Southlake planning commission OKs SUP for small wrestling school at South Nolan Drive
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend a specific use permit allowing a small commercial wrestling school at 545 South Nolan Drive, subject to staff conditions and an SUP term tied to the lease and any extensions.
The Southlake Planning and Zoning Commission on March 6 voted 5-0 to recommend approval of a specific use permit (ZA25-7) to allow a commercial wrestling school at 545 South Nolan Drive, Suite 250.
The commission chair, Dan Kubiak, opened the item after staff described the request and the site’s zoning. City staff said the property is zoned I-1 (light industrial) with a future land-use designation of industrial and noted that the city’s zoning ordinance was amended in 2015 to require a specific use permit for commercial schools in I-1 and I-2 districts.
The applicant, Britney Vogue, identified herself as one of the owners of YADental, which occupies the building and has excess space the company no longer needs. “Our goal is not to have a big school. It's just to have a really good school to develop, you know, wrestlers in this area,” Vogue said, adding that she anticipates about 10 students per class with one or two instructors. Staff told the commission the proposed hours are 6 to 9 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends.
Commission discussion focused on typical SUP conditions and tying the permit to the lease. A commissioner amended the motion to make the SUP approval run for the term of the lease and any lease extensions; the amendment was included in the final motion. The commission’s approval was explicitly conditioned on the staff report dated Feb. 28, 2025, and the specific use permit review summary No. 2 dated Feb. 28, 2025.
There were no members of the public who spoke during the item’s public hearing. The commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval and will forward the item to the City Council; staff indicated the council is scheduled to consider first reading at its April meeting.
The commission’s action authorizes the applicant to request the SUP from City Council under the conditions stated in the staff report and the SUP summary. Any final permit issued by City Council will reflect the conditions and the SUP term tied to the lease and any extensions.
