Continued Public Hearing: Consideration of an Ordinance of the Lewisville City Council, Amending the Zoning Ordinance by Granting a Special Use Permit for Smoking Establishment on a Portion of an Approximately 1.828-Acre Tract Legally Described as Highpoint Oaks Addition, Lot 3R1, Block C, Located at 2680 Denton Tap Road, and Zoned Light Industrial (LI) District; Providing for a Savings Clause, Repealer, Severability, Penalty, and an Effective Date, as Requested by Naheed Vellani and Irfan Shah, the Applicants, on Behalf of Hilltop Corner LLC, the Property Owner (Case No. 26-05-8-SUP).

Marhaba Lounge is a proposed 1,765 square-foot hookah lounge to be located within a portion of an existing shopping center on the site. The business will operate from 11:00 am to midnight Sunday through Thursday, and 11:00 am through 2:00 am Friday and Saturday. In addition to offering hookah, light food options and non-alcoholic beverages will be offered. The applicants anticipate 70-75% of sales from hookah sales and 30% from food sales. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval (6-1) on July 7, 2026. This public hearing was continued from the August 3, 2026 City Council meeting. Since that time, staff has worked with the applicants to ensure that the associated ordinance includes appropriate conditions to protect public safety and nearby properties.

Continued Public Hearing: In Accordance with Chapter 214 of the Local Government Code and Article VII, Chapter 4 of the Lewisville City Code, a Public Hearing is Required so that City Council Can Consider Whether the Structure Located at 2274 S Uecker Lane (A 1.31-Acre Tract (Tract 12) in the L. Burgois Survey Abstract 52A) Should be Declared a Substandard Structure and Whether the Structure Must Be Secured, Vacated, Repaired, Removed, or Demolished.

The property located at 2274 S Uecker Lane, owned by DMR Homes & Constructions LP, has been vacant for an extended period and has sustained extensive damage due to vandalism. Over time, the structure on the property became an attractive nuisance and a safety concern, with reports of unauthorized individuals occasionally occupying the vacant property. On February 3, 2026, the Building Official, alongside the Fire Marshal and Code Enforcement Officers, conducted a joint inspection of the property including the structure. During this inspection, staff observed that the structure was uninhabitable. The interior drywall had been completely removed, doors and windows were broken or missing (leaving the structure open to the elements and unauthorized entry), and all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems had been stripped from the structure. Furthermore, the structure was not adequately secured to prevent continued unauthorized entry. It is the opinion of the Building Official that the structure is dangerous and constitutes a hazard to the public health, safety, and welfare. Further, based on the inspection, it is the Building Official's opinion that the repairs needed to bring the structure into compliance with current codes would significantly exceed ninety (90) days and that, due to the current condition of the structure, repair is not financially feasible as the cost of repairing the structure would exceed its market value after completion of the repairs. In accordance with the Local Government Code and City ordinance, this public hearing is for the City Council to determine if the structure is a substandard structure, and if so, declare it so and issue a compliance order so that abatement may begin. At the July 20, 2026, City Council meeting, this item was continued to the August 3, 2026, City Council meeting. At the August 3, 2026, City Council meeting, this item was again continued to the August 17, 2026, City Council meeting.
