This motion was seconded by Mr. Don Collins and the motion carried 4-0 with Bowen and Marin abstaining, since they were not present at the February 27th meeting. 1. PZ 92-07 Public hearing to consider a request of Mr. Garry Gooden for a Specific Use Permit for Used Vehicle Sales at 8208 Grapevine Highway. The public hearing was opened by Mr. Brock who asked that anyone wishing to speak in favor of the proposed request to come forward. Mr. Jim Daulf, 8204 Timberlane, came forward and spoke in favor of the request. Brock asked if any of the cars were to be stored inside. The proponent stated that cars would be displayed outdoors and that minor maintenance of the vehicles prior to sales would be a part of their business. Mr. Brock stated that auto repair is not a permitted use in the C-l zone. Mr. Daulf stated that the previous use was a vehicle inspection station 2 which performed repairs for the general public. Mr. Daulf stated that they would want to only perform minor maintenance on a vehicle such as installing brakes or performing tune-ups on the vehicles that they intend to sell. Mr. Barfield stated since automobile repair was not a permitted use in the C-l district, that they should re-apply for a C-2 zoning district which does permit auto repairs. Mr. David Larken asked to speak and stated that they were not particularly interested in performing auto repairs, but were primarily interested in selling used cars. If they wanted to perform maintenance, then they could come back at a later date and request a zoning district change, so stated Mr. Larken. Ms. Marin asked if the owner, Mr. Gooden, if he would be involved in the operation of the facility. Mr. Larken stated that he would not be involved other than as the landlord. Mr. Brock asked if there was anyone else wanting to speak regarding this issue. There being none, the public hearing was closed. Ms. Marin asked if anyone had any names of people who may have called in raising concern for the zoning request. Mr. Pence stated that a couple of calls were received, but no one had left there names. Mr. Bowen made the motion to approve PZ 92-07 as presented and this was seconded by Mr. Lueck. The motion carried 6-0. 2. PZ 91-27 Public Hearing to consider proposed Comprehensive Master Land Use Plan. Mr. Brock opened the public hearing and asked anyone wishing to speak 3 in favor of the Master Plan to come forward. Mr. Owen Long, 1615 Precinct Line, Hurst, Texas, came forward to represent The Bank of Commerce who owns a piece of land on Douglas Lane. Mr. Long stated that several months ago he had come before the Planning and Zoning commission to present a preliminary plan for a new subdivision, but received only approval on a portion of the tract with approval of the remainder postponed until the Master Thoroughfare Plan could be reviewed and considered for amendment which would impact their proposed subdivision. Mr. Long was specifically interested in the alignment of Douglas Lane and Holiday Lane as shown as a proposed change in the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Long stated that other developers in the city were concerned that the location of Holiday Lane was critical to the development potential of the area north of starnes Road. Mr. Brock expressed concern that citizens had not really been given as good an opportunity to know about the Master Plan and the public hearing. He stated that since there was no need to rush into the adoption of the Master Plan it would seem appropriate to send notices out with the water bills and advise people to attend the April 9th meeting. Ms. Marin made a motion to table action on the Master Plan until April 9, 1992 and the motion was seconded by Mr. Barfield. The motion carried 6-0. 3. PZ 92-05 Public hearing to consider amendment to the Zoning Ordinance regarding Pawn Shops. 4 Mr. Bock opened the public hearing and stated that last year the state Legislature changed laws pertaining to zoning of pawn shops which prohibits the requirements that some cities were imposing which required a specific use permit for a pawn shop.
