4. Consider and Possible Action on Recommendation of Proposed Ordinance #03-0847 -
Amendng the Zoning Ordinance by Amending Section 42.2 Special definitions and
Amending 30.2 Schedule of Uses; Amending the Code of Ordinances by Amending
Section 3.104 Sign Regulations
Paul Edleman referenced section 42.2 section 2(n) of the proposed ordinance and asked,
if it was ever their intention that businesses could not have signs inside the building. He
asked if they could just strike that section from the ordinance?
Jimmy Frazier indicated if you read it right, the only place you could have the sign is in
the front window facing the inside of the store.
Paul Edleman indicated he did not think they had discussed the signs inside the
building, he thought they wanted to not allow signs on the outside of the building
advertising beer.
Discussion continued regarding placement of luminous signs.
Cecile Carson indicated it was her undentandng that the Commission wanted the
direct language from the Coppell ordnance. This is the language from that ordinance.
Discussed 108.52(c) of the TABC Code.
City Manager indicated they are only talking about neon signs, not other types of signs.
They can still advertise with other types.
Lengthy discussion regarding the sign portion of the ordinance.
Paul Edleman referenced section 3 of the proposed ordinance, and indicated this was
in reference to a beer barn. He asked if that means that they could have drive thru sales
with a Specific Use Permit?
Cecile Carson indicated the City cannot regulate a beer barn per se. This is a closely
worded definition because you can sell beer and wine in a "food and beverage shop".
Jerry Jenkins asked how a grocery store was going to sell beer and wine.
Discussion followed, and the City Manager indicated this was not the ordinance that was
passed by the Council; This is the proposed ordinance.
Discussion regarding the requirement of a Specific Use Permit.
Commission discussed ordinance that had been passed by the City Council.
Cecile Carson indicated that Mr. Dillard had recommended that language because the
chart definition was for a "Food and Beverage Sales Store".
Paul Edleman asked under the proposed ordinance if Albertson's comes in and wants
to sale Beer and Wine, they will have to come get a SUP?
Cecile Carson indicated they still need a definition of a grocery store.
Discussed how a grocery store will sale beer based on the current ordnance.
Jerry Jenkins asked what the purpose of the ordinance is for.
City Manager indicated it was so they would have some control.
Jerry Jenkins indicated he did not want to control anything.
City Manager indicated then they should eliminate the ordinance.
Discussed that the ordinance does not exclude a restaurant.
Discussed wording that is in the ordinance would classify an establishment as a
restaurant.
Discussed that Section 3 in the proposed ordinance would give them the ability to
regulate beer and wine sales via an SUP.
City Manager indicated that the attorneys that we use have been dealing with
municipalities for over 40 years. They will write an ordnance stating whatever we
request, but the ordinance may not be legal. There are certain things we cannot do and
just because another city does it does not make it legal.
Discussion continued regarding the ordinance.
City Manager indicated there was a difference in regulating a business that would sell
beer and wine and a business that would sell beer and wine with a drive thru. This
ordinance only addresses the regulation of drive thru widows.
Gary Bilyeu indicated it is not a far stretch to say we only want it in a certain area, the
whole thing says we are regulating a beverage shop with a drive thru. How is that not
discriminating? He indicated he did not understand why they were only focusing on
those with a drive thru and that everyone else could do whatever they want.
City Manager indicated he felt the commission was concerned about allowing beer
barns, and staff has tried to follow thru and find an ordinance that would do that.
Cecile Carson indicated under TABC you can sell beer and wine in any nonresidential
zoning. In Coppell their definition was for a convenience store. They were not
regulating beer and wine sales, they were regulating a convenience store.
Gary Bilyeu indicated for the record they are not trying to hamper business owners to
sell products outside other than beer and wine. There has been confusion, but trying to
get back on subject a little bit, if they say tonight that they do not want to go forward
with the definition for food and beverage sales, and they say they want to have control
of how beer and wine sales are done within the entire city what would be the neat ste?
City Manager indicated they have already passed an ordinance stating the areas where
beer and wine can be sold.
Paul Edleman indicated this ordinance only says they would like the opportunity to look
at the business and location before it goes in.
Discussion continued regarding the current ordinances regulating beer and wine sales.
Discussed zoning categories in which beer and wine sales are currently allowed.
Russell Martin asked who enforces TABC.
Staff indicated TABC does.
Gary Bilyeu indicated there was an annual permit required by the City of Sanger to
make sure the businesses were following all guidelines.
Discussion regarding the state fee and local government fee and if it was an annual fee.
Discussion regarding the processing fee allowed.
Discussion followed regarding the current City of Sanger ordinance and possible
changes to it.
Russell Martin indicated they should not make decisions based on what's in the
newspaper, but what is best for the City.
Thomas Muir indicated he would like to see the ordinance that regulated beer and wine.
They had listed three things they wanted the ordinance to address. Does the approved
ordinance include the first two items they wanted in the ordinance, without the drive
thru regulation, and this ordinance addresses the drive thru regulation?
Cecile Carson indicated TABC regulations address the fu-st item.
Thomas Muir asked if it deals with the second item of outside sales and storage of beer
and wine being prohibited?
Discussion regarding the language in the current ordinance addressing outside storage
and sales.
Thomas Muir indicated he felt they should be able to regulate the appearance, signage,
and cleanliness. He wanted to have a clean appearance. He is for non luminous signs,
abide by TABC regulations, no outside display, and is in favor of requiring a Specific
Use Permit.
Jimmy Frazier did not see how the Planning and Zoning should be involved in signs.
Cecile Carson indicated "Planning" is normally involved in the regulation of signs.
Gary Bilyeu asked if they can adopt the definition for "Quick -Service Food and
Beverage Shop" and then address the issues of neon signs and no outside display and
storage, etc.?
Discussion continued regarding signs and enforcement.
Gary Bilyeu indicated that the current ordinance that is in place has a lot of the
information in it that they want.
Jerry Jenkins indicated there was a mistake on section 1, Chapter 11 should be changed
to Chapter 14.
Discussed the proposed ordinance and the current ordinance.
Cecile Carson indicated the proposed ordinance is for a store with a drive thru, where
do you want the storage provision to go?
Gary Bilyeu indicated they want the "outside storage" regulation to be applied to all
categories not just the drive thru establishments.
Discussed current and new definition of "Quick Service Food and Beverage Shop".
Discussed to prohibit only outside storage and sales of "packaged beverages".
Cecile Carson indicated they will need to take this back to Mr. Dillard.
Paul Edleman moved to adopt ordinance #03-08-07 with provision that Section 93 in
ordinance #01-01-07 be attached with approval from the City Attorney, that the
"outside display and storage of packaged beverages is prohibited" .
Cecile Carson asked if they want it to apply only to the drive thru establishments.
Paul Edleman indicated they want it to apply to everything.
City Manager asked if they want to leave Section 2 as is.
Commission indicated they did.
Motion died for lack of second.
Discussion continued regarding ordinances and requirement of a Specific Use Permit.

urbanized areas. An arterial is used for longer urban trips and carries a high portion
of the total traffic with a minimum of mileage.
2. Collector: Carries traffic from local streets to Arterial. Also may serve local
facilities such as schools. churches. Uses served would include medium and him
density residential, limited commercial facilities. elementary schools, some small
oices and as direct access within industrial parks. Collector streets also carry heavy
tra rc to mgLor commercial and industrial facilities from thoroughfare. Uses would
include o ce parks. industrial parks, and community level commercial facilities.
3. ResidentiaULocal: Carries tragic from residential and commercial areas to collector
streets and interconnects individual sites. Local streets carry light traffic volumes
and trips are ofa short duration.
I. Street widths proposed for industrial subdivisions or commercial developments shall be
not less than that required for a Collector.
J. Half streets shall be prohibited, except where there is no alternative for reasonable
development of the subdivision in conformance with the other requirements of these regulations
and where the city finds it will be practicable to require the dedication of the other half when the
adjoining property is subdivided. Wherever a half street has already been provided adjacent to an
area to be subdivided, the other remaining portion of the street shall be platted within such
subdivision. Where part of a residential or collector street is being dedicated along a common
property line, the first dedication shall be one-half (1/2) of the proposed street right-of-way plus
five feet (S) unless a construction easement on the adjoining parcel has been obtained, and the
developer shall construct the half street or place in escrow cash for the estimated half -paving cost
as determined by the city council.
K. Cul-de-sacs in residential additions shall not be longer than six hundred feet (600') from
the nearest intersection, except under unusual conditions with the approval of the city council. In
industrial areas, cul-de-sacs shall not exceed one thousand feet (1,000') from the nearest
intersecting street, and there shall be provided at the closed -end a turnaround having a minimum
outside roadway diameter of eighty-one feet (81') and a minimum street property line diameter of
one hundred feet (100'). Alternate turnaround designs in residential tract developments which
provide adequate turnaround area may be considered or approved by the city.
L. All streets shall be paved, and paving shall conform to the requirements of Section 6,
Improvements, of these regulations.
M. Street grades shall be established regarding topography, proposed land -use and the
facilities in the area surrounding the land to be subdivided. Minimum grades shall be twee rive
tenths percent (304/6) 0,50% on concrete streets and five tenths percent (0.50%) on all other
types of street paving. Cross (transverse) slopes between pavement and the right-of-way shall not
be less than 100:1 or steeper than 3:1. Where necessary, additional right-of-way or slope
easement shall be provided to meet this requirement.
N. Street name markers shall be installed in accordance with the prescribed type currently in

erections will be at the expense of the subdivider.
O. The materials for all traffic control and regulatory signs shall be furnished by the
subdivider and installed by the city for all intersections within or abutting the subdivision. Such
signs shall be in strict compliance with the regulations of the Federal Highway Administration
and according to the requirements of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, latest
edition. No signs will be placed in undeveloped portions of the subdivision.
P. The subdivider shall comply with the guidelines and criteria for driveways, including the
design requirements, grades, spacing and access standards as provided by the city's thoroughfare
plan.
Q. If a proposed development is projected to generate a lesser traffic volume than would
normally require roadways as specified in the master thoroughfare plan, the developer may
install a "minimum acceptable alternative" (as delineated in the Appendix). The full right-of-way
and pavement thickness is unchanged. Only the outside two (2) lanes would be paved in this
situation. The city must approve the use of this option."
Section 2. All ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are, to the extent of
such conflict, hereby repealed.
Section 3. It is hereby declared to be the intention of the City Council that the sections,
paragraphs, sentences, clauses, phrases and words of this Ordinance are severable and, if any
word, phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, or section of this Ordinance shall be declared
unconstitutional by the valid judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, such
unconstitutionality shall not affect any of the remaining portions of this Ordinance, since the
same would have been enacted by the City Council without the incorporation in this Ordinance
of any such unconstitutional word, phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, or section.
Section 4. Any person, firm, or corporation who shall violate any of the provisions of
this article shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined in accordance
with the general penalty provision found in Section 1.109 of this Code, in an amount not
exceeding five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each offense.
Section 5. This ordinance will take effect immediately from and after its passage and the
publication of the caption, as the law and Charter in such cases provide.
