ITEM. 220061 Z FOUR CONDUCTED PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER DISCUSSING ACT ON A REQUEST TO REASON. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AND REGIONAL EMPLOYMENT CENTER OVERLAY DISTRICT TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 335 FT. SOUTH OF SILVERADO TRAIL ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE ROAD. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR . AS YOU READ THIS AS A REQUEST TO REZONE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. IT'S APPROXIMATELY 11 ACRES IN SIZE. LOCATED THERE AT SILVERADO AND ALMA. THE CURRENT ZONING ON THE PROPERTY IS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT P D THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL USES WITH THE REZONING. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF MULTI FAMILY USES ACROSS THE SITE. THERE ARE A

[00:15:06]

NUMBER OF SPACE LIMIT AND PARKING LOT. NO. AH, I APOLOGIZE . THERE WE GO. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF, UM SPACE LIMITS AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS THAT HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE PROPOSED PD ZONING. THOSE WERE ALL OUTLINED FOR YOU WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT . IN GENERAL, THE REQUEST WOULD BE TO ALIGN THE MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT WITH THE CITY'S STANDARD MF 30 ZONING DISTRICT WITH THE PD. THE AFRICAN IS PROPOSING TO CAP THE NUMBER OF UNITS AT 23 UNITS TO THE ACRE.

STAFF'S REVIEW THE REQUEST WE DO FIND THAT IT IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH DESIGNATES THIS PROPERTY IS URBAN LIVING AS AN 11 ACRE TRACT. IT IS SURROUNDED ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE BY A SELF STORAGE FACILITY. IT IS SOMEWHAT OF AN AWKWARD SHAPED PROPERTY, GIVEN THOSE FACTORS. WE DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ALSO RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AND A 61 VOTE. I WILL NOTE THAT COMMISSION MEMBER MAN'S I WAS OPPOSED TO THE REQUEST. FOLLOWING THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, THE APPLICANT HAS WORKED TO ADDRESS THEM ADDITIONAL CONCERNS THAT WERE RAISED ON THE PROPERTY. AND WITH THAT I DO HAVE A REDLINE VERSION. THEY ARE PROPOSING A COUPLE OF CHANGES AND THAT STAFF IS ALSO IN FAVOR WITH WALK THROUGH THEM AND ALSO HAND OUT A COPY OF THE RED LINE. UM AS PART OF THEIR P AND Z PRESENTATION, THE APPLICANT HAD A CONCEPTUAL LAYOUT THAT SHOWED WHAT THEY CALLED TOWN HOMES OR BROWNSTONE STYLE UNITS ALONG THE PERIMETERS OF THE PROPERTY. THERE WAS SOME CONCERN WITH ENSURING THAT THOSE DEVELOPED AS THE CONCEPT PLAN HAD SHOWN AND SO WITH THIS RED LINE VERSION IN FRONT OF US TODAY, THEY HAVE ACTUALLY REQUIRED MADE THAT A REQUIREMENT NOW OF THE ZONING. THEY'VE ALSO ADDED A REQUIREMENT WITHIN THE ZONING TO HAVE A CERTAIN MIX OF UNIT TYPES SO THAT THERE ARE 33 BEDROOM. TWO BEDROOM AND ONE BEDROOM UNITS THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT . I KNOW THE APPLICANT HAS A PRESENTATION, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THAT CONCEPT PLAN THAT SHOULD VERY WELL ALIGNED WITH THE, UH, RED LINE VERSIONS OF THE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS INCLUDED TONIGHT SO I'LL HAND THOSE TOGETHER. WITH THAT, BUT THE ADDITIONAL STANDARDS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED WITH THE RED LINES TONIGHT ARE ACTUALLY MORE RESTRICTIVE THAN WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY PROPOSED. AFTER STILL IN FULL SUPPORT OF THAT, UM AND I KNOW THE APPLICANTS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AS AM I AND MY STAFF JENNIFER, YOU SAID THEIR PRESENTATION WILL BE ALIGNED WITH THE RED LINE. THAT IS CRIME, SIR. ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR JENNIFER BEFORE WE HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT. THANK YOU, JENNIFER. THE APPLICANT COME UP, PLEASE. STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. IF YOU WOULD PLEASE CERTAINLY MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. MY NAME IS TRADE JACOBSON. I'M A LAND USE CONSULTANT AND MY ADDRESSED AT 1 24 EAST EDGEWOOD PLACE IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS. AND TODAY, THIS WORKS OOPS. SORRY. I'M REPRESENTING THE LANDMARK COMPANIES NOT FAMILIAR WITH HIM . IT'S A NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT COMPANY THAT DOES HIGH QUALITY PROJECTS OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF PRODUCT TYPES, BOTH HERE AS WELL AS ACROSS THE NATION, AND I'M IN FACT, JOINED TODAY BY ERICK STRICKLAND, WHO'S ASSET MANAGER , MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR FOR LANDMARK AS WELL AS JOHN HOP, WHO'S THE VICE PRESIDENT OF CONSTRUCTION, SO IF THERE IS ANY PARTICULAR QUESTIONS FOR THEM WE ALSO HAVE OUR CIVIL ENGINEER WITH MANHART CONSULTING THAT'S AVAILABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR QUESTIONS. THE COUNCIL MAY HAVE STAFF IS ALREADY IDENTIFIED THE LOCATION AT ALL MAMA AND YOUR SILVERADO. IF YOU EVER NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE SITE, THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. IT'S RELATIVELY FLAT, UNDEVELOPED.

THAT'S NOT PARTICULARLY IT'S GOT A RADIO TOWER THAT LARGELY LOOMS OVER THE SITE. THIS IS LOOKING DIRECTLY AT FROM THE PROPER ACROSS THE PROPERTY FROM ALMA. WORK WITH ME. I WAS SKIPPED OVER IT. AH! STAFF MENTIONED IT WAS PREVIOUSLY PD, WHICH WITH GOING BACK 15 YEARS AGO THAT THAT WAS INTENDED AS RETAIL COMMERCIAL, BUT ALSO HAD A LOT OF MORE INTENSE TYPES OF COMMERCIAL USES THAT ARE LISTED ON THE CHART, INCLUDING, LIKE LAUNDRY CLEANING PLANT THAT CLINICAL VAL DOOR RUN THINGS THAT YOU MIGHT NOT SEE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD ENVIRONMENT. IN FACT, THAT'S SOME OF THAT AS WELL WAS DEVELOPED. ULTIMATELY THERE, INCLUDING THE SELF STORAGE FACILITY, AND LIKE YOU CAN SEE THE RADIO TOWER OUTLINE IN GREEN. ON THE CORNER, WHICH WAS NOT ADDRESSED. THERE'S A LEGACY HOME BUSINESS THAT WAS THERE. IT'S STILL ZONED AG. I THINK IT WAS PROBABLY PREDATES SOME OF THE ANNEXATION BASED UPON PLANNING PROTOCOLS. IT HAS A VERY ALMOST INDUSTRIAL USE TO THE BACK SIDE OF IT, WHICH ABUTS THE SITE. AS PART OF OUR PROCESS . WE DO EXTENSIVE COMMUNITY

[00:20:08]

OUTREACH, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I PERSONALLY DID WAS SENT OUT LETTERS TO ALL OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE NOTIFIED AS PART OF THIS ZONING CASE. AND UH AND WE HAD A MEETING IN JANUARY, RIGHT NEAR THE SITE AT REDEEMER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH AND THE OVERALL FEEDBACK WAS SUPPORTIVE OF THIS PROPOSED LAND USE IN THE PRODUCT. AT THE TIME, WE WERE CONTEMPLATING MORE OF A TRADITIONAL MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT. UM INTERESTINGLY, WE GOT SOME FEEDBACK THAT THERE WAS ACTUALLY A PREFERENCE FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD THEY WANTED TO SEE LESS TRADITIONAL. MULTI FAMILY OR URBAN STYLE. THEY REALLY PREFERRED MORE OF A TOWN HOME STYLE DEVELOPMENT. THEY SOME PEOPLE COMMENT THEY WANTED MORE FAMILY SIZED UNITS. SO. TO THE PROCESS ACTUALLY STOPPED BY LANDMARK TO RECONSIDER SOME OF US AS PART OF THE PROCESS, AND SO THEY REDESIGNED THE PROJECT. AND MY APOLOGIES. JUMPY TODAY, SO WE HAD ANOTHER PUBLIC MEETING AND WE CONTACTED ALL THE PROPERTY OWNERS HAD THIS MEETING IN APRIL AND PRESENTED A REVISED CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE SITE THAT SHOWED SOME OF THE CONCEPTS THAT WERE ULTIMATELY PRESENTED TO PLANNING AND ZONING. ONLY TWO NEIGHBORS ATTENDED THAT MEETING . DESPITE THE OUTREACH, THEY MADE MINOR REQUEST, AND I SHOULD SAY THAT ALL OF THE NEIGHBORS REQUESTED THIS PROCESS.

INCORPORATED THEY INCORPORATED IN AS PART OF THE PD STANDARDS BEFORE YOU TODAY. THIS WILL GO THERE IT IS SLOW. THIS IS THE CONCEPT PLAN AND I STRESS IT'S CONCEPT BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY TACKLE DETAILS ASSOCIATED WITH DEVELOPMENT THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE ASPECTS OF THIS ARE GOING TO CHANGE AROUND IT. THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT WE WILL TALK ABOUT TODAY THAT WE ARE BEING WANT TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IS THAT THERE ARE STILL SOME TRADITIONAL MULTI FAMILY IN THIS PROJECT. BUT WE'VE INCORPORATED WHAT IS KNOWN AS COTTAGE, MULTI FAMILY. AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL ADVANCE AND IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS CONCEPT IN THIS DISTINCTION IS MADE IN THE UDC FOR MCKINNEY. IT'S BASICALLY SINGLE LOT WITH FIVE OR MORE DWELLING UNITS, BUT IT'S DESIGNED IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT WILL LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS. SO THIS IS WHAT'S KNOWN AS MULTI FAMILY COTTAGE STYLE DEVELOPMENT . AND, OF COURSE, IT'S MULTI FAMILY BY VIRTUE OF THE FACT THAT THEY'RE FIVE INDIVIDUAL UNITS ON THE SAME LOT. IN TERMS OF WHERE THE TRADITIONAL MULTIFAMILY WOULD BE LOCATED IN THESE OUTLINES THE TWO LOCATIONS AND THAT THERE WOULD BE SET OFF THE ROADS DEEPER INTO THE PROJECT. UM SO FROM A VISUAL STANDPOINT. BEVERLY NICE VISUAL APPEAL BECAUSE THE OTHER TWO STORY COTTAGE STYLE WOULD BE MORE TUNED TO WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD LOOKS LIKE. UM THESE WOULD HAVE WON. BEDROOM ONE BATH, TWO BEDROOM, TWO BATH UNITS INCORPORATED THESE THIS IS A STYLE CONCEPT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF HOW THIS WOULD BE SITUATED. LOOK SO AGAIN, NOT PARTICULARLY URBAN SOMETHING OF MORE REFLECTIVE OF THE AREA. THE COTTAGE MULTI FAMILY WOULD BE LOCATED IN ALL THE BOXES THAT WE'RE SHOWCASING IN BLUE HERE. THESE ARE TWO BEDROOM, TWO BATH, THREE BEDROOM , THREE BATH, AND BY THE WAY, WE'RE WE HAVE VOLUNTEERED AND ASKED TO BE REGULATED ON THAT POINT IN CASE THERE'S ANY QUESTION OF THAT THESE ARE INTENDED FOR FAMILIES. THIS IS A STYLE THAT WE REALLY LIKE THAT WE'RE AIMING FOR. JUST KIND OF TELL YOU WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. THIS TOWN HOME STYLE. THIS IS ANOTHER VERSION OF IT KIND OF IN A FARMHOUSE AND AGAIN JUST TO STRESS THE POINT TO BETTER STAND ALONE UNITS. WHAT TO DO WITH INDIVIDUAL ENTRANCES WITH TWO OR THREE BEDROOMS, MINIMUM. NOW. UM . STAFF AND MADE THE COMMENT ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE ARE REQUESTING CHANGES TO THE PD STANDARDS. AND I WOULD JUST SAY IT'S ONE THING FOR A DEVELOPER ME TO GET UP AND PROMISE YOU WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO. IT'S ANOTHER THING TO BE ASKED TO BE REGULATED AND REQUIRED TO DO THAT, AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE WITH SOME OF THESE UH, STANDARDS WERE THE LANDMARK IS VERY HAPPY TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE THINGS AND BE REQUIRED TO DO THESE NOW ONE OF THE KEY ONES THAT WAS REFERRED TO I'LL JUST START WITH THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CHART. THIS IS PART OF OUR EARLY RECORD, YOU KNOW, RESPECT FOR OUR ADJOINING SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORS THAT THERE WILL BE NO DEVELOPMENT. NO MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE 1ST 100 FT. OFF THE PROPERTY LINE. WHAT COULD GO THERE IS GARAGE IS WE HAVE TO PARK A LOT OF CARS AND GARAGES. AND SO THERE WOULD BE NOTHING BUT ONE STORY. THERE OF COURSE THAT'S IN ADDITION TO OTHER LANDSCAPING AND SETBACKS, AND THEN WE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO BUILD TWO STORY COTTAGE. MULTI FAMILY IN ALL THE AREAS THAT ARE SHOWN IN YELLOW FOR THE 1ST 70 FT. OFF THE PROPERTY LINE. THAT'S WHERE THEY WOULD GO. I WAS A CONCEPT PLAN AGAIN IS NOT FINAL REQUIRES SOME TINKERING AND DESIGN AND ENGINEERING AROUND IT. UM THE MAX HEIGHT OF ANY OF THE MULTI FAMILY BUILDINGS WOULD BE THREE STORIES , BUT THE COTTAGES WOULD BE TWO STORIES. SO IN CASE THERE'S ANY QUESTION ABOUT THAT. THIS IS TO

[00:25:03]

ME IS FOR I DO A LOT OF ZONING CASES. AND THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED ME THAT WE'VE, BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO DO IT TO GIVE CONFIDENCE TO THE CITY COUNCIL ABOUT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE IS WE ARE HAVING REQUIRED MIX OF UNITS SO THERE WILL BE A MAXIMUM NUMBER OF ONE BEDROOM UNITS ON THE ON THE SIDE OF 30% AND SO IF YOU'RE ASSUMING 220 UNITS AT 67 MAX BUT WE ALSO HAVE A MINIMUM NUMBER OF TWO BEDROOMS AT 50% AND A MINIMUM NUMBER OF THREE BEDROOM AT 15. SO THAT KIND OF SHOWS YOU HOW THE UNIT COUNT WORKS AND AGAIN. WE WOULD HAVE EQUAL NUMBERS OF BATHS, TWO BEDROOMS. IN ADDITION TO THOSE KEY ASPECTS, WE HAVE LANDSCAPING BUFFERS, INCLUDING HEAVILY LANDSCAPE BUFFERS ON BOTH ALMA AND SILVERADO. OUR NEIGHBORS ASKED FOR SCREENING PURPOSES AND VISUAL THAT WE PLANT FIVE INCH CALIPER, MINIMUM TREES AND THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER ADJACENT TO THEIR HOMES WERE HAPPY. AND SO WE'VE INCORPORATED THAT. IN ADDITION TO THAT, FOR OUR NEIGHBORS ARE SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORS ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. WE'RE WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO 8 FT. MASONRY SCREENING WALLS. A POSTER YOUR TRADITIONAL SIX. WE WOULD DO SIX AROUND ALL THE ADJACENT USES AND THEN A DECORATIVE AND ATTRACTIVE FENCING ON THE STREET PER CODE NOW. THIS IS NOT PART OF THE PD STANDARDS, BUT I THOUGHT IT'S HELPFUL BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW TRAFFIC WOULD FLOW IN AND OUT OF THE SITE, SO THE PRIMARY ACCESS POINT IS OFF OF ALMA ROAD. AND, UM FOR A LOT OF REASONS, ONE BEING THAT THAT'S PROBABLY THE PRIMARY COMMUTE PATTERN, BUT ALSO WE WERE REQUIRED TO HAVE SECONDARY POINT OF ACCESS FOR UNDER FIRE CODE. WE HAVE THAT SET UP OFF OF SILVERADO, BUT WE DO NOT WANT TO NECESSARILY ENCOURAGE A LOT OF TRAFFIC. THERE IS A SCHOOL. I DIDN'T MENTION COMSTOCK ELEMENTARY'S DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM IT. WE UNDERSTAND EVERY EVERY STREAM. EVERY CITY AROUND ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ARE JAMMED UP. TIMES THAT WE DON'T WANT TO NECESSARILY CONTRIBUTE TO THE TRAFFIC, SO OUR PRIMARY ENTRY AND EXIT WILL BE OFF OF THE ROAD. IT'S GOING TO BE A HIGHLY A MINUTE TIES, SIDE PLAYGROUNDS AGAIN FOR CHILDREN, DOG PARKS. UM WHERE THIS IS MEANT TO BE A HIGH QUALITY PROJECT AND JUST AS A LAND USE CONSULTANTS JUSTLY CONCLUDE BY SAYING, WE THINK THAT THE MULTI FAMILY USE HERE IS THE PERFECT LAND USE SINCE ITS ADJACENT SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND PROVIDES A NICE BUFFER. AGAINST IN SOME CASES, SIMILAR INDUSTRIAL LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES AROUND IT. THE RESIDENTIAL USES MORE HARMONIOUS TO COMSTOCK ELEMENTARY, WHICH IS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET AND ONE PAPER LESS TRAFFICKED TYPE OF USE. ALSO BY INSTEAD OF HAVING COMMERCIAL DRIVEWAYS, WE HAVE LIKE A LONG PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY ALONG THE SITE, WHICH WOULD BE WHICH WE WILL BE BUILDING AND ENHANCING UM, COTTAGE STYLE FAMILY. MULTI FAMILY CREATES A STYLE THAT KIND OF FITS WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE LARGER ACCOUNT HOME STYLES WE THINK ARE REALLY GOOD FOR FAMILIES THAT COULD GO IN THIS. AND THEN, OF COURSE, FINALLY, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE HIGHER PROPERTY. MULTI FAMILIES ARE HIGHER PROPERTY TAX GENERATING USE THEN SOME OF THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN AREAS SO I WOULD JUST SAY THAT CONCLUDES MY REMARKS. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY AND THANK YOU, COUNSEL FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. I'M HERE AND THE LANDMARK TEAM IS HERE AT ANSWERING QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE THAT'S A NICE PRESENTATION GILLIGAN PRODUCT. WHAT IS THE BENEFIT TO THE WORKING CLASS OF MCKINNEY FROM THIS PROJECT? IT'S HARD FOR ME TO PUT MYSELF IN THEIR SHOES. COUNCILMAN I WOULD SAY THAT IN THIS ERA OF HIGH GROWTH IN THE DALLAS FORT WORTH AREA WHERE WE'RE SEEING PROPERTY VALUES AND MAKING HOME OWNERSHIP, MANY CASES UNAFFORDABLE FOR MANY, PARTICULARLY FAMILIES WHO MAY WANT TO COME TO THE COMMUNITY WHERE THIS PRODUCT WILL BE ADDING AT LEAST UNITS THAT ARE THAT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR FAMILIES AT LEAST TO MOVE IN AND START CLOSE PROXIMITY TO SCHOOLS. DOES THAT SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS? NO, SIR, BUT I THINK THAT'S ONE ASPECT BY THE UNIT.

AH! THE PRESENT. I CAN HAVE ERICK STRICKLAND COME UP AND ADDRESS THIS IF YOU HAVE A PARTICULAR QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW ON THE ON THE OWNERSHIP WOULD JUST SAY THAT THIS IS MODELED TO BE A TO BE RENTED AND LEASED BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE FINANCING IS AT. BUT IS UP AS WE'VE HAD THE CONVERSATION THE WAY THIS PROJECT ULTIMATELY BEEN DESIGNED. WITH THESE TYPES OF TOWN HOME UNITS AND WITH HIGH LEVELS, AMENITIES IT COULD AT SOME POINT BE CONVERTED TO A CONDOMINIUM REGIME, WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR PEOPLE TO BUY THOSE UNITS, WHICH WILL BE GIVEN THAT THE SIZE OF THEM PROBABLY BE MORE AFFORDABLE, BUT THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT'S WHERE FOCUSED ON RIGHT NOW WE'RE FOCUSED REALLY ON JUST TRYING TO GET THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND GET IT GOING SHORT AFTER OUR WORKING CLASS WHO CAN AFFORD IT PAYS YOUR PROPERTY TAXES. WE'RE SHIPPING THE REST THERE RAN OUT TO YOUR NATIONALLY BASED DEVELOPER. IS THAT A QUESTION?

[00:30:07]

UH IT WAS A STATEMENT. OKAY. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING DO HAVE SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK FIRST. I'LL READ THOSE THAT UM, DO NOT WISH TO SPEAK, BUT THEY WISH TO LODGE THERE. POSITION ON IT. UM CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN SALMON HAS.

VOICE THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE PROJECT. ERICK STRICKLAND. DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK, BUT HAS VOICED SUPPORT FOR THE PROJECT. UM JOHN HELP. DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK WITH HIS VOICE SUPPORT FOR THIS PROJECT. AND I DO BELIEVE EMILY SONER. DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK ON THIS NOTE? BUT YOU? IT DOES NOT SAY WHETHER YOU SUPPORT OR OPPOSE YOU SUPPORT THE PROJECT. ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? SEEN DONE ENTERTAINING MOTION. MR MAYOR.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE SOME REMARKS. IF I CAN PLEASE CLOSE THE PUBLIC CLOSED AREA. I MOVE THAT WE CLOSED PUBLIC HEARING. IS CASH ARE UP. SURE. UM FIRST, I WANT TO REALLY GIVE ACCOMMODATION TO LANDMARK AND THE TEAM BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN EXTREMELY COOPERATIVE AND I'M NEW IN THIS SEAT ON DISTRICT TWO. I SERVED AT LARGE FOR A YEAR. SO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN CONTACTED, YOU KNOW, OUTRIGHT AS THE CONTACT TO ADJUDICATE THESE THINGS AND I MADE NO SECRET THAT MY BIASES TO HAVE OWNERSHIP PRODUCTS EVERYWHERE THAT WE CAN HERE IN MCKINNEY, AND SO THAT'S WHERE YOU KNOW MY KNEE JERK WAS ON THIS ONE, TOO. BUT IF WE COULD PUT UP A VISUAL OF THE PIECE OF PROPERTY IF THAT'S POSSIBLE, UM THE HARD CORNER WAS ADDRESSED ON THIS IN THE HARD CORNER IS THE IS A REAL PROBLEM ON THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY. THERE WE GO. THANK YOU. YOU CAN SEE UP THERE AT THE TOP LEFT WHAT YOU HAVE. THERE ARE TWO OLD HOUSES. AND THE BEST THING THAT I COULD DO IS TYPE. THE REST OF IT IS QUASI INDUSTRIAL AND THE BUILDINGS ARE BIG, OLD. PRETTY UGLY. THEY'VE GOT SOME MATURE TREES THERE. IT HAS AN AG ZONING, WHICH IS A LEGACY ZONING FROM I THINK BEFORE WHEN THIS WAS INCORPORATED TO THE CITY. NOW, IF YOU LOOK AT THIS, IT MAKES THAT THE REST OF THE PROPERTY REALLY TOUGH TO DEVELOP, AND WHAT I CAME UP WITH IS THERE'S NO WAY I WANT SINGLE FAMILY OWNERSHIP ON THIS PROPERTY BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL COME IN AND BUY. AND THEN EVENTUALLY THAT THE GENTLEMAN WHO OWNS THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY IS NOT A SPRING CHICKEN. YOU KNOW, I'LL SAY THAT HE YOU KNOW WHO KNOWS GOD LOVE HIM MAYBE AROUND FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, BUT THERE'S A VERY GOOD CHANCE THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE PETITIONED TO CHANGE AND THIS COULD BE A VERY GOOD CHANCE COULD BE PETITIONED TO CHANGE THE COMMERCIAL. AND WHAT I ENVISIONED IS SOMETHING LIKE A RACETRACK OR SOMETHING GOING IN HERE, SO THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS PUT SINGLE FAMILY HERE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, 10 YEARS.

HEY, YOU GOT A RACETRACK? RIGHT? RENTAL PROPERTY. PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT. UM NOW THE DEVELOPER WAS EXTRAORDINARILY ACCOMMODATING WITH RESPECT TO SOME CHANGES THAT I ASKED FOR SO I CAME TO A POINT WITH THEM THAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD. IT COULD WORK. SO WHAT I DID IS I THEN WENT OUT AND CALLED CONSTITUENTS AND WITH ALL RESPECT TO THE FOLKS HERE WHO DIDN'T ELECT TO SPEAK, NOT ONE PERSON I TALKED TO WANTED ME TO VOTE FOR THIS. NOT ONE, AND I TALKED TO MANY.

SOME OF THE POINTS THEY MADE AND THE POINTS ARE SALIENT IS THAT TO THE SOUTH EAST AND WEST? THERE IS A SMORGASBORD OF MULTIFAMILY PRODUCT ALL OVER THE PLACE. THEY'RE VERY CROWDED. ON THE SOUTH SIDE ALONG, STACY. THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH MORE COMING. FIRST KAWAI ESTEVES DONE SOMETHING THAT I'VE NOT SEEN BEFORE UP HERE IN NORTH TEXAS, AND I'VE LIVED HERE FOR A LONG TIME. THEY ARE MAKING AN INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL. THEY'RE HARVESTING FIFTH GRADE FROM THE ELEMENTARY AND SIXTH GRADE FROM THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND THEY'RE CREATING AN INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL RIGHT THERE ON ALMA BECAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION OF POPULATION THERE UM. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY STRUCK ME THAT A RESIDENT SAID IS THEY WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO A TO A RETAIL TYPE DEVELOPMENT HERE AT SOME POINT, SO THEIR KIDS WOULD HAVE SOMEWHERE TO WALK TO. YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER WHEN MY KIDS WERE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, SO THE DEVELOPERS. PRESENTED AS GOOD OF A MULTI FAMILY PROJECT IS I COULD ASK FOR THEY'VE BEEN AS ACCOMMODATING AS I CAN ASK FOR, BUT BECAUSE THE POINTS THAT ALL MY RESIDENTS MADE, I CAN'T SUPPORT THIS. YOUR COMMENTS.

[00:35:03]

ALRIGHT. WELL, IS THERE A MOTION . I'LL MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE, UM, DENY THIS ITEM. SECOND THAT IT'S CAST YOUR VOTES.

OCEAN DOES NOT PASS. ENTERTAIN ANOTHER MOTION. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVED THIS. MS DEVELOPMENT.

YEAH I'M GONNA MAKE A COMMENT. I VOTED AGAINST THAT, AND I AM EMPATHETIC TO WHAT RESIDENTS SAID. UM. BUT I TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS A DIFFERENT IS THIS IS A PRODUCT THAT REALLY COMPLEMENTS THE RESIDENTIAL AROUND THE AREA, AND I KNOW POLITICALLY POPULAR THING IS TO BE ANTI MULTI FAMILY AND THAT THAT'S A GREAT POLITICAL SOUNDBITE. BUT THE REALITY IS WORD OF WHERE TO PLACE IN TIME WHEN HOMEOWNERSHIP IS NORTH OF A HALF A MILLION DOLLARS IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY.

AND WE HAVE 750 EMPLOYEES THAT JUST STARTED WORKING AT HDB IN MCKINNEY. THEY NEED A PLACE TO LIVE. AND NOT ALL OF THEM. I'M GONNA I'M GONNA GUESS. A GREAT NUMBER OF 750 EMPLOYEES WORKING AT HDB ARE NOT READY TO STEP UP AND MCKINNEY AND PAY $550,000 PER HOUSE WITH MORTGAGE RATES THAT ARE 2.5 TIMES WHEN THEY WERE SIX MONTHS AGO. SO ALTHOUGH IT'S A GREAT SOUND BITE TO BE AGAINST MULTI FAMILY, AND I'M A CHAMPION OF HOMEOWNERSHIP, I'VE BUILT HOMES MY WHOLE CAREER AND I'D LOVE GIVING PEOPLE THEIR FIRST HOME AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE OWNERSHIP AND BUILD EQUITY. BUT I ALSO KNOW WHAT THE DIFFICULTIES ARE IN THIS MARKET AND TO HAVE A GOOD. RENTAL PROPERTY, A GOOD RENTAL PRODUCT. UM AVAILABLE FOR A FAMILY. I'M NOT GOING TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST THE FAMILY THAT CAN STEP UP AND TAKE OUT OF 7. $550,000 MORTGAGE TODAY BECAUSE I HAVE SOME YOU KNOW, WHATEVER. SO I SUPPORT THE PROJECT FOR THAT REASON. SO I'LL SECOND THE MOTION, WHOEVER MADE IT JUST SAY THAT I GREW UP BELIEVING THAT THE AMERICAN DREAM WAS DONE IN YOUR OWN HOME AND EVEN BETTER RUN YOUR OWN BUSINESS, AND I SEE THIS IS DIRECTLY IMPACTING ANYBODY'S ABILITY WHO'S IN THE WORKING CLASS TO EVER SAVED ENOUGH MONEY FOR A DOWN PAYMENT SO THAT THEY COULD MAKE THE AMERICAN DREAM OF REALITY AND I'M NOT AGAINST SMALL TOWN FAMILY, ALTHOUGH I RARELY VOTE TO APPROVE IT. I AM AGAINST MAKING NATIONAL DEVELOPERS WEALTHIER ON THE BACKS OF THE WORKING CLASS OF MCKINNEY, TEXAS. AND IF THIS WAS A LOCAL DEVELOPER SITTING HERE SAYING, I'M GOING TO POUR THAT MONEY BACK INTO THE ECONOMY OF MCKINNEY PROBABLY VOTE FOR IT, BUT I'M FOR THOSE REASONS. I'M NOT IN SUPPORT. THANK YOU. UH I'LL MAKE ONE COMMENT. MR BARON. I RESPECT EVERYTHING YOU SAID, AND AS I SAID, I RESPECT WITH THE DEVELOPERS DONE. I THINK THIS IS AS BACK DEFICIENT OF A MULTI FAMILY PROJECT AS WE COULD REALISTICALLY EXPECT TO HAVE HERE. TO ME. IT'S NOT SO MUCH ABOUT NOT MULTI FAMILY, IT'S ABOUT OPPORTUNITY COST FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. THERE JUST ISN'T MUCH AROUND HERE.

THERE ISN'T A PLACE YOU MY KIDS USED TO WALK TO SONIC. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THAT AROUND HERE.

THEY COULD WALK DOWN TO YOUR STACY ROAD AND GO TO SOME STUFF AROUND THERE. THEY COULD WALK PRETTY FAR NORTH. BUT THERE'S NOT A NEIGHBORHOOD PLACE REALLY FOR THEM, AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO COME. BUT THAT'S REALLY WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO. FOR ME IS I'M TAKING AWAY THAT OPPORTUNITY COSTS BUT I WILL SAY THAT THE RESIDENTS ALONG THE EAST SIDE ARE GOING TO BE PRETTY HAPPY WITH THIS, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THEY STARE AT THE QUASI INDUSTRIAL SITE AND IT'S UGLY.

AND SO YOU KNOW WHAT LANDMARKS GIVING THEM IS A MUCH BETTER PRODUCTS. SO, UM THAT'S WHERE I'M COMING FROM. I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT JUST TO COMMENT THAT YOU MADE CHARLIE YOU KNOW, WE'D BE HARD PRESSED TO NAME I'M IN THE BUSINESS WOULD BE HARD PRESSED TO NAME FIVE. LOCAL SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPERS THAT ARE BUILDING IN LARGE COMMUNITIES AND LARGE SCALE IN A WAY THAT COULD EVEN BEGIN TO TRY TO HIT THE LOWER END OF THE MARKET. SO WHETHER WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MULTI FAMILY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SINGLE FAMILY. WE ARE GENERALLY DEALING WITH A NATIONAL CORPORATION WERE GENERALLY DEALING WITH SOMEONE NOT LOCAL AGAIN. THERE ARE A FEW EXCEPTIONS. I KNOW OF THREE THAT I CAN THINK OF, AND I'VE BEEN IN THIS BUSINESS IN MCKINNEY FOR 30 PLUS YEARS. SO FOR ME, IT'S AGAIN. I LOVE THE IDEA OF THAT LOCAL DEVELOPMENT AND ALL THAT.

BUT THE REALITY IS, UM, NO DIFFERENT THAN OUR CAR MANUFACTURERS NO DIFFERENT THAN MOST OF OUR SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPERS NO DIFFERENT THAN MOST OF OUR MULTIFAMILY

[00:40:01]

DEVELOPERS. THE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE SEEN COMPANIES THAT ARE OUTSIDE OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY THAT ARE DELIVERING THAT PRODUCT AND ESPECIALLY IN A TIME AND PLACE IN THE ENVIRONMENT WHERE COSTS ARE WHAT THEY ARE. YOU'VE GOT TO BE A. IF YOU'RE NOT NATIONALLY, YOU'RE A STATEWIDE DEVELOPER TEAM BEGIN TO TRY TO COMPETE. ON DEVELOPMENT, AND I CAN AGAIN SAY THAT FROM VERY, VERY, VERY FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE. BUT SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, SO PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. MOTION PASSES.

[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on Design Exceptions to a Site Plan for a Mixed-Use Development (Cotton Mill), Located on the Southeast Corner of State Highway 5 (McDonald Street) and Elm Street]

MOVE TO THE NEXT ITEM. 220071 SP CONDUCTED PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER DISCUSS ACT ON A DESIGN AND DESIGN EXCEPTIONS TO A SITE PLAN FOR MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT COTTON MILL LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER, STATE HIGHWAY FIVE ANNOUNCE STREET. THERE IS A REVISED PRESENTATION YOU HAVE.

THANK YOU, MR MAYOR, AND YOU PROBABLY WON'T EVEN RECOGNIZE SOME OF THE CHANGES BUT ON THIS PRESENTATION FROM WHAT WAS IN THE PACKET, BUT THERE WERE A FEW UNIT COUNCIL DENSITIES THAT WE DID WANT TO ADJUST THAT WE NOTICED SO OKAY, SO, AS YOU READ , THIS IS A REQUEST TO CONSIDER DESIGN EXCEPTIONS ON A SITE PLAN . THIS IS THE COTTON MILL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT. COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I WANTED TO NOTE EARLY ON IN THE PRESENTATION IS FIRST AND FOREMOST, I THINK MANY OF US IN THIS ROOM KNOW THIS COTTON MILL SITE. IT IS ON THE HISTORIC REGISTER. AS A HISTORICAL DISTRICT. IT IS NOT, HOWEVER, ON ANY LOCAL REGISTER OR STATE REGISTER, AND IT IS A LOCATION HERE AND MAKE ANY THAT MOST PEOPLE KNOW QUITE WELL. I WILL ALSO NOTE THAT SITE PLANS WITHIN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY OR GENERALLY APPROVED OR ABLE TO BE APPROVED AT THE STAFF LEVEL HERE IN THE MTC ZONING DISTRICT OF MCKINNEY. IF A DESIGN EXCEPTION IS BEING REQUESTED, THOSE WOULD TYPICALLY BE CONSIDERED AND APPROVED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. HOWEVER DESIGN EXCEPTIONS INVOLVING AN INCREASE IN BUILDING HEIGHTS ARE REQUIRED TO BE CONSIDERED BY THE CITY COUNCIL. SO THAT IS WHY IT'S BEFORE YOU TODAY. THIS IS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND. IN TERMS OF THIS TYPE OF DESIGN EXCEPTION . IT IS THE FIRST INCREASE IN HEIGHT THAT WE HAVE SEEN WITHIN THE MTC ZONING. UM DISTRICT. SO WITH THAT I DID WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I TOOK SOME CARE AND HOW WE PREPARED AND PRESENTED THE INFORMATION. SO THIS PRESENTATION IS A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN WHAT YOU ARE TYPICAL ARE TYPICALLY USED TO SING FROM ME. I PROMISE I WON'T DRONE ON.

THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENING ON THE SITE. IT IS A MIXED JUICE DEVELOPMENT SITE.

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF DESIGN EXCEPTIONS BEING REQUESTED. AND THE PARAMOUNT ONES IF YOU WILL, FOR THE INCREASE IN BUILDING HEARTS ARE THE ONES THAT WE AS A STEP WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE PAID CLOSE ATTENTION TO SO THIS IS THE TECHNICAL, UM, SITE PLAN THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE REQUEST . WE DID COLOR CODE THAT FOR YOU A BIT, SO THERE'S A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO DIGEST WITH THE SITE PLAN OF THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO DEVELOP FOR MULTI FAMILY, UH, BUILDINGS ON THE SITE, WHERE SOME GARAGE AND TUCK UNDER PARKING. THERE ARE TWO OFFICE BUILDINGS ALONG THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE PROPERTY AND THEN SOME MULTI FAMILY UNITS ALONG THE SOUTHERN EDGE. EDGE, WHICH THEY REFER TO AS ARTIST'S LOFT. THEY ARE INTENDED TO DEVELOP MORE OF A BROWNSTONE OR COTTAGE, MULTI FAMILY STYLE. A NUMBER OF THE DESIGN EXCEPTIONS THAT YOU SEE IN YOUR STAFF REPORTS ARE RELATED TO THINGS SUCH AS BUILDINGS BEING PULLED TO THE STREET, THE WAY IN WHICH THEY ARE INTERACTING AND TAKING ACCESS OFF OF WHAT WE CALL PRIORITY AND PRIORITY BE STREETS WITHIN THE NTC ZONING DISTRICT. WE DO DESIGNATE DIFFERENT PRIORITY OF STREET LEVELS YOU CAN SEE ON THE EXHIBIT HERE. WE HAVE PRIORITY A RUNNING GENERALLY NORTH AND SOUTH ALONG THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. AND THEN PRIORITY BEES THERE IN THE GREEN, UM, WITHIN A FORM BASED CODE LIKE THE MTC. THOSE STREET LEVELS ARE IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY REALLY DICTATE THE WAY IN WHICH THE BUILDING IS INTENDED TO INTERACT WITH THAT STREET. WITH THIS SITE PLAN, THE AFRICAN IS ACTUALLY LOOKING TO DEVELOP MORE OF A CAMPUS STYLE DEVELOPMENT WHERE THERE ARE PRIORITIZING DIFFERENT STREETS THAN WHAT THE MTC ZONING DISTRICT ENVISIONED. STAFF IS PERFECTLY COMFORTABLE WITH THE WAY THAT THEY ARE LOOKING TO CHANGE THAT PRIORITY LEVEL OF STREETS AND THE WAY THAT THEIR BUILDINGS ARE INTERACTING WITH THEM. SO THOSE FIRST PROBABLY 12 DESIGN EXCEPTIONS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE STAFF REPORT ARE REALLY RELATED TO HOW THESE BUILDINGS ARE INTERACTING WITH THE STREETS AND THE REORIENTATION OF THOSE PRIOR VERITIES. DISCRETE SO THE MTC HIGHLIGHTS THOSE BLUE AS A PRIORITY A AND REALLY THOSE ARE SORT OF DOWNPLAYED IN THIS CAMPUS CONCEPT FOR THE COTTON MILL, AND WHAT'S DESIGNATED AS A PRIORITY BE STREET IS REALLY THE ONE THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO INTERACT WITH. MOST OKAY WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT IS WITHIN THE NTC ZONING DISTRICT. BUT WITHIN THAT MTC DON'T ZONING

DISTRICT. IT IS STRADDLING TWO CHARACTER DISTRICTS, WHICH ARE SORT OF SUBTRACTS WITHIN THE MASTERS OWNING THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE TRACTORS WITHIN THAT COTTON MILL CORE AREA, BUT THE AREAS ALONG THE PERIMETER OR WHAT WE ARE CONSIDERED CONSIDERED THE COTTON MILL EDGE.

AND THAT EDGE DISTRICT IS INTENDED TO ALLOW FOR SOME LEVEL OF TRANSITION BETWEEN BUILDING HEIGHTS USES SCALE AND MASSING AS YOU MOVE OUT FROM THAT COTTON MILL DISTRICT. OKAY? IN SUMMARY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN THEY ARE EXPECTING TO SEE AROUND THREE ACRES FOR THE OFFICE DEVELOPMENT AT ABOUT 200,000 SQUARE FEET AND FOUR STORIES AND THEN ABOUT 1100 DWELLING UNITS OF MULTI FAMILY WITHIN THOSE FOUR MULTI FAMILY STRUCTURES AND THEN ABOUT 30 DWELLING UNITS OF THAT ARTIST LOFT ALONG THE BOTTOM. SO THE DESIGN EXCEPTIONS THAT STAFF DOES HAVE CONCERNS WITH ARE OBVIOUSLY RELATED TO THE INCREASE IN BUILDING HIGH DID WANT TO WALK THROUGH THEM HERE BEFORE YOU SO OFFICE BUILDING ONE, WHICH IS HIGHLIGHTED IN RED FOR YOU WITHIN THE NTC ZONING DISTRICT. THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED BUILDING HEIGHT IN THIS AREA IS THREE STORIES. AND IT ALSO INCLUDES A RESIDENTIAL TRANSITION THAT WOULD LIMIT BUILDING HEIGHTS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY 22 STORIES, THE AFRICAN IS PROPOSING TO DEVELOP AN OFFICE BUILDING IN THIS LOCATION AT A BUILDING HEIGHT OF FOUR STORIES, OR 63. FT STAFF DOES HAVE CONCERNS WITH THE ADJACENCY TO EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY, AND IT IS HARD TO SEE ON THE SCREEN, BUT THERE IS AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNIT HERE IT IS ACTUALLY THE LAST REMAINING SINGLE FAMILY. UM STRUCTURE FROM THE MILL BLOCK THAT ONCE EXISTED JUST SOUTH OF THE COTTON MILL. THERE ARE ALSO EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY USES ALONG HERE AND THERE ARE NO PROPOSED TRANSITIONS OR SCREENING BEING PROPOSED AS PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT, AND WE DO HAVE CONCERNS THAT IT MAY NOT INTERACT OR TRANSITION WELL FROM THE FOUR STORY PROPOSED TO THOSE LOWER SCALE SINGLE FAMILY USES. MULTI FAMILY BUILDING NUMBER ONE HAS A MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT OF FOUR STORIES. WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED IS A FIVE STORY UM, MULTI FAMILY BUILDING. WE DO HAVE CONCERNS THAT FIVE STORIES WHEN PUT IN CONCERT WITH THE REST OF THE DEVELOPMENT PLANS HERE WOULD PROVIDE A SCALE HEIGHT AND MASSING THAT MAY BE INAPPROPRIATE. JUST JUXTAPOSED TO THE EXISTING COTTON MILL STRUCTURE ITSELF, AND I'M GOING TO WALK THROUGH THAT HERE AS WE GET INTO SOME OF THESE OTHER BUILDING HEIGHT. ACCEPT REQUESTS SO OUTSIDE OF MULTI FAMILY NUMBER ONE MULTI FAMILY NUMBER 23 AND FOUR ARE PROPOSED TO BE AT SEVEN STORIES BUILDING HEIGHT OF ABOUT 83 FT, PLUS A 7 FT PARAPET WALL, WHICH IS AN EXTENSION OF THAT ROOF LINE TO HIDE MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND ITEMS THAT ARE UP ON THE ROOF. SO 83 FT. TALL PLUS ABOUT 7 FT.

IN THAT PARAPET WALL STAFF DOES HAVE SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS THAT THE PROPOSED BUILDING HEIGHTS HERE WILL DRAMATICALLY ALTER THE SKYLINE HERE IN THIS AREA WITHIN DOWNTOWN AND JUXTAPOSED TO THE COTTON MILL BUILDING AS WELL AS THE CONTEXT AROUND THE COTTON MILL COMPLEX. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE AREA AROUND HERE IS LOWER BUILDING HEIGHTS, LOWER SCALE DEVELOPMENT. AND THE LIKELIHOOD THAT WE WOULD SEE VAST REDEVELOPMENT OF THIS IMMEDIATE AREA IS RELATIVELY LOW AND STAFF'S OPINION. THESE ARE THE PROPOSED ELEVATIONS THAT WOULD BE INCLUDED WITH APPROVAL OR POTENTIAL APPROVAL OF THE SITE PLAN. AND I DID WANT TO ALSO WALK THROUGH JUST A COUPLE OF CONCEPTS. IT'S ONE THING FOR STEPH TO STAND UP HERE AND SAY THAT WE HAVE CONCERNS WITH SEVEN STORIES AND TO BE ABLE TO VISUALIZE THAT WE DID FEEL THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO TRY AND VISUALIZE THAT APPEAR WITH SOME COMPARATIVE BUILDING HEIGHTS, AS WELL AS SOME SCALING ILLUSTRATIONS. SO JUST FOR REFERENCE ALLIANCE BANK OVER ON 1 21 IS FOUR STORIES IN 67 FT.

INDEPENDENT BANK. ALSO ON 1 21 IS ABOUT 93 FT. TALL AND OF COURSE, THE RECENTLY COMPLETED KAIZEN BUILDING IS AROUND 232 FT. TALL. WHEN WE CONSIDER THE AREA THAT THIS IS BEING PROPOSED WITHIN. WE DO NOTE THAT THE TALLEST BUILDING WITHIN YOU KNOW A STONE'S THROW OF WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED IS NEW. SOME HOMES AT ABOUT 40 FT. AND WE DEFINITELY PAID CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT FUTURE CITY HALL IS CURRENTLY UNDER DEVELOPMENT AND DOES HAVE A PROPOSED BUILDING HEIGHT OF 78 FT. WE DID WANT TO NOTE THAT THE DEVELOPMENT AREA AROUND FUTURE CITY HALL IS QUITE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE SEE DOWN BY THE COTTON MILL IS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE CORE OF DOWNTOWN AND IS SURROUNDED BY OTHER BUILDINGS, EXISTING AND FUTURE PLANNED BUILDINGS THAT WOULD BE OF COMPARABLE HEIGHTS. SO THAT 78 FT. WE DO NOT NECESSARILY SEE THAT HERE AT THE

[00:50:03]

COTTON MILL SITE. WE DID HAVE SOME RENDERINGS PULLED TOGETHER JUST TO VISUALIZE WHAT THE MTC ZONING DISTRICT HERE WOULD ALLOW FOR IN TERMS OF BUILDING HEIGHT. FOUR STORIES VERSUS WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED. SO THIS IS JUST A VISUAL OF THAT LOOKING FROM FRANKLIN AVENUE. THIS FIRST ONE IS WHAT WOULD BE ALLOWED UNDER THE EXISTING MTC ZONING. AND THIS IS AS IT'S BEING PROPOSED BY THE APPLICANT. ONE THING I WILL NOTE IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT SEVEN STORY YOU CAN REALLY START TO SEE HOW IT INTERACTS WITH THE EXISTING, UM, WATER TOWER AS WELL AS THE COTTON MILL COMPLEX HERE FROM LOOKING FROM THE NORTH SIDE SOUTH. AND THEN AGAIN FROM THE STREET VIEW HERE BY THAT EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY AS PROPOSED, OR I'M SORRY PER THE MTC OF FOUR STORIES VERSUS WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED BY THE APPLICANT OF SEVEN STORIES, AND I DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT AS A STAFF. WE RECOGNIZE THAT ANY REDEVELOPMENT OF THE COTTON MILL WILL LIKELY INVOLVES SOME INCREASED BUILDING HEIGHTS, AND WE ARE CERTAINLY SUPPORTIVE OF THAT. BUT WE DO HAVE SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS THAT THE PROPOSED SEVEN STORIES IS THAT A SCALE AND MASSING THAT IS NOT ONLY INCOMPATIBLE FOR THE IMMEDIATE AREA AROUND THE COTTON MILL SITE , BUT JUST IN CONSIDERATION OF THE DOWNTOWN AREA. OVERALL I DO I THINK THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID PAY ATTENTION TO WITH. THIS IS DEVELOPMENT WITHIN A HISTORICAL AREA, AND, UH, THE SECRETARY OF INTERIOR STANDARDS FOR REHABILITATION OF HISTORIC BUILDINGS AND HISTORIC PLACES WHEN WE EVALUATED THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAD WITH THE PROPOSED BUILDING HEIGHTS FOR THE AREA. AS WELL AS SOME OF THOSE STANDARDS THAT WE LOOK AT , UM FOR REHABILITATION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF HISTORIC BUILDINGS, AND WE DID FIND THAT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD NOT. UNFORTUNATELY SUPPORT AND I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT ONE OTHER THING, BECAUSE I KNOW THE APPLICANT IS GOING TO GET UP AND WALK YOU THROUGH. THEY'VE OBVIOUSLY GOT A PRESENTATION AS WELL. THE VISION FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT IS THE CAMPUS STYLE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT AND THERE ARE A LOT OF ELEMENTS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THAT VISION THAT ARE DEFINITELY SUPPORTIVE OF THAT. DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THIS SITE PLAN BEFORE YOU WOULD ONLY PERMIT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MULTI FAMILY AND THE OFFICE BUILDINGS, ALONG WITH THE STREETS AND PARKING THAT ARE SHOWN SO SOME OF THESE OTHER ELEMENTS THAT COULD COME IN AS PART OF AND SUPPORTED THAT MIXED USE. THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY REQUIRED WITH THIS SITE PLAN. SO THIS SITE PLAN IS REALLY ONLY LOOKING AT THAT MULTI FAMILY AND THE OFFICE AND THE ASSOCIATED STREETS AND PARKING WITH THAT, SO I APOLOGIZE FOR BEING LONG WINDED, BUT IT WAS ONE THAT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE PAID SPECIAL CARE TO. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, AND OUR APPLICANT IS HERE AS WELL. QUESTIONS FOR JENNIFER YES. SO JENNIFER OUTSIDE OF THE HEIGHT ISSUE, I MEAN, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON IT? DEVELOPMENT ITSELF. UM WELL, SO SUCH A GREAT QUESTION, SO I THINK THAT THE CONCEPT OF THE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT HERE IS GREAT. I THINK THAT THE MIX IN THE VISION FOR THE OFFICE AND THE RESIDENTIAL ALONG WITH SOME OF THE COMMERCIAL AND ENTERTAINMENT THAT'S ENVISIONED WOULD BE A GREAT SUPPORT FOR THE AREA. SO I DO NOT HAVE. I DON'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THE WAY THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO ORIENT THEIR BUILDINGS ALONG THESE STREETS AND THE DEVELOPMENT ITSELF. IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO THE BUILDING HEIGHTS THAT GIVE US THE BIGGEST CONCERN. THANK YOU.

JENNIFER ON THE SITE PLAN THAT YOU WERE SHOWING ON THE KIND OF THE OVERHEAD MAP IF YOU WOULD, UM, SHOWED THE MULTI FAMILY BUILDINGS 123 AND FOUR THANK YOU DOESN'T SHOW ANY PARKING, SO THAT MAKES ME THINK THAT PARKING IS PART OF THE ACTUAL STRUCTURES FOR THE SEVEN STORY APARTMENT BUILDING. IT'S NOT SEVEN STORIES OF APARTMENTS. THERE'S A FEW FLOORS OF PARKING FAIR. THAT IS CORRECT. I WILL NOTE THAT THERE IS SOME RAT PARKING LET'S GO HERE. THESE HERE MULTI FAMILIES , 23 AND FOUR WOULD BE WHAT WE CONSIDER PODIUM PARKING. SO IT'S 22 STORIES OF GARAGE WITH THE FIVE STORIES ABOVE, SO THERE IS ALSO INCLUDED ON THE SITE PLAN. WHILE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE ON THE PRESENTATION, THERE IS PARK THERE ARE SOME ON STREET PARKING THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING AS WELL. ACTUALLY WITHIN YOUR PACKET YOU CAN GET TO THE RAW SITE PLAN DOCUMENT AND YOU CAN SCAN THROUGH IT, AND YOU CAN SEE THERE IS SOME PROPOSED ARMS STREET. BUT IT WOULD ALL PREDOMINANTLY BE IN THAT GARAGE PARKING EITHER. 5/2 OR A REP PRODUCT. JENNIFER, YOU MENTIONED . THERE ARE PARTS OF THE PRESENTATION THAT WE DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF. TALK TO ME. ONE THING WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT IS ACCESS. TRAFFIC CAN WE TYPICALLY DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF THAT, EITHER, NECESSARILY IN A ZONING CASE. POOR. LIKE SOMETIMES WE DO ON OUR SITE PLAN. HOW DOES THAT COME INTO? WHAT CAN WHAT WE CAN REQUIRE WHAT'S EXPECTED. AND WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON? SURE

[00:55:05]

THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION, AND I THINK GARY HOPEFULLY HAS WALKED IN BEHIND ME AT SOME POINT TO HELP ANSWER IF THERE IS ANY SPECIFIC ON THE TRAFFIC, BUT YOU KNOW THERE'S GARY AND I'LL TRY AND COVER IT FOR AS MUCH AS I CAN. BUT WITH ANY STATE PLAN, DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF UNITS OR SIZE OF DEVELOPMENT, AND THE CITY CAN REQUIRE A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS, OR A T I A.

THAT WOULD ESSENTIALLY HAVE THEM TELL US THE IMPACT TO OUR STREET NETWORK AND IMPROVEMENTS THAT MAY BE REQUIRED. TO MITIGATE THAT SO WITH THIS, A TIA IS REQUIRED. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND THERE ARE SOME ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS AND SOME RIGHT TURN LANES THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THE ADDED UNITS IN THIS AREA. BUT THOSE WOULD BE ON HIGHWAY FIVE COMING OFF OF MUK, MACON AND ELM. I'LL LOOK TO GARY TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WOULD BE SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED FROM THAT. C I A. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. GARY GRAHAM, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING. SO, COUNCILMAN BELLER. THE T. I IDENTIFIED RIGHT TURN LANE.

TATE. THIS DRIVEWAY HERE. UM THERE'S GONNA BE ANOTHER RIGHT TURN LANE THAT'S ADDED DOWN ON INDUSTRIAL TO FOWLER STREET, WHICH WILL BE AND LISTEN. I THINK FOWLER STREET COMES DOWN LIKE THAT. IT WILL BE A RIGHT TURN LATE ON INDUSTRIAL WOULD BE ALSO RIGHT TURN LANE HERE ON ELM TRAINING TO HIM, SCOTT MATTER ON FOWLER. FOWLER WOULD BE THIS NEW STREET THAT IS PROPOSED TO BE EXTENDED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO INDUSTRIAL ONE TO THE WEST OF THAT FOLLOWERS. THIS ONE. I DON'T I DON'T KNOW THAT YEAH, IT'S THE ONE THAT GOES NOT THE ONE THAT GOES BETWEEN THE MULTI FAMILY THE WIND OF THE WEST TO THE MULTI FAMILY. YEAH, I APOLOGIZE. THANK YOU. SO I TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY. RECOMMENDS AND WOULD REQUIRE THEM TO CREATE THAT ACCESS POINT. CORRECT AND THAT'S ON THE UNIT COUNT OF SEVEN STORIES THAT'S CORRECT. IS IT CHANGE WHEN THE UNIT COUNT IS I MEAN, WE DON'T IF THEY MEET THE FOUR STORY REQUIREMENT THAT EXISTS TODAY, OR THAT THEY'RE ENTITLED TO TODAY. DO WE DO WE KNOW WHAT THAT WOULD REQUIRE WHAT IT REQUIRE AN ADDITIONAL ACCESS POINT LIKE THAT. I THINK IT DOES REQUIRE THE ADDITIONAL ACCESS POINT WOULD WANT TO CONFIRM THROUGH. LET THEM REEVALUATE THE T I A UM BUT THIS AREA IS SO LIMITED WITH ACCESS ON THE HIGHWAY FIVE PROJECT. UM MCMACKIN HAS FULL ACCESS HIGHWAY FIVE EXTENDS OVER AND MAKING TURNS IN THERE'S FULL ACCESS THERE TODAY WHEN HIGHWAY FIVES RECONSTRUCTED. IT WILL BE A RIGHT AND RIGHT OUT. UM SO WE KNOW THE NATURAL DRAWS TO GO SOUTH TO GET TO 75 1 21. SO UM.

YOUR YOUR ACCESS REALLY TO FULL ACCESS IS LIMITED UP HERE AND THEN DOWN HERE AT MCMILLAN, FOWLER AND INDUSTRIAL, SO I THINK THEY'RE STILL GOING TO NEED THOSE ADDITIONAL ACCESS POINTS. UM, EVEN IF THEY DO REDUCE IT. WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, THOUGH, IS ON 7007 STORY UNITS WITH THE MULTIFAMILY. IT ROUGHLY GENERATES 9000 VEHICLES A DAY. UM, YOU KNOW, AND YOU KNOW. THAT'S GOING TO ADD A LOT OF A LOT OF TRAFFIC TO OUR STREET NETWORK. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE INCREASED DELAY AT SOME OF THE INTERSECTIONS, ESPECIALLY AT ELM AND INDUSTRIAL LEVEL SERVICE IS GOING TO GO FROM A C UM AVERAGE LEVEL OF SERVICE AVERAGE DELAY TO, UH, THESE, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO, YOU KNOW MORE DELAYS GOING TO BE EXPERIENCED ON AVERAGE BY DRIVERS. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT IN INDUSTRIAL AND HIGHWAY FIVE INTERSECTION AS WELL. BUT IS THAT UNREASONABLE TO OUR TRAFFIC NETWORK? NO I DON'T THINK SO. I MEAN, AS YOU SEE THOSE RE DEVELOPMENTS AND, AH, YOU ADD THAT TRAFFIC. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ADDITIONAL DELAY AND I DON'T I DON'T THINK IT'S TO ANY LEVEL THAT MAKES IT UNBEARABLE. I THINK YOU'RE ALSO GOING TO SEE ONCE SPORT 3 99 BUILT BY TEXT DOT UM AND THEN WHEN WE RECONSTRUCT HIGHWAY FIVE OR TEXTILE RECONSTRUCTION HIGHWAY FIVE, AND PEOPLE DON'T USE THAT STREET. THEY LEARN DIFFERENT WAYS. THEY USE AIRPORT MORE DOWN TO HARRY MCKILLOP, OR THEY GO OVER 75. ON 3 80. THEN WHEN 399 IS BUILT, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A REDUCTION OF TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAY FIVE LONG TERM THAT WOULD YOU KNOW, START TO OFFSET , UM SOME OF THE ADDITIONAL DELAY THAT'S BUILT PUT BY THIS PROJECT TODAY. NO WONDER. I MEAN, I'M TO RAISE TO SEE IF THIS IS APPROVED. I WOULD GUESS FOR 3 99 IS DONE BEFORE THEY GET FACE FOR THIS THING, AND BUT COMMIT ANYTHING WITH LITTLE BIT OF A RACE THERE BECAUSE I DON'T

[01:00:01]

EXPECT THIS IS GOING TO BE FAST. UM BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANY WAY TO COMPARE. TRAFFIC REQUIREMENTS BASED OFF WHAT THEY'RE ENTITLED FOR VERSUS TRAFFIC REQUIREMENTS BASED OFF OF THE PROPOSED WE DID NOT ASK HIM TO RUN THAT STUDY. AND SO I WOULDN'T HESITATE TO MAKE SOME ASSUMPTIONS ON WHAT THOSE LEVELS SERVICES WOULD BE, BUT I DO THINK HE WOULD NEED THOSE OTHER ACCESS POINTS JUST BECAUSE IT'S SO LIMITED IN THE AREA. RIGHT? THE APPLICANT COME UP.

MIRROR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND BOB ROTOR 1700 RED BUD SUITE 300 IN MCKINNEY. ON BEHALF OF PRESIDIUM, WHICH IS THE APPLICANT IN THIS CASE. HERE USED TO SEEING ME CARRY THE WATER ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND ONE OF THESE CASES AND I'M GOING TO VARY FROM THAT TONIGHT. I'M GOING TO START WITH A FEW OPENING REMARKS. I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MARK FARRELL, WHO IS THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT FOR PRESIDIUM. FOR HIM TO GIVE YOU SOME BACKGROUND ABOUT THE COMPANY. THEN I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE MARTIN ZERO, GRAHAM, WHO IS WITH SASAKI, NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED PLANNING FIRM TO TALK ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF FEEL THAT WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE THERE AND THEN I'M GOING TO FOLLOW UP WITH A MORE TECHNICAL EXPLANATION AT THE END. AND APOLOGIZE. WE SORT OF ALREADY HAD THIS ORDER SET. AH MR BELLER. I'D LIKE TO SORT OF ADDRESS YOUR TRAFFIC COMMENTS, BUT I WILL. IF IT'S OKAY. I'LL WAIT UNTIL IT GETS TO MY POINT.

MY PART OF THE CONVERSATION. SO WITH THAT, LET ME LET ME INTRODUCE NASA MARK TO COME FORWARD. MARK, WOULD YOU, UM AND AS YOU COME, I MEAN WHILE THE WHILE THE THERE WAS SOME MENTION THAT THIS IS A ZONING CASE, THIS IS NOT AS SOMETHING CASES THIS PROPERTY IS ALREADY ENTITLED.

THIS IS A SITE PLAN. OKAY, SO, MARK, GO AHEAD. THANKS. GET ORGANIZED HERE. OKAY, UH, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR. CITY MANAGER, COUNCIL MEMBERS. UH I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ENTERTAINING OUR REQUEST. BEFORE WE START. I JUST WANT TO GIVE A LITTLE BACKGROUND ABOUT THE COMPANY. I'M MARK FARRELL, PRESIDENT OF DEVELOPMENT FOR THE PRESIDIUM. MY ADDRESS 37 TO HOLLAND AVENUE, DALLAS. AH, COMPANY FOR CITY. UM IS, UH, TEXAS BASED COMPANY. HEADQUARTERS, BOTH IN DALLAS AND AUSTIN. 20 YEARS OLD. AND WHEN WE FIRST STARTED UH, WE ARE INTO ACQUISITION AND REHAB OF APARTMENTS. WE REQUIRED OVER 20,000 APARTMENTS. AND WE HAVE SENSE. MOVED KIND OF FLIP THE PLATFORM WHERE WE'VE GOTTEN AWAY FROM ACQUISITIONS, AND WE ARE NOW INTO DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS JUST KIND OF OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM. UM, AGAIN. WE'RE JUST TRYING TO PRESENT HERE THAT YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING. WE CERTAINLY HAVE THE RESOURCES. UH TO FINISH THE PROJECT. YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE OVER 300 EMPLOYEES. WE CURRENTLY HAVE 13,000 APARTMENTS. AND. WE ARE HAVE OVER $3.5 BILLION UNDER MAN MANAGEMENT. WE FLIPPED THE PLATFORM ABOUT SIX YEARS AGO AND GOT INTO DEVELOPMENT AND THE IDEA OF THE DEVELOPMENT WAS BEST IN CLASS SO AND ALSO BRAND BRAND , THE COMPANY AND THE QUALITY OF THE APARTMENTS. WE CURRENTLY HAVE DEVELOPED OVER 3000 UNITS.

THIS IS AN ILLUSTRATION OF A PROJECT IN FLORIDA. WE ARE DEVELOPING AND ALL OF TEXAS, FLORIDA. ATLANTA SANTA FE. LOOKING AT THE SEA AND ALSO PORTLAND'S MAIN. THIS THESE ARE TWO ILLUSTRATIONS ATOP ONE IS IN SAN ANTONIO OVERLOOKS LACANTERA THE GOLF COURSE THAT'S THE CLUBHOUSE TO LEVEL CLUBHOUSE POOL. AND THEN DOWN BELOW HILL STREET AND GRAND PRAIRIE.

DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE. WE CURRENTLY HAVE CLOSE TO 3000 UNITS UNDER CONSTRUCTION, WHICH REPRESENTS NINE PROJECTS. THE ONE WE HAVE THEIR FRISCO SQUARE. IT'S CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND FIRST UNITS. WE READY TO LEASE. IN NOVEMBER 368 UNITS. THIS IS OUR DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE. WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON 20 PROJECTS. THE MAJORITY OF THOSE WE OWN THE

[01:05:03]

SITES. UM AND WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT THE MAJORITY OF THOSE WILL GET STARTED. 2024. UH WHAT I WANT TO DO IS PRESENT SOME OTHER ASSETS THAT WE HAVE AND REALLY TO UM LET YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE QUALIFIED TO DO IT TO UNDERTAKE THE PROJECT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT A COTTON MILL. SO THESE ARE THREE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS DOWN IN AUSTIN. THE FIRST ONE IS ON EAST RIVERSIDE DOWNTOWN. IT WAS THE LARGEST REZONING. AND, UH, DOWNTOWN AUSTIN. IT'S WE ARE ENTITLED FOR 10 MILLION SQUARE FEET. AND THAT'S INCLUSIVE OF EVERYTHING. OFFICE RETAIL HOTELS. APARTMENTS. UM RIGHT NOW. WE'RE. CONSIDERING 5000 APARTMENTS. THEY'RE A LITTLE MORE THAN WE'RE CONSIDERING HERE. BUT FIRST PROJECT WE'RE GETTING READY TO BREAK GROUND AND SEPTEMBER, THE BOTTOM RIGHTS AND NINE STORY APARTMENT COMPLEX. THE NEXT ONE VELOCITY. WE HAVE 3/300 ACRES ADJACENT TO THE AIRPORT. FULLY ENTITLED 6.5 9 SQUARE FEET, ONE EXIT DOWN FROM THE TESLA FACILITY. WE HAVE BROKEN GROUND ON THE FIRST PHASE AGAIN. IT'S ALL MIXED USE. THIRD DEVELOPMENT IS THE PECAN DISTRICT IN PFLUGERVILLE, JUST NORTH. OF DOWNTOWN AUSTIN. AND IT'S ENTITLED FOR 2.5 POINTS SQUARE FEET. WE'VE COMPLETED AND STABILIZED THE FIRST APARTMENT COMPLEX, WHICH IS THE BOTTOM, RIGHT? ON THE LEFT SCREEN. AND WE'RE GETTING READY TO START THE SECOND PHASE. OTHER THAN CAPITAL . THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT . UH, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS 27 ACRES, OF WHICH SEVEN IS THAT PUBLIC SPACE? SO LITTLE HISTORY. I GUESS WE HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING THE CASEY FAMILY TWO YEARS AGO. AND IT WAS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION THAT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR. SOMEWHAT OF A PARTNER. TO GET INVOLVED WITH REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT. THE FIRST DAY I CAME HERE I'VE DONE TWO HISTORIC RENOVATION PROJECTS IN ANOTHER CITY. AND BY FAR THE MOST SATISFYING DEVELOPMENT I EVER DID. I WALKED IN AND SAW ALMOST LIKE THE OPENING SCENE. THE TITANIC YOU WALK INTO THE CARDINALS ARE WILD. THIS IS NICE. WE NEED TO BE PART OF THIS. AND SO, UM, AND TRYING TO KEEP WITH WHAT THE CASES HAVE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB AND RENOVATING. THIS HISTORIC BUILDING. WE WANTED TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT COMPLEMENTS IT. AND SO THAT THAT'S THE THOUGHT.

SO WHAT DO WE DO? I'M NOT NAIVE , AND I'VE DONE THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I'M NOT NAIVE ENOUGH TO THINK THAT I HAVE THE BEST IDEAS, SO WE ONLY WENT OUT TO THE COMMUNITY. BECAUSE YOU ALL KNOW WHAT'S WHAT'S BEST FOR THE COMMUNITY? NOT MUCH SO MYSELF. AND SO WE CONTACTED THE COMMUNITY LEADERS. EAST AND EAST MCKINNEY. BETH BENTLEY, JASON HERNANDEZ, PASTOR WILDLY WHO'S HERE TONIGHT? AH PASTOR BRAD FOR DEBORAH BRADFORD. UH, PASTOR ALVARADO. AND WE HAD MEETINGS WE GOT TOGETHER. WE BROUGHT IN THE FOOD TRUCKS. AND SO WHAT DO WE NEED? HOW DO WE HOW DO WE MAKE THIS INCLUSIVE? HOW DO WE MAKE THIS A MULTICULTURAL? DISTRICT THAT PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD CAN AFTER DINNER. LET'S JUST TAKE A WALK. LET'S GO SIT BY A FIRE PIT. LET'S GO TO THE AH, YOU KNOW, OVERLOOKED. YOU KNOW THE FOUNTAIN OR MAYBE GO TO THE STAGE AND MAYBE THERE'S SOME ENTERTAINMENT THERE. AND MAYBE THEY CAN PLAY IN THE PAVILIONS THAT WE'RE DEVELOPING. THEY CAN PLAY DOMINOES AND CHESS AND CHECKERS. UH, BUT THAT'S WHAT WE TRY TO DO. UH IN ADDITION TO THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE MET WITH PETER TOKER WITH A D C AND ASKED HIM, YOU KNOW WHAT IS HIS THOUGHTS? AND BASED ON THAT CONVERSATION, WE DID SOME ADDITIONAL OFFICE SPACE. UH, WE MET WITH CINDY SNIVEL AND ASKED HER ABOUT THE PUBLIC SPACE. AND HOW DO WE MAKE THIS DIFFERENT? BECAUSE YOU ALREADY PROVIDING A BUNCH OF PARKS WITH A LOT OF CERTAIN CHARACTERISTICS TO IT.

AND HOW DO WE MAKE THIS ONE DIFFERENT AND SO WE SAID, OKAY, LET'S MAKE THIS CULTURAL ARTISTIC HISTORIC DISTRICT. AND SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO GO WITH THIS. UH WE MET WITH THE CITY MANAGER PAUL GRIMES AND ALSO KIM FLAM. BUT HE CAN'T HOLD THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF ALL THAT WAS TO GET INPUT. ONE OF THE THINGS MET WITH THE MAYOR EARLY ON, AND HE SAID, YOU NEED TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY. YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ONE NO. SO BE AN ASSISTANT. MY ASSOCIATE. SHE SPEAKS SPANISH. IT'S ABOUT THIS TIME OF YEAR. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S 100 AND SIX BUT MIGHT HAVE BEEN HONORED TO AND WE KNOCKED ON 75 DOORS. IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. WE KNOCKED ON EVERY DOOR. AND WE PROBABLY TALKED TO SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 25

[01:10:02]

AND 30 PEOPLE. AND WITH WITH US, WE HAD OUR DEVELOPMENT PLAN. AND WE ALSO INVITED THEM TO A PRESENTATION THAT WE'RE HAVING TO CUT MILL WITH A FOOD TRUCK. WITHOUT EXCEPTION, EVERYONE WAS EXCITED ABOUT THE PROJECT. THEY WANTED IT THERE. SO WE ALSO TALKED TO THE NEWMAN NEWSOME HOUSE. MET WITH THE RESIDENTS THERE AGAIN. THEY WERE EXCITED BECAUSE NOW THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO. THERE'S SOMETHING NEARBY THAT THEY CAN WALK, TOO. SO WE REALLY HAVE TRIED YOU KNOW, TO MAKE AN OUTREACH TO EVERYONE IN THE CITY TO GET THERE. GET THEIR THOUGHTS AND CONTACTS. JUST BRIEFLY ABOUT THE APARTMENTS. I THINK EVERYONE IS FAMILIAR WITH THE LUXURY APARTMENTS. YOU KNOW THE CLUBHOUSE 9 TO 10,000 SQUARE FEET WILL HAVE A CLUB ROOM. A GAME ROOM. WE HAVE CO WORKSPACE WILL HAVE THE DOG WASHED IV E CAR CHARGING STATIONS. UM AND UM AND BIKE STORAGE. THE AMENITIES WILL HAVE THE STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES. THE COURTS COUNTERTOPS WILL HAVE THE ISLAND KITCHEN DEPENDENT LIGHTS. THE TOWEL BACKSPLASH, VT. UM WOULD LOOK FLOORING WILL HAVE SMART APARTMENTS. TEQUILA CENTURY TO THE DOORS OF THERMOSTATS WILL HAVE USB CABLE OUTLETS. PREACH THE UNITS. UH, FULL SIZE WASHER AND DRYERS. ECONOMIC IMPACT WE CAN. FEBRUARY WE HIRED CATALYSTS . JASON CLAUNCH, WHO REPRESENTS STUDIES FOR A LOT OF MUNICIPALITIES IN THE DFW MARKET. AND HE SAID, OR THE REPORTS THAT THE TOTAL ECONOMIC IMPACT OVER 20 YEARS AS CLOSE TO A BILLION DOLLARS JOBS FROM THE CONSTRUCTION OF OVER 4000 AND THE RETAIL OPERATIONS CLOSE TO 400. TAX REVENUE TO THE CITY OF THE $38 MILLION. SO I REALLY APPRECIATE. I MEAN, I'LL BE HONEST WITH THE TWO YEARS I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS. EVERYONE'S BEEN WONDERFUL. I DON'T KNOW HOW UM. TONIGHT ENDS, BUT I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL. I MEAN, IT'S REALLY BEEN A PLEASURE WORKING WITH THE CITY AND EVERYONE THAT'S BEEN WITH THIS CITY. I'M GOING TO TURN THIS OVER TO MARTIN SHORT WITH SASAKI BASED OUT OF BOSTON INFLUENCE TODAY, AND THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY WORLD CLASS AND HELPED US NOT ONLY WITH THIS MIXTURES PLAYING WITH THE THREE OTHERS IN AUSTIN MARTIN. COME HERE. COUNCIL MEMBERS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME HERE. MY NAME IS MARTIN'S URBAN URBAN DESIGNER AND PLANNER FROM BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS. WE HAVE REPRESENT SASAKI. WE HAVE OFFICES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND I'M PRIVILEGED TO HAVE WORKED IN AUSTIN IN DALLAS AND HOUSTON. A LOT IN TEXAS MY EARLY YEARS GO BACK TO RICE UNIVERSITY IN HOUSTON, SO I KNOW THE AREA VERY, VERY WELL. WE WERE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT FOR MANY OF THE THINGS THAT MARK SAID. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL, HISTORIC SITE THAT SPEAKS TO THE COMMUNITY THAT SPEAKS TO THE LEGACY OF THE CONTINENT ITSELF, AND IT ALSO SPEAKS TO THE WONDERS WONDERFUL EMERGENCE OF HISTORY, CULTURE AND COMMUNITY THAT THE PROJECT CAN BRING. WE KNOW THE LOCATION SOUTH OF, UM DOWNTOWN WANTED TO SORT OF ENSURE THAT IT'S VERY DIFFERENT FROM DOWNTOWN. IT DOESN'T COMPETE WITH THOSE SORT OF SAME USES. THE SITE PLAN ITSELF RELATIVE TO THE BULK OF THE BUILDINGS. I REALLY WANTED TO EMPHASIZE SORT OF THIS SPACE BETWEEN THE COTTON MILL HISTORIC BUILDING ITSELF, AND WHAT'S PROPOSED IS A NEW DEVELOPMENT.

THAT OUTDOOR LIVING ROOM. IS A PLACE THAT WE SEE THE COMMUNITY COMING OLD. TO PLAY. TO EAT TO LISTEN TO MUSIC TO HAVE A WEDDING TO DO THE THINGS THAT EVERYONE LOVES SO MUCH ABOUT THE COTTON MILL. TODAY WE HAVE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS THAT I WORK CLOSELY WITH TO REALLY THINK ABOUT WHAT DIVISION FOR THAT CENTRAL SPACE COULD BE. THAT CENTRAL SPACE CAN BRING TOGETHER AS MARK HAS SAID. TRUCKS AND DOMINO'S. IT CAN BRING TOGETHER WEDDINGS AND CAR SHOWS IT CAN BRING FARMERS MARKETS, CHILDREN PLAYING GAMES. CORNHOLE FOUNTAIN, ALL SORTS OF ACTIVITIES IN THIS GREAT, RELATIVELY LARGE SPACE THAT REALLY SEPARATES THOSE BUILDINGS FROM THE COTTON MILL ITSELF AND DOESN'T REALLY IMPEDE UPON HISTORIC NATURE OF THE COTTON MILL. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE WERE SPEAKING TO THE PAST IDENTITY OF THE COTTON MILL ITSELF. THE WEAVING AND BRINGING THOSE TEXTURES THROUGH. ITS CURRENT ITERATION FOR THE MILLHOUSE FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS REPRESENTED HERE TONIGHT, AS WELL AS WITH THAT FUTURE COULD BE IN TERMS OF AN ARTS CENTER FOR MCKINNEY, MORE BROADLY, SORT OF NATIONALLY KNOWN PERHAPS.

WE'RE THINKING ABOUT THE WAY IN WHICH THOSE TEXTURES CAN INFORM PAVING DETAILS. COURTYARD

[01:15:01]

DESIGNS TO REALLY BRING THAT HISTORY INTO THE PRESENT. WE'RE THINKING ABOUT THAT SPACE HERE IN EARLY SUMMER EVENING. THE BAND IS PLAYING. PEOPLE ARE SHOPPING FOR VEGETABLES THERE.

OTHER FOOD AND BEVERAGE USES, MAYBE EVEN A MOVIE NIGHT AT THE OLD COTTON MILL. IT'S A GREAT ADAPTIVE HISTORICALLY USED FOR THAT BUILDING, SUPPORTED BY THE RESIDENCES, WHICH ARE JUST ACROSS THE WAY. THE IDEA THAT MARK MENTIONED OF SITTING BY A FIRE PIT AT NIGHT SOMETHING VERY INTIMATE INDIVIDUAL AGAIN, BRINGING TOGETHER THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH THOSE NEW RESIDENTS. COMING TO AND LIVING IN AND AROUND THIS AREA. THE IDEA OF SPECIAL MOMENTS. WHETHER IT'S A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPH. WE'VE SEEN MANY OF THOSE ALREADY AT THE COTTON MILL. OR WHETHER IT'S A CAR SHOW FOR ANTIQUE CARS. THE IDEA THAT THIS IS A COMMUNITY SPACE THE SPACE FOR FOLKS TO COME TOGETHER, THE BENEFITS ARE ENORMOUS FOR WHAT THE PROJECT COULD BRING TO THE COTTON MILL, BUT ALSO TO THE BROADER COMMUNITY OF MCKINNEY AS A GREAT WEEKEND DESTINATION, MUCH LIKE IT IS TODAY. HE MENTIONED THE ARTIST'S LOFTS OR TOWN HOUSES, SORT OF THE LOWER PRODUCT THAT WE HAVE CLOSER TO THAT SMALLER TO THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD WITH SINGLE FAMILIES, AND HERE IT IS ENVISIONED AS A SERIES OF ARTISTS, STUDIOS OR ART THEMED STUDIOS. PERHAPS WITH ARTWORK IN THE BASEMENT, THE IDEA OF DECORATION ON SOME OF THE STREETS AND SORT OF WAYS IN WHICH WE'RE BRINGING THAT RICH LEGACY OF ART. INTO THE COMMUNITY ITSELF. MANY OF THE BENEFITS OF ENUMERATED ALREADY THE FAMILY FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE, THE CLOSING OF STREETS ON A TEMPORARY BASIS, POTENTIALLY LANDSCAPE ART CHILDREN'S PLAYGROUND COMMUNITY GATHERING SPACE IS A WHOLE HOST OF AMENITIES IN THAT GREAT PUBLIC SPACE BETWEEN THE TWO I'LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO BOB FOR SOME COMMENTS ABOUT OTHER ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT.

WELL I'M GOING TO PICK UP THE TECHNICAL END OF THIS, UH, A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANTED TO MAKE CLEAR OF. WHAT WE HAVE GIVEN YOU IS THE VISION. IT'S WHAT WE THINK CAN HAPPEN. WHAT? WE ARE NOT PROPOSING TODAY AND WHAT IS NOT PART OF THIS SITE PLAN PROCESS. IS ANYTHING THAT FALLS IN THIS AREA. HERE. THIS IS THAT ACTIVE OPEN SPACE THAT MARTIN WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT ONLY COMES TO BE IF YOU'VE GOT THE RESIDENCES IN THIS AREA DOWN HERE TO SUPPORT IT, AND SO WE THINK THAT. THIS IS BETTER. THIS IS THE PROCESS, RIGHT? WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE ENTITLED TO UNTIL WE GET THROUGH THIS SITE PLANNING PROCESS, SO IT'S NOT YET TIME FOR US TO PLAN THE OPEN ACTIVE SPACE YET. BECAUSE WE DON'T YET KNOW WHAT THE COMPONENTS ARE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE PLACING AGAINST IT OR THAT ARE GOING TO CONTRIBUTE TO IT. SO WHAT WE'VE TOLD YOU IS THE VISION THAT WE INTEND TO CONTINUE WITH. BUT WE'VE GOT TO DO TODAY. WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT THE WHAT IS ENTITLED IN TERMS OF THE MULTI FAMILY AND THE OFFICE. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO JUST MAKE A COMMENT BEFORE I GET INTO SOME OF THE DETAILS ABOUT THE STAFF'S AH REPORT. AND THAT IS THAT THESE ARTISTS LOSS. WILL BE A FOR SALE PRODUCT. THEY ARE NOT MULTI FAMILY PRODUCT. THEY ARE MORE OF A TOWN HOME PRODUCT, I GUESS. YOU COULD CALL THAT MULTI FAMILY, BUT THEY WOULD BE A FORCED SALE PRODUCT. WELL. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO FOCUS ON OR NOT THE 20 VARIANCES THAT THE STAFF. RECOMMENDS APPROVAL FOR BECAUSE I TRUST THAT YOU WILL TRUST THEIR JUDGMENT ON THAT.

THEY'RE SMALL. THEY AS JENNIFER SAID, THEY DEAL WITH THINGS ABOUT WHICH STREET DO YOU ENTER A PARKING GARAGE ON HOW CLOSE IS THE BUILDING TO THE STREET IN THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT? I REALLY WANT TO JUST FOCUS ON THREE THINGS. I WANT TO FOCUS ON BUILDING HEIGHTS. ONE OF AND I WANT TO FOCUS ON THOSE OTHER TWO RESIDENTIAL SETBACKS THAT THAT HAVE RISEN UP HERE. SO LET ME START WITH THE LAST BECAUSE I THINK THEY'RE THE EASIEST TO TAKE CARE OF. THE STAFF HAS A CONCERN THAT THIS EXISTING BUILDING THIS EXISTING RESIDENTS . OR THAT OUR BUILDING IS TOO CLOSE TO THAT EXISTING RESIDENTS . THERE IS A REQUIREMENT THAT THERE BE A 25 FT SEPARATION AND THAT THE ADJACENT STRUCTURE CAN BE NO HIGHER THAN TWO STORIES. WOW THAT'S NOT OUR PREFERENCE IF

[01:20:04]

THAT'S WHAT WE'VE GOT TO DO. AND THAT'S WHAT YOU DECIDE WE'VE GOT TO DO. WE CAN DO THAT. AND WHY WE WOULD DO THAT IS WE WOULD COME BACK IN REVISED THE SITE PLAN. REDUCE THAT OFFICE A LITTLE BIT, PERHAPS HAVE A STEP UP FROM A TWO STORY TO A THREE STORY. BUT IF YOU DECIDE THAT IS A CRITICAL ISSUE WEEK AND WE CAN SOLVE THAT. THE OTHER ISSUE. REALLY? LET ME I KNOW JENNIFER DREW SOME LINES AND STUFF. THIS TRACK RIGHT HERE IS OWNED BY MY CLIENT. AND SO THAT CREATES THE RESIDENTIAL SEPARATION IN THIS DIRECTION. OKAY WHAT I THINK THE STAFF WAS CONCERNED ABOUT IS THIS SET OF LOFTS RIGHT THERE. IS WITHIN 25 FT. HAVE THIS RESIDENTIAL LOT. AND IF THAT'S A PROBLEM WE CAN CORRECT THAT EASILY BY REVISING OUTSIDE PLAN AND REMOVING THAT HOME THAT IS A POTENTIAL FOR SINGLE FAMILY OWNERSHIP. SO THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM. SO WHAT I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO FOCUS ON OR THE BUILDINGS. AS SHOWN IN THIS OVERVIEW. THE FIRST PHASE OF THE APARTMENTS WOULD BE THIS BUILDING BUILDING NUMBER ONE. AND THAT IS A WRAP. THAT'S A TRADITIONAL FIVE STORY WRAPPED BUILDING THE PARKING WOULD BE IN THE COURTYARD THERE. THE OTHER THREE BUILDINGS. HAR WHAT WE CALL A PODIUM PRODUCT. AND I THINK, MR CUDDY, I YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD. WE'RE PROPOSING TO STORIES OF PARKING AND THEN FIVE STORIES OF APARTMENTS BUILT ON TOP OF THAT. THAT'S A VERY EXPENSIVE WAY TO BUILD APARTMENTS BY THE WAY, BUT WE'RE DOING IT BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A LOT OF AREA THERE TO SPREAD OUT. AND IF I HAVEN'T TOLD YOU YET, LET ME TELL YOU NOW. CRITICAL ASPECT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT IS DENSITY. WE'VE GOT TO PUT A LOT OF UNITS ON THE GROUND, AND I'LL GIVE YOU THE GOOD REASONS WHY IN ORDER TO ACTIVATE THIS AREA. SO. THAT'S WHY WE'RE NEEDING SEVEN STORIES . WE'RE ONLY BUILDING FIVE STORIES OF APARTMENTS, BUT WE GOT TO GO SEVEN STORIES TALL TO GET THAT IN THERE. THE OTHER HIDE ISSUE DEALS WITH THIS BUILDING IN THIS BUILDING. RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE THOSE ARE ON THE EDGE THE COTTON MILL EDGE THAT MAXIMUM HEIGHT, THE STREETS STORY. IF THE COTTON MILLEDGE WERE EXTENDED OVER THE HEIGHT WOULD BE FOUR STORIES. SO I WOULD PROPOSE YOU. WE COULD DO ONE OR TWO THINGS. IF YOU LIKE FOUR STORIES, WE CAN EXTEND THE EDGE. OVER TO INCLUDE THOSE TWO OFFICE BUILDINGS. SO WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE WITH FOUR STORIES. IF NOT, THEN I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO GRANT A VARIANCE TO ALLOW US TO GO FOR STORIES. YEAH THESE OFFICE BUILDINGS AND THEIR SIZE WERE REALLY BASED UPON MY CLIENTS CONVERSATION WITH MR TOKER. AND HIS INDICATION THAT WE REALLY NEED A COUPLE OF 100,000 SQUARE FEET OF SPEC OFFICE SPACE. AND SO WE HAVE PUT THESE IN THERE TO ADDRESS THAT SITUATION IN LARGE MEASURE. WE THINK THEY ARE AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT. BECAUSE AS WE AS WE ACTIVATE THIS OPEN SPACE IN HERE. WE'RE NOT ONLY GOING TO NEED PEOPLE THERE IN THE EVENINGS WHEN THEY'RE IN THEIR APARTMENTS. WE NEED PEOPLE THERE DURING THE DAYTIME WHEN THEY'RE IN THE OFFICES, SO IT'S A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP THEY OFFERED TOGETHER. UM I HAVE A FEW SLIDES HERE THAT ARE GOING TO DEPICT. WHAT I THINK. THIS IS A. THIS IS A DEPICTION OF THIS IS A SIGHTLINE STUDY. THIS IS FROM THE SOUTH. LOOKING NORTH.

SO YOU'VE GOT THE SINGLE FAMILY REGISTERED RESIDENCE IS ON THE SOUTH. WE HAVE THE RESIDENTIAL SET. WE MAKE THE RESIDENTIAL SETBACK REQUIREMENTS THERE. AND OUR OUR FIRST BUILDING OR THOSE THREE STORY LOSS. AND SO YOU CAN SEE IF YOU'RE IN A RESIDENCE TO THE SOUTH. YOU LOOK UP. YOU WILL SEE ONLY THE VERY TOP. OF A SEVEN STORY BUILDING. LIKEWISE IF YOU'RE AT THE TOP OF THE SEVEN STORY BUILDING, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE INTO THE BACKYARD OF THE RESIDENCES DOWN THERE. SOUTH OF THE OF THE COTTON MILL. PROPERTY. THIS IS ANOTHER SLIDE THAT I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT. I KNOW THAT THE STAFF IS CONCERNED ABOUT SCALE. BUT LET ME JUST SHOW YOU FROM THE NORTHERNMOST EDGE OF THE PROPOSED APARTMENT BUILDINGS. TO THE SOUTHERNMOST EDGE OF THE

[01:25:04]

COTTON MILL HISTORIC COTTON MILL BUILDING. YOU HAVE 350 FT. THAT'S A LOT OF DISTANCE SO SCALE TO ME IS A RELATIVE MEASUREMENT OR COMPARISON OF ADJACENT STRUCTURES. I DON'T THINK ANYBODY CAN MAKE A CASE THAT THE PROPOSED APARTMENTS ARE IN ADJACENT STRUCTURE TO THE COTTON MILL. IN FACT, WE HAVE SEPARATED THEM SO THAT WE CAN MAINTAIN AT THAT CASES CAN MAINTAIN THE HISTORIC CHARACTER AND NATURE OF THE COTTON MILL BUILDING ITSELF. AND YOU'LL HEAR FROM ONE OF THEM, BUT BUT I THINK THEIR THEIR INTERESTS ARE ALIGNED WITH OURS HERE. THIS AGAIN. IS THAT OPEN SPACE? AH! OVER HERE IS THE COTTON MILL. THIS IS THE THIS WILL BE THE FIVE STORY THIS WILL BE THE SEVEN STORY BUILDING. THAT THAT FRONTS ON ANDERSON STREET THAT'S ON THE SOUTH SIDE. THIS WOULD BE ANDERSON STREET RIGHT HERE. SO AGAIN. THE THEORY IS THAT WE WOULD CREATE THAT OPEN PUBLIC SPACE AVAILABLE NOT JUST TO THE RESIDENTS OF THE APARTMENTS, NOT JUST TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE COTTON MILL BUILDING, BUT TO THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS IS A RENDITION OF THE RAP. APARTMENT BUILDING. ONE OF THE THINGS IN THE MTC IS WE HAVE TO DO ELEVATIONS, RIGHT AND WE HAVE TO MIX. WE HAVE TO MEET ALL THE BUILDING MATERIALS, COMPONENTS AND WHATNOT. AND THIS IS THIS IS THE RENDITION THAT WE'VE GIVEN TO THE CITY STAFF, AND I THINK THEY'RE OKAY WITH IT. THAT'S THE WRAP BUILDING. THESE OTHER BUILDINGS IN THIS AREA HERE.

THESE ARE THE SEVEN STORY BUILDINGS. AND WHAT. THESE HAVE BEEN DESIGNED SO THAT EVEN THOUGH THE FIRST TWO STORIES ARE PARKING THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE A PARKING GARAGE. WE'VE GOT COVERINGS ON THE WINDOWS AND EVERYTHING SO. IT WOULDN'T LOOK LIKE A COMMERCIAL STOREFRONT, BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO LOOK LIKE A PARKING GARAGE ON THE FIRST LEVEL HERE. THIS RETAIL. NO THAT IS THE THAT'S THE VISITOR CENTER PROBABLY HAVE THE WORKOUT ROOM, THE EXERCISE ROOMS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF THAT GO WITH THE WITH THE BUILDING. UM MOST OF THAT ARE A LOT OF THAT, BEHIND THE IT'S PROBABLY 60 FT BAG. DOCTOR FELTUS WILL BE PART OF PARKING. OKAY? UM YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S THE FINAL SLIDE. UM YOU KNOW? TRY NOT TO WAX ELOQUENT TOO OFTEN, AND SO I'M GOING TO KEEP THIS SHORT. BUT I WANT TO GIVE THIS I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT THIS THROUGH HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE. I'M NOT AN INHERENT HAVE THE PRINT PHILOSOPHY THAT HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF. BUT I DO BELIEVE. THAT HISTORICAL OPPORTUNITIES REPEAT THEMSELVES , AND I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT FACT TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERING CONSIDERATION HERE. COTTON MILL, WHICH IS REALLY NOT A COTTON MILL. IT WAS A TEXTILE MILL. WAS CREATED BY. THE CITIZENS. THE. MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE BUSINESS LEADERS OF THE COMMUNITY IN THAT EFFORT STARTED IN 19 03. TOOK THEM EIGHT YEARS TO RAISE $200,000. THEY RAISED IT THROUGH SUBSCRIPTIONS FROM MCKINNEY RESIDENTS, INCLUDING A LOT OF WELL KNOWN WOMEN THAT YOU READ ABOUT IN THE MCKINNEY HISTORY BOOKS. THEY RAISED $200,000 AND THEY TOOK THAT $200,000, AND THEY DEPLOYED IT. TO CREATE A TEXTILE MILL. YEAH THAT POINT IN TIME, MCKINNEY WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BLACK LAND PRAIRIE AND THE BLACK ROOM PRAYER AT THAT POINT IN TIME GREW THE BEST COTTON IN THE UNITED STATES. AND COTTON WAS KING. AND MCKINNEY'S PIECE OF THAT PUZZLE WAS HEART TOWN WAS BASICALLY AN AGRICULTURAL TOWN. WE SUPPORTED THE FARMERS. THE FARMERS PRODUCED THE COTTON FARMERS BROUGHT TO COTTON TO MCKINNEY. WE HAD FIVE COTTON MILLS, WHICH YOU MIGHT KNOW IS A JIN'S, AND WE HAD TO COTTON COMPRESSES. AND OUR PLACE IN THE COTTON. STORY WAS COTTON CAME IN. IT WAS ROUGHLY CLEANED. IF WE NEEDED TO BAIL IT, IT WENT TO THE COMPRESS COMPRESS, AND THEN IT WAS LOADED

[01:30:02]

ON RAILROAD CARS. AND TRUCKED DETECTS TAMILS IN DALLAS. AND GALVESTON'S IN SAINT LOUIS. SO ARE. OUR INTERACTION WITH COTTON STOPPED AT THAT POINT IN TIME. WELL IN THE LIGHT. 18 HUNDREDS EARLY 19 HUNDREDS, THE UNITED STATES WAS IN THE GREAT DEPRESSION. NOT THE GREAT DEPRESSION, BUT IT WAS IN A VERY SEVERE DEPRESSION. AND WHAT WE WHAT THE HISTORY BOOKS. TELL ME ABOUT MCKINNEY AT THAT POINT IN TIME WAS MANY, MANY OF WHAT HAD BEEN FAMILY FARMERS GOT FORCED OUT OF THEIR FARMS BECAUSE I COULDN'T MAKE A LIVING FARMING. AND SO THEY WERE HAVING TO LOOK FOR WORK ELSEWHERE. AND WHAT USED TO HAPPEN IN A COTTON MILL ENVIRONMENT OR IN A TEXTILE ENVIRONMENT WAS THE MEN STAYED IN AT THE FARM AND WORKED AND THE WOMEN AND THE CHILDREN WENT TO THE MILL. AND WORKED AT THE MILL. MCKINNEY WAS JUST THE OPPOSITE. BECAUSE WE WERE DIDN'T HAVE EMPLOYMENT. WE HAD NO MANUFACTURING AT THAT POINT IN TIME. THE MAN LEFT THE FIELDS AND THEY CAME TO WORK. THEY WERE THE LARGEST POPULATION GROUP. OF WORKERS AT THE AT THE TEXTILE MILL. SO THE CITY FATHERS SAID. WE NEED TO CREATE JOBS FOR THE PEOPLE HERE. WE NEED TO CREATE ECONOMY FOR OUR CITY. THEY RAISE THE $200,000. THEY WENT DOWN TO WHERE THE COTTON MILL IS. TODAY.

THEY BOUGHT 35 ACRES OR 30 ACRES. THEY BUILT THE MILL. THEY BOUGHT THE EQUIPMENT HAD IT SHIPPED IN THEY BUILT THE PERTINENT BUILDINGS TO THE MILL , THE WATER TOWERS AND WHATNOT.

AND I PUT IN THAT GRID OF STREETS TO THE SOUTH OF THE MILL AND ON THAT WERE ABOUT 35 TENEMENT HOUSES. THEY WERE COMPANY HOUSES. THIS WAS A COMPANY TOWN. RIGHT AT THE EDGE OF MCKINNEY. MCKINNEY AT THAT TIME STOPPED NORTH OF FINCH PARK , SO THERE WAS A PRETTY GOOD DISTANCE BETWEEN THE COTTON MILL IN MCKINNEY. BUT THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF THE WORKERS LIVED IN A LOT OF THE OTHER HOUSES, THE ONE THAT JENNIFER POINTED OUT, THAT'S NEXT TO OUR OFFICE BUILDING. REALLY WASN'T OWNED BY THE COTTON MILL AUTHORITY WOULD CHOOSE THE TEXAS COTTON MILL COMPANY. IT WAS ONE THAT WAS BUILT ADJACENT TO THAT, AND THERE WERE A LOT OF OTHER STRUCTURES LIKE THAT BECAUSE OF THE NEED FOR HOUSING THERE. SO EIGHT YEARS TO RAISE $200,000.

THEY TAKE THAT MONEY, THEY DEPLOY IT AND WHAT DO WE HAVE? WE NOW HAVE A MANUFACTURING CONCERN IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY THAT OVER TIME. GREW ITS EMPLOYMENT UP TO 300 PEOPLE. AND THAT MILL STAYED IN PLACE FROM 1911 UNTIL THE EARLY 19 SIXTIES , WHEN IT WAS FINALLY SHUT DOWN TO THE OBSOLESCENCE. THAT'S THE VISION THAT THE IMPORTANT DECISION MAKERS IN MCKINNEY HAD IN THE EARLY EARLY 19 HUNDREDS. YOU KNOW, THEY DIDN'T WORRY ABOUT. ARE WE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE? THEY DIDN'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT IF THIS ISN'T SUCCESSFUL, THEY JUST SAID WE'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING. WE THINK THIS IS THE BEST THING WE WANT TO GET IN THE STREAM OF COMMERCE WITH COTTON BEYOND BAILING IT AND SHIPPING IT OUT, AND THIS IS WHAT THEY DID TURNED OUT TO BE A GOOD DECISION. YOU HAVE A DECISION ON THIS PROJECT? YOU HAVE A DECISION TO CREATE A SITUATION WHERE WE CAN PUT 1100 PLUS UNITS OF. MULTI FAMILY ON THE GROUND WHERE WE CAN PUT 35 TOWN HOMES FOR SALE ON THE GROUND. UH, WHAT DOES THAT DO? THAT I THINK HELPS ERASE THE FOOD. UM DESERT THAT WE HAVE IN EAST MCKINNEY BECAUSE WE HAVE PEOPLE IN THERE WITH DISPOSABLE INCOMES. THAT'S LIKE THAT'S THE CRITICAL ASPECT. IT PROBABLY HELPS GET RETAIL TO THAT MCKINNEY. WE HAVE PEOPLE WITH DISPOSABLE INCOMES. IT CERTAINLY INCREASES THE VALUES OF THIS PROPERTY. IF NOTHING ELSE. SO I SEE THIS NOT AS A EXCUSE ME, NOT AS A MULTI FAMILY PROJECTS.

ACTUALLY THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SORT OF RE FRAME. SOUTHERN MCKINNEY. LET ME GIVE YOU ONE OTHER LITTLE BOB BRODER THOUGHT OKAY, THEN YOU CAN DO WITH IT. WHAT YOU WANT. WHEN. WE GET COMMERCIAL SERVICE AT THE AIRPORT, AND I BELIEVE IN MY HEART OF HEARTS, IT WILL HAPPEN.

PEOPLE THAT LEAVE THE TERMINAL BUILDING. ARE GOING TO GO SOUTH . THEY'RE GOING TO COME DOWN HERE, HARRY MCKILLOP. THEY'RE GOING TO COME UP. HIGHWAY FIVE MCDONALDS STREET THIS IS GONNA BE THE FRONT DOOR FROM THE SOUTH OF MCKINNEY. AH! THAT KIND OF TRAFFIC PATTERN AND THIS DENSITY WILL INCENT. A BOUTIQUE HOTEL. AT THE COTTON MILL. IT WILL INCENT EVEN MORE EATERIES AND DRINK REASON WE HAVE AND IT WILL BE. IT WILL BE A GREAT GIG WAY INTO THE CITY. SO TALK ABOUT

[01:35:06]

HEIGHT, I THINK IS A LITTLE NEARSIGHTED. WE'RE OUT. WE'RE NOT NEXT TO ANYBODY EXCEPT WE DO HAVE SOME HOMES. YEAH. BUT WE'RE STAND ALONE AND ALL OF OUR HEIGHT IS INTERIOR TO THE SITE.

IF WE CAN'T GO SEVEN STORIES WITH THOSE PODIUM PRODUCTS. THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ON SITE IS GOING TO BE CUT BY 400 OR 450 PEOPLE. THAT'S A BIG SLICE OUT OF THE ECONOMIC PIE. THAT'S THAT'S GONNA SUCK THAT SOUTH MCKINNEY IS GOING TO SUFFER WITHOUT IT.

UM. SO LET ME STOP THERE. LET ME ADDRESS ONE OTHER THING, AND I'M SORRY. THIS IS THIS IS A IT IS NOT A GOOD SWEAT SEGUE, BUT YOU ALL RECOGNIZE IN RESPONSE TO JUSTIN'S QUESTION. THAT NOBODY GETS TO BUILD ANYTHING IN MCKINNEY WITHOUT A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS. RIGHT SO EVEN IF YOU APPROVE ALL THIS, IN OUR TRAFFIC IMPACT, ANALYSIS SAYS, WE'VE GOT TO EXTEND FOWLER STREET ALL THE WAY DOWN TO INDUSTRIAL WE'RE STUCK UNTIL THAT HAPPENS. ALRIGHT GREAT INCENTIVE FOR US TO DO IT A GOOD CHECK FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. SO HERE. YOU'RE NOT GONNA SEE A TRAFFIC. NIGHTMARE. JUST BASED UPON THE STRUCTURE AND THE SYSTEMS THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE IN PLACE. I'LL STOP. THANK YOU. AH LET ME ANSWER THE QUESTIONS QUESTIONS FOR BOB BEFORE WE HEAR FROM PUBLIC COMMENTS. I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT, UM, TIMEFRAME. WHAT'S GOING TO BE BUILT INITIALLY. UM. BECAUSE I COULD SEE BILL IN THE APARTMENTS AND THEN NOTHING ELSE HAPPENED.

WHAT? WHAT PART OF IT TO THE PARKS GET BUILT TO THE RETAIL GET BUILT. IS THE OFFICE JUST WHENEVER IT COMES. I MEAN THAT'S A CONCERN FOR ME. YEAH GREAT QUESTION. ALL QUESTIONS ARE GREAT. I DON'T KNOW. WHY IS THAT? THIS IS THE FIRST PHASE. THIS IS A TRADITIONAL FIVE STORY WRAPPED PRODUCT. SO THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST PHASE THAT REALLY HELPS PROVE UP. THE MARKET HERE RIGHT PROVES UP THE RENTS. APPROVES UP THE VIABILITY THAT PEOPLE WILL COME TO THIS LOCATION AND WHATNOT. AND THEN THE OTHERS WILL BE IN PHASES BASED UPON HOW EACH PHASE LEASE IS UP. THE LOSS. WE INTEND TO DO MAKE THOSE AVAILABLE AGAIN. THAT'S A FOR SALE PRODUCTS, SO WE'LL PROBABLY START WITH A COUPLE OF THE OF THE ROW HOUSE OR THE TOWN HOME UNIS TO DO THAT. AH THE GOOD NEWS IS WE'RE NOT HAVING TO PUT IN ANY STREETS. ONE OF THE THINGS I LEFT OUT OF MY HISTORICAL VIGNETTE WAS THE PEOPLE WHO WERE THOSE FOUNDERS ARE ALSO THE PEOPLE FOR WHOM THOSE STREETS ARE NAMED AFTER HE WILL RECOGNIZE HIM A. M. SCOTT BURROWS NEWSOME. ALL THOSE WERE ALL OF THE ORIGINAL FOLKS THAT CONTRIBUTED MONEY TO BUY AND CREATED THE TEXTILE MILL. SO UH, THE OFFICE THE OFFICE, UH, RICK IS ONE OF THOSE DEALS WHERE WE MIGHT PUT UP A SPECK. BUT WE WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE ASSISTANCE OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. WE'VE ALREADY HAD SOME OFFICERS TOUGH . WE'VE ALREADY HAD SOME DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THAT. DID THAT. ANSWER YOUR QUESTION WE HAVE. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE AMENITIES? WELL OKAY, SO ONCE WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO ONCE WE HAVE IT, THE SIZING OF BEING OF THE POPULATION. THEN ONE OF THE STOPS WILL MAKE WILL BE BACK TO GO BACK TO SEE THE CDC. HE'S ALREADY BEEN CONVERSATION WITH CINDY, AND THAT WILL BE A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT BETWEEN THE CASEY FAMILY THAT OWNS THE COTTON MILL AND PRESIDIUM. HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET SOME HELP FROM THE CDC. BUT THERE ISN'T PARKLAND DEDICATION THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BUILDING THESE RIGHT? NO, SIR. AND THE MTC. THERE IS NO PARKLAND REQUIREMENT. OKAY, BUT NOBODY'S GOING TO COME TO A LIVABILITY THING. YEAH, YEAH. OKAY? YOU DON'T REALLY NEED US FOR PHASE ONE, THOUGH, RIGHT? YOU COULD BUILD THAT RIGHT NOW. THEORETICALLY FOUR STORY FOUR STORIES YOU COULD DO, BUT FIVE YOU CAN'T. SO YOU NEED US FOR PHASE 12. OKAY I NOTICED ON ONE OF YOUR SLIDES SAYS THAT ON PHASE ONE, THERE WILL BE A 10% ALLOCATION TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR 80% AM I? YES, UM AND I'M ONLY ASKING THIS BECAUSE YOU'RE HERE AND I CAN, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THAT. IF THAT'S POSSIBLE. YOU KNOW WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE EAST SIDE, AND THE FOLKS HAVE GROWN UP OVER HERE, I THINK THAT THE NEED COULD BE MORE AND WHETHER WE REDUCE THAT TO 60, OR WHETHER WE REDUCE THE AREA INCREASED TO 15% FOR 80% OF AM I SOMETHING LIKE THAT? THAT'S JUST YOU DON'T HAVE TO RESPOND TO ME BY LIKE TO SEE THAT THE OTHER THING I WANT TO SAY THIS IS REALLY FOR FOLKS TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THIS, BUT IT HASN'T REALLY BEEN BROUGHT UP

[01:40:04]

THAT ON THE EAST SIDE. WE HAVE THE RAILROAD TRACKS THAT ARE OWNED BY DARK AND THIS IT'S NOT ACCESSIBLE. IT'S REALLY RELATIVELY DREADFUL. HOW ISOLATED THIS IS AND WITH THE STREETS AND WE'VE GOT THERE AND ANYONE WHO'S BEEN TO THE CURRENT TAPS KNOWS THAT SO IT'S A HARDSHIP NOW, JUST BETWEEN US. THE PARKING IS THE REAL TOUGH THING HERE, RIGHT? JUST CORRECT ME ANYWHERE. I'M WRONG, BUT SURFACE PARKING. YOU JUST DON'T HAVE THE SURFACE TO DO IT, BUT WE LOOK AT OTHER PARTS OF MCKINNEY. WE SEE A LOT OF APARTMENTS BEING BUILT WITH SURFACE PARKING, CHEAPEST WAY TO DO IT, BUT WE STILL HAVE THE ACREAGE HERE TO DO IT AND STILL HAVE THE DENSITY WITHOUT GOING UP TO 40 STORIES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THAT THAT'S ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. WE DO HAVE SOME ON STREET PARALLEL PARKING RIGHT? THAT JUST SHOWS THE COMMITMENT OF MY CLIENT TO THIS PROJECT. BUILDING A PODIUM PROJECT IS MUCH, MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE THAN BUILDING A RAP. I YES. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT NOW, ONE OTHER THING THAT JUST IS OUT THERE IS THAT WHAT'S AN EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE WAY TO BUILD THE PARKING, BUT IT IS DOABLE IF WE WANTED TO IS DIG OUT THE PARKING RIGHT AND PUT IT UNDERGROUND. BUT THAT JUST GETS INTO HUGE DOLLARS, AND THAT'S WHY THAT'S NOT ON THE TABLE. IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT? OKAY SO THIS IS JUST A COMMENT FOR OTHER FOLKS IS THAT WE'RE SEEING THIS ALL THE TIME, WITH THE NEED FOR DENSITY IN THESE APARTMENTS HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF FIXED COSTS THAT COMES IN THERE AND THEY'VE GOT TO HAVE THE DENSITY OR THE MATH JUST SIMPLY DOESN'T WORK TO DO IT. AND WE'VE SEEN THAT FOR A NUMBER OF PROJECTS HERE. THEY'VE COME ACROSS, AT LEAST IN MY TENURE COUNCIL LAST 18 MONTHS.

THANK YOU. AND I'LL JUST ADD TO THAT COMMENT THAT IT'S STAND ALONE ACCURATE, OF COURSE FOR THE PRODUCT ITSELF. DENSITY IS ALSO REQUIREMENT CATALYZE OR THE OTHER TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT OUTSIDE SO IT DOESN'T PENCIL OUT WITHOUT A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF DENSITY. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, FROM I THINK I UNDERSTAND. POINT UP HERE IS WE'RE NOT AS WORRIED ABOUT THE DEVELOPERS. BOTTOM LINE IS, IS THAT A CATALYST PROJECT AND DOES THE DENSITY ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING ELSE? I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, BABA. I UM INITIALLY SAYING, I'VE CHANGE YET. INITIALLY I WAS SUPPOSED TO THIS PROJECT BASED ON SEVEN STORIES. FOR ME. IT WAS. IT WAS JUST A HARD NOTE, BECAUSE MY ANTICIPATION IS THAT AND THAT I THINK MY COMMENTS AT THE TIME WHERE I JUST CAN'T SUPPORT THIS WITH THIS HEIGHT, YOU KNOW, UNLESS THE COMMUNITY COMES OUT AND SAYS THEY WANT IT, WHICH I DON'T EVER SEE HAPPENING. UM I'M OPEN TO HEAR FROM THE COMMUNITY TODAY. I KNOW THERE'S BEEN THAT'S WHEN I SAT, GENTLEMEN, UM PARK MADE THE COMMENT THAT I SAID YOU NEED TO GET OUT IN THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE I CAN'T SUPPORT IT UNLESS THE COMMUNITY IS GOING TO SUPPORT IT. SO I KNOW WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE HERE TO SPEAK. AND THESE ARE NOT JUST INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE WITH PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN OUT IN THE COMMUNITY AND ARE BRINGING A MESSAGE FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, OR AT LEAST I HOPE THAT BY THE WAY MESSAGE COULD BE AGAINST YOU. SO I DON'T WANT TO SET YOU UP. IF IT IS UM BUT I KNOW THE PEOPLE ON THIS LIST SOME OF THEM AND I AND I'M REALLY ANXIOUS TO HEAR FROM THEM. UM I DO AS A DEVELOPER AND A GUY THAT UNDERSTANDS. UM AS I THINK EVERYONE APPEAR DOES WHETHER THEY'RE DEVELOPED OR NOT. BACK TO THE CATALYZING. THIS NEIGHBORHOOD GETTING. ELIMINATING THE FOOD DESERT, THE RESTAURANT DESERT, THE ENTERTAINMENT DESERT. UM, THAT'S ONLY GOING TO HAPPEN WITH DENSITY. ONLY PERIOD WE COULD BUILD THAT WE COULD BUILD WHATEVER WE COULD BUILD IN SINGLE FAMILY HOMES HERE AND IT WILL HAVE. NO IT WON'T MAKE A SINGLE TEENY TINY DENT IN ANY OF THOSE OTHER THINGS THAT PROVIDES NOTHING DENSITY WISE, SO IF WE'RE TRYING TO SEE THIS AREA, EXPAND AND HAVE ECONOMIC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT, AND WITH THAT THE AMENITY GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT THAT WE NEED TO HAVE DENSITY SO I'M I'M ANXIOUS TO HEAR FROM THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE. BECAUSE WITH THEM OPPOSED CAN'T SUPPORT IT. I AM ANXIOUS TO HEAR WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY. AND I'M ALSO ANXIOUS TO HEAR FROM DISTRICT ONE REPRESENTATIVE TRUST. I KNOW THAT HE HAS BEEN VERY ACTIVE ON THIS PROJECT IN REALLY GETTING A FEEL FOR THE COMMUNITY BETWEEN HIS COMMENTS IN THE COMMENTS OF OUR PEOPLE HERE SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE COMMUNITY. I THINK THAT THE WAY I KNOW WAY ON ME. IF ANYONE HAS ANOTHER QUESTION, BABA I LOVE TO HEAR PUBLIC COMMENT HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION THAT WAS DOWN IN AUSTIN JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO, TOOK MY GIRLS DOWN AND WE STAYED IN A LOCATION JUST NEAR RAINEY STREET. AND ON THE SOUTH CORNER. THERE IS A SINGLE FAMILY HOME. VERY OLD AND YOU KNOW, NOT IN GREAT SHAPE. IT WAS AN EYESORE STUCK OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB. SO MY QUESTION IS. WHAT IS THE STORY WITH THIS HOUSE? THERE ON THE CORNER? HAVE YOU REACHED OUT ? IS IT A RENTAL? UM SITUATION THERE? HAVE WE REACHED OUT TO THE HOMEOWNER? WHAT IS THE DISCUSSION WITH THEM IN TERMS OF THEIR POSITION IN ALL OF THIS AND ADDRESS THAT MARK, PLEASE? THANK YOU. I'M PROBABLY NOT THE

[01:45:01]

BEST ONE TO ANSWER THIS. I KNOW THE CASES HAVE BEEN IN CONVERSATION WITH THEM FOR YEARS . AND SO I'M MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THEY JUST CAN'T COME TO AGREE TO A PRICE AT THIS TIME.

SO BUT THE CASES HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THEM BAIT. THEY KNOW THAT THE OWNER QUITE WELL. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT, BOB BACK WILL. HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC DECISION A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM. FIRST I HAVE ON MY LIST IS MARK THIBODEAU. HELLO. MY NAME'S MARK THIBODEAU. I LIVE PRETTY MUCH ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS FROM THE COTTON MILL. I HAD 8 10 MAPLES AVENUE. UM I'VE BEEN THERE FOR ABOUT SIX YEARS NOW. AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT BEING A RESIDENT OF SOMETHING GOES BY WITH THE FAMILY, MYSELF AND ALSO A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER. UM THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT OPEN AND GRATEFUL TO AND TO ME AND MY FAMILY AND ABOUT WHAT? WHAT? WE'RE. WHAT THE CITY OF MCKINNEY IS LIKE A BOW AND I JUST SUPPORT WHAT THEY'RE DOING HERE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE AMENITIES NEARBY. LIKE I REALLY FEEL THAT HAVING SOMETHING LIKE THIS ON THE EAST SIDE WILL BRING A LOT MORE OPPORTUNITY TO US ON THE OTHER SIDE OF MCDONALD. UM, I SEE A LOT OF DEVELOPMENTS LIKE THIS GETTING BUILT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF MCKINNEY AND LIKE THE TBS OVER THERE, THERE'S MORE BUSINESSES OVER THERE. THERE'S A NEW MOVIE THEATERS OVER THERE LIKE I KIND OF FEEL LIKE HAVING SOMETHING LIKE THIS OVER HERE ON OUR SIDE WOULD BRING MORE THINGS LIKE THAT. MM CURRENTS TURNING THE TRAFFIC. I'M NOT TOO WORRIED ABOUT IT, BUT I RATHER BE TRAFFIC FROM RESIDENTS LIVING IN MY COMMUNITY THAN JUST ANOTHER INDUSTRIAL BUILDING. SOMETHING LIKE THAT SOMETHING THAT'S WHAT I SAID. THANK YOU, SIR. UM BETH BECK. HELLO LAST WEEK. TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT BACK I LIVE ON THE STREET A COUPLE OF BLOCKS AWAY. I AM ATTENDANT OF THE COTTON MILL. AND SO I'VE BEEN THERE SINCE 2019. IT'S OUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME, AND THE CASES HAVE HELPED US. FLOURISH AT MILHOUSE. UM SO IN THE TIME WE'VE BEEN THERE IN THE LAST AFTER FIVE YEARS WE'VE WATCHED THE COTTON MILL TRANSFORM. WE'VE SEEN NEW CONSTRUCTION AND NEW TENANTS. WE HAVE OUR FIRST COFFEE SHOP EVER WHITE BOX ROASTERY. AND NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE LAND BEHIND THE COTTON MILL, WHERE THE COTTON MILL FAMILIES USED TO LIVE. SO I ALSO WANT TO GIVE HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE. WE DID NOT COORDINATE THIS. BUT IF YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT THE COTTON MILL TEXTILE MILL BACK THEN IT WAS A EXTREMELY PROGRESSIVE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT. THAT'S WHAT IT WAS FOR THE CITY. SO THEY CAME IN, AND THEY MADE A ONE STOP SHOP. INSTEAD OF HAVING TO GO DO THE SPINNING AND THE DYEING AND WEAVING AT DIFFERENT PLACES. IT WAS ALL IN HOUSE AND SO THE OWNERS CAME IN AND CREATED HOMES. THEY NOT ONLY CREATED THE HOMES, THEY HAD A SCHOOL FOR THE KIDDOS FOR THE HOME WORKERS. THEY HAD A COMMUNITY CENTER, A CENTER EMPLOYEES COULD GET TOGETHER THEY HAD EXTREMELY PROGRESSIVE POLICIES. NO CHILD LABOR. AND THE WOMEN WERE PAID WITHIN 10.

CENTS OF WHAT THE MEN WOULD PAY FOR, WHICH IS UNHEARD OF. THEY ALSO HAD RUNNING WATER. THEY HAVE A CREATIVE USE OF PUTTING A WATER TOWER ON THE TOP OF THE FACILITY SO THE EMPLOYEES COULD HAVE THOSE NICE AMENITIES, BUT MY FAVORITE THING IS THAT THE WOMEN WERE PROMINENT IN THE CREATION OF THE COTTON MILL. SO MARY ELIZABETH CRANE, BOYD WAS ON THE ORIGINAL BOARD OF DIRECTORS. BOYD HIGH SCHOOL. SO IT WAS REALLY CREATED AS COMMERCE FOR COMMUNITY BACK THEN. IN ITS INCEPTION, AND SO WHAT? I REALLY SEE IN THIS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS COMMERCE FOR COMMUNITY AGAIN. IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT WAY. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT A COMPARABLE PROGRESSIVE MIXED USE FACILITY AND PROJECT. SO THE COTTON MILL AT THE TIME WAS MASSIVE. I MEAN HUGE FOR THAT. THIS DEVELOPMENT IS MASSIVE. SO WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT WE'RE GOING UP, BUT AT THE TIME THE COTTON MILL WAS SO BIG IN THAT COMMUNITY, SO IT'S REALLY IF I JUST WANT TO KIND OF DO THE PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. TODAY IS THE SAME KIND OF COMPLEX AND GROWTH THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR THIS COMMUNITY, AND IT REALLY IS BRINGING KIND OF IT'S NOT THAT THERE'S NOT LIFE IN THE COMMUNITY NOW IS BRINGING A DIFFERENT KIND OF UM, VIBRANT

[01:50:04]

BACK TO THIS IN THERE IS A FOOD DESERT. I WORK THERE WE CAN, YOU KNOW? I BRING LUNCH EVERY DAY BECAUSE YOU CAN'T REALLY GO DOWNTOWN. THERE'S NO PLACE TO PARK TO GET FOOD SO WE CAN UBER FOOD BUT TO BE ABLE TO WALK. UM GET COFFEE RIGHT NOW. IT'S AWESOME TO BE ABLE TO WALK IN THE BACK AND THE PARTS SO I JUST WANT YOU TO HAVE THE PERSPECTIVE. ALSO I LIVED IN D.

C FOR 30 YEARS AND SO THE NASA BUILDING WAS ON THE EDGE OF THE SEA. THERE USED TO BE HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS FOR THE CITY. SO THERE NOTHING COULD BE IN THE WAY OF THE CAPITAL UNTIL THERE WEREN'T AND THEN THE BUILDINGS GREW UP, SO I THINK WE'RE KIND OF GETTING IN THAT CONVERSATION NOW WITH THE CITY, SO THANKS. THANK YOU. BETH BENTLEY. EVENING. GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL AND MR CITY MANAGER . I'M BETH BENTLEY, P O BOX 2931 MCKINNEY, TEXAS 75 070. SO ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO TODAY I WAS INVITED ALONG WITH OTHER COMMUNITY SERVANT LEADERS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE INTRODUCTION TO AND DISCUSSION ABOUT A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COTTON MILL. MR MARK FARRELL. HAS PROVIDED MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES TO GATHER INPUT. SOMETIMES VERY DIRECT INPUT THAT WOULD CHALLENGE THE STATUS QUO OF A TRADITIONAL DEVELOPMENT. AS THE CONVERSATIONS AND THE RENDERINGS DEVELOPED. SO DID THE UPDATES AS REFLECTED IN THE PROPOSED FINAL DEVELOPMENT. ULTIMATELY THIS PROJECT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PROVIDE A MYRIAD OF OPPORTUNITIES. THE ONE THING THAT I WANT TO PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGED TO MISS FARRELL IS THAT WHEN I SPEAK ABOUT THE RENDERINGS BEING DEVELOPED THE FIRST MEETING I SAW NO ONE WE SPOKE ABOUT CULTURALLY. DIVERSE OPPORTUNITIES, BUT I SAW NO DIVERSITY IN THE MARKETING MATERIALS. THE NEXT MEETING THAT WAS CHANGED AND I APPRECIATE THAT. I FELT LIKE I WAS HURT. AND SO THOSE POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES THAT COULD BE PROVIDED CULTURALLY DIVERSE OPPORTUNITIES THAT REFLECT THE RICH HISTORY OF EAST MCKINNEY AND PUBLIC SPACES THROUGH ART HISTORY AND FUTURE CREATIVE DESIGNS AND ENHANCING THE CURRENT STORIES THAT EXIST REGARDING THE COTTON MILL. THEY DO TIP PRETTY MUCH REFLECT THE FOUNDING FATHERS AS WE KNOW CERTAIN STORIES. DON'T ALWAYS INCORPORATE PEOPLE OF COLOR. AND SO THIS GIVES AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE A BULLER STORY. ALSO THE ONGOING INPUT FROM THE AD HOC COMMITTEE, UM, ADVISORY COMMITTEE THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS BEING A PART OF THAT, THROUGH ITS FRUITION AND THEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUNDING FOR PUBLIC SPACES AND DEDICATED AFFORDABLE HOUSING, WHICH WOULD BE PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT ALONG WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE TO CONSIDER CREATIVE PARKING OPPORTUNITIES. IF THAT HAS TO TAKE PLACE BEYOND WHAT IS ALREADY PRESENTED, AND THEN FINALLY, HE CONTINUED INPUT FROM THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY AND STAKEHOLDERS TO ENHANCE TRAFFIC PATTERNS THAT DO NOT OVERBURDEN THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. UM IN AREAS LIKE PASTOR WATLEY AND SAY, MARK AND THE COMMUNITY, UM JUST RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET OF NEWSOME, THOSE CONTINUED CONVERSATIONS WITH THOSE STAKEHOLDERS AND THE COMMUNITY THAT EXISTS ALONG THE EASTERN PORTION OF. OF ELM STREET AS WELL AS THOSE ADDITIONAL STREETS THAT OR ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY FOR THESE REASONS AT THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER MY CONDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR THIS PROJECT BASED ON WHAT BOILS DOWN TO THIS SIMPLE STATEMENT FOR THE DEVELOPER. EVEN IF THE PATH IS CHALLENGING, MAINTAIN THE PUBLIC'S TRUST BY SIMPLY DOING WHAT YOU SAY YOU'RE GOING TO DO.

WE KNOW THAT THAT CAN BE DONE. THANK YOU, AND I APPRECIATE BEING A PART OF THIS PROCESS.

CALL CASEY. GOOD EVENING CITY COUNCIL. MY NAME IS MCCALL CASEY AT 16, HELM STREET AND MCKINNEY, TEXAS. AND I WORK ALONGSIDE MY BROTHER CHANDLER AND MY DAD, TERRY COTTON MILL. SINCE MY FATHER PURCHASED THE BUILDING IN 1996 HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WATCH BOTH THE COTTON MILL AND MCKINNEY GROW. WE HAVE BEEN THE CARETAKERS OF THIS HISTORIC BUILDING SINCE WE PURCHASED IT, AND WE HOPE TO BE THE CARETAKERS FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. MCKINNEY IS NO LONGER THE SMALL TOWN, TEXAS COMMUNITY OF 45,000 THAT I WAS USED TO SEEING WHILE WORKING SUMMERS MOWING THE FIELDS CLEANING THE BARN OUT IN HIGH SCHOOL. MCKINNEY HAS GROWN TO A THRIVING CITY OF ROUGHLY

[01:55:04]

210,000 NOW HOSTS NATIONAL EVENTS, WHICH BRING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS MORE TO OUR UNIQUE TOWN. SINCE JOINING FULL TIME IN 2019. IT HAS BEEN MY GOAL TO BRING THE COTTON MILL TO THE THRIVING FACILITY THAT IT ONCE WAS. CULTURAL DESTINATION THAT COMPLEMENTS THE SPECIAL ASPECTS OF DOWNTOWN AND EAST SIDE. WE KNOW THE COTTON MYLAN BODIES THE CITY'S MOTTO OF UNIQUE BY NATURE, AND IT'S MY JOB TO MAKE SURE THE BUILDING KEEPS THE UNIQUE FEEL WHILE PROVIDING MODERN FINISHED OFFICES AND STUDIOS. MARK FARRELL AND PRESIDIUM APPROACHES ROUGHLY TWO YEARS AGO AND IMMEDIATELY SAW THE VISION THAT TERRY HAD WHEN HE FIRST PURCHASED THE BUILDING IN 96. THEY SAW THAT THIS COULD BE A UNIQUE HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL DESTINATION. KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. WE HAVE WORKED DILIGENTLY AND PERSISTENTLY TO GET COMMUNITY INPUT OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS AS MARK AND BOB TALKED ABOUT THE COTTON MILL FULLY BELIEVES AND SUPPORTS THAT SEVEN STORIES WILL BRING THE RIGHT DENSITY TO MAKE THIS CULTURAL DISTRICT. WATCH WHAT WE'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE FOR MCKINNEY. IT WILL GIVE US THE ABILITY TO RESTORE THE COTTON MILL TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL, BRINGING UNIQUE RETAIL. AND CREATIVE OPPORTUNITIES TO THE EAST SIDE. AND I'LL GO ON THE SCRIPT HERE. WHAT MANY NOW? NO. UM MOST OF THE RESIDENTS THAT WORKED AT THE COTTON MILL LIVED IN THE FIELD TO THE SOUTH, AS BOB TOLD US EARLIER UM AND SO OUR FAMILY BELIEVES THAT IT'S THE RIGHT TIME TO BRING THE PEOPLE BACK TO THE COTTON MILL. THE COTTON MILL INVERSE IDIOMS CHAIRED VERSION OF BRINGING THE 113 YEAR OLD DISTRICT BACK TO ITS FORMER GLORY. SEARCH WITH BRINGING THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF DENSITY TO DRIVE IT. SEVEN STORIES OF MULTI FAMILY WILL BRING THE POPULATION TO CREATE A THRIVING DISTRICT.

FOR ALL AGES AND CULTURES. PRESIDIUM DESIGN AND MASTER PLAN CREATES THE PLATFORM FOR THE DEVELOPMENT TO GROW PROPERLY AND ALIGNS WITH WHAT MY FAMILY'S GOALS HAVE BEEN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. CHARLES WILDLY. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL . IT IS MY PLEASURE TO STAND FOR YOU. NEVER GET INTO THIS PLACE. GLAD TO BE HERE TONIGHT. UM. I GOT TO GIVE YOU MY ADDRESS. 50 35 FALCON HOLLY ROAD. MCKINNEY TEXAS 7572. GREW UP AT 600 LINDSAY STREET. AS A CHILD, WHICH YOU DID ENDS INTO STREET. MY PARENTS LIVE FOR OVER 30 YEARS ON ROCK, WALL STREET 9 12 ROCK WALL STREET, WHICH DID ENDS TO THE SOUTH ON ELM STREET. AS A SEVEN OR EIGHT YEAR OLD. I WON'T UP ONE STREET GOING TO JUANITA MAXWELL RECREATION CENTER TO LEARN HOW TO SWIM. COUNCILMAN PHILLIPS. THERE WERE NO SIDEWALKS ON THAT STREET THEN AND THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS ON THAT STREET NOW. BREATHE THOSE. COTTON SEEDS OR WHATEVER. COMING OUT OF THE TEXTILE. YOU KNOW, I HAD AN UNCLE THAT DIED. FROM THOSE SAME FUMES COMING OUT. SO AS WE PAINT THIS PICTURE ABOUT HISTORY LET'S POINT IT CORRECTLY. I HEARD. MR ROEDER SAY THAT MCKINNEY KIND OF ENDED THAT FINCH PARK I PASSED TO THE ST MARK MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH FOUNDED IN 18 79. IT WAS AT 507 TIGHTER STREET. NEXT DEFENSE PART. WE HAVE BEEN AT THAT CORNER OF ELM AND WILCOX FOR 30 YEARS, THE COTTON MEAL HAS BEEN A GREAT NEIGHBOR. THEY'VE BEEN A GREAT NEIGHBOR.

BUT THIS PROJECT IS AN OVER BILL. FOR THAT LOCATION. YES IT IS AN APARTMENT COMPLEX, BUT IT IS A APARTMENT COMPLEX AND MULTI FAMILY, HOWEVER, YOU WANT TO ADDRESS IT ON STEROIDS. THE TRAFFIC NOW ON M STREET. FROM ABOUT THREE O'CLOCK. YOU GOT PEOPLE THAT'S COMING OUT FOR AIRPORT ROAD. COMING FROM ENCORE WIRE. THEY ARE MAKING A U TURN ON AM TO GO BACK BECAUSE THEY CANNOT GET OUT TO HOW WE FIVE OR FOR EM. SO HI. IT'S IN THE NEIGHBORS. THEY'RE GONNA LOVE THESE APARTMENTS WHO WANTS TO WALK OUT OF THEIR HOME. AND LOOK AT SEVEN STORIES. THEY WON'T EVEN BE ABLE TO SEE THE NEW CITY HALL. FROM THEIR HOUSE. SO I AM A POST TO THIS SITE PLAN. HOPE THAT THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD LISTEN TO THE STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS AND NOT APPROVE THIS. LIKE I SAID, COTTON, MILK AND GREAT NEIGHBORS. BUT WHAT WE PROPOSED HERE GOES PAST THE COTTON MILL. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, SIR. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE

[02:00:04]

TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? SAYING THAT ENTERTAIN A MOTION AND CLOSE THE PUPPET. I'M SORRY, MR BRADFORD. I NEVER FEEL FULL OUT OF CARD AFTER WOULD BE GREAT. GOOD EVENING, DEBORAH BRADFORD.

UH, ASSISTANT PASTOR, NEW JERUSALEM BAPTIST CHURCH, 14 15 ANTHONY STREET. AH, I'VE HEARD A LOT THIS EVENING. VERY THANKFUL TO MARK FARRELL. BUT WE HAVE MET. UM. TWO WAS A PART OF THE INITIAL MEETING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ALONG WITH BETH AND SEVERAL OTHER LEADERS HERE.

GREAT RESPECT TO PASTOR WILDLY. THE HISTORY OF ST MARK. UH, IN A NUTSHELL. I APPRECIATE THE FACT UM THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS CONSIDERED. THE DESIRES OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WERE DISCUSSED. UM AT THIS TIME, I MUST ALSO AGREE. WITH PASTOR WATLEY. WHILE I LOVE ALL OF THE IDEAS THAT WERE PRESENTED THE POTENTIAL I'M WITH GREAT RESPECT TO ALL OF THAT. MY HUSBAND AND I FELT THAT IT'S TOO MUCH AND TOO SMALL OF A SPACE. SO WE WOULD STILL LIKE TO SEE THOSE TYPES OF THINGS CARRIED OUT. BUT MAYBE IN A DIFFERENT METHOD. A DIFFERENT WAY. SO WE HAVE PARISHIONERS WHO LIVE IN THE AREA AS WELL. SO WE WOULD LIKE TO BE OPPOSED AT THIS TIME. AND AGAIN, UM WITH GREAT RESPECT TO THE HISTORY TO EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN DONE THE RESEARCH OH, WE ACTUALLY HAD THE IDEA ABOUT THE DOMINOES. THE POTENTIAL OF CULTURE WAS EXCITING. BUT AGAIN OUR FINAL DECISION IS THAT IT'S TOO MUCH IN TOO SMALL OF A SPACE AT THIS TIME. AND WITH RESPECT TO COUNSEL AND EVERYONE HERE. WHAT CAN WE DO? CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION THAT WE CAN STILL COST SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN WITH THE FOOD, DESERT AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WAS EXPRESSED BUT NOT THIS WAY. THANK YOU. DEBORAH. ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE ATOM.

NOT ENTERTAIN A MOTION AND CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING. I MIGHT COMMOTION WITH CLOSED PUBLIC AREAS. SECOND CAST YOUR VOTES. DISCUSSION. JUSTIN, COULD I LEAVE LOOKING TO ME? I CAN START IT OFF. I'M HAPPY FOR HIM OFF. SO YES, I'VE KNOWN TERRY FOR OVER 10 YEARS SINCE I CAME TO MCKINNEY, HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PROPERTIES I VISITED BECAUSE IT'S A FASCINATING BUILDING TO LOOK AT IT AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT WAS INSIDE. I THINK TERRY IS TOURED ME AROUND IT PROBABLY ABOUT 20 TIMES OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS. TO SHOW ME WHAT'S CHANGED AND WHAT'S GOING ON. AND. TO ME. EVERY TIME YOU WALK INTO IT, YOU CAN'T HELP BUT KIND OF I STARTED THINKING ABOUT WHAT'S POSSIBLE THERE. UM, WHAT YOU WOULD DO WITH THAT SPACE? IN THE FRONT OR, YOU KNOW.

APPRECIATE WHAT TERRY HAS DONE WITH IT. UM AND THEN. YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO STEP BACK FROM THAT AND THINK ABOUT HOW DO YOU MAKE THAT POSSIBLE? HOW DO YOU HOW DO YOU BRING A BOUTIQUE HOTEL? INTO INTO THAT SPACE. HOW DO YOU BRING A RESTAURANT INTO THAT SPACE? HOW DO YOU ACTIVATE? THE COMMUNITY SPACE THAT'S TO THE SOUTH OF IT. UM SO FIRST THING YOU DO IS YOU AT LEAST BEST TO BETH BACK AND HER SISTER, AMY. SECOND THING YOU DO IS YOU GET MARK AND JESSICA TO COOK SOME FOOD. THERE REGULARLY. BUT YOU NEED PEOPLE. AND IT'S THAT. JUXTAPOSITION OF HEIGHT AND DENSITY. BUT YOU NEED UM AND. I GUESS, FROM MY STANDPOINT, WHEN I LOOK AT THIS, I THINK THAT THERE ARE VALUES THAT ARE BROUGHT FROM THAT. THERE'S VALUE THAT IS BROUGHT FROM THAT. THERE IS MAKING THE COTTON MILL AND WHAT IT CAN BE FEASIBLE. I THINK IT IS BRINGING ABOUT THE RESOURCES THAT IT WOULD DENSITY AND PEOPLE WILL PROVIDE. I THINK YOU'RE DOING IN A PLACE THAT DOESN'T PUT US NECESSARILY AT RISK FOR DISPLACEMENT OR OTHER FACTORS. YOU'RE DOING IT IN A PLACE THAT WE'VE ALL AGREED. KIND OF WARRANT THIS. WE HAVE A YOU KNOW, IT'S A SPECIAL DESIGNATION IN OUR TOWN CENTER STUDY. WE KNOW THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING SPECIAL. AND SO WE JUST START TO DIFFER ON WHAT THAT NEEDS TO BE. IS IT FOUR STORIES? IS IT FIVE STORIES? SEVEN STORIES. AND. FOR ME WHEN I START THINKING OF WHAT ARE THE WHAT ARE THE COSTS OF THAT? OF

[02:05:03]

GOING TO SEVEN STORIES OF GOING BEYOND WHAT HAS BEEN SET IN THE PAST. UM. MY FIRST AND FOREMOST IS TRAFFIC. I'D I AGREE WITH PASTOR WILDLY. ELM STREET IS GOT TOO MANY PEOPLE ON IT. AND I, UM . SO YOU KNOW THE TRAFFIC STUDIES THAT WE'VE DONE THE NECESSITY TO GET FOWLER OUT TO THE SOUTH. WILL HELP MITIGATE THAT MCMACKIN IS GOING TO HURT WHEN IT CAN'T TURN LEFT. BUT HMM . THAT IS FIRST AND FOREMOST TO ME. MY BIGGEST CONCERN WITH. THE DENSITY THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, AND SO I CAN'T BREAK THAT DOWN AND SAY, DO I WANT ANY OF IT? OR NONE OF IT. BECAUSE.

PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE ENTITLEMENTS TODAY THAT PROPERTY IS ENTITLED FOR FOUR STORIES. UM I THINK I REMEMBER SOMEBODY SAY IT'S REASONABLE THAT IT WOULD BE FIVE STORIES, BUT IT'S ENTITLED FOR SOME LEVEL OF DENSITY TODAY. SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF DENSITY THAT THE OWNERS ARE ENTITLED TUESDAY AND WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR? AND WE'RE ULTIMATELY TALKING ABOUT. I THINK GARY SAID IT ABOUT 300 UNITS, GARY SOME SOME QUANTIFIABLE NUMBER OF UNITS, SOME QUANTIFIABLE NUMBER OF CARS. SO WHAT? WHAT DOES THAT? WHAT'S THE COST OF THAT THE TRAFFIC COST OF THAT? UM AND. THERE WAS A OUTWEIGH THE VALUE THAT THAT'S GOING TO COME FROM IT AND I. ULTIMATELY DON'T THINK IT IT DOES. I THINK I THINK THAT THIS IS A WAY TO BRING ABOUT VALUE TO THIS SITE. I THINK IT IS A GOOD THING FOR THIS AREA.

AND FOR ME WHEN I LOOK AT IT TO ISSUES OF HEIGHT AND TRAFFIC IF WE CAN SOLVE TRAFFIC I GUESS HEIGHTS TO ME ISN'T AS CONCERNING SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE SAW TRAFFIC IN THIS AND I TRUST THAT. GARY AND THE TRAFFIC STUDY WILL DO THAT AND TRUST THAT THE SOUTHERN EXIT ONTO FOWLER WILL DO THAT. BECAUSE WE DO NEED RELIEF OFF OF ELM. FOR THIS. BUT IN TERMS OF.

COMPARING THE VALUE THAT IT BRINGS VERSUS THE COST. I THINK I THINK IT IS A GOOD SIDE. GOOD GOOD DECISION TO MAKE ROOM IN FAVOR OF IT. I WILL SAY ONE THING. WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT HISTORY AND I THINK IT IS. I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ALLUDE ALLUDED TO IT LIKE THIS. THIS WAS THE LOCATION WHERE WE HAD WHAT WE KNOW. I LIKE TO CALL A LIVE WORK PLAY SIDE. WE HAD PLACES TO LIVE IN PLACES TO WORK AND THE ORIGINAL, UM I NEED A MAXWELL. COMMUNITY CENTER WAS THE ORIGINAL COTTON MILL. FACILITY IT WAS OWNED BY THE COTTON MILL. I BELIEVE, AND THEN IT WAS GRANTED TO THE CITY. LATER ON, BUT THE COTTON MILL IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY ULTIMATELY ESTABLISHED HERE WAS KIND OF ITS OWN LITTLE WORKING COMMUNITY AND WHAT CHANDLER SAID. AS FAR AS LIKE BRINGING THAT FORWARD TO THE. MODERN TIME TO 2023. I THINK THIS IS THIS TYPE OF PRODUCT THAT WE NEED TO ATTRACT PEOPLE TO ATTRACT. ARE YOU INTO THIS AREA? AND SO I'M IN FAVOR OF IT. UM I'M ALSO IN FAVOR OF IT. UM. I WAS KIND OF WOWED BY THE PRESENTATION BEFORE I GOT HERE. I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW. HOW I WAS GONNA COME OUT OF THIS. UM BUT THE PRESENTATION THE AMOUNT OF TIME YOU SPENT TALKING TO THE NEIGHBORS BEING TRANSPARENT. GETTING THEIR OPINIONS GETTING THERE. LET IT GETTING THE VALUES THAT THEY HAVE ON THAT SIDE OF TOWN. YOU DID A PHENOMENAL JOB.

I LIKE THE PRODUCT. MIKE JUSTIN. MR BALLARD. I HAVE CONCERN OVER TRAFFIC. BUT I ALSO HAVE FAITH AND POWER ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT THAT THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THAT. UM. I JUST REALLY THINK THIS IS A CATALYST PROJECT. WE HAVE ONE WITH THE COURTHOUSE WITH THE CITY HALL. AND TUBS.

THIS IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN BETWEEN THOSE TWO. THOSE ARE TWO CATALYST PROJECTS ON THE EAST SIDE. AND SO I'M IN FAVOR. I DON'T WANT TO REPEAT EVERYTHING EVERYONE SAID, BUT YOU KNOW IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT NUMBERS ARE NUMBERS RIGHT, AND IF THE

[02:10:01]

DEVELOPERS CAN MAKE THE NUMBERS WORK, THEY CAN BUILD SOMETHING. IF THEY CAN'T THEY WON'T IN THE REALITY HERE IS THAT I REALLY BELIEVE IS THAT EITHER THEY COULD THEY WILL DO THE PODIUM PARKING THEY WILL DIG PARKING, WHICH THEY WON'T DO BECAUSE THE MONEY AND SO THEY CAN'T GET THE DENSITY THEY NEED. YES THEY COULD GO AND BUILD A FOUR STORY APARTMENT BUILDING HERE RIGHT NOW, WITH WITH WITH REP PARKING, LIKE IN PHASE ONE, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE DENSITY. THEY NEED TO MAKE THAT PROFITABLE. THE OTHER THING THAT I'LL SAY IS THAT IN MY TIME IN MCKINNEY, VERY FEW PEOPLE ARE SUCH LOVING STEWARDS OF THEIR PROPERTY IS THE CASEY FAMILY. MY OLDEST DAUGHTER GOT MARRIED THERE SEVEN YEARS AGO, AND IT'S GOT GOT NOTHING BUT BETTER AND BETTER, AND TERRY HAS BEEN CRITICIZED A LITTLE BIT, MAYBE TERRY, BUT YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE BECAUSE YOU YOU IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU CARE TOO MUCH SOMETIMES, RIGHT? IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE NUMBERS AREN'T THERE FOR YOU. YOU'VE GOT A VISION FOR IT. SO I HAVE FAITH IN THE CASEY FAMILY THAT THEY REALLY BELIEVE THIS IS COMMENSURATE WITH THE VISION. THE OTHER THING COMES DOWN TO IS THE MAIN IN THE DISTRICT, AND THAT'S JUSTIN. JUSTIN IS A MAGNIFICENT STEWARD OF THIS DISTRICT, AND SO I HAVE TO LEAN ON HIM. THE LAST THING IS, I'LL SAY IS THAT WHAT THE DENSITY PROVIDES? AS YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT MR THIBODEAU, I THINK LEFT. FORGIVE ME IF YOU'RE STILL HERE, SIR. BUT THERE YOU ARE, SIR, BUT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AMENITIES THAT'S BEEN BURNED MY SADDLE FOR YEARS AND YEARS ON THE ON THE EAST SIDE. WE DON'T HAVE THE AMENITIES. BUT THE FACT IS, WE DON'T HAVE THE DENSITY. WE DON'T HAVE THE POPULATION TO DO IT AND IT'S HARD TO FIND THE SPOTS TO DO IT. YOU KNOW, I I'VE BEEN AROUND THE SIDE ALL OVER IT, AND IT'S NOT UNCOMMON TO SEE REALLY BIG LOTS WITH REALLY SMALL HOUSES ON THEM, AND YOU DON'T SEE THAT IN THE WEST SIDE, RIGHT? WE SEE BIG HOUSES, BUT THEY'RE TYPICALLY ON LOTS THAT THEY'RE SQUEEZING THOSE THINGS IN. IT'S RARE TO FIND THE YOU KNOW THE HUGE LOT THAT WE SEE THERE ON THE SIDE WHEN THESE THINGS WERE DONE. SO IN ORDER TO GET THE GROCERY IN ORDER TO GET THESE THINGS, WE'VE SIMPLY GOT TO HAVE THE ECONOMICS THERE, AND , UM I DON'T LOVE THE HEIGHT. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET AROUND IT EITHER. I HAVE 100% FAITH THAT I HAVE THE TRAFFIC IS GOING TO BE SOLVED. OR IT'S NOT. IF IT'S NOT THEY GONNA BUILD IT. SO THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. SO IRONICALLY, I LIVE YOU KNOW IN THE WEST SIDE OF MCKINNEY, BUT I'M A DISTRICT ONE RESIDENT. AND IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN WE MOVED IN, IN 2020 OR IN OUR NEW HOUSE. WE MOVED BEHIND BAYLOR HOSPITAL. NOW BAYLOR HOSPITAL IS A SEVEN STORY. HOSPITAL AND IT SITS ON TOP OF A HILL. SO IT ACTUALLY LOOKS. IT LOOKS TALLER THAN SEVEN STORIES OF EVERY JOB. I THEY SEE OVER 20,000 PROBABLY MORE THAN 2014 NUMBERS. 24,000 EMERGENCY VISITS 2400 IN PATIENT VISITS. THEY HAVE 600 PHYSICIANS. AND OVER FOUR ABOUT 44 4500 STAFF MEMBERS. IT CREATES A TRAFFIC NIGHTMARE BETWEEN ELLA ON LAKE FOREST OF ELDORADO AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT LAKE FOREST AND 3 80. THEN YOU HAVE JUST THE NEXT EXIT. YOU HAVE HARDENING 3 80, WHICH IS COSTCO. AND SO I KNOW ALL ABOUT TRAFFIC. BUT I ALSO KNOW WHEN WE MOVED THERE AND WE LOOKED ACROSS THE STREET FROM BAYLOR HOSPITAL. THERE WAS NOTHING THERE. AND AS OUR COMMUNITY STARTED BUILDING UP, AND AS YOU KNOW, BAYLOR STARTED FILLED IN. WE GOT ALL TYPES OF RETAIL NOW AND NOW YOU DRIVE DOWN 3 80. IT IS JUST A FLUENT WITH JUST DEVELOPMENT.

AND I LOOK AT THIS SITE AND I STAY THE SAME THING. IT'S JUST YOU GOTTA START SOMEWHERE. I MEAN, IT'S YOU KNOW, IT'S ALWAYS YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW ME BEING ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WHEN I FIRST GOT ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOARD BACK IN 2017. IT WAS ALWAYS LET'S WAIT AND SEE. AND THEN WE TOOK. WE CHANGED THEIR MINDSET SAID NO, LET'S GET AGGRESSIVE.

LET'S LET'S LET'S NOT WAIT AND SEE. LET'S GO BUY SOME LAND. LET'S LET'S YOU KNOW, LET'S GO ACTIVELY LOOK AT DEVELOPERS TO COME INTO OUR COMMUNITY. WHAT I SEE HERE IS A PROJECT. EVEN YOU KNOW, AS JENNIFER STATED YET OUTSIDE OF THE HEIGHT IT'S A GOOD PROJECT. SO IF THE HEIGHT IS THE ONLY THING THAT'S JUST STANDING IN THE WAY I YOU KNOW, AS A PERSON THAT LIVES BEHIND THE HOSPITAL, AND THAT'S MY BACKYARD. WHEN I LOOK AT MY BACKYARD, I SEE A HUGE MONSTROSITY OF A BUILDING. BUT IT DOESN'T AFFECT ME AND I AND I JUST EMBRACED IT. I THINK PEOPLE WOULD EMBRACE THIS SITE ALSO, SO I'M I'M I'M FOR IT. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. I DON'T REMEMBER WHEN WE HAD A VERY SMALL MEETING WITH STAFF TO JUST INTRODUCED THIS IDEA, AND I'VE GOT TO BE HONEST, I THINK WE ENTERED THAT MEETING IN 10 MINUTES LAUGHED, WALKED OUT BECAUSE THE IDEA OF SEVEN STORIES DOWNTOWN FOR ME WAS INCONCEIVABLE, UM, HAVING NOW SAT THROUGH THE PRESENTATION . THERE'S STILL STILL HATE THE HEIGHT. UM I HATE THE FACT THAT WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THE PUBLIC SPACE BECOMES AVAILABLE. I HATE THAT. WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF AN INVESTMENT WE'RE GOING TO MAKE FROM THE CDC STANDPOINT FROM THE STANDPOINT FOR THE PUBLIC SPACE IN THE

[02:15:03]

OFFICE SPACE, I'M NOT SURE IF EVEN THE OFFICE SPACES NECESSARY OVER THERE. I MEAN, I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT. UM, YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT SPEAKER OFFICE SPACE IN MCKINNEY ALL THE TIME. MY QUESTION IS, IS THIS REALLY VIABLE PLACE? TO PLACE YOU KNOW, OFFICE EXPECT OFFICE BUILDING. I WOULD MUCH PREFER TO SEE MORE RETAIL THERE INSTEAD OF HAVING OFFICE SPACE. BUT YOU KNOW, SO I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT. I DO THINK THAT, UM YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN TERMS OF YOU BUILD PHASE ONE THAT WILL TELL YOU A LOT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS ALONG THE WAY THAT THAT TELLS YOU A LOT ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT OFFICE SPACE IS GOING TO BE VIABLE THERE. DO WE MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AS WE GO ALONG? UM YOU KNOW, THE ONE THING THAT I DO, AND I'VE I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EAST MCKINNEY HAS NEVER FORGOTTEN. THAT DOWNTOWN STAYS AS VIABLE AS POSSIBLE, AND WHAT'S REALLY GREAT FOR DOWNTOWN IS HAVING RESIDENTIAL RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY THAT CAN SUPPORT THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS HERE DOWNTOWN DURING THE WEEK WHEN PEOPLE ARE NOT TOURING MCKINNEY, SO IT DOES HELP IN THAT ASPECT, BUT IT ALSO HELPS TO HAVE SOME MORE RETAIL ON THE EAST SIDE, SO I LOVE THE IDEA. OF HAVING SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY COOL AND FINE AND REALLY, IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT FROM ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE SEEING IN THIS CITY. SO IT OFFERS. YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN TERMS OF THE PUBLIC SPACE THAT YOU KIND OF PROPOSED.

I LOVE THE IDEA BECAUSE I THINK IT WILL BE UNIQUE FROM FROM WEST MCKINNEY. UM, JUST HATE THE HYPE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY ABOUT IT. I HATE THE HEIGHT. UM I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT LOWER . I MEAN, IF IT WERE EVEN FIVE STORIES, I DROVE OVER EVEN TODAY AND LOOKED AT NEWSOME NEWS.

NEWSOM'S FOUR STORIES SO YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT THAT GOING ONE MORE STORY UP. NOT A BIG DEAL, BUT SEVEN STORIES REALLY DOES HIT YOU QUITE SIGNIFICANTLY. SO I GOT TO TELL YOU, I'M STILL YOU KNOW, I WRESTLE WITH THAT THE ONE OTHER POSITIVE THAT WE HAS KIND OF BEEN MENTIONED ALREADY IS THE FOOD DESERT ISSUE. AND I DO THINK THAT THIS KIND OF SOLVES THAT PROBLEM. I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSION OVER THE YEARS ABOUT HOW TO ENTICE A GROCER TO COME TO THE AREA, AND IF YOU JUST DON'T HAVE THE POPULATION, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO COME. WITH THIS INSTANTLY DOES PRODUCES THE POPULATION. SO YOU DO SERVE YOU KNOW YOU YOU PROVIDE A SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY THERE THAT IS MUCH NEEDED. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A GROCER THERE. IT'S DESPERATELY NEEDED. UM SO IT DOES SOLVE THAT PROBLEM. BUT JUST THE ONLY THING THAT BOTHERS ME ABOUT THIS PROJECT IS JUST A HYPE. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE. I'LL SAY IN MY MATERIAL IS THE LEGISLATIVE TEXT SIMPLY SAYS STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL OF THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN DUE TO CONCERNS WITH THE PROPOSED INCREASE IN BUILDING HEIGHTS. I WOULD SUGGEST TO MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS IF YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE BUILDING HEIGHTS VOTE AGAINST THE PROJECT. THAT FIXES YOUR PROBLEM. I HAVE TO SIDE WITH ARE TOO GOOD PASTORS WHO ARE HERE BECAUSE, AND GARY GRAHAM, WHO WAS KIND ENOUGH TO COME DOWN HERE AND WHEN HE SAYS THERE'S GOING TO BE 9000 ADDITIONAL VEHICLES IN THE AREA. I'M CONCERNED FOR YOUR BUSINESS, MR CASEY CONCERNED FOR YOUR BUSINESS. AND THAT IS BECAUSE YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO CHOKE YOURSELF TO DEATH. THERE IS GOING TO BE SO MANY VEHICLES IN THAT AREA THAT CANNOT GET IN AND OUT AND NAVIGATED. YOU'VE HEARD WHAT THE TRAFFIC IS LIKE ON ELM STREET. PEOPLE ARE SIMPLY GOING TO AVOID THE COTTON MILL. BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE TRAFFIC THAT COMES WITH IT, AND IT'S GOING TO BE THERE 24 HOURS A DAY BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE LIVING THERE. I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM ANYBODY INDICATING THAT ANYONE WHO LIVES ANYWHERE NEAR THE COTTON MILL CAN AFFORD LIVING IN THESE TYPES OF APARTMENTS. FOR THOSE REASONS, I CANNOT SUPPORT IT.

AND I WANT YOU TO BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR. THANK YOU. SO I ENTERED THE MEETING. THINK DRE , YOU ARE NOT WEARING THAT MEETING TOGETHER, PROBABLY AND I ALSO DISMISSED IT RIGHT OFF THE BAT. UM NO TACO TRUCKS AND MY MEETING. UM. AND I KNEW, THOUGH, THAT I WOULD LEAN HEAVILY. I WANTED TO HEAR AND PUT A LOT OF PUT A LOT OF CREDENCE INTO WHAT JUSTIN HAD TO SAY BEING HIS DISTRICT. AND. YOU KNOW, I HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR YOU, PASTOR WORLEY AND DO YOU, DEBORAH? BUT I THINK WHERE I HAVE TO FALL TODAY IS UM. DENSITY IS THE IS THE INGREDIENT FOR EVERYTHING

[02:20:07]

ELSE TO TRANSPIRE AND HAPPEN LIKE THE COMMENT THAT YOU MADE, THOUGH. DOCTOR FELT IS THE NOT HAVING REALLY WE'RE NOT HAVING ASSURANCES ON THAT PUBLIC SPACE. IS A LITTLE DIFFICULT FORM. IT'S DIFFICULT FOR ME. I ALSO THOUGH, DO UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THE WITHOUT THE DENSITY OF THOSE SPACES ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT POSSIBLE. SO I GET THE TIMELINE THAT THEY'RE HAVING OPERATED UNDER. I ALSO AGREE WITH YOU ON THE OFFICE. WHETHER THE OFFICE IS OR ISN'T SOMETHING THAT WOULD COME TO FRUITION. I THINK THAT IF THE DENSITY HAPPENS IN THE DEVELOPMENT HAPPENS, AND IF IT'S SUCCESSFUL, AND I THINK THAT, AS WAS STATED UM THEY'RE GONNA BUILD PHASE ONE AND PHASE ONE IS NOT SUCCESSFUL, AND THEY REALIZED NOBODY IS GOING TO WANT TO COME AND BE A PIONEER. NO ONE'S GOING TO WANT TO BE. MATT HAMILTON'S OPENED THE FIRST RESTAURANT ON EAST SIDE OF HIGHWAY FIVE LIKE HE DID, AND WE'RE SO GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL HE DID, BECAUSE HE'S BEEN A PROOF OF CONCEPT. BUT IF THEY ARE WRONG, AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN HERE, THEN THEN WE'RE NOT GOING TO PROBABLY SEE THE OTHER THREE PHASES AND NONE OF THE OTHER THINGS HAPPEN. BUT IF THEY'RE SUCCESSFUL THAT'S WHAT DRIVES THE MARKET. WE CAN ALL TALK ABOUT WHAT WE WANT TO SEE THERE, AND WE CAN ALL TALK ABOUT WHAT WE HOPE TO SEE THERE. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE MARKET WILL BE THE MARKET AND THE MARKET WILL DRIVE EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS THERE, AND I DO KNOW THAT NOTHING WILL HAPPEN THERE IF WE DON'T HAVE THE DENSITY TO SUPPORT IT, UM SO I DON'T LIKE THE HEIGHT EITHER. UM QUITE SURE LOVE THE DEVELOPER TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT IS THAT DELTA TO TAKE THE BUILDING SUB GRADE IN THE PARKING BUT I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT FIVE YEARS FROM NOW. I'M GONNA DRIVE DOWN THERE. WE'RE LOOKING AT IN A VACUUM RIGHT NOW. WE'RE LOOKING AT THE COTTON MILL WHERE ALL OUR DISCUSSIONS ARE THE COTTON MILL AND THIS ONE PROJECT WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO 20 YEARS FROM NOW WHEN ALL THE REST HAS BEEN DEVELOPED AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE AND HOW THAT WORKS INTO THE FABRIC OF DOWNTOWN AND THAT AREA, SO I THINK WHAT I MIGHT WHAT I AM OPPOSED TO TODAY . VERY POSSIBLY, AND PROBABLY WILL IN 10 YEARS COME BY AND LOOK AT EVERYTHING ELSE THAT'S DEVELOPED AND THINK I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAS EVEN CONCERNED ABOUT THE SEVEN STORY MOST PROBABLY IF DEVELOPMENT TRENDS HAPPEN, AS THEY HAVE HISTORICALLY IN AREAS LIKE THIS , WHETHER WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SAN ANTONIO AND THE AND I'M DRAWING A BLANK ON THE NAME OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT, THE PEARL AND SOME OF THOSE OTHER AREAS. UM SO I IT'S A TOUGH ONE FOR ME, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THE DENSITY AND THE HEARTBEAT OF PEOPLE LIVING THERE. WILL MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE. YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT SUPPORT SUPPORTING ALL THE SMALL BUSINESSES THAT ARE THERE. PUT IN A PUT IN A RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT THAT SUPPORTS ALL THOSE BUSINESSES. THAT'S THAT'S THE GREATEST THING WE CAN DO IN HELPING THE EAST SIDE, SO THAT'S THAT'S WHERE I'M GONNA FALL. EVERYBODY. I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THIS ITEM SECOND. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. OCEAN DOES NOT PASS. AS THIS MOTION WOULD HAVE REQUIRED A SUPERMAJORITY. WHICH MEANS THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE 1/6. IS THAT I THOUGHT WE NEED A SUPER IS THAT NOT CORRECT? THAT WAS ON THE OTHER ONE. SO SORRY FOR SOME REASON THOUGHT THAT WELL, I DIDN'T I GIVE YOU A HEART HEART ATTACK. WELL THAT'S THE PAYMENTS TALKING. UM I'M SORRY, BOB, I LITERALLY THOUGHT WE NEEDED A SUPERMAJORITY. UM TOOK FIVE YEARS OFF MY LIFE I DIDN'T HAVE THAT MEANS YOU GOT SIX MONTHS LEFT. YEAH. THAT'S TERRIBLE MOTION PASSES. UM. I WILL. I WILL SAY THAT WE WILL BE WE DON'T HAVE ASSURANCES OTHER THAN THE WORDS THAT WERE SPOKEN TODAY THAT WHAT WILL HAPPEN YOU HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE GET UP AND SUPPORT OF THE PROJECT, AND I KNOW THAT EVEN THOSE THAT WERE AGAINST THE PROJECT SUPPORTED THOUGH THESE OTHER COMPONENTS YOU KNOW THEY HAD ISSUES WITH PIPE OR WHATNOT , OR TRAFFIC AGAIN. TRAFFIC IF IT'S NOT MITIGATED WON'T HAPPEN, BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE GOT UP AND SPOKE AND SUPPORT. UM BECAUSE THEY COUNTED ON YOUR WORDS THAT WERE SPOKEN TODAY AND OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS THAT THOSE SPACES WOULD BE DEVELOPED THAT COMMUNITY SPACE WOULD BE DEVELOPED AND GOD HELP YOU IF IT DOESN'T MEAN PEOPLE COUNTED ON YOU AND OUR WORD IS OUR WORD IS ALL WE HAVE, UM, AND A LOT OF LOT OF CASES, ESPECIALLY SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHERE WE CAN'T TIE THAT DOWN. BUT I KNOW.

SOME OF YOU SITTING THERE, AND I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT YOU WILL. SO I DIDN'T MEAN THAT AS A LIKE I

[02:25:02]

DIDN'T. I DIDN'T EXPECT IT WOULD HAPPEN, BUT YOUR SUPPORT WAS BASED ON THAT. WHAT'S THAT? REMOVING ON FAITH HERE WE ARE MOVING ON FAITH AND THE WORDS THAT WERE SPOKEN TODAY IN THIS COMMUNITY IS COUNTING ON THAT SO FREEZE! DON'T LET HIM DOWN. UM EXCEED THE EXPECTATION. 230001 S

[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Specific Use Permit Request to Allow for a Utility Substation (Oncor Bloomdale Switch Station), Located Approximately 1,300 Feet East of U.S. 75 and North of Shawnee Drive, and Accompanying Ordinance (REQUEST TO TABLE)]

U P FIVE CONDUCTED PUBLIC HEARINGS. CONCERN ACT ON ESPECIALLY SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUEST TO ALLOW FOR A UTILITY SUBSTATION LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 1300 FT. EAST OF US 75, NORTH OF SHAWNEE, DRIVING THE COMPANY AN ORDINANCE THERE HAS BEEN A REQUEST TO TABLE THIS, UM I THINK WE HAVE WE UNDERSTAND THE REASONING BEHIND THAT. UM. NO IT IS A PUBLIC HEARING FIRST. I WANT TO KNOW. IS THERE CONSENSUS TO TABLE THIS? ISSUE. IS THERE ANYONE THAT IS THERE ANYONE THAT CAME TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? OKAY, SO. GENERALLY IF YOU WANT TO SAY, I THINK WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR, BUT MAYBE YOU'LL GIVE US A QUICK UPDATE FOR PUBLIC. ABSOLUTELY AND I DID JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT THE AFGHAN IS CONTINUING TO WORK WITH STAFF ON SOME ALTERNATE LAYOUTS FOR THE SITE, WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE REQUESTING THE TABLING STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF THAT YOUR STAFF REPORT DOES NOTE TABLING TO AUGUST THE FIRST THE AUGUST 1ST MEETING. HOWEVER WE DO ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE TABLED UNTIL AUGUST. THE 15TH WE THINK THAT ADDITIONAL TIME WILL ALLOW THE APPLICANT TO GET SOME UPDATED PLANS TO US AND QUALITY REVIEW BEFORE BRINGING IT BACK, SO I WANTED TO JUST MAKE THAT NOISE. NOTE THAT STAFF REPORT SAYS AUGUST 1ST BUT REALLY AUGUST 15TH IS WHAT STEPS WOULD RECOMMEND, OKAY. SO THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IF WE ARE GOING TO TABLE IT, BUT IF YOU COME DOWN CERTAINLY WANT TO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK IF YOU'D LIKE TO. HI CITY COUNCIL WILL BE REALLY, REALLY QUICK. UM, I AM BASICALLY, I JUST WANTED TO REITERATE THE COMMUNITY'S POSITION ON THE CURRENTLY PROPOSED LOCATION, AND IT'S AT ITS CURRENT PROXIMITY TO THE SCHOOL AND ON THE CURRENT SIDE OF THE TREE LINE. WE THINK THAT MOVING IN NORTHWEST AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL BEYOND THE TREE LINE IS COMPLETELY VIABLE OPTION WITHIN THE FLOODPLAIN. UM. WHAT THEIR ONE POINT I WANTED TO HIT ON THAT I DON'T THINK WAS TOUCHED ON A LOT DURING LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING WAS THAT, UM WE ARE OPPOSED TO A REROUTING. BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT'S KIND OF SORT OF UM. THAT'S JUST KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD. WE THINK THAT'S GOING TO CAUSE ADDITIONAL ISSUES RUNNING THE POWER LINES.

PARALLEL TO BLOOMINGDALE. UM AND IT WON'T ONLY AFFECT OUR COMMUNITY NEGATIVELY, BUT POSSIBLY OTHERS. UM SO IN TERMS OF THE ROUTING, WE DON'T REALLY WANT THAT TO CHANGE. WE JUST WANT THE LOCATION OF THE ACTUAL SWITCHING SUBSTATION TO CHANGE AND WE BELIEVE NORTHWEST IS VIABLE. UM AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THE SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF PECAN RIDGE FOR THE MOST PART.

WE ARE ALL ON BOARD AND EXCITED TO SEE WHAT A POSITIVE OUTCOME THAT IS GOOD FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED. UM, WE'RE NOT FIGHTING THIS. WE YOU KNOW, TABLING. IT MEANS WE GET SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE IS HAPPY WITH. WE'RE GOOD. UM AND WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE MCKINNEY CONTINUES TO EXPAND. WE KNOW THIS IS A VIABLE PART OF VERY, UM INDIAN NEEDED PART OF THAT SO THAT'S THAT'S ALL. RIGHT? INQUIRE OF JENNIFER . MR HAUSER MOVING THAT PAD TO THE NORTHWEST IS ONE OF THE OPTIONS CURRENTLY BEING EXPLORED. YES, SIR. IT IS. YES, THANK YOU. ALRIGHT SO IF I COULD HAVE A MOTION TO WE WILL CONTINUE. THE PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED THE ITEM TO AUGUST 15TH. SO MOVED. MOTION THAT WE CONTINUE THIS ITEM UNTIL THE COUNCIL MEETING ON AUGUST 15TH PUSHED THE BUTTON SO I DON'T KNOW IF I MESSED UP, EMPRESS.

WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE S U P REQUEST, PLANNING AND ZONING ALSO CONSIDERED THE ITEM AND IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL AS WELL. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. I DO KNOW THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A QUESTION. LATER AT THE LATTER PART OF LAST WEEK , ASKING HOW MANY OTHER SELF STORAGE FACILITIES WERE WITHIN A MILE OF THIS PROPOSED SITE? STAFF DID RUN THAT EVALUATION. WE DO HAVE A MAP HERE, BUT WE DO NOTE THAT ONLY ONE OTHER FACILITY IS WITHIN A MILE OF THIS PROPOSED FACILITY, AND THAT IS LOCATED IN PROSPER JUST NORTHWEST OF HERE, SO I'VE GOT A MAP IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT, BUT WITHIN A MILE. THERE IS ONLY ONE OTHER EXISTING FACILITY. IS IT TALL ENOUGH TO SUFFICIENTLY BLOCK THE VIEW OF THE MANSIONS OF PROSPER? 45 FT. SIR COULD WE GO TALK? WE GO. SEVEN STORIES. SEVEN STORIES.

THANK YOU. QUESTIONS FOR JENNIFER IS THE APPLICANT HERE BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE. GOOD

[02:35:10]

EVENING CITY COUNCIL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. APPRECIATE THE HIGH COMMENT. IF YOU LET US WE WILL. YEAH MY NAME IS TRENT ROCKEFELLER. OH, 17 01 NEW OASIS STREET. AWESOME TEXAS. UM, I HAVE A QUICK PRESENTATION JUST TO SHOW YOU THE QUALITY OF OUR FACILITIES. THESE ARE INSTANT INSTITUTIONAL GRADE CLASS EPISODE. THESE WILL BE THE NICEST BUILDING IN THE AREA NEAR TERM. TO THE MANSIONS OF PROSPER . THAT'S NOT SAYING YEAH. SO CURRENTLY THESE ARE OUR SEVEN OPERATING FACILITIES. WE ARE VERY HANDS ON WITH OUR FACILITIES. WE DO HAVE A THIRD PARTY MANAGER, EXTRA SPACE STORAGE. THEY ARE PUBLICLY TRADED B BUT IT SEEMS EVERY WEEK SOMEBODY IN OUR OFFICES AT AT THE FACILITY FIXING SOMETHING. OR YOU KNOW, TALKING WITH THE MANAGER. SO OFTEN TIMES WE DO INTERACT WITH CUSTOMERS AS WELL. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FACADE OR ANYTHING HIGH, JUST LET ME KNOW. I'LL STOP. THESE ARE A FEW PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE UNDERDEVELOPMENT. AS YOU CAN TELL. SELENA AND MELISSA ARE KIND OF THE CLOSER TO THIS AREA.

WE'VE BEEN LOOKING IN MCKINNEY FOR THREE YEARS, AND I THINK THIS IS THE PERFECT SIDE WERE TUCKED AWAY FROM RESIDENTIAL I MEAN ACROSS TO THE NORTH OF BLOOM, DALE IS FUTURE COMMERCIAL. TO OUR WEST IS ALSO FUTURE COMMERCIAL AND OUR EAST IS THE LOVELY MANSIONS AND PROSPER. HERE'S OUR SITE PLAN. WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS IS IT IS A WHILE IT IS A FOUR STORY BUILDING. DUE TO THE TOPO ON THE SIDE. IT FALLS TO THE SOUTH. WE HAVE MADE IT TO WHERE THE BUILDING WILL APPEAR FROM BLOOM BLOOM DALE TO BE THREE STORIES. BUT ON THE SOUTH SIDE THAT FACES THE CREEK AND NOBODY WILL EVER SEE IT WILL APPEAR APPEAR TO BE POOR. SO I AM NOT SURE IF YOU HAVE BEEN INFORMED, BUT THERE IS A REQUIREMENT FROM THE CITY FOR US TO EXPAND BLOOMINGDALE ROAD.

WE ARE 100% CAPABLE AND WILLING TO PUT THE COSTS FOR THAT ROAD. WE HAD TALKED WITH THE CITY AND PLANNING STAFF. EVERYBODY'S INGREDIENTS THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER AND EXPAND BLOOM. DALE. UH MY CIVIL ENGINEER JONATHAN KIRBY, WITH KIM LEE HORN IS ALSO HERE AS WELL AT THE ALBANY CIVIL RELATED QUESTIONS. BUT OTHERWISE I BELIEVE THAT'S MY LAST SLIDE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT.

THEY ARE ACTUALLY LOOKING TO EXPAND THEIR OUTDOOR AREA. ALONG AND I BELIEVE I DON'T HAVE TO WONDER ALONG THE SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY, SO THIS IS EXISTING TODAY ON AN S U P AND THEY ARE LOOKING WITH THIS REQUEST TO EXPAND THE AREA TO HIT ALL ALONG THE HARD CORNER, THE WITH THE EXISTING SITE OR THE EXISTING OUTDOOR ENTERTAINMENT SPACE AND THE PROPOSED EXPANSION, IT WOULD BE EQUAL TO ABOUT 6600 SQUARE FEET OF OUTDOOR ENTERTAINMENT SPACE ON THE PROPOSED SITE. STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE REQUEST AGAINST RCMP CRITERIA VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE FOUND WITH THE ORIGINAL REQUEST LAST YEAR. THIS AREA IS HIGH AREA OF REDEVELOPMENT. IT IS SURROUNDED PREDOMINANTLY BY
