00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.920
 Good afternoon and welcome to the City of Denton's Planning and Zoning Commission

00:00:03.920 --> 00:00:10.960
 meeting for Wednesday December 14th 2022 and though we are in council chambers

00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:17.040
 this is our work session and I will call us to order at 5.03 p.m. First item on

00:00:17.040 --> 00:00:24.600
 our agenda is citizen comments on consent agenda items. I do not see anyone

00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:35.760
 here to speak on that. Okay so we will go to our clarification on tonight's agenda.

00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:45.560
 First one is minutes for the 14th and the 16th meetings. Any discussion?

00:00:49.920 --> 00:01:01.480
 Okay so we'll move on to our consent agenda. Let it be known that 3B is

00:01:01.480 --> 00:01:08.400
 withdrawn. If you all did not see that in email that item is withdrawn. We will

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:18.680
 not be taking action on that. So is there any questions on consent? Okay then that

00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:24.800
 will get us to items for individual consideration. We've got a change, several

00:01:24.800 --> 00:01:32.120
 changes actually made to the calendar that we reviewed once before. So I guess

00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:37.760
 my question on that one is we now have a meeting of Sean. I see you running down

00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:45.440
 here thank you. We've now moved a meeting into spring break week with these

00:01:45.440 --> 00:01:49.800
 changes which I'm sure you're aware of. I don't know if down the road that's a

00:01:49.800 --> 00:01:54.880
 problem for getting a quorum on March 15th or not but obviously you must have

00:01:54.880 --> 00:01:58.680
 thought of that when you did that.

00:02:16.320 --> 00:02:26.360
 Okay anybody have any? Tina? I know as I say as we get closer if

00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:30.440
 commissioners plans change where we need to adjust that meeting date I would ask

00:02:30.440 --> 00:02:37.120
 you bring that to our attention. Okay but we can monitor it. Okay that's fair. So

00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:43.120
 any other questions on those changes that were made? Okay thank you very much.

00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:53.280
 Let's see okay that will take us to, that was the calendar, okay 4B. Questions?

00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.160
 Yeah come on down. You might as well give us a quick synopsis, make sure

00:02:57.160 --> 00:03:02.240
 everybody understands what's happening here. Angie Mingler senior planner

00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.960
 development services. This is a preliminary plat extension for the mark

00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:10.720
 at Denton. This site is located generally at the southeast intersection of North

00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:16.320
 Elm Street and North Bonnie Bray Street. It is approximately 28 acres zoned MR.

00:03:16.320 --> 00:03:21.200
 There was a preliminary plat approved back in January of 2020 for two lots.

00:03:21.200 --> 00:03:27.240
 Per the DDC preliminary plats do expire within 24 months after approval or in

00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.880
 accordance with the timing stipulations as indicated on the plat. This

00:03:30.880 --> 00:03:36.400
 preliminary plat stipulated that it was to expire in January of 23 if both of

00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:42.120
 the phases were not final plotted. At this time phase 1A has a approved site

00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:47.520
 plan and a final plat. However the final plat for site 2A has not been filed yet

00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:52.160
 so they're requesting an extension of up to one year and staff is recommending

00:03:52.160 --> 00:03:56.380
 approval of that as they are actively moving forward on this project. Stand for

00:03:56.380 --> 00:04:03.360
 any questions you may have. Thank you Angie. Any questions on this one?

00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:16.440
 Great. You're right up for the next one I believe as well which is 4CPP 220029 I

00:04:16.440 --> 00:04:27.120
 believe has an extension request. Thank you. This is a preliminary plat yes this

00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:32.040
 is a preliminary plat for approximately eight acre site situated on East

00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:38.400
 University just east of Geisling Road. It is approximately eight acres to be the

00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:42.480
 site of a future industrial use. At this time their preliminary plat does not

00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.680
 meet our criteria for approval so staff is recommending denial. However we have

00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.520
 no objection to the requested one-time 30-day extension which could be granted

00:04:50.520 --> 00:05:03.640
 to date certain of January 11th 2023. Okay questions on that one? Okay I believe we have a

00:05:03.640 --> 00:05:13.080
 similar for 4D. Do we have any? Yes I'm filling in for Mia this evening this is a

00:05:13.080 --> 00:05:18.680
 preliminary plat for a future multifamily development at 1173 and I-35

00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:22.520
 at this time staff is recommending denial as they don't meet our criteria

00:05:22.520 --> 00:05:26.120
 for approval but have no objection to their requested extension to a date

00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:40.120
 certain of January 11th. Questions? Okay thank you. Take us to our 4E which I

00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:44.800
 believe is going to sound similar. Hello Erin. Hi and I'm not sure how I need to

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:52.560
 get to mine. Okay all the support in the world behind you so just ask. Closer? Yep.

00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:59.560
 Okay can you hear okay? Erin Stanley is an assistant planner. This is a preliminary

00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:09.720
 plat for a 63 unit duplex unit development 21 acres and at this time

00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:14.360
 they just have not provided all the information to satisfy our requirements

00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:21.720
 but staff has no objection to a one-time extension a 30-day extension to which

00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:29.920
 would be granted to January 11th. Thank you. Any questions for Erin? Thank you

00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:39.000
 very much. That will take us to 4F which is also going to sound very similar.

00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:46.880
 Hello Ron. Good afternoon chair members of the commission. This is a preliminary

00:06:46.880 --> 00:06:52.440
 plat request for property north of 380 that is you probably look this looks

00:06:52.440 --> 00:06:56.760
 familiar for you for you all it's the proposed location of the U-Haul business

00:06:56.760 --> 00:07:02.280
 center or business complex. The preliminary plat staff is recommending

00:07:02.280 --> 00:07:07.260
 denial that due to that it does not meet the criteria for approval however staff

00:07:07.260 --> 00:07:11.840
 has no objection to their 30-day extension which could be granted to

00:07:11.840 --> 00:07:21.480
 January 11 2023. Any questions for Ron? Okay thank you very much. We've got one

00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:27.000
 public hearing for this evening so I'll invite Julie down to give us a quick

00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:32.720
 little summary on that we can take any questions if anyone has any. All right

00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:40.800
 good evening Julie Wyatt senior planner. Just a quick summary of Z2220. The

00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:45.440
 request is to rezone about 15 acres from R7 district to public facilities

00:07:45.440 --> 00:07:49.800
 district. The purpose of this request is Denton ISD has acquired the property I

00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:54.120
 believe they acquired it in about 2020. Their intent is to develop an

00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:58.400
 elementary school on the site. It's important to know that public schools

00:07:58.400 --> 00:08:03.040
 are permitted in all our zoning districts but it is the the city's practice

00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:09.280
 it is our intent for our our public facilities our government properties to

00:08:09.280 --> 00:08:13.640
 have that public facility zoning. So this request would just align this zoning

00:08:13.640 --> 00:08:20.680
 with that with that public facilities our typical arrangement. It would also

00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.200
 apply those appropriate development standards. It's consistent with the

00:08:24.200 --> 00:08:27.880
 future land use map and with the criteria for approval and so staff

00:08:27.880 --> 00:08:33.240
 recommends approval of the request. I'll be happy to answer any questions. Julie

00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:42.240
 um I saw the responses that you said a couple of them talking about road is

00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:45.080
 that gonna be part of your presentation are we talking about like the future of

00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:49.880
 Riney at all? Well I can certainly talk about it. Riney Road and it's a good

00:08:49.880 --> 00:08:56.040
 question. So Riney Road as part of the Bonnie Bray phase 6 and I saw Karina

00:08:56.040 --> 00:09:01.360
 moving so she might need to jump in on this but as part of the Bonnie Bray

00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.360
 phase 6 improvements they're also including that piece of Riney Road from

00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:10.280
 that intersection at Bonnie Bray and Riney Road to the the east property

00:09:10.280 --> 00:09:15.280
 boundary of this request. So there will be improvements in that in that area. It

00:09:15.280 --> 00:09:20.200
 hasn't been designed yet but it is is the intent. Now it does not include areas

00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:26.800
 east of that subject property so that is something as as development continues

00:09:26.800 --> 00:09:31.740
 along Riney Road there we do anticipate particularly to the east of the site

00:09:31.740 --> 00:09:37.320
 there could be at some point additional improvements but it right now there

00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:45.680
 aren't any plans for it. Did I say it right? Hi Karina. Sorry I heard my name and

00:09:45.680 --> 00:09:50.080
 I was I have to admit I was multitasking so I did hear something about Bonnie

00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:55.360
 Bray and Riney Road so just kind of some context the Bonnie Bray phase 6B does

00:09:55.360 --> 00:10:03.360
 include Riney Road from Bonnie Bray to the limits of this parcel as part of an

00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:08.400
 interlocal agreement with the city of Denton so DISD will be paying their

00:10:08.400 --> 00:10:12.960
 portion for the design and it will be included with the Bonnie Bray CIP

00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:20.160
 project so it won't extend past that parcel but it will be included with that

00:10:20.160 --> 00:10:26.560
 that project I believe it's letting by the end of this year. And it would stop

00:10:26.560 --> 00:10:32.160
 at the far east point. Yes and there is a TIA that would be part of this project

00:10:32.160 --> 00:10:35.240
 when they get to site plan to look at any other improvements that would be

00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:40.880
 necessary. Okay thank you. Commissioner Smith. Thank you Chair. Julie are they do

00:10:40.880 --> 00:10:44.400
 does this does the ISD own the land that's just the west of that or do they

00:10:44.400 --> 00:10:48.440
 just own that land in that flagship section down there on the south? They

00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:51.920
 actually own this little piece right here it was not included in their

00:10:51.920 --> 00:10:57.080
 request so I assume at some point they might be coming in for a rezoning. The

00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:59.840
 part the part that is still R7 on the zoning map there that's what you're

00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:04.240
 pointing at the little square at the top which section? Yes that's that little

00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:08.020
 square. That whole section directly the major part of it directly was the

00:11:08.020 --> 00:11:11.760
 property that's still that's not they don't own they do not own that's still

00:11:11.760 --> 00:11:17.760
 staying there within R7. Okay gotcha. I know it's the city's I know I know we

00:11:17.760 --> 00:11:21.480
 traditionally go through and do PF on that stuff but we're just basically

00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:26.000
 islanding off one little section of R7 between public facility mixed use and

00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:29.960
 more public facilities so just feels weird but I think I probably can get

00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:33.480
 over it but just feels weird.

00:11:35.640 --> 00:11:43.520
 Any other questions concerns? Okay thank you we will look forward to the

00:11:43.520 --> 00:11:51.880
 presentation at the meeting. Okay that is the last item on our agenda so with

00:11:51.880 --> 00:11:57.040
 that I'll close our work session at 515 we'll meet back here at 630 for our

00:11:57.040 --> 00:12:07.480
 regular meeting. Thank you. Good evening and welcome to the City of Denton's

00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:13.000
 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting for Wednesday December 14th 2022. With a

00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:18.320
 quorum present I will call us to order at 634 p.m. First item on our agenda is

00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:37.360
 the pledge of allegiance to the US and Texas flags. My Pledge of Allegiance to the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:55.760
 On our Texas flag, I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state, under God, one indivisible. Thank you. First up for consideration on our agenda is the approval of the Planning and Zoning

00:12:55.760 --> 00:13:13.800
 Commission meeting minutes for November 14th and November 16th. Commissioner Villarreal. I move approval. Commissioner Anderson. Second. We've got a first and a second for approval of the minutes for those two meetings.

00:13:13.800 --> 00:13:27.120
 Any discussion? Let's vote on the board please. That motion carries 7-0. That will

00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:34.840
 take us to our consent agenda this evening. Commissioner Villarreal. I move

00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:41.480
 approval of the consent agenda. Let me make note that item 3B on the consent

00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:48.280
 agenda has been withdrawn. With the removal of 3B. Very good and Commissioner

00:13:48.280 --> 00:13:52.560
 Anderson. Second. Okay we've got a first and a second for approval of the consent

00:13:52.560 --> 00:13:58.840
 agenda noting that item 3B has been withdrawn. Let's vote on the board

00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:11.760
 please. That motion carries 7-0. That will take us to our items for individual

00:14:11.760 --> 00:14:22.040
 consideration. First up is 4A PZ 22220C. We've got an update to our P&Z calendar

00:14:22.040 --> 00:14:26.960
 for next year and I'll let Tina give us a rundown on that. Thank you. So as Sean

00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:30.920
 explained earlier this evening during work session we did make a couple of

00:14:30.920 --> 00:14:35.080
 adjustments to the calendar. So you'll see as we explained in the AIS there

00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:39.440
 were changes in February and March so we slid our meeting dates by one week as a

00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:43.640
 result of council making some adjustments to their calendar. And the

00:14:43.640 --> 00:14:47.520
 primary reason for this is to help us be able to balance our workload. Not

00:14:47.520 --> 00:14:50.120
 only do we have Planning and Zoning Commission and council packets but we

00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:53.560
 also have some other boards and commissions that we support and so our

00:14:53.560 --> 00:14:57.000
 workload is condensing all in the same weeks and trying to get everything out.

00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:00.840
 So we appreciate your flexibility if you can accommodate us on those

00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:04.840
 adjustments. And then also for the meeting date in July after further

00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:09.760
 analysis of our calendar we realized we should move the meeting

00:15:09.760 --> 00:15:14.840
 date back one week to July 19th. So this assists us with our submittal schedules

00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:18.040
 and being able to accommodate the shot clock reviews and things of that nature.

00:15:18.040 --> 00:15:24.600
 So that's why we made that change. Okay great. Any questions for Tina? Okay.

00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:31.960
 Commissioner Smith. Make a motion to approve. Commissioner Cole. Second. Okay

00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.480
 we've got a first and a second for approval of the updated calendar for

00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:40.040
 next year. Let's vote on the board please.

00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:52.480
 That motion carries 7-0. That'll take us to 4-B. P-F that's P-E 2-2-0-0-2. Hi

00:15:52.480 --> 00:16:00.240
 Angie. Hi good evening chair and members of the Commission. This is a preliminary

00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:09.540
 plat extension request P-E 2-2-0-0-2 for the mark. This is a plat that was

00:16:09.540 --> 00:16:14.220
 approved, a preliminary plot that was approved back in January of 2020. The

00:16:14.220 --> 00:16:18.760
 preliminary plat created two lots for the future multifamily development at the

00:16:18.760 --> 00:16:23.520
 southeast intersection of North Elm Street and North Bonnie Bray Street. Per

00:16:23.520 --> 00:16:29.080
 DDC 2.6.3 preliminary plots are valid for 24 months unless a final

00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:32.880
 plat is filed or in accordance with the timing stipulation as provided on the

00:16:32.880 --> 00:16:37.440
 plat. The approved preliminary plat did include a note that both phases of the

00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:43.920
 plat so lot 1A and lot 2A shall be filed by January 2023 so this plat is set to

00:16:43.920 --> 00:16:48.400
 expire as at this time they've they filed the final plat for lot 1A but not

00:16:48.400 --> 00:16:55.240
 yet for 2. In accordance with the DDC this request was reviewed against our

00:16:55.240 --> 00:17:01.680
 criteria for approval. The request was submitted prior to the expiration date

00:17:01.680 --> 00:17:06.420
 of the preliminary plat that was approved and then we also performed an

00:17:06.420 --> 00:17:10.100
 analysis on the reasons for the request and if they meet our criteria

00:17:10.100 --> 00:17:14.920
 including were there any conditions that were approved at initial plat that need

00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:19.780
 to be re-reviewed. There were no special conditions that were applied to this

00:17:19.780 --> 00:17:26.680
 preliminary plat. The plat was approved under the 2019 DDC so they're still

00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:31.040
 subject to those same regulations landscaping, dimensional requirements, tree

00:17:31.040 --> 00:17:34.640
 preservation. They've included in their narrative that was in your backup a

00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:39.040
 detailed reason as to why they were not able to file the plat prior to January

00:17:39.040 --> 00:17:42.880
 23. Some of that included the pandemic that we experienced as well as

00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:49.600
 construction costs and changes in that market and then when you move forward to

00:17:49.600 --> 00:17:54.320
 grant a request you can impose any conditions that you feel are needed to

00:17:54.320 --> 00:17:57.400
 assure that this moves forward in a timely manner. This plat has been moving

00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:00.640
 forward this project has been moving forward and the applicant has shown

00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:05.040
 taking steps to get this completed including the approval of a site plan

00:18:05.040 --> 00:18:08.240
 for phase one as well as their civil engineering plans and construction of

00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:12.720
 that phase and the filing of that final plat. The zoning compliance plan for phase

00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:17.520
 two is currently under review and the applicant anticipates submitting their

00:18:17.520 --> 00:18:23.280
 final plat in the summer of 2023. So staff is recommending approval of this

00:18:23.280 --> 00:18:27.640
 request. I'm happy to answer any questions you all may have.

00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:37.760
 Thanks Angie. Any questions? Okay I do not see any. Thank you. Commissioner Smith.

00:18:37.760 --> 00:18:44.920
 Make a motion to approve the extension. Commissioner Anderson. Second. Okay we've

00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:52.620
 got a first and a second for approval of this request. Any discussion? Okay let's

00:18:52.620 --> 00:18:55.320
 vote on the board please.

00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:10.120
 That motion carries 7-0. That will take us to 4-C PP 220029. Angie's coming back

00:19:10.120 --> 00:19:16.880
 for that one. Just one second to change over here.

00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:24.320
 Good evening. Angie Mangler, Senior Planner Development Services. This is a

00:19:24.320 --> 00:19:31.440
 preliminary plat request project PP 220029 for 8.9 acre tract of land

00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:36.640
 situated just east of the intersection of Geesling Road and North University. The

00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:41.360
 intent of the development is to create a lot for future industrial warehouse uses.

00:19:41.360 --> 00:19:45.160
 At this time the plat does not meet our criteria for approval and staff is

00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:49.420
 recommending denial. However staff has no objection to their requested one-time

00:19:49.420 --> 00:19:54.420
 30-day extension which could be granted to January 11th 2023. Great. Happy to

00:19:54.420 --> 00:20:01.080
 answer any questions. Any questions for Angie? I do not see any. Thank you.

00:20:01.080 --> 00:20:04.920
 Commissioner Villarreal. I move approval of the extension to a date certain of

00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:10.840
 January 11th 2023. Commissioner Cole. Second. Okay we've got a first and a

00:20:10.840 --> 00:20:17.860
 second to approve the extension request to a date certain of 111 23. Let's vote

00:20:17.860 --> 00:20:20.440
 on the board please.

00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:33.920
 That motion carries 7-0. That'll take us to 4-D. PP 22-0026. And I believe

00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:42.240
 Angie is coming up for that one as well. Yes. Hi again. Hi. Good evening. This is

00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:48.680
 preliminary plat 22-0026. This is a 6.25 acre tract of land situated at the

00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:55.040
 northeast intersection of 1173 and I-35. The intent of the development is to

00:20:55.040 --> 00:20:59.240
 create a lot for future multifamily uses. At this time the plot does not meet our

00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:02.840
 criteria for approval and staff is recommending denial. However we have no

00:21:02.840 --> 00:21:06.560
 objection to granting the one-time extension to a date certain of January

00:21:06.560 --> 00:21:14.120
 11th 2023. Thank you Angie. I don't see any questions. Commissioner Villarreal. I

00:21:14.120 --> 00:21:18.840
 move approval of the extension to a date certain of January 11th 2023.

00:21:18.840 --> 00:21:23.960
 Commissioner McDade. Second. We've got a first and a second to approve the

00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:31.800
 extension request to a date certain of 111 23. Any discussion? Let's vote on the

00:21:31.800 --> 00:21:48.320
 board please. That motion carries 7-0. That will take us to 4-E. PP 22-0028.

00:21:48.320 --> 00:21:54.600
 Invite Erin Stanley up to present. Hi. Hi. Good evening chair and members of the

00:21:54.600 --> 00:22:04.720
 commission. This is PP 22-0028. This is a preliminary plot on 21 acres for 63, I

00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:11.100
 believe 63, yeah duplex development, duplex lots. At this time this plot does

00:22:11.100 --> 00:22:14.760
 not meet our criteria for approval but staff has no objection to the requested

00:22:14.760 --> 00:22:20.120
 extension which would be granted to January 11th 2023. Thank you Erin.

00:22:20.120 --> 00:22:28.080
 Appreciate it. Commissioner Villarreal. I move approval of the extension to a date

00:22:28.080 --> 00:22:32.560
 certain of January 11th 2023. Okay. Commissioner Cole. Second. Got a first and a

00:22:32.560 --> 00:22:39.160
 second to approve the extension request to a date certain of 111 23. Seeing no

00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:42.600
 discussion let's vote on the board please.

00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:53.300
 That motion carries 7-0 taking us to 4-F. PP 22-0030. Good evening Ron. Good

00:22:53.300 --> 00:22:56.520
 evening chair and members of the commission. I'm the principal planner. This is a

00:22:56.520 --> 00:23:03.920
 preliminary plot PP 22-30 for a future U-Haul business, self storage business.

00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:10.000
 Through staff's review of the plan the subject plan does not meet the approval

00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:14.400
 criteria therefore staffs recommend denial. However, staff does not have any

00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:21.680
 objections to the extension requests to the January 11 2023 date. Great. Thank you

00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:32.800
 Ron. Any questions for Ron? Commissioner Britt. I move approval of the

00:23:32.800 --> 00:23:39.720
 applicant requested extension to the date certain of January 11th 2023. Did

00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:45.520
 you say 2023? Okay good. I didn't hear. Commissioner Smith. Second. Okay we've got a

00:23:45.520 --> 00:23:49.920
 first and a second for approval of the requested extension to a date certain of

00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:58.760
 111 23. Okay. Seeing no one needing discussion let's vote on the board.

00:23:58.760 --> 00:24:09.200
 That motion carries 7-0 taking us to our public hearing portion of the evening

00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:16.520
 and that would be one item this evening 5AZ 220020. Hi Julie. I'm going to go

00:24:16.520 --> 00:24:20.480
 ahead and open the public hearing and then you can give us your presentation.

00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:24.400
 Good evening. I'm Julie Wyatt, senior planner with the City of Denton and I am

00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:31.640
 presenting Z2220 Riney Elementary to you tonight. So the request before you is to

00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:36.500
 rezone approximately 15 acres from the existing R7 district to a public

00:24:36.500 --> 00:24:42.640
 facilities district. The intent and the purpose of this request is to facilitate

00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:47.660
 the development of an elementary school. It is important to note that elementary

00:24:47.660 --> 00:24:51.080
 schools and public schools are permitted in all zoning districts within the City

00:24:51.080 --> 00:24:56.280
 of Denton but properties that are owned by government government entities

00:24:56.280 --> 00:25:01.080
 typically have that PF zoning in the City of Denton so this just aligns the

00:25:01.080 --> 00:25:06.480
 the zoning of the property to be consistent with our existing zoning

00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:11.200
 characteristics. You can see on your screen there is a map that shows the

00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:16.760
 existing zoning sorry sorry they're they're backwards the proposed zoning is

00:25:16.760 --> 00:25:21.480
 on your right with the brown and then the existing zoning would would change

00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:25.840
 the map to that blue color consistent with the existing zoning to the south

00:25:25.840 --> 00:25:32.880
 which is our a park property one of our regional parks. The approval criteria for

00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:37.480
 rezoning or in subchapter 2 we won't go over all of them. I will say that staff

00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:40.480
 has analyzed the request and has determined that it meets the criteria

00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:44.560
 for approval but just some highlights it is consistent with the comprehensive

00:25:44.560 --> 00:25:48.800
 plan and we'll take a little bit deeper dive on that. It's also consistent with

00:25:48.800 --> 00:25:53.400
 the purpose of the public facilities district and the city's approach to our

00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:58.320
 government or to properties that are owned by government and also there are

00:25:58.320 --> 00:26:02.720
 additional schools that are needed in our city to accommodate student growth.

00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:07.960
 So Denton plan or I'm sorry Denton 2040 comprehensive plan designates the

00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:12.600
 property as moderate residential. You can see on your screen the property has a

00:26:12.600 --> 00:26:17.320
 red star in the general area and that's in that orange color which is that

00:26:17.320 --> 00:26:21.960
 moderate residential future land use. This category is typically intended for

00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:27.720
 our moderate density residential areas but within that it also includes land

00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:31.840
 uses to support our neighborhoods and that includes appropriately scaled

00:26:31.840 --> 00:26:37.120
 public and quasi public uses such as educational facilities. So this this

00:26:37.120 --> 00:26:42.880
 proposed zoning and use fits right within that moderate residential future

00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:46.440
 land use designation. Additionally our comprehensive plan talks about our

00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:51.240
 educational goals within the city of Denton. We recently had a meeting with

00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:54.880
 Denton ISD and they said that DISD is one of the fastest growing school

00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:59.280
 districts within North Texas so they're definitely growing and adding more

00:26:59.280 --> 00:27:04.240
 students and so additional schools are needed to accommodate that new growth

00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:08.480
 and our housing and neighborhoods goal three speaks to that that we want to

00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:12.240
 maintain and improve the livability of our neighborhoods with those adequate

00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:17.520
 public facilities and that includes schools. We also look at impacts to

00:27:17.520 --> 00:27:21.280
 surrounding property as I mentioned public schools are permitted in all

00:27:21.280 --> 00:27:28.120
 zoning districts and that PF district has and I've also got the development

00:27:28.120 --> 00:27:31.600
 standards within the PF district and just know that any development of the

00:27:31.600 --> 00:27:34.960
 site would have to comply with the Denton development codes requirements

00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:40.640
 for adequate buffers, parking lot screening, and overall landscaping and

00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:46.560
 architecture. We also look at changes in the area when we look at a zoning

00:27:46.560 --> 00:27:51.200
 designation as we've talked about in previous projects there has been

00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:56.800
 substantial growth within the north part of our city. I took this graphic from one

00:27:56.800 --> 00:28:01.080
 of my previous presentations recently showing just all of those residential

00:28:01.080 --> 00:28:05.160
 projects that are currently under development and actually this I don't

00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:08.200
 think this even includes all of them because we do have a couple of more that

00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:12.880
 have come in so there's been substantial growth. While DISD doesn't quite know

00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:17.520
 what the attendance boundary of this school will be it is you know we do need

00:28:17.520 --> 00:28:20.280
 those additional schools in this area because there's going to be a lot more

00:28:20.280 --> 00:28:25.120
 students and I've just got the Denton ISD attendance boundary just to show

00:28:25.120 --> 00:28:31.840
 that currently this this area is in the Evers school school but but likely that

00:28:31.840 --> 00:28:39.600
 will change. Public outreach was sent out. We received two or I'm sorry

00:28:39.600 --> 00:28:45.920
 three letters in favor of the request. We did have a receive a comment today in

00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:52.200
 opposition to the request. That property is located along this eastern edge of

00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:57.800
 the the 200 foot boundary so just to give you an idea of where that is. So

00:28:57.800 --> 00:29:01.560
 based upon the criteria for approval staff recommend recommends approval of

00:29:01.560 --> 00:29:05.760
 the request and I will be happy to stand with any questions. Thank You Julie.

00:29:05.760 --> 00:29:14.400
 Questions for Julie? I know that that the the online comment is what you were

00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:21.680
 talking about for the the one in opposition right and I know they made

00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:27.120
 note of concerns on the roadway so I'm thinking maybe Karina can you come up

00:29:27.120 --> 00:29:32.240
 and just explain what is what would happen to Riney Road with this

00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:37.280
 development? Good evening Karina Maldonado transportation planner with

00:29:37.280 --> 00:29:42.600
 development services. So as we mentioned in the work session Riney Road is part

00:29:42.600 --> 00:29:46.640
 of an interlocal agreement with the city of Denton as part of Bonnie Bray phase

00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:53.200
 6B so as that project moves forward there is an agreement for the city to do

00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:58.160
 the roadway construction in participation with DISD so it would be

00:29:58.160 --> 00:30:02.720
 included at the same time so once that project lets that portion of Riney Road

00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:10.080
 would also be included and up to the property boundaries so that that would

00:30:10.080 --> 00:30:16.360
 be something that is addressed prior to the school being up and running and then

00:30:16.360 --> 00:30:22.560
 in addition DISD is working on their traffic impact analysis currently so they

00:30:22.560 --> 00:30:28.120
 will be looking at traffic impacts around the area and then including the

00:30:28.120 --> 00:30:33.280
 improvements to Bonnie Bray and signalization along the way as part of

00:30:33.280 --> 00:30:37.080
 their analysis just for additional information based on that they're

00:30:37.080 --> 00:30:42.200
 actually using the proposed attendance zone for this school so it's not

00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:46.640
 finalized but they are using that I believe it's a mile and a half boundary

00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:51.840
 for the elementary as part of their analysis. Okay great thank you for that

00:30:51.840 --> 00:30:59.280
 explanation I appreciate it. Any questions for staff? Okay this is a

00:30:59.280 --> 00:31:04.560
 public hearing is there anyone wishing to speak? I do not see anyone in council

00:31:04.560 --> 00:31:11.680
 chambers so I will go ahead and close the public hearing and open for a motion

00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:17.440
 Commissioner Smith. Make a motion to approve. Commissioner Anderson. Second.

00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:24.040
 We've got a first and a second for approval any discussion? Let's go ahead

00:31:24.040 --> 00:31:34.000
 and vote on the board please. That motion carries seven zero that will take us to

00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:38.640
 our Planning and Zoning Commission matrix and I will turn it over to Tina.

00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:45.320
 Thank you Chairwoman Dulles so with respect to the matrix we did add the one

00:31:45.320 --> 00:31:49.280
 requested item so hopefully I captured that correctly and summarized it I know

00:31:49.280 --> 00:31:53.440
 we were trying this was a result of the the specific use permit request that we

00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:57.120
 had for the cell tower that was encroaching within the airport hazard

00:31:57.120 --> 00:32:00.920
 or height hazard district so we've added that to our matrix and we'll work on

00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:04.920
 getting a work session discussion at a future date so but that was the only

00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:11.240
 change that we had to the matrix. Then also with respect to City Council action

00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:15.520
 so a couple of our several items to report on so we've had two City Council

00:32:15.520 --> 00:32:18.720
 meetings since the last time the Planning and Zoning Commission met so

00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:27.200
 back on December 6th so a couple of items that I wanted to bring to your

00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:31.400
 attention so as you're well aware of we've had past conversations about

00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:36.320
 initiating some area plan work so we have been busy thanks to Ron's

00:32:36.320 --> 00:32:41.440
 assistance on getting the RFQs out on the street and so we have selected a

00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:44.560
 consultant and awarded a contract for Northeast Denton so that was on the

00:32:44.560 --> 00:32:49.880
 agenda and was approved. We've selected HDR architecture to be able to partner

00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:55.040
 with us as we work on the Northeast area plan and I anticipate a contract here to

00:32:55.040 --> 00:32:59.680
 be on on council's agenda probably late January at the earliest probably more

00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:03.280
 likely February for Southeast Denton we're still working on finalizing

00:33:03.280 --> 00:33:09.200
 consultant selection on that and then we also have the downtown area plan RFQ

00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:13.200
 out and we're anticipating responses by the end of this month as relates to that

00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:17.120
 so we're next year we'll be busy especially because we'll have

00:33:17.120 --> 00:33:19.560
 opportunities to have discussions with the Planning and Zoning Commission on

00:33:19.560 --> 00:33:23.880
 each of those projects so we we are working on initiating Northeast area plan

00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:30.280
 right after the first of the year. So we also had a couple of public hearing

00:33:30.280 --> 00:33:34.760
 items so the first was with respect to amending the Denton development code and

00:33:34.760 --> 00:33:38.640
 the access requirements if you recall we kind of had a mixed bag of all things

00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:42.720
 access amendments that the Commission also considered so City Council did

00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:47.840
 approve that 6-0. We also had a request to rezone property from a plan

00:33:47.840 --> 00:33:52.680
 development R7 zoning district to R6 for about 21 acres land on Mockingbird

00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:56.400
 Lane I believe that was the plat that Erin had presented on this evening so

00:33:56.400 --> 00:33:59.960
 that was approved by City Council 6-0. There were a few questions regarding the

00:33:59.960 --> 00:34:03.200
 access and I know the Commission had a fair amount of discussion with respect

00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:07.200
 to that as well but ultimately Council felt that the existing standards that we

00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:10.040
 have in the DDC as well as the amendments we just made would adequately

00:34:10.040 --> 00:34:15.800
 take care of addressing the access needs for that property as it develops. We also

00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:20.280
 had the specific use permit to allow for a new monopole tower

00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:25.520
 well 150 feet in height again this is the one that was related to the airport

00:34:25.520 --> 00:34:30.480
 height hazard overlay district Council did approve that 6-0 there was some

00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:36.000
 discussion about the quirkiness of the code in the ZBA action so we informed

00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:40.360
 Council that the Commission shares some similar concerns and so but nonetheless

00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:45.240
 they went ahead and approved that item. We also had another rezoning from rural

00:34:45.240 --> 00:34:49.880
 residential to a light industrial zoning district for approximately 30 acres

00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:54.200
 located east of Lover's Lane and about 1,800 feet north of the intersection of

00:34:54.200 --> 00:35:01.360
 FM 1173 and Lover's and so that was also approved 6-0 by City Council. Then a

00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:06.680
 couple items and that may be coming before us here soon with respect to some

00:35:06.680 --> 00:35:10.640
 annexation of land so we had the second reading that's required for annexation

00:35:10.640 --> 00:35:15.000
 requests and this was for roughly 82 acres of land located on the north side

00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:19.840
 of Bartholomew Road approximately 1,300 feet west of I-35 so that was

00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:24.000
 successfully annexed into the city so I would anticipate probably having a zoning

00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:27.480
 case moving forward at some point in time given them the temporary zoning

00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:31.200
 designation that it'll receive upon approve or that occurred with the

00:35:31.200 --> 00:35:34.520
 approval of the annexation and then also there was an amendment that was required

00:35:34.520 --> 00:35:38.400
 to the non annexation agreement that included that property and so some

00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:42.920
 adjustments had to be made so that's all that was on the December 6th agendas we

00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:49.120
 had kind of a busy night that night and then last night at City Council really

00:35:49.120 --> 00:35:53.040
 the key items that we had that really include work that the Planning and

00:35:53.040 --> 00:35:56.840
 Zoning Commission has considered in the past were all four of our criteria

00:35:56.840 --> 00:36:01.400
 manuals so solid waste and recycling the stormwater the transportation and then

00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:04.640
 the water and wastewater criteria manuals so those were all approved

00:36:04.640 --> 00:36:07.880
 unanimously last night so we appreciate the feedback that the Commission had

00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:12.040
 given our team on being able to complete that and word on the street is they're

00:36:12.040 --> 00:36:16.200
 already talking about items for next year's amendments so but nonetheless we

00:36:16.200 --> 00:36:20.240
 council was very pleased and we were able to get those items approved so that

00:36:20.240 --> 00:36:23.000
 concludes my report for the Commission and happy to address any questions you

00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:32.400
 may have thank you Tina anything to add to the matrix okay very good concluding

00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:39.560
 items I will just say happy holidays everyone be safe in whatever and however

00:36:39.560 --> 00:36:48.480
