Richardson, Planning Manager [W) SUBJECT: Consider a request to allow a hearing on File 1661 -P prior to the end of the 12 month period as per Article V, Section 8 (2) of the Planning Commission Bylaws. STAFF REPORT Toni Sibley, the applicant, is requesting that the Planning Commission allow a joint public hearing to occur May 19, 2003 on File 166 1 -P. File 166 1 -P is a request for a specific use permit to allow the expansion of the Correctional Systems, Inc. facility at 2495 Gulf. On June 17, 2002, the Planning Commission and City Council held a public hearing on a specific use permit request that would allow the expansion of the facility into a vacant church building on an adjacent property. The building was to be used for office space and a dining area. The Planning Commission approved the request. On June 25, 2002, the City Council denied the request. In February, 2003, Mr, Sibley made an application for the same expansion of the facility into the aforementioned church building and to also allow the rehabilitation of the facility's former office building into additional dormitory space. This new request included the entire facility located at 2495 Gulf. The item was to be scheduled for the March, 2003 Planning Commission meeting. On March 7, Mr. Sibley requested a postponement of the hearing on the specific use permit until the May 17 Planning Commission/City Council Joint Hearing. Article V, Section 8 of the Planning Commission Bylaws states that a request that has been considered on the same parcel of land during the past twelve calendar months shall not be rescheduled until the end of the twelve month period except as follows: 1. Upon request or referral back from the City Council 2. On written request by the applicant with pertinent facts which the City Planning Commission deemed sufficient to warrant a new hearing. Mr. Sibley has submitted a request for the new hearing. Exhibits are attached. FRO11 :SJDLEY/Wk i-DVIRN FAX NO. ;40z$ 838 4`41 11ar. c o t-i TMOMAG JSIB UY OCAftf!)
