life;

recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, and to provide nutritional, dietary and

workforce by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, are also trained to diagnose conditions

that doctors of chiropractic can be key partners in helping them to keep moving by treating pain
and improving function with noninvasive, nondrug approaches that are safe and effective;

Staff Analysis
LAND USE ANALYSIS
The subject site is located within the Planned Development -11 Zoning District. Thrift Store uses
require SUP approval within the underlying General Retail (GR) zoning of PD -11. Thrift Store
use is defined as:
A retail store that primarily sells second -hand or used merchandise, furniture and other goods to
the general public.
Thrift use must meet the following conditions of 10-2500:
1. A thrift store must be located a minimum of two miles from an other thrift store,
measured from door to door (Section 10-2500 (1)).
Grace Bridge Resale will be located 1.1 miles from an existing thrift store located
at 5000 Main Street Suite #270. The applicant's justification for a location closer
than two miles, is that Grace Bridge will operate as a non-profit. In addition, the
applicant claims that donations will be higher at a quality because of the non -profit
status and higher quality construction and racks. Staff found that the closest thrift
store is not registered as a 501(c)(3) in an IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search.
The next nearest thrift store, however, advertises that a percentage of earnings goes
to charities. Grace Bridge Resale is a registered 501(c )(3) with 100% of profits
going to the organization's mission. Grace Bridge Resale will not be exempt from
sales tax nor property tax.
2. A thrift store shall not be the anchor store in a shopping center; it shall be a
minimum of 25 percent smaller in size than the major tenant (Section 10-2500 (2)).
Grace Bridge Resale is proposed within the "Colony Plaza Addition." The anchor
tenant for "Colony Plaza Addition" is Ross Stores. Ross Stores is approximately
29,853 sf and Grace Bridge Resale is proposed at 25,660 sf. The proposed thrift
store does not meet the required percentage and represents approximately 14%
smaller space than the anchor tenant. The applicant justifies the request because
they seek a large area free of clutter. The applicant further cites that the suite only
contains a 17,100 sf sales floor with 3,500 sf of warehousing, and 2,760 sf of
facilities and breakroom. Staff found the sales area of Ross represented in building
permits as 26,026 sf. When comparing sales floors, Grace Bridge Resale's sales
floor is approximately 34% smaller than the Ross sales floor.

3. Drop off points shall be screened with solid screening walls or shrubs that will grow
to a minimum of six feet at maturity, shall be located a minimum of 200 feet from
any residential use and shall remove any donated item s and/or accumulated debris
on a daily basis so that no items are left outside overnight (Section 10-2500 (3)).
Grace Bridge Resale will provide an eighteen (18) foot long, eight (8) foot tall
CMU screen wall in front of the donation area. The screening will create an
approximately 630 sf space for screened drop -off. An existing landscaped berm,
including an additional crape myrtle shrub, will further screen the donation area
from Memorial Drive.
The applicant's narrative indicates that two donation at tendants will cover the drop -
off area from 8 am to 8 pm, Monday thru Saturday, and 12 pm to 4 pm Sunday.
The applicant narrative indicates that the donation area will be monitored 24/7, and
any unsightly will be removed during the nights and weekends.
Specific Use Permit approval is intended to offer further evaluation of certain uses and the
appropriateness of the operation of those uses within the context of the surrounding area. Uses
within the General Retail (GR) district typically include a mix of retail, office, and personal
services. The "Colony Plaza Addition" shopping center and surrounding development contain a
mix of retail, office, and personal services. Adjacent tenants include Ross, Elate Orthodontist,
Popeye's and Relax Foot. Suite 200 was last occupied as a Spirt Halloween Store in 2018. The
retail nature of a thrift store would be consistent with surrounding uses.
The applicant intends to operate Monday to Saturday from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm. The store will be
closed on Sunday's howe ver, the donation area will be staffed Sundays from 12:00 pm until 4:00
pm.

The mission of Grace Bridge is to provide the basic necessities of life to those in need in our local community.
Whether through a box of food, an article of clothing, or a purposeful conversation, we strive to build
relationships that will ultimately lead to life transformation. Grace Bridge is led by a dedicated staff and driven
by committed volunteers, focused on equipping neighbors to help neighbors. As we develop lasting
relationships with individuals and families within our community, our hope is to see those we have once served
return that same help to others. Grace Bridge is made up of five key initiatives:
Food Bank: At our Food Bank, we serve families bimonthly from multip le distribution centers across Collin
and Denton Counties. Our purpose is to focus on serving the “whole-person” by striving to meet not only their
physical needs, but also their emotional and spiritual needs.
Community Development: We are dedicated to serving those within our community beyond a box of food.
We accomplish this by facilitating annual events to meet specific needs. Through our events such as “I Got
Your Back, Wrapped In Love, and Bikes & Bibles”, we are able to support families during the school year and
help to make the holidays special. Additionally, we provide free vision clinics and continue our care for the
health of those we serve through our local organic gardens.
Neighbor-to-Neighbor Disaster Relief: Th is prog ram a llo ws us to walk with families through the aftermath
o f natural disasters and personal catastrophes, giving them hope through difficult situations. We provide
the physical efforts in relocating families, equipping them with cloth ing , fu rn ish ing s, a nd e ssen tials to he lp
them with the reestablishment process.
Community Mobilization: We focus on building a bridge connecting the faith-based community, the school
districts, corporate entities, and local principalities to make a lasting difference in the lives of those we serve.
Since 2011, more than 14,000 volunteers have been engaged in serving communities through our key
initiatives.
Resale Stores: Our multiple resale stores are designed to provide an upscale shopping experience. We are
committed to supplying high -qu a lit y, ne w and g en t ly-u sed clothing and furniture at reasonable prices.
53
Master Cares Foundation
The Master Cares exists to provide the hope that God promises to the poor through aid that goes beyond
traditional means. Our mission is to come alongside the people of Africa as they strive to lift themselves out of
their desperate situation. By giving the people the means by which they can build and develop, we can partner
with them to show them then how to transform communities and future generations. Master Cares is made up of
five key initiatives:
Master Cares Christian School: Master Cares Christian School is a pre-k primary and High School.
The school is specifically designed to train the leaders of the next generation with an education that has
a Biblical worldview and is among the best in the country.
Medical Care: The Rakai district is believed to be the birthplace of HIV/AIDS. In an effort to improve
health care, we have built a hospital with surgical theaters, maternity + delivery wards, and a malnutrition
ward, along with providing the best medical care.
Vocational Training: Our vocational program is broken down into three segments: discipleship, business
classes, and working on the ranch to learn how to farm/care for the animals. We also provide young girls
with tailoring and sewing training.
Water Wells: Over 67% of Ugandans lack access to safe drinking water. Our desire and initiative is to
build water wells every month. Each well provides clean and safe water for a thousand people.
Spiritual Development: Our primary purpose is to impact the spiritual conditions of the people we
interact with through church plans and discipleship.
54
A thrift store must be located a minimum of two miles from another thrift store, measured
door to door.
What differentiates Grace Bridge Resale from the thrift store that is 1.1 miles from the proposed
location for Grace Bridge Resale?
We are an upscale resale store more in line with conventional retail stores. We receive better quality
merchandise because we are a non-profit and people of means prefer to donate to an organization
that uses 100% of its profits to help people locally and globally. The thrift store 1.1 miles away is a for
profit store.
We have a higher quality clothes, household goods, and furniture because of the above reason.
We spend quite a bit more for fixtures (wood paneled) and on communicating about our work by
sharing our story on the walls of the store to distinguish ourselves as more upscale and to
differentiate from a typical thrift store. It is our goal to make this an upscale shopping experience for
shoppers in The Colony.
The typical resale store does not sell quality furniture. We have found most people with quality
furniture prefer to donate it to a non-profit. As a non-profit we receive quite a bit of brand-new articles
of clothing with price tags still in place, to sell to someone looking for a bargain.
The typical resale store does not donate clothes and furniture to those in need following a disaster.
Eighteen (18) semi- trailers of clothes, furniture, cleaning supplies, and building materials were sent
to Houston in 2017, some trailers donated to us were full of new furniture.
During the 2021 snow storm a catastrophic fire took out an entire apartment complex in Frisco. We
partnered with the City of Frisco and local school district to help three single mothers and children
relocate to needed housing. We outfitted their homes with furniture for each room, clothing for the
moms and each child. Additionally, we were able to furnish dishes and silverware for the kitchens. We
also stocked the pantry with food made available from the profits from our resale stores.
It is a key part of our mission to provide these types of resources whether it is from a natural disaster
or personal catastrophe. We are here to help people in their greatest time of need.
Most recently we partnered with a local business that has a national foot print to help their employees
with clothing that lost everything in Hurricane Ida as it impacted families in Louisiana. We are
committed to help neighbors serve our neighbors.
We take the best of the best to help people and sell the rest of the best in our stores.
A thrift store shall not be the anchor store in a shopping center; it shall be a minimum of 25%
smaller in size than the major tenant.
The Colony proposed Grace Bridge Resale store has a total of 25,660 square feet versus the Ross
store with 29,853 sq. ft. The Grace Bridge Resale store is 14.05% smaller than the Ross store.
However, if you look at retail space (sales space) square footage, Ross is approximately 25,160
verses retail space of Grace Bridge Resale (sales space) approximately 17,100 or is 32% less retail
space than Ross (Ross space was measured using an Apple Measurement App for floor space
measurements).
55
Additional information:
We are seeing continued growth in our resale stores and need buildings of 25,000 sq. ft. or more,
like The Colony location. The larger sales floor keeps the stores from being cluttered and crowded.
Our recent revision of The Colony site allows us to have 17,100 sq. ft. sales floor, sorting area of
2,300 sq. ft., warehouse space of 3,500 and a facilities/breakroom area of 2,760 sq. ft. See attached
drawings for entire store layout and for warehouse racking.
Drop off points shall be screened with solid screening walls or shrubs that will grow to a
minimum of 200 feet from any residential use and shall remove any donated items and/or
accumulated debris on a daily basis so that no items are left outside overnight.
We will communicate the drop-off location starting at the front of the store window with a window
graphic decal sign 36 inches by 48 inches directing people to the back of store for the drop-off area.
We use graphic decal signs so they will withstand the sun directly and will last over an extended
period of time without fading. Please see attached copy.
The intake/drop-off area will be on the northside (back) of the building at the Dock Door. We will
utilize a surface mounted Dock Lift with a 6-foot by 10-foot platform. See Site Plan for location.
Also shown on the Site Plan is the proposed concrete block and painted screening wall that will adjoin
the existing wall for the trash compactor corral area. The new wall will be 18 feet long and 8 feet high,
the same height as the current corral wall. Corral will be gated to discourage dumping and closed
when the store is closed. We considered gating the entire intake area, but thought better of it after an
onsite review. If we gate the entire area, people are more likely to dump items where they will be
visible instead of leaving them behind the wall.
Gates for the corral will not open out into the fire lane since the outside gate will be inside next to the
new screening wall.
The new screening wall will have a sign 40 inches by 60 inches and will communicate drop-off
location along with the hours we are open, Monday-Saturday 8 am – 8 pm and Sunday 12 pm – 4 pm
Only.
We will have two intake personnel directing cars and taking donations daily at the dock door from
8:00 AM until 8:00 PM. There will be Enter and Exit Only signs (placed daily) on a 6-foot base
directing cars in the proper direction for entry and exit for the intake area. (See enclosed example).
Please note: No intake items are ever left out overnight by our personnel.
During the 8:00 AM timeframe, we will take care of any items left overnight after we closed, inspect
the eastside of the building where our double doors are located and make sure there is nothing left on
this side of our store or in the area around the shared dumpster leased and used by other tenants.
Additionally, we will check the Ross Store’s area for any items that might be dropped off. We recently
picked up items dropped off by Ross earlier at the end of last month. We will police all areas to the
best of our ability. We cannot put locks on other Republic Services dumpsters, since we are not
sharing the dumpster with another tenant.
Cars will enter the intake coned area from the southside of the building, with the priority lane next to
the building shown in the Site Plan drawing. This will allow for maximum space from the Fire Lane
and we should be able to have up to 5 cars in the intake line. The most cars we have ever had in line
at our busiest store located in Frisco has been 5 to 6 cars.
56
We have shown on the Site Plan drawing, an additional secondary coned lane on the outside of the
primary lane as an alternate lane for an additional 3 cars if for some reason it was ever needed. This
will be coned off unless needed. We are still away from the fire lane as shown on the Site Plan.
Currently, there is an existing wall mounted light fixture above the existing loading dock door area.
Additionally, there is an existing wall mounted light fixture along the southside of the building. For
both light locations, security cameras will be installed to monitor the area 24 hours/7 days a week.
This will also allow our managers to see what is going on after hours. Any unsightly items left will be
removed during the night or on the weekends. All security camera footage will be shared with
authorities for all cases of illegal dumping.
On the site plan, as requested, is the new plant screening that will help block the view of the intake
area on the southside (back) of the building from Memorial Drive. Planting will be serviced by the
current underground irrigation system. Realty Income will have their irrigation company add the
planting and necessary underground line to service the planting. See attached letter of agreement
from Realty Income.
We have been working with The Colony’s provider, Republic Services on a commercial feeder and
trash compactor for our location. There was a trash compactor used by the previous tenant and we
will use the same corral location that was previously created. Also, we will install new locked metal
doors tall enough on the corral to keep people from dumping additional items in the corral area after
hours. Please see attached file for picture of the trash compactor.
We will schedule pickups with Republic Services for the trash compactor and ask for a call- ahead
before they arrive. By calling ahead and knowing roughly when the scheduled pick-up will occur, we
will not do intake during the arrival or emptying of the trash compactor. Normally for large
compactors, Republic Services empties these locations early in the morning (6:30 AM to 8:00 AM) to
avoid any issues with dock door deliveries or for our intake area.
Is Grace Bridge Resale compatible with adjacent property use and consistent with the
neighborhoods character and compatible with the SH 121 Corridor Zone?
Many conventional retailers (Macy’s and Wal-Mart) are testing a resale department in their stores
because more and more people are looking for value items at a bargain. Many shoppers view Resale
Store shopping as recreational treasure hunting. (source-BrandonGaille/Thrift store statistics).
According to “The Shelf,” 65% of resale shoppers say they spend the savings they receive by
avoiding the cost of new retail by splurging on experiences with their families and friends. This seems
to be compatible and supports the recreational and entertainment aspect The Colony is planning for
this Corridor Zone.
Please find enclosed a copy of the 32 Thrift Store Industry Statistics and Trends – BrandonGaille to
help explain how this industry is changing and why traditional retail stores or business communities
can’t ignore the trends. See attachment copy.
We believe our motives and the desires for our store in The Colony are in line for the corridor with the
City’s vision. We would be proud to be a part of the growth of this corridor and would work hard for
you to recognize the difference of Grace Bridge Resale and the typical for-profit thrift store.

PROPOSAL AND CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
1.1 Defined Terms
The term "Bidder or Contractor" means one who submits a Proposal directly to OWNER, as distinct from a sub-
bidder, who submits a proposal to a Bidder. The term "Successful Bidder" means the lowest, qualified, responsible
Bidder to whom the OWNER (on the basis of the Owner's evaluation as hereinafter provided) makes an award. The
term "Bidding Documents" includes the Notice to Bidders, Instructions to Bidders, the Bid Form, and the proposed
Contract Documents (including all Addenda issued prior to receipt of proposals). Specific defined terms are:
Owner: Wherever the word "OWNER" is used in the specifications and Contract Documents, it shall be understood
as referring to the City of The Colony, Texas.
1.2 Description
The City is seeking proposals from qualified individuals, firms, partnerships, and corporations having specific
experience in the area(s) of detention center or jail control integrated systems and interested in providing complete
installation, training and on-going support services to the City.
The City desires to replace its current Jail Control System (JCS) in its Police Department with a new state of the art
system. The JCS must have the capability to control the doors, intercoms, and cameras that will integrate with the
current components in the jail and dispatch area and video recording solution including but not limited to hardware,
software, and maintenance. The City and the successful respondent are expected to enter into a contract to install,
upgrade, train, support and maintain the JCS, as well as a separate five (5) year maintenance agreement post-
software and hardware installation maintenance of the Jail Control System.
The requirements below are intended to give general guidelines or parameters for what the City will require. It is
encouraged that respondents provide additional features and options that are available. The respondent's technical
proposal presented should address the requirements below, as well as explain and/or describe any additional
features, options, and/or benefits.
1.3 Existing Environment
The existing JCS is original to the building, built in 2010, and has not been updated substantively since that time.
The existing JCS is controlled by a Wonderware software system running on multiple servers/desktop PCs which
is responsible for doors, intercoms, and jail cell lighting controls. The JCS is integrated with cameras that will have
camera call up views integrated with each designated door lock. There are two JCS terminals located in the Police
Department. The reliable operation of this system is critical to the safety of officers and detainees within the City’s
jail operations.
Current cameras are analog that no longer provide proper quality of images. This issue leads to a current
configuration that is not sustainable. Where possible, the existing digital cameras will be used as the replacement.
Terms and Conditions 1-2

a conflict between contract documents, the provision more favorable to the City shall prevail.
