HELD A PUBLIC HEARING FOR SPECIFIC USE PERMIT NO. 17-10-SUP AND RECOMMENDED AN ORDINANCE Chairman McNeese opened the public hearing on Specific Use Permit Case No. 17-10- SUP at 6:36 PM. Senior Planner Stephen Cook gave a brief description of the case. A new ownership group purchased the sports arena complex located at 100 E. Midway Drive and is operating the facility as the North Texas Event Center. The facility is focused primarily now on volleyball rather than soccer sports.The owners have leased the restaurant space inside the facility to Mr. Saul Cruz, owner of Pepe's Pizza. Pepe's Pizza was issued a Certificate of Occupancy in July. However, Mr. Cruz has now decided he wants to offer beer and wine service within the Pizza restaurant. The Planned Development zoning of the property has allowed the sports arena and restaurant uses prior to the current ownership. A series of Specific Use Permits has also been issued to previous ownerships for the sale of alcohol within the facility. If approved, Mr. Cruz will be required to obtain the appropriate permits from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission and the City of Euless. He states that alcohol will be sold in the restaurant area only, and no consumption will be allowed within the bleachers of the arenas or within the outdoor patio area adjacent to the facility. Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 8 October 17, 2017 The Development Services Group has certified the application and recommends the following conditions of the Specific Use Permit: a. Tied to owner of the assembly use Mr. Saul Cruz and, b. Tied to the organization name Pepe's Pizza; and, c. Alcohol sales and consumption shall not be allowed exterior to the primary restaurant area. This includes areas within the parking lot, bleacher areas of the arenas, or any exterior patio areas; and, d. 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. The owner of the North Texas Event Center, Kevin Anderson, 100 E. Midway Drive spoke in favor of the Specific Use Permit. He clarified for the Commission that Pepe's Pizza is more than just a concession stand area, that it is a full enclosed restaurant within the building. Seeing no other proponents or opponents, Chairman McNeese closed the public hearing at 6:39 PM. Chairman McNeese asked is there a ratio set up of alcohol sales for restaurant. Mr. Collins stated that the act of the Specific Use Permit for alcohol sales in this location is the same as the difference between an eating establishment and drinking establishment in the rest of the City. Approving the SUP would accomplish the same ideals. Vice Chairman Portugal made a motion to approve Case No. 17-10-SUP for a Specific 9 pp p Use Permit on Somerset Place Addition, Block C, Lot 27ER, 100 E. Midway Drive for Eating Establishment with Alcohol Sales in a Planned Development Zoning District (PD) with the conditions as presented. Commissioner Ellis seconded the motion.

Nays: None Abstention: None Chairman McNeese declared the motion carried. (7-0-0) ITEM 3. HELD A PUBLIC HEARING FOR SPECIFIC USE PERMIT NO. 17-13-SUP AND RECOMMENDED AN ORDINANCE Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 8 October 17, 2017 Chairman McNeese opened the public hearing on Specific Use Permit Case No. 17-13- SUP at 6:40 PM. Senior Planner Stephen Cook gave a brief description of the case. The Texas Highway 10 zoning district requires a Specific Use Permit for all places of worship. The congregation Iglesia Pentecostal Unida Hispana Inc. has leased 1800 SF at 820 Wilshire Drive. The building meets all code requirements to be used for an assembly use. The site contains twenty-eight (28) marked parking spaces. Vehicle access to the site is provided from Wilshire Drive. This congregation had previously occupied this space. With their small number of members, there is adequate on-site parking. Just as was done in the previous Specific Use Permit, an off-site parking agreement has been made with the owner of Adam's Automotive that will provide twelve (12) additional parking spaces at times of worship to meet additional demand for parking. This type of cross parking agreement is allowed within the same zoning district within 300 feet of the subject parcel. A Specific Use Permit was approved in August for the Tongan Meeting Hall to occupy space in Suite D of this building. Staff has met specifically with the property owner about the parking situation with two assembly uses sharing the same building. He stated that parking demand between the two groups is predominately at differing times. The Tongan Meeting Hall usually does not meet until after 10pm, as was stated in the Public Hearings held to consider their Specific Use Permit. The place of worship will have some evening classes for their community, but will conclude their activity and be off the property before 10pm. The Development Services Group has reviewed and certified the application for a Specific Use Permit. Staff recommends approval with the following conditions: a. Tied to the church pastor, Julio C Mazariego b. Tied to the church name: Iglesia Pentecostal Unida Hispana Inc and, c. No parking will be allowed on any unimproved surface; and, d. 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. Seeing no proponents or opponents, Chairman McNeese closed the public hearing at 6:43 PM. Vice Chairman, Portugal asked if there were specific hours for the church's activities as no specific end time was provided. Mr. Cook stated that in discussions with the property owner, the church's activities usually end around 9:00 PM, Commissioner Owens made a motion to approve Case No. 17-13-SUP for a Specific Use Permit on Oakwood Terrace North Addition Block 16, Lot Al Al, 820 Wilshire Drive, Suite B for a Place of Worship in Texas Highway 10 Multi-Use District (TX-10) with the conditions as presented.

Commissioner Olmstead asked the applicant to come to the podium and asked the applicant how soon would the business begin. Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 6 of 8 October 17, 2017 Applicant Michael Melton, 4204 Cummings Drive, North Richland Hills, Texas stated that they intended for the business to begin the first couple of weeks in November. Commissioner Ellis asked who is the business owner, Mr. Melton responded that the owner is his daughter, Tatyana Lopez and she will run the business.

RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF SITE PLAN NO. 17-08-SUP Senior Planner Stephen Cook gave a brief description of the case. The Glade Parks Lifestyle Center/Public Plaza Site Plan was approved in 2015 and modified through the Aloft Hotel SUP. With construction of the Lifestyle Center well underway, a tenant in one of the leased buildings, Building J, requires additional square footage than previously designed. The square footage of this building is increased from 8,800 to 13,900. The square footage is added to the southern portion of the building. The tenant is Old Navy. Increasing the footprint of the building created subsequent affects that requires the Lifestyle Center/ Public Plaza site plan to be amended. • The Emergency Access, Drainage and Utility Easement (EADUE — Fire Lane) has been modified on the south side of the building. The Fire Marshal and the site engineer have worked extensively to show a modification of the EADUE that will accommodate the turning movements of City of Euless fire apparatus and continue to provide appropriate distance and spacing requirements. • Parking is modified on the south side of the building. There are fewer spaces (21) indicated to be constructed on the south side of Building J than had been approved with the Lifestyle Center/Public Plaza site plan. Building J had been contemplated as restaurant space, but will now be retail. The ratio of parking spaces for retail square footage is less than that of restaurants. Therefore, there is adequate parking to support the development. Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 7 of 8 October 17, 2017 The external design features of Building J will match the already constructed buildings of the Lifestyle Center. A secondary entrance has been created on the south side of the building. The Development Services Group has reviewed the site plan and has found that it is in substantial accordance with the Planned Development ordinance and City of Euless standards. Commissioner Ellis made a motion to approve Case No. 17-08-SP for a Site Plan for Commercial development proposed to be located on Glade Parks, Block K, Lots 4R and 5, 2601 Rio Grande Boulevard. Commissioner Dunckel seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: Ayes: Chairman McNeese, Vice Chairman, Portugal and Commission Members: Owens, Olmstead, Dunckel, Ellis, and Wilson. Nays: None Abstention: None Chairman McNeese declared the motion carried. (7-0-0) ITEM 6. APPROVED PRELIMINARY PLAT NO. 17-08-SUP Senior Planner Stephen Cook gave a brief description of the case. The applicant proposes to preliminary plat the above described property for a seven (7) lot single family residential development which will be in compliance with uses as described in the Planned Development zoning district. Previously platted as single family lots and developed as multifamily dwellings the parcels are to be redeveloped and re-platted in order to meet current design standards which are familiar with appropriate infrastructure placement and the product that Bloomfield Homes constructs. The Development Services Group has reviewed the proposed Preliminary Plat and has certified that it meets the technical standards of the City of Euless. Staff recommends approval. Commissioner Owens made a motion to approve Case No. 17-02-PP for a Preliminary Plat of 1.085 acres of the A. J. Huitt Survey, Abstract No. 709, Platted as Oak Crest Estates Addition Block 1, Lots 1 R and 2R1, Block 2, Lots 1 R, 2RA1, and 2RA2 to be replatted as Oak Crest Estates Phase 2, Block D, Lots 1-3 and Block E, Lots 20-23 located in the 200 block of Dickey Drive.
