00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:25.160 so we'll get right into clarification 00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:28.000 of our agenda for this evening. 00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:31.720 Our first item on the agenda is the minutes 00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:34.000 from September 14th. 00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:37.040 Are there any corrections, discussions, 00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:39.520 any needs for changes to the minutes? 00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:45.760 Okay, we'll go to items for individual consideration. 00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:49.720 3A is FP 220030. 00:00:49.720 --> 00:00:52.200 Hi Angie. 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:53.760 - Hi, good evening everyone. 00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:55.760 Angie Mingler, Senior Planner. 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:04.000 This is a, sorry, keyboard issues. 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:11.040 This is a final plot for Summerwell Denton. 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.000 2B, it is approximately 14 acre 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.320 plot for multifamily development on the west side 00:01:17.320 --> 00:01:19.880 of Mayhill, 1400 feet south of Spencer Road. 00:01:19.880 --> 00:01:21.880 At this time, staff is recommending denial 00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:23.120 of the final plot. 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:25.880 However, we have no objections to the one-time extension, 00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:29.560 which could be granted to a date certain of October 26th. 00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:30.400 - Great. 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.440 Questions, Angie? 00:01:33.440 --> 00:01:36.600 Thank you very much. 00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:41.720 We'll go to 3B, FP 220029. 00:01:41.720 --> 00:01:42.720 Hello, Julie. 00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:45.600 - Good evening, Julie Wyatt, Senior Planner 00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:46.880 with the City of Denton. 00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:51.880 This is for a replat of the Loves Travel Stop addition. 00:01:51.880 --> 00:01:55.320 It is to incorporate property that was not previously 00:01:55.320 --> 00:01:57.720 platted into the site in order to accommodate 00:01:57.720 --> 00:01:59.640 text-dot widening. 00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.000 They have some items that they need to correct 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.840 on the plot, so we are recommending denial. 00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.160 But we have no objection to their requested 00:02:07.160 --> 00:02:08.320 one-time extension. 00:02:08.320 --> 00:02:10.120 I'll be happy to answer any questions. 00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.160 - Anything for Julie on this one? 00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:17.000 Thank you, Julie. 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:21.680 But you are gonna take us to 3C right now, FP 220031. 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.280 - So this is a final plot for the Vintage Ranch. 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:25.400 You may remember this one. 00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:28.800 It was for a multi, a PD amendment was approved for this 00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.720 for a multifamily development in recent memory. 00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:34.600 They have a preliminary plot approved. 00:02:34.600 --> 00:02:37.840 They are moving forward with their final plot. 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:39.640 They've got some items that they need to address, 00:02:39.640 --> 00:02:41.480 and so staff is recommending denial. 00:02:41.480 --> 00:02:44.840 However, we have no objection to their requested extension 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:46.600 to October 26th. 00:02:46.600 --> 00:02:47.800 - Great. 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:49.400 Questions for Julie on this one? 00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:53.520 Thank you very much. 00:02:54.320 --> 00:02:58.880 Let's go to 3DZCP 220033. 00:02:58.880 --> 00:03:00.040 Hi Mia, how are you? 00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:01.880 - I'm good, good evening, everyone. 00:03:01.880 --> 00:03:06.320 It's not a plaque. 00:03:06.320 --> 00:03:10.320 Sorry to throw on this off of our regular. 00:03:10.320 --> 00:03:14.840 Okay, so this is a zoning compliance plan 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:16.840 for a medical office building 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:20.440 in the Razor Ranch South mixed use district. 00:03:20.440 --> 00:03:21.960 Of course, this is coming before this body 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.440 as all zoning compliance plans 00:03:24.440 --> 00:03:27.080 non in these Razor Ranch South campus 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:28.360 has to be reviewed and approved 00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:30.000 by the planning and zoning commission. 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.720 It was checked for the per the criteria 00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:34.160 and the Razor Ranch overlay ordinance 00:03:34.160 --> 00:03:35.680 and staff is recommending approval 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:37.280 of that site plan at this time. 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.600 - Questions for me on this one? 00:03:40.600 --> 00:03:43.120 I had one I just had made a note of. 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.520 So since this is their site plan, 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.720 we do have in our backup conceptual building elevations. 00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:55.120 So that doesn't mean they have to decide then 00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:56.480 on it right now? 00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:00.400 - So the conceptual is submitted and reviewed 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:02.760 in order to check some of the general criteria 00:04:02.760 --> 00:04:07.160 and namely we have like elevation break requirements 00:04:07.160 --> 00:04:08.680 that said that you have to have a certain amount 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:13.680 of projections and recesses in order to avoid monotony 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:17.720 or just to break up that relief, 00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:19.520 provide that relief, break up those facades. 00:04:19.520 --> 00:04:21.840 And so it's to check stuff like that. 00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:24.080 As far as like the specifics though 00:04:24.080 --> 00:04:26.520 for building, lighting, stuff like that, 00:04:26.520 --> 00:04:28.320 those are checked at the building permit level. 00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:30.720 So it's really just it's conceptual 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:34.640 and generally sticking to that is what we check for 00:04:34.640 --> 00:04:35.960 when the zoning compliance plan. 00:04:35.960 --> 00:04:39.080 - That was mainly, it's just that word seemed weird to me 00:04:39.080 --> 00:04:41.680 just because they do have to follow so much with overlay. 00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.520 So I was just, it seemed odd that, 00:04:44.520 --> 00:04:48.760 oh, here's our concept, but are they gonna change 00:04:48.760 --> 00:04:51.520 outside of what is allowed? 00:04:51.520 --> 00:04:53.720 - There's certain things as with framing 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.120 and structuring and stuff that might end up changing 00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:57.960 one thing here or there, but conceptually, 00:04:57.960 --> 00:04:59.840 this is what you would be looking at. 00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:02.320 - And they would still be falling into the overlay district. 00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:05.080 - Correct, yes ma'am. - Okay, very good, thank you. 00:05:05.080 --> 00:05:06.860 Any other questions on this one? 00:05:06.860 --> 00:05:11.400 Thank you very much. 00:05:11.400 --> 00:05:13.000 All right, then we are gonna, 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:17.120 you're staying right up here for 3E PP220023. 00:05:19.760 --> 00:05:24.760 This is a preliminary plat for the Blue Horseshoe Edition 00:05:24.760 --> 00:05:27.800 located just west of I-35. 00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:31.520 They are, they have a few things that they need to address 00:05:31.520 --> 00:05:33.200 and so staff is recommending denial 00:05:33.200 --> 00:05:34.040 of this plat at this time. 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:35.720 However, we do not have any objection 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:38.680 to the requested extension to October 26th. 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:42.240 - Great, any questions on this one? 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:48.840 Okay, and I believe I heard that 3F has been withdrawn. 00:05:48.840 --> 00:05:49.840 - Correct. - Okay. 00:05:49.840 --> 00:05:53.920 So we will not be taking action on 3F tonight, 00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:58.880 which takes us to our public hearing then. 00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:01.520 4A has been withdrawn. 00:06:01.520 --> 00:06:03.000 So we've just got one public hearing 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.720 and that's 4B-Z220003. 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.120 It is your show tonight, ma'am. 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:11.840 - Okay, good evening again. 00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:15.960 This is a request to rezone a total of 2.8 acres 00:06:15.960 --> 00:06:20.720 from Suburban Corridor and R3 to the Mixed Use MN District. 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:23.800 The property is located just north of East University Drive 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:30.120 with, I'm sorry, it's currently zoned SC 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:35.120 and a portion of it is zoned R3 as sort of a, 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:38.120 it was an overlay to the property to the west 00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.480 that is zoned R3 and so just to be able to apply 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:43.680 for consistent MN zoning standards, 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.120 they are including that as a part of this request. 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.160 Of course, staff did review this request 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:50.840 and are recommending approval, 00:06:50.840 --> 00:06:53.640 mainly allowing for that MN District 00:06:53.640 --> 00:06:55.840 to actually develop as an MN District. 00:06:55.840 --> 00:06:58.040 If you recall, staff has determined 00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:00.920 that a developing land use cannot maintain 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.080 or cannot obtain access through a zoning district 00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:06.520 if that zoning district does not permit 00:07:06.520 --> 00:07:08.200 the developing land use by right. 00:07:08.200 --> 00:07:11.640 And so there are certain land uses 00:07:11.640 --> 00:07:13.280 that are permitted within the MN District 00:07:13.280 --> 00:07:15.200 that would allow for a more cohesive 00:07:15.200 --> 00:07:19.080 and land use transition from the existing single family 00:07:19.080 --> 00:07:24.080 to the north and west onto the Suburban Corridor District 00:07:24.080 --> 00:07:27.960 and that would not be, that basically would not be permitted 00:07:27.960 --> 00:07:30.800 if the parcel as it is right now 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:32.400 was to maintain that SC zoning. 00:07:32.400 --> 00:07:35.280 And so with that, staff is recommending approval. 00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:37.720 And I'll take any questions that you have at this time. 00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:39.400 - Questions? 00:07:39.400 --> 00:07:42.840 - So when they're developing this, 00:07:42.840 --> 00:07:48.280 if this develops as they say with the multifamily use, 00:07:48.280 --> 00:07:49.920 it's just in this MN area? 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:53.140 'Cause I think all of that land is owned by the same person. 00:07:53.140 --> 00:07:58.040 - Yeah, so the sort of concept plan that was submitted 00:07:58.040 --> 00:07:59.400 as a part of their project narrative 00:07:59.400 --> 00:08:02.080 does show a multifamily development. 00:08:02.080 --> 00:08:04.680 And it is within that MN District there to the north 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:06.480 and of course, the piece that is included 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:07.880 in this subdivision. 00:08:07.880 --> 00:08:10.600 I'll add though, that as a part of that as well 00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:12.880 that the applicant has disposed that 00:08:12.880 --> 00:08:15.880 they are wanting to do a commercial development 00:08:15.880 --> 00:08:18.680 that is in the area to maintain that SC zoning. 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:20.760 So it would kind of tie into that as well. 00:08:20.760 --> 00:08:22.040 - To the east of that then. 00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:23.800 I understand, okay, okay. 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:28.280 Any questions for me on this one? 00:08:28.280 --> 00:08:31.600 Okay, thank you very much. 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:32.440 - Absolutely. 00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:34.080 - See you in the regular meeting. 00:08:34.920 --> 00:08:38.160 I think that is it for our agenda. 00:08:38.160 --> 00:08:41.760 We did have another work session at 2A. 00:08:41.760 --> 00:08:47.800 We're not gonna do that because I have been informed 00:08:47.800 --> 00:08:49.600 that this is not my last meeting, so. 00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:54.040 I'm not sure when my last meeting is going to be. 00:08:54.040 --> 00:08:58.240 Tina did say that she would certainly keep me posted. 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:03.240 So it seems odd to do, 00:09:04.520 --> 00:09:06.680 to have 2A happen today. 00:09:06.680 --> 00:09:10.080 So we're just gonna postpone that indefinitely, 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.000 I guess, at this moment. 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:12.840 Yes. 00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:16.800 However, with that, what I will say is 00:09:16.800 --> 00:09:17.880 for those of you who don't know, 00:09:17.880 --> 00:09:21.320 it is Selena's last meeting and that's a for sure thing. 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:27.320 So, yeah, you're not postponing indefinitely. 00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:31.280 Selena's been so supportive for all of us. 00:09:31.280 --> 00:09:33.360 So thank you very much. 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:35.440 And we certainly are going to miss you. 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.200 Happy that you are training Monica 00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:39.720 'cause then she can just slide right in 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.000 and it'll be just fine. 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:44.760 But thank you for all your support over the years 00:09:44.760 --> 00:09:48.040 and you have been wonderful. 00:09:48.040 --> 00:09:53.040 So with that, I will close our work session at 512 00:09:53.040 --> 00:09:58.520 and we'll reconvene in City Hall Council Chambers at 630. 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:08.360 Good evening and welcome to the City of Denton's 00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:11.800 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting 00:10:11.800 --> 00:10:14.880 for Wednesday, September 28th. 00:10:14.880 --> 00:10:17.200 With the quorum present, 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:19.880 I will call us to order at 630 p.m. 00:10:19.880 --> 00:10:22.640 Our first item on the agenda is the Pledge of Allegiance 00:10:22.640 --> 00:10:24.640 to the U.S. and Texas Flags. 00:10:24.640 --> 00:10:29.280 I pledge allegiance to the flag 00:10:29.280 --> 00:10:31.440 of the United States of America 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.080 and to the republic for which it stands, 00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:37.360 one nation, under God,

vote on the board, please. 00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:34.400 That motion carries six zero. 00:15:34.400 --> 00:15:39.400 That takes us to three D, ZCP22-0033. 00:15:39.400 --> 00:15:42.720 Invite Mia up for presentation. 00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:43.640 Good evening. 00:15:43.640 --> 00:15:44.760 - Good evening. 00:15:44.760 --> 00:15:50.440 Good evening, Mia Hines, Associate Planner. 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:52.160 This item is a zoning compliance plan 00:15:52.160 --> 00:15:53.800 for a medical office located 00:15:53.800 --> 00:15:57.320 in the Razor Ranch South Campus Mixed Use District. 00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:00.320 The site specifically is located just north 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:04.000 of Panhandle, west of Bonnie Bray, 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:07.600 and approximately 7.79 acres. 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:10.600 Again, the zoning, it is within 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:11.960 the Razor Ranch Overlay District. 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:14.440 The base zoning for this particular sub-area 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:17.080 is the NRMU, and that is subject 00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:19.640 to the Razor Ranch Overlay Development Standards 00:16:19.640 --> 00:16:21.960 and the 2002 DDC. 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:24.940 As this is part of the Razor Ranch Overlay District, 00:16:24.940 --> 00:16:27.960 since this is part of that district in the South Campus, 00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:29.560 that is why this zoning compliance plan 00:16:29.560 --> 00:16:31.240 is coming before you this afternoon. 00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:33.000 Per the Razor Ranch Development Standards, 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:34.400 typically zoning compliance plans 00:16:34.400 --> 00:16:36.240 are administratively approved, 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:38.200 but that's why this is coming before you this evening. 00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:42.200 And the proposed use, again, is a medical office building. 00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:44.160 So this particular sub-area is subject 00:16:44.160 --> 00:16:48.760 to ordinance Z20-0022C. 00:16:48.760 --> 00:16:51.080 Specifically, the architectural standards listed 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:54.120 in exhibit C2 and the landscape standards 00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:55.920 listed in exhibit D2. 00:16:55.920 --> 00:16:58.360 And so as a part of this zoning compliance plan, 00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:01.400 we reviewed the site plan, landscape plan, 00:17:01.400 --> 00:17:04.560 and four-sided conceptual building elevations 00:17:04.560 --> 00:17:05.960 to make sure that they were in compliance 00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:07.760 with those ordinances. 00:17:07.760 --> 00:17:12.760 Specifically, the 2002 DDC section 35.7.15.2K, 00:17:12.760 --> 00:17:16.480 as applicable to the Razor Ranch Overlay District, 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:20.720 requires that the P&Z approve a site plan 00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:22.600 if the site plan substantially complies 00:17:22.600 --> 00:17:26.560 with the concept and schematic plan approved by city council, 00:17:26.560 --> 00:17:29.080 if the site plan provides for a compatible arrangement 00:17:29.080 --> 00:17:30.680 of buildings and land uses, 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:32.960 if the site plan provides for the adequate 00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:35.480 and safe circulation of vehicular traffic, 00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:36.800 and if the plan fully complies 00:17:36.800 --> 00:17:39.800 with all other applicable sections of the overlay district. 00:17:39.800 --> 00:17:42.640 So in this case, and of course including your packet, 00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:44.280 is the full site plan. 00:17:44.280 --> 00:17:45.440 The building that they're proposing 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.360 is approximately 7,500 square feet. 00:17:48.360 --> 00:17:50.760 With that, they are proposing 38 parking spaces 00:17:50.760 --> 00:17:54.000 to meet the minimum one to 200 square foot 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:56.120 parking space requirement. 00:17:56.120 --> 00:17:58.280 They do have one driveway access point 00:17:58.280 --> 00:18:00.960 off of Panhandle Drive, 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:03.080 and they are proposing cross access 00:18:03.080 --> 00:18:04.680 to the property to the north, 00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:08.200 and then their main point of access is a shared access 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:10.360 for the eventual development of the property 00:18:10.360 --> 00:18:11.760 to the east as well. 00:18:11.760 --> 00:18:16.000 Here's their landscape plan. 00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:19.040 They are meeting the minimum requirements there, 00:18:19.040 --> 00:18:20.280 as you can see in the table, 00:18:20.280 --> 00:18:24.360 with providing 14% total landscape area, 00:18:24.360 --> 00:18:26.360 67% tree canopy coverage, 00:18:26.360 --> 00:18:28.080 I'm sorry, that's for the parking lot, 00:18:28.080 --> 00:18:31.160 and then overall it's 24% landscape area, 00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:34.080 and then 47% tree canopy coverage for the site. 00:18:34.080 --> 00:18:38.960 So here are the conceptual building elevations. 00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:41.760 As you can see, materials they are proposing, 00:18:41.760 --> 00:18:43.880 stone veneer, wood composite siding, 00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:46.160 and a metal panel, and that coloring, 00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:48.200 that sort of neutral coloring is pretty consistent 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:49.440 with what we see in this area 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:51.780 of the Razor Ranch overlay district as well. 00:18:51.780 --> 00:18:54.920 So again, in checking that, 00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:57.280 and that ordinance was provided for you, 00:18:57.280 --> 00:19:00.640 we did assure that this was in compliance 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:01.960 with all the applicable standards, 00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:03.480 and so staff is recommending approval 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:05.640 of the zoning compliance plan at this time, 00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:08.520 and I will take any questions that you may have. 00:19:08.520 --> 00:19:10.080 - Outstanding, Mia, thank you. 00:19:10.080 --> 00:19:11.140 Any questions? 00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:16.920 I do not see any, thank you very much. 00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:17.940 Commissioner Smith? 00:19:17.940 --> 00:19:19.200 - Make a motion to approve. 00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:21.300 - Commissioner Villarreal? 00:19:21.300 --> 00:19:22.140 - Second. 00:19:22.140 --> 00:19:25.120 - All right, we've got a first and a second for approval. 00:19:25.120 --> 00:19:26.140 Any discussion? 00:19:26.140 --> 00:19:30.880 Before we vote, Mia, I will just say thank you very much. 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:33.360 Excellent presentation, wonderful backup. 00:19:33.360 --> 00:19:36.040 It was, yeah, very easy to understand and follow, 00:19:36.040 --> 00:19:37.560 so I appreciate that very much. 00:19:37.560 --> 00:19:40.320 I'm sure we all do, thank you. 00:19:40.320 --> 00:19:41.920 Let's vote on the board, please. 00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:44.720 Thank you. 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:53.560 That motion carries six, zero. 00:19:53.560 --> 00:19:58.440 That will take us to three E, PP22-0023, 00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:01.520 and Mia is presenting this item as well. 00:20:01.520 --> 00:20:08.240 - Okay, good evening again. 00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:10.060 Mia Hines, Associate Planner. 00:20:10.060 --> 00:20:12.960 This is a preliminary plan for the Blue Horseshoe Edition 00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:17.960 located just west of I-35, about 2,100 square feet 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:22.680 south of the intersection of West University and I-35. 00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:25.400 At this time, the plat does not meet our criteria 00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:27.400 for approval, and so staff is recommending denial. 00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:30.840 However, we have no objection to the requested extension 00:20:30.840 --> 00:20:33.280 to October 26th, and at this time, 00:20:33.280 --> 00:20:35.080 I will take any questions that you have. 00:20:35.080 --> 00:20:36.480 - Thank you. 00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:38.640 I do not see any questions, thank you very much. 00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:39.760 Commissioner Smith? 00:20:39.760 --> 00:20:41.160 - Make a motion to approve the extension 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:43.120 to date certain of October 26th. 00:20:43.120 --> 00:20:44.160 - Okay, Commissioner Anderson? 00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:45.120 - Second. 00:20:45.120 --> 00:20:46.560 - Okay, we've got a first and a second 00:20:46.560 --> 00:20:48.160 to approve the extension or request 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:51.120 to a date certain of October 26th. 00:20:51.120 --> 00:20:52.180 Any discussion? 00:20:52.180 --> 00:20:55.000 Okay, let's vote on the board, please. 00:20:55.000 --> 00:21:05.200 That motion carries six, zero. 00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:06.760 That does take us to three F. 00:21:06.760 --> 00:21:10.760 However, we did very late this afternoon 00:21:10.760 --> 00:21:14.280 receive word that the applicant has withdrawn that item, 00:21:14.280 --> 00:21:17.760 so we will not be taking action on three F. 00:21:17.760 --> 00:21:20.220 That'll take us to our public hearings. 00:21:20.220 --> 00:21:23.240 As noted on the agenda, four A has been withdrawn, 00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:26.480 so we will not be taking action on that. 00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:29.480 So that takes us to four B, Z22-0003. 00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:35.680 I will invite Mia up for presentation of this item, 00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:37.440 and I will open the public hearing. 00:21:41.760 --> 00:21:45.860 Good evening again, Mia Hines, Associate Planner. 00:21:45.860 --> 00:21:50.520 This item, Z22-0003, is a request to rezone 00:21:50.520 --> 00:21:53.360 approximately 2.6 acres from suburban corridor 00:21:53.360 --> 00:21:56.400 and 0.2 acres from residential R3 00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:59.360 to the mixed-use neighborhood MN district. 00:21:59.360 --> 00:22:02.680 The site is generally located north of East University Drive, 00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:05.760 which is a primary arterial between Nottingham Drive 00:22:05.760 --> 00:22:08.680 there to the west, and Old North Road is there 00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:10.840 to the, a little further to the east, 00:22:10.840 --> 00:22:13.480 just sort of shown just off of the aerial image 00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:15.080 that you have there. 00:22:15.080 --> 00:22:17.800 The property itself is undeveloped, 00:22:17.800 --> 00:22:21.560 and around the property is SC zoning. 00:22:21.560 --> 00:22:24.560 To the west, I'm sorry, to the east is undeveloped land, 00:22:24.560 --> 00:22:27.760 currently zoned SC, to retain that SC zoning. 00:22:27.760 --> 00:22:29.680 To the west is also SC zoning, 00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:31.900 but developed with a drive-through restaurant. 00:22:31.900 --> 00:22:33.280 To the south is a religious, 00:22:33.280 --> 00:22:36.520 larger religious assembly facility. 00:22:36.520 --> 00:22:39.960 And then to the north is a strip-zoned MN. 00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:41.120 On the other side of that 00:22:41.120 --> 00:22:45.000 is a residential single-family subdivision, 00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:47.280 currently zoned R3. 00:22:47.280 --> 00:22:49.820 As you can see in the image there at the, 00:22:49.820 --> 00:22:52.640 towards the center, the bottom left image there, 00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:54.760 the future land use designation for this site 00:22:54.760 --> 00:22:57.220 is moderate residential to the north, 00:22:57.220 --> 00:23:00.720 and then community mixed-use to the south 00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:02.940 along the East University corridor. 00:23:02.940 --> 00:23:05.440 And again, the site itself is currently undeveloped, 00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:07.360 and no plans have been approved 00:23:07.360 --> 00:23:09.520 for the development of this site as of yet. 00:23:09.520 --> 00:23:14.000 So to just show you a bit of a zoning district comparison, 00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:15.660 again, we're dealing with three different districts 00:23:15.660 --> 00:23:19.600 in this case, R3 for that portion to the west, 00:23:19.600 --> 00:23:20.820 and then the suburban corridor 00:23:20.820 --> 00:23:23.600 for that larger portion along East University. 00:23:23.600 --> 00:23:26.340 The request is to change both of those portions to MN, 00:23:26.340 --> 00:23:30.720 so just wanted to show you to be able to see 00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:34.100 across the board what those different standards are 00:23:34.100 --> 00:23:35.120 and what that would look like. 00:23:35.120 --> 00:23:38.640 And so as far as the minimum landscape area for those, 00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:42.520 the suburban corridor and mixed-use neighborhood district, 00:23:42.520 --> 00:23:46.560 you're still looking at a minimum 20% landscape area. 00:23:46.560 --> 00:23:48.280 The minimum tree canopy coverage 00:23:48.280 --> 00:23:50.960 is slightly higher at 40%, 00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:52.360 and then there's some differences 00:23:52.360 --> 00:23:54.480 in maximum building height. 00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:58.000 The uses between suburban corridor 00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:00.800 and mixed-use neighborhood are pretty much the same. 00:24:00.800 --> 00:24:03.480 The big difference there is that the mixed-use district 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:06.640 comes with its own additional set of design standards, 00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:08.260 and it's really meant to promote 00:24:08.260 --> 00:24:13.080 and support pedestrian-centered development 00:24:13.080 --> 00:24:14.360 and pedestrian connectivity. 00:24:14.360 --> 00:24:16.840 And so having that mixed-use neighborhood district 00:24:16.840 --> 00:24:21.300 between, say, a lesser-dense R3 district in this case 00:24:21.300 --> 00:24:23.600 and a suburban corridor district really provides 00:24:23.600 --> 00:24:28.440 for that cohesive land use and zoning transition as well. 00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:32.320 And so that full report, the full analysis 00:24:32.320 --> 00:24:34.400 was provided in your backup, of course, 00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:37.760 but staff did review this pursuant to the criteria 00:24:37.760 --> 00:24:39.520 for approval in sub-chapter two. 00:24:39.520 --> 00:24:41.120 And of note, I just wanted to point out 00:24:41.120 --> 00:24:45.400 that MN zoning is intended to support compatibility 00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:48.480 between the higher-density mixed-use areas 00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:50.800 and adjacent residential and commercial areas. 00:24:50.800 --> 00:24:52.920 And so in this case, of course, 00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:56.920 that MN strip does not have direct access 00:24:56.920 --> 00:24:58.640 to East University Drive. 00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:00.840 If you recall, staff has determined 00:25:00.840 --> 00:25:04.280 that a developing land use cannot take access, 00:25:04.280 --> 00:25:07.520 excuse me, through a different zoning district 00:25:07.520 --> 00:25:10.680 if that zoning district does not allow for 00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:12.960 or permit that land use. 00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:17.040 And so in this case, it kind of prevents 00:25:17.040 --> 00:25:19.320 that MN district from being able to develop 00:25:19.320 --> 00:25:22.780 with those higher-density sort of residential uses 00:25:22.780 --> 00:25:26.440 and actually develop according to an MN district 00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:29.200 with the intention of the MN district 00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:31.240 because it would pretty much be subject 00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:36.200 to the SE district as it would have to obtain access 00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:37.040 through that point. 00:25:37.040 --> 00:25:40.440 And so this rezoning would allow for us to, one, 00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:42.600 apply the general standards of the MN district 00:25:42.600 --> 00:25:44.960 across whatever development ends up going there, 00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:48.040 and also, again, create for the land use 00:25:48.040 --> 00:25:51.920 to be actually land use intended for the MN district. 00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:55.600 So with that, staff is recommending approval 00:25:55.600 --> 00:25:57.800 of the requested rezoning as it complies 00:25:57.800 --> 00:26:00.240 with the criteria, and following this 00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:02.760 is the public hearing scheduled 00:26:02.760 --> 00:26:05.720 for city council on October 18th. 00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:09.200 And with that, I'll take any questions you have. 00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:10.040 - Thank you. 00:26:10.040 --> 00:26:12.320 - And I realize that, oh, there it is. 00:26:12.320 --> 00:26:14.000 It skipped my public outreach slide. 00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:16.840 We did perform public outreach, I'm sorry. 00:26:16.840 --> 00:26:19.040 As of the time of this report, 00:26:19.040 --> 00:26:21.820 we had not received any responses in opposition 00:26:21.820 --> 00:26:22.660 or in favor. 00:26:22.660 --> 00:26:24.680 The applicant did hold a neighborhood meeting, 00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:26.700 and there weren't any, from my notes, 00:26:26.700 --> 00:26:28.200 there weren't any major concerns raised 00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:29.760 at that meeting either, but of course, 00:26:29.760 --> 00:26:31.600 the applicant is here and can answer any questions 00:26:31.600 --> 00:26:33.080 that you have regarding that. 00:26:33.080 --> 00:26:34.040 - Great, thank you, ma'am. 00:26:34.040 --> 00:26:35.560 I think we do have a question for you 00:26:35.560 --> 00:26:37.160 from Commissioner Anderson. 00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:39.000 - Well, it may be better for Amy afterwards, 00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:42.000 but that little sliver up on the top left, 00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:44.240 the northwest corner, what is that for? 00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:45.640 I mean, did I miss something? 00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:50.480 - Let's see if I can find the R3 portion there. 00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:52.280 - That little, yeah, that little top left, 00:26:52.280 --> 00:26:53.840 that little flag area section. 00:26:53.840 --> 00:26:58.680 It is an R3 zoning that is on the applicant's property 00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:02.120 from the sort of city-wide rezoning transition 00:27:02.120 --> 00:27:04.960 from the old code to the new 00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:06.760 and the old zoning districts to the new, 00:27:06.760 --> 00:27:10.360 per the legal description that we had. 00:27:10.360 --> 00:27:14.040 The R3 zoning, I believe, was meant to be on that parcel 00:27:14.040 --> 00:27:15.920 that it's on that has the church on it, 00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:18.120 and it sort of just overlapped on the applicant's property, 00:27:18.120 --> 00:27:20.960 so it's included so that we can apply the MN standards 00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:23.480 across the board for this property. 00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:27.160 'Cause it doesn't look big enough to do anything, really, so. 00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:28.980 - I believe in the applicant's, 00:27:28.980 --> 00:27:30.640 and they can talk about their design a little bit more, 00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:32.760 but in the conceptual area, 00:27:32.760 --> 00:27:36.000 there was a parking strip or something like that 00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:37.480 along that end, yes, sir. 00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:39.880 - That's it, thank you very much, yeah. 00:27:39.880 --> 00:27:40.720 - Thank you. 00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:42.640 Okay, thank you, Mia. 00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:44.640 I don't see any other questions. 00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:46.560 I do have a card from the applicant, 00:27:46.560 --> 00:27:50.360 so I will go ahead and invite her up, 00:27:50.360 --> 00:27:51.400 and I think you know the drill. 00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:52.280 I'll give your name and address, 00:27:52.280 --> 00:27:53.680 and you got 10 minutes if you'd like it. 00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:55.160 - Thank you, Amy Vinson, 97 Lane Company, 00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:58.400 109 North Elm, Denton 76201. 00:27:58.400 --> 00:28:00.320 I did bring a brief presentation, 00:28:00.320 --> 00:28:03.040 but I'm not gonna plug it in unless y'all need me to. 00:28:03.040 --> 00:28:05.720 I just wanna answer the one question that came up 00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:07.200 from Commissioner Anderson, 00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:09.320 and then elaborate a little bit 00:28:09.320 --> 00:28:10.800 on our neighborhood engagement. 00:28:10.800 --> 00:28:14.540 So as it relates to little R3 sliver, 00:28:14.540 --> 00:28:18.200 it is really on our side of the property line, 00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:22.400 and it was just an error in the legal description 00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:25.000 when the rezoning took place in 2019, 00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:26.880 so we're just cleaning that up 00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:29.480 so we can go all the way to the property line. 00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:33.000 Otherwise, we'd be subject to R3 zoning regulations 00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:34.780 across the entire piece. 00:28:34.780 --> 00:28:37.960 We did have a neighborhood meeting 00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:39.940 and have had ongoing conversations 00:28:39.940 --> 00:28:42.960 with the Homeowner Association Board, 00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:47.320 and have talked about kind of the border 00:28:47.320 --> 00:28:49.120 between their back property lines, 00:28:49.120 --> 00:28:52.280 their back fences, and our back fence, 00:28:52.280 --> 00:28:57.240 and have worked with them to look at, 00:28:57.240 --> 00:28:58.760 obviously there's a landscape buffer 00:28:58.760 --> 00:29:00.240 that will be accommodated there, 00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:04.840 but there's a gap that is a part of a gas line easement 00:29:04.840 --> 00:29:06.440 that we're talking with them about, 00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:08.180 closing that gap with a fence 00:29:08.180 --> 00:29:11.040 and participating in the cost of that. 00:29:11.040 --> 00:29:13.840 And we've had ongoing conversations with them, 00:29:13.840 --> 00:29:15.720 and it's been good. 00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:20.480 And we have not received negative feedback 00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:21.480 for the most part. 00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:23.720 It's just been, can you help us with this, 00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:27.360 and can you explain more about what's going on here? 00:29:27.360 --> 00:29:28.840 We think there'll be a little bit of a gap 00:29:28.840 --> 00:29:31.120 between their fence line and our fence line, 00:29:31.120 --> 00:29:33.840 which will be our responsibility to care for 00:29:33.840 --> 00:29:38.840 and to maintain, and the fence that will close the gap 00:29:38.840 --> 00:29:42.760 and the gas pipeline easement will belong to them 00:29:42.760 --> 00:29:45.520 so that they can maintain it and take care of it. 00:29:45.520 --> 00:29:46.840 Happy to answer any questions 00:29:46.840 --> 00:29:49.640 or if you'd like to see a site plan or a presentation, 00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:51.240 I'm glad to give you one. 00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:54.440 - Okay, Amy, did homeowners attend that meeting? 00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:58.800 - Yes, we had about between 15 and 20 people 00:29:58.800 --> 00:30:00.640 in attendance at that meeting. 00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:03.440 - Oh, from the northern, the neighborhood from the north? 00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:06.240 - Mostly right on the northern property line, 00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:07.920 but there were some that were across the street 00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:11.400 or in the neighborhood, generally speaking. 00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:12.520 - Great, great. 00:30:12.520 --> 00:30:13.360 Commissioner Anderson. 00:30:13.360 --> 00:30:16.040 - Thanks, Chair, Amy, do you have like what 00:30:16.040 --> 00:30:18.620 their conceptual plan is or some of this? 00:30:18.620 --> 00:30:19.460 Can we see what that is? 00:30:19.460 --> 00:30:20.300 - Sure, yes. 00:30:20.300 --> 00:30:24.440 Do you have it on yours? 00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:26.000 - No, I do have it. 00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:26.840 - Do you have the latest one? 00:30:26.840 --> 00:30:27.680 - Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:28.520 - Okay. 00:30:28.520 --> 00:30:33.320 That's it? 00:30:33.320 --> 00:30:34.160 Nope, that's not it. 00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:35.880 Yes, that is it, that is it, okay. 00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:38.120 Yep, you can. 00:30:38.120 --> 00:30:42.400 So I will talk you through a couple of things here. 00:30:44.280 --> 00:30:47.560 The property that is in color is the property 00:30:47.560 --> 00:30:49.760 that is being contemplated for development. 00:30:49.760 --> 00:30:54.760 If you look to the left lower part of your screen, 00:30:54.760 --> 00:30:59.800 that is the area to be rezoned. 00:30:59.800 --> 00:31:02.680 Also, this strip along here that you were asking 00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:03.760 about, Commissioner Anderson, 00:31:03.760 --> 00:31:06.000 on the far left northern side, 00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:08.760 those are the two areas to be rezoned. 00:31:08.760 --> 00:31:11.400 Everything that actually abuts the neighborhood 00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:14.800 is RDMN, which is a more appropriate zoning district 00:31:14.800 --> 00:31:19.560 than SC would be for that transition 00:31:19.560 --> 00:31:23.960 between University Drive and an existing neighborhood. 00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:27.280 The gas pipeline easement is located here, 00:31:27.280 --> 00:31:29.500 and this is the gap in the fence that we're talking about 00:31:29.500 --> 00:31:31.760 that we'd like to help them close. 00:31:31.760 --> 00:31:34.600 And everything that's sort of grayed out here 00:31:34.600 --> 00:31:37.320 is property that belongs to the seller 00:31:37.320 --> 00:31:39.640 that they're retaining that they have plans for 00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:44.040 in the future for a mixed-use retail type development 00:31:44.040 --> 00:31:47.920 with restaurants, but that's entirely out of our control. 00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:51.920 So our main entrance off of University is here, 00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:55.280 and we have had conversations with the city 00:31:55.280 --> 00:31:57.320 about what's the most appropriate location 00:31:57.320 --> 00:32:01.240 for that entrance to make it as safe as possible. 00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:03.160 We had actually hoped to put it 00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:04.560 where we could split two buildings 00:32:04.560 --> 00:32:07.480 and have an entrance with buildings on both sides, 00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:09.480 but they had asked us to move it further east, 00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:14.480 so we have accommodated that to make it as safe as possible. 00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:18.760 Our secondary entrance will be to Old North Road, 00:32:18.760 --> 00:32:20.920 as you can see from my cursor here, 00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:23.180 through the commercial development 00:32:23.180 --> 00:32:24.920 that will occur in the future. 00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:28.020 There's an existing access easement there today, 00:32:28.020 --> 00:32:31.860 but the exact location of where that will occur 00:32:31.860 --> 00:32:36.040 on Old North Road will depend on just what's best 00:32:36.040 --> 00:32:38.340 in terms of an engineering perspective. 00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:45.480 - Great, okay, any other questions? 00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:48.060 - Thank you. 00:32:48.060 --> 00:32:50.120 - I do not see any, thank you so much. 00:32:50.120 --> 00:32:51.760 This is a public hearing. 00:32:51.760 --> 00:32:54.080 You are welcome to come on down to the microphone 00:32:54.080 --> 00:32:57.360 and speak, just give us your name and address, 00:32:57.360 --> 00:32:59.320 and you can fill out a card afterward. 00:32:59.320 --> 00:33:00.720 Thank you. 00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:01.760 - I've never done this before. 00:33:01.760 --> 00:33:03.200 - Well, welcome. 00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:08.200 - My name's Diana Sims, and I actually have two homes, 00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:14.440 one my mother lives in, that back up to the other side 00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:18.720 of the fence where this development is. 00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:23.280 There was an HOA meeting led by Larry Beck, 00:33:23.280 --> 00:33:25.560 who was our president. 00:33:25.560 --> 00:33:30.560 We don't have a fully staffed, even, HOA, 00:33:30.560 --> 00:33:34.040 and so I was part of that meeting, 00:33:34.040 --> 00:33:37.340 and it was really presented that, 00:33:38.360 --> 00:33:41.040 it was almost like it was a done deal. 00:33:41.040 --> 00:33:46.040 And he's been in contact with Amy, is that your name? 00:33:46.040 --> 00:33:49.280 But I don't know that anybody else has been in, 00:33:49.280 --> 00:33:52.180 and I wasn't even aware that you were part of that meeting. 00:33:52.180 --> 00:33:59.360 And there was a lot of concern at the meeting, 00:33:59.360 --> 00:34:01.800 people wondering what their property values 00:34:01.800 --> 00:34:06.800 were gonna be like, having multifamily, the tall stories. 00:34:08.040 --> 00:34:10.360 When I see this, even my property, 00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:15.360 there's going to be multi-story overlooking my backyards, 00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:20.780 and a loss of privacy there. 00:34:20.780 --> 00:34:25.320 I wasn't the only one that voiced that concern 00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:28.160 in the neighborhood, so it's not like there's no opposition, 00:34:28.160 --> 00:34:31.460 everybody seems to be on board with it, they're not. 00:34:31.460 --> 00:34:34.960 They just kind of understood it's a done deal, 00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:37.200 okay, it's just a preliminary hearing, 00:34:37.200 --> 00:34:39.200 so we're going to, we need to find out 00:34:39.200 --> 00:34:40.400 some more information. 00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:45.720 And people that I knew weren't gonna be able 00:34:45.720 --> 00:34:47.040 to come to the meeting, so they said, 00:34:47.040 --> 00:34:49.400 let me know what you find out. 00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:51.760 But it's presented as if the whole neighborhood 00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:54.680 might be not in opposition, but that's not the case. 00:34:54.680 --> 00:35:00.360 We're very concerned about multi-family coming in, 00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:03.040 and to my understanding, most of the apartments 00:35:03.040 --> 00:35:04.140 are two-bedroom. 00:35:08.160 --> 00:35:13.160 Just a lot of concern with the density coming in. 00:35:13.160 --> 00:35:16.240 On that paper, it looks nice, 00:35:16.240 --> 00:35:21.240 but just having it so close to single-family residences, 00:35:21.240 --> 00:35:27.240 there's just so much encroaching into single-family. 00:35:27.240 --> 00:35:29.440 There's lots of apartments going up, 00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:33.880 and most of us were really hoping, of course, 00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:37.080 there would be some businesses and things going in there. 00:35:37.080 --> 00:35:41.240 But this looks pretty large. 00:35:41.240 --> 00:35:42.920 I know that one section is the only one 00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:45.200 that's gonna be built first, but it's obvious 00:35:45.200 --> 00:35:48.120 that there's going to be a lot more coming in 00:35:48.120 --> 00:35:51.960 once that apartment starts to get built. 00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:54.160 So I don't know what the recommendation is, 00:35:54.160 --> 00:35:59.160 that what homeowners can say or do to address this, 00:35:59.160 --> 00:36:03.480 but I mean, I know there's regulations for lighting, 00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:08.480 and all of that distance, 10-foot minimum, 00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:12.280 I think, from the fence, but three stories 00:36:12.280 --> 00:36:15.080 is going to look into both of my backyards. 00:36:15.080 --> 00:36:18.480 My mother's, there's a lot of elderly people, 00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:20.320 retired people, a lot of single women 00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:21.440 in that little neighborhood. 00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:22.880 The houses aren't that big. 00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:26.320 It's very concerning. 00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:30.120 So we have had an increase in thefts, 00:36:30.120 --> 00:36:32.820 and in our little neighborhoods, 00:36:32.820 --> 00:36:34.760 all these neighborhoods to the north, 00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:36.800 because of the density moving in, 00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:40.240 a lot more thefts in the yards, 00:36:40.240 --> 00:36:42.180 people loitering around at night. 00:36:42.180 --> 00:36:48.240 And we're really close to where, I guess, 00:36:48.240 --> 00:36:49.880 the new homeless shelter's gonna be built 00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:51.520 where the nursing home is. 00:36:51.520 --> 00:36:54.240 We're just getting a lot of people coming in and out, 00:36:54.240 --> 00:36:59.240 and it's not the single-family residential neighborhood 00:36:59.240 --> 00:37:01.080 that we thought we were gonna have. 00:37:02.640 --> 00:37:05.280 So I know these places have to go somewhere, 00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:08.320 but it's just so close to where we all live, 00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:12.320 as far as multi-story, and just so close 00:37:12.320 --> 00:37:13.920 to the back fence and all of that. 00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:17.440 I just, anyway, I'm not professional. 00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:20.320 I don't understand it all, but thank you. 00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:21.920 - We are very glad that you came out 00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:23.020 and shared your thoughts. 00:37:23.020 --> 00:37:23.860 Thank you. 00:37:23.860 --> 00:37:25.080 Commissioner Anderson, you're still on the board. 00:37:25.080 --> 00:37:28.360 Do you have, no? 00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:29.820 Okay, I just wanted to say. 00:37:31.080 --> 00:37:33.320 Mia, can you come on, is there a way 00:37:33.320 --> 00:37:38.320 that you can show possibly how the buffers work 00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:41.200 between single-family neighborhood 00:37:41.200 --> 00:37:43.800 and where development might be, is there? 00:37:43.800 --> 00:37:45.280 Do we have anything that? 00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:48.160 - I don't have anything that could show it, 00:37:48.160 --> 00:37:50.520 but I can say that the buffer depends 00:37:50.520 --> 00:37:51.800 on the developing use. 00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:55.120 Of course, the MN district does allow for multi-family, 00:37:55.120 --> 00:37:57.520 but also allows for certain commercial and retail uses. 00:37:57.520 --> 00:38:00.720 And so I don't know what that is off the top of my head. 00:38:00.720 --> 00:38:02.340 I'll look to my team. 00:38:02.340 --> 00:38:04.700 But between single-family and multi-family, 00:38:04.700 --> 00:38:07.440 I do know, like she mentioned, that's a 10-foot buffer, 00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:11.320 and then we have certain elements in the DDC 00:38:11.320 --> 00:38:13.760 that they have to have within that 10-foot buffer. 00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:15.240 And I can't recall what it is 00:38:15.240 --> 00:38:17.120 between commercial and single-family. 00:38:17.120 --> 00:38:21.520 - Maybe what we can do is get her name 00:38:21.520 --> 00:38:24.800 and kind of get you in contact just so you can understand 00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:27.460 a little bit more of some of the concerns. 00:38:27.460 --> 00:38:28.400 That would be great. 00:38:30.720 --> 00:38:31.560 Sorry. 00:38:31.560 --> 00:38:36.660 Please, Tina, I mean, yeah, you are welcome to chime in. 00:38:36.660 --> 00:38:40.580 - Okay, so Ms. Sims, just to help you understand 00:38:40.580 --> 00:38:43.320 with this request, and Mia, I'm gonna ask for you 00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:47.820 to go to your presentation that shows the existing zoning. 00:38:47.820 --> 00:38:48.880 It's early on. 00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:55.380 So the graphic that is on the lower right-hand side, 00:38:55.380 --> 00:38:56.880 if you can see that, 00:38:56.880 --> 00:38:59.480 there's kind of a light-shaded purple area. 00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:02.140 Right now, that is MN zoning that backs up 00:39:02.140 --> 00:39:04.360 to the single-family residential neighborhood 00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:05.680 that you live within. 00:39:05.680 --> 00:39:09.280 So the MN zoning, that currently exists today. 00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:11.140 So the developer does have the right 00:39:11.140 --> 00:39:12.920 to be able to develop the property 00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:14.480 in accordance with the MN district, 00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:16.600 and it allows for the multi-family use. 00:39:16.600 --> 00:39:19.540 What they're requesting is to expand that MN zoning 00:39:19.540 --> 00:39:24.540 to the south, so that way the property to the south 00:39:24.540 --> 00:39:26.360 can be developed in accordance 00:39:26.360 --> 00:39:27.860 with the remaining portion that they own 00:39:27.860 --> 00:39:30.320 that already has that MN zoning on there. 00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:33.140 So it allows them to then be able to, 00:39:33.140 --> 00:39:35.480 as illustrated then on the, 00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:37.280 can you go to the very last graphic 00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:39.380 that you had that showed the concept plan? 00:39:39.380 --> 00:39:43.120 So what it's doing is essentially allowing 00:39:43.120 --> 00:39:46.880 the southernmost building adjacent to US 380. 00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:49.080 Mia, if you can point to that. 00:39:49.080 --> 00:39:50.520 To be able, yes, in that area, 00:39:50.520 --> 00:39:53.600 to be able to allow for multi-family buildings there 00:39:53.600 --> 00:39:55.920 and allow for the access to 380. 00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:58.220 The, can you show the approximate 00:39:58.220 --> 00:40:00.480 where the existing zoning of MN is? 00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:03.160 So that area in there already has the MN zoning. 00:40:03.160 --> 00:40:06.600 So the multi-family use is already allowed by right there. 00:40:06.600 --> 00:40:09.160 So that allows for the applicant to be able to submit plans, 00:40:09.160 --> 00:40:11.560 and if it complies with all the city's development standards, 00:40:11.560 --> 00:40:13.160 they would be able to get under construction. 00:40:13.160 --> 00:40:17.160 So the zoning changes to help facilitate that development. 00:40:17.160 --> 00:40:20.240 And then as Mia mentioned, there are, 00:40:20.240 --> 00:40:22.920 depending upon the uses that get developed with the property, 00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:25.040 there are certain screening and buffering requirements 00:40:25.040 --> 00:40:27.720 that come into play, and we'd be happy to meet with you 00:40:27.720 --> 00:40:30.120 and share with you what some of those options would be. 00:40:30.120 --> 00:40:32.320 It's a point system, if memory serves me correctly, 00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:35.000 and so there are a variety of different options 00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:38.040 that could be installed by the developer 00:40:38.040 --> 00:40:39.160 for the multi-family development 00:40:39.160 --> 00:40:41.280 to meet those point obligations. 00:40:41.280 --> 00:40:44.240 And so it allows for them to be able to choose items 00:40:44.240 --> 00:40:46.620 based upon also what might be appropriate 00:40:46.620 --> 00:40:48.140 for the use being developed. 00:40:48.140 --> 00:40:51.600 - Thank you. - Thank you. 00:40:51.600 --> 00:40:52.560 - Thank you, Tina. 00:40:52.560 --> 00:40:55.160 Yeah, and that was a large explanation, 00:40:55.160 --> 00:40:58.000 especially for someone who's not used to all of this stuff, 00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:01.600 but that they'll get with you 00:41:01.600 --> 00:41:03.900 to even help you understand it further. 00:41:03.900 --> 00:41:08.880 But one thing I can add is staying involved 00:41:08.880 --> 00:41:10.960 and staying vocal is the best. 00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:14.800 We have seen so much great collaboration 00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:17.460 between developers and the neighborhood 00:41:17.460 --> 00:41:18.920 when they just start communicating. 00:41:18.920 --> 00:41:22.160 So what you're doing is exactly a wonderful thing 00:41:22.160 --> 00:41:24.920 that you're doing in staying involved and engaged. 00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:28.880 And as that communication continues to happen, 00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:30.920 that's how these developments 00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:32.960 become better than they ever could be. 00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:36.680 So again, thank you for coming out. 00:41:36.680 --> 00:41:37.640 This is a public hearing. 00:41:37.640 --> 00:41:38.780 I don't have any more cards. 00:41:38.780 --> 00:41:41.180 Is there anyone else wishing to speak on this item? 00:41:41.180 --> 00:41:44.200 Please come on down and give us your name and address 00:41:44.200 --> 00:41:45.180 and your time will begin. 00:41:45.180 --> 00:41:46.400 Oh, you do have a card in your hand. 00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:48.120 Thank you very much. 00:41:48.120 --> 00:41:48.960 Appreciate it. 00:41:51.240 --> 00:41:52.520 - I don't wanna take up too much time, 00:41:52.520 --> 00:41:54.200 but my name's Matt Swedenberg. 00:41:54.200 --> 00:41:59.200 I live at 7060 Arbor Hill Drive, Dallas, Texas, 75231. 00:41:59.200 --> 00:42:04.840 I represent the developer on this case. 00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:06.440 And just to tell, I guess, 00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:08.080 give you a little bit of background on us, 00:42:08.080 --> 00:42:09.480 we're based out of Dallas. 00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:12.760 So we're local, we're class A developers. 00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:14.760 So we're not gonna bring any type of, you know, 00:42:14.760 --> 00:42:19.560 affordability or affordable unit to this development. 00:42:19.560 --> 00:42:22.220 It's all gonna be market rate. 00:42:22.220 --> 00:42:26.120 We will comply with any of the setbacks. 00:42:26.120 --> 00:42:28.800 We're working with HEDK. 00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:31.080 They're an architect that is also out of Dallas. 00:42:31.080 --> 00:42:34.600 So they're providing, you know, our site plan to us, 00:42:34.600 --> 00:42:38.120 all the correct setbacks as far as backing up 00:42:38.120 --> 00:42:40.760 to residential development 00:42:40.760 --> 00:42:43.140 and to the commercial development to our South. 00:42:43.140 --> 00:42:47.160 But also if there's any more questions specifically 00:42:47.160 --> 00:42:50.200 to the developer, I'd love to answer them. 00:42:50.200 --> 00:42:51.880 And same thing with the neighborhood. 00:42:51.880 --> 00:42:55.040 We'd love to, you know, continue that conversation 00:42:55.040 --> 00:42:58.200 and make sure that we're, you know, being good neighbors. 00:42:58.200 --> 00:43:00.300 And that's the reason we reached out to them initially. 00:43:00.300 --> 00:43:03.860 So if there are continued conversations there, 00:43:03.860 --> 00:43:05.620 we would welcome them. 00:43:05.620 --> 00:43:06.960 - Great, thank you. 00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:10.020 Any questions from the commissioners? 00:43:10.020 --> 00:43:13.720 Thank you for saying a few words and being here. 00:43:13.720 --> 00:43:14.560 Appreciate that. 00:43:16.520 --> 00:43:17.760 This is a public hearing. 00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:20.420 Is there anyone else wishing to speak on this item? 00:43:20.420 --> 00:43:25.880 Okay, seeing none, I will close the public hearing 00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:30.080 and open the floor for discussion or a motion 00:43:30.080 --> 00:43:31.880 from the commission. 00:43:31.880 --> 00:43:33.200 Commissioner Smith. 00:43:33.200 --> 00:43:35.080 - Thank you, Chair. 00:43:35.080 --> 00:43:35.900 Thank you for coming out. 00:43:35.900 --> 00:43:37.840 I wanna echo Chair Ellis's points, ma'am, 00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:41.360 that definitely bringing out, you know, the neighborhood 00:43:41.360 --> 00:43:43.200 and bringing yourself out to be active, 00:43:43.200 --> 00:43:44.120 especially at council. 00:43:44.120 --> 00:43:46.280 I think Mia did put up there on the slide 00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:48.840 that this would go to council on October 18th, correct? 00:43:48.840 --> 00:43:51.360 So that would be the next time to bring that up. 00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:53.800 And I know Ms. Bissett will also be very amenable 00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:55.840 to visiting with you afterwards as well. 00:43:55.840 --> 00:43:59.320 But this is more of an accessibility question 00:43:59.320 --> 00:44:00.400 than it is a zoning question 00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:02.440 with the by-right use already up there. 00:44:02.440 --> 00:44:03.800 This just makes it to where there wouldn't have 00:44:03.800 --> 00:44:06.760 to be engineering to dump everything out on Old North 00:44:06.760 --> 00:44:08.040 for this multifamily development. 00:44:08.040 --> 00:44:10.720 So with that, make a motion to approve. 00:44:10.720 --> 00:44:11.600 - Thank you, Commissioner Smith. 00:44:11.600 --> 00:44:12.440 Commissioner Cole. 00:44:12.440 --> 00:44:13.280 - Second. 00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:16.480 - Okay, we've got a first and a second for approval 00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:17.320 of the request. 00:44:17.320 --> 00:44:18.280 Any discussion? 00:44:18.280 --> 00:44:21.880 Okay, seeing none, let's vote on the board, please. 00:44:21.880 --> 00:44:30.260 That motion carries six, zero. 00:44:30.260 --> 00:44:34.040 That will take us to our planning 00:44:34.040 --> 00:44:36.440 and zoning commission project matrix. 00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:38.640 I will go ahead and turn that over to Tina. 00:44:38.640 --> 00:44:42.680 - Thank you, Chair Ellis. 00:44:42.680 --> 00:44:46.500 So I actually have several items to report on this evening. 00:44:46.500 --> 00:44:49.460 Get my list here first. 00:44:49.460 --> 00:44:52.880 So with respect to the matrix itself, 00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:55.720 you'll notice that we have pared down the number of items 00:44:55.720 --> 00:44:57.000 that were on the list. 00:44:57.000 --> 00:44:59.240 And so we removed the items that have been accomplished 00:44:59.240 --> 00:45:00.200 through the boot camps. 00:45:00.200 --> 00:45:03.160 And so those were pertaining to annexation, drainage, 00:45:03.160 --> 00:45:05.540 and parking that the commission had asked for. 00:45:05.540 --> 00:45:07.800 So we removed those items. 00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:09.560 The second item on the list, 00:45:09.560 --> 00:45:11.840 discussion related to the newer horizontal multifamily 00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:14.000 versus traditional multifamily approach. 00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:17.140 We believe that item can now be removed from the matrix, 00:45:17.140 --> 00:45:19.960 given the fact that the planning and zoning commission 00:45:19.960 --> 00:45:21.480 received recommended amendments 00:45:21.480 --> 00:45:25.120 to the Denton development code regarding multifamily uses. 00:45:25.120 --> 00:45:27.720 So that is slated to go to city council 00:45:27.720 --> 00:45:30.580 on October 18th for consideration. 00:45:30.580 --> 00:45:33.740 So presuming if council approves the amendments 00:45:33.740 --> 00:45:35.120 as recommended by the commission, 00:45:35.120 --> 00:45:36.400 then we believe that that would take care 00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:39.400 of this particular item and can remove that. 00:45:39.400 --> 00:45:43.760 We did add to the matrix a request by commissioner Villarreal 00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:45.640 with respect to discussion 00:45:45.640 --> 00:45:47.480 about removing minimum parking requirements. 00:45:47.480 --> 00:45:49.460 So you'll see that that's been added. 00:45:49.460 --> 00:45:51.660 But other than that, those are the only changes 00:45:51.660 --> 00:45:54.320 to this portion of the matrix. 00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:55.920 So if we've missed something, 00:45:55.920 --> 00:45:58.940 please let me know and happy to make those changes. 00:45:58.940 --> 00:46:01.880 With respect to past city council, 00:46:01.880 --> 00:46:05.300 so we've had a busy month this September. 00:46:05.300 --> 00:46:07.680 If you kept up, then you probably already know 00:46:07.680 --> 00:46:08.520 what I'm gonna tell you. 00:46:08.520 --> 00:46:10.800 But a couple of things I wanted to bring to your attention. 00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:13.920 So back on September 20th, 00:46:13.920 --> 00:46:15.140 so I'll address those items first. 00:46:15.140 --> 00:46:16.920 One of the things we did was we presented 00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:20.920 a draft mud policy or municipal utility district policy. 00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:24.180 If you recall, I believe it was back in May or June, 00:46:24.180 --> 00:46:25.960 I gave a presentation to the commission 00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:27.760 and shared with you what we were working on 00:46:27.760 --> 00:46:30.160 with respect to the municipal utility district policy. 00:46:30.160 --> 00:46:34.760 So in light of the conversation that took place 00:46:34.760 --> 00:46:38.200 with council and we received favorable comments 00:46:38.200 --> 00:46:39.960 towards our draft mud policy, 00:46:39.960 --> 00:46:42.240 we'll be moving forward with putting that on their agenda, 00:46:42.240 --> 00:46:43.640 hopefully in October for adoption. 00:46:43.640 --> 00:46:46.640 But be happy to give an updated presentation 00:46:46.640 --> 00:46:48.120 to the commission if you would be interested 00:46:48.120 --> 00:46:50.800 in receiving that with respect to that policy. 00:46:50.800 --> 00:46:52.880 So I know there was some interest back in May, June 00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:55.600 and just wanna extend that offer to that. 00:46:55.600 --> 00:46:57.800 But again, received favorable remarks from council 00:46:57.800 --> 00:47:00.640 with the draft that we had presented to them. 00:47:00.640 --> 00:47:02.280 In terms of action items, 00:47:02.280 --> 00:47:06.040 so we had several zoning cases back on the 20th. 00:47:06.040 --> 00:47:09.560 So the first one Mia had worked on, 00:47:09.560 --> 00:47:11.040 worked on a couple of changes 00:47:11.040 --> 00:47:14.320 as it relates to the razor ranch area of the city. 00:47:14.320 --> 00:47:17.320 So we had a rezoning to change the zoning district 00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:19.920 and use classification from the razor ranch overlay district 00:47:19.920 --> 00:47:22.160 to mixed use neighborhood. 00:47:22.160 --> 00:47:24.240 And this was, we referred to this 00:47:24.240 --> 00:47:27.080 as the panhandle zoning case was around panhandle drive. 00:47:27.080 --> 00:47:28.280 And if memory serves me correctly, 00:47:28.280 --> 00:47:30.420 the purpose of the rezoning was to help facilitate 00:47:30.420 --> 00:47:32.560 the development of a pharmacy, is that correct? 00:47:32.560 --> 00:47:33.640 Okay. 00:47:33.640 --> 00:47:37.640 And so council did approve that request six zero. 00:47:37.640 --> 00:47:39.720 We also had another item with respect 00:47:39.720 --> 00:47:42.880 to amending the razor ranch overlay district 00:47:42.880 --> 00:47:45.680 and adding 200 additional units of multifamily 00:47:45.680 --> 00:47:48.020 to that particular district. 00:47:48.020 --> 00:47:50.660 So council did approve that as well six zero. 00:47:50.660 --> 00:47:56.720 Then we had project or we referred to it as project cowboy, 00:47:56.720 --> 00:47:58.440 a project that Angie had worked on. 00:47:58.440 --> 00:48:01.660 It was rezoning about 10 acres of land 00:48:01.660 --> 00:48:06.200 from R2 to heavy industrial near Western Boulevard 00:48:06.200 --> 00:48:07.600 and Jim crystal road. 00:48:07.600 --> 00:48:10.420 And so that the commission had also recommended approval 00:48:10.420 --> 00:48:13.000 and council approved that six zero. 00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:14.960 Then we also had a request. 00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:18.200 Let's see, what did we nickname this one? 00:48:18.200 --> 00:48:20.400 This was the, oh, the reserves at Magnolia. 00:48:20.400 --> 00:48:23.400 So this was a zoning case that Julie had presented. 00:48:23.400 --> 00:48:27.180 And if you recall, it was a request to rezone the property 00:48:27.180 --> 00:48:30.280 to a plan development district from HC quarter 00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:33.160 to allow for the development of a multifamily development 00:48:33.160 --> 00:48:35.760 was about 60 units if members serves me correctly, 00:48:35.760 --> 00:48:38.160 right there off of Willowwood, just to the, 00:48:38.160 --> 00:48:40.920 I guess, technically that's considered south of I-35 00:48:40.920 --> 00:48:42.240 in that particular area. 00:48:42.240 --> 00:48:45.660 And so that was approved by council as well six zero. 00:48:45.660 --> 00:48:49.400 And then the last item that we had on that agenda 00:48:49.400 --> 00:48:51.680 was the amendments to the DDC 00:48:51.680 --> 00:48:53.640 as it relates to the data centers. 00:48:53.640 --> 00:48:56.680 I know the DCRC or development code review committee 00:48:56.680 --> 00:48:59.120 worked hard on proposing amendments to the commission 00:48:59.120 --> 00:49:00.480 for your consideration. 00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:02.320 And ultimately that went to city council. 00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:04.920 And so that was approved six zero. 00:49:04.920 --> 00:49:08.520 So that took care of that list of zoning cases. 00:49:08.520 --> 00:49:11.360 And then last night, we also were at council 00:49:11.360 --> 00:49:16.360 and had three items on the agenda with respect to, 00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:20.880 let's see, our first one was the home zone request, 00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:25.040 which was on the south side of 380 near Ector street. 00:49:25.040 --> 00:49:27.560 And so that was the request to rezone from a plan development 00:49:27.560 --> 00:49:29.800 or excuse me, from MN zoning to the plan development 00:49:29.800 --> 00:49:32.220 district request to be able to facilitate the development 00:49:32.220 --> 00:49:34.000 of the general retail store. 00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:37.600 And that was approved by city council six zero. 00:49:37.600 --> 00:49:40.840 And then we also had a change in zoning from R2 00:49:40.840 --> 00:49:44.360 to line industrial as it related to about 10 acres 00:49:44.360 --> 00:49:48.400 that was located near 380 and Thomas Egan road. 00:49:48.400 --> 00:49:53.400 And the council voted to approve that as well seven zero. 00:49:53.400 --> 00:49:56.180 And then we got to parking in the DDC amendments 00:49:56.180 --> 00:49:57.400 with respect to that. 00:49:57.400 --> 00:49:59.440 And so as you know, the commission had a fair amount 00:49:59.440 --> 00:50:02.360 of discussion, the parking amendments, 00:50:02.360 --> 00:50:05.840 the DCRC worked through that, had four meetings 00:50:05.840 --> 00:50:07.640 and discussions related to that. 00:50:07.640 --> 00:50:11.140 And ultimately city council did approve the changes 00:50:11.140 --> 00:50:14.840 to the development code as presented. 00:50:14.840 --> 00:50:17.280 There was one change as a result of that 00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:19.520 after following much discussion. 00:50:19.520 --> 00:50:22.920 And so we did make one adjustment to the requirements 00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:25.560 as it relates to the restaurants, bars, 00:50:25.560 --> 00:50:28.280 restaurant with drive through and there was another one 00:50:28.280 --> 00:50:30.520 on that list, but it was in that box of that cluster 00:50:30.520 --> 00:50:33.640 of uses and so what we did is we refined that 00:50:33.640 --> 00:50:38.040 to make sure that the one space per four design occupancy 00:50:38.040 --> 00:50:40.880 load was specific to the areas where the indoor 00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:42.240 and outdoor seating would occur. 00:50:42.240 --> 00:50:43.800 'Cause there was some discussion as to whether or not 00:50:43.800 --> 00:50:46.200 design occupancy loads was also applying to other areas 00:50:46.200 --> 00:50:47.960 of the building so we made that adjustment. 00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:50.960 And actually it made that consistent with what we had proposed 00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:54.440 for the craft production uses in that area. 00:50:54.440 --> 00:50:57.160 So but a lot of discussion last night as it relates 00:50:57.160 --> 00:50:59.760 to parking, much of that discussion was education 00:50:59.760 --> 00:51:02.940 of other council members as to why the parking standards 00:51:02.940 --> 00:51:06.040 were proposed to them as such. 00:51:06.040 --> 00:51:10.120 And then also the council did acknowledge the challenges 00:51:10.120 --> 00:51:12.840 of trying to establish parking regulations 00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:15.520 and that it's not necessarily an exact science 00:51:15.520 --> 00:51:17.760 and it's difficult to find that perfect requirement, 00:51:17.760 --> 00:51:20.720 but especially when you take into consideration 00:51:20.720 --> 00:51:24.400 how our city has developed over the many, many years 00:51:24.400 --> 00:51:27.040 and so we have some areas that are more urban in form, 00:51:27.040 --> 00:51:29.360 other areas that are more suburban and kind of you know, 00:51:29.360 --> 00:51:30.680 and then everything else in between. 00:51:30.680 --> 00:51:33.120 So it's really trying to come up with that right parking 00:51:33.120 --> 00:51:36.320 requirement that meets our needs here in Denton. 00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:40.360 And then, but also recognizing the small businesses 00:51:40.360 --> 00:51:44.680 versus national chain businesses and trying to be, 00:51:44.680 --> 00:51:48.240 provide parking reasonable for regardless of who owns it 00:51:48.240 --> 00:51:49.880 and what the use may be. 00:51:49.880 --> 00:51:53.120 And so the council recognized also the additional 00:51:53.120 --> 00:51:55.680 flexibility that we have built within the code. 00:51:55.680 --> 00:51:58.200 And if you recall, we also, we made some amendments 00:51:58.200 --> 00:52:01.480 to allow for greater flexibility to be able to allow 00:52:01.480 --> 00:52:04.660 applicants to be able to request a different parking 00:52:04.660 --> 00:52:08.280 requirement if what we've provided for in the ordinance 00:52:08.280 --> 00:52:10.920 does not meet their needs and it's not consistent 00:52:10.920 --> 00:52:12.420 with what they're seeing in their industry 00:52:12.420 --> 00:52:13.480 as it relates to their use. 00:52:13.480 --> 00:52:16.360 So the code really has that flexibility built in 00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:18.200 and I think the commission recognized that as well. 00:52:18.200 --> 00:52:23.200 So nonetheless, like I said, that was approved 7-0 last night. 00:52:23.200 --> 00:52:28.000 And of course, parking will come back as a future discussion 00:52:28.000 --> 00:52:29.840 in light of the request that was made in the last meeting 00:52:29.840 --> 00:52:31.720 and we'll work on prioritizing that with the other 00:52:31.720 --> 00:52:33.440 ordinance amendments, starting with working with 00:52:33.440 --> 00:52:35.640 the Development Code Review Committee. 00:52:35.640 --> 00:52:38.040 Any question about any of those items? 00:52:38.040 --> 00:52:39.320 I know I just shared a lot. 00:52:39.320 --> 00:52:42.240 So, okay, couple of reminders. 00:52:42.240 --> 00:52:44.920 So the City Council Planning and Zoning Commission 00:52:44.920 --> 00:52:48.000 joint meeting that is happening on October 18th. 00:52:48.000 --> 00:52:50.040 Just want to make sure you've got that on your calendar. 00:52:50.040 --> 00:52:52.600 That's at noon and will be in the Development Service 00:52:52.600 --> 00:52:53.440 Center building. 00:52:53.440 --> 00:52:56.240 You might have received correspondence on that 00:52:56.240 --> 00:52:57.160 probably a couple months ago. 00:52:57.160 --> 00:52:58.940 I don't know if a meeting invite has been sent out 00:52:58.940 --> 00:53:03.080 for your calendars, but again, that's October 18th at noon 00:53:03.080 --> 00:53:05.520 and it will be at the Development Service building 00:53:05.520 --> 00:53:07.300 where our offices are located. 00:53:07.300 --> 00:53:10.720 And then also just a reminder, I seem to recall 00:53:10.720 --> 00:53:13.320 we had some discussion and I failed to mention 00:53:13.320 --> 00:53:15.120 in my matrix report previously. 00:53:15.120 --> 00:53:17.940 So on October 12th, that's your first regular meeting 00:53:17.940 --> 00:53:20.040 that you have in the month of October. 00:53:20.040 --> 00:53:21.840 The Planning and Zoning Commission serves 00:53:21.840 --> 00:53:26.840 as the CIAC and I'm not gonna try and butcher 00:53:26.840 --> 00:53:31.080 what all the letters stand for, but basically 00:53:31.080 --> 00:53:32.880 what it comes down to is the Planning and Zoning Commission 00:53:32.880 --> 00:53:35.720 serves as a body that reviews recommendations 00:53:35.720 --> 00:53:38.400 being made with respect to our impact fee program. 00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:41.440 And so our capital projects engineering team 00:53:41.440 --> 00:53:43.440 has been working on a roadway impact fee ordinance 00:53:43.440 --> 00:53:45.160 and needs to be able to present information 00:53:45.160 --> 00:53:48.440 to the commission in your capacity as the CIAC. 00:53:48.440 --> 00:53:51.680 And so we will be starting that meeting early 00:53:51.680 --> 00:53:52.640 on that afternoon. 00:53:52.640 --> 00:53:56.200 So we anticipate a three o'clock, 3.30 PM start time. 00:53:56.200 --> 00:53:58.160 Still need to work with capital projects engineering 00:53:58.160 --> 00:53:59.220 to see how much time they need, 00:53:59.220 --> 00:54:01.440 but that's what we had discussed previously. 00:54:01.440 --> 00:54:03.520 So just wanna make sure you've got that on your calendars 00:54:03.520 --> 00:54:07.520 as well because I know some of you have obligations at work. 00:54:07.520 --> 00:54:10.880 So with respect to that, so wanna get that scheduling. 00:54:10.880 --> 00:54:15.880 And then lastly, Selena, so as you know, 00:54:15.880 --> 00:54:19.200 tonight is Selena's last night, sorry. 00:54:19.200 --> 00:54:21.840 I was trying to avoid this. 00:54:21.840 --> 00:54:24.200 She has been a huge asset for our team 00:54:24.200 --> 00:54:25.500 as the commission's well aware of. 00:54:25.500 --> 00:54:29.140 She is that silent force that is behind all the work 00:54:29.140 --> 00:54:30.940 that we do to make sure that you all receive 00:54:30.940 --> 00:54:32.620 your agenda packets on time. 00:54:32.620 --> 00:54:34.600 She sends out all the meeting reminders. 00:54:34.600 --> 00:54:36.960 She keeps us on us also making sure that we've got 00:54:36.960 --> 00:54:39.960 all of our agenda items, content in getting 00:54:39.960 --> 00:54:42.560 that agenda packet that is published to you all. 00:54:42.560 --> 00:54:46.400 And I know she's often very quiet and very unassuming 00:54:46.400 --> 00:54:47.840 and stays behind the scenes. 00:54:47.840 --> 00:54:49.720 But as you all are well know, 00:54:49.720 --> 00:54:51.540 she does a tremendous amount of work for us. 00:54:51.540 --> 00:54:54.760 So we're very excited for her in the next chapter 00:54:54.760 --> 00:54:56.000 of her life in this new journey 00:54:56.000 --> 00:54:57.800 that she's gonna be taking with her family. 00:54:57.800 --> 00:54:59.560 So we will miss her greatly, 00:54:59.560 --> 00:55:02.600 but we know she will be fabulous where she's going as well. 00:55:02.600 --> 00:55:03.960 So hopefully she won't be a stranger. 00:55:03.960 --> 00:55:07.160 I've told her invest in a really good quality snow shovel 00:55:07.160 --> 00:55:09.420 for where she's going 'cause a cheap snow shovel 00:55:09.420 --> 00:55:11.240 will not get you by for where she's going. 00:55:11.240 --> 00:55:13.160 But nonetheless, so we just wanted to share 00:55:13.160 --> 00:55:15.280 with the commission that our team is so very grateful 00:55:15.280 --> 00:55:17.480 for the support that she's provided. 00:55:17.480 --> 00:55:21.000 And with that, I believe that concludes my... 00:55:21.000 --> 00:55:22.360 Oh, thank you. 00:55:22.360 --> 00:55:25.800 And lastly, I also want to introduce Erin Stanley. 00:55:25.800 --> 00:55:28.180 So Erin has recently joined our team. 00:55:28.180 --> 00:55:30.240 I think this is week three on the job. 00:55:30.240 --> 00:55:34.260 And she joins us as our assistant planner. 00:55:34.260 --> 00:55:36.320 Sorry, yes, assistant planner. 00:55:36.320 --> 00:55:40.080 And so she has joined us and is starting her planning career. 00:55:40.080 --> 00:55:42.680 So we are excited to have her be part of our team. 00:55:42.680 --> 00:55:46.500 So you will eventually be seeing presentations from Erin 00:55:46.500 --> 00:55:48.800 as she learns all things planning and all things Denton. 00:55:48.800 --> 00:55:51.120 So that concludes my presentation. 00:55:51.120 --> 00:55:52.320 So thank you. 00:55:52.320 --> 00:55:53.140 - Thanks. 00:55:53.140 --> 00:55:53.980 Hey, Tina, I did have a question 00:55:53.980 --> 00:55:57.520 with regard to the rundown with city council. 00:55:57.520 --> 00:56:02.200 There was a multifamily project near Sprouts 00:56:02.200 --> 00:56:04.700 that I think was supposed to be on council's agenda already. 00:56:04.700 --> 00:56:06.800 Did that just get delayed? 00:56:06.800 --> 00:56:08.800 - Yes, they withdrew that project 00:56:08.800 --> 00:56:10.600 in order to be able to allow them additional time 00:56:10.600 --> 00:56:13.080 to consider what options that they wanted to work on. 00:56:13.080 --> 00:56:14.440 I guess, Haley, was there anything else 00:56:14.440 --> 00:56:16.280 that needed to be addressed? 00:56:16.280 --> 00:56:18.880 - Thanks, Haley. 00:56:18.880 --> 00:56:22.320 - At this time, they're actually considering modifications 00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:23.160 that will bring it back 00:56:23.160 --> 00:56:24.360 to the planning and zoning commission. 00:56:24.360 --> 00:56:25.740 So you all will be seeing that again 00:56:25.740 --> 00:56:27.160 before it makes it to city council. 00:56:27.160 --> 00:56:28.400 - Oh, okay, very good. 00:56:28.400 --> 00:56:29.240 Thank you. 00:56:29.240 --> 00:56:30.060 Thank you very much. 00:56:30.060 --> 00:56:31.960 Thank you, Tina, for the update. 00:56:31.960 --> 00:56:35.520 Is there anything that we need to add to the matrix 00:56:35.520 --> 00:56:36.520 from the commission? 00:56:36.520 --> 00:56:40.040 Okay, with concluding items, 00:56:40.040 --> 00:56:41.680 I will just say a few things 00:56:41.680 --> 00:56:43.860 about how wonderful Selena is too. 00:56:43.860 --> 00:56:44.880 I talk about all the time 00:56:44.880 --> 00:56:47.320 about how wonderful our staff is here 00:56:47.320 --> 00:56:52.240 and so supportive to allow us to do the job 00:56:52.240 --> 00:56:54.000 that we're tasked with up here. 00:56:54.000 --> 00:56:56.760 Selena is that behind the scenes, 00:56:56.760 --> 00:56:59.920 always available, always there to answer 00:56:59.920 --> 00:57:04.080 whatever is needed, incredibly organized, 00:57:04.080 --> 00:57:05.720 always has our food, 00:57:05.720 --> 00:57:09.600 whatever dietary restrictions that we all have, 00:57:09.600 --> 00:57:14.520 namely me, she has just taken very good care of us 00:57:14.520 --> 00:57:15.360 over the years. 00:57:15.360 --> 00:57:18.800 So we will absolutely miss you, Selena. 00:57:18.800 --> 00:57:20.760 Thank you for everything. 00:57:20.760 --> 00:57:22.920 We are so excited for your new venture, 00:57:22.920 --> 00:57:26.580 so for you and your family, so all the best. 00:57:26.580 --> 00:57:30.120 And you will leave us in great hands with Monica. 00:57:30.120 --> 00:57:31.960 So thank you very much. 00:57:31.960 --> 00:57:34.240 Welcome, Erin. 00:57:34.240 --> 00:57:39.240 We look forward to hearing from you up here at the podium. 00:57:39.240 --> 00:57:42.020 Any other concluding items? 00:57:42.020 --> 00:57:46.920 Okay, with that, I will adjourn us at 7 18 p.m.
