Westinghouse Road, to be known as the Chapel Hill PUD (2020-1-ANX) -- Ethan Harwell, Senior
Planner
Staff report presented by Harwell. The applicant is requesting annexation for a 36.035-acre tract
generally located at 401 Westinghouse Road. The subject property is a part of a larger 54.14-acre
tract that is also subject to their request for a Planned Unit Development. This request is the next
step for a project that is subject to a Development Agreement approved on February 12, 2019. A
copy of the Development Plan approved is this agreement is attached as Exhibit 5.
The Development Agreement established provisions for the annexation, zoning, and utility service
to this property. This request has been filed in accordance with those provisions. The Development
Agreement also established entitlements on the property that locked in a development scheme with
approximately 18 acres of commercial/business park development along Westinghouse Road, and
approximately 36 acres of the property remaining behind the commercial sites to be developed with
multi -family uses. When the development agreement was considered the property had a Future
Land Use Designation of Employment Center, but since March 2020 when the 2030 Plan Update
was adopted the Future Land Use Designation changed to Regional Center.
Commissioner McCord sought clarification about the MF2 dimensional standards. Harwell
explained that the applicant is staying within the allowed density. Chair Brashear asked what the
limits are, and Harwell explained it is 48.
There was discussion about sidewalk triggers for this project, and Harwell explained that
construction activity on the eastern side of the multi -family tract would be a trigger. Harwell also
explained that certain permitted by right uses are not being removed, but that certain existing
restrictions will disappear.

- Michael Patroski, Planner
Staff report presented by Patroski. The applicant proposes to annex the 2.213-acre subject tract of
land with an initial zoning district of General Commercial (C-3) to develop uses allowed within this
district. The subject property is directly adjacent to the CubeSmart Self -Storage facility to the south
and the Planned Unit Development (PUD) Berry Creek Highlands. The concept plan for the Berry
Creek Highlands development identifies High -Density Multi -Family (MF-2) land use designation
for the area directly adjacent to the subject property. Further south of the subject property, the area
is entitled to be developed with residential subdivisions, to include the Hidden Oaks at Berry Creek
and the Enclave at Hidden Oaks subdivisions. The General Commercial District (C-3) is intended to
provide a location for general commercial and retail activities that serve the entire community and
its visitors. Uses may be large in scale and generate substantial traffic, making the C-3 District only
appropriate along freeways and major arterials. Permitted uses in this district include, but are not
limited to, general retail, hotels, restaurants, and general office. Other uses such as activity center,
bar/tavern/pub, college/university, fuel sales, and event facility among others are permitted subject
to specific design limitations. Certain land uses, including automotive sales, rental or leasing
facilities, require a Special Use Permit (SUP).
Chair Brashear opened and closed the Public Hearing as no one signed up to speak.
Motion to recommend approval of Item T (2020-3-ANX) as presented by Commissioner
McMichael. Second by Commissioner Warren. Approved (7-0).
U. Public Hearing and possible action on a request for a Special Use Permit for the Personal Services,
Restricted specific use in the Local Commercial (C-1) zoning district to allow a tattoo parlor and
body piercing studio on the property located at 1202 Williams Dr, bearing the legal description of
Lots 10 through 12, Block 3, Country Club Estates (2020-3-SUP) -- Andreina Davila -Quintero, AICP,
Current Planning Manager
Staff report presented by Davila -Quintero. The applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit (SUP)
to allow a tattoo parlor business in the existing building on the subject property. This business was
previously on the property located at 901 N Austin Ave, approximately 1,700 feet southeast of the
Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 5 of 7
June 2, 2020
subject property where Williams Dr intersects with N Austin Ave. According to the Applicant's
letter of intent (Exhibit 5), the business will be opened Sunday through Thursday from 12pm to
8pm, and Friday and Saturday from 12pm to 9pm. The subject property is located west of the
intersection of Williams Drive and Cedar Drive. There is one building on the property, which is
currently being used for the retail portion of the One Love Tattoo business. It was the former home
of A Plus Cremation Services. The subject property has an existing Future Land Use designation of
Special Area and it is part of the Williams Drive Gateway Plan, which is a small area plan that is
part of the Future Land Use Element of the 2030 Plan Update. Within the Williams Gateway Plan,
the Future Land Use Designation is Urban Mixed Use. This property is currently zoned Local
Commercial (C-1) and Scenic -Natural Gateway Overlay. The immediately surrounding properties
are a mix of commercial and residential uses. This vicinity has a mix of residential properties that
have been repurposed for small office, and purpose-built personal services, retail, and other
commercial properties. The former McCoy Elementary site dominates the block on the north side of
Williams Drive, where the extension of Rivery Boulevard bisects it establishing new land uses and
development patterns in the near -term future. The south block of Williams Drive is all contiguous
to the San Gabriel River, where a large view -shed opens to the Summit at Rivery project to the
southwest.
Commissioner McCord asked if the use will be restricted and will be specifically for a tattoo shop.
Davila -Quintero explained that it is specific to a tattoo shop.
Commissioner McMichael asked if the proximity to another existing tattoo shop was considered for
this request. Davila -Quintero explained that although there is another tattoo shop close by, there is
no issue with the two shops being in close proximity.
Chair Brashear commented on his concern with allowing up to 18 months from the date of
occupancy and operation of the business before the site is required to come into compliance with
the conditions of the SUP. How will this project be different from previous projects where deferred
compliance timelines created issues of noncompliance? Davila -Quintero explained that the building
in this project is already developed, as well as parking. In previous projects, there was no building
or parking developed yet.
The applicant, Jennifer Brown, addressed the Commission. She explained she chose to apply for an
SUP as opposed to a zoning change because she doesn't want a different type of business to come
in the future that is different from what is there now. She also explained she disagrees with staff's
recommendations for approval with conditions and feels the SUP should be granted especially
without the sidewalk requirement.
Chair Brashear opened and closed the Public Hearing as no one signed up to speak.
Motion to recommend denial to the City Council of Item U (2020-3-SUP) by Commissioner Warren.
The motion dies as there was no second to the motion.

June 2, 2020
Motion to recommend approval to the City Council for Item U (2020-3-SUP) subject to the four
conditions placed by staff by Commissioner McCord. Second by Commissioner Albright.
Commissioner McMichael sought for clarification on the conditions before voting on the motion.
She asked why a renter would have to build sidewalks which may be replaced in the future as the
gateway is redeveloped. She also asked why the conditions placed are necessary if the City has a
plan for redevelopment in that area. Davila -Quintero explained that the improvements with
developments will be completed as the area is developed/redeveloped.
Commissioner Warren commented that the conditions placed are the cost of doing business even if
you are a renter and are leasing a space from the owner. As the tenant, that is the renter's
responsibility. He also commented that there is already another tattoo shop close to this proposed
project, and is concerned with the image someone will see when they first pull up from Williams
Dr. This is not the appropriate location for the project.
Commissioner Perthuis would support approval of the application without the conditions.
Commissioner Albright asked if the tenant has the authority to submit this request on behalf of the
landlord. Davila -Quintero explained that as part of the application submittal process, the property
owner's consent form has to be submitted.
Chair Brashear called the question. Motion passes 4-3 with Commissioners Warren, Perthuis and
Chair Brashear opposed.
V. Discussion Items:
a. Updates and Announcements — Sofia Nelson, CNU-A, Planning Director
i. Nelson explained that starting in July, meetings will resume in Council Chambers
