WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.899 Planning and Zoning Commission Work Session Meeting for 00:00:03.899 --> 00:00:06.160 Wednesday, May 23rd, 2018. 00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:09.800 This meeting has been duly posted and we do have a quorum 00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:13.119 present and will call us to order at 504. 00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:17.460 Our first order of business will be to receive 00:00:17.460 --> 00:00:20.480 clarification of agenda items. 00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:26.399 Looks like we don't have any minutes so we'll go straight 00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:28.000 to the consent agenda. 00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:30.960 Are there any questions on the consent agenda? 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:42.380 None. All right well that's easy. We'll move us to items 00:00:42.380 --> 00:00:45.119 for individual consideration. 00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:49.359 I will call on Haley for presentation of item 3a. 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:09.989 All right this is a final plat for the lot one of the 00:01:09.989 --> 00:01:11.200 retreat at Denton edition. 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.079 We saw the preliminary plat just a couple of weeks ago for 00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:14.400 this. 00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:18.079 The intended use of lot one as you may remember from a 00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.040 recent rezoning and sup is a multifamily. 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:24.329 It would be oriented for students. As a part of this plat 00:01:24.329 --> 00:01:26.480 the right of way for precision drive is 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:29.939 being dedicated to extend precision from its current termin 00:01:29.939 --> 00:01:32.079 us by Peterbilt further to the north all the 00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.879 way up to Oak Street. This is an item for individual 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.359 consideration because there is a condition on the 00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.840 plat approval. That condition being that civil engineering 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:42.959 plans for all public infrastructure 00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.569 necessary to serve the proposed development must be 00:01:45.569 --> 00:01:48.079 approved before the plat is filed. If any utility 00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.140 easement locations need to be modified as a result of that 00:01:51.140 --> 00:01:53.359 final civil engineering construction plan 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:55.989 review that staff would be able to approve those rather 00:01:55.989 --> 00:01:57.439 than bringing the plans back 00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:00.510 before the planning and zoning commission. I'd be happy to 00:02:00.510 --> 00:02:01.840 answer any questions. 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.359 Commissioner Rozelle. Thank you. This is outside probably 00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.920 the bounds of this discussion but is there 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:13.090 any plans to have a pedestrian walkway from that connecting 00:02:13.090 --> 00:02:16.400 to the other side of I-35. There's not 00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:20.789 any sidewalks obviously precision's not there but there's 00:02:20.789 --> 00:02:23.919 not any sidewalks under the underpass from 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:26.330 that property. There's sidewalks on the other side where 00:02:26.330 --> 00:02:28.080 the old bus station used to be. Is there any 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:31.620 plans to create a sidewalk there? None that I'm aware for 00:02:31.620 --> 00:02:34.080 connecting under that overpass. I believe 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.199 they have been in touch with DCTA. The developer has to try 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.280 to coordinate having some sort of bus 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:44.650 connectivity out to here and I believe UNT also may have 00:02:44.650 --> 00:02:48.560 plans for buses. Commissioner Ellis. 00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:51.389 Thank you chair. Actually Haley this is probably for Victor 00:02:51.389 --> 00:02:54.479 . So when we go to make a motion here 00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:57.360 can we just say per staff's recommendation or do we need to 00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.919 repeat what is written here? 00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:04.090 You have proposals for it to be varied off of staff's 00:03:04.090 --> 00:03:06.319 recommendation right? 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.759 No it would just be with that one condition about the civil 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:10.879 plan. So we can just say with 00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:13.840 with that we don't have to restate at all. Okay thanks. 00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:20.159 Any other questions on this item? 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:30.699 Okay we'll move us to our public hearings. Item A has been 00:03:30.699 --> 00:03:33.280 postponed. It's going to be 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.919 there's a request for no continuance. It'll just be re-not 00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:39.360 iced at a date in the future. 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:44.159 Same thing on item B. It will be re-noticed in the future. 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.530 So that will move us to item C and Haley will make that 00:03:48.530 --> 00:03:50.319 presentation for us. 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.280 All right this is a rezoning for fire station three. 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.159 So the request is to hold this public hearing and consider 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:03.840 a rezoning from downtown 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.949 residential one district which is shown on the top map to 00:04:07.949 --> 00:04:09.919 downtown commercial general as you can see 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.020 on the southern or the lower map here. The property is 00:04:13.020 --> 00:04:16.560 approximately 1.33 acres. It's located on the 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.319 south side of Underwood along Avenue A and what is 00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:21.839 currently McCormick Street. It's currently 00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:26.500 developed with fire station three. So fire stations under 00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:29.040 our code are a community service use 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.579 classification. The DR1 district doesn't permit this use 00:04:32.579 --> 00:04:34.959 currently. The fire station's been there 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:37.759 for longer than that zoning has been in place and it's 00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:39.759 currently considered a special exception. 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.050 The intent as you can see in the concept plan that we'll go 00:04:43.050 --> 00:04:44.399 over a little bit later 00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:48.860 is to enlarge the fire station and expand this development. 00:04:48.860 --> 00:04:50.720 So when they voluntarily demolish 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.079 the existing station it would lose that special exception 00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:54.639 status. So the rezoning is needed 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.230 to permit the future development of a new fire station as 00:04:58.230 --> 00:05:00.000 well as just to consolidate and clean 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.290 up the zoning so that the entire fire station property 00:05:02.290 --> 00:05:04.319 would have one zoning district moving forward. 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:08.379 So here's a little bit closer look at the property. You can 00:05:08.379 --> 00:05:10.720 see the current fire station there as well 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:14.769 as the vacant property to the west. Their concept plan 00:05:14.769 --> 00:05:17.680 would be the existing fire station would be 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:20.670 demolished. That current property that it's on would be 00:05:20.670 --> 00:05:23.279 developed with parking and a drive aisle. 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.240 The fire station itself would be relocated to that property 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.360 to the west. McCormick street is 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.170 intended to be formally abandoned in this area. The 00:05:32.170 --> 00:05:34.319 utilities that are in place under there would 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:37.129 remain in place within an easement and the only development 00:05:37.129 --> 00:05:38.879 on top of that would be this driveway. 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:45.769 Let's see. So the future land use for this property is 00:05:45.769 --> 00:05:47.680 actually commercial designation. You can see it's 00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.379 kind of a hybrid zone as we transition from commercial into 00:05:50.379 --> 00:05:52.240 this university compatibility area. 00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:55.829 Commercial is applicable along most of our highways. It's 00:05:55.829 --> 00:05:58.079 intended for auto-oriented uses. 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:01.500 Typically the properties designated as commercial are not 00:06:01.500 --> 00:06:03.839 suitable for residential or even mixed 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:07.089 use development because of that proximity to our major road 00:06:07.089 --> 00:06:09.279 ways. We found DCG to be consistent with 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.050 this future land use designation. It permits a wide variety 00:06:12.050 --> 00:06:13.519 of commercial and service uses 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:15.920 such as this at a more intensive scale than we would 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.160 typically see in our neighborhood areas. 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:18.879 So it felt that that was appropriate along the freeway in 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:22.639 this location. 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:27.300 To look at the compatibility of the rezoning, DCG would be 00:06:27.300 --> 00:06:30.639 an extension of existing DCG that exists 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:34.540 surrounding this property to the north and the west. The 00:06:34.540 --> 00:06:36.720 uses permitted within DCG would be 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.329 generally consistent with what's in this area already. 00:06:39.329 --> 00:06:41.199 Aside from the existing fire station, 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.790 we had a hotel that was recently demolished with the text 00:06:43.790 --> 00:06:46.000 outwidening. There's multifamily in this 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.100 area as well as a couple of fuel stations along the freeway 00:06:49.100 --> 00:06:49.360 . 00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:53.759 As I had mentioned, there are some existing utilities in 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:54.959 the McCormick Street right of way. 00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:57.629 Those would remain in place. There's also utilities to 00:06:57.629 --> 00:07:00.800 serve the property along Avenue A and Underwood. 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:07.399 Notification was sent about the request. We received one in 00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:08.800 opposition. That's the property 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:11.279 outlined here in red that was included in your backup. And 00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:12.959 before the meeting, I handed out 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.060 an additional response in favor of the request that I 00:07:15.060 --> 00:07:15.920 received today. 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:23.180 The staff is recommending approval. Based on our criteria 00:07:23.180 --> 00:07:23.519 for approval in the code, 00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:25.589 we found this to be consistent with the future land use 00:07:25.589 --> 00:07:27.920 designation under the Denton Plan 2030. 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:31.040 And we also found it to be compatible with the existing 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:32.480 uses and zoning in this area. 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.240 I'd be happy to answer any questions. 00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:35.120 Commissioner Smith. 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:39.040 Thank you, Chair. Give me one second as I look up. The 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.199 current height and the current zoning is 40 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:43.079 feet for the building height. I know whenever they did 00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.079 station two, the new station went upwards in 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:50.410 elevation. Is there a plan for station three in the remodel 00:07:50.410 --> 00:07:53.120 , the rebuild? Is it to go larger that 00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:56.569 way, go upwards? It might go a little bit taller. I haven't 00:07:56.569 --> 00:07:58.879 seen elevations for it recently to know 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.120 exactly what height they're proposing. But I believe it 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:02.240 will be a little bit taller than 00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:04.699 the current station. Just because the 40 feet in the 00:08:04.699 --> 00:08:07.920 current zoning and then 100 feet in the 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.819 proposed zoning, I don't think it affects neighborhoods. 00:08:11.819 --> 00:08:13.600 And it's obviously a good use. 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.850 It's really hard to fight against fire services. The 00:08:16.850 --> 00:08:18.319 building itself would be on the lot that's 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:21.399 already... Sure, of course. Just the increase in the height 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:23.199 , anything that might affect the way of 00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:25.470 neighborhoods and everything else. We got some of the 00:08:25.470 --> 00:08:27.680 assistance to bring up. So I just wanted 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:29.620 to know, see if there's anything planned in the cities. But 00:08:29.620 --> 00:08:30.480 okay, that's fine. 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:38.000 Commissioner Ellis. Thank you, Chair. Haley, just curious, 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:41.440 did the opposition give as to why? I 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:43.179 didn't see that in the backup just that they were opposed. 00:08:43.179 --> 00:08:44.480 Did you speak to them at all? I don't know 00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:47.230 if there's any rationale provided on that. Okay, I'm just 00:08:47.230 --> 00:08:51.440 curious. Thanks. Commissioner Rozelle. 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:53.899 Thank you, Chair. You said you haven't seen the elevations 00:08:53.899 --> 00:08:55.440 recently. Do you have access to the 00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:57.990 elevations? I believe they may have provided them at a pre- 00:08:57.990 --> 00:08:59.360 development meeting last year. 00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.600 With this rezoning, we just had those concept plans. But I 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:04.720 suspect they'll be submitting for 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.370 that site plan and replanting the property soon. Perfect. 00:09:07.370 --> 00:09:08.000 Thank you. 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.490 Commissioner Bet. Thank you, Chair. I just want to thank 00:09:12.490 --> 00:09:15.360 the staff for providing these affidavits 00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:18.639 for the site. The pictures and everything. Boy, it saved me 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.080 in a trip out there. So I do appreciate 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:28.600 that. It's good to see. Thank you. Okay, any other 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:33.679 questions on this item? 00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:41.179 Okay, that's going to move us to our public hearing item 4D 00:09:41.179 --> 00:09:44.480 . And I have a conflict of interest on this 00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:47.509 item. I'm a partner in the partnership that's developing 00:09:47.509 --> 00:09:50.080 this. And so I'm going to recuse myself 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.960 both during the work session and in our public session. And 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:55.519 I'll turn it over to Commissioner 00:09:55.519 --> 00:10:08.399 Rosell. Thank you, Chair. Haley, this one's yours as well. 00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:11.279 Now while that's loading, this is a replant that we saw 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.440 last week. There were some concerns about 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:17.149 the drainage note that was on the plant that has since been 00:10:17.149 --> 00:10:19.679 revised to clarify that the HOA will 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:23.580 be responsible, own and maintain the drainage areas with 00:10:23.580 --> 00:10:26.559 the exception of this lot 38, if you noticed 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.620 on the southern part of the property abutting Hercules, 00:10:30.620 --> 00:10:35.600 that lot 38 is intended to be sold to 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.279 DME for their power station that exists there currently. So 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.279 that lot would of course be 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:45.379 maintained by them once it is owned by them. And as with 00:10:45.379 --> 00:10:47.759 the other plat, there is a condition on our 00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.000 recommendation for this one as well relating to the civil 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.639 engineering plans. So I'll read that just 00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:55.629 for clarification. Civil engineering construction plans for 00:10:55.629 --> 00:10:57.519 all public infrastructure necessary to 00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:00.110 serve the proposed development must be approved before the 00:11:00.110 --> 00:11:01.840 plat is filed. If any utility easement 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.340 locations need to be modified as a result of the final 00:11:04.340 --> 00:11:06.320 civil engineering construction plans, 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:08.360 the development review committee approval should be 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:09.519 required prior to filing. 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:12.379 Be happy to answer any other questions you all may have on 00:11:12.379 --> 00:11:12.879 this. 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.159 Commissioner Ellis. Thank you, Vice Chair. Just to say 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:19.200 thank you for clarifying it. 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.320 That's well done on the notes and you can clearly 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.159 understand who is to maintain it. So thank you. 00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:34.309 Thank you, Haley. Clarification, can I just close out work 00:11:34.309 --> 00:11:35.440 session since that's the last item? 00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:40.509 At 5 16, we will close our work session and reconvene in 00:11:40.509 --> 00:11:44.080 council chambers at 6 30. 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:54.870 Good evening and welcome to the city didn't planning and 00:11:54.870 --> 00:12:00.879 zoning commission meeting for 00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:05.110 May the 23rd, 2018. This meeting has been duly posted and 00:12:05.110 --> 00:12:06.960 we do have a quorum present. 00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:10.600 Now we'll call us to order at 6 33. Our first order of 00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:12.960 business will be to stand and give the 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:16.960 pledge the US and Texas flag. 00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:46.960 Okay. 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.080 The next item on our agenda will be our consent agenda and 00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:57.200 the chair would entertain a motion. 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:00.480 Commissioner Smith. Okay. 00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:09.360 Commissioner Roselle. Second. Okay. Have a first and a 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:12.240 second for approval. Any further discussion? 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:16.960 Nope. Okay. We'll call for a vote on the board. 00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:32.159 Motion carries six to zero. That will move us to our items 00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:38.720 for individual consideration 00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:42.960 and I will call on Haley for presentation. 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:57.850 Good evening. This is a final plot for lot one of the 00:13:57.850 --> 00:14:00.879 retreated denton edition. This 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:03.909 plot is for property that's intended to be developed with a 00:14:03.909 --> 00:14:05.679 multifamily use as part of 00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:08.750 the plot. The right of way for the northern extension of 00:14:08.750 --> 00:14:10.559 precision drive is being dedicated 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:13.850 and staff is recommending approval of this plot with the 00:14:13.850 --> 00:14:15.600 condition that civil engineering 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:18.850 construction plans for all public infrastructure necessary 00:14:18.850 --> 00:14:20.799 to serve the proposed development be 00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:23.740 approved before the plot is filed. If any utility easement 00:14:23.740 --> 00:14:25.679 locations need to be moved as a result of 00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:28.409 final civil engineering construction plans, the development 00:14:28.409 --> 00:14:30.799 review committee approval shall be 00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:33.929 required on those easement locations prior to filing. I'd 00:14:33.929 --> 00:14:35.600 be happy to answer any specific 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:40.879 questions you may have about this. Any questions for Haley? 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:44.320 No? Okay. Thank you. 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:49.250 This is an item for individual consideration. If there's 00:14:49.250 --> 00:14:50.960 anyone who would like to speak on this 00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:59.120 item, you're welcome to. Seeing none. I don't know if the 00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:00.480 applicants here would like to speak 00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:05.419 on this item or not. No? Okay. Well, then we will open for 00:15:05.419 --> 00:15:07.360 discussion or motion. 00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:13.279 Commissioner Ellis. Thank you, chair. I will move to 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:14.960 approve with staff's recommendation. 00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:18.440 Okay. Commissioner Sanchez. Okay. We have a first and a 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:21.360 second for approval. Any further? 00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:24.200 Commissioner Beck. Sorry. Thank you, chair. I just wanted 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:25.840 to share with my fellow commissioners. I'm 00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:28.850 going to vote no on this. Technically, it meets all the 00:15:28.850 --> 00:15:31.360 criteria, but as you know, I oppose the 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:34.009 zone change for this. I thought it was a bad idea then. I 00:15:34.009 --> 00:15:35.919 still think it's a bad idea. So, as a 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:41.220 protest, I'm going to be voting no on this. Okay. Any other 00:15:41.220 --> 00:15:46.320 discussion? Okay. We have a 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:53.399 motion on the floor. First and a second. We'll call for a 00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:57.039 vote on the board for approval. 00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:05.179 Motion is going to carry five to one. That will move us to 00:16:05.179 --> 00:16:07.279 our public hearing section. 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:12.110 Our item A, this item has been postponed. There will be no 00:16:12.110 --> 00:16:14.080 continuance. It will be 00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:18.659 renoticed at some point in the future. Our item B, same 00:16:18.659 --> 00:16:21.679 thing. It has been postponed. 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:25.759 There is no continuance on it, and it will be renoticed at 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:26.799 some point in the future. 00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:32.519 That will move us to our item C. At this time, I'm going to 00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:36.879 open the public hearing for Z18-0006B, 00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:44.799 and I will call on Haley for a presentation. 00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:52.549 Good evening. This is rezoning for fire station number 00:16:52.549 --> 00:16:53.919 three. 00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:58.000 The request before you is to hold a public hearing and 00:16:58.000 --> 00:16:59.679 consider making a recommendation 00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:02.970 to a council regarding a request for rezoning from downtown 00:17:02.970 --> 00:17:04.960 residential one, which is the district 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:08.019 reflected on the top map, to downtown commercial general, 00:17:08.019 --> 00:17:10.000 which is reflected on the lower map. 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:14.539 The subject property is approximately 1.3 acres, located on 00:17:14.539 --> 00:17:15.920 the south side of Underwood Street 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:20.599 along Avenue A and McCormick. This site is currently 00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:22.880 developed with fire station three. 00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:25.460 In our zoning code, fire stations are considered a 00:17:25.460 --> 00:17:28.319 community service use. The downtown residential 00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:31.430 one district does not permit this use. The fire station 00:17:31.430 --> 00:17:33.759 predates our current zoning code and is 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:38.109 currently considered a special exception. The intent is to 00:17:38.109 --> 00:17:40.400 demolish the existing fire station 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:43.650 and redevelop this site along with the property directly to 00:17:43.650 --> 00:17:45.440 the west of it. Once that fire station 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:47.529 is voluntarily demolished, it will lose that special 00:17:47.529 --> 00:17:50.319 exception status. For them to redevelop 00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:52.880 and include anything related to the fire station on this 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:54.880 property, the rezoning is necessary. 00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:59.019 Rezoning to DCG will also consolidate the zoning across the 00:17:59.019 --> 00:18:00.799 entire property where the fire station 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.410 will be located in the future, which would just facilitate 00:18:03.410 --> 00:18:04.960 their development, having one set of 00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:08.599 standards to follow. Just a closer look at what's on the 00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:11.839 site currently, we have fire station one, 00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:14.900 McCormick Street, and then to the west is a vacant property 00:18:14.900 --> 00:18:16.480 that was formerly a hotel. 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:21.599 This is the concept plan for the fire station. As you can 00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:23.680 see, the right side of the screen is 00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:25.960 where the existing fire station is. That will be a parking 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:28.640 lot and a drive aisle. McCormick Street 00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:31.539 will be formally abandoned. The utilities will remain in 00:18:31.539 --> 00:18:33.519 place with an easement to allow access 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:37.160 to those. Then the new fire station will be reconstructed 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:38.880 on that lot to the west that I 00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:45.509 discussed earlier. In looking at our criteria for approval 00:18:45.509 --> 00:18:47.279 for this, the main criteria being 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:49.549 that it conforms to the future land use map within the Dent 00:18:49.549 --> 00:18:52.079 on Plan 2030. The future land 00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:54.630 use designation for the property is commercial. This is a 00:18:54.630 --> 00:18:57.519 designation intended for those commercial 00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:00.250 auto-oriented uses that are typical along highways like we 00:19:00.250 --> 00:19:01.440 have in this location. 00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:05.559 DCG we found to be consistent with this designation because 00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:06.960 it permits a very wide 00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:10.319 variety of commercial and service uses at a more intense 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:12.480 scale, such as taller height, 00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:15.069 more lot coverage that is typical along freeways. In 00:19:15.069 --> 00:19:19.200 looking at the compatibility of this request 00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:22.230 with the surrounding area, DCG would be a continuation and 00:19:22.230 --> 00:19:24.000 an extension of the DCG that 00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:26.470 exists in the area currently. It's shown in the darker 00:19:26.470 --> 00:19:28.559 green on the map, so we have DCG to the 00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:32.220 north and west of this property. The uses permitted within 00:19:32.220 --> 00:19:34.319 DCG are generally consistent with the 00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:37.609 mixture that we have in this area currently. Not just the 00:19:37.609 --> 00:19:39.680 fire station, there's also multi-family 00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:43.119 in this area as well as fuel stations along the freeway. 00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:47.920 Looking at the infrastructure that's in 00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:51.170 place, you can see utilities available surrounding the 00:19:51.170 --> 00:19:53.599 property, so no concerns there were identified. 00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:56.480 As I mentioned McCormick Street, it is actually a 00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:59.200 resolution has been passed by council to close 00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:02.650 that street when necessary and it will be abandoned as this 00:20:02.650 --> 00:20:05.119 development proceeds if the rezoning is 00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:09.279 approved. A notification was sent about the request. We 00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:11.599 received one opposition and one 00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:15.740 favorable response. Those are highlighted on the map. Staff 00:20:15.740 --> 00:20:18.640 is recommending approval of the request. 00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:21.059 We found this to meet our criteria for approval being that 00:20:21.059 --> 00:20:22.720 it's consistent with the future land 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.079 use map and generally compatible with the zoning and uses 00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:28.400 in the surrounding area. I'd be happy to 00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:30.990 answer any questions. Do you have a question? Commissioner 00:20:30.990 --> 00:20:32.720 Beck. Thank you, Chair. Hey, just 00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:36.660 curious, is the city going to put out on their means of ing 00:20:36.660 --> 00:20:39.599 ress and egress on Underwood and Avenue 00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:43.690 any flashing lights warning when they have a... Not aware 00:20:43.690 --> 00:20:46.640 of that at this point. Wasn't any plans to do that? 00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:48.680 Right now we just have that concept plan. I believe they're 00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:50.160 finalizing the site plan, so they would 00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:52.470 have those things planned in a little further detail a 00:20:52.470 --> 00:20:54.640 little more down the road. Just curious. Thank you. 00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:58.400 Hey, there's a follow-up to Commissioner Becks. Will that I 00:20:58.400 --> 00:20:59.839 assume at some point this will be 00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:02.880 replatted into one lot probably? That is the intent. And so 00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:05.440 when it comes back for probably replat 00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:07.490 some of those questions? Yeah, we may know a little bit 00:21:07.490 --> 00:21:09.599 more detail about the site plan at that point. 00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:15.609 Great. Commissioner Sanchez. The exits for the fire engines 00:21:15.609 --> 00:21:18.240 will be off onto Underwood, is that 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:23.509 correct? And onto Avenue A? Is that where they'll be... If 00:21:23.509 --> 00:21:27.200 they have to go out in an emergency, 00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:30.140 they'll come out... Which will be the main road they'll be 00:21:30.140 --> 00:21:32.400 using? Because this morning when I drove 00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:35.990 up by Underwood, they're building the apartment complex 00:21:35.990 --> 00:21:37.599 right there, and there was a whole bunch 00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:40.460 of cars parked on the side of the road. I was just curious, 00:21:40.460 --> 00:21:42.079 is there going to be any kind of 00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:48.460 designation where people can't park on Underwood is being 00:21:48.460 --> 00:21:51.440 the fact that that would 00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:54.069 may block some of those fire engines going in and out? I'm 00:21:54.069 --> 00:21:57.200 not aware at this point of any intent to 00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:00.500 establish no parking zones on Underwood. I believe the flow 00:22:00.500 --> 00:22:02.559 of traffic would be coming in off of 00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:05.130 Underwood, because they do have their public parking in the 00:22:05.130 --> 00:22:06.880 dumpster located on this side of the site, 00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:09.289 and then the trucks would primarily exit onto Avenue A. 00:22:09.289 --> 00:22:11.359 Okay. Is my understanding of how the 00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:18.769 flow would work as it's proposed here? Any other questions 00:22:18.769 --> 00:22:20.480 for Haley? 00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:27.119 Thank you, Haley. This is a public hearing. Anyone who 00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:28.319 would like to speak on this item, 00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:29.519 please come forward at this time. 00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:38.869 Anyone want to speak on this item? Seeing none, I'll close 00:22:38.869 --> 00:22:39.599 the public hearing. 00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:42.880 Commissioner Smith. I have a question for the applicant, if 00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:43.359 he's present. 00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.799 Hello all. I'm Brad Lehman with MJ Thomas Engineering, 3973 00:22:56.799 --> 00:22:58.160 West Vickery Boulevard, 00:22:58.160 --> 00:23:02.890 Fort Worth, 76107, or the Civil. Great, thank you. Site 00:23:02.890 --> 00:23:05.839 plan now, or the conceptual that you 00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:09.089 guys do have, height of the building, the new proposed 00:23:09.089 --> 00:23:11.839 zoning would increase up to 100 feet, 00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:14.779 as where it's currently zoned, it's 40 feet maximum. Do you 00:23:14.779 --> 00:23:16.799 guys have a rough estimate on 00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:19.569 height of the building when you guys re- The height of the 00:23:19.569 --> 00:23:21.920 building will be limited at 30 foot. 00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:26.859 Perfect, thank you. Any other questions for the applicant? 00:23:26.859 --> 00:23:27.680 Well, is it the mic? 00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:37.839 Okay, thank you, sir. We've closed the public hearing. So, 00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:39.039 Commissioner Beck. 00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:46.559 I move we approve Z180006B. Okay, Commissioner Rozelle. 00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:50.160 Second. Okay, we have a first and a second for approval. 00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:51.279 Any further discussion? 00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:56.000 Seeing none, I'll call for a vote on the board. 00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:08.500 Motion carries six to zero. I will move us to our item D on 00:24:08.500 --> 00:24:15.920 our agenda. I have a conflict of 00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:19.170 interest on this item. I am a partner in this partnership 00:24:19.170 --> 00:24:21.039 that owns this piece of property, 00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:23.930 and so at this time I'm going to recuse myself and I will 00:24:23.930 --> 00:24:25.759 turn the meeting over to the vice 00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:30.869 chair, Commissioner Rozelle. Thank you, chair. I will open 00:24:30.869 --> 00:24:34.880 the public hearing for FR17-0024A 00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:47.440 and ask Haley for presentation. Good evening. This is a 00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:49.680 final replat for the Beale Way addition. 00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:52.740 The property is generally located on the west side of Loc 00:24:52.740 --> 00:24:55.119 ust. Beale Way will be extended along 00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:57.430 the north perimeter of the property. Hercules runs along 00:24:57.430 --> 00:24:59.119 the southern boundary of the property. 00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:03.700 This is a replat of what was formerly La Hacienda Heights 00:25:03.700 --> 00:25:06.160 subdivision. The eastern part of this 00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:10.259 property was once plotted for residential development that 00:25:10.259 --> 00:25:12.720 just never occurred. So, 00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:15.420 when those plans fell through, this subdivision was 00:25:15.420 --> 00:25:17.279 proposed so it would be a replat of that 00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:20.529 existing subdivision and also take in unplatted land on the 00:25:20.529 --> 00:25:22.240 western side of the property. 00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:26.490 Just a little bit of a description about the property. It's 00:25:26.490 --> 00:25:27.759 intended for single-family 00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:31.660 development. The lots are generally 50 by 120 feet on 00:25:31.660 --> 00:25:34.480 average, about 6,000 square feet in size. 00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:37.160 The applicant did hold a neighborhood meeting. They 00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:40.079 reported that they had 12 to 16 residents 00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:43.730 from the surrounding area in attendance at that meeting. 00:25:43.730 --> 00:25:45.920 Staff is recommending approval of this 00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:48.660 plant with a condition similar to the one we had earlier. 00:25:48.660 --> 00:25:50.880 Civil engineering construction plans for 00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:53.140 all public infrastructure necessary to serve the 00:25:53.140 --> 00:25:55.519 development must be approved before the plot is 00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:58.869 filed. If any easement locations need to be modified as a 00:25:58.869 --> 00:26:01.279 result of those finalized engineering plans, 00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:03.730 the development review committee would approve those prior 00:26:03.730 --> 00:26:04.880 to filing so the plot wouldn't have 00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:07.680 to return to this board for consideration for minor 00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:10.000 adjustments. I'd be happy to answer any 00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:12.079 other questions you have about this and I believe the 00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:15.519 applicant is also here. I do not see any 00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.269 questions. Thank you, Haley. This is a public hearing. If 00:26:18.269 --> 00:26:19.759 anyone wishes to speak, you may do 00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:22.809 so by filling out a card. I do have one card. It's the 00:26:22.809 --> 00:26:26.720 applicant, Lee Allison. Mr. Allison, 00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:31.720 your complete group has up to 20 minutes to present if 00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:34.319 needed. Hopefully I can do it in less than two. 00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:37.019 Good evening. I'm Lee Allison with Allison Engineering 00:26:37.019 --> 00:26:39.039 Group representing the applicant. David 00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:42.380 Marks, one of the owners, is here with me this evening. H 00:26:42.380 --> 00:26:44.319 aley mentioned a couple of things and 00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:47.930 I'd like to add some clarifications. This is a single- 00:26:47.930 --> 00:26:51.359 family residential development with homes 00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:55.029 generally in the 6 or lots generally in the 6,000 square 00:26:55.029 --> 00:26:56.640 feet and up. It might be a few a little 00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:00.539 larger. I'd say our average is easily 6,000 square feet. 00:27:00.539 --> 00:27:02.400 The price range of these homes will be in 00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:08.569 the 225,000 to 325,000. Typically entry-level homes are 00:27:08.569 --> 00:27:12.559 running $140 a square foot. I won't rule out 00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:16.019 the possibility of some homes in the 190,000 to 200,000 00:27:16.019 --> 00:27:17.680 range, but you're going to be looking 00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:21.210 at 1,400 square foot homes, something of that nature. I 00:27:21.210 --> 00:27:23.359 think some of the confusion came because 00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:27.970 the seller of this property was also a client of mine. At 00:27:27.970 --> 00:27:30.319 that time, we were working on some 00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.750 townhome concepts for him. Never really got in front of the 00:27:33.750 --> 00:27:35.839 city other than pre-design meetings, 00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:39.250 but I think the all-seeing, all-knowing Google discovered 00:27:39.250 --> 00:27:41.599 some of those documents and rumors got 00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:44.079 out around the neighbors that we were looking at townhomes 00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:46.000 or apartments over there, which we had 00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:49.900 with the previous client. That is absolutely not the case 00:27:49.900 --> 00:27:52.559 at this time. Another question came up in 00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:54.970 the neighborhood meeting had to do with the construction of 00:27:54.970 --> 00:27:57.279 Hercules Street, and we pointed 00:27:57.279 --> 00:28:00.710 out that Evers Way had been sitting there for years, and 00:28:00.710 --> 00:28:03.119 this client picked it up. They're moving 00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:06.440 forward. Hercules, well, actually the city had started 00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:08.799 planning and preparing for the construction 00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:12.450 of Hercules. The developments came along, so the developers 00:28:12.450 --> 00:28:14.640 ended up taking over the lead on 00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:19.000 Hercules. Since this is a perimeter street for both Evers 00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:21.200 Way and Beale Way, this is getting 00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:23.920 constructed, but instead of doing the second house half 00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:26.160 later with Beale's, we're constructing the 00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:29.730 entire length, entire width of Hercules Street with the E 00:28:29.730 --> 00:28:32.640 vers Way process, which is in advance of Beale 00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:36.869 Way, of which Beale Way is dedicating some of the right-of- 00:28:36.869 --> 00:28:39.599 way for. It's kind of a joint venture 00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:42.579 effort between the city and one developer on two different 00:28:42.579 --> 00:28:44.880 development projects. Hercules Road is 00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:48.809 getting constructed up front. We do not know of any plans 00:28:48.809 --> 00:28:50.880 at this time to have a light at the 00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:54.400 corner of Hercules and Locus. That is a tech stock 00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:57.680 controlled road, so that is subject to a warrant 00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:01.089 study and beyond our control. We have coordinated turn 00:29:01.089 --> 00:29:04.799 lanes, waterline adjustments, etc. Another 00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:07.869 big question was what's going to happen to that big area 00:29:07.869 --> 00:29:10.079 underneath the power lines? Many of the 00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:13.420 neighbors would like to see that be a city park. We had 00:29:13.420 --> 00:29:15.599 presented that to the city for that 00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:19.000 possibility, but the Parks Department had no desire for 00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:21.279 additional land at this point in time, 00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:24.269 even for soccer fields or practice or anything else. It 00:29:24.269 --> 00:29:27.599 will be a common area lot in a homeowner's 00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:31.500 association. I think you discovered last night, or last 00:29:31.500 --> 00:29:33.359 couple of weeks, we cleaned up some 00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:37.400 language regarding the maintenance. That's really about all 00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:39.440 I have, unless you have questions. 00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:44.289 I took a little over three minutes, not quite two. We have 00:29:44.289 --> 00:29:46.640 a question. Commissioner Beck. 00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:49.769 Thank you, Vice Chair. Thanks, Lee. I appreciate the 00:29:49.769 --> 00:29:54.079 information shared there, because I look 00:29:54.079 --> 00:29:57.329 forward to seeing this development go forward. I'm glad to 00:29:57.329 --> 00:29:58.880 see that area that's just been 00:29:58.880 --> 00:30:01.180 bearing so long finally filled up, and I think this is a 00:30:01.180 --> 00:30:03.200 good project for it. But I'm also delighted 00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:06.700 to finally see Hercules making its way all the way across 00:30:06.700 --> 00:30:08.799 there to make an easy access from 00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:11.390 point A to point B, where it was harder before. So I'm 00:30:11.390 --> 00:30:13.759 definitely planning on voting for this one. 00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:17.519 Very good. I don't see any other questions. Thank you. 00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:18.079 Thank you very much. 00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:21.359 This is a public hearing. Does anyone else wish to speak? 00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:22.160 You may do so. 00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:26.950 Seeing none, I will close the public hearing and open for a 00:30:26.950 --> 00:30:29.119 motion or discussion. 00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:32.519 Commissioner Smith. A motion for approval with staff 00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:33.519 conditions. 00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:36.799 Commissioner Ellis. Thank you, Vice Chair. Second. 00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:40.079 We have a first and a second. Seeing no discussion items, I 00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:42.160 will call us for a vote on the board. 00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:59.980 The motion passes 5-0 with one recusal. Thank you. Then I 00:30:59.980 --> 00:31:04.319 'll move us on to 00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:14.160 agenda item five, and I'll call the chair back in. 00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:44.160 Welcome. 00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.470 That will conclude our public hearing section, and this 00:31:48.470 --> 00:31:50.640 will move us to our project matrix. 00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:56.079 Commissioner Ellis. Thank you, Chair. 00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:59.599 Just a couple things. First of all, thank you, thank you, 00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:01.119 thank you for the information 00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:04.079 with regarding signage and the way it appears in our backup 00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:07.119 . Love it. Thank you. Thank you very much. 00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:12.339 Issue I'd like to put in, it has to do with the sewer 00:32:12.339 --> 00:32:16.720 downtown at like the Hickory Street industrial 00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:20.619 area. I have gotten several complaints from business owners 00:32:20.619 --> 00:32:22.480 , have experienced it myself 00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:27.170 working down there, the horrible smell often throughout the 00:32:27.170 --> 00:32:30.079 evening down there. I guess I 00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:33.329 want to try to understand what is the city's maintenance 00:32:33.329 --> 00:32:35.440 with regard to that? Does it need to 00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:39.819 be looked at? Do these business owners have an avenue with 00:32:39.819 --> 00:32:42.480 which they can make a complaint? 00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:47.700 It's terrible for business down there. Something's not, to 00:32:47.700 --> 00:32:50.319 me, not functioning right. I don't know if 00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:53.289 I can get information or a work session to know how things 00:32:53.289 --> 00:32:56.400 are maintained there. I'd appreciate it. 00:32:56.400 --> 00:33:00.720 I'll get a response. Okay. Thank you. Commissioner Roselle. 00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:02.319 Thank you, Chair. I would just 00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:06.359 ask that at work session upcoming, can we get clarification 00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:08.799 on what's going to happen with 00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:11.759 the situation that happened two weeks ago with the agenda 00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:14.720 item where there's legal confusion on 00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:17.980 what happens when there's a 3-3 tie that will seemingly 00:33:17.980 --> 00:33:20.400 forever be a 3-3 tie? Just because it 00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:23.450 seemed like there was maybe a legal interpretation of the 00:33:23.450 --> 00:33:25.440 intent of the rule. I don't know if 00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:27.490 city ordinances can update that. I know Victor and I had 00:33:27.490 --> 00:33:28.559 sidebarred with that, but 00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:31.789 maybe just an update so the commissioners know what happens 00:33:31.789 --> 00:33:33.119 in those situations. 00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:40.730 So on that, we are working, I think, to propose, along with 00:33:40.730 --> 00:33:42.640 Clarion, maybe drafting something 00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:48.660 or sooner within the DDC or, like Richard was saying, maybe 00:33:48.660 --> 00:33:50.960 earlier to make that clarification 00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:54.960 specific to this board. This board adopts the council's 00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:58.400 rules, and so maybe it appeared that 00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:01.279 in this case, maybe there should have been a special rule 00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:04.240 about these recommendations going 00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:07.809 forward to council. So staff's working on it, and it'll be 00:34:07.809 --> 00:34:09.440 coming up. Thank you. 00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:16.880 Any other items for our project matrix? Go ahead. 00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:18.800 Just wanted to give a quick update because I know we've 00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:19.840 talked about the tree code 00:34:20.800 --> 00:34:24.050 before. We did present, staff presented at the committee on 00:34:24.050 --> 00:34:26.079 the environment this past Monday, 00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:29.980 just some overall policy questions. So we're going to be 00:34:29.980 --> 00:34:31.760 taking a draft back to the committee 00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:36.530 within 30 days, and then after that, it'll be coming back 00:34:36.530 --> 00:34:38.880 to the commission. What I will do, 00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:42.199 though, is as soon as that draft is given to the committee, 00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:43.920 I'll make sure that everyone 00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:46.159 gets a copy, too. I'm just going to email it directly to 00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:47.519 you. I won't wait to include it as 00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:50.409 part of the matrix, and once it's done, you'll have it in 00:34:50.409 --> 00:34:56.400 advance. Great. Perfect. Anybody else? 00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:04.809 Okay. With that, we will close at 6.55. Thank you, everyone 00:35:04.809 --> 00:35:04.960 . 00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:13.860 [ Silence ]
