[7. (MZ) Discussion and Action – Call for Public Hearing: Request to call a public hearing to amend the Economic Environment Pillar, Regionalism Pillar, and other actions of the Comprehensive Plan associated with the 2024 Comprehensive Plan Maintenance Review. Project #CPH2024-005.]
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SEVEN DISCUSSION AND ACTION CALL FOR PUBLIC HEARING.REQUEST TO CALL A PUBLIC HEARING TO AMEND THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT PILLAR, REGIONALISM, PILLAR AND OTHER ACTIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ASSOCIATED WITH THE 2024 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAINTENANCE REVIEW.
MY NAME IS MARIAM ZAHEER, PLANNER WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO BRING THE MIC A LITTLE CLOSER TO YOU OR DOWN A LITTLE BIT, MAYBE.
ALL RIGHT. WE'LL SEE IF THAT HELPS A LITTLE BIT.
EVEN HERE IN THE ROOM HE'S TRYING TO HEAR.
YEP. THIS ITEM IS A REQUEST TO CALL A PUBLIC HEARING TO AMEND THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT PILLAR, REGIONALISM PILLAR AND OTHER ACTIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THE REDEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT POLICY ACTION.
SEVEN OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVIDES GUIDANCE TO REVIEW THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EVERY TWO YEARS TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY WITH CITYWIDE GOALS AND RESPOND TO DEVELOPMENT TRENDS AND CHANGING CONDITIONS.
CONSISTENT WITH RGM SEVEN, STAFF HAS DEVELOPED A TEN YEAR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAINTENANCE REVIEW SCHEDULE TO ANNUALLY REVIEW VARIOUS MAPS AND PILLARS AND MANAGEABLE SECTIONS LAND USE, TRANSPORTATION AND HOUSING UPDATES.
THOSE TOPICS ARE REVIEWED EVERY TWO YEARS, CONSISTENT WITH RGM SEVEN.
AND THEN TO MAKE THE REVIEWS MORE MANAGEABLE, STAFF HAS INCLUDED MID-CYCLE REVIEWS.
AS YOU CAN SEE 2024 IS ONE OF THOSE CYCLES AND THIS IS JUST ONCE AGAIN TO MAKE THE MAINTENANCE REVIEWS ANNUAL AND MANAGEABLE. ADDITIONALLY, UPDATES ARE INTENDED TO PROVIDE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE TO ENSURE THAT MAPS, POLICIES, AND ACTIONS REMAIN ALIGNED WITH OTHER CITY DEPARTMENT GOALS, PROCEDURES, AND POLICIES.
SO, AS MENTIONED, THE 2024 REVIEW IS A MID-CYCLE REVIEW AND IT INCLUDES THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT PILLAR, REGIONALISM PILLAR, THE EXPRESSWAY CORRIDOR, ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH MAP, AND ASSOCIATED GUIDELINES AND MODIFICATIONS TO OTHER ACTIONS WHICH MAY BE OBSOLETE OR COMPLETE.
FOR THE EHA MAP AND ASSOCIATED GUIDELINES.
NO UPDATES ARE PROPOSED AT THIS TIME.
IF APPROVED, THE REVIEW AND UPDATE WOULD BE INITIATED LATER THIS YEAR AND UPDATES.
SO JUST A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF WHERE WE ARE AND KIND OF WHERE WE'RE HEADED WITH THIS ITEM.
TONIGHT WE ARE REQUESTING A CALL FOR PUBLIC HEARING.
[00:10:04]
BE DRAFTING, CONTINUING THE COORDINATION EFFORTS AS WE DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS.ONCE PREPARED, THE DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE PUBLISHED ONLINE FOR PUBLIC REVIEW.
THUS, A CITIZEN COMMITTEE IS NOT WARRANTED AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT'S CALLED OUT IN RGM 7.
SO ONCE AGAIN, THAT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, INCLUDED IN THE UPDATES THIS YEAR.
AND LASTLY, A PUBLIC HEARING IS ANTICIPATED LATER THIS SUMMER.
AT THIS TIME, STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE COMMISSION CALL A PUBLIC HEARING TO AMEND THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT PILLAR, REGIONALISM PILLAR AND OTHER ACTIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
YES. COULD YOU PUT THE TIMELINE BACK UP ON THE SCREEN, PLEASE? YES. THE LAST ITEM ON THE FAR RIGHT SAYS SUMMER 2024 P&Z AND CITY COUNCIL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT PUBLIC HEARING.
ARE YOU CONTEMPLATING LIKE A JOINT MEETING OF THE COUNCIL AND THE P AND Z ON THIS, OR HAS IT BEEN DISCUSSED? NO, IT WOULD BE TWO SEPARATE MEETINGS.
OKAY. I UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION.
IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S A JOINT HEARING.
IT SOUNDS LIKE A JOINT MEETING.
YEAH. NO. THERE'LL BE TWO SEPARATE HEARINGS.
YEP. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS, MR. RATLIFF? JUST ONE QUESTION ON THE EHA.
I UNDERSTAND WE NEED A CONSULTANT TO DO THE MAP, BUT WE'VE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES OR QUESTIONS ABOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EHA IN MANY OF OUR DELIBERATIONS ABOUT SOME OF THE CASES.
ARE WE LOOKING AT THE GUIDELINES AND POLICY ANYWAY, EVEN IF WE'RE NOT DOING THE MAP, OR ARE THEY TIED TOGETHER? YES. GOOD EVENING. COMMISSION.
YOU GOT TO LEAN IN. LEAN IN REAL CLOSE.
THERE YOU GO. OUR HOPE IS THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO BOTH TOGETHER.
OKAY, SO Y'ALL DO HAVE A PLAN.
WE DO HAVE A PLAN. WE'VE CHATTED ABOUT OPTIONS.
SO WE COULD DEFINITELY MOVE FORWARD IF IF WE HAVE TO.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. WE DON'T HAVE ANY SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM.
SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE REVIEWS CONTINUING AND SO I'LL MAKE THE MOTION.
I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE CALLING A PUBLIC HEARING TO AMEND THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT PILLAR, REGIONALISM PILLAR AND OTHER ACTIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ASSOCIATED WITH THE 2024 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAINTENANCE REVIEW AS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF.
I HAVE A VERY WELL WORDED MOTION BY MR. BRONSKY, WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER RATLIFF, TO CALL A PUBLIC HEARING AS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF ON ITEM SEVEN.
PLEASE VOTE. THAT ITEM CARRIES 5 TO 0.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR ANYONE THAT WAS PART OF SEVEN.
[INAUDIBLE]. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO TO ITEM 4, AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 4, DISCUSSION
[4. (NC) Discussion: 2024 Planning Department Annual Report – Receive a presentation on the 2024 Planning Department Annual Report. Project #DI2024-008.]
2024 PLANNING DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT.RECEIVE A PRESENTATION ON THE 2024 PLANNING DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT.
SO JUST AN OVERVIEW OF THE REPORT ITSELF AND THE PRESENTATION.
IT DETAILS THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF 2023.
WE'LL START WITH THE DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW.
I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THE COVER.
WE DECIDED TO EMPHASIZE PLANO'S SESQUICENTENNIAL FROM LAST YEAR ON JUNE 3RD AND IN MANY RESPECTS, THE HISTORY OF PLANO IS KIND OF SYNONYMOUS WITH STEVE SIMS WHO PASSED AWAY LAST YEAR AND IT'S ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT TO POINT HIM OUT, AS HE WAS REALLY THE LEAD DRIVER OF OUR ANNUAL REPORTING FOR MANY YEARS.
[00:15:08]
SO INTO THE DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW.SO HERE WE HAVE OUR STRATEGIC VISION WITH OUR KIND OF MISSION STATEMENT.
AND IT'S COLOR CODED BY THE MAIN DIVISIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT.
COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING IS KIND OF SPLIT INTO TWO HERITAGE AND INFORMATION, WHICH IS THE GROUP THAT I'M IN THAT HANDLES THE HERITAGE PRESERVATION PROGRAM, BUT ALSO HANDLES DEMOGRAPHICS AND HOUSING AND DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH.
LAND RECORDS PLANNING IS SPLIT AS WELL INTO LAND RECORDS, WHICH IS REALLY THE DEPARTMENT'S GIS GROUP, AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, WHICH MAINTAINS A ZONING ORDINANCE AND DEALS WITH SPECIAL TOPICS AND SORT OF EMERGING TRENDS THAT NEED TO BE INCORPORATED INTO THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND FINALLY BUSINESS SERVICES, WHICH IS REALLY KIND OF THE THE CONNECTIVE TISSUE THAT JOINS ALL OF THE DIVISIONS TOGETHER AND THEY HANDLE OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND BUDGETING.
SO THE BOARDS AND THE COMMISSIONS THAT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUPPORTS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, OF COURSE, I DON'T NEED TO GO INTO, YOU HAVE SOME METRICS FOR EACH OF THESE? AND 354 PROJECTS OR PLANS WERE APPROVED BY P&Z LAST YEAR.
HERITAGE COMMISSION, OF COURSE, BEING THE THE REVIEW BODY FOR THE HERITAGE PRESERVATION PROGRAM.
LAST YEAR, THEY APPROVED EIGHT CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR CONSTRUCTION AT HISTORIC PROPERTIES AT THE COMMISSION LEVEL AND THEN WE ADDED ANOTHER BOARD THIS YEAR, THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS, WHICH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT PRIMARILY SERVES BY WORKING ON ZONING VARIANCES AND LAST YEAR WE HANDLED 18.
SO GETTING INTO ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT LAST YEAR, THERE WERE 720 NEW SUBMITTALS SENT INTO THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, WHICH IS A SLIGHT INCREASE FROM LAST YEAR OR DECREASE RATHER.
LAST YEAR, 36 ZONING CASES WERE PROCESSED AND MOVED THROUGH THE ZONING PROCESS.
259 ACRES WERE REZONED AND THE AVERAGE APPROVAL TIME FOR THESE CASES WAS 150 DAYS.
WHILE THAT IS, YOU KNOW, OBJECTIVELY KIND OF A LONG TIME, OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, CASES HAVE BECOME MORE AND MORE COMPLEX, AND THEY TAKE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME TO WORK THROUGH.
HERE WE HAVE THE UNDEVELOPED LAND MAP.
IN 2023, WE KIND OF PASSED A CERTAIN MILESTONE WHERE OUR ACREAGE OF UNDEVELOPED LAND DROPPED BELOW 2000 ACRES AND AT THE END OF THE YEAR, IT WAS 1,969.7 ACRES, WHICH IS JUST ABOUT 4.3% OF ALL THE LAND ZONED LAND AREA IN THE CITY.
WE'VE GOT A BREAKDOWN OF THE ZONING OF THE UNDEVELOPED LAND, AND ABOUT 78% IS ZONED FOR NONRESIDENTIAL USES, AND THE REMAINING 22% IS KIND OF MORE OR LESS EVENLY SPLIT BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL AND AGRICULTURAL USE.
ANOTHER ADDITION TO THE ANNUAL REPORT THIS YEAR IS A ZONING ANALYSIS.
IT'S 20.7 ACRES, AND THE MOST REZONING WAS 126.2 ACRES IN CORRIDOR COMMERCIAL.
HERE WE HAVE A LIST OF OUR MAJOR PROJECTS AND THE REPORT THERE'S INFORMATION ABOUT THE SORT OF HISTORY AND STATUS OF THESE PROJECTS, NEW PROJECTS ADDED FOR 2024 THE EDITOR'S HEADQUARTERS REDEVELOPMENT AND UCD PLANO COIT.
[00:20:04]
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES OVER 2023 DEALT WITH A NUMBER OF KIND OF NEW PROJECTS AND SORT OF EMERGING TRENDS.THEY HANDLED IMPLEMENTING OR INCORPORATING ZONE OR DRONE DELIVERY INTO THE ZONING ORDINANCE ADDING TEMPORARY WARMING SHELTERS AS A PERMITTED USE, AND CONTRIBUTED A LOT OF ANALYSIS AND SORT OF POLICY INPUT FOR THE SHORT TERM RENTAL TASK FORCE AND THEY ALSO OVERHAULED THE DEVELOPMENT HANDBOOK AND WON AN AWARD FOR THE ONLINE ZONING CASE RESPONSE MAP. ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT SERVICES ACCOMPLISHMENT WAS ZONING ALIGNMENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, ENSURING THAT THE ZONING ORDINANCE REFLECTS THE LAND USE GOALS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
FOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATES.
THERE WERE SEVERAL THE FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY UPDATE WAS PRIMARILY FOCUSED ON STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR CITY FACILITIES.
PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT UPDATED THEIR PARKS MASTER PLAN MAP LAST YEAR SO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANS, PARK AND FUTURE LAND USE MAP WERE UPDATED ACCORDINGLY, AND THEN THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN MAP AND CROSS SECTIONS WERE UPDATED PRIMARILY AS A RESULT OF THE ADOPTION OF THE STREET DESIGN STANDARDS, WHICH WAS THE FIRST UPDATE TO THE THOROUGHFARE STANDARDS SINCE, I BELIEVE 2009.
FOR MOBILITY PLANNING EFFORTS CONTINUED FOR THE SILVER LINE STATION AREAS PLAN.
FOR HERITAGE PRESERVATION 2023 SAW THE COMPLETION OF A HERITAGE RESOURCE SURVEY THAT LOOKED AT PROPERTIES BUILT BETWEEN 1970 AND 1975, WHICH IS STARTING TO KIND OF CROSS THAT 50 YEAR THRESHOLD OF BEING CONSIDERED HISTORIC.
ADDITIONALLY, THE PLANO PARKS AND LAND DEVELOPMENT ARCHIVE, KIND OF THE PLANO HISTORY PROJECT THAT LOOKS AT PLANO'S POSTWAR DEVELOPMENT, WAS COMPLETED UNDER THE DIRECTION OF STEVE SIMS. SO THERE'S AERIAL PHOTOS, DOCUMENTARY PHOTOS, AND ACTUALLY INTERVIEWS WITH PEOPLE WHO WORKED ON THAT DEVELOPMENT.
FOR CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS.
WE HAD A JUMP OF CA'S THAT WERE APPROVED IN 2023 FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR, WITH 46 APPROVED.
80% OF THOSE WERE APPROVED AT THE STAFF LEVEL AND OF THOSE, 78 WERE PERCENT WERE APPROVED WITHIN A SINGLE DAY, WHICH IS A BENEFIT FOR HISTORIC PROPERTY OWNERS.
WE HAD GENERALLY OUR USUAL PARTICIPANTS IN THE GRANT PROGRAM.
DURING LAST YEAR, 86 PROPERTIES WERE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE.
WE NEED DEMOGRAPHICS AND HOUSING.
EVERY YEAR WE HAVE AN ANNUAL EDUCATION MEETING WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT SERVE PLANO AND WE TALK ABOUT EMERGING TRENDS. ONE TREND THAT'S BEEN REALLY KIND OF ABSORBING EVERYONE'S FOCUS FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS IS DECLINING ENROLLMENT.
AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE CHART ON THE LOWER RIGHT, THERE'S AN INCREASING GAP BETWEEN THE NUMBER OF KINDERGARTNERS ENTERING PLANO ISD AND THE NUMBER OF HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS WHO ARE GRADUATING OUT OF IT AND THAT'S PRIMARILY DRIVEN BY JUST A DECREASE IN THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN REPRESENTED IN OUR POPULATION, WHICH HAS BEEN DECLINING FASTER THAN NATIONAL, STATE AND COUNTY LEVELS.
WE ALSO LOOK AT HOUSING PERMITS OR HOUSING UNITS THAT ARE PERMITTED WITHIN THE VARIOUS ISDS, AND WE'RE ABLE TO EXTRAPOLATE FROM DEMOGRAPHIC DATA WE RECEIVE FROM THE SCHOOLS THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN THAT MIGHT OCCUPY THOSE NEWLY BUILT UNITS AND WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT BASED ON DIFFERENT HOUSING TYPES.
[00:25:04]
SORRY ABOUT THAT.SO LOOKING AT PERMITTING TRENDS, LAST YEAR, 496 HOUSING UNITS WERE PERMITTED.
THIS MARKS A PRETTY BIG DECLINE FROM LAST YEAR WHEN IT WAS OVER 2000, BUT A LOT OF THAT'S ACCOUNTED FOR BY FLUCTUATIONS IN THE NUMBER OF MULTIFAMILY UNITS THAT ARE PERMITTED YEAR TO YEAR.
AND AS WE KEEP TRACK OF THOSE PERMITS YEAR TO YEAR, WE'RE ABLE TO KEEP A GOOD ESTIMATE, YOU KNOW, QUARTER TO QUARTER OF HOW MANY HOUSING UNITS THERE ARE IN THE CITY AT ANY GIVEN TIME.
SO AS OF JANUARY 1ST, THERE WERE 118,783 HOUSING UNITS IN THE CITY AND BASED ON APPROVED PLANS, 11,000, I THINK 950 HOUSING UNITS THAT ARE YET TO BE BUILT AND WE'VE GOT THEM BROKEN OUT BY TYPE AND SUBTYPE AT THE END OF THE YEAR, THE BALANCE OF HOUSING IN THE CITY WAS ABOUT 37% MULTIFAMILY, 63% SINGLE FAMILY.
BUT WE ANTICIPATE OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS THAT WILL SHIFT SLIGHTLY TO 40% MULTIFAMILY, 60% SINGLE FAMILY AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
APPRECIATE IT, WE DON'T REALIZE SOMETIMES UNTIL WE SEE NUMBERS LIKE THAT HOW MUCH WORK GETS DONE, YOU KNOW? IT'S PRETTY AMAZING.
ANY QUESTIONS OR MR. OLLEY? THE HOUSING UNITS BREAKDOWN, GOING FROM 60 TO 40 IN 2044. THAT'S A REPRESENTATIVE OF ACREAGE THAT THOSE UNITS OCCUPY.
OKAY. BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO JUXTAPOSE IT WITH ANOTHER SLIDE THAT WE SHOWED THAT SPLIT BY ACREAGE.
SO PLANO IS STILL PREDOMINANTLY ACREAGE WISE, A SINGLE FAMILY.
YES. YEAH. IF YOU LOOK AT JUST ACREAGE, IT'S OVERWHELMINGLY SINGLE FAMILY.
OKAY. THE OTHER QUESTION, I HAD THE REZONING FROM [INAUDIBLE] COMMERCIAL.
DO WE KNOW WHAT WE REZONE MOST OF THAT TO? I'M JUST I ACTUALLY DON'T KNOW, OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, I GUESS PLAN DEVELOPMENT'S.
PLAN? AND I IMAGINE THAT INCLUDES THINGS LIKE THERE WAS A COLLIN CREEK AMENDMENT.
YEAH. CLOSER. CAN YOU GET OVER HERE? GET IN THERE. YEAH, I THINK THERE WAS THERE WERE A VARIETY OF CASES.
THERE WAS A TESLA DEALERSHIP THAT CAME IN.
THERE WAS A COLLIN CREEK AMENDMENT.
TRY TO REMEMBER OTHER AMENDMENTS, BUT THERE WERE A VARIETY OF THINGS ALONG THAT CORRIDOR.
SO IT'S NOT JUST MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS.
OKAY. THE FRY'S REDEVELOPMENT? THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY.
THE OTHER THING THAT CAUGHT ME BY SURPRISE WAS THE HOW MUCH AGRICULTURAL WE STILL HAVE.
IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, IT'S ACTUALLY MORE THAN ONE OF THE EMPLOYMENT CATEGORIES IN TERMS OF ACREAGE, WHICH DOES HELP KEEP THE THAT LAND SPACE USE. BUT I THINK ONE OF THE BIG THINGS I'M SURE YOU ALL HOLD IN TENSION IS TRYING TO KEEP THAT SUBURBAN OPEN SPACE VIBE THAT PLANO IS KNOWN FOR.
IN TANDEM WITH THE FACT THAT OUR SCHOOLS ARE GETTING EMPTIER BY THE SECOND.
SO YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST AT IT.
I DON'T ENVY YOUR JOB, BUT THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES FOR ALL THE WORK YOU DO DURING THE YEAR AND SUPPORTING THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND SERVING THE PEOPLE OF PLANO. YOU'VE OBVIOUSLY DONE A LOT OF WORK WITH REGARD TO THE DECLINING LOWER GRADE SCHOOL ENROLLMENT.
I MEAN, IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT UNLESS SOMETHING CHANGES? PLANO HAS AN AGING POPULATION? YES, I THINK THAT'S FAIR TO SAY.
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED WHETHER THAT'S DESIRABLE AND IF IT'S NOT, WHAT MIGHT BE DONE TO TRY TO REVERSE THAT TREND? I THINK IN TERMS OF DESIRABILITY I DON'T KNOW THAT PEOPLE WOULD GENERALLY SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, AN AGING POPULATION WITH DECLINING SCHOOL ENROLLMENT
[00:30:05]
IS DESIRABLE.I THINK IT'S A THORNY PROBLEM TO TRY TO FIX.
BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF CAUSES, POTENTIALLY AND WHILE, YOU KNOW, WE THINK WE KNOW WHAT THE CAUSE IS OR AT LEAST THE LEADING CONTRIBUTOR, WHICH IS, I WOULD SAY PEOPLE SORT OF AGING IN PLACE AND STAYING IN THEIR HOMES LONG TERM AND WITHOUT WITH THAT BEING THE CASE, THERE'S NOT THAT RECHARGE OF NEW FAMILIES AND SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN COMING IN.
WOULD THE COST OF REAL ESTATE BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO THAT TREND? I WOULD HAVE TO IMAGINE THE COST OF REAL ESTATE AND THE TAX.
YES. YEAH. I THINK WHEN PEOPLE HAVE SO MUCH EQUITY BUILT UP INTO THEIR HOMES, IT'S HARD TO SAY.
YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER MOVING OUT, YOU KNOW, FOR THE GOOD OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
I DON'T HAVE ANY PARTICULAR COMMENTS ABOUT YOUR REPORT, BUT OTHER THAN I ENJOY THE STATISTICS EVERY YEAR, BECAUSE I'M ALWAYS A LITTLE OVERWHELMED BY THE NUMBER OF THINGS THAT YOU ALL HANDLE IN A YEAR AND SO JUST KUDOS TO THE STAFF AS A WHOLE, BECAUSE IT'S SOME OF THE STATISTICS YOU GIVE US ABOUT NUMBER OF SUBMITTALS AND IT'S A LITTLE OVERWHELMING TO ME, THE VOLUME THAT YOU ALL HANDLE.
YOU DO IT YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT AND YOU DO IT VERY WELL.
YOU'RE GOOD. THE ONLY ONE I THE NUMBER THAT STUCK OUT TO ME WAS WHAT WAS 180.
WAS IT THE ZONING PROCESS OR REZONING? 151.
ANY IDEA HOW THAT COMPARES TO NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES OR OUR PAST? I MEAN, ARE WE IMPROVING OR IS IT GETTING HARDER? I THINK JUST IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF DAYS, IT'S DEFINITELY INCREASING OVER TIME WITHIN PLANO.
I'D SAY WE'RE ALSO THAT NUMBER IS SKEWED SLIGHTLY BY A SMALLER NUMBER OF CASES THAT TAKE EXTRAORDINARILY LONG, BECAUSE THE APPLICANT IS TAKING A LONG PERIOD OF TIME BETWEEN WHEN STAFF GIVES DIRECTION AND WHEN THEY BRING PLANS BACK.
SO, FOR EXAMPLE, SPROUTS, WE JUST WITHDREW THAT CASE THAT WAS SITTING FOR QUITE A LONG TIME.
SO WHEN YOU SEE THE FINAL NUMBERS SHAKE OUT IT'S GOING TO SKEW OUR AVERAGE A LITTLE HIGHER.
BUT REALLY IT'S THE APPLICANT SPENDING MORE TIME TO DEVELOP THE PROCESS BEFORE THEY RESUBMIT.
IT'S YES, THAT'S A GOOD CONTEXT BECAUSE SOMEONE HEARING IT WOULD THINK, WOW, IT TAKES THE CITY A LONG TIME TO GET SOMETHING DONE, WHEN IN FACT THERE'S TWO SIDES TO THAT AND THE DEVELOPER'S ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME OF THAT DELAY.
THANK YOU. APPRECIATE YOUR REPORT.
[5. (AY) Discussion: FY22-23 Comprehensive Plan Annual Report – Receive a presentation on the FY22-23 City of Plano Comprehensive Plan Annual Report. Project #DI2024-007.]
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FIVE.DISCUSSION. FISCAL YEAR 22-23 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANNUAL REPORT.
RECEIVE A PRESENTATION ON THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 2023.
CITY OF PLANO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANNUAL REPORT.
I'M A LONG RANGE PLANNER IN THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, AND I AM HERE TODAY TO PRESENT TO YOU THE CITY OF PLANO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANNUAL REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 22 TO 23.
PLANO'S LEGACY OF THOUGHTFUL PLANNING BEGAN WITH ITS FIRST COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN 1963, AND NOW CURRENTLY, WE ADHERE TO THE VISION LAID OUT IN THE 2021 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
AS A DEPARTMENT, EVERYTHING WE DO IS THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES AND ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, WE COMMUNICATE WITH THE OTHER APPLICABLE DEPARTMENTS TO ENSURE THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES ARE BEING EXECUTED ACCORDINGLY.
[00:35:06]
REPORTING PROCESSES.WE'D BE GLAD TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON HOW THE CITY ABIDES BY THESE GUIDING PRINCIPLES.
AS FAR AS THE MAPS THAT WERE MODIFIED, AND WE UPDATED THE 2023 PARKS AND RECREATION TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN, AS WELL AS A THOROUGHFARE PLAN MAP. CROSS SECTION AMENDMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH WERE ALSO AMENDED AND ASSOCIATED WITH THE NEWLY ADOPTED STREET DESIGN STANDARDS.
IN OUR ANNUAL REVIEW, WE BREAK IT UP INTO IMPLEMENTATION THEMES, AND THERE ARE THREE IMPLEMENTATION THEMES THAT SUMMARIZE HOW WE IMPLEMENT OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THROUGH THREE PRIMARY AVENUES.
WE HAVE SERVICE DELIVERY, CIP, AND OPERATING BUDGET, AS WELL AS THE LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT VEHICLES SERVE FOR SERVICE DELIVERY EACH FISCAL YEAR. CITY LEADERSHIP REVIEWS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ACTIONS TO MEASURE AND COMMUNICATE PLAN ACTIONS IMPLEMENTATION PROGRESS THROUGH VARIOUS SERVICE DELIVERY AVENUES, SUCH AS THROUGH OUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT AND ALL DEPARTMENTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND I'LL SHARE AND HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THOSE EXAMPLES IN A MOMENT.
THE FIRST YEAR, THE CIP IS ADOPTED ANNUALLY AS PART OF THE OPERATING BUDGET AND PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO LINK BUDGETARY DISCUSSION DECISIONS WITH THE LONG TERM VISION LAID OUT IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THESE TOOLS ALSO SERVE TO COMMUNICATE THE CITY'S ASPIRATIONS AND EXPECTATIONS TO RESIDENTS LANDOWNERS IN THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY, ENSURING THAT DEVELOPMENT ALIGNS WITH THE CITY'S VISION AND GOALS.
CURRENTLY, MORE THAN 7,077% OF ACTION ITEMS ARE IN PROGRESS, REOCCURRING OR ON TRACK, 6% ARE COMPLETE AND 21% ARE PENDING. 20 YEAH.
HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES OF SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENT.
SERVICE OF CITY SERVICES THAT SUPPORT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ACTIONS.
HERE ARE JUST TWO OF THE PROJECTS THAT WHICH INCLUDE THE TEXAS RECYCLES DAY, WHICH WAS CONTRIBUTED BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SUSTAINABILITY DEPARTMENT, AND THE CITY'S 150TH ANNIVERSARY EVENT, WHICH WAS PROVIDED BY THE COMMUNICATIONS AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH DEPARTMENT.
CURRENTLY, THE MOST RECENT CIP INCLUDES 420 PROJECTS THAT ALIGN WITH ONE OR MORE PRIORITIES LISTED IN THE FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY, AND HERE ARE A FEW OF THEM HIGHLIGHTED HERE WITH FIRE STATION FIVE REMODEL AND THE TOM MUEHLENBECK RECREATION CENTER.
AND THE CHART REPRESENTS THE FOUR MAIN TYPES.
AS YOU CAN SEE UP THERE, ABOUT 25% ACTUALLY REQUIRED FINDINGS.
I KNOW THAT'S BEEN A QUESTION.
THE LAND USE DEVELOPMENT HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDED AN EVALUATION OF THE CURRENT ZONING ORDINANCE, UPDATED THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT THRESHOLD, AND STANDARDS TO BETTER EVALUATE THE IMPACTS OF NEW AND REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS ON EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS, THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY, AND THE ROADWAY SYSTEM.
WE HAVE A FEW PROJECTS ON THE HORIZON AS STAFF ARE EAGERLY LOOKING TOWARDS PROJECTS SUCH AS THE COMMUNITY DESIGN PLAN, SILVER LINE STATION AREAS PLAN, ANNUAL MARKET STUDY, HOUSING TRENDS ANALYSIS AND STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATE, THE PRESERVATION PLAN UPDATE, AND SO FORTH.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.
[00:40:03]
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.MR. OLLEY? CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE THAT HAD THE BREAKDOWN OF ON TRACK RECURRING PENDING COMPLETE, THE PIE CHART? YEP. IS THIS A FAIR WAY TO READ THIS? CAN I ADD RECURRING AND ON TRACK AND COMPLETE AS.
KIND OF ON THE RAILS STUFF THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO WORRY ABOUT COMPLETION OF THAT.
AND LOOK AT THE PENDING AND IN PROGRESS AS THE ONE THAT YOU GUYS KEEP THE MOST TABS ON.
YEAH, NO, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
SO WE ACTUALLY REACH OUT TO EVERY DEPARTMENT AND GO THROUGH EVERY SINGLE ACTION ITEM.
AND WE DID THAT EARLIER THIS YEAR BASED OFF THE LAST FISCAL YEAR AND SO YES, ESSENTIALLY EVERY ONE OF THEM THAT'S REOCCURRING AND ON TRACK, SOME OF THOSE ARE ONES THAT ARE HAP- THAT NEED TO HAPPEN EVERY YEAR.
IF IT'S IN PROGRESS, THEN IT'S A PROJECT THAT'S IN PROGRESS AND MOVING FORWARD.
OKAY. SECOND QUESTION, AND THIS PROBABLY MIGHT BE ANSWERED BY THE ACTUAL IMPLEMENTATION DASHBOARD.
IT WILL BE A GOOD VIEW TO SEE OF THE ONES WE TAG AS HIGH PRIORITY.
WHAT IS THE PROGRESS THERE? IS IT HOW MUCH IS ON TRACK OR RECURRING OR PENDING OR WHAT HAVE YOU, JUST TO SEE IF WE ARE PRIORITIZING WHAT WE ARE TRACKING? YEAH, DEFINITELY.
WE DO ACTUALLY DO KEEP TRACK OF THAT.
SO WE'LL DEFINITELY TAKE WE KEEP TRACK OF THAT IN THE ACTUAL SPREADSHEET THAT WE GO THROUGH.
SO THAT WE CAN DEFINITELY TAKE NOTE OF THAT FOR NEXT YEAR.
THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WITH QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? MR. BRONSKY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE REPORT.
SO I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.
THE FIRST ONE COULD YOU DESCRIBE TO ME AS PART OF THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES? ONE OF THEM TALKS ABOUT THE OPEN, TRANSPARENT WAY THAT WE'RE PROACTIVELY SEEKING INFORMATION.
CAN YOU KIND OF GIVE ME AN IDEA OF WHAT'S ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL WAYS THAT WE'RE FINDING TO PROACTIVELY SEEK INFORMATION FROM THE COMMUNITY? YEAH. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE IS OBVIOUSLY WE'VE PUT, YOU KNOW, WE MADE IT TRANSPARENT AND THAT OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS MORE ACCESSIBLE THAN IT HAS EVER BEEN ON THE WEBSITE. WE ALSO WE UTILIZE IT AND WE ENGAGE BOTH OUR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW TEAM AS WELL AS OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING TEAM.
WE REFER TO IT AND WE ENGAGE ALL OF OUR APPLICANTS WITH IT AND EVERY MEETING THAT WE HAVE, AND WE REFER TO IT IN ORDER TO ENGAGE THEM AS FAR AS DOING ENGAGEMENT, JUST OPEN ENGAGEMENT, WE DO PUBLIC OUTREACH AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH ON MOST ALL OF OUR PROJECTS, INCLUDING, AND YOU'LL SEE THAT WE WILL BE DOING THAT FOR THE COMMUNITY DESIGN PLAN COMING UP HERE.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT THROUGH THE SILVER LINE STATION AREAS PLAN.
SO I GUESS MY QUESTION WAS? YEAH. WHICH ONE DO YOU FIND? HOW DO YOU FIND THE MOST SUCCESSFUL WAY OF COMMUNICATING RIGHT NOW WITH THE COMMUNITY ITSELF? I DO, I JUST I THINK THAT'S A VERY BROAD QUESTION.
I'M NOT SURE HOW TO ANSWER THAT.
I THINK IT DEPENDS ON THE TOPIC THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE A LOT OF ENGAGEMENT ON CERTAIN CASES.
I THINK THE SPROUTS CASE IS A REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE OF THAT.
WE HOST YOU KNOW, A VARIETY OF SURVEYS ON OUR WEBSITE.
WE DO SOME PROACTIVE OUTREACH TO ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY.
WE EVEN DO SOME KIND OF FUN THINGS LIKE GOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SUBURBAN SOUL EVENT.
SO I THINK IT'S HARD TO KIND OF PAINT THAT WITH SUCH A BROAD BRUSH.
THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS THAT WE ENGAGE IN THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS A REALLY DIFFERENT TOPIC THAT THEY'RE INTERESTED IN, BUT I THINK YOU CAN KIND OF NAME ALL OF THE WORK THAT WE DO. YOU KNOW, OUR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES GROUP REACHES OUT TO INDIVIDUALS ABOUT DRONES AND THOSE SORTS OF TOPICS THAT THEY'RE RESEARCHING THAT REALLY WE DO OUR BEST TO ENGAGE FOLKS AS WE CAN.
YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT SOME OPPORTUNITIES COMING UP WITH OUR COMMUNITY DESIGN PLAN TO DO SOME OUTREACH AND TARGETED OUTREACH TO MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS TO NEIGHBORHOODS, TO RETAIL CENTERS, AS WE GET THAT PLAN IN A MORE FIRM FOOTING SO THAT WE CAN REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THE COMMUNITY'S PRIORITIES ARE AS FAR AS DESIGN GOES.
SO WE'RE SOME OF THOSE EXAMPLES.
WHAT YOU'RE THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR, TO KIND OF GET SOME IDEAS ON WHAT'S WORKING FOR US AND WHAT'S NOT WORKING FOR US, AND HOW WE'RE RETOOLING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE BEING AS EFFECTIVE AS POSSIBLE.
[00:45:03]
BUT I THINK WE ALWAYS TRY TO, YOU KNOW, COME BACK AND DEBRIEF AND SEE WHAT WE COULD HAVE DONE BETTER.IF YOU GUYS DIDN'T ATTEND THOSE MEETINGS, THEY WERE FAIRLY WELL ATTENDED.
WE GOT SOME GOOD FEEDBACK ON THAT.
WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING TO THE COMMUNITY INSTEAD OF JUST BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF A UNIQUE PLAN AND IN AND OF ITSELF AND SO YOU'LL SEE OPPORTUNITIES WHERE WE'RE KIND OF GOING TO THE COMMUNITY IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS AND THAT MIGHT BE THE BEST SITUATION FOR THAT PLAN.
WHEREAS, YOU KNOW, SILVER LINE STATIONARY IS SEEM TO WORK OUT PRETTY WELL HOW WE DID THAT AS WELL.
SO MY NEXT QUESTION COULD YOU GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE WAYS THAT YOU LOOK AT ALTERNATIVES AS IT RELATES TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF GUIDING PRINCIPLE 2.4 IMPLEMENTING THE PLAN IN A FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE TO ENSURE THAT ALTERNATIVES ARE CONSIDERED IN COMPLETIONS OF THE ACTIONS.
YEAH, I'M TRYING TO THINK OF SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY.
OFTEN IN OUR REQUESTS, WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, LAYERS.
BUT YOU KNOW, A LOWER LEVEL OF ASK.
SO I THINK WE UNDERSTAND AND YOU'LL SEE THIS IN OUR KIND OF DISCUSSIONS.
IT'S MORE INTERNAL THAT YOU SEE THIS.
BUT IN OUR MEMOS, AS WE REQUEST FOR ITEMS THAT WE UNDERSTAND, WE'RE STEWARDS OF THE TAXPAYERS RESOURCES AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S IT REALLY IS OUR DESIRE TO USE THOSE TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY, TO THE BEST OF YOUR DIRECTION SO THAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH WHAT'S ON YOUR PROGRAM.
BUT, MR. BELL, DO YOU WANT TO ADD SOMETHING? YEAH. THERE'S TWO THINGS THAT COME TO MY MIND.
THE MOST VISIBLE TO THIS COMMISSION IS EVERY YEAR THE CIP IS REVIEWED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, AND THAT INCLUDES AN ANALYSIS OF HOW THE DOLLARS MATCH UP TO PRIORITIES AND SO EVEN DURING THE INTERNAL DISCUSSIONS, WHILE CIP IS BEING PREPARED, THAT'S PART OF THE CONVERSATION AND SO PRIORITY PROJECTS ARE MAKING IT TO THE TOP.
YEAH. THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I WAS KIND OF LOOKING FOR.
THERE LAST QUESTION WAS IN GUIDING PRINCIPLE 2.2, IT TALKS ABOUT SEEKING INNOVATIVE APPROACHES AND BEST PRACTICES, ACCOMMODATE EMERGING TRENDS IN TECHNOLOGIES AND OPPORTUNITIES.
CAN YOU KIND OF GIVE ME SOME IDEAS OF SOME THINGS THAT WE CAN SEE LOOKING AT OUR PLAN AND THINKING FORWARD EMERGING TRENDS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE APPROPRIATELY IMPLEMENTING EVERYTHING.
SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE HAVE WE DO A COUPLE OF THINGS.
ONE, WE ENGAGE AND WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING AT DIFFERENT WAYS WITHIN THE PLANNING COMMUNITY NATIONWIDE.
WHAT ARE ALL THE BEST PRACTICES ACROSS THE NATION? WHAT ARE SOME OF THE NEW TOPICS THAT ARE BEING DISCUSSED? EVERYTHING FROM THE INTRODUCTION OF AI TECHNOLOGY TO NEW INNOVATIVE, YOU KNOW, STRATEGIES AROUND REMOTE REMOTE WORKING AND SO FORTH, TELECOMMUTING AND SO WE'RE LOOKING AT ALL DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE CAN INCORPORATE KIND OF THOSE BEST PRACTICES ACROSS THE BOARD.
THE OTHER THING THAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE REACHING OUT, LIKE I SAID, THROUGH THE COMMUNITY DESIGN PLAN IS CREATING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO ENGAGE WITH THE COMMUNITY DIRECTLY AND REALLY FIGURE OUT KIND OF ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE VERY SPECIFIC NEEDS FOR OUR COMMUNITY THAT ARE BEING BROUGHT UP.
WELL, I REMEMBER HAVING MANY CONVERSATIONS ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW COMMISSION, AND WE TALKED OFTEN ABOUT HOPEFULLY THERE WERE PEOPLE SMARTER THAN THE 16 OF US AROUND THE TABLE TO BE ABLE TO FIND THOSE KIND OF THINGS AND SO, YOU KNOW, FRANKLY, I'M VERY THANKFUL THAT WE HAVE THE STAFF THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE, EACH OF YOU LEADING AND GUIDING PROACTIVELY FOR EVERY CITIZEN IN PLANO TO PROTECT AND MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF THE VISION AND THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES IN IMPLEMENTING ALL 276 ACTION ITEMS. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
[00:50:05]
BUT I THINK YOU'VE SOLD YOURSELF SHORT JUST A LITTLE BIT FROM MY PERSPECTIVE.BECAUSE THE PUBLIC OUTREACH ON THE SILVER LINE AND THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN, AT LEAST FROM THE DOWNTOWN RESIDENTS, THAT WHERE I LIVE HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING. I MEAN, IT'S BEEN MORE OPPORTUNITIES THAN I EXPECTED OR I THINK ANYBODY ANTICIPATED TO LOOK AT REVIEW, PROVIDE INPUT.
BEFORE, DURING MULTIPLE TIMES, IT'S BEEN REALLY WELL DONE AND BUT IT'S NOT MENTIONED AT ALL AND I THINK IT'S YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO BRAG ON YOURSELF A LITTLE BIT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE, AND WE BURN THROUGH A LOT OF STICKY NOTES ON SOME OF THOSE MEETINGS AND I THINK THAT'S TESTIMONY TO THE PROCESS Y'ALL BEEN DOING AND I DON'T THINK THAT SHOULD BE OVERLOOKED. SO THANK YOU ALL FOR DOING THAT BECAUSE IT'S BEEN REALLY GOOD.
I THINK BECAUSE IT'S AN ONGOING PROJECT, WE DIDN'T WANT TO NOTE IT LIKE IT WAS A COMPLETED PROJECT.
SO YOU'LL OUTREACH WE'LL BRAG ON THAT.
BUT I THINK IT'S A GOOD PROCESS YOU'RE GOING THROUGH, NOT NECESSARILY A COMPLETED PRODUCT.
IT IS. IT'S A VERY GOOD TESTIMONY TO THE WORK YOU'RE DOING IN THE PROCESS.
YEAH. I LOVE THAT COMMENT, BY THE WAY.
THAT WAS GOOD. ANYONE ELSE? NO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
[6. (NC) Discussion: Plano Annual Market Study Dashboards – Receive a presentation on the Plano Market Study Dashboards. Project #DI2024-006.]
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SIX.DISCUSSION PLANO ANNUAL MARKET STUDY DASHBOARDS.
RECEIVE A PRESENTATION ON THE PLANO MARKET STUDY DASHBOARDS.
POLICY ACTION SIX CALLS FOR CONDUCTING AN ANNUAL MARKET STUDY TO DETERMINE THE DEMAND BASED HOUSING AND EMPLOYMENT NEEDS FOR PLANO REFERENCE TO COLLIN COUNTY THAT MAY BE USED TO INFORM ZONING AND LAND USE RELATED DECISIONS.
SO TO IMPLEMENT THIS ACTION ITEM, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT IN STARTING IN MID 2022, STARTED REACHING OUT TO CONTRACTORS WHO CONDUCT MARKET STUDIES AND DO THIS TYPE OF ANALYSIS AND EVENTUALLY WE TOUCH BASE WITH AECOM, PRIMARILY BASED ON THE QUALITY OF WORK THEY PROVIDED FOR THE SILVER LINE STUDY.
SO THE FIRST YEAR, WHICH FOR THE MOST PART WRAPPED UP IN 2023, BUT KIND OF BLED INTO THIS YEAR A LITTLE BIT WAS DATA SOURCING, CHOOSING METRICS PULLING THE DATA TOGETHER, CLEANING IT AND FORMATTING IT AND BUILDING IT INTO THESE DASHBOARDS SO THAT FIRST YEAR'S EFFORT IS COMPLETE AND FOR THIS YEAR AND THE SUBSEQUENT FOUR YEARS, FOR A TOTAL OF FIVE YEARS, THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ANNUAL UPDATE.
SO WE UPDATE THE CURRENT DATA.
SO I'M KIND OF JUST TO GO OVER WHAT IS A MARKET STUDY DASHBOARD? IT'S AN INTERACTIVE WEB BASED GIS APPLICATION.
IT LIVES ENTIRELY IN ARCGIS ONLINE.
SO IT CAN BE DISTRIBUTED TO THE PUBLIC INTERNALLY.
RIGHT NOW, IT'S STILL PRIMARILY FOR STAFF AND OFFICIAL USE.
BUT IT'S SUPPORTED BY OUR TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS, BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE GIS DIVISION.
THE PRINCIPAL UNIT OF ANALYSIS IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD UNIT, WHICH IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD UNIT.
GEOGRAPHY WAS CREATED, I THINK BY NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES.
[00:55:06]
THE DATA COMES PRIMARILY FROM THE US CENSUS BUREAU'S AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY DATA, WHICH IS RELEASED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.WE HAVE THE DATA AT 2010, WHICH IS REALLY THE BENCH OR THE BASELINE FOR ALL OF THE ANALYSIS WITHIN THE MARKET STUDY AND WE HAVE CURRENT DATA, WHICH WHEN THIS WAS PUT TOGETHER WAS THE 2021 ACS AND THEN WE HAVE INTERVENING YEARS TO SHOW KIND OF CHANGE AND THEN WE'VE GOT A COMPARISON LAYER WHERE WE SEE THE CHANGE EITHER IN PERCENTAGE OR IN WHOLE NUMBERS BETWEEN 2010 AND THE PRESENT DATA.
AND WE HAVE OUR COMPARISON CHANGE ANALYSIS AS WELL.
SO WE HAVE COMMUNITIES IN THE METRO METROPLEX, IRVING AND FRISCO, COLLIN COUNTY, DENTON COUNTY AND THE DFW METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREA AS WELL AND WE ALSO HAVE THREE OUT OF STATE COMPARISON COMMUNITIES.
WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NEW YORK AND ARLINGTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA.
ALL OF WHICH ARE COMPARABLE TO PLANO IN THAT THEIR FIRST RING SUBURBS AROUND A MAJOR METRO AREA.
THE METRICS ARE, AT LEAST FOR THE BASELINE RESIDENTIAL METRICS.
IT'S ANALOGOUS TO THE DEMOGRAPHIC DATA AND THAT IT'S REALLY CORE HOUSING METRICS.
SO OCCUPANCY VACANCY HOUSING TYPE, MEDIAN VALUE, MEDIAN RENT.
AND WE INCORPORATE MORE OR ADDITIONAL DATA SOURCES BEYOND JUST ACS.
WE HAVE CITY DATA USED FOR BUILDING PERMITS AND VACANCY AND HUD DATA FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
FOR ADVANCED RESIDENTIAL METRICS.
THESE ARE MORE SORT OF CONCEPTUAL, YOU MIGHT SAY, SORT OF ANALYTICAL METRICS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.
SO INVESTOR CONFIDENCE LOOKS AT MORTGAGE DATA AND IT USES HOUSING MORTGAGE DATA ACCESSIBILITY ACT DATA HOUSING NEED, WHICH IS REALLY KIND OF THE CENTERPIECE OF THE HOUSING ANALYSIS.
IT LOOKS AT THE HOUSING GAPS WITHIN THE CITY BASED ON INCOME RANGES.
SUSCEPTIBILITY TO CHANGE IS AN INTERESTING METRIC.
IT TAKES PARCEL APPRAISAL DISTRICT DATA AND CATEGORIZES THE SUSCEPTIBILITY AT THE PARCEL LEVEL OF REDEVELOPMENT PRESSURE USING LOT COVERAGE AGE OF THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE AND IMPROVEMENT VALUE.
HOUSING REPLACEMENT LOOKS AT NEW BUILDS OR TEAR DOWN NEW BUILDS.
WE HAVE COMMUTING AND JOBS HOUSING RATIO DATA, WHICH LOOKS AT PEOPLE WORKING IN AND COMMUTING TO PLANO AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE AN OVERVIEW OF ALL OF OUR HOUSING MARKET COMPETITORS OR OUR NEAREST HOUSING MARKET COMPETITORS.
WE HAVE AN OVERVIEW OF EMPLOYMENT.
WE HAVE THE TOP EMPLOYMENT SECTORS IN PLANO AND THEN OUR COMPARISON COMMUNITIES, OUR MARKET OVERVIEW IS LOOKING AT ALL OF THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES IN THE CITY OF PLANO AND CATEGORIZING THEM INTO MAJOR SECTORS AND LOOKING AT THEIR VALUE SUSCEPTIBILITY TO CHANGE IS REPRODUCED FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES AND BUILDING PERMITS, LOOKS AT WHERE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT IS REALLY HAPPENING AND THAT'S AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD UNIT LEVEL AND WE HAVE ASSESSED VALUE, WHICH IS BROKEN OUT IN THE MAJOR COMMERCIAL SECTORS WITHIN PLANO.
SO GETTING INTO THE STRUCTURE OF THE DASHBOARDS, THE FORMAT IS VERY CONSISTENT.
MAP TO MAP AND DASHBOARD TO DASHBOARD.
I THINK THIS IS TOTAL POPULATION.
YOU HAVE A BAR CHART THAT SHOWS THAT DISTRIBUTION.
DISTRIBUTION IN A GRAPHIC DISPLAY.
YOU HAVE AN INDICATION OF THE METRIC VALUE FOR EACH NEIGHBORHOOD UNIT AND FOR THE CITY AS A WHOLE.
YOU HAVE TABS THAT YOU CAN USE TO SWITCH BETWEEN YEARS AND SEE THE CHANGE BETWEEN 2010 AND PRESENT.
[01:00:06]
OVER THE COURSE OF THE FIRSTYEAR'S EFFORT, THERE WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE IN ARCGIS ONLINE EXPERIENCE BUILDER.SO WE WERE ABLE TO KIND OF IMPROVE THE USER INTERFACE SO THAT WE'RE IN DEMOGRAPHICS.
YOU WOULD HAVE TO TOGGLE ON AND OFF THE VISIBILITY OF METRICS TO CHANGE FROM ONE TO ANOTHER.
IN THE RECONFIGURED DASHBOARD, YOU JUST GO IT'S TAB BASED.
SO YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THROUGHOUT THE CITY NEIGHBORHOOD UNIT TO UNIT, WHERE NET POPULATION GROWTH AND NET POPULATION DECLINE IS REALLY LOCATED AND THE EXTENT OF THOSE CHANGES.
INCREASING DIVERSITY IS A THEME IN PLANO AND HAS BEEN REALLY FOR THE PAST FEW DECADES, AND WE'RE ABLE TO VISUALIZE THE CHANGE IN THE RACIAL AND ETHNIC BREAKDOWN WITHIN THE CITY.
SO YOU CAN SEE CERTAIN COHORTS ARE INCREASING, CERTAIN COHORTS ARE DECLINING.
SO YOU CAN VISUALIZE THROUGHOUT THE CITY WHERE THAT TREND IS STRONGER OR LESS PRONOUNCED.
MOVING ON TO RESIDENTIAL METRICS, LOOKING AT CONSTRUCTION, THIS SHOWS JUST THE NUMERIC DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NUMBER OF HOUSING UNITS THAT WERE PERMITTED BETWEEN 2010 AND 2022.
SO YOU CAN GET A SENSE OF HOW RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TRENDS ARE SHIFTING AND CHANGING AND WHERE WHERE DEVELOPMENTS REALLY ARE OCCURRING NOW COMPARED TO THE PAST AND SIMILARLY, YOU CAN SEE HOW THE BALANCE OF HOUSING TYPE BETWEEN SINGLE FAMILY AND MULTIFAMILY IS SHIFTING, POTENTIALLY AS A RESULT OF SHIFTING DEVELOPMENT TRENDS AND THE DECLINE IN UNDEVELOPED LAND.
SO LOOKING AT MORTGAGE DATA, THE WAY THAT THE WAY THE DATA IS STRUCTURED AND WHAT THIS IS ACTUALLY SHOWING IS THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF OR LOAN AMOUNT OF MORTGAGES IN THE CITY AS A PERCENTAGE OF AGGREGATE PROPERTY VALUE AND YOU'LL NOTICE THERE ARE A LOT OF NEIGHBORHOOD UNITS THAT ARE GRAYED OUT WHERE WE DON'T HAVE DATA AVAILABLE.
SO THIS ANALYSIS IS REALLY BASED ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD UNITS THAT WE DO HAVE DATA FOR.
BUT BASED ON THE DATA THAT WE HAVE, YOU CAN SEE WHERE CONCENTRATIONS OF HIGHER MORTGAGE AMOUNTS ARE POTENTIALLY SIGNALING A RECHARGE OF NEW RESIDENCE.
SUSCEPTIBILITY TO CHANGE, WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER.
IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE IT EXPRESSED BECAUSE INTUITIVELY, I WOULD THINK THERE WOULD BE CONCENTRATIONS IN VERY PARTICULAR AREAS, BUT IT'S EASTERN PLANO, WESTERN PLANO AND I THINK PRIMARILY THAT'S DRIVEN BY A LOW LOT COVERAGE.
BUT THERE COULD BE OTHER FACTORS AS WELL.
YOU CAN SEE THE DEFICITS IN ALL HOUSING TYPES FOR LOWER INCOME RESIDENTS AND ALSO IN UPPER INCOME RENTAL HOUSING, WHICH PUTS PRESSURE ON THOSE THOSE MIDDLE INCOME UNITS.
LOOKING AT COMMUTING, PLANO IS KIND OF AN EMPLOYMENT CENTER.
MORE PEOPLE COMMUTE INTO PLANO THAN COMMUTE OUT TO WORK IN OTHER COMMUNITIES.
THE EXAMPLE USED HERE IS FRISCO, WHERE ALMOST THREE TIMES AS MANY OR OVER THREE TIMES AS MANY PEOPLE COMMUTE TO PLANO FROM FRISCO RATHER THAN THE OTHER WAY AROUND AND YOU CAN LOOK CITY TO CITY WHERE HOW THAT TREND BREAKS DOWN.
[01:05:06]
JOBS TO HOUSING FIT, RESPECTIVELY.AND WE'RE ABLE TO COMPARE HOW PLANO LINES UP AGAINST OTHER COMMUNITIES.
THE DFW OR DALLAS MSA IS THE COMPARISON COMMUNITY HERE.
SO RETAIL, OFFICE, INDUSTRIAL OR OTHER FOR PROPERTIES THAT DON'T ALIGN TO THOSE THREE AND THEY'RE SIZED ACCORDING TO THEIR RENT PER SQUARE FOOT AND THEN THE CHART AT THE BOTTOM SHOWS WITHIN EACH SECTOR, THE AVERAGE RENT BASED ON YEAR OF CONSTRUCTION AND THAT TIME SLIDER.
BUT THIS IS KIND OF LOOKING AT GROWTH DECADE BY DECADE.
SO YOU CAN SEE THE EMERGENCE OF CERTAIN SECTORS AT CERTAIN TIMES.
SO THE INDUSTRIAL IN THE 80S, THE GROWTH IN OFFICE IN WESTERN PLANO STARTING IN THE 90S AND 2000 AND YOU CAN ALSO USE THIS DASHBOARD TO ZERO IN ON SPECIFIC PROPERTIES AND SEE THEIR RENT PER SQUARE FOOTAGE AND THEIR VACANCY RATE IF WE HAVE THAT INFORMATION.
WE ALSO HAVE A TAB IN THE COMMERCIAL DASHBOARD THAT ALLOWS YOU TO VISUALIZE EACH SECTOR.
BECAUSE THEY'RE SYMBOLIZED BY RENT PER SQUARE FOOTAGE.
IN THE FINAL COMMERCIAL METRIC IS COMMERCIAL BUILDING PERMITS.
SO TO CONCLUDE, THE DASHBOARDS CONTAIN A LOT OF DATA.
THEY'RE VERY DENSE AND WE LIKE TO THINK THAT THEY'RE AN ANALYTICAL TOOL IN AND OF THEMSELVES.
THE FIRST YEAR DASHBOARDS, WHICH WE JUST WENT THROUGH WHILE THEY IN AND OF THEMSELVES ARE A PRODUCT OF INTEREST, THEIR VALUE WILL GROW OVER THE LENGTH OF THE PROJECT WITH EACH ANNUAL UPDATE.
SO WE CAN SEE EMERGING TRENDS AND ISSUES.
WHICH WE'LL GET INTO AS WE START THE UPDATE THIS YEAR.
ALMOST ALL OF IT IS EXTERNAL AND IT'S CREATED BY OTHER ENTITIES AND WHILE WE CAN DO CERTAIN THINGS TO MITIGATE THE GAPS OR SORT OF INACCURACIES THAT WE KNOW ARE THERE.
ULTIMATELY, WE HAVE LIMITED CONTROL OVER THOSE FACTORS.
SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE AWARE OF AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.
SO HE'S AVAILABLE FOR TECHNICAL QUESTIONS.
SO. I'M A DATA NERD, SO THIS IS EXCITING STUFF.
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING IT IN MR. OLLEY I'M SURE. YEAH. A LOT OF NODDING HEADS AROUND HERE.
I THINK ALL OF US SITTING HERE ARE KIND OF THAT A LITTLE BIT GEEKY AROUND THE DATA STUFF.
SO I THINK A COUPLE OF THINGS JUMPED OUT AT ME.
[01:10:07]
SO LIKE THE IDEA THAT ONLY 10% OF THE PROPERTY IN PLANO HAS A MORTGAGE ON IT, I JUST AND I HEARD THAT'S I MEAN, I DON'T UNDERSTAND, BUT THAT'S BECAUSE A BIG CHUNK OF THE CITY YOU DON'T HAVE THE INFORMATION ON, RIGHT.DOES THAT INCLUDE COMMERCIAL OR ONLY RESIDENTIAL? RESIDENTIAL. RESIDENTIAL ONLY? YES, SIR. SO, YOU KNOW, IN MY HEAD I'M GOING THROUGH.
GOING WELL. THE HOUSING STOCK'S AGE A LOT OF IT'S 40 PLUS YEARS.
BUT I THINK THAT WOULD BE MY ONLY THING IS THAT THERE SHOULD BE DISCLAIMERS ALL OVER THIS BEFORE YOU RELEASE IT TO THE PUBLIC THAT, HEY, THIS IS NOT OUR DATA, WE'RE JUST COLLECTING IT AND DO WITH IT WHAT YOU WANT.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? BUT THE INFORMATION ITSELF, TO ME, I FIND I COULD SEE MYSELF SITTING FOR HOURS GOING THROUGH THIS, BEING PERFECTLY HAPPY.
MAYBE WITH SOME WINE, I DON'T KNOW.
OKAY, MR. BROUNOFF. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
I HOPE YOU PEOPLE HAVE A LIFE, YOU KNOW? YOU'VE EMPHASIZED HOW THIS INFORMATION.
BUT IT STRIKES ME THAT THIS IS THE SORT OF INFORMATION THAT A BUSINESS CONSIDERING COMING INTO THE CITY AND BRINGING JOBS AND SO FORTH AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MIGHT WANT TO HAVE IN THE AID OF THEIR MAKING A DECISION AS TO, YOU KNOW, MOVING HERE.
IS THERE A PROCESS FOR MAKING THIS INFORMATION AVAILABLE AS PART OF ATTRACTING BUSINESS TO COME INTO THE CITY? SO THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY WHAT ORIGINATED THIS PROJECT, BUT WE HAVE CONSIDERED IMPLEMENTING MORE OF AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOCUS INTO THE DASHBOARDS.
YOU KNOW, INITIALLY OR EVENTUALLY WHEN THIS IS MADE PUBLIC, YOU KNOW, IT CAN BE USED BY ANYONE.
SO ASSUMING WE GET THE LANGUAGE WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE AND AS GOOD AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE DATA AS WE CAN BUT THE HOPE IS THAT IT WON'T JUST BE SOMETHING THAT WE LOOK AT, BUT THAT, YOU KNOW, ANYONE CAN DERIVE VALUE FROM.
TYPICALLY MIGHT HANDLE OKAY AND THEY MIGHT WANT TO GET A HOLD OF THIS DATA AND FROM IT DEVELOP A PACKAGE, A PRESENTATION PACKAGE THAT THEY CAN USE TO, ATTRACT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
WELL, AS CHAIR OF THE PLANO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, I CAN TELL YOU THAT WE'RE ACTIVELY LOOKING AND WORKING WITH THE CITY ON EXACTLY THIS KIND OF DATA FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES. GOOD.
THANK YOU. I WAS GOING TO ASK ONE MORE QUESTION.
YOU SAID EARLIER YOU SAID IT STARTED AT 2010.
SO WHERE DID 2010 COME FROM AS A STARTING POINT FOR DATA GATHERING? SO I THINK AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY DATA STARTED IN 2010.
I FIGURED IT WAS A SOURCE NUMBER VERSUS A THOUGHT, HEY, WE'RE GOING TO START IN 2010.
IT WAS MORE ABOUT AVAILABILITY OF DATA.
FIRST OF ALL, I'M KIND OF THE SAME WAY.
I WANT TO SPEND A LITTLE MORE TIME KIND OF WANDERING AROUND THIS SITE.
IS THERE A IS THIS OVERLAID WITH LIKE POLICE DATA AS WELL? BECAUSE, I MEAN, FROM A MARKETING PERSPECTIVE, I KNOW WHEN WE MOVED TO TOWN, ONE OF THE THINGS WE LOOKED AT WAS, WHERE ARE ALL THE POLICE CALLS, YOU KNOW? AND SO AND THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THAT OVERLAID WITH GROWTH AREAS AND AREAS THAT MAY NOT BE GROWING, ETC., AND HOW THAT MIGHT DRIVE SOME DECISIONS AS WELL.
[01:15:08]
PURPOSES. ALSO, IS THAT A FAIR STATEMENT? SO FOR A CRIME DATA, INITIALLY WHEN WE SET OUT ON THIS PROJECT, THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE WANTED TO INCORPORATE AS YOU SAY, AS AN OVERLAY. I THINK WHEN WE WORKED WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, THERE WERE CONCERNS ABOUT HOW NECESSARILY WE WANT TO DISPLAY THIS DATA AND WHAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.AND WE ENDED UP JUST KIND OF ABANDONING IT.
WHICH IS UNFORTUNATE AS TO USE BY EMERGENCY SERVICES.
A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, WE DEMOED THE DASHBOARDS AT THE MANAGEMENT TEAM MEETING, AND WE DID GET RESPONSES FROM YOU KNOW, EMERGENCY SERVICES THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO USE THE DATA TO WHAT EXTENT? THAT'S REALLY PUT INTO PRACTICE, I CAN'T SAY.
OKAY. I MEAN, I'M JUST THINKING OUT LOUD.
SEEMS TO ME THAT IF I RECOGNIZE A CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOOD IS AGING, IT MIGHT CHANGE THE MIXTURE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES AVAILABLE FOR THAT COMMUNITY. YOU KNOW, OR THAT MIGHT CHANGE WHAT THE PARKS DEPARTMENT DOES IN A REDEVELOPMENT OF A PARK IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD OR, YOU KNOW, ANY NUMBER OF THINGS THAT MIGHT GET THAT DATA MIGHT BE UTILIZED FOR.
BUT A COUPLE OF YOUR DATA POINTS STUCK OUT THAT I JUST WANT TO ASK A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HOUSING JOBS, HOUSING RATIO OF 1 TO 1.8.
I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS DATA.
THEN THAT SEEMS LIKE A FAIRLY REASONABLE RATIO.
BUT YET WHAT THE REPORT SAYS IS THE CITY IS AN EMPLOYMENT CENTER WITH MORE JOBS THAN HOUSING.
SO WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED THE IDEAL RATIO WHERE WE WOULD BE BALANCED? I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE WHAT THE IDEAL RATIO IS.
I KNOW SEAN HAS DONE SOME RESEARCH INTO THIS ISSUE.
I THINK HE DID A PROJECT FOR THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES.
MAYBE HE'D BE ABLE TO SPEAK ON THAT.
OKAY, SO THAT'S JUST IT'S JUST A CURIOSITY, BECAUSE, I MEAN, IT SEEMS TO ME MOST HOUSES HOLDS THESE DAYS ARE TWO INCOMES AND, YOU KNOW, MAYBE NOT ALL OF THEM, BUT THAT JUST SEEMS LIKE A RATIO THAT'S FEELS LIKE TO ME TO BE PRETTY CLOSE TO BALANCED.
BUT IN THE SAME, I GUESS IS TRUE WITH THE 2.4 LOWER INCOME JOBS FOR EVERY LOWER INCOME HOUSING UNIT.
WHAT IS THE IDEAL? DATA POINT THERE OR SHOULD THOSE ALIGN? YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, YOU KNOW, SO WE KNOW WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO AND HOW FAR WE ARE FROM THAT GOAL.
YEAH. I DON'T I CAN'T SEE ME, SO I CAN'T TELL IF YOU ALL CAN SEE OR HEAR ME.
SO I GUESS TWO TO YOUR FIRST POINT.
FOR THE JOBS HOUSING FIT RATIO, THE ANSWER IS.
RELATIVELY CLOSE TO ONE IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR FROM A BALANCE PERSPECTIVE.
THAT, HOWEVER, DOESN'T MEAN ONE IS THE PERFECT SITUATION.
REALLY. THAT METRIC BEGINS TO MEASURE NOT NECESSARILY WHAT A PERFECT BALANCE IS, BECAUSE THE WAY WE PLAN AND DEVELOP COMMUNITIES ISN'T ONE JOB FOR EVERY ONE PERSON IN ONE SINGULAR HOUSEHOLD, OR ONE HOME PER JOB PER PERSON, THAT'S NOT HOW ANYONE PLANS ANYTHING. AND IF WE WERE LOOKING AT THAT PERSPECTIVE, THEN EACH MUNICIPAL BOUNDARY WOULD BE TEN TIMES LARGER THAN WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS.
THAT DOESN'T ALLOW FOR GOOD PLAN DEVELOPMENT SORT OF ACROSS THE BOARD.
SO WHAT I WOULD SAY IS WHEN READING THAT METRIC WHERE WE'RE HIGHER, WHAT IT'S REALLY SAYING IS WE'RE MORE OF AN EMPLOYMENT DESTINATION AT THE CITY AND WE ARE AS A RESIDENTIAL DESTINATION, THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY GOOD VERSUS BAD, DEPENDING ON WHAT THE COMMUNITY IS STRIVING FOR AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE HOPING THIS INFORMATION SETS YOU ALL UP, AS WELL AS COUNCIL AND CITY STAFF TO BEGIN TO MAKE DECISIONS AS NEW PERMITS AND PROJECTS COME ACROSS YOUR DESK TO UNDERSTAND, WELL, DO WE NEED TO CONCENTRATE MORE HOUSING SO THAT WE CAN HELP FOLKS THAT ARE EMPLOYED HERE, REMAIN HERE? AND AT WHAT AFFORDABILITY LEVEL? OR ARE WE MORE COMFORTABLE BEING AN EMPLOYMENT DESTINATION AND LETTING THE HOUSING MARKET SORT OF FLOW NATURALLY, AS IT HAS FOR THE LAST 20 PLUS YEARS OR LONGER? SO DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR FIRST QUESTION?
[01:20:02]
YEAH, I THINK SO.WHAT WOULD THOSE NUMBERS LOOK? WHAT WOULD THOSE NUMBERS BE? I MEAN, BECAUSE I THINK NOT TO DISAGREE WITH YOU, BUT I THINK A 1 TO 1 IS NOT REFLECTIVE OF OUR CURRENT DEMOGRAPHIC.
THE ONE INCOME HOUSEHOLD IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
THERE'S PROBABLY VERY FEW OF THOSE.
WELL, MAYBE WITH OUR AGING POPULATION THERE IS.
BUT THAT SEEMS LIKE A REALLY LOW NUMBER TO ME.
SO THAT MIGHT BE CONFLICTING THERE.
THE NUMBER DOESN'T REPRESENT A SINGULAR INCOME.
HOUSEHOLD TO A SINGULAR HOUSING UNIT.
WHAT IT COMPARES IS OVERALL EMPLOYMENT TO OVERALL HOUSING.
BUILT, SO IT CAN ALSO INCLUDE HOUSING STRUCTURES THAT ARE VACANT, WHICH WILL DRIVE THAT NUMBER IN ONE DIRECTION OR THE OTHER AND IT'S ALSO LOOKING AT TOTAL EMPLOYMENT WITHIN THE AREA.
NOT NECESSARILY FULL ON EMPLOYMENT.
SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT SOME DIFFERENCES THERE.
SO THE BALANCE IS MORE SPEAKING TO EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY TO EXISTING HOUSING ACROSS THE BOARD, NOT OCCUPIED UNIT VERSUS INCOME EARNING INDIVIDUAL.
IT'S JOB VERSUS SORT OF TOTAL HOUSING STOCK.
THAT HELPS ME CLARIFY IS THAT YEAH THAT CLARIFIES A LOT.
THAT MAKES ME FEEL A LOT BETTER ABOUT THAT NUMBER.
THOSE ARE MY ONLY QUESTIONS. OTHER THAN THAT I'M GOING TO SPEND SOME TIME.
IT'S A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK. GREAT TOOL.
SO JUST TO DROP TWO NAMES TO GIVE AN IDEA WHERE OUR RGM SIX CAME FROM, DOCTOR YORAM SOLOMON AND JIM DELAVEAU AND THE CITY STAFF KNOW THAT WHEN YOU PUT THOSE TWO GUYS TOGETHER, YOU'RE LOOKING AT A LOT OF DATA AND WANTING A LOT OF THINGS AND I REALLY THINK THIS ANNUAL MARKET STUDY IS GOING TO BE VERY IMPORTANT FOR US IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT ASPECTS. BUT I HAVE ONE QUESTION AND RGM6 SIX TALKS ABOUT THE STUDY, INCLUDING THE RESIDENTIAL PREFERENCES.
HOW DO YOU INTUIT THE RESIDENTS OF PLANO'S PREFERENCES IN CONCERT WITH ALL OF THE OTHER EXTERIOR OR EXTERNAL FORCES IMPACTING THEM? YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, THE SHIFTING DEVELOPMENT TRENDS, HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT BEING SURE THAT YOU'RE INTUITING WHAT THE PLANO RESIDENTS ARE ACTUALLY WANTING OR WHAT THEIR PREFERENCES ARE? I THINK IT'S DIFFICULT TO ANSWER NECESSARILY.
YOU KNOW, WE CAN INTUIT BASED ON YOU KNOW, WHAT MARKET DEMAND INDICATES IN TERMS OF, LIKE, ACTUALLY REFERENCING IT TO RESIDENT PREFERENCE, IT'S HARD TO GET TO THAT OUTSIDE OF LIKE A, YOU KNOW, A TRADITIONAL LIKE SURVEY.
MR. COLEMAN, IF I COULD ADD, THE CITY DOES DO A RESIDENT SURVEY EVERY OTHER YEAR, AND THERE'S BEEN DISCUSSIONS OF INCORPORATING SOME OF THE FINDINGS OF THIS INTO THE SURVEY TO GET COMMUNITY FEEDBACK.
I'D LOVE TO. AS MANY DIFFERENT DATA POINTS AS WE CAN GET TO BE SURE THAT WE FIND THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY FIGURING OUT, YEAH, THIS IS WHAT OUR RESIDENTS WANT, NOT THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE BEING KIND OF PUSHED INTO BECAUSE OF OTHER TRENDS HAPPENING AROUND THEM.
THANK YOU, MR. OLLEY. ECHO EVERYTHING EVERYONE SAID AS PART THIS BEING A POTENTIALLY A BLACK HOLE OF JUST DIVING INTO DATA AND GETTING SUCKED AND TIME LOST.
ONE CAUTION ANYTIME I'M PRESENTED WITH NEW DATA DASHBOARDS OR WHAT HAVE YOU, MY FRAMEWORK IS ALWAYS SO WHAT? WHAT IS WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO SOLVE FOR? TO PIGGYBACK ON COMMISSIONER BRONSKY RESIDENTIAL PREFERENCES, FOR INSTANCE.
THAT WILL BE SKEWED HEAVILY BY THE RESIDENTS OF TODAY, WHICH DOESN'T NECESSARILY PLAY WELL WITH MARKET DEMAND FOR THE REST OF THE ZINS OF TOMORROW 2050.
WHAT ELSE THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES HAVE FOR US? THE OTHER THING. I WOULD LOVE THIS TO BE A PART OF OUR PACKAGE GOING FORWARD, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAVE TO DETERMINE SOME KIND OF REZONING.
[01:25:06]
IF YOU CAN LAYER ON TO THAT, A SOME KIND OF FABRIC THAT ALLOWS ME TO SEE, OKAY, THAT NEIGHBORHOOD IS LOSING RESIDENTS.YOU CATCH MY DRIFT, RIGHT? YES, SIR. YEAH. ENABLE THE.
YOU KNOW THE OLD JOKE I TELL MY MENTEES WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT DATA? I SAID, THE ANSWER TO DATA IS ALWAYS IT DEPENDS.
NUMBERS WILL SAY WHATEVER I WANTED TO SAY.
IT ALWAYS DEPENDS ON THE ORACLE AND THE AUDIENCE.
I WOULD SAY THAT IS ABSOLUTELY THE INTENT AND I'LL TAKE AN EXAMPLE FROM WE PULLED SIMILAR DATA LIKE THIS FOR THE SILVER LINE STATION PLANS AND DID AN ANALYSIS THAT SAID, OKAY, THE MARKET SAYS THIS.
WE HAVE COMMUNITY OUTREACH THAT SAYS THIS, AND WE HAVE ZONING THAT ALLOWS THIS.
THAT'S WHERE WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE POLICY DECISIONS THAT HAVE TO BE MADE.
APPRECIATE IT. GOOD INFORMATION.
OKAY, I THINK THAT WRAPS UP ALL OF OUR INDIVIDUAL ITEMS. CORRECT. THAT'S CORRECT.
ALL RIGHT. SO LET'S MOVE TO PUBLIC COMMENT.
[COMMENTS OF PUBLIC INTEREST]
COMMENTS OF PUBLIC INTEREST.THIS PORTION OF THE MEETING IS TO ALLOW UP TO THREE MINUTES PER SPEAKER, WITH 30 TOTAL MINUTES ON ITEMS OF INTEREST OR CONCERN, AND NOT ON THE ITEMS THAT ARE ON THE CURRENT AGENDA. THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MAY DISCUSS THESE ITEMS. EXCUSE ME, THAT'S MAY NOT DISCUSS THESE ITEMS, BUT MAY RESPOND WITH FACTUAL OR POLICY INFORMATION.
THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MAY CHOOSE TO PLACE THE ITEM ON A FUTURE AGENDA.
THE PRESIDING OFFICER MAY MODIFY THESE TIMES AS DEEMED NECESSARY.
THANK YOU AND JUST SO THAT FOR THE COMMISSIONERS THAT ARE HERE UNDERSTANDING WE'VE RECEIVED NEW INSTRUCTIONS FROM COUNCIL ON HOW TO ADDRESS PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS AND PEOPLE THAT WANT TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION, AND THEY'RE REQUIRED TO DO IT VIA ZOOM.
NOW AND THERE'S SOME REASONS FOR THAT AND THEY'RE SPECIFIC TO THIS LOCATION.
WHENEVER WE GET MOVED INTO THE NEW CHAMBERS, THAT MAY CHANGE A LITTLE BIT, BUT IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING WE HAVE ONE PERSON WHO WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS US AND ARE THEY HERE AND READY TO GO? THAT IS CORRECT.
MY ADDRESS IS 3321 JOHN MUIR COURT, PLANO, TEXAS.
I'M AT THE CORNER OF PARKER AND PREMIER.
SO YOU'LL KNOW EXACTLY KIND OF WHERE I LIVE AND WHY I'M INTERESTED.
I'VE LIVED IN MY HOME FOR 42 YEARS.
I'VE SEEN SEVERAL GENERATIONS, FAMILIES THAT'S MOVED IN AND OUT, RAISED KIDS.
AND SO THE HOUSE AND EVERYTHING.
I AM CONCERNED NOW THAT WE'RE LOSING OUR COMMUNITY HERE ON THAT STREET WHERE WE LIVE, BECAUSE WE HAVE NOW HAD THREE HOUSES THAT ARE NOW ARE CALLED APARTMENTS AND THE FIRST ONE THAT DID THAT, WE WERE KIND OF IGNORANT AND DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT WAS GOING ON, BUT THEY WERE NICE AND KEPT THEIR HEAD DOWN AND THEY DID PARTICIPATE, YOU KNOW, IN SOME COMMUNITY STREET THINGS THAT WE DID.
THEN THE OTHER ONE BECAME A APARTMENT LEASING FOR AND THEY'RE ALL SIX MONTHS OR SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR SO FAR, THEY'RE ALL RUNNING AT SIX MONTHS.
I WASN'T FOR SURE HOW TO ADDRESS THIS UNTIL THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR TO ME ACTUALLY MOVED IN, AND THE REALTOR CAME OVER AND INTRODUCED HERSELF TO ME AND TOLD ME THAT A FAMILY WITH A LITTLE GIRL, THREE YEAR OLD GIRL WAS GOING TO BE MOVING IN.
THAT HOUSE HAS NOW BEEN TURNED INTO A 12 BEDROOM APARTMENT.
THERE ARE EIGHT MEN LIVING IN THAT HOUSE.
[01:30:03]
SO YOU CAN NOTICE WHY WE'RE CONCERNED? BECAUSE THERE ARE SEVERAL OF US THAT ARE JUST WOMEN THAT ARE LIVING IN THAT STREET.THERE IS ONE FAMILY THAT HAS TWO SMALL KIDS.
I WENT DOWN AND MADE A LIST TODAY JUST TO SEE THERE'S APPROXIMATELY 12 HOUSES, 11 TO 12 HOUSES ON THAT STREET AND THEY'RE ALL FAMILY.
ONLY MYSELF AND ONE MORE HAS BEEN THERE FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND WE'RE ALL GETTING CONCERNED BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF CARS THAT ARE BEING PARKED THERE.
NOT ONLY THAT, THE HOURS THAT THEY'RE KEEPING AT NIGHT COMING AND GOING.
I DO HAVE CAMERAS, AND I DO WATCH.
I DO NOT SEE STRANGERS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
MY QUESTION IS, WHO DO I NEED TO TURN TO TO GET THIS SOLVED? YOU GUYS OR WHO? I'VE BEEN TO NEIGHBORHOOD.
I'VE BEEN TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION IN THE CAR THING.
WHO HANDLES THIS? WHO NEEDS TO HELP US? WELL, MA'AM, I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU MAKE THE SAME PRESENTATION BEFORE CITY COUNCIL AND SHE'S MUTED NOW.
YOUR TIME WAS UP I'M SORRY MA'AM.
SO THANK YOU FOR PRESENTING TONIGHT.
IT IS A LITTLE CONCERNING I GUESS, BUT THANK YOU.
I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANY OTHER I DON'T KNOW.
DO YOU WANT TO REACH OUT AS STAFF TO HER? OKAY. STAFF WILL REACH OUT TO YOU TO GET A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION AND THANK YOU FOR PRESENTING TONIGHT DURING PUBLIC COMMENT.
WITH NO OTHER BUSINESS BEFORE US, WE ARE ADJOURNED AT 8:32.
