WE'RE GOOD. GOOD EVENING. AT 6:00. I'M SORRY. 5:30 P.M. WELCOME TO THE CITY OF MCKINNEY'S PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF TUESDAY, JUNE THE 11TH, 2024, THIS IS A WORK SESSION REPORTING AGENDA ITEM. TONIGHT. THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMEONE IN THE AUDIENCE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS PLANNING AND ZONING REGARDING A NON PUBLIC HEARING ITEM. ANYONE HERE? NOPE NOPE. VERY GOOD. WE'LL MOVE ON. FIRST ITEM ON THE WORK SESSION AGENDA
[Planning and Zoning Commission Training Series]
IS 24-00066 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION TRAINING SERIES. MR. PALMER.YEAH AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO BE GONE FOR. WE'LL COME BACK AND GIVE YOU GUYS SOME MORE TRAINING. SO TODAY. WE'LL GET THOSE ANSWERED. OKAY. THERE WE GO. THAT'S BETTER. ALL RIGHT. SO LET'S GET LET'S GET START IT, IF MY CLICKER WILL AGREE WITH ME. LET'S SEE. SLIGHT TECHNICAL. ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO. THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. SO FOR US, OUR SITE PLANS. SO OUR SITE PLANS, WE GET THE AUTHORITY THROUGH CHAPTER 211 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE. AND THEN FOR OUR CITY OF MCKINNEY, CODES AND ORDINANCES, CHAPTER 150. AND THEN THAT IS WITH THE SECTION 203 OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE THAT ALLOWS US TO GRANTS THE AUTHORITY TO REVIEW AND APPROVE SITE PLANS INSIDE OF THEIR SECTION OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE AT A STAFF LEVEL. OKAY IN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. SO WHAT IS THE SITE PLAN? SO THE SITE PLAN IS GOING TO BE THE FIRST THING THAT WE SEE HERE AT THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, OUTSIDE OF IF WE GET A PREDEVELOPMENT IN, WE GET TO SEE THE SITE AND IT'S GOING TO ENTAIL OR IT'S GOING TO SHOW US ALL THE DIFFERENT GRAPHICS, WHICH SHOWS BUILDINGS OR ANY TYPE OF INFRASTRUCTURE AS WELL AS DRIVEWAYS, PARKING, LANDSCAPING, ALL THOSE ITEMS THAT'S GOING TO BE AT A SITE FOR DEVELOPMENT WHENEVER WE'RE ON A ON A PARCEL OF LAND. OKAY. BUT LIKE I SAID, IT'S GOING TO BE THE TYPICALLY THE FIRST TIME WE SEE A SITE THAT COMES IN FOR DEVELOPMENT. OR ARE WE GOOD? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR IS THAT SITE PLAN IS GOING TO ENSURE THAT IT'S CONFORMING WITH ALL OF OUR ZONING REQUIREMENTS. AND IT'S GOING TO PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELFARE AS WELL AS FACILITATE ADEQUATE DEVELOPMENT OF FOR THE THROUGHOUT THE CITY. SO SITE PLANS AND APPROVALS. SO WHAT SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS ARE WE LOOKING FOR AS FAR AS WHEN YOU'RE WHEN YOU'RE TURNING IN A SITE PLAN FOR REVIEW FOR US. SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE SITE PLAN EXHIBIT ITSELF, WHICH IS GOING TO CONSIST OF THAT SITE PLAN THAT SITE PLAN SUBMITTAL DOCUMENT, A LANDSCAPE PLAN, TREE PRESERVATION PLANS, IF THOSE ARE NEEDED FOR SITE PLAN, IF IT'S GOING TO BE IN A HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA, A PRELIMINARY UTILITY PLAN AND DRAINAGE PLAN. THE LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, THE APPROVAL BODY IS GOING TO BE THE STAFF, AND SO IT'S ABLE TO BE APPROVED AT A STAFF LEVEL UNLESS THERE IS SOME TYPE OF PLAN DEVELOPMENT OR THAT'S GOING TO TRIGGER IT TO GO BEFORE AN APPROVAL BODY, WHICH WILL BE, OF COURSE, YOU ALL OR THE CITY COUNCIL OR IF THEY'RE LOOKING TO GO FOR A DESIGN EXCEPTION OR SOME TYPE OF VARIANCE THAT'S GOING TO TRIGGER IT TO GO BEFORE AN APPROVAL BODY AS WELL. OKAY.
AND THOSE SITE PLANS ARE TYPICALLY GOING TO TAKE 3 TO 6 MONTHS ON AVERAGE TO BE APPROVED. OKAY SO THE ELEMENTS OF OUR SITE PLAN ARE GOING TO BE THE LAND USE IN WHICH THAT'S GOING TO BE THE USES THAT'S GOING. THEY'RE GOING TO BE APPLYING FOR. SO THAT CAN BE ANY
[00:05:05]
TYPE OF USE THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR, WHETHER IT'S A DAYCARE OR A MINOR VEHICLE REPAIR, WHATEVER THE USE IS THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THE ZONING, WHETHER THAT'S ANY ONE OF OUR ZONING USES THAT WE HAVE THROUGHOUT THE CITY WHERE THERE'S R-6, IT'S A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. IT'S A ANY OF THE ZONING DISTRICTS THAT WE TYPICALLY HAVE, IT'S GOING TO BE ACCESSING CIRCULATION, PARKING, SCREENING REQUIREMENTS AND LANDSCAPING STANDARDS. RODERICK. EXCUSE ME. RODERICK YES, CAN YOU GO OVER SCREENING REQUIREMENTS A LITTLE BIT FOR DIFFERENT PROPERTIES OR DIFFERENT AREAS THAT ARE LOCATED IN SURE. SCREENING REQUIREMENTS? YES, SIR. SO WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO TOUCH ON THOSE IN JUST A BIT. CAN WE HOLD OFF ON THAT OR DO YOU WANT ME TO JUMP INTO THAT JUST NOW. YEAH. NO. GO AHEAD OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO LAND USE AND ZONING IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO START WITH RIGHT NOW. SO FOR OUR SITE PLAN. SO THOSE ARE GOING TO BE LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, ANY TYPE OF THE LAND USES THAT WE HAVE THAT'S GOING TO BE INSIDE OF OUR TABLE OF USES. SO IN THIS INSTANCE THAT I HAVE MARK FOR YOU RIGHT NOW IS GOING TO BE FOR DAYCARES, WHICH ARE GOING TO BE IDENTIFIED IN OUR C ONE, WHICH IS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT. SO AS YOU CAN SEE THIS IS IDENTIFIED WITH OUR ADDITIONAL CRITERIA. THAT'S GOING TO BE LISTED HERE IN WHICH THAT ADDITIONAL CRITERIA IS GOING TO TELL YOU THAT IT HAS TO BE SO FAR AWAY FROM UNDERGROUND, FUEL TANKS. OKAY SO THAT'S THE LAND USE THAT'S GOING TO BE IDENTIFIED FOR THE DAYCARES FOR HERE. OKAY. AND THAT'S WITHIN THE C ONE ZONING DISTRICT. AND IT HAS A SETBACK, ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS WELL. SO IT'S GOING TO HAVE A MINIMUM SETBACK FOR THAT C ONE ZONING DISTRICT OF 20 20FT. SO ADDITIONALLY ON OUR SITE PLANS WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR ACCESS AND CIRCULATION. ALTHOUGH OUR ENGINEERING PARTNERS TEAM IS GOING TO BE THE ONES WHO GENERALLY REGULATE THIS, WE ALSO LOOK AT THIS AS WELL. SO IT'S GOING TO HAVE DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DRIVEWAYS AS WELL AS THE ACCESS POINTS AND FIRE REQUIREMENTS IN WHICH OUR FIRE TEAM IS GOING TO ENSURE THAT IT MEETS ADEQUATE, DISTANCES FOR ALL OF OUR UTILITIES AND FOR REGULATION FOR THAT. OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT PARKING REQUIREMENTS.THIS IS GOING TO BE FOR OUR USES. THAT'S GOING TO BE MENTIONED THAT THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO BE APPLYING FOR ON THE SITE PLANS. AS MENTIONED ON OUR TABLE OF USES. SO THIS CAN BE BASED ON THE SIZE OF THAT ITEM AS WELL AS USE BASED PARKING AS WELL. SO IT CAN GO OFF OF SQUARE FOOTAGE. IN THIS INSTANCE WE'RE LOOKING AT THE EXAMPLE FOR A ANIMAL CARE, ANIMAL CARE AND SERVICES, WHICH IS GOING OFF OF SQUARE FOOTAGE. BUT WE DO HAVE ITEMS SUCH AS SCHOOLS, WHICH IS GOING TO GO OFF OF A CLASSROOM, AND THAT WILL BE A IT MAY BE SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS A, THREE, THREE, THREE PARKING SPACES PER CLASSROOM, AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL STACKING SPACES, WHICH MAY BE REQUIRED AS WELL FOR AS PARKING IS CONCERNED. I KNOW APARTMENTS ARE TWO PARKING SPACES PER UNIT.
WHAT ARE SOME OTHER EXAMPLES OF REQUIREMENTS OF PARKING AS FAR AS SOME OF OUR REQUIREMENTS? YEAH, FOR OTHER TYPES OF BUSINESSES. WELL LIKE I MENTIONED IT CAN BE BASED OFF OF THE USE OR IT CAN BE BASED OFF OF A CLASSIFICATION. SO WE DO HAVE OTHER ARE LARGER TYPE OF USES OR IT CAN BE IN CONJUNCTION AS FAR AS A, IF YOU HAVE A MULTI-USE MULTI-USE FACILITY THEN YOU CAN GROUP THOSE TOGETHER AND IT CAN GO OFF OF A MORE OF A, MULTI-TENANT TYPE OF USE SO WE CAN THOSE CAN BE A 1 TO 250 SQUARE FOOTAGE. OH, WHAT AM I WHAT AM I TRYING TO TELL YOU? IT CAN BE A 1 TO 250, SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR EACH PARKING SPACE AS WELL, OR THAT'S GOING TO BE FOR ANY TYPE OF OUR USES OR BASED OFF OF LIKE I SAID, MENTIONED THE, THE USE OR THE I'M SORRY OR THE, THE TYPE OF SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR THAT PARTICULAR USE. SO LET ME I HAVE TO GET BACK LET ME SEE THE TRYING TO THINK EXACTLY A SPECIFIC USE THAT WOULD TRIGGER A DIFFERENT PARKING RATIO. SO ANOTHER EXAMPLE WOULD BE DAYCARES. WE BASE IT OFF OF CLASSROOMS OR SCHOOLS WOULD BE BASED OFF OF THE NUMBER OF CLASSROOMS, MEDICAL OFFICE IS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT THAN OUR REGULAR OFFICE. MEDICAL OFFICE IS ONE PER 400. I'M SORRY, ONE PER 300. THANK YOU. JAKE, MEDICAL OFFICE WILL BE 300, BUT REGULAR OFFICE WILL BE 400.
[00:10:07]
RODERICK JUST DID THE SHOPPING CENTER RATIO AT 250, IT REALLY JUST DEPENDS ON THE USE. AND, LIKE, IF IT'S A MULTI-TENANT, LIKE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, THERE'S NEVER ANY SHARED PARKING CONSIDERATION, IS THERE? THERE ACTUALLY IS, WE DO, SO IF IT'S A MULTI-TENANT SHOPPING CENTER, WE ACTUALLY DO A BLENDED PARKING RATIO RATE THAT IS, GIVES FOLKS THE ABILITY TO MOVE TENANTS IN AND OUT WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY SO MUCH ABOUT IN THE PAST, WE USED TO MAKE THEM TELL US EXACTLY THE TENANTS THAT WERE COMING IN, AND WE WOULD CALCULATE THE RATIO BASED ON EACH TENANT. SO TWO RESTAURANTS, ONE RETAIL, ONE OFFICE, ALL INDEPENDENT PARKING RATIOS.WE'VE SINCE BLENDED THOSE RATIOS SO THAT THOSE MULTI-TENANT, SHOPPING CENTERS, HAVE A RATIO THAT SORT OF COVERS ALL THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF USES THAT MAY OR MAY NOT COME IN THROUGH THERE, WE ALSO HAVE SHARED PARKING BETWEEN PEAK HOURS. SO FOR EXAMPLE, AN OFFICE, MAYBE THERE'S A SHOPPING CENTER THAT HAS AN OFFICE DEVELOPMENT, BUT ALSO HAS, RESTAURANT OR MAYBE EVEN LIKE A BOWLING ALLEY. WE ALLOW THEM TO SHARE PARKING, OFF THOSE PEAK HOURS BECAUSE AN OFFICE IS TYPICALLY DURING THE DAY, MAYBE A BOWLING ALLEY, THEIR PEAK IS IN THE EVENING, SO THEY GET THE BENEFIT OF THAT. SO THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WAYS THAT WE, TRY AND HELP FOLKS SHARE WITH PARKING OR GET THE BENEFIT OF BEING WITHIN A SHOPPING CENTER, BUT THERE ARE SOME LIMITS ON THAT. AND I DID WANT TO NOTE, TOO, THAT THE PARKING RATIOS THAT ARE ESTABLISHED IN OUR ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING ORDINANCES AROUND THE STATE, WE DON'T PICK THOSE OUT OF THIN AIR. WE ACTUALLY REFER TO THE, IT MANUAL, THE INSTITUTE OF TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERS, THAT THAT IS THEIR THEIR WORLD IS TO IDENTIFY PARKING AND TRIP GENERATION FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF USES. AND THEY GET VERY GRANULAR WITH THAT. AND SO THAT IS HOW WE ACTUALLY ESTABLISH OUR PARKING RATIOS. WE SAY WHAT IS THE IT MANUAL INDICATE FOR THIS TYPE OF USE, WHAT DO OUR SISTER CITIES LOOK AT. WHAT ARE THE WHAT'S THE HISTORY THAT WE'VE EXPERIENCED HERE IN MCKINNEY.
AND THAT'S WHERE WE KIND OF MASSAGE INTO THE RATES THAT WE HAVE. THAT'S GOOD. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO OUR SCREENING, WHICH IS WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR A LITTLE BIT A LITTLE SECOND AGO. SO WE DO LOOK FOR SCREENING REQUIREMENTS ON, ON OUR, ON OUR SITE PLANS AND WHICH THOSE SCREENING ARE GOING TO BE. WE HAVE SPECIFIC SCREENING DEVICES AND THIS IS GOING TO BE FOR OUR COMMERCIAL OF COURSE USES THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. AND THOSE ARE GOING TO BE OUR MASONRY, OUR METAL FENCES WITH OUR MASONRY COLUMNS AS WELL AS OUR LIVING SCREENING AS WELL OUR CONTINUOUS AND ALL SCREENING, LIVING SCREENING. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY TYPE OF, ALTERNATE SCREENING DEVICES THAT YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO APPLY FOR, THEN THOSE WILL BE GOING BEFORE ANY TYPE OF DESIGN EXCEPTIONS THAT YOU'LL BE, THAT YOU'LL WANT TO GO TO APPLY FOR. DID YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC SCREENING QUESTION THAT YOU WANTED TO? CAN YOU TALK ABOUT LIVING SCREENING WHERE IS THAT GOING TO BE USED? THAT'S GOING TO THAT'S GOING TO BE USED TO JUST BY ITSELF AS FAR AS IN ANY PARTICULAR ZONING DISTRICT OR. YEAH, WHERE WOULD YOU USE LIVING SCREENING BY ITSELF AND NOT HAVING MASONRY COMBINATION WITH LIVING OR WHATEVER? WELL YOU CAN APPLY FOR THAT IN MULTIPLE DIFFERENT AREAS. IT WOULD JUST BE ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT YOU WOULD BE SHOWING US IN USING THAT PARTICULAR SCREENING, THE SCREENING, I GUESS THE SCREENING DEVICE AS, AS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING TO USE FOR AS FAR AS A PARTICULAR SITE OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE, THEN I DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC SPACE TO SHOW YOU RIGHT NOW, BUT THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT WE DO, APPROVE. I JUST DON'T HAVE A SITE RIGHT NOW FOR YOU. YEAH, I DON'T REMEMBER US DOING A LIVING SCREENING, ONLY, WE HAD A SITE THAT WAS ON 380 AND CUSTER, THE NORTH SOUTHEAST CORNER THAT HAD A CREEK. THAT'S CORRECT. ALONG THE EASTERN BOUNDARY WITH HEAVILY TREED, TYPICALLY OR NOT TYPICALLY IN THE CODE WE ACTUALLY SPELL OUT WHEN LIVING SCREENING CAN BE APPROVED BY RIGHT AT THE STAFF LEVEL. AND IT'S WHEN IT'S ADJACENT TO A DEDICATED FLOODPLAIN. AND ESTABLISHED GROVE OF TREES THAT ARE PART OF AN EASEMENT OR DEDICATED. AND THERE ARE SOME EXCEPTIONS IN CAPE MAY HAVE TO CHIME IN. AND IF I'M WRONG, WHERE IF THERE IS A SCREENING WALL ON THE ADJACENT PROPERTY ALREADY WHERE THEY'RE ALLOWED TO JUST USE LIVING SCREENING INSTEAD OF HAVING TO PUT UP ANOTHER SCREENING WALL, BUT THAT THOSE WOULD BE THE CASES TYPICALLY, LIVING SCREENING WON'T COME TO PNC BECAUSE THE
[00:15:06]
ORDINANCE CLEARLY DEFINES WHEN IT'S PERMITTED AND WHEN IT'S NOT. SO SOMETIMES YOU'LL GET A VARIANCE REQUEST FOR A DIFFERENT MATERIAL, OR MAYBE INSTEAD OF USING AN EVERGREEN SHRUB, PER OUR CODE, THEY MAY WANT TO TRY AND USE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF PLANT THAT WOULD COME TO THE PNC BOARD AS A DESIGN EXCEPTION. YOU WERE ACTUALLY COMPLETELY CORRECT. JENNIFER ON THE LOCATIONS AND THE ABILITY TO GET DESIGN EXCEPTIONS FOR THOSE, GENERALLY SPEAKING, FOR SCREENING, WE SCREENED TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. WE THERE ARE CERTAIN USES THAT HAVE TO BE SCREENED FROM EACH OTHER. SO COMMERCIAL OR YES, COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL AND INDUSTRIAL TO RESIDENTIAL ALWAYS REQUIRES SCREENING WHEN THOSE PROPERTIES ARE DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO EACH OTHER AND DIRECTLY ADJACENT MEANS A SHARED PROPERTY LINE. SO IF THERE IS A STREET OR AN ALLEY OR A DEDICATED RIGHT OF WAY IN BETWEEN THOSE, WE DON'T REQUIRE THE SCREENING. AND THEN WE ALSO REQUIRE SCREENING FOR WHAT WE CALL SITE FEATURES. SO BAY DOORS , LOADING SPACES, OPEN STORAGE, THOSE ARE WHAT WE THOSE AREN'T A USE, SO TO SPEAK. THEY'RE A FEATURE OF A SITE. AND A LOT OF THOSE REQUIRE SCREENING AS WELL, AROUND WHERE THOSE OPERATIONS ARE HAPPENING, AUTO REPAIR IS A GREAT EXAMPLE. A LOT OF TIMES AUTO REPAIR FACILITIES HAVE, WRECKED VEHICLES OR VEHICLES THAT ARE THERE AWAITING REPAIR. WE ACTUALLY REQUIRE THEM TO SHOW WHERE THOSE VEHICLES WILL BE STORED ON SITE OVERNIGHT, AND WE REQUIRE THEM TO SCREEN THOSE SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE A BUNCH OF WRECKED VEHICLES SITTING IN FRONT OF AN AUTO REPAIR FACILITY . SO THAT'S HOW WE LOOK AT SCREENING ON THOSE SITE PLANS. IT'S USE USE SCREENING THAT'S REQUIRED. AND THEN THE SITE FEATURES, IF THEY HAVE A SITE FEATURE THAT REQUIRES SCREENING, THAT'S WHAT WE'LL BE LOOKING FOR . THANK YOU. RICK I HAVE A QUESTION. SO REGARDING THE APPROVED SCREENING DEVICES, ARE THEY THE SAME FOR THE HISTORIC OVERLAY OR HISTORIC DISTRICT OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT HAS DIFFERENT SCREENING DEVICES THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR THE FOR THE HISTORIC DISTRICT IN DOWNTOWN OR THE HISTORIC OVERLAY? CAN THEY USE THESE SAME APPROVED SCREENING, OR DO THEY HAVE A SEPARATE LIST OF APPROVED SCREENING DEVICES? THOSE ARE GOING TO BE THE SAME TYPE OF SCREENING DEVICES, MTC DOES HAVE VERY SPECIFIC SCREENING REQUIREMENTS, BUT THEY WOULD USE THE SAME DEVICES. YES. AND GO AHEAD. I HAVE A QUESTION. WE HAD A LOT OF OLD, JUST LIKE GAS STATIONS OR WHATEVER THAT'S BEEN TURNED INTO ALTERNATIVE USES. AND CASE IN POINT IS ONE RIGHT THERE ON SERVICE ROAD OF 75 AND WHITE STREET, AND IT USED TO BE A VALERO STATION. AND NOW IT'S.WHY ARE YOU SHAKING YOUR HEAD, JIM? I KNOW THE ONE. IT SEEMED TO BECOME MORE OF A CAR REPAIR PLACE THAT CARS ARE OUT THERE, IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE A CAR LOT. SO DO THEY HAVE TO? WELL, SO.
YEAH THEY WOULD, YOU KNOW, THE ONCE YOU CHANGE FROM ONE USE TO ANOTHER, IT DOES TRIGGER THE RE REVIEW AND THE NEW APPLICATION OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. UNFORTUNATELY, WE'RE A GROWING CITY AND WE HAVE ONLY LIMITED STAFF DEDICATED TO CODE ENFORCEMENT. SO A LOT OF TIMES UNCOVERING WHERE A USE MAY BE HAS TURNED OVER AND HASN'T NECESSARILY COME TO THE CITY YET. OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT TEAM IS THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE THERE TO HELP US FOR THAT. SO, WE HAVE A SAYING INSIDE OF OUR OFFICE, SOS SEE IT, OWN IT SOLVENT. SO IF YOU SEE IT AND YOU ARE QUESTIONING WHETHER OR NOT THAT IS ACTUALLY PERMITTED THROUGH THE CITY, CALL OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT TEAM AND SAY, HEY, WE'D LOVE TO SEE YOU. GO CHECK THIS OUT AND, IF CODE ENFORCEMENT FINDS THAT THERE ACTING OUT OR OPERATING OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH ZONING OR PERMITTING OR CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY, THEY'LL GO HELP GAIN COMPLIANCE. SO THAT'S LIKELY WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH THERE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. COOL. AND AS FAR AS THE EXHIBITS, THIS IS ACTUALLY ONE OF WHAT JENNIFER ACTUALLY MENTIONED AS FAR AS THIS IS A THESE ARE BAY DOORS THAT ARE HERE AND IT HAS SCREENING THAT IS SHOWN ON THE EXHIBIT THAT'S HERE. SO YEAH, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE YELLOW IS. THAT'S WHERE THEIR BAY DOORS ARE. AND THAT GREEN THAT'S HIGHLIGHTED. THAT'S THE SCREENING DEVICE FROM LAKE FOREST. SO IF YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN LAKE FOREST, THAT'S THE REASON THAT WE WOULD REQUIRE THAT OR ASK FOR THAT. ALL RIGHT.
SO ALL OF OUR LAND ON ALL OF OUR SITE PLANS, WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR LANDSCAPING, THE LANDSCAPING ITEMS, OF COURSE, WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR THE THEY'RE GOING TO INCLUDE LANDSCAPE BUFFER REQUIREMENTS. TREE RATIO REQUIREMENTS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ON THERE, AS
[00:20:02]
WELL AS PARKING AREA REQUIREMENTS ALSO. AND THOSE ARE GOING TO, YOU KNOW, LANDSCAPING AREAS. THE BUFFERS ARE GOING TO BE AROUND THE AROUND THAT SITE PLAN, THE TREE RATIOS AND THE PARKING AREA. OF COURSE, DEPENDING ON HOW MANY PARKING SPACES ARE GOING TO BE THERE, EACH TREE, EACH PARKING SPACE IS GOING TO BE WITHIN 65FT OF A, TREE FOR THOSE PARKING SPACES.OKAY I'M SORRY, COULD YOU GO OVER THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER REQUIREMENTS A LITTLE BIT MORE IN DETAIL? AND THE TREE RATIO REQUIREMENTS? OH ABSOLUTELY. SO DEPENDING ON AS FAR AS THE LANDSCAPING BUFFERS. SO DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE OR WHICH BUFFER WE'RE REFERRING TO.
SO YOU HAVE THE STREET THE STREET BUFFERS, YOU HAVE THE ADJACENCY BUFFERS AS WELL. SO THE STREET BUFFER DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE ROAD THAT IS THE SITE IS ADJACENT TO, THEN THAT BUFFER CAN BE LARGER OR SMALLER AS WELL AS THE ADJACENCY BUFFER. IF IT'S NEXT TO A RESIDENTIAL AREA THEN IT WOULD HAVE A RESIDENTIAL ADJACENCY, BUFFER. THAT'S GOING TO BE A REQUIREMENT. AND IT ALSO IF THERE IS A, A PARKING PARKING SPACES OR ANY TYPE OF DRIVE AISLES THAT'S GOING TO BE NEAR A PROPERTY LINE, THEN IT WILL HAVE AN A BUFFER THAT'S GOING TO BE THERE AS WELL. OKAY. IN REGARDS TO THE TREE RATIO REQUIREMENTS, THOSE ARE GOING TO BE, CONTINGENT UPON INSIDE OF THOSE BUFFERS ALSO. SO ALONG THAT THAT STREETSCAPE. SO IT COULD BE A 1 TO 40 THAT'S GOING TO BE REQUIRED ALONG THAT IN THAT LANDSCAPE BUFFER. SO ALONG THE STREET AND THEN ALONG THE RESIDENTIAL ADJACENCY, YOU'LL HAVE THE, THE BUFFER REQUIREMENT OF THE ONE, 230 TREES THAT'S GOING TO BE REQUIRED ALONG THAT AREA. WHAT DOES IT MEAN BY RATIO. THAT'S THE THOSE ARE THE RATIOS THAT'S THERE. WHAT IS IT AGAIN THE ALONG THE STREET OR THE RATIO. YEAH. THE 1 TO 40 STREET TREES. ALONG THAT IN THAT BUFFER THAT'S GOING TO BE 40FT OF STREET FRONTAGE. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A TREE PLANTED. SO WE PLANT A TREE, GO 40FT, PLANT ANOTHER TREE, GO ANOTHER 40FT, PLANT ANOTHER TREE. SO THEY'LL LINE THAT. THAT'S THE RATIO. JUST THE LENGTH. JUST THE LENGTH. YEAH AND THE STREET TREES ARE ALLOWED TO BE CLUSTERED. SO SOMETIMES YOU'LL SEE THE STREET TREES IN CERTAIN AREAS BECAUSE THAT'S TO HELP WITH UTILITIES. MAYBE THERE'S AN OVERHEAD POWER LINE. HOWEVER IN THE ADJACENCY BUFFERS AGAINST THE RESIDENTIAL, THEY ARE REQUIRED TO BE THE ONE PER 40 AND NOT ALLOWED TO BE CLUSTERED. SO JUST A POINT OF CLARIFICATION. THOSE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS WE LOOK AT AT STREET SIDE AND THEN WE CALL IT WELL, WE CALL IT THE PERIMETER BUFFER. SO WHEREVER IT SHARES A BORDER WITH A DIFFERENT TRACT WE DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER IS REQUIRED AND WHAT THE TREE PLANTINGS ARE. SO STREET SIDE AND THEN KIND OF YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT AS A BOX STREET SIDE. AND THEN THE PERIMETER OF IT, WE HAVE LANDSCAPE BUFFER REQUIREMENTS FOR BOTH. BUT THEY'RE, THEY ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT. SO STREET SIDE PROBABLY A 20 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER ON MOST ARTERIAL ROADWAYS, BUT YOU'RE ONLY REQUIRED A TEN FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER AROUND THE PERIMETER. SO WE TYPICALLY SEE LARGER BUFFERS ALONG THAT STREET SIDE THAN WE WOULD ON THE PERIMETER SIDE. NO PROBLEM. AND THEN THE PARKING RATIO IS GOING TO BE ONE ONE TREE FOR EVERY SEVEN PARKING SPACES. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND NOW THIS ONE IS OF COURSE, WHERE YOU GUYS ARE TYPICALLY ARE SEEN IN MOST INSTRUMENTAL AS FAR AS THE DESIGN EXCEPTION PROCESS. OF COURSE THE DESIGN EXCEPTIONS ARE GOING TO COME TO YOU GUYS. YOU'RE GOING TO BE THE FIRST APPROVAL BODY FOR THESE, WHENEVER THERE IS AN APPLICANT THAT'S GOING TO WANT TO DEVIATE FROM ANY TYPE OF, ITEM THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO WHEN IT COMES TO THE LANDSCAPING, STREET BUFFERS, THE TREE PLANTING RATIOS, SCREEN DEVICE MATERIALS, PARKING STUDY REDUCTIONS, DISTANCE AND ORIENTATION REQUIREMENTS FOR LOADING DOCKS AND BASE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS WITHIN THAT H.S.A OR MTC IN ANY TYPE OF ALTERNATE MULTIFAMILY SITE ENHANCEMENTS. SO I WANTED TO JUST TO NOTE REAL QUICK, RODERICK SPELLED THEM ALL OUT. BUT THERE ARE VERY SPECIFIC THINGS WITHIN OUR UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO GET A DESIGN EXCEPTION ON. AND SO, RODERICK JUST WENT THROUGH THE MAJOR LIST, BUT IF YOU GUYS HAD ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE DIFFERENT KINDS OF DESIGN EXCEPTIONS, BUT THOSE WOULD BE THE ONES THAT Y'ALL WOULD SEE COME BEFORE Y'ALL ABOUT ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS IN THE HSA OR MTC. SO IF IT'S GOING TO BE WITHIN OUR HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA OR OUR MTC, LET'S SAY THAT SOMEBODY DOES NOT WANT TO MEET A BUILD TWO ZONE OR BUILD TWO LINE, THEY COULD THEN REQUEST A DESIGN EXCEPTION AND
[00:25:02]
THAT WOULD BE HEARD BY ALL STAFF IS UNABLE THAT STAFF CAN WORK THROUGH, KIND OF LIKE FOR LIVING SCREENING. BUT HOWEVER, WE ARE UNABLE TO APPROVE DESIGN EXCEPTIONS. THAT IS WHY Y'ALL ARE THE APPROVAL BODY. WHAT ABOUT CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS IN THOSE ZONES? THOSE OVERLAYS, CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS? HOW? I'M SO SORRY. OH, DESIGN, IN H.S.A, THEY COULD DEFINITELY COME TO Y'ALL FOR DIFFERENT MATERIALS. H.S.A AND MTC ARE THE ONLY AREAS IN WHICH WE ARE ABLE TO GOVERN THOSE. I MEAN, WHAT ARE THE MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS? WELL, SO WITHIN THE HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA, WE REQUIRE 50% MASONRY, ON NONRESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS, AND THEN WE ALSO PROHIBIT CERTAIN TYPE OF MATERIALS. SO CORRUGATED METAL, FOR EXAMPLE, IS NOT PERMITTED IN THE CITY. STUCCO IS NOT PERMITTED TO BE A PRIMARY MATERIAL. THEY CAN BE SECONDARY MATERIALS. SO WE DO WITHIN OUR CODE WHERE WE HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO REGULATE, BUILDING MATERIALS AND ARCHITECTURAL ELEVATIONS. WE DO. AND THOSE WOULD ALL COME TO YOU IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO DEVIATE AND IT'S NOT, WE DON'T SEE THEM AS MUCH ANYMORE BECAUSE THE HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA IS SO SMALL, AND WITH THE CHANGES IN STATE LAW A FEW YEARS AGO, THE CITY IS NO LONGER, ABLE TO EXERCISE THE BUILDING MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS OUTSIDE OF THAT HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA. SO I HAVE ONE QUESTION. IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S NOT ON THIS LIST THAT YOU'RE SHOWING FOR P AND Z ON THE PRIOR SLIDE, I GUESS THERE'S YOU GOT SEVEN BULLETS THERE OR. YEAH, SEVEN BULLETS. IT'S WHAT DO YOU DO WITH IT IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T FIT THAT DESIGN EXCEPTION THEY HAVE, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF WHAT WE CALL RELIEF VALVES FOR FOLKS, FLEXIBILITY AND APPEALS. SO, DEPENDING ON WHAT IT IS, THEY WOULD HAVE AN APPEAL ROUTE THROUGH OUR BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS, A LOT OF TIMES, IF IT'S A SETBACK ISSUE WHERE THEY CAN'T MEET THE REQUIRED SETBACK OR A BUFFER REQUIREMENT, THEY CAN GO TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND ASK FOR RELIEF. I WILL TELL YOU, THAT'S VERY RARE BECAUSE THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT IS SOLELY LOOKING AT IT BASED ON A HARDSHIP. AND A LOT OF TIMES THAT'S NOT ALWAYS THE CASE, THEN ALSO FOLKS CAN JUST COME IN AND ASK TO REZONE, AND THAT ONE OF THE REASONS WE HAVE SO MANY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS IN THE CITY FOR ZONING IS BECAUSE A LOT OF FOLKS HAVE DONE THAT OVER THE YEARS WHERE THERE'S A SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT, LET'S SAY IT'S THE TREE RATIO REQUIREMENT.YOU KNOW, INSTEAD OF DOING ONE PER 30, THEY WANT TO DO ONE PER 50. OH, THAT'S NOT A GREAT ONE BECAUSE YOU CAN DO A DESIGN EXCEPTION NOW, BUT THEY IF IT'S A REQUIREMENT LIKE THAT WHERE THERE IS NO DESIGN EXCEPTION PROCESS, WE EITHER SAY, HEY, YOU NEED TO MEET THE CODE OR YOU CAN GO THROUGH THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS BASED ON A HARDSHIP, OR YOU CAN PURSUE A REZONING, THOSE ARE REALLY THE THREE MAIN AVENUES, THESE DESIGN EXCEPTIONS THAT YOU SEE HERE TODAY, SEVERAL OF THEM HAVE BEEN ON THE BOOKS, FOR A WHILE, BUT A LOT OF THEM HAVE BEEN REALLY CLEANED UP WITH THE ADOPTION OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE FROM 2022. AND IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE ARE SEEING LESS REZONES IS BECAUSE WE HAVE BUILT IN SUCH GREAT FLEXIBILITY AND OVERSIGHT FOR DESIGN EXCEPTIONS, WITHOUT HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE REZONING PROCESS. IT'S WHY WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF WE DON'T HAVE ANY ITEMS TONIGHT. IT'S WHY WE DIDN'T HAVE A MEETING, A FEW WEEKS AGO, WE LIKE TO THINK THAT IT MEANS THE CODE IS WORKING. THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO, AND THE REZONINGS THAT YOU'RE SEEING NOW ARE TRULY REZONINGS TO MODIFY A LAND USE, ENTITLEMENT AND NOT JUST TO ADJUST A REGULATION THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A VARIANCE PROCESS FOR.
JENNIFER, BACK ON, PARKING STUDY REDUCTIONS, I WOULD SAY THAT STAFF WOULD PROBABLY DENY THOSE ALWAYS, SINCE THERE'S BEEN SO MUCH THOUGHT ABOUT. YES, YES, SO THERE ARE PROBABLY BE 6 OR 7 BUILT IN FLEXIBLE CITY STANDARDS FOR, PARKING REDUCTIONS, WHETHER IT'S THE SHARED PARKING OR THE SHOPPING CENTER RATIO. SO WE FEEL AS THOUGH THERE'S ALREADY A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY WITHIN THE PARKING STANDARDS THAT FOLKS CAN UTILIZE, IF THEY COME IN WITH A PARKING STUDY, WE REALLY ASK FOLKS OR WE ADVISE FOLKS THAT THE PARKING STUDY NEEDS TO SHOW THAT YOUR USE IS UNIQUE, NOT THAT YOU, AS THE USER, ARE UNIQUE. AND THE EXAMPLE THAT I'LL GIVE IS GOODY GOODY IS A GREAT EXAMPLE FOR US. IT IS A RETAIL ESTABLISHMENT ALL DAY, EVERY DAY. AND I KNOW THAT ABOUT A YEAR OR TWO AGO WE WERE TALKING WITH THEM A LOT ABOUT THEM SAYING WE HAVE SUCH HIGH TURNOVER, WE DON'T NEED AS MUCH PARKING. AND THAT MAY BE VERY TRUE FOR GOODY GOODY, BUT THAT IS A USER AND THERE'S NOT A LOT OF GUARANTEE THAT THAT USER IS THERE FOREVER. RIGHT? GOODY
[00:30:05]
GOODY IS GREAT, I'M SURE THEY'LL BE SUCCESSFUL, BUT 15 YEARS FROM NOW, IT MAY NOT BE A GOODY GOODY IN WHICH CASE IT'S STILL A RETAIL ESTABLISHMENT. AND SO THAT PARKING STUDY, IT'S NOT PROVING THAT YOU AS THE USE ARE UNIQUE, IT'S THAT YOU AS THE USER ARE UNIQUE AND IT DOESN'T REALLY MEET THE MERITS OF THAT REDUCTION OUTLET. JENNIFER, WHAT TYPES OF THINGS FALL UNDER THE ALTERNATIVE MULTIFAMILY SITE ENHANCEMENT? SO WITHIN THE ZONING ORDINANCE, WE HAVE A SET LIST. IT'S LIKE 16, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A POOL THAT MEETS A CERTAIN SIZE DOG PARK, EV CHARGING STATION. SO IT'S VERY SPECIFIC LIST. AND SOMETIMES FOLKS DO SOMETHING THAT'S DIFFERENT. SO IT COULD BE , WE DON'T GET VERY MANY THAT ARE DIFFERENT. OUR LIST IS VERY COMPREHENSIVE. FIVE MINIMUM, IT DEPENDS ON HOW MANY UNITS YOU HAVE. SO IT'S A GRADUATED SCALE.SO THE LOWER THE NUMBER OF UNITS YOU HAVE FOR YOUR MULTIFAMILY, THE LESS SITE ENHANCEMENTS YOU HAVE TO HAVE, BUT SOMETIMES IT'S INSTEAD OF, LET'S SAY THEY WANT TO DO A BOWLING ALLEY, RIGHT? I MADE THAT UP. BUT IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S DIFFERENT THAT WE DIDN'T ANTICIPATE WITHIN THAT SET LIST, THEY CAN ABSOLUTELY COME AND ASK FOR SOMETHING THAT'S MORE YOU, LET'S SAY PICKLEBALL. YOU KNOW, BACK BEFORE PICKLEBALL BECAME SO COMMON, THAT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ON OUR, AMENITIES LIST FOR MULTIFAMILY, AND SOMEBODY WOULD HAVE WANT TO COME IN AND SAY, WELL, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A PICKLEBALL COURT. LET'S LET THAT SATISFY SOME OF THOSE AMENITY REQUIREMENTS. IT WOULD COME HERE, THAT'S PROBABLY THE BEST EXAMPLE THAT I COULD THINK OF.
WE DON'T HAVE AS FAR AS I KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE ANY REQUIREMENT FOR A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF ANY TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT TO HAVE A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF GREEN SPACE. NOT NOT DIRECTLY. WE DON'T WE DO HAVE STANDARDS THAT THERE HAS TO BE A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF THE SITE HAS TO BE LIVING LANDSCAPING. AND AN AND A PERVIOUS SURFACE. BUT THERE IS NO HARD AND FAST REQUIREMENT FOR DEDICATED OPEN SPACE THAT'S TRULY, YOU KNOW, PRESCRIBED AS OPEN SPACE THAT PEOPLE CAN GO IN AND RELAX IN. RIGHT. AND A LOT OF TIMES WHERE WE SEE THAT LIVING LANDSCAPING, IT'S IN THERE. TREE WELLS AND THE, THE PARK, THE END OF THE PARKING ROW WHERE THEY'VE GOT THEIR TERMINUS ISLANDS OR ALONG THEIR LANDSCAPE BUFFER. THAT'S TYPICALLY WHERE WE'RE GOING TO SEE IT. I KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING THAT FRISCO HAS RECENTLY STARTED DOING. I BELIEVE IT'S 10% OF THEIR PLANS TO INCORPORATE A FLEX GREEN SPACE. THAT'S INTERESTING. SO THEY'VE SAID THAT IT'S KIND OF, MADE THEIR DEVELOPERS WHO ARE COMING IN HAVE TO BE A LOT MORE CREATIVE. YEAH BRING A BETTER QUALITY OF DEVELOPER TO THE CITY AS WELL. BUT I KNOW THAT'S BEEN KIND OF A COMPLAINT OF FRISCO.
THERE HASN'T BEEN A LOT OF GREEN SPACE, AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS INTERESTING. INTERESTING. WE'LL HAVE TO LOOK INTO THAT. THAT'S INTERESTING. ALL RIGHT. SO CONTINUING ALONG WITH OUR PROCESSES. SO WHEN DO WE GET THE DESIGN EXCEPTIONS OR THE APPLICATIONS FOR THE DESIGN EXCEPTION. SO THESE WILL COME IN ALONG WITH OUR SITE PLAN WITH OUR SITE PLAN WHENEVER THEY'RE APPLYING FOR THE SITE PLANS, OUR APPLICANTS ARE APPLYING FOR THE SITE PLANS. SO WE'LL GET THAT REQUEST IN, WE'LL, WE'LL REVIEW THOSE SITE PLANS OR THOSE, THOSE, THOSE DESIGN EXCEPTION APPLICATIONS, AND THEN WE'LL TRY TO GET THOSE SCHEDULED. THE EARLIEST AS POSSIBLE. AS FAR AS THERE WILL BE SOME BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE SITE PLANS, THE DESIGN EXCEPTIONS, ENSURING THAT WE CAN GET THEM ON SCHEDULE WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, WHICH IS YOU GUYS, OF COURSE. THEN WE'LL GET THOSE PROPERTY. NOTICE THOSE PROPERTY OWNER NOTICES OUT, GET THEM ON SCHEDULE, ENSURE THAT ALL THOSE NOTICES WENT OUT CORRECTLY, AND THEN WE'LL GET THEM IN FOR THE MEETING. AND THEN WE'LL GET THE MEETING IN THE HEARING ALONG. AND THEN HOPEFULLY THEY'RE ABLE TO GET APPROVED. IF THEY AREN'T ABLE TO GET APPROVED AND IF THEY WANT TO SOMEHOW OR THEY SOMEHOW GET A DENIAL AND THEY WANT TO FIGHT THAT, THEN THEY'RE ABLE TO GO AND GO TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO THEN SEE IF THEY'RE ABLE TO GET SOME TYPE OF DIFFERENT DECISION OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT AT CITY COUNCIL. AND WE'RE NOW AT OUR LAST SLIDE. I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE SAD ABOUT THAT, BUT SO AS FAR AS THEIR DIFFERENT USES WITHIN THE UDC, SO DIFFERENT USES HAVE DIFFERENT CRITERIAS WHICH MAY NEED TO BE MET AND WHICH WE REVIEW THOSE AS WELL. SO FOR INSTANCE OF THAT WOULD BE AS MENTIONED EARLIER, THOSE DAYCARES WHICH MAY HAVE A SPECIFIC DISTANCE REQUIREMENT, OR THE RESTAURANTS WHICH MAY HAVE A AN ADDITIONAL DISTANCE REQUIREMENT TO THOSE ORDER BOARDS OR TELECOMMUNICATION TOWERS AND DRIVE. AND THE FOOD TRUCK COURTS AS WELL, SO IT CAN
[00:35:03]
BE OPERATIONAL OR IT CAN BE DESIGNED OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE. THAT IS IT. DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? WELL, COMMISSIONER TAYLOR HAD A QUESTION AND I'M GOING TO ASK IT FOR HIM. OKAY IS THAT OKAY? SOUNDS GOOD. HE NEVER GIVES US ANY QUESTIONS. SO THAT'S I'M HAPPY TO HEAR. THAT'S WHY HE ASKED ME TO DO IT FOR HIM ON HIS BEHALF. YOU DIDN'T. YOU'RE A LITTLE SHY TODAY. YEAH BUT BACK ON THE PARKING AND THIS IS JUST. IF YOU COULD WALK ME THROUGH THIS. SAY YOU HAD A PLACE LIKE, TUESDAY MORNING OUT HERE ON 75. DO YOU KNOW WHERE THAT'S AT? OKAY OKAY. AND THEY WANTED TO MAKE THAT A HOUSE OF WORSHIP, TURN IT INTO A CHURCH. HOW WOULD YOU FIGURE HOW MANY PARKING SPOTS THEY NEEDED AND HOW WOULD SHARED PARKING WORK? SO IS THAT KIND OF WHAT YOU WANT INCLUDED? THAT'S WHY YOU'RE ASKING THE QUESTION TUESDAY MORNING.TURNING INTO A CHURCH. YEAH SO WE WOULD GO OUT FOR THE SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR THAT, FOR THAT, FOR THAT USE. SO FOR THAT BUILDING OR THAT TENANT SPACE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE GOING INTO, IF THEY'RE NEEDING A SHARED PARKING OR ANYTHING, IF THEY DON'T HAVE ANY ALREADY ALLOCATED PARKING, THEN THEY COULD ENTER INTO A SHARED PARKING AGREEMENT WITH ANY TYPE OF WITH ANY OF THE TENANTS THAT ARE NEAR THEM, THAT HAS AN OVERAGE OF PARKING AT THAT TIME COULD BE A PEAK USE.
ALSO I HAVE A QUESTION IN THIS EXAMPLE, SINCE THAT WAS AN EXISTING BUILDING RATHER THAN A NEW BUILDING, AND THEY JUST THE TENANTS CHANGED. THAT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY BE A PLANNING DEPARTMENT, IT'D BE MORE OF A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. OR AM I WRONG THERE? SO THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT IS A REVIEWER ON ALL CHANGES IN OCCUPANCY. SO WHEN THEY, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE JUST MOVING IN A NEW TENANT, THEY HAVE TO GO GET WHAT WE CALL A CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY PERMIT A COUP. AND WE WOULD REVIEW THAT. AND THE MAIN THING THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN THAT REGARD IS DOES IT MEET THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS? GOOD QUESTION, BRIAN, VERY EASY TO PICK ON OUR CHAIRMAN. I HAD ONE OTHER QUESTION. THIS IS, IN READING IN THE NEWSPAPER ABOUT THE CITY OF DONORE HAVING A LAWSUIT FILED BECAUSE THE SHOT CLOCK. AND THAT'S ONLY IN REGARDS TO PLAY.
THAT'S NOT FOR, LIKE, SITE PLANS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. SO, THOSE THOSE TWO THINGS ARE GOVERNED BY TWO DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE. SO SITE PLANS FALL UNDER 211 AND ZONING AUTHORITY AND THEN PLATS FALL UNDER 212. AND SO THE CHANGES IN STATE LAW WITH THE SHOT CLOCK, FROM 2019, I THINK IT WAS, ONLY PERTAIN TO CHAPTER 212 AND THE PLANNING AUTHORITY. SO IS THERE A LOCATION FOR ALL OF YOUR PLANNING AND ZONING REGULATIONS AND DOCUMENTS, ETC. IS IT IS IT DOES IT FILL A ROOM? I THINK SO, I, I THINK SO WE DO. THAT'S WHEN WE CALL OUR UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE OR OUR UDC. THAT INCLUDES SEVEN ARTICLES, EIGHT IF YOU CAN INCLUDE THE DEFINITIONS. RIGHT. SO SO, THEY'RE ALL IN ONE PLACE AND IT'S NOT JUST SO THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT IS PRIMARILY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE. AND THE ZONING ORDINANCE. BUT WHEN YOU'RE DEVELOPING, YOU'RE ALSO GOING TO BE SUBJECT TO, STORMWATER, REQUIREMENTS. OUR ENGINEERING DESIGN MANUAL, OUR LIGHTING STANDARDS, SIGNS PAGE, ALL OF THOSE ARE ENCAPSULATED IN OUR UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, IT'S A COUPLE HUNDRED PAGES, IS THAT A PUBLICLY AVAILABLE DOCUMENT? NOT THAT I WANT IT. IT IS. YEAH, AND WE I THINK WE EVEN HAVE A QUICK LINK FOR IT. I'LL MAKE SURE. I THINK IT'S MCKINNEY, TEXAS .ORG/ UDC, AND IT SHOULD DROP YOU RIGHT TO THE UDC PAGE. OKAY THAT HELPS. OKAY. THANKS. WHAT WAS THAT? I WAS GOING TO SAY JENNIFER, IT'S ACTUALLY NINE. YOU FORGOT WE ADDED TREE PRESSES. YOU WERE SO RIGHT. YEP.
THAT'S RIGHT. TREE PRESS IS ITS OWN ARTICLE NOW. OKAY YEP. RIGHT THERE UDC. AND IT'LL IT'LL DROP YOU RIGHT HERE AND, AND, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE IN THE WORLD OF DEVELOPMENT, IT IS IT IS COMPLICATED, BUT MAINLY IT'S BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT LAYERS OF REGULATIONS WITHIN ANY CITY THAT MCKINNEY IS VERY MUCH NOT UNIQUE IN THAT WAY , YOU HAVE STREET DESIGN,
[00:40:01]
UTILITY DESIGN, STANDARD DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, BUILDING STANDARDS, LIGHTING STANDARDS, SIGNAGE STANDARDS. SO ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT COMES IN IS INHERENTLY SUBJECT TO ALL OF THOSE THINGS. AND THAT'S WHY IT CAN BE COMPLICATED FOR THEM SOMETIMES, AND IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE'RE HERE TO TRY AND HELP THEM THROUGH THAT PROCESS. ALSO IT'S WHY WE PROVIDE FREE PREDEVELOPMENT MEETINGS FOR ANY SITE THAT SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO COME TALK TO US ABOUT. SO IF YOU KNOW ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO DEVELOP WITHIN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, THAT IS A FREE OFFERING THAT WE DO SO THAT THEY CAN TALK WITH US AND FIRE AND ENGINEERING BUILDING WHOEVER THEY NEED TO TALK TO SEE IF THEIR SITE IS VIABLE FOR WHAT THEY'D LIKE TO DO. AND ADDITIONALLY, IF ANY OF Y'ALL HAVE QUESTIONS YOU COULD ALWAYS ASK ME OR JENNIFER OR ONE OF OUR FANTASTIC PLANNERS. THEY LIVE IN THE CODE. ALL DAY, EVERY DAY, SO THEY'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? RODERICK THANK YOU, THANK YOU.NICE WORK. VERY NICE. WE APPRECIATE YOU GIVING US A REPORT. WE DO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE TO ADDRESS PLANNING AND ZONING ON AN ITEM THAT IS NOT ON THE AGENDA. ALL RIGHT. SEEING NO ONE RUSH TO THE PODIUM, MEMBERS, WE HAVE QUESTIONS, COMMENTS,
