May 19, 2026 Planning & Zoning Commission Work Session

[00:00:05]

GOOD

[1. Call Meeting to Order]

IT IS TUESDAY, MAY 19TH, 2026.

I HEREBY CALL THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION WORK SESSION INTO ORDER.

UM, LESLIE, ARE YOU READY FOR US OR, OKAY, GOOD EVENING.

LESLIE KNIGHT, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT AND NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES.

UM, SO THE FIRST ITEM ON THE

[1. Status update on recent Planning and Zoning Commission cases and planning policy items.]

UH, TRINITY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY, UM, CAME BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION LAST MONTH FOR CONSIDERATION OF THEIR ZONING AMENDMENT THAT WENT BEFORE COUNSEL ON APRIL 28TH, 28TH OR 26TH, ONE OF THOSE THAT TUESDAY, THE LAST TUESDAY OF APRIL.

AND IT WAS APPROVED, UH, WITH CONDITIONS THAT THEY BRING THE WESTERN PROPERTY BOUNDARY INTO FULL COMPLIANCE WITH THE LANDSCAPE, UH, REQUIREMENTS.

SO, UM, THAT DID GET APPROVED.

THEY ARE CURRENTLY WORKING THROUGH THOSE UPDATES WITH STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAND, THE LANDSCAPE BUFFERING REQUIREMENTS.

UM, THE OTHER ITEM THAT WAS RECENTLY CONSIDERED WAS THE, UM, PD AMENDMENT FOR AN ESCAPE ROOM AT VILLAGE ON THE PARKWAY THAT IS SCHEDULED TO GO TO CITY COUNCIL ON MAY 26TH, WHICH IS A WEEK FROM THIS EVENING.

UM, THE OTHER ITEM I JUST WANTED TO MENTION IS, UM, OBVIOUSLY THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WAS ADOPTED FEBRUARY 10TH OF THIS YEAR, AND BASED UPON ALL OF THE ITEMS WITHIN THERE, OUR GOAL TO STAY ON TRACK FOR COMPLETION OF A 2025 YEAR HORIZON, UM, OBVIOUSLY PENDING THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE UPDATES AND MODIFICATIONS ALONG THE WAY.

OUR TARGET FOR COMPLETION IS 4% PROGRESS PER YEAR, AND WE ARE ALREADY AT 2%.

SO WE ARE MOVING, UH, SWIFTLY THROUGH ITEMS AND, UM, AS IDENTIFIED WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

AND THAT IS STILL LIVE ON, UM, OUR LANDING PAGE.

SO YOU CAN SEE ALL THE ITEMS THAT WE'VE COMPLETED AND COMMENTS RELATED TO THOSE.

SO GLAD THAT WE ARE JUST UNDER HALFWAY THROUGH THE YEAR AND WE'RE ALREADY HALFWAY COMPLETED, SO ON OUR TARGET.

SO THOSE ARE ALL THE UPDATES.

UM, I HAVE TO SHARE ON PLANNING ITEMS FOR THE PRESENTATION.

UM, AND SORRY, YEAH, I'M HEARING, UM, RESIDUAL NOISE FROM THE LOBBY, UM, REGARDING ITEM TWO,

[2. Discussion regarding items on the agenda for the May 19, 2026 Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting: April 21, 2026 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes Amend the Planned Development (PD Ordinance Nos. 085-100 and 095-035) to modify the Permitted Uses and Development Standards to allow for additional uses to be permitted at 14841 North Dallas Parkway. (Case 1951-Z/Aberdeen PD Amendment) Special Use Permit to permit a restaurant to allow late-night hours of operation at 5000 Belt Line Road, Suite 430. (Case 1952-SUP/Insomnia Cookies) Rezone a property from Planned Development District (PD, Ordinance No. 079-517) to a new Planned Development (PD) District with use and development standards for a mixed-use project that includes multifamily, condominium townhome, and live/work units, and office uses and associated private open space and common areas at 14651 Dallas Parkway. (Case 1949-Z/The Princeton) ]

THE FIRST ITEM WE HAVE IS THE MINUTES OF THE APRIL 21ST MEETING.

UM, THOSE WERE PREPARED.

ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSION? OKAY, PERFECT.

UM, THE, THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING ITEM IS AN AMENDMENT TO THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT FOR THE ABERDEEN, UM, OFFICE BUILDING THAT'S AN EXISTING OFFICE BUILDING AT, UM, DALLAS PARKWAY AND LANDMARK.

UM, THEY, UM, HEY COREY, WE HAVE TO KEEP, WE HAVE TO KEEP ONE DOOR OPEN SINCE PUBLIC MEETING.

PERFECT.

UH, SO SORRY.

THAT IS THE EXISTING OFFICE BUILDING AT DALLAS PARKWAY AND LANDMARK.

UM, THEY HAVE HAD SOME INTEREST, UM, OF TENANTS THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY PERMITTED, A PERMITTED USE AS IDENTIFIED ON THEIR PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

UM, THEY HAVE, UM, ASKED FOR AN EXPANSION OF ON THAT USE.

SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAD ACTUALLY BEEN TALKING ABOUT WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF HOW WE, UM, INTRODUCE, UM, NEW OR DIFFERENT OR, UM, SIMILAR USES WITHIN OUR OFFICE BUILDING TO SUPPORT LEASING THOSE UP.

SO THIS IS KIND OF THE FIRST OF THAT COLLABORATION WITH OUR, UM, CURRENT OFFICE OWNERS, UM, TO EXPAND THEIR PERMITTED USES, UM, IN HOPES TO, UM, ATTRACT ADDITIONAL TENANTS.

LESLIE, LESLIE, UM, THE PAGE TWO WHERE IT GOES THROUGH THEIR REQUESTS OF THE DIFFERENT USES.

MM-HMM .

UM, CLARIFY IF YOU WOULD.

SOME OF THEM HAVE UDC RESTRICTIONS THAT FOLLOW BEYOND THIS.

OTHERS, IF WE APPROVE IT, ARE PERMITTED BY, RIGHT? MM-HMM .

SO I'LL JUST PICK ONE.

LET'S TAKE RECREATIONAL FACILITY INDOORS.

SURE.

SO MY QUESTION TO YOU ISN'T THAT I AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH THAT USE, IT'S, IF WE APPROVE THIS, DOES THAT MEAN THAT THEY HAVE NO RESTRICTIONS ON PUTTING A FACILITY NO MATTER HOW LARGE, NO MATTER WHAT THE USE IS? OR HOW DOES THAT WORK? UM, THEY WOULD HAVE TO FOLLOW WHATEVER IS IDENTIFIED IN THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE AS WELL AS THE PD.

UM, SO THERE WOULD BE NO USE SPECIFIC STANDARDS.

I THINK, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, SO TO ANSWER TO SPECIFICALLY ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, THERE IS NO RESTRICTIONS LIKE YOU SEE ON MEDICAL CLINIC.

IT SPECIFICALLY SAYS, UM, FREESTANDING IS PROHIBITED AS WELL AS ANYTHING EXCEEDING 3000 SQUARE FEET REQUIRES A

[00:05:01]

THERE'S NO STANDARDS RELATED TO THOSE OTHER USES ACTUALLY ON THIS SLIDE BELOW MEDICAL CLINIC.

SO THE FOLLOWING QUESTION THEN IS IF, AND AGAIN, I'M, YOU KNOW, PLAYING MY CARDS, LAYING MY CARDS OUT.

I THINK THIS IS GREAT.

I THINK IT'S NEEDED, BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT WE ALWAYS DISCUSS THESE THINGS, NOT SO MUCH FOR THIS SPECIFIC APPLICATION, BUT BROADER.

YEAH.

SO TONIGHT, AS WE LOOK AT THIS IN OUR FORMAL SESSION, CAN WE ESTABLISH ANY PARAMETERS FOR APPROVAL WITHIN THESE OTHER FOUR CATEGORIES? FIVE CATEGORIES? YEAH, SO, UM, IF THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO DO SO AND ULTIMATELY MAKE A MOTION TO DO SO, THEY WOULD JUST NEED TO MAKE A MOTION, UH, WITH THE CONDITION THAT ADDITIONAL STIPULATIONS OR APPLY OR ADDITIONAL, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS WHICH APPLY, UM, THAT, THAT'S WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND IF THE COMMISSION CHOOSES TO DO SO.

SO, SO WHAT DO YOU, LIKE, DAVE, YOU WANNA KIND OF JUST SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT SINCE THIS IS WORK SESSION TO ME A LITTLE BIT, TO HAVE THESE KIND OF CONVERSATIONS, LIKE WHAT IS YOUR RESTRICTION YOU WOULD WANT? LIKE WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? WHAT, WHAT'S, WHAT'S OF YOUR CONCERN ON THAT ITEM? WELL, UM, THANKS.

IT'S PROBABLY MORE SQUARE FOOTAGE ISSUED THAN ANYTHING.

I, I, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I I CAN'T PARSE OUT ALL THE USES THAT WOULD BE WAY ABOVE MY SKILLSET, BUT IF, IF WE HAD CERTAIN SQUARE FOOTAGE RESTRICTIONS LIKE WE DO ON A NUMBER OF THE OTHER USES, THAT WOULD AT LEAST PRECLUDE IT FROM HEADING IN A DIRECTION THAT'S COMPLETELY OFF THE RAILS.

SO AGAIN, IF YOU SAID RECREATIONAL FACILITY, 5,000 SQUARE FEET OR LESS, JUST TO PICK A NUMBER, UM, PERSONAL SERVICES, I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT THAT IS.

IT MAY BE DEFINED ELSEWHERE, BUT YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT'S ALONG THOSE LINES.

IT JUST PUTTING SOME SQUARE FOOTAGE LIMITATIONS SO THAT IT'S KIND OF COMPORTS WITH THE OTHER LIMITATIONS THAT ARE IN THE, IN THE, UH, DOCUMENT.

YEAH.

SO MOST OF THE OTHER, UH, I DON'T, I THINK WAS IT ALL OF THEM OR MOST OF THE OTHER SPECIAL USE STANDARDS, OR EXCUSE ME, USE SPECIFIC STANDARDS IN THE CENTER COLUMN.

THOSE ARE, WERE PULLED FROM THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, CORRECT.

MOST OF THEM ARE, UM, HOWEVER, IN THE UDC MOST ARE APPLIED SPECIFICALLY TO OUR MIXED USE STAND, UM, MIXED USE DISTRICTS.

UM, HOWEVER, WE FELT THAT THEY WERE STILL APPROPRIATE FOR THIS BUILDING.

SO, UH, SO IT REFERENCES IT, BUT IT'S NOT FULLY THE SAME FROM THE UDC.

SO, SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? UH, SO THAT, I WAS JUST MAKING A COMMENT THAT THE, FOR PERSONAL SERVICES AND RECREATION INDOORS, I DON'T BELIEVE THERE WERE ANY APPLICABLE USE SPECIFIC STANDARDS THAT ARE IN OUR BASE CODE FROM THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE.

SO LITERALLY, I'M NOT TRYING TO DEFINE THE ACTUAL USES.

YEAH, I'M JUST TRYING TO SAY IF, SAY, IF SQUARE FOOTAGE LIMITATIONS, SO THEY COULDN'T TAKE IT BEYOND WHAT I THINK THEIR CONCEPT, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE APPLICANT IS HERE AND WE CAN TALK LATER, IS, HEY, WE WANT THESE TO BE ANCILLARY TO HELP US LEASE UP THE BUILDING, WHICH IS GREAT.

RIGHT? I AGREE WITH THAT.

TOTALLY.

SO AT THAT POINT, WE'RE ALL IN ALIGNMENT.

MY CONCERN ALWAYS IS WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? THEY SELL A BUILDING, SOMEBODY ELSE COMES IN, HAS A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE OF LIFE, SUDDENLY THAT, YOU KNOW, PERSONAL SERVICES BECOMES, UH, SOME HUGE OPERATION THAT LITERALLY SUBSUMES A BUILDING.

SO I'M JUST TRYING TO PRECLUDE THAT UPFRONT AND STILL GIVE THE APPLICANT THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME UP WITH DIFFERENT IDEAS AND USES FOR, FOR, UH, LEASING UP THE BUILDING.

OKAY.

YEAH, I DO, UM, WE TALKED TO THE APPLICANT TODAY AND THEY ARE PLANNING ON HAVING A REPRESENTATIVE PRESENT TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

JUST, UM, SO I'M TO THINK ABOUT, WE ACTUALLY HAD, THE REASON THIS CAME UP IS BECAUSE THEY HAD ACTUALLY APPROACHED US, UM, ABOUT SOME ADDITIONAL USES.

FOR EXAMPLE, THEY HAD AN INDIVIDUAL WHO WANTED TO LEASE OUT, UH, A PORTION OF SPACE WHO WAS ALSO AN OFFICE TENANT IN THE BUILDING AS WELL.

UM, THEY WANTED TO HAVE A LEASE, UH, TO OPEN UP A PICKLEBALL CLUB, SO THEY WOULD ACTUALLY DEVELOP PICKLEBALL COURTS AND HAVE, THEY, IT WOULD SERVE AS, AS A, AS AN AMENITY FOR THEIR OFFICE USERS, BUT ALSO OTHER PEOPLE IN THE BUILDING COULD THEN PARTICIPATE AND HAVE A MEMBERSHIP.

UM, BUT IT WASN'T AN AMENITY OFFERED BY THE OFFICE ITSELF.

SO I WOULD JUST, UM, THAT WAS ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS AND NOT THE ONLY CONVERSATION, BUT A LIMITATION ON 5,000 SQUARE FEET AS AN EXAMPLE, WOULD LIKELY PRECLUDE THAT FROM OCCURRING.

SO, AND, AND I THINK YOU GOTTA THINK ABOUT IT TOO THAT, THAT AN OFFICE OWNER IS NOT GONNA PUT A BUNCH OF USES IN THERE THAT'S GONNA BE CONTRADICTORY TO THEIR EXISTING TENANT BASE.

SO YOU'RE NOT GONNA GO PUT URBAN JUMPY HOUSE, WHATEVER IN THIS FACILITY WHEN YOU HAVE OFFICE WORKERS THERE AND, AND THOSE OFFICE WORKER OFFICE LEASES ARE ALSO UNDER LONGTIME LEASES.

SO THE PROBABILITY OF HAVING LARGE QUANTITIES

[00:10:01]

BUT JUST KEEP IN MIND LIKE THAT OFFICE GUY IS NOT MOTIVATED TO P**S OFF ALL OF HIS RESIDENTS OR ALL OF HIS TENANTS THAT LIVE THERE TOO.

I, I DON'T NECESSARILY SAY I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH PUTTING A REQUIREMENT IN THERE.

I I JUST DON'T WANNA SPEND A TON OF TIME LIKE HAVING TO DEBATE WHAT THE APPROPRIATE QUANTITY IS EITHER WHEN THERE'S ALREADY SOME NATURAL PROHIBITIONS ALREADY NATURALLY HAPPENING WITHIN AN OFFICE SPACE.

YEAH, AND SOME OF THE, SOME OF THE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD WITH SOME OF THESE OFFICE USERS WANTING TO ADD AMENITIES TO ATTRACT IS THAT THEY WANT A VERY EASY, SIMPLE, LOW COST SOLUTION FOR THEM , UM, TO, TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

UM, SO ADDING LIKE A SPECIAL USE PERMIT PROCESS OR SOMETHING COULD MAKE THAT LESS DESIRABLE.

JUST JUST PROVIDING SOME, SOME FEEDBACK ON THE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD WITH SOME, WOULD THIS ONLY BE APPLICABLE TO THE, THIS BUILDING? SO AS FAR AS THESE PD STANDARDS, AS FAR AS IF WE APPROVE THIS TONIGHT, PROPOSED USES, THIS DOESN'T APPLY TO THE AREA, THIS IS JUST STRICTLY NO, JUST THIS ONE BUILDING.

LESLIE, DO, IS THERE ANY PLACE THAT WE HAVE A DEFINITION OF WHAT THE TOWN CONSIDERS PERSONAL SURFACE? YES.

THAT IS IN OUR UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE AND WE CAN, UM, WE CAN PROVIDE THOSE, I THINK ON, WE GET THOSE, UH, FOR THE REGULAR MEETING ON A SLIDE.

GREAT.

SO WE CAN LOOK AT THOSE.

THANK YOU.

YEAH, LESLIE, I GOT A QUESTION, UH, UNRELATED TO THIS.

UM, JUST SO FOR MY JUDGMENT, HOW DID THAT QUORUM, THERE WAS A BIKE LANE AND ALSO KIND OF A PARKS PROPOSAL MM-HMM .

DID THAT GO THROUGH, UH, WITH LIKE THE BEER GARDEN CONCEPT AND KIND OF THE REDOING OF, OF SOUTH QUORUM? UM, I, I CAN GET, I CAN LOOK, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT HAS COME BACK FORWARD TO COUNCIL FOR KIND OF, I'M GONNA SAY SI FINAL SIGN OFF OR, OR FINAL, GO AHEAD.

I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS STILL SOME ADDITIONAL CONVERSATIONS TO OCCUR WITH CITY COUNCIL ON THAT SUBJECT.

OKAY.

SO IT'S NOT, NOT NOT IN A ORDINANCE OR ANYTHING, BUT THE, WHAT'S THE WORD, THE CONCEPT WAS APPROVED, RIGHT? I, I SEEM TO REMEMBER NOT BEING IN DESPAIR THAT THE BIKE LANE WAS ENTIRELY CANCELED.

SO LIKE WHAT PRO I DON'T, I DON'T WANNA, I DON'T WANNA SHARE ANY MISINFORMATION, SO, BUT I CAN LOOK, UM, AND, AND GET THAT INFORMATION TO YOU.

I DON'T BELIEVE THE CO THE CONCEPT IS NOT, UM, DISCONTINUED.

OKAY.

IF THAT IS YOUR QUESTION.

THERE IS WILL, I BELIEVE QUORUM THAT PORTION OF QUORUM AS WELL AS OTHER PORTIONS OF QUORUM ARE PART OF A BOND PROJECT THAT WILL BE GOING FORWARD? YES.

UM, NOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE I THINK IS STILL TO BE FINALIZED.

TO BE FINALIZED.

OKAY.

GOOD TO KNOW.

UM, YEAH, I JUST THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE GOOD CONTEXT FOR SOME OF THE USES THEY WERE THINKING, UH, YOU KNOW, IF THERE IS GONNA BE KIND OF A RESTRUCTURING OF, OF THAT PARK AREA HAVING, WELL, AND THAT WON'T BE IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THIS BUILDING.

SURE ENOUGH, IT'S IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE BUILDING IMMEDIATELY TO THE WEST.

OKAY.

BUT PROBABLY WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE.

OH YES, DEFINITELY WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE.

UM, AND AS PART OF THE PLAN, I COULD SEE THAT MIXED USE, UM, ADDING A COUPLE MORE USES IS AN OPTION FOR, FOR TENANTS OR EVEN LIMITED PUBLIC ACCESS.

MAKES SENSE.

IN, IN CONTEXT OF HAVING PEOPLE THERE AFTER THE WORKDAY.

ALL YOU REMIND, CAN YOU REMIND ME WHAT'S THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THIS, OF THE ABERDEEN BUILDING? YEAH, DO YOU HAVE THAT COREY, OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD? WE WILL BE PREPARED DURING THE REGULAR MEETING TO PROVIDE THAT.

SO WOULD IT, WOULD A BROAD SCOPE, PERHAPS DAVE, UM, A BROAD SCOPE BE TO LIMIT THE ADDITIONAL USES TO A TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF WOULD THAT MAYBE SATISFY SOME OF YOUR CONCERN FOR LONGER TERM? SO THE QUESTION IS, I THINK THE SAME ISSUE THAT I SAID IS JUST THE SQUARE FOOTAGE LIMIT ON IT.

RIGHT? BUT IF WE JUST SAID FOR THE, THE WHOLE FACILITY AND THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL ELEMENTS.

YEAH, I'M, I'M NOT GONNA FOLLOW MY SWORD ON THIS.

I MEAN, I THINK DENISE MADE A VALID POINT.

THESE GUYS ARE GONNA PROTECT THEIR TENANT BASE.

THEY'RE NOT GONNA DO ANYTHING TOO CRAZY.

UH, I ALWAYS LIKE TO KIND OF DOT I'S AND CROSS T'S FOR THE FUTURE AND NOT NECESSARILY, YOU KNOW, THINK THAT THESE WILL BE THE ONES, IT'S JUST AT SOME POINT PEOPLE SELL BUILDINGS AND OTHER OPERATORS COME IN, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.

SO I JUST THINK OF THINGS LIKE THE CRESCENT DOWNTOWN, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE A WHOLE FITNESS FACILITY THAT THEY'VE PUT IN THE CRESCENT CLUB THAT THEY RAN OUT.

I MEAN, YOU DON'T WANNA PRECLUDE THAT KIND OF THING EITHER.

UM, WHICH, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST ABOUT MAKING IT MORE MARKETABLE AND USABLE AND, AND I WASN'T SURPRISED.

I WAS GONNA SAY PICKLEBALL IS WHAT I HAD SEEN WAS COMING OUTTA YOUR MOUTH BEFORE IT EVEN GOT OUTTA YOUR MOUTH.

UM, AND IF IT'S A TENANT USE, EXCUSE ME, AN OWNER

[00:15:01]

CORRECT.

LIKE YOUR, YOUR SAMPLE OF THE TENANT WAS THE PICKLEBALL WAS GONNA BE FOR THE TENANT.

BUT IF THE OWNER WENT AND CHOSE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND WE PUT A SQUARE FOOTAGE REQUIREMENT ON IT, HE'S GONNA BE PRO, LET'S PUT, LET'S FOR EXAMPLE, WE PUT 5,000 SQUARE FEET, BUT HE NEEDS 15 TO DO A PICKLEBALL COURT.

HE WOULD STILL HAVE A COME HAVE TO GET APPROVAL FROM US TO GET AROUND THAT TOO.

SO IT IT, YOU'RE NOT JUST HURTING POTENTIAL TENANTS.

I MEAN, IT'S ALSO KIND OF HURTING POTENTIALLY WHAT THE OWNER, YOU'RE, YOU'RE, YOU'RE PUTTING SOME RESTRICTIONS ON THE OWNER MORE THAN JUST ITS TENANT BASE.

IT'S, IT COULD BE AFFECTING AMENITY SPACE TO THE BUILDING AS WELL.

OKAY.

ALRIGHT.

WE WILL BE PREPARED WITH A FEW QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAD ASKED DURING THE REGULAR MEETING.

ALRIGHT, THE NEXT ITEM, UM, SORRY, I'M CLICKING THE NEXT ITEM, UM, ON THE WORK SESSION IS, UM, THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW LATE NIGHT HOURS OF OPERATION FOR INSOMNIA COOKIES.

THIS IS AT, LOCATED AT ADDISON WALK.

UM, THEY'RE CURRENTLY, UH, OPERATING BUSINESS CLOSING AT 11:00 PM UM, AND THEY HAVE REQUESTED A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO EXPAND INTO LATE NIGHT HOURS.

UM, THAT IS THEIR BRAND INSO, HENCE THE NAME INSOMNIA COOKIES TO DO LATE NIGHT COOKIES.

UM, AND SO I BELIEVE THEY'RE OPEN TILL 3:00 AM SO THAT, ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? WE'LL OBVIOUSLY HAVE A FULL PRESENTATION DURING THE REGULAR MEETING.

3:00 AM IT'S, UH, YEAH, IT'S VERY SMALL.

I THINK IT'S, UH, ABOUT 1600 SQUARE FEET, VERY SMALL LIKE LOBBY AR AREA, AND THEY ALSO DO DELIVERY, SO.

ALL RIGHT.

AND THEN THE LAST ITEM IS A REZONING, UM, FOR A PLAN DEVELOPMENT FOR A MIXED USE PROJECT THAT INCLUDES, UM, MULTIFAMILY CONDOMINIUM TOWN HOME UNITS, UM, 10 CONDOMINIUM TOWN HOME UNITS, FIVE LIVE WORK UNITS, AS WELL AS, UH, 3000 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE SPACE AND SOME ASSOCIATED, UM, PRIVATE OPEN SPACE AND COMMON AREAS AS WELL AS A PART OF THE PROJECT.

UM, SO JUST VERY HIGH LEVEL, THIS, UM, ITEM DID COME BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION IN AUGUST OF 2025, UM, WITH A DIFFERENT CONCEPT.

IT WAS, UM, ALL MULTIFAMILY, UM, UM, MORE UNIT TOTAL UNITS.

UM, AND THEY HAVE COME BACK WITH A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT USES INTRODUCED THOSE NEW USES BEING THE, UM, OFFICE SPACE OR EXECUTIVE OFFICES, THE LIVE WORK UNITS, AS WELL AS THE CONDO TOWN HOMES.

THEY'VE ALSO ADDED, UM, A PRIVATELY OWNED, PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE, UM, LIKE POCKET PARK AS WELL.

SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE KIND OF THE CORE CHANGES.

UM, THERE ARE SOME OTHER ANCILLARY CHANGES TO THE PROJECT AS WELL.

ANOTHER ITEM OF NOTE THAT, UM, IS VERY UNIQUE TO THIS PROJECT IS IT ACTUALLY STRADDLES THE CITY LIMIT LINE WITH THE PARKING AS WELL AS A PORTION OF THE PROJECT BEING LOCATED IN FARMER'S BRANCH.

AND THE OTHER PORTION, UM, HERE SEEN IN THIS IMAGE BEING IN ADDISON, UM, THERE'S A VERY, THERE'S UH, OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF INFORMATION IN THE PRESENTATION.

THE APPLICANT ALSO HAS A FORMAL PRESENTATION AS WELL.

UM, WE HAVE, JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE, IF YOU'VE NOT ALREADY SEEN IT, WE DID RECEIVE PUBLIC INPUT, UM, FROM A RESIDENT THIS AFTERNOON, AND THAT WAS PROVIDED ACTUALLY DIRECTLY TO YOU ALL.

UM, I DID RESEND THAT THE, AFTER THIS AFTERNOON AND UM, ADDITIONAL PUBLIC INPUT CAME IN THIS AFTERNOON, OR EXCUSE ME THIS EVENING, AROUND 5:00 PM OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER.

UM, AND THAT WAS ALSO PROVIDED DIRECTLY TO YOU AND VIA EMAIL, BUT, UM, STAFF DID NOT HAVE TIME TO, TO, UM, PRINT THAT OFF AND HAVE BEFORE YOU.

I, I HAVE ONE QUESTION THAT, UM, I'D JUST LIKE A READOUT ON WHAT THE RULES ARE AROUND, UH, SPOT ZONING AND WHETHER THIS WOULD CONSTITUTE A SPOT ZONE OR NOT IN THE CITY'S OPINION.

UM, OH, SORRY.

WOULD WE CONSIDER THIS A, A POTENTIAL SPOT ZONING OR NOT? AND IF, IF NOT, OR IF SO, WHAT, WHAT WOULD BE THE BASIS? CAN YOU PUT YOUR MIC ON PLEASE? SORRY.

IS WHEN IT'S INCOMPATI COMPLETELY INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA AND IT'S AN ARBITRARY DEPARTURE FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

UM, SO FOR EXAMPLE, UM, IF THE DETERMINATION IS MADE, WHETHER IT'S FOR IT OR AGAINST THE CHANGE, UM, IF IT'S BASED ON THOSE STATUTORY FACTORS, UM, IN CHAPTER TWO 11, THEN IT'S TYPICALLY NOT GONNA BE CONSIDERED SPOT ZONING.

UM, SPOT ZONING IS REALLY WITH, IT'S JUST A SINGLE TRACK THAT IS COMPLETELY, UM, INCOMPATIBLE

[00:20:01]

CAN YOU, UM, GIVE US SOME BACKGROUND ON MAYBE WHAT THEY'VE COME TO YOU? OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE GOING TO BUY THE GARAGE AS WELL AS THE PARTIAL WHERE THE PRINCETON IS, CORRECT.

THEY CURRENTLY OWN BOTH PARCELS ALREADY OWN, YES.

ALRIGHT.

SO HAVE THEY COME TO YOU WITH ANY, LIKE AN INTERLOCAL, UH, AGREEMENT OR WHAT AGREEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE WITH FARMERS BRANCH, UH, OR WHAT DISCUSSIONS HAVE BEEN WITH FARMERS BRANCH TYING THESE TWO PIECES TOGETHER? YEAH, SO THE, THE PROPERTY CURRENTLY, UM, I'M GONNA SAY GENERALLY EXISTS.

SO THE, THERE IS AN EXISTING OFFICE BUILDING THERE.

I BELIEVE IT'S APPROXIMATELY 380 SQUARE FEET, GIVE OR TAKE, UM, THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS.

IT'S CALLED THE PRINCETON OFFICE.

MM-HMM .

UM, AND THAT'S, IT CURRENTLY EXISTS ON THIS SITE IN ADDISON, WHOLLY WITHIN ADDISON.

MM-HMM .

AND THE PARKING GARAGE CURRENTLY EXISTS IN FARMER'S BRANCH, WHICH SERVES THAT PARKING GARAGE.

UM, SO THIS CONDITION ALREADY EXISTS TODAY.

UM, THERE IS, BEYOND TO MY KNOWLEDGE, UM, BEYOND THE ZONING WHICH CURRENTLY EXISTS FOR THE OFFICE BUILDING, THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS, UM, THAT THE, THE TOWN IS AWARE OF TO, UM, ADJOIN THESE TWO PARCELS IF YOU WILL.

UM, AND SO WITH THE COLLABORATION WITH FARMER'S BRANCH ON THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT, UM, STAFF WAS PREVIOUSLY IN CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH FARMER'S BRANCH BECAUSE THEY ALSO PURSUED THE APPLICANT BEING THE, EXCUSE ME, UM, PURSUED A REZONING CASE FOR THE FARMER'S BRANCH PORTION AS WELL.

UM, 'CAUSE AND THEY DID GET APPROVED IN AUGUST OF, UH, 2025 FOR UH, TWO AT 135, A HUNDRED, YEAH.

135 UNITS TO THE TOP OF THE EXISTING PARKING GARAGE.

UM, SO THEY DID SUCCESSFULLY, UM, RECEIVE A REZONING AND FARMER'S BRANCH TO DO SO, AS WELL AS SOME AMENITIES AND SOME OTHER IMPROVEMENTS.

UM, WITH THAT, USING THE PARKING GARAGE TO SERVE THAT, THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO USE THE PARKING GARAGE TO SERVE THIS BUILDING AS WELL.

UM, THE, IN ADDITION TO THAT, THERE ARE SOME, UH, SOME MINOR SURFACE PARKING AS WELL AS THE, THE TWO CAR ENCLOSED GARAGE FOR EACH TOWN HOME AS WELL.

WELL, I, MAYBE THAT'S HOW THEY'VE OPERATED.

I WAS JUST WONDERING OKAY.

AS, AS THEY PROCEED, UM, WHAT ACTUAL AGREEMENTS SIT IN PLACE AND I GOTTA BELIEVE THAT THEY'VE TALKED TO THIS, UH, TOWN ABOUT THAT SOME WAY SOMEHOW.

THE, THE, LIKE I SAID, THE ZONING IS THE ONLY AGREEMENT THAT EXISTS.

SO IF THEY DO, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY ARE REQUIRED BY, IF, IF SUCCESSFUL THEY WOULD BE, AND THEY ARE TODAY, EXCUSE ME, WITH THE, UNDER THE OFFICE ZONING AND THE PROPOSED ZONING, THEY WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THAT PARKING.

UM, IF THEY NO LONGER PROVIDED THAT PARKING FOR WHATEVER REASON, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY.

OKAY.

AND, AND THERE ARE AGREEMENTS WITH THE, UH, FIRE DEPARTMENT WHO CARS ON FIRE IN THE GARAGE, WHO'S HANDLING THAT AND EMS, EVERYTHING OF THAT SORT.

YEAH, SO, UM, I CAN TALK ABOUT THAT IN GREATER DETAIL, BUT WE HAVE CURRENTLY, UM, OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT AND EMS OPERATES UNDER A QUAD CITIES AGREEMENT AND THAT'S WITH INTECH, WHICH IS, DON'T ASK ME ON THE SPOT WHAT THAT STANDS FOR, UM, BUT IT'S SOMETHING ABOUT EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS, I CAN TELL YOU THAT MUCH OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

UH, AND SO THE INTECH INCLUDES ADDISON, FARMER'S BRANCH, COPPEL AND CARROLLTON AS THE QUAD CITIES.

AND SO, UM, WITH THAT AGREEMENT IS IT IS, ESPECIALLY FOR LARGE, UM, LIKE A STRUCTURE FIRE OR SOMETHING THAT IS, UM, A, A SIGNIFICANT EVENT, WE ARE GOING, IT'S GOING TO BE THE CLOSEST RESPONDENT IS GOING TO RESPOND AND THEN WHOEVER IS BACKUP BASED UPON THAT WILL RESPOND IN ADDITION TO.

SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF THERE WAS, LET'S SAY HYPOTHETICALLY THAT THERE WAS A STRUCTURE FIRE IN THE NEW MULTI-FAMILY IN FARMER'S BRANCH, THE NEW, UM, UNITS THAT ARE ABOVE THE PARKING GARAGE, IF THEY ARE, UH, CONSTRUCTED AND THERE'S A STRUCTURE FIRE, THE FIRST RESPONDENTS ARE GOING TO BE ADDISON PER GEOGRAPHIC DISTANCE PER OUR QUAD CITY AGREEMENT.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, FOR A STRUCTURE FIRE LIKE THAT, WE WOULD HAVE UM, PROBABLY TWO, TWO ENGINES, TWO TRUCKS, EXCUSE ME, FOUR ENGINES, TWO TRUCKS, TWO EMS, TWO TWO BATTALIONS REPORTING TO THIS SCENE.

YOU KNOW, TWO ENGINES BEING ADDISON, TWO ENGINE BEING FARMER'S BRANCH AND SO FORTH.

UM, BUT FAR IN THAT INSTANCE FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY FARMER'S BRANCH WOULD BE OUR BACKUP EVEN THOUGH IT'S

[00:25:01]

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT, WELL THANK YOU.

WE'LL, UM, GET THOSE, UM, ITEMS ON THE ABERDEEN PREPARED FOR DISCUSSION DURING THE REGULAR MEETING.

THANK YOU.

OKAY, THANKS LESLIE.

OKAY, UH, A NEW ADD-ON.

WE ARE NOW DOING CITIZEN COMMENTS, SO AT THIS TIME, UH, CITIZENS WILL BE ALLOWED TO SPEAK ON ANY OTHER MATTER OTHER THAN PERSONAL MATTERS UNDER LITIGATION FOR A LENGTH OF TIME NOT TO EXCEED THREE MINUTES.

NO P AND Z ACTION OR DISCUSSION MAY TAKE PLACE ON ANY MATTER UNTIL SUCH MATTER HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE AGENDA AND POSTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW.

DOES ANYONE HERE WISH TO SPEAK OR ANYONE ONLINE? OKAY.

OKAY.

HAVING SEEN ANY, UH, SEEN NONE.

I WILL ADJOURN THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION WORK SESSION AND WE WILL RECONVENE ABOUT FIVE MINUTES.

THANK YOU.
