[4. Director's Report.]
THANK YOU. CHAIR, COMMISSIONERS. I JUST WANT TO GO THROUGH A FEW ITEMS THAT WENT BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL AT ITS JUNE 24TH MEETING OF YOUR CONCERN.SO AT THAT MEETING, THE COUNCIL APPROVED A THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE SHIRLEY TRACT SUBDIVISION AND IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT, WHICH IS YOU WOULD KNOW AS HURRICANE CREEK IS ONE OF THE COMMERCIAL PROJECTS RELATED TO HER HURRICANE CREEK DEVELOPMENT. THAT THIRD AMENDMENT BASICALLY STATED THAT THE DEVELOPER'S OBLIGATION TO CONSTRUCT A RESTAURANT AND WATER FEATURE AND OTHER NONRESIDENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BE DELETED IN EXCHANGE FOR THEM BUILDING TWO LANES OF STANDRIDGE BOULEVARD FROM STOCKPORT TO ROSAMOND TO MAKE THAT VITAL CONNECTION. SO AS OF RIGHT NOW STANDRIDGE DOES NOT GO ALL THE WAY UP TO ROSAMOND.
AND SO THAT WILL THIS WAS AN AMENDMENT THAT WAS REALLY HELPFUL FOR THE FIRE AND PUBLIC SAFETY FOLKS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A CONNECTION MADE ON THAT PART OF TOWN SO THEY CAN ACCESS THE RESIDENTS OVER IN THAT AREA. SO THAT WAS A REALLY IMPORTANT AMENDMENT SO THAT IMPROVEMENT WILL BE MADE WITHIN 12 MONTHS FOLLOWING CITY APPROVAL OF ENGINEERING PLANS. SO, THEY'RE HOPING TO GET THAT TWO LANE STRETCH GOING VERY SOON.
ALSO, COUNCIL APPROVED THE REZONING FOR THE PROPERTY AT 703 EAST WHITE STREET.
THEY ALSO APPROVED A ZONING AMENDMENT FOR THE VILLAGES AT WATERS CREEK PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.
THEY DENIED THE REZONING OF THE POST AT ANNA, WHICH IS THE PROPERTY THAT YOU MAY RECALL OVER AT THE ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF 75 AND WEST OUTER LOOP.
AND THEN THEY ALSO DENIED THE DEVELOPMENT PLAT FOR SIR DUNCAN CITY.
AND THAT IS ALL THAT I HAVE. THANK YOU.
MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SIX FOR CONSENT ITEMS.
[6. Consent Items.]
AT THIS TIME, DOES ANY COMMISSIONER WISH TO PULL AN ITEM FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA? DO I HAVE A MOTION? I MOTION TO APPROVE. I SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION OF APPROVAL FROM COMMISSIONER HERMANN AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER MARTIN. AT THIS TIME, COMMISSIONERS, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.[00:05:06]
MOTION PASSES 7 TO 1. OR 7 TO 0. UNANIMOUS. MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER SEVEN.[7. Items For Individual Consideration and Public Hearings.]
ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION AND PUBLIC HEARINGS.SEVENTH STREET AND EAST EASTON DRIVE FROM SINGLE FAMILY, ONE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD WITH A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A MULTI-FAMILY DWELLING. OWNER IS HAMEED ZEESHAN.
THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF E.
SEVENTH STREET AND EASTON. AS YOU MAY KNOW, THE MAJORITY OF SINGLE FAMILY PROPERTIES WITHIN THE GREATER DOWNTOWN AREA IS ZONED SF1 , WHICH IS AN OLDER ZONING DISTRICT. THAT'S NOT PART OF TODAY'S ZONING ORDINANCE.
IT'S A CARRYOVER FROM ZONING ORDINANCES IN THE PAST.
THE PROPERTY, AS IT EXISTS TODAY WOULD NOT MEET THE SF 1 ZONING DISTRICT, AND THEREFORE THEY HAD TO GET THE VARIANCES FOR THE FRONT YARD SETBACK, THE SIDE YARD SETBACK, THE LOT AREA, AS WELL AS THE LOT DEPTH.
TONIGHT'S REQUEST IS TWO PARTS. ONE IS TO REZONE THE PROPERTY TO DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND THE SECOND PART IS THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR THE FOUR-UNIT MULTIFAMILY DWELLING.
THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN IDENTIFIES THIS PROPERTY AS URBAN LIVING.
AND THEN THIS IS A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUEST.
SO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL CAN ADD ADDITIONAL STIPULATIONS TO IT.
THEREFORE, IT IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD ZONING DISTRICT.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO DEVELOP A BUILDING THAT IS SIMILAR TO THIS PHOTO, WHERE IT WOULD BE A TWO-STORY BUILDING THAT WOULD CONTAIN FOUR UNITS. STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE APPLICANT DEVELOP IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONCEPT PLAN, PROVIDED THAT THERE BE A MAXIMUM OF FOUR RESIDENTIAL UNITS, AND THAT, AS SHOWN ON THE CONCEPT PLAN, EACH UNIT HAS ITS OWN GARAGE, AND THAT IS THE END OF MY PRESENTATION.
THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE IS HERE FOR QUESTIONS.
AT THIS TIME. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:12 P.M..
DOES ANY COMMISSIONER HAVE ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? DO THEY HAVE PARKING? CAN YOU GO BACK ON THAT PLAN REAL QUICK? SO THEY'RE SHOWING ONE PARKING SPACE IN A GARAGE FOR EACH UNIT, AND THEN IT'S A LITTLE BIT HARD TO SEE IN THE TREES.
THERE'S THE ONE VISITOR PARKING SPOT THAT IS REQUIRED.
FOR ALL THESE UNITS TO BE THE SAME SIZE. I'LL LEAVE THAT QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT REPRESENTATIVE.
HOW BIG ARE THE UNITS? I'LL HAVE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? THANKS, LAUREN.
ALL RIGHT. DOES THE APPLICANT WISH TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSIONERS? YEAH, WE HAVE SOME QUESTIONS. IF YOU'LL JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND THE COMPANY YOU WORK FOR.
GOOD EVENING. COMMISSIONERS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR CONSIDERATION.
OH. I'M SORRY. CAN YOU HEAR ME? OKAY. MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE] .
THE ADDRESS IS 1001 EAST HEBRON PARKWAY, CARROLLTON, TEXAS, 75010.
I WAS JUST SAYING THAT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, I APPRECIATE IT.
I DID HAVE A SMALL PRESENTATION. BUT I BELIEVE LAUREN, MISS LAUREN HAS ALREADY COVERED EVERYTHING, SO I DON'T THINK THAT'S NECESSARY. SO HOW LARGE ARE THE UNITS? HOW MANY BEDROOMS? WE'RE THINKING AROUND 950FT².
BETWEEN 850 AND 950. IT'S A SMALL LOT. IT DEPENDS WHAT WE CAN FIT.
THERE WILL BE A SECOND STORY. WELL, ASIDE FROM ONE, BECAUSE THEY'LL HAVE THE GARAGES UNDERNEATH.
[00:10:03]
WE'RE KIND OF THINKING LIKE A TOWNHOME STYLE UNIT FOR EACH ONE.SO. SO YOU HAVE A ONE CAR GARAGE FOR THAT? YES.
AND THEN ONE VISITOR SPACE. SO IF TWO PEOPLE ARE LIVING THERE, THEY WOULD TAKE BOTH THOSE SPACES.
YES, THERE SHOULD BE. OKAY. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKER CARDS ON THIS ITEM? I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:14 P.M. AND CONFINE COMMENTS.
I AM ABLE TO SPEAK ON THIS? I JUST ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY PUBLIC SPEAKER CARDS.
THERE'S SOME PAPERWORK OVER THERE IN THE CORNER IF YOU WANT TO GRAB ONE AND FILL IT OUT. WE'LL BE MORE THAN GLAD TO HEAR YOU. I'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE, SO HAVING SOME DIRECTION WOULD BE HELPFUL.
ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO REOPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:16 P.M..
WE DO HAVE SPEAKER CARDS. FIRST UP, WE HAVE BROOKE HENDRIX.
IF YOU'LL PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS ON THE PODIUM.
BROOKE HENDRIX, 405 EAST MAIN STREET. ANNA. OKAY.
THAT'S PROBABLY THE SMALLEST LOT ON THAT WHOLE SIDE OF TOWN.
AND YOU'RE GOING TO PUT 4000 SOMETHING SQUARE FEET ON A 6000 SQUARE FOOT LOT.
THAT'S FOR FOUR HOUSES? THAT'S EIGHT CARS. YOU DON'T HAVE ROOM FOR EIGHT CARS.
AND PLUS THE CITY SOONER OR LATER IS GOING TO CURB THAT ROAD JUST LIKE THEY DID SMITH STREET AND TAKE A LITTLE MORE OF THAT PROPERTY AWAY. SO NOW YOU'VE GOT A WHOLE LOT LESS. THERE'S JUST NOT ROOM FOR THAT OVER THERE.
YOU GOT SCHOOL BUSSES RUNNING DAILY THERE. THERE'S NOT ROOM FOR ALL THAT.
I MEAN, I THINK EVERYBODY PROBABLY HAS FIGURED THAT OUT.
THEY'RE JUST NOT RUNNING. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE I CAN SAY OTHER THAN THAT.
RYAN LONG. SO PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
RYAN LONG 4 11 EASTERN. YOU CAN GO AHEAD.
OKAY. MULTIPLE THINGS THAT I WANT TO BRING UP.
I KNOW BROOKE'S BEEN IN THE LOCATION HE'S AT FOR A LOT OF YEARS.
I'VE BEEN IN ANNA NOW 21 YEARS. WE HAVE WATCHED THE GROWTH OF THE CITY.
A LOT OF IT GREAT. SEEING A LOT OF MULTIFAMILY PROPERTY GOING IN.
TONS OF ROOM FOR IT. THERE'S A LOT OF LAND IN ANNA.
[00:15:02]
THAT SPOT, AIN'T IT. YOU GOT MULTIPLE ISSUES ON THAT CORNER, NUMBER ONE, THAT'S, LIKE BROOK SAID, THAT'S THE SMALLEST LOT OVER THERE. IT HADN'T BEEN DEVELOPED BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T PUT A SINGLE HOUSE ON IT.NOW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT TRYING TO PUT A FOURPLEX.
THAT CORNER IS ALSO WHERE ALL SCHOOL BUSSES TURN.
FOR MY UNDERSTANDING, THERE'S A WELL IN THE AREA AS ANYBODY ADDRESSED THAT.
THERE'S NOT ROOM FOR IT. ALSO, FOR MY UNDERSTANDING, THE EXPANSION OF THE CITY GOING FORWARD LOOKS TO ENGULF THAT AREA AS WELL. DOES THE DEVELOPER KNOW THAT? THERE'S A HUNDRED DIFFERENT REASONS THAT I CAN THINK OF AFTER LIVING ON THAT PROPERTY FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS. BEING AN ANNA FOR THE LAST 21.
WHY THAT IS NOT WHAT IS NEEDED IN THAT SPOT. IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.
IT WOULD HAVE ALREADY HAD AT LEAST A SINGLE HOUSE ON IT IF IT WAS EVEN BIG ENOUGH FOR THAT.
I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU IF YOU HAVEN'T WALKED TO THAT AREA.
IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN OVER THERE, GO LOOK AT IT.
TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE GOT THEIR ENTIRE LIFE INVESTMENT ACROSS THE STREET.
THERE'S PLENTY OF MULTIFAMILY ALREADY BUILT HERE.
PLEASE TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU.
AT THIS TIME, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:21 P.M..
LAUREN, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU OR STEPHANIE.
CAN YOU DISCUSS WITH US THE REQUIREMENTS FOR PARKING? THE REQUIREMENTS FOR PARKING FOR MULTIFAMILY IS.
WE JUST CHANGED IT RECENTLY. SO IT'S TWO SPACES FOR A TWO BEDROOM OR MORE UNIT, AND IT'S ONE SPACE FOR A STUDIO OR ONE BEDROOM UNIT. AND THEN 0.25 SPACES FOR VISITOR PARKING IS REQUIRED FOR THE TOTAL.
SO PER THAT THIS IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH PLANNING AND ZONING REQUEST FOR PARKING.
CORRECT. IT IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ZONING ORDINANCE.
ADDITIONALLY, OF THE REQUIRED RESIDENCE SPACES, 50% HAS TO BE COVERED EITHER THROUGH A CARPORT, A TUCK UNDER, OR A GARAGE. AND THEY HAVE ALL FOUR RESIDENT PARKING SPACES IN GARAGES.
WHEN Y'ALL ARE LOOKING AT THE CALCULATIONS FOR PARKING, OR Y'ALL CONSIDERING THE DRIVEWAYS BEING PARKING SPACE TO THE UNITS, OR YOU'RE JUST CONSIDERING THE GARAGE, IS EACH ONE TENANT PARKING CORRECT? IN THIS CASE, WE ARE NOT CONSIDERING PARKING SPACES JUST BECAUSE OF HOW NARROW IT IS.
TYPICALLY IT HAS TO BE A 20 FOOT SPACE IN DEPTH.
THANK YOU. ANY COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS? IT LOOKS LIKE UNIT, I MEAN, IF I LOOK AT THIS UNIT, ONE APPEARS TO BE QUITE A BIT LARGER THAN THE OTHER UNITS.
I WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE THE PROJECT REPRESENTATIVE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION, BUT THAT'S WHAT IS ASSUMED SINCE IT'S ON THE GROUND FLOOR AND THE OTHER THREE WOULD BE ABOVE.
COULD YOU COME BACK UP? I'M SORRY. SHE ASKED IF THE UNITS WERE GOING TO BE ABOVE THE GARAGE. SO UNIT ONE LOOKS TO BE IF I LOOK AT THIS, UNIT ONE LOOKS TO BE QUITE A LARGE UNIT. IS IT A ONE BEDROOM UNIT? IT IS A ONE BEDROOM. AND IT'S NOT REALLY THE PLANS.
OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS A CONCEPT PLAN. SO IT'S ONLY IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A LOT BIGGER.
IT MAY BE 900 AND SOMETHING, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE HUGELY BIGGER.
I KNOW IT LOOKS LIKE THAT RIGHT NOW, BUT THAT'S NOT REALLY THE CASE.
[00:20:01]
WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND HAVE THEM AS ALL AS EASY AS POSSIBLE. BUT YES, UNIT ONE WILL BE FINE.SO THE OTHER THREE UNITS THOUGH ARE JUST COMPLETELY OVER THE GARAGE.
YES. CORRECT. SO THEY'LL BE UPSTAIRS GOING STRAIGHT UP.
THIS ONE WILL HAVE JUST AN ENTRY FROM THE GARAGE TO THE BACK UNIT ONE.
AND THEN THE REST WILL HAVE LIKE TOWNHOME STYLE.
SO JUST STAIRS GOING UP THE SIDE AND. AND ONE BEDROOM? CORRECT. AND HOW MANY SQUARE FEET PER UNIT? BETWEEN 850 AND 9 00.
800? 850. 850. AND WE WERE TRYING TO TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION EVERYTHING WE SAID.
THE POINT OF THE GARAGES WAS TO KEEP WORKING OFF OF THE STREET TO MAKE IT A SINGLE FAMILY.
THIS LOT IS DIRECTLY ON THAT CUSP OF NEIGHBORHOODS.
AS LONG AS MENTIONING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THE 2050 MASTER PLAN.
YOU KNOW, IT'S RIGHT ON THAT THAT VERY CUSP OF THE TWO.
SO IF ANYWHERE, I FEEL LIKE FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR THIS TYPE OF IT WOULD KIND OF BE, THIS WOULD BE THE PLACE JUST BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT BETWEEN THE [INAUDIBLE] AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WITH REGARD TO EVERYTHING ELSE [INAUDIBLE].
HEY, LAUREN, CAN YOU PULL UP THE LOCATOR MAP? THERE YOU GO. THANKS.
STEPHANIE AND LAUREN. I KNOW YOU GUYS WORK HAND IN HAND WITH CDC, EDC, AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
CAN YOU ALL TELL US THE PLANS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE IN MOTION THAT ARE GOING TO COME IN HERE THAT AFFECT THE DOWNTOWN AREA, LIKE WHAT THEY ARE? I KNOW, MAYBE NOT GIVE OUT NAMES OF ANYTHING BECAUSE IT'S NOT CONCRETE BUT KIND OF HIGH LEVEL DISCUSS AND TELL US WHAT ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE ALREADY KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, HAVE COME IN FRONT OF US OR ON THEIR WAY TO COME IN FRONT OF US FOR THE DOWNTOWN PLANS? BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S A DEVELOPMENT ON ITS WAY.
I KIND OF WOULD LIKE FOR ONE OF Y'ALL TO SPEAK TO THAT.
CHAIR WALDEN, YES. SO THE EDC IS LOOKING TO BRING A DEVELOPMENT TO THE PROPERTY THAT IT OWNS.
THANK YOU. DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS BUILDING OFF INTERURBAN AND SEVENTH.
THEY'RE LOOKING TO DO A ONE-STORY BUILDING THAT INCLUDES MULTIPLE RESTAURANTS.
AND THAT PROJECT IS GOING TO. SO THEY REZONED IT RECENTLY FOR THAT USE.
AND THE SITE PLAN AND ALL OF THAT WILL BE COMING FORTH TO VIEW SOON. IN ADDITION, OF COURSE, THERE'S THE LIBRARY THAT'S BEING BUILT HERE ON THIS PROPERTY. AND THEN A PEDESTRIAN PLAZA IS ALSO BEING CONTEMPLATED JUST NORTH OF MUNICIPAL CITY HALL. COULD YOU SHOW FOR THEM? KIND OF RIGHT THROUGH.
IS THAT SIX? I GUESS JUST NORTH THAT. I CAN'T THINK OF.
WHAT IS THAT? IS IT ABOUT INTERURBAN? IS IT INTERURBAN? YEAH. ALONG INTERURBAN THAT RUNS DEAD IN INTO THIS PROPERTY HERE.
THOSE ARE THE PROJECTS THAT I KNOW OF. OF COURSE THEY ARE.
THERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT THEY'RE ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, KIND OF WORKING ON.
BUT THOSE ARE THE PROJECTS THAT I AM MOST FAMILIAR WITH AT THIS TIME.
LAUREN, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE DOWNTOWN ZONING? THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN? YES, PLEASE. THANK YOU.
[00:25:01]
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT GUYS, WHAT'S YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS ONE? IT IS A SMALL LOT. IT IS PART OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE DOWNTOWN PLAN.IT MATCHES BOTH OF THEM ACTUALLY CONCERNS ON PARKING.
I MEAN, THEY'VE MET THE MINIMUM PARKING. THAT DOESN'T MEAN MINIMAL IS WHAT'S BEST FOR THAT AREA.
YOU MENTIONED SETBACKS EARLY ON IT. THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS APPROVED.
SO AS FAR AS THE SETBACKS ISSUE, THAT'S ALREADY APPROVED ALLOWED.
SO ONE OF THE UNIQUE THINGS ABOUT THE DOWNTOWN ZONING DISTRICT IS INSTEAD OF A FRONT YARD SETBACK, WE HAVE WHAT'S CALLED BUILD TWO ZONES. IN THIS CASE THE DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT REQUIRES THE FRONT, A PORTION OF A FRONT OF THE BUILDING TO BE WITHIN.
AND TYPICALLY IN ANNA, IT'S 25FT FOR MOST COMMERCIAL AND SINGLE-FAMILY PROPERTIES.
ADDITIONALLY, THE SIDE YARDS ARE SMALLER IN THE DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD DISTRICT.
AND I REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT TO US, AND IT'S THE SAME OWNER THAT'S COME TO US TODAY FOR THIS.
AND THEY WERE ADAMANT THAT THIS, THEY WANTED TO BUILD, YOU KNOW, JUST A LITTLE SINGLE-FAMILY HOME.
[INAUDIBLE] THE PROPERTY OWNER TODAY IS WHO IS THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS APPLICANT.
THEY ARE NOT THE APPLICANT FOR THIS REQUEST. THAT'S BECAUSE THEY OWN THE PROPERTY.
THEY'RE STILL THE OWNER. THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF SELLING THE PROPERTY.
OKAY. SO THE MODIFICATIONS MOVE TO GO BACK TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AGAIN? THE VARIANCE IS RUN WITH THE LAND AS LONG AS THE ZONING STAYS THE SAME.
IF THEY SWITCH TO THE DOWNTOWN ZONING, THEN THE BOA VARIANCES BECOME NULL.
KNOW THAT I'M GOING TO TURN THE MICS ON. SO WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING RIGHT NOW IS THE NARROW STREETS, THE FUTURE OF THE DOWNTOWN AREA WHERE THIS IS ADJACENT TO THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN AND FUTURE GROWTH.
I KNOW IT SEEMS KIND OF LIKE ODD MAN OUT PUTTING THIS WHERE IT'S AT RIGHT NOW, BUT KNOWING THE GROWTH THAT'S COMING IN FRONT OF US, KNOWING WHAT'S DOWN THE PIPELINE WITH CDC, EDC, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, I MEAN, EVENTUALLY ALL OF THESE STREETS WILL BE WIDENED, EVENTUALLY WILL HAVE A LOT MORE COMMERCIAL, RETAIL, RESTAURANTS.
AND THE INTENT IS TO MAKE THAT ALL WALKING TRAFFIC, ALL ON FOOT, KIND OF TO MAKE A MORE DOWNTOWN AREA, SIMILAR TO THE VAN AUSTIN'S, THE MCKINNEY'S, ETC.
SO THERE'S GOING TO BE IMMENSE CHANGE COMING TO THIS AREA.
AND AS FAR AS IT MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PARKING AND PLANNING AND ZONING IN THE DOWNTOWN, I MEAN, IT MEETS ALL THAT. SO I DON'T SEE A REASON WHY WE WOULD DENY IT OTHER THAN IT'S NOT LIKED BY EVERYBODY.
BUT I'M ALL EARS TO HEAR DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES.
LET'S BOUNCE IDEAS. IF NOT, I'M GOING TO ASK FOR A MOTION.
WHAT WAS STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION ON TOP OF THIS, WILL BE APPROVE IT? TO APPROVE. TO APPROVE WITH. RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL WITH STIPULATIONS.
NO MAN, THE QUESTION WAS ANSWERED. ALL RIGHT.
DO I HAVE A MOTION ON AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SEVEN? I'LL MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE WITH THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONS, NEEDS TO BE DEVELOPED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONCEPT PLAN.
[00:30:02]
MAXIMUM OF FOUR RESIDENTIAL UNITS AND EACH UNIT MUST MAINTAIN THAT ATTACHED GARAGE PLUS THE 0.25 UNIT FOR VISITOR PARKING, GIVING IT AT LEAST FIVE SPOTS ON THE PROPERTY.AT THIS TIME, COMMISSIONERS. EVERYONE, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.
MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. BEFORE WE ADJOURN, I WANT TO THANK COMMISSIONER NYLEC FOR HIS DEDICATION, TIME SERVICE TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING.
TONIGHT WILL BE HIS LAST MEETING, SERVING AS A COMMISSIONER.
SO ALL COMMISSIONERS, I WANT YOU GUYS TO THANK HIM, SHAKE HIS HAND, BE APPRECIATIVE.
WE DON'T GET PAID TO DO WHAT WE DO. WE GET PAID TO SERVE.
WE'RE HERE BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE. SO EVERYBODY REMEMBER THAT WE'RE NOT ALL UP HERE GETTING A CHECK.
SO THANK YOU TREMENDOUSLY FOR BEING UP HERE. IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH YOU.
[APPLAUSE] ALL RIGHT. AND I WILL MOTION TO ADJOURN.
SECOND. MEETING WILL CONCLUDE AT 6:35 P.M..
