I just want to give the commission a couple updates. Yesterday during City Council, there were two items on the public hearing item. That is, one was a specific use permit for Pathway Woodrow Lane. That item was postponed to a date certain of June 28th. There City Council. So that was postponed. The second item was the RM squared den track, which originally came to the Planning and Zoning Commission as a zoning change from RR to LI. Through the discussions from P&Z and subsequent discussions with the community, the item turned into a PD. So the City Council considered a PD/LI zoning district, and that was approved 7-0 as well, or 7-0. A couple, two more items on my list here is just want to let the commission know that we have area plans moving along. One of the first one is the Northeast Den Area Plan. The RFQ is actually published right now and hoping to get some responses in the next couple weeks. We hope to start that discussion and selection process. Hopefully by August, September, we'll have that process started. Having that, we also have the Southeast Den Area Plan that is. We're also going to be publishing an RFQ for that, and that's going to be later this month, and hopefully again, October is when that is set to begin with that process. So again, area plans are coming up later part of this year. So that's all I have. That's excellent, Rob. Good to hear. Is there anything to add to the matrix? No? Okay. Any concluding items? I do not see anything. Commissioner Smith, was that a hand or you're good? Okay. All right. Well, with that, I will adjourn us at 6.44 p.m. Commissioner Smith, thanks for joining us. Thank you all.
