House of Paws is seeking renewal of a Specific Use Permit. The company has been operating for many years in the City of Euless at this location.

In the last Specific Use Permit that was approved by the City Council in March 2014, the ownership had changed to Ms. Mathews and Ms. Beall. Also, the business expanded to allow for overnight care (kenneling) of dogs. No more than ten (10) animals are boarded at one time. The company tracks vaccination records for all animals boarding with them. All animals are exercised outdoors on leash and any excrement is immediately picked up and disposed of properly. Since approval of the Specific Use Permit in March 2014, there have not been any code compliance issues with the operation of the business. Staff recommends approval with the following conditions: 1. The Specific Use Permit is tied to the business owners Breanna Matthews and / or Brittney Beall; and, 2. The Specific Use Permit is tied to the Business Name: House of Paws, Euless, LLC; and, 3. All animals shall be kept within clean and safe conditions; and, 4. Tracking of animal vaccinations shall be kept within business records; and, 5.

Euless Boulevard. Stephen Cook, Senior Planner, gave a brief description of the case. Ferguson Plumbing Supply is requesting the consideration of an additional 29,938 square feet of interior storage for their location on W. Euless Boulevard. The new addition would be constructed as an extension to the primary structure. The Planning and Zoning Commission considered a zoning change in March 2015 and recommended approval of a Planned Development zoning to the City Council. The City Council approved the Planned Development on March 24, 2015. Site Conditions: Access to the site will be from the existing drive approach from W. Euless Blvd. The emergency access, drainage and utility easement (EADUE — which serves as fire lanes in Euless) will be modified to provide additional coverage of the building's configuration. Additional parking for the site has been configured based on the footprint of the building and meets Euless standards. Building Elevations — As part of the Planned Development zoning, provisions were put into the ordinance which would allow a modification to the City's masonry requirements for new construction. As the addition to the building is not a primary wall surface, the exterior of the building may be constructed with masonry or other alternate building materials as approved by the Building Official. The proposed additional structure will be a metal sided building with baked in color that will match the existing building façade. The Development Services Group has certified that the site plan is in accordance with the requirements of the City of Euless and the Planned Development Ordinance. There were no questions or comments presented by the Commission. Commissioner Brown made a motion to approve case #14-14-SP. Motion seconded by Commissioner Olmstead.

Airport Freeway. Stephen Cook, Senior Planner, gave a brief description of the case. This site was previously the location of a Whataburger restaurant. After the acquisition of right-of-way for the widening of SH 183, the restaurant closed and the building was razed by the property owners. The site plan proposes a new 2,057 square foot restaurant with drive through. Site Conditions: Jimmy John's is proposing a new 2,057 square foot restaurant. Access to the site will be from the mutual access lane on the south side of the building. This access easement has an existing drive approach from Westpark Way and connects to the other two restaurant sites to the west of this development. Cross access will remain between this lot and the two adjacent lots to the west, and the office property to the south. A drive through lane will be placed on the south side of the building. Parking for the site has been configured based on the footprint of the building and meets Euless standards. Landscaping— The proposed landscaping provides the required mixture and quantity of shrubs and ground cover. Because of the limited amount of space due to the right-of- way acquisition, the total number of provided trees is less than the required number. To offset this, multiple crepe myrtle trees have been planted along the frontage road. Each crepe myrtle (according to ordinance) counts as 1/2 a full size tree. The trees provided will enhance the landscaping on this small lot. Additional landscaping will be provided along the drive through and along the edges of the property. Building Elevations — The Jimmy John's building meets the masonry requirements 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. Vice Chairman Portugal asked for clarification as to the access to the site. Stephen Cook, stated that access to the property from northbound traffic on Westpark Way is provided through cross access easements provided from the property to the south. There were no further questions or comments presented by the Commission. Commissioner Ellis made a motion to approve case #15-01-SP. Motion seconded by Commissioner Dunckel.

Fineline Productions currently operates within two buildings on Regal Parkway, one on the north side (2220) and one on the south side (2221). In recent years, their operation has increased significantly as demand for their products has grown. The company wishes to expand their square footage of production and storage area on an existing lot that they own. The family owned company was founded in 1985.
