[CALL TO ORDER]
MCKINNIE'S. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. UH WORK SESSION TRAINING SERIES. OF TUESDAY,[Planning and Zoning Commission Training Series]
OCTOBER 10 2023, WE WILL TURN THE PODIUM OVER TO CAITLIN STRICKLAND. ARE YOU RUNNING? THIS WOULD BE RUNNING THIS, SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH CHAIRMAN, SO I WANTED TO JUST START US OFF. SO THIS IS GOING TO BE OUR FIRST OF THE MANY SERIES AND I SAY MANY. THAT'S ONLY ABOUT FIVE OR SIX. BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE A PNC COMMISSION TRAINING SERIES FOR 2023 INTO 2024. WE WON'T HAVE ONE IN DECEMBER. SO WE WILL DO THIS MONTH WILL DO NOVEMBER AND THEN WE'LL JUMP BACK IN JANUARY WITH DIFFERENT TOPICS AND I WILL LET YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HEAR FROM ME THE ENTIRE TIME. WE HAVE OTHER STAFF MEMBERS THAT WILL BE COVERING DIFFERENT TOPICS SUCH AS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ZONING BASICS. THIS IS JUST GOING TO BE OUR STARTER, WHICH IS GOING TO BE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF A PLANNING COMMISSION, ESPECIALLY PLANNING COMMISSION IN CITY OF MCKINNEY. SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED. AND IF THERE'S ANY POINT YOU GUYS HAVE QUESTIONS OR YOU WANT TO JUMP IN. PLEASE DON'T HESITATE. I LOVE QUESTIONS SO. SO TO START US OFF. I KNOW THE FIRST ONE DEFINITELY HAS QUITE A BIT OF TEXT, BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE THE PRIMARY FUNCTIONS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE SEEING AS A PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.THIS IS GOING TO BE ZONING RECOMMENDATIONS, WHICH DOES COME FROM TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE TO 11. THAT'S THE AUTHORITY IN WHICH THE STATE GRANTS US THE ABILITY TO HAVE ZONING WITHIN CITIES AND SO PLANNING AND ZONING. Y'ALL WILL BE THE RECOMMENDATION BODY FOR ALL OF ZONING RECOMMENDATIONS, AND THEN CITY COUNCIL IS GOING TO BE THAT FINAL APPROVAL. SPECIFIC USE PERMITS IS A ZONING PERMIT. SOMETIMES IT CAN BE KIND OF LIKE ZONING LIGHT. AND SO IT'S GOING TO BE WHENEVER THERE'S CERTAIN TYPES OF LAND USES THAT ARE NOT PERMITTED BY RIGHT AND ARE GOING TO NEED THAT SPECIAL CONSIDERATION THAT Y'ALL AND CITY COUNCIL NEED TO BE TAKING FOR A WIDER RANGE OF LAND USES WITHIN A ZONING DISTRICT. AND SO THAT'S GOING TO BE YOUR CAR WASHES THAT'S GOING TO BE VEHICLE REPAIR. IT'S GOING TO BE STUFF THAT WE'RE DEFINITELY GONNA WANT YOU ALL TO TAKE ANOTHER ANOTHER LOOK AT WHEN IT COMES TO SPECIFIC USE PERMITS ANOTHER ONE THAT Y'ALL ARE THE RECOMMENDATION BODY. AND THEN CITY COUNCIL. BE THE FINAL APPROVAL. UH NEXT UP IS SITE PLAN. DESIGN EXCEPTIONS. THIS IS WHERE YOU ALL ARE GOING TO BE THE FINAL APPROVAL BODY OF THIS SECTION, SO DESIGN EXCEPTIONS THAT'S GOING TO BE ANY TIME SOMEONE IS WANTING TO DEVIATE FROM OUR CODE, SO THAT IS GOING TO BE IF SOMEBODY NEEDS TO CHANGE THE LAYOUT OF THE DEVELOPMENT, SUCH AS THEY WANT TO CHANGE THE TYPE OF SCREENING THEY WANT TO UPDATE HAVE A REDUCTION TO PARKING OR THEY'RE WANTING TO HAVE A LANDSCAPE BUFFER CHANGED OR MAYBE A TREE REDUCTION. THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE WHENEVER YOU'RE GETTING SITE PLAN DESIGN EXCEPTIONS IN FRONT OF YOU. YOU'LL ALSO SEE DESIGN EXCEPTIONS FOR THE MCKINNEY TOWN CENTER. ALSO KNOWN WILL COMMONLY REFER TO IT AS M. T C. THAT'S GOING TO BE JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING IN THE DOWNTOWN. AND IF YOU'RE DEVELOPING IN THE DOWNTOWN, YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE A DESIGN EXCEPTION JUST BECAUSE THERE'S QUITE A FEW FORM BASED REQUIREMENTS THAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO HIT. FINALLY IT'S GOING TO BE THE ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS. THAT'S GOING TO BE ANY TIME THAT THE CITY IS GOING TO BE INITIATING CHANGES TO CHAPTER 1 50 AK UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, AND SO THIS IS GOING TO BE ANYTHING FOR ZONING SUBDIVISION, TREE PRESERVATION SIGNS, LIGHTING FENCES OR STORM WATER. SO ANY TIME THAT WE ARE MAKING A LARGE CHANGE THAT'S GOING TO BE A FULL ON ITS ORDINANCE AMENDMENT FOR Y'ALL.
AGAIN YOU ALL WOULD BE THE RECOMMENDATION BODY AND NOT THE FINAL APPROVAL THAT'S GOING TO AGAIN GO TO CITY COUNCIL. SO THAT WAS A LOT OF THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT YOU'LL GET TO DO.
BUT WHAT ARE YOUR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES AS A PLANNING AND ZONING SO THE STATE OF TEXAS UNDER 2 11.07 DOES DICTATE THAT THE CITY OF MCKINNEY IS AUTHORIZED TO APPOINT A ZONING COMMISSION, WHICH IS WHY WE ARE HERE. SO IT'S A RECOMMENDATION BODY FOR ALL OUR ZONING DISTRICTS, ESPECIALLY TO HELP MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S APPROPRIATE ZONING REGULATIONS FOR EACH OF THOSE DISTRICTS. UM ZONING REGULATIONS OR TO JUST MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE CREATION OF SAFE, EFFICIENT AND ORDERLY DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE CITY. AND SO THAT IS DEFINITELY WHY HAVING THIS RECOMMENDATION BODY IS SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE ARE GETTING THAT TWO SETS OF EYES ON IT. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE A LOOK FROM A RECOMMENDATION STANDPOINT, AND THE CITY COUNCIL WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE A LOOK FROM A FINAL APPROVAL STANDPOINT. UH ADDITIONALLY, AS MOST OF YOU ALL ARE WELL AWARE, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION IS REQUIRED TO ADHERE AND COMPLY WITH OUR OPEN MEETINGS ACT, SO THAT'S TO ENSURE THAT EVERYTHING THAT THE CITY IS DOING IS TRANSPARENT, THAT IT'S OPEN AND THAT WE ARE BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO THE PUBLIC SO THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE PRO POST CHANGES DIFFERENT KIND OF ZONING CHANGES. DESIGN EXCEPTIONS. UM AND SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE KEEPING ALL DISCUSSIONS ABOUT PUBLIC BUSINESS. AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. SO UM,
[00:05:01]
I GUESS WITH ALL OF THAT TOSSED AT YOU IN ME KIND OF THROWING IT AT YOU. IT'S HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR THAT KIND OF RESPONSIBILITY AND THE FIRST ONE? I KNOW IT'S KIND OF A WARM, FUZZY ONE. BUT IT'S WORKING TOGETHER AS A TEAM , AND ESPECIALLY WITH YOUR FELLOW COMMISSION MEMBERS, AND IT'S WORKING WITH STAFF STAFF IS HERE TO DEFINITELY ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THEY ACTUALLY PREPARE BEFORE EVERY MEETING WITH LIKE ANY KIND OF QUESTION. YOU MAY ASK. SO YOU SHOULD. YOU SHOULD TRY THEM. THEY'RE THEY'RE READY FOR YOU ALL HAVE A TYPICAL DAY THAT YOU GET TOGETHER TO GET PREPPED FOR THE MEETINGS LIKE HIS MONDAY PREP DAY. TUESDAY'S PREP DAY. SO LIKE RIGHT BEFORE THE MEETINGS THAT WE'RE PREPPING THE WEEK BEFORE WRITING STAFF REPORTS GETTING EVERYTHING READY , AND THEN THE TUESDAY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR HOUR AND A HALF, DEPENDING ON THE AGENDA, WE ARE, THEY'RE JUST ASKING EACH OTHER QUESTIONS. DO YOU PREFER TO HAVE PHONE CALLS? EMAILS TEXT MESSAGES? ALL OF THE ABOVE. UH EMAILS. PHONE CALLS WOULD DEFINITELY BE FINE. YOU CAN DEFINITELY SEND THEM TO BE AND JENNIFER AND WE CAN DEFINITELY WELCOME TO THE CORRECT PLANNER SO THAT YOU GUYS CAN MAKE SURE THAT YOU GUYS ARE GETTING THE INFORMATION YOU NEED AHEAD OF TIME TO BE ABLE TO MAKE. APPROPRIATE DECISIONS. AND I WOULD SAY, UM, CAN YOU HEAR ME? OKAY I MEAN, YOU'RE WELCOME TO ASK QUESTIONS AT ANY TIME. SO, OF COURSE DURING THE MEETING, ASK YOUR QUESTIONS. BUT IF YOU'RE REVIEWING THE PACKET, AND YOU'VE GOT A QUESTION THAT POPS UP, WE LOVE TO GET THE QUESTIONS AHEAD OF TIME BECAUSE IT GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SURE IF THERE'S HOMEWORK OR FOLLOW UP THAT WE NEED TO DO. WE'RE PREPARED WHEN WE GET TO THE MEETING THAT EVENING, SO ABSOLUTELY. WE WELCOME THAT. AND I FEEL LIKE YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE US TO ECHO WHATEVER QUESTIONS. MAYBE WE ASKED HIM PRIVATE AND PUBLIC IN SOME CASES AS WELL.THAT WOULD BE PREFERRED. YES. OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU. ALONG WITH WORKING AS A TEAM. IT'S DEFINITELY WORKING HARD TO TRY AND DETERMINE WHAT IS WITHIN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE PUBLIC.
WHENEVER Y'ALL ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO DETERMINE WHAT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IS. Y'ALL HAVE ALL BEEN APPOINTED BY CITY COUNCIL BECAUSE THEY ALL BELIEVE THAT YOU GUYS ARE THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO BE UP HERE FOR THE PUBLIC INTEREST, SO WE'RE ALWAYS EXCITED TO GET TO WORK WITH YOU ALL BUT DEFINITELY SOMETHING FOR YOU GUYS TO KEEP FRONT AND CENTER. UM BE PREPARED TO LEARN AND ASK QUESTIONS, KINDS OF TIES BACK TO THE FIRST ONE LIKE WE DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING AND WE CAN'T IMAGINE THAT YOU ALL KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CODE AS WELL. SO IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE ASKING US THOSE QUESTIONS. AH AND ADDITIONALLY JUST MAKING SURE THAT YOU'RE WANTING TO LISTEN TO ALL THE ISSUES LIKE IF SOMEONE COMES IN, ESPECIALLY FROM A PUBLIC COMMENT STANDPOINT, FROM AN APPLICANT STANDPOINT, UM, THAT YOU'RE READY TO LISTEN AND BE ABLE TO REVIEW FROM ALL DIFFERENT SIDES.
AND THEN FINALLY, IT'S JUST MAKING SURE THAT YOU'RE READING YOUR PACKET CAREFULLY THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT ANY DECISION BASED OFF OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE APPLICABLE ZONING ORDINANCES THAT WILL ALL BE NOTED WITHIN YOUR STAFF REPORTS ANY UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES TO THE PROPERTY AND, OF COURSE, OUR CITY BY LAWS. SO. WITH THAT IN MIND, YOU ALSO HAVE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES. SO THE PLANNING RESOURCE MAP WHICH WHENEVER Y'ALL HAVE STARTED AS COMMISSION MEMBERS, WE HAVE GIVEN YOU GUYS DIFFERENT LINKS AND I'M HAPPY TO SEND THOSE AGAIN. PLANNING RESOURCE MAP IS GREAT BECAUSE IT SHOWS ALL THE DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS FOR UM, IT SHOWS ALL OF THE PLANS THAT ARE CURRENTLY BEING REVIEWED. IT SHOWS ALL THE ZONING IT SHOWS THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN ISSUES EVERYTHING YOU COULD POSSIBLY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY. AND IT'S A LIKE WE USE IT ON THE REGULAR TO REVIEW PROJECTS.
ADDITIONALLY, THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE OUR THAT'S CHAPTER 1 50 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES. AND THESE ARE ALL THE DIFFERENT ARTICLES THAT YOU COULD DEFINITELY BE REVIEWING.
Y'ALL WILL NORMALLY LIVE IN ARTICLE TWO AND THREE, WHICH IS ZONING AND SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS. ARI HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTE PEACH, AND SHE'S PRINTED OUT THE PRESENTATION FOR ME. SORRY ABOUT IT BEING A LITTLE BIT LATE TO Y'ALL. FINALLY THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SO YOU WILL GET DETAILED, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFORMATION WITH EACH OF YOUR STAFF REPORTS.
THERE'S ALSO A GIANT DOCUMENT THAT YOU CAN DEFINITELY REVIEW ON OUR WEBSITE, AND I'M ALSO HAPPY TO SEND YOU A LINK TO THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BREAKS OUT THE CITY BASED OFF OF THE VISION THAT THE COMMUNITY DETERMINED THAT THEY WANTED THE CITY TO GO AND WE BASE ALL OF OUR RECOMMENDATIONS TOWARDS THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLANS. SINCE THAT IS OUR GUIDING DOCUMENT.
ADDITIONALLY YOUR AGENDA PACK IT'S GOING TO BE CHOCK FULL OF INFORMATION THAT YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO SEE. I PROMISE WE DON'T JUST ADD INFORMATION IN THERE JUST TO MAKE SURE THE PACKET LOOKS BIG. ALL OF THAT INFORMATION IS RELEVANT. AND WE'RE WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GUYS HAVE EVERYTHING YOU MIGHT NEED TO BE ABLE TO MAKE. UM THE BEST POSSIBLE CHOICE THAT YOU NEED TO AND THEN FINALLY. STAFF IS GOING TO BE ONE OF YOUR BEST RESOURCES. I WON'T CALL THEM MATERIALS, BUT THEY WILL DEFINITELY BE THERE TO BE ABLE TO HELP YOU WITH ANY QUESTIONS, CONCERNS OR IF YOU ARE WANTING TO JUST FIGURE OUT JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE. SO WHENEVER I GO LOOK AT MY CREDIT SCORE USUALLY IS BROKEN DOWN BY THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES THAT MAKE UP WITH THE TOTAL SCORE IS IF YOU LOOK AT ALL THE DIFFERENT RESOURCES Y'ALL ARE CONSIDERING WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT A ZONING CASE, KIND OF HOW DO YOU OUTLINE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AGAINST
[00:10:02]
PRESIDENT WE'VE SET WITH OTHER ZONING CASES SIMILAR TO THIS VERSUS YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT KINDS OF VARIANCES THAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR WHETHER IT BE A LANDSCAPING VERSUS AN ENTIRE SITE PLAN. HOW DO YOU ALL KIND OF WAY ALL THOSE THINGS IN SO THAT WE CAN KIND OF ECHO IN THE WAY WE'RE CONSIDERING THOSE THINGS AS WELL? I KNOW THAT'S A BIG QUESTION. BUT THAT IS A BIG QUESTION. SO I THINK AN EASY ANSWER FOR ME IS GOING TO BE AN UNFORTUNATE ANSWER FOR YOU IS THAT EACH CASE IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE TAKEN SEPARATELY. AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE HAVE TO DO WITH EACH AND EVERY RECOMMENDATION. YOU WILL SEE SOME INFORMATION THAT LOOKS SIMILAR ON EVERY CASE, BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT EACH AND EVERYONE FOR THOSE EXACT THINGS. WE'RE LOOKING AT IT FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. WE'RE LOOKING AT IT BASED OFF OF PRECEDENT THAT'S BEING SET IN THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE PREVIOUSLY. IF THERE'S ANY POLICIES OR GUIDE, UM, GUIDING INSTRUMENTS THAT MAYBE CITY COUNCIL HAS GIVEN US WE'LL BE LOOKING AT THAT AS WELL. UM AND WE'LL DEFINITELY NOTE THAT IN THE STAFF REPORT, BUT IT DEFINITELY IT REALLY JUST DEPENDS ON THE CASE. EACH ONE IS DIFFERENT, AND IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE DIFFERENT INFORMATION FOR EACH ONE. YOU PUT A LOT OF TIME INTO YOUR STAFF REPORT AS WELL TO KIND OF OUTLINE THE CONCERNS THAT YOU MAY HAVE OR THE THINGS THAT YOU UNDERSTAND OR ACCEPTABLE WHEN IT COMES TO SPECIFIC VARIANCES. IS THAT REALLY ALL DE FACTO KIND OF BOILED DOWN EVERYTHING INTO ONE SPOT LOCATION TO LOOK FOR THINGS? YES YOU WILL SEE AN ITEM SUMMARY UP AT THE TOP. THAT JUST KIND OF OUTLINES, QUICK SNIP OF WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT, AND THEN IT GOES INTO AND WE WILL GO INTO WHAT THE AGENDA LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE BIT LATER, BUT IF YOU GO INTO THE PROJECT INFORMATION, WE WILL ALWAYS BREAK OUT WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR AND HOW STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS BASED OFF OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND THE DIFFERENT FACTORS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. YOU'LL NEVER GIVE US PERMISSION TO ASK QUESTIONS AGAIN. SORRY MM. ALWAYS WANT QUESTIONS. SO PERFECT. SO WHAT GOVERNS OWNING REZONING ZONING JUST SO YOU'LL SEE ZONING SLASH REZONING THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE PRESENTATION, SO ZONING IS GOING TO BE WHENEVER WE'RE SEEING A PROPERTY COME INTO THE CITY THAT'S NEVER BEEN ZONED BEFORE REZONING IS GOING TO BE IF THE PROPERTY IS PREVIOUSLY PINS OWNED, AND WE ARE NOW CHANGING THE ZONING, WHICH IS FAIRLY COMMON IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. SO YOU'RE GOING TO SEE PROBABLY SAY 95% GOING TO BE A REZONING CASE VERSUS AN ACTUAL ZONING CASE. SO UM, WITH THAT IN MIND WHAT GOVERNS IT. IT'S GOING TO BE CHAPTER 2 11 AGAIN. THAT'S GOING TO BE THE MUNICIPAL ZONING AUTHORITY THAT THE STATE GRANTS TO THE CITIES AND THIS GRANTS MUNICIPALITIES THE AUTHORITY TO ADOPT ZONING ORDINANCES, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE FOR LAND AND BUILDINGS WITHIN THEIR BOUNDARIES. SO THAT'S GONNA BE ZONING THAT HELPS US DO THE SITE PLANNING. UM AND ALL THE INFORMATION ABOVE AND SO BEFORE ADOPTING A ZONING ORDINANCE. WE ACTUALLY HOLD TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS. Y'ALL ARE ONE OF THEM. SO WITH THAT PUBLIC HEARING AT PLANNING AND ZONING AND THEN ONE AT CITY COUNCIL, THIS GIVES THE RESIDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME IN TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE DIFFERENT QUESTIONS THAT THEY MAY HAVE, ESPECIALLY SINCE SOMETIMES THE SIGNS WILL GO UP AND THEY'RE NOT QUITE SURE WHAT'S HAPPENING. THEY WILL GET THAT NOTIFICATION AND SO THE DIFFERENT PUBLIC NOTIFICATION THAT WE HAVE FOR THESE PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR PLANNING AND ZONING , WE SEND POSTCARDS OUT IN A 200 FT BUFFER AROUND THE PROJECT SO THAT EVERYBODY THAT IS ESSENTIALLY CONTIGUOUS WILL GET NOTIFIED OF THE DEVELOPMENT. THAT IS HAPPENING OR THE REZONING CASE. UM, SITE PLANS. WILL GET NOTICES SO YOU'LL GET IT FOR ZONING. YOU'LL GET IT FOR SITE PLANS. YOU'LL GET IT FOR S UPS. WE ALSO REQUIRE ZONING NOTIFICATIONS, SCIENCE FOR ZONING AND S U P CASES, THEY WILL NOT BE UP FOR SITE PLANS, AND SO THAT HAS TO GO UP. PRIOR TO THE MEETING ACTUALLY HAPPENING, SO THEY THEY ARE UP IN ENOUGH TIME FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT. WE HAVE ACTUALLY UPDATED OUR ZONING SCIENCE SO THAT OUR EMAIL IS ON. THERE ARE FUN NUMBERS ON THEIR WEBSITE IS ON THERE. ANYWAY YOU COULD POSSIBLY CONTACT US. I CAN'T PUT MY CELL PHONE ON THERE. JENNIFER SAYS THAT I CAN'T BUT ANYWAY THAT YOU COULD CONTACT US IS ON THAT SIGN. SO WE'RE HOPING THOSE UPDATES WILL DEFINITELY HELP PEOPLE ENGAGE WITH THIS MARK, BECAUSE WE'RE ALWAYS EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO HELP PEOPLE ANSWER THE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT DEVELOPMENTS HAPPENING IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY BECAUSE THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE, BUT WE LOVE TO DO FINALLY FOR CITY COUNCIL, THERE'S ACTUALLY GOING TO BE A LEGAL NOTICE OF THE PUBLIC NOTIFICATION. SO ONCE WE HAVE SET THE PLANNING AND ZONING DATE , WE WILL HAVE THE CITY COUNCIL DATE NOTIFIED AS WELL. AND SO WE WILL DO THE POSTCARDS AND THEN WE WILL ALSO DO THE LEGAL NOTICE IN A NEWSPAPER OF GENERAL CIRCULATION. AND ONE THING I WANTED TO TOUCH ON WITH THE REQUIRED NOTICING IS THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT THE CITY OF MCKINNEY DETERMINES ON ITS OWN.THAT IS A STATE LAW REQUIREMENTS SO WE OFTEN HEAR RESIDENTS COME OUT AND TALK ABOUT HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THE CITY'S NOTIFICATION PROCESSES. UM WE ARE COMPLYING WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF STATE LAW. UM AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE THAT NECESSARILY LIBERTY OR A DESIRE TO GO AND DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN ONE STATE LAW REQUIRES SO THAT P O NOTICE ZONING SIGNS ON THE
[00:15:04]
PROPERTY AND THE LEGAL NOTICES IN COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW, AND THAT IS VERY CONSISTENT WITH OUR SISTER CITIES AROUND NORTH TEXAS. PERFECT SO THANK YOU, JENNIFER. SO WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO SEE IN YOUR AGENDA PACKET? UH YOU'RE OF COURSE, GOING TO SEE OUR STAFF REPORT. SO THAT'S GONNA BE EVERYTHING DETAILING THE PLAN. IN CASE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE DIFFERENT STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFORMATION A LITTLE BREAKDOWN OF THE FISCAL ANALYSIS. IF YOU'RE INTO NUMBERS, AND ALSO ANY PREVIOUS, UH ACTIONS THAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED. IT WILL BE NOTED IN THAT STAFF REPORT. SO ADDITIONALLY YOU'LL GET A LOCATION MAP AND AERIAL EXHIBIT THAT KIND OF WILL SHOW YOU AN OVERLAY. AND THEN IT WILL ALSO SHOW YOU THE JUST THE FULL PICTURE OF LIKE WHAT DOES THE SITE LOOK LIKE? NOW WHAT IS AROUND IT CURRENTLY JUST SO YOU CAN GET A FEEL OF LIKE WHAT IS HAPPENING. ADDITIONALLY COMING BACK TO WHAT I SAID EARLIER. IF YOU LOOK AT THE PLANNING RESOURCE MAP, YOU CAN ALSO SEE EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THAT AREA AS WELL. IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO AH, YOU'LL ALSO BE ABLE TO SEE THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE MAP THAT'S GOING TO HAVE THE DISTRICT. IT'S GOING TO THE PLACE TYPE, AND IT'S GOING TO BREAK DOWN ALL OF THE DIFFERENT INFORMATION THAT IS SPECIFIC TO THAT AREA TO THAT DISTRICT TO THAT PLACE TIME. ADDITIONALLY YOU'LL HAVE THE LETTER OF INTENT LETTER OF INTENT TO BE DETAILING THE PROJECT FROM THE APPLICANTS.SO THAT IS GOING TO BE THEIR WORDS SAYING WHAT THEY WANT TO DO ON THE SITE. HOW THEY WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT IT TO US. YOU'LL SEE WITH ZONING CASES. THEY'RE GOING TO BE MUCH LONGER BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO BE DETAILING EXACTLY WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO WITH THE ZONING AND REZONING CASE, ADDITIONALLY, FOR SITE PLANS, YOU WILL SEE IT. HAVE THE DESIGN EXCEPTIONS NOTED AS WELL.
SO ANY TIME YOU WANT TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE DESIGN EXCEPTION. ALWAYS CHECK OUT THE LETTER OF HIS HEAD BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE THE APPLICANT WILL NOTE IT. FINALLY YOU'LL ALSO GET THE PROPOSED EXHIBITS AND THE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. SO EXHIBITS ARE GOING TO BE YOUR ZONING EXHIBIT. YOUR SITE PLANS , LANDSCAPE PLANS OR EVEN IF ASSAD PLAN IF YOU'RE COMING INTO THE MTC UH, MEETING FORMAT, SO WE ALL KNOW THAT BILL DOESN'T EXCEPTIONAL JOB AT MAKING SURE WE STAY ON TASK WITH OUR MEETING FORMAT, BUT JUST TO BREAK IT UP JUST A LITTLE BIT, AND I'LL GO QUICK BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO SIX. BUT WE HAVE OUR CONSENT. THIS IS GOING TO BE WHERE WE NORMALLY SEE MINUTES. THIS IS GOING TO BE FOR SITE PLANS THAT ONLY REQUIRE ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL OR ITEMS THAT JUST HAVE AN ADMINISTRATION THAT HAS A REQUIREMENT SIMILARLY WILL BE THE PLATTE CONSENT ITEMS, SO THIS IS GOING TO BE ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION THAT WE TAKE ON PLATTS PLOTS ARE SOMETHING THAT IF THEY MEET THEY MEET, AND SO THAT IS WHY IT'S CONSIDERED A PLAQUE CONSENT AND NOT GOING TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING OR A REGULAR MEETING AGENDA ITEM. REGULAR AGENDA IS GOING TO BE YOUR SITE PLAN. DESIGN EXCEPTIONS THAT'S GOING TO BE A REZONING CASES. THAT S UPS THAT THAT'S YOUR ORDINANCE, AMENDMENTS. AND FINALLY, PUBLIC COMMENTS. UH PUBLIC HEARINGS, OF COURSE, CAN HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS RELATED TO THE CASE. PUBLIC COMMENTS AT THE END ARE GOING TO BE FOR ANY TIME THAT THE PUBLIC WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT. ANY KIND OF INFORMATION THAT IS NOT QUITE ON THE AGENDA AND THEN FINALLY, INFORMATION SHARING THAT'S GOING TO BE WHERE YOU SEE JENNIFER'S DIRECTORS REPORT AND IT'S GOING TO BE ANY TIME THAT STAFF HAS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GUYS ARE SEEING AHEAD OF TIME. UM ZONING AND REZONING CASES. SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT Y'ALL HAD THE KIND OF A BIGGER BREAKDOWN OF START TO FINISH FOR ZONING AND REZONING CASES BECAUSE IT KIND OF SITS HERE AND YOU ALL KNOW IT GOES TO COUNSEL BUT KIND OF KIND OF THE LIFE OF A REZONING. YOU'LL GET MORE OF IT IN THE ZONING BREAKDOWN THAT COMES UP, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO BE ZONING AND REZONING CASE IS GOING TO BE SUBMITTED TO STAFF AND THEN IT MOVES ON INTO A REVIEW PROCESS THAT TAKES A FEW TIMES. NORMALLY ABOUT 2.5. JENNIFER AND I ACTUALLY PULLED ALL THE INFORMATION TO SEE THE DIFFERENT REVIEW TIMELINES. THE AVERAGE IS 2.5. UM AND THEN, FINALLY, ONCE THE REVIEW IS COMPLETE, THAT'S WHEN THE PUBLIC NOTICE GOES OUT. THAT'S WHENEVER WE START GENERATING THAT STAFF REPORT. UM FINALLY OR NEXT, IT GOES TO PUBLIC HEARING WHICH IS GOING TO BE HELD AT PNC. Y'ALL WILL TAKE ACTION ON THE ZONING AND REZONING THAT'S GOING TO BE IF YOU GUYS DECIDE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL, RECOMMEND DENIAL AND THEN IT THAT RECOMMENDATION IS FORWARD ON THE CITY COUNCIL, WHO WILL TAKE FINAL ACTION. OH, IN ALL OF YOUR STAFF REPORTS FOR ZONING CHANGES AND WITHIN THE U . D. C THERE IS ACTUALLY CRITERIA THAT'S NOTED ABOUT ANY TIME THAT WE ARE GETTING A ZONING CHANGE. THIS IS THE CRITERIA THAT HAS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ANY TIME. WE'RE EVALUATING HIS OWNING OR REZONING CHANGE, SO IT'S GOING TO BE IF USES ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IT'S GOING TO BE. DOES IT HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE CHARACTER OF SURROUNDING DISTRICTS OR SURROUNDING PROPERTIES? WHETHER THE USE IS PERMITTED IN A REQUESTED ZONING DISTRICT WITH THE RESULT AND OVER CONCENTRATION, WHETHER THE PROPOSED ZONING DISTRICT AND USE OF SUPPORT AND FURTHER COUNCIL STRATEGIC GOALS. THAT IS ALWAYS ON THE WALL OVER HERE AND THEN ANY OTHER SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MAY BE UNIQUE TO THE PROPERTY, WHICH HAS THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT YOU ALL WOULD HAVE NOTED IN YOUR
[00:20:02]
STAFF REPORT S UPS. THEY'RE GONNA FOLLOW THE SAME KIND OF FORMAT. WHERE CAN BE SUBMITTED TO STAFF STAFF IS GOING TO LOOK AT IT 2.5 TIMES THROUGH, THEN IT IS GOING TO GO TO COME BEFORE Y'ALL FOR A PUBLIC HEARING. ONCE YOU TAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION, IT'S OFF TO CITY COUNCIL FOR THAT FINAL APPROVAL, UNLIKE ZONING S UPS HAVE A VERY DETAILED SITE LAYOUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE SITE FEATURE REQUIREMENTS THAT THEY HAVE TO MEET. SO ZONING. IT'S JUST GOING TO BE THE BOUNDARY OF THE PROPERTY. S U. P S. YOU'RE GONNA SEE FIRE LANES. YOU'RE GONNA SEE PARKING. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ALL OF THE DIFFERENT SITE FEATURES SO SUVS ARE GONNA ARE GOING TO BE ONE THAT YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA TIME WHENEVER YOU'RE REVIEWING SIMILAR TO ZONING CHANGES S UPS HAVE THEIR OWN SPECIAL CRITERIA THAT YOU NEED TO BE REVIEWING ANY TIME THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BE TAKING A LOOK AT IT FOR APPROVAL. UM I'M GETTING DANGEROUSLY CLOSE, SO I WILL NOT READ THIS ENTIRE SLIDE TO Y'ALL . BUT IT'S VERY SIMILAR IN LOOKING AT COMPATIBILITY OF USE, IS MAKING SURE THAT THE SITE SPECIFICATIONS ARE MEETING MAKING SURE THAT IF WE NEED TO MEET THE CRITERIA THAT SET FORTH IN OUR USE DEFINITIONS THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT EVERYTHING THAT THE UDC OUTLINES FOR SGPS. UM ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS. THIS ONE IS GOING TO BE, UH, LITTLE MEATY SOMETIMES DEPENDS ON THE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT. SOMETIMES IT'S GOING TO BE JUST A FEW LINES THAT ARE CHANGING, AND THEN SOMETIMES WE ARE ADDING AN ENTIRE NEW ARTICLE FOR MAYBE TREE PRESERVATION, SO IT'S GONNA BE ITEMS THAT ARE DRAFTED PROPOSED BY STAFF LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENT INFORMATION AS IT IS COMPLETED, PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND THEN SAME PROCESS OF GOING TO CITY COUNCIL, UM, FOR COUNCIL TO TAKE THAT FINAL ACTION.POTENTIAL ARTICLES YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ARE GOING TO BE THAT ONE THROUGH NINE. THAT HAS THE DIFFERENT, UM, DIFFERENT TYPES THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE. AND LIKE I SAID, Y'ALL ARE REGULAR GONNA SEE TWO AND THREE IT WAS ACTUALLY GONNA NOTE, UM ARTICLES ONE THROUGH NINE OR WHAT ARE INCLUDED IN THAT MASTER UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE. BUT THE ONLY ARTICLES WITHIN THAT UTC THAT TECHNICALLY REQUIRE RECOMMENDATION BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ARE ARTICLES ONE TWO. FOUR AND FIVE. ALL OF THE OTHER ARTICLES WOULD I WOULD GO STRAIGHT TO CITY COUNCIL FOR ANY ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS THAT MIGHT BE PROPOSED. FINALLY IT'S GOING TO BE SITE PLAN DESIGN EXCEPTIONS WHERE YOU GUYS ARE THE FINAL APPROVAL BODY. SO SITE PLANS REVIEWED 2.5 TIMES THROUGH. IT'S GOING TO BE, UH, NOTICED. IT'S GOING TO COME BEFORE YOU ALL.
AND THEN ONCE THE PUBLIC HEARING IT, IT HAPPENS. THAT WILL BE THE TIME THAT YOU GUYS GET TO MAKE THE FINAL DECISION. UM AND TYPICALLY DESIGN EXCEPTIONS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IT'S GOING TO BE ARC STANDARDS FOR MTC. IT'S GOING TO BE SCREENING DEVICE MATERIAL. PRESIDENTIAL ADJACENCY BUFFERS PARKING STUDY REDUCTIONS RATIOS, LANDSCAPE BUFFERS, IT'S INSIDE OF OUR U D.
C WE VERY CAREFULLY OUTLINE WHERE YOU CAN ASK FOR DESIGN EXCEPTIONS. UM AND SO ANY TIME THAT THERE IS A QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN ASK FOR IT, IT'S AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE SECTION, IT'LL SAY IF YOU ARE ABLE TO ASK FOR IT. THIS IS DESIGN EXCEPTION. THIS IS WHAT YOU CAN ASK FOR, SO IT IS VERY SPECIFIC. FINALLY KIND OF WHAT HAPPENS AFTER Y'ALL ACT ON A DESIGN EXCEPTION BECAUSE I SOMETIMES Y'ALL WILL ACT AND IT'LL NEVER COME BACK TO YOU.
AND SO FIRST OFF IF YOU WILL TAKE ACTION TO APPROVE IT. STAFF TAKES CARE OF IT. AT THAT POINT, THEY GET THE PLAN STAMPED. THEY GET THE LETTER OUT TO THE APPLICANT AND THEN THEY ARE OFF TO THE NEXT STAGE IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. IF YOU ALL DENY THE DESIGN EXCEPTION, THERE'S A FEW ROUTES FOR THE APPLICANT TO BE ABLE TO. UM BE A LITTLE WORK THROUGH. THEY CAN EITHER CHANGE THEIR SITE PLAN TO MEET THE ZONING ORDINANCE, OR THEY CAN SUBMIT FOR AN APPEAL TO CITY COUNCIL. I'VE ONLY SEEN THIS ONCE. UM AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO SUBMIT A WRITTEN REQUEST BEFORE AND OF THEIR APPEAL WITHIN SEVEN CALENDAR DAYS THAT GOES TO JENNIFER AND THEN THE CITY COUNCIL. THEY CAN REVERSE OR THEY CAN AFFIRM WHAT Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY DECIDED. UM AND THEY CAN DO IT. HOLY THEY CAN DO IT. PARTLY IT REALLY JUST DEPENDS ON THE DISCRETION OF CITY COUNCIL. AND THEN FINALLY, WHAT HAPPENS WHENEVER Y'ALL RECOMMEND DENIAL OF A REZONING OR AN S? U P K SO THAT RECOMMENDATION LIKE ALL OF YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS? GETS NOTED IN THE STAFF REPORT. IT GETS TOLD OVER TO CITY COUNCIL, HOWEVER. IF YOU RECOMMEND DENIAL OF A ZONING, OR AN S U P CASE THAT ACTUALLY WILL RESULT IN A SUPERMAJORITY VOTE OF CITY COUNCIL, SO THAT MEANS SIX OUT OF SEVEN MEMBERS WILL HAVE TO VOTE. YES TO APPROVE THE ITEM, SO UM, IF YOU EVER HAVE KNOW THAT CITY COUNCIL IS DEFINITELY INTERESTED IN YOUR OPINION. THAT'S WHY THEY APPOINTED Y'ALL. I DIDN'T LEAVE YOU ALL MUCH TIME FOR ANY QUESTIONS, BUT I AM HAPPY FOR ANY OF THEM THAT YOU MAY HAVE. I HAVE ONE STILL OPERATING OUT OF
[00:25:05]
THE GRACE PERIOD FOR THE OLD CODE. NO WE ARE NO LONGER OPERATING UNDER THE GRACE PERIOD. EVERYBODY HAS TO UTILIZE THE UDC MOVING FORWARD UNLESS THEY SUBMITTED PRIOR IF IT'S AN OLDER PROJECT THAT'S STILL IN THE WORKS. NEAR THE QUESTIONS. ANYONE. CAITLIN THANK YOU. WE DO APPRECIATE IT. ONE NOTE IT. IT'S UM AND ERIC BROUGHT THIS UP. BUT YOU'RE REALLY GOOD THAT UM, WE SAID LIVE HERE THAT THE PNC MEMBERS CAN GO TO THE STAFF AND SAY, I HAVE A QUESTION. HELP ME UNDERSTAND THIS OR WHAT'S THE LOGIC BEHIND OR JUST GIVE ME MORE BACKGROUND ON ON A PARTICULAR ITEM? AND THAT'S A GREAT RESOURCE FOR US TO HAVE DEFINITELY WE'RE ALWAYS EXCITED TO HELP. NEWLY NOTED. WITH THAT IF YOU'RE HERE IN THE AUDIENCE AND WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS PLANNING AND ZONING REGARDING THIS ITEM, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM.
