WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.720
 Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Planning and Zoning Commission work

00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:09.720
 session.

00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:13.760
 It is for Wednesday, July 28th, 2021.

00:00:13.760 --> 00:00:17.680
 Seeing that we have a quorum, I will call the meeting to order at 5.06.

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:21.440
 Let the record show that Commissioner Smith is absent this evening.

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.

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

00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.160
 come back for the clarification of agenda items?

00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:33.160
 Yes.

00:00:33.160 --> 00:00:34.160
 Perfect.

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

00:00:42.040 --> 00:00:45.680
 a discussion regarding the overall development process and comprehensive planning.

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:48.640
 Thank you, Chair, members of the Commission.

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

00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:54.840
 presentation.

00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.080
 Yeah, if you want to pull that up, Ron.

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

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

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

00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:10.600
 you all.

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

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:18.400
 101, what are our processes, what applications does P&Z see.

00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.320
 And then Ron will give us an overview regarding comprehensive planning.

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,

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

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.240
 and we can certainly add those to the future calendar.

00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:33.240
 Great.

00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:37.120
 So I'll go ahead and get started.

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.

00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:46.600
 So it is the code that we use, the Planning Department and obviously the Planning Zoning

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

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

00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:05.720
 or our staff reports, that is, often references the Denton Development Code.

00:02:05.720 --> 00:02:09.880
 Just a couple of bullets here that kind of explain what the Development Code stands for

00:02:09.880 --> 00:02:10.880
 or what it is for.

00:02:10.880 --> 00:02:15.080
 Obviously the intent here is to promote the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens

00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:16.080
 of Denton.

00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.160
 It implements the comprehensive plan.

00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:22.880
 The comprehensive plan, it's the overarching document which we'll talk about in a little

00:02:22.880 --> 00:02:28.040
 bit, but the zoning and the Development Code implements the comprehensive plan.

00:02:28.040 --> 00:02:32.880
 Protects the environment, the natural environment, improves our city's appearance, improves our

00:02:32.880 --> 00:02:38.000
 mobility, our public infrastructure, making sure that we have that in place, makes sure

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.120
 that we have appropriate land uses where they should be, and then establishes the procedures.

00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:47.920
 In fact, the first element or first chapter of the Denton Development Code is the procedures

00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:55.200
 and administration which sets the process for which our applications are reviewed under

00:02:55.200 --> 00:02:59.080
 and presented to you all.

00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.080
 I skipped the slide here.

00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:06.900
 The tools that we use that is again covered in our Denton Development Code starts with

00:03:06.900 --> 00:03:09.920
 zoning and that is chapter three.

00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:13.460
 So chapter two is administration and procedures.

00:03:13.460 --> 00:03:20.160
 Chapter three is zoning and zoning again, we have 17 different zoning districts in the

00:03:20.160 --> 00:03:23.680
 city and it is presented in a zoning map.

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.

00:03:28.600 --> 00:03:34.620
 Planning is another set of applications that the planning zoning primarily is the approving

00:03:34.620 --> 00:03:41.600
 body in which you, again, approve with conditions or deny with reasons.

00:03:41.600 --> 00:03:48.040
 Plan standards go along with all the other applications that we process, specifically

00:03:48.040 --> 00:03:53.840
 site, sorry, conceptual site plans, what are they?

00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.640
 Zoning compliance plans, sorry, we changed it a couple times, so the zoning compliance

00:03:57.640 --> 00:04:02.200
 plan are what we also as known to is site plan.

00:04:02.200 --> 00:04:06.920
 We refer to the development standards in order to make sure that those plans are consistent

00:04:06.920 --> 00:04:10.720
 with the development code, in that sense, the development standards.

00:04:10.720 --> 00:04:16.100
 In addition, criteria manuals are not in the development code, but rather are separate

00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:23.980
 documents that mainly are engineering requirements, technical requirements, and so they're covered

00:04:23.980 --> 00:04:26.120
 under the criteria manuals.

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

00:04:31.080 --> 00:04:33.040
 to individuals as well.

00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:38.760
 Process, again, we talked about that being that is sub-chapter two of the Denton Development

00:04:38.760 --> 00:04:45.680
 Code has all the different application types, who reviews it, who approves it, and then

00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:49.560
 ultimately, if there's an appeal, who can it be appealed to?

00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:54.160
 So we'll get into that as we get through some of the application types.

00:04:54.160 --> 00:05:02.120
 But really, before we do that, the development review process, there are five steps from

00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:05.540
 feasibility all the way down to project completion.

00:05:05.540 --> 00:05:12.320
 Everything in between is covered under object applications, stage two, stage three pre-construction,

00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:16.280
 and then construction permitting inspections before we get to completion.

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.

00:05:23.080 --> 00:05:27.820
 Throughout the development review process, there are a number of departments involved

00:05:27.820 --> 00:05:30.040
 in the review.

00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:36.840
 We have our development facilitators, and we have three really good facilitators that

00:05:36.840 --> 00:05:42.720
 help make sure that our projects run smoothly or go through the process smoothly.

00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.040
 They manage this process, in essence.

00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:53.880
 They include three members of development services, and in addition to the facilitators,

00:05:53.880 --> 00:06:00.480
 we also have other departments that provide input and comments regarding applications.

00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:06.960
 Engineering, the engineering department is actually supplemented by a third party, HR

00:06:06.960 --> 00:06:09.920
 Green, who does that third party review.

00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:14.840
 There's obviously coordination between them and our engineers in-house.

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.

00:06:23.080 --> 00:06:27.000
 Planning, that involves the planners and planning technicians.

00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:31.000
 The planning technicians are really those that take in the applications.

00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.720
 Planners are the ones that review it and present it to the various boards and commissions,

00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:37.440
 such as the planning zoning commission.

00:06:37.440 --> 00:06:42.440
 Building safety, because building safety also has a part in the development review process,

00:06:42.440 --> 00:06:44.960
 in the end of the process, they're going to be involved.

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

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.

00:06:55.560 --> 00:07:00.920
 They include plans examiners, building inspectors, as well as health inspectors, if there is

00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.840
 a need for their review.

00:07:03.840 --> 00:07:09.520
 Public works inspections, also a very important reviewer, as mentioned earlier.

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

00:07:12.320 --> 00:07:17.640
 very beginning, provide the comments and review in advance, that will help the project and

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

00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:23.560
 project.

00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:28.480
 We also have subject matter experts that don't necessarily have a review of every project,

00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:33.960
 but when there is a need for them, we have them for a reviewer.

00:07:33.960 --> 00:07:41.000
 Fire, watershed division, the parks department, electric, which is DME, as well as, again,

00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:45.220
 our consultant engineers in various disciplines.

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

00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:53.560
 needed and there's a lot that needs to be covered.

00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:57.760
 All right, phase, I'm sorry, stage one, feasibility.

00:07:57.760 --> 00:08:04.840
 This is really understanding if this project is feasible or not, and what we offer the

00:08:04.840 --> 00:08:10.380
 community is a pre-application conference, and some of you may have heard of them.

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

00:08:18.100 --> 00:08:23.440
 that I just discussed or presented, and have an opportunity to sit down and identify what

00:08:23.440 --> 00:08:26.580
 things that they need to be looking at.

00:08:26.580 --> 00:08:30.840
 There are sometimes more planning-related items.

00:08:30.840 --> 00:08:35.820
 There are sometimes more engineering-related items, but we all work together in identifying

00:08:35.820 --> 00:08:40.760
 what those comments and those issues are, and hopefully we resolve them so that when

00:08:40.760 --> 00:08:47.460
 they submit an application, it is as smooth as possible and as less comments as possible

00:08:47.460 --> 00:08:51.080
 so that they can get through in a quick manner.

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

00:08:55.260 --> 00:09:00.440
 a free option for developers to do.

00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:04.200
 They basically go online, submit their requests.

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

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

00:09:13.760 --> 00:09:18.920
 a little bit more discussion and is a little bit more complex, one will be scheduled.

00:09:18.920 --> 00:09:22.280
 They're typically set for Wednesdays.

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

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,

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,

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

00:09:43.920 --> 00:09:45.560
 conference is provided.

00:09:45.560 --> 00:09:47.480
 They have their next steps.

00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:51.200
 Hopefully they have the direction that they need to move forward with their project, and

00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:59.640
 we can, again, see their application in a less -- more complete submittal.

00:09:59.640 --> 00:10:06.760
 Applications, these are the list of applications that we have available, and when I say applications,

00:10:06.760 --> 00:10:08.240
 these are projects.

00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:10.880
 We don't have listed here the permit types.

00:10:10.880 --> 00:10:12.620
 Those are something separate.

00:10:12.620 --> 00:10:18.120
 We're going to focus on projects, so under applications, obviously annexations, we are

00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:22.960
 actually in the process of presenting one to city council next week.

00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:27.640
 We received an application for this just a couple weeks ago, so we're moving forward

00:10:27.640 --> 00:10:29.840
 with an annexation.

00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:35.800
 Entitlements, the zoning changes, the comp plan amendments, you've seen some of those

00:10:35.800 --> 00:10:36.800
 already.

00:10:36.800 --> 00:10:40.880
 SUPs, I think there's ones that are coming up.

00:10:40.880 --> 00:10:46.160
 Here's the zoning compliance plan, which I messed up earlier, again, site plan.

00:10:46.160 --> 00:10:53.400
 Polymer plots, which is an approval by the planning zoning commission.

00:10:53.400 --> 00:10:58.780
 Civil engineering plans go after polymer plots and before final plots.

00:10:58.780 --> 00:11:03.880
 Civil engineering plans are primarily a staff-approved application.

00:11:03.880 --> 00:11:07.480
 Final plots, you've seen these come through the planning zoning commission and then building

00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:08.480
 permits.

00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:15.740
 So those are typically the process or sequence in which one submits an application.

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,

00:11:20.800 --> 00:11:26.880
 they go straight to a zoning compliance plan, and if the property is already plotted and

00:11:26.880 --> 00:11:30.200
 does not need to be plotted, they can go straight to building permits.

00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:35.400
 So again, it's just dependent on what the situation is on that site.

00:11:35.400 --> 00:11:39.320
 Sometimes they need all of it, sometimes they just can go straight to building permits.

00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:44.840
 We also have supporting application types in the form of an alternative ESA plan, and

00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:52.800
 that is where the established ESA designation on our ESA map is where an applicant wants

00:11:52.800 --> 00:11:55.620
 to develop over or through.

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.

00:12:01.040 --> 00:12:03.240
 Now, that is not guaranteed.

00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:08.440
 That is something that goes through this, the body, as well as the city council.

00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:13.040
 Ultimately, the planning zoning commission makes a recommendation, and city council makes

00:12:13.040 --> 00:12:18.440
 the decision on either to approve or deny the alternative ESA plan.

00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:25.520
 The traffic impact analysis, the drainage studies, the tech stop permits, are all staff

00:12:25.520 --> 00:12:28.180
 approved applications.

00:12:28.180 --> 00:12:32.280
 You don't see them, but they are applications that are submitted and reviewed.

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,

00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:41.640
 and then the easement, right away abandonment, and encroachments are all applications that

00:12:41.640 --> 00:12:48.220
 are submitted, and if it includes a utility easement, they do go to the public utilities

00:12:48.220 --> 00:12:54.200
 board for their recommendation, but ultimately, city council considers and approves or denies

00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:56.200
 the application.

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?

00:13:02.280 --> 00:13:05.920
 Just want to make sure we have an opportunity to ask questions.

00:13:05.920 --> 00:13:06.920
 Okay.

00:13:06.920 --> 00:13:08.840
 We'll go ahead.

00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:14.640
 Ron, just for clarification, not all of those applications will come to P&Z, correct?

00:13:14.640 --> 00:13:16.040
 No, not all of them.

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

00:13:19.920 --> 00:13:24.000
 planning zoning commissions and which ones do not.

00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:29.680
 So perfect segue, Chair, we're going to talk about those application types a little bit

00:13:29.680 --> 00:13:34.600
 more in detail, and again, identifying which ones do come to the planning zoning commissions

00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:36.640
 and which ones do not.

00:13:36.640 --> 00:13:39.160
 First one is annexation.

00:13:39.160 --> 00:13:41.600
 This does not come to the planning zoning commission.

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,

00:13:46.880 --> 00:13:49.720
 and the city council is the decision-making body.

00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:55.520
 A comprehensive plan amendment is one that we look at either the future land use map,

00:13:55.520 --> 00:14:00.220
 the mobility plan, the infrastructure plan, any housing plan, any plan that's under the

00:14:00.220 --> 00:14:06.420
 comprehensive plan will need to be brought forward through the planning zoning commission

00:14:06.420 --> 00:14:09.320
 for their recommendation and ultimately city council.

00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:14.600
 Again, if they're trying to amend, they being the applicant trying to amend the comprehensive

00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:15.720
 plan.

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

00:14:22.680 --> 00:14:28.320
 bit later, but again, the amendments do come to the planning zoning commission for your

00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.880
 recommendation.

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,

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

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

00:14:52.640 --> 00:14:57.920
 is what we refer to as ETJ, Extraterritorial Jurisdiction.

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

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.

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

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,

00:15:34.680 --> 00:15:43.560
 if it expands westward, so will the ETJ boundary, it will expand westward as well.

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

00:15:48.920 --> 00:15:54.620
 further west, so it can only expand where there is no ETJ or city limits.

00:15:54.620 --> 00:16:00.960
 You can see that Crum, Ponder, Sanger, and to a certain degree, Pilot Point all have

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

00:16:08.400 --> 00:16:15.620
 surround them and go around their ETJ boundaries, and that's what has happened with, again,

00:16:15.620 --> 00:16:17.320
 those cities in particular.

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.

00:16:23.660 --> 00:16:27.280
 Those are areas where we have non-annexation agreements in place, so you might hear us

00:16:27.280 --> 00:16:29.760
 use that term sometimes with platts.

00:16:29.760 --> 00:16:33.440
 Those are areas that are technically still in our ETJ, but council has approved an agreement

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

00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:41.120
 with more than a single family or agricultural use.

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

00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:46.320
 at 20-year?

00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:47.320
 20 years, yes.

00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:48.320
 20-year agreements, so.

00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:54.680
 Last year, the city council approved an extension of those agreements to 2040, August 1st of

00:16:54.680 --> 00:16:55.680
 2040.

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.

00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:04.120
 But no, thank you for that, Haley, and you're right.

00:17:04.120 --> 00:17:09.520
 If there is a development proposed in those non-annexation areas, that is not single family

00:17:09.520 --> 00:17:11.320
 or agricultural use.

00:17:11.320 --> 00:17:17.000
 The agreement states that they will voluntarily annex, and that is what has happened in the

00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:19.440
 annexation I was referring to earlier.

00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:25.360
 They're wanting to develop that site, and therefore would require to be annexed into

00:17:25.360 --> 00:17:26.360
 the city.

00:17:26.360 --> 00:17:31.640
 So they're voluntarily annexing their property into the city because they're wanting to develop

00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:32.640
 that property.

00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:37.160
 And again, that property has a non-annexation agreement, and that's what Haley's referring

00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:41.200
 to.

00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:45.920
 Zoning amendment, or rezoning, often referred to.

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

00:17:53.080 --> 00:17:57.800
 property, does not have the allowed uses allowed under that zoning district.

00:17:57.800 --> 00:18:03.160
 So they have to go to a different zoning district in order to develop that use.

00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:10.160
 Or their dimensional standards, their setbacks, their building height, or their lot dimensions

00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:13.740
 are not in compliance with a zoning district.

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.

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.

00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:30.960
 We also have the development code amendments under this category.

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

00:18:36.800 --> 00:18:39.560
 category of the zoning amendment.

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,

00:18:44.840 --> 00:18:47.440
 and then ultimately the City Council.

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.

00:18:54.200 --> 00:19:00.200
 Again, the public hearings, specifically to some of the zoning, particularly, you know,

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,

00:19:08.320 --> 00:19:13.440
 but they do affect the City Council's voting for approval.

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

00:19:19.280 --> 00:19:24.960
 200 feet, they will require a supermajority at City Council.

00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:31.760
 And similarly, if the Planning Zoning Commission denies an application, the City Council will

00:19:31.760 --> 00:19:40.960
 require a supermajority to approve that application.

00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:45.600
 This slide here just illustrates the zoning districts that we have in the City.

00:19:45.600 --> 00:19:51.880
 You can see from the top row here, it goes from residential, rural residential, all the

00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:57.840
 way through the residential zoning districts, mixed use, corridor, other non-residential

00:19:57.840 --> 00:20:03.680
 zoning districts, only to PF, which is public facilities.

00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:08.560
 Within this table, you can see that the uses are listed to the left.

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

00:20:14.600 --> 00:20:17.200
 developed in that zoning district.

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

00:20:24.800 --> 00:20:32.080
 the Planning Zoning Commission for your recommendation, and ultimately City Council's consideration.

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,

00:20:40.280 --> 00:20:44.840
 use specific standards associated with that requirement or that use.

00:20:44.840 --> 00:20:52.480
 So, for example, we use, let me see, medical office, for example.

00:20:52.480 --> 00:21:00.520
 Medical office in the MN zoning district is permitted but has a plus associated with it.

00:21:00.520 --> 00:21:06.320
 What that means is a developer or whoever is requesting to develop that medical center

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

00:21:14.840 --> 00:21:18.400
 use specific standards associated with that use.

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

00:21:27.040 --> 00:21:28.480
 of development.

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

00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:36.440
 uses.

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

00:21:42.040 --> 00:21:46.680
 or a pre-application and someone wants to develop a medical office and they happen to

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

00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:55.280
 as the use specific standards.

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,

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

00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:13.240
 choose to, pick a zoning district in which they would, you know, consider rezoning.

00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:18.960
 And, again, that is an option for them or they can choose either another property or

00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:25.120
 choose another use in which to develop.

00:22:25.120 --> 00:22:30.440
 Plan development, we see this as well, not as often.

00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:37.720
 The idea of a plan development is to allow some flexibility where the developer may not

00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:45.880
 have the ability to meet all the requirements, but is willing to provide enhanced design,

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

00:22:53.320 --> 00:22:55.360
 for the development.

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

00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:11.120
 that flexibility to said developer, but also require and ask for additional enhancement

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

00:23:16.600 --> 00:23:17.600
 forward.

00:23:17.600 --> 00:23:22.080
 This requires a planning zoning commission recommendation and ultimately city council

00:23:22.080 --> 00:23:27.320
 consideration.

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

00:23:34.760 --> 00:23:36.000
 a PD.

00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:38.720
 It's a PD that has been in place for some time.

00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:44.960
 You can see that the area has fully developed.

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,

00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:55.280
 and so this area is a PD.

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

00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:06.560
 well as a commercial component at the corner of Teasley and Robinson again.

00:24:06.560 --> 00:24:11.560
 So this development came in with commercial, residential and open space.

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

00:24:18.280 --> 00:24:27.440
 layout, the drainage, but all of the other amenities that it offers to the city.

00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:29.620
 Specific use permit is what I spoke about earlier.

00:24:29.620 --> 00:24:34.240
 So again, there is an S associated with that use.

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

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

00:24:46.320 --> 00:24:51.800
 that it may have on adjacent properties and if so, there's opportunities for the Planning

00:24:51.800 --> 00:24:57.480
 Zoning Commission, the staff as well, and ultimately City Council to provide or ask

00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:05.080
 for conditions so that it would mitigate whatever impact that may have come up associated with

00:25:05.080 --> 00:25:06.640
 the review.

00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:13.280
 For example, if there is a traffic issue, there could be a mitigation or a condition

00:25:13.280 --> 00:25:17.320
 to add a certain amount of lanes or right turn lanes.

00:25:17.320 --> 00:25:19.600
 That's just something that can be done.

00:25:19.600 --> 00:25:23.160
 There's a lot of other requirements or conditions that can be placed.

00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:27.400
 Again, that specific use permit allows you the ability to do so.

00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:29.640
 This is a little bit more formal.

00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:34.680
 There's also obviously the PD that offers you to provide those additional enhancement

00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:40.540
 of those requirements, but this calls it out specifically in that table of allowed uses.

00:25:40.540 --> 00:25:43.560
 So that's why it's sort of dealt differently.

00:25:43.560 --> 00:25:48.080
 Again, this does come through the Planning Zoning Commission and your recommendation

00:25:48.080 --> 00:25:51.840
 is forwarded to the City Council.

00:25:51.840 --> 00:25:58.000
 With a specific use permit, we require the applicant to submit a site plan, a landscape

00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:01.600
 plan, and any infrastructure analysis as well.

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

00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:12.480
 requirements of the Denson Development Code, Criterion Manual, and other codes associated

00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:14.000
 with development.

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.

00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:24.640
 It would be binding.

00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:25.640
 That's the word I was looking for.

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

00:26:29.760 --> 00:26:32.040
 plan, with the landscape plan.

00:26:32.040 --> 00:26:37.080
 Now there are opportunities to deviate, but not much.

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

00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:45.720
 requirements.

00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:50.160
 The applicant can deviate 5%, but anything more than that, it would have to come back

00:26:50.160 --> 00:26:57.280
 to the Planning Zoning Commission and ultimately again City Council.

00:26:57.280 --> 00:27:01.400
 Environmental sensitive areas, we talked about the alternative ESA plan already.

00:27:01.400 --> 00:27:07.160
 We do have a number of ESAs that are identified in our ESA map.

00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:12.680
 Cross Timbers Upland Habitat, riparian buffers, and other water-related ESA, and the undeveloped

00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:13.960
 flood plain.

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

00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:26.640
 our pre-application conference, if they show any encroachment or any building over ESAs,

00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:30.920
 we let them know that that is not allowed, or there are certain mitigations that you

00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:31.920
 need to comply.

00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:38.920
 If they, in their efforts to develop the property, want to continue with that encroachment, the

00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:42.040
 alternative ESA plan is an option for them.

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

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

00:27:54.260 --> 00:27:55.260
 they can impact.

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

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

00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:14.440
 fully increasing the impact to the ESA.

00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:15.680
 This is the map I'm referring to.

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

00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:31.080
 habitats, the areas that are in the lighter purple and towards darker purple and blueish

00:28:31.080 --> 00:28:34.440
 color are your riparian water related habitats.

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,

00:28:41.560 --> 00:28:44.320
 within the city that is, that have ESA.

00:28:44.320 --> 00:28:51.760
 Again, any development that encroaches or impacts an ESA designation will not be allowed

00:28:51.760 --> 00:28:55.600
 or have to go through the alternative ESA plan.

00:28:55.600 --> 00:28:57.640
 All right.

00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:05.520
 Next is our subdivision applications, preliminary plat, final plat, replat, and vacating plat.

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

00:29:12.120 --> 00:29:19.320
 which the city, the approving body, in this case the Planning Zoning Commission, which

00:29:19.320 --> 00:29:26.680
 is the approving body for these plats, has 30 days to consider a plat.

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

00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:35.160
 before that 30 days.

00:29:35.160 --> 00:29:39.560
 If for whatever reason it does not, it automatically gets approved.

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

00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:52.540
 sure that we schedule our applications, our submittal applications, so that we have the

00:29:52.540 --> 00:29:55.680
 time in which to review the applications.

00:29:55.680 --> 00:30:00.760
 And given the 30 days, there is about two reviews built in.

00:30:00.760 --> 00:30:07.400
 So the applicant comes in, has a review, we provide comments, one review, they have another

00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:12.920
 opportunity to resubmit, we then review and then provide comments again.

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

00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:18.440
 Zoning Commission.

00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:23.840
 And if they haven't addressed all their comments, it's a recommendation of denial.

00:30:23.840 --> 00:30:28.080
 They have the option for a one-time 30-day extension.

00:30:28.080 --> 00:30:33.280
 Most applicants do take that option, because if they do not, and say the Planning Zoning

00:30:33.280 --> 00:30:40.340
 Commission denies the application, the denial is basically given to the application.

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

00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:49.220
 fee in which they submitted that application.

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.

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

00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:05.660
 they resubmit, they have to pay the $2,500.

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.

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

00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:20.680
 reviews as possible.

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.

00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:33.160
 It's just to overall plan the area, site layout, identify where the infrastructures are, identify

00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:36.680
 any access and the like.

00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:40.800
 In between the preliminary plat and the final plat is civil engineering plans.

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

00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:47.480
 into a final plat.

00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:52.000
 That information is then put into a final plat, and again, both the preliminary plat

00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:58.180
 and final plat are a Planning Zoning Commission consideration, approved with conditions or

00:31:58.180 --> 00:32:00.060
 denied with reasons.

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

00:32:08.120 --> 00:32:09.880
 to subdivide that.

00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:12.860
 In order to do that, they would need to apply for a replat.

00:32:12.860 --> 00:32:15.760
 So that is where that comes in.

00:32:15.760 --> 00:32:18.120
 We also have minor replats.

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

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.

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

00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:44.480
 this board, and it is the Planning Zoning Commission's final decision.

00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:50.640
 You've all seen plats, and we obviously have several in our backup this afternoon.

00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:55.340
 The main things that we're looking for here in this final replat is really, obviously,

00:32:55.340 --> 00:32:57.840
 the location of the plat.

00:32:57.840 --> 00:33:02.200
 What are the encumbrance in terms of easements or dedications?

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

00:33:07.700 --> 00:33:09.920
 dimensional standards?

00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:17.440
 Other administrative needs or requirements include a north arrow, approval block, a legend

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

00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:30.300
 the information of each of the final plats that you receive, dedication, and then a meets

00:33:30.300 --> 00:33:31.960
 and bounds legal description.

00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:38.000
 Again, important to establish the boundaries of this plat or a plat.

00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:41.200
 All right.

00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:44.760
 Before moving forward, are there any questions related to the type of applications we've

00:33:44.760 --> 00:33:49.560
 already discussed, platting, SUPs, rezonings, or comp line-up?

00:33:49.560 --> 00:33:50.560
 Yes.

00:33:50.560 --> 00:33:51.560
 Christian McDade.

00:33:51.560 --> 00:33:58.640
 Yeah, I just need you to go through something for me.

00:33:58.640 --> 00:33:59.640
 Yes.

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

00:34:07.760 --> 00:34:08.760
 understand that.

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

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

00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:19.880
 going on?

00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:20.880
 Sure.

00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:28.920
 Obviously, FEMA is obviously the jurisdiction that controls the floodplain within the United

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

00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:41.400
 floodplain and then our floodway, so really the floodway is where water runs, and then

00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:47.400
 the 100-year floodplain is the area outside of that floodway where in 100 years there

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

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

00:35:00.120 --> 00:35:02.120
 to avoid the floodway.

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

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

00:35:15.720 --> 00:35:23.080
 not happening within 500 years, but the 100-year floodplain is more likely because it could

00:35:23.080 --> 00:35:24.560
 happen within 100 years.

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

00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:33.160
 would they go to to get that?

00:35:33.160 --> 00:35:40.040
 So we have a floodplain administrator in the city, but our drainage department, again,

00:35:40.040 --> 00:35:43.440
 they would obviously work with them.

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

00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:55.200
 questions, but we'll definitely start with either a call to the development services

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.

00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:05.240
 All righty, thank you.

00:36:05.240 --> 00:36:11.480
 Okay, so stage three, that is pre-construction.

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,

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

00:36:22.040 --> 00:36:24.480
 phase of your development.

00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:31.560
 In order to start either the public or the private utilities, there are needs for these

00:36:31.560 --> 00:36:37.480
 documents or these contracts in order to protect the city's interests.

00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:44.720
 Before anything is done, a pre-construction meeting is held to, again, to identify what

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

00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:56.720
 end, after the pre-construction meeting, after all that's been discussed, a notice to proceed

00:36:56.720 --> 00:37:02.720
 is provided and they can start working on their development in terms of installing utilities.

00:37:02.720 --> 00:37:10.680
 Of course, that usually goes in prior and then following that, the building permit,

00:37:10.680 --> 00:37:14.120
 which is stage four, construction permitting and inspections.

00:37:14.120 --> 00:37:20.660
 So during the construction, there's obviously onsite inspections to make sure that the roads

00:37:20.660 --> 00:37:27.080
 are laid out, the paths are established, any change orders, follow-up questions.

00:37:27.080 --> 00:37:30.000
 The building permit is reviewed and issued.

00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:33.760
 Again, this is all building code related.

00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:35.600
 There's nothing to do with the development code.

00:37:35.600 --> 00:37:39.360
 It is reviewed under a building safety department.

00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:45.280
 They have their building codes, their fire codes, electric codes.

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

00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:53.480
 have to make sure that they comply with those codes.

00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:59.020
 Once it starts to develop, it starts to be constructed, there are onsite inspections

00:37:59.020 --> 00:38:03.840
 and then ultimately, any questions that needs to be addressed will be done during the construction

00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:06.020
 stage or phase.

00:38:06.020 --> 00:38:13.200
 And then finalization, obviously there needs to be an inspection, final walk-throughs,

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

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

00:38:23.560 --> 00:38:25.880
 the specifications.

00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:32.920
 There's a final walk-through and ultimately, the inspector giving the project their final

00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:39.320
 review inspections will then, we will issue a certificate of occupancy in which they can

00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:43.840
 now occupy the building from that point on.

00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:53.440
 Okay, so that was basically the application of the development review process from pre-application

00:38:53.440 --> 00:39:01.520
 all the way through platting and then building inspections or building permit review.

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

00:39:07.040 --> 00:39:11.280
 review process before I go into comprehensive planning.

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

00:39:17.120 --> 00:39:23.940
 to our new planning zoning commissioners if there are any questions related to application

00:39:23.940 --> 00:39:28.480
 types, processes, or anything of the like.

00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:29.480
 Commissioner Pruitt.

00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:31.480
 Yeah, just one.

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.

00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:38.960
 Yes.

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

00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:45.840
 those offered free?

00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:49.920
 Those are, there are no fees associated with it, no charges associated with the pre-application

00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:50.920
 or the pre-construction.

00:39:50.920 --> 00:39:51.920
 Thank you.

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

00:39:58.240 --> 00:40:02.560
 the matrix for another planning session, but I think it would be interesting to have a

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

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

00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:19.640
 with the city, but they are incurring engineering costs, planning costs, all those services

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

00:40:24.640 --> 00:40:27.360
 is doing a lot of significant work.

00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:32.800
 It might be helpful to understand that level of work that's happened behind the scenes

00:40:32.800 --> 00:40:36.880
 on both the city and the applicant side before it comes to P&Z.

00:40:36.880 --> 00:40:38.000
 No, I think that's a great idea.

00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:43.800
 I think understanding the full development review process from both sides is important.

00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:44.800
 Great.

00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:46.800
 Thanks, Ron.

00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:51.440
 Okay, so we'll go into comprehensive planning.

00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:52.840
 I'll just share a quick story.

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

00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:02.200
 as a senior planner to work on our comprehensive planning.

00:41:02.200 --> 00:41:07.000
 At that time, development review was obviously the main thing, and it still continues to

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

00:41:12.720 --> 00:41:16.300
 comprehensive planning, and so what does that mean?

00:41:16.300 --> 00:41:17.300
 What is comprehensive planning?

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

00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:26.960
 used that in the city of Den, in what I've done.

00:41:26.960 --> 00:41:31.640
 Obviously implementation of the comprehensive plan, when I first joined the city, the comprehensive

00:41:31.640 --> 00:41:37.520
 plan that was done was done back in 2000, 1999 specifically, so it had been already

00:41:37.520 --> 00:41:42.880
 five years and already implemented.

00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:47.800
 There was a lot of actions and strategies in that comprehensive plan.

00:41:47.800 --> 00:41:52.960
 ESA was one, the tree preservation was one that kind of came out of that comprehensive

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

00:41:58.600 --> 00:42:03.600
 carried that forward as well, or carried forward the comprehensive plan.

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

00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:10.240
 plan update currently being done.

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

00:42:15.680 --> 00:42:21.800
 the comprehensive plan is the overarching document in which we, the city, and when I

00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:25.800
 say the city, the City Council, the staff, the Planning, Zoning Commission, and other

00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:30.360
 boards and commissions should refer to in order to understand what the city's vision

00:42:30.360 --> 00:42:32.880
 is and make sure that we're implementing that.

00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:38.520
 It is a very broad and very comprehensive plan.

00:42:38.520 --> 00:42:43.360
 It does have a lot of information and we'll talk about that.

00:42:43.360 --> 00:42:45.120
 It can be taken one way or the other.

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

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

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

00:43:02.040 --> 00:43:06.760
 think that would make our jobs a lot easier.

00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:11.000
 With that, area plans are also comprehensive planning.

00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:16.120
 It is, again, a guiding document, but it's a little bit more refined.

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.

00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:28.720
 You get a little bit more defined boundaries, defined uses.

00:43:28.720 --> 00:43:34.400
 You're working with certain folks specifically in that area.

00:43:34.400 --> 00:43:40.160
 The illustration I have here is the Oak Gateway area plan.

00:43:40.160 --> 00:43:48.600
 Out of the comprehensive plan, the larger overarching document called out for neighborhood

00:43:48.600 --> 00:43:50.760
 university compatibility areas.

00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:52.840
 Well, what does that mean?

00:43:52.840 --> 00:44:00.600
 We wanted to make sure that we establish a way to provide more opportunities for these

00:44:00.600 --> 00:44:04.600
 areas to develop in more of a compatible way.

00:44:04.600 --> 00:44:08.600
 We know that there are neighborhoods and we know that there are universities within the

00:44:08.600 --> 00:44:14.560
 city, we've got two, three if we count one downtown.

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

00:44:21.800 --> 00:44:24.280
 university compatibility area.

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

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

00:44:37.420 --> 00:44:42.560
 as those areas that are applicable to those recommendations.

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

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

00:44:55.180 --> 00:44:58.200
 as well as to the south and to the east to a certain extent.

00:44:58.200 --> 00:45:00.600
 So the area is what you see here.

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

00:45:09.080 --> 00:45:14.800
 issues and we hope that we've developed some recommendations to address some of those issues

00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:17.320
 and concerns.

00:45:17.320 --> 00:45:21.700
 Neighborhood planning is another set under comprehensive planning.

00:45:21.700 --> 00:45:24.280
 We try to work hard with our neighborhoods.

00:45:24.280 --> 00:45:27.200
 We meet with them as often as we can.

00:45:27.200 --> 00:45:33.080
 There are established neighborhoods such as Sedna and Dena and East Oak.

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

00:45:40.200 --> 00:45:43.600
 that they're there and so we try to work with them.

00:45:43.600 --> 00:45:47.920
 Our community development department also works with these neighborhoods.

00:45:47.920 --> 00:45:55.120
 So between community development, ourselves, the police department and other departments,

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

00:45:59.320 --> 00:46:04.480
 here for is really to improve the quality of life of our citizens and neighborhood planning

00:46:04.480 --> 00:46:09.000
 can do that as part of that effort.

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

00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:15.800
 and again, it goes back to the comprehensive plan.

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,

00:46:23.920 --> 00:46:28.280
 that's going to dictate our population and understanding that population growth is important

00:46:28.280 --> 00:46:33.960
 because that in turn establishes our infrastructure needs, our budget needs and the like.

00:46:33.960 --> 00:46:37.720
 So population projection is important.

00:46:37.720 --> 00:46:40.520
 Coordination with local and regional entities.

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

00:46:49.360 --> 00:46:56.960
 and growing with them, DCTA, all of these entities are important in an effort to make

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.

00:47:03.240 --> 00:47:04.760
 Coordination with other departments.

00:47:04.760 --> 00:47:09.240
 The comprehensive plan is not just planning, it involves all other departments.

00:47:09.240 --> 00:47:16.200
 I mentioned community development, the police department, you know, transportation as well

00:47:16.200 --> 00:47:22.480
 as infrastructure and utilities, the water, waste water, all of these departments must

00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:26.920
 understand the conference plan and use the conference plan, but we need to work together.

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

00:47:32.200 --> 00:47:35.360
 plan as we move forward.

00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:37.280
 Updating plans and codes.

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

00:47:42.280 --> 00:47:48.320
 that we are in line with the existing conditions, what's happening today.

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

00:47:57.000 --> 00:47:58.520
 into it.

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

00:48:02.560 --> 00:48:03.560
 be improved on.

00:48:03.560 --> 00:48:07.480
 So we're looking at that as part of the comprehensive plan update.

00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:16.080
 Annexation plan, we started this back in 2010, 2009, the non-annexation agreements is a result

00:48:16.080 --> 00:48:19.160
 of what happened with the annexation plan.

00:48:19.160 --> 00:48:25.440
 We were looking to annex property, however, there were folks that were given the opportunity

00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:29.640
 for a non-annexation agreement and that's why we have those today.

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

00:48:35.440 --> 00:48:40.780
 I said earlier in October of last year, the council extended it for 20 years.

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

00:48:49.040 --> 00:48:55.760
 surrounded by the city and so the services that we provide already are provided to those

00:48:55.760 --> 00:49:01.660
 areas, therefore we feel that it's necessary to bring those into the city.

00:49:01.660 --> 00:49:06.880
 And then special studies and projects, projects that are fun, some projects that are just

00:49:06.880 --> 00:49:07.880
 needed.

00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:13.800
 Parking studies, wayfinding for example, is another project that I was able to work on.

00:49:13.800 --> 00:49:20.360
 So studies like that are always needed and then again, small area plans or area plans

00:49:20.360 --> 00:49:27.320
 is something important that we hope to see more of in the near future.

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

00:49:31.240 --> 00:49:37.720
 not familiar, the comprehensive plan is again, the plan that's overarching, has the vision

00:49:37.720 --> 00:49:39.280
 for the city.

00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:44.160
 It manages growth, it promotes reinvestment, improves the quality of life, we've heard

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

00:49:53.600 --> 00:50:01.840
 the elements from land use to economic vitality, community character and urban design, what

00:50:01.840 --> 00:50:08.560
 our public should look like, our public areas should look like, parks conservation environment,

00:50:08.560 --> 00:50:14.760
 mobility, housing, public safety and services, infrastructure and utilities and as you can

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.

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

00:50:26.820 --> 00:50:37.160
 that the city has established complies or is consistent with those actions that we take.

00:50:37.160 --> 00:50:44.280
 The comprehensive plan is made up of goals, policies and actions, so there are goals that

00:50:44.280 --> 00:50:49.660
 basically sets the general direction, policies in which how we establish that and what decision

00:50:49.660 --> 00:50:55.240
 makers use in making decisions and then the actions that help implement those policies

00:50:55.240 --> 00:50:57.880
 and ultimately achieve those goals.

00:50:57.880 --> 00:51:01.640
 Again, those are all within each of those elements.

00:51:01.640 --> 00:51:07.280
 Each element has a set of goals, policies and actions again in order to achieve the

00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:11.040
 vision that is set forth.

00:51:11.040 --> 00:51:18.200
 The comprehensive plan sits sort of again overarching, it applies to the various elements

00:51:18.200 --> 00:51:24.520
 and you can see under this illustration that the plans or documents under each of those

00:51:24.520 --> 00:51:28.440
 elements all again fall under the comprehensive plan.

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

00:51:33.640 --> 00:51:39.440
 also see capital improvement plans all are under the purview of the comprehensive plan

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.

00:51:48.920 --> 00:51:51.120
 I think some of you have seen this already.

00:51:51.120 --> 00:51:56.520
 When it comes to development review, the comprehensive plan plays a role as well.

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

00:52:01.320 --> 00:52:03.800
 you're looking at the comprehensive plan.

00:52:03.800 --> 00:52:09.840
 Coming off of that, any infrastructure or utility improvements come from again starting

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

00:52:16.120 --> 00:52:21.160
 then all the way up from building plans to certificate of occupancy, all of which fall

00:52:21.160 --> 00:52:26.360
 under again this illustration.

00:52:26.360 --> 00:52:31.960
 As I said earlier, we're in that phase of the comprehensive plan update.

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

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

00:52:43.220 --> 00:52:44.220
 in place.

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

00:52:47.720 --> 00:52:53.280
 to address and we are working on them as we speak.

00:52:53.280 --> 00:52:59.120
 Initially our scope was to have our public, I'm sorry, the adoption of the comprehensive

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

00:53:08.160 --> 00:53:13.720
 public open houses in the month of September so we're working on that now.

00:53:13.720 --> 00:53:18.680
 That meant that the adoption would be extended, which is fine.

00:53:18.680 --> 00:53:23.240
 We feel that making sure that we hear from everybody and have the opportunity to get

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

00:53:29.360 --> 00:53:34.920
 coming up again in September, potentially in October, and so therefore our schedule

00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:44.880
 has been shifted down a little bit to November, hopefully with the holidays, not past December

00:53:44.880 --> 00:53:51.520
 and hopefully within this year we'll have an adopted comprehensive plan update.

00:53:51.520 --> 00:53:53.480
 And that is it.

00:53:53.480 --> 00:54:01.040
 I appreciate the opportunity and if there's any questions or any other information that

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

00:54:08.320 --> 00:54:15.320
 mentioned we've got a series of boot camp topics to discuss and hopefully that helps

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.

00:54:23.360 --> 00:54:24.360
 Any questions?

00:54:24.360 --> 00:54:29.880
 >> Any questions or additional topics you'd want to see?

00:54:29.880 --> 00:54:30.880
 Ron I have a couple.

00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:33.800
 I mentioned the developer presentation as being helpful.

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

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

00:54:44.760 --> 00:54:50.640
 to be useful is a breakdown of the resources that are available to planning and zoning

00:54:50.640 --> 00:54:53.240
 commissioners, especially maps.

00:54:53.240 --> 00:54:58.560
 So going over flu, preferred growth plan, mobility, zoning, those types of maps, as

00:54:58.560 --> 00:55:03.920
 well as the GIS system where we can do the interactive overlays so that the commissioners

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

00:55:13.520 --> 00:55:18.200
 individuals to go and look at current projects that are outstanding, that map, just a breakdown

00:55:18.200 --> 00:55:23.080
 of those resources, those maps, because oftentimes staff will use flume and it would be helpful

00:55:23.080 --> 00:55:27.560
 to have an anchor point of what that is or a LOMAR or those type things.

00:55:27.560 --> 00:55:28.560
 >> Right.

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

00:55:35.640 --> 00:55:41.080
 presented at one point of all the different maps that are available online, the interactive

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

00:55:46.240 --> 00:55:47.920
 are on our website.

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.

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

00:56:02.320 --> 00:56:06.960
 Haley, you got some of the other ones listed on your notes.

00:56:06.960 --> 00:56:11.640
 >> Yeah, I think we can definitely come up with that and maybe even incorporate that

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

00:56:15.880 --> 00:56:16.880
 use them.

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

00:56:21.200 --> 00:56:23.580
 be maybe the most useful of time.

00:56:23.580 --> 00:56:24.580
 >> Sure.

00:56:24.580 --> 00:56:25.580
 Yeah, we can do that.

00:56:25.580 --> 00:56:28.400
 >> Any other questions or additions for Ron?

00:56:28.400 --> 00:56:29.400
 Awesome.

00:56:29.400 --> 00:56:33.500
 Thanks for the presentation, Ron, most helpful.

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

00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:38.800
 evening.

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

00:56:44.840 --> 00:56:45.840
 consideration.

00:56:45.840 --> 00:56:52.120
 Haley, you're listed as the first one with PP21-0014.

00:56:52.120 --> 00:56:55.520
 >> Correct.

00:56:55.520 --> 00:57:00.160
 I think Ron is probably getting that pulled up.

00:57:00.160 --> 00:57:06.400
 So the first plat on the agenda tonight is for the Primaris Service Corporation.

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

00:57:10.520 --> 00:57:17.120
 north side of town near Barthold and I-35 north.

00:57:17.120 --> 00:57:18.120
 There we go.

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

00:57:23.280 --> 00:57:27.960
 future warehouse and office campus type development.

00:57:27.960 --> 00:57:30.360
 They are requesting an extension.

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

00:57:35.160 --> 00:57:39.560
 outstanding comments, so they've requested that extension which could be granted to a

00:57:39.560 --> 00:57:41.160
 date of August 18th.

00:57:41.160 --> 00:57:45.040
 Unfortunately, we don't have another meeting in early September that would fall in the

00:57:45.040 --> 00:57:49.180
 30-day range, so they would get that two-week extension with this.

00:57:49.180 --> 00:57:51.200
 And I'm happy to answer any questions.

00:57:51.200 --> 00:57:52.200
 >> Any questions for Haley?

00:57:52.200 --> 00:57:58.960
 All right, seeing none, we'll move to the next item, 2BFP21-0017.

00:57:58.960 --> 00:58:00.120
 This is Julie Wyatt's item.

00:58:00.120 --> 00:58:01.120
 >> Good evening.

00:58:01.120 --> 00:58:03.280
 Julie Wyatt, senior planner.

00:58:03.280 --> 00:58:07.800
 This is a final plat within the Robeson Ranch neighborhood.

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

00:58:12.960 --> 00:58:13.960
 approved.

00:58:13.960 --> 00:58:18.120
 They do still have some outstanding comments they need to work through, so staff is recommending

00:58:18.120 --> 00:58:19.760
 denial of the request.

00:58:19.760 --> 00:58:25.040
 However, we don't have any objection to their requested extension, which as the previous

00:58:25.040 --> 00:58:27.640
 item would be August 18th.

00:58:27.640 --> 00:58:28.800
 >> Great.

00:58:28.800 --> 00:58:29.800
 Any questions for Julie?

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.

00:58:37.760 --> 00:58:38.760
 >> Yes.

00:58:38.760 --> 00:58:48.320
 Chair, members of the commission, this application is for preliminary plat for area just in the

00:58:48.320 --> 00:58:53.440
 airport area, sorry, south of Jim Crystal and just north of the airport.

00:58:53.440 --> 00:58:58.320
 The applicant just submitted preliminary plat, however, their comments, there are still comments

00:58:58.320 --> 00:59:05.320
 that are outstanding, specifically related to drainage and gas well-related comments.

00:59:05.320 --> 00:59:07.600
 Therefore, staff is recommending denial.

00:59:07.600 --> 00:59:13.400
 However, the applicant has requested an extension, a 30-day extension, and again, as mentioned

00:59:13.400 --> 00:59:20.240
 earlier, because of the schedule, the date certain would be August 18th if the commission

00:59:20.240 --> 00:59:22.600
 were to accept the extension.

00:59:22.600 --> 00:59:23.600
 >> Great.

00:59:23.600 --> 00:59:24.600
 Thank you.

00:59:24.600 --> 00:59:26.480
 Any questions for Ron?

00:59:26.480 --> 00:59:27.940
 Okay.

00:59:27.940 --> 00:59:30.720
 That ends our items for individual consideration.

00:59:30.720 --> 00:59:34.520
 On the public hearing front, when we're in regular meeting, this item is being requested

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

00:59:40.040 --> 00:59:43.720
 of the 18th?

00:59:43.720 --> 00:59:44.720
 >> August 4th.

00:59:44.720 --> 00:59:45.720
 >> August 4th.

00:59:45.720 --> 00:59:47.360
 It says that there.

00:59:47.360 --> 00:59:48.360
 I can read.

00:59:48.360 --> 00:59:49.360
 Sorry.

00:59:49.360 --> 00:59:53.160
 With that, that concludes our agenda for this evening.

00:59:53.160 --> 00:59:54.620
 I will close the meeting at 6.06.

00:59:54.620 --> 01:00:00.120
 We'll be back here at 6.30.

01:00:00.120 --> 01:00:05.580
 Thank you.

01:00:05.580 --> 01:00:08.840
 Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Planning and Zoning Commission regular

01:00:08.840 --> 01:00:12.760
 meeting for Wednesday, July 28th, 2021.

01:00:12.760 --> 01:00:16.320
 Seeing that we have a quorum, I'll call the meeting to order at 6.31.

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.

01:00:21.080 --> 01:00:25.240
 The first item of business this evening is to stand and provide a Pledge of Allegiance

01:00:25.240 --> 01:00:28.080
 to the U.S. and Texas flag.

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

01:00:46.760 --> 01:00:55.040
 which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

01:00:55.040 --> 01:00:56.040
 Under the Texas flag, I pledge allegiance to the Texas state for which it stands, one

01:00:56.040 --> 01:00:57.040
 nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

01:00:57.040 --> 01:00:58.040
 The next item of business is the items for individual consideration.

01:00:58.040 --> 01:01:05.040
 The item is item 2A, PP21-0014, with Haley Zagurski presenting.

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,

01:01:12.600 --> 01:01:17.960
 this is a preliminary plat for a single lot for a commercial or light industrial type

01:01:17.960 --> 01:01:18.960
 use.

01:01:18.960 --> 01:01:21.100
 It will be an office campus with some warehouse components.

01:01:21.100 --> 01:01:24.800
 At this time, the plat does not meet all of the requirements, so staff has recommended

01:01:24.800 --> 01:01:30.880
 denial for the reasons outlined in your backup, however, the applicant has requested an extension

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.

01:01:36.000 --> 01:01:37.000
 Thanks, Haley.

01:01:37.000 --> 01:01:42.200
 Any questions for Haley?

01:01:42.200 --> 01:01:44.200
 Seeing none, we can do a motion.

01:01:44.200 --> 01:01:46.200
 Commissioner Anderson?

01:01:46.200 --> 01:01:50.960
 Make a motion to postpone to date certain of August 18th.

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

01:01:58.640 --> 01:01:59.640
 you.

01:01:59.640 --> 01:02:05.800
 Well, recommend the postponement to the date, right?

01:02:05.800 --> 01:02:06.800
 Yep.

01:02:06.800 --> 01:02:07.800
 We're good.

01:02:07.800 --> 01:02:08.800
 You again, I was saying, yes.

01:02:08.800 --> 01:02:09.800
 Yep, we're good.

01:02:09.800 --> 01:02:10.800
 Commissioner Ellis?

01:02:10.800 --> 01:02:11.800
 Second.

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

01:02:16.240 --> 01:02:19.080
 of August 18th, 2021.

01:02:19.080 --> 01:02:24.040
 Seeing none, I call for a vote via roll call.

01:02:24.040 --> 01:02:25.040
 Commissioner Pruitt?

01:02:25.040 --> 01:02:26.040
 Aye.

01:02:26.040 --> 01:02:27.040
 Commissioner McDade?

01:02:27.040 --> 01:02:28.040
 Aye.

01:02:28.040 --> 01:02:29.040
 Chair is an aye.

01:02:29.040 --> 01:02:30.040
 Commissioner Anderson?

01:02:30.040 --> 01:02:31.040
 Aye.

01:02:31.040 --> 01:02:32.040

01:02:32.040 --> 01:02:33.040
 Aye.

01:02:33.040 --> 01:02:34.040
 And Commissioner Cole?

01:02:34.040 --> 01:02:35.040
 Aye.

01:02:35.040 --> 01:02:36.040
 Motion carries 6-0.

01:02:36.040 --> 01:02:43.120
 The next item is item 2B, FP21-0017, and this is Julie Wyatt's item.

01:02:43.120 --> 01:02:46.680
 Good evening, I'm Julie Wyatt, senior planner with the City of Denton.

01:02:46.680 --> 01:02:49.660
 This is FP21-0017.

01:02:49.660 --> 01:02:54.400
 It's a final plat for a residential subdivision within the Robeson Ranch development.

01:02:54.400 --> 01:02:59.000
 They do have a couple of other items they need to correct before staff can recommend

01:02:59.000 --> 01:03:00.000
 approval.

01:03:00.000 --> 01:03:03.680
 However, they have requested an extension and staff has no objection to that extension

01:03:03.680 --> 01:03:05.720
 to the August 18th meeting.

01:03:05.720 --> 01:03:06.720
 Great.

01:03:06.720 --> 01:03:07.720
 Thank you.

01:03:07.720 --> 01:03:08.720
 Any questions for Julie?

01:03:08.720 --> 01:03:09.720
 Okay.

01:03:09.720 --> 01:03:10.720
 Commissioner Ellis?

01:03:10.720 --> 01:03:17.080
 I want to move approval of the applicant's extension request to a date certain of August

01:03:17.080 --> 01:03:18.080
 18th.

01:03:18.080 --> 01:03:19.080
 Great.

01:03:19.080 --> 01:03:20.080
 Commissioner Anderson?

01:03:20.080 --> 01:03:21.080
 Second.

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

01:03:24.800 --> 01:03:27.600
 certain of August 18th, 2021.

01:03:27.600 --> 01:03:30.480
 Is there any discussion on this?

01:03:30.480 --> 01:03:32.560
 Seeing none, I call for a vote via roll call.

01:03:32.560 --> 01:03:33.560
 Commissioner Pruitt?

01:03:33.560 --> 01:03:34.560
 Aye.

01:03:34.560 --> 01:03:35.560
 Commissioner McDade?

01:03:35.560 --> 01:03:36.560
 Aye.

01:03:36.560 --> 01:03:37.560
 Chair is an aye.

01:03:37.560 --> 01:03:38.560
 Commissioner Anderson?

01:03:38.560 --> 01:03:39.560
 Aye.

01:03:39.560 --> 01:03:40.560
 Commissioner Ellis?

01:03:40.560 --> 01:03:41.560
 Aye.

01:03:41.560 --> 01:03:42.560
 Chair carries 6-0.

01:03:42.560 --> 01:03:49.360
 The next item is item 2C, PP21-0015 and I'll invite Ron McGuida for presentation.

01:03:49.360 --> 01:03:53.680
 Thank you, Chair, members of the commission.

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

01:03:59.400 --> 01:04:02.720
 the Den Airport.

01:04:02.720 --> 01:04:09.960
 Due to items or comments not fully addressed by the applicant specifically related to drainage

01:04:09.960 --> 01:04:14.640
 and gas well, the staff is recommending denial of this Pilmer Platt application.

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

01:04:21.360 --> 01:04:23.440
 certain of August 18th.

01:04:23.440 --> 01:04:24.440
 Great.

01:04:24.440 --> 01:04:25.440
 Thank you.

01:04:25.440 --> 01:04:27.040
 Any questions for Ron?

01:04:27.040 --> 01:04:28.040
 Okay.

01:04:28.040 --> 01:04:33.440
 Seeing none, we can entertain a motion.

01:04:33.440 --> 01:04:36.120
 Commissioner McDade?

01:04:36.120 --> 01:04:37.680
 Were you raising your hand?

01:04:37.680 --> 01:04:38.680
 Nope.

01:04:38.680 --> 01:04:39.680
 Gotcha.

01:04:39.680 --> 01:04:40.680
 Commissioner Ellis?

01:04:40.680 --> 01:04:45.160
 I'm going to move approval of the applicant's extension request to a date certain of August

01:04:45.160 --> 01:04:46.160
 18th.

01:04:46.160 --> 01:04:47.160
 Great.

01:04:47.160 --> 01:04:48.160
 We have a first.

01:04:48.160 --> 01:04:49.160
 Commissioner Cole?

01:04:49.160 --> 01:04:50.160
 Second.

01:04:50.160 --> 01:04:52.960
 We have a first and a second to deny the request but approve the 30-day extension to a date

01:04:52.960 --> 01:04:55.640
 certain of August 18th, 2021.

01:04:55.640 --> 01:04:56.640
 Is there any discussion?

01:04:56.640 --> 01:05:00.240
 Seeing none, I'll call for a vote via roll call.

01:05:00.240 --> 01:05:01.240

 Aye.

01:05:09.240 --> 01:05:10.240
 Second.

01:05:10.240 --> 01:05:11.240
 We have a first and a second.

01:05:11.240 --> 01:05:12.240
 Any discussion?

01:05:12.240 --> 01:05:15.800
 Seeing none, I'll move for a vote on the 30-day extension request to a date certain of August

01:05:15.800 --> 01:05:16.800
 18th, 2021.

01:05:16.800 --> 01:05:17.800
 Is there any discussion?

01:05:17.800 --> 01:05:18.800
 We have a first and a second.

01:05:18.800 --> 01:05:19.800

 Seeing none, I'll call for a vote on the 30-day extension request to a date certain of August
