C.1 PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDER AMENDING THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT NO. 64
ZONING DISTRICT LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF MIDWAY ROAD AND
SPRING VALLEY ROAD AND INCLUDING APPROXIMATELY 153 ACRES OF LAND,
RELATIVE TO PERMISSIBLE USES, DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, SITE PLAN AND
CONCEPT PLAN APPROVAL PROCEDURES, AND THE PD-64 CONCEPT PLAN AND
TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.
Mayor Phelps presented the following information. The PD-64 district covers
approximately 153 acres of land generally bounded by Spring Valley Road to the north,
Midway Road to the east, Alpha Road to the south, and the Town of Addison to the
west. The site is presently developed with apartments, town-home apartments, hotels,
Volume 85, page 45
retail, a gasoline service station, and the now vacant Exxon-Mobil research lab building.
Approximately 52 acres of the site remain undeveloped.
In 1987, the site was rezoned from Light Industrial to PD-64, including a conceptual
masterplan that promoted compatible development of office, hotel, restaurant, retail,
residential and mixed uses around the research lab campus. PD-64 was last amended
in 1993 to broaden the range of allowable uses and allow a more generalized concept
plan for the district as a whole.
In both 1987 and 1993 all property comprising PD-64 was under common ownership of
the Mobil Oil Company. Subsequently, portions of the property have been sold and
separately developed. The vacant Exxon-Mobil research lab building and remaining
undeveloped acreage will likely be sold to one or more owners. The City is seeking to
amend PD-64 to better ensure compatible land development and efficient traffic
circulation in the area.
The key amendments proposed include requiring a Specific Use Permit for all residential
uses, and school, college and university uses. Presently these uses are allowed by right.
Under the proposed amendment, what are generally defined, as "Garden Apartments"
would be prohibited; however, existing multi-family development would not become
non-conforming.
The Specific Use Permit requirement for residential uses would serve as the
enforcement mechanism relative to the garden apartment prohibition and afford the City
Council the opportunity to review the merits and appropriateness of residential
development proposals on an individual, case-by-case basis, especially in terms of
compatibility with surrounding non-residential land uses.
The Specific Use Permit requirement for schools, colleges and universities ensures that
the unique traffic and safety concerns generally associated with these types of uses
can be adequately addressed.
Additionally, the proposed amendment clarifies requirements for site plan and concept
plan approvals and amends the existing concept plan to reflect street patterns
recommended in the Comprehensive Plan, Master Thoroughfare Plan and the original
PD-64 Concept Plan.
The Planning and Zoning Commission, by unanimous vote, recommends PD-64 be
amended as generally described above and as more specifically set forth in proposed
Ordinance No. 2577.
Mayor Phelps opened the public hearing.
Kirk R. Williams, 5400 Renaissance Tower, 1201 Elm, representing Exxon-Mobil, owner
of 80 of the 153 acres that are the subject of discussion, stated that Bill Green with
Exxon-Mobil and Tom Carter who is a prospective purchaser of approximately 50 of the
acres on behalf of Parish Day School, were present with him.. He stated Exxon-Mobil is
Volume 85, page 46
opposed to the rezoning at this time, not believing that there has been any valid land
use consideration given for the changing of the uses that are being proposed.
Mr. Williams stated their concern regarding the Specific Use Permit is that it can be
used to deny a particular use. He stated if Council were saying they do not want that
particular use then he would like for Council to simply deny that use as a matter of
right. Mr. Williams stated he has seen other cities require Specific Use Permits for
drive-thru restaurants and over a period of 10 years he has never seen the Specific Use
Permit approved. He stated that this is a de-facto denial and that is the concern he
has.
Mr. Williams asked Council if this item could be tabled so they could work out some
conditions for this particular school. He stated the school would like to begin moving
into the facility in September of next year.
Mr. Williams stated he is respectfully requesting that the City Council not follow staff
and Planning & Zoning Commission recommendations, deny the request, and allow
them to proceed forward with the school without the specific use permit.
A motion by Mayor Pro Tern Moses, seconded by Councilman Bird, all voting "aye,"
closed the public hearing.
Councilman Bird asked why the Parish School Day requires 50 acres for their
development.
Mr. Williams stated the building itself and the parking allocated, constitutes about 30
acres. Assuming it is increased to a private high school, they will need recreation
facilities which would be constructed on the western side of the existing facility
towards the flood plain on the west and that is where the remaining 15 acres would be.
There would be 30 acres for parking and the facility itself with another 15 acres for
either drainage or an outside recreational facility that would be required as part of a
high school facility. He stated there are 80 acres, which would leave roughly 45 acres,
17 with frontage along Midway and 15 to 17 acres south of the facility on Alpha that
could be developed.
Councilman Bird inquired if instead of 50 acres Mr. Williams' client was looking at 45
acres.
Mr. Williams stated roughly 45 acres is what the school is looking at.
Councilman Bird inquired if 45 acres was needed because they were planning for a high
school. He also asked what would be needed if there was no high school.
Mr. Williams stated if there was no high school they would not relocate to this location.
Tom Carter, 5923 Warm Mist, President of Parish Day School, stated the reason for the
additional 15 acres is for a sports facility and a football and baseball practice field. He
stated this is the minimum acreage needed for this size high school. He stated this
Volume 85, page 47
facility is adequate for the school's needs and Mr. Williams was correct in saying if
there was no high school then the school would be looking at other sites.
Richard Escalante, City Manager, stated the existing PD zoning was in place for long-
term planning, and Mobil had been stringent in their development of the property.
Now due to circumstances not foreseen by Mobil nor the City, the Exxon-Mobil property
is now for sale. He stated the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission
have had concerns about the growth of garden apartments on the east and west areas
of Farmers Branch. He stated in staff discussions with Mobil, Mobil had indicated that
they did not have potential buyers for the property. The City focused on the multi-
family issue and some discussion concerning a town center; however the town center
concept may have been too restrictive. Mr. Escalante stated staff sent a proposed
ordinance to the Planning and Zoning Commission, which excluded garden apartments
and required a SUP for multi-family development. He stated the SUP allows staff and
the City Council to look at each proposed development on its merits.
Mr. Escalante additionally stated during the discussion the subject of schools was
brought forth. He stated the SUP would allow the City Council to review proposed
development of schools, and the SUP approval process would require City Council
approval.
Mr. Escalante stated in regard to schools, several issues became apparent, including
school traffic along Midway and Spring Valley. He stated due to the internal road
system on the property, a unique problem has developed as to whether the City could
enforce school zones on private streets.
Mr. Escalante stated the other issue is limited service hotels. He stated the City
Council and Police Chief have expressed concerns in the past about limited service
hotels near elementary schools. He stated these two issues were pointed out by staff
to the Planning Zoning Commission not to eliminate these uses, but provided as part
of an SUP so the City Council, Planning & Zoning Commission, and the public could
evaluate the specific uses.
Councilwoman Davis stated that the City Council is not opposed to this proposal but
they are concerned about the drainage issues on the property involving citizens down
stream. She stated if Parish School, Exxon-Mobil, and staff were to work together then
it would be determined if this proposal is doable.
Mayor Pro Tern Moses stated he would like to see the school developed but would also
like for the City to address the concerns that were stated by Mr. Escalante. He stated
he would vote for the SUP.
Councilman Walden stated he understands Mr. Williams' request but would like to
emphasize that the City Council operates in a logical manner and resents any
implication that the Council's actions are being used to slow down the process.
Councilman Robbs stated he is not in favor of the school being on the property. He
feels the SUP offers protection to the City.
Volume 85, page 48
There being no further discussion, a motion by Councilman Walden, seconded by
Councilwoman Davis, all voting "aye," adopted Ordinance No. 2577 amending the PD-
64 zoning district as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FARMERS BRANCH,
TEXAS, AS HERETOFORE AMENDED; BY AMENDING THE PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT NUMBER 64 (PD-64) WHICH INCLUDES
APPROXIMATELY 153.161 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST
CORNER OF MIDWAY ROAD AND SPRING VALLEY ROAD; ESTABLISHING NEW
USE AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR RESIDENTIAL AND EDUCATIONAL
USES IN PD-64; AMENDING STREET AND PUBLIC ACCESS REQUIREMENTS;

D.1 CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 2000-200 ACCEPTING A PETITION FROM
THE RESIDENTS OF 3300-3400 BLOCK OF PEBBLE BEACH FOR THE INSTALLATION
OF ROAD HUMPS AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.
In compliance with the requirements of the City's Road Hump Policy, adopted by
Resolution No. 2000-165, dated April 17, 2000, the City has received a petition signed
by 36 of 42 households along Pebble Beach Drive. The petition requests installation of
road humps in the 3300-3400 block of Pebble Beach Drive. All requirements of the
Road Hump Policy have been met in order for the City Council to consider approving the
installation of road humps at this location.
Funds in the amount of $30,000 have been approved in the City's 2000-2001 budget
for the installation of road humps. The cost of installation is approximately $14,000.
The road humps are anticipated to be installed within approximately 60-90 days if the
resolution is adopted by City Council.
The Traffic Engineer recommends acceptance of the petition for the installation of road
humps and further requests authorization of the installation of road humps along the
3300-3400 block of Pebble Beach Drive between Dorado Beach Drive and Cyprus Point
Drive by adopting Resolution No. 2000-200.
Jim Gay, 3352 Pebble Beach, stated he feels the petition for road humps is
inappropriate because it did not include people who live along Coral Harbour. He
suggested as alternatives the installation of lane-narrowing markers along Pebble Beach
at each golf course crossing or one speed bump at each golf course crossing at the curb
at each side. He stated he would be willing to assist the Engineering Department in
determining a more equitable solution then speed bumps.
Jerry Hailey 3242 Pebble Beach stated the speed hump would be directly in front of his
house, which would be all right with him. He stated he could testify to having seen
Volume 85, page 49
several accidents on the street in the past 25 years. He stated he was in favor of the
speed bumps.
John Carruthers, 3423 Pebble Peach Drive, stated he was active in getting this petition
started. He stated it is not the residents that live in the area that are speeding; Pebble
Beach serves as a cut through for those who do not want to travel on a busier street
such as Belt Line or Valley View Lane. He stated a traffic study indicated that 2,357
vehicles travel on Pebble Beach daily, and the speed bumps may deter some of the
speeding vehicles.
Ralph Swoboda, 3376 Pebble Beach, stated he has lived at that residence for the last
28 years and has seen the traffic increase considerably. He stated since 86% of the
petitioners have signed a request for the speed bumps he pleads to the City Council to
adopt the wishes of those who were surveyed.
Councilman Bird stated he is aware of the problem on Pebble Beach. He stated he lives
two doors down on Valley Hi Circle on the north side where there is a four way stop
sign. He stated approximately 25% of the people that come through that area run the
stop sign. He stated whatever the City is doing on Pebble Beach now is not working.
He stated it is not the residents that are speeding; it is the people that come from other
areas, however with road humps it will slow them down. Councilman Bird stated he is
in favor of this petition and feels the City should do something about it.
There being no further discussion a motion by Councilman Bird, seconded by
Councilman Robbs, all voting "aye," adopted Resolution No. 2000-200 for the
installation of road humps and further requests authorization of the installation of road
humps along the 3300-3400 block of Pebble Beach Drive between Dorado Beach Drive
and Cyprus Point Drive.
D.2 CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 2000-197 AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO APPLY FOR AND ADMINISTER THE FISCAL 2000 FEDERAL BUREAU OF
JUSTICE ASSISTANCE BLOCK GRANT AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.
Mayor Phelps presented the following information. The Federal Bureau of Justice
Assistance makes funds available to local law enforcement agencies in the form of a
noncompetitive block grant. The amount of the grant is based on a formula that takes
into account current and past crime rates, population and other factors. Under this
program, the City of Farmers Branch is eligible for $20,177.00 in funds. These funds
may be used to purchase law enforcement equipment and pay overtime for specific
projects related to local law enforcement. The City is required to match the grant with
the amount of $2,242.00. The Chief of Police has proposed taking the required amount
of $2,242.00 from the seized funds account for this match.
The Chief of Police proposes to apply for grant funds, which could be used for
enhancement of the operational capabilities of the Bicycle Patrol Unit. It is intended
that first, the existing Bicycle Patrol Unit's equipment be updated or replaced as needed
in order to further the unit's community policing capabilities. Secondly, the funds could
be used to purchase law enforcement equipment.
Volume 85, page 50
Before the funds are released to the local agency, a formal Resolution must be passed
by the City Council authorizing the City Manager to apply for and administer the grant.
Additionally, provisions of the grant require the public be made aware of and have input
on the proposed use of the grant in a City Council meeting.
The grant is designated for use during the 2000/2001 and 2001/2002 budget years.
Staff recommends adopting Resolution No. 2000-197 authorizing the City Manager to
apply for the Federal Bureau of Justice Assistance Block Grant.
There being no discussion, a motion by Mayor Pro Tern Moses, seconded by
Councilman Robbs, all voting "aye," adopted Resolution No. 2000-197 authorizing the
City Manager to apply for and administer the fiscal 2000 Federal Block Grant offered by
the Bureau of Justice Assistance.
D.3 CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 2000-201 EXECUTING AGREEMENTS WITH
TXU ELECTRIC FOR THE INSTALLATION OF STREET LIGHTS ON INWOOD ROAD AND
LUNA ROAD AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.
Mayor Phelps presented the following information. Inwood Road Street Lights and Luna
Road Street Lights are projects included in the 2000-2001 Capital Improvement Budget,
DART Local Assistance Program, in the amount of $450,000.
TXU Electric has prepared the designs and agreements for the installation of these
street lights along Inwood Road from Spring Valley Road to Alpha Road, and Luna Road
from Valley View Lane to Royal Lane. TXU will design and install the street lights at a
total cost of $390,070.50. Following installation TXU will operate and maintain the
street lights under the existing electrical service agreement with the City.
The City Engineer recommends adopting Resolution No. 2000-201 executing the
agreements with TXU Electric for installation of street lights on Inwood Road and Luna
Road.
There being no discussion, a motion by Councilman Robbs, seconded by Councilman
Walden, all voting "aye," adopted Resolution No. 2000-201 executing the agreements
with TXU Electric for installation of street lights on Inwood Road and Luna Road.
D.4 CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 2000-196 AWARDING THE BID FOR THE
PURCHASE OF THE ANNUAL SUPPLY OF PAPER REFUSE SACKS FOR THE PUBLIC
WORKS DEPARTMENT TO SMURFITT-STONE CONTAINER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE
ACTION.
Mayor Phelps presented the following information. Bid requests for the purchase of
the annual supply of one million paper refuse sacks were mailed to three vendors. One
bid was received and opened on November 27, 2000; it met specifications. The bid for
one-ply recycled and one-ply natural Kraft paper sacks was submitted by Smurfitt-Stone
Container for $248,000.00, or $.248 cents per sack. The alternate bid for 100%
natural Kraft paper material was also submitted by Smurfitt-Stone Container in the
amount of $243,000.00, or $.243 cents per sack.
Volume 85, page 51
Staff recommends that Smurfitt-Stone Container be awarded the refuse sack bid for
sacks make of one-ply natural Kraft paper and one-ply recycled Kraft paper.
Funds in the amount of $257,000.00 are available in the Public Works operating budget
for this purchase and for delivery costs to the citizens. Delivery is done by City crews.
The Director of Public Works recommends adopting Resolution No. 2000-196 awarding
the bid to Smurfitt-Stone Container in the amount of $248,000.00 for 1,000,000 one-
ply natural Kraft paper and one-ply recycled Kraft paper refuse sacks.
John Wells, 13521 Heartside Place, asked if the recycled sacks are costing more than
the non-recycled sacks
Mr. Escalante stated replied that was correct and it has generally been the case when
the City has gone out for bids.
Mr. Wells asked if it was a good move.
Councilman Bird replied yes, because it saves a lot of trees. He stated the sacks cost '/2
cent a bag for a total to a resident of 50 cents a year and it saves two thousand trees.
He stated the City has purchased one-ply recycled sacks for the last several years and
Farmers Branch should set the example.
There being no further discussion, a motion by Councilman Bird, seconded by Mayor
Pro Tern Moses, all voting "aye," adopted Resolution No. 2000-196 awarding the bid to
Smurfitt-Stone Container in the amount of $248,000 for 1,000,000 one-ply natural
Kraft paper and one-ply recycled Kraft paper refuse sacks.

APPROPRIATE ACTION.
There were no travel reports or requests.
D.6 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.
John Wells, 13521 Heartside Place, stated this is the time of year to give thanks. Mr.
Wells thanked city employees for all their efforts throughout the year, which is greatly
appreciated.
Dave Blair, 3324 Gatwick Place, stated he would like to commend the Council on their
excellent job on the Mobil site project and the strong code enforcement program. Mr.
Blair stated he would like to see the City take the initiative and contact Exxon-Mobil
because of the action the Council took in regard to the ordinance. Mr. Blair stated the
use of the Exxon-Mobil facility for a school would be unique.
Mr. Blair stated he was disappointed because the Holiday Lights item was not on the
agenda this evening. Mr. Blair stated he would like to see this program continued
because in the past 40 years he has promoted Farmers Branch as the "Best Living
Volume 85, page 52
Place". He stated there is a social need within the City and for residents to be proud
and participate in particular functions throughout the City. He believes the Holiday
Light Program has been very successful not only for the citizens but for those from the
outside that visit Farmers Branch. He stated again that he would like for the City
Council to consider keeping the Holiday Light Program.
Mayor Phelps stated the Holiday Light item would be placed on the January 22, 2001
agenda. Mayor Phelps apologized to Mr. Blair for not getting the word that this item
was rescheduled. Mayor Phelps explained that this is a budgeted item; it does not
come out of hotel/motel funds.
Mr. Blair stated he knows many programs the City has had have been canceled but he
urges the Council to please keep this particular program.
