Excuse me on one lot on 0.1 acre. Located on the west side of Kay Avenue, 1285ft south of Spring Creek Parkway. Zoned corridor commercial petitioner, Oak Point Plaza one, LLC. This item is for legislative consideration. Consideration Good evening. My name is Destini Woods, plaer with the planning department. The applicant is requesting a specific use permit for a used vehicle dealer within the existing building at 5025 K Avenue. The image on the right shows the aerial image of the subject property. The zoning exhibit was submitted to show the boundaries of the proposed zoni request, and this part of the exhibit provides a closerxhr look at the suite that will be used for the operations. In 2000, the site was rezoned from Light Industrial One to Corridor Commercial as part of a city initiated effort to rezone the US highway. US highway 75 corridor excuse me. In 2023. The site was developed with retail and office showroom warehouse buildings that are currently vacant. The proposed use is a used vehicle dealer. The dealership will specialize in the sale of classic cars and all vehicle inventory will be stored within a 2708 square foot suite in an existing building located toward the rear of the subject property. With the addition of the proposed use, the specific use permit will add the restriction that outdoor vehicle staging and storage are prohibited. The subject property is located within the Suburban Activity Center category on the Future Land Use map. This request is in conformance with and would not require improvements to the thoroughfare thoroughfare plan map, bicycle transportation plan map, park's master Plan map, or expressway corridor. Environmental health map. The proposed use vehicle dealer will not impact the built environment and will respect the development pattern of the surrounding area, as required by the redevelopment and growth Management policy of the Comprehensive Plan. The area is guided by the Envision Oak Point Small Area Plan, which is an extension of the Comprehensive Plan and provides greater direction on the community's vision for the specific location. The subject property is within an area designated as a commercial node by the Envision Oak Point Community Vision Map. Commercial node areas serve as employment centers and accommodate a mix of office, retail, and commercial buildings. A typical used vehicle dealership with outdoor storage and display would not be consistent with the commercial node designation. However, staff finds the applicant's request for indoor sales only within an existing building to be an appropriate transitional use for the propert extensive redevelopment of the area is proposed. There are no.o proposed improvements associated with the use. The request does not impact the development. The commercial node character defining elements are not applicable and the request does not imst does not impact the policies of the Envision Oak Point area Plan. The proposed use vehicle dealership will result in no change to the current mix of uses. This request does not impact the development of the property. Therefore, the commercial node character defining elements are not applicable and the scope of the request would not require improvements applicable to the envision Oak Point community. Vision map. Staff received one letter in support within the property boundary. Two letters in support within the 200 foot buffer were received. And in total staff received four responses. Two were in support and two were in opposition. This request for a specific use permit for used Vehicle dealer is in conformance with the recommendations and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends this request for approval with the following restriction that outdoor vehicle storage and staging are prohibited. And I'm happy to answer any questions you may have Mr. Wood. So do we have any technical questions for staff? Mr. Bruno, does the application specify that this is a showroom for, like, classic cars? The application does not. But the pre-application meeting in that meeting, it was specified, would the staff's recommendation be any different if itstricted to I don't believe the classic car aspect is, motivating the is, me recommendation. I believe it's the operation of the business and that there would not be any outdoor vehicle storage or display, that's motivating this decision. Okay. Also on the map that you showed with the multicolored squares on it is it shows this one. Yes. That one. Thank you. Just to below and to the left of the yellow star in the middlein the middle is. Looks like an icon indicating a train, there's a track there, in use. So there are no trains running there. What's the purpose of the. The train icon? That's to show future what the area is supposed to be designed for with the Envision Oak Point plan, and it was included to make it known that the site is not preparing any development. So that plan would not be affected. I mean, is that intended to show like future expansion of the Dart light rail line north from Parker Road? Yes. Okay Is that just a theoretical idea, or is theoretical idea, or is that a something that's in the works? I don't know. It's something that's been discussed with dart. There was a member of the dart organization on the steering committee that was part of creating this plan. And it is in their long term interest to extend the up here, I believe dart actually owns it up to this point, but they would probably not extend it unless cities to the north of us were to join Dart. Okay. If that line were to be built, would that impact the staff's recommendation as to this particular application? would not, because this request does not propose any development on the site. It's only, inside. So it wouldn't influence staff decision in this case. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Any other questions, Commissioner, on the outdoor, the way the staff report is written, its scope is restricting outdoor vehicle staging and storage. I presume that includes a definition of display. So that of display. So that even on a Saturday, they can't line cars up on the street with for salerr anything else out there. I just want to make sure that that is completely clear, that is completely clear, that there won't be any display, even on the weekends. Is that. That's correct. Yes. Staging would include display. Staging is the term the ordinance uses for that exact. Okay. I just want to make sure what the definition was. Okay.. So I have a question. The movement of these vehicles in vehicles in and out of the building. Do we have you mentioned, air quality? And I'm wondering what the air quality internal to the building is going to be if automobiles are started and moved in and out of the building, isn't there? Wouldn't we have some concern with particulate matter and air quality, for there wouldn't be something that's addressed at the time of zoning that would be a building code isthey come in g permits, if there's any type of circulation system required, it would be looked at at that time based on the building type. I'm sorry. Say that again. It would be looked at at the time of building permit by our building inspections department, based on what's proposed, if they needed it, you said it was based on building type, building type and use for the zoning per the building code, not the zoning ordinance. So do we know if they're, in fact going to be pushing these vehicles in and out or starting them and driving them in and out? Well there are garage doors on the back of the buildings, so is our assumption they'll be driving them in and out of the building. Okay. And so then I can rest comfortably assured that the building inspections people will building inspections people will make sure that the air quality is. And particulate matter is appropriately addressed at that point via the HVAC or so forth, you're getting out of our expertise here in planning department, but confidence in the building those are required, based on the operations of the building, that it will be required at will be t time. Okay. Thank you. Just piggybacking on that. I mean, we have a number of car dealerships in Plano, most of themowrooms al that they move cars in and out of there. So, I mean, I guess unless they were running them constantly. Well, my concern was, is we're retrofitting something rather than designing something. Yeah. Commissioner, if I can answer that, because I build those facilities for a living, there are there are some very defined codes about carbon monoxide, particulate matter, carbon monoxide detectors a fans, depending upon how many vehicles, how much they're going to be moving. ET cetera. ET movT cetera. So and Plano, of all the places I've ever worked, has some very defined rules about that and is very particular abrtable that the building department will address it. Okay, perfect. I mean, right here we have our own subject matter expert. How lucky is that? Commissioner Bronsky are you are you okay? Okay.ay. Commissioner lolly, sos the use approved with sup in this area? So in Sup would be required for this use to be allowed in this area? Yes. So it is allowed use with an sup? That's correct. And like my other question is, you know, like the staff said, it's like a transitional, allowance. You know, like if we approve it, it's going to be like a transitional until the a transitional until the area fully developed. So what happened with the Sup? Because it stays with the land, right? Yes. That's correct. It would still be there, but o what's happened? If you like the, you know, like the whole area develop the sup was like something like verbiage. It says, you know, like for now it's allowed. But you like whenn the, the whole area, the retail offices and everything developed, what what's going to happen? It zoning in place from before the small area plan was adopted. It still has that zoning. So to the anticipated, what would happen here,, what would happen here, what we anticipate is that they would come in for a rezoning change to build in accordance with the small area plan. At that point, we would rescind the specific use permit. Okay So if it's no longer appropriate. Okay. Thank you hae small question. Just, this looks like they are only going to use part of this one building, am I in error or. I heard comments earlier that there might be more buildings. How many buildings are involved in this? There are three buildings on the site, and there's one buildins one buildie suite is located in. Yeah. So and it's a portion of one building, not three buildings. Right? That's correct. It's a portion of one building. Great. Okay. Awesome. Commissioner? Yes, sir. Go ahead, just a quick question. In just a hypothetical, if there's a case where the cars are parked outside, how long do they outsis considered, quote unquote, storage? So there's violation. There would be no instance where the There would be no instance where the cars associated with the used vehicle dealer would be allowed to be parked outside. The only cars able to be parked. Okay How? I'm not a ca? I'm notr aficianado, but if I'm a customer who drives in there with my classic car, how do I. r associated to the operation of associated to the operation of the business versus a car that is coming to visit the business? I think that might need to be addressed with our Property standards division. When it comes to enforcing that. The zoning ordinance is being followed, yes. Yeah. I believe it's more of a it's intended here so that, you know, in the event they start parking cars along the street with for sale signs, that's what it's intended to prevent, not the one off car being parked in the customer parking for a few minutes. You know, that's not really the idea here. It's to prevent the display like a typical used vehicle lot would have them all out in a parking lot along the street with for sale signs. So it's the conjunction with the display. It's kind of like the restriction we put in. Okay. Correct Thank you. It's really meant to kind of control the expansion of this business outside those walls. Is that correct? Yes that's correct. Okay. Any other questions. Yes, ma'am. Go ahead., is the applicant going to address us? Okay. Because like I have a couple of questions on the like the area and the layout of the like, how many cars she's going to be parking inside if it's like, yeah. So okay. Yeah I do believe we're going to get addressed here. Anything else? Okay. Great. I just want to add I think we've been tossing around classic cars, which I believe is the term staff report used, but I believe classic cars may not be the correct content based on, the applicant slides. Collector car may be a better a better word. Okay correct. Great. Okay. Well thank you. I will now open the public hearin. Does the applicant wish to address the commission? Yes. Come on up and give us your name and address, please. Yes, sir, Jamie Maria, one of the co-owners of P1 Motorworks. Addresses, 1707 Woodsboro Court in Allen, Texas. 75013. So thank you all for your time today. I'm happy to go through a presentation, then address the specific questions. Mr. Bronsky, etc. So if we could go to the next slide, if you wouldn't mind, you can actually control the. Oh fantastic. I love technology. Well, as long as I can figure it out. Okay, perfect. So a little bit of background about us, myself and my partners have been in the automotive industry for about 20 plus years. We're actually enthusiasts. First, we started this business a few years back. And really the reason we did actually launch the business itself was based on poor busines itself was based on poor experiences that we had experienced as, purchasing vehicles, etc. so we really modt is out there and really make it a much more it a much more enjoyable experience for folks who are actually purchasing vehicles. And the vehicles that we typically deal with are more collector grade vehicles. So they include classic exotics and just all types of vehicles. And we can show you some examples throughout, through the presentation. But the reality is our goal is to really transform the automotive industry. And transform the automotive industry. And from a sales perspective, we're eliminating hidden fees much better and more to information n vehicles, everything from the condition to what they're getting as far as the vehicle itself, we are enthusiasts and we know the vehicles that we're purchasing, and we try to educate ourr clients as much as possible. And then lastly, the customer is the priority. So it's really an experience for folks. People are buying these vehicles. It's not their daily driver. It's a it's an asset that they're purchasing. That's hopefully going to appreciate that they can enjoy with their families. Let's see. Let's see. Might not hitting the right button. Okay. Perfect. All righ. So just to give you some background on the business itself, we are a we are a low volume dealer. We on average do about ten vehicles per month. That's probably on the high end. The average vehicle price point that we're selling is about $105,000. So the it is for us particularly we do not store vehicles outside. They're too, too expensive to do that. So we're very, very particular about them being inside stored just from the asset value themselves. So from a revenue standpoint, just to give you a sense of kind of the volume that we're doing and're estimating this year, the, the location that we're coming here to speak about today is very much a destination. We're not going to be doing any sort of work on the vehicles there. It's very much almost like, very much almost like, think about it. When a purchase is someone's purchasing a vehicle, it's a place to do celebration, take pictures, do the signing moment itself, it's a smaller location, so we plan to probably not have more than 5 to 7 carssd out, we will drive the cars in and out just to get them there. But beyond that, we're not having them on. And they're obviously just from carbon monoxide etcetera. And we store that. And Mr. Ratliff spoke about that. There's different ventilation and things that we do, and we do that at our other garage in Allen as well, just for safety perspective. So we want to be very safe about that. But again, it's very much a destination for our clients to come by. We're an appointment only, so there's not a lot of foot traffic. You're not going to see not going to see a lot of parking there where people are going to just be showing up. It's very much a destination that they have to call. And again, it's going to be clients who are coming to pick up their vehicles for the most part, tha transactions are out of state. So most of our clients actually don't even see the vehicle until it's delivered to them. So a lot t of it is digital. So if you take a look at our website, we have a lot of videos, pictures when we transact with our clients we do a lot of FaceTime calls, etc. so many cases our clients are across the country and we'll actu actually they won't even come to Dallas. They won't even see it here. And it'll end up in their driveway and they'll celebrate at home. But the reality is, again, just to reiterate, the vehicles are never stored outside. We don't do any sort of display. We're not a lot dealer by any means. We're kind of changing the model. It's very much a internet experience, very, very digital itself. So.. So this gives you n example of the kind of vehicles that we're curating. So we're we typically acquire vehicles through private collections through we don't go to auctions. We buy them from private world, and effectively our client base is actually pretty, pretty small. It's very much word of mouth. We don't do a lot of advertising. A lot of it is based on referrals by other clients. And effectively, the vehicles that we're curating are vehicles that hopefully they can enjoy drive. Pass through their family as an asset. Or if they do sell, it's something that they enjoyed and actually frankly potentially will make some money on. So it's actually an investment they can enjoy. So it just gives you an example of the kind of vehicles everything from classic American to Italian, German, etc. So kind of whatever suits everyone's fancy. So, so as far as our spaces. So if you take a look so these are renderings of kind of our current space up in Allen. So if you take a look athe top left, that's the kind of space that we have. So it's very much a destination where the vehicle is stored, we're not is stored, we're not kind of a high volume dealer. Again, it's very much where our clients will come take a look at the vehicle that they've actually purchased, sign and enjoy it very much. Kind of a meeting and hangout spot, our goal is to do a very much similar concept with the Plano location, take advantage of kind of this great footprint, this we my wife grew up in Plano, so we know Collin County very well. The 75 corridor is actually great for us because it gives us access to DFW love field up and down the corridor as well. So our clients can can meet there whenever they need to. But again, the only vehicles that frankly would be outside would be our employee, the one employee, or myself and the client. So Max would be 1 or 2 vehicles outside. That would be the clients. So there's not going to be any vehicles from the lot outside or our inventory of, say. And then lastly, just a quick background on myself and my partner. So I've been a corporate executive for the last 25 years across technology, vent last 25 years across technology, venture and private equity. I'm a car guy since the day I was born, my focus within the business is the customer experi, buying and selling, my partner, he's more on kind of the operations buying marketing side of it. He's the one who did this presentation, and again, he's a he's an auto investor and kind of an enthusiast as well. And then lastly, just some some background on us. You can take a look at our website P1 Motorworks. Com our social media on Instagram. And then feel free to take a look at our reviews on n Google. We're very proud of the five star reviews that we've got there across the country. So with that, I'm happy to answer. Fantastic. Thank you. So, I have to remind myself because very interesting subject. And remind myself that we're here for land use because I probably have a thousand questions for you that have nothing to do with it. But you answered two of them. You showed me your favorite car,owe, which would have been one of my questions, but anyway, so do we have any questions for the applicant? Mr. Like yes. Yes how big is your like you have other locations, right? Correct? Correct. How big is the space? That space is approximately 2000ft■!S. So that's where we da lot of the work. It's about the same. The space will have in Plano will be a little bit bigger, we're going to use it as more of a showroom showcase. The space we have in Allen is a two story location, so we have that, but it's not. This is it's this is much better suited. It's a better layout for what we're hoping to accomplish. So if you saw the picture, yes, yes. We go back to slide. You'll see kind of what we're the goal we're hoping for as far as what it will look like I apo look like e middle location if you see the where the gray floors. That's kind of our goal for this location. Obviously not with this many vehicles, but kind of much more open concept. Correct. And Lincoln, do you do any repairs on these cars? No. I know like you're not going to do it on. Do I personally. No, no I mean you're like so where do you do the repairs. We have offsite. We have partners that we work with because these vehicles require very kind of very specialized workmanship. So we send we have partnerships with different dealerships across the metroplex. Okay. So thank you. Yeah Unfortunately I'm not handy at all. So Commissioner Raleigh any questions here, just one, just to clarify it sounds like, to Commissioner Bronski's earlier, comment. It sounds, because this is going to be a hangout space, the probability that, any particular vehicle is running within that confined space, for a long period of time from a particulate matter perspective, is low, am I correct in that assumption? 100%? Absolutely. We don't we don't run them inside there because obviously carbon monoxide and it's just not safe. So yeah, okay. Good. Thank you. Okay. Great are there any registered speakers for this time? We have two registered speakers. Mr. Ranpura and Michael Hope. And also they both registered in support of the item. Okay Thank you. Thank you. Hi there. My name is Michael Hope. My address is P.O. box 427, Addison, Texas 75001, I am here as a representative of the property owner, and I just wanted to comment on the property owners excitement at having this type of business interested in the property. We believe it's a low impact use for the neighborhood. We believe it's a low impact use for the property. It fits very well, with the with Oak Point and certainly as it transitions into a new identity and we have been selective with our leasing because we wan selective with our leasing because we want to attract high quality businesses such as this. And we hope to have a veryith Pr Works. And I think that they will really help to sethe tone for our our property as well as the neighborhood. And we hope that you view their application favorably their application favorably. Great. Thank you. Caller. Next speaker, please. He was our last speaker. Oh, he was our sure. Go ahead. Mike, can I ask you a quick question? Yes, sir. The, HVAC for this particular I see it's part of the same building, the HVAC for this facility. Will it be inclusive or will it? Is there a possibility that any HVAC would go into other spaces? The HVAC for this particular space will be limited to this space. It will not affect any of the other suites or occupants of the building. Okay. Thank you. Good. Okayding. Okay. Thank you. Good. Okay great. Well thank you. Oh go ahead, Commissioner, I have a quick question regarding this site, do you think the entrances of the site will be big enough for, like a 18 Wheeler ten cars in and out? I do the way the property was designed. It's got a circular's got a circular flow with the fire lane. And so I believe it would not be a problem at all for an 18 Wheeler to achieve. The positioning it needs to, to unload and offload the cars. I'm not worried about that at all. Okay? It's not going to cause any traffic outside of the 18 wheelers. It does not have to park outside on the street. You're confident about that, right? Yes. I'm very confident that it can park on site, to again to offload and unload cars and it shouldn't. We're far enough away from spring Creek, about a several hundred feet. So there shouldn't be any issues there with the vehicle pulling out to go either direction on Avenue North or Seeing no other questions, I will now close the public hearing and confine close public hearing and confine comments to the Commission I move, we approve this agenda item as recommended by staff. Okay Second. Oh go ahead okay. And before we vote, I mean were there any comments before we vote? Yes. Just a quick comment. There was a small number of responses opposed to the request. I'm thinking that they probably had in mind that this was going to be a regular lot based used car dealer, which this is not. So I think this we're dealing with a completely different animal in this pe of case with which I would have reservations if this were a typical lot type used car dealer, in that particular area. But but as an indoor only area, a dealer selling collectible cars, I think it's fine. Okay, fantastic. So without any other questions, we have a motion by Commissioner Bronsky and a second by who made the second Commissioner, Lolly. So let's vote, please. And yes, that that motion passes by 7 to 0. Agenda item number three. Zoning case 2020 4-0 13. Request to rezone from Light Industrial one to plan development. Light Industrial one to modify the standards for many warehouse public storage uses on 12.6 acres located on the north side of Mapleshade Lane, 230ft east of Ohio Drive and within the 190 Tollway Plano Parkway.

I will now open the public hearing. Do we have an applicant that wishes to address the commission? We do not. Okay. Then I guess we have any registered speakers. We do not either, do we? We do not.

I move we table agenda item number four, to the September 3rd, 2024 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, as recommended by staff.

The presiding Officer will permit limited public comment for items on the agenda not posted for a public hearing. The presiding Officer will establish time limits based upon the number of speaker requests, length on the agenda and to ensure meeting efficiency, and may include a total time limit. Agenda item number five preliminary site plan and concept plan. What site condition block one, lots two and five retail and restaurant with drive through on lot two and restaurant with a drive through on lot five on 2.2 acres. Located on the south side regional commercial and located within the Dallas North Tollway overlay district. Applicant Waszek Light. This item is for administrative consideration. The applicant is proposing a retail and restaurant building on the eastern lot and the western lot on the screen is a proposed future retail and restaurant building that they are not intending to building at this time. Here is the associated preliminary site plan and concept plan and with this request, the applicant is requesting to reduce the required 30 foot landscape buffer down to 15ft due to a proposed right turn lane and easements within this buffer. And the zoning ordinance does allow the Planning and Zoning Commission to reduce the width of the required landscape edge. If the reduction is required for public improvements, such as these. And it's recommended for approval with a reduction in the landscape edge to accommodate a right turn lane into the property. I'm happy to answer any questions. Okay. Thank you. Do we have any questions for staff? Commissioner Ratliff? Yeah. So on the site plan, it doesn't look like they're building into that landscape. Buffer. Are they wanting to extend the parking there across the front like they did on the adjacent lot? It doesn't look like they're trying to proposing to build anything in the 30ft. So they're proposing a right turn lane, which they'll have to modify their property line for. And then there's also a five foot street sidewalk and utility easement, as well as a 15 foot Texas utility electric easement, which here, but typically within those easements, you can't have any sort ofou can't have any sort of shrubs or trees, but there is still 15ft left where they can plant the required trees. Okay, so what what really they're saying is that there's only a 15 foot planting area because of the. So they're still set back 30ft from the road. It'll be green. It'll just be grass and a sidewalk and a sidewalk. Okay, so there's still this right distance from the road. They're just not technically in a landscape. Yes. Arrangement. So, okay, that answers my question. Thank you. Other questions. Commissioner Olli, what's the 30 foot landscr a buffer or a 30 foot buffer? A 30 foot landscape buffer or edge from the property line along Woodhaven Parkway is the requirement. They're requesting to go down to 15ft. And within that area, for my education. What? Go ahead. Sorry. Within that area, they're required to plant a certain number of trees per linear foot of frontage. And the reason for, the specificity on it being a landscape buffer, a 30 foot landscape buffer is what? Just to obscure from the street. Yes. All properties are required to have a landscape edge or buffer along their property. It provides headlight screening and just beautification along the streets through plantings. Okay. And the and what I'm trying to get to is if we approve a reduction to 15ft, the, utility of obscuring headlights and what have you, is that function still met? Yes. They'll still have 15ft for the required plantings. Okay. Thank you. Okay Other questions? I have a question. Yeah, Commissioner. So are these easements continuous like on on both sides. On either sides. Like is it like specifically to this property or is it like continuous. I believe the electric easement carries through. I think the sidewalk easement is going to depend on where everyone's property line falls. Okay And you're like and we didn't they didn't have to do anything on that side. Like on where the electrical easement, like on both sides, they didn't have to, reduce the landscape. So is it going to be the same amount of landscape or. Did they or maybe like, it's we have to judge like each property by its on its own. It's, it's going to be consistent 30ft when you see it driving down the road. It'll look the same from property to property. What's driving the change here is the requirement from engineering to provide a right turn lane. And that right turn lane is driving into the property and picking up some of their space where they would normally provide landscaping. So that's what's unique to this property is the turn lane. Okay okay. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. Any other questions. Okay. Seeing none. Thank you. Does the applicant wish to address the commission? They do not. Okay great. And no registered speakers for this, right? No, sir. Okay, so, we will now, confine comments to the commission and staff. I make a I move that we approve agenda item five, as recommended by staff. Okay. We have a motion by Commissioner Bronsky with a second by Commissioner Tang to approve. Please vote. And ce again, Commissioner Olli, there you are. 7 to 0. Okay, great. Thank you. And now we're down to comments of public interest. Yes, sir. Comments of pubc interest. We do not have any registered speakers for this item, but I can read the caption if you'd like.
