He also mentioned the applicant proposes an eight-foot masonry wall next to the Takara restaurant. Applicant representatives Mehrdad Moayedi and Trevor Kollinger with Centurion American, located at 1800 Valley View Lane, Suite 300, Farmers Branch presented request. Mr. Moayedi informed City Council they have been working with staff for approximately six months. He reviewed his vision for the mixed-use project. The project will include approximately 60,000 - 70,000 square foot of retail, with approximately half of the square footage being dedicated to restaurants. He informed City Council that Centurion American will build and own the restaurants located off City Point Drive. He mentioned that he does not have any plans to lease the restaurants. The remaining retail is designed for small privately owned businesses. Mr. Moayedi informed City Council they are requesting the ability to build either garden style or podium-style multi-family buildings. The residential component includes a combination of multi-family and single-family units. Mr. Moayedi commented that they have been in discussions with Medical City North Hills to lease land located in the floodplain for a dog park and open August 12, 2019 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 14 space. The residential area will have an amenity center. Mr. Kollinger commented that the development will link the existing trails located to the north and west throughout the project. Mr. Kollinger reviewed the remaining items identified by the Development Review Committee. Centurion American has agreed to the following: install a masonry wall to provide a fencing adjacent to City Hall property; remove the laydown curb in the bungalow district and utilize stamped/stained driveways; limit building height to two stories adjacent to City Point United Methodist Church, which is located at the southwest corner next to the Spanos project, and to build a masonry wall (6-foot in height); single family architectural standards and removal of the city south open space; and agreed with staff to use the current code adopted by the city. The final item for discussion is the request for 18-inch single family foundation elevation. Staff seeks 18 inches and Centurion American is requesting 12 inches because the setback is three feet for urban homes and five feet for townhomes. Council, staff and the applicant discussed the hotel, elevation for single family foundations, wall along Highway 26 (adjacent to Takara), water elements in the development, permits being issued under the city's current adopted building codes and the proposed dog park (adjacent to Randy Morresi Trail). In response to questions from City Council, Mr. Moayedi commented that the limited service hotel would not include a restaurant, but may have a coffee bar with breakfast service in the morning. The hotel will also have conference/meeting space. The planned development outlines a minimum of 625 square feet. Mr. Moayedi informed City Council most limited service hotels have 4,000 square feet of conference space that can be broken down and used for smaller events. He advised City Council that he is talking concept, because they do not have a brand for the hotel. Mr. Comstock informed City Council the exhibits presented by staff and the applicant tonight have been updated after the agenda packet was provided to City Council. If City Council favors the presentation and exhibits discussed this evening, they will need to reference exhibits in their motion. The two outstanding items--finished floor elevations (minimum of 18 inches) and 2018 Energy Code--are included in the ordinance. If changes are needed, City Council will need to include those in their motion. The development encompasses 51.945 acres, with 8.5 acres of commercial, 7 acres of multifamily, 25 acres of single family and 3.5 acres of open space. The development will provide access off Glenview Drive. Mr. Comstock informed City Council the development may not have proper number (1 space per 250 square feet) of parking spaces to accommodate restaurant patrons. The applicant will conduct a parking study prior to platting and site planning to assess parking requirements. They will look at off-site shared parking and adjacent shared parking with City Hall, which will be included in the parking study. The parking study will take into consideration business hours, public August 12, 2019 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 8 of 14 meetings and after-hours use of City Hall. Mr. Comstock provided an outline of development standards. He reviewed how applicant worked with staff to address Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendations, less the 18-inch finished floor elevations. Mr. Comstock explained the importance of the 18-inch finished floor elevation. The setbacks in the proposed development are similar to town center and transit oriented development. Staff has interpreted and applied the 18-inch finished floor elevation as an average along the street or block. The purpose of the requested 18-inch finished floor elevation is to differentiate between public and private space and to provide a vertical separation. Developers in home town and transit oriented development areas have abided by and provided the 18-inch floor elevation. In response to Mayor Trevino's question, Mr. Comstock commented that he urges City Council maintain course regarding town center and transit oriented development, with respect to the 18-inch finished floor elevation. He commented that the minimum 12-inch finished floor elevation would be sufficient for this development. Mr. Comstock informed City Council that staff seeks direction on the fence type for the wall to be located north of the police building. This evening, the applicant informed staff they would provide a thin brick wall, similar to the one proposed behind the United Methodist Church. Mr. Comstock informed City Council the thin brick wall is not included in the exhibits provided this evening. City Council will need to include language in their motion to address the wall located at the northwest corner of the bungalow district being a thin wall. Lastly, staff needs City Council's direction regarding hotel conditions. Mr. Comstock explained the difference between a full-service hotel and limited service hotel is a restaurant. The zoning allows for a full-service and limited service hotel. Staff recommends City Council remove "economy" from definition of a limited service hotel. Mr. Comstock reviewed the following possible additional amenities / design standards: remove "economy" from the definition of limited service hotel; lobby porte-cochere; bar; workout/gym facility; larger meeting room space; breakfast dining area; additional design element (water feature, sculpture, public art, etc. at building entrance); guest rooms accessed through main lobby; surveillance cameras at all entrances and parking areas; no residence or extended stay hotels or suites limited to a specific percentage of guest rooms; and minimum of 100 guest rooms. The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their July 18, 2019 meeting, recommended approval with a vote of 4-1; with Commissioner Welborn voting against. Staff recommends approval, subject to clarifying and closing out any outstanding conditions from the Planning and Zoning Commission. City Council discussed the additional hotel amenities outlined by staff and the outstanding concerns. The consensus was to include 1,500 minimum square feet of meeting space in the hotel and 12-inch average for finished floor elevations within the development. Mayor Trevino asked the City Secretary to call on those who completed a public meeting August 12, 2019 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 9 of 14 appearance form to speak during the public hearing.
