AGENDA ONE ITEM. HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING. CONSIDER AND ACT UPON THE RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL REGARDING THE WRITING OF AN ORDINANCE FOR CHANGE IN ZONING FROM LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TO COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR. SPECIAL USE PERMIT CCP ON 1.601 ACRES TO ALLOW FOR CONVENIENCE STORE, FUELING STATION AND SMOKE SHOP PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2111 FM 544. ZC 2020 508. MR. MOLINA. YES. 
          GOOD EVENING. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY 1.6 ACRES LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF SAND AND BOULEVARD AND WEST FM 544. THE PROPERTY ADDRESS IS 211 WEST. FM 544. THE PURPOSE OF THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TO COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR, WITH A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR A MOTOR FUELING STATION THAT HAS 16 FUEL PUMP STATIONS. THEY ALSO HAVE A SMOKE SHOP TENANT ON THE SIDE THAT MEASURES AROUND 1100FT■!S. THIS REQUEST IS ALSO GOING TO BE THE SITE PLAN REVIEW. THEY ARE PROVIDING 38 PARKING SPACES AND THEY ARE HAVE. THEY DO HAVE A FIVE FOOT WIDE SIDEWALK ALONG THE FRONT WITH 33% LANDSCAPING. THE FIRE LANE IS LOCATED RIGHT ACROSS THE BUILDING ALONG THE FRONT, AND THE DRIVE ON THE EAST IS AN EXISTING DRIVE RIGHT HERE. SO. THE CONDITIONS OF THE SUP DO DO HAVE HOURS SET FOR THE DIFFERENT USES WITHIN THE LOT. SO THEY'RE PLANNING ON HAVING THREE RESTAURANTS, THE SMOKE SHOP USE AND THE FUELING STATION USE. PRETTY MUCH THE SITE PLAN IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE. THEY DID ALSO PROVIDE A FLOOR PLAN AND ELEVATIONS. WE MAILED OUT NOTICES TO SEVEN PROPERTY OWNERS AND DIDN'T RECEIVE ANYTHING IN FAVOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST. AND WITH THAT SAID, THE APPLICANT HAS PREPARED A PRESENTATION. IF Y'ALL WANT TO SEE IT. AND HERE IT IS. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. MY NAME IS KEVIN PATEL, TRIANGLE ENGINEERING, 1782 WEST MCDERMOTT DRIVE, ALLEN, TEXAS 75013. I'M THE ENGINEER OF RECORD FOR THIS PROJECT. WE DO HAVE A SHORT PRESENTATION AND I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU A BRAND OVERVIEW. IS THE GROWING BRAND OUT OF THE FLORIDA TECH FLORIDA SOMEWHERE IN FLORIDA, LAKELAND, FLORIDA. I THINK THEY HAVE A CURRENTLY THEY HAVE A 20 LOCATIONS. THEY ARE BUILDING ABOUT 25 MORE LOCATIONS THIS YEAR, AND THEY CONTINUE GROWING THEIR PIPELINE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND MORE IS TYPICALLY IN THE GASOLINE AS WELL AS. C STORE AND KIND OF A 
          [00:05:05]
RESTAURANT BUSINESS INSIDE THE C STORE. THAT'S TYPICALLY THEIR MODEL. SO THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION, I DON'T WANT TO REITERATE EVERYTHING WHAT KEVIN SAID. SO I'M JUST GOING TO SKIP THIS PARTICULAR SLIDE. IT GENERATES SIGNIFICANT LOCAL SALES TAX REVENUE. CREATE ABOUT 15 TO 20 PERMANENT JOBS AND HENCE NEIGHBORHOOD AMENITIES WITH THE QUALITY FOOD AND BEVERAGES OFFERING. IT ALSO SUPPORTS THE CITY GROWTH WITH THE PREMIUM CLEAN AND SAFE FACILITY. WE PROVIDED, THE BUILDING ELEVATION AND THE FLOOR PLAN ALONG WITH OUR SUBMITTAL, AND I THINK I BELIEVE IT'S IN YOUR PACKET AS WELL. WE MADE THE CITY ORDINANCE. WE BASICALLY WE HAVE THE SITE DRIVER CONNECTION TUCKED INSIDE ON THE EXISTING DRIVEWAYS ON THE EAST AND WEST. 
          I'M GOING TO SKIP THE SLIDES, WHICH IS KIND OF NOT RELATED AT THIS TIME. SO IT DELIVERS ECONOMICAL, ECONOMIC, ESTHETIC AND COMMUNITY VALUE, FILLS A GAP IN A FUEL AND CONVENIENCE SERVICES FOR THIS AREA DESIGNED TO BE SAFE, ATTRACTIVE AND ENDURING. COMMUNITY ASSET, STRONG OPERATOR WITH A PROVEN FRANCHISE SUCCESS. I DO HAVE THE FRANCHISEE WHO IS DEVELOPING THIS PROPERTY HERE TONIGHT AS WELL. HIS NAME IS BENSON. AND THESE ARE KIND OF SOME OF THE RENDERINGS OR SOME OF THE PICTURES OF THE EXISTING STORES. IT'S A COMMUNITY, COMMUNITY FOCUSED. DEVELOPMENT. AND LIKE I SAID BEFORE, IT GENERATES ABOUT 15 TO 20 PERMANENT JOBS. SO THAT'S KIND OF A SHORT PRESENTATION. I DID SKIP A FEW OF THE SLIDES. I THOUGHT IT'S UNNECESSARY. SO I DIDN'T WANT TO REITERATE THOSE THINGS. I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION YOU MIGHT HAVE. I'M GOING TO TAKE GO BACK TO THE SITE PLAN. SO THAT'S THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. AND OF COURSE WE ARE MEETING THE LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENT. WE ARE MEETING ALL THE CITY CITY OF WYLIE DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCES. I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION YOU MIGHT HAVE. DID YOU BACK UP A LITTLE BIT? DID YOU SAY YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS? YES, I DID, I APOLOGIZE. I THINK MY FIRST QUESTION. SO THESE FRIED CHICKEN, PIZZA HUT EXPRESS AND QUIZNOS, THOSE ARE WHAT YOU HOPE TO BRING IN THERE OR THAT'S WHAT WOULD BE THERE. I'M SORRY. THE THREE RESTAURANTS ARE FOOD QSR ONE, TWO AND THREE AND MOE'S FRIED CHICKEN. AND THEY WILL HAVE IT AS A PART OF THE CONVENIENCE STORE. CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, I'M GOING TO LET HIM ANSWER THE OPERATIONAL QUESTIONS. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. MY NAME IS BENSON OSIYO. I'M THE FRANCHISEE THAT IS DEVELOPING THAT LOCATION. SO WE IF YOU CAN GIVE US YOUR ADDRESS TOO. JUST FOR THE RECORD, YOU, SIR. THE ADDRESS. MY ADDRESS. OKAY. I LIVE IN THE CITY OF PROSPER AT 2370 BIG SKY DRIVE, PROSPER, TEXAS. THE ZIP CODE IS 75078. I'M PRIVILEGED TO BE THE FRANCHISEE DEVELOPER PROPOSING TO DEVELOP THAT LOCATION. AND WE HAVE WE'RE THINKING OF BRINGING IN THREE FOOD CONCEPT THE FAMOUS FRIED CHICKEN, WHICH IS A PROPRIETARY TO THE GROUP. THEN WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT BRINGING IN A PIZZA HUT TO THAT LOCATION, AS WELL AS A QUIZNOS. INITIALLY, WE HAD THOUGHT ABOUT ADDING A LIQUOR STORE TO THAT LOCATION, BUT AT OUR INITIAL MEETING WITH THE CITY ENGINEERS, YOU KNOW, WE FOUND OUT THAT IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE APPROVED. SO WE SORT OF SKIP THAT. THAT'S WHY THE PROPOSAL TO COME WITH A SMOKE SHOP, SUPPORTED BY THE FEASIBILITY STUDIES WE CONDUCTED AROUND THE AREA. RIGHT. BUT INITIALLY IT WAS GOING TO BE THE FAMOUS FRIED CHICKEN, THE PIZZA HUT, QUIZNOS AND A LIQUOR OFFERING THAT IS ALSO UNIQUE TO TUNICA. BUT BECAUSE OF APPROVAL LIMITATIONS HERE, WE HAD TO DROP THAT OPTION FOR LIQUOR. THE OPTION FOR WHAT? I'M SORRY YOU SAID OPTION FOR SMOKES. NO, THEY THEY ORIGINALLY WANTED TO DO LIKE A LIQUOR STORE, BUT THEY CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE WILEY, OUR CURRENT 
          [00:10:03]
CHARTER DOESN'T ALLOW FOR LIQUOR SALES AT THIS POINT. THAT IS CORRECT. MY QUESTION IS WHY THIS? THE REASON I'M ASKING THAT ON PAGE 12, RIGHT AT THE TOP, IT SAID THE PURPOSE OF THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT IS TO ALLOW FOR A FUELING STATION WITH A CONVENIENCE STORE, SMOKE OR VAPE SHOP, AND QUICK SERVE RESTAURANTS. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE SAYING. THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT IS NEEDED FOR. HOWEVER, ALL THOSE ITEMS ARE ALREADY INCLUDED AS IT STATES BELOW ARE ALLOWED BY RIGHT BY THE ZONING ORDINANCES. THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS RIGHT THERE. THIS IS THE FOLLOWING LISTED USES AS DEFINED IN ARTICLE FIVE AND SEVEN OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE ADOPTED ON MAY 22ND, 2025, AND AS DEPICTED IN THE ZONING EXHIBIT, EXHIBIT B SHALL BE ALLOWED BY RIGHT. 
          THAT'S IF RSVP IS APPROVED. THAT MEANS THAT THOSE THINGS ARE ALLOWED WITHIN THE SNP, NOT THE OVERALL ZONING. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF IT WAS WORDED THAT WAY. OKAY. WE CAN. WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE IS THEY'RE SAYING THEY NEED THE SUB. YEAH. NO. OKAY, I UNDERSTAND WE'LL WE CAN WORK ON THAT. AND THEN THEY TURN AROUND AND SAY DOWN BELOW ALL THOSE ITEMS ARE WELL THAT'S WHY IT SAYS SHALL BE ALLOWED BY RIGHT. IN OTHER WORDS, ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE CONDITIONS OF THE SUB IS TO ALLOW THOSE ITEMS WITHIN THE SUB BY RIGHT. SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK FOR ANY OTHER KIND OF APPROVAL. SO BUT YEAH, I UNDERSTAND. OKAY, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. 
          IT'S JUST THIS DOESN'T SAY THAT. OKAY. THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE IS YOU'VE LISTED OKAY. THE WAS IT MIKE AND MOE'S NICO, MOE'S NICK MOSS, AND ALSO QUIZNOS. AND PIZZA HUT EXPRESS. YES. YOU GO TO THE EXHIBIT ON PAGE TEN. AND THE ELEVATIONS ON THE PAGE 11. IS THIS THE ONE? BUT THE FLOOR PLAN. BACK UP ON THE FLOOR PLAN THERE. WHERE ARE THE QUIZNOS AND THE PIZZA HUT EXPRESS GOING INTO THIS FLOOR PLAN? IT DOESN'T. SO IT'S AN EITHER OR, EITHER QUIZNOS OR PIZZA HUT. IT'S ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, THAT SHELF SPACE. THAT'S WHERE HE'S PLANNING. HE'S PLANNING TO PUT IT OVER THERE. IF THE SMOKE SHOP DOESN'T WORK, THEN HE'S PLANNING TO BRING THE QUIZNOS. PIZZA HUT. 
          PIZZA HUT IS IN HERE, SO. OH, IT'S INSIDE THE PIZZA HUT EXPRESS IS NOT A FULL BLOWN PIZZA STORE. IT'S LIKE GRAB AND GO KIND OF OFFERING. YEAH. SO PIZZA HUT EXPRESS IS. YES. SO IT'S PRE PRE DONE PACKAGED. AND TO BRING THEM IN TO YOU IT'S SORT OF SEGMENTED OUT HERE WHERE WE'LL DISPENSE THAT. SO RIGHT ON THE NORTH SIDE YOU CAN SEE THE KITCHEN OVER THERE. THAT'S WHERE BASICALLY THE I CAN'T SEE WHERE YOU'RE POINTING RIGHT THERE. SORRY. RIGHT THERE. THAT'S THE KITCHEN AREA OKAY. SO ON THIS LAP YOU CAN SEE THIS IS A COOLER. THESE ARE THE GONDOLAS RESTROOMS BASICALLY ENTRY ENTRY RIGHT HERE. AND RECEPTION SHOULD BE RIGHT AROUND IN THE MIDDLE OR ON THE SIDE OKAY. THE REASON I'M ASKING THOSE IS YOU'RE ASKING THAT THIS SOUP WILL SERVE AS THE SITE PLAN. TYPICALLY THE SITE PLAN SHOWS HOW EVERYTHING IS LAID OUT. AND THIS IT WASN'T EXPLAINED OR ITEMIZED WHERE THOSE TWO PARTS WOULD BE. THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE PART OF A SITE PLAN. SO THE SITE PLAN, IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING AS AN ENGINEER SITE PLAN SHOWS THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT, HOW WE ARE, WHERE WE ARE HAVING A BUILDING AS WELL AS WHERE WE ARE HAVING THE PARKING FUEL STATIONS, SO AND SO FORTH. THE FLOOR PLAN, I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS REQUIRED. 
          ELEVATION WAS REQUIRED BY FLOOR PLAN. WE VOLUNTARILY PROVIDED THE FLOOR PLAN. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE FLOOR PLAN. I'M TALKING ABOUT THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT. YOU'RE SAYING THAT WILL SUFFICE FOR A SITE PLAN? YEAH. WHAT THEY'VE PROVIDED TO US DOES QUALIFY AS A SITE PLAN, CORRECT? THEY PRESENTED IT TO US AS A THIS WHAT? YOU'RE WHAT YOU SEE HERE, COMMISSIONER, IS A QUALIFIED SITE PLAN. OKAY. ALL OF THE RESTAURANTS THAT THEY HAVE LISTED WILL ALL BE INTERIOR TO THAT 4000 SQUARE FOOT CONVENIENCE STORE THAT YOU SEE. OKAY. 
          [00:15:20]
I THINK Y'ALL MAY HAVE MENTIONED IT AND I APOLOGIZE IF I DIDN'T CATCH IT. SPEAKING PERSONALLY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT OTHER COMMISSIONERS THINK, BUT AS FAR AS SO NOT TOO LONG AGO WE PASSED AN ORDINANCE ABOUT REGARDING SMOKE SHOPS. AND OBVIOUSLY THAT'S WHY OUR PART OF WHY YOU'RE HERE RECIPE. I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD GET BEHIND IT HAVING A SMOKE SHOP. AND SO I THINK Y'ALL MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT SMOKE SHOP. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SAID THAT Y'ALL WOULD BE WILLING TO REMOVE THAT. OR MAYBE I MISUNDERSTOOD, BUT IS THAT THAT'S THE GO BACK TO SITE PLAN OR THE LAYOUT? THAT'S THAT SHELL SPACE TO THE WEST EAST. SORRY. MY BAD. THAT'S WHERE THAT WOULD BE. SO IT'D BE KIND OF A STANDALONE. OPERATION. YEAH. SO THE SMOKE SHOP IS NOT A DEAL BREAKER. IF IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR US TO PUT A SMOKE SHOP ON THAT SHELF SPACE, WE HAVE THE OPTION OF PUTTING A DUNKIN DONUT STORE IN THAT PLACE WHERE WE'RE EXPLORING THAT OPTION. SO WE ARE WE ARE FLEXIBLE WITH THAT. IT'S NOT IT'S NOT A DEAL BREAKER THAT IT MUST BE A SMOKE SHOP. OKAY. 
          YEAH. LIKE I SAID, I DON'T KNOW HOW THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS FEEL ABOUT IT, BUT. YEAH, WE'VE KIND OF BECOME A LITTLE PICKY ON IT. ONE THING I WOULD RECOMMEND, IF THAT'S THE WAY THAT THE COMMISSION GOES OVERALL ABOUT THE SMOKE SHOP, MAYBE SHRINK THE OVERALL MAXIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED FOR SMOKE PRODUCTS ONLY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, MOST CONVENIENCE STORES DO HAVE CIGARETTES OR CHEWING TOBACCO BEHIND THE COUNTER. AND I'M SURE HE WOULD AT LEAST LIKE TO KEEP THAT PART OF THAT. SO, YOU KNOW, WE'D WANT SOME KIND OF SQUARE FOOTAGE ALLOWED, BUT MAYBE NOT AS MUCH FOR TO HAVE IT BE A STANDALONE AREA, IF THAT'S THE ROUTE THAT THE COMMISSION TAKES. 
          I THINK SOMETHING THAT SHOULD ALSO BE CLARIFIED IS BECAUSE THIS IS A CONVENIENCE STORE. 
          THEY MIGHT ALSO BE SELLING PRODUCTS INSIDE THE CONVENIENCE STORE THAT ARE SMOKING PRODUCTS. 
          SO YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE NOT JUST TO BE SPECIFIC ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. I APPRECIATE BOTH OF Y'ALL SAYING THAT, BECAUSE I PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THAT DETAILED AS FAR AS THE CONVENIENCE STORE GOES. AND AS FAR AS TOBACCO PRODUCTS GO, I DON'T REALLY CARE. IT'S MORE OF THE CANNABIS STUFF. SO THAT'S WHERE AND I KNOW THERE'S CONVENIENCE STORES IN WILEY THAT CAME ABOUT OR STARTED DOING THAT STUFF BEFORE THE ORDINANCE WAS PASSED OR REVISED PASSED, REVISED. SO THAT WOULD BE MY CONCERN IS JUST I THAT WOULD NOT BE SOMETHING THAT. I WOULD SUPPORT. OVERALL, I DON'T THINK AT THIS POINT I'VE A STRONG NEGATIVE OPINION ABOUT ANY OTHER PART OF THIS. IT'S JUST THAT THE. THE PART LEGAL CANNABIS RELATED PRODUCTS, THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE MY STANCE ON THAT. I DON'T. JASON, CAN WE PUT IN A CONDITION THAT BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE WITH THAT SPACE, THEY HAVE TO COME BACK TO US? FOR WHAT? FOR APPROVAL. I DON'T WANT TO GIVE THEM A BLANK CHECK FOR A SMOKE SHOP WITHOUT ANY DETAILS OR ANYTHING ELSE. WELL, I THINK THE WAY WE GO WITH THAT IS IF LIKE, SAY, IF EVERYBODY FOLLOWS COMMISSIONER, CHAIRMAN BUTLER'S LEGAL, WE JUST STRIKE THE LEGAL CANNABIS PART AS A POSSIBILITY AND THEN AND OR LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF FLOOR SPACE AND JUST DO THAT TODAY BECAUSE THIS IS A SITE PLAN AND AN SP THAT'S THIS IS KIND OF THE TIME TO DO THAT. SO WHATEVER DISCUSSION THAT WE NEED TO HAVE TODAY, I THINK THAT'S THE WAY TO GO ABOUT HOW WOULD WE DECIDE WHAT IF WE'RE PLANNING TO GO WITH A CONDITION OF REDUCING THE SQUARE FOOTAGE? HOW WOULD WE DETERMINE WHAT SQUARE FOOTAGE SHOULD BE? WELL, IT WOULD BE THAT SPACE. YOU KNOW, IT DEPENDS ON HOW YOU WANT TO GO ABOUT IT. DO YOU JUST WANT TO SHRINK THE SHELF SPACE? DO YOU WANT TO LIMIT IT TO JUST INSIDE THE ACTUAL CONVENIENCE STORE? I MEAN, I CAN WRITE THAT A COUPLE OF WAYS. AND ALSO, FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS A RECOMMENDATION SO I CAN WORK WITH THE APPLICANT ON TRYING TO FIGURE OUT AN EXACT SPACE OR WHAT SHOULD BE IN THERE, AND THE AMOUNT OF SPACE THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN UP. AND THEN WHEN IT GOES 
          [00:20:06]
TO COUNCIL, THOSE CONDITIONS ARE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL AND THEN THEY'LL MAKE THE FINAL DECISION THERE. SO THAT'S ONE WAY TO LOOK AT IT. SO FOR EXAMPLE, WE COULD SAY THAT THE LEGAL CANNABIS TAKE OUT THE LEGAL CANNABIS PART AND LIMIT IT TO 300FT■!S INSIDE THE CONVENIENCE STORE ONLY, NOT THE SHELF SPACE, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND I CAN GET THAT WORDING CORRECTED. AND THEN IF 300FT■!SS NOT EXACTLY RIGHT, YOU KNOW, AFTER THEY LOOK AT THEIR LAYOUT, WE'LL, WE'LL MAKE THAT MINOR ADJUSTMENT AND SAY HERE, AND WHEN I GO TO COUNCIL, I'LL PRESENT IT IN SUCH A WAY THAT'LL SAY THE PNC WANTED REC. KEEP IT JUST TO THE CONVENIENCE STORE AREA. THEY TALKED ABOUT 300. 
          TURNS OUT WE NEED 325. SO THE APPLICANT IS ASKING FOR THAT AND THEN COUNCIL WILL MAKE THAT DECISION. IT CAN BE PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. SO BUT IS THERE A CITY STANDARD THAT WE HAVE FOR THAT TYPE OF SQUARE. WE DON'T OKAY. SO WE DON'T HAVE A WAY TO REALLY CAP THIS. IF THAT WERE GOING TO BE THE CASE IT WOULD JUST BE A RECOMMENDATION. WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH SPACE WE CAN GIVE AND WHAT WE CAN'T. YEAH. AND THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER WAY TO GO AND JUST SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, WE'RE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE SHELF SPACE. WE WOULD LIKE TO WHATEVER THE MINIMUM SPACE WOULD BE INSIDE THE CONVENIENCE STORE. AND I'LL WORK WITH THE APPLICANT TO FIGURE THAT OUT. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'LL TAKE TO COUNCIL. IT WILL I GUARANTEE YOU IT'LL BE LESS THAN 1100 SQUARE FEET. I MEAN, IT'D BE, YOU KNOW, I WOULD GUESS MAYBE 100 OR 200FT■!S BEHD THE COUNTER. YEAH. YOU KNOW, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH JUST GIVING A BLANK CHECK. SURE. AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT. WE'LL JUST LIMIT IT TO THAT. AND THEN LIKE I SAID, COUNCIL STILL HAS TO, YOU KNOW, LOOK AT IT. SO THERE'S STILL ANOTHER ROUND TO GO THE OTHER SIDE OF IT. AND YOU CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. THEY WANT A CONVENIENCE STORE. SO IF THEY CAME BACK AND SAID, HEY, WE JUST WANT IT ALL TO BE A TOBACCO SHOP, I THINK THAT WOULD CHANGE THE USE. THAT IS. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. WE'RE GOING TO PUT A SQUARE FOOTAGE. YEAH. WE ARE GOING TO PUT A SQUARE FOOTAGE LIMIT ON IT. THERE IS NO DOUBT. 
          I KNOW THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR. RIGHT. SO LET ME CLARIFY ONE THING. AFTER SPEAKING TO BEN'S AND BASICALLY HE WANTS TO COMPLETELY ELIMINATE THE SMOKE SHOP AS WELL AS THE CANNABIS. WELL THAT'S WHAT THE CHAIRMAN WANTS RIGHT NOW, BUT THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY WHAT THE REST OF THE COMMISSION HAS SAID YET. WE'RE JUST DISCUSSING OPTIONS ABOUT HOW TO GO ABOUT THAT, IF THAT'S THE WAY THE CORRECT. BUT JUST TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CLEAR DIRECTION, I THINK WE WOULD GO WITH THE ANY DONUT SHOP. I MEAN, I WANT TO KIND OF CALL IT OUT AS A DONUT SHOP OR RETAIL SHOP RATHER THAN HAVING A CANNABIS OR ANYTHING, ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE SMOKE. OKAY, IF WE CAN CLARIFY THAT, I THINK IN ORDINANCE SOME WAY, I THINK THAT MAKES IT VERY CLEAR, AND HE WILL IF HE WANTS TO EVER SELL THE CANNABIS OR SMOKE, BASICALLY HE HAS TO COME BACK TO THE CITY FOR THAT PURPOSE ONLY, RIGHT? HOWEVER, THE WAY THAT THE ORDINANCE IS WRITTEN, WE STILL HAVE TO HAVE SMOKE SHOP AS PART OF THE SHOP BECAUSE IF YOU SMELL, SMELL, STILL SELL CIGARETTES OR CHEWING TOBACCO OR ANYTHING EVEN LIKE THAT, THE WAY THE ORDINANCE IS WRITTEN, YOU HAVE TO HAVE SQUARE FOOTAGE AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE BE PART OF THE SOUP. YEAH. AND SO IT WOULD STILL HAVE TO BE PART OF THE SHOP. AND THEN WE JUST SHRINK THE SQUARE FOOTAGE. UNDERSTOOD. AND WE CAN PROVIDE YOU THE SQUARE FOOTAGE HERE AND WE CAN FIGURE THAT OUT. THAT'S ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTELY. OKAY, JASON, WE JUST LEAVE THAT EXTRA SPACE SHELL SPACE OPEN. YES. THE SHELL SPACE WOULD BE OPEN TO ANYTHING THAT'S ALLOWED INSIDE CC, WHICH WOULD BE FINE. YOU KNOW, I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF BUY RIGHT STUFF, LIKE YOU SAID, A DONUT SHOP, ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT COULD BE PUT IN THERE THAT COULD FIT THIS PARTICULAR USE OR IN THAT AREA. WELL, TYPICALLY DEALING WITH CONVENIENCE STORES LIKE I'VE DEALT WITH BEFORE, THEY DON'T GO EXCEED 10%, RIGHT? YES. IT'S VERY SMALL. I WOULD I WOULD THINK THAT THE 400FT■!S IS ONLY 110FT■!S. YEAH. AND THAT'S QUITA BIT WHEN YOU'RE JUST ACROSS THE WALL. YEAH, EXACTLY. WELL, CAN WE JUST SAY THAT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE WILL BE, WILL BE TBD BASED ON THEIR DISCUSSIONS AND. SURE. WITH YOU. YEAH, I WOULD SAY THAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO THAT ROUTE TO JUST SAY IT NEEDS TO BE LIMITED TO INSIDE THE CONVENIENCE STORE, BEHIND THE COUNTER ONLY, AND THAT STAFF WILL WORK WITH THEM TO FIGURE OUT A SQUARE FOOTAGE MAXIMUM ON THAT. IF YOU'D SAY THAT I'VE GOT IT, I WILL TAKE CARE OF IT. WELL, LET'S HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT. I'M JUST GOING TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN OBVIOUSLY WE CAN HAVE MORE DISCUSSION. I HAVE ONE COMPLETELY UNRELATED TO THE SMOKE SHOP PIECE, WITH YOU HAVING THREE RESTAURANTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE GOING IN HERE, REGARDLESS OF THE NATURE OF THEM AND LOOKING AT YOUR SITE PLAN, DO YOU HAVE ANY INTENTIONS OF ADDING A DRIVE THROUGH AT ALL, OR IS IT GOING TO BE STRICTLY GOING IN? NO SIR. OKAY. DRIVE THRUS ARE ALSO SPECIAL USE 
          [00:25:01]
PERMIT A SEPARATE SPECIAL USE. IT WOULD BE A SPECIAL. YEAH. SO IF THEY WERE GOING TO DO A DRIVE THROUGH THEY'D WANT TO HAVE IT AS PART OF THIS. NOW THAT'S WHY I WANT TO. BUT THERE'S NO WAY THAT THIS COULD EVER BE A DRIVE. WELL, I SHOULD SAY NEVER, BUT WHERE THE. YEAH. WHERE YOU LOOK AT THE LOCATION AND YOU LOOK AT WHERE THE, THE TRASH BIN IS AND ALL THIS OTHER STUFF. YEAH. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THOUGH WITH THEM HAVE THE THREE RESTAURANTS AND WHATNOT. SURE. COOL. WE DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. I'M GONNA OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. I'LL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING PORTION OF THIS ITEM. IS ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO GET UP AND LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD? MAKE A COMMENT. YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO COME UP. SINCE NOBODY'S COMING UP, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. AND MOVE ON. 
          DISCUSSION. LIKE I SAID, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE APPLICANT IS OKAY WITH IT. OBVIOUSLY, I VALUE Y'ALL'S OPINION TOO. YEAH, I'D WANT THE CANNABIS PART AND THEN JUST THE SMOKE SHOP IN GENERAL OUT AS FAR AS CONVENIENCE STORE GOES AND TOBACCO PRODUCTS. THAT DOESN'T BOTHER ME. I MEAN, THAT'S KIND OF GOES HAND IN HAND WITH ONE ANOTHER. SO. YEAH, I'D BE OPEN WITH THE DISCUSSION. I'M NOT GOING TO TRY TO REPEAT EVERYTHING I'VE SAID RIGHT NOW. CAN YOU, CAN YOU REMIND ME? YEAH. CAN YOU REMIND ME WHAT OUR CHANGES WERE TO THE ORDINANCE AROUND THE SALE, DISTRIBUTION OF THC INFUSED PRODUCTS AT STORES WITHIN WYLIE? SAY THAT AGAIN. CAN YOU REMIND ME WHAT OUR ORDINANCE CHANGE WAS SPECIFICALLY FOR THC INFUSED PRODUCTS OR ANYTHING THAT IS LEGAL, THAT IS TOBACCO OR THC LEGAL CANNABIS, LET'S SAY THAT WAY, TOBACCO OR LEGAL CANNABIS OR VAPE TYPE OF PRODUCTS, ANY ONE OF THOSE REQUIRED AN SUP. OKAY. ANY OTHER. JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE. YES, SIR. AND THEN THE NATURE OF THE SUP IS OBVIOUSLY SUBJECTIVE AS EACH REQUEST COMES THROUGH BECAUSE IT'S DIFFERENT. THAT IS CORRECT. EACH ONE IS ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S ALL. I JUST I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE HAD A SPECIFIC STANDARD THAT WE ALWAYS FELL BACK ON. SAY THAT AGAIN. LEGAL CANNABIS MAY BE CHANGING AT THE STATE LEVEL. YES. YES. AS OF RIGHT NOW. IT IS. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD? OBVIOUSLY WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE SMOKE SHOP SIDE OF IT. IF THERE'S OTHER THINGS. QUESTIONS ANSWERED, CONCERNS BROUGHT FORTH, CHANGES THAT YOU'D LIKE, PLEASE LET US KNOW. I WILL SAY ONE THING ADDITIONAL. 
          AND I'M GOING TO MESS UP THE WORDING, BUT KEVIN CAN HELP ME SINCE HE'S FINALLY BACK AT WORK TWO DAYS A WEEK. YEAH, THERE'S NOTHING IN HERE. LIKE, IF THEY WERE TO SELL THIS, IT PASSES ON TO THEM OR PASSES ON TO THE PERSON AS IF YOU GOT APPROVED TODAY AND THEY SOLD IT, IT WOULD JUST BE STUCK WITH THE PROPERTY. CORRECT. SO CAN WE PUT IN SOMETHING THERE? THAT WOULD BE IF IT'S SOLD, TRANSFERRED? YEAH. YOU CAN HAVE A CONDITION THAT SAYS THE SMOKING PRODUCTS ARE ONLY ALLOWED WITH THE CURRENT PROPERTY OWNER. NO, I MEAN THE WHOLE THING. YEAH. OR IS THAT THE SMOKING I THINK WITH THE SMOKE SHOP BEING GONE, THAT'S A BIT MUCH. OKAY. BECAUSE. YEAH, BECAUSE THE FUELING STATION I MEAN IT'S A GAS STATION. IF THE GENTLEMAN EVER DECIDES TO SELL IT, YOU'RE HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO ALLOW IT TO SELL IT AS A GAS STATION. YEAH. THE SMOKE SHOP IS GONE. SO. OKAY. AND IT WOULD JUST STAY AS IS. YES, SIR. OKAY. OKAY. NEVER MIND ANY MORE QUESTIONS? COMMENTS, CONCERNS. AND THAT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE GENERALLY ON THE SAME PAGE. SO IF SOMEONE WANTS TO MAKE A MOTION OR I CAN TRY, I MOVE THAT WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL WITH THE CONDITIONS WE TALKED ABOUT WITH RESTRICTION OF THE SQUARE FOOTAGE AND TO BE CONTAINED WITHIN THE WALLS OF THE CONVENIENCE STORE, YOU CAN WORK THAT LANGUAGE IN FOR IT. YES, SIR. OKAY. THANK YOU. WOULD THAT INCLUDE REMOVAL OF THE THC SIDE OF IT? YES, SIR. YES. OKAY. I SECOND MOTION AND A SECOND. PLEASE VOTE. I'M MISSING ONE. WHAT HAPPENED?
