B i l l Tench), Mayor Fuller introduced Mr. Robert Caldwell, advising that Mr. Caldwell and Associates have planned the proposed zoning ordinance with corresponding maps. Mr. Caldwell introduced Mts aohy-Mr. Charles Caldwell, who has recently joined the firm of Caldwell and Associates. City Attorney James Cribbs explained that the proposed zoning ordinance will encompass eleven (11) zoning classifications and amend the temporary zoning ordinance No. 33, presently used in the City of Euless. Mayor Fuller stated that Members of the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission have discussed the proposed ordinance several times and suggestions and revisions were formulated for consideration. Mayor Fuller requested Mr. Caldwell to ex- plai'n the proposed ordinance. Mr. Caldwell stated that this ordinance is proposed to up -date the one in existence and encompasses a l l modern concepts of zoning. Mr. Caldwell stated that he and his staff have carefully studied the development of the City of Euless and are of the opinion that this zoning ordinance w i l l assist the City in its growth for a decade, possibly more, and he commends it to the City. Councilman Samuels inquired about having three or four classifications for multiple family dwellings, based on density, etc. 162 (Page Ten, Regular Meeting of the Euless City Council, September 24, 1968) Mr. Caldwell stated that, in some instances, the minimum standard housing ordinance has taken care of this; however, in others it has been handled through a zoning ordinance such as the one he proposes for the City of Euless. Mayor Fuller recognized Doctor Thomes who inquired approximately how long this ordinance has been under consideration. Mayor Fuller answered that several years have been given to the study of a proposed ordinance, Doctor Thomes inquired if the regional airport had been taken into consideration during the work phase of this ordinance. He was advised by Mayor Fuller that the regional airport had been given much considera- tion and had been encompassed in this zoning ordinance. Doctor Thomes inquired if other airports, such as O'Hara and Idlewilde, had been studied in order to integrate different ideas.. He was advised by Mr. Caldwell and Mayor Fuller that numerous airports had been studied. Mayor Fuller recognized Mr. Bill Pasteur who stated that, in the past, the Planning and Zoning Commission and City'Council had placed a time l i m i t (condi ti(bns subsequent) on rezoning requests. Mr. Pasteur inquired if the adoption of the new zoning ordinance w i I I affect the conditions subsequent ordinances which are presently inexistence. The City Attorney stated this ordinance w i I I not affect the' existing condition subsequent ordinances -- that they still w i l l be i n existence. Mr. Pasteur stated that the conditions subsequent clause i s very cumbersome. Mayor Fuller explained that this time I i m i t is imposed i n order to assure that the property is not rezoned merely for speculative purposes. Mr. Pasteur stated that i n many cases the property i s sold contingent on the zoning. City Attorney Cribbs'explained that the purpose of zoning is to have a proper plan and that the time I i m i t imposed i s to protect the people. Doctor Hall stated that he feels that the "conditions Subsequent" is unjust_ Doctor Thomes stated that it appears that the placing -of the conditions subsequent on the rezoning is placing a burden on the people. Mr. Caldwell stated that in the preparation of the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Euless a vast study has been made and the land use map has been projected for approximately the next twenty (20) years. In answer to a question, Mr. Caldwell stated that he feels that the City should be considerate of the conditions subsequent. Mr. Caldwell stated that on any zoning change submitted after the adoption of the zoning ordinance, the land -use plan should definitely be referred to before granting this rezoning. s3 (Page Eleven, Regular Meeting of the Euless City Council, September 24, 1968) Doctor Hall stated that he agrees with Mr. Caldwell t h a t a time l i m i t should be placed on larger developments but on the small requests, he feels it is unjust to impose the "conditions subsequent" stipulation. City Attorney Cribbs inquired of Mr. Pasteur exactly how he determines that the conditions subsequent is binding on the - developers. Mr. Pasteur stated that he i s of the apinion that if a man wants to sell his property, he should be able to sell it. Also that he, as a citizen of Euless, is acquainted with the Council Members and is of the opinion that if he came in to request an extension on a conditions subsequent ordinance, the same would be granted; however, out of town land purchasers, who are not acquainted with the Members of the City- Counci 1, are hesitant to purchase property, for fear that their request for an extension would not be granted. It was pointed out that the City Council can control zoning with site plans and building plans. Councilman Douglass stated that the City Council has placed the conditions subsequent in an effort to accomplish what is best for Euless. City Attorney Cribbs stated that the conditions subsequent is a matter of policy and not actually incorporated in the proposed oon ing ordinance. Mayor Fuller recognized Mr. Don Reams of Fort Worth who inquired if the adoption of the zoning map means that the property w i I I be zoned as the map indicates. Mr. Caldwell stated that the land -use plan is the goal that the City hopes to reach and that the zoning district map will govern the zoning -- that each time property is zoned, the zoning district map must indicate the zoning change. Mayor Fuller recognized Mr. Troy Fuller who stated that he was advised by City officials that, in conjunction with the adoption of the new zoning ordinance, a property owner can request a zoning change at the Public Hearing. Mr. Troy Fuller stateld that therefore he requests a zoning, change on property located on North Main, north of Harwood Road, 321 feet deep and 330 feet wide, adjacent to property presently owned by Doctor Thorne s. He stated that the property is presently residential and he requests that it be reclassified to C -2. Mr. Caldwell, in gnswer to a question by Mayor Fuller, stated that such a request can be granted at this Hea4ing, or if the Council so desires, the usual procedure for rezoning may be fd)dlowed. Mr. Cribbs stated that the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission w i I I study a I I requests submitted before adopt- ing! the zoning ordinance -- that the zoning ordinance cannot be adopted at this time. 16 4 (Page Twelve, Regular Meeting of the Euless City Council, September 24, 1968) Mr. Troy Fuller presented a plat of the area depicting the location of the property in his rezoning request, and colored slides of a Veterinary Clinic and Hospital in the City of Irving owned by Doctor Thomes -- a very attractive structure, adjacent to a residential area of $25,000.00 to $30,000.00 homes. Mr. Fuller stated these slides are presented in, an effort to show that the attractive Veterinary Clinic and Hospital does not detract the neighborhood. Mr. Troy Fuller explained that Doctor Thomes has a contract to purchase the property adjacent to property he presently owns. Mayor Fuller stated that he recalls, several years ago, that Doctor Thomes requested rezoning to accommodate a Veterinary Clinic and was met with much opposition, especially from the person owning the land which Doctor Thomes now has under option. Mayor Fuller stated that he would strongly recommend that Doctor Thomes proceed on this zoning request through the proper channels and that he is of the opinion that Euless does need a fine veterinary clinic and hospital. Mayor Fuller recognized Mr. David Glidden, 406 Franklin, who inquired of the effect rezoning would have on a neighborhood if the rezoning is from R -1 to C -2. Mr. Caldwell stated that it would have much effect; that to change a portion of an R District to a Commercial District w i l l create many objections because you w i l l be affecting many other properties i n the area, Mr. Glidden inquired about the commercial zoning along Highway 183. He stated that he objects to the property being zoned commercial i n the area on both sides of Franklin, between Simmons and Norman. I t was pointed out that this area is not i n the 300 foot zone and that, possibly, the map has infringed erroneously. Mr. Jack Browne stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission had issued a memorandum on the various categories in the new proposed ordinance. He stated that he would like to know if the ordinance includes the changes and recommendations submitted by the Planning and Zoning Commission Members -- that he is unable to find in the ordinance where his ideas were used. He inquired if a revised ordinance with. all of these suggested changes had been issued. Mayor Fuller stated that all of the changes submitted were considered -- t h a t a l l the changes w i I I be consolidat- ed and would be incorporated in the new ordinance.after careful study. City Manager Griggs stated that the changes recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council w i I I be evaluated along with the items mentioned by citizens during the Public Hearing and w i l l be incorporated in the ordinance when it is finalized. i65 (Page Thirteen, Regular Meeting of the Euless City Council, September 24, 196 8) Mayor Fuller recognized Mr. Walter Elliott who stated that he is desirous that the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission, upon the adopt i-on of the new zoning ordinance, w i l l not emphatically say that this is the way that the property is zoned and w i I I not be considerate of rezoning requests -- that if the City does not feel that this ordinance is final, he is of the opinion that the proposed zoning ordinance wi I I serve the City w e l l -- t h a t he hopes the City Council w i l l permit the :rezoning procedure used in the past to continue in the future. Mr. Elliott stated that he commends the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council for their work on the zoning ordinance -- that he has several comments pertaining to the ordinance which are minor and he wi I I discuss at a later date. Doctor Hall inquired concerning the sound in the residential area adjacent to the proposed regional airport. Mr. Caldwell stated that the land -use study and zoning ordinance is based on the latest public plan issued by the airport and that consideration definitely was given to the noiee factor in planning this rezoning map. =Mr. Cdldwell stated t h a t he has been advised t h a t a new plan w i l l be forthcoming sometime this week. Mr. Weber made a motion to close the Public Hearing. Councilman Shull stated that he recalls that it was announced just several weeks ago that the Public Hearing could be recessed and reconvened at a later date, if the Council agreed that further consideration should be given to the zoning ordinance and that, in his opinion, the Public Hearing should be recessed in order for the public and the Council and Planning and Zoning Members to have additional time for study of this most important ordinance. Mr. Weber stated that, in his opinion, the public has been notified by the legal notice in the paper and those who were interested are present tonight to voice their opinions. Councilman Byers stated that no one can be certain that the plan to be released by the Airport Authority this week wi I I have any effect on the zoning in this area, but that if there is a p o s s i b i l i t y t h a t such a plan w i l l be available, possibly, it would be best to recess the Public Hearing in order for this plan to be given considera- tion. to close the Public Hearing. follows: Councilman Douglass seconded the motion Mayor Fuller asked for a vote, which is as Ayes: Councilmen Douglass; Messrs.
