Summary of Proceedings

Carrollton Planning & Zoning Commission Briefing and Regular Meeting - May 1, 2025

The Carrollton Planning and Zoning Commission held a briefing session and regular meeting on May 1, 2025, at City Hall. Commissioners unanimously approved a consent agenda and three public hearing items. Vice Chair Kramer and Commissioner Martin were absent. The meeting adjourned at 7:23 PM.

Consent Calendar

  • Item 1: Minutes from the April 3, 2025 meeting were approved.
  • Item 2: A replat combining two lots into one at 1108 and 1110 Clint Street (J.H. Maltpress Addition, Case PLRP 2025-040) was approved with staff stipulations. The commission found the required easements and public right-of-way dedication to be necessary and proportional.

Public Hearings & Testimony

Item 3: Fujifilm Planned Development (PLZ 2025-061)

  • Proposal: An ordinance to rezone a 1.85-acre tract at 1200 West Jackson Road from Light Industrial (LI) with SUP-385 to a Planned Development (PD) district to allow a canopy encroachment into the front building setback.
  • Speaker Position: Jeffrey Fond, representing the applicant, stated the canopy is for the safety of workers unloading containers. He confirmed the canopy would be shorter than the building and set back 11 feet from the property line.
  • Public Comment: Four comment cards were submitted in favor (Vivian Fan, Chan, John Kremers, Albert Yang); none wished to speak. No opposition was expressed during the hearing.
  • Outcome: Approved unanimously and forwarded to City Council for the May 20, 2025 meeting.

Item 4: Oncor Electric Substation Special Use Permit (PLSUP 2025-044)

  • Proposal: A Special Use Permit (SUP) to allow an electric regulating substation on an approximately 9.11-acre lot at the southeast corner of King Arthur Boulevard and Old Denton Road in the O-2 Office District.
  • Speaker Position: Seth Sampson, a siting specialist for Oncor, stated the station is needed to handle projected load growth in the area by 2026. He outlined plans for an 8-foot masonry screen wall, a 3-foot landscaped berm, and equipment set 65 feet from the nearest home.
  • Public Opposition: Michelle Grant West (4233 Wild Cherry Drive) spoke in opposition, citing concerns about potential noise from the substation, questioning Oncor's presence in a CoServ-served area, and requesting noise mitigation measures.
  • Commission Discussion: Commissioners asked about noise levels (applicant described it as a potential hum on hot days, with no noise complaints on modern equipment), future expansion (confirmed a single-phase project for this site), and the location rationale (southern end chosen due to transmission line constraints on the north end).
  • Outcome: Approved unanimously and forwarded to City Council.

Item 5: Interim Prohibition of STR and B&B SUP Applications (PLZT 2025-074)

  • Proposal: A text amendment to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance establishing a one-year interim prohibition on accepting or issuing Special Use Permits for Short-Term Rentals (STRs) and Bed and Breakfasts (B&Bs) in residential districts, allowing the city to reevaluate its regulations.
  • Staff Position: Loren Shapiro from Development Services stated the one-year prohibition was in response to increased public concern and numerous speakers at commission and council meetings. Existing SUPs and lawful operators without an SUP who have a complete application pending can obtain a temporary permit. The grandfathered status of operations preceding the 2023 regulations is unaffected.
  • Public Support: Dave Waters spoke in favor, emphasizing the importance of enforcement and community involvement in regulating STRs.
  • Commission Discussion: Commissioner Foster noted the need for more specific rules. Commissioner Overholt supported the move and hopes for future dedicated areas and registration requirements. Commissioner Doyle questioned the filing deadline (May 6, 2025), noting applications could be filed before the hold begins.
  • Outcome: Approved unanimously and forwarded to City Council for the May 6, 2025 meeting.

Key Outcomes

  • Consent Agenda: Unanimously approved with staff stipulations.
  • Fujifilm PD (PLZ 2025-061): Unanimously approved. Case forwarded to City Council (May 20, 2025).
  • Oncor Substation SUP (PLSUP 2025-044): Unanimously approved. Case forwarded to City Council.
  • STR/B&B Interim Prohibition (PLZT 2025-074): Unanimously approved. Case forwarded to City Council (May 6, 2025).
  • Attendance: All motions passed unanimously with Vice Chair Kramer and Commissioner Martin absent.
