The zoning case, PD 24-21 is a request from JF Holdings to rezone three parcels, comprising 1.2 acres located at 1537 and 1531 West Mendel Randall Mill Road and 1109 North Field Road from neighborhood commercial to plan development for neighborhood commercial with a development plan. The applicant is requesting a PD for a restaurant with a drive throughthrough to include 42 interior seats and a small outdoor seating area. The site will be oriented with the front elevation of the structure facing west to north-fielder, with the drive-through wrapping around the building from the south and to the north and west. The applicant's tree preservation plan is accomplished in part with a 70-foot wide buffer on the north side as well as adding future trees. Post-oaks are the primary species on the site. On November 13th, the Planning and Zoni Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of this plan development. This evening, Clark Johnson from JF Holdings will present his case. On the clock. Good to go. Perfect. Thank you, staff, and thank you, Council, everyone, for your time this evening. I want to give you a brief overview of our company. A summary of why we're here this evening and discuss the brief history and steps we've taken to arrive at our planned development. Our company, JFA, which is a retail development company based in Dallas, Texas, we are retail developers for several national retailers, including Starbucks and Chipotle. Our company is acquiring these three lots from the Brown family to develop a 2342-square-foot retail building to be listed Chipotle. This will be our eighth Chipotle development over the last three years specifically for their Chipotle and concept that they have rolled out nationally. Chipotle identified and approved this location a little over a year to go, do their strong performance. Other three closest locations, UT, Arlington, North Collins, and Little Road. All three of these locations performed very well. Over the last nine to 12 months, we have, along with our design team, have worked diligently with the WIAS state. First meeting with them in Arlington library this spring. During that meeting we took note of their concerns and have listened to their comments and subsequently I'd say. I'd say they're probably 10 to 15 items that they noted, but to highlight a few, they asked us to eliminate the forest drive access. They asked us to increase our fence height from 6 to 8 feet. They asked us to arrange the building so that the patio faces a field. They asked us to relocate the dumpsters and last they finally asked to preserve as many trees as possible. We feel like we've accomplished and worked with them to address these concerns. And I feel like we have a site and landscape plan that is significant landscape buffers and a plan that preserves as many trees and adds many trees as well. So in addition we met with city staff to meet their standards. I would like to note that today this has been a site plan and zoning plan review and if approved this evening we will undertake an engineering and architectural review to the development plan by city staff. Third we met with a brown family to ensure that the plan is acceptable to them as our future neighbor. And last, our client should pull a to create a site plan that they have approved corporately and feel that will enable them to operate a successful business at this location. As a result, as indicated on November 13th, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the PD of a vote of 880. We would take a step back and sincerely thank everyone involved in this project. It was taking the time to meet with us from the city staff to the double Y and the many others. We believe that this collaboration as a result is truly a better project with many unique characteristics. We along with Chipotle are excited about the outcome and know they're excited to serve the customers in the screening. We ask City Council for your support and are available to answer any questions that you may have. Thank you, sir. Council Member Boxel. Thank you. Do you, the outdoor seating area will now be on the south side of the building? It'll be facing the field. Okay, so it'll be on the west side of the building. And that was driven by request from the WI. Okay, and you don't have your development plan here. I don't know how to navigate this very well here. Is there a clicker? Oh, here we go. A bicycle, a clicker. The other patio, it's facing west. And how big is that? How big is the patio? It accommodates 42 seats and it's approximately 2,000 plus monies between 15 by 25. Okay, I got it. So that's going to be the really hot side of the building. Not sure how many people are gonna sit out there, but I guess you had to do that to accommodate the neighbors. Correct. Okay, and how many trees are gonna be saved on that corner? Do you have that information? Yeah, so we're of the protected trees. It's kinda hard to read this, sorry, that of the protected trees, There trees there's 11 that are being protected and then we're adding 27 for significant positive treatments. Okay and what those 27 do you know what species those are? Yeah they're the post or the post-docs. You're adding post-docs. Oh sorry no we're adding a combination of Ornamental trees and also We got some cedar alums a red oak Some maple cipers is there's a list here of Okay, oh, I think I'm looking at the wrong page. You just have high quality tree, low quality tree. Yeah, there's the combination of high quality trees and what more than no trees. Okay, so these are dwarf trees mostly. Instead of one time. Dwarf trees. Yes. Okay. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you. Mr. Buskin, any other speakers on this item? Yes, sir. We have one additional speaker in support and one speaker in opposition. Our speaker in support is Koi Garrett. Before Mr. Garrett gets up and talks, Mr. Hogg, did you have a question for the applicant? I did. Thank you, Mayor. Real quick, and I appreciate Y'all's tree work as I looked into that. I think y'all are made of valent effort to save as many strong post-docs as you could. And your score of 900 is not something we see regularly on a score. I talked to Mr. Garrett, and I also appreciate I didn't realize there was a little concern over me and I drive through, but this a non-speaker drive-through and it's not you're not pulling up and yelling into the speaker and they can't hear you You can't hear them. This is not that type of drive-through correct correct? Correct. Yeah, this is the Chipotle and concept where you have to order on your your app on your phone And there's no no mini board so you don't have the speaker which crazy just winging up to pick up Correct. They have a G offense and they know you're there and then they pick up awesome I think that is a good thing let me ask one question and I meant to ask it today and I earlier today and I forgot and and I don't know if mr. Brooks is in here as we are talking in a bond election to redo Randall Mill Road right there and try I don't know if someone can't answer this. I don't think Yelts plan is bearing power lines right along there. Trey, if we on our plan for Randall Mill, since we're going to five lanes, that's a six lane area where they kind of are because it's got that right turn lane, will those power lines be buried or what's the plan on that? Now the standard would not be burying power lines, just some expense, although that is something y'all can take a look at in the capital scoping and if you wanna make sure that power lines are part of that, we can certainly do it. It'll shrink the projects that you have to do. It's significant. Yeah, I know it's significant. I'm just wondering how we'll get to five lanes without burying those power lines. You'll move the poles. You move the poles to the new curb line and it's a lot cheaper than burying. Okay. All right, I just wanna make sure on this one that we're taking that into account. That's all the questions I have. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Hogg. Mr. Garrett. Good evening, Mayor and Council. My name is Koi Garrett, Office of the 1600 West A1 Arlington, Texas, 76013. Tonight I represent the sellers of booking investments comprised of Sandra Michael Brown who on this property. They've owned most of these lots for and excess 30 years. They own three additional lots to the three lots that are subject to the zoning site plan tonight. We placed this property on the market about a year and a half ago, we had five offers on it, two were from Fortune 500 companies. One was from the Chipotle people that we have tonight, and two others dropped out. These gentlemen have come to the top of the list with respect to experience, knowledge, and access to the NOMA's Fortune 500 companies. They've worked very, very hard to make this a successful project. They've just completed a repurposing of a restaurant out near I-30 in East Chase and they've converted it into the Starbucks coffee as well as their completing one in San Angelo. They've worked very diligently with the homeowners in the neighborhood and we've had a lot of meetings and trying to put this plan together. At PNZ, we heard concerns about the normal issues of speed down forest lane, lights, noise, et cetera. Forest lane has eight houses on the west side and I believe about 10 on the east side. It was about 1,000 feet long. Issue of speed bumps came up. They didn't, neighborhood didn't want that. Farther record we have no access on forest lane. All of our access is from the builder and Randall Mill. And addressing the light and noise to the immediate north of this project. Currently exists a four foot chain link fence. Our plan shows an eight foot fence with 70 foot buffer between that and the facility. With respect to the east side, We got two vacant lots that are there. Our plan calls for a fanciel on the East property line, which physically gives them more protection from light and noise off of field of road than they have today. I just think conclusion, no one wants to build a single family house on this hard corner. In my opinion, it's the highest in best years. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you, sir. Any other speakers, Mr. Busker? Yes, sir. We have one speaker in opposition, Patrick Kelly. Mr. Kelly. Not through me. We're done with you. What's respect to that? Are your feelings hurt? Sir. Are your feelings hurt that we didn't have a bunch of questions for? My feelings are hurt I will not be giving them a ruby bottle, but on behalf of the sellers at the appropriate time, I would wee would respectfully request your approval of this case. Thank you very much. Thank you, sir. Mr. Kelly. Hello everyone, my name is Patrick Kelly. and live at 1730 Ridgeview Drive. That's three blocks north of I-30 off the field of road and my family started looking for lots back in the mid 1960s and we built our own place back up against the random I went to Wimbish and I probably know the intersection around Millenfield or better named by in here does. When I went paying two plus of the teacher, two close attention to the teacher, I was looking outside watching the field or north plasms of shopping center being built. This intersection is at capacity now. I don't know whether you guys have noticed or not, but if you drive around early morning or late in the afternoon, there's traffic backed up, south of Sanford, and all the way back down to Greenfield Boulevard and right in front of Random Hill Park in the Armory and Almost all the way back to Davis Boulevard if you put a restaurant in there with a bunch of people driving out eating a burrito You're looking for trouble I already had two of my good fans get get run over when they were real small and they're in their 60s now and it took about 40 years for them to get well. They got hit so hard and There were other people that got hit from traffic at random in the field are coming right out of Wimbus every day so If if you allow this to be bit I'm off for it being developed You know those one-store house their years are going to what is big as some of the houses that are down the street where there's office space But But if somebody put a bigger office there that was one story that had a number of sweets that fit, that'd be perfect right there. But a restaurant in a child's school zone? No. And no thing that's not related to the subject. If you guys allow a bunch of other species of trees to be planted within the root zones of those postokes, you're going to kill the postokes. Anyway, I think I've made my point clear because I emailed you all twice on the subject. I hope everybody read it because right now the flow in Northwest Arlington is pretty decent. But if you put that restaurant there, even one wreck is going to paralyze the whole area just like it does when there's cowboy game. That's all. Thanks. Thanks, sir. No other speakers, Mr. Busken? No, so that concludes our speakers. We did have three non-speakers in support and two non-speakers who did not indicate supporter opposition. Thanks, sir. I'm going to close the public hearing. I have a motion from Councilmember Galante, a second from Councilmember Pham. Please cast your vote. The motion passes. Congratulations, sir. 12.1, Mr. Gus Garcia. You're not Gus. You're a lot younger. Just a sandsome. Heh heh heh. Well Mr. Mayor, members of Council, good evening. I'm Clay Mansell, economic development coordinator with the Office of Economic Development. Before you this evening is a resolution authorizing the execution of a TURS Chapter 380 grant agreement between the City of Arlington and Pershing Development LLC. The TURS number one board approved this item at their November 22nd meeting and the resolution tonight is the next level of approval to authorize the agreement. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you, sir. Seeing no questions from Council, Mr. Buskin, and any speakers on this item. Yes, sir, we have one speaker in support, Edward Manual. Mr. Manual. Thank you, you go here to answer any questions you had had but appreciate everybody's support. Thank you, sir. Any other speakers, Mr. Busken? Yes, sir. Thank you. I have a motion from Council Member Odom Westley. A second from Council Member Fam. Please cast your vote. I did. It popped off. Are you? I'm going to ask you to say one thing about the, sorry. Go ahead. Sure. If I may. It was brought up during the afternoon meeting. I didn't want to clarify because there was a question regarding the fee waivers. In between the meetings we were able to check the permit department has a calculator. And so for the building permit fees, it would be about 43,000 for the building permits and about 15,000 for the plan review that would be exempted. And there's some additional costs that we weren't able to get hard numbers for related to the demo impact and tap fees. But rough estimate would be about 150 total for those exemptions. Okay. And in the other comments, questions from council. All right, I have the motion from councilmember Odom Westley, a second from councilmember fam, please cast your vote. The motion passes. Thank you, sir. And move on down to 13.1, Mr. Gertson. Thank you again, Mayor. This case is an appeal from a recommendation of denial by the Planning and Zoning Commission. PD24-10 is a request to change zoning from airport overlay general commercial to airport overlay plan development for residential multifamily 22 with 5,000 square feet of co-working space in a development plan. On 9.8 acres located at 300 East Steven Street, the project consists of 324 multifamily units. The case was initially denied by the Planning Commission in June of this year on I-2 to 7 vote. Upon appeal, the City Council voted to remand the case back to the commission. After making a number of changes to the proposal, the applicant returned to the commission on December 4. The commission again voted to recommend denial this time on a vote of four to five. Before you tonight is a resolution which if approved, would direct staff to schedule a public hearing to hear the case at a future date. The applicant is JPI represented this evening by Ms. Nikki Moore. Ms. Moore? Good evening, Mayor and Council. Thank you once again for hearing the appeal on this case that JPI has so lovingly invested here in Arlington. So when we first remanded it back to PNZ, we picked up two additional votes in favor, so that made former Council Member Nunez, Robert Blake, Jacob Sender, and Greer. It was such a close vote at 4.5. What I Everyone across the commission was extremely, like praise the product, extremely impressed with what was being offered. They just really struggled to kind of make that ultimate decision. And they kind of ended up making a land use decision. That's within their purview. And so, but we were encouraged once again to make the appeal to council. Because as city council, you get to make the decision on a little bit wider per view. Not only the land use but looking at this project as a part of an economic driver for this area with the extension of MLK, the coming out of e-space and housing and then a co-working space in addition to that area but also just meeting a housing need for all of the upcoming jobs that are coming in this area. And so we just ask you to, at least give us an opportunity to present the case in front of you all at a later date and let you ultimately make the decision. Thank you, Ms. Moore, council member, Boxel. Thank you. I would just like to urge my fellow councilmembers to grant this appeal because there are some issues that were not brought up at either of the two previous PNZ meetings that I think are relevant. And so we need to hear those. And I urge you to vote yes on this. Miss boxal, would you mind sharing what some of those issues was? Just compatible land uses that are already there or planned and will be built very soon in the area. Thank you. Ms. Moore, since the denial of this, have you had communications with representatives of e-space down there by the airport? Yes, sir, we have. Are those communications still active today? Yes, sir, they are. All right. I'm going to agree with Ms. Boxel that I think this would warrant consideration, considering what's going on with the new evidence in the space and the closeness of the previous vote to how I'll support that. Any other speaker, Mr. Hogg? Yeah, thank you, Mayor. And Ms. Moore, thank you for working on this. You know, I'm probably not a huge fan of this use of that land right there for this. I told you I'd listen and I actually appreciate some of the changes. Because of you and I trust you, I want a grant, a grant, but I just don't think I'm going to be able to get to voting yes. So I don't want to string you along whatsoever on work. There's a side of me that says just because you're bringing it, I think it's quality, I think it'll bring it there, but I just don't know if I can get there. So I will probably be building no just to end it because I don't think you're gonna get my vote eventually on this whatsoever, so I appreciate it. Thank you. Mr. Hogg, that was probably the nicest know I've ever heard in my life. I wish everybody take a lesson mayor sometimes. No, I know my nose are never that nice. Miss Hunter. Thank you. This is actually in district three. Near our airport district and you know I'm going to have to agree with my colleague, Councilman Hogg. I don't want to strangle you along because I don't think I'm going to be able to give you the support that you're wanting for this. Again, I respect you for doing this and I just don't think I can get the support for this. So I'm going to have to vote now, but thank you. Thank you, Miss Honour. Mr. Buskin, any other speakers on this? Yes, sir, we have one additional speaker in support. Brian Grant. Mr. Grant, you're just waving me off like you have nothing to add. Miss Moore did that well, right? Yeah, nothing to add. Just to advocate if there are questions. Okay. Mr. Galante? Well I I motion to to approve and thank you for coming out and putting out the effort and you guys too I motion to approve give you the second chance to come out and present so we can cross all the the boxes and go over all the the facts the fact that we have the airport in constant evolution also we have our airport layover, we have several companies investing in the area. We just approve a hotel nearby. We're kind of preparing the area for to absorb the workforce plus the extra traffic and you know, from corporate traffic over there there. I'm gonna miss Bill Antley. We're gonna have to be very cautious about getting into this because I could feel our city attorney's eyes glaring at me that we can't get into the specifics of whether or not there should ever be a granting of anything other than an appeal. Okay. If you want to do the appeal, so whether or not it is a viable project isn't relevant on this granting of the appeal or not. Okay. I just want to have a second chance to you. What was that? Take a look at all those factors in having a final vote after the consideration. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Glonte. Okay, I have a motion from Council Member Glonte. I have a second from Council Member Pham. Please cast your vote. Motion passes, congratulations, ma'am. Mr. Busken, citizen participation.

And she's done a lot of work and a lot of writing in this homeless situation, but she's in the hospital. I have the homeless outreach program, the heart unit. It just, the rubber is just not meeting the road. It looks good from the outside, but the polyther is not there. And I have a stalker and I've been assaulted by a man and I have it on video. And it says right here, the penal code, but I don't want to get into all that. I do want to let you know that I am, as of January 1st, I think I'm going to start with a YouTube channel for a community that is auditing police officers because there are some heroes there some great police officers and I know I've been counter-owned and there's one lady officer dormant that I think she just may even be an angel but there's some out there that are doing doing the devil's work and they're lying and they're making it harder and there's no place to be. It's Christmas. I'm almost embarrassed to do my things but I can't afford to do laundry. I get my check but it doesn't last long. Anyways, I'm going to continue to come here and I'm trying to keep it short in respect your time and I hope everybody has American Christmas but please do something and to do some guidelines, because we're not visionabell, we're people.
