[1. Call to Order, Roll Call, and Establishment of Quorum.]
[00:00:06]
HAPPY NEW YEAR! THE TIME IS NOW 6:04 P.M. WE ARE MISSING COMMISSIONERS DEJARNETTE AND HERMANN.
DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, AS WE CENTER OURSELVES IN GRATITUDE FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY, MAY WE COME TOGETHER IN A SPIRIT OF SERVICE, GUIDED BY WISDOM, WITH OPEN HEARTS AND CLEAR MINDS.
[3. Neighbor Comments.]
ALSO, AT THIS TIME, ANY PERSON MAY ADDRESS THE COMMISSION REGARDING AN ITEM THAT IS NOT ON THIS MEETING AGENDA. EACH PERSON WILL BE ALLOWED UP TO THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.NO DISCUSSION OR ACTION MAY BE TAKEN AT THIS MEETING ON ITEMS NOT LISTED ON THIS AGENDA, OTHER THAN TO MAKE STATEMENTS OF SPECIFIC FACTUAL INFORMATION IN RESPONSE TO A NEIGHBOR'S INQUIRY, OR TO RECITE EXISTING POLICY IN RESPONSE TO THE INQUIRY.
WE HAVE TWO SPEAKER CARDS TONIGHT. FIRST UP, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TERRELL CULBERTSON.
IF YOU PLEASE, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR, AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION. MY NAME IS TERRELL CULBERTSON.
I LIVE AT 10429 COUNTY ROAD 289, IN ANNA, WHERE I'VE LIVED FOR OVER 30 YEARS.
I HAVE SOME COMMENTS TO, THIS EVENING TO OFFER TO YOU ON YOUR CONSENT AGENDA ITEM 7.B.
FIRST OF ALL, I'M PLEASED TO SEE THIS ITEM ON THE AGENDA.
THE RECENT CHANGES THAT WERE APPROVED IN THE LAST ELECTION, I BELIEVE, IF MY UNDERSTAND THEM CORRECTLY, REQUIRE NOW THAT THE DEVELOPMENTS HAVE A RECOMMENDATION FROM PLANNING AND ZONING BEFORE THEY GO TO THE CITY COUNCIL, SO I'M PLEASED TO SEE THAT. I HAVE A COUPLE OF CONCERNS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR ITEM.
THE FIRST ONE IS THE LOCATION DESCRIPTION. IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH COUNTY ROAD 1106, IT ENDS AT THE JUNCTION OF, WHERE 290 IS HEADED NORTH AND MAKES A 90-DEGREE TURN BACK TO THE EAST.
AND THIS PARTICULAR DESCRIPTION HERE SAYS THAT THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED SOUTH OF COUNTY ROAD 1101, AND THAT'S NOT CORRECT. IT IS SOUTH OF COUNTY ROAD 290.
IT'S NOT AT THAT 1106, IT'S SOUTH OF 290. SO, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WILL CAUSE A PROBLEM TO CREATE PERHAPS A LEGAL CHALLENGE. YOUR LEGAL COUNSEL SHOULD BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THAT.
JUST KIND OF A TECHNICALITY THERE, PERHAPS. THE SECOND ITEM IS THAT IF I COMPARE THE, I'M SORRY, LOCATOR MAP IN YOUR AGENDA WITH THE FINAL VERSION OF THE 2050 MASTER LAND USE PLAN UPDATE THAT WAS ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL LAST YEAR.
THAT PLAN, THE 2050 MASTER LAND USE PLAN, SHOWS THIS ENTIRE AREA TO BE SUBURBAN LIVING, WHICH IS 6000 SQUARE FOOT UP TO ONE HALF ACRE LOTS. AND PART OF THIS AGENDA, PART OF THIS PLAN THAT'S PRESENTED IS IN COMPLIANCE. THE 45 SINGLE FAMILY, SF-6.0 LOTS, AND THE 34 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, SF-7.2. IF I UNDERSTAND, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, THOSE ARE 6720, SO THOSE WOULD BE IN COMPLIANCE.
BUT THE 36 MIXED DENSITY RESIDENTIAL LOTS ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE APPROVED LAND USE PLAN.
AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION LOTS.
[00:05:02]
I CAN'T FIND ANY DEFINITION ANYWHERE THAT TELLS ME HOW BIG THOSE LOTS ARE.SO THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO HAVE ANSWERED.
RECENT CHANGES BY THE LEGISLATURE, IF I, MY INFORMATION IS CORRECT, REQUIRE THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ADHERE TO THEIR OWN MASTER LAND USE PLAN, SO I WOULD HOPE THAT ONE OF YOU MIGHT HAVE THE WHEREWITHAL TO PULL THIS ITEM FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND EITHER TABLE IT, OR SEND IT BACK TO BE BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE BEFORE YOU GO AHEAD.
I APPRECIATE THE TIME THIS EVENING. AND YOU'RE LISTENING TO MY COMMENTS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER CARD IS MISS BETTY SHARP.
BETTY SHARP, 10282 COUNTY ROAD 288, ANNA, TEXAS.
I CAME HERE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT POWER TONIGHT.
YOUR POWER SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE YOU HAVE MORE POWER THAN YOU MAY REALIZE.
AS YOU KNOW, IN THE NOVEMBER 25TH ELECTION, PROPOSITION R WAS PASSED.
NOW THE CITY COUNCIL CAN'T TAKE A FINAL VOTE ON SOME MATTERS UNLESS YOU SEND THEM A RESOLUTION.
92% OF THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED VOTED TO PASS THAT.
I'VE HEARD THIS CONSTANT REFRAIN THAT THE CITY COUNCIL CITIES HAVE LOST THE ABILITY TO KEEP A HOLD ON GOOD DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE THE STATES PASS CERTAIN LAWS.
THAT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT HAS A KERNEL OF TRUTH, BUT NOT A LOT OF TRUTH.
BASICALLY, THAT DEALS WITH MULTIFAMILY SITUATIONS AND HOW THE STATE CAN OVERRIDE.
BUT BACK TO YOUR POWER UNDER 902, ARTICLE C, WHICH I READ FOR YOUR DUTIES TODAY.
YOU NOT ONLY HAVE THE POWER FROM PROPOSITION R THAT PASSED, YOU ARE THE ADVISORY PEOPLE FOR BOTH TREE REGULATIONS AND IMPACT FEES. HERE'S WHAT SOME OF YOUR NEIGHBORING CITIES HAVE DONE TO GET A HOLD AGAINST BAD DEVELOPMENT, RUINING SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE THE HORROR JCP DID OVER ANNA TOWN SQUARE. IF YOU HAVEN'T LOOKED AT THOSE HOMES, GO LOOK AT THEM.
IRVING CITY COUNCIL HAD A DEVELOPER WHO WANTED TO PUT UP AN APARTMENT POORLY DEVELOPED, CHEAPLY BUILT, AND THEY SAID, FINE, YOU CAN PUT IT THERE. BUT INSTEAD OF FOUR STORIES, WE ONE EIGHT.
WE WANT A DOG PARK. WE WANT ELECTRIC CHARGING STATIONS FOR VEHICLES.
WE WANT A REMOTE WORKSPACE, WE WANT A SWIMMING POOL, AND WE WANT A YOGA ROOM.
AS FAR AS I KNOW, THAT DEVELOPER PULLED OUT AND THAT SINGLE FAMILY AREA WASN'T RUINED.
SO YOU SEE, YOU HAVE POWER TO RECOMMEND THINGS AGAINST THIS IDEA THAT THE STATE IS GOING TO LET DEVELOPERS DO ANYTHING THEY WANT. I ASK YOU TO KEEP THIS IN MIND.
HOME EQUITY. HOME EQUITY IS THE BASIS OF FINANCIAL STABILITY FOR MIDDLE FAMILIES FOR OUR LOCAL, NATIONAL AND STATE ECONOMY. ANYTHING YOU DO THAT DEVALUES HOME EQUITY LIKE THOSE JCP APARTMENTS IS BAD FOR ANNA. SOME OF OUR DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN WONDERFUL.
LET'S KEEP IT UP. SO PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE POWER.
DON'T ACQUIESCE YOUR POWER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU, MISS SHARP. OKAY, NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM NUMBER 4, ANNUAL
[4. Annual Elections.]
[00:10:09]
ELECTIONS. AT THIS TIME, WE'RE GOING TO CAST OUR VOTES FOR A CHAIRPERSON, VICE CHAIRPERSON AND SECRETARY.WE'LL START WITH ITEM A ON THE AGENDA. ELECT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION CHAIRPERSON.
DO I HAVE A NOMINATION? I GUESS WE'RE GOING TO MAKE ME VOTE MYSELF.
I'LL NOMINATE YOU. I'LL SECOND THAT. ALL RIGHT.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. OH, BY THE WAY, WE'RE GOING TO ELECTRONICALLY VOTE ON ALL OF THEM. PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO LEAD WITH THAT. ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT. LOOKS LIKE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
MOVING ON TO ITEM B, ELECT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION VICE CHAIR.
I'LL GO AHEAD AND SPEAK UP AND NOMINATE COMMISSIONER VOLLMER.
I'LL SECOND. OKAY. I HAVE A FIRST BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
A SECOND. FOR ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.
THIS ONE, IF NO COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS, I'D LIKE TO KEEP THAT WITH CITY STAFF.
SO I'LL MAKE A MOTION FOR IT TO BE A CITY STAFF MEMBER.
SECOND. OKAY, I HAVE A MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
SECOND, FROM COMMISSIONER MARTIN. COMMISSIONERS, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.
I'M GOING TO TURN THIS OVER TO DIRECTOR KALEB KENTNER.
YEAH, JUST, I GAVE WE DISCUSSED THIS A LITTLE WHILE AGO AS FAR AS THE POSSIBILITY OF MOVING THE DATES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND KIND OF JUST TO REVIEW OVER THAT.
WE WANTED TO ONE OF THE REASONS FOR MOVING IT OFF OF THE FIRST MONDAYS WAS THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT WITH OTHER MEETINGS THAT HAVE BEEN SHIFTED INSIDE THE CITY TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH TIME AND SPACING IN BETWEEN THERE.
AS A START TIME, OR MOVING TO THE SECOND THURSDAYS AT 6 P.M.
YOU GUYS ARE ON VOLUNTEERS ON THIS, SO WE WANT YOUR INPUT ON WHAT YOUR PREFERENCE IS AS FAR AS THE, THE MEETING DATES AND TIMES. DO WE KNOW, ARE WE ALLOWED TO KNOW WHAT MEETINGS WE'RE SHIFTING HOURS FOR? YEAH, IT'S JUST INSIDE THE CITY. THE WHETHER IT'S COURTS OR OTHER MEETINGS DURING THE DAY THAT THAT USE THIS SAME SPACE AND ENSURING THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO HAVE SET UP RIGHT NOW, WE DON'T THINK IT'S REALLY A WE HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM YET.
BUT THINGS HAPPEN. MEETINGS OVERRUN SOMETIMES.
SO. ALL RIGHT, COMMISSIONERS, THOUGHTS, CONCERNS, PROS AND CONS.
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH EITHER. I WOULD PERSONALLY LIKE TO KEEP IT ON MONDAYS.
MONDAYS? YEAH. ME TOO, MONDAYS. SO, WE GOT TWO FOR MONDAYS.
ONE THAT HAS NO OBJECTION. VOLLMER, WHAT'S YOURS? I'M GOOD EITHER WAY. DO WE NEED A VOTE ON IT? WOULD WE NEED TO WAIT FOR THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS TO GET HERE? I MEAN, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT.
YEAH, THE IDEAL THING WOULD BE MAKE SURE EVERYONE'S ON BOARD WITH IT.
[00:15:06]
THE DEVELOPERS THAT ARE COMING IN WITH PROJECTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY DO THAT.THIS WOULDN'T START AND UNTIL OUR FEBRUARY MEETING.
BUT WE'RE PERFECTLY FINE IF WE WANT TO KEEP IT FIRST MONDAYS AND JUST WE'LL MOVE IT BACK ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR JUST TO ACCOMMODATE, IF THAT'S WHAT THE MAJORITY IS. I MEAN, IF WE HAVE TO GIVE AN ANSWER TODAY, I WOULD LEAN MORE TOWARDS MOVING IT HALF AN HOUR ON MONDAYS BECAUSE WE HAVE TWO COMMISSIONERS OUT. AND I HATE TO MAKE A DECISION THAT MOVES IT TO A THURSDAY WITH THOSE TWO NOT PRESENT, TO HAVE A VOICE. OKAY.
AND WE CAN PROCEED WITH THAT. I MEAN, IT'S EITHER THAT OR WE TABLE IT AND WE WAIT FOR COMMISSIONER.
AND WE COULD CHANGE THAT, YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES LATER TOO.
IF YOU WANT TO, JUST GO AHEAD AND KEEP IT FOR THIS NEXT MEETING AS IS.
AND THEN WE DECIDE AT THAT MEETING WE CAN DO THAT AS WELL.
I MEAN, I'M FINE WITH MOVING IT BY 30 MINUTES.
I THINK THAT'S ACTUALLY BETTER FOR ALL OF US.
OKAY. JOBS AND THE TRAFFIC COMMUTE. YEAH. AND IT'S A GOOD COMPROMISE, SO I DON'T.
UNLESS YOU GUYS HAVE OBJECTIONS. I'M FINE WITH MOVING IT BACK 30 MINUTES.
OKAY. SOUNDS GOOD, SOUNDS GOOD. THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 5, DIRECTOR'S REPORT,
[5. Director's Report.]
BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. JUST WE ARE FINALIZING THE FINAL YEAR END, AND SO WE DON'T HAVE THE CHARTS BEFORE YOU, BUT IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY PROJECTS, I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ON THOSE.YOUR NEXT MEETING, WE WILL HAVE KIND OF THE YEAR END REPORT FOR THE YEAR AND WHERE WE WERE AND, AND KIND OF SOME MORE DETAILS ON THAT. SO I JUST HAVE A QUESTION, JUST BECAUSE I HAVEN'T BEEN KEEPING UP WITH IT.
WHERE'S THE STATUS ON THE DOWNTOWN PROJECTS THAT ARE COMING RIGHT ACROSS THE WAY? THOSE PROJECTS ARE, THE DISCUSSIONS ARE STILL BEING HAD ON THAT AS FAR AS APPLICATIONS, DATES.
THOSE WILL BE FORTHCOMING, BUT DISCUSSIONS ARE STILL MOVING FORWARD.
ANY COMMISSIONERS HAVE QUESTIONS ON ANY OTHER DEVELOPMENTS, ANYTHING THAT WE'VE APPROVED RECENTLY THAT YOU WANT TO STATUS UPDATE ON? NO. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 7 FOR THE CONSENT ITEMS.
[7. Consent Items.]
AT THIS TIME, DOES ANY COMMISSIONER WISH TO PULL AN ITEM FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA? I'D LIKE TO PULL ITEM B AND ITEM F.OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION TO PULL. WELL, NOT REALLY A MOTION.
I GUESS YOU CAN START OFF WITH YOUR COMMENTS IF YOU WANT TO START WITH ITEM B, LIBERTY HILLS, PHASE 5, PRELIMINARY PLAT. I'M GOING TO HOLD OFF ON VOTING JUST IN CASE WE MIGHT CAN VOTE AND APPROVE THEM ALL DEPENDING ON THE CONVERSATIONS. OKAY, SO WE HAD SOME QUESTIONS BROUGHT UP ABOUT ITEM B, AND MY MEMORY IS NOT PERFECT, BUT WE ADDRESSED, I BELIEVE IN PAST MEETINGS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING THERE AND WHAT'S IN THE 2050 PLAN.
IS MY MEMORY WRONG ON THAT? CAN ANYBODY HELP ME WITH THAT? THAT WAS MY KNOWLEDGE AS WELL, IS THAT IT HAD ALREADY COME IN FRONT OF US, AND WE HAD ALREADY VOTED PRIOR ON MAKING THE CHANGES.
YOU'RE CORRECT. THE ZONING CASE OCCURRED PRIOR TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE WAS IN MARCH OF 2025.
THE ZONING WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2024 AND THE APPLICANT HAS COMPLETED AN UPDATED CONCEPT PLAN.
CORRECT. I WAS MENTIONED THAT THIS IS SOUTH OF COUNTY ROAD 290, IS THAT GOING TO BE AN ISSUE THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS OR PUT IT IN AS A STIPULATION? IT IS CONFUSING THE WAY THAT A LOT OF THE COUNTY ROADS WERE NUMBERED.
1101 IS THIS STREET RIGHT HERE THAT GOES RIGHT INTO 290.
I'LL DEFER TO THE DIRECTOR AND CITY ATTORNEY, DEPUTY CITY ATTORNEY THERE.
THERE REALLY SHOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE WITH THAT, OR IF SO, IT'S CORRECTED AT THIS TIME WITH US SPECIFYING ITS EXACT LOCATION WHERE IT'S LOCATED. AND I BELIEVE THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION IS OR WILL BE PROVIDED ON THE PLAT ITSELF.
[00:20:03]
OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD ALREADY WE ALREADY KNEW THAT IT DIDN'T MEET THE CURRENT 2050 PLAN TO ADDRESS THE THE QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP.THANK YOU. OKAY. LET'S MOVE ON TO ITEM SEVEN F, THE VILLAGES OF HURRICANE CREEK NORTH, PHASE 2, FINAL PLAT. SO, WE RECENTLY APPROVED A, OR THE CITY COUNCIL DID MAYBE, A CHANGE FOR THE DEVELOPER TO ALLOW THEM NOT TO DO, AND I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS.
I APOLOGIZE NOT TO DO SOME TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT THAT THEY HAD PLANNED THERE, WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT THEY WOULD COMPLETE THE CONNECTION TO ROSAMOND. I DON'T SEE THAT ON THIS DRAWING.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE IT LOOKS LIKE THEY JUST STOPPED.
THEY DON'T MAKE THAT COMPLETION. THAT'S WHICH I THINK THEY AGREED TO DO.
SO I'M GONNA GO BACK TO THE LOCATOR MAP. IT'S A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO SEE THE AREA IN GENERAL.
THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE DEVELOPER AGREED TO AMEND THEIR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT STATED THEY WOULD COMPLETE STANDRIDGE BOULEVARD, TWO LANES OF STANDRIDGE BOULEVARD FROM WHERE IT ENDS RIGHT NOW AT STOCKPORT, TO GO ALL THE WAY NORTH TO INTERSECT WITH ROSAMOND.
THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION NEEDS IT TO BE OPEN IN ORDER FOR THEM TO START GOING VERTICAL.
YEAH, THAT IS A I WOULD ASSUME THAT THOSE ARE ALL PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ACTIONS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY THE COUNCIL. I'M NOT I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT HOW THAT'S THE AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THEN PERTAIN SPECIFICALLY TO ROSAMOND PARKWAY.
SO, I WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO PULL F, OR I WOULD PULL F UNTIL WE GET THAT STRAIGHTENED OUT.
I THINK, I GUESS IF THEY, WE JUST NEED SOME CLARIFICATION ON WHAT EXACTLY IS IT THAT WE'RE LOOKING THAT THAT STAFF OR THE DEVELOPER MISSED ON THIS? BECAUSE WE DO WE ARE BOUND BY A, YOUR ACTIONS WOULD BE EITHER TO DENY THIS PLAT, ACTION WOULD BE TO DENY THE PLAT WITH SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS, MEANING THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO SHOW THE RIGHT OF WAY TO ROSAMOND CONNECTION. AND THAT CAN BE DENIED AND SHOWN THAT.
AND THEN THE DEVELOPER BASED ON THE STATE REQUIREMENTS ON THAT, THE DEVELOPER COULD THEN RESUBMIT SHOWING THAT CONNECTION, AND HE WOULD THEN BE ABLE TO PROCEED WITH THAT.
ALTERNATIVELY, IT COULD BE, ANOTHER ACTION YOU COULD TAKE, AFTER PULLING IT FROM CONSENT AGENDA, IS TO APPROVE WITH CONDITIONS. YES. WHERE YOU COULD SAY, WE'RE OKAY WITH THIS SO LONG AS THESE HOOPS ARE JUMPED THROUGH AND YOU.
BUT YOU HAVE TO STATE THOSE CONDITIONS WITH SPECIFICITY AND BE ABLE TO SAY THE CONDITIONS ARE THAT THE, THAT ALL THE DOCUMENTS BE UPDATED TO REFLECT THE REQUIRED EXTENSION OF ROSEMONT PARKWAY.
AND THEY MAKE THE COMMITMENTS THEY MADE TO THE CITY, RIGHT? YEAH.
AND I WOULD RECOMMEND IT WITH THAT. APPROVAL WITH THOSE CONDITIONS MAKES IT A LITTLE SIMPLER.
IF WE WERE TO DENY THAT, WOULD IT GIVE THEM A TIME FRAME, OR WOULD THAT BE CONSIDERED A BIG ENOUGH CHANGE THAT THEY COULD BRING IT BACK RIGHT AWAY WITHOUT A WAITING PERIOD? NO. THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO JUST RESUBMIT WITH THAT CORRECTION SHOWN ON IT, AND THEY WOULD NOT SKIP A BEAT AND CONTINUE WITH THEIR PROCESS.
OKAY, COMMISSIONERS DO I HAVE A MOTION FOR ITEM 7.A THROUGH G? I'LL MAKE A MOTION FOR ITEMS 7.A THROUGH E, AND THEN G AS WELL.
[00:25:07]
SECOND. OKAY, I HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL FOR ITEM 7.A THROUGH E IN ITEM G AND I HAVE A SECOND BY. SO, DO WE NEED TO MAKE A MOTION ON F OR TREAT IT SEPARATELY, IS THAT OKAY? TREATED SEPARATELY. OKAY. AND I HAVE A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER LONGMIRE.ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.
MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. OKAY, LET ME KNOW IF I GET THIS RIGHT.
I MAKE A MOTION WE APPROVE ITEM F WITH STIPULATIONS THAT THE DEVELOPER MEET THE AGREEMENTS THAT THEY MADE WITH THE CITY TO COMPLETE THE CONNECTION OF ROSAMOND. IS IT ANY SIGNIFICANCE FOR THEM TO REDRAW THE PROPERTY LINE, TO BE ABLE TO PICK UP ROSAMOND TO ACCOMMODATE THAT, OR IS HIS STATEMENT GOOD ENOUGH TO PICK THAT UP AS WELL? THAT STATEMENT WILL COVER IT FOR THEM TO MAKE THE CORRECTION ON THE PLAT.
PERFECT. CAN I ASK A QUESTION BEFORE THEY'RE SECONDED? DO THEY OWN THAT LAND TO BE ABLE TO DRAW THAT SO THEY OWN IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
THEY JUST DIDN'T DRAW THAT. I'LL SECOND THE MOTION.
AT THIS TIME, COMMISSIONERS, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.
[9. Training.]
ALL RIGHT LIKE OUR PREVIOUS TRAININGS, WE'RE JUST GOING TO GO THROUGH THESE ITEMS. AT YOUR SPEED, WE CAN DISCUSS THEM AS WE GO. SOME OF THE THINGS WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS WE'RE JUMPING INTO MORE DETAILS, PARTICULARLY ON PLANNING ON SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS.CHAPTER 212 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE IS THE SECTION THAT REGULATES PLANNING FOR MUNICIPALITIES, FOR CITIES. THE PURPOSE OF THAT AS SHOWN, IS REALLY THAT OF PROMOTING THE HEALTH, SAFETY, MORALS AND GENERAL WELFARE OF THE MUNICIPALITY.
PLATS ARE SPECIFICALLY JUST REALLY GIVING THAT ULTIMATELY, IN THEIR MOST BASIC CONCEPT IS THAT IT'S THE ABILITY FOR PEOPLE TO TRANSFER LAND AND TAKE CARE OF DIVIDING THAT SO IT DOESN'T GET COMPLICATED AND LOST WITH METES AND BOUNDS DESCRIPTIONS OF PROPERTIES. THAT JUGGLE THAT YOU DEAL WITH AND, AND THAT STAFF DEALS WITH ON THAT IS FIRST MAKING SURE WE MEET THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THAT PART OF THAT IS WE WANT ALL DEVELOPMENTS COME IN AND MEET THAT.
THE PLANNING IS REALLY, COMES DOWN TO A MINISTERIAL ACTION THAT IF IT MEETS THESE CRITERIA THAT YOU HAVE ADOPTED, THEN YOUR CHOICE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT ARE VERY LIMITED ON PLATS.
YOUR AUTHORITY, YOUR STRONGEST AUTHORITY COMES IN THE POLICE POWER WITH GIVING THE ZONING AWAY ON THAT, BECAUSE THAT ALLOWS FOR THE PROPERTY TO BE PLATTED INTO WHATEVER THAT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS FOR.
SO DIVIDING PROPERTIES, ANY LAND INTO TWO LOTS OR MORE.
AND WE HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT WE'LL GO THROUGH SOME OF THOSE.
I'LL HAVE LAUREN HOP UP HERE AND HELP ME OUT WITH THAT AS WE GO THROUGH OUR PROCESSES.
FOR EACH OF THOSE, WE'RE BOUND BY, OF COURSE THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, THE SHOT CLOCK TIME FRAME. THESE ARE MINISTERIAL LIKE WE JUST DISCUSSED.
A PERFECT EXAMPLE IS THAT OF, IT'S EITHER APPROVED AS IS, IT'S APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS, OR YOU
[00:30:10]
DISAPPROVE IT AND YOU GIVE THE SPECIFIC REASONS, WHICH IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS APPROVING IT.BUT AS COUNCIL DIRECTED US ON THAT, IT'S MUCH EASIER AND SIMPLER JUST TO DO THROUGH THE APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS ON THAT PROCESS, SO. WE HAVE THE ETJ, EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION RULES THAT WE GO THROUGH AS WELL.
AND THERE'S THE PROPORTIONALITY RULES THAT COME INTO PLAY WHEN DEVELOPMENTS DO COME IN, WHEN IT COMES TO HOW MUCH ROADS THEY BUILD, HOW MUCH RIGHT OF WAYS THEY'RE REQUIRED TO GIVE, ALL OF THOSE THINGS GET FACTORED IN THERE, AS WE DISCUSSED THOSE. KIND OF AS WE JUMP INTO OUR MOST COMMON PROCESSES OF, WE'VE GOT THE, AND I'M GOING TO HAVE LAUREN COME UP HERE AND KIND OF GO THROUGH EACH ONE OF THESE REALLY QUICKLY WITH YOU GUYS ON THAT.
AND IF YOU GUYS HAVE QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO STOP US AT ANY TIME AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THOSE.
TYPICALLY, THAT IS FOR A PROPERTY THAT'S NEVER BEEN PLATTED BEFORE.
AND THE WAY THAT OUR ORDINANCES ARE WRITTEN, IT'S IT PRETTY MUCH ONLY APPLIES IN THE ETJ FOR PROPERTIES THAT ARE WANTING TO BUILD SOMETHING FOR THE FIRST TIME ON A TRACK OF LAND.
CONVEYANCE PLATS ARE USED FOR SUBDIVIDING PROPERTIES AND SELLING THEM.
THEY'RE NOT DEVELOPABLE. SO IF A DEVELOPER COMES IN AND WANTS TO SELL OFF THE PROPERTY TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE, THEY WOULD DO A CONVEYANCE PLAT. A MINOR PLAT IS WHEN IT'S 1 TO 4 LOTS OF SUBDIVIDING PROPERTY.
AND THERE IS ONE SPECIAL RULE WITH REPLATTING IF IT IS A PROPERTY THAT HAD BEEN ZONED SINGLE FAMILY FOR THE FIVE PREVIOUS YEARS, OR USED A SINGLE FAMILY FOR THE FIVE PREVIOUS YEARS THEN IT REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING, IF THEY'RE REQUESTING ANY VARIANCES. WE ALSO HAVE AN AMENDING PLAT THAT DOESN'T GET USED VERY OFTEN.
CAN YOU GIVE EXAMPLES OF REPLAT? LIKE CHANGES TO THE FIRE LANE LIKE WHAT DRIVES A REPLAT? SO WHAT DRIVES A REPLAT IS TYPICALLY THE DEVELOPMENT.
WE'VE SEEN REPLAT IN URBAN CROSSING, THERE WAS A ISSUE WHERE A DRIVEWAY ENCROACHED INTO SOMEONE ELSE'S PROPERTY, AND THE TWO PROPERTY OWNERS, THEY AGREED TO MOVE THE LOT LINE RATHER THAN TEARING UP THE DRIVEWAY.
WITH A LOT OF OUR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS, YOU'VE SEEN REPORTS OVER THE YEARS.
WE DIDN'T ADOPT CONVEYANCE PLATS UNTIL 2023. SO A LOT OF THE PROPERTIES WERE BEING FINAL PLATTED AND THEN REPLATTED OVER AND OVER AGAIN WITH THE WALMART AREA AS WELL AS ANNA RETAIL SOUTH OF WALMART.
SO YOU'VE SEEN A LOT OF REPORTS ON THOSE PROPERTIES.
THAT'S GOING DOWN. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, LAUREN.
SO THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT PLOTS THAT WE DO.
NOW, STATE LAW DOES CHANGE EVERY TWO YEARS, AND THEY HAVE HAD, THE STATE HAS BEEN WHITTLING AWAY AT THE, THE POWERS OF AND MUNICIPALITIES HAVE FOR THEIR ABILITIES TO WHAT THEY REGULATE, OF COURSE, BASED ON SOME OF THEM BASED ON LAND USES, SOME OF THEM BASED STRICTLY ON THE LAND DIVISIONS ON THAT, AND SO. BUT EACH ONE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON WHAT TYPE OF PLAT THEY'RE REQUESTING OR THAT THEY'RE GOING THROUGH.
SO WE CAN'T LUMP EVERYTHING INTO ONE ON THOSE THINGS AS FAR AS WHAT HAS BEEN MORE RESTRICTED, WHAT HAS LESS RESTRICTIONS BECAUSE IT'S NOT ALL THE SAME, AND SO.
SO THAT IS ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND AS, AS YOU GO THROUGH THAT.
THE OTHER PART IS, THE NEXT PART OF THAT IS WHO APPROVES PLATS SUBDIVISIONS, AND WHAT ALTERNATIVES DO WE HAVE? WELL, THIS IS SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THE, THE STATE DID MAKE SOME CHANGES ON THAT HAS GIVEN A LOT MORE FLEXIBILITY.
[00:35:02]
BEFORE YOU ARE ON THEIR CONSENT AGENDA. AND BECAUSE THEY'RE MINISTERIAL, THEY'RE, THEY MEET THE REQUIREMENTS, STAFF REVIEW THOSE. WHETHER YOU HAVE A PROFESSIONAL STAFF OR NOT, YOU WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE AS A PLANNING COMMISSIONER TO MAKE SURE THOSE CHECK BOXES WOULD BE MET ON THOSE REQUIREMENTS. IF THOSE CHECK MARKS ARE THERE, THEN IT'S AUTOMATIC APPROVAL WITHOUT ANY CONDITIONS NEEDED.IF THEY'RE MISSING A FEW THINGS, YOU ADD THOSE CONDITIONS AND IT'S APPROVED WITH THOSE CONDITIONS.
THERE'S DIFFERENT PROCESSES FOR THAT. THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS THE AUTHORITY THROUGH THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE TO DO, BE THE ONLY AUTHORITY ON PLATS. AND CITY COUNCIL, IF THERE IS NO PLANNING COMMISSION, CAN BE THE APPROVERS OF PLATS, OR IF IT'S SET BY ORDINANCE, LOCAL ORDINANCE, BOTH WOULD BE REQUIRED FOR APPROVING A PLAT. AND EVERY JURISDICTION DOES IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY.
BUT THE ONE THING THAT HAS JUST RECENTLY BEEN ADDED IN 2023 WITH THE ART, WITH THE AMENDMENTS TO THE REGULATIONS OR STATE LAW, IS THAT THOSE NOW MAY BE DELEGATED TO EMPLOYEES OR OFFICERS OR OF THE UTILITY OWNED AND OPERATED BY THE CITY AUTHORITY CAN APPROVE PLATS. AND RATHER THAN GOING ON CONSENT AGENDAS AND STAFF IS ABLE TO BE.
ONE REASON THE STATE GAVE THAT ALTERNATIVE IS TO SHORTEN THE 30-DAY TIME FRAME, TO MAKE IT A LITTLE QUICKER FOR DEVELOPERS TO DO THAT, BECAUSE IT IS A MINISTERIAL APPROVAL PROCESS.
ONCE THE ZONING IS GIVEN AWAY ON THOSE, IF THEY MEET THE PLAT REQUIREMENTS, IT'S A FOREGONE CONCLUSION THAT THEY WOULD THE PLAT, IF IT MEETS THOSE REQUIREMENTS, IT WOULD BE APPROVED.
AND SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THOSE ARE OUR ALTERNATIVES.
THAT ALSO HELPS ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE TIME OF THE VOLUNTEERS, PARTICULARLY THE CHAIRMAN, HAVING TO COME IN AND SIGN THOSE LATER ON AT THE VERY END OF THE PROCESS, WHICH IS TYPICALLY COULD BE ANYWHERE BETWEEN A YEAR OR TWO AFTER THE FACT TO GET THOSE SIGNED, UNLESS THEY HAVE A SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT THAT WOULD ALLOW THEM TO BE SIGNED SOONER.
CITY COUNCIL MAKES THAT DELEGATION? THE, IT'S BY ORDINANCE, SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE.
AND SOME OF THEM, IF THEY DO GO TO THE COUNCIL FOR SO BUT EVERY JURISDICTION GETS TO CHOOSE FOR THEMSELVES WHICH WAY THEY CHOOSE TO DO THAT. BUT THESE ARE THE FOUR ALTERNATIVES THAT THE STATE ALLOWS US TO DO ON THAT.
AND SO THAT IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. WHY WOULD SOME OF THEM GO TO THE PLANNING AND SOME OF THEM GO TO CITY COUNCIL? HOW DOES THAT GET DETERMINED? I'LL LET LAUREN TO IT.
I'LL CLARIFY. SO LET ME GO BACK. I'M SORRY. SO, ON OUR LIST OF PLATS CERTAIN PLATS, LIKE A DEVELOPMENT PLAT, MINOR PLAT, AND REPLATS.
IF THEY'RE NOT DEDICATING RIGHT OF WAY, THAT IS ACTUALLY STAFF APPROVED.
A FINAL PLAT THAT MATCHES A PRELIMINARY PLAT IS ALSO STAFF APPROVED.
CONVEYANCE PLATS AND THEN MINOR PLATS, PRELIMINARY PLATS AND FINAL PLATS THAT DO DEDICATE RIGHT OF WAY REQUIRE, AND REPLATS REQUIRES THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
AND THEN IF A RE PLAT REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING IT WOULD BE A PUBLIC HEARING IN FRONT OF P&Z.
THE ONLY THING WITH CITY COUNCIL NOW, SINCE 2023 IS A WAIVER OF THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS.
SO TYPICALLY THE PLANNING COMMISSION MAKES A APPROVAL SUBJECT TO COUNCIL APPROVING THE WAIVER.
IS THAT CLEAR AS MUD? OKAY. THIS IS ONE THING REASON WHY IT'S GOOD TO REVIEW YOUR REGULATIONS.
I KNOW WE JUST LOOKED AT THE REGULATIONS, THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS.
BUT WITH THE RECENT CHANGES AND THE WAY THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY SET UP, THE IS, THERE CAN BE LESS CONFUSING WAYS THAT THIS CAN BE DONE. AND IF THAT'S SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE THAT YOU WANT TO ADD TO A FUTURE AGENDA ITEM IS TO BRING BACK THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS
[00:40:03]
SO WE CAN DISCUSS MAYBE THE ALTERNATIVES FOR THAT.I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD WAY TO DO THAT IS TO BRING THAT BACK AND DISCUSS IT BECAUSE YEAH, EVERY CITY DOES IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY. AND SOME THERE ARE NUANCES THAT THAT, THAT MAKE IT DIFFICULT NOT ONLY FOR STAFF TO, EXPLAIN TO DEVELOPERS AND TO RESIDENTS WHO OWN PROPERTIES THE PROCESS THAT THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH.
AND SO MY GOAL HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO MAKE THINGS SIMPLE.
THEY SHOULD BE SIMPLE FOR A HOMEOWNER TO EXPLAIN IT.
IT SHOULD BE IN COMMON ENOUGH TERMS AND THAT ANYONE CAN UNDERSTAND AND KNOW WHAT THE PROCESS IS.
AND SO THAT'S WHY I, AS WE TALK ABOUT ALTERNATIVES, THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES.
WE DON'T HAVE TO STAY WITH THE WAY THAT WE DO THINGS.
IS THERE GOOD BETTER BEST? ABSOLUTELY. AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD DISCUSSION TO HAVE IF YOU WANTED TO ADD THAT ON A FUTURE AGENDA ITEM THAT WE CAN DISCUSS AND MAYBE JUMP INTO EVEN MORE DETAILS AS FAR AS HOW THAT WOULD CHANGE ANYTHING, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, ROUGHLY 95% GOES TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION. AND THAT'S A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE WILL GO TO THE COUNCIL ON THAT, AND SO. AND OF THOSE MOST OF THOSE ARE ON CONSENT AGENDA FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION, AND THEY'RE ON CONSENT AGENDA FOR THE COUNCIL'S. SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT IT'S LIKE WELL THOSE ARE, IS THERE MORE EFFICIENT WAYS TO DO THAT, SO SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. THOSE ARE THE FOUR WAYS THAT THAT TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT ALLOWS ON THOSE.
BECAUSE PART OF THE 30-DAY TIME FRAME IS STAFF PREPARING IT AND TRYING TO BACK AND FORTH TO GET THE DEVELOPER TO MAKE CORRECTIONS AND THEN GET IT BACK ONTO YOUR AGENDA. FOR THE MEETING DATES THAT YOU HAVE SCHEDULED AND FITTING IT IN THAT 30-DAY WINDOW.
AND SO IT CAN STREAMLINE THE PROCESS, SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.
ONE OTHER THING THAT IS ALSO TYPICALLY ADMINISTRATIVE AND MOST OFTEN IS MINISTERIAL.
AND THAT SITE PLANS TO, AND SO IT'S NOT JUST A PRETTY PICTURE ON SOME OF THOSE THINGS.
AND AGAIN, I THINK LOOKING BACK AT WHAT WE DO, HOW WE DO IT IN ANNA RIGHT NOW, ALMOST ALL SITE PLANS THAT COME TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION ARE ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. AND, AND SO THERE'S REALLY, IF THEY'RE MEETING THOSE CHECK BOX ITEMS, THE QUESTION IS, IS CAN WE SPEED UP THAT TIME FOR DEVELOPERS AND PROPERTY OWNERS TO BE ABLE TO DO THEIR PROJECTS, BECAUSE THEY'RE ALREADY MEETING THOSE ITEMS, RATHER THAN WAITING 30 DAYS TO GET ON A MEETING AGENDA.
SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS TO THINK ABOUT.
BUT ULTIMATELY, WHAT IS A SITE PLAN? IT'S BASICALLY THAT DETAILED SITE PLAN.
WE WANT, LOOKING AT LANDSCAPING, WHICH THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE TWO SITE PLAN PROCESSES AND THAT THAT WE CURRENTLY GO THROUGH, WHICH IS BROKEN INTO TWO. I WOULD SAY THAT'S LESS TYPICAL IN THE PLANNING WORLD IS AS HAVING A TWO STEP SITE PLAN PROCESS. BUT I'VE SEEN SOME THAT GO THREE STEP PROCESSES AND I'VE SEEN SOME THAT, THAT DO IT AS A SINGLE STEP. SO THERE'S NO REAL RIGHT WAY.
IT'S THE RIGHT FIT FOR OUR COMMUNITY. WHAT WE FEEL IS BEST TO HELP OUR PROPERTY OWNERS, DEVELOPERS AND THE COMMUNITY MOVE FORWARD WITH PROJECTS, AND SO. AND CURRENTLY THOSE CAN BE EITHER APPROVED BY STAFF, THEY CAN APPROVED BY PLANNING COMMISSION, OR THEY CAN BE APPROVED BY BOTH WHERE IT HAS TO GO.
IT'S A TWO STEP PROCESS OR FINALIZED. IT'S APPROVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION, AND THEN STAFF THEN APPROVES IT SECONDARILY AFTER THEY RESUBMIT WITH THEIR APPROVAL, WITH CONDITIONS SIMILAR TO WHAT A PLAT WOULD BE, IT REALLY DEPENDS ON HOW YOU WANT TO HAVE THAT SET UP TO, TO WORK WITH THAT. BUT AGAIN, IT COMES DOWN TO OUR COMMUNITY.
DO YOU KNOW, DO WE, IT'S THE IMAGE WE PROJECT WITH OUR REGULATIONS.
[00:45:05]
AND IF THIS IS SOMETHING YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT MORE, THIS WOULD ALSO BE SOMETHING THAT WE COULD PUT ON THE AGENDA TO KIND OF GO OVER THAT AND SEE, WELL, YEAH. IS THERE A BETTER WAY? WHY DO THEY NEED TO COME IF IF WE'RE JUST PUTTING IT ON OUR CONSENT AGENDA AND WE'RE MAKING THEM WAIT? COULDN'T THEY START SOONER ON THE PROJECT? IF THEY'RE ALREADY MEETING ALL THE REQUIREMENTS? SO THOSE ARE KIND OF THE QUESTIONS TO ASK OURSELVES ON THAT.IS IT JUST A BUREAUCRATIC LONG PROCESS OR IS THERE A PURPOSE BEHIND IT? AND SO KEEP THOSE THINGS IN MIND. WE GOT TO WEIGH ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
AND IT'S THERE'S NO RIGHT WAY OR WRONG WAY. IT'S ANNA'S WAY.
THAT'S WHAT WE WANT IT TO BE. AND SO ANY QUESTIONS? KIND OF RUN THROUGH, I WANT TO MAKE THESE TRAININGS SHORT AND TO THE POINT, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO SEE IF I SEE YOU GUYS NODDING OFF.
I KNOW THAT'S THE SIGNAL. CUT IT. MOVE IT 30 MINUTES BACK, YOU MIGHT SEE KNOTS, BUT THE ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL, LIKE CUTTING IT DOWN 30 DAYS. I MEAN, IS THAT SOMETHING STAFF WANTS US TO REALLY CONSIDER? LIKE, IS THAT SOMETHING YOU GUYS WOULD PREFER HAVING YOUR PLATE? BASED ON THE ABILITIES FOR BOTH OF THESE? I THINK IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE OFTENTIMES GET BEAT UP ON AS CITIES AND MUNICIPALITIES, BECAUSE IT TAKES SO LONG TO GET THROUGH PROCESSES.
I'D SAY THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD TALKING POINTS TO GO THAT DIRECTION, BECAUSE ESPECIALLY IF THE IF WE ALREADY GOT IT, THREE FOURTHS OF WHAT WE DO IS ALREADY SET UP THAT WAY.
IS IT MUCH HARDER TO TAKE 1 OR 2 MORE STEPS TO MAKE IT SHORTER.
AND WE'RE STILL ACCOMPLISHING EXACTLY THE SAME THING.
NOW, DOES THAT MEAN WHEN WE LOOK AT THOSE CHANGES, THAT IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU GUYS DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT? I DON'T THINK SO. I THINK IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT EVERY MONTH IF WE WERE TO GO SOMETHING WITH ADMINISTRATIVE YOU, IN OUR IN THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT, YOU WOULD HAVE ALL THE SITE PLANS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED, AND YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE ALL OF THOSE THAT ARE IN THERE.
AND SAME WITH PLATS, ALL OF THOSE WOULD BE LISTED IN THERE SO THAT YOU GUYS WOULD BE ABLE TO TRACK THOSE AND KEEP UP WITH THEM, ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THEM AND GO FROM THERE. BUT YEAH, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT YOU SHOULD TALK ABOUT AND DISCUSS. YEAH I AGREE. I MEAN, IT'S HAVING TO GO THROUGH US AND THEN THE EXACT SAME PROCESS IS HAVING TO GO THROUGH CITY COUNCIL.
SO IF IT'S JUST A CHECKING OF THE BOX TO SAY, YEAH, WE SAW THAT, WE LOOKED AT IT, WE PASSED IT ON A CONSENT AGENDA ITEM. WHY CAN'T IT JUST GO STRAIGHT TO CITY COUNCIL AND THEN NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS CAN ADDRESS IT DURING CITY COUNCIL OR ANY COMMENTS TO PULL AN AGENDA ITEM CAN BE PULLED DURING CITY COUNCIL THE SAME WAY THEY CAN HERE. CORRECT. YEAH. WELL IN IN SOME OF THOSE WOULDN'T EVEN GO TO CITY COUNCIL ON THAT BECAUSE IT'S PURELY ADMINISTRATIVE, THEY'VE ALREADY. THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPTS THE POLICY.
YOU MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON LAND USE POLICIES TO THE COUNCIL.
COULD, IF IT'S POSSIBLE, COULD YOU MAKE A PROS AND CONS OF LIKE THE WAY WE'RE DOING IT NOW? WOULD THERE BE ANY CONS IF WE DID CHANGE IT? ABSOLUTELY, AS A MATTER OF FACT, THAT'S WHY I WOULD LIKE TO PUT IT ON THE AGENDA SO WE COULD GO THROUGH THE PROS AND CONS, AND YOU GUYS CAN WEIGH THAT OUT VISIBLY AND CAN TALK ABOUT EACH ONE OF THOSE THINGS, BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE THINGS WE MAY LIST ON THERE AS STAFF, BUT YOU MAY NOT WAIT THAT VERY HEAVY.
OR YOU MAY SEE THINGS THAT WE WAIT PRETTY HEAVY THAT YOU'RE LIKE, OH, WE DIDN'T REALIZE THAT.
AND THAT MAY HELP DETERMINE WHAT DIRECTION YOU WANT TO GO ON THAT.
SO YEAH, I WOULD PREFER THAT ALSO TO IF IT AFFECTS STAFF TOO BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO MAKE Y'ALL'S LIFE ANY DIFFICULT EITHER, SO. YES. YOU DO THAT, IF THINKING THAT THROUGH AS A POSSIBILITY.
WE WOULD DEFINITELY, THOSE WOULD BE ALL THE THINGS THAT WE WOULD PREPARE FOR A STAFF REPORT FOR YOU, AND THAT WAY IT GIVES YOU TIME TO LOOK AT IT BEFORE THE MEETING, AND THEN WE CAN HAVE A GOOD DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT.
OKAY. WE WILL PROCEED WITH BOTH OF THOSE AT A FUTURE MEETING.
ALL RIGHT. THAT'S. CAN I GET. MY TRAIN. THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER TEN. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS. IS THERE ANY OTHER ISSUES THAT YOU GUYS OR TOPICS THAT YOU WANT TO HAVE BROUGHT UP? NO. ALL RIGHT. LET'S MOVE ON TO THE LAST ONE.
THE FINAL ONE, ADJOURN. DO I HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? MOTION TO ADJOURN. OKAY. I'LL SECOND. THAT MEETING IS ADJOURNED AT 6:54 P.M.
