KEY FOCUS AREA: Economic Vibrancy ADDENDUM ITEM # 6 AGENDA DATE: November 7, 2011 COUNCIL DISTRICT(S): 4 DEPARTMENT: Sustainable Development and Construction CMO: Ryan S. Evans, 670-3314 MAPSCO: SUBJECT 48 N P Q Authorize the City Manager to provide a Notice of Establishment for a Quiet Zone along the Union Pacific Railroad encompassing the Jim Miller Road, Urban Avenue and Buckner Boulevard crossings as required by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Final Train Horn Rule 49 CFR Parts 222 and 229, with the intent to establish a Quiet Zone - Financing: No cost consideration to the City BACKGROUND The sounding of locomotive train horns as they approach street grade crossings throughout the day and night negatively impacts the quality of life for those persons residing near the rail line and also for those persons in the larger general area. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) issued its Train Horn Rule in response to this concern. The Rule provides a detailed process for a Quiet Zone that includes the issuance of a notice of intent by the City, a multi-agency diagnostic site meeting, installation of any supplemental safety measures deemed necessary, followed by a notice of Quiet Zone establishment by the City to affected agencies including the FRA, railroad operators, State agencies and the owners of the rail corridor. While the routine use of train horns approaching grade crossings within a Quiet Zone will no longer be required, the train operator will continue to utilize the horn as a warning to track workers, trespassers and animals on the tracks or in other potentially dangerous situations. A Notice of Intent to create the new Quiet Zone was issued on September 24, 2008. The Diagnostic Team, consisting of representatives from the City of Dallas, TxDOT, Union Pacific Railroad and the FRA met on October 23, 2008. The Diagnostic Team identified the closure of Urban Street as a supplemental safety measure as a substitute for the sounding of the locomotive horn. The City of Dallas City Council approved the permanent closure of Urban Avenue at its intersection with the Union Pacific Railroad Tracks on October 26, 2011.
BACKGROUND (continued) The action proposed by this item will authorize the distribution of the required Notice of Establishment of a Quiet Zone encompassing the Jim Miller Road, Urban Avenue and Buckner Boulevard crossings to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), State Transportation Agency (TxDOT) and the Railroad Owner (Union Pacific) in compliance with the FRA Final Train Horn Rule. PRIOR ACTION / REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS) Briefed to the Council Transportation and Environment Committee on February 26, 2007. City Council approved the Notice of Intent for establishing a Quiet Zone on September 10, 2008. City Council approved the permanent closure of Urban Avenue at its intersection with the Union Pacific Railroad Tracks, a Supplemental Safety Measure required by the FRA Final Train Horn Rule 49 CFR Parts 222 and 229 on October 26, 2011.

COUNCIL CHAMBER November 7, 2011 WHEREAS, the routine sounding of the locomotive train horn approaching street grade crossings has a negative effect on the quality of life for those persons living along the rail line and also for those persons in the larger general area; and WHEREAS, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has issued its Train Horn Rule that requires trains to sound their horns within a quarter-mile of a street grade crossing unless a quiet zone has been established by a public authority; and WHEREAS, the City has provided the required notice of intention of establishing a quiet zone along the Union Pacific railroad encompassing the Jim Miller Road, Urban Avenue, and Buckner Boulevard crossings; and WHEREAS, in order to facilitate the establishment of a quiet zone encompassing the Jim Miller Road, Urban Avenue, and Buckner Boulevard crossings, the City has adopted an ordinance and entered into an agreement with the Union Pacific Railroad Company to close and vacate Urban Avenue at its crossing with the railroad; and WHEREAS, the City desires to proceed with the implementation of a quiet zone along the Union Pacific railroad encompassing the Jim Miller Road, Urban Avenue, and Buckner Boulevard crossings by filing the required notice of establishment; Now, Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DALLAS: Section 1. That the City Manager is hereby authorized to provide the required notice to establish a quiet zone along the Union Pacific railroad encompassing the Jim Miller Road, Urban Avenue, and Buckner Boulevard crossings as provided for in the FRA s Final Train Horn Rule. Section 2. That this resolution shall take effect immediately from and after its passage in accordance with the provision of the Charter of the City of Dallas, and it is accordingly so resolved.
KEY FOCUS AREA: Economic Vibrancy ADDENDUM ITEM # 7 AGENDA DATE: November 7, 2011 COUNCIL DISTRICT(S): DEPARTMENT: Outside City Limits Water Utilities CMO: Forest E. Turner, 670-3390 MAPSCO: SUBJECT Outside City Limits Authorize an increase in the contract with Oscar Renda Contracting, Inc. for the removal of concrete basin walls and associated equipment at the Eastside Water Treatment Plant - $800,000, from $45,070,450 to $45,870,450 - Financing: Water Utilities Capital Improvement Funds BACKGROUND The existing treatment basins at the Eastside Water Treatment Plant (ESWTP) were designed for a two-step treatment process using lime as a primary chemical. The Dallas Water Utilities Treated Water System Water Quality Study initiated in 2006 and completed in 2009, recommended changes to the treatment process to increase removal of organics and subsequently reduce corrosion and chlorine residual loss in the distribution system. Several Water Quality Improvement alternatives were evaluated to achieve the recommended process changes at all three water treatment plants. One recommended improvement was to convert the two-step treatment process to a single step process by removing a concrete wall and secondary treatment equipment in the middle of the treatment basins. For ESWTP, the basin wall removal was originally planned for construction in FY 2014. On-going construction activities associated with hydraulic and chemical improvements as part of the planned Expansion to 540 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) have placed a restriction on the capacity of the ESWTP beginning September 2011 through September 2012. The ESWTP plant will be limited to 260 MGD, which reduces our total treatment capacity (all three treatment plants combined) to 650 MGD. Modeling of historical system demands show this treatment capacity nears the trigger for Stage 2 of our Drought Contingency Plan. As stated above, the removal of the basin walls is a planned construction project scheduled for FY 2014. Accelerating the removal of the walls via a change order will result in 30 MGD of additional treated water capacity from ESWTP. This will increase our overall estimated treatment capacity to 680 MGD.
BACKGROUND (Continued) The proposed work must be completed by Mid-November 2011 to allow on-going construction activities to continue and begin the transition to the new single stage treatment process. A contractor currently on-site has a demolition subcontractor mobilized at this time for similar work. By authorizing the demolition of the walls at this time, we can utilize the already mobilized subcontractor and reduce the cost of construction. Actual cost will be quantified using time and materials but the contractor has estimated the demolition activities to cost approximately $800,000. The DWU construction team will work with the contractor to develop a detailed itemized cost for the work and negotiate the final amount upon completion of the work. DWU staff estimates the work to come in slightly under $800,000. Authorizing the construction activities associated with this change order is considered added value to the City. The timing is such that the contractor needs to proceed immediately so the work can be completed within the necessary time and avoid delaying the on-going construction schedule related to plant process conversion. The construction demolition activities included in the proposed change order represent demolition activities that would have been performed in the future on a planned contract. Ultimately, this proposed work represents a low risk and relatively low cost option to achieve additional treatment capacity to help meet peak demand periods in 2012.

KEY FOCUS AREA: Economic Vibrancy ADDENDUM ITEM # 9 AGENDA DATE: November 7, 2011 COUNCIL DISTRICT(S): 4 DEPARTMENT: Housing/Community Services CMO: Ryan S. Evans, 670-3314 MAPSCO: SUBJECT 56L Authorize (1) a resolution in support of the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affair s (TDHCA) 4% low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) allocation for Buckeye Trail Commons located at 6707 Buckeye Commons Way for the new construction of the proposed 207-unit multifamily residential development for families and seniors; and (2) the issuance of tax-exempt Multifamily Housing Mortgage Revenue Bonds Series 2011 by the Dallas Housing Authority (DHA), as Housing Options, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $15,000,000 to finance the construction of Buckeye Trail Commons - Financing: No cost consideration to the City Recommendation of Staff: Approval BACKGROUND The Dallas Housing Authority (DHA), as Bexar Parc, L.P. has filed an application with TDHCA for an allocation of 4% tax credits for the Buckeye Trail Commons project located at 6707 Buckeye Trail Commons Way and has requested the City s support of the application and authorization to issue tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds to finance the construction. The Buckeye Trail Commons project is a proposed low income multifamily new construction project. This intergenerational project will have 122 units for families and 85 units for seniors. It will replace the Turner Courts public housing units that have been demolished. The unit mix will include: 105 one-bedroom units, 83 two-bedroom units, 13 three-bedroom units, 5 four-bedroom units, and one management unit. The project will serve households at 60% or less of Area Median Family Income (AMFI).
BACKGROUND (continued) The project will be financed with approximately $9,570,000 in Low Income Housing Tax Credits, up to $15,000,000 in tax exempt mortgage revenue bonds, $25,000,000 in HOPE VI funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and $2,500,000 from the City of Dallas approved in November 2010. With the project located within the city limits of Dallas, Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code requires that in order for bonds to be tax-exempt the governing body or the chief elected official of the governmental unit in which the project is located approve the issuance of the $15,000,000 in bonds by the Dallas Housing Authority (DHA), as Housing Options, Inc. In accordance with the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA), a public hearing was held by DHA/Housing Options, Inc. on October 11, 2011 at the DHA Central Office, 3939 N. Hampton Road. The bonds will not be issued by the City of Dallas nor will they be a liability to the City. As a requirement for City funding and endorsement of low income housing tax credit projects, the Applicant(s) are required to conduct a survey of the needs of the tenants as each lease is signed and will provide some or all of the following social services at no cost to the tenants, such as: after-school and summer break care for children, health screenings; counseling/domestic crisis intervention; emergency assistance, computer education, adult education programs (such as: ESL, life skills and nutrition classes, etc.); and social and recreational activities. This requirement only applies if the Applicant(s) is utilizing City funding in the financing of the low income housing tax credit project. This project is located within one mile of the proposed LIHTC multifamily project Buckeye Trail Commons II that proposes to serve the same population. State law prohibits approval of new tax credit projects that are located less than a mile from another tax credit project funded within the same year unless the projects are serving different clientele. However, if the project serving the same population was funded between one and three years, then the municipality has the authority to provide a resolution waiving the one mile three year rule. The Housing/Community Services Department is recommending that City Council grant support of the application to TDHCA for Buckeye Trail Commons for the 4% LIHTC program and allow DHA, as Housing Options, Inc. to issue up to $15,000,000 in tax exempt bonds for this project.

KEY FOCUS AREA: Economic Vibrancy ADDENDUM ITEM # 10 AGENDA DATE: November 7, 2011 COUNCIL DISTRICT(S): 4 DEPARTMENT: Housing/Community Services CMO: Ryan S. Evans, 670-3314 MAPSCO: SUBJECT 56L Authorize (1) a resolution in support of the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affair s (TDHCA) 4% low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) allocation for Buckeye Trail Commons II located at 6717 Bexar Street for the new construction of the proposed 116-unit multifamily residential development for families; and (2) the issuance of tax-exempt Multifamily Housing Mortgage Revenue Bonds Series 2011 by the Dallas Housing Authority (DHA), as Housing Options, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $10,000,000 to finance the construction of Buckeye Trail Commons II - Financing: No cost consideration to the City Recommendation of Staff: Approval BACKGROUND The Dallas Housing Authority (DHA), as Buckeye Trail Commons II, L.P. has filed an application with TDHCA for an allocation of 4% tax credits for the Buckeye Trail Commons project located at 6717 Bexar Street and has requested the City s support of the application and authorization to issue tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds to finance the construction. The Buckeye Trail Commons II project is a proposed low income multifamily new construction project. This multifamily project will have 116 units for families. It will replace the Turner Courts public housing units that have been demolished. The unit mix will include: 32 one-bedroom units, 48 two-bedroom units, and 36 three-bedroom units. The project will serve households at 60% or less of Area Median Family Income (AMFI) with 106 of the units with 10 units will be offered to households with higher incomes.
BACKGROUND (continued) The project will be financed with approximately $5,068,351 in Low Income Housing Tax Credits, up to $10,000,000 in tax exempt mortgage revenue bonds, $25,000,000 in HOPE VI funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and $2,500,000 from the City of Dallas approved in November 2010. With the project located within the city limits of Dallas, Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code requires that in order for bonds to be tax-exempt the governing body or the chief elected official of the governmental unit in which the project is located approve the issuance of the $10,000,000 in bonds by the Dallas Housing Authority (DHA), as Housing Options, Inc. In accordance with the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA), a public hearing was held by DHA/Housing Options, Inc. on October 11, 2011 at the DHA Central Office, 3939 N. Hampton Road. The bonds will not be issued by the City of Dallas nor will they be a liability to the City. As a requirement for City funding and endorsement of low income housing tax credit projects, the Applicant(s) are required to conduct a survey of the needs of the tenants as each lease is signed and will provide some or all of the following social services at no cost to the tenants, such as: after-school and summer break care for children, health screenings; counseling/domestic crisis intervention; emergency assistance, computer education, adult education programs (such as: ESL, life skills and nutrition classes, etc.); and social and recreational activities. This requirement only applies if the Applicant(s) is utilizing City funding in the financing of the low income housing tax credit project. This project is located within one mile of the proposed LIHTC multifamily project Buckeye Trail Commons that proposes to serve the same population. State law prohibits approval of new tax credit projects that are located less than a mile from another tax credit project funded within the same year unless the projects are serving different clientele. However, if the project serving the same population was funded between one and three years, then the municipality has the authority to provide a resolution waiving the one mile three year rule. The Housing/Community Services Department is recommending that City Council grant support of the application to TDHCA for Buckeye Trail Commons II for the 4% LIHTC program and allow DHA, as Housing Options, Inc. to issue up to $10,000,000 in tax exempt bonds for this project.

KEY FOCUS AREA: Economic Vibrancy ADDENDUM ITEM # 11 AGENDA DATE: November 7, 2011 COUNCIL DISTRICT(S): 2 DEPARTMENT: Housing/Community Services CMO: Ryan S. Evans, 670-3314 MAPSCO: SUBJECT 34U Authorize (1) a public hearing to be held on December 14, 2011 to receive comments on the proposed City of Dallas submission of an application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Section 108 Guarantee Loan Program loan in an amount not to exceed $4,800,000 for eligible activities, which may include acquisition, demolition of existing buildings, sitework and public improvements, relocation assistance, loan interest reserve and financing costs related to public offering to aid Chicory Court IX, LP, in the development of Champion Homes at Copperridge multi-family residential project for mixed-income families located at 5522 Maple Avenue including construction of 252 apartment units with 153 units deed restricted for 15 years for persons with incomes at 80% or less of Area Median Family Income as established by HUD; and at the close of the public hearing, (2) consideration of submission of an application to HUD for a CDBG Section 108 Guarantee Loan Program loan to aid Chicory Court IX, LP, in an amount not to exceed $4,800,000 - Financing: No cost consideration to the City BACKGROUND In pursuit of programs to help fill the gap in financing for development projects during the economic downturn beginning since the fall of 2008, City staff has researched, and in November 2008 briefed the City Council Economic Development and Housing Committees. The Committees gave preliminary approval for application to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Section 108 Guarantee loan funds for individual projects with the total of all applications not to exceed $75,000,000. The City seeks to fund projects that sustain or increase the level of business activity in the project area by expanding economic activities, improving or constructing housing, and providing jobs to low and moderate income persons. It is also important to the City that Section 108 loan repayments from borrowers match the City s required repayments to HUD on the Section 108 Guarantee Loan.
BACKGROUND (continued) Annual repayments of Section 108 Guarantee loans should be credit enhanced to eliminate risk of City making payments from annual CDBG allocations. HUD requires the City to pay financing costs related to public offering for projects approved for Section 108 funding. Section 108 applications submitted to HUD can include this cost in addition to the cost submitted in developers proposals for project development. In January 2011, Saleem Jafar, President, submitted an application to the City of Dallas on behalf of Chicory Court IX, LP, for support of their application to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) for the 2011 Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Program. On February 23, 2011, the City Council granted an approval of the Chicory Court IX, LP application to TDHCA for Champion Homes at Copperridge for the LIHTC Program. On March 7, 2011, the Housing Committee was briefed on the status of the LIHTC application for the Champion Homes at Copperridge project, and staff recommendation to move forward to full City Council with the developer's request for additional financial aid for the project. The Housing Committee voted to recommend moving the developer's request for $4,800,000 in Section 108 Guarantee Loan funds forward to the full City Council. The City has received an amended proposal from Chicory Court IX, LP, for funding in the amount of $4,800,000 from Community Development Block Grant Section 108 Guarantee Loan funds to include $252,000 for interest reserve and $48,000 for financing costs related to public offering. The Section 108 funds will be used for eligible activities, which may include acquisition, demolition of existing buildings, sitework and public improvements, relocation assistance, and loan interest reserve to aid Chicory Court IX, LP in development of Champion Homes at Copperridge, a multi-family residential project for mixed-income families located at 5522 Maple Avenue including construction of 252 apartment units with 153 units deed restricted for 15 years for affordability for persons with incomes at 80% or less of Area Median Family Income as established by HUD. The Champion Homes at Copperridge project is located in CDBG eligible Block Group 4.042. The Champion Homes at Copperridge project has received a forward commitment from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs for 9% low-income housing tax credits for 2012. The Section 108 Guarantee loan application, upon approval by City Council, will be submitted to HUD, but the funding of the Champion Homes project will be contingent upon the receipt of the tax credit funds. Agenda Date 11/07/2011 - page 2
BACKGROUND (continued) The Section 108 loan will be repaid with future TIF proceeds available to the project, project cash flow, and City Center TIF Affordable Housing funds. The Housing Committee will be briefed on December 5, 2011, regarding increase in the total Section 108 funds from $4,500,000 to $4,800,000 to be requested in the City s application submitted to HUD for the Champion Homes amended proposal to include interest reserve and financing costs related to public offering. The Council public hearing to be held on December 14, 2011, will comply with HUD regulations and City's Citizen Participation Plan of 30 days comment period. PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS) On November 17, 2008, the Economic Development Committee and the Housing Committee were briefed and gave favorable approval on CDBG Section 108 Loan Application authorization for the use of Section 108 Guarantee Loan funds to provide project gap financing or mezzanine debt necessary to move projects forward in today s financial market, to minimize, if not eliminate, the risk to the CDBG program revenue and set guidelines by which the funds would be used. On January 5, 2009, the Economic Development Committee and the Housing Committee were briefed and gave favorable approval on CDBG Section 108 Guarantee Loan fund application requirements and proposed Program Guidelines for City to apply for up to a total of $75,000,000 in guarantee loans. On January 28, 2009, the City Council adopted CDBG Section 108 Guarantee Loan Program Statement, setting out the program purpose, description, operations and project criteria by Resolution No. 09-0291. On February 22, 2011, the Housing Committee was briefed on and gave support of an application from Champion Homes at Copperridge to Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) for approval of a 9% LIHTC allocation.

KEY FOCUS AREA: Economic Vibrancy ADDENDUM ITEM # 12 AGENDA DATE: November 7, 2011 COUNCIL DISTRICT(S): 13 DEPARTMENT: Sustainable Development and Construction CMO: Ryan S. Evans, 670-3314 MAPSCO: SUBJECT 25 F A public hearing to receive comments regarding an application for and a resolution granting a variance to the alcohol spacing requirements from the St. Mark's School of Texas required by Section 6-4 of the Dallas City Code to allow a wine and beer retailer's off-premise permit for a general merchandise or food store greater than 30,000 square feet on property on the southeast corner of Preston Road and Royal Lane Financing: No cost consideration to the City BACKGROUND On November 9, 2009, the City Council approved an amendment to Section 6-4 of Chapter 6, Alcoholic Beverages, of the Dallas City Code to allow a process for a variance to the spacing requirements between a business selling alcohol and a public or private school. On October 26, 2011, the City Council further amended Section 6-4 of Chapter 6. The latest amendments allows Council to grant a variance from any protected use; reduces the size of a general merchandise or food store that can request a variance from 50,000 to 30,000 square feet; and adds a restaurant without drive-in or drive-through service with a wine or beer retailer s permit with a food and beverage certificate or a mixed beverage permit with a food and beverage certificate. The standard spacing requirement is 300 feet between the property line of the business and the property line of the school. However under certain circumstances, the City Council may grant a variance to the distance. The standard for approval of the variance is that: A. the application is for a wine and beer retailer s permit pursuant to Chapter 25 of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code with a food and beverage certificate; a wine and beer retailer s off-premise permit pursuant to Chapter 26 of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code; or a mixed beverage permit pursuant to Chapter 28 of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code with a food and beverage certificate;
BACKGROUND (continued) B. the application is for a general merchandise or food store use with 30,000 square feet or more of floor area or a restaurant without drive-in or drive-through service; C. the front door of the business where alcoholic beverages will be sold does not face the property of the protected use; D. alcoholic beverages will not be sold by drive-in or drive-through service; and E. enforcement of the spacing requirements in this particular instance: (i) is not in the best interest of the public; (ii) constitutes waste or inefficient use of land or other resources; (iii) creates an undue hardship on an applicant for an alcohol permit; (iv) does not serve its intended purpose; (v) (vi) is effective or necessary; or for any other reason that the City Council, after consideration of the health, safety, and welfare of the public and the equities of the situation, determines is in the best interest of the community. An application for a waiver of the spacing requirements was submitted on October 26, 2011, by HEB Beverage Company, LLC. The property owner is Southeast Preston Royal, LTD. St. Mark s School of Texas located on the east side of Preston Road, south of Royal Lane and is the school that creates the need for the variance. The applicant has submitted the following information regarding item E above: The location of the proposed Central Market grocery store is within a large shopping center parcel of approximately 8 acres. While the larger shopping center tract is barely within 300 feet of the private school campus, the location of the proposed Central Market grocery store is at the opposite corner of the 8 acres the furthest distance from the school property. The store entrance faces west and would actually be a walking distance of over 1,477.7 feet along the nearest public sidewalks to the closest corner of the school campus which is located to the south of the shopping center tract. In contrast, the first alcohol distance variance was approved by the City Council for the Kroger store under construction at Cityplace with a walking distance of only 325.8. This sets up an odd situation with regard to distance from the school. There are several commercial buildings along Preston Road that have entrances that are actually much closer to the school property than the entrance to the proposed Central Market. However, solely because those buildings are on separately platted lots rather than one large lot they would not need a variance to sell alcohol under the City s rules. Agenda Date 11/07/2011 - page 2
BACKGROUND (continued) In this instance, strict enforcement of the alcohol distance requirements is overly restrictive and is not in the best interest of the public for the following reasons: It would constitute an inefficient use of land because strict enforcement would prevent a grocery store with alcohol sales from occupying a lease space that is suited only for such a larger format retailer and is ideally located for grocery store use. Not only would the inability to sell alcohol represent a hardship to the applicant as it would place it at a disadvantage to competing grocery stores, this result would be achieved solely because the applicants lease space is part of a very large tract whose farthest end is closer to the school property, rather than the business itself being close to the school property. And, this result would occur even though the grocery store entrance would be located much farther from the private school campus than an existing convenience store with alcohol sales when measured along public walking routes. In addition, it would be located farther from a number of other buildings that are permitted alcohol sales without the need to obtain a variance. Accordingly, the restriction would not be effective in serving its intended purpose because it would serve only to restrict alcohol sales from a business that is no closer to the school than from existing alcohol sales. Strict enforcement is not necessary as allowing the variance only for the Central Market lease space would still contain alcohol sales to areas that are far removed from the entrance to the public school. Moreover, it should be noted that the private school in question has a large and sprawling campus. The portion of the campus within 300 feet of the shopping center tract is a very small edge of the school property located at that corner of the campus that is farthest from any building entrance or campus. Moreover, this portion of the campus is not part of the original school site. It is comprised of a block of formerly residential land that was a later addition to the campus. Though intervening City streets have been abandoned, it remains separated from the main portion of the campus by parking areas and private drives. The site is approximately eight acres developed with a multi-tenant shopping center and is located in a CR Community Retail District. The site is surrounded by residential uses to the east and immediately south and retail uses to the north and west. The St. Mark s School of Texas is located further south beyond the residential uses. The site is located at the intersection of two major thoroughfares. Given the distance of the proposed use from the school site, staff can support this request. This item requires two seconds to pass. Agenda Date 11/07/2011 - page 3

The request is made to allow beer and wine sales for off-premise consumption in conjunction with a proposed Central Market grocery store to be comprised of33,788 square feet located in the former Borders book store space in the retail center located at the southeast comer of Preston Road at Royal Lane (10720 Preston Road, Suite 1018). In support of this request, we offer the following required information: (A) Name ofthe owner of the property where the alcohol business will be located: Southeast Preston Royal, LTD (B) Name and address ofthe applicant for the alcohol permit: HEB Beverage Company, LLC P.O. Box 839999 San Antonio, TX 78283-3999 (C) Type of alcohol permit being sought: Wine and Beer Retailer's Off-Premise Permit (D) Name and address of the protected use (private school): Saint Mark's School oftexas 10600 Preston Road Dallas, TX 75230 901 Main Street, Suite 6000 Dalla<;, Texas 75202 (214) 953-6000 fax (214) 953-5822 www.jw.com Austin Dallas Fort Worth Houston San Angelo San Antonio Member of GLOBALAW$M 5949832v.l
Ms. Neva Dean October 26, 20II Page 2 (E) Statement regarding how the request meets the variance standards ofthe City Code: The location of the proposed Central Market grocery store is within a large shopping center parcel of approximately 8 acres. While the larger shopping center tract is barely within 300 feet ofthe private school campus, the location ofthe proposed Central Market grocery store is at the opposite corner ofthe 8 acres the furthest distance from the school property. (See Exhibit A) The store entrance faces west and would actually be a walking distance ofover 1,477.7 feet along the nearest public sidewalks to the closest corner of the school campus which is located to the south of the shopping center tract. In contrast, the first alcohol distance variance was approved by the City Council for the Kroger store under construction at Cityplace with a walking distance of only 325.8'. This sets up an odd situation with regard to distance from the school. There are several commercial buildings along Preston Road that have entrances that are actually much closer to the school property than the entrance to the proposed Central Market. However, solely because those buildings are on separately platted lots rather than one large lot they would not need a variance to sell alcohol under the City's rules. (See Exhibit B). In this instance, strict enforcement ofthe alcohol distance requirements is overly restrictive and is not in the best interest of the public for the following reasons: It would constitute an inefficient use of land because strict enforcement would prevent a grocery store with alcohol sales from occupying a lease space that is suited only for such a larger format retailer and is ideally located for grocery store use. Not only would the inability to sell alcohol represent a hardship to the applicant as it would place it at a disadvantage to competing grocery stores, this result would be achieved solely because the applicant's lease space is part ofa very large tract whose farthest end is closer to the school property, rather than the business itself being close to the school property. And, this result would occur even though the grocery store entrance would be located much farther from the private school campus than an existing convenience store with alcohol sales when measured along public walking routes. In addition, it would be located farther from a number of other buildings that are permitted alcohol sales without the need to obtain a variance. (See Exhibit B). Accordingly, the restriction would not be effective in serving its intended purpose because it would serve only to restrict alcohol sales from a business that is no closer to the school than from existing alcohol sales. Strict enforcement is not necessary as allowing the variance only for the Central Market lease space would still contain alcohol sales to areas that are far removed from the entrance to the public school. Moreover, it should be noted that the private school in question has a large and sprawling campus. The portion of the campus within 300 feet of the shopping center tract is a very small edge of the school property located at that comer of the campus that is farthest from any building entrance or active student areas. In fact, it appears to include only an area that is outside ofthe perimeter fence ofthe campus. Moreover, this portion ofthe campus is not part of the original school site. It is comprised ofa block offormerly residential land that was a later addition to the campus. Though intervening City streets have been abandoned, it remains separated from the main portion of the campus by parking areas and private drives. (See Exhibit C) For these reasons, the applicant respectfully requests approval of a variance pursuant to Section 6-4(g) of the City Code. In support of the application, enclosed please find the following additional documentation is included: (I) Cashier's checks payable to the City of Dallas totaling $1,200.00 representing the application fee; and 5949832v.1
