Carrollton Residents Voice Privacy Concerns Over Flock Safety ALPR Program
The city council held a public forum to discuss concerns regarding the Flock Safety Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR) program. Residents expressed worries about privacy violations, potential misuse of data, lack of transparency regarding data storage and effectiveness, and the possibility of future litigation. Several speakers urged the council to cancel or not renew the contract, emphasizing that surveillance is not safety and that resident data is collected without explicit consent. Concerns were raised about the potential for abuse, citing examples from other cities. The council was asked to consider metrics, return on investment, and hold a dedicated hearing on the program before any contract renewal.
Carrollton Council Approves Special Use Permit for Permanent Makeup Services Amidst Zoning Discussions
The City Council considered a special use permit (SUP) amendment to allow tattoo parlors, piercing, or permanent makeup services in a 152 square foot space within a local retail district (LR2) at 2515 North Josie Lane. The SUP would also remove the existing daycare center as an allowed use. The applicant, a beauty salon, intends to use the space for permanent makeup services. Staff recommended approval, finding the use compatible with the area, with a time constraint for business hours (6-9 p.m.) and a size limitation. Council members discussed the scope of the SUP, the potential for other tattoo or piercing services beyond permanent makeup, and the vacancy of the building. The motion to approve passed with one opposition vote.

Carrollton Council Reviews Ambitious 'Alpine X' Development Proposal for Former NTTA Site
The city council discussed the potential development of the former NTTA site, approximately 121 acres, with a vision for a sustainable and vibrant destination district. The proposed development, known as Alpine X, includes an entertainment venue, hotel, conference center, retail, and high-density residential and office spaces. The council is considering authorizing staff to proceed with a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Alpine X to further study and align on project details before a definitive agreement. This project aims to create daily demand, boost economic development, and draw tourism to Carrollton. Alpine X plans to create a resort-style destination with experiences for all community members, including affordable snow sports and other activities. The development will be phased, with the resort and event center as key components. The proposal involves a special purpose district for financing and management, with the city retaining ownership of the conference center. The council expressed interest in learning more about the project.
