Planning & Zoning Commission - Regular Meeting

and zoning commission meeting on May 12th, 2026. And I have to announce the time, it's 6.31. Administrative comments is on there, so I'd like to make a couple before we get started. And the first thing I'd like to do, I came from the aviation world, particularly in the fighter business, where you brief the flight, you did the flight, as anything that you did prior to that, because that's where you talked about unexpected issues, mistakes, and you used that debrief to get better. And so that's the spirit of which I'm going to say the following things. We have... I'm trying to find some notes I can put down here. I might forget something very important. One thing I think I want to re-emphasize, and we talked about this in February when we had our training session, is that we are the face of the city of Keller. In many instances, this is the first time the public comes before the city with whatever issue it is, the applicant. And I think it's incumbent upon us to present the best professional, courteous face we can to those applicants. And so what happened at the end of the last meeting, in the last three minutes, there were several things that were not appropriate. And the first thing that was a major issue was we violated Robert's Rules of Order. Now I've looked this up just to make sure I was somewhere in the ballpark with what I was about to say, but according to the 12th edition of Robert's Rules of Order, newly revised, an item is closed when the chair the decision. Three to two and the motion passes. That's the end of that agenda item. It is not appropriate to go back and make comments of what we just talked about. The time for all of those comments is during discussion and in fact the chair I try to be very clear we have a motion and a second. Is there any further discussion? And that would be the appropriate time to say what you want to say if you want to add something. Because that is the evidence that we as a group are going to use to come to a decision one way or the other. The other thing, and I think we've stressed this, we know that all seven members plus two reserve members were selected by the council because they believe that you or we have good judgment, we can get along with others, have the interest of the city at heart, knowing that we're going to disagree, and in fact, that's probably a healthy thing. If we all came out of here, meeting after meeting, seven, seven, zero, seven, zero, seven, zero, I don't know why we would even bother having a meeting. But it's that discussion of fleshing out that issue of the pros and the cons that I think that the council needs, and that's why we exist, so that we can present to them, this is the best, this is all the background, the staff has given this background, we have asked questions, and the applicant has made his first pitch to the community. And with that, if the council is interested in these three, two, four, three votes, it's kind of a flag for them to say, hey, these guys couldn't come to an agreement that was predominantly one way or the other. So maybe it would behoove me to take a look at that meeting before I ever see it, before it ever gets to the county. So that being said, I want to say one other thing. I think it's inappropriate as commissioners that we say things that are questioning the motives doesn't make us look any more professional. It does no good whatsoever to say things like that. So I thought those last three minutes that we had in that last meeting, we violated that to some degree. And I wanted to not just brush it under the rug, but to approach it. And I'm doing it again as a member of a team here, that the product that we put out to the community is a good product. that we flesh out the issue very well, and when we present it to the council, all of our comments are there for them to see, plus our recommendation. As an appointed board, not an elected representative, they have a totally different role to play in our community than we do. And so, I don't think we have to get too concerned about which way the council is gonna vote. There it is, and our elected representatives will kick it around, and they may actually have data that we're not privy to that would change the vote, maybe something to do with the financing of said project or whatever else. Also, they get much more community input than we do. Absolutely. We might get four emails a year for the community, and they might get four an hour. Right. And I can think of one project we had up on 360, against it and when it got to the council it was parade speaking against it and it was turned down seven to zero even though we had we had a split vote but we had recommended approval but by the time it got to the council it had taken it had legs so anyway those are just things I would ask everybody be cognizant of these think these words I've just said and thinking about before it just comes out. Think about what you're about to say and the parameters that I've just outlined there. So with that, I'd like to move on to the agenda. And administrative comments, please.

Ms. Chiu. Thank you, Chairman. So we had three new business items last week on the City Council agenda that had been before the Commission previously. The first was the accessory dwelling unit at 1710 Shady Grove Road. If you recall, this was a pretty small structure in the back of the house that they're currently building that was approved unanimously. The Skin Loft SUP, this is a medical spa looking to go in at Smithfield Road in North Tarrant that was also approved unanimously. And then Baylor Scott and White coming back through for the second time for the old Petco location over here, that was also approved unanimously.

What would change?

I think the applicant did a little bit, I don't want to say a better job, but they elaborated a little bit more on their analysis and site selection process. The council, of course, I think most of the community would love to see a restaurant in that location or really any location within town center. They were able to show on the property owner side why that site is so problematic for a restaurant. And then Baylor Scott & White in particular was able to show why that location works so well for them and the market analysis and other evaluation they had done going into pinpointing that site as being the best for their operation.

Was there any discussion about the city subsidizing, knowing that that was even though everybody would prefer to see a restaurant there? Was there any discussion about help in the future?

I mean, there's always, I think, some...

It's a tough location.

Right. I don't recall there being any discussion last Tuesday specifically about that site as a candidate for an incentive, but as I've mentioned before, when our economic development team is going after a particular business that we know we want to recruit into Keller, not just anyone that walks in and wants a CEO, but types of businesses that we have been charged by council for going after, incentives are always part of that conversation. But I don't know right now that there's interest from council to do some sort of incentive for that particular location to, you know, because, again, we're talking probably a million or more dollars to put in a commercial kitchen for that property.

We'll probably see more, you know, in that space, or it's probably just something that would be nice to know about. Sure. Thanks. Was that it?

Yes, sir. It was just those three items last week.

Oh, okay. All right. Thank you. Okay, our first agenda, let's say we consider the minutes for the May 12th Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Are there any additions or corrections, questions on the minutes? Pretty straightforward. Item E1 is to consider a request for a specific use permit with a variance for approximately a 1,501 square foot accessory dwelling unit at 1743 Florence, and that's Mrs. Zimmerman.

So this is a SCP for a approximately 1,500 square foot accessory drilling unit with an average height of 17 feet 4 inches. There are three SCP triggers for this structure. The first for the allowance of the ADU, the second for that structure to exceed 1,200 square feet in the SO367 district, and the third to allow the maximum height to exceed 15 feet. With that application, they're also requesting a variance to allow for more than two accessory structures on the property. There are three existing accessory structures, a detached garage, a detached metal shed, and a pool patio. In doing some research on the property, trying to pull permits for that, all of those structures were constructed at least 10 years ago. Records are limited on them, but the applicant will be here this evening if you have any questions about that and why they're requesting the ADU. And then we have not received any public feedback in response to this request. I also did want to note that unlike the other applications that are coming to you this evening, this one will be forwarded to the July 21st City Council due to scheduling conflicts. So when you see that, that's why. The lot is 2.67 acres.

But this one is basically going to be a whole home. It's going to be living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms, living area.

From the floor plan that was provided, yes.

So we don't have anything. an external building that's a guest suite and they're allowed to have a kitchen and a bathroom.

So that's what an accessory development unit is? The difference between a pool house and an ADU is that there's a bedroom and a kitchen in it?

Only because y'all know I lived in Southlake and so they would not allow to have both because it's easier to be rented out as an apartment versus the other. So that's why I'm just verifying here if we've had anything like that.

So what I usually try to how I try to think about it is it's still a single family lot so that structure can operate as an ADU according to the code so it could be a mother-in-law or an immediate family member that resides there permanently an adult child we've seen again an elderly parent things like that in an ADU or it could be guests during Thanksgiving or Christmas or whatever it is, but it can't be rented out as a full home for a separate family because then it's no longer operating as a single family lot. It's all on one lot, so it's still a single family lot. So that ADU has some restrictions in it in terms of how it can operate. The question, of course, is how do you enforce that? And it would really be a matter of, just like anything else, if we got a complaint about somebody renting it out. Honestly, the very few, very few cases we've had like that, it's usually a real estate agent that reports it because they see it on Zillow or something like that where somebody is trying to rent out a separate structure. But fortunately, that's a... that's a less than once a year type of occurrence for us in Keller.

All right, thank you. Let's move on. By the way, these are public hearings, too. Item E2 is to consider a request for a special use permit for a chalk and steel company to operate an indoor entertainment facility.

Thank you. This is a request for Truck and Steel Co. to operate as an indoor entertainment facility at 761 Keller Parkway, unit 104. An SEP is required to operate an indoor entertainment facility in the retail zoning district. The business will operate as a professionally managed billiards, darts, and social venue focused on organized league and tournament play. They will host billiard and dart clinics, summer and winter camps, as well as private lessons. They will also have amateur and professional tournaments and leagues with a heavy amateur focus. Their hours of operation are 2 p.m. to 2 a.m., Monday to Friday, and 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., Saturday and Sunday. And the business employees will consist of 24 with 12 on site during operating hours. The parking requirement for this use of this location is 37 spaces. And there's approximately 50 shared among the lease space at that location. This is a public hearing, so we did mail out letters. However, we have not received any public feedback. And the applicant will be here this evening to answer any questions you guys have. Any questions?

Where is this located? Huckleberry's? Or is that Huckleberry? Keller Parkway by Moreland?

Yes, you're correct.

So in the existing shopping center?

Yes. It's next door to the golf place, correct? It's in the building next to it. Well, that building. Is it the

It used to be Anytime Fitness, and then there's RDA Mart, which I can't remember what type of, it's like beauty supplies. There's a hair salon and Elsa Borg restaurant on the end cap of this building. The building next door is where you have the old Baja Cantina, iFertelli, Orthopedics, and several other tenants.

So this is not on the corner of 1709 and Borland or something? It is not, no.

Senior complexes. No, it's not the senior. It's the duplex. Yeah, the two-story, side-by-side.

What is the legal limit of establishments being open in the city of Keller? Because at 2 a.m.

There isn't one. I mean, we do have businesses that are open 24 hours a day. Not a lot of them, obviously, but a handful. This one backs up to a residential one.

Yeah, it's just, there's concerns about crime and all that kind of stuff.

Okay, let's move on please. Item E3 is public hearing two, consider a request for a special use permit for Alpha and Omega Chiropractic at 121 Vereen Street. And this is Mr. Edelman.

Yeah, so as an SDP request for Alpha and Omega Chiropractic, they do currently operate in Old Town at 252 South Elm Street. They were approved for an SUP there in 2022. They are now proposing to relocate to 121 Marine Street because it's a little bit of a larger space and they intend to increase patient capacity. As a public hearing, we did mail out notices and have not received any public feedback. And the applicant will be here this evening to speak to the request.

Okay, any questions? Okay, item E4 is to consider a request for one variance for one lot in the Highland Terrace mobile home park to reduce the front yard setback to 25 feet at 1756 Highland Drive West. And this is Ms. Zimmerman again.

Yes, so this may look very familiar. In fact, 29 other lots in the same subdivision have received a similar variance. It's to decrease the minimum front yard setback from or 225 feet from the required 35 feet in the SF 36 zoning district. This is not a public hearing, but the applicant will be here this evening if you have any questions.

Okay, and part of that, you gave us a chart, I believe, where we had already done a number of these previously.

Yes.

So it's not like we're cutting new ground here.

Included in the agenda packet was a summary table showing other variances that have been requested for the subdivision and their approval resolutions.

Great. And these can be homes built on former mobile home lots? Yes.

Okay. Any further questions? Okay. Well, we've actually gotten ready for our big meeting. It is now 7.50. 6.50. Okay, it is 7 p.m. Let's call the regular City of Keller Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to order for Tuesday May 12th 2026 and if I say I was looking at, thank you very much, May 26th, to get this started in the right direction. Okay, at this time, I'd like everybody to stand. We'll do the pledges, and Commissioner Scott, if you'll lead us. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible. Thank you. All right. At this time, I'd like the commissioners to introduce yourselves, starting to my far right.

Deborah Johnson.

Bill Slagle.

Erin Farner.

Eric Leist. John Scott. Ross Brensinger.

Andrew Young.

John Baker, your chairman this evening. Now is the time for persons to be heard portion of the meeting. This is a time for the public to address the commission on any subject. However, the Texas Open Meetings Act prohibits the commission from discussing issues with the public that has not been given three days' notice. Issues raised may be referred to city staff for research and possible future action. Each speaker will be allowed three minutes to speak. Now, we do have three public hearings here on your agenda. If you've seen it, it's the first three. So if you're here to speak on those agenda items, you can wait until we bring those forward and we'll have a public hearing at that time. But if there's any other subject you wish to address the commission on now's your time to do it okay seeing no interest let's move to the consent agenda consider the minutes for the may 12th 2026 planning and zoning commission are there any additions or corrections seeing none could i have a motion to approve the consent okay commissioner scott thank you mr chairman i move for the uh minutes to be Approved. Approved. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Commissioner Young?

I second.

Okay. We have a motion and a second to approve the minutes. Any further discussion? With that, let's vote. Okay. That passes 7-0.

Moving on to new business. This is our first public hearing.

is consider a request for a special use permit with a variance for an approximately 1,501-square-foot accessory dwelling unit located on 2.67 acres on the east side of Florence Road, approximately 1,900 feet east of the intersection of Florence and Ottinger, legally described as Lot 1R, Block A of the Anderson Addition Zone, single-family, 36,000-square-foot lot size, And addressed as 1743 Florence Road. This is SCP-2605-0013. And Ms. Zimmerman?

Thank you, Chairman. I have the aerial and zoning maps. The subject property is zoned SF-36. The applicant this evening requests an SUP for an approximately 1,501 square foot accessory dwelling unit with an average height of 17 feet 4 inches. There are three SUP triggers for the structure. The first for the allowance of the ADU. The second for an SUP to construct an accessory structure that exceeds 1,200 square feet in the SF36 zoning district. And the third for the height of that structure to exceed 15 feet. The applicant also requests a variance to allow for more than two accessory structures on the property with this application. The proposed site plan shows that the structure is located behind the front facade of the existing home and is approximately 15 feet from the south side property line. The structure will conform to the setback requirements of the SF 36 zoning district. Also to note, the property owner also owns this property here, but the subject property is this one. The ADU was designed to match the materials of the main home on the property. As I mentioned, the average height of the structure is approximately 17 feet and 4 inches, which we measure from the average of the base plate and the peak of the roof. According to the narrative letters submitted by the applicant, the structure will consist of a living area, kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom and utility area, and a covered porch. There is the proposed floor plan of that structure. There are three existing accessory structures on the property. First is an approximately 705 square foot detached garage. Second, a 362 square foot detached metal shed. And third, a 414 square foot detached pool patio. Now, the UDC does say that only two accessory structures are allowed on lot, so the applicant is requesting a variance with this application. The combined square footage of all accessory structures on the lot, however, is less than 50% of the square footage of the main home, which is approximately 5,995 square feet. On May 14th, we mailed out 15 letters of notification for this public hearing, but staff has received no public feedback in response to this request. Section 8.02 F2A of the UDC states that when considering an SUV, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the following. Whether the use is harmonious and compatible with surrounding existing uses, the activities requested by the applicant are normally associated with permitted uses in the base district, the nature of the use is reasonable and appropriate in the immediate area, any negative impact on the surrounding area has been mitigated, and that any additional conditions specified ensure that the intent of the district purposes are being upheld. Again, the request for you this evening is one, an SUP to construct an ADU in the SF 36 zoning district. Two, an SUP to construct an accessory structure that exceeds 1,200 square feet in that zoning. Three, an SUP for the height of the structure to exceed an average of 15 feet tall. Again, the proposed average height is 17 feet 4 inches. And four, a variance to allow for more than two accessory structures on the property. The commission has the following options when considering this request. Recommend approval as submitted or with modifications. Table or recommend denial. If a recommendation is provided tonight, this application will be forwarded to the July 21st City Council agenda. The applicant is here if you have any questions, as is city staff.

All right, thank you very much. If the applicant is here, do you want to come forward and speak?

I don't think there's, that was a perfect presentation. Thank you. Thank you for your service, by the way.

Just a second. Yeah, I don't think that, I'm sorry. Your name and address, please.

Oh, yes, Jeff Hansen, and my wife April is here, and so are the owners of my general contractor company, Simpson & Gardner.

Okay.

So I don't think that I have anything of substance to add, but we're happy to answer any questions that anybody may have.

Okay, I appreciate that. If you'll... Stay nearby. We may have a few questions for you. Now, this is a public hearing. Is there anybody here who wishes to speak on this particular agenda item? I don't see much interest. And Commissioner Leish?

Move to close the public hearing.

And Commissioner Scott?

Second.

Okay. We have a motion and a second to close the public hearing. Any further discussion? And with that, let's vote. Public hearing is now closed. So at this time, we open it up to the commission if you have any questions or comment. And Commissioner Schlegel.

Thank you, Chairman. Thank you, Chairman. So for the applicant, please. What a beautiful property. I guess just the basic things to exceed 1,200 feet and the maximum height. What's the reason? Can you not build within those parameters?

Yeah, so the height, frankly, there was flexibility on our part. Intentionally, the architect that we use has done a lot of work in Keller for decades. And what he suggested is because of the height of the house, it's more aesthetically pleasing. Frankly, I didn't care if the roof line was shorter, but he said that it would look a lot better and be, again, more aesthetically pleasing for the neighbors. And the square footage?

For the height that he's proposing, it's two feet above what's in the ordinances, but he said he wanted to match the pitch that's on the existing house. But he could change that, but he likes the idea of it matching the pitch. That's why it's so high. That's why it's that height.

Okay, yeah, that makes sense. As far as the amount of structures and what was the third... Yeah, and I think given the size of that lot and that area, those homes in that area, I would definitely, I'd be definitely supporting something like this. I really don't think it matters much. And I think aesthetically, if the contractor is taking into consideration matching the structure already, I think that's commendable. The rest of it I just think is inconsequential. I would definitely support it. Thanks. Thank you. Good luck.

Appreciate that. Thank you very much. Commissioner Scott.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. You both can stay up for you. Thank you for being here tonight. You have a beautiful piece of property. A couple questions. I have three or four, if you don't mind. What is this going to be used for?

Strictly for family.

Strictly for family. You know it's not supposed to rent.

We don't. We would never rent.

Okay. And you're not putting like a two-story because the pitch is just for aesthetics?

100% single story.

The other thing that kind of bothers me is that you're asking for two other variances. It could be a football field, you know, AT&T Stadium in there. You see my point? So what you're asking for on the pool house is okay, but tell me what the other two are for. How big are they and all that stuff?

Point of information.

Oh, are you referring, I'm sorry. Just a quick point of information.

Okay.

I just want to clarify because I think there's only one, is there only one building they're requesting being approved or is there multiple? Because I want to make sure I didn't miss it because I want to make sure I didn't misunderstand the application.

This is the third building on the lot, third accessory building. So that's the fourth?

The three structures that are listed are existing, A, B, and C there. This AB would be the fourth.

Okay. So say it again. I didn't hear it. Sorry. So you're not planning on building anymore?

No, there's just one building, but there were already three additions.

Okay, that wasn't clear. Okay.

Yeah.

Sounds very good. Thank you very much.

Do you want me to explain what the other three are briefly, or are you good?

Yeah, I mean, I just, I saw those, but the way it was worded, to me it sounded like you wanted to put two more,

Oh, thank you. No.

No, just the clarification.

Yeah, just the pool house.

Thank you.

That's my question.

All right. I don't see anybody else wishing to speak. Could we have a motion, please? Commissioner Leist.

Motion to approve item E1 as presented.

All right. Thank you. And Commissioner Schlegel.

I second it.

We have a motion and a second for item E1 as published. And is there any further discussion? With that, let's vote.

Thank you, folks.

Okay, that motion passes 7-0. You folks will go before the City Council on July 21st, and we wish you luck with your project. It's very attractive. Thank you. Thank you. All right, moving on to item E2, which is a public hearing. Consider a request for a special use permit for Chalk and Steel Company to operate an indoor entertainment facility in an existing 7,310 square foot lease space on approximately 1.4 acres located approximately 560 feet northeast of the intersection of Borland and Keller Parkway. Legally described as Block A, Lot 4RA, the Shemwell Edition, zoned retail and address 761 Keller Parkway, Unit 104. This is SUP-2604-0011. And we are now Mr. Flanders.

Thank you, Chairman. Good evening, Commissioners. Aerial and zoning maps before you subject property is zoned retail. The applicant has requested a specific use permit for Chalk and Steel Co. to operate an indoor entertainment facility at 761 Keller Parkway, Unit 104. A little background, the following timeline provides a brief history of the previous tenants for the lease space at this location. In 2010, it was the factory, which was a fitness gym. 2013 was Lolo Fitness, also a fitness gym. And in 2019 was Anytime Fitness that closed down in early of 2025. The applicant is proposing a professionally managed billiards, darts, and social venue. The facility will host organized league and tournament play with controlled beverage service. They have also stated that they intend to host events including billiard and dart clinics, summer and winter camps, and private lessons. And the facility will have a heavy amateur focus. The applicant estimates that the facility will have 24 total employees with 12 on site at a time. Their hours of operation are Monday to Friday, 2 p.m. to 2 a.m., and Saturday to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Here are just a couple renderings provided by the applicant of what the location will look like. Parking requirement for a commercial amusement indoor billiard use is five spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area, bringing the total number of spaces needed to 37 spaces, and there are approximately 50 parking spaces shared among the leased spaces. Subject property is zoned retail and designated retail commercial on the city's future land use plan. To the north is mixed use. To the east is retail commercial and mixed use. To the south, retail commercial, and to the west is mixed use. On May 14th, the city mailed out 38 letters of notification for this public hearing, and staff has received no public feedback in response to this request. Section 8.02, F2A of the UDC states that when considering an SEP request, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the following factors. That the use is harmonious and compatible. The activities requested by the applicant are normally associated with the permitted uses in the base district. The nature of the use is reasonable and appropriate. Any negative impact on the surrounding area has been mitigated. And that any additional conditions specified ensure that the intent of the district purposes are being upheld. Again, the request before you this evening is an SUP to operate an indoor entertainment facility for Steel and Chalk Co. in the retail zoning district. Commission has the following options when considering an SUP request. Recommend approval, recommend approval with modifications, table, or recommend denial. And if a recommendation is provided tonight, this application will be forwarded to the June 16th City Council agenda. And staff and the applicant are here for any questions you got.

All right. Thank you very much. Is the applicant here and wish to add anything? If you come forward. All right. The applicant has shook her head no. I do have one question before we leave this. We see there anytime fitness, is it the entire building? It's not just a portion of that building, standalone building that we're talking about, the 7300 feet or whatever it is?

It's just the lease space that they are hoping to move into. There's three other businesses in this building that will remain. Okay.

All right. Thank you very much. Okay, this is a public hearing. If there's anybody here who wishes to speak on this item, now is your time to come forward. And Commissioner Scott.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I move for a closing of public hearing.

And Commissioner Leist? Second. We have a motion and a second to close the public hearing. Any further discussion? And with that, let's vote. Okay, the public hearing is now closed. At this time, I'm open for questions from the commission and Commissioner Schlegel.

Thank you, Chairman. For staff or the The applicants, it wasn't mentioned in the notes, but I saw what looked to be beer and liquor in the images. My only concern is a two o'clock closing in that residential region. I think it's kind of unprecedented. for Keller in that space, so I think I would look for assurances from you that you've got that policed and protected and from the city that they've got no concern with that same concern.

Yes, so for the 2 a.m. hour, that is actually specifically because of four tournaments that run.

Before we go too far, could you identify yourself? Oh, I'm so sorry.

Yes, I'm Jonna Perrin. This is my father, David Perrin. And we actually live in the Keller area at 9137 Farmer Drive.

Okay, thank you.

So the 2 a.m. hour is simply because we do run tournaments, as mentioned before. The tournaments, they end up dwindling down. It doesn't always go till 2 a.m. It just kind of depends on the tournament, depends on the level of involvement, the people who then sign up for said tournament. And our occupancy lessens as the night goes on. So 2 a.m. is just to facilitate needing to be there. We won't always be open till 2. So to address your question about the alcohol, it is simply there for those that have nerves that want to play in these tournaments. That's why you'll notice on that beverage service area is very small. We are not and do not want to operate as a bar whatsoever. And is it supposed to be serious pool play and taking those things seriously? So eventually by 2 a.m., most of the time, very confidently over 95%, you might only see the champions there at 2 a.m. So two people left, no one else is hanging out.

Thanks. So at midnight or 1, if myself and a bunch of guys want to go play pool, that's not a place we're going to go?

If the tournament is still running and our doors are open, then by all means they will be there. But once the tournament is over... That's about the time we usher everyone back out and say, okay, we're closing for the night.

Okay. Assuming that's how it's said, I appreciate anybody bringing business to the area, especially in vacant buildings. So good luck.

Thank you. All right. Thank you very much. And Commissioner Johnson?

Thank you. My questioning is a little bit along the same lines. I think the facility, as it is appearing in here, does have, I love the way that it looks and the layout and things. But the 2 a.m. is concerning because there is residential behind it, even though it's sometimes. I mean, the thing is, is if we were saying we were closing at midnight. This is for staff. How many operations do we have along 1709 there that stays open till 2 a.m.? Because I'm not aware of any.

We didn't pull that exact number off the top of my head. I cannot think of any other than possibly, it's vacant now, Baja. Our understanding is that it'll be a similar operation just in the building adjacent to this one. But I can't speak to their exact proposed hours for that facility. And like I said, we didn't do a survey of business hours down Keller Parkway for this.

Yeah, and that's a future potential that may be coming before us anyway, so that we would have to look at that. I mean, I could be for this if you were telling me it was going to be a midnight closing. I just don't know that we need 2 a.m. running up and down, especially when directly behind you is residential. So that really does concern me. I do like the idea. I do like the way the facility looks. I do like that you're trying not to make it a full bar because that would even be a different type of setup with the 2 a.m. I do still see that we have drinking and playing and having fun and still potentially putting some drivers on the road that, you know, could be potential. And it is the fact that it's back. It's not in a, you know, over in Old Town where it's not that we have residential. So, you know, I... Would the 12 a.m., I mean, it's midnight, whichever way you want to call it. I don't have too much issue with that, but I don't know that we want to start opening up 2 a.m. in the city.

I think regarding the residential area.

Sir, would you speak into the mic, please?

Regarding the residential area, that's completely behind the building. The building is, back of the building is actually Fenced off so people can't get behind the building itself They would have to scale a fence. I think a six or eight foot tall fence to get into the neighborhood behind us We won't be playing music You know outside outdoors. There won't be any speakers or anything inside. We'll have music, you know like jukebox You know kept it a reasonable volume because the people there play serious billiards. They don't want to be screaming at each other and they don't want to be, don't want to have all this noise going on. And that's, I think will have minimum impact on the residents and minimum impact on the other businesses because most of those will, they close around six o'clock in the evening.

Well, and I think that's a little bit of my point is it's starting to put 2 a.m. traffic up and down 1709, so it's not just the impact that happens in the residential, it's the whole impact to the town and potentially bringing in a lot of businesses that open until 2 a.m. since we're kind of a family-friendly town.

Yeah, and I wanted to address that too, and I love that you brought that up because I had a feeling that was definitely going to be a concern because, you know, 2 a.m. and alcohol, right? So with that being said... The tournaments themselves are mostly on the weekends. So it'd be like a Friday, Saturday, and then Sundays are more or less during the day. So during the week, we fully anticipate closing by midnight, typically. Our leagues very rarely, very, very rarely go past midnight. So the 2 a.m. is just to afford us that buffer. So should we need to provide that to the players, it's available. But what we would commit to the city and to the community is making sure that we are done by the time league and or tournament play is over.

But would you look at potentially doing a Sunday through Thursday till midnight and then only look at the Friday and Saturday night until 2 a.m.? Yeah. Just a thought. Because once again, it's kind of starting to invite that kind of environment into a family-friendly, just my opinion.

Yeah, no, and we talked about that. We're absolutely willing to be flexible on the hours. Absolutely.

Mm-hmm.

All right. Thank you. Commissioner Farner?

So it sounds like you all operate a league currently. Do you all operate here or have you participated? It sounds like you have a lot of knowledge about leagues and tournaments.

My dad doesn't play. So yeah, my husband and I, we actually are captains of a pool team. We've been captains together for five years. That's actually how we met. Yes, so that's how we know the intricacies of it. We are not by any means what's called a league operator, and that would also be a conflict of interest. We wouldn't be able to do that anyhow with owning the facility. So to answer your question, that's how we know so much about it is we are in it. We actually at one point, up until we just had our baby last week, we were playing in four different teams on four different nights. So this is kind of what we live, eat, and breathe is pool.

Well, I congratulate you and I saw the little baby. Thank you. Super sweet back there. So can you tell me a little bit about, it says limited or controlled beverage service. So what does that mean and what would you be serving? And I guess you have a TABC liquor license.

We will be going for one. They said that we're not able to obtain that liquor license until we get keys to the place. So we're waiting on that, obviously, for hopeful city approval. So to answer your question, again, what we're stressing and what we're wanting to do, and to answer that question, I'll be as succinct as possible, is, for example, we know Keller High is behind us. So what we want to do is hopefully eventually start a pool club within the Keller ISD We want to be able to start these summer camps for the kids. We want to incorporate families and start a family league that does not yet exist. So this is a very experimental business that we are taking a risk on here that we cannot have ruined by alcohol. So what we're doing is providing that alcohol for those who have nerves, those who want to do that. So what we are making sure of and are able to tab is essentially how much has that person had at that table, and we're limiting that. So unlike going to a bar where you can possibly lose track of how much that person's been drinking, things of that nature, we already have kind of a system in place that then would go, okay, this person has had two drinks in that hour. We need to say, okay, have some water. And maybe in an hour you can come and have another one. So we will be making sure that drunkenness does not occur.

We also have food service.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. For the people there, you can eat, you don't have to drink. I went to one of their tournaments and I had water the other day. But also in that, of course, all of the people there will be certified by TABC and monitor the people fairly closely. First time I've ever been to league play in my life at a different place and I saw no drunkenness because if you're drunk you can't play pool very good. Those guys are pretty serious about making their points and getting to Vegas because that's where they she can talk to. That's where they play the big games in Vegas. They all play to get there.

And we want this to be a family-friendly environment, right? There's so many other places that might claim to be family-friendly, but then you walk in and it's very much a nightlife. It's very much a bar. We don't want that. We want the families to be comfortable bringing their kids in. And, you know, we also have a seven-year-old and it's something that he wants to be able to come in and play. We can't take him anywhere right now, even to these family-friendly places. So That's what we're aiming for, is something that everyone's comfortable coming to, nothing intimidating, there isn't alcohol that's making a parent uncomfortable, you know, things like that.

If you think about it, my concept, our concept is we're building a bowling alley, but we're not bowling. We're going to go play billiards and we're going to throw darts. That's, you know, that's what we're looking for. I learned how to bowl, not play billiards, when I was in grade school. They took us from school, took us over, and we learned how to bowl. Of course, all the places they serve beer and drinks, we didn't get any because they kind of watched us pretty closely. But that's the idea, the concept that we have, and what we're looking for, the uniqueness of it, is to get—we would love to get kids involved. There are junior leagues that have been involved. They've kind of disbanded because a lot of the places you have to be 21 to go into or over 18 or 18 or older, you can't go into those places. So that's what we're looking to do, hopefully.

So that leads me to my next question is how are you, so have you researched this because it's a little bit of an oxymoron that you want to be family friendly and youth leagues and then we have the alcohol service and I get that it's controlled but That, to me, seems like we're sitting on both sides, right? I know it's not a bar, but I guess that one kind of, you know, seems like we're teetering on the edge of how do I bring in youth and amateur and school-age kids with the bar.

Yes, so he mentioned earlier, and I should have harped strongly on this, so I apologize. We do have that warming kitchen, right? And then we also have, obviously, the non-alcoholic stuff, and that's something we're gonna be pushing for. So we actually have already come up with a lunch special for the kids, having a kid's menu and having something that they're like, oh, we can actually go and maybe have a dinner while the kids are taking their lesson, right? Something the parents can come and hang out during that time. And so we've kind of thought about all of that. And then to your point, like, hey, did you research this? That research comes from feedback. So many people being like, I have nowhere to take my kids. I have nowhere to play. And then like he mentioned, the Junior League did. We used to exist. It was something called APA. And APA is the largest league in the world. They used to have a Junior League. They technically do, but here in the DFW, it completely disbanded because there is no longer an establishment, as he mentioned, that is conducive to minors being in a safe space. And that's why they did away with it. So we want to, we've been talking with them. We are working with APA right now to figure out how do we make that safe. So that's where some of this has come from as well.

Well, I look forward to you coming and having a place that I can go shoo my husband off to on a night of entertainment. Thank you.

All right. Thank you. Commissioner Scott.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you both for being here, but I do have quite a few questions. I think you both get the feeling that we're all residents here and we're all very concerned about crime, drugs, everything else. What is the maximum occupancy of the facility?

So until we have received permits and things of that nature, we are unaware. But what we have preliminarily received from some contractors that we've had come in and talk, we've also come in and had a prior meeting with Justin, who's in building permit, said we're around 250 to 300.

Okay. 24 people working there does sound like a lot. So that's my concerns. Are you planning on having security there all the time?

Oh, well, so with the space, even though we're zoned to have 250 to 300, we're not going to be outfitting the space to have that many people, if that makes sense.

Well, no, my concerns is... because we've all been in different establishments and I've seen outbursts. And so my concerns is, are you gonna have higher security on staff?

This is a great question. We would be willing to definitely consider that if something city would prefer that we have. I'm worried that having security would send the wrong message and that means we're also operating inappropriately if we are requiring that security.

I guess my concern is the touchy-feely, is knowing you have security on the premises tells the bad folks you're not welcome. That's one of my concerns. Two, I do appreciate you saying you have food. Is it a full restaurant or is it just bar food?

No, it's a warming kitchen, so neither. There's this really cool machine. It's hard to explain and articulate. But there's a place where they can have burgers and sandwiches and salads and things like that. So it's not quite a full kitchen, but not bar food where it's just fries and mozzarella sticks.

And you're going to have a full bar, correct? Yes. Okay. And what is your cutoff time for alcohol? Because this is a residential area. So I'm hoping we're going to get a little bit of feedback from you.

Yeah. So great question. So versus most plots would be 2 a.m. Our cutoff would be midnight.

See, I want to hear you say something like that, too. There's other restaurants and bars that go till later. But this is all a big hard for me to swallow because of what I've seen and what I've been in. Now, tell me about your clientele. You're telling me these are professional pool players that are coming there. They're, quote, dressed appropriately and all those kind of things. We're not inviting gangs. We're not doing all those kind of things.

Correct.

These clientele are here for a reason. And you're having tournaments every day?

No, just the weekends.

OK. But league play also goes during the week. How do you explain just like a bowling league?

Yeah, I want to hear you. You know, bowling alleys, we have them everywhere and I'm not concerned. But I do see off duty police working in bowling alleys now because of the number of people and all the alcohol and everything being served. So that's a big concern for me. And moving forward, I really, one, I'd like to hear you say food. Two, I'd like to hear you say midnight. And three, security is going to be a big thing for me.

We do have it in our budget and our payroll. We actually were working all of our payroll today. We have plenty in our budget to be able to accommodate that. So if that's something the city would love to see from us, then by all means, you know, if we can add that added security, let's do it.

Well, I mean, my concern is if I go in there and I see people in suits, but they're not necessarily getting fights and everybody is not drunk and those kind of things, then you can back away. But a Thursday, Friday, Saturday for security until closing, until everybody's gone, I think is my stopping point.

That would be a great idea. So, yeah, let's do it.

So that's something you're agreeable to.

Absolutely, 100%. That actually makes a lot of sense.

I need to hear that answer. Yeah. Okay, so you're agreeable to having the security?

Yes.

Okay, thank you. Thank you, guys. I got to have the touchy-feely. If it was something else, like a restaurant or something, we'd be like, oh, okay.

Yeah.

But it's the other. And it does look very nice. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you.

It gives some people the feeling that we're going to be filming the hustler in there, you know. That's not what we're going for. No, no, no. We're going for a, you know, bright, lit. I've been touring. the local billiard establishments. Couldn't take my granddaughter in two of them, she's 17. One of them she could go in. None of them look anything like what we are putting together. I mean most of them, some of them have been here for years, or not here, Fort Worth for years. You know, they're a little seedy, and some of them are dark, and some of them don't have any windows at all. This is true. The whole front of ours is windows. It'll be lit just like you go into a department store.

Just like in the images.

So no dark corners, nothing like that. No smoking. We won't do that. Just to give you an idea.

All right. Thank you, Commissioner Young.

Yes. Uh, thank you. Um, I guess the one question I have is, is there going to be any outdoor seating, uh, as part of this business? Okay. So there's not going to be any, anybody congregating outside or cause I think for me, that's, I know we've been talking more about the noise factor and whatnot and music. And I think from my vantage point, as long as there's nobody sitting outside, cause as we've talked about, there's that residential neighborhood right behind y'all. Um, no music playing outside, nobody congregating outside, where you could get some loud conversations that might bleed across the wall or disturb your adjacent neighbors. That's kind of mostly my concern. Otherwise, I'm generally on board with this. I think this is great. I do like the layout you have, and I think the renderings look really nice, so I'm generally supportive of it. Thank you.

Thank you. And I would like to, if you don't mind, make comment because I know something that a couple of y'all mentioned over here is the back of that building is HVAC and plumbing and all of that back there. So we cannot allow anyone and none of the businesses are allowed public or to allow the public back there either due to safety and all of that. So there would never be anything touching or being near those duplexes that are back there. On the side, it is very near to the aha spot as well, so there's no congregating either.

Is it paved back there?

Barely, just enough to fit the AC units on it, and that's it. And then it's very uneven and kind of unsafe.

So there really wouldn't be any reason for somebody to wander back there or people to hang out back there?

They can't wander back there. On the end of the building, going back to the fence that's in the neighborhood, there's a wrought iron fence with a gate, It's chained. Yes. So no one will be able to go around there and get behind the building at all.

That's a good point. Only the tenants have keys to that chain.

Okay. Thank you.

All right. Thank you. Commissioner Leish?

I think all I really have to say is, are we not all aware of the caliber of disaster indicated by the presence of a pool table in our community? No one laughed. That's from the music man. No, I think this is a great... broadway well great well so i think this is a really exciting um i think this is a really exciting uh application quick for staff could we get the zoning map up for this project awesome um so i looking at this a couple things i heard my fellow commissioners say um uh And I think it's right to point out that this is in a residential area. I don't think that's necessarily completely true. I think it backs up to a residential area, but I believe this is on commercial or retail. Is that correct?

Retail.

Okay. And in a residential neighborhood, would we allow a billiards operation at all? Is that even allowed by SEP in residential?

Certainly not.

Okay. But in retail and commercial, we allow that with an SEP?

I'd have to check the commercial zoning, but the way the kind of, for lack of a better term, pyramid scheme is applied to the zoning, anything that is allowed in retail with the same conditions is typically allowed in commercial.

Got it. Thank you. Yeah, so I think where I start is you are asking to put a business on the use chart in an area where it is on the use chart and it requires an SCP. It's not by right, it's not like a, I mean, there's plenty of things that you can open up by right in that place, but a bill you're, place isn't one of them so i think i think you've picked an appropriate spot is where i wanted to start i don't have an issue with where this is um i think that um i think it's i think backing up to that part of town in the residential neighborhood is fine i mean it's even set back pretty far from the fence for me um it's got a great parking lot it's well parked um so i think from that standpoint I'm okay with where you're proposing because certainly there's other buildings that are open for lease right now Like you could have asked what you were talking in pre-meeting about the old Petco Well, you could have pitched it to go in there, too Which might be actually great because it's there's a lot of more traffic and it's more visible, but the rents probably substantially higher So love love the location so Number two, I do get the concern about the hours, but I think that, and I had to check myself on this, it's why it reminded me of that line from The Music Man is because I think we all hear pool and we think of movies from like the 30s where it's mobsters with Tommy guns in basements and like whoever, like you better pay the bookie or you're gonna get found. One, it doesn't sound like what you're proposing, right? Any gambling going on?

Nope.

No, it doesn't sound like it. Two, the way it is lit and the designs you have feel very high-end. It feels very nice, nice finish. And then when I was thinking about family-friendly, because that's a really important part of our community, right? Keller is Texas' most family-friendly city. City Council has been really diving into that over the last seven or eight years. And when I was thinking of other family-friendly establishments, I thought of like Main Event, and Main Event has pool, they have laser tag, they have video games, and my kids and I go there all the time because we play the Mario Kart video games. It's very fun. But they also serve alcohol, and I still think it's a family-friendly place. They don't serve my five- and seven-year-old alcohol, so we're okay. And it sounds like you're also not going to do that. And same thing with, like, Keller Movie House and Eatery, right? Family-friendly. You go watch a movie. They don't serve the kids the back side of the menu. They just get the front side of the menu. So I think that from that standpoint, I trust a business coming to Keller, and especially, like, I love that you're Keller residents and that you want to start your business here because you could certainly go anywhere else, I think this business would do great in Alliance. Think of how much foot traffic there is in Alliance Town Center. But you want to do it here. I think that's commendable. So for those reasons, I'm very supportive. I don't see an issue with the going until 2 a.m. because, I mean, it just sounds like everything's winding up. We're not going to be – this isn't like we're having the Keller high school football game end at 2 a.m. It's going to be a traffic surge on the roads. It's going to be a couple folks, right, wrapping up at the end. Correct. It doesn't sound like it's going to be loud. It doesn't sound like it's going to be a security issue. So from that standpoint, I mean, I'm very supportive. I will be a hearty yes vote. I'm really glad that you chose Keller for this business. And thank you for coming here.

Thank you. And I would like to address what you said. And being backed up to that neighborhood, we had it in our SUP narrative when we sent it out to the community as well, was we are welcoming them in. We want those people in 680, 690, 692 to come in and be like, this is my place. This is where I want to go. I want them to complain and wish that they could open the gate so it would make it easier to come over so they don't have to drive all the way around. Genuinely, that's what we want is them to be like, wow, we have a spot that's 30 seconds away from the house.

I don't know if you know it. We sent out our own notice letter. as well, to tell everybody what was going to be going on. So they didn't just get yours, they got ours, saying this is who we are, this is what we're doing.

Cell phone numbers, everything, like, hey, just come talk to us, right? And we intend to... market that way and say, hey, we want your kids here. We want to teach your kids. We want to teach your grandma and grandpa. We will have senior leagues as well, you know. So from everybody, I forgot which company does this, but from zero to 99, right, come in and shoot pool, right, 99 plus, but yeah.

All right. Thank you.

Nothing else?

Well, I could, but. Do you folks want to speak again? Is that what you're asking? Okay, I wasn't sure that I hadn't cleared the queue here properly. I don't have to speak last because I do have two questions and I may have missed it in the testimony here. The photographs that we saw, were those AI generated or are those actual photographs?

So they're actually photographs of the space itself and then AI added into it.

Okay, that's your intention to...

Correct.

That's the design.

Yes. So that one, I do want to point out, and one of them, because AI is not perfect, and the one that you see, the dart room inside, they're showing a wall with a bar in it. That's not accurate. That should just be a brick wall that's right there on the far end because the service area, the bar is very small off in the front. So in a way from play area. And that is more properly represented in that drawing that I created for the floor plan.

And our bar will seat actually about 10 people. That's how long it's going to be.

It's very small.

Like 18, 20 feet.

And I may have missed it also in testimony. Are there other locations? Do you guys have other locations? Or is this your first attempt?

This is our first.

And you're modeling after what you've seen in Las Vegas and other locations?

Modeling against what we see and have experienced.

Here, in the area. I was kind of shocked. I don't go to pools.

The Vegas comment was just to say that these tournaments are so serious that the world championships are actually played in Vegas.

Well, I am in support of this. I think it's a great concept for family-oriented entertainment, even if it is pooled. So with that, I'll conclude my remarks, and Commissioner Johnson.

Yeah, I had thought about this after. I would have thought about it before, but it was from some comments, especially about the potential of trying to bring in the younger crowd and things. Would there potentially be bar service when you would be having the daytime younger crowds and trying to? That's what I wanted clarified for the public. No, ma'am. Sometimes I ask questions for the public.

Oh, that's a great question.

So that they can understand that we're not talking about bringing that in.

So during the summer clinics, winter clinics, you know, the summer camps we put on for the kids, it will be just for the kids and their families that are allowed in. It will not be outside patronage. And so, therefore, alcohol service, even to the parents, will be cut off. It will not be allowed. And that's for the safety of the kids, too. We don't want, you know, kids being driven home by alcohol. a parent who made the wrong decision.

And then, um, drive by Andy's and Cain's and stuff at 10 o'clock at night with the teenagers, just so you can observe how they do hang out outside.

Yeah. Just a little, my daughter used to work at Andy's. Yeah. So you know what I'm talking about?

You don't have outside facilities serve them like they do, but yeah. Um, and the other was, um, Oh, on the food service. So basically what I'm hearing, cause I think I know the, uh, I'm a nutritionist by trade. But I think that you're talking about where they're already the pre-made things and you're basically doing the heating there. So we're not going to have a full-blown kitchen. We're going to be doing any kind of cooking. It's literally going to come in. They're already going to be technically prepared and you're just going to be warming them, correct?

Correct.

Yeah, because I wanted the public to understand that because we've said restaurant a couple of times and it's not quite restaurant.

You have to say we're not to be considered.

So thank you for the clarifications. I appreciate it.

Absolutely.

All right. Thank you. Commissioner Schlegel.

Thank you, Chairman. Yeah, just to clarify, I had no misconception that this was a residential neighborhood. Our concern was in proximity, and you've already addressed that. Of course, you're going to reach out to them. This part, maybe you're going to take this as a stereotypical old man, but I'm glad you're, of course, there's no smoking inside. Smoking and pool seem to go hand in hand. You talked about places you wouldn't take your granddaughter. So please, just please keep an eye on the outside of that place and make it welcoming to a family-friendly audience because you know how that is when you walk in a place that all your smokers are out in front. Just, yeah, please keep an eye on that. Thank you. Good luck. I think it's going to be wonderful.

Yeah, and we actually tackled that together as well. We're not even going to provide cigarette receptacles or anything like that because that would just encourage the smoking, right? So that's not going to be something, and we do plan on telling them for us, it's, hey, go smoke out at your car or go somewhere else, but do not smoke in front of our business.

We're going to post signs out. There's brick columns out there, and they'll be posted, no smoking. I hate that. I saw that in front of a couple of places where you had six or eight people standing there right by the door smoking. I'm like, really?

Yeah. Funny enough, it was actually, there's a place called, and it's not by any means to belittle the business. That's actually where we play our league out of. It's called Wise Guys. And it's based off of the 1930s, you know, the mobsters and the rat pack. So there is smoking that goes on outside. And it is very off-putting because they have to smoke outside, but you have to go through them to get inside.

All right.

We do not want that.

Thank you very much. All right. At this time, we have, I believe a motion. Commissioner Lys?

Move to approve item E2 as presented.

And Commissioner Farner? I second. Okay, we have a motion to approve as presented and a second. Any further discussion? All right, let's take a vote. All right, that passes 7 to 0. Thank you very much. And we appreciate your energetic vetting of the subject. And you will go before the city council, let me get this correct, on June 16. So we wish you well. Thank you. All right, item E3, public hearing This is to consider a request for a special use permit for Alpha and Omega Chiropractic to operate a chiropractic office in an existing 1,992 square foot building on approximately 0.32 acres located on the north side of Lorraine Street, approximately 225 feet east of North Main and Lorraine Street intersection. It is zone Old Town Keller and addresses 121 Lorraine, The SUP-2605-0012. Thank you, Chairman.

I have the aerial and zoning maps shown here. Subject property is zoned Old Town Killer. Alpha and Omega Chiropractic currently operates at 252 South Elm Street, where they were previously approved for an SUP in 2022. They are now looking to relocate their office to an existing building located at 121 Lorain Street. Chiropractic practices are considered medical uses and fall under medical office in the UDC. The office will occupy an existing building that is approximately 1,992 square feet. The applicant intends to remodel the interior space but no exterior modifications have been proposed. And the UDC parking requirement for a medical or dental office is one space per 200 square feet of gross floor area, which would bring the requirement for this property to 10 spaces. There are currently six public parking spaces adjacent to the property on Lorraine Street and a driveway that may be used for additional parking space. This timeline just provides a brief history of the previous tenants of the space or owners of the space. In 2014, CO was issued for Stomp Music Studio, and then in 2016 for Houghton Horns. So Alpha and Omega Chiropractic offers services including chiropractic evaluations, gentle spinal adjustments, and ongoing wellness care. The applicant has also stated that they intend to design the space to be supportive of complementary services that may include massage therapy, lactation consulting, and ultrasound services. All services will be by appointment only. The proposed hours of operation are Monday and Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Then on Friday, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. You see the proposed floor plan provided by the applicant there. The subject property is zoned Old Town Keller and designated retail commercial in the city's future land use plan. The properties to the north, south, and west are also designated retail commercial, and then the properties to the east, high-density single family. May 14th, we mail out 27 letters of notification to all property owners within 300 feet of the subject site. And we have not received any public feedback in response. Quick reminder of the UDC factors to consider when hearing an SUP request. That was read previously. And again, the request before you is for a specific use permit to operate a medical office in the Old Town Keller Zoning District. And the commission has the following options when considering this request. Recommend approval as submitted. Recommend approval with modifications or additional conditions. Table the item or recommend denial and if a recommendation is provided tonight the application will be forwarded to the June 16th City Council agenda If you have any questions staff and the applicant are available All right, thank you very much It does the if the applicant is here does the applicant wish to add anything?

Okay, welcome. And if your name and address, please.

Hi, I'm Dr. Hannah Trawick. And this is? I'm Morgan Thompson. We're the chiropractors in Alpha and Omega Chiropractic. And as it was presented, we've been operating in Old Town for the last four years. And luckily, we've just been very blessed to need a little bit bigger of a space. We specialize in prenatal and pediatric care. And so that's why you saw massage therapy, lactation, counseling, and ultrasound services as potential other services.

Did you need our address, our home address? Did we miss that?

Pardon me?

Did you ask for our home address as well? Did you ask for our home address as well? Yes, please. Okay. My home address is 13172 Palancard Drive. It's either Keller or Fort Worth, depending on who you talk to.

All right. Thank you.

And I'm in 2344 Moccasin Lane in Fort Worth, right, like in the Alliance area.

All right. Thank you very much. If you folks would stay close by, we may have some questions for you. And with that, this is a public hearing. If there's anybody here that would like to speak of this issue, now is your time to come forward. And seeing not much interest, Commissioner Scott.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Move for a close to public hearing.

And Commissioner Farner. I second. We have a motion and a second to close public hearing. And any further discussion? And with that, let's vote. Okay, the public hearing is now closed. And we're open for questions from the commission. Okay, Commissioner Johnson.

I was looking on the map and there are talks about future expansion in the back part of the property. Do you have any ideas of what that might be? Is it going to be continuing the chiropractic or is it going to be adding new services or do you have any speculation for the public to know?

Yeah, for sure. The current owners had gotten that approved previously. We don't really know what they intended, but yeah, we don't intend.

We don't have any current plans to build on that space.

So are you purchasing then the property or are you leasing the property?

Purchasing.

Purchasing. Okay. And she, I think that Sarah had mentioned you're planning on having some people park in the parking lot. Is that, I mean, the driveway, is that mostly the people that are working there or?

The people that are working there and then any additional.

That maybe you need that just in case.

Anybody who would need to park there.

Okay. And so I think the public would be really interested in some of the services that are different than chiropractic because you're talking about lactation and it seems like you're, gearing towards chiropractic for potentially pediatric or younger people. So I think that that's good. I don't know if you want to talk any more about that. But are there going to be special rooms for the lactation? Because I didn't see that on the drawing plans.

Yes, so lactation will have their own private space. We are not certified lactation consultants, and so that service would not be provided by us. It would be somebody else's business coming in to rent out that room to provide those services.

It would be similar then to the massage space, I'm assuming. Yes, yes, yes. And then the ultrasound, I'm assuming y'all aren't trained in running ultrasound. Correct. Okay. Thank you so much for your clarifications.

All right. Thank you. All right. I'm prepared to make a motion. Commissioner Weiss?

I was intending to second your motion.

Okay, once you make it Few technical for good operations Okay, we have a motion and a second as Presented for item e3. Is there any further discussion?

I just want to clarify point order. Was there a motion made I Didn't sorry. I didn't hear a motion. I

I made a motion to approve item E3.

Okay. And second that.

All right. So is there any further discussion? All right. All those in favor, take a vote, please. All right. That motion passes 7-0. And congratulations. You'll be before the council on June 16th. Wish you well. All right, that brings us to our last agenda item, which is to consider item E4, consider one variance request for one lot in the Highland Terrace Mobile Home Park to reduce the front yard setback to 25 feet in lieu of the required 35 feet on the property legally described as lot 15 of the Highland Terrace Mobile Home Park. Situated on the south side of Highland Drive West, it's zoned single family 36,000. or greater, and the address is 1756 Highland Drive West, UDC-2605-0002. And Ms. Zimmerman.

Thank you again. I have the aerial and zoning map. The subject property is zoned SF36. A little bit of a refresher on the background of this Highland Terrace mobile home park was plotted in 1970 and annexed into Keller in the late 1980s. During that time it was practiced to zone the property SF 36. Variances identical to those requested by the applicant this evening have been approved by the City Council for 29 other lots in the same subdivision. And I did provide a table in the staff attachment that shows those variances and the approval ordinances if you're interested. So the variance requested this evening is to decrease the minimum front yard setback from the required 35 feet in SF 36 to 25 feet. I also have a comparison table of some of the other zoning districts, including SF 12, SF 10, and SF 8.4. The subject property is approximately 7,480 square feet. The applicant did also provide a site plan showing that their proposed home on the lot. I will make an amendment to the comment made in the pre-meeting. They are proposing to replace the existing mobile home on the property with a newer model, which is allowed. So that's shown there on the site plan showing that they did need that reduced front setback in order to fit the home on the lot. A UDC variance application does not require a public hearing, but the public did have the opportunity to speak on this agenda item during persons to be heard. Section 2.07 of the UDC lists the criteria for approval of a variance that the Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider. That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public. That the granting of the variance will not have the effect of preventing the orderly subdivision of other lands in the area. that the granting of the variance will not constitute a violation of any other valid ordinance in the city, and that strict compliance with the regulations and or that the purpose of the regulations will be served to a greater extent by the alternative proposal. The Planning and Zoning Commission has the following options when considering this variance application. Recommend approval as submitted or with modifications. Table or recommend denial. If a recommendation is provided tonight, this application will be forwarded to City Council on June 16th. The property owners are here if you have any questions, as well as city staff.

All right, thank you. If the applicant is here, do you wish to add anything to the presentation? All right, thank you very much. Item E4 is not a public hearing, so I'm open for comments from the questions from the commission. And seeing none, Commissioner Farner?

I move that we accept item E4 as presented.

All right, thank you. And Commissioner Johnson?

Second.

Okay, we have a motion and a second to approve item E4 as presented. Is there any further discussion? And seeing none, let's vote. Okay, that motion passes four to three. All right, we've completed our agenda for this evening. And so with that, we're going to adjourn.

Chairman, can we get clarification on the vote? Because we're showing unanimous on this one.

Pardon me?

So the system is showing a unanimous recommendation for approval, but I think what you just said was four to three.

If I said that, that was a misstatement. It's 7-0. Okay. All right. Thank you very much. Okay. With that, we've completed our agenda, so we are adjourned at 8.07.
