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 May 24, 2021 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 14 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.

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 May 24, 2021 City Council Meeting Minutes Page8of14 donations.

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.
