Planning commission approves contractor shop with outside storage at 1106 Shady Grove
Summary
The Grand Prairie Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously approved SUP25090035, allowing a contractor shop with limited outside equipment storage at roughly 1106 Shady Grove; staff conditions limit outside equipment and vehicle length and require masonry screening.
The Grand Prairie Planning and Zoning Commission on Nov. 11 approved a specific-use permit and site plan (SUP25090035) for a contractor shop with outside storage at approximately 1106 Shady Grove.
Staff told commissioners the property, now zoned light industrial after recent city-council zoning and future-land-use amendments, meets density, parking and design requirements. Staff recommended approval with two conditions: outside equipment be limited to the vehicles and equipment listed in the operational plan and site vehicles be limited to less than 40 feet in length.
Jim Dewey of JDJR Engineers, representing the applicant, said the business is a commercial mechanical contractor relocating nearby. He said most materials will be stored indoors and that outdoor storage was requested to accommodate box trucks for larger jobs. “From 161, you’re not going to see any of the outside storage,” Dewey said, describing the proposed six-foot masonry wall and locked gates to shield the site.
Commissioners pressed the applicant on neighborhood outreach and demolition of two rental houses on the property. The applicant said tenants were aware the property was for sale and recommended proactive neighbor notification before demolition.
Commissioner Fedorco moved to close public discussion and approve the item per Development Review Committee recommendations; Commissioner Victor Medina seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
The SUP approval includes the DRC conditions on screening and vehicle size. The applicant must comply with building, landscape and operational standards as listed in the site plan and will follow any additional city review procedures required during permitting.
