REQUEST FOR ZONING RECLASSIFICATION PLANNING AND DEVELOPOMENT SERVICES FILE NO.: Z0518-0039 P&Z HEARING DATE: July 9, 2018 COUNCIL DATE: August 6, 2018 GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: REQUESTED ACTION: Veronica Becerra on behalf of Kids Empire Dallas Mesquite, LLC. Rezone from General Retail to Planned Development General Retail with a Conditional Use Permit to allow an indoor recreational facility (indoor children s playground). LOCATION: 3600 Gus Thomasson Road, Suite 125 SITE BACKGROUND EXISTING LAND USE AND SIZE: The Conditional Use Permit is for an approximately 15,457 +/- square-foot lease space located in the Towne Crossing Shopping Center which is zoned General Retail and is currently unoccupied. SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING (see attached map): North: Apartments zoned PD-Multifamily #1872. East: Apartments zoned PD-Multifamily #1872 South: Retail and restaurant uses zoned Commercial. West: Retail, financial services, automotive services zoned Commercial. ZONING HISTORY: 1954: Annexed and zoned Residential 1967: Rezoned to Multifamily 1974: Rezoned to General Retail PLATTING: Towne Crossing Addition, Block C, Lot 1 GENERAL: The applicant initially requested a rezoning to Light Commercial (LC) with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow an indoor recreational facility (indoor playground). However, instead of rezoning to LC, the applicant was agreeable to staff s suggestion that the request should be for a Planned Development (PD) with the base zoning of GR. The request includes a rezoning to PD-GR as indoor recreation is not permitted in the General Retail (GR) zoning district with/without a CUP. Rezoning to PD-GR would allow approval of the CUP for indoor recreation without having to allow those uses that are permitted by right in the LC zoning district. In addition to requiring a CUP, the Mesquite Zoning Ordinance does not permit the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit for indoor recreation within a building that is within 100 feet of any residential zoning district including a multifamily zoning district. While the property is within 100 feet of multifamily zoning, it is not within 100-feet of any single family home or single family zoning. The closest single family home is more than 1,200 feet from the subject property. Rezoning to a PD would allow granting the CUP in this situation.
FILE NO.: Z0518-0039 Page 2 STAFF COMMENTS According to the applicant s letter of intent, the Indoor Children s Play Ground is a Fitness Center for children ages 2-12 years of age. The facility includes floor to ceiling climbing bars, slides, a running course, imagination areas, smaller play rooms for toddlers, a children s disco room and a seating area. The concept is to allow children to interact and be social while enjoying physical activity. The facility will have a pantry that will provide drinks and prepacked snacks. No food is prepared on site. The business will be open 7 days per week. Hours are expected to be from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm Monday through Thursday and 10:00 am to 10:00 pm Friday through Sunday. The facility will also be available for birthday parties and special events. Mesquite Comprehensive Plan The subject property is located within the Town East Retail and Restaurant Area (TERRA) as designated in the Mesquite Comprehensive Plan. The Plan states the following for TERRA: TERRA is the major retail district for eastern Dallas County and the counties to the east, providing a concentration of retail, service and entertainment uses oriented primarily toward family services In order to regulate and restrict those uses which were considered problematic to the area s regional retail and entertainment role, a zoning overlay district was adopted in 1996. Uses which were targeted in the overlay include uses generating truck traffic or otherwise adding to area congestion; uses with visual or aesthetic characteristics not normally present in a retail-type area; and uses with characteristics disruptive to family- and customer-oriented retail and entertainment uses. Staff expects that indoor recreation will be consistent with TERRA s role as a major retail district. No increase in truck traffic, visual intrusion, or adverse impacts on adjacent properties/uses are anticipated. Mesquite Zoning Ordinance Sec. 5-303: Review Criteria for Conditional Use Permits (Staff comments are provided below each criteria in bold.) 1. Existing Uses The Conditional Use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate area for purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the immediate vicinity. The subject property is surrounded by nonresidential uses to the west and to the south. To the north and to the east are apartments. The nonresidential uses include gas stations, offices, restaurants, retail and personal services. In staff s opinion, the proposed indoor recreational use is compatible with surrounding uses. The proposed use also conforms to the Comprehensive Plan designation for the area.
FILE NO.: Z0518-0039 Page 3 2. Vacant Properties The Conditional Use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant property for uses predominant in the area. Staff does not expect this proposed use to impact the development or redevelopment of any nearby property. 3. Services Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage, and other necessary facilities have been or are being provided. Adequate utilities, access roads and drainage facilities exist for the site and are sufficient for accommodating the demands associated with the request for a Conditional Use Permit. 4. Parking Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide sufficient off-street parking and loading spaces to serve the proposed uses. The parking lot contains sufficient spaces to accommodate all currently operating businesses and vacant suites. The subject property has over 800 parking spaces. 5. Performance Standards Adequate measures have been or will be taken to prevent or control offensive odor, fumes, dust, noise, and vibration, so that none of these will constitute a nuisance and to control lighted signs and other lights in such a manner that no disturbance to neighboring properties will result. Staff anticipates no disturbances to neighboring businesses a result of the proposed use. Conclusion The 16 acre property consists of four retail buildings and includes retail, restaurant and personal service uses. The subject property is surrounded by retail and commercial uses. There are multifamily developments to the north and east of the subject property. The proposed CUP to allow an indoor recreational facility is consistent with the future land use designation of the Comprehensive Plan and will be compatible with the surrounding uses. The proposed use would also provide an adaptive reuse of an existing big box retail building. Rezoning to a PD GR will allow the subject property to have indoor recreational uses subject to CUP approval without having to permit all the additional uses that are allowed by right in the LC zoning district. Rezoning to a PD would also allow the CUP to be permitted within 100 feet of a residential zoning district. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends rezoning the subject property from General Retail to Planned Development General Retail with the following stipulations: 1. The uses permitted shall be limited to those uses permitted by right in the General Retail zoning district provided that a Conditional Use Permit may be granted to allow indoor recreation facilities and such use may be permitted within 100 feet of a residential district.
FILE NO.: Z0518-0039 Page 4 2. A Conditional Use Permit for indoor recreation is hereby approved with the following conditions: a. This Conditional Use Permit shall be limited to Suite 125, a 15,457 +/- square-foot building. b. The Conditional Use Permit is granted specifically to Kids Empire Dallas Mesquite, LLC, doing business as Kids Empire and is not assignable or transferrable. PUBLIC NOTICE Notices were mailed to property owners within 200 feet of the property. As of the date of this writing, staff has not received any returned notices from property owners within 200 feet of the subject properties.

The approximately 5.8 acre property is currently used as a car dealership with outdoor display of used vehicles. North of the subject property is a car dealership. Further north is a retail center with some outparcels. To the east, undeveloped property. Immediately to the south of the subject property are 16200 and 16230 IH 635 which are currently used by Fenton Motors as their new car dealership in connection with their Hyundai dealership. Further south are the Trophy Nissan dealerships.

In 2017, Fenton Motors received approval of a CUP to establish their used car sales at 16160 and 16170 IH 635. 16190 IH 635 already had a CUP from a previous tenant that allowed used car sales. In 2017, Fenton Motors planned on using 16190 and 16200 IH 635 for new car sales while using 16160 and 16170 IH 635 primarily for used car sales. This plan was based on Fenton Motors having to vacate 16230 IH 635 due to an expiring lease. However, in 2018 Fenton Motors was able to purchase 16230 IH 635 and will not have to vacate the property. As result of this, Fenton Motors no longer needs 16160, Planning and Development Services Department Planning & Zoning Division Prepared by: Garrett Langford, AICP
FILE NO.: Z0618-0046 Page 2 STAFF COMMENTS 16170 and 16190 IH 635 for their dealership and now plan to sell the properties to Drive Time Car Sales. Drive Time Car Sales is requesting a CUP to allow used car sales for 16170 and 16190 IH 635. The applicant does not plan on using 16160 IH 635 for a car dealership. The applicant plans on selling/leasing 16160 IH 635 to another user that is allowed by right in the Light Commercial zoning district. Mesquite Comprehensive Plan The subject property is located within the LBJ North Business Corridor; a High Intensity Development Area. These areas incorporate frontages along freeways and highway corridors which provide the highest levels of regional accessibility and provide appropriate locations for a variety of business and commercial uses, serving both regional and community customers, as well as highway related uses serving travelers throughout the area. The Plan states that the area should continue as an appropriate location for the existing dealerships; however, further expansion of the outdoor display lots is not recommended. Analysis The subject property has been zoned for an outdoor display lot since 1986. The subject property is included in an area where the Plan recognizes that outdoor display lots are permissible provided that there are no expansion of outdoor display lots. Staff does not consider this request to be an expansion of outdoor display. The proposed CUP is consistent with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. Mesquite Zoning Ordinance Sec. 5-303: Review Criteria for Conditional Use Permits (Staff comments are provided below each criteria in bold.) 1. Existing Uses The Conditional Use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate area for purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the immediate vicinity. There are numerous car dealerships in the area. Allowing a car dealership to occupy an existing dealership facility with appropriate conditions should not impact adjacent properties or affect property values in the area. 2. Vacant Properties The Conditional Use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant property for uses predominant in the area. Staff does not expect this use to impact the development of any nearby property. 3. Services Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage, and other necessary facilities have been or are being provided. Adequate utilities, access roads and drainage facilities exist for the site and are sufficient for accommodating the demands associated with the request for a CUP.
FILE NO.: Z0618-0046 Page 3 4. Parking Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide sufficient off-street parking and loading spaces to serve the proposed uses. Adequate parking will need to be provided. The proposed concept plan indicates a sufficient amount of parking for inventory, as well as, customer and employee parking. 5. Performance Standards Adequate measures have been or will be taken to prevent or control offensive odor, fumes, dust, noise, and vibration, so that none of these will constitute a nuisance and to control lighted signs and other lights in such a manner that no disturbance to neighboring properties will result. Staff anticipates no disturbances to neighboring properties as a result of the proposed use. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit with following stipulations: 1. Display of vehicles shall be limited to the number of display spaces and display areas as noted on the Concept Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A. Display spaces and customer parking shall comply with the parking and access standards in Section 3-400 of the Mesquite Zoning Ordinance. 2.

MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: Planning and Zoning Commission Garrett Langford, AICP, Planning and Zoning Manager DATE: July 6, 2018 SUBJECT: Zoning text amendment for new and/or revised regulations of indoor recreational uses. At the July 9, 2018 meeting, staff will present to the Commission a proposed Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment on new and/or revised regulations of indoor recreational facilities. In the past several months, there have been a couple of request for conditional use permits and rezonings to allow indoor recreational uses such as a bounce house and a trampoline park. Both of these request have been approved by City Council. In each of these request, not only was it was determined that indoor recreational use would not have an adverse impact on surrounding properties but that the proposed use would be a benefit to the surrounding properties by allowing for an adaptive reuse of vacant spaces/buildings. Staff is proposing to amend the permitted use table that to allow indoor recreational facilities by right in most non-residential zoning districts. The proposed amendment will also establish a definition for indoor recreational uses and establish what the parking requirements will be for such uses.

Concern has been raised about variety stores and their possible effects on the community. Staff has prepared an ordinance that would require approval of variety stores by conditional use permit (CUP). In addition to the standard CUP criteria, additional criteria would be evaluated related to the effects of variety stores on the availability and potential availability of healthy food in the area. Through the Comprehensive Plan process and subsequent ordinance amendments, staff will be looking deeper into the issue of healthy community initiatives and assuring that our ordinances protect and provide for the ability for all citizens of Mesquite to have reasonable access to healthy food.
