00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.980
The October 7th Planning and Zoning Commission meeting work

00:00:03.980 --> 00:00:04.960
session has

00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:11.179
been duly posted and we're ready to begin. We do have a qu

00:00:11.179 --> 00:00:12.820
orum. I think we

00:00:12.820 --> 00:00:16.420
have one missing that will be here shortly in about 10

00:00:16.420 --> 00:00:18.280
minutes. We're going

00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:23.170
to start tonight with a review of our agenda. First item

00:00:23.170 --> 00:00:24.399
being does anybody

00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:28.800
have any questions about the minutes?

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:35.090
Our next item will be our consent agenda and I'll ask Menal

00:00:35.090 --> 00:00:37.439
to see who's going to

00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:40.600
present and go through these items for us. Thank you Mr.

00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:42.240
Chair. The first consent

00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.929
agenda item would be the preliminary plat for West Park

00:00:45.929 --> 00:00:47.039
Industrial.

00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:51.079
Ross will go ahead and present that.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:22.480
Good evening Commissioners. The plat is for two lots on the

00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:23.519
northeast corner of

00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:32.200
Airport. Let me see.

00:01:53.519 --> 00:02:05.359
We just have a plat for two lots for non-residential

00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.959
development. This is in

00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:12.699
consideration for a part of a development, economic

00:02:12.699 --> 00:02:15.240
development project for

00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:23.650
Rush Enterprises. There will be completing a facility to

00:02:23.650 --> 00:02:24.199
customize

00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:28.800
truck vehicles for Peterbilt on this lot and then this lot

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:30.479
will be a future phase

00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:33.990
with a future development. They haven't submitted the

00:02:33.990 --> 00:02:35.240
building permit yet for

00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:40.639
this yet so we're looking at the preliminary plat and a

00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:40.919
final

00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:45.219
plan will be issued when they when they get ready for

00:02:45.219 --> 00:02:51.000
construction. Any questions?

00:02:51.000 --> 00:03:02.280
Questions on this item? Thank you. Moving along to the next

00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:03.919
plat we have

00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:06.810
the plat for Cooke Children's Razor Ranch Edition and

00:03:06.810 --> 00:03:08.280
Sophie Hummer will go ahead

00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:11.939
and provide the description on this property and what is

00:03:11.939 --> 00:03:13.280
being proposed for

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:21.169
development. This is the final plat for lot one block A of

00:03:21.169 --> 00:03:22.080
the Cooke Children's

00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:26.319
Razor Ranch Edition. This is lot one. The preliminary plat

00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:27.479
was approved earlier

00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:32.580
this year in May. You also approved a site plan for this

00:03:32.580 --> 00:03:33.520
project earlier this

00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:39.520
year and this is the final plat. Any questions on this item

00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:41.879
? Commissioner Backer.

00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:46.719
What is Cooke Children's Razor Ranch Edition? It is a

00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.800
medical center. It'll be a pediatric

00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.879
clinic. It's going to sit in between the select

00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.900
rehabilitation hospital and what

00:03:55.900 --> 00:04:01.900
looks like on Google Maps. Are those what condensate tanks

00:04:01.900 --> 00:04:03.960
over there near Bonnie

00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:10.180
Bray? It's I guess it'd be the southeast corner of Bonnie

00:04:10.180 --> 00:04:10.699
Bray and

00:04:10.699 --> 00:04:16.649
didn't they do some drilling there? Yeah what and what's

00:04:16.649 --> 00:04:17.720
there now? Are those

00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.759
condensate tanks?

00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:26.339
Darren Groth, Gaswell Administrator. Hey, Darren Groth, Gas

00:04:26.339 --> 00:04:28.800
well Administrator. I know some of

00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:30.800
you have turned over since I've been here last but thought

00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:31.560
I'd introduce myself.

00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.579
The site at Bonnie Bray in Scripture has three wells on it.

00:04:35.579 --> 00:04:36.680
They do have some

00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.670
produced water tanks. They don't have any condensate tanks

00:04:39.670 --> 00:04:41.879
on that site but it's I

00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.240
don't know the measurement but it's to the east of this

00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.120
site. So water tanks

00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:52.339
that's all in. Produced water tanks. Okay. This meets the

00:04:52.339 --> 00:04:53.920
fire code and the debt and development code

00:04:53.920 --> 00:05:01.199
requirements. Okay. Any other questions on this item? Thank

00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.279
you, Sophie. Moving on to the next, we're

00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:07.139
going to actually skip Brubson Ranch to await Commissioner

00:05:07.139 --> 00:05:08.600
Brighill. She had some

00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.370
questions on that and had requested that she have the

00:05:11.370 --> 00:05:12.959
opportunity to do so. If we

00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.670
can go ahead and skip to the preliminary plat for Perfect

00:05:15.670 --> 00:05:16.920
Finish Landscaping.

00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:21.199
Julie White is going to present this on behalf of Mike Bell

00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:21.199
.

00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:32.480
All right. This is a preliminary plat for a to create one

00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:33.720
non-residential lot. They

00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:38.000
intend to develop the property with an office warehouse

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:39.680
type development.

00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:48.800
Do you have any questions? Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:51.600
Commissioner Beck. I was pulling up the

00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:57.819
plat myself. They're intending to develop the property with

00:05:57.819 --> 00:05:59.279
an office type and

00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.959
warehouse type development. It's in an employment center

00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:03.600
industrial zoning

00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:07.579
district. That's a preliminary use. So no industry, light

00:06:07.579 --> 00:06:10.480
industry, manufacturing? They haven't given any other level

00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:10.560
of

00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.550
detail for that. Any use that would go in would have to be

00:06:13.550 --> 00:06:14.399
a permitted use within

00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:18.649
the zoning district that's located in. Okay. It's close to

00:06:18.649 --> 00:06:21.180
homes on both sides. You've got the house on the west side,

00:06:21.180 --> 00:06:23.560
I believe, in the trailer park on the other side. There's

00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:27.199
been no... this doesn't conflict with that. They would have

00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:27.720
to meet the buffer

00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.019
requirements within the Ditten Development Code and if it

00:06:30.019 --> 00:06:30.920
was an industrial

00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:34.529
type development, I believe that's a type D buffer which is

00:06:34.529 --> 00:06:36.319
a 30-foot landscape

00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:41.110
buffer between them and any residential development. It is

00:06:41.110 --> 00:06:43.720
30 feet. Yes, absolutely

00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:45.959
correct. Julie is correct with that. However, they did

00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:46.959
request, the applicant

00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.319
did request a variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment

00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:50.000
to reduce that

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.970
buffer width to 20 feet which would still include tree

00:06:52.970 --> 00:06:54.199
plantings adjacent to

00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:56.259
the residential district. And that's okay with the home

00:06:56.259 --> 00:06:57.879
owner there? Right. So they went

00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.040
through public hearing with the Zoning Board of Adjustment.

00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:00.839
It was a public

00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:04.629
hearing notification was offered and to my knowledge there

00:07:04.629 --> 00:07:05.680
was no issue with the

00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:10.129
surrounding property owners either. Okay. Good deal. Thank

00:07:10.129 --> 00:07:14.160
you. Commissioner Hatchbeth. I have just a general question

00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:18.149
while this is here though. Regarding the preliminary plat,

00:07:18.149 --> 00:07:19.360
can you give me an

00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.410
overview of that process? How do we get to that? What does

00:07:22.410 --> 00:07:24.720
that entail in subsequent...

00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.670
obviously there's final plat and so you know so if I can

00:07:27.670 --> 00:07:30.000
get a timeline. To put it

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.660
in... to give you a synopsis, the preliminary plat is more

00:07:33.660 --> 00:07:34.720
of a macro level. It

00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:38.220
could identify a large acreage, a large substantial piece

00:07:38.220 --> 00:07:39.879
of property that a

00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:42.740
developer potentially has intent to develop. However, it

00:07:42.740 --> 00:07:43.600
could be a phase

00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.110
development or a phase program and so through that they

00:07:46.110 --> 00:07:47.240
could carve out pieces

00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:50.750
within that preliminary plat that would enable them to

00:07:50.750 --> 00:07:52.160
final plat and provide

00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:54.939
full-blown engineering or civil drawings associated with

00:07:54.939 --> 00:07:55.839
that to make sure the

00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:59.079
infrastructure needs are met and addressed for that

00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:00.160
specific area. The

00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.800
preliminary plat gives you a schematic and conceptual

00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:03.879
layout as to engineering

00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.040
your street layout and as you move forward and fine-tune

00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:07.920
what exactly

00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:09.939
you're going to do, how much acreage you're going to use

00:08:09.939 --> 00:08:11.019
for that. So you could have

00:08:11.019 --> 00:08:14.360
a hundred acres for example that was preliminary platted

00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:15.160
and with that

00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.500
perhaps in phase one only ten acres came in. That ten acres

00:08:18.500 --> 00:08:19.319
would then become

00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:23.230
your final plot which would have a more thorough study,

00:08:23.230 --> 00:08:24.920
complete study on your

00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:29.579
infrastructure requirements which is your water, your sewer

00:08:29.579 --> 00:08:30.720
, your street. Drainage.

00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:39.240
So at what level is that scrutinized? I mean you know is it

00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:41.159
... I think I

00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:44.019
understand your question. Yes. I think so. So I'm going to

00:08:44.019 --> 00:08:45.080
take the liberty to try

00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.960
and answer it without you completing it so I apologize in

00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:50.879
advance. The

00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.389
Development Services Department has a Development Review

00:08:54.389 --> 00:08:55.159
Committee. The

00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:58.379
Development Review Committee houses the planning discipline

00:08:58.379 --> 00:08:59.440
, the engineering

00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:02.679
discipline, FHIR, plans examiners which is your building

00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:04.519
inspection team and then

00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:07.539
when I talk about the engineering team we're talking about

00:09:07.539 --> 00:09:08.159
the entire

00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:11.210
engineering team which addresses utilities, which addresses

00:09:11.210 --> 00:09:11.759
your roadways,

00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.269
which addresses what the master thoroughfare plan and

00:09:15.269 --> 00:09:16.559
infrastructure plan

00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.110
requires and all those disciplines come together and they

00:09:20.110 --> 00:09:21.159
review the final

00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:24.230
plot such as this. So if you notice on this final plot it

00:09:24.230 --> 00:09:25.720
identifies easements

00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:28.940
as well. These easements are necessary to ensure that the

00:09:28.940 --> 00:09:30.320
site functions not just

00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.059
from an access point but when we talk about drainage. Is

00:09:33.059 --> 00:09:34.120
there water to the

00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:36.919
site? Is there sewer to the site? How do we... if it's not

00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:37.919
there how do we bring it

00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.600
there? What needs to happen to allow this site to function?

00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:42.759
You mean preliminary

00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:47.000
plot? I was talking about... well the preliminary plot is

00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:48.000
more schematic and

00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.720
then the final plot delves into that information more.

00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:52.000
Right. It's basically to make

00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:55.440
sure that the developers are on the right track before they

00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:56.039
have to bring

00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:59.120
forward serious engineering drawings for the final plan.

00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:01.080
Got it. That's the function of it

00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:08.149
and it's at the initial outset for the project. Okay. You

00:10:08.149 --> 00:10:10.960
have some follow-up

00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:13.440
questions? Well yeah I just don't... I still don't

00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:17.759
understand. For example if I

00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:22.360
if I'm if I'm gonna develop this the green area out front

00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.559
here and I... is there

00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.009
any scrutiny to that? Is there no that's not feasible? Are

00:10:28.009 --> 00:10:29.000
we cutting them off at

00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.639
the pass early saying hey that's not possible? Correct. Or

00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:32.679
can someone bring us

00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:36.279
a plan for anything and it passes the first preliminary

00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:37.799
step and then goes in

00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:40.889
the detail? I just don't know at what level so I understand

00:10:40.889 --> 00:10:41.720
the disciplines

00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:48.279
that go into the final... but the preliminary what is...

00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:48.960
and the same

00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:53.529
discipline evaluates from the onset. Let's talk about use.

00:10:53.529 --> 00:10:54.039
For instance

00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:56.120
Commissioner Beck brought that up. Can they do what they're

00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:56.879
doing in ECI with

00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:59.559
this one for example? Yes they can. The use is permitted.

00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:00.600
What are the zoning

00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:03.299
requirements in terms of lot width or lot area as we speak

00:11:03.299 --> 00:11:04.840
to residential? All

00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:07.379
those from a preliminary discussion standpoint are

00:11:07.379 --> 00:11:09.159
addressed. So you cannot

00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:12.120
proceed into a final without addressing your preliminary

00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:12.960
and you wouldn't go

00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:16.559
forward from your initial conversation. We enable initial

00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:17.879
conversation with our

00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:21.169
external stakeholders so we can understand their project

00:11:21.169 --> 00:11:21.919
and they can

00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:24.720
vet it with us prior to them even submitting their

00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:26.279
preliminary plat. Got it.

00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.840
There you go. Thank you. I'll add one more thing to that.

00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:30.279
There's a there's a

00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.750
preliminary step that you can do as a developer that even

00:11:33.750 --> 00:11:34.639
comes before a

00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:36.940
preliminary plat and it's called a development review

00:11:36.940 --> 00:11:37.559
committee or a

00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:42.769
pre-construction type meeting and it's a very inexpensive

00:11:42.769 --> 00:11:44.639
way to take a piece of

00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:48.340
property that you're unfamiliar with and it's I think it's

00:11:48.340 --> 00:11:51.000
a $250 fee that you

00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:54.259
present and to the board that... and I was talking about

00:11:54.259 --> 00:11:57.279
the the the DRC and the

00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:59.639
development review committee and all those departments will

00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:00.279
come and review

00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:02.509
that particular project. It's usually done within a couple

00:12:02.509 --> 00:12:03.639
weeks and it does

00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:06.370
exactly what she's talking about. It does a very

00:12:06.370 --> 00:12:08.159
preliminary say we have a six

00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:10.710
inch water line out in front there's a ten inch sewer line

00:12:10.710 --> 00:12:12.179
down here what are

00:12:12.179 --> 00:12:15.259
the easements what are your zoning's and kind of gives you

00:12:15.259 --> 00:12:17.000
a very quick snapshot

00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:20.019
without getting into a lot of engineering drawings to kind

00:12:20.019 --> 00:12:20.440
of y'all's

00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:24.080
point of what can you do this piece of property and what's

00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:25.080
involved before

00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:29.090
somebody starts writing big checks for engineers and civil

00:12:29.090 --> 00:12:30.120
engineers and

00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:33.919
surveyors and so you really go through and in my experience

00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:34.600
that's a

00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:38.320
no-brainer to go through first and get some feedback and if

00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:39.480
it is positive and

00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:41.929
you look like you can do what you need to do then you move

00:12:41.929 --> 00:12:43.159
on to your

00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:47.480
preliminary platting and then on to final plat so this is

00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:48.440
just a preliminary

00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:51.190
plat it's kind of would be a step to after somebody may

00:12:51.190 --> 00:12:51.840
have done a

00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:57.159
preliminary development review. So this will come back

00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:58.879
again for a final plat.

00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:02.960
Commissioner Dutta-Witts. I can just add that's why it's

00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:03.840
part of a consent

00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.350
agenda it's telling us it's already been through review

00:13:07.350 --> 00:13:09.259
processes and been vetted

00:13:09.259 --> 00:13:12.289
at that level for the preliminary stuff you know water

00:13:12.289 --> 00:13:13.679
lines and easements and

00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:18.159
things like that so it's pretty much you know understanding

00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:19.039
that that's been

00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:21.509
vetted and now we can move forward and get into other

00:13:21.509 --> 00:13:22.860
details as we get to final

00:13:22.860 --> 00:13:25.159
plants and then if there's any rezoning or other things

00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:26.120
that's when it really

00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:30.399
gets serious with us. Sit down and see if that makes sense.

00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:36.350
We've got Commissioner Brighill has joined us and I believe

00:13:36.350 --> 00:13:37.480
there was an item that we had

00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:40.029
skipped that do you need a few more minutes we'll go on to

00:13:40.029 --> 00:13:43.600
another item. We're

00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.409
going to move on to our next item which is going to be the

00:13:46.409 --> 00:13:51.440
sprouts edition.

00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:53.840
This might look familiar this is sprouts you've seen it

00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:54.600
before it was actually

00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.980
this this plat was actually approved by this this

00:13:58.980 --> 00:14:01.679
Commission previously however

00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.480
they've decided to instead of do underground detention they

00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:06.200
decided to

00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:09.559
detain on the site so it's changed a couple of things on

00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:10.639
the plat so in

00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:13.279
abundance of caution we've brought it back so you can look

00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:14.379
and see at it see

00:14:14.379 --> 00:14:21.600
it again. Any questions on this particular item?

00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:22.840
Commissioner Betk. I have

00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:29.240
questions though. Thank you. Again being Teasley like it is

00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:30.759
until this road gets

00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:34.250
fixed concerned about the flow of traffic I didn't see

00:14:34.250 --> 00:14:35.200
anything on the

00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.100
plan here and I just may not be reading it right but coming

00:14:39.100 --> 00:14:40.840
from down Teasley

00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:44.919
heading south when you want to turn into sprouts are they

00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:45.639
going to add a lane

00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:49.759
where you can do that off of Teasley and if not why not and

00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:50.720
do we have the right

00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:57.080
to ask them to do that? I'm going to call Earl Escobar up.

00:14:57.080 --> 00:15:00.159
Preach it to the choir.

00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:06.700
Earl Escobar engineering. The construction plans for

00:15:06.700 --> 00:15:08.120
sprouts are

00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:12.740
proposing two entrances off of Teasley Lane. One's located

00:15:12.740 --> 00:15:13.919
at the common

00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:18.539
property line between their site and the site to the north

00:15:18.539 --> 00:15:19.919
and then one is

00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:24.139
further north within the property to the north because that

00:15:24.139 --> 00:15:26.639
's where the median

00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:29.039
opening will be upon the widening of Teasley Lane. Further

00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:31.919
north? Yes. Okay.

00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:38.570
But both entrances will have a dedicated right turn lane an

00:15:38.570 --> 00:15:39.840
additional lane to

00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.100
transition into their side. Okay that's what I was asking.

00:15:43.100 --> 00:15:45.480
In other words people won't have to start backing up when

00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:46.000
somebody's going to come in.

00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:50.159
And then the entrance to the north the off-site entrance

00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:51.039
will also have a

00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:54.750
dedicated left turn lane as well. This entrance that's

00:15:54.750 --> 00:15:56.320
located between the two

00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:59.480
properties that's only going to be a right in and a right

00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:00.720
out type driveway.

00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.789
Now is this purely an entrance or is it an entrance and

00:16:03.789 --> 00:16:05.919
exit? Both driveways are

00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:10.460
exits and entrances but the only difference between this

00:16:10.460 --> 00:16:11.360
one that's

00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:13.769
between the two properties and the one further north is

00:16:13.769 --> 00:16:14.600
that the one further

00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:21.039
north is a full exit. You can exit left or right as opposed

00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:21.960
to this one right

00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:26.919
here which is only a right out. Was there any consideration

00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:28.519
to making those purely

00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:32.120
entrances and letting the exit traffic go out Hickory Road

00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:33.639
there at the light and

00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:38.120
the reason I again unless there's a light there people are

00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:38.840
you know it's a

00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:43.149
challenge to get over in the other lane because you got

00:16:43.149 --> 00:16:45.120
cross traffic there. Was

00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:47.669
there any consideration that this would be a problem with

00:16:47.669 --> 00:16:48.799
exiting traffic out of

00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:53.019
there heading back north on Teesley? There was some concern

00:16:53.019 --> 00:16:53.679
on the first

00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:58.080
entrance the southern entrance to only make that an exit

00:16:58.080 --> 00:16:58.639
right to the right

00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:03.360
only as opposed to a left turn exit or a full entrance just

00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:04.279
because of a

00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:08.549
potential left turn movements into the site given the

00:17:08.549 --> 00:17:09.839
vicinity to the

00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:12.839
intersection of Hickory Creek Road and Teesley we didn't

00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:13.960
want traffic to back

00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:17.789
up into that intersection so we we require that to just be

00:17:17.789 --> 00:17:18.599
a strictly a

00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:21.440
right in right out. The one further north is quite a ways

00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:21.680
from that

00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:24.569
intersection so we were comfortable enough with that being

00:17:24.569 --> 00:17:26.519
a full entry.

00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:31.680
Okay. Thank you. Question? Commissioner Detowitz. While you

00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:32.599
're up there have we

00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:35.930
seen any preliminary drawings from DOT because that is a

00:17:35.930 --> 00:17:37.240
DOT right away? Yes there

00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:40.710
are actual design plans for this project now they're

00:17:40.710 --> 00:17:42.160
scheduled to. I'm

00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:45.759
talking about the whole Teesley project not just this area.

00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:47.000
I'm not familiar with

00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:50.049
the whole set of plans there are a set of plans I just

00:17:50.049 --> 00:17:51.079
focus for this project.

00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:54.680
Because we've been we've been seeing additional sprouts and

00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:56.720
other other types

00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:00.400
of development from even further north in Teesley down from

00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:01.640
the library we have a

00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:07.279
senior citizen home we have I don't know how many homes are

00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:08.480
going up there at

00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:13.769
Ryan Road and now we have the neighborhood Walmart coming

00:18:13.769 --> 00:18:14.400
in and we

00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:16.940
have sprouts and then further further further all the way

00:18:16.940 --> 00:18:17.759
down and we've had

00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:21.470
some public interest about the traffic and all those and

00:18:21.470 --> 00:18:23.480
yet it's still a DOT

00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:27.740
project. Yeah the scope of the project is from it's from at

00:18:27.740 --> 00:18:28.599
the intersection of

00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:31.279
Teesley and Teesley or Lillian Miller that little corner

00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:32.240
there all the way down

00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:36.579
to 35. Right now they're working on 35 all the way to 2499

00:18:36.579 --> 00:18:37.680
I believe somewhere

00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:40.930
in that area. But we have not seen their plans so how do we

00:18:40.930 --> 00:18:42.599
integrate our our

00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:46.579
designs of ins and outs and X's? Oh we've in there we've

00:18:46.579 --> 00:18:47.599
coordinated okay

00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:50.940
textile plants with this development and that's the reason

00:18:50.940 --> 00:18:52.559
why they had that that

00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:56.029
driveway to the north off site is located where it is is

00:18:56.029 --> 00:18:57.000
because that's

00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:00.779
where the ultimate median opening will be. Now secondary to

00:19:00.779 --> 00:19:02.039
that is is Hickory

00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:06.119
Creek Road and Ryan Road and all those roads that parallel.

00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:07.079
Those are city roadways.

00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:09.519
Those are city roads and we've been asking about where

00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:10.440
which the plans for

00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:16.079
traffic lights and traffic enhancing whatever they may be

00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:16.680
exits and

00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:19.470
entrances those developments that are coming in. Yes as

00:19:19.470 --> 00:19:21.079
part of the sprouts

00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:24.140
development they are going to be widening Hickory Creek

00:19:24.140 --> 00:19:25.680
Road I believe

00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:28.359
they are constructing three additional lanes because it's a

00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:29.119
six lane roadway

00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:31.180
and I believe there's already three lanes on the south side

00:19:31.180 --> 00:19:31.839
they're going to

00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:35.130
build a three on the north side along with turn lines as

00:19:35.130 --> 00:19:36.519
well along their

00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:40.440
frontage. And Ryan Road? Ryan Road the Walmart development

00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:42.119
is building I believe

00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:44.359
their frontage. What about the other end of it where the

00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:45.240
other developments are

00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.400
going in? The Country Club Road which is a stop sign now

00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:49.359
and people can't turn

00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:53.559
left or right because of the traffic on Country Club and

00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:55.400
Ryan. They are cost

00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:58.470
participating they're proportionate. What's the city

00:19:58.470 --> 00:19:59.839
planning to do at that? I

00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:02.130
would just like to make a point of order if we could just

00:20:02.130 --> 00:20:03.160
stick to the item

00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:06.880
that's specifically. I disagree I think this is this is

00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:08.799
relevant to the whole

00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:12.930
development of that area of traffic is incredible and if it

00:20:12.930 --> 00:20:14.039
doesn't flow down

00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:17.109
easily it's it's hitting the other the other arterials in

00:20:17.109 --> 00:20:18.359
there and it's backing

00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:22.559
up all kinds of traffic. So it's a discussion about traffic

00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:23.400
which was the

00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:28.359
question was raised. I guess to answer your question on

00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:30.359
Country Club and Ryan.

00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.109
There are also applies to Hickory Creek to where it bumps

00:20:33.109 --> 00:20:36.799
in. Right. Well Hickory

00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:38.700
Creek and Fort Worth Drive there's a textile project for

00:20:38.700 --> 00:20:39.440
Fort Worth Drive as

00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:43.549
well. I'm not exactly sure when it's slated to begin but

00:20:43.549 --> 00:20:45.000
there are going to

00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.490
be improvements to that or those intersections as well in

00:20:48.490 --> 00:20:49.200
terms of

00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:53.309
signalization of Country Club and Ryan Road. All we can ask

00:20:53.309 --> 00:20:54.680
them to do is cost

00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:58.519
contribute their fair share for those intersections

00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:00.279
whenever a development

00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.029
comes in within the vicinity of that intersection and it's

00:21:03.029 --> 00:21:03.880
just really up to

00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:08.190
the city to supplement it. So the city is saying that you

00:21:08.190 --> 00:21:08.960
're looking to the

00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:11.910
developers to do something and you won't do anything until

00:21:11.910 --> 00:21:14.480
they participate? It's

00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:17.119
a requirement for them to cost participate towards those

00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:17.799
improvements.

00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:21.839
Okay. But unless it's a significant development and they

00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:23.440
are willing to go

00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:27.990
ahead and construct it like for example Razor Ranch, went

00:21:27.990 --> 00:21:28.240
ahead and

00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:30.759
constructed signals along. We have approved number of

00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:31.480
developments along

00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:35.119
Ryan and along Hickory Creek and we've not seen anything

00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:36.440
that suggests

00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:39.200
what's going to happen to the traffic of those additional

00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:40.079
home sites and

00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:44.160
developments on other city streets and it seems to be the

00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:45.640
vacant part of all the

00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:49.640
discussion. Well the city roadways, we analyzed the city

00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:50.319
roadways when those

00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:53.119
developments came in and they've named at the minimum level

00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:54.279
of service. It's

00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:58.039
the TechSot roadways that we have the problems with mainly

00:21:58.039 --> 00:21:59.839
because Teasley

00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:02.259
right now is a two-lane roadway. It's slated to be a six

00:22:02.259 --> 00:22:04.039
lane but we're at the

00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:08.880
mercy of TechSot schedule. I appreciate your answers. I did

00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:09.960
that for some of our

00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:12.640
new members because we've been having this discussion on

00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:13.599
traffic in Teasley

00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:17.200
and all that part of development there for at least my

00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:17.799
tenure on the

00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:21.779
Commission. So we still have a lot of answers that we need

00:22:21.779 --> 00:22:23.319
to get and it's

00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:25.799
just I believe the traffic is going to get worse and worse

00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:27.119
because of a number

00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:29.640
of homes and developments that we've approved in there

00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:31.000
without making any

00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:34.349
adjustments to the traffic flow. I agree. I mean I think

00:22:34.349 --> 00:22:36.079
once Teasley gets widened into the six lanes

00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:39.720
it'll alleviate a lot of that traffic at least from my

00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:41.279
thoroughfare standpoint.

00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:44.880
I'm on the main corridor there. I think we have another

00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:45.880
question. Commissioner Taylor?

00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:50.160
Just a brief follow-up. What is the expected date of

00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:51.519
completion of the

00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:56.970
TechSot widening of Teasley lane? Completion or start? Let

00:22:56.970 --> 00:22:58.559
's start with the start.

00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:03.809
We'll start with the start. Start is I believe it's August

00:23:03.809 --> 00:23:07.240
2017. From Lillian

00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:12.150
Miller to 2499 I believe is the scope of that work. Complet

00:23:12.150 --> 00:23:13.799
ion is about three to

00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:20.720
five years. So sometime between 2017 and 2021-22 this will

00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:21.440
be complete and

00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:25.759
you'll have a median and ride in ride outs.

00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:33.200
Commissioner Rossell? This might be for Miss Wyatt. Can you

00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:34.640
explain the change

00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:38.109
and the first plat in this plat you said is about detain

00:23:38.109 --> 00:23:39.599
ment? Can you elaborate on that?

00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:45.200
They originally were going to detain any runoff underneath

00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:46.880
the site.

00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:50.099
When they got the cost estimates of that they elected to go

00:23:50.099 --> 00:23:51.200
ahead and detain on

00:23:51.200 --> 00:24:00.740
site. So that's what's changed. Thank you. Any other

00:24:00.740 --> 00:24:03.680
questions on this item?

00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:08.460
Amber are you ready to? Yeah I am and thanks for waiting.

00:24:08.460 --> 00:24:12.640
We're one car family with two kids and a lot of after-

00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:14.640
school activities.

00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:18.410
So sorry I was late. Thank you. We're gonna back up then

00:24:18.410 --> 00:24:19.799
and catch the Robson

00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:23.569
Ranch item I think. Yes thank you. So I just had two

00:24:23.569 --> 00:24:25.759
questions. We haven't even

00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:30.359
had any talk on that. Who's going to present that?

00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:36.430
So this is a Robson Ranch unit 10-2. You've seen the

00:24:36.430 --> 00:24:38.720
preliminary plat. 10-1

00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:43.509
which is another part of this unit 10 has been approved the

00:24:43.509 --> 00:24:44.599
final plat. So this

00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:49.549
is the final plat for 10-2 for residential development and

00:24:49.549 --> 00:24:50.000
open space

00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:57.359
lots as well. Commissioner Bugele? Thank you Chair. Miss

00:24:57.359 --> 00:24:58.420
Wyatt I have two

00:24:58.420 --> 00:25:02.980
questions. The first one is I see there are and I was

00:25:02.980 --> 00:25:04.920
looking for like a key or

00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:08.519
something. There are some letters with circles around them

00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:09.119
and some of these

00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:13.509
lots for example lot 63 has a letter I with a circle around

00:25:13.509 --> 00:25:16.319
it 28 has an H with

00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:19.819
the circle. 51 has got an I again. I thought I saw an E on

00:25:19.819 --> 00:25:20.319
there. I've just

00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:22.130
I've never seen that on these plats before and I was

00:25:22.130 --> 00:25:23.119
looking for a key. I was

00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:26.559
just kind of curious what those are the blocks. Oh thank

00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:28.400
you. It is somewhat

00:25:28.400 --> 00:25:31.740
unclear and if you'd like I could have the applicant add

00:25:31.740 --> 00:25:33.359
block to those if it

00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:36.000
wouldn't add more clarity to it. No it's fine. I was just

00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:37.359
looking I didn't understand why

00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:40.410
there were why that was there. I hadn't seen that. I can

00:25:40.410 --> 00:25:41.200
see how that would be

00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:45.400
unclear. Okay thank you and the second question is I'm

00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:46.759
curious I've seen on on

00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:51.329
other plats we're starting to now put in gas wells even if

00:25:51.329 --> 00:25:52.440
they're not

00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:54.890
specifically to that development but if they're in the

00:25:54.890 --> 00:25:55.720
proximity of the

00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:58.400
neighborhood they're kind of grayed out and we can see them

00:25:58.400 --> 00:25:59.119
and I know that

00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:02.029
there are gas wells at Robeson Ranch. I didn't see anything

00:26:02.029 --> 00:26:02.920
like that on this

00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:04.980
plat and I was curious is that because it's an MPC and

00:26:04.980 --> 00:26:05.759
therefore it's not

00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:15.559
required or clarify that. There is a gas well a gas park is

00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:16.279
what they're called in

00:26:16.279 --> 00:26:19.750
Robeson Ranch. It's adjacent to the property so it's not on

00:26:19.750 --> 00:26:20.960
this exact

00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:24.480
property so we didn't include it in the plat. But I've seen

00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:25.720
that even when it's

00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:28.369
not included on that specific development if there's a

00:26:28.369 --> 00:26:29.079
development

00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:32.799
nearby I've seen that grayed out on other plats just to

00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:33.720
show that there is

00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:37.759
something in the area. Am I I'm not imagining that we've

00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:38.640
seen that before. No

00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:41.259
I don't believe you are imagining that I think what we were

00:26:41.259 --> 00:26:42.720
talking of what we've

00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:46.730
seen in the past where you saw a an as built or shaded in

00:26:46.730 --> 00:26:47.940
location of an

00:26:47.940 --> 00:26:51.410
existing gas well in relation to the overall site. That's

00:26:51.410 --> 00:26:52.000
exactly in this

00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:54.619
instance we have a planned development district and we have

00:26:54.619 --> 00:26:55.480
a separate detail

00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:59.730
plan for the gas well park so the conditions that dictate

00:26:59.730 --> 00:27:00.440
both are

00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:03.269
different. Right so it's why you see it this way. It's not

00:27:03.269 --> 00:27:03.960
necessary it's not

00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:07.859
required. Right we're not in error with this plot nor we

00:27:07.859 --> 00:27:08.960
are in error with the

00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:14.160
other. Okay that answers my question thank you. Any other

00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:14.519
questions?

00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:18.029
Commissioner Beck. Thank you Chair. Could you put that

00:27:18.029 --> 00:27:19.279
drawing back up there that

00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:29.440
showed the gas part? Okay. Right the proximity of that part

00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:31.359
to the area that's going to be

00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:36.009
developed seems pretty close is that within the back sets?

00:27:36.009 --> 00:27:36.720
It meets the

00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:40.779
requirements of the Robeson Ranch plan development. They

00:27:40.779 --> 00:27:42.839
have a separate set

00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:46.440
of rules for their gas parks and this does meet their

00:27:46.440 --> 00:27:47.599
requirements for

00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:54.880
separation. Okay so Denton's guidelines don't fall in here?

00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:56.079
I'm going to call up

00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:58.099
Darren Grove just so he can give you a little more

00:27:58.099 --> 00:27:59.319
background on it might make

00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:07.099
it a little clearer. Okay yeah the Robeson PD addresses set

00:28:07.099 --> 00:28:08.480
backs and so what we did

00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:12.119
here recently in August was adopt an ordinance that

00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:13.680
addresses if a master

00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:16.539
plan community or plan development were to change any of

00:28:16.539 --> 00:28:17.920
their zoning documents

00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:20.910
they would actually have to come in with a unified plan and

00:28:20.910 --> 00:28:22.039
address the setbacks

00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:25.109
with the gas well operator and the surface developer. Since

00:28:25.109 --> 00:28:25.859
this is still a

00:28:25.859 --> 00:28:28.109
plat and not addressing the zoning as we all pointed out in

00:28:28.109 --> 00:28:29.880
the last answer the

00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:35.200
plat isn't in conflict with our new ordinance because the

00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:36.279
previous PD would

00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:39.789
still apply and in that PD there was only a 100 foot set

00:28:39.789 --> 00:28:42.079
back so it definitely

00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:46.599
meets that. Right now we would have a different set of

00:28:46.599 --> 00:28:47.640
regulations if they

00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:51.150
were going through a zoning change and I think one of the

00:28:51.150 --> 00:28:52.720
examples was probably

00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:55.210
Sophie's case previously where the zoning ordinance

00:28:55.210 --> 00:28:56.319
actually required the

00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:59.390
plat to show those so again the zoning change would be the

00:28:59.390 --> 00:29:00.400
key here this is a

00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:03.559
plat that we're addressing. And the zoning change would

00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:04.640
come through this

00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:09.799
committee. Yes sir. Okay so my question so it's only a

00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:12.720
hundred feet then. Correct.

00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:17.680
And we've got minimum on new homes I believe is 500 feet

00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:18.559
when you're building

00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:22.079
a new area. A new home to an existing drilling and

00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:23.920
production site outside of a

00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:27.609
PD except for that unifying plan would be a 250 foot

00:29:27.609 --> 00:29:29.480
distance okay except for the

00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:33.519
structure to any pieces of equipment that would hold

00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:35.240
explosive liquids or

00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:39.730
gases that would be 300 feet. So are we gonna have problems

00:29:39.730 --> 00:29:41.000
with this when they

00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:45.650
start building homes then? Is this still outside the 250?

00:29:45.650 --> 00:29:48.079
It won't be a problem

00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:51.569
because of the set of separation standards that they will

00:29:51.569 --> 00:29:52.519
be developing

00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.349
under until Robeson were to come in and amend the plan

00:29:56.349 --> 00:29:59.160
development itself then we

00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:01.839
would get that unified plan that would address the setbacks

00:30:01.839 --> 00:30:03.240
either to today's

00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:08.920
250 foot or even greater in some examples but the 100 foot

00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:09.480
distance is

00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:11.660
what they will develop under so it won't be a conflict with

00:30:11.660 --> 00:30:12.279
the ordinance

00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:15.430
because they're still going to be building under the

00:30:15.430 --> 00:30:16.640
initial Robeson PD

00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:22.589
that was adopted in 1999. Maybe this is not the place or

00:30:22.589 --> 00:30:23.480
the time to ask this

00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.029
question but again one of the concerns about when you're

00:30:26.029 --> 00:30:26.559
doing new

00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:31.660
developments and it has to meet this minimum requirement

00:30:31.660 --> 00:30:33.160
was there something

00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:35.480
about homeowners being notified when you go in and buy a

00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:36.400
new home in their new

00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:40.160
planned community that they're to be notified that hey you

00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:41.920
live within 250,

00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:46.319
500 feet of gas well is that something we address here?

00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:48.039
Well that's correct and

00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:53.140
it's actually part of Robeson's management plan so they do

00:30:53.140 --> 00:30:53.720
notify

00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:56.779
homeowners of that again through the zoning but if that

00:30:56.779 --> 00:30:57.920
zoning were to ever

00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:00.710
be amended then we would have the opportunity to get a

00:31:00.710 --> 00:31:02.359
unified plan that

00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:05.240
the surface developer which I think is Robeson development

00:31:05.240 --> 00:31:06.279
and in this case the

00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:10.079
operator would would come in and set new setback distance

00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:11.599
and all of the new

00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:15.960
ordinance would kind of then be triggered. Thank you. I

00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:16.720
think maybe

00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:19.539
Darren can maybe clarify this I think maybe the issue is

00:31:19.539 --> 00:31:20.440
this because this is

00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:23.490
a master plan community even though it's a small section

00:31:23.490 --> 00:31:25.279
that's being brought

00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:28.960
before us it is just a small piece of something that was

00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:30.160
done many years ago

00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:33.230
and the rules and the guidelines for that were set in place

00:31:33.230 --> 00:31:34.240
so to your point

00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:38.240
even though we have new gas well regulations those affect

00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:38.599
new

00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:42.759
developments this is a old development that is a master

00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:43.599
plan development that

00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:45.900
has already got the criteria and it's already been pre-

00:31:45.900 --> 00:31:46.960
approved and I think

00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:50.450
maybe that's the distinction where is that why are we not

00:31:50.450 --> 00:31:51.440
doing it here and

00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:55.069
and there may want to even clear that even better than what

00:31:55.069 --> 00:31:56.039
I just stated.

00:31:56.039 --> 00:32:00.160
That's a good point Chairman and one of the things that

00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:01.920
will will possibly change

00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:05.059
is if that operator came in and it modified that large-

00:32:05.059 --> 00:32:06.359
scale development so

00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:09.779
again we're looking at one little piece that has pointed

00:32:09.779 --> 00:32:11.039
out so that's kind of

00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:14.240
part of the confusion. Because of the time frame on it our

00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:14.319
answers are still coming in.

00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:17.359
Well it's an existing project and so it kind of goes to

00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:19.599
unfortunately some of the

00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:21.490
new members may have missed some of the things that have to

00:32:21.490 --> 00:32:22.000
do with called

00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:25.509
vesting and I think kind of goes to Commissioner Hussbuss

00:32:25.509 --> 00:32:26.480
questions earlier

00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:29.240
as you go through the process once you begin the process

00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:30.240
these are the rules

00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:34.160
that you work under and so this project was begun a long

00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:35.440
time ago and the rules

00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:37.609
were set for it and there as long as they work under those

00:32:37.609 --> 00:32:38.319
rules and don't

00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:41.029
make a large change or a zoning change that would trigger

00:32:41.029 --> 00:32:42.000
them to come under

00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:45.410
the new rules they work under the rules when their project

00:32:45.410 --> 00:32:46.160
was originally

00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:50.700
approved. On new projects once those begin whatever the

00:32:50.700 --> 00:32:52.400
rules the laws that

00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:56.759
we have in place follow that at that time and same thing in

00:32:56.759 --> 00:32:57.359
the future and

00:32:57.359 --> 00:33:00.599
it's somewhat of a grandfather investing because existing

00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:02.440
properties you know if

00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:05.660
we make a new ordinance we can't go back so well you have

00:33:05.660 --> 00:33:07.039
to do an energy update

00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:09.859
on your home because new homes now have to be done this way

00:33:09.859 --> 00:33:10.759
and it's the same

00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:13.400
type of a principle on a development standpoint if that

00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:14.799
makes sense as to why

00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:18.069
it follows some places and others and it's taken the rest

00:33:18.069 --> 00:33:19.000
of us a while to

00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:22.680
understand why does it happen here and not at other places

00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:23.680
and that's the

00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:27.359
reason on this deal. I would just like to make a point for

00:33:27.359 --> 00:33:29.359
the record that that was just a

00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:32.809
general overview of our vesting process and may or may not

00:33:32.809 --> 00:33:33.799
apply to a particular

00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:36.799
piece of property and the chairman is not passing judgment

00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:37.359
on whether or not

00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:41.000
this particular applicant has vested rights. Thank you for

00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:43.920
the clarification.

00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:50.579
All right I think we have now addressed all of the consent

00:33:50.579 --> 00:33:55.920
agenda items. I think

00:33:55.920 --> 00:33:58.329
do we need to have any discussion about what we're doing on

00:33:58.329 --> 00:33:59.079
the individual

00:33:59.079 --> 00:34:05.119
consideration? No? Okay. I don't know how long

00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:07.200
presentations will be on these do we

00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:09.639
need to do food now or do we want to go ahead and get a few

00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:10.480
of these out of way

00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:14.079
and then do food? If I could make a suggestion not a

00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:15.320
recommendation but we

00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:20.719
have items 5a and 5b they're very straightforward standard

00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:22.480
replants they

00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:25.239
don't warrant discussion in my mind but if there are any

00:34:25.239 --> 00:34:26.440
questions that the team

00:34:26.440 --> 00:34:29.079
or the the Commission feels that they want to bring up we

00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:30.119
can do that however I

00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:32.480
would advise that we jump into our zoning change request

00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:33.079
and go through

00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:37.650
those they're they're pretty lengthy and I'd like to knock

00:34:37.650 --> 00:34:41.039
those out. I was

00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:44.090
thinking maybe if we could be done by 6 15 we would have 15

00:34:44.090 --> 00:34:47.239
minutes of free time.

00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:52.039
Okay if we can if not then we can okay we'll go ahead and

00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:52.940
get whatever the

00:34:52.940 --> 00:34:55.239
pleasure of the Commission. We'll take your recommendation

00:34:55.239 --> 00:34:56.000
we'll go ahead and

00:34:56.000 --> 00:35:03.920
does anybody have questions on items public hearing a or b?

00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:05.920
No? Seeing none

00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:10.219
then we're going to go ahead and move on to item C and Man

00:35:10.219 --> 00:35:10.760
al who will make that

00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:17.570
presentation. Item C is a request for a zoning change from

00:35:17.570 --> 00:35:20.119
PD 12 to RCCD I'm

00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:22.849
going to ask Julie Wyatt to make that presentation on

00:35:22.849 --> 00:35:23.920
behalf of Mike Bell.

00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:31.599
Thank you Julie. Good evening Julie Wyatt associate planner

00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:32.119
with the city of

00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:37.039
Denton I'm presenting Z15-5 Toyota of Denton. The request

00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:37.760
before you is to

00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:41.909
consider rezoning the subject property out of PD 12 and

00:35:41.909 --> 00:35:43.360
into a regional center

00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:46.869
commercial downtown zoning district the site's

00:35:46.869 --> 00:35:49.739
approximately 15 acres. Just to

00:35:49.739 --> 00:35:53.889
orient you it is located on I-35 here is State School Road

00:35:53.889 --> 00:35:55.079
so it's south of

00:35:55.079 --> 00:36:00.539
State School and Post Oak is down in this area. A little

00:36:00.539 --> 00:36:01.920
bit of background the

00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:05.730
original PD 12 was created in 1980 and it originally

00:36:05.730 --> 00:36:07.719
encompassed 109 acres and

00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:14.159
you can see it there in the green. In 1986 the concept plan

00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:14.940
was amended for

00:36:14.940 --> 00:36:18.989
74 acres and I know y'all went over PDs a couple of

00:36:18.989 --> 00:36:20.840
sessions ago but just to

00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:24.070
just to refresh your memory there's kind of a two-step

00:36:24.070 --> 00:36:26.000
process to the zoning of

00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:29.159
a PD would be the concept plan which kind of lays out the

00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:30.320
uses where those

00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:33.809
would go and then the second part is the detail plan which

00:36:33.809 --> 00:36:34.860
looks at more of a

00:36:34.860 --> 00:36:37.289
site specific where the parking would go where the

00:36:37.289 --> 00:36:38.719
buildings would go the open

00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:42.539
areas so the concept plan was for this PD was amended in

00:36:42.539 --> 00:36:44.519
1986 to change where

00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:48.369
some of the uses would be and what those uses would be. The

00:36:48.369 --> 00:36:49.960
concept plan was then

00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:55.409
amended again in 87 for 43 of those acres and then in 2001

00:36:55.409 --> 00:36:57.239
and 2004 detail

00:36:57.239 --> 00:37:00.909
plans were approved for both Toyota and Honda which are the

00:37:00.909 --> 00:37:01.920
sites in question

00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:07.599
tonight and the zoning map has changed since that time so

00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:09.199
so here is the

00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:12.960
original PD 12 here's what's left of it to the north

00:37:12.960 --> 00:37:14.159
adjacent to State School

00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:17.630
that was rezoned out of the PD in 1999 and then the

00:37:17.630 --> 00:37:19.079
property adjacent to the

00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:24.719
subject site was was zoned out of the PD in 2005. The site

00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:26.000
is located in a

00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:30.119
regional mixed-use future land use designation at per the

00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:31.599
Denton plan 2030

00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:35.849
this area is intended to have high density residential

00:37:35.849 --> 00:37:37.400
urban form commercial

00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:41.409
development that's supposed to draw in people not just from

00:37:41.409 --> 00:37:42.679
its specific area

00:37:42.679 --> 00:37:47.329
but from the greater region so it's supposed to have a

00:37:47.329 --> 00:37:49.159
larger draw. The way

00:37:49.159 --> 00:37:52.760
the property has developed with the Honda and the D and the

00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:53.800
Toyota dealerships

00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:57.679
it really does meet this future land use designation

00:37:57.679 --> 00:38:02.280
require goal and intent. Back

00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:07.380
to the background in 2001 the detail plan for Toyota did

00:38:07.380 --> 00:38:08.119
also have some

00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:13.219
conditions those included conditions regarding lighting

00:38:13.219 --> 00:38:14.119
irrigation for

00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:17.630
landscaping the public address speakers and then some

00:38:17.630 --> 00:38:18.920
additional conditions

00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:21.239
regarding the construction of the site where the temporary

00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:22.039
sales office would

00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:26.469
be and then and then the trees. Honda also had some

00:38:26.469 --> 00:38:28.679
conditions also included

00:38:28.679 --> 00:38:31.139
lighting the public address speakers and then also

00:38:31.139 --> 00:38:32.280
addressed some future

00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:36.969
development in a detention pond on the site. So when staff

00:38:36.969 --> 00:38:38.519
analyzed this request

00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:41.510
we looked at some condition or some considerations. First

00:38:41.510 --> 00:38:42.119
the site is

00:38:42.119 --> 00:38:45.880
developed consistent with the RCCD zoning designation which

00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:46.440
they are

00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:49.909
proposing. It is also developed in accordance with the

00:38:49.909 --> 00:38:50.920
future land use

00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:56.400
designation so it meets those requirements. Second

00:38:56.400 --> 00:38:57.360
consideration was

00:38:57.360 --> 00:39:00.389
that the approval of this would remove the conditions that

00:39:00.389 --> 00:39:01.199
were set on the

00:39:01.199 --> 00:39:05.110
site with the approval of the detail plans. But when we

00:39:05.110 --> 00:39:06.360
look deeper at that we

00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:08.650
saw that four of the conditions were related to the

00:39:08.650 --> 00:39:09.920
original construction and

00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:13.389
really are no longer applicable. That lighting is now

00:39:13.389 --> 00:39:14.579
regulated with the dent

00:39:14.579 --> 00:39:17.739
and development code in sub chapter 13 and it really does

00:39:17.739 --> 00:39:18.679
meet the intent it

00:39:18.679 --> 00:39:21.650
shields the the adjacent property owners as well as the

00:39:21.650 --> 00:39:22.800
night sky those are the

00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:26.719
requirements of the dent development code. The noise is now

00:39:26.719 --> 00:39:28.079
addressed in the

00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:31.590
code of ordinances and the detention pond that was

00:39:31.590 --> 00:39:33.760
addressed is heavily

00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:36.639
encumbered by easements and if they were to develop that

00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:38.000
that plat what you would

00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:41.510
have to be replatted and that would come before this

00:39:41.510 --> 00:39:43.880
Commission. So the request

00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:48.590
does meet the criteria for rezoning in the DDC and that

00:39:48.590 --> 00:39:49.619
criteria for approval

00:39:49.619 --> 00:39:53.420
is is located in sub chapter 3 and first that the proposed

00:39:53.420 --> 00:39:54.679
rezoning meets the

00:39:54.679 --> 00:39:58.690
the future land use element in the dent and plan 2030 and

00:39:58.690 --> 00:39:59.880
that also the proposed

00:39:59.880 --> 00:40:02.039
rezoning facilitates the adequate provision of

00:40:02.039 --> 00:40:03.599
transportation, water, sewer

00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:08.730
schools, other public requirements. Public notification was

00:40:08.730 --> 00:40:10.360
sent out. We have not

00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:14.429
received any responses in opposition or in favor. So based

00:40:14.429 --> 00:40:15.280
upon the

00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:18.510
considerations presented and the criteria for approval

00:40:18.510 --> 00:40:19.199
staff does

00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:25.199
recommend approval of this rezoning. I'll stand for any

00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:25.239
questions.

00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:29.940
Commissioner Begg. Thank you Chair. And this is just a I

00:40:29.940 --> 00:40:31.559
guess a general question so

00:40:31.559 --> 00:40:37.510
this is land the owner is TT of Denton Incorporated? Is

00:40:37.510 --> 00:40:38.239
that that's what it's

00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:42.840
showing here? Yes sir. Okay and so Toyota and Honda are le

00:40:42.840 --> 00:40:45.440
asing from them? I'm not

00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:50.539
quite sure how how their business structure is set out. We

00:40:50.539 --> 00:40:51.440
have to make

00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:55.500
sure that the owner of the property is is requesting the

00:40:55.500 --> 00:40:56.920
rezoning so if the

00:40:56.920 --> 00:40:59.949
owner is requesting the zoning then the rezoning can move

00:40:59.949 --> 00:41:02.000
forward. Did he by any

00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:04.739
chance give any indication I mean why would want to rezone

00:41:04.739 --> 00:41:06.000
it? Has he got some

00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:09.159
ideas in mind? Well I spoke with the project manager on

00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:10.119
that because I thought

00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:13.280
that would be a question that I would get and you know

00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:14.559
these aren't a plan

00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:17.789
development and when those detailed plans were approved a

00:41:17.789 --> 00:41:18.599
site plan was

00:41:18.599 --> 00:41:22.800
tied to that as well as elevations and other specifics to

00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:24.079
the site. The sites

00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:26.630
have now been developed and in some cases they've they've

00:41:26.630 --> 00:41:27.480
done some tweaks

00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:31.230
and some redevelopment which is required because it's a PD

00:41:31.230 --> 00:41:31.920
to go back

00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:34.840
through the zoning process if they want to make changes to

00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:35.840
say elevations or

00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:40.940
change some of the parking area and so in order to simplify

00:41:40.940 --> 00:41:42.079
and provide a

00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:45.679
little more flexibility for the applicant the RCCD does

00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:46.559
meet the future

00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:50.789
land use element and it does conform to that zoning so you

00:41:50.789 --> 00:41:52.280
know we worked with

00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:55.349
them and felt like that was an appropriate way for them to

00:41:55.349 --> 00:41:55.679
move

00:41:55.679 --> 00:42:00.840
forward. Does that answer your question? I think so. He

00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:06.079
just indicated though that this opened up the opportunity

00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:09.119
as a regional activity center is

00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:13.119
considerably larger more diverse its land use it includes

00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:17.079
vertically integrated uses so we're talking about. He could

00:42:17.079 --> 00:42:22.880
it could redevelop in accordance with the with that zoning

00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:23.800
designation yes sir.

00:42:23.800 --> 00:42:26.500
Okay but he hadn't given us any idea. We have not been

00:42:26.500 --> 00:42:32.800
given an indication that that's what we have. Thank you.

00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:35.880
Commissioner Taylor. Thank you Chair. I just wanted to add

00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:36.079
a little

00:42:36.079 --> 00:42:40.199
clarification on this too whenever we was it earlier this

00:42:40.199 --> 00:42:41.360
year or last year we

00:42:41.360 --> 00:42:45.079
had a case before us on adjusting the site plan and they

00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:46.599
wanted to change the

00:42:46.599 --> 00:42:49.539
shrubbery but that's a change to the site plan the way the

00:42:49.539 --> 00:42:50.559
PD was written they

00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:54.699
had to come to P&Z and I think I was among several members

00:42:54.699 --> 00:42:55.579
of the Commission

00:42:55.579 --> 00:42:58.440
who suggested it would be better to just rezone it out of a

00:42:58.440 --> 00:42:59.199
PD and into an

00:42:59.199 --> 00:43:03.900
appropriate zoning category. In my opinion a lot of times

00:43:03.900 --> 00:43:04.920
plan developments

00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:08.969
were used as a quick and easy way to get the use that a

00:43:08.969 --> 00:43:11.559
landowner needed or maybe

00:43:11.559 --> 00:43:14.239
they had a parcel of land and they wanted half of it in one

00:43:14.239 --> 00:43:15.039
use and half of

00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:18.420
it in another use they would put together a PD with a site

00:43:18.420 --> 00:43:19.360
plan and get it

00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:21.800
sold you know get it get it through planning and zoning

00:43:21.800 --> 00:43:23.159
back 10 20 30 years

00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:27.409
ago and they would build the project but then they wrote

00:43:27.409 --> 00:43:28.280
the PD so

00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:32.199
restrictively there is only one valid use it has things

00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:33.079
like shrubbery on the

00:43:33.079 --> 00:43:36.940
site plan it requires you know an application to move a

00:43:36.940 --> 00:43:38.280
tree things like

00:43:38.280 --> 00:43:45.119
that so often PDs were not well managed and now 30 years

00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:45.960
later or 40 years later

00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:49.840
you have something that's designed for 1980 and doesn't

00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:51.039
meet any of our current

00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:53.739
standards and by law they can't do anything about it they

00:43:53.739 --> 00:43:54.559
have to that's

00:43:54.559 --> 00:43:56.960
the only thing they're allowed to do. So this kind of

00:43:56.960 --> 00:43:58.440
changes keeps him from being

00:43:58.440 --> 00:44:01.449
hamstrung on every little change. Yeah and I feel

00:44:01.449 --> 00:44:02.679
personally I feel like this

00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:05.940
moves it into a more appropriate and they could they're

00:44:05.940 --> 00:44:06.960
probably not going to

00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:09.039
change the car dealership anytime soon but if they wanted

00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:10.000
to 10 years from now

00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:13.679
they could do put some of their use on there but they could

00:44:13.679 --> 00:44:14.280
change their

00:44:14.280 --> 00:44:17.570
shrubbery or move a building or you know things like that

00:44:17.570 --> 00:44:18.440
put up an entryway

00:44:18.440 --> 00:44:25.170
which would require an active. Well to add to that I think

00:44:25.170 --> 00:44:26.320
it it makes the

00:44:26.320 --> 00:44:30.969
developers project much easier to move it removes a step

00:44:30.969 --> 00:44:31.900
they still have to

00:44:31.900 --> 00:44:34.440
meet all of our ordinance from a building inspections and a

00:44:34.440 --> 00:44:35.000
construction

00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:38.510
standpoint so they basically skip coming before us and go

00:44:38.510 --> 00:44:39.960
strictly to building

00:44:39.960 --> 00:44:43.940
inspections and and make whatever change they need to make

00:44:43.940 --> 00:44:45.079
as long as it is in

00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:49.489
accordance with ordinances so it's just as a easier we're

00:44:49.489 --> 00:44:50.159
not having to see

00:44:50.159 --> 00:44:54.949
every single change because it's a PD. Any other questions

00:44:54.949 --> 00:44:55.679
on this particular

00:44:55.679 --> 00:45:05.199
item? Okay I'll move on to item D. Judy White still gonna

00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:07.960
stand there and make this one as well.

00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:14.559
All right this is Z1525 loves travel stop. This request is

00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:15.280
to consider making

00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:18.170
a recommendation to City Council regarding a rezoning from

00:45:18.170 --> 00:45:18.719
regional

00:45:18.719 --> 00:45:22.610
center commercial neighborhood to employment center and

00:45:22.610 --> 00:45:23.599
commercial on

00:45:23.599 --> 00:45:30.050
approximately 15-16 acres. The subject property is located

00:45:30.050 --> 00:45:30.960
on the north side of

00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:35.639
the city it is here's I-35 and here's Bartold Road so it's

00:45:35.639 --> 00:45:37.960
on the north side.

00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:41.570
Some background originally the site was a truck stop car

00:45:41.570 --> 00:45:42.800
wash convenience store

00:45:42.800 --> 00:45:46.690
warehouse and truck storage as you might know it burned in

00:45:46.690 --> 00:45:48.480
2008 the convenience

00:45:48.480 --> 00:45:52.869
store did so it's so it's been in that condition you know

00:45:52.869 --> 00:45:54.400
since then ready for

00:45:54.400 --> 00:45:58.559
redevelopment so in light of that staff met with the

00:45:58.559 --> 00:46:00.880
applicant in 2013 to

00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:04.090
discuss the redevelopment of the site into a truck stop

00:46:04.090 --> 00:46:05.360
which the uses would

00:46:05.360 --> 00:46:08.389
include a convenience store, gasoline sales, restaurants

00:46:08.389 --> 00:46:11.440
and also truck repair.

00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:17.389
Because truck repair is not permitted in the current zoning

00:46:17.389 --> 00:46:18.920
district staff at

00:46:18.920 --> 00:46:23.239
that time in 2013 recommended that they pursue an RCCD

00:46:23.239 --> 00:46:24.639
zoning district because

00:46:24.639 --> 00:46:30.590
it was consistent with the Denton plan 1999 that area was

00:46:30.590 --> 00:46:32.360
was considered to be

00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:36.789
a regional mixed-use area for that future land use map and

00:46:36.789 --> 00:46:38.039
so the RCCD fit

00:46:38.039 --> 00:46:42.449
within that but also permitted the vehicle repair. Fast

00:46:42.449 --> 00:46:45.159
forward in 2014 we

00:46:45.159 --> 00:46:49.099
approved the Denton plan 2030 and we changed the future

00:46:49.099 --> 00:46:50.440
land use designation

00:46:50.440 --> 00:46:54.510
of this property to business innovation and just a little

00:46:54.510 --> 00:46:55.840
bit of history on that

00:46:55.840 --> 00:47:02.170
this area was designated as a regional center in 1998 I'm

00:47:02.170 --> 00:47:05.360
sorry 1988 and it was

00:47:05.360 --> 00:47:07.420
one of two so it was there was Golden Triangle Mall and

00:47:07.420 --> 00:47:08.199
then there was this

00:47:08.199 --> 00:47:12.650
area so they were anticipating that this would grow in a

00:47:12.650 --> 00:47:14.960
regional way after that

00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:18.469
a third regional center was added at I-35 and John Payne in

00:47:18.469 --> 00:47:19.920
1999 and Razor

00:47:19.920 --> 00:47:23.170
Ranch was then added in 2007 and then when you include

00:47:23.170 --> 00:47:24.239
downtown of that that's

00:47:24.239 --> 00:47:29.760
four regional centers and in doing the analysis for the

00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:32.059
comprehensive plan it

00:47:32.059 --> 00:47:35.300
was determined that Denton probably couldn't support four

00:47:35.300 --> 00:47:36.679
regional commercial

00:47:36.679 --> 00:47:40.280
centers so that's why they changed it to the business

00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:41.679
innovation and the changes

00:47:41.679 --> 00:47:44.320
or the differences are that the regional mixed-use which is

00:47:44.320 --> 00:47:45.039
what it was before

00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:48.940
was intended to promote high-density residential walkable

00:47:48.940 --> 00:47:50.440
urban area and a lot

00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:54.039
of commercial shopping areas. Business innovation changes

00:47:54.039 --> 00:47:55.280
that to be promote

00:47:55.280 --> 00:47:58.880
more employment centers but also keep that that commercial

00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:00.039
element in order to

00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:03.199
support those employment areas so it sort of takes out the

00:48:03.199 --> 00:48:04.239
the residential

00:48:04.239 --> 00:48:09.079
component. So then when we compare RCCN which is what it's

00:48:09.079 --> 00:48:10.539
owned as today to the

00:48:10.539 --> 00:48:16.309
proposed ECC both of them really permit the same commercial

00:48:16.309 --> 00:48:18.159
uses RCCN does

00:48:18.159 --> 00:48:22.710
permit the high-density multifamily whereas ECC permits

00:48:22.710 --> 00:48:23.679
light industrial but

00:48:23.679 --> 00:48:27.019
removes that multifamily so it's more consistent and in

00:48:27.019 --> 00:48:28.239
line with the future

00:48:28.239 --> 00:48:33.909
land use. So the considerations we looked at first this

00:48:33.909 --> 00:48:34.960
site has historically

00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:38.760
been a truck stop this area is ideal for this type of use

00:48:38.760 --> 00:48:39.880
it's the northern

00:48:39.880 --> 00:48:44.179
gateway to the city it's got it's got good access for the

00:48:44.179 --> 00:48:45.719
end user so it's it's

00:48:45.719 --> 00:48:51.809
an appropriate use for the area until the DDC is updated to

00:48:51.809 --> 00:48:53.440
be more in line

00:48:53.440 --> 00:48:57.590
with the new comprehensive plan. The ECC zoning is is

00:48:57.590 --> 00:48:59.119
consistent with that

00:48:59.119 --> 00:49:02.380
business innovation future land use element. The

00:49:02.380 --> 00:49:04.119
surrounding uses are

00:49:04.119 --> 00:49:08.010
primarily agricultural or commercial so it's not

00:49:08.010 --> 00:49:09.639
anticipated since there's no

00:49:09.639 --> 00:49:12.320
residential it's not anticipated that this use would would

00:49:12.320 --> 00:49:13.119
have an impact on

00:49:13.119 --> 00:49:16.789
the adjacent properties. Once again the criteria for appro

00:49:16.789 --> 00:49:18.000
vals in subchapter 3

00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:21.159
first the rezoning must be consistent with the future land

00:49:21.159 --> 00:49:22.320
use designation of

00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:24.480
the property and that it must facilitate the adequate

00:49:24.480 --> 00:49:25.079
provision of

00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:27.769
transportation water sewer schools and other public

00:49:27.769 --> 00:49:30.079
requirements. It does meet

00:49:30.079 --> 00:49:33.900
both of those requirements for for criteria for approval.

00:49:33.900 --> 00:49:34.380
Public

00:49:34.380 --> 00:49:39.619
notification it was sent out we have not received I take

00:49:39.619 --> 00:49:43.440
that back I looked on

00:49:43.440 --> 00:49:50.039
Mike's desk today and there were we received one letter

00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:51.539
neither in opposition

00:49:51.539 --> 00:49:54.360
or in favor there is an adjacent property owner who maybe

00:49:54.360 --> 00:49:55.760
has concerns but

00:49:55.760 --> 00:50:00.239
they have not said favorably or unfavorably to the project.

00:50:00.239 --> 00:50:01.119
So based

00:50:01.119 --> 00:50:04.130
upon the considerations and the criteria for approval staff

00:50:04.130 --> 00:50:04.920
does recommend

00:50:04.920 --> 00:50:08.360
approval of this rezoning.

00:50:10.960 --> 00:50:14.469
Commissioner Dudowitz. Can you put up this slide with

00:50:14.469 --> 00:50:15.960
regard to the current

00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:19.599
zoning for that whole area up there? Okay all right and

00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:21.800
that's current? Yes sir. Okay

00:50:21.800 --> 00:50:27.440
across the road is TA which is a compatible I mean the same

00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:28.199
convenience

00:50:28.199 --> 00:50:32.050
store tire shop repair shop for trucks convenience store

00:50:32.050 --> 00:50:33.199
gas station. Yes sir.

00:50:33.199 --> 00:50:38.960
And that is now a RCCD. Okay so this would be consistent

00:50:38.960 --> 00:50:41.360
with that? Well RCCD

00:50:41.360 --> 00:50:44.389
was actually more in line with the previous future land use

00:50:44.389 --> 00:50:45.360
designation and

00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:49.389
that's why we did recommend that this applicant pursue that

00:50:49.389 --> 00:50:51.239
RCCD back in 2013

00:50:51.239 --> 00:50:56.360
however with the new comprehensive plan RCCD really isn't

00:50:56.360 --> 00:50:57.039
kind of what we're

00:50:57.039 --> 00:50:59.940
getting to is again we're gonna have to address this for

00:50:59.940 --> 00:51:00.679
the other side of the

00:51:00.679 --> 00:51:04.880
road. Yes sir.

00:51:06.920 --> 00:51:11.079
Commissioner Bruegel. Thank you chair. Miss Wyatt there's a

00:51:11.079 --> 00:51:11.920
there's a residential

00:51:11.920 --> 00:51:17.980
home near this zoning request is that correct? I am not

00:51:17.980 --> 00:51:19.960
aware. Maybe I'm confusing.

00:51:19.960 --> 00:51:29.280
To the left. Yep. I'm looking at Google map. Okay thank you

00:51:29.280 --> 00:51:32.199
. So I was curious to know what kind of

00:51:32.199 --> 00:51:35.920
buffering requirements might be between this new this new

00:51:35.920 --> 00:51:37.239
zoning request and

00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:42.840
that residents? Vehicle repair is considered a commercial

00:51:42.840 --> 00:51:44.719
use and so let

00:51:44.719 --> 00:51:48.119
me get my code I want to verify. Okay.

00:51:53.880 --> 00:51:58.199
I think it's a type C but let me just verify.

00:52:05.559 --> 00:52:09.739
So commercial to single-family is a type C which is a 15

00:52:09.739 --> 00:52:11.559
foot planted strip 15

00:52:11.559 --> 00:52:17.510
foot landscape buffer. Okay. How 15 foot high? No 15 feet

00:52:17.510 --> 00:52:20.079
wide. It would require a

00:52:20.079 --> 00:52:23.519
combination of six evergreen and deciduous trees and 25 shr

00:52:23.519 --> 00:52:24.440
ubs per 100

00:52:24.440 --> 00:52:28.800
linear feet. Okay. Thank you.

00:52:29.599 --> 00:52:33.570
Commissioner Tater. Thank you chair. Just wanted to clarify

00:52:33.570 --> 00:52:34.400
that there's this

00:52:34.400 --> 00:52:39.250
little finger off of the bottom of that parcel shape and

00:52:39.250 --> 00:52:41.119
looking at the map it

00:52:41.119 --> 00:52:45.010
doesn't appear that are they purchasing an easement or

00:52:45.010 --> 00:52:46.519
purchasing a strip of land?

00:52:46.519 --> 00:52:52.920
That's a part of the property. It does sort of wrap around.

00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:54.800
Just so I'm clear

00:52:54.800 --> 00:52:58.230
that's that wrap around part is right at the edge of Foster

00:52:58.230 --> 00:52:59.599
's Western Ware? I

00:52:59.599 --> 00:53:05.639
believe so. Okay. All right. Well I think that's the little

00:53:05.639 --> 00:53:07.119
white box down there.

00:53:07.119 --> 00:53:15.239
It is. That's Foster's. Commissioner Rosale. So I have some

00:53:15.239 --> 00:53:17.599
concerns about traffic in the area

00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:23.550
specifically during workday mornings highway 1173 coming in

00:53:23.550 --> 00:53:28.960
from Crum. Any of

00:53:28.960 --> 00:53:34.280
the maps will work. There's a railroad track anyways on 11

00:53:34.280 --> 00:53:36.280
71 heading backwards

00:53:36.280 --> 00:53:41.219
and I know for one of my employees says it's backed up on

00:53:41.219 --> 00:53:43.840
1171 for individuals

00:53:43.840 --> 00:53:49.679
trying just to get on I-35 south above the loop. Is there a

00:53:49.679 --> 00:53:50.559
change of road

00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:54.559
suggested? What is that white line? Barthold Road is

00:53:54.559 --> 00:53:55.440
actually going to be

00:53:55.440 --> 00:53:59.190
realigned at some point and this is conceptual but it's

00:53:59.190 --> 00:54:00.159
going to line up

00:54:00.159 --> 00:54:04.719
with Elm at some point and I believe as a part of this

00:54:04.719 --> 00:54:06.119
development they'll be

00:54:06.119 --> 00:54:09.389
dedicating the right away for that. So it's actually going

00:54:09.389 --> 00:54:10.559
to hopefully improve

00:54:10.559 --> 00:54:17.949
the connectivity in the area in order to and Earl's gonna

00:54:17.949 --> 00:54:19.000
come up.

00:54:20.840 --> 00:54:24.619
Earl Escobar engineering. As part of the development when

00:54:24.619 --> 00:54:25.280
they come in for

00:54:25.280 --> 00:54:29.880
platting the requirement is going to be for them to realign

00:54:29.880 --> 00:54:31.199
Barthold Road to

00:54:31.199 --> 00:54:35.610
line up with the intersection of I-35 and 77 or Elm Street

00:54:35.610 --> 00:54:36.480
on the other side

00:54:36.480 --> 00:54:40.929
there. That's a signalized intersection there so and right

00:54:40.929 --> 00:54:41.079
now

00:54:41.079 --> 00:54:44.730
Barthold just kind of tees into the service road. And what

00:54:44.730 --> 00:54:45.679
is it doing back

00:54:45.679 --> 00:54:50.769
to the highway 1173 to the south there? You know what is it

00:54:50.769 --> 00:54:51.360
connecting back

00:54:51.360 --> 00:54:55.050
there? Eventually it's going to this road is going to

00:54:55.050 --> 00:54:58.000
become 1173 and Barthold

00:54:58.000 --> 00:55:03.099
will eventually be part of converge into 1170 the new

00:55:03.099 --> 00:55:04.760
alignment of 1173. So

00:55:04.760 --> 00:55:07.780
everyone coming in from Crum on highway 1173 would be rer

00:55:07.780 --> 00:55:08.480
outed up to that

00:55:08.480 --> 00:55:12.360
signaled light? That's correct. And not be having to wait?

00:55:12.360 --> 00:55:14.079
Not into that T intersection. So as part of the

00:55:14.079 --> 00:55:17.400
loves development they're going to realign Barthold Road up

00:55:17.400 --> 00:55:18.159
to this corner

00:55:18.159 --> 00:55:20.880
here of their property. They're going to abandon the

00:55:20.880 --> 00:55:22.599
existing Barthold Road and

00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:25.619
then then they're going to connect to the existing portion

00:55:25.619 --> 00:55:27.119
here. So

00:55:27.119 --> 00:55:31.519
essentially all the traffic will now be diverted into the

00:55:31.519 --> 00:55:32.239
signalized

00:55:32.239 --> 00:55:36.130
intersection and alleviate that traffic. So that partly

00:55:36.130 --> 00:55:37.360
addresses the issue

00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:40.239
because one of my issues is just the backup from warning

00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:41.679
traffic on 1173

00:55:41.679 --> 00:55:45.150
from individuals from Crum heading either into Denton or

00:55:45.150 --> 00:55:45.800
through Denton

00:55:45.800 --> 00:55:49.960
down to Dallas. The other concern I have is I can't really

00:55:49.960 --> 00:55:51.159
tell on this map but I

00:55:51.159 --> 00:55:55.949
estimated at that T&A about 90 semi trucks which back up

00:55:55.949 --> 00:55:57.480
southbound on Elm.

00:55:57.480 --> 00:56:04.039
So when they all exit TA on Elm it backs up there and it's

00:56:04.039 --> 00:56:05.000
it's nearly

00:56:05.000 --> 00:56:09.030
impossible on average one to two trucks can get through

00:56:09.030 --> 00:56:10.440
that light to get on to

00:56:10.440 --> 00:56:14.190
I-35 south. Is there any thought of or is the I-35

00:56:14.190 --> 00:56:16.119
expansion going to solve that

00:56:16.119 --> 00:56:21.960
underpass because that underpass is quite small?

00:56:21.960 --> 00:56:23.679
Unfortunately the widening

00:56:23.679 --> 00:56:28.849
project in this area is not going to happen until 2000 I

00:56:28.849 --> 00:56:31.460
say 2030. Right now

00:56:31.460 --> 00:56:36.199
the current widening project stops at 380. So part of me

00:56:36.199 --> 00:56:37.320
thinks that some of

00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:40.079
those 90 some odd trucks if they're heading south would

00:56:40.079 --> 00:56:41.119
just leverage the

00:56:41.119 --> 00:56:43.570
west side truck stop if it was available to them which

00:56:43.570 --> 00:56:44.800
could alleviate some of the

00:56:44.800 --> 00:56:46.400
traffic. It could alleviate now that they have a choice

00:56:46.400 --> 00:56:48.119
between. Exactly so I think there is a

00:56:48.119 --> 00:56:51.559
benefit to that but I am still concerned about individuals

00:56:51.559 --> 00:56:52.599
the thoroughfare from

00:56:52.599 --> 00:56:56.519
Crum to Denton is around that intersection and adding the

00:56:56.519 --> 00:56:57.000
potential

00:56:57.000 --> 00:57:00.280
increased traffic in restaurants I think we're gonna funnel

00:57:00.280 --> 00:57:02.159
even more traffic to

00:57:02.159 --> 00:57:05.389
that real small underpass. Well there's also an opportunity

00:57:05.389 --> 00:57:06.599
we haven't dived into

00:57:06.599 --> 00:57:10.699
the traffic studies as well as part of their plotting

00:57:10.699 --> 00:57:12.440
process but I think one

00:57:12.440 --> 00:57:15.650
of the comments was to analyze the need for a dedicated

00:57:15.650 --> 00:57:16.880
right turn lane for

00:57:16.880 --> 00:57:21.050
southbound Furnage Road on to I guess it's still be Barthol

00:57:21.050 --> 00:57:22.679
road to alleviate

00:57:22.679 --> 00:57:28.900
I mean if the trucks wanted to enter or be served by the

00:57:28.900 --> 00:57:30.400
site that right turn

00:57:30.400 --> 00:57:33.269
light would free up that traffic and alleviate that through

00:57:33.269 --> 00:57:34.239
lane or possibly

00:57:34.239 --> 00:57:36.440
even the turn lane. And I don't want to go on a rabbit

00:57:36.440 --> 00:57:38.280
trails traffic but is

00:57:38.280 --> 00:57:41.139
there any plans for loop 288 to help access Crum in the

00:57:41.139 --> 00:57:41.920
future I know it's

00:57:41.920 --> 00:57:47.099
dead in there but I don't know the future of loop 288. As

00:57:47.099 --> 00:57:51.280
is. Okay thank you.

00:57:51.280 --> 00:57:57.500
Commissioner Hatchbeth. Can you help we're right at the

00:57:57.500 --> 00:57:59.960
northern edge of the

00:57:59.960 --> 00:58:04.989
city or am I off? Where are we do you know generally where

00:58:04.989 --> 00:58:05.800
we are where are

00:58:05.800 --> 00:58:16.260
the boundary for city of? It's right here here's ETJ. Okay.

00:58:16.260 --> 00:58:17.519
There is some that goes

00:58:17.519 --> 00:58:30.559
up 35 but. Okay and again not to digress on traffic but it

00:58:30.559 --> 00:58:32.280
almost seems worse in

00:58:32.280 --> 00:58:36.730
my opinion to have through traffic under the underpass

00:58:36.730 --> 00:58:39.360
because it gives more

00:58:39.360 --> 00:58:44.030
options. Right now you have to turn left and from that

00:58:44.030 --> 00:58:46.920
intersection 1173 you

00:58:46.920 --> 00:58:50.659
don't have to wait for a light so you can turn right in

00:58:50.659 --> 00:58:51.719
rapid succession

00:58:51.719 --> 00:58:54.579
versus having to wait at a light for what it's worth down

00:58:54.579 --> 00:58:55.679
the road when that

00:58:55.679 --> 00:58:58.440
conversation comes. I just think options do I want to go

00:58:58.440 --> 00:58:59.280
straight do I want to

00:58:59.280 --> 00:59:02.239
turn and I think what is there one lane there currently I

00:59:02.239 --> 00:59:04.039
mean that that would

00:59:04.039 --> 00:59:12.000
be cumbersome. Thank you. Any other questions on this item?

00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:14.280
Okay we'll move

00:59:14.280 --> 00:59:21.989
on to this is going to be item E. Thank you I'm going to

00:59:21.989 --> 00:59:23.320
invite Ross Culbertson

00:59:23.320 --> 00:59:27.800
to make this presentation. Thank you Ross Culbertson senior

00:59:27.800 --> 00:59:30.400
planner. This is

00:59:30.400 --> 00:59:36.230
Pecan Park Z1524. This is a consideration before you for a

00:59:36.230 --> 00:59:38.280
rezoning to from

00:59:38.280 --> 00:59:41.070
neighborhood residential mixed use in our immune to

00:59:41.070 --> 00:59:42.599
neighborhood residential

00:59:42.599 --> 00:59:48.550
four on approximately 20 acres. To familiarize yourself

00:59:48.550 --> 00:59:49.639
with the site the

00:59:49.639 --> 00:59:53.519
zoning boundary under consideration is on the south side of

00:59:53.519 --> 00:59:54.519
East McKinney

00:59:54.519 --> 00:59:59.619
Street approximately 2,300 feet east of 4 Road which is

00:59:59.619 --> 01:00:01.159
here at this corner here

01:00:01.159 --> 01:00:08.039
in the north-south direction. Zoning request encompasses 20

01:00:08.039 --> 01:00:09.079
acres of an

01:00:09.079 --> 01:00:13.110
approximate 80 acre tract which is intended by the

01:00:13.110 --> 01:00:15.000
applicant for a complete

01:00:15.000 --> 01:00:18.030
single-family developed subdivision so you can see the

01:00:18.030 --> 01:00:19.239
division of where the

01:00:19.239 --> 01:00:23.269
boundary is today and what interests the property owner has

01:00:23.269 --> 01:00:24.840
. This map also is a

01:00:24.840 --> 01:00:28.829
good map to take a look at the natural and site context as

01:00:28.829 --> 01:00:30.000
you can see this is

01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:37.079
in a rural area off east area of Denton where left there's

01:00:37.079 --> 01:00:39.059
very rural context

01:00:39.059 --> 01:00:43.849
with homesteads there's a existing mobile home park up this

01:00:43.849 --> 01:00:45.199
way ranchettes

01:00:45.199 --> 01:00:49.559
over to the east. I want to point out that this area has

01:00:49.559 --> 01:00:50.440
some substantial

01:00:50.440 --> 01:00:55.940
trees and natural tree stands in the middle and the

01:00:55.940 --> 01:00:58.239
concrete runs to the

01:00:58.239 --> 01:01:04.480
south with some floodplain here over on the south side.

01:01:04.480 --> 01:01:06.519
What we want to do to

01:01:06.519 --> 01:01:09.639
that tonight is look at the zoning which we want to the

01:01:09.639 --> 01:01:10.239
applicant wants to

01:01:10.239 --> 01:01:14.659
rezone the NRMU portion as you can see in red over on this

01:01:14.659 --> 01:01:16.880
map includes a lot

01:01:16.880 --> 01:01:22.480
of leftover strip on the north side of McKinney and the

01:01:22.480 --> 01:01:23.360
subject property in a

01:01:23.360 --> 01:01:27.639
little bit on the south side of McKinney with the intended

01:01:27.639 --> 01:01:29.480
in our four zoning

01:01:29.480 --> 01:01:32.460
that will effectively create one complete district one

01:01:32.460 --> 01:01:33.400
complete zoning

01:01:33.400 --> 01:01:40.110
district to NR4 which is more compatible for development.

01:01:40.110 --> 01:01:41.920
Again I kind of want to

01:01:41.920 --> 01:01:45.989
point out what the NRMU designation is this was completed

01:01:45.989 --> 01:01:47.039
and zoned this way

01:01:47.039 --> 01:01:52.519
with the 2002 zoning update which has not developed to this

01:01:52.519 --> 01:01:53.559
intensity since

01:01:53.559 --> 01:01:58.440
that time and as you can see the intent was to create more

01:01:58.440 --> 01:01:59.719
of a encourage high

01:01:59.719 --> 01:02:05.329
density residential with town homes and apartments create

01:02:05.329 --> 01:02:07.159
nodes of neighborhood

01:02:07.159 --> 01:02:12.599
retail office very kind of intense uses that would kind of

01:02:12.599 --> 01:02:14.000
support neighborhoods

01:02:14.000 --> 01:02:18.119
around there and this zoning district prohibits single-

01:02:18.119 --> 01:02:19.480
family units so

01:02:19.480 --> 01:02:24.019
that is a concern if someone was to redevelop single-family

01:02:24.019 --> 01:02:25.960
at this time. In

01:02:25.960 --> 01:02:28.389
our analysis we will look at the future land use plan and

01:02:28.389 --> 01:02:29.320
kind of see how that

01:02:29.320 --> 01:02:33.300
guides us. The future land use map indicates rural areas so

01:02:33.300 --> 01:02:34.119
I want to point

01:02:34.119 --> 01:02:38.650
that kind of the in-between boundary here between McKinney,

01:02:38.650 --> 01:02:40.039
McKinney Street and the

01:02:40.039 --> 01:02:46.099
Pekong Creek area is rural in nature. The current NRMU does

01:02:46.099 --> 01:02:47.400
not fit within the

01:02:47.400 --> 01:02:50.760
character of that existing low density residential and and

01:02:50.760 --> 01:02:51.960
so does we have to

01:02:51.960 --> 01:02:56.199
point out that the NR4 does not fit with respect to the low

01:02:56.199 --> 01:02:57.679
density rural context.

01:02:57.679 --> 01:03:02.619
We are going to make a case otherwise though. However NR4

01:03:02.619 --> 01:03:04.079
is more compatible

01:03:04.079 --> 01:03:09.840
with the future land use uses in the area and more suited

01:03:09.840 --> 01:03:10.119
and more suited

01:03:10.119 --> 01:03:13.900
catalyst to spur future development. Essentially what we're

01:03:13.900 --> 01:03:14.679
looking at is

01:03:14.679 --> 01:03:19.539
we're not making any comprehensive plan map changes but

01:03:19.539 --> 01:03:21.840
essentially by rezoning

01:03:21.840 --> 01:03:30.789
this to NR4 we are kind of combining the the forces of

01:03:30.789 --> 01:03:31.599
residential

01:03:31.599 --> 01:03:34.570
development in this area which makes sense and staff is

01:03:34.570 --> 01:03:36.239
leaning is supporting

01:03:36.239 --> 01:03:40.760
that direction. This is the concept plan associated with

01:03:40.760 --> 01:03:42.760
the request we as a

01:03:42.760 --> 01:03:46.800
zoning we don't look at concept plans as guiding us but

01:03:46.800 --> 01:03:47.960
this is good information

01:03:47.960 --> 01:03:52.369
to show the intent of the development as a master plan

01:03:52.369 --> 01:03:54.440
community that is under a

01:03:54.440 --> 01:03:57.340
conservation and it shows effort towards a conservation

01:03:57.340 --> 01:03:58.639
development scheme a

01:03:58.639 --> 01:04:03.840
design idea which from the didn't plan encourages the cl

01:04:03.840 --> 01:04:05.199
ustering of lots

01:04:05.199 --> 01:04:10.710
reducing the full amount of developable area to maximize

01:04:10.710 --> 01:04:12.639
open space and since

01:04:12.639 --> 01:04:17.039
this property has beautiful pastoral areas that the

01:04:17.039 --> 01:04:19.519
applicant does find the

01:04:19.519 --> 01:04:22.599
need to maintain those areas and is designing a plan

01:04:22.599 --> 01:04:25.039
accordingly. So we

01:04:25.039 --> 01:04:31.840
create we consider that as a great great asset to the area.

01:04:31.840 --> 01:04:32.920
So under the

01:04:32.920 --> 01:04:37.440
considerations for you the NR4 zoning is more of an

01:04:37.440 --> 01:04:39.119
appropriate district to

01:04:39.119 --> 01:04:42.449
encourage low to moderate single-family units and to unify

01:04:42.449 --> 01:04:43.639
the entire property

01:04:43.639 --> 01:04:47.909
of the interest of the property developer. The land use

01:04:47.909 --> 01:04:49.000
pattern in this

01:04:49.000 --> 01:04:53.320
area has remained rural and has not necessitated the use

01:04:53.320 --> 01:04:54.760
uses permitted by

01:04:54.760 --> 01:04:59.699
NRMU zoning so logically we see that going through and then

01:04:59.699 --> 01:05:00.440
the conservation

01:05:00.440 --> 01:05:04.829
development design is a good response as a transitioning

01:05:04.829 --> 01:05:05.800
element for

01:05:05.800 --> 01:05:10.070
single-family development to be introduced in this area. We

01:05:10.070 --> 01:05:11.320
look at the

01:05:11.320 --> 01:05:17.269
didn't development plan sub chapter 3533 was list as in

01:05:17.269 --> 01:05:20.360
your backup report items

01:05:20.360 --> 01:05:25.849
A through E for criteria that do not conform to the future

01:05:25.849 --> 01:05:26.760
land use plan and

01:05:26.760 --> 01:05:31.519
and staff had assessed those items and really finds that

01:05:31.519 --> 01:05:32.719
each one of those

01:05:32.719 --> 01:05:38.480
criteria located by analyzing the land use pattern the

01:05:38.480 --> 01:05:39.960
density of the

01:05:39.960 --> 01:05:42.840
development to support the extension of city services to

01:05:42.840 --> 01:05:43.719
this area if it is

01:05:43.719 --> 01:05:47.760
rezoned and then if this rezoning does not isolate a

01:05:47.760 --> 01:05:50.019
certain district and by

01:05:50.019 --> 01:05:52.699
all means we're combining districts at this point. The

01:05:52.699 --> 01:05:54.440
other sub chapter for

01:05:54.440 --> 01:05:57.489
criteria will be the general guidelines for zoning

01:05:57.489 --> 01:05:59.719
amendments which again talk

01:05:59.719 --> 01:06:02.559
to the conformance of the land use element and facilitate

01:06:02.559 --> 01:06:03.440
the provision of

01:06:03.440 --> 01:06:09.000
city of services. Public notifications were made we

01:06:09.000 --> 01:06:11.320
received one in favor which

01:06:11.320 --> 01:06:15.619
is the major property owner on the north side and the

01:06:15.619 --> 01:06:17.760
applicant did a

01:06:17.760 --> 01:06:21.679
mail out themselves to see if they could solicit any extra

01:06:21.679 --> 01:06:23.760
information and

01:06:23.760 --> 01:06:28.860
none's been provided to me on any outcomes of that. So with

01:06:28.860 --> 01:06:30.320
that we are recommending

01:06:30.320 --> 01:06:35.150
approval as we see this as a positive for this area.

01:06:35.150 --> 01:06:38.400
Questions for staff? Commissioner Taylor.

01:06:38.400 --> 01:06:43.719
Thank You Chair. I actually have two questions. This so

01:06:43.719 --> 01:06:44.360
this rezoning is

01:06:44.360 --> 01:06:48.980
obviously anticipating development and we've in the past

01:06:48.980 --> 01:06:50.719
had discussion about

01:06:50.719 --> 01:06:56.090
post oak a mate the next major north-south arterial to the

01:06:56.090 --> 01:06:57.519
east. Will

01:06:57.519 --> 01:07:03.119
this as we're planning this are we leaving space for a

01:07:03.119 --> 01:07:04.280
major north-south

01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:06.730
arterial? I know at one point there was mention of the

01:07:06.730 --> 01:07:07.960
alignment of Trinity and

01:07:07.960 --> 01:07:11.559
this appears to basically take Trinity and tee it off and

01:07:11.559 --> 01:07:12.719
break it off into a

01:07:12.719 --> 01:07:21.559
subdivision. Consider that this alignment doesn't hit this

01:07:21.559 --> 01:07:22.159
property

01:07:22.159 --> 01:07:25.840
specifically it's closer to this area so it kind of swings

01:07:25.840 --> 01:07:27.119
I think it will go to

01:07:27.119 --> 01:07:31.019
or road in some way shape or form so it is kind of off this

01:07:31.019 --> 01:07:32.519
property but we are

01:07:32.519 --> 01:07:36.590
anticipating that this development needs to coordinate

01:07:36.590 --> 01:07:37.880
their points of access

01:07:37.880 --> 01:07:44.650
with that their affair for future development. I'll let

01:07:44.650 --> 01:07:45.920
Earl speak to that. Yes as part of the

01:07:45.920 --> 01:07:51.199
mobility plan amendment that PS Aurora has been I guess he

01:07:51.199 --> 01:07:52.119
made a couple of

01:07:52.119 --> 01:07:56.119
presentations to us already. As part of that amendment we

01:07:56.119 --> 01:07:57.199
are realigning post

01:07:57.199 --> 01:08:01.619
oak road actually to the west and it will intersect with 3

01:08:01.619 --> 01:08:03.199
80 away from the

01:08:03.199 --> 01:08:07.929
site but whenever a development in this area comes in we

01:08:07.929 --> 01:08:10.519
will ensure that the

01:08:10.519 --> 01:08:14.500
right of way is accounted for. A majority of the property

01:08:14.500 --> 01:08:15.719
where post oak will come

01:08:15.719 --> 01:08:19.750
through is a city property also as well. Okay so that that

01:08:19.750 --> 01:08:20.840
's good because the I

01:08:20.840 --> 01:08:23.579
think I know we've talked about a lot of options and the

01:08:23.579 --> 01:08:24.640
current map is from

01:08:24.640 --> 01:08:32.659
1999 then I just had another question regarding future land

01:08:32.659 --> 01:08:32.920
use

01:08:32.920 --> 01:08:38.520
so right now blue is it's listed as government but that's

01:08:38.520 --> 01:08:39.079
also an

01:08:39.079 --> 01:08:42.199
industrial area it's water treatment plant and a landfill

01:08:42.199 --> 01:08:43.600
is that correct?

01:08:43.600 --> 01:08:48.390
I believe that's where that is. Government institutional I

01:08:48.390 --> 01:08:50.640
'm not sure what the land

01:08:50.640 --> 01:08:55.060
uses were there before that they designated that. I believe

01:08:55.060 --> 01:08:55.359
I saw a

01:08:55.359 --> 01:09:03.520
treatment plant road which would be indicative. That's

01:09:03.520 --> 01:09:05.399
where the landfill is and then yeah.

01:09:05.399 --> 01:09:14.250
As an evaluation of future land use has that been evaluated

01:09:14.250 --> 01:09:15.239
to to make sure that

01:09:15.239 --> 01:09:17.939
these uses are compatible if that those are any necessary

01:09:17.939 --> 01:09:18.920
buffer will this

01:09:18.920 --> 01:09:22.789
prevent the full development of the landfill and the

01:09:22.789 --> 01:09:24.560
treatment plant or are

01:09:24.560 --> 01:09:30.510
they compatible? One of the things I think we need to asc

01:09:30.510 --> 01:09:32.359
ertain tonight is to

01:09:32.359 --> 01:09:35.520
determine it shows blue on future land use plan correct?

01:09:35.520 --> 01:09:36.439
Correct. And we know that

01:09:36.439 --> 01:09:38.840
there's a landfill out there I know that the landfill has a

01:09:38.840 --> 01:09:40.119
CIP program associated

01:09:40.119 --> 01:09:43.149
with it which there could be potential when we're talking

01:09:43.149 --> 01:09:44.439
about you know most

01:09:44.439 --> 01:09:47.470
issues are odor however related to setbacks and buffering

01:09:47.470 --> 01:09:48.079
those would have

01:09:48.079 --> 01:09:52.079
to be put into play adjacent to any residential development

01:09:52.079 --> 01:09:53.560
. And like I said

01:09:53.560 --> 01:09:55.539
I just want to make sure that at the beginning of the

01:09:55.539 --> 01:09:56.680
planning process here

01:09:56.680 --> 01:10:07.229
at the future land level. Yes. Any additional questions?

01:10:07.229 --> 01:10:07.880
Commissioner

01:10:07.880 --> 01:10:13.079
Bruegel. Thank you chair. Ross really when I when I saw

01:10:13.079 --> 01:10:14.239
this and I saw the

01:10:14.239 --> 01:10:17.239
conservation development design I got really excited

01:10:17.239 --> 01:10:18.199
because that was

01:10:18.199 --> 01:10:20.880
something that we approved like eight months ago when we

01:10:20.880 --> 01:10:21.880
approved the the

01:10:21.880 --> 01:10:24.560
comprehensive plan of the future this is the first time

01:10:24.560 --> 01:10:27.239
that I've seen that. So my

01:10:27.239 --> 01:10:31.130
question is and maybe this needs to be an item for future

01:10:31.130 --> 01:10:32.880
consideration or an

01:10:32.880 --> 01:10:35.560
item for a future agenda item but I'm wondering when are we

01:10:35.560 --> 01:10:36.479
gonna start seeing

01:10:36.479 --> 01:10:39.359
more of when are we gonna be updating that part of our

01:10:39.359 --> 01:10:40.600
development code so

01:10:40.600 --> 01:10:43.199
that we are seeing more of this conservation design I think

01:10:43.199 --> 01:10:43.520
it's a

01:10:43.520 --> 01:10:46.159
fantastic I think it's fantastic when are we gonna be

01:10:46.159 --> 01:10:47.760
seeing more of that? This was

01:10:47.760 --> 01:10:51.359
initiated by them the you know we can work with applicants

01:10:51.359 --> 01:10:52.479
whenever they come

01:10:52.479 --> 01:10:55.989
in into rural areas again it's kind of subject to the

01:10:55.989 --> 01:10:57.560
layering of densities

01:10:57.560 --> 01:11:00.640
from edges to edges and and if we find that it's

01:11:00.640 --> 01:11:02.520
appropriate we suggest it in

01:11:02.520 --> 01:11:06.220
our pre-application notes and due diligence in the

01:11:06.220 --> 01:11:08.239
beginning. So was this

01:11:08.239 --> 01:11:11.600
something that staff had encouraged the applicant to try

01:11:11.600 --> 01:11:12.520
and do or did the

01:11:12.520 --> 01:11:16.420
applicant come to the city and say I want to I want to do

01:11:16.420 --> 01:11:17.359
both issues there

01:11:17.359 --> 01:11:21.159
were things stated in our development because we had

01:11:21.159 --> 01:11:22.880
previous there was a

01:11:22.880 --> 01:11:27.670
previous preliminary plats for this project three to five

01:11:27.670 --> 01:11:29.199
years ago that

01:11:29.199 --> 01:11:33.239
allotted the whole development out and we had in our

01:11:33.239 --> 01:11:35.079
research found that

01:11:35.079 --> 01:11:38.140
that was kind of an inappropriate way to handle this piece

01:11:38.140 --> 01:11:39.920
of property with that

01:11:39.920 --> 01:11:43.079
we brought that information to the developer because they

01:11:43.079 --> 01:11:44.119
were looking for

01:11:44.119 --> 01:11:48.430
their background due diligence also and understood the

01:11:48.430 --> 01:11:49.479
context of you know the

01:11:49.479 --> 01:11:53.520
previous plans on this property and so they understood you

01:11:53.520 --> 01:11:54.840
know we could work

01:11:54.840 --> 01:11:57.279
with them on densities and I think that's something with

01:11:57.279 --> 01:11:57.960
conservation

01:11:57.960 --> 01:12:02.369
development we allow in our three in our four something

01:12:02.369 --> 01:12:04.079
that gives you what you

01:12:04.079 --> 01:12:08.100
need for lot counts but can vary that based on the amount

01:12:08.100 --> 01:12:09.159
of open space you're

01:12:09.159 --> 01:12:13.710
preserving okay and when so they were not required to have

01:12:13.710 --> 01:12:14.800
this conservation

01:12:14.800 --> 01:12:16.819
development even though it's in our comprehensive plan it's

01:12:16.819 --> 01:12:17.159
not in our

01:12:17.159 --> 01:12:20.670
development code yet so it's a respect it's a respect and a

01:12:20.670 --> 01:12:21.399
response to that

01:12:21.399 --> 01:12:25.430
and when when when will that be part of the development

01:12:25.430 --> 01:12:26.239
code that's something

01:12:26.239 --> 01:12:28.649
we'd have to add to code code amendment okay you'll be

01:12:28.649 --> 01:12:29.720
hearing from me at the

01:12:29.720 --> 01:12:34.819
end of tonight's session okay maybe because of what's there

01:12:34.819 --> 01:12:35.159
already

01:12:35.159 --> 01:12:38.029
Commissioner Dudowitz I'm sorry I'm just looking at the map

01:12:38.029 --> 01:12:39.159
there's a there's a lake

01:12:39.159 --> 01:12:43.029
or a pond there and it may be had been too expensive to

01:12:43.029 --> 01:12:44.640
develop there's these

01:12:44.640 --> 01:12:49.729
minutes there's a floodplain area so combination of things

01:12:49.729 --> 01:12:49.960
could have

01:12:49.960 --> 01:12:53.029
but I agree I think this is you know terrific in that

01:12:53.029 --> 01:12:54.600
regard too yeah we had

01:12:54.600 --> 01:12:57.100
I mean we had approved this as a city and this is the first

01:12:57.100 --> 01:12:57.760
time in eight

01:12:57.760 --> 01:13:00.750
months that we're seeing something like this so I just I'd

01:13:00.750 --> 01:13:01.960
like to see more of

01:13:01.960 --> 01:13:05.119
this come our way in the interim even though we don't have

01:13:05.119 --> 01:13:06.039
any and I apologize

01:13:06.039 --> 01:13:10.319
just jumped right in we don't have the development the Dent

01:13:10.319 --> 01:13:11.079
on Development Code

01:13:11.079 --> 01:13:13.270
and the comprehensive plan again we know that they're not

01:13:13.270 --> 01:13:14.159
talking to each other

01:13:14.159 --> 01:13:17.319
clearly understand that but we also know what elements of

01:13:17.319 --> 01:13:18.319
the comp plan are

01:13:18.319 --> 01:13:23.279
critical when we do meet we do impress upon our applicants

01:13:23.279 --> 01:13:25.159
the need for

01:13:25.159 --> 01:13:28.000
conservation development or the need for as much as

01:13:28.000 --> 01:13:29.600
possible but until we don't

01:13:29.600 --> 01:13:32.819
get to that point where we actually have an overhaul of the

01:13:32.819 --> 01:13:33.760
Denton Development

01:13:33.760 --> 01:13:37.260
Code and make sure that that point that's also addressed

01:13:37.260 --> 01:13:38.479
the future land use map

01:13:38.479 --> 01:13:41.640
and make sure everything is talking to each other right it

01:13:41.640 --> 01:13:42.800
's a work in progress

01:13:42.800 --> 01:13:47.119
but I would I would like to see more of this come our way

01:13:47.119 --> 01:13:49.199
good to state it on record and get it out there in the

01:13:49.199 --> 01:13:49.319
public too.

01:13:49.319 --> 01:13:53.520
yeah thank you any other questions on this item? No I've

01:13:53.520 --> 01:13:54.520
got two comments

01:13:54.520 --> 01:13:59.680
Commissioner Dunlats. Two comments before you go can you

01:13:59.680 --> 01:14:01.079
put the concept plan back up

01:14:01.079 --> 01:14:06.500
please and I want to make an observation kind of piggyback

01:14:06.500 --> 01:14:07.800
ing on you that this is

01:14:07.800 --> 01:14:10.670
obviously a developer initiated you know they're not

01:14:10.670 --> 01:14:11.960
required to do this and a lot

01:14:11.960 --> 01:14:14.560
times in our Commission we're always concerned the

01:14:14.560 --> 01:14:16.479
developers aren't green

01:14:16.479 --> 01:14:19.600
they aren't trying to do anything this individual although

01:14:19.600 --> 01:14:20.760
not required is

01:14:20.760 --> 01:14:24.489
trying to do that and it prompted my thought process about

01:14:24.489 --> 01:14:25.560
an issue that I've

01:14:25.560 --> 01:14:29.640
had about concerns about our density being lot coverage and

01:14:29.640 --> 01:14:30.479
I believe I've

01:14:30.479 --> 01:14:34.399
pointed out before that as we move into this new plan we're

01:14:34.399 --> 01:14:35.279
going to have to

01:14:35.279 --> 01:14:38.750
address our lot coverage because as we have these green

01:14:38.750 --> 01:14:40.199
spaces they're going to

01:14:40.199 --> 01:14:44.279
get a density transfer a lot will be smaller and then when

01:14:44.279 --> 01:14:46.279
we put our lot

01:14:46.279 --> 01:14:49.420
coverage percentages on these you're going to end up with a

01:14:49.420 --> 01:14:50.640
limited footprint

01:14:50.640 --> 01:14:53.279
so I want to bring that to staff's attention you may

01:14:53.279 --> 01:14:54.399
already be aware of

01:14:54.399 --> 01:14:57.520
that as we go forward that is going to become a bigger

01:14:57.520 --> 01:14:59.079
issue that we're going to

01:14:59.079 --> 01:15:03.399
have to revisit and address and those are my two comments

01:15:03.399 --> 01:15:06.159
and it's 615 and

01:15:06.159 --> 01:15:09.079
we're going to close. Commissioner Dunlats. I have a

01:15:09.079 --> 01:15:11.239
question when we do have

01:15:11.239 --> 01:15:13.960
questions that are outside the agenda when can we bring

01:15:13.960 --> 01:15:15.479
them up? When you put

01:15:15.479 --> 01:15:22.760
them on a future agenda. Well it just may not be a question

01:15:22.760 --> 01:15:24.039
that requires a lot

01:15:24.039 --> 01:15:27.329
I'm just questioning things. Yeah as long as you've appr

01:15:27.329 --> 01:15:28.800
ised the public what

01:15:28.800 --> 01:15:32.550
you're going to speak about then that's fine you can take

01:15:32.550 --> 01:15:33.680
two seconds you can

01:15:33.680 --> 01:15:36.319
take an hour but we have to put it on the agenda if it's

01:15:36.319 --> 01:15:37.279
outside of the agenda

01:15:37.279 --> 01:15:41.359
we can't speak on it. Although we have concluded items and

01:15:41.359 --> 01:15:42.800
we have future items

01:15:42.800 --> 01:15:45.750
for agenda then is that when we can bring it up? I think

01:15:45.750 --> 01:15:46.560
bring it up and speak

01:15:46.560 --> 01:15:50.239
about it limitedly. Go ahead. Limitedly in order to place

01:15:50.239 --> 01:15:51.199
it on a future agenda

01:15:51.199 --> 01:15:54.199
but not discuss it. I just want to know the process for

01:15:54.199 --> 01:15:55.119
doing it. Sure. Could be a

01:15:55.119 --> 01:15:58.029
simple yes/no answer but that's the appropriate place to

01:15:58.029 --> 01:15:59.000
bring it up correct?

01:15:59.000 --> 01:16:02.029
Correct. Or if it's a specific issue you can just come to

01:16:02.029 --> 01:16:03.199
staff direct about it

01:16:03.199 --> 01:16:08.300
well another thing. I think it has applicability to all the

01:16:08.300 --> 01:16:08.680
commissioners.

01:16:08.680 --> 01:16:13.600
Okay. It's now 6 16 and I'm going to close the work session

01:16:13.600 --> 01:16:15.159
and we'll break for

01:16:15.159 --> 01:16:17.960
meal. Thank you.

01:16:24.920 --> 01:16:29.029
Good evening and welcome to the City of Denton October 7th

01:16:29.029 --> 01:16:30.399
Planning and Zoning

01:16:30.399 --> 01:16:33.880
Commission meeting. This meeting has been duly posted and

01:16:33.880 --> 01:16:35.199
we have a quorum

01:16:35.199 --> 01:16:38.409
present. Our first item will be to give a Pledge of Alleg

01:16:38.409 --> 01:16:39.640
iance to the US flag

01:16:39.640 --> 01:16:43.000
followed by the Texas flag.

01:17:05.199 --> 01:17:12.399
Texas, one state, under God, one indivisible.

01:17:20.239 --> 01:17:25.420
The next item on our agenda is going to be presentation of

01:17:25.420 --> 01:17:28.279
the minutes.

01:17:33.840 --> 01:17:38.720
Commissioner Taylor. I move approval of the minutes.

01:17:46.159 --> 01:17:50.039
Commissioner Bruegel. I second the motion. The first and a

01:17:50.039 --> 01:17:52.159
second. Any questions or

01:17:52.159 --> 01:17:59.000
discussion? If not we will move for a vote on the board.

01:18:04.680 --> 01:18:16.319
The motion passes 7-0. We'll move on to the consent agenda.

01:18:26.359 --> 01:18:31.810
Commissioner Bruegel. I move approval of the consent agenda

01:18:31.810 --> 01:18:34.279
. Commissioner Dudowitz. I second.

01:18:34.279 --> 01:18:41.380
Is there any discussion or questions? Seeing none, call for

01:18:41.380 --> 01:18:44.119
a vote on the board.

01:18:50.720 --> 01:19:00.359
That motion passes 7-0. Moving on to item four, items for

01:19:00.359 --> 01:19:01.880
individual consideration.

01:19:01.880 --> 01:19:05.859
The first item we have is to consider and appoint a member

01:19:05.859 --> 01:19:07.119
of the Planning and

01:19:07.119 --> 01:19:10.420
Zoning Commission chair and vice chair positions. We took

01:19:10.420 --> 01:19:12.239
that action two weeks

01:19:12.239 --> 01:19:16.239
ago in work session. The reason it's on our agenda is

01:19:16.239 --> 01:19:17.560
because it was not posted

01:19:17.560 --> 01:19:20.949
correctly publicly. So this is the first meeting that we've

01:19:20.949 --> 01:19:22.560
had that action posted

01:19:22.560 --> 01:19:26.079
publicly correctly. And do we need to formalize that or is

01:19:26.079 --> 01:19:26.640
it just in the

01:19:26.640 --> 01:19:35.010
minutes? I would just go ahead and do a motion to ratify if

01:19:35.010 --> 01:19:35.520
anyone would like

01:19:35.520 --> 01:19:41.779
to sponsor a motion to ratify. Commissioner Taylor. Thank

01:19:41.779 --> 01:19:42.520
you chair. I

01:19:42.520 --> 01:19:46.409
move we ratify our previous election of Commissioner

01:19:46.409 --> 01:19:47.960
Strange as chair and

01:19:47.960 --> 01:19:51.560
Commissioner Bruegel as vice chair.

01:19:59.399 --> 01:20:05.039
Commissioner Rossell. I'll second the motion. Any questions

01:20:05.039 --> 01:20:07.439
or discussion?

01:20:07.439 --> 01:20:14.729
Seeing none, we will call for a vote on the board. That

01:20:14.729 --> 01:20:26.560
motion passes 7-0. It

01:20:26.560 --> 01:20:31.180
moves us to item five, our public hearings. And we have

01:20:31.180 --> 01:20:35.119
item A FR 15-0012

01:20:35.119 --> 01:20:39.090
and I will ask Menal to bring that forward. Thank you Chair

01:20:39.090 --> 01:20:39.680
person Strange.

01:20:39.680 --> 01:20:42.279
I'm going to ask Sophie Humer with the Planning Department

01:20:42.279 --> 01:20:43.000
to go ahead and

01:20:43.000 --> 01:20:47.279
present this final replant for the Razor Ranch Town Center

01:20:47.279 --> 01:20:48.880

with Greg Edwards Engineering Services, 1621 Amanda Coart,

01:26:54.760 --> 01:26:55.600
would like to open the

01:26:55.600 --> 01:27:03.189
public hearing for Z15-0015. Thank you Mr. Chair. I'm going

01:27:03.189 --> 01:27:04.039
to request Julie

01:27:04.039 --> 01:27:05.939
Wyatt with the Planning Department to make this

01:27:05.939 --> 01:27:07.239
presentation for a change in

01:27:07.239 --> 01:27:10.930
zoning from Plan Development District 12 to Regional Center

01:27:10.930 --> 01:27:11.640
Commercial

01:27:11.640 --> 01:27:16.739
Downtown. Good evening. I'm Julie Wyatt, Associate Planner

01:27:16.739 --> 01:27:18.880
and this is Z15-15

01:27:18.880 --> 01:27:23.369
Toyota-Denton. The request before you is to consider a rez

01:27:23.369 --> 01:27:24.920
oning from Plan

01:27:24.920 --> 01:27:28.760
Development 12 to Regional Center Commercial Downtown on an

01:27:28.760 --> 01:27:29.399
approximately

01:27:29.399 --> 01:27:34.350
15 acre tract. The subject property is located adjacent to

01:27:34.350 --> 01:27:36.279
I-35. It's south of

01:27:36.279 --> 01:27:41.210
State School and north of Post Oak Drive. Just a bit of

01:27:41.210 --> 01:27:43.079
background regarding the

01:27:43.079 --> 01:27:47.840
plan development. PD-12 was created in 1980 and it covered

01:27:47.840 --> 01:27:49.560
109 acres and it is

01:27:49.560 --> 01:27:57.640
the area in green. In 1986 that concept plan for the PD was

01:27:57.640 --> 01:27:59.960
amended for 74 of

01:27:59.960 --> 01:28:07.119
those original 109 acres. In 87 the concept plan was then

01:28:07.119 --> 01:28:08.000
amended again for

01:28:08.000 --> 01:28:13.949
43 of those acres. And then finally in 2001 and 2004 there

01:28:13.949 --> 01:28:14.720
were detailed plans

01:28:14.720 --> 01:28:21.609
approved for both Toyota and Honda at the site. This is how

01:28:21.609 --> 01:28:23.319
the zoning map looks

01:28:23.319 --> 01:28:29.390
today. The green part is the existing what's left of PD-12.

01:28:29.390 --> 01:28:30.760
The property to

01:28:30.760 --> 01:28:34.590
the north that is adjacent to State School Road it was z

01:28:34.590 --> 01:28:36.279
oned out of the PD

01:28:36.279 --> 01:28:42.100
in 1999 to RCCN and then in 2005 the property adjacent to

01:28:42.100 --> 01:28:43.279
it was zoned out of

01:28:43.279 --> 01:28:50.380
the PD to RCCD. The subject property is located in a mixed

01:28:50.380 --> 01:28:51.159
and a regional mixed

01:28:51.159 --> 01:28:55.659
use future land use category in accordance with with Denton

01:28:55.659 --> 01:28:57.159
Plan 2030.

01:28:57.159 --> 01:29:01.819
The proposal does meet the requirements of this future land

01:29:01.819 --> 01:29:03.520
use designation.

01:29:03.520 --> 01:29:06.710
Just a couple of other things to consider when the when the

01:29:06.710 --> 01:29:07.300
detailed

01:29:07.300 --> 01:29:10.770
plans were approved there were some conditions on those

01:29:10.770 --> 01:29:11.960
detailed plans. For

01:29:11.960 --> 01:29:15.869
Toyota the the the lighting was addressed in a condition as

01:29:15.869 --> 01:29:17.000
well as some lands and

01:29:17.000 --> 01:29:21.800
landscaped strip, public address speakers, and then some

01:29:21.800 --> 01:29:23.239
other conditions

01:29:23.239 --> 01:29:25.989
associated with the construction including the temporary

01:29:25.989 --> 01:29:26.800
sales office and

01:29:26.800 --> 01:29:31.279
and some tree protection. Honda also had some conditions on

01:29:31.279 --> 01:29:32.720
the detail plan. One

01:29:32.720 --> 01:29:36.189
being the lighting like like the Toyota and then also the

01:29:36.189 --> 01:29:37.119
public address

01:29:37.119 --> 01:29:40.670
speakers and then there is a detention pond on this site

01:29:40.670 --> 01:29:41.640
and there was a

01:29:41.640 --> 01:29:44.119
condition that future development would require an

01:29:44.119 --> 01:29:45.300
additional detail plan

01:29:45.300 --> 01:29:50.789
approval. So when we looked at the considerations regarding

01:29:50.789 --> 01:29:51.680
this rezoning

01:29:51.680 --> 01:29:54.319
request first of all we looked at that the site is

01:29:54.319 --> 01:29:56.399
consistent with the RCCD

01:29:56.399 --> 01:29:59.079
zoning designation as well as the future land use

01:29:59.079 --> 01:30:01.680
designation of the property. We

01:30:01.680 --> 01:30:05.279
also considered that the approval would remove the existing

01:30:05.279 --> 01:30:06.479
conditions that were

01:30:06.479 --> 01:30:08.989
put in place with the detail plan but when we dug a little

01:30:08.989 --> 01:30:09.920
deeper in that we

01:30:09.920 --> 01:30:12.600
looked at four of those conditions really were related to

01:30:12.600 --> 01:30:13.260
the original

01:30:13.260 --> 01:30:16.539
construction and are no longer applicable. That lighting is

01:30:16.539 --> 01:30:16.800
now

01:30:16.800 --> 01:30:20.090
addressed in sub chapter 13 and part of those requirements

01:30:20.090 --> 01:30:21.760
in sub chapter 13 do

01:30:21.760 --> 01:30:24.829
address the lighting of the adjacent properties as well as

01:30:24.829 --> 01:30:25.840
making sure that

01:30:25.840 --> 01:30:28.840
the lighting doesn't like the night sky so those are

01:30:28.840 --> 01:30:30.399
addressed. A noise is

01:30:30.399 --> 01:30:33.819
regulated by our code of ordinances and then the finally

01:30:33.819 --> 01:30:35.199
the detention pond it

01:30:35.199 --> 01:30:39.479
is heavily encumbered by easements and so if that did end

01:30:39.479 --> 01:30:41.239
up coming to develop it

01:30:41.239 --> 01:30:45.560
would have to be replatted. Furthermore the requirement

01:30:45.560 --> 01:30:46.880
does meet the criteria

01:30:46.880 --> 01:30:49.890
for or the the request does meet the criteria for approval

01:30:49.890 --> 01:30:50.560
and then didn't

01:30:50.560 --> 01:30:54.880
development code. That criteria for approval is outlined in

01:30:54.880 --> 01:30:55.800
sub chapter 3

01:30:55.800 --> 01:30:58.550
first that the proposed rezoning meets the future land use

01:30:58.550 --> 01:30:59.479
element of the dent

01:30:59.479 --> 01:31:02.699
plan in this case it does and then second that the proposed

01:31:02.699 --> 01:31:03.319
rezoning

01:31:03.319 --> 01:31:06.199
facilitates the adequate provision of transportation, water

01:31:06.199 --> 01:31:07.119
, sewer, schools,

01:31:07.119 --> 01:31:10.869
parks and other public requirements and it meets that

01:31:10.869 --> 01:31:12.560
requirement. Public

01:31:12.560 --> 01:31:16.359
notification was sent out and we received no letters in

01:31:16.359 --> 01:31:17.520
opposition or in

01:31:17.520 --> 01:31:21.630
favor so based upon the considerations and the criteria for

01:31:21.630 --> 01:31:22.640
approval staff does

01:31:22.640 --> 01:31:29.569
recommend approval of this rezoning case. Questions for

01:31:29.569 --> 01:31:30.520
staff?

01:31:33.000 --> 01:31:36.470
Seeing none. This is a public hearing anyone here that

01:31:36.470 --> 01:31:37.800
would like to speak on

01:31:37.800 --> 01:31:41.279
this item please come forward now.

01:31:44.960 --> 01:31:48.199
Seeing none I'm going to close the public hearing on this

01:31:48.199 --> 01:31:49.960
item and the chair

01:31:49.960 --> 01:31:56.210
would entertain a motion. Commissioner Dudowitz.

01:31:56.210 --> 01:31:58.920
Commissioner Rozelle. I second

01:31:58.920 --> 01:32:03.590
motion. The first and the second is there any further

01:32:03.590 --> 01:32:04.520
discussion or

01:32:04.520 --> 01:32:07.039
clarification?

01:32:08.960 --> 01:32:13.600
Seeing none we'll call for a vote on the board.

01:32:21.439 --> 01:32:30.319
The motion carries 7-0. We'll move us to item 5D I would

01:32:30.319 --> 01:32:31.640
like to open the public

01:32:31.640 --> 01:32:40.010
hearing for Z15-0025. Thank you Mr. Person Strange. I will

01:32:40.010 --> 01:32:40.359
request

01:32:40.359 --> 01:32:42.960
Julie Wyatt to come forward and make this presentation for

01:32:42.960 --> 01:32:43.720
a zoning change

01:32:43.720 --> 01:32:53.880
from RCCN to ECC. Good evening this is Z15-25. I'm Julie

01:32:53.880 --> 01:32:55.279
Wyatt associate planner.

01:32:55.279 --> 01:33:00.039
The request before you is to consider a recommendation to

01:33:00.039 --> 01:33:02.829
City Council regarding a rezoning request from Regional

01:33:02.829 --> 01:33:03.800
Center Commercial

01:33:03.800 --> 01:33:07.579
Neighborhood to Employment Center Commercial on

01:33:07.579 --> 01:33:09.800
approximately 15 acres.

01:33:09.800 --> 01:33:13.640
The subject property is is located on the north side of the

01:33:13.640 --> 01:33:15.000
city. It is

01:33:15.000 --> 01:33:23.279
adjacent to I-35 and south of Bartold Road. Just a

01:33:23.279 --> 01:33:24.479
background on the site it

01:33:24.479 --> 01:33:27.439
was originally a truck stop car wash convenience store

01:33:27.439 --> 01:33:28.600
warehouse and truck

01:33:28.600 --> 01:33:35.909
storage. It what the convenience store did burn in 2008. So

01:33:35.909 --> 01:33:37.000
in order to

01:33:37.000 --> 01:33:39.840
facilitate the redevelopment of the site staff met with the

01:33:39.840 --> 01:33:42.279
applicant in 2013 to

01:33:42.279 --> 01:33:45.420
discuss how they move forward. They wanted to move forward

01:33:45.420 --> 01:33:46.279
with a convenience

01:33:46.279 --> 01:33:50.479
store, gasoline sales, restaurants and a truck repair. The

01:33:50.479 --> 01:33:51.159
current zoning

01:33:51.159 --> 01:33:57.529
of RCCN does not permit truck repair. So at that time based

01:33:57.529 --> 01:34:01.079
upon Dent Plan 1999

01:34:01.079 --> 01:34:05.920
that future land use staff recommended the applicant rezone

01:34:05.920 --> 01:34:06.680
the property or

01:34:06.680 --> 01:34:12.920
pursue a rezoning to RCCD. That was consistent with the

01:34:12.920 --> 01:34:14.039
Regional Center

01:34:14.039 --> 01:34:18.260
Commercial future land use designation of the property at

01:34:18.260 --> 01:34:20.680
the time. However fast

01:34:20.680 --> 01:34:23.470
forward and a new comprehensive or an update to the

01:34:23.470 --> 01:34:25.000
comprehensive plan has been

01:34:25.000 --> 01:34:28.789
passed and that's Dent Plan 2030 and it changed the area

01:34:28.789 --> 01:34:29.920
from that Regional

01:34:29.920 --> 01:34:34.220
Commercial Center to Business Innovation for a future land

01:34:34.220 --> 01:34:35.479
use designation. And

01:34:35.479 --> 01:34:39.829
just a little bit of history on that. So this area was

01:34:39.829 --> 01:34:41.680
designated for Regional

01:34:41.680 --> 01:34:49.800
Center Commercial in 1998, 1988 sorry. It was it was this

01:34:49.800 --> 01:34:52.560
center as well as the

01:34:52.560 --> 01:34:56.760
mall. So there were there were two of them. Then in 1999 an

01:34:56.760 --> 01:34:58.159
additional Regional

01:34:58.159 --> 01:35:03.560
Commercial Center was brought in and that was at I-35 and

01:35:03.560 --> 01:35:04.840
John Paine.

01:35:04.840 --> 01:35:10.140
A fourth Regional Center Commercial was added in 2007 and

01:35:10.140 --> 01:35:11.159
that was the Razor

01:35:11.159 --> 01:35:15.399
Ranch development. So when you include include these these

01:35:15.399 --> 01:35:16.239
areas as well as

01:35:16.239 --> 01:35:20.399
downtown we're looking at at four regional centers and and

01:35:20.399 --> 01:35:21.359
during the

01:35:21.359 --> 01:35:23.560
analysis of the comprehensive plan it was just determined

01:35:23.560 --> 01:35:24.239
that was too many

01:35:24.239 --> 01:35:28.520
for Dent to support. So the end result was they changed

01:35:28.520 --> 01:35:30.640
this area to Business

01:35:30.640 --> 01:35:34.960
Innovation and really what that did was it changed it from

01:35:34.960 --> 01:35:36.600
that that desired

01:35:36.600 --> 01:35:40.199
high-density residential commercial that sort of urban

01:35:40.199 --> 01:35:43.840
center to a an area that

01:35:43.840 --> 01:35:48.010
is intended to promote large-scale employment areas offices

01:35:48.010 --> 01:35:48.960
with also the

01:35:48.960 --> 01:35:55.640
supporting commercial uses as well. So when we look at that

01:35:55.640 --> 01:35:55.800
in look at that in

01:35:55.800 --> 01:36:04.270
context of the zoning districts RCCN it both RCCN which is

01:36:04.270 --> 01:36:05.399
the existing zoning

01:36:05.399 --> 01:36:10.350
and the desired ECC permit a lot of commercial uses.

01:36:10.350 --> 01:36:12.000
However RCCN has a

01:36:12.000 --> 01:36:16.359
high-density residential use whereas ECC doesn't have that

01:36:16.359 --> 01:36:17.640
residential use but it

01:36:17.640 --> 01:36:21.149
has some light industrial so it can go more toward

01:36:21.149 --> 01:36:23.699
employment center. So the

01:36:23.699 --> 01:36:26.289
considerations we looked at first that the site has

01:36:26.289 --> 01:36:27.680
historically been used as a

01:36:27.680 --> 01:36:31.659
truck stop. This area is ideal for this type of use it's on

01:36:31.659 --> 01:36:32.579
the north side of

01:36:32.579 --> 01:36:35.989
the city it's sort of that gateway that travel center and

01:36:35.989 --> 01:36:37.079
it provides that

01:36:37.079 --> 01:36:43.600
access for for the end user. Until the DDC is updated in

01:36:43.600 --> 01:36:44.800
response to Denton

01:36:44.800 --> 01:36:50.119
Plan 2030 the ECC zoning district is is a consistent zoning

01:36:50.119 --> 01:36:51.359
designation with that

01:36:51.359 --> 01:36:55.640
business innovation future land use designation. The

01:36:55.640 --> 01:36:56.920
surrounding uses are

01:36:56.920 --> 01:37:01.069
primary primarily agricultural and commercial and so

01:37:01.069 --> 01:37:02.560
therefore the impacts

01:37:02.560 --> 01:37:08.409
to the adjacent properties are not there or minimal. And

01:37:08.409 --> 01:37:09.760
then when we look at the

01:37:09.760 --> 01:37:13.199
criteria for approval the proposed rezoning conforms to the

01:37:13.199 --> 01:37:13.840
future land use

01:37:13.840 --> 01:37:17.439
element it does that that that ECC does meet the

01:37:17.439 --> 01:37:19.720
requirements and the intent of

01:37:19.720 --> 01:37:22.659
that business innovation future land use designation and

01:37:22.659 --> 01:37:23.600
that the proposed

01:37:23.600 --> 01:37:25.670
rezoning facilitates the adequate provision of

01:37:25.670 --> 01:37:27.039
transportation water sewer

01:37:27.039 --> 01:37:30.000
schools parks and other public requirements and convenience

01:37:30.000 --> 01:37:30.600
. It meets

01:37:30.600 --> 01:37:34.449
that requirement as well. A public notification was sent

01:37:34.449 --> 01:37:36.159
out we have not

01:37:36.159 --> 01:37:42.239
received any letters in opposition or in favor. So based

01:37:42.239 --> 01:37:43.359
upon the considerations

01:37:43.359 --> 01:37:46.960
and the criteria for approval staff recommends approval of

01:37:46.960 --> 01:37:48.079
this rezoning.

01:37:48.079 --> 01:37:52.090
And I believe the applicant is here so if you have any

01:37:52.090 --> 01:37:55.239
questions for staff.

01:37:55.439 --> 01:37:59.279
Commissioner Rossell. Thank you chair. I have some

01:37:59.279 --> 01:38:01.199
significant issues or questions

01:38:01.199 --> 01:38:04.979
rather about the traffic flow that would be generated by

01:38:04.979 --> 01:38:06.239
adding additional truck

01:38:06.239 --> 01:38:09.239
stop looking at aerial maps the truck stop on the east side

01:38:09.239 --> 01:38:10.000
of the interstate

01:38:10.000 --> 01:38:14.619
is is quite full and I know from my own experience that

01:38:14.619 --> 01:38:16.520
underpass at that

01:38:16.520 --> 01:38:20.170
intersection is is already pretty tight and so I'm

01:38:20.170 --> 01:38:22.000
wondering the impact on

01:38:22.000 --> 01:38:26.390
traffic flow by adding another stop there. Well we

01:38:26.390 --> 01:38:28.239
typically address those

01:38:28.239 --> 01:38:32.720
specific traffic impacts during the platting phase so at

01:38:32.720 --> 01:38:34.279
this stage they've

01:38:34.279 --> 01:38:38.560
not done traffic impact and a traffic impact analysis so

01:38:38.560 --> 01:38:39.239
that would be

01:38:39.239 --> 01:38:41.920
addressed at the platting stage. And during the platting

01:38:41.920 --> 01:38:42.920
stage I would

01:38:42.920 --> 01:38:46.520
imagine that the traffic would be measured at Barthold

01:38:46.520 --> 01:38:48.279
streets but I'm

01:38:48.279 --> 01:38:52.310
also curious about the impact of highway 1173 just to the

01:38:52.310 --> 01:38:53.560
south which is the main

01:38:53.560 --> 01:38:57.050
thoroughfare into Crum from the highway. Would the traffic

01:38:57.050 --> 01:38:57.960
study or is it under

01:38:57.960 --> 01:39:00.649
the purview of this Commission to have the traffic study

01:39:00.649 --> 01:39:01.520
also measure the

01:39:01.520 --> 01:39:10.000
impact of that thoroughfare highway 1173. Let me call Earl

01:39:10.000 --> 01:39:11.199
up because he'll

01:39:11.199 --> 01:39:14.800
give me more information on what the analysis is for the

01:39:14.800 --> 01:39:15.600
traffic impact.

01:39:15.600 --> 01:39:22.630
Thank you. Good evening my name is Earl Escobar with

01:39:22.630 --> 01:39:24.760
engineering. As part of the

01:39:24.760 --> 01:39:28.170
development plotting process they're going to be required

01:39:28.170 --> 01:39:28.920
to perform a

01:39:28.920 --> 01:39:32.520
traffic impact analysis and as part of that analysis we'll

01:39:32.520 --> 01:39:33.460
establish the

01:39:33.460 --> 01:39:37.750
parameters of the intersections that they need to evaluate

01:39:37.750 --> 01:39:39.000
and I believe the

01:39:39.000 --> 01:39:43.720
intersection by 35 is already one of them and if PNC is

01:39:43.720 --> 01:39:44.439
concerned is the

01:39:44.439 --> 01:39:49.090
intersection 1173 and 35 I guess it'd be southbound service

01:39:49.090 --> 01:39:50.000
road then we can

01:39:50.000 --> 01:39:54.680
include that as well. Thank you.

01:39:57.520 --> 01:40:07.960
Any other questions for staff? Thank you. This is a public

01:40:07.960 --> 01:40:08.920
hearing is there

01:40:08.920 --> 01:40:10.989
anyone here that would like to speak on this item please

01:40:10.989 --> 01:40:13.800
come down at this time.

Please state your name and address for the record. Good

01:40:16.850 --> 01:40:18.079
evening names Jeremy

Rees with Chippewa Engineering Group 4420 Jackson Street,

01:40:21.329 --> 01:40:22.560
Marianna Florida.

01:40:22.560 --> 01:40:25.420
Basically just here at where the site development engineers

01:40:25.420 --> 01:40:26.199
just basically

01:40:26.199 --> 01:40:28.770
here to answer any questions you guys might have from our

01:40:28.770 --> 01:40:30.479
standpoint and we

01:40:30.479 --> 01:40:33.039
just look forward to working with the city to provide you

01:40:33.039 --> 01:40:33.880
know clean up the

01:40:33.880 --> 01:40:36.300
site kind of provide a respectful development here and

01:40:36.300 --> 01:40:37.159
something we really

01:40:37.159 --> 01:40:40.520
look forward to having so thanks. Great any questions for

01:40:40.520 --> 01:40:41.159
the applicants

01:40:41.159 --> 01:40:43.720
represented?

01:40:47.720 --> 01:40:49.319
Again this is a public hearing is there anyone else that

01:40:49.319 --> 01:40:51.399
would like to speak on

01:40:51.399 --> 01:40:53.800
this item?

01:40:57.760 --> 01:41:01.140
Good evening chairman on the board my name is Michael Oshos

01:41:01.140 --> 01:41:02.760
hoya. For the 981

01:41:02.760 --> 01:41:07.859
battled I belong to the owners of the property that is just

01:41:07.859 --> 01:41:08.840
west of the

01:41:08.840 --> 01:41:14.000
proposed property. The question I have is when it gets to

01:41:14.000 --> 01:41:14.760
the platinum and

01:41:14.760 --> 01:41:20.369
development are there going to be ways to address pollution

01:41:20.369 --> 01:41:21.760
coming from that

01:41:21.760 --> 01:41:26.880
truck stop and noise especially since we bother the

01:41:26.880 --> 01:41:28.119
property to make sure

01:41:28.119 --> 01:41:31.630
whatever development goes on there this truck stop doesn't

01:41:31.630 --> 01:41:32.640
impact the future

01:41:32.640 --> 01:41:36.319
use of that. Thank you.

01:41:38.439 --> 01:41:43.869
I may be able to help with some of that. The city does have

01:41:43.869 --> 01:41:44.279
a noise

01:41:44.279 --> 01:41:49.239
ordinance that at the property line I don't believe that

01:41:49.239 --> 01:41:50.800
the noise can be

01:41:50.800 --> 01:41:55.909
greater than 65 dBA so so that is an ordinance that we have

01:41:55.909 --> 01:41:56.920
at the city and

01:41:56.920 --> 01:42:00.270
then I also believe and someone may correct me that we have

01:42:00.270 --> 01:42:01.920
an anti idling

01:42:01.920 --> 01:42:05.840
ordinance as well or an idling ordinance as well that might

01:42:05.840 --> 01:42:07.000
address some of the

01:42:07.000 --> 01:42:13.359
pollution as well. Thank you Mrs. Wyatt.

01:42:15.039 --> 01:42:19.199
I got my recognized Commissioner Hussbett you have a

01:42:19.199 --> 01:42:21.279
question for. Thank you

01:42:21.279 --> 01:42:29.000
chairperson. Yes I have a question for Mr. is it I'm sorry

01:42:29.000 --> 01:42:31.279
yes sir yes sir

01:42:31.279 --> 01:42:37.840
what I am so I've pulled up your address but how big is

01:42:37.840 --> 01:42:39.720
your property or how many

01:42:39.720 --> 01:42:45.659
acres? I believe is 12.3 I'm not too sure of the number.

01:42:45.659 --> 01:42:48.479
Okay yeah and is

01:42:48.479 --> 01:42:53.279
your understanding looking at the map that you're kind of

01:42:53.279 --> 01:42:55.199
at the back end of

01:42:55.199 --> 01:42:59.720
that yellow? Yeah the west side of that yes yes directly or

01:42:59.720 --> 01:43:00.680
is there property

01:43:00.680 --> 01:43:04.909
our property is just west of the yellow from the top there

01:43:04.909 --> 01:43:06.319
Barthold that's

01:43:06.319 --> 01:43:12.720
strip to where you have the detention pond. Okay thank you.

01:43:12.720 --> 01:43:17.479
Commissioner Tyler. Thank you chair so just to clarify you

01:43:17.479 --> 01:43:18.439
're on the north side

01:43:18.439 --> 01:43:21.359
of Barthold? No south side of Barthold that's west of the

01:43:21.359 --> 01:43:22.560
proposed property. So

01:43:22.560 --> 01:43:25.060
where there's kind of like a parking in the in the aerial

01:43:25.060 --> 01:43:25.920
there it shows that

01:43:25.920 --> 01:43:29.159
kind of parking currently a parking lot area is that

01:43:29.159 --> 01:43:31.000
correct? No it's yeah it's

01:43:31.000 --> 01:43:41.359
parking lot area I showed in the area yeah. Yes yes. Just a

01:43:41.359 --> 01:43:43.520
second. Commissioner

01:43:43.520 --> 01:43:56.949
Detovits I don't have you on the board. There's a good

01:43:56.949 --> 01:43:57.279
there's a wing stop right

01:43:57.279 --> 01:44:09.739
there. Wing stop wing foot. Yeah. I believe it's kind of

01:44:09.739 --> 01:44:12.880
auto show.

01:44:14.079 --> 01:44:16.930
No no we I just belong to the church at home to property I

01:44:16.930 --> 01:44:18.079
do I don't have

01:44:18.079 --> 01:44:28.189
anything to do with that business. Any other questions?

01:44:28.189 --> 01:44:32.439
Thank you sir. This is a

01:44:32.439 --> 01:44:36.130
public hearing is there anyone else who would like to speak

01:44:36.130 --> 01:44:37.479
on this item? Good

01:44:37.479 --> 01:44:41.289
evening my name is Samuel Akin I belongs to the church as

01:44:41.289 --> 01:44:42.720
well the only thing

01:44:42.720 --> 01:44:47.520
that I want to address is the road to Barthold because that

01:44:47.520 --> 01:44:48.680
place is very very

01:44:48.680 --> 01:44:52.880
narrow I don't know whether they have any plan to make that

01:44:52.880 --> 01:44:54.279
place a little bit

01:44:54.279 --> 01:44:58.359
wider for us. Okay we'll see if we can get an answer for

01:44:58.359 --> 01:45:00.600
you.

01:45:12.720 --> 01:45:15.720
[inaudible]

01:45:41.720 --> 01:45:46.229
As part of this development what they're going to do is

01:45:46.229 --> 01:45:48.199
they're going to realign

01:45:48.199 --> 01:45:52.600
Barthold Road to line up with the signalized intersection

01:45:52.600 --> 01:45:55.279
of I-35 and as

01:45:55.279 --> 01:45:59.819
part of that as realignment they're also going to improve

01:45:59.819 --> 01:46:02.119
it to a wider section I

01:46:02.119 --> 01:46:06.060
believe it's going to be a four-lane divided roadway along

01:46:06.060 --> 01:46:08.880
their stretch here.

01:46:10.600 --> 01:46:15.840
Thank you. Commissioner Roselle. I have a question about

01:46:15.840 --> 01:46:17.079
the traffic flow sorry to

01:46:17.079 --> 01:46:22.600
I understand that the applicant would be rerouting Barthold

01:46:22.600 --> 01:46:23.920
to align with Elm

01:46:23.920 --> 01:46:27.430
Street on the east side that timeline would work with

01:46:27.430 --> 01:46:28.560
construction of the

01:46:28.560 --> 01:46:32.029
the travel stop what about on the west side connecting

01:46:32.029 --> 01:46:34.479
highway 1173 to Barthold

01:46:34.479 --> 01:46:37.550
it looks like you're kind of s-shaping that around what's

01:46:37.550 --> 01:46:39.039
the timeline for that

01:46:39.039 --> 01:46:42.550
redirection of that road? That timeline is unknown at this

01:46:42.550 --> 01:46:45.600
point this eventually

01:46:45.600 --> 01:46:50.140
will become 1173 which is a textile roadway and it's not in

01:46:50.140 --> 01:46:51.479
their near future

01:46:51.479 --> 01:46:56.000
radar. Okay thank you.

01:46:57.880 --> 01:47:00.050
Again this is a public hearing is there anyone else who

01:47:00.050 --> 01:47:01.720
would like to speak on

01:47:01.720 --> 01:47:13.420
this item? Please come forward. I think this matter of the

01:47:13.420 --> 01:47:14.720
road is something that

01:47:14.720 --> 01:47:19.550
we need to address right away because right now if anybody

01:47:19.550 --> 01:47:20.680
is trying to go

01:47:20.680 --> 01:47:25.220
through the Barthold it's only one way something. Two

01:47:25.220 --> 01:47:28.359
vehicles cannot come across

01:47:28.359 --> 01:47:33.920
each other at all so we need to address that immediately.

01:47:33.920 --> 01:47:37.279
Okay thank you.

01:47:39.000 --> 01:47:41.060
Again this is a public hearing is there anyone else who'd

01:47:41.060 --> 01:47:42.439
like to speak on this

01:47:42.439 --> 01:47:47.880
item? Seeing none we have one response that was sent in

01:47:47.880 --> 01:47:51.840
from Mr. Joseph Agbo at

01:47:51.840 --> 01:47:57.300
3400 Marymount Drive in Denton. He did not have in favor a

01:47:57.300 --> 01:47:58.560
neutral or opposed

01:47:58.560 --> 01:48:01.100
his request we have a copy we'll have that attached for the

01:48:01.100 --> 01:48:03.000
record. I'm going

01:48:03.000 --> 01:48:07.140
to at this time close the public hearing and I'm going to

01:48:07.140 --> 01:48:08.000
recognize

01:48:08.000 --> 01:48:12.199
Commissioner Hutsboth. Before you do. Okay excuse me I will

01:48:12.199 --> 01:48:13.239
reopen the public

01:48:13.239 --> 01:48:16.710
hearing from this item. Thank you. I just the applicant

01:48:16.710 --> 01:48:19.399
representative can you

01:48:19.720 --> 01:48:23.229
staff has already given an overview but could you kind of

01:48:23.229 --> 01:48:24.439
summarize what your

01:48:24.439 --> 01:48:28.619
vision or your your clients vision for that property is

01:48:28.619 --> 01:48:30.000
just for clarity?

01:48:30.000 --> 01:48:34.159
Well basically a normal love site will have the regular

01:48:34.159 --> 01:48:35.239
travel center which

01:48:35.239 --> 01:48:38.270
will include two to three restaurants. In this case we're

01:48:38.270 --> 01:48:39.359
not really sure what

01:48:39.359 --> 01:48:42.079
the restaurants will be at this point. We're looking at

01:48:42.079 --> 01:48:43.039
probably one drive

01:48:43.039 --> 01:48:46.189
through and maybe a couple of smaller sit downs and there

01:48:46.189 --> 01:48:47.960
'll be an auto fueling

01:48:47.960 --> 01:48:50.840
area and then in the back of that completely separate from

01:48:50.840 --> 01:48:51.520
the auto area

01:48:51.520 --> 01:48:53.819
will be the truck area and then they'll have the diesel b

01:48:53.819 --> 01:48:54.800
ays back there and then

01:48:54.800 --> 01:48:57.869
toward the rear of the property will be a tire building and

01:48:57.869 --> 01:48:58.840
that was the reason

01:48:58.840 --> 01:49:01.649
for the rezoning so we could have just the tire maintenance

01:49:01.649 --> 01:49:02.600
and fluid changes

01:49:02.600 --> 01:49:05.890
that sort of thing just some some light maintenance work

01:49:05.890 --> 01:49:07.119
but loves is a family

01:49:07.119 --> 01:49:09.520
owned company they you know take pride in everything they

01:49:09.520 --> 01:49:10.039
do all their

01:49:10.039 --> 01:49:12.270
developments so you know they put their name one they're

01:49:12.270 --> 01:49:13.159
gonna make sure it's

01:49:13.159 --> 01:49:18.680
gonna be you know up to code up to standard so. Thank you.

01:49:20.840 --> 01:49:24.239
Commissioner Taylor.

01:49:29.840 --> 01:49:35.920
I was wondering if staff could address or to speak to what

01:49:35.920 --> 01:49:37.960
kind of barriers

01:49:37.960 --> 01:49:42.000
would be in place or what kind of buffering would would

01:49:42.000 --> 01:49:43.279
occur if we have a

01:49:43.279 --> 01:49:46.930
church or kind of a residential use next to a commercial

01:49:46.930 --> 01:49:49.000
use. Sure we have

01:49:49.000 --> 01:49:52.289
buffer requirements between the different uses. Let me go

01:49:52.289 --> 01:49:53.079
get my code so I

01:49:53.079 --> 01:49:55.479
make sure I.

01:50:07.960 --> 01:50:16.600
So a church would be an institutional use and then you have

01:50:16.600 --> 01:50:17.319
a commercial use

01:50:17.319 --> 01:50:24.449
adjacent. It doesn't look like the code requires buffers

01:50:24.449 --> 01:50:25.760
between institutional

01:50:25.760 --> 01:50:30.600
uses and commercial uses. If it was an industrial use then

01:50:30.600 --> 01:50:32.079
it would require a

01:50:32.079 --> 01:50:36.880
type B buffer but as it is right now there aren't any buff

01:50:36.880 --> 01:50:38.600
ers required. And so

01:50:38.600 --> 01:50:41.239
would this quote so the tire shop does not make it

01:50:41.239 --> 01:50:44.880
industrial? Is that it?

01:50:44.880 --> 01:50:50.760
Vehicle repair I believe. Let me verify.

01:50:53.319 --> 01:50:57.939
Vehicle repair is under our commercial land use categories

01:50:57.939 --> 01:50:59.439
so it's considered

01:50:59.439 --> 01:51:04.720
commercial. Thank you. Commissioner Beck. Thank you chair.

01:51:04.720 --> 01:51:08.960
Got a question for the

01:51:10.319 --> 01:51:12.420
and I think I know the answer is but I'm gonna ask it

01:51:12.420 --> 01:51:14.680
anyway. Is this a 24/7

01:51:14.680 --> 01:51:18.760
operation this business? I believe it is yes. So there's

01:51:18.760 --> 01:51:19.800
something going on day

01:51:19.800 --> 01:51:24.899
and night. Right. Okay thank you. Commissioner Briggle.

01:51:24.899 --> 01:51:26.399
Miss Wyatt can you bring your code

01:51:26.399 --> 01:51:30.520
back up here please. Sorry I just didn't get to ring in

01:51:30.520 --> 01:51:31.279
fast enough after

01:51:31.279 --> 01:51:33.699
Commissioner Taylor's question because I had asked also

01:51:33.699 --> 01:51:34.399
about the buffers

01:51:34.399 --> 01:51:37.869
during the work session. So there's not currently a church

01:51:37.869 --> 01:51:39.079
on that property to

01:51:39.079 --> 01:51:45.340
the west. So what what buffer would be required for what

01:51:45.340 --> 01:51:46.520
the current property

01:51:46.520 --> 01:51:49.779
is? No buffers. There's no buffers. No ma'am. Okay and then

01:51:49.779 --> 01:51:50.960
on the south side where

01:51:50.960 --> 01:51:53.600
there's that residence just to clarify that would be. Now

01:51:53.600 --> 01:51:54.520
if it was against a

01:51:54.520 --> 01:52:01.000
residence. I don't want to misspeak.

01:52:05.279 --> 01:52:07.779
Commercial against single-family residential is a type C

01:52:07.779 --> 01:52:09.640
buffer which is

01:52:09.640 --> 01:52:12.920
a 15 foot planted strip that includes a combination of six

01:52:12.920 --> 01:52:13.760
evergreen and

01:52:13.760 --> 01:52:17.609
deciduous trees and 25 shrubs per 100 linear feet. And that

01:52:17.609 --> 01:52:18.680
's 15 feet along

01:52:18.680 --> 01:52:22.829
the whole perimeter. Yes ma'am. Okay when the church is

01:52:22.829 --> 01:52:24.960
established to the west at

01:52:24.960 --> 01:52:28.760
some point would that the if the church wanted a buffer at

01:52:28.760 --> 01:52:29.479
that point they would

01:52:29.479 --> 01:52:37.239
be responsible for that. Okay thank you. I see nothing else

01:52:37.239 --> 01:52:37.960
on the board but I'm

01:52:37.960 --> 01:52:41.920
ask again are there any other questions?

01:52:43.880 --> 01:52:47.180
Seeing none. All done we're going to close the public

01:52:47.180 --> 01:52:48.920
hearing on this particular

01:52:48.920 --> 01:52:53.920
item and the chair would entertain a motion.

01:52:55.680 --> 01:53:00.600
Commissioner Dudowitz. I approve or motion only make a

01:53:00.600 --> 01:53:01.520
motion to approve it.

01:53:01.520 --> 01:53:06.720
Thank you. Commissioner Hudspeth. I second. Okay have a

01:53:06.720 --> 01:53:08.119
first and a second. Is there

01:53:08.119 --> 01:53:13.859
any further discussion on this item? Seeing none we'll call

01:53:13.859 --> 01:53:15.119
for a vote on the

01:53:15.119 --> 01:53:17.279
board.

01:53:23.960 --> 01:53:32.199
The motion carries 7-0. Move us to item 5E. I'm going to

01:53:32.199 --> 01:53:33.079
open the public

01:53:33.079 --> 01:53:39.279
hearing for Z15-0024. Thank you. I'm going to request Ross

01:53:39.279 --> 01:53:43.119
Culbertson to come ahead and make this presentation.

01:53:52.079 --> 01:53:58.300
Commissioners this is a zoning request Z1524 for Pecan Park

01:53:58.300 --> 01:54:00.680
addition. Before I

01:54:00.680 --> 01:54:03.149
raise the consideration to make a recommendation to City

01:54:03.149 --> 01:54:03.560
Council

01:54:03.560 --> 01:54:07.380
regarding a rezoning request from a neighborhood

01:54:07.380 --> 01:54:09.079
residential mixed use

01:54:09.079 --> 01:54:13.600
district in RMU to a neighborhood residential 4 district on

01:54:13.600 --> 01:54:14.319
approximately

01:54:14.319 --> 01:54:21.010
20 acres. Property before he is generally located on the

01:54:21.010 --> 01:54:22.000
south side of

01:54:22.000 --> 01:54:26.520
East Bikini Street approximately 2,000 feet east of Orr

01:54:26.520 --> 01:54:28.399
Road which is a north

01:54:28.399 --> 01:54:35.619
south road over here to the west. This slide provides a

01:54:35.619 --> 01:54:37.840
little more context for

01:54:37.840 --> 01:54:40.600
you. The zoning request encompasses 20 acres of an

01:54:40.600 --> 01:54:42.159
approximate 80 acre tract

01:54:42.159 --> 01:54:45.329
which the applicant intends to develop as a single-family

01:54:45.329 --> 01:54:47.239
subdivision. As you

01:54:47.239 --> 01:54:50.479
can see I've tried to delineate the 20 acres and the

01:54:50.479 --> 01:54:51.800
holistic nature of the

01:54:51.800 --> 01:54:56.170
property. This slide also provides a visual of the natural

01:54:56.170 --> 01:54:57.479
context and the

01:54:57.479 --> 01:55:02.920
vicinity of uses. This is a rural part of Denton to the

01:55:02.920 --> 01:55:06.560
east off of loop 288 and

01:55:06.560 --> 01:55:12.039
south south of McKinney Street. As you can see there's some

01:55:12.039 --> 01:55:13.600
very nice natural

01:55:13.600 --> 01:55:18.689
areas to be considered with future development particularly

01:55:18.689 --> 01:55:19.920
there's a area

01:55:19.920 --> 01:55:26.340
of tree stands in the middle there's property the 80 acres

01:55:26.340 --> 01:55:28.000
bounds to the south

01:55:28.000 --> 01:55:32.239
with Concrete which has some floodplain areas just in

01:55:32.239 --> 01:55:35.000
between that area. Right

01:55:35.000 --> 01:55:38.220
now we are just looking at the zoning for this portion only

01:55:38.220 --> 01:55:40.359
at this moment.

01:55:40.359 --> 01:55:44.760
Looking at the zoning maps side by side the intended

01:55:44.760 --> 01:55:47.399
request is to remove the

01:55:47.399 --> 01:55:52.779
red area shown as NRMU which is that 20 acres and rezoned

01:55:52.779 --> 01:55:54.159
it to NR4 and you

01:55:54.159 --> 01:55:57.090
can see the comparisons that the intent is to create a

01:55:57.090 --> 01:55:59.239
holistic rezoned property

01:55:59.239 --> 01:56:05.520
to NR4 for future development. I also want to point out the

01:56:05.520 --> 01:56:07.680
compatible area to

01:56:07.680 --> 01:56:12.960
the west property that is zoned NR4 that also has adjac

01:56:12.960 --> 01:56:13.680
encies to this

01:56:13.680 --> 01:56:17.989
property. When we look at the NRMU category and you can see

01:56:17.989 --> 01:56:18.800
the delineation

01:56:18.800 --> 01:56:26.720
on the on the screen per the 20 2002 citywide rezoning this

01:56:26.720 --> 01:56:27.840
area was rezoned

01:56:27.840 --> 01:56:33.680
to encourage uses but since that time uses have not

01:56:33.680 --> 01:56:34.920
developed to that

01:56:34.920 --> 01:56:38.430
intensity and this is a very kind of high intense zoning

01:56:38.430 --> 01:56:39.880
district that

01:56:39.880 --> 01:56:43.390
encourages high-density residential creates active nodes of

01:56:43.390 --> 01:56:44.079
neighborhood

01:56:44.079 --> 01:56:48.569
retail and office uses to support those neighborhoods and

01:56:48.569 --> 01:56:49.479
allows for

01:56:49.479 --> 01:56:54.229
multifamily with 30 units per acre and it does prohibit

01:56:54.229 --> 01:56:57.359
single-family. So in

01:56:57.359 --> 01:57:00.000
your considerations we look at the future land use map the

01:57:00.000 --> 01:57:00.840
future land use

01:57:00.840 --> 01:57:05.680
map guides through the didn't plan 2030 map of the intended

01:57:05.680 --> 01:57:07.199
growth patterns the

01:57:07.199 --> 01:57:10.439
future land use map indicates this area as rural area

01:57:10.439 --> 01:57:12.560
indicated in green the

01:57:12.560 --> 01:57:17.109
current NRMU district does not fit with the character of

01:57:17.109 --> 01:57:19.000
this low intensity low

01:57:19.000 --> 01:57:24.500
density rural context and to be honest the NR4 does not fit

01:57:24.500 --> 01:57:25.760
with respect to the

01:57:25.760 --> 01:57:30.350
low density rural character rural context. Staff is making

01:57:30.350 --> 01:57:32.000
a effort to to

01:57:32.000 --> 01:57:36.279
show that we support how the transition of these densities

01:57:36.279 --> 01:57:37.760
can be applied with

01:57:37.760 --> 01:57:42.859
the NR2 NR4 zoning. However the inner four is more

01:57:42.859 --> 01:57:44.119
compatible with the future

01:57:44.119 --> 01:57:47.630
land use map and more suited as a catalyst to spur future

01:57:47.630 --> 01:57:48.680
development and

01:57:48.680 --> 01:57:54.630
we look at that in how the land use patterns and the the

01:57:54.630 --> 01:57:56.680
blobs of yellow and

01:57:56.680 --> 01:58:02.699
orange may be able to accommodate residential zoning in

01:58:02.699 --> 01:58:05.159
this area. The

01:58:05.159 --> 01:58:08.020
applicant has submitted a concept plan just as a graphic

01:58:08.020 --> 01:58:09.220
illustration this has

01:58:09.220 --> 01:58:13.159
not been vetted as if you have with any plant activity but

01:58:13.159 --> 01:58:16.119
yet it shows NR4

01:58:16.119 --> 01:58:20.439
zoning applying lots to NR4 zoning which represents a

01:58:20.439 --> 01:58:22.520
medium density. The

01:58:22.520 --> 01:58:27.229
concept plan speaks to a conservation development.

01:58:27.229 --> 01:58:28.359
Conservation development is

01:58:28.359 --> 01:58:33.760
a type of programming design within the DEN plan concept

01:58:33.760 --> 01:58:35.560
comprehensive plan to

01:58:35.560 --> 01:58:40.590
protect natural features and respond to a staged transition

01:58:40.590 --> 01:58:42.079
of growth between

01:58:42.079 --> 01:58:47.289
developed areas and rural areas. The applicant provided

01:58:47.289 --> 01:58:48.800
this as the intent of

01:58:48.800 --> 01:58:51.600
the development that they would be seeking with future

01:58:51.600 --> 01:58:52.520
plats this is not

01:58:52.520 --> 01:58:56.689
holding them to anything but they are introducing a concept

01:58:56.689 --> 01:58:57.920
of conservation

01:58:57.920 --> 01:59:02.739
development mainly to to work with natural site features

01:59:02.739 --> 01:59:04.000
and to develop

01:59:04.000 --> 01:59:08.470
according to those constraints. In the considerations

01:59:08.470 --> 01:59:10.520
within your report I want

01:59:10.520 --> 01:59:14.970
to point out the NR4 zoning is a more compared a more

01:59:14.970 --> 01:59:16.199
appropriate district to

01:59:16.199 --> 01:59:19.960
encourage low to moderate single-family units and to unify

01:59:19.960 --> 01:59:20.680
the entire

01:59:20.680 --> 01:59:25.130
property interests. The land use pattern in this area has

01:59:25.130 --> 01:59:26.760
remained rural and has

01:59:26.760 --> 01:59:32.699
not necessitated uses permitted by NRMU zoning and the

01:59:32.699 --> 01:59:35.180
conservation development design is a good response to the

01:59:35.180 --> 01:59:36.520
transitioning for

01:59:36.520 --> 01:59:42.060
introducing single-family into this rural context area. For

01:59:42.060 --> 01:59:43.439
you have in your

01:59:43.439 --> 01:59:46.949
staff report you have evaluation criteria stated in sub

01:59:46.949 --> 01:59:49.039
chapter 35 3 3 b 3

01:59:49.039 --> 01:59:53.699
of the DEN development code which lists items a through g I

01:59:53.699 --> 01:59:56.199
believe which speak

01:59:56.199 --> 01:59:59.180
to items that do not actually conform to the future land

01:59:59.180 --> 02:00:00.159
use map but may be

02:00:00.159 --> 02:00:04.090
considered under analysis and that analysis from staff

02:00:04.090 --> 02:00:05.319
shows that we've

02:00:05.319 --> 02:00:08.260
looked at the land use pattern that the density of the

02:00:08.260 --> 02:00:09.680
development to support

02:00:09.680 --> 02:00:14.020
the extension of city services would be warranted and we

02:00:14.020 --> 02:00:15.920
are not creating with

02:00:15.920 --> 02:00:20.630
this rezoning any isolated districts. Additional criteria

02:00:20.630 --> 02:00:22.840
for review is found

02:00:22.840 --> 02:00:28.859
within DEN development code 35 3 4 b 2 which again speaks

02:00:28.859 --> 02:00:30.279
to conformance to a

02:00:30.279 --> 02:00:33.979
land use element and facilitates provision of city services

02:00:33.979 --> 02:00:34.680
with future

02:00:34.680 --> 02:00:39.970
development. We did do a public notice outreach and we

02:00:39.970 --> 02:00:43.439
received one notice in

02:00:43.439 --> 02:00:47.149
favor and that's included in your packet and shown on the

02:00:47.149 --> 02:00:48.960
screen. Based on the

02:00:48.960 --> 02:00:51.600
considerations presented and the requirements within the D

02:00:51.600 --> 02:00:52.239
EN development

02:00:52.239 --> 02:00:55.510
code staff recommends approval of this item and I may stand

02:00:55.510 --> 02:00:56.319
for any questions

02:00:56.319 --> 02:01:03.760
you have. Commissioner Roselle. Thank you for the

02:01:03.760 --> 02:01:03.920
presentation. Thank you for the

02:01:03.920 --> 02:01:07.039
presentation. I have a question about the future land use.

02:01:07.039 --> 02:01:08.840
Can you help articulate

02:01:08.840 --> 02:01:12.840
what the expectation of rural future land use is?

02:01:12.840 --> 02:01:14.800
Specifically does it

02:01:14.800 --> 02:01:18.880
necessarily include in our for zoning within the future

02:01:18.880 --> 02:01:20.439
land use of rural? I

02:01:20.439 --> 02:01:25.199
have to say no to that. There is no rural is designed for

02:01:25.199 --> 02:01:27.600
large lots. We have

02:01:27.600 --> 02:01:36.789
zoning categories in our RD5, RD, rural residential zoning

02:01:36.789 --> 02:01:37.359
districts that

02:01:37.359 --> 02:01:40.609
are more appropriate within that. The presentation

02:01:40.609 --> 02:01:44.119
indicates this development

02:01:44.119 --> 02:01:48.010
is under low to medium and more on the medium side but

02:01:48.010 --> 02:01:49.479
based on how they are

02:01:49.479 --> 02:01:52.829
applying the conservation and working with constraints of

02:01:52.829 --> 02:01:54.119
the property we can

02:01:54.119 --> 02:01:58.199
consider the densities they are approving but rural context

02:01:58.199 --> 02:01:58.720
is to maintain

02:01:58.720 --> 02:02:02.270
large lots under a rural character. So the expectation of

02:02:02.270 --> 02:02:03.760
the DEN 2030 plan was

02:02:03.760 --> 02:02:09.399
to have large lots in this property in this zoning? Correct

02:02:09.399 --> 02:02:12.319
. Any additional

02:02:12.319 --> 02:02:19.909
questions for staff? Thank you. This is a public hearing.

02:02:19.909 --> 02:02:21.760
Anyone that would like to

02:02:21.760 --> 02:02:27.109
come speak on this item please come forth this time. Mr.

02:02:27.109 --> 02:02:28.439
Chairman and

02:02:28.439 --> 02:02:31.949
Commissioners my name is Rod Zilke with ZPS Consulting

02:02:31.949 --> 02:02:33.399
Engineers. I'm here

02:02:33.399 --> 02:02:37.369
representing the project tonight if you have any questions.

02:02:37.369 --> 02:02:38.439
Any questions?

02:02:38.439 --> 02:02:43.029
Commissioner Bruegel we do have a question. Mr. Zilke.

02:02:43.029 --> 02:02:49.039
Sorry. I'm not sure if you were in the

02:02:49.039 --> 02:02:53.189
in the work session or not. I'm sorry. I'm proud to be to

02:02:53.189 --> 02:02:54.079
my back. So I just

02:02:54.079 --> 02:02:55.890
wonder if you could speak a bit more about this

02:02:55.890 --> 02:02:57.119
conservation development

02:02:57.119 --> 02:02:59.710
plan. It's the first time that we've seen it as a

02:02:59.710 --> 02:03:01.079
commission in the eight

02:03:01.079 --> 02:03:04.720
months since we've adopted the 2030 plan, the comprehensive

02:03:04.720 --> 02:03:05.659
plan for the city in

02:03:05.659 --> 02:03:09.670
which the conservation development is a vision that we have

02:03:09.670 --> 02:03:10.800
for our city. Now

02:03:10.800 --> 02:03:14.270
you're the first developer to bring this to us and I didn't

02:03:14.270 --> 02:03:15.800
get to see your

02:03:15.800 --> 02:03:18.359
your mock-up in our backup so it's really the first time I

02:03:18.359 --> 02:03:19.119
'm seeing it but

02:03:19.119 --> 02:03:22.720
it does excite me as a you know this is something that we

02:03:22.720 --> 02:03:24.760
approved as a city and

02:03:24.760 --> 02:03:27.590
it's good to see this. I just kind of want to hear about

02:03:27.590 --> 02:03:28.359
what was your what

02:03:28.359 --> 02:03:31.479
you're not required to do this conservation development and

02:03:31.479 --> 02:03:31.939
yet you're

02:03:31.939 --> 02:03:33.819
bringing it forward anyway. I just wonder if you could

02:03:33.819 --> 02:03:34.600
speak to that a bit and

02:03:34.600 --> 02:03:37.130
kind of what your experience was working with staff and why

02:03:37.130 --> 02:03:37.960
does you'd like to

02:03:37.960 --> 02:03:43.939
bring that piece to us now. Sure and keep in mind we're

02:03:43.939 --> 02:03:45.680
very preliminary stages

02:03:45.680 --> 02:03:49.029
this is just the zoning of the north portion and before we

02:03:49.029 --> 02:03:50.119
get into too much

02:03:50.119 --> 02:03:52.199
detail we want to be sure we have the whole piece of

02:03:52.199 --> 02:03:53.359
property to work with of

02:03:53.359 --> 02:03:58.460
course. The property obviously from the aerial photos has

02:03:58.460 --> 02:03:59.840
some significant trees

02:03:59.840 --> 02:04:03.649
and some natural features and some floodplain so it's

02:04:03.649 --> 02:04:06.279
conducive to a

02:04:06.279 --> 02:04:10.539
conservation type project and that in combination with the

02:04:10.539 --> 02:04:11.960
tree ordinance and

02:04:11.960 --> 02:04:16.779
the clustering of lots you know you can with the way ordin

02:04:16.779 --> 02:04:18.479
ances are now the tree

02:04:18.479 --> 02:04:22.079
ordinance and the conservation plan you can cluster smaller

02:04:22.079 --> 02:04:22.920
lots and preserve

02:04:22.920 --> 02:04:27.369
larger areas and this property just it's conducive to that

02:04:27.369 --> 02:04:29.359
I mean we have a nice

02:04:29.359 --> 02:04:34.109
contiguous tree area in the center of the property that has

02:04:34.109 --> 02:04:34.600
some some you know

02:04:34.600 --> 02:04:39.739
preservation type trees and that quite honestly we're kind

02:04:39.739 --> 02:04:40.960
of doing that on a

02:04:40.960 --> 02:04:44.729
couple of projects on you know a little further south and

02:04:44.729 --> 02:04:46.800
the passive tree area

02:04:46.800 --> 02:04:51.500
park seems to be popular right now with you know with home

02:04:51.500 --> 02:04:53.199
buyers as opposed to

02:04:53.199 --> 02:04:57.479
more active parks and you know lots of activity that less

02:04:57.479 --> 02:04:58.279
less activity is

02:04:58.279 --> 02:05:01.899
appealing I guess. I don't know if that answers your

02:05:01.899 --> 02:05:02.800
question. No it's very helpful.

02:05:02.800 --> 02:05:04.939
Yeah thank you. That's kind of where we're at on it. Yeah

02:05:04.939 --> 02:05:07.800
that's good thank you. Hold on just a second.

02:05:07.800 --> 02:05:12.250
Commissioner Beck. Thank you chair. I'm sorry your first

02:05:12.250 --> 02:05:15.000
name was Rod. So this is

02:05:15.000 --> 02:05:18.159
this 20 acre development is going to be for single-family

02:05:18.159 --> 02:05:21.880
homes? It's 80 acres.

02:05:21.880 --> 02:05:28.359
The 20 is part of a larger tract. Okay. So we're working on

02:05:28.359 --> 02:05:29.880
the total 80 acres

02:05:29.880 --> 02:05:33.119
but before we could get too far into that we had to

02:05:33.119 --> 02:05:35.640
determine whether the NRMU

02:05:35.640 --> 02:05:46.819
portion could be. We need to focus our attention just on

02:05:46.819 --> 02:05:48.439
these two slides here

02:05:48.439 --> 02:05:55.600
showing the red is the zoning that we were under and they

02:05:55.600 --> 02:05:56.600
haven't designed any

02:05:56.600 --> 02:06:01.880
plans for phases phase one of this yet but we they need to

02:06:01.880 --> 02:06:02.880
look at it

02:06:02.880 --> 02:06:08.539
collectively to make their plan. So but I guess my question

02:06:08.539 --> 02:06:09.880
is the plan to build

02:06:09.880 --> 02:06:16.489
single-family homes on the 88. The plan is to build single-

02:06:16.489 --> 02:06:17.920
family homes on these

02:06:17.920 --> 02:06:23.960
80 acres is that correct? Okay what percentage of these do

02:06:23.960 --> 02:06:24.560
you plan on

02:06:24.560 --> 02:06:28.210
building low-income housing for low-income families? Is

02:06:28.210 --> 02:06:29.800
there a percentage?

02:06:29.800 --> 02:06:43.119
Yes. Yes. Well right okay.

02:06:44.119 --> 02:06:47.399
Okay affordable housing is what I'm talking about for low-

02:06:47.399 --> 02:06:48.359
income families.

02:06:48.359 --> 02:06:53.260
There's a percentage or should I direct this at staff? Is

02:06:53.260 --> 02:06:54.720
this? I think maybe legal

02:06:54.720 --> 02:07:00.119
would want to weigh in on this. Yeah well we can discuss it

02:07:00.119 --> 02:07:02.359
off record as far as

02:07:02.359 --> 02:07:08.199
those requirements are concerned. I'm sorry was there an

02:07:08.199 --> 02:07:10.199
answer in there? I

02:07:10.199 --> 02:07:14.800
didn't. No. We'll have to discuss it with you off record.

02:07:14.800 --> 02:07:18.039
Okay gotcha. All right. Thank you Ron.

02:07:18.039 --> 02:07:22.319
Any other questions for the applicant?

02:07:23.079 --> 02:07:26.100
Seeing none again this is a public hearing is there anyone

02:07:26.100 --> 02:07:26.880
else that would

02:07:26.880 --> 02:07:32.960
like to come down and speak on this item? Please state your

02:07:32.960 --> 02:07:34.439
name and address and

02:07:34.439 --> 02:07:37.890
we'll need a yellow card. Good evening. I'm Jeff Hargrave

02:07:37.890 --> 02:07:38.600
vice president of

02:07:38.600 --> 02:07:42.510
pipeline operations for Atmos Energy and I just wanted to

02:07:42.510 --> 02:07:43.720
bring the applicant to

02:07:43.720 --> 02:07:46.890
the applicants attention that we do operate a high-pressure

02:07:46.890 --> 02:07:47.680
natural gas

02:07:47.680 --> 02:07:51.569
pipeline that traverses across this entire 80 acre track

02:07:51.569 --> 02:07:53.479
about 2,000 feet and

02:07:53.479 --> 02:07:58.100
that to the west of this development less than 150 feet

02:07:58.100 --> 02:08:00.439
there'll be a gas well

02:08:00.439 --> 02:08:04.930
there and a gas storage facility that's located 800 feet it

02:08:04.930 --> 02:08:06.479
's the industrial

02:08:06.479 --> 02:08:10.600
side colored there in blue we don't make opposition to the

02:08:10.600 --> 02:08:11.600
project we just wanted

02:08:11.600 --> 02:08:15.399
to be sure that staff the applicant are anxious to work we

02:08:15.399 --> 02:08:15.880
see that you

02:08:15.880 --> 02:08:18.710
preserved a green belt for that pipeline for high-pressure

02:08:18.710 --> 02:08:19.760
pipelines it was a very

02:08:19.760 --> 02:08:23.270
serious pipeline incident in Collin County today disrupted

02:08:23.270 --> 02:08:24.520
activities and we

02:08:24.520 --> 02:08:27.680
just want to be sure that staff is aware of that thank you

02:08:27.680 --> 02:08:28.640
so much

02:08:28.640 --> 02:08:31.720
excuse me sir just a second we have a question

02:08:31.720 --> 02:08:35.430
Commissioner Taylor. Thank you Chair. So you mentioned that

02:08:35.430 --> 02:08:36.600
you have a gas well

02:08:36.600 --> 02:08:38.800
on that site could you describe the nature of that gas well

02:08:38.800 --> 02:08:40.300
? Yes it's a

02:08:40.300 --> 02:08:43.920
natural gas storage well oh thank you can you can we point

02:08:43.920 --> 02:08:44.760
here if I do this

02:08:44.760 --> 02:08:49.310
kind of okay there is our there's our gas well right there

02:08:49.310 --> 02:08:51.520
can you I'm trying

02:08:51.520 --> 02:08:56.439
to move this guys I'm not real skilled at things. Hand-eye

02:08:56.439 --> 02:08:57.960
coordination it's a

02:08:57.960 --> 02:09:00.909
natural gas storage facility we've been in operation almost

02:09:00.909 --> 02:09:02.399
50 years it serves

02:09:02.399 --> 02:09:06.000
the critical energy needs in North Texas it's a depleted

02:09:06.000 --> 02:09:07.520
reservoir there is no

02:09:07.520 --> 02:09:11.119
while there is gas drilling out there there is no fracking

02:09:11.119 --> 02:09:11.960
this reservoir

02:09:11.960 --> 02:09:15.130
does not require fracking it's very porous as it is and

02:09:15.130 --> 02:09:16.640
then if you'd like

02:09:16.640 --> 02:09:20.329
to know where the pipeline is let's see if I can pull this

02:09:20.329 --> 02:09:22.079
off one more time it

02:09:22.079 --> 02:09:24.829
originates up in this station I think you can see the right

02:09:24.829 --> 02:09:25.720
away is fairly

02:09:25.720 --> 02:09:29.670
well clear as it traverses it crosses about 2,000 feet

02:09:29.670 --> 02:09:32.119
across there and it's a

02:09:32.119 --> 02:09:36.739
high-pressure large diameter 16-inch pipeline sure. How

02:09:36.739 --> 02:09:38.159
deep is that? Commissioner

02:09:38.159 --> 02:09:44.239
Dedowitz. How deep? It's typically about 36 to 48 inches

02:09:44.239 --> 02:09:45.640
deep could be deeper in

02:09:45.640 --> 02:09:48.319
some locations there if the elevation hasn't been changed.

02:09:48.319 --> 02:09:50.079
So 2 to 4 feet?

02:09:50.079 --> 02:09:56.640
Approximately yes. Commissioner Bruegel. Thank you chair

02:09:56.640 --> 02:09:57.560
and thank you for

02:09:57.560 --> 02:10:00.079
bringing that up I just wanted to be clear though from

02:10:00.079 --> 02:10:01.399
staff and from legal

02:10:01.399 --> 02:10:04.890
what we're looking at today is the simple rezoning request

02:10:04.890 --> 02:10:05.760
and not we're

02:10:05.760 --> 02:10:09.380
we're looking to approve or deny this rezoning request and

02:10:09.380 --> 02:10:10.680
not necessarily any

02:10:10.680 --> 02:10:14.289
specific development at this point so though that that mock

02:10:14.289 --> 02:10:14.920
-up of the

02:10:14.920 --> 02:10:18.520
conservation development is beautiful and appealing we're

02:10:18.520 --> 02:10:19.640
not looking at that

02:10:19.640 --> 02:10:22.630
as a commission we're looking at at the rezoning request am

02:10:22.630 --> 02:10:23.600
I correct in that?

02:10:23.600 --> 02:10:28.319
Right. Our charter is to evaluate I'm talking about the

02:10:28.319 --> 02:10:29.880
planning department the

02:10:29.880 --> 02:10:33.390
compatibility of an NR4 zoning district with the

02:10:33.390 --> 02:10:35.159
surrounding property as it

02:10:35.159 --> 02:10:38.239
relates to those 20 acres and the compatibility with. Thank

02:10:38.239 --> 02:10:39.119
you. Not the land

02:10:39.119 --> 02:10:42.279
use not the conceptual plan but just that zoning district

02:10:42.279 --> 02:10:43.079
and the use is

02:10:43.079 --> 02:10:45.720
permitted within that category. Thank you and so and this

02:10:45.720 --> 02:10:46.439
is all very helpful

02:10:46.439 --> 02:10:49.439
information that we will take into consideration I guess at

02:10:49.439 --> 02:10:50.159
a future point.

02:10:50.159 --> 02:10:57.310
I'll be back at planning. Thank you. Other questions? Thank

02:10:57.310 --> 02:11:01.199
you. Thank you so much. Thank you sir.

02:11:01.199 --> 02:11:04.100
Again this is a public hearing is there anyone else who

02:11:04.100 --> 02:11:05.319
would like to speak on

02:11:05.319 --> 02:11:07.760
this item?

02:11:12.760 --> 02:11:16.500
Seeing none I will close the public hearing. Chair would

02:11:16.500 --> 02:11:19.239
entertain a motion.

02:11:19.239 --> 02:11:26.729
Commissioner Beck. Thank you chair I move we approve Z15-00

02:11:26.729 --> 02:11:30.159
24. Commissioner

02:11:30.159 --> 02:11:35.039
Dutton. I second the motion. First and a second.

02:11:35.039 --> 02:11:38.359
Commissioner Rossell. Thank you

02:11:38.359 --> 02:11:41.430
chair I just wanted to go on record and state that I think

02:11:41.430 --> 02:11:42.359
the rezoning is

02:11:42.359 --> 02:11:44.869
compatible with the surrounding areas however I am

02:11:44.869 --> 02:11:46.359
concerned about the future

02:11:46.359 --> 02:11:50.699
future land use if if there was a an approved plan that

02:11:50.699 --> 02:11:51.760
going forward that

02:11:51.760 --> 02:11:56.210
is to be rural then we need to take seriously what that was

02:11:56.210 --> 02:11:56.960
supposed to be

02:11:56.960 --> 02:11:59.920
for and what the expectation of that land actually is.

02:11:59.920 --> 02:12:01.399
Again the zoning issue I

02:12:01.399 --> 02:12:05.279
think to align with the other properties is an alignment

02:12:05.279 --> 02:12:07.479
however I just have some

02:12:07.479 --> 02:12:10.949
concerns about going against the specific future land use

02:12:10.949 --> 02:12:11.720
that's been

02:12:11.720 --> 02:12:17.319
approved by the city so I just want to go on record. You

02:12:17.319 --> 02:12:19.199
can have a first and a

02:12:19.199 --> 02:12:23.609
second is there any additional discussion or comment on

02:12:23.609 --> 02:12:24.039
this?

02:12:27.960 --> 02:12:34.220
Seeing none on the board I will call for a vote on the

02:12:34.220 --> 02:12:39.880
board please. The motion

02:12:39.880 --> 02:12:47.479
carries 7-0. That moves us to our final item on the agenda

02:12:47.479 --> 02:12:50.000
tonight concluding

02:12:50.000 --> 02:12:59.119
items. Commissioner Bribble. Actually I'm okay thank you.

02:12:59.119 --> 02:13:02.279
So going back to our

02:13:02.279 --> 02:13:04.899
previous conversation during the work session I'm very

02:13:04.899 --> 02:13:06.560
excited to see the

02:13:06.560 --> 02:13:11.159
potential for conservation developments coming to our

02:13:11.159 --> 02:13:14.119
community. It's not part of

02:13:14.119 --> 02:13:17.079
the Denton Development Code yet and I understand that is a

02:13:17.079 --> 02:13:18.279
huge undertaking so

02:13:18.279 --> 02:13:21.720
I'm certainly not expecting this to come to us next week

02:13:21.720 --> 02:13:22.720
but I was just wondering

02:13:22.720 --> 02:13:25.779
if I if we could even just get a preliminary kind of

02:13:25.779 --> 02:13:27.199
overview about where

02:13:27.199 --> 02:13:30.710
where we're headed with that so that we can see

02:13:30.710 --> 02:13:33.039
developments like this come to

02:13:33.039 --> 02:13:36.649
us a little more frequently. So thank you. Okay.

02:13:36.649 --> 02:13:40.000
Commissioner Taylor. Thank You Chair.

02:13:40.000 --> 02:13:45.100
I just wanted to reiterate the need for us to create a sub

02:13:45.100 --> 02:13:46.920
committee to look at

02:13:46.920 --> 02:13:50.890
the entire business innovation district and specifically

02:13:50.890 --> 02:13:52.439
the Mesa Drive area. I

02:13:52.439 --> 02:13:54.869
mentioned this last meeting and I'd like to get that on our

02:13:54.869 --> 02:13:56.159
next agenda just if

02:13:56.159 --> 02:13:58.680
we can just form the subcommittee then we can move forward

02:13:58.680 --> 02:13:59.840
at a later date but

02:13:59.840 --> 02:14:01.449
I think we really need to get the ball rolling. We have a

02:14:01.449 --> 02:14:02.279
lot of stuff happening

02:14:02.279 --> 02:14:07.970
in the northwest quadrant of the city. Okay. Commissioner

02:14:07.970 --> 02:14:11.279
Detovits. Yes going

02:14:11.279 --> 02:14:16.100
forward with my question and work session to staff and

02:14:16.100 --> 02:14:17.680
appropriate answers.

02:14:17.680 --> 02:14:24.710
In previous approvals we have made additions in the sense

02:14:24.710 --> 02:14:25.680
of we approve

02:14:25.680 --> 02:14:30.090
with conditions bike racks or certain signs of certain

02:14:30.090 --> 02:14:33.239
sizes whatever. What

02:14:33.239 --> 02:14:36.840
does city staff do to make sure that those things do get

02:14:36.840 --> 02:14:38.640
done? Because I'm in

02:14:38.640 --> 02:14:42.680
particular looking at the special sign district that we put

02:14:42.680 --> 02:14:43.800
in place for the

02:14:43.800 --> 02:14:46.920
mall and I'm seeing that certain things are happening but

02:14:46.920 --> 02:14:48.199
certain things are not

02:14:48.199 --> 02:14:51.420
happening and is that concluded or at what point in time do

02:14:51.420 --> 02:14:52.319
we say hey you

02:14:52.319 --> 02:14:57.250
have not complied with with our recommendations. There are

02:14:57.250 --> 02:14:58.039
a myriad of

02:14:58.039 --> 02:15:01.039
steps associated with let's talk about the I believe you're

02:15:01.039 --> 02:15:01.840
talking about

02:15:01.840 --> 02:15:07.039
Golden Triangle Mall the overlay district right. Once they

02:15:07.039 --> 02:15:07.640
submit for a

02:15:07.640 --> 02:15:10.760
permit that has to be cross-referenced with the conditions

02:15:10.760 --> 02:15:11.800
associated with that

02:15:11.800 --> 02:15:14.960
overlay district. Assuming everything is fine then their

02:15:14.960 --> 02:15:15.760
permits are issued to

02:15:15.760 --> 02:15:19.800
them and signs are installed and inspected so the different

02:15:19.800 --> 02:15:20.279
departments

02:15:20.279 --> 02:15:23.439
and the different teams that evaluate that. If something

02:15:23.439 --> 02:15:25.000
has been missed or you

02:15:25.000 --> 02:15:27.970
notice that there's lack of progress in some way and you've

02:15:27.970 --> 02:15:29.119
highlighted that to

02:15:29.119 --> 02:15:32.720
me I will follow up. With respect to let's take specific

02:15:32.720 --> 02:15:33.859
use permits as an

02:15:33.859 --> 02:15:37.369
example those are site plans with those site plans they our

02:15:37.369 --> 02:15:38.300
Commission has the

02:15:38.300 --> 02:15:41.810
ability to attach additional conditions to that. Those

02:15:41.810 --> 02:15:43.880
conditions become part of

02:15:43.880 --> 02:15:46.560
an ordinance as does the overlay district for signs special

02:15:46.560 --> 02:15:47.199
sign district.

02:15:47.199 --> 02:15:49.880
That ordinance is then attached to any permits that come

02:15:49.880 --> 02:15:50.840
through or that are

02:15:50.840 --> 02:15:53.319
submitted for that specific development and then they're

02:15:53.319 --> 02:15:54.399
cross-referenced from

02:15:54.399 --> 02:15:57.090
the planning team from the plans examiner building

02:15:57.090 --> 02:15:58.279
inspection team from

02:15:58.279 --> 02:16:01.399
our urban forest or in our landscape administrator as well.

02:16:01.399 --> 02:16:03.199
So everybody plays

02:16:03.199 --> 02:16:06.710
a role in evaluation of the program or the project. That

02:16:06.710 --> 02:16:08.520
timeline for that final

02:16:08.520 --> 02:16:14.739
write-off could be? Well typically we're talking about the

02:16:14.739 --> 02:16:15.319
first review is

02:16:15.319 --> 02:16:18.689
typically a 10-day time frame assuming that the application

02:16:18.689 --> 02:16:19.640
is in order as

02:16:19.640 --> 02:16:23.430
submitted and that all this all the pertinent documentation

02:16:23.430 --> 02:16:24.000
has been

02:16:24.000 --> 02:16:27.119
provided from your civil sets to your architectural site

02:16:27.119 --> 02:16:28.239
plan landscape plan

02:16:28.239 --> 02:16:32.590
all those your MEP plans for example because you're

02:16:32.590 --> 02:16:35.280
submitting for permit.

02:16:35.280 --> 02:16:38.670
More than likely I would suspect some sometimes there is a

02:16:38.670 --> 02:16:39.719
second review but

02:16:39.719 --> 02:16:43.719
we are talking every review cycle at least 10 days. We take

02:16:43.719 --> 02:16:44.959
no longer than 10

02:16:44.959 --> 02:16:51.370
days to review. Commissioner Hatchbuth. Thank you chair. I

02:16:51.370 --> 02:16:53.360
'm not sure I need help

02:16:53.360 --> 02:16:58.959
with directions. So I'd like for especially with the trees

02:16:58.959 --> 02:17:00.000
I'd like to try

02:17:00.000 --> 02:17:03.250
to quantify that in the information we get given a

02:17:03.250 --> 02:17:05.799
percentage. So let's say a

02:17:05.799 --> 02:17:09.989
heavily treed lot is going to lose X percent of its trees

02:17:09.989 --> 02:17:11.159
that sort of thing

02:17:11.159 --> 02:17:14.819
so that I can kind of get my head around what we're doing

02:17:14.819 --> 02:17:17.120
and kind of the it just

02:17:17.120 --> 02:17:20.270
helps me process so I don't know where that falls in in the

02:17:20.270 --> 02:17:21.319
process and then

02:17:21.319 --> 02:17:25.190
secondly so that's one thing. Okay. Is it okay? Now you're

02:17:25.190 --> 02:17:25.959
gonna have to remind me

02:17:25.959 --> 02:17:28.889
of the second question later. We'll do and so the other

02:17:28.889 --> 02:17:30.159
thing is I'd like to get

02:17:30.159 --> 02:17:34.190
information earlier in the process we talked in work

02:17:34.190 --> 02:17:36.239
session about things that

02:17:36.239 --> 02:17:40.770
come to planning I'd like to try to get a general list

02:17:40.770 --> 02:17:42.440
Excel anything just a

02:17:42.440 --> 02:17:46.850
simple this is what's coming in the pipeline almost like a

02:17:46.850 --> 02:17:48.280
activity report of

02:17:48.280 --> 02:17:50.790
some sort and I don't know if that's doable but that's just

02:17:50.790 --> 02:17:52.120
a wish list. Okay.

02:17:52.120 --> 02:17:56.360
I'll ask Manal to try to address your first question. The

02:17:56.360 --> 02:17:57.600
first question as it

02:17:57.600 --> 02:18:02.799
relates to a straight zoning request so a change in zoning

02:18:02.799 --> 02:18:04.239
from X district to Y

02:18:04.239 --> 02:18:08.690
district merely addresses the land use the proposed the

02:18:08.690 --> 02:18:09.840
compatibility with and

02:18:09.840 --> 02:18:12.989
that's the land use analysis. So it's difficult to quantify

02:18:12.989 --> 02:18:13.780
because a tree

02:18:13.780 --> 02:18:18.489
mitigation survey plan has not been provided a tree survey

02:18:18.489 --> 02:18:19.520
has not been

02:18:19.520 --> 02:18:22.639
provided because until the applicant is not to the point

02:18:22.639 --> 02:18:23.520
where they're ready to

02:18:23.520 --> 02:18:25.969
commit and know that they're going to get their zoning that

02:18:25.969 --> 02:18:26.760
information is not

02:18:26.760 --> 02:18:29.579
readily available sometimes it might be in the instance

02:18:29.579 --> 02:18:30.579
where it is we would

02:18:30.579 --> 02:18:35.520
provide that to you if a lot is heavily treed as we've

02:18:35.520 --> 02:18:36.879
mentioned today we work

02:18:36.879 --> 02:18:40.180
with the applicant to see what we can do but the numbers

02:18:40.180 --> 02:18:41.440
cannot be provided

02:18:41.440 --> 02:18:44.909
until let's say there's a detailed plan approval it was a

02:18:44.909 --> 02:18:46.159
specific use permit

02:18:46.159 --> 02:18:49.680
associated with that so in most instances if something goes

02:18:49.680 --> 02:18:50.079
straight to

02:18:50.079 --> 02:18:52.719
building permit that you don't even see then that you

02:18:52.719 --> 02:18:54.120
wouldn't be privy to those

02:18:54.120 --> 02:18:56.799
numbers just because of the way the process is not just in

02:18:56.799 --> 02:18:57.760
Denton but that's

02:18:57.760 --> 02:19:02.690
the typical development process. Second question what is in

02:19:02.690 --> 02:19:04.159
the pipeline and how

02:19:04.159 --> 02:19:07.899
can you be privy to it? There are some functions that go to

02:19:07.899 --> 02:19:08.520
the planning

02:19:08.520 --> 02:19:10.690
department there are some functions that go to the building

02:19:10.690 --> 02:19:11.200
inspection

02:19:11.200 --> 02:19:14.170
department and they all have a development function to it

02:19:14.170 --> 02:19:14.479
so if

02:19:14.479 --> 02:19:17.040
something is permitted by right it goes straight in for

02:19:17.040 --> 02:19:19.159
building permit. I can

02:19:19.159 --> 02:19:22.000
meet with our building official and I can meet with the

02:19:22.000 --> 02:19:23.159
planning team to see

02:19:23.159 --> 02:19:25.639
if there's something we can work out where there's a link

02:19:25.639 --> 02:19:26.479
of some sort that

02:19:26.479 --> 02:19:29.120
you can access off the website to know what is happening

02:19:29.120 --> 02:19:29.639
because my

02:19:29.639 --> 02:19:32.479
understanding is you want to know what's happening okay I

02:19:32.479 --> 02:19:33.799
'll try and get you some

02:19:33.799 --> 02:19:36.040
information pertaining to that and I you know we can give

02:19:36.040 --> 02:19:36.719
it to the whole

02:19:36.719 --> 02:19:43.850
Commission at the next meeting if I have it. Was there a

02:19:43.850 --> 02:19:44.799
third question? No? Okay.

02:19:44.799 --> 02:19:49.030
I don't see anybody else so I'm gonna step in with mine. We

02:19:49.030 --> 02:19:50.040
had a lot of

02:19:50.040 --> 02:19:54.450
discussion this evening in work session and we've had it in

02:19:54.450 --> 02:19:55.559
some prior work

02:19:55.559 --> 02:20:00.659
sessions about traffic, street improvements and I think it

02:20:00.659 --> 02:20:01.479
would be a

02:20:01.479 --> 02:20:05.450
good idea for us to get on our future agenda hopefully

02:20:05.450 --> 02:20:06.920
maybe our next work

02:20:06.920 --> 02:20:09.819
session because we are spending a lot of time on this to

02:20:09.819 --> 02:20:10.959
get an update and get

02:20:10.959 --> 02:20:15.840
some definitions from staff about perimeter street paving

02:20:15.840 --> 02:20:17.159
so that we can

02:20:17.159 --> 02:20:20.829
all understand what a developer's responsibility is how

02:20:20.829 --> 02:20:22.479
that process works

02:20:22.479 --> 02:20:25.479
whether it's the city of Denton Road or a Tech Stock Road

02:20:25.479 --> 02:20:27.120
and what things we can

02:20:27.120 --> 02:20:31.260
ask developers to do or not do and I think it would help

02:20:31.260 --> 02:20:32.159
all of us in

02:20:32.159 --> 02:20:34.709
looking at all these projects because traffic is a big

02:20:34.709 --> 02:20:36.159
concern and there are

02:20:36.159 --> 02:20:39.840
limited things that developers are responsible for and I

02:20:39.840 --> 02:20:41.000
think it'd help us

02:20:41.000 --> 02:20:44.600
all so I'd like to see that as soon as we can get that

02:20:44.600 --> 02:20:47.159
before us.

02:20:47.159 --> 02:20:53.000
Commissioner Dudowitz. Commissioner we started this

02:20:53.000 --> 02:20:54.520
discussion a year ago and

02:20:54.520 --> 02:20:58.680
we asked staff specifically do we have someone that's

02:20:58.680 --> 02:21:01.079
liaison with DOT so that

02:21:01.079 --> 02:21:05.530
we can get answers about the impact to our streets and to

02:21:05.530 --> 02:21:06.920
our area of their

02:21:06.920 --> 02:21:10.389
projects and as we have with Teasley that's a DOT and we're

02:21:10.389 --> 02:21:11.120
asked what's you

02:21:11.120 --> 02:21:14.049
know we have some sort of idea but I'm also understanding

02:21:14.049 --> 02:21:15.120
that they have more

02:21:15.120 --> 02:21:18.809
specific plans and ideas that we may be privy to a liaison

02:21:18.809 --> 02:21:20.479
from staff to DOT

02:21:20.479 --> 02:21:24.120
they could present to us and or have someone from DOT come

02:21:24.120 --> 02:21:25.159
and speak to us

02:21:25.159 --> 02:21:27.799
with regard to what their plans are and then we can hear

02:21:27.799 --> 02:21:28.959
from the horse's mouth

02:21:28.959 --> 02:21:40.649
so to speak. Thank you. Anybody else? Sure. I have a

02:21:40.649 --> 02:21:41.479
clarification question

02:21:41.479 --> 02:21:45.680
Commissioner Taylor would you like us then or is it the

02:21:45.680 --> 02:21:46.079
wish of the

02:21:46.079 --> 02:21:50.110
Commission to have an item on the next agenda to create a

02:21:50.110 --> 02:21:52.159
subcommittee to

02:21:52.159 --> 02:21:57.520
assess those? Got it. Okay thank you.

02:22:00.840 --> 02:22:03.590
Last thing I'll throw out is I want to thank staff for the

02:22:03.590 --> 02:22:06.200
update on the matrix

02:22:06.200 --> 02:22:10.399
this is something I think has come before us in the last

02:22:10.399 --> 02:22:11.799
number of months

02:22:11.799 --> 02:22:14.940
and I think it's been a great help it's been a kind of an

02:22:14.940 --> 02:22:16.200
ongoing issue as I've

02:22:16.200 --> 02:22:20.590
turned on the Commission of questions coming back of things

02:22:20.590 --> 02:22:21.479
that have been

02:22:21.479 --> 02:22:25.879
asked and maybe not been able to be gotten to yet and I

02:22:25.879 --> 02:22:27.040
think this is a great

02:22:27.040 --> 02:22:30.729
way for all of us to keep track of the items that we've

02:22:30.729 --> 02:22:32.440
asked questions about

02:22:32.440 --> 02:22:36.600
and time frames and I just appreciate staff continuing to

02:22:36.600 --> 02:22:37.120
keep this updated

02:22:37.120 --> 02:22:42.840
and bringing this to us at a very frequent basis so good

02:22:42.840 --> 02:22:45.040
job and thank you.

02:22:45.040 --> 02:22:51.680
No other speakers from the Commission and then at 7 45 I'm

02:22:51.680 --> 02:22:53.479
going to close this

02:22:53.479 --> 02:22:58.360
evening's PNZ meeting. Thank you.
