THE APPLICANT IS HERE TONIGHT AND SO DUE TO -- THEY WANT TO MAINLY DO SHRUBS PRIMARILY DUE TO IF THEY WERE TO PROVIDE TOO MANY TREES, DUE TO THE HEIGHT OF THE TREES, THEY DIDN'T WANT IT TO AFFECT THE HEIGHT OF THAT. I'M SURE HE WILL SPEAK MORE TO THAT. THAT WAS THE PRIMARY REASONING

GOOD EVENING. ROB MYERS, KENLY WARREN, 6160 WARREN PARKWAY IN FRISCO. I AM THE APPLICANT ON BEHALF OF ONCOR ELECTRIC. AS MENTIONED, THE SUP IS TO COVER THE GROWING DEMAND FOR CURRENT AND FUTURE CUSTOMERS WITHIN THE MIDLOTHIAN SO THE SUP WOULD BE NEEDED TO CONTINUE THE SERVICE THAT IS PROVIDED. WHAT IS EXPECTED OR PROPOSED IS TO EXPAND THE EXISTING SUBSTATION OUT 30 FEET TO THE WEST AND WE WOULD CONTINUE THE CHAIN-LINK FENCE.
WE WOULD HAVE A THREE-FOOT AT THE TIME OF PLANNING NELLY R.

OKAY, SO CAN COUNCIL GIVE HIM THE 30-DAY EXTENSION OR DOES THAT NEED TO BE WORKED OUT AT THE STAFF LEVEL, FROM 10 TO 30.
>> I DON'T SEE ANYTHING ON THE ORDINANCE.

REQUESTING 10 TO 30. >> WHEN I ORIGINALLY SPOKEN WITH LESLIE, SHE HAD ASKED ME HOW MUCH TIME I WOULD NEED TO BE ABLE TO OPERATE IN BOTH PLACES SO MY PERMIT -- MY LICENSING IS STILL GOOD. AND I SAID TEN DAYS WILL BE FINE BECAUSE I HAVE TO TAKE THE CARPET OUT.
WE CAN'T HAVE CARPET. BUT, WITH PRODUCT LOGISTICS TODAY, I JUST DON'T KNOW THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO GET IT IN TEN DAYS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE -- I THINK JUST A FEW DAYS IS ALL I REALLY NEED BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE I
HAVE ENOUGH OVERLAP. >> YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT

[2022-194]
OPEN ITEM 2022-194, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER AND ACT UPON AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY OF MIDLOTHIAN ZONING ORDINANCE BY AMENDING SECTION 3.5100, RESIDENTIAL ACCESSORY BUILDING STANDARDS, AND SECTION 4.5100, NONRESIDENTIAL ACCESSORYBUILDING STANDARDS. >> THIS WILL AMEND RESIDENTIAL AND NONRESIDENTIAL RELATED TO ACCESSORY BUILDINGS.
WE HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS REQUESTS REGARDING SHIPPING CONTAINERS FOR ACCESSORY PURPOSES.
STAFF IS LOOKING FOR SOME DIRECTION AND FEEDBACK REGARDING THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION FOR THESE TYPE OF CONTAINERS.
WHAT I HAVE UP HERE ON THE SCREEN, THE CITY'S CURRENT REGULATIONS IN THE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.
IT IS AS FOLLOWS, YOU ARE PERMITTED TO ONE SHIPPING CONTAINER IN A RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE LOCATED OVER TEN ACRES OF LAND.
AND YOU MUST HAVE THAT SHIPPING CONTAINER CONSIST OF LIKE AN EARTH TONE COLOR. WE COULD EXPAND THIS TO INCLUDE THE OPTION TO GO THROUGH A SUP IF THE PERSON OR THE ENTITY IS NOT ABLE TO MEET THAT CURRENT CRITERIA.
OF COURSE, STAFF WOULD LOOK TO THE FOLLOWING FACTORS THAT I SHOW UP HERE ON THE SCREEN ALSO TO DETERMINE IF STAFF WOULD LEND SUPPORT. THAT WOULD CONSIST OF LOOKING AT THE AREA OF THE PARCEL. WE WOULD LOOK AT THE VISIBILITY TO ANY PUBLIC ROADS OR PUBLIC STREETS, ADJOINING PROPERTIES.
WHAT THAT DESIRED USE IS AND MAYBE EVEN LOOKING AT THE COMPATIBILITY OF THE SURROUNDING AREA.
FOR THE SECOND PART OF THIS ITEM, OUR NONRESIDENTIAL ACCESSORY STANDARDS, THEY DO NOT INCLUDE ANY CRITERIA FOR SHIPPING CONTAINERS AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME.
STAFF WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THE FOLLOWING BE ADDED TO SECTION 4.51, ONLY FOR MEDIUM INDUSTRIAL AND HEAVY INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS.
[00:15:03]
THAT WOULD EXCLUDE COMMERCIAL, COMMUNITY RETAIL, GENERAL PROFESSIONAL. AGAIN, THIS WOULD BE SPECIFIC TO ONLY MEDIUM INDUSTRIAL AND HEAVY INDUSTRIAL.WE WOULD LIMIT THAT TO NOT MORE THAN ONE SHIPPING CONTAINER ON THE PROPERTY. THAT HEAVY AND MEDIUM INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT WOULD HAVE TO BE OVER TEN ACRES IN SIZE.
ON TOP OF THAT, YOU WOULD ALSO VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT THE RESIDENTIAL REQUIRES, YOU WOULD HAVE EARTH TONE COLORS AND THEN IT WOULD NEED TO BE COMPLETELY SCREENED FROM PUBLIC VIEW OR BEHIND THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE. THIS NEW STANDARD WOULD ALSO INCLUDE AN OPTION TO SEEK A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IF THAT ENTITY OR THAT COMPANY IS NOT ABLE TO MEET THOSE PARTICULAR CRITERIA. AND AGAIN, VERY SIMILAR TO THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE OF THINGS, WE WOULD LOOK AT THE AREA OF THE PARCEL. LOOK AT THE SURROUNDING AREA TO MAKE A DETERMINATION IF STAFF WOULD LEND SUPPORT ON THAT.
THE COMMISSION DID HEAR THIS ON APRIL 19TH AND THEY NOUNS UNANIY APPROVED IT. I WILL STAND FOR QUESTIONS.
>> MARCOS, THE TEN ACRES FOR HEAVY INDUSTRIAL, MEDIUM INDUSTRIAL. THAT ONE PIECE OF PROPERTY HAD
MORE THAN TEN ACRES? >> THE PARCEL WOULD HAVE TO
BE -- IN HEAVY INDUSTRIAL, JESS. >> YES,
SIR. >> WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE TEN
ACRES? >> THAT'S A SUGGESTION.
THAT'S STAFF. STAFF IS TRYING TO KEEP IT -- THE WHOLE IDEA IS THAT WE ARE NOT LOOKING TO HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF SHIPPING CONTAINERS LOCATED ON MAYBE AN ACRE PARCEL OR LESS. SO TEN ACRES IS JUST WHAT WE
ESSENTIALLY SETTLED ON. >> MEDIUM TO HEAVY INDUSTRIAL, THOUGH. IT IS NOT PASTURE WITH BARN -- BECAUSE IT JUST -- THE TEN ACRES SEEMED TO BE OVERKILL FOR MEDIUM INDUSTRIAL. PROBABLY GOING TO USE IT FOR DRY
STORAGE. >> I THINK WE WOULD BE FLEXIBLE ON THAT. WE ARE LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK FROM
THIS COUNCIL. >> WITH A SURROUNDING AREA, YOU.
>> TEN ACRES SE SEEMED TO BE A STRETCH WITH A CABINET SHOP THAT
NEEDED TO STORE PLYWOOD. >> THESE STANDARDS ARE STRECTLYY BY RIGHT. IF YOU DON'T MEET THESE
STANDARDS, COME IN WITH A SUP. >> CURRENTLY WHAT CAN YOU DO TO GET A SHIPPING CONTAINER BY RIGHT RIGHT NOW?
>> DEPENDING IF YOU ARE RESIDENTIAL OR NONRESIDENTIAL.
NONRESIDENTIAL, YOU CAN'T. RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES, INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES, IF THEY HAVE SHIPPING CONTAINERS ON THE PROPERTY, THAT SHOULD PROBABLY BE BY PD ONLY. THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS WRITTEN INTO THAT ORDINANCE SPECIFIC FOR A THAT SITE.
LOVES IS A GOOD EXAMPLE. LOVE'S IS COMMERCIAL PROPERTY BUT THEY WERE PERMITTED TO HAVE TWO SHIPPING CONTAINERS AND THEY HAD TO BUILD A WALL AROUND THAT. THAT WAS DOWN BY SUP BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAD A PRE-EXISTING SUP.
NOW, FOR RESIDENTIAL, LITTLE DIFFERENT.
AS LONG AS YOU MEET THESE THREE CRITERIA, YOU CAN HAVE A
SHIPPING CONTAINER. >> RIGHT NOW, THE WAY OUR P■ROCESS WORKS, IF IDON'T MEET THOSE THREE, WE DON'T HAVE A SUP PROCESS. WHAT WOULD I DO?
>> CAN'T HAVE IT. >> CAN'T SAY I'M GOING TO GO SEE
COULD YOU BE. >> NO MECHANISM IN PLACE RIGHT NOW. SOME OF THIS IS ALSO -- MISD IS A GOOD EXAMPLE. SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS A LOT OF PROPERTY WITHIN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND IF THEY WANT TO HAVE SHIPPING CONTAINERS ON THEIR PROPERTY, LEGALLY THEY CAN'T.
OR THEY SHOULDN'T. THIS WOULD GIVE SOMEONE LIKE MISD AN OPPORTUNITY OR AN AVENUE TO BE ABLE TO COME ASK COUNCIL.
>> I'M NOT WANTING TO GO DOWN THE RABBIT TRAIL, BUT SHIPPING CONTAINERS ARE USED FOR A LOT DIFFERENT PURPOSE LATELY THAN WE HAVE EVER SEEN THEM BE USED. SO WHAT ARE WE DEFINING AS AN ACCESSORY BUILDING. THEY ARE TURNING SHIPPING CONTAINERS INTO ALL KINDS OF THINGS NOW.
>> USUALLY, ACCESSORY BUILDINGS ARE STORAGE FACILITIES.
IT CAN BE A WORKSHOP THAT YOU HAVE IN THE BACKYARD.
THAT'S CONSIDERED AN ACCESSORY BUILDING.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. STORAGE CONTAINERS, I HAVE SEEN THEM USED -- HAD SOME FOLKS COME ASK ME IF THEY CAN USE IT FOR A
SECONDARY DWELLING UNIT. >> TECHNICALLY UNDER ACCESSORY BUILDING BE CONSIDERED, OH, I BUILT THIS POOL HOUSE IT, DIDN'T START THAT WAY. IT STARTED AS A SHIPPING CONTAINER FOR STORAGE. THEN WE GO BACK, NOW IT IS
GRANDMA'S POOL HOUSE. >> WE COULDN'T CONSIDER THAT AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE. POOL HOUSE WOULD FALL MORE LIKE A SECONDARY DWELLING UNIT, ESPECIALLY IF IT HAD A REST ROOM AND LIVING AREA. THEN WE ARE TALKING SECONDARY DWELLING UNIT. STILL TALKING IMPACT FEES.
[00:20:02]
>> SCHONAS LONG AS IT IS NOT HOD UP TO PLUMBING OR ELECTRIC.
>> OVER ONE ACRE IN SIZE, YOU CAN HAVE AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE WITH ONE REST ROOM BUT YOU HAVE TO BE ONE ACRE PLUS IN SIZE.
>> CONTAINERS BEHIND BIG D RIGHT NOW.
YOU TALKED ME INTO THAT DOING THAT.
I'M GLAD WE DID NOW. >> THAT'S GREAT.
>> THAT'S WHAT I WAS GETTING AT. THIS IS KIND OF A DIFFERENT USAGE. WE APPROVED IT FOR DOWNTOWN MIDLOTHIAN. THAT WAS SUP.
>> THAT WAS SUP. >> THAT WAS BY UVPD FOR THAT.
>> I AGREE WITH TED. I THINK IT IS A LITTLE STRICT WITH TEN ACRES IN HIGH INDUSTRIAL, MEDIUM INDUSTRIAL.
BUT I DO LIKE THE IDEA OF SETTING STANDARDS UP TO WHERE PEOPLE CAN COME AND REQUEST IT THROUGH THE PD, THROUGH THE PROCESS, SUP PROCESS. THAT'S MY FEEDBACK.
>> IF YOU LEAVE THE AXLE ON THE TRAILER IS IT A SHIPPING
CONTAINER? >> PROBABLY STILL A TRAILER.
>> I WILL LEAVE THAT ONE OPEN. >> BECAUSE OTHERWISE THAT RULES IT OFF OUR DISTRIBUTION CENTERS, I'M SURE THAT THAT IS NOT WHAT
WE ARE -- >> MAYOR: ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE WE GET TO DISCUSSION? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? TAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE, PLEASE.
>> I MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING.
>> BACK UP ONE. >> THIS IS FOR RESIDENTIAL
SPECIFIC. >> SIGHING SAYING JUST THE OPPO.
I GUESS I WAS MISSING SOMETHING. >> MAYOR: HAS EVERYBODY VOTED?
>> GO BACK ONE MORE TIME. >> LET'S CLOSE THE PUBLIC
>> PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED 6-0. NOW DISCUSSION, PLEASE.
>> I CAN GO THROUGH SOME OF THE SLIDES.
>> I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT NOW.
>> ON THE RESIDENTIAL, ONLY DIFFERENCE --
>> BACK UP. THAT WAS IT, I BELIEVE.
>> THIS ONE RIGHT HERE. SO ALL THIS IS SAYING, COUNCIL MEMBER, IS THAT IF THEY DON'T MEET THE CRITERIA IN THE RESIDENTIAL SECTION, THEN THEY CAN GO THROUGH A SUP PROCESS.
IF THEY DON'T MEET THE CRITERIA. OTHERWISE IF THEY MEET THE
>> ON THE INDUSTRIAL ONE, WE HAVE IT HAD TO BE COMPLETELY SCREENED. WE DON'T HAVE IT THAT IT HAS TO BE COMPLETELY SCREENED ON RESIDENTIAL.
>> NOT ON THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE, ONLY BECAUSE THEY ARE NORMALLY
ON TEN ACRES PLUS. >> IT IS REALLY AN AG USE.
>> NORMALLY WHERE YOU WOULD PROBABLY SEE IT.
RIGHT NOW, THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THE CHANGE BECAUSE WE ARE OPENING UP THE ORDINANCE FOR THIS.
IF WE WANTED TO INCLUDE THAT AS A NO. 4, UNDER RESIDENTIAL SECTION, WE ABSOLUTELY CAN DO THAT.
TO ENSURE THAT SHIPPING CONTAINERS ARE NOT VISIBLE FROM THE RIGHT-OF-WAY IN A RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.
>> I WOULD PROBABLY PREFER THAT. I WOULD STILL OPEN IT UP FOR SUP. IF THEY WANT TO COME ARGUE THAT IT SHOULDN'T BE LANDSCAPED, I WANT TO GIVE THEM THAT OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THEIR CASE. JUST TALKING ABOUT RESIDENTIAL.
>> MAYOR: ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS?
>> NO, SIR. >> MAYOR: MAKE A MOTION?
>> . >> RIGHT-OF-WAY AND PUBLIC VIEW
>> CAN WE ADDRESS ACREAGE IN MEDIUM INDUSTRIAL.
I MIGHT LEAN ON TED'S RECOMMENDATION.
I AGREE THAT TEN ACRES MIGHT BE A LITTLE HIGH.
I'M THINKING OF SOME OF THE LARGER PARCELS OUT IN EASTGATE,
FIVE ACRES? >> SO YOU WANT TO LOWER IT.
>> I WANT TO LOWER IT -- I WOULD SUGGEST MAYBE FIVE ACRES AND THEN ANYTHING WOULD COME BEFORE US FOR SUP.
>> [INAUDIBLE]. >> I CAN ATTEMPT TO FORMULATE A
[00:25:05]
MOTION. MOVE TO APPROVE WITH GIVING MEDIUM AND HIGH -- MY BRAIN AND MY MOUTH ARE NOT CONNECTED.MEDIUM AND HIGH INDUSTRIAL AT 5 ACRES.
AND THEN ALSO ON RESIDENTIAL ADD IN MUST NOT BE VISIBLE FROM
PUBLIC AND PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY. >> SECOND.
>> WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECONDED.
APPROVE AS PRESENTED WITH MEDIUM AND HIGH INDUSTRIAL FIVE ACRES MINIMUM. AND RESIDENTIAL CANNOT BE VISIBLE. PLEASE V VOTE.
FOR THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY. ITEM PASSES 6-0.

THIS WILL BE AN ONE-TIME GRANT. MED IS SUPPORTIVE OF CONTINUING THIS PROGRAM IF IT IS APPROVED. WE HOPE THAT MORE STUDENTS WILL BECOME INVOLVED IN THE PROGRAM AS WORD GETS OUT.
