THEY ARE ALSO REQUESTING TO INCREASE THE MAXIMUM WALL SIGNAGE DUE TO THE NUMBER OF ENTRANCES.
THEIR MAIN SIGN IS ALREADY WELL OVER THE MINIMUM OR THE MAXIMUM WALL SIGNAGE, BUT THEN THE OTHER SIGNS EXCEED AS WELL.
FOR THE GARDENING CENTERS, THEY'RE REQUESTING TO INCREASE THE SIZE AND TO CHANGE THE SURROUNDING OF THE GARDEN CENTER AND THIS IS IN LINE WITH THE EXISTING TENANT WHO HAS THE SAME REGULATION.

I MAY CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER DISCUSS ACTION ON AMENDING CHAPTER NINE OF THE ANNA CODE OF ORDINANCES BY REPEALING AND REPLACING ARTICLE 9.0 FOR ZONING ZONING ORDINANCE AND REPELLING ARTICLE 9.06 LANDSCAPE REGULATIONS.
>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. LONG OVERDUE.
THIS IS THE COMPLETE REWRITE OF THE CITY ZONING REGULATIONS, WHICH INCLUDE ALSO OUR LANDSCAPE REGULATIONS.
THESE REGULATIONS THAT ARE BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING BASICALLY, THEY HIT FOUR MAJOR ACTION ITEMS THAT ARE INSIDE THE ANNA 25TH, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH ARE LOCATED IN THE FUTURE LAND USE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, HOUSING AND PARKS AND TRAILS.
ADDITIONALLY, THE AUGUST 7TH PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, THEY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL UNANIMOUSLY.
HOWEVER, SINCE THAT TIME, STAFF HAS IDENTIFIED FOUR OTHER ISSUES THAT WE WOULD LIKE YOU ALL TO CONSIDER AS OPTION 2.
THOSE FOUR ISSUES PERTAIN TO EXEMPTING THE DOWNTOWN FROM THE THOR OVERLAY DISTRICT, CHANGING GROUP PROBE AND WINERIES TO BE PERMITTED BY RIGHT WITHIN THE C1 ZONING DISTRICT.
SO CHANGE TASTING ROOMS TO BE ALSO BE ALLOWED, PERMITTED BY RIGHT WITHIN THE C1 ZONING DISTRICT, AND THEN TO EXEMPT THE ANNA DOWNTOWN ZONING DISTRICT FROM A SUBSECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE SALE OF ALCOHOL BEVERAGES.
SO THAT WOULD BE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION THAT YOU GO WITH THE OPTION 2 AMENDMENT WE HAVE WITH US THIS EVENING, FREEZE AND NICKELS, DANIEL HARRISON AS WELL AS WILSON KERR.
THEY HAVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION TO GO OVER SOME OF THE KEY ITEMS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY BROUGHT BEFORE YOU DURING THE JOINT PUBLIC HEARING, BUT THEN TO ALSO JUST FINALIZE THIS PROCESS. THE PUBLIC HEARING.
>> I'M OPENING THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:17 PM.
>> ALRIGHT. THANK YOU, ROSS. MY NAME IS DANIEL HARRISON.
I'VE BEEN HONORED TO BE A PART OF THE PROCESS OF UPDATING YOUR ZONING ORDINANCE AND WORKING WITH YOUR STAFF.
OUR TEAM HAS WORKED WITH THEM TO DEVELOP THE UPDATE TO THE ZONING ARTS, WHICH I'M GOING TO TAKE JUST 10 MINUTES TO WALK YOU THROUGH REALLY QUICKLY AND CONCLUDE WITH THAT OPTION 2 WILL HIGHLIGHT THOSE ONCE AGAIN, WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT HOT DAY IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE, OF COURSE, WE HAVE A TOP TEN LIST, BUT REALLY, WHAT IT BOILS DOWN TO IS WE ARE IMPLEMENTING ITEMS FROM YOUR CURRENT PLANNING DOCUMENTS, FROM YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THOSE TYPE OF VISION DOCUMENTS THAT LET US KNOW WHERE WE WANT TO GO, AND ALSO MAKING A MODERN DOCUMENT THAT'S GOING TO BE USEFUL FOR YOUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPERS AND YOUR STAFF, YOU AND YOUR P AND Z TO IMPLEMENT.
THE ZONING ORDINANCE IS DIVIDED INTO TEN DIVISIONS.
I'M REALLY GOING TO FOCUS ON A FEW THAT I THINK ARE GOING TO BE MORE OF INTEREST TO YOU.
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ZONING DISTRICT OR DIVISION 2, WE HAD 27 ZONING DISTRICTS.
WE WERE ABLE TO LOOK AT THOSE AND SEE SOME REDUNDANCIES HERE.
WE'VE REDUCED THAT DOWN TO 18 ZONING DISTRICTS.
WE HAVE A NICE EQUIVALENCY TABLE, WHICH I'LL SHOW YOU HERE SO EVERYONE CAN SEE HOW THOSE GOT CONSOLIDATED.
WE ALSO HAVE A PURPOSE STATEMENT.
SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THESE DISTRICTS, WE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE INTENDED TO BE FOR.
HERE'S JUST AN EXAMPLE THAT EQUIVALENCY TABLE, WHERE WE SEE ALL THE CURRENT ZONING DISTRICTS LISTED ON THE LEFT COLUMN, THE NEW ZONING DISTRICTS AS THEIR PROPOSED AND THEN NOTES EXPLAIN WHY THOSE WERE COMBINED.
AND WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE HERE, SUCH AS THE MIXED-DENSITY DISTRICT.
WHAT THIS DOES IS ALLOW FOR A MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.
SOME DIVERSIFICATION AND HOUSING CHOICES AND THE RANGE THAT WE HAVE.
SO THIS WOULD BE A MIX OF SINGLE-FAMILY AND TWO-FAMILY.
THIS REALLY IMPLEMENTS THE CONFERENCE OF PLANS.
WE HAVE DIFFERENT PLACE TYPES AND THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN.
AND THIS WOULD BE ADDRESSING THE CLUSTER RESIDENTIAL AND THE URBAN LIVING.
ALSO WHEN WE HAVE THESE TYPE OF DISTRICTS THAT ALSO LESSENS THE DEMAND FOR APD REQUESTS COMING TO P AND Z AND COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL.
WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT SAME PROCESS THERE, WE WERE ABLE TO COMBINE SOME OF THOSE.
[00:15:01]
WE DO HAVE TWO NEW DISTRICTS THAT I'LL HIGHLIGHT HERE IN JUST A SECOND.THE FIRST ONE BEING THE MIXED-USE DISTRICT.
AND THIS IS FOR DEVELOPMENT REALLY OUTSIDE OF THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
THIS WOULD BE PROVIDING AREAS FOR ENTERTAINMENT VENUES, COMMERCIAL, OFFICE USES, COEXISTING AND HIGHER DENSITY PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENTS, AND THIS IS AN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANS, PLACE TYPES FOR ENTERTAINMENT CENTERS AND MIXED-USE CENTER PLACE TYPES.
ONCE AGAIN, TRYING TO LESSEN THAT DEMAND FOR PD DEVELOPMENT.
JUST SOME OF THE INTERESTING THINGS YOU MAY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT, WE START TO INTRODUCE BUILD-TO-LINES.
THIS WOULD BE BRINGING BUILDINGS CLOSER TO THE STREET, HAVING A ZONE SO IT'S NOT NECESSARILY HOW FAR DO YOU NEED TO BE SET BACK FROM THE ROAD, BUT THIS IS THE ZONE WHERE THE BUILDING WOULD NEED TO BE HELPING CREATE THAT ONCE AGAIN, THAT WALK ABLE NEIGHBORHOOD AREA THE OTHER ONE WAS THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT, AND THIS IS A NEW DISTRICT.
THIS IS AN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN AND CREATING A MIXED-USE DISTRICT WHICH IS GOING TO BE WORKABLE AND WE WANT TO ALLOW SOME FLEXIBILITY IN DESIGN AND THE DISTRICT DOES THAT.
THIS IS A COURSE TO HELP REVITALIZE AND BUILD UPON THE HISTORIC DOWN TOWN AND TO STIMULATE BUSINESS GROWTH.
IN THE DOCUMENT, YOU'LL HAVE THE DOWNTOWN CORE, THE CORE AREA, AND THE NEIGHBORING DISTRICT THAT GOES AROUND THE MORE RESIDENTIAL AREA.
HERE ON THE USE CHART YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF RESIDENTIAL USES WE HAVE, AND THEN WHERE ARE THOSE ALLOWED AND THOSE TWO SUB-DISTRICTS OF THE DOWNTOWN.
WHEN WE GO INTO THE DOWNTOWN AREA, WE ALSO HAVE BUILD-TO-ZONES.
THOSE ARE DEPENDING ON WHAT TYPE OF STREET FRONTAGE YOU ARE BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
IF YOU'RE ON A MORE HEAVILY TRAVELED STREET AND A LESS TRAVELED STREET, SO WE HAVE THAT ALL FACTORED INTO THOSE TYPES OF CONSIDERATIONS.
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT PLAN DEVELOPMENT, ZONING DISTRICTS ARE GOING TO BE PRESENTED TO YOU.
WE DID ADD A NEW REQUIREMENT THAT THERE'S A MINIMUM FIVE CONTIGUOUS ACRES FOR THAT.
THIS IS TO HELP HAVE A COHESIVE DEVELOPMENT RATHER THAN GETTING REALLY SMALLER PIECEMEAL.
ONE LOT DEVELOPMENTS REQUESTING A PD.
THIS WILL HELP REDUCE THAT REQUESTS FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING.
WITH OUR GRAPHICS, WE DID ADD STANDARDS IN THERE SO PEOPLE, YOUR AVERAGE RESIDENT, COULD GO AHEAD AND TAKE A LOOK AT THESE AND SEE, OKAY, THIS IS HOW I'M DEFINING MY FRONT YARD, SIDE YARD, THESE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS.
WE LOOKED AT THE USES AS WELL.
WE HAVE A USE CHART THAT ESTABLISHES ALL THE USES THAT ARE ALLOWED IN OUR DIFFERENT DISTRICTS.
SO WHEN SOMEONE LOOKS AT THEY CAN SEE THE USE, THEY CAN CLICK ON THAT.
THEY CAN HAVE A DEFINITION FOR WHAT THAT USE IS, WHERE IT'S ALLOWED, WHETHER IT'S PERMITTED BY RIGHT OR REQUIRES A SPECIAL USE PERMIT WHICH WOULD REQUIRE P AND Z AND COUNSEL ACTION OR WHETHER IT'S NOT ALLOWED.
WE ALSO HAVE OUR DESIGN STANDARDS AS WELL.
PEOPLE CAN CLICK AND SEE IF THERE'S A SPECIAL STANDARD THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT TYPE OF USE.
AND THEN WE HAVE OUR PARKING RATIOS.
WE DID WITH OUR WORKSHOP THAT WE HAD A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.
SO WE'VE UPDATED THE REGULATIONS WITH THE OUTCOME OF THAT MEETING AND THE COUNCIL'S DESIRE.
SO WE DO MAINTAIN REGULATIONS FOR ESTABLISHMENT THAT SELL 75% OR MORE OF THEIR GROSS REVENUE COME FROM ALCOHOL SALES.
WE DID REMOVE THE RETAIL SALES RESTRICTION, AND SO ONCE AGAIN, JUST REALLY FOLLOWING UP FROM THE DIRECTION THAT WE HAD AT THE LAST WORKSHOP.
OTHER THINGS THAT MAY BE OF INTEREST, THE NEW FOOD TRUCK PARK REGULATIONS, ONCE AGAIN, PROVIDING WITH THESE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENTS COME IN AND WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE NICE FACILITIES, WHETHER THEY HAVE AND MAKING SURE THAT THAT RESTROOM FACILITIES, CONNECTIONS FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER, WASTE RECEPTACLES, A PARKING ON IMPROVED SURFACES, THOSE TYPES OF ELEMENTS.
WE ALSO DO HAVE STANDARDS FOR WHEN WE'RE SEEING MORE MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT COME IN AS FAR AS THE RATIO OF THAT MIX USE AND ALSO THE STANDARDS FOR THOSE BUILDINGS, WHETHER IT'S ARTICULATION, ROOF TREATMENT, WINDOWS, GROUND FLOOR, USES THOSE TYPES OF ELEMENTS.
ALSO ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS.
THAT'S ONE THING WE JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT.
WE HAVE STANDARDS FOR THOSE ABOUT HOW BIG THEY CAN BE.
THEY ARE SUBORDINATE, OF COURSE, TO THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE OF A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME.
THESE WOULD BE LOCATED IN THE REAR.
CHAPTER FOUR, THAT'S WHEN WE GOT INTO OUR DIVISION FOR US, WHEN WE GOT INTO OUR STANDARDS AND WE HAVE NINE SUBSECTIONS AND THEY'RE JUST HIGHLIGHTING THEM REAL QUICKLY.
WE HAVE STANDARDS FOR COURSE, OUR VISIBILITY TRIANGLES, SETBACKS.
TRYING TO PROTECT NEIGHBORHOODS AS YOU KNOW MORE BUILDINGS MAYBE GOING VERTICAL, MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S GOOD SEPARATION BETWEEN USES AND RESIDENTIAL USES.
WE HAVE STANDARDS FOR SINGLE-FAMILY, MULTI-FAMILY TOWN HOME DEVELOPMENT, MIXED-USE, NON-RESIDENTIAL STANDARDS.
WE HAVE REGULATIONS THAT ADDRESS BUILDING ARTICULATION, ALSO ROOF TREATMENT, ON-SITE AMENITIES.
[00:20:03]
IF WE'RE HAVING MULTIFAMILY STRUCTURES, WHAT TYPE OF ON-SITE AMENITIES GO WITH THOSE? WE LOOKED AT OUR PROCEDURES, HOW THE PROCEDURES WERE COMING THROUGH FROM A SUP AND ALL THOSE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROCEDURES, HOW SOMETHING WOULD GO THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE.WE DO HAVE A TABLE FOR SOMEONE TO SEE IF I HAVE A CONCEPT PLAN WHO'S REVIEWING THAT? ONE OF THE MAIN CHANGES THAT WE'VE HIGHLIGHTED BEFORE AT THE AT THE LAST MINUTE, AS WELL AS COUNSEL WILL NO LONGER BE THE APPROVAL AUTHORITY FOR THE CONCEPT PLANS, PRELIMINARY SITE PLANS AND THE SITE PLANS APPEAL TO AUTHORITY COMING TO THE COUNCIL FOR THE CONCEPT PLANS AND THE SITE PLANS, AND THEN FOR OUR PRELIMINARY SITE PLANS, I'M SORRY, AND THEN FOR THE FINAL SITE PLANS, THAT'S A DIRECTOR APPROVAL WITH APPEAL TO P AND Z.
WE LOOKED AT, OF COURSE, ADDED GRAPHICS AND TABLES TO SHOW SOMEONE HOW AN APPLICATION WOULD GO THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
AND THOSE WERE THE KEY HIGHLIGHTS THAT I WANTED TO MENTION.
AS ROSS TALKED ABOUT OPTION 2 FROM AFTER THE P AND Z WHICH WE WOULD RECOMMEND TO BE INCORPORATED ON PAGE 24 OF THE DOCUMENT EXEMPTING THE DOWNTOWN FROM THE THOR OVERLAY DISTRICT ON PAGE 29, CHANGING BREW PUBS WANDERING TO BE PERMITTED BY RIGHT AND C1, SAME WITH TASTING ROOMS ON PAGE 30, AND THEN ON PAGE 38, 39, WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, ONCE AGAIN, EXEMPTING THE DOWNTOWN AREA FROM THAT SUBSECTION.
WITH THAT, WE'RE HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS YOU MAY HAVE AND HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE.
>> THANK YOU. COUNCIL QUESTIONS.
ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC? ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC? I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:27.
>> IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
>> I MOVE TO APPROVE WITH OPTION 2.
>> THE MOTION BY COUNCILMAN BECKER WAS SECOND BY COUNCILMAN WALKER. ARE ALL IN FAVOR?
MOVING ON TO ITEM F, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER/DISCUSS/ACTION ON OUR ORDINANCE TO REZONE TWO VACANT LOTS, 0.5 ACRES LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF WEST SECOND STREET AND NORTH RIGGINS STREET FROM SF-1, SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO DOWNTOWN DISTRICT TO ALLOW FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF A HEALTH CLUB. MRS TITTLE.
>> GOOD EVENING. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO REZONE THE PROPERTY TO THE NEW DOWNTOWN ZONING DISTRICT TO ALLOW FOR THE USE OF A HEALTH CLUB.
THE DOWNTOWN OR EXCUSE ME, THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN FALLS THE AREA OUT FOR OUR IDENTIFIES IT AS AN ADAPTIVE REUSE/INFILL AREA.
ALSO, THE FUTURE LAND USE IN THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT INDICATES THAT DECISION SHOULD ACCOMMODATE THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD WHILE ENCOURAGING A TRANSITION INTO A MORE ACTIVE ENVIRONMENT WITH MORE DIVERSE BUILDING STOCK.
PROPOSED ZONING REQUEST ENCOURAGES A NEW USE AND THE TRANSITION TO MORE ACTIVE ENVIRONMENT AND IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE ADAPTIVE REUSE/INFILL DESIGNATION AS WELL AS THE CITY'S VISION OF THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT.
STAFF DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RESPONSES OPPOSING THE REQUEST AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AT THE AUGUST 7TH PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.
THE APPLICANT IS ALSO HERE, SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM? THE SADDAM'S A PUBLIC HEARING.
I'M OPENING A PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:29.
ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC? COMMENTS? I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:29.
COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS? PRETTY QUIET GROUP TONIGHT.
>> THE MOTION BY THE MAYOR PRO TEM TO HAVE A SECOND?
>> SECOND BY THE COUNCILMAN CAIN. ARE ALL IN FAVOR?
[00:25:01]
ITEM G, FIRST READING OF RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ANNA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION TO ENTER INTO A LOAN AGREEMENT WITH GOVERNMENT CAPITAL CORPORATION TO FINANCE LAND ACQUISITION. MR. GRISHAM.>> MAYOR, IF YOU WILL READ THIS, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE YOU HAVE TO READ IT TWICE.
REMEMBER, I DIDN'T COME UP WITH THIS WALL. [LAUGHTER]
>> THE WORDING SHOULD BE ON THERE ON THE PACKET.
>> A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ANNA, TEXAS AND THEN IT DOES NOT LOOK RIGHT.
BEAR WITH ME. SORRY, I WAS ON CONSENT.
>> SHE'S GOT IT. TWO READINGS ARE REQUIRED, AND I WILL READ THE FIRST READING WHICH IS A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL, OF THE CITY OF ANNA, RATIFIED AND AUTHORIZING THE ANNA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION TO ENTER INTO A LOAN AGREEMENT WITH GOVERNMENT CAPITAL CORPORATION TO FINANCE LAND ACQUISITION.
I'M GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM H, WHICH IS THE SECOND READING OF A RESOLUTION.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANNA, TEXAS, RATIFYING AND AUTHORIZING THE ANNA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION TO ENTER INTO A LOAN AGREEMENT WITH GOVERNMENT CAPITAL CORPORATION TO FINANCE LAND ACQUISITION.
ITEM I CONSIDER/DISCUSS/ACTION ON A RESOLUTION RATIFYING AND AUTHORIZING THE ANNA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION TO ENTER INTO A LOAN AGREEMENT WITH GOVERNMENT CAPITAL CORPORATION.
>> I'M GOING TO HAVE THAT IN YOUR MIND ALL NIGHT MAYOR.
MAYOR COUNCIL, GOOD TO BE WITH YOU TONIGHT.
IF YOU ALL RECALL LAST YEAR, THE CDC, EDC HAD A JOINT MEETING WITH COUNCIL AND AFTER THE BUSINESS PARK WAS SOLD DOWN AT THE OUTER LOOP ON HIGHWAY 5, ONE OF THE PRIORITIES FOR THE ECONOMIC COMMITTEE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION WAS TO LOOK AT STRATEGIC PROPERTIES DOWNTOWN, TO REVITALIZE OUR DOWNTOWN, BRING IT TO LIFE, AND REALLY INVEST IN IT.
WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS TO WORK WITH A FEW LANDOWNERS AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF SEVENTH STREET AND THE HIGHWAY 5 HERE, AND WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO THEM QUITE A BIT AND WE'VE HAVE BETTER WISE FROM ALL PARTIES AND WHAT THIS IS TONIGHT IS WHAT OUR CDC BOARD APPROVED, WHICH IS A LOAN AGREEMENT WITH GOVERNMENT CAPITAL CORPORATION, NOT TO EXCEED $1.8 MILLION.
WE DO HAVE SOME CASH AVAILABLE, BUT AS YOU KNOW, IS A PART OF THE FY24 BUDGET, THE CDC WILL BE PUTTING FORWARD ABOUT $2 MILLION FOR THE CITY PLAZA.
GOVERNMENT CAPITAL HAS DONE QUITE A FEW PROJECTS FOR ANNA AND THE EDC, AS WELL AS 500 PLUS CITIES ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS.
AGAIN, THE BOARD MET, IT WAS POSTED IN THE NEWSPAPER.
AS FAR AS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE PROPERTY ONCE WE CLOSE ON IT, WE WILL ISSUE AN RFP REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL TO DEVELOPERS.
WE'VE ALREADY HAD INTEREST OUT THERE FROM SEVERAL PEOPLE.
OUR VISION FOR THAT IS TO REALLY DO SOMETHING VERY NICE, HIGH-QUALITY, CONTINUED INVESTMENT OF DOWNTOWN.
OBVIOUSLY TO CONTINUE ON WITH WHAT'S BEEN DONE HERE WITH A MUNICIPAL PLAZA.
THE UPCOMING LIBRARY, THE NEW FIRE STATION WILL DISCONTINUE THAT ON.
AS THESE OPPORTUNITIES BECOME AVAILABLE, THE CDC WILL CONTINUE TO FIND THESE OPPORTUNITIES TO PURCHASE LAND.
THEN OBVIOUSLY, WHEN YOU OWN LAND, YOU CAN CONTROL THE USE.
AS YOU SAW OVER THERE OUR DOWNTOWN ORDINATES RE-WRITE, IT IS CRITICAL THAT WE REALLY TRY TO PROTECT AS MUCH AS WE CAN THE DOWNTOWN CORE AREAS.
AGAIN, WE CAN CONTINUE TO BRING IN THINGS LIKE THE BERRY AND OTHER REALLY UNIQUE PROJECTS.
I'D BE HAPPY TO GET ANY MORE DETAILS ON THE LOAN AGREEMENT OR ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ON.
>> WE HAVE A MOTION ON THAT OVER THERE.
>> I'LL MAKE A MOTION WE APPROVE.
>> MOTION BY THE MAYOR TOTEN TO HAVE A SECOND.
>> SECOND BY COUNCILMAN TOTEN. ARE ALL IN FAVOR? COUNCIL MEMBER TOTEN?
[00:30:01]
ITEM K, CONSIDER/DISCUSS/ACTION ON A RESOLUTION-
>> ADAM JAKE, CONSIDER THIS TRANSACTION ON A RESOLUTION TO PREVENT A MINIMUM VALUE TO LEAN RATIO WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE WOODS AT LINDSEY PLAY SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT, MR. GREER.
>> YES. SO THANK MAYOR. THIS IS MUCH EASIER.
SO AS YOU RECALL, WE HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE ON THE ANIKA PRE-DEVELOPMENT OF AS PART OF OUR PED POLICY.
IF WE GO ON THE VALUE OF THE LEAN RATIO BELOW 3:1 AS A PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, IT STATES THAT WE WOULD COME BACK TO COUNCIL WITH AN APPROVAL OR RESOLUTION.
SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TONIGHT IS A MINIMUM VALUE TO LEAN RATIO OF 1.8.
WE THINK IT COULD BE HIGHER JUST DEPENDING ON HOW THE THE FINAL APPRAISAL COMES IN AT, THE NUMBERS.
BUT BASED ON WHAT WE'RE SEEING, WE FEEL COMFORTABLE TO RECOMMEND 1.8 MINIMUM BAY TO LEAN RATIO ON THE LINDSEY PLACE.
IF YOU WILL INCLUDE THAT IN THE MOTION.
FILL IN THAT BLANK ON YOUR PACKET.
>> I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AS AMENDED WITH THE MINIMUM VALUE TO LEAN RATIO OF 1.8.
>> MOTION BY THE MAYOR PRO TEM.
>> COUNCILMAN CAIN SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR?
ITEM K, CONSIDER DISCUSS ACTION ON A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A PARK FEE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF ANNA, TEXAS AND SKORBURG LOT DEVELOPMENT IN THE FORM OF APPROVED BY CITY ATTORNEY AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. MR. PETERS.
>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THIS ITEM BEFORE YOU IS FOR A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT OR A PARK FEE REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT THAT IS RELATED TO A PROJECT THAT CAME BEFORE YOU-ALL RECENTLY.
SO UP ON THE SCREEN YOU CAN SEE THE OVERALL CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT.
AND THEN HIGHLIGHTED IN RED ROUGHLY IT'S A 28 ACRE PARK LAND DEDICATION THAT THE DEVELOPER WOULD BE MAKING TO THE CITY.
SO THAT PROPERTY WOULD BECOME CITY PROPERTY FOR OUR USE.
WHAT THE DEVELOPER'S PROPOSING THEN IS IN LIEU OF THE PARK DEVELOPMENT FEES THAT ARE TYPICALLY PAID ON A PER LOT BASIS FOR SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND FOR MULTIFAMILY, THE DEVELOPER WOULD TAKE THE SUM TOTAL OF THOSE FUNDS THAT WOULD BE ANTICIPATED TO BE COLLECTED FROM THE PROJECT AND INVEST THEM IN CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS AT THE PARK.
SO WHAT YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THIS CONCEPT PLAN THAT THE DEVELOPER HAS PROVIDED IS A LIST OF THE BASE BID AMENITIES AND THE ALTERNATIVE BID AMENITIES.
AT THIS TIME, WE DO NOT KNOW HOW FAR DOWN THAT LIST OF ALTERNATE BID AMENITIES WE WOULD BE ABLE TO INCLUDE IN THE APPROXIMATELY $1.9 MILLION THAT IS THE TOTAL VALUE OF THE PARK DEVELOPMENT FEES.
BUT THE $1.9 MILLION WOULD BE USED TO FUND, DESIGN, AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE BASE BID AMENITIES PLUS DESIGN OF THE ALTERNATE BID AMENITIES AND CONSTRUCTION OF ANY OF THOSE THAT WOULD FIT WITHIN THE BUDGET.
THE WAY THE AGREEMENT IS CURRENTLY DRAFTED, IT WOULD ALLOW FOR THE PARK BOARD TO WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER TO FINALIZE THE LIST OF AMENITIES.
AND THEN THE DEVELOPER WOULD DESIGN THE PROJECT IN ITS ENTIRETY.
GO OUT TO BID PRIVATELY, AND THEN SELECT THEIR TEAM THAT WOULD COME IN AND CONSTRUCT THOSE IMPROVEMENTS ON THE CITY'S PARKLAND.
THEN THERE ARE SPECIFIC TIMELINES WRITTEN INTO THE AGREEMENT FOR THE DEVELOPER TO HAVE AMENITIES IN PLACE BEFORE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF HOMES BEING OCCUPIED.
SO IT'S SPLIT INTO TWO DIFFERENT SECTIONS ON THAT PORTION OF THE AGREEMENT.
THE DEVELOPER IS NOT HERE TONIGHT.
HE WAS PLANNING ON BEING HERE BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO ATTEND.
BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE OR IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE US TO GO BACK TO THE DEVELOPER ON REGARDING THIS ITEM, I'D BE HAPPY TO DO THAT AND WORK WITH HIM TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. THANK YOU.
[00:35:07]
>> THANK YOU. COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON ITEM K.
>> HI, EVERYBODY IS LOOKING AT ME.
SO WITH THE DEVELOPER NOT HERE, I'M GOING TO, WHICH ITEM IS THIS? I'VE ALREADY LOST LETTERS.
>> K, I WANT TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TABLE IT AND TAKE NO ACTION ON ITEM K.
>> YOU GOT TO PICK ONE OF THOSE.
>> I WANT TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TAKE NO ACTION ON ITEM 6K.
>> MOTION BY COUNCILMAN TOTEN, WE'LL HAVE A SECOND.
>> MOTION BY TOTEN SECOND BY THE MAYOR. ALL IN FAVOR?
SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE DISCUSSION.
>> [OVERLAPPING] IF YOU SAY YES, IT'S FOUR, THREE.
>> OKAY. SEVEN CLOSED SESSIONS UNDER TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE CHAPTER 551, CITY COUNCIL,
