1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:18,680
 I will call the meeting to order and we will jump into our work session items.

2
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:24,680
 The first item is work session reports and then we will come back to the agenda items

3
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,000
 for clarification and a work through of those.

4
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:35,120
 To begin our first work session report is item 3A DCA 20-0001C and this is to hold a

5
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:40,320
 report discussion about the process of Ditten's Development Code.

6
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:41,320
 Thank you Chair.

7
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,200
 Raman Ghida, Principal of Planning with Development Services.

8
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:51,440
 Let me pull up my presentation real quick.

9
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:59,520
 Okay, hopefully you all can see my presentation.

10
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:06,240
 This is again regarding the Ditten Development Code amendment process.

11
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:11,200
 For the brief presentation, just wanted to go over a history of the DDC update or our

12
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:16,480
 DDC amendments, what we're proposing in certain categories, discuss a little bit about the

13
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:21,680
 development code review committee and then also lastly talk about the schedule of how

14
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,920
 we want to accomplish this or when we want to accomplish all of this.

15
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:33,400
 So by way of history, as you all know, the DDC update was adopted in April of 2019, zoning

16
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:40,360
 map transition chart was also considered and approved on September 17, 2019.

17
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,560
 The code itself became effective on October 1st of last year.

18
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:49,040
 We're approaching our one year anniversary and part of that one year anniversary is start

19
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:55,180
 to look at the development code, how we can provide further clarity, align the processes

20
00:01:55,180 --> 00:02:00,000
 that we've implemented and then start with the code amendments.

21
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,600
 All of this will also involve the DCRC, the Development Code Review Committee.

22
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:11,640
 It worked well when we were updating the development code and we hope that the same group can offer

23
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:17,080
 the same guidance and a review as they did in the past.

24
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,560
 This is just a quick slide to, again, why are we doing the amendments now?

25
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:27,760
 Obviously, there were some nonconformities that were created due to the adoption of 2019

26
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:28,760
 development code.

27
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,920
 We hope to continue to address those.

28
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:37,600
 Again, there were also some state bills that were passed, specifically House Bill 3167

29
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:44,720
 and other bills, we want to make sure that our code is in line with those provisions.

30
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,440
 Then we continue to improve our development review process and we want to make sure that

31
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:55,000
 our code is in line with that and anything that we can codify to make it clear for our

32
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,060
 applicants, for our commissioners, for our council.

33
00:02:57,060 --> 00:03:00,440
 We want to do that as part of these development code amendments as well.

34
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,360
 Lastly, we continue to hear feedback from our general public, the development community

35
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,480
 and other boards and commissions on certain things that we can improve and so we are also

36
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:16,480
 looking into some of those suggestions and recommendations.

37
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:22,480
 Here are the four categories that we've identified for the DVC updates, amendments that is.

38
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,400
 We have priority changes.

39
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:32,160
 We also have substantive changes, which are basically recommendations that we are seeking

40
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,880
 clarification and/or direction from our development code review committee.

41
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,360
 We will be bringing that forward, hopefully, in the next month or two.

42
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,120
 Criteria manual transfers.

43
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,800
 These are transfers that are currently in our criteria manual that we want to include

44
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,440
 in our development code.

45
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:57,080
 It just gives it a little bit more, I guess, certainty or legalness to some of the criteria

46
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,760
 that we're asking for.

47
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:05,480
 And then last is the non-substantive changes, which are just minor typos or corrections

48
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:12,120
 that just were inadvertently done as part of the DVC update back in 2019.

49
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,840
 I skipped real quickly on priority changes.

50
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,980
 These are ones that we feel that need to happen sooner than later and so we've put together

51
00:04:19,980 --> 00:04:23,480
 a list of these code amendments and we're hoping to take this forward.

52
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:29,000
 In fact, we did talk a little bit about some of them at council yesterday evening regarding

53
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,880
 some of those priority changes.

54
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:38,160
 So here are what we feel are the priorities.

55
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,680
 One that you'll hear tonight is the tattoo and piercing parlor that is on the agenda

56
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,600
 for public hearing.

57
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,220
 Some of the other things that we'll be bringing forward as part of our priority change topics

58
00:04:49,220 --> 00:04:54,320
 is the development contracts and then subchapter two, which is our administrative and procedure

59
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,400
 section of the development code.

60
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,080
 There are some things there that we want to improve on.

61
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:06,600
 And so again, as we align with 3167, as we look at how we transfer or we transition from

62
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:14,360
 the 2002 code to the 2019 code, how we can do better in regards to administration and

63
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:15,360
 procedures.

64
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,360
 Commissioner Beck.

65
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,360
 Thank you, Chair.

66
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:23,760
 Ron, just while you're on this slide, this was brought up in council last night and I'm

67
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,380
 going to reiterate it here.

68
00:05:27,380 --> 00:05:35,880
 I understand that we need to be in line with 3167, but why hard code that into our DDC,

69
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:46,480
 especially if the winds of political change ... This is a law that's unpopular in some

70
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:51,860
 camps and there's political will to adjust this law.

71
00:05:51,860 --> 00:05:58,640
 And so why hard code our DDC to match that if then we're going to have to un-hard code

72
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,920
 change it in a year or two?

73
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:07,700
 Just a quick answer to that, Commissioner Beck, is just so that we're able to provide

74
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:14,040
 that information clearly and concise with our development community as well as the general

75
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,040
 public.

76
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,640
 It's part of our Texas local government code, but a lot of our development community or

77
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,400
 general public are more, I guess, familiar with the DDC.

78
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,720
 So that's part of the reason why we want to make sure it's in the DDC and it's clear.

79
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:29,720
 All right.

80
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:35,260
 I just caution against over-alignment unless you're sure that this law is going to be ...

81
00:06:35,260 --> 00:06:36,760
 Got it.

82
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:37,760
 Yeah.

83
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:38,760
 Anyway, thank you, Ron.

84
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:39,760
 I appreciate it.

85
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:40,760
 Okay.

86
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:49,000
 Commissioner Burnetta?

87
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,280
 Is there a way to do it or is this already kind of cooked into it kind of to Commissioner

88
00:06:52,280 --> 00:07:02,680
 Beck's point where should this law get overturned where basically the adherence to those specific

89
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:10,100
 things automatically falls off or would we have to revisit this at that time?

90
00:07:10,100 --> 00:07:14,180
 I think as we introduce it into the DDC, it follows a process.

91
00:07:14,180 --> 00:07:20,480
 We will have to do the same to remove it if that is the situation in the years that follow.

92
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:28,720
 So we would have to come back to PNZ and City Council.

93
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,720
 Okay.

94
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:42,440
 So this is, again, our list of priority change topics.

95
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,960
 And then here are our list of substantive changes.

96
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,360
 As you can see, there's a lot on this slide.

97
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,920
 I'm not going to go through all of them.

98
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:55,920
 During our discussion with the Pre-Use DCRC, we did talk about those that are highlighted

99
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,300
 or numbered one through three.

100
00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:00,220
 We did a lot of work there.

101
00:08:00,220 --> 00:08:04,180
 We hope to just bring that forward, and it's probably more or less a recap.

102
00:08:04,180 --> 00:08:08,560
 But there are other items that are topics that we want to bring forward to the DCRC,

103
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,800
 and this will probably be the majority of them as, again, they relate to the four items

104
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,880
 that we already discussed as to why we're taking forward these code amendments.

105
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,560
 The criteria manual transfer are essentially what it says.

106
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:29,600
 We're looking at our criteria manuals, stormwater, wastewater, transportation, as well as solid

107
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:36,580
 waste and introducing electric, and I missed the transportation criteria manual as well.

108
00:08:36,580 --> 00:08:41,720
 There are items in those criteria manuals that are better suited in the DCRC, so we

109
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,720
 hope to transfer those over to the DCRC, and we will still have those criteria manuals,

110
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:54,540
 but they will not include some of the ones that, again, will be added to the actual development

111
00:08:54,540 --> 00:08:55,540
 code.

112
00:08:55,540 --> 00:09:03,120
 The last of the categories is the non-substantive changes, again, the typos, the corrections,

113
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,200
 and other ones that we identify as we go through this process.

114
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:13,240
 We have a list, and actually this list here is actually the largest number of changes

115
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:19,120
 that we have identified, just because as you go through the new code, you just find things

116
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:25,180
 that were inadvertently done or just need further clarity.

117
00:09:25,180 --> 00:09:30,080
 As far as schedule, we have an ambitious schedule for these code amendments.

118
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,480
 We hope to have a majority of them by the end of the year.

119
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:38,800
 It may be where we will be looking at some of these after the first of the year, but

120
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,080
 our hope is that we can get started as soon as possible.

121
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:48,680
 In fact, yesterday, October 6th, the City Council adopted a resolution to reestablish

122
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:55,280
 the DCRC, and this is an item in our agenda tonight for the Planning Zoning Commission

123
00:09:55,280 --> 00:10:00,520
 to nominate and select a third member of the DCRC.

124
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:05,280
 Once we have that identified or that person identified, selected, we will start again

125
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:13,280
 with meetings with the DCRC, and all of those would be done after, obviously, we identify

126
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,660
 that Planning Zoning Commission member.

127
00:10:16,660 --> 00:10:17,840
 That concludes my presentation.

128
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:23,640
 I just wanted to provide you all with an overview of our process and how we're going to be handling

129
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,240
 the DVC updates amendments in our timeline moving forward.

130
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,720
 I'll be happy to stand for any questions.

131
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,200
 >> Are there any questions?

132
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,280
 Thank you, Ron, for the presentation.

133
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:38,680
 I do not see any.

134
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:39,680
 >> Okay.

135
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:46,680
 >> The next agenda is another work session report, I believe also by Ron, item 3B, PZ20-225.

136
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:53,800
 Since we had an earlier call, I'm kind of thinking of ballparking a 5 o'clock break

137
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,040
 just for everyone to take a breather and reconvene, so you'll have it on your radar here in an

138
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,040
 hour and a half or so.

139
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,280
 We can just have a planned break.

140
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,600
 So, with that said, Ron, are you ready for item 3B?

141
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,840
 >> Yes, yes.

142
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:13,600
 Chair, members of the commission, I had planned on presenting this item as you have seen in

143
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:19,760
 your backup, but because of our discussion with city council yesterday, there were some

144
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:25,240
 comments and suggestions, good suggestions that we want to spend more time on.

145
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,720
 I am requesting that we move this item to a later date.

146
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:37,040
 We'll bring this back when we have a little bit more, I guess, complete presentation for

147
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,480
 you all to discuss.

148
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:43,280
 So we will not be discussing or presenting this item today, but we will bring this back

149
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,320
 at a later time.

150
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,120
 >> Great.

151
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,720
 Any questions about the work session 3B, bravo?

152
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,440
 All right.

153
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,320
 Thank you, Ron, for being here and reporting out on that.

154
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:03,320
 Before we dive into the actual agenda, I just wanted to consult real fast with Richard,

155
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,320
 is there any clarification?

156
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,580
 I know there's a flurry of activity through email and maybe some changes and recommendations

157
00:12:08,580 --> 00:12:14,580
 we'll go over, but any last minute changes to the agenda for the evening?

158
00:12:14,580 --> 00:12:18,000
 >> Sorry, nothing additional.

159
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,000
 >> Okay.

160
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,000
 Great.

161
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,000
 Then let's just hop right into it.

162
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,960
 The first item of business is 2A, the minutes.

163
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,840
 Is there any discussion or changes that need to be recorded for the minutes?

164
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:30,840
 Okay.

165
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,480
 Next item of business, we move into the consent agenda.

166
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:42,280
 We have several items here, A through E. Happy to look at any of these, if anyone wants these

167
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,280
 pulled.

168
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,280
 Kirsten or Beck?

169
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,560
 >> I just have -- I don't need full -- thank you, Chair.

170
00:12:47,560 --> 00:12:52,600
 I don't need full presentations, but I have a couple questions on B, C, and E.

171
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,640
 >> Great.

172
00:12:54,640 --> 00:13:01,360
 Let's start with three different people, so let's start with Ron, if he's already there.

173
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:12,960
 This is going to be item 3B, PP20-0015B.

174
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,160
 And Commissioner Beck, you have the floor.

175
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,160
 >> Okay.

176
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,160
 Thank you, Chair.

177
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:23,760
 So Ron, what -- what -- what DDC is this under?

178
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:29,920
 >> Ron, you're muted.

179
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:30,920
 >> Thank you.

180
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:31,920
 Sorry.

181
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:36,920
 Sorry about that.

182
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:42,520
 This is the jury track, so this is under the 2019 DDC.

183
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:43,960
 >> And -- okay.

184
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:50,320
 So then that would mean it's the 20% tree preservation requirement?

185
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,320
 Okay.

186
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,720
 >> 30, I believe.

187
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:54,720
 >> It is the new one?

188
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,320
 >> It's the 2019, yes, sir.

189
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:57,320
 >> Okay.

190
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,320
 Okay.

191
00:13:58,320 --> 00:13:59,320
 So it's the 30%.

192
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:05,520
 I mean, that -- that preliminary plat for those houses in the southwest corner, I -- I'm

193
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:11,680
 just at a loss to see how you preserve 30% of -- I'm sorry for the bells and clicks.

194
00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:16,240
 I mean, let me mute a few things.

195
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:21,340
 How you -- that southwest track preserves 30% of the trees?

196
00:14:21,340 --> 00:14:23,920
 How was that determined?

197
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,040
 >> Tree survey, and one of the things that they do is a tree inventory, and based on

198
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:33,880
 that inventory, the amount of DBH is calculated for the total, and whatever that total is,

199
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,960
 you obviously identify the 30% number?

200
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,400
 >> So yeah, I don't mean to interrupt.

201
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:46,840
 I apologize for that, but if -- are they -- so the -- I understand the code is that it's

202
00:14:46,840 --> 00:15:00,280
 mitigation of -- of 30%, whether that's purchasing of -- or paying a fee for DBH or preserving

203
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,080
 actual trees of DBH.

204
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:08,960
 So can you enlighten me whether they're -- they're doing more purchasing or more preserving?

205
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:16,080
 >> My understanding is that they're meeting the minimum requirement of 30%, and therefore

206
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,960
 they meet the code.

207
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:24,480
 Anything as far as any mitigation that's required comes out of whatever differences,

208
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:29,520
 and my understanding is I don't have it in front of me, and I can happily pull this up

209
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:35,720
 for the -- for the amount of mitigation, if any, that they're required to pay or replant

210
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:36,720
 onsite.

211
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:37,720
 >> Yeah.

212
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:38,720
 Okay.

213
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:43,120
 Yeah, I'd be curious to know if you could get back to me on that, and then my last question

214
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:49,240
 on this one is that gap, if you look at that -- you've got it up there on the plenary plat.

215
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,600
 There's a gap between C7 and C8.

216
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,280
 Do we know what's going on in that gap?

217
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,280
 Yeah, right there.

218
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,280
 You've highlighted it.

219
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:58,280
 >> Yes, yes.

220
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,960
 I think from what I'm looking at, the aerial, that may be part of the tree preservation

221
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:02,960
 requirement.

222
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:03,960
 >> Okay.

223
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:04,960
 All right.

224
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,600
 That's all my questions on this.

225
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:07,600
 Thank you, Ron.

226
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:08,600
 >> Okay.

227
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:09,600
 >> Great.

228
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:10,600
 Thanks, Ron.

229
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:11,600
 Does anyone else -- yeah, Commissioner Ellis.

230
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:12,600
 >> Thank you, Chair.

231
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:18,320
 Well, I had posted an email to you with regard to the asterisks on those couple of lots.

232
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,800
 Did you ever get clarity on that?

233
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:20,800
 >> I did.

234
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:21,800
 I did.

235
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,960
 And Haley was able to help me out with this.

236
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,880
 Because there are only three, it's noted on the plat.

237
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:32,080
 A lot of times, those asterisks are put on if there are multiple, you know, more than,

238
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,240
 I guess, three or more than that can be noted.

239
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:41,120
 That's something that is not necessarily in our code as far as asterisks, but as long as

240
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:48,040
 they identified the lot and identified that it is part of an area that could be impacted

241
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:54,680
 by the gas well, and they've done that through the note.

242
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,080
 >> And I appreciate that explanation of how you came about that.

243
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:03,040
 I like consistency, so I would love to see a stick with asterisks with regard to gas

244
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,680
 well stuff, but I understand your determination.

245
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:07,680
 Thank you.

246
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:08,680
 >> You're welcome.

247
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:14,200
 >> Any other questions for Ron on item 3B?

248
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,840
 Great.

249
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:17,840
 Thank you.

250
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:29,440
 Next, can I invite Carina Maldonado to stand for questions on item 3C, FP20-0020.

251
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:30,440
 >> I'm here.

252
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:31,440
 Can you hear me?

253
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,440
 >> We can.

254
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:33,440
 >> Okay.

255
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,680
 Carina Maldonado, assistant planner, and I'm here for any questions.

256
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:38,680
 We're back.

257
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,240
 I believe you had a question.

258
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,240
 >> Yes.

259
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,240
 Thank you, Chair.

260
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:49,040
 So there were concerns before this, when this was brought before us, about the drainage.

261
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:59,040
 Can you just enlighten us about the changes that they implemented in the previous versus

262
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,280
 this one so that we can understand what they updated?

263
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,560
 And then secondarily, before you get going, I'll lead into the second question.

264
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,960
 Same one I asked Ron.

265
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,200
 Which tree preservation rules are in place on this?

266
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,200
 >> Sure.

267
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:22,280
 So for the drainage item on the eastern side of the site, between the preliminary plat

268
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:29,200
 and this plat, they were working through their drainage and how to appropriately address

269
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,960
 offsite easements for it.

270
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,800
 And so the difference between this one and now is they were just trying to make sure

271
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:40,840
 that there was an approachment into the ESA floodplain area, that there was no negative

272
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:49,840
 impact, and then just obtaining the offsite rights for drainage into the property to the

273
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:56,680
 east, which was from the previous owner, so he was okay with it.

274
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:03,160
 And then the tree preservation plan is under the 2019 DDC for this item.

275
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:04,160
 >> Okay.

276
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,160
 Thank you.

277
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:16,360
 On the drainage, I know that -- let me get my notes here, I apologize.

278
00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:25,720
 Do we -- so does that property of the east count -- I mean, it counts as an ESA.

279
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,080
 Is that correct?

280
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,480
 >> There is some ESA on the eastern side.

281
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,720
 It doesn't encroach into the actual property boundaries.

282
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,360
 >> Okay.

283
00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:51,280
 And so the sort of section 735 and 751 issues of drainage and construction drainage, that's

284
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:59,000
 not in play for developing impervious surfaces and then draining into that east of the east?

285
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,760
 I mean, that's being mitigated, can you help me -- what are they doing for the mitigation

286
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,960
 if it is being mitigated?

287
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:11,160
 >> I do not have an answer for that right now, but I can look into it.

288
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:16,200
 I'm not familiar with the citations off the top of my head.

289
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,560
 I'll have to look into it before we get to the regular session.

290
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,920
 I just know that from the engineering standpoint, they meet all the minimum requirements in

291
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,680
 order for this to be recommended approval.

292
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:31,760
 >> Yeah, I was with Ron and I would appreciate it if you could get back to me on that one.

293
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:32,760
 >> Thank you.

294
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:38,000
 >> I'm sorry, I didn't catch you.

295
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,480
 >> Oh, I'm sorry.

296
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:44,560
 No, as I said with Ron, if you could get back to me and let me know about the drainage,

297
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:45,560
 I'd appreciate it.

298
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:46,560
 Thank you.

299
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,960
 >> Did you provide me with the citations that you just had a while ago?

300
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:56,520
 >> It was just the -- I flipped away.

301
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:04,600
 It just -- the chapter 751 and 3 and then 735D relating to drainage and construction

302
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:11,200
 drainage, you know, soil creep into ESAs, impacts on adjacent ESAs and 741, that sort

303
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,200
 of thing.

304
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:13,200
 >> Okay.

305
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,960
 >> They may have covered it.

306
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:27,160
 I just would like to be more aware of that, if we could do that, please.

307
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,200
 >> Okay.

308
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:34,760
 >> Any other questions for Karina on item 3C?

309
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,600
 Karina, we did get one comment against this.

310
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:44,080
 Do you know about that or if they were articulated in any kind of reason?

311
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:49,440
 >> I -- let me pull it up, sorry, my mouse on my computer just happened to die right

312
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:50,440
 now.

313
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:51,440
 Let me --

314
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:52,440
 >> Tragic.

315
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:53,440
 >> I'm being timed.

316
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:58,440
 Give me one second.

317
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,600
 >> Take your time.

318
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:11,600
 >> It appears that the comment for this -- here we go.

319
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:18,680
 The comment states, please focus on the infrastructure of the city before you add more people.

320
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,880
 What is so hard to understand about that?

321
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:27,600
 Streets, sidewalks, schools, not to mention taking away green space.

322
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:32,760
 So I believe they're more concerned about making sure that, you know, the roadway infrastructure

323
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:39,760
 is in place and that we're not negatively impacting schools with additional students.

324
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:45,460
 In the case of the roadway improvements, we did have a zoning compliance plan that was

325
00:22:45,460 --> 00:22:52,240
 approved before we moved through with the preliminary plot process.

326
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:59,840
 And so roadway infrastructure, including sidewalks, was addressed and they do meet all the minimum

327
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:06,640
 requirements of our transportation criteria manual and the DDC.

328
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:19,780
 I'm not sure that we addressed schools particularly, but for this project, since it was -- it's

329
00:23:19,780 --> 00:23:25,440
 in the MN district, it's permitted by right.

330
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:30,600
 We typically look at that when it comes through and then green space, they are required to

331
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,600
 dedicate their open space.

332
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:38,200
 I'm not sure what I'm missing.

333
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,400
 The majority of these items were addressed during the zoning compliance plan.

334
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:47,040
 I don't know if I'm missing anything on this.

335
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:52,320
 No, I don't have any -- I think I appreciate the context of the comment.

336
00:23:52,320 --> 00:24:00,180
 That's all I was kind of looking for.

337
00:24:00,180 --> 00:24:02,920
 Is there any other questions for Karina on this item?

338
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:03,920
 Okay.

339
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:04,920
 Thank you.

340
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:12,840
 We're going to go ahead and move on to item 3D, as in Delta FP20-0021.

341
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:17,240
 And it looks like Haley is -- Wait, Chair, I misspoke.

342
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,600
 I asked for D and that was a mistake.

343
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:24,920
 I meant to ask for E. Oh, it looks like Julie was mind reading there.

344
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,800
 Yeah, let's go ahead and skip to item E while Julie's there.

345
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,480
 And if anyone has any questions for D, we can bring Haley up.

346
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:36,560
 But item E, FP20-00096 or 9C.

347
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,160
 It's all yours, Julie.

348
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:47,400
 Yeah, I misheard E. So if you have specific questions about that, I'll be happy to answer.

349
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:48,400
 Yes.

350
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:49,840
 Thank you, Chair.

351
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:56,600
 I just had -- like, I often do this, but could you highlight the changes, sometimes reading

352
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:03,920
 through the esoterica and trying to flip back and read the previous esoterica is challenging.

353
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,200
 I don't swim in it like you do, so if you could just highlight the changes.

354
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,200
 Sure.

355
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:14,720
 So a lot of the issues related to the previous plot that you saw were a lot of kind of cleanup

356
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:15,720
 items.

357
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:22,120
 So if you recall when you saw this in July, the first time, they had just submitted one

358
00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:26,620
 item, so staff had provided those broad comments for this final plot.

359
00:25:26,620 --> 00:25:34,320
 In the interim between when they asked for that extension for that first submittal and

360
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,680
 that denial of the plot, there were actually some changes to the plan.

361
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,160
 And if you recall, there was an ADP that Karina brought forward to you.

362
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:47,720
 I don't know if it was the last meeting or -- so the building mix changed and just some

363
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,340
 of those elements to the development.

364
00:25:50,340 --> 00:25:53,400
 So not a lot changed on this plot.

365
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:59,720
 They still have that access easement here, dedicating right of way along Teasley.

366
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,920
 There is some FEMA floodplain back here.

367
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,560
 They are going to be adding a little bit of fill, so there is a note that they're going

368
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:11,920
 to have to do that LOMRF, which is consistent with FEMA and city requirements.

369
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,720
 So that's really -- and they have gone through and gotten their text-up permit, so they've

370
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:20,520
 really kind of worked through just those checklist items that were required that they just weren't

371
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:21,960
 ready for in July.

372
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:22,960
 Okay.

373
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:23,960
 Thank you, Julie.

374
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:24,960
 I appreciate it.

375
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:25,960
 You bet.

376
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,600
 Any other questions for Julie on item 3E?

377
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,360
 Great.

378
00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:32,360
 Thank you, Julie.

379
00:26:32,360 --> 00:26:37,640
 And before we move on to the individual considerations, is there any items or questions on item 3A

380
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:38,640
 or 3D?

381
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:45,360
 Those are the only ones we didn't call out specifically.

382
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:50,660
 Seeing none, we'll go ahead and move on to next items of business, which is our individual

383
00:26:50,660 --> 00:26:57,520
 considerations section, starting with 4A FP20-0019.

384
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:07,520
 This is marked by Mark Laird, but is he on the phone or is Ron presenting?

385
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:08,520
 Mark should be on.

386
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:09,520
 Good afternoon.

387
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,280
 This is Mark Laird.

388
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:12,880
 Can you read me?

389
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:13,880
 We can.

390
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:14,880
 Awesome.

391
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:21,680
 This evening, well, this afternoon, I have for your consideration the approval of Cambridge

392
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:22,680
 Brook addition.

393
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,520
 It's a 102 residential lot in Fort Common area development.

394
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:35,880
 It's located south of Vinnage Boulevard along the west boundary line of Bonnie Bray.

395
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:41,400
 And staff recommends approval of this plot, and I stand for any questions you may have.

396
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,680
 So any questions for Mark on this item?

397
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,080
 Christopher Beck.

398
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,440
 So two things.

399
00:27:52,440 --> 00:28:00,800
 My first question is, can you clarify, since we had the original backup and then it changed

400
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:08,240
 in the email, can you clarify what was updated in the new emailed version?

401
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:15,320
 And then the second question is, I want to address the, could you clarify the financial

402
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:22,440
 impacts portion of the review?

403
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:30,400
 Yes, the plot when it came in, it had four, as it's mentioned, it has four common area

404
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:35,160
 lots that are owned by the homeowners association.

405
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:42,280
 And with that, our code requires that the homeowners association, the CCRs restrictions,

406
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,120
 fee restrictions for the property are submitted for review.

407
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:49,400
 And that review, it did not meet our standards.

408
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,120
 And so we made those comments.

409
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,700
 The advocate was able to address those comments prior to this meeting.

410
00:28:55,700 --> 00:29:03,680
 And so we changed our recommendation to approval.

411
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:10,200
 And I don't understand the question about the financial study.

412
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:18,080
 So for these kinds of things, let's see, this is the final plot.

413
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:38,040
 So I just was curious, I mean, it feels like we have this property didn't, I mean, I guess,

414
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:46,520
 can you, I'm kind of burbling here, but my question was, it wasn't very clear other than

415
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:51,460
 a statement on the matrix that you guys fulfill, that it doesn't meet, that it does or does

416
00:29:51,460 --> 00:29:58,240
 not meet, but it wasn't very clear on the criteria in which it was evaluated and how

417
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,200
 it was meeting financial impacts.

418
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,760
 And I would just like maybe a little more clarity on that.

419
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:13,600
 If I may now reach out to Richard for assistance on this.

420
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,960
 Yeah, I want to make sure I understand the question.

421
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,400
 Is it a criteria for?

422
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:26,580
 Yeah, isn't this 245E9?

423
00:30:26,580 --> 00:30:34,280
 And so my question was, basically, we dance around it all the time.

424
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,400
 What are the financial impacts on the infrastructure?

425
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:45,160
 I know that there is development costs associated with this, or impact fees rather.

426
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:52,960
 And so I know that those are coming back, but I would just like a little clarity on

427
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:59,240
 those impacts and how to assess 245E9.

428
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,880
 For planning, it's really not one that would be relevant.

429
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,480
 They're not asking for a change of anything.

430
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,440
 They're developing within what the zoning allows for.

431
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,680
 So they're meeting exactly what's on the zoning map.

432
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,080
 So they're not asking for anything additional that would change than what's already planned

433
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,080
 for the area.

434
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:23,600
 All right, thank you.

435
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:28,240
 Any other questions for Mark on this item?

436
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:33,160
 Okay, seeing none, we'll move on to the next item.

437
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,160
 Thank you, Mark, for the presentation.

438
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:40,240
 Next item is 4B, PE20-0001.

439
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:56,040
 And this item is Haley Zygursky's.

440
00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:18,480
 All right, good afternoon, commissioners, Haley Zygursky, senior planner.

441
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:23,720
 This request is for a plat extension related to the Audrepoint subdivision.

442
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,400
 You can see the location of the property outlined in yellow on the map.

443
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,360
 This is about 13.2 acres.

444
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,600
 It's located on both the east and the south side of Audre Lane.

445
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:38,920
 A preliminary plat was originally approved for this subdivision in October of 2018.

446
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:43,520
 It contained 53 residential lots and two common area lots.

447
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,720
 Some of you may remember this property also went through a rezoning shortly before that.

448
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,800
 So it was zoned in R6 with overlay conditions at the time.

449
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:56,760
 The preliminary plat was in conformance with that, which limited the uses of the property

450
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,840
 to single family with a maximum of 54 lots.

451
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:13,440
 This plat is set to expire on October 24th of this year.

452
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:14,440
 Sorry about that.

453
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,040
 I didn't realize the camera was off.

454
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:22,240
 So with that, the applicant has requested an extension to prolong the life of this preliminary

455
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:28,760
 plat to allow them to continue working through the civil engineering and final plat process.

456
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,680
 The code does require that a final plat be approved before the preliminary plat expires.

457
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,640
 So they're coming up on that deadline.

458
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,440
 In the interim two-year period here, they've been working with staff as well as the developers

459
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,600
 for the property to the north and the east of them to resolve some drainage issues that

460
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,520
 were fairly extensive along Audre Lane.

461
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,760
 There is a pipeline just down to the east of this property that they were trying to

462
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,320
 figure out how to get a storm drain to work around that pipeline.

463
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:58,700
 They found an alternative solution to that that would result in a kind of regional detention

464
00:33:58,700 --> 00:34:02,040
 facility on the eastern project.

465
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:06,000
 So while they've been working through that, it's caused some delays in their timeline

466
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,140
 for this.

467
00:34:07,140 --> 00:34:11,420
 In the recent months, though, they have reached a very close to approval on their civil engineering

468
00:34:11,420 --> 00:34:16,300
 plans and they have recently submitted their final plat, I believe just yesterday.

469
00:34:16,300 --> 00:34:21,080
 So they should have no problem meeting the completion of this project within the six-month

470
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,200
 extension that they've requested.

471
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,040
 And with that, staff is recommending approval of this request.

472
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,680
 We found that it meets the criteria and they have demonstrated continuing to work towards

473
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:31,680
 completion of this project.

474
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,560
 And I'm happy to answer any questions.

475
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,600
 It looks like we have one from Commissioner Smith.

476
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,200
 Thank you, Chair.

477
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:42,400
 Haley, just for my own notification, how does this work into the shot clock?

478
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:48,200
 So is shot clocks are on the approval of a preliminary plat, correct?

479
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:52,120
 Is that, am I understanding the law correctly there?

480
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:56,480
 That would relate specifically to the review time frame between the plat being submitted

481
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,480
 and getting to an approval.

482
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:03,300
 Once a project is approved, the Denton Development Code establishes a two-year time frame in

483
00:35:03,300 --> 00:35:08,400
 which they can then get through final plat completion before a preliminary plat would

484
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,760
 expire after it's approved by you all.

485
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,200
 And they've had two years now, and so within the DDC, we have the ability to extend it

486
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:15,600
 for six more months.

487
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:16,600
 Correct.

488
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:17,720
 You could extend for up to a year.

489
00:35:17,720 --> 00:35:19,600
 They specifically requested six months.

490
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:20,600
 Okay.

491
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:21,600
 All right.

492
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:22,600
 I was confused.

493
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,640
 It seemed like it was like the review and the language was in there, is trying to make

494
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,360
 sure I understood the basically how the shot clock law worked at the end.

495
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:30,360
 So just need a clarification.

496
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:31,360
 Thank you.

497
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:32,360
 You're welcome.

498
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:33,360
 Any other questions?

499
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:34,360
 Oh, Commissioner Ellis.

500
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,400
 Thank you, Chair.

501
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:42,960
 So is the drainage issue solved or are they actually still working through that?

502
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:47,960
 So they found a solution, like I said, they worked with the adjacent property owner to

503
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:52,320
 the east and they are going to jointly install a regional detention facility on a portion

504
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,400
 of that property that's going to be dedicated to the Parks Department, most likely.

505
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,360
 So that would resolve the need because they found that alternative path for the drainage

506
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,120
 to flow to that pond and avoid the pipeline issue.

507
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:04,120
 Okay.

508
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:05,120
 So they came to an agreement.

509
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,120
 Correct.

510
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:07,120
 They came to an agreement fully.

511
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,120
 Okay.

512
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:09,120
 Thank you.

513
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:10,120
 Commissioner Beck.

514
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:11,880
 So this just, thank you, Chair.

515
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,240
 This just occurred to me, Haley.

516
00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:24,400
 I know the answer is yes, but when we have these kinds of situations where we have drainage

517
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,400
 facilities, who is responsible, or I shouldn't say, I know it's just because it's not the

518
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:29,400
 right answer.

519
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:37,040
 Who is responsible for pest, mosquito, in particular, mitigation, when we create a private

520
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,920
 or public drainage pond?

521
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:44,320
 So typically a facility such as this would be, if it were on private property, it would

522
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,320
 be privately maintained.

523
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:50,720
 The city does have standards and enforcement for mosquito control issues.

524
00:36:50,720 --> 00:36:56,460
 In this instance, the property that it's on is intended to be dedicated to the Parks Department.

525
00:36:56,460 --> 00:37:00,160
 So that would become a kind of a city asset at that point, and the city would be responsible

526
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:06,120
 for mosquitoes and any other issues that may arise with the pond as we would with ponds

527
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,120
 and other city parks.

528
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,120
 All right.

529
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:09,120
 Thank you for that clarification.

530
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:10,120
 I appreciate it.

531
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,120
 Any other questions?

532
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:14,120
 Okay.

533
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:20,400
 Seeing none, we'll go ahead and move on to the next item.

534
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,040
 Thank you, Haley, for that.

535
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:27,800
 The next item is item 4C, FP20-0022.

536
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,760
 This is Carina Maldonado's item.

537
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:31,760
 Okay.

538
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:32,760
 I'm sorry.

539
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,760
 Give me one second.

540
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:52,560
 I'm back to my no-mouth situation.

541
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:56,480
 Okay.

542
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:03,800
 This is a final clap for Glenwood Meadows Edition.

543
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:13,520
 They are proposing 102 residential lots and three open-space lots.

544
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:21,600
 This was previously a recommended denial, but since the publishing of the packet and

545
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:30,080
 now we are now recommending approval of this item as they now meet the minimum requirements

546
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:34,320
 for approval.

547
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:35,320
 Let me backtrack a little.

548
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:45,400
 This is a 68.774-acre site located on the southeast side of the future Bonnie Bray,

549
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,400
 just north, 750 feet north of Vintage Boulevard.

550
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:57,200
 The differences between what we had in the denial and now are that the portion of the

551
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:05,160
 site to the east, which is that large open-space area, I believe it's Block D Lot 22X, they

552
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:10,320
 have now worked at the Parks Department to dedicate that lot to meet the park dedication

553
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:11,320
 requirement.

554
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:18,120
 Previously, that was dedicated as an open-space lot and so now Parks is working with them

555
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:24,240
 to meet their minimum park dedication requirements instead of payment in lieu of that.

556
00:39:24,240 --> 00:39:28,920
 The second item that's changed is we've now worked with them to meet their minimum tree

557
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:30,720
 preservation requirements.

558
00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:39,400
 This project is going in under the 2002 development code and so there was just a miscommunication

559
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,640
 with them through the application process.

560
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:47,360
 They were showing us an incorrect inventory, so we needed to clean that up.

561
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:52,600
 They have since addressed that and will not need to mitigate for trees on the site that

562
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,600
 are being removed.

563
00:39:54,600 --> 00:40:01,600
 And then just to add on top of that, they are planting 396 3-inch caliber trees to offset

564
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:07,560
 the removal that they are doing, but they do meet the minimum preservation requirements

565
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,760
 for quality and secondary trees.

566
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:16,360
 And then the last item that was previously denied but has now been addressed are the

567
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:22,240
 HOA documents that are required to be reviewed by the city attorney's office for both the

568
00:40:22,240 --> 00:40:26,560
 open-space lot and then the notification for gas flows.

569
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:33,160
 So all four of those items have now been addressed and so staff is now recommending approval.

570
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:37,840
 Commissioner Becker.

571
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:38,840
 Thank you, Chair.

572
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,560
 Carina, so help me on the notification.

573
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:47,460
 What does that mean for future homeowner purchasers?

574
00:40:47,460 --> 00:40:49,640
 What kind of notification are we talking about?

575
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:55,720
 So similar to the gas flow notification that indicates which locks are being affected,

576
00:40:55,720 --> 00:41:02,120
 there's a note on the plat, but the DDC also requires that they include that notification

577
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:03,760
 in the HOA document.

578
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:08,560
 So we were just making sure that that was included as well.

579
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:13,920
 The language is essentially the same language that's shown on the plat.

580
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:15,240
 Okay.

581
00:41:15,240 --> 00:41:22,500
 And that sort of flood out of, oh, I think this is Hickory Creek, right?

582
00:41:22,500 --> 00:41:26,080
 I forget my creek names.

583
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:37,080
 There's a little sort of flooded lake pond area, Oxbow Lake off the creek there.

584
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:48,000
 That extends the floodplain all the way up to pretty much the property lines of where

585
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,080
 they're shown on that plat.

586
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:59,400
 How is this meeting both the construction drainage criteria and the overall floodplain

587
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:06,240
 issues that, I mean, you have pretty much floodplain adjacent to fence lines.

588
00:42:06,240 --> 00:42:11,800
 I'll try to break down the question.

589
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:16,400
 There is floodplain that is kind of wrapping around the proposed residential lock.

590
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:23,240
 So you'll see the majority of the east side is floodplain and ESA and then there's a portion

591
00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:32,480
 of floodplain that goes around the west side where there's a gas well lot on there.

592
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:40,660
 So they're required per our standards to, one, stay out of the floodplain and then have

593
00:42:40,660 --> 00:42:46,280
 a drainage easement or a floodplain easement along that.

594
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:51,480
 I'm not sure about the very specific requirements related to that, but they do meet the minimum

595
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:56,400
 drainage requirements in terms of making sure that there's no negative impact and that any

596
00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:04,160
 detention that's required that they are providing that, I apologize, I'm not sure if I answered

597
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:05,880
 your question fully.

598
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,640
 So I mean, you're in the right family.

599
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,280
 So you partially answered it.

600
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:21,760
 I guess my two concerns are, one, during construction, as we impact this property, that ESA to the

601
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:32,480
 east and the floodplain is going to have soil creep and erosion that we specifically prohibit.

602
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:42,160
 It's just a given, there's no amount of little hay bale berms that's going to stop that.

603
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:47,440
 And so I guess I'm at a loss to see how we're covering 735B.

604
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:52,400
 And then on top of that, I worry about the future homeowners with that floodplain being

605
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,760
 right there.

606
00:43:55,760 --> 00:44:04,000
 I live here along Cooper Creek and you can see the impacts of poor development as we've

607
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:10,000
 talked about in previous meetings where these bends and curves just flood out neighbors

608
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:14,360
 who the old code was allowed to get too close to the creeks when they flood.

609
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,720
 And it's a huge financial impact on the city.

610
00:44:16,720 --> 00:44:19,360
 We have to dredge it, drain it.

611
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:23,560
 We have to do terrible things to the environment to keep those property owners safe.

612
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:28,040
 And it should have just not been, a few of these lots should have just never been built

613
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:29,040
 in the first place.

614
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:34,840
 And these are very similar kinds of lots where there's a slowdown and you're going to get

615
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:39,800
 those, even if it's not 100 year flood, you're going to flood out on a road, their property.

616
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,440
 And we see that all over our creek beds.

617
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:48,400
 And I just would like to see that we're sort of following our own guidelines and some of

618
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:53,640
 those lots we don't put in, even though they're profitable, maybe the rest of this development

619
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,200
 is fine, but a lot of those lots are just going to flood out.

620
00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:02,280
 And we know it and it's just challenging to then vote for something when I know some future

621
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,240
 property owner is going to get flooded out.

622
00:45:05,240 --> 00:45:10,600
 So I guess that was more of a diatribe and a comment than a question to you.

623
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:18,720
 But maybe you could address the 735D where the construction silting of that little ESA

624
00:45:18,720 --> 00:45:19,720
 to the east.

625
00:45:19,720 --> 00:45:21,680
 I know we're not allowed to have impacts on ESAs.

626
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:22,680
 Yes.

627
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:27,280
 So I could sort of, I could do my best to address that item.

628
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,400
 I did go back to the code to look at the reference that you brought up.

629
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:37,800
 So I believe if I understand it correctly, it's really referencing what we actually look

630
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,080
 at the permitting process.

631
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:49,040
 So when our applicant gets to their permit, they have to provide a, I believe they have

632
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:53,240
 to get an inspection regarding their erosion control.

633
00:45:53,240 --> 00:45:57,880
 And if I take a step back from that, a lot of that is actually addressed with the civil

634
00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:59,480
 engineering plans.

635
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,520
 So those have to be approved before we can take the final plan forward.

636
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:10,080
 But during the civil engineering plan process or review, we do have our water administration

637
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,920
 folks and engineering look at that.

638
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:18,520
 They look at the erosion control plan along with their grading plans to make sure that

639
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,240
 there's no negative impact.

640
00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:25,080
 And so that's when it goes back to the permit that they're basically putting in what they

641
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:30,440
 said they were going to put in to make sure that, again, as you mentioned, that there's

642
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:40,720
 no sediment release and without knowing the lingo, you know, that they're not disturbing

643
00:46:40,720 --> 00:46:46,640
 the ESA or the floodplain to the adjacent property.

644
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:51,760
 But I do want to point out that the applicant is on the line and they could probably better

645
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:56,000
 address kind of those drainage issues.

646
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,640
 Overall, drainage is addressed during the civil engineering plan.

647
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:05,520
 So without being an engineer, I can just, I can confirm that that was addressed.

648
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:06,520
 It was reviewed.

649
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,040
 And staff did look at that.

650
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:10,960
 I can't provide you the specifics.

651
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,720
 I'm not too familiar with everything that goes into that process.

652
00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:20,160
 And I'm not sure, Richard, if we need to get one of the engineers on the call to answer

653
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:21,160
 this question.

654
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:30,160
 But the applicant is available if you do have questions related to that specifically.

655
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:35,760
 The only thing I'd like to add is 735 isn't necessarily a subdivision regulation.

656
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,880
 It's more of a regulation that deals with permitting.

657
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:42,440
 So these are things that are addressed after the plat is approved and has to do with actual

658
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:47,180
 the land disturbing activities once that permit is issued for construction.

659
00:47:47,180 --> 00:47:52,760
 So that is all reviewed at the time of the pre-construction meeting, both with public

660
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:59,440
 works inspections, water, building, and the like.

661
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:03,440
 And so they go over all of these permitting requirements, making sure the SWP is up, construction

662
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,920
 notice sign, and everything else.

663
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,440
 I appreciate that clarification, Richard.

664
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:16,640
 The thing that concerns me is when we, that we should take a comprehensive view.

665
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:24,720
 And I know that y'all do, but if you wait until you've achieved that stage of development

666
00:48:24,720 --> 00:48:29,600
 where that particular chapter, even though guidance is in that chapter saying thou shalt

667
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:37,120
 not or thou shalt, if you wait until you achieve that stage, then it is often too late and

668
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:43,400
 a fait accompli to be able to provide guidance because of the way we phase out these developments.

669
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:49,320
 So the fact that it's in our DDC, in our language implies that we think it's important and provides

670
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:56,360
 backup for not letting this get so far into the process that we can't back out or make

671
00:48:56,360 --> 00:49:05,400
 changes that would otherwise let this project go through without the impacts.

672
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:10,700
 You sometimes get to where I can't not have that particular lot there or that road there

673
00:49:10,700 --> 00:49:17,700
 without changes because I've already approved it in an earlier stage.

674
00:49:17,700 --> 00:49:22,620
 I think it's important to note, though, that if they're meeting our standards, if it becomes

675
00:49:22,620 --> 00:49:26,780
 an enforcement issue, then we deal with it that way.

676
00:49:26,780 --> 00:49:32,160
 But I don't think we can review these and automatically assume things are going to fail,

677
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:33,820
 it's not going to work.

678
00:49:33,820 --> 00:49:38,160
 If they're meeting the standard, then we have to trust the updated standards that we put

679
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:42,120
 in place, very different than what we had in place 10, 15 years ago.

680
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:43,120
 >> All right.

681
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:44,120
 I appreciate it.

682
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:45,120
 Thank you, Richard.

683
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:46,120
 Thank you, Karina.

684
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:47,120
 >> Sorry about that.

685
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:48,120
 The mute button got me.

686
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:49,440
 Any other questions for Item 4C for Karina?

687
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:50,440
 Okay.

688
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:51,440
 Thank you very much.

689
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:52,440
 Moving on to Item 4D, PP20-4.

690
00:49:52,440 --> 00:50:11,920
 This item will be presented by Julie Wyatt.

691
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:21,400
 Julie, whenever you're ready, the floor is yours.

692
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:26,960
 >> Okay.

693
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:40,120
 Good evening, I'm Julie Wyatt, senior planner with the city of Denton, and this one might

694
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:41,600
 look really familiar to you.

695
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:48,720
 You just recently saw a plan development amendment for this piece of property for the preserve

696
00:50:48,720 --> 00:50:50,800
 at Pecan Creek.

697
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:54,000
 They are moving forward with their preliminary plan.

698
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,480
 We are recommending denial.

699
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,320
 It does not quite meet the standards yet.

700
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,080
 There are some corrections they need to make.

701
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:06,800
 So they have requested an extension to the November 4th meeting.

702
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,760
 >> Great.

703
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:10,760
 Thank you.

704
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:11,760
 Any questions on this?

705
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:15,560
 We will see it in three weeks or so.

706
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,360
 Thank you, Julie.

707
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:28,120
 This item is Item 4E, which is FR20-0008A, and this item will be presented by Ron McGuida.

708
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,840
 >> Thank you, Chair.

709
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:42,960
 Let me pull up the presentation.

710
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:43,960
 Good afternoon.

711
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:50,200
 This is a final replat application that was initially recommended for denial that was

712
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:57,680
 included in the Friday packet, however, since the packet was sent out, the staff was able

713
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:04,640
 to work with the applicant to obtain and review HOA documents, and that was really the main

714
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,400
 reason for the recommended denial.

715
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:13,940
 However, like I said earlier, they have submitted their HOA documents, and our legal staff has

716
00:52:13,940 --> 00:52:21,000
 reviewed it, and there are no other outstanding comments for this final replat.

717
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:26,640
 Therefore, the recommendation is now amended for a recommendation of approval as it meets

718
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:34,600
 all the criteria of approval for a final replat, and I'll be happy to stand for your questions.

719
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:38,200
 >> Any questions for Ron on this item?

720
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:39,200
 Okay.

721
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,040
 I did not see any.

722
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:43,040
 Thank you, Ron.

723
00:52:43,040 --> 00:53:00,520
 Next item of business is item 4 FPZ20-223, and this is -- I think my pages are out of

724
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:01,520
 order.

725
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:06,360
 Is this Ron or Richard?

726
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:07,360
 >> This will be me.

727
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:08,360
 >> Okay.

728
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:09,360
 Great.

729
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:10,360
 Sorry.

730
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:21,320
 >> We'll go ahead and share this screen.

731
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:28,760
 So this is the Development Code Review Committee portion of the agenda where we are seeking

732
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:35,440
 a selection of a new DCRC member to represent the Planning Zoning Commission.

733
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:40,360
 Again, the purpose of the DCRC Development Code Review Committee is to assist in the code

734
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:47,080
 amendments, provide guidance, help prioritize, and review the draft amendments with the ultimate

735
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:52,240
 objective to provide recommendation to the full City Council.

736
00:53:52,240 --> 00:53:58,120
 This is currently the makeup of the DCRC, three City Council members.

737
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:03,600
 John Ryan serves as Chair, Keely Briggs serves as Vice Chair, and Chris Watts also serves

738
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,720
 on the Committee.

739
00:54:05,720 --> 00:54:11,520
 Three Planning Zoning Commissioners are Andrew Rozell, Chair Andrew Rozell, and Vice Chair

740
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:16,200
 Margie Ellis also serves on the Committee, or did on the Committee.

741
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:21,400
 And we have a vacancy, and that is one that was held by Larry Beck, who is no longer with

742
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,200
 the Planning Zoning Commission.

743
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:30,400
 So what staff is seeking is for the Commission to nominate and select a Commissioner for

744
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,440
 the DCRC.

745
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:37,000
 This is, again, the schedule that we have, you've already seen this.

746
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:42,400
 We hope to, as soon as we select a member from the Planning Zoning Commission, to start

747
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:48,120
 holding our DCRC meetings to go over those categories that we discussed in an earlier

748
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,360
 work session item.

749
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:55,680
 With that, I'll stand for any questions and/or see where we go with the selection.

750
00:54:55,680 --> 00:55:00,440
 Ron, I have a couple questions that would be helpful.

751
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:07,400
 We will take any nominations during the actual public hearing, public meeting, not now, right?

752
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:15,280
 And then two, is there a preliminary schedule for my and Margie's notification, but also

753
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,480
 for someone maybe considering this?

754
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:22,720
 The frequency and duration of the meetings would be helpful, I think, to anyone accepting

755
00:55:22,720 --> 00:55:23,960
 a nomination for this.

756
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:32,680
 And then lastly, can you remind me of the turnover date for council with the election

757
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:33,960
 being in November?

758
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:43,040
 When will Mayor Watts actually roll off service?

759
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:47,500
 And Richard can correct me if I'm wrong, Cynthia, I understand that the swearing-in is on November

760
00:55:47,500 --> 00:55:52,640
 7-10?

761
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:59,080
 So that leads me maybe to the logical question, is two members of the council representation

762
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:04,720
 will serve half the duration of this project and then will bring in, theoretically, two

763
00:56:04,720 --> 00:56:08,000
 new council members to serve for the other half?

764
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:18,240
 I just maybe throw out the proficiency of the project if two members have a turnover

765
00:56:18,240 --> 00:56:22,180
 mid-service of a pretty short sprint of a project.

766
00:56:22,180 --> 00:56:29,160
 I think the intent was to get the DCRC going and we understand there will be at least one

767
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,960
 for sure that will not be at the DCRC.

768
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:40,480
 Hopefully we will be going along sooner and we can get some items identified and discussed.

769
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:46,400
 And when we get to that point, we'll transition to some of the items where we can and hopefully

770
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:50,360
 that next person or persons can fill in that void.

771
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,560
 Okay, and then the question of scheduling?

772
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:58,520
 Yes, as far as scheduling, we know that it's going to be at least two hours.

773
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:00,840
 We know that that's worked in the past.

774
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:04,880
 An hour would just seem too short and then anything more than two hours would just wait

775
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:05,880
 too long.

776
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:09,120
 So between an hour and a half to two is what we're looking for.

777
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:13,840
 As how often I think it's going to be initially, maybe every week.

778
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:19,080
 However, that can change depending on how soon we can get things turned around or prepared

779
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,160
 for the committee to review.

780
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:26,920
 So I would say the first, maybe first couple of weeks will be every week and then adjust

781
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:28,480
 after that.

782
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:31,520
 But again, the length of the meeting would most likely be around an hour and a half to

783
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:32,520
 two hours.

784
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:33,520
 Okay.

785
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:36,600
 Commissioner Beck, I think you had a question.

786
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:42,300
 Yeah, I just actually agree with Ron on that, Chair.

787
00:57:42,300 --> 00:57:50,040
 If you and Margie are going to stay on, sorry, Commissioner Ellis, are going to stay on that

788
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:57,320
 committee, then your expertise and existing knowledge would help guide any flopping of

789
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,460
 council members of the committee.

790
00:58:00,460 --> 00:58:05,120
 So I think having some stability would help in that transition and I don't know how you

791
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,900
 would avoid the transition of council members otherwise.

792
00:58:08,900 --> 00:58:09,900
 So that was my comment.

793
00:58:09,900 --> 00:58:10,900
 Thank you, Chair.

794
00:58:10,900 --> 00:58:13,400
 That's a good point taken.

795
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:19,880
 I guess my counter would be appoint members of council that aren't subject to being turned

796
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:21,840
 over readily.

797
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:27,720
 There's three other council members, two other council members, there's members that would

798
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:28,720
 remain.

799
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:30,920
 Commissioner Ellis, you had a question?

800
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:31,920
 Yeah.

801
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:32,920
 Thank you, Chair.

802
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:36,440
 Ron, are you still talking about Friday morning as we have done in the past?

803
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:40,440
 You know, Commissioner Ellis, one of the things that we'll do, and I know this is probably

804
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:47,720
 part of the decision-making factor, we hope to send out a survey to see who's able and

805
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:51,480
 how many are able to meet on a certain date and we'll have to make a decision at that

806
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:52,480
 point.

807
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:59,520
 Friday's worked just because it was flexible in the people that were in the DCRC at the

808
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:00,520
 time.

809
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:01,520
 That may be different.

810
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:06,600
 So I can't say it's Friday, but something that we probably should consider.

811
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:07,600
 Understood.

812
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,720
 Thank you.

813
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:12,800
 Okay.

814
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:16,360
 We'll revisit this in public hearing unless there's any questions.

815
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:17,360
 Yes.

816
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:18,360
 Okay.

817
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:19,360
 Great.

818
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:23,200
 Let's go ahead and move into the public hearing section of the agenda.

819
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:29,640
 We'll start with item 5A, DCA 20-0004.

820
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:36,680
 This looks like it'll be presented by Richard.

821
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:38,400
 Ron's going to go ahead and take this one.

822
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:40,600
 Sounds good.

823
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:43,280
 All right.

824
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,440
 I know I have a presentation in here.

825
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:51,160
 Give me a few minutes to pull it up.

826
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:56,440
 One second.

827
00:59:56,440 --> 01:00:08,720
 While Ron's pulling that up, I just wanted to note that thanks to Commissioner Ellis

828
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:17,320
 pointed it out, in the draft ordinance, for some reason, if you look at the P pluses across,

829
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:21,520
 there's not a plus added.

830
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:25,320
 I think it's the highway commercial.

831
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:31,280
 What happened was it just got cut off in that box as we were formatting, so it is a P plus

832
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:32,280
 straight across.

833
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:39,080
 So really all this amendment is doing is just adding a P plus to the column to permit the

834
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:42,160
 use within MN.

835
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:50,600
 Chair, members of the commission, I forgot to attach the PowerPoint presentation, but

836
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:53,480
 I will make sure to have that as part of the public hearing.

837
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:59,320
 But as far as the work session is concerned, as we consider this item, it's a code amendment

838
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:08,960
 to the tattoo and piercing parlor use table in subchapter five of the development code.

839
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:14,680
 Currently there are a number of these types of businesses, tattoo and piercing parlors,

840
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:22,000
 in the city that were approved and legally started back before the 2019 code.

841
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:29,440
 Either they were zoned NRMU 12 or NRMU, however, due to the transition to the new then development

842
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:35,360
 code, 2019 development code, those properties that were zoned, those zoning districts were

843
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:42,960
 transferred into or transitioned into an MN zoning district with the adoption of the 2019

844
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:43,960
 code.

845
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:50,160
 However, that particular zoning district did not permit or does not permit currently the

846
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:52,840
 tattoo and piercing parlors.

847
01:01:52,840 --> 01:02:01,720
 So what we have is a number of uses that are now non-conforming, a total of seven of those

848
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:07,360
 that are currently in place are zoned, are within a zoning of MN.

849
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:14,640
 So what staff is proposing is to address the non-conformity by adding a P plus to the MN

850
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:21,360
 zoning district for tattoo and piercing parlor, and what that will do is bring those seven

851
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:24,520
 businesses into illegal statuses.

852
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:30,680
 The plus specifically is a use specific standard, and what that is basically is that they must

853
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:35,040
 comply with the state requirements under that type of use.

854
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:37,720
 And that's it, that's all that's under the use specific standard.

855
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:42,240
 So I apologize, I don't have the presentation for you during the work session, but I'll

856
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:48,460
 make sure that what I'm referring to is illustrated in the public hearing section of this agenda.

857
01:02:48,460 --> 01:02:54,160
 Great, is there any questions?

858
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:55,160
 Commissioner Ellis.

859
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:56,160
 Thank you, Chair.

860
01:02:56,160 --> 01:03:00,040
 Ron, I'm just curious, was this staff initiated or did some of these business owners come

861
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:01,040
 to you?

862
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:08,360
 I think, well, we definitely were asked to start this process, but it's being brought

863
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:12,420
 forward as a staff initiated code amendment.

864
01:03:12,420 --> 01:03:14,420
 Thank you.

865
01:03:14,420 --> 01:03:17,960
 Any other questions?

866
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:20,120
 Okay, great.

867
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:27,360
 Let's move on to item 5B, S20-0005.

868
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:32,480
 This item is to be presented by Sean Jacobson.

869
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:40,480
 Good evening, Chair and members of the commission.

870
01:03:40,480 --> 01:04:08,280
 I'm just going to pull up my presentation here.

871
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:09,280
 Okay.

872
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:10,280
 So, good evening.

873
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:17,560
 I am here to present S20-0005, which is a request for a specific use permit for a minor

874
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:25,560
 automotive repair use on about a 0.201 acre site, generally located on the west side of

875
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:31,200
 South Elm Street, just northwest of, north of the northwest corner of South Elm Street

876
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:34,920
 and West Highland Street.

877
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:39,880
 This is required, a specific use permit is required for the minor automotive use within

878
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:42,320
 the MN zoning district.

879
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:47,720
 This is a currently developed site, has an existing building, and that's had a range

880
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:52,840
 of uses, which in the past has included automotive repair as well as air conditioner repair,

881
01:04:52,840 --> 01:05:00,640
 legal office, auto sales, and the opt-in is now wanting to pursue a tire shop in that

882
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:01,640
 location.

883
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:06,560
 So, as you can see here, this is the site plan they proposed.

884
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:11,620
 They would be working entirely within the existing building and not proposing any expansions

885
01:05:11,620 --> 01:05:12,620
 or additions.

886
01:05:12,620 --> 01:05:16,000
 They do have the required amount of parking spaces.

887
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:21,080
 The one change which we'll discuss a little bit later is the replacement of the existing

888
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:26,920
 visible dumpster with dumpster on casters that could be moved back behind the existing

889
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:31,240
 fence on the site.

890
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:36,240
 The surrounding development, as you can see, includes commercial and mixed use commercial

891
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:43,040
 to the north, a variety of auto repair and auto sales uses there to the east, and then

892
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:48,160
 duplex residential dwellings to the south and west.

893
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:54,040
 And again, this is an existing building that's been there, I believe over 25 years, not proposed

894
01:05:54,040 --> 01:06:01,800
 to be changed with this, just to bring in this use, which now requires the SEP.

895
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:08,520
 You're familiar, we have our general approval criteria as well as specific criteria for

896
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:16,880
 the SEP and we'll touch specifically on kind of the key elements that apply to this site.

897
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:20,320
 One of the big ones we always look at is the compatibility of the proposed use with the

898
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:21,680
 surrounding area.

899
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:24,480
 This is a mixed use corridor area.

900
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:28,520
 So as you saw, we have a variety of commercial and residential uses.

901
01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:32,920
 This fits in with that pattern, the proposed use is similar to a previous minor automotive

902
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:35,680
 repair that's actually existed on the site.

903
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:40,120
 And as I said, the building's been there for an extended period of time.

904
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:44,040
 We see this as a neighborhood serving commercial use, which is an important part of a mixed

905
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:45,640
 use area.

906
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:50,820
 Surrounding properties zone similarly, MN, and it's developed, there's certainly potential

907
01:06:50,820 --> 01:06:57,300
 for redevelopment, but this is not expected to limit that potential.

908
01:06:57,300 --> 01:07:01,760
 Another real important thing to look at is mitigating any potential negative impacts.

909
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:05,640
 One of those is noise, and so that's addressed in two ways.

910
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:10,320
 All of the bays point away from the adjacent residential.

911
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:16,520
 In addition, staff has recommended and the applicant has agreed with a condition of approval

912
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:21,440
 that all work will be performed inside bays, no work will be done outside of it in order

913
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:25,320
 to limit the effect of any of the tools that are being used.

914
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:30,460
 Another important consideration is the visual effect as well as the effect of the refuse

915
01:07:30,460 --> 01:07:32,360
 storage area.

916
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:35,040
 Use specific standards already apply.

917
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:39,520
 All storage of equipment, auto parts, supplies that they use in the servicing of the vehicles

918
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:40,840
 needs to be inside.

919
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:45,160
 However, we've added and the applicant has agreed to additional condition of approval

920
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:49,360
 that no wrecked or inoperable vehicles may be stored on site, so you're not going to

921
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:52,900
 have junk cars sitting in the back there.

922
01:07:52,900 --> 01:07:58,920
 In addition, and this goes to the dumpster that I referenced earlier, and as you can

923
01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:06,280
 see there right now, it's in full view adjacent to the right of way, and we as a condition

924
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:10,520
 of approval, we've recommended and the applicant has agreed that at the applicant's expense

925
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:16,760
 that will be replaced with a dumpster of similar capacity on casters that will be stored behind

926
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:17,760
 the fence.

927
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:22,240
 You can see there and just rolled out on the pickup day and then put back, which removes

928
01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:28,460
 a current aesthetic down point of the site and takes away, you know, the presence of

929
01:08:28,460 --> 01:08:32,800
 a dumpster regularly on the border with neighboring properties, as well as the right of way.

930
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:35,880
 So that condition of approval helps mitigate that issue.

931
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:42,560
 Finally, it's always important to look at compatibility with the overall comprehensive

932
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:43,560
 plan.

933
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:46,880
 This is part of the downtown compatibility area.

934
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:51,800
 And so uses in this area are intended to provide compatibility between downtown Jason residential

935
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:53,120
 and commercial.

936
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:56,560
 And one important part of that is providing neighborhoods serving commercial in a scale

937
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:59,000
 and form that's sensitive to the surrounding built context.

938
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:04,000
 So again, we're talking about a building that has existed for a long time.

939
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:09,040
 They're proposing to bring in a neighborhood serving commercial use.

940
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:13,200
 It is consistent with the goal of providing neighborhood serving commercial in that area.

941
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:22,200
 It also meets DP 2030 goals of developing a long corridors, which is this is a primary

942
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:25,720
 arterial and facilitating non residential adaptive reuse existing buildings.

943
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:29,620
 We have an existing commercial building that's currently not being used.

944
01:09:29,620 --> 01:09:35,840
 This would provide a commercial use in that fighting stability.

945
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:37,760
 Providing adequate public facilities is also important.

946
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:44,080
 They looked at traffic generation would be a morning peak hour generation of about 11

947
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:46,160
 trips, evening peak of 13 trips.

948
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:50,800
 As this is a primary arterial use is similar to most recent previous use.

949
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:56,720
 It's not expected to have negative effects that traffic generation.

950
01:09:56,720 --> 01:10:00,480
 We've addressed solid waste, which will be handled by that dumpster, which will now be

951
01:10:00,480 --> 01:10:02,240
 out of sight.

952
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:05,240
 Water and wastewater and other utilities are already provided to the site.

953
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:10,680
 No changes will be necessitated if this use is approved.

954
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:18,000
 We did as a standard, provide the newspaper and property posting mailed out notices.

955
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:25,480
 We did receive two responses in opposition and those were included in your backup neighborhood

956
01:10:25,480 --> 01:10:28,320
 zoom meeting was also held.

957
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:35,200
 One neighbor did attend expressed concerns about noise and traffic generation, had some

958
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:39,320
 conditional concerns, but was one of the two that wrote in a letter.

959
01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:44,920
 So you've had a chance to review the full concerns there.

960
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:51,480
 So with that staff is recommending approval with the following conditions because based

961
01:10:51,480 --> 01:10:56,000
 on having those approval conditions, this does meet all of the criteria for approval

962
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,280
 and is consistent with plan 2030.

963
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:04,800
 Again, not that the conditions related to the rolling dumpster that all work on vehicles

964
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:08,840
 will be conducted inside vehicle bays and shall not be performed outside and that there

965
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:12,400
 shall be no storage of wrecked or inoperable cars on the site.

966
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:16,840
 So with that, that concludes my presentation and I'm happy to answer any questions you

967
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:17,840
 have.

968
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:18,840
 Okay.

969
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:19,840
 Mr. Smith.

970
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:29,680
 Hey, Karen, Sean, so it was, it was a minor repair auto shop and is it, it's currently

971
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:30,680
 vacant.

972
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:31,680
 You said now.

973
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:38,200
 So there's when was, when was that minor, when was that last tenant in there?

974
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:41,880
 It was within the last year that, that, uh, that you ceased.

975
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:42,880
 Okay.

976
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:48,120
 Cause a lot of, a lot of the citizen comments have been in regards to the ways and not wanting

977
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:55,320
 to have those, you know, that, that use around, but that use has kind of always been there.

978
01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:57,440
 Do you know any history longer than the last year?

979
01:11:57,440 --> 01:12:02,880
 Has it been an auto shop for as long as that building's been there?

980
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:05,640
 It kind of looks like it's designed to be an auto shop.

981
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:11,320
 It has also previously been an air conditioning repair shop within the last 10 years.

982
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:16,560
 It's hosted a law office, but as you say, the initial design there certainly was set

983
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:19,440
 up for a minor automotive repair.

984
01:12:19,440 --> 01:12:20,440
 Okay.

985
01:12:20,440 --> 01:12:21,440
 Got it.

986
01:12:21,440 --> 01:12:22,440
 Thank you.

987
01:12:22,440 --> 01:12:23,440
 Chris, you're back.

988
01:12:23,440 --> 01:12:24,440
 Thank you, chair.

989
01:12:24,440 --> 01:12:31,400
 Um, yeah, can Sean King, similar to, to commissioner Smith's question, uh, when did the surrounding

990
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:35,640
 residential, uh, come in, uh, I guess it's a duplex.

991
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:37,120
 Uh, yes, sir.

992
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:43,200
 That was, that use was, uh, I'm sorry, let me rephrase, uh, the building permit for that

993
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:51,240
 was approved between last July and last September and construction completed this year.

994
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:52,560
 So that's a new duplex.

995
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:53,560
 Yes, sir.

996
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:54,560
 Okay.

997
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:56,240
 Previously it was a single family residence.

998
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:57,240
 Thank you.

999
01:12:57,240 --> 01:12:58,240
 Great.

1000
01:12:58,240 --> 01:12:59,240
 Uh, any other questions?

1001
01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:00,240
 I don't see anything.

1002
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:01,240
 Thanks for the presentation, Sean.

1003
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:02,240
 Thank you, sir.

1004
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:16,200
 The next item of business is item five C ZC I 20 dash zero zero one D. This is Ron McGuida's

1005
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:17,200
 item.

1006
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:40,000
 Thank you, chair, um, let me share my presentation.

1007
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:43,220
 So for, um, Ron McGuida, principal plan with development services.

1008
01:13:43,220 --> 01:13:49,960
 So for your consideration, uh, this evening is a public hearing item, um, a zoning, uh,

1009
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:55,480
 case, uh, rezoning, um, that is going to be presented by myself as well as Danny Shaw with

1010
01:13:55,480 --> 01:13:56,480
 community services.

1011
01:13:56,480 --> 01:13:59,280
 Um, she is the community services manager.

1012
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:00,280
 She is on the call.

1013
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:04,700
 So if there are any questions related to the, uh, proposed project, she will be hopefully

1014
01:14:04,700 --> 01:14:07,580
 able to help answer those questions.

1015
01:14:07,580 --> 01:14:14,320
 So the request inside location of the subject rezoning is located on loop 288, uh, it is

1016
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:22,160
 proposed to, um, change from SC suburban corridor to public facilities, which is PF.

1017
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:24,520
 It's approximately five acres, uh, in size.

1018
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:28,800
 It's of the existing building that you see there highlighted or surrounded in yellow.

1019
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:34,000
 Um, it is an existing commercial building with parking lots, a parking lot, um, and

1020
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:40,600
 again, located along loop 288, um, between, uh, the road and an existing substation.

1021
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:47,040
 Uh, this is just to illustrate the zoning change as you can see, the zoning will go

1022
01:14:47,040 --> 01:14:54,960
 from this pink SC, uh, to if approved, uh, will be, uh, changed to a PF, uh, that will

1023
01:14:54,960 --> 01:15:00,520
 make this entire area here, uh, one continuous zoning district.

1024
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:05,360
 So one of the things or a couple of things that we look at, um, in regards to any application,

1025
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:11,460
 there are 13, um, approval, uh, criteria, uh, applicable to all applications and they

1026
01:15:11,460 --> 01:15:12,460
 are listed here.

1027
01:15:12,460 --> 01:15:13,880
 I won't go through all of them.

1028
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:18,880
 However, I've highlighted three that I think is worth mentioning, uh, is the rezoning consistent

1029
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:21,400
 with the comprehensive plan?

1030
01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:27,360
 Does the rezoning, uh, will, would it minimize any adverse impact on surrounding property?

1031
01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:33,160
 And lastly, will the results of the rezoning, uh, will it have, uh, adequate public services

1032
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:34,160
 and facilities?

1033
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:39,560
 Um, these are some of the things that we look at and have, have answered and as part of

1034
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:46,920
 your backup, uh, in addition to the, um, approval criteria for all applications, there are also

1035
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:51,960
 criteria for approval for specifically zoning map amendment or rezonings.

1036
01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:56,400
 And again, they are listed here and there are a total of seven.

1037
01:15:56,400 --> 01:16:01,160
 Um, uh, I'll just briefly go through them consistent with the future language map, consistent

1038
01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:05,960
 with any small area plans, uh, does it, um, is it consistent with the purpose statement

1039
01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:12,880
 of what the proposed zoning district is, um, will, um, there have been a have been or will

1040
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:15,400
 be significant changes in the area.

1041
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:20,400
 Um, five, the intensity of the development in the new zoning district is not expected

1042
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:23,400
 to create any adverse impacts to surrounding properties.

1043
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:27,440
 Uh, six public facilities and services are available and adequate.

1044
01:16:27,440 --> 01:16:33,400
 And seven, that the zoning, um, was, uh, original zoning was not, uh, an error in establishing

1045
01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:36,400
 the current zoning.

1046
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:40,080
 So first, uh, is it consistent with the comprehensive plan?

1047
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:47,120
 Well, the proposed use, um, which is, I'm sorry, proposed zoning district is PF, um,

1048
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:53,120
 and looking at the surrounding zoning districts, uh, it is, um, going to put PF in line with

1049
01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:55,480
 the other areas that is currently zoning PF.

1050
01:16:55,480 --> 01:17:02,240
 Uh, it is a long loop 288, a very, um, um, appropriate, uh, area for PF.

1051
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:08,320
 Um, the proposed use, uh, development will help facilitate the opportunity to establish

1052
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:12,240
 some programs to serve our den community in need of need.

1053
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:18,000
 Uh, it is also looking at redevelopment, redeveloping the existing underutilized property.

1054
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:22,800
 And again, the last two bullets there are just that it complies with the development

1055
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:29,600
 standards and the setback requirements under, uh, the development code.

1056
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:36,860
 How is it, um, as far as the surrounding properties, uh, where is it located in, in relationship

1057
01:17:36,860 --> 01:17:42,640
 to some of the more sensitive uses and in this case, uh, single family homes, um, to

1058
01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:47,000
 the north, as you can see, it's undeveloped, it's currently zone PF.

1059
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:52,720
 So the zoning to the north is, is going to be consistent or is, is, is PF.

1060
01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:59,040
 To the west, uh, we have an existing sub station, uh, and then further to the west of that substation

1061
01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:08,720
 is the, uh, residential neighborhood, a residential neighborhood, um, in the zoning for the substation

1062
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:14,280
 directly adjacent to the proposed zoning area is also zone PF.

1063
01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:19,600
 To the south is undeveloped, as you can see here, um, there's, um, some proposals that

1064
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:24,640
 we've seen in the past, but nothing has really developed, uh, the, the zoning of that parcel

1065
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:28,780
 of parcels are zoned, uh, are seven residential seven.

1066
01:18:28,780 --> 01:18:34,960
 And then to the east across, uh, loop 288 is some uses that the DPS building is there,

1067
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:40,560
 uh, FEMA's further to the south, uh, but in general, the area is undeveloped, um, and

1068
01:18:40,560 --> 01:18:45,960
 the zoning consists of both PD as well as mixed use neighborhood.

1069
01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:53,480
 Um, just to dive in a little bit more on how this, um, area is situated, again, the DME

1070
01:18:53,480 --> 01:18:59,160
 substation, uh, sits between the proposed, um, zoning district or zoning area that's

1071
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:00,160
 under consideration.

1072
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:06,440
 Audra Meadows is to the west, uh, and then, um, Mockingbird Heights is even further to

1073
01:19:06,440 --> 01:19:07,440
 the west.

1074
01:19:07,440 --> 01:19:13,360
 Uh, Providence square is to the east across, uh, the high, um, the highway loop 288 and

1075
01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:17,200
 other undeveloped properties.

1076
01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:22,120
 We wanted to show just to illustrate how this is viewed from, uh, loop 288.

1077
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:25,440
 And I'm sure some of you may have already driven by this site.

1078
01:19:25,440 --> 01:19:32,240
 As you can see, this is taken from the, um, loop 288, um, area and looking west, uh, there

1079
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:38,640
 are obviously some trees, uh, along the northern part of that lot, uh, as well as you can see

1080
01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:46,200
 in the very, um, background, it's the substation, uh, that is, uh, surrounded by a masonry wall.

1081
01:19:46,200 --> 01:19:54,640
 Um, my understanding the area along between the substation and the residential, um, neighborhood,

1082
01:19:54,640 --> 01:20:00,160
 there are fences that basically border that neighborhood, um, to the west.

1083
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:07,440
 Uh, this slide here illustrates it even more, um, wanted to get close to between the substation

1084
01:20:07,440 --> 01:20:09,880
 and the existing neighborhood.

1085
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:11,920
 Uh, there is a gap between there.

1086
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:17,800
 Uh, there are some trees and also again, between the masonry wall of the substation and the

1087
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:24,160
 residential neighborhood, there's also some fencing, existing fencing.

1088
01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:30,120
 So one of the things that we look at as far as, uh, potentially adverse impact to, um,

1089
01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:33,440
 the area, again, we're looking at a PF zoning district.

1090
01:20:33,440 --> 01:20:39,480
 So this here list all, list all of the uses that are allowed under the public facilities

1091
01:20:39,480 --> 01:20:40,480
 zoning district.

1092
01:20:40,480 --> 01:20:46,360
 And again, I've highlighted a number of them, um, primarily as it relates to the proposed

1093
01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:51,880
 use of the property, uh, future use community service is a permitted use, homeless shelter

1094
01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:57,160
 is permitted use, administrative, professional, and government office is a permit use.

1095
01:20:57,160 --> 01:21:01,680
 And this is one of the reasons why this zoning district was selected is because of those

1096
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:08,440
 three items or three uses that is primarily what will be if approved, uh, the uses that

1097
01:21:08,440 --> 01:21:15,960
 will be associated with this building, um, proposed uses to be considered, um, I'm going

1098
01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:20,840
 to turn this over to, um, to Danny, I think she's on the call.

1099
01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:28,520
 Uh, she's, uh, better, um, informed as to the day to day and propose, um, uh, programs

1100
01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:30,160
 that are proposed for this development.

1101
01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:32,120
 So if I can have Danny chime in.

1102
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:43,680
 Hey, Danny Shaw, community services, uh, commissioners that we're looking at a proposed project that

1103
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:49,960
 would, uh, include a day shelter and an overnight shelter for people experiencing homelessness

1104
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:56,080
 and people who are at risk of homelessness, the services proposed would include, uh, supportive

1105
01:21:56,080 --> 01:22:01,000
 services for people who are in need of assistance, especially you're dealing with the effects

1106
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:08,520
 of poverty with a primary focus on food security, providing meals and other resources for folks.

1107
01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:14,880
 And then, um, our overall, it meets in alignment with our overall plan for our housing crisis

1108
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:20,060
 response system that helps people both maintain housing so they don't become homeless and

1109
01:22:20,060 --> 01:22:28,960
 or provide them a shelter if they are homeless while they work towards the housing solution.

1110
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:30,920
 Thank you, Danny.

1111
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:38,680
 Um, the notifications for this, um, public hearing was sent out, um, in line with Texas

1112
01:22:38,680 --> 01:22:39,880
 local government code.

1113
01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:44,680
 Uh, we did send out notices to people within a turner feet.

1114
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:49,680
 Um, and those consisted only six, as you can see from the red, uh, there are not that

1115
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:53,480
 many, uh, properties that are within the two or two foot boundary.

1116
01:22:53,480 --> 01:22:59,920
 Uh, we also sent out notices, uh, courtesy notices, postcards to property owners, not

1117
01:22:59,920 --> 01:23:05,320
 just due to 500 feet, because we realized that 500 feet really wouldn't garner any,

1118
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:06,320
 um, input.

1119
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:10,540
 So what we did is we extended that, uh, notification to a thousand.

1120
01:23:10,540 --> 01:23:17,760
 So those within a thousand feet of the subject site were sent a postcard, uh, notifying them

1121
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:22,080
 of the public hearing, public hearings, uh, related to this zoning case.

1122
01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:27,920
 Um, initially we, we had intended to bring this public hearing item to you all earlier

1123
01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:28,920
 this summer.

1124
01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:38,240
 However, due to, um, uh, ownership, um, reasons we postponed it, um, but before then on June

1125
01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:44,480
 4th, there was a virtual neighborhood meeting held by the city, uh, where we, um, heard

1126
01:23:44,480 --> 01:23:47,240
 from the community, uh, that called in.

1127
01:23:47,240 --> 01:23:51,480
 Uh, there were a number of folks that, um, participated in that virtual neighborhood

1128
01:23:51,480 --> 01:23:52,480
 meeting.

1129
01:23:52,480 --> 01:23:56,380
 And, um, after this slide, Danny's going to go over some of the questions and some of

1130
01:23:56,380 --> 01:24:01,560
 the responses that we provided, uh, as a, as a result of that community meeting.

1131
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:08,800
 As of, uh, this afternoon, uh, I know we've received a number of, uh, notices and or,

1132
01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:14,040
 uh, comments, uh, that were either sent to you all, um, hopefully you have had an opportunity

1133
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:15,640
 to at least see some of them.

1134
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:22,240
 Uh, they, they still are coming in, uh, and the red represents the, the folks that are

1135
01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:25,680
 opposed to the, um, subject rezoning.

1136
01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:28,120
 Um, again, those are the ones in red here.

1137
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:33,480
 Uh, we do have only one that's within the 200 foot and that person owns this property

1138
01:24:33,480 --> 01:24:38,120
 here and this person is in opposition outside of this person.

1139
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:41,400
 Most of them are, are, are not within the turn of foot.

1140
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:50,600
 They're just outside, um, the 500 foot in between five and foot and the 1000 foot boundary.

1141
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:54,000
 So I'm going to turn this back again to Danny to talk a little bit about the neighborhood

1142
01:24:54,000 --> 01:25:01,540
 meeting that was held on June 4th.

1143
01:25:01,540 --> 01:25:02,800
 Thank you, Ron.

1144
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:07,940
 We did provide in your backup, a response that was provided to the participants, uh,

1145
01:25:07,940 --> 01:25:09,700
 on the neighborhood meeting.

1146
01:25:09,700 --> 01:25:14,440
 We wanted to go through what we heard were their issues, including some concerns for

1147
01:25:14,440 --> 01:25:20,120
 negative effects on property values, concerns for increased crime concerns for the safety

1148
01:25:20,120 --> 01:25:26,780
 of residents, some questions about what the city will be doing to prevent, um, traveling

1149
01:25:26,780 --> 01:25:33,560
 through the neighborhood information about what, what other locations might've been considered

1150
01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:38,440
 and how we would prevent individuals from living on sheltered as well as some plans

1151
01:25:38,440 --> 01:25:43,200
 for the area between the neighborhood and the center as it's currently located.

1152
01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:47,760
 We did share some information about what we had already been planning in advance, which

1153
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:53,200
 was looking at how we would provide sensing and barriers and lighting appropriate to contain

1154
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:57,500
 what's happening in the, in a facility to the facility.

1155
01:25:57,500 --> 01:26:03,720
 And then we've identified some other strategies, um, that we would like to deploy once a provider

1156
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:09,160
 is, um, secured in what requirements we will place on that provider.

1157
01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:13,360
 Um, but the biggest one is we've made it very clear that there will be no camping in or

1158
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:15,360
 around the property.

1159
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:21,340
 We'll make sure that the fencing, um, is considered with neighborhood engagement.

1160
01:26:21,340 --> 01:26:26,160
 And then also looking at how transportation and mobility will be an important part of

1161
01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:30,560
 our conversations, how people get there and how, how they exit the property currently

1162
01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:32,720
 does have sidewalks in front of it and a bus stop.

1163
01:26:32,720 --> 01:26:36,720
 So those are some of the things that we're looking at immediately, uh, with the project

1164
01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:40,520
 based on the feedback we, we heard from the residents.

1165
01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:47,760
 Can you talk a little bit about the good neighbor concept?

1166
01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:48,760
 Sure.

1167
01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:53,800
 One of the requirements that is, is under consideration in the, in the agreement with

1168
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:57,600
 the nonprofit provider is what we're calling good neighbor practices.

1169
01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:03,000
 And we will expect them to employ staff who will do daily inspections of the property

1170
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:09,200
 in the surrounding area and then connect with anyone who might be there and shouldn't be.

1171
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:12,760
 And then we have a direct connection now with our new mental health unit that they can connect

1172
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:17,480
 with to make sure people are exited from the property who shouldn't be there and who should

1173
01:27:17,480 --> 01:27:19,920
 be engaging with the shelter services.

1174
01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:24,280
 And then a couple of other requirements that we would like them to do, which is to do ongoing

1175
01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:28,600
 neighborhood meetings to make sure that any issues that do come up throughout the course

1176
01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:33,160
 of their use of this facility will be addressed quickly and immediately.

1177
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:35,000
 Thank you.

1178
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:41,560
 Um, so with that, um, just wanted to share the public hearing, uh, schedule, uh, of course

1179
01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:43,960
 today we'll be considering it the planning zoning commission.

1180
01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:48,920
 Well, uh, there has been a change in the date, uh, initially it was published for November

1181
01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:54,960
 3rd, uh, that has, um, obviously, um, will not happen because of, um, the election.

1182
01:27:54,960 --> 01:28:00,040
 We are now going to be considering this or the city council will be considering this

1183
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:05,720
 after the planning zoning commission makes their recommendation on November 10th, uh,

1184
01:28:05,720 --> 01:28:06,720
 2020.

1185
01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:13,360
 A staff recommendation, uh, is for approval as it meets the requirements of, um, the Dunvely

1186
01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:17,320
 code, uh, for approval of the zoning change.

1187
01:28:17,320 --> 01:28:20,200
 With that, uh, I'll be happy to answer any questions.

1188
01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:25,640
 And if there are any related to, uh, the program itself, Danny Shaw will also be able to answer

1189
01:28:25,640 --> 01:28:26,640
 questions.

1190
01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:27,840
 I think we'll have some questions.

1191
01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:37,840
 Let's start with Mr. Smith, um, the, uh, Ron, who is the actual applicant loop to 88 property?

1192
01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:45,560
 Um, who is the applicant that's actually initiating this and is it, is it, is it this, is it Danny's

1193
01:28:45,560 --> 01:28:51,480
 division that's going to be hosting this, this, this shelter there or who's actual entity

1194
01:28:51,480 --> 01:28:52,480
 that's going to be operating?

1195
01:28:52,480 --> 01:28:53,480
 Is it Monsignor King?

1196
01:28:53,480 --> 01:28:56,720
 Is it, I think some of those, uh, agreement that was struck there.

1197
01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:57,720
 Can you kind of give me some?

1198
01:28:57,720 --> 01:28:58,720
 Sure.

1199
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:00,200
 I'll answer the first part of the question.

1200
01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:03,200
 The city, uh, city of Din is the applicant of this rezoning.

1201
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:05,200
 I thought it was a city property, so I wanted to make sure.

1202
01:29:05,200 --> 01:29:06,200
 Right.

1203
01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:07,200
 City property.

1204
01:29:07,200 --> 01:29:08,200
 And that's partly the reason why it's been postponed.

1205
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:12,480
 We, we were able to take ownership of the property just this past summer.

1206
01:29:12,480 --> 01:29:18,280
 Uh, but as far as the selection, uh, I don't know if we've selected a, uh, provider yet,

1207
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:22,000
 but maybe Danny can fill us in a little bit of where we are on that.

1208
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:23,000
 Right.

1209
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,240
 The provider selection hasn't been finalized.

1210
01:29:25,240 --> 01:29:28,840
 We have been working with, um, two entities primarily.

1211
01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:35,280
 Um, but that, those agreements will come later once we've gone through the processes of identifying

1212
01:29:35,280 --> 01:29:40,960
 and then creating the agreements that are appropriate for how we want someone to manage

1213
01:29:40,960 --> 01:29:42,760
 the facility and services.

1214
01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:43,760
 Okay.

1215
01:29:43,760 --> 01:29:47,880
 And then, uh, Ron, if you wouldn't mind, can you, could you show on the, on the site, uh,

1216
01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:54,360
 or on the aerial map where the property itself, where the boundaries of the property and specifically

1217
01:29:54,360 --> 01:30:00,720
 what I'm asking about is who owns the property south of, uh, of that, the, where that's tree

1218
01:30:00,720 --> 01:30:02,600
 stand is and everything else.

1219
01:30:02,600 --> 01:30:03,600
 Okay.

1220
01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:04,600
 I see them.

1221
01:30:04,600 --> 01:30:06,320
 I see the property site there.

1222
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:10,920
 This right here, I'll try and see if I can find a better, this is probably the best of

1223
01:30:10,920 --> 01:30:11,920
 this.

1224
01:30:11,920 --> 01:30:16,200
 While you're searching for the image Ron, um, Singing Oaks is the owner of the property.

1225
01:30:16,200 --> 01:30:17,200
 Okay.

1226
01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:19,800
 The, uh, um, the property south of it.

1227
01:30:19,800 --> 01:30:20,800
 That's right here.

1228
01:30:20,800 --> 01:30:21,800
 Yes.

1229
01:30:21,800 --> 01:30:22,800
 That's correct.

1230
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:23,800
 Gotcha.

1231
01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:24,800
 Okay.

1232
01:30:24,800 --> 01:30:27,680
 Um, there are plans to develop that piece of piece of land at any point in time.

1233
01:30:27,680 --> 01:30:35,160
 We've seen a number of applications, um, from a church to some, some, um, multifamily development,

1234
01:30:35,160 --> 01:30:40,380
 but they've all just been proposals and not have, haven't seen anything, um, other than

1235
01:30:40,380 --> 01:30:41,380
 a pre-application.

1236
01:30:41,380 --> 01:30:42,380
 Okay.

1237
01:30:42,380 --> 01:30:49,320
 Uh, and then my bigger point about this, uh, served in is 0.6 miles away from this site.

1238
01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:54,160
 So in my opinion, as a commissioner, I would see that, you know, if we're putting, we're

1239
01:30:54,160 --> 01:30:59,280
 putting in a shelter for those who are experiencing homelessness somewhere in the city, that's

1240
01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:04,600
 a pretty, pretty good spot to put it, um, which is probably why Danny and her team and

1241
01:31:04,600 --> 01:31:08,480
 everybody else, you guys are moving it that way because there's a, the second largest

1242
01:31:08,480 --> 01:31:14,600
 health and human services center in the state of Texas is a half mile away from this location.

1243
01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:18,080
 What my question is, is I'm looking at aerial maps and zooming in.

1244
01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:24,240
 It doesn't look like there is really good public, um, I say public transportation.

1245
01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:25,240
 I'm not talking about DCTA.

1246
01:31:25,240 --> 01:31:31,120
 Any type of public access, uh, around there, I mean, sidewalks pretty much stop there at

1247
01:31:31,120 --> 01:31:37,080
 that senior property line there, I don't know about, about crosswalks to get from the west

1248
01:31:37,080 --> 01:31:42,240
 side to the east side of 288 as served in is on the east side where a lot of those health

1249
01:31:42,240 --> 01:31:47,160
 and human services that people using this, this, the shelter would probably need to go

1250
01:31:47,160 --> 01:31:49,640
 and visit and be seen at.

1251
01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:52,000
 So can you talk to me a little bit about, I know you mentioned some stuff about the

1252
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:57,960
 transportation, but can you give me some context about where we can put in sidewalks, what

1253
01:31:57,960 --> 01:31:59,840
 we can do from, from, I don't know.

1254
01:31:59,840 --> 01:32:04,440
 That's really not even a zoning question, but it's going to come up later on, but before

1255
01:32:04,440 --> 01:32:09,600
 we go through and zone it with as many concerns there are there with, with the neighborhood

1256
01:32:09,600 --> 01:32:14,640
 and folks that own property around that, how are we going to make sure that, that folks,

1257
01:32:14,640 --> 01:32:20,040
 if we do approve this zoning can get to and from this rather than hopping on the bus and

1258
01:32:20,040 --> 01:32:24,520
 especially if it's a half mile walk down to served in, how can they get down to serve

1259
01:32:24,520 --> 01:32:30,480
 in without having to interrupt flow of traffic or some other issues there?

1260
01:32:30,480 --> 01:32:34,320
 I'll try to answer the first part of that question and then Danny can probably answer

1261
01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:35,320
 the second part.

1262
01:32:35,320 --> 01:32:40,640
 As far as the, the crossing, unfortunately, this is a textile roadway and any crossing

1263
01:32:40,640 --> 01:32:44,200
 would probably have to happen at an intersection.

1264
01:32:44,200 --> 01:32:48,140
 That being said, I know that Danny has been in conversation with some of our staff in

1265
01:32:48,140 --> 01:32:53,360
 regards to sidewalks and maybe she can give us a little bit update of where we are on

1266
01:32:53,360 --> 01:32:55,200
 that process.

1267
01:32:55,200 --> 01:32:58,320
 Yes, absolutely.

1268
01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:02,520
 We are looking at how the sidewalks can be increased in that area.

1269
01:33:02,520 --> 01:33:07,560
 Specifically, we're also considering in the interim, some sort of programmatic intervention

1270
01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:12,840
 like shuttles that go between the two facilities that would eliminate the need for that transportation

1271
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:17,120
 concerns specifically, as far as the access to the facility, we've already been working

1272
01:33:17,120 --> 01:33:21,360
 with streets traffic and with the folks running the mobility plan to see what solutions are

1273
01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:22,360
 available.

1274
01:33:22,360 --> 01:33:25,840
 Oh, this is a textile roadway.

1275
01:33:25,840 --> 01:33:31,680
 They set the easements correct for sidewalks that that's that's correct.

1276
01:33:31,680 --> 01:33:33,520
 There's a certain right away with.

1277
01:33:33,520 --> 01:33:37,200
 So if it's already there, then obviously no reasons to be required.

1278
01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:42,120
 But if there is not a right, if not extended enough for sidewalks, then of course, there'll

1279
01:33:42,120 --> 01:33:44,360
 be a need for additional easements.

1280
01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:45,360
 Okay.

1281
01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:49,560
 And then being able to develop those easements that has to be a request to tax dot and then

1282
01:33:49,560 --> 01:33:53,760
 tax that would actually do that correct, the city would have no power to be able to build

1283
01:33:53,760 --> 01:33:58,480
 those because the text on Broadway, therefore, that'd be a textile project.

1284
01:33:58,480 --> 01:34:01,520
 It could be something that we can partner with text that obviously they would need to

1285
01:34:01,520 --> 01:34:02,520
 approve it.

1286
01:34:02,520 --> 01:34:07,880
 And it certainly can be a project that the city can can partner with or can be the prime,

1287
01:34:07,880 --> 01:34:11,640
 but certainly text that we need to be involved.

1288
01:34:11,640 --> 01:34:13,280
 Okay.

1289
01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:22,320
 Yeah, the project as a whole makes sense and I would be I'm supportive of just from a general

1290
01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:23,320
 standpoint.

1291
01:34:23,320 --> 01:34:30,520
 But the questions of sidewalks and really a lot of the concerns that that the citizens

1292
01:34:30,520 --> 01:34:37,960
 have put forth are valid, that, you know, having having some sort of way that and Danny,

1293
01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:41,480
 thank you for you guys already working through to try to get some sort of shuttle service

1294
01:34:41,480 --> 01:34:42,480
 there.

1295
01:34:42,480 --> 01:34:48,440
 You know, people walking up to the shelter and we see that at Salvation Army, they, they,

1296
01:34:48,440 --> 01:34:53,200
 they show up whenever and they get in line whenever and even a shelter service wouldn't

1297
01:34:53,200 --> 01:34:54,200
 be all encompassing.

1298
01:34:54,200 --> 01:35:02,960
 And so some sort of public access for sidewalks, at least down to the other end of that that

1299
01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:06,960
 singing oats property where there are sidewalks that do begin, it looks like about halfway

1300
01:35:06,960 --> 01:35:14,000
 through the seniors property that it they could cross over in front of FEMA and there's

1301
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:18,480
 not really a intersection there I guess so there there could be a way for them to get

1302
01:35:18,480 --> 01:35:22,520
 across at least maybe all the way down the market street, but there needs to be some

1303
01:35:22,520 --> 01:35:23,960
 sort of sidewalks there.

1304
01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:28,520
 So I don't know if I'd feel comfortable with zoning it without at least putting in some

1305
01:35:28,520 --> 01:35:34,560
 sort of overlay of requirement for us to pursue sidewalks and exploring those easements before

1306
01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:42,680
 we move forward with the reason that's the that's all I have here.

1307
01:35:42,680 --> 01:35:44,240
 Great.

1308
01:35:44,240 --> 01:35:45,240
 Thank you.

1309
01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:48,400
 Commissioner Ellis.

1310
01:35:48,400 --> 01:35:49,400
 Thank you, Chair.

1311
01:35:49,400 --> 01:35:50,400
 Okay.

1312
01:35:50,400 --> 01:35:51,400
 Okay.

1313
01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:54,280
 So from my understanding, I mean, this is just like any other thing.

1314
01:35:54,280 --> 01:35:57,360
 We're looking at a zoning, a rezone.

1315
01:35:57,360 --> 01:36:00,240
 We are not approving a homeless shelter as I understand it.

1316
01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:01,240
 Correct.

1317
01:36:01,240 --> 01:36:02,240
 That is correct.

1318
01:36:02,240 --> 01:36:03,240
 Okay.

1319
01:36:03,240 --> 01:36:06,920
 So my question is, I know that is a proposed use here.

1320
01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:11,280
 So with our use specific standards that are in place in the code.

1321
01:36:11,280 --> 01:36:16,520
 I mean, knowing this is not being initiated by a third person, which is seems how these

1322
01:36:16,520 --> 01:36:21,280
 use specific standards are set up, it's being initiated by the city.

1323
01:36:21,280 --> 01:36:23,080
 Do any of these apply?

1324
01:36:23,080 --> 01:36:27,020
 So is there going to be a public hearing with regard to building a homeless shelter?

1325
01:36:27,020 --> 01:36:29,080
 If this rezoning takes place?

1326
01:36:29,080 --> 01:36:34,920
 I'm going to see if Danny can answer that question.

1327
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:39,400
 Actually, I would kind of toss it back to you, Ron.

1328
01:36:39,400 --> 01:36:43,720
 I don't believe there would be any requirement for us to have a public hearing on the use

1329
01:36:43,720 --> 01:36:44,720
 since it's permitted.

1330
01:36:44,720 --> 01:36:47,880
 Maybe Richard can help.

1331
01:36:47,880 --> 01:36:48,880
 That's correct.

1332
01:36:48,880 --> 01:36:51,160
 There wouldn't be a separate SUP.

1333
01:36:51,160 --> 01:36:54,720
 So it would just be the rezoning that's being considered.

1334
01:36:54,720 --> 01:36:56,320
 Okay.

1335
01:36:56,320 --> 01:36:58,920
 And so what about like the posting of the notices?

1336
01:36:58,920 --> 01:37:05,400
 I guess what I'm asking is, because it's the city, do any of these use specific standards,

1337
01:37:05,400 --> 01:37:15,000
 do any of these apply to the city that we have in here at, what is it, 534C?

1338
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:29,640
 Hold that up real quick.

1339
01:37:29,640 --> 01:37:44,960
 Thanks.

1340
01:37:44,960 --> 01:37:50,320
 So yes, anything that, and I'll have to read this in greater detail, but just off initial

1341
01:37:50,320 --> 01:37:55,600
 reaction or initial response is that, obviously the separation is something that we would

1342
01:37:55,600 --> 01:37:57,840
 have to comply with.

1343
01:37:57,840 --> 01:38:05,160
 The notices, obviously we're the governing body, so we would already have known that.

1344
01:38:05,160 --> 01:38:08,600
 So that's something that's not probably going to apply.

1345
01:38:08,600 --> 01:38:15,200
 And then the number three as well, since we're the municipal consent, we would obviously

1346
01:38:15,200 --> 01:38:18,440
 be the ones providing that response.

1347
01:38:18,440 --> 01:38:24,760
 So I think one would definitely be something that we would need to comply with.

1348
01:38:24,760 --> 01:38:29,680
 And then two and three is something that we already, as being part of the city, would

1349
01:38:29,680 --> 01:38:34,920
 not most likely have a need to certainly respond or comply with.

1350
01:38:34,920 --> 01:38:38,880
 But I would say number one for sure, separation.

1351
01:38:38,880 --> 01:38:39,880
 Okay.

1352
01:38:39,880 --> 01:38:46,320
 But not, so like we're 3A where it talks about the public hearing for the construction operation.

1353
01:38:46,320 --> 01:38:52,320
 So that would not have to be complied with because the city is initiating this?

1354
01:38:52,320 --> 01:38:54,800
 That's my understanding.

1355
01:38:54,800 --> 01:38:59,720
 And I guess why I'm asking and why I don't necessarily like your answer at the moment

1356
01:38:59,720 --> 01:39:06,060
 is all of this talk so far and what we've heard from comments and what Danny has shared

1357
01:39:06,060 --> 01:39:12,160
 and all of that, it's all really good discussion and points and things that are going forward.

1358
01:39:12,160 --> 01:39:16,520
 But we have no, I mean, when is that going to, how can we make sure that continues?

1359
01:39:16,520 --> 01:39:19,120
 Today we're looking at a zoning, a rezoning.

1360
01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:20,720
 So we're not looking at any of this.

1361
01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:28,560
 So I'm trying to figure out how, if this is going to be then proposed, and as a city,

1362
01:39:28,560 --> 01:39:33,520
 we don't have to go by these use specific standards, which would be how we would bring

1363
01:39:33,520 --> 01:39:39,160
 the public together to further discuss this facility.

1364
01:39:39,160 --> 01:39:46,080
 I'm confused at maybe not.

1365
01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:47,080
 It would be required.

1366
01:39:47,080 --> 01:39:48,080
 It is that P plus.

1367
01:39:48,080 --> 01:39:51,040
 So those standards would apply.

1368
01:39:51,040 --> 01:39:52,600
 Okay.

1369
01:39:52,600 --> 01:39:58,640
 So now all, so all the use specific standards do apply.

1370
01:39:58,640 --> 01:39:59,640
 Correct.

1371
01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:00,640
 Obviously municipal consent.

1372
01:40:00,640 --> 01:40:04,720
 We wouldn't have to seek it because we are the, we are the applicant.

1373
01:40:04,720 --> 01:40:05,720
 Okay.

1374
01:40:05,720 --> 01:40:06,720
 Right.

1375
01:40:06,720 --> 01:40:11,480
 So then that would take away that entire paragraph would not be necessary is what you're saying.

1376
01:40:11,480 --> 01:40:12,480
 Correct.

1377
01:40:12,480 --> 01:40:13,480
 Let me go back.

1378
01:40:13,480 --> 01:40:14,480
 So you would.

1379
01:40:14,480 --> 01:40:15,480
 Yeah.

1380
01:40:15,480 --> 01:40:25,480
 Okay.

1381
01:40:25,480 --> 01:40:54,080
 So commissioner analysis, yeah, there, there are some parts of the notices that where it

1382
01:40:54,080 --> 01:40:58,520
 says post on the location, right?

1383
01:40:58,520 --> 01:41:03,280
 That's certainly something that we could, we can do.

1384
01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:08,680
 I think some of the other parts of the notices, obviously we would already be at, we would

1385
01:41:08,680 --> 01:41:12,320
 already have been given notice, but I think it's, it's a combination.

1386
01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:19,160
 It depends on, on which particular use specific standard and if it applies, we'll certainly

1387
01:41:19,160 --> 01:41:21,800
 do what is required.

1388
01:41:21,800 --> 01:41:26,560
 Okay, and I guess that's what I was asking for clarification of what was required.

1389
01:41:26,560 --> 01:41:30,360
 But yeah, I'll read further this and see if I have any more questions when we get there.

1390
01:41:30,360 --> 01:41:31,360
 Okay.

1391
01:41:31,360 --> 01:41:32,360
 Thank you.

1392
01:41:32,360 --> 01:41:33,360
 We will do the same.

1393
01:41:33,360 --> 01:41:34,360
 Thanks.

1394
01:41:34,360 --> 01:41:40,640
 Chair, if I may add something, I think to commissioner Smith had a question about the sidewalks.

1395
01:41:40,640 --> 01:41:43,280
 There is a development that's in review now.

1396
01:41:43,280 --> 01:41:47,480
 One of our traffic engineers just pointed out that they are going through the platting

1397
01:41:47,480 --> 01:41:48,480
 phase.

1398
01:41:48,480 --> 01:41:53,120
 It's the by right development, so they will, as a requirement, have to install sidewalks

1399
01:41:53,120 --> 01:41:54,120
 to the south.

1400
01:41:54,120 --> 01:42:00,880
 It's going to connect, he said, to, well, it connected directly to the, I'm just looking

1401
01:42:00,880 --> 01:42:06,400
 at the aerial view on Google maps here, guys, so nothing, nothing scientific.

1402
01:42:06,400 --> 01:42:10,980
 But there are, there are sidewalks all the way up until that driveway that's on the south

1403
01:42:10,980 --> 01:42:13,120
 side of that, of that property.

1404
01:42:13,120 --> 01:42:16,960
 So they'll have to connect into that driveway at the very least then to continue on the

1405
01:42:16,960 --> 01:42:17,960
 sidewalks.

1406
01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:18,960
 Correct.

1407
01:42:18,960 --> 01:42:24,560
 That, that, that whole length of that development would ultimately connect, I think where the

1408
01:42:24,560 --> 01:42:29,600
 apartment is, well, there is a sidewalk there, so ultimately it would connect to that apartment

1409
01:42:29,600 --> 01:42:30,600
 down there.

1410
01:42:30,600 --> 01:42:31,600
 Okay.

1411
01:42:31,600 --> 01:42:32,600
 Correct.

1412
01:42:32,600 --> 01:42:33,600
 All right.

1413
01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:34,600
 Got it.

1414
01:42:34,600 --> 01:42:35,600
 When was that platting?

1415
01:42:35,600 --> 01:42:36,600
 Do you have a?

1416
01:42:36,600 --> 01:42:45,560
 I believe it's Julie's project, she, they're, they're on zoning compliance plan review

1417
01:42:45,560 --> 01:42:48,240
 now after that platting will be forthcoming.

1418
01:42:48,240 --> 01:42:49,240
 Okay.

1419
01:42:49,240 --> 01:42:53,480
 And can you work with traffic to let me know or just tell us in public, 'cause when I look

1420
01:42:53,480 --> 01:42:58,280
 at it once again, I'm not scientific here, guys, just a real simpleton, I'm typing in,

1421
01:42:58,280 --> 01:43:03,440
 I go from, I go from the, the subject property down to serve Denton, click, search, click,

1422
01:43:03,440 --> 01:43:06,960
 click directions, and I click that I'm walking, and it eventually tells me that I need to

1423
01:43:06,960 --> 01:43:07,960
 cross.

1424
01:43:07,960 --> 01:43:11,600
 But as I look at it on loop 288, there's not an intersection that's not, that's not

1425
01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:16,640
 controlled by a light until we get all the way down to McKinney.

1426
01:43:16,640 --> 01:43:23,840
 And so just for a, you know, just for knowing that we don't want people running across loop

1427
01:43:23,840 --> 01:43:29,600
 288 with no controlled crosswalks, are there any crosswalks and traffic mobility or any

1428
01:43:29,600 --> 01:43:34,520
 type of stoplights there in the process that are with, that the city's working with, for

1429
01:43:34,520 --> 01:43:39,360
 us to know that there's going to be a traffic light there that can have a crosswalk incorporated

1430
01:43:39,360 --> 01:43:43,880
 and if not, what does that process?

1431
01:43:43,880 --> 01:43:49,760
 I know Chandra's on the phone, perhaps he could provide some guidance or input.

1432
01:43:49,760 --> 01:44:17,600
 I don't know if you are muted, if you are trying to speak.

1433
01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:23,440
 While we wait for him to kind of connect in, Mr. Smith, looks like Mukesh, Mukesh is popping

1434
01:44:23,440 --> 01:44:24,440
 on.

1435
01:44:24,440 --> 01:44:25,440
 I reset it.

1436
01:44:25,440 --> 01:44:26,440
 I'm unmuted right now.

1437
01:44:26,440 --> 01:44:27,440
 Alright.

1438
01:44:27,440 --> 01:44:28,440
 Okay.

1439
01:44:28,440 --> 01:44:29,440
 Can you hear me?

1440
01:44:29,440 --> 01:44:30,440
 Yes.

1441
01:44:30,440 --> 01:44:31,440
 Good afternoon.

1442
01:44:31,440 --> 01:44:32,440
 This is Chandra.

1443
01:44:32,440 --> 01:44:40,880
 Regarding the traffic light on loop 288 next to this project, soon after the Audra lane

1444
01:44:40,880 --> 01:44:47,480
 is realigned, there will be a signal light at the Prominence, Audra, and loop 288.

1445
01:44:47,480 --> 01:44:53,360
 It's development-driven once all this development happens.

1446
01:44:53,360 --> 01:44:57,560
 And that'll happen, do you know, about when?

1447
01:44:57,560 --> 01:45:03,200
 The timeline is uncertain right now.

1448
01:45:03,200 --> 01:45:09,600
 It should happen once the Audra lane along with the DME project gets realigned and there

1449
01:45:09,600 --> 01:45:16,760
 will be a four-legged intersection at Prominence, Audra, and 288 and that will drive the signal.

1450
01:45:16,760 --> 01:45:17,760
 Okay.

1451
01:45:17,760 --> 01:45:22,800
 Well, then that makes this whole Southern property conversation not even really a conversation

1452
01:45:22,800 --> 01:45:27,320
 then, Richard, because that Prominence lane is north of that subject property.

1453
01:45:27,320 --> 01:45:32,800
 So you're basically diverting, if they were to use a crosswalk there, that they wouldn't

1454
01:45:32,800 --> 01:45:33,800
 even go south.

1455
01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:40,120
 They would go north and then have to walk through whatever those land is north of DPS

1456
01:45:40,120 --> 01:45:41,120
 to get down.

1457
01:45:41,120 --> 01:45:45,440
 And then there's not a sidewalk until you get in front of DPS and FEMA.

1458
01:45:45,440 --> 01:45:52,000
 So okay, well, I don't think I'm really going to get any answers from this, so we'll just

1459
01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:56,320
 move on along.

1460
01:45:56,320 --> 01:45:57,320
 Chris, you're back.

1461
01:45:57,320 --> 01:45:58,320
 Thank you.

1462
01:45:58,320 --> 01:45:59,320
 Thank you.

1463
01:45:59,320 --> 01:46:03,320
 While we have our traffic engineers still in the system, I hope they're still there.

1464
01:46:03,320 --> 01:46:05,320
 Yes.

1465
01:46:05,320 --> 01:46:07,680
 I know this is a text-dot road.

1466
01:46:07,680 --> 01:46:14,520
 Do we, are there, are there, you know, I've seen pedestrian-only crosswalks, well, all

1467
01:46:14,520 --> 01:46:22,240
 crosswalks are pedestrian, but pedestrian crosswalks that are not associated with lights

1468
01:46:22,240 --> 01:46:29,000
 in other locations on similar sized roads, is that something that is available to Texas?

1469
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:37,480
 Yes, we can certainly look at if there is sizable number of pedestrians, then we can

1470
01:46:37,480 --> 01:46:43,440
 use what we call the hawk, the pedestrian hybrid beacons, where the pedestrians activate

1471
01:46:43,440 --> 01:46:48,840
 when they want to cross and wait for the traffic to clear.

1472
01:46:48,840 --> 01:46:57,240
 And they can cross at mid-block locations like these facilities, but it will be something

1473
01:46:57,240 --> 01:47:01,400
 that we need to coordinate with the text-dot, where signals cannot be implemented.

1474
01:47:01,400 --> 01:47:09,480
 This is like an app, the traffic signal, that it will give them the time and safe way to

1475
01:47:09,480 --> 01:47:12,320
 cross those streets.

1476
01:47:12,320 --> 01:47:14,560
 So that's promising.

1477
01:47:14,560 --> 01:47:22,680
 It sounds good, like there is an opportunity for some mitigation of the need to cross 288.

1478
01:47:22,680 --> 01:47:27,760
 Yes, it needs to meet the threshold.

1479
01:47:27,760 --> 01:47:28,760
 That sounds good.

1480
01:47:28,760 --> 01:47:35,080
 Yes, it's specifically for the mid-block locations, and the threshold is minimum 20 pedestrians

1481
01:47:35,080 --> 01:47:39,840
 per hour, so then we can definitely consider it as a safety improvement.

1482
01:47:39,840 --> 01:47:47,680
 We can suggest to the text-dot, and we can coordinate with them for safety programs.

1483
01:47:47,680 --> 01:47:50,080
 Thank you very much.

1484
01:47:50,080 --> 01:47:51,080
 Welcome.

1485
01:47:51,080 --> 01:47:58,520
 Any other questions on this item?

1486
01:47:58,520 --> 01:48:01,760
 Seeing none, we'll move on to our final item on the agenda.

1487
01:48:01,760 --> 01:48:06,440
 I know I said there's a break at 5 o'clock, but if we can do one more item, we can just

1488
01:48:06,440 --> 01:48:07,440
 take a longer break altogether.

1489
01:48:07,440 --> 01:48:10,240
 Is there any opposition to that?

1490
01:48:10,240 --> 01:48:23,200
 Okay, let's go ahead and move on to item 5, DS 20-0001, and this is Ron's item again.

1491
01:48:23,200 --> 01:48:37,400
 And you have the floor.

1492
01:48:37,400 --> 01:48:40,720
 You are muted.

1493
01:48:40,720 --> 01:48:41,720
 Sorry for that.

1494
01:48:41,720 --> 01:48:43,080
 Good afternoon.

1495
01:48:43,080 --> 01:48:51,320
 This is a specific use permit application for the Mockingbird Multifamily Proposed Development.

1496
01:48:51,320 --> 01:48:57,880
 As you can see on this slide here, it may seem familiar, it is about a year and a half

1497
01:48:57,880 --> 01:49:06,200
 ago or so, the Planning Zoning Commission that is considered this subject site for a

1498
01:49:06,200 --> 01:49:08,200
 specific use permit.

1499
01:49:08,200 --> 01:49:12,760
 The specific use permit is to allow for the multifamily use.

1500
01:49:12,760 --> 01:49:20,400
 The applicant is currently seeking a new SUP because of a change in their site plan, in

1501
01:49:20,400 --> 01:49:27,040
 their development program, in their landscape plan and others.

1502
01:49:27,040 --> 01:49:35,320
 The proposed development will have approximately 149 dwelling units with six buildings, a clubhouse

1503
01:49:35,320 --> 01:49:38,720
 and 250 associated parking spaces.

1504
01:49:38,720 --> 01:49:44,560
 Again, it's generally there located on Mingo and Mockingbird.

1505
01:49:44,560 --> 01:49:49,400
 I'm going to run through these first few slides.

1506
01:49:49,400 --> 01:49:55,440
 The land use element identifies this area as a moderate residential.

1507
01:49:55,440 --> 01:50:03,240
 The moderate residential is described here, bulleted, as 4 to 12 dwelling units per acre,

1508
01:50:03,240 --> 01:50:10,720
 low rise multifamily dwellings, and then the very consciousness to maintain the style,

1509
01:50:10,720 --> 01:50:15,840
 the scale, the style and the building orientation of the area and have a transition so that

1510
01:50:15,840 --> 01:50:21,840
 it creates a buffer between the higher intense uses.

1511
01:50:21,840 --> 01:50:29,520
 The current zoning per the 2019 Development Code, as it was put into effect in 2019, is

1512
01:50:29,520 --> 01:50:31,820
 now R7.

1513
01:50:31,820 --> 01:50:39,520
 The R7 requires a specific use permit under the Zoning District for multifamily.

1514
01:50:39,520 --> 01:50:46,440
 Maximum building height is 40, maximum building coverage for R7 is 65% and then there are

1515
01:50:46,440 --> 01:50:51,040
 other requirements related to parking, landscaping and tree preservation.

1516
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:56,920
 I just want to make note that under the 2019 Development Code, there are no requirements

1517
01:50:56,920 --> 01:51:04,500
 or maximum densities, therefore the development must comply with all other development standards.

1518
01:51:04,500 --> 01:51:11,820
 So the reason why we're here this evening again is because per the approved SUP back

1519
01:51:11,820 --> 01:51:20,640
 on July 16, 2019, the City Council, as part of the Planning Zoning Commission's recommendation,

1520
01:51:20,640 --> 01:51:27,800
 approved a specific use permit with conditions and the conditions speak to the ability to

1521
01:51:27,800 --> 01:51:33,280
 make some changes that staff can approve, however that can only increase or decrease

1522
01:51:33,280 --> 01:51:35,520
 by 5%.

1523
01:51:35,520 --> 01:51:42,840
 What we're seeing is obviously a greater amount of change in what they're proposing, therefore

1524
01:51:42,840 --> 01:51:50,480
 a staff ability to approve a change we would not be able to, therefore the applicant is

1525
01:51:50,480 --> 01:51:57,640
 seeking a new specific use permit for the new use that they're proposing.

1526
01:51:57,640 --> 01:52:05,320
 So this slide here illustrates what was approved under the 2019 SUP and what they are seeking

1527
01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:13,680
 today as far as the new development, you can see by way of these columns, the difference

1528
01:52:13,680 --> 01:52:18,320
 in the Development Code, the difference in zoning, they still share obviously the same

1529
01:52:18,320 --> 01:52:27,860
 area, 9.91 acres, they are reducing the number of buildings from 12 to 6, they are increasing

1530
01:52:27,860 --> 01:52:35,080
 the square footage of the total square footage, this accounts for all buildings and clubhouse,

1531
01:52:35,080 --> 01:52:42,960
 the number of units increases from 118 to 149, but I want to make mention that most

1532
01:52:42,960 --> 01:52:48,280
 of that increase is now because of one bedroom versus two to three bedroom units that they

1533
01:52:48,280 --> 01:52:57,880
 had proposed prior, the number of bedrooms you can see here has dropped from 343 to 202,

1534
01:52:57,880 --> 01:53:02,740
 and again because they're going from one bedroom units versus the three and the two bedroom

1535
01:53:02,740 --> 01:53:08,200
 units as initially proposed, as a result of the number of units or number of bedrooms

1536
01:53:08,200 --> 01:53:15,800
 that is dropping, their required parking spaces has also dropped from 375 which was required

1537
01:53:15,800 --> 01:53:25,080
 to now 250 parking spaces, their impervious surface has also dropped by 3%, their landscape

1538
01:53:25,080 --> 01:53:32,080
 area has increased, their tree canopy has also increased, and their lot versus building

1539
01:53:32,080 --> 01:53:39,160
 coverage has changed, this is difficult to compare because one is lot and one is building,

1540
01:53:39,160 --> 01:53:44,680
 and then the preservation is also difficult to compare because one is 2002 and one is

1541
01:53:44,680 --> 01:53:52,120
 2019, but overall I think what we have focused on in our staff analysis is the number of

1542
01:53:52,120 --> 01:54:00,040
 units, number of bedrooms, and number of parking spaces as well as the landscape requirements.

1543
01:54:00,040 --> 01:54:07,000
 This here illustrates what is approved or what was approved under the 2019, you can

1544
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:13,200
 see that there are more buildings and more services for parking, they actually provided

1545
01:54:13,200 --> 01:54:20,720
 the buffer and the landscaping, but you can see there's a lot more impervious under the

1546
01:54:20,720 --> 01:54:27,600
 old SUP or the current SUP that is, with the new SUP they're consolidating a lot more,

1547
01:54:27,600 --> 01:54:33,040
 they've only have six buildings, they have the center located open space, they have provided

1548
01:54:33,040 --> 01:54:38,680
 additional open space here, landscaping and tree preservation, as a result of that they

1549
01:54:38,680 --> 01:54:45,840
 are also again meeting the buffer requirements as per the development code.

1550
01:54:45,840 --> 01:54:51,920
 Real quickly this is their proposed site plan, just to help illustrate a little bit more,

1551
01:54:51,920 --> 01:54:57,560
 this is where the parking is going to be located, and the main center of the site will be dedicated

1552
01:54:57,560 --> 01:55:01,640
 for open space, dedicated for the residents.

1553
01:55:01,640 --> 01:55:06,800
 There's also the clubhouse located in this vicinity.

1554
01:55:06,800 --> 01:55:11,520
 They meet the landscape requirements as far as meeting the minimum landscape area, the

1555
01:55:11,520 --> 01:55:18,200
 minimum tree canopy cover, they also meet the requirements per the DDC, they also provide

1556
01:55:18,200 --> 01:55:25,000
 the buffer and the open space and the landscape points per again the DDC.

1557
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:30,600
 Tree preservation is an important part, there are lots of trees on this site and they are

1558
01:55:30,600 --> 01:55:37,580
 providing that minimum 30% as you can see from this illustration along the north side

1559
01:55:37,580 --> 01:55:43,120
 of the property, there are some along the middle and then the rest are along the south

1560
01:55:43,120 --> 01:55:47,440
 side of the project.

1561
01:55:47,440 --> 01:55:53,480
 Similar to the other application we considered, we discussed the section of the development

1562
01:55:53,480 --> 01:56:00,040
 code that speaks to all applications as shown here, these are the 13 criteria for approval,

1563
01:56:00,040 --> 01:56:04,780
 again consistent with the comprehensive plan, minimize adverse impacts to surrounding property

1564
01:56:04,780 --> 01:56:09,320
 and then does the proposed use, will it provide the adequate public services.

1565
01:56:09,320 --> 01:56:14,640
 I focus on these because I think these are specifically important in how we look at the

1566
01:56:14,640 --> 01:56:19,240
 impact to the area.

1567
01:56:19,240 --> 01:56:25,360
 Also specifically to specific use permits, there are also six approval criteria, very

1568
01:56:25,360 --> 01:56:33,800
 similar to the ones that apply to all applications, again compatible with surrounding areas, minimal

1569
01:56:33,800 --> 01:56:39,000
 impacts to future development, meets all the development standards which I briefly went

1570
01:56:39,000 --> 01:56:46,400
 through, provides adequate services and if not adequately mitigated, is conformance with

1571
01:56:46,400 --> 01:56:52,120
 the comprehensive plan, as we said earlier, it is designated as moderate residential,

1572
01:56:52,120 --> 01:56:58,560
 so a higher density or higher dwelling units per acre and it does not adversely impact

1573
01:56:58,560 --> 01:57:04,000
 the health, safety and welfare of the city's inhabitants.

1574
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:08,120
 Just to help illustrate what's surrounding this site, the area in red is obviously what

1575
01:57:08,120 --> 01:57:15,240
 we're looking at, we have University, Mingo, Audra and Mockingbird, Mockingbird is the main

1576
01:57:15,240 --> 01:57:24,080
 find here in the general vicinity, we've got a number of neighborhood residential developments,

1577
01:57:24,080 --> 01:57:29,800
 specifically to the south is the Bel Air North addition where we've heard a number of folks

1578
01:57:29,800 --> 01:57:37,560
 speak on this item in the past, we have heard from one and we continue to hear from others,

1579
01:57:37,560 --> 01:57:41,000
 again expressing their concerns.

1580
01:57:41,000 --> 01:57:48,880
 The mobility plan shown here shows the site abutting a collector road on Mockingbird which

1581
01:57:48,880 --> 01:57:55,200
 is Mockingbird and then Mingo which is across the railroad tracks is a secondary arterial,

1582
01:57:55,200 --> 01:58:01,300
 I will note that both Mingo and Mockingbird are not built to the roadway classification

1583
01:58:01,300 --> 01:58:08,480
 with, but again under a mobility plan that's what it's planned for in the future.

1584
01:58:08,480 --> 01:58:14,680
 I won't go through this list, but I just wanted to highlight specifically again our SQP analysis

1585
01:58:14,680 --> 01:58:20,640
 which is part of the backup, went through those approval criteria, there was a traffic

1586
01:58:20,640 --> 01:58:26,560
 impact analysis that was prepared, there was one prepared from the 2019, a new one was

1587
01:58:26,560 --> 01:58:32,980
 also prepared for the current proposal and based on that TIA, it was determined that

1588
01:58:32,980 --> 01:58:38,400
 mitigation measures were required in the form of two right turn lanes which the applicant

1589
01:58:38,400 --> 01:58:44,080
 is including in their development, there was a flood study, based on that flood study there

1590
01:58:44,080 --> 01:58:50,200
 are no adverse impact as a result of the proposed development and again based on what staff

1591
01:58:50,200 --> 01:58:54,700
 has reviewed on the preliminary or proposed site plan and landscape plan, they meet all

1592
01:58:54,700 --> 01:59:02,480
 of the different development regulations and standards under the 2019 development code.

1593
01:59:02,480 --> 01:59:08,280
 Notifications were sent out similar to what was done in the past, we again have heard

1594
01:59:08,280 --> 01:59:13,640
 from one property owner who lives just south of the subject site on Stockton Street who

1595
01:59:13,640 --> 01:59:21,040
 is in opposition, have not marked it yet but he is generally in this area here, as of this

1596
01:59:21,040 --> 01:59:29,560
 afternoon that's the only one that I've received regarding this application or this project.

1597
01:59:29,560 --> 01:59:37,400
 There was a virtual meeting held by the applicant on July 16th and July 20th this summer to

1598
01:59:37,400 --> 01:59:43,120
 talk about the difference between the old or the current and what is being proposed.

1599
01:59:43,120 --> 01:59:47,880
 That summary of that meeting was included in your backup, I know that between the two

1600
01:59:47,880 --> 01:59:53,800
 meetings there were about five or six total so there wasn't a lot of people in the meetings

1601
01:59:53,800 --> 02:00:00,160
 but there were still some folks there that again were informed of what was being proposed

1602
02:00:00,160 --> 02:00:05,120
 and had some questions and they were answered by the applicant.

1603
02:00:05,120 --> 02:00:12,640
 Staff is recommending approval of this request under again per the approval criteria under

1604
02:00:12,640 --> 02:00:14,460
 the development code.

1605
02:00:14,460 --> 02:00:21,580
 We are also proposing conditions as part of the specific use permit similar to what was

1606
02:00:21,580 --> 02:00:30,680
 approved in 2019 in that the applicant under the approve if approved site plan and landscape

1607
02:00:30,680 --> 02:00:38,960
 plan will be included in the ordinance and as before any changes could happen as long

1608
02:00:38,960 --> 02:00:48,400
 as they don't exceed 5% increase or decrease the project itself has been updated to reflect

1609
02:00:48,400 --> 02:00:56,620
 what is currently proposed so again six buildings, 149 dwelling units and 250 parking spaces

1610
02:00:56,620 --> 02:01:01,880
 so that is what they are proposing and that's what will be part of the ordinance if again

1611
02:01:01,880 --> 02:01:06,580
 this gets to City Council for approval.

1612
02:01:06,580 --> 02:01:12,160
 With that I will stand for any questions and go from there.

1613
02:01:12,160 --> 02:01:14,120
 Commissioner Beck.

1614
02:01:14,120 --> 02:01:16,080
 Commissioner Smith had his hand up first chair.

1615
02:01:16,080 --> 02:01:17,080
 Oh okay.

1616
02:01:17,080 --> 02:01:18,080
 Commissioner Smith.

1617
02:01:18,080 --> 02:01:21,440
 Thank you Commissioner Beck, sweetheart you are.

1618
02:01:21,440 --> 02:01:27,720
 Ron, quick question, a couple of questions here, what was the emphasis of the change

1619
02:01:27,720 --> 02:01:32,920
 from the approved SUP to the proposed SUP going down, I mean they go up in units I'm

1620
02:01:32,920 --> 02:01:37,600
 assuming it's more economically friendly for the developer but they give you any reasoning

1621
02:01:37,600 --> 02:01:38,600
 behind that?

1622
02:01:38,600 --> 02:01:45,480
 I don't, I can't say, obviously the applicant will be a part of the call later this afternoon

1623
02:01:45,480 --> 02:01:50,720
 and you can certainly ask that question but as far as the purpose of the new SUP and not

1624
02:01:50,720 --> 02:01:55,920
 necessarily amending it by staff is because of the condition that we can only approve

1625
02:01:55,920 --> 02:01:58,000
 an increase or decrease of five percent.

1626
02:01:58,000 --> 02:02:02,680
 Yeah of course, I didn't know why they were changing it, I can share that with you.

1627
02:02:02,680 --> 02:02:08,160
 We I know that's a proposed site plan not an actual site plan but do we even put proposed

1628
02:02:08,160 --> 02:02:15,360
 site plans up to fire and emergency services to review, I highly doubt it but.

1629
02:02:15,360 --> 02:02:22,680
 No, no well the SGP obviously because it is a site plan and that will be approved by ordinance,

1630
02:02:22,680 --> 02:02:27,120
 we made sure that our fire department and other engineering departments, also our other

1631
02:02:27,120 --> 02:02:31,640
 departments that is, were able to review it and provide comments so that if there are

1632
02:02:31,640 --> 02:02:35,440
 any changes that need to happen, they need to happen now before it gets approved by ordinance.

1633
02:02:35,440 --> 02:02:40,120
 I was just wondering because there's, it looked like the proposed site plan was pretty, had

1634
02:02:40,120 --> 02:02:43,800
 some pretty tight curves and whatnot and they're first for emergency services getting in there

1635
02:02:43,800 --> 02:02:46,520
 so I wanted to make sure there was no, no issues.

1636
02:02:46,520 --> 02:02:51,000
 Okay, sorry, sorry to get you out there, no they were able to review it and also our solid

1637
02:02:51,000 --> 02:02:55,320
 waste folks were also to review it so we want to make sure that our solid waste services

1638
02:02:55,320 --> 02:02:58,320
 were able to get in and get out.

1639
02:02:58,320 --> 02:03:00,080
 Okay, understood.

1640
02:03:00,080 --> 02:03:05,840
 And then they, by right they can still, if they wanted to, if this this SUP wasn't approved

1641
02:03:05,840 --> 02:03:10,240
 by right they can still develop underneath the currently approved SUP, correct?

1642
02:03:10,240 --> 02:03:11,240
 Correct.

1643
02:03:11,240 --> 02:03:16,120
 So two years and two years from July 16, 2019, otherwise they'll expire.

1644
02:03:16,120 --> 02:03:17,120
 Okay.

1645
02:03:17,120 --> 02:03:18,120
 All right.

1646
02:03:18,120 --> 02:03:19,120
 Thank you, Rob.

1647
02:03:19,120 --> 02:03:20,120
 Appreciate it.

1648
02:03:20,120 --> 02:03:21,120
 Christopher Beck.

1649
02:03:21,120 --> 02:03:22,120
 Thank you, Chair.

1650
02:03:22,120 --> 02:03:29,120
 So I want to say I like a lot of the changes that they've implemented and I like that they've

1651
02:03:29,120 --> 02:03:36,240
 updated to newer codes and there's a lot of, you know, good beneficial infill, but what

1652
02:03:36,240 --> 02:03:43,440
 concerned me and maybe do some deeper analysis was, you know, everything we see that's coming

1653
02:03:43,440 --> 02:03:49,760
 in along Mingo, I mean we know the Mobility Plan wants to connect downtown through Mingo

1654
02:03:49,760 --> 02:03:53,760
 on one side or the other, hopefully on the railroad track side if they can get the railroad

1655
02:03:53,760 --> 02:03:59,720
 to do it, but all the way up to Fish Trap and out to the lake and whatnot for trails,

1656
02:03:59,720 --> 02:04:05,960
 we're putting, there was another apartment just down the street next to the senior complex

1657
02:04:05,960 --> 02:04:13,120
 that wants to go in and the issue with all of these mobility issues, and it's germane

1658
02:04:13,120 --> 02:04:19,400
 to what Commissioner Smith just said, is Mingo is too small for the development that we're

1659
02:04:19,400 --> 02:04:26,200
 putting on it and so not only does it have public safety issues and right of way, future

1660
02:04:26,200 --> 02:04:32,600
 right of way development, if we want to expand that road to make it the arterial it needs

1661
02:04:32,600 --> 02:04:38,440
 to be with sidewalks and every other amenity that we clearly want to because we're trying

1662
02:04:38,440 --> 02:04:47,560
 to do it crudely anyway, what bothered me is putting additional load on that road and

1663
02:04:47,560 --> 02:04:53,840
 so in looking at this analysis, if you just actually literally take the site plan that

1664
02:04:53,840 --> 02:05:00,200
 you have and rotate the buildings 90 degrees, you move the apartment complexes another 20

1665
02:05:00,200 --> 02:05:11,000
 feet away from the Mingo providing opportunities for additional development right of way.

1666
02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:21,880
 And so, I mean, I'm very torn, I'm concerned about, I guess so my question to you Ron is,

1667
02:05:21,880 --> 02:05:28,700
 it doesn't feel like this actually meets future land use goals and future mobility plan goals

1668
02:05:28,700 --> 02:05:34,720
 for the layout it's there, even though I really like the infill and like the proposed plan

1669
02:05:34,720 --> 02:05:38,640
 in the central square and in fact, if you rotate the buildings 90 degrees, you actually

1670
02:05:38,640 --> 02:05:44,400
 get a bigger central square and about the same parking that's further away from Mingo.

1671
02:05:44,400 --> 02:05:52,040
 So I guess, does the question is, does it match our mobility goals and our right of

1672
02:05:52,040 --> 02:06:00,160
 way standards that layout I guess you're probably going to tell me yes, but I think that I think

1673
02:06:00,160 --> 02:06:06,640
 the layout is works I mean, obviously, we don't really have any control of how it's

1674
02:06:06,640 --> 02:06:10,040
 laid out as long as they meet the requirements that you know, the building orientation and

1675
02:06:10,040 --> 02:06:15,520
 this and this and that, but from what you're describing, I sense that you were talking

1676
02:06:15,520 --> 02:06:24,960
 about traffic or was it more pedestrian, because per the mobility plan collector and a second

1677
02:06:24,960 --> 02:06:32,520
 arterial, although the proposed project will be on a collector, I think that that is suitable

1678
02:06:32,520 --> 02:06:38,720
 for a collector street that use itself, the future land use shows it as a moderate residential

1679
02:06:38,720 --> 02:06:45,600
 area and along that particular area, stretch that is, please know that there's also the

1680
02:06:45,600 --> 02:06:50,960
 railroad tracks right that that also divides that so I think if you were looking at this

1681
02:06:50,960 --> 02:06:58,600
 particular property and the collector, I think the use or in the number of trips, maybe,

1682
02:06:58,600 --> 02:07:03,320
 will will will be is sufficient for for that particular roadway.

1683
02:07:03,320 --> 02:07:09,360
 So, so not so much that the southern road and mockingbird.

1684
02:07:09,360 --> 02:07:15,520
 But the, those are going to connect up and spill their residential traffic on Domingo.

1685
02:07:15,520 --> 02:07:18,320
 I mean, there's no, there's not really an outlay to the west.

1686
02:07:18,320 --> 02:07:22,040
 I mean, I guess you could try to meander through the neighborhoods and pop out one of those

1687
02:07:22,040 --> 02:07:27,920
 roads but by the, the storage facility or something but everyone's going to exit mockingbird

1688
02:07:27,920 --> 02:07:37,800
 on Domingo at that, where it turns into Old North there. And so, it's not so much those

1689
02:07:37,800 --> 02:07:42,840
 the the traffic flow patterns there but it's like that the increased traffic patterns at

1690
02:07:42,840 --> 02:07:44,840
 that intersection.

1691
02:07:44,840 --> 02:07:51,120
 I mean, I have to be careful I actually want like this development and I want to vote yes

1692
02:07:51,120 --> 02:08:02,360
 I'm concerned that the the actual layout of this is is is not the best layout for the

1693
02:08:02,360 --> 02:08:07,520
 the residents who would live there as well as the traffic of for these new residents

1694
02:08:07,520 --> 02:08:14,280
 and adjacent residents trying to exit mockingbird onto Domingo with considering the development

1695
02:08:14,280 --> 02:08:22,840
 of the Mingo corridor. So when the traffic analysis was that, did that include Mingo

1696
02:08:22,840 --> 02:08:25,160
 or just those those collectors?

1697
02:08:25,160 --> 02:08:28,320
 No, it included Mingo as well.

1698
02:08:28,320 --> 02:08:37,720
 All right, thank you, Ron.

1699
02:08:37,720 --> 02:08:39,880
 I muted myself, Commissioner Ellis.

1700
02:08:39,880 --> 02:08:43,040
 Thank you, Chair. Hey, Ron, just a really quick question.

1701
02:08:43,040 --> 02:08:44,720
 Is this the same developer?

1702
02:08:44,720 --> 02:08:47,120
 It is, same applicant, same developer, same engineer.

1703
02:08:47,120 --> 02:08:51,120
 Okay, good. I just want to make sure they were because then they heard all the neighborhood

1704
02:08:51,120 --> 02:08:53,720
 concerns before. Okay, thank you.

1705
02:08:53,720 --> 02:08:55,800
 You're welcome.

1706
02:08:55,800 --> 02:08:59,640
 Ron, the existing SGP, is that still current?

1707
02:08:59,640 --> 02:09:02,720
 It's current. They've got two years until it expires.

1708
02:09:02,720 --> 02:09:08,120
 So the the comparison of the project you showed, which was super helpful with the 12 buildings,

1709
02:09:08,120 --> 02:09:11,320
 they could just go build that. They could start construction on that now.

1710
02:09:11,320 --> 02:09:13,160
 That is my yes, that is correct.

1711
02:09:13,160 --> 02:09:17,840
 Okay, I just wanted to make sure what was on the table, the two alternatives basically

1712
02:09:17,840 --> 02:09:23,920
 is they wanted to go for the current project they could. They're bringing a different project

1713
02:09:23,920 --> 02:09:30,320
 that looks to me like an upgrade in all facets. Okay, I just wanted to make sure I was aware

1714
02:09:30,320 --> 02:09:31,320
 of that.

1715
02:09:31,320 --> 02:09:32,320
 Yes, sir.

1716
02:09:32,320 --> 02:09:34,920
 Is there any other questions for Ron on this item?

1717
02:09:34,920 --> 02:09:41,080
 Okay, well, that concludes our work session for planning and zoning today. We will have

1718
02:09:41,080 --> 02:09:54,400
 our public meeting at 630 right here. See y'all in a little less than an hour.

1719
02:09:54,400 --> 02:09:57,760
 Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the planning and zoning public meeting

1720
02:09:57,760 --> 02:10:03,040
 for Wednesday, October 7 2020. Seeing that we do have a quorum, I'll call this meeting

1721
02:10:03,040 --> 02:10:10,800
 to order at 632. The first item of business is to provide a Pledge of Allegiance to the

1722
02:10:10,800 --> 02:10:16,000
 US and Texas flag. So we'll do that first. If other commissioners want to unmute themselves

1723
02:10:16,000 --> 02:10:19,480
 to join, you may certainly do so.

1724
02:10:19,480 --> 02:10:26,160
 I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for

1725
02:10:26,160 --> 02:10:36,360
 which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

1726
02:10:36,360 --> 02:10:47,680
 I pledge allegiance to the Texas flag, one state, under God, one nation, under God, indivisible.

1727
02:10:47,680 --> 02:10:51,680
 The next item of business is consideration of our minutes from September 16th. Is there

1728
02:10:51,680 --> 02:10:53,480
 any notation? Commissioner Smith?

1729
02:10:53,480 --> 02:10:55,480
 Make a motion for approval.

1730
02:10:55,480 --> 02:10:58,040
 We have a first. Commissioner Ellis?

1731
02:10:58,040 --> 02:10:59,040
 Second.

1732
02:10:59,040 --> 02:11:04,400
 We have a first and a second for approval. Any discussion on the item?

1733
02:11:04,400 --> 02:11:09,000
 Seeing none, I'll call for a vote via roll call. Commissioner Beck?

1734
02:11:09,000 --> 02:11:10,000
 Aye.

1735
02:11:10,000 --> 02:11:11,000
 Commissioner Ellis?

1736
02:11:11,000 --> 02:11:12,000
 Aye.

1737
02:11:12,000 --> 02:11:13,000
 Commissioner Pernetta?

1738
02:11:13,000 --> 02:11:14,000
 Aye.

1739
02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:15,000
 Commissioner Anderson?

1740
02:11:15,000 --> 02:11:16,000
 Aye.

1741
02:11:16,000 --> 02:11:17,000
 Commissioner Smith?

1742
02:11:17,000 --> 02:11:18,000
 Aye.

1743
02:11:18,000 --> 02:11:19,000
 Commissioner Kohl?

1744
02:11:19,000 --> 02:11:20,000
 Aye.

1745
02:11:20,000 --> 02:11:24,000
 Chair is also an aye. Motion carries 7-0.

1746
02:11:24,000 --> 02:11:32,680
 The next item for business is the Consent Agenda. Commissioner Beck?

1747
02:11:32,680 --> 02:11:37,600
 I'd like to make a motion to approve, with the exception of Item C, which I'd like pulled

1748
02:11:37,600 --> 02:11:39,360
 up for individual consideration.

1749
02:11:39,360 --> 02:11:51,720
 Okay. We'll pull Item 3C. The motion is to approve Item 3A, 3B, 3D, and 3E. Commissioner

1750
02:11:51,720 --> 02:11:52,720
 Pernetta?

1751
02:11:52,720 --> 02:11:53,720
 I'll second.

1752
02:11:53,720 --> 02:11:57,960
 We have a first and a second. Any discussion on this?

1753
02:11:57,960 --> 02:12:02,600
 Seeing none, I'll call for a vote via roll call. Commissioner Beck?

1754
02:12:02,600 --> 02:12:03,600
 Aye.

1755
02:12:03,600 --> 02:12:04,960
 Commissioner Ellis?

1756
02:12:04,960 --> 02:12:05,960
 Aye.

1757
02:12:05,960 --> 02:12:07,320
 Commissioner Pernetta?

1758
02:12:07,320 --> 02:12:08,320
 Aye.

1759
02:12:08,320 --> 02:12:09,920
 Commissioner Anderson?

1760
02:12:09,920 --> 02:12:10,920
 Aye.

1761
02:12:10,920 --> 02:12:11,920
 Commissioner Smith?

1762
02:12:11,920 --> 02:12:12,920
 Aye.

1763
02:12:12,920 --> 02:12:13,920
 Commissioner Kohl?

1764
02:12:13,920 --> 02:12:14,920
 Aye.

1765
02:12:14,920 --> 02:12:20,720
 Chair is also an aye. Motion carries 7-0. That brings us to our items for individual

1766
02:12:20,720 --> 02:12:25,480
 consideration. We'll go ahead and start with the Consent Agenda item. Just carried forward

1767
02:12:25,480 --> 02:12:34,600
 Item 3C. It's Carina Maldonado's FP20-0020. And Commissioner Beck, do you want to take

1768
02:12:34,600 --> 02:12:36,680
 the floor for your questions?

1769
02:12:36,680 --> 02:12:45,920
 Yeah. Thank you, Chair. Carina, did you ever get back from work session about the drainage

1770
02:12:45,920 --> 02:12:47,880
 into the adjacent ESA?

1771
02:12:47,880 --> 02:12:55,720
 No, I was not. Unfortunately, it's kind of difficult to get ahold of some of the engineers

1772
02:12:55,720 --> 02:13:02,080
 at this hour. I was able to look through some of the documents from the previous review,

1773
02:13:02,080 --> 02:13:11,840
 but all I was able to draw out of their comments was that they met the minimum requirements

1774
02:13:11,840 --> 02:13:21,400
 for approval of the final plat under the subdivision regulations. I will defer to Richard on some

1775
02:13:21,400 --> 02:13:26,240
 of the questions related to drainage, as I don't really have the expertise to kind of

1776
02:13:26,240 --> 02:13:31,360
 go into the detail. For the other item that we talked about during the work session related

1777
02:13:31,360 --> 02:13:44,000
 to the permits, we did go back and clarify that that was the erosion control item that's

1778
02:13:44,000 --> 02:13:51,560
 really addressed with an inspection during the permitting process. So whenever their

1779
02:13:51,560 --> 02:13:57,840
 civil engineering plans are approved, they do take into account all their erosion control

1780
02:13:57,840 --> 02:14:03,680
 measures, but there is an inspection that's done at the permitting phase, and that's where

1781
02:14:03,680 --> 02:14:13,040
 we would catch any inconsistencies before a permit is issued. Outside of that, no, I

1782
02:14:13,040 --> 02:14:17,680
 wasn't able to get ahold of someone to just clarify those questions that you had.

1783
02:14:17,680 --> 02:14:23,920
 All right. Thank you, Carina. I appreciate it.

1784
02:14:23,920 --> 02:14:32,960
 Any other questions on this item? Okay. Chair will entertain a motion. Commissioner Smith?

1785
02:14:32,960 --> 02:14:38,200
 Make a motion to approve. We have a first for approval. Commissioner

1786
02:14:38,200 --> 02:14:39,200
 Ellis? Second.

1787
02:14:39,200 --> 02:14:44,480
 We have a first and a second for approval. Any additional discussion? Commissioner Beck?

1788
02:14:44,480 --> 02:14:54,640
 Yeah, I'm going to vote against this. I think it's not clear to me that the drainage

1789
02:14:54,640 --> 02:15:02,320
 issues are resolved, which is 2457. It's not clear to me that they are meeting minimum

1790
02:15:02,320 --> 02:15:10,800
 standards, and I'm also concerned about the sort of financial and business impacts of

1791
02:15:10,800 --> 02:15:18,880
 having the business consistency and the shopping with the apartment complex right there under

1792
02:15:18,880 --> 02:15:25,840
 245E8 and with backup from 7101B. So I'm not going to be supporting this.

1793
02:15:25,840 --> 02:15:33,800
 Okay. We do have a first and a second for approval. Seeing no other discussion, I will

1794
02:15:33,800 --> 02:15:37,200
 call for a vote via roll call. Commissioner Beck?

1795
02:15:37,200 --> 02:15:39,360
 Nay. Commissioner Ellis?

1796
02:15:39,360 --> 02:15:42,920
 Aye. Commissioner Pernetta?

1797
02:15:42,920 --> 02:15:46,440
 Nay. Commissioner Anderson?

1798
02:15:46,440 --> 02:15:49,920
 Aye. Commissioner Smith?

1799
02:15:49,920 --> 02:15:53,320
 Aye. Commissioner Cole?

1800
02:15:53,320 --> 02:16:06,600
 Aye. Chair's an aye. Motion carries 5-2. The next item of business is item 4A, FP20-0019.

1801
02:16:06,600 --> 02:16:09,560
 This is Mark Laird's item for presentation.

1802
02:16:09,560 --> 02:16:14,840
 Good evening. My name is Mark Laird. I'm a planner with the Development Services Department.

1803
02:16:14,840 --> 02:16:19,480
 This email I have for your consideration, the final plan of Cambridge Brook, addition

1804
02:16:19,480 --> 02:16:25,960
 phase one. It's 102 residential lots and four common lots. The property is generally located

1805
02:16:25,960 --> 02:16:32,440
 on the west side of Bonnebray, being south of the intersection of Vintage Boulevard and

1806
02:16:32,440 --> 02:16:36,760
 Bonnebray. Staff recommends approval of this plan as it meets all the criteria that didn't

1807
02:16:36,760 --> 02:16:40,960
 develop the code. I stand for any questions you may have.

1808
02:16:40,960 --> 02:16:50,640
 Thank you very much, Mark. I do not see any questions. Chair will entertain a motion.

1809
02:16:50,640 --> 02:16:51,640
 Commissioner Smith?

1810
02:16:51,640 --> 02:16:53,240
 I motion to approve.

1811
02:16:53,240 --> 02:16:54,240
 Commissioner Pernetta?

1812
02:16:54,240 --> 02:16:55,240
 I'll second.

1813
02:16:55,240 --> 02:17:02,240
 We have a first and a second for approval. Any discussion? Seeing none, I'll call for

1814
02:17:02,240 --> 02:17:05,000
 a vote via roll call. Commissioner Beck?

1815
02:17:05,000 --> 02:17:06,000
 Aye.

1816
02:17:06,000 --> 02:17:07,000
 Commissioner Ellis?

1817
02:17:07,000 --> 02:17:08,000
 Aye.

1818
02:17:08,000 --> 02:17:09,000
 Commissioner Pernetta?

1819
02:17:09,000 --> 02:17:10,000
 Aye.

1820
02:17:10,000 --> 02:17:11,000
 Commissioner Anderson?

1821
02:17:11,000 --> 02:17:23,680
 I think that was an aye. You're muted. Can you try one more time?

1822
02:17:23,680 --> 02:17:24,680
 Aye.

1823
02:17:24,680 --> 02:17:32,440
 All right. Perfect. Commissioner Smith?

1824
02:17:32,440 --> 02:17:33,440
 Aye.

1825
02:17:33,440 --> 02:17:34,440
 Commissioner Cole?

1826
02:17:34,440 --> 02:17:35,440
 Aye.

1827
02:17:35,440 --> 02:17:41,200
 Chair is also an aye. Motion carries 7-0. The next item of business is item 4B, PE 20-0001.

1828
02:17:41,200 --> 02:17:44,560
 And I'll invite Haley Zagorski for presentation on this item.

1829
02:17:44,560 --> 02:17:51,040
 Good evening, commissioners. Haley Zagorski, senior planner. This item is a extension request

1830
02:17:51,040 --> 02:17:56,760
 for the Audra Point subdivision. The property is outlined in yellow on the map. It is 13.2

1831
02:17:56,760 --> 02:18:01,480
 acres located on both the east and south side of Audra Lane. The preliminary plat for the

1832
02:18:01,480 --> 02:18:06,680
 subdivision included 53 single family lots and two open space lots. It was originally

1833
02:18:06,680 --> 02:18:12,720
 approved in October of 2018, which means it is set to expire per the Denton Development

1834
02:18:12,720 --> 02:18:19,800
 Code two years later on October 24, 2020. The applicant in the interim two years since

1835
02:18:19,800 --> 02:18:24,000
 this approval has been working with neighboring properties that are being developed both to

1836
02:18:24,000 --> 02:18:29,040
 the north and the east, as well as with city engineering staff to find a resolution for

1837
02:18:29,040 --> 02:18:34,520
 some drainage challenges they were facing along Audra Lane. So those developers have

1838
02:18:34,520 --> 02:18:39,920
 worked together and come up with a solution for a regional detention facility that will

1839
02:18:39,920 --> 02:18:45,440
 be located on the eastern adjoining property that will solve the issues for these two developments.

1840
02:18:45,440 --> 02:18:50,200
 And the one to the north has found a different solution for their individual property. But

1841
02:18:50,200 --> 02:18:55,520
 those challenges did take time to work through. However, in the last two to three months,

1842
02:18:55,520 --> 02:19:00,880
 they have gotten civil engineering plans submitted, reviewed, those are almost ready for approval,

1843
02:19:00,880 --> 02:19:05,040
 and a final plat for the subdivision was submitted yesterday and will be coming to you all in

1844
02:19:05,040 --> 02:19:11,200
 November. Just in case anything else comes up, any last-minute surprises, they have requested

1845
02:19:11,200 --> 02:19:16,300
 this extension for six months to allow them a little bit of leeway there in their schedule

1846
02:19:16,300 --> 02:19:22,480
 to finish up the final final plant and civil engineering plans for the subdivision. Staff

1847
02:19:22,480 --> 02:19:27,680
 is recommending approval of this request again for six months since the applicant has demonstrated

1848
02:19:27,680 --> 02:19:32,800
 a continual progression towards the completion of this project. And the applicant is on the

1849
02:19:32,800 --> 02:19:35,840
 line if you all had any specific questions from this evening.

1850
02:19:35,840 --> 02:19:42,640
 Great. Thank you very much, Haley. Commissioner Anderson.

1851
02:19:42,640 --> 02:19:46,560
 I'll make a motion to approve the extension. Commissioner Pernetta.

1852
02:19:46,560 --> 02:19:51,160
 Second that. So we have a first and a second for approval

1853
02:19:51,160 --> 02:19:57,440
 of the extension. Any discussion? Seeing none, I'll call for a vote via roll call. Commissioner

1854
02:19:57,440 --> 02:19:58,440
 Beck. Aye.

1855
02:19:58,440 --> 02:19:59,440
 Commissioner Ellis. Aye.

1856
02:19:59,440 --> 02:20:00,440
 Commissioner Pernetta. Aye.

1857
02:20:00,440 --> 02:20:01,440
 Commissioner Anderson. Aye.

1858
02:20:01,440 --> 02:20:02,440
 Commissioner Smith. Aye.

1859
02:20:02,440 --> 02:20:03,440
 Commissioner Haley. Aye.

1860
02:20:03,440 --> 02:20:17,840
 Chair is also an aye. Motion carries 7-0. The next item of business is item 4C, FP20-0022.

1861
02:20:17,840 --> 02:20:26,640
 This item is presented by Carina Maldonado. Carina Maldonado, Assistant Planner. The request

1862
02:20:26,640 --> 02:20:31,920
 before you is for approval of the final flat of Glenwood Meadows addition. The subject

1863
02:20:31,920 --> 02:20:38,720
 site is approximately 68.774 acres and is located on the southeast side of future Bonnie

1864
02:20:38,720 --> 02:20:46,240
 Bray, approximately 750 feet north of Vintage Boulevard. The previous request of denial

1865
02:20:46,240 --> 02:20:53,880
 is being modified by staff to now recommend approval as the previous reasons for denial

1866
02:20:53,880 --> 02:21:00,800
 have now been addressed and the plat now meets all minimum standards for approval. With that,

1867
02:21:00,800 --> 02:21:06,960
 I'll take any question. Thank you, Carina, for presentation. Is there any questions or

1868
02:21:06,960 --> 02:21:16,080
 a motion? Commissioner Anderson. I'll make a motion to approve. We have a first for approval.

1869
02:21:16,080 --> 02:21:22,840
 Commissioner Smith. I'll second. We have a first and a second for approval. Any discussion?

1870
02:21:22,840 --> 02:21:29,120
 Commissioner Beck. Thank you, Chair. Similar to the other issue, I hate to constantly pick

1871
02:21:29,120 --> 02:21:36,840
 on Carina, but I don't think this matches our erosion control protocols. I disagree with

1872
02:21:36,840 --> 02:21:42,600
 staff. I think you're asking to have these properties, especially the ones along the

1873
02:21:42,600 --> 02:21:48,480
 flood plain in that little lake, the future issues that we have to mitigate with bulldozers

1874
02:21:48,480 --> 02:21:54,200
 that would be not necessary if we just pulled back a few of these lots and made them HOAs

1875
02:21:54,200 --> 02:22:03,720
 or something else. So, you know, barring that option, I think, you know, 264D and 245E7

1876
02:22:03,720 --> 02:22:10,160
 are justifications with backup from 751 and 735D for erosion control. So I'm not going

1877
02:22:10,160 --> 02:22:15,840
 to be supporting this. I would otherwise, but I think there's a drainage issue here.

1878
02:22:15,840 --> 02:22:23,000
 Okay. Thank you, Commissioner Beck. We do have a first and a second for approval. Commissioner

1879
02:22:23,000 --> 02:22:31,720
 Pernitta? I just have a question based on that. So based on Commissioner Beck's concern,

1880
02:22:31,720 --> 02:22:37,360
 as opposed to opposing it, I mean, is this something that you feel could be remediated

1881
02:22:37,360 --> 02:22:45,040
 with an amendment or something like that? Are you asking me, Commissioner Pernitta?

1882
02:22:45,040 --> 02:22:50,440
 Yeah, yeah. I'm asking you if there is something that you think that we could propose and take

1883
02:22:50,440 --> 02:22:53,440
 to staff that would make you more comfortable with it?

1884
02:22:53,440 --> 02:22:57,920
 Yeah, I sort of alluded to it. Thank you, Commissioner Pernitta. I alluded to it, that

1885
02:22:57,920 --> 02:23:03,280
 if we were to move, rearrange some of those floodplain facing lots to where there was

1886
02:23:03,280 --> 02:23:10,960
 more adequate room for erosion mitigation, soil creep, you know, less danger, you know,

1887
02:23:10,960 --> 02:23:17,840
 rotate a few of the lots, maybe make a couple HOA regions, more specifically along that

1888
02:23:17,840 --> 02:23:22,800
 eastern region, I could probably see my way going for this. But in general, I know that

1889
02:23:22,800 --> 02:23:30,240
 that is something that most developers are loathe to do because those lots are valuable

1890
02:23:30,240 --> 02:23:37,560
 to them. So I guess if they were willing to sort of pull that back a little bit and make

1891
02:23:37,560 --> 02:23:46,740
 this more viable, then I probably could lend support. But barring that, I don't feel comfortable.

1892
02:23:46,740 --> 02:23:54,840
 As a point of order, in terms of processes, I think in order to do that, what Commissioner

1893
02:23:54,840 --> 02:23:58,560
 Pernitta and Commissioner Beck were speaking of, we would need to deny the plat and need

1894
02:23:58,560 --> 02:24:02,760
 to be resubmitted with updates so it meets all technical requirements. It'd be really

1895
02:24:02,760 --> 02:24:07,840
 hard to put an amendment on removing lots and not understand the technical requirements

1896
02:24:07,840 --> 02:24:14,000
 of that. So certainly if the motion to approve fails, and then we have a denial on our hands,

1897
02:24:14,000 --> 02:24:20,800
 it would be brought back under a new, potential new design to staff to make sure it meets

1898
02:24:20,800 --> 02:24:24,600
 technical requirements. Thank you Chair. I take the Chair's point under advisement. Thank

1899
02:24:24,600 --> 02:24:32,560
 you, Chair. Any other discussion? Okay, we have a first and second on the board for an

1900
02:24:32,560 --> 02:24:40,400
 approval. We will vote via roll call. Commissioner Beck? Nay. Commissioner Ellis? Aye. Commissioner

1901
02:24:40,400 --> 02:24:50,560
 Pernitta? Aye. Commissioner Anderson? Aye. Commissioner Smith? Aye. Commissioner Cole?

1902
02:24:50,560 --> 02:25:01,320
 Aye. Chair is also an aye. Motion carries 6-1. The next item of business, item 4D, PP20-0020.

1903
02:25:01,320 --> 02:25:09,640
 This item is presented by Julie Wyatt. Good evening, Julie Wyatt, Senior Planner. This

1904
02:25:09,640 --> 02:25:18,720
 is PP20-0020. This is a single family residential subdivision in the Preserve at Pecan Creek.

1905
02:25:18,720 --> 02:25:24,280
 At this time, the plat does not meet all of the requirements, so staff recommends denial.

1906
02:25:24,280 --> 02:25:31,000
 However, the applicant has requested an extension, and so, and staff has no issue with that extension

1907
02:25:31,000 --> 02:25:38,940
 to the November 4th, 2020 meeting. Okay. Thank you, Julie. Commissioner Cole, is that a hand

1908
02:25:38,940 --> 02:25:44,360
 raise or a swatting of a fly? If it was a hand raise, can we motion to postpone right

1909
02:25:44,360 --> 02:25:52,800
 now? Yeah. Okay. I motion to postpone. Commissioner Anderson? I second, Commissioner Cole. Okay.

1910
02:25:52,800 --> 02:25:56,080
 Just for clarification, Commissioner Cole, you're wanting to postpone to a date certain

1911
02:25:56,080 --> 02:26:01,560
 of November 4th? Yes, Chair. Thank you. Okay. So we have a first and a second for the 30-day

1912
02:26:01,560 --> 02:26:06,480
 extension, which goes to the next. Yes, ma'am. Mr. Chair, I just wanted to clarify that the

1913
02:26:06,480 --> 02:26:12,680
 motion is to approve the request for the extension. Commissioner Cole, is the motion to approve

1914
02:26:12,680 --> 02:26:17,000
 the request for an extension? The motion is to approve the request for an extension, Chair.

1915
02:26:17,000 --> 02:26:21,000
 Thank you. Thank you. And Commissioner Anderson, are you good with that wording? Absolutely.

1916
02:26:21,000 --> 02:26:26,720
 Fantastic. Thank you for that clarification, Cynthia. We have a first and a second. Any

1917
02:26:26,720 --> 02:26:35,320
 discussion? Seeing none, we'll call for a vote via roll call. Commissioner Beck? Aye.

1918
02:26:35,320 --> 02:26:42,240
 Commissioner Ellis? Aye. Commissioner Panetta? Aye. Commissioner Anderson? Aye. Commissioner

1919
02:26:42,240 --> 02:26:49,720
 Smith? Aye. Commissioner Cole? Aye. Chair is also an aye. Motion carries 7-0. The next

1920
02:26:49,720 --> 02:26:59,400
 item of business is item 4E, FR20-0008A. This item is presented by Ron Maguida. And the

1921
02:26:59,400 --> 02:27:12,840
 floor is yours, when ready. Thank you, Chair. Let me pull up the presentation. Good evening.

1922
02:27:12,840 --> 02:27:18,280
 This is Ron Maguida, principal planner with Development Services. For your consideration,

1923
02:27:18,280 --> 02:27:26,480
 this evening is a final reply for a property located between Crowe and Senna. The application

1924
02:27:26,480 --> 02:27:31,560
 when it was sent out or the packet that was sent out on Friday had previously a recommendation

1925
02:27:31,560 --> 02:27:37,640
 of denial. There was one item that needed to be addressed. Since Friday, the applicant

1926
02:27:37,640 --> 02:27:45,680
 has submitted the HOA docs documents related to this particular project. It has been reviewed

1927
02:27:45,680 --> 02:27:51,600
 and approved. Therefore, the recommendation for this final reply has been amended for

1928
02:27:51,600 --> 02:27:56,880
 a recommendation of approval that it meets the established approval criteria for a final

1929
02:27:56,880 --> 02:28:02,460
 replat. That concludes my presentation. I'll be happy to answer any questions. Okay. Commissioner

1930
02:28:02,460 --> 02:28:07,200
 Beck? Thank you, Chair. Ron, I forgot to ask you this in work session, and I see it on

1931
02:28:07,200 --> 02:28:12,280
 my notes here. What's that little sliver of land in the southwest going to be used for,

1932
02:28:12,280 --> 02:28:21,280
 does it say? I'm just curious. We'll back up. I mean, you could say nothing or it doesn't

1933
02:28:21,280 --> 02:28:26,740
 matter. I just want to make sure. It's just the remnant of the lot, and that's why it's

1934
02:28:26,740 --> 02:28:32,160
 shown this way. It's too narrow to do anything, so it will most likely be just landscaping.

1935
02:28:32,160 --> 02:28:42,960
 Okay. Thank you, Ron. Thank you for the presentation, Ron. Any questions or a motion? Commissioner

1936
02:28:42,960 --> 02:28:51,400
 Ellis? Move approval. Commissioner Beck? I second if we could have a friendly amendment

1937
02:28:51,400 --> 02:28:57,240
 to the staff recommendations. Isn't there specific recommendations on there from staff?

1938
02:28:57,240 --> 02:29:04,320
 There is none. No, then I second. Okay. We have a first and a second for approval. Any

1939
02:29:04,320 --> 02:29:11,600
 discussion? Seeing none, we'll call for a vote via roll call. Commissioner Beck? Aye.

1940
02:29:11,600 --> 02:29:17,960
 Commissioner Ellis? Aye. Commissioner Pernetta? Aye. Commissioner Anderson? Aye. Commissioner

1941
02:29:17,960 --> 02:29:26,880
 Smith? Aye. Commissioner Kohl? Aye. Chair is also an aye. Motion carries 7-0. I second

1942
02:29:26,880 --> 02:29:35,320
 if we could have a friendly amendment. Next item of business is item 4, FPZ 20-223. Ron,

1943
02:29:35,320 --> 02:29:56,480
 do you just want to summarize what this item is about? Yes. One second. There we go. Try

1944
02:29:56,480 --> 02:30:05,480
 to find a PowerPoint presentation. This is related to the development code review committee

1945
02:30:05,480 --> 02:30:12,640
 nomination selection. The development code review committee for this particular item

1946
02:30:12,640 --> 02:30:22,480
 today for your selection is for the committee to provide staff assistance in the process

1947
02:30:22,480 --> 02:30:29,800
 of code amendments by providing guidance and also providing review and prioritizing our

1948
02:30:29,800 --> 02:30:34,800
 recommended code amendments. Ultimately, the objective is to make a recommendation to the

1949
02:30:34,800 --> 02:30:42,100
 full council. Currently, the development code review committee sits three city council members,

1950
02:30:42,100 --> 02:30:48,600
 John Ryan, Keely Briggs, Chris Watts, and also two current planning zoning commissioners,

1951
02:30:48,600 --> 02:30:53,240
 Angel Rozelle and Margie Ellis. What we are seeking is to fill that third vacancy under

1952
02:30:53,240 --> 02:30:59,840
 the planning zoning commissioners. Again, this is for the development code review committee,

1953
02:30:59,840 --> 02:31:05,840
 which on October 6th, yesterday, the city council approved or adopted a resolution to

1954
02:31:05,840 --> 02:31:12,320
 reestablish the development code review committee. That concludes my presentation. I'll be happy

1955
02:31:12,320 --> 02:31:22,160
 to answer any questions. Thank you, Ron. Before he gets a chance to nominate himself, what

1956
02:31:22,160 --> 02:31:32,840
 I'd like to do is nominate Commissioner Smith for the DCRC. Commissioner Ellis. Second.

1957
02:31:32,840 --> 02:31:35,960
 We have a first and a second for that. Is there any other nominations that want to be

1958
02:31:35,960 --> 02:31:44,000
 put forth? Commissioner Beck. Yeah, I wouldn't mind serving on that committee, so I'd like

1959
02:31:44,000 --> 02:32:00,200
 to nominate myself. Okay, great. And out of ignorance, maybe Ron or Richard can direct

1960
02:32:00,200 --> 02:32:07,000
 me when we have multiple nominations, do we go into certain order for voting or how, what's

1961
02:32:07,000 --> 02:32:13,600
 the procedure that the chair should be following here? I would have to double check Robert's

1962
02:32:13,600 --> 02:32:22,400
 rules of order. Mr. Chair. Yes, ma'am. You could take a vote on the first person that

1963
02:32:22,400 --> 02:32:30,320
 was nominated. Okay. And then if that passes, this, the position be filled or do we still

1964
02:32:30,320 --> 02:32:45,740
 wouldn't, would, do we still vote on the second? Oh, I want to be mindful procedures. Yes.

1965
02:32:45,740 --> 02:32:49,760
 I'm not going to ask the logical question if they both pass, but we'll go instead to

1966
02:32:49,760 --> 02:32:54,720
 Commissioner Beck. If we're starting with Commissioner Smith and he succeeds, then I

1967
02:32:54,720 --> 02:33:01,240
 will withdraw. That will avoid the issue. Commissioner Beck, that would be quite a conciliatory

1968
02:33:01,240 --> 02:33:05,280
 of you. Let's take the vote for Commissioner Smith and we'll go from there. We do have

1969
02:33:05,280 --> 02:33:10,600
 a first and a second. We'll do a vote via roll call. This is for the commission to approve

1970
02:33:10,600 --> 02:33:17,600
 the nomination of Commissioner Smith for service on the DCRC. First goes to Commissioner Beck.

1971
02:33:17,600 --> 02:33:24,240
 Well, since I've nominated myself, I will say nay. Sorry, Tim. All due respect. I am

1972
02:33:24,240 --> 02:33:37,800
 sure. Commissioner Ellis. Aye. Commissioner Pernetta. Terribly uncomfortable. Aye. We're

1973
02:33:37,800 --> 02:33:46,240
 back in grade school strangely. Commissioner Anderson. Aye. Commissioner Smith, do you

1974
02:33:46,240 --> 02:33:52,960
 accept the nomination? Okay. I probably should ask that earlier on. Cynthia didn't tell me

1975
02:33:52,960 --> 02:33:56,360
 to do that. You just started going on about it. It's good. It's gonna be called Andrews

1976
02:33:56,360 --> 02:34:05,320
 Rolls Royale. Rosels, but continue. So Commissioner Smith, I apologize. Are you in a yay or nay?

1977
02:34:05,320 --> 02:34:12,880
 I'm a yay for myself. Yes. Okay. Commissioner Cole. Yay. The chair is also a yay. That passes

1978
02:34:12,880 --> 02:34:19,240
 six one. Commissioner Beck. Chair, I'd like to withdraw my nomination. Well, thank you

1979
02:34:19,240 --> 02:34:22,640
 for doing that. And thank you for actually volunteering as well. Both of those things

1980
02:34:22,640 --> 02:34:29,000
 is certainly admirable for my position. And congrats to you, Commissioner Smith for service

1981
02:34:29,000 --> 02:34:34,320
 on the DCRC. Thank you everybody for voting for me. The next item of business is item

1982
02:34:34,320 --> 02:34:43,200
 four, excuse me, 5A, DCA 20-0004. This item is going to be presented by, I believe it

1983
02:34:43,200 --> 02:34:54,560
 is back to Ron Maguida. Yes. And I'll open the public hearing. Okay. This time I've got

1984
02:34:54,560 --> 02:35:07,400
 my PowerPoint presentation. Make sure I've got everything. Can you hear me? Okay. Sorry.

1985
02:35:07,400 --> 02:35:13,920
 This is a code amendment to the table of allowed uses under sub-chapter five for tattoo and

1986
02:35:13,920 --> 02:35:22,680
 piercing parlor. The rule currently, it's not permitted in the MN zoning district. And

1987
02:35:22,680 --> 02:35:31,080
 the issue here is that there are existing tattoo and piercing parlors that are currently

1988
02:35:31,080 --> 02:35:38,040
 in business under the MN, which means they're considered non-conforming. Prior to the 2019

1989
02:35:38,040 --> 02:35:43,920
 development code update under the NRMU 12, NRMU, these types of businesses were permitted

1990
02:35:43,920 --> 02:35:51,520
 under professional services and offices. Currently there are seven existing businesses that fall

1991
02:35:51,520 --> 02:35:59,280
 under the non-conforming use category. What options we have as option one is to leave

1992
02:35:59,280 --> 02:36:04,960
 them as non-conforming or option two is to amend the table of allowed uses and add a

1993
02:36:04,960 --> 02:36:12,640
 P plus under the MN zoning district. Staff is recommending option two. This is just to

1994
02:36:12,640 --> 02:36:19,880
 illustrate that there are a number of these businesses, the tattoo and body piercing locations,

1995
02:36:19,880 --> 02:36:26,960
 parlors location that is of the 16, seven are currently in the MN zoning district. And

1996
02:36:26,960 --> 02:36:31,760
 again, based on the 2019 development code, they are considered non-conforming. And what

1997
02:36:31,760 --> 02:36:38,640
 we're trying to do is address that non-conformity by allowing that use under the MN. What staff

1998
02:36:38,640 --> 02:36:45,480
 is recommending is to add a P plus to the table of allowed uses. What that will mean

1999
02:36:45,480 --> 02:36:51,840
 is that it would be permitted with a use specific standard. And that use specific standard as

2000
02:36:51,840 --> 02:36:58,680
 specified here under 535 P that tattoo and body piercing parlors shall comply with licensing

2001
02:36:58,680 --> 02:37:04,960
 and certification requirements of the Texas department of state health services. And that

2002
02:37:04,960 --> 02:37:11,080
 concludes my presentation. Be happy to stand for any questions.

2003
02:37:11,080 --> 02:37:16,680
 Thank you, Ron. Commissioner Beck. Thank you, chair. Ron, this isn't going to, if this passes,

2004
02:37:16,680 --> 02:37:22,600
 this isn't going to require any action by those seven non-conforming businesses, correct?

2005
02:37:22,600 --> 02:37:29,880
 No, sir. They would just operate as, as, as is. But if they were to, you know, obtain

2006
02:37:29,880 --> 02:37:35,200
 another CEO or, you know, change hands, that's the only time that anything would change for

2007
02:37:35,200 --> 02:37:40,440
 them. And of course, now that if this passes, they would be conforming in that new user

2008
02:37:40,440 --> 02:37:49,680
 would have a conforming use on their CEO. Thank you, Ron. Commissioner Beck. I motion

2009
02:37:49,680 --> 02:37:57,040
 to approve as stated by staff. So real quickly, I want to make sure there's

2010
02:37:57,040 --> 02:38:02,520
 no public comment. Before I close public hearing, I'm getting no. So I'll go ahead and close

2011
02:38:02,520 --> 02:38:07,200
 the public hearing. I'll receive the, the motion from commissioner Beck. Commissioner

2012
02:38:07,200 --> 02:38:13,120
 Smith. And Commissioner Ellis, you had your hand up. I just wanted to check in with you.

2013
02:38:13,120 --> 02:38:17,320
 Yeah, thanks, chair. I wanted to bring up that the draft ordinance does have that typo

2014
02:38:17,320 --> 02:38:22,040
 that Richard mentioned. Is that something that we could maybe move into this motion

2015
02:38:22,040 --> 02:38:27,460
 possibly as a friendly amendment to ensure that that typo gets fixed to include the plus

2016
02:38:27,460 --> 02:38:35,000
 on the HC district that is currently not there in the draft ordinance?

2017
02:38:35,000 --> 02:38:39,160
 We certainly could. It wouldn't, I think, is that that section wouldn't change anyways

2018
02:38:39,160 --> 02:38:43,320
 and it wasn't advertised, but, but we could certainly include that as a part of the motion

2019
02:38:43,320 --> 02:38:50,500
 if, if, if we need to. Commissioner Beck. Can I, can I ask Cynthia, is that something

2020
02:38:50,500 --> 02:38:56,840
 that Richard says we don't need to, but is that something we should do for completeness?

2021
02:38:56,840 --> 02:39:01,840
 By the way, I'm happy to make that friendly motion, by the way. Mr. Chair and members

2022
02:39:01,840 --> 02:39:06,880
 of the commission, that, that is just a draft ordinance that is subject to change that was

2023
02:39:06,880 --> 02:39:12,840
 attached to the agenda, but you can certainly clarify that in the motion if you'd like,

2024
02:39:12,840 --> 02:39:16,700
 but we'll make sure it's fixed when it goes to the council.

2025
02:39:16,700 --> 02:39:21,440
 Then I take under advisement, the friendly motion following Richard and, and commissioner

2026
02:39:21,440 --> 02:39:28,840
 Ellis's guidance to include those points in and recommending staff as recommended with

2027
02:39:28,840 --> 02:39:34,280
 the typographical changes. Just to clarify the motion, you are approved,

2028
02:39:34,280 --> 02:39:39,260
 your motion to approve the recommendation with the added verbiage that we add a plus

2029
02:39:39,260 --> 02:39:47,360
 to this use in the HC zoning. Is that correct? Is that correct? Mr. Allison, do you second?

2030
02:39:47,360 --> 02:39:54,160
 Oh, we're not adding it. We're just ensuring the draft ordinance is corrected to reflect

2031
02:39:54,160 --> 02:40:01,520
 that. Understood. And you're okay with, with the amendment commissioner Ellis on the second.

2032
02:40:01,520 --> 02:40:08,480
 I am. Oh, did commissioner Smith say it's not me? Okay. Great. Yes. Yes. I'm fine with

2033
02:40:08,480 --> 02:40:13,040
 that. Okay. Great. Thanks for clarifying that. So we have a first and a second for approval

2034
02:40:13,040 --> 02:40:19,380
 with that extra condition or clarification. Any discussion? Seeing none, I'll call for

2035
02:40:19,380 --> 02:40:26,480
 a vote via roll call. Commissioner Beck. Aye. Commissioner Ellis. Aye. Commissioner Pernetta.

2036
02:40:26,480 --> 02:40:35,400
 Aye. Commissioner Anderson. Aye. Commissioner Smith. Aye. Commissioner Cole. Aye. Chair

2037
02:40:35,400 --> 02:40:41,760
 is also an aye. Motion carries seven zero. The next item of business is item five B as

2038
02:40:41,760 --> 02:40:49,200
 in Bravo S 20 dash zero zero zero five. This is Sean Jacobson's item and I will open the

2039
02:40:49,200 --> 02:40:58,760
 public hearing. Good evening. Chair, members of the commission. Let me just pull up the

2040
02:40:58,760 --> 02:41:15,480
 presentation. All right. Good evening, chair and members of the planning and zoning commission.

2041
02:41:15,480 --> 02:41:21,840
 My name is Sean Jacobson, assistant planner, and I'm here to present S 20 0 0 0 5 south

2042
02:41:21,840 --> 02:41:28,300
 helm tire shop. This is a request for a specific use permit to permit a minor automotive repair

2043
02:41:28,300 --> 02:41:33,980
 use on approximately 0.201 acres in the M N district. That's generally located on the

2044
02:41:33,980 --> 02:41:40,400
 west side of South Elm Street, 70 feet north of the northwest corner of South Elm Street

2045
02:41:40,400 --> 02:41:46,240
 and West Highland Street in the city of Denton. Uh, this request is required. The property

2046
02:41:46,240 --> 02:41:52,800
 is zoned in the mix in the M N mixed use neighborhood district and, uh, an S U P is required to

2047
02:41:52,800 --> 02:42:00,180
 have minor automotive repair use in this area. This is proposed for a developed lot. It has

2048
02:42:00,180 --> 02:42:04,480
 an existing building and the use would be in that existing building. That building has

2049
02:42:04,480 --> 02:42:10,040
 in the past been occupied by other automotive repair uses as well as air condition repair,

2050
02:42:10,040 --> 02:42:16,720
 legal office, auto sales. So you can see here that proposed site plan from the applicant

2051
02:42:16,720 --> 02:42:22,000
 the existing building with an existing opaque fence. The building is not proposed to be

2052
02:42:22,000 --> 02:42:27,800
 added to or expanded in any way has the appropriate number of parking spaces for the use. It's

2053
02:42:27,800 --> 02:42:33,680
 supposed to be a tire shop. I will discuss further the fact that the currently existing

2054
02:42:33,680 --> 02:42:40,360
 dumpster would actually be removed and replaced at property owner expense with a rolling dumpster

2055
02:42:40,360 --> 02:42:47,120
 that could be moved behind the fence out of sight. The surrounding development includes

2056
02:42:47,120 --> 02:42:55,720
 a mix of commercial to the north auto related commercial to the east and duplex residential

2057
02:42:55,720 --> 02:43:00,840
 to the south and west. So this is a commercial in an area that is a mix of commercial and

2058
02:43:00,840 --> 02:43:08,400
 residential. You know that we have our general approval criteria as well as specific approval

2059
02:43:08,400 --> 02:43:13,520
 criteria for S U P s and we'll tackle the highlights that kind of the key areas of those

2060
02:43:13,520 --> 02:43:19,120
 two. One of the big ones is compatibility with the surrounding area. So this area is

2061
02:43:19,120 --> 02:43:24,680
 a mixed use corridor area. You have both commercial and residential uses and this would be an

2062
02:43:24,680 --> 02:43:29,960
 additional commercial use there. It's similar to a previous use of the property in a building

2063
02:43:29,960 --> 02:43:35,760
 that's been in the area for over 25 years. This would be neighborhood serving commercial

2064
02:43:35,760 --> 02:43:43,800
 in an area that's intended for a mix. Surrounding property is similarly also zoned M N. It's

2065
02:43:43,800 --> 02:43:48,160
 currently developed. It could redevelop in the future, but this proposed specific use

2066
02:43:48,160 --> 02:43:55,120
 is not expected to hinder any future redevelopment. It's also important to look at how any potential

2067
02:43:55,120 --> 02:44:01,160
 negative impacts of this minor automotive use automotive repair use have been mitigated.

2068
02:44:01,160 --> 02:44:07,640
 The first one is noise. There could be concerns related to the tools that are using the process.

2069
02:44:07,640 --> 02:44:11,560
 One thing that helps with that is the design of the building. All bays face away from the

2070
02:44:11,560 --> 02:44:17,560
 adjacent residential. In addition, staff is recommended and the applicant has accepted

2071
02:44:17,560 --> 02:44:28,360
 condition of approval that all work be performed inside bays. Another issue is the visual as

2072
02:44:28,360 --> 02:44:34,540
 well as specifically how the refuse areas handle use specific standard is applicable

2073
02:44:34,540 --> 02:44:39,400
 to this use already that storage of equipment, auto parts and supplies used in serving the

2074
02:44:39,400 --> 02:44:43,840
 vehicles must be maintained inside with in the enclosed structure. You can't have that

2075
02:44:43,840 --> 02:44:49,280
 piled outside. Staff has recommended the additional condition of approval. The applicant agreed

2076
02:44:49,280 --> 02:44:55,840
 to that no wrecked or inoperable vehicles may be stored on site. Staff is also recommended

2077
02:44:55,840 --> 02:45:00,000
 as a condition of approval, the replacement of the unscreened dumpster that's currently

2078
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:04,240
 adjacent to the right of way with a wheeled dumpster that could be stored behind the fence.

2079
02:45:04,240 --> 02:45:09,520
 So you can see here the dumpster is highlighted in orange there. It's adjacent to the neighboring

2080
02:45:09,520 --> 02:45:14,520
 property. It's adjacent to the right of way. It's not screen. It would be replaced by a

2081
02:45:14,520 --> 02:45:19,120
 dumpster of similar capacity that could be moved out of sight behind the fence except

2082
02:45:19,120 --> 02:45:24,480
 for on the one day a week when it needed to be picked up. So that would be an improvement

2083
02:45:24,480 --> 02:45:31,640
 both aesthetically and how the trash pickup is handled for this site. It's also important

2084
02:45:31,640 --> 02:45:37,160
 to look at whether the pro specific use fits with the Denton plan 2030 for the area. This

2085
02:45:37,160 --> 02:45:42,840
 is within the Denton, the downtown compatibility area, which is intended to provide compatibility

2086
02:45:42,840 --> 02:45:50,000
 between residential and commercial adjacent to downtown. And it is important as a part

2087
02:45:50,000 --> 02:45:53,900
 of that, according to the Denton plan 2030 to provide neighborhoods serving commercial

2088
02:45:53,900 --> 02:45:58,400
 in a scale and form sensitive to the surrounding built context. Again, this is a building that

2089
02:45:58,400 --> 02:46:05,120
 has been in the area. It's not being expanded and it is a commercial use within that building.

2090
02:46:05,120 --> 02:46:10,720
 Denton plan 2030 also recommends development along corridors, which this would be, it's

2091
02:46:10,720 --> 02:46:15,180
 along a primary arterial commercial development, as well as strengthening commercial areas

2092
02:46:15,180 --> 02:46:20,400
 by facilitating non-residential adaptive reuse, info and redevelopment. This is a commercial

2093
02:46:20,400 --> 02:46:25,720
 property that's currently vacant. This specific use would enable that to be occupied, active

2094
02:46:25,720 --> 02:46:31,280
 and contributing to commercial in that area. It's important to look at whether we have

2095
02:46:31,280 --> 02:46:37,880
 adequate public facilities traffic generation morning peak would be 11 trips an hour. Even

2096
02:46:37,880 --> 02:46:42,440
 peak would be 13 trips in an hour as South Elm street is a primary arterial. And this

2097
02:46:42,440 --> 02:46:47,040
 use is similar to the most recent previous use. It's not expected that this use will

2098
02:46:47,040 --> 02:46:53,520
 cause negative impacts in terms of traffic. We've addressed how solid waste service would

2099
02:46:53,520 --> 02:46:59,640
 be provided in an improved way with the rolling cart provided by the applicant and maintained

2100
02:46:59,640 --> 02:47:03,840
 by the applicant and water, wastewater and other utilities are already provided the site.

2101
02:47:03,840 --> 02:47:09,800
 You won't be any change or expansion needed to serve this use. We did inform the public

2102
02:47:09,800 --> 02:47:15,960
 by newspaper ad, posting the sign, sending out notices. We did receive two letters in

2103
02:47:15,960 --> 02:47:19,960
 opposition and those were included in your backup. The applicant held a neighborhood

2104
02:47:19,960 --> 02:47:26,440
 meeting, which had one attendee who expressed concerns about noise and traffic did have

2105
02:47:26,440 --> 02:47:31,680
 other concerns. But this applicant or this citizen did send in a letter and so you were

2106
02:47:31,680 --> 02:47:39,720
 able to fully read their concerns. So with that staff recommends approval with the following

2107
02:47:39,720 --> 02:47:44,160
 conditions as with those conditions, the proposed use meets the criteria for approval and is

2108
02:47:44,160 --> 02:47:48,920
 consistent with didn't plan 2030. Conditions are the dumpster currently on the property

2109
02:47:48,920 --> 02:47:54,000
 should be removed. Property owners shall provide at property owners expense a dumpster on casters

2110
02:47:54,000 --> 02:47:57,680
 of the same capacity as the current dumpster on site. Property owners should be responsible

2111
02:47:57,680 --> 02:48:01,320
 to maintain this dumpster in good working condition. Dumpster should be stored at all

2112
02:48:01,320 --> 02:48:05,480
 times out of public view behind the fence shown on exhibit B, except on the one day

2113
02:48:05,480 --> 02:48:09,640
 per week when the dumpster may be rolled out for emptying by Denton solid waste. The state

2114
02:48:09,640 --> 02:48:12,640
 should be determined by agreement between the property owner and the city of Denton solid

2115
02:48:12,640 --> 02:48:17,060
 waste department. When not behind the fence, dumpster should be placed in the area labeled

2116
02:48:17,060 --> 02:48:21,760
 dumpster location on exhibit B 50 foot unobstructed area should be maintained in front of the dumpster

2117
02:48:21,760 --> 02:48:26,200
 location to provide a path solid waste truck, as well as all work on vehicles will be conducted

2118
02:48:26,200 --> 02:48:30,540
 inside vehicle bays and should not be performed outside. And there should be no storage of

2119
02:48:30,540 --> 02:48:36,600
 rector and operable cars on the site. With that, my presentation is concluded and I will

2120
02:48:36,600 --> 02:48:38,660
 stand for any questions you have.

2121
02:48:38,660 --> 02:48:44,120
 Christopher Beck. Thank you, Chair. Um, Sean, I asked this in a different way at the work

2122
02:48:44,120 --> 02:48:48,520
 session, but it's it's my understanding from what you told us at the work session that

2123
02:48:48,520 --> 02:48:53,880
 this was this was has been an automotive repair shop for a number of years and then subsequently

2124
02:48:53,880 --> 02:49:00,560
 the nearby residential was built within in. And so essentially the use predates the residents.

2125
02:49:00,560 --> 02:49:07,540
 Is that correct? Yes, sir. That is my understanding. Okay, thank you, Sean. Any other questions

2126
02:49:07,540 --> 02:49:14,920
 for Sean? Okay, I know the applicants send in a request card to speak this evening. I

2127
02:49:14,920 --> 02:49:25,840
 believe it's Lee Allison. And sure, I do have his presentation ready. Okay, perfect. Mr.

2128
02:49:25,840 --> 02:49:34,440
 Allison, are you I think you're I see you online. You're still muted. I believe I'm

2129
02:49:34,440 --> 02:49:38,840
 unmuted now. Is it okay to speak? You are good if you just state your name and address

2130
02:49:38,840 --> 02:49:47,560
 for the record. This is Lee Allison with Allison Engineering Group 2415 North Elm Street, Denton,

2131
02:49:47,560 --> 02:49:53,720
 Texas with me this evening somewhere in Never Neverland or my clients and Adam Claycomb

2132
02:49:53,720 --> 02:50:01,160
 from our office observing this as well. And Sean, when you're ready, I'd like to start

2133
02:50:01,160 --> 02:50:06,160
 the presentation. I'm trying to watch on TV. So I hope I'm coordinated here. This is a

2134
02:50:06,160 --> 02:50:13,680
 specific use permit for an Elm Street tire shop is titled by the staff and it's in a

2135
02:50:13,680 --> 02:50:19,440
 zoning district mixed use neighborhood. And as indicated on the next slide, we didn't

2136
02:50:19,440 --> 02:50:28,840
 have a neighborhood meeting. It was held on September 29 during as a 2020 is a zoom meeting.

2137
02:50:28,840 --> 02:50:33,040
 First one we've ever conducted this way. I'm not sure how successful it really was, but

2138
02:50:33,040 --> 02:50:40,760
 we tried one neighbor attended that was the one on the south that owns the the new SRO

2139
02:50:40,760 --> 02:50:48,040
 duplex was a G representatives owner in the city. Sean was present. We did on our mailings

2140
02:50:48,040 --> 02:50:52,920
 provider contact information to give people an opportunity to call in if they didn't make

2141
02:50:52,920 --> 02:50:59,440
 the meeting. We are looking at ways to improve our notifications for these zoom meetings.

2142
02:50:59,440 --> 02:51:06,440
 We did receive a letter of opposition or two of them as indicated on the next slide. One

2143
02:51:06,440 --> 02:51:11,040
 was from the neighbor to the south with the with the duplex. And the other was from the

2144
02:51:11,040 --> 02:51:16,720
 retail center to the north. The concern as they indicated were primarily noise, traffic

2145
02:51:16,720 --> 02:51:29,800
 and land use. The noise as we see next. The concerns, Sean, I can switch please. We we're

2146
02:51:29,800 --> 02:51:38,480
 we're on that page. You might have a slight delay on the TV. Okay, very good. We can see

2147
02:51:38,480 --> 02:51:44,920
 the big issue being tenants of the newly constructed duplex next door. The bigger concerns would

2148
02:51:44,920 --> 02:51:53,480
 be air compressor impact tools and traffic. And if we'll go to the next one, related to

2149
02:51:53,480 --> 02:51:59,840
 the noise, we know that the city does have a noise ordinance, 65 decibels maximum the

2150
02:51:59,840 --> 02:52:06,080
 property line. And the ordinance does discuss something regarding the nature of the noise,

2151
02:52:06,080 --> 02:52:11,680
 an air hammer versus a violin or two different things, even at the same noise level. And

2152
02:52:11,680 --> 02:52:19,160
 we realize that concern and respect it. A restaurant with an outdoor music, depends on what you're

2153
02:52:19,160 --> 02:52:23,360
 playing could be offensive to somebody and somebody else is sitting out on the porch

2154
02:52:23,360 --> 02:52:29,800
 enjoying it. We made some field measurements, the code requires 65 decibels maximum at the

2155
02:52:29,800 --> 02:52:38,640
 property line. When we did, we made measurements on all four property lines. If we have nothing

2156
02:52:38,640 --> 02:52:46,040
 just absolute silent on our building, no traffic, we're getting 61.2 decibels at the maximum

2157
02:52:46,040 --> 02:52:54,000
 location and at the south property line adjacent to the duplex 56.3. If we have no equipment,

2158
02:52:54,000 --> 02:53:00,040
 but with traffic going by cars coming by, we're at 71 maximum and 69 at the property

2159
02:53:00,040 --> 02:53:06,360
 line with equipment inside the building where it's 61 and a half, both on maximum and at

2160
02:53:06,360 --> 02:53:11,920
 the south property line. I expect that's because we've got everything muffled by the building.

2161
02:53:11,920 --> 02:53:20,400
 And if the equipment is outside, we're running 66.3 and 66. Our noise remediation is indicated

2162
02:53:20,400 --> 02:53:26,640
 next and Sean has presented it. We're willing to keep the equipment inside, keep all the

2163
02:53:26,640 --> 02:53:32,680
 work inside. And we are limiting it to just two service bays or limiting tire service

2164
02:53:32,680 --> 02:53:38,320
 to the two front bays. The rest of the building may be used for storing tires or some other

2165
02:53:38,320 --> 02:53:46,920
 incidental office uses. On the next slide, the traffic, the tire shop with two bays has

2166
02:53:46,920 --> 02:53:51,680
 limited parking, generates less traffic than other allowed uses would, a restaurant or

2167
02:53:51,680 --> 02:53:57,940
 a club, for example. When I say limited operating hours, it's, I should say more like normal

2168
02:53:57,940 --> 02:54:03,600
 operating hours, Monday through Friday, a little shorter on Saturday, shorter on Sunday,

2169
02:54:03,600 --> 02:54:12,560
 but it's not a 24/7 operation. There were concerns about land use and I'd like to point

2170
02:54:12,560 --> 02:54:20,920
 out that as we study the code, the zoning and the comp plan, we recognize this is a

2171
02:54:20,920 --> 02:54:27,040
 transitional area and they're trying to make it downtown compatible. We expect there would

2172
02:54:27,040 --> 02:54:34,400
 be declining auto service uses. There's quite a few auto service uses in the area today

2173
02:54:34,400 --> 02:54:40,040
 and I can expect that the city anticipates that to decline as we convert more over time

2174
02:54:40,040 --> 02:54:45,800
 to a downtown compatibility area. You'd like to see an increase in residential retail office

2175
02:54:45,800 --> 02:54:53,520
 entertainment and recreation and allowed uses could compete with or support the opposition

2176
02:54:53,520 --> 02:54:58,560
 to the north. The northern opposition is a retail center. I'm sure they'd like to see

2177
02:54:58,560 --> 02:55:04,440
 more residential and professional offices in the area to utilize their facilities as

2178
02:55:04,440 --> 02:55:10,400
 opposed to things like a tire shop that would not necessarily help much, maybe a couple

2179
02:55:10,400 --> 02:55:16,520
 people going to a barbecue restaurant or something. And the SUP still allows the city to control

2180
02:55:16,520 --> 02:55:21,880
 the expansion of auto service. For example, if there's a vacant lot out there, I think

2181
02:55:21,880 --> 02:55:27,680
 I would have a hard time recommending approval of an auto service. In this transitional area

2182
02:55:27,680 --> 02:55:34,720
 next please, we're taking an existing use and we want to change it. It's going to go

2183
02:55:34,720 --> 02:55:41,200
 vacant or empty and after it goes vacant or empty, it could be abandoned or hopefully

2184
02:55:41,200 --> 02:55:47,160
 repurposed but repurpose has a cost or it could be demolished and redeveloped. But how

2185
02:55:47,160 --> 02:55:51,440
 this moves forward in the future is driven by the economics of the transitional development

2186
02:55:51,440 --> 02:55:58,480
 versus the continuous use. And our rationale for the SUP is shown is that this building

2187
02:55:58,480 --> 02:56:05,520
 is established for a minor auto service in 1964. It has been existed for that, the building

2188
02:56:05,520 --> 02:56:10,800
 has existed for that purpose or use since then. The duplex next door, the completion

2189
02:56:10,800 --> 02:56:20,240
 of construction was in 2020. The retail center was constructed in 1965. Our thought is that

2190
02:56:20,240 --> 02:56:25,840
 an occupied building would be kept up better than one that is left empty or vacant. A vacant

2191
02:56:25,840 --> 02:56:29,920
 building could be neglected and subject to court enforcement efforts to try and keep

2192
02:56:29,920 --> 02:56:37,160
 it in a responsible manner. And as the area tends to transition, the city can still prevent

2193
02:56:37,160 --> 02:56:42,120
 expansion of auto service by the nature of the SUPs, particularly on vacant lots that

2194
02:56:42,120 --> 02:56:47,640
 are not really transitioning, they're just being developed. And the sites may redevelop

2195
02:56:47,640 --> 02:56:53,360
 as the area transitions to a higher economy as the cap rates increase. It may be that

2196
02:56:53,360 --> 02:56:59,320
 more residential rentals will do better than something like a tire shop would and people

2197
02:56:59,320 --> 02:57:04,560
 have an incentive to move. And we encourage the investment, well, the investment in repurpose

2198
02:57:04,560 --> 02:57:09,920
 requires more economic growth to redevelop. It's going to need more things like the neighbors

2199
02:57:09,920 --> 02:57:17,480
 next to us and help it out. We would encourage the city to adopt some incentives that would

2200
02:57:17,480 --> 02:57:23,160
 help land properties want to combine together, make for different type of developments instead

2201
02:57:23,160 --> 02:57:28,760
 of just trying to redevelopment in the current configurations. We could get things too tight

2202
02:57:28,760 --> 02:57:33,880
 and too pressed together. As we see it, the options for the city on the next slide, or

2203
02:57:33,880 --> 02:57:41,040
 you could approve the SUP, which is sure is an active site. You can deny the SUP and it

2204
02:57:41,040 --> 02:57:47,440
 becomes vacant and neglected possibly. Or it becomes vacant and there's property maintenance

2205
02:57:47,440 --> 02:57:52,720
 issues and code enforcement gets involved. Or there's an opportunity for repurpose with

2206
02:57:52,720 --> 02:58:00,160
 cost if this is denied. Or there's an opportunity for redevelopment with cost. We're just considering

2207
02:58:00,160 --> 02:58:06,240
 what is the current and projected economic opportunity for the site. We believe that

2208
02:58:06,240 --> 02:58:12,120
 occupying this building for a similar purpose that people are expecting and accustomed to

2209
02:58:12,120 --> 02:58:18,920
 would be appropriate at this day and time. And does the city have any economic incentives?

2210
02:58:18,920 --> 02:58:22,840
 Certainly the landowner may want to approach the city and downtown redevelopment if they

2211
02:58:22,840 --> 02:58:28,040
 can see about doing some things to help spruce up the site a little bit. I think I've covered

2212
02:58:28,040 --> 02:58:35,000
 all I expected too, and I'll be glad to answer any questions at this time.

2213
02:58:35,000 --> 02:58:43,520
 Thank you, Mr. Allison. Any questions for the applicant? I do not see any, but I appreciate

2214
02:58:43,520 --> 02:58:49,580
 you being here. And if questions come up, certainly stand by. For this, I got Commissioner

2215
02:58:49,580 --> 02:58:55,280
 Beck. I was just going to make a motion for approval with staff recommendations. Okay,

2216
02:58:55,280 --> 02:58:58,720
 just one minute. We actually are still in public hearing. We have someone on the call

2217
02:58:58,720 --> 02:59:03,340
 on the phone who wants to speak. So this item, we didn't have anyone make use of the online

2218
02:59:03,340 --> 02:59:08,100
 comment form, nor did anyone call and leave a message. However, we do have one person

2219
02:59:08,100 --> 02:59:11,720
 who's been holding very patiently to speak with us on the phone this evening. I'm going

2220
02:59:11,720 --> 02:59:32,280
 to ask staff to connect them to us now. Good evening. You are now with the Planning and

2221
02:59:32,280 --> 02:59:36,160
 Zoning Commission. If you could please state your name and your address. You would have

2222
02:59:36,160 --> 02:59:43,320
 three minutes to speak. Okay. Hello, my name is Kent. Last name is

2223
02:59:43,320 --> 02:59:53,200
 Holman, and my address is 538 South Elm. I guess I can get to the chase. Have you had

2224
02:59:53,200 --> 02:59:59,380
 a chance to read the letter that I submitted? We were provided your letter.

2225
02:59:59,380 --> 03:00:04,920
 Okay, and it's been read or not because I don't want to waste time talking about things

2226
03:00:04,920 --> 03:00:09,320
 you already know about. I would say for the edification of the commissioners,

2227
03:00:09,320 --> 03:00:13,880
 just restate some of the high-level things in case anyone didn't read it. It was provided

2228
03:00:13,880 --> 03:00:21,720
 to us. Okay, very good. So we had really three basic

2229
03:00:21,720 --> 03:00:30,200
 concerns. The first was the noise level. I had a chance to look over the planning staff

2230
03:00:30,200 --> 03:00:38,380
 analysis. It doesn't really address the noise level concerns that we had. It talks about

2231
03:00:38,380 --> 03:00:45,160
 the orientation of the paperwork and such, but doesn't really get into the increased

2232
03:00:45,160 --> 03:00:51,200
 traffic. I assumed 18 in my letter, 18 cards a day. Your report says it's probably more

2233
03:00:51,200 --> 03:00:56,640
 like 24 cards a day, weekdays, 88 cards on the weekend. So that's a lot of cards going

2234
03:00:56,640 --> 03:01:00,840
 in and out. I'm concerned about the place. Let me just give you a little background.

2235
03:01:00,840 --> 03:01:08,600
 It's a duplex housing eight students, four students on each side, and they're UNT students,

2236
03:01:08,600 --> 03:01:16,880
 so everybody's online, and I'm really trying to keep the noise to a minimum there. So that

2237
03:01:16,880 --> 03:01:23,400
 was my major concern was just the noise for them through traffic and, of course, through

2238
03:01:23,400 --> 03:01:31,520
 impact wrenches and other equipment used for the tire services. My second concern was that

2239
03:01:31,520 --> 03:01:40,360
 there's already at least four places within a half mile that are doing the tire service,

2240
03:01:40,360 --> 03:01:43,200
 including right across the street. You've got Hugo's across the street. You've got

2241
03:01:43,200 --> 03:01:51,200
 Briscoe that's .2 miles away. You have PMB and Automax that are both a half mile away.

2242
03:01:51,200 --> 03:01:57,640
 So to argue that the service is necessary downtown, I just don't think that holds a

2243
03:01:57,640 --> 03:02:06,400
 whole lot of water. Your analysis talks about scale and form sensitivity to surrounding

2244
03:02:06,400 --> 03:02:13,880
 build context. Well, I mean, I'm not sure in scale that you need a fifth tire shop within

2245
03:02:13,880 --> 03:02:20,800
 that area, but that's my two cents. Your report also talks about the visual impact

2246
03:02:20,800 --> 03:02:28,280
 and makes quite a big deal basically over moving a dumpster, but I don't know if you

2247
03:02:28,280 --> 03:02:33,400
 guys have looked at this property, like really looked at it, and I'm wondering, and I don't

2248
03:02:33,400 --> 03:02:39,480
 know if this can be answered, what city ordinances cover this place because it's got two signs

2249
03:02:39,480 --> 03:02:43,800
 that have exposed electrical hanging off of it. One of them at a tilt, don't know how

2250
03:02:43,800 --> 03:02:50,040
 long it's going to last. It's got a retaining wall that's on its property that is looking

2251
03:02:50,040 --> 03:02:56,480
 pretty compromised. There's an area that holds water next to this place. The paint is a mess.

2252
03:02:56,480 --> 03:03:04,600
 So to say that the visual impact is a dumpster up front, I think it's a real misrepresentation

2253
03:03:04,600 --> 03:03:13,720
 of what's going on there. So I don't want to take up a whole bunch of your time, but

2254
03:03:13,720 --> 03:03:19,520
 I do hope you'll read our letter and I am interested. I do have questions, so it's kind

2255
03:03:19,520 --> 03:03:25,160
 of sad that I have three minutes because I have questions about the city ordinances and

2256
03:03:25,160 --> 03:03:30,800
 how they cover a property like this and what are the permit circumstances for them. They

2257
03:03:30,800 --> 03:03:35,600
 didn't have a permit or they had a shop next door to me for three years that apparently

2258
03:03:35,600 --> 03:03:42,280
 wasn't permitted. I mean, maybe there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for that,

2259
03:03:42,280 --> 03:03:47,520
 but I just like to know that. I don't want to assume bad things about the property owner,

2260
03:03:47,520 --> 03:03:54,880
 but I'd like to know what the situation was. I guess I'll just sum up by saying, my wife

2261
03:03:54,880 --> 03:04:00,640
 and I, we built that place as an investment. It took a year because of COVID and so to

2262
03:04:00,640 --> 03:04:07,680
 have a tire shop that's going to create noise next to it, that impacts what I can charge

2263
03:04:07,680 --> 03:04:12,120
 for the place, impacts my property value. And I just, I really don't feel like it's

2264
03:04:12,120 --> 03:04:16,320
 the right thing to do. You know, when I built that place, I could have put two of those

2265
03:04:16,320 --> 03:04:22,080
 places on the same property. And I'd say this in my letter, but I chose not to because parking

2266
03:04:22,080 --> 03:04:29,200
 is an issue down there. So I put my own parking and put one building. And so I do have the

2267
03:04:29,200 --> 03:04:34,480
 city's interests at heart. And I really hope that y'all will just take that into consideration.

2268
03:04:34,480 --> 03:04:39,080
 And I'm sure my three minutes is up. So I really appreciate the time to talk to all

2269
03:04:39,080 --> 03:04:40,080
 of y'all tonight.

2270
03:04:40,080 --> 03:04:45,200
 Well, I appreciate it being patient calling in. It's certainly valuable to have public

2271
03:04:45,200 --> 03:04:53,820
 inputs. I appreciate that. Is there any questions for the caller? I do not see any questions

2272
03:04:53,820 --> 03:04:56,700
 and there is no one else wanting to speak.

2273
03:04:56,700 --> 03:04:57,700
 Commissioner Ellis.

2274
03:04:57,700 --> 03:05:04,920
 Thank you, chair. It's not really a question, but maybe Sean, maybe you could get with him

2275
03:05:04,920 --> 03:05:08,680
 offline. Obviously he has questions about other things with regard to development downtown

2276
03:05:08,680 --> 03:05:14,060
 and around his site. So maybe you can get together and direct him to where in the city

2277
03:05:14,060 --> 03:05:17,040
 he can get some questions answered.

2278
03:05:17,040 --> 03:05:19,080
 Certainly. Absolutely.

2279
03:05:19,080 --> 03:05:26,080
 Yeah, that'd be great. You know, I just, I don't know about if signs can be nonconforming,

2280
03:05:26,080 --> 03:05:30,320
 you know, like they are now or, you know, if there are other repair issues that are

2281
03:05:30,320 --> 03:05:34,720
 nonconforming. I'd like to know about that. I found them in the city ordinances, but I'm

2282
03:05:34,720 --> 03:05:39,720
 not really sure if they apply. And I certainly, I could use the education if nothing else.

2283
03:05:39,720 --> 03:05:45,320
 Well, our staff is a wealth of information, so you will be enlightened. I know it.

2284
03:05:45,320 --> 03:05:47,960
 Yeah, for sure. For sure.

2285
03:05:47,960 --> 03:05:51,120
 That's a good recommendation, Commissioner Ellis. Thank you for doing that. And thank

2286
03:05:51,120 --> 03:05:56,440
 you, Sean, for following up with him. At this time, we're going to close the public hearing.

2287
03:05:56,440 --> 03:06:05,040
 And Commissioner Beck, I want to come back to you. You. Commissioner Smith seems to have

2288
03:06:05,040 --> 03:06:06,040
 a comment.

2289
03:06:06,040 --> 03:06:10,520
 No, I'm going to second your motion, Commissioner Beck. I would like to make a motion to approve

2290
03:06:10,520 --> 03:06:12,600
 with staff recommendations then, Chair.

2291
03:06:12,600 --> 03:06:15,240
 Gotcha. I appreciate that. And Commissioner Smith?

2292
03:06:15,240 --> 03:06:20,840
 I'd like to second before I finish my motion. I just want to say to the individual that

2293
03:06:20,840 --> 03:06:26,840
 built your duplex next to the subject property, you know, but I feel your pain on having an

2294
03:06:26,840 --> 03:06:31,920
 investment and possibly having something next to it that might lessen that investment cost

2295
03:06:31,920 --> 03:06:38,480
 or that investment value. It is historic. I shouldn't call it historic. It is a legacy

2296
03:06:38,480 --> 03:06:45,280
 piece downtown of has a history of being entire shop. And I think that Mr. Allison mentioned

2297
03:06:45,280 --> 03:06:51,160
 a little while ago that there's really kind of the best possible option is for us to allow

2298
03:06:51,160 --> 03:06:56,240
 for development of that property and to a lot of your facade questions about exposed

2299
03:06:56,240 --> 03:07:00,400
 wires and signs and retaining walls and dumpsters and those kinds of things. I'm sure knowing

2300
03:07:00,400 --> 03:07:05,120
 Mr. Allison and Allison Engineering's work, they're probably not going to move a tenant

2301
03:07:05,120 --> 03:07:10,040
 into that space without doing some improvements and beautifying it just a little bit. So at

2302
03:07:10,040 --> 03:07:13,040
 the very least, yeah, you might have a fifth tire shop, but at the very least, you may

2303
03:07:13,040 --> 03:07:18,240
 not have as much of an eyesore on your hands. So with that, I will second the motion to

2304
03:07:18,240 --> 03:07:20,160
 Commissioner Beck.

2305
03:07:20,160 --> 03:07:25,640
 We have a first and a second. Any discussion on the item? Scene nine, I'm going to call

2306
03:07:25,640 --> 03:07:27,440
 for a vote via roll call.

2307
03:07:27,440 --> 03:07:36,240
 Commissioner Beck. Aye. Commissioner Ellis. Aye. Commissioner Anderson. Aye. Commissioner

2308
03:07:36,240 --> 03:07:45,920
 Cole. Aye. Commissioner Smith. Aye. Commissioner Pernetta. Aye. Chair is also an aye. Motion

2309
03:07:45,920 --> 03:07:57,760
 carries seven zero. The next item of business is item five CZCI 20-0001B. This item is being

2310
03:07:57,760 --> 03:08:01,520
 presented by Ron Maguida and I will open the public hearing.

2311
03:08:01,520 --> 03:08:08,640
 Thank you, Chair. Ron Maguida, principal planner with Development Services. Let me pull up

2312
03:08:08,640 --> 03:08:30,080
 my presentation. And here we go. This is a rezoning, zoning change request for property

2313
03:08:30,080 --> 03:08:39,640
 located at the Loop. Presentation will be made by myself, including Danny Shaw with Community

2314
03:08:39,640 --> 03:08:46,160
 Development. She is the community services manager. She is aware and more familiar with

2315
03:08:46,160 --> 03:08:50,580
 as far as the programming of the subject used. But what we're going to be talking about first

2316
03:08:50,580 --> 03:08:59,240
 is the subject rezoning. For your edification, the property is located here on Loop 288.

2317
03:08:59,240 --> 03:09:06,120
 The request is to rezone the property from SC Suburban Corridor to Public Facilities PF.

2318
03:09:06,120 --> 03:09:11,440
 It's approximately five acres. It is currently an existing commercial building with parking

2319
03:09:11,440 --> 03:09:20,160
 lot, a parking lot. And again, located along the Loop, which is a primary arterial. This

2320
03:09:20,160 --> 03:09:25,360
 slide here illustrates the current zoning as shown to the left. It is currently zone

2321
03:09:25,360 --> 03:09:31,480
 SC, which is the light pink. If approved, the proposed zoning of PF will be shown as

2322
03:09:31,480 --> 03:09:42,400
 such, basically closing off all the blue in that particular area of Loop 288. A couple

2323
03:09:42,400 --> 03:09:49,240
 of criteria of approval are provided in the development code. This particular set of criteria

2324
03:09:49,240 --> 03:09:54,580
 apply to all applications. As you can see, there are 13. I've highlighted three specifically

2325
03:09:54,580 --> 03:10:00,260
 as it relates to the comprehensive plan, how it minimizes adverse impacts to the surrounding

2326
03:10:00,260 --> 03:10:07,680
 property and how it provides adequate public services and facilities. There is also a set

2327
03:10:07,680 --> 03:10:15,800
 of requirements or approval criteria that is related to zoning map amendment, which

2328
03:10:15,800 --> 03:10:22,080
 is rezonings. As you can see here, the list I'll read quickly is one, that it's consistent

2329
03:10:22,080 --> 03:10:26,920
 with the future land use map. Two, that it's consistent with the relevant small area plan,

2330
03:10:26,920 --> 03:10:31,240
 which there are none in this location. That is consistent with the purpose statement of

2331
03:10:31,240 --> 03:10:37,280
 the proposed zoning of PF in that there have been or will be significant changes in the

2332
03:10:37,280 --> 03:10:43,000
 area to warrant the zoning. Another criteria is the intensity of the development of the

2333
03:10:43,000 --> 03:10:49,500
 new zoning would not have adverse impacts to the surrounding properties or neighborhood.

2334
03:10:49,500 --> 03:10:55,120
 Public service and facilities are provided and are adequate and this current zoning was

2335
03:10:55,120 --> 03:11:05,680
 not an error in establishing the zoning map. Excuse me. The first item is the comprehensive

2336
03:11:05,680 --> 03:11:13,800
 plan. Is it consistent in staff's analysis? Shows that it is. The non-residential use

2337
03:11:13,800 --> 03:11:22,880
 along loop 288 is an appropriate use. The facility that's being proposed will provide

2338
03:11:22,880 --> 03:11:29,120
 a program that will serve our community of need. It is a redevelopment of an underutilized

2339
03:11:29,120 --> 03:11:35,680
 property, complies with the standards of the DDC and meets all the other requirements as

2340
03:11:35,680 --> 03:11:43,600
 per the site plan. As far as the impacts to the surrounding property, as you see here,

2341
03:11:43,600 --> 03:11:51,180
 the property to the north is zone PF with not much development. It's currently undeveloped.

2342
03:11:51,180 --> 03:11:55,960
 To the west is an electric substation, an electric substation that is, with residential

2343
03:11:55,960 --> 03:12:02,420
 neighborhood further to the west. And then to the south is an undeveloped property, zone

2344
03:12:02,420 --> 03:12:09,280
 R7. And then to the east is loop 288 and additional undeveloped properties that are currently

2345
03:12:09,280 --> 03:12:18,240
 zone either PD or MM. This slide here illustrates a little bit closer look on what's surrounding

2346
03:12:18,240 --> 03:12:24,480
 the property. Again, the substation is directly to the west with Audre Meadows to the west,

2347
03:12:24,480 --> 03:12:29,760
 further west, and then Mockingbird Heights even further to the west. To the east, we

2348
03:12:29,760 --> 03:12:39,560
 have prominent square and undeveloped property as well. The site itself, just for purposes

2349
03:12:39,560 --> 03:12:46,520
 of information, from the border to the nearest residential home is approximately 700 feet

2350
03:12:46,520 --> 03:12:53,880
 away. The next few slides illustrate just what the view is from a major roadway. In

2351
03:12:53,880 --> 03:12:59,520
 this case, this is loop 288 looking west. You can see that in the background, the substation

2352
03:12:59,520 --> 03:13:06,600
 is located between the building and the Audre Meadows, the residential neighborhood to the

2353
03:13:06,600 --> 03:13:14,600
 west. This is from Audre looking south, southwest. Just to illustrate that there is some masonry

2354
03:13:14,600 --> 03:13:21,440
 wall that borders the substation and there are wood fences that also border the neighborhood

2355
03:13:21,440 --> 03:13:31,360
 to the west. Between there, there is a gap where, again, there is open space. One of

2356
03:13:31,360 --> 03:13:36,080
 the other things that we look at when we look at rezoning is what this zoning that's being

2357
03:13:36,080 --> 03:13:44,200
 proposed will allow if it were to be approved. The list that you see here are allowed uses

2358
03:13:44,200 --> 03:13:49,840
 in the PF zoning district. Just wanted to highlight three specific ones in purpose of

2359
03:13:49,840 --> 03:13:57,280
 why PF has been selected. Community services, homeless shelter, administrative, professional,

2360
03:13:57,280 --> 03:14:06,160
 and government offices are permitted uses or allowed uses within the PF. So with this,

2361
03:14:06,160 --> 03:14:13,800
 I'm going to turn the presentation to Danny Shaw who will discuss and talk about what

2362
03:14:13,800 --> 03:14:20,480
 the proposed use is being considered for this site. So if Danny is available, we can have

2363
03:14:20,480 --> 03:14:30,120
 her start the presentation. Her presentation. Thank you, Ron. Can you hear me? Yes. Good

2364
03:14:30,120 --> 03:14:37,160
 evening, commissioners. Just want to go through what the proposed services are for this facility.

2365
03:14:37,160 --> 03:14:43,120
 It is proposed to provide public services for people who are in need of emergency assistance,

2366
03:14:43,120 --> 03:14:47,520
 including those who are experiencing and those who are at risk of homelessness because of

2367
03:14:47,520 --> 03:14:53,680
 issues of poverty. The facility would provide the wraparound services to address those effects

2368
03:14:53,680 --> 03:14:59,520
 of poverty and to help with emergency assistance for folks in our community with a focus on

2369
03:14:59,520 --> 03:15:05,920
 providing housing stability and then also overnight shelter for people experiencing homelessness.

2370
03:15:05,920 --> 03:15:10,560
 There would be services provision in the facility for addressing any of those needs that folks

2371
03:15:10,560 --> 03:15:22,640
 have. Sorry, Danny, was that the end of your discussion? Yes. Thank you. Just to provide

2372
03:15:22,640 --> 03:15:28,040
 information regarding the notification, public outreach efforts, there were notices sent

2373
03:15:28,040 --> 03:15:36,320
 out to property owners within 200 feet. We also sent out residents with postcards within

2374
03:15:36,320 --> 03:15:41,800
 1,000 feet. We normally send it out within 500 feet. However, looking at the map, you

2375
03:15:41,800 --> 03:15:50,160
 can see that there would not be much. So staff did extend that buffer area to 1,000 where

2376
03:15:50,160 --> 03:15:55,680
 it did reach the residents to the west, Audre Meadows and also Parliament Square to the

2377
03:15:55,680 --> 03:16:03,320
 east. Notices were also published on the website and in the newspaper. And just for background

2378
03:16:03,320 --> 03:16:08,320
 information, you see a June 4, 2020 date there. This item was supposed to be brought forward

2379
03:16:08,320 --> 03:16:15,200
 earlier in the year. However, due to ownership, obtaining ownership of the site, it was decided

2380
03:16:15,200 --> 03:16:22,080
 to be postponed. But we did have a virtual neighborhood meeting on June 4 and was attended

2381
03:16:22,080 --> 03:16:28,840
 by a group of folks, I would say six or seven folks that attended and had questions. And

2382
03:16:28,840 --> 03:16:33,520
 I'm going to turn back the presentation to Danny and talk about what was discussed and

2383
03:16:33,520 --> 03:16:41,880
 how staff is responding to those comments and input.

2384
03:16:41,880 --> 03:16:49,160
 Thank you, Ron. During the public, virtual public meeting, we did hear from the residents

2385
03:16:49,160 --> 03:16:54,940
 and they did address, and I'm assuming the slide is up, we comprised a summary of some

2386
03:16:54,940 --> 03:16:59,140
 of the concerns that were shared during that meeting, concerns for the negative impact

2387
03:16:59,140 --> 03:17:05,920
 on property values, the potential for increased crime, concerns for safety of the residents,

2388
03:17:05,920 --> 03:17:12,940
 questions about what the city will be doing to control traffic to the facility, information

2389
03:17:12,940 --> 03:17:20,120
 on what were plans for the area around the center and in conjunction to the neighborhood.

2390
03:17:20,120 --> 03:17:25,720
 And then looking at some questions about were there other locations identified for the purpose

2391
03:17:25,720 --> 03:17:31,600
 of the center and would we, as a city, prevent individuals from living unsheltered from camping

2392
03:17:31,600 --> 03:17:37,440
 near the center. In consideration of those comments, the city did provide a letter of

2393
03:17:37,440 --> 03:17:43,400
 notice back to the participants of that meeting to address some of their concerns and what

2394
03:17:43,400 --> 03:17:47,800
 steps we would be taking to look at those. First and foremost, just want to make it clear

2395
03:17:47,800 --> 03:17:54,120
 that the city will not allow camping anywhere around the facility. And there will be steps

2396
03:17:54,120 --> 03:18:00,640
 that taking place to ensure that that doesn't happen. And then we're looking at some different

2397
03:18:00,640 --> 03:18:06,200
 practices with our agreement with the nonprofit provider that would set out some expectations

2398
03:18:06,200 --> 03:18:12,340
 for that provider to make sure they are maintaining the area around the facility as well as maintaining

2399
03:18:12,340 --> 03:18:17,660
 good neighbor practices with the neighborhood, including making sure they have regular neighborhood

2400
03:18:17,660 --> 03:18:23,200
 meetings to address any concerns that are coming up. And then we will have the ability

2401
03:18:23,200 --> 03:18:29,000
 to connect to the city's new mental health unit to provide any immediate response to

2402
03:18:29,000 --> 03:18:36,080
 any situations that do come up. And with that, I'll turn it back to you, Ron.

2403
03:18:36,080 --> 03:18:42,160
 Thank you, Danny. The slide here, just to illustrate that there was notices that were

2404
03:18:42,160 --> 03:18:48,000
 sent out with a November 3rd city council public hearing. That has changed and the updated

2405
03:18:48,000 --> 03:18:54,000
 date is now November 10th. So for those that are watching and those that are listening,

2406
03:18:54,000 --> 03:19:02,600
 the new city council date for this particular item will be now November 10th, 2020. With

2407
03:19:02,600 --> 03:19:09,360
 that, staff is recommending approval of this request as it complies with the sections listed

2408
03:19:09,360 --> 03:19:18,320
 there and the items under the zoning approval criteria. Therefore, again, staff is recommending

2409
03:19:18,320 --> 03:19:22,240
 approval. This concludes my presentation. I will stand for questions.

2410
03:19:22,240 --> 03:19:27,840
 Great. Thank you, Ron. I know we have individuals on the phone as well, but if we have any initial

2411
03:19:27,840 --> 03:19:34,040
 questions for Ron, happy to look to hear those. Commissioner Smith.

2412
03:19:34,040 --> 03:19:39,400
 Ron, did we get any conversation from traffic about some of the questions I asked about

2413
03:19:39,400 --> 03:19:44,800
 the sidewalks or sidewalks or those kinds of things? Did we have any more information

2414
03:19:44,800 --> 03:19:49,060
 came out of the work session? Other than what was presented during the work

2415
03:19:49,060 --> 03:19:54,520
 session, I know that I stand corrected. There is actually development to the south under

2416
03:19:54,520 --> 03:20:01,200
 a zoning compliance plan review right now, where obviously if any development occurs,

2417
03:20:01,200 --> 03:20:06,680
 sidewalks will be constructed to link the property from where it is now to the property

2418
03:20:06,680 --> 03:20:11,640
 to the south. I believe it's a multifamily development where there's currently sidewalks.

2419
03:20:11,640 --> 03:20:17,480
 I know that our traffic engineer spoke during the work session and mentioned a future light

2420
03:20:17,480 --> 03:20:24,160
 at Audra and Prominence. However, a timeline for that has not yet been determined.

2421
03:20:24,160 --> 03:20:31,600
 If this zoning was to be approved, what is the timeline for the city to, this might be

2422
03:20:31,600 --> 03:20:36,960
 a Danny question, what's the timeline for the city on beginning a process of converting

2423
03:20:36,960 --> 03:20:41,960
 this into the shelter? Yeah, if I can have Danny answer the timing

2424
03:20:41,960 --> 03:20:46,320
 question. Right. Last night, city council did approve

2425
03:20:46,320 --> 03:20:51,480
 a contract with an architect to begin the design phase. The architect is proposing about

2426
03:20:51,480 --> 03:20:56,960
 three months to go through that process, and then the construction phase at a minimum nine

2427
03:20:56,960 --> 03:21:05,320
 months before it would be renovated. Okay. All right. Thank you.

2428
03:21:05,320 --> 03:21:15,520
 Commissioner Anderson. Thank you, Chair. This may be going to Ron

2429
03:21:15,520 --> 03:21:22,480
 or Danny. You say that the city is not going to allow camping in the, you know, behind

2430
03:21:22,480 --> 03:21:28,080
 the building. Apparently the city didn't allow camping next to the present Mont Signor King

2431
03:21:28,080 --> 03:21:35,200
 place, and that place looked like a dump. There was tent camps all throughout that area

2432
03:21:35,200 --> 03:21:40,960
 for years until finally people complained and complained enough that the city came and

2433
03:21:40,960 --> 03:21:46,640
 drove them out that all that did is move them to across the street to more trees. So I'd

2434
03:21:46,640 --> 03:21:54,200
 like to know how is the city going to protect these citizens whose house abuts the property?

2435
03:21:54,200 --> 03:21:59,000
 How are they going to provide that? Because I work on McKinney Street and I drive up and

2436
03:21:59,000 --> 03:22:03,480
 down the street every day. And I know when these people get out of that Mont Signor King,

2437
03:22:03,480 --> 03:22:08,760
 because I've been in meetings with this, they bother people on the streets going, I need

2438
03:22:08,760 --> 03:22:13,520
 your phone. I need your phone. I need to make a phone call. And we've had to get the police

2439
03:22:13,520 --> 03:22:19,840
 involved and to protect some of these people. And I know it's going to be, and I totally

2440
03:22:19,840 --> 03:22:25,120
 understand this citizen's concerns that property lives there that back up to that property

2441
03:22:25,120 --> 03:22:30,280
 because they're going to have to walk from McKinney Street and all these other places

2442
03:22:30,280 --> 03:22:34,480
 down through their neighborhoods to get to this place. I just like to know how the city

2443
03:22:34,480 --> 03:22:39,720
 is going to address not having these people bother the citizens in that neighborhood and

2444
03:22:39,720 --> 03:22:45,720
 also provide that they're not going to sleep in the trees behind there.

2445
03:22:45,720 --> 03:22:51,240
 I'll just quickly respond and I think Danny has a little bit more of an elaborate response.

2446
03:22:51,240 --> 03:22:55,560
 I know that we're trying to be proactive and we're looking for solutions and working with

2447
03:22:55,560 --> 03:23:02,660
 the property owners or residents. So with that, I think we know what has happened and we want

2448
03:23:02,660 --> 03:23:08,160
 to be proactive and address those upfront. So I think Danny, you had some ideas or had

2449
03:23:08,160 --> 03:23:15,880
 some additional comments, correct? I appreciate the commissioner's comments on encampments.

2450
03:23:15,880 --> 03:23:20,400
 We do have encampments in the community and we do have a process where we're addressing

2451
03:23:20,400 --> 03:23:26,200
 those. And the process does take some time in some cases to look at where the property

2452
03:23:26,200 --> 03:23:33,120
 is located. But in this case for this area, we will have a no tolerance, zero tolerance

2453
03:23:33,120 --> 03:23:38,720
 for any encampments in a designated buffer area around this facility. And then we are

2454
03:23:38,720 --> 03:23:42,720
 continuing to update our processes on how we address homeless encampments in the city

2455
03:23:42,720 --> 03:23:49,440
 overall. Monsignor King was a good lesson for us on how we can look at where those are

2456
03:23:49,440 --> 03:23:55,800
 and how to move and mobilize resources to correct those situations when we can.

2457
03:23:55,800 --> 03:24:00,560
 Right. I mean, by no means, I'm not saying I do not want to help the homeless. They need

2458
03:24:00,560 --> 03:24:07,840
 help. It's a sad situation. But I know business owners that are across the street from the

2459
03:24:07,840 --> 03:24:13,000
 church in downtown on Oak Street. And they've found these people on top of their buildings,

2460
03:24:13,000 --> 03:24:17,280
 living on top of their building. They had to run them off from there because they've

2461
03:24:17,280 --> 03:24:20,120
 destroyed the roof. They had to come in and pay tens of thousands of dollars to have the

2462
03:24:20,120 --> 03:24:25,880
 roof redone. So, you know, I hope the city can come up with some kind of solution to

2463
03:24:25,880 --> 03:24:30,400
 protect the neighborhoods because I've seen it and I know friends that have businesses

2464
03:24:30,400 --> 03:24:34,980
 have been affected by this. So that's all I have to say. Thank you. Absolutely. Yeah.

2465
03:24:34,980 --> 03:24:39,840
 Thank you for your comments. We absolutely will. Thank you. Any other questions for staff

2466
03:24:39,840 --> 03:24:46,000
 at this point? And if not, commit to share this. Thanks, Chair. Ron, is there any more

2467
03:24:46,000 --> 03:24:52,960
 clarity on my question from work session? Okay. Yes, we do. And I appreciate the question

2468
03:24:52,960 --> 03:25:02,080
 comment. We did spend a little bit more time on reviewing that U-specific standard 534C.

2469
03:25:02,080 --> 03:25:08,480
 All of those U-specific standards, the city will comply with. It is something that we

2470
03:25:08,480 --> 03:25:14,720
 will. However, I just want to make mention that the U-specific standard, what it says

2471
03:25:14,720 --> 03:25:22,600
 on the separation that if a proposed homeless shelter is within 1,000 feet of another homeless

2472
03:25:22,600 --> 03:25:29,920
 shelter and/or private or public school, then the number 2 and 3 would apply. But since

2473
03:25:29,920 --> 03:25:36,320
 there is not, in this particular case, that section will not need, we would not need to

2474
03:25:36,320 --> 03:25:41,920
 comply with it because it's not within 1,000 feet. But I guess the question that you had,

2475
03:25:41,920 --> 03:25:46,980
 if we were, say, within 1,000 feet, the city would need to comply with all those notification

2476
03:25:46,980 --> 03:25:58,520
 and requirements. Okay. So you're saying that C1, so it doesn't

2477
03:25:58,520 --> 03:26:04,080
 comply to C1. This particular site does not comply, correct?

2478
03:26:04,080 --> 03:26:12,800
 Right. And so that negates the other two. Correct. And the consent, which we're doing

2479
03:26:12,800 --> 03:26:22,840
 anyway. Okay. All right. Thank you. You're welcome. Okay. Commissioner Beck.

2480
03:26:22,840 --> 03:26:28,760
 Thank you, Chair. So I just wanted, for the point of clarity, and I think Commissioner

2481
03:26:28,760 --> 03:26:33,560
 Ellis brought this up, or maybe it was you, Chair, that this particular item is about

2482
03:26:33,560 --> 03:26:40,400
 the zoning. And while we do need to be mindful about the uses, it sounds like Ron is saying

2483
03:26:40,400 --> 03:26:45,560
 that we have to follow all our own guidelines, which is admirable. One should follow one's

2484
03:26:45,560 --> 03:26:52,680
 own guidelines. So that sounds like we're staying in line with our activities. Is that

2485
03:26:52,680 --> 03:26:56,760
 correct, Ron? That's correct. Any of the, and that's the

2486
03:26:56,760 --> 03:27:02,420
 reason why the zoning is in place, or this rezoning request is currently under consideration

2487
03:27:02,420 --> 03:27:06,600
 is we want to make sure that we follow the development code and in all other development

2488
03:27:06,600 --> 03:27:11,520
 code related standards. Thank you, Ron.

2489
03:27:11,520 --> 03:27:15,440
 Commissioner Ellis. Thank you, Chair. And I'm sorry, Ron, I'm

2490
03:27:15,440 --> 03:27:19,960
 going to ask for a little bit more clarification because I just reread this. I understand why

2491
03:27:19,960 --> 03:27:28,920
 separation wouldn't apply here at all. And I also understand even municipal consent not

2492
03:27:28,920 --> 03:27:36,640
 applying since it sounds like it's the city who is initiating the shelter. It's really

2493
03:27:36,640 --> 03:27:42,160
 the notice paragraph. And the reason I'm asking about this is, again, because there's good

2494
03:27:42,160 --> 03:27:48,520
 discussion to be had on how to make this the best if the zoning case passes. And so I just

2495
03:27:48,520 --> 03:27:57,160
 want to ensure that that talk continues. So to me, I mean, if this applies to the city,

2496
03:27:57,160 --> 03:28:01,920
 it would seem like after the zoning, if it gets passed, that you would have to put notice

2497
03:28:01,920 --> 03:28:11,800
 on the building. Am I not reading that correctly? Let me ask Richard if...

2498
03:28:11,800 --> 03:28:18,360
 That would be correct. So C2A would be the one that we would follow. So since we're not

2499
03:28:18,360 --> 03:28:26,240
 within that thousand feet of another shelter or school, one and three essentially are tied

2500
03:28:26,240 --> 03:28:34,200
 together so those would not apply. The component of two would where that would be posted.

2501
03:28:34,200 --> 03:28:46,560
 And you're saying 2A, not 2B? Correct, because it wouldn't be required.

2502
03:28:46,560 --> 03:28:52,040
 I'm sorry. Yes, it would. So it would be that 61 days before. What wouldn't kick in would

2503
03:28:52,040 --> 03:28:59,480
 be the public hearing or resolution that would be mentioned under C3.

2504
03:28:59,480 --> 03:29:08,360
 Okay. And it doesn't matter. I know a nonprofit would be involved here, but it would still

2505
03:29:08,360 --> 03:29:15,800
 be considered that the city would be the owner of the shelter. Is that correct? And the nonprofit

2506
03:29:15,800 --> 03:29:21,320
 would just be servicing it. So they wouldn't be considered the other person as it relates

2507
03:29:21,320 --> 03:29:29,400
 to these use specific standards. I'm not sure how the lease agreement is structured,

2508
03:29:29,400 --> 03:29:37,040
 but yes, maybe Danny can add. Yeah, we will retain ownership of the facility

2509
03:29:37,040 --> 03:29:43,180
 and we will be utilizing an agreement that allows a nonprofit to manage the facility

2510
03:29:43,180 --> 03:29:48,480
 and services only. Okay. Very good. Okay. Thank you, Danny.

2511
03:29:48,480 --> 03:29:53,560
 And then just Commissioner, just a recap real quick. Yes, then C2, the notice is we will

2512
03:29:53,560 --> 03:30:01,560
 do if this were to move forward and home shelter does become part of this use.

2513
03:30:01,560 --> 03:30:09,360
 Okay. Very good. Thank you, Ron. Okay. At this time, I'm going to go ahead and

2514
03:30:09,360 --> 03:30:15,120
 go to the phones. They've been waiting patiently. I know we have a list kind of stacked up.

2515
03:30:15,120 --> 03:30:20,560
 So at this time, I'm going to ask staff to patch in the first caller and we'll start

2516
03:30:20,560 --> 03:30:35,120
 there. Good evening. You are on with the planning

2517
03:30:35,120 --> 03:30:38,760
 and zoning commission. If you could please state your name and address, you'll be provided

2518
03:30:38,760 --> 03:30:47,040
 three minutes to speak on this item. Yes. My name is Robert Grable, G-R-E-B-E-L.

2519
03:30:47,040 --> 03:30:52,800
 Address is 820 Brittany Drive in Denton and then one of the houses in the Audre Meadows

2520
03:30:52,800 --> 03:30:58,280
 back behind the electric thing and the facility that's under discussion.

2521
03:30:58,280 --> 03:31:04,520
 Great. Thanks for being here. You have three minutes to provide us your perspective.

2522
03:31:04,520 --> 03:31:13,960
 Sure. Yeah. I wanted to speak in favor of the rezoning to PF. I know eventually to turn

2523
03:31:13,960 --> 03:31:25,000
 the facility into a homeless shelter or providing services for homeless or at risk. As somebody

2524
03:31:25,000 --> 03:31:31,200
 who lives in that area and I've lived near the shelter that's run by Salvation Army,

2525
03:31:31,200 --> 03:31:41,480
 I think I've had nothing but either positive or neutral experiences with that kind of thing.

2526
03:31:41,480 --> 03:31:50,000
 And I think that using this as a homeless shelter is a good thing to do. I don't know

2527
03:31:50,000 --> 03:31:57,280
 how much more I can elaborate on that, but I guess I also wanted to say that the neighborhood

2528
03:31:57,280 --> 03:32:04,680
 I'm in, Audre Meadows, it's not like there's easy access going back behind the proposed

2529
03:32:04,680 --> 03:32:13,560
 shelter into this neighborhood. So it's not, you know, residential areas in the area, it's

2530
03:32:13,560 --> 03:32:19,720
 not like it's a concern that, I don't know, that's not a concern that I understand, I

2531
03:32:19,720 --> 03:32:24,760
 guess is what I would say. Well, Mr. Grable, I appreciate you being on

2532
03:32:24,760 --> 03:32:30,120
 the line and holding for us and then providing your support for the project. Thanks for adding

2533
03:32:30,120 --> 03:32:33,400
 that perspective. Sure. Thank you very much.

2534
03:32:33,400 --> 03:32:41,040
 Thank you. Have a good night. Thank you, too.

2535
03:32:41,040 --> 03:32:56,240
 And if I could ask staff to go ahead and patch in the next caller. Good evening, you're on

2536
03:32:56,240 --> 03:33:00,360
 with the Planning and Zoning Commission. If you could state your name and address, you'll

2537
03:33:00,360 --> 03:33:07,600
 have three minutes to tell us your perspective. Okay. Hi, I'm Jane Piper Lunt, and I live

2538
03:33:07,600 --> 03:33:16,560
 at 1205 North Austin. I am for this, and I just want to kind of address some of the concerns

2539
03:33:16,560 --> 03:33:24,000
 of the homeowners. I lived on the square up until three years ago, less than a block away

2540
03:33:24,000 --> 03:33:31,360
 from our daily bread, and we never had any problems, ever, ever, ever. I now live on

2541
03:33:31,360 --> 03:33:37,760
 Austin Street, and we have several homeless who go up and down our street every day, and

2542
03:33:37,760 --> 03:33:42,960
 they're nothing but congenial and friendly, and they mind their own business, and they

2543
03:33:42,960 --> 03:33:49,280
 are going where they're going. I've worked with homeless people since the '80s, and they

2544
03:33:49,280 --> 03:33:55,280
 have, you know, they don't just take strolls, okay? You know, so they have no reason to

2545
03:33:55,280 --> 03:34:03,280
 go into that neighborhood, okay? And their needs will be met there. There's going to

2546
03:34:03,280 --> 03:34:08,000
 be a whole lot less foot traffic, I would guess, than there was from Monsignor King,

2547
03:34:08,000 --> 03:34:12,200
 because the food's there, and they're now having to walk into town, you know, and then

2548
03:34:12,200 --> 03:34:22,680
 walk back to Monsignor King. The organizations that will be doing this are very competent

2549
03:34:22,680 --> 03:34:31,240
 people, and my understanding is there's going to be sensing. So, you know, I think it's

2550
03:34:31,240 --> 03:34:41,560
 just the usual fear of people you don't know, and so I'm asking you guys to pass this.

2551
03:34:41,560 --> 03:34:48,360
 Jane, I appreciate calling in and providing that perspective. Does any commissioners have

2552
03:34:48,360 --> 03:34:53,100
 any questions? Okay, I don't see any questions for you, but I appreciate you being on hold

2553
03:34:53,100 --> 03:34:59,600
 and waiting for us. Hope you have a good night. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. If I could ask

2554
03:34:59,600 --> 03:35:17,920
 staff to patch in the next caller. Good evening. You are on with the Planning and Zoning Commission.

2555
03:35:17,920 --> 03:35:21,360
 Jane, if you could just state your name and address, you'll have three minutes to speak

2556
03:35:21,360 --> 03:35:30,480
 about the matter. Hi, my name is Mary Higgins, and I am representing the family property

2557
03:35:30,480 --> 03:35:38,740
 at 3760 Holland Lane in Denton. It's due east of the proposed shelter, and I'm speaking

2558
03:35:38,740 --> 03:35:48,680
 in opposition to the project. I oppose the zoning change that's being driven by the development

2559
03:35:48,680 --> 03:35:53,440
 of this homeless shelter. I'm told that the plans for the area include opening both an

2560
03:35:53,440 --> 03:35:59,160
 emergency shelter and an enhanced shelter, along with wraparound services needed to assist

2561
03:35:59,160 --> 03:36:04,800
 the homeless and to be provided by the Junction of Denton, a recent merger of Monsignor King

2562
03:36:04,800 --> 03:36:11,040
 Outreach Center and our Daily Bread. The goal is to provide services to 300 people per day.

2563
03:36:11,040 --> 03:36:17,280
 How can the area not be impacted negatively by a sudden influx of those 300 needing help,

2564
03:36:17,280 --> 03:36:21,960
 as well as the workers needed to provide the services? While some of the homeless are those

2565
03:36:21,960 --> 03:36:26,080
 that have had bad breaks and are trying to rebuild their lives, it has to be acknowledged

2566
03:36:26,080 --> 03:36:32,000
 that there are also career homeless who have very little respect for others. It's my belief

2567
03:36:32,000 --> 03:36:36,840
 that we'll see a new set of problems developing in the areas surrounding the shelter, including

2568
03:36:36,840 --> 03:36:42,000
 thefts and destruction of private property. I believe it will pose safety risks to those

2569
03:36:42,000 --> 03:36:46,800
 living nearby, especially the children and the elderly. There are further concerns from

2570
03:36:46,800 --> 03:36:52,140
 activities often observed in the area of shelters with those who use alcohol or drugs. As a

2571
03:36:52,140 --> 03:36:57,000
 holder of undeveloped property in the area, I fear the presence of tents and encampments

2572
03:36:57,000 --> 03:37:02,440
 as well. I'm told there will be a zero tolerance policy for such activities, but how will that

2573
03:37:02,440 --> 03:37:07,320
 be enforced effectively? I'm told that once the report is issued, the property owner will

2574
03:37:07,320 --> 03:37:12,840
 be contacted for permission to enter the property to remove the camper. I've also learned that

2575
03:37:12,840 --> 03:37:16,520
 in the event that damages are done to the property or in the case that it has to be

2576
03:37:16,520 --> 03:37:22,120
 cleaned of litter, trash, feces, or other matter, the property owner would be expected

2577
03:37:22,120 --> 03:37:27,240
 to bear a hundred percent of the cost for that cleanup and restoration of the property.

2578
03:37:27,240 --> 03:37:31,640
 Under other circumstances, I think the intruders would be made to pay for the damages they

2579
03:37:31,640 --> 03:37:36,980
 cause. However, in this situation, since these people are homeless, they have no way to pay

2580
03:37:36,980 --> 03:37:42,280
 for damages. Could there be some type of work order issued by the city to make them spend

2581
03:37:42,280 --> 03:37:48,400
 the hours needed to clean up or fix the damages they cause? It just bothers me that through

2582
03:37:48,400 --> 03:37:53,000
 no fault of their own, a property owner in proximity to the shelter could be left with

2583
03:37:53,000 --> 03:37:58,360
 substantial costs to repair and restore the land after illegal encampments cause damages

2584
03:37:58,360 --> 03:38:03,600
 to it. Is there some way to help pay for the necessary work? Further, I'm aware that the

2585
03:38:03,600 --> 03:38:08,600
 Salvation Army holds 17 acres of land that they're planning to develop as the same type

2586
03:38:08,600 --> 03:38:13,360
 of shelters that are proposed tonight. The land is within a very short distance, approximately

2587
03:38:13,360 --> 03:38:18,760
 half a mile or less from this location. It's to be a full-service location with both emergency

2588
03:38:18,760 --> 03:38:23,800
 and enhanced shelters as well. Why do we need two of these facilities this close to each

2589
03:38:23,800 --> 03:38:28,960
 other? I do understand that the current facility near East McKinney will be shut down when

2590
03:38:28,960 --> 03:38:35,520
 new facilities are open, but why do we need two large shelters in this proximity? I urge

2591
03:38:35,520 --> 03:38:40,400
 the commissioners to at least delay this project while further studies can be done as to the

2592
03:38:40,400 --> 03:38:45,280
 effects on the surrounding neighborhoods and undeveloped properties. Ideally, I would hope

2593
03:38:45,280 --> 03:38:52,100
 to see the zoning maintained as suburban corridor. Thank you for your time and consideration.

2594
03:38:52,100 --> 03:38:57,960
 Thank you very much, Ms. Higgins, for that perspective. I don't see any questions for

2595
03:38:57,960 --> 03:39:00,480
 you. Commissioner Beck.

2596
03:39:00,480 --> 03:39:07,360
 This is related to the caller's comments. Danny, how do we handle, or Ron or whoever

2597
03:39:07,360 --> 03:39:16,880
 is the appropriate person to answer this, how do we handle impacts from individuals

2598
03:39:16,880 --> 03:39:24,800
 who perhaps might be unhomed or homeless anywhere in the city if they are engaged in activities

2599
03:39:24,800 --> 03:39:30,080
 that are untoward? Is there any difference between handling that adjacent shelter versus

2600
03:39:30,080 --> 03:39:38,720
 far away from a shelter? No, the only consideration would be where the activity is happening and

2601
03:39:38,720 --> 03:39:43,840
 if the activity is criminal or behavioral. So if anything that's criminal would be addressed

2602
03:39:43,840 --> 03:39:47,960
 by the police department, immediately anything that is behavioral would be addressed depending

2603
03:39:47,960 --> 03:39:54,280
 on where it's located. But we would handle that the same regardless of where the activity

2604
03:39:54,280 --> 03:40:00,680
 took place. Is that correct? That's correct. But for example, there may be rules for the

2605
03:40:00,680 --> 03:40:06,200
 use of the library or rules for the use of a park facility that may be different than

2606
03:40:06,200 --> 03:40:15,280
 would be in a public space that's open. That makes sense. Thank you, Danny.

2607
03:40:15,280 --> 03:40:22,680
 Is there any questions for Ms. Higgins? Okay, Ms. Higgins, thank you so much for waiting

2608
03:40:22,680 --> 03:40:28,680
 patiently for us and taking the time to call in. At this time, I'll ask staff to patch

2609
03:40:28,680 --> 03:40:52,120
 in the next caller. Good evening, you're with the Planning and Zoning Commission. If you

2610
03:40:52,120 --> 03:40:56,320
 could just state your name and your address, you'll have three minutes to speak.

2611
03:40:56,320 --> 03:41:07,600
 Yes, this is Arlene Gibson and I reside at 1012 Bayfield Drive, Denton, Texas, 76209.

2612
03:41:07,600 --> 03:41:19,240
 My property backs up to the loop 288 and I'd like to just state my opposition to having

2613
03:41:19,240 --> 03:41:29,240
 that the property turned into a nursing home. And the reasons that I would like for it not

2614
03:41:29,240 --> 03:41:34,280
 to be turned into a nursing home is that it would increase the traffic, the foot traffic

2615
03:41:34,280 --> 03:41:44,600
 as well as the automobile traffic in this area. And we have elderly as well as children

2616
03:41:44,600 --> 03:41:51,000
 that walk this neighborhood and I believe that it will be a safety concern for them.

2617
03:41:51,000 --> 03:41:58,440
 I also am concerned about the encampments that if the homeless were to begin to encamp

2618
03:41:58,440 --> 03:42:06,480
 around the woods that's surrounding the building, including the back of my property, that that

2619
03:42:06,480 --> 03:42:24,280
 would be a safety concern as well as problems with trash. I also oppose it because of the

2620
03:42:24,280 --> 03:42:37,640
 Salvation Army's intent on building a large homeless shelter structure within three miles

2621
03:42:37,640 --> 03:42:47,360
 of this shelter. And I'm concerned as to why they would build two shelters within three

2622
03:42:47,360 --> 03:42:57,480
 miles of each other. And that would place us directly in the middle of both shelters.

2623
03:42:57,480 --> 03:43:06,360
 And I think that that would affect our property values. So I oppose it for those reasons.

2624
03:43:06,360 --> 03:43:19,160
 And I hope that, you know, should this go through, that if it goes through, I hope that

2625
03:43:19,160 --> 03:43:26,000
 you would provide some safety for us in the neighborhood by putting up barriers so that

2626
03:43:26,000 --> 03:43:34,120
 at least we can feel safe within our neighborhood for some sort of safety. But my greatest thought

2627
03:43:34,120 --> 03:43:43,360
 would be that it wouldn't be, that it would not go through. And I think that's all I have

2628
03:43:43,360 --> 03:43:44,360
 to say.

2629
03:43:44,360 --> 03:43:49,320
 Okay. Well, Ms. Gibson, I certainly appreciate you staying on hold for so long and waiting

2630
03:43:49,320 --> 03:43:55,640
 for us. Does any commissioners have any questions for the caller? I don't see any, Ms. Gibson.

2631
03:43:55,640 --> 03:44:01,680
 So again, I appreciate you calling and providing your perspective. Your thoughts have been

2632
03:44:01,680 --> 03:44:11,320
 noted. All righty. Well, thanks for your time. I'm sorry. Yeah, Mike, I have a question for

2633
03:44:11,320 --> 03:44:20,800
 Danny. Okay. Danny, a couple of callers had mentioned now the future site of Salvation

2634
03:44:20,800 --> 03:44:26,640
 Army. Do you have any knowledge of that? Can you enlighten us on that at all?

2635
03:44:26,640 --> 03:44:31,800
 Not only that they have access to a property that is currently where Shiloh Gardens is,

2636
03:44:31,800 --> 03:44:37,160
 but it's in the concept stage at this point. So I'm not aware of where they are in the

2637
03:44:37,160 --> 03:44:40,200
 progress of considering that property for development.

2638
03:44:40,200 --> 03:44:41,840
 All right. Thanks.

2639
03:44:41,840 --> 03:44:51,360
 Well, as far as that property is concerned, this property has been donated by the church.

2640
03:44:51,360 --> 03:45:03,080
 I just lost my train of thought, but the church that's right there off of university, I can't

2641
03:45:03,080 --> 03:45:09,000
 think of the name of it, but that property has been given, donated to Salvation Army.

2642
03:45:09,000 --> 03:45:20,800
 And they do have plans on making a mega, some type of institutions for the homeless as well.

2643
03:45:20,800 --> 03:45:32,040
 And that is a concern. So if anybody, I think that's worth investigating to find out, you

2644
03:45:32,040 --> 03:45:37,280
 know, what their intentions are, because from my understanding, actually, I got that information

2645
03:45:37,280 --> 03:45:46,760
 from Kaylee Briggs, who also sat on the, who brings to mind a concern for me, and that

2646
03:45:46,760 --> 03:45:55,080
 Kaylee told me that she is, she sat on the board for the homeless shelter for one of

2647
03:45:55,080 --> 03:46:00,580
 the programs where the homeless shelter and that she was, she's supposed to be representing

2648
03:46:00,580 --> 03:46:08,200
 district two, but I think that's kind of a conflict of interest because she, she in representing

2649
03:46:08,200 --> 03:46:17,040
 us for her to be on the, on a board to push this through, I don't think that our needs

2650
03:46:17,040 --> 03:46:24,760
 were or our, our needs or wants were put, were considered. I think that that, that was

2651
03:46:24,760 --> 03:46:26,080
 a conflict of interest.

2652
03:46:26,080 --> 03:46:33,360
 Well, Ms. Gibson, again, I appreciate you calling in and staying in line for that discussion

2653
03:46:33,360 --> 03:46:36,000
 and we'll certainly take any consideration.

2654
03:46:36,000 --> 03:46:39,360
 All right. Well, thank you for your time.

2655
03:46:39,360 --> 03:46:44,920
 Thank you. If I could ask staff to patch in the next caller. I think we have at least

2656
03:46:44,920 --> 03:46:59,360
 three left, I think.

2657
03:46:59,360 --> 03:47:02,400
 Good evening. You're on with the planning and zoning commission. If you could please

2658
03:47:02,400 --> 03:47:06,880
 state your name and address. You'll have three minutes to speak.

2659
03:47:06,880 --> 03:47:15,680
 Yes. This is Eric Pangburn with Audra Meadows neighborhood. Am I on now?

2660
03:47:15,680 --> 03:47:17,680
 You are. Yes, sir.

2661
03:47:17,680 --> 03:47:25,240
 Okay. Thank you. We would have commented sooner, but we didn't get any notice, unfortunately,

2662
03:47:25,240 --> 03:47:32,240
 and I learned about this from a neighbor about three weeks ago. My wife and I live here in

2663
03:47:32,240 --> 03:47:38,040
 Audra Meadows neighborhood within a thousand feet of the proposed shelter for our homeless.

2664
03:47:38,040 --> 03:47:43,680
 And we bought a home in this neighborhood 17 years ago with the intent after a civil

2665
03:47:43,680 --> 03:47:48,720
 career and 28 years of military service to kind of make it our retirement location is

2666
03:47:48,720 --> 03:47:55,880
 what we intended. This goes through, we, we, we may seriously reconsider that, but anyway,

2667
03:47:55,880 --> 03:48:01,480
 we anticipated that loop 288 due to its suburban corridor zoning would develop as I believe

2668
03:48:01,480 --> 03:48:08,040
 the city intended with commercial businesses all along that corridor on this side of town.

2669
03:48:08,040 --> 03:48:14,200
 And this typically causes home values to increase. I served in another city as the chairman of

2670
03:48:14,200 --> 03:48:19,640
 a historic district commission with 2200 historic structures. So I'm, I'm a little bit familiar

2671
03:48:19,640 --> 03:48:26,240
 with zoning issues and how cities work, but as, as just what I gleaned from looking at

2672
03:48:26,240 --> 03:48:34,120
 our zoning guidance and the Denton 2030 plan, it seems that zoning changes should definitely

2673
03:48:34,120 --> 03:48:38,240
 be very carefully evaluated. And it should be the burden of the city to prove that the

2674
03:48:38,240 --> 03:48:44,400
 change would not adversely affect the citizens within the proximity of that change. And I

2675
03:48:44,400 --> 03:48:50,880
 read the staff analysis and the guidance statement reads that the intensity of development in

2676
03:48:50,880 --> 03:48:55,760
 the new zoning district is not expected to create significantly adverse impacts to surrounding

2677
03:48:55,760 --> 03:49:03,160
 properties or the neighborhood. And the staff answer was that it won't. Um, and that's not

2678
03:49:03,160 --> 03:49:07,360
 the opinion of a real estate professional that I did speak with who is familiar with

2679
03:49:07,360 --> 03:49:14,520
 this area. Um, to my way of thinking, it should be a win-win result and not a win-lose result.

2680
03:49:14,520 --> 03:49:20,520
 Local residents, homeowners, and local businesses, in my opinion, will not win. In fact, I believe

2681
03:49:20,520 --> 03:49:25,240
 it'll further impede future business growth along this corridor. Um, I think we need a

2682
03:49:25,240 --> 03:49:32,320
 win for our homeless and that win is not placing this facility in a family neighborhood. Um,

2683
03:49:32,320 --> 03:49:36,800
 some say that the homeless either sleep in the street or they go to this location in

2684
03:49:36,800 --> 03:49:42,600
 our neighborhood. In other words, nobody can find any other location where this can work

2685
03:49:42,600 --> 03:49:48,360
 for everyone, I guess. But one evening, a guy was sitting down at the 7-Eleven just

2686
03:49:48,360 --> 03:49:54,160
 up the street from this location at McKinney and Luke 288. And I bought him some chicken

2687
03:49:54,160 --> 03:50:00,440
 for dinner from the store. A few weeks later, that same guy is on the sidewalk at the El

2688
03:50:00,440 --> 03:50:04,920
 Mat door restaurant right at the front doors at dinner time. I were urinating on the sidewalk

2689
03:50:04,920 --> 03:50:11,480
 in front of everyone. Um, and so if I'm asked, do I want this in my neighborhood? No, of

2690
03:50:11,480 --> 03:50:17,560
 course I don't. The mitigations I've read about, uh, I think it was, uh, Danny Shaw's

2691
03:50:17,560 --> 03:50:25,840
 letter and some that we've seen tonight, um, certainly, uh, sound good, but the transiting

2692
03:50:25,840 --> 03:50:30,600
 traffic in my opinion will not be prevented. And if you ask me if I care about these folks,

2693
03:50:30,600 --> 03:50:36,840
 of course I do. On the civil side, I spent 18 years as an air ambulance pilot care, caring

2694
03:50:36,840 --> 03:50:43,240
 about, um, and, and helping people that are in helpless conditions. I understand that.

2695
03:50:43,240 --> 03:50:49,320
 And some of our homeless, our fellow veterans, um, this isn't, in my opinion, it's an okay

2696
03:50:49,320 --> 03:50:55,180
 for your neighborhood, but not mine issue. Uh, in my opinion, no city project should

2697
03:50:55,180 --> 03:50:59,760
 ever go where we all know there will be a negative effect on our residents. It's been

2698
03:50:59,760 --> 03:51:06,920
 shown over and over again. Uh, and I feel that to purposefully change the zone to make

2699
03:51:06,920 --> 03:51:13,180
 it fit here, isn't the right solution. The solution is to put it where, where we intended

2700
03:51:13,180 --> 03:51:19,680
 it to be in public zoning. The solution on the face of it looks like an ideal opportunity,

2701
03:51:19,680 --> 03:51:25,640
 but I think it's wrong. I think we definitely need a solution and as soon as possible, but

2702
03:51:25,640 --> 03:51:32,200
 one that serves everybody's best interest. Uh, thanks a lot for your time this evening.

2703
03:51:32,200 --> 03:51:37,940
 Well, I appreciate you holding for so long and articulating those thoughts. I don't see

2704
03:51:37,940 --> 03:51:43,040
 any questions from the commissioners for you. Um, and so again, I appreciate your thoughts

2705
03:51:43,040 --> 03:51:52,720
 and, and, um, we'll take it into consideration. Thank you. If staff could patch in the next

2706
03:51:52,720 --> 03:52:10,720
 caller, that'd be great. Uh, yes, you are online with the planet zoning commission.

2707
03:52:10,720 --> 03:52:15,480
 You can state your name and address and maybe turn down the TV. You'll have three minutes

2708
03:52:15,480 --> 03:52:27,040
 to speak. Okay. Yes. Uh, my name is Kenneth. Can you please turn on your TV? Yeah, I'm

2709
03:52:27,040 --> 03:52:36,040
 trying to do it right now. Unfortunately, it's my one second here. So again, I appreciate

2710
03:52:36,040 --> 03:52:44,120
 your, is that a little bit better now? It sure is. If you just state your address, you'll

2711
03:52:44,120 --> 03:52:50,840
 have three minutes. Yes. My name is Kenneth Coleman. Uh, I'm a minister. I live at that

2712
03:52:50,840 --> 03:53:00,360
 3901 Trenton place, uh, in Denton, Texas. Okay. And you have three minutes to tell us

2713
03:53:00,360 --> 03:53:12,040
 your perspective. Okay. Um, I'm, uh, I'm really disappointed that a lot of people would consider

2714
03:53:12,040 --> 03:53:19,640
 being that I've worked with the homeless since 2005. And I think that the greatest, um, um,

2715
03:53:19,640 --> 03:53:27,400
 offense is that they've been misunderstood. Uh, the people are being called, uh, drug addicts

2716
03:53:27,400 --> 03:53:33,720
 and they're being called thieves. They're being called child molesters. And, uh, and

2717
03:53:33,720 --> 03:53:37,440
 that is, that is not true. If you want an absolute truth, I worked in the fourth work

2718
03:53:37,440 --> 03:53:43,000
 shelter, Presbyterian night shelter, Salvation Army, Union gospel. So I have a lot of experience

2719
03:53:43,000 --> 03:53:47,200
 with the homeless and you'd be surprised there. Uh, they're a business, they were business

2720
03:53:47,200 --> 03:53:52,360
 owners. They were in the shelter. They were military. They were in the shelter. There

2721
03:53:52,360 --> 03:53:58,840
 were, uh, uh, uh, people, aircraft mechanics in the shelter, people who worked for pharmacists

2722
03:53:58,840 --> 03:54:07,280
 in the shelter. So homelessness, uh, doesn't have anything to do, uh, in regard to crime.

2723
03:54:07,280 --> 03:54:14,680
 It has everything to do with, uh, with them being in a situation, a hard place. And, and,

2724
03:54:14,680 --> 03:54:21,520
 and because they're homeless, it does not make them hopeless. And for, for Denton to

2725
03:54:21,520 --> 03:54:29,400
 consider, uh, having a place where they can go, uh, where they don't have to, uh, urinate

2726
03:54:29,400 --> 03:54:35,400
 on the park, uh, on the, uh, sidewalk and they don't have to beg and wait for a meal

2727
03:54:35,400 --> 03:54:40,880
 and they don't have to hang out at Walmart and Target and all these other places that

2728
03:54:40,880 --> 03:54:47,280
 people seem to have a problem with. Uh, if there was a place that is proposed, they'll

2729
03:54:47,280 --> 03:54:52,720
 have a central location where they can get food. Uh, they have a place to shower. Uh,

2730
03:54:52,720 --> 03:54:58,640
 this, this is, this is actually a blessing to this community. I moved here only a few

2731
03:54:58,640 --> 03:55:04,440
 months ago and, and, and my prayer was before I moved here that Lord, that I would be planted

2732
03:55:04,440 --> 03:55:09,640
 in a place that I'm needed. So all of this makes sense to me. And for those who don't

2733
03:55:09,640 --> 03:55:16,600
 understand homelessness, it's because you've never experienced homelessness. Uh, um, and

2734
03:55:16,600 --> 03:55:22,680
 we call them homeless based on their possession. Uh, they don't have a home to become homeless,

2735
03:55:22,680 --> 03:55:27,240
 but they're still people. And we have to take into consideration that these people need

2736
03:55:27,240 --> 03:55:33,760
 help. And here's an opportunity for Denton to show their compassion, uh, toward the homeless

2737
03:55:33,760 --> 03:55:39,360
 and give them a central location and give them a place, uh, where they can be considered

2738
03:55:39,360 --> 03:55:45,880
 and, and, and taking care of. I understand the residents. I'm a homeowner as well, but

2739
03:55:45,880 --> 03:55:50,560
 I am not affected by the fact that they want to do someone that who's, who's less fortunate

2740
03:55:50,560 --> 03:55:59,360
 than I am. I say spin up an SOS. That means scoot over some scoot over and make room for

2741
03:55:59,360 --> 03:56:03,760
 people that are less fortunate. We are, I would think with all that has taken place

2742
03:56:03,760 --> 03:56:07,840
 in the world and everything is wrong, that it may have changed or picked the hardest.

2743
03:56:07,840 --> 03:56:13,260
 Um, that they would have a little more compassion, but unfortunately that's that for some, that's

2744
03:56:13,260 --> 03:56:17,440
 not true. It's that I don't want it in my neighborhood. I don't want it in my community.

2745
03:56:17,440 --> 03:56:24,200
 Then it's not here where, so I applaud those who are standing and taking a stand for those

2746
03:56:24,200 --> 03:56:28,720
 that are less fortunate. I mean, I have a controlled climate. I walk into my house,

2747
03:56:28,720 --> 03:56:33,540
 I can control the temperature. I turn my water on, I can control the water and there's food

2748
03:56:33,540 --> 03:56:37,640
 in my refrigerator, but yet still there's room in my heart to consider that there's

2749
03:56:37,640 --> 03:56:43,400
 someone out there right now that don't have that. So what the people who say that they're

2750
03:56:43,400 --> 03:56:49,720
 a problem, it's, it's, it's really not true. The problem is an issue of the heart and I,

2751
03:56:49,720 --> 03:56:56,080
 and I'm not going to preach, I'll be done in a minute, but some, some 41, just one verse

2752
03:56:56,080 --> 03:57:03,480
 says, blessed he who considers the poor, the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.

2753
03:57:03,480 --> 03:57:11,320
 If there's anything inside of your heart that can SOS, scoot over some and make room and

2754
03:57:11,320 --> 03:57:16,400
 consolation and I applaud the gentleman who, who served in the military, you all help out,

2755
03:57:16,400 --> 03:57:22,360
 but you don't understand. There's also a battlefield and then that we need to conquer. Mr. Coleman.

2756
03:57:22,360 --> 03:57:27,360
 Yes. Yes. I'm sorry. Certainly part of the interruption. I want to be responsible and

2757
03:57:27,360 --> 03:57:34,480
 respectful of other people waiting on hold and I appreciate calling in. I just, I hate

2758
03:57:34,480 --> 03:57:40,100
 to catch you off, but I want to be respectful to those on hold as well. Okay. Thank you.

2759
03:57:40,100 --> 03:57:46,200
 Is there any questions for Mr. Coleman? Mr. Coleman, I appreciate again, you, you hold

2760
03:57:46,200 --> 03:57:53,360
 him and waiting so long to talk to us and we'll consider your thoughts this evening.

2761
03:57:53,360 --> 03:58:15,440
 Maybe you've already lost them. Staff. Can you patch through the next caller? Good evening.

2762
03:58:15,440 --> 03:58:19,400
 We're on with the planning and zoning commission. If you could state your name and address,

2763
03:58:19,400 --> 03:58:24,880
 you'll be provided three minutes to speak. So my name is Colter Souser. I live at nine

2764
03:58:24,880 --> 03:58:30,400
 and 10 Bayfield. I would like to, I guess, state my opposition for this. I believe Eric

2765
03:58:30,400 --> 03:58:35,720
 has the, the opinion that Eric stated earlier was perfectly stated and I really couldn't

2766
03:58:35,720 --> 03:58:41,600
 agree more. So my property backs up directly to the substation behind the property. And

2767
03:58:41,600 --> 03:58:46,620
 I believe Ron's pictures, if anything, they've conveyed perfectly that there'd be no better

2768
03:58:46,620 --> 03:58:51,440
 place for people to hide out during the day in camp. Then between that, in that a hundred

2769
03:58:51,440 --> 03:58:57,400
 foot easement between the substation and my back fence. I mean, the previous comment about

2770
03:58:57,400 --> 03:59:02,240
 there being no easy access from the person who lives on Bayfield, I think holds no merits

2771
03:59:02,240 --> 03:59:07,540
 in this situation. It would be a very easy walk right down the street, right up Audra.

2772
03:59:07,540 --> 03:59:14,280
 And then you're in our neighborhood. I would like to know what the plan is to, I know they

2773
03:59:14,280 --> 03:59:19,120
 said there's some mitigation being talked about, but I would like to know a solid plan

2774
03:59:19,120 --> 03:59:25,880
 for how we would, I guess, prevent encampments and stuff like that. The current homeless

2775
03:59:25,880 --> 03:59:31,920
 shelter is right is next door neighbors with a, with a, with the jail. There's more cops

2776
03:59:31,920 --> 03:59:36,700
 in that position than just about anywhere I've seen in the city. And we still haven't

2777
03:59:36,700 --> 03:59:41,120
 done anything about the trees between the current shelter and the river right there

2778
03:59:41,120 --> 03:59:45,800
 by the bridge. So maybe somebody can try and explain to me, or I guess enlighten me on

2779
03:59:45,800 --> 03:59:50,280
 what these mitigations are that are being taken.

2780
03:59:50,280 --> 03:59:59,040
 Yeah. Mr. Salazar, you're, you're talking to mitigation specifically regarding the easement

2781
03:59:59,040 --> 04:00:01,840
 between the substation and your property boundary.

2782
04:00:01,840 --> 04:00:06,880
 No, just the whole, the whole surrounding area. I mean, like, like, like the picture

2783
04:00:06,880 --> 04:00:12,520
 showed, there's lots of empty area. There's lots of trees. I know I drive by the current

2784
04:00:12,520 --> 04:00:17,360
 station or the current shelter right there by the jail every day on the way to work.

2785
04:00:17,360 --> 04:00:22,120
 And it's just tent after tent after tent and garbage. And I'm just curious what's being

2786
04:00:22,120 --> 04:00:28,240
 done or what, what, what the plan is to prevent that. It was stated there was mitigation in

2787
04:00:28,240 --> 04:00:33,760
 place, but I'm curious what that is going to be if we haven't, if no solution has been

2788
04:00:33,760 --> 04:00:35,600
 made up to this point.

2789
04:00:35,600 --> 04:00:41,960
 Yeah, I can act, I can see if Danny can speak into that. But I have a question out of curiosity

2790
04:00:41,960 --> 04:00:46,440
 perhaps for you, as I think through this, a lot of individuals, including yourself have

2791
04:00:46,440 --> 04:00:51,240
 talked about encampment and camping and different places around the city in which we've seen

2792
04:00:51,240 --> 04:00:56,520
 those experienced homelessness gather. It seems to me and held me where my logic's wrong

2793
04:00:56,520 --> 04:01:03,640
 here. If we had a 25,000 square foot facility that would feed them and house them, what

2794
04:01:03,640 --> 04:01:10,480
 would, why would they go camp in and the lawn behind there if there's shelter and a bed

2795
04:01:10,480 --> 04:01:13,760
 inside and I maybe I'm missing something.

2796
04:01:13,760 --> 04:01:17,800
 No, I agree with that position, but I can't tell you because, because I mean, it happens

2797
04:01:17,800 --> 04:01:24,920
 currently, right? Like it happens every day around current shelters, whether it just be

2798
04:01:24,920 --> 04:01:29,760
 throughout the day until, until they're able to go somewhere that evening or, or whenever

2799
04:01:29,760 --> 04:01:36,440
 else it's going to be, it'll take place. But I'm just, I'm just curious how, like what

2800
04:01:36,440 --> 04:01:41,400
 are the preventative measures that are going to be taken? So my backyard isn't treated

2801
04:01:41,400 --> 04:01:45,400
 the same way that the trees are next to the current shelter. You know what I mean?

2802
04:01:45,400 --> 04:01:48,400
 Yeah, I totally understand it. I'm going to pass it to Christian Prenutter who's, who's

2803
04:01:48,400 --> 04:01:51,880
 holding his hand up. And I think one thing to note that I can note is that the city is

2804
04:01:51,880 --> 04:01:58,000
 going to enter into a good neighbor agreement that will outline the strategies involved

2805
04:01:58,000 --> 04:02:02,940
 around what I believe you're speaking to. It sounds like they're trying to codify that

2806
04:02:02,940 --> 04:02:10,680
 agreement to ensure security and no camps and, and those things to, to hopefully keep

2807
04:02:10,680 --> 04:02:17,200
 a kind of a either literal or, or, or a metaphorical fence around the property. So there is that

2808
04:02:17,200 --> 04:02:23,640
 in place for an agreement to be attached with the city. But Christian Prenutter had his,

2809
04:02:23,640 --> 04:02:26,960
 his hand up when he recognized him.

2810
04:02:26,960 --> 04:02:32,800
 And this one, my question would go to Danny. I kind of clarify what we've heard from a

2811
04:02:32,800 --> 04:02:37,080
 couple of callers. Now, my understanding was that a lot of the camping that we had outside

2812
04:02:37,080 --> 04:02:42,480
 of Monsignor King was precipitated by the fact that Monsignor King had limited hours

2813
04:02:42,480 --> 04:02:47,740
 and did not, you know, have overnight here seven days a week, only a couple of days a

2814
04:02:47,740 --> 04:02:53,560
 week. The facility that we're looking at right now, my understanding is seven days a week.

2815
04:02:53,560 --> 04:02:54,560
 Is that correct?

2816
04:02:54,560 --> 04:03:01,520
 Right. So a couple of things to address that specific question first. This facility will

2817
04:03:01,520 --> 04:03:09,520
 be 24/7. So the people have access for 24 hours a day, where our current facility. Can

2818
04:03:09,520 --> 04:03:16,760
 you hear me? Sorry. Okay. Thank you. So to make sure I remember done you, um, where Monsignor

2819
04:03:16,760 --> 04:03:21,360
 King was an inclement weather shelter only open certain days of the week, Monday, Tuesday,

2820
04:03:21,360 --> 04:03:26,080
 Wednesday, and an inclement weather that prevented people from having access to your shelter

2821
04:03:26,080 --> 04:03:31,200
 every day of the week. And there is no shelter or space currently where people can go and

2822
04:03:31,200 --> 04:03:38,080
 be 24 hours a day where this will solve that issue for us as well. Um, and then just a

2823
04:03:38,080 --> 04:03:42,880
 couple of questions on the encampments. One of the complexities around the Monsignor King

2824
04:03:42,880 --> 04:03:47,520
 facility is, is that some of the property isn't owned by the city. And so we are not

2825
04:03:47,520 --> 04:03:51,440
 allowed to access private property or property that is not owned by us to do any kind of

2826
04:03:51,440 --> 04:03:56,760
 abatement without permission from that owner, which we generally take steps to work on that

2827
04:03:56,760 --> 04:04:02,920
 immediately to address any encampments that do exist. And then with areas that are undeveloped

2828
04:04:02,920 --> 04:04:08,440
 that are city property, we take a compassionate management process where we work with the

2829
04:04:08,440 --> 04:04:11,640
 people there. We send our home with outreach team out to build relationships with those

2830
04:04:11,640 --> 04:04:15,480
 folks to connect them to services. And we worked in for as long as possible until it

2831
04:04:15,480 --> 04:04:22,480
 becomes a safety issue. And then any encampment that is located near a private property, we

2832
04:04:22,480 --> 04:04:27,400
 currently address immediately or where there are active use areas of public property. So

2833
04:04:27,400 --> 04:04:32,360
 hopefully that helps. But if you have other questions, let me know. No, I guess my only

2834
04:04:32,360 --> 04:04:37,440
 other question is, I know you said there's 24 hours a day services, but I mean, are people

2835
04:04:37,440 --> 04:04:42,400
 expected to go in the building and never leave? You know, that's, that's the, I guess the

2836
04:04:42,400 --> 04:04:47,920
 argument of, of the whole thing is whenever we start talking about migration through the

2837
04:04:47,920 --> 04:04:52,160
 neighborhood or access through the neighborhood, we can talk about sidewalks in front of there

2838
04:04:52,160 --> 04:04:56,040
 in the new zoning, but then there's still no sidewalks all the way down there to, I

2839
04:04:56,040 --> 04:05:04,800
 guess, around Dairy Queen or up to a university. And it's where there's going to be a lot of,

2840
04:05:04,800 --> 04:05:08,880
 I guess, movement through the neighborhood that that haven't typically had it. You know,

2841
04:05:08,880 --> 04:05:13,760
 I bought this house, I bought my, I bought my property eight years ago now. And then

2842
04:05:13,760 --> 04:05:17,800
 and wherever I bought it, there was an open field there. There's since been a substation

2843
04:05:17,800 --> 04:05:21,720
 put up. It used to be a daycare behind there. This, this good current property we're talking

2844
04:05:21,720 --> 04:05:26,560
 about is a daycare. A homeless shelter is a, is a, is a very far stretch from what it

2845
04:05:26,560 --> 04:05:33,200
 was whenever we got it. So I, I appreciate, I appreciate their perspective. Mr. Salazar,

2846
04:05:33,200 --> 04:05:38,040
 Christopher, you saw the floor. Yeah, no, I just wanted to, you know, thank Danny for

2847
04:05:38,040 --> 04:05:42,960
 clearing up those questions because they were, they were concerns and it sounds like the

2848
04:05:42,960 --> 04:05:47,840
 situation is completely separate in terms of the ownership of the surrounding lands

2849
04:05:47,840 --> 04:05:53,320
 that would allow mitigation. You know, to the caller's concern, we're certainly not,

2850
04:05:53,320 --> 04:05:57,800
 you know, understanding that this place is going to be the Hotel California. They can

2851
04:05:57,800 --> 04:06:03,200
 never leave. They will, you know, but you know, basically we are going to be providing

2852
04:06:03,200 --> 04:06:10,200
 people with someplace to be 24 hours a day, which provides less incentive for people to

2853
04:06:10,200 --> 04:06:18,920
 go hiding in the cold dirty woods. And I think it provides, but we're what I'm hearing addresses

2854
04:06:18,920 --> 04:06:24,040
 a lot of the concerns. And I'm done with that. I'm done with this. Thank you Mr. Perneta.

2855
04:06:24,040 --> 04:06:27,960
 Commissioner Beck. Yeah, I have a, thank you chair. I have a real quick follow on for,

2856
04:06:27,960 --> 04:06:34,400
 for Danny related to the caller's comment. Who, who owns the adjacent public facility

2857
04:06:34,400 --> 04:06:39,920
 property with the substation? We own that as part of DME, correct?

2858
04:06:39,920 --> 04:06:45,600
 We own the, the, to the West and to the North, uh, there's the only private property is to

2859
04:06:45,600 --> 04:06:50,400
 the South. And just as an example, when we are working with private property, we also

2860
04:06:50,400 --> 04:06:54,280
 are able to get enforcement authorizations that allow us to enter private property to,

2861
04:06:54,280 --> 04:06:58,720
 to address any issues or abate any issues that may occur as quickly.

2862
04:06:58,720 --> 04:07:05,480
 So there would be no distinction from our perspective or from a police enforcement perspective

2863
04:07:05,480 --> 04:07:11,560
 or mental health enforcement perspective, whether the, someone who is, um, illegally

2864
04:07:11,560 --> 04:07:17,600
 camping was on the shelter's property or, or DME property, that's all just city property

2865
04:07:17,600 --> 04:07:22,840
 and the same response could be had. That's correct. We would address that immediately

2866
04:07:22,840 --> 04:07:28,320
 and not allow for it. Thank you. Okay. So it's, pardon me for the interruption, but

2867
04:07:28,320 --> 04:07:34,600
 can I make one comment based on the, on, on that statement there? You sure can. So, uh,

2868
04:07:34,600 --> 04:07:39,200
 I guess it was last winter, the sprinkler system between my house and the substation

2869
04:07:39,200 --> 04:07:42,900
 was, was on, and there must've been something, something faulty with it because I noticed

2870
04:07:42,900 --> 04:07:49,840
 it was on for 12 straight hours. I probably made at least a dozen, maybe 15 calls to the

2871
04:07:49,840 --> 04:07:55,560
 city trying to get somebody to turn the sprinkler system off. It took six days to turn a sprinkler

2872
04:07:55,560 --> 04:08:04,920
 system off on, on DME's current property. So I just, I would like to be assured that

2873
04:08:04,920 --> 04:08:10,480
 some of these things would be handled in a more timely manner. Yeah. Mr. Sousa, I certainly

2874
04:08:10,480 --> 04:08:17,140
 the points made, uh, with, with that, um, I will say that as, as far as the city can

2875
04:08:17,140 --> 04:08:25,540
 provide the appropriate barriers to prevent and to mitigate for the sprawl of those experiencing

2876
04:08:25,540 --> 04:08:29,880
 homelessness near your area, I believe is being made. I don't think any assurances or

2877
04:08:29,880 --> 04:08:35,440
 guarantees could be made at this time, but I assure you, it sounds like they are well

2878
04:08:35,440 --> 04:08:41,520
 ahead of preventing and gaining the authorization to remove, uh, individuals who are on property

2879
04:08:41,520 --> 04:08:47,160
 where in which they shouldn't be. Yeah. Okay. Well, I appreciate you guys letting me take

2880
04:08:47,160 --> 04:08:50,760
 the time. Sorry. I know I ate up more than a three minutes. Not at all. I appreciate

2881
04:08:50,760 --> 04:08:56,260
 you being on hold, uh, and engaging with us. You have a good night. You have a good evening.

2882
04:08:56,260 --> 04:09:00,440
 So that concludes, um, the individuals who have been waiting on hold to speak with us.

2883
04:09:00,440 --> 04:09:06,000
 In addition to those who called in, we did have 49 people make comments using our online

2884
04:09:06,000 --> 04:09:11,700
 form. There were 34 in support of this item and 15 were against all the comment forms

2885
04:09:11,700 --> 04:09:15,860
 were emailed to all the commissioners and our city secretary to be recorded. Uh, no

2886
04:09:15,860 --> 04:09:21,840
 one called a line in on our line to, uh, leave their position. With that, I will close the

2887
04:09:21,840 --> 04:09:27,800
 public hearing and turn to, uh, the zoom dais for a discussion or emotion. Commissioner

2888
04:09:27,800 --> 04:09:33,200
 Smith. I'd like to make a motion for approval of staff recommendations. Uh, and with doing

2889
04:09:33,200 --> 04:09:37,560
 that, I think, um, Mr Coleman, one of the, uh, one of the speakers who spoke earlier

2890
04:09:37,560 --> 04:09:44,360
 today, I think that, uh, his position, his beliefs, his viewpoints should be heard and

2891
04:09:44,360 --> 04:09:50,200
 heated a little bit more. Um, and, uh, in our community, I totally understand from the

2892
04:09:50,200 --> 04:09:57,120
 property owners who are behind the property itself, that, um, the, uh, the fear of, uh,

2893
04:09:57,120 --> 04:10:00,800
 the detriment that might bring you in your neighborhood that you might bring you in the

2894
04:10:00,800 --> 04:10:04,960
 value of your property. And we will do our best from this commission and encouraging

2895
04:10:04,960 --> 04:10:09,920
 city staff to, uh, to have that good neighbor agreement and to be able to codify those rules

2896
04:10:09,920 --> 04:10:16,000
 to protect you guys, uh, both financially as well as physically. Uh, but with, uh, that

2897
04:10:16,000 --> 04:10:22,240
 entire area of those don't know that the 2017 tax cuts and jobs act, uh, the, the, the tax

2898
04:10:22,240 --> 04:10:27,640
 bill that was passed by the Trump administration created opportunity zones. And the only opportunity

2899
04:10:27,640 --> 04:10:33,080
 zone in all of the, all of the North Texas area is actually in that neighborhood, right?

2900
04:10:33,080 --> 04:10:38,480
 Where we are placing the shelter right there along 288 all the way over to the mingo road

2901
04:10:38,480 --> 04:10:42,640
 all through that neighborhood, that area, and that is designated as a, as an economically

2902
04:10:42,640 --> 04:10:48,240
 distressed area, an area where services like this services, like serve Denton, uh, that's

2903
04:10:48,240 --> 04:10:53,440
 about a half mile south of this homeless shelter, where this is owning this proposed zoning

2904
04:10:53,440 --> 04:10:58,480
 is right now, um, services that are needed for the people who live in that area and people

2905
04:10:58,480 --> 04:11:03,240
 who congregate in that area. So, um, I can't think of too much of a better place to put

2906
04:11:03,240 --> 04:11:09,160
 it. So, uh, my, uh, I wholeheartedly support and, uh, would like to see this zoning change

2907
04:11:09,160 --> 04:11:16,200
 occur so they can see this project move forward. Thank you. Commissioner Smith. Uh, Christian

2908
04:11:16,200 --> 04:11:21,680
 Pernetta. Um, I'll second that and, uh, you know, my thoughts on this good and get my

2909
04:11:21,680 --> 04:11:26,680
 thoughts on it right now. Uh, you know, I live near North lakes. Um, so over the last

2910
04:11:26,680 --> 04:11:31,480
 few years, I've gotten to see firsthand a lot of the influx of the homeless that have

2911
04:11:31,480 --> 04:11:37,200
 moved in, you know, people experiencing homelessness that have moved into debt. And, um, you know,

2912
04:11:37,200 --> 04:11:41,760
 my neighborhood doesn't experience significantly higher rate of crime than any others. What

2913
04:11:41,760 --> 04:11:47,600
 we're having to deal with are people who are suffering right now. And, uh, right now, you

2914
04:11:47,600 --> 04:11:52,640
 know, Denton is an appealing place for people to be because, um, it's not a violent place.

2915
04:11:52,640 --> 04:11:58,320
 Um, it's, uh, you know, there's a lot of open area. Um, I think a lot of people around town

2916
04:11:58,320 --> 04:12:02,720
 kind of experience, uh, experience, you know, um, our homeless population moving through

2917
04:12:02,720 --> 04:12:07,960
 their neighborhoods. And a lot of that has to do with the fact that we don't have a facility

2918
04:12:07,960 --> 04:12:14,800
 right now that provides 24 hour service and bed seven days a week. Um, this zoning, just

2919
04:12:14,800 --> 04:12:19,840
 dropping back to the zoning is, you know, does conform to what's around it. Um, there's

2920
04:12:19,840 --> 04:12:25,520
 nothing, you know, out of the ordinary about us passing it. Uh, I hope this passes because

2921
04:12:25,520 --> 04:12:31,600
 I think this would be a great step in taking care of a problem for people who need a problem

2922
04:12:31,600 --> 04:12:36,520
 taken care of. And I think, um, you know, what, whatever we can do to move compassionately

2923
04:12:36,520 --> 04:12:42,140
 toward that place to, to make this a better community because this is a community, um,

2924
04:12:42,140 --> 04:12:47,640
 you know, is something we should all stand behind. Thank you. So we have a first and

2925
04:12:47,640 --> 04:12:53,840
 a second for approval. Is there any discussion on this? Commissioner Ellis. Thank you, just

2926
04:12:53,840 --> 04:12:58,360
 for clarity. Um, I know commissioner Smith said, um, approved with staff conditions,

2927
04:12:58,360 --> 04:13:01,840
 but this is just a zoning change. Correct. There are no conditions where we're putting

2928
04:13:01,840 --> 04:13:16,480
 on this. Correct. Ron, you're muted. Oh, sorry about that. No, just, uh, just the,

2929
04:13:16,480 --> 04:13:23,480
 um, um, recommendation for approval. There are no conditions. I understand. I just wanted

2930
04:13:23,480 --> 04:13:27,840
 it for clarity. Um, yeah. And then if I could just make a couple of comments, I mean, obviously

2931
04:13:27,840 --> 04:13:33,480
 we are approving a zoning change. And as commissioner Pernetta, I've just stated, I mean the PF zoning

2932
04:13:33,480 --> 04:13:43,000
 change, it completely makes sense. Um, and obviously the idea is great for, for the area.

2933
04:13:43,000 --> 04:13:47,940
 So my hope is that Danny just continues to do the great job she's doing with public outreach

2934
04:13:47,940 --> 04:13:53,480
 and continuing to put forth the effort to make this the best, you know, and a win win

2935
04:13:53,480 --> 04:13:58,640
 for, for everybody in the city of Denton. Um, obviously this became a public hearing

2936
04:13:58,640 --> 04:14:02,040
 for the homeless shelter. Um, that's not what we're doing here. We're talking about a zoning

2937
04:14:02,040 --> 04:14:07,200
 change. Um, but yeah, just keep that public outreach going so we can make this the best

2938
04:14:07,200 --> 04:14:15,840
 for the city of Denton. Thanks. Uh, commissioner Beck. Yeah, thank you. And, and because the

2939
04:14:15,840 --> 04:14:20,960
 other commissioners said, uh, actually pretty much exactly what I was feeling. I just want

2940
04:14:20,960 --> 04:14:26,660
 to commend them and share their viewpoint on, on that one. The, the other thing I want

2941
04:14:26,660 --> 04:14:31,040
 to highlight is something that commissioner Ellis brought to the front and that we had

2942
04:14:31,040 --> 04:14:36,440
 staff confirm over and over again is that we follow our own guidelines. So, uh, we're

2943
04:14:36,440 --> 04:14:41,520
 going to follow the rules that we set for ourselves and, and those are going to be what

2944
04:14:41,520 --> 04:14:46,080
 Danny operates under and, and makes this the best possible property that it possibly can't

2945
04:14:46,080 --> 04:14:51,360
 be for Denton. So, uh, I completely concur with the, uh, people who have spoken so far.

2946
04:14:51,360 --> 04:15:00,120
 Thank you. All right. We have a first and a second for approval. Any other discussion?

2947
04:15:00,120 --> 04:15:05,520
 Seeing none. Uh, the only two cents I will add before we vote via roll call is, uh, commissioner

2948
04:15:05,520 --> 04:15:09,800
 Ellis is right. This is a zoning and even if looking at the zoning map, uh, PF makes

2949
04:15:09,800 --> 04:15:15,320
 a whole lot of sense here. Um, so on its surface, uh, it makes a lot of sense. Moreover, when

2950
04:15:15,320 --> 04:15:19,480
 we think about the plans already in place to build out a homeless shelter, there's concerns

2951
04:15:19,480 --> 04:15:24,800
 about the geography of it and the commissioner Smith's point. It makes complete sense given

2952
04:15:24,800 --> 04:15:30,280
 the resources available at serve Denton just down the road. Uh, and then there is comment

2953
04:15:30,280 --> 04:15:35,500
 I made about the salvation army, which is speculative, um, of what's happening there.

2954
04:15:35,500 --> 04:15:40,760
 And all I would say is if didn't becomes a city in which we have an oversupply of homeless

2955
04:15:40,760 --> 04:15:45,720
 beds, I think that's a win. Um, because it says we're doing something right to serve

2956
04:15:45,720 --> 04:15:51,960
 that population. Um, right now we all see it every day that there are people that don't

2957
04:15:51,960 --> 04:15:58,000
 have places to stay, uh, and they are, they're suffering and, um, we have great nonprofits

2958
04:15:58,000 --> 04:16:02,140
 trying to serve them. Uh, and I think they're doing a great job. Uh, but it is clear to

2959
04:16:02,140 --> 04:16:08,140
 me that didn't needs more, uh, support for these individuals. And so if, uh, the city

2960
04:16:08,140 --> 04:16:12,000
 of Denton can make something happen and salvation army wants to pair with them, then, then I

2961
04:16:12,000 --> 04:16:17,240
 think we should provide the best service we can. And then our goal is to reduce the number

2962
04:16:17,240 --> 04:16:22,080
 of occupants because we're, we're, we're creating, uh, some successes and getting people back

2963
04:16:22,080 --> 04:16:27,220
 on their feet. And so, um, with that, I happily support this, uh, but we'll go ahead and take

2964
04:16:27,220 --> 04:16:35,640
 a vote via roll call. Uh, first step is commissioner Beck. Aye. Commissioner Ellis. Aye. Commissioner

2965
04:16:35,640 --> 04:16:46,160
 Anderson. Aye. Commissioner Smith. Aye. Commissioner Cole. Aye. Commissioner Pernetta. Aye. Chair's

2966
04:16:46,160 --> 04:16:53,400
 also an aye. The motion carries seven zero. The next item of consideration, uh, is item

2967
04:16:53,400 --> 04:17:01,160
 five D S 20 dash zero zero zero one. Before we hop into this, I just want to be respectful.

2968
04:17:01,160 --> 04:17:06,080
 Does anyone need to take a break or would like to take a break or should we hear this

2969
04:17:06,080 --> 04:17:13,200
 last item? Okay. Well, let's, uh, let's go ahead and hear the last item. Uh, so this

2970
04:17:13,200 --> 04:17:17,960
 item is being presented by, uh, Ron Maguida and I will open the public hearing. Thank

2971
04:17:17,960 --> 04:17:34,320
 you, chair. Uh, let me pull up the presentation. Ron Maguida, principal planner with development

2972
04:17:34,320 --> 04:17:40,800
 services. Uh, this, uh, item for consideration is a specific use permit for a project, uh,

2973
04:17:40,800 --> 04:17:46,680
 called mockingbird multifamily. And by name, uh, this is a request again for a specific

2974
04:17:46,680 --> 04:17:51,920
 use permit to allow for a multifamily use, uh, which is located as you can see here on

2975
04:17:51,920 --> 04:17:58,080
 the corner of bingo and mockingbird outline in yellow. Uh, the proposed, uh, multifamily

2976
04:17:58,080 --> 04:18:05,080
 is going to consist of 149 dwelling units, um, within six buildings, a clubhouse and

2977
04:18:05,080 --> 04:18:15,040
 20, sorry, 250 associate parking spaces. Um, the future land use for this area is shown

2978
04:18:15,040 --> 04:18:20,760
 here as moderate residential. And on the left, you can see that the description of a moderate

2979
04:18:20,760 --> 04:18:25,920
 residential is four to 12 dwelling units, uh, low rise, multifamily dwellings and town

2980
04:18:25,920 --> 04:18:31,200
 homes, uh, keeping in scale and, and style of buildings, uh, with the neighborhood or

2981
04:18:31,200 --> 04:18:37,240
 the area, uh, providing a transition between low residential and a more intense commercial

2982
04:18:37,240 --> 04:18:42,520
 use. Uh, and you can see from the map here, you, you have some single family, uh, lower

2983
04:18:42,520 --> 04:18:48,920
 intense uses in between modern residential and then the community mixed use, uh, which

2984
04:18:48,920 --> 04:18:56,240
 is a long university. The current zoning, uh, per the 2019 development code, uh, transitioned

2985
04:18:56,240 --> 04:19:03,240
 this area from, um, what it was once NRME 12 to now our seven, uh, our seven requires

2986
04:19:03,240 --> 04:19:08,680
 a multi, I'm sorry, a specific use permit or multifamily. The maximum building height

2987
04:19:08,680 --> 04:19:15,440
 is 40 feet with a building coverage maximum of 65 feet. Um, there is no density requirements

2988
04:19:15,440 --> 04:19:21,760
 in the 2019 development code. So what, um, property owners and developers have to comply

2989
04:19:21,760 --> 04:19:25,680
 with is the parking requirements, landscape and open space requirements, as well as tree

2990
04:19:25,680 --> 04:19:31,960
 preservation requirements. So why are we here today? Um, and I failed to mention that this

2991
04:19:31,960 --> 04:19:39,760
 is a site that you have seen before. It was under consideration for a specific use permit

2992
04:19:39,760 --> 04:19:45,920
 back about a couple of years ago. And on July 16th, 2019, the city council approved the

2993
04:19:45,920 --> 04:19:53,520
 specific use permit for this site for multifamily with conditions. And those conditions, um,

2994
04:19:53,520 --> 04:20:01,240
 as you see here in on the screen allows for staff to make any corrections or adjustments,

2995
04:20:01,240 --> 04:20:07,480
 but only up to 5% either increase or decrease. Uh, and why we're here tonight is because

2996
04:20:07,480 --> 04:20:13,000
 the applicant is wanting to change their site plan and their program for their, for their

2997
04:20:13,000 --> 04:20:19,400
 development, uh, because it does increase more than 5% or decreased by more than 5%

2998
04:20:19,400 --> 04:20:25,080
 a new specific use permit is required. Uh, specifically the number of buildings, the

2999
04:20:25,080 --> 04:20:32,360
 number of dwelling units, and also the number of parking spaces all exceed that 5%. What

3000
04:20:32,360 --> 04:20:38,000
 we have in front of you here is a chart that illustrates what, um, was approved under the

3001
04:20:38,000 --> 04:20:46,500
 2019, um, um, SUP July 16th, 2019. And what is currently being requested as part of this

3002
04:20:46,500 --> 04:20:53,480
 proposed SUP, um, just way of describing the, the column under here is actually under the

3003
04:20:53,480 --> 04:21:00,240
 2002. And then what's currently being proposed is under the 2019. The zoning is again stated

3004
04:21:00,240 --> 04:21:06,840
 earlier is our seven. The site has not changed as far as acreage. The number of dwell a number

3005
04:21:06,840 --> 04:21:12,840
 of buildings that is, is going from 12 to six, uh, with a clubhouse, the number of square

3006
04:21:12,840 --> 04:21:18,080
 footage has increased. The number of units has also increased. Just want to note that

3007
04:21:18,080 --> 04:21:22,120
 the reason why the units have increased is because there are more one bedrooms versus

3008
04:21:22,120 --> 04:21:27,600
 two and three bedrooms. As a result of the more one bedroom units, um, the number of

3009
04:21:27,600 --> 04:21:36,000
 parking spaces required has dropped from 343 to 202. Uh, sorry, I, I stand corrected. The

3010
04:21:36,000 --> 04:21:44,960
 number of bedrooms, um, that was proposed, um, or, uh, back in 2019 is 343. And what

3011
04:21:44,960 --> 04:21:49,880
 is being proposed today is 202 because of the number of bedrooms dropping the number

3012
04:21:49,880 --> 04:21:57,480
 of parking spaces has also dropped, uh, again, from three 75 to 250 parking, uh, spaces required.

3013
04:21:57,480 --> 04:22:03,600
 The number of, I'm sorry, the number of the percentage of the impervious surface has dropped.

3014
04:22:03,600 --> 04:22:10,760
 Uh, the landscape barrier has increased and then tree canopy has increased, um, uh, significantly.

3015
04:22:10,760 --> 04:22:15,880
 Uh, and then the, the other two items here, the lot and building garbage are difficult

3016
04:22:15,880 --> 04:22:21,000
 to compare because one is lot and one is building. Uh, and then the tree, uh, tree preservation

3017
04:22:21,000 --> 04:22:26,600
 is also difficult to compare because one is 2002 and one in 2019. But again, I want to

3018
04:22:26,600 --> 04:22:33,160
 focus the differences in the number of buildings, the number of units, the number of bedrooms,

3019
04:22:33,160 --> 04:22:39,320
 which has decreased, which again, as a result also dropped the number of parking spaces.

3020
04:22:39,320 --> 04:22:44,840
 This here illustrates what was approved under the 2000 or the previous, um, SUP and what

3021
04:22:44,840 --> 04:22:49,840
 is currently proposed under this request. Um, for this SUP, you can see that the number

3022
04:22:49,840 --> 04:22:55,360
 of buildings have obviously decreased. Uh, there are a lot more open space. As a result,

3023
04:22:55,360 --> 04:23:01,280
 the areas to the north along the railroad has a lot more open space and trees, uh, either

3024
04:23:01,280 --> 04:23:07,360
 replanted or preserved, uh, to the East, uh, I'm sorry, to the West. There are also additional

3025
04:23:07,360 --> 04:23:13,440
 open spaces than compared to what was, uh, proven 2019. And then the Southern border

3026
04:23:13,440 --> 04:23:18,960
 of the property still has the buffer or the screening, uh, landscaping that was proposed

3027
04:23:18,960 --> 04:23:27,080
 prior. Really quickly, I'm going to illustrate some of the, um, the site plan and landscape

3028
04:23:27,080 --> 04:23:32,720
 plan. This is the proposed site plan. It identifies that, uh, they've met all of the requirements

3029
04:23:32,720 --> 04:23:38,640
 as far as setbacks. It also meets the building maximum building coverage, uh, as well as

3030
04:23:38,640 --> 04:23:45,760
 the required parking spaces. They all are in compliant in regards to those standards.

3031
04:23:45,760 --> 04:23:51,760
 The landscaping, uh, similarly has met the requirement based on the site plan submitted

3032
04:23:51,760 --> 04:23:56,960
 with regards to landscape area, tree canopy cover, uh, the landscape and buffer points,

3033
04:23:56,960 --> 04:24:03,800
 and then the minimum open space, um, uh, for the residents of 8% has also been provided.

3034
04:24:03,800 --> 04:24:08,400
 Uh, the majority of that, as you can see, based on this illustration is in the center

3035
04:24:08,400 --> 04:24:16,080
 of the proposed development. The tree preservation also, um, was reviewed and you can see based

3036
04:24:16,080 --> 04:24:23,580
 on this, that they are preserving the minimum 30% of the tree, uh, DB, uh, DBH, uh, diameter

3037
04:24:23,580 --> 04:24:29,240
 breast height. And most of the locate is located along the Northern portion of the development,

3038
04:24:29,240 --> 04:24:34,360
 uh, along the railroad tracks. There are some along the within the middle of the development.

3039
04:24:34,360 --> 04:24:42,220
 And then again, some along the Southern portion of the proposed site. Um, as with any application,

3040
04:24:42,220 --> 04:24:48,200
 there are the, uh, 13 that we look at as far as approval criteria. Uh, again, I won't read

3041
04:24:48,200 --> 04:24:54,000
 all of them, but again, I wanted to focus on the three that are in bold as far as consistent

3042
04:24:54,000 --> 04:25:00,160
 with the comprehensive plan, uh, how it, um, how it minimizes or affects the surrounding

3043
04:25:00,160 --> 04:25:05,680
 facilities. And does the proposed SUP, uh, with the proposed multifamily development,

3044
04:25:05,680 --> 04:25:12,080
 um, does that provide adequate, uh, public services and facilities within the area? Lastly,

3045
04:25:12,080 --> 04:25:17,040
 there is also a section in the code that speaks to the specific use permit approval criteria.

3046
04:25:17,040 --> 04:25:24,060
 Um, there are a total of six, uh, very similar to the first, uh, set of approval criteria,

3047
04:25:24,060 --> 04:25:29,160
 but I'll just read these, uh, real quickly that the specific use, uh, proposed is compatible

3048
04:25:29,160 --> 04:25:36,360
 with this surrounding area that it does, uh, not, uh, create, um, impact on future development,

3049
04:25:36,360 --> 04:25:42,120
 that it meets all standards of the DDC, that any, um, impacts are adequately mitigated

3050
04:25:42,120 --> 04:25:48,480
 in terms of utilities and other, um, services, uh, that is in, it is in conformance with

3051
04:25:48,480 --> 04:25:53,080
 comprehensive plan and it does not adversely impact the health, safety, and welfare of

3052
04:25:53,080 --> 04:26:00,080
 the citizens or inhabitants of the city of Den. Um, I, I want to also share with, uh,

3053
04:26:00,080 --> 04:26:05,960
 with you all that the site is surrounded by, uh, some major streets, um, University, uh,

3054
04:26:05,960 --> 04:26:12,120
 to the north, Mingo, um, to the northwest, uh, we have also Audra to the south and then

3055
04:26:12,120 --> 04:26:18,040
 Mockingbird is the spine that, that, um, is aligned with the site and that will be the

3056
04:26:18,040 --> 04:26:24,880
 major, um, access for the proposed development. Uh, with that, there are a number of the existing

3057
04:26:24,880 --> 04:26:31,920
 residential neighborhoods, uh, to note the Bel Air North, uh, addition is an area just

3058
04:26:31,920 --> 04:26:37,640
 directly to the south, uh, and in the last, uh, specific use, uh, permit, uh, consideration,

3059
04:26:37,640 --> 04:26:43,480
 we did hear a lot from these folks. Uh, as of today, we have only received one and that

3060
04:26:43,480 --> 04:26:48,920
 person, um, that had submitted their comment is along Stockton street and generally in

3061
04:26:48,920 --> 04:26:56,320
 this area here, just so just directly south of the site mobility plan shares, uh, shows

3062
04:26:56,320 --> 04:27:02,720
 that the, um, the Mockingbird road, um, lane that is, it's, it's designated as a collector

3063
04:27:02,720 --> 04:27:08,920
 and Mingo is a designated secondary arterial. Uh, and I want to make mention that these

3064
04:27:08,920 --> 04:27:14,680
 streets are currently not built to their roadway classification, so they're, they're, um, they're

3065
04:27:14,680 --> 04:27:20,280
 not up to what is, uh, planned for the future, but, um, again, those are the designation

3066
04:27:20,280 --> 04:27:27,280
 as per the mobility plan. This slide here illustrates or shows that we have done our

3067
04:27:27,280 --> 04:27:33,240
 analysis, um, staff has prepared a staff analysis that is included in your backup. Again, trying

3068
04:27:33,240 --> 04:27:37,960
 to address those approval criteria, uh, we looked at the, uh, the land use element, how

3069
04:27:37,960 --> 04:27:42,800
 it is compatible with the surrounding area. Does it provide adequate capacity for public

3070
04:27:42,800 --> 04:27:47,880
 services and facilities? There was a TIA that was submitted for this application. There

3071
04:27:47,880 --> 04:27:52,640
 was one before, um, because they changed their site plan, we asked that the applicant prepare

3072
04:27:52,640 --> 04:27:59,480
 a new one and that has also been, uh, submitted, reviewed and approved by staff. Uh, the results

3073
04:27:59,480 --> 04:28:04,960
 of that TIA, uh, required mitigation measures in the form of two right turn lanes that lead

3074
04:28:04,960 --> 04:28:11,040
 into the development. There was also a flood study done, uh, as a result of that flood

3075
04:28:11,040 --> 04:28:16,160
 study, it determined that there were no adverse impact, uh, for the development as a result

3076
04:28:16,160 --> 04:28:20,640
 of the development. And again, the preliminary site plan, a proposed site plan and landscape

3077
04:28:20,640 --> 04:28:26,440
 plan that, uh, we have, we saw will, um, as shown will comply with the development code

3078
04:28:26,440 --> 04:28:34,320
 standards, uh, as it relates to the following, uh, sections of the code. As noted earlier,

3079
04:28:34,320 --> 04:28:41,240
 we, we did send notifications, uh, to, uh, properties within 200 feet, 28 in total, and

3080
04:28:41,240 --> 04:28:48,400
 then 83 postcards to properties within 500 feet. And as of this afternoon, uh, this site,

3081
04:28:48,400 --> 04:28:53,120
 this slide hasn't been updated, but again, we received one in opposition. And again,

3082
04:28:53,120 --> 04:28:59,640
 that person lives, uh, on Stockton street. There were two virtual neighborhood meetings,

3083
04:28:59,640 --> 04:29:05,920
 uh, held again. This is recently, this was earlier this year, July 16th and July 20th.

3084
04:29:05,920 --> 04:29:12,840
 Um, the applicant hosted that virtual meeting. There were, uh, I would say six or seven participants

3085
04:29:12,840 --> 04:29:19,680
 that participated, uh, five or so in the first one, and then one in the last one. And the

3086
04:29:19,680 --> 04:29:25,880
 applicant presented the proposed changes and also answered questions related to their concerns.

3087
04:29:25,880 --> 04:29:32,400
 Um, with that, um, staff, uh, is recommending approval, uh, as it is, uh, compliant with

3088
04:29:32,400 --> 04:29:37,520
 the criteria of approvals that, that were stated earlier. Uh, we are recommending the

3089
04:29:37,520 --> 04:29:43,000
 same conditions are very similar in the sense that, uh, the proposed or preliminary site

3090
04:29:43,000 --> 04:29:49,400
 plan and landscape plan will be tied to the ordinance and any changes to those site plan

3091
04:29:49,400 --> 04:29:55,960
 or a landscape plan, uh, can happen as long as it does not increase, um, or decrease more

3092
04:29:55,960 --> 04:30:00,680
 than 5%. Uh, and what we're talking about are again, the number of buildings, the number

3093
04:30:00,680 --> 04:30:06,440
 of dwelling units, the number of parking spaces, and also the maximum, um, building coverage.

3094
04:30:06,440 --> 04:30:14,760
 So as long as they comply with these, uh, set of, um, development, um, topics or items,

3095
04:30:14,760 --> 04:30:19,920
 then, um, they are good. However, if again, things change, then obviously, um, they would

3096
04:30:19,920 --> 04:30:27,320
 have to resubmit a new application. With that, I'll stand for any questions. Um, the applicant

3097
04:30:27,320 --> 04:30:33,160
 is also hopefully on the line and has a presentation, um, that, uh, they've prepared and shared

3098
04:30:33,160 --> 04:30:41,720
 with staff. Uh, thank you, Ron. Uh, Christopher Beck. Thank you, Ron. Um, so something I forgot

3099
04:30:41,720 --> 04:30:46,400
 to ask you in work session is, uh, what, what school district or school district, what schools

3100
04:30:46,400 --> 04:30:52,680
 are these, is this area zoned for? Is it Wilson? I don't know off the top of my head off. And

3101
04:30:52,680 --> 04:30:58,120
 did we, did we talk with the, um, the district about, uh, the increased load depending on

3102
04:30:58,120 --> 04:31:01,760
 the school? That's a typical thing we typically see. That, that is, that is something that

3103
04:31:01,760 --> 04:31:06,160
 obviously with, with the zoning, obviously with the con the conference, I'm sorry, the

3104
04:31:06,160 --> 04:31:11,760
 development code update, uh, we obviously made them aware now as far as the use itself,

3105
04:31:11,760 --> 04:31:17,640
 um, you know, multifamily, um, that is something that would need to be, uh, further, uh, uh,

3106
04:31:17,640 --> 04:31:21,720
 discussed with the school district. Uh, obviously, uh, from between now and, and city council

3107
04:31:21,720 --> 04:31:26,080
 will certainly reach out. We did, we, we normally do it with zoning and SUPs is a little bit

3108
04:31:26,080 --> 04:31:31,660
 more different, but we can certainly reach out to, uh, DISD and get that, uh, comment

3109
04:31:31,660 --> 04:31:38,020
 from them. All right. Thank you, Ron. Any other questions for Ron, or we can invite

3110
04:31:38,020 --> 04:31:45,880
 the applicant for his presentation or her presentation. Okay, great. Um, if the applicant

3111
04:31:45,880 --> 04:31:51,240
 is on the line, they can go ahead and unmute themselves. Yeah. My name is Patrick Phelps

3112
04:31:51,240 --> 04:31:56,440
 and I'm with Kirkman engineering. Can you hear me? We sure can. Patrick, as the applicant,

3113
04:31:56,440 --> 04:32:00,960
 you have 10 minutes to present. And I think, uh, Ron has the slides being pulled up for

3114
04:32:00,960 --> 04:32:04,920
 you right now. All right. I've got the wrong slide here. Let me, let me try to scan. I

3115
04:32:04,920 --> 04:32:22,820
 can do that one. Sorry, Patrick. Um, there we go. You're, you're fine. I can, I can give

3116
04:32:22,820 --> 04:32:27,840
 you my address now. My address is 5,200 state highway one 21 in Colleyville, Texas. And

3117
04:32:27,840 --> 04:32:32,480
 I am with Kirkman engineering here this evening, representing the owner and developer of the

3118
04:32:32,480 --> 04:32:39,240
 property, um, who is also on the column and has a, uh, has lost his voice. So he's going

3119
04:32:39,240 --> 04:32:43,020
 to, he's got a little challenge talking this evening. So I'll try to answer all the questions

3120
04:32:43,020 --> 04:32:49,800
 I can. And if he needs to jump in, he can as well. Um, Ron, do I just have you change

3121
04:32:49,800 --> 04:32:57,700
 the slide? Yes, go ahead. Okay. Um, and like Ron mentioned that we do have an existing

3122
04:32:57,700 --> 04:33:03,580
 SUP on this site for multifamily use. Um, I'll get into the reasons why we're requesting

3123
04:33:03,580 --> 04:33:11,120
 a revision to that SUP or a new be, um, in just a moment. Um, Ron covered his presentation

3124
04:33:11,120 --> 04:33:15,280
 was a very extremely good, extremely thorough, covers a lot of the same talking points that,

3125
04:33:15,280 --> 04:33:20,280
 that I will, I won't spend a lot of time as it's, it's getting late in the evening and,

3126
04:33:20,280 --> 04:33:27,180
 um, waste your time with duplicate effort here. Um, so if we go to the next slide, again,

3127
04:33:27,180 --> 04:33:33,300
 just the location of the property, uh, we've do one of the points I want to clarify from

3128
04:33:33,300 --> 04:33:39,160
 the work session is that we don't really have direct access or adjacency to mingle road.

3129
04:33:39,160 --> 04:33:45,100
 We've got a large railroad right away. That is a buffer between us and the, uh, mingle

3130
04:33:45,100 --> 04:33:49,480
 road right of way. So we don't, we're not, we're not taking access directly from it.

3131
04:33:49,480 --> 04:33:53,540
 We don't have, we're not making improvements to it. We have studied it a number of times

3132
04:33:53,540 --> 04:33:57,540
 and studied the traffic on that road, um, the number of times through this process,

3133
04:33:57,540 --> 04:34:06,080
 but we are one property, um, removed from it. Um, if we go to the next slide, okay,

3134
04:34:06,080 --> 04:34:11,780
 again, existing zoning are R7 with, with an existing SUP. Again, we're requesting an SUP

3135
04:34:11,780 --> 04:34:19,360
 for multifamily use. Next slide. Okay. And you know, I think the, the first question

3136
04:34:19,360 --> 04:34:23,900
 from you guys has got to be what, what are we doing here? Why are we, we just approved

3137
04:34:23,900 --> 04:34:28,180
 this SUP last year. Why don't you go build your SUP, your, your multifamily use in accordance

3138
04:34:28,180 --> 04:34:33,160
 with the SUP that we worked, you know, a tremendous amount of time back and forth with you guys,

3139
04:34:33,160 --> 04:34:39,820
 with council, with staff, spent a lot of effort last year getting this done. Um, and, and

3140
04:34:39,820 --> 04:34:44,160
 it's, it's a, it's a good question is why, why are we asking for this SUP? During that

3141
04:34:44,160 --> 04:34:49,240
 time since we've been approved, we've really spent a lot of time researching, you know,

3142
04:34:49,240 --> 04:34:54,080
 corporate research, um, working with other developers, multifamily developers that work

3143
04:34:54,080 --> 04:34:58,680
 in this community, work in other communities and, and seeing what works best, what, what

3144
04:34:58,680 --> 04:35:07,000
 are these, what are these items that we could do, um, better. And, and so when we did that,

3145
04:35:07,000 --> 04:35:11,320
 we kind of went back to the drawing boards with, with a new design team and looked at

3146
04:35:11,320 --> 04:35:18,140
 it. And what we ended up with was a significant, uh, change in our program, like Ron mentioned,

3147
04:35:18,140 --> 04:35:24,720
 it was, it was more than what was allowed in the approved SUP. And we've got a side

3148
04:35:24,720 --> 04:35:28,760
 by side comparison here of, of kind of some of the things that have changed, you know,

3149
04:35:28,760 --> 04:35:32,720
 the, the big, the big things here are, you know, we are increasing the number of units

3150
04:35:32,720 --> 04:35:43,920
 118 to 149 and, but we're not increasing the density. And really in reality, we are reducing

3151
04:35:43,920 --> 04:35:47,720
 the density by the number of bedrooms, by the number of parking spaces, by the number

3152
04:35:47,720 --> 04:35:56,600
 of total people that will be utilizing this development. And then by creating, we really

3153
04:35:56,600 --> 04:36:05,040
 try to cluster the open spaces and consolidate the open spaces and the living spaces into

3154
04:36:05,040 --> 04:36:09,920
 more regional spaces within the development. And by doing that, we were able to monetize

3155
04:36:09,920 --> 04:36:15,560
 the multifamily area significantly more. Whereas before we were providing a swimming pool and

3156
04:36:15,560 --> 04:36:20,400
 a dog park and some, and the necessary open space to meet the ordinances and, and the,

3157
04:36:20,400 --> 04:36:25,560
 the amount of landscaped areas that that's required, but they were really segmented and

3158
04:36:25,560 --> 04:36:29,880
 it was a little piece here and a little piece there. And with this new layout, we really

3159
04:36:29,880 --> 04:36:35,280
 consolidated all that. And you'll see in just a moment, there's large open spaces in the

3160
04:36:35,280 --> 04:36:39,640
 center of the buildings and in a courtyard type area. And then you could see the list

3161
04:36:39,640 --> 04:36:45,480
 of amenities. We had a clubhouse with a resort style pool, sand volleyball court, um, basketball

3162
04:36:45,480 --> 04:36:50,400
 court in a number of things, uh, that, that we're doing above and beyond what was doing

3163
04:36:50,400 --> 04:36:54,840
 we were providing previously. And then the two big items that we really want to point

3164
04:36:54,840 --> 04:36:59,280
 out here are the total number of bedrooms and the total number of parking spaces. Um,

3165
04:36:59,280 --> 04:37:03,880
 previously that, that was where the largest concerns is, is really the traffic impacts

3166
04:37:03,880 --> 04:37:10,200
 to the area. And, and then this is the biggest, uh, positive we can provide with this new

3167
04:37:10,200 --> 04:37:15,280
 development plan is by just reducing the overall number of people that will be living here.

3168
04:37:15,280 --> 04:37:20,620
 And it's not, it can't be any more clear than just reducing the number of bedrooms and parking

3169
04:37:20,620 --> 04:37:27,160
 spaces. So, and site plan improvements, we've got additional green space and I think just

3170
04:37:27,160 --> 04:37:33,080
 improved green space and you know, the overall impervious areas is not changed significantly,

3171
04:37:33,080 --> 04:37:38,960
 but I think the way it's being used is being changed significantly. Um, elevation improvements.

3172
04:37:38,960 --> 04:37:45,240
 We'll touch on those in just a moment. We go to the next slide, Ron. Okay. Um, the neighborhood

3173
04:37:45,240 --> 04:37:52,400
 feedback. So we, we did hold two more public meetings virtually. Um, and some of the, the

3174
04:37:52,400 --> 04:37:57,440
 same folks that were, uh, we spoke with last year came out and we spoke with them again.

3175
04:37:57,440 --> 04:38:02,480
 And general, the, the feedback was positive when, when they see the, the work that's been

3176
04:38:02,480 --> 04:38:06,800
 done on this thing and the, the renderings that we'll look at in just a minute and what

3177
04:38:06,800 --> 04:38:10,080
 this, what this product is going to actually look like and how it's potentially going to

3178
04:38:10,080 --> 04:38:14,760
 function. I think everybody was in agreement that this is just an overall better product.

3179
04:38:14,760 --> 04:38:18,780
 And that's at the end of the, at the end of the day, that's why we're bringing this back

3180
04:38:18,780 --> 04:38:25,120
 to your commission and hopefully to city council for approval is that we just felt a significantly

3181
04:38:25,120 --> 04:38:29,640
 better product and we would just be doing a disservice to the community and to ourselves

3182
04:38:29,640 --> 04:38:35,240
 by moving forward with what we had previously approved. And so we're here tonight asking

3183
04:38:35,240 --> 04:38:40,360
 for an approval on a new SUP on what we believe is a better product. And I hope you guys do

3184
04:38:40,360 --> 04:38:48,320
 too. Um, last couple of items that the tree canopy cover as, as increased and by a significant

3185
04:38:48,320 --> 04:38:54,880
 amount. And then the, uh, building a lot, coverages are, are within the tolerances that

3186
04:38:54,880 --> 04:39:02,560
 allowed by ordinance. Um, Ron, when the next line, just real quick, just the approved layout

3187
04:39:02,560 --> 04:39:08,660
 and we'll, we'll go to the next slide. Oh, the previously approved layout just for reference.

3188
04:39:08,660 --> 04:39:15,360
 And then our, our, uh, proposed plan. And just with the naked eye, I think you could

3189
04:39:15,360 --> 04:39:20,440
 just tell and see the immediate difference of the, the can now consolidated open spaces

3190
04:39:20,440 --> 04:39:24,840
 that I'm speaking of where the buildings, the building and living spaces are really

3191
04:39:24,840 --> 04:39:29,200
 localized in a, in a, you know, clusters of themselves. And then the same is true with

3192
04:39:29,200 --> 04:39:37,920
 the open space and it's really activated and be more useful to the con the product consumer

3193
04:39:37,920 --> 04:39:45,680
 here who are the folks that will live in this development. Next slide. We've just got a

3194
04:39:45,680 --> 04:39:52,560
 zoom in on the site data table there and it shows you the breakdown of, of the number

3195
04:39:52,560 --> 04:39:57,880
 of units and how we, how the bedrooms were counted, um, the parking spaces were counted,

3196
04:39:57,880 --> 04:40:02,240
 things like that, that are pertinent to really the detailed items of things we can, we can

3197
04:40:02,240 --> 04:40:11,060
 go back to if we need to with any questions. Next slide, Ron. Okay. Um, this is our landscape

3198
04:40:11,060 --> 04:40:16,920
 plan and the, the challenge with this site was preserving as many trees as we possibly

3199
04:40:16,920 --> 04:40:23,320
 could. That, that was a task asked of us, um, last year and while we're working with

3200
04:40:23,320 --> 04:40:28,560
 the original SGP, um, we got over that hurdle and, and with this plant, we've made improvements.

3201
04:40:28,560 --> 04:40:32,720
 I think we're able to save more trees and preserve more trees. Um, now than we were

3202
04:40:32,720 --> 04:40:40,360
 previous flame and, uh, accommodate the, the change in, in, uh, in ordinances as well.

3203
04:40:40,360 --> 04:40:45,720
 So the, the, the ordinances change and we've updated that and, um, we're, we're working

3204
04:40:45,720 --> 04:40:51,040
 with within that and, you know, we've got a very conservative plan here in front of

3205
04:40:51,040 --> 04:40:55,420
 you today and we just hope to be able to save even more trees once we get into the design

3206
04:40:55,420 --> 04:41:01,880
 phase of this project. Next slide. A tree mitigation plan. You can see the trees that

3207
04:41:01,880 --> 04:41:10,720
 were, um, proposing to preserve the, the Southern cluster on the, on the property line are,

3208
04:41:10,720 --> 04:41:15,360
 are critical for us and we're going to make an extreme effort to, to preserve those trees

3209
04:41:15,360 --> 04:41:19,720
 and you'll see in a moment with a rendering slide on how, on how that's going to buffer

3210
04:41:19,720 --> 04:41:26,840
 us from the residential folks to the, to the South. Next slide. Just to break down again,

3211
04:41:26,840 --> 04:41:34,800
 like the site data table of, of the tree preservation, um, quantities, you've got the new categories

3212
04:41:34,800 --> 04:41:40,440
 of landmark heritage quality and secondary trees and just the breakdown of, of the percentage

3213
04:41:40,440 --> 04:41:43,560
 of trees that we're, that we're saving in each of those categories and then ultimately

3214
04:41:43,560 --> 04:41:51,280
 what we'll have to, to mitigate for. Um, there you go. Next slide. A new and improved elevation

3215
04:41:51,280 --> 04:41:55,840
 here. Uh, I think we're really excited about, about the, these next couple of slides and

3216
04:41:55,840 --> 04:41:59,640
 I think we'll really show the image and the vision of what we're, we're trying to achieve

3217
04:41:59,640 --> 04:42:08,780
 here. I mean, just a very modern, clean look, a two story product that I think everyone

3218
04:42:08,780 --> 04:42:13,600
 will be supportive of. And it just, it's just a nice looking product, we believe in a, in

3219
04:42:13,600 --> 04:42:20,640
 a vast improvement over the garages and things like that, that we had on the previous plan.

3220
04:42:20,640 --> 04:42:28,680
 Next slide. And so what we've tried to illustrate here is, is how we'll, um, work with the property

3221
04:42:28,680 --> 04:42:32,980
 owners to the South. And you can see the drainage channel, the concrete channel that's actually

3222
04:42:32,980 --> 04:42:39,120
 in the subdivision to the South. It's in the, um, residential lots. And so our property

3223
04:42:39,120 --> 04:42:44,260
 starts at the tree line. You can see just there on, on the North side of the concrete

3224
04:42:44,260 --> 04:42:52,240
 channel. Um, and then we've, with the rendering, we were able to put, put in our two store

3225
04:42:52,240 --> 04:42:56,160
 product, keep those trees, the existing trees that are going to be there today and show

3226
04:42:56,160 --> 04:43:00,760
 the line of sight from a, from a residential, um, property on the other side of the channel

3227
04:43:00,760 --> 04:43:09,400
 and, and just illustrate the buffer that will be there, um, as an existing, um, landscape

3228
04:43:09,400 --> 04:43:14,920
 buffer with the trees that are there today. I think that that's, it's an important point

3229
04:43:14,920 --> 04:43:22,280
 and we will go make an extra effort to preserve those trees, to preserve that, that buffer.

3230
04:43:22,280 --> 04:43:28,600
 Next slide. Just, uh, I think this is where the visioning really comes into play. And,

3231
04:43:28,600 --> 04:43:33,960
 and we worked with a really excellent, uh, design team that, that, that's able to produce

3232
04:43:33,960 --> 04:43:38,600
 these types of renderings and really get, give a feel for how the community will, will

3233
04:43:38,600 --> 04:43:43,680
 function. And I think with the, in the interior space, you can see in the courtyard between

3234
04:43:43,680 --> 04:43:51,480
 the buildings where your, your imagination can really run wild. What, what, what would

3235
04:43:51,480 --> 04:43:54,640
 happen in those areas, you know, where you could have kids out there playing, you've

3236
04:43:54,640 --> 04:43:58,520
 got people utilizing the pool, volleyball courts, basketball courts. I think it's, it's

3237
04:43:58,520 --> 04:44:02,040
 just a really neat community and a really nice space for, for everyone that would live

3238
04:44:02,040 --> 04:44:10,280
 there. Uh, next slide. And then we're just pointing out the, the items and the, uh, amenities

3239
04:44:10,280 --> 04:44:17,240
 in the area, utilizing the open space, utilizing, utilizing these existing trees and then, um,

3240
04:44:17,240 --> 04:44:24,480
 creating those clusters of, of active open spaces. Next slide. And then again, like Ron

3241
04:44:24,480 --> 04:44:29,760
 had, I think this is the, paints the biggest picture and, and, you know, without looking

3242
04:44:29,760 --> 04:44:36,480
 at the data, without looking at, you know, 57% versus 60% of, of impervious area, I think

3243
04:44:36,480 --> 04:44:40,400
 it, it's just clear that there's a superior product here. And then this is the slide and

3244
04:44:40,400 --> 04:44:46,320
 this exact image is what really drove us to come back before you and, and make this request

3245
04:44:46,320 --> 04:44:52,720
 so close from being approved last year. And we just believe it's, it's a far superior

3246
04:44:52,720 --> 04:44:58,080
 product that, that you guys can get behind in support that the community can, can get

3247
04:44:58,080 --> 04:45:05,040
 behind in support and that, and that we're really proud of. Um, so, uh, we can go to

3248
04:45:05,040 --> 04:45:10,200
 the next slide and I think it's just questions. Yeah. So I, I, I'm here to answer any questions

3249
04:45:10,200 --> 04:45:16,060
 you may have and, and, uh, we hope to move forward with, with your support.

3250
04:45:16,060 --> 04:45:23,420
 Thank you, Mr. Filson for that, uh, presentation. Commissioner Smith. Actually, you know what?

3251
04:45:23,420 --> 04:45:27,240
 You did answer, uh, the reason why you, uh, reason why you changed your, your mind. So

3252
04:45:27,240 --> 04:45:33,440
 thank you very much, Mr. Filson. I appreciate it. Commissioner Cole. Mr. Filson, uh, could

3253
04:45:33,440 --> 04:45:40,600
 you go back to that slide with a drainage, please, sir? That has the creek there and

3254
04:45:40,600 --> 04:45:45,880
 all that. Yep. I know which one you're talking about. Give me a second here.

3255
04:45:45,880 --> 04:45:56,460
 Yeah. Okay, right there, right there. Slide 14. Yes. So the last few years, we've had

3256
04:45:56,460 --> 04:46:05,720
 very wet springs and summers. Yes, sir. Can it handle 10 inches of rain in a week? Can

3257
04:46:05,720 --> 04:46:10,080
 it handle 10 inches of rain in a week? Yes, sir, it can. So that, that channel will actually

3258
04:46:10,080 --> 04:46:18,480
 be designed to handle a 100-year storm. So a 1% chance in any given year that you will

3259
04:46:18,480 --> 04:46:23,640
 have a rain event, which is, would likely be more than 10 inches in a week. It'd be

3260
04:46:23,640 --> 04:46:28,800
 more concentrated than that. But, and one of the, and drainage has been one of the topics

3261
04:46:28,800 --> 04:46:32,860
 that we've talked about with the, every one of the virtual meetings and the public meetings

3262
04:46:32,860 --> 04:46:38,160
 that we've, we've met with the neighbors about, because it does stay pretty soupy out there.

3263
04:46:38,160 --> 04:46:42,080
 And then on the other side of the road, they've got some areas where it ponds up and is, and

3264
04:46:42,080 --> 04:46:47,040
 create some drainage problems in that area. And what I've explained to them is one, we've

3265
04:46:47,040 --> 04:46:54,400
 done a flood study and we've remapped the FEMA floodplain map to, to be accurately aligned

3266
04:46:54,400 --> 04:47:00,240
 with what, what's actually being done out there today with that channel. And then two,

3267
04:47:00,240 --> 04:47:06,600
 the way this development will help improve that situation is where it takes a long time

3268
04:47:06,600 --> 04:47:11,680
 for that water to run across an undeveloped site that's got low spots and, and it doesn't

3269
04:47:11,680 --> 04:47:15,040
 drain real well. And it takes, it just takes a long time for that water to get moving it,

3270
04:47:15,040 --> 04:47:19,880
 get to this channel, which ultimately all has to get there regardless. When we come

3271
04:47:19,880 --> 04:47:24,200
 in and develop it, we'll have a, you know, a paved system and a pipe underground system

3272
04:47:24,200 --> 04:47:30,280
 where the water gets collected and we'll discharge into this channel well before the peak of

3273
04:47:30,280 --> 04:47:35,040
 the channel hits. So that before that channel has time to collect water from the entire

3274
04:47:35,040 --> 04:47:40,440
 region in the basin and fill up with water, our water from our site and the rain event

3275
04:47:40,440 --> 04:47:44,440
 has already gotten it, gotten into the channel and through the channel and is already downstream.

3276
04:47:44,440 --> 04:47:50,840
 And so it'll alleviate that peak on peak factor is what, what we call it in the engineering

3277
04:47:50,840 --> 04:47:58,600
 world to, to, you know, really reduce the amount of drainage issues. And so it, it does

3278
04:47:58,600 --> 04:48:02,160
 two things. It gets that water out quicker, but it also keeps the water from just sitting

3279
04:48:02,160 --> 04:48:06,840
 on a piece of property that doesn't drain well today. Well, I mean, the, the structure

3280
04:48:06,840 --> 04:48:12,000
 on the right or the left, I don't worry about the structure on the right. I believe it's

3281
04:48:12,000 --> 04:48:20,920
 from the flood. I mean, that house is real close, but I take your point and if they can

3282
04:48:20,920 --> 04:48:27,200
 handle that, you know, I take your word for it. Well, and another thing to add to that,

3283
04:48:27,200 --> 04:48:31,640
 the structure on the right, the house, it, it to, to get insurance on that house, you've

3284
04:48:31,640 --> 04:48:37,760
 got to be two feet above the floodplain. And so it's that, that structure and, you know,

3285
04:48:37,760 --> 04:48:42,720
 this is a graphic image and it's not, it's not showing as accurate, you know, 100% accurately.

3286
04:48:42,720 --> 04:48:46,840
 It's not being surveyed in or anything like that. It's really just to show kind of what's,

3287
04:48:46,840 --> 04:48:53,960
 what's happening here ideally, but just to be insured, it's two feet above the plane,

3288
04:48:53,960 --> 04:48:59,560
 the 100 year floodplain line as mapped by FEMA. Thank you, Mr. Wilson. That satisfies, satisfies

3289
04:48:59,560 --> 04:49:06,040
 my question. You bet. Any other questions for the, Chris, you're back. Thank you, Chair.

3290
04:49:06,040 --> 04:49:09,840
 I actually, I'm going to commend the developer on this. I really do think that they've improved

3291
04:49:09,840 --> 04:49:15,560
 things a lot. I mean, I, I think, you know, maybe there's some noodling you could do,

3292
04:49:15,560 --> 04:49:21,760
 but compared to the previous SUP, I, I'm, I'm favorable. The, the one admonishment I would

3293
04:49:21,760 --> 04:49:28,240
 make not to the developer is, but maybe staff is, is what I was alluding to earlier in work

3294
04:49:28,240 --> 04:49:34,360
 session is we are just cramming, cramming, cramming things on Mingo. And, and you know,

3295
04:49:34,360 --> 04:49:39,580
 all your presentations and staff, not just Ron, but every, every staff that addresses

3296
04:49:39,580 --> 04:49:44,600
 properties on Mingo, we, we are not matching our mobility plan. It's, it's a bad, it's

3297
04:49:44,600 --> 04:49:48,520
 going to be a bad scene. It's going to come before P and Z and it's going to be an issue

3298
04:49:48,520 --> 04:49:57,480
 over and over and over for council. So I just admonish staff to, to do, do be, be really,

3299
04:49:57,480 --> 04:50:01,240
 really careful with Mingo, but I, I do, I do commend the engineer. I think this is a

3300
04:50:01,240 --> 04:50:09,640
 better plan. So I, I'm, I'm, I'm suitably inclined. Thank you.

3301
04:50:09,640 --> 04:50:16,320
 Any questions for the applicant? Mr. Philson, thank you for being here in your presentation.

3302
04:50:16,320 --> 04:50:21,320
 At this time, we're going to move on to public comment for this item. We had one person make

3303
04:50:21,320 --> 04:50:26,760
 a comment using our online form. That person was against the project in this comment form

3304
04:50:26,760 --> 04:50:32,040
 where it was emailed to the commissioners and to our city secretary to be recorded.

3305
04:50:32,040 --> 04:50:37,360
 No one called in the number to register their position via like a voicemail message. And

3306
04:50:37,360 --> 04:50:42,560
 there is no one wishing to speak on this item this evening. So with that, I will close the

3307
04:50:42,560 --> 04:50:49,840
 public hearing. Commissioner Ellis. I move approval and I appreciate the thorough

3308
04:50:49,840 --> 04:50:57,200
 presentations today. Thank you all. Commissioner Beck. I second. We have a first and a second

3309
04:50:57,200 --> 04:51:06,120
 for approval. Were there any, there were conditions on that. Do we need to specify? Yes. Commissioner

3310
04:51:06,120 --> 04:51:12,280
 Ellis, you're good with conditions. Absolutely. And I'll second those conditions. Yes. Or

3311
04:51:12,280 --> 04:51:19,800
 have recommendations. Thanks for that clarification. Is there any discussion on this item? Seeing

3312
04:51:19,800 --> 04:51:25,120
 none, I can definitely call for a vote via roll call. And before I do that, I'll just

3313
04:51:25,120 --> 04:51:30,240
 say, well done. This is a great improvement to the original project. So thank you for

3314
04:51:30,240 --> 04:51:35,680
 taking the time and the diligence to update and improve that site. I'm excited to see

3315
04:51:35,680 --> 04:51:42,400
 construction start. The roll call begins with Commissioner Beck. Aye. Commissioner Ellis.

3316
04:51:42,400 --> 04:51:51,160
 Aye. Commissioner Anderson. Aye. Commissioner Cole. Aye. Commissioner Pernetta. Aye. Commissioner

3317
04:51:51,160 --> 04:51:58,320
 Smith. Aye. Chair is also an aye. Motion carries seven zero. Congratulations. That moves us

3318
04:51:58,320 --> 04:52:03,920
 to our concluding item for this evening. That is the project matrix. I will turn over the

3319
04:52:03,920 --> 04:52:14,840
 floor to Richard to begin and then open it to the commissioners to add or question. Just

3320
04:52:14,840 --> 04:52:21,400
 a brief update. Wanted to bring up, I guess, the start time for next, our next meeting

3321
04:52:21,400 --> 04:52:27,760
 on the 21st. We do have the gas well work session item that we're planning to bring

3322
04:52:27,760 --> 04:52:34,400
 forward. In addition, I did speak to Gary Packin today. So they'll be presenting the

3323
04:52:34,400 --> 04:52:42,840
 Parks Trails Master Plan at that same day. I think currently we have about, I think,

3324
04:52:42,840 --> 04:52:47,120
 four public hearings on the agenda. Plats, I'm not sure how many we'll have. I don't

3325
04:52:47,120 --> 04:52:52,160
 know that we'll have as many as we had tonight. But I'm sure there'll be a number of plats.

3326
04:52:52,160 --> 04:52:57,320
 And so just wanted to, I don't know that we need an answer tonight, but to think about

3327
04:52:57,320 --> 04:53:02,680
 another 3.30 or 4 o'clock start time, just given those two work sessions and some of

3328
04:53:02,680 --> 04:53:10,520
 the other items. That's really all I had with respect to the update on the matrix. We have

3329
04:53:10,520 --> 04:53:16,400
 not had any council items since our last meeting. We had sort of a little break there in between.

3330
04:53:16,400 --> 04:53:22,320
 The only other thing I will mention, I know there were a number of questions, some very

3331
04:53:22,320 --> 04:53:28,320
 detailed questions, that staff couldn't answer. And I just want to make sure that everyone

3332
04:53:28,320 --> 04:53:34,880
 understands. We want to be a resource for you to make those decisions. Unfortunately,

3333
04:53:34,880 --> 04:53:40,360
 we can't have every single person here. Just to give you an idea, from preliminary plat

3334
04:53:40,360 --> 04:53:49,520
 through final plat through pre-con, there might be 15 to 20 different reviewers and

3335
04:53:49,520 --> 04:53:54,820
 disciplines that look at that. So if there are very specific questions, understand things

3336
04:53:54,820 --> 04:53:59,800
 come up at the meeting. But let us know ahead of time, we'll make sure that we can get you

3337
04:53:59,800 --> 04:54:07,560
 those answers before the meeting. Or if need be, have that person here to answer those

3338
04:54:07,560 --> 04:54:13,280
 questions. So just wanted to bring that up again. That's all I had.

3339
04:54:13,280 --> 04:54:20,080
 >> Great. Thank you for the updates. Does anyone have anything, Commissioner Smith?

3340
04:54:20,080 --> 04:54:25,040
 >> Thank you, Chair. Richard, just one thing on this. I've seen it a couple of times. The

3341
04:54:25,040 --> 04:54:31,120
 first couple of times, it didn't really mind too much. But we started getting to applicant

3342
04:54:31,120 --> 04:54:35,440
 presentations. And they're essentially another 15-minute presentation about what we've already

3343
04:54:35,440 --> 04:54:42,200
 seen with staff. And then we see that presentation also in work session. And I don't really know

3344
04:54:42,200 --> 04:54:47,320
 what the direction is more than anything else. I'm just saying that if there isn't substantive

3345
04:54:47,320 --> 04:54:56,880
 additions to the overall project, they're being added by the applicant's presentation.

3346
04:54:56,880 --> 04:55:02,040
 Maybe ask if city staff can maybe try to limit down some things that they have in there.

3347
04:55:02,040 --> 04:55:09,560
 Of course, the elevation and the facade stuff and all those kinds of things, those are totally

3348
04:55:09,560 --> 04:55:12,640
 things that are not usually in staff presentations that we'd love to see in some of the line

3349
04:55:12,640 --> 04:55:17,640
 of sight things. Of course, they add it in there. But sometimes they just recap the history

3350
04:55:17,640 --> 04:55:21,720
 that we've already gone over a couple of times. So for the sake of length of meetings, I think

3351
04:55:21,720 --> 04:55:25,440
 it might be good. >> We'll certainly pass that on.

3352
04:55:25,440 --> 04:55:28,840
 >> Good. Thanks. >> Christopher Beck.

3353
04:55:28,840 --> 04:55:35,600
 >> I was going to ask a similar but not exactly the same question. And that is I find it really

3354
04:55:35,600 --> 04:55:41,600
 helpful when we see multiple items that have small incremental changes. The staff always

3355
04:55:41,600 --> 04:55:48,240
 puts up in the presentation this is the small incremental change. And sometimes we see that

3356
04:55:48,240 --> 04:55:54,520
 in our backup and in our materials. And sometimes we don't. Sometimes it's just in the presentation.

3357
04:55:54,520 --> 04:56:01,760
 And so it would be helpful if those could be included in some way once the materials

3358
04:56:01,760 --> 04:56:06,680
 are made available to the commission, I would appreciate that. It would be helpful.

3359
04:56:06,680 --> 04:56:16,280
 >> Okay. Certainly. >> Any other items for the matrix?

3360
04:56:16,280 --> 04:56:20,400
 The only thing that I would say, Richard, this is probably embedded into the discussion

3361
04:56:20,400 --> 04:56:29,840
 is the earlier advancement on scheduling DCRC, the better. So I can prioritize it on my calendar

3362
04:56:29,840 --> 04:56:37,440
 and other commissioners as well. But I'm sure Ron and team is on top of that.

3363
04:56:37,440 --> 04:56:41,480
 >> We've already had a number of emails going back and forth this evening.

3364
04:56:41,480 --> 04:56:46,360
 >> Perfect. Well, seeing no other discussion items, thank you everyone. Thank you everyone

3365
04:56:46,360 --> 04:56:51,480
 for a great meeting. I will close it at 919. >> God bless Eddie Van Halen.
