PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: APPROVED A POSTPONEMENT REQUEST BY THE APPLICANT TO JUNE 8, 2021, BY CONSENT. [G. COX, A. AZHAR – 2ND] (12-0) T. SHAW – ABSENT JUNE 8, 2021: May 11, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: June 10, 2021: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES There is a Valid Petition on this case. Petitions were received by the City on Thursday, May 6, 2021. The Petition Packet was prepared after the Staff Report was submitted. The calculations show that there is a Valid Petition with more than 20% of the ownership in the buffer area in 1 of 23B-23 C14-2021-0017 2 opposition to the rezoning request. A valid petition changes the required votes at 3rd and Final Reading of City Council to a super majority to grant the zoning change. That petitioner’s letter appears in the correspondence attached to the Staff Report. She would prefer other businesses to occupy the community commercial (GR) zoned tract. Other residents of the neighborhood contacted staff to express a preference for commercial uses that would add places of interest for the community. There are two businesses on adjacent lots, one is a café, the other is a performance venue. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The rezoning tract is a 1.28 acre (about 55,756 sq. ft) tract of land with one residence that will be razed. The applicant requests rezoning from community commercial – neighborhood plan (GR- NP) to community commercial – mixed use – neighborhood plan (GR-MU-NP) combining district zoning. Adding the MU zoning permits residential development on the site. The application indicates the intent of building 23 townhouse/condominium residences on the tract.

Commissioners, In the public hearing I presented issues with traffic associated with the proposed project at 7113 Burnet. In this piece I want to look closely at the utility of the shared access negotiated for using the parking lot of the shopping center just north. It is proposed, because direct Burnet Rd access is blocked by the left turn lane of the Greenlawn traffic signal. The parking lot has the traffic signal at Greenlawn and Burnet to access Burnet Rd travel. Here is what the traffic layout looks like. You can see that the turn lane obstructs southbound access. This same issue was considered in the Burnet Road Corridor Study The route would seem to solve an access issue the project otherwise encounters. Closer examination shows that it is inadequate. The route was informal at the time, and was lightly used by the Dallas Nightclub; their traffic was at times when Burnet Rd traffic was minimal, and the left turn lane could be ignored. The proposed project will generate trips and traffic is more conflicted times, so the turn lane obstruction is a real issue. The bar traffic was 2 trips per vehicle, enter and exit. Residences generate about 5 trips per day per vehicle. And, the vehicle count will be comparable. The population presented as residents will generate trips that are part of the morning and evening rush, and during mid-day as well. Traffic will not be studied by City Staff until Site Plan Review. That review must consider how Burnet access is provided. The vehicle types, and placement of building portals are controlling issues. Just from customary vehicle use, the shared route through the parking lot will be inadequate. As I said in my presentation, such a route is not in any traffic engineer’s handbook. Here are specific issues. First notice the difference in elevation of the two parking lots. And, that the ramp slopes at about 12% to 16% grade to match the elevations. And, the ramp is constrained on the top side by buildings and customer parking. This forces ramp use to start and end with a turn. For trucks, this is an ‘S’ turn: cab turns in, cab goes to exit while truck tail is still hasn’t entered, cab must start turn to avoid parking and building, truck tail enters ramp and immediately begins turn to exit. As seen here, the route through the parking …
