The City would like to Replat this property into three lots. Lot 1R-1 is currently under contract with Taco Cabana, Lot 1 R2 extends from the Taco Cabana lot up to the face of the former library building, and Lot 2R all the way to the former NTB Tire Store.

SUP 2012 -06 Public Hearing and Consideration of a Request from The Attic Resale for a Special Use Permit to allow a Secondhand Dealer business at 7205 Boulevard 26 Jimmy Conine, 17807 Benchmark Drive, Dallas, TX came forward as the property manager for Quine and Associates, requesting a Special Use Permit for The Attic Resale, 7205 Boulevard 26 in the Greater Richland Shopping Center. The applicants are requesting to move over one space from unit 7213 to unit 7205, which will give them approximately 700 additional square feet for their business to grow. They have been an excellent tenant for the last two years and conduct a very upscale resale establishment currently. Clayton Comstock came forward stating The Attic Resale is requesting a Special Use Permit to allow a secondhand dealer business at 7205 Boulevard 26, in the Greater Richland Shopping Center. They are currently located at 7213 Boulevard 26 and are requesting more additional space in the new suite. Staff does recommend approval of the SUP specific to the 2890 square feet lease area addressed at 7205 Boulevard 26 and subject to the record keeping commitments made by the applicants. There is a letter in your packets addressed to P &Z, City Council and Staff about some of their record keeping practices and policies moving forward. This is one of the main reasons why P &Z and City Council passed that ordinance and SUP requirement earlier this year for second hand dealer business for the record keeping purposes. Staff recommends that your motion be subject to those two items and anything else you would discuss or recommend. Chairman Shiflet opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak for or against the request. Sumer Morgan, 3402 Cliffwood Drive, Colleyville came forward stating she is part owner of 7213 Boulevard 26 with her mother, Della Greener. There was a slide presentation of the business showing their products are upscale resale with a very particular clientele. They are currently remodeling and excited about expanding their current business. Chairman Shiflet asked how long have you been at the current location. Ms. Greener said two years in August. Don Bowen asked if they did consignment or all resale. Ms. Morgan said we don't do consignment at this time and we also have some new items. Chairman Shiflet closed the Public Hearing and entertained a motion. APPROVED Bill Schopper motioned to approve SUP 2012 06 subject to the 2,890 lease space addressed as 7205 Boulevard 26 as well as the record keeping commitments made by the originator of this SUP request, "The Attic Resale ". The motion was seconded by Mark Haynes and passed unanimously (4 -0). C.3. ZC 2012 -11 Public Hearing and Consideration of a Request from Les Galler for a Zoning Change from 1 -2 Medium Industrial to CS Community Services on Lot 3R, Block 5, Industrial Park Addition at 5755 Rufe Snow Drive. Clayton Comstock came forward stating this request by the City of North Richland Hills on behalf of Les Galler, the property owner. We approached Mr. Galler asking if the City could rezone his property to allow him to move forward with issuance of Certificates of Occupancy for insurance agencies, nail salons and other types of uses he wants to put into his property location but cannot because he is zoned 1 -2. The 1 -2 zoning district does allow a number of office uses but there are other office uses specifically listed that are not permitted in 1 -2 district. The way this situation came up was because he came in applying for Certificate of Occupancy for an insurance agency and we had to deny him because it was not allowed in that zoning district. We told him we would process a zoning change for him due to the fact that we had allowed in the past certain office uses in his property without denying him. They were not caught by staff in the past, but now we are aware of them and moving forward would like to enforce any new uses that want to go into 1 -2 zoned property to be done correctly. Mr. Comstock continued saying we recommended to Mr. Galler and he agreed and is fully participating on this to change the zoning from 1 -2 to CS Community Services, which actually allows him more uses than he currently has. The property is located just south of the Cotton Belt Rail Line and west of Rufe Snow and is fully leased by a number of offices. Chairman Shiflet opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak on this matter, seeing none he entertained a motion. Chairman Shiflet mentioned that Staff might want to look into the property to the north with a dental office that is not in compliance. Clayton Comstock said we have spoken with the owner once we discovered the issue. We have conducted a search in the area of other businesses that would be impacted moving forward if they are to come in with like uses. There are about 4 or 5 different properties and we have begun conversations with most of them. We would tell them we would waive fees in the future if they would come in and change the zoning. APPROVED Don Bowen motioned to approve ZC 2012 -11 as proposed. The motion was seconded by Mark Haynes and passed unanimously (4 -0). D.1. Adjournment There being no other business, the meeting adjourned at 7:15 pm. Chairman Secretary 1 Randal Shiflet Don Bowen
