Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Um, sorry for the delay.

There were quite a few cars we had to count through and get sorted between all the different agenda items.

Um,

but we'll get to it now.

So if you would please silence your cell phones and all other devices at this time.

I am calling the meeting to order at 6 40 p.m.

on December 5th, 2024 for the meeting of the planning and zoning commission for the city of Carrollton.

And this commission consists of nine members, eight of whom are present tonight, with Commissioner Yarborough being absent.

This commission has the authority on certain items and advisory role on others.

In the case of advisory items, the commission's recommendation for denial will be considered by city council if the applicant makes requests in accordance with city ordinance.

The commission conducts its business in accordance with the posted agenda, copies of which are in the lobby outside these chambers.

In accordance with the state open meetings act, the planning and zoning commission is restricted from discussion, discussing or taking action on items not listed on the agenda.

Approval of a subdivision or plat or replat is required by state law if the plat meets all applicable provisions of state law and the city of Carrollton's ordinances.

A plat is deemed approved by operation of law.

If no action to approve or deny a plat by the planning commission is taken within 30 days after a plat meeting, all requirements is filed.

The public may comment on all items listed on the agenda for planning and zoning commission consideration.

And if you wish to comment on any agenda item, please complete an appearance card located on the table at the entrance to city council chambers if you've not already done so.

The items on the agenda under the heading public hearings will be considered individually, beginning with the case presentation.

After any questions from the commission, the staff and the applicant, the commission will provide an opportunity for the individual to speak on the case.

When it is your time to speak, please come forward to the podium, give your name and address for the record, and make your comments to the commission.

When everyone has had the opportunity to speak, the applicant will be given an opportunity to make brief closing comments.

At that time, there will be no further opportunities for public testimony on that item.

The public hearing portion of the case cases considered tonight are intended to be an opportunity for the public to be heard by the commission.

It is not an opportunity for the commission to respond to public testimony or answer questions from the public.

After the case presentations and public testimony period is completed, the commission will conduct any discussions and action as appropriate.

Thank

you.

So

the first order business tonight is to hear public comments for our one individual consideration item, which is the approval of the no member November 7th, 2024 planning and zoning meeting minute.

If

there's anyone like to come forward at this time.

Yes, Commissioner Foster.

I um I second that motion.

Thank you, Commissioner Doyle.

Thank you, Commissioner Foster.

So a motion was made by Commissioner Doyle and seconded by Commissioner Foster to prove our one consideration item, which is the November 7th, 2024 meeting minutes.

So the motion passes unanimously with one commissioner, Commissioner Yarborough being absent.

Thank

you.

Thank so now we're going to proceed to the public hearing portion of the agenda tonight, starting with agenda item number two, which is to hold a public hearing to consider an ordinance amending the zoning to amend a special use permit to allow the extension of an existing event center and reception hall on an approximately 5.921 acre track zone, light industrial and office, and located at 2424 Marsh Lane, amending the official zoning map accordingly.

This is case number PL SUP 2024-134, Dallas Palms Event Center.

And

our case coordinator tonight is Miss Emily Offer.

Good evening, Commission Emily Offer Development Services.

This request is for an SUP amendment for a special event center.

So this event center has existed since then.

And they're also requesting an extension of approximately 1,126 square feet.

In 2018, there was an amendment for this SUP for a much larger extension that was never built.

So they're coming back again for an extension in a different location that is smaller.

At this time, I would also like to call your attention to the stipulations.

As you can see, there's a number of different um areas or some language that was struck that is being removed from the stipulations, and then we added uh some stipulations as well.

If you take a look at uh stipulations J and K, you can see that we have limited their hours of operation.

And uh with K due to the three public comments uh in opposition, all being um I'm sorry, two public comments for this case, uh one uh report from police, which was also a noise disturbants in regard to this property.

We have limited the hours of outdoor music as well from 10 a.m.

to 8 p.m.

The extension is on the north side of the property here, and here is a closer uh view of the extension again.

It's approximately 1,126 square feet.

And this is the floor plan.

Staff is recommending approval with stipulations.
