JUNE 27TH IS PTSD AWARENESS DAY.
SOME 15 MILLION AMERICANS SUFFER FROM PTSD.
POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER IS SYMPTOMS THAT PEOPLE SUFFER AFTER WITNESSING THE TRAUMATIC EVENT, DEATH OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
IT'S NORMAL AFTER AN EVENT LIKE THAT TO GO THROUGH PERIODS OF SLEEPLESSNESS, RESTLESSNESS, ANXIETY, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.
BUT NORMALLY, THOSE SYMPTOMS GO AWAY AFTER MONTHS OR SOMETIMES EVEN WEEKS OR YEARS.
PTSD, HOWEVER, IS A DISORDER THAT YOU NEVER RECOVER FROM.
YOU WILL LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT, BUT THE REST OF YOUR LIFE YOU WILL GO THROUGH THINGS THAT REMIND YOU OF AN EVENT.
THERE'S NEARLY 15 PERCENT OF ALL COMBAT VETERANS SUFFER FROM IT, IN ABOUT FOUR PERCENT OF ALL MEN WILL SOMETIME SUFFER PTSD, AND NEARLY EIGHT PERCENT OF ALL WOMEN WILL SUFFER PTSD.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO REMIND YOU THAT JUNE IS PTSD AWARENESS MONTH.
IF YOU NEED HELP, THERE ARE HELP AVAILABLE.
IF YOU'RE VETERAN CONTACT THE VA.
IF YOU'RE NOT A VETERAN, CONTACT 1-800-662-HELP, THAT'S 1-800-662-4357.
THERE'S A LOT OF HELP OUT THERE. YOU'RE NOT IN IT ALONE.
GET HELP. CALL SOMEBODY. THANK YOU, MAYOR.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN. COUNCILMAN CARVER.
>> ELDEN, THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT.
I KNOW MANY PARENTS AND A WHOLE LOT OF CHILDREN WILL BE GLAD TO KNOW THAT THE SPLASH PAD IS INTENDED TO REOPEN JULY 1ST.
THAT'S ALSO GOING TO BE A REALLY FUN DAY, BECAUSE WE'RE DOING BOOTS AND BOOMS THAT EVENING.
OUR OWN COUNCILMAN KEVIN TOTEN WILL BE OPENING THIS UP AND THEN MAYOR NATE PIKE WILL LEAD US AS WE DO THE FIREWORKS.
>> THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE, COUNCIL? GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM 5,
[5. Work Session]
WORK SESSION DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION REGARDING PROPOSED UPDATES TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE. MR. ALTOBELLI.>> THANK YOU, MAYOR, COMMISSION, COUNCIL.
ROSS ALTOBELLI, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
[00:10:03]
YOU'RE ALL AWARE, THE CITY HIRED FREESE AND NICHOLS BACK IN MARCH OF 2022 TO ASSIST STAFF IN UPDATING OUR PLANNING DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.THOSE INCLUDE OUR SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE, OUR ZONING ORDINANCE, OUR SIGNAGE ORDINANCE.
WE HAVE FREESE AND NICHOLS WITH US THIS EVENING TO GO OVER SOME OF THOSE CHANGES THAT THEY'VE WORKED CLOSELY WITH US.
SOME OF THESE CHANGES INCLUDE MODERNIZING THE FORMAT, INCLUDING ADDITIONAL GRAPHICS AS WELL AS HYPERLINKS, CREATING NEW ZONING DISTRICTS FOR OUR DOWNTOWN, FOR OUR DISTRICTS ALONG 75 AND 121.
ALSO, INCLUDE NEW AND IMPROVED DEFINITIONS TO MEET TODAY'S STANDARDS.
OUR REGULATIONS ARE A HODGEPODGE OF REGULATIONS THAT WERE ADOPTED FROM OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT WORKED WELL.
HOWEVER, WE FELT AT THIS TIME IT WOULD BE BEST TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT, A THOROUGH LOOK AT THE REGULATIONS, AND UPDATE THOSE AND MODERNIZE THOSE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT WE JUST RECENTLY ADOPTED.
WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, WE HAVE WITH US THIS EVENING DANIEL HARRISON AS WELL AS REESE WILSON WITH FREESE AND NICHOLS TO GO OVER SOME OF THESE CHANGES.
I HIGHLY ASKED THAT YOU ASK QUESTIONS IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THE GOAL AND THE INTENT IS TO BRING THIS FORWARD IN AUGUST IF THIS EVENING GOES WELL, WHERE WE WOULD THEN ADOPT THE ZONING ORDINANCE.
THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE WOULD FOLLOW SHORTLY THEREAFTER, AS WELL AS THE SIGNAGE ORDINANCE WOULD FALL SHORTLY THEREAFTER.
ABOUT THAT, I INTRODUCE DANIEL HARRISON.
>> THANK YOU, ROSS, COUNCIL, P&Z.
APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME HERE TONIGHT AND TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE ZONING ORDINANCE.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH STAFF TO REWRITE THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO REAL QUICKLY IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES OR LESS IS TO WALK YOU THROUGH WHAT WE'VE UPDATED.
SO ONCE AGAIN, MY NAME IS DANIEL HARRISON.
I AM A PLANNER. I WORKED FOR FREESE NICHOLS.
WHAT WE DO IS WE WORK FOR CITIES AND COUNTIES DOING CONFERENCE OF PLANS, AND THEN ALSO DOING ZONING ORDINANCES, SUBDIVISION ORDINANCES, ALL TYPE OF CODE DEVELOPMENT.
SO REALLY TAKING PLANS AND IMPLEMENTING THEM INTO CODES IS WHAT WE DO.
WITH ME TONIGHT IS RHYS WILSON.
WE ALSO HAVE ERICA CRAYCRAFT ON OUR TEAM AND OTHER MEMBERS ON OUR TEAM THAT AREN'T HERE TONIGHT, BUT HAVE BEEN MEMBERS OF THE TEAM.
WILL TOUCH A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SCHEDULE WHERE WE ARE.
ROSS ALREADY ALLUDED TO WHERE WE'RE GOING.
WE'LL GO OVER THE ZONING ORDINANCE, THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT NEXT STEPS.
WHAT DO WE DO AFTER TONIGHT? ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE AS WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS, LET US KNOW.
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS AFTER TONIGHT, YOU CAN REACH OUT TO ROSS AND THEN WE'LL GET TOGETHER AND ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.
SO A LITTLE BIT ON THE SCHEDULE.
WE'VE REALLY HAD THIS IN FIVE DIFFERENT PHASES.
WE DID A DIAGNOSTIC REPORT WHERE WE TOOK A LOOK AT THE ZONING, SIGNS, THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCES, AND WE'RE TAKING A LOOK AT WHAT WERE SOME OF THE KEY ISSUES THAT WE KNOW WE NEEDED TO ADDRESS, AND WE'VE GONE THROUGH THAT.
WE'VE DEVELOPED THE ZONING ORDINANCE, GONE THROUGH DIFFERENT DRAFTS WITH STAFF.
WE TACKLE USES AND STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES ALL IN DIFFERENT SECTIONS AS WE UPDATE THAT.
WE'VE UPDATED THE SIGN REGULATIONS.
WE HAVE A DRAFT COURSE. WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT TONIGHT, BUT WE HAVE A DRAFT THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH STAFF.
WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS AND WE'LL HAVE A DRAFT FOR STAFF HERE VERY SHORTLY.
THEN GOING THROUGH THE ADOPTION PROCESS AS ROSS MENTIONED, LOOKING AT ADOPTION IN AUGUST AROUND THAT TIME, IF THINGS GO WELL, IF YOUR QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED, OF COURSE, IF THERE'S OTHER THINGS YOU WANT US TO TAKE A LOOK AT OR REVISING THE ZONING, WE'RE HAPPY TO DO THAT.
SO A LITTLE BIT REVIEW, LIKE A TOP TEN LISTS, AND ROSS MENTIONED SOME OF THESE.
WE WERE LOOKING AT MODERNIZING THE FORMAT BECAUSE WE'RE THINKING ABOUT, WHEN A CITIZEN IS GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE ZONING ORDINANCE, HOW ARE THEY GOING TO LOOK AT THIS? THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO FIND INFORMATION THAT RELATES TO THEIR PROPERTY OR A DEVELOPER LOOKING AT THIS, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN FIND THAT INFORMATION CLEARLY.
BECAUSE IF WE CAN COMMUNICATE THAT CLEARLY WHEN THEY COME TO STAFF WITH QUESTIONS AND WE'VE SOLVED SOME OF THESE THINGS, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO WITH BEING MODERN AS FAR AS OUR FORMAT.
SAME LINES WHEN WE TALK ABOUT IMPROVING GRAPHICS, THAT THERE'S WAYS THAT WE CAN COMMUNICATE THINGS GRAPHICALLY TO PEOPLE, THAT REALLY HELPS THAT SINK IN.
THAT'S ONE WAY TO COMMUNICATE THIS INFORMATION.
THAT'S OFTEN A TECHNICAL IN A SENSE THAT THEY'RE QUICKLY TRYING TO IDENTIFY WHAT THEY NEED TO KNOW AND THESE ARE WAYS THAT WE CAN DO THAT.
WE ALSO REDUCE THE LESS TECHNICAL JARGON THAT YOU SEE IN THERE.
JUST MORE PLAIN SPEAK SO PEOPLE CAN INTERPRET THAT.
[00:15:01]
WE MENTIONED THE TWO NEW ZONING DISTRICTS FOR DOWNTOWN AND THE MIXED-USE DISTRICT.THESE ARE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THINGS IN THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN AND ALSO THE NEW DOWNTOWN PLAN.
WE CONSOLIDATE AND REVISE ZONING DISTRICTS.
WE MADE THINGS A LITTLE BIT SIMPLER.
THERE'S SOME UNDERUTILIZED DISTRICTS, SO WE WERE COMBINING THOSE.
SO WE'VE REDUCED THE OVERALL NUMBER OF ZONING DISTRICTS.
WE'LL SHOW YOU WHAT THE USE TABLE LOOKS LIKE.
SO THAT'S GOING TO BE A VERY CRITICAL PART OF THE ZONING ORDINANCES.
PEOPLE FIGURE OUT WHAT'S ALLOWED IN WHAT DISTRICT, WHAT'S THE PARKING REGULATION THAT GOES ALONG WITH THIS TYPE OF USE? ALL THAT STUFF WE'LL SHOW YOU THAT HERE IN JUST A SECOND.
IMPROVED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.
TAKING A LOOK AT WHAT THINGS CAN WE DO TO IMPROVE LANDSCAPING OR OTHER TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AS WE GO ALONG THE PROCESS LOOKING AT STREAMLINING AND THE PROCESS WILL TALK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT WE MADE TO THINK OF WAYS THAT WE CAN STREAMLINE THE DEVELOPMENT.
REVIEW PROCESS WE EXPANDED NON-CONFORMITIES AND ENFORCEMENT PROVISIONS.
I'LL EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT A NONCONFORMITY IS LATER IN THE PRESENTATION.
LOOKING AT THE DEFINITIONS, HOW WE REVISE THE DEFINITIONS? WE PROVIDED NEW DEFINITIONS AND ALSO GRAPHICS WHERE WE NEEDED TO SUPPORT THAT CONCEPT IN A DEFINITION.
SO LOOKING AT THE ZONING ORDINANCE, OVERALL, WE HAVE 10 SECTIONS: GENERAL PROVISIONS, YOU WON'T HAVE TO SPEND MUCH TIME IN THERE.
IT'S VERY SHORT, IT'S JUST REALLY ESTABLISHING THE REGULATIONS.
SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ALL OUR ZONING DISTRICTS LISTED.
THEN WE HAVE OUR USES WITH OUR USE CHART, OUR DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.
WE GO THROUGH OUR DIFFERENT PROCEDURES, TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT NONCONFORMITY.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOMETHING DOESN'T CONFORM ITS EXISTING BUT DOESN'T CONFORM? HOW DO WE TREAT THAT BECAUSE THAT HAPPENS A LOT? ENFORCEMENT. DECISION-MAKING BODIES. LEGAL PROVISIONS.
TESTS A LITTLE BIT ON GENERAL PROVISIONS.
THERE'S NOT TOO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT IN THERE, BUT SECTION WE NEED TO HAVE.
MOVING ON TO OUR ZONING DISTRICTS.
WHAT WE DID IS WE REVISE THE ZONING DISTRICTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN YOUR ZONING ORDINANCE.
WE REDUCE THE NUMBER OF ZONING DISTRICTS, FROM 27 DOWN TO 18 DISTRICTS.
SO THAT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE MANAGEABLE.
WE HAVE AN EQUIVALENCY TABLE, SO YOU CAN SEE HOW WE COLLAPSED THOSE DISTRICTS IN THERE.
WHEN YOU GO TO THIS SECTION, EACH ONE OF THE DISTRICTS WILL BE LISTED AND YOU'LL HAVE A PURPOSE STATEMENT THAT EXPLAINS WHAT THIS DISTRICT IS FOR.
IF I'M A RESIDENT OR A DEVELOPER, I CAN LOOK AT MY PURPOSE STATEMENT TO SAY, DOES THIS MEET MY INTENT? WE HAVE CROSS-REFERENCES SO PEOPLE CAN JUMP TO THE USE CHART OR TO OTHER SECTIONS OF THE CODE THAT'LL BE USEFUL FOR THEM.
WE HAVE OUR DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS AS WELL, A TABLE THAT PEOPLE WILL KNOW WHAT THEIR SETBACKS.
WE'LL LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE HERE IN JUST A SECOND.
ANY TYPE OF SPECIAL REGULATIONS AS NEEDED.
ONE THING WE DID WANT TO MENTION IS WE DID ELIMINATE THE HOUSE SIZE REQUIREMENT TO REDUCE ANY TYPE OF LEGAL CONCERNS.
WE'VE HAD SEVERAL COMMUNITIES CHALLENGED ABOUT HAVING MINIMUM HOUSE SIZES IN THERE.
SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE CHANGES THAT WE JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT.
WE HAVE TAKEN THAT OUT, BUT THAT'S FOR A DISCUSSION IF WE WANTED TO ADD THAT BACK IN.
BUT THE REASON FOR TAKING THAT OUT WAS A LOT OF CITIES ARE CHALLENGED WITH WHETHER IT'S FAIR HOUSING.
EVERYONE KNOWS HOMES ARE MORE EXPENSIVE TODAY THAN THEY WERE A YEAR AGO OR TWO YEARS AGO.
SO IT'S REALLY WHAT THE ZONING ORDINANCE DOING IN HAVING A REQUIREMENT AND HAVING THAT SOMETIMES BE A RISKY THING AS DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES, LIKE I SAID, ARE CHALLENGED ON THEIR REQUIREMENTS.
IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO HAVE? SO WE HAVE TAKEN IT OUT FOR NOW IN THERE.
AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS ALSO THAT THE MARKET CAN HELP DICTATE THOSE SIZES.
SO HERE'S THE EQUIVALENCY TABLE.
YOU CAN SEE, I KNOW THAT'S A LITTLE HARD TO SEE ON YOUR SCREEN, SO I'LL JUST EXPLAIN.
THE LEFT SIDE IS YOUR 27 CURRENT DISTRICTS.
THE MIDDLE IT SAYS NEW ZONING DISTRICTS, THAT'S YOUR NEW 18.
THEN WE JUST HAVE SOME NOTES THERE ON THE SIDE.
TYPICALLY WHEN WE COMBINE DISTRICTS, THERE WAS A LOT OF OVERLAP OR THERE WAS NOT NECESSARILY A LOT OF IT BEING UTILIZED ON THE GROUND RIGHT NOW.
SO WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE MIXED-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT HERE IN JUST A SECOND TO SHOW YOU HOW THAT WORKS.
SO WE HAVE A MIXED-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT, AND THIS HAS TO PROVIDE FOR MEDIUM-DENSITY TO HELP DIVERSIFY, PROVIDE A DIVERSE RANGE OF HOUSING CHOICES.
THIS DISTRICT ENCOURAGES A MIX OF SINGLE-FAMILY AND TWO-FAMILY.
IT WAS REALLY TAKING YOUR PLACE TYPES FROM YOUR CURRENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN, WHEN WE'RE DOING THE ZONING ORDINANCE, WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE CONFERENCE OF PLANS AND SEEING WHAT ARE THE THINGS WE NEED THAT WE CAN TAKE FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND IMPLEMENT THROUGH ZONING.
THOSE ARE A COUPLE OF SCREENSHOTS FROM YOUR CURRENT COMPETENCE PLANS, WHAT WE'RE TO TRYING TO AMEND IN THERE.
ALSO WE'RE TRYING TO DO THIS ALSO TO LESSEN, THE DEMAND FOR A PDS SO PEOPLE COULD COME DO STRAIGHT DOWN AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO COME THROUGH A PD AND HOPEFULLY OUR ZONING IS REALLY
[00:20:03]
PROVIDING AN AVENUE FOR PEOPLE JUST TO COME TO YOU STRAIGHT, STRAIGHT ZONING.HERE'S JUST A LITTLE SNIPPET OF IT.
ONE OF THE THINGS I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT A USE CHART, WE HAVE ALL THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DISTRICTS LISTED AT THE TOP OR USES LISTED ON THE FAR LEFT COLUMN, AND WHAT'S ALLOWED IN THE MIXED-DENSITY.
WE CAN HAVE MODULAR HOMES, MANUFACTURED HOMES, SINGLE-FAMILY-DWELLING, SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLING DETACHED, ATTACHED, AND THEN ALSO DUPLEXES ON THERE.
SO YOU CAN SORT OF SEE WHERE THOSE ARE ALLOWED.
WHAT THAT WAS WAS A COMBINATION OF WE TOOK THOSE FIVES UP CURRENT ZONING DISTRICTS.
IF YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE FOR THE ZERO LOT LINE AND ALL THOSE DIFFERENT DISTRICTS AND WE'RE REALLY PUTTING THAT DOWN INTO ONE DISTRICT AND THOSE USES ARE PERMITTED IN THAT DISTRICT.
SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE WAYS WE WERE ABLE TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF DISTRICTS.
WE DO HAVE A DIMENSIONAL TABLE THAT GOES WITH ALL THESE.
SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE WITHIN THE DISTRICT IS, WHAT ALL THE DIFFERENT SETBACKS ARE.
THEN AT THE VERY BOTTOM SORT OF REFERENCING WHERE THE OTHER STANDARDS ARE.
MOVING ON TO THE COMMERCIAL, WE WERE ALSO ABLE TO COMBINE SOME EXISTING DISTRICTS AS WELL.
WHAT I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT HERE ON THIS SLIDE IS OUR TWO NEW DISTRICTS ARE OUR MIXED-USE DISTRICT.
THAT IS A NEW DISTRICT ONCE AGAIN, IMPLEMENTING COMP PLAN AND DOWNTOWN PLAN ELEMENTS.
WE'LL HIGHLIGHT THAT HERE IN JUST A SECOND.
THEN OF COURSE, OUR DOWNTOWN, WHICH WE HAVE A NEW DISTRICT.
WE HAVE TWO COMPONENTS WITHIN THAT DISTRICT AND THAT REALLY IMPLEMENTS THE DOWNTOWN RECOMMENDATIONS, AND WE HAVE A MAP HERE, I'LL SHOW YOU IN JUST A SECOND.
SO FIRST STARTING WITH THE MIXED-USE DISTRICT, THIS IS ONE OF THE NEW DISTRICTS.
IT'S PROVIDED FOR DEVELOPMENT OUTSIDE OF ANNA'S DOWNTOWN.
SO IT'S MORE THAT MIXED-USE STYLE.
IT IS NOT FOR DOWNTOWN, IT'S FOR THE OTHER AREAS IN DOWNTOWN WHERE WE CAN HAVE STUFF THAT WAS SIMILAR TO DOWNTOWN WHERE IT'S WALKABLE, PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY.
THINGS ARE BUILT CLOSER TO THE STREET, AND WE'D HAVE THIS IN DIFFERENT ELEMENTS.
THE DISTRICT REALLY PROVIDES FOR ENTERTAINMENT VENUES, COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL OFFICES, ALL CO-EXISTING IN A MORE DENSER ENVIRONMENT, BUT IS PEDESTRIAN-ORIENTED.
ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS ONE OF THE PLACE TYPES, THIS IS TAKEN CARE OF THE ENTERTAINMENT CENTER PLACE TYPE IN THE MIXED-USE PLACE TYPE FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
ONCE AGAIN, WE'RE TRYING TO LESSEN THE DEMAND FOR PDS AND THEREBY SPELLING OUT WHAT SHOULD BE BUILT WITHIN THE ZONING DISTRICT.
AND JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT WHAT SOME OF THE USES ARE.
BECAUSE WHEN WE CREATE A NEW DISTRICT OF COURSE, THE QUESTION WILL BE, WHAT'S ALLOWED IN THE DISTRICT? I'M JUST HIGHLIGHTING THE RESIDENTIAL ONES HERE WE HAVE LIVE WORK UNITS IN THERE, MULTIFAMILY, SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLING, ATTACHED, DUPLEXES.
THOSE WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED PERMITTED BY RIGHT.
I HAVE A LITTLE STAR THERE AND TWO ORANGE CIRCLES, SINGLE UNIT DUPLEX, PARK. WE HAVE A SLIDE ON THAT.
I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT THAT IS HERE JUST IN A SECOND.
BUT IT'S A TENSOR TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT, BUT MORE BECKONS CLOSER TO A SINGLE-FAMILY WILL SHOW YOU THAT.
AND THEN TOWNHOME UNIT DEVELOPMENT.
THOSE ARE REQUIRED SUP'S TO MOVE FORWARD ON THERE.
ALSO WITHIN THE MIXED-USE DISTRICT, WE NOW INTRODUCE BUILD-TO-ZONES.
SO THIS IS ONCE AGAIN BRINGING A BUILDING CLOSER TO THE STREET RATHER THAN THE TRADITIONAL SETBACK, WHICH IS JUST SAYING THIS IS HOW FAR YOU NEED TO BE SET BACK FROM THE STREET.
THIS IS BRINGING THE BUILDING CLOSER.
SO WHEN WE BRING THAT BUILDING CLOSER, IT'S NOT THE ENTIRE BUILDING.
THE ENTIRE FRONT IS THAT NEEDS TO BE IN THERE, BUT WE HAVE A PORTION.
IN THIS EXAMPLE HERE IT'S 50 PERCENT.
>> WHEN I WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT SINGLE UNIT DUPLEX OR DUPLEX UNIT PARK.
HERE'S JUST AN EXAMPLE THAT WE HAVE HERE ON THE SCREEN.
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THIS, YOU CAN LOOK AT THAT PICTURE THERE.
THIS IS ALL UNDER ONE PARCEL, SO THIS IS ALL UNDER ONE OWNERSHIP.
THESE ARE NOT INDIVIDUAL LOTS THAT WE HAVE IN THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT SIMILAR TO, IF YOU THINK OF A MANUFACTURED HOME PART, IT'S TYPICALLY ONE OWNER LEASING SPACES.
THIS IS ONE LOT WITH SEVERAL BUILDINGS ON IT.
THERE ARE TYPICALLY MULTIPLE DETACHED RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNITS.
ONCE AGAIN, THIS WOULD BE PERMITTED IN THE MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT BUT AN SUP AND MIXED-USE DISTRICT.
THIS IS JUST A HOUSING TREND THAT WE'RE SEEING HERE IN THE AREA, AND JUST A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES OF HOW THAT WOULD LOOK.
MOVING ON TO DOWNTOWN, THE OTHER NEW DISTRICT THAT WAS CREATED.
ONCE AGAIN, IMPLEMENTING THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN, FACILITATING PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY, MIXED-USE INFILL TYPE DEVELOPMENT.
HAVING PEOPLE OUT THERE FOR DIFFERENT PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITIES, WALKING TO RESTAURANT OR WALKING TO DIFFERENT COMMERCIAL USES.
[00:25:02]
THIS IS ALSO ALLOWING FOR SOME FLEXIBILITY AND DESIGN IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.WE OF COURSE WANT TO CREATE AN ATTRACTIVE AND FUNCTIONAL DOWNTOWN AND REFLECTING ON THE HISTORIC NATURE OF DOWNTOWN.
IN THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN, THERE'S TWO PARTS AND THOSE ARE ECHOED IN THE ZONING DISTRICT WHERE WE HAVE THE CORE OF DOWNTOWN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD DISTRICT THAT SURROUNDS THAT CORE.
THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE WHEN WE GET TO OUR USE CHART, WE TREAT THOSE AREAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY.
WHEN WE'RE DOWN INTO THE CORE AREA OF DOWNTOWN, WE HAVE LIVE WORK UNITS AS REALLY THE PERMITTED USE FOR RESIDENTIAL IN THERE.
THEN OF COURSE, WHEN WE GET TO THE NEIGHBOR OR THE SURROUNDING AREA WE STILL HAVE LIVE-WORK UNITS, BUT BROADENING THE CATEGORIES FOR SINGLE-FAMILY, ATTACHED OR DETACHED OR MULTIFAMILY OR DUPLEXES AS WELL, HAVING THOSE DIFFERENT HOUSING OPTIONS IN THERE.
OTHER INTERESTING WAYS THAT WE IMPLEMENTED THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT IS OF COURSE, ECHOING A MORE FOREIGN-BASED CODE ELEMENT WHEN WE LOOK AT REALLY OUR STREET TYPES, BECAUSE OUR DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN SHOWS US WHAT OUR STREET TYPES WE HAVE TYPE A, TYPE B, TYPE C STREETS.
THE DIFFERENT FRONTAGE REQUIREMENTS WOULD BE DEPENDENT ON WHAT TYPE OF STREET FRONTAGE YOU'RE ON.
THAT ONCE AGAIN, GOES BACK TO IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MASTER PLAN.
ALSO WITH DOWNTOWN CANOPIES, AWNINGS, BALCONIES MAY ENCROACH INTO THAT BILL TO ZONE.
WE WANT TO HAVE THAT ACTIVITY CLOSER TO THE STREET.
WE'VE ALLOWED THE ZONING REGULATIONS TO PERMIT THAT BECAUSE SOMETIMES ZONING REGULATIONS WOULD PROHIBIT ENCROACHMENT.
ANY PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT MORE THAN 42 FEET IN HEIGHT DOES NEED TO GET A SUP ON THERE SO COME BEFORE YOU.
WHEN WE MOVE ON TO THE OTHER ZONING DISTRICTS THAT WE HAVE.
WE TALKED ABOUT INDUSTRIAL, WE KEPT THESE DISTRICTS THE SAME AS FAR AS THESE CORE DISTRICTS.
OUR SPECIAL DISTRICTS, WE DID ADD ON THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT OF MINIMUM LOT SIZE OR MINIMUM DEVELOPMENT SIZE SO YOU NEED AT LEAST FIVE CONTINUOUS ACRES TO DO A PD MOVING FORWARD.
THAT WOULD PROHIBIT SOMEONE IF THEY JUST HAVE ONE ACRE COMING IN AND TRYING TO DO A PD.
BECAUSE THOSE PDS ARE REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE AN INTEGRATED, UNIQUE TYPE OF CONCEPT TO BE IMPLEMENTED.
WE JUST DON'T WANT THE PD BEING A PROCESS WHERE PEOPLE TRY TO GET THEIR OWN VARIANCES OR JUST TRY TO GO AROUND THE ZONING REGULATIONS.
THE ZONING DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS, ONCE AGAIN, WE ARE TRYING TO ADD GRAPHICS IN THERE TO HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT CLEARER.
WE HAVE ALL OF OUR GRAPHICS LISTED AND WITH OUR TABLES AND SO PEOPLE CAN GO THROUGH AND SEE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT LOT WIDTH.
WE'LL HAVE NICE GRAPHICS SO PEOPLE CAN SEE AND UNDERSTAND HOW THEIR LOT WIDTH WILL WORK, SAME WITH THEIR LOT DEPTHS.
THESE DIFFERENT WAYS THAT PEOPLE CAN REALLY START TO SEE, THESE ARE HOW REALLY JUST LOOK UP MY LETTER HERE AND SEE WHAT MY MINIMUM FRONT YARD WILL BE.
IT JUST HELPS THE BRAIN CONCEPTUALIZE WHAT'S GOING ON RATHER THAN JUST LEAVE IT IN A TABLE.
WE HAVE SIDE YARDS AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE CORNER SIDE YARDS, WHICH IS NEXT TO A STREET.
BUT ONCE AGAIN, ALL THAT'S REALLY EXPLAINED IN THE ILLUSTRATION.
MOVING ON TO DIVISION 3, WE HAVE THE USES.
WE ORGANIZED THE USES AND INTO DIFFERENT SECTIONS.
THERE'S DIFFERENT CATEGORIES SO YOU HAVE YOUR RESIDENTIAL TYPE USES, YOU HAVE YOUR AUTOMOTIVE TYPE USES, YOU HAVE YOUR RECREATIONAL TYPE USES.
WE HAVE THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES, ALL THIS IS ESTABLISHING THE USE TABLE.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT EASIER IF I'M DOING RESIDENTIAL, YOU KNOW WHERE TO GO LOOK.
WE'VE ESTABLISHED MINIMUM PARKING RATIOS.
THEN ALSO WE HAVE A LINK TO WHERE SOMEONE COULD FIND THEIR SPECIFIC REGULATIONS FOR THAT USE.
IF WE TAKE A LOOK AT OUR USE CHART AT THE TOP, WE HAVE DEFINITIONS FOR EVERYTHING IN THERE.
ONCE YOU LOOK AT THAT, YOU CLICK ON THAT AND YOU CAN GO TO THAT DEFINITION TO SEE WHAT AUTO REPAIR LIGHT IS.
WE CAN CLEARLY SEE WHERE THOSE ARE ALLOWED, WHETHER THEY'RE PERMITTED BY RIGHT OR PERMITTED BY SUP.
IF THERE'S NO LETTER THERE, IT IS NOT ALLOWED.
IF WE HAVE SPECIFIC STANDARDS SOMEONE COULD SAY, I HAVE SOME SPECIFIC STANDARDS.
IF I'M TRYING TO DO THIS USE I CAN CLICK ON THAT AND SEE WHAT THAT IS AND THEN OUR PARKING STANDARDS SO THAT REALLY TAKES CARE OF ALL OUR USES MOVING FORWARD.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT USES AND THIS IS OF COURSE, FOR DISCUSSION LATER TOO.
WE DID REMOVE THE SECTION DEALING WITH SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES BECAUSE THAT WAS A USE THAT WE HAD IN THERE.
WHAT WE DID WITH THAT WAS THE CURRENT REGULATIONS HAVE A SECTION FOR THAT.
REALLY WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS SAYING, WE'RE POINTING TO THE TABC THE REGULATIONS SAYING REFERENCING HERE ARE THE STANDARDS.
[00:30:06]
WHAT WE CAN DO OF COURSE, IS KEEP THAT IN THERE.IF THAT SOUNDED LIKE THAT WAS NOT WHAT WE WANTED TO DO.
THE EFFORT IS JUST TO HELP SHORTEN.
IF THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN REFERENCE RATHER THAN HAVING IT IN THE CODE, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH HAVING IT IN THE CODE, BUT THAT WAS JUST ONE WAY THAT WE WERE TRYING TO SAY CAN WE POINT TO JUST THE STATE REGULATIONS AND SAY THAT, BUT THAT IS WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO WITH THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.
THAT'S WHY WE HAD REMOVED THAT, BUT WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT LATER.
WE DID ADD A SECTION FOR COMMERCIAL ANTENNAS AND SUPPORT STRUCTURES, SO GOING THROUGH THE DIAGNOSTIC PROCESS, WE WERE TAKING A LOOK AT WHAT OUR CURRENT STANDARDS ARE OR WHAT SOME SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES ARE DOING AS FAR AS REGULATIONS FOR THESE ANTENNAS AND DIFFERENT TYPES OF THINGS, WHAT THOSE TYPE OF SETBACK SHOULD BE.
WE DID ADD A SECTION FOR THERE.
OUTDOOR STORAGE AND DISPLAY, OUTSIDE DISPLAY.
IF YOU GO TO A SHOP AND THEY WILL OUT THE CLOTHES ON A CLOTHES LINE OR A RACK AND PUT IT OUT THERE.
THIS WOULD BE THE AREA FOR OUTSIDE DISPLAY.
THEY TYPICALLY TAKE IT IN AT NIGHT.
WE HAVE SOME STANDARDS FOR THOSE AS WELL.
FIVE PERCENT OF THE TOTAL LOT AREA OR 20 PERCENT OF THE BUILDING GROSS AREA.
WE HAVE SOME PLACES WHERE THAT COULD BE.
YOU GOT TO HAVE THAT SIX-FOOT WIDE WALKWAY STILL FOR PEOPLE TO GET TO AND FROM THE BUILDING CAN'T TAKE UP THE WHOLE SIDEWALK.
WE ALSO HAVE OUTDOOR STORAGE AND THIS IS WHERE YOU'D HAVE MORE IF IT WAS A HARDWARE STORE, THIS IS WHERE THEY'D HAVE THE DEER BLINDS AND ALL THIS STUFF STORED OUTSIDE THOSE TYPES OF STANDARDS WE HAVE IN THERE AS WELL.
WE TALKED ABOUT DIFFERENT RESIDENTIAL SETBACKS FOR RESIDENTIAL, FOR SOME THINGS THAT RESIDENTIAL USERS TYPICALLY WANT SETBACKS FROM CAR WASHES, FUEL PUMPS, THESE TYPE OF THINGS.
WE HAVE SERVICE BAYS THAT ARE ADJACENT NEED TO BE POINTED AWAY.
THOSE TYPES OF ELEMENTS THAT WE HAVE IN THERE.
FUEL PUMPS, THEY ARE ALSO TREATED AS AN ACCESSORY USE IN THE USE CHART BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU WILL HAVE THEM WITH THE GROCERY STORE, SOMETIMES YOU'LL HAVE THEM WITH THE CONVENIENCE STORE, SOMETIMES YOU WON'T HAVE THEM WITH THE CONVENIENCE STORE.
WE TREAT THOSE AS AN ACCESSORY IN THE USE CHART.
ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANT TO HIGHLIGHT HERE, JUST AUTO REPAIR HEAVY.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE JUST HAVE IN THE INDUSTRIAL AREA.
ALL THESE TYPES OF USES NEED TO BE IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE INDUSTRIAL HEAVY HAPPENING IN AN ENCLOSED FACILITY, WE DON'T WANT THAT HAPPENING ON THE OUTSIDE JUST BECAUSE OF THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS THAT CAN HAVE ON THE SURROUNDING AREA.
WE DID ADD STANDARDS IN THERE FOR NEW FOOD TRUCK PARK.
IF THERE WAS GOING TO BE A FOOD TRUCK PARK AS A BUSINESS THAT WOULD COME IN DIFFERENT STANDARDS FOR HOW THAT WOULD LOOK AND OPERATE.
THIS IS A POPULAR USE THAT YOU CAN SEE AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.
HOW WOULD THAT LOOK AS FAR AS THE TRUCKS COMING IN, WHAT TYPE OF TRUCKS WOULD BE GOING THERE AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY DO HAVE THEIR HEALTH PERMITS, MAKING SURE WE HAVE ELECTRICAL, WATER, WASTEWATER FACILITIES.
THERE'S RESTROOM FACILITIES THERE AT THIS TYPE OF PARK FACILITY.
DIFFERENT ELEMENTS THAT WE HAVE.
WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT DRIVE-THROUGH'S NOT BEING PERMITTED.
THE WAY THAT THE FOOD TRUCK PARK IS DESIGNED IS IMPORTANT.
WE'VE ADDED THESE STANDARDS IN THERE FOR THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT.
MOVING ON TO MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS, TALKING ABOUT COMMERCIAL USE, SPECIFIC STANDARDS THAT WE'D HAVE IN THERE.
AT LEAST 25 PERCENT OF THE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT CONSISTING OF RETAIL, RESTAURANT, AND OFFICE USES.
OF COURSE, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN A TRUE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT IS OCCURRING THAT WE ARE HAVING OUR RETAIL COMMERCIAL COMPONENT IN THERE.
BECAUSE WHAT CAN HAPPEN SOMETIMES WITH OUR MIXED-USE TYPE DEVELOPMENTS, YOU'LL SEE IN THE AREA IS IT WILL START OFF AS A MIXED-USE CONCEPT, BUT THEN SOMETIMES THAT FIRST FLOOR RETAIL DOESN'T LEASE AND THEN THE OWNER WOULD LIKE TO CONVERT THAT TO ADDITIONAL UNITS.
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE IS SAY THAT WE'RE PREVENTING THAT FROM HAPPENING.
SAYING THAT, NO, THE FIRST FLOOR DOES NEED RETAIL.
WE DO HAVE STANDARDS IN THERE FOR BUILDING ARTICULATION, ROOF TREATMENT WINDOWS, HAVING THAT GROUND FLOOR RETAIL, DIFFERENT ELEMENTS AND AMENITIES.
WE'LL TOUCH ON SOME OF THOSE AS I STAY ON SCHEDULE HERE BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, I KNOW THIS IS A LOT OF INFORMATION.
SORRY WE HAVEN'T HAD TIME FOR QUESTIONS.
SO ON THOSE DIFFERENT SECTIONS RIGHT THERE.
SO BUILDING ARTICULATIONS, OF COURSE, THE DESIGN WHY STATE LAW PREVENTS US FROM REGULATING BUILDING MATERIALS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
THERE'S STILL SOME ELEMENTS OF DESIGN THAT WE'D LIKE TO INCORPORATE IN THERE THAT WE CAN DO.
THE DESIGN OF THE BUILDING IS IMPORTANT IN MIMICKING WHAT MAKES YOU STANDARD YOU'D SEE IN SIMILAR COMMUNITIES.
[00:35:04]
AS FAR AS THE FACADE OFFSETS OR ALSO THE ROOF TREATMENTS AS WELL, WINDOWS, IT'S IMPORTANT AS WHEN WE HAVE A MIXED USE AREA AND THESE RETAIL AREAS PEOPLE CAN SEE AND IT'S JUST NOT A WHOLE BRICK WALL THAT YOU'RE WALKING DOWN BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE A PEDESTRIAN ENVIRONMENT.WINDOWS ARE VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THAT URBAN DESIGN FOR THAT.
THIS IS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT GROUND FLOOR.
THE GROUND FLOOR ON THE FIRST FLOOR MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT IS RESERVED FOR COMMERCIAL LIKE RETAIL, OFFICE, RESTAURANT USES WANT TO HAVE THAT GROUND FLOOR ACTIVITY BE SOMETHING THAT'S NOT RESIDENTIAL IN A TYPICAL MIXED USE BUILDING.
GROUND FLOOR. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE GROUND FLOOR HAVING A MINIMUM CEILING OF 14 FEET SO MORE OF THE COMMERCIAL HAVING THE LARGER GROUND FLOOR.
DIFFERENT ELEMENTS THAT YOU'D HAVE IN THEIR, DIFFERENT ELEVATIONS, DISTINCT DIFFERENT ROOF LINES, SO IT'S JUST NOT NECESSARILY A BOX THAT WE HAVE SOME TYPE OF ARTICULATION AS THERE AS WELL.
WE HAVE SECONDARY ENTRANCES, WE HAVE COVERED ENTRANCES, SO ONCE AGAIN, THERE'S SOME DESIGN ELEMENTS THAT WHEN WE HAVE A MIXED USE THAT WE HAVE COVERED ENTRIES SO SOMEONE CAN ENTER INTO THE BUILDING, IT'S AN ATTRACTIVE PLACE.
BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN, IN OUR MIXED USE AREA, THIS IS ALL ABOUT WALKABILITY AND BEING ATTRACTIVE FOR PEOPLE TO SPEND SOME TIME OUTDOORS, WALK ALONG THE BUILDING, LOOK AT THE SHOPS, LOOK AT THE RETAIL, LOOK AT THE RESTAURANTS.
A DIFFERENT AMENITIES THAT WE CAN INCORPORATE INTO AN OVERALL, WE HAD A MENU CHOICE OF DIFFERENT AMENITIES THAT YOU COULD HAVE IN A MIXED USE TYPE DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE WE'D HAVE ONCE AGAIN, RESIDENTIAL AS PART OF THIS, WHETHER IT'S A SWIMMING POOL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, OR A DOG PARK.
THESE TYPES OF ELEMENTS WE ARE TRYING TO LOOK AT WHAT SOME OTHER COMMUNITIES WE'RE DOING, WHAT IT SOME OTHER SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPS HAVE DONE AND WHAT A DEVELOPER COULD PUT IN THERE FAIRLY, AND THAT WOULD BE ATTRACTIVE TOO AS WE GROW.
RESIDENTS ARE MOVING HERE, WHAT'S GOING TO OFFER THE RESIDENTS A BEST QUALITY OF LIFE THAT WE CAN DO GOING BACK TO THE CONFERENCE AND PLAN THE FUTURE LAND USE.
TALK ABOUT ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AS WELL.
THERE'S AN ALLOWANCE FOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS.
DETACHED ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS ONLY LOCATED IN THE REAR OF THE LOT.
THIS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN THE PRIMARY.
WE DO HAVE A SIZE FOR THIS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN A PRIMARY STRUCTURE, SINCE THIS IS AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
UNITS MUST BE AT LEAST 500 SQUARE FEET.
SOMETIMES WE HAVE PEOPLE LIVE IN A SHED [LAUGHTER]
>> FROM HOME DEPOT, 500 TO 1,000 THAT IS TYPICALLY WHAT WE WOULD SEE AS GOOD QUALITY ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT ON THERE, SO WE DO HAVE A BOTTOM LIMIT AND UPPER LIMIT.
MOVING ON TO SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, WE HAVE 10 DIFFERENT SECTIONS IN HERE.
THE FIRST ONE IS REALLY JUST THE PURPOSE SECTION, SO NINE SECTIONS.
BUT WHEN WE TAKE A LOOK AT OUR DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT OUR DIMENSIONAL REGULATIONS, WE HAVE THINGS FOR HEIGHT, SETBACK AS A BUILDING GETS TALLER AND WE'RE CLOSE TO RESIDENTIAL SEPARATING, HAVING THAT BUILDING STEP BACK TO ALLOW FOR MORE LIGHT.
SO THIS BUILDING'S NOT GOING TO DOMINATE THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IT'S ADJACENT TO.
WE ESTABLISH STANDARDS FOR SINGLE-FAMILY AND BUILT UPON THE CURRENT STANDARDS FOR SINGLE-FAMILY AND TWO-FAMILY, MULTI-FAMILY, TOWN HOME, MIXED USE, NON-RESIDENTIAL, REGULATE THINGS SUCH AS BUILDING ARTICULATION, ROOF TREATMENTS, WINDOWS, AND OTHER ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS, NOT BUILDING MATERIALS, AND THEN OTHER ON-SITE AMENITIES.
PARKING. WE DID LOOK AT PARKING.
WE DID ADD SOME FLEXIBILITY IN THERE SO THERE COULD BE ADJUSTMENT FOR PARKING REDUCTIONS.
WE DEFINITELY DON'T WANT TO OVER PARK AN AREA.
IF THERE'S WAYS THAT IF YOU DON'T NEED THAT PARKING, THAT THOSE COULD BE REDUCED.
YOU CAN HAVE A JOINT PARKING FACILITY WITH A NEIGHBORING BUSINESS.
THAT COULD BE A SMALL CAPTIVE MARKET.
THERE COULD BE OTHER TYPES OF THINGS.
THERE COULD BE ACCESS TO PUBLIC PARKING NEARBY.
SO THERE COULD BE REASONS FOR HAVING A SMALLER AND WE WANT TO PROVIDE THAT FLEXIBILITY.
AND THEN ALSO COUNCIL MAY REDUCE PARKING STANDARDS UP TO 35 PERCENT.
LOOKING AT LANDSCAPING, REALLY MOVING FORWARD, A LOT OF THE LANDSCAPING ELEMENTS THAT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN, PART OF THE PROCESS IS LOOKING AT WHAT IS WORKING WELL.
MOVING FORWARD, A LOT OF THE CURRENT STANDARDS, BUT AS YOU SEE IN THAT CHART, HAVING THOSE BROKEN DOWN BY THE ZONING CATEGORY.
THEN CLARIFIED SOME SCREENING AND FENCING REQUIREMENTS, WHEN THEY APPLY AND WHEN WE'RE DOING OUR SCREENING,
[00:40:02]
ESTABLISHES SOME MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM HEIGHTS FOR OUR DIFFERENT SCREENING ELEMENTS.MOVING ON TO MORE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS, JUST MAKING SURE WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DECIBELS AND PERFORMANCE STANDARDS, WHAT'S BEING EMITTED FROM THE PROPERTY? MOST COMMONLY, SOUND VIBRATIONS, SMOKE, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.
HAVING STANDARDS FOR WHAT WE'RE HAVING AS FAR AS THE AMOUNT OF DECIBELS COMING FROM A PROPERTY.
MOVING ON TO THE PROCEDURES SECTION, SECTION 5, WE ESTABLISH OUR DIFFERENT PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS IN THERE.
WE'VE TRIED TO PUT AS MANY TABLES IN THERE SO YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENT PROCESSES.
WE PROVIDE RELIEF TOOLS LIKE VARIANCES AND INTERPRETATIONS.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANT TO POINT OUT WAS THE APPROVAL PROCESS FOR CONCEPT PLANS, PRELIMINARY SITE PLANS, AND REGULAR SITE PLANS THAT WE HAVE PROPOSED OF THE COUNCIL WOULD NOT HAVE TO BE INVOLVED IN THOSE SITE PLANS.
HOWEVER, THE COUNCIL WOULD STILL BE INVOLVED IF THAT SITE PLAN WAS REQUIRED AS PART OF A REZONING, PART OF A PD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, COUNCIL IS INVOLVED IN THAT PROCESS.
BUT YOU CAN SEE ON THIS TABLE WE ARE HIGHLIGHTING WHO'S THE DECISION MAKING AUTHORITY, WHO CAN APPEAL, LIKE A CONCEPT PLAN COULD BE APPEALED TO COUNCIL.
BUT IN A REGULAR SITUATION, WOULD IT HAVE TO GO TO COUNCIL? COULD THAT BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD NOT HAVE TO GO? SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE TAKING A LOOK AT, BUT THAT'S ONE OF THE BIG ONES THAT WE WANTED TO POINT OUT TO YOU.
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S A CHANGE.
IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD THINK SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA, WE CAN CONTINUE TO PROCEED WITH THAT IDEA IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU THINK NO.
I THINK WE LIKE SEEING ALL THAT.
YES, I KNOW THAT ADDS TO YOUR PLATE, BUT SOMETIMES THAT'S FINE TO ADD TO YOUR PLATE.
BUT THE IDEA IS TO FIND WAYS TO STREAMLINE AND IMPROVE THE PROCESS.
AND IF IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD TAKE OFF COUNCIL'S PLATE AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE BECAUSE IT'S STILL REVIEWED BY STAFF ON THERE.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE SEEN AS AN ADVANTAGE IN THE UPDATE PROCESS.
WE DO HAVE FLOWCHARTS FOR THE DIFFERENT PROCEDURES IN THE DIFFERENT SECTIONS SO YOU COULD SEE HOW IT'S INITIATED, AND COMPLETENESS, STAFF REVIEW, WE HAVE OUR FLOWCHARTS IN THERE.
TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT NONCONFORMITIES.
NONCONFORMITIES HAPPEN WHEN WE UPDATE REGULATIONS.
SO LET'S SAY A SETBACK IS DIFFERENT THAN WHEN A BUILDING WAS ORIGINALLY STARTED AND THE BUILDING WAS BUILT TO THAT SETBACK LINE.
NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BUILDING EXCEPT THAT IT JUST DOESN'T MEET THE CURRENT REGULATIONS.
SO WHEN SOMEONE BUILDS A NEW BUILDING, THEY DO NEED TO MEET THAT SETBACK REGULATIONS.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TEAR DOWN YOUR EXISTING BUILDING AND THERE YOU JUST HAVE A NONCONFORMING BUILDING.
SO WHEN WE HAVE USES, A GOOD EXAMPLE IS A USE.
LET'S SAY IF THERE WAS A RESTAURANT, A SINGLE-FAMILY AREA, THAT WOULD TYPICALLY NOT BE ALLOWED, IT'D BE A NONCONFORMING USE AT RESTAURANTS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE FOR AS LONG AS IT OPERATES.
IF IT GOES AWAY AND FIVE YEARS LATER SOMEONE WANTS TO PUT A RESTAURANT IN THERE, NO, IT NEEDS TO CONFORM.
AS LONG AS THAT USE CONTINUES AND STAYS IN OPERATIONS THAT'S ALLOWED TO CONTINUE.
TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ENFORCEMENT.
OF COURSE, WE ARE STRENGTHENING ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES AND LOOKING AT A SPECIFIED LIST.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS? OF COURSE, WE ALWAYS WANT VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE IS IDEAL.
TALKING ABOUT THE DECISION-MAKING BODIES.
AS YOU'VE SEEN IN THOSE TABLES WE WERE TRYING TO CLEARLY LAY OUT, IS IT STAFF? THE DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR? IS IT CITY COUNCIL? IS IT PLANNING AND ZONING? IS IT A BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT DECISION? AND SO REALLY TRYING TO SUMMARIZE ALL THOSE IN OUR REVIEW BODIES SECTION.
SECTIONS, THERE'S REALLY NOT TOO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT THAT IT'S REALLY MOVING ALL THAT FORWARD AS WELL.
DEFINITIONS. ONCE AGAIN, WE TALKED ABOUT TRYING TO UPDATE ALL THE DEFINITIONS GOING THROUGH ALL THOSE.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT USE CHART, THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR USE DEFINITION SO EVERYTHING IN THE USE CHART IS CLEARLY DEFINED.
THERE WE DEFINED OTHER ELEMENTS THAT AREN'T USE RELATED IN THERE.
WE TALKED ABOUT HEIGHTS, WE TALKED ABOUT, WHAT A LOT IS.
ALL THOSE DIFFERENT TYPES OF OTHER THINGS THAT WE NEED DEFINITIONS FOR.
THAT SORT OF SUMMARIZES THE ZONING ORDINANCE.
WHAT WE WOULD DO FROM TONIGHT IS GET YOUR FEEDBACK.
YOU MAY HAVE A QUESTION THAT COMES UP LATER TONIGHT.
IT WAS LIKE, I SHOULD HAVE ASKED ABOUT THAT.
YOU CAN EMAIL ROSS AND WE'LL GO THROUGH YOUR QUESTIONS AND ROSS WILL SEND YOU A REPLY.
BUT REALLY TRYING TO GAUGE YOUR TEMPERATURE,
[00:45:01]
HOW ARE WE DOING MOVING FORWARD? BECAUSE IF IT'S OKAY WITH YOU, THEN WE'D MOVE FORWARD TO MAKING THIS OPEN FOR THE PUBLIC TO TAKE A LOOK AT BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO REVEAL IT TO THE PUBLIC WITHOUT YOU GUYS BEING ABLE TO TAKE A LOOK.SO THERE'S STILL TIME TO CHANGE IT AFTER TONIGHT, AFTER THE PUBLIC LOOKS AT IT, AFTER WHEN WE BRING IT TO YOU.
THOSE ARE WHAT WE'RE THINKING, AUGUST WOULD POTENTIALLY BRING IT BACK TO YOU.
THEN WITH THAT, WE'LL TURN IT OVER FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT ANYTHING ZONING RELATED OR PROCESS.
>> THANK YOU, APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION.
COUNCIL AND PLANNING AND ZONING, THIS IS YOUR MEETING AND YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE ANY FEEDBACK.
I ACTUALLY HAVE A FEW THOUGHTS MYSELF, BUT I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN IT UP TO ANYONE THAT HAS COMMENTS AT THIS TIME.
>> I HAD ONE. UNDER YOUR DIVISION 8 DECISION MAKING BODIES, 9.04.073 DOESN'T MATCH THE HOME RULE CHARTER.
IT DOESN'T MATCH THE HOME RULE CHARTER.
>> YES. IF THERE'S A TYPO IN THERE, WE CAN DEFINITELY MAKE THAT MATCH.
>> OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS?
>> YES. YOU'RE SAYING YOU WANT TO REMOVE ANY ORDINANCES REGARDING THE SALE OF ALCOHOL. IS THAT WHAT THAT SAID?
>> YOU WANT TO REMOVE ANY ORDINANCES REGARDING THE SALE OF ALCOHOL. IS THAT WHAT THAT SAID?
>> NO. WHAT WE WOULD BE DOING IS REFERENCING THE TABC SEPARATION REQUIREMENTS IN CHAPTER IT'S 190, IT SETS UP IN THE STATES ALCOHOL REGULATIONS, WHAT CITIES CAN DO AS FAR AS THE SEPARATION REQUIREMENTS AND WHAT WE'D BE DOING IS CLARIFYING THAT WHAT WE'RE REMOVING OUT OF THE CURRENT ZONING ORDINANCE IS JUST WHAT WE'RE IMPLEMENTING THROUGH THE TABC AND SAYING HAVING A REFERENCE TO THAT, SAYING THE CITY IS ENFORCING THIS SECTION, AND THAT'S A MATCH.
BUT LIKE I SAID, THAT DOES REQUIRE SOMEONE TO GO AND LOOK AT THAT IF WE WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND KEEP THAT LANGUAGE IN THE TEXT OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE WE CAN DO THAT AS WELL.
>> THIS WAS ONE OF THE SECTIONS IN WHICH STAFFED WANTED TO GET YOUR OPINION ON, BECAUSE THERE ARE MULTIPLE AREAS IN THE CITY, SO THE SEPARATION REQUIREMENT CURRENTLY DOES NOT APPLY IN THE DOWNTOWN ZONING AREAS.
HOWEVER, WE HAVE MULTIPLE PROPERTIES THAT ARE ZONED, [INAUDIBLE] C1 OR C2, THAT HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED AS HARD CORNERS.
HOWEVER, THERE COULD BE SCHOOL THAT'S ADJACENT TO IT.
WE ALSO HAVE MULTIPLE DAY CARES THAT ARE LOCATED INSIDE SOME OF THE STRIP CENTERS WHERE THAT THEN PROHIBITS AND PUT IN THE DISTANCE OR THE SEPARATION REQUIREMENTS THAT THEN LIMITS THESE MULTI-TENANT BUILDINGS, OR POTENTIALLY AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS AREAS FOR A GROCERY STORE.
GROCERY STORE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SELL ALCOHOL ON THE HARD CORNER OF ROSEMOUND AND HACKBERRY, THAT'S VACANT RIGHT NOW NEXT TO SHADOW BAN.
REMOVING THIS REQUIREMENTS STILL REQUIRES THE APP AND GO GET THEIR TABC LICENSING STILL REQUIRES THE CITY SECRETARY TO SIGN OFF ON IT.
IT JUST REMOVES THAT SEPARATION REQUIREMENT RIGHT NOW.
IT'S ONE OF THOSE, I WANT TO SAY OLD BLUE LAWS, BUT IT'S ONE OF THOSE LAWS THAT WERE ESTABLISHED MANY YEARS AGO.
>> I'LL BE HONEST, I WROTE THAT DOWN AS ONE OF MY NOTES ON, I DON'T KNOW THAT I WANT TO LOOSEN THE REQUIREMENTS ON ALCOHOL BEVERAGES.
I THINK THAT'S A DANGEROUS GAME TO PLAY, EVEN ON THE SEPARATION COMPONENT.
JUST PROVIDED MY FEEDBACK, I WOULD RATHER BE A PRETTY STRINGENT REQUIREMENT AND THAT'S JUST MY FEEDBACK.
THE ONLY OTHER QUESTION THAT I HAD IN THIS WAS CLEANING UP ON SOME OF THE MF ZONING ORDINANCE.
IT BASICALLY SOUNDS LIKE ANY MULTI FAMILY DISTRICT OR HIGH DENSITY AREA WOULD BE ALLOWED FOR A BUILD TO RENT PRODUCT, CORRECT?
>> IT WAS ALLOWED IN THE MULTI FAMILY, YES, IT WAS A PERMITTED USE IN THE MULTI-FAMILY.
>> OKAY. I KNOW THAT THIS IS JUST FEEDBACK.
[00:50:02]
ONCE AGAIN, IT'S A PERSONAL THOUGHT VERSUS, OR A PERSONAL OPINION VERSUS WHAT IS REQUIRED.BUT THIS WHOLE BUILD FOR RENT THING IS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL.
I THINK THE MORE THAT WE ALLOW OR MAKE IT EASE FOR USE OF THAT IS A VERY DANGEROUS THING THAT WE'RE PRESENTING TO OUR COMMUNITY FOR THE LONGER TERM.
IT IS A NEW CONCEPT, A COUPLE OF YEARS OLD, GAIN A LOT OF ATTRACTION.
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE 25 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD FOR A COMMUNITY.
SO I DO THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME PRETTY STRONG LANGUAGE IN OUR ORDINANCE REGARDING A BUILD TO RENT PRODUCT, OR JUST BEING ALLOWED TO GO BUILD SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS IN A MULTI-FAMILY DISTRICT.
>> WE CAN DEFINITELY TAKE A LOOK AT, INSTEAD OF HAVING THAT PERMITTED BY RIGHT AND MULTI-FAMILY HAVING THAT SUP.
SO YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND SEE EVERYTHING IN THAT.
I THINK THAT'D BE ONE WAY TO AS THIS IS A NEWER PRODUCT GAUGE EACH PRODUCT ON ITS OWN MERITS AS IT COMES IN TO SEE IF IT'S COMPATIBLE FOR WHERE IT'S GOING.
>> I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT ON THE BUILDING HEIGHTS, MAKING IT MAYBE A LITTLE MORE CLEAR.
FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE MIXED USE DISTRICT, YOU'VE GOT A MAX BUILDING HEIGHT OF 70 FEET.
IS THAT MEASURED FROM THE SLAB TO THE TOP FLOOR, THE PARAPET, THE ROOF, THE HIGHEST ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURE? JUST MAKING IT MAYBE MORE CLEAR TO SEE THAT IN A TABLE.
>> YES. GIVE ME TIME TO GET THOSE NOTES DOWN.
FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY THAT THE LAYOUT OF OUR ORDINANCES IS MUCH IMPROVED VERSUS WHAT IT WAS BEFORE.
A GREAT JOB TO YOU AND YOUR STAFF, AS WELL AS OUR STAFF AND EVERYONE INVOLVED.
IN THE COMMERCIAL SECTION, I HAVE A FEW ITEMS. IT SAYS IN THE INDUSTRIAL 1 AND 2 THAT ADULT ENTERTAINMENT IS ALLOWED OR PERMISSIVE INSTEAD OF SPECIAL REQUIREMENT, I THINK THAT SHOULD ALWAYS BE REQUIRED BY THE CITIES AND NOT BE PERMISSIVE.
>> WHAT USE AGAIN WAS ADAM? I'M SORRY.
>> THIS IS ADULT ENTERTAINMENT CENTER.
>> IT'S LISTED AS P FOR BOTH I1 AND I2.
THAT WOULD BE UNDER THE USE TABLE FOR THIS DIVISION 3, PAGE 40.
ALSO THIS IS A COMPLETE TABLE BECAUSE IT ENDS AT K, BUT I SUSPECT THAT THERE'S MORE.
IT'S ALPHABETICAL, SO IT SUGGESTS THAT THERE'S SOMETHING MISSING.
>> IT MAY BE ON THAT CATEGORY THAT ONE ENDS ON K, ON THERE. BUT WE CAN CHECK.
>> YES, I'D LIKE TO SEE THE WHOLE TABLE IN THE PRESENTATION, PLEASE.
>> WITH THAT, I'M JUST HAD TO WING IT SINCE I CAN'T SEE IT.
IS MANY WAREHOUSES AND STORAGE UNITS CALLED OUT IN THE USAGE? IF SO, IS IT PERMISSIVE OR IS IT REQUIRE APPROVAL?
>> PLEASE CAN YOU LOOK THAT REAL QUICK BECAUSE I'M GOING TO TRY TO SEE IF I COULD.
>> YOU SAID IT WAS ON PAGE 31 OF THE PRESENTATION.
>> THAT'S WHAT I'M SEEING FROM THE ZONING UPDATE MEMORANDUM.
>> I'M LOOKING AT THE PRESENTATION AS WELL, I DON'T SEE IT.
[00:55:02]
>> WHEN WE GET TO THE TABLE, HARD TO SEE ON THAT.
>> JUST FOR THE RECORD, I'M IN AGREEMENT THAT OUR ALCOHOL AND BUILD TO RENT HAS REMAIN RESTRICTED.
>> IT'S SUP-NC2 AND THEN PERMITTED IN LIGHT INDUSTRIAL OR I1 OR THE CELL STORAGE.
>> WHAT ROSS SAYING, WE DO HAVE THE ADDITIONAL USE SPECIFIC STANDARDS THAT GO ALONG WITH THOSE, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN ALSO TAKE A LOOK AT AND SEND YOU THOSE STANDARDS IF YOU'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE.
>> THAT'S ALL I HAVE AT THE MOMENT. ANYTHING ELSE?
>> YEAH, I GUESS FOR THE RECORD, I'M IN AGREEMENT WITH STAFF.
I WOULD SAY WE LIFT THE ALCOHOL.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE NEED TO GO ON THAT.
IF WE HAVE TO HAVE SEPARATE VOTES ON THAT, CAN YOU CLARIFY OTHERS WHO HAVE A SCHEDULE GOALS.
>> DO WE HAVE TO GO BACK AND AMEND CERTAIN PARTS OF YOUR PRESENTATION OR ARE YOU GOING TO EXPECT A VOTE IN AUGUST ON WHAT YOU PRESENTED TONIGHT WITH AMENDMENTS OR HOW DOES THAT WORK MOVING FORWARD?
>> WE CAN WORK THAT A COUPLE OF WAYS AND ROSS AND I CAN COMMUNICATE.
WE CAN GIVE YOU A LITTLE SUMMARY OF THE DISCUSSION THAT WE HAVE TONIGHT.
WE CAN PRESENT TO YOU BACK SOME POSSIBLE CHANGES, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK THROUGH THE ENTIRE ORDINANCE ON THERE.
BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN, THE QUESTION ARE WE CLOSE ENOUGH TO LET THE PUBLIC TAKE A LOOK AT IT? IF THE ANSWER IS NO, WE WANT TO GET THIS DONE 100 PERCENT.
THAT'S COMPLETELY WHERE WE NEED TO GO THERE.
>> SURE. I GUESS MY MAIN QUESTION IS, ROSE OR CLARK DO WE HAVE TO HAVE INDIVIDUAL ITEMS ADDED TO THE FUTURE AGENDA FOR US TO VOTE ON?
>> WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND IS GET A CONSENSUS TONIGHT AS IT RELATES TO THAT SECTION IN PARTICULAR, AS WELL.
>> IT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
>> THAT'S FINE. WHAT WE CAN DO IS WE CAN MAKE SOME CHANGES AND WE'LL PRESENT DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING TWO OPTIONS, AND THEY'LL BE AN OPTION A AND THEN OPTION B.
AS WELL AS WE'LL DO SOMETHING AS IT RELATES TO THE APPROVAL AUTHORITY.
AGAIN, TOUCHING BASE ON THE APPROVAL AUTHORITY AND THE CHANGES TO THAT, THESE ARE ALL CONSENT ITEMS THAT ARE TYPICALLY ON CITY COUNCILS AGENDA, THAT WE'RE JUST STATING THAT IT WOULD JUST BE ULTIMATELY APPROVED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
BUT WE CAN PROVIDE DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR YOU.
THEN, DURING YOUR PUBLIC HEARINGS YOU CAN TAKE VOTES ON THAT AND THAT WILL BE WHAT'S ADOPTED BY THE CITY.
>> YEAH, SO I THINK THAT WOULD BE THE RIGHT THING TO DO ON THE ALCOHOL PART.
THEN IF YOU COULD HAVE A DETAILED PRESENTATION AS TO WHY YOU WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THAT TO STAFF?
>> UNDER THE BREWERY, DISTILLERY INDUSTRIAL.
THAT MEANS THAT A DISTILLERY CAN'T OPEN UP IN A C1 OR C2 AREA?
>> RIGHT NOW WHEN WE LOOK AT THE LIBRARY OR THE DISTILLERY, YES IT'D BE MORE FOR THE INDUSTRIAL AREA.
WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT DIFFERENT STANDARDS FOR A MICRO BREW IF THERE WAS LOOKING AT GALLONS BEING PRODUCED.
>> BUT IT'S BECOMING QUITE POPULAR THING NOW LIKE DISTILLERIES OR HAVE RESTAURANTS IN THEM AND STUFF LIKE THAT, AND BREWERIES AS WELL.
WELL, I CAN PICK A DIFFERENT LOOK AT THAT INSTEAD OF HAVING AN INDUSTRIAL.
>> I NEED TO CLARIFY A LITTLE BIT. A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, WE AMENDED THE CURRENT ZONING ORDINANCE TO INCLUDE A BREWPUB.
DISTILLERY, BREWERY IS GOING TO BE YOUR COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION OF ALCOHOL BEVERAGES.
WHEREAS A BREWPUB IS GOING TO BE, WHERE YOU HAVE A RESTAURANT THAT ALSO BREWS ONSITE.
WE CAN LOOK TO SEE IF YOU WANT TO AMEND THAT SPECIFIC DEFINITION TO INCLUDE DISTILLERY OF SOME SORT TO A CERTAIN EXTENT.
BUT THAT'S WHY IT'S IN THE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS FOR A BREWERY AND DISTILLERY IS BECAUSE THOSE ARE HEAVIER INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION, NOT YOUR LOCAL RESTAURANT.
>> YEAH, I'D BE WILLING TO MEET WITH YOU ON THAT ONE. THANK YOU.
>> ANY OTHER FEEDBACK? STEP HERE AS LONG AS YOU WANT. ANYTHING ELSE?
[01:00:02]
I BELIEVE THAT THE ALCOHOL SHOULD ON D3 SHOULD REMAIN RESTRICTED AS WELL.THAT WAS A LITTLE SHOCKED ME HOW CLOSE.
>> NO MORE QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS? NO. WELL, I MOTION TO ADJOURN. DO I HAVE A SECOND?
>> WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER HERMANN.
ALL IN FAVOR? COMMISSIONER, MARTIN.
>> COUNSEL WE ARE MEETING OF COURSE, REMAINS OPEN.
SO IF WE WANT TO TAKE 2 MINUTES JUST FOR THE P&Z MEMBERS TOO. GET OUT.
WE'LL GET STARTED IMMEDIATELY AGAIN IN 2 MINUTES.
ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEMS 6,
[6. Consent Items]
WHICH IS CONSENT ITEMS. THESE ITEMS CONSIST OF NON-CONTROVERSIAL OR HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS REQUIRED BY LAW.CANCEL ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE PULLED FROM THE CONSENT.
IF NOT, I'LL TAKE A MOTION ON THE CONSENT ITEMS.
>> I'D LIKE YOU TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT ITEMS. I DO WANT TO SAY THAT IT WAS NICE TO SEE, THAT OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT IS DOING GREAT WITH OUR INVESTMENTS, AND ARE OVER BUDGET WITH THE EARNINGS.
>> MOTION BY CARVER, SECOND BY TOTEN AND ALL IN FAVOR?
AND COUNSEL, AS A REMINDER I KNOW WE'RE GETTING ACCUSTOMED TO OUR NEW VOTING SYSTEM, BUT IF YOU COULD PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES ON ONLINE AS WELL THIS EVENING.
>> THAT'S THE POINT, I NEED EVERYBODY TO PRACTICE TO GET UP TO SPEED ON THAT.
>> OKAY, SO WE'RE COMPLETE WITH CONSENT ITEMS. AND IN THE AUDIENCE,
[7. Items for Individual Consideration]
I DO SEE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE HERE REPRESENTING NOT IN B.SO I'M GOING TO PULL IT OUT OF ORDER, BEFORE WE GO BACK TO A ITEM B, UNDER INDIVIDUAL ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION, CONSIDER/DISCUSS/ACTION ON A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH BLOOMFIELD HOMES FOR EMERALD VISTA DEVELOPMENT. MR. GREGSON.
>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. COUNSEL, SO TONIGHT WE HAVE DEVELOPED AN AGREEMENT.
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT MEADOW VISTA.
OH, THERE IT IS RIGHT THERE, BOOM.
GOOD. SO AS YOU KNOW, A BLOOMFIELD HOMES WHAT A GREAT PARTNER TO THE CITY.
THEY WORKED ON SEVERAL GREAT PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.
WE RECENTLY AS YOU RECALL, SOME OF YOU RECALL WE DID THE CRYSTAL PARK SIMILAR AGREEMENT, THAT THERE WAS A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.
SO AGAIN, BLOOMFIELD HAS BEEN A GREAT PARTNER.
SO THEY ARE THE DEVELOPER MEADOW VISTA, WHICH I'LL JUST GO AHEAD AND SHOW YOU THIS MAP HERE.
SOME OF YOU MAY REMEMBER THIS IS ZONE BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2019.
SO THAT'S OBVIOUSLY 75 ON THE WEST HACKBERRY DRIVE, WILL CUT THROUGH THE BASE OF THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY.
WHAT SHE SEES OUT THERE, I BELIEVE IS EVERY POINT TO YOUR EAST IS ANACAPRI, MEGATEL, AND A LITTLE BIT NORTH.
YOU GET UP IN THERE, YOU'RE CLOSE TO D. R. HORTON IN THE WOODS OF LINDSEY PLACE.
SO IT'S A 763 LOT DEVELOPMENT, AND MIXTURE OF 50-60 FOOT LIGHTS.
ONE OF THE KEYS IN THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT, IS THAT IT WILL STRETCH HACKBERRY DRIVE, CONNECTING TO WHERE IT CURRENTLY BUDDY HAYES RIGHT NOW.
AND OBVIOUSLY THEY WILL BE AS A PART OF THIS IN OUR PID FEES.
THEY WILL BUILD AN OFFSITE PORTION THERE BETWEEN THEIR PROPERTY LINE, AND THE BUDDY HAYES BOULEVARD STRETCH.
AND THAT WILL CONNECT IT ALL THE WAY OVER.
SO EVERYONE AT THAT POINT, WILL BE GO ALL THE WAY ACROSS FROM DOWNTOWN TO 75.
SO THAT'S OBVIOUSLY A VERY BIG EAST-WEST CORRIDOR.
THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF RETAIL, AS YOU KNOW OUT THERE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THAT AREA.
SO THAT WILL BE A PART OF THE AGREEMENT, IS THAT A BIG PORTION OF THE PID FEES WILL GO FOR THAT OFFSET PORTION, WHICH IS BIG FOR US TO GET THAT BUILT.
AND THEN ALSO, THEY DO THEIR PORTION THE FOUR LANES.
AGAIN, CUTTING THROUGH THERE TO THE EXISTING PORTION.
THE PRICE POINT, I THINK THAT THEY HAVE RIGHT NOW, I THINK ANYWHERE FROM THE 400 LOW TO 600,000 RANGE.
THE CITY ADDED MENTIONED, THIS CITY WILL RECEIVE APPROXIMATELY 595,000 AND PID FEES,
[01:05:01]
AFTER THE OFFSET AND GIVE OR TAKE THERE.BUT AGAIN, WE SPENT QUITE A BIT OF TIME WITH DREW, AND DON AND JR. ON THIS ONE.
WE THINK AGAIN IT'S GOING TO HELP THE DENSITY.
LOT OF WHAT A NICE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES THEY'RE IN AN AREA WITH, LIKE SAID LINDSEY PLACE AS WELL AS ANACAPRI, MEGATEL.
I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE ON THIS.
>> THANK YOU, JERRY. COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS? BLOOMFIELD HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GREAT PARTNER.
BLOOMFIELD ALWAYS DELIVERS ON THEIR PRODUCT, QUALITY, AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN MY OPINION, AT LEAST ON A COMMUNITY, IF THERE'S NO QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.
>> MOTION BY THE MAYOR. I'VE SECOND BY THE MAYOR PRO TEM. ALL IN FAVOR?
WE'RE GOING TO MOVE BACK TO ITEM A, AND I'M GOING TO EXCUSE MYSELF.
>> ITEM 7 A, CONSIDER/DISCUSS/ ACTION ON A RESOLUTION APPROVING A CHAPTER 380 GRANT AGREEMENT WITH ANACAPRI LAGOON AS OR LLC, JOEY.
THIS IS A PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, THAT WAS APPROVED WITH MEGATEL AS A PART OF THEIR AGREEMENT.
THEY ALSO AGREED TO DO A CHAPTER 380 AGREEMENT, SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE DONE WITH BLOOMFIELD HOMES, FIRST TEXAS HOMES, AND I THINK RIVERSIDE (EAST).
BUT ESSENTIALLY, THEY'RE ABLE TO DIRECT PERMIT HERE FOR SALES TAX FOR CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS.
AND THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A BIG DEAL FOR US, BECAUSE IT BRINGS IN QUITE A BIT OF SALES TAX REVENUE.
WHAT WE WOULD DO IS SPLIT IT UP.
65 PERCENT WILL GO TO THE CITY AND THE 35 PERCENT WILL GO TO THE DEVELOPER.
THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO THEIR AGREEMENTS THAT WE'VE DONE.
I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
>> COUNSEL, ANYTHING? I'LL TAKE A MOTION.
>> A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CARVER, AND A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN BAKER.
>> YES. IT DID NOT SHOW THE ONSCREEN. THERE IT IS.
>> YES. MOTION PASSES. JUST A SECOND.
ITEM 7C CONSIDER DISCUSSED ACTION OF AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF THE [INAUDIBLE] CITY OF ANNA, TEXAS GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS SERIES 2023 LEVYING AN ANNUAL AD VALOREM TAX AND PROVIDING FOR THE SECURITY FOR THE PAYMENT OF SAID BONDS AND PROVEN AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT AND ENACTING OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT.
>> MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THANK YOU.
WE HAD A COMPETITIVE BIDDING SITUATION TODAY FOR OUR 2023 BONDS TO FINISH OFF THE 2021 VOTER-APPROVED BONDS.
THIS WILL PROVIDE THE REMAINDER OF THE MONEY TO FINISH OUR COMMUNITY CENTER LIBRARY AND OUR RECREATIONAL FACILITIES.
ANDRE AYALA FROM HILLTOP SECURITIES IS HERE TO PRESENT THE REALLY GOOD NEWS OF THE OUTCOME OF THAT BID.
>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
I'M ANDRE AYALA WITH HILLTOP SECURITIES, FINANCIAL ADVISOR TO THE CITY.
I'M HERE TO PRESENT THE RESULTS OF THE ISSUANCE PRICING OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS SERIES 2023.
WE TALKED ABOUT THOSE ABOUT A MONTH AGO.
WE STARTED THE PROCESS OF PUTTING THIS TOGETHER LATE IN MAY WITH A GOAL OF HAVING A COMPETITIVE PRICING THIS MORNING.
FIRST OF ALL, I'M PLEASED TO TELL YOU THAT THE CITY OF ANNA'S CREDIT RATING WAS AFFIRMED BY MOODY'S AT A AA2.
I WANT TO CITE A FEW THINGS THAT MOODY'S MENTIONED REGARDING THE CITY'S RATING AND WHY IT IS A AA2 JUST FOR THE COUNCIL, MAYOR, AND COMMUNITY TO UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS.
QUOTING MOODY'S, THEY SAY THAT THE CITY OF ANNA DOES EXHIBIT SOUND FISCAL MANAGEMENT, EVIDENCED BY CONSERVATIVE BUDGETING IN FAVORABLE AVAILABLE FUND BALANCE AND LIQUIDITY.
[01:10:04]
THAT COMBINED WITH THE SIGNIFICANT GROWTH THAT YOU HAVE, YOUR RESERVES, AND OVERALL MANAGEMENT HERE IS GIVING US A AA2 CREDIT RATING WITH A STABLE OUTLOOK BY MOODY'S.THE CITY DOES HAVE ANOTHER RATING BY S&P AND YOU HAVE A AA RATING WITH THEM.
WE DIDN'T GO TO S&P THIS TIME AROUND GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE TRANSACTION, BUT CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CITY ON THAT.
THIS MORNING, WE ADVERTISE THE FINANCING OF THE LAST TRANCHE OF THE CITY'S VOTED AUTHORITY FOR COMMUNITY LIBRARY AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES FOR A TOTAL OF $50,440,000.
THIS WAS A 25-YEAR TRANSACTION.
WHAT WE GOT HERE WAS A TRUE INTEREST COST FROM THE LOWEST PROVIDER AT 3.94 PERCENT.
YOU MAY RECALL WE TALKED ABOUT BUDGETING AROUND 4.5 PERCENT ON THIS ONE.
WHAT THIS REPRESENTS IS A CASH FLOW LOWER THAN BUDGETED AT ABOUT $1.5 MILLION UNDER BUDGET FROM WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN LATE MAY.
WE HAVE THE THREE BIDDERS HERE.
THE LOWEST ONE WAS ROBERT W. BAIRD AT 3.94 PERCENT, FOLLOWED BY FIDELITY AT 3.947 PERCENT, SO THAT WAS REALLY TIGHT, AND THEN SAMCO AT 3.985 PERCENT.
OBVIOUSLY, WE RECOMMEND TO COUNCIL TO CONSIDER ROBERT W. BAIRD'S BID, WHICH IS THE LOWEST ONE.
SUMMARIZING HERE, THE PARAMOUNT OF THE BOND IS GOING TO BE $14,930,000.
WE HAVE A PREMIUM SITUATION HERE GIVEN THAT YOUR BONDS ARE SOLD AT OVER 100 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR, IN THIS CASE.
THIS FINANCES THE 50,440,000 WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, ARE ALL IN COSTS, THAT'S INCLUDING ALL FINANCING COSTS, NOT JUST THE BOND AND THE WRITING FEES, IS A 4.035 PERCENT, AND THAT'S FIXED FOR 25 YEARS.
YOUR TOTAL PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENTS FOR THE ENTIRE PERIOD IS ABOUT $25.1 MILLION, AGAIN, $1.5 MILLION UNDER BUDGET, AND YOUR AVERAGE PAYMENT FOR THE TRANSACTIONS IS ABOUT A MILLION DOLLARS.
PUT THIS CHART FOR THE MATHEMATICALLY INCLINED COUNCIL.
MAYOR, IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THE DETAILS OF THE CASH FLOWS, IT FITS WELL WITHIN YOUR TAX RATE STRUCTURE.
NO EXPECTATION OF A TAX RATE IMPACT AS A RESULT OF THIS TRANSACTION.
FINALLY, IF THIS COUNCIL APPROVES THE ISSUANCE OF THE BONDS TONIGHT, THEN OUR BOND ATTORNEYS WILL TAKE THIS TO THE AG'S OFFICE IN AUSTIN WITH THE EXPECTATION OF CLOSING ON JULY 25TH.
AT SUCH TIME, THE CITY WOULD GET THE FUNDING FROM THE UNDERWRITER AND YOU HAVE THE MONEY FOR THE PROJECTS.
MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I'LL ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.
>> THANK YOU, ANDRE. NO QUESTIONS.
GREAT JOB AND GREAT JOB TO CITY STAFF FOR THESE RATINGS.
AND IT JUST SHOWS SOUNDNESS OF OUR FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT, WHICH IS GREAT. ANY QUESTIONS?
>> WE HAVE A MOTION ON ITEM C.
>> MOTION BY THE MAYOR PRO TEM, AND A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CARVER ALL IN FAVOR?
ITEM D, CONSIDER DISCUSS ACTION ON A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT REGARDING SERVICES INCLUDING THE PLAN FOR MUNICIPAL SERVICES FOR 16.1 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES OF LAND GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF COUNTY ROAD 427, 530 PLUS OR MINUS EAST OF COUNTY ROAD 425 FUTURE LEONARD AVENUE.
AGAIN, THIS IS A REQUEST FOR AN AGREEMENT REGARDING SERVICES FOR POLICE, FIRE, MEDICAL, SOLID WASTE, WASTEWATER, AND STREETS.
THIS IS FOR THE PROJECT THAT IS IDENTIFIED AS WOODLAND ESTATES.
IT IS ON THE NEXT ITEM FOR ANNEXATION.
ITEM IS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL.
>> ANY QUESTIONS ON ITEM D? A MOTION ON ITEM D.
>> MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CARVER. DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
ITEM E, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER, DISCUSS SECTION ON AN ORDINANCE STAY IN ACTS 16.1 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES OF LAND GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF COUNTY ROAD 427, 530 PLUS OR MINUS EAST COUNTY ROAD 425 FUTURE LEONARD AVENUE.
I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:22 PM.
>> YES, I SAY ANNEXATION IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RESOLUTION 2023 041417.
[01:15:01]
THIS ITEM'S RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL.>> ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC? THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.
LAST CALL. CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARINGS, 7:22 PM.
>> MOTION BY THE MAYOR PRO TEM.
I HAVE A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CARVER. ALL IN FAVOR?
ITEM F, CONSIDER DISCUSS ACTION ON A RESOLUTION REGARDING SCORE, BERG, AND RANCH SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT.
>> THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT CONTAINS BUILDING MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS AS WELL AS CONSTRUCTION DEADLINES FOR BOTH THE SINGLE-FAMILY AND MULTI-FAMILY AS IT RELATES TO BUILDING MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION DEADLINES ASSOCIATED WITH THE SINGLE-FAMILY.
AGAIN, PROVING THE SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT, NO WAY PUTS AN OBLIGATION ON CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE REZONING REQUEST, IT ONLY PUTS IN PLACE DEVELOPMENT IN DESIGN REGULATIONS.
>> I'D LIKE A MOTION WE APPROVE ITEM F.
>> MOTION BY THE MAYOR, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN BAKER. ALL IN FAVOR?
>> YES. MOTION PASSES, ITEM G CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER DISCUSS ACTION ON AN ORDINANCE TO REZONE 170 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES LOCATED ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDE OF EAST FOSTER CROSSING ROAD 1645, PLUS OR MINUS FEET EAST TO FEATURED LEONARD AVENUE FROM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.
TO ALLOW A SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE AND MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENCE BUILT SF-72, SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTS, DISTRICT SF-60, SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTS DISTRICT SF-Z RESIDENT ZONE WHICH IS ZERO LOT LINE HOMES AND MF2 MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL, HIGH DENSITY WITH MODIFIED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. MR. ALTOBELLI?
>> FROM THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING, WHICH WAS ON MAY 23RD, 2023, THE APPLICANTS MADE THE FOLLOWING CHANGES: HE'S INCREASED THE NUMBER OF SF-72 LOTS, BASED UPON INFORMATION OR DISCUSSION AT THAT MEETING, BY 69 LOTS, MAYBE DECREASE THE SF-Z LOTS BY ROUGHLY 151 LOTS, WHICH IS A DECREASE OF 149 UNITS.
IT'S OVERALL A REDUCTION OF 36 SLOTS, ADDITIONALLY, THE APPLICANT HAS ADDED IN A PRIVATE AMENITY CENTER POOL WHICH WOULD BE OWNED AND MAINTAINED BY THE HOA.
THE LAND AREA ASSOCIATED WITH THE PARKLAND DEDICATION REMAINS THE SAME.
IT'S REDUCED BY ONE ACRE, BUT IN GENERAL CONCEPT, IT IS STILL THE SAME AREA.
AGAIN, HERE IS THE UPDATED LAYOUT THAT SHOWS THE DIFFERENT LOT MIXTURES AS WELL AS AN IDENTIFICATION OF WHERE THE PRIVATE AMENITY CENTER WOULD BE.
AGAIN, THE PROPOSED STIPULATIONS WOULD BE FOR PRESERVATION, DEDICATION OF 28 ACRES FOR A PUBLIC PARK, INCREASED BUFFERING ALONG EAST FOSTER CROSSING, ENHANCED SIDEWALKS, MINIMUM MAXIMUM LOT TYPES, AS WELL AS THERE'LL BE A STIPULATION AS IT RELATES TO THE CONSTRUCTION AND COMPLETION OF THE PRIVATE AMENITY CENTER PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE 250 SINGLE-FAMILY PERMIT.
HERE'S A PICTURE OR A DIAGRAM ASSOCIATED WITH THE PRIVATE AMENITY CENTER THAT WILL BE PART OF THE ORDINANCE AS WELL, THAT WILL NEED TO BE IN SUBSTANTIAL CONFORMANCE WITH THIS PLAN.
AGAIN, IT IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE ANNA2050, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS IT RELATES TO THE LAND USE DEVELOPMENT POLICY, HOUSING POLICY, PLACE-MAKING POLICY.
AT THE MONDAY, MAY 1ST, 2023 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, THE COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THIS.
THE CITY RECEIVED ONE LETTER IN SUPPORT AND 16 IN OPPOSITION TO THE ZONING REQUEST, THIS NUMBER HAS NOT CHANGED SINCE THE MAY 23RD MEETING.
WE'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
THE APPLICANT IS ALSO HERE WITH A BRIEF PRESENTATION.
>> PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN AT 7:26 PM, ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ON THIS ITEM? LAST CALL. GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, 7:26 PM.
>> MAYOR, COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
MY NAME IS JOHN ARNOLD WITH SKORBURG COMPANY, THE ADDRESS IS 8214 WESTCHESTER, SUITE 900 DALLAS, TEXAS 75225.
I WANT TO OPEN WITH THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME BACK.
THANK YOU FOR STAFF FOR THE LAST FOUR WEEKS.
THANK YOU FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR YOUR FEEDBACK DURING LAST MEETING, AND WILLING TO DISCUSS THE PLAN WITH ME AND GIVE ME YOUR FEEDBACK AND GIVE US A BETTER DIRECTION FOR THIS PROJECT ONE MORE TO FIT THE CITY'S VISION.
[01:20:01]
I'VE BEEN WARNED A COUPLE OF TIMES AND MIGHT NOT NEED TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE PRESENTATION.IF YOU ASK QUESTIONS, I CAN FLIP THROUGH SOME SLIDES.
WE KNOW WHERE THE PROJECT IS, IT'S JUST EAST OF HIGHWAY 5 ON FOSTER CROSSING.
IT SPLITS FOSTER CROSSING JUST BEHIND PHASE 2 AND 3 OF ANNA RANCH AND JUST NORTH OF THE CURRENT BATCH PLANT AND ENCORE POWER PLANT.
I GO THROUGH THIS AND WE WENT THROUGH THIS LAST TIME.
>> AND TOWN SQUARE TO OUR WEST, TOWN HOUSE MULTI-FAMILY COMMERCIAL, DOWN SOUTH TO OUR WEST, FURTHER TO OUR SOUTH WHERE THE TWO READY MIX PLANTS, ENCORE PLANT.
OUT TO THE EAST, WE HAVE THE ETJ AND TO THE NORTH, WE HAVE THE ETJ.
TRAIL CONNECTIONS STAY THE SAME AS LAST TIME, EAST AND WEST LOOKING TO TRY TO CONNECT THIS THROUGH THE NEW PHASE OF ANNA RANCH TO THE EAST OF US ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL.
WE'RE DOING THE 10-FOOT TRAIL CONNECTING ALONG LEONARD, AS IS OUR NEIGHBOR WHO'S UNDER DESIGN AS WELL RIGHT NOW.
CITY COUNCIL FEEDBACK, ROSS SAID THIS PRETTY WELL, BUT THIS IS ANOTHER SLIDE SHOWS OUR UPDATED PERCENTAGES.
WE DID, WE INCREASE THE 60S BY 69 PERCENT FROM 100-169 LOTS.
WE REDUCED THE 40S IN HALF FROM 300-151 AND REDUCED OUR TOTAL LOTS BY 36.
AFTER FEEDBACK FROM NEIGHBORS AND FEEDBACK I WAS HEARING DURING P&Z FROM SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS THAT CAME THROUGH, WE UNDERSTAND THAT A PRIVATE AMENITY CENTER POOL IS IMPORTANT TO EVERYBODY IN THE NEW COMMUNITY.
THEY'RE NOT THERE YET, BUT FEEDBACK FROM OTHERS IN THE PAST HAVE GIVEN US THAT DIRECTION TO ADD A POOL AMENITY CENTER, ORIGINALLY CAME IN THINKING THAT WE'RE SPENDING A TON ON THE PARK AND PARK WILL ACT AS AN AMENITY, BUT AN ADDED POOL IS IMPORTANT FOR BASICALLY ANY COMMUNITY HERE.
ALSO, ANOTHER ADD IS THAT DURING THAT P&Z MEETING, WE HEARD FEEDBACK FROM SOME OF THE ANNA TOWN SQUARE RESIDENCES FOR US TO FOCUS ON A SECOND POOL INSTEAD OF A INDOOR AMENITY CENTER.
WE'VE GOT SOME DESIGNS FOR THAT, WE'RE GOING TO BRING THAT BACK OUT TO THE HOA IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.
WE HEARD THAT AS WELL DURING OUR P&Z MEETINGS AFTER THE COUNCIL MEETING LAST TIME.
I'LL SKIP THIS ONE BECAUSE ROSS JUST SAID THAT FIVE SECONDS AGO.
WE'RE ACCOMMODATING FOR THE ENTRANCES PER STAFF.
AGAIN, WE JUST HEARD THIS, WE HAVE 515 LOTS, 3.8 UNITS PER ACRE.
WE HAVE THE 28TH-ACRE PARK, IT'S ONE ACRE DOWN.
AMENITY CENTER CRUNCHED INTO SOME OF THAT AREA AND WE STRAIGHTENED OUT SOME LOTS ALONG THE CREEK SIDE.
YOU WANT ME TO GET THROUGH THIS.
MULTI-FAMILY ZONING CHAIN HAS NOT CHANGED, IT'S STILL 25 UNITS PER ACRE.
ULTIMATE DENSITY WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE MARKET DEMAND ABSORPTION OF EXISTING CONSTRUCTION MULTIFAMILY, END USER WILL BE REQUIRED, THIS IS JUST BASED ZONING END USER WILL BE REQUIRED TO RETURN TO CITY COUNCIL FOR DETAILED PLANS PRIOR TO MOVING FORWARD MULTIFAMILY.
THEN ALSO THERE'S A CONSTRUCTION OF AN OFFSITE SEWER THAT WILL BE NEEDED FOR THIS, THAT IS NOT PLANNED AND WITH THE SINGLE-FAMILY, SO IT'S A WHOLE ANOTHER PROCESS.
THIS MULTIFAMILY, WE'RE BELIEVING THERE'S GOING TO BE THREE TO FIVE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD AT BEST.
BECAUSE OF ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT NEEDS TO BE MADE BEFORE THAT AND THE TIME TO RE-PLAN THIS SITE.
WE'VE HAD SOME COMMENTS ABOUT INDUSTRIAL, WE JUST WANT TO POINT OUT QUICKLY THAT THIS AREA, THE INDUSTRIAL AREA, YOU HAVE A GREAT INDUSTRIAL AREA ALONG OUT COLLIN COUNTY OUTER LOOP.
VDC PROJECT AND THE OLD ANNA RANCH PIECE, 180 ACRES THERE THAT HAS GREAT ACCESS TO COLLIN COUNTY OUTER LOOP.
WE'VE TALKED TO A LOT OF INDUSTRIAL LEADERS THAT HAVE SAID THAT IS YOUR SPOT FOR INDUSTRIAL.
THIS DOES NOT HAVE DIRECT ACCESS OF COLLIN COUNTY OUTER LOOP.
ANOTHER THING IS THAT WE'VE ALREADY TRANSITIONED WITH A ZONING FROM THAT 180 ACRES WITH THE ANNA RANCH PIECE WHERE WE HAVE THE COMMERCIAL MULTIFAMILY, THE TOWNHOUSE.
THAT TRANSITION IS ALREADY HAPPENED AND THEN TRANSITION BACK RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO IT ACROSS FROM A PARK, COULD BE AN UNSIGHTLY, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL COME IN WITH INDUSTRIAL IN FUTURE COULD BE UNSIGHTLY SMELLS, NOISE RIGHT ACROSS FROM A PARK.
WE JUST THINK THAT MULTIFAMILY IS THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE, SINGLE-FAMILY THERE'S A BATCH PLANT JUST TO THE SOUTH OF IT.
I THINK IT'D BE REALLY HARD TO BUILD A COMMUNITY RIGHT THERE BESIDE THAT BATCH PLANT.
WE WENT OVER THIS LAST TIME, THESE ARE USUALLY SURROUND THE MULTIFAMILY SITE.
ANOTHER THING THAT WAS POINTED OUT THAT I WANTED TO MAKE CLEAR, BECAUSE IN SOME OF MY CONVERSATIONS THIS WAS ASKED TO BE REPEATED.
[01:25:02]
THIS IS A TIME SCHEDULE WE'RE SEEING LEONARD FROM CONVERSATIONS I'VE HAD.THE FIRST SECTION IS THE PACESETTER SECTION OF LEONARD TRAILS JUST TO THE NORTH OF US IN CONVERSATIONS WITH PACESETTER, THEY'RE ONE OF OUR GREAT BUILDING PARTNERS IN A LOT OF OUR SUBDIVISIONS.
THEY'RE ANTICIPATING TO START CONSTRUCTION IN 2023 AND COMPLETE IN Q1 2025, SO THEY'RE WELL AHEAD OF US.
THE ANNA RANCH SECTION THROUGH CONVERSATIONS WITH CITY STAFF, ANTICIPATED START DATE IS THE END OF THIS YEAR.
THEIR DESIGN PLAN OF BIDDED OUT THE END OF THIS YEAR AND CONSTRUCT THAT ROAD IN 2024.
OUR ANTICIPATED START WOULD HOPEFULLY BE AT THE END OF THIS YEAR.
THAT'S VERY AGGRESSIVE, BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT Q2, Q3, 2025, AND ARRANGE MULTIFAMILY ANTICIPATED START WOULDN'T BE UNTIL 2026-2028 OR 2028-2030.
ONE OF THE MAIN POINTS AS POINTED OUT IS THIS ROAD NEEDS TO BE BUILT, SO WE WILL HAVE CONNECTION FOR 55 DOWN TO THE OUTER LOOP.
WE SHOULD HAVE THAT BY THE TIME THAT WE HIT THE GROUND.
ADDITIONAL PROJECT ELEMENTS, HERE'S A COLORED VERSION OF OUR WHOLE DESIGN COMMUNITY CENTER THAT WILL HAVE A SPLASH PAD AREA, LOUNGE AREA, CABANA-STYLE RESTROOMS, GRILL WITH COVERAGE SEATING, AND DECORATIVE LANDSCAPING THROUGHOUT.
THE PARK HAS NOT CHANGED EXCEPT FOR ONE ACRE GOTTEN CRUNCHED BY THE AMENITY CENTER AND SOME OTHER CHANGES THAT WE MADE IN THE LAYOUT ACROSS THOSE TWO CREEKS.
STILL THE SAME AS SPORTS FIELDS.
THIS IS A CONCEPT PLAN WE'LL STILL COME BACK TO WHERE PLOT WITH PARKS BOARD, HOPE TO HAVE SOME MEETINGS WITH THEM.
THIS GETS APPROVED STARTING THIS WEEK, NEXT WEEK I'D LIKE TO GET THAT STARTED AND GET A GOOD DESIGN FOR THAT GOING.
SAME FEATURES, TENNIS COURTS, PLAYGROUNDS, FOOD TRUCK STATIONS, A PAVILION RIGHT NEAR THE FOOD STRUCT STATIONS, THE 12 FOOT TRAIL, THERE WILL BE BATHROOMS AS WELL.
I HEARD THAT POINTED OUT, AND THE FOOD TRUCK ORDINANCE EARLIER, THERE NEEDS TO BE BATHROOMS, ELECTRICAL, AND ALL THAT.
THAT WOULD BE THE PLAN FOR THIS TO HAVE ALL OF THAT SETUP, IF THAT'S WHAT PARKS DECIDES IT'S GOING TO BE IN THIS AREA, THAT'S WHAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT.
WE PLAN TO KEEP THIS AREA PRESERVE SOME NATURAL OPEN SPACES, PUT THE PLAYGROUND IN THIS NATURAL OPEN SPACE, THERE'S A GREAT POND RIGHT THERE.
THIS IS ALL MY IDEA, BUT WE'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS WITH PARKS BOARD, BUT I LOVE THE IDEA OF PUTTING A PARK RIGHT BY THE POND AND NATURAL AREA.
INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, THESE ARE THE SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS.
MAIN THING I WANT TO POINT OUT FROM THIS SLIDE IS, AGAIN, WE'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE FOSTER CROSSING ROAD BOTH SIDES CONSTRUCTED PRIOR TO OCCUPANCY OF OUR FIRST HOME.
PARK IMPROVEMENTS NEED TO BE IN PRIOR TO THE OCCUPANCY OF THE FIRST HOME.
WE WILL BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION ON THAT PARK, UNDER CONSTRUCTION OF A ROAD AS SOON AS WE START AND REPRESENT PRODUCT WE WENT THROUGH LAST TIME.
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS WE ALSO HIT THOSE EARLIER. IS THAT MY TIMER? I'LL JUST END ON THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN [INAUDIBLE].
HOPEFULLY DIDN'T TAKE UP TOO MUCH TIME.
>> THANK, JOHN. COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS? DID THAT CLOSE OUR PUBLIC HEARING? ANY QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW?
>> BE CAREFUL SHOWN ANY NEIGHBORS CONCEPT PLANS OR PICTURES. TAKE THAT TO CARVER.
>> I WILL, EARLY CONCEPT PLAN, IT'S A GOOD EASY GENERIC CONCEPT PLAN.
>> THE GENERAL SIZE OF THE POOL, IT FITS IN THERE.
I DON'T SEE REALLY CHANGING MUCH FROM THAT DESIGN.
IT HAS ALL THE ELEMENTS WE WOULD NEED, IT GOES BY THE TRAIL, GOES BEHIND IT, IT'S CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE PLAYGROUND.
IT'S GOOD VIEW CORRIDOR DRIVING UP THERE TO SEE THE AMENITY CENTER, I DON'T SEE MUCH CHANGE IN THAT.
>> I WILL SAY I LIVE RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF ALL THIS, ONE THING THAT HAS BEEN THE MAJOR POINT OF CONCERN, OF COURSE, IS INFRASTRUCTURE.
INFRASTRUCTURE IS BEING ADDRESSED MORE WITH LEONARD GOING OUT TO THE OUTER LOOP.
TRAFFIC LIGHT, WHEN I SEE IT, I JUST DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S EVER GOING TO HAPPEN.
[01:30:01]
>> I SAW THEY PUT A ELECTRICAL BOX.
>> THEY PUT ALL THE ELECTRICAL.
>> BUT WHAT YOU DID POSITIVELY WAS YOU CAME BACK TO THE TABLE AND YOU ADDRESSED WHAT A LOT OF THE CONCERNS WERE, YOU REDUCED YOUR 40S BY HALF.
>> THAT'S A GOOD POINT AND NEGOTIATION THAT REALLY HELPED HERE.
TOTAL LOTS REDUCED FOR 36, BUT SHE ADDED A LARGER LOTS.
>> WE WENT UP TO ABOUT 75-78 PERCENT OF THE SITES NOW LARGE LOTS, RIGHT THERE, I'M SORRY 71.
>> YOU'RE DONATING A GOOD AMOUNT OF PARKLAND AND YOU'RE PUTTING IN A SECOND POOL, WHICH IS WHAT NEIGHBORS HAVE REALLY DESIRED, IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE MULTIFAMILY COMPONENT, MOST OF MY NEIGHBORS WILL DISAGREE, BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT THAT WE ALREADY HAVE AND I AGREE WITH THEM ON A LOT OF THAT ON THE SITE LOCATION OF THIS ONE, I ACTUALLY AGREE WITH.
THIS IS WHERE THIS SHOULD GO, [OVERLAPPING]
>> JUST LACK THE LAST ROUND, THE LAST PROJECT THAT'S BEING DEVELOPED OVER THERE MULTIFAMILY.
IT'S IN THE BACK, CLOSER TO THE INDUSTRIAL PARK, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHERE THAT SIDE GOES.
THIS IS MUCH FURTHER EAST AND I BELIEVE A LOT OF NEIGHBORS UNDERSTAND WHERE IT'S REALLY AT.
I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THE CONCEPT IN THEIR MIND THAT SECOND PHASE OF AN ARRANGE.
>> I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME, YOU SPEND A LOT OF TIME COMING BACK AND I KNOW YOU DID WORKING WITH ME PERSONALLY ON MY CONCERNS ABOUT IT BEING A NEIGHBOR, AND A HOMEOWNER IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, AND YOU ADDRESSED MY CONCERNS.
>> NOW, FOLLOW UP ON THAT, JOHN, I WASN'T HERE THE FIRST TIME.
WHEN I WATCH THE MEETING, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ADDRESSED JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING, I DON'T KNOW IF THE GUYS HAVE ANY ISSUES ON THAT AND THAT'S A PERFECT TEAM PLAYER RIGHT THERE.
THE BEST PART OF IT IS THE HAVING TO COME BACK TO GIVE THE COUNCIL ANOTHER BITE OF THE APPLE FOR THE MULTIFAMILY.
ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING CONCERNS ABOUT THAT, IT'S GOING TO BE AT LEAST FIVE YEARS, I WOULD IMAGINE.
>> I AGREE WITH YOU THERE, GOOD JOB.
>> I WANT TO SAY THANKS FOR LISTENING, AND A FEW PHONE CALLS THAT WE HAD, AND I KNOW SHOULD TALKED TO A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT COUNCILMAN.
I DO APPRECIATE REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF THE '40S AND ADDED SOME MORE '60S AND THANK YOU FOR STILL DOING THE [INAUDIBLE] AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.
I DON'T THINK THE WHOLE APARTMENT THING, LIKE THE MAYOR SAID, THIS IS THE RIGHT LOCATION FOR APARTMENTS.
IT'S JUST THOSE OTHER ONES ARE NOT AND IT'S NOT THAT WE DISLIKE APARTMENTS OR DON'T WANT THEM.
IT'S WE ALREADY HAVE A LOT OF THEM IN THIS AREA, SO DON'T TAKE THAT IN A NEGATIVE WAY, BUT HOPEFULLY THE INFRASTRUCTURE AGAINST THERE BEFORE THE APARTMENTS ARE EVEN [INAUDIBLE] UP.
>> MR. RONALD, MY COMMENT THE LAST TIME WAS PLEASE STEP IT UP AND GO OUT ON A BANG, DOING SOMETHING YOU'D BE REALLY PROUD OF.
I THINK THIS IS A LOT BETTER, I APPRECIATE YOU RECEIVING THE INPUT THAT WAS GETTING FROM THE NEIGHBORS WITH THE POOL.
THIS IS THE SECOND PART THAT YOU'VE DONE IN THIS SIZABLE PARTS THAT YOU'VE DONE RELATED TO THIS GENERAL ITEM, BUT DO YOU HAVE AN UPDATE ON THE FIRST PART AS FAR AS WHEN IT MIGHT BE ACTIVATED?
>> I DON'T, BUT I CAN GET YOU ON I KNOW THAT PHASE 9 AND BRING THE ROAD DOWN THERE, SO I THINK THAT'S 18 MONTHS AWAY, BUT DON'T QUOTE ME ON THAT, BUT I CAN DEFINITELY GET YOU ONE.
>> HOPEFULLY SEEING EACH OTHER TO DESIGN THIS OTHER PARK AND I GET YOU AN UPDATE ON THAT.
>> YOU DON'T MAKE ANY MONEY ON PARK, STEVE.
>> YOU'RE GREAT ASSETS FOR ALL OF US.
>> SURE, AGAIN THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.
>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. RONALD?
>> I LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION, WE APPROVE.
>> MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CARVER AND THE SECOND BY COUNCILMAN BAKER.
>> MOTION PASSES. ITEM H, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER DISCUSS ACTION ON THE ORDINANCE TO REZONE 2.4 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES LOCATED ON NORTH SIDE OF WEST WHITE STREET, 635 PLUS OR MINUS FEET, EAST OF FERGUSON PARKWAY FROM PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO REZONE THE PROPERTY TO C1 RESTRICTED COMMERCIAL.
THE DEVELOPMENT AS PROPOSED IS MEETING ALL OF THE C1 REGULATIONS IN OUR ZONING ORDINANCE.

DO I HAVE ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ON THIS ITEM? LAST CALL. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:47 PM.
>> THIS ITEM IS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL.
[01:40:01]
>> I HAVE A QUESTION FOR OUR ATTORNEY.
BY APPROVING THIS ANNEXATION IS NOT IN ANY WAY COMMUNICATING THAT WE'RE APPROVING WHAT THEY'RE WANTING TO DO WITH THIS PROPERTY, CORRECT?
>> AS FAR AS THE ZONING IS CONCERNED?
>> YES, WE'RE BRINGING IT INTO A CITY.
WE'RE ANNEXING IT INTO THE CITY.
WE'RE REZONING IT, BUT IT DOESN'T SUGGEST TO THE DEVELOPER THAT ON THE NEXT ITEM, IT DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY GET APPROVED BECAUSE WE'VE DONE THIS.
>> THEY ARE INDEPENDENT ITEMS, ABSOLUTELY.
THE CITY IS NEVER OBLIGATED TO VOTE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER FOR LAND USE PROPOSALS ZONING.
IT'S A LEGISLATIVE ACT, AND THAT'S FULLY WITHIN THE PURVIEW IN THE DISCRETION OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
>> THANK YOU, SIR. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? A MOTION ON ITEM M.

>> THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO CONSTRUCT MULTI-FAMILY AS WELL AS A BANQUET HALL WITH A HOTEL.
I CAN GO THROUGH THE STANDARDS IF YOU WOULD LIKE.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOES NOT ALIGN WITH THIS PROPOSAL.
HOWEVER, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL SEVEN TO ZERO DUE TO THE SITE'S TOPOGRAPHY, AS WELL AS ITS LOCATION ALONG US HIGHWAY 75, AS WELL AS COLLIN COUNTY OUTER LOOP, WHICH WILL BE A MAJOR HIGHWAY.
THAT'S THE END OF MY PRESENTATION, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AND THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE IS HERE.
>> PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN AT 7:50 PM, ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC? CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 07:50.
COUNCIL, I WILL SAY WE'VE SEEN THIS LOCATION MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST, I DON'T KNOW, 12-18 MONTHS.
THERE ARE MAJOR TOPOGRAPHY ISSUES.
I WILL AGREE WITH WHAT PLANNING STAFF IS SAYING.
THERE ARE RESTRICTIONS AS TO WHAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO GO THERE IN THE FUTURE.
AT THE SAME TIME, I DO THINK, ONCE AGAIN THERE'S A HARD CORNER THAT HAS DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES, BUT IT PROBABLY MAKES SENSE.
>> BUT THE APARTMENTS THERE MAKE MORE SENSE THAN SOME OF THE OTHER PLACES WE'VE SEEN.
>> WE'RE NOT GOING TO SLOW DOWN MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING DURING THE FASTEST-GROWING COUNTY IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, OR SECOND FASTEST-GROWING.
IF THEY DON'T BUILD THEM IN THE CITY LIMITS, THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD THEM IN THE ETJ.
THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS TRY TO CONTROL THEM AND MANAGE THEM, DEVELOP THEM WITH QUALITY STANDARDS.
BUT YOU WILL NOT SHUT THEM DOWN.
I DON'T KNOW, I'M SO TORN ABOUT IT, BUT IT IS THE MARKET.
IT'S ALL ANNA IS GOING TO GET RIGHT NOW, MULTIPLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, WHICH IS DISAPPOINTING. I DON'T KNOW.
[01:45:06]
>> YOU'RE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE LUCK WITH APARTMENTS ON THAT HARD CORNER THAN YOU ARE WITH $900,000 HOMES.
I DON'T WANT HIM IN MY HOME BETWEEN OUTER LOOP AND 75.
>> COUNCIL, I'D LIKE FOR US TO EXAMINE WHAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SAYS AND WHY IT'S NOT ZONED FOR RESIDENTIAL.
>> BECAUSE THERE'S A SOIL CONSERVATION BEHIND IT.
>> BECAUSE THAT FLOODS, IT'LL FLOOD OUT EVERY UNIT YOU'VE GOT, IT'S IN A FLOOD PLAIN.
>> I WOULD DARE SAY THAT THIS PROBABLY ISN'T GOING TO BE DEVELOPED WITH THIS CURRENT COUNCIL.
BUT IF YOU WAIT IT OUT, THERE WILL BE A FUTURE COUNCIL THAT WILL BE PRESENTED A INCREDIBLE DEVELOPMENT PIECE THAT WILL GO HERE, BECAUSE WE HAVE MAJOR INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRY ON BOTH SIDES OF ANNA THAT ARE COMING.
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT SOMEBODY WITH A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY WILL BE WILLING TO REWORK THE SOIL CONSERVATION WORK WITH THEIR CORE OF ENGINEERS, AND IT WILL BE AN INCREDIBLE CAMPUS.
I THINK IF WE JUMPED THE GUN AND FORCE MULTI-FAMILY, I'M INTRIGUED BY THE HOTEL, BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND HAVING A HOTEL NEXT TO NOTHING.
LAST TIME THERE WAS A WEDDING VENUE THAT WAS GOING TO GO BACK THERE AND STILL WASN'T ENOUGH TO CARRY A HOTEL.
I WOULD JUST SAY THAT WE CONTINUE TO BE PATIENT, AND LET'S DO A FUTURE COUNCIL A FAVOR AND NOT APPROVE THIS, AND THE CITY OF ANNA A FAVOR.
>> I MUST SAY, COUNCILMAN CARVER, I COMPLETELY DISAGREE WITH YOU ON THAT ONE.
I DON'T THINK THAT SOMEONE IS GOING TO COME AND PUT A HIGH-END DEVELOPMENT IN HERE.
I DON'T THINK IT'S A COMMERCIAL USE WITH A RETAIL CORNER, BECAUSE IT'S SUNKEN DOWN IN A HOLE WHICH ENGINEERS HAVE ALREADY EXPLAINED.
THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WILL GO INTO THE LEVELING WORK TO EVEN MAKE IT A FEASIBLE DEVELOPMENT.
I AGREE, I THINK THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR THIS COMMUNITY ARE INCREDIBLE OVER THE NEAR FUTURE.
BUT I WILL SAY, I THINK THIS HARD CORNER RIGHT HERE POISES SOME MAJOR DEVELOPMENT ISSUES.
IF SOMEONE CAN SPEND THE MONEY TO COME IN AND PUT A HOTEL, A PRIVATE BANQUET HALL, AND SOME DENSITY IN THAT CORNER TO HELP ATTRACT SOME OF THOSE INTERNATIONAL PLACES YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, I THINK THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD USE OF THAT CORNER.
I STRUGGLE BECAUSE WE'VE SET UP HERE AND I'VE WATCHED EVERY ONE OF US APPROVE FIVE OR SIX OF THESE THINGS IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, YET NOW WE WANT TO PUT THEM A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO THE HIGHWAY, AND NOBODY WANTS TO BRING IT.
>> WELL, I THINK YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH TO APPROVE IT.
CAN I ASK A QUESTION TO THE APPLICANT? [NOISE]
>> MATTHIAS ALBERT, 2600 NETWORK BOULEVARD, SUITE 310 IN FRISCO, TEXAS, HERE ON BEHALF OF THE OWNER.
>> I APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE.
>> CAN YOU JUST CLARIFY, ARE THEY TWO SEPARATE BUILDINGS, YOUR HOTEL AND BANQUET HALL, OR IS YOUR BANQUET HALL INSIDE YOUR HOTEL?
>> YES. WHAT'S LAID OUT HERE AS THEY WOULD BE ALMOST ACTING AS ASSOCIATED USES WHERE THEY COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER.
BUT THERE WOULD BE TWO DIFFERENT BUILDINGS, TWO DIFFERENT STRUCTURES.
BIG KEY HERE WITH A BANQUET HALL IS THAT WOULD BRING ATTRACTION, VISITORS TO THE CITY.
THERE'S, OVERALL, JUST A LACK OF HOSPITALITY IN THIS AREA ON THE 75 QUARTER OR UP THIS WAY.
>> YEAH, I AGREE, I JUST THINK WE ALSO NEED SOME CONFERENCE ROOM AREAS IN THESE HOTELS, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO PROPOSE AS WELL?
>> YEAH, SO NOTHING IS FORMALIZED YET, BUT THAT WOULD BE AN OPEN SPACE.
THAT COULD HOST CONFERENCES, IT COULD HOST A WEDDING, IT COULD HOST A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT SERVICES AND THEN THE HOTEL IS THERE TO SUPPORT THAT, BUT ACTUALLY, I THINK WE WORKED CLOSELY WITH STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT THE HOTEL ALSO DIDN'T HAVE A SEPARATE CONFERENCE ROOM THAT WOULD COMPETE WITH THAT USE.
BUT TWO SEPARATE STRUCTURES THAT WOULD BE USED.
WHAT THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PRESENTED ALSO CONTAINS IS IT'S GOT A BASE ZONE OF C3, SO IT DOES ALLOW FOR A SLEW OF OTHER COMMERCIAL USES.
BUT TO THE POINTS THEY'RE BEING MADE, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE ON THIS WHERE THE FRONTAGE ROAD, THE INTERSECTION THERE SITS 30 FEET ABOVE TO CREATE SOME ON THIS SITE.
[01:50:02]
WHAT'S A USE THAT DOESN'T RELY ON VISIBILITY, THAT DOESN'T RELY ON FRONTAGE, AND SO YOU'RE LEFT WITH RESIDENTIAL BUT BEING A FUTURE HIGH OUT, FLY OVER ON THIS INTERSECTION, SINGLE-FAMILY DOESN'T NECESSARILY MAKE SENSE.THAT'S REALLY THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THE MULTIFAMILY USES, BUT THE UNDERLYING USE STILL IS C3, SO IT DOES OFFER ADDITIONAL USE.
THE C3 DISTRICT, IT'S BASICALLY LAID OUT FOR RETAIL, OFFICE USES, AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE WHERE THOSE USES ARE STILL POTENTIAL HERE.
WE'D COME BACK PROBABLY FOR A CONSTANT PLAN AMENDMENT, BUT THAT WILL COME IN FRONT OF YOU GUYS AS WELL TO APPROVE THAT.
TO THE MAYOR'S POINT, THERE'S A LACK OF SINGLE-FAMILY ADJACENCY HERE.
OBVIOUSLY, THE COUNTY RESERVOIR THERE PROVIDES A GOOD BUFFER FROM THE OTHER SINGLE-FAMILY IN THIS AREA.
THE COMMERCIAL SHOWN NORTHERN ON 75, THAT IS WHERE THERE IS A TINY SLIVER OF SINGLE-FAMILY ADJACENCY THERE ON THE 75 FRONTAGE ROAD, BUT THAT'S STRATEGICALLY PLACED THERE WITH THE COMMERCIAL.
THAT LOCATION ON THE FRONTAGE ROAD DOES HAVE SOME USABLE FRONTAGE THAT IS VISIBLE FROM THE HIGHWAY, THAT IS VISIBLE FROM THE FIRM'S ROAD AS WELL.
THIS PLAN IS STRATEGICALLY BUILT AROUND THAT TOPOGRAPHY VERY, VERY CLOSELY.
MAYBE HARD TO SEE JUST FROM A 2D PLAN, BUT THERE HAS BEEN THOUGHT THAT'S BEEN PUT INTO THAT.
>> IT'S BETTER TO SET A WALL AMOUNT OF TIME.
>> IT'S DECEMBER FROM WE WERE LAST YEAR, YES, SIR.
>> LOOKING AT IT FROM EVERY DIRECTION, TAKING THE TIME AND SO WE'RE GIVEN, YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT.
I'D BE MORE AGREEABLE IF THE TWO UNITS ON THE RIGHT WERE MULTIFAMILY IF YOU WERE BRINGING MUCH MORE COMMERCIAL FROM THAT VERTICAL DOTTED LINE ALL THE WAY AROUND.
>> I FELT LIKE IT WOULD BE A LOT MORE COMPLIMENTARY TO THE HOTEL, WHICH I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE BRINGING IN AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE BANQUET HALL.
I HAVE NO OPPOSITION THERE, BUT THE REST OF THAT CORNER, TO ME, IT DOES NOT SAY RESIDENTIAL.
I KNOW THAT IF YOU MADE IT COMMERCIAL, IT WOULD SELL.
IF YOU MADE IT THE RIGHT KIND OF COMMERCIAL WITH OFFICE, AND RETAIL AREAS, RESTAURANT AREAS DOWN BELOW, IT'S GOING TO SELL.
WE'VE SEEN PEOPLE TAKE MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF LAND AROUND HERE THAT WASN'T REALLY USABLE AND TURN IT INTO A MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS IN CELL IN A VERY QUICK AMOUNT OF TIME.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE GENTLEMAN WHO PRESENTED EARLIER TOOK A WHOLE LOT OF FARMLAND AND TURNED IT INTO ANNA TOWN SQUARE, I MEAN HIS GROUP.
WE'VE SEEN THIS TREND TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
I'D ASK THAT YOU RECONSIDER AND MAKE SOME MODIFICATIONS AND LET US HELP AND LET OUR EVC AND ALL OF OUR BUSINESS SECTOR FILL UP YOUR BUILDINGS WITH COMMERCIAL.
>> ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT TO THE COUNCIL, AT THIS HARD CORNER, JUST AS A REMINDER, THE COUNTY'S COLLEGE HAS 100 ACRES OF LAND JUST ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY HAVE COMMENTED ON BEFORE THEY ARE READY TO DEVELOP A CAMPUS IS THEY HAVE TO SEE MORE DENSITY, MORE LIVING SPACES FOR THEIR STUDENTS AND THEIR EMPLOYEES IN ORDER TO CONSTRUCT A CORE CURRICULUM CAMPUS IN ANNA.
I THINK THAT THIS WOULD OFFER A SOLUTION OF HOUSING THAT WOULD FIT IN WELL WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CORE CURRICULUM COLLEGE CAMPUS RIGHT ACROSS THE HALLWAY.
>> AND THAT PROPERTY DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY RESIDENTIAL ON IT.
THAT'S STRICTLY THAT THE CAMPUS WOULD OWN.
SO THERE'S NO AFFILIATED HOUSING THAT'S A PART OF THAT 100 PLUS ACRES. THANK YOU.
>> WHEN YOU CAME TO US IN DECEMBER, YOU WERE FOCUSING MAINLY ON ONE AND TWO BEDROOM UNITS, RIGHT? [OVERLAPPING]
>> YES, SIR, AND THAT'S STILL THE CASE.
SOME PORTION OF THIS, WHETHER IT'S THE CONCEPT PLAN OR THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, I THINK ACTUALLY LOCKS US INTO A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF ONE BEDROOM TO PROVIDE THAT WORKING FORCE, THAT STUDENT, THAT YOUNG PROFESSIONAL, THAT'S STILL THE TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC HERE.
>> RIGHT. SOMEWHERE A TEACHER CAN LIVE.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE HOME DEPOT THAT'S AWESOME NEWS, BUT AGAIN, THAT WORKFORCE AND HOW DO WE STAFF THOSE BIG WINS THAT THE CITIES GETTING, I THINK IT DOES PROVIDE THEIR WORKFORCE HOUSING EXACTLY YOU MENTIONED.
STILL BEING MARKET RATE HOUSING, BUT STILL PROVIDING WORKFORCE.
>> THE TWO BUILDINGS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, THE SQUARE ONES, HOW ARE THEY CONNECTED TO THE REST OF IT?
[01:55:01]
>> THE TWO BUILDINGS ON THE EAST, HOW ARE THEY CONNECTED TO THE REST OF THE COMPLEX?
>> FROM A VEHICULAR STANDPOINT ACCESS THEY WOULD HAVE SEPARATE ACCESS TO THE OUTER LOOP AND I FORGET THE SIDE STREET THAT'S THROUGH THERE, BUT THAT WOULD BE THOSE MAIN POINTS OF VEHICULAR ACCESS.
THERE WOULD BE THE INTENT TO PUT SOME WALKING TRAILS THROUGH THE DAM AREA AND SO THERE WOULD BE OPEN SPACE THAT CONNECTS THE DEVELOPMENTS.
BUT FROM A VEHICLE STANDPOINT THAT WERE THAT DASHED LINE IS ON THE SCREEN HERE.
SO CROSSING THAT WITH ACCESS IS GOING TO BE CHALLENGING, BUT PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES AND THINGS LIKE THAT AREN'T OFF THE TABLE.
>> I SEE ONE OF THE ENTRANCES FROM, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, IS ALPHA FOSTER CROSSING, ARE THEY OBLIGATED TO WIDEN THAT AREA RIGHT THERE? IT'S TWO LANES.
>> I WOULD ASSUME THAT ENGINEERING IF THIS THING PROGRESSES, WOULD PROBABLY WANT TO SEE SOME TIA OR SOME TRAFFIC MEMO.
WE'D BE HAPPY TO OBLIGED BY THAT AND SEE IF THERE ARE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WOULD BE WARRANTED FROM THE INCREASE IN TRAFFIC.
WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THAT FAR [LAUGHTER]
>> INTO THAT, BUT THAT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING WE WOULD DO, IS WE SUBMIT PRELIMINARY PLOTS AND GO THROUGH THAT ENGINEERING PROCESS.
>> AS THE MAYOR SAID, THIS SPOT IS IDEAL FOR APARTMENTS.
THERE'S SOME OTHER SPOTS WE PUT APARTMENTS AND APPROVED AND WE DIDN'T APPROVE THAT WEREN'T IDEAL. THIS IS IDEAL.
MAINLY TOTALLY FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE COLLEGE BEING RIGHT ACROSS THE HIGHWAY.
I'LL HAVE TO PASS THIS COMPLEX EVERY DAY.
>> WE DON'T HAVE AN ENCORE SUBSTATION OR A BATCH PLANT, [LAUGHTER]
>> BUT 30-FOOT GRADES IS THE BEST THAT I CAN DO, I'M SORRY.
>> I'M JUST GLAD YOU CALLED IT A SUBSTATION AND NOT A POWER PLANT.
>> I'LL JUST GO ON RECORD FOR BRINGING THE COLLEGE HERE IN THE LOT MORE THAN HOUSING.
WE HAVE TONS AND TONS OF APARTMENTS.
WE HAVE RATE-ASSISTED INCOME APARTMENTS, TWO OR THREE MORE COMING DOWN THE PIPE WITHIN A TWO MILE RADIUS.
WE GOT PLAYING SPLINT THAT CAMPUS, BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO SUPPORT THAT CAMPUS IS EVERYTHING THAT STUDENTS LOVE ABOUT GOING TO COLLEGE, HAVING A MEETING PLACES, RESTAURANTS, ENTERTAINMENT VENUES, THEATERS.
YOU'VE GOT AN OPPORTUNITY HERE.
THAT'S REALLY LIKE TO SEE A LOT MORE THAN APARTMENTS. IT'S ALL I'VE GOT.
>> I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS WHICH WE CAN JUST TAKE IT TO A VOTE.
BUT THE REALITY IS PEOPLE AREN'T GOING GO TO ANY VENUE WHEN THEY HAVE TO GO 30 FEET DOWN A SIDEWALK TO EVEN SEE THE PLACE.
I THINK THAT THE THING WE'RE MISSING HERE WHEN WE LOOK AT A ZONING CONCEPT FOR THIS LOCATION IS ONCE AGAIN, A RAISED CONSERVATION LAKE THAT CAN'T BE TOUCHED.
THEN A CROSS-SECTION OF THE COLLIN COUNTY OUTER LOOP IN THAT FRONTAGE ROAD WHERE IT DROPS OFF OR WALGREENS OR A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT COULD NOT EVEN BE SEEN DOWN IN THE HOLE.
WHATEVER YOU'RE GOING TO DEVELOP THERE.
IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE SITE TRACTION, OR THE THE PUBLIC CAN'T SEE THE PLACE.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BUNCH OF COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS THAT ARE EMPTY.
SAME PROBLEM WE'VE HAD AT 75 AT THE EXIT AT 455 FOR YEARS NOW.
A COMMERCIAL BUILDING THAT DOESN'T HAVE GOOD ACCESS, GOOD FRONTAGE, GOOD SIGNAGE, AND IT NEVER WORKED.
>> YEAH. THEY'LL BE ASKING FOR 75 FOOT SIGNAGE THERE ANYTHING.
I DROVE BY THIS, YOU CAN EVEN SEE THIS PROPERTY REALLY FROM THE HIGHWAY.
YOU HAVE TO GET OFF ON THE OUTER LOOP TO EVEN.
>> YOU DON'T SEE IT UNTIL YOU PASS IT.
>> I'M ALL IN FAVOR OF IT AS WELL.
I THINK THIS IS GOOD USE FOR IT.
>> I'LL BE RIGHT HERE IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.
