Case 1820-Z/DART Transit Station

BACKGROUND:

COMMISSION FINDINGS:

The Addison Planning and Zoning Commission, meeting in regular session on December 15, 2020, voted to recommend approval of an ordinance changing an existing Special Use Permit, through Ordinances 097-055 and 002-002, located at 4925 Arapaho Road, to include a rail station as an allowed use and amend development plans in order to allow a rail station at the Addison Transit Center with the following conditions:

The rail station must be built in accordance with the design guidelines set forth by the Addison Art and Design Committee.
The feed from the security cameras shall be available to the Addison Police Department, and/or other law enforcement agencies responsible for protecting the public.

Voting Aye: Catalani, Craig, DeFrancisco, Meleky, Resnik, Souers, Wheeler
Voting Nay: none
Absent: none

SPEAKERS AT THE PUBLIC HEARING: None

Please see Staff Report for additional details.

The Planning and Zoning Commission has included a condition that the video feed from the security cameras be available to the Addison Police Department and certain other law enforcement agencies. Staff has determined it is not feasible to make this connection. The Police Department will continue to work closely with DART police on security issues at the station as is the current practice. Staff therefore recommends removing this condition.

RECOMMENDATION:

Administration recommends approval with the exception of the stipulation to make the station security cameras available to the Police Department.
