7. PUBLIC HEARING FOR A SUP AT 7207 LATHAM DRIVE
Kat and Jack Terrell came before the commission seeking an SUP to operate a body art
studio at the property they own at 7207 Latham. The SUP process requires that the
owners move the property toward current zoning ordinance requirements.
Commissioners discussed how the owners could meet the requirements of both the
parking and landscape ordinance given the limitations at the site. Mr. Head inquired
about parking at peak times and the Terrell's stated that with 2-3 tattoo artist's they
wouldn't expect to exceed twelve parked cars. Sherry Utchell mentioned that she
became aware of the Terrell's through their participation in school fundraisers near their
Keller store. Chris Utchell (husband of commissioner Utchell), of 2809 Willow Park,
also spoke in the public hearing in favor of the SUP.
8. ITEM FOR CONSIDERATION
Sherry Utchell motioned that P&Z send a recommendation of approval to City Council
for an SUP for a body art studio at 7207 Latham in accordance with the site plan
submitted and with the provision that the western landscape bed be xeriscaped without
a requirement for irrigation and the dumpster be enclosed in fencing per city ordinance.
9. PUBLIC HEARING FOR A PUD AT 2500 AUSTIN ROAD
Andy Hickson, owner of Plaster Pros in Haltom City, has a contract on this property and
is seeking to have it rezoned as a Planned Development (PD). He intends to begin
building immediately to relocate his own business and then continue developing the
property with four spec flex space buildings that he can lease. As part of the PD he is
asking for the city allow some additional uses that are not currently available in the
Industrial (I) district -particularly automotive or RV repair type companies. He has also
requested some loosening of the city standards on masonry requirements and the
ability to protect the property with chain link and barbed wire fencing. Rudy Saucedo,
the owner of Modern Heat Treat at 2550 Austin Road spoke at the public hearing in
favor of the PD as long as the City implements a solution to the drainage that flows to
his property from the lot in this proposal.
10. ITEM FOR CONSIDERATION
Ricky Head made a motion to send a recommendation to city council to accept the PD
proposal for the property at 2500 Austin Road based on a Industrial (I) zoning district,
including the provisions and uses in the PD design statement and adding a 20 foot
height restriction on accessory structures, a three foot wainscoting of class 1 masonry
on public facing sides of all buildings, and a minimum fence height of 6 feet if barbed
wire will be placed atop the fence. Sherry Utchell provided a second all voted in favor.
