CONSIDER DISCUSS ACTION ON A REQUEST TO AMEND AN EXISTING PLAN DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE 648-2014 ON 12.2 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF HACKBERRY DRIVE 160 PLUS OR MINUS FEET EAST OF HIGHWAY 75 TO ALLOW FOR BUILDING MATERIALS HARDWARE INDOORS WITH MODIFIED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

THE APPLICANT IS Q.

SEMINOLE ANNA TOWN CENTER L.P..

I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:05 P.M..

MISS MECKE. A ZONING CASE IS TO AMEND AN EXISTING PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

THE BUILDING MATERIALS, HARDWARE [INAUDIBLE] IS ALREADY A PERMITTED USE, AND THERE ARE EXISTING STANDARDS FOR THE GARDEN CENTER.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO REDUCE THEIR PARKING FROM FOUR SPACES PER 1000FT² TO THREE PER 1000FT², WHICH IS A REDUCTION OF 136 SPACES.

THEY'RE STILL PROVIDING OVER 400 SPACES.

AND THEN IN THE REGULATIONS RECOMMENDING TO SPECIFY WHICH AREAS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND THAT ANY RENTAL EQUIPMENT CANNOT BE PARKED IN THE REQUIRED PARKING.

THEY ARE ALSO REQUESTING TO INCREASE THE MAXIMUM WALL SIGNAGE BASED OFF OF THEIR BUSINESS PRACTICE.

AND THEN THEY'RE REQUESTING TO AMEND THE STIPULATIONS FOR THE GARDEN CENTER.

BY INCREASING THE GARDEN CENTER SQUARE FOOTAGE, THE REMOVING THE WALL REQUIREMENT UNDERNEATH THE FENCING AND THEN REMOVING THE LANDSCAPING AROUND THE EDGE OF THE GARDEN CENTER.

AND THEN WE ALSO DISCUSSED ADDING ACCESSORY USES TO MAKE SURE THAT FUTURE STAFF CODE COMPLIANCE DON'T COME BACK LATER AND SAY, HEY, YOU'RE NOT MEETING. AND THEN THEY AGREED TO ENHANCE LANDSCAPING ALONG HACKBERRY AND BUDDY HAYES BOULEVARD, AS WELL AS ENHANCING THE LANDSCAPING AROUND THE SHED.

THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO [INAUDIBLE].

IF THE COMMISSION VOTES IN FAVOR IS AS PROVIDED IN YOUR STAFF REPORT, WE RECEIVE ONE LETTER IN FAVOR [INAUDIBLE].

APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE IS HERE WITH A BRIEF PRESENTATION.

DO ANY COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? NO. DOES THE APPLICANT WISH TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION? GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS JORDAN CORBETT WITH KIMLEY-HORN.

I'M THE SITE DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR.

SERVE HOME DEPOT HERE IN THE DALLAS AND HOUSTON MARKET.

SO. VERY EXCITED TO BRING HOME DEPOT.

THEY'RE EXCITED TO HAVE THIS PROJECT.

HOPEFULLY BE OPEN SOON.

SO HERE'S JUST THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN.

IT'S JUST THE CONCEPT PLAN THAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU BOTH THE ZOOMED IN VERSION AS WELL AS THE ZOOMED OUT VERSION.

YOU CAN SEE THE MAIN ACCESS POINTS ARE OFF OF NORTH CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY, HACKBERRY AND ALSO BETTY HAYES.

SO WE REALLY WORKED WITH HOME DEPOT'S IN-HOUSE ENGINEER AS WELL AS OUR OWN IN THE CITY TO TRY TO BEST MAKE SURE WE HAVE GREAT ACCESS, BUT ALSO LOOKING AT THE GRADING. THAT'S WHY YOU'LL KIND OF SEE THE HOME DEPOT IS KIND OF ORIENTED A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY FROM THE REST OF THE CENTER IS MAINLY TO HELP OUR GRADING IN THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY. SO OUR OUR MAIN DRIVE CONNECTS BUDDY HAYES.

UM, YOU CAN SEE THE TWO KIND OF OUTPARCELS IN FRONT OF HOME DEPOT.

AT ONE POINT IN TIME, WE HAD THE SHONEY'S PARKING, BUT AS WE GOT FURTHER INTO THE WEEDS OF LAYING OUT THE SITE AND GETTING THOSE KIND OF NEW PROTOTYPICAL STANDARDS, WHICH I'LL TOUCH ON JUST A SECOND, UM, KIND OF REALIZED THAT HOME DEPOT DOESN'T NEED 550 PLUS PARKING SPACES.

IT'S A WAREHOUSE.

A LOT OF THEIR USES INSIDE THE BUILDING ARE BULK IN NATURE.

AND SO WHILE IT IS A BIG BOX, IT'S NOT AS DENSE AS A COSTCO OR A KROGER OR H-E-B OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

SO I TOUCHED ON THE PROTOTYPICAL CHANGES.

SO YOU'LL SEE IN FRONT OF THE LUMBER CANOPY ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE STORE, ALL THOSE ANGLES.

THERE'S A WHOLE ROW OF ANGLED SPACES THAT'S SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PRO OR THE CONTRACTOR.

ABOUT 80% OF HOME DEPOT'S REVENUE COMES FROM THE CONTRACTOR VERSUS TYPICAL CUSTOMER.

SO IF YOU GO TO ANY OTHER HOME DEPOT STORE, THERE ARE STANDARD PERPENDICULAR SPACE, USUALLY 8 TO 10 OF THEM.

[00:10:07]

SO THEY'RE ALL ANGLED AT 45 DEGREES AND THERE IS A THREE FOOT DIVIDING LINE IN BETWEEN THEM, BUT IT ALLOWS FOR A CONTRACTOR WITH A TRAILER TO PULL THROUGH [INAUDIBLE].

SO JUST QUICKLY TOUCHING ON WHAT LAUREN JUST WENT OVER.

SOME DIFFERENT VISUALS.

SO THE EXISTING ZONING ALLOWED FOR A GARDEN CENTER, JUST NOT THE SIZE OF THE NEEDS IN PROPORTION TO THE MAIN BUILDING.

SO THE REQUEST IS TO INCREASE THAT FROM 25% TO 27% JUST TO ALLOW FOR HOME DEPOT'S PROTOTYPICAL GARDEN CENTER SIZE.

THE GARDEN CENTER SCREENING AND THE FAÇADE.

THE REQUIREMENT IS LIKE A FOUR FOOT TALL BLOCK WALL ALONG THE ENTIRE PERIMETER OF THE FAÇADE WITH FENCING ON TOP OF THAT.

JUST VERY COSTLY BECAUSE IT DOES HAVE SUCH A LARGE GARDEN CENTER, SAY IN COMPARISON TO THE WALMART.

AND SO THE WHAT WE WORK WITH STAFF ON TO TRY TO PROVIDE AS AN ALTERNATE IS PROVIDE MASONRY COLUMNS TO TRY TO GIVE THE NOD TO IT, BUT HAVE THE FENCING MORE PROTOTYPICAL TO WHAT HOME DEPOT TYPICALLY WANT.

AND THEN THE PARKING THE REQUEST AS WE STARTED DIVING INTO IT.

BASICALLY, IF WE HAD FOUR PER 1,000, THE REQUIREMENT WOULD BE 540 MINIMUM PARKING SPACES.

WE ONLY NEED 409.

THAT'S BASED OFF HOME DEPOT'S OWN INTERNAL MODEL, WHICH BASICALLY IS BASED OFF OF THEIR REVENUE PROJECTIONS FOR THE STORE.

AND SO IF WE GO TO THREE PER 1,000, THAT GETS US CLOSER TO THE REQUIREMENT.

BUT THEN WE'RE STILL PROVIDING 453 [INAUDIBLE] FOR CUSTOMERS AND EMPLOYEES.

AND THEN IF YOU INCLUDE ALL THE ACCESSORY RESERVE SPACES, IT ACTUALLY DOES TOTAL 500.

AND THEN AGAIN, [INAUDIBLE] YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? GO AHEAD. THANK YOU. ON THE MAP.

CAN YOU PULL THE MAP UP AGAIN REAL QUICK IF YOU DON'T MIND.

YEAH, THERE YOU GO. [INAUDIBLE] YEAH.

WHERE. WHERE IS THE TRUCK? WHAT ARE THE TRUCKS GO TO WHEN THEY DROP OFF THE SUPPLIES IN THE REAR SEMIS? YES. SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE BUILDING BACK BEHIND IT, THERE'S A LITTLE SQUARE SLASH RECTANGLE THERE.

THAT'S WHAT WE CALL THE LUMBER PAD.

AND IT'S JUST A MORE BEEFY SECTION OF CONCRETE.

THAT'S WHERE THE LUMBER DELIVERIES COME.

BUT THEN THERE'S ALSO OTHER DELIVERIES BACK BEHIND THE STORE.

OKAY. AND YOU HAVE ENOUGH ROOM THERE TO GET IN AND OUT, LOOKS LIKE? YEP. SO WE'VE RUN A TRUCK TURN ANALYSIS ON THE BUDDY HAYES ACCESS POINTS THERE.

AND THEN THERE'S ALSO YOU CAN SEE THE CIRCLE BY THE ACTUAL LOADING DOCK ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

THAT'S A 100 FOOT DIAMETER.

OKAY. THAT'S ENOUGH FOR A TRUCK TO DO A TURNAROUND.

OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ARE THERE ANY SPEAKER CARDS FOR THIS ITEM? OKAY. THANK YOU, SIR.

I WILL NOW CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:13 P.M..

AND CONFINE ALL COMMENTS TO THE COMMISSION AND STAFF.

IS THERE A MOTION FOR ITEM NUMBER 27? I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

I'LL SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL BY COMMISSIONER BLANSETT.

A SECOND BY MYSELF.

ALL IN FAVOR? AND MYSELF.

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUS.

I HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL FROM COMMISSIONER MARTIN.

ITEM NUMBER 30.

CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING.

CONSIDER OR DISCUSS ACTION ON A REQUEST TO REZONE 18.8 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES LOCATED ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF NORTH POWELL PARKWAY AND ROSAMOND PARKWAY FROM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE 797-2018 TO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO ALLOW FOR A NON RESIDENTIAL AND MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENCE DEVELOPMENT WITH MODIFIED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

THE APPLICANT IS ROSAMOND POWELL INVESTMENTS, LLC.

I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:16 P.M..

MADAM PRESIDENT, I'VE GOT A CONFLICT ON THIS ONE.

OUR COMPANY WAS LOOKING AT IT A WHILE BACK AND SO I'LL NEED TO RECUSE MYSELF FROM ANY VOTING OR COMMENTING ON THIS.

OKAY, SO BE IT.

MR. TITTLE.

GOOD EVENING. SO BACK IN 2018, THE CURRENT ZONING WAS APPROVED AND ADOPTED FOR A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT RESTRICTED COMMERCIAL ZONING.

WITHIN THAT ZONING, THERE WAS A STIPULATION FOR TO RESERVE A MINIMUM OF EIGHT ACRES FOR COMMERCIAL.

AFTER THAT, IN 2021, THE CITY OF ANNA 2050 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND FUTURE LAND USE MAP WAS APPROVED AND ADOPTED, FURTHER HIGHLIGHTING THE DESIRE FOR COMMERCIAL FOR THIS PARTICULAR LOT.

THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST IS TO HAVE A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WITH THE BASE ZONING OF MF-2 WITH C-1 AS WELL.

THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THE COMMERCIAL TRACT THAT THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING IS TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF COMMERCIAL LAND TO A MINIMUM OF 4.5 ACRES, INCREASE THE MAX HEIGHT OF THE ONE STORY TO 30FT AND PROHIBIT SOME SPECIFIC USES FROM THE C-1 RESTRICTED COMMERCIAL.

FOR THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THE MF-2 TRACT THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING IS TO ALLOW A MAX HEIGHT OF THREE STORY 45FT, WITH THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTION THAT THE MULTIFAMILY RESIDENCE BUILDINGS THAT ARE ADJACENT TO THE SINGLE FAMILY ALONG THE WESTERN PROPERTY BOUNDARY LINE WILL BE LIMITED TO TWO STORIES 35FT BETWEEN 45FT AND 60FT FROM THE PROPERTY LINE.

REDUCE THE REQUIRED PARKING FOR ONE BEDROOM UNITS FROM TWO SPACES TO ONE PER DWELLING UNIT.

REDUCE THE GUEST PARKING TO 0.20 SPACE PER DWELLING UNIT AND REDUCE THE PERCENTAGE OF REQUIRED COVERED PARKING TO 50%. AND REDUCE THE LANDSCAPE SETBACK ALONG ROSAMOND PARKWAY TO 15FT.

ALLOW ONE TRASH COMPACTOR ON SITE PROVIDED THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE PROVIDING THE RESIDENTS OF VALET WASTE SERVICE.

AND REQUESTING THAT 25% OF THE MULTIFAMILY TRACT BE DEDICATED AS OPEN SPACE AS DEFINED IN THE CITY OF ANNA CODE OF ORDINANCES RATHER THAN CALCULATING IT PER BEDROOM COUNT AND SQUARE FOOTAGE.

THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND FUTURE LAND USE MAP CALLS OUT FOR COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL, IF I CAN.

THIS WAS ALSO PROVIDED TO YOU IN YOUR IN YOUR PACKET ALONG WITH THE STAFF REPORT.

SO I'M JUST GOING TO READ THIS OFF TO YOU.

THE CITY OF ANNA WHEN LOOKING AT LAND USE AND REZONING.

THE CITY OF ANNA WILL USE THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AS ITS PRIMARY POLICY DOCUMENT FOR DECISIONS RELATED TO THE PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT AND THE DESIRED FUTURE COMMUNITY CHARACTER OF ANNA.

DECISIONS ON REZONING AND SUBDIVISION OF LAND, PROJECT DESIGN AND THE PROVISION OF INCENTIVES AND OTHER ASPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE MADE CONSISTENT WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

INVESTMENTS BY THE PROPERTY SECTOR SHOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLANS DIRECTIONS IN TERMS OF THE SCALE MIX OF LAND USES AND DEVELOPMENT CHARACTER.

AND LASTLY, THE NEW DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT IN ANNA SHOULD CREATE A RANGE OF LOCATIONS FOR BUSINESSES THAT PROVIDE JOBS TO ANNA RESIDENTS.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR BUSINESS GROWTH AND SUCCESS.

LONG TERM ECONOMIC VIABILITY AND THE GOODS AND SERVICES DESIRED BY ANNA'S NEIGHBORS AND RESIDENTS FOR THOSE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.

[00:20:09]

THE REQUESTED ZONING IS NOT IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE ANNA 2050 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE ZONING THAT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2018.

STAFF DID RECEIVE ONE LETTER IN OPPOSITION AND ONE NEUTRAL.

IF THE COMMISSION VOTES IN FAVOR OF THE ZONING REQUEST, STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL BE SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS THAT WERE WITHIN STAFF'S REPORT TO YOU.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE WITH A BRIEF PRESENTATION AS WELL.

DO ANY COMMISSIONERS HAVE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? NO. DOES THE APPLICANT WISH TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION? GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS.

MY NAME IS BRITTON CHURCH.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING.

I'M WITH ASCENT LAND INVESTMENTS AND WE ARE A LAND DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENT COMPANY LOCATED HERE IN NORTH TEXAS THAT MAKES INVESTMENTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF TEXAS.

PRIOR TO THAT, I WAS A PART OF A MIXED USE AND MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT COMPANY FOR 15 YEARS THAT DID DEVELOPMENTS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.

THIS EVENING WE'RE HERE TO DISCUSS.

IT'S ACTUALLY A 17.25 ACRE TRACT AFTER THE RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION THAT WE WOULD DEDICATE FOR ROSAMOND PARKWAY EXTENSION.

AND WE DID A GREAT JOB ON THE INTRODUCTION OF THE SITE.

YOU KNOW, THE LOCATION OF THE SITE.

IT'S JUST NORTH OF ANNA MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THE FUTURE ANNA ISD BUILDING.

IT IS SHADOW BEND IS LOCATED TO THE WEST AND THE NORTH OF OUR SITE.

AND THEN WE HAVE VACANT LAND AND RAILROAD TRACK TO THE EAST OF THE SITE.

WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF THE HISTORY.

I WANTED TO DIVE INTO THAT JUST A LITTLE BIT IN MORE DETAIL.

THIS SITE WAS ORIGINALLY ZONED WITH THE SHADOW BEND DEVELOPMENT AND AS A PART OF THAT REZONING, THERE WAS A COMMERCIAL REQUIREMENT FOR ANYWHERE OF 8 TO 20 ACRES OF COMMERCIAL LAND TO BE DEDICATED FOR COMMERCIAL USE AT THIS CORNER, ONE OF THE COMPONENTS THAT WAS NOT OUTLINED IN THE PD WAS HOW THAT LAND WAS GOING TO BE GEOMETRICALLY SHAPED.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE SEEN IS THAT THE GEOMETRY OF THE SITE WAS SET WHEN SHADOW BEND DEVELOPED AND PLATTED THEIR PROPERTY.

AND YOU'LL SEE THIS ON OUR SITE PLAN.

AS WE HAVE BEEN IN THE MARKET TALKING WITH COMMERCIAL DEVELOPERS AND RETAIL DEVELOPERS, THE SITE DOES NOT BODE WELL FOR A CONVENTIONAL COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND WE'VE OWNED THE SITE FOR QUITE A WHILE AND BACK IN AUGUST OF 22 WE CAME BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL AND DID A WORK SESSION WHERE WE PROPOSED A HIGHER DENSITY RESIDENTIAL USE ON THE BACK 12.5 ACRES OF THE SITE.

THAT WOULD BECOME A BUFFER BETWEEN THE COMMERCIAL AND THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

THAT MEETING WENT WELL AND WE RECEIVED GOOD FEEDBACK FROM THE COUNCIL.

WE ENDED UP JUST PAUSING ON THOSE PLANS JUST DUE TO WHERE THE MARKET FLUCTUATION WAS WITH INTEREST RATES RISING.

AND THEN MOST RECENTLY BACK IN MAY OF THIS SUMMER, WE CAME BACK BEFORE THE COMMISSION OR BEFORE THE COUNCIL AND HAD A WORK SESSION WITH THEM AND THERE WE RECEIVED GOOD FEEDBACK AND WE RECEIVED COMMENTS.

AND SO THE PLAN THAT WE ARE PRESENTING THIS EVENING IS RESPONDING TO COUNCIL'S COMMENTS FROM THAT WORK SESSION AND THAT THE COMMENTS THAT WE'VE RECEIVED FROM STAFF OVER THE LAST NUMBER OF MONTHS.

SO AS WE LOOKED AT THIS SITE, THERE WERE A NUMBER OF OVERRIDING PRINCIPLES THAT WE CONSIDERED AS WE WERE APPROACHING OUR PLANNING.

FIRST WAS THAT WE WANTED TO RESPECT THE SINGLE FAMILY ADJACENCY.

WE REALIZED THAT THERE ARE SINGLE FAMILY TO OUR PROPERTY LINE AND WE'VE BEEN VERY THOUGHTFUL IN OUR APPROACH ON HOW WE WOULD BECOME A BUFFER FROM THE SINGLE FAMILY TO THE COMMERCIAL THAT WE'RE PROPOSING.

SECOND, WE WANTED TO RETAIN AS MUCH RETAIL AS POSSIBLE AND NOT ONLY THAT, HAVE THE CORRECT ALLOWABLE USES.

AND SO ALTHOUGH WE'VE SHRUNK THE RETAIL SIZE, WE HAVE ALSO RESTRICTED OURSELVES ON ALLOWABLE RETAIL USES.

CURRENTLY UNDER THE EXISTING ZONING, THERE'S A VAST NUMBER OF RETAIL USES THAT ARE ALLOWED BY RIGHT.

WE'VE REMOVED THOSE.

IN ADDITION TO THOSE, WE'VE REMOVED A NUMBER OF A NUMBER OF OTHER USES THAT WILL LOOK AT.

WELL, ACTUALLY OUR NEXT WE WANTED TO ADHERE TO THE UNDERLYING CODE WHERE POSSIBLE.

WE DID NOT MAKE ADJUSTMENTS FOR ADJUSTMENTS SAKE.

WE ONLY DIVERTED FROM THE ORDNANCE WHERE IT MADE WISE PLANNING CHOICES AND ALLOWED US TO INTEGRATE WELL INTO THE COMMUNITY.

AND THAT'S THE LAST THING WE WANTED TO PROPOSE A DEVELOPMENT THAT INTEGRATED WELL INTO THE FABRIC OF WHAT IS EXISTING OUT THERE.

SO ATTACHED HERE YOU WILL SEE A COPY OF OUR PROPOSED SITE PLAN.

AND WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS TWO DIFFERENT LOT AREAS.

YOU HAVE THE COMMERCIAL CORNER AT THE CORNER OF ROSAMOND AND POWELL, AND THEN YOU HAVE A 12.5 ACRE MULTIFAMILY COMPONENT ON THE BACKSIDE.

[00:25:08]

WE HAVE CURB CUT ALLOWANCES FROM ROBINSON TO OUR NORTH AND FROM ROSAMOND PARKWAY TO OUR SOUTH.

AND WE WANTED TO CONTINUE TO CREATE THIS BUFFER BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL AND THE COMMERCIAL.

AND SO THAT ALLOTTED THIS FOUR POINT, IT'S A LITTLE OVER 4.6 ACRE COMMERCIAL CORNER TO THE SITE.

ADDITIONALLY, YOU HAVE THE MULTIFAMILY ON THE BACK, 12.5 ACRES AND THAT IS A 315 UNIT MULTIFAMILY COMMUNITY AND A MIXTURE OF TWO AND THREE STORY BUILDINGS.

THE YELLOW BUILDINGS THAT YOU SEE, THERE ARE TWO STORIES.

THE BROWN BUILDINGS ARE THREE STORIES, AND THE LIGHT BROWN AREA THAT YOU SEE ARE TUCKED UNDER GARAGES.

WE'LL COME BACK TO THIS SLIDE IN A MOMENT, BUT I WANTED TO JUST TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR REQUEST THIS EVENING.

WE ARE HERE TO CREATE A NEW PD WITH TWO SUBDISTRICTS UTILIZING C-1 AND MF-2.

UM, WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE ARE SEEKING.

SOME ARE MORE RESTRICTIVE, SOME ARE ACTUALLY PROVIDE SOME RELIEF.

AND SO ON THE COMMERCIAL ADJUSTMENTS, WE ARE RESTRICTING OUR USES.

SO WE'VE REMOVED THE RIGHT OF ALL RESIDENTIAL USES, ALL UTILITY USES LIKE DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES, DISCOUNT DEPARTMENT STORES, WASHETERIA MOTEL, HOTEL, MOTEL LOUNGE, WHICH IS CURRENTLY AN ALLOWABLE USE.

WAREHOUSE USES AND OUTSIDE STORAGE.

WE ARE REQUESTING THE HEIGHT TO BE INCREASED FROM 25, WHICH IS THE BASE HEIGHT UNDER THE C-1 ZONING TO 30, WHICH ALIGNS WITH OUR CURRENT COMMERCIAL STANDARDS.

ONE THING TO NOTE ON THAT IS OUR CURRENT HEIGHT UNDER OUR EXISTING ZONING IS 35FT ACROSS THE ENTIRE SITE.

SO THAT 30 FOOT INCREASE IS ACTUALLY A FIVE FOOT REDUCTION IN WHAT'S ALLOWED BY RIGHT UNDER OUR EXISTING ZONING RIGHT NOW.

AND THEN THE LAST THING THERE ON THE COMMERCIAL IS WE WANTED TO UTILIZE A CENTRALIZED REFUSE FACILITY, SEE IF WE HAD MULTIPLE RETAIL USERS WE WANTED A CENTRALIZED LOCATION WHERE ALL THE TRASH WENT INSTEAD OF HAVING MULTIPLE TRASH LOCATIONS PER BUILDING.

THAT JUST IS EASIER FOR TRASH PICKUP.

IT CONSOLIDATES WASTE IN ONE LOCATION THAT WE HAVE CLEAN UP AND WE WOULD HAVE AGREEMENTS ACROSS THOSE RETAIL OWNERS TO ENSURE THAT THAT WAS MAINTAINED PROPERLY.

AND THEN ON THE MULTIFAMILY SIDE, WE DO HAVE SOME ADJUSTMENTS AGAIN SOME ARE MORE RESTRICTIVE, SOME ARE LESS RESTRICTIVE AS IT RELATES ON SETBACKS, HIGH PARKING SCREENING, OPEN SPACE AND REFUSE FACILITY.

AND I'D LIKE TO WALK THROUGH THOSE NOW.

AND AS YOU LOOK AT THE MULTI-FAMILY PARCEL, IT IS A 315 UNIT COMMUNITY, WHICH IS JUST UNDER 25 UNITS PER ACRE, WHICH IS THE ALLOWABLE DENSITY UNDER THE EXISTING MF-2, THE MAX ALLOWABLE DENSITY UNDER THE EXISTING MF-2 ORDINANCE.

THIS IS A MID-TIER DENSITY FOR THIS TYPE OF PRODUCT.

I WOULD NOT CONSIDER THIS PRODUCT OVERLY DENSE FROM A MULTIFAMILY STANDPOINT.

THE OTHER AREA THAT WE WANTED TO LOOK AT WAS THE SETBACKS AND REALLY TAKE A MORE PROGRAMMATIC APPROACH ON HOW WE PLANNED THIS SITE WITH SOME OF THE UNIQUE GEOMETRY AND OUR RESIDENTIAL ADJACENCY.

AND SO THE FIRST AREA TO LOOK AT IS ALONG ROSAMOND.

WHAT WE WANTED TO DO IS REALLY CREATE A VERY NICE STREETSCAPE THERE.

AND SO WITH THAT, WE HAVE REQUESTED, INSTEAD OF A 25 FOOT SETBACK, A 20 FOOT SETBACK, AND WHAT YOU SEE WHAT THAT DOES IS ALLOWS US TO PUSH THE BUILDINGS A LITTLE BIT FURTHER FORWARD AND THEN INTERNALIZE ALL OF THE PARKING.

AND SO AS YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN ROSAMOND, YOU DON'T SEE A POOL OF PARKING.

YOU SEE NICE, ARCHITECTURALLY DESIGNED MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS.

ALONG POWELL PARKWAY WE'RE ADHERING TO THE EXISTING 50 FOOT SETBACK WHILE ALSO INTERNALIZING THAT PARKING.

SO YOU ALMOST HAVE AN 80 FOOT GREEN SPACE ALONG THE MULTIFAMILY THERE FROM WHERE HIGHWAY 5 IS CURRENTLY BACK TO OUR 50 FOOT SETBACK ALONG ROBINSON, WE HAVE A 35 FOOT SETBACK AND THEN AN AREA THAT WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT IS HOW DO WE RESPECT OUR RESIDENTIAL ADJACENCY ADJACENT TO US? WITH SHADOW BEND, WE HAVE A MIXTURE OF ONE AND TWO STORY SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.

AND SO WE HAVE A 45 FOOT BUILDING SETBACK ALONG OUR BACK PROPERTY LINE.

AND WHERE WE HAVE ANY BUILDING WITHIN 60 FOOT OF THE PROPERTY LINE WE'RE LIMITED TO TWO STORIES.

IN ADDITION TO THAT LIMITATION OF TWO STORIES, THERE'S NO BALCONIES ALLOWED TO FACE THE SINGLE FAMILY.

AND SO THERE'S A PROHIBITION ON BALCONIES ON THE SECOND FLOOR.

WE ARE ALSO INCREASING OUR TREES.

TREE PLANTING ALONG THAT PROPERTY LINE FROM ONE TREE EVERY 30FT INSTEAD OF ONE TREE EVERY 40FT.

AND SO WE ARE REALLY TRYING TO RESPECT WHAT IS CURRENTLY THERE AS IT RELATES TO HEIGHT.

[00:30:02]

WE'RE ACTUALLY NOT ASKING FOR AN INCREASE IN HEIGHT FROM THE BASE MF-2.

WE'RE ASKING FOR AN INCREASE IN THE ALLOTMENT OF STORIES.

SO WE'RE ASKING FOR THREE STORIES, 45FT IN HEIGHT, WHICH WOULD ACCOMMODATE A UNIT THAT HAD A NINE FOOT PLATE AND WE CAN MEET THAT 45 FOOT HEIGHT REQUIREMENT. ALONG THE BACK PORTION OF THE SITE WHERE WE'RE CLOSER TO THE SINGLE FAMILY.

IT IS TWO STORIES ARE 35FT IN HEIGHT, AND THAT 35FT IN HEIGHT ALIGNS WITH WHAT'S ALLOWED CURRENTLY ACROSS THE ENTIRE SITE.

AND SO REALLY TRYING TO LIMIT THE IMPACT OF OUR RESIDENTIAL ADJACENCY AND RESPECT WHAT THEY HAVE THERE THEY WERE FIRST, A FEW SMALL THINGS TO OUR SITE IS ACTUALLY LOWER AND SO WE'RE ABOUT THREE AND A HALF TO FOUR FEET LOWER THAN THE RESIDENTIAL ADJACENCY.

WE HAVE A SCREENING WALL THAT'S ALREADY IN PLACE.

SO DOING TRYING TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS AS WE APPROACH THAT ADJACENCY.

AS WE LOOK AT THE OPEN SPACE, WE UNDERSTAND THAT OPEN SPACE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

AND REALLY WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE IS JUST MAKE THE REQUIREMENT TO BE A PERCENTAGE OF THE SITE AND NOT HAVE IT FLUCTUATE BASED ON UNIT MIX.

SO WE'RE SAYING 25% OF THE OVERALL SITE WILL BE OPEN SPACE.

NOTE ON THAT OPEN SPACE THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THE GREEN SPACE BETWEEN THE PARKING AND THE BUILDINGS.

THAT'S NOT ALLOCATED TO THAT.

SO IT'S ACTUALLY MORE THAN 25%.

AND THEN FINALLY ON THIS SIDE, A CENTRALIZED REFUGE FACILITY.

THE CURRENT ORDINANCE HAS SOME UNIQUE LANGUAGE ABOUT HAVING REFUGE FACILITIES WITHIN A CERTAIN WALKING DISTANCE.

WE UTILIZE VALLEY TRASH SERVICE.

THEY PICK UP THE TRASH FROM THE TENANTS FRONT DOOR FIVE DAYS A WEEK.

IT IS STORED IN A CENTRALIZED 30 YARD COMPACTOR.

AND SO THAT'S HOW THESE APARTMENT COMMUNITIES FUNCTION AND OPERATE NOW.

LASTLY, WE JUST WANTED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION AROUND PARKING.

THERE WAS A I THINK SHE SAID ONE SPACE PER UNIT.

THAT IS NOT WHAT OUR PROPOSAL AND THAT'S NOT WHAT THE LANGUAGE READS.

UM, YOU KNOW HISTORICALLY CITY HAVE HAVE LOOKED AT PARKING ON A PER UNIT BASIS.

BUT OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS OR SO THE INDUSTRY HAS REALLY.

HOWEVER, THE ORDINANCE READ THE INDUSTRY LOOKS AT WHAT IS MY PER BED PARKING RATIO BECAUSE THAT ALLOWS YOUR FLUCTUATION OF UNIT MIX TO YOU'RE HITTING A PARKING RATIO THAT IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOUR UNIT.

AND SO WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS ONE PARKING SPACE PER BEDROOM.

SO EVERY PARKING SPACE, EVERY BEDROOM WILL HAVE ITS OWN DEDICATED PARKING SPACE, PLUS 0.2 SPACES PER UNIT FOR VISITOR PARKING.

AND SO A TOTAL PARKING WITH THIS IS ABOUT 1.57 PER UNIT.

AND THEN OF ALL OF THAT PARKING, 50% OF THE UNITS WILL HAVE AN ALLOCATED EITHER ATTACHED GARAGE OR CARPORT.

INCLUDED IN OUR SUBMISSION MATERIALS WAS A THIRD PARTY PARKING ANALYSIS CONDUCTED BY DESHAZO TANG.

THIS IS A TRAFFIC AND PARKING ENGINEER THAT DOES WORK THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY AND THEY HAVE A TON OF DATA ON WHAT IS ACTUAL DEMAND FOR PARKING.

THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS ARE HERE ON THIS CHART AND SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE CITY OF ANNA'S RECOMMENDATION, DESHAZO'S RECOMMENDATION, AND WE ARE IN BETWEEN WHAT THE CITY OF STANDARD IS AND WHAT THE DESHAZO RECOMMENDED REFERENCE IS.

SO I KNOW ELEVATIONS AREN'T A COMPONENT OF THIS REQUEST, BUT I WANTED TO PROVIDE JUST A QUICK ELEVATION TO SHOW WHAT WE ENVISIONED FOR THE SITE.

THIS WAS PRESENTED AT OUR COUNCIL WORK SESSION.

THIS CONCEPTUAL ELEVATION IS BASED OFF OF A COMMUNITY THAT I WAS INVOLVED IN IN STAFFORD, TEXAS, SOUTHWEST OF HOUSTON.

AND WE REALLY WANT TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE AN APPROPRIATE COMPOSITION OF MATERIALS AND BUILDING ARTICULATION.

AND SO IN OUR WORK WITH COUNCIL, WE HAVE WE WILL BE ENTERING INTO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO DEAL WITH MATERIALS AND BUILDING ARTICULATION.

BUT AND WE'RE WORKING ON THAT WITH STAFF NOW.

AND SO WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, THIS IS THE PRODUCT AT THE END OF THE DAY FROM THAT CONCEPT ELEVATION.

AND SO WHAT YOU CAN SEE HERE IS HOW THE BUILDING MEETS THE STREET.

IT PROVIDES A GREAT WALKABLE FEEL, THE PARKING IS INTERNALIZED AND JUST IS REALLY INVITING.

AND THEN AS YOU GO INTO THE INTERIOR PARKING COURTS, YOU HAVE GREAT BUILDING ARTICULATION.

YOU HAVE TUCK UNDER GARAGES, BALCONIES THROUGHOUT AND THEN JUST FANTASTIC INTERIOR AMENITY SPACES, REALLY TRYING TO CREATE MULTIPLE SPACES THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY IN WHICH THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS CAN GATHER.

AND SO I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS NOT IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT WAS PASSED THREE YEARS AFTER THE EXISTING ORDINANCE THAT WAS OUT THERE.

I THINK OUR ISSUE IS THE GEOMETRY OF THE SITE DOES NOT BODE WELL FOR COMMERCIAL.

AND SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WORKS FOR THE MARKET AND WORKS FOR THE SITE CONSTRAINTS THAT WE HAVE.

[00:35:05]

AND I'M HERE TO ADDRESS ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS MAY HAVE.

DOES ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THIS APPLICANT? GO AHEAD. YEAH, I DO.

THAT LAST SLIDE YOU HAVE UP THERE.

CAN YOU PULL IT UP REAL QUICK? YES, SIR.

IS THAT IS THAT WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE OR IS THAT JUST THE RENDERING? I MEAN, THIS IS THIS IS FROM THE PROJECT THAT WE BUILT IN STAFFORD, TEXAS.

SO THIS IS THE TYPE OF PROJECT THAT WE WOULD BE LOOKING TO HAVE.

I'M JUST I'M SHOWCASING WHAT AMENITIES IN THESE CLASS-A BUILDINGS NOW LOOK LIKE.

I WAS. MY QUESTION IS THE HVAC SYSTEMS, ARE THEY ON THE ROOF OR ARE THEY OUTSIDE? THIS ONE'S ON THE ROOF. THIS HAS HVAC SYSTEMS ON THE ROOF THAT ARE SCREENED.

AND SO I THINK YOU CAN SEE THOSE HVAC WELLS ARE ALL ON THE INTERIOR OF THE ROOF OR INTERIOR COURTYARDS.

SO NEVER STREET FACING, ALWAYS PARKING FACING.

OKAY, GREAT. WELL, THANK YOU.

YEAH. GO AHEAD, COMMISSIONER WALTER.

HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

SO YOU ADDRESSED THE PARKING AS ONE PER BED? YES, MA'AM. SO YOU REALIZE THERE'S SOMETIMES A COUPLE THAT SHARES A BED, A MAN AND A WOMAN, A HUSBAND AND A WIFE.

SO THAT TYPICALLY WOULD ADDRESS TWO CARS TO THAT ONE BED.

I MYSELF HAVE LIVED IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX.

I HAVE A TEENAGER THAT'S GOING TO BE DRIVING THAT WOULD PUT THREE CARS IN A TWO BEDROOM APARTMENT.

YES, MA'AM. THAT ALONE, IF THAT INSTANCE HAPPENS, MORE THAN HALF OF THAT BUILDING, YOU'RE ALREADY UNDER PARKING SPACES.

SO I THINK A LOT OF PARKING AND WHAT IS NEEDED FOR PARKING IS I MEAN, YOUR COMMENTS ARE WELL READ AND WELL RESPECTED ON THAT.

WE RUN THESE BUILDINGS AT ABOUT 92% OCCUPIED.

AND SO YOU ALREADY HAVE AN 8% BUFFER IN YOUR PARKING, GIVE OR TAKE.

AND THEN PARKING IS NOT FLATLINED.

IT'S BASED ON DEMAND OF USE OF THAT PARKING.

AND SO WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IS ON THE LOW SIDE, WE'VE GONE AS LOW AS 1.05 SPACES PER BED.

THIS ENDS UP BEING RIGHT UNDER 1.2 SPACES PER BED, WHICH I FEEL EXTREMELY CONFIDENT IS ADEQUATE.

PARKING ALSO IS NOT QUANTITATIVE ON IF I HAVE X NUMBER OF SPACES, I'M ADEQUATELY PARKED.

IT ALSO HAS TO DO WITH PARKING DISTRIBUTION THROUGHOUT YOUR COMMUNITY THAT EACH BUILDING HAS ADEQUATE PARKING WITHIN WALKING DISTANCES TO THEIR UNITS AND SO WE FULLY UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF PARKING.

I ALSO DON'T WANT TO OVER PARK BECAUSE WHEN I OVER PARK, IT'S WASTED CONCRETE.

IT'S AREAS THAT I COULD ALLOCATE TO OPEN SPACE.

AND SO, YES, I UNDERSTAND YOUR COMMENTS.

I THINK BASED ON THE DATA THAT WE HAVE AND WITH WITH ALL OF THE ON SITE DEMAND STUDIES THAT WE'VE DONE, WE FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT THESE ARE APPROPRIATE PARKING CALCULATIONS. MY NEXT ISSUE IS WITH THE TRASH AND THE ONE COMPACTOR.

YES, MA'AM. I'M A FAN OF COMPACTORS AND VALET, BUT VALET STILL KEEPS THE TRASH ON THE PROPERTY AND THEY UTILIZE THE ONE COMPACTOR TO PUT IT ALL IN THERE.

YES, MA'AM. WHEN A COMPACTOR GOES DOWN, WHAT DOES VALET DO WITH THAT TRASH? THEY STACK IT UP NEXT TO THE COMPACTOR, AND THEN THE SMELL LINGERS NEXT TO THE HOMEOWNERS THAT ARE ALREADY THERE AND USED TO THEIR NICE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE SMELLS THAT THEY'RE USED TO NOW.

I SEE THAT BEING A POTENTIAL ISSUE TO THOSE HOMEOWNERS AS WELL AS THE BUSINESSES THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PUT TOWARDS NORTH POWELL.

I'M NOT A FAN OF THAT.

SO THE COMPACTORS, THE COMPACTOR STAYS, THE UNIT LEAVES.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE COMPACTOR, THEN YOU JUST HAVE OPEN BINS.

THAT TRASH WOULD JUST BE OPEN BINS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

SO I GUESS HELP ME UNDERSTAND.

I GET THAT. BUT WHEN A COMPACTOR GOES DOWN AND VALETS REFILLING IT DAILY, HOW OFTEN IS THE COMPACTOR GOING TO GET PICKED UP? I'VE LIVED IN APARTMENTS COMPLEX BEFORE.

COMPACTOR HAS BEEN DOWN FOR 3 OR 4 DAYS BEFORE THEY GET BACK OUT THERE AND THEY FIX IT.

AND MEANWHILE, VALET IS STILL PICKING UP THE TRASH DAILY.

AND DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF UNITS, THAT'S 500, 600 BAGS EVERY DAY GETTING SET AT THAT COMPACTOR.

AND THEN THE CITY MAY OR MAY NOT COME PICK IT UP.

YEAH. TO ME, THAT'S JUST A POTENTIAL ISSUE.

IT COULD BE AN ISSUE.

I THINK THAT IF YOU HAVE A COMPACTOR YOU HAVE EIGHT BINS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, YOU'RE EITHER GOING TO HAVE TRASH IN THOSE EIGHT BINS SITTING THERE OR YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE IT IN A CENTRALIZED COMPACTOR.

AND SO IF THE COMPACTOR GOES DOWN AND IT'S DOWN FOR 4 OR 5 DAYS, WE DON'T I HAVEN'T HAD THAT HAPPEN ON ONE OF THE PROPERTIES I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN.

BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO ADDRESS FROM AN OPERATIONAL.

BUT IF YOU HAVE EIGHT BINS, THE CITY OF ANNA WILL COME PICK IT UP AND THAT WILL FALL BACK ON TO THEM TO HELP WITH THAT.

WITH THE COMPACTOR, I DON'T SEE THAT.

YEAH, TYPICALLY THE COMPACTORS ARE RUN BY THIRD PARTY VENDORS.

[00:40:03]

I PERSONALLY HAVE NOT HAD A COMPACTOR GO DOWN IN THAT WAY, SO I DON'T WE WOULD HAVE TO ADDRESS THAT AS AN OPERATIONAL ISSUE.

I DO THINK IT'S THE BETTER APPROACH TO HAVE A SINGLE TRASH LOCATION.

AND THEN VISIBILITY CONCERNS WITH US PUTTING THE SETBACKS, THE BUILDING SETBACKS, THE LANDSCAPING SETBACKS THAT YOU GUYS ARE ASKING FOR.

THAT'S A VERY HIGH TRAFFIC AREA WITH THE MIDDLE SCHOOL BEING THERE, THE HIGH SCHOOL JUST BEING DOWN THE ROAD FURTHER EAST AND THEN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL JKB JUST BEING UP NORTH OF IT, YEAH. TXDOT JUST RECENTLY PUT IN A RED LIGHT JUST NORTH FOR THE JKB TRAFFIC THAT'S CURRENTLY THERE.

NO TELLING WHEN TXDOT WILL PUT IN ANOTHER INTERSECTION.

IF ANYONE'S WORKED WITH TXDOT, WE KNOW HOW LONG THAT TAKES.

HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET ONE AT ROSAMOND EVENTUALLY, BUT IN THE MEANTIME, THAT'S GOING TO REALLY INCREASE THE TRAFFIC FLOW THERE.

I SEE THAT WE ARE ADDING THE SECOND LANE TO HELP FLOW THAT TRAFFIC BETTER, BUT ASKING FOR THESE SETBACKS, I SEE VISIBILITY CONCERNS NOT ONLY AT ROBINSON, BUT I SEE IT AT ROSAMOND PARKWAY TOO.

IT'S ALREADY A BLIND SPOT.

NOW WITH THAT CURVATURE COMING FROM THE NORTH DOWN TO THE SOUTH.

SO IF YOU WOULD ADHERE TO THE SETBACKS AND PUSH THESE PROPERTIES BACK FURTHER, IT WOULD ONLY HELP PEOPLE BE ABLE TO SEE THERE'S BEEN ACCIDENTS HERE IN FRONT OF THAT MIDDLE SCHOOL AND IN THIS AREA.

SO I'M NOT A FAN OF APPROVING A SMALLER SETBACK.

ONE COMPONENT ON ROSAMOND AS A PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT IS THAT WE WILL ACTUALLY BE REQUIRED AS A COMPONENT OF OUR DEVELOPMENT TO BUILD THE NORTHERN TWO LANES OF ROSAMOND ALL THE WAY TO HIGHWAY 5.

AND SO AS THE MULTIFAMILY GETS BUILT, WE WILL HAVE A NEW INTERSECTION CONNECTIVITY TO HIGHWAY 5.

WE ALSO HAVE THE TWO NORTHERN LANES BUILT, WHICH WILL MAKE THAT ROAD FEEL WAY MORE ACCESSIBLE FROM A VEHICULAR STANDPOINT.

YOU SEE THE PROPOSED MEDIAN OPENINGS.

WE HAVE A DECEL LANE AT THE RETAIL FACILITY AND REALLY WHERE YOUR VISIBILITY CONCERNS WOULD BE WOULD BE AT THE CORNER OF ROSAMOND AND HIGHWAY 5, WHERE THE RETAIL BUILDING IS SET BACK, ADHERING TO THE SETBACKS FOR THE COMMERCIAL LOCATION.

WE HAVE THE DECEL LANE THAT'S COMING INTO THE CURB CUT FOR THAT HARD CORNER.

AND SO THIS RIGHT OF WAY IS 120FT.

IT'S A WIDE RIGHT OF WAY.

AND SO FROM THE BACK OF CURB TO OUR BUILDING IS A LOT MORE THAN THIS 20 FOOT SETBACK.

WE HAVE A WIDE STREETSCAPE FROM THE BACK OF CURB TO OUR PROPERTY LINE.

WE CAN LOOK AT THAT. I THINK THAT THE 20 FOOT IT'S A 5 FOOT ADJUSTMENT.

WE DID INCREASE OUR LANDSCAPE BUFFER FROM 10 TO 15 ALONG ROSAMOND SO THAT WE HAVE A BIGGER LANDSCAPE BUFFER.

YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE IS SOMETHING WHERE THAT THAT BUILDING FACE, IF WE PUSH THAT BACK 5 FEET, THAT DOMINO EFFECTS ALL THE WAY INTO OUR PARKING.

AND IT REALLY WANTS TO MAKE YOUR PARKING GO IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING AT THAT POINT.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO I'D MUCH PREFER TO HAVE A VERY NICE STREETSCAPE AS ARCHITECTURAL INTEREST THAN A PROPERTY FENCE ON THE PROPERTY LINE WITH PARKING.

AND SO THAT THAT WAS OUR INTENT.

I THINK YOU CAN SEE THAT MULTIPLE DIFFERENT WAYS, BUT THAT WAS OUR INTENT BEHIND THE DESIGN.

OKAY. AND THEN ON THE TWO STORY BUILDINGS THAT YOU HAVE SHOWN IN YELLOW, I DO APPRECIATE THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PUT A BALCONY, BUT THEY ARE GOING TO STILL HAVE WINDOWS BACK THERE. A TWO STORY FACILITY IN COMPARISON TO A TWO STORY HOME IS USUALLY 20 TO 25FT IN HEIGHT.

AND HOW TALL ARE YOUR TWO STORY APARTMENTS GOING TO BE? THEY'RE 35 FOOT TO THE TOP OF THE ROOF.

SO THEY'RE STILL CLEARLY WITH THE WINDOWS, IRREGARDLESS OF A BALCONY OR NOT, THEY'RE GOING TO SEE STRAIGHT INTO THESE HOMEOWNERS HOMES.

OKAY. SO I'M STILL NOT A FAN OF THAT.

I MEAN, MAYBE IF YOU SWITCH THE PARKING TO THE BACK.

MOVE THEM FURTHER IN TO GIVE MORE OF A BUFFER.

JUST AS A HOMEOWNER, I WOULDN'T WANT AN APARTMENT THAT CLOSE TO MY BACK PROPERTY LINE OVERSEEING IT.

UNDERSTOOD. I JUST WANTED THAT ON THE RECORD.

CURIOSITY. ARE Y'ALL.

DO Y'ALL. DO Y'ALL MANAGE THE APARTMENT? YEAH. WE WOULD HAVE THIRD PARTY PROPERTY MANAGEMENT.

BUT WE'RE I MEAN, THE APARTMENT INDUSTRY IS FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGING INSTITUTIONAL INDUSTRY IN WHICH THESE PROJECTS I MEAN, THIS THE TAX VALUE OF THIS APARTMENT DEVELOPMENT IS $60 BILLION.

I MEAN, THESE ARE HUGE INVESTMENTS.

AND SO THIS IS NOT APARTMENTS LIKE THE 70S AND 80S.

IT'S JUST FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGED.

SO. I WILL TELL YOU, I HAVE A NUMBER OF CONCERNS WITH THIS PROPERTY, WITH THIS, WITH THIS IDEA.

ROSAMOND IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO BE.

[00:45:01]

I PERSONALLY FEEL LIKE THERE'S A LOT BETTER USAGE OF THIS PROPERTY.

AS FAR AS THERE'S GOING TO BE A MAJOR INTERSECTION.

AND I DON'T I'M NOT REALLY CLEARLY UNDERSTANDING WHY Y'ALL CAN'T USE THIS MORE IN A RETAIL SIDE. I THINK THIS SLIDE IS, I THINK GREAT WHEN YOU WHEN YOU TAKE THESE PADS AND YOU IF YOU ALLOWED THE THE RETAIL TO GO NORTH, IT WOULD THEN BLEED ONTO ROBINSON. AND THEN AS YOU TAKE THOSE DOWN ROBIN OR DOWN ROSAMOND, THE DEPTH OF THOSE PADS CREATES THIS NO MAN'S LAND IN THE BACK WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PARKING FOR ANY OF YOUR BIG BOX ON THE BACK PORTION OF IT.

WITH THE UNIQUE GEOMETRY THAT WE HAVE WITH THE CURVATURE ALONG THE PROPERTY LINES.

THE DEPTH DOES NOT WORK FROM A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT STANDPOINT.

I KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE AN EXACT NUMBER THAT YOU CAN ASSOCIATE WITH THIS, BUT WHAT ARE THESE APARTMENTS GOING TO RUN OUT FOR? WHAT WOULD BE THE GOING RENT RATE ON THIS BE? I THINK RENTAL RATES ARE PRICED EITHER BY PER SQUARE FOOT OR BY SHELTER RENT.

AND SO WE'RE EVERYTHING IS IN THE MARKET RIGHT NOW.

ALL THE NEW PRODUCT IS GOING TO BE AT THE TOP OR TOP END OF THE MARKET.

SO YOU'RE PROBABLY $1.75 TO $1.85 A FOOT ON A UNIT.

WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THESE HOMES ARE GOING TO BE SECTION EIGHT? [INAUDIBLE] NO GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZED.

NO GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZED. HOW DO YOU KNOW? BECAUSE WE DON'T TAKE SECTION EIGHT VOUCHERS.

COULD YOU IN THE FUTURE? NOBODY WOULD FROM A MATH STANDPOINT, IT DOESN'T.

SECTION EIGHT TYPICALLY COMES WITH TAX CREDITS ASSOCIATED WITH THEM, COMES WITH EITHER AN 8% OR 9% TAX CREDIT.

THIS IS NOT A TAX CREDIT PROJECT.

THIS IS A MARKET RATE PROJECT.

SO THIS IS NOT GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZED HOUSING.

THIS IS CLASS-A MULTIFAMILY.

WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY INCENTIVES.

WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR TAX CREDITS.

WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR ANYTHING ALONG THOSE LINES.

CAN I ASK A QUESTION FOR THE CITY? WHAT'S THE PLAN TO PUT A LIGHT AT THAT INTERSECTION? AND I GUESS WHEN I SAY WHAT'S THE PLAN AND WHAT'S THE TIMELINE? COMMISSIONER BLANSETT, THANK YOU FOR THIS QUESTION.

MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION.

GREG PETERS, INTERIM ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER I CAN GIVE YOU A QUICK ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION.

SO WE ALL KNOW THAT WE'VE SEEN THE TRAFFIC VOLUMES ON ROSAMOND PARKWAY CONTINUE TO INCREASE.

WE DID A STUDY IN THE WINTER OF 2021, I BELIEVE IT WAS LATE 21 WHERE WE GOT TRAFFIC COUNTS AND IT DID NOT QUITE MEET THE WARRANT CRITERIA NECESSARY FOR A SIGNAL.

SO WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOME MORE HOMES TO BE BUILT IN SHADOW BEND.

NOW THAT THAT HAS OCCURRED AND SCHOOL IS NOW BACK IN SESSION, WE ACTUALLY ARE PLANNING TO IN THE NEXT, I WOULD SAY, 60 DAYS, CONDUCT ANOTHER TRAFFIC STUDY BASED ON THIS MORNING'S TRAFFIC WITH THE RETURN TO SCHOOL AND WHAT WE SAW, WE'RE CONFIDENT WE'RE GOING TO MEET WARRANT CRITERIA AT THIS TIME.

AND SO WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS WE WILL COMPLETE THAT STUDY AND WE WILL SUBMIT IT TO TXDOT AND WE WILL MAKE A REQUEST TO THEM FOR A SIGNAL.

NOW, THEY DO CONTROL THE TIMELINE BECAUSE IT'S ON STATE HIGHWAY 5 AND YOU HAVE THE ADJACENCY OF THE RAILROAD.

SO WE'RE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION TO FINLEY BOULEVARD, WHICH WE'RE HEARING DOWN AT 5 AND FINLEY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE INSTALLING THAT SIGNAL AROUND THE END OF THE YEAR, THE CALENDAR YEAR THIS YEAR.

SO THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT A TWO YEAR PROCESS.

SO REALISTICALLY, WE'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT A TRAFFIC STUDY THIS FALL AND THEN IN THE FALL OF 25 WOULD BE WHAT I WOULD TELL YOU AS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF WHEN TXDOT WOULD INSTALL A SIGNAL.

THANK YOU, SIR. YES, SIR.

WHAT'S THE TIMELINE ON THIS? IF THIS WAS APPROVED, WHAT DO YOU WHAT DO YOU FORESEE AS A TIMELINE OF BREAKING GROUND TO.

WE HAVE A YEAR OF PLANNING [INAUDIBLE].

IS WHEN YOU WOULD BREAK GROUND AND IT PROBABLY.

18 MONTHS [INAUDIBLE].

[00:50:08]

I KNOW THE WINNER OF 25 SPRING.

IS WHEN YOU WOULD LOOK AT OPENING.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER WALDEN TOUCHED ON THE TRASH COMPACTOR ISSUE.

WOULD THE COMMERCIAL HERE ALSO SHARE IN THAT WITH THESE APARTMENTS? THAT COMMERCIAL WOULD HAVE A SEPARATE TRASH REFUSE FACILITY.

THOSE ARE TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE LOTS FROM A ZONING STANDPOINT AND FROM A OPERATION STANDPOINT.

SO THE COMMERCIAL WOULD HAVE ITS OWN.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THIS APPLICANT? SO I HAD A ISSUE WITH THE PARKING.

RIGHT. SO YOU TOOK IT DOWN FROM 2.25 TO 1.57? YES, MA'AM. HOW MANY GARAGES ARE YOU OFFERING? WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT THAT.

WE TYPICALLY FOR 315 UNITS, WE WOULD BE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 50 TO 65 GARAGES, WHICH WOULD BE TUCK UNDER GARAGES THAT YOU SEE THERE IN THAT LIGHT BROWN AREA.

SO SOMEWHERE AROUND THAT MIX IS WHAT WE WOULD DO.

AND THEN THE REST YOU CAN KIND OF SEE SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE SITE WHERE THE X'S ARE ON THE PARKING SPACES.

THOSE WOULD BE CARPORTS AS WELL THROUGHOUT THE PARKING LOT THAT WE PROVIDE FOR COVERED PARKING.

OKAY, SO YOU PUT THAT IN THE NUMBER FOR THE PARKING SPACES, WHICH WAS WHAT AGAIN, MA'AM? HOW MANY PARKING SPACES? TOTAL PARKING SPACES? YES. UH.

IT'S JUST UNDER 500, I THINK.

YEAH, I THINK IT'S 490.

THIS IS 494. 494.

SOMEWHERE AROUND THERE. THANK YOU.

YES, MA'AM. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THIS APPLICANT? ARE THERE ANY SPEAKER CARDS FOR THIS ITEM? OKAY. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:51 P.M.

AND CONFINE ALL COMMENTS TO THE COMMISSION AND STAFF.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ITEM? GO AHEAD. UM, IF THIS PASSES, HOW IS THIS GOING TO AFFECT THE MF-2 AND THE C-1 MOVING FORWARD FOR ANYBODY ELSE? IS THIS GOING TO SET A PRESENCE FOR EVERYBODY ELSE COMING BEHIND HERE FORWARD MOVING FORWARD.

I DIDN'T HEAR THE QUESTION.

IF THIS WERE TO PASS, IS THAT GOING TO CHANGE EVERYTHING MOVING FORWARD FOR THE MF-2 AND THE C-1 AS WELL? SETBACKS, ALL THAT STUFF? OR IS THIS JUST A ONE OFF FOR THESE OR DO YOU MEAN FOR ALL C-1 PROPERTIES? YEAH. NO, THIS IS JUST A ONE OFF.

IT'S A ONE OFF. IT'S AN AMENDMENT TO THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. THANKS.

I JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION FOR THE CITY AS WELL.

DID REVIEWING THE PACKET, I NOTICED YOU ALL RECEIVED AN OPPOSITION TO THE REQUEST FROM ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS IN SHADOW BEND.

DID Y'ALL NOTIFY ALL THOSE NEIGHBORS, THOSE HOUSES ALONG? FOR EVERY ZONING CASE, WE NOTIFY 200FT FROM THE PROPERTY AS WELL AS THE PROPERTY ITSELF.

SO THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SOMEONE FROM WITHIN 200FT.

THAT WAS THE ONLY RESPONSE THAT YOU ALL RECEIVED.

THAT AND THEN THE NEUTRAL FROM THE [INAUDIBLE].

HOW DID YOU NOTIFY THEM? BY MAIL. AND THE NEUTRAL FROM ISD JUST BECAUSE THE PROPERTY ACROSS THE STREET IS OWNED BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

YES, WE NOTIFY THE ISD FOR ALL ZONING CASES RELATED TO RESIDENTIAL, BUT IN THIS CASE THEY RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION THAT ANY HOMEOWNER OR PROPERTY OWNER WOULD RECEIVE FOR BEING WITHIN 200FT.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? IS THERE A MOTION ON AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 30? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO DENY AGENDA ITEM 30.

I SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION TO DENY BY COMMISSIONER BLANSETT.

I HAVE A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CLEMENS.

ALL IN FAVOR? COMMISSIONER MARTIN? YES. COMMISSIONER NYLEC.

NO. SO YOU VOTE TO APPROVE.

OKAY. JUST MAKING SURE I'M GETTING THAT CORRECTLY.

COMMISSIONER WALDEN? YES.

COMMISSIONER CLEMENS? YES. COMMISSIONER BLANSETT? YES. AND MYSELF.

YES. MOTION PASSES 6 TO 1.

ITEM NUMBER 31 CONSIDER DISCUSS ACTION ON THE ROSAMOND VILLAGE BLOCK A LOT 1 AND 2 CONCEPT PLAN APPLICANT ROSAMOND POWELL INVESTMENTS, LLC.

THIS IS CONTINGENT ON ITEM 30.

THAT IS CORRECT, YES. IS THERE A MOTION FOR AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 31? I MOTION TO DENY. I HAVE A MOTION TO DENY BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.

SECOND. SECOND BY COMMISSIONER BLANSETT.

[00:55:02]

YES. COMMISSIONER NYLEC.

NO. COMMISSIONER WALDEN.

YES. COMMISSIONER CLEMENS.

YES. COMMISSIONER BLANSETT.

YES. AND MYSELF.

YES. MOTION PASSES 6 TO 1.

ITEM NUMBER 32 CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING, CONSIDER DISCUSS ACTION ON A RECOMMENDATION TO REPEAL AND REPLACE THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:55 P.M..

MS. MECKE.

COMMISSION. WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO BRING THIS ITEM BEFORE YOU.

A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY ABOUT ANNA ZONING ORDINANCES.

THE CITY OF ANNA ADOPTED ITS FIRST ZONING ORDINANCE IN 1985 AND WAS NOT REPLACED AGAIN UNTIL 2003.

AND SINCE 2003 THERE HAVE BEEN MANY MODIFICATIONS.

HOWEVER, NOT EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS JIVE TOGETHER.

AND SO WHEN THE ANNA 2050 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WAS ADOPTED, THE TOP TASK WAS TO REWRITE THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

AND SO TONIGHT I HAVE OUR CONSULTANTS FROM FREESE NICHOLS, DANIEL HARRISON AND RHYS WILSON, AND THEY'RE HERE TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF PRESENTATION.

COMMISSIONERS HAVE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.

NO. GOOD EVENING.

GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US OUT AGAIN.

I KNOW WE HAD OUR WORKSHOP BACK AT THE END OF JUNE, SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH STAFF ON THE FINAL REVISIONS TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

AND SO WHAT WE HAVE IS A PRESENTATION, AN OVERVIEW OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

ONCE AGAIN, MY NAME IS DANIEL HARRISON AND I WORK FOR A COMPANY CALLED FREESE AND NICHOLS.

AND WHAT WE DO IS WE WORK FOR CITIES AND TOWNS AND COUNTIES WORKING ON CONFERENCE PLANS.

AND ALSO WHAT WE DO IS WORK ON ZONING ORDINANCES AND SUBDIVISION.

SO TAKING PLANS AND IMPLEMENTING THOSE PLANS THROUGH DIFFERENT REGULATIONS.

WITH ME TONIGHT ALSO IS RHYS WILSON AND ALSO WORKING ON DEVELOPING THE ZONING.

SO WE'LL DO A QUICK OVERVIEW AND JUST TALK ABOUT NEXT STEPS AND THEN ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

WE'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER THOSE FOR YOU.

SO ONE OF THE [INAUDIBLE] IS LOOKING AT THE SUMMARY OF WHAT ARE THE TOP TEN LIST OF THINGS THAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT THE ZONING.

WE WERE TRYING TO MODERNIZE THE FORMAT, IMPROVE THE GRAPHICS, HAVE LESS TECHNICAL JARGON, SO PEOPLE CAN OPEN THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND READ IT AND UNDERSTAND.

WE DID ADD TWO NEW ZONING DISTRICTS FOR DOWNTOWN AND A MIXED USE ZONING DISTRICTS.

WE'LL HIGHLIGHT THOSE HERE IN JUST A SECOND.

WE DID CONSOLIDATE AND REVISE SOME ZONING DISTRICTS BASED UPON THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN.

WE'LL SHOW YOU THOSE.

WE MODERNIZED THE USE TABLES AND THE SPECIFIC USE REGULATIONS.

WE'LL TOUCH ON THAT.

WE IMPROVED THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

WE LOOKED AT STREAMLINING PROCESSES.

HOW COULD WE APPROACH APPROVING DIFFERENT IT'S A BUILDING PERMIT, SITE PLAN, APPROVAL PROCESS, THINGS LIKE THAT. AND THEN WE EXPANDED NON-CONFORMITIES AND ENFORCEMENT PROVISIONS.

AND THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT REVISING SOME DEFINITIONS, BECAUSE EVERY GOOD ZONING ORDINANCE, WE REALLY NEED TO HAVE A LOT OF GOOD DEFINITIONS IN THE BACK, ESPECIALLY TALKING ABOUT OUR LAND USE CATEGORIES.

SO HOW THE ZONING ORDINANCE IS ORGANIZED, THERE'S TEN DIFFERENT DIVISIONS.

FIRST ONE IS A GENERAL PROVISIONS.

YOU PROBABLY WON'T SPEND MUCH TIME IN THAT.

JUST PRETTY PRETTY MUCH A FORMALITY.

THEN WE GET INTO OUR ZONING DISTRICTS WHERE WE LAY THOSE OUT.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT THOSE WE GET INTO OUR USES, HOW WE TREAT USE, AND WHEN WE SAY USES, THAT IS JUST HOW A LAND, A PIECE OF LAND, WHAT THAT IS GOING TO BE USED FOR.

SO THOSE ARE OUR LAND USES.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT PROCEDURES AS WELL.

I'LL MENTION ABOUT WHAT NON-CONFORMITIES ARE AND HOW WE ADDRESS THOSE.

I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ENFORCEMENT DECISION MAKER BODIES, WHO'S APPROVING WHAT? THEN WRAPPING UP WITH SOME LEGAL PROVISIONS AND ONCE AGAIN, THOSE DEFINITIONS.

SO THE FIRST DIVISION IS REALLY JUST ESTABLISHING THE ZONING ORDINANCE, ALL THE THINGS WE HAVE TO SAY IN THERE JUST TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW.

WE REFERENCED THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

IF YOU REMEMBER, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS OUR GUIDING DOCUMENT, AND THE ZONING ORDINANCE IS A BIG TOOL TO HELP IMPLEMENT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THE SECOND DIVISION. THAT'S WHEN WE GET INTO OUR ZONING DISTRICTS WHERE WE TALKED ABOUT WE REVISE THE ZONING DISTRICTS IN THE CURRENT ZONING ORDINANCE, WE DID ESTABLISH A ZONING EQUIVALENCY TABLE SO WE CAN SEE WHAT THE OLD NAMES WERE.

AND IF WE COMBINE TWO, YOU CAN SEE HOW THOSE GOT TRANSLATED.

SO IF YOU EVER LOOK AT AN OLD MAP, YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT TRANSLATES INTO THE NEW ZONING.

WE REDUCED THE ZONING DISTRICT, THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ZONING DISTRICTS THAT WE HAVE IN THE CITY FROM 27 DOWN TO 18.

THE REASON FOR THAT CONSOLIDATION IS YOU CAN SORT OF SEE WHERE THERE WAS SOME OVERLAPS, SOME DISTRICTS NOT BEING USED.

SO IT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CLEAN UP.

EACH DISTRICT DOES HAVE ITS OWN PURPOSE STATEMENT, INTERNAL CROSS-REFERENCING WITH OUR USE CHART, WHICH WE'LL SEE HERE IN JUST A SECOND.

AND THEN ALSO DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS AND SPECIFIC OR SPECIAL REGULATIONS AS NEEDED.

[01:00:05]

WE HAVE ALL THE PREVIOUS CATEGORIES, ZONING DISTRICTS ON THE LEFT.

IN THE MIDDLE, WE HAVE THE NEW ZONING DISTRICT AND JUST SORT OF SOME NOTES ON THE SIDE ABOUT HOW WE HOW WE WERE TREATING THOSE, ABOUT COMBINING THE AG AND THE SINGLE FAMILY ESTATE JUST BECAUSE WE'RE NOT USING THAT AS MUCH.

MOST OF OUR CORE DISTRICTS ARE SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICTS.

WE RETAIN THOSE WHEN WE GOT INTO WHAT WE NOW CALL THE MIXED DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT, THERE WERE SOME OPPORTUNITIES TO REALLY JUST COMBINE BECAUSE THAT WAS REALLY ACHIEVING A LOT OF THE SAME GOALS THERE.

AND WE DID COMBINE THE TWO MULTIFAMILY DISTRICTS INTO ONE DISTRICT.

I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT MIXED DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT WHEN WE'RE COMBINING ALL THOSE GOING BACK AND LOOKING AT THE CONFERENCE PLAN.

ONCE AGAIN, OUR GUIDING DOCUMENT, WE LOOKED AT THE MIXED USE DENSITY AND PROVIDING MEDIUM DENSITY HOUSING, TRYING TO PROVIDE A DIVERSE RANGE OF HOUSING CHOICES TO RESIDENTS.

SO THIS DISTRICT IS A MIX OF SINGLE FAMILY, TWO FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES TRYING TO MAKE WALKABLE NEIGHBORHOODS.

THE DISTRICT IMPLEMENTS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANS CLUSTER, RESIDENTIAL AND URBAN LIVING PLACE TYPE.

THERE'S DIFFERENT PLACE TYPES DESCRIBED IN THE IN THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN.

AND LASTLY, WE WERE TRYING TO LESSEN THE DEMAND FOR PD.

THAT WAY WE CAN HAVE STRAIGHT ZONING THAT CAN BE UNDERSTOOD AND IMPLEMENTED AND SORT OF LESSEN THE NEED FOR PDS TO COME, BECAUSE SOMETIMES WHEN WE SEE REALLY AN ABUNDANCE OF PDS, WE SORT OF KNOW OUR ZONING REGULATIONS AREN'T WORKING BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT DONE IS REALLY THROUGH.

PROCESS. SO YOU CAN SEE HERE, HERE'S JUST A COPY OF THE USE CHART.

AND SO YOU CAN SEE ALL OF OUR ZONING CATEGORIES GOING ACROSS THE TOP THERE.

NOT ALL OF THEM, BUT A SECTION OF THEM.

THEN OUR USES LISTED DOWN.

AND THEN SO SIMPLY YOU CAN JUST GO THROUGH THAT CHART AND SEE WHETHER THAT USE IS PERMITTED OR IT'S NOT PERMITTED.

AND THEN THAT WAS JUST A COMBINATION [INAUDIBLE].

WE HAVE DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS.

THAT OF COURSE WILL SHOW ALL THE LOT, WIDTH, LOT DEPTH, ALL THOSE STANDARDS.

AND ALSO AT THE END OF THAT TABLE, THERE'S CROSS REFERENCES TO WHERE WE HAVE ADDITIONAL STANDARDS THROUGHOUT THE CODE.

MOVING TO OUR COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS ONCE AGAIN.

WE'RE OPPORTUNITIES TO COMBINE DISTRICTS WHEN THEY WERE NOT BEING UTILIZED AS MUCH OR WE HAD SOME OVERLAP.

DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT. WE DO HAVE OUR TWO NEW DISTRICTS HERE, OUR MIXED USE DISTRICT AND OUR DOWNTOWN DISTRICT.

I'LL HAVE A COUPLE OF SLIDES ON THOSE.

SO WITH OUR MIXED USE DISTRICT, THAT'S ONE OF THE NEWER DISTRICTS AND IT'S FOR DEVELOPMENT OUTSIDE OF THE DOWNTOWN.

SO WHEN WE LOOK AT MORE OF A MIXED USE SETTING, YES, DOWNTOWN'S VISION IS TO BE MORE MIXED USE AND WALKABLE.

BUT WE HAVE OTHER PARTS OF THE TOWN THAT ARE REALLY ENVISIONED TO BE MIXED USE.

SO THIS IS WHAT THIS IS GOING TO BE USEFUL FOR AND IMPLEMENTING.

SO WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE ENTERTAINMENT VENUES, COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL OFFICE USES, AND THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN A HIGHER DENSITY, MORE PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT.

AND THIS WAS AN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONFERENCE OF PLANS ENTERTAINMENT CENTER AND MIXED USE PLACE TYPES AND THEN ONCE AGAIN LESSEN THE DEMAND FOR PD.

ONCE WE CAN SEE THIS OPTION BEING A CHOICE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY.

THERE'S THE USE CHART, WHICH JUST SORT OF LETS YOU KNOW WHAT TYPE OF ONCE AGAIN, THE USES THAT WE CAN HAVE IN THE MIXED USE.

SO LIVE WORK UNITS, MULTIFAMILY, SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED.

SO OUR TOWNHOMES, WHEN WE GET TO A SINGLE UNIT DUPLEX PARK OR A TOWNHOME UNIT, THOSE ARE MORE SO THOSE WILL COME FOR APPROVAL.

AND THEN WE HAVE TWO FAMILY DWELLING.

A DIMENSIONAL STANDARD. SO WHEN WE GET INTO OUR MIXED USE, WE START TO SEE SOME OTHER STANDARDS TO OUR DIMENSIONAL CHART HERE WHERE WE HAVE A BUILD-TO ZONE BECAUSE WE WANT THOSE BUILDINGS TO BE BROUGHT TO THE STREET.

SO THERE'S A ZONE THAT WOULD BE CLOSER TO THE STREET RATHER THAN JUST SAYING, WE WANT YOU TO SET SO FAR BACK, WE'D LIKE YOU TO BE CLOSER TO THE STREET.

BUT IT'S A ZONE, SO IT'S NOT EXACTLY ALL THE WAY TO THE FRONT.

YOU HAVE A RANGE THAT YOU CAN BE IN THERE SO A 20 FOOT RANGE.

THEN MOVING TO DOWNTOWN.

THIS IS IMPLEMENTING IN THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN.

WHAT WE WANT TO SEE, OF COURSE, IS PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY, MIXED USE ENVIRONMENT, WALKABLE COMMUNITY.

AND SO WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW DEVELOPERS SOME FLEXIBILITY AND LAND USE AND SITE DESIGN AS FAR AS DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS GO.

AND IN THE PLAN THAT WE HAVE HERE IN THE DOWNTOWN PLAN, IT'S CALLING FOR DOWNTOWN TYPE OF USES THAT YOU'D SEE IN OTHER COMMUNITIES.

AND THE GOAL IS TO REVITALIZE THE HISTORIC DOWNTOWN.

AND WE NEED A ZONING ORDINANCE THAT WILL HELP THESE BUILDINGS THAT ARE ENVISIONED OCCUR HERE BECAUSE THESE TYPE OF BUILDINGS DON'T NECESSARILY OCCUR ALONG THE HIGHWAY OR OTHER PLACES ALL ALONG 75, I SHOULD SAY, THESE OTHER PLACES.

SO THIS IS WHY WE HAVE OUR OWN NEW ZONING DISTRICT.

[01:05:02]

WE HAVE THE DOWNTOWN CORE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD DISTRICT.

THE DOWNTOWN CORE, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE LEFT IS THE CORE AREA.

AND THEN THE NEIGHBORHOOD DISTRICT IS REALLY JUST THE AREA SURROUNDING THAT.

SO WHEN WE GO OVER HERE TO OUR USE CHART, WE SEE OUR NEW DOWNTOWN DISTRICT AND THE TYPE OF USES THAT WE HAVE IN THE CORE AND ALSO IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

ONCE AGAIN, WE GET INTO A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT CONCEPTS.

WHEN WE GET INTO DOWNTOWN, WE TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE MOVING INTO SOME FORM BASED CODE ELEMENTS WHERE WE'RE STARTING TO LOOK.

WE HAVE A NICE STREET SECTION HERE THAT IS TIED DOWN TO THE ROADWAY NETWORK IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA. SO DIFFERENT TYPES OF STREET FRONTAGE SORT OF SORT OF DRIVE THE TYPE OF USES AND BUILDINGS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE ALONG THERE.

AND THEN SO WHAT THE ZONING DOES, IT GOES AHEAD AND MATCHES THAT.

AND ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS REALLY IMPLEMENTING THE DOWNTOWN VISION FOR THOSE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENTS.

SO THERE'S OTHER SPECIAL REGULATIONS THAT WE HAVE IN DOWNTOWN FOR CANOPIES, AWNINGS, BALCONIES MAY ENCROACH INTO THE BUILD-TO ZONE.

THIS IS WHEN YOU HAVE THESE USES FACING THE STREET.

YOU WANT THAT ACTIVITY.

NO ENCROACHMENT SHALL BE LOCATED ON THE ON STREET PARKING STREET OR OVER A SIDE OR REAR PROPERTY LINE.

ANY PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, MORE THAN 42FT DOES REQUIRE A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO BE RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING AND APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL.

MOVING ON TO THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

THERE ARE SOME CHANGES THAT WE MADE HERE.

MOST NOTABLY, WE DID INCREASE THE PD SIZE TO HAVE A REQUIREMENT OF BEING 5 CONTIGUOUS ACRES.

SO THAT WAS A NEW REQUIREMENT.

WHAT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO DO IS WHEN WE HAVE A PD, WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S UNIQUE, A SIZABLE DEVELOPMENT, AND NOT NECESSARILY BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU'LL GET REQUESTS FOR A PD FOR A SINGLE PROPERTY OR MAYBE TWO PROPERTIES, AND SOMETIMES THAT PD IS USED MORE AS A WAY TO SORT OF JUST GET AROUND THE ZONING. AND SO WHEN WE HAVE A LARGER MINIMUM LOT SIZE, WE'RE TRYING TO SORT OF HEAD THAT OFF AS SAYING BECAUSE YOU CAN'T COME FOR FOR A VARIANCE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

BUT THE PD PROCESS IS REALLY DESIGNED FOR A UNIQUE AND INNOVATIVE DESIGN THAT THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

DOES NOT ACCOMMODATE FOR BECAUSE THERE CAN BE GREAT DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE PROPOSED BY DEVELOPERS THAT JUST NEED TO BE BASED UPON THE MERITS THAT EXIST ON THE SITE AND THEIR PROPOSAL.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE BIG CHANGES THAT WE MADE TO THE PD.

A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT MAY BE USED TO PERMIT AND LIKE I WAS SAYING, NEW OR INNOVATIVE CONCEPTS.

WE ALSO HAVE SOME GRAPHICS AS WELL.

SO THESE ARE TO HELP THE READER JUST TO SEE IF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LOT WITH.

SO WE HAVE AN EXAMPLE OF JUST A TRADITIONAL SINGLE FAMILY LOT HERE.

ALL THE DIMENSIONS ARE OUTLINED SO PEOPLE CAN EASILY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR SETBACKS ARE BECAUSE SOMETIMES A RESIDENT WILL ALSO GO AHEAD AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT IF THEY'RE PUTTING AN ACCESSORY BUILDING ON OR DOING SOME TYPE OF STRUCTURE IN THEIR BACKYARD.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN UNDERSTAND THESE REGULATIONS AS WELL.

MOVING ON TO DIVISION THREE, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT USES, WE HAVE THESE ORGANIZED INTO THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS.

AND REALLY THOSE ARE DONE BY OUR USE CHART.

AND SO YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE OUR RESIDENTIAL USES GROUPED TOGETHER, OUR LODGING, OUR GROUP LIVING GROUP TOGETHER, ALSO AUTOMOTIVE, COMMERCIAL, RECREATIONAL, SO OUR DIFFERENT GROUPS THAT WE HAVE HERE.

SO WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR STANDARDS FOR THESE IN THE USE CHART, WE'LL HAVE THESE USES LISTED AND THEN THE SECTION OF CODE WHERE YOU CAN GO CLICK ON THAT AND IT WILL TAKE YOU TO THOSE SPECIFIC REGULATIONS.

SO HERE'S JUST AN EXAMPLE THAT WE HAVE ON THE SCREEN.

HERE'S THE ENTIRE USE CHART, ALL THE USES LISTED AT THE TOP.

WE HAVE OUR AUTO REPAIR LIGHT.

WE CAN SEE WHAT THAT DEFINITION IS.

YOU CAN GO SEE QUICKLY WHETHER IT'S PERMITTED OR IT REQUIRES AN SUP.

IF THERE'S ANY SPECIAL REGULATIONS THAT GO ALONG WITH THAT SPECIFIC USE.

AND THEN WHAT OUR PARKING RATIO IS.

SO HOPEFULLY THIS WILL HELP MAKE IT A LOT CLEARER FOR THE LAND OWNER, THE DEVELOPER ALSO HELPING WITH REVIEW AND THEN ALSO FOR P&Z RECOMMENDATION AND COUNCIL APPROVAL. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID TALK A LOT ABOUT AT OUR LAST MEETING, WE TALKED ABOUT THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT, WE MAINTAIN THE REGULATIONS FOR ESTABLISHMENTS THAT HAVE 75%.

ARE MORE OF THEIR GROSS REVENUE DERIVED FROM ALCOHOL SALES.

SO TALKING ABOUT BARS, SO HAVING THOSE SEPARATION REQUIREMENTS, THOSE ARE THOSE ARE REMAIN SAME DID REMOVE THE RETAIL SALES RESTRICTIONS.

SO WHETHER IT WAS A SO NOT BARS SO IT COULD BE A RESTAURANT TORCHY'S TACOS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

[01:10:05]

BUT SO WE DO HAVE WHAT'S REGULATED IN THERE.

IT'S THE SALE OF LIQUOR AND THE SALE OF BEER IS PROHIBITED ANY RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

SO KEEPING THOSE STANDARDS AND MAKING THAT MODIFICATION FOR THE RETAIL SALES.

ALSO, WE HAD STANDARDS FOR NEW FOOD TRUCK PARKS.

OF COURSE, AS THESE HAVE BECOME MORE POPULAR OVER TIME, ONE OF OUR STANDARDS ARE.

BUT WHEN WE LOOK AT WHAT DO WE WANT TO SEE WHEN THESE TYPES OF DEVELOPMENTS OCCUR, DO WE HAVE CONNECTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL WATER, WASTEWATER, PROVIDING THOSE CONNECTIONS, HAVING THESE AREAS BE NICE AND ACCESSIBLE BOTH TO THE TRUCKS AND ALSO FOR THE PATRONS AND PROVIDING A NICE ENVIRONMENT FOR THEM TO TO BASICALLY DINE AND ALSO FOR THE VENDORS TO SELL THEIR.

THEIR GOODS. SO WE HAVE THINGS SUCH AS WHETHER WE'RE REQUIRING BARRIERS TO BE LOCATED BETWEEN THE VEHICLES AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AREA, ONCE AGAIN TRYING TO MAKE THESE THINGS ATTRACTIVE AND ALSO SAFE.

SO THERE'S NO ISSUES THERE, MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE PLENTY OF WASTE RECEPTACLES FOR EACH MOBILE VENDOR, JUST TRYING TO KEEP THINGS NICE ORDERLY.

MOVING ON TO SOME MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS.

WE HAVE STANDARDS IN THERE FOR AS FAR AS REQUIRING THAT WE HAVE 25% OF THE AREA FOR OUR RETAIL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER TYPE OF USES, PROVIDING SOME LIMITATIONS ON THE AMOUNT OF MULTIFAMILY THAT CAN BE IN THERE, BECAUSE WE DO REALLY WANT THESE TO BE TRUE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS AND JUST NOT THE INTENDED TO BE MIXED USE.

AND THEN OFTEN TIMES THERE CAN BE REQUESTS FOR CHANGES BECAUSE SOMETIMES THAT RETAIL HAPPENS A LITTLE SLOWER THAN WHAT EVERYONE ANTICIPATES.

BUT WE HAVE STANDARDS IN THERE FOR THAT AND ALSO STANDARDS FOR BUILDING ARTICULATION, ROOF TREATMENT, WINDOWS, GROUND FLOOR, DIFFERENT TYPES OF ELEMENTS AND DIFFERENT TYPES OF AMENITIES FOR OUR MIXED USE STANDARDS.

MOVING ON TO SOME ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS.

WE ALL KNOW ATTAINABLE HOUSING IS GETTING A LITTLE HARDER TO ATTAIN JUST WITH THE WITH THE LAND PRICES INCREASING.

SO THE POPULARITY OF POTENTIALLY HAVING A ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT ON YOUR PROPERTY IS INCREASING.

WE DO HAVE STANDARDS IN THERE FOR AS WHAT THE SIZE OF AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT CAN BE BECAUSE WE JUST DON'T WANT TWO HOMES ON SOMEONE'S PROPERTY.

YES, THE LOT SIZE IS GOING TO DETERMINE A LOT OF THIS, BUT ONCE AGAIN, WE DO NEED TO SET UP STANDARDS FOR HOW THESE WOULD WORK.

SO WE DO HAVE SIZE STANDARDS AND THEY'RE THEY MUST COMPLY WITH ALL OUR SETBACKS, OUR DIFFERENT DIFFERENT ELEMENTS AS WELL.

SO WE'VE ADDED STANDARDS TO ADDRESS OUR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE THOSE AS A WAY FOR PEOPLE TO ONCE AGAIN PROVIDE SOME ATTAINABLE HOUSING.

BUT ALSO IT HELPS WITH THE HOMEOWNER BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME TYPE OF [INAUDIBLE].

MOVING ON TO OUR DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

THIS IS OUR FOURTH SECTION TALKING ABOUT WE HAVE TEN SUBSECTIONS IN HERE.

I'LL HIGHLIGHT THESE REAL QUICKLY.

DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. WE HAVE SOME DIMENSIONAL REGULATIONS AS FAR AS WE WE'VE RIGHTSIZED OUR VISIBILITY TRIANGLES.

THAT'S WHEN TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT, ABOUT WHEN WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT THINGS ARE BUILT AT AN INTERSECTION.

THE SECOND IMAGE IS THE SECOND IMAGE WE HAVE HERE IS SETBACKS.

THIS IS WHEN WE'RE HAVING A TALLER BUILDINGS, MAKING SURE THAT THE HIGHER YOU GO, THE MORE SET BACK, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE NEXT TO RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.

WE HAVE OTHER SITE DESIGN REQUIREMENTS ESTABLISHING STANDARDS FOR THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF SINGLE FAMILY.

TWO FAMILY, WE HAVE MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AS FAR AS AMENITIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, TOWNHOME UNITS AND SINGLE SINGLE UNIT OR DUPLEX PARKS. WE TALKED ABOUT THOSE SORT OF AT OUR AT OUR LAST MEETING, THOSE BEING A MORE MODERN TREND THAT WE'RE SEEING.

AND SO WE HAVE STANDARDS TO ADDRESS THOSE.

WE SORT OF TOUCHED ON THE MIXED USE AND OTHER NON RESIDENTIAL STANDARDS.

THEN OF COURSE WHAT WE'RE DOING IS REGULATING BUILDING ARTICULATION, ROOF TREATMENTS, WINDOWS ONCE AGAIN AND ON SITE AMENITIES.

I LOOKED AT THE PARKING TO ESTABLISH.

AS WE GO THROUGH THE ZONING ORDINANCE, YOU'LL SEE THAT FAR RIGHT TABLE ON THE USE CHART THAT ESTABLISHES OUR PARKING RATIOS.

THEN, OF COURSE, WE DID PROVIDE SOME FLEXIBILITY IN THERE TO ALLOW SOME TYPE OF REDUCTIONS WHEN WE HAVE JOINT TYPE OF FACILITIES.

THERE'S OTHER USES ARE ENCOURAGING OUR MIXED USE TYPE DEVELOPMENT.

THEN ALSO PROVIDING THAT THE COUNCIL CAN CAN REDUCE SOME OF THESE PARKING REQUIREMENTS TO HELP ACCOMMODATE WHAT WE'RE LISTING AS SOME OF THESE IDEAS THAT WE HAVE.

LANDSCAPING. THEN, OF COURSE, LOOKING AT THE LANDSCAPING, MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE TREES AND OTHER TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT WHEN WE'RE MOVING INTO A NEW SUBDIVISION BEING BUILT, WE

[01:15:02]

THOSE TYPE OF ELEMENTS THAT OF COURSE HAVE SERVED YOU WELL SO FAR.

WE'RE BUILDING UPON THOSE AND HAVE THOSE PUT INTO THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

WHEN WE LOOK AT SCREENING AND FENCING STANDARDS, WE'RE JUST CLARIFYING SOME SOME KEY TERMS AND WAYS TO APPROACH OUR SCREENING, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE SCREENING THE ELEMENTS THAT NEED TO BE SCREENED, WHETHER IT'S THE HVAC SYSTEMS THAT ARE ON THE GROUND OR OTHER TYPE OF ELEMENTS LIKE THAT.

WE DID LOOK AT SOME PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AS WELL, AND THOSE ARE INCORPORATED IN THE ZONING.

SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT NOISE, HOW LOUD SOMETHING IS AT THE PROPERTY LINE OR WHETHER WE'RE HAVING A VIBRATION SMOKE, SOME TYPE OF SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE SMELLING, COMING, COMING FROM A AREA.

THESE ARE ALL TYPES OF THINGS THAT WE CAN REGULATE IN THE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS, WHICH WE HAVE A SECTION ADDRESS FOR THAT.

TALKING ABOUT PROCEDURES.

ONCE AGAIN, WE WERE TRYING TO SIMPLIFY AND MOVE THOSE FORWARD.

SO WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A NICE TABLE THAT'S SHOWING THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF IF AN SUP IS COMING OR IF IT'S JUST A CONCEPT PLAN APPROVAL.

ONE OF THE BIG THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE IS THAT THE COUNCIL WILL NO LONGER BE THE APPROVAL AUTHORITY FOR CONCEPT PLANS, PRELIMINARY PLANS AND OR PRELIMINARY SITE PLANS AND SITE PLANS SO THEY CAN BE THE APPEAL AUTHORITY FOR THE CONCEPT PLAN AND THE PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN.

BUT ALLOWING P&Z TO BE THE APPROVAL AUTHORITY ONCE AGAIN TRY TO TAKE ONE STEP OUT OF THAT PROCESS.

AND IF P&Z LOOKS AT IT, SAYS IT CONFORMS TO THE ZONING, JUST SORT OF LIKE WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS TO TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE MEETING ALL THE CURRENT ZONING AND ALL THE PD REQUIREMENTS THAT MAY APPLY.

SO WE DO HAVE FLOWCHARTS TO HELP IN THE PROCESS FOR SOMEONE TO SEE.

OF COURSE, IF DEVELOPERS COME IN FOR A PRE-APPLICATION CONFERENCE OR SOMETHING LIKE THIS, IT'S A GREAT TIME TO SIT DOWN AND SORT OF DISCUSS THE PROCESS ABOUT HOW DIFFERENT THINGS ARE APPROVED. SO WE'VE INCORPORATED THOSE.

WE TALK ABOUT NONCONFORMITY, SO AS THINGS CHANGE OVER TIME IN AND THIS IS FOR EVERY CITY, WHAT WE HAVE IS A NON-CONFORMING SECTION BECAUSE SOMETHING USED TO BE CONFORMING AT ONE TIME WE CHANGED THE SETBACK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

SO WE CAN HAVE USES THAT ARE NON-CONFORMING STRUCTURES, LOTS SITE FEATURES.

SO WE HAVE A SECTION THAT REALLY JUST ADDRESSES HOW WE TREAT THESE BECAUSE THESE ARE JUST THEY'RE LEGAL NONCONFORMING.

THOSE ARE INTENDED TO CONTINUE OWNERSHIP CAN CHANGE THOSE DIFFERENT TYPES OF THINGS.

BUT IF IT GOES AWAY OR IF IT'S IF THE PROPERTY IS RAISED, NEW DEVELOPMENT NEEDS TO CONFORM.

SO THEN WE GET INTO ENFORCEMENT.

WE TALK ABOUT STRENGTHENING ENFORCEMENT.

ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES AND PROVIDING SORT OF A LIST OF VIOLATIONS, BECAUSE WE DO WANT PEOPLE VOLUNTARILY CONFORMANCE IS THE BEST.

WE WANT THAT. AND SO BUT WE DO HAVE WAYS TO ADDRESS WITH ACTUAL ENFORCEMENT, WHETHER THAT BE A FINE.

MOVING ON TO DECISION MAKERS, WE ESTABLISHED DIFFERENT REVIEW BY.

SO WHAT DOES DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DO? CITY COUNCIL. THE DIRECTOR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT.

WE SUMMARIZE ALL THOSE POWERS AND THOSE TABLES THAT YOU SAW MORE ON THE LEGAL PROVISION.

THIS IS MORE JUST SEVERABILITY CLAUSES.

THESE ARE SORT OF LIKE THE DIVISION ONE.

THESE ARE JUST MORE FORMALITIES THAT WE NEED TO HAVE IN AN ORDINANCE.

OUR LAST PART IS OUR DEFINITIONS.

WHERE WE PROVIDE, OF COURSE, RULES FOR INTERPRETATION.

BUT THE PART I'M GOING TO HIGHLIGHT THOSE TWO BOXES WHERE WE SAY LAND USE TERMS AND KEY TERMS. SO IN THAT USE CHART, WE HAVE ALL THOSE USES DEFINED.

SO YOU CAN GO AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT THOSE ARE.

AND SO WHEN SOMEONE SAYS, WELL, I'M AN AUTOMOBILE REPAIR LIGHT, WELL WHAT IS THAT? SO WE HAVE OUR DEFINITION IN THERE.

AND THEN THE OTHER SECTION FOR KEY TERMS IS WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT LAST TIME AT OUR JUNE MEETING ABOUT HOW WE DO HEIGHT, YOU KNOW, SO, SO WE HAVE ALL THAT WITH GRAPHICS TO HELP ON OUR KEY TERMS. SO REALLY NEXT STEPS, WHAT WE WOULD BE DOING IS HOPEFULLY MOVING FORWARD WITH ADOPTION AFTER A POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION FROM P&Z, MOVING FORWARD TO ADOPTION WITH THE COUNCIL AT ONE OF THEIR UPCOMING UPCOMING MEETINGS.
