PD ON APPROXIMATELY 1.73 ACRES OF LAND, GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF RANCH ROAD AND MONTESSORI LANE, WITHIN THE SACHSE CITY LIMITS. COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS, MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT A.

PRESENTATION. YES, SIR. I'LL BE MAKING THE PRESENTATION.

GOOD EVENING. COMMISSION. THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU TONIGHT.

THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS FOR THE RANCH BILL PLAN DEVELOPMENT REQUEST.

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION FOR THE REZONING OF A PARCEL ZONED I-2 TO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, WHICH WOULD HAVE A BASE ZONING DISTRICT OF C.1 AND IS GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF RANCH ROAD AND MONTESSORI LANE.

THE APPLICANT IS HERE TONIGHT. THIS IS APPROXIMATELY 1.73 ACRES.

CURRENTLY, IT'S VACANT LAND AND IS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE JC SACHSE CITY PARK TO THE SOUTH AND WEST.

[00:05:03]

PHASE EIGHT ACROSS RANCH ROAD TO THE NORTH IN FRONT OF YOU IS THE AERIAL MAP OF THE LOCATION HERE.

AS I SAID, IT'S ON THAT SOUTHWEST CORNER OF RANCH AND MONTESSORI LANE THERE.

ZONING, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, IT IS ZONED I-2 CURRENTLY.

NEXT TO IT IS A SUB FOR THAT DAYCARE THERE FOR THE MONTESSORI SCHOOL.

AND SOUTH AS WELL AS WEST IS ZONED RESIDENTIAL.

THE PROPOSED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT IS C-1 NEIGHBORHOOD SHOPPING ZONING REQUIREMENTS.

WITH THE FOLLOWING CHANGES. WE WOULD BE REMOVING THE SIX FOOT MASONRY WALL REQUIREMENT ALONG THE PROPERTY LINES WHERE A TYPE ONE BUFFER EXISTS THAT IS TYPICALLY BETWEEN COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS, THERE WOULD REMAIN A TEN FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER BETWEEN THE TWO, WITH THE REQUIRED TREES WITHIN THAT BUFFER FOR SCREENING, BUT WOULD ALSO REMOVE THAT WALL BETWEEN THE TWO AND KIND OF ALLOW FOR CROSS ACCESS BETWEEN THE PARK AS WELL AS THE RETAIL DEVELOPMENT HERE.

ALONG WITH THE REQUEST, THERE IS A REQUEST FOR A SIDE YARD SETBACK REDUCTION FROM 25FT ALONG MONTESSORI LANE DOWN TO FIVE FEET.

WITH THIS, THERE WOULD BE A RIGHT OF WAY LANDSCAPE BUFFER WITH REDUCED FROM A MINIMUM OF 10FT TO 5FT ALONG MONTESSORI LANE AS WELL.

AND THEN THERE ARE SOME REVISIONS TO THE USE CHART FOR STANDARD C-1 ZONING DISTRICTS, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE THE REMOVAL OF HOTEL MOTEL, INDEPENDENT SENIOR LIVING CHILD.

CHILDCARE CENTER. DAYCARE. FUNERAL HOME. MICROBREWERY.

AUTO LEASING. AUTO REPAIR. MAJOR AND MINOR. CAR WASH.

GAS PUMPS. FUEL SALES. DRIVE THRU ESTABLISHMENTS.

LABORATORY. LIGHT MANUFACTURING. DISTILLERY. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.

DATA CENTER AND STORAGE FACILITY. CONDITION SPACE.

ALL OF THOSE WHICH WOULD NORMALLY BE ALLOWED BY SCP WITHIN THE C-1 ZONING DISTRICT ARE BEING REMOVED AND NOT ALLOWED AT ALL.

ADDITIONAL WITH THIS, THEY WOULD BE ASKING FOR THE RIGHTS TO INCLUDE A INDOOR COMMERCIAL AMUSEMENT BY SPECIAL USE PERMIT.

BASICALLY, KIND OF SOUNDS EXACTLY AS IT IS FOR INDOOR COMMERCIAL.

SHALL MEAN ANY ENTERPRISE WHOSE MAIN PURPOSE IS TO PROVIDE THE GENERAL PUBLIC WITH AN AMUSING OR ENTERTAINING ACTIVITY, WHERE TICKETS ARE SOLD OR FEES ARE COLLECTED IN EXCHANGE FOR THE EXPERIENCE, YOU SHALL BE COMPLETELY ENCLOSED WITHIN THE BUILDING.

INDOOR COMMERCIAL AMUSEMENTS INCLUDE MINIATURE GOLF, ET CETERA.

SMOKING SWEEPSTAKES INSTITUTIONS, POKER CLUBS AND BARS ARE EXCLUDED FROM THIS DEFINITION.

WHAT'S EXISTING THERE NOW IS I-2 GENERAL INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT.

SOME NOTABLE USES PERMITTED IN THE I-2 ZONING DISTRICT AS IT EXISTS RIGHT NOW, THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO GO FORWARD WITH WOULD BE CONTRACTORS, YARD RETAIL, CBD OIL OR HEMP BASED PRODUCTS, DISTRIBUTION CENTERS AND GENERAL WAREHOUSING, EQUIPMENT STORAGE AND LEASING AND AUTO REPAIR, MAJOR AND MINOR.

AND HERE'S KIND OF A LAYOUT OF THAT, TOO. IN FRONT OF YOU IS A CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN THAT THEY PRESENTED TO US.

THIS WILL BE ATTACHED TO THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT REQUEST AS A GENERAL SITE PLAN THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW WITH ANY DEVELOPMENT.

THEY'RE. HERE ARE SOME CONCEPTUAL RENDERINGS.

THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED TO US. KIND OF SHOWING WHAT THIS BUILDING WOULD INTEND TO LOOK LIKE.

THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN DESIGNATES THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FOR NEIGHBORHOOD RETAIL, MIXED USE AND SINGLE FAMILY URBAN RESIDENTIAL AS PART OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

SCENARIO ONE. CATALYST AREA. THESE ARE DESCRIBED AS SERVING THE NEEDS OF THE SURROUNDING CLUSTER OF NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND BASICALLY, PROVIDING A SMALL RETAIL SPACE FOR THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.

STATE LAW REQUIRES THAT ZONING DECISIONS MUST BE ADOPTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN SUPPORTS THE PROPOSED REZONING REQUEST.

STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED REZONING REQUEST.

IS CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

THIS RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION WILL BE CONSIDERED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AT THEIR APRIL 21ST, 2025, REGULAR MEETING. ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME AT THIS POINT?

[00:10:05]

CORRECT. OKAY. THAT'LL BE WITHIN THE RIGHT OF WAY.

OKAY. ANYONE ELSE? SO FIRST QUESTION I WOULD ASK IS THE REDUCTION OF THE SIDE YARD SETBACK? IS THAT PER CODE OR IS THAT A REQUEST FROM THE APPLICANT? THAT IS A REQUEST FROM THE APPLICANT TO EXPAND THEIR BUILDING FOOTPRINT.

AND AS WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS. CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN.

WHERE IS THIS REDUCTION? IS IT ON THE RIGHT SIDE BY MONTESSORI LANE? CORRECT. IT WILL BE ON MONTESSORI LANE OKAY. BUT ALL THAT ALL THAT GREEN AROUND THE BUILDING INDICATES VEGETATION. CORRECT? OKAY. AND THE THINGS THAT ARE BEING IF WE DIDN'T MAKE THIS CHANGE, THE THINGS THAT ARE BEING GIVEN UP ARE THE POSSIBILITY OF THINGS THAT ARE BEING GIVEN UP.

IS THIS LIST OVER HERE AND I'VE TWO INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS? IS THERE ANYTHING LEFT OFF OF THAT LIST THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AS FAR AS WHAT'S CURRENTLY ALLOWED WITHIN I-2? WELL, THIS SAYS THESE THINGS ARE NOT GOING TO BE ALLOWED IN THE PD.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT IS GOING TO BE ALLOWED IN THE PD THAT WAS UNDER I-2? I MEAN, YOUR BASIC RETAIL AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT, THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE ALLOWED WITHIN C1.

SO WE'RE CHANGING THAT BASE ZONING DISTRICT TO C1.

SO IT'S EVERYTHING THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED WITHIN C1.

SO C1 AND THEN I2 SITS ON TOP OF IT. SO EVERYTHING THAT'S ALLOWED IN C1 IS ALLOWED IN I2.

FOR THE MOST PART YES. OKAY. OKAY. I'M SURE THERE ARE SOME CHANGES THAT ARE NOT REFLECTED THAT WAY, BUT OKAY. AND SO THEN GENERALLY I2 IS A LOT MORE INTENSE OF A USE CATEGORY THAN C1.

SO THEN ON THE SLIDE THAT SAYS USE CHART REVISIONS.

THESE ARE THINGS THAT ARE PERMITTED ON C1 THAT ARE BEING REMOVED FROM THE PD.

CORRECT. OKAY. THANK YOU. NO PROBLEM.

ANY OTHER? IS IT A FAIR STATEMENT TO SAY THAT? WHAT THE PD IS GOING TO BRING FORTH IS IT TRUE TO SAY THAT THE THINGS THAT THE PD IS GOING TO ALLOW IS LESS INTRUSIVE ON THE COMMUNITY AND SURROUNDING AREA THAN IT WOULD BE IF IT HAD REMAINED AS I-2 AND SOMEONE CHOSE TO DO DEVELOPMENT UNDER THE I-2 ZONING.

YES. SO GENERALLY SPEAKING, I-2 IS A LOT MORE INTENSE OF THE USE WHEN COMPARATIVE TO SURROUNDING AND THEN COMPARED TO C-1.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

SO, WE'RE ONE OF THE ALSO THE PROVISIONS IS TO REMOVE THE SIX FOOT MASONRY WALL REQUIREMENT FOR THE BUFFER.

SO IF WE DIDN'T DO THAT PORTION OF IT, WHERE WOULD THE MASONRY WALL BE PLACED ALONG THE SITE? SO IT WOULD BE FACED ALONG THE WEST AND SOUTH PORTIONS THERE.

THE WEST AND SOUTH. YEAH. SO EVERYTHING THAT WOULD CONNECT TO THE PARK THERE.

THE OTHER QUESTION I WOULD ASK IS THERE'S A PATIO LOOKS TO BE ADJACENT TO THE BUILDING ON THE WEST SIDE.

IF YOU WERE TO FLIP THE PATIO THE OTHER DIRECTION, YOU COULD KEEP YOUR BUFFER ZONES INTACT AS WELL AS YOUR SIDE YARD SETBACK.

IS THERE A REASON WHY THE PATIO HAS TO BE ON THAT ONE SIDE? I THINK THE APPLICANT IS LOOKING TO KIND OF INTEGRATE PATIO SPACE AS WELL AS PATIO SPACE AND THE PARK HERE TO KIND OF MAKE THE PARK AS AN AMENITY TO THAT OUTDOOR PATIO SPACE.

[00:15:01]

TO BE ABLE TO LOOK OUT INTO THE PARK RATHER THAN LOOKING ONTO THE STREET.

JUST TO ADD ONE MORE POINT ABOUT THIS CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN THERE IS ADDITIONAL PARKING THAT IS BEING PROVIDED ON THE SITE THAT IS PROPOSED TO BE SHARED WITH THE PARK FOR THAT, FOR THAT USE. SO PART OF THIS IS SHARING, SHARING SOME OF THE PARKING AND THEN INCORPORATING THIS DEVELOPMENT TO TRY TO FEED INTO THE PARK A LITTLE BIT MORE, WHETHER IT BE AN ICE CREAM SHOP OR ONE OF THOSE TYPE OF THINGS.

SO, TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HAVING A PARK RIGHT THERE AND HAVING SOME OF THAT SHARED PARKING AS WELL.

OH, I SEE. ANYONE ELSE? DOES THIS HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING RIGHT AFTER THIS? OKAY. YES.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ME? ANY MORE QUESTIONS? IF NOT, THE APPLICANT IS HERE TONIGHT. Y'ALL CAN Y'ALL CAN HAVE HIM TALK NOW OR AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IT'S UP TO Y'ALL. ANYBODY HAVE A PREFERENCE TO HAVE THE APPLICANT COME UP NOW OR AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING? EITHER WAY. GO AHEAD. PUBLIC HEARING. IF ANY QUESTIONS COME, OTHER QUESTIONS COME UP.

ALL RIGHT. UP NEXT WE WILL GO TO THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I DECLARE THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 6:22 P.M.

WOULD ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE, I DECLARE THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 6:23.

ARE THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION FROM THE COMMISSION? WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE DEVELOPER? THE DEVELOPER? WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK? COME UP TO THE MICROPHONE IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR NAME. HEY, MY NAME IS JOHN. I'M THE OWNER OF THE DEVELOPMENT. COOL. DID Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM? SO AGAIN, JUST WANTED TO FOLLOW UP WITH THAT SAME QUESTION REGARDING THE FLIPPING THE BUILDING FOR THE PATIO AND ALL OF THAT.

WHAT IS YOUR INTENT FOR THE PATIO? IS THERE LIKE A RESTAURANT OR SOMETHING THAT'S PART OF THAT PATIO? AND IS IT SITUATED INTERESTING THAT ONE SIDE.

HOW DOES THAT WORK? YES. AT THE BEGINNING WE DON'T, WE DIDN'T PLAN TO BUILD A RETAIL OFFICE THERE. THE CITY SUGGESTED ME THAT BECAUSE IT'S NEXT TO THE PARK AND WE NEED TO BUILD SOMETHING BECAUSE I'M LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY, TOO.

SO, I WANT TO BUILD SOMETHING THAT CAN CONNECT TO THE PARK AND SERVE THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY BETTER.

AND WE FIGURED OUT THAT A PARALLEL THERE COULD MAKE MORE SENSE TO THE MAYBE THE RESTAURANT OR COFFEE SHOP THAT CAN LIKE THE PARENTS THERE CAN SIT THERE AND WATCH THEIR PARENTS WATCH THEIR CHILDREN PLAY ON THE PLAYGROUND. BECAUSE I HEARD THAT THE CITY IS APPROVED FOR SOME PLAYGROUND BUILDING. MAYBE COMING SOON IN A FEW MONTHS. SO.

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT WE INTEND TO CONNECT TO THE PARK BECAUSE YEAH.

SECOND QUESTION I WOULD ASK IS WITH THE REDUCTION OF THE SIDE YARD SETBACK AND THE EXPANSION OF THE BUILDING, IT DOES REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF TREES THAT ARE ON THAT EASTERN SIDE OF THE PROPERTY IS WHAT TYPE OF VEGETATION OR SCREENING OR WHAT DOES THE LOOK THAT YOU HAVE ALONG THAT ONE SIDE TO MAKE THAT LOOK APPEALING FROM THE STREET? YEAH. SO WE, I, WE DISCUSSED ABOUT IT AND WE MAY WE WILL LIKE, DO SOME LANDSCAPING AROUND THE PERIMETER SO THAT IT CAN CONNECT TO THE PARK WEATHER, AS I MENTIONED JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO, THAT I GO ON TO BE A CONNECTING PROJECT THAT CAN CONNECT TO THE PARK BETTER. AND THE PATIO IS THERE TO MAKE IT AND THEN THE PATIO AND THEN AND WE WANT TO HAVE LIKE PARENT

[00:20:05]

AND THEN THE SURROUNDING MASONRY WALL IS GOING TO JUST BE SOMETHING THAT'S VERY SEPARATE BETWEEN THOSE, BETWEEN THE PARK AND, AND THE PROJECT. AND THEN IT'S AND I ALSO RECEIVE A LOT BECAUSE I LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY.

SO, I RECEIVE A LOT OF LIKE SUGGESTIONS FOR MY COMMUNITY THAT WE NEED TO BUILD SOMETHING, CONNECT TO THE PARK AND MASONRY WALL IS GOING TO LIKE WORK IN ADVERSELY TO THAT APPROACH.

SO WE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING LIKE MUCH BETTER FOR THE CONNECTIVITY THAT WHICH IS THE LANDSCAPING SURROUND THE PERIMETER, SURROUND THE PROJECT, I GUESS KIND OF.

I'M TRYING TO BE SPECIFIC. WE'VE EXPANDED. YOU'RE ASKING TO EXPAND THE BUILDING CLOSER TO THE ROAD BY REDUCING THAT BY 20FT WITH THE BUFFER AND THEN REDUCING THE SIDE YARD SETBACK TO FROM 10FT TO 5FT.

SO THERE'S YOU'RE BUILDING IS GETTING CLOSER TO THE STREET.

YES. MY QUESTION IS ALONG THE STREET SIDE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MAKE THAT SIDE OF THE STREET AND THE BUILDING LOOK GOOD FROM AS FAR AS A VEGETATION OR YOU KNOW, TREES OR BUSHES OR WHATEVER, A LANDSCAPING STANDPOINT.

OKAY. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS? PHILLIPS. I CAN'T SPEAK TO THE LANDSCAPING.

MY NAME IS PHILIP MORRIS FROM COPPELL, TEXAS.

I'M THE ARCHITECT ON THE PROJECT. WE ARE UPGRADING BOTH ENDS AND EVEN WRAPPING THE BACK CORNERS WITH SOME GLASS ELEMENTS.

MAKE IT LOOK A LITTLE MORE LIKE A RETAIL FRONT AS WE WRAP THE BUILDING SO THAT RIGHT SIDE WON'T LOOK SO MUCH LIKE JUST THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

I DIDN'T SPEAK TO YOUR QUESTION ABOUT LANDSCAPING, BUT I'M JUST LOOKING FOR SOME TYPE OF BEAUTIFICATION OR SOMETHING WHERE WE'RE GROWING THE BUILDING FOOTPRINT, BUT WE'RE LOSING THE STUFF THAT NORMALLY ALLOWS FOR VISIBILITY AND EVERYTHING.

SO, I'M JUST TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT MAKES UP WHAT WE'RE DOING DIFFERENT.

I DON'T KNOW THAT I WOULD NECESSARILY CALL IT GROWING THE BUILDING FOOTPRINT.

WE'RE TAKING THE BUILDING FOOTPRINT THAT WE WOULD HAVE HAD ANYWAY, AND WE'RE JUST SLIDING IT TO THE RIGHT, TRYING TO RECOVER THE SPACE THAT WOULD BE LOST WITH THE PATIO AND THE TEN FOOT BUFFER ON THE ON THAT SIDE.

THAT WAS THE THAT'S OUR REASONING FOR ASKING FOR IT IS TO MOVE THE BUILDING, NOT TO GROW THE FOOTPRINT, IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE TO YOU. I KNOW IT WAS DESCRIBED AS GROWING THE BUILDING FOOTPRINT, BUT WE'RE RIGHT AT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT WE THINK THE PROJECT NEEDS TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

WE'RE JUST TRYING TO PUT THE, YOU KNOW, THE AMENITIES WHERE WE THINK THEY ARE MORE APPROPRIATE.

SO JUST TO ADDRESS THE QUESTION FROM THE CITY STANDPOINT, THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO MEET LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING ALONG MONTESSORI LANE. AND THAT WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, YOUR STREET TREES AND SHRUBS ALONG MONTESSORI LANE.

SO THEY WOULD BE REQUIRED TO DO THAT AS PART OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT.

OKAY. SO THEY'D BE REDUCING THE WIDTH OF IT, BUT STILL ALL THE REQUIREMENTS WOULD STILL STAY THE SAME.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. NO FURTHER DISCUSSION. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

I PROPOSE WE ACCEPT AS IS. PROPOSED BY COMMISSIONER COX TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED. I HAVE A SECOND. SECOND. SECOND BY COMMISSIONER MONDOK.

I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? IF NOT, WE'LL TAKE A VOTE.

JUST TO CLARIFY, BRYAN, WERE YOU WANTING TO APPROVE OR.

YES. OKAY. YOU HAVE ON HERE THAT YOU VOTED ON MY VOTE.

YEAH. OH, I MISCLICKED. CAN YOU RESET MINE, PLEASE? LET'S SEE.

[00:25:05]

IT'S THE FIRST OPTION. EVERYBODY GOOD? GOOD. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY, FIVE ZERO. FINAL ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ADJOURNMENT.

MEETING IS ADJOURNED AT 6:31 P.M. EXCELLENT. THANK YOU.
