PUBLIC HEARING C.1 Consider request from Tesla Motors for a Specific Use Permit allowing general vehicle repair at Welch Road and take appropriate action. Chairman Patterson opened the public hearing and read the following information into the record. Tesla Motors, a national electric vehicle company, recently purchased the existing building located at Welch Road to serve as their regional vehicle maintenance center. However, Tesla is now proposing to use the site for more comprehensive vehicle repairs, ranging from minor software and electrical repairs to wheel alignment. Last year the City approved Ordinance No requiring all future general vehicle repair businesses located in a Light Industrial (LI) zoning district to obtain a Specific Use Permit before operation. No outdoor storage or display is proposed by Tesla with this SUP application. Tesla has agreed to make landscape improvements along their Welch road frontage. City Staff recommends approval of the Specific Use Permit allowing general vehicle repair at Welch Road as described on the proposed site plan. Mr. Gillies, Planning Director, gave a brief presentation regarding the request. He stated that all vehicles would remain indoors and no outdoor display would occur. He also stated that all vehicles were electric and no gas products would be located on site allowing for a much cleaner type of vehicle repair. Mr. Gillies stated that the existing building was 8,500 square feet in area, the service area would occupy the main portion of the building with 4 bays and a small portion of the building dedicated to storage of auto parts. Mr. Gillies stated that the landscape plan provides for 3 additional trees to be planed as well as new ground cover and expansion of existing planter beds. Chairman Patterson asked if the applicant was present. The applicant stated that they were available to answer questions. With no comments from the audience, Chairman Patterson closed the public hearing. Commissioner O'Quinn stated that this business would be an asset to Farmers Branch and he was in support of the cleanliness of the operations. Commissioner Beck asked the number of employees and number of customers they would have on site daily. Mr. Jack Benson, Service Manager with Tesla Motors stated that they will have 4 employees at this location and they would have few clients coming in at different times throughout the day. Mr. Gillies stated that the applicant is required to provide 6 spaces for employees and 6 additional spaces for customers. A motion was made by Commissioner O'Quinn, seconded by Commissioner Beck, that this Specific Use Permit be recommended for approval.
