CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO THE DESOTO CITY COUNCIL REGARDING AN ORDINANCE AMENDING AND RESTATING PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. 129 ALSO KNOWN AS PD 129, RELATING TO THE DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF 62 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED WEST OF INTERSTATE 35 AND SOUTH OF PLEASANT RUN. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED SOUTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF EAST PLEASANT RUN ROAD AND SOUTH INTERSTATE 35 E, AND IS LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS FM MABEL FAIRBANKS BLOCK A LOT ONE A, CONTAINING APPROXIMATELY 2.143 ACRES AND ADDRESSED AS 633 NORTH INTERSTATE 35 E, DESOTO, TEXAS. THE APPLICANT AND PROPERTY OWNER IS RICK STEEL OF DESOTO FT DEVELOPMENT, LLC. ZONING CASE C-154626. MISS JORDAN. YES. GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE. SO THIS EVENING, I BRING FORWARD FOR YOUR REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION A REQUEST TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING AN ORDINANCE AMENDING PLAN DEVELOPMENT 129 AS WELL AS RESTATING PLAN, EXCUSE ME, PLAN DEVELOPMENT 129.
AT A PROPERTY CURRENTLY ADDRESSED TO 633 NORTH NORTH I-35 EAST. OKAY, SO SPECIFICALLY, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THAT THE DESOTO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND APPROVE A OR EXCUSE ME, MAKING A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO AN AMENDMENT TO
[00:05:06]
PLAN DEVELOPMENT 129 WHICH PROPOSES A SITE PLAN OR EXCUSE ME, THE AMENDMENT IS TO ALLOW FOR A PYLON SIGN IN PLACE OF THE TYPICALLY REQUIRED MONUMENT SIGN, AND THE RESTATING HAS TO DO WITH THE INCLUSION OF A SITE PLAN WHERE THAT KIND OF NOT DICTATES, BUT DESCRIBES WHERE HARBOR FREIGHT CURRENTLY IS TODAY. THE LOCATION IS CURRENTLY ADDRESSED AS 633 NORTH I-35 EAST, AND THE SUBJECT SITE IS ABOUT 2.143 ACRES. AGAIN, THE PROPERTY OWNER IS RICK STEEL AND THE. THE APPLICANT IS ALSO RICK STEEL. SO THE PUBLIC NOTICE PUBLICATION WAS PUBLISHED IN THE DAILY COMMERCIAL RECORD ON JANUARY 9TH OF 2026. IN TOTAL, STAFF NOTICED SEVEN PROPERTY OWNERS. THE MAJORITY OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS WERE WITHIN THE 200 FOOT RADIUS, SO THREE OF THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE WITHIN THE 200 FOOT PROPERTY.EXCUSE ME, 200 FOOT RADIUS AND THE REMAINING ARE IN THE 400 FOOT RADIUS. AND TO DATE, WE'VE RECEIVED NO LETTERS OF SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION. OKAY. NEXT UP IS GOING TO BE THE ADJACENT PROPERTY. SO THE SUBJECT SITE IS CURRENTLY ZONED AS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 129, WHICH DOES HAVE A BASE ZONING DISTRICT OF GENERAL RETAIL PROPERTIES IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE NORTH ARE ALSO ZONED GENERAL RETAIL. IT'S NOT A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT IN THERE. CURRENTLY, THE PROPERTIES ARE CURRENTLY DEVELOPED. PROPERTIES TO THE EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE OF CITY OF DESOTO CITY LIMITS, AND IT'S ACTUALLY CONSIDERED CITY OF LANCASTER CITY LIMITS. PROPERTIES TO THE SOUTH ARE ALSO LOCATED WITHIN PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 129, WHICH HAS A BASE ZONING DISTRICT OF GENERAL RETAIL AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST, OUR PROPERTIES TO THE WEST. THEY ALSO THERE'S TWO TWO ZONING DESIGNATIONS. ONE IS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 129, WHICH HAS THE BASE ZONING DISTRICT OF GENERAL RETAIL. AND THEN THE SECOND IS SINGLE FAMILY 12,000 OR SF 12, WHICH IS CURRENTLY VACANT. SO TO OUR SCREEN, IF YOU LOOK OVER TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT, YOU'LL SEE THE PROPOSED OR THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN THAT SHOWS WHAT EXISTS OUT THERE TODAY, WHICH OF COURSE AGAIN IS THE BUILDING KNOWN AS HARBOR FREIGHT. SO YOU'LL SEE THE ARROWS KIND OF POINTING TOWARDS A SMALLER GREEN HIGHLIGHT SECTION. AND THAT'S WHERE THE PYLON SIGN IS PROPOSED TO GO. AND THEN YOU'LL SEE THE GREEN OR THE LARGER GREEN OR HIGHLIGHTED GREEN SECTION. AND THAT IS THE LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED OR RATHER EXISTING BUILDING. NEXT UP WE'RE GOING TO BE OUR PROPOSED ELEVATIONS.
THE APPROXIMATE STORY IS GOING TO BE ONE ONE STORY AT ITS HIGHEST POINT. AND THEN THIS IS OUR PROPOSED LANDSCAPE. ALL LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING BUFFERS AND OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS, HAVE BEEN MET. OKAY. SO PER OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, YOU CAN EXCUSE ME. OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH ALSO INCLUDES THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, SHOWS IF YOU LOOK AT THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP TO THE FAR RIGHT OF THE SCREEN, THERE'S A BLACK STAR AND THAT ACTUALLY DESIGNATES THE LOCATION OF THE SUBJECT SITE. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SUBJECT SITE IS DESIGNATED AS DESTINATION MIXED USE AND HARBOR FREIGHT, WHICH IS A RETAIL USE. IT DOES ALIGN WITH THE THE PROPOSED LAND DESIGNATION. SO THAT BEING SAID THIS THIS REQUEST IS COMPATIBLE WITH OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. ALL RIGHT. AND STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS. SO STAFF RECOMMENDATION STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FORWARD A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO THE DESOTO CITY COUNCIL FOR THE CASE AS PRESENTED. AND I'LL OPEN THE FLOOR FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, MISS JORDAN. COMMISSIONERS, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? VICE CHAIR, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE MAP WITH THE BLACK STAR REAL QUICK? THE GO BACK TO THE RIGHT. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S COVERING OVER. I SEE WHAT YOU STATED, BUT IS IT COVERING A NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE AS WELL. AREA? NO. SO IT'S THE STARS. IT'S A IT'S MUCH BIGGER THAN THE SITE. IT'S JUST TWO POINT. IT'S JUST DESIGNATION THAT ONE AREA OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF COMMISSIONERS I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION ON SLIDE THREE. WELL LET'S GO TO SLIDE FOUR FIRST. THE PD 129 IS EVERYTHING THAT'S IN ONE IN PURPLE EXCLUDING THE OFFICE. YES IT'S PD 129 IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN IT'S.
I'M LOOKING FOR THE ACREAGE ONE SECOND. IT'S A LITTLE UNDER 60 ACRES. SO THAT IS THE ENTIRE SITE OKAY. AND THAT LEADS TO MY NEXT QUESTION ON SLIDE THREE. SO EVEN THOUGH THE PD IS MUCH LARGER, WE STILL ARE ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR SENDING NOTIFICATIONS WITHIN THAT 2 TO
[00:10:04]
450, 200 AND 400FT. YES. HOW MANY NOTIFICATIONS WAS THAT? 7 TO 7? SEVEN. AND WE HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM ANY IN FAVOR OR OPPOSED. OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT, IF THERE ARE NO OTHER ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF, WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. AND THE FIRST PERSON I ASKED TO COME UP, IF THEY HAVE AT LEAST INTRODUCE YOURSELF AS THE APPLICANT, IS THE APPLICANT HERE? THE APPLICANT IS NOT IN ATTENDANCE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO LET'S OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENT CARDS? IS ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OPPOSITION OF THIS CASE? MR. ALL RIGHT. IF YOU'RE IN THE AUDIENCE AND YOU WANT TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR OPPOSE, PLEASE SEE STAFF AT THIS TABLE TO MY LEFT, RIGHT. OKAY.
