BRIEFING SESSION
Prior to the regular business meeting, the City Plan Commission met with staff to receive a
briefing on agenda items and staff reports. No action was taken.
MINUTES
1. Approval of the minutes of the regular business meeting of April 17, 2012.
Motion:
Vice Chair Hammond made a motion to approve the minutes as presented; second

PUBLIC HEARINGS
2. Zoning File 11-24 Bowser Self-Service Warehouse: Consider and take necessary action on
a request by Kenneth R. Smith, representing Heath Asset Management, LP, for approval of a
Special Permit for a self-service warehouse with modified development standards. The 1.6acre site is currently zoned I-FP(2) Industrial and is located at the southeast corner of Bowser
Road and Alpha Drive.
Mr. Chavez reported that the application, which had been presented and continued on two
previous occasions by the Commission, was a request for approval of a climate-controlled
self-service warehouse with modified development standards within an existing 40,000
square foot office/warehouse building. He added that the reason for the continuations was to
allow the applicant and the staff time to refine the proposed concept plan.
Richardson City Plan Commission Minutes
May 1, 2012
Mr. Chavez presented the applicant’s revised Zoning Site Plan (Exhibit E) indicating a two
phase conversion of the 40,000 square foot existing building into a self-service warehouse.
Phase I would convert the western 20,000 square feet of the building into storage units, with
the eastern 20,000 square feet reserved for the existing tenant, Verizon. The Phase I
conversion would include:

A 500-square foot office store front with awnings at the northwest corner of the building

120 storage units

4% landscaping or 2,755 square feet (none previously existed)

Re-established parkways along Alpha Drive (5-foot wide sidewalks and 4.5-foot wide
landscape parkway) and Industrial Drive (5-foot wide sidewalks and 2-foot wide
landscape parkway) with the landscaping accounting for approximately 1,496 square feet.

35 parking spaces provided, 33 spaces required (120 storage units + office and the
Verizon facility)

Two (2) modified driveways on Alpha Drive with modified spacing and throat depth by
isolating the loading ramp and creating the driveways on either side.

A dumpster enclosure centrally located on the north side of the facility and angled to 55
degrees (City maximum angle is 30 degrees) aligning the approach for a sanitation truck
to conform with the City’s standards.
Mr. Chavez pointed out that Phase II would be implemented when Verizon vacates the
eastern half of the building and would include:

1,500 square feet of additional office space

105 additional storage units

4% additional landscaping or an additional 2,633 square feet

20 parking spaces provided, 12 spaces required (105 storage units + 1,500 sq. ft. office)

Elimination of the eastern most driveway on Alpha Drive

A modified driveway on Industrial Drive (conforming)
In closing his presentation, Mr. Chavez stated that with the proposed changes the applicant
had addressed the concerns that staff had with on-site maneuverability, and at build out the
site would support a 2,000 square foot office space, 225 storage units, 5,388 square feet of
landscaping or 8% of the site area, 28 parking spaces (20 required), and 1,649 square feet of
parkway landscape area along Alpha and Industrial Drives.

May 1, 2012
Chairman Gantt noted that at the last meeting it was mentioned there would be some type of
steel fencing around the center ramp to prevent anyone from driving across the ramp, and the
ramp on the western side of the building was to be filled in and paved over.
Mr. Chavez replied that there would be bollards on both sides of the center ramp, and the
ramp on the western side of the building would be filled in with concrete.
Commissioner Maxwell asked if there was a possibility that Phase II might never take place
since it was not activated by Verizon vacating the eastern portion of the building and noted
that the applicant could lease the space to another tenant.
Mr. Chavez replied that was correct.
Vice Chair Hammond asked if the applicant’s preference to limit the amount of pervious
surface directly adjacent to the building because of concern for foundation issues and
underground utilities were the only two items to prevent them from putting landscaping up
against the building. He also wanted to know about the entrance, egress and security for the
building.
Mr. Chavez replied that the two reasons stated were the only items preventing landscaping
against the building, and the applicant would discuss the concerns about entrance, egress and
security during the public hearing.
Commissioner DePuy asked what the timeframe was between Phase I and II.
Mr. Chavez replied there is an existing lease agreement with Verizon, but he was not sure of
the length of the agreement.
Commissioner Hand asked if there were any other possible dumpster locations that did not
include backing the sanitation truck into the street.
Mr. Chavez replied there was one other location that was reviewed, but it would not come
into play until Phase II was in place. Also, because of the limited amount of space between
the building and the property line it was difficult to locate a dumpster without it being in
front of the building.
With no further questions for staff, Chairman Gantt opened the public hearing.
Mr. Ken Smith, 4925 Greenville Avenue, Dallas, Texas, thanked the staff for their assistance
in making all the changes and said he was available for any questions.
Chairman Gantt reminded the applicant about the questions regarding security and the timing
of Phase I and II.
Mr. Smith replied that the business would be open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and outside of
those hours the business would be secured by roll up doors covering the entrance. In
3
May 1, 2012
addition, anyone accessing the business during the hours of operation will have to enter a key
code to open the interior glass doors and there will be security cameras that are monitored 24
hours a day.
Regarding the timing issue, Mr. Smith stated that it was his intent to start Phase I as soon as
possible after approval from the City, but the start of Phase II would have to wait until the
current lease with Verizon expires.
Vice Chair Hammond asked if there would be tenant access outside the stated 7:00 a.m. to
7:00 p.m. business hours.
Mr. Smith replied those were the most common hours for self-service warehouses and it was
not his intention to have a 24 hour facility.
There were no other comments in favor or opposed and Chairman Gantt closed the public
hearing.
Chairman Gantt and Commissioner DePuy stated the proposal was much improved over the
original submittal and thanked the staff and the applicant for making the changes.
Commissioner Bright asked if there was any way the driveway throat depth standards could
be met on the property.
Mr. Chavez replied they had tried multiple landscape and site variations and the current
version was the only one that allowed the maximum amount of space and still allowed the
site to function as intended.
Commissioner Hand asked if the landscape buffer was removed would that increase the
possibility that concerns over the driveway openings and dumpster location could be
satisfied.
Mr. Chavez stated the answer was no.
Motion:
Commissioner DePuy made a motion to approve Zoning File 11-24 as presented;
second by Commissioner Frederick. Motion passed 6-1 with Commissioner Hand
opposed.
3. Zoning File 12-05: Consider and take necessary action on a request by Darryl M. Burman,
representing Group 1 Realty, Inc., for a Special Permit with special conditions for a motor
vehicle repair shop-major to be located at 1700 Gateway Boulevard, which is to be used in
conjunction with the existing Courtesy Nissan dealership located at 1777 N. Central
Expressway. The property is currently zoned C-M Commercial.
Mr. Shacklett reported that the request was for a Special Permit with special conditions for a
repair shop associated with the Courtesy Nissan dealership on Central Expressway. He
explained that a Special Permit was required because even though the City ordinance does
4
May 1, 2012
allow a repair facility as part of a dealership by right in a C-M Commercial District, the
proposed facility would be located on a separate lot.
Mr. Shacklett noted that the proposed 25,000 square foot facility will include 21,000 square
feet of area on the first floor with service bays, inspections areas and a car wash. The second
floor will be a mezzanine style floor on the south end of the building for parts storage, and
the third floor will be a rooftop parking deck.
Mr. Shacklett reviewed some of the proposed changes to the site including the following:





Building constructed of tilt wall panels inlaid with brick veneer.
20-foot landscape buffer along Gateway Boulevard including canopy and ornamental
trees.
Tubular steel fence with masonry columns around the site.
Two 34-foot stair towers at either end of the building.
6-foot parapet to screen vehicles parked on the rooftop.
In closing his presentation, Mr. Shacklett stated that no correspondence had been received
and the permitted use could only be used in conjunction with the lot to the east.
Commissioner Frederick asked if the rendering was attached to the ordinance, did it lock the
applicant to the building color as well as the doors that would be used.
Mr. Shacklett replied that the color rendering would not be part of the ordinance; only the
black and white elevations. He added that the proposed color is listed on the elevations and
the applicant would have to be in substantial conformance with the ordinance, but if they
wanted to change anything they would have to come back before the Commission to amend
the elevations.
Commissioner Maxwell asked if the dealership no longer existed, could the facility act as a
stand alone repair shop.
Mr. Shacklett replied that because of the way the special conditions were written, that would
not be possible. He added that in 2008 the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance was amended
to require repair shops to acquire a Special Permit; however, new car dealerships were
allowed by right, as part of their business, to have repair shop facilities on their site.
Vice Chair Hammond asked if there were other designs proposed or considered regarding the
façade, and wanted to know what the black openings were on the east side of the building.
Mr. Shacklett replied the openings were windows along the east side of the building, and
there had been discussions about the elevations, but the proposed elevation fit the applicant’s
requirements for the building. He added that the building will have some articulation around
5
May 1, 2012
the stair towers, and the tilt wall construction will be inlaid with three-quarter inch brick so it
will appear to be a brick building instead of the typical tilt wall construction.
Mr. Chavez stated that another feature that cannot be seen on the rendering are the different
types of bonds in the construction including a running bond, a stack bond, and a roll lock,
which will add character and texture to the building and be more decorative.
Commissioner Hand asked if the property was being acquired based on the Commission’s
approval of the request.
Mr. Shacklett replied that Group 1 operates as Courtesy Nissan and owns the lot to the west
along Gateway Boulevard; however, the lot to the east that fronts on Central Expressway is
owned by another entity, but Courtesy Nissan will have the use of that property and no sale
of the property is planned.
With no further questions, Chairman Gantt opened the public hearing.
Mr. Mark Whittaker, Dynamic Engineering, 1904 Main Street, Lake Como, New Jersey,
representing Courtesy Nissan, stated that Group 1 Automotive, in addition to operating
Courtesy Nissan, is one of the top three publicly held auto dealers in the country operating
125 dealerships in the United States.
Mr. Whittaker noted that Group 1 Realty owns the property where the proposed repair shop
would be located and made significant capital investments in the property and building
including:





Construction of the pre-cast panels with the brick veneer
Addition of landscape buffer
Maintaining the existing trees along Gateway Boulevard
Adding tubular steel and masonry fence and additional landscaping
Increasing the service capabilities by adding 18 service bays in the new building.
Chairman Gantt asked how many service bays are currently operating in the existing facility.
Mr. Whittaker replied there are 26 repair/service bays.
Vice Chair Hammond stated that he liked some of the aspects of the design, but expressed
concern that the rendering looked more like a jail than a building and wondered if it would fit
into an area of office buildings.
Mr. Whittaker replied that the architect was not able to make the meeting so he could not
answer the architectural questions, but did mention that the point of the design was not to
display the building, but to buffer it from the adjacent office buildings by keeping the
existing 30-foot tall canopy trees and adding the fence, landscaping and berm.
6
May 1, 2012
Commissioner Hand stated that he liked the stacking aspect of the design and having the
ability to park vehicles on top of the building, but agreed with Mr. Hammond’s suggestion
that the heavy, gray, institutional masonry look was not appealing. He expressed
disappointment that the design did not replicate the metal panels and glass walls of the
showroom building facing Central Expressway.
Commissioner Maxwell stated that he agreed with Mr. Hand’s assessment and felt that by
simply changing the color it would help blend the building into the surrounding area. Also,
Mr. Maxwell strongly encouraged the applicant to go back and review the elevations and
possibly introduce some of the materials used on the showroom, which, he felt, would greatly
improve the look of the building.
Commissioner DePuy stated that she disagreed and said she did not think building materials
of steel and glass would blend in well with the adjacent office buildings and preferred more
of a “brick look” on the building. She added that new and different materials are important,
in the right setting, but the proposed facility would match the adjacent buildings better if a
brick design was used.
With no other comments in favor or opposition, Chairman Gantt closed the public hearing.
Chairman Gantt said he was in agreement with Ms. DePuy and trusted the staff’s comments
that the façade would be more like a brick building as opposed to the typical tilt wall
construction. He added that the existing large trees, new landscaping, and new fence would
screen the building along Gateway Boulevard.
Commissioner Bright stated he was happy with the way the project was presented and
thought the applicant had presented a design that emphasized increasing the landscaping and
buffering instead of sprucing up the building.
Commissioner Frederick commended the applicant on putting the clean looking façade
facing Gateway Boulevard and the congestion of the parking and automotive movement
towards the interior of the lot.
Motion:
Commissioner Bright made a motion to approve Item 3 as presented; second by
Commissioner Hand. Motion passed 6-1 with Commissioner Maxwell opposed.
4. Zoning File 12-06: Consider and take necessary action on a request by Tyler Isbell,
representing Hartman Richardson Heights Properties, LLC, for a change in zoning from C-M
Commercial with special conditions to PD Planned Development to accommodate the
construction of a movie theater on property located at 100 S. Central Expressway. The
property is currently zoned C-M Commercial.
7
May 1, 2012
Mr. Shacklett stated the request was to rezone the property to accommodate a movie theater,
which under the current zoning is an allowable use; however, the PD request is to
accommodate some additional development standards. He added that the proposed theater
would be a movie grill type facility with a bar and seven movie screens with 744 seats.
Mr. Shacklett noted that the applicant was requesting specific standards for the site that
included the following:






Allow 25-foot encroachment into the 60-foot required open area, which would keep
the building within its existing location.
Require a minimum 988 parking spaces (based on parking study) for the entire 16.85acre site, a 167 space deficit from what would normally be required by City parking
standards.
Proposed building height at tallest point of 47’6”, which exceeds the City’s building
heights standards for one-story buildings and buildings within 150 feet of a
residential district. (Majority of building will have a minimum roof height of 35 feet,
but taller architectural elements will exceed that height and will be placed on the far
side of the building away from residential areas.)
Proposed pylon sign located along the east side of the property with visibility from
Central Expressway.
- Allow a 131-square foot digital display board on pylon sign with regulations
governing the movement, flashing, animation, color change, etc.
- Allow maximum of 296 square feet of signage area on pylon sign.
- Allow pylon sign to exceed the 20-foot height regulation by being 50 feet in
height.
Allow maximum of 487 square feet of building signage; 451 square feet on east
elevation and 36 square feet on north elevation.
Proposing a combination of glass wall store front, tilt wall stone, stucco with 72%
masonry (exceeds required 50% masonry).
Commissioner DePuy asked where the pylon sign would be located and felt it might be
blocked by the existing trees if it was along the eastern edge of the property.
Mr. Shacklett replied there had not been a specific site designated, but it would probably be
located adjacent to the former Palomina’s restaurant just off the southbound frontage road for
Central Expressway. In addition, the request for the additional height of the sign took into
consideration the trees along that edge of the property.
Commissioner DePuy asked if lighting would be added to the rear of the business for security
during the evening hours without affecting the adjacent homeowners.
Mr. Shacklett replied that wallpaks and wall sconces pointed down towards the ground could
be used to provide the 1-foot candle or less requirement at the property line so as not to affect
the area homeowners.

May 1, 2012
Commissioner Frederick asked if the applicant was planning any changes for the utility poles
to the rear of the building.
Mr. Shacklett replied that the applicant was planning to retrofit the building, but that could
turn into a complete rebuild depending on the cost and how the utilities are regulated, which
could affect what changes are made.
Commissioner Maxwell asked if the change in zoning from C-M Commercial to PD imposed
any additional submittals or requirements for the remainder of the site. He also wanted to
know if the facility would have other events such as concerts or rent out for churches, and
could it become something else if the applicant moved his business.
Mr. Shacklett replied that the site would be a rezoned to a Planned Development District, but
would be governed by the base regulations of C-M Commercial except as otherwise stated.
Regarding other events, Mr. Shacklett said the primary use would be for showing movies, but
as long as anyone was using the building for the purpose it was intended for there should be
no problems. He added that if the applicant decided to move his business, another tenant
could use the building for anything that was allowed in the base C-M Commercial
regulations.
Commissioner Linn expressed concern over the pylon sign and asked how difficult it would
be to alter the sign if a redevelopment/enhancement study, similar to the standards set for
West Spring Valley, were put in place.
Mr. Shacklett replied that if the sign was approved by the Commission and City Council it
would be allowed to remain; however, the conditions mentioned in the staff report limited the
sign to be used only for a movie theater.
Chairman Gantt asked who would have control over approving the location of the pylon sign
on the property – the Commission, the City Council, or the Sign Control Board.
Mr. Shacklett replied that as far as the location was concerned, there is a distance
requirement on how close the sign can be to another property and how close it can be to
another pylon sign. He added that the 60 feet mentioned in the conditions of the PD did not
specifically say where the sign would be located, but the location would have to meet the
regulations.
Vice Chair Hammond asked if the sign would or would not go before the Sign Control Board
and pointed out that the conditions in the PD regarding the sign were violations of the City’s
Sign Ordinance.
9
May 1, 2012
Mr. Shacklett replied that most signs do not go before the Sign Control Board, only those
that do not meet the criteria.
Regarding the conditions for the pylon sign, Mr. Shacklett stated that through the PD process
the construction and design of the sign would be similar to the standards set in the West
Spring Valley area.
Chairman Gantt summarized that the five conditions listed in the staff report would be the
only variances from the standards listed in Chapter 18 of the City of Richardson Code of
Ordinances Sign Ordinance.
Mr. Chavez added that the five conditions would become the design standards for the
property.
With no further questions for staff, Chairman Gantt opened the public hearing.
Mr. Frank Bullock, SRS Real Estate, 8343 Douglas Avenue, Dallas, Texas, representing the
owner, Hartman Real Estate Investment Trust, stated that his company was hired by the
owner of the property to reposition the shopping center by bringing in new tenants. He
added that they had spoken with many major retailers over the past year including Alamo
Drafthouse, who, they felt would help revitalize the shopping center.
Mr. Bill DeGaetano, Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas, 3913 Woodstock Drive, Colleyville,
Texas, stated that Alamo was excited about the opportunity to come to Richardson and noted
that this theater would be their first in the DFW Metroplex.
Commissioner Hand asked if there were plans for valet parking for the theater because it was
not mentioned in the parking analysis.
Mr. DeGaetano stated that they typically did not do valet parking; however, if the center did
get busy they would institute it because one of their main concerns is customer satisfaction.
In addition, they like to see a one to three parking ratio and since their peak time is when
many of the other local retailers would be closed, he felt the parking would be sufficient.
Mr. DeGaetano also pointed out that since the business served dinner from their 3,000-square
foot kitchen, they would not seat all seven theaters at once so they will not have 744 people
in the facility at any one time.
Commissioner Maxwell asked about the other types of events that would be held at the
facility.
Mr. DeGaetano replied that during the fall and the spring Alamo would have most of their
special events, which are based around movies, and include audience sing-a-longs or
10
May 1, 2012
specially theme dinners to go with a movie. He added that they will not have concerts or
events that would disturb the other theaters or surrounding neighborhood.
In addition, Mr. DeGaetano stated he would address the concerns regarding lighting at the
rear of the facility, both for the safety for their employees and customers, as well as making
sure the lighting does not disturb the adjacent neighborhood.
Commissioner DePuy asked what the busiest times would be.
Mr. DeGaetano replied that it would typically be Friday and Saturday nights from 7:00 p.m.
to 10:00 p.m.
Commissioner Hand asked if the applicant was tied to the design for the façade because most
of the property in the area tended to be mid-century modern and he felt the applicant was
missing out on a marketing opportunity to solidify their brand in the area. He added that the
Commission may want to consider not including the elevation if the item was approved in
case the tenant might want to improve on the design.
Commissioner DePuy stated that she liked mid-century design, and was not a big fan of the
façade presented, but cautioned the Commission that the elevation should stay true to the
company’s branding. In addition, the remainder of the stores in the shopping center did not
have mid-century facades.
Mr. DeGaetano replied any modifications would depend on what changes were being
requested. He added that they were a franchise and there were constraints from the corporate
office, but their buildings were not a cookie-cutter design and they like to blend into the
neighborhood, which is what prompted the proposed stone accents and building signage, but
they also wanted to make it clear they were a movie theater.
Commissioner Linn concurred with previous comments about the elevation and felt there
was an opportunity to stand out, and asked about the length of the lease.
Mr. DeGaetano replied they will have a 15-year lease with three 5-year renewals.
Vice Chair Hammond asked if the theater would be used for business meetings, and he
encouraged the applicant to have a design that will blend in and compliment the already
existing architecture in the shopping center.
Mr. DeGaetano replied that with so many corporate headquarters located in the City, they
anticipated quite a few private corporate events and they would have a full time special
events coordinator on staff.
Commissioner Bright asked about the bar located in the front of the building and if it would
operate only in conjunction with the movie theater.
11
May 1, 2012
Mr. DeGaetano replied that the primary use of the bar was for customers before and after a
movie, but customers did not have to attend a movie to come to the bar.
Vice Chair Hammond stated that he was previously on the Sign Control Board and expressed
concern over the proposed signage and felt it violated most of the ordinances in the City. He
agreed there needed to be visibility, but he was going to be tough on what would be allowed.
Mr. Bullock thanked the Commission for hearing the item and the City staff for all their
work.
Chairman Gantt announced he had five speaker cards for those wanting to speak in favor of
the item; 19 cards from those in favor who did not want to speak; and two speaker cards in
opposition.
Mr. David Knepper, 101 Shadywood Lane, Richardson, Texas, stated the he was a little
apprehensive about the pole sign, but was in favor of the item because he felt it would help
an underperforming shopping center and could be a catalyst for other investments in the area.
Mr. Andrew Laska, 502 Hyde Park, Richardson, Texas, President of Richardson Heights
Neighborhood Association (RHNA), stated that the RHNA was in support of the item and
believed it would be very important to all of the Heights neighborhoods and the shopping
center. He presented copies of Facebook postings with one thread alone showing 27 postings
in favor of the zoning request.
Mr. Laska asked the Commission to seriously consider the adjacency of parking to the
surrounding neighborhood noting that Devonshire Drive was open to the shopping center,
but felt any potential problems were completely solvable. He asked the Commission to move
forward and approve the request and suggested the RHNA could work together with the City
and the applicant to address any problems.
In closing his presentation, Mr. Laska stated he concurred with Mr. Hand’s comments
regarding the façade, and noted that the sign request was not out of scale with the other large
sign in the area that was formerly a clock. He added that given the gravity of the Alamo
Drafthouse on revitalization in the area, he asked the Commission to approve the zoning
request and note their concerns when passing the item on to the City Council for their review
and possible approval.
Ms. Christina Stock, 819 Sherwood Drive, Richardson, Texas, stated that she was very
excited about the possibility of the Alamo Drafthouse coming to Richardson and felt it would
bring a great deal of business to the City.
Mr. Richard Dodson, 733 Nottingham, Richardson, Texas, commented that he had been
saddened by the decline of the shopping center and felt Alamo Drafthouse would bring
12
May 1, 2012
additional business to the area. He also asked the Commission to take into consideration the
other signs in the area and felt the item should be approved and the details of the sign could
be addressed at a later time.
Mr. Kent Whitefield, 801 James Drive, Richardson, Texas, stated that he was in support of
the item and felt that any issues with Devonshire Drive and/or the sign could be addressed
later and urged the Commission to approve the item.
Ms. Terri Duhon, 2202 Blackberry Drive, Richardson, Texas, said she was in support of the
item, but had concerns about noise and traffic for the surrounding neighborhoods.
Ms. Sandy Hanne, 637 W. Belt Line, Richardson, Texas, stated that she in favor of the item
and asked the Commission to keep an open mind regarding the signage.
Mr. Robin Roberts, 722 Dumont, Richardson, Texas, stated that he supported the request and
thought it was a fantastic concept. In addition, he was hoping the façade on the theater
would reflect more of the older architecture of the neighborhood.
Ms. Angela Epley, 627 Scottsdale, Richardson, Texas, was in favor of the item and felt the
theater would be similar in nature to the Angelika Theater. She asked the Commission to
keep an open mind on the proposed signage.
Chairman Gantt called for any comments in opposition.
Ms. Beverly Whittington, 304. S. Lindale Lane, Richardson, Texas, stated that she had been
a resident for 47 years and was opposed to the theater because of the close proximity to the
neighborhood and felt there would be an increase in traffic, trash, noise and possibly an
increase in crime because alcohol would be served. She added that three or four of her
neighbors were also in opposition, but were unable to attend the meeting.
Mr. Ramona Powers, 303 S. Lindale Lane, Richardson, stated that her home backed up to the
shopping center and was concerned about safety in the area, trash, noise pollution, and glare
from the proposed sign.
Chairman Gantt asked if the applicant had any comments in reply to the statements made.
Mr. DeGaetano replied that unaccompanied minors cannot get in to the theater without a
parent and their clientele was typically young professionals. He added that all their
beverages and food are served in real glasses and plates that cannot be removed from the
theater.
Mr. DeGaetano stated that he understood the concerns about noise pollution and felt that the
employees would be the ones parking at the rear of theater and he would work with his staff
to ensure the area is quiet. He added that in regard to the concerns about alcohol being
13
May 1, 2012
served, the theater usually does a last call 45 minutes prior to a movie ending and they are
adamant about making sure their customers do not over indulge.
Mr. DeGaetano closed his comments stating that he had spent 18 months courting the Alamo
Drafthouse company before obtaining his franchise and then another 12 months in training.
He noted that the brand was of the highest quality and he hoped to bring it to Richardson
very soon.
Commissioner Linn stated that he did not think visibility of a sign would make or break the
business because of their reputation noting the number of people in favor in attendance.
Commissioner Frederick stated that the façade on the Winchester, Virginia, store seemed to
be more in keeping with mid-century modern theme mentioned earlier.
Commissioner Bright asked if any other Drafthouse locations backed up to residential areas
and did they have problems with noise or complaints.
Mr. DeGaetano replied their busiest location in Austin, Texas, backed up to a neighborhood
and the only buffer was the fences of the homes. He added that since he had been with the
company they have not had a problem with complaints.
Vice Chair Hammond stated that he wanted to set the stage for his opinions and noted the
signs standards in Richardson were much different than those in other cities. He added that
any reader boards in the City had to be approved by the Sign Control Board and the Board
had even turned down a request from the City itself for a reader board.
Mr. Hammond asked if the applicant was willing to move ahead if the pylon sign, the digital
reader, and the pylon sign height increase were removed from the application.
Mr. DeGaetano replied that the proposed location for the move theater would be their first in
a very competitive market and to take advantage of the 300,000 cars that pass by on Central
Expressway they needed signage on the road. He added that speaking from his, his investors,
and the corporate office point of view, the approval of the site could hinge on the signage.
Mr. DeGaetano added that he was not opposed to moving the sign or making it smaller as
long as it was visible from Central Expressway.
Vice Chair Hammond asked if the applicant had spoken with the owner of the property about
co-locating on the tall grandfathered sign already on the property and felt it was a great
opportunity for Alamo Drafthouse to be the anchor tenant listed on the sign.
Mr. DeGaetano replied that they had not discussed that possibility with the property owner.
14
May 1, 2012
Mr. Bullock asked the Commission to remember that their goal was to lease the entire center
and there was still a couple of large spaces to lease so they were saving the large pole sign
for the future retailer because they would not have the cult following that Alamo Drafthouse
has.
With no further comments, Chairman Gantt closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Hand asked staff if alcohol could be served at any of the current locations in
the shopping center. He also wanted to know if the sign was on the frontage road would it
reflect or cause glare to the homes on Lindale Lane.
Mr. Shacklett replied that there are approved alcohol permits in the shopping center, and
regarding the sign, he felt the sign was the appropriate size for the building and was located
700 feet from the homes. He added that the sign would be required to meet glare standards at
the property line.
Commissioner DePuy stated that she did not have a concern about the signs and noted that
the theater location would be at the back of the shopping center and, with the trees along the
frontage road, the theater would not be visible from Central Expressway. She added that she
was excited about the revitalization of the shopping center and would not like to see anything
happen to the proposal because of signage.
Commissioner Hand stated that he thought this project could be the catalyst for the shopping
center and something that had been needed for decades. In addition, knowing how the
shopping center had struggled in the past, he felt it would be hard to limit them on the sign
when the applicant needed to establish their brand in the area.
Commissioner Maxwell stated that his only concerns were the elevation and the disturbance
additional traffic might bring to the neighborhood. He asked if the back access along
Devonshire could be closed off.
Mr. Shacklett replied that there have been no discussions about closing that access and
pointed out that there were a few homes that had rear entry garages off that alley.
Commissioner Bright said he supported the item, but did have a concern about the residents
backing up to the alley and a possible problem with parking along residential streets.
Mr. Chavez stated that staff would like to have the opportunity to monitor the situation and
the City was committed to having the site functioning properly. He added that within 300
feet of the front door of the theater there are approximately 320 parking spaces.
Commissioner Bright asked if it would be possible to pass the item without limiting the
applicant to the current elevations and suggested giving the applicant the freedom to come up
with another design.
15
May 1, 2012
Vice Chair Hammond stated that he wanted to make sure the record reflected that he was in
favor of the application, but just wanted to caution the applicant that others had requested
variances to the sign ordinance and only a very few of those requests had been granted.
Commissioner Linn stated that he was in favor of the item and felt the Commission could
still be responsible and have oversight while allowing the item to proceed without
compromising long held standards for the sake of economic development. He suggested that
the demographic being targeted by the applicant would get their information from alternative
sources (i.e., Facebook, Fandango.com, Movies.com, etc) as opposed to signage.
Mr. Linn commended the 15-year commitment and asked if the Commission could move the
item forward without the pylon sign changes because he did not support the sign changes.
Chairman Gantt stated that he agreed with Mr. Bright and felt the theater needed a sign, but
he also agreed with Mr. Linn that there are plenty of other ways to find out what movies
were playing at what theater; however, it would not hurt to have a sign. He said he was in
favor of moving it forward as presented and let the City Council decide if they want to
enforce the sign ordinance.
Chairman Gantt also noted that Exhibit C, the elevations, were listed as part of the ordinance
and asked if it was possible to move the item forward while at the same time giving the
applicant the flexibility to modify the elevations.
Mr. Chavez replied that if the Commission chose to recommend approval, subject to the
conditions found in the staff report, and included that the applicant would submit a site plan
showing the location of the pylon sign in addition to new elevations, it would give them the
flexibility to bring the final elevations back before the Commission at Site Plan approval.
Regarding the proposed standards, Mr. Chavez stated that staff considered future proposed
standards for digital signage and reviewed other municipality’s sign standards to address
glare, brightness, distraction from road, and default features that cause the sign to go blank if
there is a problem.
Commissioner Maxwell asked if the Commission followed Mr. Chavez’ suggestion and the
elevation was still not what the Commission wanted, what would be the options. He also
wanted to know if the site plan and elevation meeting would be a public hearing.
Mr. Chavez replied that the option could be rejected at a future meeting, but suggested the
Commission give some direction to the applicant as to what they would like to see.
Regarding a future hearing, Mr. Chavez pointed out that those items would be on the
Consent Agenda and reminded the Commission the applicant would only be submitting the
building elevations and a site plan showing the location of the pylon sign.
16
May 1, 2012
Commissioner Bright asked if the proposed sign standards in the PD were forward thinking
in the types of lighting being requested and if they could be something the existing sign
ordinance did not address because the proposed standards were more modern.
Mr. Chavez replied yes, the standards were such that the City may or may not adopt them in
the future.
Commissioner Hand asked if Exhibit B (site plan) and C (elevations) were removed from the
zoning request did it jeopardize the approval process and/or progress. He also wanted to
know if the actual location of the pylon sign was known and, if not, did that cause any
concerns for the staff.
Mr. Shacklett replied that if Exhibit C was removed it would slow down the progress if it had
to come back for approval. He noted that the sign location would most likely be on the east
side of the buildings along Central Expressway for visibility purposes.
Mr. Chavez added that the sign would most likely not be along the parkway because of the
lack of space, but would probably be along the Central Expressway side of the property and
not in the actual parkway. He added that staff was not concerned about placement of the sign
because the placement would have to conform to the provisions of the PD and with Chapter
18, the Sign Code.
Mr. Chavez suggested the Commission could provide staff with the ability to
administratively approve any buildings elevations as long as the Commission provides some
type of guidelines similar to those listed in the West Spring Valley guidelines.
Motion:
Commissioner Hand made a motion to recommend approval Zoning File 12-06
with the exception that Exhibit C is removed from the submission; second by
Vice Chair Hammond.
Commissioner DePuy asked if any of the exhibits were removed would it cause a
delay in the process.
Mr. Chavez replied that it would allow the applicant to refine the product.
Commissioner Hand asked if the applicant came back in two weeks with the same
elevation and said that elevation was what they really want what would happen.
Mr. Shacklett stated that once the Commission “recommends approval” the full
package goes forward to the City Council and they have final approval authority
as to agreeing with the Commission recommendation or not.
17
May 1, 2012
Commissioner Maxwell asked if the motion could be amended to have the
applicant come back with elevations for approval by the Commission.
Mr. Shacklett replied that it would slow down the process as previously
mentioned.
Chairman Gantt stated that it was Mr. Hand’s intent when he made the motion to
have the applicant return before the Commission with new elevations.
Mr. Chavez stated that it would add additional time to their process.
Commissioner Maxwell asked if there was any advantage or disadvantage to the
applicant by proceeding with the process as proposed under the current motion, or
continuing the item to the next Commission meeting.
Mr. Chavez replied that a continuation would add an additional three to four
weeks to the process as opposed to requiring that the applicant come back through
the site plan process, which would add only two weeks.
Commissioner Maxwell asked if there were any comments regarding the urgency
of the process.
Chairman Gantt stated that he did not perceive any, but suggested calling the
applicant back to answer the question.
Commissioner Hand stated that his intent was not to tell the applicant to do it
again, but he was suggesting there was an opportunity to improve the design and
cautioned the Commission about approving the request and locking in the current
elevation when the applicant was open to making changes.
Mr. Chavez replied that if even if the Commission recommended approval and
removed Exhibit C (elevations), the whole packet would go forward to the City
Council and it would be up to the Council to either accept the recommendation
and approve the request as stated by the Commission, or they could approve it as
is, or approve it with different elevation.
Mr. DeGaetano stated that he was very open to changing the design of the
elevations.
Regarding the urgency of the request, Mr. DeGaetano explained that the request
was very urgent because if another theater group came into the old theater on the
south side of Spring Valley before Alamo announced their intentions, it would
make it impossible for another theater to open within three miles of it and show
18
May 1, 2012
first-run movies. In addition, the lease signed by Alamo contained contingencies
that state if something of that nature would happen then the lease could be voided.
Vice Chair Hammond asked for an option that would give flexibility to the
motion to allow the applicant the time to address Exhibit C (elevations) and not
have to come back before the Commission.
Commissioner Linn asked when the item would be considered by City Council.
Mr. Chavez replied the request was scheduled to be viewed by the Council on
May 14, 2012.
Commissioner Maxwell expressed concern and asked for clarification that if the
elevations were attached to the request when it was forwarded to the City
Council, and the Council accepted the Commission’s recommendation to strike
Exhibit C, there was no other requirement for the applicant to present an elevation
as the motion was currently worded.
Mr. Chavez replied that the Commission was recommending that Exhibit C be
struck from the request, but the same package the Commission viewed would be
the exact same package presented to the Council with the Commission’s
recommendation to remove Exhibit C. Also, the applicant would be required to
submit a building elevation that would have to conform to the base zoning in the
C-M Commercial District.
Mr. Chavez stated that the motion could include language to removed Exhibit C
and that final elevations be approved by City Council.
Mr. DeGaetano stated and agreed that they would work to bring new elevations to
the City Council in two weeks.
Commissioner Hand amended his motion to include the verbiage suggested by
Mr. Chavez and Mr. Hammond concurred.
Motion passed 7-0.

Landscape Plan
PROJECT SUMMARY
Project:
Location:
Request:
The landscape plan reflects the development of a 121,368
square foot data center on a 7.17-acre tract of land.
In accordance with City policies, the proposed landscape
plan meets or exceeds City guidelines and policies
regarding tree installation along street frontages, parking
area screening, and minimum landscape area.
CPC Action:
Final decision
BACKGROUND
Landscape Area Summary:
Area Required
10% of property (31,265 square feet)
Area Provided
Landscape Design:
The proposed landscape plan reflects the development of a
121,368 square foot data center on the south side of E.
Collins Boulevard, west of International Parkway.
The landscape plan provides a variety of canopy and
ornamental trees along E. Collins Boulevard with
decorative grasses, berming, and screening shrubs that
highlight the installation of a 10-foot wide hike and bike
trail as identified on the Trail Master Plan.
Tree removal:
To accommodate the proposed data center, the plan reflects
the removal of ten Crepe Myrtle trees and two Live Oak
trees. All the Crepe Myrtles and one of the Live Oaks are
being removed since they are located within the proposed
building footprint. The remaining Live Oak is being
removed to accommodate the required secondary point of
emergency access though the mechanical yard at the
Page 1 of 2
Reports\2012-05-15 CPC\Landscape Staff Report.doc
northwest corner of the site. To mitigate the loss in
existing trees, the plan provides two additional canopy
trees and eleven additional ornamental trees along E.
Collins Boulevard.

Landscape Plan
PROJECT SUMMARY
Project:
Location:
904 Quality Way
Request:
The landscape plan reflects the development of a 48,425
square foot data center on a 4.32-acre tract of land.
On the north side of the proposed data center, there is an
area designed for “future building expansion.” The
applicant is requesting that this area be void foundation
plants, since it would be removed to accommodate the
future building expansion.
Except, for the above mentioned foundation plantings
within the future expansion area, the proposed landscape
plan, meets or exceeds City guidelines and policies
regarding tree installation along street frontages, parking
area screening, and minimum landscape area.
CPC Action:
Final decision
BACKGROUND
Area Required
Area Provided
Landscape Design:
48,425 square foot data center on the south side of Quality
Way (private street), west of International Parkway.
In addition to the five existing mature Like Oak trees, the
plan reflects the installation of Shumard Red Oak and
Chinkapin Oak trees supplemented with a variety of
ornamental trees along the south side of Quality Way.
Additional proposed landscape material include areas for
seasonal color, Nellie R. Steven Holly and Dwarf Abelia
Page 1 of 2
Reports\Landscape Staff Report.doc
for parking lot screening and foundation shrubs highlighted
with Wintercreeper groundcover.
Tree preservation:
Five existing Live Oak trees located on the south side of
Quality Way will be retained.

Common Area Landscape Plan
PROJECT SUMMARY
Project:
Savoy Trace
Northwest corner of Jonsson Boulevard and Lake Park
Way.
Staff Comments:
42 lot single family gated subdivision with nine common
areas. All perimeter subdivision walls and common areas
are to be owned and maintained by the mandatory HOA.
CPC Action:
Final decision
BACKGROUND
Landscape Required:
Adjacent to Lake Park
Estates, Phase 1
Due to the existing perimeter brick and wrought iron fence
of Lake Park Estates, Ordinance 3854 requires a landscape
buffer on all private lots where adjacent to Lake Park
Estates, planted with a single row of evergreen shrubs to
act a as privacy screen for those specific lots. As shown,
this buffer is planted with Nellie R. Steven Holly shrubs
that will be maintained by the property owner (see
attached).
Maintenance responsibility of this required
hedgerow is outlined in the HOA documents.
The plan reflects a perimeter 6-foot tall masonry screening
wall where single family lots back to Jonsson Boulevard or
Lake Park Way. Adjacent to the detention area, a wrought
iron fence with brick columns separates the public space
from the gated neighborhood.
Additional landscaping:
At the main entrance into the site from Lake Park Way, a
divided median is planted with Chinese Pistachio canopy
trees and Crepe Myrtle ornaments trees highlighted with
Burford Holly shrubs, Asian Jasmine and Liriope ground
cover with areas designated for seasonal color.
Page 1 of 2
X:\Development (new)\Development Plan Files\Subdivision Files\Savoy Trace\CA Landscape Plan\Minutes and Staff Reports\201205-15 CPC\LANDSCAPE PLAN.doc
Brick pavers, installed at the main entrance and at the culde-sac terminus, enhance visual aesthetics of the private
streets.
Just north of the main entrance, a large common area that
corresponds with the visibility requirements for the main
entrance, is planted with variety of Oak trees. Since this
area provides the necessary traffic visibility along Lake
Park Way, lower tree limbs will need to be trimmed to a
minimum of seven feet from the ground.
At the southeast corner of the site, the 0.30-acre detention
area features a five-foot walking trail with benches and
trash receptacles and is planted with a variety of canopy
trees, including Red Oak, Chinese Pistachio, and Bald
Cypress trees.
Exterior to the site, a seven foot sidewalk will be installed
along both Lake Park Way and Jonsson Boulevard. The
remainder of the parkway between the perimeter screening
wall and the sidewalk will be planted with Abelia ground
cover.

Staff Background:
Villas of Buckingham is an 82-lot single-family
subdivision that was originally subdivided in 2005; 68
homes have already been built in the subdivision and
14 lots are vacant. The subdivision is currently
surrounded by a six-foot masonry wall along
Centennial Boulevard, Whitehall Drive, Buckingham
Road and along a portion of the west property line
adjacent to the church. The southwestern section of
the subdivision is screened by an eight-foot high brick
wall and a six-foot high wrought iron fence from the
adjoining apartments complex.
The homeowner’s association has expressed concerns
to city staff about the height of the existing masonry
wall along the adjacent streets. There have been
several break-in incidents involving houses that are
adjacent to the subject wall. After consultations with
the City of Richardson Police Department, the
subdivision has decided to raise the height of the
subject wall by two feet (eight feet is the maximum
height allowed by code). The applicant hired an
independent structural engineer to assess the
structural condition of the existing wall. The engineer
concluded that the existing thin-type wall will not
structurally support two additional feet of brick
construction (refer to applicant’s statement). The
applicant proposes to install a two-foot wrought iron
extension to the top of the existing six-foot high
masonry wall for an overall height of eight feet.
VAR 12-04
Article III, Section 21-47(c)
[Screening and Open
Space]:
The Subdivision and Development Code requires a
minimum six-foot high masonry-screening wall or a
living screen within a 20-foot landscape buffer where
single-family lots back upon a dedicated street. The
applicant’s request is to add a two-foot non-masonry
extension to the top of the existing masonry wall
abutting the adjacent streets and the church property
on the west side of the subdivision (see wall details
attached).
A similar variance has recently been granted
involving a non-residential use (Bank of America data
center) abutting an apartment complex (VAR 11-05;
approved by City Council on April 25, 2011).

City Planning Commission
City of Richardson
Subject: Villas of Buckingham Perimeter Screening Wall Extension
Dear Sir/ Madam,
Villas of Buckingham presently have a 6 ft perimeter masonry screen wall adjacent to
Centennial Boulevard, Whitehall Drive, and Buckingham Road. Recently a few incidents
happened, where burglars climbed the perimeter fence along the Centennial Blvd and
broke into houses through the backdoors. These incidents had caused serious concerns
among the residents. Richardson Police Department representatives visited the
neighborhood a few times and have concluded that the wall height is too low and
recommended to increase the height. Based on those recommendations we had several
talks with the City Planning Department on the possibility of increasing the height of the
wall. We were told that the maximum height allowed is 8 feet. We did seek independent
professional advice on increasing the height of the wall with matching brick.
Unfortunately, the structural engineer’s conclusion was that the present design can’t
support additional two feet of brick wall and they recommended to install wrought iron
fence on top of the brick wall. Attached is the drawing showing the combination of the
brick wall and the wrought iron fence extension.
I would appreciate if you approve the variance and help us to make the Villas of
Buckingham safe and secure.
Sincerely,
Mohammed R Islam
President, Villas of Buckingham HOA
