Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider adopting Ordinance No. 3519 for a Specific Use Permit to allow outdoor storage located at 13860 N. Stemmons Freeway; and take appropriate action.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The applicant, Kevin Woodard, is requesting a Specific Use Permit (SUP) to allow for outdoor storage at the rear of the existing building. The use of the property is retail service use; Mower Medic provides sale and maintenance service of lawn mower equipment, which is permitted within the zoning district. The site is located within Planned Development No. 70 (PD-70) Freeway Sub-district, which requires approval of an SUP for outdoor storage.
Although the outdoor storage area was constructed prior to a request for an SUP, the associated Detailed Site Plan proposes to achieve the intent of the PD-70 screening requirements with modifications to the screening requirements as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission, allowing taller plant materials to be installed without requiring the landscape berm.
RECOMMENDATION:
On August 13, 2018, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Specific Use Permit with the condition that the applicant plant minimum five foot tall shrubbery or plantings without the landscape berm, as presented in Ordinance No. 3519.
ACTIONS:
1. Motion to adopt Ordinance No. 3519.
2. Motion to adopt Ordinance No. 3519 with the following modifications…
3. Motion to deny Ordinance No. 3519.
4. Motion to continue discussion at the next meeting.
