VI. REGULAR ITEMS
A. CASE # BOA 16 -01 to hold a public hearing and consider action on a request by Tien
Tran for a Special Exception as required by City Code Section 17 -421, Schedule of Uses and
Off - Street Parking Requirements, to allow a vehicle storage facility in an "I" Industrial zoning
district at 7084 E Kennedale Pkwy, more particularly described as Elam Addition Block 1 Lots
1 -3.
1. Staff Presentation
Ms. Roberts said last month the board asked the applicant to submit a site plan. She said he
would still have to get a Certificate of Occupancy and Business License and have an inspection by
the Fire Department and Building Official. She said that there are three separate lots. The first lot
would be truck parking, the second lot would be truck repair and the third lot would not be used at
this time. She said that the applicant has enough parking needed for both uses. Staff
recommended at least 10 parking spaces for truck repair and 6 spaces for truck storage. She said
the unpaved surface would be prohibited from being used and that there will be a reserved lane
for the Fire Department.
2. Applicant Presentation
Tony Tran, translating for Tien Tran, went over how the proposed use would meet the standards
for the special exception. The board asked the applicant questions about parking, security, and
leasing requirements.
3. Public Hearing
No one signed up to speak.
4. Applicant Response
There was no applicant response.
5. Staff Response and Summary
Staff recommends approval with the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall tie into the city water and waste water systems if the property owner is not
already connected.
2. The parking lot shall be restriped and approved by the city within 90 days of the special
exception being granted.
3. The area to be used for vehicle storage and the area to be used for truck repair shall also be
striped or otherwise marked (as approved by city staff during the Certificate of Occupancy
permitting process) to allow for storage and parking in an orderly and safe manner and to
ensure an adequate number of spaces are provided for the proposed uses.
4. Only the areas paved with asphalt or concrete shall be used for storing vehicles, customer or
employee parking, or any kind of access or circulation. No portions of lot 2 or any other
unpaved area shall be permitted to be used for any purpose, including access and circulation,
unless those areas are paved with asphalt or concrete as approved by the city.
5. If additional areas are paved, the applicant shall provide additional storm water facilities
subject to review and approval by the city's storm water department.
6. At least six (6) parking spaces shall be provided in the custom /visitor parking lot for the
vehicle storage use and maintained in good condition at all times.

shall not be used for parking of trucks awaiting repair.
8. The special exception shall expire in two (2) years from the date the special exception was
granted. If the applicant does not re -apply for a special exception at expiration or if the board
