ALL ADJOINING UNADDRESSED PROPERTIES. MAKE A
RECOMMENDATION(S) TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER ZONING MAP
AMENDMENTS FOR ALL THE PROPERTIES LISTED ABOVE.
Ricky Head began the discussion by suggesting that we take the undeveloped
properties out of the rezoning discussion. Chris Baker, owner of a number of the
properties in the district, also spoke to the Commission. All were in agreement that
cement plants and other noxious uses were not necessarily desired, but we do want to
open the district to more uses than just a straight heavy commercial zoning. After some
discussion, staff suggested that we look into hiring a planning consultant to write up a
zoning ordinance to consider. Ricky Head mentioned that we need to make sure that
we include a retail component and make provisions to ease the parking requirements.
5. PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF A ZONING MAP AMENDMENT
TO REZONE THE PROPERTY AT 2625 HANDLEY EDERVILLE RD,
CURRENTLY ZONED MIXED USE
P&Z requested this agenda item in order to add this property, adjacent to the train
station, to the Entertainment District Overlay that Council created on May 14. Chris
Baker, the property owner, spoke to this issue. He said he will not necessarily contest
the rezoning but he may come back to the city at a future date if he finds someone who
wants the property and the zoning does not work. The public hearing was opened and
no one else spoke to the item. Ricky Head motioned that the commission approve
adding 2625 Handley Ederville to the Entertainment District Overlay. Erick Sabin
seconded the motion and all approved.
6. PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AT
7059 MIDWAY ROAD, CURRENTLY ZONED MIXED USE..
This is a approximately 10 acres of vacant land at the far west end of Burns street that
Chris Baker would like to develop for a particular tenant moving from Haltom City. The
development is similar in scope and design to the PD recently approved on Austin
Road. Chris Baker spoke to the plans for the property and answered various questions
from the commission. Mr. LaPointe opened and closed a public hearing at 6:54 pm; no
one came forward. Erick Sabin motioned that the PD Design be approved as submitted
with the following modifications: relax the building materials standards to allow for a
metal building with a vertical dimension of masonry equal to what was approved in the
Austin Road PD, that the screening requirement be expanded to include both Midway
Road and Burns Street, that unpaved surfaces be removed from the list of parking
surfaces, that we remove the setback changes in the design statement, and that the
applicant adds the drainage characteristics of the property be added to the site plan for
the PD.
