V. REGULAR AGENDA
1. Case C 11 -18
Request for conditional use permit for a new manufactured home in Single Family -2
(SF -2) rd
1216 North 3 Street
Mr. Michael Mason requested a conditional use permit to locate a 30' x 48' new manufactured
home on a vacant lot on North 3`d Street. This lot is 50' wide with a required setback on each
side of 5'. These limitations require the home to be placed so the entrance [front door] will face
the side of the lot instead of facing the street. This Commission may approve an alternate
placement such as this one even though the Zoning Ordinance encourages homes to face the
street. Staff recommended brick or stone skirting as a condition of approval.
Eighteen (18) surrounding property owners were notified of this request. No (0) replies were
received in favor; one (1) or 5.56% replied as opposed; and one (1) or 5.56% replied as
undecided /other.
Mr. Mason, 1704 N. Beverly Drive, stated the homes in this neighborhood are older and the
addition of this manufactured home would be an improvement. Chairman Nelson asked if this
property would be a rental. Mr. Mason replied by stating he works in Dallas and was hoping to
rent this home.
Mr. Tate made a motion to approve this request; Mr. Kidwell seconded. The motion carried.
2. Case R 11 -05
Proposed rezoning of approximately 22 acres out of Abstract 161, aka 4140 Reilly
Road, and approximately 2.22 acres owned by the Union Pacific Railroad Company,
and adjacent right -of -way of Reilly Road, from Single Family -1 to Heavy Industrial,
and amend the Land Use Plan map to show the area as industrial
D R 7 nr)UKA cgInN PAGE 4 October 12, 2011
Mr. Dennis Probst, representative for BW Fabricators, requested rezoning the 22 acre tract
located at 4140 Reilly Road to Heavy Industrial (HI). He included approximately 2.22 acres of
Union Pacific Railroad land and its adjacent right -of -way to have a continuous HI zone
extending to east of the railroad.
This area was annexed into the City in 1999 as the most restrictive zone (SF -1). Industrial
zoning is appropriate for this site because of its location. BW Fabricators has plans for future
development.
Ten (10) property owners were notified of this request. One (1) response was received in favor
and none (0) responded opposing this request.
Mr. Probst was available for questioning as well as Mr. James Frank, BW's CEO. He stated
this company has been doing business as a manufacturer for many years at this location. This
zoning change will be in harmony with the actual use of this property.
Mr. Tate made a motion to recommend approval of this rezoning to City Council; Mr. Gardner
seconded. The motion carried.
VI. OTHER BUSINESS
1. City Council Update
Mr. Odom stated City Council upheld the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation
to approve the rezoning on Flood Street and the Sign Ordinance at its last meeting.
