[00:05:07]
ROMCO AUTOSALE JZ CASE COORDINATOR TONIGHT IS MR. SHAD RHOTEN.>> THANK YOU AND GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU CHAIRMAN, PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION, SHAD RHOTEN, DEVELOPMENT SERVICE.
THIS IS A SUP REQUEST. LET ME GET TO MY ITEM HERE.
SORRY ABOUT THAT. THIS IS A SUP REQUEST FOR OTHER MOTOR VEHICLE SALES. THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION IS BOUNDED BY WHITE. YOU SEE THE HEAVY WHITE OUTLINE.
THE APPLICANT IS ROM CO AUTOMOTIVE.
THE SITE JUST TO ORIENT YOU IS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF BELT LINE.
GET THIS TO WORK. THAT IS BELT LINE RIGHT HERE.
IT IS TO THE WEST OF I35 AND BETWEEN THE I35 AND GEORGE BUSH TURNPIKE.
YOU SEE FROM THE ZONING MAP, THE COLOR PURPLE SYMBOLIZED INDUSTRIAL LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ZONING WHICH COMPRISE THE MAJORITY OF THE PROPERTY IN THIS AREA.
THIS AREA ITSELF IS JUST SOUTHWEST OF THIS LOCATION.
ROMCOM IS A EXISTING BUSINESS AND THEY OFFER VARIOUS CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT FOR RENT, LEASE AND SALE. YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE AERIAL.
WITH THIS SUP APPLICATION, WHAT THE PROPOSING IS TO ADD TO THE INVENTORY.
THESE CONCRETE MIXING UNITS. I GOT A PHOTO OF THOSE.
IF I CAN GET IT THERE. SO, THIS IS THE VEHICLES THEY ARE ADD TO THEIR INVENTORY. SO, IT IS KIND OF TWO PARTS.
IN ORDER TO HAVE THESE FOR SALE OR RENT AT THIS SPECIFIC LOCATION, THEY MUST ATTAIN OR GET APPROVAL OF THIS SUP TONIGHT.
THIS ALSO SATISFIES THEIR REQUIREMENTS WITH THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES, BECAUSE THESE ARE CONSIDERED ROAD WORTHY.
THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND BE COMPLIANT WITH THE CITY REGULATIONS IN ORDER TO GET THAT LICENSE TO BE ABLE TO SELL THESE.
IT IS ALSO TO SERVE TO BE COMPLIANT WITH OUR LOCAL ZONING ORDINANCES.
AS I SAID, THEY ARE EXISTING BUSINESS.
THEY WILL ADD THESE TO THEIR INVENTORY.
ROMCO STATED THEY WILL HAVE APPROXIMATELY 5 ON THE SITE AT ANY GIVEN TIME.
TYPICALLY WHERE THEY STORE THIS EQUIPMENT IS WHERE I HAVE IN RED.
IT IS BEHIND THE BUILDING. IT SCREENS THIS FROM BELT LINE ROAD, SO THAT'S THE MAJORITY OF WHERE THEY WILL STORE THESE VEHICLES.
THEY ALSO HAVE A DISPLAY SPACE YOU CAN SEE, THESE TWO SMALL SQUARES ADJACENT TO BELT LINE.
APPROXIMATELY 760 SQUARE FEET. THESE ARE NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OF THE CUSTOMER PARKING. THEY ARE JUST NOTED FOR INVENTORY THAT THEY HAVE. SO, WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS SUP WITH THE STIPULATIONS THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR REPORT.
ULTIMATELY WHAT THAT DOES IS LIMIT THE STORAGE OF THESE VEHICLES TO THE AREA LARGER AREA IN THE BACK, DELINEATED IN RED.
IF THEY DISPLAY THESE VEHICLES IN THE FRONT, OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVE TO BE IN THE DISPLAY AREAS MARKED HERE. AGAIN, THOSE ARE NOT PART OF THE CUSTOMER EMPLOYEE PARKING AND THEY WERE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE DISPLAY OF THEIR VARIOUS EQUIPMENT. AS OF TONIGHT, WESENT PUBLIC NOTICE JANUARY 2. AS OF THIS EVENING WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED PUBLIC COMMENT IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION OF THE REQUEST.
STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL WITH THE STIPULATIONS YOU HAVE IN YOUR REPORT.
THE PART OF THE STIPULATION WOULD BE OBVIOUSLY LIMITING WHERE THESE ARE DISPLAYED OR STORED AS WELL AS THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF LIMITS AND CANT PUT IN REQUIRED PARKING FIRE LANE OR MANEUVER AREA. WITH THAT BEING STATED, I THINK THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM.
>> COMMISSIONERS, ANY QUESTION FOR STAFF AT THIS TIME? NO. THANK YOU.
THE APPLICANT IS HERE TONIGHT AND LIKE TO SPEAK ON THE ITEM, YOU MAY COME FORWARD AND DO SO AT THIS TIME. IF YOU WOULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

[00:10:04]
VOLUMETRIC MEXERS AND INVENTORY. THEY GO ALONG WITH THE EQUIPMENT FOR SALE LEASE AND CARE.WE DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF TRAFFIC. THE VAST MAJORITY OF OUR SALES ARE HANDLED AT CUSTOMERS SITES, HOWEVER WE NEED TO KEEP INVENTORY ON HAND.
WE WILL ALSO HAVE SOME FOR DISPLAY.
THE UNITS IN QUESTION ARE NOT OPERATED ON SITE, THEY ARE NOT TEST DRIVEN, THEY CANNOT BE-ALL OF THIS IS TO HAVE A COUPLE OF THESE ON DISPLAY.
COME OUT AND LOOK AT AND TO BE ABLE TO TRANSPORT THOSE WHEN THEY COME IN FROM THE MANUFACTURER, GET THEM REGISTERED AS REQUIRED BY LAW BEFORE DELIVERING THEM TO THE CUSTOMER. I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. >> COMMISSIONERS, ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT AT THIS TIME? NO?
THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
>> SO, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. ANYONEP WANTS TO COMMENT YOU MAY DO SO AT THIS TIME. I DO NOT SEE ANYONE COMING FORWARD. DOES ANYONE ON THE COMMISSION HAVE ANY FINAL QUESTIONS OR WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION CONCERNING AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 4 AT THIS TIME? YES, COMMISSIONER FOSTER.
>> YES, THANK YOU. I MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND VOTE TO APPROVE WITH STAFF STIPULATIONS CASE NUMBER PLSUP20 TWIV-163.
ROMCO AUTOSALES. >> THANK YOU COMMISSIONER FOSTER. YES, COMMISSIONER PENDLETON.
>> I WISH TO SECOND THE MOTION. >> THANK YOU.
COMMISSIONER FOSTER MADE A MOTION AND COMMISSIONER PENDLETON SECONDED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE PSLUP20 TWIV 25163, ROMCO AUTO SALES.
