Summary of Proceedings

Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting - May 5, 2022

The Carrollton Planning & Zoning Commission held a briefing session at 6:00 PM and a regular meeting at 7:00 PM on May 5, 2022, in Council Chambers at City Hall. Eight of nine commissioners were present (Commissioner Mark Yarborough absent). The meeting addressed three public hearing items: a historic designation nomination, a TABC distance waiver for a restaurant, and a special use permit for a private micro school. The consent agenda was approved unanimously, and the commission forwarded two items to City Council and denied one.

Consent Calendar

  • Minutes: Approved the April 7, 2022 meeting minutes unanimously.
  • Replat – Newcrest Centre Subdivision (PLRP 2022-041): Approved final action on a replat of an approximately 22-acre tract on East Trinity Mills Road, re-subdividing Block A, Lot 1R into two lots (Lot 1R-1 and Lot 2R-B). Motion passed unanimously.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • Item 3 – Historic Designation (Mary Heads Carter Park): Reverend Willie Rainwater (206 Southern Oaks, Carrollton) spoke in support, sharing family history and the park's significance. Al Overholt (2216 Ridgewood, liaison for Wood Creek Neighborhood Association) spoke in favor, emphasizing the family's contributions. One card of opposition was received, but no opponent spoke.
  • Item 4 – TABC Distance Waiver (Antico89 Pizza & Sports): No public testimony was offered. The applicant did not appear.
  • Item 5 – Special Use Permit (Great Hearts Micro School): Barbara Rayleigh (2026A Falcon Ridge Drive, Carrollton) spoke in opposition, citing traffic concerns near Rosemeade and Old Denton Road, especially with nearby Harmony and Creek View schools. The applicant, Jale Kim (10417 Netty Street, Fort Worth), provided closing remarks emphasizing the micro-school model and low enrollment.

Discussion Items

  • Item 3 – Historic Designation: Commissioner Denholm noted the property meets criteria for historic significance. Staff (Cody Scallions, museum curator) confirmed the designation would not affect maintenance of park structures. The commission discussed the importance of preserving local history.
  • Item 4 – TABC Distance Waiver: Staff (Molly Coryell) recommended denial because the shared common areas (bathrooms, etc.) with an adjacent church raised health and safety concerns. Economic hardship is not a valid criterion. Commissioner Foster noted the variance would run with the land, setting a precedent. Several commissioners expressed concern about future unknown tenants. The motion to approve failed.
  • Item 5 – Special Use Permit: Staff recommended approval with stipulations (max 50 students, adherence to floor plan and traffic plan). Transportation staff stated the site has adequate queuing capacity and the 50-student enrollment would generate about 200 vehicle trips per day, insignificant compared to nearby retail and larger schools. Enforceability of stipulations was discussed (code enforcement, fines up to $2,000/day).

Key Outcomes

  • Item 3 – Historic Designation: Motion to close public hearing and approve a historic landmark designation for Mary Heads Carter Park, substantially similar to the proposed marker, passed unanimously. Forwarded to City Council for June 7, 2022 meeting.
  • Item 4 – TABC Distance Waiver (PLADR 2022-45): Motion to close public hearing and approve the variance failed by a vote of 1 for (Commissioner Diamond) and 7 against. The applicant has 10 days to file a written appeal to the Planning Department for City Council consideration.
  • Item 5 – Special Use Permit (PLSUP 2021-234 Great Hearts Micro School): Motion to close public hearing and approve the SUP with staff stipulations passed unanimously. Forwarded to City Council for June 7, 2022 meeting.
  • Staff Reports: Update on recent City Council actions (approvals for Aviva mixed-use development, JBL height increase, Savoy alternative wall continued, Hebron/Huffines car wash, Tint Auto Care, Mickey's Town Daycare approved 5-2, Carrolltown multifamily approved 6-1, and three LR-1 rezoning map amendments approved unanimously).
