Planning commission approves contractor shop and outside storage at 1106 Shady Grove
Summary
The commission approved SUP25090035 for a contractor shop and outside storage at 1106 Shady Grove, agreeing to Development Review Committee conditions that limit outside equipment and vehicle length and require screening walls and gates.
The City of 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 1106 Shady Grove.
Staff told commissioners the property is zoned light industrial and meets density, dimensional, parking and landscape requirements; the Development Review Committee recommended approval with conditions limiting outdoor equipment to listed vehicles and capping vehicle length at under 40 feet. Staff also noted the applicant will provide a six-foot masonry wall and a six-foot wrought-iron fence to screen storage areas.
Jim Dewey of JDJR Engineers, speaking for the applicant, said the company has met architectural standards and is not seeking variances. “We’re not asking for variances. They’ve met everything architecturally,” Dewey said, and described gates that will be locked outside business hours and screening intended to keep storage out of view from SH‑161.
Commissioners asked about neighborhood outreach and demolition of existing structures; Dewey said tenants on-site were aware the property was for sale and would relocate. With no speakers opposed and the DRC conditions in place, a commissioner moved to approve the SUP per staff recommendations; the motion passed unanimously.
The decision authorizes the applicant to proceed under the SUP conditions and requires compliance with the listed operational limitations. The commission did not add additional conditions during the meeting; staff will monitor compliance as specified by the DRC.
