MINUTES OF
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION - APRIL 4, 1991
WORKSHOP - COMMUNITY CENTER - 7:30 PM
Vice -Chairperson, Roger Hurlbut called the workshop to order at
7:45 PM.
Members present were Glynn Cavasos, Cliff Hallmark, Roger Hurlbut,
Ron Kovach and Joe Moniz. . Mary Salinas arrived at 7:50 P11. Hill
Cromer was absent.
Staff present was Ted Rowe and Kathy Turner.
The purpose of the meeting was to review the overview of Business
287 Overlay District and the proposed ordinance and discuss any
changes the P&Z would like to see.
Ms. Mary Salinas had a question with the loading dock regulations
referring to the Winn-Dixie dock. Mr. Moniz replied that this
would not effect Winn-Dixie because it is an existing building,
only new businesses would have to comply.
Mr. Joe Moniz was concerned with the outside storage and display
regulations regarding merchandise for display in the 25'set-back.
Mr. Moniz stated the are a lot of businesses who have
merchandise for sale in good condition and felt it should be
allowed to show (eq., used car sales). Mr. Hurlbut replied that
this was covered under parking regulations. Mr. Moniz also
addressed display regulations in regards to businesses who move
displays out during the day and move them back into the building
at night. (eq. Kennedale Auto Cube - has a rack of used tires for
sale that they move out during the day and move back in at night)
Mr. Moniz is concerned how the city will regulate this.
Mr. Moniz also addressed the nonconforming use under screening
regulations. He felt that refuse areas ought to be screened only
if they are located within a certain amount of feet from the
highway, and if it was not visible why should it be screened
separately?
Mr. Glynn Gavasos inquired about making property owners install a
lawn sprinkling system. He felt that they should be able to use a
garden hose as long as Lite landscaping area was maintained.
Mr. Ron Kovach asked about (3) (d) - Landscaping requirements
what is considered proper and regular as far as mowing. He felt
this should be defined more specifically. He was also concerned
with the pole sign regulations that a business needed 100' of
frontage to have a pole sign. Ile didn't think this was fair to
smaller businesses whose lots already did not qualify.
Mr. Kovach also suggested staggering the allotted time frame for
the new restrictions for business owners to comply as follows:
G months for parking, 2 year for screening of storage, 36 months
minimum up to GO months for storage setback requirements with an
extension granted by the BOA for hardship cases.. Mr. Moniz felt
that a longer period should be allowed for storage, and did not
agree with tFie extension by DOA for hardship cases.
