2. CONSIDERATION & ACTION: Request for Zoning Change from “C” Commercial
and “I-20 Overlay District” to “PD-SS” Planned Development District for the
development of restaurants and other uses as stated, on the 5.96 acres of Lot 1,
Block 3, Porter Addition, City of Willow Park, Parker County, Texas.
Fisher stated that the document in the packet did not contain the updated Landscape
Plan, but this was provided for Commissioners now. Further, she stated that Staff had
provided a few more minor linguistic changes, identifying I-20 Overlay and changing
'may' to 'shall', and asked that the Motion be made with the condition of Staff
revisions.
Chuck Stark, Engineer for the project, was present.
Stark identified the Standard Service restaurant, other restaurant locations, and this
project . He said he anticipated ground breaking in March.
Fowler asked about handicapped parking spaces to which Stark replied that the
Landscaping Plan didn't show them, but the Site Plan did.
Smith asked about the site for the 2nd building, to which Stark replied that it will be a
pad with the utilities run up to it [until later construction], but all parking was already
accounted for both buildings.
Fowler questioned the dumpster enclosures facing I-20 at the front of the building;
Stark replied that the entrance to the building actually faces west, placing the
dumpsters on the side.
Smith asked Fisher as to whether the zoning change would still require adherence to
the I-20 Overlay, to which she and Stark explained that the PD was now the zoning,
but the PD referenced the I-20 Overlay for requirements.

Bankhead. Stark replied that there was also a common access easement along the
south line also that goes through Lot 2. He said that there was the ability to do a
circular access with two access points on Bankhead, so that, in essence, it could be a
four-way intersection.
