REQUEST OF THE CITY OF EULESS FOR CHANGE OF ZONING FROM "R-4" MULTI- FAMILY: LIMIT OF SIXTEEN UNITS PER ACRE TO "R-1" SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ON LOTS 1-36, BLOCK 1 AND LOTS 1-29, BLOCK 2, WESTPARK WAY ESTATES LOCATED NORTH OF WEST PIPELINE, WEST OF WEST- PARK WAY, AND SOUTH OF THE CITY OF EULESS WEST PARK Chairman Tyson declared the public hearing open. Mr. Barnes stated the City is initiating the change of zoning on what is known as Westpark Way Estates to prevent any potential problems on the property and to have the zoning map reflect the actual use of the property. "R-4" zoning as the property is currently zoned, would allow such uses as day nurseries and doctors' offices in a private residence. The plat has been filed, the streets are in, and construction of houses is ready to begin. 41) Chairman Tyson asked the status of Westpark Way. Mr. Barnes stated the City, in conjunc- tion with the county, is resurfacing the portion of Westpark Way south of Park- wood Addition. The improved section through Parkwood Addition is about 30% complete. It should be finished by late summer. Mrs. Lightbody asked the zoning of the property to the east. Mr. Barnes stated it is zoned "R-1". Chairman Tyson asked if there were any other questions. There were none. He asked if there were any opponents. There were none. Chairman Tyson declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Jones made a motion to recommend approval of change of zoning from "R-4" Multi-Family: Limit of Sixteen Units Per Acre to "R-1" Single Family Residential on Lots 1-36, Block 1 , and Lots 1-29, Block 2, Westpark Way Estates, as requested.

Mr. Stits stated he is representing Herrick and Campbell and Western 6 Motels in their request for change of zoning. The zoning change is necessary to allow the construction of a motel , which will 41) have approximately 126 units. Chairman Tyson inquired about the con- struction time table. Mr. Stits stated they intend to begin construction as soon as possible. It will , however, take about three weeks to complete the necessary drawings which will then have to be approved. Mr. Jones asked if the proposed motel would be similar to the Western 6 motel located in Irving on Loop 12. Mr. Stits stated it would be. However, the motel in Irving has only about 76 units. They also have a motel in North Richland Hills which has just under 100 units. Mr. Munir asked if they plan to build a restaurant in conjunction with the motel . Mr. Stits stated they do not; they are not in the restaurant business. However, they hope to influence a coffee shop to locate nearby. Mr. Adams asked if the homes adjoining the subject property to the north are rental units. Mr. Barnes stated that only one of the homes is owner-occupied. Chairman Tyson asked if any of the property owners which were notified of the zoning request had responded. (Page Four, Regular Meeting, Planning and Zoning Commission, April 3, 1979) Mr. Barnes stated the majority of the property is owned by Mr. Troy Fuller, who is present. There was no response from the remaining owners. Chairman Tyson asked Mr. Fuller if he was in favor of the zoning request. Mr. Fuller stated he was. Chairman Tyson stated the plans indi- cate 131 parking spaces, which does not meet the parking requirements for 126 units. Mr. Stits stated they are aware of this. They plan to submit a request for a variance to the parking requirement after the zoning change is approved. Chairman Tyson asked if there were any other proponents. There were none. He asked if there were any opponents. There were none.
