WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.280
Good afternoon and welcome to the City of Denton Planning

00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:06.179
and Zoning Commission

00:00:06.179 --> 00:00:11.240
work session for October the 11th 2017. This meeting has

00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:13.160
been duly posted and we

00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:17.920
do have a quorum present and I will call us to order at 5.

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:20.420
04 and at this time I

00:00:20.420 --> 00:00:23.719
will turn it over to Richard for clarification of our

00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:24.960
agenda items and if

00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:27.739
you would like to give us an introduction we would love to

00:00:27.739 --> 00:00:28.079
welcome

00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:32.270
you to our Commission. Certainly. Richard Canone, interim

00:00:32.270 --> 00:00:35.119
planning director, here

00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:39.320
for a period of time assisting with some of the reorgan

00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:39.840
ization of the

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:44.600
department. I currently or currently reside in Florida

00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:45.479
although part-time here

00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:49.270
now but most of my experience has been in Florida although

00:00:49.270 --> 00:00:50.439
I have worked in

00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:53.479
South Texas for a brief period of time. Interestingly

00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:54.439
enough, a little personal

00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:57.359
tidbit, my wife is from South Texas so although I'm not a

00:00:57.359 --> 00:00:58.399
native I am pretty

00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:03.460
close to it as close as I can be but the agenda items this

00:01:03.460 --> 00:01:05.280
evening for

00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:08.049
the most part we have we have two items on consent. One

00:01:08.049 --> 00:01:09.480
item if you

00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:13.409
saw in front of you there is a plat relative to Denton

00:01:13.409 --> 00:01:14.359
Commons.

00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:18.670
Unfortunately the wrong item got uploaded onto the system

00:01:18.670 --> 00:01:19.439
so the plat

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.879
that was provided for you is the correct plat to go with

00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:23.959
that

00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:28.469
application or that agenda item again I'm sorry item 2 to

00:01:28.469 --> 00:01:31.840
be and in addition

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:35.579
there were two two response forms that we received for the

00:01:35.579 --> 00:01:36.519
rezoning item one

00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:40.840
one in favor one one opposed and those had just come in my

00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:41.519
understanding today

00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.810
but but they were they wanted to make sure that those were

00:01:44.810 --> 00:01:45.680
provided for the

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:50.409
meeting. Okay thank you for that I mean to kind of put you

00:01:50.409 --> 00:01:52.620
on the spot I may

00:01:52.620 --> 00:01:55.989
help a little bit here on our consent does anybody have

00:01:55.989 --> 00:01:57.040
questions on our

00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:02.519
consent agenda on either of those items for staff?

00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.040
Commissioner Ellis. Thank you

00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.969
Chair. You know what I just for my own understanding I

00:02:08.969 --> 00:02:10.560
wanted an explanation of

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:15.639
note number seven on consent agenda item A where it says no

00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:16.240
information has been

00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.680
provided that the property can be seward conventionally.

00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.319
Can anyone just

00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:24.639
tell me what that note means?

00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:36.439
Is that on item A or B? It's on A.

00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:45.340
Yeah so I'll let Jim address that question specifically but

00:02:45.340 --> 00:02:46.639
this is a

00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.780
plat for a Duluth Trading Company and Northern Tool site

00:02:49.780 --> 00:02:50.759
and they're also

00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.819
preliminary platting a third lot that's just part of the

00:02:53.819 --> 00:02:55.800
parent parcel but I

00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:00.939
will let Jim speak to that specific note. Thank you. Note

00:03:00.939 --> 00:03:04.039
seven there Jim.

00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:12.099
I appreciate you pointing that out that is actually on our

00:03:12.099 --> 00:03:13.719
preliminary plat

00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:18.479
checklist for applicants I don't know how it got on there

00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:20.000
and when but that

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.500
statement is on there like they're supposed to add that as

00:03:23.500 --> 00:03:25.039
a note. It would

00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:31.000
not apply in this case it can be seward conventionally so

00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.439
it's it's part of the

00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:37.370
the major reformatting cleanup streamlining effort we're

00:03:37.370 --> 00:03:37.919
doing that's

00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:42.050
that's one thing we need to change along with that. Okay so

00:03:42.050 --> 00:03:43.719
it can be and so that

00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:47.800
that note is not right. Okay very good. Jim just for

00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:48.719
clarification that's more

00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:51.490
like one of your standard note things that you guys

00:03:51.490 --> 00:03:52.840
sometimes require just to

00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.900
be put on preliminary plat. Yes yes and like I said I don't

00:03:55.900 --> 00:03:57.400
know how it came to

00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:02.150
be okay but I mean it it should not be a standard note and

00:04:02.150 --> 00:04:03.159
we will fix that

00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.680
checklist and okay does run on this one. Thank you for the

00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.000
clarification. Any

00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:14.680
other questions on consented agenda items for staff?

00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:24.600
Okay we'll move us to items for individual consideration. H

00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:25.319
aley do you

00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:32.279
have a presentation for us on this? Yes sir.

00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:41.410
All right so we actually have two items on the agenda this

00:04:41.410 --> 00:04:43.160
evening associated

00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.040
with Razor Ranch. I prepared a little bit of background

00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:47.279
information and embedded

00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.720
that in my zoning presentation that we'll hear a bit later

00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:51.000
but just to give

00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.769
you some further information it is part of the overlay

00:04:53.769 --> 00:04:55.120
ordinance that site plans

00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.100
for Razor Ranch come before the Planning and Zoning

00:04:57.100 --> 00:04:58.160
Commission for approval

00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:02.629
rather than being approved by staff as other site plans are

00:05:02.629 --> 00:05:03.959
in the community.

00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:08.259
So this request is for approval of a site plan for a Ch

00:05:08.259 --> 00:05:09.600
eddar's restaurant

00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.230
that will be constructed within the Razor Ranch South RR2

00:05:13.230 --> 00:05:14.040
district that's

00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.879
one of the sub areas within the overlay and it will be

00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:18.680
located on lot 25 block A

00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:23.120
of the Razor Ranch Town Center addition. So I've outlined

00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:24.600
the site here in yellow

00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.370
on this aerial just to give you an idea of where it is

00:05:27.370 --> 00:05:28.399
relative to other things

00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.879
that you're probably more familiar with within Razor such

00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:32.680
as the new WynnCo and

00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:34.579
then you've got Raising Cane's and some of the other

00:05:34.579 --> 00:05:35.519
restaurants here along

00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:43.360
University. So this site is a little over one and a half

00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:45.519
acres it will be located

00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:50.980
adjoining the I-35 service road on the east side. Again

00:05:50.980 --> 00:05:52.240
just a little bit of

00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.980
background so Razor Ranch does have a base zoning but the

00:05:55.980 --> 00:05:57.420
entire 410 acres was

00:05:57.420 --> 00:06:00.189
rolled into an overlay district that has specific

00:06:00.189 --> 00:06:01.680
architectural landscaping and

00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.759
sign standards associated with it. So just to give you an

00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:05.759
idea of where the

00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:10.259
property is it's located here in the South RR2 sub district

00:06:10.259 --> 00:06:10.860
within the

00:06:10.860 --> 00:06:16.980
overlay. So as I mentioned before all site plans for Razor

00:06:16.980 --> 00:06:18.399
Ranch come before

00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:21.439
the Planning and Zoning Commission in this case for the

00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:23.000
South RR2 district

00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.230
this site plan had to be in compliance with exhibits C1 and

00:06:26.230 --> 00:06:27.279
D1 of the overlay

00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.399
ordinance which are the architectural standards and landsca

00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:31.399
ping standards for

00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.660
this commercial district. So with each site plan at Razor

00:06:35.660 --> 00:06:36.399
Ranch they're

00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.170
required to submit both the site plan a landscape plan and

00:06:39.170 --> 00:06:40.040
building elevations

00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:45.680
for your consideration. All the plans were provided in your

00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:46.240
backup but I'll

00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:50.579
go through just a few details of them here. So this will be

00:06:50.579 --> 00:06:52.120
a 7,570 square foot

00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:58.040
Cheddar's restaurant. The site will have 125 parking spaces

00:06:58.040 --> 00:06:59.480
. Within Razor Ranch

00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.250
they're fairly unique they have to comply with our minimum

00:07:02.250 --> 00:07:02.600
standards set

00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:05.370
forth in the DDC but they are allowed to have excess

00:07:05.370 --> 00:07:06.399
parking so long as it's

00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:08.519
landscaped in conformance with the standards for the

00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:10.040
overlay. So this site

00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:14.699
was required a minimum of 75 spaces they're providing 125.

00:07:14.699 --> 00:07:15.839
Access to the site

00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:19.600
will not be directly from the service road there are

00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:21.439
private drives that are

00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:26.319
in place to the north and to the east of the property.

00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.879
Looking at their landscape

00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:32.459
plan they required a minimum of 10% landscaping they have

00:07:32.459 --> 00:07:34.399
11.4% total on the

00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.170
site. I've outlined all the landscape areas here in green

00:07:37.170 --> 00:07:38.360
and they will have a

00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:42.839
total of 31.8% tree canopy 20% required for the parking

00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:43.439
lots the site

00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.209
overall has more canopy and landscaping than required by

00:07:46.209 --> 00:07:48.120
code. You can see here

00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:51.240
some some of the more important features would be the

00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.100
screening along the I-35

00:07:53.100 --> 00:07:56.000
service road they have a number of trees and shrubs and

00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:57.120
grasses planted as

00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:00.160
screening elements there and then landscaping incorporated

00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:00.480
throughout the

00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:05.279
parking lot and around the building itself. One of the

00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:06.800
other kind of unique

00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:08.949
features of the razor range overlay is that they have to

00:08:08.949 --> 00:08:10.000
provide plaza area for

00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:13.839
each building. On this site they're providing a total of

00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:15.160
1202 square feet of

00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:20.230
plaza area in which I've outlined here in red. Each plot or

00:08:20.230 --> 00:08:21.560
the plaza area for

00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:24.329
the site has to contain at least three of seven items that

00:08:24.329 --> 00:08:25.240
are outlined in the

00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:28.879
overlay. In this case they've selected to provide benches,

00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:30.000
plaza trees, and

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:32.769
planters within the plaza area. So those elements are

00:08:32.769 --> 00:08:34.000
scattered around the site

00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:37.220
here we have benches on two sides of the building an area

00:08:37.220 --> 00:08:38.360
here with trees and

00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:42.000
then planters provided in front of the building.

00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.879
Commissioner Beck. Thank you Chair. Just quick question

00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:48.120
those plaza areas they're

00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:51.210
not part of Cheddar's where they'll be served by Cheddar

00:08:51.210 --> 00:08:52.679
employees that's just

00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:55.899
general use plaza. Yes that's just public space provided

00:08:55.899 --> 00:08:56.519
outside the

00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:00.450
buildings. Thank you. Commissioner Smith. Thank you

00:09:00.450 --> 00:09:02.720
Commissioner. The going back to

00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:06.480
the screening on 35 is there a height they've got it or do

00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:06.840
we have this our

00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:12.429
height and the overlaid on that is it tall short short shr

00:09:12.429 --> 00:09:13.360
ub big shrub?

00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.529
You'd like the woodlands or is it gonna be like driving

00:09:16.529 --> 00:09:17.620
down 35 there's a bush

00:09:17.620 --> 00:09:20.000
in front of Kroger that kind of thing. So they're providing

00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.360
I believe they're a minimum of three feet tall at

00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:25.179
planting for the shrubs and these are considered large

00:09:25.179 --> 00:09:26.240
trees by the code so

00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.279
they'll be smaller at planting but are large tree species.

00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:31.279
Okay thank you.

00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:37.080
Haley on those I think there were seven big live oaks are

00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:38.559
we requiring them to

00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.330
those in front of their business is that a requirement are

00:09:41.330 --> 00:09:42.480
they choosing to put

00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.929
them there? When they have frontage on a public street they

00:09:45.929 --> 00:09:46.480
're required to

00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.799
provide screening for the parking lot and part of that is

00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:50.960
one large tree for

00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:53.850
every so many feet of frontage. The placement of those

00:09:53.850 --> 00:09:54.840
doesn't have to be

00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:57.929
you know one for every 45 feet it they just have to be

00:09:57.929 --> 00:09:59.000
there so in this case

00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:01.769
they kind of cluster them in two areas to provide some

00:10:01.769 --> 00:10:02.639
openings in between.

00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:06.779
Well that's where I was going my question is if it's gonna

00:10:06.779 --> 00:10:07.600
screen their

00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:10.830
signage and we're gonna be back here somewhere down the

00:10:10.830 --> 00:10:12.600
road that can't see

00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:17.480
our store from 35 and can remove the tree so but this

00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:18.200
required to go in the

00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:21.070
frontage. Yes they do have to screen the parking lot along

00:10:21.070 --> 00:10:21.960
the frontage. Can't go on the side or

00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:26.000
something like that. No sir and well the sign overlay we'll

00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:26.639
discuss a little bit

00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:28.779
more later but Razor Ranch does have its standard sign

00:10:28.779 --> 00:10:29.679
placement along the

00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:31.809
frontage for monument signs and then each building will

00:10:31.809 --> 00:10:32.879
have its own signs.

00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:36.879
And then final question obviously this looks like it's set

00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:38.720
way back off of the

00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.759
service road I assume that's for textile right of way for

00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:44.720
down the road? Yes yeah

00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:47.610
that has required its ultimate right of way there I believe

00:10:47.610 --> 00:10:48.519
. Okay do we have an

00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:52.750
idea how far back that's gonna be approximately? I don't

00:10:52.750 --> 00:10:54.000
know off the top

00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:58.720
of my head. Jim are you I'm sure we could look at the plans

00:10:58.720 --> 00:10:59.519
and find that number

00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:01.049
but I'm not sure if the top of my head. Between now and

00:11:01.049 --> 00:11:03.519
when we get in there just curious if it's 75 or 100

00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:06.960
feet off of the road. Okay. Commissioner Smith. Thank you

00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.000
chair. Is there in the in the

00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:12.230
Razor Ranch overlay is there certain shrubs trees or

00:11:12.230 --> 00:11:13.320
anything that's outlined

00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:17.460
as specific use so there's a uniform usage of landscape

00:11:17.460 --> 00:11:18.600
across all? Yes sir.

00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:26.559
Thank you. All right so here's the building elevations that

00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:27.120
were provided

00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:29.889
for the west and north side of the building so you can see

00:11:29.889 --> 00:11:30.559
here that the

00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:34.629
sign that they will have facing the frontage road there and

00:11:34.629 --> 00:11:35.360
all of the

00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:38.450
materials are standard throughout the overlay as well there

00:11:38.450 --> 00:11:39.320
's certain permitted

00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.250
materials a certain color palette that has to be adhered to

00:11:43.250 --> 00:11:44.360
and then we have

00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:47.429
the east and south side of the building so this east side

00:11:47.429 --> 00:11:48.360
what's is what will

00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:50.870
be facing internal to the development along that road there

00:11:50.870 --> 00:11:51.480
so you can see

00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:55.889
they have another sign on that side of the building. There

00:11:55.889 --> 00:11:57.200
are criteria for

00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:00.669
approval outlined in the overlay district. It states that

00:12:00.669 --> 00:12:02.080
the P&Z shall approve a

00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:05.120
site plan if it substantially complies with the concept and

00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:05.879
schematic plan

00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.269
approved by City Council for the entire overlay. The site

00:12:09.269 --> 00:12:10.600
plan has to provide for

00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:13.169
a compatible arrangement of buildings and land uses that

00:12:13.169 --> 00:12:14.039
will not adversely

00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:16.809
affect adjoining neighborhoods or properties in this case

00:12:16.809 --> 00:12:17.240
all of the

00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:20.039
adjoining property is either I-35 or more of the Razor

00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:21.279
Ranch overlay district

00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.049
there's no neighborhoods in this immediate area.

00:12:24.049 --> 00:12:26.600
Commissioner Sullivan.

00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:32.240
Thank you chair. I'm just thinking the setback I'm going

00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:33.000
back to the setback.

00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:38.480
The 75 feet or 100 feet whatever is that to allow the

00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:39.600
traffic on the frontage

00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:42.919
road that we have now they're going to expand that frontage

00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:45.720
road because every

00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:50.399
time I go to that part of town I put on my GPS it's always

00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:53.120
red. So I'm just

00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:57.399
concerned that is there any plan so that there are like

00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:59.200
right turn only off of

00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:03.639
the service road into Razor Ranch you know just in general

00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:05.279
just reduce that

00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:11.039
you know the clog that happens in that area or yes sir so

00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:12.279
let's see this one

00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:15.049
probably shows it best so my understanding is this is a

00:13:15.049 --> 00:13:15.879
right in right

00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.919
out here on the service road immediately north of the

00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:21.000
property. Jim would you like

00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:24.799
to address the conditions in future build out in that area

00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:25.639
if you're familiar

00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:31.399
with it? I don't know that Cheddar's in and of itself is

00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:32.919
going to make that much

00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:36.190
difference in the overall traffic pattern but as it starts

00:13:36.190 --> 00:13:37.000
building out

00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:41.799
more and more that existing drive is going to get used more

00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:43.879
and more.

00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:57.320
Yes sir that drive is or let me back up the right of way

00:13:57.320 --> 00:13:59.320
the TexDOT right of way

00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:03.399
that is that setback is associated with that has been

00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.480
acquired already recently

00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:18.559
by TexDOT and there will be a future project involving the

00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:18.879
service the service

00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.809
road it's not imminent I don't know what the timetable is

00:14:22.809 --> 00:14:24.720
on it but that right

00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.820
away is to accommodate that future project. So that's going

00:14:28.820 --> 00:14:29.759
to be within

00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:34.820
where it says limits of construction from that line down to

00:14:34.820 --> 00:14:35.960
where it says

00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:42.409
interstate highway 35 that's the area that TexDOT has to

00:14:42.409 --> 00:14:43.639
expand is that what

00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:47.679
I'm hearing okay okay thank you.

00:14:48.879 --> 00:15:04.059
That answer your question? Yes. Okay no problem. All right

00:15:04.059 --> 00:15:05.000
yeah so the

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:08.049
criteria for approval compliance with the concept and

00:15:08.049 --> 00:15:09.840
schematic plan no adverse

00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:12.759
impact to surrounding neighborhoods or properties the site

00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:13.679
plan provides for

00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:16.450
adequate and safe circulation of vehicular traffic and the

00:15:16.450 --> 00:15:17.159
plan complies

00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:19.950
with all other sections of this overlay district through

00:15:19.950 --> 00:15:20.919
staff analysis we

00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.509
determined that the site plan did meet these criteria and

00:15:24.509 --> 00:15:25.559
with that we are

00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:28.600
recommending of the site plan as it is compliant with all

00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:29.600
of the regulations of

00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:32.370
the Razor Ranch overlay district and meets the criteria for

00:15:32.370 --> 00:15:33.000
approval that are

00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:35.149
outlined in that district and I can answer any other

00:15:35.149 --> 00:15:36.159
questions at this time

00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:41.679
if you have any. Commissioner Smith. Thank you chair. The

00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:43.039
he says the it's

00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:46.779
existing it's an existing entrance already is that what you

00:15:46.779 --> 00:15:47.679
're saying if

00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:50.879
you go back to I was looking at the aerial and what you

00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:52.039
showed there that's

00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:54.909
an existing drive is that that's not currently there and so

00:15:54.909 --> 00:15:55.600
what you said is

00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:57.789
that what you're asking about Steve? Currently under

00:15:57.789 --> 00:15:59.039
construction. Currently under construction. Thank you.

00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:02.450
So will be existing by the time Chatterford is under

00:16:02.450 --> 00:16:08.600
construction. Commissioner Ellis. Thank you chair.

00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:12.419
Haley talk to me about walkability of this site obviously

00:16:12.419 --> 00:16:12.919
we're gonna have a

00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:16.379
lot of development in and around that I know a movie

00:16:16.379 --> 00:16:17.600
theater going in

00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:22.029
apartments going in talk to me about walkability to this

00:16:22.029 --> 00:16:24.039
restaurant. Okay well

00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:27.289
they do have sidewalks built into the site there will be

00:16:27.289 --> 00:16:28.399
sidewalks along the

00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:32.710
internal drives let me see maybe I don't have a map that

00:16:32.710 --> 00:16:34.240
would show that very

00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:37.769
well but there are sidewalks outlined throughout all the

00:16:37.769 --> 00:16:38.519
roads that will

00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:42.549
traverse the razor ranch overlay or the entire razor ranch

00:16:42.549 --> 00:16:44.320
development no

00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:46.360
sidewalks along the frontage road but there will be

00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:47.279
internal sidewalks

00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:50.090
throughout the development and each piece as it comes in is

00:16:50.090 --> 00:16:50.720
required to

00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:53.039
provide connectivity to those larger sidewalks that will be

00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:53.639
in place along

00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:57.960
the streets. Okay so definitely walkable from these these

00:16:57.960 --> 00:16:59.080
other developing areas

00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:06.390
without walking through the parking lot. Yeah. Okay thank

00:17:06.390 --> 00:17:08.640
you. Thank you Haley

00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:13.160
appreciate that. Thank you. And are you gonna present for

00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:14.240
Julie for public

00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:17.799
hearings? Yes. Okay.

00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:32.690
Are we ready for the first item? Yes. Okay. All right. Okay

00:17:32.690 --> 00:17:38.880
so this is case Z 1720

00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:43.039
for the lineman college. The request is to hold a public

00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:44.440
hearing and make a

00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:47.329
recommendation regarding an initial zoning classification

00:17:47.329 --> 00:17:48.039
of Industrial

00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:48.039
Center General it's our ICG district for approximately 14

00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:53.079
acres of property and

00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:53.079
see outlined here in yellow it's located along Dakota and

00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:58.599
Shelby Lane and in

00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:04.029
general this site is located between the I-35 intersection

00:18:04.029 --> 00:18:05.440
or interchange and the

00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:12.019
airport. So a little bit of history on the site a trade

00:18:12.019 --> 00:18:13.279
school was established

00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:17.210
on the site back in early 2010 in that same year the

00:18:17.210 --> 00:18:18.960
subject property was part

00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:23.630
of a citywide annexation program so when it was annexed the

00:18:23.630 --> 00:18:24.480
placeholder

00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:28.700
designation of RD 5x that's our rural district was applied

00:18:28.700 --> 00:18:29.880
to the site to kind

00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:32.299
of serve as its holding zoning district until an initial

00:18:32.299 --> 00:18:33.279
zoning was requested

00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:36.640
for the property. So the purpose of the applicants requests

00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:37.799
before you tonight is

00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:42.369
to facilitate the expansion of their existing campus and to

00:18:42.369 --> 00:18:43.640
bring their

00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:46.690
zoning into compliance or into correspondence with the

00:18:46.690 --> 00:18:47.440
surrounding

00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:52.099
zoning pattern. So looking at what's in the area you can

00:18:52.099 --> 00:18:54.079
see this the current the

00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:57.440
parcel we're looking at tonight is kind of an isolated

00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:00.160
pocket of RD 5x and a sea

00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.289
of industrial zoning surrounding it so surrounding it on

00:19:03.289 --> 00:19:04.559
all sides within 200

00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:08.750
feet we have the ICG district we have some vehicle repair

00:19:08.750 --> 00:19:09.599
uses other

00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:13.710
industrial uses and there are some some gas wells in this

00:19:13.710 --> 00:19:15.920
area as well. If we zoom

00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.690
a little bit further out you'll see there's also some ICE

00:19:18.690 --> 00:19:19.160
so that's

00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:22.740
industrial center employment and currently on this parcel

00:19:22.740 --> 00:19:23.359
there's a

00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:27.750
temporary industrial use established. Looking at the

00:19:27.750 --> 00:19:29.440
broader area you can see

00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:32.279
down here where the star is is the subject property so

00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:33.559
primarily industrial

00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.130
zoning in this this entire side of town. Looking at

00:19:37.130 --> 00:19:38.880
mobility that you can see

00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:42.380
here in black the I-35 corridor there are several arterial

00:19:42.380 --> 00:19:43.519
streets that are in

00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:46.559
the immediate vicinity of the property as well as the local

00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:47.319
streets such as

00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:51.349
Dakota and Shelby that would serve this property. The

00:19:51.349 --> 00:19:53.240
comprehensive plan for this

00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:58.519
area is industrial commerce that's that district is

00:19:58.519 --> 00:19:59.980
intended to be

00:19:59.980 --> 00:20:03.339
predominantly industrial uses manufacturing wholesale

00:20:03.339 --> 00:20:04.200
distribution

00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:07.839
the more intensive larger scale uses which we see in this

00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:08.759
area already.

00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:12.859
Complementary uses could be commercial such as shopping and

00:20:12.859 --> 00:20:13.640
child care in

00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:16.410
appropriate places to provide transitions between the

00:20:16.410 --> 00:20:16.799
industrial

00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:21.960
zoning and other districts in the area. Commissioner Beck.

00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:22.839
Thank you chair. Well

00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:27.200
we got this map up. Metro which hits the 35 service road it

00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:27.839
didn't come all the

00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:31.769
way through yet are there plans to connect Metro because it

00:20:31.769 --> 00:20:32.599
appears the

00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:38.279
only way to get to this side is to come in from Airport

00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:41.640
Road. Yeah. Yeah I am not

00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:46.470
familiar with any plans to connect at Metro. Jim might be

00:20:46.470 --> 00:20:47.920
looks like he's

00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:52.480
looking at his map. Okay yeah I know at this point I don't

00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:53.240
believe it connects

00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:56.519
Corbin Road to the south also no longer connects so the

00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:57.759
primary point of access

00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:00.839
is Airport Road. All right yeah looks like there are no

00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:01.599
immediate plans for

00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:08.059
Metro according to Jim. Okay thanks. So the requested ICG

00:21:08.059 --> 00:21:09.000
district is directly

00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:13.170
compatible with the industrial commerce future land use

00:21:13.170 --> 00:21:16.359
designation. So in you

00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:18.420
know just to summarize what we've looked at here the ICG

00:21:18.420 --> 00:21:19.200
district would be a

00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:22.069
logical extension of the existing zoning pattern there's IC

00:21:22.069 --> 00:21:22.960
G on all sides of the

00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:26.950
property and it would ensure that this property as it

00:21:26.950 --> 00:21:28.160
expands and continues to

00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:32.819
develop develops in a compatible form with those existing

00:21:32.819 --> 00:21:33.680
land uses.

00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.430
Notification was sent at time of this meeting we hadn't

00:21:37.430 --> 00:21:38.960
received any responses

00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:42.690
to that notification and staff is recommending approval

00:21:42.690 --> 00:21:43.680
because of the

00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:46.089
compatibility of this request with the surrounding land

00:21:46.089 --> 00:21:47.200
uses surrounding zoning

00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:51.279
pattern and compatibility with the Denton Plan 2030 and can

00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:51.980
answer any

00:21:51.980 --> 00:21:55.240
questions. Commissioner Sullivan. My understanding is that

00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:56.319
this land was annexed

00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:00.880
and at the time of annexation that's what the code we just

00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:03.039
arbitrarily set at

00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:06.240
is that correct is that way I understand it? Yes yeah RD 5X

00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:07.119
is just kind of a

00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:09.890
placeholder designation that's applied to any newly annexed

00:22:09.890 --> 00:22:10.359
property. So there

00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:14.769
wasn't any rhyme or reason for that designation other than

00:22:14.769 --> 00:22:15.799
if you sort of

00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:18.680
what looked good at the time? It's what's applied to any

00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:19.880
newly annexed property

00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:23.210
until the owner of it decides what zoning designation they

00:22:23.210 --> 00:22:24.039
would wish to

00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:29.529
apply for on their property. Thank you. Commissioner Back.

00:22:29.529 --> 00:22:30.640
Thank you chair. If you

00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:36.200
could go back to the Google aerial image. What's yeah what

00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:37.960
is that that's on there

00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:41.509
what's gonna happen to it once if we approve this zone

00:22:41.509 --> 00:22:43.160
change? This existing

00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:47.279
use? Yes. This is a trade school it's the Lineman College

00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:48.799
so. Oh I thought the

00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:51.839
Lineman College was just north of there and this this was

00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:52.799
the area that they

00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:55.890
were gonna build on. No sir this is currently all owned by

00:22:55.890 --> 00:22:56.440
the Lineman

00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:01.000
College they're seeking to expand the campus. Okay thanks.

00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:03.000
Commissioner Sanchez.

00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:10.559
As far as the road airport road if they expand that are

00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:11.759
they talking about how

00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:15.519
many students they might be utilizing what the population

00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:17.720
might be? I'm not

00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:20.490
familiar with any what their exact model is for how many

00:23:20.490 --> 00:23:21.480
students they would be

00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:24.400
able to hold. I know the expansions they're looking at

00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:24.839
right now are

00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:26.839
intended to come in several phases I think right now they

00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:27.599
're just wanting to

00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:31.740
add a single classroom to the site but the use is currently

00:23:31.740 --> 00:23:32.640
considered

00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:36.180
non-conforming so to expand the existing use their options

00:23:36.180 --> 00:23:37.200
would be to either go

00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:41.130
to ZBA or to choose to rezone their property to a zoning

00:23:41.130 --> 00:23:42.240
designation that

00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:46.839
would permit the use that they're wanting to expand. But I

00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:47.599
'm not familiar

00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:50.349
with the number of students enrolled. I was gonna ask how

00:23:50.349 --> 00:23:51.279
many students are enrolled.

00:23:51.279 --> 00:24:00.720
Any other questions for Haley on this item? Thank you Haley

00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:01.720
and I guess you'll

00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:06.440
go on to item B for us. Yes sir.

00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:14.599
Okay so as I alluded to earlier this zoning case is also

00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:16.960
associated with

00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:19.900
Razor Ranch so I've built in a little more background about

00:24:19.900 --> 00:24:20.799
the overlay into

00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:25.640
this presentation. So this request is to hold public

00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:27.720
hearing and consider a

00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:30.769
request to amend several exhibits of the overlay so

00:24:30.769 --> 00:24:32.480
exhibits B1 and B4 the

00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:35.940
concept plan and the zoning map and also amendments to

00:24:35.940 --> 00:24:37.480
exhibit E1 which are the

00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:42.069
sign standards for the overlay. These changes the changes

00:24:42.069 --> 00:24:43.640
in B1 and B4 would

00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:48.400
apply to approximately 12.17 acres and the intent there is

00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:49.079
to change from the

00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:53.630
south mixed-use district to the south RR2 district and then

00:24:53.630 --> 00:24:55.039
that area plus an

00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:59.220
additional 10 acres so 22 acres roughly are seeking to be

00:24:59.220 --> 00:25:00.359
incorporated into

00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:07.640
what's known as sign area 2. So in total Razor Ranch is 410

00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:09.119
acres located on both

00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:14.359
sides of US 380 between Bonnie Bray and I-35. The overlay

00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:15.880
was first approved in

00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:20.359
2007. There are several major components to the overlay

00:25:20.359 --> 00:25:22.119
district. Those

00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:26.289
primary concerns being zoning restrictions so for each sub

00:25:26.289 --> 00:25:26.920
area of the

00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:29.960
overlay there are permitted uses and restrictions assigned

00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:30.839
to that district.

00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:33.730
That's all outlined on the zoning map that we'll look at in

00:25:33.730 --> 00:25:35.240
a minute. There's

00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:38.009
also site design criteria as we saw earlier for

00:25:38.009 --> 00:25:39.200
architecture landscaping and

00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:43.039
signage and one of the other unique features as we saw

00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:44.359
before is that it

00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:46.529
does include a site plan process that requires those site

00:25:46.529 --> 00:25:47.720
plans come before P&Z

00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:53.680
for approval. And just so you know these are the two parc

00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:54.400
els that we're looking

00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:58.670
at here so this piece where the cursor is now is the 12.17

00:25:58.670 --> 00:25:59.319
acres where the

00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:03.319
zoning change would apply to and then the entirety outlined

00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:04.539
in red are the 22

00:26:04.539 --> 00:26:09.910
acres that the sign district change corresponds with. So a

00:26:09.910 --> 00:26:11.359
little bit of

00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:14.130
background there are two major areas to the Razor Ranch

00:26:14.130 --> 00:26:15.240
overlay. The north side

00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:18.009
is known as the marketplace. I'm sure you're familiar with

00:26:18.009 --> 00:26:18.559
that where Walmart

00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:21.599
and Sam's are. It's primarily built out and then on the

00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:23.240
south side of 380 we have

00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:26.640
what's generally called the south campus of Razor Ranch.

00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:28.200
Within the marketplace

00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:31.140
there are three different zoning designations. We have the

00:26:31.140 --> 00:26:32.119
RR2 sub area,

00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:35.839
the RR3 area, and then on the north side there is a

00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:37.440
residential area that

00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:40.849
doesn't yet have standards developed for it but at some

00:26:40.849 --> 00:26:41.720
point will be

00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:47.640
residential uses. On the south side there are many sub area

00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:48.359
sub districts that

00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:51.880
apply here. We have the RR1 district which is where that's

00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:52.680
the town center

00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:55.480
where the convention center and several other uses will be.

00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:56.839
We have the south

00:26:56.839 --> 00:27:01.119
RR2 area that's primarily along this perimeter along 380

00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:03.559
and 35. There's the

00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:06.849
south mixed-use district that applies kind of to the entire

00:27:06.849 --> 00:27:07.720
rest of the south

00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:11.480
side and then there are several other smaller pieces. We

00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:14.039
have a substation for

00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:16.809
DME up here along Bonnie Bray. There is a drill pad

00:27:16.809 --> 00:27:18.319
existing along Bonnie Bray as

00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:22.369
well and then Cook Children's has a piece of the land here

00:27:22.369 --> 00:27:23.119
that they already

00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:27.289
have an existing facility on and may someday expand. So

00:27:27.289 --> 00:27:28.680
just to run through

00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:31.150
this kind of quickly in the marketplace there are three

00:27:31.150 --> 00:27:32.119
exhibits in the overlay

00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:35.039
that assign architectural landscaping and sign standards

00:27:35.039 --> 00:27:36.119
for that area. As I

00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:38.519
mentioned the residential components aren't designed yet

00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:39.240
but once that's

00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:42.109
ready to be developed they will come back with a request

00:27:42.109 --> 00:27:43.440
for those standards.

00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:50.089
On the south side we have exhibits C1, D1, and E1 that

00:27:50.089 --> 00:27:51.519
control the

00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:54.839
architecture landscaping and sign standards for the town

00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:55.720
center and the

00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:59.019
south RR2 area and those were the standards that we saw

00:27:59.019 --> 00:27:59.559
applied to

00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:03.680
Chetters earlier. For the south mixed-use district the

00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:04.640
standards are not yet

00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:07.769
approved. Once this portion of the campus is ready to

00:28:07.769 --> 00:28:09.279
develop those standards will

00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:13.079
be developed for each of the uses within the south mixed-

00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:14.920
use area and those kind

00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:20.349
of have placeholders in the overlay as exhibits C2, D2, and

00:28:20.349 --> 00:28:24.400
E2. So the first part

00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:28.450
of the request is a change to exhibit B1. As you can see

00:28:28.450 --> 00:28:29.839
here the change would

00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:32.950
apply to this 12 acres of property on the south side of the

00:28:32.950 --> 00:28:35.000
town center and we

00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:38.359
would be changing it from south mixed-use to south RR2

00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:39.720
district which is

00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:44.319
what is currently existing along all of 35 and highway 380.

00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:45.880
The second part of

00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:49.450
the request is to amend exhibit B4 in a similar manner just

00:28:49.450 --> 00:28:50.140
to expand the

00:28:50.140 --> 00:28:54.799
boundaries of the south RR2 district to incorporate this 12

00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:56.720
acres. To give you a

00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:59.900
bit of a comparison between these districts they're very

00:28:59.900 --> 00:29:00.839
similar in terms

00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:03.170
of the general regulations that are applied to them in

00:29:03.170 --> 00:29:04.119
terms of lot coverage

00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:09.240
landscape area all of those things maximum building height

00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:10.799
does it is

00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:13.569
fairly similar between them as well the primary difference

00:29:13.569 --> 00:29:14.400
between the two is

00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:17.500
the residential uses that are permitted in the mixed-use

00:29:17.500 --> 00:29:19.119
district. Commissioner

00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:23.630
Beck. Thank you Chair. Which raises the question why is

00:29:23.630 --> 00:29:25.240
there even a zone change

00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:29.019
request here because both areas will allow with this

00:29:29.019 --> 00:29:30.640
applicant seeking which

00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:35.720
is an indoor recreational. Yes sir. So is it a fair time to

00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:36.640
ask that question now?

00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:39.799
Yes sir and I will address that in just a moment but we can

00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:39.960
certainly

00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:44.089
address it now. This table here kind of explains why they

00:29:44.089 --> 00:29:45.000
're making this request.

00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:47.150
The south mixed-use district currently does not have

00:29:47.150 --> 00:29:49.099
standards developed so

00:29:49.099 --> 00:29:51.869
a site plan for that property couldn't be accepted and

00:29:51.869 --> 00:29:52.680
approved because there

00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:56.420
are no standards by which to review it. So their options

00:29:56.420 --> 00:29:57.880
were to develop these

00:29:57.880 --> 00:29:59.819
standards which they may not be ready to do because it

00:29:59.819 --> 00:30:00.619
would apply to a much

00:30:00.619 --> 00:30:04.210
larger area that they don't have specific plans for yet or

00:30:04.210 --> 00:30:05.039
to rezone it

00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:09.369
to a district that already has established standards. How

00:30:09.369 --> 00:30:10.960
far off are we

00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:13.730
from getting these standards for the south mixed-use? Is

00:30:13.730 --> 00:30:14.539
that something so

00:30:14.539 --> 00:30:21.079
far down the road that under the existing code? I don't

00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:21.839
know their specific

00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:24.609
timeline for that. A piece of it's already been done if you

00:30:24.609 --> 00:30:25.079
remember last

00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:27.920
year there was a multifamily proposal that came in so they

00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:28.440
developed the

00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:31.579
multifamily standards for the south mixed-use area but they

00:30:31.579 --> 00:30:31.960
're they're not

00:30:31.960 --> 00:30:33.950
quite ready for the commercial standards and the single-

00:30:33.950 --> 00:30:35.180
family standards and all

00:30:35.180 --> 00:30:38.400
of those pieces yet. I'm not sure of the exact timeline on

00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:41.480
that. Okay thanks.

00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:44.650
So just to give you an example here's some approved

00:30:44.650 --> 00:30:46.579
building elevations that

00:30:46.579 --> 00:30:49.619
exist in the RR2 area to kind of show you what the design

00:30:49.619 --> 00:30:51.240
criteria generate

00:30:51.240 --> 00:30:54.609
in this area. So you know restaurants we have rooms to go

00:30:54.609 --> 00:30:55.799
which is currently

00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:58.119
under construction which I believe you saw last year as

00:30:58.119 --> 00:30:59.200
well as the Alamo Draft

00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:04.259
House. So we'd be looking at something similar on this

00:31:04.259 --> 00:31:07.319
property in question. So

00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:11.069
as I've kind of mentioned before the two major differences

00:31:11.069 --> 00:31:12.200
if this request is

00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:14.970
approved would be the removal of residential uses from this

00:31:14.970 --> 00:31:15.279
property and

00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:19.720
this change in design standards. Residential property is

00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:20.640
not ideal in

00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:24.150
this area given the proximity to 35 and the various

00:31:24.150 --> 00:31:26.119
compatible commercial uses

00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:29.970
that have been developed in the area and design standards

00:31:29.970 --> 00:31:30.920
have yet to be

00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:33.069
developed for this but they're not likely to be very

00:31:33.069 --> 00:31:34.039
different between the

00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:36.809
south mixed use and the RR2 area in terms of commercial

00:31:36.809 --> 00:31:37.799
development. We

00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:42.529
expect that those will be relatively similar. Moving on

00:31:42.529 --> 00:31:44.920
then to the the

00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:47.690
second major component of the request but the third

00:31:47.690 --> 00:31:48.619
individual exhibit that

00:31:48.619 --> 00:31:54.279
will change. Exhibit E1 of the overlay controls the sign

00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:55.119
standards for the

00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:57.990
property. There are two appendices to that that map out

00:31:57.990 --> 00:31:59.200
where the various sign

00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:04.009
areas are to determine what standards apply. Because this

00:32:04.009 --> 00:32:05.359
parcel that we just

00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:07.809
looked at for the rezoning as well as the adjoining parcel

00:32:07.809 --> 00:32:08.619
where rooms to go

00:32:08.619 --> 00:32:12.119
is under construction those were both previously part of

00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:12.880
the south mixed use

00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:15.920
district or one of them still is that the request is before

00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:17.240
you tonight but

00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:20.079
because the south mixed use district standards are not yet

00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:22.579
developed they haven't been assigned sign standards or to a

00:32:22.579 --> 00:32:24.000
sign area. So this

00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:27.339
is more of a housekeeping request to extend the existing

00:32:27.339 --> 00:32:29.039
sign area to and the

00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:32.089
standards that apply to it further south to include the

00:32:32.089 --> 00:32:33.599
remainder of the RR2

00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:40.049
district. So appendix. Commissioner Sullivan. What weight

00:32:40.049 --> 00:32:41.039
was given in

00:32:41.039 --> 00:32:47.539
originally back whenever as to how much residential use was

00:32:47.539 --> 00:32:48.960
going to be you know

00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:54.259
available in this area. I mean is was there a you know a

00:32:54.259 --> 00:32:55.359
large weight given to

00:32:55.359 --> 00:32:59.079
the fact that this was going to be residential and

00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:00.599
commercial and you know

00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:05.049
kind of a mixed use sort of a thing and was there a certain

00:33:05.049 --> 00:33:06.559
requirement for a

00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:10.150
certain number of residences to be available here to begin

00:33:10.150 --> 00:33:11.119
with and how does

00:33:11.119 --> 00:33:16.559
this affect any of that? Okay. Yes sir let me back up for a

00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:17.400
moment get to a map

00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:22.799
that will show. Okay so if you look at the entire overlay

00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:24.720
the primary locations

00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:28.079
for residential are going to be in the south mixed use area

00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:29.319
. So we have the codes

00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:31.779
on the map you multi-family single-family are designated

00:33:31.779 --> 00:33:33.079
for specific areas within

00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:37.150
the development and the parcel that we're looking at here

00:33:37.150 --> 00:33:38.279
as well as some of

00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:41.430
the adjoining properties to the east along Heritage Trail

00:33:41.430 --> 00:33:42.119
do allow for

00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:44.890
multi-family development at this point in time. There's an

00:33:44.890 --> 00:33:45.759
approved site plan for

00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:50.240
multi-family if I could get the cursor to show up here for

00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:52.079
this piece of

00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:56.539
property but there are maximums as to the amount of

00:33:56.539 --> 00:33:58.240
residential development of

00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:01.460
each type that can be in the overlay as a whole but in

00:34:01.460 --> 00:34:03.079
general and planning it

00:34:03.079 --> 00:34:05.910
this side was intended to be the town center the walkable

00:34:05.910 --> 00:34:07.640
commercial area with

00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:10.409
a mixture of entertainment restaurants and various things

00:34:10.409 --> 00:34:11.159
and then the east

00:34:11.159 --> 00:34:13.960
side is intended to be more residential. But there wasn't a

00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:15.679
residential minimum

00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:18.789
there may have been a residential maximum it was there a

00:34:18.789 --> 00:34:20.559
minimum because I see

00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:24.500
where after you know the changes you still have multi-f you

00:34:24.500 --> 00:34:25.800
know hotel

00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:31.960
multi-family south of the area next to Cook's and so that's

00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:32.800
still going to be

00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:39.670
there and one of the reasons was the proximity to I-35.

00:34:39.670 --> 00:34:40.760
Well what's south where

00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:47.119
it says Hotel RRMF that's a lot closer to 35 than this plot

00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:47.760
that we're looking

00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:51.929
at and so I'm just wondering by changing that from

00:34:51.929 --> 00:34:55.840
residents to commercial what

00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:59.769
change that is making to the overall agreement or

00:34:59.769 --> 00:35:01.760
conditions that were set

00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:04.849
forth in the very beginning of this project because I know

00:35:04.849 --> 00:35:05.760
that's changed

00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:11.639
several times over the last few years. So I said there are

00:35:11.639 --> 00:35:12.760
maximums established

00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:16.840
I'm not aware of any minimums for residential components

00:35:16.840 --> 00:35:17.880
but overall you

00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:20.699
know the only change between the South RR2 and South mixed

00:35:20.699 --> 00:35:21.480
use is the lack of

00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:24.679
residential. It already permits all of the commercial uses

00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:25.239
that would be

00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:29.320
permitted so really we're just losing the opportunity to

00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:30.119
put multi-family on

00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:33.349
this site which has multiple other spaces within the

00:35:33.349 --> 00:35:34.440
overlay that multi-

00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:38.199
family can be accommodated. Okay. And just to address your

00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:39.059
concerns that the

00:35:39.059 --> 00:35:42.570
southern pieces here I believe the intent for those pieces

00:35:42.570 --> 00:35:43.280
is similar

00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:45.510
medical uses that would be compatible with what's already

00:35:45.510 --> 00:35:46.559
there so that South

00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:49.789
mixed use allowing office and medical uses will accomplish

00:35:49.789 --> 00:35:50.760
that goal. I just

00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:54.690
want to make sure we weren't taking away residential

00:35:54.690 --> 00:35:56.840
possibilities that were in

00:35:56.840 --> 00:36:00.070
the original agreement that then they're going to be able

00:36:00.070 --> 00:36:01.079
to say hey y'all did it.

00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:05.199
Certainly. Okay thank you. Commissioner Beck. Thank you

00:36:05.199 --> 00:36:05.519
Chair.

00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:08.559
Again just so I'm clear here when you go over to that

00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:09.719
section over there where

00:36:09.719 --> 00:36:13.369
it's mainly residential we have site standards for that

00:36:13.369 --> 00:36:14.800
right but in an area

00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:18.550
where we have a combination of residential and commercial

00:36:18.550 --> 00:36:19.039
we don't

00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:23.880
have site standards? Yes so for the entire South mixed use

00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:25.880
area speaking

00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:28.650
generally there are not established standards at this point

00:36:28.650 --> 00:36:29.199
. For the

00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:32.519
like multi-family apartments there's not site standards?

00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:33.599
For multi-family they they

00:36:33.599 --> 00:36:36.019
develop the standards specific to multi-family but then the

00:36:36.019 --> 00:36:36.559
future they

00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:39.349
will need to establish commercial standards single-family

00:36:39.349 --> 00:36:39.980
residential

00:36:39.980 --> 00:36:47.440
standards for the various uses that would go there. Okay.

00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:50.719
Commissioner Sanchez. Would you say is that because

00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:53.400
probably up along they've

00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:56.929
established the commercial standards because they've

00:36:56.929 --> 00:36:58.440
already been building up

00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:01.960
all in along 380 would make sense you haven't seen a lot of

00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:03.000
residential I

00:37:03.000 --> 00:37:06.039
haven't seen any residential in that area but I do see a

00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:07.559
lot of commercial so

00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:11.099
that's that's probably why they you know taking one step at

00:37:11.099 --> 00:37:12.079
a time mm-hmm they

00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:14.849
decide you know where do we start first where to take our

00:37:14.849 --> 00:37:15.960
first bite so that's

00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:20.119
that that makes sense what they what they're doing. Yes sir

00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:20.639
and there is a

00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:22.590
requirement the overlay that a certain amount of commercial

00:37:22.590 --> 00:37:23.199
had to be in place

00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:26.449
before the residential could be developed so it's all kind

00:37:26.449 --> 00:37:26.800
of fall

00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:30.730
falling in line there. Yeah. Commissioner Smith. Thank You

00:37:30.730 --> 00:37:31.800
Chair. In regards to

00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:36.039
mobility plan does removing the residential usage on this

00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:38.039
land and only

00:37:38.039 --> 00:37:41.079
allowing it to be commercial uses is there any changes

00:37:41.079 --> 00:37:42.239
whatsoever we're gonna

00:37:42.239 --> 00:37:45.539
see like if we if it had been left open for residential and

00:37:45.539 --> 00:37:46.440
had been developed

00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:50.000
in multifamily with the use the mobility usage on that road

00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:51.119
that adjacent to that

00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:54.880
property would it be less impact versus if it was

00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:55.920
commercial uses like what's

00:37:55.920 --> 00:37:59.429
proposed here does that question make sense? It does. I don

00:37:59.429 --> 00:38:00.559
't know that we saw

00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:03.969
any trip generations for that comparison specifically I

00:38:03.969 --> 00:38:05.199
will say with it being 12

00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:07.289
acres it's not likely there was a whole lot of density that

00:38:07.289 --> 00:38:07.960
could have been

00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:10.440
there for multifamily. I'm just thinking in regards to the

00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:10.920
letter that was

00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:14.420
written in just if they're silly complaint they really made

00:38:14.420 --> 00:38:15.119
but just if

00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:17.989
there is on the mobility plan if we saw there's a huge

00:38:17.989 --> 00:38:19.119
spike of traffic now

00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:21.980
because commercial usage instead of if there had been a

00:38:21.980 --> 00:38:23.159
multifamily development

00:38:23.159 --> 00:38:25.920
later on down the road. I don't believe that was a concern

00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:26.320
because in general

00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:29.760
the mobility for razor it the roads are being built as the

00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:30.360
development

00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:34.400
progresses so heritage trail will be an arterial multi-lane

00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:35.559
road panhandle will

00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:38.750
be extended all the way across as this development comes in

00:38:38.750 --> 00:38:39.679
so there will be

00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:45.480
ample access to the site. So yeah panhandle I'm sorry.

00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:49.880
Commissioner Sanchez. Yeah panhandle is nonexistent and

00:38:49.880 --> 00:38:50.760
from what I was

00:38:50.760 --> 00:38:53.530
reading they're gonna make that a four lane is that is that

00:38:53.530 --> 00:38:54.360
what they're

00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:59.280
looking at? It's currently under design. Uh-huh. It's going

00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:01.400
to be a collector street.

00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:06.869
As far as I don't believe it's four lanes I don't remember

00:39:06.869 --> 00:39:08.280
we've just started

00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:11.550
looking at the at the first some metal is on the plans for

00:39:11.550 --> 00:39:12.280
it but it is

00:39:12.280 --> 00:39:15.679
designated as a collector. Okay I thought I read that

00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:16.800
somewhere. The part of it

00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:20.639
right by the highways under construction and we're starting

00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:21.039
to look at the

00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:24.679
plans taking out to heritage and then to the east and then

00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:26.360
continuing heritage up

00:39:26.360 --> 00:39:30.880
to the point where it's currently under construction now.

00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:39.159
And you're not crazy I think I did type that it was a four-

00:39:39.159 --> 00:39:41.559
line so I think it

00:39:41.559 --> 00:39:44.599
might actually be a three-lane from what I'm remembering

00:39:44.599 --> 00:39:45.679
but like Jim said those

00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:50.090
plans are under review so it will be designed to collector

00:39:50.090 --> 00:39:53.679
standards. So the

00:39:53.679 --> 00:39:57.480
second part of the sign exhibit that needs to be amended is

00:39:57.480 --> 00:39:58.639
appendix two and

00:39:58.639 --> 00:40:02.079
this is just another map that outlines the sign areas and

00:40:02.079 --> 00:40:03.280
shows where some of

00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:07.070
the some of the assigned locations are for monument signs

00:40:07.070 --> 00:40:08.000
to go in on the

00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:11.059
property. So again we're just extending sign area two

00:40:11.059 --> 00:40:12.380
further to the south to

00:40:12.380 --> 00:40:17.320
include the rest of the rr2 area if this rezoning is

00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:18.320
approved.

00:40:20.199 --> 00:40:22.969
Notification was sent about this because it is an all-en

00:40:22.969 --> 00:40:24.480
compassing overlay

00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:27.639
district we noticed 200 and 500 feet from the boundaries of

00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:29.360
the entire overlay to

00:40:29.360 --> 00:40:33.010
make sure everyone was aware. We did receive two responses

00:40:33.010 --> 00:40:33.719
those were

00:40:33.719 --> 00:40:37.099
provided to you just before this meeting one was in

00:40:37.099 --> 00:40:39.719
opposition that parcel is a

00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:43.039
single-family residence that's located up here on the north

00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:43.960
side and then we

00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:48.389
received one response in favor from one of the owners

00:40:48.389 --> 00:40:50.079
within the overlay.

00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:56.429
Commissioner back. Thank you chair. I know that residential

00:40:56.429 --> 00:40:57.679
areas don't need a lot

00:40:57.679 --> 00:41:00.449
of signage obviously they're not advertising but when you

00:41:00.449 --> 00:41:01.719
've got apartments that will

00:41:01.719 --> 00:41:06.079
need to designate themselves I didn't see that that area

00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:07.800
had been set aside for

00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:12.639
signage standards so what's gonna work over there? I would

00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:13.880
have to go I can read

00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:15.929
the standards that were developed for but I believe they

00:41:15.929 --> 00:41:16.719
addressed all of that

00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:19.489
within the rezoning they did last year for the multifamily

00:41:19.489 --> 00:41:21.079
component. Okay okay

00:41:21.079 --> 00:41:24.420
and there was one thing that was a little confusing to me

00:41:24.420 --> 00:41:26.159
on heights of signs on

00:41:26.159 --> 00:41:30.539
the along the service road of I-35 where there was it

00:41:30.539 --> 00:41:32.480
pointed out one time there

00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:37.250
was a maximum of 75 feet like that was on page 9 of that

00:41:37.250 --> 00:41:38.960
criteria and then the

00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:44.719
very next page it says primary pylon signs have allowable

00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:45.800
height of 40 feet

00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:50.679
so why the difference? I would have to pull that language I

00:41:50.679 --> 00:41:51.920
don't have it up

00:41:51.920 --> 00:42:00.150
here in front of me but I can I can look into that and okay

00:42:00.150 --> 00:42:00.199
all right

00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:04.769
all right so in summary we are recommending approval of

00:42:04.769 --> 00:42:05.840
both aspects of

00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:08.940
the request both the rezoning of the 12 acres and the sign

00:42:08.940 --> 00:42:09.880
standards being

00:42:09.880 --> 00:42:13.320
applied to the entire 22 acres because the request is

00:42:13.320 --> 00:42:14.639
compatible with the

00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:17.460
existing development pattern and it is consistent with the

00:42:17.460 --> 00:42:18.760
Denton plan 2030

00:42:18.760 --> 00:42:21.800
that designates this entire area as a regional center for

00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:22.559
shopping and

00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:27.780
entertainment so can answer any other questions if you have

00:42:27.780 --> 00:42:28.320
them.

00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:36.179
Okay thank you. Mr. Sanchez. I was curious okay you had the

00:42:36.179 --> 00:42:37.280
vegetation when you

00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:39.429
were showing us one of the when we saw the one of the Ch

00:42:39.429 --> 00:42:40.280
eddar's and we're

00:42:40.280 --> 00:42:47.440
talking about vegetation along the I-35? Yes sir. Okay and

00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:48.519
so the signage is

00:42:48.519 --> 00:42:52.019
going to be right on the frontage road right? Is that

00:42:52.019 --> 00:42:53.480
because I know there's a

00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:57.420
concern what about being able to signage? Yes. So that was

00:42:57.420 --> 00:42:59.440
my concern. Yes this exhibit

00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:03.000
shows the so some of the changes that were made here with

00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:03.860
you know the

00:43:03.860 --> 00:43:06.630
placement of the signs once some of these parcels developed

00:43:06.630 --> 00:43:07.239
they determined

00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:10.010
the exact locations they wanted the signs and so they're

00:43:10.010 --> 00:43:10.679
taking off some of

00:43:10.679 --> 00:43:14.909
the pieces that are no longer necessary but each of these

00:43:14.909 --> 00:43:16.239
will be an established

00:43:16.239 --> 00:43:20.360
sign location that advertising for the entire area so each

00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:22.000
tenant will have an

00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:24.769
opportunity for signage there on one of the multi-tenant

00:43:24.769 --> 00:43:25.679
signs or monument

00:43:25.679 --> 00:43:31.019
signs as well as on their own building. These are just the

00:43:31.019 --> 00:43:32.440
locations of some of

00:43:32.440 --> 00:43:40.349
the predetermined signs that they would be putting in. Any

00:43:40.349 --> 00:43:43.760
other questions for

00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:50.340
Haley on this item? Okay it looks like our next item C is

00:43:50.340 --> 00:43:51.599
being postponed but

00:43:51.599 --> 00:43:57.800
we need to open this item again ask for a motion okay and

00:43:57.800 --> 00:43:59.400
then continue it.

00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:08.880
Date certain 25th. Okay all right. Seeing no one else and

00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:09.480
getting through our

00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:16.070
agenda I will close our work session at 548 and we will

00:44:16.070 --> 00:44:17.800
reconvene in council

00:44:17.800 --> 00:44:22.119

, thank you.

00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:39.880

call on Haley

00:47:42.199 --> 00:47:45.119

00:47:59.159 --> 00:48:03.409
Good evening so this is item SP 1740 it's a site plan for

00:48:03.409 --> 00:48:04.320
Cheddar's at

00:48:04.320 --> 00:48:08.769
Razor Ranch. The request is to consider approval of a site

00:48:08.769 --> 00:48:09.960
plan for a Cheddar's

00:48:09.960 --> 00:48:13.000
restaurant to be constructed within the Razor Ranch South R

00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:14.599
R2 district to be

00:48:14.599 --> 00:48:18.090
located on lot 25 block A of the Razor Ranch town center

00:48:18.090 --> 00:48:20.460
addition. The location

00:48:20.460 --> 00:48:24.239
is outlined here in yellow it's an approximately 1.67 acre

00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:25.559
site it's

00:48:25.559 --> 00:48:28.650
located on the east side of the I-35 service road it's

00:48:28.650 --> 00:48:30.119
about 940 feet south

00:48:30.119 --> 00:48:34.170
of West University Drive. Just to give you an idea of the

00:48:34.170 --> 00:48:36.440
zoning in the area there's

00:48:36.440 --> 00:48:39.219
base zoning applied to Razor Ranch consistent with the

00:48:39.219 --> 00:48:40.360
standard districts

00:48:40.360 --> 00:48:44.320
in the DDC there is an overlay that covers the entire 410

00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:45.159
acres of the

00:48:45.159 --> 00:48:48.909
Razor Ranch district and that is shown in more detail here

00:48:48.909 --> 00:48:50.119
on the right side in

00:48:50.119 --> 00:48:53.550
the zoning map for the overlay so the parcel outlined in

00:48:53.550 --> 00:48:54.679
red is within the

00:48:54.679 --> 00:49:01.429
South RR2 district. Site plans for Razor Ranch properties

00:49:01.429 --> 00:49:02.159
are required to come

00:49:02.159 --> 00:49:06.599
before P&Z for approval and within the South RR2 district

00:49:06.599 --> 00:49:07.400
the site plans are

00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:10.760
subject to the architectural landscaping and elevation

00:49:10.760 --> 00:49:11.639
requirements

00:49:11.639 --> 00:49:15.869
outlined in exhibit C1 and D1 of the overlay. All the site

00:49:15.869 --> 00:49:17.400
plans include a

00:49:17.400 --> 00:49:20.710
site plan, a landscape plan, and building elevations to

00:49:20.710 --> 00:49:23.119
come before you. So looking

00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:27.190
in detail at the site plan you can see here it is going to

00:49:27.190 --> 00:49:29.159
be a 7570

00:49:29.159 --> 00:49:33.280
square foot restaurant it requires a minimum of 75 parking

00:49:33.280 --> 00:49:34.079
spaces they're

00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:38.639
providing 125 on the lot and the access to the site will be

00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:39.920
from the existing

00:49:39.920 --> 00:49:42.139
well they will be existing at the time they're currently

00:49:42.139 --> 00:49:43.000
under construction

00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:46.380
internal drives within the overlay and there were some

00:49:46.380 --> 00:49:47.539
questions at work

00:49:47.539 --> 00:49:53.349
session about signs on the property there will be signs

00:49:53.349 --> 00:49:55.340
located along the

00:49:55.340 --> 00:49:58.110
frontage of the property they're shown here on the site

00:49:58.110 --> 00:49:59.119
plan and one other

00:49:59.119 --> 00:50:02.559
element well I'll point it out when we get to one of the

00:50:02.559 --> 00:50:03.320
later plans there are

00:50:03.320 --> 00:50:07.630
bike racks included at the property as well. So looking at

00:50:07.630 --> 00:50:09.480
the landscape plan

00:50:09.480 --> 00:50:12.719
all the areas in green are the site landscaping overall

00:50:12.719 --> 00:50:13.920
they're providing

00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:19.920
11.4% landscaping 31.8% tree canopy and that is in excess

00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:20.199
of the

00:50:20.199 --> 00:50:25.360
required 10% and 20% of landscaping and tree canopy.

00:50:25.360 --> 00:50:28.079
Looking in more detail at

00:50:28.079 --> 00:50:30.849
the landscaping around the building and the plaza area that

00:50:30.849 --> 00:50:31.679
will be provided

00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:34.920
they'll have just over 1200 square feet of plaza that will

00:50:34.920 --> 00:50:36.599
include benches there

00:50:36.599 --> 00:50:39.059
will be two located here at the front one over to the side

00:50:39.059 --> 00:50:39.840
of the building

00:50:39.840 --> 00:50:43.579
plaza trees will be provided in this outdoor landscaped

00:50:43.579 --> 00:50:44.800
area and they will

00:50:44.800 --> 00:50:47.570
have planters at the front of the building and the other

00:50:47.570 --> 00:50:48.320
feature I wanted

00:50:48.320 --> 00:50:51.360
to point out this block here is not labeled but that is to

00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:52.079
be a bike rack

00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:56.769
at the front of the restaurant. Question for you on that H

00:50:56.769 --> 00:50:58.239
aley is the bike rack

00:50:58.239 --> 00:51:01.289
required or is that voluntary? The bike racks are

00:51:01.289 --> 00:51:02.719
encouraged but they are not

00:51:02.719 --> 00:51:05.159
required. Okay so they have the option to put them in if

00:51:05.159 --> 00:51:05.840
they like but they're

00:51:05.840 --> 00:51:09.039
not a requirement. Yes. Do they get any credit for doing

00:51:09.039 --> 00:51:10.800
them? Not that I'm aware of but

00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:13.389
it's encouraged for the multimodal transportation

00:51:13.389 --> 00:51:14.360
throughout the Razor Ranch

00:51:14.360 --> 00:51:20.400
area. Thank you. Looking at the building elevations this is

00:51:20.400 --> 00:51:21.400
the west and north

00:51:21.400 --> 00:51:23.550
side of the building so the one on top that will be the

00:51:23.550 --> 00:51:25.159
side facing the freeway

00:51:25.159 --> 00:51:27.929
so you can see a sign on the front of the building all of

00:51:27.929 --> 00:51:29.119
their materials and

00:51:29.119 --> 00:51:32.409
colors are within the permitted materials and a color

00:51:32.409 --> 00:51:33.400
palette for the

00:51:33.400 --> 00:51:37.960
overlay district. This would be the north elevation and

00:51:37.960 --> 00:51:39.880
then here we have the east

00:51:39.880 --> 00:51:42.989
side this would be what faces that internal drive aisle and

00:51:42.989 --> 00:51:43.840
then the south

00:51:43.840 --> 00:51:49.969
elevation. There are criteria for approval outlined in the

00:51:49.969 --> 00:51:50.480
Razor Ranch

00:51:50.480 --> 00:51:53.679
overlay district. Commissioner Beck. Thank you chair. Go

00:51:53.679 --> 00:51:55.280
back to the east and west

00:51:55.280 --> 00:52:00.530
elevations. The west elevation that faces I-35 right? Yes

00:52:00.530 --> 00:52:02.119
sir. That looks like an

00:52:02.119 --> 00:52:05.880
entrance there. Is that gonna be an entrance side? Yes sir

00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:06.679
this would be the

00:52:06.679 --> 00:52:10.960
primary front entrance. That seems odd considering that you

00:52:10.960 --> 00:52:12.320
can't get to it but from the

00:52:12.320 --> 00:52:14.650
east side so they're gonna have to walk around from the

00:52:14.650 --> 00:52:15.519
parking is that my

00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:18.320
understanding? Yeah if we look at the plan here so the

00:52:18.320 --> 00:52:19.639
might be shown better

00:52:19.639 --> 00:52:22.679
on this one so the entrances to the side there would be one

00:52:22.679 --> 00:52:23.719
here on the north and

00:52:23.719 --> 00:52:27.730
one to the south off of the internal drive. Okay gotcha.

00:52:27.730 --> 00:52:31.320
Yeah parking provided on the side. Thank you.

00:52:32.119 --> 00:52:37.550
Okay so the criteria for approval of the site plan would be

00:52:37.550 --> 00:52:38.480
compliance with

00:52:38.480 --> 00:52:41.389
the concept and schematic plan that were approved by City

00:52:41.389 --> 00:52:42.920
Council ensuring that

00:52:42.920 --> 00:52:45.960
the site is compatible with the arrangement of buildings

00:52:45.960 --> 00:52:46.639
and land uses

00:52:46.639 --> 00:52:49.409
in the area wouldn't adversely affect adjoining

00:52:49.409 --> 00:52:50.400
neighborhoods or properties.

00:52:50.400 --> 00:52:53.800
The site has adequate and safe circulation for vehicular

00:52:53.800 --> 00:52:54.599
traffic and

00:52:54.599 --> 00:52:56.829
that the plan complies with any other sections of the

00:52:56.829 --> 00:52:57.840
overlay district and

00:52:57.840 --> 00:53:00.090
staff determined through our review of the site plan that

00:53:00.090 --> 00:53:00.880
it met these criteria

00:53:00.880 --> 00:53:06.039
to present to you. And staff is recommending approval of

00:53:06.039 --> 00:53:06.519
the site plan

00:53:06.519 --> 00:53:08.590
request because it is compliant with all of the

00:53:08.590 --> 00:53:10.000
requirements of the razor range

00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:13.599
overlay district as well as the criteria for approval. Okay

00:53:13.599 --> 00:53:14.920
one question for you so far.

00:53:14.920 --> 00:53:18.199
Commissioner Smith. Thank you Chair. Commissioner Ellis

00:53:18.199 --> 00:53:19.559
asked about mobility

00:53:19.559 --> 00:53:23.880
in the work session. One thing I thought of later item we

00:53:23.880 --> 00:53:24.519
were looking at is the

00:53:24.519 --> 00:53:27.559
convention center is built and it looks like it's gonna be

00:53:27.559 --> 00:53:28.719
pretty much finished

00:53:28.719 --> 00:53:32.079
and done pretty soon and I'm guessing since this is the

00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:32.960
first plat along that

00:53:32.960 --> 00:53:35.730
area that's getting done this will be done before other

00:53:35.730 --> 00:53:36.400
restaurants. Will there

00:53:36.400 --> 00:53:38.739
be mobility connection between the two like if someone who

00:53:38.739 --> 00:53:39.480
's staying at the

00:53:39.480 --> 00:53:41.880
embassy suites there wants to walk to the Cheddars will

00:53:41.880 --> 00:53:42.880
that be finished out

00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:46.170
with the drive-in and have the sidewalks and everything

00:53:46.170 --> 00:53:47.280
like that to the Cheddars

00:53:47.280 --> 00:53:51.210
from the convention center? Yes I don't have a map with me

00:53:51.210 --> 00:53:52.039
that would show it

00:53:52.039 --> 00:53:54.920
but there there is sidewalk connectivity plan throughout

00:53:54.920 --> 00:53:55.679
and the

00:53:55.679 --> 00:53:58.980
these roads here will be completed by the time of this so

00:53:58.980 --> 00:54:00.800
there would be it

00:54:00.800 --> 00:54:02.760
will be done by the time yeah there are sidewalks around

00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:03.519
the site that would

00:54:03.519 --> 00:54:05.900
connect across walks to get across the street to that. But

00:54:05.900 --> 00:54:06.880
all the way down to the

00:54:06.880 --> 00:54:08.809
to the convention center even because that's this is kind

00:54:08.809 --> 00:54:09.360
of a little bit

00:54:09.360 --> 00:54:12.130
further north along 35 from the convention center. Yes the

00:54:12.130 --> 00:54:13.639
sidewalks will be kind of

00:54:13.639 --> 00:54:15.920
piecemeal as each development comes in they will provide

00:54:15.920 --> 00:54:16.800
the sidewalks on their

00:54:16.800 --> 00:54:21.190
frontage but in general the roads and the overall mobility

00:54:21.190 --> 00:54:21.719
will be will be

00:54:21.719 --> 00:54:24.559
available at that time.

00:54:25.679 --> 00:54:29.639
Any other questions for Haley?

00:54:32.400 --> 00:54:36.840
Okay thank you. And the applicant is here if there were any

00:54:36.840 --> 00:54:37.599
questions for him as

00:54:37.599 --> 00:54:42.550
well. This is a individual consideration item so it's not a

00:54:42.550 --> 00:54:43.519
public hearing and

00:54:43.519 --> 00:54:46.289
if the applicant would like to speak you're welcome to and

00:54:46.289 --> 00:54:48.320
okay not thank you.

00:54:48.320 --> 00:54:53.679
With that the chair will open the floor for discussion or a

00:54:53.679 --> 00:54:54.440
motion.

00:54:56.599 --> 00:54:59.420
Commissioner back. I move to approve. Okay. Commissioner

00:54:59.420 --> 00:55:02.039
Smith. I second that motion.

00:55:02.039 --> 00:55:05.619
Okay we have a first and a second for approval. Are there

00:55:05.619 --> 00:55:06.840
any conditions on

00:55:06.840 --> 00:55:13.300
this? No? Okay. Any other further discussion or questions

00:55:13.300 --> 00:55:15.760
or comments? Okay.

00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:19.599
I'll call for a vote on board.

00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:31.880
Motion carries 6-0. Congratulations. This time we'll move

00:55:31.880 --> 00:55:33.280
us to our public hearing

00:55:33.280 --> 00:55:37.480
section and I will open the public hearing for item A which

00:55:37.480 --> 00:55:40.000
is Z 17 - 0020

00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:44.570
and I will call on Haley for presentation of that item

00:55:44.570 --> 00:55:45.360
tonight.

00:55:52.679 --> 00:55:58.719
All right this is case Z 17-20 for the lineman college. The

00:55:58.719 --> 00:55:59.679
request is to hold

00:55:59.679 --> 00:56:02.449
a public hearing and make a recommendation regarding an

00:56:02.449 --> 00:56:02.760
initial

00:56:02.760 --> 00:56:06.090
zoning classification of industrial center general that's

00:56:06.090 --> 00:56:06.960
the ICG district

00:56:06.960 --> 00:56:10.769
for an approximately 14 acre parcel that's located at the

00:56:10.769 --> 00:56:11.880
southeast corner

00:56:11.880 --> 00:56:15.360
of Shelby Lane you see here going east west and Dakota Lane

00:56:15.360 --> 00:56:15.960
which is an

00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:21.059
adjoining north-south roadway. So a little bit of history

00:56:21.059 --> 00:56:22.000
on the side a

00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:24.780
trade school the lineman college was established on this

00:56:24.780 --> 00:56:26.239
site in early 2010

00:56:26.239 --> 00:56:30.070
in that same year this property was part of a citywide

00:56:30.070 --> 00:56:32.599
annexation program and

00:56:32.599 --> 00:56:36.570
when a property is annexed the practice is to put in place

00:56:36.570 --> 00:56:37.599
a placeholder zoning

00:56:37.599 --> 00:56:41.239
designation of RD 5x so it assigns our rule standards to

00:56:41.239 --> 00:56:42.079
the property until

00:56:42.079 --> 00:56:45.690
such time as a proposals brought forth to rezone it to a

00:56:45.690 --> 00:56:47.360
different district. So

00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:50.400
the purpose of this request is to facilitate the expansion

00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:50.760
of this

00:56:50.760 --> 00:56:54.199
existing use and to ensure the property corresponds with

00:56:54.199 --> 00:56:55.719
the surrounding zoning

00:56:55.719 --> 00:57:00.159
in the area. So looking at this parcel and what's

00:57:00.159 --> 00:57:01.679
immediately adjoining it you

00:57:01.679 --> 00:57:05.159
can see the RD 5x is right now kind of an isolated pocket

00:57:05.159 --> 00:57:06.400
everything around it

00:57:06.400 --> 00:57:10.400
is currently ICG district so right now we have some vehicle

00:57:10.400 --> 00:57:11.559
repair other

00:57:11.559 --> 00:57:15.300
industrial uses and some gas wells in the immediate

00:57:15.300 --> 00:57:17.320
vicinity. Looking a little

00:57:17.320 --> 00:57:20.360
bit further out you see a continuation of that same pattern

00:57:20.360 --> 00:57:21.159
to the northeast

00:57:21.159 --> 00:57:24.480
there is some ICE district that's industrial center

00:57:24.480 --> 00:57:25.840
employment that's

00:57:25.840 --> 00:57:29.159
currently developed with a temporary industrial use at this

00:57:29.159 --> 00:57:29.800
time and to

00:57:29.800 --> 00:57:32.929
address one of the questions from work session Metro is a

00:57:32.929 --> 00:57:34.480
collector designated

00:57:34.480 --> 00:57:38.210
on the mobility plan and that will connect westward between

00:57:38.210 --> 00:57:39.280
Shelby Lane and

00:57:39.280 --> 00:57:47.360
West Park Boulevard. So looking at a little bit further out

00:57:47.360 --> 00:57:48.280
a view of this

00:57:48.280 --> 00:57:51.920
area and general mobility you can see the I-35 corridor is

00:57:51.920 --> 00:57:52.639
in fairly close

00:57:52.639 --> 00:57:55.480
proximity to the property there are a number of primary

00:57:55.480 --> 00:57:56.679
arterials in the area

00:57:56.679 --> 00:58:00.719
running both east-west and north-south and then as I just

00:58:00.719 --> 00:58:01.239
mentioned in the

00:58:01.239 --> 00:58:04.280
future Metro will connect a little bit closer here to

00:58:04.280 --> 00:58:04.760
provide further

00:58:04.760 --> 00:58:10.519
east-west connectivity. Looking at the future land use for

00:58:10.519 --> 00:58:11.920
this property this

00:58:11.920 --> 00:58:14.829
property and in general this entire portion of town are

00:58:14.829 --> 00:58:15.719
designated for

00:58:15.719 --> 00:58:19.650
industrial commerce that designation is meant to apply to

00:58:19.650 --> 00:58:20.719
areas where the

00:58:20.719 --> 00:58:23.760
predominant uses are manufacturing warehouse distribution

00:58:23.760 --> 00:58:24.760
larger scale

00:58:24.760 --> 00:58:29.159
industrial uses. Complementary supporting uses are desired

00:58:29.159 --> 00:58:30.199
in the area where it's

00:58:30.199 --> 00:58:32.760
appropriate to provide restaurants child care and things

00:58:32.760 --> 00:58:34.280
like that and all and

00:58:34.280 --> 00:58:36.869
those would be to provide transitions between this district

00:58:36.869 --> 00:58:37.880
and surrounding in

00:58:37.880 --> 00:58:41.349
a regional mixed use areas and residential areas. So the IC

00:58:41.349 --> 00:58:42.559
G district

00:58:42.559 --> 00:58:46.969
that's requested is consistent with this designation of

00:58:46.969 --> 00:58:49.719
industrial commerce. This

00:58:49.719 --> 00:58:52.489
proposed district is a logical extension of the surrounding

00:58:52.489 --> 00:58:52.639
zoning

00:58:52.639 --> 00:58:56.039
pattern we just saw it would ensure that this property as

00:58:56.039 --> 00:58:57.199
it expands and

00:58:57.199 --> 00:59:00.079
continues to develop does so in a way that is compatible

00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:01.119
with the existing

00:59:01.119 --> 00:59:06.219
uses and existing zoning in the area. Notification was sent

00:59:06.219 --> 00:59:07.719
about this case no

00:59:07.719 --> 00:59:11.679
responses have been received date and staff is recommending

00:59:11.679 --> 00:59:12.599
approval because

00:59:12.599 --> 00:59:15.369
of the compatibility with surrounding land uses surrounding

00:59:15.369 --> 00:59:15.760
zoning and

00:59:15.760 --> 00:59:20.519
consistency with the Denton plan 2030 and I can address any

00:59:20.519 --> 00:59:21.519
questions.

00:59:23.639 --> 00:59:28.079
Commissioner Sullivan. Thank you chair. When you zoom in on

00:59:28.079 --> 00:59:29.840
the map it appears

00:59:29.840 --> 00:59:33.280
that there are quite a few telephone poles on the property

00:59:33.280 --> 00:59:34.320
where obviously

00:59:34.320 --> 00:59:40.079
they train. Are they looking to change the code in order to

00:59:40.079 --> 00:59:41.519
have more another

00:59:41.519 --> 00:59:47.530
structure built or is this just to bring the code into line

00:59:47.530 --> 00:59:48.760
with what they're

00:59:48.760 --> 00:59:52.519
actually doing? So I think I mentioned at work session it's

00:59:52.519 --> 00:59:53.400
currently considered a

00:59:53.400 --> 00:59:56.280
non-conforming use so to do any expansion they would have

00:59:56.280 --> 00:59:56.880
to go to the

00:59:56.880 --> 00:59:59.030
Zoning Board of Adjustment or they could rezone to a

00:59:59.030 --> 01:00:00.360
district where their use is

01:00:00.360 --> 01:00:04.099
permitted. Trade schools are permitted in ICG at this time

01:00:04.099 --> 01:00:04.880
I believe they have

01:00:04.880 --> 01:00:08.199
several plans for expansions in the future. Right now I

01:00:08.199 --> 01:00:08.960
think they're just

01:00:08.960 --> 01:00:11.300
looking at an additional classroom building but I think

01:00:11.300 --> 01:00:12.119
they do have plans

01:00:12.119 --> 01:00:17.349
to do further expansion in the future. Okay thank you. Any

01:00:17.349 --> 01:00:19.559
other questions for

01:00:19.559 --> 01:00:25.320
Haley? Okay thank you. This is a public hearing if there's

01:00:25.320 --> 01:00:25.960
anyone who would like

01:00:25.960 --> 01:00:29.059
to speak on this item please come forward at this time. I

01:00:29.059 --> 01:00:30.320
don't have any

01:00:30.320 --> 01:00:36.329
cards at this time to speak on this item. Seeing none I'll

01:00:36.329 --> 01:00:37.480
close the public

01:00:37.480 --> 01:00:40.519
hearing and open the floor for discussion or motion.

01:00:40.519 --> 01:00:42.840
Commissioner Sullivan.

01:00:42.840 --> 01:00:46.679
Make a motion that we approve this. Okay Commissioner Ellis

01:00:46.679 --> 01:00:47.920
. Thank you chair I will

01:00:47.920 --> 01:00:51.480
second. Okay have a first and a second for approval. Any

01:00:51.480 --> 01:00:54.440
further discussion?

01:00:56.960 --> 01:01:01.159
Seeing none I'll call for a vote on board.

01:01:05.840 --> 01:01:10.969
Motion carries 6-0. Moves us to our public hearing item B.

01:01:10.969 --> 01:01:13.360
At this time I'm

01:01:13.360 --> 01:01:26.559
open the public hearing for Z17-0021 and call on Haley.

01:01:26.559 --> 01:01:28.320
Alright good evening

01:01:28.320 --> 01:01:32.599
again. So this is case Z1721 it's a rezoning associated

01:01:32.599 --> 01:01:35.400
with Razor Ranch. The

01:01:35.400 --> 01:01:38.920
request is to hold this public hearing and consider a

01:01:38.920 --> 01:01:40.760
request to amend three of

01:01:40.760 --> 01:01:43.530
the exhibits in the Razor Ranch overlay district exhibits B

01:01:43.530 --> 01:01:46.400
1, B4, and E1. And

01:01:46.400 --> 01:01:50.809
those changes would include a rezoning of approximately 12

01:01:50.809 --> 01:01:51.880
acres from South

01:01:51.880 --> 01:01:55.519
Mixed Use District to South RR2 districts and it would also

01:01:55.519 --> 01:01:56.280
incorporate a

01:01:56.280 --> 01:02:02.230
total of approximately 22 acres into sign area 2. The Razor

01:02:02.230 --> 01:02:03.960
Ranch overlay is

01:02:03.960 --> 01:02:07.679
included includes 410 acres located on both sides of

01:02:07.679 --> 01:02:10.320
University Drive located

01:02:10.320 --> 01:02:13.480
in between Bonnie Bray on the east side and 35 W on the

01:02:13.480 --> 01:02:15.000
west or sorry 35 on the

01:02:15.000 --> 01:02:19.320
west. The district was originally approved in 2007. The

01:02:19.320 --> 01:02:20.440
major components

01:02:20.440 --> 01:02:23.289
of the overlay include zoning restrictions so each sub

01:02:23.289 --> 01:02:24.159
district within

01:02:24.159 --> 01:02:27.610
there has permitted uses and general regulations that apply

01:02:27.610 --> 01:02:29.840
to it. It puts in

01:02:29.840 --> 01:02:33.019
place site design criteria for architecture landscaping and

01:02:33.019 --> 01:02:33.760
signage and

01:02:33.760 --> 01:02:36.530
it also established the site plan process that we saw

01:02:36.530 --> 01:02:38.119
earlier this evening.

01:02:38.119 --> 01:02:40.889
So the property in question as I mentioned we have

01:02:40.889 --> 01:02:42.679
approximately 12 acres

01:02:42.679 --> 01:02:46.420
that are included in the request to rezone to RR2 and then

01:02:46.420 --> 01:02:47.159
we have a total

01:02:47.159 --> 01:02:52.460
of 22 acres that would be folded into sign area 2 with this

01:02:52.460 --> 01:02:54.559
request. A brief

01:02:54.559 --> 01:02:57.599
overview of Razor Ranch there are two major areas the

01:02:57.599 --> 01:02:58.960
marketplace on the north

01:02:58.960 --> 01:03:02.079
and the south campus on the south side of University.

01:03:02.079 --> 01:03:03.440
Looking at those a little

01:03:03.440 --> 01:03:06.590
more in detail the marketplace includes the RR2 area where

01:03:06.590 --> 01:03:07.480
we have a lot of

01:03:07.480 --> 01:03:10.849
commercial and restaurant uses. The RR3 area we have some

01:03:10.849 --> 01:03:11.960
bigger stores such as

01:03:11.960 --> 01:03:14.730
Walmart and Sam's in that area and then there is a

01:03:14.730 --> 01:03:16.679
residential area that will be

01:03:16.679 --> 01:03:21.150
developed in the future. On the south side RR1 is the

01:03:21.150 --> 01:03:22.800
district that surrounds

01:03:22.800 --> 01:03:27.320
the town center. RR2 applies mostly on the perimeter along

01:03:27.320 --> 01:03:30.840
380 and 35 and then

01:03:30.840 --> 01:03:33.719
we have the south mixed-use district that applies to pretty

01:03:33.719 --> 01:03:34.679
much the remainder

01:03:34.679 --> 01:03:38.460
of the property. Then there are several other smaller parc

01:03:38.460 --> 01:03:39.480
els we have a DME

01:03:39.480 --> 01:03:42.710
substation here on the north side along Bonnie Bray, a

01:03:42.710 --> 01:03:43.960
drill pad also on Bonnie

01:03:43.960 --> 01:03:47.079
Bray and then Cook Children's is already designed and

01:03:47.079 --> 01:03:48.039
established as well in that

01:03:48.039 --> 01:03:52.780
area. For the marketplace there are standards in place for

01:03:52.780 --> 01:03:54.480
architecture for

01:03:54.480 --> 01:03:57.250
the commercial components. The residential standards have

01:03:57.250 --> 01:03:57.639
not been

01:03:57.639 --> 01:04:00.940
approved at this point and those will come before you as a

01:04:00.940 --> 01:04:02.000
request when the

01:04:02.000 --> 01:04:06.719
residential area is to be developed. On the south side the

01:04:06.719 --> 01:04:08.440
town center and South

01:04:08.440 --> 01:04:11.480
RR2 district have established standards in place as

01:04:11.480 --> 01:04:14.840
exhibits C1, D1 and E1. The

01:04:14.840 --> 01:04:18.000
south mixed-use area currently does not have standards for

01:04:18.000 --> 01:04:19.079
the majority of the

01:04:19.079 --> 01:04:22.409
uses there. Multi-family standards did come before you last

01:04:22.409 --> 01:04:23.320
year and those have

01:04:23.320 --> 01:04:26.090
been folded into the overlay but there are currently just

01:04:26.090 --> 01:04:28.400
placeholders C2, D2

01:04:28.400 --> 01:04:31.440
and E2 that will be the standards for the commercial and

01:04:31.440 --> 01:04:32.559
other uses within the

01:04:32.559 --> 01:04:35.010
south mixed-use district and those will be established at

01:04:35.010 --> 01:04:35.760
some point in the

01:04:35.760 --> 01:04:39.059
future and brought before you as well. So the first

01:04:39.059 --> 01:04:40.960
component of this request is

01:04:40.960 --> 01:04:45.150
to amend exhibit B1, it's the zoning and concept plan for

01:04:45.150 --> 01:04:46.239
it and you can see here

01:04:46.239 --> 01:04:49.150
the area in red is the difference. So currently it's within

01:04:49.150 --> 01:04:50.199
that south mixed-use

01:04:50.199 --> 01:04:52.969
district that doesn't have standards in place. It would

01:04:52.969 --> 01:04:55.280
currently permit hotel

01:04:55.280 --> 01:04:59.880
commercial uses office and multi-family. The request is to

01:04:59.880 --> 01:05:00.599
change it to the south

01:05:00.599 --> 01:05:03.960
RR2 district which would take out the residential component

01:05:03.960 --> 01:05:04.679
and just allow

01:05:04.679 --> 01:05:08.739
commercial development on the property. The second

01:05:08.739 --> 01:05:10.280
component to this would be

01:05:10.280 --> 01:05:14.210
amending exhibit B4 which shows the zoning on the property.

01:05:14.210 --> 01:05:15.719
Same area we're

01:05:15.719 --> 01:05:18.940
just extending this boundary for the RR2 over to the east

01:05:18.940 --> 01:05:20.400
to include this 12 acre

01:05:20.400 --> 01:05:24.860
parcel. Comparison of what would be allowed there in terms

01:05:24.860 --> 01:05:25.719
of general

01:05:25.719 --> 01:05:29.460
regulations they are very similar same lot coverage

01:05:29.460 --> 01:05:31.320
landscape area requirements

01:05:31.320 --> 01:05:34.239
building heights are roughly the same. The key difference

01:05:34.239 --> 01:05:35.000
is really that

01:05:35.000 --> 01:05:40.800
residential component and as I mentioned before sign

01:05:40.800 --> 01:05:41.559
architecture and

01:05:41.559 --> 01:05:44.369
landscape standards haven't been developed for commercial

01:05:44.369 --> 01:05:45.960
uses within the

01:05:45.960 --> 01:05:48.269
south mixed-use district at this time. Those will be

01:05:48.269 --> 01:05:49.360
created and inserted in

01:05:49.360 --> 01:05:52.760
the overlay later. Whereas south RR2 has existing standards

01:05:52.760 --> 01:05:53.800
that we saw being

01:05:53.800 --> 01:05:58.400
applied to Chetters. Here's an example of some buildings

01:05:58.400 --> 01:05:59.159
that have been approved

01:05:59.159 --> 01:06:02.719
in the south RR2 area to show you what those standards the

01:06:02.719 --> 01:06:03.559
end result of those

01:06:03.559 --> 01:06:07.489
would be. So you can see here applied to restaurants, large

01:06:07.489 --> 01:06:08.960
box stores, a strip

01:06:08.960 --> 01:06:12.420
center with multiple uses and then more recently we had the

01:06:12.420 --> 01:06:13.599
Alamo draft house and

01:06:13.599 --> 01:06:18.320
rooms to go that were approved last year. So just to

01:06:18.320 --> 01:06:20.360
summarize all of that

01:06:20.360 --> 01:06:23.130
exhibits B1 and B4 this change would have two major

01:06:23.130 --> 01:06:24.559
implications. It would

01:06:24.559 --> 01:06:27.739
remove residential uses from the parcel that would strictly

01:06:27.739 --> 01:06:28.900
be multifamily. The

01:06:28.900 --> 01:06:31.119
same commercial uses are generally permitted in both

01:06:31.119 --> 01:06:32.119
districts though so no

01:06:32.119 --> 01:06:35.000
change there and it would change the design standards that

01:06:35.000 --> 01:06:36.119
apply. It would put

01:06:36.119 --> 01:06:39.960
the existing RR2 standards in place on the property. In

01:06:39.960 --> 01:06:41.360
staff's analysis of this

01:06:41.360 --> 01:06:44.789
we determined residential not likely to be ideal on that

01:06:44.789 --> 01:06:46.079
property. Close

01:06:46.079 --> 01:06:50.170
proximity to I-35 surrounded by commercial development on

01:06:50.170 --> 01:06:52.119
all sides and

01:06:52.119 --> 01:06:55.880
looking just prospecting to the future we don't anticipate

01:06:55.880 --> 01:06:57.039
that the commercial

01:06:57.039 --> 01:06:59.230
standards in the south mixed-use will be substantially

01:06:59.230 --> 01:07:00.199
different from what we

01:07:00.199 --> 01:07:03.039
already have in place in the RR2. So the goal is to create

01:07:03.039 --> 01:07:03.840
one cohesive

01:07:03.840 --> 01:07:07.010
development. So it's not likely that if it developed under

01:07:07.010 --> 01:07:08.119
south mixed-use we

01:07:08.119 --> 01:07:12.840
would see much difference between the end result. The other

01:07:12.840 --> 01:07:14.320
major component of

01:07:14.320 --> 01:07:17.090
this request and the third individual exhibit to be amended

01:07:17.090 --> 01:07:18.159
would be appendix

01:07:18.159 --> 01:07:21.719
one of exhibit E. So you can see here sign area two being

01:07:21.719 --> 01:07:22.400
extended to the

01:07:22.400 --> 01:07:25.829
south and east to include the parcel that we just discussed

01:07:25.829 --> 01:07:26.639
as well as the

01:07:26.639 --> 01:07:30.960
parcel where rooms to go is currently under construction.

01:07:30.960 --> 01:07:33.239
The second exhibit

01:07:33.239 --> 01:07:36.980
within the sign standards similar thing we're just seeing

01:07:36.980 --> 01:07:37.960
an extension of

01:07:37.960 --> 01:07:42.369
sign area two and there are some changes being made to

01:07:42.369 --> 01:07:43.239
where signs where some of

01:07:43.239 --> 01:07:46.449
the larger signs are being proposed. There was a question

01:07:46.449 --> 01:07:47.360
at work session

01:07:47.360 --> 01:07:49.690
about a distinction between the height of signs allowed

01:07:49.690 --> 01:07:51.519
there. That difference is

01:07:51.519 --> 01:07:53.809
because it's blurry on here you might be able to see it

01:07:53.809 --> 01:07:54.880
better in your backup.

01:07:54.880 --> 01:07:58.809
There are H1 signs and H2 signs so those are different

01:07:58.809 --> 01:08:00.760
types of pylons. H1 signs

01:08:00.760 --> 01:08:03.639
are allowed to be taller than H2 signs so that's why some

01:08:03.639 --> 01:08:04.280
of them have a

01:08:04.280 --> 01:08:07.320
standard of 75 feet and some have 45 feet. So it's two

01:08:07.320 --> 01:08:08.320
different types of

01:08:08.320 --> 01:08:12.679
signs being allowed. If I may. Commissioner Becker. Okay so

01:08:12.679 --> 01:08:13.880
and I think

01:08:13.880 --> 01:08:18.399
Commissioner Smith indicated too that one side would be

01:08:18.399 --> 01:08:19.800
more specifically for

01:08:19.800 --> 01:08:23.569
a particular business where the other sign might be for.

01:08:23.569 --> 01:08:24.640
Certainly yeah there

01:08:24.640 --> 01:08:26.590
are differences in what would be permitted with those two

01:08:26.590 --> 01:08:27.159
types but that

01:08:27.159 --> 01:08:29.569
is the distinction in height. There's two different types

01:08:29.569 --> 01:08:30.439
of pylon signs that

01:08:30.439 --> 01:08:36.600
would be permitted. Great great thanks Aiden. All right

01:08:36.600 --> 01:08:37.840
notification was sent

01:08:37.840 --> 01:08:40.659
about this case as of the time of this meeting we had

01:08:40.659 --> 01:08:42.119
received two responses.

01:08:42.119 --> 01:08:45.399
One in opposition from a residence here on the north side

01:08:45.399 --> 01:08:46.359
of the overlay and

01:08:46.359 --> 01:08:49.199
then one in favor from one of the co-owners of the

01:08:49.199 --> 01:08:50.279
development and

01:08:50.279 --> 01:08:53.880
immediately before this I believe we received a third

01:08:53.880 --> 01:08:55.560
response that was given

01:08:55.560 --> 01:09:01.880
to Chair Strange. Staff is recommending approval of both

01:09:01.880 --> 01:09:02.560
aspects of this

01:09:02.560 --> 01:09:05.649
request the zoning change and the sign area change because

01:09:05.649 --> 01:09:06.560
it is compatible

01:09:06.560 --> 01:09:08.789
with the surrounding development and it's consistent with

01:09:08.789 --> 01:09:09.319
the goals and

01:09:09.319 --> 01:09:12.420
objectives both for the overlay and for the Denton plan

01:09:12.420 --> 01:09:14.300
2030 for this area. Can

01:09:14.300 --> 01:09:20.149
try to answer any questions. Commissioner Smith. Thank you

01:09:20.149 --> 01:09:20.960
Chair.

01:09:20.960 --> 01:09:25.619
Haley in your opinion the use of if this wasn't rezoned and

01:09:25.619 --> 01:09:26.479
there was a

01:09:26.479 --> 01:09:29.880
multifamily development that did come in there was built do

01:09:29.880 --> 01:09:32.119
you feel that

01:09:32.119 --> 01:09:35.909
mobility would be the exact same once panhandles developed

01:09:35.909 --> 01:09:36.880
to be the exact

01:09:36.880 --> 01:09:39.680
same whether it is a multifamily use or goes commercial use

01:09:39.680 --> 01:09:41.600
. I think the end

01:09:41.600 --> 01:09:44.789
result would be very similar because the same commercial

01:09:44.789 --> 01:09:46.079
use could develop under

01:09:46.079 --> 01:09:49.010
the existing zoning. It's such a small parcel multifamily

01:09:49.010 --> 01:09:50.000
wouldn't have a whole

01:09:50.000 --> 01:09:52.770
lot of density there but the same intensive commercial uses

01:09:52.770 --> 01:09:53.479
would already

01:09:53.479 --> 01:09:56.279
be permitted. So I'm gonna ask that in regards to one of

01:09:56.279 --> 01:09:56.920
the responses thank

01:09:56.920 --> 01:10:03.239
you. Commissioner Ellis. Thank you Chair I don't really

01:10:03.239 --> 01:10:04.560
have a question just

01:10:04.560 --> 01:10:06.689
wanted to say great presentation you condensed a lot of

01:10:06.689 --> 01:10:07.680
information there's a

01:10:07.680 --> 01:10:10.720
lot going on here you presented it really well thank you

01:10:10.720 --> 01:10:14.399
very much. Any

01:10:14.399 --> 01:10:20.159
other questions for Haley? Okay thank you this is a public

01:10:20.159 --> 01:10:21.479
hearing so anyone who

01:10:21.479 --> 01:10:24.039
would like to speak on this item please come forward at

01:10:24.039 --> 01:10:25.720
this time while I'm

01:10:25.720 --> 01:10:30.779
waiting I've got three letters I've got one from Andrew Os

01:10:30.779 --> 01:10:32.600
borne in favor request

01:10:32.600 --> 01:10:38.920
I've got one from Joe Revis opposed to request and I have

01:10:38.920 --> 01:10:41.359
one from Kenan

01:10:41.359 --> 01:10:45.090
Johnson opposed to request and those are all the comments

01:10:45.090 --> 01:10:46.479
that we have to enter

01:10:46.479 --> 01:10:48.800
into the record at this time. Again this is a public

01:10:48.800 --> 01:10:49.920
hearing anyone who would like

01:10:49.920 --> 01:10:54.079
to speak on this item please come forward at this time.

01:10:54.600 --> 01:10:58.340
Commissioner Beck. Thank you Chair I would like to speak to

01:10:58.340 --> 01:10:59.420
the applicant if I

01:10:59.420 --> 01:11:08.069
may. I think you have to state your name and address if you

01:11:08.069 --> 01:11:10.220
would. Good evening my

01:11:10.220 --> 01:11:13.300
name is Scott Wagner with Red Development representing DB

01:11:13.300 --> 01:11:15.720
Denton 2 the owner and

01:11:15.720 --> 01:11:19.890
developer of Razor Ranch Town Center I live and work in

01:11:19.890 --> 01:11:22.359
Phoenix Arizona. Thanks

01:11:22.359 --> 01:11:26.319
Scott listen Mike I do have a little bit of concern of this

01:11:26.319 --> 01:11:27.520
zone change request

01:11:27.520 --> 01:11:30.449
just because I'm a pretty strong advocate for keeping all

01:11:30.449 --> 01:11:31.279
the land we can

01:11:31.279 --> 01:11:38.300
for residential and losing any for this particular item I

01:11:38.300 --> 01:11:39.680
don't know it seems

01:11:39.680 --> 01:11:42.569
like the land value for residential has greater value to

01:11:42.569 --> 01:11:43.720
the city but let me ask

01:11:43.720 --> 01:11:49.840
you this on to the north of this development we have North

01:11:49.840 --> 01:11:50.439
Lake Spark

01:11:50.439 --> 01:11:54.210
which has a pretty vast recreation center and just to the

01:11:54.210 --> 01:11:55.079
south both of

01:11:55.079 --> 01:11:57.850
them are within a probably a couple of miles of this

01:11:57.850 --> 01:11:58.880
development have these

01:11:58.880 --> 01:12:02.100
recreation centers let me ask this recreation center that

01:12:02.100 --> 01:12:03.039
you're gonna be

01:12:03.039 --> 01:12:05.920
built can you tell us what all it entails is there gonna be

01:12:05.920 --> 01:12:06.439
like indoor

01:12:06.439 --> 01:12:11.890
pool is this gonna be more of an exercise type venue or is

01:12:11.890 --> 01:12:13.039
it gonna be

01:12:13.039 --> 01:12:16.539
something like main event where people come and have fun I

01:12:16.539 --> 01:12:18.640
think it it'll be

01:12:18.640 --> 01:12:22.789
more like the indoor main event Dave and Buster's okay type

01:12:22.789 --> 01:12:24.000
of an event so it's

01:12:24.000 --> 01:12:27.930
a 40,000 square foot building the site plan is submitted to

01:12:27.930 --> 01:12:31.039
the city and in

01:12:31.039 --> 01:12:34.279
process okay so you're not gonna be doing anything that

01:12:34.279 --> 01:12:35.399
would compete with

01:12:35.399 --> 01:12:40.880
the junior North Lakes Park or no no okay well that helps a

01:12:40.880 --> 01:12:41.239
lot that

01:12:41.239 --> 01:12:46.680
clarifies a lot for me thank you any other questions for

01:12:46.680 --> 01:12:50.399
the applicant thank

01:12:50.399 --> 01:12:55.460
you thank you this is a public hearing anyone who would

01:12:55.460 --> 01:12:56.039
like to speak on this

01:12:56.039 --> 01:13:01.479
item please come forward at this time did you fill out one

01:13:01.479 --> 01:13:03.319
of these with one

01:13:03.319 --> 01:13:05.850
of these your cards or you have another please come forward

01:13:05.850 --> 01:13:06.680
and give your name

01:13:06.680 --> 01:13:09.720
and address and then before you leave please fill out a

01:13:09.720 --> 01:13:11.000
card for us thank you

01:13:11.000 --> 01:13:18.489
Jimmy Rogers CS Rogers properties we own 916 North Bonnie

01:13:18.489 --> 01:13:20.720
Bray with all of this

01:13:20.720 --> 01:13:27.239
development Bonnie Bray is already tons over crowded you're

01:13:27.239 --> 01:13:29.380
gonna have to the

01:13:29.380 --> 01:13:37.739
south scripture that's just a two-lane road what is what's

01:13:37.739 --> 01:13:39.840
going on with all of

01:13:39.840 --> 01:13:45.640
that because right now supposedly they're going to widen

01:13:45.640 --> 01:13:48.079
Bonnie Bray or

01:13:48.079 --> 01:13:56.439
the city is but now we've got all this commercial work

01:13:56.439 --> 01:13:58.520
coming in that's going

01:13:58.520 --> 01:14:04.359
to add more traffic there's basically two ways in two ways

01:14:04.359 --> 01:14:06.159
out what are y'all's

01:14:06.159 --> 01:14:11.710
thoughts on all of that well I don't know if we have Jim

01:14:11.710 --> 01:14:14.039
Jinx here or Haley

01:14:14.039 --> 01:14:17.640
would like to address that I'd prefer staff to give the

01:14:17.640 --> 01:14:19.560
official response for

01:14:19.560 --> 01:14:24.239
them myself yes sir and I don't know of the specific

01:14:24.239 --> 01:14:25.880
timeline or plans for Bonnie

01:14:25.880 --> 01:14:28.329
Bray the ultimate intent is for it to be a secondary arter

01:14:28.329 --> 01:14:29.199
ial that would be a

01:14:29.199 --> 01:14:33.060
four-lane roadway with 110 feet of right of way but I don't

01:14:33.060 --> 01:14:33.880
know the time frame

01:14:33.880 --> 01:14:38.159
on that and Jim isn't with us right now

01:14:42.159 --> 01:14:48.140
and this is way off of what the topic is but I think it

01:14:48.140 --> 01:14:49.399
needs to be brought to

01:14:49.399 --> 01:14:53.560
the attention that while all this construction is going on

01:14:53.560 --> 01:14:54.439
it's getting

01:14:54.439 --> 01:14:58.630
harder and harder and harder for the landowners to get to

01:14:58.630 --> 01:15:00.520
their property and

01:15:00.520 --> 01:15:08.149
again the city of Denton is getting their cart before their

01:15:08.149 --> 01:15:11.439
horse this razor

01:15:11.439 --> 01:15:15.760
ranch property has been bought and sold three times that I

01:15:15.760 --> 01:15:18.039
know of and rezoned I

01:15:18.039 --> 01:15:23.640
don't know how many times you know I'm glad that we're

01:15:23.640 --> 01:15:26.720
getting it but in turn

01:15:26.720 --> 01:15:31.319
we have to look at the existing structures that we have

01:15:31.319 --> 01:15:32.319
there what it's

01:15:32.319 --> 01:15:39.739
doing to all of us that live there that own the property I

01:15:39.739 --> 01:15:40.680
appreciate your

01:15:40.680 --> 01:15:44.420
comments and those are things that I think are probably

01:15:44.420 --> 01:15:45.880
addressed at us the

01:15:45.880 --> 01:15:48.689
staff traffic department things those are really not things

01:15:48.689 --> 01:15:49.439
that comes before

01:15:49.439 --> 01:15:52.699
our Commission so I'm sorry not to be able to give you an

01:15:52.699 --> 01:15:53.920
answer that you'd

01:15:53.920 --> 01:15:56.520
like on that

01:15:58.680 --> 01:16:02.119
Commissioner Smith thank you chair just in regards to your

01:16:02.119 --> 01:16:02.920
comments one thank

01:16:02.920 --> 01:16:05.960
you for coming out so we need more many more citizens to

01:16:05.960 --> 01:16:07.079
come out and speak up

01:16:07.079 --> 01:16:10.520
whenever they see something about in their community that's

01:16:10.520 --> 01:16:12.000
going on one

01:16:12.000 --> 01:16:15.520
thing's a comment second one's a question common wise this

01:16:15.520 --> 01:16:16.319
this is just

01:16:16.319 --> 01:16:19.090
the zoning process we will get to the plotting process of

01:16:19.090 --> 01:16:19.720
course and if we

01:16:19.720 --> 01:16:21.930
feel like as commissioners and especially after hearing you

01:16:21.930 --> 01:16:22.359
speak we'll

01:16:22.359 --> 01:16:24.430
probably all still be here on the Commission when it comes

01:16:24.430 --> 01:16:25.000
to the actual

01:16:25.000 --> 01:16:28.840
national site plan process and approving of that if we feel

01:16:28.840 --> 01:16:30.319
like Bonnie Bray and

01:16:30.319 --> 01:16:33.750
scripture aren't in the plans to be expanded to a custom

01:16:33.750 --> 01:16:35.520
the 40,000 square

01:16:35.520 --> 01:16:37.880
foot Dave and Buster's or something like that coming in

01:16:37.880 --> 01:16:39.279
then we're gonna speak up

01:16:39.279 --> 01:16:42.319
and say something about it so at the point we're at now it

01:16:42.319 --> 01:16:42.840
doesn't seem

01:16:42.840 --> 01:16:46.760
nearly as important but in regards to one of the comments

01:16:46.760 --> 01:16:48.199
you made if this is

01:16:48.199 --> 01:16:50.159
a multifamily site that was being built there because that

01:16:50.159 --> 01:16:51.159
's what's essentially

01:16:51.159 --> 01:16:53.930
what would be used if we didn't rezone it would it make a

01:16:53.930 --> 01:16:55.039
difference to you

01:16:55.039 --> 01:16:57.789
would I mean would you still say that the street needs to

01:16:57.789 --> 01:16:58.720
be expanded even if

01:16:58.720 --> 01:17:01.000
we were to be building an apartment complex there instead

01:17:01.000 --> 01:17:01.880
if we're going to

01:17:01.880 --> 01:17:04.649
get into question-answer we'll need to come back up to the

01:17:04.649 --> 01:17:07.159
mine is correct okay

01:17:07.159 --> 01:17:10.159
all right thank you

01:17:14.720 --> 01:17:23.869
my personal opinion is on your zoning you've got people

01:17:23.869 --> 01:17:25.640
that are coming in

01:17:25.640 --> 01:17:31.409
purchasing property from this company which is good for

01:17:31.409 --> 01:17:34.640
them the zone use to

01:17:34.640 --> 01:17:42.359
me anything along 35 should be commercial or the the retail

01:17:42.359 --> 01:17:43.640
whatever are

01:17:43.640 --> 01:17:51.100
2d2 whatever y'all call it I understand all of that I'm

01:17:51.100 --> 01:17:52.640
more worried about

01:17:52.640 --> 01:17:58.539
what's happening on the east side because it's changed as

01:17:58.539 --> 01:18:00.199
many times as

01:18:00.199 --> 01:18:05.399
the owners every time there's a new owner there's new plans

01:18:05.399 --> 01:18:06.920
I've got to look

01:18:06.920 --> 01:18:14.239
out for my property that's all you know that's why I'm here

01:18:14.239 --> 01:18:15.399
because I got the

01:18:15.399 --> 01:18:22.020
letter and I always come to thank you whether I speak or

01:18:22.020 --> 01:18:23.279
not okay thank you

01:18:23.279 --> 01:18:26.479
for your comments Commissioner Sullivan yes I would like to

01:18:26.479 --> 01:18:27.560
say to address your

01:18:27.560 --> 01:18:31.340
concerns about the traffic I can assure you in work

01:18:31.340 --> 01:18:33.319
sessions traffic is always

01:18:33.319 --> 01:18:37.109
an issue we had questions today about traffic and how the

01:18:37.109 --> 01:18:37.680
roads are going to

01:18:37.680 --> 01:18:40.479
be done so you know I just want to let you know that we are

01:18:40.479 --> 01:18:41.800
looking out for you

01:18:41.800 --> 01:18:45.970
because we do believe that people live around need to know

01:18:45.970 --> 01:18:47.239
what the traffic

01:18:47.239 --> 01:18:50.010
situation is going to be and how we're going to improve it

01:18:50.010 --> 01:18:50.680
and not make it

01:18:50.680 --> 01:18:53.739
worse so I just want to let you know we do talk about those

01:18:53.739 --> 01:18:54.920
things just maybe not

01:18:54.920 --> 01:19:00.350
here a lot of times Commissioner Beck thank you chair mr.

01:19:00.350 --> 01:19:01.439
Rogers I'd like to

01:19:01.439 --> 01:19:04.640
echo Commissioner Smith's sentiments for coming and

01:19:04.640 --> 01:19:06.640
speaking out we do appreciate

01:19:06.640 --> 01:19:10.609
that I would ask staff that is here to Ron and Haley is

01:19:10.609 --> 01:19:12.079
there a name or number

01:19:12.079 --> 01:19:14.970
you can give mr. Rogers that could probably better answer

01:19:14.970 --> 01:19:15.880
his question to

01:19:15.880 --> 01:19:23.560
somebody who handles the future of the streets would that

01:19:23.560 --> 01:19:27.000
be Jim Jenks this time

01:19:31.479 --> 01:19:35.920
pre town yes sir there is a traffic engineer for the city

01:19:35.920 --> 01:19:37.399
but I would start

01:19:37.399 --> 01:19:40.229
that request with Jim and he can can work that up would you

01:19:40.229 --> 01:19:40.720
be able to give

01:19:40.720 --> 01:19:43.949
him the name and Jim's name and yes I can get that contact

01:19:43.949 --> 01:19:46.119
information for him great thank you

01:19:46.119 --> 01:19:57.819
okay any other questions staff general public I think I was

01:19:57.819 --> 01:19:59.199
getting ready to

01:19:59.199 --> 01:20:02.329
close the public hearing so is there anyone else who would

01:20:02.329 --> 01:20:03.239
like to speak on

01:20:03.239 --> 01:20:08.300
this item at this time seeing none I will close the public

01:20:08.300 --> 01:20:09.479
hearing and open

01:20:09.479 --> 01:20:15.359
the floor for our motion or discussion Commissioner Smith

01:20:15.359 --> 01:20:16.720
thank you chair a

01:20:16.720 --> 01:20:22.920
motion to accept okay Commissioner Sullivan okay we have a

01:20:22.920 --> 01:20:23.840
motion for

01:20:23.840 --> 01:20:30.869
approval and a second any further discussion or comment I

01:20:30.869 --> 01:20:33.640
'll make a quick

01:20:33.640 --> 01:20:35.729
comment and we'll take our vote I know we have a lot of

01:20:35.729 --> 01:20:36.960
discussion and comments

01:20:36.960 --> 01:20:41.180
about traffic it is a complicated issue I think part of the

01:20:41.180 --> 01:20:42.600
thing that we have

01:20:42.600 --> 01:20:46.550
to keep in mind is sometimes just because someone comes in

01:20:46.550 --> 01:20:47.279
to build a

01:20:47.279 --> 01:20:50.880
piece of real estate commercial residential on a main

01:20:50.880 --> 01:20:52.039
thoroughfare in

01:20:52.039 --> 01:20:54.810
the city it may not always boil down to that it's the

01:20:54.810 --> 01:20:56.079
developers responsibility

01:20:56.079 --> 01:21:00.000
to fix all that it may be some city involvement in some of

01:21:00.000 --> 01:21:01.079
that so I think

01:21:01.079 --> 01:21:03.199
we need to keep that in mind as we have some of these

01:21:03.199 --> 01:21:05.159
discussions that it's can

01:21:05.159 --> 01:21:09.560
sometimes be a joint issue that needs to be addressed

01:21:09.560 --> 01:21:10.960
rather than a private

01:21:10.960 --> 01:21:14.409
property owner has to solve all those problems so with that

01:21:14.409 --> 01:21:15.319
we have a first

01:21:15.319 --> 01:21:20.050
and a second on the floor for approval and I'll call for a

01:21:20.050 --> 01:21:21.560
vote on the board

01:21:26.600 --> 01:21:35.109
the motion is going to carry six to zero and that is going

01:21:35.109 --> 01:21:37.680
to move us to our item

01:21:37.680 --> 01:21:41.930
C and we were going to reopen this and ask for a motion to

01:21:41.930 --> 01:21:43.720
continue I actually

01:21:43.720 --> 01:21:46.939
believe it's still open from last time so we're just going

01:21:46.939 --> 01:21:48.079
to continue it for a

01:21:48.079 --> 01:21:51.840
date certain okay thank you for the clarification so this

01:21:51.840 --> 01:21:53.420
item we left the

01:21:53.420 --> 01:21:57.020
public hearing open and we were asking for a motion for

01:21:57.020 --> 01:21:58.359
continuous to date

01:21:58.359 --> 01:22:00.760

01:22:37.680 --> 01:22:41.479
project matrix for this

01:22:41.479 --> 01:22:45.010
evening Commissioner Ellis thank you chair I think in light

01:22:45.010 --> 01:22:45.840

develop and we're going to continue to have similar

01:23:13.729 --> 01:23:15.000
concerns and yeah maybe we
