Mr, Cedric Hu presented the case and stated the applicants were seeking a conditional use approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission to place a manufactured home in a Single Family-1 (SF-1) zoning district. City ordinance requires an approved conditional use permit to place a manufactured home in residential districts. The subject property is located in the north area of Wichita Falls, north of Northwest Freeway and west of City View Drive. Mr. Hu advised the property currently is vacant surrounded primarily by other vacant land with a few residences nearby. The neighboring property adjacent to the east, 5040 Kiel Lane is also owned by the applicants. Mr. Hu displayed a proposed site plan provided by the applicants showing the structure will be 30ft. X 76ft, (2,305sf.) consisting of 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The site plan proposed also showed 2 covered patios to be constructed. The front covered patio will measure 10ft. X 17ft. and the rear covered patio 12ft, X 39ft. The subject property is a 10-acre lot the structure will be on, exceeding all setback requirements. Planning and Zoning 3 January 11, 2023 Staff notified 5 property owners within a 200ft. radius and received back 3 responses in favor and 1 in opposition. Mr. Hu advised staff recommended approval of a conditional use for a manufactured home at 5050 Kiel Lane with the following conditions. 1. The manufactured home meets the requirements of Section 5600 for in-fill manufactured housing of the zoning ordinance for manufactured housing. 2. The proposed home must comply with all applicable codes and ordinances at the time of construction permitting. Chairman Cook asked if the applicant was present. The applicant was present and did not wish to present anything further to the Commission. Chairman Cook asked for any public comments. Chairman Cook closed public comments and opened the floor up to Commission discussion. There were no comments and Chairman Cook called for a vote and the motion passed unanimously 7-0. 2. Case R 23-01 4520 Kemp Boulevard - Rezone: Public hearing to consider taking action on a proposed rezone at 4520 Kemp Boulevard (Faith Village, Unit II, Lot 10A, Block 70) from Limited Commercial (LC) to General Commercial (GC) zoning district and amend the Land Use Plan from Low Density Residential to Commercial to allow for development of a multi-tenant facility with drive-thru services. Applicant: Trevor & Jennifer Fowler Chairman Cook opened the public hearing at 2:06 pm concerning case R 23-01. Mr. Fabian Medellin presented the case, and stated the owner and applicant, Ms. Jennifer Fowler, owner of Salon FX located at 4520 Kemp Boulevard, came to the Planning Division office once the Urgent Care Center to the north of her property had been developed to discuss the development of her property. A pre- development meeting was held between staff and Ms. Fowler to discuss the potential demolition of her current facility and development of a new salon. Ms. Fowler then had her properties platted and engaged an architect after which another follow-up meeting was held with the architect. At that time the architect advised Ms. Fowler wanted to expand on her previous proposal, maximizing the use of her lot by developing a multi-tenant facility, one offering the use of a drive- thru if needed. Staff advised Ms. Fowler the Limited Commercial (LC) district prohibits both proposed uses, however, staff advised there was potential to rezone to change the boundary of the adjacent neighboring General Commercial (GC) district to the east to extend and cover her property. Ms. Fowler is seeking approval to rezone the subject property today. Mr. Medellin stated the subject property was located north of the Kemp Boulevard and Southwest Parkway intersection. Ariel maps showed the current structure, Salon FX on the south portion of the subject property, and a vacant residential structure located to the north. When the salon was built in the 1950's it was a residential structure, over the years it was renovated to a commercial structure that Planning and Zoning 4 January 11, 2023 housed many other commercial operations before Ms. Fowler took ownership and created Salon FX. Ms. Fowler's proposal is to demolish the vacant residential structure on the north portion of the property and develop the new multi-tenant facility. Once demolition of the current salon is complete, demolition of the old salon will begin, creating a seamless transition. Mr. Medellin advised the uses surrounding the property currently to the north were: retail; medical; and offices. To the east is Dunkin' Donuts and a pawn shop, to the west are some residents in a residential district and to the south are some residential uses up to Southwest Parkway, a major corridor. Site plans displayed showed the proposed structure to be a total of 3,159sf. housing two tenants, Salon FX and the other will be a white-box space until a tenant is determined to occupy the space. Floor plans showed Salon FX will occupy 2,300sf., leaving the remaining 860sf. with a drive-thru for lease space. When comparing the proposed use to other uses, the proposed site sits between an urgent care center and a vacant land, and would share similar uses and impacts to nearby properties. Staff recommended a petition to rezone the property from Limited Commercial (LC) to General Commercial (GC) and amend the Land Use Plan from Low Density Residential to Commercial to extend the commercial use around the area. Mr. Medellin advised staff notified 22 property owners within 200ft. of the subject property and received only one response, that being in opposition to the proposal. Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning request of +1- 0.52 acres at 4520 Kemp Boulevard to General Commercial (GC), and amending the Land Use Plan designation to Commercial. if approved, the applicant is subject to all other zoning and building code regulations for commercial-related projects. Adhering to the zoning requirements may help lessen the potential impact on the abutting and adjacent residential neighborhood and include but are not limited to the following: 1. Prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, and new development must submit plans for review, approval, and inspection prior to beginning operations. 2. All outdoor lighting (Zoning Ordinance - Section 4650) must be directed away from the residential areas south and west of the property. 3. Parking sufficient to meet the needs of the development per the standards of Section 6200. 4. Increased setback requirements for non-residential uses adjacent to single family uses as outlined in Section 4600. 5. Landscaping shall be provided to meet the needs requirements of Section 6800. Chairman Cook asked if there was anyone from the public that would like to comment. The owner, Ms. Fowler, was present for the meeting and advised she had nothing to add to the presentation. With no other comments, Mr. Cook closed Planning and Zoning 5 January 11, 2023 the public hearing at 2:15 pm and asked for a motion to open the item for discussion. Ms. Cayce Wendeborn made the motion with Mr. Maft Marrs seconding. Commission member, Mr. Doug McCulloch asked for a diagram of the drive-thru to be displayed. Mr. Medellin displayed the site plan to the Commission. Mr. McCulloch asked if the 10ft. wide calculation for the drive-thru was correct. Mr. Medellin advised that was correct, 9ft. would be sufficient for single vehicles. Mr. McCulloch asked about impacts to the residents near the subject property, Mr. Medellin advised nothing significant. Mr. McCulloch asked about traffic entering from Featherston. Mr. Medellin stated that was a second egress, however, the Kemp egress would be primarily used. With no further discussion among the Commission, Chairman Cook called for a vote. The vote was 7-0 in favor of the rezoning recommendation. VIII. ADJOURN Chairman Cook adjourned the meeting at 2:18 pm.
