Summary of Proceedings

Carrollton Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting - February 1, 2024

The Planning & Zoning Commission of Carrollton, Texas held a regular meeting on February 1, 2024, beginning at 6:34 p.m. and adjourning at 9:08 p.m. The meeting included consent agenda items, public hearings on zoning changes, special use permits, and transportation plan amendments. Commissioners voted on 14 agenda items, with decisions ranging from unanimous approvals to a denial and continuances.

Consent Calendar

  • Agenda Items 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 were approved unanimously (with Commissioner Yarborough absent) as part of the consent agenda after Commissioner Martin motioned and Commissioner Foster seconded. Item 4 was pulled for individual consideration.
  • Agenda Item 4 (Technical Site Plan for drive-through windows at International Business Park PH II) was approved unanimously with an additional stipulation to extend the western drive-through barrier to the north sidewalk, as allowed by city traffic engineering.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • Item 7 – Teso Arcade: Two residents (Kimberly Hawkins of 2505 Oakwood and Linda Wade of 2509 Oakwood) spoke in opposition, citing noise, parking, and safety concerns related to businesses on that corner. The applicant, Xiao Ling, responded that the arcade machines are in the front of the store and business hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., causing minimal disruption.
  • Item 8 – Yasha Auto Care: Multiple residents and business owners spoke in opposition. Doug McCracken (neighborhood representative) opposed the paint and body shop and outdoor storage, citing health and nuisance concerns. Anthony Wynne (son of a neighboring business owner) and Kevin No (employee of Fox Express restaurant) also opposed, focusing on health hazards. Pega Genji (real estate agent for the applicant) and John F. Latoony (broker) spoke in support, emphasizing the applicant’s history of property improvements. The applicant, Hom Sapasi, clarified he could forego the paint and body shop if needed.
  • Item 9 – J Auto: No public comments were made besides the applicant’s presentation.
  • Item 10 – Skylane Motors: No public testimony; the applicant did not appear.
  • Item 11 – Fujifilm Canopy Renovation: No public comments.
  • Item 12 – Maridoe Golf Club: One resident (Aim Kimball of 2649 Via Ventura Circle) spoke in support. Three written oppositions were noted but speakers not present.
  • Items 13 & 14 (Broadway PD and transportation plan): No public comments; both were continued.

Discussion Items

  • Item 4 (drive-through barriers): Commissioners discussed safety concerns about a pinch point and oncoming traffic. The applicant’s engineer agreed to extend the barrier; staff confirmed feasibility.
  • Item 7 – Teso Arcade: Staff recommended approval with stipulations. Commissioner Foster questioned the arcade’s proportion relative to retail; the applicant explained the arcade occupies about 400 sq ft of the 1,400 sq ft suite. Commissioner Foster voted against, but the motion passed 7-1.
  • Item 8 – Yasha Auto Care: Staff recommended denial due to the paint and body shop use near residences. After the applicant indicated he could remove the paint and body shop and focus on mechanic work and screened outdoor storage, the commission shifted. The final motion: close public hearing, approve with staff stipulations, remove stipulation #1 (allow paint/body shop), and add “all auto repairs shall occur indoors.” Passed unanimously.
  • Item 9 – J Auto: Staff recommended approval for indoor display of up to 12 vehicles; the applicant explained his niche serving Japanese expats. Approved unanimously.
  • Item 10 – Skylane Motors: Staff recommended denial, noting the applicant failed to provide required information, has code violation history, and has not complied with current SUP (outdoor display prohibited). Commissioners criticized the incomplete application and violations. A motion to approve with stipulations failed; the item was effectively denied, with a 10-day appeal window.
  • Item 11 – Fujifilm Canopy Renovation: Staff recommended approval after verifying that a hazardous materials plan was already approved; they requested removal of stipulation #3. The commission unanimously approved with that removal.
  • Item 12 – Maridoe Golf Club: Staff recommended approval for a new maintenance facility on the southwest corner of the golf course. The applicant’s engineer noted existing temporary facilities on the northwest corner would be removed within 30 days per stipulations. Unanimously approved.
  • Item 13 – Broadway-IH35E-Jackson (PD for multifamily): Applicant requested a continuance to March 7, 2024, to submit revised plans. The commission voted to keep the public hearing open and continue the item.
  • Item 14 – Broadway Street transportation plan (companion to Item 13): Also continued to March 7, 2024, with public hearing kept open.

Key Outcomes

  • Consent agenda items (1-3,5-6): Approved unanimously. Item 4 approved unanimously with an added barrier stipulation.
