Summary of Proceedings

Carrollton Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting – September 2, 2021

The Carrollton Planning and Zoning Commission held a regular meeting on September 2, 2021, convening a briefing session at 6:15 PM and the regular meeting at 7:16 PM. The Commission considered eight items on the agenda, including a consent agenda, two public hearings, and various development proposals, adjourning at 8:50 PM. Commissioner Catherine Taylor was absent from the nine-member commission.

Consent Calendar

  • Minutes: Approved the minutes of the August 5, 2021 meeting.
  • Carroll Crest Addition, Phase 1A (Case PLFP 2021-121): Final plat approved for a 2.26-acre tract with staff stipulations and a finding that the right-of-way dedication is necessary and proportional.
  • Segovia Subdivision Replat (Case PLRP 2021-108): Replat approved for a 1.6-acre tract with revised staff stipulations and the same proportional finding. The consent agenda was approved 8–0.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • Clear Water Express Car Wash SUP (Item 7, Case PLSUP 2021-102): No members of the public spoke during the public hearing.
  • Big Pappi K Tattoos SUP (Item 8, Case PLSUP 2021-120):
    • Opposition: Justin Brewer, a resident of 2711 Quail Ridge Drive, argued against the permit, stating it is inappropriate to place a tattoo parlor between two elementary schools (Jerry R. Junkins and Country Place). He cited Texas Penal Code Sec. 146.102 and school district dress code policies.
    • Applicant: Giovanni Varisto defended the application, stating they strictly follow ID verification and record-keeping laws to prevent tattooing minors and face regular state inspections.
  • CZO Text Amendments (Item 9, Case PLZT 2020-122): No members of the public offered testimony.

Discussion Items

  • Carrollton Commerce Center Replat (Item 4, Case PLRP 2021-118): The Commission debated a replat subdividing an existing lot. The main issue was whether to require a dedicated access easement for a future lot (Lot 4) immediately or wait until that lot is developed. The applicant (Brian Berger) argued that prematurely plating the easement could conflict with future building plans and require another replat.
  • Chick-fil-A Drive-Through (Item 5, Case PLTSP 2021-119): Commissioner Denham raised concerns about traffic congestion from vehicles attempting left turns onto Old Denton Road without a connected cross-access to Trinity Mills. He cited observations of similarly high volumes at the existing restaurant. The applicant stated a development agreement would guarantee this connection even if the adjacent property does not develop.
  • Carrollton Gateway Multifamily Plan (Item 6, Case PLDP 2021-126): Staff recommended approval of the modified plan for a 6-story building (30% of the building is 6 stories) but objected to 24 uncovered surface parking spaces on the north side, conflicting with Trinity Mills transit center guidelines. Staff requested these spaces be covered.
  • Clear Water Express Car Wash SUP (Item 7, Case PLSUP 2021-102): Staff opposed the request due to the site being located in an area suited for less intensive commercial uses, despite the quality of the proposed facility. The applicant (Heather Rimmer) expressed frustration that staff required multiple plan revisions before ultimately objecting based on land use incompatibility.
  • CZO Text Amendments (Item 9, Case PLZT 2020-122): Staff (Mike McCauley) presented a package of amendments. Key proposals included adding a use for "Outdoor Nursery or Garden Center" and removing "Christmas Tree Sales", allowing administrative approval of minor SUP modifications, removing redundant daycare fencing rules, adding TIA requirements for private schools and gas stations, regulating fuel station canopies and semi-truck parking, and clarifying the definition of "Temporary".

Key Outcomes

  • Carrollton Commerce Center Replat (Item 4): Approved 8–0 with revised staff stipulations.
  • Chick-fil-A Drive-Through (Item 5): Approved 8–0 with an additional stipulation that mutual access to the north must be constructed concurrently with the site.
  • Carrollton Gateway MF Plan (Item 6): Approved 8–0 with an additional stipulation that all surface parking must be covered.
  • Clear Water Express Car Wash SUP (Item 7): Motion to approve failed 3–5. Commissioners Powell, Denham, Sundaran, Windrow, and Chadwick opposed. The applicant was notified of the right to appeal within 10 days.
  • Big Pappi K Tattoos SUP (Item 8): Motion to approve passed 5–3 with staff stipulations limiting hours of operation. Commissioners Carpenter, Chadwick, and Windrow opposed.
  • CZO Text Amendments (Item 9): Approved 8–0 with a minor modification to Article 34 (adding the word "temporary" before both instances of "certificate of occupancy" in the definition).
