Summary of Proceedings

Carrollton Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting – May 4, 2023

The Carrollton Planning & Zoning Commission held a regular meeting on May 4, 2023, at 6:30 PM in the Council Chambers. Seven of nine commissioners were present (Commissioners Kramer and Taylor absent). The meeting addressed a consent agenda (minutes and a replat) and two public hearings: the repeal of Planned Development No. 159 and a special use permit for screen printing. All votes were unanimous (7-0).

Consent Calendar

  • Agenda Items 1 & 2: Approved unanimously. Minutes of the April 6, 2023 meeting were approved. A replat of Carrollton Commerce Center, Lot 2, Block F (approximately 1.548 acres at the northwest corner of Old Denton Road and Crowley Drive) was approved to dedicate and abandon easements to a lot of record (Case No. PLRP 2023-022). No public comments were received.

Discussion Items

  • Public Hearing: Repeal of Planned Development No. 159 (Case No. PLZPD 2023-026): Staff presented a request to repeal PD-159 for a 0.63-acre tract at 2775 East Trinity Mills Road (northwest corner of Marsh Lane and East Trinity Mills Road). The PD originally allowed a 5-foot rear setback (reduced from 10 feet) for a gas station that was demolished about 20 years ago; the current shell building houses a salon with no setback issue. Staff found no value in retaining the PD. No public testimony was offered. The commission closed the public hearing and approved the repeal unanimously.
  • Public Hearing: Special Use Permit for Integrity Branding (Case No. PLSUP 2023-028): Staff requested approval of a special use permit (SUP) for miscellaneous manufacturing (screen printing on clothing and textiles) at 1407 Westway Circle, a 0.50-acre tract zoned PD-87 (Heavy Commercial). The applicant, Scott Karstins, stated his family-owned business (occupied the building from 2003-2016, later leased to Reflection Glass) plans to return with two screen printing machines and dryers. There will be no building additions. Staff noted no public comments and deemed the use appropriate for the commercial/industrial area. Commissioner Powell asked if an SUP would transfer to a future tenant; staff clarified any different miscellaneous manufacturing use would require a new SUP. Commissioner Doyle asked about odors; the applicant stated inks have no odor. Commissioner Foster asked about environmental impact; Building Inspection staff noted an environmental survey form is required but typically completed near permitting. The commission closed the public hearing and approved the SUP with staff stipulations unanimously.

Key Outcomes

  • Consent agenda approved (Items 1 and 2) – unanimous 7-0.
  • Case PLZPD 2023-026 (Repeal of PD-159) approved – forwarded to City Council on June 6, 2023.
  • Case PLSUP 2023-028 (Integrity Branding) approved with staff stipulations – forwarded to City Council on June 6, 2023.
  • Meeting adjourned at 6:51 PM.
