Chairman McNeese opened the public hearing.
Stephen Cook, Senior Planner, gave a brief description of the case. The applicant,
Patriot Motor Company, represented by the company's owner Mr. Wade Delk, is
requesting approval of a Specific Use Permit for an appointment based motor vehicle
dealership to be located at 1361 W Euless Boulevard within a leased space. The
subject property is currently zoned "C-2" Commercial District. The Unified Development
Code requires a motor vehicle dealership located in C-2 zoning district to have a
Specific Use Permit and that the minimum area devoted to the sale of new or used
vehicles is not less than five (5) acres. An exception to this minimum standard may be
recommended by the P&Z and approved by the City Council through the SUP. Mr. Delk
is proposing to occupy approximately 2,100 sqft. of which 110 sqft would be used as an
office and the remainder as storage for the vehicles. Patriot Motor Company would
intend to sell the vehicles online and only utilize the interior leased space as storage for
the vehicle inventory. No vehicles would be stored outside of the leased space. No
major mechanical work would be performed on the premises.
Stephen Cook stated the applicant, Wade Delk, was available for any questions.
Chairman McNeese asked for any proponents/opponents to come forward for any
comments. Seeing none the public hearing was closed.
