What's proposed

The site is zoned IM Industrial Manufacturing and already operates as a metal salvage facility under SUP No. 2434, granted January 12, 2022 for five years (expiring January 12, 2027). Owner/applicant Mike Uhrick (Ryan Street Developers LLC; representative Robert Baldwin) asks to amend the SUP so the salvage yard keeps operating. No changes to the existing SUP site plan are proposed. IM zoning allows 110 ft height and 80% lot coverage, but this request only continues the existing use.

Staff recommendation

"Approval for a five-year period, subject to conditions." Conditions: use limited to a metal salvage facility; compliance with the attached site plan; ingress/egress only where shown; outside operations only in the area shown; minimum 38 off-street parking spaces; property kept in good repair. A volunteered deed restriction (Z145-236) already prohibits more intense uses (auto auction, outside salvage, refuse transfer station, landfill, vehicle storage lot, etc.); metal salvage is not on that list.

Who it helps or hurts

Adjacent single-family / residential ownersNeutral

the report lists no residential neighbors. Surrounding uses are storage warehouses (north, east), office showroom/warehouse and commercial motor vehicle parking (south), and another metal salvage facility (west). Transportation found no significant roadway impact.

Nearby commercial / land investorsNeutral to mildly helpful

renewal confirms the Industrial Hub placetype and recent precedent (Z-25-000089, Dec 10, 2025 metal salvage SUP renewal nearby; Z245-184, Feb 25, 2026 concrete batch plant SUP for Cowtown Redi-Mix). Expect continued heavy-industrial valuation, not redevelopment pressure. MVA "F".

Within about 1,000 feet

Ryan Road is a community collector (44' pavement, 60' ROW); Luna Road a principal arterial (107'). No DART rail or bus within a half mile. BNSF Railway is on the notification list.

Watch for

  • The time-limit condition is drafted oddly ("expires on ___ (5-years after passage) January 12,2027"); the final expiration date should be clarified.
  • 15 property owners notified (list dated 09/11/2026); replies not stated in the report.

Next step

Yes — an SUP amendment requires a City Council public hearing after CPC; date not stated in the report.
