00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:25,140

4
00:00:25,140 --> 00:00:30,440
 Caroline first meeting without her line I'm sorry I know she meant a lot to the

5
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:35,560
 staff and all the people on the board and if we could have a moment of silence

6
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,480
 I think that would be appropriate thank you

7
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:54,160
 all right on a lighter note we have a new guest here Erica Pangburn is the new

8
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,440
 president of the Chamber of Commerce and I hate that stores if I can't make that

9
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,640
 segue any better than that but I wanted to make sure everybody had a chance to

10
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,400
 meet Erica I think you'll find out she'll be very delightful and exciting

11

00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,240
 the exciting things you're doing and experiencing that from without having

 cards please contact me anytime thanks Erica all right our first item before we

23
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,520
 get started we're going a little bit backwards today you probably noticed on

24
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,860
 your agenda that we do have a closed session item to talk to you because it's

25
00:02:16,860 --> 00:02:23,120
 closed session we'll do that at the end of our agenda so we're gonna look at our

26
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:29,360
 first item is EDP 19 - 0 1 4 to consider approval of the minutes from our

27
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:38,080
 February 13th meeting so I'll take a motion if anybody is so inclined

28
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:47,400
 approval as previously distributed to the board motion and a second all those

29
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:55,520
 in favor say aye aye any opposed all right I asked earlier and I hate to keep

30
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:01,760
 skipping staff reports we do have a long agenda on the city staff reporters or

31
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:09,500
 anything that that we must talk about or we need to bring up I don't want to miss

32
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:12,400
 anything if there's something on there but all the information is in your file

33
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,560
 to take a look at it's really good information so hopefully everybody's had

34
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:22,720
 a chance to look at that Adam same thing do you have anything you'd like to bring

35
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:29,760
 up any questions on the report anybody have any questions on any any of the

36
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:36,440
 reports that you thoroughly read thank you staff I know you're doing a lot of

37
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:42,800
 work and I hate to keep skipping that but we do have a long agenda all right our

38
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,440
 first item we're going to get to talk about is to receive a report hold

39
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:52,040
 discussion and give staff direction on our economic development partnership

40
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:57,960
 business award nomination nominations and selection process that's item EDP 19 -

41
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:05,520
 11 and looks like Michelle is up to visit with us about that thank you it's

42
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:12,720
 deja vu all over again to quote Yogi Berra each year the economic development

43
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,920
 partnership board has selected a company to recognize at the annual mayor council

44
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,880
 business breakfast award and they have looked at the company's public private

45
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,920
 partnerships and very much a focus on the growth and success of the company

46
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:35,040
 as a result of this over time the EDP board has recognized predominantly

47
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:41,480
 larger businesses and I think most of our our stellar we're lucky that we have

48
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:46,560
 so many wonderful businesses in Denton and a great number of them have been

49
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:53,060
 recognized however last August the EDP board had expressed their interest in

50
00:04:53,060 --> 00:04:58,160
 developing some criteria that would allow the board to present maybe a second

51
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:04,760
 or an instead of type of recognition to smaller business and in looking at that

52
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,080
 we wanted to make sure that we were not replicating the efforts of the Denton

53
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,200
 Chamber of Commerce because for years the Chamber of Commerce has also

54
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:17,640
 provided a small business award so the difference between those would be that

55
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:22,640
 the typically for the chamber they look at the company having been a chamber

56
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,800
 member in good standing with greater than you know at least or greater than

57
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:32,320
 two years of business within Denton and in good standing they look at their

58
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,600
 business history and their overall management and their work environment and

59
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,880
 a lot of times whether they've had to overcome hardship or not as a course of

60
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:46,240
 their business operations and how they've managed to that so that has been

61
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,920
 a great deal of that focus I know this board has been very interested and always

62
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,800
 asks what the company is going to do for the community when you've looked at

63
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:03,280
 incentives and things along those lines and I think that the prior criteria

64
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:08,520
 which are included here in your backup and exhibit to these are the criteria

65
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,600
 that you've used for the larger businesses and what we've attempted to

66
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,120
 do is to adhere to those as closely as possible but make them much more

67
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,960
 flexible so that they could encompass some things that were more typical of

68
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:27,440
 private or in smaller companies so if you look at exhibit three these are the

69
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:36,560
 proposed criterion for considering smaller business and I'm sorry exhibit

70
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:47,440
 three oh I'm sorry page 33 thank you and just ask you we will have the Mayor

71
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,640
 Council business breakfast award either the first or second week of September

72
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:56,160
 again and so we'll be coming back to you and asking you for nominations in June

73
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:02,640
 for businesses that you would like to consider once again staff will put

74
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:08,560
 together to make the matrix for you to do comparisons within the criteria for

75
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,720
 large and for small business if that's what you decide so that you can make a

76
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:20,200
 determination in August July or August if he'd like to award in in September so

77
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,200
 that's kind of the time frame for this but if you take a look at exhibit three

78
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:30,360
 those were the the aspects that we thought would be of interest to you and

79
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:40,600
 we just ask you for feedback on those or if those look good to you so Michelle

80
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:46,200
 who decides whether they meet their criterion or not well within the

81
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:52,880
 category they the company has researched and that material is put in that matrix

82
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:58,360
 so anything that they have accomplished or or done goes in that matrix for you

83
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:04,280
 to compare side-by-side it's been a big spreadsheet in the past and that's

84
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:16,360
 provided to you ahead of time Jill jester I didn't see a definition and

85
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,180
 maybe I just missed it when I reviewed the packet earlier of the definition of

86
00:08:20,180 --> 00:08:24,880
 a small business has that been established it not really and that's

87
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,520
 great it's established different ways with the small business administration a

88
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,880
 lot of times it depends on what type of business that you're in whether it's a

89
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,860
 small business or not I think that what's been the stumbling block here is

90
00:08:37,860 --> 00:08:43,400
 that the criterion for comparison previously had very much focused on the

91
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:50,560
 number of jobs and the investment the tax investment in the community and so

92
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:55,160
 quite typically everyone who has been awarded in the past has had over a

93
00:08:55,160 --> 00:09:00,160
 hundred employees and often well over a hundred employees so I would say that a

94
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,560
 hundred employees and less and I know that Texas Workforce Solutions in their

95
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:09,760
 grant composition has one structure for companies over a hundred employees and

96
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:18,560
 another one for less than a hundred so really that would be up to you we're not

97
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:24,480
 doing either or so it really could just be a business award that's up to you

98
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,360
 whether you want to present two awards or one you could certainly present to a

99
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:33,360
 larger business any smaller business and then that wouldn't more specific today

100
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,880
 is not an action item this was just an idea it was not the board coming forward

101
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,400
 and voting and saying this is what we wanted to do it was a discussion and

102
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,880
 that's still where we are today correct with some more input that was asked from

103
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:52,520
 the staff is that correct yes so I think this is great and of course this is

104
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,680
 something that that I brought up a while ago and I'm glad that we're having this

105
00:09:56,680 --> 00:10:02,880
 conversation I I would like to keep it to separate awards because I think it's

106
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,640
 different criteria and I that's where I'm coming from and I think we have

107
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:12,320
 plenty of businesses to fill both of those categories that need to be

108
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,760
 recognized okay

109
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:25,920
 any other comments or questions

110
00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:33,080
 do we need to at some point then decide if we're gonna do one or two and put

111
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,640
 that on if we're gonna nominate folks we need to know what the criteria

112
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:43,560
 difference with whether we want to as a group or not and or if we do move forward

113
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:48,040
 we need to have some kind of correct I think you need to officially decide

114
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,480
 whether you want to do one or two and certainly there's no reason you can't do

115
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,800
 two I think that had been the prior discussion too and I need to have

116
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:02,200
 specified in here stating what constitutes a large versus a smaller

117
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:07,040
 business something that that would then be meets criteria as a smaller business

118
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:14,080
 so I would be looking at probably a hundred or fewer employees as being a

119
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:22,160
 small business if if that meets with the group's approval and certainly someone

120
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:27,080
 has other criteria they want to use that would be something we need to vote on it

121
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:41,080
 had to be on the future agenda yes so that we don't waste the staff's time does

122
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:46,880
 everybody interested in moving forward with looking at a small and large

123
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:56,880
 business or not comments I don't know that I'm against it I would say that you

124
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,880
 know I just don't want to dilute the top you know what we do is business of the

125
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:06,160
 year it does seem a little duplicative with the chamber doesn't give out a

126
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,480
 large a small or I mean it's only a small business award so I don't know

127
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:17,080
 that I'm seeing a large difference between the criteria in those two these

128
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:23,720
 are just my thoughts it is noted in our backup though that that award has to go

129
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,240
 to a chamber member and so there are some businesses that aren't necessarily

130
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:34,400
 chamber members that I think should be recognized eventually

131
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:47,200
 Erica so if this helps the first week of May every year is national small

132
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:53,040
 business week so going forward in the chamber we hope to starting next year

133
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:59,760
 really tout that and draw attention to small businesses during that week so I

134
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,840
 don't know how this works on your schedule of offering that awards but if

135
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,500
 you were going to offer to national small business week would be a good time

136
00:13:07,500 --> 00:13:11,080
 to celebrate all of our small businesses and offer something specifically for

137
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,200
 them and then you could set your business of the year

138
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:27,880
 my two cents are typically it's been larger businesses because they make a

139
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:32,360
 bigger impact on it's easier to make a big impact on employment numbers and

140
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,020
 those kind of things that being said we've got plenty of businesses to

141
00:13:36,020 --> 00:13:38,720
 recognize or a lot of them doing some good things I don't know what it would

142
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:44,400
 hurt to have an additional business from from us do that all that does is spread

143
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:52,200
 good cheer and and help recognize some some folks so I'd be for that

144
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:14,560
 I don't know that we can I don't know that we can vote on an agenda item that

145
00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:17,860
 wasn't on I mean to create a new small business awards is it wasn't on the

146
00:14:17,860 --> 00:14:24,800
 agenda to vote on my name is Tony point down the chief financial officer I have

147
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:29,900
 stepped in in an interim to run economic development what I'm hearing is some

148
00:14:29,900 --> 00:14:35,480
 consensus from you saying come back to the board with these two criteria and

149
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,320
 applications we'll come back to you and it will entertain at that point we'll

150
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,840
 make those action items and we'll have the criteria for you and you can then

151
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,760
 debate on how you want to do that and if the if the committee doesn't want to do

152
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:51,140
 the small business application prefers that we do something different as Eric

153
00:14:51,140 --> 00:14:55,080
 has suggested we can certainly discuss that at that point as well but I'm hearing

154
00:14:55,080 --> 00:15:03,560
 a consensus I think that'd be great okay thank you thanks Michelle all right we

155
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:08,760
 have two recommendations from our downtown economic development task force

156
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:17,760
 to consider today and the first one is item 19 - 16 to hold a report give

157
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:28,880
 discussion on a grand amount of $10,000 for 111 Industrial Street Julie I do have

158
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:34,160
 with me some copies of the scoring sheet this kind of came up at the last council

159
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,880
 meeting if you would like to have these in your hands you can kind of see in a

160
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:42,960
 large it's on this it's on here but in a larger format kind of what the scoring

161
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:49,120
 is that might help you these projects are reviewed with the following

162
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,840
 considerations in mind these are in the grant policy that the project increases

163
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:59,160
 property valuation or increases the sales tax we it is looked at for

164
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:04,280
 historical accuracy or design quality improves capacity of water waste water

165
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,040
 or electric service so we have some confusion about that what that means is

166
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:12,480
 you are going from a two inch water pipe to a four inch water pipe which might

167
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,400
 help serve the entire area you're increasing from a phase two to a phase

168
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:22,200
 three transformer which might benefit the entire area improvements to health

169
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,960
 and safety results in significant increase in downtown population that is

170
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,440
 foot traffic day or night or both and then the other impacts could include

171
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:36,220
 partners with another business like shared parking is a target business like

172
00:16:36,220 --> 00:16:40,240
 a grocery store or pharmacy and promotes the development of arts and

173
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:45,600
 entertainment downtown so now and we have recently changed this this may be

174
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:51,480
 the first one you're seeing with the new criteria these first few are were in the

175
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:56,200
 old one the facade rehabilitation and building renovation awnings and signage

176
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,400
 impact fee reimbursement utility upgrades which falls under what I just

177
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:05,160
 talked about the increases and then we added after the fire at the mini mall

178
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:10,720
 last year we added interior and code improvements which includes as space to

179
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:16,000
 asbestos removal lead paint removal and the addition of fire suppression systems

180
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:22,920
 so we have discovered that's an important thing so this is the sheet

181
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,600
 that I just handed out to you it's not very readable right here but you can see

182
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:33,080
 it in your hands the recommendations up there you can see the score 25 to 30 is

183
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:39,880
 up to 25,000 20 to 24 is up to 10,000 recommendation 15 to 19 up to 5 and

184
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:51,120
 then under 15 does not qualify so this is 111 industrial street this is the

185
00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:56,360
 Steve's current location at 219 is East Hickory I'm sure none of you have ever

186
00:17:56,360 --> 00:18:01,600
 been there this is a map showing that location where it is just so you get a

187
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,000
 feeling it is right there what we in the heart of what we call our entertainment

188
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,720
 district and this is the this was the front it doesn't look like this right

189
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,000
 now this was the front of seniors in motion this is the area that they're

190
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,840
 going to move into this will about double their space and give them an

191
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:22,920
 opportunity to have a patio and a real stage area right now they have music

192
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,640
 several nights a week but as you walk in the musicians are immediately to your

193
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:31,180
 left and so they have noticed that some people oh there's people playing we

194
00:18:31,180 --> 00:18:34,680
 shouldn't go in you know under so they're gonna have a real stage at another

195
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,960
 location not by the front door they'll have a nice patio in the back as well

196
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:44,080
 this is kind of a layout of the interior this is also in your backup if you need

197
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,520
 to see it a little closer so they're going to have a private tasting room an

198
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:53,640
 office humidor as well this will also give them an opportunity for their

199
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:58,520
 cigar smokers to go out on the patio and enjoy their cigars stage will be over

200
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:05,680
 here and the bar is right about there so their eligible expenses are

201
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:12,120
 improvements to the facade are 20,000 awnings are 10,000 signs 13,000 the

202
00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:16,680
 impact fees is an estimate it's probably a low estimate of 5,000 utility upgrades

203
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:22,120
 are 20,000 for a total of 68,000 we estimate that project is probably

204
00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:26,720
 already above that amount the total cost is always above the amount when they

205
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:33,840
 first turn it in they are requesting $25,000 Steve severance the owner and I'm

206
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,640
 sorry Roger I Roger Anderson I looked over there and thought it was Tim baby

207
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,520
 from a distance so I need my glasses checked they are here to answer any

208
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:48,280
 questions if you have questions of them the previous review back in September

209
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,760
 the downtown task force looked at this and recommended $10,000 that was a

210
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:58,880
 unanimous vote their average score was 24 so that score of 20 to 24 gives them

211
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:05,480
 a recommendation of up to $10,000 so we are seeking a recommendation to pass on

212
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:12,420
 to City Council regarding this when we changed the grant back in October we are

213
00:20:12,420 --> 00:20:17,360
 now taking every grant to City Council and that will be going forward as

214
00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:22,880
 well because of the TIF board being involved I will tell you right now this

215
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:28,840
 money is still in general fund right this moment in that fund there's a

216
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:33,360
 hundred and eight thousand five hundred and thirteen dollars we do have five

217
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:38,960
 grants that are in process if all five of those grants go through at the amount

218
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,360
 that they've been recommended that will leave that balance at thirty eight

219
00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:47,220
 thousand five hundred and thirteen dollars including today's including today's

220
00:20:47,220 --> 00:20:54,520
 including the two today so they would you like to say anything Steve you can

221
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:59,920
 get up and say anything he has a question I'm sorry well yeah I'm glad

222
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:03,120
 that you asked that I wanted to clarify if that included these two as well and

223
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:08,440
 so just for more clarity this is not into the TIF just yet these funds are

224
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,720
 still from what we have left right these are still in the general fund from the

225
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,560
 previous balance that we had before the council said use this fund first then

226
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,760
 once this fund is gone we will go to the hundred thousand in the TIF fund and

227
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:27,840
 designated especially for this purpose right and and state law is pretty pretty

228
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:33,480
 stringent about the TIF district and what can be done so any anything that

229
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,600
 receives a grant out of the TIF fund has got to be located in the TIF map in the

230
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:44,840
 district just so you know Steve if you want to say something you'll have to

231
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:50,080
 come to the microphones our large studio audience can can hear what you'd like to

232
00:21:50,080 --> 00:22:02,960
 say and thank you for allowing us to come in and speak to you I love the

233
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,600
 Yogi Berra reference at the beginning one of the things that I always heard is

234
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,360
 one of the stories I heard is Yogi Berra was asked about his favorite Italian

235
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:15,760
 restaurant out in New York and he goes I don't know nobody goes there anymore

236
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:20,720
 because it's too busy and that's the way we feel you know we have as Julie had

237
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,880
 mentioned we have people walk by the front door they look in they go my gosh

238
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,440
 I can't fit in there there's no place to sit and so I'm amazed and just you know

239
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,720
 two and a half years we've approached that and I'm so pleased of the support

240
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:37,040
 that the city's given us and I hope that today we'll get a little extra support

241
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:42,200
 financially but as Julie implied we have pretty much blown through that 68,000 and

242
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:48,240
 have a lot of fun things going on there Roger Anderson has been a big help on

243
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:53,840
 moving the project forward TAVC has been an interesting organization to work with

244
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:58,800
 once again but overall you know we're moving forward our plan right now is if

245
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:04,560
 at all possible to get our CEO this month and get ready to move in assuming

246
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:09,680
 TAVC issues my dual license in May so sometime mid-may we'll get there so

247
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:15,320
 we're really close we're really excited and look forward to making that move so

248
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:23,960
 any questions for me will you be doing any kind of I guess insulation for sound

249
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:29,640
 for separating the businesses so I know there's another location just at the end

250
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:35,280
 that does live-blog music yep are you yes we're not we're not we're not doing

251
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:40,760
 a whole significant build out of a sound system or repression system in there

252
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:46,760
 right now because we do jazz we're not bringing in rock bands we're not doing

253
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:53,080
 all the you know the big heavy stuff so it tends to be more acoustical and so we

254
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:58,200
 didn't do any type of sound evaluation to see if we would impact primarily

255
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,640
 text office who you know where the sound is going to be coming from the the

256
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,560
 stage is essentially on the wall with text office we have not done any sound

257
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:11,560
 testing to see if that would impact their business but initially based on

258
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,000
 what we experienced over in our current place I don't think it will be in a

259
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:24,000
 dramatic impact and if it is we'll take care of that. Anybody else? Thanks Steve.

260
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:32,640
 All right thank you. There's no more comments or questions on this item feel

261
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:42,440
 free to make a motion. I'll make a motion to approve the full request and

262
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:49,000
 just say congrats on growing so quickly that's pretty great.

263
00:24:49,000 --> 00:25:09,000
 Somebody like to second that? All right we have a motion and a second. Any

264
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:16,040
 further discussion? All those in favor say aye. Any opposed? Motion carries.

265
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:26,840
 Step two of three. Thank you. All right our next agenda item is 19-17 and it

266
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:34,120
 is for a grant request on 101 West Hickory and you may know that as the

267
00:25:34,120 --> 00:25:40,200
 former Abby Ian. So this the Steve's was originally on the March agenda so this

268
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,760
 I'm just going to go through these slides really quickly because we just

269
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,800
 covered them so I just had two presentations because they were originally

270
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:55,040
 on separate agendas. So 101 West Hickory and here's the map again located right

271
00:25:55,040 --> 00:26:00,160
 there at the corner of Hickory and Locust right across from Wells Fargo

272
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:06,760
 Bank. So this is how it looked a couple of months ago it does not look like this

273
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,320
 right now it's got scaffolding all over it and they're busy making changes.

274
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:16,480
 They're also doing the facade on more fun comics so it won't match. I would

275
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,960
 tell you that they're going to I guess they're covering up the tilt wall

276
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:25,000
 building that's what we call it tilt wall aggregate stone that's on there at

277
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:30,800
 this point. It's actually kind of a it's a it's on the side is more that tilt

278
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,240
 wall the front's been plastered I think but they are going to use a brick

279
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,600
 veneer. They have looked at historic photos of this building from the 1940s

280
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:43,760
 and earlier and decided it needed some decoration on the top. There will be

281
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:51,700
 windows added on the side and this is kind of a side view and if this is the

282
00:26:51,700 --> 00:26:55,960
 top is the side view the bottom is the front view which kind of separates these

283
00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:03,360
 two storefronts a little bit gives them their own distinctive look. And just

284
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:08,800
 another elevation here this is the backside and what used to be known as

285
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:16,600
 the Abbey Underground down there to the bottom left. So their

286
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:23,480
 eligible expenses are $144,165 for facade and $15,000 for awnings which

287
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:29,020
 gives them an allowable expense of $159. Total cost of the project I'm sure is

288
00:27:29,020 --> 00:27:33,840
 more than this right now too because we've discovered this is like HDTV show

289
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,880
 once you get into it you find other things. So the original total cost of the

290
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,800
 project was estimated at $500,000. They're asking for $25,000. Alex Payne

291
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:48,000
 who is one of the partners in this is here today to answer any questions you

292
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,960
 might have. Valentine's Day downtown task force looked at this and unanimously

293
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:58,720
 recommended a $25,000 grant. Their average score was 27.57 which was

294
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:06,040
 rounded to 28 and that gave them a grant recommendation up to $25,000. So again

295
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:10,760
 we are seeking a recommendation to City Council to move forward with this and if

296
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,800
 you have any questions we can get Alex up to answer if we need. I have a

297
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,240
 question about the two separate buildings more fun comic because I saw

298
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,400
 that I was like what's happening I thought they were going out of business

299
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:26,720
 and then I so we're making them look the same is it I guess it's the same owner

300
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:31,920
 and just originally one of the elevations that was shown previously the

301
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:37,360
 last one was was the original I guess construction when it was redone back in

302
00:28:37,360 --> 00:28:41,640
 2007 but this was the old white furnitures building which was from my

303
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:46,240
 memory enough people refer to as Cravens and so it was built in the 70s one big

304
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:53,360
 tilt wall building it was one one storefront entry and in 2007 or six and

305
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,000
 seven I was actually part of a group that that bought it and renovated it and

306
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,560
 can it created what appears to be two storefronts here but if you really it's

307
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:07,920
 really just a facade that made it look like two storefronts so you know this

308
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:12,120
 again was an earlier project for us and we I'm not I never was real happy and

309
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,600
 thrilled with how the way it turned out that was kind of cheap looking the brick

310
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:20,260
 the fake brick veneer and so when we actually bought this back from Tim at

311
00:29:20,260 --> 00:29:24,680
 the Abbey Inn and hired an architect I said I wanted to make it actually look

312
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:30,520
 more historic historically accurate so what we're doing is is like there's

313
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,980
 other examples of buildings on other corners of the square like the caddy

314
00:29:34,980 --> 00:29:41,000
 cornered from us at where the tattoo place is for instance and I can't

315
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:46,360
 remember who's right next door I believe that's this yeah but I'm just I guess

316
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,880
 what I'm saying is it was an original building and it looks like one building

317
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,040
 but there's two separate storefront entries so that's kind of what we're

318
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,480
 doing in this case where it's gonna say every the same brick it'll have slightly

319
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:05,280
 a different and it's not pink so the brick that's on more fun is what you're

320
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:10,120
 saying will be on the whole just be moving just continuing the same

321
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:23,080
 architecture across it'll have a slightly different you know look at the top of

322
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:27,920
 the building but it'll be the same brick we're you know again their signage will

323
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:32,280
 go back up they're not going anywhere in fact what isn't represented here or part

324
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,040
 of the request is their interior modifications the tenant that signed the

325
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,680
 lease for the former Abbey is making quite a few interior renovations to the

326
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:44,040
 space I'm gonna reopen it's the lion and crown pub they've got two other three

327
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:52,180
 other locations in DFW and then again we expanded part of the back for for more

328
00:30:52,180 --> 00:30:55,120
 fun to give them more room in the back there are that's already done and they've

329
00:30:55,120 --> 00:31:01,200
 they've opened that portion of the space the we felt like it needed windows and

330
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:06,160
 cut you know cut windows in the side of the building that's done now adding you

331
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:11,880
 know there's read the old version was was kind of a fake a fake brick and then

332
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:17,680
 like EFIS throughout what we're going we're actually going over from here

333
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:22,440
 forward with an actual thin brick it is I mean it's real bricks that are just

334
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:28,440
 cut down real thin and so that's being applied to the existing surface kind of

335
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,200
 hard you can peek in there if you walk by but it's really good-looking it's

336
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:36,200
 gonna be more of a more of a maroon brownish color than than what's shown

337
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:41,280
 here in this in this scan we're actually adding some of the some of the features

338
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,840
 that you see there are are using that EFIS product but actually along the base

339
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:53,160
 here I was fearful because EFIS can get kicked or punched or hit and like you'll

340
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,640
 you'll see it you know you'll see the styrofoam and so we actually ended up

341
00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:02,560
 going and using an actual cast stone at the base of the building a lot of detail

342
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:07,820
 the architect we hired is that I think highly qualified in historic architecture

343
00:32:07,820 --> 00:32:12,680
 and I met him because he did the architecture at Parker Square and in park

344
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,720
 in Flower Mound and did the newest Midwestern State University campus

345
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:21,020
 there and if you haven't been by there again very good job of it like creating

346
00:32:21,020 --> 00:32:29,440
 new buildings that look historically accurate. So on the grant it's per

347
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:34,680
 building right so are we is the the 25 that's being asked for I guess more or

348
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:39,120
 less is going to be used in for two or which one does it apply to you it'll

349
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:43,320
 just apply to the one building it's one it is one building it's just an interior

350
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:48,000
 demising wall that separates we get this task force confused a lot to me it's

351
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:54,440
 it's one our number you know a tax ID number it has two two physical addresses

352
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,580
 just because it has two storefronts and that postal company gives it two

353
00:32:58,580 --> 00:33:05,880
 different addresses 101 and 103 Hickory but it's it's one building okay I'm just

354
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,680
 curious because there's a certain amount that each building is allowed to go up

355
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:17,000
 to and I didn't know if it was so I could have asked for 50 take it yeah but

356
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:26,000
 thank you for that clarification the other questions or comments when do we

357
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:33,080
 expect the line and crown to open against my good wishes they intend to

358
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,120
 open the basement level first and I think they're gonna try and do that

359
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:42,160
 within probably a week or two and enter from the back but we actually think we'll

360
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:46,000
 be out of the out of the scaffolding me down and everything be done by the end

361
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,680
 of the month so the upstairs probably won't open to me they they've got some

362
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,480
 more construction to do upstairs but yep the downstairs I walked through

363
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:59,000
 yesterday it's actually looking really good what they did inside just FYI is I

364
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:04,040
 always felt like with the last tenant you you might have known there was a

365
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,580
 downstairs but there was no good way to get there you either went down this

366
00:34:07,580 --> 00:34:11,520
 fire escape or you went outside to the alley you went in and it wasn't a very

367
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:16,920
 inviting entrance so they've actually taken and blown out the wall where that

368
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:21,080
 fire exit stair was and then proved that making it where you when you're upstairs

369
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,280
 you see downstairs and then you get downstairs you're they've opened it up

370
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:29,480
 and built out of space that had never been finished and now it's much more I

371
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,000
 guess inviting environment better lighting it doesn't feel like a dungeon

372
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,800
 down there anymore and so but that's that's still going to be a stage area

373
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:41,520
 it'll have like pool and darts and that kind of stuff like you might expect in a

374
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:47,280
 pub upstairs will still be mostly just a restaurant so are you guys reworking the

375
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:54,760
 back wall also painting it to kind of mimic the the color of the brick and tie

376
00:34:54,760 --> 00:35:02,920
 in and then here some remnants of the yeah there'll still be some remnants

377
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:07,520
 because I can do it here so that's the this is the current and so that that was

378
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:18,880
 the the tilt wall panels and then so here we're adding adding some some some

379
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:24,880
 brick and an ethos bands to just kind of break it up and give it some character

380
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,760
 along the top and then painting some of the existing panels not adding windows

381
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,880
 so that's actually in the kitchen but kind of giving us so much where a window

382
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:40,160
 might be but and then the back facing facing walnut I guess is is just going to

383
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:44,520
 be painted and then replacing and fixing awnings the awning up front was

384
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:49,880
 completely rotted out so replacing the metal panel putting new roofing material

385
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:57,340
 on it we have already replaced the roof but yeah it's exterior exterior related

386
00:35:57,340 --> 00:36:01,400
 cost we are pushing that five hundred thousand dollar number and then interior

387
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,280
 I don't know exactly what the tenants spending on their portion but we have

388
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:13,560
 spent quite a bit more on that expanding the comic book store yes ma'am do you

389
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:23,680
 know is this a contributing building any other comments or questions anybody you

390
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:34,760
 like to make a motion party Tony Clark I'll make a motion to approve we have a

391
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:43,920

 opposed all right thank you good questions and really good projects we

393
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:56,680
 are also fortunate enough today to have some of our planning and zoning staff

394
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:03,240
 here today to give us a report item number 19 - 12 and they're here to talk

395
00:37:03,240 --> 00:37:10,080

397
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:36,440
 two seconds here to pull up our PowerPoint presentation yes ma'am

398
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:41,160
 I just thought I would let the board know that in the past I've spoken and as

399
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:45,120
 representative of the downtown task force as chair of that for the past year

400
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:49,760
 and a half or so of which Alex is vice chair however due to some additional

401
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:57,400
 community commitments I have resigned and they are voting a new chairperson in

402
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:03,960
 the next meeting just wanted to let you know we're gonna I'm gonna make a

403
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:08,920
 request for our next economic development board meeting that we discussed the

404
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:13,800
 downtown task force and the chair and how all that's gonna work going forward

405
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:21,240
 so that may be I think Alex connect does and you did not know that so that's a

406
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:27,080
 future agenda agenda item but how it's gonna work so they meet is it next week

407
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,080
 yeah and I'm out of town next week I won't be there but first thing on their

408
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:38,680
 agenda is electing a new chairperson so there'll be someone at the home all right

409
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,960
 good morning this is a little different I've never seen this set up but it's a

410
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,720
 little more daunting that you all are sitting at the table but my name is Ron

411
00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:51,880
 Mingida I'm with development services a principal planner they're working on our

412
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:56,840
 update to the Denton development code and draft zoning map which I hope you've

413
00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:02,080
 heard about and we appreciate the opportunity to talk to you all we been

414
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,760
 working on this for some time I know I've seen some of your faces in other

415
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:11,600
 meetings and in other events so hopefully these what you're gonna see

416
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:16,480
 today is not new but for those that I have not been able to speak with again

417
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,040
 appreciate the opportunity and please let me know if you have any questions so

418
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:24,280
 today is really just a summary of what we're doing we're gonna go over the

419
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:30,120
 schedule and we're pretty close to the to the end zone here we've got another

420
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:34,440
 couple weeks till we get to City Council we're gonna talk a little bit about some

421
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,680
 highlights of what's being proposed as far as the update to the development

422
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,480
 code and what our next steps are and then we can have a question and answer

423
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:49,120
 session after that so as far as the process we started this back in summer

424
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:55,900
 of 2017 where there were several modules modules were broken into different

425
00:39:55,900 --> 00:40:01,080
 categories module one was the districts and uses the zoning districts and uses

426
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:06,160
 module two was your administration and your procedure chapter and then three

427
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:12,080
 were your development standards we went through that through spring of 2018 and

428
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:18,400
 then in spring I'm sorry winter of 2019 we consolidated that and presented a

429
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:23,960
 revised draft of the consolidated draft and through all this out throughout this

430
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:29,040
 process there was a number of public meetings on meeting with neighborhood

431
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:34,360
 groups development community we met at the chamber a number of time with the

432
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:43,280
 DCDA group going over our proposed code so what's the path to adoption as I said

433
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,800
 earlier we we've been working on this for some time really with the

434
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:56,480
 consolidated draft here February of 2018 I'm sorry 2019 working through the

435
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:02,800
 couple of iterations we've held a number of work sessions with the Planning

436
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:09,000
 Zoning Commission and City Council taking each chapter by chapter our hope

437
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:15,440
 is to get to the April 10th which is today the Planning Zoning Commission and

438
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,360
 making a presentation to them and getting their consideration or

439
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,440
 recommendation that they will then forward to that we will forward to City

440
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:29,600
 Council on April 23rd April 23rd is a couple weeks away from now and that is

441
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:35,520
 when the city is going to be considering both the draft zoning code and the draft

442
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:41,680
 zoning map so again I wanted to highlight that public outreach is still

443
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:46,360
 available although we're at the April 10th and close to the April 23rd we

444
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:51,000
 still welcome comments we still welcome input from the public we still welcome

445
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:56,080
 comments from this board if you have not had the opportunity to review the draft

446
00:41:56,080 --> 00:42:04,680
 it is online in the own designated web page it's den code 2030 calm in there

447
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:09,000
 you'll see the draft code and as well as the draft zoning map the draft zoning

448
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,800
 map is an interactive map where you can click on your parcel you can search your

449
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:17,600
 parcel your property or properties type in your property address it'll zoom

450
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:22,240
 right into your parcel you click on the parcel it'll have your existing zoning

451
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:28,960
 what's being proposed as well as links to what is proposed as far as new uses

452
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,720
 new standards and all of the other stuff that's that's part of the development

453
00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:40,200
 code so the project goal is really to implement the den plan 2030 I think most

454
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:44,800
 of you have been involved or have heard of the den plan 2030 one of the action

455
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:50,760
 items from that plan was to update our development code and as it relates to

456
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:54,720
 the development code also revisit our zoning map and so that's what we are

457
00:42:54,720 --> 00:42:58,760
 currently doing and again I'm not gonna read this list here but really is just

458
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:04,760
 to implement our den plan 2030 so what that looks like is that we have a den

459
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:10,100
 plan 2030 with a future lane use map and it's my understanding that we are

460
00:43:10,100 --> 00:43:14,760
 scheduling another item for this board at a later time to talk about the future

461
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:20,760
 lane use map but that map as well as the entire develop I'm sorry the den plan

462
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:26,800
 2030 is informing what we're proposing with the development code update and the

463
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,040
 zoning map so you see the arrow pointing in that direction and that's

464
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:39,160
 where we're getting our information the den plan 2030 has a number of chapters

465
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:43,240
 and again just kind of restating some of the things that I've already stated that

466
00:43:43,240 --> 00:43:47,960
 these chapters are what we are looking at when we're looking at the development

467
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:54,280
 code from lane use to parks to mobility to housing all of which inform how we

468
00:43:54,280 --> 00:44:00,840
 craft and draft this code update so economic development is a big part of

469
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:05,240
 that as well the future lane use map informs you know where economic

470
00:44:05,240 --> 00:44:09,720
 development is suitable for future development and again in an upcoming

471
00:44:09,720 --> 00:44:14,800
 board meeting we will talk about that one in particular is the business

472
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:19,240
 innovation area and the industrial center that is west of town and that's

473
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:24,680
 an important area and that's identified not only in the plan but also in the

474
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:34,160
 future lane use map as a city we want to grow compactly meaning that we want to

475
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:39,400
 make sure that we grow within our means grow with purpose grow our assets so

476
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:44,720
 what we have today we want to make sure we use them grow resourcefully grow with

477
00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:49,040
 character so any areas such as the downtown and such as any other areas that

478
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:53,760
 have character the areas around the universities the neighborhoods all of

479
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:58,080
 which have character we want to make sure that we can continue that as well

480
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:03,480
 as preserve and in encourage more of those types of developments and then grow

481
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:09,840
 with balance the future land use map is our tool we see residential in the areas

482
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,400
 we see commercial in the areas we see industrial and we see business in other

483
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:17,680
 so we want to make sure we we have a city that has balance and not just one

484
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:25,080
 particular land use so how have we taken that and improve our development code

485
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:29,640
 update so one of the things that we're working on and have been working on is

486
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:34,920
 making it more user-friendly using more charts using more graphics and making it

487
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:40,160
 just easier to understand and again I encourage you to look at your if you

488
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:44,080
 have an opportunity to go online look at the draft code you'll see a lot of what

489
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:50,200
 is shown here it's more concise more clear and then that's the goal we want

490
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:54,520
 to make sure that as anyone that comes in and wants to develop in the city they

491
00:45:54,520 --> 00:46:01,240
 understand the code and they can go through it without confusion we

492
00:46:01,240 --> 00:46:04,840
 understand that there's different sorry different development standards

493
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,720
 throughout the city we've got the the square area and I think you you guys

494
00:46:08,720 --> 00:46:12,720
 heard a little bit about what's going on with the previous item we also have

495
00:46:12,720 --> 00:46:18,600
 corridors the loop and brinker corridor areas that we we want to develop

496
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:23,880
 standards for and i-35 specifically but we also have those character areas the

497
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:28,880
 the hickory and Welch and historic districts and other character areas we

498
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:33,840
 want also develop design stands for and also the industrial area the industrial

499
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,840
 park by the airport those are different as well so they should be treated

500
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:41,280
 differently so we've got development standards that are tailored for those

501
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:48,000
 particular areas again I want to just emphasize that we're trying to make it

502
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:51,840
 more user-friendly we've got additional charts that make it easier to follow

503
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:57,680
 this in particular this chart will be here list all of the different uses I'm

504
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:03,720
 sorry applications it identifies what's required who makes the decision is it P&Z

505
00:47:03,720 --> 00:47:08,220
 is it City Council is it the zoning Board of Adjustment so again if anybody

506
00:47:08,220 --> 00:47:15,080
 wants to apply for an application they understand who reviews it who makes the

507
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:20,840
 decision and what the process is so really really helpful and again try to

508
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:26,520
 make this document a more user-friendly plan document okay I'm going to run

509
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:32,600
 through these really quickly these are the key changes to the sub chapters and

510
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:36,520
 I won't spend too much time on it but I just really want to share with you some

511
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:43,220
 of the key changes chapter one again is our general standards just discusses our

512
00:47:43,220 --> 00:47:47,200
 nonconformities it talks about how we transition from the old code to the new

513
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:52,440
 code talks about how it's organized in some of the enforcements that are part

514
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:58,840
 of the process chapter two I already talked a little bit about the chart it

515
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:04,960
 has procedures that speak to common procedures that every application has to

516
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:10,200
 follow but there's also specific procedures that are also applied to

517
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:15,760
 specific application there is a section in this sub chapter that talks about

518
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:22,400
 citizen participation I think that's a City Council initiative or policy that

519
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,800
 we want to make sure that we have citizen participate in the process so

520
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:31,000
 we've added this process to ensure that anybody that's wanting to know more and

521
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:35,760
 want to be involved in provide input they are able to so again try to make

522
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:43,240
 this as user-friendly as possible PDs how many of y'all have heard of PDs

523
00:48:43,240 --> 00:48:50,200
 before I've been involved in PDs so you know in 2002 they were no longer allowed

524
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:56,920
 we're bringing you back so with a little bit more criteria so it's not just apply

525
00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:00,240
 for a PD for whatever you want so there's going to be a criteria when you

526
00:49:00,240 --> 00:49:04,920
 are able to and that's spelled out in the code so PDs for those that don't

527
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:09,560
 know is an ability for a property owner or developer to submit an application

528
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:15,960
 apply for a PD and deviate from the code but at the same time providing more

529
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:22,240
 enhancement so it's a give-and-take ropes and ranches a PD some of the

530
00:49:22,240 --> 00:49:26,840
 residential developments on the southeast portion of the city are PDs so

531
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:30,800
 those those are what you are looking at as far as peace and those are coming

532
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:37,280
 back as part of this PD if City Council approves this on April 23rd we're also

533
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:41,460
 building in more flexibility and relief procedures to again provide the

534
00:49:41,460 --> 00:49:46,040
 development community and business owners the opportunity to develop in a

535
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:52,360
 more flexible but at the same time with standards that come with it so we're not

536
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:56,440
 just saying you can develop but there's going to be some flexibility in the form

537
00:49:56,440 --> 00:50:02,360
 of allowing them to not necessarily do this but you can do this so giving them

538
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:07,840
 options is what we're saying okay zoning district this is probably one of the

539
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:15,720
 biggest chapters what we did here we currently have 23 or 24 zoning districts

540
00:50:15,720 --> 00:50:23,360
 if you all can imagine that your dr1 dr2 our CR 1 all these zoning districts we

541
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:28,640
 are combining those down to 14 this chart and you I apologize for the size

542
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,280
 of this but you should have a copy of this in your handout or your

543
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:38,720
 presentation this one is a little bit updated but not not too much the middle

544
00:50:38,720 --> 00:50:45,800
 column is the existing zoning districts the farther right is the proposed zoning

545
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:51,420
 district and you see that for the majority the single-family zoning

546
00:50:51,420 --> 00:50:56,400
 districts or residential zoning districts that is are going to transition from in

547
00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:02,280
 our to an R so for example in our one is going to go to our one not a

548
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:06,420
 significant change the design standards are not going to be significantly

549
00:51:06,420 --> 00:51:11,160
 different the council committee that's helping with this process and Healy is

550
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:17,200
 part of that committee basically said keep it as low impactful to the

551
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:23,480
 residential districts as possible so the nr2 is going to be r2 the nr3 is going

552
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:28,920
 to be our three but that doesn't apply to all of the zoners we we have other

553
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:33,020
 zoning districts that we're going to consolidate and the ones that you see

554
00:51:33,020 --> 00:51:36,240
 there that are consolidated are the ones that have multiple zone districts that

555
00:51:36,240 --> 00:51:43,000
 are going into a single zoning district for example the dr1 dr2 our CR 1 in our

556
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:48,880
 CR 2 are now going to be zoned as far as this chart of this chart on our seven so

557
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:54,280
 if if a person a property owner owns a dr1 their zoning district is going to be

558
00:51:54,280 --> 00:52:03,240
 an r7 and but in similar with the other ones DCN and DCG will go to an MD RC our

559
00:52:03,240 --> 00:52:10,480
 and an RC our D I'm sorry our CCD will go to an MR and so on and so forth the

560
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:18,040
 master plan communities the existing 15 or so PDs will transition to PDs they'll

561
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:24,600
 just be called PDs those zoning cases that were approved by City Council that

562
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:31,640
 have conditions that were approved with them will be called PDs because they're

563
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:34,960
 treated differently because they're not going to be transitioned to a straight

564
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,560
 zoning because they've got those conditions therefore we're calling them

565
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:44,400
 PDs and they'll be identified on a map as PDs and when someone clicks on it or

566
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:48,120
 refers to it there'll be an ordinance number so that they can refer to the

567
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:53,120
 conditions that are signed to that particular property so does anybody have

568
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:56,240
 any questions I know I've been rambling here for a bit I want to make sure I

569
00:52:56,240 --> 00:53:04,360
 answer anybody's questions I'm saving them up saving all of our hey I've got

570
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:11,480
 Jim over here is gonna help me with those again graphics and charts I'm just

571
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:17,280
 gonna skip through this one overlay districts these these overlay districts

572
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:21,400
 are your fry Street overlay districts these are the oak Hickory historic

573
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:26,600
 district your West Oak historic district nothing is going to change to those the

574
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:33,560
 only point that I want to make here is that the razor ranch overlay district is

575
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:39,520
 going to be carried forward as an appendix to the development code so it's

576
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,880
 not going to go away it's just going to be an appendix to development code it's

577
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:48,400
 just so large in in in number of pages so we're can we're just going to move it

578
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:53,120
 from where it should have been or it's proposed to be in four as an appendix

579
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:57,200
 but nothing's going to change to that overlay district it's going to remain

580
00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:00,640
 the same as well as the other overlay districts we're just we're just putting

581
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:08,080
 it in a new subchapter use regulations this relates to the zoning map what that

582
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:15,520
 zoning is allowed is based on this use chapter this use regulation subchapter

583
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:23,880
 so when you flip over to the subchapter you have this table and as you can see

584
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:29,760
 this is just one of I want to say six or seven pages starting with residential

585
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:36,640
 it goes down to commercial it goes down to industrial and in other uses you can

586
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:42,280
 see that looking at the column here single family and the P stands for

587
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:48,080
 permitted it's permitted in all of the residential zoning district is also

588
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:52,200
 permitted in the MN which is the mixed-use neighborhood district but you

589
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:57,240
 can see that if it does not have a P or an S it's not permitted in the other

590
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:02,280
 zoning district if you look down here the next one down town homes it's

591
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:08,760
 permitted in the R3 R4 with a specific use permit that's what the S stands for

592
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:14,320
 if there is a plus that means that you have to refer to a use specific standard

593
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:20,480
 that's identified here and listed as such so this use table is similar to what we

594
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:26,440
 have today we're updating it we're adding new uses we're deleting some that

595
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:32,080
 are not you know used as much but really it's just again clear up and as you all

596
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:36,240
 know if a developer comes in and they wanted to say they want to do this use

597
00:55:36,240 --> 00:55:40,480
 and we don't have it well we can't really approve it unless the director

598
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:45,600
 has the ability to make it consistent with another use but if it doesn't we're

599
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:50,240
 we have to do code amendment so what we're doing is we're adding those uses

600
00:55:50,240 --> 00:55:54,120
 that we've heard over the years so we're making sure that we address those and

601
00:55:54,120 --> 00:56:02,520
 some of those are these here tiny home development I know that's something

602
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:07,520
 that we've heard a lot about we're adding that let's see here bourbon farm

603
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:12,720
 community garden you know to clarify we want to make sure we have a use

604
00:56:12,720 --> 00:56:17,940
 identified in the table to make sure we we know where they belong in what use

605
00:56:17,940 --> 00:56:22,600
 specific standards would be allowed short-term rental is another one that's

606
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:28,760
 something new so we've added that use in the chapter I think outdoor storage is

607
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:35,160
 another one that we've added that's significant so again this is just a

608
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:41,240
 short list of the ones that we've added or a modified there's a laundry of other

609
00:56:41,240 --> 00:56:44,880
 lists of uses that's part of that subchapter so I encourage you to look at

610
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:50,240
 that and let us know what you guys think development standards this is where all

611
00:56:50,240 --> 00:56:54,080
 the development standards are grouped into won't spend a whole lot of time on

612
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:58,440
 this essentially we provided more flexibility in when I say flexibility

613
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:06,640
 more options for the community to to get to where they want to be hopefully it

614
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:13,000
 goes to where they're able to develop at the same time meeting the goals of the

615
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:21,520
 community and the plan 2030 the council recently approved a landscaping in tree

616
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:26,840
 or conservation ordinance recently and that is being folded in to this draft

617
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:32,240
 code we've also added some standards more standards that is and more options

618
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:37,320
 for walls and fences and then we also last year the City Council approved some

619
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:41,620
 parking minimums and maximums that are being reflected into this development

620
00:57:41,620 --> 00:57:47,640
 code update too so sub chapter 7 deals with subdivisions won't bore you about

621
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,600
 that it's more about platting subdivisions

622
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:56,760
 criterias and development standards one in particular part of that is the option

623
00:57:56,760 --> 00:58:02,560
 for cluster development and this map helps illustrate what that means the goal

624
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:07,840
 here is to protect as much open space and environmental areas as possible so

625
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:13,920
 we are giving the option where if you preserve this area here I believe it's

626
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:20,920
 30% you're given the option to lower or lessen your lot size in order to

627
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:26,760
 accomplish that conservation or preservation and develop more of a

628
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:31,160
 subdivision so much of what you see here versus one that's here where they

629
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:37,240
 basically impacted the open space area that again the goal is to protect so

630
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:41,200
 this is just an option it's not a requirement if someone wants to develop

631
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:46,760
 with a cluster development they can and again that's something that this plan or

632
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:52,720
 this code will have available chapter 8 which is the last chapter and that is

633
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:57,240
 the definition section I think is one of the most important chapters in my

634
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:02,680
 opinion as well in that in order to make decisions we have to know what they mean

635
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:08,460
 what what each term means and so we're making sure that every use that you have

636
00:59:08,460 --> 00:59:12,680
 identified or we've identified there's a definition so we know what we're talking

637
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:18,040
 about every term that we refer to that may not be clear we want to make sure we

638
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:23,200
 define and provide a definition for so that's included in this chapter sub

639
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:29,440
 chapter a couple more slides here now I'm done and getting ready for all those

640
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:35,560
 questions the opportunity for input is still open we're gonna receive input

641
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:41,720
 until April 23rd and probably even past that so there is there is there's plans

642
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:47,160
 on approving or considering the development code as one item and then

643
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:51,880
 the zoning map as a different item but the point is we're still welcoming input

644
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:59,720
 from the public so what happens here after adoption we'll have a period we'll

645
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:04,680
 have an adoption date hopefully April 23rd and we'll have an effective date

646
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:11,400
 and word saying is October 1st so between April 23rd and October 1st the

647
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:18,120
 development community has an opportunity to use the old code or use the old the

648
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:24,280
 new code whatever that is but have to stick to one or the other it also gives

649
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:28,600
 us an opportunity to visit and see if there's any changes that we may have

650
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:34,720
 missed or any proposals that was approved that we may have to rein back a

651
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:39,320
 little so this gives us the opportunity to do that this document is a living

652
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:44,400
 document it's to be updated you know again I don't know how many of you all

653
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:50,440
 have been part of the 2002 update back in 2002 when when they did this back then

654
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:54,760
 but I understand that there were a lot of changes since you know then so I

655
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:58,440
 anticipate that hopefully not as many but we hope that we have addressed as

656
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:02,320
 much as we can with this version and we know that there's going to be additional

657
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:08,680
 updates or amendments coming forward with that that concludes my presentation

658
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:13,720
 I'll be happy to any answer any questions and our consultants here that

659
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:17,520
 have been working on this document are also present so if I can't answer that

660
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:24,640
 hopefully they can any questions all right anybody no questions about letters

661
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,080
 so

662
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:39,840
 any change in the parking per bedroom in this new development code so they the

663
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:46,920
 parking standards was was approved back in May of 2018 and so so it was carrying

664
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:52,600
 that forward so this has not changed anything I can tell you that is with

665
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:58,800
 that adoption and I can make any multifamily development has to provide a

666
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:04,120
 space for each bedroom over two unit over two bedrooms or more so if you're

667
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:11,360
 one-bedroom unit it's 1.25 bedroom spaces if you're a two-bedroom or more

668
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:16,440
 you have to provide a parking space for each bedroom in addition if you've got

669
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:22,960
 ten units or more you have to provide a visitor parking of ten percent of the

670
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:28,740
 total required parking so we're trying to address parking by making sure that

671
01:02:28,740 --> 01:02:33,760
 these multifamily developments that have more than ten units provide not only

672
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:39,280
 parking for each bedroom if they're two bed two units two bedrooms per unit or

673
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:44,380
 more and for visitor parking that does that help or I don't know where you're

674
01:02:44,380 --> 01:02:52,320
 going with that one if that was the question you had great thank you Rana

675
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:58,920
 you mentioned the term grow compactly and sometimes which is a great idea but

676
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:03,600
 sometimes the code and the requirements don't quite match up with planting

677
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:09,800
 trees and fire codes and the more parking spaces so like sometimes you want

678
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:14,200
 to be downtown but then you supposed to plant ten trees on a lot when a lot of

679
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:18,080
 urban areas you don't have that kind of thing so was that addressed right and I

680
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:21,480
 think that slide that showed the Taylor development standards you know for

681
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:27,640
 downtown for corridors and for periphery I think we we have addressed that in

682
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:32,160
 making sure that there are options so the options that we're talking about if

683
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:35,360
 you're in the downtown and you're required to provide this much of say

684
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:38,560
 screening or landscaping well there are other options that you can do to meet

685
01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:43,160
 that requirement tailored to your site

686
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:58,120
 well and I was trash fire truck access all those kind of things that you don't

687
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:01,360
 have room because the lots are smaller and you're trying to build up and all

688
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:06,280
 that stuff so right and then just a point again try to help make this stock

689
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:10,840
 in a little bit more concise a lot of those design standards for solid waste

690
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:19,440
 and for fire are covered either in a fire code or a criteria manual so it's

691
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:23,640
 if it's in here and it belongs in their criteria manual it was it was removed

692
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:27,840
 and we've been placed into a criteria manual so to address your question yes

693
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:30,720
 there there are some standards that I know our solid waste folks and our

694
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:34,080
 engineering department our fire department have already updated to

695
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:40,000
 reflect those concerns about access by widening the street requiring wider

696
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:46,080
 streets so yes that's been done citizen participate more citizen

697
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:49,520
 participation which always sounds good except if I'm trying to do something my

698
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:52,400
 property and you're inviting a lot of more people to tell me what to do on my

699
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:58,160
 property would you expand sure we mean by that we we just want to make sure

700
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:03,120
 people are aware of what's being proposed it would it would only be and

701
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:10,000
 it's not a requirement it is a encouragement recommendation is that

702
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:16,080
 different like I notice it's on my SUP process and preliminary plot process you

703
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:21,120
 have to have citizen input different than having a neighborhood meeting that

704
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:24,680
 essentially that's what it is it's just another name for neighborhood meeting we

705
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:29,240
 call it citizen participation and it should just be for any application that

706
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:33,640
 requires a public hearing or a significant application such as a zoning

707
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:39,520
 case or a specific use a couple of the new terms or uses you have in there's

708
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:44,400
 short-term rental yes and accessory dwelling so short terms I like somebody

709
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:50,880
 trying to do Airbnb and Airbnb yes and how do you are we trying to I don't know

710
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:57,000
 how you would know what somebody's using one or house for and they're trying to

711
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:00,400
 keep people from doing that no we're trying to do is trying to make sure we

712
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:05,560
 understand where they are and we're gonna require them to register the

713
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:12,640
 short-term rentals so and so that's that's where units are being leased a

714
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:17,800
 full unit those are what we're considered for less than 30 days that's

715
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:21,340
 the definition again going back to the definition it's important to know what

716
01:06:21,340 --> 01:06:26,200
 these are and so the definition has a clear definition for it so less than 30

717
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:33,960
 days and a lease of a unit you know for for whatever time period and what the

718
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:37,920
 goal is is we're trying to make sure we understand and where they are and

719
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:43,840
 register them as well as apply some standards now noise is going to be

720
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:48,200
 covered under the noise standards other you know code related stuff are going to

721
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:52,400
 be covered in other ordinances we're just trying to put a place in a use in

722
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:56,120
 their development code so we have a way of understanding where they are and how

723
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:58,680
 they're treated

724
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:06,080
 I mean we'll be able to tax them for renting the room and that that's the

725
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:13,000
 plan yes sir that can wait a moment yeah yeah we're missing a lot of taxes from

726
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:16,280
 one I understand because we don't do that currently

727
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:21,200
 it's not that wouldn't apply to someone just renting a room it's a unit it's it

728
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:28,140
 would be a right that's the difference right so when you're renting out the

729
01:07:28,140 --> 01:07:32,000
 full unit a full house of the entire house that's that would be concerned you

730
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:36,120
 know like an ARB but if you're say renting and if it's a longer than 30

731
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:39,280
 days it's it's a different category again going back to the definitions we

732
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:45,040
 want to make sure that they meet that definition I don't know that's one of

733
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:48,800
 the things that wasn't in the 2002 code you had to deal with correct and so

734
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:57,240
 we're treating that as something that we need to anybody else any questions on

735
01:07:57,240 --> 01:08:00,880
 those letters I thought where's a talking about the letters that were mailed out

736
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:19,400
 yes sir everybody get one okay do you have you've been noticed so this

737
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:23,880
 definitely seems much more user-friendly it sounds like the way that you've

738
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:29,120
 reached out to the Development Alliance and other groups to get input I've just

739
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:34,400
 I'm really impressed with the comprehensive study and implementation so

740
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:44,200
 appreciate that appreciate that thanks wrong thank you all right our next item

741
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:47,840
 is any concluding items before we go into a closed meeting and I would like

742
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:55,080
 to add for discussion an agenda item at our next scheduled meeting to discuss

743
01:08:55,080 --> 01:09:02,560
 our downtown economic development task force that's that's a subcommittee so to

744
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:10,280
 speak or task force of this board as Jill mentioned earlier she was needed to

745
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:16,840
 resign from that position we've always had somebody that's chaired that

746
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:22,080
 committee from this board or co-chaired that that's not anything that's written

747
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:30,020
 down and so given that we're winding down the downtown grant process from that

748
01:09:30,020 --> 01:09:34,200
 board I think it would just be a good and given the vacancy it would be a good

749
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:42,040
 time for us to discuss the purpose a little concerned that the people that

750
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:45,520
 are have been been involved in that stay involved in the city process well that's

751
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:49,200
 through this through this board or some other board or what's going on there I

752
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:54,720
 just think it'd be good time to discuss what what we expect as a board or city

753
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:59,400
 to keep those folks involved and how they're going to move forward so if we

754
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:08,080
 could do that please does anybody have anything else they want to visit about

755
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:17,520
 we had preliminaries preliminarily scheduled a joint City Council EDP board

756
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:25,160
 meeting for June 3rd we're going to postpone that until we have new staff

757
01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:30,800
 hired and in place think that'd be a probably a wise thing to do so stay

758
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:38,680
 tuned on that anybody else have anything that we need to visit about in line film

759
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:44,200
 festivals started yesterday so that's bringing a lot of folks in all right we

760
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:54,000
 need to go into a closed meeting at 12 14 p.m. to discuss EDP 19 - 18

761
01:10:54,000 --> 01:11:00,080
 receiver report whole discussion and offer a financial incentive to Sally

762
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:03,000
 Beauty company
