Planning Commission - Regular Meeting

There we go. Good evening. Welcome to the July 20th City of Plano Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. I call the meeting to order at 6 o'clock p.m. If you would all rise and please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance.

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.

Thank you very much. First item is the consent agenda.

Consent agenda. The consent agenda will be acted upon in one motion and contains items that are routine and typically non-controversial. Items may be removed from this agenda for individual consideration by commissioners or staff.

Commissioner, does anybody like to remove a consent item? Commissioner Vronsky.

I'd like to remove item L for individual consideration, and I move that we have

Hang on, I have one other comment.

Commissioner Lingenfelter. Okay, then I'll go back to Mr. Bronski. I move we approve the consent agenda less item L as recommended by staff. Commissioner Lingenfelter.

I'll second. All right. We have a motion and a second to approve the consent agenda and have item L removed for separate consideration. Please vote. Motion passes 7-0. We do have Commissioner Binder who is not with us this evening. All right. Item number L. Read it for us, please.

Preliminary site plan, UCD Plano Coit Addition Block A, Lot 7. minor vehicle repair on one lot on 1.5 acres located on the south side of State Highway 121, 1,215 feet west of Quaint Road, zoned regional, commercial, and located within the State Highway 121 overlay and the Expressway Corridor overlay districts. This item is for administrative consideration.

Good evening, Commission. My name is Molly Correa with the Planning Department. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about this item. Thank you.

Okay. Commissioner Bronski.

Ms. Coryell, this particular site came before us in September of 2025, is that correct?

That is correct. This parcel was a portion of a zoning case that was to propose to rezone this tract from RE, regional employment, to RC, regional commercial. Okay.

And when it came before us, it was a three to three tie, correct?

That is correct. Two motions were made. The first motion was to approve the item. The motion failed in a 3-3 vote. Then another motion was made to deny the item, which also failed in a 3-3 vote. Both of these votes failing resulted in no recommendation moving forward to City Council, so the item moved forward automatically to City Council for their final decision.

Okay. And so what's before us tonight talks about a minor vehicle repair on one lot. Would this lot have been eligible for the minor vehicle repair had it not been changed back in October or whenever council approved it?

It would not have been because minor vehicle repair is not in an allowed use in the regional employment district.

Okay.

All right. I just wanted to be, I wanted to kind of clarify that, that, uh, this coming back before us, uh, what's going in here, uh, was not allowed at one point and then we changed it. And then now. Less than a year later, it comes before us again, and now they want to put something in there that wouldn't have been allowed prior. So thank you much, Ms. Correale.

Thank you.

All right, so another question, Ms. Correale, just real quick. So is the current proposed use consistent with the zoning that was approved by the City Council?

The preliminary site plan is consistent with the regional commercial zoning district as shown to the commission. Did I answer that?

As approved by the council.

As approved by the council, yes. Okay, thank you. Thank you.

All right, Commissioner Brunsky. I move we approve agenda item letter L as recommended by staff.

Commissioner Lally. I'll second.

All right, we have a motion and a second to approve consent agenda item L.

Please vote.

Motion passes 7-0. All right. All right. Items for individual consideration.

Item number one, please.

Zone Single Family Residence 9. The applicant is Robert Wright. This item is for administrative consideration.

Good evening, Commission. This is a residential replat. As you can see here, here are the boundaries of the proposed replat. The purpose of this replat is to combine two parcels into one lot. As you can see here, the proposed new lot lines in the dark black border of the replat. We received one letter in favor of this repot from within 200 feet of the surrounding property within the same subdivision. No other responses were received. Staff is recommending approval is submitted, and I'd be happy to answer any questions. Thank you.

Commissioner, any questions of staff? Commissioner Lawley?

I just have one question. Is there an upper limit for SF9, or are they allowed to combine those? There is not a maximum lot size for SF9. Okay, thank you. And can they build another building on it, like another house, or is it going to be like an accessory?

It is one single-family home per lot. Thank you.

Just to clarify, they may be able to build an accessory dwelling unit on the property.

Not under separate ownership, though, or anything like that.

Okay, any other questions of staff? Nobody? Okay, we do have a public hearing. I'll open the public hearing. Do we have any registered speakers?

No, we did not.

All right, I'll close the public hearing. Commissioner Bronski? I move we approve agenda item number one as recommended by staff. Commissioner Langenfelter?

I'll second.

All right, we have a motion and a second.

Please vote. Motion passes seven to zero. All right, if you'd please read items 2A and 2B together, please.

And then item number 2A, request to rezone 0.9 acre of land out of the Alex M. Hetfield Survey, abstract number 432, located at the northeast corner of Los Rios Boulevard and Fitzgerald Drive in the city of Plano, Collin County, Texas. To rezone 0.9 acre from agricultural to single family residence seven and to expand specific use permit number 582 for private recreation facility from 1.1 acres to 1.6 acres. The petitioner is the City of Plano and Trails of Glenwood, the number one HOA. This item is for legislative consideration. Item number 2B, Trails of Glenwood Phase 1, Block M, Lot 1R. Private recreation facility on one lot on 1.6 acres located on the northeast corner of Los Rios Boulevard and Fitz Daryl Drive, zoned agricultural and single family residence seven with specific use permit number 582 for private recreation facility. The applicant is the city of Plano and the trails of Glenwood, the number one HOA. This item is for administrative consideration pending agenda item number 2A.

Thank you. Good evening, commissioners. Tiara Clark, planner with the planning department. This rezoning request is a two-part request. Here's an aerial of the two parcels along Los Rios Boulevard. The image to your left represents the 0.5-acre city-owned parcel requesting a rezoning from agricultural to single-family resident seven. And the image on your right represents the existing Trails of Glenwood HOA amenity lot and the proposed expansion of the specific use permit to allow private recreation facility uses. So just the history of the city-owned lot. It was annexed in 1999 and zoned agricultural. In 2003, it was acquired by the city. And as you can see, based off of the historic aerial images, it was part of a larger property, about six acres. And then in 2004, Los Rios Boulevard was constructed, as seen on the lower historic aerial image. And then just a bit of site history for the amenity lot. So it was also annexed in 1999 and zoned agricultural. It was then rezoned to single family resident seven in 2005. And then the Trails of Glenwood subdivision was platted in 2007 and that specific use permit for the HOA amenity center was also approved. In 2008, the HOA amenity center was constructed as shown in the historic aerial image. So as mentioned before, the purpose of their request is to sell the parcel to the Trails of Glenwood HOA for future expansion of their private amenity center. And therefore, they have submitted a two-prong request. And so the first is to rezone the city-owned parcel. from agricultural to single family seven to match the surrounding zoning of the neighborhood. And the second part of the request is to expand the existing private recreation facility SUP boundaries to include that 0.5 acre city-owned parcel, which will then be replatted and combined into one single lot. And so if replatted, the subject property will then be designated as neighborhoods and open space network on the future land use map. And just as a note, through the sale of this parcel, there will be a de-restriction to make sure that that 0.5 acres is still developed with private recreation facility uses or open space uses. And so as part of state law, the city requires that we notify residents within a certain boundaries of the subject property. So within the subject property, there were no notices returned. And so within 200 feet, excuse me, of the subject property, there were four responses returned. There were three in support and one in opposition. As for the citywide responses, there were a total of 12 responses returned, five in support, six in opposition, and one which was neutral to the request. And so this is the replat that was submitted, which is just showing the combination or combining the amenity lot with the city-owned parcel, which will maybe be replatted. And so just a bit of analysis. Um, so this site does have a few constraints. Um, one, uh, it has been underused since 1999 and, uh, you know, it's also sort of isolated by Los Rios Boulevard and it, it does have a smaller size and a unique shape. And so, um, the city's parks department has no plans to develop it at this time. Um, and in terms of, uh, Surrounding residents uses for parks. There are other parts within the area that residents can utilize And so with the sellers property there wouldn't be any effect of Any existing or plan improvements associated with Oak Point Park specifically, which is directly across from Los Rios Boulevard and And with that, the SUP expansion will allow for the Trails of Glenwood HOA to expand their private amenity center. And then rezoning this parcel to SF7 will sort of make it compatible with the surrounding zoning in the area. And so in summary, item 2A is, again, a two-part request. It's to first rezone the 0.9 acres from agricultural to single-family residents. And just as a note, the 0.9 acres comes from the 0.5 acre of the city-owned lot and then 0.4 acre of the right-of-way center line. And then the second part of the request is to expand SUP 582 to include the adjacent city-owned property within its boundaries. And the companion submittal, which was item 2B, is the replat to combine two properties into a single lot. And staff recommends that item 2A be recommended for approval as submitted and item 2B be recommended for approval subject to city council's approval of this zoning case. That concludes my presentation. And if you have any questions, let me know.

Commissioners, any questions of staff? Commissioner Tong.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just want to clarify that in the end result, these two parcels were combined into one block. Would that be one owner or two owners?

Yes, so it will be. So this is a part of the city is planning to sell this property subject of this zoning case. And so the idea is that it will be under one ownership. It'll be owned by the Trails of Glenwood HOA. It'll be combined into one lot.

Okay, thank you.

Commissioner Lawley.

I wanted to know, so now it is part of the open space in the city, right, Sony? And the deed restrictions, do they allow them to build on this lot or expand their recreational? What does that mean? Can they build a building on there, or are they going to keep it open space? Sure.

Ms. DeBell, do you want to answer that question? Sure.

Yes, I believe the deed would allow them to expand their facilities on the site through the site planning process. It will not allow them to build another single family dwelling on the property. It needs to be public or private. It needs to be open space or an open space amenity.

Commissioner Ali.

Just to clarify the last point, it will be This restricts them to open space, but it's now private open space, which is not, well, it wasn't accessible to the public in the past anyway.

It could be limited to use of the neighborhood residents.

And one of the reasons why the city wasn't able to develop it in the past was shape configuration and access just because of the way Los Rios cut it.

That's correct.

Okay, thank you. Commissioner Lawley?

I'm sorry, I have another question. So, you know, like the right-of-way, the .4, is it going to be, you know, like, it's going to be dedicated as an easement, so it's not going to change anything in the right-of-way, right?

Yeah, so it currently exists as a right-of-way, so the city has access to the road because we own it. So the SUP boundary will only be part of the buildable area. It would include that right-of-way area.

Does that answer your question? Yeah, but it stays as a right of way, right? It'll stay as right of way.

Our typical practice is to zone to the center line of the street with every rezoning.

All right, any other questions of staff? Okay, I'll open the public hearing. Do we have any registered speakers on this item?

We do not.

All right, I'll close the public hearing.

All right, Commissioner Ali.

I move we approve agenda item number 2A as recommended by staff. Commissioner Lingenfelter.

I second that.

All right, so we have motion and a second to approve item 2A as recommended by staff. Please vote. Motion passes seven to zero.

All right, item 2B, Commissioner Bronski. I move we approve agenda item 2B as recommended by staff. Commissioner Ali. Second.

All right, we have a motion and a second to approve item 2B. Let's vote. Motion passes seven to zero. All right, comments of public interest.

The Planning and Zoning Commission may not discuss these items but may respond with factual or policy information. The Planning and Zoning Commission may choose to place the item on a future agenda. The presiding officer may modify these times as deemed necessary.

Do we have anybody registered as
