ITEM NO. 8. HELD PUBLIC HEARING FOR AMENDMENT TO UNIFIED
DEVELOPMENT CODE NO. 17-02-UDC AND APPROVED FIRST
AND FINAL READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 2157
Mayor Martin opened the public hearing at 7:06 p.m.
Director of Planning and Economic Development Collins presented the item to the City
Council. He advised that the City of Euless is intending to update the Unified
Development Code permitted use table associated with the Texas 121 Gateway Zoning
District (TX-121). The table currently contains a use listed as Beer and Wine Stores only
(Standard Industrial Code 5921), which is allowed through a Specific Use Permit within
the zoning district. The proposed amendment would accomplish three things:
Modify the use listing to: Packaged Alcoholic Beverages (for off-premise
consumption) which is included in the SIC 5921 designation.
• Change the use from requiring a Specific Use Permit to a use permitted by right.
Establish a special condition which requires these types of stores to be 300 feet
away from any church, public school or public hospital.
The modifications would bring the definition to an inclusive standard if at any time in the
future a public referendum would allow the sale of all packaged alcoholic beverages in
the City of Euless. Secondly, the ordinance would treat the stores as any other retail
business in accordance with Texas State Law. The approval of this ordinance would only
affect areas zoned under the TX-121 zoning district and would not affect any other areas
of the City. Additionally, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on
June 20, 2017, and recommended approval of the amendment by a vote of 5-0-0.
Mayor Martin asked to hear from any proponents of the case.
Chris Fields, 901 River Oak Avenue, Euless, inquired about the precise location of the
TX-121 zoning district and clarified that he was in favor of the change in zoning.
Mr. Collins confirmed the location and boundaries of the TX-121 district.
Mayor Martin asked to hear from any opponents of the case. There being none, Mayor
Martin closed the public hearing at 7:13 p.m.
Council Member Stinneford motioned to approve Ordinance No. 2157, amending the City
of Euless Code of Ordinances, Chapter 84, "Unified Development Code," amending TX-
121 Gateway District Use Table, revising the development and land use regulations
applicable to certain stores that sell packaged alcoholic beverages (TX-121 District).

things:

• Change the use from requiring a Specific Use Permit to a use permitted by right in
only the areas designated as the Glade Parks Commercial. In other areas within

future a public referendum allows the sale of all packaged alcoholic beverages in the City
of Euless. Secondly, the ordinance would treat the stores as any other retail business in
accordance with Texas State Law. The approval of this ordinance would only affect areas
that allow commercial development under the Glade Parks Planned Development zoning

signed and recorded allowing for members of the Church of Tonga to legally park at 1002
