING TO BE CLOSER TO THE ROAD THAN CLOSER TO THE EASEMENTS. AND THOSE EASEMENT OWNED BY PIPELINE COMPANY. AND WE ALREADY CONTACTED THEM. LIKE I SAID, THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK AT CLOSELY AS FAR AS APPROVING ANYTHING THAT'S CROSSING THE PIPELINE, ANY PAVEMENT THAT WE HAVE TO PUT ON OVER THE EASEMENT WILL REQUIRE A CERTAIN SEPARATION, LIKE I BELIEVE IT'S A 4 OR 5 FOOT SEPARATION. WE HAD TO DO A POTHOLE TO IDENTIFY THE ELEVATION OF THE PIPELINE THAT WAS BURIED UNDERGROUND, AND WE HAD TO MEET ALL THOSE REQUIREMENTS, AND THOSE ARE GOING TO BE REVIEWED CLOSELY BY THE PIPELINE COMPANY ENGINEER AT THE PIPELINE COMPANY. TO ANSWER THE QUESTION ABOUT THE UST TANKS. WE DO HAVE TO GET REGISTERED WITH TCU AND GET THE APPROVAL AND FIRE DEPARTMENT. LOOK AT THE I BELIEVE, THE REVIEW, THE UNDERGROUND GAS TANK AS WELL TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE ALL IN COMPLIANCE. SO. SO ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT. YEAH. ON THE SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT. IT LISTS THAT STATE THAT EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED WITH ARIAN, IS THAT THE ACTUAL HOURS OF OPERATION THAT THEY'RE REFERRING TO. SO THEIR HOURS OF OPERATION. YES. YEAH. ONE ABOVE IT IN NUMBER ONE, THE LAST SENTENCE. NUMBER ONE OF GENERAL CONDITIONS, IS IT IT FOLLOWS ALL THE ZONING ORDINANCES ADOPTED IN JUNE 2023, EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED HEREIN. YES. THAT THE HOURS OF OPERATIONS. YEAH. BECAUSE WITHOUT THAT, THEY THEORETICALLY COULD RUN 24 HOURS A DAY. AND SO WE RECOMMENDED, HEY, IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THIS THAT CLOSE TO A NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU NEED TO HAVE A STOP. YEAH. YOU GOT TO DO SOMETHING. SO YEAH. NOW IT ALSO FALLS UNDER THE CONSIDERATION AND PROVISIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT WAS PASSED JUST SEVERAL YEARS AGO AS NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES DISTRICT. IT DOES ALLOW FOR IT AS A CONSIDERATION. THAT IS CORRECT. OKAY. SO IT FALLS WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. YES, SIR. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? YOU CAN HAVE A SEAT. WE'LL CALL YOU BACK UP IF WE NEED YOU. SO NO ONE ELSE HAS ANY QUESTIONS? I MEAN, I'LL GIVE MY OPINION ON IT IS I THINK AT SOME POINT THAT CORNER IS GOING TO BE DEVELOPED INTO SOMETHING COMMERCIAL THAT THAT FITS WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN THAT WAS DEVELOPED A FEW YEARS AGO. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS PROPOSED, IN MY OPINION, PROPOSED USE IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK FITS WITH THAT AREA AND THAT CORNER AND HOW IT'S BEEN PRESENTED. SO THAT'S WHERE I STAND ON IT. BUT IF SOMEBODY SAID, Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR SOMEBODY WANT TO PROPOSE A MOTION, I'LL ENTERTAIN IT ALL. I'LL PROPOSE A MOTION TO DISAPPROVE AS PRESENTED, RECOMMEND OR RECOMMEND DISAPPROVAL AS PRESENTED. SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND DISAPPROVAL. I HAVE A SECOND. I SECOND. MOTION A SECOND. PLEASE VOTE. SO IT'S A YES TWO. AND THE MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO. SO JUST FOR THE AUDIENCE, BECAUSE IT'S THE HOLIDAYS, THIS WILL GO TO CITY COUNCIL FOR A FINAL VOTE ON THE 14TH OF JANUARY, IF THAT'S A TUESDAY, IF I GOT MY DATES RIGHT. SO IT'S THE SECOND TUESDAY IN JANUARY. OKAY. NEXT UP, REGULAR AGENDA. [2.

REALLY SLOW TO MAKE SURE I GET IT RIGHT. CORNER OF WHAT? MCMILLAN AND COUNTRY CLUB. WITH THE METHODIST CHURCH. THEY DID A PD MANY YEARS AGO IN ORDER TO. I THINK IT WAS 2001 TO ALLOW FOR THE CHURCH. THEY HAVE SINCE BEEN APPROACHED BY VERIZON, AND VERIZON WOULD LIKE TO PUT A CELL TOWER ROUGHLY ABOUT WHERE MY POINTER IS RIGHT NOW. RIGHT THERE. WHICH WOULD MEET ALL THE CONDITIONS AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, IF IT FALLS OVER, IT'S NOT GOING TO LAND ON ANYBODY ELSE'S PROPERTY. YOU KNOW, THAT SORT OF THING. THEY ALSO ARE GOING TO MEET ALL THE CONDITIONS AS FAR AS THERE WILL BE AN EIGHT FOOT HIGH CMU SCREENING WALL, IT WILL BE LANDSCAPED. SO YOU WON'T ACTUALLY SEE THE WALL FROM THE STREET. YOU KNOW, AND SUCH. IT'LL ALSO BE KNOCKED BLOCKED SO NOBODY CAN GET IN UNLESS THEY, YOU KNOW, WANT TO CLIMB THE WALL AND DO ALL THE THINGS. BUT YOU CAN ONLY STOP SO MUCH. AND WE DO HAVE TO DO A AMENDMENT TO A PD. NORMALLY THIS WOULD BE AN SUPP, BUT SINCE THEY HAVE A PLAN DEVELOPMENT IN PLACE BECAUSE OF THE CHURCH, IT'S JUST AN AMENDMENT TO A PD TO ALLOW A CELL PHONE. I'M SORRY, THE CELL TOWER AS A USE ON THAT PROPERTY. WE MAILED OUT. JUST A FEW. I'M SORRY. I'M MISSING IT. OH, IT'S ON THE BACK. PAGE 13. PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200FT.

SO WE COULD GET TO THIS PART AND HAVE A SMOOTH CONVERSATION IS [00:50:01] ABSOLUTELY POSSIBLE. WHAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU IS THE FINAL VERSION THAT HRC HAS ALREADY MADE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO THIS COMMISSION, AND THE CITY COUNCIL. THE SECTIONS AS STATED IN THE REPORT, THE SECTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN HAD SOME CHANGES TO THEM MAINLY ARE THE PURPOSE FOR CLEAR LANGUAGE. PARKING TO ALLOW A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY IN DETERMINING PARKING DOWNTOWN. A LITTLE BIT CLEANUP ON THE LANGUAGE TO TALK ABOUT STREET FACADES. TO BETTER DEFINE THE REQUIREMENTS. QUITE A BIT OF IDENTIFYING LANGUAGE FOR ARCHITECTURAL REQUIREMENTS. THAT WAS JUST KIND OF TAKE THE GUESSWORK OUT OF IT. IT WAS PRETTY VAGUE BEFORE. AND NOW WE'VE NARROWED THAT DOWN QUITE A BIT. AND THEN WE'VE MADE SOME CHANGES TO THE SIGNS. AS YOU KNOW, I'VE TAKEN AN ORDINANCE TO COUNCIL. AND THAT WILL BE FINALIZED. THE NEXT MEETING. AND THAT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH THE SUPREME COURT RULINGS AND THE FIRST AMENDMENT. SO WE'VE MADE SURE WE'VE THE DEFINITIONS AND STUFF THAT WE'VE CHANGED IN THE THIS PARTICULAR ORDINANCE MATCH UP WITH THAT CITY ORDINANCE.
