Discussion Items
- Case 07-18SUP1 – Salones Bel Air Special Use Permit: Staff, led by case coordinator Molly J. Coryell, presented a request for an event/reception hall at 3030 North Josey Lane, Suite 133. The agenda listed the suite as 6,847 square feet; staff described it as approximately 6,800 square feet. The site is zoned LR-2 Local Retail, and staff noted there are no special development standards for the site. Staff recommended approval, noting parking requirements were met and that a residential area is about 100 feet from the rear of the building to residential property lines. Applicant Gracie Rojas, a Carrollton resident who has operated two similar facilities in Garland for 11 years, said the business would not serve or sell food or alcohol; clients may bring in food and alcohol, no glass is allowed, contracts require compliance with TABC regulations, and the rear door would be used only as an emergency exit. Commissioner discussion addressed BYOB arrangements and code enforcement noise standards, including that the decibel threshold for noise violations is lowered by about 7 decibels at night.
- Case 07-18ZT1 – Alcoholic Sales and Manufacturing Zoning Ordinance Amendment: Staff, led by case coordinator Loren Shapiro, presented a proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance to rename “beverage and tobacco manufacturing” as “beverage manufacturing,” move tobacco manufacturing into miscellaneous manufacturing, and allow beverage manufacturing — including breweries and wineries — in transit center districts such as the Frankford Road/Trinity Mills DART areas and downtown. Staff recommended approval, noting that TABC regulates alcohol sales and that the city can regulate the location of beverage manufacturing. All transit center subdistricts would allow beverage manufacturing by right except the urban fringe. Commissioners asked whether the amendment also covers non-alcoholic beverages; staff confirmed that “beverage manufacturing” includes both alcoholic and non-alcoholic products. Commissioner Chadwick expressed personal opposition to having wineries and breweries in Carrollton, although he is not opposed to alcohol served in restaurants.
Key Outcomes

- Consent agenda approved unanimously, 7–0.
- Case 07-18SUP1 approved unanimously, 7–0, with staff stipulations.
- Case 07-18ZT1 approved 6–1, with Commissioner Chadwick dissenting.

- Meeting adjourned at 7:24 PM.
