Our Planning and Zoning Commission meeting for July 13th.
This will be our work session.
This meeting has been duly posted and we do have a quorum
present.
Our first order of business today is going to be to receive
a report of our clarification of agenda items
and I will turn it over to Manal for presentation.
Thank you Chairperson Strange. We have several plots on our
agenda.
We have two preliminary plots, some final plots and some
replots as well.
We also have an additional item for presentation. So if
there are any questions associated with plots,
we'll call upon the specific staff member to make that
presentation for you.
Commissioner Bet.
Thank you Chair. I do want a couple of them.
Okay.
And the first one is with the symbiosis edition. So this
one kind of raised a red flag with me.
And I may as Mike Bell likes to point out, be overthinking
this. Sorry about that.
But I see an area here that we're coming in and we're
building the plan set up.
The guy has intentions of doing a multifamily dwelling.
And we're in an area where there's some, it looks like it's
an older housing neighborhood.
There's some, a couple of houses just to the north of this
property.
Some along Johnson Street and some on the south side too.
So what this raises is a red flag for me. So somebody walk
me through this if they can.
Because I.
I'll have Julie Wyatt come in and go over the preliminary
plot.
And then I believe Julie, the final plot is on tonight's
agenda too.
So we'll address both and go over what is before you as it
relates to the subdivision ordinance.
Okay.
And then we'd be happy to answer any questions that you
have.
Okay. If I can just, I think my main concern here is I get
this sense of
this being an issue with gentrification. So that's kind of
where I'm going with this.
Right.
So in terms of what's before you is the preliminary plot
and the final plot.
In our background information, we indicated that the
property is being plotted to
multi-family development.
That being said, everything based on the Denton Development
Code is in order.
The zoning is in place.
So maybe the bigger question as a future agenda item is to
revisit the bigger question that you
have of gentrification, which would not be associated with
this plot.
Okay.
So.
If that makes sense.
When you say, address it as a future item, then you're
saying in a public hearing or at another meeting?
We can discuss that when we go to our future agenda items
as it relates to the agenda after
while we're in regular meeting.
Okay.
Concluding items, you could bring that up.
Okay.
And I got you there.
On the Worsham Valley estates, just quick question there.
This parcel has a water tank or pond on it.
Will it be preserved?
Do we know?
Yes, the easement is there to protect that.
Okay.
Just we.
The Beaver Creek addition, for some reason, I thought what
we were dealing with in the past was on the
east side of Stewart, but this is on the west side, I
gather, from what I've seen.
And this has an AES.
So what does this AES entail?
Sure.
Are we making some big changes here?
No changes.
It's in conformance with the preliminary plot that was
approved recently.
Yeah.
In their preliminary plot, they had phases that were den
oted on that plot.
They also had a phasing plan.
So this is just the beginning of the development.
So this is section 1A, be the first lots, and then they're
going to come through with other sections.
So let me pull it up.
All right.
I'll rotate it so it looks like it does on the ground.
So yes, here is Stewart and here is loop 288.
Down in this area.
So it's in the same configuration that was proposed in the
preliminary plot, or approved
in the preliminary plot.
Where is the environmental sensitive area that we--
This doesn't actually affect that.
It's going to come in in the subsequent plots.
So that was something we looked at during the review to
make sure.
So this is-- it conforms to that preliminary plot, and then
the ESA is going to start rolling in
in the subsequent phases because it's going to start-- the
next phases are going to start
being in those areas that would affect it and that those
open space lots are going to be dedicated.
So it's not an area of concern for this agenda item?
Not tonight.
It will be an upcoming one.
Yes, sir.
Okay.
And lastly, the Preserved Pecan Creek.
Can we get just a brief discussion on how the public
drainage and the floodplain easement
will be developed?
This area feeds into Lake Louisville, so are they the
developers who are going to build
all these houses, are they going to take advantage of that
and make kind of a nice park out of it,
or do we not?
Let me pull that up and I'll-- I can discuss what's being
proposed, and then we may need
Earl to supplement my conversation, but the FEMA area, the
floodplain area, all of this
is going to be open space.
So that burrow is going to go through it, and then these
houses are behind.
So those-- there's the creek right there, and it's-- the
housing part is going to stay
out of the FEMA area.
So they won't drain into that?
I'm going to let Earl discuss how they're going to drain.
This entire subdivision does drain to the floodplain by
curb and less and storm piping.
Okay, and that makes sense.
All right, thanks, Earl.
Okay, I'm done.
Thank you.
Any other questions on plaques?
We do have a zoning case, Mr. Jefferson Strange, which Mike
Bell is going to present to us.
This really is a fairly straightforward rezoning, or
initial zoning, that is.
It's Z16A, it's off of Geesling Road.
The request is an initial zoning, an initial zoning because
it was just annexed last month,
so it doesn't have an official zoning designation yet.
This would be the first, and they're requesting employment
center industrial, or ECI.
The property is kind of shown here in yellow.
It's on the west side of Geesling Road, just south of the
university.
And you can see the United Copper up here to the north.
Safety clean over here.
And this is Cooper Creek and Mayhill Road.
As I said, it was annexed in June 16th.
It was part of the 2010 annexation plan, had a non-annex
ation agreement through 2020,
which restricted use of the property only to agriculture.
It has a new owner, they want to develop it, so then
therefore they annexed.
The current zoning is the RD5X placeholder district, and
they're proposing ECI.
ECI is consistent with the future land use designation,
which is business innovation.
That area supports both ECI and ECC, Employment Center
Commercial,
so it's consistent with the future land use map.
City Council did approve the annexation earlier this month.
It was made full aware at the time that their intent was to
do
kind of white manufacturing uses.
Council saw in the HUSHIE with that, so we factored that in
our consideration,
as well as it being consistent with the future land use
plan.
So we didn't receive any notices back.
I'll stand for any questions.
Oh, I also would point out that the applicant will be here
tonight,
but he does not wish to make a presentation.
So for the order of tonight's proceedings, he won't be.
He'll just answer any questions if you have them.
So when this item comes up, just ask, go straight for staff
presentation then?
Correct.
Any questions for Mike?
Commissioner Beck, sorry.
Chair, in your backup information down here at the bottom
of the first page,
it says the tributary of Cooper Creek that flows through O
sa at the property
is encumbered by FEMA, by the FEMA floodplain,
as well as water-related and upland habitat, environmental
sensitive area.
So when you say encumbered, is that not an active tributary
then?
It is. It's both FEMA and ESA, so they cannot develop in it
.
Okay.
They have no intent to.
If they should, it would have to come before you as an
alternative ESA plan.
Okay. So this light manufacturing we're doing,
I guess we're sensitive to that, that whatever they do can
't.
Correct.
The Beatty property, where you see Beatty Street there, do
they still live there?
I knew the Beatty's a long time ago.
I do not know that.
Okay. And this is not going to hamper them.
I notice they've got a pretty good buffer area there, but
nothing from them at all on this.
Okay.
That's it.
Thank you, Mike.
Thank you.
Okay.
One item the Chair is going to ask to add to the agenda.
We've got three separate sets of minutes tonight to
consider,
so I thought it might be a good idea during work session,
if anybody has any questions or revisions on our minutes,
to work through those at this time rather than trying to do
it in our other meeting.
Anybody have any questions or changes on minutes?
Commissioner Bruegel.
Thank you, Chair.
No, I just wanted to thank staff for correcting,
I believe it was the minutes on May 11th, it was the first
set.
That better reflected, I think, the conversation,
so I just wanted to thank you for correcting that.
Thanks. No questions on minutes?
Okay.
Then our next item in our work session will be to receive a
report
from Ron Magida on DIN Plan 2030.
Thank you, Chair, members of the Commission.
Give me a few minutes to pull up the PowerPoint
presentation when we get started.
And while you're getting set up, about how long will your
presentation be?
Probably 20 minutes.
Okay.
Hopefully it won't be too long.
It depends on the questions.
Well, now we have food, so if this is our last item and it
might go a little long,
we might take a break, but since it's going to be that long
,
let's go ahead with the presentation if that's fine with
everybody else,
and we'll eat afterwards.
Okay.
Thank you.
Do you know what long it is?
Oh, you should have told me.
It was saved in five minutes.
Thank you, Julie.
Well, thank you for the Commission for the opportunity to
present to you
the update to the action plan.
This was part of the DIN Plan 2030 comprehensive plan.
As you all are familiar, in the back of your DIN Plan 2030
is an action plan that basically
lists all the actions within the plan, prepares who the
department that's responsible for it,
prepares a timeline as well as any other partners that are
going to help with that
implementation of that action plan.
We're going to discuss that.
As you all know, this DIN Plan 2030 was adopted last year,
February 2015,
and again in the implementation and monitoring element,
which is the last element, there is an action plan.
That action plan, as you see here, was also included in
your backup,
has, we talked about, relatively establishes the timeframe
and the relative priority of each action.
There is frameworks for guiding decision making within the
action itself,
with regards to the responsible department as well as the
timeline.
Lastly, the action plan has over 285 action synthesized
actions.
So these are actions that are combined with multiple
actions where they were common
in the elements.
We put them together.
As you can see in this exhibit here, action two actually
has numerous actions from the plan.
So again, that's the reason why there's 285.
The process in which this update was put together involved
the technical advisory committee.
As you all know, this technical advisory committee is made
of approximately 26 senior staff members.
Each technically experts in their own field.
And as you all know, the comprehensive plan is not just one
technical aspect.
It's got multiple different, from engineering to
environmental to police and fire.
So we involve those folks in the process of updating the
action plan,
because they are really the people that are involved in
implementing the plan.
So as we started this effort, we reached out to them and
they're the primary persons or people that
help put this plan or this action update plan together.
As you can see, this is not in your DEN Plan 2030.
There's a status column and this was included in your
backup.
That's the primary entry in which the technical advisor
committee provided their status,
their progress in the actions that they've been assigned.
And we'll get into more details as far as what has transp
ired within the past year.
Some key accomplishments, also any impediments that were
encountered,
and other recommendations that the technical advisory
committee feels that needs to be done.
These recommendations are primarily related to who's
responsible.
If there was some addition to the responsible department,
another recommendation may be if there were other partners
that we can enlist to help
implement these actions.
And then maybe also if the timeframe is a little bit off,
they can certainly recommend updates on how to either speed
it up or maybe
postpone it for whatever reason they think is necessary.
So with that, before I get to some of the key
accomplishments,
I want to give the commission an opportunity, did you all
have any questions
with regards to the statuses?
Do you have an opportunity to read it and form any
questions that I can answer at this point?
Or if not, I can continue with the PowerPoint presentation.
All right, so the first key accomplishment is the
initiation of an economic development
partnership action team.
This is a strategic action or plan that the economic
development department has initiated.
They started this early in 2015 as the DEN Plan 2030 update
was wrapping up.
There's six teams that make up this partnership team.
It's teams that focus on recruitment, Code DEN, which is a
technical team that looks at technology,
partnerships.
There's culture and unique to DEN.
They focus on those actions.
And then also, I believe it's, I'll take my notes real
quick.
Outreach as well.
So those are the key or the teams that make up this
economic development partnership team.
And again, they're currently in place and are working
towards implementing actions to help
in their respective action teams.
In January as well, the last year, again, as the DEN Plan
2030 was wrapping up,
the community development department finished up their, I'm
sorry, not the community development
department, but the PCO, Public Communication Office,
finished up their communication plan.
And this is in working concert with not only with the City
of DEN, but with other entities
within the communication field that puts together how we
are going to communicate to the general
public.
So it's a plan that they are using to implement their
objectives and their strategies moving
forward.
Technical Services has launched a free Wi-Fi.
So if you're around the DEN Square, again, this was back in
March, they've launched this.
So there is now free Wi-Fi.
So that's a key accomplishment.
That's one of the things that was mentioned in the DEN Plan
2030 as an action item.
This is the Community Development Department or Division.
They completed their consolidated plan for the next five
years.
This consolidated plan is a fairly thick document as well.
Again, this is a plan which they are using to strategize on
how they're going to implement
their specific tasks.
And a couple of those specific tasks involve the
implementation of some grant programs.
HUD offers a CBD grant that is included in this
consolidated plan, also a home grant.
So it basically outlines how this division is going to work
towards implementing their
strategies and their objectives as well.
So as you can see, just in a few examples, we've already
seen several different departments
use the comprehensive plan to develop or finalize and fine
tune their plan to move forward on some
of their actions that they're looking to accomplish.
Again, in later that year, 2015 August, the City Council
adopted the Code Amendments to
the Gas, Well, and Production section of the DDC.
That was again back late, mid to late August of last year.
In September, the Plan Department started the existing land
use database.
And as you know, in order to be able to plan, we need to be
able to understand what we have
on the ground.
And for the longest time, we have never had an existing
land use or at least kept it maintained.
I can say that our GIS division has started that up and it
's actually maintaining this database.
So if when we need data, we're able to compile it within a
reasonable, timely manner.
And we have this readily available for any future studies
that we may be looking at doing
in the near future.
Again, September of last year, we initiated or we created
the Planning Zoning Subcommittee,
which is to look at rezoning potentials within the city.
And that committee has met several times.
Members of this commission have participated in that.
And we've identified several locations within the city that
we feel that should be initiated
as staff to bring forward as a rezoning.
We are also going to be talking to our City Council in the
near future to give them an
update on this specific because ultimately, those rezoning
that staff is going to propose
are going to go to the City Council for their consideration
.
So an upcoming meeting with the City Council is scheduled
for later this year.
Community Improvement Services, CIS, has started an
enhanced right-of-way maintenance program.
This started October of last year where they were granted
some funds to work with a private
contractor to look at how they can improve and beautify
existing right-of-ways.
Currently, it's my understanding that there are 33 areas
that they maintain as we speak.
And hopefully that program continues.
I have a list of those areas if you'd like.
I don't have it readily available with me, but I can
certainly provide that to the commission.
Commissioner Bec.
Thank you, Chair.
These right-of-ways, are these where roads next to the R&D
model were?
These roads?
No, these are existing roads.
I'm reading my notes here.
33 total streets, and they're in both TexDOT and City right
-of-way.
So there's a partnership with TexDOT to identify some areas
where maybe we want to enhance those
areas more than what their current scheduled maintenance is
.
So that's the effort is to improve those areas.
Okay, thank you.
Commissioner Detovits.
Ron, you said there's three that you have?
33 right-of-way areas, yes.
You can give us a list of those?
I can, yes.
At some other point in time?
Yeah, I don't have that, I just have a note that there are
33 areas that the CIS folks
are looking, are working on.
They include both DOT and?
City right-of-ways.
City and what about county?
I don't know.
All I know is that it involves City and TexDOT right-of-
ways.
Yeah, I think county, you're looking at further out the
city.
I think what we're trying to focus on, again, assuming that
that's what the CIS folks are
doing is more internally into the city's city limits.
Okay.
Economic Development has initiated a Den Arts Walk of Fame
and as you all are familiar,
if you are walking down Hickory Street, there are plaques
on Hickory Street that identify
key members of our community that were instrumental in the
arts and other avenues to
enhance Den.
Total, there are 12 currently that have been installed,
sorry, last year.
The program is an annual program.
My understanding is that next year they're looking at
adding six more plaques.
So a subcommittee or a committee has been identified and is
working in identifying who
should be on that next list and so annually there will be
another six or so plaques installed
along Hickory Street.
The plan department has started the initiation of a small
area plan update,
one that we'll be bringing forward to the subcommittee or
to the commission, sorry,
soon. It's an area that we've seen some activity.
This is the Hickory area next to Fry.
That scope in that area is what we're looking at and again,
there is an existing Fry small area
plan. It was completed back in, I want to say, '99 so it's
somewhat outdated and we're looking at
updating it in efforts to identify what we can do to
improve that area or help improve that area.
Chair?
Commissioner Bruegel.
Thank you, Chair. Ron, have there been other neighborhoods
that have approached the planning
department to work on small area plans? I know several
years ago there was a talk about the
neighborhood Ector and Bonnie Bray somewhere in that area
and more recently the neighborhood by
T.W.U. along Austin Street. There was talk for a while
about, so have other neighborhoods
approached the planning department?
The Ector folks, as you all know, there was a rezoning
recently along the university so those
folks did approach and I think you were one of those that
were given that opportunity and we did
connect with some members of the neighborhood along Ector
Street. That small area plan had been
drafted, never finalized. We're looking at reviving that
small area plan and hopefully we can bring
that forward as well. Other areas where we see that there's
a need for a small area study plan
has been south of downtown. There's an area there that we
're looking at also starting but the one
in Austin, I have not heard anything. If you would like, I
can maybe touch base with you. I'll find
it maybe we can explore that area as well and that's
certainly an area we can follow up as well.
That'd be great and as I understand it, it's primarily the
impetus is on the neighborhood
to come to you. It's not the city saying we think that this
would be a great place for small area
plans. It's neighbors getting together and then reaching
out to the planning department.
It's both. I mean if the city staff feels that there's an
opportunity to look at an area where
we feel that there's ways we can help, we'll propose that
and that's something that we did
for the one just south of downtown. There's an area there
that the Stroud area neighborhood.
That's something that we're looking at just because we see
that development is coming from
Eagle North as well as Elm and west. So we feel that that's
an area we can look at again.
What was that process like? Did you all just have like a
neighborhood meeting and reach out to the
neighbors and there was a program that existed? Yeah, we
haven't really started it yet but that
is an area that we're focusing to start soon. So that one
will probably involve some neighborhood
meetings where we'll invite the entire neighborhood,
identify some issues, constraints that we can
address and we already identified a few things that we can
help and maybe the community can
bring a little bit more input into that. Yeah, I think that
's great and I know that staff resources
are very limited. I get that but I think making yourselves
more available and more visible because
I think there's a lot of, there are several neighborhoods
in town that probably do feel
somewhat like they could use some support and maybe don't
quite know where to go. Sure. And
I imagine those that are informed probably reach out to
their city council person but there's
probably a lot of people that may not even know that this
even exists. So I would encourage more
initiative like that reaching out to the neighborhoods. I
think that's great. Well no, I appreciate that and just
as we know last year we started the long-range planning
section and myself along with Cindy
Jackson who's here have initiated a number of long-range
projects which was the Stroud neighborhood
as well as the reviving of the Ector Street small area plan
. So there are ones that are coming.
Great. Julie Wyatt is heading the effort on the Fry Street
overlay or the small area plan. So
we'll start to see more projects and again it's not
something that we will say. We will actually
go out and hopefully get some projects going. That's great.
Thank you.
Commissioner Hatchbeth. Thanks Chair. What is the, so we
have development pending there on
Fry Street. What is the process assuming the small area
plan is upgraded or changed
and there's a project on the books. What does the
transition look like for an applicant?
We, this project that you're referring to Commissioner H
atchbeth has been in the process or
in the queue for some time. They're actually going through
the review process right now. So
we can't stop them from going forward. We can only you know
recommend that you know we wait till the
study is done but they're moving forward. We're not going
to you know prevent them from moving
forward. So you'll see this project that you're referring
to prior to this study being complete
is my assumption. Okay. Okay.
Again something that you all were involved in the mobility
plan. 2016 January is when it was adopted.
That kind of set the stage for what PS's you know efforts
in adopting a road impact piece but this
was something that was needed to be done. Again this was
done or completed and adopted in January
of this year. Also early this year the airport adopted or
was able to adopt their airport master
plan. Again this master plan is to help them plan and
strategize their efforts over at the airport. So
this was something that was well needed. I'm not sure if
this was an update or rather a new one but
I think this was something that they were anticipating and
hopefully that can help their
expansion efforts over at the airport. Commissioner Beck.
Thank you Chair. Is this
master plan available online for people to? I don't know
for sure if it is but if it's not we can
certainly make it available. I'll have to follow up with
the airport folks to make sure that it is
available. I can't confirm it is or it is not. Okay thanks.
This is an exciting recognition of the
League of American Bicyclists gave the City of Den an
honorable mention back in February of this year.
The the city applied for a bicycle friendly I guess
recognition and unfortunately we weren't
able to get a bronze or silver or gold. I think the highest
is applying them but we did get an
honorable mention. Our intent is to reapply again next year
and hopefully we can get another
opportunity to come back and tell you that we got platinum.
So that's the goal at least. So that's
that's our charge. So Julie Anderson was in charge of this
and she was able to at least get us an
honorable mention. Again I mentioned earlier road impact
fees. This was done just this past month
or last last month that is. It was adopted by council. So I
'm not too purview as to the process
in which we are going to move forward but if you all don't
know the council did recommend or a part
of their adoption to have a fee of two thousand dollars per
SFE single-family equivalent. I don't
know if Earl has anything to add as far as the process but
my understanding is still early early
and the process is being defined as we speak.
That same night the council also approved the resolution
regarding the den I'm sorry the
renewable den plan. This is for DME to start their work and
efforts to look at a location and move
forward with their plans for a a plant that would help
their their their efforts in getting 70 percent
renewable energy.
Last I think of these accomplishments is the public arts
master plan. This was presented
last month. It was not adopted. The council directed the
staff to go back and prepare for
a work session. The council just needed more time and
information before they can consider this.
I think this is a a key accomplishment because this sets
the stage as far as what type of art
program or art that we want in the city specifically in the
downtown area. So hopefully this will be
done in the next city council meeting. Some ongoing
implementation. We continue to implement the
sustainability plan. We're also working on the
environmental services programs which is headed by
Dr. Kenny Banks. KDB has a number of programs something
that's very familiar to some of you all.
One of examples is the tree giveaway but they do a lot more
than than just that. Water and wastewater
system capacity programs. Our departments are looking at
how we can conserve water and and be
a little bit more efficient in those regards. And lastly
solid waste and recycling program.
You know that recycling is a big deal in our community and
so continuing with those efforts
is what the solid waste department is doing. So what does
this mean? This was an annual update.
I'm sorry before I move forward were any other questions or
any questions before
I get to my closing statement? None? Great. The next step
or moving forward we are going to continue
to monitor and evaluate these actions. We will be working
myself included with the technical
advisor committee to continue to document any key
accomplishments. If there are any impediments we
will make sure we mention that and obviously if there are
any updates that we need to present we
will do so as well. We will continue to use the DEM plan
2030 as our guiding document in decision
making. We will coordinate with other departments such as
you know water, DEM and any other departments
to help improve or enhance their city programs. And lastly
we will be back or I will be back
to present to this commission hopefully next year and give
you a little bit more update on where we
have what we've done this coming year. So that's that's the
goal. With that that concludes my
presentation. I am available to answer any questions that
you may have.
Well done. Great thank you. Did a great job no questions
thank you.
Anybody have anything else before we close work session?
Okay at 5 38 we'll close our work session at this time
thank you.
Good evening and welcome to the city of Denton planning and
zoning commission meeting for July
13th. It is 6 30 and this meeting has been duly posted and
we have a quorum present and I will
call our meeting to order at this time. Our first order of
a business will be to stand and with the
pledge of allegiance to the U.S. and the Texas flag. I
pledge allegiance to the flag of the United
States of America and to the republic for which it stands
one nation under God indivisible with
liberty and justice for all. I pledge allegiance to the
Texas one state under God one indivisible.
The second item on our agenda this evening is going to be
planning and zoning commission
meetings. The chair would entertain a motion for each
individual minutes separately.
Commissioner Bruegel. I move approval of the minutes from
May 11th 2016.
Commissioner Dudowitz. I second the motion. Okay we have a
first and a second. Any comments
discussion? Seeing none, chair will call for a vote on the
board.
Motion passes seven zero.
Commissioner Taylor. I move approval of the June 8th
minutes. Okay. Commissioner Rizzo. I second.
We have a first and a second. Any discussion on these
minutes?

All right. This next replat is a replat of property in Ro
ads and Ranch which is a planned
development within the city of Denton. It was originally
plotted in order to develop
these large open space lots for golf course development.
Now they're coming back in.
The original plat had this as just vacant open property.
Now they're coming back in
in order to plat those for residential homes in accordance
with the detailed plan that was
approved for Roads and Ranch. So I'll stand for any
questions.
Commissioner Dudledge. Just one question. The golf course
is already existing. Yes.
They're just now going through. They're just, yes, sir.
They're just bringing in those lots
that were originally planned. They just weren't ready for
them yet when the golf course first came in.

for Z 16-0008 at this time.
Okay. I think Mike Bell's going to present this item.
Thank you, Chair. Members of the commission.
This project is Z 16-0008 for Giesling Road. The request is
for an initial zoning district of ECI.
Property was just annexed last month, therefore it does not
have an official zoning district.
This would be its first. The location is on the west side
of Giesling Road, just south of 380.
The proposed zoning district is consistent with the future
land use plan
and compatible with the surrounding land use pattern. More
detail is provided in the
work session, but I'd be happy to answer any questions you
may have.
Any questions for staff?
Thank you, Mike.
Again, this is a public hearing. Anyone who would like to
speak on this item,
either for or opposed, please come forward at this time.
Okay.
When you get to the mic, please give us your name and your
address and then your time will start.
And if you haven't filled out a card for us, please fill
out, it should be either, I think it's a blue
card. Please fill out a blue card for us before you leave
this evening.
Okay.
Mr. Chairman, members of the commission, my name is Randall
Smith. I represent the ownership of this
property. My address is 5428 Lake Victoria Court in Flyer
Mountain, 75022.
As Mike was saying, this property is, was just recently
annexed. It was a 43-acre piece of
property. Roughly half of it was already in the city. The
other half was in the ETJ.
They'll just recently annexed it and we're requesting this
zoning to match the existing zoning on the
remainder of the property. We ask for your favorable
consideration. If you got any questions, I'd be
happy to try to answer them. Any questions for the
applicant?
I see none. Thank you, sir. Thank you.
Again, this is a public hearing. So anyone who would like
to speak on this item,
please come forward at this time.
Seeing none, we will close the public hearing and open the
floor for discussion or motion.
Commissioner Dunham. I move to approve.
Commissioner Beck. Second. Okay. First and a second for
approval. Any further discussion?
Commissioner Rossell. Thank you. I just have more of a
clarification that maybe staff or
someone could help out with. This ECI would butt up against
an NR6 property. Is that generally
acceptable for those zonings to be so close? Is the road
considered enough of a barrier between
those two? Is there any, was there any concern of that from
a staff perspective?
What we'll do is we'll pull up the zoning map and speak to
that to show you the physical
separation of the zoning district associated with the
subject site.
So the NR6 you're referring to is right here. We do
oftentimes see employment centers and
even industrial centers, but residential zoning quite often
. Okay.
And of course the ordinance has specific parameters in
terms of separation through
the buffer requirement, depending on what type of use is
adjacent to
to the subject property. Secondly, if you notice the
subject property is separated by a right of
way as well. Sure. Thank you. Go ahead. Thank you, Mike.
Any other discussion or questions on this item?
We do have a motion with a first and a second before us.
Seeing no further discussion, we'll call for a vote on the
board.
Motion carries seven, zero.
And that will move us to our last two items on our agenda.
It's going to be our project
matrix update and our concluding items. I'll open the floor
for items for update on the
project matrix and anything that would like to be added to
the project matrix.
The first nothing. You got a break. Nothing else on your
plate for a while. Okay.
Seeing no other business before us, I will close our P&Z
meeting tonight at 6 48.
Thank you for coming out tonight.
