Stephen Cook, Senior Planner, gave a brief description of the case. The Planning and
Zoning Commission approved a preliminary plat of this property on December 18, 2012.
This plat establishes the first phase of the development including 55 residential lots in
accordance with the regulations of the Planned Development Ordinance. The open

subdivision, the swimming pool amenity center for the subdivision and the external trail
system along Bear Creek Parkway and Midway Drive which will eventually connect with
the greater Riverwalk development.
The Development Services Group has certified that the conditions contained within the
final plat application meet the technical standards of the City of Euless.

ITEM 4 CASE #13-08-SP — CONSIDER A REQUEST FOR A SITE PLAN
Motion to recommend approval of a request for a Site Plan for Commercial
Development located on Block B, Lot 1 Glade Parks Addition, west of SH
121, south of Loving Trail.
Stephen Cook, Senior Planner, gave a brief description of the case. This is a site plan
for a commercial building with retail lease spaces on an outparcel of the Glade Parks
master development. This parcel, referred to as parcel 21 within the original Preliminary
Plat of Glade Parks, is located immediately north of the existing Rosa's Café restaurant.
The applicant proposes to construct a 9,050 square foot retail site with four lease areas.
The building will be protected with a fire sprinkler system and have fire lane (EADUE)
installed around the north and east sides of the structure, tying into the restaurant to the
south.
The site provides enough parking to meet the standards of the PD zoning district and
the City of Euless Unified Development Code. Because of the grade difference from the
grade elevation of the building and the grade of SH 121, a retaining wall will be
constructed along the highway frontage. Landscaping will exceed the minimum
standards of the ordinance and be provided along the street frontages of Loving Trail,

P & Z Minutes December 17, 2013
SH 121 and Rio Grande Blvd. The front sidewalk along the storefronts will feature
raised planters to provide landscaping along the front of the building and provide an
intervening structure between the parking areas and the front of the building, shielding
from accidental vehicular movement into the building.
The facade of the building meets the architectural intent of the Glade Parks original
vision. There are differences in heights of the leased spaces as well as caps to the
buildings which will be reminiscent of the design style of the primary in-line retail spaces
to be built. The materials of the building will be compliant with the masonry standards of
the City of Euless.
The Development Services Group has certified that the site plan is in accordance with
the requirements of the City of Euless.
Staff recommends approval of the site plan.
Commissioner Tompkins asked for clarification on the signage for the site.
Tom Winn, 4909 Stage Line Drive, Arlington, TX representing the developer stated that
the signage is the responsibility of the developer and will be submitted according to the
requirements within the Planned Development and City Sign Code.
There were no further questions or comments presented by the Commission.

Brown seconded the motion. The vote was as follows:

Stephen Cook, Senior Planner, gave a brief description of the case. Mr. Meghdadpour
is the managing partner of the business which specializes in the spraying of textiles,
wood, truck beds and closed cell Styrofoam of waterproofing materials. They also have
the ability to install truck accessories including step bars, grill guards, wind deflectors
and other similar items. The building is an existing 5,000 square foot building which has
previously had an upholstering business and subsequently a landscaping business.
The business has three full time employees and operates typical weekday business
hours of Monday-Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm. The spray lining business produces no
volatile organic compounds which would require a full spray booth. The employees wear
protective respiratory equipment for the polyurethane materials.
Staff recommends approval with the following conditions:
1. The Specific Use Permit is tied to the Managing Partner: Mr. Kaveh Meghdadpour;
and,
2. The Specific Use Permit is tied to the Business Name: Xccessorize Limited, Inc. dba
United Linings and Accessories; and,

6. The Specific Use Permit may be revoked if one or more of the conditions imposed
by this permit has not been met or has been violated.
Commissioner Zahn asked if there were any proponents/opponents. Seeing none, the
public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Portugal asked for clarification on the required training for staff.
Kaveh Meghdadpour, 1108 Westpark Way, Euless, TX 76040, stated that in order to be
a supplier every one of their employees that comes into contact with the spray liner
chemicals and materials must undergo the company mandated safety and handling
training. They are not open to the public, but contracted with local dealerships to install
the bed liner material. For insurance purposes they do not house vehicles on property
overnight.
