Carrollton Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting – November 7, 2019
The Planning & Zoning Commission met on November 7, 2019, at 7:28 PM in the Council Chambers. All nine commissioners were present. The meeting covered consent agenda items, multiple public hearings, and several continuances to the December 5 meeting. Key actions included approval of replats and special use permits, and extended discussions on the Kensington Gardens apartment proposal.
Consent Calendar
- Agenda Item 1 – Minutes: The October 3, 2019 meeting minutes were not approved due to a typographical error; the item was skipped.
- Agenda Items 2–6 (Consent): Unanimously approved (9-0). Items included replats for Valley View West Business Park Lots 5 & 6 (Case PL RP 2019-126), International Business Park Phase 3 Lot 2 (Case PL RP 2019-137), Raiford Addition Phase 1 Lot 1 (Case PL RP 2019-134), and preliminary and final plats for Kang Development Addition (Cases PL PP 2019-141 and PL FP 2019-144). Approval included stipulations for items 2, 3, 4, and 6, and a finding that the right-of-way dedication for Item 3 was necessary and proportional.
Public Hearings & Discussion Items
- Item 7 – Jackson Arms Addition Replat (Case PL RP 2019-129): Staff recommended approval. No public testimony. Unanimously approved (9-0).
- Item 8 – Charles Ridge Replat (Case PL RP 2019-130): Staff recommended approval. No public testimony. Unanimously approved (9-0) with staff stipulations and a finding that the right-of-way dedication was necessary and proportional.
- Item 9 – Crosby Road Property Rezoning (Case PL Z 2019-145): Staff requested continuance to allow further negotiations. No public testimony. Public hearing kept open and continued to December 5, 2019 (9-0).
- Item 10 – Warehouse at Crescent SUP (Case PL SUP 2019-132): Staff presented a request for a special use permit for a warehouse/distribution facility on a 3.42-acre Freeway District zoned tract. The applicant noted support from a neighboring property. The truck court and dock doors would be placed behind the building, away from view. Staff recommended approval with revised stipulations. No public testimony. Unanimously approved (9-0).
- Item 11 – Skylane Motorcars SUP (Case PL SUP 2019-117): Special use permit for indoor used auto sales on a 1.56-acre Light Industrial tract. The applicant proposed all indoor sales. Staff recommended approval with stipulations. No public testimony. Unanimously approved (9-0).
- Items 12 & 13 – Kensington Gardens (Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning): Companion cases to rezone 11 acres at 2308 Marsh Lane/2317 Tarpley Road from Office/Industrial to MF-18 Multifamily Residential (334 units). The applicant, Steve Leonard (Leonard Development), presented a four-story, 334-unit concept with an urban garden design, amenities including a pool, dog park, and sand volleyball courts. Staff recommended denial due to density (over 30 units/acre vs. the 18-unit/acre base), height, and location outside transit-oriented districts. Commissioners expressed concerns about density and building height but saw potential for a scaled-back project. No public testimony. Both cases were continued to the December 5 meeting (9-0 each).
- Items 14 & 15 – Kelly Cove (Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning): Companion cases to change land use and zoning to allow single-family townhomes on 8.5 acres at 2601 Kelly Boulevard. The applicant requested a continuance to revise plans based on staff review. Two public comment cards were submitted (one opposing, one with questions), but no one spoke. Both items were continued to December 5 (8-0, Commissioner Christman recused).
- Item 16 – CZO Text Changes – Trinity Mills Center (Case PL ZT 2019-110): Staff presented amendments to Article XX (Transit Center District) for the Trinity Mills subdistrict. Key changes include: requiring a special use permit (not special development plan) for surface parking, reducing minimum parking to 1 space per dwelling unit, adding definitions for flex/commercial-ready space, adjusting restaurant parking ratios, removing the 30,000 sq ft SUP threshold for retail, and allowing master development agreements to bypass Planning & Zoning for phased plans. Commissioner Kaiser raised a concern about atriums not being addressed; the commission amended the motion to direct staff to study and include atrium language before forwarding to city council. Unanimously approved (9-0) with that amendment.
Key Outcomes
- Consent Items 2–6: Approved with stipulations (9-0).
- Items 7, 8, 10, 11: Approved as presented (9-0 each).
- Items 9, 12, 13, 14, 15: Continued to the December 5, 2019 meeting (9-0 or 8-0 where recusal applied).
- Item 16: Approved with direction to staff to research and incorporate regulations for atriums (9-0).
- Staff Reports: Update on recent City Council actions: repealed special use permits were approved; The View development approved with 26 townhome units, 20-foot garage setback, and two-story height limit, addressing density and trail openness concerns.
- The meeting adjourned at 9:06 PM.
Meeting Transcript
Phones or other devices. I call this meeting to order at seven twenty-eight PM. This is the November seventh, twenty nineteen meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Carrollton. This commission consists of nine members, all of which are present this evening. This commission has final authority on certain items and an advisory role on others. In the case of advisory items, our recommendation for denial will be considered by the city council if the applicant makes a written request in accordance with city ordinance. We conduct our business in accordance with the posted agenda, copies of which are in the lobby outside these chambers. All the items on the agenda under the heading public hearings will begin with the applicant's presentation. After any questions from the Commission of Staff and the applicant, we will ask if there is anyone present who would like to speak on the case. If you wish to speak at that time, please come forward to the podium, give your name and address for the record, and make your comments to the commission. When the public has had the opportunity to speak, we will allow the applicant to make any closing comments. At that time, we will close the public hearing and there will be no further opportunities to speak. The public hearing portions of cases considered tonight are intended to be an opportunity for the public to be heard by the commission. It is not an opportunity for the commission to respond to public comments or answer questions from the public. After the public hearing is closed, the commission will conduct any discussion and action as appropriate. And so we will not be taking any action on the minutes. It doesn't. No. Okay. That's a typo on number six. Thank you. So again, the motion was to uh approve agenda uh the consent agenda items two through six with stipulations on two, three, four, and six, and the finding that the right-of-way dedication is necessary and proportional to the proposed development on number three. Motion was by Commissioner Sunder and second by Commissioner Kaiser. Are they all one now? Terms of voting, they are okay. This motion passes unanimously nine to zero. Next item business tonight is agenda item number seven. This is case number PLRP 2019-129 Jackson Arms edition. Section two, phase two, lot 10 R1 and 10 R2. Case coordinators, Mr. Shapiro. Greeting Commissioners, Chairman. Skip through some of these. Um between the two units that are currently on the property. Um staff is recommending approval of this replat as it meets the subdivision ordinance and zoning ordinance. But it is a public hearing.
