Hold a Public Hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a change in zoning from Community Retail (CR) to Community Retail with a Specific Use Permit (SUP) to allow for a hotel, generally located on the southeast corner of SH 78 and West Kirby Street. ZC 2006-05 Ms. Manson stated that the subject property is located on the southeast corner of SH 78 and west Kirby Street. The applicant is proposing a hotel on one lot totaling 1.926 acres. The property is zoned Community Retail District. Hotels are an allowed use within the Community Retail District, but require a Specific Use Permit. A six foot high masonry screen wall will be required along the length of the eastern property line. The proposed design utilizes the parking lot as a buffer between the main entrance of the hotel and the Holiday Terrace Subdivision. Pat Brandon Fussell, San Augustine, Texas presented a power point slide show to the Commission. He proposed having directional lights on the parking lot twenty-feet tall. Commissioners expressed concern of the lights reflecting upon the adjacent residential development. After discussing the concerns, the applicant agreed to directional lights fourteen feet in height. Mr. Fussell stated that the hotel will not be independent but a franchise with a minimum nightly rate of$65.00. Commissioners requested that the screen wall along the length of the eastern property line match the existing screen wall from Wylie Senior Care Addition, which is adjacent to the subject property, and the wall be eight feet tall and stair step designed. Mr. Fussell was in agreement with eight foot screen wall and stair stepped. Chairman Larson opened the public hearing. Mr. Don Ward, 910 Mardi Gras Lane, spoke in opposition of the zoning requests, due to traffic increase, property value decrease, the noise and other uses attracted with hotels, and the lot is too small for a hotel. Jim Griffin, 301 Kirby, #322, spoke in opposition of the zoning requests, due to traffic increase, and expressed concern for the type of exterior material. Chairman Larson closed the public hearing. Mr. Fussell stated that the traffic will be about 30 vehicles a night, and desired that the access to S.H. 78 would be from Brookshire's and not from Kirby. He also stated that the property taxes should not be affected. Commissioners expressed concern of oversized vehicles parking for extended periods of time. Mr. Fussell agreed to restrict the height of the vehicles accessing the subject property. Commissioners expressed concern of the location for the pool. Mr. Fussell agreed if the pool was designed, it would be placed as far away as possible from the screen wall.
