Public Hearing
El Rio Restaurant (Agenda Item III)
Chairman Armand read the agenda item into the record as follows:
"Consider request by El Rio's Restaurant to amend the existing Specific Use
Permit to include additional seating for a Restaurant/Private Club located at
602 E. Main. The property is located in the Eagle Plaza Shopping Center
Addition to the City of Allen, a tract of land in the David Weisel Survey,
Abstract No. 977, recorded in Cabinet D, Page 133 of the Collin County
Deed Records; more particularly described as being the southeast corner of
F. M. 2170 and Jupiter Road."
Mr. Keener advised the Commission that this request is for an amendment to the
Specific Use Permit currently on this property, and is being requested by the
current tenant. The request meets all the criteria of the Zoning Ordinance.
Mr. Ron Crocket, one of the owners of the restaurant, advised the Commission
that they have received many requests for meeting space. A portion of the
remodeled area will be in the kitchen and the remainder will be an addition to
seating space for patrons. Approximately 92% of their sales at this time is food,
and 8% is mixed beverage.
Chairman Armand opened the public hearing. With no one wishing to speak for or
against this request, Chairman Armand closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Garcia reviewed the conditions of the Zoning Ordinance regarding
the Specific Use Permit for a restaurant/private club and it was determined that
the restaurant meets all of those requirements.
Commissioner Fulk questioned whether this additional seating space would impact
the parking requirements at the shopping center and Mr. Keener advised that the
parking was satisfied at the time the shopping center was developed.
MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Garcia and a second by Commissioner
Owen, the Commission voted 6 FOR and 0 OPPOSED to approve the
request for amendment to the SUP for E1 Rio Restaurant.
FINDINGS:
1. The restaurant meets all the criteria of the Zoning Ordinance related to a
Specific Use Permit for a restaurant/private club.

Workshop
Review of Subdivision Ordinance Agenda Item IV)
Mr. Keener provided the Commission a page delineating definitions of the
abbreviations used on page 28 of the existing Subdivision Ordinance, and reviewed
differences between Allen and COG standards for thoroughfare design. This
included items such as lane width, curb and median cuts, etc. One area appearing
to have considerable deviation between Allen and the COG standards is the
minimum stopping site distance, median width, and minimum space median opening.
Mr. Glab suggested that in places where Allen's standards reflect "maximum," he
would suggest using one number rather than a range of numbers.
Adjourn:
MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Garcia and a second by Commissioner
Fulk, the Commission voted 5 FOR and 0 OPPOSED to adjourn the
February 9, 1989, meeting of the Allen Planning & Zoning Commission
at 8:55 p.m.
These minutes approved this day of , 1989.
