[C. CITIZEN APPEARANCES]

GOOD EVENING, MISS BROWN. PATRICK, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR CITY OF RESIDENCE FOR THE RECORD. AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK. KAY BROWN, PATRICK DE SOTO. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. I WANTED TO COME AND SPEAK WITH YOU ALL. I HAD PLANNED ON COMING BEFOREHAND AND BECAUSE, QUITE FRANKLY, I'M GETTING TIRED OF WATCHING THE MEETINGS AND SEEING ALL OF THE DISCOURSE THAT TAKES PLACE. AND AFTER THE ELECTION, I REALLY FELT THAT BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THE LACK OF UNITY AND UN ORGANIZATION IS THE REASON WHY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE WE HAVE RACISTS AND FASCISTS AND AUTHORITARIANS IS GOING TO BE WALKING AROUND THE WHITE HOUSE AND TO WATCH MY OWN COUNCIL CONTINUOUSLY PERPETUATE THAT DISCORD. AND THEN I SAW, CONVENIENTLY, THAT THERE'S AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA THURSDAY ABOUT COUNCIL INTERNAL CONFLICTS AND DYNAMICS. NOW, I'VE WORKED IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT FOR 16 YEARS, AND I HAVE WORKED CLOSELY WITH COUNCIL. I'VE NEVER SEEN THE NEED FOR AN AGENDA ITEM TO DISCUSS INTERNAL CONFLICTS AND DYNAMICS AMONGST COUNCIL MEMBERS AND TO AVOID PUTTING EMOTION IN ALL OF THIS. I WROTE MY NOTES DOWN BECAUSE IF I DON'T, THEN I'M GOING TO LOSE MYSELF, LOSE MY THOUGHTS. BUT I SAY ALL THIS TO SAY THAT THERE IS NO SECRET THAT THERE ARE MEMBERS OF THIS COUNCIL WHO ACTUALLY THRIVE IN CONFLICT IN THE DISCOURSE AND WHO WELCOME THE DRAMA BECAUSE IT BENEFITS THEM IN THEIR OWN POLITICAL POSITIONING. WE SEE THIS EVERY TIME THERE'S A BIT OF DISCOURSE. IT'S AS IF SOME OF YOU ARE MORE INVESTED IN THE APPEARANCE OF FIGHTING AND BEING PETTY THAN ACTUALLY SOLVING THE SOLUTIONS OR SOLVING PROBLEMS. WHAT IS ESPECIALLY TROUBLING IS THAT THE PEOPLE WHO STAND TO LOSE THE MOST FROM THESE DISTRACTIONS ARE THE RESIDENTS OF DE SOTO. IT'S DISAPPOINTING TO SEE THAT WHILE WE WILL BE WORKING TOGETHER TO UPLIFT THE CITY AND INCREASE THE TRAJECTORY OF SOME MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, SEEM MORE INTERESTED IN THEIR NEXT PERFORMATIVE ACTION, THEIR NEXT POSITION OR THE NEXT PICTURE THEY CAN BE IN. AND WHEN A COUNCIL MEMBER ACTUALLY STEPS UP TO DO THEIR JOB AND RAISES LEGITIMATE QUESTIONS, THEY'RE DISMISSED BY CERTAIN CERTAIN PEOPLE ON THIS COUNCIL OR CALL GRANDSTANDING. I WATCHED A, A BUDGET MEETING, COUNCILMAN

[00:20:03]

THAT BUDGET DESERVED A LOT OF QUESTIONING WHY SHE WAS ASKING THOSE QUESTIONS. CHISHOLM ACCUSED HER OF GRANDSTANDING, AND THEY WERE ACTUALLY GREAT QUESTIONS, AND I'M NOT SURE WHY THEY WOULD BE CONSIDERED GRANDSTANDING BECAUSE I ELECTED HER TO ASK THE QUESTIONS AND HOLD ACCOUNTABLE AND TO ASK THE TOUGH QUESTIONS WE SHOULD ALL BE ASKING. SO IF ASKING TOUGH QUESTIONS AND HOLDING THE BODY ACCOUNTABLE IS GRANDSTANDING, AND PERHAPS YOU ALL SHOULD BE GRANDSTANDING, I WANT TO REMIND YOU ALL, SPECIFICALLY THOSE WHO LIVE AND BREATHE IN THIS DISCOURSE, THAT THE WORD SAYS, BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS, FOR THEY WILL BE CALLED THE CHILDREN OF GOD, NOT INTENTIONAL DISCOURSE, BECAUSE IT BENEFITS YOU. I WANT TO LET YOU ALL KNOW BECAUSE I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME. THE NEXT SEVEN TIMES YOU WILL ALL SEE ME, I WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES FOR EACH OF YOU. AND SOME OF YOU. I MAY TAKE YOUR THREE MINUTES AND GIVE IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE. MAKE THEIR SIX. BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU HEAR AND THAT THE RESIDENTS HEAR SPECIFICALLY WHY YOU DESERVE TO BE IN YOUR SEAT, AND WHY YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE IN YOUR SEAT. THANK YOU. TOM GEBHARDT. JERRY RAVENEL. MADAM MAYOR, MAYOR PRO TEM, COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY MANAGER, CITY ATTORNEY AND DOCTOR ESTHER WILLIAMS. I'M STANDING HERE THIS EVENING BECAUSE AS I LEFT YOUR SPECIAL MEETING YESTERDAY AND I SPOKE WITH DOCTOR WILLIAMS, I SAID IF I HAD KNOWN, NO ONE WOULD THANK YOU ALL FOR THE CIVIC ACADEMY. I WOULD HAVE DONE SO. AND I'M STANDING HERE TODAY TO THANK YOU ALL FOR PUTTING TOGETHER A PROGRAM THAT YOU'RE MAKING AVAILABLE TO THE CITIZENS OF THIS CITY. IT PROVIDED US A LOT OF WEALTH OF INFORMATION THAT HELPS US UNDERSTAND THE INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER WHEN YOU'RE DOING THE THINGS THAT YOU DO. SECONDLY, I'D LIKE TO THANK THE STAFF AS WELL AS THE DIRECTORS, BECAUSE I COULD TELL THEY TOOK A SENSE OF PRIDE IN EVERYTHING THAT THEY DID IN THOSE PROGRAMS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RESIDENTS OF THIS CITY WERE ENGAGED. THEY HAD INTERACTIVE DISCUSSIONS AND WERE ABLE TO ANSWER, ASK QUESTIONS THAT THEY FELT WERE NEEDED TO BE ASKED, ASKED, AND THEN LASTLY, I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU THAT I WASN'T AWARE OF A LOT OF THINGS THAT THIS CITY HAS GOING FOR IT, AND IT MADE ME EVEN PROUDER TO BE A RESIDENT OF THE CITY OF DESOTO. AND AS I LISTENED TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND TALK ABOUT THE VISION THAT HAS BEEN CAST FOR THIS CITY, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THOSE THINGS COMING TO FRUITION. SO CONTINUE THIS CIVIC ACADEMY PROGRAM, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING IT AVAILABLE TO THE CITY OF RESIDENTS. THANK YOU. THAT CONCLUDES OUR ITEMS FROM CITIZEN COMMENT CARDS.

[D. CONSENT AGENDA Items are listed on the Consent Agenda by the City Manager and are recommended to the City Council for single vote approval. An item( s) may be removed from the Consent Agenda for separate vote at the request of a Councilmember, the Mayor, or the City Manager. ]

[00:25:01]

COPIERS MULTIFUNCTIONAL PRINTERS, AND PRINT MANAGEMENT SERVICES AND CONSIDER REJECTING ALL BID SUBMISSIONS RECEIVED FOR THE WESTMORELAND PUMP STATION REHABILITATION PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO REBID THE PROJECT AT A LATER DATE. THANK YOU. COUNCIL, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING THE CONSENT AGENDA BEFORE WE CALL FOR A MOTION? YES. COUNCIL MEMBER RAPHAEL SURE THING. QUICK QUESTION ABOUT TEN, WHICH IS RELATED TO THE DESIGN BID FOR WHAT IS IT? PARKERVILLE ROAD AND ACADEMY WAY. WOULD YOU LIKE IT PULLED FOR A SEPARATE VOTE OR YOU JUST HAVE A CLARIFYING QUESTION? NO, JUST QUESTIONS ABOUT IT. AND I JUST WANTED TO BRING IT UP IF THAT'S OKAY. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBER. SURE THING. HOW ARE YOU DOING? COULD YOU JUST HIGH LEVEL JUST KIND OF TALK ABOUT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT AND THEN WHAT CAN BE EXPECTED AS A RESULT OF THIS PARTICULAR ITEM? SURE. SO AS YOU KNOW, EAST PARKERVILLE ROAD AND ACADEMY WAY IS CURRENTLY UNSIGNALIZED. AND PARTICULAR ISSUE IS A TRAFFIC THAT ARE LEAVING THE SCHOOL OVER THERE ON ACADEMY WAY AND ESPECIALLY WANT TO TAKE A AND DRIVING NORTH COMING TO THE INTERSECTION. WANT TO TAKE A LEFT TURN LANE ON EASTBOUND PARKERVILLE ROAD. THEY ARE EXPERIENCING A LONGER DELAY. WE HAVE OBSERVED A QUEUE OF EIGHT CAR AND IT IS TAKING FIVE MINUTES TO CLEAR THAT IS A TRAFFIC FLOW ISSUE DELAY. ADDITIONALLY, WHAT IS HAPPENING BECAUSE IT IS TWO LANE SOME CAR INSTEAD OF WAITING IN THE LEFT LANE, THEY ARE GOING TO THE RIGHT LANE AND STILL TRYING TO TAKE A LEFT TURN FROM THE RIGHT LANE. THAT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. SO WE EVALUATED THE OVERALL TRAFFIC SITUATION OVER THERE BY COLLECTING TRAFFIC COUNTS AND MODELING BY INSERTING DATA IN OUR MODELING SOFTWARE. SO CURRENT THERE ARE DIFFERENT LEVEL OF SERVICES FROM A, B, C, D, E, F, THE A IS LIKE LESS THAN 20S. WAIT TIME. AND WE GENERALLY CONSIDER A TO D IS ACCEPTABLE. D IS LESS THAN 55 SECONDS. WAIT TIME, BUT ARE MORE THAN 80S IS ACTUALLY LEVEL OF SERVICE F, WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE IN A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION. SO WE MODEL IT AND WE FOUND THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN CRITERIA IN THE MANUAL TO DO THIS CALCULATION.

AND WE FOUND THAT THIS INTERSECTION NOW WARRANTS A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION. AND THAT WILL GREATLY HELP FOR THE AM AND PM PEAK HOUR. OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND WILL THIS SO THIS IS FOR THE DESIGN. BUT IN TERMS OF THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION AND WHEN IT'S READY, WILL IT OCCUR BEFORE THE SCHOOL YEAR IS OVER BEFORE THE AQUATIC CENTER IS BUILT? LIKE WHAT IS THE GENERAL TIME FRAME THAT WE CAN EXPECT THAT TO ACTUALLY HAPPEN? YES, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. SO IF YOU APPROVE THIS AGENDA ITEM TONIGHT, WE WILL GET THE DOCUMENT, THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT DOCUMENT SIGNED BY THE CITY MANAGER IMMEDIATELY. THIS WEEK. AND WE WILL ISSUE A NOTICE TO START WORK TO THE CONSULTANT. AND THEY ARE EXPECTING A THEY INDICATED A TIMELINE OF THREE MONTHS TO COMPLETE THE DESIGN. AND THEN WE WILL PUBLISH THE BID. SO THREE MONTHS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT BY END OF FEBRUARY, THE PLANCHETTE AND BID DOCUMENTS WILL BE READY.

WE ARE EXPECTING TO PUBLISH THE BID SOMETIME IN MAY AND WE WILL GIVE ONE MONTH TIME FOR THE CONTRACTOR TO SUBMIT THEIR BID DOCUMENTS. SO BY SOMETIME BY MAY WE WILL HAVE WE WILL SELECT THE CONTRACTOR AND COME BACK TO YOU TO AWARD A CONTRACT. BUT ONE THING THAT I WANT TO ALSO MENTION SIGNAL EQUIPMENTS LIKE THE POLE AND OTHERS. THERE IS A TIME NECESSARY TO PLACE THE ORDER AND SECURE THEM FOR THE CONTRACTOR. SO THE CURRENT TIMELINE IS LIKE AROUND 4 TO 6 MONTHS FOR THE CONTRACTOR. SO EVEN IF WE AWARD THE CONTRACT SOMETIME IN THE SUMMER, LET'S

[00:30:05]

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. COUNCIL IS THERE OH, YOU HAD A QUESTION. I'M SORRY I THOUGHT THAT DOCTOR MARKS HAD HER LIGHT ON. OH I'M SORRY, DID YOU. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. MY LIGHT WAS ON BUT I IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT OFF SIMPLY BECAUSE MY QUESTION WAS EXACTLY HER QUESTION. I WANTED TO KNOW THE TIMELINE. HE ACTUALLY WENT OVER IT AS FAR AS BECAUSE THERE WAS CONSTRUCTION IN THE AREA. WITH THE AQUATIC CENTER, YOU'VE GOT HIDDEN LAKES OVER THERE AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE. SO I JUST KIND OF WANTED TO KNOW THE TIMELINE. AND HE COVERED THAT WITH HER QUESTION. THANK YOU. AND MY QUESTION WAS ACTUALLY ABOUT NINE. IT WAS NINE. AND I JUST WANTED TO ASK A QUESTION. I KNOW THAT THIS IS AN AWARD. THIS IS WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL FOR THE CITY. BUT DOES THAT FREE UP THAT 760? WHAT IS 746,000 FOR SOMETHING ELSE FROM THIS? NOW THAT THIS IS AN AWARD, IS IT GOING BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAD WE JUST HAD SOME ITEMS THAT WE APPROVED JUST RECENTLY FOR THE SOUTHWEST CENTER DOES THIS FREE UP ANY OF THAT MONEY? NO, IT DOESN'T. THIS MONEY, WE HAVE TO USE IT SPECIFICALLY FOR NEXT GENERATION USE. AND SO WE'VE ALREADY PRETTY MUCH PLANNED WHAT WE WANT TO DO WITH THE MONEY, WHICH IS IN LINE WITH THE GRANT THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE STATE AS WELL. OKAY. SO NO, IT DOES NOT FREE UP ANY MONEY. IT'S FOR SPECIFIC USE. OKAY. GOOD DEAL. THANK YOU. I YIELD BACK COUNCIL. IS THERE A MOTION, MADAM MAYOR, MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED. THANK YOU. SECOND, IT'S BEEN MOVED BY DOCTOR MARK.

Conduct a Public Hearing and consider an Ordinance amending Planned Development-120 (PD-120) in order to allow for site layout and building amendments to the Site Plan for the undeveloped Phase 2 portion of the Assured Hampton Addition, Block A, Lots 1 and 2 (803 and 811 S. Hampton Road). The applicant is Trenton Robertson with Master Plan and the property owner is Extra Space Properties Two LLC. (Case No. Z-1532-24)]

YES, MA'AM. NEXT, WE MOVE INTO OUR PUBLIC HEARINGS. ATTENDEES MAY SPEAK ON ANY ITEM LISTED ON THE AGENDA DURING THAT PORTION OF THE AGENDA. HOWEVER, FOR TOPICS NOT SCHEDULED, ATTENDEES WILL SPEAK DURING CITIZEN APPEARANCES. THE STANDARD TIME LIMIT IS THREE MINUTES PER SPEAKER AND MAY BE MODIFIED AT THE MAYOR'S DISCRETION TO MAINTAIN AN EFFICIENT FLOW OF THE MEETING. FIRST, WE HAVE CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 120 IN ORDER TO ALLOW FOR SITE LAYOUT AND BUILDING AMENDMENTS TO THE SITE.

PLAN FOR UNDEVELOPED PHASE TWO PORTION OF THE ASSURED HAMPTON EDITION BLOCK. A LOTS ONE AND TWO, 803 AND 811 SOUTH HAMPTON ROAD. THE APPLICANT IS TRENTON ROBERTSON WITH MASTER PLAN AND THE PROPERTY OWNER IS EXTRA SPACE PROPERTIES TWO, LLC. CASE NUMBER Z DASH 153224, MAKING THAT PRESENTATION IS BEST TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING MANAGER. GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL. THIS IS A REQUEST TO AMEND PD 120 TO ALLOW FOR SITE LAYOUT AND BUILDING CHANGES ON AN UNDEVELOPED PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. LET ME START ALL OVER.

THIS IS A REQUEST TO AMEND PLAN DEVELOPMENT 120 TO ALLOW FOR SITE LAYOUT AND BUILDING CHANGES ON THE UNDEVELOPED PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF EAST PACKARD ROAD AND SOUTH AND SOUTH HAMPTON ROAD, AND CONSISTS OF 1.86 ACRES OF LAND.

THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED PD 120 WITH GENERAL RETAIL AS THE BASE ZONING. IT HAS ACCESS FROM BOTH SOUTH HAMPTON ROAD AS WELL AS EAST PARKVIEW ROAD. TO THE LEFT IS THE SITE PLAN THAT

[00:35:01]

OPEN SPACE A VARIETY OF AMENITIES TO CREATE A DESTINATION THAT ENCOURAGES PARKING AND WALKING EXPERIENCE. THE PROPOSED MINI WAREHOUSE CONFLICTS WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN OF THE ADOPTED 2024 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. ON OCTOBER 8TH, 2024, THE COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT 121 AMENDMENT AS SUBMITTED BY A VOTE OF 5 TO 2.

HOWEVER, STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE CITY COUNCIL DENY THIS PD AMENDMENT REQUEST FOR REASONS NUMBER ONE. AS I SAID AGAIN, IT CONFLICTS WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN OF THE 2024 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THIS CONFLICT IS ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH THE HOUSING ELEMENT, BECAUSE WHEN WE LOOK AT THE DESTINATION, MIXED USE, IT INCLUDES HOUSING AS WELL AS COMMERCIAL. AND WE KNOW THAT IN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THERE IS A CALL FOR MORE HOUSING. SO THAT'S AN ELEMENT IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT THIS PD AMENDMENT CONFLICTS WITH. ALSO, THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

WE KNOW THAT OUR DESTINATION MIXED USE. OF COURSE, IT WILL BE YIELDING THE HIGHEST AND BEST BETTER USE THAN THAN OUR MINI WAREHOUSES. THESE ARE THE REASONS WHY STAFF IS RECOMMENDING DENIAL BECAUSE OF THE CONFLICTS WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN, AS WELL AS THE HOUSING ELEMENT AND THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ELEMENTS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO MAKE A PRESENTATION AFTER MR. BREWER. MAYOR, COUNCIL, I JUST WANTED TO COME TO YOU AGAIN, JUST TO REEMPHASIZE, WHEN THIS CASE CAME TO YOU BEFORE WE DID A IDENTIFY THAT AN ORDINANCE HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR THIS PROPERTY TO BE ENTIRELY DEVELOPED AS A MINI WAREHOUSE. THAT WAS THE ORDINANCE THAT WAS APPROVED IN 2014. THE ORDINANCE WAS WRITTEN THAT SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIED THAT THE TWO PHASES OF THIS PROPERTY BE DEVELOPED PER THAT SITE PLAN, THE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS BEING LOOKED AT TONIGHT PROPOSED FIVE BUILDINGS, AND NOW THEY'RE COMING BACK FOR MODIFICATION. SO THIS PROPERTY IS ZONED CURRENTLY TO BE MINI WAREHOUSES. AND THAT'S WHAT THE APPROVED ORDINANCE IS. I JUST WANTED TO STRONGLY EMPHASIZE TO YOU THAT'S WHAT THE ORDINANCE CURRENTLY IS APPROVED FOR THIS ENTIRE PROPERTY TO BE DEVELOPED AS MINI WAREHOUSES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. BREWER. THEY SAID THE APPLICANT IS HERE AND HAS A PRESENTATION. HI. GOOD EVENING. STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR CITY OF RESIDENCE FOR THE RECORD. YEAH.

CHAIRMAN. ROBERTSON, TRENT ROBERTSON, 22 ONE DALLAS, TEXAS. MAIN STREET. I APOLOGIZE. FIRST OF ALL, BEFORE I START MY PRESENTATION, I JUST WANT TO SAY I'VE PRESENTED IN FRONT OF A LOT OF CITY COUNCILS. I'VE BEEN IN A LOT OF PUBLIC HEARINGS THROUGHOUT MY CAREER, AND SEEING YOUR STUDENT AMBASSADOR COME IN HERE WAS VERY UNIQUE AND INSPIRING. I LOVE IT WITH LITTLE KIDS. I LOVE SEEING THAT. I'VE ALREADY TALKED TO THE ASSISTANT CITY SECRETARY. I WAS LIKE, THAT'S ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS EVER. SHE'S WAY MORE BRAVE THAN I WOULD HAVE EVER BEEN AT THAT AGE. SO I JUST WANTED TO STATE THAT I APOLOGIZ. I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL FOR ALLOWING US TO COME UP HERE TODAY. WHAT WE ARE REQUESTING TO DO IS REALLY NOT CHANGING THE ZONING. IT'S TO AMEND AN EXISTING SITE PLAN. WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED IN 2014 ALLOWED US TO CONSTRUCT FIVE ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS ON THIS SPACE. TWO OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

WE ARE COMING BACK WITH, AND WE RELOOKED AT THE DESIGN DUE TO FUTURE DETENTION THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO CONSTRUCT, WE CAME UP WITH A BETTER DESIGN THAT'S MORE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT EXTRA SPACE STORAGE IS DOING AT THEIR NEW FACILITIES. THIS WILL ADDRESS BETTER ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES, BETTER DESIGN, BETTER FIRE AND ACCESSIBILITY FOR THOSE EMERGENCY SERVICES. SO THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS WITH THIS REITERATION, WITH THIS CHANGE AND REVISION OF SITE PLAN, IT WOULD BE DECREASING THE OVERALL IMPERVIOUS COVER AND SQUARE FOOTAGE OF WAREHOUSING. SO REALLY WHAT WE ARE REQUESTING IS LESS THAN WHAT WAS APPROVED IN 2014 BY FAR. WE HAVE GONE THROUGH THE DESIGN, THE ELEMENTS OF WHAT WAS APPROVED IN 2014, IN ORDER TO DO CONSTRUCT PHASE TWO, WHICH YOU SEE RIGHT HERE, I APOLOGIZE. PHASE TWO, THIS IS WHAT WAS APPROVED IN 2014. WE WOULD HAVE TO THE DETENTION THAT WAS APPROVED, THAT WAS CONSTRUCTED BACK IN 2014 WAS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH FOR PHASE ONE. FOR PHASE TWO, WE WOULD JUST

[00:40:06]

BUILDING. HUGH IS SET OFF THE ROAD MORE THAN WHAT THE PREVIOUS SITE PLAN ALLOWED FOR BUILDING T, SO THERE'S A THERE'S A LOT LARGER SETBACK. WITHIN THAT SETBACK, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE LANDSCAPING. YOU HAVE MULTIPLE ROWS OF LANDSCAPING, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A BETTER ARCHITECTURAL FEATURE FEATURES ON THAT BUILDING ON OUR BUILDING, ON OUR NEW PROPOSED PLAN. HERE'S A SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON OF THESE TWO. ONCE AGAIN, WE FEEL THIS IS A BETTER PLAN. IT FLOWS MORE WITH WHAT EXTRA SPACE STORAGE IS DOING NO. IT ALLOWS FOR BETTER UNITS. IT ALLOWS FOR A BETTER DESIGN, BETTER ACCESSIBILITY AND BETTER FLOW. ALL TOGETHER WE FEEL THIS IS A HIGHER END QUALITY PRODUCT THAN WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED IN 2014. YES, WE'LL GET MORE STORAGE UNITS IN THE OLD VERSION, BUT WE FEEL THAT WE WOULD GET BETTER CLIENTELE AND A BETTER LONG TERM PRODUCT HERE THAT'S MORE SUSTAINABLE THROUGHOUT THE FUTURE. ONCE AGAIN, THE ACCESSIBILITY WE HAVE BETTER. ONE OF OUR MAIN CONCERNS IS SAFETY FOR BOTH EMS, FIRE AND POLICE AND BEING ABLE TO ACCESS THE SITE. AND THIS WOULD ALLOW FOR BETTER ACCESSIBILITY FOR FIRE TO THESE NEW BUILDINGS INSTEAD OF WHAT'S ORIGINALLY DESIGNED WITH THOSE FIVE BUILDINGS. THAT WAS ANOTHER HUGE INPUT, REALLY. THIS IS WHAT WE ARE REQUESTING. ONCE AGAIN, WE DO PREFER THIS NEW DESIGN, ALLOWS US TO HAVE A BETTER DESIGN, ALLOWS US TO BE MORE CONSISTENT WITH THE NEWER PRODUCTS THAT WE'RE BRINGING OUT WITH EXTRA SPACE STORAGE, THE NICER BUILDINGS, NICER DEVELOPMENTS. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HOPING TO DO HERE IN DESOTO. WE BELIEVE THIS IS A GREAT AREA, AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE CONTINUING TO REINVEST IN THE CITY. AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU. MR. ROBERTSON, FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. COUNCIL, IS THERE A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING? SO MOVED SECOND, IT'S BEEN MOVED BY COUNCIL MEMBER, SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM HUGHES TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

COUNCIL. ALL IN FAVOR PLEASE SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED. SAME SIGN. THAT MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN. I DO BELIEVE WE HAVE A COMMENT CARD FOR THIS ITEM.

DENISE VALENTINE. FOR THE WRONG CARD. THAT'S NOT THE CORRECT FOR THE WHICH. MISS VALENTINE, ARE YOU FOR? PARKERVILLE. OKAY, THIS IS THE WRONG OKAY, SO THERE ARE NO CARDS FOR THIS ITEM. OKAY. AT THIS TIME, COUNCIL, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE OUR PUBLIC HEARING. SO MOVED.

SECOND, IT'S BEEN MOVED BY COUNCIL MEMBER. SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER CHISHOLM TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. COUNCIL. ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED. SAME SIGN THAT MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. COUNCIL, IS THERE A MOTION? MADAM MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THIS THIS PROPOSITION AS PRESENTED. SECOND, IT'S BEEN MOVED BY COUNCILMAN BYRD. SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER CHISHOLM TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED, THERE IS AN ORDINANCE THAT NEEDS TO BE READ. IS THERE ANY EXCUSE ME? BEFORE WE DO THAT COUNCIL, ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS, QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? YES. COUNCILMAN BYRD, THANK YOU. I, I AM AS OFTEN I AM WHEN P AND Z THEY THEY APPROVED IT 5 TO 2. AND SO I GUESS MY QUESTION WOULD BE DOES NOT PNC HAVE A COPY OF OUR. THEY DO USE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO WHEN THEY ARE LOOKING AT THINGS LIKE THIS. SO I'M A LITTLE TAKEN BACK THAT P AND Z WILL WOULD VOTE TO APPROVE IT. AND THEN STAFF. SO I WOULD, I WOULD, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW OUTSIDE OF IT BEING IN OPPOSITION OF WHAT WE HAD PLANNED, JUST IN THE PIE IN THE SKY PERFECT WORLD, BECAUSE WE DO KNOW WE CAN'T MAKE A LANDOWNER SELL THEIR PROPERTY AND BUILD MAYBE WHAT WE WANT TO BUILD THERE. IT'S ALREADY IS AN EXISTING STORAGE FACILITY, SO I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO UNDERSTAND, OUTSIDE OF IT CONFLICTS WITH WITH A, A DOCUMENT THAT WAS CREATED. IS THERE ANY OTHER REASONS WHY STAFF IS SAYING IS RECOMMENDING THAT WE DENY IT? WELL, THE REASONS THAT WE HAVE SAID BECAUSE WE HAVE TO STAND BY THE POLICY THAT THE CITY HAS PUT IN PLACE. SO THAT IS THE REASON WHY THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS NOT A POLICY. IT IS A IT IS A IT IS A PROPOSED PLAN FOR IF WE OWN PROPERTY. BUT AGAIN, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT AND ALSO I'LL

[00:45:02]

HOWEVER, MR. BREWER, IF WE IF YOU WOULD TAKE JUST A MOMENT AND GO BACK TO SECTION 34, NUMBER FIVE AND TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THAT SAYS ABOUT IF CONSTRUCTION HAS NOT BEEN STARTED WITHIN THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? AND I THINK THE LANGUAGE, IF YOU WILL, SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT MAY, WHICH MEANS THAT IT IS OBJECTIVE. SO IF YOU WOULD FIND THAT AND GO OVER THAT FOR THE COUNCIL, I THINK THAT WOULD PROVIDE SOME CLARITY AS WELL. I YIELD BACK. SECTION 34. IN OUR ZONING ORDINANCE IS THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT SECTION. AND WHAT'S THE NUMBER AGAIN, COUNCILWOMAN? OKAY. 34.5, SECTION C, NUMBER TWO READS A DETAILED SITE PLAN SHALL BE SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL WITHIN SIX MONTHS FROM THE APPROVAL OF THE CONCEPTUAL PLAN FOR SOME PORTION OF THE CONCEPT PLAN, IF A PARTIAL SITE PLAN IS NOT SUBMITTED WITHIN SIX MONTHS, THE CONCEPT PLAN IS SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL. IF SOME PORTION OF THE ENTIRE PROJECT IS NOT STARTED WITHIN TWO YEARS, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL MAY REVIEW THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT PLAN TO ENSURE ITS CONTINUED VALIDITY. IF THE CITY DETERMINES THAT CONCEPT IS NOT VALID, A NEW CONCEPT PLAN MUST BE APPROVED PRIOR TO ISSUING A BUILDING PERMIT FOR ANY PORTION OF THE PD DISTRICT, AND THE OPERATIVE WORD IS GOING TO BE MAY. WE MAY CONSIDER THAT. BUT BUT THEN THAT'S BUT THAT'S I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT I JUST WANT TO GIVE THE WHOLE PICTURE RATHER THAN JUST DOING A CERTAIN PORTION OF THAT. SO THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS WHERE WE ARE. SO REGARDLESS OF WHAT IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO WITH EITHER THE FIVE BUILDINGS OR THE THREE BUILDINGS. SO THE QUESTION IS, WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT? DO YOU WANT THE ONE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED IN 2014? OR DO YOU WANT THE ONE THAT LOOKS BETTER THAT WOULD BE CONSTRUCTED IN 2020 WHEN FIVE OR YEAH, THEY WANTED IT LAST WEEK. SO LAST WEEK AS POSSIBLE OKAY.

[00:50:08]

AND SO I YIELD BACK. BUT I, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I DID SAY THAT I DID BRING OUT THE COMMUNITY, MAKE SURE THAT THEY ACTUALLY TALK WITH YOU DIRECTLY AND YOUR COLLEAGUE AND GOT MORE INFORMATION. AND THEY STILL WERE KIND OF, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FENCE ON THIS BECAUSE THEY'RE LIKE, THIS IS MORE STORAGE IN AN AREA THAT'S STARTING TO COME UP. SO I JUST YIELD BACK. BUT I WANTED TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT I SAID THAT. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. MAY I BE RECOGNIZED ONCE MORE? I'M SORRY. I THINK WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH, WE GOT, WHAT, 1.86, 1.86? THAT'S THE USE THE AREA THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH. AND IF WE LOOK AT PD 120, IT'S CALLED FOR MIXED USE. SO LET'S LOOK IF YOU DO MIXED USE HOW MUCH CAN YOU GET ON THERE. THEY'VE DONE BACKGROUND WORK TO TRY TO GET PEOPLE TO OF INTEREST BEFORE THEY CAME TO US. BECAUSE EVEN IF YOU PUT A BUSINESS THERE, YOU HAVE TO ALLOW FOR PARKING AND THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER. SO IT'S GOING TO CALL FOR MORE. ALSO, IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER STRUCTURE ON THAT PARTICULAR PROPERTY, IT'S GOING TO CALL FOR ADDITIONAL DRAINAGE. YOU WANT TO ADDRESS THAT. SO THEY RECOGNIZE THAT BECAUSE THE DRAINAGE IS ALREADY ON THE PROPERTY IS NOT ENOUGH FOR ANOTHER BUILDING. SO IT'S A LOT OF INTIMATE DETAILS THAT ONE WOULD HAVE TO CONSIDER IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO ANY OTHER WAY OTHER THAN WHAT'S BEING PLANNED THERE. NOW, I YIELD BACK. THANK YOU, DOCTOR MARX.

YOU YOU SOMEWHAT UNDERSCORED SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE GOING THROUGH MY MIND IN TERMS OF THIS. AND I DO UNDERSTAND THE CONFLICT THAT IT NOW PROPOSES IN 2024. BUT WE CAN TALK ABOUT AN ENTIRE DECADE HAS PASSED SINCE THE INITIAL IDEA WAS APPROVED VERSUS WHERE WE ARE TODAY. AND, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SURE IF AND IT SOUNDS LIKE BASED ON YOUR YOUR REMARKS, DOCTOR MARX, THAT THE LANDOWNER DID CONSIDER OTHER OPTIONS FOR THAT OR IS THAT CORRECT? TRENT. YES, MA'AM.

WE'VE HAD PEOPLE APPROACH US ON IT. WE'VE LOOKED AT THE COST AND WHAT THEY WOULD TRY TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY FOR, AND ECONOMICALLY, IT DID NOT MAKE SENSE. CERTAINLY. I GUESS THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF MY THING IS, IS WHAT MAKES SENSE ECONOMICALLY. WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT IT'S NOT AS SIMPLE AS WE WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO BE IN TERMS OF SAYING WE WANT SOMETHING ELSE. YOU KNOW, I THINK IF WE COULD SNAP OUR FINGERS AND DISCUSS, YOU KNOW, PUTTING OTHER THINGS THERE, WE'D HAVE A LOT OF THINGS WOULD BE A LOT DIFFERENT. BUT I THINK IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPLEX THAN THAT. AND DOCTOR MARX BROUGHT OUT SOME OF MY THOUGHTS ON IT.

SO I WHILE I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS, I ALSO UNDERSTAND THE UNDERLYING ISSUES THAT SOMEWHAT TIE OUR HANDS TO A DEGREE IN TERMS OF OTHER THINGS GOING THERE. BUT AT THIS TIME WE DO HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR AND THERE IS A ORDINANCE TO BE READ. MISTER ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DESOTO, TEXAS, AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE AND MAP OF THE CITY OF DESOTO, TEXAS, AS HERETOFORE AMENDED, BY AMENDING AND RESTATING THE REGULATIONS OF PLANNED DEVELOPMENT NUMBER 120, AS ESTABLISHED IN ORDINANCE 1991.

CORRECT. AND THAT WOULD TAKE ALL OUR VOTES. OR WE COULD CAST FIVE VOTES FOR ONE PERSON AND THAT WOULD TAKE ALL OUR VOTES. YES. UNDERSTOOD. OKAY. COUNCIL. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER.
