TO CALL YOUR WORD TO ORDER THEIR PLANING AND ZONING COMMISSION. IT'S HERE. WE DO HAVE A FOREIGN PRESENCE. FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IS PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS. IS THERE ANYBODY THAT HAS FILLED THAT OCCURRED TO SPEAK? ON OUR END. THERE WILL THEN MOVE. TO
[Update on the New Code McKinney Initiative (Development Regulations Update), Specifically Related to Proposed Improvements to the Development Standards Sections of the City’s Development Codes]
OUR JOINT MEETING AGENDA, WHICH IS AT NUMBER 21086 YEAR OLD UPDATE ON THE NEW CODE.MCKINNEY INITIATIVE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS UPDATE SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS SECTION OF THE CITY'S DEVELOPMENT CODES. MHM.
BELIEVING MAYOR COUNCIL WINNERS. SEE YOU UP. AARON BLOXHAM CITY. MAKE ANY PLANNING MANAGER. I'M JOINED TONIGHT BY THAT GLOBAL, UH, WITH CLARIION ASSOCIATES. HE'S ONE OF OUR CONSULTANTS ON THE PROJECT WILL BE JOINING ME FOR THIS PRESENT PRESENTATION. ALSO JENNIFER ARNOLD'S HERE. TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE, HOPEFULLY BETWEEN MYSELF AND MATT, WE CAN HANDLE ALL THOSE QUESTIONS. BUT IF SHE HAS ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE, SHE'S MORE THAN WILLING AND ABLE TO GIVE ITSELF. UM WITH THAT, WE'LL JUST KIND OF JUMP IN. SO FOR TONIGHT, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT YOU WITH THE THIRD INSTALLMENT, WHICH IS DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THE ZONING CODE. WE'RE GOING TO WALK THROUGH A LOT OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES TONIGHT. UM JUST IN A BRIEF OVERVIEW FASHION, WE'LL DIG IN ON A COUPLE OF THE METEOR ITEMS JUST KIND OF LET YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. BUT THIS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO GIVE FEEDBACK ON. TONIGHT WE WANTED TO HEAR KIND OF YOUR INITIAL FEEDBACK, YOUR THOUGHTS, THINGS THAT WE NEED TO MAYBE TAKE BACK TO THE DRAWING BORDER. THINK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THOSE. UM AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE HAVE THE SURVEY OUT RIGHT NOW. AND THIS IS ONLINE SO YOU CAN. FEEL FREE TO COMMENT THERE OR REACH OUT AND EMAIL THOSE COMMENTS BACK TO US AS WELL. AS WE ALWAYS DO. WE LIKE TO REMIND EVERYBODY OF THE GOALS THAT WE HAVE FOR THIS CODE UPDATE. THE LIST IS HERE FOR YOU TO, UH, REMIND YOU OF WHAT THOSE ARE REALLY WHAT? THIS WE WANTED TO FOCUS IN. KIND OF, UM, ON THE TOP THREE IS WHAT WE'VE REALLY FOCUSED IN OUR TOP FOUR. AND THAT'S REALLY, YOU KNOW, IMPLEMENTING THE ONE MCKINNEY 2040 CODE SIMPLIFYING OUR REGULATIONS. AS WE WALK THROUGH THESE CHANGES.
HOPEFULLY YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THAT TONIGHT. INTRODUCING FLEXIBLE TOOLS. WE'LL TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT LATER IN THE PROGRAM AND ALSO IMPROVING USER FRIENDLINESS. UH BEEN A BIG KEY FOR THE THINGS THAT WE'VE TRIED TO FOCUS ON ME. THE CODE MORE AVAILABLE MORE EASY TO USE EASIER TO UNDERSTAND. OF COURSE, WE CAN'T GO WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT OUR PROJECT TIMELINE. AND SO AS WE TALK ABOUT THIS JUST KIND OF WANT TO REMIND YOU OF THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE SO FAR AND REMIND YOU OF THE APPROACH THAT WE'VE TAKEN. SO WITH THE CODE OVERHAUL. WE'VE TAKEN THE APPROACH THAT WE'VE BROKEN THIS UP INTO THREE DIFFERENT INSTALLMENTS. THIS IS THE THIRD INSTALLMENT. THE FIRST INSTALLMENT WAS, OF COURSE, ADMIN PROCEDURES. THE SECOND ONE THAT WAS ZONING DISTRICTS AND USES WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT A FEW MONTHS AGO. AND THEN THIS IS DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. UM NOW THAT WE KIND OF HAVE ALL OF THOSE ONCE WE'RE DONE WITH THE PUBLIC OUTREACH PROCESS WILL TAKE ALL THOSE. COMBINE THEM TOGETHER INTO THE CONSOLIDATED DRAFT, MAKE ANY OTHER NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS CHANGES. UM BASED ON THE FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED AND THEN PRESENT THAT BACK TO YOU AND TO THE PUBLIC SO THEY CAN SEE THE FULL DOCUMENT TOGETHER, EVERYTHING WORKING IN LINE WITH ALL THE OTHER PIECES THAT. UM THEY HAVE ONLY SEEN PARTS OF TO THIS POINT. SO THAT'S WHAT'S COMING. AND THEN, OF COURSE, MOVING TOWARDS ADOPTION IN THE SUMMER OF NEXT YEAR. SO AS I MENTIONED, WE HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK ON THE CODE. AND IN THE BEGINNING WE DID A LOT OF OUTREACH. AND SO WE HEARD A LOT OF COMMENTS AND ALSO CLARION WENT THROUGH OUR CODE AND LOOKED AT OUR COACHES SEE. WHAT RECOMMENDATIONS WE CAN MAKE. AND SO THAT'S WHAT YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT HERE. IS THAT DOCUMENT THAT ASSESSMENT DOCUMENT? THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH AND WORKING THROUGH TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES. THIS SPECIFIC FINDINGS THAT WE KIND OF WORK THROUGH THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE USE TO GUIDE US AS WE UPDATED THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS WAS CLARIFYING THAT ORGANIZATION. THE PURPOSE THE ADMINISTRATION. OF THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.
WE LOOKED AT SPECIFIC IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE NEEDED TO MAKE THE. SPECIFIC STANDARDS WITHIN THE CODE, AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THOSE. WE DEFINITELY WANTED TO CONSIDER FLEXIBILITY AS WE WALKED THROUGH THESE SO FLEXIBILITY IS A PIECE OF TALK ABOUT HERE IN A MINUTE. UM THE
[00:05:03]
BIGGEST ONE THAT WE OBVIOUSLY WANT TO FOCUS ON IS TO PRODUCE REDUCING THE RELIANCE OF. OF PDS WITHIN OUR SYSTEM, AND SO WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THAT MORE ABOUT THAT AS WE WALK THROUGH THESE CHANGES, BUT YOU'LL SEE THAT. SO WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO MATT GOLD, WHO WALKED THROUGH THE CHANGES AND THEN AFTER MASS COMMENTS WILL STOP FOR ANY QUESTIONS, AND I'LL WALK THROUGH THE NEXT STEPS AND JUST KIND OF SHOW YOU WHERE WE'RE GOING. THANKS, SARAH. MR MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS. EMISSION NUMBERS. GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME, SO MY JOB IS TO WALK YOU THROUGH SOME OF THE SUBSTANCE OF THIS PART OF THE CODE. AND UM A LOT OF THE THEMES HERE ARE GOING TO BE ON TRANSPARENCY, PREDICTABILITY, CLARITY, JUST MAKING SURE THAT THE ORDINANCES ARE EASIER TO USE AND. EASIER TO UNDERSTAND IF I WANT TO DO BUSINESS AND MECHANIC IF I WANT TO DO A PROJECT, UM THIS FIRST SLIDE IS JUST ABOUT ORGANIZATION. YOU KNOW IF YOU ALL HAVE. YOU KNOW, DOVE INTO THE ORDINANCES RECENTLY, YOU KNOW THAT A LOT OF THE DEVELOPMENT RELATED ORDINANCES ARE VERY FRAGMENTED AND WANTED DIFFERENT PLACES. IT'S HARD TO GET AN OVERALL SENSE OF THE RULES OF DEVELOPMENT, MCKINNEY AND SO. I THINK JUST BY THE LOGICAL CONSOLIDATION OF CHAPTERS OF SUBDIVISION AND ZONING AND FENCES AND LIGHTING ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS IN ONE STOP AND ONE STOP SHOP. RIGHT NOW IS ABOUT THIS THICK. IT'S AN EASIER DOCUMENT TO USE AND IT'S ALL GOING TO BE EASIER. MORE MORE ORGANIZED AND MORE INTUITIVE FASHION EASIER TO FIND INFORMATION, SO JUST THAT OVERALL CONSOLIDATION OF INFORMATION IS A REALLY IMPORTANT FIRST STEP FOR US. UM WITHIN EACH OF THE INDIVIDUAL SECTIONS WITHIN EACH INDIVIDUAL PAGE. YOU KNOW, WE'VE LOOKED FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO CLEAN UP LANGUAGE TO ADD ILLUSTRATIONS LIKE WHAT YOU SEE THERE ON THE THIRD IMAGE IN THE FOURTH IMAGE. TO ADD SUMMARY TABLES.UM AND A LOT OF PLACES. YOU KNOW, WE'RE CARRYING FORWARD THE ESSENTIAL SUBSTANCE OF WHAT YOU'VE GOT, BECAUSE THE RULES ARE WORKING PRETTY WELL, BUT THEY'RE HARD TO UNDERSTAND HARD TO DECIPHER. AND SO WE'VE TRIED TO DO THINGS TO MAKE THEM EASIER TO UNDERSTAND. THAT THIRD ILLUSTRATION IS AN OVERALL GRAPHIC OF A OF A NON RESIDENTIAL PARKING LOT, AND IT'S KEYED TO STANDARDS THAT SHOW WHAT DIFFERENT TYPES OF LANDSCAPING ARE REQUIRED THERE, SO WE TRY TO BE CREATIVE WITH YOUR STAFF. IN THINKING THROUGH HOW TO ILLUSTRATE THIS STUFF.
SO THOSE HAVE BEEN BIG THEMES. BIG LESSONS BETTER ORGANIZATION BETTER CLARITY. BUT THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF SUBSTANTIVE REVIEW AS WELL. LOT OF TEXT ON THIS SLIDE. BUT THIS IS A GOOD OVERVIEW. IF YOU JUST LOOK AT THE BOLD TEXT, THIS IS JUST A GOOD OVERVIEW OF WHAT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS ARE. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, THAT'S THAT'S THE STUFF THAT REALLY IS DISTINCTIVE TO MCKINNEY. YOU KNOW? HOW DOES THE LANDSCAPING HAVE TO LOOK? YOU KNOW WHAT TREES HAVE TO BE PRESERVED. WHAT'S THE BUILDING DESIGN HAVE TO LOOK LIKE WHAT HAS TO BE SCREENED. WHAT ARE THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS? THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS HERE THAT REALLY GET TO THE QUALITY OF DEVELOPMENT, MCKINNEY AND SO THAT WAS THE FOCUS OF THIS PART OF THE CODE. AS I SAID, FOR ALL OF THESE THINGS, WE LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO CLEAN UP. TO CLARIFY TO ADD ILLUSTRATIONS. UM, WE ALSO LOOKED AT THE SUBSTANCE AND SO I'M GOING TO WALK THROUGH EACH ONE OF THESE WITH YOU QUICKLY UNTIL YOU SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE LOOKED AT WITH STAFF FOR LANDSCAPING. VERY MINOR. SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES WERE NECESSARY HERE. HOWEVER WE DID A LOT OF SURGERY ON THE TEXT IN THIS SECTION TO MAKE IT EASIER TO USE, AND IT'S ORGANIZED NOW AROUND DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT TYPES. AND SO YOU CAN GO TO THE NAM RESIDENTIAL SECTION AND SEE VERY CLEARLY WHAT THOSE LANDSCAPING STANDARDS ARE. SAME THING FOR MULTI FAMILY, ETCETERA. MEASURE, RE FORMATTING AND LAYOUT CHANGES THERE. TREE PRESERVATION, THE MITIGATION AND PRESERVATION STANDARDS SUBSTANTIVELY LARGELY REMAINED THE SAME, HOWEVER, IN THE TREES SURVEY PIECE THERE ARE GOING TO BE SOME NEW INCENTIVES. EASIER SURVEYS OPTIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE THAT WILL ACTUALLY BE LOCATED IN THE PROCEDURES PART OF THE NEW CODE, BUT THAT'S A BIG NEW INCENTIVE THAT WE ADDED THERE. SCREENING SCREAMING OF MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT SCREENING OF AUTO BASED THINGS LIKE THAT.
ALL THOSE TYPES OF THINGS JUST HELP REDUCE VISUAL IMPACTS. UM WE'VE ADDED A LOT OF SUMMARY TABLES. WE HAVE JUST DONE A LOT OF KIND OF DOCUMENT CLEAN UP TO MAKE THIS STUFF EASIER TO USE.
WE DID JUST RELEVANT, RELATIVELY MINOR THINGS LIKE SEPARATING OUT LOADING DOCKS AND LOADING BAYS FROM SERVICE AND REPAIR BAYS. THINGS WERE JUST KIND OF CONFUSINGLY ORGANIZED IN THE PRIOR DRAFTS, AND WE CAME TO ME. MAN INTERRUPTING. ASK YOU A QUESTION, SIR. IS THERE ANYTHING IN THIS SCREENING THAT ALLOWED THE STAFF TO HAVE DISCRETION ON THAT WITHOUT HAVING TO COME TO COUNSEL TO PUT A BUSH AND FROM THERE BAY DOORS. THERE IS A. I THINK THERE'S SOME DISCRETION FOR STAFF TO LOOK AT THE INDIVIDUAL SITE THERE AND TO THINK ABOUT ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE AS WELL. ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IS ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE HAS BEEN INTRODUCED INTO THE DRAFT. SO. WE HAVE THE STANDARDS ON THE PAGE. BUT IF SOMEONE HAS A BETTER IDEA FOR HOW TO IMPLEMENT, UH, ON THEIR
[00:10:03]
WAY TO IMPLEMENT THE STANDARDS ON THEIR SITE, THEY CAN COME TALK TO THE STAFF AND JUST HAVE A CONVERSATION. ABOUT HOW TO A BETTER WAY TO DO THAT. SO THAT MIGHT BE AN EXAMPLE OF WHERE AND I KNOW I'M BEING VERY SPECIFIC IN YOUR GIVING US A GENERAL OVERVIEW, BUT THAT JUST CAME TO MIND AND THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME INTERRUPT YOU ON THAT SURE. UM. I'LL COME BACK TO ALTER ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE IN A MINUTE BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY POPS UP IN A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT PLACES. UM. REFUSE IN SANITATION CONTAINERS. THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO PULL IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE MCKINNEY ORDINANCES AND RULES INTO ONE PLACE. SOLID WASTE SERVICES ALREADY HAS RULES FOR REFUGE AND SERVICE CONTAINERS, BUT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO PULL THEM IN TO THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT CODE, ALONG WITH LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING THESE OTHER THINGS. SO AGAIN, IT'S JUST KIND OF MORE. ONE STOP SHOP.WHICH IS CONVENIENT FOR THE CODE USER. PARKING AND LOADING. THIS IS ALWAYS A BIG PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT CODE HOW MUCH PARKING IS REQUIRED FOR A PROJECT AND HOW DOES THE PARKING LOT HAVE TO BE DESIGNED? YOU ALL HAVE SEEN PART OF THIS ALREADY. THIS IS ONE OF THE PIECES OF THE PROJECT THAT WE FRONT LOADED AT THE VERY BEGINNING AS A SHORT TERM AMENDMENT, AND YOU LOOKED AT SOME EARLY OPTIONS FOR INCREASED FLEXIBILITY FOR PARKING. AND YOU ADOPT THIS IN EARLY 2021. NOW WE'RE COMING BACK WITH ADDITIONAL EDITS TO THE PARKING SECTION WITH GOING THROUGH ALL THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT USES IN WAGES TABLE. WOULD COMPARED THOSE PARKING REQUIREMENTS TO YOUR SISTER CITIES. PLANO FRISCO, ALAN, ETCETERA JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE NOT OUT OF LINE WITH ANY OF THEM. UM. UH ADDED ADDITIONAL ILLUSTRATIONS FOR PARKING LOT DESIGN THAT TYPE OF THING, SO A LOT OF A LOT OF GOOD CLEAN UP WORK HAS BEEN DONE IN THAT PART OF THE CODE.
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STANDARDS. UH VERY MINOR CHANGES IN THIS GO ROUND. OF THIS DRAFT. AS YOU RECALL, MCKINNEY DID SOME IMPORTANT EDITS TO THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STANDARDS IN RESPONSE TO STATE LAW CHANGES THAT LIMITED CITIES ABILITIES TO REGULATE EXTERIOR BUILDING MATERIALS. THAT WAS DONE BACK IN 2019. SO THAT THAT'S ALREADY BEEN FED INTO THIS PART OF THE CODE. SO THIS THIS GO AROUND REALLY WAS NOT A LOT OF CHANGES. WE DID BREAK OUT THE MULTI FAMILY SITE DESIGN STANDARDS. YOU KNOW, THE SECTION THAT REQUIRES MULTI FAMILY PROJECTS TO BE HIGH QUALITY AND TO PROVIDE. PROJECT AMENITIES AND OPEN SPACE THAT'S THAT'S BEEN BROKEN OUT AS ITS OWN SECTION. THAT'S ALL ZONING. THAT'S ALL THE ZONING TYPE THINGS THAT WE'VE COVERED. THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS IN OTHER PARTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT CODE. THEY'RE ALL THOSE TWO HERE. SUBDIVISION. VERY MINOR CHANGES.
SO FAR IN THAT PART, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT CHANGES ELSEWHERE AND SUBDIVISION STANDARDS BUT SUBMITTED AND PROCEDURES BUT IN TERMS OF SUBDIVISION STANDARDS, VERY MINOR CHANGES SO FAR.
YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN THE SIGN ORDINANCE. YOU ADOPTED THAT AS PART OF THE SHORT TERM CODE AMENDMENTS THAT'S NOW BEEN FOLDED INTO THIS DRAFT OF THE DEVELOPMENT CODE. THE LIGHTING SECTION IS ANOTHER ONE THAT GOT A LOT OF SURGERY JUST IN TERMS OF THE LANGUAGE AND THE ORGANIZATION AND THE CLEAN UP SOME THINGS THAT WERE DONE TO SIMPLIFY THAT AND ACTUAL PRACTICE. FOR EXAMPLE, THERE'S A NEW PROCEDURE FOR CALCULATING, LUMINOUS BASICALLY, THAT'S JUST MEASURING LIGHT LEVELS MEASURING LIGHT INTENSITY, AND THERE'S A SIMPLIFIED MECHANISM AS PROPOSED IN THE CODE FOR THAT. VERY MINOR CLEANUP CHANGES TO THE FENCE STANDARDS, NO CHANGES AT ALL. TO THE TO THE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT STANDARDS. YOU CAN SEE THE FIRST PAGES OF ALL THESE ARTICLES. THESE ARE ALL FREESTANDING ARTICLES IN THE DEVELOPMENT CODE. SEPARATE FROM ZONE. NOW THAT'S THAT'S A THAT'S A LOT AS AN OVERVIEW. I WANTED TO ZERO IN ON JUST A COUPLE OF THEMES THAT REALLY CROSS A LOT OF THESE DIFFERENT TOPICS THAT HAVE TALKED ABOUT FIRST OF ALL RESIDENTIAL ADJACENT. YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS A LOT WITH YOU ALL. YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A NEW PROJECT COMES IN A NEW APARTMENT BUILDING IN NEW NONRESIDENTIAL. HOW DO YOU ENSURE THAT IT'S YOU KNOW, UH, NOT GOING TO BE A BAD NEIGHBOR. TO EXISTING RESIDENTIAL. THAT'S ALREADY THERE. JUST EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY. WE KIND OF CALL THAT RESIDENTIAL ADJACENCY. WHAT ARE THE STANDARDS TO CONTROL AGAINST? AND THIS SLIDE REALLY COLLECTS A LOT OF THE STANDARDS THAT GET AT THAT ISSUE THAT ARE THREADED THROUGHOUT THE CODE. A LOT OF YOU YOU HAD ALREADY DOWN THE LEFT HAND SIDE. THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO HIGHLIGHT. IN THE CODE THAT REALLY GET AT THAT RESIDENTIAL ADJACENCY ISSUE. UM YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW THE LOCATION AND ORIENTATION OF LOADING DOCKS. YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE INTENDED TO BE AWAY FROM RESIDENTIAL AREAS. BUT ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE WE'VE HIGHLIGHTED SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE NEW IN THIS DRAFT. I TALKED ABOUT THE REFUSE IN SANITATION, SANITATION PIECE, YOU KNOW THE TRASH CANS DUMPSTERS WHERE THOSE LOCATED WE'VE GOT BETTER LANGUAGE THERE ABOUT. MINIMIZING THEIR IMPACT THEIR VISUAL IMPACT ON ON RESIDENTIAL AREAS. THE SAME THING WITH PARKING AND LOADING, TRYING TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACTS THEIR ON RESIDENTIAL AREAS. ONE
[00:15:03]
PIECE THAT IS NOT IN THIS DRAFT YET, BUT IT'S PART OF THIS TOPIC IS BUILDING HEIGHTS, AND THIS IS GOING TO BE PROPOSED WHEN WE COME BACK AND AARON MENTIONED THE OVERALL CONSOLIDATED DRAFT OF THE CODE WHEN THAT COMES BACK, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S GOING TO BE INCLUDED IN THERE IS A PROPOSED RESTRICTION ON BUILDING HEIGHT. OR PROPOSED ADDITIONAL SETBACKS REQUIRED FOR CERTAIN SIZE BUILDINGS AND THEIR ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL SO YOU CAN SEE THAT TABLE. Y'ALL HAVEN'T SEEN THIS BEFORE. BUT WHEN A NON RESIDENTIAL OR MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING WITH MULTIPLE STORIES COMES IN. ADJACENT TO EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL OR SINGLE FAMILY USE. YOU'D HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL STEP BACK SETBACKS THAT WOULD APPLY AND AGAIN. IT'S JUST THAT'S A PRETTY COMMON ZONING TOOL, BUT IT'S JUST TRYING TO CREATE ADDITIONAL SPACE BETWEEN THE LARGER BUILDING THAT'S COMING IN. AN EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD JUST TRYING TO PRESERVE LEAD CHARACTER. ANOTHER THEME THAT CUTS ACROSS A LOT OF THESE SECTIONS IS FLEXIBILITY. WE HAVE AGAIN COLLECTED HERE ON THE SLIDE A LOT OF THE TOOLS FOR FLEXIBILITY THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR CURRENT CODE, YOU KNOW, ZONING VARIANCES APPEALS OF ADMINISTRATIVE DECISIONS ALL THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. WE'VE ADDED NEW ONES AS WELL, THOUGH. UH I MENTIONED IN THE TREE SURVEY. NOW YOU'VE GOT THE OPTION OF SUBMITTING AN AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH TO AS AN ACCOUNT OF THE TREES ON THE SITE JUST.INTENDED TO PROVIDE MORE FLEXIBILITY THERE. IN THE PARKING SECTION, AN APPLICANT CAN COME IN WITH THE PARKING STUDY AND SAY WHY THEY SHOULD HAVE SOME DIFFERENT PARKING REQUIREMENT THAN THE TABLES AND THE CODE WOULD. BUT OTHERWISE DICTATE, SO THERE'S A LOT MORE FLEXIBILITY IN THAT PIECE. UH AND THEN, FINALLY, ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE. WE TALKED ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT. THIS APPLIES FOR LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING. IMPORTANT BUT THE IDEA HERE IS THAT. YOU'VE GOT A STANDARD IN THE CODE, BUT SOMEBODY CAN COME IN AND JUST SAY, HEY, I'VE GOT A BETTER WAY OF MEETING THE INTENT OF THE CODE, EVEN IF IT DOESN'T COMPLY WITH THE STRICT LETTER OF THE LAW. AND THIS IS WHAT YOU REPEAT THAT FOR ME? SURE I'VE GOT I'VE GOT A BETTER WAY OF COMPLYING WITH THE INTENT OF THE CODE, EVEN IF IT DOESN'T COMPLY WITH THE STRICT LETTER OF THE STANDARDS. IT'S ILLUSTRATED ON THIS SLIDE HERE. IT APPLIES FOR LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING. BASICALLY LET'S JUST LOOK AT THAT BOTTOM BOX. THE BOTTOM TEXT FOR ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE. OFFERING COMPLAINTS AND BASICALLY, ALTERNATE COMPLIANCE MAY BE REQUESTED AND GRANTED, UH, FOR SCREENING REQUIREMENTS, YOU KNOW, SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING EVALUATION CRITERIA. MEETS THE PURPOSE OF THE SECTION. THE MINIMUM HEIGHT OF THE REQUIRED SCREENING IS NOT REDUCED. THE ALTERNATE DESIGN IS COMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING ANTICIPATED FUTURE ADJACENT LAND USES. EXCEPT SO. BASICALLY THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME IN WITH YOUR SITE PLAN AND SAY, HEY, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY AND HOW MY PARTICULAR SITE IS LOOKED AT IN TERMS OF THESE STANDARDS, WHO GRANTED. THIS WOULD BE SUBJECT TO WHOEVER IS THE DECISION MAKER ON THE ASSOCIATED APPLICATION, SO IF IT'S THE STAFF DECISION, THEY WOULD MAKE IT. IF IT WAS A COUNCIL DECISION, THEY WOULD MAKE IT.
IT'S NOT A FREESTANDING PROCEDURE. IT KIND OF. IT'S A PIGGYBACK ALONG SOME OTHER TYPE OF PROCEDURE IN THE CODE, AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I HAVE ULTIMATE CONFIDENCE IN OUR STAFF TO MAKE DECISIONS WITHOUT HAVING TO COME TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING ARE COME TO THE CITY COUNCIL. IS WHAT I'M ASKING THOSE QUESTIONS. IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS IS A REALLY GOOD APPROACH. IT'S VERY TARGETED IN THE PLACES WHERE YOU CAN USE THIS.
IT'S NOT ACROSS THE BOARD HAVE TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS TODAY WHERE YOU CAN'T USE ALTERNATIVE ALTERNATE COMPLIANCE. IT'S JUST SCREENING AND LANDSCAPING RIGHT NOW.
THAT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO TEST IT IN PRACTICE AND SEE. ARE WE COMFORTABLE WITH THE WAY THESE DECISIONS ARE MADE AN EXPANDED. SOME COMMUNITIES EXPANDED, SOME SHRINKING. I OFTEN SAY AND STUFF LIKE THIS, YOU KNOW, YOU REALLY NEED TO CONSIDER THE NEW CODE AS A LIVING DOCUMENT AND YOU NEED TO ANTICIPATE COMING BACK IN A YEAR OR 18 MONTHS AND SAY HOW WELL HAVE SOME OF THESE NEWS TOOLS WORKED, AND YOU SHOULD BE KEEPING TRACK OF THE ALTERNATE COMPLIANCE REQUEST YOU GET AND THEN AT A RETREAT OR SOMETHING YOU CAN EVALUATE THOSE AND SAY, ARE WE HAPPY? WITH THE LEVEL OF QUALITY THAT WE GOT FROM THOSE ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE REQUESTS. SHOULD WE CONSIDER IT? IN OTHER CONTEXTS FOR BUILDING DESIGN. IT'S A IT'S AN IMPORTANT NEW TOOL. IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING TO WATCH. THINK THAT'S MY LAST SLIDE. ERIN UM THIS IS A THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY NOW JUST TO STEP BACK A LOT OF MATERIAL.
BUT DO YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? DO YOU HAVE A. THOUGHTS ABOUT KIND OF PROGRESS SO FAR AND ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE ME TO COVER IN MORE DETAIL. I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
ON THE IDEA OF TRYING TO DEFINE AND CREATE THIS MISSING MIDDLE OR, YOU KNOW, THE KIND OF MORE
[00:20:02]
FLEXIBLE IN BETWEEN HOUSING. ON PAGE 25. WE'VE GOT PARKING REQUIREMENTS. UM. AND IT SAYS FOUR SPACES PER DWELLING UNIT. TWO OF WHICH MUST BE ENCLOSED. SO ON DUPLEX TODAY. WE HAVE A REQUIREMENT FOR TWO SPACES WHERE EVERY UNIT AND WE'RE INCREASING IT BEFORE. UM THAT IS WHAT THE CURRENT DRAFT SAYS ON PAGE 25. I THINK THERE'S UM. UH WE'VE JUST BEEN DISCUSSING THIS TODAY. INTERNALLY THE INTENT WAS TO CARRY FORWARD THE CURRENT REQUIREMENTS. UM, WHICH IS. TWO SPACES PREACH UNIT, INCLUDING TO COVER DURING CLOSED MM. A LITERAL INTERPRETATION OF THAT BEFORE, IF THE FIRST TWO OR NOT ACCOUNT THE APRON CLOSED, AND SO THAT'S BEEN CARRIED FORWARD, UM. THIS DRAFT HAS THAT APPLIED TO SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED. DUPLEXES, TRY FLEXES AND QUAD FLEXES. MM. POEM. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT THE DRAFT HAS. SO JUST IN IN PRACTICE ON A. MINIMUM LOT SIZE FOR A DUPLEX OF 5000 FT. WE'VE GOT. 2500 ALMOST HALF OF THAT RESERVE FOR SETBACKS. AND THEN ANOTHER 400 WITHIN THE BUILDING AREA. THAT HAS WOULD HAVE TO BE A NOT 408 100 WITHIN THE BUILDING AREA. THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE USED FOR PARKING. THIS IS A GOOD YES, THAT'S THAT'S THE WAY THAT PLAYS OUT AND WE WERE HONESTLY JUST HAVING THIS CONVERSATION. I THINK, UM, IT'S. RIGHT FOR DISCUSSION. YOU KNOW, I THINK, UM. YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THESE AREAS ARE WELL PARKED. YOU'RE NOT CREATING SPILLOVER PARKING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT YOU ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT PARKING THAT'S REQUIRED IS NOT A DISINCENTIVE TO CREATE A CERTAIN PRODUCT. IF YOU IF YOU WANT TO DO A QUAD PLEX UNDER THIS DRAFT, YOU HAVE TO DEVOTE A LARGE PART OF THAT SITE TO PARKING. SO I UM. IT'S I KNOW IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S BEING LOOKED AT STILL AND MIGHT BE REFINED IN THE. IN THE CONSOLIDATED GRAPH. IF YOU HAVE THOUGHTS AND ABOUT HOW IS DRAFTING NOW WE LOVE TO GET. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PARKING AND DEPENDING ON THE DENSITY THAT YOU'VE GOT IN THE AREA IF YOU'VE GOT ONE DUPLEX IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THAT WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO STREET PARKING. AND IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD. IT'S A WE'RE TRYING TO INCENTIVIZE CREATING A LITTLE BIT MORE DENSITY. AND THEN WE JUST USED UP ALL THE DENSITY THAT WE CREATED BY ADDING MORE PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND. ANOTHER SLIDE YOU SHOWED JUST A MINUTE AGO. WITH THE SETBACKS THAT YOU HAD THAT YOU SAID WE HADN'T SEEN THE YES, THE RESIDENT ADJACENCY. SO WHEN YOU'RE HERE, YOU'RE SAYING THAT THIS IS. NON RESIDENTIAL MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. ARE YOU DEFINING MULTI FAMILY IS ANYTHING OVER FOR IT THAT POINT SO IT WOULDN'T BE APPLIED TO A DUPLEX OR. I THINK THE INTENT IS YES, THIS WOULD BE, UM. IT WHEN IT'S ADJACENT TO SINGLE FAMILY UP TO ACQUIRED PLEX. AND THAT ANYTHING ABOVE THAT WOULD BE THE MULTI FAMILY. SO I COULD BUILD A IF I'VE GOT A. MULTI FAMILIES OWNING A FIVE OR MORE, UM. I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A 50 FT. SETBACK FOR A TWO STORY VERSUS IF I HAD A QUAD PLEX THAT COULD DEAL WITH A FIVE FT SETBACK. FIVE. YEAH UNDER THE WAY I DESCRIBED IT NOW THIS IS STILL UH, THIS HASN'T BEEN PUT IN THE DRAFT, YET. WE'RE KIND OF TESTING A CONCEPT. UM, I DON'T KNOW. WE HAVE WE HAVE MULTI FAMILY SETBACKS. NOW I JUST. FROM A TWO STORY WHERE I COULD BUILD A TWO STOREY QUAD PLEX. AND GET A FIVE FT SETBACK. BUT IF I HAVE A TWO STORY FIVE UNIT BUILDING. AND I'VE GOT TO HAVE A 50 FT SET PACKAGES. SEEMS LIKE YOU COULD POTENTIALLY, YOU KNOW, DO A STEP BACK, STEP DOWN WITH THE BUILDING AND SO PART OF THE BUILDING THAT'S WITHIN THE ALLOWED SETBACK WOULD BE WANTS TO WANTS TO WHATEVER THE WHATEVER IS THE ALLOWANCE FOR THAT DISTRICT. AND THEN THIS ADDITIONAL STEP BACK, SO STEP BACK KICK IN AFTER 50 FT. I JUST I FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOME, YOU KNOW, WE'VE WE'VE SEEN THE IMAGE OF THE MISSING MIDDLE AND I FEEL LIKE WE COULD, YOU KNOW, PUT SOME PARKING LOTS IN THAT IMAGE TO MAYBE. IT'S NOT REALLY IT DOESN'T REALLY FEEL LIKE IT MAY COME OUT TO THAT, UM. UH ONE OTHER QUESTION I HAD ON THE AND THIS IS EXISTING. REGULATIONS THIS ISN'T NECESSARILY ANYTHING WITH CHANGES. BUT IF OUT. AM I READING IT RIGHT ON PAGE 57.BUFFERING STANDARDS. BUFFERING SHOULD BE PROVIDED IN THE FORM OF A COMMON AREA, WHEREAS
[00:25:02]
RESIDENTIAL LOT WOULD OTHERWISE BACK UP BACK OR SIDE TO A STREET AND SHALL BE A MINIMUM WITH INDICATED IN TABLE 31. SO WE'VE GOT. REQUIREMENT FOR BUFFERING TO A. KIND OF A NINE UH, FRONTAGE STREET. HE WOULD ASSUME AN ORDER, ARTERIAL STREET OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.AND THEN. THAT CARRIES OVER INTO THE. TWO PAGES LATER 59 IN THE EVENT THAT ANY COMMON AREA OR PART OF THE PLANT THE COMMON AREAS, SO WE'VE SHOWN AS A PRELIMINARY PRINT WITH THE ADEQUATE FORM OF DEDICATION, DEDICATION. FORMER SOVIET ACCOMPLISHED THE FOLLOWING.
PURPOSES SO THIS BASICALLY SAYS THAT WE'VE GOT TO HAVE. HOME OWNERS OF PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION, SO. IF SOMEONE IS DEVELOPING A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD TODAY, THEY WERE ESSENTIALLY GOT TO HAVE AN IDEA. CAUSE WE HAVE A BUFFERING SETBACK THAT REQUIRES COMMON OWNERSHIP. AND THAT COMMON OWNERSHIP THEN HAS. SOME SORT OF GOVERNING BODY OVER IT. IS THAT CORRECT? YES THAT IS CORRECT ANY ANY NEIGHBORHOOD THAT PROVIDES A COMMON AREA? THEY DO HAVE TO HAVE AN H AWAY TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE ARE BEING PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND TAKEN CARE OF, SO WE DO REQUIRE THAT FOR NEIGHBORHOODS SO ANY DEVELOPMENT WE HAVE IN THE FUTURE, WHETHER SINGLE FAMILY OR THIS MISSING MIDDLE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. WOULD BE GOVERNED BY AN H OY. WE'RE WE DON'T CREATE NON ALWAYS NON H PROPERTIES ANYMORE. ESSENTIALLY YES, IF THEY IF THEY SAID IF THEY HAVE A COMMON AREA, BUT THE COMMON AREA THERE'S A REQUIREMENT FOR COMMON AREA. FOR ANY BUFFERING, CORRECT CORRECT. SO AND THEY WOULD ALL HAVE TO HAVE SOME SORT OF BUFFERING UNLESS THEY WERE SOME ODD INFILL LOCATIONS. THAT'S CORRECT. WELL, THESE ARE JUST SUBDIVISIONS WERE IN THE SUBDIVISION ARTICLE. YEAH. SO WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT JUST ANY INFILL PROJECT THAT COMES IN ON UNDER THE ZONING ORDINANCE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD REQUIRE A FLAT THROUGH THE SUBDIVISION PROCEDURES, AND THAT'S WHERE THE HIT YOUR WAY PROVISIONS KICK IN. SO IT'S NOT JUST ANY DEVELOPMENT, IT WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH SUBDIVISION. RIGHT? BUT RIGHT ANY ANY SUBDIVISION IS GOING TO REQUIRE AN H I GUESS MY. THE WAY. YEAH THAT'S THAT. THAT'S THAT'S YOUR CURRENT LANGUAGE NOW. YEAH AND THE SCREENING AND BUFFERING FOR A LOT OF THOSE THOSE INSTANCES LIKE YOU HAD MENTIONED THERE SET UP NEXT TO, YOU KNOW RIGHT AWAY ARTERIALS, SO IT'S ONLY IF IT ACTUALLY GOES OUT INTO THAT SENSE OF ITS SETBACK. COMMERCIAL OUT IN FRONT OF IT, AND IT'S SEPARATED. THEN YOU WOULDN'T NECESSARILY NEED A COMMENTARY. AND SO THERE ARE SOME INSTANCES WHERE YOU COULD SEE THAT CHANGE. BUT. IN A LOT OF THEM. IF YOU DO HAVE A COMMENTARY, YES, YOU'RE YOU WOULD THERE NEED TO HAVE. SOME REALLY SOMETHING WRONG. THAT'S ON MULTI FAMILY OR NON RESIDENTIAL IS WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SETBACKS, WHICH WILL BE COMMON AREA. TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. COUNCIL MEMBER IS YEAH. SORRY. PAGE 57 OF THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS WITH WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO ON THE SETBACKS, THEY'RE NOT THE SETBACKS ON. RESIDENTIAL JASON THING, THIS WOULD BE A ZONING. UM YEAH. THIS IS THIS IS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CHANGES JUST KIND OF HAS TO DO KIND OF WITH THE CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD IN THE PRIOR MEETING WITH. UM YOU KNOW, FINDING WAYS TO BRING ABOUT A DIFFERENT TYPE OF HOUSING, STOCK AND ONE THE MORE AFFORDABLE AND IT DOES HAVE TO DO WITH THAT. MISSING MIDDLE COMPONENT THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHEN WE ADD COSTS TO THINGS AND WE KIND OF LAYER IN THESE REQUIREMENTS. UM YOU KNOW THAT A COMMENT THAT I'VE READ A LOT AND LAND USE TALKS ABOUT HOW WE DON'T HAVE THE SAME TOOLS THAT A LOT OF OUR. CITIES WERE ORIGINALLY BUILT ON AND YOU KNOW WHEN I'M READING. SETBACK REQUIREMENTS AND BUFFERING REQUIREMENTS AND PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND. LOT SIZE REGULATIONS AND ALL THOSE THINGS WE CAN'T READ. LIKE LIKE HOW EVAN? YOU KNOW, JUST NORTH OF DOWNTOWN, WE COULDN'T RECREATE OLD MCKINNEY BASED OFF HER ZONING REGULATIONS TODAY, WOULD YOU SAY THAT'S FAIR? YEAH, PROBABLY AGREE WITH THAT STATEMENT. YEAH I THINK YOU WOULD HAVE TO SET UP SOMETHING WE DIFFERENT TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT SO. BUT I THINK THERE HAS BEEN DISCUSSION ABOUT SMALLER LOTS OF DISTRICTS AND THERE ARE ZONE DISTRICTS, NOT REALLY PART OF THIS CONVERSATION EARLIER MODULES WE ARE TRYING TO TALK ABOUT A BROADER MENU OF SOME DISTRICTS THAT CAN BE USED IN THE FUTURE. TO CREATE A WIDER VARIETY OF PLACE TYPES. NOT SURE EXACTLY WHICH AREA TALKING ABOUT, SO I'M NOT SURE ABOUT RECREATING IT. BUT. I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT THE HOLDER PART OF TOWN WHERE WE HAVE A VARIETY OF LOT SIZES AND WE. YOU KNOW, IT IS A MIXED BAG OF. PROXIMITY TO THE DIFFERENT USES. AND UM,
[00:30:05]
YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT DUPLEXES AND OTHER THINGS DOWN HERE AND SOME SOME OLD. UH ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, AND IT'S JUST. IT'S A UNIQUE AREA THAT EVERYBODY THAT I ENJOY LIVING IN, BUT WE CAN'T RECREATE IT. UM, BECAUSE. AND FROM BOTH FROM A COST STANDPOINT OR UM YOU KNOW A FIELD STANDPOINT? BUT ANYWAY, I MEAN, LIKE IN TERMS OF WHAT WE CODIFY HERE, WHAT WE'RE CREATING AN ORDINANCE. LIKE. THIS IS AGAIN PART OF THE DISCUSSION. WE END UP WITH TWO PRODUCT TAX. WE END UP WITH A LARGE SINGLE FAMILY HOME OR WE END UP WITH MULTI FAMILY. AND YOU KNOW, JUST FINDING THAT MISSING MIDDLE. WE'VE GOT TO ADDRESS SOME OF THESE OTHER THINGS LIKE THE PARKING LIKE THE BUFFERING REQUIREMENTS LIKE THE. UH YOU KNOW THESE THESE KIND OF ODD THINGS THAT POP UP AND. WHEN WE HAVE THEM THAT JUST BECOME BURDENS OR HURDLES THAT PEOPLE CROSS, SO I KNOW IT'S. IT'S KIND OF A PROCESS, BUT IT'S AN EXCELLENT COMMON AND I WOULD SAY THAT. WE'RE GETTING TO A POINT IN THE PROJECT. WE'RE NOW WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO STEP BACK AND LOOK AT THE ENTIRE CODE HOLISTICALLY. AND PUT UP WITH ALL THE PIECES PUT TOGETHER. MAN. LOT OF COMMUNITIES THEN CAN LIKE LOOK AT EXAMPLES, AND THEY SAY, WELL, THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO BUILD. YOU KNOW? HOW WOULD WE DO IT WITH THE NEW CODE WOULD TEST TO THE NEW CODE AND SEE IS IT GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW EASIER TO DO SOME OF THESE MISSING MIDDLE TYPES AND. THAT'S A GOOD TIME IN THE PROCESS TO JUST CHECK AND SAY, HAVE WE LEFT ANYTHING OUT? OR ARE THERE ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR FLEXIBILITY FOR THOSE TYPES OF THINGS? SO IT'S. IT'S A GREAT COMMENT, AND I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO BE THINKING ABOUT THINGS YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE FUTURE OF MCKINNEY, AND WE CAN CONSIDER THOSE AS LITTLE TESTS TO SEE. CAN WE GET HIM DOWN? NO, I'VE DONE THAT. OTHER QUESTIONS. THE OTHER QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. I THINK WE HAVE A FEW MORE SLIDES ON NEXT STEPS BECAUSE WE JUST STARTED TALKING ABOUT NEXT STEPS. OKAY? AND JUST AS KIND OF MENTIONED BEFORE RIGHT NOW, WE'RE CURRENTLY IN THE PUBLIC OUTREACH PROCESS, SO THE DRAFT IS ONLINE AND AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE TO REVIEW SPENT SOME TIME WITH IT. MAKE COMMENTS AND ASK QUESTIONS. ALSO, WE HAVE THE. PUBLIC SURVEY OUT THERE. THAT'S GEARED SPECIFICALLY TOWARDS SOME OF THOSE CHANGES AND BEING ABLE TO RESPOND TO THOSE ALSO, WE'VE MET WITH THE MDC. UM IT'S WRONG UP THERE, BUT WE MET WITH THEM LAST WEEK ON THE 22ND. NOT THE 28TH. BUT RIGHT NOW, THEY CURRENTLY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO THROUGH THE DOCUMENT AND GIVE A KIND OF A RED LINE REVIEW SHOWS WHAT'S GOING ON. UM ALSO. COUNCIL AND PNC.
