1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,720
 Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Planning and Zoning Commission work

2
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:09,720
 session.

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,760
 It is for Wednesday, July 28th, 2021.

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,680
 Seeing that we have a quorum, I will call the meeting to order at 5.06.

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,440
 Let the record show that Commissioner Smith is absent this evening.

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:26,440
 First item of business is that we do not have any citizen comments on the consent agenda.

7
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,600
 And then, Haley, if it's okay with you, can we go in the work session reports and then

8
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,160
 come back for the clarification of agenda items?

9
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:33,160
 Yes.

10
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:34,160
 Perfect.

11
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:42,040
 So we're going to skip down to work session item number three, receive a report and hold

12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,680
 a discussion regarding the overall development process and comprehensive planning.

13
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,640
 Thank you, Chair, members of the Commission.

14
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:53,840
 Haley, I don't know if you had an introduction to -- I'm going to go ahead and start the

15
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:54,840
 presentation.

16
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,080
 Yeah, if you want to pull that up, Ron.

17
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,680
 So everyone knows we are kick-starting the boot camp series again, so this will be the

18
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,120
 first of what we hope to do at least once a month moving forward through the end of

19
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,600
 the year just to cover some very broad topics related to the types of items that come before

20
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,600
 you all.

21
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,640
 So tonight we'll go through, as you can see on the calendar there, just kind of the planning

22
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,400
 101, what are our processes, what applications does P&Z see.

23
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,320
 And then Ron will give us an overview regarding comprehensive planning.

24
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:25,800
 And then you can see our intended schedule there, so if you all have any questions, concerns,

25
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,040
 other topics that you want us to look into once we get through these, just let me know

26
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,240
 and we can certainly add those to the future calendar.

27
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,240
 Great.

28
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,120
 So I'll go ahead and get started.

29
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:42,520
 The DDC, the Denton Development Code, for those that don't know what a DDC stands for.

30
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,600
 So it is the code that we use, the Planning Department and obviously the Planning Zoning

31
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:52,320
 Commission, City Council, and I provided a copy to some of the new members, and so hopefully

32
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:59,120
 you'll have a copy or know where one is online to reference as we often do in our applications

33
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:05,720
 or our staff reports, that is, often references the Denton Development Code.

34
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,880
 Just a couple of bullets here that kind of explain what the Development Code stands for

35
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:10,880
 or what it is for.

36
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,080
 Obviously the intent here is to promote the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens

37
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,080
 of Denton.

38
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,160
 It implements the comprehensive plan.

39
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,880
 The comprehensive plan, it's the overarching document which we'll talk about in a little

40
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:28,040
 bit, but the zoning and the Development Code implements the comprehensive plan.

41
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,880
 Protects the environment, the natural environment, improves our city's appearance, improves our

42
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:38,000
 mobility, our public infrastructure, making sure that we have that in place, makes sure

43
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,120
 that we have appropriate land uses where they should be, and then establishes the procedures.

44
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:47,920
 In fact, the first element or first chapter of the Denton Development Code is the procedures

45
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:55,200
 and administration which sets the process for which our applications are reviewed under

46
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,080
 and presented to you all.

47
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,080
 I skipped the slide here.

48
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:06,900
 The tools that we use that is again covered in our Denton Development Code starts with

49
00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:09,920
 zoning and that is chapter three.

50
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:13,460
 So chapter two is administration and procedures.

51
00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:20,160
 Chapter three is zoning and zoning again, we have 17 different zoning districts in the

52
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,680
 city and it is presented in a zoning map.

53
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,600
 We won't go through each of the zoning districts, but we will talk about it briefly.

54
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:34,620
 Planning is another set of applications that the planning zoning primarily is the approving

55
00:03:34,620 --> 00:03:41,600
 body in which you, again, approve with conditions or deny with reasons.

56
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:48,040
 Plan standards go along with all the other applications that we process, specifically

57
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:53,840
 site, sorry, conceptual site plans, what are they?

58
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,640
 Zoning compliance plans, sorry, we changed it a couple times, so the zoning compliance

59
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:02,200
 plan are what we also as known to is site plan.

60
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,920
 We refer to the development standards in order to make sure that those plans are consistent

61
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,720
 with the development code, in that sense, the development standards.

62
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:16,100
 In addition, criteria manuals are not in the development code, but rather are separate

63
00:04:16,100 --> 00:04:23,980
 documents that mainly are engineering requirements, technical requirements, and so they're covered

64
00:04:23,980 --> 00:04:26,120
 under the criteria manuals.

65
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:31,080
 And those are provided or available on our city's website or hard copies can be provided

66
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,040
 to individuals as well.

67
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,760
 Process, again, we talked about that being that is sub-chapter two of the Denton Development

68
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:45,680
 Code has all the different application types, who reviews it, who approves it, and then

69
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,560
 ultimately, if there's an appeal, who can it be appealed to?

70
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:54,160
 So we'll get into that as we get through some of the application types.

71
00:04:54,160 --> 00:05:02,120
 But really, before we do that, the development review process, there are five steps from

72
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,540
 feasibility all the way down to project completion.

73
00:05:05,540 --> 00:05:12,320
 Everything in between is covered under object applications, stage two, stage three pre-construction,

74
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,280
 and then construction permitting inspections before we get to completion.

75
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:23,080
 So we'll go through each of these stages one by one, and we'll start with the feasibility.

76
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,820
 Throughout the development review process, there are a number of departments involved

77
00:05:27,820 --> 00:05:30,040
 in the review.

78
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:36,840
 We have our development facilitators, and we have three really good facilitators that

79
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:42,720
 help make sure that our projects run smoothly or go through the process smoothly.

80
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,040
 They manage this process, in essence.

81
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:53,880
 They include three members of development services, and in addition to the facilitators,

82
00:05:53,880 --> 00:06:00,480
 we also have other departments that provide input and comments regarding applications.

83
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:06,960
 Engineering, the engineering department is actually supplemented by a third party, HR

84
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,920
 Green, who does that third party review.

85
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,840
 There's obviously coordination between them and our engineers in-house.

86
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:23,080
 So again, that is a main reviewing body that plays a big role in our review process.

87
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,000
 Planning, that involves the planners and planning technicians.

88
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,000
 The planning technicians are really those that take in the applications.

89
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,720
 Planners are the ones that review it and present it to the various boards and commissions,

90
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,440
 such as the planning zoning commission.

91
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:42,440
 Building safety, because building safety also has a part in the development review process,

92
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,960
 in the end of the process, they're going to be involved.

93
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,560
 So we have them involved in the very beginning so that they can provide input in advance

94
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:55,560
 so that when we get to the building permit stage, there's nothing that's left out.

95
00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:00,920
 They include plans examiners, building inspectors, as well as health inspectors, if there is

96
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,840
 a need for their review.

97
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:09,520
 Public works inspections, also a very important reviewer, as mentioned earlier.

98
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,320
 They're obviously more involved towards the end, but if we can get them involved in the

99
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:17,640
 very beginning, provide the comments and review in advance, that will help the project and

100
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:22,560
 hopefully limit the number of issues at the end of the project or towards the end of the

101
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,560
 project.

102
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,480
 We also have subject matter experts that don't necessarily have a review of every project,

103
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,960
 but when there is a need for them, we have them for a reviewer.

104
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:41,000
 Fire, watershed division, the parks department, electric, which is DME, as well as, again,

105
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,220
 our consultant engineers in various disciplines.

106
00:07:45,220 --> 00:07:49,480
 So you can tell that we've got a big group that looks at every applications when they're

107
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,560
 needed and there's a lot that needs to be covered.

108
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,760
 All right, phase, I'm sorry, stage one, feasibility.

109
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:04,840
 This is really understanding if this project is feasible or not, and what we offer the

110
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:10,380
 community is a pre-application conference, and some of you may have heard of them.

111
00:08:10,380 --> 00:08:18,100
 They allow the applicant the ability to come in, speak to our team, which is the individuals

112
00:08:18,100 --> 00:08:23,440
 that I just discussed or presented, and have an opportunity to sit down and identify what

113
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,580
 things that they need to be looking at.

114
00:08:26,580 --> 00:08:30,840
 There are sometimes more planning-related items.

115
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,820
 There are sometimes more engineering-related items, but we all work together in identifying

116
00:08:35,820 --> 00:08:40,760
 what those comments and those issues are, and hopefully we resolve them so that when

117
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:47,460
 they submit an application, it is as smooth as possible and as less comments as possible

118
00:08:47,460 --> 00:08:51,080
 so that they can get through in a quick manner.

119
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,260
 The way the pre-application works, just to kind of give you -- it's a very simple -- it's

120
00:08:55,260 --> 00:09:00,440
 a free option for developers to do.

121
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,200
 They basically go online, submit their requests.

122
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,780
 A facilitator will contact them, verify if it is a pre-application or if it's something

123
00:09:08,780 --> 00:09:13,760
 that can just be answered by the facilitator or planner or an engineer, but if it requires

124
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:18,920
 a little bit more discussion and is a little bit more complex, one will be scheduled.

125
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,280
 They're typically set for Wednesdays.

126
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:28,480
 We have them as much as we can, but we do have a running list because we can't have them

127
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:33,720
 throughout the whole day, so we try to schedule them, and obviously the first come first serve,

128
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:38,400
 and we let them know when they're scheduled so that they know in advance when that is,

129
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:43,920
 and then at the end, a nice package of comments, summary of what was discussed at the pre-application

130
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,560
 conference is provided.

131
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:47,480
 They have their next steps.

132
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,200
 Hopefully they have the direction that they need to move forward with their project, and

133
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:59,640
 we can, again, see their application in a less -- more complete submittal.

134
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:06,760
 Applications, these are the list of applications that we have available, and when I say applications,

135
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,240
 these are projects.

136
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,880
 We don't have listed here the permit types.

137
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,620
 Those are something separate.

138
00:10:12,620 --> 00:10:18,120
 We're going to focus on projects, so under applications, obviously annexations, we are

139
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,960
 actually in the process of presenting one to city council next week.

140
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:27,640
 We received an application for this just a couple weeks ago, so we're moving forward

141
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,840
 with an annexation.

142
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:35,800
 Entitlements, the zoning changes, the comp plan amendments, you've seen some of those

143
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:36,800
 already.

144
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,880
 SUPs, I think there's ones that are coming up.

145
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:46,160
 Here's the zoning compliance plan, which I messed up earlier, again, site plan.

146
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:53,400
 Polymer plots, which is an approval by the planning zoning commission.

147
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:58,780
 Civil engineering plans go after polymer plots and before final plots.

148
00:10:58,780 --> 00:11:03,880
 Civil engineering plans are primarily a staff-approved application.

149
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,480
 Final plots, you've seen these come through the planning zoning commission and then building

150
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:08,480
 permits.

151
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:15,740
 So those are typically the process or sequence in which one submits an application.

152
00:11:15,740 --> 00:11:20,800
 If they don't need a zoning change, a comp plan amendment, or a specific use permit,

153
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:26,880
 they go straight to a zoning compliance plan, and if the property is already plotted and

154
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,200
 does not need to be plotted, they can go straight to building permits.

155
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:35,400
 So again, it's just dependent on what the situation is on that site.

156
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,320
 Sometimes they need all of it, sometimes they just can go straight to building permits.

157
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:44,840
 We also have supporting application types in the form of an alternative ESA plan, and

158
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:52,800
 that is where the established ESA designation on our ESA map is where an applicant wants

159
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,620
 to develop over or through.

160
00:11:55,620 --> 00:12:01,040
 In order to have that done, they have to submit an application for an alternative ESA plan.

161
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,240
 Now, that is not guaranteed.

162
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:08,440
 That is something that goes through this, the body, as well as the city council.

163
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:13,040
 Ultimately, the planning zoning commission makes a recommendation, and city council makes

164
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:18,440
 the decision on either to approve or deny the alternative ESA plan.

165
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:25,520
 The traffic impact analysis, the drainage studies, the tech stop permits, are all staff

166
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,180
 approved applications.

167
00:12:28,180 --> 00:12:32,280
 You don't see them, but they are applications that are submitted and reviewed.

168
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:37,360
 Variances go to the zoning board of adjustments, they do not come to the planning zoning commission,

169
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,640
 and then the easement, right away abandonment, and encroachments are all applications that

170
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:48,220
 are submitted, and if it includes a utility easement, they do go to the public utilities

171
00:12:48,220 --> 00:12:54,200
 board for their recommendation, but ultimately, city council considers and approves or denies

172
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,200
 the application.

173
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:02,280
 I'm going to stop there, and is there any questions before I move on to the next slide?

174
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,920
 Just want to make sure we have an opportunity to ask questions.

175
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:06,920
 Okay.

176
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,840
 We'll go ahead.

177
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:14,640
 Ron, just for clarification, not all of those applications will come to P&Z, correct?

178
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,040
 No, not all of them.

179
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,920
 We're going to get to the next slide, and it will illustrate which ones do come to the

180
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,000
 planning zoning commissions and which ones do not.

181
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:29,680
 So perfect segue, Chair, we're going to talk about those application types a little bit

182
00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:34,600
 more in detail, and again, identifying which ones do come to the planning zoning commissions

183
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,640
 and which ones do not.

184
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,160
 First one is annexation.

185
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,600
 This does not come to the planning zoning commission.

186
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:46,880
 It does require a public hearing, but it is a public hearing with the city council only,

187
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,720
 and the city council is the decision-making body.

188
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:55,520
 A comprehensive plan amendment is one that we look at either the future land use map,

189
00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:00,220
 the mobility plan, the infrastructure plan, any housing plan, any plan that's under the

190
00:14:00,220 --> 00:14:06,420
 comprehensive plan will need to be brought forward through the planning zoning commission

191
00:14:06,420 --> 00:14:09,320
 for their recommendation and ultimately city council.

192
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:14,600
 Again, if they're trying to amend, they being the applicant trying to amend the comprehensive

193
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:15,720
 plan.

194
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:22,680
 Again, all of this is reviewed, and I think we'll discuss the comprehensive plan a little

195
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:28,320
 bit later, but again, the amendments do come to the planning zoning commission for your

196
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,880
 recommendation.

197
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:40,200
 Just to show you a little bit more on what is in the city in terms of what is our jurisdiction,

198
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:47,240
 you can see to the left, the colored area that is outlined in beige color is properties

199
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:52,640
 that are within the city limits, and then the area outside that is more of the gray

200
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:57,920
 is what we refer to as ETJ, Extraterritorial Jurisdiction.

201
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:07,880
 This boundary follows the city limits of the city in terms of if a property is annexed

202
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:16,320
 into the city, and the outskirts of the city that is, our ETJ grows along with it as well.

203
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:24,960
 The radius in which it expands is five miles, so for example, if a property were to be annexed

204
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:34,680
 on the northwest corner of the city around I-35 and say the loop somewhere around here,

205
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:43,560
 if it expands westward, so will the ETJ boundary, it will expand westward as well.

206
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:48,920
 The only thing about that is if there is an existing ETJ there already, it will not expand

207
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:54,620
 further west, so it can only expand where there is no ETJ or city limits.

208
00:15:54,620 --> 00:16:00,960
 You can see that Crum, Ponder, Sanger, and to a certain degree, Pilot Point all have

209
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:08,400
 established ETJs as well, and so as we expand our annex and expand our ETJ, we basically

210
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:15,620
 surround them and go around their ETJ boundaries, and that's what has happened with, again,

211
00:16:15,620 --> 00:16:17,320
 those cities in particular.

212
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:23,660
 Hey, Ron, before you move on, I just wanted to touch on the yellow areas on that map.

213
00:16:23,660 --> 00:16:27,280
 Those are areas where we have non-annexation agreements in place, so you might hear us

214
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,760
 use that term sometimes with platts.

215
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,440
 Those are areas that are technically still in our ETJ, but council has approved an agreement

216
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:38,320
 with them to allow them to stay in the ETJ if they ever try to develop their property

217
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,120
 with more than a single family or agricultural use.

218
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,320
 They've agreed that they would annex into the city at that point, and Ron, we're currently

219
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:46,320
 at 20-year?

220
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:47,320
 20 years, yes.

221
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,320
 20-year agreements, so.

222
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:54,680
 Last year, the city council approved an extension of those agreements to 2040, August 1st of

223
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:55,680
 2040.

224
00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:01,080
 I won't be here, but someone will be, and you know, when they consider that again.

225
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,120
 But no, thank you for that, Haley, and you're right.

226
00:17:04,120 --> 00:17:09,520
 If there is a development proposed in those non-annexation areas, that is not single family

227
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,320
 or agricultural use.

228
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:17,000
 The agreement states that they will voluntarily annex, and that is what has happened in the

229
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,440
 annexation I was referring to earlier.

230
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:25,360
 They're wanting to develop that site, and therefore would require to be annexed into

231
00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:26,360
 the city.

232
00:17:26,360 --> 00:17:31,640
 So they're voluntarily annexing their property into the city because they're wanting to develop

233
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:32,640
 that property.

234
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,160
 And again, that property has a non-annexation agreement, and that's what Haley's referring

235
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,200
 to.

236
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,920
 Zoning amendment, or rezoning, often referred to.

237
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:53,080
 As you guys see, not often, but often enough, where a property owner wants to develop a

238
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,800
 property, does not have the allowed uses allowed under that zoning district.

239
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:03,160
 So they have to go to a different zoning district in order to develop that use.

240
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:10,160
 Or their dimensional standards, their setbacks, their building height, or their lot dimensions

241
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,740
 are not in compliance with a zoning district.

242
00:18:13,740 --> 00:18:19,320
 They can choose to apply for rezoning to get to a zoning district that does allow for that.

243
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:26,440
 So those are options for the applicant to apply for a zoning amendment or a zoning change.

244
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,960
 We also have the development code amendments under this category.

245
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:36,800
 We also have any map and use regulations that is under Subject 5, can also go under this

246
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,560
 category of the zoning amendment.

247
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:44,840
 This does go through the Planning Zoning Commission, as you already know that, as for a recommendation,

248
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,440
 and then ultimately the City Council.

249
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:54,200
 And again, if I go through this fairly quickly, if there's any questions, please let me know.

250
00:18:54,200 --> 00:19:00,200
 Again, the public hearings, specifically to some of the zoning, particularly, you know,

251
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:08,320
 if there are any oppositions by the properties within 200 feet, they don't affect your recommendation,

252
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:13,440
 but they do affect the City Council's voting for approval.

253
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:19,280
 If there are more than 20% in opposition of land area adjacent to the subject site within

254
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:24,960
 200 feet, they will require a supermajority at City Council.

255
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:31,760
 And similarly, if the Planning Zoning Commission denies an application, the City Council will

256
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:40,960
 require a supermajority to approve that application.

257
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:45,600
 This slide here just illustrates the zoning districts that we have in the City.

258
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:51,880
 You can see from the top row here, it goes from residential, rural residential, all the

259
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:57,840
 way through the residential zoning districts, mixed use, corridor, other non-residential

260
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:03,680
 zoning districts, only to PF, which is public facilities.

261
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,560
 Within this table, you can see that the uses are listed to the left.

262
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:14,600
 And if there is a P associated with it, that means it's permitted, that that use can be

263
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,200
 developed in that zoning district.

264
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:24,800
 If there is an S, that is a specific use permit, which we will touch base on, will require

265
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:32,080
 the Planning Zoning Commission for your recommendation, and ultimately City Council's consideration.

266
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:40,280
 If there is a plus associated or next to the P or the S, there are additional site, sorry,

267
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,840
 use specific standards associated with that requirement or that use.

268
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:52,480
 So, for example, we use, let me see, medical office, for example.

269
00:20:52,480 --> 00:21:00,520
 Medical office in the MN zoning district is permitted but has a plus associated with it.

270
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:06,320
 What that means is a developer or whoever is requesting to develop that medical center

271
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:14,840
 will need to also go to Section 534H, again, because of the plus, and look at additional

272
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,400
 use specific standards associated with that use.

273
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:27,040
 It may be business hours, it may be a certain amount of, you know, a limit in their size

274
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,480
 of development.

275
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:35,440
 So, there's an array of use specific standards that go along with each of these different

276
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:36,440
 uses.

277
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:42,040
 So, just kind of give you an idea what the staff goes through when we get an application

278
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:46,680
 or a pre-application and someone wants to develop a medical office and they happen to

279
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:53,000
 be in the zone MN, we refer to this table and provide that information to them as well

280
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,280
 as the use specific standards.

281
00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:01,680
 If they want to develop in the R7, for example, a medical office, and you can see it is blank,

282
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:08,240
 they are not allowed, but at least have an idea of where they can develop or if they

283
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:13,240
 choose to, pick a zoning district in which they would, you know, consider rezoning.

284
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:18,960
 And, again, that is an option for them or they can choose either another property or

285
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:25,120
 choose another use in which to develop.

286
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:30,440
 Plan development, we see this as well, not as often.

287
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:37,720
 The idea of a plan development is to allow some flexibility where the developer may not

288
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:45,880
 have the ability to meet all the requirements, but is willing to provide enhanced design,

289
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:53,320
 enhanced open space or any other land use concepts that would be better as far as quality

290
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,360
 for the development.

291
00:22:55,360 --> 00:23:02,640
 In doing so, the PD gives us the opportunity, when I say us, the city, the ability to provide

292
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:11,120
 that flexibility to said developer, but also require and ask for additional enhancement

293
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:16,600
 in which the developer hopefully will agree and if we are in agreement, we can bring it

294
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:17,600
 forward.

295
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:22,080
 This requires a planning zoning commission recommendation and ultimately city council

296
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:27,320
 consideration.

297
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:34,760
 Just as an example of a plan development, this is off of Teasley in Robinson, it is

298
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,000
 a PD.

299
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,720
 It's a PD that has been in place for some time.

300
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:44,960
 You can see that the area has fully developed.

301
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:52,200
 This area right here, if you're familiar, there's the Kroger, there's the Sprouts over here,

302
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,280
 and so this area is a PD.

303
00:23:55,280 --> 00:24:01,400
 It has mainly single family home, they've got a number of open spaces shown here, as

304
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:06,560
 well as a commercial component at the corner of Teasley and Robinson again.

305
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:11,560
 So this development came in with commercial, residential and open space.

306
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:18,280
 We proved as part of the PD, the subdivision or the development, looking at not just the

307
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:27,440
 layout, the drainage, but all of the other amenities that it offers to the city.

308
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,620
 Specific use permit is what I spoke about earlier.

309
00:24:29,620 --> 00:24:34,240
 So again, there is an S associated with that use.

310
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:39,200
 A specific use permit is required and really it's just an opportunity for staff to review

311
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:46,320
 the land use that's being proposed in order to develop or to identify any potential impacts

312
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:51,800
 that it may have on adjacent properties and if so, there's opportunities for the Planning

313
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:57,480
 Zoning Commission, the staff as well, and ultimately City Council to provide or ask

314
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:05,080
 for conditions so that it would mitigate whatever impact that may have come up associated with

315
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,640
 the review.

316
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:13,280
 For example, if there is a traffic issue, there could be a mitigation or a condition

317
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,320
 to add a certain amount of lanes or right turn lanes.

318
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,600
 That's just something that can be done.

319
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,160
 There's a lot of other requirements or conditions that can be placed.

320
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,400
 Again, that specific use permit allows you the ability to do so.

321
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,640
 This is a little bit more formal.

322
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:34,680
 There's also obviously the PD that offers you to provide those additional enhancement

323
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:40,540
 of those requirements, but this calls it out specifically in that table of allowed uses.

324
00:25:40,540 --> 00:25:43,560
 So that's why it's sort of dealt differently.

325
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:48,080
 Again, this does come through the Planning Zoning Commission and your recommendation

326
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,840
 is forwarded to the City Council.

327
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:58,000
 With a specific use permit, we require the applicant to submit a site plan, a landscape

328
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,600
 plan, and any infrastructure analysis as well.

329
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:06,680
 We want to make sure that the specific use permit fits and is able to comply with the

330
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:12,480
 requirements of the Denson Development Code, Criterion Manual, and other codes associated

331
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,000
 with development.

332
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:23,440
 Because once it's approved, the site plan, the landscape plan will be subject to de-ordnance.

333
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:24,640
 It would be binding.

334
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:25,640
 That's the word I was looking for.

335
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,760
 It would be binding, and any development that comes in would have to comply with the site

336
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,040
 plan, with the landscape plan.

337
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:37,080
 Now there are opportunities to deviate, but not much.

338
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:43,440
 There's about 5% that you can deviate in terms of open space, landscape, any site design

339
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,720
 requirements.

340
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,160
 The applicant can deviate 5%, but anything more than that, it would have to come back

341
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:57,280
 to the Planning Zoning Commission and ultimately again City Council.

342
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,400
 Environmental sensitive areas, we talked about the alternative ESA plan already.

343
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:07,160
 We do have a number of ESAs that are identified in our ESA map.

344
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:12,680
 Cross Timbers Upland Habitat, riparian buffers, and other water-related ESA, and the undeveloped

345
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:13,960
 flood plain.

346
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,960
 Those are all identified in our ESA map, and as development comes in, and again part of

347
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:26,640
 our pre-application conference, if they show any encroachment or any building over ESAs,

348
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,920
 we let them know that that is not allowed, or there are certain mitigations that you

349
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:31,920
 need to comply.

350
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:38,920
 If they, in their efforts to develop the property, want to continue with that encroachment, the

351
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,040
 alternative ESA plan is an option for them.

352
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:47,160
 Again it's not guaranteed, it is still a process, and there is information that they share and

353
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:54,260
 we also provide that will either affect how they move forward or not in terms of how much

354
00:27:54,260 --> 00:27:55,260
 they can impact.

355
00:27:55,260 --> 00:28:00,920
 So the idea here is to limit the impact to ESA as much as possible, but still give the

356
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:07,880
 opportunity if there is a way to do it, the ability to develop their property again without

357
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:14,440
 fully increasing the impact to the ESA.

358
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:15,680
 This is the map I'm referring to.

359
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:23,920
 This is a screenshot of our ESA map, and you can see that the areas in green are your upland

360
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:31,080
 habitats, the areas that are in the lighter purple and towards darker purple and blueish

361
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,440
 color are your riparian water related habitats.

362
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:41,560
 So you can see that the city of Denton has a number, or a lot of areas within this area,

363
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,320
 within the city that is, that have ESA.

364
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:51,760
 Again, any development that encroaches or impacts an ESA designation will not be allowed

365
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,600
 or have to go through the alternative ESA plan.

366
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,640
 All right.

367
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:05,520
 Next is our subdivision applications, preliminary plat, final plat, replat, and vacating plat.

368
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:12,120
 As part of a House Bill, House Bill 3167, a couple sessions ago, a bill was passed in

369
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:19,320
 which the city, the approving body, in this case the Planning Zoning Commission, which

370
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:26,680
 is the approving body for these plats, has 30 days to consider a plat.

371
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:33,400
 That means when they submit it, the staff has 30 days to review it and get it to you

372
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,160
 before that 30 days.

373
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,560
 If for whatever reason it does not, it automatically gets approved.

374
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:46,880
 We have not had that opportunity or that situation before happen, but we tried very hard to make

375
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:52,540
 sure that we schedule our applications, our submittal applications, so that we have the

376
00:29:52,540 --> 00:29:55,680
 time in which to review the applications.

377
00:29:55,680 --> 00:30:00,760
 And given the 30 days, there is about two reviews built in.

378
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:07,400
 So the applicant comes in, has a review, we provide comments, one review, they have another

379
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:12,920
 opportunity to resubmit, we then review and then provide comments again.

380
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:17,440
 By then, if they haven't addressed it, then, you know, we have to bring it to the Planning

381
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:18,440
 Zoning Commission.

382
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:23,840
 And if they haven't addressed all their comments, it's a recommendation of denial.

383
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:28,080
 They have the option for a one-time 30-day extension.

384
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:33,280
 Most applicants do take that option, because if they do not, and say the Planning Zoning

385
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:40,340
 Commission denies the application, the denial is basically given to the application.

386
00:30:40,340 --> 00:30:46,720
 They can resubmit that application after it's been denied, but would have to pay half the

387
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,220
 fee in which they submitted that application.

388
00:30:49,220 --> 00:30:55,300
 So say, for example, a preliminary plat, say it would cost, you know, let's say $5,000.

389
00:30:55,300 --> 00:31:01,720
 If it was denied by the Planning Z, the applicant has the opportunity to resubmit, and when

390
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,660
 they resubmit, they have to pay the $2,500.

391
00:31:05,660 --> 00:31:11,960
 So they should take that 30 days, but hopefully by then, they have addressed all their comments.

392
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:17,920
 So the idea here is to get through their application in a timely manner, and as less amount of

393
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,680
 reviews as possible.

394
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:25,480
 I'll go through the preliminary plat is really the very first stage in the platting exercise.

395
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:33,160
 It's just to overall plan the area, site layout, identify where the infrastructures are, identify

396
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,680
 any access and the like.

397
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,800
 In between the preliminary plat and the final plat is civil engineering plans.

398
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:46,160
 You get a little bit more finer details, a little bit more analysis, and then that turns

399
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,480
 into a final plat.

400
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:52,000
 That information is then put into a final plat, and again, both the preliminary plat

401
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:58,180
 and final plat are a Planning Zoning Commission consideration, approved with conditions or

402
00:31:58,180 --> 00:32:00,060
 denied with reasons.

403
00:32:00,060 --> 00:32:08,120
 We also have replats where a plat of a property is already platted, and the applicant wants

404
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:09,880
 to subdivide that.

405
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,860
 In order to do that, they would need to apply for a replat.

406
00:32:12,860 --> 00:32:15,760
 So that is where that comes in.

407
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,120
 We also have minor replats.

408
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:23,400
 Any subdivision of four or less lots can submit under a minor plat, but anything more than

409
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:31,520
 that would have to come in for either a final plat or a minor replat, that is.

410
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,960
 We also have vacating plats, which we don't do often, but when we do, it does come through

411
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:44,480
 this board, and it is the Planning Zoning Commission's final decision.

412
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:50,640
 You've all seen plats, and we obviously have several in our backup this afternoon.

413
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:55,340
 The main things that we're looking for here in this final replat is really, obviously,

414
00:32:55,340 --> 00:32:57,840
 the location of the plat.

415
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:02,200
 What are the encumbrance in terms of easements or dedications?

416
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:07,700
 What are the lot dimensions in order for us to identify if it fits the zoning district

417
00:33:07,700 --> 00:33:09,920
 dimensional standards?

418
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:17,440
 Other administrative needs or requirements include a north arrow, approval block, a legend

419
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:23,960
 in order to read the map, the other most important thing is the title block in which it provides

420
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:30,300
 the information of each of the final plats that you receive, dedication, and then a meets

421
00:33:30,300 --> 00:33:31,960
 and bounds legal description.

422
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:38,000
 Again, important to establish the boundaries of this plat or a plat.

423
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,200
 All right.

424
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,760
 Before moving forward, are there any questions related to the type of applications we've

425
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:49,560
 already discussed, platting, SUPs, rezonings, or comp line-up?

426
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:50,560
 Yes.

427
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:51,560
 Christian McDade.

428
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:58,640
 Yeah, I just need you to go through something for me.

429
00:33:58,640 --> 00:33:59,640
 Yes.

430
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:07,760
 When you were talking about the 100-year plan, the FEMA 100-year plan, I really don't

431
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:08,760
 understand that.

432
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:13,400
 Is that something you can walk me through, because that comes up in the area of town

433
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:18,880
 that I live in, and they ask me questions about it, and I have no way to tell them what's

434
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:19,880
 going on?

435
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:20,880
 Sure.

436
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:28,920
 Obviously, FEMA is obviously the jurisdiction that controls the floodplain within the United

437
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:35,960
 States, and so they have a map that shows where those 100-year floodplain or 500-year

438
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:41,400
 floodplain and then our floodway, so really the floodway is where water runs, and then

439
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:47,400
 the 100-year floodplain is the area outside of that floodway where in 100 years there

440
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:54,000
 could potentially be a flood, and so they've mapped that out and put it in a map that we

441
00:34:54,000 --> 00:35:00,120
 refer to as well when we look at any development, so any development that comes in, we want

442
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,120
 to avoid the floodway.

443
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:08,320
 We want to minimize our impact on the 100-year floodplain, and we also have a 500-year floodplain

444
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:15,720
 that they've identified on a plan that, again, in 500 years there'd be a flood, most likely

445
00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:23,080
 not happening within 500 years, but the 100-year floodplain is more likely because it could

446
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,560
 happen within 100 years.

447
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:30,280
 Is there a certain, I mean, if that individual wanted to look into that, I mean, what department

448
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,160
 would they go to to get that?

449
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:40,040
 So we have a floodplain administrator in the city, but our drainage department, again,

450
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,440
 they would obviously work with them.

451
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:49,880
 We also have the opportunity to have maybe some of our engineers to look at some of their

452
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:55,200
 questions, but we'll definitely start with either a call to the development services

453
00:35:55,200 --> 00:36:00,920
 and see if we can try to answer it and then ultimately direct them to our drainage engineers.

454
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:05,240
 All righty, thank you.

455
00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:11,480
 Okay, so stage three, that is pre-construction.

456
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,720
 These are all, you've gone through the zoning, you've gone, if you even needed a zoning,

457
00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:22,040
 you've gone through the platting stage, you're ready to start the construction or the next

458
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,480
 phase of your development.

459
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:31,560
 In order to start either the public or the private utilities, there are needs for these

460
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:37,480
 documents or these contracts in order to protect the city's interests.

461
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:44,720
 Before anything is done, a pre-construction meeting is held to, again, to identify what

462
00:36:44,720 --> 00:36:51,760
 fees are necessary, what areas of work can be done in order to move forward, and at the

463
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:56,720
 end, after the pre-construction meeting, after all that's been discussed, a notice to proceed

464
00:36:56,720 --> 00:37:02,720
 is provided and they can start working on their development in terms of installing utilities.

465
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:10,680
 Of course, that usually goes in prior and then following that, the building permit,

466
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:14,120
 which is stage four, construction permitting and inspections.

467
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:20,660
 So during the construction, there's obviously onsite inspections to make sure that the roads

468
00:37:20,660 --> 00:37:27,080
 are laid out, the paths are established, any change orders, follow-up questions.

469
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,000
 The building permit is reviewed and issued.

470
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,760
 Again, this is all building code related.

471
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,600
 There's nothing to do with the development code.

472
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,360
 It is reviewed under a building safety department.

473
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:45,280
 They have their building codes, their fire codes, electric codes.

474
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:50,320
 So there's a number of codes that anyone that has to or wants to develop in the city would

475
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,480
 have to make sure that they comply with those codes.

476
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:59,020
 Once it starts to develop, it starts to be constructed, there are onsite inspections

477
00:37:59,020 --> 00:38:03,840
 and then ultimately, any questions that needs to be addressed will be done during the construction

478
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,020
 stage or phase.

479
00:38:06,020 --> 00:38:13,200
 And then finalization, obviously there needs to be an inspection, final walk-throughs,

480
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,400
 punch lists, and for those that have built a home before, you know that that's something

481
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:23,560
 that is often done towards the end to make sure that everything is done to code into

482
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,880
 the specifications.

483
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:32,920
 There's a final walk-through and ultimately, the inspector giving the project their final

484
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:39,320
 review inspections will then, we will issue a certificate of occupancy in which they can

485
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:43,840
 now occupy the building from that point on.

486
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:53,440
 Okay, so that was basically the application of the development review process from pre-application

487
00:38:53,440 --> 00:39:01,520
 all the way through platting and then building inspections or building permit review.

488
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:07,040
 I wanted to pause there and again ask if there are any questions on the overall development

489
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:11,280
 review process before I go into comprehensive planning.

490
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:17,120
 Again, I know most of you have seen a lot of the applications, but I just want to offer

491
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:23,940
 to our new planning zoning commissioners if there are any questions related to application

492
00:39:23,940 --> 00:39:28,480
 types, processes, or anything of the like.

493
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:29,480
 Commissioner Pruitt.

494
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,480
 Yeah, just one.

495
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:37,960
 I know in the last few years, we've gone through a cost recovery model for many of the applications.

496
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:38,960
 Yes.

497
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:43,880
 Are the pre-development and the pre-construction meetings, is there a charge for those or are

498
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,840
 those offered free?

499
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,920
 Those are, there are no fees associated with it, no charges associated with the pre-application

500
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:50,920
 or the pre-construction.

501
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:51,920
 Thank you.

502
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:58,240
 Ron, to that end, it might be complicated to do in this one, so maybe I can add it to

503
00:39:58,240 --> 00:40:02,560
 the matrix for another planning session, but I think it would be interesting to have a

504
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:09,320
 developer come in and talk about their end of the process so that there's a totality

505
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:14,000
 of context of how the project's walked through because there might not be any costs associated

506
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:19,640
 with the city, but they are incurring engineering costs, planning costs, all those services

507
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:24,640
 to understand there's a pathway that's happening with the city, but on the back end, the applicant

508
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,360
 is doing a lot of significant work.

509
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:32,800
 It might be helpful to understand that level of work that's happened behind the scenes

510
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,880
 on both the city and the applicant side before it comes to P&Z.

511
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:38,000
 No, I think that's a great idea.

512
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:43,800
 I think understanding the full development review process from both sides is important.

513
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:44,800
 Great.

514
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,800
 Thanks, Ron.

515
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:51,440
 Okay, so we'll go into comprehensive planning.

516
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:52,840
 I'll just share a quick story.

517
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:58,880
 When I joined the city back in 2005, gosh, it was almost over 15 years ago, I was hired

518
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,200
 as a senior planner to work on our comprehensive planning.

519
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:07,000
 At that time, development review was obviously the main thing, and it still continues to

520
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:12,720
 be the main thing, is really what really drives the city, but in my heart, my passion is really

521
00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:16,300
 comprehensive planning, and so what does that mean?

522
00:41:16,300 --> 00:41:17,300
 What is comprehensive planning?

523
00:41:17,300 --> 00:41:22,320
 So I just listed a number of things that I feel is comprehensive planning and how I've

524
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:26,960
 used that in the city of Den, in what I've done.

525
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:31,640
 Obviously implementation of the comprehensive plan, when I first joined the city, the comprehensive

526
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:37,520
 plan that was done was done back in 2000, 1999 specifically, so it had been already

527
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:42,880
 five years and already implemented.

528
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:47,800
 There was a lot of actions and strategies in that comprehensive plan.

529
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:52,960
 ESA was one, the tree preservation was one that kind of came out of that comprehensive

530
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:58,600
 plan, so a lot of work was being done to implement that, so I just wanted to make sure that we

531
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:03,600
 carried that forward as well, or carried forward the comprehensive plan.

532
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,800
 We'll talk a little bit more about comprehensive planning as we know that there is a comprehensive

533
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,240
 plan update currently being done.

534
00:42:10,240 --> 00:42:15,680
 We'll get to the details of that in later slides, but again, just to emphasize that

535
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:21,800
 the comprehensive plan is the overarching document in which we, the city, and when I

536
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,800
 say the city, the City Council, the staff, the Planning, Zoning Commission, and other

537
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:30,360
 boards and commissions should refer to in order to understand what the city's vision

538
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,880
 is and make sure that we're implementing that.

539
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:38,520
 It is a very broad and very comprehensive plan.

540
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:43,360
 It does have a lot of information and we'll talk about that.

541
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,120
 It can be taken one way or the other.

542
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:52,280
 I think the most important thing to take out of the comprehensive plan is that the community's

543
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:57,520
 vision of what the city should be and how we accomplish that can be a number of different

544
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:02,040
 things, but if we pay attention to the vision and what we want to see the city to be, I

545
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:06,760
 think that would make our jobs a lot easier.

546
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:11,000
 With that, area plans are also comprehensive planning.

547
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:16,120
 It is, again, a guiding document, but it's a little bit more refined.

548
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:23,480
 It's a little bit more down to, say, the 10,000 elevation as far as looking at an area.

549
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:28,720
 You get a little bit more defined boundaries, defined uses.

550
00:43:28,720 --> 00:43:34,400
 You're working with certain folks specifically in that area.

551
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:40,160
 The illustration I have here is the Oak Gateway area plan.

552
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:48,600
 Out of the comprehensive plan, the larger overarching document called out for neighborhood

553
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,760
 university compatibility areas.

554
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,840
 Well, what does that mean?

555
00:43:52,840 --> 00:44:00,600
 We wanted to make sure that we establish a way to provide more opportunities for these

556
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:04,600
 areas to develop in more of a compatible way.

557
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:08,600
 We know that there are neighborhoods and we know that there are universities within the

558
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:14,560
 city, we've got two, three if we count one downtown.

559
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:21,800
 But the area surrounding the university is what the future land use called out as a neighborhood

560
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,280
 university compatibility area.

561
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:30,640
 So taking that direction, we started the Oak Gateway area plan and some of you were actually

562
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:37,420
 part of that effort and we came up with recommendations and identified the areas that you see here

563
00:44:37,420 --> 00:44:42,560
 as those areas that are applicable to those recommendations.

564
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:48,240
 We first started with the north part of the area, north of the university, but we soon

565
00:44:48,240 --> 00:44:55,180
 found out that the issues that we're having in the north were also happening in the west

566
00:44:55,180 --> 00:44:58,200
 as well as to the south and to the east to a certain extent.

567
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,600
 So the area is what you see here.

568
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:09,080
 It is a large area, but again, it is an area that has similar characters, attributes and

569
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:14,800
 issues and we hope that we've developed some recommendations to address some of those issues

570
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,320
 and concerns.

571
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:21,700
 Neighborhood planning is another set under comprehensive planning.

572
00:45:21,700 --> 00:45:24,280
 We try to work hard with our neighborhoods.

573
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,200
 We meet with them as often as we can.

574
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:33,080
 There are established neighborhoods such as Sedna and Dena and East Oak.

575
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:40,200
 There's also others that we don't have, does not have an established area, but we know

576
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,600
 that they're there and so we try to work with them.

577
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:47,920
 Our community development department also works with these neighborhoods.

578
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:55,120
 So between community development, ourselves, the police department and other departments,

579
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:59,320
 there's coordination between all departments in order to help and again, back to what we're

580
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:04,480
 here for is really to improve the quality of life of our citizens and neighborhood planning

581
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:09,000
 can do that as part of that effort.

582
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:14,000
 Population projections, we want to know where we're going to be, how are we going to grow

583
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:15,800
 and again, it goes back to the comprehensive plan.

584
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:23,920
 If we want to be as big as we want to be or do we want to be able to manage that growth,

585
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:28,280
 that's going to dictate our population and understanding that population growth is important

586
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:33,960
 because that in turn establishes our infrastructure needs, our budget needs and the like.

587
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,720
 So population projection is important.

588
00:46:37,720 --> 00:46:40,520
 Coordination with local and regional entities.

589
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:49,360
 As we grow, also does our universities, our county, we need to make sure we're working

590
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:56,960
 and growing with them, DCTA, all of these entities are important in an effort to make

591
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:03,240
 sure that we're all on the same page and we share the same vision for our city.

592
00:47:03,240 --> 00:47:04,760
 Coordination with other departments.

593
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:09,240
 The comprehensive plan is not just planning, it involves all other departments.

594
00:47:09,240 --> 00:47:16,200
 I mentioned community development, the police department, you know, transportation as well

595
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:22,480
 as infrastructure and utilities, the water, waste water, all of these departments must

596
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:26,920
 understand the conference plan and use the conference plan, but we need to work together.

597
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:32,200
 So part of the comprehensive plan effort is to make sure that we're coordinating everyone's

598
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,360
 plan as we move forward.

599
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,280
 Updating plans and codes.

600
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:42,280
 Our plans are always, are going to be outdated once we adopt them and we want to make sure

601
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:48,320
 that we are in line with the existing conditions, what's happening today.

602
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:57,000
 So the current comprehensive plan was adopted in 2015, it's 2021, we're already six years

603
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,520
 into it.

604
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:02,560
 There are a lot of things that are still valid, but there are certain things that need to

605
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:03,560
 be improved on.

606
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:07,480
 So we're looking at that as part of the comprehensive plan update.

607
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:16,080
 Annexation plan, we started this back in 2010, 2009, the non-annexation agreements is a result

608
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,160
 of what happened with the annexation plan.

609
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:25,440
 We were looking to annex property, however, there were folks that were given the opportunity

610
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:29,640
 for a non-annexation agreement and that's why we have those today.

611
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:35,440
 It was supposed to last five years, that it got extended another five years and then as

612
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:40,780
 I said earlier in October of last year, the council extended it for 20 years.

613
00:48:40,780 --> 00:48:49,040
 So the plan is to bring those properties into the city for the reasons that they're completely

614
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:55,760
 surrounded by the city and so the services that we provide already are provided to those

615
00:48:55,760 --> 00:49:01,660
 areas, therefore we feel that it's necessary to bring those into the city.

616
00:49:01,660 --> 00:49:06,880
 And then special studies and projects, projects that are fun, some projects that are just

617
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:07,880
 needed.

618
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:13,800
 Parking studies, wayfinding for example, is another project that I was able to work on.

619
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:20,360
 So studies like that are always needed and then again, small area plans or area plans

620
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:27,320
 is something important that we hope to see more of in the near future.

621
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:31,240
 I won't go into this, I think most of you already know this, but for those that are

622
00:49:31,240 --> 00:49:37,720
 not familiar, the comprehensive plan is again, the plan that's overarching, has the vision

623
00:49:37,720 --> 00:49:39,280
 for the city.

624
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:44,160
 It manages growth, it promotes reinvestment, improves the quality of life, we've heard

625
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:53,600
 that a number of times, but it really is subdivided or broken up into 10 elements and these are

626
00:49:53,600 --> 00:50:01,840
 the elements from land use to economic vitality, community character and urban design, what

627
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:08,560
 our public should look like, our public areas should look like, parks conservation environment,

628
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:14,760
 mobility, housing, public safety and services, infrastructure and utilities and as you can

629
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:21,020
 see from this list, there's a lot of departments that are involved in this list or these elements.

630
00:50:21,020 --> 00:50:26,820
 We all play an important role and we all work together in order to make sure that the vision

631
00:50:26,820 --> 00:50:37,160
 that the city has established complies or is consistent with those actions that we take.

632
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:44,280
 The comprehensive plan is made up of goals, policies and actions, so there are goals that

633
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:49,660
 basically sets the general direction, policies in which how we establish that and what decision

634
00:50:49,660 --> 00:50:55,240
 makers use in making decisions and then the actions that help implement those policies

635
00:50:55,240 --> 00:50:57,880
 and ultimately achieve those goals.

636
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:01,640
 Again, those are all within each of those elements.

637
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:07,280
 Each element has a set of goals, policies and actions again in order to achieve the

638
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,040
 vision that is set forth.

639
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:18,200
 The comprehensive plan sits sort of again overarching, it applies to the various elements

640
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:24,520
 and you can see under this illustration that the plans or documents under each of those

641
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:28,440
 elements all again fall under the comprehensive plan.

642
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:33,640
 So you see the mobility plan, you see the parks and rec and trails master plan, you

643
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:39,440
 also see capital improvement plans all are under the purview of the comprehensive plan

644
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:48,920
 and again the hope is that it's working together in succinct and that the vision is met.

645
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,120
 I think some of you have seen this already.

646
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:56,520
 When it comes to development review, the comprehensive plan plays a role as well.

647
00:51:56,520 --> 00:52:01,320
 When you look at zoning cases, area plans or site plans, you also want to make sure

648
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,800
 you're looking at the comprehensive plan.

649
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:09,840
 Coming off of that, any infrastructure or utility improvements come from again starting

650
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:16,120
 with the comprehensive plan but also could be informed by an area plan or site plan and

651
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:21,160
 then all the way up from building plans to certificate of occupancy, all of which fall

652
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:26,360
 under again this illustration.

653
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:31,960
 As I said earlier, we're in that phase of the comprehensive plan update.

654
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:37,520
 It's been six years, going on seven, just want to make sure we reflect what is going

655
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:43,220
 on today and hearing from what we've heard so far, there are things that are already

656
00:52:43,220 --> 00:52:44,220
 in place.

657
00:52:44,220 --> 00:52:47,720
 I don't think we need to amend it as much but there are certain things that we want

658
00:52:47,720 --> 00:52:53,280
 to address and we are working on them as we speak.

659
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:59,120
 Initially our scope was to have our public, I'm sorry, the adoption of the comprehensive

660
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:08,160
 plan in October, however, due to the opportunity to have more in person meetings, we have scheduled

661
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:13,720
 public open houses in the month of September so we're working on that now.

662
00:53:13,720 --> 00:53:18,680
 That meant that the adoption would be extended, which is fine.

663
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:23,240
 We feel that making sure that we hear from everybody and have the opportunity to get

664
00:53:23,240 --> 00:53:29,360
 input not only virtually but also in person, so we've scheduled a number of those meetings

665
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:34,920
 coming up again in September, potentially in October, and so therefore our schedule

666
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:44,880
 has been shifted down a little bit to November, hopefully with the holidays, not past December

667
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:51,520
 and hopefully within this year we'll have an adopted comprehensive plan update.

668
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:53,480
 And that is it.

669
00:53:53,480 --> 00:54:01,040
 I appreciate the opportunity and if there's any questions or any other information that

670
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:08,320
 you would like to hear from us, again, this is really to benefit you all and as Haley

671
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:15,320
 mentioned we've got a series of boot camp topics to discuss and hopefully that helps

672
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:23,360
 you guys in when you make decisions in terms of the applications that you see come forward.

673
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:24,360
 Any questions?

674
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:29,880
 >> Any questions or additional topics you'd want to see?

675
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:30,880
 Ron I have a couple.

676
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,800
 I mentioned the developer presentation as being helpful.

677
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:37,680
 The other one, and I'm looking at the schedule and maybe this is embedded somewhere so correct

678
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:44,760
 me if I'm wrong, but what would be imminently useful and I have found in my own experience

679
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:50,640
 to be useful is a breakdown of the resources that are available to planning and zoning

680
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,240
 commissioners, especially maps.

681
00:54:53,240 --> 00:54:58,560
 So going over flu, preferred growth plan, mobility, zoning, those types of maps, as

682
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:03,920
 well as the GIS system where we can do the interactive overlays so that the commissioners

683
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:13,520
 know where to overlay a flood map onto a road map, as well as the resource that allows for

684
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:18,200
 individuals to go and look at current projects that are outstanding, that map, just a breakdown

685
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:23,080
 of those resources, those maps, because oftentimes staff will use flume and it would be helpful

686
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:27,560
 to have an anchor point of what that is or a LOMAR or those type things.

687
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:28,560
 >> Right.

688
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:35,640
 And all of those are great points and just quickly I know Cody Yates with our department

689
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:41,080
 presented at one point of all the different maps that are available online, the interactive

690
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:46,240
 maps, and we can certainly do a similar presentation, kind of refresher and show you where those

691
00:55:46,240 --> 00:55:47,920
 are on our website.

692
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:53,840
 If there are ones that you need a little bit more details, we can go into that as well.

693
00:55:53,840 --> 00:56:02,320
 I heard the FEMA map was one that we probably need to focus a little bit more and hopefully

694
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:06,960
 Haley, you got some of the other ones listed on your notes.

695
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:11,640
 >> Yeah, I think we can definitely come up with that and maybe even incorporate that

696
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:15,880
 with our next topic on zoning, show where some of those maps are available and how to

697
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:16,880
 use them.

698
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:21,200
 >> And if Cody's presentation was a video, just send out a link to that, I think would

699
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,580
 be maybe the most useful of time.

700
00:56:23,580 --> 00:56:24,580
 >> Sure.

701
00:56:24,580 --> 00:56:25,580
 Yeah, we can do that.

702
00:56:25,580 --> 00:56:28,400
 >> Any other questions or additions for Ron?

703
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:29,400
 Awesome.

704
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:33,500
 Thanks for the presentation, Ron, most helpful.

705
00:56:33,500 --> 00:56:37,800
 The next item of business on our agenda is to clarify and work through our agenda this

706
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:38,800
 evening.

707
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:44,840
 There are no minutes to consider, so we'll jump right into item two, items for individual

708
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:45,840
 consideration.

709
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:52,120
 Haley, you're listed as the first one with PP21-0014.

710
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:55,520
 >> Correct.

711
00:56:55,520 --> 00:57:00,160
 I think Ron is probably getting that pulled up.

712
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:06,400
 So the first plat on the agenda tonight is for the Primaris Service Corporation.

713
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:10,520
 This is one that's recently had a zoning change that some of you may remember located on the

714
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:17,120
 north side of town near Barthold and I-35 north.

715
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:18,120
 There we go.

716
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:23,280
 So you can see their preliminary plat here on the screen just for a single lot for a

717
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:27,960
 future warehouse and office campus type development.

718
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,360
 They are requesting an extension.

719
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:35,160
 As outlined in your backup, staff is recommending denial at this time due to a few remaining

720
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:39,560
 outstanding comments, so they've requested that extension which could be granted to a

721
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:41,160
 date of August 18th.

722
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:45,040
 Unfortunately, we don't have another meeting in early September that would fall in the

723
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:49,180
 30-day range, so they would get that two-week extension with this.

724
00:57:49,180 --> 00:57:51,200
 And I'm happy to answer any questions.

725
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:52,200
 >> Any questions for Haley?

726
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:58,960
 All right, seeing none, we'll move to the next item, 2BFP21-0017.

727
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:00,120
 This is Julie Wyatt's item.

728
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:01,120
 >> Good evening.

729
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:03,280
 Julie Wyatt, senior planner.

730
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:07,800
 This is a final plat within the Robeson Ranch neighborhood.

731
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:12,960
 It is consistent with the detail plan for Robeson Ranch and the preliminary plat that's been

732
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:13,960
 approved.

733
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:18,120
 They do still have some outstanding comments they need to work through, so staff is recommending

734
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:19,760
 denial of the request.

735
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:25,040
 However, we don't have any objection to their requested extension, which as the previous

736
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,640
 item would be August 18th.

737
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:28,800
 >> Great.

738
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:29,800
 Any questions for Julie?

739
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:37,760
 All right, seeing none, we'll move to item 2CPP21-0015, and this is Ron Manguita's item.

740
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:38,760
 >> Yes.

741
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:48,320
 Chair, members of the commission, this application is for preliminary plat for area just in the

742
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:53,440
 airport area, sorry, south of Jim Crystal and just north of the airport.

743
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:58,320
 The applicant just submitted preliminary plat, however, their comments, there are still comments

744
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:05,320
 that are outstanding, specifically related to drainage and gas well-related comments.

745
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:07,600
 Therefore, staff is recommending denial.

746
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:13,400
 However, the applicant has requested an extension, a 30-day extension, and again, as mentioned

747
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:20,240
 earlier, because of the schedule, the date certain would be August 18th if the commission

748
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:22,600
 were to accept the extension.

749
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:23,600
 >> Great.

750
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:24,600
 Thank you.

751
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:26,480
 Any questions for Ron?

752
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:27,940
 Okay.

753
00:59:27,940 --> 00:59:30,720
 That ends our items for individual consideration.

754
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:34,520
 On the public hearing front, when we're in regular meeting, this item is being requested

755
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:40,040
 to be postponed, but I will open the hearing and ask for a motion to extend to a date certain

756
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:43,720
 of the 18th?

757
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:44,720
 >> August 4th.

758
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:45,720
 >> August 4th.

759
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:47,360
 It says that there.

760
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:48,360
 I can read.

761
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:49,360
 Sorry.

762
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:53,160
 With that, that concludes our agenda for this evening.

763
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:54,620
 I will close the meeting at 6.06.

764
00:59:54,620 --> 01:00:00,120
 We'll be back here at 6.30.

765
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:05,580
 Thank you.

766
01:00:05,580 --> 01:00:08,840
 Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Planning and Zoning Commission regular

767
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:12,760
 meeting for Wednesday, July 28th, 2021.

768
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:16,320
 Seeing that we have a quorum, I'll call the meeting to order at 6.31.

769
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:21,080
 I just want to let the record show that Commissioner Smith is not with us this evening.

770
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:25,240
 The first item of business this evening is to stand and provide a Pledge of Allegiance

771
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:28,080
 to the U.S. and Texas flag.

772
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:46,760
 I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for

773
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:55,040
 which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

774
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:56,040
 Under the Texas flag, I pledge allegiance to the Texas state for which it stands, one

775
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:57,040
 nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

776
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:58,040
 The next item of business is the items for individual consideration.

777
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:05,040
 The item is item 2A, PP21-0014, with Haley Zagurski presenting.

778
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:12,600
 All right, I think Julie is coming down to pull up that presentation, but just very briefly,

779
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:17,960
 this is a preliminary plat for a single lot for a commercial or light industrial type

780
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:18,960
 use.

781
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:21,100
 It will be an office campus with some warehouse components.

782
01:01:21,100 --> 01:01:24,800
 At this time, the plat does not meet all of the requirements, so staff has recommended

783
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:30,880
 denial for the reasons outlined in your backup, however, the applicant has requested an extension

784
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:36,000
 that could be granted to a date of August 18th, and I'm happy to answer any questions.

785
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:37,000
 Thanks, Haley.

786
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:42,200
 Any questions for Haley?

787
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,200
 Seeing none, we can do a motion.

788
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:46,200
 Commissioner Anderson?

789
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:50,960
 Make a motion to postpone to date certain of August 18th.

790
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:58,640
 Date 18, and just to clarify, you wanted to deny the motion to extend the 30 days, got

791
01:01:58,640 --> 01:01:59,640
 you.

792
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:05,800
 Well, recommend the postponement to the date, right?

793
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:06,800
 Yep.

794
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:07,800
 We're good.

795
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:08,800
 You again, I was saying, yes.

796
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:09,800
 Yep, we're good.

797
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:10,800
 Commissioner Ellis?

798
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:11,800
 Second.

799
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:16,240
 We have a first and a second to deny the application and grant the 30 day extension to a date certain

800
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:19,080

 This is FP21-0017.

817
01:02:49,660 --> 01:02:54,400
 It's a final plat for a residential subdivision within the Robeson Ranch development.

818
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:59,000
 They do have a couple of other items they need to correct before staff can recommend

819
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:00,000
 approval.

820
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:03,680
 However, they have requested an extension and staff has no objection to that extension

821
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:05,720
 to the August 18th meeting.

822
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:06,720

 Any questions for Julie?

825
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:09,720
 Okay.

826
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:10,720
 Commissioner Ellis?

827
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:17,080

 Commissioner Anderson?

831
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:21,080
 Second.

832
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:24,800
 We have a first and a second to deny the application but approve the 30-day extension to a date

833
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,600
 certain of August 18th, 2021.

834
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:30,480
 Is there any discussion on this?

835
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:32,560
 Seeing none, I call for a vote via roll call.

836
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:33,560
 Commissioner Pruitt?

837
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:34,560

847
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:53,680
 Thank you, Chair, members of the commission.

848
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:59,400
 This is an application for Pilmer Platt for an area south of Jim Crystal, just north of

849
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:02,720
 the Den Airport.

850
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:09,960
 Due to items or comments not fully addressed by the applicant specifically related to drainage

851
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:14,640
 and gas well, the staff is recommending denial of this Pilmer Platt application.

852
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:21,360
 However, staff has no objections to the requested extension, which is to grant it to a date

853
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:23,440
 certain of August 18th.

854
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:24,440

860
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:37,680
 Were you raising your hand?

861
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:38,680
 Nope.

862
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:39,680
 Gotcha.

863
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:40,680
