SO, UM. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION TRAINING SERIES STARTED THIS LAST OCTOBER. UM KATE, AND, UH, N, UH, WENT THROUGH THERE, UM, ITEMS THERE. AND THEN, UH, WE WENT THROUGH THE COMP PLAN. UH, ABOUT A MONTH AGO. UH, THE TOPIC FOR TONIGHT IS GOING TO BE THE ZONING BASICS , SO WE ARE. THAT'S GOING TO BE THE PRIMARY TOPIC FOR THIS ONE HERE. UM, SO THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT PROCESS THIS IS WHAT CAITLIN'S WAS OVER. UM YOU CAN SEE THE ZONING THAT IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE VERY FIRST STEPS. IT'S GOING TO SET THE TONE FOR THE REST OF THESE SUBMITTAL THAT OCCUR AFTER, UM THE ZONING IS IN PLACE ON THE PROPERTY. UH, A ZONING AND REZONING. ESSENTIALLY IT'S THE PROCESS WHERE AN APPLICANT IS GOING TO ESTABLISH, UM, EITHER AN INITIAL ZONING OR REQUESTED DIFFERENT ZONING THAN WHAT'S CURRENTLY ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. SOME OF THIS MIDDLE DOCUMENTS THAT WE SEE WITH THE ZONING SUBMITTAL OR RESUBMITS, OR REZONING, SUBMITTAL OR LETTER OF INTENT, ZONING EXHIBITS MEETS AND BOUNDS DESCRIPTIONS OR YOU'LL HEAR THOSE AS LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY AND THEN FOR P DS. WE ALSO SEE, UM, DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS OR DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. UH, CITY COUNCIL IS ULTIMATELY THE APPROVAL BODY OF ZONINGS AND REZONING. BUT WE BRING THOSE TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION TO OFFER A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL. UM TYPICALLY, UH, THE TIMING THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR ZONINGS AND RE ZONINGS ARE ABOUT 3 TO 6 MONTHS, BUT, UH, THAT CAN FLUCTUATE DEPENDING ON THE APPLICANT, UM AND THE TYPE OF ZONING THAT THEY'RE GOING FOR. UM AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE KICK IN ABOUT 2 TO 2.5 MONTHS OF EXTRA TIME IN ORDER TO MEET THE STATES, UH, NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS, UH, AHEAD OF PNZ AND THEN AHEAD OF CITY COUNCIL FOR THOSE PUBLIC HEARINGS. UM SO WHAT IS ZONING, UM, UNDER THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE CHAPTER, 211, THE CITY OF MCKINNEY IS AUTHORIZED TO REGULATE THIS LIST OF THINGS AS WELL AS AN EXPANDED LIST. UH, WITHIN THAT CHAPTER, UM THINGS LIKE HEIGHT, UH, PERCENTAGE OF A LOT THAT CAN BE OCCUPIED. SO UM, UNDER UM, OUR PREVIOUS CODE. WE HAD FA RS OR FLOOR AREA RATIOS UNDER THE UDC. I BELIEVE WE GOT RID OF THOSE. UM UH, UNDER THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE SIZE OF YARDS. COURTS AND OTHER OPEN SPACES. SO UM, THAT'S THINGS LIKE BUFFERS, UH, LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS, THAT KIND OF THING. POPULATION DENSITY USE OF LAND PUMPING EXTRACTION AND USE OF GROUNDWATER AND THEN ALSO, UH, CONSTRUCTION ALTERATION, BUILDING ELEVATIONS THOSE KIND OF THINGS WITHIN OUR HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA. CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? YEAH, OF COURSE. UM, BUILDING MATERIALS IS NOT REALLY REGULATION. WE CAN REQUEST. IT IS MORE OF A BUILDER. AGREEMENT THAT'S CORRECT OUTSIDE OF THE HS A OR THE HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA. WE HAVE AN OVERLAY DISTRICT THAT'S CALLED THE HS, A UM, ESSENTIALLY, IT'S AROUND DOWNTOWN AND, UM, KIND OF A AN EXPANDED AREA. UM AND WITHIN THAT HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA WE CAN. UM UH YEAH, FOR THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS. ANYTHING ELSE WE CAN'T REQUIRE NOT OUTSIDE OF THE HS, A SO THANK YOU. YEAH, OF COURSE. YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF THOSE PROJECTS. A LOT OF THE
[00:05:05]
PROJECTS THAT ARE EITHER IN THE MTC OR JUST OUT IN THE HS A. THEY'RE GOING TO A LOT OF THOSE COME FORWARD TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR DESIGN EXCEPTIONS, VARIANCES THOSE KIND OF THINGS SO. BASICALLY THERE ARE TWO PARTS TO ZONING. THE FIRST IS GOING TO BE WHAT CAN BE DEVELOPED ON THE SITE. SO THESE ARE THE, UH SPECIFIC USES THAT ARE GOING TO BE PERMITTED.THEY'RE EITHER GOING TO REQUIRE AN SUP. UM OR THEY'RE JUST OUTRIGHT NOT PERMITTED WITHIN THAT ZONING DISTRICT. UH, FOR THE STRAIGHT ZONINGS OR BASE ZONING DISTRICTS, UH, YOU'LL HEAR THOSE TERMS. THEY'RE ENTER. INTERCHANGEABLE UM, WE HAVE A SPECIFIC TABLE OF USES. THAT'S WITHIN THE C. THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE. IT TELLS YOU WHAT USES ARE PERMITTED WITHIN EACH DISTRICT. UH, THAT IS A STRAIGHTER BASED ZONING DISTRICT IN THE CITY. UH, PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT SALES ARE GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, UM, IN THE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS ARE GOING TO INCLUDE A LIST OF USES THAT ARE PERMITTED OR REQUIRE AN SUP ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. AND THOSE ARE REALLY CUSTOMIZED FOR THIS SPECIFIC TRACK. SO UM NO. TWO P DS ARE GOING TO REALLY EVER BE THE SAME FOR THE MOST PART. AND THEN THE SECOND PIECE OF ZONING IS HOW CAN AC IP DEVELOP? SO THESE ARE, UM, GOING BACK TO THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS? UM IN ADDITION TO THE USES, YOU KNOW, NOW WE KNOW WHAT IS PERMITTED ON THE PROPERTY. HOW ARE WE GOING TO DEVELOP THAT USE OF THE PROPERTY? UM THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS OR DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. THOSE ARE GOING TO INCLUDE THINGS LIKE SETBACKS, HEIGHT, LANDSCAPING, SCREENING, PARKING, AND AGAIN WITH THE HS A. THAT'S GOING TO BE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS AS WELL. UM AND THEN, FOR SOME SPECIFIC USES, WE DO HAVE ADDITIONAL CRITERIA. SO IT MAY BE CRITERIA THAT, UM, IS APPLICABLE TO A SINGLE KIND OF USE. OR MAYBE A GROUP OF USES, BUT NOT TO EVERY USE THAT'S WITHIN THE C. BASE ZONING DISTRICTS THAT IS A ZONING DISTRICT THAT'S ALREADY ESTABLISHED WITH AN ARTICLE TWO OF THE DC THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, SO IT'S KIND OF AN OFF THE SHELF ZONING, UM AND ALL OF THE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, INCLUDING THE USES AND THEN, UH, DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS. THOSE ARE GOING TO BE STRAIGHT OUT OF THE C. AND THEN, UM, FOR ANY WHAT WE WOULD CALL LEGACY ZONING DISTRICTS. THOSE ARE DISTRICTS THAT EXISTED BEFORE THE U DC. UM, WE NOW HAVE A TABLE THAT SHOWS WHICH OLD LEGACY DISTRICTS CORRESPOND TO A NEW OR THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS OF ONE OF THE C, UH, BASED ZONING DISTRICTS. A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE BEST SEWING DISTRICTS. UH AND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SOME OF THOSE DISTRICTS WOULD BE C ONE, C TWO AND C THREE. SO THESE ARE OUR THREE COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS. UM AND THEN THIS IS KIND OF JUST WHERE WE SEE THOSE, UH THROUGHOUT THE CITY. SO C ONE THAT'S GOING TO BE THE LOWEST INTENSE, UM, AND SMALL SCALE, UH, COMMERCIAL AND TYPICALLY WHERE WE SEE THOSE ARE GOING TO BE MID BLOCK LONG. ARTERIAL ROADWAYS. UM OR WHEN THEY'RE AT THE HARD CORNER OF AN ARTERIAL AND COLLECTOR OR COLLECTOR COLLECTOR INTERSECTIONS. C TWO. SO THAT IS KIND OF THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK. UH, MID SIZE, MEDIUM INTENSITY. UM, THOSE ARE TYPICALLY AT ARTERIAL AND ARTERIAL INTERSECTIONS. UM AND THEN C THREE. THAT'S GOING TO BE THE LARGEST SCALE COMMERCIAL, UM , HIGHER INTENSITY THAN THE C TWO. DEFINITELY THE C ONE. AND THOSE ARE TYPICALLY LOCATED ALONG, UH, MAJOR REGIONAL HIGHWAYS, OR, UH, MAJOR REGIONAL HIGHWAYS AND ARTERIAL INTERSECTIONS. SO THOSE ARE TYPICALLY FOUND, UM, YOU KNOW, MAYBE ALONG 3 80 75 121. SOME OF THOSE. AND THEN UH, THE PD SS THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS. THOSE ARE ZONING DISTRICTS THAT ARE NEWLY CREATED, SO THEY CREATED SPECIFICALLY BY THE APPLICANT FOR THAT SUBJECT PROPERTY. UM. THIS BLURB COMES, UH, STRAIGHT OUT THE U DC. IT'S ESSENTIALLY THE PURPOSE FOR PD ZONING DISTRICTS. IT KIND OF EXPLAINS THAT P DS. SHOULD NOT BE APPLICABLE TO EVERY SUBJECT PROPERTY. UM AND AS YOU SEE, THE TEAL ON THE MAP ARE WHERE P DS ARE ZONINGS THAT ARE P DS ARE THROUGHOUT THE CITY THAT'S SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 85 AND 90% OF THE CITY. UM M, MOVING FORWARD AND ONE OF THE STEPS THAT WE'VE TAKEN TO HELP, UH, KIND OF ALLEVIATE THE NEED FOR P DS, UM, IS WITH THE CREATION OF OUR NEW C, SO THE UC OFFERS MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY THAN WHAT WAS UNDER THE OLD CODE AND MAYBE HELPS ALLEVIATE SOME OF THOSE SITUATIONS WHERE P DS, UH, MAYBE SHOULDN'T UM OR DON'T NEED
[00:10:04]
TO BE REQUIRED. SO THE, UM CITY OF MCKINNEY OBVIOUSLY, UH, GOING BACK TO THE MAP, YOU SEE, WE'VE BEEN USING P DS FOR QUITE A WHILE. UM THE OLD FORMAT THAT WE USED WITH P DS WAS THEY COULD AMEND EACH OTHER. SO YOU HAVE EVEN TODAY SOME SUBJECT PROPERTIES WHERE YOU HAVE SIX OR SEVEN PD ZONING DISTRICTS ON THE SAME SUBJECT PROPERTY. UM, INSTEAD OF. NOW UNDER THE NEW FORMAT, WE HAVE NO MORE AMENDMENTS. SO EVERY TIME A PD COMES THROUGH THAT IS THE SOLE ZONING DOCUMENT FOR THAT SUBJECT PROPERTY. YOU DON'T HAVE SIX OR SEVEN DOCUMENTS REGULATING THE SAME SUBJECT PROPERTY. UM, WE ALSO GOT RID OF BASE ZONING DISTRICTS. SO WHAT? WHAT THAT ESSENTIALLY MEANS IS THE APPLICANT COMES TO US WITH THEIR SPECIFIC STANDARDS THAT THEY WANT ON THE SUBJECT. PROPERTY THERE ARE SPECIFIC SET OF USES, AND WE THEN REVIEW THOSE, UM, WE DON'T JUST REFER TO A STRAIGHT C TWO WITH A COUPLE OF CHANGES ANYMORE. AND LIKE I SAID, THAT IS GOING TO INCLUDE EVERYTHING YOU TO SET BACKS HEIGHT. AND THEN UH, SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WE SEE ARE DIFFERENTIATIONS TO PARKING, UH, LANDSCAPE BUFFERS SCREENING THOSE KIND OF ITEMS AS WELL. AND THEN, UH, THIS IS KIND OF JUST WHAT A BASIC, UM, ZONING EXHIBIT LOOKS LIKE. SO OUTLINE OF THE PROPERTY. UM IT DOES COME WITH MEETS AND BOUNDS, SO IT HAS A LEGAL DESCRIPTION ON A SEPARATE PIECE OF PAPER. AND THEN WE HAVE THE EXISTING, UM, USES AND ZONING OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND THE SURROUNDING, UH, PROPERTIES AS WELL AS THE PROPOSED ZONING FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. AND THEN SO OTHER THINGS TO EXPECT AS PART OF THE STAFF REPORTS THAT YOU'RE GONNA SEE FOR REZONING ARE GOING TO BE SOME OF THE THINGS LISTED ON HERE, SO STAFF ALWAYS CONDUCTS A DETAILED REVIEW OF THE ZONING AND OR REZONING REQUEST. WE'RE GOING TO INCLUDE THAT DESCRIPTION IN THE STAFF REPORT ALONG WITH OUR RECOMMENDATION, SO YOU CLEARLY KNOW WHAT OUR RECOMMENDATION IS GOING TO BE ON A CERTAIN ZONING CASE. UH, WE'LL ALSO SUMMARIZE THE ITEM. UH, JUST BRIEFLY, BUT, UM, IN THE IN THE DESCRIPTION, WE WILL GO A LITTLE BIT FURTHER IN DETAIL AND EXPLAIN OUR, UM RECOMMENDATION AS WELL. UM, YOU WILL ALSO FIND THE ZONING OF LAND AND LAND USES OF THE ADJACENT PROPERTY SO YOU CAN FIND THAT ON THE ZONING EXHIBIT THERE WILL ALSO BE LISTED. YOU CAN KIND OF SEE JUST, UH WHAT THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS DOWN AT THE BOTTOM.HERE, UM BUT, UH, IT ALSO INCLUDES ALL OF THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES AS WELL ON THAT. AND YOU'LL ALSO SEE IF THERE IS ANY IF THERE ARE ANY CITIZEN COMMENTS, OPPOSITION OR SUPPORT OF THE ZONING OR REZONING, UM YOU'LL GET A FISCAL ANALYSIS KIND OF SNAPSHOT AS WELL. UM AND THEN INFORMATION ON IF IT WENT TO ANY PREVIOUS MEETINGS IF IT HAD BEEN TABLED BEFORE, UH WE INCLUDE THE PNZ RECOMMENDATION OF CITY COUNCIL IN THAT SECTION WHEN WE SEND THOSE TO CITY COUNCIL AND ULTIMATELY, YOU KNOW, UH, DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I KNOW I WENT THROUGH THAT PRETTY QUICKLY. BUT ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OVER ANY OF THOSE ITEMS? IS YOUR NOTIFICATION BY THE STATE. IS IT 10 DAYS AND WE DO 30 I. I BELIEVE IT'S 26. FOR THE LEGAL NOTICES AHEAD OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS THAT WE SEND THOSE OUT FOR THE PNZ MEETINGS AND THOSE PUBLIC HEARINGS. I BELIEVE IT'S 11 DAYS THAT WE SEND THOSE OUT BEFOREHAND. SO.
1515 FOR COUNCIL, OK? YEAH. THAT 15 DAYS FOR THE COUNCIL. 15 DAYS PRIOR TO A COUNCIL MEETING, RIGHT, OK. ANYONE ELSE? VERY GOOD. THANKS GOOD INFORMATION. THANK YOU GOOD INFORMATION, AND IT'S GOOD THAT WE'RE WE CAN REFER BACK TO THIS AND LOOK AT IT. AND THERE IS A PLAN IN PLACE IN YOU GUYS ARE FOLLOWING A PLAN. IT'S NOT JUST RANDOM.
