Regular Agenda
3. Public Hearing — Conduct a Public Hearing and consider a request to develop and use the
property as a Minor Automotive Repairs use and incorporate a Specific Use Permit SUP Site
Plan, Landscape Plan and Building Elevations, for Midas Auto Care Center. The property is Lot
I, Block I of Cottonwood Creek Village Shopping Center No. 3, City of Allen, Collin County,
Texas; located north of main Street and west of Greenville Avenue (and commonly known as 123
N. Greenville Avenue). (SUP 8/2/13-55) [Midas Auto Care Center]
Shelby Griffin, Planner, presented to the Commission. She stated that the request is for a Specific Use
Permit (SUP) for a minor automotive repairs use. The subject property is currently zoned Shopping
Center (SC). The Allen Land Development Code (ALDC) requires that a SUP is considered before
allowing this particular use to develop within a Shopping Center (SC) zoning district.
Ms. Griffin explained that the existing site is operating as a fueling station and convenience store with a
non-operating car wash. The applicant is proposing to remove all site infrastructures for the fueling
station, convenience store and car wash and rebuild a minor automotive repairs use for Midas Auto Care
Center.
The SUP Site Plan shows a 4,575 square foot building. The building shows four (4) bays on either side of
the building and oriented away from the Greenville Avenue
Ms. Griffin informed the Commission that the SUP Site Plan provides more than the required number of
parking spaces for this use. She added that the SUP Landscape Plan exceeds the required open space for
a
this site by 2% and that a sidewalk will be constructed along Greenville Avenue.
The building is one (1) story and reaches a height of twenty-two (22) feet. The building will be
constructed of brick and stone with metal fascia on two (2) of the elevations.
This request has been reviewed by the Technical Review Committee and meets the standards of the
ALDC If the SUP is approved it would be granted exclusively for Midas Auto Care Center.
Chairman Wendland opened the Public Hearing.
With no one choosing to come forward, the Public Hearing was closed
Motion: Upon a motion by Commissioner Trahan, and a second by
2"d Vice Chair Mangrum, the Commission voted 6 IN FAVOR, and 0
OPPOSED to recommend approval of the request for a Specific Use Permit
for a Minor Automotive Repairs use for Midas Auto Care Center on Lot 1,
Block 1 of Cottonwood Creek Village Shopping Center No. 3 and more
commonly known as 123 N. Greenville Avenue.
The motion carried.
4. Public Hearing— Conduct a Public Hearing and consider a request for a Specific Use Permit SUP
for a Minor Automotive Repairs use for Waterfalls Car Wash and Lube. The property is Lots I
and 4, Mark VII Equipment of Texas Inc.; and commonly known as 811 and 813 S. Greenville
Avenue, Allen, Texas. (SUP -10/23/13-74) [Waterfalls Car Wash & Lube]
Tiffany McLeod, Senior Planner, presented to he Commission. The property is zoned Planned
Development No. 3 Shopping Center (SC) and was developed between 1997 and 1999 for Waterfalls
Carwash and Lube. She explained that during this time, the ALDC did not require a SUP within a
Shopping Center (SC) zoning district for auto glass, muffler, brakes, oil, lube, tires, batteries, and auto
laundry services to operate. These particular uses were allowed by right in the SC zoning district. In
addition, the Minor Automotive Repairs use was not an established or defined use in the ALDC at that
time.
Ms. McLeod stated that the applicant for Waterfalls Carwash & Lube is requesting an SUP for a Minor
Automotive Repairs use in order to expand their services to the current Minor Automotive Repairs use
definition
Ms. McLeod described where the minor automotive uses would be located on the site and how they are
accessed. She explained that the applicant has resubmitted the SUP request with the following proposed
improvements to address the traffic concerns made by the City Council at the May 14, 2013 meeting.
• The construction of a 6" concrete curb, with firelane striping, and pavers at the firelane
intersection on the southwest end of the site.
• The addition of two (2) parking spaces in front of the building designated for oil changes.
• The construction of a 6" mountable curb, with firelane striping, in front of the car wash tunnel
exit and extending to the northem property boundary
Ms. McLeod stated that staff recommends approval of the SUP request.
I" Vice Chair Cocking asked for further explanation of a mountable curb. Ms. McLeod stated that the
curb provides a more gradual slope on either side of the curb to allow vehicles to traverse overtop of the
curb. Assistant Director of Engineering, Shawn Poe, agreed.
Commissioner Ogrizovich asked Ms. McLeod if the proposed plan addresses all of the City Council's
concerns. Ms. McLeod stated that it does.
Chairman Wendland opened the Public Hearing.
