OUR CITY ENGINEER. HE SHOULD BE COMING IN ANY SECOND NOW, BUT WE ARE WANTING THE APPROVAL OF THE FINAL PLAT. IT'S ACTUALLY A FINAL PLAT, NOT A MINOR. WE'RE WANTING THAT TO MOVE FORWARD. BUT THERE'S A CONDITION THAT WOULD NEED TO BE ADDED TO SPEAK TO THE, I GUESS, THE INADEQUATE, NOT NOT NECESSARILY INADEQUATE, BUT WE NEED TO APPROVE, WITH AN EXCEPTION THAT THE APPLICANT HAS TO UPDATE THE DRAINAGE EASEMENT LANGUAGE INSTEAD OF JUST APPROVING IT OUTRIGHT. OKAY. SO WILL THIS COME BACK TO THE COMMISSION? ARE WE PULLING IT OFF THE AGENDA TO BE CONSIDERED AT A LATER DATE? NO, WE WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO BE CONSIDERED TODAY. OKAY.

[F. PUBLIC HEARING]
F1 CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR A REQUESTED CHANGE IN BASE ZONING FROM MIXED USE ONE MU ONE TO MIXED USE R MU R OF LOT ONE BLOCK A RED C ADDITION. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 1001 DANIEL DALE ROAD, DESOTO, TEXAS AND IS LOCATED NEAR THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF WEST DANIEL DALE ROAD AND BOLTON BOONE DRIVE. ZONING CASE NUMBER Z-154325. MISS JORDAN. YES. GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TODAY. CAMBRIA JORDAN, PLANNING AND ZONING MANAGER. SO THIS EVENING, AS CHAIR BROOKS JUST STATED, I BRING FORWARD FOR YOUR REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION A REQUEST TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL ON A ZONE CHANGE THAT WOULD ZONE OR EXCUSE ME, THAT WOULD REZONE THE SUBJECT SITE AT 1001 DANIEL DALE ROAD FROM MIXED USE ONE TO MIXED USE R. NEXT, PLEASE. SO THIS IS THE MAIN PAGE THAT I REALLY WANT US TO FOCUS ON. I'M NOT SURE IF THE COMMISSIONER, YOU, THE COMMISSIONERS, HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT THE CASE, BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE SEEN BEFORE AS RECENTLY AS APRIL 8TH OF THIS YEAR. SO APRIL 8TH, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OR THE PLANNING AND ZONING STAFF BROUGHT THE CASE BEFORE THE COMMISSION. AT THAT TIME, THE PROPERTY WAS ZONED AS OFFICE ONE IN THE PREDEVELOPMENT MEETING, WHEN THEY HAD THE CONSULTATION WITH STAFF, IT WAS COMMUNICATED AT THAT TIME BY THE APPLICANT, MR. HERSCHEL SMITH, AND HIS FAMILY HERE, THAT THE GOAL WAS TO HAVE TOWNHOMES ON THE LOCATION. AND SO, PER OUR ZONING REGULATIONS IN THE CITY OF DESOTO, THE ONLY MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT OR ZONING DISTRICT, EXCUSE ME, THAT ALLOWS THE DEVELOPMENT OF TOWNHOMES IS MIXED USE. SO THE APPLICANT IS COMING BACK BEFORE PLANNING AND ZONING BECAUSE OF A MISS, A MISSTEP ON STAFF'S PART. SO APRIL 8TH, THE CASE CAME BEFORE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, AND IT WAS APPROVED[00:10:01]
TO GO FROM OFFICE ONE TO MIXED USE ONE. AND THEN ON MAY 6TH, IT WENT TO CITY COUNCIL. CITY COUNCIL ACCEPTED THE RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. AND THEN ON NOVEMBER OR IN NOVEMBER OF 2025, THE APPLICANT DID SUBMIT FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW. AND AT THAT TIME, IT WAS WHEN STAFF CONCLUDED THAT WHAT THEY WERE PROPOSING, WHICH INCLUDED A MAJORITY OF TOWNHOMES, WAS ACTUALLY NOT PERMITTED IN THAT MIXED USE ZONING DISTRICT. SO THAT'S WHY THEY'RE COMING BACK BEFORE US. NOTHING HAS CHANGED AS FAR AS THE PLANS GO. JUST TO LET YOU ALL KNOW, STAFF DID. STAFF MYSELF DID REREVIEW THE PLANS TO MAKE SURE ALL REGULATIONS WERE MET. SO JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE.AND HERE IS THE THE REQUEST. SO TODAY STAFF BRINGS BEFORE YOU A REQUEST TO REZONE A PREVIOUS LOT THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY REZONED TO MIXED USE ONE TWO MIXED USE R SO THAT THE APPLICANT CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THEIR SITE PLAN REVIEW TO DEVELOP AND CONSTRUCT OR CONSTRUCT AND DEVELOP THE PROPOSED TOWNHOMES. THE LOT IS JUST UNDER TEN ACRES AND AGAIN IT'S CURRENTLY ADDRESSED AS 1001 DANIEL DALE ROAD. PREVIOUSLY IT WAS WEST DANIEL DALE, BUT AS IT STANDS TODAY, IT'S JUST 1001 DANIEL DALE ROAD AND THE APPLICANT IS MR. HERSCHEL SMITH AND THE PROPERTY OWNER IS THE SAINT STEPHEN COMMUNITY CHURCH. SO IT GOES TO THE NEXT ONE. SO PUBLIC NOTICE, THE PUBLIC NOTICE PUBLICATION WAS PUBLISHED IN THE DAILY COMMERCIAL RECORD ON NOVEMBER 24TH OF THIS YEAR. IN TOTAL, STAFF NOTICED 22 PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THE 400 AND THE 200 FOOT RADIUS YOU'LL SEE ON THE MAP TO THE FAR RIGHT OF THE SCREEN. THE SUBJECT SITE IS, I GUESS, MARKED BY THE BLACK. WELL, IT'S THE LOCATION OF THE THE BLACK RECTANGLE AROUND IT IN BLUE IS A 200 FOOT RADIUS, AND THEN AROUND THAT IS A 400 FOOT RADIUS TO THE LEFT.
RIGHT. WELL, KIND OF TO THE LEFT OF THIS MAP YOU'LL SEE A RED LINE. THIS RED LINE IS SYMBOLIZING THE CITY LIMITS FOR CITY OF DESOTO. SO PROPERTIES TO THE EAST OF THE RED LINE CITY DESOTO CITY LIMITS AND PROPERTIES TO THE WEST ARE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE. SO THOSE PROPERTIES WERE NOT NOTICED. AND IN TOTAL WE RECEIVED ZERO LETTERS OF SUPPORT, AS WELL AS ZERO LETTERS OF OPPOSITION FROM PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THE 200 AND 400 FOOT RADIUS. PROPERTIES IMMEDIATELY TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE ARE CURRENTLY VACANT, BUT THEY DO EXIST AS PLANNED. DEVELOPMENT 121 21, WHICH IS THE MULTIFAMILY BASED ZONING DISTRICT. PROPERTIES TO THE EAST ARE ALSO VACANT AND IT'S ALSO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 121, WHICH HAS A BASE ZONING OF ONE, WHICH IS AGAIN IS OUR MULTIFAMILY ZONING DISTRICT PROPERTIES. IMMEDIATELY TO THE SOUTH OF THE ZONING OF THE SUBJECT SITE ARE ZONED AS PD 160, WHICH HAS A BASE ZONING OF SF TEN. IT'S CURRENTLY DEVELOPED WITH SOME RESIDENTIAL LOTS. AND THEN LASTLY, AS PREVIOUSLY STATED, PROPERTIES TO THE WEST ARE OUTSIDE OF CITY OF DESOTO CITY LIMITS. SO HERE IS OUR PROPOSED SITE PLAN. THIS SUBJECT SITE WILL TAKE ACCESS OFF OF DANIEL DALE ROAD, AS IT CURRENTLY FRONTS OFF OF DANIEL DALE ROAD, AND IT'S TO THE FAR LEFT OR WEST OF THE SCREEN.
AGAIN, THESE ARE THE SAME PLANS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY BROUGHT BEFORE YOU WHEN THE LOCATION WAS PROPOSING TO REZONE FROM OFFICE ONE TO MIXED USE ONE. GRANTED, STAFF DID DO A FULL, COMPLETE REVIEW OR REREVIEW OF THE PLANS JUST TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS CORRESPOND OR NOT CORRESPONDING, BUT EVERYTHING WAS UP TO PAR AS FAR AS REGULATIONS GO. NEXT ONE AND THESE ARE PROPOSED ELEVATIONS IN THE MIXED USE R, WHICH IS THE MIXED USE RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT. THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT IS 60FT. AND YOU CAN SEE HERE AT THE HIGHEST POINT THE THE DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO BE 50FT. AND LASTLY, THIS IS OUR PROPOSED LANDSCAPE PLAN PER ALL OF THE LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS THAT SPEAK TO BUFFERS AND TYPES OF TREES AND MITIGATION. THIS LANDSCAPE PLAN DOES MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMPATIBILITY. SO THE SUBJECT SITE IS ACTUALLY THE LOCATION OF THE SUBJECT SITE IS SYMBOLIZED BY THE BLACK STAR.
AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN YOU'LL SEE. THAT THE MAJORITY OF THAT AREA IS RED. AND PER THE LEGEND, AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS MAP YOU CAN SEE THAT THAT RED STANDS FOR DESTINATION MIXED USE. SO WITH THAT IN MIND, STAFF HAS CONCLUDED THAT THE THE REQUEST BEFORE US DOES COMBAT OR DOES IT IS COMPREHENSIVE OR IT'S COMPATIBLE WITH THE 2024 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND ALSO THAT FUTURE LAND USE MAP THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE PLAN. STAFF RECOMMENDATION. SO PLANNING AND ZONING STAFF DOES RECOMMEND THAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FORWARD A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO THE DESOTO CITY COUNCIL TO PERMIT A ZONE CHANGE REQUEST FOR MIXED USE ONE TO MIXED USE R TO ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW MULTI USE COMMUNITY WITH HIGH END LUXURY TOWNHOMES AT THE PROPERTY. CURRENTLY ADDRESSED AS 1001
[00:15:04]
DANIEL DALE ROAD. AND THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION FOR ZONING CASE 154325. OPEN THE FLOOR FOR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, MR. JORDAN. COMMISSIONERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF WITH THIS INCREASE OF DENSITY OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS, IS THERE ANY REQUIREMENT TO INCREASE ROADWAY OR UTILITIES FOR THIS CORRIDOR? I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO DEFER THAT QUESTION TO OUR ENGINEERING TEAM. GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING. COMMISSION I'M EMPTY CITY ENGINEER. SO AS YOU MAY BE AWARE OF THAT, WE ARE ACTUALLY CURRENTLY IN THE DESIGN PHASE OF A ROADWAY WIDENING PROJECT THAT IS FOR DANIEL ROAD, AND THAT THE LIMIT OF THAT PROJECT, IT STARTS AT WESTMORELAND INTERSECTION, DANIEL DALE AND WESTMORELAND, AND IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO CITY LIMIT ON THE WEST SIDE WITH DUNCANVILLE. SO IT WILL BE TWO LANE EACH DIRECTION TOTAL FOUR LANE. AND IT WILL ALSO HAVE SIDEWALK AND ALL OTHER NECESSARY ITEMS. MOREOVER, OUR PROJECT WOULD ALSO REPLACE EXISTING WATER AND SEWER LINE AND WE WILL HAVE UPSIZED PIPE. SO WHEN WE DESIGN OUR PROJECT, WE ACTUALLY ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. ALL THIS PROJECTED UPCOMING POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT BASED ON THE ZONING. SO OUR INFRASTRUCTURE WOULD BE SUFFICIENT. THANK YOU. ONE FOLLOW UP QUESTION. IS THERE ANY COORDINATION WITH THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE, WHERE THE CITY LIMITS COME TOGETHER? YES, SIR. SO WE HAD A MEETING WITH CITY OF DUNCANVILLE PUBLIC WORKS. THE MEETING WAS MUCH MORE BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO BUILD A CONCRETE TRAIL OR SIDEWALK ON THE NORTH SIDE OF DANIEL ROAD OR SOUTH SIDE OF THIS PROPERTY, AND THERE WILL BE A COORDINATION IN BETWEEN CITY OF DESOTO AND DUNCANVILLE SO THAT THEY CAN ALSO CONTINUE CONNECTING TO OUR SIDEWALK. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER ALEXIS.SO I TOOK A LOOK AT THE APRIL 8TH MEETING WHERE THIS WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED. DID WE ALSO SUBMIT THE SITE PLANS AT THAT TIME? YES, ALL PLANS WERE INCLUDED. AND JUST TO ELABORATE MORE ON THAT. SO WHEN YOU'RE SUBMITTING FOR A ZONE CHANGE REQUEST, WE REQUIRE THE SITE PLAN ELEVATIONS AND LANDSCAPE. SO ALL THREE ITEMS WERE INCLUDED PREVIOUSLY. OKAY. SO BEING THAT I'M NEW, IF YOU COULD HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHAT'S THE PROCESS OF APPROVAL FROM APPLICATION WHEN THEY SUBMIT THE APPLICATION FOR THE ZONING TO GETTING TO THE BOARD, LIKE HOW MANY APPROVALS AND WHO DO THOSE APPROVALS GO TO BEFORE IT COMES HERE? SO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, YOU GUYS ARE THE FIRST ONES TO APPROVE OR I GUESS YOU'RE ASKING WHAT HAPPENS OR WHO DEEMS THAT THE PLANS ARE READY TO COME BEFORE. CORRECT? OKAY. SO THAT WOULD BE THE PLANNING AND ZONING MANAGER. OKAY. I'M I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE OVERSIGHT HAPPENED AT THE TIME. RIGHT. AND IF THERE NEEDS TO BE PROPER CONTROLS IN PLACE OR SOMETHING SO THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN, BECAUSE THIS WAS APPROVED IN APRIL. AND THEN FROM THE NOTES SUBMITTED, I THINK IT WAS IDENTIFIED IN NOVEMBER. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. SO I CAN ELABORATE A LITTLE MORE. SO PREVIOUS STAFF THERE WAS WELL, WE'RE KIND OF UNDER A NEW EVERYONE IN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES IS FAIRLY NEW. WELL NOT EVERYONE, BUT THERE'S A LARGE PORTION OF PEOPLE AT THAT TIME THERE WAS NO PLANNING AND ZONING MANAGER. IT WAS JUST PREVIOUS STAFF WHO'S NO LONGER WITH THE CITY NOT TO, YOU KNOW, SPEAK OR SAY ANYTHING NEGATIVE.
IT'S JUST IT WAS JUST AN OVERSIGHT. THERE WASN'T ANY PLANNING AND ZONING MANAGER WHO IS FULLY RESPONSIBLE TO LOOK OVER PLANS BEFORE THEY COME, BEFORE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. SO WE WERE LACKING STAFF AT THE TIME. I SEE. OKAY, BECAUSE MIXED USE ONE, I BELIEVE IT EXPLICITLY SAYS THERE ARE NO TOWNHOMES MIXED USE ONE AND TWO. THAT'S CORRECT.
AND TWO, OKAY. AND BECAUSE THE PROPOSAL AT THE LAST MEETING, IT HAD LUXURY TOWNHOMES RIGHT
[00:20:01]
ON THE FRONT. I'M JUST WONDERING LIKE HOW WAS THAT MISSED EVEN BY THE COMMITTEE? LIKE IF THERE NEEDS TO BE, YOU KNOW, AND NOT TO CRITIQUE, BUT IF THERE NEEDS TO BE ADDITIONAL OVERSIGHT OR A PROCESS OR PROCEDURE IN PLACE SO THAT WE DON'T MAKE THESE TYPE OF MISTAKES IN THE FUTURE. ABSOLUTELY. SO I'M OPEN TO RECOMMENDATIONS. ABSOLUTELY. I WAS GOING TO SAY THE SAME THING. I'M ABSOLUTELY WE'RE ALL OPEN TO RECOMMENDATIONS. I DO AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE SAID. SO WHATEVER YOU HAVE IN MIND, JUST SHOOT IT MY WAY. OR IF YOU WANT TO SHARE ANYTHING. NOW, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ON TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT I WILL ABSOLUTELY CONSIDER IT. SO IS THE PLAN FOR RETAIL STILL IN USE? THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. AND WAS THE PUBLIC NOTICE OF THE CORRECTION THAT WAS MADE? THE PUBLIC WAS NOTICED. WE SENT OUT PUBLIC NOTIFICATIONS FOR ALL OF OUR ZONING CASES PER STATE STATUTES AND CITY REQUIREMENTS.SO THIS WAS NOTICED TO THE PUBLIC ON NOVEMBER 24TH. AND HOW LONG DO WE TYPICALLY GIVE THE PUBLIC TO OPINE OR GIVE THEIR OPINIONS BETWEEN THE DATE THAT IT'S SENT OUT TO THE DAY THAT A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE COMMITTEE IS MADE? OKAY, SO FOR EACH ZONING CASE, WE HAVE TO SEND OUT THE PUBLIC NOTICE OR PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AT LEAST 15 DAYS BEFORE THE DATE OF THE MEETING. THIS WAS DONE ON THE 24TH OF NOVEMBER. SO WE MET THAT DEADLINE. AND THEN ALSO AS FAR AS SENDING OUT THE LETTERS, WE SEND THOSE OUT TEN DAYS BEFORE THE MEETING, BUT THOSE WERE SENT OUT FAR AHEAD. THOSE WERE SENT OUT ON, I BELIEVE, NOVEMBER 24TH AS WELL. IS THERE A DUE DATE FOR THE PUBLIC TO GIVE THEIR OPINIONS ON IT? YES, THEY HAVE UNTIL THE DAY OF AT 4 P.M. AND THEY'RE WELCOME TO SPEAK AT THE AT THIS MEETING. UNDERSTOOD. OKAY. I DON'T HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER, COMMISSIONERS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? YEAH, JUST A QUICK QUESTION, MISS JORDAN. SO WE DID NOT GET ANY LETTERS BACK, BUT WERE THERE ANY EMAILS OR TELEPHONE CALLS THAT WERE RECEIVED? NONE. THANKS. ONE QUICK, QUICK. COMMISSIONER ALEXIS, DO YOU HAVE AN ADDITIONAL QUESTION? NO, SORRY.
OKAY. ONE QUESTION. DOES THIS ONLY IMPACT THE PROPERTY OWNED BY THE APPLICANT OR DOES IT IMPACT ANY OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE VICINITY? AS FAR AS REZONING, YES. IT ONLY IMPACTS THE APPLICANT. OKAY. THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME, WE WILL OPEN THIS PUBLIC HEARING. IF THERE ARE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF, IT IS 622 AND THE PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN. IS THE APPLICANT IN ATTENDANCE? YES, THE APPLICANTS ARE IN ATTENDANCE. OKAY. CAN THE APPLICANT COME UP AND AT LEAST GIVE US YOUR NAME? IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING, YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO.
OKAY. WHAT'S YOUR NAME? AND YOUR CITY OF RESIDENCE, PLEASE, SIR. TAMMY SMITH I LIVE IN CEDAR HILL. THANK YOU. AND I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF MY FATHER, HERSCHEL SMITH. OKAY. DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A PRESENTATION OR YOU JUST WANT TO BE HERE? WE COMMISSIONERS HAVE QUESTIONS.
WE SENT A PRESENTATION. I'M NOT SURE IF THEY HAVE IT. DO THEY? WELL, THAT WAS THAT. YEAH. WE SENT A PRESENTATION TO SHOW. LET ME SEE. STAFF, DO WE HAVE A PRESENTATION FROM THE APPLICANT? IT WAS FROM THE PREVIOUS PREVIOUS CASE IN APRIL. SO NO, WE DON'T HAVE ANY. IS THAT SOMETHING YOU WOULD PREFER COMMISSIONERS TO SEE OR. I EMAILED IT TO MISS JORDAN, I DON'T THINK. DO Y'ALL WANT TO JORDAN WILLIAMS OR JORDAN? OH. LET'S SEE. YEAH I SENT THE GOOGLE DOCS. SOME REASON. IS THAT SOMETHING YOU WISH FOR THE COMMISSIONERS TO SEE AT THIS TIME? YES. THAT WOULD THAT WOULD BE GREAT. STAFF. DO YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THAT? JORDAN OR JORDAN? OKAY. OKAY. YES. NO, THAT'S I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT IS BUT YOU CAN FORWARD IT. I

AT THIS TIME, WE WILL TAKE A FIVE MINUTE CHAIRPERSON, IF YOU CAN REOPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN WE CAN PLAY THE VIDEO, OKAY? AT THIS TIME, WE WILL REOPEN THE PUBLIC MEETING. ASK STAFF TO PLAY THE VIDEO PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT, MR. SMITH.WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS THE TOWNHOMES IN THE FRONT RIGHT HERE IS THE RETAIL THAT HAS THE LOFTS ON THE TOP AND THEN ALSO THE RETAIL AT THE BOTTOM. ANYTHING ELSE, MR. SMITH? NO, MA'AM. THAT'S IT. OKAY. SURE. MY COMMISSIONERS MAY HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT. COMMISSIONERS. ANY COMMISSIONERS HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? COMMISSIONER ALEXIS? YES. I BELIEVE THE PLAN SAID SOMETHING ABOUT UPSCALE RETAIL RETAILERS. DO YOU WHAT TYPE OF RETAILERS DID YOU HAVE IN MIND? ARE YOU ALREADY IN CONVERSATIONS WITH RETAILERS OR.
WE'RE PLANNING ON PARTNERING WITH FRANCHISES THAT ARE ALREADY ESTABLISHED. SO WE WERE LEAVING THAT OPEN TO PARTNER WITH THEM. OKAY. DO YOU HAVE ANY ANY EXAMPLES OF LIKE A TYPE OF RETAILER? WE. WE WENT TO SEVERAL OF THE TOWN MEETINGS WHEN WE SAW PLACES LIKE WALK ONS, ZAXBY'S, DIFFERENT RESTAURANTS OF THAT NATURE. SO WE WANT TO LOOK AT MORE ESTABLISHED RESTAURANTS TO PUT IN THAT LOCATION. THANK YOU. AND IN THE EVENT THAT THOSE DEALS DO NOT MATERIALIZE, WHAT IS THE BACKUP PLAN? AS FAR AS THE RETAIL? WE'LL BE WE'LL BE BUILDING IN PHASES. SO THAT'LL BE PRETTY MUCH OUR FINAL PHASE. SO WE'RE STARTING WITH TEN TOWNHOMES FIRST. SO BY THE TIME WE FINISH THAT ENTIRE STRUCTURE, WE SHOULD HAVE A RETAIL PARTNER.
AND I JUST WANT TO FOLLOW BACK UP JUST IN CASE THAT DOES NOT COME THROUGH. WHAT IS THE BACKUP PLAN FOR THAT SPACE. YOU WANT TO ANSWER THAT COMMISSIONERS, IF WE COULD FOCUS THE QUESTIONS ON RELEVANCE TO WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE GOING TO APPROVE THE REZONING OF THE PROPERTY FROM MIXED USE ONE TO MIXED USE RESIDENTIAL, THE BUSINESS AND THE SPECIFICS OF THE PROPERTY ARE NOT NECESSARILY RELEVANT TO THE REZONING. SO IF WE COULD FOCUS ON QUESTIONS RELEVANT TO THE THE INFORMATION THAT'S BEEN PROVIDED IN THE PRESENTATION, I POINT TAKEN. IF THERE IS RETAIL AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE VOTING ON TONIGHT, VOTING ON. AND THERE IS NO CLARIFICATION. RETAIL YOU KNOW, HAPPENS TO NOT BE THERE. I CONSIDER THAT RELEVANT.
