Attention:

Tammy Ard} Town Secretary
Patricia Adams} Town Attorney
It is my belief that for any councilperson to be effective and to contribute to the continuing
improvement of this community} he or she must be able to devote the time necessary to do the job.
When I was elected over two years ago I was able to devote a great deal of time to be a councilperson
and took a pride in being able to do the necessary research to be fully informed on any issue that came
before the council. Unfortunately I no longer have that same amount of time.
The citizens of Trophy Club} as well as the Town Staff} deserve to have councilmembers that are totally
informed so that the decisions that are made are based on a complete knowledge of the subject and
always serve the best interest of all of the citizens of Trophy Club and not the interest of a few.
My wife} whom I support} has been blessed with a huge expansion in her real estate business. Her hard
work and professional approach made her the #1 Coldwell Banker agent in DFW for 2013 and in the top
1% nationally. 2014 looks to be even better. That growth has resulted not only in requiring more of my
time but the addition of a full time assistant. Several months ago I also launched a retail firearms
business which is also seeing excellent growth and requires a large time commitment.
Because I can no longer devote the time that I feel is necessary to serve the Trophy Club citizens I am
regrettably tendering my resignation as Town Councilperson for the Town of Trophy Club effective
immediately.
I want to thank the citizens for allowing me to serve them. It has been a pleasure and an honor to do so.
Res ectfully}

Re: Zoning Ordinance – Snow Cones
Town Council Meeting, Friday, August 1, 2014
Agenda Item:
Consider and take appropriate action regarding an Ordinance amending Chapter 13, "Zoning" of
the Code of Ordinances of the Town, by amending Article II, "Definitions", by amending Article
III, "Classification of New and Unlisted Properties", and by amending Article VI, "Conditional and
Specific Uses" to add a definition for Snow Cone Establishment, to provide that a Snow Cone
Establishment is a permitted Retail Use in specified District Classifications and to add Snow
Cone Establishment to the list of establishments permitted only by Specific Use Permit;
providing a penalty not to exceed $2,000 per offense per day; providing a savings clause; and
providing an effective date.
Explanation:
The permitted use tables of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance do not allow for “Temporary
Snow Cone Establishments”. Staff has been directed by the Town Council to research and
develop an ordinance that would allow this use within the Town of Trophy Club.
The Zoning Ordinance charges the P&Z Commission to consider and make recommendations to
the Town Council for any “New Uses and Classifications” to the Permitted Use Table and Zoning
District Regulations.
An individual who owns a snow cone business approached the Town and asked to operate their
snow cone business here in Trophy Club. Currently the individual has been in contact with The
Church at Trophy Lakes, which is currently zoned “NS” – Neighborhood Services, which would
not allow for retail of any kind in that district.
Town Council - Budget Workshop Page 7 of 22 Meeting Date: Friday, August 1, 2014
Currently there is not a “Temporary Snow Cone Establishment” use in the permitted use charts.
The closest use in the permitted use charts would be a “Restaurant”, which are allowed to
operate only with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in “CG” – Commercial General, “CR” –
Commercial Recreation, and “PO” – Professional Office. The CUP requires a Public Hearing by
the P&Z Commission and the Town Council. Several of the existing restaurants in Trophy Club
are located within “PD” – Planned Development Zoning. If a snow cone business were to
request to operate in a PD District, the PD would have to be amended to allow for the
“Temporary Snow Cone Establishment” as a permitted use.

Staff has reached out to surrounding communities to determine how other municipalities have
handled these types of uses. The City of Keller and The City of Southlake classify these types of
uses as “Outside Sales” and are allowed in commercial zoning districts with the approval of a
Specific Use Permit (SUP), which requires a public hearing at the Planning and Zoning
Commission and the City Council. The municipalities also require health inspections to insure
that proper health safety and sanitary provisions are being adhered to per the Texas
Administrative Code of the Texas Department of State Health Services.

Goal #5: Financial and Operational Stewardship
Planning and Zoning Commission:
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item on Monday, July 21, 2014. A Public
Hearing was held in which a local business owner was present to ask permission to be allowed
to operate their Snow Cone Establishment within the Town.
The Commission discussed possible regulations including allowing them with a Temporary Use
Permit. The discussion and overall consensus of the Commission was to provide an avenue to
Town Council - Budget Workshop Page 8 of 22 Meeting Date: Friday, August 1, 2014
allow Snow Cone Establishments as a use in some zoning districts while still maintaining the
authority for discretionary review of each request on a case by case basis in order to evaluate
the effect they might have on surrounding property owners and the community.
A motion was made to recommend that “Snow Cone Establishments” be added to Ch. 13 –
Article III, Section 3.03- Permitted Use Table, with a Specific Use Permit (SUP) in the following
districts; CG- Commercial General, CR- Commercial Recreation, NS- Neighborhood Services, PO-
Professional Office, and GU- Governmental Use. The motion also included a request that a
definition for a “Snow Cone Establishment” be added to Ch. 13 – Article II, Section 2.02-
General Definitions.
Snow Cone Establishment: A snow cone establishment is a seasonable operation that prepares
and sells chipped or shaved ice and flavored syrup treats to the public for off-site consumption.

The motion for approval carried by a vote of seven (7) in favor to none (0) opposed.
The Town Council held a Public Hearing for this item on Tuesday, July 22, 2014. No public
comments were received. This item will be considered for action by the Town Council on Friday,
August 1, 2014.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 2014-20 making amendments to the Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance, “Temporary Snow Cone Establishments” should be allowed with a Specific
Use Permit (SUP) in zoning districts that are compatible with commercial type uses. The SUP’s
should be for a specific length of time and should expire at the end of the time period approved
by the SUP. The SUP process would allow for some reasonable conditions to be approved
concerning distance requirements from residential uses, aesthetics, hours of operation, etc.

Chapter 13 - Zoning
Section 6.02 Specific Use Permit
A. Purpose: The Specific Use Permit procedure is designed to provide the Planning & Zoning
Commission and the Town Council with an opportunity for discretionary review of requests to
establish or construct uses or structures which may be necessary or desirable for, or which have the
potential for a deleterious impact upon the health, safety and welfare of the public, for the purpose of
determining whether the proposed location of the use or structure is appropriate and whether it will
be designed and located so as to provide, minimize or mitigate any potentially adverse effects upon
the community or the other properties in its vicinity. The discretionary Specific Use Permit procedure
is designed to enable the Planning & Zoning Commission and the Town Council to impose conditions
upon such uses and structures that are designed to avoid, minimize or mitigate potentially adverse
effects upon the community or other properties in the vicinity of the proposed use or structure, and to
deny requests for Specific Use Permits when it is apparent that a proposed use or structure will or
may occasionally harm the community or cause substantial injury to the value, lawful use, and
reasonable enjoyment of other properties in the vicinity of the proposed use or structure.
B. Authorized Specific Uses: The following uses and structures may be established or constructed only
upon the issuance of a Specific Use Permit in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance.
1. Gas and oil well drilling and production.
2. Children’s Day Care Center, unless otherwise specifically allowed.
C. Application: An application for Specific Use Permit may be filed by the owner of, or other person
having a contractual or possessory interest in, the subject property. Any application filed by a person
who is not the owner of the property for which the Specific Use Permit is sought shall be
accompanied by evidence of the consent of the owner.
D. Permit Application: An application for a Specific Use Permit, along with the permit fee, shall be filed
with the Planning & Zoning Coordinator, who shall forward a copy to the Planning & Zoning
Commission. The application shall contain the following information:
1. Applicant’s name, address, phone number and their interest in the subject property.
2. Owner’s name, address and phone number, if different from the applicant, as well as the
owner’s signed consent to the filing of the application.
3. Zoning classification and present use of the subject property.
4. A description of the proposed Specific Use.
5. An application for site plan approval, which shall be in accordance with Section 41, Site Plan
Requirements.
6. A detailed explanation of why the proposed use will not cause substantial injury to the value,
use or enjoyment of the property in the neighborhood.
7. A statement as to how the proposed Specific Use is to be designed, arranged and operated in
order to ensure that development and use of neighboring property in accordance with the
applicable district regulations will not be prevented or made unlikely, and that the value, use
and reasonable enjoyment of such property will not be prevented or made unlikely, and that
Town Council - Budget Workshop Page 15 of 22 Meeting Date: Friday, August 1, 2014
Chapter 13 - Zoning
the value, use and reasonable enjoyment of such property will not be impaired or adversely
affected.
8. An identification of any potentially adverse effects that may be associated with the proposed
Specific Use, and of the means proposed by the applicant to avoid, minimize or mitigate such
effects.
9. Such additional terms and conditions including design standards as the Planning and Zoning
Commission and the Town Council deem necessary to preserve the value and character of
the affected property and neighboring properties.
E. Consideration Of Specific Use Permit Application: In considering an application for a Specific Use
Permit, the Planning & Zoning Commission and the Town Council shall take into consideration the
following factors:
1. Whether the proposed Site Plan will adequately provide for safety from fire hazards and have
effective measures of fire control.
2. Whether the proposed Site Plan provides adequate drainage.
3. Whether the proposed Specific Use will have noise producing elements that are not
sufficiently controlled.
4. Whether the glare of vehicular and stationary lights is compatible with the established
character of surrounding land uses.
5. Whether the location, lighting and type of signs and the relationship of signs to traffic control is
appropriate for the site.
6. Whether such signs will have an adverse effect on adjacent properties.
7. Whether the proposed Specific Use will adversely affect the public at the site and the area
immediately surrounding the Specific Use.
8. Whether the proposed use will have any substantial or undue adverse effect upon adjacent
property, the character of the neighborhood, traffic conditions, parking, utility facilities and
other matters affecting the public, health, safety and general welfare.
9. Whether the proposed use will be constructed, arranged and operated so as not to dominate
the immediate vicinity or to interfere with the development and use of neighboring property in
accordance with the applicable district regulations. In determining whether the proposed
Specific Use will so dominate the immediate neighborhood, consideration shall be given to:
a. The location, nature and height of buildings, structures, walls and fences on the site, and
b. The nature and extent of landscaping and screening on the site.
10. Whether the proposed use otherwise complies with all applicable regulations of this
ordinance, including lot size requirements, bulk regulations, use limitations and performance
standards.
11. Whether the proposed use at the specified location will contribute to or promote the welfare or
convenience of the public.
12. Whether off-street parking and loading areas will be provided in accordance with the
Town Council - Budget Workshop Page 16 of 22 Meeting Date: Friday, August 1, 2014
Chapter 13 - Zoning
standards set out in Section 47, Off-Street Parking Requirements, and Section7.05, Off-Street
Loading Requirements, and such additional areas will be screened from any adjoining
residential uses and located so as to protect such residential uses from any injurious effect.
13. Whether adequate access roads or entrance and exit drives will be provided and will be
designed so as to prevent traffic hazards and to minimize traffic congestion in public streets
and alleys.
14. Whether the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services
such as highways, streets, parking spaces, police and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water and sewers and schools; or that the persons or agencies responsible
for the establishment of the proposed use will provide adequately for such services.
15. Whether the proposed use will result in the destruction, loss or damage of any natural, scenic
or historic feature of significant importance.
G. Conditions And Restrictions: In considering a Specific Use Permit application, The Planning & Zoning
Commission may recommend, and the Town Council may impose, such conditions, safeguards and
restrictions upon the premises benefited by the Specific Use as may be necessary to avoid,
minimize, or mitigate any potentially injurious effect of such Specific Use upon other property in the

this Section is made subject to conditions to be met by the applicant, the applicant shall, upon

I. Effect of Issuance Of A Permit For A Specific Use: The issuance of a permit for a Specific Use shall
not authorize the establishment or extension of any use nor the development, construction,
reconstruction, alteration or moving of any building or structure, but shall merely authorize the

by the codes and Ordinances of the Town, including but not limited to, a building permit, a certificate

lapses for a period of six (6) months or more, the permit shall become void. The applicant may
choose to reinitiate the Specific Use Permit approval procedure, including all fees required in the
process.
