Hello Friends!
I hope y'all are doing well. We have quite a few meetings this week so let's jump on in! As a reminder, please check the city's calendar to see if any meetings are added after this newsletter goes out. The link for that is: https://www.waxahachie.com/calendar.php
As always, I'll highlight items that I think you may be interested in or are out of the ordinary for each particular meeting. Please review the agenda packets per meeting to get more detail on each item and what other topics may be considered/discussed for that meeting.

16 & 17 - Public hearing on a request by Hunt Restoration for a Specific Use Permit (SUP) to allow for a drive-thru window at an existing restaurant, Ta Molly's. Staff is recommending approval as presented.
18 & 19 - Public hearing on a request by Brad Yates, Colonial Restoration Group for a Planned Development to allow a Private Club (an event center to be used for class reunions, family gatherings, wedding and baby showers, corporate events, weddings and small gatherings) located at 716 Dunaway Street. Staff is recommending approval per comments, including a required development agreement; 6' ornamental fencing with landscaping along the front and sides of the property; and, a detailed site plan packet which shall be reviewed administratively by staff.
22 & 23 - Continue public hearing for a zoning change from planned development commercial and future development to planned development light industrial. The applicant intends to create a PD (planned development) to allow for an industrial business park located at the SW corner of I-35E and Butcher Road (where Buc-ee's was going to be). Per the concept plan, the applicant is proposing to construct one industrial warehouse that can be up to 1,215,200 sq. feet in size. City staff is recommending denial for multiple reasons as outlined in the agenda packet. One such reason is that "staff is concerned that the overwhelming presence a building of this size will have will disrupt efforts to make the I-35E gateway to the city more visually appealing. City staff views the intersection of I-35E and Butcher Road as one of the most important intersections in the city." The applicant understands staff's concerns and intends to state their reasoning at the P&Z meeting.
This is a public meeting and therefore residents are welcome and encouraged to attend. The meeting will also be live-streamed at the following link: https://www.waxahachie.com/government/city_council/city_council_meeting_live_stream.php
