UH, THIS REQUEST IS A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A NEW RESTAURANT AS WELL AS THE SALE OF ALCOHOL FOR ON-PREMISE CONSUMPTION AND, UM, EXISTING, UH, SPACE WITHIN VILLAGE ON THE PARKWAY.
UM, THIS IS INCLUDES THE COMBINATION OF TWO EXISTING SUITES, SUITE 700, AS WELL AS 7 0 4.
UM, THE SPACE WAS FORMALLY USED AS A JEWELRY STORE.
IT'S NOT PREVIOUSLY BEEN USED AS A RESTAURANT.
UM, AND SO THIS REQUEST THIS EVENING IS TO CONSIDER THE APPROPRIATENESS OF ADDING ANOTHER RESTAURANT AT VILLAGE ON THE PARKWAY.
UH, THIS PARTICULAR SITE WAS, UH, REZONED IN 66 FROM LOCAL RETAIL TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT, UM, FOR THE MUCH OF THE EXISTING SITE IMPROVEMENTS IN 2012, THERE WAS A PLAN DEVELOPMENT TO SUPPORT THE REDEVELOPMENT OF VILLAGE ON THE PARKWAY, INCLUDING EXPANDING THE WHOLE FOODS AREA, UM, AND THE, THE FAR NORTHWEST CORNER.
IN 2020, THERE WAS A ANOTHER PD AMENDMENT TO ALLOW A MIXED USE PARKING RATIO TO ALLOW EXPANDED RESTAURANT ENTERTAINMENT USES WITHIN THE CENTER.
UM, AND THEN IN 2023, WE SAW ANOTHER MAJOR REDEVELOPMENT WITH ANOTHER PD AMENDMENT TO ALLOW THE EXPANSION OF BLOCK 900, INCLUDING A THREE STORY OFFICE AND RETAIL BUILDING.
UM, THIS REQUEST THIS EVENING IS ANOTHER SPECIAL USE PERMIT, UH, TO EXPAND THE VARIETY OF, OF RESTAURANT AND ENTERTAINMENT USES WITHIN THE CENTER.
THE PROPOSED RESTAURANT, UH, LA FRENCH BISTRO IS A FULL SERVICE RESTAURANT.
THEY'RE OFFERING TO PROVIDE BRUNCH, LUNCH, DINNER, AS WELL AS DAILY TEA.
UM, AT THIS LOCATION, UM, THEY WOULD TAKE THE TWO SUITES, UH, TO PROVIDE APPROXIMATELY 4,800 SQUARE FEET OF INTERIOR FLOOR SPACE, UM, WITH A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT DINING AREAS IN THE, UH, KITCHEN AND SERVICE AREAS, PRIMARILY LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF THE RESTAURANT.
THEY'RE ALSO PROPOSING TO EXPAND, UM, ON THE EXTERIOR WITH A 600 SQUARE FOOT PATIO SPACE ON THE WEST SIDE.
UM, SO ON THIS PARTICULAR FLOOR PLAN, UM, NORTH IS TO THE LEFT.
THEY'RE ALSO WITH THAT, UM, THEY WOULD RELOCATE THE PRIMARY ENTRANCE TO THE NORTH FACADE TO ALLOW AN ENCLOSED PATIO.
THEY WOULD PROVIDE SEATING ON SITE, UH, FOR 191 INDIVIDUALS.
[00:05:01]
SEATS INDOORS AND, UH, 40 SEATS ON THE EXTERIOR.THEY WOULD, UM, IN ADDITION TO, UH, PROVIDING FOOD SERVICE, UH, WITH A VARIETY OF OF FRENCH AMERICAN FAIR, THEY WOULD ALSO, UH, OFFER ALCOHOL, UM, FOR ON-PREMISE CONSUMPTION.
THEY DO HAVE ANOTHER LOCATION.
THIS WILL BE THE SECOND CONCEPT.
UM, AND THE, THEIR OTHER LOCATION OPENED ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO, UM, IN, UH, AT THE STAR IN FRISCO.
THE PROPOSED HOURS OF OPERATION, UM, ARE ON THE SCREEN BEFORE YOU, BUT, UM, MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, 11:00 AM TO 9:00 PM FRIDAY, 11:00 AM TO 10:00 PM AND SATURDAY 9:00 AM TO 10:00 PM AND SUNDAY 9:00 AM TO 8:00 PM WITH THIS REQUEST, THERE ARE NO PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS TO THE PARKING.
SO AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THERE IS A PD, UM, ON SITE, WHICH ALLOWS A MIXED USE PARKING RATIO FOR ALL RETAIL AND RESTAURANTS OF ONE PER 225 SQUARE FEET, UH, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THEATERS, WHICH ARE, UM, FIGURED DIFFERENTLY SPECIFICALLY FOR THE A-C-M-A-M-C, EXCUSE ME.
AND THEN, UM, SO WITH THIS REQUEST, THE CENTER DOES STILL MEET THAT PARKING REQUIREMENT.
UH, SO CURRENTLY, IF YOU INCLUDE ALL THE ENTITLEMENTS AS WELL AS THOSE AREAS WHICH ARE CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION, SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO BLOCK 900, AS WELL AS A RECENT SUP THAT WAS APPROVED FOR LANDMARK, WHICH PROPOSED REMOVING FOUR ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES AS WELL.
UM, THE CENTER WOULD PROVIDE 2,256 PARKING SPACES.
AND BASED UPON THE CURRENT USES ON SITE, UH, THE PARKING DEMAND IS 2,147.
SO THEY'RE STILL EXCEEDING, UH, THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS BY MORE THAN A HUNDRED SPACES THROUGH BOTH SURFACE, AS WELL AS THE GARAGE PARKING IN THE FAR SOUTHWEST CORNER FOR THE OPEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPING.
THERE ARE SOME MINOR MODIFICATIONS.
SO THERE IS, AT THE FRONT OF THE SITE, A SMALL LANDSCAPE BED.
THERE IS A TREE IN THE CENTER OF THAT, AS WELL AS SOME GROUND COVER ON EITHER SIDE.
AND THIS WOULD BE ON THE FAR WEST EDGE OF THE PATIO SPACE.
THEY'RE PROPOSING TO REMOVE THE LANDSCAPE BED WITH THE GROUND COVER.
UM, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS IMAGE IN THE, THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THE SLIDE, THE GROUND COVER SHOWN IN RED, THEY'RE PROPOSING TO REMOVE, UM, THE GROUND COVER AND WOULD, UH, REPLACE THAT WITH, UM, A HARDSCAPE SURFACE.
THEY WOULD RETAIN THE EXISTING TREE THAT'S THERE TODAY, UM, FOR, UH, SHADE ON THE PATIO WITHIN A SMALL LIKE LANDSCAPE BED AREA.
FOR THE EXTERIOR APPEARANCE HERE IS SOME PROPOSED RENDERING, SO, UM, WITH THE PATIO SPACE SPECIFICALLY, UM, SO THEY WOULD OBVIOUSLY ADD THAT 600 SQUARE FOOT PATIO AS WELL AS THE, UM, FENCE DELINEATION IN THAT AREA TO SEPARATE THE PATIO SPACE FROM THE, UM, PUBLIC SPACE, IF YOU WILL, ON THE, ON VILLAGE, ON THE PARKWAY.
AND THE PRIMARY ENTRANCE, WHICH IS CURRENTLY LOCATED ON THAT FACADE WOULD BE, UM, KIND OF RELOCATED ON THE NORTH FACADE, WHICH YOU CAN SEE IN THE BOTTOM IMAGE ON THE FAR LEFT.
UM, ADDITIONALLY, THERE WOULD BE SOME VERY MINOR COSMETIC ENHANCEMENTS TO THE BUILDING, INCLUDING ADDING NEW SIGNAGE, WHICH WOULD BE A PART OF A SIGN PERMITTING PROCESS AND NOT A PART OF ZONING.
UM, BUT GENERALLY THERE PROPOSING TO LEAVE THE REMAINING FACADE AS IS TODAY, INCLUDING, UM, THE EXISTING, UH, COLOR AS WELL AS THE AWNINGS, WHICH YOU SEE IN BLACK OVER THE WINDOWS.
THOSE ARE EXISTING TODAY AS WELL.
UM, STAFF PROVIDED NOTICE TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200 FEET OF THE SITE THAT INCLUDED EIGHT RECIPIENTS.
SO WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED, RECEIVED ANY RESPONSES TO THAT NOTICE.
UM, AND WITH THAT, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST, UM, TO ADD ANOTHER, ANOTHER RESTAURANT, UH, AT VILLAGE ON THE PARKWAY.
I'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS.
ONE THING I FORGOT TO MENTION EARLIER, IF ANYONE WISHES TO SPEAK DURING THIS MEETING, PLEASE COMPLETE A SPEAKER CORD AND RETURN IT TO STAFF.
I'D LIKE TO REMIND YOU THAT IF YOU DO LIKE TO SPEAK, KEEP YOUR MINUTE, KEEP YOUR COMMENTS TO THREE MINUTES OR LESS, AND REFRAIN FROM ASKING DIRECT QUESTIONS TO THE COMMISSIONERS.
HOWEVER, THE COMMISSIONERS MAY AT THEIR DISCRETION ASK YOU QUESTIONS.
ANY ANSWERS WILL NOT COUNT AGAINST YOUR THREE MINUTE TIME.
I HAVE, UH, I GUESS, YEAH, APPLICANT, IF YOU WANNA COME ON UP.
STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.
TEADE, 5 2 1 7 MCKENZIE WAY, PLANO, TEXAS 7 5 0 9 3.
DID YOU WANNA SAY ANYTHING TO US OR JUST COME FOR US TO ASK QUESTIONS? IS THAT, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER THEM.
[00:10:01]
GUYS UTILIZE VALET PARKING? UM, AT THE STAR RIGHT NOW? WE DO.UM, THERE'S A VALET SERVICE AND, UM, YOU KNOW, SOME OF MY CUSTOMERS USE IT, BUT I REALLY HAVEN'T, LIKE I'M NOT PLANNING A VALET SERVICE, THE STAR, IT'S A, A GENERIC, LIKE IT'S A DROP OFF FOR MULTIPLE PLACES.
IT'S NOT JUST DEDICATED TO YOUR FACILITY.
IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN, NO, IT'S MEANT FOR LIKE THE CENTER TO FOR CUSTOMERS IF THEY DON'T HAVE PARKING IN THE GARAGE OR IN THE FRONT.
SO MY CUSTOMERS DO USE IT, BUT I PERSONALLY DIDN'T HIRE ANY VALET COMPANIES.
WELL, I, THE REASON JUST ASKING IS BECAUSE YOUR NEIGHBOR DOES HAVE VALET PARKING.
SO MAYBE, MAYBE YOU WORK SOMETHING OUT WITH THEM AND PROBABLY YES, NO, ESPECIALLY THE LADIES LIKE TO HAVE THEIR CAR PARKED IF THERE'S LIKE A PARKING ISSUE.
THERE SEEMS TO BE, THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT IT UP.
SO ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CONCEPT? YOU LOOK LIKE YOU HAD ONE THERE, TOM, COME ON.
NO, NO, I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND LOOKED, SO I'M, I I'M GOOD TOO.
I DESIGNED THE WEBSITE AS WELL.
UH, SO JUST A QUESTION ABOUT THE EXISTING STORE THAT YOU HAVE UP AT THE STAR.
SO I IMAGINE SINCE YOU'RE EXPANDING, UH, DOWN HERE TO ADDISON, THAT THAT'S PRETTY SUCCESSFUL.
UM, SO WE OPENED BACK IN MARCH, 2023 AND, UM, WITHIN A MONTH OF OPENING IT EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATION AND IT'S JUST GROWN.
SO WE HAD TO KEEP REARRANGING THE FURNITURE WE INITIALLY HAD WAS LIKE, UM, BIG GIANT CHAIR CHAIRS AND WE HAD TO TRY TO UTILIZE THE SPACE AS MUCH AS WE COULD AND GET MORE FURNITURE IN THERE.
AND, YOU KNOW, AT SOME POINT YOU JUST KIND OF OUTGROW THE SPACE AND THERE'S A NEED FOR A LOT OF PRIVATE PARTIES AND THAT SPACE DOESN'T ALLOW FOR THAT.
AND SO WE WANNA HAVE A PRIVATE TEA ROOM, WE WANNA HAVE THE PRIVATE, UM, YOU KNOW, BRIDAL SHOWERS, BIRTHDAYS, THINGS LIKE THAT WHERE PEOPLE NEED A PRIVATE SPACE.
SO I FEEL LIKE THIS CONCEPT IS ACTUALLY GONNA DO EVEN BETTER.
IT'S OUR LITTLE, UM, PARIS FRISCO RIGHT NOW, BUT THEN THE CONCEPT WILL BE PARIS AND DFW AS WE EXPAND FURTHER.
BUT YEAH, PLEASE COME AND TRY IT.
UM, WE HAVE JUST A, UH, A A QUICK QUESTION.
WHEN
UM, IT, I WAS HOPING TO GET STARTED, YOU KNOW, UM, APPARENTLY, UM, I'M ALLOWED TO GET STARTED ONCE THIS GETS APPROVED, THERE'S ONE MORE MEETING, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.
AND THEN, SO WE'LL PROBABLY START IN JANUARY AND HOPEFULLY WE'RE OPEN BY APRIL, MARCH OR APRIL, SO SOON.
I'M, I'M SURE IT'LL BE VERY WELL RECEIVED.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
AT THIS TIME, I'LL OPEN UP, UH, THIS TO FOR PUBLIC HEARING PORTION FOR ITEM TECHNICALLY TWO ON THE, UH, APPROVAL AGENDA.
UH, DO WE HAVE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME, EITHER IN PERSON OR ONLINE? HAVING HEARD NONE, I WILL CLOSE THE OPEN SESSION AND DO I HAVE A MOTION FROM ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS? MOVE TO APPROVE CASE.
