certain property. Ms. Laurie Kinser, representative for Valverde Enterprises LLC
is requesting a Specific Use Permit to operate a private club. The tract is currently
zoned as General Commercial (C2) and is located at the southwest comer of the
intersection of the Sam Rayburn Memorial Highway (State Highway 121) and FM
2862, and generally known as 7522 Sam Rayburn Memorial Hwy.
The Public Hearing was opened at 8:15 p.m.
Mr. Schwanke gave a presentation and answered questions regarding the zoning request.
The request for a Specific Use Permit is to open a Private Club in conjunction with a
restaurant in the facility know in the past as Circle V, Vinny's, and Home Sweet Home.
Mr. Schwanke noted that under the Private Club approval 50 percent of the revenue must
come from the sale of Food. In other words the facility can not become strictly a bar
facility. Audits are required on a 6 month basis to monitor the ratio of food sales to
alcohol sales. Both Circle V and Vinny's operated with a Specific Use Permit for a
private club. The City did not experience significant problems with the operations. The
reason for the re-approval is that after a lapse of 60 days of continuance the Specific Use
Permit terminates (part III C, Section 37.01 (b) of the Anna Code).
Persons with a disability who want to attend this meeting who may need assistance should contact the City
Secretary, at 972-924-3325 two wor1cing days prior to the meeting so that appropriate anangements can be made.

Provisions of Part III C Section 34.09 (c) (3) of the City of Anna Code require a private
club to be on a tract of land two acres or more. The Anna Board of Adjustment approved
a variance request by Valverde Enterprises to permit a private club on this tract which is
less than two acres at their July 21, 2007 meeting. Therefore, this request on the same
property is valid.

Powell Pkwy.
The Public Hearing opened at 8:20 p.m.
Mr. Schwanke gave a brief presentation and answered questions regarding the zoning
request. He noted that in 2009 this property was rezoning from "C-2" and "U" to "C-l".
The owners took exception to this change and desired more clarification of allowed uses
and wanted some additional uses to be allowed. As such, after negotiation, both the
owners of the property and Staff are proposing the attached "PD" Ordinance. This
zoning request initiated by the City allows for the additional uses and clarifications.
Some of these uses will be allowed by right while several are allowed as conditional uses
requiring Special Use permit approval. He also noted that the Staff is recommending
approval ofthis request as shown
