Meeting #21 – January 24, 2019 Page 4
• Permitted in over 10 cities - Plano, Frisco, Fort Worth, Irving & California
• Permit process, chapter 5707 of International Fire Code
• Southlake Fire Chief is on board; however, he wanted us to speak at P&Z and
City Council
Questions for applicant by the Committee:
Chad Patton: Do you plan to give discounted rates for Sabre employees?
Applicant: No discounts; the gas amount will be based on market price from
surrounding gas stations. Gas delivery allows the customer to avoid going to the gas
station. Booster guarantees gas delivery by 4:30 PM.
Chad Patton: Is Booster service only conducted on business campuses?
Applicant: Yes, we only service on corporate campuses; but we also do overnight fleet
business.
Chad Patton: Does the company designate parking spots for service delivery?
Applicant: Depends on the campus size. At Sabre campus we would service on the
opening surface parking lot only.
Daniel Kubiak: What are our options for this case? Is this allowed right now in our
zoning?
Ken Baker: Current ordinance does not allow this type of activity; it triggers outdoor
sales and services. Our first decision point is if this type of service is something that
Corridor Committee, P&Z and City Council would want to see.
If the answer is yes, we have 3 ways the applicant can conduct business:
1. Rezone Sabre Campus to allow outdoor sales and services:
1. By-right OR;
2. By SUP – for Sabre campus only
2. Zoning Text Amendment (broader approach) – for outdoor sales and services
add O-1 and O-2 districts
As the economy evolves, we may approach SUP section to address concerns. City
Council can control on a case-by-case basis.
Brandon Bledsoe: If people are asking for fuel delivery onsite, we should figure out a
way to make this case work instead of adding more gas stations.
Applicant: Our goal is to reduce the need for gas stations.
Chad Patton: This business unit has so much room to grow and expand .
Ken Baker: From comments and discussion, it sounds like more of a by-right activity.
We can look at the accessory use section and broaden it out.
Daniel Kubiak: Our goal is to attract more office buildings and tenants; these [Booster]
are the types of amenities tenants and customers expect.

Chad Patton: This is a unique case. All safety hazards must be addressed.
Brandon Bledsoe: W ith Fire Department involved, they’ll help mitigate these dangers.
The City should reach out to other jurisdictions to see how this service operates and
how they allowed it.
Ken Baker: We can require owner’s permission. We’ll direct staff to research this type
of service and how to allow it.
Shawn McCaskill: Favor concept, paper it for P&Z and City Council.
