AGAIN, APPLICANT IS UNLOCKED PROPERTY OWNERS.
THIS IS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE CONSIDERATION.
MY NAME IS DONNA SEPULVEDA, SENIOR PLANNER WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
THIS IS A REQUEST TO REZONE CORRIDOR COMMERCIAL TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT CORRIDOR COMMERCIAL TO ALLOW FOR MIDRISE RESIDENTIAL AND SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE ATTACHED AS PERMITTED USES SUBJECT PROPERTY IS HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW.
THIS CASE WAS DENIED BY THE P N C COMMISSION ON MAY 1ST, 2023 AND THE APPLICANT APPEALED THE DECISION TO CITY COUNCIL ON JUNE 26TH.
CITY COUNCIL REMANDED THE CASE BACK TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
THE APPLICANT HAS MADE CHANGES REGARDING OPEN SPACE AND AIR FILTRATION AND THESE CHANGES DO NOT, UM, AFFECT STAFF'S.
THE APPLICANT CHANGED THE SETBACK OF OPEN SPACE FROM 150 FEET TO 300 FEET AS SHOWN BY THE RED LINE ON THE SCREEN.
THE SETBACK BETTER REFLECTS LOCATION OF THE OPEN SPACE SHOWN IN
[00:10:01]
GREEN, WHICH HAS NOT CHANGED SINCE THE PREVIOUS MEETING.THE APPLICANT HAS ALSO INCREASED AIR FILTRATION STANDARDS IN THE PD LANGUAGE.
THE REQUEST NOW INCLUDES REQUIREMENTS THAT EACH OUTDOOR AIR SOURCE VENTILATION UNIT MUST CONTAIN A FILTER BOX ON THE INTAKE SIDE OR FILTER HOUSING.
ADDITIONALLY, THE STANDARDS INCLUDE A COMMITMENT THAT THE FILTER BOXES MUST BE MERV EIGHT STANDARD OR GREATER.
A CONCEPT PLAN HAS BEEN SUBMITTED WITH THE ZONING REQUEST.
THE CONCEPT PLAN CONSISTS OF TWO PHASES SHOWING THE MID-RISE TOWNHOMES OFFICE, A HOTEL AND THE OPEN SPACE.
AND THE CONCEPT PLAN REMAINS UNCHANGED FROM THE MAY 1ST P N Z MEETING WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE OPEN SPACE SETBACK.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS DESIGNATED EXPRESSWAY CORRIDORS ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
AS MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS MEETINGS, THIS REQUEST MEETS SOME OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES, BUT NOT ALL OF THEM.
THIS REQUEST IS STILL INCONSISTENT WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT POLICY AND THIS REQUEST WILL REQUIRE FINDINGS.
THE MID-RISE RESIDENTIAL REMAINS UNCHANGED FROM THE PREVIOUS MEETINGS.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING 500 UNIT 500 AND WE UNITS AND THERE ARE SOME SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES POSED BY THE MIDRISE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ON THIS SUBJECT PROPERTY.
THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE ALSO, UM, REMAINS THE SAME.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING 33 UNITS AND STAFF STILL HAS CONCERNS REGARDING THE PLACEMENT AND DESIGN OF THE UNITS.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, UM, IS CLOSE TO THE BUSH DART STATION, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 0.42 MILES AWAY.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN THE E H A ONE AND E H A TWO AREAS.
THE NOY STUDY HAS NOT CHANGED, BUT THE APPLICANT HAS ADDED THE INCREASED AIR FILTRATION STANDARDS AND TO PROTECT FROM THE NOISE, THE APPLICANT IS PLACING A RESIDENTIAL SETBACK, UM, A MINIMUM OF 435 FEET AWAY FROM THE STATE HIGHWAY ONE 90 FRONTAGE ROAD ADDING TEMPORARY BERMS IN PHASE ONE, CREATING BALCONY RESTRICTIONS WHERE EXTERIOR NOISE LEVELS EXCEED 65 D B A AND PROVIDING POLLUTION AND NOISE MITIGATION MEASURES.
THE STANDARDS PROPOSED BY THE APPLICANT PROVIDES SOME PROTECTION FROM THE RESIDENTS, INCLUDING ENSURING INTERIOR NOISE LEVELS ARE SUFFICIENT.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING PD STIPULATIONS TO ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE RESIDENTIAL USES.
THE FIRST STIPULATION IS REGARDING TRACKS, WHICH IS UNCHANGED FROM THE PREVIOUS MEETINGS.
TRACK ONE INCLUDES THE 501 MID-RISE UNITS, 33, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE, ATTACHED UNITS, OPEN SPACE AND OFFICE AND TRACK TWO INCLUDES STANDARDS TO ACCOMMODATE A FUTURE HOTEL DEVELOPMENT.
THE APPLICANT IS ALSO PROPOSING OPEN SPACE USE AND PHASING REQUIREMENTS.
THE ONLY CHANGE IS THE 1.5 ACRES OF OPEN SPACE MUST BE SET BACK A MINIMUM OF 300 FEET FROM US HIGHWAY 75 AND STATE HIGHWAY ONE 90.
THE APPLICANT IS ALSO PROPOSING STANDARDS RELATING TO THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT INCLUDING NOISE LEVELS, MODIFIED SETBACKS, HEIGHT LIMITATIONS, F A R UNIT SIZES AND SCREENING RESTRICTIONS.
AS DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY, THE APPLICANT HAS ADDED AIR FILTRATION REQUIREMENTS SINCE THE LAST P N Z MEETING.
LASTLY, THE APPLICANT HAS ADDED PD STIPULATIONS RELATING TO SETBACKS, LANDSCAPE EDGES AND DESIGN STANDARDS.
AND, AND WE HAVE RECEIVED THREE RESPONSES IN SUPPORT WITHIN THE 200 FOOT BUFFER.
AND WE DID RECEIVE ONE DUPLICATE RESPONSE FOR A TOTAL OF FOUR RESPONSES.
WE RECEIVED 4 42 UNIQUE RESPONSES, 12 IN SUPPORT TWO NEUTRAL 28 IN OPPOSITION.
FIVE OF THOSE RESPONSES WERE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY OF PLANO AND WE DID RECEIVE SEVEN DUPLICATE RESPONSES FOR A TOTAL OF 49 RESPONSES.
TO SUMMARIZE, THE APPLICANT HAS MADE IMPROVEMENTS ON AIR FILTRATION AND OPEN SPACE SETBACKS.
THIS REQUEST WILL AID IN THE CITY'S GOAL OF REDEVELOPMENT IN THE US 75 CORRIDOR AND MEETS OTHER STANDARDS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUCH AS THE MIX OF USES.
HOWEVER, OTHER POLICIES FOCUSED ON REDEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT ARE MORE CHALLENGED BY THIS REQUEST.
AS A RESULT, THE CURRENT ZONING SHOULD REMAIN UNCHANGED TO ALLOW OTHER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
[00:15:01]
OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE BETTER ALIGNED WITH THE LONG-TERM VISION OF THE COMMUNITY.FOR THIS REASON, STAFF DOES NOT SUPPORT THE ZONING CHANGE REQUEST AND APPROVAL WILL REQUIRE FINDINGS, THE ZONING.
FORGOT TO MOVE MY SLIDE FORWARD,
AND, UM, THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
WE HAVE TECHNICAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF MR. BURNOFF.
UM, DOES THE APPLICATION CONTAIN ANY SPECIFIC, UM, LANDSCAPE PLANS FOR THE OPEN SPACE AREA OTHER THAN JUST BY DESIGNATING AN OPEN SPACE? UM, IF APPROVED, A LANDSCAPE PLAN WILL COME IN WITH THE SITE PLAN FOR REVIEW.
SO WE DON'T HAVE ONE AT THIS TIME.
SO IF THE SITE PLAN IN THE FUTURE WOULD, WOULD, WOULD CONTAIN THAT? YES.
WE'LL, WE WILL REQUEST A LANDSCAPE PLAN.
BECAUSE I NOTICED THAT THE, THE APPLICATION DOES CONTAIN LANDSCAPE SPECIFICS FOR THE BERMS, FOR THE, THE STREETS SETBACK AREAS AND FOR THE WEST PROPERTY LINE, BUT NOT FOR THE OPEN SPACE.
IF APPROVED WHEN WE RECEIVE THE LANDSCAPE PLAN, WE WILL REVIEW THE PD STIPULATIONS.
NOW WHAT PHASE, I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE OFFICE BUILDING IS IN PHASE TWO, IS THAT CORRECT? OF CONSTRUCTION? UM, LET ME BACK UP.
MR. HILL, IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH.
SO PHASE ONE IS 260 MIDRISE UNITS.
THE REQUIRED OPEN SPACE AND A MINIMUM OF 33 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE ATTACHED UNITS.
SO WITH PHASE ONE, THERE'S NO REQUIRED NON-RESIDENTIAL USES.
SO PHASE TWO WOULD WOULD BE EVERYTHING ELSE.
PHASE TWO, THEY NEED A MINIMUM OF 70,000 SQUARE FEET OF NON-RESIDENTIAL, WHICH CAN BE IN PHASE ONE OR PHASE TWO OR TRACT ONE OR TRACT TWO.
UM, YEAH, SO THE HOTEL IS IN PHASE TWO POTENTIALLY, YEAH.
AND THEIR CONCEPT PLAN DOES SHOW HOTEL BEING ROUGHLY AROUND THAT SQUARE FOOTAGE.
HOW MANY OF THE HOTEL IS, HAS 70,000 SQUARE FEET OF FLOOR SPACE? UM, TOTAL APPROXIMATELY MM-HMM.
I SEE MR. BROSKY AND MR. CAREY JUST, WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF FEEDBACK, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING IT, BUT IF WE CAN MANAGE THAT, THAT'D BE HELPFUL.
UH, I DON'T KNOW HOW BAD IT IS FOR THE AUDIENCE, BUT DOWN HERE IT'S, IT'S PRETTY BAD.
SO NEXT UP WAS, UH, COMMISSIONER BROSKY ON THE LANDSCAPING QUESTION AS WELL? UM, WHEN I VISITED THE PROPERTY, I NOTICED, UH, NOT JUST IN THE AREA THAT THEY WERE PROPOSING THE, UM, OPEN SPACE, UH, WHICH I'M VERY THANKFUL THAT, UM, WE'RE ACTUALLY, UH, THEY'RE PROPOSING MORE OPEN SPACE THAN WHAT IS CURRENTLY ON THE SITE.
BUT MY QUESTION IS, THERE ARE A LOT OF MATURE TREES THAT RING THAT PROPERTY BOTH ON, UM, PLANO PARKWAY AS WELL AS ALL THE WAY AROUND EXECUTIVE.
UH, IS THERE, I KNOW, UH, WHEN I TALKED EARLIER TO ERIC, UH, THEY SAID EVERY 50 FEET WAS REQUIRED TO HAVE A TREE, BUT THERE IS NOTHING REQUIRING THEM TO MAINTAIN THOSE NICE OLDER TREES AS OPPOSED TO REPLACING THEM WITH ALL NEWER TREES LIKE, UH, OR AURORA ONE 90 IS ACROSS THE WAY.
SO THEY, THEY CAN REMOVE TREES ON SITE AND WE WILL REVIEW THAT AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AND THEY WILL HAVE TO PROVIDE MITIGATION IF THEY REMOVE ANY TREES.
SO THEY'LL HAVE TO MITIGATE FOR EVERY TREE THEY REMOVE.
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD SOMETHING.
UM, WE HAVE CERTAIN PROVISION IN OUR ZONING ORDINANCE THAT, UH, DOESN'T REQUIRE TREE MITIGATION FOR CERTAIN INSTANCES, LIKE BUILDING PADS, FIRE LANE.
UM, IF UTILITIES, IF, UM, A TREE IS REMOVED AND THAT IS GOING, THAT THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT WILL HAVE THEIR FIRE LINE AND BUILDING PAD IN THAT AREA, THEY'RE NOT SUBJECT TO MITIGATION.
HOWEVER, TREES THAT ARE, UM, LARGER THAN EIGHT CALIPER INCHES, UH, AND THEY'RE NOT LOCATED IN THOSE EXEMPT AREAS, THEY'RE SUBJECT TO MITIGATION AND THE APPLICANT CAN, UM, DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO, UH, MITIGATE IT THE ONE, ONE TO ONE RATIO OR PAID A MITIGATION FEE, WHICH, UH, CITY OF PLANO WILL UTILIZE, UM, TO PLANT MEDIAN TREES.
UM, SO THERE'S AN INCREASED SETBACK HERE, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT AFFECTS THE OPEN SPACE.
AND AS I REMEMBER IT, THE OPEN SPACE STILL DOESN'T
[00:20:01]
REALLY MEET THE STANDARDS FOR NOISE.AM I CORRECT ABOUT THAT? THE OPEN SPACE LOCATION HAS NOT CHANGED.
THE SETBACK HAS CHANGED FROM 150 TO 300 FEET.
UM, AND I BELIEVE THE NOISE STUDY WAS ONLY FOR THE RESIDENTIAL.
YEAH, THE, THE NOISE INFORMATION IN THE ORDINANCE ALSO COVERS, UM, SENSITIVE LAND USES SUCH AS PARKS.
UM, IT DOESN'T REALLY APPLY TO PRIVATE OPEN SPACE, BUT THE OPEN SPACE WOULD HAVE SIMILAR NOISE, NOISE LEVELS.
UH, SO IT WOULD BE, UM, IN SOME AREAS EXCEEDING THE, THE NOISE RECOMMENDATIONS.
THANK YOU THAT IT? NO MORE QUESTIONS.
I WILL NOW OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING AND WE WILL BRING THE APPLICANT, I GUESS FORWARD.
AS A REMINDER, MY NAME'S BRIAN WOLF.
UH, UH, MY ADDRESS IS 44 0 3 NORTH CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY.
I'M A PARTNER WITH BAY WEST DEVELOPMENT.
UH, I BELIEVE YOU ALL KNOW THIS PROPERTY AND PROJECT PRETTY WELL AT THIS POINT, SO I'LL TRY TO MAKE THIS FAIRLY QUICK.
UH, WE WENT TO CITY COUNCIL ABOUT A MONTH AGO.
UH, THEY INITIALLY VOTED SIX THREE TO APPROVE OUR PROJECT, BUT THAT DIDN'T MEET THE SUPER MAJORITY THAT WE NEEDED.
UH, SO THEY ASKED US TO COME BACK TO P N Z, UH, TO FURTHER CLARIFY SOME THINGS MAINLY REGARDING THE E H A.
SO THE FIRST THING, UH, THAT I WANTED TO CLARIFY IS WHICH E H A ZONE OUR RESIDENTIAL IS LOCATED IN.
I KNOW THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION OVER WHETHER OUR RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS WERE IN E H A ONE OR THE MORE RESTRICTIVE, EH, A TWO.
UH, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE IMAGE ON THE RIGHT, ALL OF OUR RESIDENTIAL UNITS ARE LOCATED WITHIN THE E H A ONE WHERE THAT USE IS APPROPRIATE, SO LONG AS WE COMPLETE THE E H A SITE ANALYSIS BY THE INDUSTRY EXPERT AND IMPLEMENT ALL THE RECOMMENDED MITIGATIONS FOR THE POLICY.
THE SECOND THING I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT WAS OUR AIR POLLUTION MITIGATIONS, THE CITY OF PLANOS 2019 E H A STUDY STATES QUOTE, IT IS CLEAR BASED ON THE RECENT RESEARCH THAT THE ZONE LOCATED WITHIN 300 FEET OF THE EDGE OF THE ROADWAY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO HAVE HIGHER LEVELS OF SOME POLLUTANTS.
AS A REMINDER, WE ARE PROVIDING A 435 FOOT MINIMUM SETBACK FOR THE RESIDENTIAL.
AND OUR E H A STUDY CONCLUDED THAT OUR RESIDENTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO EXPERIENCE HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS OF HIGHWAY BASED AIR POLLUTANTS.
DESPITE THAT LAST TIME AROUND, UH, WE ADDED LANGUAGE TO OUR PD STIPULATIONS REGARDING THE MECHANICAL VENTILATION AND WHERE IT COULD BE LOCATED, UH, AND IN WHICH DIRECTION.
UH, WE'VE DECIDED TO ADD FURTHER MITIGATIONS REGARDING THE AIR, UH, REGARDING AIR POLLUTION WITH INCREASED AIR FILTRATION.
UH, PER COUNCIL MEMBER SMITH'S REQUEST, WE'VE COMMITTED TO THE MERV EIGHT AIR FILTRATION STANDARD, WHICH IS THE SAME STANDARD AS THE RECENTLY APPROVED J PLACE PROJECT, UH, TO THE SOUTHEAST OF US, WHICH IS LOCATED WITHIN THE E H A TWO AND SIGNIFICANTLY CLOSER TO THE EXPRESSWAY.
UH, ADDITIONALLY, WE CLARIFIED OUR OPEN, UH, SPACE SETBACK, SHOWING THAT IT WOULD ALSO BE OUTSIDE OF THE 300 FOOT ZONE.
UH, THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT WAS UNIVERSAL DESIGN.
UH, ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS ASKED ME HOW WE INCORPORATE UNIVERSAL DESIGN AND INCLUSIVENESS INTO OUR PROJECT.
UM, I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD TOPIC THAT WE HAVE NOT YET DISCUSSED, UH, AND SOMETHING WE DO QUITE A BIT DIFFERENTLY THAN MANY OTHER DEVELOPERS.
AND NOW, UNIVERSAL DESIGN CAN BE FOR ELDERLY CHILDREN, PEOPLE WITH PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENTAL COGNITIVE DISABILITIES, PEOPLE WITH SENSORY CHALLENGES, PEOPLE ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM, OR SIMPLY SOMEONE WHO GOT HURT AND SPRAINED AN ANKLE OR BROKE A BONE.
THE IDEA IS TO IMPROVE THE ACCESSIBILITY OF THE, OF STRUCTURES BY INTEGRATING COST EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT MODIFICATIONS TO ACCOMMODATE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OF OCCUPANTS.
I THOUGHT THE BEST WAY TO SHOW YOU WHAT WE DO, UH, IS WITH ACTUAL PHOTOS FROM BAY WEST PROJECTS AND HOW WE INCORPORATE ASPECTS OF UNIVERSAL DESIGN INTO OUR PROJECTS.
HERE'S A PHOTO OF SOME COMMON AREA SPACE AT ONE OF OUR PROJECTS.
AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE CIRCLE ON THE RIGHT WHERE WE HAVE BAR STYLE SEATING, WE ALSO INCLUDE A LOWER LEVEL SO THAT RESIDENTS IN WHEELCHAIRS CAN EASILY JOIN AND BE INCLUDED.
IN THE CIRCLE TO THE LEFT, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE TRY TO PLACE MICROWAVES, WARMING DRAWERS, REFRIGERATORS IN THE LOWER CABINETS SO THAT ANYONE CAN USE THEM.
HERE YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE HAVE COMMON AREA SINKS.
WE INCLUDE CABINET CUTOUTS SO THAT A WHEELCHAIR CAN EASILY ROLL IN AND USE THE SINK.
IN AREAS WHERE WE HAVE COMMUNITY GARDEN TYPE SPACE, WE PUT THEM IN RAISED BEDS WHERE THEY'RE
[00:25:01]
MORE EASILY ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE VERSUS ON THE GROUND.IN OUTDOOR BARBECUE AREAS, WE TRY TO LEAVE OPENINGS UNDER THE COUNTERS SO THAT THEY'RE ACCESSIBLE.
WE ALSO PUT OUTLETS AT LOWER LEVELS WITHIN EASY REACH.
WE INCLUDE COURTYARDS THAT ARE NON-ACTIVE AND ARE MORE ABOUT SPACE AND SERENITY.
WE USE CALM COLOR PALETTES FOR THESE AREAS AND INCLUDE NATURAL ELEMENTS SUCH AS FLOWERS AND GRASSES.
IT'S BEEN SHOWN THAT SENSORY ELEMENTS SUCH AS SMELLING FLOWERS AND TOUCHING GRASSES IN A CALM ENVIRONMENT CAN HELP ALL CHILDREN, BUT ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH CERTAIN DISORDERS AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES.
IN T O D LOCATIONS SUCH AS THIS, WE INCORPORATE TRANSIT SCREENS THAT SYNC WITH TRAIN AND BUS SCHEDULES AS APPLICABLE.
IT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO CHECK THE SCHEDULE WHILE LEAVING THE COMPLEX WITHOUT HAVING TO ACCESS THEIR PHONE OR COMPUTERS.
ON THE INTERIOR UNITS, WE PUT LIGHT CONTROLS AND OUTLETS WITHIN EASY REACH.
WE DON'T DO THIS ON EVERY UNIT, BUT WE TRY TO PUT IN ROLL-IN SHOWERS.
UH, THIS USUALLY WORKS BEST IN TWO BEDROOM FLOOR PLANS WHERE THE OTHER BATHROOM HAS A TYPICAL SHOWER TUB COMBO.
AND YOU CAN SEE HERE WHERE WE ALSO, UH, PUT OUTLETS AND CONTROLS WITHIN EASY REACH.
WE PUT NEST THERMOSTATS IN ALL OF OUR UNITS TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO CONTROL THEIR HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING FROM THEIR PHONES.
HERE YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE UTILIZE LOWER CABINETS WITH PULLOUT DRAWERS.
PULLOUT DRAWERS ARE MUCH MORE ACCESSIBLE TO USE AND ALSO A KEY COMPONENT OF UNIVERSAL DESIGN.
WE INCREASE DOOR WIDTHS WITHIN A UNIT WHEREVER WE CAN.
WE UTILIZE STEP LESS ENTRYWAYS, NOT ONLY AT THE FRONT DOOR OF THE UNIT, BUT ALSO ON ANY PATIO OR BALCONY SPACE.
AND AGAIN, HERE YOU CAN SEE THE INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF ACCESSIBLE OUTLETS AND CONTROLS THAT WE INCLUDE.
THE OTHER THING WE'VE WORKED REALLY HARD TO DO IS MAKE EVERY UNIT WHAT WE CALL A D A ADAPTABLE.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? IN ADDITION TO THE ACCESSIBLE OUTLETS AND LIGHTING CONTROLS THAT ARE STANDARD IN ALL OF OUR UNITS ARE BATHROOMS AND KITCHENS ARE WIDE ENOUGH FOR WHEELCHAIRS TO BE ACCESSIBLE.
ANY WORKSPACE WITHIN A UNIT IS A D A SIZE, AND THIS IS PRETTY COOL.
WE'VE WORKED WITH OUR CABINET SUPPLIERS SO THAT WE HAVE REMOVABLE SINK BASES IN ALL OF OUR KITCHENS AND BATHS.
SIMILAR TO WHAT I SHOWED YOU EARLIER IN THE COMMON AREA SPACE.
THIS ALLOWS PEOPLE IN WHEELCHAIRS TO EASILY USE THE SINKS.
THIS ALLOWS US TO EASILY ADAPT A UNIT, SHOULD A RESIDENT OR PROSPECTIVE RESIDENT NEED IT.
IF SOMEONE'S LIFE CIRCUMSTANCE CHANGE, YOU DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO CHANGE HOMES.
SO AGAIN, WE'VE TRIED TO SHOW YOU FROM THE BEGINNING HOW WE DESIGNED TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS AND DON'T JUST BUILD A TYPICAL APARTMENT BUILDING.
I HOPE THIS GIVES YOU A SENSE OF SOME OF OUR UNIQUE DESIGN ELEMENTS OF A BAY WEST PROJECT.
AND I ALSO HOPE IT CLARIFIES THE E H A QUESTIONS.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
UM, MR. BURNOFF, MR. CHAIRMAN, YOUR MIC IS OFF.
UH, MR. WOLF, UM, IN YOUR OPINION, HAS THE, UH, THE MARKET FOR BUILDING OFFICE BUILDINGS IMPROVED SUBSTANTIALLY SINCE OUR LAST MEETING TOGETHER? NO.
UM, HOW MANY SQUARE FEET OF FLOOR SPACE ARE IN THE HOTEL? SEVEN.
JUST, UH, JUST UNDER 70,000 SQUARE FEET.
AND HOW ABOUT IN THE OFFICE BUILDING IF YOU BUILD IT? UH, 125,000 SQUARE FEET.
AT THE LAST MEETING I ASKED YOU IF ECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCES WERE SUCH THAT IT WAS NOT FEASIBLE FOR YOU TO BUILD THE OFFICE BUILDING.
WOULD YOU PROCEED WITH THE PHASE TWO RESIDENTIAL UNITS AT THAT TIME? YOU ANSWERED NO, WE CANNOT PER OUR PD STIPULATIONS.
UM, ON YOUR CONCEPT PLAN, PHASE ONE, I THINK YOU'VE ADDRESSED ONE OF MY ORIGINAL CONCERNS, WHICH WAS THE BUFFERING IN PHASE ONE.
OBVIOUSLY WE DON'T HAVE A LANDSCAPE PLAN TONIGHT, BUT IS THAT, IS IT YOUR INTENTION THAT THAT WOULD HAVE A, A VEGETATIVE SCREEN ON THE TOP OF IT? IS THAT THE PLAN? YES.
AND WE'VE DESCRIBED THAT WITHIN THE PD STIPULATION.
SO THAT BERM IS PART OF PHASE ONE PER OUR PD STIPULATIONS OR SCREENING NOISE, ET CETERA, FROM THAT'S RIGHT.
I THINK IT'S, I'M GOING OFF OF MEMORY, BUT I THINK SIX FEET TALL, THREE TO ONE WIDTH, THE LENGTH OF, UH, THE BUILDING, IT LOOKS LIKE A LANDSCAPE BERM AND
SO IT, UH, I, I APPRECIATE IT.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WAS CLEAR AND ON THE RECORD, SO.
OTHER THAN THAT, I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
I'M LOOKING FOR OTHER, OH, I KNEW MR. BRONSKI, YOU HAD TO HAVE A QUESTION AT LEAST ONE.
[00:30:02]
UH, YEAH.UH, WELL FIRST I WANNA SAY, UM, I, I REALLY LIKE WHAT YOU'VE PRESENTED FORWARD AS IT RELATES TO UNIVERSAL DESIGN.
I DO BELIEVE THAT THAT DOES PROVIDE, UM, SOMETHING OF VERY SIGNIFICANT VALUE, UM, TO CONSIDER, ESPECIALLY, UH, WHEN WE CONSIDER USING THE POWERFUL TOOL OF FINDINGS TO, UM, JUSTIFY, UH, THINGS THAT DON'T NECESSARILY FIT PERFECTLY WITHIN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
UH, I WAS HAVING A CONVERSATION EARLIER TODAY, UH, WITH STAFF AND I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD HELP ME A LITTLE BIT UNDERSTAND, UM, TRACK TWO, WHAT KIND OF A HOTEL CAN I EXPECT TO SEE THERE? HAVE YOU HAD ANY CONVERSATIONS? WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT PUTTING THERE? AS FAR AS A HOTEL? YEAH.
IT'S LIKELY TO BE, UM, KIND OF LIKE A MID-LEVEL HOTEL.
SO IT'S NOT GONNA BE A CONVENTION CENTER STYLE HOTEL.
IT'S PROBABLY GEARED, UM, THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A, ONCE THE SILVER LINE COMES IN, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO THE AIRPORT.
UM, YOU HAVE CITY LINE, WHICH HAS ALL THAT OFFICE SPACE, OBVIOUSLY, HOPEFULLY OUR OFFICE SPACE AS WELL.
SO WE SEE IT MORE AS A BUSINESS STYLE HOTEL.
UH, SECOND QUESTION IS STILL ON TRACK TOO.
UM, SO IN THE FAR EAST IS THE HOTEL, IN THE MIDDLE IS PARKING, AND THEN THERE'S KIND OF NOTHING IN THE FAR WEST.
AND I REALIZE THAT'S FAIRLY NARROW.
WHAT DO YOU ENVISION THAT, IS THAT JUST GONNA BE VACANT LAND OR ARE YOU GONNA TAKE CARE OF THAT SOMEHOW? SO WE ACTUALLY DON'T OWN THE FAR LEFT PORTION.
SO THE ACTUAL PROPERTY LINE WITHIN THAT, WHEN YOU GO OUT THERE AND LOOK AT IT, YOU WOULD THINK IT'S ALL ONE PARCEL.
BUT OUR PARCEL IS WITHIN A, UH, A CERTAIN AREA WITHIN THE STREET BOUNDARIES, IF YOU WILL.
UM, THERE'S ALSO A BIG WATER EASEMENT GOING ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF THERE.
YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN PIPES OUT ON THE, ON THE SITE SINCE THEN.
THERE, UM, THE CITY IS, OR THE COUNTY IS REPLACING, UM, A LOT OF WATER PIPES RIGHT THERE.
SO WE DON'T ACTUALLY OWN THAT, THAT PORTION OF IT.
AND SO CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.
IF WE WOULD, IT WOULD'VE CREATED A MUCH EASIER SITE TO DESIGN, OBVIOUSLY, 'CAUSE WE WOULD'VE MORE SPACE.
BUT, UM, WE'RE WORKING WITH WHAT WE HAVE.
'CAUSE ON YOUR, ON THE MAP THAT I WAS LOOKING AT, IT GOES ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO SERVICE ROAD.
ON THE CONCEPT MAP, IT DOESN'T, ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE SITE, SOUTHWEST SIDE OF THE SIDE.
BUT AS FAR AS THE NORTHWEST SIDE, IT DOES, IT LOOKS LIKE AT LEAST.
IS THAT CORRECT STAFF? I HAVE SOME MICE IN HERE SOMEWHERE.
AND I THINK WE CAN, UM, MS. OTTI, IF YOU COULD CHANGE THE SLIDES BACK.
YOU CAN SEE THE, THE APPLICANT DOES HAVE PROPERTY.
I, I THINK MR. WOLFIE MAY BE TALKING ABOUT THE NORTHERN PORTION, WHICH IS UNDER CONSIDERATION TONIGHT FOR ZONING.
I THINK YOU'RE MAYBE REFERRING TO THE SOUTHERN PORTION, WHICH IS BY EASEMENTS.
I WAS REFERRING TO THAT SOUTHERN PORTION.
SO THE PORTION IN YELLOW IS, IS YOUR PROPERTY, CORRECT? THAT'S RIGHT.
SO I THINK HE'S ASKING ABOUT THAT NARROWER PORTION THAT, THAT TOP NORTHERN PART OF THAT FAR GOT IT.
YEAH, IT'S, IT KIND OF LOOKS EMPTY ON THE MAP SO IT BECOMES SO NARROW THAT IT CAN'T BE UTILIZED FROM A PARKING OR BUILDING PERSPECTIVE.
UM, AND A QUESTION THAT I HAD ASKED STAFF EARLIER, UH, HOW DOES YOUR COMPANY LOOK AT, UH, ESPECIALLY OLDER, UH, TREES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT WHEN I LOOKED AT A LOT OF THE MAPS AND I, I FRANKLY SPENT THREE AND A HALF HOURS THERE TODAY, UH, ON THE PROPERTY.
UM, SOME OF THOSE TREES DON'T LOOK SO GREAT, BUT A LOT OF THOSE LOOK VERY NICE.
AND I'M, I'M, I'M HOPEFUL THAT IF IT'S YOUR INTENTION TO DO AS GREAT A JOB AS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT WE ARE ABLE TO HOLD ONTO A LOT OF THAT.
UH, SO WHERE DO YOU GUYS, HOW DO YOU, HOW DOES YOUR COMPANY HANDLE THOSE KIND OF TREES AND THAT KIND OF SITUATION? YEP.
WE DO A TREE STUDY, UM, ON ALL OF OUR PROPERTIES, WHICH WE'LL SUBMIT TO STAFF.
UM, ANYWHERE WHERE WE CAN KEEP TREES, WE WILL.
UH, WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS PROPERTY IS WE HAVE A HUGE LANDSCAPE, UM, SETBACK ACROSS THE ENTIRE PROPERTY.
AND THE MAJORITY OF THE TREES ON SITE TODAY ARE, ARE LOCATED ON THE STREET EDGES.
UM, BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, WE'LL DO A, WE'LL DO A TREE SURVEY.
WE, AT THE HEALTH OF THE TREES HAVE AN ARBORIST COME OUT AND, AND DETERMINE WHAT WE, WE CAN KEEP.
OBVIOUSLY IT'S THE MORE MATURE TREES ARE ALWAYS BETTER, JUST FROM A PURE DESIGN PERSPECTIVE.
UM, AND THEN IT'S ALSO CHEAPER.
IT'S ECONOMICALLY BETTER FOR US MANY TIMES
[00:35:01]
TO KEEP TREES.SO WE'LL KEEP AS MANY AS WE CAN AFTER DOING THAT ARBORIST STUDY.
AND ALONG EXECUTIVE SOUTH OF WHERE THE BERM WOULD GO, I'M GUESSING, ESPECIALLY, UH, DURING PHASE ONE, YOU'RE GONNA LEAVE ALL THOSE TREES THERE PROBABLY.
RIGHT? THAT'S, AND THAT'LL BE AN ADDITIONAL, BECAUSE, UH, WHEN I WAS VISITING WITH AURORA ONE 90 TODAY, IT WAS INTERESTING HOW MUCH OF THEIR PROPERTY WAS SOUTH AND CLOSER TO THE, UH, GEORGE BUSH THEN WHERE YOUR BERM WOULD GO, EVEN BEYOND THOSE TREES.
SO THOSE TREES WOULD NOT CHANGE.
AND PROBABLY YOU WOULD WORK TO MAINTAIN THOSE DURING OBVIOUSLY WHERE THE BERM IS AND THE GRADING THAT WE'LL HAVE TO DO TO PUSH DIRT UP TO CREATE THAT BERM.
BUT ANYTHING SOUTH OF THAT, UM, WE'D KEEP, AND WE'D PROBABLY SEED, UH, HYDRO SEED TO, TO GRASP THE, THAT SPACE AS WELL AS, UM, PUTTING SOME PATHWAYS SO THAT OUR RESIDENTS HAVE ACCESS DOWN TO, UH, DOWN TO CITY LINE.
UH, MORE A COMMENT THAN A QUESTION.
UH, APPRECIATE THE, THE WORK, UH, GIVEN THE FEEDBACK THAT WAS THAT YOU RECEIVED NONE THE LAST TIME.
MEV EIGHT IS PROBABLY AS GOOD AS I COULD HOPE FOR, UM, WITHOUT GOING INTO HOSPITAL GREAT AIR, APPARENTLY.
UH, AND JUST MORE THAN ANYTHING, HOPEFULLY THIS FEELS LIKE A, A, A GOOD EXAMPLE OF A BACK AND FORTH PUSH AND PULL MANAGING DETENTIONS, UH, BETWEEN CITY AND DEVELOPERS.
SO JUST WANNA SAY, APPRECIATE YOU TAKING TIME.
THE PLAZA GREEN HAS BEEN A BIG CONVERSATION IN THE PAST PRESENTATIONS.
WE HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT IT TONIGHT.
ALRIGHT, ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM? NO, WE DO NOT.
WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND CONFINED DISCUSSION TO THE COMMISSION.
I, I WANNA ADD JUST ONE THING THAT, UH, OBVIOUSLY LAST TIME I, I VOTED IN FAVOR OF IT.
UH, THERE WERE SOME CHALLENGES AND I THINK THE PUSHBACK IS BENEFICIAL IN THAT WHAT WE, WHAT WE'RE WINDING UP WITH IS MAYBE A LITTLE BETTER THAN WHAT WE, UH, HAD OTHERWISE.
BUT, UH, THE UNIVERSAL DESIGN PIECE, WOW, THANK YOU.
UH, VERY BENEFICIAL FOR THE RESIDENTS, UH, WHO WILL BE CITIZENS OF PLANO.
SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT.
UH, COMMISSIONER ALI, YOU FIRST.
UM, I ECHO AND I ALSO UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGE GIVEN THAT I THINK BASED ON OUR PAST CONVERSATIONS, WE DON'T HAVE PARTICULAR AIR MITIGATION THRESHOLDS AND WHAT HAVE YOU, SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAVE WITH NOISE.
SO WE DON'T HAVE A TARGET FOR DEVELOPERS TO AIM FOR.
UM, SO THEM TAKING IT UPON THEMSELVES TO MEET US SOMEWHERE IS, IS APPRECIATIVE.
THE UNIVERSAL DESIGN PIECE, UH, OBVIOUSLY SPEAKS TO ME.
I HAVE TWO KIDS ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM.
SO, UM, WHEN I THINK PLANO 2050, I THINK OF MY CHILD IN 30 YEARS.
AND IF THAT'S, UM, SOMETHING WE COULD INGRAIN INTO DEVELOPERS TO THINK RIGHT, UM, THAT FAR AHEAD, UM, APPRECIATIVE.
SO, UM, I VOTED AGAINST THE LAST TIME, UM, PRIMARILY DUE TO, UM, THE POLLUTION CONCERNS.
UM, THEY HAVE COME CLOSE ENOUGH FOR ME.
UH, LET'S SUE, WHO'S NEXT? COMMISSIONER CAREY.
AS, UM, AS, AS SOME OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT THIS COMPANY'S WORKING HARD, UM, ON THIS, AND THERE'S A LOT OF POSITIVE THINGS HERE.
AND, UM, I GUESS FOR ME, I WISH IT WAS SOMEWHERE ELSE, BUT, BUT I'VE GOT A LOT OF CHALLENGES FOR THIS STILL, AND I, AND I WANNA TALK ABOUT 'EM.
UM, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE CHALLENGES THAT, UM, THIS CITY'S ENCOUNTERING RIGHT NOW IS OUR RETAIL IS OVERBUILT.
AND, YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S GONNA BE A CHALLENGE AS THIS COMMISSION GOES FORWARD.
UM, AND AS I LOOK AT THE APARTMENTS IN THE AREA, WE'VE GOT 2,638 UNITS COMING AT US, PLUS ANOTHER SEVERAL HUNDRED AT JAY PLACE, AND SOME OTHERS I KNOW ARE ON THE HORIZON THAT ARE LIKELY TO GET APPROVED.
AND SO ONE OF MY CONCERNS IS, WILL WE DO THE SAME THING WITH MULTIFAMILY HERE THAT WE DID IN THE PAST WITH, UH, WITH RETAIL? SO I HAVE THAT CONCERN.
THE, THE, THE SECOND CONCERN I HAVE IS, I, I DON'T KNOW THAT THIS OFFICE SPACE IS GONNA GET BUILT, AND, YOU
[00:40:01]
KNOW, THERE'S NO, WELL, IF YOU, UH, LOOK AT SOME OF THE RECENT ARTICLES IN THE NEWSPAPER AND OTHER PLACES, THAT OFFICE SPACE IS CHALLENGED.AND SO I WONDER IF ULTIMATELY THE OFFICE SPACE DOES GET BUILT OR THEY COME BACK AND THEY SAY, HEY, GOSH, WE CAN'T DO IT.
LET'S BUILD THE REST OF THE APARTMENTS.
AND, AND I, I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT'S LIKELY.
SO I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THAT.
I MEAN, I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT IT NOT ALIGNING WITH RGM FIVE A R GM, FIVE B.
UM, SO I HAVE SOME CONCERNS WITH THOSE THINGS AMONG OTHERS, BUT, BUT MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS CAPTURED IN, IN WHAT, UH, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT SAYS, AND I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH IT.
AND THAT IS, IS THAT THE ZONING SHOULD REMAIN UNCHANGED BECAUSE THEY THINK THERE COULD BE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE BETTER ALIGNED WITH THE LONG-TERM VISION OF THE COMMUNITY.
AND THE REASON I BELIEVE THAT IS, IS BECAUSE JUST RECENTLY IN A SUNDAY NEWSPAPER, I SAW AN ARTICLE ABOUT ALL THE COMPANIES THAT ARE TARGETING NORTH TEXAS FOR, FOR CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS.
AND I DON'T THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER PIECES OF PROPERTY IN PLANO THAT CAN ACCOMMODATE THAT AS WELL AS THIS.
AND WE JUST SAW THIS HAPPEN WITH, UH, WITH E D S UP THERE, AND THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT 30,000 MORE JOBS.
AND I PERSONALLY THINK FOR THE WELLBEING OF PLANO, IF IN FACT, AND MAYBE WE WAIT, AND I'VE HEARD ALL THE ARGUMENTS THAT, GOSH, IT'S BEEN SITTING THERE VACANT FOR A LONG TIME, BUT IT REALLY HASN'T BEEN THAT LONG, IN MY OPINION, WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A 2050 PLAN AND BEYOND.
AND, AND I, YOU KNOW, I, I THINK THERE'S ULTIMATELY A, POTENTIALLY A BETTER USE FOR THIS THAT'LL BE A BETTER ENGINE FOR OUR CITY WITH MAYBE MORE JOBS.
UM, AND SO, YOU KNOW, FOR THOSE REASONS, AS, AS GOOD AS ALL THE THINGS THESE GUYS HAVE DONE, AND I, I WISH THIS WERE SOMEWHERE ELSE ELSE, BUT FOR ME, THE LAND USE HERE, THE ULTIMATE LAND USE IS THE ISSUE FOR ME.
AND IT, AND IT'S GONNA BE CHALLENGING.
I, I STILL DON'T BELIEVE I CAN SUPPORT THIS.
UM, AND SO THAT'S, THAT'S MY OPINION.
THANK YOU, UH, COMMISSIONER BRUNO.
UM, IN SAYING WHAT I'M GONNA SAY, I WANNA MAKE IT CLEAR THAT I AM NOT REFLEXIVELY OR FUNDAMENTALLY OPPOSED TO APARTMENTS.
THERE IS A PLACE FOR APARTMENTS.
I VOTED FOR SEVERAL CASES DURING MY TIME HERE ON THE COMMISSION THAT INVOLVED APARTMENT CONSTRUCTION SUCH AS J PLACE, SUCH AS, UH, E D S AT OUR LAST MEETING AND SO FORTH.
UM, MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS CASE INVOLVE, UH, CONSIDERATIONS SPECIFIC TO THIS SITE.
UM, I HAVE TO AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER CAREY REGARDING THE NON-CONFORMITY WITH, UH, RGM FIVE A, FIVE B, UH, UM, I NOTED THAT THE, THE STAFF REPORT, UH, EMPHASIZED THE CITY'S LAND USE POLICIES AS, UH, UH, TO ENCOURAGING RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS IN WELL INTEGRATED AND THOUGHTFUL PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED NEIGHBORHOODS.
UH, OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ON DEFINING THE EXPRESSWAY CORRIDOR FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY, UH, STATES THAT THE EXPRESSWAY CORRIDOR IS EXPECTED TO INCLUDE A MIX OF RETAIL SERVICE, OFFICE, RESTAURANT, MEDICAL HOTEL, AND TECHNOLOGICALLY BASED USES.
UM, AN OFFICE BUILDING IS PROPOSED, BUT THREE TIMES NOW, THE APPLICANT HAS TOLD US THAT THE MARKET FOR, UH, OFFICE SPACE CONSTRUCTION IS VERY WEAK BACK IN MARCH.
HE SPECIFICALLY SAID BANKS ARE NOT AGREEING TO FINANCE THE CONSTRUCTION OF OFFICE SPACE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS PART OF TOWN.
UM, BACK ON MAY THE FIRST, HE WENT THROUGH A LIST OF NEARBY OFFICE PROPERTIES WITH HIGH VACANCY RATES.
SINCE THE, SINCE THE COVID PANDEMIC, UH, PEOPLE'S WORK HABITS HAVE CHANGED FUNDAMENTALLY THERE, THEY'RE NOW WORKING MORE AT HOME AND LESS OUT OF OFFICES.
UH, SO I, I SHARE COMMISSIONER CAREY'S DOUBTS AS TO WHETHER IT WILL BE FEASIBLE, UH, OR REALISTIC TO LOOK FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS OFFICE BUILDING ANYTIME SOON.
AND THE COMMISSIONER HAS SAID TWICE IN TWO MEETINGS THAT IF HE CAN'T BUILD THE OFFICE BUILDING, WE DON'T GET PHASE TWO APARTMENTS WITH IT BECAUSE THEY'RE TIED TOGETHER.
SO IF WE DON'T GET PHASE TWO APARTMENTS, WHAT WE DO GET IS PHASE ONE APARTMENT AND, AND THE SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED.
UM, IN TERMS OF A WELL-INTEGRATED AND THOUGHTFUL PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED NEIGHBORHOOD, I, I DON'T SEE IT HERE.
WE'RE NOT GETTING, UM, RETAIL, WE'RE NOT GETTING SERVICE USES.
WE'RE NOT, UH, WE'RE NOT GETTING RESTAURANTS, MEDICAL, OR TECHNOLOGICALLY BASED USES.
UM, THERE'S NOTHING IN THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD'VE AN INTEGRATED WALKABLE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHETHER IT'S THE STARBUCKS ON THE CORNER, UH, OR A GROCERY STORE NEARBY, OR A TAILOR SHOP, OR A DRY CLEANER OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD TEND TO MAKE A COMMUNITY, UM, WITH RESPECT TO THE SINGLE FAMILY.
ATTACHED THE STAFF'S COMMENTS, POINT OUT A CONCEPT CALLED PLACEMAKING.
AND I HAVE THE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT PLACEMAKING
[00:45:01]
IS OPEN.IT'S IN THE PACKET ON PAGE 67.
PLACEMAKING INVOLVES THE DEVELOPMENT OF PLACES DESIGNED, CONSTRUCTED, AND MAINTAINED TO STIMULATE AND PLEASE THE SENSES TO ENCOURAGE COMMUNITY USE AND TO PROMOTE CIVIC AND PERSONAL PRIDE.
BESIDES ALLOWING PEOPLE TO PERFORM ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS SUCH AS EMPLOYMENT AND SHOPPING PLACES SHOULD BE ENJOYABLE, ENTERTAINING AND EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS IN PLACE MAKING LIES AND CONFIGURING SPACES AND STRUCTURES AND THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THEM IN A WAY THAT FACILITATES AND ENCOURAGES HUMAN ACTIVITY AND INTERACTION WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF COMMUNITY.
I DON'T SEE A LOT OF POTENTIAL FOR INTERACTION HERE BETWEEN THE APARTMENTS AND THE SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED.
I DON'T SEE THE, UH, POTENTIAL FOR A LOT OF INTERACTION BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL AND THE OFFICE BUILDING.
THE ONLY POTENTIAL INTERACTION I SEE HERE IS IF THE OFFICE BUILDING IS BUILT, THE HOTEL MIGHT INTERACT WITH THE OFFICE BUILDING FOR, YOU KNOW, BUSINESS TRAVEL RELATED TO THE BUSINESSES THAT ARE TAKING PLACE WITHIN THE OFFICE BUILDING.
BUT WITH NO OFFICE BUILDING, EVEN THAT DOESN'T EXIST.
UM, A BETTER, YOU KNOW, A DIFFERENT DESIGN OF THE SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED MIGHT BE A STEP TOWARD CREATING PLACEMAKING.
FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED UNITS WERE CONSTRUCTED AROUND A CENTRAL, COMMON OPEN SPACE AREA, TO WHICH THEY ALL HAD DIRECT ACCESS, WHERE IT COULD BE A PLACE WHERE THE PEOPLE COULD INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER, THAT MIGHT BE A FORM OF, UH, YOU KNOW, A ONE STEP TOWARD PLACEMAKING.
FUNDAMENTALLY, WHAT I SEE HERE IS A BUNCH OF PARTS THAT DON'T NECESSARILY FIT TOGETHER, THAT ARE NOT RELATED TO EACH OTHER AND DON'T CREATE A COMMUNITY.
UM, THE STAFF POINTED OUT THAT THIS IS, THIS IS A PRIME LOCATION NEXT TO HIGHWAYS THAT, UM, UM, WOULD BE A, A PRIME LOCATION FOR A FUTURE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
AND I JUST ASSUME WAIT FOR A COMMERCIAL APPLICATION, EVEN, EVEN FROM THIS APPLICANT TO COME ALONG THAT WE COULD CONSIDER FAVORABLY.
FURTHERMORE, THE, UH, THE GREEN, THE OPEN SPACE IS NOT SCREENED FOR NOISE.
UH, THE MEASURED NOISE LEVELS ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF THE SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED RESIDENCE THAT FACE THE OPEN SPACE ON THE NORTH AND ON THE EAST SIDE, ARE AS HIGH AS 73 AND A HALF DECIBELS.
AND THEREFORE, WE HAVE TO ASSUME THAT THE, UM, OPEN SPACE, WHICH IS OPEN SPACE, WHICH IS CLOSER TO THE HIGHWAY, WOULD, WOULD BE WITHIN THE E H A ONE NOISE AREA ANYWAY.
UM, EVEN IF THE OFFICE BUILDING WERE BUILT, IT WOULD NOT HAVE A, A NOISE SCREENING EFFECT BECAUSE IT'S NOT TALL ENOUGH.
THE BULK OF THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE ELEVATED HIGHWAY.
THE GEORGE BUSH TURNPIKE, THE TEMPORARY BURNS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY WOULD SCREEN WHAT MINIMAL NOISE WOULD BE, UM, EMANATING FROM THE LIGHTLY TRAVELED SERVICE ROAD BELOW THE HIGHWAY.
IT WOULD DO NOTHING TO MITIGATE THE NOISE COMING FROM THE ELEVATED HIGHWAY 'CAUSE IT'S ONLY, WHAT, SIX OR SEVEN FEET TALL.
SO FOR THOSE REASONS, UM, I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY THE WRONG PROJECT FOR THIS LOCATION.
UH, I'D LIKE TO SEE A COMMERCIAL PROJECT COME ALONG.
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER RATLIFF.
UM, I WAS, I GUESS THE ONE THAT MISSED THE LAST MEETING.
SO I, I'VE LOOKED AT THIS A LITTLE, I GUESS A LITTLE MORE HOLISTICALLY.
AND IF I TAKE THE, THE GOOGLE AERIAL AND ZOOM OUT, I CONSIDER THIS TO BE KIND OF THE WHOLE OF THE DONUT OVER WHAT'S OVER THERE TODAY.
BECAUSE WHAT'S OVER THERE TODAY IS MULTIFAMILY EAST OF IT, UM, MULTIFAMILY SOUTH OF IT, UM, AT CITY PLACE.
UM, A PRETTY GOOD MIXED USE, UH, UH, DEVELOPMENT SOUTH OF IT AT CITY PLACE.
AND I REALIZE THAT'S OVER THE CITY LIMIT LINE, BUT PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE DON'T KNOW WHERE THE CITY LIMIT LINE IS.
I MEAN, THEY'RE, THEY'RE WALKING TO THE DART STATION.
I MEAN, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HAVING A TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT WITHIN A WALKING DISTANCE OF A DART STATION.
I MEAN, THIS IS A TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT AND WALKING DISTANCE OF A DART STATION WITH TWO LINES.
AND SO, UM, BUT NOT ONLY IS IT IN WALKING DISTANCE OF A DART STATION, TWO STATIONS, UM, IT'S WALKING DISTANCE, THE CITY LINE.
AND I MEAN, I, I, I LIVE DOWN IN THIS AREA.
WE PROBABLY EAT DOWN IN CITY LINE AND GO DOWN CITY LINE MORE THAN, UH, I CARE TO ADMIT.
BUT, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD IS, I DON'T WANT TO COMPARE IT TO LEGACY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IT'S SEPARATED BY FREEWAY TOO, BUT, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF CROSS TRAFFIC NORTH AND SOUTH ACROSS THAT FREEWAY.
I THINK, I THINK WE COULD IMPROVE THE SIDEWALKS CONNECTING THOSE.
UM, I, I THINK THERE IS SOME PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY THAT NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED THERE, UH, TO ENCOURAGE THAT WALKING.
BUT WHEN I LOOK AT, UM, R G M FIVE A AND B I, I'M LOOKING BEYOND THE YELLOW LINE
[00:50:01]
THAT WE'RE SEEING ON THIS MAP.I'M LOOKING ANOTHER HALF MILE AROUND.
AND, AND BECAUSE IT IS A MIXED USE AREA, IT IT IS VERY DEFINITELY BEING BUILT OUT AS A MIXED USE AREA.
AND THE CITY LINE PEOPLE LIVE IN CITY LINE.
I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S BUSY DOWN THERE.
IT COULD BE BUSIER, UH, BUT TO BE BUSIER, THEY'RE GONNA NEED MORE PEOPLE, MORE, MORE PEOPLE THAT'LL GO DOWN THERE AND FREQUENT THOSE BUSINESSES FOR US TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
SO WITH THAT SAID, I, ONE OF MY MAIN CONCERNS WAS, WAS NOISE.
THEY'VE ADDRESSED MY SHORT TERM CONCERN.
I'M NOT, UM, AS CONCERNED ABOUT IT LONG TERM.
ONCE THE BUILDINGS ARE BUILT, I THINK IT'LL BE ADEQUATELY SCREENED FROM THE NOISE.
UM, I DO APPRECIATE THE UNIVERSAL DESIGN.
UH, UM, I HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER WITH DISABILITIES AND THOSE ARE SIGNIFICANT ISSUES FOR US.
UH, AND SO I DO APPRECIATE YOUR COMMITMENT TO THAT.
AND, AND I, UH, I'LL HOLD YOU, I'LL HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE TO THAT BECAUSE THAT'S IMPORTANT IN OUR FAMILY.
UM, WITH ALL THAT SAID, I'M, I, UH, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS.
I THINK IT, I THINK IT FITS HERE.
UM, I THINK IT'S, UM, YOU KNOW, IF WE HELD OUT 10 MORE YEARS WOULD BE, ARE WE, ARE WE STEPPING OVER A REALLY GREAT PROJECT TO GET TO PERFECT IF WE DON'T APPROVE THIS? I, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT THAT, UH, WE HAVE NO REASON NOT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT.
UM, AND IN LIEU OF WAITING FOR SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE PERFECT, I DON'T, I DON'T SEE WAITING HELPS US.
UM, SO WITH THAT, WITH THAT SAID, I'M, I'M IN FAVOR.
I DON'T SEE ANY MORE NOTES UP.
UM, WELL, COMMISSIONER BRONSKI, BEFORE YOU GO, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT A COUPLE OF THINGS THOUGH.
UM, ONE IS BY SAYING THAT WE'RE NOT GONNA GET OFFICE SPACE THERE UNLIKELY TO, I STRUGGLE WITH THAT ONLY BECAUSE IT'S IN THE DEVELOPER'S BEST INTEREST TO GO FIND A TENANT.
AND IF WE'RE LIABLE TO GET A CORPORATE WHO WANTS TO BUILD A CORPORATE OFFICE BUILDING THERE, WHO'S TO SAY WE DON'T FIND A MID-SIZE CORPORATION WHO WANTS A 125,000 SQUARE FOOT OFFICE BUILDING? IT COULD BE ANY OF THOSE, RIGHT? IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A GIGANTIC CORPORATION MOVING INTO THIS LOCATION AS TO THE MIXED USE PIECE OF IT, UM, I AGREE FROM THE MOMENT THAT I SAW THIS, UH, I DIDN'T SEE THIS AS THE FRY SITE.
WHAT ARE WE DOING IN THIS CORNER? WHAT DO WE HAVE THERE ALREADY? AND WHAT CAN WE BRING IN TO HELP, UH, MAYBE JUMPSTART SOME OTHER TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT, UH, IMPROVE THE RETAIL THAT EXISTS AROUND IT? UM, AND WITH WHAT'S GOING ON AT COLLIN CREEK MALL AND THE DISCUSSIONS THERE AROUND SOME LOCAL AREA, RAPID TRANSIT, A CIRCLE OR LOOP BETWEEN DOWNTOWN PLANO, COLLIN CREEK MALL, BACK UP TO PLANO PARKWAY TO AVENUE UK AND BACK DOWN TO CENTRAL PLANO.
I MEAN, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN DISCUSSED AT THE COUNCIL LEVEL AT LEAST IS A TRANSPORTATION LOOP FOR THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
WELL, THIS WOULD BE RIGHT ON THAT ROUTE.
SO ANYONE LIVING HERE CAN EASILY AND QUICKLY GET TO DOWNTOWN PLANO.
THEY CAN WALK TO CITY LINE, THEY CAN GET OVER TO COLLIN CREEK MALL.
SO I DON'T SEE THEM BOUND IN THIS ONE AREA.
UM, SO I'M, I'M HOPEFUL AND CONFIDENT THAT WITH THE AGREEMENT THAT THE DEVELOPER MADE TO TIE THE PHASE TWO, UH, OR THE SECOND RESIDENTIAL SECTIONS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE RETAIL OR OFFICE SPACE, UH, I'M HOPEFUL AND CONFIDENT THAT THAT'S GONNA TURN OVER QUICKER THAN WE THINK.
UH, CERTAINLY THE PEOPLE LIVING HERE, UH, IT'LL BE, IT'LL BE, UH, EASY FOR THEM TO FIND THEIR WAY OVER TO COLLIN CREEK MALL BASED UPON EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN PROMISED AT THAT LOCATION IN TERMS OF MOVIE THEATERS AND RESTAURANTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
SO, UM, ANYWAY, I, I THINK, I THINK THIS IS A GOOD PROJECT.
UM, I THINK WE HELP REMOVE THE ISOLATION OF THAT APARTMENT COMPLEX RIGHT BEHIND IT, UM, BY PUTTING THIS IN.
AND THAT LITTLE EXTRA DENSITY HERE WILL HELP WHATEVER GOES IN AROUND US BE MORE SUCCESSFUL.
I THINK IT'S INTERESTING WHEN WE HAVE A PROJECT AND WE GET NEIGHBORS NEARBY THAT ARE OPPOSED TO IT, UM, WE'RE MORE OPPOSED TO IT.
IF WE GET NEIGHBORS NEARBY THAT ARE IN FAVOR OF IT, UH, THEN WE'RE MORE IN FAVOR OF IT.
AND IN THIS CASE, ALL THE NEARBY NEIGHBORS ARE IN FAVOR OF THIS AND SEE IT AS A WAY TO IMPROVE THEIR OWN BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES.
WE SHOULD BE TAKING THAT INTO CONSIDERATION TOO.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE CORE OF MINE, UH, SUPPORT FOR THIS MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, IS I THINK IT IMPROVES THE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYTHING ON THIS CORNER AND WILL HOPEFULLY SPUR SOME IMPROVEMENTS IN SOME OF THE, UH, SURROUNDING BUILDINGS, UH, UH, THAT'LL HELP THIS ENTIRE AREA IMPROVE.
UM, SO I'VE GOT A LOT TO SAY,
SO NUMBER ONE, UM, WHEN I CONSIDER R G M, UH,
[00:55:01]
FIVE, ESPECIALLY A AND B, UH, IT'S NICE TO SAY WE CAN LOOK BEYOND THE YELLOW, BUT, UH, R G M FIVE B SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED, UH, TO PROTECT THE CITIZENS OF PLANO FROM DO-OVERS, FROM DEVELOPING ONE THING, UH, PARTIALLY, AND THEN COMING BACK LATER AND SAY, YOU KNOW, UH, I COULDN'T REALLY DEVELOP, UH, AS SEVERAL COMMISSIONERS HAVE SAID THAT WE COULD, WE, WE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO DEVELOP THE, UH, OFFICE.AND SO WE NEED PERMISSION TO NOW DO AWAY WITH THE PROMISE WE MADE, UH, OF THE WHAT'S REQUIRED TO DO THAT SECOND SET OF MULTIFAMILY, AND WE GO AHEAD AND DO IT.
UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT COMMISSIONER CAREY BROUGHT OUT, UM, IS ANOTHER THING THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.
UM, I WAS RECENTLY HAVING SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE IN PLANO ABOUT, UM, THE CAREFUL BALANCE THAT IT TAKES TO NOT END UP WHERE WE ARE TODAY WITH RETAIL.
YOU KNOW, I THINK MOST PEOPLE IN PLANO WOULD AGREE THAT WE'RE OVER RETAIL.
AND SO WHERE DO WE SIT AS A CITY TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT MAKES PLANO SO SPECIAL THAT YOU'RE GOING OVERLOOK MOVING TO SOMETHING IN FRISCO OR MCKINNEY TO STAY IN PLANO, AND THAT WE DON'T FIND, UH, OURSELVES WHERE WE ARE, UH, OVER HOUSED OR WE HAVE TOO MUCH OF SOMETHING, UH, AS WE SIT TODAY WITH MULTIFAMILY.
UH, AND SO, UH, I CAN CLEARLY HEAR WHAT MR. CAREY, AS WELL AS MR. BRUNO, UH, WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THERE.
UM, I, I HAVE A QUESTION AND I'M GONNA KEEP GOING.
UH, FOR THE CITY STAFF FOR THE WALKABILITY PIECE, ARE THERE ANY PLANS OR POTENTIALS FOR TRAFFIC LIGHTS AT EXECUTIVE OR TAYLOR? I THINK IT IS TO MAKE THAT MORE WALKABLE TO THE REST OF THE CONNECTING AREAS? I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY, THERE'S NO TRAFFIC LIGHTS THAT WOULD BE BASED UPON, UH, I THINK THE VEHICLE TRIPS THAT WARRANTED.
THIS IS ME GETTING OUT OF MY DEPTH.
UH, I THINK THE APPLICANT AT ONE TIME, WE DID TALK ABOUT SOME PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS THERE, UM, FOR THE DEVELOPMENTS AS THEY CONNECT.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE'D PROBABLY EXPLORE WITH THEM IN THE FUTURE.
UM, NEXT, UM, WHEN I LOOK AT THE DASHBOARDS AND, UH, I BELIEVE THE DASHBOARDS WERE SOMETHING THAT, UH, EVERYBODY IN PLANO WAS COUNTING ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO GET, RIGHT? WHEN I LOOK AT THE DASHBOARDS AND I LOOK AT THE LAND USE, I LOOK AT THE HOUSING MIX, I LOOK AT THE DENSITY, AND I LOOK AT THE BUILDING HEIGHTS.
THIS PROPERTY CHECKS ALL THOSE BOXES.
I ADDITIONALLY, UM, AS I SPENT TIME ON THE PROPERTY TODAY AND VISITING WITH, UH, AURORA ONE 90, UM, MY THOUGHTS ON THIS PROPERTY HAS CHANGED.
AND, UM, NOT JUST AS IT RELATES TO E H A, BUT WHEN WE ESTABLISHED THE FINDINGS FORM IN 0.0, ONE OF THE KEY COMPONENTS OF THE FINDINGS FORM WASN'T THAT IT WAS A PUNISHMENT, BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY, UM, A SURGEON'S TOOL FOR P AND Z AS WELL AS COUNCIL TO LOOK AT THINGS AND SAY, THIS MAY NOT LINE UP WITH A HUNDRED PERCENT OF WHAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THOUGHT, BUT IT ACTUALLY GIVES US SOME THINGS THAT WE DIDN'T THINK ABOUT.
AND FRANKLY, UNIVERSAL DESIGN WAS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT I THINK WE DIDN'T GET ENOUGH OF AND TO HEAR WHAT THE DEVELOPER IS TALKING ABOUT.
AND TRUTHFULLY, I HOPE THAT A DEVELOPMENT OF THIS KIND RAISES OUR EXPECTATION AS A CITY OF WHAT WE'RE GONNA LOOK FOR IN UNIVERSAL DESIGN GOING FORWARD, WHETHER IT'S MULTIFAMILY, UH, NO MATTER WHAT IT IS, RIGHT? THIS, TO ME, LOOKS LIKE, UM, LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING THAT WE DIDN'T THINK OF IN THE COMPREHENSIVE
[01:00:01]
PLAN THAT WAS, UH, OUT OF WHAT, OUT OF WHERE WE COULD HAVE BEEN.SO AS I WEIGH ALL OF THIS, UM, YEAH, SO I AM EXCITED TO SAY THAT, UM, I'M WILLING TO SIGN MY NAME ON THE BOTTOM LINE FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE, UH, SOMETHING SPECIAL AND CREATING, UH, A LEVEL OF FUTURE EXPECTATION THAT ALTHOUGH DOESN'T MEET A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE COMP PLAN, BRINGS US SOMETHING OF HIGH ENOUGH VALUE THAT IS WORTHY OF, UH, ME SIGNING MY NAME TO A FINDINGS FORM AND SUPPORTING THIS.
UH, JUST A COUPLE OF EXTRA COMMENTS, AND I THINK EVERY, EVERYTHING THAT HAS MISSTATED IS WELL STATED AND REASONED AND, UM, APPRECIATE THE THOUGHT.
I, I, I'M NOT GONNA BE, UH, OBLIVIOUS ENOUGH TO THINK THAT IN 2050, THE ZONING COMMISSION HERE WILL GO, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? WE ARE OVERBUILD, MULTIFAMILY,
RIGHT? UM, BUT I THINK ONE THING WE ARE CALLED TO DO, I WOULD SPEAK FOR MYSELF THAT I'M CALLED TO DO, IS TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ALL THE INFORMATION.
COVID HAS DRAMATICALLY CHANGED THE VERY NATURE OF CITIES RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL EMPLOYMENT.
THE DAYS OF THE LEGACY CAMPUSES B CORPORATE CAMP ARE GONE, AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS, THAT SOMETHING ELSE MIGHT FORCE US BACK INTO THE ANTI COVID, MAYBE.
UM, BUT GIVEN ALL OF THE INFORMATION AND WHAT WE ARE CALLED TO DO TO STEWARD PLANO INTO WHAT IT WILL BE A MORE MATURE CITY, WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT, TO STEWARD PLANO INTO PROVIDING FOR THE RESIDENTS OF A MORE MATURE CITY.
AND IT'S WITH, WITH THAT IN MIND, IF, IF YOU ALLOW, MR. CHAIRMAN I MOVE, WE APPROVE, UH, ZONING CASE 20 20 22 DASH 0 0 9 AND THE ADJOINING CONCEPT PLAN, UH, AGENDA ITEM ONE B, WE'LL DO IT AS SEPARATE MOTIONS.
WE'LL DO IT AS SEPARATE VERY WELL.
SO WE HAVE A MOTION ON ITEM ONE A.
SO, UH, BEING THAT I'LL GET TO SIGN MY FIRST FINDINGS FORM, I WANT TO BE THE ONE WHO SECONDS THIS.
SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER ALI WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER BROSKY TO APPROVE ITEM ONE A BEFORE YOU VOTE.
ANY, ANY OTHER COMMENT QUESTION? ANYONE? OKAY.
YOU HAD NOTHING ELSE TO SAY? I GUESS SO.
THE VOTE YES IS TO APPROVE ITEM ONE A.
MR. BRONSKI, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE THE MOTION FOR ITEM ONE B
SO WE HAVE A HANG ON, JUST TO CLARIFY, THAT'S SUBJECT TO CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF ITEM A, EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT TO SAY.
SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BRONSKI TO APPROVE ITEM ONE B, SUBJECT TO CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE ZONING CASE WITH THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER TONG, PLEASE VOTE.
AND THAT AUTUMN ALSO CARRIES SIX TWO.
CAN WE TAKE A SHORT RECESS? UM, YEAH, WE'VE GOTTA DO FINDINGS ANYWAY, SO IT'S GONNA TAKE US ABOUT 10 MINUTES OR SO, FOLKS, SO IF YOU NEED TO MAKE A QUICK RUN ANYWAY, AND THEN, UH, YOU CAN DO THAT WHEN YOU GET BACK.
NOW'S A GOOD TIME FOR YOU TOO.
[01:17:51]
SORRY,[01:17:51]
I,[01:17:52]
WE WERE WAITING ON ONE PERSON, BUT I THOUGHT I'D OFFICIALLY RECESS THIS AS LONG AS WE WERE DOING BUSINESS.WE CAN'T REALLY RECESS, BUT NOW IT'S, IT'S EATING COOKIES AND M AND MS AND CHATTING.
[2. (PM) Public Hearing: Zoning Case 2023-009 - Request for a Specific Use Permit for Tattooing and Permanent Cosmetics on one lot on 0.1 acre located on the east side of Parker Road, 195 feet south of Premier Drive.

LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF PARKER ROAD, 195 FEET SOUTH OF PREMIER DRIVE.
PETITIONER IS SHING HOLDINGS, L L C.
THIS IS FOR LEGISLATIVE CONSIDERATION.
GOOD AFTERNOON AGAIN, COMMISSIONERS.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR TATTOOING AND PERMANENT COSMETICS IN AN EXISTING SHOPPING CENTER.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED CORRIDOR COMMERCIAL WITH SPECIFIC USE PERMIT NUMBER 3 7 371 FOR AUTOMOTIVE LEASING AND RENTING.
THE ADJACENT SURROUNDING PROPERTIES TO THE SITE ARE ZONED CORRIDOR COMMERCIAL AND DEVELOPED WITH RETAIL SHOPPING CENTER AND RESTAURANT USES.

AND THUNDERBIRD ESTATES NEIGHBORHOOD ON THE WEST SIDE OF THUNDERBIRD LANE IS ZONED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE SIX AND IS LOCATED 936 FEET WEST OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
THIS 1000 FOOT DISTRICT REQUIREMENT MAY BE REDUCED TO 300 FEET.
IF THE CITY COUNCIL FINDS THAT ISSUANCE OF CIVIC USE PERMIT WOULD NOT BE DETRIMENTAL OR INJURIOUS TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY OR GENERAL WELFARE, GENERAL WELFARE OR OTHERWISE OFFENSIVE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
STAFF HAS LOOKED AT THIS AND THERE ARE EXISTING COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES, MAJOR OR SECONDARY THOROUGH AFFAIRS AND MASONARY SCREENING.
WHILE SEPARATING THE PROPOSED S U P LEASE SPACE AND THE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS, THE PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENTS CREATE SIGNIFICANT BUFFERS FROM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND ALLOW FOR SEPARATION FROM THE PROPOSED USE.
THIS SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE EXPRESSWAY CORRIDOR CATEGORY.

THIS SUBJECT PROPERTY IS PART OF A LARGER SHOPPING CENTER SITE AND IS CURRENTLY CLASSIFIED AS RETAIL TYPE AS DEFINED BY THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

IF IT IS DETERMINED THE ISSUANCE OF CIVIC USE PERMIT WOULD NOT BE DETRIMENTAL OR INJURIOUS TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH SAFETY OR THE GENERAL WELFARE OR OTHERWISE OFFENSIVE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
COMMISSIONER RUTT, IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF.
UM, CAN YOU PUT BACK UP YOUR MAP WITH THE DISTANCE MEASUREMENTS PLEASE? JUST A, JUST A PROCEDURAL QUESTION.
UM, DO WE ALWAYS MEASURE IT AS THE CROW FLIES? BECAUSE IT, IT LOOKED, I MEAN, TO ME, YOU GO OUT THERE AND DRIVE AROUND THE TRAVEL DISTANCE FROM MANY OF THESE RESIDENCES TO THIS SUBJECT PARCEL ARE WELL, MORE THAN A THOUSAND FEET.
SO IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE, IT IS STATED TO MEASURE AS A STRAIGHT LINE FROM THE DOOR OF THE ESTABLISHMENT TO THE NEAREST RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.
'CAUSE THAT'S, UH, THAT WAS MY REACTION WHEN I WENT OUT THERE AND DROVE AROUND.
AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, I MEAN THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH ALL OF OUR DISTANCE, UM, MEASUREMENTS IN OUR ORDINANCE, RIGHT? IS FRONT CONSISTENT.
IT, IT VARIES BASED UPON THE REQUIREMENT, BUT THAT IS, WE DO USE THAT IN SOME PROVISIONS.
SO I GUESS MY QUESTION WOULD BE THIS.
IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, UH, A BAR DISTANCE FROM A CHURCH, IS IT THE DISTANCE YOU DRIVE OR IS IT BY STRAIGHT ON THAT ONE? IT'S STRAIGHT ON THAT ONE.
THE EXAMPLE IS THAT I AND ERIC THINK LIKELY OUR, FOR T O D DEVELOPMENT, WE HAVE A QUARTER MILE DISTANCE AND THERE'S NO STIPULATION AS TO HOW WE MEASURE THAT, RIGHT? INSTEAD OF DOING A STRAIGHT LINE FROM THE PROPERTY, SUBJECT PROPERTY TO THE TRAIN STATION, WE'VE, IN THAT PARTICULAR CASE, TOOK THE PEDESTRIAN PATH, WHICH IS A SIDEWALK.
I THINK I'M GONNA PUT THIS MORE IN RELATION TO THE CONCEIVE THE CONCEPTION OF A A SIN, RIGHT? IT'S A BAR, IT'S A SELLING ALCOHOL, IT'S A, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
IT'S, IT'S, IN MY OPINION, YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT PEOPLE GETTING ON TRAINS.
AND THIS IS CERTAINLY
BUT IT DOES BRING UP A QUESTION THAT I, THAT I HAD ABOUT THIS ACTUALLY, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A COUPLE MORE PEOPLE TOO, IS, UM, HOW LONG AGO HAD, HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE WE REVIEWED THE DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS PARTICULAR TYPE OF ACTIVITY RECENTLY? OR WAS IT PART OF OUR DISCUSSION AROUND DOWNTOWN AND THE APPROVAL OF A SHOP THERE? DID WE TALK ABOUT DISTANCE OR HAVE WE LEFT THAT IN THERE? MS. SEBASTIAN, DID WE LOOK AT THE GENERAL PROVISIONS AND DISTANCE MEASUREMENTS? I DON KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS WITH THE DOWNTOWN, BUT I DON'T THINK WE TALKED ABOUT GENERALLY HOW WE MEASURE THE ASSISTANCE
[01:25:01]
REQUIREMENTS.WITH WHEN WE, UH, UH, MODIFIED IT, UM, I GUESS LAST YEAR, UM, WE DID NOT DISCU LOOK INTO MODIFYING THOSE STANDARDS.
SO THEY'VE BEEN THE SAME, UM, LIKELY SINCE AT LEAST 2001.
I, I, I THOUGHT IT'D BEEN A WHILE AND I CAN REMEMBER A TIME WHEN SOMEBODY HAVING A TATTOO, UM, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE KIND OF WENT, OOH, LOOK AT, LOOK AT THIS GUY.
AND NOW EVERYWHERE YOU GO, EVERYONE HAS TATTOOS.
IT'S BECOME MORE OF AN EXPRESSION, SELF-EXPRESSION.
SO I'M WONDERING IF THEY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A BAD RAP, POTENTIALLY.
AND, AND MAYBE WE SHOULD RELOOK THIS IF COUNSEL IS WILLING AND HAS THE ABILITY TO REDUCE IT TO 300 FEET.
SHOULD WE LOOK AT, AT MAYBE JUST LOOKING AT THAT AS A, AS A POSSIBILITY? SO IT'S NOT RELATED TO THIS CASE, BUT I WAS JUST CURIOUS ABOUT HOW LONG THAT THOUSAND FOOT HAD BEEN THERE.
UM, COMMISSIONER OLLIE, YOU HAD YOUR I DID, SIR.
I JUST WANTED TO, AS, UH, I BELIEVE THE ONLY ORDAINED MINISTER ON THE PANEL, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT SINS, I JUST WANNA BE CLEAR THAT, UH, THE CONSUMPTION OF SIN, OR THE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL IS NOT THE SIN, IT IS THE LACK OF MODERATION AND ABUSE THEREOF.
BECAUSE JESUS TURNED, UH, WATER, WATER, WINE INTO WINE.
AND SO ALCOHOL AND THE CONSUMPTION THEREOF OKAY.
UH, BEFORE THIS TURNS INTO BIBLE STUDY, COMMISSIONER LEY, HEY, WELL, THANK YOU.
I I, I, I WASN'T EXPRESSING MYSELF CLEARLY.
COMMISSIONER LEY, LET'S, LET'S MOVE FORWARD.
PEOPLE ARE WAITING ON A DECISION.
MO MO MOST OF THE, THE QUESTIONS I HAD THE SAME QUESTION ABOUT AS THE CROW FLIES.
UM, BECAUSE ESSENTIALLY THIS IS SAYING FOR THIS INDIVIDUAL, BECAUSE THE TWO, UM, OPPOSING COMMENTS TO THIS, WE ARE ALL ABOUT CRIME, RIGHT? RIGHT.
SO THIS INDIVIDUAL WILL HAVE TO JUMP OVER A COUPLE OF BUILDINGS, RUN THROUGH TRAFFIC, DIVE AROUND, AND THERE'S A BANK, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, NOT FAR FROM THERE, WHICH, PARDON? THERE'S A BANK NOT FAR FROM THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION.
AS I MENTIONED THIS, THE WHOLE AREA IS AROUND, IS PRETTY MUCH DEVELOPED TO THE CORRIDOR COMMERCIAL STANDARDS WITH OTHER SHOPPING CENTERS, RETAIL RESTAURANTS.
AND HAVING WORKED FOR A BANK IN THE PAST, WE SECURE OUR, OUR PROPERTY
SO
BUT TO YOUR POINT, IT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING WE SHOULD EITHER DEFINE WHAT KIND OF, UH, ADJACENCIES NEED THE STRAIGHT CROW FLY AND WHAT KIND OF ADJACENCIES SITUATIONS NEED MORE OF THE, WHAT'S THE PROBABLE WALKABLE PATH, UM, TO GET THERE.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS? ALRIGHT.
UH, I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
UH, DO WE HAVE A PRESENTATION OR SPEAKERS ON THIS? WE DO.
WE HAVE FOUR OF THE APPLICANTS.
UH, AND THEN IF ROY AND RYAN DAWSON CAN MAKE THEIR WAY DOWN TO THE FRONT, UM, TO BE READY TO SPEAK.
AND THEN ONLINE WE HAVE, UH, STEVE SALTISS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE THIS EVENING.
TONIGHT WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR VOTE OF APPROVAL FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO OPEN AND OPERATE A FAMILY TATTOO STUDIO IN PLANO NEAR 75.
AND PARKER, THE NAME OF THE BUSINESS IS TWO GROOVY STUDIOS.
UH, I AM A, UH, REAL ESTATE BROKER AND, UH, FOUR DECADES OF EXPERIENCE.
I HAVE 33 DECADES OF EXPERIENCE IN COMMERCIAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, RETAIL SPECIALIZATION.
UM, I REPRESENT MY BROTHER ROY DAWSON AND WHO IS A, UH, CORPORATE, UH, REAL ESTATE BROKER AND HIS SON, MY NEPHEW, RYAN DAWSON, UH, WHO IS THE TATTOO ARTIST.
UH, ROY AND RYAN WILL BE PRESENTING TONIGHT.
AND STEVE SOLTIS, RYAN'S UNCLE, A PROFESSOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, WILL PRESENT AT THE, UH, CLOSING.
WE HAVE A SHORT POWERPOINT PRESENTATION THAT WILL ADDRESS SOME OF YOUR ISSUES REGARDING, UH, THE, UH, DISTANCE FROM RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY AS A CROWS FLIES DOOR TO DOOR, THOSE SORTS OF THINGS.
I THINK WE KIND OF KNOW WHERE PLANO STANDS RIGHT NOW, BUT I HAVE SOME AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS THAT WILL PROBABLY ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS FOR YOU.
UM, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 3 0 1 WEST PARKER, UH, SUITE NUMBER 2 1 3, UH, THE RUSSO VILLAGE SHOPPING CENTER.
IT'S LOCATION BEING THAT THE PROPERTY DOES NOT HAVE
[01:30:01]
ANY FRONTAGE ON PARKER OR HIGHWAY 75.IT IS LOCATED ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
UM, THE SPACE IS APPROXIMATELY 1,423 SQUARE FEET.
WE HAVE TWO RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS.
ONE IS DUE WEST OF A DUE WEST, A DISTANCE OF 936 FEET.
THE SUBDIVISION'S NAME IS THUNDERBIRD ESTATES.
THE OTHER RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT IS CALLED RUSSO PLACE ONE, WHICH IS NORTHWEST OF THE DISTANCE OF 617 FEET FROM THE STUDIO.
BOTH SUBDIVISIONS FROM THE STUDIO ARE EVEN FURTHER ISOLATED BECAUSE YOU MUST CROSS OVER PREMIER DRIVE.
SO AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT OUR POWERPOINT PRESENTATION.
SO, UH, CITY OF PLANET REQUEST FOR SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A FAMILY TATTOO STUDIO 3 0 1 WEST PARKER, UH, SUITE 2 1 3.
THIS IS THE RUSSO VILLAGE SHOPPING CENTER.
I'M HOPING EVERYBODY'S SOMEWHAT FAMILIAR WITH IT.
THIS IS THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING.
IF YOU CAN, UH, TAKE A LOOK AT, UH, THIS BUILDING PHOTOGRAPH.
IT SAYS MARINES TO THE RIGHT, IT SAYS ARMY, WHERE IT SAYS MARINES IS WHERE WE WILL ACTUALLY BE LOCATED.
UH, THE PILLAR THAT YOU SEE BEHIND THE WORD MARINE IS A ELEVATOR SHAFT.
SO WE ARE VERY KIND OF EXCLUDED BECAUSE AN ELEVATOR SHAFT IS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF OUR, OUR SUITE.
UH, THE MARINES AND THE ARMY, UH, SPACE IS CURRENTLY VACANT.
THAT'S JUST A BIGGER, BROADER VIEW OF THE SHOPPING CENTER.
SO YOU CAN SEE THERE'S QUITE A, UH, OFFSET DISTANCE FROM ANY STREETS OR BUYERS HERE.
WE'LL GET INTO THE, UH, DISTANCE.
SO WHAT WE DID ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, YOU'LL SEE WHERE THE V COMES TOGETHER.
SO YOU WILL SEE AS YOU CROSS OVER, LET'S SEE HERE.
YOU'LL CROSS OVER PREMIER, WHICH IS A 617 FEET.
SO YOU'LL SEE THERE ARE SEVERAL BUILDINGS, UH, YOU HAD TO FLY OVER TO GET THERE.
THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY, IT, THAT IS TO THE BACK OF A RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION, NOT TO THE FRONT.
IT'S NOT DOOR TO DOOR OR PROPERTY LINE TO PROPERTY LINE.
IT IS 617 FEET AS THE CROW FLIES.
IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER, UH, DEVELOPMENT THAT GOES ACROSS PARKER ROAD, THAT IS 936 FEET.
SO I HOPE THIS GIVES YOU A BETTER VISUAL OF HOW FAR AWAY WE ACTUALLY ARE FROM RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.
UM, THE NEXT VIDEO, LET'S SEE HERE.
THIS VIDEO, THIS AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH, WAS TAKEN AT ABOUT 400 FEET OF ELEVATION.
AGAIN, I'M JUST TRYING TO GIVE YOU THE PERSPECTIVE OF WHERE THE, UH, TATTOO STUDIO WILL BE IN RELATION TO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.
SO, DOWN IN THE LOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER IS A SUBJECT PROPERTY.
UH, AND YOU CAN SEE AS THE CROW FLIES, 617 FEET, OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE AND STREETS YOU HAD TO GO ACROSS TO GET TO IT.
SO IT, UH, DOESN'T APPEAR TO ME TO BE REALLY IN LINE IN VIEW OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES OR ANY SCHOOL OR CHURCH THAT WE'RE AWARE OF.
AND THERE I'M HIGHLIGHTING THE 617 LINEAR FEET FROM THE SPACE.
AGAIN, STARTING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE IS OUR LOCATION.
AND AS THE CROW FLIES STRAIGHT ACROSS 617 FEET, YOU CAN SEE YOU HAD TO GO ACROSS, I BELIEVE THAT'S CALLED AMERICA BANK.
THEN YOU HAVE TO GO ACROSS, UH, THE, THE ROAD THERE AND THEN THROUGH MORE COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES BEFORE YOU DO GET TO A RESIDENTIAL, UH, PROPERTY.
UH, THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
AND, UH, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE, UH, THE REST OF MY FAMILY COME UP AND SPEAK.
UH, ROY DAWSON, I BELIEVE WILL BE NEXT TO SPEAK AND, UH, APPRECIATE IT.
SIR, YOU HAVE ABOUT A REMAINING EIGHT MINUTES AND 50 SECONDS LEFT.
YOU HAVE A REMAINING EIGHT MINUTES AND 50 SECONDS LEFT TO SPEAK.
I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT OF PLAINTIFF'S LOS
[01:35:01]
RIOS NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE PAST 17 YEARS, AND I WANT TO EXPRESS MY DEEP APPRECIATION FOR OUR VIBRANT CITY AND THRIVING ECONOMY.WITH OVER 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS, AND IT IS AN ACTIVE CORPORATE REAL ESTATE BROKER, LICENSED STATE OF TEXAS, HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WITNESSING PLANOS GROWTH FIRSTHAND.
AS I APPROACH THE NEXT PHASE OF MY LIFE, I HAVE SET MY SIGHTS ON RETIRING FROM THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY AND FOCUSING ON MY FAMILY'S TATTOO BUSINESS WITH MY SON RYAN DAWSON.
I FIRMLY BELIEVE THERE'S ROOM FOR ANOTHER TATTOO STUDIO IN PLANO.
CONSIDERING THERE'S ONLY THREE ACTIVE TATTOO SHOPS IN PLANO AS RESPONSIBLE OWNERS, WE HAVE, WE, WE, UH, WE VALUE OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF PLANO AND ARE COMMITTED TO BEING GOOD NEIGHBORS.
WE'LL WORK CLOSELY WITH THE CITY AND STATE TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH ALL REGULATIONS AND GUIDELINES.
WE FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THIS BUSINESS WILL BRING CREATIVITY, EXPERIENCE, AND A VALUABLE SERVICE TO THE CITY OF PLANO.
AND WE EAGERLY ANTICIPATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY FOR YEARS TO COME.
WE HAVE SIGNED A LEASE WITH HAGGARD PROPERTY GROUP.
THE LEASE IS SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY THE SS U P.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, I'M ASKING THE COMMISSION TO APPROVE THE SS U P NOT FOR ME, BUT FOR MY ENTIRE FAMILY.
I LIVE IN DALLAS, TEXAS, AND I'M THE ARTIST IN THE FAMILY.
SHE MIGHT BE ABLE TO TELL, UM, I HAVE EIGHT YEARS TATTOOING EXPERIENCE AND LOOK TO OPEN A STUDIO HERE IN PLANO, TEXAS WITH MY FATHER.
UH, OUR STUDIO WILL BE A FATHER-SON VENTURE WITH A BACKING OF THREE OTHER ARTISTS.
UM, OUR BOOKS WILL BE OPEN QUARTERLY AND WE WILL BE AN APPOINTMENT-BASED STUDIO.
OUR GOAL IS TO ESTABLISH A PROFESSIONAL, SAFE, AND QUALITY-BASED TATTOO EXPERIENCE FOR THE RESIDENTS OF PLANO AND BEYOND.
NEXT WE HAVE, UH, STEVE SALTISS.
I'M, MY NAME IS STEVE SALTISS.
I'M BEAMING IN FROM LOVELY BOSWELL, GEORGIA.
UH, RYAN DAWSON IS, UH, PROUD TO SAY HE IS MY, MY NEPHEW.
UM, I MUST ALSO SAY I'M PROUD TO BE A 1979 GRADUATE OF PLANO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL.
UM, GREAT MEMORIES GROW GROWING UP IN PLANO.
I JUST WANT TO SAY A COUPLE OF WORDS ABOUT MY NEPHEW.
UM, IN HIS ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT.
I'VE HAD, UM, A FIRSTHAND PERSPECTIVE AND WORKING WITH RYAN OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS AS HE'S LAUNCHED HIS ARTISTRY.
AND, UM, I HAVE BEEN SO IMPRESSED WITH HIS ABILITY TO BUILD BRANDS, UH, CREATE INFLUENCE IN A POSITIVE WAY.
HE'S CREATED A PERSONA IN A BRAND, UH, IN THE INK MASTER SPACE THAT IS, UH, JUST BEEN INCREDIBLE TO WATCH OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS AND HOW HE'S DEVELOPED THAT.
UM, HE'S GOT A NUMBER OF KEY CLIENTS AND INFLUENCERS THAT ARE PART OF HIS, HIS NETWORK, INCLUDING N F L PLAYERS.
I HAD THE PLEASURE OF VISITING WITH FAMILY, UH, SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, AND WE WERE SITTING IN A LOCAL MEXICAN RESTAURANT AND A GENTLEMAN OUT OF THE BLUE JUST CAME UP AND APPROACHED RYAN AND SAID, I'M A BIG FAN OF YOUR WORK.
AND I JUST SEE THAT OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
AND IT'S REALLY SHOWING IN HIS, UH, IN THE CALIBER OF THE WORK HE DOES AND HIS ABILITY TO JUST REALLY CREATE A POSITIVE AND STIMULATING COMMUNITY.
I THINK HE WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO THE SMALL BUSINESS CITIZENRY OF PLANO.
UM, IN MY PAST LIFE AS HEAD OF EXECUTIVE AND C E O COMMUNICATION FOR THE COCA-COLA COMPANY HERE IN ATLANTA, I HAD THE GREAT PLEASURE OF COMMISSIONING SOME ORIGINAL ART FROM RYAN.
HE'S NOT ONLY A GREAT INK MASTER, BUT HE'S A FANTASTIC, UM, UH, SKETCH ARTIST AND PENCIL AND OIL AND ACRYLIC ARTIST.
AND HE DID SOME ORIGINAL CONTENT PIECES FOR US AT COCA-COLA THAT RESIDE IN VARIOUS EXECUTIVES OFFICE THROUGHOUT OUR, OUR TOWERS THERE AT NORTH AVENUE, AS WELL AS IN OUR CORPORATE ARCHIVES.
UH, RYAN'S WORK, UH, HIS ARTWORK ALSO RESIDES AT THE PRES FDRS PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY, UH, IN A LITTLE WHITE HOUSE IN WARM SPRINGS, GEORGIA.
UM, HE HAD A FEATURE, WE HAD A FEATURED EXHIBIT WITH HIS WORK AT, AT THE MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY NEW NARRATIVE FESTIVAL.
UM, HENCE ANOTHER CONNECTION TO DAK PRESCOTT.
SO I'VE JUST BEEN INCREDIBLY IMPRESSED WITH, UM, HIS ABIL, HIS, HIS ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT.
HIS ARTISTIC CREATIVITY IS FANTASTIC.
UH, HE COMES FROM A STRONG MORAL BACKGROUND
[01:40:01]
AND FIBER.HE IS SUPPORTED BY A TREMENDOUS FAMILY, AND I THINK HE WOULD BE A, A TREMENDOUS, UH, AND ADDITIVE, UH, MEMBER OF YOUR COMMUNITY.
I HAVE THE, UH, HONOR OF, UH, IN ADDITION TO RUNNING MY OWN BUSINESS, UM, HERE IN ATLANTA IN EXECUTIVE COMMUNICATION SPACE, I'M ALSO AN EXECUTIVE IN RESIDENCE, THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA DARDEN SCHOOL OF BUSINESS.
AND WHAT I, THE, THE ENTREPRENEURIAL ENERGY I SEE FROM RYAN ECLIPSES, UM, SO MANY OF THE BRIGHT YOUNG MINDS THAT I'M TEACHING AT ONE OF THE TOP M B A SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTRY.
SO I THINK YOU GUYS WOULD HAVE A, A REALLY GREAT ASSET AND ALLY AND SOMEONE THAT WOULD, THAT WOULD ACTUALLY BRING IN MONEY IN GOODWILL, UH, AND ARTISTIC CREATIVITY TO THE COMMUNITY.
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
ANY OTHER SPEAKERS? NO, WE DO NOT.
UM, OKAY, SO I GOT SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH QUESTIONS HERE, I'M ASSUMING FOR THE APPLICANT.
SO COMMISSIONER TONG, YOU WERE FIRST UP.
AND I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANTS AND I AM REALLY EXCITED TO SEE THIS THING IN PLANO.
WE DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF TATTOO, UM, STUDIOS.
AND, UH, UM, I HEARD THAT YOU HAVE VERY EXPERIENCED, I JUST WONDER IF YOU HAVE BROUGHT ANY PICTURES OF YOUR PAST WORK OR PAST STUDIOS THAT THE SETTINGS OR HOW THE ROOMS WOULD LOOK LIKE? YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THAT? UM, IT WOULD BE MAINLY KIND OF A OPEN FLOOR PLAN.
UM, NOT, SOMETIMES YOU'LL SEE KIND OF THE ROOM STYLE.
SOMETIMES YOU'LL SEE KIND OF PARTITIONS, BUT WE WOULD BE, UH, MAINLY KIND OF AN OPEN FLOOR PLAN.
UM, HAVE YOU RUN OR OWN YOUR OWN BUSINESS STUDIO BEFORE OR THIS THE FIRST ONE? THIS WILL BE THE FIRST ONE.
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER BROSKI.
UH, YEAH, SO I'VE GOT A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR RYAN.
WELL, SPECIFICALLY RYAN, YOU, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY JUST STAY THERE.
I MEAN, AT THE PODIUM,
THEY, THEY'VE BUILT YOU UP SO HIGH, ALL OF US WANT TO GET TO KNOW YOU.
SO, UH, COMMISSIONER BRONSKI, GO AHEAD.
UH, SO, UH, I WANNA FIRST SAY, UM, IT'S ALWAYS EXCITING TO SEE, UH, YOUNG PEOPLE WITH AN ENTREPRENEURIAL DESIRE AND, UH, YOUR FAMILY CERTAIN, CERTAINLY, UH, HAS A LOT OF VERY POSITIVE THINGS TO SAY.
UH, NUMBER ONE, UH, CAN YOU EX I'M STRUGGLING WITH THE IDEA OF A FAMILY TATTOO PARLOR.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN YOUR UNDER OF THE TEXAS ADMINISTRATIVE CODE 2 2 9 0.406, WHICH RELATES TO TATTOOING MINORS? RIGHT.
UM, SO WHAT, UM, I UNDERSTAND OF IT AS FAR AS IN TEXAS AND THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT GOES, UM, YOU, THERE'S ONLY A FEW THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE IF IT IS A MINOR AND IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE AN OFFENSIVE TATTOO, UM, GANG RELATED.
AND USUALLY YOU'RE GONNA SEE THAT WITHIN SHOPS TO BE SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO GET A COURT ORDER FOR.
BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING UNDER 18.
SO THE ONLY THING THAT YOU CAN TATTOO IS WITH THE APPROVAL OF, UM, THE PARENTAL FIGURE OR, UH, PERSON GUARDIAN.
YOU CAN TATTOO OVER THAT, BUT YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY TATTOO ON THEM OTHERWISE.
SO MY SECOND QUESTION THEN IS, UH, UH, OPERATIONALLY, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE FOR YOUR INDIVIDUAL PROCESS TO VERIFY AND DOCUMENT THE AGE OF SOMEBODY WHO, UM, COULD BE IN THAT AREA? HOW DO I, HOW DO I ENSURE THAT YOU'RE NOT TATTOOING SOMEBODY AND WHAT DOES YOUR PROCESS LOOK LIKE TO MAINTAIN THAT AND TO PROTECT THAT? RIGHT.
SO THE STATE HAS PAPERWORK THAT IS KIND OF A GUIDELINE.
I'M SURE YOU CAN KIND OF VARY IT IN CERTAIN WAYS, BUT GENERALLY THE STATE WILL HAVE LIKE A TEMPLATE THAT'S, UH, SPECIFIED FOR FILLING OUT, UH, WITH NAME, AGE, AND THEN, UM, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY A, LIKE A REQUIREMENT TO TAKE A PHOTOCOPY OF IT.
UM, BUT YOU DO GENERALLY, YOU DO SEE THE PAPERWORK WITH, UH, PHOTO COPY OF THE ID, WHICH IS USUALLY KEPT ON HAND FOR TWO YEARS.
AND YOU FEEL THAT YOU FEEL LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE GOOD HANDS ON AND YOU EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO PROTECT THE YOUTH IN PLANO
[01:45:01]
THAT ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING THE TATTOOS FROM, UH, GETTING SOMETHING THEY SHOULDN'T.I, I APPRECIATE YOUR, UH, UNDERSTANDING OF OUR, UH, ADMINISTRATIVE CODE AND HOW IT OPERATES.
AND, UM, ALTHOUGH I PROBABLY WOULD NEVER GET TATTOOED, I KNOW, UH, THE MAJORITY OF MY CHILDREN, UH, DO AND HAVE WHEN THEY BECAME ADULTS.
AND, UH, UM, THE OPTION FOR THAT, UH, FOR ME IS, UH, GREAT.
SO COMMISSIONER
ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE A QUESTION.
MIKE ASKED ALL THE SERIOUS QUESTIONS.
UH, UM,
I WAS GONNA ASK, I'VE HEARD IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO TATTOO ON VERY DARK SKIN.
HOW, HOW TRUE IS THAT
IT'S NOT LAND USE QUESTION IS A CURIOSITY,
I, I SUGGEST YOU, YOU LOOK HIM UP AND, UH, HAVE THAT DISCUSSION.
SO DO WE HAVE ANY LAND USE BASED DISCUSSIONS ON A TATTOO PARER IN THIS LOCATION? I DON'T SEE ANY.
I WAS GONNA SAY, HEY, 79 WILDCATS.
FIRST OFF, MR. BRUNO, THANK YOU.
UM, IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO GET A TATTOO, I THINK THAT'S HIS CHOICE.
I THINK IT'S FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
UH, FROM THE LAND USE STANDPOINT, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE, UH, THE SEPARATION.
I MEAN, FRANKLY, UH, I JUST DON'T SEE A LOT OF CROWS FLYING IN FROM THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS TO GET TATTOOS.
YOU KNOW,
UH, I THINK THE, THE SEPARATION IN THE BUFFERING IS ADEQUATE.
UH, COMMISSIONER TONG? UM, I WAS GONNA SAY THE SAME THING.
I FEEL LIKE IT'S, UH, HAS ADEQUATE DISTANCE FROM THE RESIDENTIAL AREA TO THE, UH, LOCATION OF THE PARTICULAR STUDIO.
AND ALSO IT'S KIND OF HIDDEN ON THE SECOND FLOOR BEHIND THE ELEVATOR SHAFT.
UM, THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS ABOUT PROCEDURE.
SO EVEN IF WE APPROVE TODAY, IT WOULD GO TO THE COUNCIL AND THE COUNCIL HAVE TO APPROVE AGAIN MM-HMM.
I THINK I'M IN IN FAVOR OF, AND I THINK, UM, SORRY, UH, LET ME ASK THE STAFF REAL QUICK.
I MEAN, 'CAUSE WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS BEFORE, BUT I MEAN, THEY HAVE A WHOLE HEALTH STANDARD TOO, AND THEY'RE SUBJECT TO INSPECTIONS, UH, FOR THAT PURPOSE, RIGHT? YEAH.
THEY HAVE A STATE HEALTH, UH, REQUIREMENTS.
I'M NOT SURE IF THE CITY HAS HEALTH REQUIREMENTS.
I, I BELIEVE THERE MAY BE, BUT THEY'RE YES.
REQUIRED TO MEET THOSE AS WELL.
AND I, I SAID CITY, I, I KNOW THEY'RE SUBJECT TO SOME, BUT I JUST WASN'T SURE WHO THE ENFORCEMENT ARM WAS, SO, OKAY.
IT DEPENDS PROBABLY THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
SO MY QUESTION IS, IS MORE OPERATIONAL.
UM, I CAN UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE WAY, SOME OF THE REASONS THAT YOU WOULD CALCULATE ONE THING ONE WAY AND ONE THING A DIFFERENT WAY.
BUT IF, UH, WE'RE THINKING ABOUT THE IDEA THAT OVERALL WE SHOULD GO FROM A THOUSAND TO 300, UM, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? OR IS THAT SOMETHING WE HAVE TO DO? OR IS THAT SOMETHING COUNCIL HAS TO DO? LET'S BRING THAT UP AS A SEPARATE DISCUSSION ITEM.
'CAUSE THAT'S UNRELATED TO TONIGHT.
TONIGHT WE JUST NEED TO DECIDE.
ALRIGHT, COMMISSIONER, UM, MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE, WE APPROVE.
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER TWO, SUBJECT TO CITY COUNCIL GRANTING A REDUCTION OF THE DISTANCE REQUIREMENT FROM RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS.
SO I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER OLLIE WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER BERNOFF TO APPROVE ITEM TWO, SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS AND STAFF REPORT, PLEASE VOTE THAT ITEM CARRIES EIGHT ZERO CONGRATULATIONS ON ANOTHER STEP FOR YOUR FAMILY BUSINESS.
[3. (DB) Public Hearing: Proposed 2023-24 Community Investment Program - Discussion and consideration of the proposed 2023-24 Community Investment Program (CIP) to ensure projects and programs are aligned with the Comprehensive Plan and other adopted master plans. Project #DI2023-015. Applicant: City of Plano (Legislative consideration)]
THREE, PUBLIC HEARING PROPOSED 20 23 24 COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF THE PROPOSED 20 23 24 COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM.C I P TO ENSURE PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS ARE ALIGNED WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND OTHER ADOPTED MASTER PLANS.
THIS IS FOR LEGISLATIVE CONSIDERATION.
I'M DREW BRONER, LEAD PLANNER WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
THIS ITEM IS A PRESENTATION OF THIS YEAR'S
[01:50:01]
PROPOSED COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM AND ANALYSIS OF ITS ALIGNMENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.I'LL START WITH AN OVERVIEW OF THE C I P ALIGNMENT PROCESS.
THEN WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM PARKS, ENGINEERING FACILITIES, AND PUBLIC WORKS TO PRESENT HIGHLIGHTS OF THEIR DEPARTMENT'S PROJECTS.
AND THEN I'LL CLOSE WITH KEY OUTCOMES OF THE PROJECT ALIGNMENT.
SO IN SUMMARY, THE C I P SERVES AS A FIVE-YEAR GUIDE TO PLANNING, BUILDING, OPERATING, AND MAINTAINING CAPITAL PROJECTS.
AND EACH YEAR THE COMMISSION CONFIRMS THAT THE PROPOSED ONE YEAR C I P PROJECTS ALIGN WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS SHOWN ON THE GRAPHIC.
UH, ON, ON THIS SLIDE, UH, THE C I P IS ONE OF THE PRIMARY IMPLEMENTATION PROCESSES THAT ADVANCE THE GOALS AND ACTIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GUIDES BUDGET PRIORITIES, AND THEN THE COMMISSION'S ROLE IS TO ASSIST IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN BY CONFIRMING THE ALIGNMENT OF THE C I P PROJECTS TO THE PLAN POLICIES.
AS A REMINDER, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS STRUCTURED INTO PILLARS, COMPONENTS, POLICIES, AND ACTIONS THAT ADDRESS A DIVERSE SET OF TOPICS THAT GUIDE PLANOS FUTURE.
YOU MAY REMEMBER IN PAST YEARS, THE C I P ALIGNMENT WAS PRESENTED ON HOW THE PROJECTS GENERALLY ALIGNED WITH THE THEMATIC GOALS OF THE PLAN.
AND A PREVIOUS ALIGNMENT ANALYSIS IS SHOWN HERE ON THE RIGHT, UH, THAT IDENTIFIED WHICH OF THE PLAN THEMES ALIGNED TO C I P PROJECTS.
THIS YEAR, THE FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY HAS BEEN UPDATED TO BETTER REPRESENT THE STRATEGIC WAY C I P PROJECTS ARE PLANNED, SELECTED, AND FUNDED.
AND SPECIFICALLY, ACTION F FI FOUR PROVIDES GUIDANCE TO THE COMMISSION ON HOW EACH YEAR'S C I P PROJECTS SHOULD BE MEETING ONE OR MORE OF SEVEN PRIORITIES SHOWN HERE ON THIS SLIDE.
SO THIS YEAR'S ANALYSIS LOOKS TO HOW THE ONE YEAR C I P PROJECTS ARE MEETING THE FOLLOWING PRIORITIES, STARTING WITH A ADDRESSING PRIORITY INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES DUE TO POOR CONDITIONS OR IMMINENT FAILURE.
SO THESE PRIMARILY INCLUDE MAJOR REPLACEMENT AND REPAIRS TO FIX CRITICAL ISSUES OR INFRASTRUCTURE AT ITS END OF LIFE.
AND AN EXAMPLE BEING A MAJOR STREET RECONSTRUCTION.
PROJECT B IS PROVIDING PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE, AND THIS INCLUDES REPAIRS OR UPGRADES TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE.
C IS IMPLEMENTING ASPECTS OF PLAN MAPS.
SO THESE INCLUDE NEW CONSTRUCTION OR RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS THAT COMPLETE AN UNBUILT ASPECT OF ONE OF THE MASTER PLAN MAPS, SUCH AS BUILDING A NEW TRAIL THAT'S IDENTIFIED ON THE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN.
MAP D IS ADDRESSING SPECIFIC GOALS OR ACTIONS IN DEPARTMENT STRATEGIC PLANS.
THIS INCLUDES PROJECTS THAT ADVANCE GOALS OR ACTIONS IN OUR VARIOUS CITY MASTER PLANS SUCH AS PARK RE RENOVATIONS OR UPGRADES THAT MEET ONE OR MORE GOALS OF THE PARKS MASTER PLAN.
AND THEN E, F AND G GUIDE PRIORITIZING PROJECTS THAT MEET VARIOUS STRATEGIC GOALS, INCLUDING PROMOTING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES SUCH AS THE COLLIN CREEK INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS, IMPLEMENTING TECHNOLOGY OR INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS AND SUPPORTING STRATEGIC REINVESTMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT SUCH AS THE PLANO EVENT CENTER INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS.
THE C I P ANALYSIS THAT WE'VE PROVIDED IN THE ATTACHMENT, SUMMARIZE THE ONE YEAR PROJECTS BY THEIR GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS TYPE AND LOCATION FUNDING BY DEPARTMENT AND EXPENDITURE CATEGORY AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ALIGNMENT WITH THE FI POLICY ACTION FOUR PROJECT TYPE INFORMATION SHOWS HOW MUCH FUNDING IS DIRECTED TOWARDS LARGER SCALE PROJECTS SUCH AS RECONSTRUCTION OR NEW FACILITIES VERSUS SMALLER MAINTENANCE RELATED PROJECTS, WHICH ARE LARGELY FUNDED BY CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUNDS.
FUNDING SOURCE INFORMATION IDENTIFIES HOW THE PROJECT TYPES ARE FUNDED ACROSS VARIOUS EXPENDITURE CATEGORIES, INCLUDING BONDS, CAPITAL MAINTENANCE, AND WATER AND SEWER FUNDS.
AND THEN WE PROVIDE DEPARTMENT SPECIFIC SUMMARIES FOR PARKS AND RECREATION, ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS AND FACILITIES.
THOSE THREE DEPARTMENT PROJECT GROUPS MAKE UP THE MAJORITY OF THE C I P, BUT THERE ARE A HANDFUL OF PROJECTS IN OTHER CATEGORIES THAT HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE OVERALL ANALYSIS.
AND THEN TO ILLUSTRATE HOW THE PROJECTS ARE EVALUATED AGAINST THE NEW FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY.
UH, SO AS THE ONE YEAR C I P WAS FINALIZED, WE MET WITH THE DEPARTMENTS TO REVIEW FOR CONSISTENCY WITH THE FI POLICY AND WHETHER THEY MEET ONE OR MORE OF THE ACTION PRIORITIES.
AN EXAMPLE PROJECT WOULD BE A COMMUNITY PARK RENOVATIONS PROJECT THAT INCLUDES A COMBINATION OF RENOVATING EXISTING PARK FACILITIES OR ASSETS, AS WELL AS REPLACING ELEMENTS.
SO THAT WOULD MEET BOTH A AND B OF THE ACTION, WHICH ADDRESSES CRITICAL ISSUES WITH EXISTING FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE AND PROVIDING PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE.
AND THIS, UH, PARTICULAR PROJECT EXAMPLE WOULD ALSO PROMOTE ONE OR MORE STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES OF THE PARKS MASTER PLAN.
SO IT WOULD, UH, BE SCORED IN THREE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF THE ACTION.
AND SO MOVING ON TO KEY OUTCOMES OF OUR ANALYSIS, UH, STARTING WITH A FUNDING OVERVIEW OF THE PROPOSED ONE YEAR C I P.
UH, SO FOR PROJECT TYPE, THE MAJORITY OF FUNDING GOES TOWARD EITHER MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OR MAJOR REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE, FOLLOWED BY NEW IMPROVEMENTS, AND THEN POLICY OR STUDY RELATED PROJECTS.
[01:55:01]
NUMBER OF PROJECTS, MAINTENANCE PROJECTS MAKE UP A LARGE MAJORITY FOR PROJECT LOCATIONS.ALMOST THREE FOURTHS OF PROJECTS HAVE A SPECIFIC LOCATION IN THE CITY, WHICH WE'VE, WHICH WE'VE SHOWN ON THE INCLUDED MAP.
AND ABOUT ONE FOURTH ARE CITYWIDE PROJECTS.
NEXT IS A DEPARTMENT SUMMARY OF PROJECT FUNDING.
ABOUT 60% OF FUNDING IS IDENTIFIED FOR ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS FOLLOWED BY PARKS AND THEN FACILITIES.
BUT WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE NUMBER OF CAPITAL MAINTENANCE PROJECTS, FACILITIES MAKES UP A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF PROJECTS FOR THIS NEXT YEAR.
NEXT SHOWS THE BREAKDOWN OF PROJECT FUNDING SOURCE WITH GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS FUNDING THE MAJORITY OF PROJECTS FOLLOWED BY THE CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUND.
AND THEN LASTLY, A DEPARTMENT SUMMARY OF PROJECT TYPES.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROJECTS MAKE UP THE MAJORITY OF PROJECTS FOR EACH DEPARTMENT, FOLLOWED BY MAJOR REPLACEMENT PROJECTS.
BUT THEN WHEN LOOKING AT THE FUNDING TOTALS FOR EACH DEPARTMENT, UH, MAJOR REPLACEMENT PROJECTS GENERALLY HAVE THE LARGEST TOTALS FOLLOWED BY FUNDING FOR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.
AND SO THAT WAS A, UH, QUICK OVERVIEW OF THIS YEAR'S C I P PROGRAM.
UH, SO I'LL NOW TURN IT OVER TO THE INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENTS TO PRESENT HIGHLIGHTS OF THEIR PROJECTS, AND THEN I'LL RETURN, UH, WITH A CONCLUSION OF THE PLAN ALIGNMENT SUMMARY.
BEFORE WE GET TO THE PARKS, GO AHEAD, COME ON UP.
I JUST, I WANTED TO APOLOGIZE FOR YOU GUYS.
I, I DIDN'T LOOK DOWN TO THE NON-HEARING ITEMS. I'M SURE YOU'RE WAITING FOR NUMBER NINE, SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.
MY NAME'S RENEE JORDAN, AND I'M THE PARK PLANNING MANAGER.
SO IN THE PARKS AND RECREATION, C I P, THERE ARE FIVE PROJECT TYPES OR FUND CATEGORIES WITH 94 PROJECTS TOTALING APPROXIMATELY 84.5 MILLION, REPRESENTING ABOUT A QUARTER OF THE TOTAL C I P.
SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THESE.
UM, THE SOLE ITEM IN THE RECREATION CENTER'S PROJECTS FUND IS A BECK RECREATION CENTER RENOVATION PROJECT.
THIS RECREATION CENTER FUNDING IS FOR CONSTRUCTION, AND THE PROJECT IS DELIVERED BY OUR FACILITIES DIVISION.
THE PARK IMPROVEMENTS FUND PROJECTS ARE THROUGHOUT THE PARK SYSTEM, AND I'LL HIGHLIGHT A FEW FOR YOU.
THE JACK CARTER PARK PROJECT WILL IMPLEMENT PHASE ONE OF IMPROVEMENTS AT THAT PARK, UM, BASED ON THE PARK SITE MASTER PLAN.
THESE IMPROVEMENTS WILL RE REPROGRAM AND RENOVATE THE FORMER MAINTENANCE SHOP AREA, ADDING TRAILS, REPLACING A RESTROOM AND RENOVATING SPORTS FIELDS.
THE LOS RIOS PARK PROJECT WILL CONSTRUCT NEARLY TWO MILES OF TRAIL, UH, CONNECTING THE SOUTHERNMOST TRAILHEAD OF BOTH THE COTTONWOOD CREEK GREEN BELT AND BOB WOODRUFF PARK.
COMMUNITY PARK RENOVATIONS WILL INCLUDE PROJECTS AT BOB WOODRUFF PARK TO REPLACE THE PLAYGROUND AND RESTROOMS ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDES.
AND TO ADD SHADE STRUCTURES AT THE DOG PARK AND TRAIL REPLACEMENT WILL RECONSTRUCT A SECTION OF THE CHISHOLM TRAIL UNDER SPRING CREEK PARKWAY.
THE CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUNDS SUPPORTS SMALLER PROJECTS THAT MAINTAIN, REPAIR OR RENOVATE ASSETS AND FACILITIES IN THE PARK AND REC SYSTEM.
TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, THIS FUND SUPPORTS OUR FOUR PERFORMING ARTS VENUES, 15 ATHLETIC SITES, MORE THAN 200 PARKS, AND MEETING IRRIGATION SYSTEMS. FIVE MILES OF LIVING SCREENS, 85 PARK SITES, 47 PUBLIC BUILDING SITE GROUNDS, AND FIVE RECREATION CENTERS AND MORE.
FUNDING IS ALSO INCLUDED IN THE CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUND FOR SEVERAL PROJECTS AT THE PLANO EVENT CENTER TO UPDATE INTERIOR LIGHTING, THE EXTERIOR COURTYARD AND STOREFRONT DOORS IN THE PARK FEE FUND.
THE LARGEST PORTION OF PARK FEE ANTICIPATED IS REVENUE.
THIS IS A RESULT OF THE CONSTRUCTION AT THE COLLIN CREEK REDEVELOPMENT SITE.
FUNDS WILL BE SPENT FROM OTHER PARK FEE AREAS ON TRAIL CONNECTIONS AT JACK CARTER PARK ON LAND OR IMPROVEMENTS AT THE PROPOSED ALMANAC DEVELOPMENT ON IMPROVEMENTS AT HARSH HORSESHOE PARK IN ADDITION TO RENOVATION AND ON ACQUISITIONS AND OTHER ZONES.
AND FINALLY, IN THE LAST SECTION OF THE PARK AND RECREATION, C I P, THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PROJECT IN THE DRAINAGE FUND NEXT YEAR IS THE DE OF BIG LAKE POND AND REPAIR OF THE WEIR REMAINING FUNDING.
FUNDING IS AVAILABLE FOR DESIGNS AND REPAIRS CITYWIDE AND AT LOCATIONS, INCLUDING ARBOR HILLS, PECAN HOLLOW, AND WILLOW CREEK PARK.
SO THIS CONCLUDES THE PARKS AND RECREATION, C C I P.
AND I COULD TAKE QUESTIONS AT THIS MOMENT IF YOU HAVE ANY.
DID YOU GUYS BUILD MONEY IN FOR AIR CONDITIONING FOR THE PARKS
UM, AND, AND LOOK, LOOKING AT, UH, YOUR BUDGET HERE, IT SHOWS, I THINK IN, I MUST BE READING, I'M, I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THIS.
UH, PARK FEES IN 20 23, 24, 6 0.2 MILLION DOWN TO 1.7 MILLION IN 24 25, AND THEN IT DROPS DOWN FROM THERE.
UM, WHY, WHY THE DROP OFF IN PARK FEES AND ENSUING YEARS? SO IN 23, 24, WE'RE REALLY ANTICIPATING COLLECTING,
[02:00:01]
UM, THE PARK FEE COMING IN FROM THE COLLIN CREEK REDEVELOPMENT.SO OUR BUDGET NOT ONLY INCLUDES EXPENDITURES, BUT REVENUES.
SO THAT WOULD BE A PICTURE OF THE REVENUE COMING IN.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF PRESSURE RIGHT NOW.
ALRIGHT, UH, CALEB THORNHILL, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING FOR THE CITY OF PLANO, AND I WILL GET TO IT.
SO, UH, ENGINEERING IS VERY BUSY AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A QUICK DISTINCTION.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS.
THERE'S SOME OBVIOUS REASONS, BUT A PROJECT COMES TO ENGINEERING WHEN IT IS TYPICALLY A FULL REPLACEMENT.
THE ASSET IS EITHER DETERIORATED TO A POINT TO WHERE YOU CAN NO LONGER MAINTAIN IT OR ON OTHER INSTANCES WHEN IT'S A NEW ASSET.
SO A NEW SIDEWALK, A NEW SCREENING WALL, UM, A NEW ROADWAY.
MOST OF THE, THE WALLS ARE PUT IN BY DEVELOPERS.
UH, MOST OF THE ROADS ARE PUT IN BY DEVELOPERS.
THERE ARE SOME, UH, OCCASIONAL ONES THAT WE DO, BUT WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS A DISTINCTION THERE.
UM, SO ENGINEERING HAS FOUR, UH, SPECIFIC FUND TYPES OR PROJECT TYPES.
STREETS IS THE MAIN ONE, AND THERE'S A LOT OF, UH, CATEGORIES IN THAT, AND I'LL GET TO THAT.
MUNICIPAL DRAINAGE, WATER AND SEWER.
WE ARE VERY BUSY, LIKE I SAID, ACTIVE PROJECTS 109 AND, UH, WITH THE TOTAL FUNDING NEXT YEAR OF 103 MILLION.
SO FROM, UH, A SUBTYPE, LIKE I SAID, THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE DO IN THE, THE STREET CATEGORY, CONSTRUCTION DESIGN CAPACITY, THOSE ARE OUR INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS TYPICALLY INCLUDE RIGHT TURNS, LEFT TURN LANES, UH, SAFETY COMPONENTS, TRANSPORTATION, UM, HAS A LOT OF INITIATIVES NOT GETTING TO THOSE.
AND THEN WE HAVE WHAT WE CALL A MISCELLANEOUS, THAT'S THE SCREENING WALLS, BRIDGE REPAIRS, SIDEWALKS, UH, AND THERE'S SOME OTHER ITEMS IN THERE AS WELL.
SO THE BIGGEST ONE, UH, THAT OUT OF THIS CATEGORY, AND IT TAKES UP FOR THE MAJORITY OF IT, OR AT LEAST HALF OF IT, UH, IS THE STREET CONSTRUCTION.
UH, WE'VE GOT, UH, AS THE CROW FLIES, WHICH WAS A VERY COMMON TERM I HEARD RECENTLY HEARD, WE PUT NEARLY 21 MILES OF NEW PAVEMENT IN LAST YEAR.
NOW THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH WATERLINE PROJECTS, UH, WHEN WE COME IN.
UM, BUT WE FINISHED, UH, OR I'M SORRY, WE COMPLETED 10 PROJECTS LAST YEAR, WHICH IS A, A GREAT YEAR FOR US FOR JUST STREETS.
DOESN'T INCLUDE THE OTHER FUND CATEGORIES.
UH, AND WE PROJECT, UM, TO START EIGHT NEW ONES NEXT YEAR.
SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS MAP, YOU'LL SEE THE BLUES, EITHER A PROJECT THAT'S ALREADY COMPLETED OR IT'S ACTUALLY ONGOING.
YOU'LL SEE THERE TO THE, THE LOWER LEFT HAND, I'M SORRY, LOWER RIGHT HAND OF YOUR SCREEN.
IF YOU'VE BEEN OUT THERE, YOU'LL SEE THAT.
WE EXPECT TO FINISH THAT THIS FALL.
THAT'S ONE OF THE BIGGER, UH, STREET, UH, PROJECTS THAT WE'VE HAD.
UH, THE RED WILL BE NEW PROJECTS THAT WE WILL START BIDDING AND AWARD AND START CONSTRUCTION NEXT YEAR.
SO THE OTHER COMPONENT WITH THE CONSTRUCTION, UH, THE OTHER DISTINCTION WITH ENGINEERING IS TYPICALLY, UM, OR WE ALWAYS HAVE A DESIGN COMPONENT WITH OUR PROJECTS.
PUBLIC WORKS SOMETIMES DOES AND SOMETIMES DOESN'T.
AND DAN WILL TALK A LITTLE MORE IN DETAIL ABOUT THAT.
BUT WE'VE GOT 2.3 MILLION OF FUNDING FOR DESIGN.
THERE'S A LIST OF THE PROJECTS THERE.
UM, BUT THAT'S A, A REQUIREMENT WE HAVE FOR ALL OF OUR PROJECTS.
UH, 15TH STREET HERE LOCALLY, UH, DOWNTOWN.
UH, AND THERE'S A LIST OF OTHER ONES YOU'LL SEE ON THE MAP.
UH, AGAIN, BLUE BEING PROJECT SET.
UH, WE'VE EITHER FINISHED DESIGN OR THEY WILL BE ONGOING FROM LAST YEAR.
AND THEN THE RED WOULD BE THE NEW ONES THAT'LL BE COMING ON BOARD.
UM, UH, WE'VE GOT 15 ACTUALLY, OR I'M SORRY, GET TO THE RIGHT SLIDE.
UH, YOU CAN SEE IT'S PRETTY MUCH SPREAD OUT, BUT OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A FOCUS ON THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS, AND THAT'S REALLY JUST BECAUSE OF THE AGE.
UH, A LOT OF THAT INFRASTRUCTURE WAS PUT IN 30 PLUS YEARS AGO.
UH, BUT THERE ARE SOME OTHER LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
SO THE CAPACITY IMPROVEMENTS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THAT'S OUR INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.
THERE'S REALLY TWO MAIN REASONS WE DO THOSE.
UH, FIRST AND FOREMOST IS SAFETY.
IF WE HAVE A SAFETY CONCERN IN THE INTERSECTION THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE IMPROVEMENTS.
AND THEN THE OTHER COMPONENT IS THE CONGESTION MITIGATION.
SO IF THERE IS TRAFFIC, AGAIN, WE NEED TO ADD THE ADDITIONAL LEFT TURN LANES, ADDITIONAL RIGHT TURN LANES.
I THINK IT PROBABLY LOOKS EVEN BETTER HERE.
UM, WITH THE CASE OF THE BLUE AND RED MEASLES THROUGHOUT THE CITY, UH, WE'RE HAVE A LOT OF ACTIVE PROJECTS.
[02:05:01]
LOCATIONS LAST YEAR.UH, WE'VE GOT 10 THAT WERE GOING INTO DESIGN AND WE'LL HAVE 15 UNDER CONSTRUCTION NEXT YEAR.
SO, UH, IF IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A LOT UNDER CONSTRUCTION, THERE REALLY IS.
SO TRANSPORTATION I MENTIONED EARLIER, THEY HAVE, UH, INITIATIVES ONGOING.
THEY HAVE A, A FUNDING FOR 10 MILLION NEXT YEAR.
BUT THERE'S A, A WHOLE HOST OF ACTIVE PROJECTS THAT THEY HAVE GOING ON.
UH, RECENTLY COMPLETED TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CENTER, UH, NEW INTERSECTION DESIGNS, UH, THE PHASE FOUR FIBER.
UH, WE'VE FINISHED THREE PHASES ALREADY.
AND PHASE FOUR WILL EXTEND THE FIBER TO, UM, UH, OVER A HUNDRED NEW INTERSECTION OR NOT NEW, UH, EXISTING INTERSECTIONS.
THAT INCREASES OUR CAPABILITY TO SEE THE TRAFFIC AT THOSE LOCATIONS TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO MITIGATE TRAFFIC IF THERE'S A SAFETY COMPONENT.
UH, VEHICLE DETECTION IS A TRAFFIC CONGESTION.
ALL OF OUR, UH, EXISTING CABINETS AT THESE INTERSECTIONS ARE OLD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED.
UH, THAT'S THE BIG SILVER BOX THAT YOU'LL SEE.
THAT REALLY IS THE, THE BRAINS OF THE INTERSECTION.
SO THEY HAVE A LOT OF ACTIVITY GOING ON.
AND THEN THE MISCELLANEOUS, UM, THE MAJORITY OF THIS REALLY COMES FROM BRIDGE INSPECTION, SCREENING WALLS.
WE HAVE OTHER ITEMS IN THE BUDGET IN CASE SOMETHING COMES UP.
THERE ARE A FEW LOCATIONS WHERE LIGHTING WAS NOT PROVIDED.
I THINK MARSH LANE WAS THE LAST ONE WE DID YEARS AGO ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN.
UM, SIDEWALK GAPS IS ANOTHER ONE THAT WE LOOK AT.
UH, WHETHER IT WAS DUE TO DEVELOPMENT STANDARD CHANGING OVER THE YEARS OR WHATEVER THE REASON MAY BE.
IF THERE'S GAPS IN THE CITY WE LOOK TO, TO FILL THOSE GAPS FROM A SAFETY COMPONENT, THE SCREENING WALLS IS PROBABLY THE BULK OF THIS.
AND AGAIN, GOING BACK TO MY EARLIER COMMENT BETWEEN ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS.
PUBLIC WORKS WILL MAINTAIN SCREENING WALLS UNTIL THEY ARE BASICALLY UN UNMAINTAINABLE.
UH, IF IT'S JUST REPLACING BRICKS OR REPLACING PANELS, THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT.
BUT IF IT GETS DOWN TO THE FOUNDATION, THE WALL IS, UH, IN DANGER OF FALLING OVER OR FALLING APART, THAT'S WHEN ENGINEERING WILL COME IN AND JUST REPLACE IT.
WE HAVE A STANDARD WALL THAT WE PUT THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
UH, THE OTHER COMPONENT IS BRIDGE INSPECTION.
WE GET REPORTS FROM TXDOT EVERY TWO YEARS.
UH, THEY'LL GIVE US A GRADE ON OUR BRIDGES AND WE'LL GO OUT AND MAKE MISCELLANEOUS, UH, ADJUSTMENTS.
UM, ANY EROSION CONCERNS, UH, AT THE BRIDGE DECK, ANYTHING LIKE THAT? MUNICIPAL DRAINAGE, UH, IT LOOKS LIKE A REALLY BIG NUMBER AND IT IS, BUT IT ALSO INCLUDES COLLIN CREEK MALL.
UH, AND THAT'S, UH, WAS A $23 MILLION PROJECT WHEN IT WAS BID, AND WE RECENTLY JUST ADDED AN ADDITIONAL 5 MILLION TO THAT.
SO IT'S UP OVER, UH, $28 MILLION.
UH, WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS ON THAT, WE EXPECT TO HAVE THAT DONE, BUT IT'LL BE SOMETIME NEXT SPRING BEFORE WE COMPLETE THAT.
UH, THE REMAINDER OF THE PROJECTS IN THIS ARE USUALLY, UH, SOME KIND OF EROSION CONTROL.
YOU SEE THE GIAN STRUCTURES BEING PUT IN WITH THE PICTURE, UH, MISCELLANEOUS DRAINAGE OR FLOODING COMPLAINTS THAT WE GET TO MAKE, UH, ADJUSTMENTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
UH, SO THE LAST TWO I HAVE ARE WATER AND SEWER.
UH, AGAIN, I MENTIONED THE MILES OF, UH, STREET THAT GO IN.
TYPICALLY WHEN WE COME INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, WHETHER IT'S BECAUSE OF THE POOR CONDITION OF THE PAVEMENT OR THE POOR CONDITION OR JUST THE DATED MATERIAL CAST IRON, UH, BEING ONE OF THOSE FOR A WATER REHAB, WE WILL GO AHEAD AND JUST TAKE OUT THE UTILITIES, UH, OR UPDATE THE UTILITIES AND UPDATE THE PAVEMENT AS WELL.
SO WE'VE GOT A LOT OF MILES OF WATERLINE GOING IN.
UH, YOU CAN SEE THERE FROM THE BUDGET, $15 MILLION FOR WATER REHAB.
BUT WE TRY TO GET IN THERE, GET EVERYTHING UP TO DATE, AND THEN GET OUT OF THERE AND HOPEFULLY NEVER COME BACK AT LEAST FOR A LONG TIME.
UM, THE BIG INITIATIVE WE HAVE RIGHT NOW WITH SEWER IS, UH, LINES ALONG P G B T, EXCUSE ME.
THERE'S, UH, SEVERAL LINES THAT ARE EXPERIENCED IN SURCHARGING, WHICH CAN LEAD TO SAFETY CONCERNS, OVERFLOWS, UH, UH, ODOR ISSUES.
SO WE HAVE, UH, HUGE INITIATIVE ALONG THE P G B T CORRIDOR, UH, BASICALLY FROM, I BELIEVE IT'S COIT ALL THE WAY OVER TO ALMA THAT WE'RE, UH, ADDING ADDITIONAL LINES THERE TO TAKE CARE OF THAT SURCHARGING.
UH, WE'VE GOT LINES PLANNED FOR SPRING CREEK AS WELL.
SO THIS IS ACTUALLY ABOUT DOUBLE THE NUMBER OR A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT, THAT WE NORMALLY HAVE FOR SEWER, BUT WE HAVE A, A LOT OF PROJECTS GOING TO CONSTRUCTION NEXT YEAR.
I BELIEVE THAT IS MY LAST SLIDE.
IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE FOR ME? I DON'T SEE ANY.
[02:10:01]
EVERYONE WENT BEFORE.UH, MR. BRONSKI GOES, WERE YOU THE BRAIN CHILD BEHIND THE SOCIAL MEDIA POST WITH JENNIFER LAWRENCE EATING THE HOT WINGS? AND THAT'S HOW PEOPLE FEEL WHEN THEY LEARN THAT IT TAKES TWO YEARS TO COMPLETE PARKER ROAD CONSTRUCTION.
UH, IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT, I WANNA WRITE THAT ONE DOWN.
I'LL GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT ONE.
IT'S, HEY, IT'S LAND USE, IT HAS TO DO WITH STREET REPAIR.
MR. BRONSKI, CROW'S FLYING AND JENNIFER LAWRENCE
ANYTHING ELSE?
SO, UH, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GREAT WORK YOU, UH, DO AND, UH, ARE PLANNING TO DO.
SO MINE IS KIND OF A SEMI TWO-PART QUESTION ABOUT THE MAINTAINABLE, UH, SCREENING WALLS.
AND IT WAS A LIVING SCREEN, UH, THAT WAS REPLACED WITH A, A BRICK SCREEN.
SO I'LL TRY TO ANSWER THAT AND I MAY CALL IT MS. RENEE AT SOME POINT, BUT A LIVING SCREEN VERSUS THE MASONRY SCREEN AT THE TIME THAT IT'S PUT IN, IT'S REALLY UP TO THE DEVELOPER WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.
UH, THEY HAVE THE OPTION, AS LONG AS THERE IS A SCREEN THERE, THEY CAN PUT EITHER ONE.
UM, SO WHERE WE DO HAVE LIVING SCREENS, THAT'S REALLY, UM, THAT WAS THE OPTION THAT WAS CHOSEN AT THAT TIME.
THERE ARE TIMES WHERE YEARS GO BY THAT LIVING SCREENS GET HARD TO MANAGE OR BECOME FALLING APART, DON'T GET THE PROPER VEGETATION, UH, AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD PETITIONS TO REPLACE THOSE.
AND SO WE WILL GO INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SAY, THIS IS WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD CHOSE WHEN IT FIRST CAME IN.
FOR US TO CHANGE IT, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO VOTE ON IT.
IF THEY DO APPROVE THAT, LIKE THE ONE YOU MENTIONED, WE DO COME BACK WITH THE A MASONRY WALL.
THERE ARE SOME NEIGHBORHOODS THAT DO NOT WANT IT REPLACED.
SO IT'S REALLY DEPENDENT ON, UH, WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD END UP CHOO, UH, ENDS UP CHOOSING.
SO ARE THERE ANY SPECIFIC STANDARDS TO SAY WHEN A LIVING SCREEN WOULD BE UNMAINTAINABLE? SO THAT'S WHERE WE WILL PARTNER WITH OUR PARKS DEPARTMENT.
UH, THEY MAINTAIN THE LIVING SCREENS LOOKING, MAKING SURE SHE'S STILL SHAKING HER HEAD.
UM, AND IF THEY GET TO A POINT TO WHERE IT'S JUST NOT MAINTAINABLE, AND I KNOW THEY'RE MAKING, TAKING A HUGE INITIATIVE RIGHT NOW TO GO IN THERE AND BE AS PROACTIVE AS POSSIBLE.
UM, BUT THERE'S NOT REALLY A A OKAY AT THIS POINT WE GOTTA REPLACE IT WITH THE WALL.
UH, IT'S REALLY DEPENDENT ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO DRIVE THAT.
SO I, I WILL SAY AT THE ONE I MENTIONED ON CUSTER, UH, AS SOMEBODY WHO WALKS WHENEVER THE WEATHER IS BELOW A THOUSAND DEGREES, UM, THE LIVING SCREENS CAN SOMETIMES BE VERY DIFFICULT MM-HMM.
AND THEN, UH, YOU KNOW, GOING BACK TO ONE OF THE ISSUES WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, UH, AS IT RELATES TO UNIVERSAL DESIGN, PEOPLE WITH WHEELCHAIRS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, UH, AND THEIR MOBILITY TO BE ABLE TO NAVIGATE, UH, LIVING SCREENS JUST WHEN THEY'RE OUTGROWN A LITTLE BIT MM-HMM.
AND SO, UH, YEAH, I'M, UH, I'M HAPPY THAT WE'RE DOING THAT.
UM, AND UH, AGAIN, I JUST, I APPRECIATE YOUR WORK ON TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, SPECIFICALLY MY QUESTIONS, THE, THE SCREENING WALLS AND SO FORTH, UH, ARE MAINTAINED APPROPRIATELY AND REPLACED AS NEEDED.
COMMISSIONER S THANK YOU CHAIRMAN, UM, JUST COMPLIMENTS PRIMARILY 102 PROJECTS AT A TIME.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DO THAT, SO KUDOS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW WHEN YOU SLEEP.
UM, UH, BUT I, THIS MAY SOUND SARCASTIC, BUT IT'S REALLY NOT.
UM, ALL THE WORK ON PARKER ROAD COORDINATING THAT TO BE ALL DONE AT ONE TIME.
BECAUSE I CAN CHANGE MY TRAFFIC ROUTE FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND KNOW THAT IN SIX MONTHS IT'LL BE AWESOME.
IT'S A LITTLE, WELL THAT'S, IT'S A LITTLE TOUGH RIGHT NOW, BUT REALLY SERIOUSLY, Y'ALL ARE WORKING BASICALLY ALL THE WAY DOWN THAT STREET, WHICH IS GREAT.
APPRECIATE IT'S, I THAT THAT'S, THAT'S A VERY TEAM EFFORT.
DAN, I'M SURE IS GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE INVOLVED, COMMUNICATIONS, PUBLIC WORKS, ENGINEERING STUFF.
I CAN TELL IT WAS INTENTIONAL.
SO I I SERIOUS SINCERELY DO APPRECIATE THAT WE'RE GONNA RIP THAT BANDAID OFF
[02:15:01]
SERIOUSLY.THE FIRST PART IS, UM, IF WE WERE GOING TO REPLACE ALL THE TELEPHONE POLES OR POWER LINE POLES ALONG THE MAJOR STREETS, WOULD THAT BE PART OF THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT OR FACILITIES OR PUBLIC WORK? WHICH PART, WHICH DEPARTMENT WOULD THAT BE BE PART OF? UM, THAT WOULD LIKELY FALL TO ENGINEERING? THE CHALLENGE WITH THAT IS THAT WOULD BE AT THE COST OF, TO THE CITY OF PLANO TO DO THAT.
THOSE ARE ALL WITHIN THE STREET RIGHT OF WAY PER OUR FRANCHISE UTILITY AGREEMENTS.
ENCORE, AT T FRONTIER SPECTRUM CHARTER, WHOEVER IT WOULD BE, UM, ARE ALL WITHIN OUR RIGHT OF WAY.
AND IF WE ASK THEM TO REMOVE THEIR POLES AND LOWER UNDERGROUND, THEY WOULD SAY, ABSOLUTELY.
YOU FIND US A SPOT AND UH, PAY US AND WE'LL DO IT.
AND I DON'T EVEN, I CAN'T EVEN GIVE YOU A NUMBER OF WHAT THAT WOULD COST THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
NOW THEY ARE REQUIRED TO DO UNDERGROUND IN THE ALLEYS, BUT ALONG THE, THE ARTERIAL ROADWAYS, THEY GO OVERHEAD.
YOU ANSWERED MY SECOND QUESTION ALREADY.
UH, SIMILAR QUESTION ALONG THOSE LINES.
I THINK IT'S COSTA AND HEDGE HOOKS, UH, WHERE THE STREETS, IF YOU'RE ON THE FAST LANE, YOU IS A RUDE AWAKENING.
UM, I THINK THAT'S PRESTON, IT'S MM-HMM.
I THINK THEY'RE ACTUALLY STARTING TO WORK ON THAT.
YEAH, MY QUESTION WAS SIMILAR.
IS THAT PUBLIC WORKS OR IS THAT ENGINEERING WHO TAKE CARE OF IT'S NOT A NEW STREET.
IT'S A, YEAH, THE ONE WE HAVE GOTTEN COMPLAINTS ABOUT IS PRESTON AND HEDGE OAKS.
IT'S, I THINK IT'S WHITE ROCK CREEK JUST SOUTH OF THERE.
UM, THAT PRESTON IS TXDOT, SO THAT'S TDOT, UH, CUSTER AND HEDGE OAKS I HAVE NOT HEARD BEFORE.
WHAT WOULD TYPICALLY HAPPEN IS PUBLIC WORKS WOULD GO OUT AND LOOK AT IT AND IF IT'S A BRIDGE STRUCTURE, UM, SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT THEY COULD DO OR IF IT'S A FAILURE WITH THE BRIDGE ITSELF, YOU KNOW, THE, UH, SLAB IS SEPARATING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THEN ENGINEERING WOULD COME IN AND UH, DO A REPLACEMENT PROJECT FOR IT.
GO LOOK UP THE JENNIFER LAWRENCE THING.
THE CITY POSTED IT, SO IT'S FUNNY.
OKAY, NEXT PAUL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.
PARKLAND FACILITIES DIVISION MANAGER.
SO FACILITIES, UM, WE HAVE THE SMALL BUDGET, BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF PROJECTS.
UM, A LOT OF IT'S MAINTENANCE BASED.
SO WE HAVE 127 TOTAL PROJECTS AND OUR TOTAL FUNDING OF THE YEAR IS 42 MILLION LITTLE OVER, WHICH REPRESENTS 12% OF THE OVERALL C I P PROJECT.
OF THAT 42 MILLION, RIGHT NOW WE ARE AT 16 MILLION FOR BOND LEVEL PROJECTS.
THOSE ARE SPECIFIC PROJECTS THAT WERE PART OF THE 2021 BOND REFERENDUM.
AND I'LL GET INTO MORE DETAIL ON SOME OF THOSE IN THE FOLLOWING SLIDES.
AND THEN THE OTHER IS 25 MILLION IS OUR C I P, WHICH ARE MORE MAINTENANCE REPLACEMENT PROJECTS OF AGING INFRASTRUCTURE, WHETHER THAT'S A ROOFTOP ROOFTOP UNIT FOR H V A C CARPET AND A FLOOR.
UM, ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT.
LIGHTING FOR MORE E ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING.
TWO HIGHLIGHTED PROJECTS THERE THAT I DON'T GET TOO MUCH DETAIL, BUT MOST OF THAT BUDGET IS FOR, UM, REPLACEMENT IN UPGRADING OF STUFF.
BUT TWO OF 'EM, WE CHOSE TO USE C CMF FOUR WAS CARPORTS AT BOTH OUR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER AND OUR NEW NORTHWEST POLICE SUBSTATION TO PROTECT, UM, FIRST RESPONDER VEHICLES FROM HAIL.
AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IS, UM, RENOVATIONS AT THE POLICE HQ.
SO THE ROOM WE'RE STANDING IN, UM, EVERYBODY'S CURIOUS, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET IT GOING? WE HAVE SAW, WE HAVE, UM, CLOSED THE CONTRACT AND WE ARE WORKING CURRENTLY WITH THE CONTRACTOR TO CLOSE OUT ALL THE SUBCONTRACTS AND GET ALL THE MATERIALS SUBMITTALS APPROVED AND MATERIALS ORDERED.
RIGHT NOW WE ARE THINKING WE WILL START IN THE SUMMER OF 2024.
WE'LL DISPLACE THIS MEETING AS WELL AS THE COUNCIL MEETING TO THE DAVIS LIBRARY TEMPORARILY WHILE IT'S BEING REPAIRED.
AND WE'RE, SO WE'RE TAKING THE APPROACH OF GET ALL THE LONGEST LEAD ITEMS, GET THEM IN HAND OR AT LEAST KNOW EXACTLY WHEN WE'RE GONNA GET THEM.
SO WHEN WE DISPLACE Y'ALL, WE DISPLACE Y'ALL FOR THE SHORTEST PERIOD OF TIME.
[02:20:01]
THAT WAY.WE'RE NOT SITTING THERE GOING, WOW, LOOKS MOSTLY DONE, BUT WHAT ARE YOU WAITING ON? WELL, LIGHTING'S NOT IN OUR, THE CRESTRON SYSTEM THAT DRIVES THE AVS NOT IN.
UM, AND THEN WE EXPO WE EXPECT TO BE DONE HOPEFULLY BY THE SPRING OF 2025.
FIRE STATION FIVE ADDITIONS AND RENOVATIONS.
IT'S, UM, GETTING ALMOST INTO CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS.
IF NOT INTO CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS.
UM, IT'S A COMPLETE RENOVATION OF ALL THE EXISTING SPACES.
UM, WE'RE TRYING TO TAKE A HYBRID APPROACH 'CAUSE IT WAS VERY COST PROHIBITIVE 'CAUSE IT'S SUCH A SMALL SITE TO TRY TO RENOVATE IT WHILE THEY'RE STILL OCCUPYING IT.
UM, FIRE HAS TOLD US THEY NEED TO REMAIN ON ONSITE AND TO KEEP THEIR RESPONSE TIMES UP.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT A HYBRID APPROACH WHERE THE BAYS, THE THREE BAYS THAT ARE THERE NOW, WILL STAY OPEN.
WE'LL MOVE THEM OUT OF THE RESIDENTIAL, PUT THEM IN RESIDENTIAL TRAILERS IN THE BACK CORNER AND THEN ADD ON TO IT AND RES RE RENOVATE THE EXISTING AREAS.
WE'RE LOOKING TO INCREASE IT FROM 10 TO 12 BEDS, WHICH WILL ALLOW US TO PUT A FULL-TIME MID-UNIT THERE, PLUS TWO MORE BAYS THAT HELP WITH THE STORAGE.
CURRENTLY THEY HAVE HAZARD HAZMAT RESPONSE VEHICLES THAT SIT OUT IN THE OPEN.
WE'RE TRYING TO GET THAT ALL UNDERCOVER.
RENEE I THINK TALKED ABOUT POSSIBILITY OF THE FUNDING AND HER NUMBERS, BUT WE'LL BE, UM, LEADING THE BUILDING ON IT.
RIGHT NOW WE ARE ABOUT OUT OF SCHEMATIC DESIGN AND GOING INTO DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND WE ARE LOOKING TO OVERSIZE IT SLIGHTLY SO THAT WE CAN GROW INTO IT.
IT'S TAKING THE PLACE OF TWO EXISTING PARKS, MAINTENANCE BUILDINGS, AND UM, WE ARE REALLY WORKING HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT IT BLENDS WITH THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE SITE THAT'S AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF LOS RIOS AND PARKER.
AND UM, ALSO WE ARE LOOKING TO TRY TO WORK IN A MASTER PLAN.
IF YOU CAN SEE ON THAT PICTURE IN THE KIND OF TOP RIGHT OF THE RENDERING, THAT'S A PARKS TRAIL HEAD IMPROVEMENT WE'RE TRYING TO PUT IN THERE.
THAT'LL ADD A LITTLE BIT OF PARKING TO THE PARKS TRAIL HEAD PLUS A RESTROOM FOR FOLKS TO USE.
UM, AGAIN, RENEE TALKED ABOUT THE FUNDING.
FIRST AND FOREMOST, THIS PROJECT IS REALLY BEING DRIVEN BY THE FACT THAT MULE AND BECK IS OVER 15 YEARS OLD.
SO THE FINISHES, THE EQUIPMENT, THE ROOFING IS ALL NEARING THE END OF ITS LIFESPAN.
SO A LOT OF IT, INCLUDING AQUATICS ELEMENTS, ALL HAVE TO BE WORKED ON.
SO THAT'S REALLY A BULK OF THAT PROJECT.
BUT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO WHILE WE'RE THERE IS MAKE SURE THAT WE ADDRESS ALL THE ACCESSIBILITY, INCLUSION, UM, TRY TO EVEN IMPROVE WAY ABOVE WHAT ANY KIND OF STANDARDS WOULD REQUIRE US.
WE'RE TRYING TO ADD SOME NEW EXCITING AQUATICS FEATURES AND ALSO TRYING TO ADD MORE GENDER NEUTRAL FAMILY STYLE CHANGING ROOMS WHERE IT'S A SINGLE, YOU KNOW, PRIVATE ROOM.
WE'RE ADDING MORE OF THOSE 'CAUSE WE'VE HAD QUITE A FEW PEOPLE ASKED FOR IT.
AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE LONG LIST OF ALL THE DIFFERENT UPGRADES THAT WE'RE NEEDING TO DO TO MAINTAIN THE FACILITY.
26 MILLION OF CAPITAL MAINTENANCE THIS YEAR ALONE FOR FACILITIES.
WHAT DOES THAT GET US? WE HAVE $8.3 MILLION OF CONTROLS UPGRADING OUR JOHNSON CONTROLS FOR ALL OF OUR BUILDINGS, PLUS REPLACING ALL OF OUR AGING H V A C UNITS.
SO YOU CAN SEE ONE HERE AND ANOTHER ONE OF OUR BUILDINGS BEING FLOWN IN BY A CRANE.
$7.8 MILLION OF GENERATOR UPGRADES.
THIS IS THE SECOND HALF OF GETTING 100% POWER GENERATION.
OUR FIRST RESPONDER BUILDINGS COMBINING WITH OUR, WHAT WE CALL PHASE TWO OF OUR GENERATIONS WHERE WE'RE ADDING MUCH MORE POWER GENERATION TO LIKE OUR REC CENTERS IN PLANO CENTER TO ACT AS WARMING STATIONS.
SHOULD WE GET ANOTHER WINTER STORM, YURI, WHERE WE LOSE THE GRID FOR TWO WEEKS.
UM, IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE'VE GOT FURNITURE REPLACEMENT, AGING FINISHES, LIKE I SAID, CARPET, PAINT, STUFF LIKE THAT.
UM, 2.8 OF FACILITIES IMPROVEMENTS.
THAT MIGHT BE ONE OF OUR DEPARTMENTS COME TO US AND THEIR BUSINESS REQUIRES SOME RENOVATIONS IN THEIR SPACE TO MAKE THEM MORE EFFICIENT.
AND THEN I TALKED ABOUT THE OTHER TWO HIGHLIGHTED AND THEN JUST 300,000 OF JUST MISCELLANEOUS OTHER REPAIRS THAT NEED TO BE DONE THAT WHEN WE SAY REPAIRS, IT'S USUALLY SOMETHING THAT ITS LIFESPAN IS GOING BEFORE WE THOUGHT.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET IT DONE BEFORE THEN.
IT'S MORE, MORE THAN PREDICTED MAINTENANCE.
Q DO YOU ANY QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONER BRONSKI? UH, YEAH, SO GOING BACK TO THE SLIDE THAT TALKED ABOUT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, UH, STATION FIVE.
SO YOU MENTIONED IN THERE, UM, STORM SHELTER.
UH, IS THAT STORM SHELTER THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THERE? IS THAT GONNA BE THE NEW
[02:25:01]
I C C? YES, SIR.YEAH, I CCC 500 REQUIRED IN IN THE I B C 20 20 20 14 ACTUALLY.
UM, WE HAVE ONE CERTIFIED STORM SHELTER IN THE CITY RIGHT NOW.
WHEN WE BUILT THE NEW NORTHWEST, OR WE NOW CALL IT THE GREG RUSSIAN SUBSTATION.
THAT ONE WHEN WE BUILT THAT, IT HAS A CERTIFIED, THIS WOULD BE OUR SECOND.
SO I KNOW A FEW YEARS AGO FRISCO WAS TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THEIR SCHOOLS AND RETROFITTING SOME OF THAT BEING YES.
WHAT PROCESS HAVE WE DECIDED ON TO RETROFIT INTO THIS? SO IT'S TRIGGERED BY CODE MM-HMM.
I THINK IT'S
SO IF WE WENT IN AND REMODELED AND REFRESHED FINISHES WITHIN A SPACE, IT'S NOT TRIGGERED, BUT WHEN WE ADD SQUARE FOOTAGE, IT'S TRIGGERED.
AND NOW WE HAVE TO, AND IT, IT'S, MY QUESTION WAS WHAT PRO HAVE YOU DECIDED ON WHICH PROCESS? I, I KNOW THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT PROCESSES TO DO RETROFITS MM-HMM.
SO IT'S VERY, VERY HARD TO GET A, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A RETROFIT CERTIFIED STORM SHELTER.
YOU'D HAVE A VERY, VERY STRONG STRUCTURE THAT WAS OVERBUILT TO BEGIN WITH, TO.
SO THE STORM SHELTER YOU'RE PUTTING IN HERE THEN IS GONNA BE A BRAND NEW? YEAH.
SO ON THE FAR LEFT HAND OF THIS SLIDE WHERE YOU CAN BARELY SEE IT, WE'VE ADDED A WHOLE NEW END OF THE BUILDING CLOSEST TO, I THINK IT'S A P N C BANK.
THE BACK HALF OF THAT IS A HARDENED STORM SHELTER.
'CAUSE I, UH, I DO BUSINESS IN THE CITY OF RICHARDSON AND I KNOW THEY MENTIONED TO ME THAT THERE'S NOT A SINGLE, UH, STORM SHELTER OF THIS LEVEL, UH, IN THEIR ENTIRE CITY MM-HMM.
SO I'M VERY EXCITED TO SEE, UH, THESE GETTING PUT IN.
AND I HOPE AS WE GO ACROSS THE CITY THAT WE SEE THESE ABSOLUTELY BEING PUT AT ALL THE FIRE STATIONS.
I CAN TELL YOU WE HAVE STATION EIGHT.
I MENTIONED IT, IT WAS BARELY IN THE VERY BEGINNING OF MY PRESENTATION.
IT'S ONE OF OUR NEXT BOND LEVELS.
WE'RE GONNA BE PUTTING ONE IN THERE AND THEN WE'RE TALKING FOR THE 2025 BOND, SOME OTHER FIRE STATIONS.
SO WE'D BE DOING THAT AS WELL AS POSSIBLY A NEW POLICE HQ.
SO YEAH, EACH ONE, ANY FIRST RESPONDERS BUILDING, THAT'S, THAT'S OUR TRIGGER IS THE CITY.
YOU HAVE HOSPITALS, HEALTHCARE AND YOU HAVE SCHOOLS.
THOSE ARE THE THREE MAIN COMPONENTS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE STORM SHELTERS.
OKAY, MR. TO, UM, I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS REGARDING, UM, KIND OF A NEW ENERGY SOURCE.
THEY LOOK JUST LIKE SHINGLES AND THEY'RE VERY ENERGY EFFICIENT.
UH, I WONDER IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S IN OUR PLAN OR IS IS SOMETHING THAT WE GENERALLY DO OR DO NOT CONSIDER.
SO WE DO HAVE STORM, WE DO STORM SHELTER, SORRY.
WE DO HAVE SOLAR PANELS IN PLACE AS WE SPEAK.
UM, I WANNA SAY IT'S FIVE FACILITIES WE HAVE, WE HAVE SOLAR PANELS ON, AND EVERY TIME WE LOOK AT A FACILITY WE LOOK TO SEE IF IT'S RIGHT.
UM, AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE ALWAYS LOOK AT.
HONESTLY, I THINK ONE OF OUR THINGS RIGHT NOW IS WE WANT THE BATTERY TECHNOLOGY TO GET SLIGHTLY BETTER MM-HMM.
UNIVERSAL DESIGN HAS BEEN, UH, BROUGHT UP FROM A PRIVATE DEVELOPER PERSPECTIVE MM-HMM.
BUT IS THERE A PLAN TO LOOK AT THE CITY'S FACILITIES WRIT LARGE AND APPLY SOME KIND OF UNIVERSAL DESIGN FRAMEWORK AS TO AS WE GO ALONG, RETROFITTING, UPGRADING, REFINISHING, THINGS OF THAT NATURE? SO I'LL START OFF WITH INCLUSION AND A D A I HEARD YOU HAVE CHILDREN ON THE SPECTRUM.
SO WE'RE PART OF THE CLUB TOGETHER.
UM, WE HAVE, WE'VE LOOKED AT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR FACILITIES.
WE HAVE WHAT WE CALL THE TRANSITION PLAN.
WE'VE ACKNOWLEDGED EVERYTHING WE HAVE WITHIN OUR CITY FACILITIES THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY UP TO THE A D A OR T A S.
AND AND WITHIN THAT PLAN WE HAVE WHEN WE WOULD PLAN TO FIX WHATEVER THAT ISSUE MIGHT BE.
UM, IT COULD BE THAT, YOU KNOW, IN 2025 WE PLAN ON DOING A BOND RENOVATION ON THIS.
THAT'S WHEN WE WOULD GET TO IT.
OR WHEN THE NEXT TIME WE WOULD LOOK AT THIS FACILITY, SAY IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS ONLY RENOVATED 10 YEARS AGO, IT WOULD BE THE NEXT TIME WE WOULD DO IT.
BUT A LOT OF THEM WE DO LOOK AT.
YOU KNOW, UM, IF IT'S A SMALLER RESTROOM LIKE THIS, THIS BUILDING WE'VE GONE THROUGH AND RENOVATED ALL THE RESTROOMS.
[02:30:01]
SO IT'S A BUILDING BY BUILDING AND IT'S USUALLY A DEPARTMENT BY DEPARTMENT WHERE OBVIOUSLY WORK MORE HAND IN HAND WITH MORE PUBLIC FACING DEPARTMENTS LIKE LIBRARIES AND PARKS AND REC FOR THE REC CENTERS.SO IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE BUILDING USE.
BUT YEAH, WE DEFINITELY DO THAT.
DAN PRENDERGAST, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS HERE.
TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF OUR 2324 C I P, UH, WE'VE GOT A TOTAL OF 109 PROJECTS, UH, AND A FUNDING OF JUST UNDER $99 MILLION FOR NEXT YEAR.
UH, WE HAVE THREE MAIN PROJECT TYPES THAT WE DO.
STREET IMPROVEMENTS ARE BY FAR OUR LARGEST PIECE.
AND THEN WE HAVE WATER AND WASTEWATER AS WELL.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT STREET FUNDING, THERE'S TWO MAIN AVENUES THAT WE HAVE TO FUND OUR PROJECTS.
AND IT'S BOND FUNDING THAT'S JUST UNDER $56 MILLION FOR NEXT YEAR.
AND THEN C M F FUNDING AT $31.5 MILLION FOR A TOTAL FUNDING OF $87.4 MILLION.
I'M GONNA START FIRST WITH THE BOND PROJECTS.
WE'VE GOT TWO MAIN TYPES OF PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE.
WE'VE GOT THE ARTERIAL CONCRETE REPAIR AND OVERLAY PROJECTS SCHEDULED AT $28.5 MILLION FOR NEXT YEAR.
THESE ARE PROJECTS WHERE WE GO THROUGH ON A LARGE STRETCH OF ROAD SIX LANE DIVIDED ROAD AND REPLACE ALL THE DAMAGED CONCRETE AND THEN PROVIDE A THREE QUARTER INCH THIN OVERLAY TO PROTECT THAT CONCRETE AND KEEP WATER FROM GETTING IN THE JOINTS AND DAMAGING THE, UH, SUBGRADE ON THE MAP HERE, HERE'S WHERE WE KIND OF BEND.
HERE'S WHERE WE ARE AND HERE'S WHERE WE'RE GOING WHEN IT COMES TO OUR ARTERIAL OVERLAYS.
THE AREAS IN GRAY, THERE HAVE BEEN OVERLAID ALREADY.
THE BIG PROJECTS WE HAD THIS PAST YEAR WERE COY ROAD, KIND OF IN THE CENTER OF YOUR SCREEN.
UH, LEGACY DRIVE FROM CUSTARD TO 75 AND PLANO PARKWAY DOWN ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF TOWN.
THE AREAS IN GREEN WILL BE OVERLAID HERE IN ABOUT A MONTH OR SO.
SO THAT'S PART OF THIS YEAR'S C I P BID ALSO MOVES INTO NEXT YEAR'S C I P.
UM, AND THERE ARE TWO PROJECTS THAT WE BID, UH, WEST AND AND EAST.
WE HAD HEDGE OAKS ROAD FROM KUWAIT OVER TO UM, CUSTER.
WE HAD PARKWOOD BOULEVARD, UM, AND THEN WE HAD PARKER ROAD FROM THE WEST SIDE LIMITS UP TO PARKWOOD BOULEVARD.
NOW ON THE EAST, WE'VE GOT PARKER ROAD FROM THE EAST SEA LIMITS TO SPRING CREEK PARKWAY.
WE'VE GOT LOS ERGOS BOULEVARD AND PLANO PARKWAY FROM THE AC LIMITS UP TO LOS RIOS.
SO A LOT OF OVERLAYS ARE GOING DOWN THIS YEAR.
UM, AND THEN IN THE ORANGE, A LOT OF THESE PROJECTS HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW.
WE'VE ALL TALKED ABOUT PARKER ROAD.
UH, WE DID AN EAST AND WEST PROJECT AND HAD IT FILLED IN HERE IN THE CENTER WITH THE WATER MAIN PROJECT THAT CALEB'S WORKING ON TOGETHER.
SO AS THOSE PROJECTS MOVE INWARD, UH, NEXT YEAR WE'LL DO MORE OVERLAYS FOR THOSE AS WELL.
UM, WE HAVE PLANO PARKWAY'S ALSO GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
UH, WE JUST BID INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY INTO TWO SECTIONS TO GET IT DONE FASTER.
SO THERE'S A NORTH AND A SOUTH WORKING AT THE SAME TIME.
UM, SO THAT WILL BE AN OVERLAY IN THE FUTURE.
AND THEN, UM, I PUT LEGACY IN BLUE AND PARK IN BLUE AS WELL BECAUSE THOSE ARE ON THE C I P.
BUT WE HAVE TO FINISH HEDGE COKES FIRST FOR LEGACY.
AND WE'VE GOTTA FINISH, UH, PARKER ROAD FIRST FOR PARK BOULEVARD.
UM, THE MAP COVERS PRETTY MUCH THE ENTIRE CITY OF PLAN AS WELL.
WE WANT TO GET ON THE WEST SIDE, NORTH SIDE, SOUTH SIDE, AND EAST SIDE SO EVERYONE GETS TO EXPERIENCE, UH, THE NEW ROADWAYS.
UM, THE OTHER BIG COMPONENT FOR THE BOMB PROGRAM IS A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND ALLEY REHAB THAT'S AT $27 MILLION FOR NEXT YEAR.
THESE ARE PROJECTS WHERE WE GO IN ABOUT A ONE SQUARE MILE ZONE AND WE REPAIR ALL THE DAMAGED STREET CONCRETE, THE SIDEWALK CONCRETE, AND THE ALLEY CONCRETE.
AND THEN WHEN WE'RE DONE, WE SEAL ALL THE JOINTS AS WELL.
SO EVERY PIECE OF PAVEMENT GETS THE MAINTENANCE THAT IT NEEDS THERE ON THESE STREET PROJECTS AND THEY GO STREET BY STREET.
THIS MAP HERE SHOWS ALL OF THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE IN GREEN AND RED ARE NEXT YEAR'S PLAN PROJECTS.
A LOT OF THE GREEN PROJECTS HAVE BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR A YEAR AND A HALF, TWO YEARS, AND THEY'LL PROBABLY FALL OFF SOMETIME IN THE MIDDLE OF NEXT FISCAL YEAR.
UM, BUT WE'RE KIND OF IN THAT PEAK MOMENT IN THE BOMB PROGRAM NOW.
WE'VE GOT ALL OF OUR PROJECTS FIRED UP AND THERE'S A LOT OF WORK GOING ON AS WE'VE SEEN, YOU KNOW, AROUND THE CITY.
UM, FOR STREETS, THESE ARE BASICALLY THE SAME PROJECTS I JUST TALKED ABOUT, BUT ON A SMALLER SCALE.
SO WE MAY HAVE A THOUSAND FOOT OR 2000 FOOT SECTION OF ARTERIAL THAT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED.
THAT'S DONE WITH THE WORK ORDER BASED PROJECT, NOT BIDDING IT OUT SEPARATELY, UH, TO GET THAT WORK DONE.
UH, WE ALSO HAVE JOINT CEILING UNDER SEALING IN THIS PIECE HERE.
AND THEN SCREENING WALLS, WE TALKED ABOUT, UH, IF A SCREENING WALL, IF A CAR HITS A PANEL ON A SCREENING WALL, PUBLIC WORKS GOES IN AND REPLACES IT.
IF THE FOUNDATION IS IN GOOD SHAPE, BUT THE BRICK'S NOT PUBLIC WORKS CAN GO REPLACE THE BRICK.
AND THAT'S THROUGH C M F FUNDING.
IF THE FOUNDATION'S IN BAD SHAPE AND IT'S LEANING OR CRACKED OR WHATEVER, THEN IT GOES TO CALEB FOR A FULL REPLACEMENT AND BOND FUNDING.
SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW THAT PROJECT WORKS.
ALSO IN C M F FUNDING, WE'VE GOT TRAFFIC ITEMS, UH, PAVEMENT MARKINGS AND BUTTONS, STREET CONDITION INVESTIGATIONS, STREET LIGHTING, TRAFFIC GUARDRAILS, AND TRAFFIC SIGN REPLACEMENT.
NEXT WILL BE OUR WATER PROJECTS AT JUST OVER $6 MILLION.
UH, ONE OF THE BIGGER ITEMS HERE IS THE WATER SYSTEM INSPECTIONS.
THAT'S ABOUT $2 MILLION FOR NEXT YEAR.
UH, SOME OF OUR VERY, VERY LARGE DIAMETER WATER REMAINS, I'M TALKING 72 INCH OR 60 INCH WATER MAINS ARE IN THAT 30 40 YEAR LIFESPAN OR, UH, TIMEFRAME.
RIGHT NOW, IT'S TIME TO INSPECT 'EM AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT SEEING ANY SIGNS OF FAILURE, BECAUSE IF ONE OF THOSE FAILS, YOU HAVE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE.
[02:35:01]
NOT ABLE TO KEEP WATER IN THE CITY.SO WE'RE STARTING, UH, THAT, THAT INSPECTION PROGRAM NEXT YEAR WITH NORTH TEXAS TO LOOK AT OUR VERY LARGE LINES.
AND IT'S ABOUT $2 MILLION FOR ABOUT 10 MILES OF WATER MAIN.
UH, WE ALSO HAVE REGULATORY THINGS LIKE LIGHT AND COPPER INVESTIGATIONS.
UM, AND THEN WE HAVE OTHER THINGS THAT LOOK AT THE HEALTH OF OUR WATER SYSTEM LIKE, UM, LEAK DETECTION, UH, AND PUMP STATION REHAB AS WELL.
SO ALL THOSE PROJECTS THERE KIND OF MAKE UP THAT $6 MILLION FOR OUR WATER.
C I P AND FINALLY I THINK IS WASTEWATER.
UH, THIS REALLY FALLS IN LINE WITH OUR CAPACITY MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PLAN CALLED C M O M.
UM, THIS LOOKS AT THE HEALTH OF OUR SEWER SYSTEM.
UH, THE PICTURE YOU SEE HERE IS OUR STAFF GOING AND TING A SEWER MAIN.
THEY'RE GONNA SCORE THAT SEWER MAIN CONDITION AND IT GOES INTO OUR CARDIOGRAPH ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.
AND THEN WE KNOW WHICH SEWER REMAINS NEED TO BE REPLACED.
AND WHEN, UM, WE ALSO DO THINGS LIKE I AND I, UH, SO IT'S INFLOW AND INFILTRATION.
IF YOU'VE GOT STORMWATER GETTING INTO YOUR SEWER SYSTEM, YOU'VE GOT LESS CAPACITY TO HOLD SEWER, RIGHT? SO, UH, YOU WANNA MAKE SURE THAT YOU'VE GOT MANHOLE LIDS ARE DOWN, YOU'VE GOT, UH, CLEAN OUTS, YOU DON'T HAVE CRACKED PIPE OR WATER'S GETTING IN BECAUSE THAT CAUSES US TO HAVE TO BUILD BIGGER PIPES.
SUCH IS MORE EXPENSIVE FOR THE CITY.
SO IT'S REALLY A COMPREHENSIVE PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM THAT WE DO WITH THE WASTEWATER SIDE HERE AT THE $5.4 MILLION FOR THE C I P FOR NEXT YEAR.
AND WITH THAT, I WILL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.
UM, YOU'VE IDENTIFIED WHAT $99 MILLION WORTH OF PROJECTS FOR THIS YEAR? UH, I THINK THAT WAS THE FIGURE.
UM, THE SUMMARY WE RECEIVED FROM THE STAFF ON THIS AGENDA ITEM DESCRIBES THE COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM AS A FIVE YEAR GUIDE TO PLANNING, BUILDING, OPERATING, AND MAINTAINING CAPITAL PROJECTS.
HOW DOES YOUR ONE $99 MILLION OVER ONE YEAR RELATE TO A FIVE YEAR GUIDE PLAN? SO IN THE, I HAVEN'T SEEN THE PACKET, UM, BUT IN THE BUDGET THAT WE'VE, UH, PUBLISHED, WE'VE GOT A FIVE YEAR PLAN THERE AND I'VE GOT SEVERAL ROWS THAT ARE, UM, PLANNED OUT FOR THE FUTURE.
SO I'VE GOT FUTURE NEIGHBORHOOD ZONES THAT ARE ON, ON, ON THIS MAP FOR YEARS 2, 3, 4.
I'VE GOT OTHER STREETS AS WELL THAT ARE NOT ON THIS MAP THAT ARE FOR YEARS TWO, THREE, AND FOUR.
SO THIS DISCUSSION HERE IS FOR NEXT YEAR'S C I P AND THAT'S WHERE THE $99 MILLION CAME IN.
IN OR THE 87 FOR STREETS, 6 MILLION FOR WATER AND 5.4 FOR SEWER.
ARE YOU EXPECTING ALL THESE PROJECTS TO BE DONE THIS YEAR OR DO YOU EXPECT SOME OF 'EM TO CARRY OVER DURING YEARS? 2, 3, 4 AND FIVE, MANY OF THEM CARRY OVER.
UM, SO LIKE ON THE MAP I SHOWED FOR THE ARTERIAL PROJECT HERE, PARKER ROAD, EAST AND WEST WAS ON LAST YEAR'S C I P AND IT'S GONNA BE ON NEXT YEAR, C I P AND WE'LL PROBABLY CARRY OVER TO THE FOLLOWING YEAR.
C I P FOR THE VERY END PORTION OF IT.
UM, INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY WILL HAVE AN OVERLAY IN FUTURE C I P YEARS THAT'S BEEN PUT ON THE SCHEDULE AS WELL.
UM, SO IT'S ALL KIND OF COORDINATED TOGETHER.
UH, AND WE LOOK AT THE FUTURE PROJECTS AND LOOK AT THE TIMEFRAME IT TAKES TO DO SO.
LIKE FOR ONE OF MY PROJECTS, UH, MOST CONTRACTORS BILL FOR AN ART TAYLOR PROJECT ABOUT $200,000 A MONTH.
SO I KNOW BASED ON THE VALUE OF THE PROJECT ABOUT HOW LONG IT'S GONNA TAKE US TO GET DONE WITH IT, IT CAN VARY TO TWO 50 TO ONE 50, KIND OF DEPENDS ON WHO THE CONTRACTOR IS.
BUT SO THE $99 MILLION IS NOT NECESSARILY GONNA BE SPENT THIS YEAR.
IT MIGHT, SOME OF, SOME OF THAT MIGHT CARRY OVER WITH, WITH THE PROJECTS THAT IT'S FUNDING.
UM, THERE'S OTHER MONEY ALREADY PLANNED FOR FUTURE YEARS AS WELL.
SO IF WE GET EVERYTHING DONE THAT WE'RE PLANNING TO DO THIS YEAR, IT'S $99 MILLION.
SO IT'S, IT'S VERY AGGRESSIVE.
UM, BUT THAT IS PLANNED FOR NEXT YEAR OR THIS 20, UH, 2324 FISCAL YEAR.
I'M KIND OF CURIOUS AS TO WHAT THE TOTAL ANNUAL CITY BUDGET IS AT THIS POINT.
SO I'LL SAY OUR, OUR BUDGET JUST EVEN FOUR, FIVE YEARS AGO FOR PUBLIC WORKS IS ABOUT $30 MILLION FOR STREETS.
AND THEN WE DID THE, THE, THE PLAN IN 2019 TO LOOK AT WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO TO, TO MAINTAIN THE STREETS.
AND, UH, FIGURED IT WAS ABOUT $90 MILLION A YEAR ON THE PUBLIC WORKS SIDE.
AND WE MOVED TO A LOT MORE MAINTENANCE.
AND THEN WE WENT TO THE BOND PROGRAM.
AND THE BOND PROGRAM APPROVED A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS TOTAL FOR THE ARTERIAL, UM, CONCRETE REPAIR AND OVERLAY AND THEN $70 MILLION FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD REHABS.
AND THAT WAS PUBLIC WORKS PART.
AND THEN CALEB'S GOT A BIG PART OF THAT AS WELL.
SO THAT WAS ALL STARTED IN 2021 WITH THE BOND PROGRAM AND THIS IS THE EXECUTION OF THAT BOND PROGRAM.
COMMISSIONER BRONSKI, I WAS REALLY HOPING NOT TO ASK A QUESTION, BUT I, YOU MENTIONED ONE THING AND I JUST HAD A QUICK, UH, IT POPPED INTO MY HEAD.
SO, UH, IN JUNE OF 2023, UH, PROSPER RAN INTO SOME PROBLEMS WITH 30 MANHOLES COVERS BEING REMOVED.
UM, AND I NOTICED THAT YOU MENTIONED MANHOLES ON HERE.
IS THERE, IS THERE ANYTHING WE'RE DOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE THINGS DON'T DISAPPEAR? UH, AND PROVIDE A, A, A PUBLIC HEALTH DISASTER? MM-HMM.
[02:40:01]
HAD AN ISSUE WITH THAT.WE DO LOCK MANHOLES IN CERTAIN CASES, BUT NOT ALL ARE LOCKED.
UM, SO IT REALLY KINDA DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU ARE WHEN THE MANHOLE'S INSTALLED, THAT KIND OF STUFF.
BUT IF THERE IS AN ISSUE, WE WOULD ADDRESS IT VERY QUICKLY OF COURSE.
'CAUSE IT IS A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE.
AND ALSO JUST TYPICALLY THEY'RE ON STREETS.
SO IF A CAR IS DRIVING, YOU DON'T WANNA RUN YOUR TIRE INTO A MANHOLE.
SO THE 30 THAT WERE IN PROSPER WERE ALL STORM SHELTER OR STORM WATER MANHOLES, BASICALLY.
UM, AND THEY SAID THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY BUT THEY HAVEN'T CAUGHT ANYBODY EITHER.
AND SO JUST WHEN YOU MENTIONED UH, MANHOLES, I JUST WONDERED IF WE HAD EVEN NOTICED WHAT WAS GOING ON UP THERE AND THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT WE MIGHT DO TO I HADN'T HEARD OF THAT.
ANYWAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR WORK.
THANK YOU COMMISSIONER ROWLEY.
I MIGHT TOUCH COMMISSIONER BRUNO'S QUESTION A BIT.
SO FORGET A GENTLEMAN'S NAME FROM ENGINEERING, UM, ESSENTIALLY SHOWED THAT WE WERE, A LOT OF OUR WORKS WAS IN THE OLDER PART OF THE CITY.
WHAT'S THE PENDING LIFE FOR WHAT WE'LL CONSIDER THE NEWER PART OF THE CITY? SO IF WE'RE ADDRESSING WHAT WAS DONE 20 YEARS AGO NOW, WHICH PROBABLY LENDS TO THE AMOUNTS WE ARE SEEING ON THE SCREEN BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF THAT IS COMING DUE, UM, I SUSPECT THERE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT OF A LAW.
WHEN IS THAT NEXT WAVE COMING? SO YOU'RE RIGHT.
I MEAN REALLY CENTRAL PLANO RIGHT NOW, UM, IS ONE OF THE WORST AREAS WHEN IT COMES TO OUR STREETS.
UM, SOME AREAS OF EAST PLANO AS WELL, BUT ALL THE STREETS NEED THE MAINTENANCE TECHNIQUES.
IT JUST COSTS LESS TO DO IT ON A STREET THAT'S IN A BETTER CONDITION.
I ALSO NEED TO LOOK AT OTHER PROJECTS AND I CAN'T GO FIX EVERY SINGLE ROAD IN CENTRAL PLANO 'CAUSE CALEB'S GOT SEVERAL INTERSECTION PROJECTS.
WE'VE GOT PARKS PROJECTS AS WELL, SCREENING WALL PROJECTS.
SO WE LOOK AT KIND OF HOW EVERYTHING IS ALIGNED AND FIND THE BEST USE OF OUR FUNDS AT THE TIME THAT WE HAVE THEM, UM, TO, TO BE ABLE TO SEQUENCE THESE THINGS IN THE FUTURE AS WELL.
SO IF YOU LOOK AT LIKE MY OVERLAY MAP HERE, I'VE GOT IT SHOWING UP.
YOU CAN SEE THAT RIGHT NOW SPRING CREEK IS A GAP AND THAT IS A PLAN FOR THE FUTURE.
UM, SO I'M GONNA DO PARKER ROAD RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE GONNA DO LEGACY AFTER HEDGE OAKS AND THEN SPRING CREEK'S GONNA COME ALONG LATER ON.
I CAN'T DO PLANO PARKWAY YET 'CAUSE WE'VE GOT SOME SEWER PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING ON, SO THAT'S ON HOLD FOR THAT AS WELL.
PLANO PARKWAY MIGHT NEED IT SOONER, BUT I DON'T WANT TO INVEST THE MONEY IN THE OVERLAY AND THE CONCRETE AND THEN HAVE TO TEAR IT UP WITH THE SEWER PROJECT.
SO A LOT OF COORDINATION HAS TO GO ALONG TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ORGANIZED HERE WITH HOW WE'RE DOING THINGS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU DAN
SO QUICKLY IN CLOSING, UH, THESE LAST SLIDES SUMMARIZE OUR ANALYSIS OF HOW THE C I P PROJECTS ARE ALIGNED.
FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY, STARTING WITH PARKS, THE MAJORITY OF THEIR PROJECTS ADDRESS PARTIES A, B, AND D, WHICH ARE CRITICAL REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS, PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND PROMOTING MASTER PLAN STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES FOR ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS, ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS.
THE TOP PRIORITY ADDRESSED IS A CRITICAL REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS FOLLOWED BY PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE.
AND FOR FACILITIES, THE VAST MAJORITY SUPPORT THE PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PRIORITY FOLLOWED BY ADDRESSING CRITICAL REPAIRS AND TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS.
AND SO IN SUMMARY, 420 PROJECTS WERE EVALUATED IN TOTAL AND ALL PROJECTS ALIGNED WITH ONE OR MORE PRIORITIES OF THE FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY.
THIS CHART SHOWS THOSE, UH, PRIORITIES, UH, IN TOTAL.
AND THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION AND STAFF RECOMMENDS THE COMMISSION APPROVE THE PROPOSED COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM FOR THE 20 23 24 BUDGET YEAR AS CONSISTENT WITH THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN AND STAFF IS AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
DO WE HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? MR. IFF? ONE.
UM, ONE THAT I DIDN'T HEAR COVERED.
THERE'S ONE LINE LINE ITEM IN HERE FOR PUBLIC ART.
IT OBVIOUSLY HAS A VERY SPECIFIC PROJECT.
WHOSE DEPARTMENT IS THAT IN? AND JUST CURIOUS.
YEAH, SO THAT FALLS INTO KIND OF A NON-DEPARTMENTAL PROJECT.
I THINK WE ACTUALLY HAVE JASON, IS THAT THERE'S ACTUALLY ALRIGHT, WE'LL PLAN ON CLOSER.
UH, SO HI, I'M JASON GROSH FROM THE BUDGET AND RESEARCH DEPARTMENT.
UH, THAT PROJECT IS ACTUALLY FOR A CONSULTANT CONTRACT THAT IS SPLIT BETWEEN THE PUBLIC ART AND THEN ALSO WITHIN THE OPERATING BUDGET.
UH, IT'S FOR A CONSULTANT FOR THE, UH, ARTS MASTER PLANNING FOR THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
THANK YOU COMMISSIONER KERRY? THAT'S WHAT I WAS HOPING TO ANSWER.
IN THE PRESENTATION, ONE OF THE LINE ITEMS WAS LAND ACQUISITION, AND I'M
[02:45:01]
JUST CURIOUS HOW MUCH OF OUR OVERALL BUDGET IS BEING DEDICATED TO THAT AND WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE.I DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE THE BREAKDOWN FOR LAND ACQUISITION, UM, IN, IN OUR ANALYSIS, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN, IS IS IT A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF WHAT WE'RE DOING? UM, I'M, I'M, I'M NOT SURE WE, WE CAN LOOK THAT UP THOUGH.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR. BROSKI.
WE, UH, ACCE ACCEPT THIS AS PRESENTED.
SO I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BRONSKI WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CAREY TO APPROVE THE C I P PLAN IS PRESENTED.
PLEASE VOTE THAT ITEM CARRIES EIGHT TO ZERO.
CITY STAFF, YOU GUYS KEEP US A CITY OF EXCELLENCE.
UH, WE'RE GONNA GO TO ITEM NINE.

ITEM NUMBER FOUR IS PUBLIC HEARING ZONING CASE 2023 DASH ZERO 11.USE SPECIFIC REG, USE SPECIFIC REGULATIONS AND RELATED SECTIONS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO MEND BACKYARD COTTAGE REGULATIONS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL LAW AFTER A RECENT LEGAL DECISION.
THIS IS FOR LEGISLATIVE CONSIDERATION.
BEFORE YOU, BEFORE YOU GET STARTED.
UH, MR. CHAIRMAN, I'VE FILED THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK TO RECUSE MYSELF FROM THIS ITEM.
I DON'T HAVE A FINANCIAL INTEREST IN THIS, HOWEVER, I DO OWN A BACKYARD COTTAGE.
SO IT, UH, JUST IN THE INTEREST OF, UM, OPEN AND TRANSPARENCY, UM, I DO THINK IT'S BEST IF I RECUSE MYSELF FROM THIS ITEM.
UM, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU GUYS.
WHICH ITEM ARE YOU HERE FOR? ONE AND TWO.
SO THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN HEARD AND DEALT WITH AND I HAVEN'T BEEN HEARD.
ONE A AND ONE B WAS DEALT WITH, I DON'T KNOW, HOUR AND A HALF AGO.
C ACTUALLY ONE B, ONE C, B AND C.
THAT WAS, THAT WAS A CONSENT AGENDA ITEM AND IT'S ALREADY BEEN VOTED ON AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING.
SO WE'RE GONNA LET, WE'RE GONNA LET MR. DY DEAL WITH THAT AND YOU GO AHEAD WITH YOUR PRESENTATION.
I'M MELISSA KLAN, LEAD PLANNER WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS REQUEST IS TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO REMOVE REGULATIONS FOR BACKYARD COTTAGES THAT DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE 2022 FEDERAL
[02:50:01]
LEGAL DECISION.HANO STARK FOR CITY OF NEW ORLEANS.
THIS RULING FROM THE FIFTH CIRCUIT OF THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOUND THAT REQUIRING THE OWNERS OF RESIDENTIAL RENTAL PROPERTIES TO RESIDE ON THE SAME PROPERTY AS THEIR RENTAL IS IN VIOLATION OF THE DORMANT COMMERCE CLAUSE.
THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION CALLED A PUBLIC HEARING TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE REGARDING THIS CASE ON JUNE 5TH, 2023.
BACKYARD COTTAGES ARE CURRENTLY SUBJECT TO THE USE SPECIFIC REGULATIONS DETAILED IN SECTION 15 POINT 1800 OF ARTICLE 15 IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE.
THE CURRENT REGULATIONS REQUIRE THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER MUST OCCUPY EITHER THE MAIN DWELLING UNIT OR THE BACKYARD COTTAGE.
AS A PERMANENT RESIDENCE STAFF IS PROPOSING TO AMEND SECTION 15 POINT 1800 TO REMOVE THE OWNER OCCUPANCY REQUIREMENT.
THIS REQUEST IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES LAND USE ACTION ONE.
NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION ACTIONS ONE, FIVE AND SIX AND THE SPECIAL HOUSING NEED ACTION.
FIVE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN STAFF RECOMMENDS THIS ITEM FOR APPROVAL AS SHOWN IN THE STAFF REPORT AND NO RESPONSES WERE RECEIVED FOR THIS ITEM.
AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
ANYONE HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF ON THIS ITEM? ALRIGHT, SEEING NONE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM? WE DO NOT.
OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, FIND DISCUSSION WITH COMMISSION.
MR. BRUNO? UM, I THINK IT'S, I THINK IT'S NECESSARY FOR US TO APPROVE THIS FOR LEGAL REASONS.
THEREFORE I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM FOUR AS SHOWN IN THE STAFF REPORT.
SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BRUNO WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER ALI TO APPROVE ITEM FOUR AS, UH, SHOWN IN THE STAFF REPORT.
UH, SUSTAIN OR, OKAY THAT ITEM CARRIES SEVEN TO ZERO WITH COMMISSIONER RATLIFF, UH, RECUSING HIMSELF.
[5A. (MK) Public Hearing: Zoning Case 2023-012 - Request to amend various sections of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to recent state legislative actions and to ensure compliance with state law. Project #ZC2023-012. Petitioner: City of Plano (Legislative consideration)]
AGENDA.ITEM NUMBER FIVE A IS PUBLIC HEARING ZONING CASE 2023 DASH ZERO 12 REQUEST TO AMEND VARIOUS SECTIONS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE PERTAINING TO RECENT LEG STATE LEGISLATIVE ACTIONS AND TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW PETITIONER CITY OF PLANO, THIS IS FOR LEGISLATIVE CONSIDERATION.
IN ADJACENT WITH THAT UM, UH, ITEM WE HAVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FIVE B, WHICH IS A PUBLIC HEARING.
SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE AMENDMENT 2023 DASH ZERO TWO REQUEST TO AMEND VARIOUS SECTIONS OF THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE PERTAINING TO RECENT STATE LEGISLATIVE ACTIONS AND TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW, AGAIN IS CITY OF PLANO.
IT IS ALSO FOR LEGISLATIVE CONSIDERATION.
THE PURPOSE OF THESE REQUESTS IS TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE TO ALIGN WITH RECENTLY ADOPTED TEXAS HOUSE AND SENATE BILLS.
THE 88TH TEXAS LEGISLATURE PASSED HOUSE BILL 2127 HOUSE BILL 36 99 AND SENATE BILL 9 29 WHICH REQUIRE ORDINANCE UPDATES, HOUSE BILLS 2127 AND 36 99 GO INTO EFFECT ON SEPTEMBER 1ST WHILE SENATE BILL 9 29 BECAME EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
ADDITIONALLY, UPDATES TO RECENT LEGAL STANDARDS AND GENERAL PRACTICE IN THE STATE HAVE PROMPTED STAFF TO VI REVISIT CHANGES STEMMING FROM HOUSE BILL 24 39.
UH, THE MATERIALS BILL FROM THE 86TH TEXAS LEGISLATURE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION CALLED A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING AND SUBDIVISION ORDINANCES PERTAINING TO THE LEGISLATIVE ACTIONS, UM, ON JUNE 5TH, 2023.
SO HOUSE BILL 2127 SEEKS TO PROVIDE STATEWIDE CONSISTENCY IN REGULATING COMMERCE BY RETURNING REGULATORY POWERS TO THE STATE BY PROHIBITING A MUNICIPALITY FROM ADOPTING, ENFORCING, OR MAINTAINING AN ORDINANCE ORDER OR RULE THAT REGULATES CONDUCT IN A FIELD OF REGULATION IN UM, CERTAIN STATE CODES.
THE BILL ALSO DEFINES A PROCESS FOR WHICH A CLAIMANT MAY BRING AN ACTION AGAINST A MUNICIPALITY IF THEY SUSTAINED INJURY FROM AN ORDINANCE ORDER OR RULE ADOPTED OR ENFORCED BY A MUNICIPALITY WHICH IS IN VIOLATION OF ANY OF THOSE CODES.
HOWEVER, PERSONS BRINGING CLAIMS AGAINST MUNICIPALITIES MUST PROVIDE NOTICE OF THE CLAIM, UH, 90 DAYS BEFORE BRINGING SUIT.
THIS ALLOWS MUNICIPALITIES AND OPPORTUNITY TO REPEAL OR AMEND EXISTING REGULATIONS TO CONFORM TO STATE LAW DURING THIS TIME.
TIMEFRAMES FOR ZONING ORDINANCE
[02:55:01]
AMENDMENTS ARE RESTRICTED DUE TO STATE AND CITY NOTICING REQUIREMENTS.AND A STIPULATION IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE CURRENTLY PROHIBITING A PUBLIC HEARING FROM BEING HELD BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION WITHIN 36 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF FILING OF A ZONING PETITION.
THIS REQUIREMENT MEANS IT TYPICALLY TAKES 58 DAYS FROM THE CALL FOR A PUBLIC HEARING TO A HEARING AT CITY COUNCIL.
AND THE CITY THEREFORE HAS ONLY 32 DAYS TO DECIDE ON WHAT ACTION TO TAKE.
AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE OF THE ACTION AGAINST THE CITY, THIS AMENDMENT PROPOSES TO REMOVE THAT 36 DAY REQUIREMENT FROM THE ZONING ORDINANCE, REDUCING THE TYPICAL TIMEFRAME FROM THE CALL FOR PUBLIC HEARING TO CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING TO 43 DAYS, WHICH INCREASES THE TIME FOR ANALYSIS OF THE SUIT WHILE STILL PROVIDING FOR THE REQUIRED PUBLIC NOTICE.
SB 9 29 ADDS AN ADDITIONAL NOTICE STANDARD FOR ZONING CHANGES THAT MAY RESULT IN AN EXISTING USE BECOMING NON-CONFORMING.
ADDITIONALLY, IT PROVIDES FOR AN AMORTIZATION AND APPEAL PROCESS IF A NON-CONFORMING USE IS REQUIRED TO STOP OPERATING BY THE MUNICIPALITY.
THE ADDITIONAL NOTICING REQUIREMENT IS PROPOSED TO BE ADDED TO ARTICLE FOUR OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE.
ADDITIONALLY, LANGUAGE AND ARTICLE SEVEN REGARDING CONTINUANCE OF NON-CONFORMING USE IS PROPOSED TO BE SIMPLIFIED AND MADE CLEAR DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF AMORTIZATION.
STAFF NEEDS ADDITIONAL TIME TO REFINE THE PROPOSED LANGUAGE CHANGES AND IS PROPOSING TO CALL A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE RELATED TO SSB 9 29 AS A SEPARATE ZONING CASE.
HOUSE BILL 24 39 WAS PASSED IN 2019 BY THE 86 TEXAS, TEXAS LEGISLATURE.
THE BILL RESTRICTED MUNICIPALITIES FROM PROHIBITING ANY BUILDING PRODUCT OR MATERIAL ALLOWED BY A NATIONAL MODEL CODE PUBLISHED WITHIN THE LAST THREE CODE CYCLES.
HOWEVER, EXCEPTIONS DID APPLY INCLUDING LANDMARKS IN DESIGNATED HISTORIC DISTRICTS AND BUILDINGS LOCATED IN A PLACE OR AREA DESIGNATED FOR HISTORICAL, CULTURAL OR ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE.
UNDER ZONING AS THE FULL IMPACTS OF THE BILL WERE UNCLEAR AT THE TIME STILL BEING DEBATED AMONGST CITY OFFICIALS ACROSS THE STATE.
PLANO FOCUSED ON ADOPTING MITIGATING REQUIREMENTS INCLUDING PROVIDING FOR AN ALTERNATIVE INCENTIVE IF DEVELOPERS OR OWNERS CHOSE TO FOLLOW BUILDING MATERIAL STANDARDS.
CLARIFYING WHICH AREAS OF PLANO ARE DESIGNATED FOR HISTORIC CULTURAL OR ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE AND ELIMINATING REGULATIONS WHERE THERE WAS NO EXCEPTION TO THE BILL.
IN THE YEARS SINCE THIS BILL BECAME EFFECTIVE, MOST CITIES HAVE CHOSEN TO ALLOW ONLY WHAT MATERIALS ARE ALLOWED UNDER CODE AND HAVE NOT ADOPTED SIMILAR REGULATIONS TO PLANO REGARDING INCENTIVES OR ARCHITECTURAL OR CULTURAL DISTRICTS.
FURTHER, THE INCENTIVE OPTIONS ADOPTED HAVE PROVEN DIFFICULT FOR REDEVELOPMENT SITES TO MEET BUT RATHER MORE APPROPRIATE FOR GREENFIELD DEVELOPMENT.
STAFF IS PROPOSING TO REMOVE STANDARDS FROM THE ZONING ORDINANCE ADDED IN 2019 INCLUDING ARTICLE 23 AS WELL AS THE ASSOCIATED INCENTIVE OPTIONS.
MATERIAL STANDARDS AND FACADE PLANS REQUIRED WITHIN PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT AS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS ARE CONSIDERED ARCHITECTURALLY AND CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT.
UH, FURTHER HERITAGE DISTRICT REGULATIONS WILL CONTINUE TO APPLY TO LOCAL LANDMARKS AND HERITAGE DISTRICTS.
HB 36 99 EXTENSIVELY CHANGES CHAPTER TWO 12 OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE.
THIS BILL PROHIBITS A MUNICIPALITY FROM REQUIRING THE DEDICATION OF A FUTURE STREET OR ALLEY NOT INTENDED BY THE PROPERTY OWNER AND INCLUDED AND FUNDED IN A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN, WHICH IMPACTS REGULATIONS WITHIN THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE AS CURRENT PRACTICE IS TO REQUIRE STREET DEDICATION AT THE TIME OF PLOTTING WITHOUT SPECIFIC STANDARDS NOW REQUIRED BY THE STATE.
ADDITIONALLY, THE BILL ALLOWS PLATT APPROVAL AUTHORITY TO BE DELEGATED TO STAFF AND STRIKES THE WORD PLAN FROM MANY AREAS OF THE STATUTE, HELPING TO REMOVE POTENTIAL AMBIGUITY OVER WHETHER PLATT APPROVAL DEADLINES ALSO APPLY TO ITEMS SUCH AS SITE PLANS AND LANDSCAPE PLANS.
THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE IS PROPOSED TO BE AMENDED TO COMPLY WITH NEW STREET DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS.
THE PLOT CHANGES NEED ADDITIONAL TIME FOR ANALYSIS.
SO STAFF IS PROPOSING TO CALL A PUBLIC HEARING TO INITIATE ADDITIONAL CHANGES TO THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE RELATED TO HB 36 99 AS A SEPARATE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE AMENDMENT CASE.
SO THE CHANGES ARE IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES AND LAND USE ACTION.
ONE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
AND FOR ITEM FIVE, A STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION CALL AN ADDITIONAL PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER FURTHER ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS
[03:00:01]
INCLUDING AMENDMENTS RELATED TO SB 9 29 AND TO APPROVE ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS AS SHOWN IN THE STAFF REPORT.NO RESPONSES WERE RECEIVED FOR THIS ITEM AND FOR ITEM FIVE B.
STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION CALL A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER FURTHER SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS RELATED TO HB 36 99, INCLUDING CONSIDERATION OF EXTENDING CERTAIN PLATT APPROVAL AUTHORITY TO STAFF AS PERMITTED UNDER THE BILL AND TO APPROVE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS AS SHOWN IN THE STAFF REPORT.
NO RESPONSES WERE RECEIVED FOR THIS ITEM EITHER.
AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS MR. PERRY.
SORRY, COMMISSIONER KERRY? YES.
UM, SO AS I UNDERSTAND IT, IF THIS MOVES FORWARD THEN WOULD PLATT APPROVAL MOVE FROM THIS COMMISSION TO STAFF AND WE WOULD NO LONGER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PLATT APPROVAL? IS THAT THE DIRECTION HERE? SO NOT WITH THIS CASE.
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THE BILL ALLOWS, BUT WE HAVE NOT PROPOSED AT THIS TIME.
WE ARE PROPOSING TO CALL AN ADDITIONAL PUBLIC HEARING SO THAT WE CAN FURTHER ANALYZE, UM, OUR CURRENT PLATT PROCESSES AND WHAT THAT KIND OF CHANGE WOULD IMPACT.
THANK YOU COMMISSIONER RATTLES.
UM, JUST TO REPEAT SOMETHING YOU SAID, AND IT'S ALSO IN THE REPORT, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD, UM, THE BUILDING MATERIALS, UM, CHANGES TO THE BUILDING MATERIALS BILL WILL NOT ALTER THE HERITAGE DISTRICTS AT ALL.
WE'LL STILL HAVE FULL ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL OF EVERYTHING JUST LIKE WE DO NOW IN THE HERITAGE DISTRICTS.
THE DESIGNATED HERITAGE DISTRICTS, UM, ANY REQUIREMENTS WITHIN THOSE WOULD STILL APPLY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? OKAY, THANK YOU.
DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS ON FIVE A OR B? NO, WE DO NOT.
OKAY, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
UH, THE, THESE ARE KIND OF UNIQUE RECOMMENDATIONS AND AFTER DISCUSSING WITH, UH, LEGAL HERE, UH, I'M GONNA MANAGE THE MOTIONS JUST SO THAT IT HELPS MAYBE CLEAR THINGS UP A LITTLE BIT.
UH, FOR ITEM FIVE A I MOVE, WE CALL, UH, PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER FURTHER ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS INCLUDING AMENDMENTS RELATED TO SB 9 29.
OKAY, SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY THE CHAIR WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER RATLIFF.
DO WE HAVE A QUESTION MR. BRUNO? NO, I JUST WANT TO STATE, I THINK IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT WE'RE IN A POSITION OF HAVING TO DO THIS.
I DON'T THINK IT'S IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CITY, BUT THE LEGISLATURE HAS MADE IT NECESSARY, SO I WILL RELUCTANTLY VOTE FOR IT.
SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO CALL A PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM FIVE A.
PLEASE VOTE THAT ITEM CARRIES EIGHT TO ZERO.
SO WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER MOTION ON ITEM FIVE A.
IN THIS CASE IT IS TO, UH, APPROVE ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS AS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF.
