HEARING DATE: May 12, 2009 STAFF REP.: Matt Steer, City Planner LOCATION: South side of Fritz Road, east of Royal Lane SIZE OF AREA: 540 square feet of property CURRENT ZONING: S-1 1 l OR2-HC (Special Use Permit-1 1 10 Revision 2-Highway Commercial) REQUEST: A zoning change to S-1110R3-HC (Special Use Permit-1110 Revision 3-Highway Commerciai), to allow a repiacement and relocation of the existing equipment and cabinet with a 120- square-foot shelter to be located approximately 15 feet west of the existing cabinet, on 540 square feet of property located on the south side of Fritz Road, approximately 1,260 feet west of Freeport Parkway. APPLICANT: Peter Kavanagh Zone Systems, Inc. 1620 Handley Drive, Suite A Dallas, TX 75208 Phone: (214) 941-4440 FAX: (214) 941-5259 Email: peterk@zonesystems.com HISTORY: In December, 2002, an amendment to the existing site plan to allow the construction of covered parking over 68 existing parking ITEM # 7 Page 1 of 3 ~ spaces was approved for the IAAM site. Phase One involved covering six parking spaces and was constructed in April, 2003 and no additional parking covers have been constructed. The final plat for Lot 1, Block 1, IAAM HQ was approved in July, 1999, and construction of the building followed later that year. TRANSPORTATION: Fritz Road (formerly Cotton Road) is a C2U two lane undivided roadway built to standard in a 65-foot right-of-way. SURROUNDING LAND USE 8~ ZONING: North -Industrial warehousing: LI (Light Industrial) South -Interstate Highway 635; A (Agricultural) East - vacant; HC (Highway Commercial) West- Interstate Highway 635; A(Agricultural) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for freeway office uses. DISCUSSION: This is a fairly simple request. The applicant is proposing to amend the current SUP by updating and relocating the equipment on site. The current location is to the southeast of the existing transmission pole and the proposed location is to the south. This will involve the removal of the Red-Tipped Photenias (no longer allowed by Ordinance) that are acting to screen the existing equipment area. The new shelter for the equipment will be constructed of materials to match that of the IAAM Headquarters. This shelter will be screened with Nellie R. Stevens (permissible evergreen shrubs found on the plant palette of the Zoning Ordinance). There are only two concerns. One involves the utility equipment shown on the ecst side of the proposed shelter. Per the direction of staff, a wing wall is proposed to screen the utility equipment shown on the east side of the structure. There does not appear to be adequate room for maintenance of or access to the equipment if installed as depicted. This is listed as a condition of approval to allow four feet of ciear space for access and/or maintenance. Another condition of approval will be submittal of written permission from the owner of the property for the zone change to occur. All and all, staff is in favor of the request subject to these two conditions being met as well as minor adj~stments to the elevation plans. ITEM # 7 Page 2 of 3 RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this request subject to the following conditions: 1. Submit a letter from the property owner staTing their permission to rezone the property. 2. Revise the differing heights of the wing wall on the elevations and ensure the utility rack is effectively screened. 3. Ensure there is adequate clear space for access and/or maintenance of the utility rack proposed on the east side of the shelter. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Recommend approval of the request 2. Recommend disapproval of the request 3. Recommend modification of the request 4. Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date ATTACHMENTS: 1.
