Summary of Proceedings

Carrollton Planning & Zoning Commission Regular Meeting - March 4, 2021

The Carrollton Planning & Zoning Commission met by telephonic videoconference on March 4, 2021. The posted agenda included a 6:15 p.m. briefing session with board training and staff presentations; no public testimony was taken. The regular meeting was called to order at 7:17 p.m. and adjourned at 8:01 p.m. All nine commission members were present.

Consent Calendar

Approved the February 4, 2021 meeting minutes as presented.
Approved Trinity Mills Station replat, Case No. PLRP2021-006, for an approximately 24.6-acre tract on the south side of Trinity Mills and north side of Dickerson Parkway, establishing Lots 1-5, Block B, Trinity Mills Station. Approval included staff stipulations and a finding that the right-of-way dedication is necessary and proportional to the proposed development. The consent agenda passed unanimously, 9-0.

Public Comments & Testimony

Al Overholt, 2216 Ridgewood, said he liked the idea of a senior living facility and saw a need for it, but expressed concern that the city was 'trying to have it both ways' by using multifamily zoning for an age-restricted project with reduced parking. He urged the city to define senior living facilities in the zoning code before approving such projects, citing the risk of conversion to a standard apartment complex if the project failed. He said he was troubled by the approach.

Discussion Items

Repeal of Five Special Use Permits, Case No. PLSUP 2021-10: City-initiated item to repeal SUP 59 (1007 Palm Street daycare), SUP 96 (1028 MacArthur Drive daycare), SUP 195 (2081 Hutton Drive Suite 206 daycare), SUP 95 (1406 Halsey Way private television transmitting cable company with a 40-foot tower), and SUP 301 (4004 Midway Road automotive detailing and minor repair facility). Staff reported the properties total approximately 5.8 acres and that the uses are inactive, expired, or obsolete. Staff noted SUP 301 expired in 2018. No public speakers commented. The commission voted unanimously, 9-0, to close the public hearing and approve the repeal with staff stipulations.
Avenida Carrollton, Case No. PLZ 2020-162: Staff presented a request to amend Planned Development District PD-122 by removing an approximately 1.18-acre tract from PD-122 and including it with an approximately 9.017-acre tract in PD-132; rezone the amended PD-132 from O-4 Office to allow multifamily use; add conceptual plans; and provide modified development standards. The approximately 10-acre site is at the northwest corner of Josey Lane and Arbor Creek Drive. Applicant Michael Murphy of Avenida Partners said the project would include 155 apartment homes and 48 duplex/triplex cottages, all rental, market rate, and restricted to seniors 55 and older, with deed restrictions and amenities such as pools, spas, pickleball courts, walking paths, and gardens. He stated multifamily parking would be 1.2 spaces per unit and cottages would be parked per code, including guest parking. Staff said the building would be about 100 feet from the Josey Lane right-of-way and that the traffic impact analysis showed sufficient capacity. Commissioner discussion focused on whether the use is multifamily or assisted living, the enforceability of deed restrictions, and the long-term conversion risk. Staff acknowledged the city does not regulate age-restricted uses or deed restrictions but noted the PD stipulations would control development.

Key Outcomes

Consent agenda approved unanimously, 9-0.
PLSUP 2021-10 (repeal of five SUPs) approved unanimously, 9-0.
PLZ 2020-162 (Avenida Carrollton) approved 8-1, with Commissioner Merriman opposed. The case was forwarded to the City Council for consideration in approximately four weeks.
Staff reports: City Council action from the prior Tuesday included approval of Repo's Auto Sales, the comprehensive subdivision ordinance amendments, and the Learmark corner mixed-use multifamily project at Dickerson Parkway and Trinity Mills. The Carroll Prest project was continued to the March 23 meeting.
