Mar 05, 2024 Planning and Zoning

[00:00:01]

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD HERE, PEOPLE.

ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE OF SEVEN PRESENT, WHICH IS A QUORUM ACCORDING TO MY MY MATH CALCULATIONS.

SO I'LL OFFICIALLY CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER.

WE'LL START WITH THE PLEDGES OF ALLEGIANCE.

YOU MAY BE SEATED. OKAY.

ANY CITIZEN COMMENTS? ANYONE ON THE CALL? ANYONE? NO.

NO CITIZEN COMMENTS.

OKAY, STAFF, DO WE HAVE AN UPDATE?

[D. STAFF/DIRECTOR REPORT AND DEVELOPMENT UPDATE]

SO IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT, I'LL SEND A MEETING REQUEST OUT, BUT IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT, JUST LET US KNOW, AND WITH THAT WITH WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO SEE THAT ON THE UPCOMING.

OKAY, AND THE ONLY OTHER THING I WAS GOING TO MENTION IS ENTRADA JUST TO GIVE EVERYBODY A CHART UPDATE, BECAUSE I KNOW EVERYBODY'S INTERESTED IN ENTRADA.

WE ARE STILL WORKING THROUGH SOME THINGS WITH ENTRADA, BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS MOVING FORWARD.

THERE'S A HOTEL THAT'S CURRENTLY BEING CONSIDERED.

IT'S A SITE PLAN LEVEL THAT SHOULD NOT REQUIRE ANY P&Z OR COUNCIL APPROVAL BECAUSE IT ONLY NEEDS ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL, BUT WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR REVISIONS TO COME BACK.

SO THAT'S BEING REVIEWED AND THAT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT DEVELOPER OTHER THAN THE ENTRADA DEVELOPER.

THE TWO RESTAURANTS ALONG TARRAGONA THAT ARE IN THE RESTAURANT ROW.

I WENT BY THERE TODAY. THEY'VE STOPPED CONSTRUCTION.

WE'VE TRIED TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEM AND SEE WHERE THEY ARE, BUT WE HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING BACK FROM THEM, SO NOT REALLY.

THOSE PERMITS ARE STILL ACTIVE, BUT WE JUST HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING BACK FROM THE DEVELOPER ON.

SO THERE IS SOME PROGRESS ALSO BEING MADE FROM THE DEVELOPER ABOUT WANTING TO COME BACK AND AMEND THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO P&Z LAST NOVEMBER, AND [INAUDIBLE] DRAWN BY THE DEVELOPER.

SO I'M THINKING MAYBE IN A 2 OR 3 MONTHS WE MAY SEE SOME STUFF START TO MOVE AGAIN IN THAT.

OTHER THAN THAT JUST WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH TONIGHT, AND THEN, OF COURSE, DELOITTE'S MOVING ALONG AT A RAPID PACE, AND WE'LL SEE SOME OTHER THINGS COME FORWARD IN FRONT OF THE COMMISSION AGAIN NEXT MONTH, PROBABLY THE ENSUING MONTHS AFTER THAT.

OKAY. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

RON, FOR THAT HOTEL, IS THAT ON THE SITE NEAR THE PARKING STRUCTURE? THAT'S RIGHT NEXT TO THE PARKING STRUCTURE ON THE SIDE CLOSEST TO WHERE THE STARBUCKS COMPLEX IS.

THE RETAIL CORNER, AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD BE.

IT'S TECHNICALLY IT'S NOT A LIMITED SERVICE HOTEL, BUT IT WOULD BE A HILTON GARDEN INN.

NOW, BUT OBVIOUSLY THE ARCHITECTURE IS GOING TO MATCH THE ENTRADA ARCHITECTURE.

ANYTHING ELSE. ANYONE? OKAY, AGENDA ITEM E1 CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A PRELIMINARY SITE EVALUATION FOR THE CIRCLE T FRONT

[E.1. 24-058 Conduct a public hearing and consider recommending approval of a preliminary site evaluation for the Circle T Front 44 Phase One development, containing 16.38 acres, located between State Highway 114/170 and Schwab Way.]

STAFF, DO WE HAVE A PRESENTATION? SOMETHING ON MY SCREEN HERE.

SO THIS IS A PRELIMINARY SITE EVALUATION FOR THE FRONT 44 DEVELOPMENT.

THIS PRELIMINARY PRELIMINARY SITE EVALUATION AND THE CONCEPT PLAN THAT IS BEING CONSIDERED AFTER THIS ON THE AGENDA ARE SPECIFIC TO A 16 ACRE AREA THAT YOU SEE ON THE GRAPHIC IN FRONT OF YOU.

THIS IS NOT THE ENTIRE PD DISTRICT.

THIS IS JUST FOR THIS PORTION OF IT.

SO BASICALLY IT'S A FIRST PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT.

THE LAND THAT YOU SEE IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST, WHICH WOULD BE AT THE CORNER OF SCHWAB WAY, AND 114 THAT IS OWNED BY CHARLES SCHWAB, AND THEY ARE LOOKING TO PUT A KIND OF A FLAGSHIP RETAIL STORE THERE WHERE YOU COULD GO IN AND BANK AND MAYBE PURCHASE SOME SCHWAB PRODUCTS, TALK TO AN ADVISOR THAT WILL PROBABLY COME PRETTY SOON AFTER THIS, I'VE REACHED OUT TO SCHWAB TO KIND OF GET AN IDEA OF THEIR PHASING.

THEY'RE WORKING ON IT, BUT IT'LL COME SUBSEQUENT TO THIS.

SO BUT THEY ARE WORKING ON IT, BUT THAT'S GOING TO BE A DIFFERENT APPLICATION.

[00:05:02]

SO THIS IS THE PRELIMINARY SITE EVALUATION AND CONCEPT PLAN.

THIS PD DOES NOT HAVE AN APPROVED CONCEPT PLAN UNLIKE MOST OF THE OTHER PDS OUT IN THE CIRCLE T RANCH.

THIS ONE DOESN'T HAVE ONE BECAUSE WHEN THEY SPLIT THIS PD DISTRICT TO BRING THE SCHWAB CAMPUS IN, THEY WENT AHEAD AND SCHWAB WAS COMING IN PRETTY QUICKLY. THEY WERE GOING TO CIRCLE BACK WITH THIS ONE AND BRING THE CONCEPT PLAN IN LATER.

SO FOR MANY DIFFERENT REASONS THE PROJECT GOT DELAYED.

SO NOW THEY'RE AT A POINT WHERE THEY'RE READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT, AND THIS IS THE FIRST PHASE OF IT.

SO THE PRELIMINARY SITE EVALUATION, THERE'S NOT MUCH TO LOOK ON THIS OTHER THAN THE STREET LAYOUTS AND FUTURE LOT LAYOUTS.

THE CONCEPT PLAN AFTER IT.

EFFECTIVELY MATCHES THE PRELIMINARY SITE EVALUATION, EXCEPT IT'S GOT A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL.

WHOOPS. IT JUST SHOWS YOU THE STREET LAYOUT AND THE LOT LAYOUT.

THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS THE NEXT ITEM TO SUBMIT ON THIS, WHICH GETS INTO MORE DETAIL, AND THEY ARE GOING TO SUBMIT THAT ONCE THIS GETS APPROVED, AND THAT'S WHEN WE'RE REALLY GOING TO START TO SEE HOW THIS DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO LOOK WHEN IT COMES TOGETHER.

I SAW RENDITIONS OR RENDERINGS, 3D RENDERINGS.

SO THE PRESENTATION YOU HAVE IN YOUR PACKETS REALLY KIND OF GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT THIS IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE, BUT OBVIOUSLY THOSE DETAILS ARE STILL FORTHCOMING WITH THE SITE PLAN TO INCLUDE EVERYTHING SO YOU'LL.

THE DETAILS, THEN YOU KNOW, YOU CAN OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS.

YOU CAN COMBINE THE PUBLIC HEARINGS IF YOU'D LIKE TO DO THE PRELIMINARY SITE EVALUATION AND THE CONCEPT PLAN TOGETHER, AND, YOU KNOW, THE DEVELOPER'S HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

BEFORE THEY COME UP, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME, I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER.

OKAY. ANY ONE, QUESTIONS? SO THEY THE DEVELOPER HAS PROPOSED PUBLIC ROADS.

HOWEVER, WE JUST HAD A DRC MEETING TO DISCUSS THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN ON MONDAY, AND WE WERE TALKING WITH THE DEVELOPER ABOUT POTENTIALLY DOING THESE AS PRIVATE ROADS. WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH THAT THOUGH.

THERE IS PRECEDENT FOR DOING SOME OF THESE AS PRIVATE ROADS, BUT THERE'S ALSO PRECEDENT FOR PUBLIC ROADS AS WELL.

SO I WOULD SAY WHEN YOU GET THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN IN FRONT OF YOU, WE'LL HAVE THAT PINNED DOWN ONE WAY OR, AND WE SUPPORT HIS HOT BUTTON.

TOO MANY SOUTHLAKE HORROR STORIES AROUND UTILITIES UNDER THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET.

DID YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE APPLICANT OR WOULD LIKE THEM TO COME UP TO SAY ANYTHING? YEAH. NO, LET'S COMBINE THESE.

SO LET ME JUST READ IT FOR THE RECORD.

WE'RE GOING TO COMBINE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR A ALSO INCLUDING AGENDA ITEM E2, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING.

CONSIDER RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO ORDINANCE 769, AS AMENDED, APPROVING A CONCEPT PLAN FOR A PORTION OF THE PD3-5, A ZONING DISTRICT LOCATED BETWEEN STATE HIGHWAY 114, 170 AND SCHWAB WAY.

SO IT'S A YIN AND A YANG.

ANY QUESTIONS? IF NOT, I'M GOING TO OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING.

DOTTIE, DO WE HAVE ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO COMMENT? NO, WE DON'T ON THIS.

OKAY. I'M ASSUMING THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL PRESENTATION THAT THIS THIS IS IT? NO. I WAS GOING TO TRY TO KEEP MY MY END OF THIS KIND OF SHORT AND SIMPLE.

GO AHEAD. THE DEVELOPER CAN GO INTO A LOT MORE DETAIL THAN I CAN ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE PREVIEWS OF COMING ATTRACTIONS, SO TO SPEAK.

SO WHAT I SAW LOOKED WONDERFUL, AND I THINK HAVING THE HOTEL, HAVING THE RETAIL, THE RESTAURANTS, I THINK WE'RE GENERALLY IN, YOU KNOW, IN SUPPORT OF AND WHERE THIS STRIP OF LAND IS TUCKED.

I THINK LOOKING AT SCHWAB WAY IS ESTHETICALLY PLEASING MYSELF, BUT HEY, WHO AM I? AND THIS IS BETWEEN THAT AND THE FREEWAY.

SO THERE'S REALLY NO VISUAL IMPACT TO ANYBODY OTHER THAN THE FREEWAY, AND IT WAS A NICE LOOKING RETAIL KIND OF CONCEPTUAL DRAWING.

ONE THING YOU SEE UP THERE ALONG 114 170 IS THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER, AND THAT GOES BACK TO WHAT THE COMP PLAN RECOMMENDS AND ALSO WHAT THE ORDINANCES REQUIRE.

SO THAT IS PROPOSED TO BE PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT, AND WE'VE ACTUALLY WE'RE ALREADY LOOKING AT PLANS THAT SHOW THAT LANDSCAPED AREA.

[00:10:06]

SO THE LANDSCAPING IS GENERALLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH WHAT THE TOWN REQUIRES.

SO REALLY IT'S MORE ABOUT JUST BUILDING MASSING LAYOUT [INAUDIBLE] POINT [INAUDIBLE] GETTING THE FINAL DETAILS IN.

YEAH, AND SO YOU HAD JUST I MEAN, THE STAFF HAD NO RECOMMENDATIONS WITH REGARD TO THIS.

YOUR RECOMMENDATION WAS TO APPROVE AS SUBMITTED.

THAT'S CORRECT. THESE ARE VERY SIMPLE REQUESTS, ACTUALLY.

SO WHEN THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN COMES FORWARD, WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL.

WE MAY HAVE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS THERE.

WE'RE JUST STILL WORKING THROUGH THE INITIAL REVIEW OF THAT, BUT FOR THIS WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL AS SUBMITTED.

DOES ANYBODY UP HERE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT EITHER E1 OR E2? NO? CAN I HAVE A MOTION THEN TO APPROVE? A MOTION TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED.

CAN I HAVE A SECOND? OKAY. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? NO. MOTION CARRIES.

UNANIMOUS DECISION.

SO YOU DO HAVE TO TECHNICALLY VOTE ON EACH ITEM SEPARATELY.

SO WE'LL CALL THAT THE VOTE FOR E1.

OKAY, WE'LL CALL THAT E1.

OKAY. MAY I HAVE A MOTION ON E2?

[E.2. 24-059 Conduct a public hearing and consider recommending approval of amendments to Ordinance 769, as amended, approving a concept plan for a portion of the PD3-5A zoning district, located between State Highway 114/170 and Schwab Way]

SECOND. OKAY.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE AYE AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? NONE OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUS OF MEMBERS PRESENT.

OKAY, WE HAVE ONE MORE ITEM.

THIS SHOULD BE CONTROVERSIAL.

[F.1. 24-060 Consider approving minutes from the February 13, 2024 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting; and take appropriate action]

CONSIDER APPROVING THE MINUTES FROM THE FEBRUARY 13TH, 2024 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING.

I THINK IT WAS EIGHT MINUTES IN LENGTH.

NOT QUITE A RECORD, BUT IT WAS CLOSE.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANYBODY HERE? OKAY. MAY I HAVE A MOTION? A SECOND? SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? NONE OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES.

MINUTES ARE APPROVED.

WITH THAT, I WILL CONCLUDE THE MEETING.

AM I MISSING ANYTHING? MEETING MAY NOW BE ADJOURNED.
