[4B. Discuss a proposed ordinance imposing a Special Use Permit requirement for car wash and vehicle service repair facilities. (20 minutes) ]
ALRIGHT. I PUT TOGETHER A QUICK PRESENTATION FOR YOU ALL. I WILL TAKE THAT OPENER. ALRIGHT. AS YOU ALL READ FROM THE STAFF REPORT, THE PROPOSAL IS AMENDING THE ZONING SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT SERVICE. IT HAS THOSE REPAIR FACILITIES FOR THAT ENVIRONMENT. A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION THERE WAS A TOTAL OF SEVEN EXISTING CAR WASHES AND ONE CAR WASH IS CURRENTLY -- THAT'S NOT INCLUDING SEVEN. THERE'S A TOTAL OF 27 THAT I CAN FIND. THESE PHOTOS DEMONSTRATE THE TWO RECENT ONES AT THE TOP. IT'S PART OF THE SERVICE FACILITY IT'S PART OF THE REASON BUILDING IN THE FUTURE THERE'S BUILDINGS LIKE THIS IT WILL LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS.THEY ARE NOT TERRIBLE LOOKING. NEXT DETAILS OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT, WHICH INDICATES CAR WASH SOURCES ONLY IN ONE INTO DISTRICTS WITH THAT REQUIREMENT. AND MY NICKEL SERVICE AND REPAIR FACILITY IN THOSE ZONES. THE REQUIREMENT FOR IT FOR THESE USES PROVIDES THE ASSESSMENT FOR VARIOUS IMPACTS, FAVORITE CHARACTERS IT ALSO ALLOWS FOR PUBLIC INPUT OF GOVERNANCE WITH KEY NUMBERS AND CONCERNS ARE CONSIDERED IN THAT PROCESS.
THERE ARE SOME LEGAL REQUIREMENTS TO BE CONSIDERED BECAUSE IT CHANGES THE CITY ZONING ORDINANCES AND THE CITY COUNCIL PRIOR TO OUR FORMAL ADOPTION. THE NOTICE OF THOSE PUBLIC HEARINGS HAVE TO INCLUDE KEY INFORMATION AND ALSO CLARIFIES THEY WILL NOT LOSE THEIR CURRENT RIGHT.
THAT WAS PRETTY QUICK. BEFORE I GET TO QUESTIONS, THERE IS ANOTHER KEY POINT. I DID SOME RESEARCH IN THAT AREA AND A NUMBER OF SURROUNDING CITIES. FOR EXAMPLE OF THE QUALITY INN FORT WORTH, ARLINGTON. COMING OUT OF THE GRAPEVINE. I WILL HAVE SPECIAL CONDITIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS. I DID NOT GO INTO RESEARCH BECAUSE THEY HAVE DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS. SO I DON'T KNOW THE DEPICTION OF WHAT THAT IS. WHERE THIS SPRUNG FROM PERSONALLY, I WANTED TO GET THIS ON THE RADAR. WE HAVE SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUIREMENTS BROTHER THINGS IN THE CITY AND THEY ARE USUALLY AIMED AT CURTIS NIL FACILITIES LIKE THE TRACTOR RESTAURANTS. LIKE GAS STATIONS.
OBVIOUSLY WHEN THAT PROPERTY SELLS, EVER, IT'S ONLY GOING TO USE IT FOR THAT PURPOSE. THAT REVIEW PROCESS TINY IN - ADDITIONALLY WE WERE SEEING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THOSE RESOURCES SEEING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THOSE FACILITIES PARTWAY. I THINK
[00:15:05]
IT'S TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE RESOURCES ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE. THAT WE ARE RETAINING SOME OF THIS. WE HAVE THAT FORQUALITY DEVELOPMENT. SO -- >> DO WE KNOW HOW MANY STAGES OF PLANNING AND PROCESSING WE HAVE OUT THERE?
>> NONE TO MY KNOWLEDGE ON EITHER SIDE. I DO RECOMMEND THERE IS A CAR WASH FACILITY AND THAT'S CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. IT'S ON THE PARKWAY. HAVE NOT DONE THAT
RESEARCH. >> WHAT ABOUT THE NORMAL 66?
>> CORRECT. >> ACTUALLY THERE WAS ONE RESTRICTION FOR THE VEHICLE SERVICE FACILITY.
IT'S THOSE VEHICLE TYPE FACILITIES THAT COME THROUGH THE PROCESS OF THOSE STORAGE UNIT.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WOULD FLOW WELL WITH THESE. THESE ARE THE VEHICLE BASES. WE CAN WORK IT IN.
THERE'S SOMETHING WE CAN WORK IN. IF IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY -- WORK IS BEING DONE.
CURRENTLY CAR WASHES COMING UP TO THE RIGHT. THAT'S WHY WE
HAVE SEEN THE COUNSEL. >> IF SOMEONE NEW BOUGHT THE FACILITY THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK.
>> THAT'S AN IMPORTANT POINT. JUST TO CLARIFY. THE ORDINANCE IS PASSING IN THOSE FACILITIES MEANING THAT IF THE OWNER OF THE BUSINESS AND NEW OWNER CAME IN AS IT IS TECHNICALLY THERE.
IT'S PART OF THE DISTRICT. PART OF THE INDUSTRY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> YOU KNOW I ALWAYS STRUGGLE WITH THE BALANCE WITH THOSE DIFFERENCES VERSUS THE CITY.
I LIKE THEY USE OF THE SPECIAL USE PRONOUNS BECAUSE RATHER THAN SAYING -- IT MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE WORK.
[00:20:02]
HAVE THE CONTROL OF OUR CITY.I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT, THAT WE FIGURE THAT OUT. THERE IS ACTUAL WORDING IN SECTION 1. IT SAYS TO ONLY ALLOW CAR WASH COMMERCIAL USE WITH THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT THAT'S ALL THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED IN THAT. TO ALLOW THE CAR WASH SERVICES ONLY IN THE ZONING DISTRICTS.
CONSENSUS TO PUT THIS FORWARD IN THE NEXT SET UP? IT'S NOT GOING TO COME BACK TO US FOR AN ADOPTION? BEFORE IT EVENTUALLY DOES COME TO US. IS THERE CONSENSUS TO MOVE FORWARD ON THAT PROCESS? ARE RIGHT. LOOK AT THAT. RECORD.
[5. DISCUSS CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS FOR APRIL 16, 2024 CITY COUNCIL MEETING. ]
YOURSELF.I'M READY. HIT ME. >> NOTHING? THAT CONCLUDES OUR BUSINESS FOR TONIGHT. WE ARE NOW ADJOURNED.
