Property located at 7940 E Parker Road. ZBA 2021- 14. Staff Comments Minutes September 20, 2021 Zoning Board of Adjustment Page 1 Mr. Molina addressed the Board Members and stated that the property is located at 7940 E Parker Road and is currently zoned Commercial Corridor. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow for reduced parking for a day care facility by providing 32 parking spaces in lieu of 40 parking spaces. The Zoning Ordinance has a parking requirement of four spaces per classroom. The variance is being requested for the potential of up to ten classrooms being allowed. The applicant and staff believe the variance request has merit due to a covered area for drop- offs and pick-ups will alleviate short-term parking. Staff conducted an informal survey of local day- cares and found that there was unutilized parking, even at peak times. The applicant did a survey of parking requirements in Dallas, Plano and Garland and the requirement is less strict than Wylie. Public Comment forms were mailed to ten property owners. No comment forms were returned in favor or in opposition of the request. Public Comments Chair Better opened the public hearing for Item 1 at 6: 40PM asking anyone present wishing to address Board Members to come forward. The applicant, Mr. Terry Sullivan addressed the Board Members stating the site will provide eight classrooms, with ten to twenty- five students in each classroom. The facility will range from 9, 000 to 10, 000 square feet, so the parking is based upon the size of the building, so the 32 parking spaces will be adequate. Chair Betler closed the public hearing for Item 1 at 6: 42PM. Board Action A motion was made by Board Member Covington, and seconded by Vice Chair Wight, to grant the variance to allow 32 parking spaces in lieu of 40 parking spaces. Property located 7940 E Parker Road. ZBA 2021- 14. A vote was taken and carried 5 - 0. Ms. Bradley stated that there will not be a meeting in October, 2021.
