Agenda Section:
Subject:
Discuss and receive input on proposed revisions to The Colony's short-term rental ordinance. (Perez)
Suggested Action:
The attached document is a more refined list of the changes we are proposing to the STR ordinance. Based
off of your input from the last workshop on this item, there are a few sections of the draft revisions that I would
like to receive further clarification/direction on and those are: What approach we want to incorporate on the
parking requirements i.e. limit it to what is available on the property for off street parking, or as a ratio as is
found in Arlington’s and this draft that is a ration of two cars to each bedroom of the house. Jeff should also
have some additional information on how we approach the minimum stay requirement and the minimum age
requirement of 25.
The last issue we would like to clarify from Council and Jeff is on the question of establishing a zoning use
and/or designating certain areas of the city where STR’s can operate, etc. Staff has a few suggestions on how
to approach this if Council should desire to do so and we will share those with you all at the 12/5 meeting.

TO:Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM:Jeffrey L. Moore, City Attorney
DATE:November 20, 2023
RE:Nationwide PFAS Class Action Lawsuits
The City has been notified that it may wish to participate in the settlement of two (2)
nationwide class action lawsuits regarding PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) in water
treatment systems. PFAS, known as a “forever chemical,” is a family of man-made, toxic chemicals
encompassing hundreds of compounds, including perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and
perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). PFOS and PFOA are also the primary components of AFFF
(firefighting foam), which is used to extinguish fuel fires. These substances are easily dissolved in
water, which increases their mobility and the ease with which they spread into the environment,
contaminating soil, and leaching into groundwater and aquifers.
Given the toxicity and persistence of these chemicals, any amount found in groundwater or
drinking water is likely to be deemed unacceptable by regulatory agencies; this may involve the costly
installation of treatment systems or modifying existing systems. The EPA will likely release its initial
recommended maximum contaminant level (MCL) in the coming months for PFOS and PFOA; the
MCL will likely be very low. Once the EPA (or a state regulatory body such as the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality) establishes this MCL, cities and water providers will have
the financial responsibility to treat their water below the MCL. It is anticipated that this will likely
be costly and take time to implement.
A multitude of lawsuits were filed against 3M and DuPont for designing, manufacturing,
marketing, selling, and supplying PFAS. The various lawsuits were consolidated into a class action
and in June 2023, the parties announced they had reached settlement agreements that would provide
public water suppliers with up to $14 billion over 13 years to test and treat for PFAS contamination.
The 3M settlement will pay plaintiffs between $10-$12.5 billion and the DuPont settlement will pay
plaintiffs between $1-$2 billion. Virtually every public water system in the nation was (presumably)
sent notice of the lawsuits (The Colony was recently provided notice) and has been given the option
to participate in the settlements or to “opt out” of the settlements. Public water systems must file
notice with the court which option they choose. It is clear that if a municipality, such as The Colony,
receives its water from another entity it will receive no settlement proceeds.
Since water is provided to the City by Dallas and North Texas Municipal Water District
(“NTMWD”), Dallas and NTMWD has suggested that its member cities opt out of the settlements.
Similar suggestions have been made by the other large water providers in North Texas, the City of
Dallas, City of Forth Worth, and the North Texas Municipal Water District (“NTMWD”), for their
156
Memorandum to Honorable Mayor and City Council
November 20, 2023
Page 2
customers—the court also has made clear that a municipality like The Colony cannot recover
settlement proceeds as well as Dallas and NTMWD because that would be considered a double
recovery.
Since it is extremely unlikely that The Colony would receive any settlement proceeds, and in
cooperation with our regional partners, City of Dallas and NTMWD, it is both my and City staff’s
recommendation that the City opt out of the settlements. The “opt out” decision must be filed with
the court on or before December 4 for the DuPont lawsuit and on or before December 11 for the 3M
lawsuit. It is my understanding that virtually all municipalities in this region are opting out and
therefore, any settlement proceeds would be distributed to the respective water treatment provider,
Dallas and NTMWD (or Fort Worth). To opt out, it will be necessary for Troy to execute affidavits
opting out on behalf of the City, and then send the “opt out” affidavits to the court and parties. If this
is agreeable to the City Council, the following motion would authorize Troy to promptly notify the
court of the City’s decision to opt out:
Proposed Motion: I move to authorize the City Manager to execute on behalf of the
City affidavits opting out of the PFAS class actions relative to 3M and DuPont, and to take
all other actions incident and related thereto.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at the office
(214/747-6109).
Thank you!

Staff Analysis
Land Use Analysis
The applicant proposes the development of an indoor adventure facility within an approximately
88,000 square-foot building designed for floor to ceiling interactive, explorable and observable
space. The applicant indicates the facility will provide “15 proven adventure activities” including
rock form scaling, ice form scaling, [water] diving and exploration. The site will also provide
various food and beverage offerings.
The majority of services and activities will occur within the building; the overall scale of the
building is intended to accommodate the multiple activities within the structure.
Elevations
The elevation plan reflects a modern aesthetic with elevations consisting predominately of metal
panel, brick/masonry and accented materials and colors. The color palette mainly consists of black,
blue, and gray. The color selection and percentages are consistent with other projects within the
overall development. Each façade contains horizontal and vertical articulations, fenestration and
color change to offer visual interest in accordance with the overall development. Specific aesthetic
value is added to the eastern elevation that includes texturing and shading.
Circulation and Parking
The subject site is mostly developed with an existing parking field and circulation. The parking is
shared with the other development within the unified development site. Access to the parking field
is provided from South Colony Blvd and SH 121, where multiple access points are established.

The landscape plan reflects the planting of various canopy trees, small ornamental trees, shrubs,
and ground cover throughout the development site. Specifically along the perimeters of the subject
development area. The majority of additional plantings will occur along the perimeter of the
building and along the frontage of South Colony Blvd. The site plan reflects all other plantings are
provided as part of the larger established commercial complex, including those plantings within the
parking area and within buffers.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE (DRC) REVIEW
The Development Review Committee (DRC) finds the proposed development reflected in the

Staff Analysis
Land Use Analysis
The subject site is located within the Shopping Center (SC) Zoning District. The Zoning
Ordinance requires a Specific Use Permit for A/C and Heating Shop use with outside storage.
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 Shopping Center (SC) Zoning District typically include a mix of retail, office and
personal services. A review of nearby existing uses in the Shopping Center (SC) Zoning District
was found to include a mix of retail and services. Nearby retail uses in the SC Zoning District
include, restaurants, retail stores, health studio, personal services, and churches. The proposed
A/C and Heating Shop with outside storage use is not anticipated to conflict with surrounding
established uses as long as the outside storage is well maintained within a screened enclosure.
Specific Use Permit (SUP) Criteria
In accordance with Section 10-905 (Special Use Permits - Approval Criteria) of the Zoning
Ordinance, the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council shall review and evaluate a
Specific Use Permit application using the following criteria:

3.Compatibility with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites, in terms of building
height, build and scale, setbacks on open spaces, landscaping and site development,
access and circulation features, architectural compatibility;
The proposed A/C and Heating Shop with outside storage use is compatible with the
approved uses on abutting sites. The area surrounding the subject site are mainly retail,
churches, and service businesses. The establishment is within the rear portion of a
building that is only access by mutual drive. The overall operations are not visibly
apparent due to the internal orientation of the business which is screened by the adjacent
207
3
buildings; no operations are readily visible from South Colony Drive. The lot
configuration provides additional mitigation of the proposed use.
4.Safety and convenience of vehicular and pedestrian circulation in the vicinity,
including traffic reasonably expected to be generated by the proposed use and other
uses reasonable and anticipated in the area, existing zoning and land uses in the area;
The site layout for the subject site has been reviewed and has been previously approved by
the City, which meets traffic circulation and associated requirements.
5.Protection of persons and property from erosion, flood, or water damage, fire, noise,
glare, air quality, generation of dust and odors, and similar hazards and impacts;
The subject site was developed in accordance with the applicable regulations at the time
of construction.
6.Location, lighting and type of signs; the relation of signs to traffic control and
adverse effect of signs on adjacent properties;
All existing lighting will remain as previously approved. Building signage was approved
in January 18, 2023. No adverse effect of signs on adjacent properties has been found.
7.Adequacy and convenience of off-street parking and loading facilities;
The subject site meets the Zoning Ordinance requirements for off-street parking.
8.Determination that the proposed use and site development, together with any
modifications applicable thereto, will be compatible with existing or permitted uses in
the vicinity;
Developments within Shopping Center (SC) Zoning District generally consist of
commercial activities.The proposed development of an A/C and Heating Shop with
outside storage, is consistent with the intended uses for Shopping Center (SC) Zoning
District and compatible with the surrounding land uses within the vicinity.
9.Determination that any conditions applicable to approval are the minimum necessary
to minimize potentially unfavorable impacts on nearby uses in the same district and
surrounding area
The proposed use as requested is not anticipated to create any unfavorable impacts on
nearby uses in the same district and surrounding area if the outside storage is kept within
the required screened enclosure.
10.Determination that the proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto,
will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of materially injurious
to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
The proposed use is not anticipated to be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare.

Narrative for Specific Use Permit for 4805 S. Colony Blvd, The Colony
Texas:
Colony Air Conditioning & Heating seeks a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for the operation of our
A/C and Heating shop located at 4805 S. Colony Blvd. in The Colony. Colony Air Conditioning
& Heating has been operating since 1977 in the City of The Colony. We are one of The
Colony's oldest businesses and one of even fewer who are still operated by the original owner.
We have moved 99% of our operations to an existing building at 4805 S. Colony Blvd. We are
leasing this location from land/building owner, Khalil R. Khalil (also known as Ray Khalil).
The purpose for seeking a Specific Use Permit is to allow this type of business ( plumbing,
electrical, a/c, heating shop (outside storage) to operate in the Shopping Center District located
at 4805 S. Colony Blvd.
The location of 4805 S. Colony Blvd. is the subject of this SUP.
Land Use Description: Code 196: A/C, heating shops (outside storage)
Existing Zoning is designated as SC (shopping center) even though this property is not in a
shopping center. It is a standalone building.
Hours of Operation: 8:00-5:00pm Monday - Friday and 9-12pm Saturday, Closed on Sunday
Justification for this request: 1) the property from street view is unchanged, except for our
company name on the existing monument sign. 2) All service vehicles park in the back of the building
when at the office and are therefore hidden from view from drivers on S. Colony Blvd.. 3) Most of each
day, nearly all employee vehicles are gone performing remote services in The Colony and surrounding
cities. 4) We need one (1) exterior storage space of a size approximate to 24 wide x 35' long x 7' tall
enclosure with a metal gate to temporarily contain old hvac equipment until the recycler removes it three
or four times per week. The hvac components would be in this storage enclosure for approximately 24
hours up to 48 hours and would then be repeatedly replaced by different hvac components on a rotating
basis of first in, last out. 5) The enclosure will keep the back of the building looking nice, neat, and tidy
(even though it is out of view already). 6) the property is already compatible with adjacent property use
and consistent with the character of the neighborhood. Our business will not disturb this. The property is
bounded by a creekbed, vacant land, and by the backside of the shopping center containing Aaron's and
Texas Family Gym. 7) the existence of an outside storage space will not generate any additional noise
level beyond use of a truck's lift gate to lift and lower used equipment.
Regarding the enclosure, Colony Air Conditioning & Heating or others will not engage in any
disassembly of equipment onsite
Enclosure is designed to hold used hvac equipment until recycling pickup which will occur according to
the following time table approximately: Spring/Summer 3-4 times per week; Autumn 2-3 times per
week; Winter 2-3 times per week. The goal being that the equipment will not be stacked higher than 7
feet.
The enclosure is designed to hold the used hvac equipment and any other storage items so that no
items are stored outdoors outside of the enclosure.
The existence of Colony Air Conditioning & Heating at 4805 S. Colony Blvd. is compatible with existing
or permitted uses on abutting sites, in terms of building height, bulk, and scale, setbacks and open
spaces landscaping and site development, access and circulation features, architectural compatibility as
nothing has changed upon our leasing of the building.
There are not any unfavorable effects or impacts on other existing or permitted uses on abutting sites, to
the extent that such impacts exceed those which reasonably may result from use of the site for the
permitted use.
There are no modifications to the site plan which would result in increased compatibility, would mitigate
potentially unfavorable impacts, would be necessary to conform to applicable regulations and standards
and would protect the public health, safety, mo rals and general welfare.
There are no changes to the safety and convenience of vehicular and pedestrian circulation in the
vicinity, including traffic reasonably expected to be generated by our use of the proposed areas and
211
other uses reasonable and anticipated in the area, existing zoning and land uses in the area. Our office
does not receive many walk -in customers, so there would be little to no additional vehicular use except
for our employees.
The exterior of the building has not changed with our move to this location. The location of signs, lighting
and the relation of signs to traffic control has not changed.
The off-street parking and loading facilities are sufficient and have not changed with our move to this
location.
The proposed use of this location is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning regulations and the
purpose of the zoning district in which the site is located.
The proposed use of this location will be compatible with existing or permitted uses in the vicinity.
The proposed use of this location will not impose any unfavorable impacts on nearby uses in the same
district and the surround area.
The proposed use of this location will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or
materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
