That's where we are now, and we're going to be working on that in the next couple of weeks.

Good evening, Commission. Carina Maldonado, Transportation Planner. The item before you tonight is a final plat for Pebblebrook Parkside. As you might remember, this came before you as a specific use permit that was approved and then a preliminary plat. Staff was previously recommending denial as they still had some comments outstanding from their civil engineering plan set. However, they have addressed all those comments, and so staff is now recommending approval of this request. And I can stand for any questions. Commissioner McDade? Yeah. I have quite a few questions, but I'm curious because I wasn't here at the first meeting of this, but I'm curious as to, well, first off, I know you're recommending approval, but I'm trying to wrap my head around it, but the first is location. This has, to me, this is probably the worst place you can put an apartment complex. But the simple fact is, just from McKinney to this alone, we have over 8,000 apartments on that location at one of the most dangerous intersections that I've ever seen. And I know, I'm more curious as to where the roads are in this apartment complex. I mean, where are the entrances and exits on this complex? This project has a main driveway at Dutchess, so a full access driveway, as well as a secondary driveway on the north side of the site, and I could pull the site plan back up just to show you, yeah, so right here where my mouse is, is the northern driveway access. That is a right in, right out, or it's a three-fourth access, so someone could turn into the site via hooded left turn and then right in, right out. However, I do have to point out that this was approved by council as a specific use permit, so with the plat, they met all the criteria for our, as it relates to the DEC, so we're, in this case, we're obligated to recommend approval. I understand, I understand. I was just curious, I wasn't here when it came through the first time, but when I saw it come up, I just had a lot of questions, but I'm not going to wait and just end it there. Okay. Any other questions for staff? We can't see commission approved, so commission approved, if you have any questions, feel free to ask, but there we go. Okay. I see none. Thank you, Karina. Thank you, Karina. Appreciate it. Turn the motion to the dais for motion, discussion. We have a recommendation for an approval, a motion, or any type of discussion. Commissioner Villarreal? I move to approve the plat. Okay. I hear a second. Okay. The chair will move, second. That I'll take vote via roll call. Before I do so, I will just remind everyone that as commissioners, I'm planning a zoning commission. We've had this discussion before. Final plat approvals are something that, unless we can point out a technical deficiency in the DDC, that we are called to by state, Texas local government code to vote in approval of the actual project. Just a quick reminder before we get to voting. So with that, call the roll call, commissioner McDade. I guess my better interest, I'll vote aye. Commissioner Anderson? Aye. Commissioner Villarreal? Aye. Commissioner Cole? Aye. Commissioner Pruitt? Aye. And the chair has also an aye that passes 6-0. Okay. Moving on to item 4B, FP 22-0008. This is Cameron Robertson to present. Good evening commissioners. Let me share my screen real quick. Can everyone see the screen? Okay. There we go. So this is the final plat for BP Chill Storage, which is located generally north of Corbin Road, just west of I-35. Staff is recommending denial as they still have a few comments that they need to address. However, staff has no objection to the requested extension to the May 11, 2022 P&Z meeting. And I can stand for any questions. Commissioner Anderson? I make a motion to approve the extension to date, certain of May 11. Okay. Got a motion. Second. Commissioner Cole? Second. With a motion and a second, turn discussion for any discussion. Okay. I think it will be a roll call. Commissioner McDade? Aye. Commissioner Anderson? Aye. Commissioner Villarreal? Aye. Commissioner Cole? Aye. Commissioner Cronin? Aye. Commissioner Pruitt? Aye. The chair is on. The vice chair is also an aye. That passes 6-0. Moving on to item 4C, FP 22-0009, presented by Julie Wyatt. Good evening. Good evening. Okay, Julie Wyatt, senior planner with the City of Denton, and I have a final plait before you tonight. It's for two commercial lots on the south side of University. They do have some items that they do need to work through to correct to get to an approvable state. But they, we do, they've requested an extension and staff has no opposition to an extension to the May 11th meeting. And with that concludes my presentation. Okay. Any questions for staff? Okay. If not, I'll hear a motion for a motion or discussion. Commissioner Cole? I move to move to the May 11th meeting. Motion for an extension to May 11th. Second? Commissioner Anderson? Yes. Second. Okay. The motion is second. I'll take a vote via roll call. Commissioner McDade? Aye. Commissioner Anderson? Aye. Commissioner Villarreal? Aye. Commissioner Cole? Aye. Commissioner Pruitt? Aye. And the vice chair is also an aye. That passes 6-0. Item 4D, FP 22-0010, and this is going to be Lisa Payne. I am not Lisa, but I'm stepping in for Lisa. Let me share my screen real quick. I think we were having technical issues earlier as well. So I don't have a presentation. Let me try one more time. I am unable to share the presentation, but I'll go ahead and describe the plat. It is for a final plat, page edition. The applicant, unfortunately, is not able to address all the comments at this time. Therefore, staff is recommending denial. However, staff is not in objection to their request for an extension to May 11th. Okay. Thank you, Ron. Questions for staff? I'll take a motion. Commissioner Villarreal? I move to approve the extension to a date certain of May 11th. The motion is second. Commissioner Anderson? Second. The motion is second, turn of the days for discussion and roll call vote. Commissioner McNead? Aye. Commissioner Anderson? Aye. Commissioner Villarreal? Aye. Commissioner Colle? Aye. Commissioner Pruitt? Aye. And vice chair is also an aye, that passes 6-0. Next item for unadmit items of individual consideration, item 4EFR21-0011B. Ron Magida, oh my gosh, you look a lot like Lisa. Go ahead. Hopefully I look better. Good evening, Chair, members of the commission, Ron Magida, principal planner. Unfortunately, I'm not able to share my presentation. However, the subject item for your consideration is for a final reply for Eagle Creek phase 2B. It is part of the Eagle Creek development, one of the phases. Earlier this week, staff was able to work with the applicant to address the outstanding comments. The recommendation for denial has been changed to a recommendation for approval and I'll stand for any questions. Okay. Any questions for Ron? To make clarification, it was noticed in public, it was noticed and published in the agenda that it was a denial with an extension, but it will be being moved forward as an approval. All items have been met. So with that, I'll take a motion for the dais. Commissioner Anderson? I make a motion to approve. Commissioner Colle? I second. Motion and a second, I'll take a vote via roll call. Commissioner McDade? Aye. Commissioner Anderson? Aye. Commissioner Villarreal? Aye. Commissioner Colle? Aye. Commissioner Pruitt? Aye. Vice Chair is also an aye and that item passes 6-0. That'll move us on to item five, which will be the planning and zoning commission matrix on turnover to Haley. All right, good evening. No updates on the matrix beyond what was published with your packet, but I did want to give you some updates from city council at their last meeting. They did hold the work session regarding the area plan prioritization. They generally agreed with the commission's ranking and their top three were for southeast Denton, northeast Denton, and the downtown update. So staff is working towards getting the budget together and all the things to get a request out on the street for proposals for those top two priorities to see how we can move those forward possibly concurrently. If not, we'll be figuring out how to address those with the upcoming budget year. And then the council did approve the plan development for the Love First community village that you all heard recently. With that, I'm happy to take any feedback you all have on the matrix or other requests. I do know that you had two work session items that are coming up next meeting. Do you want to address those as well? Correct. We will be starting a little bit earlier at our next meeting, we'll have the fiscal impact analysis tool to show you all at the work session, as well as the item that's been lingering on the matrix for a while regarding opt-in notification. So Charlie Rosendahl will be here to address both of those at the work session. Great. Any items? Any other pieces to bring up for the matrix from the commission? Okay. So you know, I moved to concluding items just for a quick second. Welcome Angie. Haley told me your last name and I cannot pronounce it, I'm not good at that. So welcome. Glad to have you. Glad to be fully staffed. With that, I will come I will adjourn our meeting at 644. Everyone have a great night.
