>> GO AHEAD AND CALL TO ORDER THE MEETING AT 6:30,
[00:00:05]
AND GO AHEAD AND RISE FOR THE PLEAS OF ALLEGIANCE.PUBLIC APPEARANCE. SPEAKERS ARE ALLOWED THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION IS UNABLE TO RESPOND OR TO DISCUSS ANY ISSUES THAT ARE BROUGHT UP DURING THIS SECTION THAT ARE NOT ON THE AGENDA OTHER THAN TO MAKE STATEMENTS OF SPECIFIC FACTUAL INFORMATION IN RESPONSE TO A SPEAKER'S INQUIRY OR TO RECITE EXISTING POLICY IN RESPONSE TO ANY INQUIRY.
DO WE HAVE ANYBODY FOR PUBLIC APPEARANCE? NOBODY FOR PUBLIC APPEARANCE,
[A. CONSENT AGENDA]
WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA.ALL CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS LISTED ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ROUTINE BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND WILL BE ENACTED BY ONE MOTION.
THERE WILL BE NO SEPARATE DISCUSSION OF THESE ITEMS UNLESS A COMMISSIONER SO REQUESTS IN WHICH EVENT THE ITEM WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND CONSIDERED IN ITS NORMAL SEQUENCE ON THE AGENDA.
IF ANYBODY DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO REMOVE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
>> A MOTION, WE ACCEPT THE CONSENT AGENDA AS IS.
>> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, BUT A QUESTION.
HOW DO YOU WANT TO PROCEED WITH THAT CALL?
>> ONE OF THESE PLATS, I BELIEVE IT WAS D4, THE MORNING RIDGE PHASE 2 DEVELOPMENT.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE IS A PID FOR THIS THAT'S ATTACHED TO THIS, AND THAT THERE IS AN HOA THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED YET BY CITY COUNCIL.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I WENT OVER THIS AGENDA WITH COUNCILWOMAN, CHRISTINA TODD, WAS SOMETHING THAT WE NOTICED, IT SHOWS IN RED INK ON THE PLAT THAT KIMY HORNE HAD CAUGHT IT, SOMETHING WASN'T APPROVED.
BASICALLY, I WANTED SOME EXPLANATION BECAUSE WE SPOKE AGAIN ABOUT IT.
SHE SAYS THAT SHE HAD SPOKEN WITH THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT, AND THAT THERE WAS A DRAFT ON FILE AND THAT THE DRAFT IS GOING TO BASICALLY PUT IT IN A MANNER WHERE ACTUALLY THE HOA CAN BE APPROVED AT A LATER DATE, INSTEAD OF BEING APPROVED PRIOR BASED ON WHAT THE ORDINANCE REQUIRES.
AGAIN, IT'S NOTED IN RED INK ON THAT PLAT.
BASICALLY, I'M JUST WONDERING BECAUSE I FOUND THAT A LITTLE BIT CONFUSING.
I WAS HOPING THAT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT MIGHT BE ABLE TO JUST WALK ME THROUGH AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOW EXACTLY THAT PROCESS WORKS JUST FOR MY GENERAL UNDERSTANDING GOING FORWARD SO THAT IF THERE'S ANY OTHER ISSUES LIKE THIS, WE ARE ABLE TO SEE IT AND UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON AND WHY.
>> DO WE NEED TO MOVE THIS ITEM DOWN AND CONTINUE WITH THE CONSENT AGENDA BEFORE WE MOVE ON?
>> OH, WE CAN, BUT I ACTUALLY BELIEVE YOU'RE REFERRING TO THE WESTRIDGE PLAT.
YOU MENTIONED D4, THAT'S MORNING RIDGE.
THE WESTRIDGE PLAT IN OUR STAFF REPORT, IT'S RECOMMENDED FOR A CONDITIONAL APPROVAL PENDING THE SIGNED NOTARIZED DOCUMENTS.
THE DEVELOPER CAN'T SIGN OR NOTARIZE THESE DOCUMENTS UNTIL THE PID PAID AND TRS HAVE BEEN FINALIZED.
THE FINAL PLAT, IN THIS INSTANCE IS CONDITIONAL UPON THEM PROVIDING THOSE DOCUMENTS AFTER THOSE ARE APPROVED.
>> BUT WASN'T THE ISSUE SOMETHING, IT HAD TO DO WITH THE HOA APPROVAL, CORRECT?
>> YES, HAS TO DO WITH THE HA APPROVAL, BUT THAT'S A REQUIREMENT FOR THEM TO PROVIDE THOSE DOCUMENTS WITH THE FINAL PLAT, AND WE DO HAVE A DRAFT OF THESE DOCUMENTS THAT'LL BE SIGNED ONCE THE PID AND TRS ARE FINALIZED.
>> I GUESS THAT'S WHERE THE CONFUSION CAME FROM IS THAT WE HAD LOOKED UP THE ORDINANCE TOGETHER, AND IT SAID THAT THE HOA HAS TO BE APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL FIRST.
AGAIN, I'M JUST CATCHING UP HERE.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE HOA HAS NOT GONE BEFORE CITY COUNCIL.
AGAIN, COUNCILWOMAN TODD AGAIN, SPOKE WITH Y'ALL, AND APPARENTLY, THERE IS A DRAFT ON FILE AND THESE THINGS ARE GOING TO GET TAKEN CARE OF.
I'M JUST LOST. I'M HOPING YOU GUYS CAN EXPLAIN TO ME WHEN THERE IS A PLAT THAT NEEDS APPROVED BY P&Z,
[00:05:04]
AND WHEN THERE IS A HOA THAT STILL NEEDS TO BE APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL.WHEN THERE'S A PID THAT NEEDS TO BE APPROVED BY US TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF GOING TO CITY COUNCIL.
WHEN THERE'S ALL THREE OF THOSE TOGETHER, I'M JUST HOPING THAT YOU MIGHT CLARIFY EXACTLY THE ORDER OF OPERATIONS THAT'S SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.
>> THE FINAL PLOT HAS IN THE PAST, SIGNIFIED THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE HOA IF THEY PROVIDE THE DOCUMENTATION TO US, WHICH THE DEVELOPER HAS.
THEY'RE JUST WAITING ON SOME THINGS TO BE FINALIZED BEFORE THEY'RE ACTUALLY ABLE TO SIGN AND DATE THAT DOCUMENT.
>> YOU'RE SAYING WE'RE BASICALLY APPROVING THE HOA ALONGSIDE APPROVING THE PLAT AND THE PID, AND THAT ALLOWS THE PROCESS TO GO FORWARD TO CITY COUNCIL.
>> YES, THE PLAT IS A CONDITIONAL APPROVAL.
SO IF THEY NEVER PROVIDE THE SIGNED AND NOTARIZED DOCUMENTS, THEN THE PLATS APPROVAL WOULD EXPIRE AND BE NULL AND VOID.
>> AGAIN, I'M BRAND NEW TO THIS.
I'M JUST LEARNING ON THE FLY HERE, SO I APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE AND HELPING ME UNDERSTAND THIS, BUT IF AN HOA AND A PID NEED TO BE APPROVED, IF THEY'RE NOT APPROVED LATER, WHAT HAPPENS TO THIS FINAL PLAT APPROVAL HERE? ARE THEY CONDITIONAL UPON EACH OTHER?
>> YES, WE'RE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL BASED ON THE CONDITION THAT THEY PROVIDE US THIS DOCUMENTATION.
IF THEY DON'T PROVIDE US THIS DOCUMENTATION, THEY AREN'T MEETING THE CONDITIONS.
CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THE APPROVAL WOULD EXPIRE.
>> THE DOCUMENTATION THAT YOU'RE PENDING TO RECEIVE FROM THEM ON THE HOA AND THE PID, THOSE DOCUMENTS THEMSELVES DON'T NEED TO BE APPROVED, THEY JUST NEED TO BE SUBMITTED TO GAIN APPROVAL.
>> OKAY. THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING.
>> WHEN WE HAVE ALL THESE DOCUMENTS AS WELL, WE'RE QUITE LITERALLY JUST WAITING ON THE PID AND TRS TO BE APPROVED SO THEY CAN ACTUALLY SIGN IT AND DATE IT.
>> OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING.
>>THE ORDER OF OPERATIONS DOES NOT MATTER AS FAR AS WHEN THE HOA IS APPROVED.
>> AS LONG AS THEY PROVIDE US A DRAFT DOCUMENT, AND WE CAN SEE THAT THEY HAVE THE HOA DOCUMENTS, WE'LL TAKE IT TO PUBLIC MEETINGS AND RECOMMEND CONDITIONAL APPROVAL.
BUT THE WESTRIDGE 1A PLAT THAT WAS APPROVED AT THE LAST MEETING HAD THE SAME STIPULATIONS.
>> WE CAN VOTE ON THE OTHER TWO WITHOUT THE HOA BEING APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL FIRST., BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY I INTERPRETED IT.
WE CAN VOTE ON THESE, THE PID AND THE PLAT WITHOUT THE HOA HAVING BEEN PREVIOUSLY APPROVED.
>> IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, THE ONLY PLAT THAT WE'RE WAITING ON THE HOA FOR IS WESTRIDGE 1B.
WE HAVE THE DOCUMENTATION FROM MORNING RIDGE FOR THE HOA.
>> I'M SORRY, I HAD THE WRONG DEVELOPMENT, BUT I GUESS THERE WAS A GENERAL QUESTION OF THE ORDER OF OPERATIONS THERE BECAUSE THE WAY I READ THE CODE, WHENEVER WE WERE GOING THROUGH IT, IT SEEMED LIKE THAT CONFUSED ME.
BUT IF THAT'S THE WAY THAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN OR IF IT'S THE WAY THAT IT'S BEEN HAPPENING, THEN I'M WILLING TO ACCEPT THAT THAT IS OUR CURRENT ORDER OF OPERATIONS OR HAS BEEN FOR THE PAST.
IT'S JUST DIFFERENT THAN THE WAY I READ THE CODE.
>> IT JUST HAS TO DO WITH THE TIMING THAT WE CAN GET THIS DOCUMENTATION.
THE BALL IS IN OUR COURT, FOR SOME OF IT, AS WELL AS FAR AS REVIEWING THESE DOCUMENTS.
WE JUST ESSENTIALLY GOT TO GET THEM SIGNED ONCE EVERYTHING IS FULLY APPROVED, AND THE PLATS APPROVAL WOULD EXPIRE IF THEY NEVER PROVIDED US THIS DOCUMENTATION.
AGAIN, I'M SORRY, I GOT THE THE DEVELOPMENT WRONG, BUT WOULD YOU MIND PULLING UP THAT THE PLAT THAT WE'RE APPROVING FOR THAT DEVELOPMENT? IT SHOWS THAT IN RED, WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, WHAT KIMY HORNE, I BELIEVE, HAD WRITTEN ON THERE? I ASSUME IT'S WHAT KIMY HORNE HAD WRITTEN ON THERE.
>> WE HAVE THESE HOA DOCUMENTS AS WELL, IF YOU'D LIKE TO LOOK AT THOSE.
>> IT'S MORE SO JUST SO THAT THE PUBLIC AND EVERYBODY ON THE COMMISSION ALL IS ON THE SAME PAGE, IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
I ACCEPT YOUR EXPLANATION. THANK YOU.
[00:10:08]
THAT COMMENT IS WHAT'S TRIGGERING THE CONDITIONAL APPROVAL.THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE US WITH THE FILED DOCUMENTS.
>> THANK YOU. I ACCEPT YOUR EXPLANATION.
AGAIN, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S ON THE SAME PAGE WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT.
>> COLE, HELP ME OUT WITH THE PROCEDURAL HERE SINCE WE DISCUSSED A CONSENT AGENDA ITEM WITHOUT REMOVING IT ONTO THE AGENDA.
DO WE PROCEED WITH OUR MOTION AS IS FOR ALL THREE ITEMS?
>> YES, YOU CAN MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.
>> WE ALREADY HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
DO WE JUST MOVE FORWARD TO VOTE OR DO YOU WANT ME TO HAVE THE MOTION REMADE?
>> YOU CAN JUST MOVE FORWARD TO VOTING.
>> MOTION AND A SECOND ALL VOTING.
IS THE SYSTEM DOWN STILL? I APOLOGIZE. I DON'T HAVE A LIST OF PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME.
>> MISS GENTRY, SORRY, KILTON?
>> MOVING ON TO PUBLIC HEARINGS.
[E. PUBLIC HEARINGS]
WE HAVE ITEM ZA 2-25-3062 FOR THE ZONE MAP AMENDMENT FOR PRINCETON RETAIL CENTER.OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:42.
ACTUALLY, COLE, DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK FIRST? I APOLOGIZE. GO AHEAD.
>> GOOD EVENING, COMMISSION. COLE DAVENPORT, PLANNER.
THIS REQUEST IS TO REZONE A 0.55 ACRE TRACT OFF MONTE CARLO AND LONGNECK FROM SINGLE FAMILY ESTATE TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT 46.
THIS PLAN DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO HAVE A C2 BASED ZONING, BUT WITHIN THIS, THE FOLLOWING USES ARE GOING TO BE PROHIBITED.
IT INCLUDES AUTOMOBILE REPAIR, CAR WASH, TIRE DEALER, DRIVE-IN SERVICE FACILITY, CONVENIENCE STORE WITH GAS PUMPS.
AUTOMOBILE REPAIR, MAJOR DRIVE-IN RESTAURANTS, DRIVE-THROUGH RESTAURANTS, LAUNDRY MATS, VAPE AND SMOKE SHOPS, CHILDCARE CENTERS, MORTUARY AND FUNERAL PARLORS, SMALL ENGINE REPAIR SHOPS, AND TATTOO SHOPS.
THERE'S ALSO A SLIGHT PARKING REDUCTION WITHIN THIS THAT REDUCES IT TO 4.5 SPACES PER 1,000, WHICH IS JUST ONLY SLIGHTLY OFF FROM OUR ORDINANCE.
STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL IS SUBMITTED.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ALL HAVE IN THE APPLICANTS HERE AS WELL.
>> DO WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO PUT IN THAT AREA?
>> I'LL LET THE APPLICANT ADDRESS THAT.
WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING IN CONCRETE.
>> CAN YOU HEAR ME? THANK YOU, FOLKS FOR HAVING US HERE THIS EVENING, GREATLY. I APPRECIATE YOU.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. WE'RE LOOKING AT PUTTING IN A RETAIL SHOP.
IT'LL BE A VERY SMALL 1,500 SQUARE FOOT RETAIL STRIP CENTER.
>> I DON'T KNOW ABOUT A DENTIST, NO.
>> YOU DON'T HAVE ANY RENTAL CONTRACTS IN PLACE?
>> WE'RE LOOKING FROM THE RETAIL PERSPECTIVE RIGHT NOW.
COLE DAVENPORT ASSISTED US IN MAKING SURE THAT WE DID SET UP THE PD SO IT'S IN ALIGN WITH WHAT THE CITY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE POTENTIALLY FOR RETAIL.
>> I KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF FLOOD ZONE IN THAT AREA.
>> YES, SIR. IT'S ON THE BACK SIDE OF IT.
IF WE HAVE THE DIAGRAM, IF WE CAN PULL IT UP, THE BUILDING ITSELF IS TO THE EAST SIDE OF THAT.
THE FLOOD ZONE IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE TO THE WEST OF THE BUILDING, AND THEN WE HAVE A DRAIN I BELIEVE IN THE SOUTHWEST CORNER FOR RUNOFF TO GO OUT INTO THE CREEK BEHIND IT.
>> DETENTION OR RETENTION PONDS?
[00:15:01]
>> FOR TONIGHT'S CONSIDERATION IS JUST THE ZONING, JUST THE LAND USE, IS COMMERCIAL ZONING APPROPRIATE? IF APPROVED, AND THEN THE DEVELOPER HAVE TO COME FORWARD WITH A PRELIMINARY PLAN, WHICH WOULD HAVE PRELIMINARY GRADING AND DRAINAGE PLANS.
THEN FURTHER DRAINAGE STUDIES AND FULL CIVIL ENGINEERING PLANS WILL BE REQUIRED.
THOSE THINGS ARE GOOD TO CONSIDER AND THEY WILL BE CONSIDERED IN TIME, BUT FOR NOW, IS JUST CONSIDERING THE LAND USE.
IS COMMERCIAL APPROPRIATE FOR THIS PROPERTY?
>> YES, SIR. I APPRECIATE THAT.
MY PERSONAL OPINION IS THAT HOW THE COMMERCIAL IS USED, CONSIDERING THAT THE OWNER HERE SEEMS TO HAVE SOME IDEA OF THAT, INCLUDING HAVING GONE INTO LOOKING WHERE THE FLOOD ZONE IS, AND WHERE TO PUT THINGS TO HELP MITIGATE THAT.
I THINK IT DOES MAKE SENSE IN MY MIND TO GO AHEAD AND BRING IT UP BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL STILL BE SITTING ON THIS COMMISSION THE NEXT TIME IT COMES UP, WHICH MAY BE YEARS FROM NOW.
I APPRECIATE ANSWERING THOSE QUESTIONS.
DO WE KNOW THE LAST TIME THE FLOOD ZONE WAS UPDATED, IF IT WAS A FEMA FLOOD ZONE THAT'S ON THERE? MOST OF THEM ARE IN 2009.
TURN ON YOUR MIC. COULD YOU PLEASE TURN ON YOUR MIC?
>> SORRY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
TWENTY PERCENT, I BELIEVE OF THAT IS 100 YEAR FLOODPLAIN AND 40% OF IT IS 500 YEAR FLOODPLAIN.
THE BUILDING ITSELF AND THE STRUCTURE IS ACTUALLY OUT OF THAT FLOODPLAIN WHERE WE INITIALLY HAVE THE PLAT.
>> AND THERE WHAT SLOPING THE CONCRETE DOWN SO THAT.
>> WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE FEMA FLOOD PLAIN THEN.
>> YES. FROM THE FEMA MAP CHARTS THAT I HAVE ACCESS TO, YES.
THAT'S WHAT WE DID THE DESIGN FROM.
>> IN THAT AREA, MOST OF THEM WERE UPDATED IN 2009, 2011, AND SOME WERE UPDATED IN 2020.
DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE LAST TIME FEMA UPDATED THAT?
I'LL PROBABLY NEED SOME HELP RESEARCHING THAT TO GET THE MOST ACCURATE INFORMATION.
>> I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THE CONCERN, BUT BEFORE WE GET TOO FAR OFF INTO THE WEEDS, AS MR. FISHER EXPLAINED, WE CAN'T REALLY DIVE OFF TOO MUCH INTO THE FLOODPLAIN PORTION OF IT UNTIL IT GETS TO THE PLATTING.
I ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THIS IS BEING REZONED AWAY FROM SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES TO A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
IN THE SPEAK OF A FLOOD ZONE, I FEEL LIKE THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE A BETTER SOLUTION ANYWAY.
HOW MUCH SQUARE FOOTAGE DID YOU SAY THE BUILDING WAS AGAIN?
>> OKAY. COOL. CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHAT THE ACTUAL PARKING REQUIREMENTS WOULD BE FOR THAT? I KNOW YOU SAID IT'S JUST A SLIGHT REDUCTION.
>> YEAH, SO TYPICALLY, RETAIL IS PARKED AT 1-200, AND THIS IS REDUCING IT TO 1-222, SO PER 1,000 IT WOULD BE FIVE SPACES PER 1,000, AND IT'S BEING REDUCED TO 4.5:01,000.
>> OKAY, SO ABOUT HALF A PARKING SPACE PER 1,000?
>> OKAY. I GUESS MY ONLY CONCERN WOULD BE THAT AT 4.5 PER THOUSAND, YOU'RE ONLY LOOKING AT A MAXIMUM OF SEVEN SPACES, AND THAT'S A PRETTY BIG CONCERN ACROSS THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES IS NOT ENOUGH PARKING.
I DON'T KNOW PERSONALLY THAT I'M COMFORTABLE WITH REDUCING THE PARKING AMOUNT.
>> ALL ARE FREE TO MAKE MOTIONS WITH CHANGES WITHIN THIS AS WELL.
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE A PARKING REDUCTION OR IF YOU WANT TO EXCLUDE A USE SUCH AS A NAIL SALON OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO THAT.
>> UNDERSTOOD. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
>> YEAH, I JUST WANT TO MAKE A QUICK NOTE ABOUT THE COMMENT ABOUT THERE ARE NO SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES AROUND THERE.
I'M ACTUALLY YOUR NEIGHBOR, AND I'M THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOME.
>> NO, SIR. I WASN'T SAYING THAT THERE WEREN'T SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES AROUND THERE.
I'M SAYING THAT IT'S BEING REZONED AWAY.
THE CURRENT ZONING IS SINGLE-FAMILY, AND THEY'RE REZONING IT TO COMMERCIAL TOO.
IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY, IF FLOODPLAIN BECOMES AN ISSUE, IT WOULD BE EASIER TO CONTROL AND DEAL WITH A SMALLER 01,500-SQUARE-FOOT COMMERCIAL PROPERTY THAN IT WOULD BE A SINGLE FAMILY.
>> I HAPPEN TO DISAGREE JUST BECAUSE A PARKING LOT IS NOT GOING TO THE SOIL, IT'S NOT THERE TO ABSORB.
>> UNDERSTOOD, AND REALLY THAT'S A NEW POINT BECAUSE AT THIS POINT, FLOOD ZONE IS NOT REALLY SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DISCOVER, CAN CONSIDER AT THIS STAGE.
RATHER JUST FOR THE SAKE OF EVERYBODY'S TIME HERE TONIGHT, I JUST DON'T THINK WE SHOULD CONTINUE THAT DISCUSSION AT THIS MOMENT.
BUT ABSOLUTELY IT IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED WHEN IT BECOMES THAT PORTION OF THE PROCESS.
>> HOW MUCH OF THE CURRENT AREA AROUND THIS PROPOSED RETAIL SPACE IS GOING TO REMAIN ZONED FOR SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSING?
IT'S MOSTLY COMMERCIAL ZONING.
[00:20:03]
THE TRACK DIRECTLY TO THE NORTH HAS COMMERCIAL ZONING, AND TO THE NORTHEAST, A PRELIMINARY PLAT WAS APPROVED FOR A GAS STATION ON THAT TRACT.>> OKAY, SO THE AREA THAT WOULD BE, I GUESS, SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST.
I SEE THAT THERE'S A LOT OF GREENERY HERE IN GREEN SPACES, SO I CAN'T REALLY TELL, BUT WOULD ALL OF THIS AREA HERE REMAIN SINGLE-FAMILY ZONED, OR WOULD THAT ALSO BE UP LATER TO BE RE-ZONED FOR COMMERCIAL?
>> THOSE POTENTIALLY COULD BE REZONED FOR COMMERCIAL, BUT AS THEY CURRENTLY SIT TODAY, IT'S ZONED FOR SINGLE-FAMILY ESTATE OR SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.
>> TELL ME YOUR NAME AGAIN. I'M SORRY.
>> YES, MA'AM. MY NAME IS DARREN.
YOU SAID THAT YOU WERE GOING TO BE LOOKING TO THE COMMUNITY TO DECIDE WHAT RETAIL BUSINESSES YOU WOULD TARGET FOR THAT SPACE, RIGHT?
>> HAVE YOU DONE ANY PRELIMINARY RESEARCH TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE RESIDENTS ARE LOOKING FOR IN THAT SPACE?
NO. BUT I KNOW WHAT WE DON'T WANT THERE WITH COLE'S HELP.
I KNOW WE DON'T WANT A VAPE SHOP. WE DON'T WANT SMOKE SHOPS.
WE'RE LOOKING AT JUST PUTTING IN A RETAIL SPACE THAT WE COULD LEASE OUT POTENTIALLY.
>> TO FOLKS, AND IF IT'S ANYTHING THAT COULD HELP A SMALL BUSINESS IN THE AREA GET STARTED, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
>> THIS IS ONE STOREFRONT OR IS.
>> IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE TWO.
>> WE'RE IN THE EARLY STAGES OURSELVES, BUT WE HAVE TO TACKLE THE ZONING PORTION OF THIS FIRST BEFORE WE CAN REALLY DIVE INTO THE DEVELOPMENT SIDE, AND THE BEAUTY OF IT BEING PD, THEN THE CITY WILL BE VERY MUCH A PART OF THE WHOLE PROCESS.
AS FAR AS TIMELINE, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S IN HERE, BUT WHAT IS THE TIMELINE FOR DEVELOPING?
>> MISS KRUM, WE DO NEED TO OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING AND ALLOW ANYONE TO SPEAK?
>> YES. THANK YOU. I'LL REOPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:52.
>> YES, MA'AM. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ME?
>> NOT AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
IS ANYONE HERE FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING? WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:52 AND ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
>> I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.
HOWEVER, NO NAIL SALONS, NO DENTAL FACILITIES, NO COFFEE SHOPS, AND TO KEEP THE PARKING AT THE REGULAR REQUIREMENTS.
>> [BACKGROUND] NAIL SALONS, DENTAL AND COFFEE.
[LAUGHTER] WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
CRAIG, COULD YOU PLEASE DO ME A FAVOR AND DO THE ROLL CALL AGAIN?
>> YES. THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO THE REGULAR AGENDA,
[C. REGULAR AGENDA]
WE HAVE ITEM F1 TO ELECT A CHAIRPERSON.WITH KYLE STEPPING DOWN AND HIS POSITION BEING REPLACED, WE DO NEED TO DISCUSS AND ELECT A NEW CHAIR AND VICE CHAIRPERSON.
OPEN THE FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION.
DON'T EVERYBODY SPEAK AT ONCE? [LAUGHTER]
>> WELL, I'M NOT SURE WHO'S CONSIDERING IT.
I WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER KEVIN HISS FOR CHAIRPERSON UNLESS I'M NOT SURE, DOES THE VICE CHAIR, DO YOU AUTOMATICALLY MOVE TO THAT POSITION, NIKKI, I'M NOT SURE.
>> NO, IT WIPES THE SLATE CLEAN.
WE CAN DISCUSS, AND NOMINATE, AND VOTE, EITHER OR BOTH.
>> I'D LIKE TO KEEP YOU AS WELL, SO [LAUGHTER].
>> THERE CAN BE ONE MOTION AT A TIME, SO CAN YOU CLARIFY WHAT'S BEING MOTIONED ON?
>> KEVIN HISS, I WAS NOMINATING FOR CHAIR.
>> I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM KEVIN, OR IS KEVIN INTERESTED?
[00:25:01]
IS ANYONE ELSE INTERESTED?I THINK I'VE MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY.
I'VE BEEN ON THIS BOARD FOR VERY LONG.
MATTER OF FACT, I THINK A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT PLANNING AND ZONING DID, AND I CAME TO THIS BOARD BECAUSE THERE WERE SOME ISSUES AROUND THE AREA THAT WE WERE JUST SPEAKING ABOUT.
I CAME TO PLANNING AND ZONING, ASKING FOR SOMEBODY TO LISTEN TO ME AND IT SEEMED LIKE I WAS HAVING SOMEBODY LISTEN TO ME.
THEN AN ITEM WAS TABLED THAT WOULD DIRECTLY AFFECT MY PROPERTY POTENTIALLY DUE TO FLOODING.
I CAME BACK TO THE NEXT MEETING, AND THE THING THAT THEY REQUESTED, WHICH WAS AN EXPLANATION BY THAT DEVELOPER, AS FAR AS WHAT HE WAS DOING TO MITIGATE FLOODING, THEY SAID, WE DON'T NEED TO HEAR IT, AND IT WAS PASSED.
I CARE ABOUT WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT, I CARE THAT SOMEBODY'S HEARD THAT SOMEBODY WILL BE LISTENED TO AND I CARE THAT WE ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS.
ULTIMATELY, WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THE LAW.
WE DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY POWER.
IF WE SAY THAT WE WANT SOMETHING TO PASS, THE CITY COUNCIL GETS TO CHOOSE WHETHER IT PASSES OR NOT.
ALL WE HAVE IS OUR VOICE, AND I'LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT.
I APPRECIATE YOU, MAXINE, FOR NOMINATING ME.
>> ALL RIGHT. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND TAKE A VOTE. MISS ELLIS?
>> I'D LIKE TO MOTION NIKKI KRUM AS OUR VICE CHAIRPERSON.
>> HER TERM IS ACTUALLY NOT EXPIRED, SO SHE WILL NOT NEED TO BE [NOISE] RENOMINATED.
>> AS LONG AS I DON'T VACATE, THANK YOU.
[LAUGHTER] I APOLOGIZE, I WAS NOT CLEAR EARLIER. [LAUGHTER].
>> YOU'RE STUCK WITH ME FOR NOW. [LAUGHTER]
>> INFORMATION NEXT MEETING IS MONDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2025.
[G. INFORMATION]
I APOLOGIZE FOR MY IGNORANCE HERE,[Additional Item]
BUT THERE'S NO SPOT FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS. DO WE NEED TO GO OVER THAT?>> WE DO BECAUSE I HAVE A FUTURE AGENDA ITEM.
>> FIRST, IF I COULD MAKE ONE CORRECTION, THE CITY IS CLOSED ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 18 FOR PRESIDENT'S DAY, SO WE'LL MEET AT A SPECIAL MEETING ON TUESDAY THE 19TH.
WE CAN TAKE YOUR QUESTIONS NOW, THOUGH, MISS ELLIS.
>> THANK YOU, AND ACTUALLY, MR. FISHER, THIS IS DIRECTED TOWARDS YOU, PLEASE.
WITH OUR MORATORIUM THAT HAS NOW BEEN EXTENDED OUT 180 DAYS.
I THINK AS A PLANNING AND ZONING COMMITTEE HERE, AND I KNOW IT'S ONLINE SOMEWHERE, BUT I THINK WE NEED A LIST OF EXACTLY WHAT'S IN THE PIPELINE COMING OUR WAY.
I KNOW THE PUBLIC CAN GET TO IT ONLINE, BUT THAT'S ALL WE KEEP HEARING.
WE GOT A MORATORIUM, BUT PLANNING AND ZONING KEEP APPROVING.
IF WE COULD GET A LIST OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY IN THE PIPELINE POTENTIALLY TO COME OUR WAY SO THAT WE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT'S OUT THERE.
>> OKAY. YEAH, MAYOR EUGENE ESCOBAR, MADE A SIMILAR REQUEST.
I'M WORKING ON UPDATING OUR LAND ENTITLEMENTS MAP.
WE HAVE AN INTERACTIVE MAP THAT SHOWS ALL THE SUBDIVISIONS THAT HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN APPROVED, AND HE ASKED TO ADD A BIT OF INFORMATION TO THAT TO CLARIFY THE STATUS OF THAT PROJECT, AND WHAT PHASE THEY MIGHT BE ON, IF IT'S ON HOLD, HOW MANY UNITS HAVE BEEN BUILT, HOW MANY ARE STILL PENDING.
I'M WORKING ON GETTING THAT TOGETHER FOR HIM, AND I THINK IT WILL GET YOU WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR AS WELL.
>> THANK YOU. ONCE IT'S READY, CAN IT BE PUT SOMEWHERE, LINK SOMEWHERE HERE ON THE AGENDA SO THAT WE CAN BE ABLE TO ACCESS IT IF WE NEED TO?
>> YES, MA'AM. WE CAN DO THAT.
>> ANY OTHER FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS? ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
[00:30:02]
>> YES, YOU CAN DO ALL IN FAIR.
>> OKAY. DO YOU MIND IF I JUST MAKE ONE COMMENT REAL QUICK? FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU AGAIN, MAXINE AND EVERYBODY ELSE FOR YOUR VOTE OF CONFIDENCE.
I DID WANT TO MENTION DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
YOU GUYS, CRAIG, YOU'VE DEALT WITH A LOT OF QUESTIONS FROM ME, AND A LOT OF REQUESTS.
I'VE SAID THIS TO YOU PRIVATELY, BUT I WANTED TO SAY IT PUBLICLY.
YOU GUYS ARE REALLY GREAT, AND I THINK THERE'S A BIG MESS FROM YEARS OF THE WAY THINGS HAVE BEEN DONE IN THE PAST.
BUT I'VE BEEN BOTHERING YOU SINCE THE END OF 2023 AND YOU'VE ALWAYS DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB OF FOLLOWING UP NO MATTER HOW MUCH I BOTHER YOU GUYS.
I'M GOING TO CONTINUE TO BOTHER YOU GUYS BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THAT'S MY POSITION UP HERE.
BUT I FEEL LIKE YOU GUYS COULD DEFINITELY USE MORE RESOURCES TO DO WHAT YOU'RE DOING, AND I THINK ANY ISSUES YOU'RE DEALING WITH OR ANY DIFFICULTIES I'M DEALING WITH, ANYTHING THAT'S SLOW THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE IN THE PAST IS ONLY GETTING DONE NOW BECAUSE I PESTER YOU ABOUT IT.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S YOU GUYS, I THINK IT'S JUST LEFTOVER RESIDUAL STUFF FROM THE PAST, BUT I HAVE TO GIVE YOU GUYS PUBLICLY BECAUSE AGAIN I'VE SET IT PRIVATELY, A LOT OF CREDIT FOR STAYING ON TOP OF THINGS AND MAKING SURE THINGS LIKE YOU GUYS ATTACHED EVERYTHING THAT I ASKED FOR TO THE BUILDING PLANS TO GO ALONG WITH IT WITH THESE PLATS, WHICH I REQUESTED LAST TIME, NEXT MEETING.
IT'S THERE. I'VE REQUESTED THINGS TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE POSTED ON THE GIS MAP, AND CRAIG HAS MADE SURE IT GETS DONE.
BUT YOU GUYS, I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.
I'M STILL GOING TO BOTHER YOU, BUT I REALLY DO APPRECIATE WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING.
>> THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS AND FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
IT'S NOT A PROBLEM. HAPPY TO HELP YOU ALL.
>> WE HAD A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR ADJOURNMENT.
THE MEETING ADJOURNED AT 7:02.
