Mr. Haskins stated that the applicant is B & B Theaters and the subject property
is located on Woodbridge Parkway just south of FM 544. The Final Plat will be ---
considered by Planning & Zoning on April 2, and by City Council on April 23.
The Preliminary Plat is approved, and includes four lots on 10.756 acres. The
applicant is requesting a variance for Lots 2 and Lots 3, to Section 7.3.C.3 of the
Zoning Ordinance requiring that, "All parking and vehicle storage areas, including
recreational vehicle parking in residential land use districts, shall occur on
concrete pavement."
Although the Site Plan meets the minimum number of parking spaces required by
the Ordinance, the applicant's request is for overflow parking only. The applicant
is requesting a gravel parking lot for a minimum of twelve months. If the parking
is warranted, after twelve months, the gravel will be removed and concrete will be
poured. If not, the gravel will be removed and landscaping will be provided or the
lot will be sold for commercial uses.
Public Comment Forms were mailed to 16 property owners within 200 feet of the
property, as required by law. One response was received, specifically against Lot
2 being a gravel parking lot.
Board Discussion
Mr. Dennis McIntire, B&B Theaters, approached the Board Members, stating that
he was withdrawing the request for gravel parking on Lot 2. He stated that the -
request is for Lot 3 only. Lot 3 will allow 108 additional parking spaces. The Site
Plan currently has 401 parking spaces, which meets the requirements set forth in
the Zoning Ordinance. The Summit Church has a cross access easement
agreement with B & B Theaters, and has 47 parking spaces.
Board Member Baumbach asked if lighting will be provided for the temporary
parking? Mr. McIntire stated that the design would be submitted to the City
Engineer, to provide a light that is functional, usable and safe. Mr. McIntire stated
that the request is being proactive before the movie theater opens. Board
Member Jourdan questioned the hours of operation and expressed concern of
when the gravel parking will be installed. Mr. McIntire responded that the gravel
parking will be only be installed for half of the lot for the grand opening, probably
by summer, the whole lot will be gravel parking if there is a need. The hours of
operation will be noon to midnight or 2 to 3 in the morning, but definitely will not
be open 24-hours.
Board Member Jourdan asked the reason for the twelve months. Mr. McIntire
stated that the busiest season is summer, even though it is stretched throughout
with kids out of school and during the holidays in November and December,
which are the busiest days, Day after Thanksgiving and Christmas. The desire is
to monitor the parking during the busy season and see if the parking lot warrants
expansion. At the first of the year in 2014, if the variance is granted, the gravel
parking lot will either be removed or a permanent concrete parking lot will be

installed, before summer of 2014. Due to inclement weather and various
possibilities prohibiting construction or demolishing, Mr. McIntire is requesting a
waiver to the 90-day requirement in which to act on the variance.
Chairman Baumbach opened the Public Hearing. With no one approaching the
Board, Chairman Baumbach closed the Public Hearing.
Board Action
A motion was made by Board Member Rogers, and seconded by Board Member
Price, to Grant the request for a Variance to Section 7.3.C.3 of the 2001-48
Zoning Ordinance to allow for the installation of a gravel parking surface on a
temporary basis, waiving the 90-day act upon requirement, for a maximum of
twelve months for overflow parking. This variance is tied to the property

Survey. (721 Woodbridge Parkway, being Lot 3 of the Woodbridge Centre Phase
II Addition). Motion carried 5 — 0.
