CITY COUNCIL Agenda Item Report
Meeting Date: May 5, 2026
Submitted By: Ana Alvarado
Submitting Department: Police
Item Type: Resolution
Agenda Section: consent agenda
Suggested Action:
Consider approving a resolution authorizing the City Manager to apply for the FY27 Motor Vehicle Crime
Prevention Authority Grant through the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles in an amount not to exceed
$550,000.00. (Foxall)
Background:
In FY 2025-2026, the department was awarded funding through the Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention
Authority (MVCPA) Grant to implement a Flock Drone as a First Responder (DFR) program. Although
still in the early stages of deployment, the program has already proven to be a valuable tool in enhancing
response capabilities, improving situational awareness, and supporting efforts to locate stolen vehicles
and suspects. For the FY 2026-2027 grant cycle, the department is seeking authorization to apply for
continued MVCPA funding to sustain and expand these efforts. The proposed application includes
continued funding for the DFR program in the amount of $300,000. Additionally, the department has
successfully implemented catalytic converter etching initiatives using previously awarded grant funds,
resulting in several well-attended and effective community events. Building on this success, the
department will partner with the Northern Collin/Denton County Auto Theft Task Force to support mobile
etching operations throughout the region. To facilitate this effort, the department is requesting funding for
a mobile etching command trailer in the amount of $226,702. Additional requested items include two
catalytic converter etching laser systems totaling $8,000, as well as $3,700 for training and travel directly
related to MVCPA program requirements. The total proposed program cost is $538,402. Of that amount,
MVCPA is expected to reimburse $448,668, resulting in a net cost to the City of $89,734. Staff
recommends approval of the resolution authorizing the City Manager to apply for the FY 2026-2027
MVCPA Grant.

Page 3 of 8
Law Enforcement, Detection, and Apprehension - provide financial assistance to support law enforcement agencies for
economic motor vehicle theft, including, but not limited to, theft of a catalytic converter attached to a motor vehicle, and
fraud-related motor vehicle crime enforcement teams (referred to as taskforces). Taskforces will develop organized
methods to combat economic motor vehicle theft, including, but not limited to, theft of a catalytic converter attached to
a motor vehicle, burglary of a motor vehicle and fraud-related motor vehicle crime through the enforcement of law.
This may include recovery of vehicles, clearance of cases, arrest of law violators, and disruption of organized motor
vehicle crime. This category includes the development of uniform programs to prevent stolen motor vehicles and stolen
catalytic converters from entering Mexico or being removed from Texas through outbound seaports.
Prosecution/Adjudication/Conviction - provide financial support for taskforces to work with prosecutors and the
judiciary to implement programs designed to reduce the incidence of catalytic converter theft.
Prevention, Anti-Theft Devices and Automobile Registration - provide financial support for taskforces to work with
organizations and communities to reduce the incidence of catalytic converter theft. The application shall demonstrate
how financial support will assist motor vehicle owners to reduce catalytic converter theft.
Reduction of the Sale of Stolen Vehicles or Parts - provide financial support for taskforces to work with businesses,
organizations, and communities to reduce the sale of catalytic converters. Applicants will develop organized methods to
combat the sale of stolen catalytic converters using any of the following: vehicle identification number (VIN) inspections;
inspections of motor vehicle part and component distribution enterprises; parts labeling and etching methods; and
means to detect the fraudulent sale of stolen catalytic converters.
Educational Programs and Marketing - provide financial support for taskforces to work with individuals, businesses,
organizations, and communities to assist motor vehicle owners in detecting and preventing catalytic converter theft.
Develop and provide specialized training or education program(s) to the public on detecting and preventing catalytic
converter theft, law enforcement on interdiction and prosecution, and government officials on detecting and preventing
catalytic converter theft in this state.
Priority Funding
The MVCPA enabling statute provides that “The authority shall allocate grant funds primarily based on the number of
motor vehicles stolen in, or the motor vehicle burglary or theft rate across, and the number of fraud-related motor
vehicle crimes committed in the state rather than based on geographic distribution.” (Tex. Transp. Code §1006.151(c); SB
224). In addition, the following grant features will be given priority consideration in evaluating new grant applications:
Continuing Funded Programs in Compliance with MVCPA Grant Conditions - Applications that provide for the
continuation of existing programs that currently meet the program and fiscal reporting conditions of the MVCPA grant
program. Applicants must provide the ongoing need and their progress and impactful performance toward detecting and
preventing catalytic converter theft. The applicant must describe the experience and qualifications of investigators used
in the program and how utilization of grant inventory and resources for continued operation of these specialized
investigative grant programs are useful for state and local governments.
Programs to Combat Organized Catalytic Converter Crime - Applications for detecting and preventing catalytic converter
theft enforcement teams that introduce, increase, or expand efforts to detect and prevent theft of catalytic converters by
organized crime.
23
Page 4 of 8
Border and Port Security - Applications that provide specific initiatives to identify and prevent stolen catalytic converters
from crossing the border with Mexico using automatic license plate readers, training of local state and federal personnel
in the identification of stolen vehicles, and bridge and port inspections.
Use of Technology - Applications that incorporate automatic license plate reader programs, surveillance equipment, and
other uses of technology to increase the number of stolen catalytic converters recovered and the number of persons
arrested for catalytic converter crimes.
Theft of Parts from a Motor Vehicle - Applications that incorporate a reasonable, objective plan to combat and prevent
the theft of catalytic converters.
Dedicated Prosecutors - Applications that incorporate a dedicated prosecutor to increase the priority of catalytic
converter theft prosecutions and decrease the number of repeat offenders through successful and timely prosecution
efforts.
Supporting Documents
Documents that provide evidence of local support or commitment from other officials or agencies for the application
may be submitted following the same instructions as the Resolution. Interagency agreements shall be submitted prior to
payments being authorized if an award is made. MVCPA recommends that interagency agreements be completed after
award determinations are made to ensure correct amounts are reflected in those agreements. All interagency
agreements must meet the conditions and elements required in the TxGMS.
Supplanting Prohibited
Grant funds provided by the Authority under this RFA shall not be used to supplant federal, state or local funds that
otherwise would be available for the same purposes (43 Texas Administrative Code §57.9). Supplanting means the
replacement of other funds with MVCPA grant funds. This shall include using existing resources already available to a
program activity as cash match.
Cash Match Requirement
All applications for programs must provide at least a twenty (20%) percent cash match (Texas Administrative Code Title
43 §57.36). Multijurisdictional agencies must provide details for the method of cash match in intergovernmental
agreements (Texas Government Code, Chapter 791). Cash match must meet the requirements provided in TxGMS.
Formulas to calculate cash match:
1. Total MVCPA grant funds requested multiplied by percentage of match required = Total Amount of Cash Match
Required
2. Total Program Cost minus Total Cash Match Required = Total Authority Grant Request
NICB in Lieu of Cash - Applicants may enter into formal agreements with the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) to
work on grant funded activities. The amount of salary and other direct costs related to the work on grant activity
provided by the NICB may be counted and reported as in lieu of cash match. Time certifications are required to be made
by the employee for these positions as required by TXGMS. Applicants must meet the obligation expressed as cash match
in the event NICB cannot meet its obligation.
In-Kind Match
Only include in-kind match if necessary for the local jurisdiction. In-kind match may be used to: 1) reflect the total level
of jurisdictions’ effort/costs to combat catalytic converter theft; 2) reflect how the grant program fits into jurisdictions’
24
Page 5 of 8
operation; 3) effectively operate a single program with multiple funding streams; and/or 4) contributions from the
applicant or third parties that are for grant funded activity. Costs in detail line items shall not be split between in-kind
match and grant funding. For example, the entire salary of an officer shall be placed in one expense type rather than split
between grant and in-kind.
Reporting and Webinar Attendance Requirements
Applicants that are awarded grants will be required to provide:
• Quarterly Progress Reports - The MVCPA requires the submission of quarterly progress reports to demonstrate
progress toward meeting goals and activities provided in the grant application. These include: 1) Monthly
progress toward meeting statutorily required performance measures; 2) Monthly progress recorded on the
Goals, Strategies and Activities report; and 3) Quarterly Summary and Success section. Grantees designated as
Border/Port Security grants are required to complete additional sections required by the Texas Legislature.
• Quarterly Financial Reports - Reports of actual expenses incurred are required to request funds. All
expenditures must be in accordance with local policies and procedures and grant requirements. Grantees shall
review all expenditures, ensure all applicable regulations are followed, and maintain documentation that is
accurate and complete. All expenses must be supported by appropriate documentation.
• Microsoft Teams Attendance: One grant representative from the applicant agency is required to attend a
monthly session via Teams that includes information on MVCPA grant administration. One law enforcement
officer is also required to attend the monthly information sharing and networking sessions on law enforcement
issues and other MVCPA issues critical to the successful operation of MVCPA taskforces.

sections is at the sole discretion of the Authority.
i. Questions and Clarification - During the review period, the applicant may be contacted by Authority staff to ask
questions or to seek clarification regarding information provided in the application. Failure to promptly respond
will not disqualify an applicant, but information that is submitted after the review period may not be considered.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
AGENDA DATE: May 5, 2026 Continued from April 21, 2026
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Development Department
SUBJECT – PD26-0001, Colony Commerce Center Planned Development 31 (PD31)
Conduct a public hearing, discuss and consider an ordinance regarding a zoning change from
Planned Development 10 (PD-10) to Planned Development 31 (PD-31) to establish the conceptual
layout and development standards for a mixed commercial development. The subject site contains
approximately 71.72 acres and is located north of the northwest intersection of Plano Parkway and
Windhaven Parkway within the Planned Development-10 (PD-10) zoning district.
APPLICANT/OWNER
Owner: Lonzar Delaware, Inc Dallas, TX
Applicant: Tyler Riek
Hinds Industrial Dallas, TX
EXISTING CONDITION OF PROPERTY
The subject site is currently an approximately 72-acre tract of undeveloped land.
ADJACENT ZONING AND LAND USE
North - Planned Development-22 (PD-22) Mixed Commercial and Warehouse
South - Planned Development-22 (PD-22) Mixed Commercial and Warehouse
East- Planned Development-25 Mixed Commercial
West- City of Lewisville
BACKGROUND
The subject site was previously part of a larger nearly 400-acre area of land situated north of
Windhaven Parkway and on either side of Plano Parkway. Originally zoned Agricultural upon
annexation into the City, the subject site was rezoned from Agricultural zoning to Planned
Development 10 in 1985; the original base zoning district for PD-10 was Business Park (BP) and
Multi-Family (MF).
Portions of this acreage were combined with others (PD 10, PD 12, and PD 13) to create the Austin
Ranch development (Planned Development-22). PD-10 as currently configured consists of the
acreage (approximately 82 acres) not included in land dedicated to creating Austin Ranch.
The 72 acres of the subject site has remained undeveloped and has maintained agricultural
characteristics since annexation.
The land use entitlements for Planned Development 10 (specifically the subject site) reflect
remnants of previously planned mixed-use development. However, when portions of PD-10 were
combined with PD 12 and PD 13, those entitlements no longer had the areal context to support
development. An update or re-creation of the development and land use standards would be critical
to development of the tract.
32
PROPOSED REQUEST
The applicants request amends the zoning on approximately 72 acres within the existing Planned
Development-10 (PD-10). The request provides a conceptual plan and development standards to
address permitted land uses within the development, the configuration of buildings, buffering,
parking, landscaping and establish the phasing and timing of infrastructure and utilities. The
proposed conceptual development plans reflect the overall development intents prior to the more
detailed Site Plan review; Site Plan is required prior to any development commencement in whole
or in part.
LAND USE ANALYSIS
The subject site is located in an area of the City that contains the mixed entertainment elements of
Grandscape, office commercial and the mixed residential offerings of Austin Ranch. The City’s
Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as “Regional Mixed-Use Destination” and characterizes it
as a place that
“Provides regional employment and shopping centers serving both residents of The Colony
and a wider regional audience. They may include a rich mix of business, commercial, office,
retail, entertainment, production, storage, hotel/hospitality, and higher-density residential
uses.
And also
“These places are expected to contribute significantly to The Colony’s tax base, job market,
and community quality of life and thereby enhance the City’s economic vitality.”
The request is more consistent with the existing office warehouse development to the north and
northeast, than the entertainment and retail associated with the Grandscape development. However,
the proposed development fits within the context of the Comprehensive Plan’s characterization of
the site.
The applicant has provided a curated list of permitted land uses, and conceptual development
standards intended to highlight compatibility with the surrounding area, and the goals and strategies
of the future development of the City.
The following reflect the proposed development standards:
SECTION I

Chair Hames read Discussion Item 5.2 into record.
Ms. Ducay presented the staff report.
Commissioner Cox asked about the poles and whether they were lights.
Ms. Ducay responded that the poles were for the devices themselves but there were lights installed in them as
well.
Commissioner Cox asked if that would also be driving the internet and connectivity for the devices.
Ms. Ducay responded that she would have to have the applicant address the specifics of the use of the
devices.
Commissioner Cox stated that he wasn’t concerned, just curious.
Commissioner Cox made a motion to approve item 5.2, seconded by Commissioner Flo.
The motion carried (7-0).

Chair Hames read Agenda item 4.1 into record.
Mr. Williams presented the staff report.
Commissioner Snider asked if a traffic study was required for the request.
Mr. Williams responded that staff has requested that the applicant take a look at the traffic in the area.
Commissioner Cox mentioned that this isn’t just a zoning case, that it is also a building standards case.
He asked about the land uses specific to the PD proposed versus what it was prior.
Mr. Williams responded that the PD being proposed would not allow of any multi-family use. He added that
PD-10 did have some allowances for multi-family but the development standards would not really allow for
the development of such use.
Commissioner Cox stated that he just wanted to be sure that land use and any entitlements were clear.
He also added that he was concerned that we were not requiring screening on Plano Pkwy for any trash
receptacles because that was the entrance to Grandscape, which is important to the City.
Mr. Williams clarified that the PD did include screening off Plano Pkwy.
Commissioner Cox reiterated that he believed it was important for that screening, especially when you got
into industrial-type zones because of the different types of waste that could be produced.
Commissioner Baran stated that the proposed PD was the connective tissue for PD-22 and PD-25 and it was
important that the landscaping and screening standard we hold in the City were consistent along Plano Pkwy.
Chair Hames opened public hearing at 6:58 pm.
Mr. Tyler Riek, the applicant of the project approached the mic.
Mr. Riek offered a presentation on the proposed project to the Commissioners.
Commissioner Cox asked Mr. Riek if he would be okay with the Planning and Zoning Commission requiring
that all of the property, not just the PD, had the same screening standards as the rest of the City.
Mr. Riek responded in the affirmative.
Commissioner Cox asked if drone logistics were allowed in this land use.
Mr. Williams responded that drone usage is regulated by the FAA so we don’t have a land use that would
accommodate or prohibit such use so in theory, they would be allowed. He added that we did require an SUP
(specific use permit) for the landing pads in case of such use.
Commissioner Cox added that he had no issue with it, he was just curious.
Commissioner Baran asked about the discussions with the surrounding property owners.
4.0 PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS
4.1 PD26-0001 – Colony Commerce Center Planned Development 31 (PD-31)
Conduct a public hearing, discuss and consider making a recommendation to City
Council regarding a zoning change from Planned Development 10 (PD-10) to Planned
Development 31 (PD-31) to establish the conceptual layout and development standards
for a mixed commercial development. The subject site contains approximately 71.72
acres and is located north of the northwest intersection of Plano Parkway and
Windhaven Parkway within the Planned Development-10 (PD-10) zoning district.

Mr. Riek replied that there is a mutual easement access for the driveway in question [N side].
Commissioner Baran asked if the conversation had been had with the neighbors.
Mr. Riek stated that they had not had a discussion specific to the driveway in question.
He provided further clarification on the easements surrounding the property.
Commissioner Baran asked if they had a discussion with the owners of the Billingsley property regarding the
screening.
Mr. Riek responded in the affirmative and added that it is already included in the plans that were submitted.
Commissioner Baran asked Mr. Riek if he’d be open to placing landscaping and a meandering sidewalk
along Plano Pkwy.
Mr. Riek responded that he wasn’t sure that there was a sidewalk currently there but he’d look into it.
Commissioner Baran asked about detention and whether it was needed on the property.
Mr. Riek replied that the site falls north to south and it’s roughly 5 acres so from an engineering perspective
that was the best location.
Commissioner Baran asked if it was a dry pond.
Mr. Riek responded in the affirmative.
Commissioner Baran asked if they had placed any thought in how they would landscape that area.
Mr. Riek replied that it would be sod or seed.
Commissioner Cox asked Mr. Willaims if the development standards would include what the typical
landscaping requirements were.
Mr. Williams responded in the affirmative. He added that the concept of them are included, but if they had
anything specific, they were requesting, they would add it at this time.
Commissioner Cox stated that he just wanted to be sure that it followed the development standards for our
Gateway.
Mr. Williams responded that the location proposed does not fall into our Gateway Overlay District but that
the PD would have its own development standards or be supplemented by the City Ordinances if the PD
standards were silent.
Mr. Henry Billingley, a representative of the neighboring property, approached the mic.
He described the history of the property and stated his opposition to the proposed development.
Mr. Bill Walker, a representative for the neighboring property, approached the mic.
He stated that he was an engineer and that some of the details of the project made him nervous.
Mr. Dan Gallagher, a representative of the project proposed, approached the mic.
He added that the detention and other engineering specifics were not relevant to the zoning request. He stated
that the team had already conducted preliminary grading but had not yet submitted it to the City since the PD
had to be approved first. He further added that him and his team had done much more work than they
currently would for a zoning case and had conducted multiple studies to ensure they were prepared.
Chair Hames closed public hearing at 7:31pm.

The applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 71.86 acres along Plano Parkway (the
“Property”) to a new Planned Development District that will accommodate a mix of warehouse,
office, and light industrial uses. Although the Property is near major mixed-use destinations such
as Grandscape and Austin Ranch, it is physically and functionally oriented toward the existing
commercial and warehouse development along Plano Parkway and the Sam Rayburn Tollway
corridor.
The proposed zoning is intended to create an employment area that fits well with its
surroundings rather than competing with nearby retail, residential, and entertainment uses. The
project is expected to bring quality jobs, increase daytime population, and support nearby
businesses. This approach is consistent with the City of The Colony’s Comprehensive Plan
Strategy 6A, which encourages employment centers along major transportation corridors and
identifies Plano Parkway as a leading business and employment corridor.
The Planned Development allows for a carefully selected set of permitted uses, focusing on
modern logistics, light manufacturing, research and development, and corporate
warehouse/office operations. More intense industrial activities are not permitted, helping to
ensure compatibility with adjacent commercial and mixed-use districts. The selected uses are
intended to attract high-quality tenants, promote skilled job creation, and remain a good
long-term fit for the area.
The project will be built as a Class A flexible warehouse campus with approximately one million
square feet across six buildings, designed as a unified, master-planned business park representing
more than $175 million in private investment within The Colony. The multi-building layout
supports a diverse tenant mix—including regional distribution, e-commerce logistics, and light
manufacturing—while maintaining architectural consistency and a unified campus character.
The design emphasizes a modern, high-quality business park featuring upgraded architectural
standards, enhanced landscaping, strong internal connectivity, and strategically placed access
points. The site plan prioritizes efficient traffic circulation, thoughtful building placement, and
buffering that minimizes impacts to surrounding properties while ensuring safe and functional
truck and employee access.
Overall, the project is expected to serve as a long-term economic asset for The Colony by
generating substantial employment, contributing significant property and sales tax revenue, and
requiring minimal public services.
