1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,320
 Welcome to the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting for April 24, 2024.

2
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,160
 It is our work session.

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,180
 I'll commence our meeting to order at 5 p.m.

4
00:00:14,180 --> 00:00:18,800
 Please let the record show that Commissioner Cole, Commissioner Thagard, and Chair Ellis

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,000
 are all absent at this time.

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,920
 With the court present, we will begin with our first point of item on the work session,

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,920
 clarification of agenda items.

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,360
 We will kick off with a review of our meeting minutes.

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,280
 Any questions on meeting minutes at this time?

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,000
 Okay.

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,960
 Seeing none, we'll move on to items for individual consideration, FP24-0010, and that's Julie.

12
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,360
 Come on up and take us away here.

13
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:56,960
 This is a final plat for Mayhill Multifamily.

14
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,600
 For most of y'all, this is a project that you've seen several times.

15
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,480
 It's for a multifamily development on Mayhill.

16
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,960
 They do have some items that they do need to address before we can recommend approval

17
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:10,520
 of this final plat, so we are recommending denial.

18
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:16,480
 However, we have no objection to the requested first extension to May 15, and I'll be happy

19
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,040
 to answer any questions.

20
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,040
 Great.

21
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,360
 Any questions for Julie?

22
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,600
 Thank you.

23
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:22,600
 Okay.

24
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,600
 Thank you, Julie.

25
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:31,800
 Next, we have a PP24-002A, that's being presented by Cameron.

26
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,680
 Good evening, Commission.

27
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,000
 Cameron Robertson, Principal Planner.

28
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,440
 This is a preliminary plot for the Hunter Ranch Amenity Center, phase one.

29
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:46,520
 Staff is recommending approval of the preliminary plot as it does apply with our established

30
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:47,520
 criteria.

31
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,560
 I'll stand for any questions.

32
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,560
 Don't see any questions.

33
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,440
 Thanks, Cameron.

34
00:01:54,440 --> 00:02:01,520
 Next is item C, FP24-0011, presented by Angie Manglaris.

35
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,980
 Good evening.

36
00:02:03,980 --> 00:02:06,460
 Angie Manglaris, Development Review Manager.

37
00:02:06,460 --> 00:02:09,760
 This is a final plat for Stella Hills, phase one.

38
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:15,560
 It is located on East McKinney Street at the intersection of Laney Circle and East McKinney.

39
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:21,440
 This is 177 single-family lots on approximately 48 acres.

40
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,920
 At this time, the final plot does not comply with our criteria for approval.

41
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:31,000
 However, staff has no objection to the requested extension, which could be granted to a date

42
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,000
 certain of May 15th.

43
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,160
 Happy to answer any questions you may have.

44
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,320
 Is this the first extension?

45
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,000
 Yes, this is the first extension.

46
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,000
 Any other questions?

47
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,000
 Okay.

48
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,000
 Thank you very much.

49
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,000
 All right.

50
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,000
 Moving on to item 3D, FP24-0006D.

51
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:51,920
 Angie, that is also yours.

52
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:52,920
 Yes.

53
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:54,720
 Angie Manglaris, Development Review Manager.

54
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,600
 This is a final plat for JPI Multifamily.

55
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:05,120
 It is a 31-acre site located just west of Bonnie Bray and south of Bronco Way.

56
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,280
 At this time, the final plat does not meet all of our criteria for approval, and staff

57
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:10,560
 is recommending denial.

58
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,560
 However, staff has no objection to the requested extension, which could be granted to a date

59
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,360
 certain of May 15th.

60
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,680
 This would be their fourth extension request.

61
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,440
 Happy to answer any questions you may have.

62
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:28,240
 Any questions?

63
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,140
 How close are we getting?

64
00:03:30,140 --> 00:03:35,800
 They have a few lingering comments on their CEPs, and that is the remaining item to be

65
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:36,800
 addressed.

66
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,920
 There are a few engineering comments that just need to be resolved, and they're going

67
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,320
 back and forth with our third-party engineering reviewers to get that resolved.

68
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:45,320
 We are close.

69
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:46,760
 It's just taking a little bit of time.

70
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,320
 You think this would be the last extension?

71
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:50,320
 This would be the...

72
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:57,040
 It's hard to say, because I'm not an engineer, and I'm not fully versed in everything that

73
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,720
 needs to be done to address those comments.

74
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,680
 They are extremely close.

75
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,760
 I would expect that it could be done by May 15th.

76
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:12,520
 The comments that are there, it's not so material that it's making an issue.

77
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,400
 They're on the verge of possibly not even being able to move forward with the requirements.

78
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,600
 Yeah, it's not anything necessarily related to making the site work or having serious

79
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,840
 concerns with how it's laid out.

80
00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:25,960
 It's more of just there are some standard details I believe that they need to address

81
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,360
 to meet all of our requirements.

82
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,520
 They're actively communicating with a third-party engineering firm?

83
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,200
 Yes, they've been working back and forth regularly, yes.

84
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,200
 Got you.

85
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,680
 Any other questions, comments?

86
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:37,680
 Okay.

87
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:38,680
 Thank you, Angie.

88
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:46,680
 Next is item 3E, FP24-0009A, and that's Mia.

89
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:53,760
 Good evening, Chair, Acting Chair, members of the commission.

90
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:54,880
 Mia Hines, Senior Planner.

91
00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:00,440
 This item is a final plan for Hickory Grove phase two, which is just under 60 acres located

92
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:06,800
 north of West University Drive and east of Thomas J. Egan in the city's ETJ.

93
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:13,040
 As of the publication of our backup for this meeting, that final plan was not ready for

94
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,040
 approval.

95
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,320
 Since then, staff has worked with the applicants to get that to a point of approval.

96
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:23,040
 We are now recommending approval of the updated final plan version that was sent out to you

97
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,440
 all yesterday.

98
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,440
 With that, I'll take any questions or comments you have.

99
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:30,440
 Okay.

100
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,440
 That's good.

101
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:32,440
 Thank you, Mia.

102
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:39,840
 And then last Friday, I'm going to have an individual consideration, 3F, V24-0001, Bryce.

103
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:41,280
 How's it going, Commission?

104
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:42,280
 Take it away.

105
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:50,760
 Bryce VanArsdale, Assistant Planner.

106
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:57,440
 This is V24-0001, so in summary, this is a request to increase the allowable length of

107
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,480
 a flag drive from 300 to 600 feet.

108
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,080
 This property is located on the west side of Hilltop Road, just north of East Hickory

109
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,080
 Hill Road.

110
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:10,280
 And I also included the portion of the DDC below that this is referencing.

111
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:11,840
 Staff is recommending approval of this.

112
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:14,520
 I do want to note they don't have a plat application yet.

113
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,360
 They wanted to go ahead and work through the variance process before working through that

114
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,360
 process.

115
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,360
 I'm here for any questions.

116
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,360
 Okay.

117
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:22,360
 Got any questions?

118
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,360
 All right.

119
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,360
 Thank you, Bryce.

120
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,360
 You want to hang out up there?

121
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:34,360
 Yes, move on to item four, public hearings, start with 4A, Z24-0003, and Bryce will take

122
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:35,360
 us through this.

123
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,360
 Good evening, Commission.

124
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:37,360
 Bryce VanArsdale, Assistant Planner.

125
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,360
 This is Z24-0003.

126
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:46,360
 This is a request to rezone a 1.52 acre property from residential, or from, excuse me, suburban

127
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,120
 corridor to residential six.

128
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,480
 The intent is to match the adjacent properties to the north and the east, which are owned

129
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,840
 by the same property owner.

130
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:56,720
 Currently is undeveloped pastureland.

131
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:02,000
 In addition, the future land use map shows this area to be a low residential and community

132
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,620
 mixed use area.

133
00:07:03,620 --> 00:07:04,620
 Staff is recommending approval.

134
00:07:04,620 --> 00:07:08,720
 I'm here for any questions.

135
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:09,720
 Any questions?

136
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,840
 I have a couple here, Bryce.

137
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:14,840
 Absolutely.

138
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,240
 To the west, that SC property.

139
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,640
 Yes, sir.

140
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,400
 That is, there's already an end user that's on that site, correct, or has it already got

141
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,400
 that?

142
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,840
 I do believe there is some storage application, or an application for storage development

143
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:29,840
 going in.

144
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,840
 I believe Angie, yeah.

145
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,440
 So we do have some process working through with that.

146
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:40,160
 And just a minor note as well, that as this lot is split zoned, Commissioner Pruitt pointed

147
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,440
 that out the other day, with the plotting process, that will be divided, so it's no

148
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,160
 longer going to be a split zone property.

149
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,160
 Gotcha.

150
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,920
 It'll be entirely as we expect it within the same limits.

151
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:54,480
 We won't run any enforcing any type of setbacks or screening or that kind of stuff with SC

152
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,640
 and high density residential next to it.

153
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,160
 There's nothing that we're going to run into there.

154
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,560
 It's one on single plot now.

155
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:02,560
 It's split zoned.

156
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,680
 It would be split zoned if this was approved.

157
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,360
 There's already an end user.

158
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,960
 I know they've got the application in for it.

159
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:13,080
 We're not past the stage in which we can enforce the correct screening or anything like that

160
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,080
 from a city standpoint.

161
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,080
 No, sir.

162
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,320
 So the zoning compliance between the CEPs, we can address that.

163
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,360
 And like I say, it will no longer be a split zone lot once the platting is done as well.

164
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:23,360
 Sure.

165
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,360
 Yeah.

166
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,960
 Just more like it's split zoned and then we're going to do the replatting and it's like there's

167
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,960
 two different projects that are happening at the same time.

168
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:29,960
 Absolutely.

169
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:30,960
 It's just making sure you don't want to have like screening.

170
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:37,720
 I'd hate if this got rezoned and this becomes a residential neighborhood that there's not

171
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:38,720
 good screening in between.

172
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:39,720
 Absolutely.

173
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:40,720
 So that makes sense.

174
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,400
 When either one of those projects or both of those projects get there, we would enforce

175
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,280
 that screening for the DDC.

176
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:46,280
 Okay.

177
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:47,280
 Tina?

178
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,960
 And I would just add, so the zoning compliance plan has already been approved for this site.

179
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:55,360
 So knowing the residential zoning, that is it, well, actually at the time that zoning

180
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:01,400
 compliance plan was done, it was evaluated with the SC zoning being in place.

181
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,640
 So it was not evaluated with residential zoning being adjacent to it.

182
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:10,160
 So keep in mind that the developer of the storage unit facility has vested rights associated

183
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,080
 with their approved zoning compliance plan.

184
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,760
 So what does that ultimately mean for screening and as well, what's buffering a residential

185
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,560
 area when you've got a, you know, having SC next to residential, there's traditionally

186
00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:25,120
 screening and setback rules within there, but if you're saying the ZCP is already in there,

187
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,400
 there's vested rights within there, could there be, if there's a rezone, could there

188
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:34,560
 be a possibility of that, what would typically be in the code for SC against R6, that the

189
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:37,800
 screening and setbacks wouldn't be enforceable or how's that?

190
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,720
 So we would not retroactively apply if that's what you're asking.

191
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:45,960
 So because they already have a zoning compliance plan approved for the storage facility site,

192
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,720
 and now if this zoning goes through for a single family residential on this property,

193
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,600
 we are not going to go back and retroactively apply additional standards.

194
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,560
 Because at the time when the zoning compliance plan was evaluated and was approved, we took

195
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:02,120
 into consideration the known conditions at that time.

196
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,320
 And so that was SC zoning on this property.

197
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:10,440
 But the traditional screening and setback rules that apply to SC versus next to R6 would

198
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:11,440
 still be enforced.

199
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,720
 There's not, what I heard you say right then, there's not additional standards that we're

200
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:15,720
 going to enforce.

201
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,720
 We're not going to retroactively enforce additional standards, but the ZCP that's already in there

202
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,680
 is including the already required screening, it's already in the development code.

203
00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:23,680
 That's correct.

204
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:27,800
 It would have any required screening improvements that were necessary for the property to the

205
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,440
 east of it being zoned SC.

206
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:30,440
 Gotcha.

207
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:31,440
 Okay.

208
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:32,440
 Understood.

209
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:33,440
 Okay.

210
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,000
 Commissioner Brut.

211
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:42,800
 Just for clarification, I mean, once a residential application comes through for the three parcels

212
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:50,640
 that were mentioned in the backup, at subdivision plat, they would have the requirement to justify

213
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:56,080
 or to provide the screening that our code does within that subdivision plat, right?

214
00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:04,400
 So keep in mind you're dealing with, the screening requirements are a product of zoning, right?

215
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:11,400
 So any, if this property had already been successfully zoned residential and the storage

216
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:16,200
 unit development came in after the zoning that's in place, we would apply the appropriate

217
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,340
 standards per the DDC associated with zoning.

218
00:11:19,340 --> 00:11:23,880
 The subdivision of the land is not triggering certain screening improvements and Bryce and

219
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,000
 Haley keep me honest on this if I'm speaking out of turn.

220
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,760
 But because those screening requirements are a function of zoning, typically they're applied.

221
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,560
 When we look at a site that is being reviewed for development, we look at the surrounding

222
00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:38,360
 properties, we look at the zoning that's on those surrounding properties to see if any

223
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,280
 of those additional standards kick in.

224
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,320
 So they're tied to the zoning of the property, not whether or not someone's proposing to

225
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,640
 subdivide the property.

226
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:46,640
 Got it.

227
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:47,640
 Thank you.

228
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:52,360
 So, but still it would be evaluated at zoning compliance plan for a residential development

229
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,520
 on the R6 parcel.

230
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:55,520
 Right.

231
00:11:55,520 --> 00:12:02,040
 So, yes, so with the R6 development occurring, if R6 was required to install any additional

232
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,680
 screening requirements because it's adjacent to a commercial property, we would apply those.

233
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:10,840
 But typically it's the commercial zoned properties that have the higher performance standard

234
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,480
 than the single family residential neighborhoods.

235
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,480
 Okay.

236
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:14,480
 Thank you.

237
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,920
 I think that was my multiple of my concern is that the commercial properties traditionally

238
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,520
 have the higher requirements when they're going against residential rather than residential

239
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:21,640
 being against commercial.

240
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:26,880
 It's about who's the onus of having to do the screening is where my concern was.

241
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,040
 And so it sounds like the onus is going to be on the R6, is what I've heard, is that

242
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:36,400
 the ZCP, if this was to be rezoned, subdivided plats and everything is all the same, there's

243
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,040
 no longer a split zone property that's there, so it's all in the same there.

244
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:45,420
 Then when that ZCP gets done for that R6, that screening requirement applies, which

245
00:12:45,420 --> 00:12:49,960
 could be less than what it could be compared to the SC having to go through a new screening.

246
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:50,960
 That is correct.

247
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:51,960
 I understand.

248
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,160
 Thank you very much.

249
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:59,080
 And then Bryce, the only question I had was, I'm sure you'll get into it, but I think

250
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,840
 from my understanding, a TIA was not required for this because it's only one and a half

251
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,880
 acres.

252
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,360
 My only question I think was just in regards to when we talked to engineering as we're,

253
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:15,040
 this is being rezoned to be lumped in with the seven and a half to the east for a total

254
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,040
 development, right?

255
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,760
 And I know that we're focusing on the one and a half acres.

256
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:23,440
 That's the only piece of property we're talking about for tonight's item, right?

257
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:29,560
 But from an engineering standpoint, mobility, I should really say, from that standpoint,

258
00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:34,160
 all nine acres together at some point in time later on the road, a TIA would be required,

259
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,160
 correct?

260
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,160
 Yes, sir.

261
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,160
 And just for clarity, it is 18 acres total.

262
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,160
 18 acres, sorry.

263
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,160
 Yes, sir.

264
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,160
 Whatever that number is.

265
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:45,120
 It looks like a big lot, and I just guess, so I'll just take a big old stab at it.

266
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,000
 So we'll hand it to the TIA, we'll come with the, I believe it's the CEPs and the ZCP stage.

267
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,000
 Gotcha.

268
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,000
 That's what I understood.

269
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,000
 Okay.

270
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,000
 Good.

271
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
 Any other questions?

272
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,000
 Okay.

273
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,000
 Thank you, Bryce.

274
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,000
 Appreciate it.

275
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,000
 Thank you.

276
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,000
 All right.

277
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:06,360
 Next is item 4B, S24-0001, and that is Ashley.

278
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:07,360
 Good evening.

279
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:13,880
 Ashley Eckstead, Associate Planner.

280
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,400
 This is S24-1, RDO Equipment.

281
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,680
 This is a request to allow for a John Deere commercial use, which is considered an equipment

282
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:27,280
 sales and rental use, and this use will also include accessory uses such as retail, sales

283
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,380
 office, product displays, warehousing, and equipment servicing.

284
00:14:30,380 --> 00:14:31,780
 This may look familiar to you.

285
00:14:31,780 --> 00:14:35,080
 This was before you as a rezoning in February.

286
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,760
 The existing zoning is shown on the map on the left.

287
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,080
 The blue is light industrial, and the future land use map is on the right.

288
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,360
 The blue is light industrial, and the purple is industrial commerce.

289
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,400
 This is an approximately 10-acre site located on the south side of US 380, west of Mosh

290
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,800
 Branch Road, and I do have a longer presentation for the public hearing, but happy to answer

291
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,200
 any questions now also.

292
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,200
 See any questions?

293
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,200
 Okay.

294
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,200
 Thank you, Ashley.

295
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,200
 Appreciate it.

296
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,200
 Thanks.

297
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:09,600
 With that, I'll take us to the end of clarification of our agenda items, so I will move on to

298
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:17,520
 work session agenda item number two, and that is 2A PZ24-074, receive a report and hold

299
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,040
 discussion regarding the Razor Ranch Overlay District, and Haley's got this.

300
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,040
 All right.

301
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,040
 Good evening, Commission.

302
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,120
 Haley Zagurski, Assistant Planning Director.

303
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,040
 So today's discussion is really intended to tee up a future item that will be before you

304
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,760
 all, so this is informational only today just to give some background since we do have some

305
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,920
 new members of the Commission, but later this summer you will see some ordinance amendments

306
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,040
 coming forward related to Razor Ranch.

307
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,000
 So just to give some background, the Razor Ranch Overlay District was a product of our

308
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,880
 2002 development code that did authorize us to do zoning overlays to give an additional

309
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,600
 layer of regulations on top of the base zoning.

310
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,360
 You'd see something of this nature more frequently as a plan development under our current code,

311
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:04,160
 but we did have overlays in lieu of plan developments in the 02 code.

312
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:09,160
 The Razor Ranch Overlay includes all of the area outlined in black on the map, so it's

313
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,040
 approximately 400 acres of land today.

314
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:16,560
 It started out as about 410, but a few parcels have been zoned out of the overlay in recent

315
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:17,560
 years.

316
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,960
 You can see it does cover land on both sides of University Drive, both north and south,

317
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,200
 roughly between 35 and Bonnie Bray.

318
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,680
 It is a mix of residential and commercial.

319
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,640
 I'm sure you're familiar with the area as it's one of our regional shopping hubs.

320
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,760
 And if you've been out there recently, you may have noticed it's primarily built out.

321
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:38,040
 Here between 85 and 90% of the land area is actually accounted for today.

322
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:45,760
 But there are a few remaining vacant parcels as well as opportunities for redevelopment or additional things to be added in the future on the property.

323
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:54,360
 So to give some background as to why we're going to be bringing forward ordinance amendments, I wanted to start at the very beginning.

324
00:16:54,360 --> 00:17:02,920
 So Razor Ranch, before it came to the city as a proposal, was actually created as a set of deed restrictions by the property owners of this collective land area.

325
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:08,560
 About 2006, those deed restrictions, if you look at the county, include concept plan,

326
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:14,040
 land designations as to what uses would go where, as well as development standards for the property.

327
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:19,920
 Those deed restrictions are not enforceable by the city of Denton, and they don't match line for line with what the city's ordinances have.

328
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,080
 One of the key things that that did create, though, was an architectural review board.

329
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:29,320
 So people who are interested in developing in Razor Ranch, similar to you would if you have an HOA for

330
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,040
 your neighborhood would go before that board with their proposal.

331
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,040
 We hope they do that before they come to us so that we know they have that blessing when they show up here.

332
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:44,600
 But sometimes we do share that news with them, and then they go back and do that concurrent with when they're going through our review process.

333
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:50,320
 In 2007 is when the city officially adopted the first ordinance related to Razor Ranch.

334
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:56,680
 At that time we did comprehensive plan amendments for our future land use map as well as our mobility plan related to this area.

335
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:02,640
 In that first phase of zoning standards, again based off the 2002 code, was adopted in 07,

336
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,280
 and those ordinances are what is enforceable by the city of Denton.

337
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:11,480
 The regulatory text of the Razor Ranch overlay, so the land uses, the dimensional standards,

338
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,960
 the processes for how it goes through amendments and adopt site plans,

339
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:21,400
 were originally housed in section 35.7.15 of our 2002 code.

340
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:26,320
 If you read through that part of the DDC at the time, you would find reference to a lot of exhibits, lettered A through H.

341
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,680
 And you would go looking through the code and not be able to find them because they were never housed in the DDC.

342
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,920
 Those were all separate ordinances that had to be referenced.

343
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:39,080
 And those were all the design standards for it, the architecture, the streetscaping, landscaping, and those things.

344
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:49,360
 Cumulatively since 2007, we've adopted over 20 ordinances related to Razor Ranch that just build upon each other, replace parts of one another.

345
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:51,560
 It's a bit of controlled chaos to be honest.

346
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:58,000
 Most of the standards in the Razor's ordinance, you'll see, refer back to the 2002 DDC, so

347
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:03,360
 they'll say this property was zoned RCCD with these exceptions, everything else defers to the code.

348
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:08,080
 So it's a really piece-mealed process to read through that ordinance and figure out what applies.

349
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:17,160
 We did a couple of attempts at kind of major overhauls in 2008 after it was first done, and then again in '16, but they were not comprehensive by any means.

350
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:22,160
 And many of those ordinances, if you look at them, only apply to certain lots or certain sub-areas within Razor Ranch.

351
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:28,280
 When we adopted the 2019 code, some of you may recall we created a placeholder for

352
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:35,200
 Razor Ranch with the intent to eventually fold it into the DDC and control the chaos and get it all housed in one place.

353
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:41,600
 So if you look in our overlay chapter of the code today in 4.8, you'll see Razor Ranch listed as an overlay district.

354
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,560
 And then it will refer you to Appendix A, which does not exist yet.

355
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:50,600
 So that's what we hope to bring before you all this summer to finally get it formally adopted as one ordinance in lieu of 20.

356
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:58,360
 So this is just a screenshot, because I put together a table to show you all those 23 ordinances that relate to Razor.

357
00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:01,520
 If you read through them, you'll see a lot of them are piece-mealed for certain areas.

358
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,080
 One of them is literally just for one lot.

359
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:08,280
 And then over time, it's just built upon this chaos.

360
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:16,440
 Like I said, in 2016 was that last major amendment, but if you read it, it still refers you back to 2008 and 2010 versions of the ordinance for specific parcels.

361
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:23,400
 So very cumbersome for people who are interested in developing a Razor as well as for staff to get a handle on.

362
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:28,480
 So just walking you through the areas of Razor, we do have the marketplace,

363
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:34,280
 which is the north side of 380 and the south campus, which is the whole area south of 380.

364
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:39,400
 So the regulations depend on which half of the campus that you're in.

365
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:44,400
 And then within those, we have multiple sub areas that each have their own sets of architectural and design standards as well.

366
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,080
 So just a quick overview of those.

367
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:55,160
 The RR2 area, which I just learned this week after years of working with Razor, Razor Ranch stood for regional retail.

368
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:56,880
 We've always wondered what the RR stood for.

369
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,560
 I finally found it.

370
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,520
 So the RR2 area is what's shown in yellow on the north side.

371
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:08,920
 That's more of the smaller box stores, what they call the junior anchor stores, as well as a lot of the smaller out parcels.

372
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:14,360
 The RR3 area is those big boxes, so Home Depot, Sam's, Walmart, and things of that nature.

373
00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:19,160
 And then there is the residential portion that a lot of people don't necessarily realize is within Razor Ranch, but

374
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,560
 that's recently been developing with some single family for rent, as well as town home units.

375
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:31,320
 And then on the south side, we have the town center area that you're all probably familiar with that has the convention center and

376
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,960
 the movie theater and uses of that nature, more of the entertainment area.

377
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,880
 We've recently seen some site plans for residential in this area as well.

378
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:43,480
 And then we have the south RR2, which is kind of that perimeter that's a lot of the smaller pad site,

379
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,280
 retail, restaurants type uses.

380
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:51,520
 And then we have what they call the South Mixed Use District, which is primarily residential.

381
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:58,800
 Also contains the Razor Ranch Park that was recently dedicated to the city just a few years ago, as well as some hotel and office lots as well.

382
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:06,120
 This area also contains a DME substation, which you may have noticed driving on Bonnie Bray.

383
00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:12,880
 It has the Cooke Children's Property, which still has quite a bit of vacant land area that they can develop in the future with medical uses.

384
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,360
 And then the Gaswell site that's also adjacent to Bonnie Bray.

385
00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:25,240
 So the purpose of the overlay and why we're carrying it forward is because it does provide for that consistency in design throughout Razor Ranch.

386
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:30,240
 So like I mentioned, it has standards for consistency in signage, architecture, landscaping,

387
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:36,160
 things just to give you that feel that you know you're in a designated place that was kind of master planned while you're there.

388
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:42,240
 So if you look at some of the buildings, you'll see compatible building materials to use throughout consistency and color palette.

389
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:48,400
 They have a very neutral theme for all of their buildings, as well as similarities in roof style, lighting, and things of those natures.

390
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,880
 So it helps create the feeling of being in Razor Ranch.

391
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,520
 It also provides for that compatible mix of land uses.

392
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:59,840
 So they do, throughout the overlay, pull out some of the uses that we might typically see allowed in these areas.

393
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,560
 There's no industrial uses, for example, within Razor.

394
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,200
 It's all commercial and residential type uses.

395
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:12,360
 And then the other thing that occurs within the Razor Ranch overlay is they did ask for certain trade offs when it was adopted.

396
00:23:12,360 --> 00:23:21,240
 So one of the most significant examples is you'll see tons of parking at Razor Ranch because they were exempted from the parking maximums of the code at the time.

397
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,400
 That is carried forward for them.

398
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:27,840
 They do some additional storm water treatments to account for that parking.

399
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:34,440
 But some of the key things the city got as trade offs for that were those architectural details that we don't see elsewhere in the city.

400
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,880
 We don't enforce a color palette anywhere else within the city of Denton, for example.

401
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,440
 They also require plaza and open space with all of the developments throughout Razor.

402
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:50,760
 So there's a minimum standard that each lot has to account for, whereas we don't normally see that sort of public gathering space required with our commercial uses elsewhere in the city.

403
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:57,040
 And then, as you all are familiar with, their site plans do come to PNZ for that extra level of scrutiny beyond just staff's level of approval.

404
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:07,120
 So as I've mentioned throughout the challenge with Razor and why we'll be coming back before you all is because we have this franken ordinance of all these pieces.

405
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:14,120
 The 20 individual ordinances or over 20, as well as the 2002 code that we have to comb through to enforce this district.

406
00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:18,640
 I mentioned in 2016, we tried to do as a city a comprehensive update, but

407
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:25,280
 certain landowners within Razor were very concerned about losing privileges that they had gotten approved back in 2008 and 2010.

408
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:33,320
 So we carried it forward and said, we're going to do all of these great things, but you still, for these lots, have to go back to these ordinances and find these old rules and old processes that apply.

409
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:40,520
 So we're bringing all of that into the modern era and into the 2019 code as Appendix A of the DDC so

410
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:46,760
 that everyone, city staff as well as our customers, will have one place to go look for the Razor Ranch ordinances.

411
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:53,040
 Another reason for this is because in 2019, you may recall the legislative changes that occurred relating to building materials.

412
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,200
 We can no longer enforce a significant portion of the architectural standards at Razor.

413
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:03,280
 Their architectural board can still enforce those on the private side, but we'll be changing those two recommendations within our code so

414
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,640
 that it no longer creates that conflict for staff of not being able to enforce our ordinance.

415
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:16,240
 So we've been working with a consultant for the, I would say a little over a year now, to get all of those consolidated into one document.

416
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:21,480
 She's done a great job of combing through all of them, pulling together everything that each lot needs and

417
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:26,840
 kind of reformatting it all into one usable document, as well as coming through the entire 2002 code and

418
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:32,760
 going section by section and pulling forward everything that they relied upon that's changed in the 2019 code.

419
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:37,600
 So for parking, for example, if they have a use that has a ratio from the old code,

420
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:42,920
 we've brought that forward into the Razor Ranch district, otherwise they'll just go to the 2019 standards like everyone else.

421
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:48,960
 So we're not changing anything on them, but we are reformatting it all and making it more usable.

422
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:54,840
 Right now, we're soliciting feedback from the owners of Razor Ranch to make sure that they're all on board with everything that we're bringing forward.

423
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:59,180
 And then once we have that, we'll be coming to you all in the next few months for your consideration and

424
00:25:59,180 --> 00:26:04,080
 hopefully formal adoption by council of this new consolidated Razor Ranch document.

425
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,200
 And with that, I'm happy to answer any questions.

426
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,000
 >> Any questions for Haley?

427
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,320
 Commissioner Pruitt.

428
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,200
 >> Thank you, Chair.

429
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,440
 Can you go back to the last slide?

430
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,720
 I just didn't quite make it through the second half here.

431
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:24,320
 So just to make sure I understand, it sounds like

432
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:32,000
 portions of the regulations that are in effect now,

433
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:40,000
 which are identical to the base 2019 adopted DDC will be

434
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:45,000
 brought forward and within that appendix, it will refer to the rest of the DDC.

435
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:45,760
 >> Correct. >> However,

436
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,760
 anything that is different either in an overlay that's applicable to a particular

437
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:57,160
 zoning district or referring to a portion of the 2002 code,

438
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:02,760
 which was different than our current code, would be instantiated within the appendix.

439
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:03,600
 >> Correct.

440
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:09,640
 >> Okay, how are the zoning districts going to be handled?

441
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:21,120
 Because we've gone to a little bit of a different nomenclature of districts as well as overlays don't exactly existed before.

442
00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:22,000
 >> Correct.

443
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,240
 >> Can you help me understand just what the vision is there?

444
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,440
 >> Sure, so what it will look like is, similar to this map,

445
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,200
 we are calling out the sub areas within Razor as their own areas and all of those zoning

446
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:42,720
 standards that were from the RCCD or NRMU district under the 02 code have just been brought forward as the standards for that new sub district within Razor Ranch.

447
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:49,120
 >> Okay. >> So it's in effect no longer an overlay because we're not having to overlay on top of any base district.

448
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:51,200
 But we've brought forward all of those standards.

449
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:59,720
 The density, the dimensional standards, the setbacks, all of that will now be housed just within the Razor Ranch area written for that sub district.

450
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,520
 >> All right, and are we going to maintain the naming of the sub districts?

451
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,000
 >> We've modified them slightly.

452
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:11,000
 >> Okay. >> Like I mentioned, since we didn't know what RR stood for, rather than continuing to call it by an acronym we did not know the meaning of.

453
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:17,160
 We were like, now the south RR2 district is going to be the south commercial district and the town center will just be the town center.

454
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,040
 >> Okay, that's great.

455
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:19,560
 Thank you.

456
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,520
 >> Okay, any other questions for Hailey?

457
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:27,880
 Okay, thank you Hailey, I appreciate it.

458
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,640
 With that, that takes the end of our agenda for our work session.

459
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:39,720
 So I will call our work session to an end here at 528, we'll reconvene in chambers at 630.

460
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:54,320
 >> Good evening and welcome to the regularly scheduled session for the Denton City Planning and

461
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:59,400
 Zoning Commission, April 24th of 2024, being at 630, I'll go ahead and call our meeting to order.

462
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:06,120
 Before us to first begin, I'd like to recognize that Commissioner Thaggard and Chair Ellis are absent.

463
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,920
 And we will move on to our first item on our agenda, which will be the Pledge of Allegiance.

464
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,640
 So if you're able, please stand and give the US and Texas flag.

465
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:23,080
 >> I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands,

466
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:27,920
 one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

467
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:37,400
 >> I pledge allegiance to the Texas flag, and I pledge allegiance to the Texas, one state, under God, one and indivisible.

468
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:45,000
 >> Moving on to our agenda item number two, consider the approval of the Planning and

469
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,560
 Zoning Commission meeting minutes, PZ 24-063.

470
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:49,320
 Commissioner Villarreal?

471
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,800
 >> Move approval.

472
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:52,600
 >> Commissioner Pruitt?

473
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:53,100
 >> Second.

474
00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:55,640
 >> With a first and a second, we have any discussion?

475
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,280
 Okay, seeing none, I'll move us to have a vote on the board.

476
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:08,160
 [BLANK_AUDIO]

477
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,040
 That item passes 6-0.

478
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:17,440
 Okay, moving on to item three, starting with 3A, FP 24-0010.

479
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,080
 I'll be presented by Julie Wyatt.

480
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:24,520
 [BLANK_AUDIO]

481
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,480
 >> Good evening, I'm Julie Wyatt, principal planner at the city.

482
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:33,400
 This is FP 24-0010, it is Mayhill Multifamily Addition.

483
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:38,640
 This property is located on the west side of Mayhill, just north of Russell Newman.

484
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:44,920
 This site was the subject of a specific use permit that was approved last year for a multifamily development.

485
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:49,200
 They're now coming in with the platting for this property in the development process.

486
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:55,640
 They do have a couple of items that they do need to address in order for staff to be able to recommend approval.

487
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,360
 However, they have requested an extension, that 30 day extension.

488
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,000
 It is the first one, and we have no objection to that.

489
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,200
 I'll be happy to answer any questions.

490
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,760
 >> Thank you, Julie.

491
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:06,360
 >> Thank you.

492
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:07,320
 >> I don't see any questions.

493
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:08,800
 Commissioner Villarreal.

494
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:13,400
 >> Move approval of the extension request to a date certain of May 15th, 2024.

495
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,920
 >> Okay, Commissioner Desiree, Mayor Pedrone, sorry.

496
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,240
 >> I second.

497
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,120
 >> All right, with a first and a second to continue to date certain, any discussion?

498
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,960
 Okay, seeing none, we'll move for a vote on the board.

499
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:35,520
 Motion passes 5-0.

500
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:44,720
 Moving on to item 3B, that'll be PP24-0002A presented here by Ms. Cameron Robertson.

501
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,040
 >> Good evening, Cameron Robertson, Principal Planner.

502
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:54,640
 This is PP24-002A, this is for the Hunter Ranch Phase 1 Amenity Center.

503
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,880
 This is approximately eight acres,

504
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:03,080
 located just north of Robeson Ranch Road, west of Interstate 35W.

505
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,320
 Staff is recommending approval this evening for

506
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,360
 the preliminary plot, as it meets all our criteria, and I can stand for any questions.

507
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:13,280
 >> Hey, Cameron, before I take a motion,

508
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:17,200
 I just want to make the record known that Commissioner Cole has recused himself.

509
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:22,240
 I don't see any questions for Cameron, but I will take a motion in a second.

510
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,120
 >> Commissioner Pruitt?

511
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:26,760
 >> I'll move approval.

512
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,560
 >> Commissioner Patrone?

513
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,240
 >> It's not working, but I second.

514
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:33,360
 It's working.

515
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,440
 >> Okay, first and a second, have any discussion?

516
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,280
 Okay, seeing none, we'll move for a vote on the board.

517
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,040
 Okay, that motion passes 4-0 with one recusal.

518
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:04,240
 Moving on to item 3C, FP24-0011, presented by Angie Manglaris.

519
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,280
 >> Good evening, Chair, members of the commission.

520
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,280
 Angie Manglaris, Development Review Manager.

521
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,640
 This is FP24-0011.

522
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:17,040
 This is a final plot for Phase 1 of Stella Hills Residential Subdivision.

523
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:22,280
 This is on approximately 48 acres, consisting of 177 lots on East McKinney

524
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,800
 Street at the intersection of East McKinney and Laney Circle.

525
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,640
 At this time, there still are some outstanding comments to address,

526
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,120
 and staff is recommending denial.

527
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,640
 However, we have no objection to the request of extension,

528
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,520
 which could be granted to a date certain of May 15th.

529
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,200
 This would be their first extension request.

530
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:38,920
 Happy to answer any questions.

531
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,360
 >> Thank you, Angie.

532
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:41,840
 I don't see any questions.

533
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,000
 Commissioner Villarreal?

534
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:47,160
 >> Move approval of the extension request to a date certain of May 15th, 2024.

535
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:48,240
 >> Thank you, Commissioner Cole?

536
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:49,720
 >> Second.

537
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,480
 >> With a first and a second, we have any discussion?

538
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,560
 Okay, let's go ahead and call for a vote on the board.

539
00:33:54,560 --> 00:34:04,560
 That motion passes five, zero.

540
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:08,640
 Moving on to item 3D, FP24-0006D.

541
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,640
 Once again, Angie, back up to the podium.

542
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,120
 >> Thank you, Chair, members of the commission.

543
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,520
 This is FP24-0006D.

544
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,240
 This is a final plot for JPI at Bonnie Bray.

545
00:34:20,240 --> 00:34:23,960
 It is a multifamily development on approximately 31 acres.

546
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:28,400
 It's located just west of Bonnie Bray and south of Bronco Way.

547
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,320
 At this time, staff is recommending denial of the final plot,

548
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,840
 as it does not yet meet all of our criteria for approval.

549
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,240
 However, we have no objection to the request of extension,

550
00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:39,200
 which could be granted to a date certain of May 15th.

551
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,960
 This would be their fourth extension request.

552
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,840
 Happy to answer any questions you may have.

553
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,840
 >> I don't see any questions, Angie.

554
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:47,840
 Thank you.

555
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:56,280
 >> Do I have a motion or a second in regards to this?

556
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:57,480
 Commissioner Pruitt?

557
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,720
 >> I'll move to approve the applicant requested extension

558
00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:03,000
 to May 15th, 2024.

559
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:03,880
 >> Okay, Commissioner Cole?

560
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,400
 >> Second.

561
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,240
 >> First and second, any discussion?

562
00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:10,560
 Okay, seeing none, call for a vote on the board.

563
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,320
 That motion passes 5-0.

564
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:28,760
 Next up, 3EFP24-0009A, Mia Hines to present.

565
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,440
 >> Good evening, Chair, members of the commission,

566
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:32,920
 Mia Hines, senior planner.

567
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,080
 This item is a final plot for Hickory Grove Phase 2.

568
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:40,280
 The site is just under 60 acres located north

569
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,320
 of West University Drive and east--

570
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,400
 I'm sorry, west of Thomas J. Egan Road.

571
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:49,000
 At the time of the publication of your backup,

572
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,920
 the final plot was not ready for approval or recommendation

573
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,520
 of approval, but staff has since worked with the applicant

574
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,280
 and so we are recommending approval of the revised copy

575
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,600
 that was sent out to this body yesterday.

576
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,520
 With that, I'll take any questions or comments.

577
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,680
 >> I don't see any, Mia.

578
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:06,680
 Thank you.

579
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,920
 I'll entertain a motion.

580
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,280
 Commissioner Pruitt?

581
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,320
 >> Move approval of the revised plot.

582
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,400
 >> Okay, a second, Commissioner Cole?

583
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,760
 >> A first and a second.

584
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:20,800
 No discussion.

585
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,080
 Go ahead and call for a vote on the board.

586
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:33,040
 That motion passes 5-0.

587
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,480
 Last item of items for individual consideration,

588
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:42,040
 that would be 3EFFV24-0001, presented by Bryce Van Arsdale.

589
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:46,880
 >> Good evening, Commission, Bryce Van Arsdale,

590
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:47,680
 Assistant Planner.

591
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,760
 This is V24-0001.

592
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,720
 So this site is located on the west side of Hilltop Road,

593
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:57,240
 just north of East Hickory Hill.

594
00:36:57,240 --> 00:37:01,200
 The zoning is in the ETJ Division 1 of the city of Denton.

595
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,520
 The applicant is proposing to subdivide the property

596
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,960
 in order to split an existing church building

597
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,600
 from the remainder of the lot, which

598
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,840
 is existing as a recreational vehicle storage at the moment.

599
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,680
 The lot to be created on the western portion

600
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,280
 of the property will be taken access

601
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,760
 via a flag drive from Hilltop Road.

602
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,440
 The requested variance is to increase

603
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,880
 the allowable length of a flag drive from 300 to 600 feet.

604
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,440
 And it will connect to Hilltop Road,

605
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,760
 which is a variable width secondary arterial.

606
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,920
 And the proposed flagpole portion of the lot

607
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,880
 is approximately 75 feet wide.

608
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,840
 There are some considerations for the Commission

609
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,320
 to have whenever they are reviewing these.

610
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,000
 First off, if approved, the variance

611
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,120
 is not anticipated to be detrimental to public safety.

612
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,200
 The city of Denton Fire Department

613
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,920
 has reviewed and approved this application.

614
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,800
 Additionally, if the variance is approved,

615
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,200
 the lot that is created would be of a regular shape and layout.

616
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,120
 And due to the significant depth in relation

617
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:02,160
 to the width of the property, the flag drive

618
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:06,720
 is necessary in order to justify the access.

619
00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:08,760
 If approved, the increase in the allowable length

620
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,320
 of the flagpole portion of the lot

621
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:11,800
 will not introduce design centers

622
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,880
 that are incompatible with the DDC.

623
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:16,680
 And additionally, the conditions associated

624
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,040
 with the subject property were not

625
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,880
 created by the property owner himself.

626
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,680
 Staff does recommend approval of this request

627
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,320
 as it meets all of the criteria set out within the DDC.

628
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,400
 And I'm here for any questions.

629
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:29,320
 I don't see any, Bryce.

630
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:29,800
 Thank you.

631
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,920
 Thank you.

632
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,960
 OK, I'll entertain a motion.

633
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,320
 Commissioner Cole?

634
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:37,960
 I'll make a motion to approve.

635
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:38,800
 Commissioner Pruitt?

636
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:39,800
 Second.

637
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,160
 First and a second, we have any discussion?

638
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,280
 OK, does anyone have a call for a vote on the board?

639
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:55,560
 Motion passes five, zero.

640
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,120
 That concludes our agenda items for individual consideration.

641
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,880
 Move on down to agenda item number four, our public hearings.

642
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:07,440
 Starting off with 4A will be Z24-0003,

643
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,040
 presented by Bryce van Ardeel.

644
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:11,840
 And I'll go ahead and open the public hearing

645
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,620
 for us to begin.

646
00:39:13,620 --> 00:39:14,580
 Good evening, Commission.

647
00:39:14,580 --> 00:39:15,560
 Long time no see.

648
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,320
 Bryce van Ardeel, assistant planner.

649
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,520
 This is Z24-0003.

650
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:25,160
 So this is a 1.52 acre property on the east side

651
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,320
 of Fort Worth Drive and on the north side of Hobson Lane.

652
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,080
 We are proposing-- the rezone request

653
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,400
 is for the properties moved from suburban corridor

654
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,240
 to residential six.

655
00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:39,160
 The intent is to match the adjacent property

656
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,800
 to the north and the east, which is also residential six,

657
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,120
 under the same ownership.

658
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,600
 The Denton Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map

659
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,240
 designates this area as low residential and community

660
00:39:50,240 --> 00:39:51,560
 mixed use.

661
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,280
 The low residential, typically, we

662
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,640
 accommodate for single family detached dwellings,

663
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,240
 as well as related uses that may support

664
00:39:59,240 --> 00:40:01,200
 a residential neighborhood.

665
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:02,860
 The community mixed use designation

666
00:40:02,860 --> 00:40:05,440
 does apply to existing as well as future commercial

667
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,060
 developments within the city, in which

668
00:40:07,060 --> 00:40:10,800
 we want to encourage a diverse and attractive array of uses.

669
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,600
 The criteria for approval-- this proposal

670
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,800
 is consistent with the Denton 2040 Comprehensive Plan,

671
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:23,920
 the Denton Development Code, as well as the R6 Zoning District

672
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,200
 Purpose Statement.

673
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,000
 In addition, this zoning change is not

674
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,320
 expected to bring any adverse impacts

675
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,520
 to the city or the area.

676
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,400
 A notification was posted in the Denton Record

677
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,560
 Chronicle on April 7th of this year.

678
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:41,360
 The city website posted a notice on April 4th,

679
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,680
 and there was a sign posted on the property on April 5th.

680
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,120
 We mailed a total of 27 notices out

681
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:48,640
 to the surrounding property owners

682
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,080
 and received seven responses in favor.

683
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,160
 I do want to make a note that your backup had

684
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,240
 the in favor listed as two, that we've obviously

685
00:40:57,240 --> 00:40:59,280
 received a couple since then.

686
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,480
 The applicant did not conduct a neighborhood meeting,

687
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,840
 but did reach out to property owners individually.

688
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,440
 Staff recommends approval of this

689
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,320
 as this meets all of the set out criteria within the DDC.

690
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,200
 And I'm here for any questions.

691
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,120
 I do believe that the applicant is here as well,

692
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,360
 and he has a small presentation he'd like to give.

693
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,080
 - Thank you, Bryce.

694
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,840
 I want to throw it to Tina first, real quick,

695
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,200
 to give clarification from an item that was

696
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:24,640
 brought up during work session.

697
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,400
 - Great job, Bryce.

698
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,440
 So one of the things I wanted to correct with our discussion

699
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,760
 from work session is Haley brought to my attention.

700
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,720
 So for the single-family residential development,

701
00:41:33,720 --> 00:41:36,240
 they do have a responsibility for meeting the 10-point

702
00:41:36,240 --> 00:41:38,280
 screening buffering requirement that

703
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,120
 would be adjacent to the commercial development.

704
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:42,520
 As we talked about in work session,

705
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,600
 being that we already have a zoning compliance plan

706
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:48,360
 for the self-storage use that is immediately to the west,

707
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,840
 because of when that plan was approved,

708
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,560
 they are not having to meet certain screening

709
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:53,480
 and buffering requirements.

710
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,600
 I believe it would be 50 points for their use right now

711
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,480
 because of the resident or because of this property

712
00:41:58,480 --> 00:41:59,920
 being rezoned or residential.

713
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:01,240
 Now, of course, if that development

714
00:42:01,240 --> 00:42:04,000
 does not come to fruition and a new plan is submitted

715
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,520
 for a new development application for that site,

716
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,880
 then we would apply the appropriate screening

717
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:10,200
 and buffering point requirements that

718
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:11,560
 are necessary at that time.

719
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,360
 - Got it.

720
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:14,760
 Thank you, Tina, I appreciate it.

721
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,200
 Any questions for city staff?

722
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:20,320
 Okay, I don't see any.

723
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:21,160
 This is a public hearing.

724
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,360
 We do have the applicant who wants to present and speak,

725
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,200
 and that would be Thomas Fletcher.

726
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,280
 Come on down and give your name, address,

727
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:28,720
 and then your time will begin.

728
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:37,240
 - Good evening, commissioners.

729
00:42:37,240 --> 00:42:38,840
 Thomas Fletcher with Kimley-Horn.

730
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,800
 I'm the consultant for the applicant.

731
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,040
 6160 Warren Parkway, Frisco, Texas.

732
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,280
 Appreciate the opportunity to present to you tonight.

733
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,160
 Appreciate the staff presentation as well,

734
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:51,960
 kind of going through the project.

735
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:53,280
 I will keep this brief.

736
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,440
 The project is located along Hobson Lane

737
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,800
 in the northeast corner of US 377,

738
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,840
 Country Club Road and Hobson Lane.

739
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,800
 We're showing there the request for 1.5 acres

740
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,640
 for the zoning boundary goes to the center line of the road.

741
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,720
 The actual property is just over 1.3 acres.

742
00:43:13,720 --> 00:43:15,440
 So when looking at the development

743
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,720
 and kind of what the uses might be

744
00:43:17,720 --> 00:43:21,280
 and how they could affect the traffic and surrounding uses,

745
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,560
 we really were kind of looking at what could be developed

746
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,440
 in the 1.3 area of the property.

747
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:33,360
 The surrounding zoning is R6 to the north and to the east,

748
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:37,120
 R2 to the south and SC around to the west

749
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:38,680
 and somewhat to the north.

750
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,960
 We've already kind of gone through

751
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,720
 and Bryce covered the future land use plan.

752
00:43:43,720 --> 00:43:45,720
 But really what I wanted to kind of hit on

753
00:43:45,720 --> 00:43:48,120
 is under SC suburban corridor,

754
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,440
 what could be developed under this property

755
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,120
 with its current zoning.

756
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:53,800
 Food and beverage service,

757
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:55,800
 which includes restaurant drive-through,

758
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,600
 bar, tavern or lounge,

759
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,560
 office, business, professional services,

760
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,720
 retail sales, lodging facilities.

761
00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:04,520
 So with lodging facilities,

762
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,880
 because it's only a 1.3 acre tract,

763
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,440
 we really didn't even look at that use

764
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,160
 because it would not be feasible to develop there.

765
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,680
 But when we looked at the 1.3 acres

766
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,880
 and what we could develop,

767
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,280
 what we did is we went through

768
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:22,480
 and looked at the ITE transportation uses

769
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,840
 for each of those uses to determine approximately

770
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,320
 what would be the average daily trips for each use.

771
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:30,760
 So a sit-down restaurant,

772
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,920
 you're looking at close to 1,300 trips per day.

773
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,000
 A drive-through fast food restaurant,

774
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,520
 just under 2,000 trips per day.

775
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:43,200
 The small office building would be about 260 trips per day.

776
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,560
 The strip retail plaza would be

777
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,880
 just under 1,000 uses per day.

778
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,640
 But with the residential zoning, the R6,

779
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,160
 it would be down zoning.

780
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,840
 So you're looking at just about 50 trips per day.

781
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:59,840
 So you can see even the lowest use for the SC

782
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,120
 has about five times the traffic generation

783
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,440
 as what the residential development would produce.

784
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,720
 And depending on how that developed out,

785
00:45:08,720 --> 00:45:09,960
 if it developed as SC,

786
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:11,880
 it could be significantly greater than that.

787
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:15,080
 So I did wanna point out that it is,

788
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,080
 the request would be down zoning

789
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:21,800
 and reduce the traffic on the transportation system.

790
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,760
 And really, that's really the main thing

791
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,600
 I wanted to highlight in the presentation.

792
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,000
 And the owner is here with me as well,

793
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,560
 and I'm happy to stand for any questions.

794
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,000
 And he is here for questions as well.

795
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:33,840
 Thank you.

796
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,920
 - Thank you, Mr. Fletcher.

797
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:38,520
 Any questions for the applicant?

798
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,960
 Okay.

799
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:46,080
 I think the one question I had for you as the engineer,

800
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:47,520
 applicant and consultant,

801
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,400
 is just concerns that are brought up

802
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,160
 by the neighborhood down the way,

803
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:52,080
 down there at Forest Ridge.

804
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,200
 I know they were concerned quite a bit

805
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,880
 just about tracked housing and that kind of stuff

806
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:58,000
 being possibly coming in there.

807
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,160
 I know we're talking about the 1.3 acres

808
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,200
 for the zoning within here

809
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,160
 as a greater part of the total of, I think, 18 acres

810
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,720
 that would be eventually platted altogether within that.

811
00:46:09,720 --> 00:46:14,280
 So any insight you think for moving down,

812
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,240
 moving down zoning down to an R6 type of product

813
00:46:17,240 --> 00:46:20,440
 that you guys would be, the owner would be pursuing?

814
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:21,960
 - Yeah, absolutely, thanks, Dave.

815
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,400
 - Kind of product that they're trying to approach

816
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,040
 to come on there with the zoning changes.

817
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:27,920
 So if you can just state your name and address

818
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:29,000
 and then we'll come to taste it.

819
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,400
 - Yes, I'm Dick Smith.

820
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,200
 I live at 721 West Hobson,

821
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,580
 which is directly across the street from this project.

822
00:46:35,580 --> 00:46:39,560
 We've lived there for 24 years

823
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,520
 and I've been a partner in owning this property

824
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:47,000
 for nearly all that time, at least 20 years.

825
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,600
 We've had numerous opportunity to develop that property

826
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,160
 over those years.

827
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,040
 And because I live across the street from it,

828
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,160
 I'm very particular as what would go in there.

829
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:03,160
 And we've had numerous builders for a subdivision.

830
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:09,760
 We will not let track housing go in there.

831
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,520
 I can assure you of that.

832
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,200
 - Okay, thank you, Mr. Smith, appreciate it.

833
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:16,040
 - Yeah, thank you.

834
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:19,960
 - I don't see any other questions for the applicant.

835
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:21,200
 This is a public hearing.

836
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,020
 I do not have any other cards wishing to speak,

837
00:47:24,020 --> 00:47:26,800
 but anybody who would like to may do so

838
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,340
 and you can fill out a card later.

839
00:47:28,340 --> 00:47:32,520
 Okay, seeing none, I'll close our public hearing

840
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:36,120
 and move to the dais for discussion, motion.

841
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:37,320
 Commissioner Villarreal.

842
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,880
 - Move approval of the requested zoning change.

843
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:41,880
 - Okay, Commissioner Cole.

844
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:43,060
 - Second.

845
00:47:43,060 --> 00:47:45,000
 - The first and a second discussion.

846
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:46,000
 Commissioner Pruitt.

847
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,040
 - Thank you, Chair.

848
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,400
 Yeah, I mean, I think we all know

849
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:54,280
 we're talking about just the 1.34, something.

850
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:55,120
 - Something like that.

851
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:56,920
 - Something less than two acres.

852
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:00,560
 You know, I think this gives the applicant

853
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:05,480
 greater flexibility to place the two drives,

854
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,000
 hopefully, along Hobson where it makes sense.

855
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:14,520
 I will say that I think this particular area of our town,

856
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:19,080
 if we don't do something quickly,

857
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:23,280
 it's going to end up as seven different subdivisions

858
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:27,440
 with 18 cul-de-sacs within the next five years,

859
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,800
 maybe 15 years, I don't know what the timeline is.

860
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:31,480
 I'm bad at guessing that.

861
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,400
 And I don't think that's what our comp plan calls for.

862
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:38,400
 But at the same time, this is a zoning request.

863
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:42,920
 So I'm just pointing out that we have other issues

864
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,200
 that we need to fix independent of this.

865
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:46,320
 So thank you.

866
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:47,160
 - That's great.

867
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:49,680
 Any other comments?

868
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,840
 I'll throw in some myself.

869
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:56,880
 So being a resident just down the road on Hobson there,

870
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,840
 this is the kind of development that we want to see.

871
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:03,960
 I believe in my opinion, just of, you know,

872
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:08,240
 having more of the residential zoning in that area,

873
00:49:08,240 --> 00:49:10,560
 it's phenomenal infill

874
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:12,360
 and already heavily residential area,

875
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:13,720
 super close to green space,

876
00:49:13,720 --> 00:49:16,440
 that residential makes sense here in the first place.

877
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,400
 The fact that it's even SC doesn't really make sense.

878
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,240
 It wouldn't be what I think most of the folks in the area

879
00:49:22,240 --> 00:49:24,240
 would kind of describe as the character of that area.

880
00:49:24,240 --> 00:49:27,240
 So with that, I think it's a great project.

881
00:49:27,240 --> 00:49:29,840
 So if there's no other comments,

882
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,720
 then we'll go ahead and move to the board for a vote.

883
00:49:32,720 --> 00:49:45,640
 That motion passes five, zero.

884
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:50,200
 Okay, good luck with your project on that as well.

885
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:54,880
 All right, moving on to 4B, S24-0001

886
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,480
 with Ashley Exit to present.

887
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:00,280
 - Good evening, Ashley Exit, assistant planner.

888
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,520
 - And I will open up the public hearing.

889
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:09,200
 - This is S241, RDO equipment.

890
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,480
 This is a request for a specific use permit

891
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,600
 to allow an equipment sales and rental use.

892
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:16,320
 Equipment sales and rental does require

893
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:19,040
 a specific use permit in light industrial zoning.

894
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:20,360
 This may look familiar to you.

895
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,880
 This was before you as a zoning change request in February.

896
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:25,840
 This use will also include accessory uses

897
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,280
 such as retail, sales office, product displays,

898
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:29,840
 and equipment servicing.

899
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,480
 This subject site is approximately 10 acres of land,

900
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:36,200
 generally located south of US 380, west of Mosh Branch Road.

901
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,880
 This is the proposed site plan.

902
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,360
 They are proposing a 28,000 square foot building.

903
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:45,080
 It is outlined on this plan in blue.

904
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,760
 13,000 square feet will include the retail showroom,

905
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,440
 product displays, parts counter, and sales offices.

906
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,760
 And 15,000 square foot will include the accessory,

907
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,560
 warehousing, and service at the rear of the building.

908
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:57,320
 There's also a vehicle parking area,

909
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:00,000
 which is to the front and side of the building.

910
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,720
 There'll be an equipment display area along the right of way

911
00:51:02,720 --> 00:51:05,080
 that is circled on this plan in red,

912
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:06,640
 and an equipment storage area,

913
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,480
 which is circled on the plan in green

914
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:09,960
 to the side and the rear.

915
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:12,760
 That will be screened by a six foot wood fence.

916
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,600
 And there will also be 35 vehicular parking spaces.

917
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,400
 The proposed landscape plan,

918
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,160
 they're proposing 22% landscape area

919
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,360
 and 20% tree canopy cover.

920
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:25,560
 They did request an alternative landscape plan

921
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:27,720
 due to the easements that you see outlined here

922
00:51:27,720 --> 00:51:29,320
 on the plan in red.

923
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,040
 They do encumber a large portion

924
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,200
 of the western property of their site.

925
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,400
 They are also along a text dot roadway,

926
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,040
 which does not allow street trees in the right of way.

927
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,440
 So they did request to relocate the street trees,

928
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,480
 and those are outlined on this plan in blue.

929
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,400
 And then they also required a landscape buffer

930
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,240
 between this commercial use and the adjacent industrial use,

931
00:51:50,240 --> 00:51:51,640
 which is a gas well.

932
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:52,480
 Due to the easements,

933
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:53,840
 they could not place the buffer

934
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:55,080
 on that portion of their site.

935
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:56,440
 So that has been relocated

936
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,600
 to the eastern portion of their site,

937
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,760
 and they've also provided additional landscaping

938
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,800
 in the parking area and the entrance.

939
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:07,280
 This request does meet the criteria for approval

940
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:08,600
 of the Denton Development Code.

941
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:10,880
 It's consistent with the 2040 comprehensive plan

942
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:12,080
 and the future land use map,

943
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,640
 as well as the LI zoning district purpose statement.

944
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,480
 And we do not expect significant adverse

945
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:19,200
 financial infrastructure impacts from this project.

946
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:22,360
 We did do public outreach.

947
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:23,840
 An ad was posted in the newspaper,

948
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:25,600
 a sign was posted on the property.

949
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,200
 We've mailed notices to everyone within 500 feet,

950
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,120
 and we did not receive any responses

951
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:31,800
 in opposition or in favor.

952
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:35,240
 Staff does recommend approval of the SUP

953
00:52:35,240 --> 00:52:36,800
 with the following conditions.

954
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,560
 Many of these conditions are typical SUP conditions,

955
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:41,720
 and these are the same conditions that were in your backup,

956
00:52:41,720 --> 00:52:43,520
 so I won't read all of these to you.

957
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:45,040
 I will go through some of the conditions

958
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:46,840
 that are specific to this site.

959
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:48,880
 They will need to obtain an encroachment agreement

960
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:50,680
 for the encroachments into those easements

961
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:52,160
 along the west property line

962
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,600
 before approval of their civil engineering plans.

963
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,720
 The improvements in the TxDOT roadway

964
00:52:57,720 --> 00:52:59,920
 will also require approval by TxDOT.

965
00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:03,080
 So any minor alterations required by TxDOT

966
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,160
 to the proposed driveway along 380

967
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,600
 or to relocate the parking spaces

968
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,120
 impacted by any driveway relocation

969
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:12,320
 or modifying the median opening and turn lanes

970
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,080
 can be approved by city staff.

971
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:15,800
 Any other changes to the site access

972
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:17,480
 would require a SUP amendment.

973
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,400
 Lastly, construction of the pavement

974
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,520
 within the cross-access easement is required

975
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,960
 when the adjacent property to the east develops.

976
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,920
 Happy to answer any questions,

977
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,920
 and the applicant is also here with the presentation.

978
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:32,200
 - Thank you, Ashley.

979
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,960
 I don't see anything at this time, so appreciate it.

980
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,240
 Applicant did put in a card to speak,

981
00:53:38,240 --> 00:53:40,560
 so I'll go ahead and invite Amy Bissett up

982
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:42,560
 to give us a presentation.

983
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,600
 Just name and address and then your time will start.

984
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:45,600
 - Good evening, commissioners.

985
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:49,600
 Amy Bissett, 109 North Elm, Denton 76201.

986
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:51,160
 I have a few slides,

987
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:55,640
 but I don't necessarily think that we need to present them.

988
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,960
 It would be kind of a repeat of what Ashley outlined,

989
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:00,840
 unless you have specific questions.

990
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,400
 I do want to point out that I have Chris Schmitz here

991
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,160
 with RDO, and I have Mac Mackey here

992
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:07,520
 with Kim Lee Horne, our engineer,

993
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:09,680
 in case you have any questions for either of them.

994
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,800
 And Chris, do you want to come up and say anything, or?

995
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:14,320
 Okay, he says hi.

996
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:15,160
 - Hi.

997
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:19,440
 Do we have any questions for the applicant or engineer?

998
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:21,080
 Okay, I'll see you, Amy.

999
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,120
 Thank you, appreciate it.

1000
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:24,040
 This is a public hearing.

1001
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:26,360
 I don't have any other cards wishing to speak,

1002
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:30,180
 but you do have the right to do so.

1003
00:54:30,180 --> 00:54:32,720
 Okay, seeing none, I'll go ahead and close public hearing.

1004
00:54:32,720 --> 00:54:36,520
 Move to the dais for a motion or discussion.

1005
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:38,000
 Commissioner Pruitt.

1006
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,920
 - I'll move approval and just want to thank the applicant

1007
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:42,760
 and the engineering efforts

1008
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:46,440
 to try to keep the street trees within 50 feet of the street,

1009
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:49,800
 even though TechStop prefers wayward cars

1010
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,600
 to smash through sidewalks before it gets to the trees.

1011
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:54,180
 Thank you.

1012
00:54:54,180 --> 00:54:55,020
 - Commissioner Cole.

1013
00:54:55,020 --> 00:54:55,860
 - Second.

1014
00:54:55,860 --> 00:55:00,160
 - The first and a second, and some good jokes in between.

1015
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:01,760
 Any other discussion?

1016
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:05,560
 Okay, let's go ahead and take a vote to the board.

1017
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:15,540
 That motion passes five, zero.

1018
00:55:15,540 --> 00:55:18,960
 Okay, moving on to item number five,

1019
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:20,880
 planning a zoning commission project matrix.

1020
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,120
 So Ms. Tina Fergens, take it away.

1021
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:24,200
 - Thank you, Chair.

1022
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,520
 So several items to bring to your attention.

1023
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:29,120
 So first of all, in case you missed it,

1024
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,760
 Keisha Seriano is in our audience this evening.

1025
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,200
 So Keisha is our new assistant planning director

1026
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:35,840
 of our comprehensive planning team.

1027
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:37,680
 So she's gonna be really busy

1028
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:39,400
 once we especially get these area plans done

1029
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,000
 and we can start working on implementation

1030
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,400
 in addition to helping us with implementation

1031
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:44,440
 of our comprehensive plan.

1032
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,280
 So excited to have her join us.

1033
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:50,860
 In terms of updates since the last city council meeting,

1034
00:55:50,860 --> 00:55:52,760
 so a couple of items to make note.

1035
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:54,760
 If you recall, Julie had worked on

1036
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:56,940
 a Denton Development Code amendment

1037
00:55:56,940 --> 00:56:00,920
 to establish a land occupancy permit requirement.

1038
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:02,840
 So that was approved by council.

1039
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:06,080
 And then also Angie here recently had a rezoning

1040
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,600
 of approximately a 1.3 acre track

1041
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,200
 that's located over near Bonnie Bray and Riney Road.

1042
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,240
 If you recall that property was zoned

1043
00:56:13,240 --> 00:56:15,980
 from the public facilities district

1044
00:56:15,980 --> 00:56:18,840
 to our R7 zoning district, so that was approved.

1045
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,920
 In terms of the matrix itself,

1046
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,600
 if you looked at it closely,

1047
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:26,920
 you will see that I programmed some dates in here

1048
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:28,000
 with Haley's assistance.

1049
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,920
 So we added a couple of things.

1050
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:33,320
 One is on the discussion related to impacts

1051
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,000
 of subdividing the commercial lots

1052
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,400
 and the potential for tree preservation loss.

1053
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,600
 We are hoping to bring that to you in June.

1054
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:41,320
 So you'll receive that presentation.

1055
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:43,360
 But before that, in May,

1056
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,280
 we have planned to bring you a presentation

1057
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,800
 related to the requirements for neighborhood amenities

1058
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:51,360
 and particularly the mountain triggers for required parking.

1059
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:53,480
 If you recall, this was a request

1060
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:54,960
 that kind of came about associated with

1061
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:59,520
 the St. Mark's zoning case that we had off of Crawford Road.

1062
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:01,600
 Also, we are proposing to bring forth

1063
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:03,760
 in a work session to you this summer,

1064
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:06,000
 a PNZ reconsideration process.

1065
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:09,320
 Commissioner Villarreal probably recalls this,

1066
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,440
 but in particular, we ran into some timing issues

1067
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,760
 associated with a request for PNZ reconsideration.

1068
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:17,400
 An item had already been scheduled

1069
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:20,360
 for council's consideration and published on their agenda.

1070
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,480
 And our ordinance is silent with respect

1071
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:24,760
 to how the PNZ reconsideration process

1072
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:25,600
 needs to play out.

1073
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:27,920
 We typically follow council's rules and procedure.

1074
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,120
 So we're gonna propose to make some ordinance amendments

1075
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:31,480
 to make it a little bit more specific

1076
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:33,360
 and germane to the Planning and Zoning Commission.

1077
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:36,640
 And so we'll bring that to you this summer with that.

1078
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,000
 And then the last edit I made to the matrix

1079
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:42,520
 is with respect to our annual comprehensive plan update.

1080
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:43,360
 I think Commissioner Smith,

1081
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:45,440
 this was something that you had requested

1082
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,040
 a couple of years ago when we adopted the comp plan.

1083
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:51,280
 And so Julie's anticipating bringing forth

1084
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,160
 a presentation to the commission in June

1085
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:54,920
 to provide an update.

1086
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,360
 And also with that, we are working

1087
00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:59,760
 with our Chief Strategic Officer

1088
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:01,720
 with a software tool that we have

1089
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:03,520
 that allows to basically publish a dashboard

1090
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:04,880
 and for folks to be able to see

1091
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:06,160
 where we are on certain items.

1092
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:07,680
 So that'll be part of that.

1093
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:09,880
 And have to wait on a certain annual update,

1094
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,520
 but we'll continue to have that information made available.

1095
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,520
 But we'll bring that to you this summer.

1096
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:18,120
 Couple of events to make note of.

1097
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:21,000
 So our design downtown debt and plan,

1098
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:22,960
 we have our feedback finale event

1099
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:26,200
 that is planned for May 9th at 5.30.

1100
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:29,120
 This will be at the Greater Denton Arts Council

1101
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,520
 at the Patterson Appleton Center.

1102
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:34,720
 Which I got, GDAC at the pack is how I was told.

1103
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,680
 So anyway, so we have that event coming up

1104
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,080
 that will really focus on interested

1105
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:41,480
 in receiving the community's feedback.

1106
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:44,040
 You all are welcome to attend as well.

1107
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:47,160
 But in particular, as it relates to investments

1108
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,020
 that the city can make in downtown,

1109
00:58:49,020 --> 00:58:52,080
 requesting the community's assistance

1110
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,880
 with helping us prioritize where they think

1111
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,600
 that the city should focus its efforts on

1112
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:00,160
 as it relates to that particular area plan project.

1113
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,500
 Last week on Wednesday,

1114
00:59:02,500 --> 00:59:05,600
 we had the Quaker Town design blitz event.

1115
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,760
 And so the feedback that we received at that event,

1116
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,280
 we will use that on further developing the concept plans

1117
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:12,300
 for Quaker Town Park,

1118
00:59:12,300 --> 00:59:14,720
 which are also part of this design downtown debt and plan.

1119
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,560
 So we appreciate the folks that participated

1120
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:20,600
 in that particular engagement event we had.

1121
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:22,640
 As it relates to Southeast,

1122
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:24,200
 I know it's been a little quiet on that front

1123
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:26,760
 since we had our last update meeting.

1124
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,640
 We are working on the implementation action items right now,

1125
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:31,400
 especially with our consultant team.

1126
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:33,680
 And so we anticipate probably mid-June,

1127
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:35,000
 we will come into you

1128
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:36,640
 with a work session discussion on that.

1129
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:38,520
 And I know that was something that the commission

1130
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,680
 had requested when we did our joint meeting

1131
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:42,720
 with council on that.

1132
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:46,800
 And then let's see, short-term rentals.

1133
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:50,520
 So we continue to be kind of in a holding pattern

1134
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,560
 on that since the Planning and Zoning Commission

1135
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:54,400
 recommended approval of the ordinance.

1136
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:56,360
 That is actually slated for June 7th,

1137
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:57,960
 city council consideration.

1138
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:01,720
 So during this time, we have a town hall meeting

1139
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:03,960
 that we will be doing to help educate the community

1140
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,880
 about the requirements that are included

1141
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:08,600
 within our proposed ordinance amendment

1142
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:10,360
 that we'll be taking to council.

1143
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:12,240
 I think there's a little bit of confusion by some

1144
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:13,800
 that with a thousand permit cap

1145
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,360
 that we're actually inviting a thousand short-term rentals

1146
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:18,320
 to come into our community and that is not the case.

1147
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:20,160
 We have no limitations on them right now

1148
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:21,640
 in terms of the number that can operate

1149
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:23,240
 as you're well aware of.

1150
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:26,680
 So wanting to do a town hall, we'll do that on May 23rd.

1151
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:29,600
 But really our plan is to try and help address

1152
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,640
 any questions that the community may have on that front.

1153
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:36,160
 And lastly, Cameron asked that I bring to your attention.

1154
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:38,760
 So we have our Denton revealed series of events

1155
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:39,720
 during the month of May

1156
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:41,640
 to highlight historic preservation month.

1157
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,400
 So you can find out more information on our website.

1158
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:47,320
 I know if you follow Preserve Denton on Instagram,

1159
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:48,800
 Cameron, it makes regular posts,

1160
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:50,760
 especially regarding the various events

1161
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:53,120
 that are planned throughout the month of May.

1162
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:55,280
 And we do this in tandem with Denton County as well.

1163
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,800
 So if your time schedule permits,

1164
01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:59,480
 I know we'd welcome having your attendance

1165
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:00,840
 at some of those events.

1166
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:02,680
 And with that, that concludes my remarks.

1167
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:03,520
 Thank you.

1168
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:04,360
 - Thank you, Tina.

1169
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,520
 Any items to add to the matrix at this time?

1170
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,800
 Okay.

1171
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:12,680
 Seeing no, move on to item number six,

1172
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:14,560
 concluding items, any concluding items,

1173
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:16,040
 anything they want to add in there?

1174
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:17,160
 Commissioner Villarreal.

1175
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:18,720
 - Just wanna let folks know early voting

1176
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:19,600
 is happening now.

1177
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:23,560
 You can vote tomorrow through next Tuesday, the 30th,

1178
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:24,640
 anywhere in Denton County.

1179
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,800
 And then election day is May 4th,

1180
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:28,960
 which is a week from Saturday.

1181
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:29,800
 - Great.

1182
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:31,880
