A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A RESTAURANT TO WITH DRIVE-THROUGH MCDONALDS AND THIS IS LOCATED AT 910 VIRGINIA PARKWAY. THANK YOU. YOU HAVE THE FLOOR. THE CHAIRMAN. GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. A PLANNER FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU AS FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR A RESTAURANT WITH A DRIVE THROUGH. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 9010, WEST VIRGINIA PARKWAY. THE REQUEST, UM DUE TO THE, UH, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT REQUIRES THAT THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT BE GRANTED IN ORDER TO ALLOW FOR A RESTAURANT WITH DRIVE-THROUGH AT THE SITE OR LOCATION. THE, UM RECUR. EXCUSE ME. THE REQUEST COMPLIES WITH ALL SIDES, SPECIFICATIONS AND ZONING DISTRICT AND SITE STANDARD CRITERIA FOR THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE. THE PROPOSED RESTAURANT WITH DRIVE-THRU WILL COMPLEMENT THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT AND ADD TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES AVAILABLE IN THE AREA AND AS SUCH STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST, AND I STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU A MEMBER'S QUESTIONS. YOU WANT. I GUESS YOU SAID MAYBE YEAH, UH, COMMENT. I MEAN, THAT'S A VERY BUSY CORNER. UM. I CAN I, I I'M JUST CURIOUS.WAS THERE ANY IS THERE ANY POSITION TO HAVING A DRIVE-THROUGH THERE. AS FAR AS IF WE RECEIVED ANY COMMUNICATION FROM CITIZENS. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY COMMUNICATION WITH HER IN SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION. THANKS. ANYONE ELSE? SO IT'S A REQUEST FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. ZONING IS IN PLACE. BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT WHEN YOU HAVE A DRIVE-THROUGH WHEN THE UNDER THE UNDERLYING ZONING. IT'S A VIA NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, BUSINESS, SO THAT TRIGGERS THE REQUIREMENT FOR AN SUP APPROVAL OR OR REQUEST IN ORDER TO BE GRANTED. VERY GOOD. IS THERE APPLICANT HERE TONIGHT? GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS LESLIE FORD. AND UH, MY ADDRESS IS 3224.
COLLINSWORTH STREET. FORT WORTH, TEXAS 76107. AND I'VE GOT YOUR CARD HERE, TOO. UM, NO, I'M HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE. THIS IS A PRETTY PROTOTYPICAL MCDONALD'S FOR US.
THE SITE DOES ALLOW FOR THE USE OF A TWO LANE DRIVE THROUGH WHICH DEFINITELY HELPS WITH STACKING AND TRAFFIC. UM SO BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE SITE IS DESIGNED, THIS ONE DOES HAVE
[00:05:03]
WHAT WE CALL A 221. INSTEAD OF JUST LIKE A 1 TO 1. SOMETIMES YOU'LL SEE, UH, YOU'LL SEE MCDONALD'S COME IN WITH A ONE LANE AND THEN GO TO TWO. THIS ONE HELPS WITH A LOT OF THE STACKING AND TRAFFIC, SO WE INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED IT THAT WAY WITH THE IDEA THAT THIS WAS A PRETTY BUSY CORNER. TO ADDRESS COMMISSIONER BEFORE SO IN RESTAURANT LINGO, A 21 SO IN RESTAURANT, LEGO TWO WINDOWS TO ORDER AND THEN ONE LANE COMING TO THE SO WE GO. SOMETIMES WE GO 121, WHICH BASICALLY IS LIKE ONE, STACKING LANE, TWO ORDER POINTS, ONE ORDER, LIKE WHERE YOU ACTUALLY PICK UP YOUR ORDER. BUT THIS ONE, WE'VE GOT TWO LANES FOR STACKING TO HELP WITH SOME OF THAT TRAFFIC. NOT EVERY SITE ALLOWS FOR IT JUST BECAUSE THE SIZE BUT THIS ONE WORKED OUT. RIGHT? VERY GOOD. ANY QUESTIONS? YOU DON'T QUESTION SO AS YOU ARE PROCEEDING WEST ON VIRGINIA. RIGHT NOW. THAT'S JUST VACANT BEYOND WHERE THAT IS SO DIRECTLY ACROSS. YOU'VE GOT THE 7-ELEVEN AND THEN JUST NORTH OF THAT ON CUSTER YOU HAVE IF THERE'S AN ARBY'S THERE AND THEN YOU HAVE A STRIP MALL. SO KIND OF WHAT IS THE PROPOSED PLAN FOR YOU KNOW BACK UP TRAFFIC BECAUSE MCDONALD'S LUNCHTIME BREAKFAST TIME CAN GET VERY CONGESTED. AND RIGHT NOW I KNOW AS YOU COME THROUGH THAT AREA, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF ADDITIONAL SPACE FOR TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF LIKE WHAT'S ON COURT IS OVER THERE AT RESTAURANTS. WHAT'S KIND OF THE FUTURE PLAN? WELL SO I CAN'T SPEAK TO THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT . UNFORTUNATELY THAT'S THE I'M ONLY LIMITED TO THIS ONE. BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT AS IT PERTAINS TO OUR SITE DESIGN. WE TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION THAT WE WOULD NEED LIKE I MENTIONED THE DOUBLE STACKING BECAUSE THAT ALLOWS US TO HAVE INSTEAD OF JUST HAVING TRADITIONALLY LIKE SIX CARS. WE CAN HAVE 12 CARS STACKED SO IF YOU LOOK THERE, IT ACTUALLY COUNTS OUT SIX IN EACH LANE, SO IT DOES HELP A LITTLE BIT WITH CONGESTION AS IT PERTAINS TO OFF OF THE SITE. I'M NOT 100% SURE WHAT THE WHAT THE PLANS ARE, BUT I KNOW THAT AT LEAST ON OUR SITE, WE TOOK THAT INTO AND DESIGNED AROUND IT. IN THE INTENT TO USE THE EXISTING ACCESS POINTS THAT EXIST THERE TODAY, CORRECT SO THERE'LL BE NO NEW ACCESS POINTS. RIGHT? CAN PROBABLY SPEAK TO THE REST OF THE SITE. A SITE PLAN ON IT. YES SO WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING FOR THE ENTIRE OTHER PROPERTY EXCEPT FOR THE IMMEDIATE ADJACENCY TO THE WEST, UH, FOR SHOPPING CENTER. IT WAS APPROVED . BUT IF WE WERE TO REQUIRE A UM , TRAFFIC STUDY, ENGINEERING WOULD HAVE TO REQUEST IT FOR THE INDIVID. UH, ENGINEERING DESIGN MANUAL, BUT THIS SIDE DID NOT REQUIRE OR TRIGGER ANY REQUIREMENT FOR THAT SITE. MHM. OTHER QUESTIONS ANYONE? THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. BOTH. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING IF YOU COME TO NINE AND WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGARDING THIS PROPOSED SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM. ALL RIGHT, SEEING NONE MOTIONS, COMMENTS. ACTUALLY. MA'AM COMMENT. SO. THIS IS ALREADY AND I KNOW MCDONALD'S ARE KIND OF ALL OVER, BUT DOES THE DEVELOPER FEEL LIKE THIS IS DETRACTING FROM THE OTHER MCDONALD'S? THAT'S RIGHT UP THE STREET ON VIRGINIA AT STONEBRIDGE AT ALL. I GUESS JUST IN GENERAL IF THE USE ALLOWS FOR A RESTAURANT WITH DRIVE THROUGH, UM AND IT MEETS THE CRITERIA FOR THE SUP. WE REALLY DON'T LOOK AT SPECIFIC TYPES OF RESTAURANTS BASED ON USES OR SIMILARITIES. WE JUST KIND OF STICK TO WHAT THE ZONING DISTRICT ALLOWS AS FAR AS THE USE IN GENERAL AND THEN JUST MAKING SURE THAT THEY MEET THE DESIGN STANDARDS FOR THE DC CODE. MHM. THANK YOU. ONLY MCDONALD'S KNOWS IF TOO CLOSE IS TOO CLOSE. YOU KNOW? ALL RIGHT, SO. WE HAVE NO. ONE FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING. MOTIONS TO ANYTHING. TO APPROVE. PROVISIONS IN THE STAFF REPORT. ARE YOU WILLING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? ALSO IN THAT MOTION? YES, OK. MOTION MR BEUTNER TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THE. FIRST STAFF RECOMMENDATION. 2ND 2ND BY MR CONRAD.

NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS 24-0009 Z, A PUBLIC HEARING. CONSIDER REZONE FROM A PROFIT OF A PROPERTY FROM PD TO PD TO MODIFY THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND TO ALLOW FOR MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES. THIS IS ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF MCKINNEY RANCH PARKWAY AND COLUM MCKINNEY PARKWAY. MR BENNETT? YES THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MR CHAIRMAN. GOOD EVENING COMMISSION. JAKE BENNETT , PLANNER WITH THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. UH, SO THIS IS A REQUEST TO REZONE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF COLIN MCKINNEY AND MCKINNEY RANCH TO PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES THIS PROPERTY AND REQUEST MAY SEEM FAMILIAR AS A SIMILAR REQUEST CAME BEFORE P AND Z IN CITY COUNCIL IN OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR. THE SUBJECT PROPER IS DESIGNATED AS ENTERTAINMENT CENTER PLACE TYPE AND THE ONE MCKINNEY 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN . THIS PLACE TYPE GENERALLY PROVIDES FOR AN AREA FOR EMERGING COMMERCIAL CENTERS THAT OFFER A HORIZONTAL. THE OFFER OF HORIZONTAL, UM, MIX OF COMMERCIAL USES KIND OF AT THE REGIONAL SCALE. UM ALTHOUGH SOME RESIDENTIAL USES ARE CONTEMPLATED IN THE ENTERTAINMENT CENTER PLACE TYPE OVER 1800 EXISTING OR PLANNED, MULTIFAMILY UNITS ARE WITHIN A MILE RADIUS OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, BUT NO NOTABLE RETAILER SERVICE USES EXIST. UH, WITH THE SUBJECTS WITH THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES, PROXIMITY TO STATE HIGHWAY 121 AND THE ANTICIPATED EXTENSION OF COLIN MCKINNEY PARKWAY THROUGH THE T. IT IS OUR PROFESSIONAL OPINION THAT THE PROPERTY SHOULD BE PRESERVED FOR COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITIES THAT BETTER ALIGN WITH THE PLACE TYPE AND VISION DESCRIBED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. UH, PRESERVING THIS TRACK FOR COMMERCIAL USES MAY ALLOW FOR THE REALIZATION OF DEVELOPMENT THAT BETTER ALIGNS WITH THAT VISION. DUE TO CONCERNS REGARDING THE PROPOSED MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL USE ON THE SUBJECT. PROPERTY STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL OF THE PROPOSED REZONING ANN ALL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU CHAIR QUESTIONS. HAVE ONE. JAKE ON THE OUTDOOR RECREATION AREAS.IS THAT GOING TO BE OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC OR JUST THE RESIDENTS? UM I'LL ALLOW THE APPLICANT TO SPEAK TO THAT AS FAR AS THAT BEING DEDICATED TO CITY PARKLAND. UM UH, OUR PARTS DEPARTMENT HAS NOT ACCEPTED THAT AS FAR AS ANY DEDICATION AT THIS TIME. FOR PUBLIC USE. ANYONE ELSE? JAKE. AM NOT SURE THIS FISCAL ANALYSIS IS COMPLETELY RELEVANT, BUT WE'RE NOT, BUT IT'S PART OF THE REPORT. SO I GUESS I WANNA ASK WHY, UM ON THE PROPOSED ZONING. REVENUE VERSUS
[00:15:02]
COST IS INFERIOR TO THE PRIOR. PRIOR ZONING, SO IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S A DETRIMENT TO THE CITY'S FINANCES. IS THAT TRUE? I'LL ALLOW JENNIFER TO SPEAK TO THOSE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS. SO IN GENERAL, UM AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN PULL IT UP AND WE CAN WALK THROUGH IT. BUT IN THAT FISCAL ANALYSIS, YOU SEE THREE DIFFERENT THINGS RIGHT. YOU SEE WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE OR WHAT IT IS ANTICIPATED OR PROJECTED TO LOOK LIKE UNDER THE PROPOSED ZONING, SO THE MULTIFAMILY ZONING UH, WHAT? IT UH IS PROJECTED OR ESTIMATED TO GENERATE UNDER THE EXISTING ZONING OR CONDITIONS, AND SO IN THIS CASE, WE'RE DEALING WITH AGRICULTURAL UNDEVELOPED AND THEN THE THIRD COLUMN IS WHAT IT IS ANTICIPATED OR PROJECTED TO CONTRIBUTE UNDER THE ONE MCKINNEY 2040 PLACE TYPE DESIGNATION, SO. THE PROPOSED ZONING IS FOR MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND I WILL TELL YOU ALL I WILL TELL THE WORLD GENERALLY SPEAKING, RESIDENTIAL USES DO NOT PAY FOR THEMSELVES IN ANY CITY BUDGET, AND THAT IS BECAUSE THE CITY PROVIDES SERVICES. PUBLIC STREET MAINTENANCE. WATER SEWER PARK SERVICE IT, YOU KNOW, WE ANTICIPATE THE COST FOR PROVIDING PARKS AND LIBRARIES. SO THAT IS NOT AN UNCOMMON THING TO SEE WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT A FISCAL MODEL THAT IS, UM, CHANGING A LAND USE. WHERE ZONING DESIGNATION FROM A COMMERCIAL OR UNDEVELOPED OR AGRICULTURAL STATE TO A RESIDENTIAL ONE. IT'S HIGHLY LIKELY THAT WE WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT IN A SINGLE FAMILY PROPOSAL AS WELL, JUST BECAUSE IT IT DOES IN GENERAL, THAT THAT IS WHY WHEN YOU LOOK AT A CITY BUDGET, OR YOU TALK TO FOLKS WITHIN THE CITY, THERE IS THAT DESIRE TO MAINTAIN THAT COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL BALANCE BECAUSE RESIDENTIAL DOES, OF COURSE, PROVIDE THAT TAX BASE, BUT THE COST OF SERVICES OFTEN OUTWEIGH IT, AND THAT'S VERY TYPICAL. AND THAT'S NOT A MCKINNEY THING.THAT IS JUST A CITY GOVERNMENT DEVELOPMENT KIND OF THING. SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS DID THAT IN ANY WAY DRIVE THIS DECISION TO DENY IT DOES NOT, AND THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. THAT FISCAL MODEL IS IN THERE AS A REFERENCE FOR YOU ALL. IT IS A REFERENCE POINT FOR US, BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING, WE NEVER LOOK AT THOSE TWO TIP THE SCALES FOR US ONE WAY OR ANOTHER ON A RECOMMENDATION. WE DO NOT PRETEND TO BE MARKET ECONOMISTS. WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THAT FISCAL MODEL IS JUST THAT IT'S A MODEL IT WAS DEVELOPED WITH IN PARTNERSHIP WITH A MARKET ECONOMIST AS A SNAPSHOT IN TIME, BUT IT'S MORE OF AN INFORMATION PIECE. UM SO THAT YOU ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO LOOK AT. QUITE FRANKLY, WE WERE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE IT. UM SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO THAT. BUT IT DOES NOT TYPICALLY, UH, FILTER INTO OUR RECOMMENDATION.
OVERALL OUR RECOMMENDATION OVERALL IS BASED ON THAT POLICY DOCUMENT AND THAT DESIGNATION AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR MORE COMMERCIAL USES. THANKS. GOOD QUESTION, RUSS ANYONE ELSE? I JUST WANT TO VERIFY THE PARKING IS IN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY REQUIREMENTS. CORRECT THAT'S CORRECT. SO THEY ARE, UM, LOOKING TO PROVIDE THE TWO SPACES PER UNIT AS OF RIGHT NOW, UM AND, UH, I. I BELIEVE 40% OF THAT IS GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO BE ENCLOSED SO EITHER IN STRUCTURED PARKING OR PARKING GARAGES THAT ARE ATTACHED TO THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS THEMSELVES.
ANYONE ELSE? JAKE. THANK YOU AS OUR APPLICANT. YES, SIR. YOU'RE DENIED. EVENING MY NAME IS KEVIN , COS I AM HERE ON BEHALF OF ALAN HARRISON. WE'RE THE OWNER, DEVELOPER AND GENERAL CONTRACTOR FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT. UM SO JUST REAL QUICKLY JUST TO TOUCH ON THE FISCAL ANALYSIS PART OF THAT I SEE THE PROPOSED VALUE IN THERE IN THE OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND IT'S LISTED AT 50 MILLION, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY KIND OF THE BASE FOR THE FOR THE PROPERTY TAXES THAT IT WILL GENERATE, UM, WE FEEL THAT'S GROSSLY UNDERSTATED. FOR WHAT YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING TO BUILD. SO YOU KNOW, UH, IN OUR MIND THAT THAT DEFICIT IS KIND OF MISREPRESENTING THE VALUE THAT WE WOULD BE PROVIDING WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT. BUT UM, KIND OF GETTING INTO OUR PRESENTATION HERE. YOU KNOW, AS JAKE MENTIONED, WE DID PROPOSE TO REZONE THIS PROPERTY IN OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR AND DID RECEIVE SUPPORT FROM PLANNING AND ZONING AT THE SUBSEQUENT CITY COUNCIL HEARING. UH, THERE WERE QUESTIONS THAT WERE RAISED THAT AT THAT TIME WE DID NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY TO ACCOMMODATE, SO WE WENT BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND KIND OF REWORK THE PLAN. UM TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS, SO WHAT I WANT TO DO IS JUST WALK YOU THROUGH THOSE UPDATES, WALK YOU THROUGH THE FEEDBACK WE GOT. IN A SHOW YOU YOU KNOW EXACTLY THE CHANGES THAT WE'VE MADE. UM, SO JUST QUICK REFRESHER ON THE SITE. IT'S AN 18 ACRE SITE. UH THERE'S A NUMBER OF COMPOUNDING CONSTRAINTS HERE. YOU'VE GOT ENCORE TRANSMISSION LINES ALONG THE EASTERN BOUNDARY THAT CONNECT IN TO THE SUBSTATION. JUST SOUTH OF THE SITE. YOU'VE GOT SLOAN CREEK, UH, COMING IN
[00:20:05]
FROM THE WEST. AND THEN, AS JAKE SAID, WE HAVE COLIN MCKINNEY PARKWAY EXTENDING THROUGH THE SITE HERE, SO YOU CAN TELL THAT AFTER THE DEVELOPMENT OF COLIN MCKINNEY PARKWAY THAT THAT SOUTHERN LOT THAT'S LEFT THERE IS REALLY CONSTRAINED. UM, BY THESE BY THESE ADJACENCY. AND MAKES ANY SORT OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT REALLY DIFFICULT ON THAT PARCEL. SO AS A RESULT, OUR MULTIFAMILY UNITS THAT THAT WE'RE PROPOSING ARE ALL ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ROAD. UH, SHOWN IN PURPLE HERE THAT 10.8 ACRE SITE. SO AS TO WHY WE ARE PURSUING A PD. UM WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE GROSS ACREAGE OF THE SITE , UM, OUR UNIT COUNT OF 350 UNITS. IF YOU APPLY THAT TO THE 18 ACRE SITE, IT'S ABOUT 19 UNITS AN ACRE, WHICH IS WELL BELOW WHAT IS, UM, ALLOWABLE IN THAT MF 30 BASE CODE, WHICH ALLOWS UP TO 30 UNITS AN ACRE. BUT AGAIN ONCE YOU PUT IN COLIN MCKINNEY PARKWAY, AND YOU SHRINK THAT, UM, THAT NORTHERN LOT. THE DENSITY IS THEN CALCULATED ON THAT 10.8 ACRE LOT, WHICH INFLATES THAT, UH, DENSITY CALCULATION TO 32 UNITS AN ACRE.HENCE THE REASON FOR THE PD. BUT THROUGH THE CREATION OF A PD, WE'RE ABLE TO, UM ENHANCE THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THIS PROJECT, INCLUDING THIS CREATION OF THIS COMMUNITY RECREATION AREA, WHICH WE WILL GET INTO A LITTLE MORE DETAIL HERE IN A MINUTE. I KNOW YOU HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT IT. UM BUT I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. LIKE I SAID, TO KIND OF WALK THROUGH THE SPECIFIC UH, FEEDBACK THAT WE GOT FROM CITY COUNCIL ON OUR PREVIOUS PLAN, AND, UH, KIND OF VISUALLY SHOW THE EXACT CHANGES THAT WE MADE, UH, TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS THERE. SO UM, YOU KNOW, ON THE LEFT, YOU'LL SEE OUR PREVIOUS SITE PLAN THAT WE TOOK THROUGH, UH, ZONING AND ON THE RIGHT IS OUR REVISED SITE PLAN. UM SO THE BIGGEST, UM, QUESTION THAT WAS RAISED WAS AROUND THE PARKING BOTH THAT, UH, THE 1.6 SPACES PER UNIT WE ARE PROPOSING WAS TOO LOW, AND, UM, THAT THE WAY THAT WE HAD CONFIGURED OUR BUILDINGS CREATED THIS SEA OF PARKING EFFECT VISIBLE FROM THE STREET THAT JUST FRANKLY WASN'T VERY PRETTY TO LOOK AT, UM AND SO YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S A THAT'S A CHALLENGING SITE PLANNING EXERCISE TO ADDRESS BOTH OF THOSE AT THE SAME TIME, BOTH ADDING ADDITIONAL PARKING AND MAKING IT LESS VISIBLE. UM WE SAT WITH IT FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND ULTIMATELY CAME UP WITH A PLAN THAT THAT SOLVED BOTH OF THESE. SO WE ADDED A TWO STORY PARKING GARAGE INTO THE CENTER OF THE SITE. HERE, UM THAT ALLOWED US TO ADD CLOSE TO 100 AND 50 SPACES ON THE SITE PARKING SPACES, WHICH GOT US UP TO THAT 2.0 SPACES PER UNIT. UM, IN COMPLIANCE WITH THAT MF 30 CODE. UM WE ALSO PUSHED ALL THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS OUT TO THE PERIMETER OF THE SITE, WHICH OBVIOUSLY CREATES, YOU KNOW A NATURAL VISUAL BARRIER, UH TO THE INTERIOR AND SHIELD SOME OF THAT PARKING, BUT IT ALSO FORCES , UM THE GARAGE DOORS TO ORIENT TOWARDS THE INTERIOR OF THE SITE. UM SO IT IT SOLVES THAT ISSUE AS WELL IN TERMS OF HIDING THOSE FROM PUBLIC VIEW. UM SO OVERALL, WITH THESE CHANGES, WE WERE ABLE TO CREATE A PROJECT THAT YOU KNOW, COMPLIES WITH THE PARKING RATIO IS, UH, MORE VISUALLY APPEALING AS AS YOU'RE DRIVING BY, UM IT ALSO CREATES A MORE WALKABLE PROJECT AS THESE BUILDINGS ARE FRONTING THE STREET AND PUSHED UP TOWARDS THE SIDEWALK AND THEN IT ALSO CREATES A BETTER JUST OVERALL.
UH, BETTER PARKING DISTRIBUTION WITHIN THE SITE, SO YOU WILL SEE THE PARKING THE INDIVIDUAL PARKING. I GUESS STALLS ARE CLOSER TO THE UNIT, SO OUR RESIDENTS WON'T HAVE TO WALK AS FAR YOU KNOW, WHEREVER THEY PARK ON SITE. UM. SO OVERALL, WE THINK THIS IS A MUCH IMPROVED PLAN, YOU KNOW, AND IS NOW IN FULL COMPLIANCE AGAIN WITH THE CODE REQUIREMENTS, AND SOME OF THE OTHER FEEDBACK WE GOT FROM COUNCIL WAS AROUND OUR, UM UNIT MIX WHERE WE HAD ORIGINALLY PROPOSED BETWEEN 60 65% 1 BEDROOMS, UM AS WELL AS ON JUST THE OVERALL NUMBER OF UNITS IN THIS DEVELOPMENT, SO WE'VE ADDRESSED BOTH OF THOSE, UH, IN THIS REVISED PD AS WELL. SO WE'VE CAPPED OUR UNIT MIX TO ALLOW NO MORE THAN 55% OF THE TOTAL UNITS TO BE, UH, ONE BEDROOM UNITS, AND WE'VE ALSO LOWERED OUR TOTAL UNIT COUNT FROM 385 TO 350 MAXIMUM UNITS ALLOWED. IN THIS PD. SO IN ADDITION TO ADDRESSING SOME OF THOSE COMMENTS, WE'VE ALSO ADDED SOME UM YOU KNOW, EXCEPTIONAL QUALITIES AS THEY'RE CALLED IN THE PD TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT'S REQUIRED IN CODE. SO MOST NOTABLE OF THOSE IS, UH WE'VE NEARLY DOUBLED THE AMOUNT OF AMENITIES THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT. SO IN MF 30 FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SIZE, YOU'D BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE 55 AMENITIES ON SITE. UM THE PD THAT WE PRO PROPOSED HERE WOULD REQUIRE 97 OF THOSE WOULD BE ON THE NORTHERN MULTIFAMILY SITE AND THEN ADDITIONAL TWO ON THIS
[00:25:03]
SOUTHERN, UH, SIX ACRE LOT THAT WE'RE CALLING COMMUNITY RECREATION AREA HERE, WHICH WE THINK IS A REALLY UNIQUE BENEFIT , UH, OF THIS PROJECT. SPECIFICALLY THAT'S THAT'S MADE POSSIBLE BY THE EXTENSION OF THIS ROAD HERE. SO DIVING INTO MORE DETAIL ON THIS COMMUNITY RECREATION AREA, YOU KNOW, GOING BACK TO THE SITE CONSTRAINTS THAT THAT I SHOWED EARLIER. THAT LOT SOUTH OF COLIN MCKINNEY PARKWAY IS A REALLY CHALLENGING PARCEL RIGHT THERE. IT'S YOU KNOW, VERY CONSTRAINED BY THE POWER LINES IN THE CREEK AND THE ADJACENT CIES MAKE IT, UM YOU KNOW, A LESS LESS DESIRABLE SITE. AND AS A RESULT, UM YOU KNOW YOU PROBABLY END UP WITH A VACANT AND UNDEVELOPED LOT FOR THE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. UM BUT WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING WITH THIS PD IS THAT, UM WE PROGRAM THAT INTO AN OPEN SPACE. THAT'S A BENEFIT FOR OUR RESIDENTS, AS WELL AS THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY HERE. SO UM, YOU CAN SEE WE PULLED A MAP HERE OF PARKS IN MCKINNEY. YOU'LL NOTICE THAT AROUND OUR SITE THERE'S REALLY, UH YOU KNOW NOTHING COMPARABLE IN THE AREA. UH, SAME GOES FOR ALL ALONG THE 121 CORRIDOR THERE. THERE'S REALLY JUST NO, UM PARKLAND CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. SO THIS THIS PRESENTS A REALLY UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF FILL A GAP IN THE PARK MAP HERE, UM AND AGAIN PROVIDE A DESIRED USE ON A PARCEL THAT WOULD PROBABLY OTHERWISE GO UNDEVELOPED. UM IN TERMS OF PROGRAMMING THIS SPACE WHAT WE'VE DRAWN INSPIRATION FROM WINIFRED PARK HERE IN HERE IN MCKINNEY, UM WILL SEE IT SHARES SOME SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS IN TERMS OF ITS SHAPE. UH, IT'S ALSO LOCATED OFF AN ARTERIAL ROAD OFF LAKE FOREST . UM BUT YOU ALSO NOTICE THAT IT'S NEARLY THREE TIMES THE SIZE OF THE PARCEL THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. UM BUT DESPITE ITS INCREASED SIZE, UH, THE AMENITIES THAT WE'RE PROPOSING ON ON OUR PARCEL HERE ARE VERY COMPARABLE, VERY SIMILAR. SO YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT PUTTING IN A SPORT COURT WITH A BASKETBALL COURT TENNIS COURT PICKLEBALL COURTS HAVE BEEN FLOATED OUT THERE AS AN IDEA. BUT ALSO PROVIDING A PLAYGROUND OPEN PLAY AREAS AND THEN YOU KNOW, HIKING AND BIKING TRAILS TO KIND OF REALLY TIE THE AREA TOGETHER THERE. UM SO AGAIN , YOU KNOW, WE REALLY THINK THIS IS A REALLY UNIQUE FEATURE THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT BRINGS THAT WE THINK WILL COMPLEMENT THE SURROUNDING AREA. UM AND THEN JUST QUICKLY, YOU KNOW, JUST TO KIND OF HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE AMENITIES FOR THAT NORTHERN MULTIFAMILY SITE. UM, I WON'T LIST GO THROUGH THESE INDIVIDUALLY, BUT I THINK THESE PICTURES UH, YOU KNOW FROM SOME OF OUR PAST PROJECTS JUST GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF THE QUALITY THAT WE THAT WE BUILD TO AND JUST KIND OF UNDERSCORE THAT THIS IS A REALLY NICE DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE PROPOSING FOR THIS AREA.UM IN, YOU KNOW, THE CONCEPT IMAGERY THAT WE HAVE HERE IS THE INTENT IS TO TIE IT INTO THE EXISTING ARCHITECTURE. WE'VE USED THE STADIUM. UH, THE ADJACENT STADIUM. THERE IS KIND OF THE UM THE DESIGN INSPIRATION FOR IT. BUT AGAIN, YOU KNOW, REALLY JUST TRYING TO KIND OF TIE INTO THE COMMUNITY HERE. UH, AND THEN, LASTLY, WE PULLED THIS AERIAL AND PUT THIS TOGETHER, UM , TO HIGHLIGHT ANOTHER KEY BENEFIT OF THIS PROJECT IN IN COLIN MCKINNEY PARKWAY, BUT YOU'LL SEE HERE HIGHLIGHTED IN ORANGE, ALL OF THE EXISTING OR CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION PORTIONS OF COLIN MCKINNEY PARKWAY AND NOTICEABLY. THE ONLY PART THAT'S MISSING IS THE CONNECTION THROUGH OUR SITE. HERE WE SEE THIS DEVELOPMENT AS REALLY, YOU KNOW, THE COMPLETION OF COLIN MCKINNEY PARKWAY SO PROVIDING THAT THAT KEY INFRASTRUCTURE TO THE CITY HERE AND, UM YOU KNOW, HELPING TO IMPROVE THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AREA BUT ALSO HELPING TO FOSTER SOME OF THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF, UH SOME OF THE VACANT PARCELS AROUND OUR SITE AS WELL. SO UM YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S ALL I HAD PREPARED FOR YOU ALL TONIGHT, BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. I HAVE ONE. SURE I NOTICED THAT THE ENTRANCE OFF OF MCKINNEY PARKWAY. IS YOU LOST YOUR DIVIDED ENTRANCE. CORRECT. SO THE SPACE PLANNING THERE, YOU KNOW AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED IT WAS A CHALLENGE, TOYING WITH THE SITE IN TERMS OF ADDING, UM. YOU KNOW, ARE GETTING TO THAT REQUIRED PARKING RATIO, WHILE ALSO, UH DOING THE YOU KNOW, SHIELDING THE PARKING AND SO YOU KNOW, I IT'S A TIGHT FIT ON THIS SITE TO GET EVERYTHING IN THERE.
UM BUT THE WAY THAT KIND OF THE CODE IS WRITTEN IS THAT YOU HAVE A LIST OF A ENHANCEMENTS ARE CALLED TO CHOOSE FROM WITH EACH DEVELOPMENT. UM AND ONE OF THOSE ENHANCEMENTS THAT WE HAD CHOSEN FOR OUR PREVIOUS SITE PLAN WAS THOSE THOSE MEDIAN DIVIDERS AT THE ENTRY. UM THE THERE ARE A COUPLE OF OTHER OPTIONS, ONE OF THEM BEING A STRUCTURED PARKING GARAGE, UM, WHICH WE HAVE INCORPORATED INTO THIS NEW DESIGN. UM WHICH TAKES THE PLACE OF THE DIVIDED MEDIAN AGAIN.
[00:30:07]
IT'S REALLY JUST A MATTER OF SPACE PLANNING. IT JUST GETS VERY TIGHT, TRYING TO GET THE PARKING, UH TO THE CODE IN ORDER TO MEET THE MCKINNEY RANCH PARKWAY, NOT THE ONE THAT'S INDICATED WITH THE HERE AS M. SORRY WAS THAT YOU? YEAH, I'LL PUT DOWN THERE. UM, IS THAT JUST TWO LANES ONE COMING ONE GOING. OR IS IT IS? IT'S TWO LANES IN EACH DIRECTION TO MCKINNEY RANCH PARKWAY. I'M SORRY. WHAT ARE YOU ASKING ABOUT THE ENTRANCE ITSELF? IS IT JUST TWO LANES OFF MCKINNEY RANCH? UH, 11 IN AND ONE OUT. YES. YES, IT IS. HE RANCH WILL BE A FOUR LANE DIVIDED. YEAH I'M SORRY. I'M CONFUSED IF YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT OUR ENTRANCE TO OUR PROPERTY OR THE ROAD ITSELF. HE'S ASKING THE WIDTH OF THE ROAD, SO THE ROAD ITSELF IS TWO LANES IN EACH DIRECTION. SORRY BUT OUR OUR ENTRANCE WILL BE ONE IN ONE OUT. SORRY ABOUT THAT. ANYONE ELSE? RUSS. UM GOOD PRESENTATION. I GUESS THE QUESTION IN MY MIND IS THERE ANY INFORMATION OR DATA? AVAILABLE WITH RESPECT TO THE DEMAND FOR HOUSING. VERSUS DEMAND FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. YES THERE IS. I MEAN, SO OBVIOUSLY WE'RE WE'RE MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPERS. WE'RE WELL AWARE OF THE SUPPLY IN THE AREA. THIS AREA SPECIFICALLY HAS SOME OF THE HIGHEST OCCUPANCY RATES IN THE CITY, SO THERE'S AN EXHIBITED DEMAND HERE. BUT IN TERMS OF DEMAND FOR OTHER TYPES OF USES. I KNOW THE SELLER WHO YOU KNOW WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH ON THIS PROPERTY IS ACTUALLY A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPER AND HE'S HE'S HERE IN THE AUDIENCE NOW, AND, UM, I KNOW HE WANTED TO SAY A FEW THINGS ABOUT THAT AS WELL IN TERMS OF THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT HE'S EXPLORED FOR THIS SITE AND ULTIMATELY WHY THAT'S BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL AND AGAIN KIND OF REINFORCING WHY WE BELIEVE THAT MULTIFAMILY IS THE HIGHEST AND BEST LAND USE FOR THE SITE.ANYONE ELSE IS THE PROPOSAL AN INTENT THAT THE DEVELOPER WOULD BUILD THE AMENITIES ON THE SOUTH ON THE COMMUNITY RECREATION AREA AND MAINTAIN THEM? IT IS YES. THAT 5.8 ACRES HOW MUCH OF THAT IS ACTUALLY USABLE? NEVER CALLED , WAS IN A FLOOD ZONE IN THAT AREA AS WELL. THERE IS A CREEK THAT RUNS THROUGH THE SITE THERE, UM IN THE ENCORE MEN AS WELL. THE ENCORE AS WELL. SO I MEAN, AGAIN, IT'S GOING TO BE A MIXTURE OF PROGRAM SPACE WITH OPEN FIELDS, WALKING TRAILS, THINGS THINGS OF THAT NATURE, SO YOU KNOW THERE WILL STILL BE USABLE. MAYBE NOT BUILDABLE IS A BETTER WORD WHERE WE CAN PUT A PLAYGROUND MAYBE UNDERNEATH THE POWER LINES, AND I DON'T THINK WE'D WANT TO, UM BUT IT IT'S STILL USABLE. IT'S JUST NOT HOW WE WHERE WE WOULD PROGRAM THE SPACE. CAN ACTIVATE IT WITH FIELDS AND A PATH BUT WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY PUT THE PLAYGROUND AND POTENTIALLY SPORT COURT IS LIMITED. IS THAT FAIR TO SAY YES. WITH THE DEVELOPER BUILDING THIS OR ARE THEY GOING TO BE MAINTAINING IT? IS IT GOING TO BE THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT? WHO IS GOING TO BE OWNING THAT MOVING FORWARD? IT WOULD BE THE DEVELOPER. THIS WOULD ALL BE, YOU KNOW, OWNED BY THAT SAME PROPERTY MANAGEMENT OF THE MULTIFAMILY PORTION WOULD BE MAINTAINING THE OPEN SPACE AS WELL. THE ACCESS FEE FOR THAT. SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH WITH ENGINEERING . BUT AGAIN, IT'S ANOTHER REASON WHY, YOU KNOW, WE KIND OF KEYED IN ON ON, UH, ONE OF OUR PARK HERE BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY DID A REALLY INTERESTING WAY OF DOING IT. SEE IT IN THE TOP RIGHT PHOTO HERE WITH THE BASKETBALL COURT, BUT THEY'VE GOT KIND OF A ONE IN ONE OUT DRIVEWAY WITH WITH PARKING SPACES THERE, SO YOU'RE ABLE TO KIND OF JUST PULL IN AND THEN, UH, PULL RIGHT BACK OUT ONTO THE ONTO THE ROAD THERE, SO STILL WORKING THROUGH THAT WITH ENGINEERING, BUT THAT'S KIND OF THE IDEA AND THE INTENT OF WHAT WOULD LIKE TO SEE THERE. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE HAS NOW HE'S AT ME DC. BUT HAS ANYONE REACHED OUT TO MICHAEL KOWSKI? BECAUSE HE WAS OVER AT PARKS DIRECT FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO OFFER SOME SUGGESTIONS REGARDING PARKS AND FOR THAT, AS WELL. YEAH, WE HAVE NOT TALKED TO HIM ABOUT THE ACCESS WE HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH WITH PARKS AND REC ABOUT THIS PARCEL. UM IN ABOUT, YOU KNOW WHETHER THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN IN, UH US DONATING THAT, UH, THEY THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY INTEREST IN THAT WHEN WE HAD THAT CONVERSATION A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. UH, SO WE HAVEN'T REACHED BACK OUT SINCE IN TERMS OF PLANNING THE SPACE, BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY YOU KNOW? REACH OUT TO THEM. GET SOME IDEAS. ANYONE ELSE? VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. THIS DID YOU HAVE YOUR PARTNER THAT STOOD UP WITH YOU DID HE NEED TO ADD SOMETHING AS THE APPLICANT OR HE I DO NOT THINK SO. NO, VERY GOOD. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM. IF YOU

COME TO NINE, AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS PLANNING AND ZONING HE'S COME TO THE PODIUM.YEAH MY NAME IS BUCKY GILLETTE, 1100 DICKINSON DRIVE IN MCKINNEY. I'M A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPER LIVE IN THE CITY, AND, UH, WE PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY TO GIVE YOU SOME BACKGROUND ON IT. WE PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY WITH GREAT PLANS AND IN 2020, KNOWING THAT IT WAS A COMMERCIAL ZONE PROPERTY WITH A FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT, UH, COMPONENT TO IT. WE THOUGHT WE HAD SOME SOME GRAND IDEAS AND GREAT IDEAS THAT WOULD THAT WOULD COMPLY WITH THE EXISTING ZONING, HOWEVER. THINGS CHANGE COVID HAPPENED, WHICH DEVASTATED ANYTHING TO DO WITH OFFICE DEVELOPMENT. SO CHECK THAT BOX DID NOT WORK. UM UH, ALONG WITH COVID, THE TOTAL COLLAPSE OF BRICK AND MORTAR RETAIL DEVELOPMENT WENT ALONG WITH IT, TOO. SO WE HAD PLANS FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS THAT WOULD BE OFFICE IN THE MIDDLE, ALONG WITH A RETAIL COMPONENT ALONG MCKINNEY RANCH ROAD. SO ALONG WITH THAT COLLAPSE OF THAT RETAIL SEGMENT, UH, CHECK THAT BOX. THAT WAS A NONSTARTER, TOO.
UM SO OUR CONCEPTS FOR THOSE PROJECTS WE HAD A GREAT IDEAS. UH, A TWO STORY OFFICE CAMPUS WITH RETAIL COMPONENT LIKE I JUST MENTIONED A LIFE SCIENCE OFFICE CENTER. A DESIGN CENTER BUSINESS PARK TO KIND OF TAKE INTO, UH, THE DESIGN COMMUNITY SO PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO GO DOWN TO DOWNTOWN DALLAS. WE HAD A WHOLE CONCEPT FOR THAT AS WELL. AND THEN A GENERAL FLEX OFFICE IN RETAIL DEVELOPMENT. ALL THOSE WERE SHELVED PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF COVID. AND AS A RESULT, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S NOT MUCH COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND WHAT THERE IS ON MCKINNEY RANCH ROAD IS THE HONOR EVEN OCCUPIED RIGHT NOW, SO THERE'S JUST NO DEMAND FOR THAT COMMERCIAL COMPONENT.
SO WE DID PIVOT, THOUGH, TO GO TO THE FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT, UM, SECTOR, WHICH WE MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO TRY TO ATTRACT PEOPLE AMONG THOSE CHICKEN AND PICKLE. WE WERE TALKING THE CHICKEN PICKLE A LONG TIME AGO, AND OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE OVER AT THE FARM IN ALLEN. UM WE ALSO TALKED TO TIGER WOODS, UH, POP STROKE, WHICH IS A MINI GOLF, UH, KIND OF A TOP GOLF, UH, TAKE OFF ON ON MINIATURE GOLF. AND WE WERE REJECTED ON THAT ON THAT PLATFORM, TOO. UM WE TALKED THE MAIN EVENT WE TALKED TO, UH UH, BOWLING CENTER. ANYTHING TO TRY TO HAVE A MAIN TENANT WHERE WE COULD BUILD AROUND THAT AND JUST WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS, UNFORTUNATELY, THE LAST PART OF THE FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT IS WE DEVELOPED THE CONCEPT FOR A 200,000 SQUARE FOOT ATHLETIC, MULTI USE COMPLEX. AND THE IDEA IS THAT WE COULD ATTRACT VOLLEYBALL LEAGUES AND BASKETBALL LEAGUES AND HAVE A RETAIL AND MAYBE A COMMERCIAL COMPONENT THAT WOULD GO ALONG WITH THAT CENTER AND AGAIN THAT WAS NOT FINANCIALLY VIABLE. AND. ALL THESE REJECTIONS, BASICALLY ON THE FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT WERE BECAUSE OF TWO PRIMARY THINGS. VISIBILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY.
THE SITE JUST DOES NOT HAVE THAT FOR THOSE REASONS, AND THAT'S WHY WE WERE REJECTED. UM WE THINK AFTER GOING THROUGH THIS FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS THAT NOW THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE IS WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT HERE FOR THE ENTIRE AREA, AND A LOT OF THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE ROAD BEING COMPLETED. AND WITH THE, UH, THE PARK AREA, TOO, SO WE SUPPORT THIS. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE TOOK EVERY ENDEAVOR TO TRY TO UNLOCK THAT. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, MR GILLETTE FOR BEING HERE.
