[Consider/Discuss/Act on a Resolution Directing the City Manager to Request Grant Funding from the McKinney Economic Development Corporation and the McKinney Community Development Corporation for Planning and Design of the East Side of McKinney National Airport]

ITEM. ITEM 231072, WHICH IS CONSIDERING ACT ON A RESOLUTION DIRECTING CITY MANAGER TO REQUEST GRANT FUNDING FROM MCKINNEY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, MCKINNEY COMMUNITY ELEMENT CORPORATION FOR PLANNING AND DESIGN OF THE EAST SIDE OF MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS COME TO THE ATTENTION OF MEMBERS OF COUNCIL THAT THERE'S STILL QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ANSWERED AND INFORMATION. SHARED WITH THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND SOME MORE DIALOGUE BACK AND FORTH IN RELATION TO THAT ITEM, AND I BELIEVE AS SUCH, THERE IS A B A MOTION. SO I WANTED TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ACTUALLY TABLE THAT I DON'T JUST TO PROVIDE US A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME FOR CLARIFICATION. WE SPOKE ABOUT THIS IN THE WORK SESSION, BUT I DO THINK THAT WE DO NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB IN TERMS OF EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ON WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE AIRPORT AND OUR FUTURE PLANS BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN I FEEL LIKE THERE IS A DISCONNECT BETWEEN WHAT COUNSEL SEASONS OF VERY VALUABLE ASSET TO THE CITY. I DON'T THINK WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO RELAY THAT. VERY WELL. UM WE'VE GOTTEN SOME EMAILS BACK, AND I THINK THERE'S JUST A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE THE FUNDING IS COMING FROM FOR THIS, UM SO WE NEED TO TAKE SOME TIME AND REALLY, UH, DO A BETTER JOB OF EDUCATING BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD. AND I THINK WITH THE FUNDING IS COMING FROM BUT ALSO WHAT IT'S FOUR SPECIFICALLY. WE TABLE THIS INDEFINITELY TABLED THE MOTION TABLE AND DEFINITELY IS THERE A SECOND? I WILL SECOND PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. I DON'T HAVE IT YET, EITHER. DO YOU STILL IN WORK SESSION, OKAY. THANK YOU. YEAH WE GET CAUGHT UP RIGHT NOW. I'LL TAKE A JUST ALL IN FAVOR. SAY, AYE AYE OPPOSED.

[00:05:05]

LANGUAGE QUOTE AND OUR COMMERCIAL PASSENGER SERVICE. AND TO ASK YOU TO PUT AN ITEM.

IN A FUTURE ELECTION BALLAD. FOR AN ADVISORY VOTE FROM THE CITIZENS ON PRO OR CON TO PASSENGER SERVICE. I THINK THE PUBLIC NEEDS A CHANCE TO WEIGH IN ON THIS SUBJECT SPECIFICALLY.

I APPRECIATE WHAT IS HAPPENING AT THE AIRPORT WITH THE CORPORATE AVIATION. I COMMEND YOU ON THAT. I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT SUGARLOAF AIRPORT DOWN IN SOUTH TEXAS, THEY HAD PASSENGER SERVICE AT ONE POINT IN TIME, AND THEY REMOVED THAT, AND THEY NOW ONLY ADDRESS. CORPORATE AVIATION, AND IT IS A VERY, VERY SUCCESSFUL PROJECT. THANKS FOR YOUR VOTE TODAY ON REMOVING AND TACKLING THIS ITEM, I WELCOME LOOKING TO HEAR MORE ABOUT YOUR INTENTIONS OUT OF FUTURE DAY.

KENTUCKY LINE. FAIRVIEW TEXAS. I'M HERE AS A CITIZEN OF FAIRVIEW, KENTUCKY LANE AND HERITAGE RANCH. AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE. WE'RE IN THE FLIGHT PATH OF THE MCKINNEY AIRPORT NOW AS IT STANDS, AND BUT ALSO I'M HERE. ON BEHALF OF THE HER NATURAL SCIENCE MUSEUM. AND WHILE I'VE SANCTUARY THAT'S UNFAIR VIEW, THAT IS, UM, ALSO A VERY, UM PRECIOUS 289 ACRES OF WILDLIFE OF SANCTUARY, WETLANDS BLACK LINE PRAIRIE. WOODLANDS THAT I WOULD BE. I WOULD BE REMISS AND NOT, UM, STANDING HERE AND STANDING UP FOR THE HER MUSEUM. FOR WHATEVER MIGHT BE COMING DOWN THE PIKE. WHETHER IT IS THE CONCRETE RECYCLING PLANTS OR THE AIRPORT EXPANSION, ANYTHING THAT WOULD THAT MIGHT AFFECT OUR ENVIRONMENT AND THE WILDLIFE THERE. IS A GREAT CONCERN FOR ME AND A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT HER MUSEUM, SO I AM JUST ASKING, I GUESS TO MAKE THOSE CONSIDERATIONS OF THE ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION AND, UM, MAYBE COME OUT AND VISIT AND TALK TO US AT THE MUSEUM. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, BARBARA ISAACS.

GOOD EVENING. YES UM I'M ALSO A RESIDENT OF FAIRVIEW. I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING IS MY FIRST TIME HERE, BY THE WAY, AND WE ARE IN THE DIRECT FLIGHT PATH OF THE AIRCRAFT THAT TRAVEL OVER RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S BEEN YOU KNOW, VERY NOISY AND QUITE LOUD AT TIMES, AND MY CONCERN IS PUTTING THE BIGGER JETS UP THERE IN THE SKY ABOVE US WITH CAUSE

[00:10:04]

ADDITIONAL NOISE AND ALSO SAFETY FACTORS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE RESIDENTS IN THAT AREA. IN CASE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRCRAFT. UM. I ACTUALLY AM VERY WELL CONNECTED.

I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE IN COLLIN COUNTY AND THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND I'VE ASKED A LOT OF PEOPLE WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT THE AIRPORT AND I DON'T EVEN SAY WHAT MY THOUGHTS ARE. BUT I JUST SAY, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT MCKINNEY? I SAID, WHY DO WE NEED AN AIRPORT? MCKINNEY I MEAN, WE'VE GOT LOVE FIELD WE'VE GOT ADDISON AIRPORT DFW, AND THEY'RE ALL WITHIN 20 TO 30 MINUTES.

PROXIMITY. OF MCKINNEY, SO WE DON'T REALLY SEE A NEED TO EXPAND THIS AIRPORT. UM IF THERE WERE I DID TALK TO ONE GENTLEMAN THE OTHER DAY, AND HE'S NEW TO THE AREA, HE SAYS. IF WE WERE PUT IN A NEW AIRPORT, HE SAYS, I COULD SEE ONE UP, MAYBE TOWARDS SHERMAN FURTHER UP CLOSER TO THE BOARD OF THE TEXAS BORDER IN OKLAHOMA BORDER BUT DIDN'T SEE A NEED FOR IT HERE. SO MOST PEOPLE THAT I TALKED TO, IN FACT, 99% OTHER THAN THAT, ONE SAID THAT HE JUST DOESN'T SEE NO ONE SEES A NEED FOR IT. SO THE EXPANSION I DON'T THINK IT'S NECESSARY AND THANK YOU FOR TABLING THIS TONIGHT. THANK YOU. MIKE MADDEN. MIKE MADDEN. UM. THANKS FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK. MY QUESTION IS THAT THE LAST MEETING? MARRIAGE DRESS. MARY SAID THAT MR MADDEN YOUR ADDRESS . PLEASE. SIR, WHAT'S YOUR ADDRESS? IT'S ON MY CARD. I LIVE IN MCKINNEY. OLIVE IN MCKINNEY.

IT'S ON MY CARD AT YOUR LAST MEETING. YOU STATED THAT THE REASON PEOPLE VOTED DOWN TWO BOND ISSUES FOR THE AIRPORT. BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO PAY FOR IT IN THAT MANNER. I'M PRETTY SURE THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR IT IN ANY MANNER. SO I'M ASKING YOU GUYS, ARE YOU GONNA BE ABLE TO DO WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO DO WITHOUT RAISING TAXES OF ANY KIND? WOULD YOU PLEASE BE, UH VERY NON, VERY TRANSPARENT ABOUT THAT ARE VERY OPEN ABOUT IT. THANK YOU. JUDITH.

MY NAME IS JUDY TO SEAN AND I LIVE AT 6709 ISH NELLA TRAIL AND PLANO. MY DAUGHTER LOOSE, HEARD AND ROAD AND I GO TO CHURCH AT TRINITY PRESBYTERIAN ON VIRGINIA . I'M VERY, VERY CONNECTED TO MCKINNEY. UM I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IT'S A GOOD IDEA. TO DO A BETTER JOB IN PRESENTING THIS TO THE PUBLIC, AND YOU NEED TO BE VERY HONEST. OKAY I THINK YOU LOST A LOT OF FAITH. ON THE LAST BOND ISSUE. I WENT TO THOSE MEETINGS. I HAD TWO QUESTIONS. THE FIRST ONE WAS AH ECONOMIC VIABILITY, SOMEONE HERE SAID ONE DOWN IN SOUTH TEXAS WAS NOT ECONOMICALLY VIABLE FOR COMMERCIAL FLIGHTS.

WELL ACTUALLY, A LOT OF, UM REGIONAL AIRPORTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE NOW BEING CLOSED.

THESE ARE REGIONAL AIRPORTS WHERE THERE REALLY ISN'T ANOTHER AIRPORT NEARBY. AND IT'S REALLY NEEDED. BUT. UNFORTUNATELY THE AIRLINES DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PILOTS. AND UM, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO COME TO MCKINNEY AND HAVE A GATOR TO OPEN HERE. IT WOULD NOT BE AS PROFITABLE.

THEY'RE GOING TO PUT THE PILOTS WHERE THE PROFIT IS. AND I DOUBT IF IT'S GOING TO BE COMING OUT OF MCKINNEY. SO THAT WAS WHY I ASKED THE QUESTION. THE QUESTION WAS NOT ANSWERED. UM AH, THEY TOLD ME THAT WHEN WE'RE NOT TALKING ECONOMICS AT THIS MEETING THEY DIDN'T TALK TO ECONOMICS OF EITHER MEETING. THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD IS THE IMPACT ON THE EAST SIDE. THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE ON THE EAST SIDE OF PLANO WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. AND I GOT THE SAME ANSWER FROM THE AIRPORT MANAGER. I BELIEVE HE WAS AND ONE OF YOU WERE THERE. AND GAVE ME THE SAME ANSWER, WHICH IS WELL, LOOK AT LOOK AT HIGHLAND PARK. THOSE RICH PEOPLE DOWN IN HIGHLAND PARK HAVE LOVE FIELD AND THEY DON'T MIND. WELL, I ACTUALLY KNOW PEOPLE IN HIGHLAND PARK.

AND THEY ASSURED ME THEY DO MIND BUT THE WEALTHY AREA OF HIGHLAND PARK IF YOU DRIVE DOWN MOCKINGBIRD. YOU GET THE NICE, BEAUTIFUL MANSIONS THAT ARE TO KEEP GOING. KEEP GOING. IT GETS TACKIER AND TECH HERE IN TURKEY AS YOU APPROACH LOVE FIELD. OKAY BUT THAT QUESTION WAS NOT

[00:15:01]

ANSWERED EITHER. PLUS HAVING THE MEETINGS RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION WAS NOT A GOOD IDEA.

OKAY? SO I ASK YOU TO RESPECT THE CITIZENS. AND BE HONEST WITH HIM. AND YOU'LL DO A LOT BETTER.

THE OTHER THING IS, UM MY DAUGHTER SAID. I THINK WE NEED TO CHANGE OUR LOGO. UH FOR BIKINI. I DON'T THINK WE CAN HAVE YOU KNOW? SPECIAL BY NATURE ANYMORE AND WHAT I SUGGESTED TO HER? AS WE SAY, MAYBE OUR LOGO COULD BE DON'T FRISCO, MY MCKINNEY. DONALD SILVER. HMM.

GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. MY NAME IS TOM MCKERROW. I LIVE AT 1108. BUT ALRIGHT, OKAY, WE'RE GONNA DO A DUET. HE'S GONNA SING GETTING WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN LOGOS RIGHT OR NAMES RIGHT? FIRST OFF.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR TABLING THIS. I WENT TO MY FIRST PRESIDENTIAL CONVENTION 64 YEARS AGO, MR SILVER. YOUR ADDRESS, SIR. YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE. ON THE FARM. WE'VE SUFFERED MASSIVE IDENTITY THAT AFFECTED INCOME TAX SOCIAL. OH, YOUR ADDRESS MCKINNEY RESIDENT. THANK YOU. I WENT TO MY FIRST PRESIDENTIAL CONVENTION 64 YEARS AGO. I'VE BEEN AROUND POLITICS. I KNOW THAT IF YOU HAVE A MARGIN OF 10% OF THE VOTE, THAT'S A LANDSLIDE. THIS AIRPORT VOTE WAS 18% AS I RECALL AGAINST IT, SO I THINK WE NEED ANOTHER VOTE BY THE VOTERS RATHER THAN JUST YOU, GENTLEMEN AND LADIES, UH, DECIDING THIS FOR US. SO THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO SAY ONE. THANK YOU. TOM MCCARROLL. YEAH GOOD EVENING AGAIN. MY NAME IS TOM MCCARROLL. I LIVE AT 1108 TURKISH STREET IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS, IS THE BEST STREET IN MCKINNEY HAVE BEEN TOLD, UM, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRUDENCE. I THINK MCKINNEY HAS BEEN WELL SERVED TODAY BY YOUR DECISION TO TABLE THIS EVENT. AND OR THIS AGENDA ITEM AND I LOOK FORWARD TO ENGAGING WITH YOU AND I LOOK FORWARD TO YOU AND GAUGING WITH US. SO THANKS AGAIN, AND I WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS 2024. THANK YOU, TOM. SUE SILVER. GOOD EVENING. MY ADDRESS IS IN MCKINNEY AND I GO WITH THE OTHER SILVER AND IT WAS THE MASSIVE IDENTITY THEFT WAS AGAINST MY ACCOUNT IN SOCIAL SECURITY. IT TOOK 200 HOURS, SO WE DON'T WE DON'T DISCLOSE THAT. BUT WE ARE PROUD MCKINNEY RESIDENTS. AND LOVE MCKINNEY. AND WE, UH. YEAH WE MOVED HERE BECAUSE WE WANTED TO GET AWAY FROM LOS ANGELES AND L A X, SO WE WEREN'T EXPECTING THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH AN AIRPORT ISSUE HERE. AND OF COURSE, WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE VOTERS MADE IT VERY CLEAR HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THE EXPANSION OF THE AIRPORT AND COMMERCIAL PASSENGER SERVICE. I HAPPEN TO LOVE THE AVIATION INDUSTRY WORKED FOR NORTHROP LOVE PRIVATE PLANES AND I LOVE I LOVE OUR LOCAL LITTLE AIRPORT, BUT I WOULD NOT LIKE TO SEE IT EXPANDED AND I DO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR STABLING. THE MOTION AND FURTHER. LISTENING TO THE CITIZENS OF OUR BEAUTIFUL CITY HERE OF MCKINNEY. THANK YOU. YOU SCOTT SATELLITE. YOUR HONOR AND YOUR HONORS. I'M SCOTT SATELLITE. I'M FROM FAIRVIEW AND FAIRVIEW MEADOWS RIGHT ON THE BORDER OF MCKINNEY. AND I'M HERE REPRESENTING ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO REALLY DON'T HAVE A VOTE IN MCKINNEY, RIGHT? BUT WE GET IMPACTED BY THE NEGATIVE. IMPACT OF THE AIRPORT WITHOUT TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ANY OF THE POSITIVE ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF IT. SO UM, YOU KNOW, NOISE POLLUTION, AIR POLLUTION, GROUND POLLUTION, WATER POLLUTION AND SO FORTH, INCREASED TRAFFIC AND SO FORTH. SO THESE ARE ISSUES THAT AFFECT US EVEN THOUGH WE'RE NOT IN MCKINNEY AND REAL REQUEST IS TO EXPAND THIS. UM VOTE IF YOU WILL , TO BE MORE DEMOCRATIC AND REALLY TAKING THE INPUT OF THE PEOPLE IN THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES BECAUSE THEY'RE REALLY AFFECTED BY IT, AND DON'T GET ANY OF THE POSITIVE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF IT, SO THEY'VE GOT POTENTIALLY PROPERTY VALUES DECREASING BECAUSE OF THIS

[00:20:06]

AIRPORTS FLYING OVER YOU DO COMMERCIAL AIR FIGHT YOUR PROPERTY VALUES ARE GOING TO GO DOWN. SO MAYBE YOU COULD MAKE IT SO THAT THERE IS INCENTIVE FOR US TO BE INVOLVED AND PROVIDE MONEY TO US WHO ARE GOING TO HAVE PROPERTY VALUES DECREASE LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD. AND SO FORTH IT I JUST ASSUME NOT HAVE THE AIR POLLUTION IN THE NOISE POLLUTION. BUT AT LEAST MAKE US WHOLE. IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO, YOU KNOW, TAKE OUR PROPERTY VALUES DOWN. SO YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GO LOOK AT THE ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT HEARD MUSEUM. HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THE WETLANDS THAT GO DOWN TO YOU KNOW, THE AVON LAKE WETLANDS AND SO FORTH, HAVE ALL THE STUDIES ONLY BEEN DONE ON THE ON THE AIRPORT PROPERTY IS WHAT I UNDERSTAND. HAVE YOU EXTENDED THE ECONOMIC STUDIES OUTWARD INTO THE SURROUNDING AREAS? SO THESE ARE MY REQUESTS THAT YOU DO? UM I THINK THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. ALL RIGHT. THAT IS ALL THE I

[Consider/Discuss/Act on a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Negotiate an Agreement with a Preferred Development Team for the Redevelopment of Approximately 4.75 Acres of City-Owned Property in the Historic Downtown]

CONSIDERING ACT ON A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE AN AGREEMENT. WITH A PREFERRED DEVELOPMENT TEAM FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF APPROXIMATELY 4.75 ACRES OF CITY OWNED PROPERTY IN THE HISTORIC DOWNTOWN. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR MAYOR PRO TEM CITY COUNCIL ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER KIM FLAM STEPPING IN FOR MICHAEL QUINT TONIGHT, GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW OR WHERE WE ARE AT WITH THE DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT R F Q. I AM LOOKING FOR THE SLIDE. ADVANCER.

SO YOU HAVE SEEN THIS TIMELINE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE AND WE ARE AT THE PARTNER SELECTION PHASE, AND ON NOVEMBER 28TH. WE HAD OUR THREE DEVELOPMENT TEAM FINALISTS PRESENT A COUNCIL AND ALSO MEET THE PUBLIC. AND I WANT TO NOTE THAT THESE THREE FINALISTS CAME FROM A POOL OF 15 QUALIFIED APPLICANTS. THAT'S NOT JUST 15 APPLICANTS. THOSE ARE 15 DEVELOPMENT TEAMS THAT BUILD PROJECTS, MANY OF WHOM BUILT MIXED USE PROJECTS, MANY OF WHOM BUILT PROJECTS IN TEXAS AND WE FELT VERY LUCKY TO HAVE THREE VERY QUALIFIED TEAMS PRESENT. ON NOVEMBER 28TH. THEY MET WITH THE PUBLIC. WE SOLICITED PUBLIC COMMENT CARDS. THE COUNCIL DISCUSSED THIS IN EXECUTIVE SESSION, BOTH AND DECEMBER 5TH AND DECEMBER 19TH. WE RECEIVED ABOUT 48 SURVEY RESPONSES AND THIS WAS NOT A SCIENTIFIC SURVEY . THESE WERE OPEN ENDED COMMENT CARDS AND THERE WEREN'T ANY SORT OF THERE WASN'T ANY CLEAR DIRECTION. BASED ON THE CARDS. THERE WAS A WIDE VARIETY OF COMMENTS, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE AND WHEN WE DID A WORD CLOUD FROM EVERYONE'S COMMENTS CARD, THE WORD GOOD CAME UP ON ALL THREE. AND TO US. THAT MEANS WE HAVE THREE REALLY GOOD CANDIDATES HERE THAT REALLY UNDERSTAND HOW TO DO DEVELOPMENT DOWNTOWN. IT MAKES IT A VERY TOUGH DECISION. BUT IT'S ALSO THE BEST PLACE YOU CAN BE IN, ESPECIALLY FOR SOMETHING AS SPECIAL AS DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY. SO HERE'S WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY, AND THE AGENDA RIGHT NOW IS A RESOLUTION THAT WOULD AUTHORIZE US TO ENTER INTO AGREEMENT WITH A PREFERRED FIRM AND THAT AGREEMENT WILL GOVERN THE ACQUISITION AND THE REDEVELOPMENT OF APPROPRIATE THAT SOUNDS VERY TECHNICAL. SO WHAT IS THAT? EXACTLY WE ARE ASKING COUNSEL TO SELECT A PREFERRED DEVELOPMENT TEAM. AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? YOU KIND OF SEE ON THIS SLIDE COUNCIL WAS DELIBERATELY OPEN WHEN THEY CAST THE NET FOR THIS PROJECT BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO SEE THE POTENTIAL OF EVERYONE WHO WAS OUT THERE. WE FIRST NEED TO SORT OF FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT VISION IS. WE SAW SOME REALLY EXCITING IDEAS FROM ALL THREE TEAMS, BUT WE NEED TO DO A LITTLE MORE WORK TO HONE IN THE VISION. WHAT'S ON THE TABLE? THAT'S OFF THE TABLE, ETCETERA, SO WE WOULD ANTICIPATE GOING INTO A WORKING AGREEMENT WITH THIS FIRM TO HELP US WITH THAT DO A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT WITH THE COUNCIL WITH THE PUBLIC EXPAND ON THE PLANNING IDEAS THEY HAVE LOOK AT THE FINANCING AND HONE IN ON WHAT THE VISION IS FOR THE PROPERTY, AND ONCE WE'VE DONE THAT, WE WOULD ANTICIPATE THAT WE WOULD HAVE A TERM SHEET THAT TERM SHIP WOULD TURN INTO A DEVELOPMENT

[00:25:05]

AGREEMENT AND THEN WE WOULD GO INTO EXECUTION ADMINISTRATION. THE RESOLUTION. YOU SEE TODAY GIVE SIX MONTHS FOR US TO GET TO THAT POINT, AND WE FEEL THAT THAT IS VERY REALISTIC. SO AGAIN, THE TIMELINE NOW EXTENDED OUT SHOWS US SELECTING A DEVELOPER AND GOING THROUGH THOSE STEPS WITH A HOPEFUL HOPEFUL DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. FALL OF 2024 AND EXECUTION BEGINNING EITHER LATE 2024 EARLY 2025. THERE ARE REPRESENTATIVES FROM EACH OF THE DEVELOPMENT TEAMS IN THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT. AND I STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. QUESTIONS FOR KIM.

SO JUST TO REITERATE WHAT YOU SAID, UM, THERE ARE SEVERAL POINTS IN TIME AS WE MOVE FORWARD THAT IT MAY WHEREVER THE SELECTIONS TODAY TODAY'S SELECTION IS AGAIN JUST TO GO TO THE NEXT STEP TO START NEGOTIATING TERMS, BUT ALSO LOOKING AT HOLISTIC VISIONS AND WHAT THE ACTUAL DELIVERY WILL BE. I'M NOT NOT JUST THE VISIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PRESENTED TO DATE AND, UM AND IF WE CAN'T GET TO AN AGREEMENT, ONE THAT WE FEEL EMBODIES WHAT WHAT THE COMMUNITY IS EXPECTING AND LOOKING FOR, AND WHATNOT. WE WILL BE BACK AT THE TABLE AND BE OPENING DISCUSSIONS WITH ANOTHER ANOTHER ONE OF THE PARTIES THAT HAVE APPLIED AND MADE IT TO THIS ROUND. THAT'S A GREAT POINT AND WORTH REITERATING. EACH OF THE DEVELOPMENT TEAMS IN NOVEMBER SHOWED CONCEPTUAL PLANS OF WHAT THEY WERE THINKING OF FOR DOWNTOWN BASED ON THEIR KNOWLEDGE AT THAT POINT IN TIME, SELECTING A DEVELOPMENT TEAM TODAY DOES NOT MEAN THAT WILL BE BUILT TOMORROW. IT DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE ACTUALLY SELECTING THAT EXACT PLAN. IT MEANS THAT WE FEEL THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO WORK WITH US TO HONE IN ON THEIR TECHNICAL SKILL SET. THE PLAN THEY SHARED WITH US, BUT EVOLVED THAT PLAN INTO A VISION AT THE COUNCIL IS LOOKING FOR THE SITE.

HAVE A QUESTION. THANK YOU, CAPTAIN. APPRECIATE IT. THAT ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I THINK MARK IS. THE MOTION WILL INCLUDE THE NAME CORRECT SO THE MOTION WILL BE TO AUTHORIZE A MEASURE TO NEGOTIATE AGREEMENTS WITH THE SPECIFIC TEAM WILL BE NAMING THAT TEAM NOW. AND AGAIN THAT'LL BE A FIRST ROUND OF NEGOTIATIONS AND DISCUSSIONS AND TO IDENTIFY WHETHER OR NOT THAT TEAM CAN, IN FACT, DELIVER. ULTIMATELY WHAT WE EXPECT AND WANT AS A COMMUNITY, AND IF WE CAN'T GET THERE, THEN WE'LL BE BACK AT THE TABLE. SO I'LL MAKE A MOTION IN A I JUST WANT TO PUT A LITTLE BIT OF AN EXPLANATION BEHIND, UM WHO I'M GOING TO MAKE THE MOTION FOR. I WANT TO SAY FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU TO ALL THREE TEAMS THAT CAME IN AND PRESENTED TO US BECAUSE THEY WERE GREAT PROJECTS, AND I THINK EACH ONE OF THEM HAD COMPONENTS THAT WE LOVED. UM AND KIND OF THE PERFECT SCENARIO KIND OF BE A GEL OF ALL THREE, BUT FOR ME WHAT IT CAME DOWN TO, BECAUSE THE COMPONENTS CAN CERTAINLY CHANGE. WE CAN HAVE SOME CLARIFICATIONS ABOUT WHAT WE WANT, WHETHER IT BE THE BALANCE BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL RETAIL ENTERTAINMENT PARKING ALL OF THOSE THINGS, BUT FOR ME, IT REALLY CAME DOWN TO STYLE. AND I FELT THAT MTG GAVE THE BEST STYLE THAT REALLY INTEGRATED WELL WITH THE COMMUNITY. SO MY MOTION IS THAT WE MOVE FORWARD WITH TWO G. SECOND I'LL SECOND PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. PUSHING PASSES. AND WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR EVERYONE THAT HAS RESPONDED TO THE R F Q THREE HERE, OF COURSE, AND THE OTHER 12 THAT RESPONDED INITIALLY, THEY DID NOT MAKE IT TO THE FINAL ROUND. UM THERE'S A LOT OF DELIBERATION AND CONSIDERATION. DISCUSSION TO GET WHERE WE ARE TONIGHT. HOPEFULLY WILL BE HAVE A SUCCESSFUL NEGOTIATION MOVING FORWARD. BUT IF NOT, WE WILL BE ASKING. ANOTHER ANOTHER TEAM TO ENTER INTO THE SAME DISCUSSIONS WITH US AT A LATER DATE. I DO WANT TO POINT OUT MR MAYOR THAT EACH OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS WERE EXTREMELY GRATEFUL AT THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT THAT WAS PUT INTO THIS PROJECT BY EACH OF THE RESPONDENTS AND ALL OF US WERE EXCEPTIONALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE QUALITY ACROSS THE BOARD. AH IN PARTICULAR THE TEAMS THAT YOU BROUGHT TOGETHER FOR THIS PROJECT AND THE AMOUNT OF TIME AND DEDICATION YOU PUT INTO PRESENTING IT TO US, UH AND I WANT TO REITERATE AT LEAST MY OPINION THAT UH, EVERYONE IS STILL IN THE RUNNING. IF THESE

[00:30:04]

NEGOTIATIONS AS PROPOSED, DO NOT REACH A SATISFACTORY CONCLUSION, AND SO PLEASE DO NOT THINK IF YOU WERE NOT THE SUBJECT OF THE MOTION THAT YOU ARE EXCLUDED AT THIS POINT IN TIME, SO THANK

[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Request to Rezone the Subject Property from “PD” - Planned Development District to “PD” - Planned Development District, Generally to Modify the Development Standards and to Allow for Single-Family Attached Uses (Westridge Townhomes), Located Generally on the North Side of Virginia Parkway and Approximately 420 Feet West of North Independence Parkway, and Accompanying Ordinance]

YOU. ITEM. 230081 Z TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AND ACT ON REQUEST TO REZONE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT. GENERALLY TO MODIFIED DEVELOPMENT CENTERS AND TO ALLOW FOR SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED, USES WESTRIDGE TOWN HOMES LOCATED GENERALLY ON THE NORTH SIDE OF VIRGINIA PARKWAY IN APPROXIMATELY 420 FT, WEST OF NORTH INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY, IN ACCOMPANYING ORDINANCE. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR, JENNIFER ARNOLD, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL I'VE GOT HOPEFULLY A FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD REZONING REQUEST FOR YOU TO CONSIDER TONIGHT AS YOU READ, MR MAYOR, THIS IS A REQUEST TO REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TO PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT. GENERALLY AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER THERE OF BRIDGE AND VIRGINIA PARKWAY. UM I'M SORRY. INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY, THE I JUST READ THE ENTIRELY WRONG INTERSECTION. I'M SO SORRY. NORTH SIDE OF VIRGINIA AND WEST SIDE OF INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY. I DON'T KNOW WHERE MY BRAIN IS STILL ON VACATION. I SUPPOSE SO.

AS YOU READ THE REQUEST IS TO ALLOW FOR TOWN HOMES ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. IT'S ABOUT 6.5 ACRE. ONE THING I DO WANT TO KIND OF POINT OUT ON THIS TRACT IS THERE IS THIS IS THE TRACT ITSELF THERE AT THE HARD CORNER. UM RIGHT HERE IS A SLIVER PROPERTY THAT IS ACTUALLY STILL IN THE CITY'S E. T. J AND IT IS CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. SO WE'VE KIND OF GOT AN ODD LOCATION FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY. IT IS CURRENTLY ZONED FOR COMMERCIAL USES, AND THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE IT TO ALLOW FOR RESIDENTIAL TOWN HOME USES.

THESE WOULD BE TRUE TOWN HOMES, SINGLE UNIT SINGLE LOT FOR SALE AND STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE REQUEST. WE ARE COMFORTABLE WITH IT, ESPECIALLY GIVEN KIND OF THAT ODD CONFIGURATION WITH THE COMMERCIAL AT THE HARD CORNER IN THE E. T J. WE HAVE WORKED WITH THE APPLICANT THEY ARE REQUESTING, AND SOME MODIFIED STANDARDS FOR THAT TOWN HOME DEVELOPMENT, MOST NOTABLY THE PROVISION OF LANDSCAPING. TYPICALLY WE DO REQUIRE ONE CANOPY TREE IN THE FRONT YARD OF EVERY RESIDENTIAL LOT. AND THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING ONE ORNAMENTAL TREE, WHICH DOESN'T HAVE THAT SAME KIND OF REACH, GIVEN THE SMALLER LOT SIZE AND TO SUPPLEMENT THAT THEY WOULD BE PROVIDING CANOPY TREES IN THE COMMON AREAS OF THE DEVELOPMENT WHEN WE LOOK AT THE SITE IN TOTAL, AND THE PROPOSAL OF THE APPLICANT WE ARE COMFORTABLE THAT IT MEETS THE INTENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND RECOMMENDING APPROVAL. THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HAS ALSO RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

QUESTIONS FOR JENNIFER. QUESTION ABOUT THE TERMS USED ON THIS ALLOWED FOR SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED USES. YES, SIR. THAT IS A TOWN HOME. YEAH SO IS THAT WHY THE TERM ATTACHED IS THROWN IN WITH SINGLE AND SINGLE FAMILY? HAVEN'T SEEN IT WRITTEN THAT WAY. YES SIR. SO, TYPICALLY, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SINGLE FAMILY, IT'S A DETACHED UNIT, BUT BECAUSE THEY WILL HAVE SHARED WALLS. THAT'S WHERE THAT ATTACHED COMES IN. BUT WE ALWAYS REFER TO THAT AS SINGLE FAMILY BECAUSE WE DO WANT TO MAKE IT KNOWN THAT IT IS A SINGLE UNIT SINGLE LOT, MEANING SIMPLE OWNERSHIP ON EACH LOT AND EACH UNIT EVEN THOUGH THEY'VE GOT A SHARED WALL. PROPERTY LINE GOES DOWN THROUGH THE CENTER OF THAT INTERIOR. COMMON WALL, CORRECT. MY QUESTION WAS ONLY ON THE NOMENCLATURE. SO THANK YOU. HMM. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, SIR. YES SIR. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS JERRY SILO WITH JBL PARTNERS 2121 MIDWAY ROAD IN CARROLLTON. WE DO REPRESENT THE PROPERTY OWNER ON THIS REQUEST THIS EVENING. I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S TIME. AS JENNIFER SAID, HAPPY NEW YEAR.

HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY HAD A GOOD SET OF HOLIDAYS. UM APPRECIATE THE TIME THIS EVENING. UH REALLY , THE ONE THING I REALLY WANTED TO TOUCH ON IN THE PRESENTATION HAS TO DO WITH THE LANDSCAPING BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY THE PRIMARY DIFFERENCE FROM WHAT THE CITY TYPICALLY REQUIRES. UH WITH TOWN HOMES. USUALLY YOU KNOW THAT THE HOMES THE FRONT YARDS ARE MUCH SMALLER THAN A SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOUSE. WE'RE PROPOSING A 10 FT FRONT YARD SETBACK IN A 20 FT REAR YARD.

SETBACKS OVER SORT OF FLIPPING THE SETBACKS AT A HOUSE. WHERE TYPICALLY, YEAH. SO I CANNOT BE TREE TYPICALLY HAS A CANOPY AND MATURITY ABOUT 30 TO 50 FT. SO THAT THAT MEANS THAT WITHIN 10 PLUS OR MINUS YEARS THAT CANOPY TREE IF IT'S PLANTED AT THREE OR FOUR INCH CALIBER TREE IS GOING TO START GROWING INTO THE FACE OF THE HOUSE BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY ABOUT FIVE OR 7 FT, AWAY FROM THE HOUSE. AND THEN WHAT IS IT HAPPENING? ISN'T ALMOST IF YOU HAVE A SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE

[00:35:02]

ON A SEPARATE SITTING ON A DETACHED LIGHT, YOU KNOW THE SAME THING IN YOUR FRONT YARD BECAUSE IT'S IN MY FRONT YARD. THAT TREE MATURES AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE FRONT YARD IS JUST COMPLETELY SHADED AND MOST OF US HAVE BERMUDA GRASS AND BERMUDA GRASS NEEDS 6 TO 8 HOURS OF SUN.

AND AFTER ABOUT 15 YEARS, YOU HAVE A LOT OF DIRT IN YOUR FRONT YARD AND A LOT OF GRASS. SO WHAT WE HAVE PROPOSED AND WE RUN INTO THIS IN EVERY CITY. WE WERE OUR FIRM WORKS ACROSS THE METROPLEX.

SO WHAT? WE HAVE PROPOSALS IN THE FRONT YARD YOU HAVE WHAT WE CONSIDER IS A RIGHT SIZE TREE.

THAT'S GOING TO HAVE A 10 TO 20 FT CANOPY THAT'S GOING TO ALLOW FOR SOME SUN, BUT WE DO WE UNDERSTAND THE PURPOSE OF THE CANOPY TREES IN MCKINNEY AND WE RESPECT THAT. AND SO WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE HAVE. WE'RE PROPOSING 53 LIVES. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE 53 CANOPY TREES IN THOSE OPEN SPACE AREAS, PRIMARILY AROUND THE STREET THAT WAS STILL PROVIDE THE SAME CANOPY TREES THAT WE WOULD HAVE REQUIRED. OTHERWISE IF WE JUST DO THE TREES ON THE LOTS AND THEN THE ADDITIONAL ORNAMENTAL TREES, SO THAT'S REALLY THE PRIMARY DIFFERENCE. THANK YOU. I'M SORRY. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THAT EXPLANATION. IT MAKES AN ABUNDANCE OF SENSE. I REMEMBER WHEN I BUILT MY HOUSE BACK IN 96. THEY PUT A COUPLE BRADFORD PEARS AND THOSE MET THEIR MAKER WITHIN A LITTLE BIT, AND NOW THERE'S RED OAKS AND MAN, THOSE THINGS ARE INSANE. RIGHT NOW. IT'S NOT MY HOUSE ANYMORE. BUT YOUR POINT IS GOOD. ALSO WANTED TO REALLY JUST THANK YOU FOR THIS. YOU KNOW, WE NEED MORE STARTER HOMES IN MCKINNEY AND I'VE SAID BEFORE ON THIS DIOCESE THAT YOU KNOW, HOMES ARE PARTS, THEIR LABOR AND THEIR LAND. AND IF WE CAN MITIGATE THE LAND, THEN THAT HELPS MAKE IT MORE AFFORDABLE. AND IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THESE WILL BE AND THESE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE NEED IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS, SO I VERY GRATEFULLY SUPPORT YOUR PROPOSAL HERE. VERY MUCH SO.

RIGHT? I AS I SAID, IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING. I DON'T SHOW THAT ANYONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.

BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE YOURSELF KNOWN IF NOT ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND MOVE ON THIS ITEM COMMOTION. WE CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE. THIS ITEM WAS SECOND JUST CAST YOUR VOTES. MOTION PASSES. ITEM 230004, A THREE CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING TO

J AND IT'S KIND OF NORTH AND SOUTH OF FM 543. WITH THE CONSENT ANNEXATION PROCESS. WE DO HAVE TO GO THROUGH A SERIES OF PROCEDURAL STEPS AS REQUIRED BY STATE LAW, STARTING WITH THE APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION WHICH HAPPENED BACK IN. I BELIEVE IT WAS JUNE OR JULY OF 2023. AND THEN WE WERE WENT UNDERWAY WITH NOTIFICATION TO SERVICE PROVIDERS, PROPERTY OWNERS RESIDENTS AND ENTERING INTO WHAT WE CALL THE PETITION PERIOD, WHICH IS A SIX MONTH PERIOD. WE HAVE NOW COMPLETED THAT SIX MONTH PETITION PERIOD WHEREBY WE TRY AND OBTAIN CONSENT FROM PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THE AREA FOR THAT ANNEXATION. WE HAVE RECEIVED SIGNATURES FOR PROPERTY OWNERS REPRESENTING 50% OR MORE OF THAT PROPOSED ANNEXATION AREA, WHICH MEANS THE CITY DOES HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO AN EXIT WITH THE REMAINDER OF THIS PROCESS. SO THAT IS WHY WE ARE HERE TONIGHT. AS PART OF THAT CONSIDERATION FOR ANNEXATION, WE ARE REQUIRED TO HOST TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS. ONE BEING TONIGHT WHERE THERE IS NO ACTION BEING PROPOSED IN THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING WILL HAPPEN AT YOUR NEXT COUNCIL MEETING AND AT THAT POINT STAFF WOULD ASK FOR ACTION FROM THE COUNCIL FOR ANNEXATION AS WELL AS ZONING OF THOSE PROPERTIES. SO WHEN YOU SEE ME AGAIN WITH THIS ITEM, IT WILL BE FOR ACTION. BUT FOR TONIGHT THE ITEM BEFORE YOU IS SIMPLY TO CONSIDER THE ANNEXATION, OPEN UP A PUBLIC HEARING AND OFFER THE OPPORTUNITY FOR PROPERTY OWNERS AND STAKEHOLDERS TO MAKE COMMENTS AND THEN CLOSE THAT PUBLIC HEARING AND WE'LL SEE YOU AGAIN IN TWO WEEKS WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE QUESTIONS FOR. JENNIFER. THANK YOU, JENNIFER. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS
