Consideration of authorizing a public hearing to determine the proper zoning on property zoned Planned Development District (PD) No. 269 (Deep Ellum/Near East Side District), for an area generally bounded by the T. & P. Railroad right-of-way on the north, Parry Avenue on the east, R.L.Thornton Freeway on the south, and Central Expressway on the west. The area of request contains approximately 273.64 acres. Consideration is to be given to appropriate zoning for the area to include requiring a specific use permit for bar and restaurant uses, amending the requirements for bar and restaurant uses, and adding environmental performance regulations to address noise standards. The purpose of the authorized hearing is to address certain issues in the area including the public safety concerns relating to establishments that have certificates of occupancy for restaurant uses by right, but operate more like bar uses, especially late at night. Also establishing new noise regulations specifically tailored to the neighborhood to better reflect the character of Deep Ellum and enable the operation of the district's historic entertainment uses while also introducing clarity and consistency. This is a hearing to consider the request to authorize the hearing and not the rezoning of property at this time. Planner: Seferinus Okoth, AICP Council District: 2,6
