In 2021 Parks and the City Attorney's office began conversations with the City of Dallas to update the agreement for an additional 20 years. Attached is the updated lease agreement for your review. As in the original agreement, Dallas is responsible for the total cost of the operations and maintenance of the entire site, as well as any future improvements. Any improvements made on the Garland portion would require approval by the City of Garland prior. At their January 5, 2022, meeting the Parks and Recreation Board reviewed the updated lease agreement and made a recommendation to City Council to approve the lease agreement with the City of Dallas for Friendship Park.

Submitted By:	Kimberly Hopkins, Development Planner

REQUEST
Approval of an Amendment to Planned Development (PD) District 03-47 for Community Retail Uses. Approval of a Specific Use Provision for Automobile Sales, New or Used Approval of a Detail Plan on a property zoned Planned Development (PD) District 03-47 for Community Retail Uses. LOCATION 3218 Forest Lane
OWNER
Alan Hameed
PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On February 21, 2022, the Plan Commission, by a vote of seven (7) to one (1), recommended approval of 1) an Amendment to Planned Development (PD) District 03-47 for Community Retail Uses by Specific Use Provision, and 2) a Specific Use Provision for a Specific Use Provision for Automobile Sales, New or Used. The Plan Commission, by a vote of seven (7) to one (1), also recommended approval of a Detail Plan on a property zoned Planned Development (PD) District 03-47 for Community Retail Uses. The Plan Commission further recommended a Specific Use Provision for a time period of five (5) years; no major automobile repair on site (minor repair only) as defined by the Garland Development Code; and for staff and the applicant to confirm required parking and parking for displays.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Denial of an Amendment to Planned Development (PD) District 03-47 for Community Retail Uses. Denial of a Specific Use Provision for Automobile Sales, New or Used Denial of a Detail Plan on a property zoned Planned Development (PD) District 03-47 for Community Retail Uses.
BACKGROUND
In 2003, City Council approved a change in zoning from Multi-Family (MF) District, Community Retail (CR) District, Industrial (IN) District, and Planned Development (PD) District for Light Industrial Uses and Commercial Amusement, Indoor Uses to Planned Development (PD) District 03-47 for Transit Oriented Development with conditions and Specific Use Permits for existing uses within the Planned Development area. The intent of Planned Development (PD) District 03-47 is to create a higher density, integrated, mixed-use development pattern near the Forest/Jupiter Station that facilitates pedestrian, bicycle and transit travel and reduces automobile dependency. The applicant requests approval of an amendment to allow an Automobile Sales, New or Used in an existing 2,200 square-foot building. This proposed use does not comply with the existing Planned Development (PD) District 03-47. A previous auto sales business occupied this building from 2004 until a roofing company occupied it beginning in 2018. The building is currently vacant.
SITE DATA
The subject property consists of approximately 0.4183 acres. The site has approximately 150 linear feet of frontage along Forest Lane, which is the main entrance to the site.
USE OF PROPERTY UNDER CURRENT ZONING
The subject property is zoned Planned Development (PD) District 03-47 for transit-oriented land uses with a base zoning of Community Retail (CR) District. The Community Retail (CR) District is intended to accommodate a variety of retail, service, and business establishments that may or may not be designed in a shopping center configuration. The district may be used as a transition district between lower intensity retail or office uses and more intense uses. A Community Retail (CR) District is generally appropriate along major transportation corridors but is generally not appropriate in proximity to low density residential districts without significant buffering and screening features. An example of allowed use in a Community Retail (CR) District is a retail shopping area that may be large in scale with very limited or no outside storage. Traffic generated by uses in a Community Retail (CR) District must be focused onto the major thoroughfare network. Development in a Community Retail (CR) District may not be designed in a manner that increases traffic through residential areas.
CONSIDERATIONS
Site Plan The applicant proposes Automobile Sales, New or Used in an existing 2,200 square-foot building. Parking The subject property meets the GDC parking requirements. Twenty-one (21) spaces may be used for auto sales display when accounting for required parking. Screening and Landscaping Neither a building expansion nor a parking lot expansion is being proposed with this request. Landscaping currently exists on the site. Signage No deviations have been requested for signage. Therefore, signage will meet the GDC requirements. Planned Development (PD) District 03-47 Planned Development (PD) District 03-47 granted certain addresses Specific Use Provisions. It states, “The following addresses and uses are hereby granted a Specific Use Permit with the property for the existing use at the referenced locations…”. 3218 Forest Lane was not a listed address for an SUP in the PD 03-47 ordinance. Furthermore, according to the policy report for PD 03-47, the intent of the Plan Commission’s recommendation regarding allowing SUPs for certain addresses was that the “…SUPs would be granted with the intent that they would not generally be approved for the establishment of new such uses, but only to accommodate those that exist.” To operate a new automobile sales use at 3218 Forest Lane, an amendment to PD 03-47 is required. Specific Use Provision The applicant requests the Specific Use Provision time period to be unlimited.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Envision Garland Plan designates the subject property as Transit-oriented Centers. Transit-oriented centers are areas of concentrated activity and increased density with maximum access to public transportation options. This type of center should be developed as mixed-use with live/work/play/shop opportunities. Transit-oriented development should be within ¼ to ½ mile of transit centers and/or rail stations and provide pedestrian and bicycle friendly access.

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On February 21, 2022, the Plan Commission, by a vote of seven (7) to one (1), recommended approval of 1) an Amendment to Planned Development (PD) District 03-47 for Community Retail Uses by Specific Use Provision, and 2) a Specific Use Provision for a Specific Use Provision for Automobile Sales, New or Used. The Plan Commission, by a vote of seven (7) to one (1), also recommended approval of a Detail Plan on a property zoned Planned Development (PD) District 03-47 for Community Retail Uses. The Plan Commission further recommended a Specific Use Provision for a time period of five (5) years; no major automobile repair on site (minor repair only) as defined by the Garland Development Code; and for staff and the applicant to confirm required parking and parking for displays.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Denial of an Amendment to Planned Development (PD) District 03-47 for Community Retail Uses. Denial of a Specific Use Provision for Automobile Sales, New or Used Denial of a Detail Plan on a property zoned Planned Development (PD) District 03-47 for Community Retail Uses.
BACKGROUND
In 2003, City Council approved a change in zoning from Multi-Family (MF) District, Community Retail (CR) District, Industrial (IN) District, and Planned Development (PD) District for Light Industrial Uses and Commercial Amusement, Indoor Uses to Planned Development (PD) District 03-47 for Transit Oriented Development with conditions and Specific Use Permits for existing uses within the Planned Development area. The intent of Planned Development (PD) District 03-47 is to create a higher density, integrated, mixed-use development pattern near the Forest/Jupiter Station that facilitates pedestrian, bicycle and transit travel and reduces automobile dependency. The applicant requests approval of an amendment to allow an Automobile Sales, New or Used in an existing 2,200 square-foot building. This proposed use does not comply with the existing Planned Development (PD) District 03-47. A previous auto sales business occupied this building from 2004 until a roofing company occupied it beginning in 2018. The building is currently vacant.
SITE DATA
The subject property consists of approximately 0.4183 acres. The site has approximately 150 linear feet of frontage along Forest Lane, which is the main entrance to the site.
USE OF PROPERTY UNDER CURRENT ZONING
The subject property is zoned Planned Development (PD) District 03-47 for transit-oriented land uses with a base zoning of Community Retail (CR) District. The Community Retail (CR) District is intended to accommodate a variety of retail, service, and business establishments that may or may not be designed in a shopping center configuration. The district may be used as a transition district between lower intensity retail or office uses and more intense uses. A Community Retail (CR) District is generally appropriate along major transportation corridors but is generally not appropriate in proximity to low density residential districts without significant buffering and screening features. An example of allowed use in a Community Retail (CR) District is a retail shopping area that may be large in scale with very limited or no outside storage. Traffic generated by uses in a Community Retail (CR) District must be focused onto the major thoroughfare network. Development in a Community Retail (CR) District may not be designed in a manner that increases traffic through residential areas.
CONSIDERATIONS
Site Plan The applicant proposes Automobile Sales, New or Used in an existing 2,200 square-foot building. Parking The subject property meets the GDC parking requirements. Twenty-one (21) spaces may be used for auto sales display when accounting for required parking. Screening and Landscaping Neither a building expansion nor a parking lot expansion is being proposed with this request. Landscaping currently exists on the site. Signage No deviations have been requested for signage. Therefore, signage will meet the GDC requirements. Planned Development (PD) District 03-47 Planned Development (PD) District 03-47 granted certain addresses Specific Use Provisions. It states, “The following addresses and uses are hereby granted a Specific Use Permit with the property for the existing use at the referenced locations…”. 3218 Forest Lane was not a listed address for an SUP in the PD 03-47 ordinance. Furthermore, according to the policy report for PD 03-47, the intent of the Plan Commission’s recommendation regarding allowing SUPs for certain addresses was that the “…SUPs would be granted with the intent that they would not generally be approved for the establishment of new such uses, but only to accommodate those that exist.” To operate a new automobile sales use at 3218 Forest Lane, an amendment to PD 03-47 is required. Specific Use Provision The applicant requests the Specific Use Provision time period to be unlimited.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Envision Garland Plan designates the subject property as Transit-oriented Centers. Transit-oriented centers are areas of concentrated activity and increased density with maximum access to public transportation options. This type of center should be developed as mixed-use with live/work/play/shop opportunities. Transit-oriented development should be within ¼ to ½ mile of transit centers and/or rail stations and provide pedestrian and bicycle friendly access. This use is not compatible with the Comprehensive Plan.
COMPATIBILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES
The properties to the north, east and west are zoned Planned Development (PD) District 03-47; they are developed with a church, retail uses, and the Forest/Jupiter DART Station. The property to the south, across the railroad, is zoned Industrial (IN) District and is developed with manufacturing and distribution uses.

On February 21, 2022 the Plan Commission, by a vote of eight (8) to zero (0), recommended approval of an Amendment to Planned Development (PD) District 19-18 for Community Retail Uses.

The Plan Commission, by a vote of eight (8) to zero (0), recommended approval of a Detail Plan for a Restaurant Use.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Approval of an Amendment to Planned Development (PD) District 19-18 for Community Retail Uses.

Approval of a Detail Plan for a Restaurant Use.

BACKGROUND

The subject property is vacant and part of Lot 5 in Planned Development (PD) District 19-18. The applicant proposes a sit-down restaurant of approximately 4,165 square feet.

SITE DATA

The subject property consists of approximately 1.23 acres. The site has approximately 199.75 linear feet of frontage along Lavon Drive. The primary access is from Lavon Drive.

USE OF PROPERTY UNDER CURRENT ZONING

The subject property is zoned Planned Development (PD) District 19-18 for Community Retail Use. In addition, Planned Development (PD) District 03-53, which is the overall Planned Development (PD) District for the Firewheel Town Center to allow the development of a mixed-use town center regional shopping mall and complementary peripheral development.

Planned Development (PD) District 19-18 consists of a concept plan for six (6) lots designated for retail, restaurant, parking, and hotel uses. Any new development requires a Detail Plan approval with a public hearing.

The Community Retail (CR) District is intended to accommodate a variety of retail, service, and business establishments that may or may not be designed in a shopping center configuration. The district may be used as a transition district between lower intensity retail or office uses and more intense uses. A Community Retail (CR) District is generally appropriate along major transportation corridors but is generally not appropriate in proximity to low density residential districts without significant buffering and screening features. An example of allowed use in a Community Retail (CR) District is a retail shopping area that may be large in scale with very limited or no outside storage. Traffic generated by uses in a Community Retail (CR) District must be focused onto the major thoroughfare network. Development in a Community Retail (CR) District may not be designed in a manner that increases traffic through residential areas.

CONSIDERATIONS

Detail Plan
This proposal intends to develop an additional site within the Firewheel Town Center by adding a restaurant in a proposed 4,165 square-foot building.

The site is part of the Firewheel Town Center development, which includes requirements to enhance and create a higher quality of experience and community. The application includes installation of landscaping throughout the site; site lighting; and pedestrian path connection. Additionally, outdoor seating (quarry blocks) and a patio are designated on the plan for the restaurant (Exhibit C). The Town Center development encourages pedestrian activity and areas that are comfortable for pedestrians.
Parking
Per the GDC calculation, fifty-one (51) spaces are required. The applicant is providing fifty-six (56) parking spaces shown on the site plan. Therefore, the subject property meets the GDC parking requirements.
Screening and Landscaping
The GDC requires a canopy tree located at the end of each parking row. There are three (3) locations that do not have the required canopy trees. On the north side of the building, just west of the amenity area it is desired to keep the area as a turf area. The amenity area is meant to encourage active use and a canopy tree would introduce an obstruction. Shade for the area will still be provided by the canopy tree across the twelve-foot wide entry drive. Secondly, an island at the north end of a single row of parking contains a light pole required for consistent lighting within the parking field. The island is not large enough for a canopy tree and effective lighting from a light pole. Thirdly, there is an island at the south end of the head-in parking along Lavon Drive. Street trees account for the intent of the canopy area and the applicant contends an additional tree would add a visual obstruction to the Town Center signage immediately south.

The landscape plan (Exhibit D) complies with all other landscaping requirements per the GDC.
Building Design
The design of the building (Exhibit E) is consistent with the Town Center Planned Development (PD) District’s intent and complies with its regulations and the GDC standards.
Signage
No deviations have been requested for signage. Therefore, signage will meet the GDC requirements.

Deviations:

Development Standards	Required	Proposed	Justification
Parking lot landscaping	The GDC requires a canopy tree located at the end of each parking row.	There are three (3) locations that do not have the required canopy trees.	The applicant contends that trees in those specific locations could potentially interfere with the light pole and cause visual obstruction.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

The Envision Garland Plan designates the subject property as Regional Centers, which are areas with a higher concentration of activity that serve as a destination for residents and visitors. Uses within this development type provide a mix of retail, services, entertainment, and employment and may include residential uses. Regional Centers may be found along major highways and turnpikes, and at significant bus or rail stations.

Regional Centers generally cover an area greater than thirty (30) acres and consist of one or more buildings with more than 450,000 square feet of gross leasable area. This development type typically serves a five to fifteen-mile radius trade area, within a 20 minute drive time, and serves a minimum population of 150,000.

This use is supportive to the surrounding area and compatible with the Comprehensive Plan.

COMPATIBILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES

The land use pattern within the area surrounding the subject property has a mixture of retail, restaurants, and drive-through restaurants The property to the east is zoned Planned Development (PD) District 19-19 for an approved hotel development and further east are properties zoned and improved with restaurants. The properties to the north and east are part of the Firewheel Town Center Regional shopping mall and associated uses. The proposed use is complementary and compatible with the surrounding area and will provide more local restaurant and retail opportunities.

REQUEST

Approval of an Amendment to Planned Development (PD) District 15-40 for Multi-Family Use.

Approval of a Detail Plan for Multi-Family development.

LOCATION
4401 Bunker Hill Road

OWNER

RCM Firewheel, LLC

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION

On February 21, 2022 the Plan Commission, by a vote of eight (8) to zero (0), recommended approval of an Amendment to Planned Development (PD) District 15-40 for Multi-Family Use.

In addition, the Plan Commission, by a vote of eight (8) to zero (0), recommended approval of a Detail Plan for Multi-Family development.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Approval of an Amendment to Planned Development (PD) District 15-40 for Multi-Family Use.

Approval of a Detail Plan for Multi-Family development.

BACKGROUND

In November 2015, the City Council approved a Concept Plan for a three-phased multi-family development. The area under consideration for the zoning change was limited to the northern fifty (50) acres contiguous with Bunker Hill Road.

In May 2016, the City Council approved a Detail Plan for the first phase of the multi-family development (Domain at The One Forty). The second phase of the multi-family development (PDG Bunker Hill) was approved in October 2021.

The applicant requests approval for the third phase of the multi-family development.

In addition, Zoning application Z 21-60 was approved by the Council to revise the zoning boundary lines for the fourth phase to the west, without any improvements at this time.

SITE DATA

The overall site consists of approximately 11.5 acres with 475 lineal feet of frontage along Bunker Hill Road. The site plan (Exhibit C) shows two (2) access points from Bunker Hill Road.

USE OF PROPERTY UNDER CURRENT ZONING

The site is zoned Planned Development (PD) 15-40 for Multi-Family Use and allows for the proposed use. Where specific standards are not provided within the Planned Development, Garland Development Code standards apply.

CONSIDERATIONS

Development and Site Plan
The applicant intends to develop 148 multi-family units in an urban, townhouse style configuration. This development will complement the more traditional, higher density apartment, the Domain at the One Forty (299 units) and the recently approved Phase 2 (356 units); the project will remain urban in character.

In addition, the development will consist of several outdoor leisure areas, a clubhouse and a swimming pool (Exhibit C in the Plan agenda item).
Parking
The GDC parking requirements are met with this proposal. Additionally, each unit will have its own 2-car garage space, satisfying the covered parking requirement.
Density
The maximum density required per the GDC Multi-Family (MF) District for a multi-family development is eighteen (18) dwelling units per acre, and the maximum density permitted in Planned Development (PD) District 15-40 is forty (40) dwelling units per acre. The applicant requests the maximum density at thirteen (13) dwelling units per acre, which complies with the density and reflects a townhouse-style development.
Amenities

Clubhouse: Section 2.39 (I) states that a minimum 2,500 square-foot clubhouse must be constructed on site and made available to all residents. The site plan (Exhibit C) notes a 4,994 square-foot clubhouse which the application indicates will include leasing and maintenance offices, a clubroom, a strength and aerobic fitness facility, a co-working suite, and bathrooms servicing the club and pool area.
Swimming Pool: One swimming pool having a minimum of eight hundred (800) square feet of surface water must be provided for each multi-family development. The applicant proposes a resort-style swimming pool with 1,342 square feet of surface water.
Leisure Areas: One leisure area having a minimum area of one thousand square feet, containing at least two (2) pieces of play equipment, or other outdoor amenities (such as, picnic areas with tables, barbeque pits, arbors, or gazebos) must be provided for each multi-family development. The applicant will comply with this requirement by providing a series of formal courtyards at the center of the project, distributing the community greenspace and providing residents a balanced offering of gathering spaces, both active and passive. In addition, formal lawn will be situated on the lake front with gathering areas, lawn games, and grills.

Dwelling unit/mix
The submittal materials indicate compliance with the required unit size and mix. More specifically:
Minimum dwelling unit size.

Required two-bedroom: 800 square feet

Proposed: 1,548-1,643 square feet

Number of units: 148

Screening and Landscaping
The GDC requires a minimum fifteen (15)-foot wide landscape buffer along Bunker Hill Road. In addition, one (1) canopy tree is required per every thirty (30) linear feet along with seven (7) shrubs within the landscape buffer. Per the calculation, sixteen (16) large canopy trees and one hundred eleven (111) shrubs are required. The landscape plan (Exhibit D) reflects a twenty (20)-foot wide landscape buffer along with five (5) large canopy trees, twenty-seven (27) small ornamental trees and 228 shrubs within the landscape buffer. The applicant contends that sixteen (16) large canopy trees would interfere with the overhead utility lines.

The landscape plan (Exhibit D) complies with all other landscaping requirements.
Connectivity:
The site plan (Exhibit C) shows the connection to the Rowlett Creek and Preserve Trail system, utilizing the trail being installed along the lakefront edge of the Phase 2 property to the east. The future Domain Phase 4 site will then connect to and extend the lakeside trail to the west. The developer will continue to coordinate all trail and lake considerations with the City of Garland, the Phase 2 developer, and the owner of Phase 4.
Building Design
The building design complies with the architectural elements and articulation requirements of the GDC.

Driveway Approval:
The subject site fronts Bunker Hill Road. Bunker Hill Road is located within, owned, and maintained by the City of Sachse. Accordingly, the applicant must obtain City of Sachse approval regarding transportation design elements such as deceleration lanes, median cuts or other traffic provisions. The City of Sachse has reviewed the submitted analysis and provided no objections regarding applicable design elements.
Signage
No deviations were requested regarding signage.

Summary of Deviations
The applicant requests to deviate from Chapter 4 of the GDC. The table below indicated the deviations are as proposed.

Development Standards	Required	Proposed	Analysis
Landscape buffer	One (1) canopy tree is required per every thirty (30) linear feet along with seven (7) shrubs within the landscape buffer. Per the calculation, sixteen (16) large canopy trees and 111 shrubs are required.	The landscape plan (Exhibit D) reflects a twenty (20)-foot wide landscape buffer along with five (5) large canopy trees, twenty-seven (27) small ornamental trees and 228 shrubs within the landscape buffer.	The applicant contends that sixteen (16) large canopy trees would interfere with the overhead utility lines.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

The Envision Garland Plan designates the subject property as Parks and Open Space and Compact Neighborhoods

Compact neighborhoods provide areas for moderate increases in residential density, including single-family attached and single-family detached housing. It expands housing options through infill and redevelopment, while continuing walkable development patterns. These areas provide transitions between traditional residential neighborhoods and higher density residential neighborhoods and non-residential developments.

Public Parks and Open Space areas include the vast array of park, recreation, and open space lands. This can range from small neighborhood playgrounds to community parks with outdoor picnic areas, hike and bike trails, and play fields and tennis courts to community recreation centers with swimming pools or indoor gymnasiums; as well as natural areas and floodplains.

This proposal is compatible with the surrounding area and the Comprehensive Plan.

COMPATIBILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES

The area to the north, across Bunker Hill Road, are residential neighborhoods located in the City of Sachse. The property to the east is zoned Planned Development (PD) District 21-23 for a future multi-family development (Phase 2). The property to the south is zoned Agricultural (AG) District; it is currently vacant. The property to the west is currently zoned Planned Development (PD) District 15-40; however, there is an active zoning application [Z 21-60] to revise the zoning boundary lines.
