BACKGROUND
Cpl
Sections 13 through 22 and 22A
A relatively new trend in self -storage facilities and moving services involves curbside
pickup and/or drop-off of various sized storage boxes and containers at a customer's
residence. While a convenient and useful service, some regulation may be warranted to
prevent interruption of vehicular and pedestrian traffic and a decrease in neighborhood
aesthetics.
During the month of December, a complaint was received by the City with regard to the
placement of storage containers associated with one of these services. The items were
placed in the street for a period of at least two weeks, creating a potential traffic hazard
as well as an unappealing sight. The goals of the draft amendment are to prohibit
placement of storage containers in public right-of-ways and to establish limits with
regard to the length of time that the containers can be placed outside and the number of
instances such services can be utilized in a specified period of time. These changes are
proposed within all residential zoning districts.
Section 26, "HC" Highway Commercial District
Staff recently visited with the owners of K&M Inspections, formerly located at 120 East
Northwest Highway, about relocating their automotive state inspections business. Their
desired site for relocation is the former Southwest Marine Boat Sales and Service
located at the northwest corner of Dooley Street and Wall Street. Both sites are zoned
"HU Highway Commercial District; however, Section 26.D.3 of the zoning ordinance
limits the permitted and conditional uses when a site has access to and frontage on a
street other than a State Highway or Central Avenue. Automotive repair and service
uses are not provided for in this section, and thus are not permitted at the Southwest
Marine location.
The zoning ordinance does not currently distinguish between a state inspections facility
and other automotive repair uses. However, an inspections facility could be considered
different and less obtrusive in that vehicles are not stored on the premises for long
periods of time and business does not involve actual repair. Vehicles are simply tested
for safety and environmental compliance, often within a period of 15-20 minutes each.
Regulations governing state inspections facilities are evolving as new EPA -required
equipment necessitates more space to accommodate the operations, and the resources
needed to run a modern inspections operation will continue to lead to more
comprehensive and diversified automotive uses. However, some businesses will
continue to exclusively offer state inspections services, and it may be sensible to provide
for automotive state inspections facilities specifically on sites within the "HU Highway
a Commercial District, including those with access to and frontage on minor streets, with a
conditional use permit.

Section 55, Performance Standards
On April 17, 2001, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council approved
provisional lighting standards to be applied to new applications for conditional use
permits received between the dates of April 17, 2001 and April 17, 2002. Since that
time, all new conditional use permit applications have had to submit a photometric study
of the site illustrating compliance with the new ordinance. Some of the applications that
have had to meet the new lighting standards in the past year include CU01-22, Kings
Smokehouse; CU01-27, Classic Hummer; CU01-46, CVS Pharmacy; CU01-68, Baylor
Professional Office Park and CU01-71, Wal-Mart Supercenter.
With the April 17, 2002 deadline approaching, the effectiveness of the provisional
lighting standards in achieving the stated purpose of preventing glare on public
roadways, protecting the privacy of residents and reducing atmospheric light pollution
should be reviewed. At their February 12, 2002 worksession, the Planning and Zoning
Commission directed staff to set a public hearing to consider making the lighting
standards a permanent requirement in the Zoning Ordinance.
