THAT WAS WHY THERE WAS THAT ORIGINAL SCP REQUEST. BUT GIVEN THE OPPOSITION FROM RESIDENTS AND SOME OF THE FEEDBACK THEY'VE RECEIVED STAFF, THEY ARE NO LONGER PURSUING THOSE WAREHOUSES. AND NOW THEIR DESIRE FROM WHAT WE'VE HEARD FROM THEM IS JUST TO MODERNIZE
[00:35:04]
THE ZONING. THE ZONING THAT THEY HAVE ON THE PROPERTY RIGHT NOW IS C PLANNED CENTER, WHICH IS ONE OF OUR LEGACY ZONING DISTRICTS. YOU CAN'T EVEN USE IT ANYMORE. IF YOU'RE WANTING TO REZONE THEY'RE WANTING TO MODERNIZE IT TO C THREE, WHICH IS OUR MODERN DAY EQUIVALENT.AND I SUSPECT THAT WHAT THEY'RE DOING AT THIS POINT WITH THE WAREHOUSE USES OFF THE TABLE THERE WANTING TO BE ABLE TO MARKET IT FOR SALE AND DEVELOPMENT. BUT ALL ABOUT THE AFRICAN FEELING A LITTLE BIT MORE IF THEY HAVE ANY NEW POTENTIAL OPTIONS ON THE TABLE.
CAN YOU SPEAK ON THE ON THE. THE FACT THAT THE S U P HAS BEEN PULLED. THE SCP HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN. THEY'RE NO LONGER REQUESTING, UH, THAT S U P FOR WAREHOUSE USES. I KNOW THERE WAS A LOT OF CONCERN FROM RESIDENTS DURING THE PNC MEETING THAT. WAREHOUSE USAGE COULD STILL GO HERE AND THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED BY RIGHT WITH THE C THREE ZONING. IF THIS WERE TO BE APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL, THEY WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DO WHERE HOUSE USES ON THE PROPERTY WITHOUT COMING BACK THROUGH THIS PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS. PLANING AND ZONING AND COUNCIL. SO AS UPS ARE A PUBLIC HEARING, QUASI ZONING EVENT, AND THAT'S THE BIG FACT THAT FOLKS THAT ARE HERE ARE LISTENING. I'D HAVE TO GO BACK THROUGH PLANNING AND ZONING AND THEN COME BACK TO THE COUNCIL. THAT'S CORRECT. CLEAR IS NOT, BUT WE GOT BUT THANK JENNIFER ANOTHER. CURRENTLY UNDER THE UNDER THE CURRENT ANTIQUATED.
YOU KNOW ZONE AND IF YOU WANT THE PROPERTY, THEY'D HAVE TO COME IN AND IN ESSENCE PLANNED THIS WHOLE THING OUT IN ONE AND IN ONE FELL SWOOP. WHICH WOULD NOT ALLOW THEM TO REALLY RESPOND TO THE MARKET. C THREE IN OUR CURRENT ZONING WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE SAW AS A SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE TO OUR PLANT CENTERS IN THE PAST. WOULD THAT BE ACCURATE? IT IS ACCURATE AND FROM HIS STAFF STANDPOINT, WE'RE ALWAYS IN FAVOR OF MOVING FROM A PD TAILOR MADE ZONING TO A STRAIGHT ZONING DISTRICT THAT IT IS ABLE TO FOLLOW ALL OF OUR STANDARD ZONING REQUIREMENTS AND IT ROLLS. WHEN OUR ZONING AMENDMENTS OCCUR AS WELL.
JACKSON FROM THE STAFF'S OPINION, MOVING TO A C THREE HAS BENEFICIAL NO DOUBT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. APPLICANT I'D LIKE TO. YEAH, BUT THE APPLICANT LIKE TO COME UP. UM MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL. I'M BOB ROEDER, 1700 DRUG BUD SUITE 300 MCKINNEY. HERE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT. UM, I MEAN, I THINK MISS ARNOLD HAS LAID OUT. THE GOAL. THE DESIRE THE PROGRAM. TRYING TO MOVE IT FROM A PD PLAN CENTER INTO THE NEWEST GENERATION OF YOUR HEAVY DUTY COMMERCIAL, WHICH IS, I THINK THE IDEAL ALONG STATE HIGHWAY 1 21, WHICH IS YOUR C THREE UM. HOW YOU KNOW AND ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTIONS, MR FRASER. THERE IS NO PLAN. THERE ARE NO PLANS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY. I THINK MISS ARNOLD WAS RIGHT. WE SIMPLY WANT TO GET IT ZONED UP TO THE MOST CURRENT. ZONING CLASSIFICATION AND THEN SEE WHAT THE MARKET HAS TO BEAR. MY CLIENT IS PREDOMINANTLY IN THE THAT HAS OWNED THIS PROPERTY FOR OVER 20 YEARS. BY THE WAY, UH, IS A BIG PLAYER IN THE INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE MARKET, WHICH IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE SOUGHT TO. PUT THE PROPERTY INTO THAT KIND OF USE, KNOWING THAT THAT'S NOT. GOING TO BE IN THE CARDS AT THIS POINT IN TIME. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH THE PROPERTY YET, BUT WE DO WANT TO GET IT UP TO THE C THREE ZONES, THE LIGHTEST FAIR ENOUGH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. YEP ALL RIGHT THANK YOU. BOB THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEN NONE. ENTERTAIN A MOTION. AND MOVE THAT WE'VE CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AND IMPROVE THIS ITEM. I'LL SECOND THIS CASTRO VOTES. SHOULD PASSES. THANK YOU. ITEM NUMBER. SECOND. 210007 M TO CONDUCT A
[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Request by the City of McKinney to Amend Chapter 146 (Zoning Regulations), Section 146-135 (Landscape Requirements) of the Code of Ordinances, and Accompanying Ordinance]
PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ACT AND REQUEST BY CITY MCKINNEY TO AMEND CHAPTER 1 46 WAS ONLY REGULATIONS SECTION 1 46 TO 1 35 LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS THAT COULD ORDINANCES AND ACCOMPANYING ORDINANCE. JENNIFER THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. THIS IS ACTUALLY AN EXCITING ITEM FOR ME. IT IS ONE OF WHAT I'VE CALLED LOW HANGING FRUIT. UM WITH OUR CODE OVERHAUL PROJECT, THE NEW CODE MCKINNEY AND SO AS PART OF THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE ON THAT PROJECT, WE'VE IDENTIFIED SOME SMALL POCKETS IN OUR CURRENT CODE, WHERE WE FEEL LIKE WE CAN REAP SOME BENEFITS. WITH SOME EARLY AMENDMENTS. AND SO I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE HERE TONIGHT. UM, FOR OUR LANDSCAPE SECTION. SO. UM THE CITY'S ZONING ORDINANCE CURRENTLY HAS AN ENTIRE SECTION DEVOTED TO LANDSCAPING EMBEDDED WITHIN[00:40:02]
THAT SECTION, OUR LANDSCAPING STANDARDS FOR PARKING LOTS. UM AND CURRENTLY IT IS WHAT I WOULD CALL A LAUNDRY LIST OF STANDARDS. YOU GO TO THE PAGE. IT IS A LOT OF WORDS AND IT'S ALL WRITTEN 1234567 ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 20 AND WHAT WE'D REALLY LIKE TO DO WITH THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT. IS REORGANIZED THOSE STANDARDS THAT ARE SPECIFIC TO PARKING LOTS AND PULL THEM OUT A BIT FROM THAT LANDSCAPE SECTION SO THAT THEY'RE EASIER TO VISUALIZE FOR AN APPLICANT OR A DEVELOPER, AND THEY'RE ALSO EASIER FOR US AS A STAFF TO EVALUATE. IN DOING SO WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO INTEGRATE WHAT WE CALL AN ALTERNATE COMPLIANCE OPTION SO CURRENTLY WITH PARKING LOT LANDSCAPING DESIGN, YOU HAVE A VERY RIGID SET OF STANDARDS THAT YOU HAVE TO MEET. HOWEVER IT IS DESIGN AND WE RECOGNIZE THAT THERE MAY BE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS THAT DEVELOPER COULD PURSUE THAT STILL MEET THE SAME INTENT OF THE SPECIFIC STANDARDS. WITHOUT HAVING TO MEET THE VERY RIGID STANDARDS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE ORDINANCE. AND SO THIS ALTERNATE COMPLIANCE LANGUAGE WOULD ALLOW FOR THAT KIND OF A PROCESS. SO HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT OUR EXISTING CODE LOOKS LIKE AGAIN. IT'S THAT LAUNDRY LIST. WHAT WE'RE REQUESTING TO DO IS CONSOLIDATED UNDER ONE MAIN HEADING AND ADD THIS NEW LANGUAGE. WHAT YOU'LL SEE IN THIS ALTERNATE COMPLIANCE. LANGUAGE ARE SOME WHAT WE CALL GUARDRAILS TO ENSURE THAT WE DON'T GET ALTERNATE COMPLIANCE REQUESTS THAT PERHAPS JUST SAY WE DON'T WANT TO PROVIDE TREES IN A PARKING LOT. OR WE DON'T WANT TO PROVIDE TERMINUS ISLANDS IN A PARKING LOT. WE RECOGNIZE THAT THERE MAY BE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT WAYS THAT SOMEBODY CAN ACCOMPLISH THAT GOAL WITHOUT MEETING THE STRICT REQUIREMENTS OF THE ORDINANCE, BUT WE ALSO WANT TO SAFEGUARD FROM. SORT OF FLAGRANT REQUESTS IF YOU WILL, AND SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING WITH THIS ALTERNATE COMPLIANCE IS THAT DISCRETION AT THE STAFF LEVEL, KNOWING THAT TREES WOULD STILL BE REQUIRED ON THE SITE? WE WOULD PUT SORT OF A CAP OR A LIMIT ON THE AMOUNT OF TREES OR LANDSCAPING THAT COULD BE REARRANGED OR REORIENTED WITHIN THAT PARKING LOT. AND WE WOULD ALSO PUT SOME SORT OF SUBJECTIVE MEASURES ON IT AT THE STAFF LEVEL TO ENSURE THAT WE FEEL AS THOUGH THE PROPOSED ALTERNATE DESIGN OR ALTERNATE COMPLIANCE IS STILL KEEPING IN SPIRIT WITH. THE CODE. IF FOR SOME REASON, STAFF IS NOT COMFORTABLE APPROVING THAT ALTERNATE COMPLIANCE REQUEST, WE COULD, OF COURSE, BRING IT FORWARD TO A BOARD FOR CONSIDERATION. UM BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.SO IN ADDITION TO ADDING THAT LANGUAGE, WE ALSO WANTED TO CLARIFY, UM, THE NECESSARY DRIVEWAYS AS THEY INTERACT WITH LANDSCAPE BUFFERS AS YOU ALL ARE VERY WELL AWARE WE ARE STARTING TO SEE MORE OF THIS SINGLE FAMILY FOR RENT STYLE MULTI FAMILY. COMING THROUGH.
AND WITH THAT WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF DIFFERENT LAYOUTS FOR WHERE NECESSARY DRIVEWAYS MIGHT COME THROUGH, SO WE WANTED TO ADD JUST A SMALL SAFEGUARD INTO OUR LANDSCAPE SECTION TO ENSURE THAT. INDEPENDENT DRIVEWAYS AND THAT KIND OF A SCENARIO DON'T OVERLY DISRUPT THE PROPOSED OR THE REQUIRED LANDSCAPE BUFFER, SO ADDING SOME CLARIFYING LANGUAGE THERE AS WELL AND THAT KIND OF WRAPS UP. WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING WITH SOME UPDATES TO OUR LANDSCAPE SECTION AGAIN, CLARIFYING AND REORIENTING PARKING LOT LANDSCAPING, ADDING IN THAT ALTERNATE COMPLIANCE ABILITY AND THEN. TIGHTENING UP OR CLARIFYING THAT LANDSCAPE BUFFER WITH DRIVEWAYS THAT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS? I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT. RIGHT AT IT. UM ANY QUESTIONS? JENNIFER? GREAT JOB. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE ENTERTAIN A MOTION. NATION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. IT APPROVED THIS ITEM. A SECOND. GUESTS YOUR VOTES. MOTION PASSES 210831 CONCERN ACT ON

THEY'RE THE BIGGER PHARMACY THAT WAS IN HERE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, HAS BEEN DOING A POP UP CLINIC IN EAST MCKINNEY. AT 37 SMITH. SO FOR ANYBODY WHO DOES NOT HAVE A VACCINE. YET THEY ARE GIVING THOSE OUT THURSDAY FROM 5 TO 7. 37 SMITH STREET AND SO UM, PRETTY EASY. PULL OUT, UM, GET A VACCINE AND GET OUT AND THEN WE GOT. SPANISH SPEAKERS THERE. AND SO IF YOU KNOW ANYBODY WHO NEEDS A VACCINES AND IN MY LIFE IT'S ONLY HALF. I JUST WANTED TO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT WE HAVE OCTOBERFEST THIS WEEKEND. UM IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE WE'VE HAD OCTOBERFEST. THE WEATHER IS GOING TO COOPERATE WILL BE REALLY NICE. IT'S A GREAT EVENT TO BRING YOUR FAMILY. THEY'RE GONNA HAVE RIDES AND ALL KINDS OF BANKS FOR THE KIDS TODAY. UH THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A BEER. UH, KEG TAPPING. ON FRIDAY AT 5 30. IT'S GOING TO KICK EVERYTHING OFF. SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO GET OUT AND COME DOWNTOWN AND SPEND SOME MONEY.
YEAH. DITTO TO THAT, UH, I WILL SAY IF YOU THIS CITY IS GOING TO TRY TO DO OUR BEST AND COUNCILS. WELL I KNOW THAT FOLKS ARE ASKING OVER AND OVER WHERE TO GET COVID TESTED.
WE'RE HAVING A LOT OF. FAMILY MEMBERS THAT ARE CALLING. I HAVE TO CALL TONIGHT. IT'S HARD TO GET COVID TESTED RIGHT NOW, UH, CVS AND WALGREENS ARE COMPLETELY JAMMED WHEN YOU GO
[00:55:05]
ONLINE OR EVEN THE. THE EMERGENCY CARE IS LIKE THE LEGACY WENT ON ON HARDENED THEY DO NOT HAVE. IT'S AMAZING THAT YOU CANNOT GET COVID TESTED, SO WE'RE GONNA TRY TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING TO PUT OUT WHEN WE WHEN WE CAN DO THAT. I KNOW THAT A LOT OF FOLKS FROM THE BIGGER CITY FROM DALLAS OR COMING UP HERE BUYING ALL OF OUR COVID TEST FROM ALL THE SUBURBS. THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR LESS SEVERAL MONTHS WHEN THEY CAME OUT, AND SO YOU CAN'T BUY THE ONES TO YOUR HOME TEST. WHICH IS AMAZING TO ME THAT WE JUST CAN'T HAVE THE TESTING ABILITY WHEN WE HAD ALL THE TESTING ABILITY IN THE WORLD TO GET IT DONE, SO WE'RE GONNA TRY TO FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION FOR THAT 75. I'M GOING TO SAY IT EVERY TIME IS A MESS. IT IS AN ABSOLUTE TRAIN WRECK OF ANYBODY'S DRIVEN DOWN IN. OR 35, OR ANY OF THOSE ROADS WERE WORKING ON THAT, TOO. UH IT IS A MESS, BUT IT'S IN A MESS IN OUR WHOLE STATE. UH THE REASON WHY THEY CANNOT FIND WORKERS THAT WANT TO DO THE CONTRACT LABOR TO CLEAN THAT UP. THAT IS THE THERE'S A REASON WHY THERE'S A WASHING MACHINE. ON 75 RIGHT NOW AND ALLEN, AND IT'S BEEN THERE FOR THREE WEEKS. SO I'VE CALLED ON IT EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT I'VE GONE BY.AND THERE'S A BED. UH, RIGHT. AND ALAN, WHEN YOU'RE COMING INTO MCKINNEY ON THE LEFT, I'VE CAUGHT. I'VE CALLED ON THAT TO, UH, ABOUT THE, YOU KNOW, JUST START GETTING A BULLDOZER OR SNOWPLOW AND JUST GO DOWN THE ROAD WITH AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. SO WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THAT, UM. I GOT TO SAY SOMETHING. I KNOW THE FIRE GUYS ARE HERE. THANK YOU. ALL YOU'LL DO PEOPLE DON'T KNOW. I MEAN, JUST LIKE IN THE DISASTER RELIEF THAT HAPPENED WITH THE IDEA THAT JUST WENT THROUGH LOUISIANA. ONE OF THE OF SEVERAL GUYS THAT WORK ATLANTA THAT SIT ON BOARDS WITH THEY WERE COMPARING THAT KATRINA AND THERE WAS ONE THING THAT HE MADE A BIG NOTE ABOUT KATRINA TOOK OUT 11,000 UTILITY POLES THROUGHOUT THE STATE WHEN IT WENT THROUGH THE NEW ORLEANS ARE. I JUST ABOUT 35,000 PLUS, SO THEY CLOCKED THE WIND SPEED RIGHT THERE AT THE PORT AT 242 MILES AN HOUR. SO YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THAT. COMING THROUGH YOUR TOWN. THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE POWER. THEY STILL DON'T HAVE RUNNING WATER AND YOU SEE EVERY TIME OUR FIRE GUYS HEADING THE CHARGE HEADING OUT OF TOWN TO GO HELP AND THANK YOU GUYS FOR DOING THAT.
THANK YOU FOR THE EFFORTS OR SACRIFICE NOT BEING AT HOME. I'VE BEEN ON THOSE TRIPS. IT'S HEARTBREAKING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE FAMILIES AND THOSE OTHER PLACES, ESPECIALLY COMING UP IN 9 11 EVENT THAT WAS CELEBRATED FOR THE 20TH YEAR OF US. COMING TOGETHER AS A COUNTRY IS WHAT IT WAS WORTH AND ALL THOSE ALL THOSE ALL THE LAW ENFORCEMENT. ALL OF THE FIRE GUYS THAT WERE KILLED, IT IS TRULY AMAZING TO SEE WHAT OUR CITY DID, UH, AND OUR VET JUST SO JUST TO SAY WE KNOW WHAT YOU FEEL, OR WE'RE TRYING TO FEEL WHAT YOU FEEL. WE WANT TO BE THERE FOR YOU. AND BEING THERE FOR YOU IS AN EVENT WE PLAYED IN YESTERDAY. THE MAYOR AN IDEA THAT I'VE HOSTED FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS OUT OF 22 YEARS, WE MOVED IT UP TO MCKINNEY. FROM FROM THE DALLAS COUNTY RANKS AND WE BROKE THE $100,000 MARK OF RAISING MONEY FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AND FIRE FOR PUBLIC SAFETY, THE COUNSELLING SYSTEMS AND ALL THAT. GO FOR ALL OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY IN THE NORTH TEXAS REGION. THE FOLKS THAT PUT STUFF OUT IN THEIR YARDS, YOU KNOW, THANK YOU. THE FLAGS ON THE ON THE FENCES. THANK YOU.
IT'S AMAZING TO SEE HOW THE DIFFERENCE IS WHEN YOU COME UP TO COLLIN COUNTY AND THE RECOGNITION THAT WE GET UP HERE, THE VERSUS OTHER COUNTIES THAT SURROUND US AND I JUST THANKFUL THAT WE'RE LIVING IN IN THIS COUNTY AND WHAT IT BRINGS SO THAT'S ALL I HAD, UH, YOU GOT THE OCTOBER FEST? OH, YEAH. ALL RIGHT. SO FIRST OF ALL, I WANTED TO ALSO KIND OF PIGGYBACK ON JUSTIN'S COMMENT ABOUT BIGGER PHARMACY. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO REALLY PUT THE EFFORT FORTH TO VACCINATE OUR. CITIZENS THAT ARE STILL WANTING TO BE VACCINATED. AND THIS IS MY BIG PUSH THAT THIS PANDEMIC IS STILL NOT OVER. IF YOU HAVE BEEN HESITANT AND KIND OF ON THE FENCE, AND YOU REALLY ARE LEANING. TOWARDS GETTING VACCINATED. THIS IS OUR BIG PUSH. GET OUT AND GET VACCINATED. OKAY? BECAUSE THE WINTER MONTHS WILL BE HERE BEFORE WE KNOW IT AND WE DO EXPECT ANOTHER SPIKE, SO LET'S KEEP EACH OTHER AS HEALTHY AS POSSIBLE. WANTED TO PUBLICLY ALSO THINK AMANDA BILLER FOR PUTTING OUT A VERY NICE VIDEO ABOUT WHY WE SHOULD GET VACCINATED AND SHE WAS ABLE TOGETHER A NUMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY LEADERS TOGETHER. SO THAT THEY CAN GIVE THEIR PERSPECTIVE. SO I ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO CHECK IT OUT. IT'S ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE, AND I KNOW IT'S ON HERS AS WELL. UM ALSO, I GOT A CHANCE TO GO TO NEW JERUSALEM BAPTIST CHURCH ON SUNDAY AND MET OPAL LEE. IF YOU DON'T KNOW. HOPEFULLY SHE IS A LITTLE FIRECRACKER OF A 95 YEAR OLD LADY. WHO IS FROM FORT WORTH, TEXAS, AND SHE IS ONE OF THE CHAMPIONS BEHIND MAKING JUNETEENTH AND NATIONAL HOLIDAY AND WE WERE BLESSED TO HAVE HER AT NEW JERUSALEM. SHE IS THE COUSIN OF DEBORAH BRADFORD, WHO IS ON OUR CDC BOARD. AND SO IT WAS GREAT TO SEE MISS HOPEFULLY AND TO GET TO MEET HER AND EVEN GET TO GET A BOOK THAT SHE WROTE ABOUT JUNETEENTH SO GREAT

OVER THE COURSE OF A CONTRACT BUT TO ACTUALLY SIT DOWN AND GO BACK AND FORTH AND EXCHANGE IDEAS, THOUGHTS, COMPLAINTS ISSUES, WHATEVER THAT'S REALLY DURING THE NEGOTIATION PROCESSES THAT HAPPENS AND.

I YOU KNOW THE CONTRACTS APPROVED, SO I DON'T HAVE TO SAY THIS, BUT I TELL THEM AND I WILL BRAG ON THEM AND OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT ANYTIME I CAN, BUT THIS IS THE FINEST FIRE DEPARTMENT THAT I'VE EVER WORKED WITH.
