AND THEN PUBLIC HEARING NUMBER THREE, MR. BELL, MOTION TO APPROVE WITH STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS OF A MINIMUM SIZE ROOM OF 300 SQUARE FEET.

THERE WAS A CALL FOR QUESTIONS AND A DISCUSSION OCCURRED.

THE MOTION REMAINED ON THE FLOOR AND MOVED FORWARD.

AND IT WAS SECOND BY MR. BERRY AND NOT MYSELF.

AND THE VOTE, THE VOTING IS CORRECT, TWO YAYS AND FOUR NOS.

FOUR NAYS, AND THEN THE MOTION BY MS. CAESAR AND THE SECOND BY MYSELF.

I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST I'VE ALREADY, UH, DISCUSSED THIS WITH STAFF AND IT'S ON, UH, THE ITEM NUMBER TWO, THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING, WHERE BASICALLY AFTER THE SECOND VOTE, I ASKED FOR THERE TO BE SOME, UH, TYPE OF NOTATION THAT THERE WAS FURTHER DISCUSSION BETWEEN THE COMMISSION AND STAFF, AND ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATION WAS GIVEN, AND THEN THAT'S WHAT PROMPTED THE THIRD VOTE.

SO I WANTED, UH, ANYONE WHO READ THE MINISTER UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS, WE DIDN'T JUST TAKE THREE SUCCESSIVE VOTES.

UH, THERE WAS ACTUALLY SOME ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION BEFORE THE THIRD VOTE, AFTER THERE WAS SOME ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATION, UH, BETWEEN, UH, THE COMMISSION AND STAFF.

I REVIEWED, NO, GO AHEAD.

I REVIEWED THE VIDEO AND THERE WAS ACTUALLY ONLY, UH, MR. BELL NEVER MADE 'EM A MOTION.

YOU ASKED MR. BELL WHAT HIS OPINION WAS BECAUSE YOU WERE, YOU FAILED TO GET, UM, A, A, ANOTHER MOTION.

WHEATLAND MEDICAL PARK EDITION.

ANOTHER MOTION NEVER CAME TO THE FLOOR.

AFTER MR. BELL ASKED, UM, MS. ELLI TO RESTATE HER MOTION, THAT'S WHEN, UH, CALEB SAID HE ONLY HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE FIRST.

AND THEN MR. BREWER CAME BACK AND SAID, HEY, HOWEVER YOU ALL PROVE IT, WE'RE GONNA BE ALL RIGHT WITH IT.

THEN THEY ASKED HER WHAT SHE, WE OFFERED THE MOTION.

MR. UH, MR. BELL NEVER MADE A MOTION.

OKAY, SO YOU'RE SAYING THERE WAS ACTUALLY JUST TWO TIMES AND YES.

GOT YOU, GOT YOU.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU, SIR.

ALRIGHT, COMMISSIONERS, ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS PARTICULAR AGENDA ITEM? ALRIGHT, HEARING THIS IN NONE, WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM, UH, WHICH IS ITEM F1.

UH, THE PUBLIC HEARING NEEDS TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN STAFF RECEIVES ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM THE APPLICANT, UH, STAFF.

COMMISSION EZ WITH THE PLANNING DIVISION CASE NUMBER Z CASE NUMBER Z 1512 OF 23 IS A PLAN DEVELOPMENT REQUEST FROM COMMERCIAL ONE TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT WITH COMMERCIAL.

ONE IS BASED ZONING FOR MINI WAREHOUSE AND TRACK RENTAL.

THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY SOLD COMMERCIAL ONE.

IT IS LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF INTERSTATE 35 EAST.

THE PROPERTY CONSISTS OF THREE 6.33 ACRES OF LAND AND IS ADDRESSED AS 1321 SOUTH INTERSTATE 35 EAST.

AND THE 6 33 3 3 ACRES IS THE

[00:10:01]

THIS IS THE, THE PORTION THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

THIS IS THE WHOLE EURO PROPERTIES.

HOWEVER, THE ONE THAT THEY'RE REQUESTING, PD IS THE ONE THAT IS, UH, HIGHLIGHTED IN RED.

SO THIS IS THE AREA AND, UH, THE, THE AREA OF VIEW OF THE PROPERTY ITSELF.

THE, THE SITE SUBJECT SITE IS VACANT PORTION OF THE EXISTING EURO PROPERTIES TO THE NORTHEAST EXISTING EURO PROPERTIES ZONED COMMERCIAL.

ONE TO THE SOUTH IS A CHURCH ZONED COMMERCIAL ONE AND TO THE WEST ARE SINGLE FAMILY HOME ZONED COMMERCIAL ONE AS WELL TO THE EAST IS UH, 35 EAST.

THE FUTURE END USE OF THE 2015 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IDENTIFIES THE SITE IS SUITABLE FOR OFFICE SLASH RETAIL USES.

SO THE PROPOSED STORAGE FACILITY IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN OF 2015.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ACCESS TO THIS SITE IS FROM, UH, INTER INTERSTATE 35 EAST SERVICE ROAD AND INTERSTATE 35 EAST IS THE PRIMARY HIGHWAY ON THE EASTERN BORDER OF THE CITY.

THOUGH NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE REQUESTED USES HARMONIOUS AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE EXISTING U STORAGE USE PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH.

THE PROPOSED STORAGE FOUR STORY UNIT WILL BE LOCATED ON THE REMAINING AND DEVELOPED SOUTHERN PART OF THE U PROPERTIES.

THE PROPOSED SHRUBS AND TREES WILL GIVE THE TRUCK SLASH TRAILER THE VISIBILITY THAT IS, IS NEEDED FOR THE EURO BUSINESSES.

WELL PARTIALLY SHIELDING THE OPEN TRUCK STORAGE ALONG INTERSTATE 35 EAST FRONTAGE STAFF SUPPORTS THE APPLICANTS REQUESTED.

THIS REQUEST IS SUBMITTED.

THIS IS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN.

LIKE I SAID, AGAIN, THIS IS THE ONLY AREA THAT THEY'RE DEVELOPING NOW BECAUSE THESE OTHER AREAS ARE ALREADY, THEY ARE ALREADY DEVELOPED.

SO THIS IS THIS REMAINING VACANT PROPERTY THAT THEY ARE PROPOSING A FOUR STORY, UH, FACILITY RIGHT HERE.

THE ONE THAT IS HIGHLIGHTED.

THIS IS THE, UH, THE LANDSCAPE PLAN.

THIS IS THE PROPOSED, UM, FACADE.

THE APPLICANT HAS, UM, PROVIDED THE ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES THAT ARE STAFF RECOMMENDED FOR STAFF HAD RECOMMENDED TO ADD TWO MORE PARKING SPACES BECAUSE INITIALLY THE APPLICANT WAS, UH, PROPOSING AID AND, UH, ACCORDING TO OUR ZONING ORDINANCE, THIS, UH, FACILITY, IF THEY WERE NOT ASKING FOR ANY DEVIATION, THIS FACILITY WOULD HAVE NEEDED 14 PARKING SPACES.

AND THEY WERE PROPO INITIALLY PROPOSING EIGHT, AND WE RECOMMENDED THAT THEY ATE TWO MORE, AT LEAST TO, YOU KNOW, TO BE IN THE MIDDLE AT LEAST OF WHAT THEY WERE PROPOSING AND WHAT OUR ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIRES.

SO THEY AGREED TO IT AND NOW THEY HAVE PACKING 10 PARKING SPACES IS SUCH A STAFF IS NOW RECOMMENDING THIS, UH, REQUEST TO BE APPROVED WITH NO CONDITION.

THE STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT THIS ITEM BE APPROVED IS SUBMITTED, AND WE DID PUT THE, UM, UH, THE REVISED SITE PLAN AND LANDSCAPE PLAN ON, ON THE D FOR YOU TO LOOK AT AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

THANK YOU, MA'AM.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS MS. BROOKS? YES.

HAD A, AN EVENING? YES.

UM, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE THAT SHOWS THE ADJACENT USES? I THINK IT WAS ALL COMMERCIAL.

I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM.

YES, IT WAS ALL COMMERCIAL.

YES, IT'S ALL COMMERCIAL.

SO TO THIS SIDE, THIS PROPERTY RIGHT HERE, IT IS AS A HOUSE.

AND THIS, THIS ALSO, THIS ONE IS VACANT, BUT THIS ONE IS A HOUSE.

THIS ONE IS A HOUSE.

THOSE WILL BE CONSIDERED, UH, LEGAL AND NONCONFORMING BECAUSE THEY ARE NOW CURRENTLY ALL THIS RED IS ALL THIS RED IS COMMERCIAL ONE.

SO THOSE EXISTING HOMES THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT HERE, HERE AND THERE, THEY ARE LEGAL AND NONCONFORMING USES.

DID THEY RESPOND TO THE NOTIFICATION WITH ANY CONCERNS? NO.

WE ONLY RECEIVED ONE, UM, LETTER THAT WAS, UH, IN FAVOR OF THIS APPLICATION.

THEY, THEY DIDN'T RESPOND, BUT YES.

A NOTIFICATION WAS SENT OUT TO THEM AND THERE'S, ARE THERE ANY CONCERNS WITH, UM, PARKING OVER, I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH PARKING THIS WOULD

[00:15:01]

REQUIRE.

NOW YOU MET THEM IN THE MIDDLE, BUT IT'S NOT UP TO THE STANDARD.

IS THERE ANY CONCERN ABOUT FROM THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS THAT THEY'LL BE SPILL SPILLOVER PARKING ONTO THEIR PROPERTIES? NOT NECESSARILY, BECAUSE THEIR ENTRANCE IS ONLY FROM SERVICE ROAD RIGHT HERE.

THEY DON'T HAVE ANY ENTRANCE HERE.

SO, SO MUCH SO THAT THERE'S NOT ANY PARKING.

AND THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO, TO, UM, SCREEN THEIR PROPERTY.

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE LIKE FENCING AROUND IT.

SO I DO NOT, SO YEAH, THIS ONE, THIS, THIS, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A FENCING RIGHT HERE ON THE BORDER BETWEEN THIS ONE AND, UH, THIS PROPOSED AREA.

THIS IS THE HOUSE THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT AND ANOTHER HOUSE HERE AND ANOTHER TRAILER MAY BE RIGHT HERE, BUT THIS WHOLE AREA IS VACANT AND THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH.

WHAT, WHAT IS THAT? THOSE ARE THE EXISTING, UM, U FACILITIES.

COULD YOU GO BACK TO THE, THE PLAT, UM, THE PROPOSED WHERE THE CONCEPT, I THINK IT MAY BE.

YEAH, THE POST, YES.

THE PROPOSED CONCEPT, BUT UM, WHERE, WHERE'S THE PARKING? I COULDN'T, WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT THAT.

THE PARKING IS RIGHT.

THE, THE ADDED TWO PARKING SPACES ARE RIGHT HERE.

THESE ONES AND THE OTHER ONES ARE RIGHT HERE.

THE OTHER ONES THAT ARE, ARE LIKE RIGHT HERE.

THEY ARE FOR TRUCKS.

YOU CAN, IT'S WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR SITE AND YOU SEE THAT THEY ARE LONGER THAN THE USUAL PARKING SPACES OR SO THOSE ONES ARE THE ONES THAT THEY'LL BE USING FOR RENTAL OR TRUCKS RIGHT HERE.

GO TO THE NEXT ONE.

SO THIS ONE MAY BE, UH, MORE CLEAR.

SO THESE ONES ARE THE REGULAR PARKING AND THESE TWO, THESE ONES ARE THE ONES THAT WILL BE USING FOR, THEY HAD TRUCKS.

DO YOU KNOW, WILL THE APPLICANT BE HERE THIS EVENING? YES.

THE APPLICANT WILL BE HERE? YES.

I, I WAS WONDERING THE PARKING SPACES, ARE THOSE GONNA BE USED FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE COMING TO RENT? YES.

THO, THO THOSE ARE FOR PEOPLE WHO BE COMING TO DO WHATEVER BUSINESS WITH, WITH THE FACILITY.

AND IS IT A DRIVE? I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IS IT A DRIVE-IN FACILITY WHERE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE STORAGE CAN DRIVE INTO THE WAREHOUSE ITSELF? I DOUBT BECAUSE THIS IS A FOUR STORY BUILDING.

SO I DON'T SEE HOW THEY CAN DRIVE INTO CAN YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE OVER? LEMME SEE.

RIGHT HERE.

SEE IT.

IT SAYS DRIVE IN STORAGE.

THAT'S WHAT WAS THROWING ME UP.

OH, OKAY.

AND THEY HAVE THESE TWO BIG, SO I DIDN'T KNOW IF THEY'RE ABLE TO DRIVE INTO THEIR STORAGE ROOM BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF YOU'RE HAVING TO PARK OUTSIDE AND TAKE STUFF IN, THAT'S GONNA BE A, A LOT OF MOVING.

SO I THINK THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION THAT THE APPLICANT MIGHT BE ABLE TO ANSWER BETTER THAN MYSELF.

AND THE LAST THING, DID THIS, DID THIS COMPANY COME BEFORE US LAST YEAR OR EARLY PART OF THIS YEAR TO GET THIS RESOLVED FOR THIS PARTICULAR, I DO NOT REMEMBER.

BUT YOU'RE COMING IN HERE.

GO BACK TO THE UH, DCA MAP PLEASE.

THIS SAME OWNER CAME, UH, YOU WAS CONSIDERING THE PLATING COMBINING THESE TWO LOTS HERE.

RIGHT NOW THEY'RE SHOWN TO BE GRASS, BUT THEY HAVE NOW BUILT A SINGLE BUILDING ON THIS PROPERTY.

SO ALL OF THESE LOTS ARE GOING TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH, UM, THE SAME OWNER.

THOSE GRAY ONES.

THERE ARE THE OLDER TYPE THAT HAVE THE OUTSIDE GARAGE DOOR, WHATEVER YOU CALL IT.

THEY HAVE BUILT ON THESE TWO PLANTED LOTS, A BRAND NEW FACILITY WITH A DRAINAGE WAY.

NOW THEY'RE PROPOSING TO DEVELOP THIS PROPERTY THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING ZONED, UH, EXCUSE ME, CURRENTLY BEING USED AS, UH, FOR THEIR STORAGE TRUCKS ON GRAVEL.

SO THEY'RE COMING BACK AND MAKING THOSE REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS IN ADDITION TO THE BUILDING CONCRETE PARKING LOT, ET CETERA.

SO THIS ENTIRE COMPLEX IS GOING TO BE, UH, ENCLOSED GATED IN, UH, FOR SECURITY.

THE ONLY ENTRANCE WILL BE THE CURRENT ENTRANCE THAT EXISTS NOW FOR PEOPLE TO COME IN HERE, THAT'S WHERE THE, THE, UH, OFFICE BUILDING IS NOW THAT YOU GO INTO.

SO YOU'LL STILL DRIVE IN THERE AND AS YOU SEE FROM, THERE'S SITE PLANE, YOU'RE STILL COMING IN THE SAME ENTRANCE,

[00:20:01]

AND AS YOU SEE, WHAT THEY HAVE IS GOING TO BE, UM, BUILDINGS A THROUGH G BUILDING A, THIS IS THE ONE I WAS SAYING THAT HAD BEEN TWO LOTS THAT CAME TO YOU AND YOU, UH, AUTHORIZED THE REPLANTING TO BE COMBINED.

SO THAT'S THE NEW BUILDING.

THEY'RE CALLING IT A, THESE ARE THE OLD EXISTING FLAT TOP ONES.

B, C, D, E.

THE OFFICE IS F AND NOW THE NEW ONE IS GONNA BE G.

UM, JUST BACK TO SLIDE NUMBER THREE, THIS JUST PURE CURIOSITY, THE TWO HOMES TO THE WEST OF THE PROPERTY, I DID HEAR MS. RAZZI SAY THAT THEY ARE DOING A GREAT JOB ANTICIPATING ON DOING A GREAT JOB OF BLOCKAGE.

ARE THOSE HOMES THE ENTRANCES OFF OF THAT MEADOW STREET? I DIDN'T VISIT THE PROPERTY, SO DON'T HOLD THAT AGAINST ME.

THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY IN FOR THOSE PARTICULAR HOMES COMING OFF OF 35 SOUTHBOUND.

MM-HMM, .

IT'S THIS SINGLE STREET HERE.

I THINK IT'S CA MEADOWS MEADOW.

AND THEN IT TURNS INTO ANOTHER STREET NAME MEADOW.

IT'S TWO DIFFERENT STREET NAMES.

IT'S STREET THERE AND A STREET THERE.

BUT IT DEAD ENDS HERE.

SO THIS IS THE ONLY WAY BROOKS, FOR ANY OF THESE PROPERTY OWNERS TO GET IN AND OUT WITH THEIR PROPERTY.

JUST CURIOUS.

THE COMMISSION TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL OF PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE ZONING PLAN, MASTER PLAN, AND MASTER THERAPY PLAN.

ALRIGHT, COMMISSIONERS, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? ALRIGHT, HEARING TO SEE NONE, WE'LL GO ON TO OUR THIRD PUBLIC HEARING, UH, WHICH IS CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING THE 2024 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS REQUIRED BY THE CITY OF DESOTOS HOME RULE CHARTER ARTICLE 10, UH, PLANNING SECTION TWO.

UH, MAY WE HAVE OUR STAFF REPORT PLEASE? ANYWAY, I'M SORRY.

I'M SORRY THAT I, I DON'T KNOW WHY MY, THE POWERPOINT IS NOT.

OKAY, THIS ITEM IS ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

AS YOU ALL KNOW, YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW, SO I'M JUST GOING TO DO A SUMMARY AND THEN IF YOU NEED, UH, THE CONSULTANT IS HERE, IF YOU NEED TO, TO HEAR FROM THEM BEFORE THE, UH, PUBLIC HEARING ITSELF, YOU MAY DO.

SO.

THE FIRST THING IS, WHAT IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS A LONG RANGE PLANNING TO AND DOCUMENT THAT ESTABLISHES A LONG TERM VISION FOR THE COMMUNITY.

IT GUIDES THE CITY COUNCIL APPOINTED OFFICIALS AND STAFF IN DECISION MAKING RELATED TO LAND USE, HOUSING, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TRANSPORTATION, STREET SCAPE, AS WELL AS URBAN DESIGN.

IT IS A UNIFIED VISION OF WHAT THE CITY CAN BECOME.

IN 2015, THE CITY OF DESOTO ADOPTED THE 2015 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH UPDATED 2003.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

NATIONAL PLANNING STANDARDS RECOMMEND THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLANS BE UPDATED EVERY 10 YEARS.

THE CURRENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE ALIGN WITH THE 10 YEARS UPDATING PERIOD WHILE FULFILLING THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2023.

GOAL NUMBER THREE, TO DO THE TASK, THE CITY COUNCIL CONTRACTED WITH AE COMM IN MAY 2ND, 2022 TO UPDATE THE 2015 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SINCE SUMMER OF 2022, AE COMM HAS WORKED WITH THE CITY COUNCIL PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, THE DI DISORDER DEVELOPMENT, COOPERATE COOPERATION, THE AND THE STEERING COMMITTEE CITY STAFF, AS WELL AS THE RESIDENTS TO DEVELOP THE 2024 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

A ECOM HAD SIX MEETINGS WITH THE STEERING COMMITTEE, THREE PUBLIC INPUT SESSIONS, THREE ONLINE SERVICES SURVEYS, ONE OPEN HOUSE AND SIX CITY COUNCIL PLANNING AND ZONING AND DDC JOINT SESSION MEETINGS AND THE CITY OF DISORDER, HOME RULE CHARTER ARTICLE 10 PLANNING AND SECTION TWO REQUIRES

[00:25:01]

THE 2024 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATES UPDATES THE CITY COUNCIL, THE CITY'S MASTER PLAN, AND REQUIRES THE COMMISSION TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION OF EITHER APPROVAL OR DENIAL.

AND ON NOVEMBER 26TH, 2023, A NOTICE FOR THIS PUBLIC HEARING WAS PUBLISHED IN DAILY FOCUS NEWSPAPER, AND AS OF DECEMBER 7TH, 2023, NO LETTERS WERE RECEIVED IN FAVOR IN OPPOSITION TO THE CITIES OF DE DISORDERS.

24 20 24.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAKING A PRESENTATION TONIGHT IS A E-COM AND STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE COMMISSION MAKE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL OF THE 2024 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AFTER THE PRESENTATION.

AND LIKE I SAID AGAIN, UH, THE A E-COM IS WITH US THIS EVENING.

I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM THEM NOW OR YOU WANT TO WAIT FOR THE, UM, PUBLIC HEARING HEARING ITSELF COMMISSION.

WHAT'S YOUR PLEASURE? DO YOU, YOU WANT TO HEAR THE PRESENTATION NOW? YOU WANNA WAIT TILL THE REGULAR SESSION? PUBLIC HEARING.

PUBLIC HEARING.

OKAY, SO MAKES SENSE.

ALSO, ANOTHER THING THAT I WANTED TO MAKE A NOTATION ABOUT IS THAT, UH, IS, IS WITHIN YOUR STAFF REPORT THAT THERE ARE TWO SECTIONS, TWO CHAPTERS THAT WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THIS CURRENT, THE ONE THAT WILL BE HEARING TONIGHT, THE PRESENTATION TONIGHT, THAT IS THE STREET, CAPE STREET SCAPE, AS WELL AS URBAN DESIGN CHAPTERS.

THOSE WILL BE ADDED LATER.

THE REASON IS THAT, UH, FOR THE E UM, UH, DESIGN CHAPTER, UH, THESE, UM, THE CITY WANTS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE HAMPTON PROJECT IN PLACE ADOPTED BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME ELEMENTS THAT THE CITY BELIEVES CAN BE APPLIED TO OTHER SECTIONS OF THE CITY AS WELL.

SO ONCE THAT IS ADOPTED, THEN UM, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CAN BE THEN MODELED IN ACCORDANCE TO WHATEVER IS GOING TO BE ADOPTED WITH THE TON PROJECT.

THE STREETSCAPE ALSO, UH, THERE WAS, UH, AN ISSUE ABOUT, UH, DISCRETIONS BETWEEN, UH, CHAPTER SEVEN AND CHAPTER EIGHT, WHICH IS THE STREET SCAPE AND THE TRANSPORTATION, UH, CHAPTERS.

WE DID CONSULT WITH, UH, UM, FRIES NICOS, WHICH THEY DO A LOT OF, UH, TRANSPORTATION, UM, UM, PROJECTS.

AND THEY, THEY DID LOOK AT THE CHAPTER SEVEN AND CHAPTER, UM, EIGHT, THE TRANSPORTATION, TRANSPORTATION CHAPTER.

AND THEY NOTIFIED US THAT THERE WERE NOT A LOT OF DISCREPANCIES.

THEY WERE JUST, UM, THERE'S NEED FOR THE CROSS SECTIONS ON, ON THE STREET DESIGN, WHICH IS CHAPTER EIGHT TO BE MODIFIED SO THAT BECAUSE, UM, AECOM DIDN'T WORK ON THE STREETS, SCAPE, AECOM WAS CONTRACTED NOT TO WORK FOR, TO, TO DO ANYTHING ON THE STREETS SCAPE CHAPTER.

SO THAT'S WHY AT FIRST WHEN WE DID BRING THIS TO YOU AND AECOM, UH, PRESENTED, THERE WAS AN ISSUE THAT, UH, THOSE TWO CHAPTERS WERE NOT IN, IN SYNC.

AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY STAFF TOOK THIS, UH, STEP TO CONSULT WITH ANOTHER CONSULTANT.

AND ACTUALLY, FRIES AND NICHOLS ARE THE ONES WHO WORKED ON THE 2015 MAFA THERAPY PLAN.

SO THEY LOOKED AT, UH, WHAT A ECOM HAS ON CHAPTER SEVEN, THE, UM, TRANSPORTATION AND THE STREET ESCAPE THAT FRIES AND UCOS DID, AND DID THE COMPARISON AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WERE NOT SO MANY, NOT AS MANY DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN THE TWO CHAPTERS.

HOWEVER, THAT STILL NEEDS TO BE RECONCILED TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, UH, THOSE TWO CHAPTERS ARE IN SYNC.

AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE ARE PULLING THAT CHAPTER RIGHT NOW.

THOSE TWO CHA, THE STREET SCAPE FOR IT TO BE REDESIGNED IN TERMS OF ITS, UM, UH, UM, CROSS SECTIONS.

SO WE JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW, AND WE DID PUT AN EMAIL THAT CAME FROM, UH, FRI NI SAYING THAT THERE'S NOT MUCH, UH, DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE TWO CHAPTERS.

QUESTION MR. RENO? YES, MR. RAZZI.

UH, COMMISSIONER BROOKS, UH, WE FOLLOWED UP YOUR CONCERN THAT WAS BROUGHT UP DURING THE COUNCIL MEETING, UM, SINCE WE DIDN'T HAVE NECESSARILY IN-HOUSE THAT PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND ON THAT.

UM, DURING THE BREAK, I WILL HAVE, UM, BERNARD TO GET A COPY OF THAT LETTER FROM, UH, FREEZER NICHOLS.

SO YOU'LL HAVE IT AT YOUR D NOW IF YOU HAVE ANY INPUT YOURSELF, YOU KNOW, PLEASE SHARE IT WITH US.

BUT WE DID GET, UH, AN OUTSIDE FIRM TO REVIEW THOSE TWO CHAPTERS AND THAT'S WHAT, UH, THEY TOLD US ONLY NEEDED TO BE ON THE, UH, DETAILS.

IS IS THAT WHAT? IT'S CROSS SECTIONS.

CROSS SECTIONS.

SO WE'LL GET THAT TO YOU DURING YOUR BREAK.

[00:30:01]

I WAS WONDERING THE INFORMATION THAT WAS SENT TO US TO REVIEW ON THE PRESENTATION TONIGHT.

IS THAT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE SEEING? YES.

SO, SO THAT'S WHAT IS GOING TO BE PRESENTED TONIGHT AND THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE AIR AND DESIGN DESIGNING THE STREET SCAPE.

BECAUSE THOSE WILL BE ADDED I THINK, UM, EARLIER PART OF NEXT YEAR.

AND ON SLIDE NUMBER THREE, MAY YOU GO BACK TO, YOU WERE SAYING THAT THE COMP PLAN, UM, IT'S GONNA FULFILL THE CITY'S FISCAL YEAR 2023.

GOAL NUMBER THREE, DO YOU KNOW SPECIFIC WHAT IS THAT PARTICULAR GOAL? UH, WE'LL BRING IT, WE'LL NEED TO GET THE BOOK AND BRING IT BACK.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE, THE CITY'S STRATEGIC PLAN.

ALRIGHT COMMISSIONERS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT.

ALL RIGHT.

HEARING IS SEEING NONE.

IS THERE A VOLUNTEER, UH, FOR THE PLEDGE TONIGHT? UH, MS. BROOKS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, UH, STAFF.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE WE NEED TO TAKE UP BEFORE WE ADJOURN? NO SIR.

AND COMMISSIONERS, IS THERE ANYTHING WE NEED TO TAKE UP BEFORE WE ADJOURN? ALRIGHT, SEEING THE HEARING, THE NONE I DID WANT TO SAY THANK YOU ALL TO THE, FOR THE, THEN WE HAVE SOME GIFTS BACK THERE THAT CAME FROM YOU ALL.

UH, BAGS.

THEY DIDN'T COME FROM US.

MAYBE SANTA BROUGHT 'EM.

SANTA.

WELL WOULD YOU PLEASE LET SANTA KNOW THAT WE APPRECIATE 'EM? SANTA.

OH, SAYING NICK GETTING OUT EARLY THIS, THIS YEAR.

UH, 1 3 2 1 SOUTH I 35

[00:40:01]

EAST OF U-HAUL PROPERTIES.

THE U-HAUL PROPERTIES CONSIST CONSISTENT, CONSISTS, EXCUSE ME, OF APPROXIMATELY 6.33 ACRES OF LAMB LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS TRACK 11 AND TRACK 12 BLOCK A JAMES PORTER SURVEY, ABSTRACT NUMBER 1 1 2 9, UH, PAGE 3 95 AND LOTS NINE RR AND NINE RR ONE BLOCK A METAL, UH, ACRES SLASH U-HAUL EDITION.

THIS IS CASE NUMBER Z DASH 1512 DASH 23.

AND MS. RAZZI, MAY WE HAVE A STAFF REPORT PLEASE? YES.

GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.

GOOD EVENING CASE C 15 12 23 IS A PLANT DEVELOPMENT REQUEST FROM COMMERCIAL ONE TO PLANT DEVELOPMENT WITH COMMERCIAL ONE IS THE BEST ZONING TO ALLOW FOR MANY WAREHOUSE AND TRUCK RENTAL.

THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY OWNED COMMERCIAL ONE.

IT IS LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF INTERSTATE 35 EAST.

THE PROPERTY CONSISTS OF 6.33 ACRES OF LAND AND IS ADDRESSED AS 1321 SOUTH INTERSTATE 35 EAST.

THIS IS THE, THE AREA OF VIEW OF THE SITE AND THE PDS FOR THE WHOLE U PROPERTY.

BUT THE ONE THAT THEY WANT TO DEVELOP IS THIS SOUTHERN, SOUTHERN PROPERTY, SOUTHERN AREA THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDEVELOPED.

THE SUBJECT SITE IS VACANT, IS A VACANT PORTION OF THESE EXISTING EURO PROPERTIES TO THE NORTHEAST EXISTING EURO PROPERTIES THAT ARE ZONED COMMERCIAL, ONE TO THE SOUTHEAST, A CHURCH ZONED COMMERCIAL ONE AND TO THE WEST, UM, SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ZONED C ONE, COMMERCIAL ONE AND TO THE EAST IS THE INTERSTATE 35 EAST.

THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN OF THE 2015 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IDENTIFIES THIS SITE IS SUITABLE FOR OFFICE SLASH RETAIL USES AND THE PROPOSED STORAGE FACILITY IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN OF THE 2015 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

ACCESS TO THIS PROPERTIES FROM INTERSTATE 35 EAST SERVICE ROAD AND I INTERSTATE 35 EAST IS A PRIMARY HIGHWAY ON THE EASTERN BORDER OF THE CITY.

IN TERMS OF THE PD ANALYSIS THOUGH THOUGH THE REQUEST IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE 2015 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE REQUESTED USES ARE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE EXISTING EURO STORAGE FACILITIES PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH.

THE PROPOSED FOUR STORY UNIT WILL BE LOCATED ON THE REMAINING AND UNDEVELOPED SOUTHERN PORT PORTION OF THE EURO PROPERTIES.

THE PROPOSED SHRUBS AND TREES WILL GIVE THE TRUCK SLASH TRAILERS THE VISIBILITY THAT IS NEEDED FOR THE EURO BUSINESS WHILE PARTIALLY SHIELDING THE OPEN TRUCK SLASH TRAILER STORAGE ALONG THE I 35 EAST FRONTAGE STAFF SUPPORT.

THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST IS SUBMITTED.

THIS IS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN AND AS I MENTIONED DURING WORK SESSION, THEY'RE ACTUALLY PROPOSING A WAR RIGHT HERE SEPARATING THE CHURCH AND THE FACILITY AND, AND ALSO SOME SCREENING ON, ON THE WESTERN SIDE AS WELL.

THIS IS THE PROPOSED, UH, LANDSCAPE PLAN AND THIS IS THE PROPOSED ELEVATION PLAN.

THIS IS, UH, THE , THE SOUTH AND THE WEST, UM, SECTIONS OF THE, UM, BUILDING STAFF HAD REQUESTED, UH, THAT, UH, THE APPLICANT ADD TWO MORE PARKING SPACES TO WHAT THEY WERE PROPOSING AND THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO ADD THOSE, UH, PARKING SPACES.

SO NOW STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THIS, THE APPROVAL OF THIS ITEM WITHOUT ANY CONDITION.

SO STAFF IS ACTUALLY RECOMMENDING APPROVAL IS SUBMITTED AND THE APPLICANT IS IN IS IN TONIGHT FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT, UM, THE COMMISSION MIGHT HAVE.

AND I'LL BE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT I CAN BE ABLE TO ANSWER.

THANK YOU MS. MOON, COMMISSIONER.

SO ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? YES, I HAVE ONE MSRA, UM, MS. MOONI ON THE, UM, WEST SIDE DID YOU SAY, I KNOW YOU SAID THERE'S GONNA BE A WALL.

DID YOU SAY IT'S GONNA BE SCREENING LIKE IT'S GONNA HAVE ON THE, UH, THE WEST SIDE AS WELL? YEAH, THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME, SOME SCREENING RIGHT HERE AS WELL AS ALONG HERE.

I BELIEVE IT'S A SIX FOOT, UH, MASONRY BRICK SCREENING WALL.

THANK YOU COMMISSIONER.

LET, LET ME JUST MAKE A NOTE.

UM, IN OUR ZONING ORDINANCE, WE DO HAVE A SECTION THAT IDENTIFIES WHEN COMMERCIAL USED OR ZONED PROPERTY IS ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.

[00:45:01]

THE ROAD THAT EXISTS BETWEEN THIS PROPERTY AND THOSE PROPERTIES ON THE WEST THUS ESTABLISHES THAT THOSE PROPERTIES ARE NOT ADJACENT OR ADJOINING TO EACH OTHER.

SO THAT IS GOING TO TAKE AWAY, IF DESIRED A MASONRY WALL ALONG THE ROAD ITSELF.

PROPERTIES HAVE TO BE THAT ADJACENT LINE TO HAVE THE REQUIREMENT FOR THAT SCREENING WALL.

WHAT, UH, BESTER HAD INDICATED THAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A SCREENING WALL ON THE SOUTH SIDE? AM I CORRECT? YES.

THE SIDE, THE SOUTH SIDE.

I'M SORRY.

I WANT TO NOT TO GET CONFUSED WITH SOUTH AND WEST.

SO IF, IF THEY DESIRE TO PLACE A, JUST A SECURITY TYPE FENCING ALONG THAT ROAD, THAT WOULD BE THEIR OPTION HERE.

BUT WE CAN GET CLARIFICATION FROM THE APPLICANT SPECIFICALLY WHAT TYPE OF SCREENING OR SECURITY WALL THEY'RE GONNA DO ALONG THE ROAD IF YOU'RE DESIRING TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN FOR PROPERTIES OWNERS ON THE WEST SIDE OF METAL STREET.

THANK YOU MR. BURR.

ALRIGHT, COMMISSIONERS, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? MR. BELL? MR. HELLO? YES, MS. RAZZI IS, UH, I'M LOOKING AT THIS, THIS MAP WE HAVE UP HERE AND ON THE WEST END OF THE DRIVE THROUGH HERE.

IS THAT A GATE MARKED ON THIS MAP HERE? RIGHT HERE? IT'S, YEAH, IT TALKS ABOUT SOME BARRIER RIGHT HERE THAT, UH, THIS, THEY WILL NOT BE USING THIS AGAIN.

LET'S LET THE APPLICANT SPEAK ON THAT.

IT MIGHT BE A GATE, BUT IT MAY BE A LOCKED GATE WITH SOME TYPE OF FIRE CODE BOX, BUT LET THEM ADDRESS THAT.

ALL RIGHT.

COMMISSIONERS, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? OKAY, HEARING IS SEEING NONE THE TIME IS NOW SEVEN 14.

UH, WE WILL SEVEN 15.

WE WILL NOW TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO OPEN, UH, THE PUBLIC HEARING, UH, THE, THIS OPPORTUNITY AT THIS TIME.

IF THE APPLICANT IS HERE, YOU'RE NOT REQUIRED TO DO SO, BUT YOU DO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME FORTH AND ADDRESS THE COMMISSION.

UH, IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO SO, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO SO.

ALSO, UH, DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING, ANY OTHER INTERESTED PARTY WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE HEARD, EITHER IN FAVOR OR IN OPPOSITION OF THIS AGENDA ITEM WOULD HAVE THAT SAME OPPORTUNITY, UH, TO VOICE, UH, THEIR POSITION.

UH, SO AGAIN, THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

AGAIN, WE'LL GIVE THE APPLICANT THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO COME FORTH, UH, IF THE APPLICANT IS SO CHOOSES TO DO SO.

AND SIR, WHAT YOU APPROACHING? UH, WOULD YOU PLEASE, UH, BEFORE YOU, UH, BEGIN YOUR COMMENTS, UH, IF YOU WOULD GIVE US YOUR NAME AND YOUR CITY OF UH, RESIDENCE, PLEASE? UH, MATT MERRILL.

I'M WITH THE, UH, U-HAUL COMPANY AND THE, UH, ADDRESS IS EIGHT 11 ON EAST STATE HIGHWAY 1 21 IN LEWISVILLE, TEXAS.

SO, UM, A COUPLE CLARIFICATIONS.

THE, THE ITEM ON THE WEST SIDE THAT YOU WERE SPEAKING OF, THAT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE A GATE, THAT'S THE FINE PRINT RIGHT THERE IS THE 88 ACCESS TO THE SIDEWALK THAT'S REQUIRED ON THE BACK.

SO IT'S NOT A GATE IF YOU LIKE REALLY ZOOM IN, IT'S JUST POINTING TO THE SIDEWALK, UM, SAYING A DA ACCESS.

AND SO IS THAT NOT AN OPENING THERE? IS IT COMPLETELY CLOSED OFF THERE? IT IS CO IT IS COMPLETELY CLOSED OFF.

IS IT, IT'S THE FIRE LANE.

WELL, THE, THERE IS EXIT TO THE BACK, BUT NOT AT THAT POINT.

THERE'S A FIRE LANE EXIT TO THE BACK ROAD.

UM, I BELIEVE, UH, MEADOWS IS THE BACK ROAD THERE.

OKAY, BUT THAT, THAT IS NOT AN EXIT THAT, THAT SPOT RIGHT THERE? NO, WHAT, WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT THERE.

IF, IF, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO ZOOM INTO THAT.

IT'S POINTING, IT'S POINTING TO THE A DA RAMPS THAT NEED TO BE CALLED OUT ON THE SITE PLAN.

SO ON THE SOUTH SIDE, WHICH WOULD BE THE BEHIND THE BACK OF THE BUILDING, UM, WORKING, UH, UH, PARDON ME, I DON'T REMEMBER THE CITY COUNCIL WOMAN'S NAME FOR THIS AREA, BUT SHE ASKED US TO PUT A FENCE SEPARATING OUR PROPERTY FROM THE FENCE, UH, FROM THE, UH, CHURCH THERE, JUST FROM AN AESTHETIC.

SO THAT IS A, UH, SIX FOOT FENCE THAT SHE ASKED FOR BACK THERE.

AND THAT'D BE DR. MARKS? YES.

YOUR, IT'S NOT LIKE THE STORAGE THAT WE HAVE ON THE NORTH LOT FROM, YOU KNOW, EARLY EIGHTIES OUTSIDE STORAGE.

SO, UM, ON THE SIDE THERE, THERE'S ONE LITTLE, UH, TRAILER THAT ONE GENTLEMAN STILL LIVES IN THERE.

THE SCREENING AROUND THE, THAT TRAILER THERE, WE DID A LIVING SCREEN AROUND THAT AREA KIND OF TO SEPARATE OUR PROPERTY FROM OUR NEIGHBOR, WHICH HE COMES AND VISITS WITH US EVERY DAY.

SO ALSO WE HAVE SOME SCREENING AROUND THE FRONT BUSINESS.

UH, THE KNOT INSURANCE AGENCY, THAT'S WHO SOLD US THE PROPERTY SOME 15 YEARS AGO.

AGAIN, THIS STORAGE FACILITY IS GOING TO BE ALL INSIDE STORAGE.

SO IT'S NOT

[00:50:01]

IT'S ALL INTERIOR STORAGE.

IT HAS LOAD AND UNLOAD.

IT HAS INDIVIDUALLY ALARMED ROOMS AND CONTROLLED ACCESS.

SO EVERY CUSTOMER WILL HAVE AN ACCESS TO BE ABLE TO GET IN THE FACILITY.

YOU JUST CAN'T COME AND GO.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE ACCESS AND YOU HAVE TO TURN YOUR ALARM OFF SPECIFICALLY FOR YOUR UNIT.

THOSE ARE ALL MONITORED BY OUR MAC SECURITY SYSTEMS. UM, SO KIND OF A STATE OF ART FACILITY.

AND THE IMAGE OF THAT FACILITY IS GONNA LOOK VERY SIMILAR TO THE BUILDING THAT WE JUST FINISHED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE EXISTING STORAGE, WHICH IS OUR PORTABLE STORAGE.

BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS Y'ALL MIGHT HAVE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT.

AND BEFORE YOU, UH, UH, AND COMMISSIONER CAESAR, I SEE YOU JUST, UH, UH, JUST WANNA MAKE A QUICK CORRECTION 'CAUSE YOU KNOW, THE STATE, THE, THE STAFF ALWAYS KEEPS, KEEPS ME IN LINE.

SO IT WAS NOT DR. MARKS THAT YOU SPOKE TO, IT WAS ACTUALLY UH, COM UH, COUNCIL MEMBER RAPHAEL, SORRY, YES.

THAT YOU SPOKE.

NO, NO, NOT, NO.

SO IT IS OKAY, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE RECORD'S CLEAR.

SO YOU SPOKE TO, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER RAPHAEL RAPHAEL.

ALRIGHT, WITH THAT BEING SAID, UH, COMMISSIONER CAESAR, GO AHEAD.

UM, LOOKING AT THIS PARTICULAR ELEVATION PLAN DRIVE IN STORAGE, AND I SEE GARAGE DOORS THAT ARE, THEY'RE BLACK, SO I'M ASSUMING YOU CAN DRIVE IN.

IS THAT WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE OR IT'S, IT'S KIND OF DRIVE IN.

YOU CAN BACK UP TO IT AND THAT'S A LOAD AND UNLOAD AREA THAT YOU WOULD BE PROTECTED FROM THE WEATHER.

SO YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY DRIVE COMPLETELY INTO THE BUILDING, BUT IT'S, IT'S, YOU CAN BACK THE TRUCK UP.

YOU CAN PUT A CAR SOMEWHAT IN THERE.

IT'S NOT DEEP ENOUGH FOR LIKE A FULL U-HAUL TRUCK, BUT IT'S INTENT IS TO GET OUT OF THE WEATHER.

WHEN YOU'RE MOVING INTO STORAGE.

COMMISSIONER R UH, YES.

UH, WHAT TYPE OF MATERIAL ARE YOU GOING TO BE USING ON THE SIX FOOT FENCE BETWEEN YOUR PROPERTY AND THE CHURCH? UH, THAT HASN'T BEEN DETERMINED YET, BUT I WOULD, I WOULD ASSUME PROBABLY A WOOD FENCE OR A STAINED WOOD FENCE OR OKAY.

AND THE PARKING SPACES, COMMISSIONER RAPHAEL, THE SITE PLAN DOES SHOW PROPOSED SIX FOOT MASONRY SCREENING WALL.

AND WE WOULD GO BY THIS, THIS WILL BECOME A, A, A BIBLE FOR US.

SO THAT'S WHAT'S BEING SHOWED.

SO I GUESS IT SHOWS THAT'S NOT WHAT THE INTENT IS.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I INTENDED, BUT I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA HAVE TO PUT NOW THAT'S NOT WHAT WAS ASKED FOR, BUT, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A POSSIBILITY IF WE CAN MAKE A CHANGE ON THAT NOW WITHOUT SETTING US BACK TOO FAR.

BUT COMMISSIONER RA, UH, COUNCILWOMAN RAPHAEL JUST ASKED US TO PUT A, A FENCE THERE.

I DON'T BELIEVE A SCREENING WALL IS REQUIRED THERE.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WERE DOING, BUT THE INTENT WAS TO PUT A SIX FOOT FENCE.

AND, UM, EXCUSE ME, MR. BREWER, ARE YOU'RE SAYING THAT SINCE THAT IS NOTATED ON OUR DOCUMENTS, THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD BE WHEN WE, IF WE PROVE IT, WE'RE VOTING ON BASED ON WHAT'S HERE, CORRECT? YES.

BUT YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THAT AN AMENDMENT.

'CAUSE THIS IS GONNA BE ATTACHED TO THE ORDINANCE, UH, IF APPROVED BY COUNSEL.

SO IF YOU'RE SUPPORTING HIS REQUEST NOT TO HAVE A MASONRY OFFENSE, IT WOULD BE IDEAL THAT THAT COMES OUT RIGHT NOW.

AND BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT QUESTION, MR. BREWER WAS STAFF'S POSITION, UH, REGARDING THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST? THE STATEMENT WAS CORRECT.

UH, OUR ZONING ORDINANCE ONLY REQUIRES A MASONARY FENCE IF IT'S, UH, ADJACENT TO EMBROIDERING RESIDENTIAL USE PROPERTY.

AND THIS IS NOT, UH, WHEN YOU HAVE A CHURCH, IT'S NOT RESIDENTIAL USED PROPERTY.

THANKS SIR.

MM-HMM, AND TO KILL, THAT'S THE BACKSIDE OF THE BUILDING.

SO IT'S A, THE BUILDING IS ESSENTIALLY A SOLID WALL ON THE BACK.

THERE'S NO, THERE'S ONE DOOR I BELIEVE THAT'S BACK THERE, WHICH IS AN EMERGENCY FIRE EXIT.

AND THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD FOR YOU, THE PARKING SPACES OR THERE WAS GONNA BE USED FOR CUSTOMERS WHO ARE COMING TO RENT U-HAUL TRUCKS? OR IS THAT FOR PEOPLE PARKING TO TAKE, UM, BELONGINGS IN? UH, IT WOULD BE BOTH.

BOTH.

THERE, JOHN? YEAH, THERE'S TREES AND BUSHES BACK THERE.

I, I, I BELIEVE WE HAVE 10 PARKING SPOTS NOW.

UM, I'M SORRY, I'LL GET YOUR LAST NAME WRONG.

SO MS. BEST ASKED US TO PUT 10 THERE, SO WE DID THAT.

BUT ON AVERAGE A STORAGE FACILITY WOULD HAVE TWO OR THREE CUSTOMERS THERE AT ANY GIVEN TIME.

AT OUR BUSIEST MOMENT IF WE EVER ABLE TO USE 10 OF THOSE PARKING SPOTS, I WOULD BE EXTREMELY EXCITED, BUT IT'S JUST NOT VERY LIKELY.

ALRIGHT, COMMISSIONERS, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS MS. CAESAR? YES.

AND ALONG THE WEST PORTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT, WHAT TYPE OF SCREENING ARE YOU GOING TO USE THERE ALONG THE MEADOW STREET? MEADOW STREET? WE HAVE A LIVING SCREEN.

WE HAVE, UH, BUSHES AND TREES.

UH, I DON'T, IS THERE TREES BACK

[00:55:01]

WELL, ALRIGHT COMMISSIONERS, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? ALRIGHT, HEARING IS SEEING NONE.

I APPRECIATE IT.

IS THERE ANY OTHER INTERESTED PARTY, MS. BROOKS, YOU ALSO, IS THERE ANY OTHER INTERESTED PARTY IN ATTENDANCE WHO'D LIKE TO BE HEARD ON THIS MATTER, EITHER IN FAVOR OR IN OPPOSITION OF THIS PARTICULAR AGENDA? ITEM? AGAIN, I SAY AGAIN, IS THERE ANY OTHER INTERESTED PARTY WHO WOULD LIKE TO YOU TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR AGAINST THIS PARTICULAR AGENDA ITEM? HEARING AND SEEING NONE WILL TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY AT 7 23, UH, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING COMMISSIONERS.

UH, ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION REGARDING THIS AGENDA ITEM? MS. BROOKS PROBABLY ASKING THE SAME QUESTION, BUT I WOULD, UM, ASK STAFF FOR FEEDBACK OR RECOMMENDATION ON HOW TO CORRECT THE TYPE OF FENCING IF WE WANNA LEAVE IT OPEN AND FLEXIBLE FOR THE APPLICANT.

WE JUST RECOMMEND IF, IF YOU'RE DESIRING THEM TO APPROVE A MOTION TO APPROVE, UM, WITH THE, UM, AMENDING OF THE FENCE ON THE SOUTH SIDE FROM MASONRY TO WOOD.

OR TELL ME SHE ASKED FOR A WOOD TENT.

SO WE, WE'D EITHER DO WOOD OR VINYL.

I'M NOT SURE.

THEY GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO ESTABLISH WHAT YOU WANT.

WOOD, WOOD FENCES.

SO IF, IF THEY, IF YOU WANT TO SUPPORT WOOD, IF YOU WANT TO DO, UM, THE, THE METAL CYCLONE FENCE, IT'S YOUR CHOICE.

ALRIGHT COMMISSIONERS.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION, MS. AZI, I KNOW WE RECEIVED ONE LETTER IN FAVOR OF THE ZONING.

HOW MANY LETTERS DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY LETTERS WENT OUT WITHIN THAT 200 FOOT RADIUS? I HAVE MY REPORT.

JUST GIVE ME A SECOND PLEASE.

WE DID MAIL OUT.

14.

14? YES.

ALRIGHT, COMMISSIONERS, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, FURTHER DISCUSSION? YES.

CAN WE, UH, I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT HOW THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS ARE LEADING RELATIVE TO THE MATERIAL THAT SHOULD BE FOR THE FENCE VERSUS WOOD OR VINYL.

UM, SO BASICALLY YOU'RE TAKING A STRAW POLL? YES.

ALRIGHT, MR. BASIC BILL, UM, WHAT'S YOUR LE UH, I DON'T HAVE A PREFERENCE.

I DON'T THINK IT MATTERS MUCH.

MR. BELL HAS NO PREFERENCE.

MS. CAESAR, I TAKE THE SAME POSITION.

MINE IS THE SAME POSITION.

UH, WHAT'S COMFORTABLE FOR THE, UH, BUILDER, FOR THE DEVELOPER? OKAY, MR. REVENUE DOESN'T MATTER.

I'M THE SAME MS. BROOKS, I WOULD REALLY, SINCE IT WAS REQUESTED BY THE COUNCIL MEMBER, I WOULD BE LEANING TO SAYING A SCREENING WALL THAT'S APPRO THAT'S ACCEPTABLE TO THE COUNCIL MEMBER WHO RE RECOMMENDED IT.

EXCUSE ME.

I THINK THE COUNCIL MEMBER RECOMMENDED WOULD IS I WANNA MAKE SURE WE GET THAT ON RECORD.

WHAT? AND NOT SCREENING FOR THE, THE PORTION BETWEEN THE CHURCH AND THE BUILDING.

YEAH, BUT I'M NOT AWARE OF THAT.

I MEAN, I'VE HEARD THAT, BUT WHEN IT GOES TO COUNCIL, THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY CHOOSE TO DO, RIGHT? OR WOULD WE BE, WOULD WE HAVE IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT.

I GUESS THAT'S MY CONCERN.

IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT.

WE'RE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION BASED ON NOTHING MORE THAN WHAT WAS RECOMMENDED BY THE COUNCIL MEMBER WHO WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM ON HER RECOMMENDATION.

SO, CORRECT.

MR. SHELL.

UH, I'M INCLINED TO TAKE THE APPLICANT AT THEIR REPRESENTATION OF THE CONVERSATION AND MOVE IT FORWARD TO COUNCIL.

THEY, THEY ALWAYS HAVE THE OPTION AT COUNCIL OF MAKING A CHANGE.

THIS IS JUST OUR RECOMMENDATION.

SO I'M INCLINED TO, UM, ACCEPT THE APPLICANT AT, AT HIS WORD THAT THEY DISCUSSED A WOOD FENCE.

AND I'M SUPPORTIVE OF MAKING THAT CHANGE NOW, UM, WITH THE RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL AND THEN WE'LL LET THE, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER, UH, REPRESENT HER DISCUSSION, UH, IF SHE DISAGREES WITH, WITH THAT UNDERSTANDING.

BUT I HAVE NO REASON TO DOUBT THE APPLICANT, SO I'M SUPPORTIVE.

WOMAN'S RAPHAEL'S REQUEST OF WOODS FINE WITH ME.

THANK YOU MA'AM.

AND MR. GER AS A PROUD OWNER OF VINYL FENCING, I PREFER THAT.

HOWEVER, I WILL, UH, THANK YOU FOR THAT PLUG.

I'LL, I'LL DEFER TO UH, COUNCIL

[01:00:01]

COMMISSIONERS AND MRM SMITH? YES SIR.

CHAIRMAN BESTER, I'VE BEEN TALKING, UH, THE C ONE ZONING DISTRICT DOESN'T REQUIRE A SCREEN WALL THERE ANYWAY.

UM, SO MAKING THAT A REQUIREMENT OR NOT A REQUIREMENT OF THE PD DOESN'T REALLY DO MUCH.

THE ONLY REASON IT WOULD BECOME INTEGRATED INTO THE PD IS BECAUSE IT'S ON THE SITE PLAN.

TYPICALLY THOSE SITE PLANS ARE INCORPORATED INTO THE PD.

ALL THAT WOULD REALLY NEED TO HAPPEN IS, UM, UPDATE THE SITE PLAN TO REFLECT EITHER WOODEN OR MASONRY.

IT JUST SAYS MASONRY RIGHT NOW.

THE SITE PLAN DOES, SO THAT WOULD TO BE IN SUBSTANTIAL COMPLIANCE WITH THE SITE PLAN.

THEY'D PROBABLY HAVE TO THROW UP A MASONRY FENCE.

BUT IF IT WAS DISCUSSED AND COUNCIL'S OKAY WITH WOOD OR VINYL OR WHATEVER, THEN THEY JUST NEED TO UPDATE THE SITE PLAN TO BE INCORPORATED INTO THE ORDINANCE LIKE THAT, IF THAT HELPS IN Y'ALL'S THINKING.

ALRIGHT, COMMISSIONERS, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR ARE WE READY FOR A MOTION? OKAY, HEARING IS SIN.

NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

SO COMMENTARY, IS THERE A MOTION WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGENDA? ITEM CASE NUMBER Z DASH 1512 DASH 23.

IS THERE A MOTION BY CHERYL? NO.

I'LL TRY TO BRING THIS MOTION.

I'D LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT WE APPROVE CASE NUMBER Z 1 15 12 DASH 23 WITH THE RECOMMENDATION THAT THE SITE PLAN BE CHANGED TO, TO, UH, INDICATE WHAT FENCE OVER MERY FENCE IS.

THERE A SECOND.

SECOND.

THE MOTION HAS BEEN PROPERLY MADE BY VICE CHAIR REV.

NOW SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BELL.

IS THERE ANY UNREADINESS HEARING AND SEEING NONE? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND SAY AYE.

F THREE AND IT IS CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL REGARDING THE 2024 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS REQUIRED BY THE CITY OF DESOTOS HOME RULE CHARTER ARTICLE 10 PLANNING SECTION TWO MSM.

THOSE OPPOSED TO SAY NAY.

IT APPEARS THE AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE WILL NOW MOVE ON, UH, TO THE LAST PUBLIC HEARING.

LAST PUBLIC HEARING IS ITEM NUMBER

[3. Conduct a Public Hearing and consider making a recommendation to the City Council regarding the 2024 Comprehensive Plan as required by the City of DeSoto’s Home Rule Charter, Article X, Planning, Section 2]

MAY WE HAVE OUR STAFF REPORT PLEASE? YES.

TO START WITH, I'M GONNA JUST, UM, GIVE A SUMMARY BEFORE OUR CONSULTANT COMES TO GIVE A PRESENTATION TONIGHT.

WHAT IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? A COM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS A LONG RANGE PLANNING TOOL AND DOCUMENT THAT ESTABLISHES A LONG TERM VISION FOR THE COMMUNITY.

IT GUIDES THE CITY COUNCIL APPOINTED OFFICIALS AND STAFFING DECISION MAKING RELATED TO LAND USE, HOUSING, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TRANSPORTATION, STREET SCAPE, AND URBAN DESIGN.

IT IS A UNIFIED VISION OF WHAT THE CITY CAN BECOME.

IN 2015, THE CITY OF DESOTO ADOPTED THE 2015 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH UPDATED THE 2003 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND NATIONAL PLANNING STANDARDS RECOMMEND THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PLANS BE UPDATED EVERY 10 YEARS.

THE CURRENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE ALIGN WITH 10 YEAR UPDATING PERIOD WHILE FULFILLING THE CITY FINANCIAL YEAR 2023 CORE GOAL NUMBER THREE.

THIS IS THE STRATEGIC, UH, 2023 CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC GROWTH.

UH, TO UPDATE THE, UM, COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING.

THAT IS SCORE NUMBER THREE TO DO THE TASK.

THE CITY COUNCIL CONTRACTED WITH, UH, AECOM IN MAY, 2022 TO UPDATE THE 2015 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SINCE SUMMER OF 2022, AECOM HAS WORKED WITH THE CITY COUNCIL, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, THE DISORDER DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION, THE STEERING COMMITTEE, THE CITY STAFF, AND THE DISORDER RESIDENTS TO DEVELOP THE 2024 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

AECOM SIX MEETINGS WITH THE STEERING COMMITTEE.

THREE INPUT SESSIONS, THREE PUBLIC INPUT SESSIONS, THREE ONLINE SURVEYS, ONE OPEN HOUSE AND SIX CITY COUNCIL PLANNING AND ZONING AND DISORDER DEVELOPMENT JOINT MEETING SESSIONS.

THE CITY OF OTTO HAS A HOME RULE CHARTER AND IN ARTICLE 10, SECTION TWO, THAT SECTION RE REQUIRES THE COMMISSION TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL, APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE

[01:05:01]

OF CHANGES TO THE ZONING PLAN, MASTER PLAN, AND MASTER THERAPY PLAN.

THE 2024 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE IS THE CITY'S MASTER PLAN THAT REQUIRES THE COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL DISAPPROVAL.

AND ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 26TH, 2023, A NOTICE FOR THIS PUBLIC HEARING WAS PUBLISHED IN DAILY FOCUS NEWSPAPER.

AND AS OF DECEMBER 7TH, 2023, NO LETTERS WERE RECEIVED IN FAVOR OR IN OPPOSITION TO THIS DISORDERS.

24 20 24 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAKING A PRESENTATION TONIGHT IS A E-COM AND STAFF WILL RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THAT.

THE COMMISSION MAKE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE 2024 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

AND AS I SAID, AGAIN, THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WILL NOT HAVE TWO CHAPTERS.

THAT IS THE STREETSCAPE, UH, PLAN, UH, CHAPTER AS WELL AS THE URBAN DESIGN AND THE URBAN DESIGN.

AND THOSE ARE, THE STREETSCAPE WILL BE ADDED TO THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN THE SPRING OF 2024.

AND THE REASON FOR THE E DESIGN, ESPECIALLY CHAPTER TO BE ADDED LATER, IS THAT, UH, WE WANT IT TO BE, UM, UH, COMPATIBLE WITH WHAT IS GOING TO BE FINALIZED WITH THE HAMPTON PROJECT.

THERE ARE SOME ELEMENTS THAT THE CITY BELIEVES CAN BE ADDED TO OTHER SECTIONS OF THE CITY ONCE THAT PLAN IS ADOPTED.

AND THE STREETSCAPE PLAN NEEDS TO BE SOME CHANGES TO BE MADE TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR, OUR TRANSPORTATION CHAPTER AS WELL AS THE STREET SCAPE PLANS, THEY'RE IN SYNC.

SO THERE ARE SOME CROSS, CROSS SECTION, UH, CHANGES THAT NEEDS TO BE MADE TO THE STREET SCAPE PLAN CHAPTER BEFORE IT CAN BE ADDED TO THE, UH, UH, 2024 PLANNED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO RIGHT NOW I DO HAVE, UH, THE, UH, ECOM CONSULTANT WITH US.

THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE A PRESENTATION TO THE CITY, TO THE COMMISSIONERS.

UNLESS YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR ME, I WILL TAKE MY SEAT AND, UM, CECILIA FROM ME, ECOM WILL COME AND DO THE PRESENTATION.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

COME ON UP AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

UH, GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.

OH YEAH, I'M TALKING TO YOU.

YEAH, SORRY, .

UM, I AM A LITTLE SAD THAT WE GOT NO LETTERS OF, OF MASSIVE APPROVAL UM, WE DID TOUCH ABOUT OVER A THOUSAND COMMUNITY RESIDENTS OVER THE YEAR, UM, BUT WE ARE HERE TODAY TO PROVIDE YOU AN UPDATE, UM, FROM THE LAST TIME I PRESENTED WITH A JOINT COUNSEL IN OCTOBER.

UM, WE HAVE, WE HEARD YOUR CONCERNS REGARDING, UM, THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CHAPTER SEVEN AND EIGHT.

THE TRANSPORTATION IS STREETSCAPE.

AS BESTER HAD MENTIONED.

UM, THERE WAS A THIRD PARTY, UH, ANALYSIS TO SEE IF OF THOSE DIFFERENCES.

UM, THE OUTCOME WAS THAT THERE WAS, UM, SOME, UM, UH, UM, SOME CHANGES THAT NEEDED TO HAPPEN WITHIN THE STREETSCAPE TO BE ABLE TO, ONE, ALIGN WITHIN, UM, WHAT WAS BEING SAID AND THEN TO UPDATE THE STREET, THE SECTIONS SO THAT IT'S REFLECTIVE OF WHAT WAS, UM, IN THE TRANSPORTATION CHAPTER.

UM, AND BECAUSE OF THAT, WHAT IS IN THE PRE-FINAL, OR WHAT I'M CALLING PRE-FINAL, BUT REALLY IT'S A DRAFT, A REVISED VERSION OF THAT OCTOBER, UM, PRESENTATION THAT I GAVE, UM, DOES NOT HAVE THOSE TWO CHAPTERS IN IT.

UM, SO TODAY IS REALLY KIND OF GOING OVER, UM, ALL THE CHAPTERS.

ONCE AGAIN, UM, I'LL GIVE A HIGHLIGHT OVER THE BIG, UM, MAJOR KIND OF TAKEAWAYS.

PLEASE NOTE THAT EVERY, UM, CHAPTER, UM, YOU KNOW, THIS IS DOUBLE, THIS IS NOT DOUBLE-SIDED.

SORRY, I WASTED MORE PAPER THAN I INTENDED.

UM, BUT SO THIS IS AN UPDATED REPORT.

SO WHAT MY SLIDES ARE ONLY A REPRESENTATION OF KIND OF A SNAPSHOT OF EVERY CHAPTER THAT IS IN THE REPORT, WHICH, UM, I BELIEVE BESTER HAD SENT THE LINK OUT.

UM, AND THEN, UM, I WILL BE HIGHLIGHTING WHAT WERE THE MAJOR CHANGES THAT OCCURRED FROM THAT OCTOBER PRESENTATION THAT I GAVE.

UM, SO TO START US OFF, UM, THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, UM, IT STARTED REALLY FALL OF 2022.

UM, WE TOUCHED OVER, UM, A THOUSAND RESIDENTS, UM, FROM BEGINNING TO END.

WE DID, UM, HOST FOUR PUBLIC MEETINGS, UM, HERE IN THIS ROOM OR IN THE, UM, ATRIUM.

AND NOW WHERE WE'RE AT IS TO A POINT WHERE WE FEEL WE HAVE A, UM, PRETTY WELL REFINED, UM, UPDATED PRE, UH, PLAN THAT WE WOULD LIKE FOR YOUR APPROVAL SO THAT WE CAN GO TO CITY COUNCIL, UM, EARLY JANUARY.

UM, THE UPDATED PLAN HAS EIGHT MAJOR CHAPTERS.

UM, THE FIRST, THE PRESENTATION THAT I'M GONNA BE GIVING YOU TONIGHT, UM, IS REALLY KIND OF HIGHLIGHTING THE MAJOR TAKEAWAYS FROM EACH OF THE EIGHT CHAPTERS.

UM, AND REALLY THE FIRST CHAPTER IS JUST INTRODUCTION.

YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHY

[01:10:01]

ARE WE HERE? WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? THE SECOND ONE IS A COMMUNITY SNAPSHOT.

UM, THE THIRD IS THE VISION.

FOURTH IS THE FUTURE LAND USE.

CHAPTER FIVE IS HOUSING IN NEIGHBORHOODS.

SIX IS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, SEVEN IS TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILITY, AND EIGHT, WHICH IS THE CRUX OF IT.

THE IMPLEMENTATION IS REALLY KIND OF OUTLINING HOW DO WE IMPLEMENT ALL THE GOALS AND THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE, UM, IDENTIFIED IN EACH OF THE CHAPTERS.

UM, SO LIKE BESTER MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THE POINT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? UM, IT'S REALLY AN ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR ELECTED, UM, AND OPINION OFFICIALS TO MAKE DECISIONS RELATED TO LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY.

UM, AND THEN THROUGHOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, UM, CITY COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WAS INTEGRATED IN ALL OF THE STEPS SO THAT, UM, IT COULD BE A TRUE REFLECTION OF WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS TO SEE FOR THE FUTURE OF DESOTO.

UM, THE FIRST INTRODUCTION ALSO, WHICH IS A BIG DIFFERENCE FROM THE ORIGINAL, UH, REPORT THAT I CAME IN OCTOBER, IS WE DID BEEF UP THE INTRODUCTION TO REALLY HAVE, UM, MAJOR TAKEAWAYS FROM EACH OF THOSE TOUCH POINTS WITH THE, THE COMMUNITY.

UM, WE INCLUDED A LOT MORE PICTURES AND REALLY KIND OF JUST, UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, KIND OF STICKY DOTS, YOU KNOW, LIVE, UM, FEEDBACK FROM WHAT WE COLLECTED FROM THE RESIDENTS.

UM, LIKE I MENTIONED, WE DID TOUCH OVER A THOUSAND RESIDENTS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS.

UM, AND WE HAD, UH, FOUR JOINT, FOUR JOINT SESSIONS.

UM, THREE WERE IN PERSON AND ONE WAS VIRTUAL.

UM, AND THE LAST OPEN HOUSE PUBLIC MEETING THAT WE HAD WAS OCTOBER 26TH, UM, IN WHICH WE ALSO HOSTED, UM, AN ONLINE SURVEY AND HELD THAT OPEN FOR OVER A MONTH TO BE ABLE TO COLLECT, UM, FEEDBACK.

CHAPTER TWO, UM, IS A COMMUNITY SNAPSHOT.

AND REALLY THIS GIVES, UM, AN OVERVIEW OF THE EXISTING CONDITIONS OF WHERE DESOTO IS AT.

UM, YOU KNOW, I, WE UPDATED AND REFINED THE PROJECTION OF POPULATION THAT WE WILL NEED TO BE ADDRESSING IN THE FUTURE.

UM, AND ALSO KIND OF HIGHLIGHTING, YOU KNOW, WHAT DOES THE MARKET TELLING US THAT THE CITY CAN BE LOOKING INTO TO BE ABLE TO MAXIMIZE ECONOMIC GROWTH.

UM, WITHIN CHAPTER TWO, OH, SORRY, I WENT BACK TOO FAST.

WITHIN CHAPTER TWO, WE ALSO, UM, INCLUDED THE EXISTING LAND USE AND EXISTING ZONING.

UM, ON THE LEFT IS THE EXISTING LAND USE, AND ON THE RIGHT IS THE CURRENT ZONING, AS YOU CAN TELL ON THE EXISTING LAND USE.

THE PREDOMINANT LAND USE IS, YOU KNOW, SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES.

UM, AND THE ONE THING THAT I WANTED TO KIND OF NOTICE IS THAT YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF THE PLAN WHEN YOU COMPARE THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT.

ON THE RIGHT IS THE CURRENT ZONING OF DESOTO.

THE GRAY GREEN COLOR ON THE MAP REPRESENTS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

IF YOU COMPARE THE EXISTING LAND USE WITH THE CURRENT ZONING, YOU'LL SEE THAT A LOT OF PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS ARE ACTUALLY CURRENTLY RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY AREAS OF THE CITY.

UM, AND THIS IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE, BECAUSE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS ACTUALLY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL STEPS FOR DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL PROCESS, WHICH ARE OFTEN SEEN AS BARRIERS WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO, UM, LOOK AT, UM, UM, INVESTING NEW HOUSING OPTIONS IN CITIES.

CHAPTER THREE, UM, IS THE DESOTO VISION.

UM, AND THIS WAS, UM, AN ITERATION THAT WENT THROUGH, UM, WORKING WITH THE STEERING COMMITTEE, WORKING WITH CITY STAFF, AND THEN WORKING WITH COUNCIL, UM, AND THE JOINT SESSIONS TO REALLY REFINE IT, UM, TO BE A TRUE REFLECTION.

UH, WITHIN CHAPTER THREE, ALSO, IT SETS THE STAGE IN TERMS OF HOW EACH OF THE CHAPTERS THAT ARE RECOMMENDING, UM, RECOMMENDATIONS ARE, ARE LAID OUT.

EVERY CHAPTER WILL HAVE SPECIFIC GOALS UNDER THEIR GOALS OR RECOMMENDATIONS.

AND THEN UNDER THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE STRATEGIES.

NOW, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RECOMMENDATION IS STRATEGY IS THAT A STRATEGY, UM, EXPANDS ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND PROVIDES MORE, UM, DETAILED DIRECTION ON HOW TO IMPLEMENT THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

UM, AND A STRATEGY CAN BE MUCH MORE, UM, UH, LARGER WHERE YOU CAN HAVE ACTUALLY THREE, YOU KNOW, ONE STRATEGY CAN BE, UM, CAN ADDRESS MULTIPLE GOAL, MULTIPLE RECOMMENDATIONS.

UM, AND THAT'S HOW KIND OF THE FRAMEWORK OF EACH OF THE CHAPTERS AS WE'RE RECOMMENDING.

UM, UH, RECOMMENDATIONS.

UM, CHAPTER FOUR IS THE FUTURE LAND JUICE.

UM, AND AS YOU CAN SEE, UM, OH YES, I'M SORRY, I FLIPPED MY PAGE TOO FAST.

UM, UH, SLIDE THIS SLIDE HERE IS FOR CHAPTER FOUR, THE FUTURE LAND JUICE.

UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE THREE MAIN GOALS WITHIN THE FUTURE LAND USE.

GOAL ONE IS TO ACHIEVE GREATER COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN LAND USES TO ENHANCE, PROTECT, AND COMPLEMENT RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND NATURAL SPACES AND RESOURCES.

ONE THING THAT WE, I DO WANNA HIGHLIGHT IS, UM,

[01:15:01]

ONE OF THE CHANGES THAT WE'VE DONE IS THE, UM, ORDERING OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN REARRANGED BASED ON VOTING THAT WE TOOK FROM THE PUBLIC MEETING AS WELL AS A SURVEY.

AND SO THE ORDERING OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS, UM, WAS BASED ON, THE QUESTION WAS, OF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS UNDER GOAL ONE, WHICH ONE DO YOU FEEL WOULD PROMOTE THE MOST CHANGE THAT YOU WANNA SEE IN DESOTO? UM, SO THE ORDERING OF THE RECOMMENDATION IS JUST KIND OF THE, THE FAVORITISM OF THE COMMUNITY.

WE WILL SAY THEY'RE ALL IMPORTANT.

UM, BUT THAT WAS ONE THING THAT WAS ASKED OF ME WHEN I CAME IN OCTOBER WAS, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHY IS ONE, ONE VERSUS SIX? THEY'RE ALL IMPORTANT.

UM, IT'S JUST RECOMMENDATION ONE WAS PROBABLY FAVORED IN THE COMMUNITY'S EYES AS IT COULD BE THE BRING THE MOST CHANGE THAT THEY WANNA SEE.

UM, AND I'M NOT GONNA READ EACH OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS, BUT I JUST KIND OF WANNA KIND OF HIGHLIGHT, YOU KNOW, FOR GOAL ONE, THERE ARE FOUR RE UM, THERE ARE FOUR, WAIT, FOUR, NO, THERE'S SIX.

YES, I'M SORRY.

UM, THERE ARE SIX, UH, RECOMMENDATIONS.

THE FIRST IS TO REVIEW, UM, THE ZONING REGULATIONS.

SECOND IS TO ENGAGE WITH BUSINESSES AND UNDERSTAND HOUSING TYPES AND AMENITIES NEEDED IN DESOTO TO STREAM, UM, TO TRACK RETAIN EMPLOYEE CUSTOMERS, STREAMLINE DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES BY REZONING APPROPRIATE AREAS THAT ARE CURRENTLY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO RESIDENTIAL, UM, SUPPORT, CONTINUAL SUPPORT OF THE HAMPTON ROAD CORRIDOR PLAN THAT IS CURRENTLY HAPPENING WITHIN THE CITY.

UM, CODIFYING THE HAMPTON ROAD CHARACTER CODE, AND THEN BRINGING THAT INTO THE URBAN DESIGN ELEMENT THAT WILL BE AN UPDATED OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, ESTABLISH NEW ZONING DISTRICTS AND DESIGN STANDARDS TO SUPPORT WALKABILITY AND ACTIVE LIFESTYLE.

UM, GOAL THREE IS TO PROTECT AND CONNECT, OH, SORRY, GOAL TWO, I JUST SKIPPED GOAL TWO.

GOAL TWO IS TO ACHIEVE GREATER COMP COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN LAND USES TO ENHANCE, PROTECT, AND COMPLEMENT RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND NATURAL SPACES.

AND WE CAN DO THAT WITHIN FOUR MAIN RECOMMENDATIONS.

FIRST, TO UPDATE THE ZONING MAP TO COME TO AVOID, UM, OR LIMIT CONFLICT UPDATE PERMITTED, UH, USES IN THE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS.

UM, THE THIRD IS TO UPDATE ZONING REGULATIONS TO SUPPORT DESIRED DEVELOPMENT, TO CAPTURE MARKET DEMAND.

AND, UM, THE FOURTH RECOMMENDATION IS TO CREATE CLEAR GUIDANCE TO COHESIVE, TO CREATE COHESION BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL AND NON-RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

AND THEN THE THIRD GOAL WITHIN THE FUTURE LAND USE, UM, CHAPTER IS TO PROTECT AND CONNECT RESIDENTS IN NATURAL AREAS AND FEATURES OF DESOTO.

AND THERE WERE SIX MAIN RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE OUTLINED.

THE FIRST IS TO DEVELOP LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

SECOND IS TO PRESERVE THE NATURAL AMENITIES THAT ARE CURRENTLY HAVE, HAVE THAT THE CITY CURRENTLY HAS.

THE THIRD IS TO SUPPORT THE 2020 PARKS MASTER PLAN THAT WAS, UM, UH, ADOPTED.

THE FOURTH IS TO ENHANCE THE NATURAL ACCESS.

FIFTH IS TO CONSIDER, UM, A REPARATION BUFFER OVERLAY IN THE CITY'S CODES OF ORDINANCE.

AND SIX IS TO MAINTAIN LANDSCAPE BUFFERING TREES AND OTHER GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE ALONG THE ROADWAY.

UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, UM, ON THIS SLIDE, SLIDE 10, UM, THIS IS THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

UM, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE ARE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 MAIN, UM, DIFFERENCES OR CATEGORIES.

ONE IS LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, WHICH IS INTENDED TO PRESERVE THE CHARACTER OF ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

MEDIUM DENSITY, WHICH, UM, IS RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORS SERVES TO BUFFER, UM, BETWEEN LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND THE HIGHER, MORE MIXED USE AREAS.

AND THEN YOU GO INTO THE HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO LOCATE AND SUPPORT COMMERCIAL USES AND PROVIDE HOUSING AT THE SAME TIME.

NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USES, UM, IS TO PROVIDE LOCAL GOODS AND SERVICES TO SUPPORT NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND THEN, UM, THE DESTINATION MIXED USE IS TO CREATE ACTIVITY CENTERS, UM, THAT PROMOTE RESIDENTIAL SHOPPING, UM, DINING AND OFFICE AND AMENITIES.

AND THEN YOU HAVE INDUSTRIAL, UM, LAND USE OR INDUSTRIAL AREAS, WHICH IS TO SUPPORT LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES AND LIMIT CONFLICT WITH RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

THE NEXT SLIDE, SLIDE 11, IS FOR HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOOD.

UM, AND THIS, UM, AGAIN, THE, THE GOALS MIGHT HAVE, UM, THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE REORDERED.

THE GOALS WERE ALSO ORDERED BASED ON WHAT THE COMMUNITY THOUGHT WAS MOST EXCITING THAT COULD BRING CHANGE.

UM, OVERALL, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE FOUR GOALS WITHIN THE HOUSING.

WITHIN GOAL ONE, THERE WAS THREE RECOMMENDATIONS.

UH, THE FIRST ONE BEING TO INTEGRATE GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE INTO NEW AND EX EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS.

THE SECOND IS TO EXPLORE OPPORTUNITIES TO CREATE PUBLIC AND SEMI-PUBLIC PARKS.

AND THE THIRD IS TO ESTABLISH SIDEWALKS AND MULTI-USE PATHS IN STRATEGIC AREAS THAT CONNECT, UM, THE, THE RIGHT NEIGHBORHOODS.

UM, GOAL TOO IS TO PRESERVE AND MAINTAIN

[01:20:01]

THE EXISTING HOUSING STOCK THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.

AND REALLY IT'S TO BE ABLE TO REPAIR AND MAINTAIN THE EXISTING HOUSING SUPPLY.

GOAL THREE IS TO ENCOURAGE NEW HIGH QUALITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TO SUPPORT NEW AND ESTABLISHED RESIDENTS HOUSING NEEDS.

AND REALLY WE SAW THAT IS TO EXPAND, UM, THE CITY'S LIFECYCLE HOUSING OPTIONS TO ACCOMMODATE ALL RESIDENTIAL, UM, MEMBERS, UH, NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE IN THEIR KIND OF LIFESPAN.

UM, AND THEN SEC.

THE SECOND IS TO REDUCE BARRIERS TO BUYING A HOME WITHIN THE CITY.

UM, AND THEN GOAL FOUR IS TO TARGET RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND STRATEGIC AREAS OF THE COMMUNITY THAT LEVERAGE ACCESS TO THE CITY'S GROWING ACTIVITIES CENTERS.

AND REALLY WE SAW THAT WAS BY, UM, EXPANDING THE STRATEGIC RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS, UM, AND THEN PER, UM, ALLOWING PERMIT OF GREATER VARIETY OF HOUSING TYPES WITHIN TRANSITIONAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

SO REALLY JUST BEING STRATEGIC AND, AND INTENTIONAL IN WHERE MORE HOUSING OPTIONS SHOULD BE, UM, ALLOWED WITHIN THE CITY.

THIS, UM, MAP HERE, UM, THAT IS ON MY SLIDE 12, UM, SHOWS A RESIDENTIAL FRAMEWORK PLAN.

AND REALLY THIS OUTLINES OF THE FIVE DIFFERENT, UM, AREAS THAT I WENT OVER WHERE WE'RE RECOMMENDING THESE, UM, NEIGHBORHOODS TO OCCUR, WHETHER IT BE, YOU KNOW, CREATE, YOU KNOW, PRESERVING THE NATURAL TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOODS TO WHERE WE SHOULD CREATE MORE, UM, NEIGHBORHOOD NODES.

UM, AND THEY ARE OUTLINED IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHERE, AND, AND WHAT TYPE OF ACTIVITY WOULD BE OCCURRING WITHIN THOSE, UM, AREAS.

UM, THE NEXT SLIDE, UM, WHICH IS PROBABLY HARD TO READ, BUT IN THE REPORT IS REALLY THE WANTING TO TAKE A MOMENT TO OUTLINE THE SPECIFIC STRATEGIES THAT WE INCLUDED FOR THE HOUSING CHAPTER.

UM, AND REALLY IT'S TO BE ABLE TO ALIGN THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP OR THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN, SUCH AS AREAS WITHIN THE TRANSITIONAL NEIGHBORHOODS TO PROMOTE A GREATER DIVERSITY OF HOUSING OPTIONS.

UM, SO REALLY CONSIDERING EXAMINING THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE TO REQUIRE A MINIMUM RANGE OF HOUSING TYPES AND NEW NEIGHBORHOODS, FOR EXAMPLE, REQUIRING A MINIMUM OF 20% NEW DWELLING UNITS TO BE DUPLEX OR TOWN HOMES, UM, IN A NEW SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENT, WOULD HELP ENSURE THAT DEVELOPERS DO NOT EXCLUSIVELY CONSTRUCT SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES AND COULD PROVIDE GREATER HOUSING CHOICES TO, UM, PROSPECTIVE TENANTS.

UM, THE EXISTING CONDITIONS ALSO FOUND THAT THERE'S A CURRENT NEED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING WITHIN THE CITY, UM, AT A VARIETY OF PRICE POINTS FOR CURRENT RESIDENTS.

AND THIS NEED IS GOING TO CONTINUE WITHIN THE FUTURE.

SO TO MEET THIS NEED, UM, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND TO INCREASE OVERALL HOUSING STOCK, UM, AND ALLOWING FOR LIFECYCLE HOUSING IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT THIS SUPPORT WIDER RANGE OF SMALLER SCALED AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPTIONS FOR RESIDENTS.

UM, THE TERM LIFECYCLE HOUSING IS A TERM THAT'S USED TO DESCRIBE A DIVERSE RANGE OF HOUSING TYPES INTENDED TO SUPPORT DIFFERENT STAGES OF LIFE FOR FAMILIES, UM, AND INDIVIDUALS.

FOR EXAMPLE, A RECENT COLLEGE GRADUATE HOUSING WILL BE DIFFERENT, WILL BE IN NEED OF A DIFFERENT HOUSING TYPE AND A DIFFERENT PRICE POINT THAN A YOUNG FAMILY OF THREE, UM, WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN A RETIRED COUPLE, UM, WITH NO CHILDREN.

BY INCREASING THE DESOTOS, UM, HOUSING SUPPLY THROUGH A VARIETY OF SMALLER STRATEGIES AND LOOKING AT SMALLER, LOTS MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING, UM, EXISTING RESIDENTS CAN CONTINUE TO MEET THEIR EVOLVING HOUSING NEEDS, UM, WHILE MAKING SPACE FOR NEW FAMILIES TO COME INTO THE CITY.

UM, AND HOUSING OPTIONS OR LIFECYCLE HOUSING INCLUDES A RANGE OF HOUSINGS FROM DUPLEX TOWN HOMES, TRIPLEX, UM, FOURPLEX, UM, AND, UM, COTTAGE COURTS.

UM, AND SO THIS IS ONE THAT WE REALLY, UM, ADDED MORE INTO THE HOUSING CHAPTER FROM THE LAST, UM, VERSION THAT WE BROUGHT TO Y'ALL.

THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER, UM, HAS THIS, UM, THREE GOAL, UH, FOUR GOALS, UM, AND HAVE THE FOUR GOALS.

EACH OF 'EM HAVE A SERIES OF RECOMMENDATIONS, UM, AND OUTLINES HOW WE CAN BRING, UM, AND PROMOTE EXPANSION OF BUSINESSES, UM, WHILE PAYING EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR DESO RESIDENTS.

UM, AS GOAL TOO IS TO MAXIMIZE THE VALUE OF THE CITY'S EXISTING INDUSTRIAL AREAS BY ATTRACTING MORE DIVERSE NON LOGISTICAL BUSINESSES.

UM, AND THEN GOAL THREE IS TO BROADEN AND DIVERSIFY THE TAX BASE IN DESOTO TO EMPHASIZE TARGETED INCREASE IN DENSITY AND COMMERCIAL USES THAT WILL DRIVE MORE SUSTAINABLE, UM, REVENUE PER ACREAGE, UM, YIELDS.

UM, ONE THING THAT WE WANTED TO BRING INTO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER WAS REALLY BRINGING TO THE FOREFRONT THE NEED TO BE ABLE TO BRING MORE TAX ABILITY

[01:25:01]

AND REVENUE TO THE CITY.

UM, SOME OF THE MAJOR COSTS FOR A CITY IS THIS INFRASTRUCTURE AND ITS SERVICES THAT IT PROVIDES TO ITS COMMUNITIES.

AND AS TIME PROGRESSES, MAINTENANCE TO THIS INFRASTRUCTURE JUST GOES HIGHER.

UM, SO REALLY IT'S, YOU KNOW, THE CITY IS POSED WITH TWO QUESTIONS, YOU KNOW, HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO, IN ORDER TO, UM, MAINTAIN ITS EXISTING TAX RATE, THERE'S ONLY REALLY TWO OPPORTUNITIES TO GROW THE CITY'S POT OF FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN ITS CURRENT INFRASTRUCTURE AND ACCOMMODATE THE NEW AMENITIES THE COMMUNITIES WOULD LIKE TO SEE.

UM, SO REALLY THE TWO OPPORTUNITIES THERE ARE INCREASE THE NUMBER OF TAXPAYERS, UM, THAT PAY PROPERTY TAXES, WHICH REQUIRES MORE BUILDINGS, UM, MORE AND MORE DWELLING UNITS.

AND THE SECOND OPPORTUNITY IS TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF TAXES THAT ARE PAID PER ACRE, UH, WHICH IS DONE BY CHANGING THE LOUD DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE LAND WITH STRATEGIC AREAS.

UM, SO FOR INSTANCE, REALLY WHAT WE WERE LOOKING INTO WHEN WE WERE DOING THE FUTURE LAND USE WAS BEING ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SURROUNDING CHANGES THAT ARE HAPPENING WITH SOUTHERN DALLAS, THE LOOP NINE, THE INLAND PORT, AND BEING ABLE TO MAXIMIZE THAT.

AND WHERE CAN WE BRING IN MORE, UM, DENSITY WHEN APPROPRIATE AND INCREASE, UM, THE HOUSING DWELLING UNITS.

UM, WITHIN THE ECONOMIC, UH, DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER, WE ALSO BROUGHT IN, UM, THE GRAPHIC THAT SHOWS THE DIFFERENT, UM, TAX BASES, THOUGH ON THE FAR RIGHT, IT'S THE SAME ONE ACRE, UM, PLOT OF LAND.

UM, ON THE TOP LEFT IS FOUR SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES, WHICH BA CREATES A TAX BASE OF, YOU KNOW, MULTIPLICATION OF FOUR.

BUT THE FAR, UH, LOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER, UM, IS A MID-RISE MIXED USE, WHICH OUTLINES, YOU KNOW, UM, IT'S STILL THE SAME ONE ACRE.

IT HAS 42 42 DWELLING UNITS AND SOME TYPE OF COMMERCIAL USE.

AND THAT COULD CREATE A TAX BASE OF 52, A MULTI 52 TIMES.

SO JUST REALLY BRINGING THAT TO THE ATTENTION, UM, IN THE REPORT TO SEE THE DIFFERENT, UM, OPPORTUNITIES WHEN CHANGING THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS.

UH, ALSO WITHIN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WAS, UM, A FRAMEWORK PLAN WHICH OUTLINES THE EIGHT DIFFERENT TYPES OF AREAS.

THE HAMPTON ROAD CORRIDOR, WHICH HAS HAD A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, ENGAGEMENT AND, UM, IS HOPED TO BE, UM, DONE OR ADOPTED IN THE NEAR FUTURE, BUT ALSO OBVIOUSLY, UM, ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF EFFORT THERE.

SO MAKING THAT A FRAMEWORK WITHIN THE PLAN.

UM, AND THEN THE SECOND IS THE HOSPITAL HEALTHCARE DISTRICT, WHICH IS REALLY TO ENHANCE THE MEDICAL AND SUPPORTING HOTEL USES.

UM, THE NORTHERN HAMPTON ROAD MIXED USE CORRIDOR, WHICH IS A TRANSITIONAL AREA TO BUFFER THE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT FROM THE HAMPTON ROAD.

UM, THE I 35, UM, CORRIDOR, WHICH CONSTANT, WHICH IS A CONCENTRATION OF HIGHER DENSITY MIXED USE WITH RETAIL, RESTAURANTS, HOSPITALITY, UM, AND ENTERTAINMENT VENUES.

UM, AND WE ARE SUGGESTING THAT ADDITIONAL PUBLIC INVESTMENT V UM, AND INFRASTRUCTURE IS BROUGHT INTO THIS AREA TO BE ABLE TO POSITION THE CORRIDOR TO ATTRACT, UM, DESIRED DEVELOPMENT TO OCCUR HERE.

AND THEN THE NEW DESTINATION NODES ARE WELL POSITIONED GIVEN THE PLANNED ROADWAY, ALIGNING PROJECTS ALONG KIND OF DUNCANVILLE, PARKVILLE AND DANIELDALE ROAD TO BECOME ACTIVITY HO HUBS.

UM, AND THEN THE LAST TWO ARE BELTLINE MIX USE, WHICH IS A SERIES OF MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT NODES.

UM, AND, UM, THAT SHOULD LEVERAGE THE ENCORE'S RIGHT OF WAY, UM, OPEN SPACE TO ESTABLISH PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS TO ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOODS FOR THE FUTURE EXPANSION, UM, OF TRAIL NETWORKS.

AND THEN LAST IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD NODES, UM, WHICH WILL PROVIDE NEIGHBORHOOD ACCESS TO GOODS AND SERVICES, UM, AND SUPPORTING A SMALLER SCALE OF MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, UM, WITHIN, YEAH.

AND THEN THE SECOND, UH, CHAPTER SEVEN, UH, IS THE TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILITY GOALS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.

UM, WITHIN HERE, THERE WAS TWO GOALS THAT WERE OUTLINED, UM, AND EACH OF THE GOALS HAD GOAL ONE, WHICH IS SUPPORT REGIONAL ACCESS AND IN EFFICIENT MOBILITY TWO, AND THROUGHOUT DESOTO THAT HAD SIX RECOMMENDATIONS OUTLINED WITHIN THAT GOAL.

GOAL TWO IS TO ENCOURAGE A SAFE AND CLEAN MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION NETWORK THAT SUPPORTS COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY AND WALKABILITY, REALLY MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE CREATING A SAFE, UM, AND EFFICIENT MOVEMENT OF VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS AND CYCLISTS, UM, AND IMPROVING THE OVERALL ACCESS TO ALL WITHIN THE CITY.

THE NEXT, UH, SLIDE THAT I'M SHOWING SHOWS EXISTING FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND THE EXISTING, UH, TRANSPORTATION, UH, FRAMEWORK PLAN.

UM, AND THIS REALLY IS JUST TO, UH, FOR THE 2023 UPDATE, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THE THOROUGHFARE HAS BEEN REVISED TO INCLUDE THE PLANNED ROADWAY PROJECTS THAT EXPAND THE ACCESS AND MOBILITY THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.

[01:30:01]

UM, AND THIS, UM, UPDATE ALSO INCLUDES ADDITIONAL PROPOSED COLLECTOR ROADWAYS TO SUPPORT A GREATER ACCESS, UM, TO RESIDENTS WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOODS TO GOOD SERVICES, SORRY, THE EXISTING AND THEN THE TRANSPORTATION FRAMEWORK IS THE PROPOSED.

I MISSPOKE.

UM, AND THEN THE LAST SET OF SERIES OF MAPS WITHIN THE TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILITY CHAPTER IS THE TRANSPORTATION, MOBILITY AND ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION FRAMEWORK.

DID I SAY THAT? TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILITY ACTIVE FRAMEWORK PLAN.

UM, SO THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION FRAMEWORK, WHICH IS THE FAR LEFT, UM, SHOWS THE, UM, INTRODUCES VIABLE AND ACCESSIBLE WAYS TO TRAVEL WITHIN DESOTO, UM, IF THERE WAS A NEED WITHOUT THE, THE NEED FOR A CAR.

SO REALLY WE LOOKED AT, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE THE MOST BEST POSITIONED, UM, ROADS, UM, WHETHER IT BE BECAUSE OF SCHOOL LOCATIONS OR FUTURE, UM, MIXED USE OR HUBS THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO INCLUDE SOME TRAILS AND ENHANCE WHAT IS CURRENTLY THERE, THE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION FRAMEWORK.

UM, ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO PUBLIC, UH, TRANSPORTATION, UM, INTENDED FOR THE FUTURE, WE DID WANNA NOTE THAT, UM, EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES WITHIN THE EXISTING INLAND PORT CONNECTED SERVICE AREA CAN LEVERAGE FREE AND REDUCED TRANSPORTATION, UM, PROVIDED BY THE SOUTHERN DALLAS COUNTY INLAND PORT TRANSPORTATION, UH, MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION.

SO WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE, UM, GREAT TO JUST INCLUDE, THEN ALSO BE, UM, TRANSPARENT IN WHAT, WHAT'S BEING PROVIDED.

AND THEN LAST, UM, BUT NOT LEAST IS THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.

UM, AND THIS REALLY IS TO HELP THE CITY NAVIGATE ITS GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE ADOPTION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

UM, ALTHOUGH THIS IS KIND OF THE, THE END OF THE PROCESS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE, IT'S REALLY, UM, THE FIRST STEPS IN REALLY CREATING, CREATING CHANGE WITHIN DESOTO.

UM, THIS CHAPTER REALLY TRANSLATE THE GOALS, THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND STRATEGIES, UM, WITHIN THE CHAPTERS THAT I, I'VE GONE THROUGH QUICKLY, UM, INTO MORE ACTIONABLE ITEMS. UM, AND IT'S IN A MATRIX THAT DETAILS PRIORITY TIMEFRAME AND POTENTIAL PARTNERS THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED.

UM, AND THEN THIS, UH, IMPLEMENTATION CHAPTER ALSO PROVIDES INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO USE THE PLAN, UM, AND CITY STAFF AND ELECTED OFFICIALS, UM, TO HAVE A ROLE IN MAINTAINING THE PLAN AS WELL, UM, AS WHEN RECOMMENDATIONS ARE BEING EXECUTED.

MR. CHAIR, MAY I INTERRUPT? ABSOLUTELY.

CAN YOU GO BACK? I'M SORRY.

YOU WENT QUITE QUICKLY.

TALK AGAIN ABOUT JUST BEFORE YOU FINISHED, YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS THAT YOU ALL ARE MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS.

COULD YOU GO BACK TO THAT PART FOR ME AGAIN, PLEASE? IF YOU CAN REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID.

Y YES.

SO THE, THE, THE IMPLEMENTATION CHAPTER, CHAPTER EIGHT IS, UM, IT'S KIND OF THE GUIDING DOCUMENT TO HELP.

SO ALL THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE OUTLINED IN THE HOUSING LAND USE, UM, THE TRANSPORTATION, THOSE HAVE ALL BEEN, UM, IT'S BEEN DISTILLED INTO A MATRIX THAT OUTLINES HOW TO IMPLEMENT THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS.

SO I HAVE AN IMAGE, I GUESS, UH, IT'S NOT A GREAT ONE, BUT THE FAR RIGHT.

SO THAT MATRIX THERE.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE, IT HAS, UH, FOUR FUTURE LAND USE.

SO THE GOALS AND THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT I WAS MENTIONING, UM, YOU KNOW, GOAL ONE HAS FOUR RECOMMENDATIONS.

WELL, THIS BREAKS IT DOWN INTO THE MATRIX IN TERMS OF WHAT IS THE, WHAT IS THE ACTUAL, LIKE ACTION THAT NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE, WHEN SHOULD IT TAKE PLACE AND WHO SHOULD BE INVOLVED? THANK YOU.

UM, SO THE IMPLEMENTATION CHAPTER IS REALLY, YOU KNOW, HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET DONE WHAT WE SAID WE WANTED TO GET DONE WITHIN THE GOALS AND THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND THE STRATEGIES.

IT ALSO OUTLINES POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES THAT CAN BE LEVERAGED, UM, AND WITHIN THE ZONING AND REGULATION, IT REALLY HAS, UM, YOU KNOW, REALLY IF WE, IF, IF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS ADOPTED, THEN THE ZONING ORDINANCE, UM, PROVIDES KIND OF THE CITY'S DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AND ZONING ORDINANCE PROVIDES A LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE COMPREHEND RECOMMENDATIONS.

AND IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THESE CONTROLS, INCLUDING ZONING TO BE PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND FOR CODE ENFORCEMENT AND OTHER CODES AND ORDINANCES TO BE REVIEWED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.

UM, AND THEN CURRENTLY THE DESOTOS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS SHOULD ASSIST DESOTO IN FINE TUNING ITS ZONING ORDINANCE TO BETTER REFLECT THE COMMUNITY'S NEEDS.

AND REALLY THERE WAS TWO MAIN, YOU KNOW, KIND OF IN TERMS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION

[01:35:01]

PLAN.

TWO BIG NEXT STEPS ARE, ONE IS THE NEED TO UPDATE ITS CURRENT ZONING ORDINANCES TO ALIGN WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE MA LAND USE PLAN.

AND THEN SECOND IS TO SECOND IS TO, UM, FIND KEY KEY FINDING FUNDING SOURCES AND PROGRAMS ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS CHAPTER TO SUPPORT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FUTURE PLAN AND PROGRAMS TO SUPPORT THE CITY'S GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE UPCOMING DECADES.

AND SO THE BEGINNING OF THE CHAPTER OUTLINES, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THE POINT, YOU KNOW, OR WHAT IS THE ZONING REGULATIONS? WHAT ARE THE POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES THAT CAN BE USED THAT THE CITY CAN LEVERAGE TO BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT, UM, THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

AND THEN, UM, IT ALSO GOES INTO THE EXPLANATION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION MATRIX IN TERMS OF HOW TO USE IT, READ IT, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE, UH, NUMBER INDICATES, YOU KNOW, INDICATES THE, THE GOAL OR INDICATES THE CHAPTER, THE GOAL IT'S UNDER, AND THE RECOMMENDATION.

AND THEN IT BREAKS IT DOWN INTO KIND OF BABY ACTIONS OF WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN, PROVIDES A TIMEFRAME, WHETHER IT'S SHORT, MEDIUM, OR LONG OR ONGOING.

UM, AND THEN OUTLINES PARTNERS THAT SHOULD BE AT THE TABLE WHEN DISCUSSIONS ARE BEING HAD AS WE IMPLEMENT THE, THE ACTIONS, UM, AND EACH.

AND THEN ALSO THERE'S STRATEGIES THAT, UM, ARE OUTLINED AT THE END OF EACH OF THE TABLES THAT ADDRESSES, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE ONGOING DISCUSSIONS THAT NEED TO BE LOOKED AT AND CONSIDERED AS WE MOVE FORWARD, UM, IN THE FUTURE OF, OF UPDATING THE ZONING REGULATIONS.

UM, AND SO SINCE I WAS, WE WERE HERE IN OCTOBER PRESENTING THE FIRST, UM, DRAFT REPORT, WE HAVE HAD, UM, YOU KNOW, THE OPEN HOUSE, THE PUBLIC SURVEY, WE DID UPDATE THE REPORT, UH, WHICH IS WHAT BESTER SENT THE LINK TO, UM, THE LATEST AND GREATEST.

UM, WE ALSO ARE ACCOMMODATING THE SECOND ROUND OF REVISIONS.

UM, AND SO BASED ON THAT, WE ARE, WE DID RECEIVE A SET OF COMMENTS FROM, UM, EDC THAT WILL BE UPDATING AND REALLY, UM, WHERE THAT, OH, IT'S OKAY.

WELL, I GUESS I DIDN'T MAKE THIS ONE.

THERE WAS A SET OF COMMENTS I RECEIVED AND REALLY WAS MINOR FOR THE FUTURE LAND USE, UM, WHERE THERE WAS A, SOME CHANGES TO THE, UM, UPPER LEFT, UH, NORTHERN PART OF, OF DESOTO WHERE THEY WANTED TO CHANGE, UM, THE FEW, THE RESIDENTIAL FRAMEWORK, UM, TO INCLUDE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A INDUSTRIAL, UH, EXPAND THE INDUSTRIAL POINT TO IT, UM, INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT TO IT.

UM, AND SO WANTED TO OPEN IT UP TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER CHANGES THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE, UM, BEFORE OR HOPEFULLY GETTING YOUR BLESSING AND GO TO COUNCIL IN EARLY JANUARY.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR REPORT.

UH, VICE , GO AHEAD.

THOSE SPEC SPECIFIC COMPONENT, BUT I DO THINK THEY, WHOEVER'S GONNA BE, NEEDS SOME DIRECTION ON HOW TO IMPLEMENT IT WITH THE DEFINED JUST A LITTLE BIT, UM, SMALLER SCOPE, I GUESS.

UM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

UH, I WAS ONE PERSON WHO RECOMMENDED THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS, PERHAPS BE PRIORITIZED IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT.

AND I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE, UH, WORKING WITH DOING THAT WHEN YOU GET TO THE IMPLEMENTATION PORTION.

UM, THOSE WERE SOME OF THE QUESTIONS I HAD, SO I WAS GLAD TO SEE THAT YOU HAD INCLUDED SOMETHING ON HOW TO IMPLEMENT THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS WITH THE SPECIFIC ACTION ITEMS. UM, THERE'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS MISSING AND THAT YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK AT, AND I'M NOT SURE WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IT WILL FALL ON, WHETHER IT TO BE THE DEPARTMENT THAT THESE INDIVIDUAL THINGS, BUT RELATIVE TO TIMEFRAMES, I KNOW IT SAYS SHORT, BUT IT'S KIND OF AMBIGUOUS.

UM, TYPICALLY TIMEFRAMES OR HAVE A SPECIFIC TIME.

SO WHOEVER IS GOING, IF I JUST TOOK AN ACTION ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD LEVEL, THAT CITY SHOULD CONSIDER DESIGN REGULATIONS THAT PROMOTE THE INTEGRATION OF CHARGING STATIONS INTO PLANS FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT.

YOU HAVE A SHORT TIMEFRAME.

I THINK IT SHOULD BE DEF, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S FOR YOU TO DEFINE IT, OR IS IT FOR THE PERSON THAT'S GONNA BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT TO DEFINE WHAT DOES THAT TIMEFRAME LOOK LIKE? ARE WE GONNA TAKE ONE TO THREE MONTHS TO DO THIS OR ARE WE GONNA TAKE SIX MONTHS? BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC TIME PARAMETER, PEOPLE CAN TAKE FOREVER AND KEEP PUSHING THINGS.

SO I THINK THAT SHOULD BE ALSO, THERE SHOULD BE SOME COMPONENT ON MEASURABILITY.

SO IF I DO THIS, HOW DO I MEASURE THE SUCCESS OF COMPLETING THAT PARTICULAR ACTION ITEM? SO THE, THE, THE, THE ACRONYM THAT I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN IS THAT IT MUST BE SPECIFIC, IT HAS TO BE MEASURABLE, ATTAINABLE.

THE GOAL HAS TO BE REALISTIC AND IT HAS TO HAVE A TIME PARAMETER ON IT.

SO IF, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE THE PERSON TO INCORPORATE

[01:40:01]

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? NO, YES, IT DOES.

UM, AND WE HAD, AND THE TIMEFRAME, WHICH IT'S KIND OF CAN'T REALLY SEE IT, SO WE HAD CONSIDERED TO FIND IT SHORT BEING LESS THAN TWO YEARS.

NOW.

TWO YEARS IS STILL KIND OF, TWO YEARS IS LONG.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE ARE, WE'RE OPEN TO SEEING, YOU KNOW, OR WORKING WITH THE TEAM IN TERMS OF HOW WE WANNA DEFINE THAT FRAMEWORK.

UM, OR THE TIMEFRAME, SORRY, THE TIMEFRAME IN TERMS OF BE MORE SPECIFIC.

UM, WE CAN DEFINITELY HAVE THAT AS AN ACTION ITEM TO LOOK INTO.

WHAT I WOULD SAY IS WHOMEVER'S GONNA BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT PARTICULAR COMPONENT.

, THEY SHOULD HAVE SOME IDEA OF HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE THEM TO ACCOMPLISH WHATEVER.

OH, GOT IT.

WHATEVER IT IS.

SO, AND, AND I'M THINKING IF YOU'RE HAVING PARAMETERS SUCH AS TWO YEARS, FIVE YEARS, WE'RE GONNA BE ALREADY NEXT TO THE NEXT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THINGS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.

AND, UM, THAT'S WHY I THINK THE TIME PARAMETERS NEED TO BE ZEROED IN JUST A LITTLE TIGHTER.

SO, BECAUSE I THINK THE, THE CITY WANTS TO IMPLEMENT THESE THINGS SOONER.

THEY'RE TRYING TO BUILD THIS CITY A LOT QUICKER THAN THEY ARE.

A LOT LATER.

WHERE WE 100 THE NEXT, I THINK IT'S THE NEXT ONE.

OKAY, MS. BROOKS, I'LL FOLLOW UP ON, UH, MS. UH, COMMISSIONER AU SINCE MY THIRD POINT, BUT SINCE HE TALKED ABOUT IT, I'LL GO A LITTLE BIT FURTHER ON CHAPTER EIGHT UNDER IMPLEMENTATION.

UM, I THINK WHAT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF WE GO A LITTLE BIT FURTHER AND ADD A SECTION, I, I LOVE TO SEE ALL OF THE, UH, GRANT OPPORTUNITIES THAT YOU'VE LISTED, BUT, YOU KNOW, TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER AND, UM, 'CAUSE THERE'S SO, SO MUCH FUNDING OUT THERE THAT'S NOT IDENTIFIED IN THIS CHAPTER, SO I DON'T WANT US TO FEEL LIKE WE'RE ONLY RESTRICTED TO THE ONES THAT ARE IN HERE.

THERE'S BEEN SO MUCH BIDEN INFRASTRUCTURE, YOU KNOW, FUNDING THIS LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

UM, I CAN THINK OF FIVE GRANT OPPORTUNITIES RIGHT NOW THAT CAN HELP US MOVE THE NEEDLE ON SOME OF THESE THINGS.

SO ONE OF THE IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, UM, I RECOMMEND IS THAT WE FIRST OFF CONSIDER CREATING A POSITION SUCH AS A GRANTS MANAGER POSITION TO DEVELOP A STRATEGY TO IDENTIFY AND APPLY FOR ALL THE GRANT FUNDING SO THAT WE CAN LEVERAGE OUR CITY DOLLARS, UM, TO GET SOME OF THIS, THESE THINGS DONE.

AS A MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEE, MR. AVNER, I COULD TELL YOU THE TIMEFRAME IS GOING TO DEPEND ON RESOURCES.

AND IF WE CAN LEVERAGE RESOURCES WITH FEDERAL DOLLARS, THAT'S WHERE WE CAN MOVE THESE NEEDLES.

SO RESOURCES IS THE BIGGEST OBSTACLE IN MOVING THESE THINGS FORWARD.

SO I WOULD LIKE THAT TO BE LIKE ALMOST AN IMMEDIATE, I KNOW THE BUDGET HAS ALREADY BEEN ADOPTED FOR FISCAL YEAR 24, BUT IF THERE CAN BE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO MAKE THAT A PRIORITY, I'M LOOKING AT STAFF, YOU KNOW, TRY TO PUSH THAT AS A PRIORITY SO THAT WE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF, UM, THE DOLLARS THAT ARE OUT THERE WITH THE GRANT FUNDING.

AND BACK TO MY MAIN, UH, BABY, MY TRANSPORTATION , UH, CHAPTER, CHAPTER SEVEN.

I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF, UM, RECOMMENDATIONS ON PAGE 93.

IF WE CAN GO BACK TO PAGE 93.

UM, AND I FIRST MAKE THE POINT THAT I LOVE TO SEE THAT YOU'RE, WE DIDN'T SPECIFICALLY SAY WE ARE IN FAVOR OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, BUT WE IDENTIFY STAR TRANSIT AS, UH, AS AN OP OPTION FOR CONNECTIVITY.

UM, I THINK WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS MAKE SURE WE'RE, UM, COMMUNICATING THAT STAR CONNECTS TO THE GLEN HEIGHTS PARK AND RIDE, UM, WHICH ALSO CONNECTS INTO THE INLAND PORTS SINCE SHE KIND OF MENTIONED THAT WE WANNA MAKE SURE FOLKS KNOW ABOUT THESE OPTIONS.

AND ON THIS MAP, ON PAGE 93, SINCE WE ARE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS AND IDENTIFYING LOOP NINE IN THE CITY, UH, GLEN HEIGHTS, CITY LIMITS, IF WE CAN PUT A, SOMETHING ON THE LEGEND THAT SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIES WHERE THAT PARK AND WHERE THAT TRANSIT FACILITY IS, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL BECAUSE THEY DO, THEY, I THINK THEY BOTH FALL UNDER RECOMMENDATIONS TWO AND FIVE THAT I SAW ON PAGE 86.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO JUST KIND OF ADD THAT AS WELL.

UH, OF COURSE ON PAGE 100,

[01:45:04]

ARE WE LOOKING AT THE REPORT OR THE SLIDES? OH, MAYBE IT'S THE REPORT.

MAYBE THE REPORT.

SO THEY'RE NOT THE SAME.

NO, I, WELL YOU DON'T HAVE ALL OF THEM, RIGHT? SO I WAS TALKING TO THE REP PRESENTATION, BUT I HAVE THE REPORT TOO.

LET'S JUST ON PAGE 100, AND WE DON'T EVEN HAVE TO PULL IT UP, BUT ON 100 WHERE WE TALK ABOUT MULTIMODAL ACCESS AND MOBILITY STRATEGIES, UHHUH, , UM, WHERE WE TALK ABOUT PROMOTING COMPLETE STREETS, I JUST WANT US TO STRIKE THAT WHERE APPROPRIATE BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS APPROPRIATE TO PUT IN SOME TYPE OF COMPLETE STREETS AT A MINIMUM SIDEWALKS.

UH, AS WE'RE DOING ALL OF THIS DEVELOPMENT AND BRINGING, UH, DEVELOPERS TO THE CITY, I DON'T WANT IT TO BE AN OPTION FOR THEM NOT TO BE ABLE TO, I DON'T WANT AN OPTION TO BE ABLE TO WAVE THE ABILITY TO PUT IN SIDEWALKS.

SO STRIKING WHERE APPROPRIATE, BECAUSE WE THINK IT'S ALWAYS APPROPRIATE, IT ALIGNS WITH SO MUCH EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE REPORT THAT TALKS ABOUT MULTIMODAL CONNECTIVITY AND WALKABILITY AND QUALITY OF LIFE.

SO JUST STRIKE THAT ONE, UM, STATEMENT THAT SAYS WHERE APPROPRIATE.

AND THAT'S, UH, THE COMMENTS I HAVE.

GOOD JOB.

THANK YOU MS. BROOKS.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS, COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT, I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION.

UH, ON THE IMPLEMENTATION ACTION MATRIX.

UH, IT APPEARS AS THOUGH, AND I MAY HAVE MISSED IT, SO IF I MISSED IT, I APOLOGIZE.

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS GONNA BE SUBJECT TO AN ANNUAL REVIEW.

IS, IS THAT CORRECT OR IS THERE GONNA BE A MORE PERIODIC REVIEW? SO PER THE CHAPTER, THE ZONING REGULATION SHOULD BE REVIEWED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.

SO OUR RECOMMENDATION IS THAT, THAT IT'S CONTINUED TO BE DONE TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT A, IT'S COMPLIANT AND THAT IT'S COMPLIANT WITHIN THE OVERARCHING GOALS AND LAND USE THAT'S BEING RECOMMENDED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO I GUESS MY ONLY, I GUESS SUGGESTION WOULD BE IF WE'RE REVIEWING THIS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS AND IF WE REALLY WANT TO ACHIEVE THESE DIFFERENT GOALS, AND I THINK IT KIND OF PIGGYBACKS OFF OF, OF WHAT VICE CHAIR REVENUE SAID NOW.

BASICALLY HE TALKED ABOUT MEASURABLES, UH, AND KIND OF REALLY IDENTIFYING YOUR OBJECTIVES AND KIND OF HAVING SOME MORE, I GUESS MORE WELL-DEFINED TIMEFRAMES.

UH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT IT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT CITY COUNCIL WOULD THINK ABOUT MAYBE HAVING A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE THAT MEETS ON A MORE REGULAR BASIS TO KIND OF SEE WHERE WE ARE.

'CAUSE IF WE'RE ONLY REVIEWING THIS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, MM-HMM, , I MEAN THAT THAT'S 12 MONTHS WHERE, YOU KNOW, THINGS COULD HAVE HAPPENED, THINGS COULD HAVE CHANGED.

MAYBE IT NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TO THE CITY OF COUNCIL'S ATTENTION.

MAYBE WE NEED TO LOOK AT REVISING OR REPOSITIONING THINGS.

SO I JUST THINK THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED MORE PERIODICALLY SO WE CAN STAY, STAY ON TRACK.

UH, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, TO HIS POINT, YOU KNOW, IF SHORT MEANS UP TO TWO YEARS, THEN YOU KNOW, WHERE ARE WE, WE COULD BE TWO YEARS DOWN THE ROAD AND THEN WE START HAVING A DISCUSSION OF THE PROBLEMS OR THE DIFFICUL WE HAD WHEN WE COULD HAVE HAD THOSE CONVERSATIONS MUCH EARLIER AND MAYBE CHANGE COURSE.

SO THAT, THAT WOULD JUST BE MY RECOMMENDATION.

MAYBE HAVE AN OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.

AND I, UM, MS. MOON RISE, YOU GOT YOUR MIC LIT UP, SO I KNOW YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY.

DIVE IN EVEN SOONER, THAT'S STILL YOUR CALL, BUT THE HOMEROOM CHARTER GIVES YOU THAT MINIMUM.

UH, SO THE HOME RULE CHARTER REQUIRES THE COMMISSION TO DO THAT, TO DO THAT, UH, ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? NO, NO, NO.

I KNOW I DON'T ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.

I'M TALKING ABOUT MORE PEER MORE FREQUENTLY THAN ANNUALLY INSTEAD OF EVERY 12 MONTHS.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GONNA BE EVERY 30 DAYS, EVERY QUARTER, I DON'T KNOW.

BUT I THINK IF WE'RE SERIOUS ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND IMPLEMENTING IT, I THINK WE NEED TO MEET MORE FREQUENTLY TO DISCUSS WHERE WE ARE, WHAT CHALLENGES WE'RE EXPERIENCING.

IF WE NEED TO CHANGE COURSE, LET'S CHANGE COURSE.

IF WE NEED TO SPEED UP, LET'S PRESS ON THE GAS AND WE NEED TO PUMP THE BRAKES, LET'S DO THAT.

AS OPPOSED TO AN ANNUAL REVIEW.

WE'RE 12 MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD AND WE COULD HAVE HAD THESE CONVERSATIONS A LOT SOONER.

SO THAT, THAT'S ALL I'M SUGGESTING.

MR. BREWER? YES.

I THINK WHAT BESTER WAS SAYING, AND APOLOGIZE IF I SAY IT WRONG, BESTER, THE HOMEROOM CHARTER, UH, JUST ESTABLISHES YOUR MINIMUM AND IT GIVES THAT, IT SAYS THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION SHALL REVIEW THE MASTER PLAN ANNUALLY AND PRESENT ITS REPORT OF ITS FINDINGS TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

THE PLANNING IS UNDER COMMISSION SHERIFF CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF THE MASTER PLAN AT LEAST EVERY 10 YEARS AND PROVIDE THE CITY COUNCIL WITH APPROPRIATE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ANY AMENDMENTS THERE TOO.

I WOULD SAY IF YOU, AS THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO

[01:50:01]

YOU CAN DO MORE IF YOU'D LIKE, BUT THE MINIMUM AS WRITTEN IN THE HOME CHARTER JUST DOES THE ONE YEAR.

BUT THAT'S YOUR PLEASURE.

IF YOU WANT US TO BRING SOMETHING TO YOU MORE REGULARLY, WE CAN, BUT THE HOMEROOM CHARTER, WHICH IS PROBABLY NOT GONNA BE AMENDED AT THIS PROCESS, UH, JUST GIVES YOU YOUR MINIMUM OF ONE YEAR, BUT UNDERTAKE IT MORE IF YOU'D LIKE.

JUST GIVE STAFF DIRECTION ON HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO PLACE THIS ON THE AGENDA, UH, TO DISCUSS.

MR. RENELL, WHAT, I GUESS WHAT I'M, I'VE KIND OF TAKEN FROM WHAT YOU WERE SAYING AS WELL IS THERE NEEDS TO BE A LITTLE BIT SOME ACCOUNTABILITY MM-HMM.

TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MOVING THIS BALL DOWN THE ROAD AND ACCOMPLISHING THE GOALS THAT WE HAVE.

AND IF WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT IT, BUT EVERY ONCE A YEAR SO MUCH, YOU KNOW, WE THEN IT'S A YEAR LATER WE'RE FINDING OUT SOMEONE HASN'T DONE THE THINGS THAT THEY NEEDED TO DO IN ORDER FOR US TO MOVE FURTHER.

SO I, I CONCUR WITH YOU.

SO LET ME JUST ASK, AND WE, AND WE'RE NOT, I'M NOT GUESS NECESSARILY ASKING FOR A FORMAL VOTE, UH, BUT JUST THOUGHTS, HOW FREQUENTLY DO WE, WOULD WE LIKE, UH, STAFF TO BRING, UH, THESE MATTERS TO OUR ATTENTION RIGHT NOW? YOU KNOW, AS MR. BURR STATED HOME, THE HOME CHARTER RULE BASICALLY IS, IS IS EVERY 12 MONTHS, UH, DO WE WANT ONCE A QUARTER, ONCE EVERY FOUR MONTHS, YOU KNOW, SOONER LATER, WHAT'S, WHAT'S EVERYBODY'S THOUGHT PROCESS? AND SO, MR. RAVENAL, I'LL START WITH YOU.

I WOULD SAY WE DO HAVE TO TAKE AN CONSIDERATION THAT IT WILL TAKE TIME FOR PEOPLE TO IMPLEMENT AND TO GET SOME RESULTS.

I WOULD SAY NO MORE, NO, NO LESS THAN TWO TIMES A YEAR, AND PROBABLY NO MORE THAN THREE.

SO EITHER ONCE EVERY FOUR MONTHS OR ONCE BI-ANNUALLY.

MR. BROOKS, MR. CHAIRMAN, MS. MS. BROOKS, OH, CAN YOU PLEASE, OH, UH, CLARIFY THE QUESTION.

I'M, I'M CONFUSED.

THE, THE QUESTION IS RIGHT NOW IS BROUGHT TO, UH, QUESTIONS OR, UH, OR MATTERS REGARDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ARE REQUIRED TO COME TO US ANNUALLY.

MY MY CONCERN IS IF WE'RE SERIOUS ABOUT IMPLEMENTING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, IT NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED MORE FREQUENTLY THAN EVERY 12 MONTHS.

SO I'M ASKING, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THE BODY'S PLEASURE IF WE ARE, IF THE MAJORITY IS INCLINED TO, YOU KNOW, TO HAVE THESE MATTERS BROUGHT TO THE COMMISSION MORE FREQUENTLY, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? MR. RAVENNA SAID, YOU KNOW, MAYBE ONCE EVERY FOUR MONTHS, NO MORE THAN THAT.

OR MAYBE BI-ANNUALLY, ONCE EVERY SIX MONTHS.

SO I'M TRYING, JUST TRYING TO GET A GAUGE FROM THE REST OF THE BODY OF HOW FREQUENTLY DO WE WANT TO DISCUSS THESE MATTERS.

AND MS. BREWER, GO AHEAD.

YEAH, I WAS GONNA ASK, IS THAT SOMETHING YOU WANT US TO PUT ON YOUR NEXT AGENDA FOR YOU TO DISCUSS? BECAUSE I DON'T THINK, I DON'T THINK THIS'S GONNA BE A PART OF THIS PLAN.

SO IF YOU WANT US TO TACKLE THAT, I THINK MAYBE WE CAN PUT THAT ON YOUR NEXT AGENDA TO DISCUSS BECAUSE THIS DOCUMENT IS NOT GONNA HAVE THAT IN IT.

THE POINT WELL TAKEN.

SO THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION IS YES.

SO IF YOU'LL PUT THAT ON OUR NEXT AGENDA AND THEN WE'LL TAKE IT UP FORMALLY AT THAT TIME.

MR. ROBERT, I DO HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION FOR YOU.

THE LAST MEETING, WE HAD A PRETTY ROBUST DISCUSSION ABOUT THE HOUSING NEEDS FOR THE CITY, AND AT THAT TIME YOU SAID THAT NUMBER DID NOT TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHAT WAS PRESENTLY BEING BUILT, WHAT HAD GONE THROUGH ZONING TO BE BUILT IN THE FUTURE? IF THERE COULD BE SOME KIND OF RECOMMENDATION.

I THINK THE CITY NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND WHERE WE NEED TO BE AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME, BUT ALSO TRY TO CAPTURE WHAT ARE WE PUTTING INTO IN OUR CITY, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY UNITS ARE WE PUTTING, ARE WE MEETING THOSE PARTICULAR NEEDS? AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT WOULD GO IN HERE, BUT I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE THAT IF IT NEEDS, NEEDS TO BE MEASURED AND CAPTURED SO THAT WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT, WE, WE DON'T HAVE A HOUSING SHORTAGE.

YES, I SEE.

I SEE WHAT YOU'RE, UM, YEAH, I CAN WORK WITH, WE CAN WORK WITH BEST TO SEE IF WE HAVE A NUMBER OF NEW HOUSES SINCE THE HOUSING NEED WAS DONE, WHICH WAS THE EXISTING CONDITIONS WAS EARLY LA EARLIER THIS YEAR.

SO I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, FROM APRIL HAS HOW MANY HOUSES HAVE BEEN APPROVED.

APPROVED SO THAT IT WOULD FIT, CHANGE THE ACTUAL DELTA NEED.

UM,

[01:55:02]

BUT WE CAN LOOK INTO IT.

THEY MAY BE APPROVED BUT NOT CONSTRUCTED.

SO WHAT WAS APPROVED, I SAID THEY MAY BE APPROVED BUT NOT YET CONSTRUCTED.

SO THAT'S STILL THE SAME , BUT YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE CONSTRUCTED HOMES, RIGHT? YEAH.

OR ARE WE, I JUST THINK IF YOU'RE SAYING WE'RE GONNA NEED A HUNDRED THOUSAND NEW HOMES BY THIS PARTICULAR POINT, AND IF WE GET TO THAT POINT AND WE ONLY HAVE 50,000 MM-HMM.

, WE'RE GONNA FIND OURSELVES IN A, IN A PREDICAMENT.

SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS SOMEHOW WE NEED TO, UH, AT LEAST CAPTURE OR LEDGER, WE HAVE APPROVED THIS BUILDER TO BUILD A HUNDRED SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, MAYBE ONLY BUILD 75, BUT WE'RE JUST TRACKING WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY PUTTING IN THE CITY JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HIT THE GOAL THAT WE NEED.

IS IS THAT AGAIN, JUST, UH, A REPORT YOU WON'T STAFF TO GIVE TO YOU AGAIN? I'M NOT SURE IT'S SOMETHING IN THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OTHER THAN A DOCUMENT.

DO YOU WANT US TO PROVIDE YOU, I'M THINKING QUARTERLY, TWICE A YEAR.

I'M NOT SURE IF IT COMES TO US.

IT'S ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT THE CITY HAS WHAT IT NEEDS AT THAT END POINT.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY THAT WOULD BE.

WOULD IT BE PLANNING AND ZONINGS TO KEEP UP WITH IT OR WOULD IT BE THE CITY MANAGER? I, I DON'T KNOW.

SO WHEN WE'RE IN THE EXISTING CONDITIONS OR THE NEEDS OF THE COMMITTEE'S SNAPSHOT ON PAGE 28, IT HAS, YOU KNOW, THE TOTAL HOUSING STOCK, IT DOES IT, SORRY, AND I WAS MISTAKEN IT WAS FROM 2019.

RIGHT? SO WE'RE COMPARING THE PROJECTED NEEDS TO WHAT THE HOUSING STOCK NUMBER IS, WHICH IS 2019.

HOWEVER, THAT NUMBER OF 19,000 UNITS IS BASED ON, I GUESS IS IT GIS DATABASE WITHIN THE CITY.

AND SO I DON'T KNOW HOW HOW OFTEN IT'S, IT'S UPDATED, BUT I SEE YOUR POINT, YOU KNOW, LIKE TO AT LEAST PUT SOME TYPE OF NOTE OR SEE WHO HAS A DATA.

WELL, IT WOULD BE PART OF THE, UH, REVIEW WHEN YOU'RE DOING THE REVIEW THEN, OKAY, HOW MANY NUMBER OF HOUSES DO WE HAVE THIS FAR? IT CAN BE PART OF YOUR BIANNUAL, WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE TO LOOK AT THE HOUSING.

SO WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TRACKING THAT DATA? WELL, WHENEVER WE ARE GOING TO BE PUTTING THIS ON THE AGENDA, THAT MEANS WE HAVE TO HAVE THOSE NUMBERS.

SO, UH, THAT'S, THAT'S JUST MY PAST EXPERIENCE AND, UH, AND WHAT I'VE SEEN IN THE PAST.

AND MS. BERRY, I APOLOGIZE YOU HAD A QUESTION? NOT A PROBLEM, MR. CHAIRMAN.

UH, AS OF NOVEMBER THE 15TH, MY WIFE AND I AND KIDS HAVE LIVED OUT HERE 50 YEARS.

I'VE SEEN THIS PROCESS FOUR TIMES IN THE PAST OVER THAT 50 YEARS.

WE'RE STARTING ANOTHER ONE.

THIS IS NOT A STATIC DOCUMENT, IT'S A DYNAMIC DOCUMENT, IT'S A GUIDE.

THE MORE WEEDS YOU PUT IN IT, THE HARDER IT IS TO ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING WITH IT.

SO KEEP THAT IN MIND.

AND OF THOSE FOUR PREVIOUS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, NOT A ONE OF 'EM EVER GOT COMPLETED IN THE TIMEFRAME.

IT DEPENDS ON WHO'S SITTING UP HERE AT P AND Z, WHO'S SITTING UP HERE AT CITY COUNCIL AND WHERE THE MONEY'S COMING FROM.

IF WE'VE GOT THE MONEY AT THE TIME, KEEP IN MIND, GOVERNMENT IN GENERAL ROLLS VERY SLOW.

IT'S HARD TO GET A LOT OF STUFF DONE BECAUSE OF THAT.

AND IF YOU START APPLYING FOR GRANTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT, THAT IS A TIME CONSUMING PROCESS.

ALSO, I'VE APPLIED FOR MANY FEDERAL GRANTS THROUGH THE FEMA AND, UH, BELIEVE ME, SOMETIMES JUST LIKE SQUEEZING BLOOD OUT OF A TURNIP.

SO REMEMBER, IT'S, IT'S A NOT IT'S A DYNAMIC DOCUMENT AND MORE THAN LIKELY OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS, IT WON'T BE COMPLETED AND IT WILL BE UPDATED AGAIN.

AND THAT WILL PROBABLY BE THE PROCESS AGAIN.

THE NEXT ONE WON'T BE COMPLETED EITHER.

SO TRY NOT TO THROW TOO MANY WEEDS INTO IT BECAUSE THAT JUST SLOWS DOWN THAT GUMS UP THE PROCESS AND SLOWS IT DOWN ALSO.

I THINK IT'S A WONDERFUL PLAN, BUT, UH, ALL WE CAN DO IS THE BEST WE CAN TO GET IT TO GET ACCOMPLISHED, BUT, UH, ALL OF US WILL BE OFF HERE BEFORE IT HAPPENS.

[02:00:01]

UH, I'M NOT SAYING ANYBODY'S NOT DOING THEIR JOB THAT CAUSES IT, IT'S JUST, IT'S A COMPLICATED PROCESS WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT FACETS TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO JUST, UH, WHAT I WAS THINKING OVER HERE, THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

OH, THANKS SIR.

MR. REVENUE? YES, I WAS GONNA SAY, UM, COMMISSIONER BERRY, I AGREE WITH YOU YOUR, THE COMMENTS THAT YOU'VE MADE, BUT HOW I, MY PERCEPTION OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF COMMISSIONER BROOKS OR MYSELF OR THE CHAIR IS IF WE HAVE A SENSE OF URGENCY APPROACH TO WHAT WE'RE DOING, THEN HOPEFULLY WE WILL ACCOMPLISH MORE.

BUT IF WE EXPECT THE SAME RESULTS THAT WE'VE GOTTEN IN THE PAST, WE'LL CONTINUE TO GET THE SAME RESULTS.

BUT IF WE APPROACH IT DIFFERENTLY, IF WE PUSH PEOPLE HARDER, IF WE PUT THINGS IN FOR ACCOUNTABILITY, HOPEFULLY IT MEANS THAT WE WILL SUCCESSFULLY ACCOMPLISH MAYBE 75% OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

WHEREAS IF WE DON'T PUSH, MAYBE WE ACCOMPLISH 25%.

BUT I DO UNDERSTAND THIS IS GONNA BE EVER CHANGING DEPENDING ON DEMOGRAPHICS, DEPENDING ON WHAT'S GOING ON NATIONALLY, ECONOMICS AND THE MONEY AND THE RESOURCES WE GET.

BUT I, I, MY THOUGHT WAS THAT WE WERE JUST LOOKING AT THE APPROACH OF ENSURING THAT WE'RE DOING ALL WE CAN DO TO HELP MAKE SURE THAT WE ACCOMPLISH THE COMPLICA, HENCE THE PLAN IN FULL OR AT LEAST AS MU AS MUCH AS WE POSSIBLY COULD.

THANKS SIR.

COMMISSIONS.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS AT THIS TIME? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME? OKAY, HEARING IS SEEING NONE.

WE WILL TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY AT EIGHT 30 TO OPEN THIS PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS PARTICULAR MATTER.

UH, AGAIN, THE TIME IS EIGHT 30.

UH, THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION INVITES CITIZENS TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION ON ANY TOPIC NOT ALREADY DISCUSSED FOR PUBLIC HEARING.

SO AT THIS PARTICULAR POINT IN TIME, IF THERE IS ANY, UH, CITIZEN WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME FORWARD TO DISCUSS A MATTER THAT WAS NOT ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA, NOW WILL BE YOUR OPPORTUNITY.

I'D ASK AGAIN, IS THERE ANY CITIZEN WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE HEARD ON ANY MATTER THAT WAS NOT ON OUR AGENDA? UH, THIS EVENING? HEARING IS SEEING NONE.

UH, THE RECORD WILL SO REFLECT.

THERE ARE NO CITIZEN APPEARANCES TONIGHT.

UH, STAFF, ARE THERE ANY OTHER MATTERS THAT WE NEED TO TAKE UP? NOT FROM ME, SIR.

HEARING AND SEEING NONE.
