4. PUBLIC HEARING Case 1793-Z/14555 Dallas Parkway. Public hearing, discussion, and take action on a recommendation regarding an ordinance changing the zoning on property located at 14555 Dallas Parkway, which property is currently zoned PD, Planned Development, through Ordinances O16-028 and O17-05, by amending the conceptual site plan to include an outdoor display of a demo building related to the sale of equipment shelters.
  Discussion:
Olga Chernomorets, Senior Planner, presented the Staff Report.

Vice Chair Groce inquired about the status of the second phase of the Fourteen555 Dallas Parkway office development and whether the proposed demo data center would be representative of the product offered by the company. Olga Chernomorets indicated that the plans for Phase II are currently undergoing review and that the proposed demo data center is an exact sample of the actual product sold by Compass Data.

Commissioner Souers inquired about the design waiver request and whether the property owner has agreed to the proposed design. Olga Chernomorets responded that the demo data center is a replica of the product sold by Compass Data, which does not match to design of the existing office building onsite, but the property owner has signed off on the application for this request.

The Commission had a brief discussion about the screening and visibility of the proposed structure.

Sharif Fotouh, owner of Compass Data, answered questions about the purpose of the structure, the proposed location of the structure on the site and the possibility of locating it off-site or within the building, safety concerns and pedestrian access, other existing business and demo structure locations, utilities to support the structure, and removal of the structure and restoration of the site upon business relocation.

Commissioner Resnik voiced a concern as to whether the proposed structure should be acceptable since it does not comply with the requirements for this zoning district and has to be screened by trees in order to hide it from view to remedy the visual impact.

The Commission had a discussion about the permanence of the proposed structure and restoration of the site if the business was to relocate to a different property. Mr. Fotouh stated that per their lease agreement the structure would be removed and the site restored if Compass Data leaves.

Chair Kathryn Wheeler opened the meeting as a public hearing.

Public Hearing: There were no speakers on this item.

Chair Kathryn Wheeler closed the public hearing.

Motion: Recommend approval of the proposed request as presented.
