designated on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as urban village and the current zoning
is transit oriented development. Mr. Comstock provided site photos of the property.
Applicant representative John Allums, 14881 Quorum Drive, Suite 200, Dallas, Texas
presented request and was available to answer questions. He informed City Council they
are seeking slight modifications to the 2016 approved special development plan.
Mr. Mike Arbour with JHP Architecture located at 8340 Meadow Road, #150, Dallas,
Texas provided an overview of the proposed site plan. The first floor is dedicated to
retail, flex commercial, tuck-under garages (located on first level) and limited multi-family
uses on the ground floor. The project includes dedicated commercial space on the hard
corners facing Iron Horse Boulevard and a civic public plaza located in the center of the
block. The majority of the parking will be surface parking located between the buildings
and the existing railroad track. They also have head-in parking along Iron Horse
Boulevard for retail patrons.
Council member Compton inquired about the dog park that was on the original plan. She
noticed the dog park is not included in the plan presented tonight for consideration by
City Council.
Mr. Arbour informed City Council the project will include a dog park.
Council member Wright Oujesky asked if the flex space would be converted to
residential.
Mr. Arbour informed City Council the flex space would initially be residential that will be
designed to accommodate future commercial use.
Mr. Comstock presented staffs report. He shared that the flex commercial space is built
to commercial standards, which will be occupied with residential uses and will transition
into commercial uses as dictated by the market. The project includes 13,000 square feet
of dedicated commercial space; 16,600 square feet of flex commercial; proposed 16-foot
wide trail easement to allow for a 12-foot trail through the property; pedestrian
connections to the trail; one driveway to the project; gated community; and one
emergency access gate. The applicant has confirmed they would follow the transit
oriented development guidelines/standards. Mr. Comstock reviewed the previously
approved 2016 special development plan. He confirmed the 2016 plan included a dog
park. Staff will work with the applicant during the site plan review to incorporate a dog
park. Mr. Comstock recommended that City Council include the language in their motion
if they desire a dog park. The applicant's request proposes to reduce the amount of
dedicated commercial from 25,221 square feet to 13,000 square feet. Mr. Comstock
reviewed the special development plan conditions. The Planning and Zoning
May 24, 2021

Commission, at their May 6, 2021 meeting, recommended approval with a vote of 7-0.
Council member Wright Oujesky asked Mr. Comstock what will be the catalyst to change
the flex space from residential to commercial. Mr. Comstock informed City Council it will
be market driven and the property owner will be one to initiate the change.
Council member Wright Oujesky believes the motion should include language to address
when the flex space changes from residential to commercial.

civic open space and who is responsible for the maintenance of the common driveway.

The area is designated on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as office commercial and
the current zoning is C-1 commercial. Mr. Comstock provided site photos of the
property.
Applicant Lauren Ballentine, owner of Deep Dive Vintage presented request and was
available to answer questions. Ms. Ballentine informed City Council she was not aware
that she needed a special use permit because the prior tenant was retail. She

business in 2019.
Mr. Comstock presented staffs report. The applicant is requesting a special use permit
for a secondhand goods dealer. Mr. Comstock reviewed recommended improvements
should City Council approve the request that include: van-accessible parking space,
accessible route to building, parking spaces striped and screening shrubs between
parking lot and adjacent streets. Staff is in receipt of the application for sign permits,
which is contingent upon approval of their certificate of occupancy. The Planning and
Zoning Commission, at their May 6, 2021 meeting, recommended approval with a vote of
7-0, with the condition that products sold by the business be limited to vintage clothing
from 1950's to 1990's.
Mayor Pro Tem Turnage asked Mr. Comstock to review the use for this tract of land as
identified by the Land Use Plan.
Mr. Comstock informed City Council the land use plan designates the land as
office/commercial use and the current zoning for the property is C-1 commercial. The
property is located mid-block and between two intersections, which is more appropriate
ro riate
for professional/medical offices in the future.
Mayor Trevino asked Mr. Comstock to elaborate on current development on Davis
Boulevard. Mr. Comstock informed City Council the current development includes
professional office(s), medical office(s) and pad sites for office. Staff is in receipt of an
application for a church use to be located at Green Valley and Davis Boulevard.
Council member Compton asked Mr. Comstock if another secondhand goods dealer
would be allowed to operate out of the same location if the special use permit is approved
by City Council. Mr. Comstock informed City Council the special use permit expires
three years from the date of issue. The applicant, if approved, would be allowed to
operate beyond the three year period. If Deep Dive Vintage ceases to operate before
the expiration date, another secondhand goods dealer could operate under the special

use permit. If Deep Dive Vintage (or another secondhand goods dealer) ceases to
operate for more than six months after the three year period, the special use permit does
not extend to a future secondhand goods dealer.
Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Rodriguez asked if there is another business in the building and
if they have permits to operate. Mr. Comstock informed City Council the business owner
is present this evening and they have permit(s) to operate.
Council member Compton asked Mr. Comstock to explain the difference between
secondhand goods dealer and regular retail. Mr. Comstock informed City Council an
ordinance was passed in 2012 requiring the sale of used goods to have a special use
permit.
Associate Mayor Pro Tern Orr asked Mr. Comstock if the other business in the building
would be able to continue operating if the special use permit is denied by City Council.
Mr. Comstock informed City Council any business allowed by right in C1-commercial
can conduct business.
Mayor Trevino asked the City Secretary to call on those who completed a public meeting
appearance form to speak during the public hearing. There being no forms submitted,
Mayor Trevino asked if there was anyone in the audience wishing to speak for or against
the item to come forward.
Ms. Jana Hargrove, owner of Behance Beauty, operates out of the same building with
her daughter Lauren Ballentine. Ms. Hargrove clarified with Mr. Comstock that her
daughter's secondhand goods dealer use is specific to vintage clothing, and should her
business cease any subsequent secondhand goods dealer would need to be vintage
clothing. Ms. Hargrove commented that they are in the process of addressing the
landscaping, irrigation and parking.
Mr. Paul Edwards 2336 Clairborne Drive, Fort Worth, Texas spoke in favor of the request
and recommended City Council support Ms. Ballentine's business.
There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing.
Mayor Trevino asked City Council if they have additional questions for staff or the
applicant.
Council member Compton asked where the goods for the business come from that are
sold at Deep Dive Vintage. Ms. Ballentine informed City Council she works with other
businesses that buy and sell vintage clothing, estate sales, online with ebay and shop
from local thrift stores. Ms. Ballentine confirmed that she does not accept clothing

donations.
Associate Mayor Pro Tern Orr asked Mr. Comstock to respond to Ms. Hargrove's
comment regarding vintage only clothing to be sold at the business. Mr. Comstock
clarified that exhibit B of the proposed ordinance states that product sold by the business
are limited to vintage clothing from the 1950's to 1990's. This is the recommendation of
the Planning and Zoning Commission and the language was included in the ordinance.
Ms. Hargrove is correct that only a secondhand goods dealer that sells vintage clothing
from the 1950's to 1990's would be allowed.

future land use on a main boulevard in the city. Mr. Comstock confirmed that the item

recommendation of the Development Review Committee is to have a fire lane go into the
site and fire lanes are required to be 24' in width.
Mayor Trevino asked Mr. Comstock if City Council could limit the types of vehicles
allowed to park on the property. Mr. Comstock informed City Council they have the
authority to limit the vehicles, but it would be problematic for code enforcement.

use requested by Mr. Edwards. Mr. Comstock informed City Council vehicle storage
area must be screened in accordance with Section 118-876 of the zoning ordinance.
The storage area must be screened around its entire perimeter with a 20' wide
