2002 CITY as a result, the City would have to go around the

alternatives. Mr. Curtis advised a couple of
options had been looked at but this one was the
most economical. Mr. Curtis briefed the Council
on the situation. Council questioned whether

Attorney Staples explained the original
agreements still apply - there is a master
document.
Agenda Item 6f - PU 2002-038 - City Manager
Cunningham advised Council they had been
provided a revised cover sheet. When the
analysis was done, TML's annual discount for

PZ 2002-17 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN APPEAL
FROM FRANK M. PLEASANT FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT (SUP)
FOR A SECONDARY LIVING UNIT AT 7213 TURNER TERRACE
(DENIED BY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION) -
ORDINANCE NO. 2656
APPROVED
Mr. Frank M. Pleasant, applicant, advised the Council the Planning and Zoning
Commission denied his request for a special use permit for a secondary living unit by a
vote of 4-3. Council approved in November of last year an ordinance allowing
secondary living units or mother-in-law units in single family zoning with a special use
permit. Mr. Pleasant requested Council to reconsider his request.
The Council asked Mr. Pleasant several questions. Mr. Pleasant was asked if he was
aware of the deed restrictions, how he would use the structure at some point in future
when it is no longer needed for the intended purposes today and whether he had
considered adding on to his house.
Mr. Pleasant advised Council that he was not aware of the deed restrictions before he
began the process. Mr. Pleasant could not say what he would do with the property in
the future, but that he would not rent it out. He also advised that he did not want to
build on to the back of his house because of an existing deck.
The Attorney was asked to address whether the city enforced deed restrictions.
Mr. Staples advised the City did not enforce deed restrictions and explained to Council
the reason. Mr. Staples explained that ordinances do not overrule the deed restrictions.
He further advised that zoning and deed restrictions are separate.

Mr. Pleasant was asked about building a covered breezeway connecting the main
structure with the secondary structure.
The City Attorney said Mr. Pitstick advised him if the roof lines were connected, Mr.
Pleasant would not need a Special Use Permit.
Mr. Pitstick summarized the case and presented the recommendation of the Planning &
Zoning Commission. Mr. Pitstick advised of the criteria that a secondary meeting unit
must meet - permitted in any single family residential district after approval of a Special
Use Permit; unit is to be used by the property owner and family or a relative of the
occupants of the primary residence; unit shall not be rented or leased; on lots less than
~ acre in size, a walkway or similar feature shall connect the primary and secondary
structure; if larger than ~ acre connection is not required; unit must meet the same
architectural style as the primary structure; all standards must be met except for
minimum gross living area, requirement for a garage/carport, and off-street parking; unit
shall not have a separate utility meter. The Planning & Zoning Commission
recommended denial. Mr. Pitstick advised of a petition from the surrounding property
owners that meets state law requirements and will require a three-fourths Council vote
to approve the appeal.
There was extensive discussion on the connection of the two units with the roofline.
Staff was asked to get the information from the Building Code concerning connecting
the roofline and the interpretation by our Building Official

LRC 2002-01 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST BY SAM PACK OF
PACK PROPERTIES FOR APPROVAL OF VARIANCES FROM ORDINANCE NO.
2473 LANDSCAPE REGULATIONS- ORDINANCE NO. 2655
APPROVED
Mr. Tony Pack, applicant, informed council he is seeking the following variances:
15' landscape buffer adjacent to residential property
required landscape islands in new parking lot
15' landscape buffer on 800 linear feet adjacent to Loop 820 frontage
required landscape (trees) every 50 feet on 800 linear feet adjacent to Loop
820
The applicant is seeking the above variances due to the Loop 820 widening, which will
cause applicant to lose property and 300 parking spaces. Although Five Star Ford will
be compensated for any loss of property by the State, Mr. Pack stated that he could not
afford to lose additional parking spaces without affecting the dealership.
Councilman Welch said that he would like to see a wrought iron fence along Rufe
Snow.
Mr. Pack said that he would submit the idea to his father, but did not think he would
agree to a wrought iron fence because it would hide their product.
Mr. Pack asked council if they would be in opposition to additional landscaping instead
of the wrought iron fence.
Mayor Pro Tem Metts asked Mr. Pack to reconsider erecting a wrought iron fence.
Mr. Pitstick advised council the site plan went before the Planning and Zoning
Commission, but did not have the authority to grant variances. Mr. Pack is requesting
to have the existing 15-foot landscape buffer, which is partially located on his property,
serve as the required 15-foot landscape buffer. Mr. Pack is willing to add eight (8)
additional trees on the property. Staff encouraged Mr. Pack to meet with the
Homeowners Association (HOA) of the adjacent Meadow Lakes Subdivision to see if
they would be in agreement with proposal. Mr. Pack has met with the HOA and staff
has not received any calls or negative comments from the Homeowners Association.
The second variance being requested is for required landscape islands. Per the
landscape ordinance a landscape tree island is required for a new parking lot. The third
variance is for a 15-foot landscape buffer. Mr. Pack is proposing a variance to vary the
15-foot landscape buffer on the 800 feet on the west portion of the property. Staff has
contacted Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) and understands that they
would allow landscaped areas to be maintained by adjacent owners provided that the

State approves the final landscaped plan. Five Star Ford is requesting to use the grass
portion of the future freeway as the required 15-foot landscaped buffer. Mr. Pack
advised that he would irrigate the area. The last variance is for the placement of trees
every 50 feet on the 800 linear feet adjacent to Loop 820. Currently the City requires
one tree every 50 feet and Mr. Pack is requesting one (1) tree every 100 feet. Mr.
Pitstick informed council that the request before council tonight is the recommendation
of the Planning and Zoning Commission when they considered Five Star Ford's site
plan.
Councilman Whitson asked how large the greenbelt will be adjacent to Loop 820
frontage and if the greenbelt will have shrubs.
Mr. Pitstick advised council that Mr. Pack has trees on his property with an irrigation
system that runs the entire length of the 800 linear feet. Mr. Pack would landscape the
area, but does not want to add any more trees. Mr. Pack did say that he would be
willing to put in the necessary shrubs in TXDOT's right-of-way.
Mr. Curtis informed council that the greenbelt is about 15 to 20 feet in width.
Councilman Tolbert asked if there was any measure that staff can take to be certain
that applicant would maintain the landscaping.
Mr. Cunningham advised council that a provision could be included to stipulate that the
State's right-of-way would be under the City's landscape ordinance and to the greatest
extent allowed by the State.
Mr. Curtis advised council that TXDOT would require the City to enter into a
maintenance agreement for any landscaping that is in the right-of-way. The City can
require same or similar agreement with the property owner.
Mayor Trevino opened the public hearing and asked for anyone wishing to speak in
opposition of request to come forward.
Mr. Julian Perez, 6705 Corona, was not in opposition to request, but wanted to ask
questions about the proposed lighting for Five Star Ford. Mr. Perez was advised that
the lights would be addressed in Mr. Pack's site plan.
There being no one else wishing to speak in opposition Mayor Trevino asked for
anyone wishing to speak in favor of request to come forward.
Mr. Charles Hoffman, 4917 Delta Court, spoke in favor of request.
Mr. Pack's attorney Oscar Mohkamkar advised council that Mr. Pack is proposing to
have a guardrail. Mr. Mohkamkar does not think that an ornamental fence is prettier

that the applicant would be required to comply with the current ordinance. The current
ordinance states that no light can shine or be directed onto adjacent property.
Councilman Whitson asked Mr. Curtis if the right-in/right-out on the east side of the

ordinance follows Texas statutes and takes advantage of state and federal cases,
which have litigated the constitutional issues, and provides guidance and precedent.
The following are the basic provisions of the new ordinance:
provisions in the ordinance restricted these businesses to the Industrial Zoning
District, at least 1,000 feet from the nearest church, school, park, residence,
residentially zoned property, and other sexually oriented businesses
the definition of "principal" as used to define the principal use of a business as a
sexual oriented business is 35% of the sale volume, stock in trade or display areas
registered massage therapist are exempted from the definition of sexually oriented
businesses consistent with State law requirements
the terms "adult bookstore" and "adult video store" are redefined to eliminate
confusion concerning items which cannot logically or legally be defined as books or
videos
sexually oriented businesses are prohibited within 500 feet of Loop 820
the new ordinance specifies an annual license with a $500 fee
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the request to recommend changing
the nomenclature from "Adult Entertainment Establishment" to "Sexually Oriented
Businesses" and permitting them only in the 1-2 Industrial zoning district.
Mayor Trevino asked Mr. Pitstick to address why the City is allowing the Sexually
Oriented Businesses to locate in 1-2.
Mr. Pitstick advised council by law the City has to allow for all uses. The council does
not have to approve them, but allow for the uses in our community.
Mayor Trevino called for comments in favor of request to come forward. There being
no one wishing to speak Mayor Trevino called for comments opposed to come forward.
There being no one wishing to speak Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing.
