[CALL TO ORDER]
TUESDAY, OCTOBER THE EIGHTH, 2024.THE, UM, THIS IS THE PLANNING AND ZONING WORK SESSION.
THE COMMISSIONS THAT YOU SEE SEATED BEFORE YOU HAVE BEEN APPOINTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL TONIGHT, UH, FOR THIS WORK SESSION, WE HAVE ONE ITEM THAT STAFF WILL BE PRESENTING.
THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE AUDIENCE TO SPEAK, UH, BEFORE THE, UM, PRESENTATION STARTS IF
[PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS (For Non-Public Hearing Items)]
YOU'RE HERE TONIGHT AND WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS PLANNING AND ZONING REGARDING AN ITEM THAT IS ON THE AGENDA, BUT DOES NOT HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING ATTACHED, IF YOU WILL, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM.OH, I NEED TO STATE MY NAME AND ADDRESS STILL.
MY ADDRESS IS 89 0 8 TROLLEY TRAIL, MCKINNEY, TEXAS.
UM, WELL, DO I HAVE A TIME FOR HOW LONG I SHOULD SPEAK? THREE MINUTES.
I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO START OFF BY SAYING I APPLAUD ALL THOSE INVOLVED IN THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO OUR CURRENT MINIMUM PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
THIS FORWARD THINKING AMENDMENT WOULD REDUCE THE BURDEN ON OUR CITY AND DEVELOPERS FROM TWO SPACES PER MULTIFAMILY DWELLING DOWN TO 1.75 SPACES.
I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT IT SHOULD BE OUR GOAL TO REDUCE THAT NUMBER EVEN FURTHER IN THE FUTURE.
DARE I SAY, DOWN TO 1.5 SPACES OR EVEN ONE SPACE PER DWELLING PARKING MINIMUMS BY THEIR NATURE REPRESENT HOW ONEROUS CAR OWNERSHIP IS TO COMMUNITIES, DEVELOPERS, AND INDIVIDUAL CITIZENS.
PARKING REQUIREMENTS REDUCES CITY'S ABILITY TO NOT ONLY BUILD BEAUTIFUL SPACES FOR THE FUTURE, BUT ALSO TO BUILD ADAPTIVELY FOR THAT FUTURE.
THEY REPRESENT A TAX ON THE LAND THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS MUST PAY FOR WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF ACTUAL BENEFIT, YOU CANNOT LIVE, WORK, OR PLAY ON A PARKING SPACE.
ADDITIONALLY, MCKINNEY IS NOT A TWO CAR CITY BY CHOICE.
IT IS THROUGH NECESSITY, BY WAY OF LACKING PUBLIC TRANSIT INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE ARRIVED AT THIS PREDICAMENT.
WE HAVE ALL SEEN HOW MANDATORY PARKING MINIMUMS IN EXCESS OF WHAT IS TRULY NEEDED AND GENDERS FURTHER SPRAWL.
RATHER THAN BRINGING COMMUNITIES CLOSER TOGETHER, IT SEPARATES AND ISOLATES THEM.
ONE DOES NOT NEED TO LOOK FAR TO FIND A PERFECT CASE.
STUDY DALLAS, WHICH WAS ONCE BOOMING WITH PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC THANKS TO 200 MILES OF STREET CAR TRACK, HAS BEEN REDUCED TO A SHELL OF ITS FORMER SELF UNDER THE DEMANDS OF THE AUTOMOBILE.
MORE PEOPLE THAN EVER SHOP ONLINE AND WORK FROM HOME.
SO CREATING SPACES WHERE PEOPLE NOT CARS WANT TO GATHER AND CONNECT IS CRUCIAL TO MAKE OUR CITY A VIBRANT PLACE THAT PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE IN AND ENGAGE WITH.
WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE VISIT DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY? WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE NEAR DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY? IT'S NOT TO OGLE AT OUR PARKING GARAGE, ALTHOUGH IT IS BEAUTIFUL, THEY COME FOR THE CONNECTION THAT ONLY PEDESTRIAN FOCUSED SPACES CAN PROVIDE.
IMAGINE TEARING DOWN WHAT MAKES OUR CITY UNIQUE BY NATURE TO BUILD MORE PARKING.
SURELY THIS IS NOT THE FUTURE WE IMAGINE FOR OURSELVES AS A CITY.
AS LONG AS WE ARE CAR DEPENDENT, WE WILL UNFORTUNATELY NEED PARKING.
HOWEVER, THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
I URGE YOU TO KEEP MCKINNEY BEAUTIFUL BY ADOPTING THIS AMENDMENT TO REDUCE MINIMUM PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR MULTI-FAMILY DWELLINGS.
ANYONE ELSE WISH TO, UM, ADDRESS PLANNING AND ZONING ON A NON-PUBLIC HEARING ITEM TONIGHT? THIS IS OUR WORK SESSION.
[Consider/Discuss Proposed Amendments to the Zoning Regulations of the Unified Development Code (Chapter 150 of the Code of Ordinances)]
UH, NEXT ITEM IS TWO FOUR DASH 2 0 5 5.UH, DISCUSSED A PROPOSED PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING REGULATIONS OF THE UNITED DEVELOPMENT CODE CHAPTER ONE 50 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, MS. SHEFFIELD.
CAITLYN SHEFFIELD, CHIEF PLANNER FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY.
UH, SO THIS EVENING WE WOULD BE, UH, WE WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS WITH YOU SOME PROPOSED AMENDMENTS THAT WE WILL BE BRINGING FOR, UH, BRINGING FORWARD, UH, TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AS WELL AS THE CITY COUNCIL, UH, LATER THIS YEAR.
UM, A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE.
UH, SO THAT NEW, UH, CODE MCKINNEY INITIATIVE, UH, TOOK PLACE IN, UH, NOVEMBER 15TH, 2022.
THAT'S WHEN THE UDC WAS OFFICIALLY ADOPTED.
UM, AND THEN WE'VE HAD FOUR AMENDMENTS TO DATE.
UM, THOSE RANGE FROM, UM, VARIOUS THINGS LIKE SEPTEMBER OF 2023 WAS YEARLY CODE AMENDMENTS.
UH, THOSE WERE AMENDMENTS RELATED SPECIFICALLY TO THE 88TH, UH, LEGIS LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
UM, APRIL TO 2024 WAS FOR SIGN REGULATION AMENDMENTS, AND THEN JUNE, 2024 WAS FOR BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AMENDMENTS.
UM, AS WE MENTIONED, WITH THE ADOPTION OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, THIS IS A LIVING, BREATHING DOCUMENT.
UM, AND SO WE ARE CONSTANTLY LOOKING AT, UM, WHAT THE, UM, MARKET IS SHOWING, WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS ARE SHOWING WITHIN THE AREA, WHAT OTHER CITIES ARE DOING, UM, FOR THEIR CODES, UM, AND BRINGING FORWARD YEARLY AMENDMENTS BEFORE YOU END COUNCIL.
UM, SO PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TYPES, UM, TWO DIFFERENT, UH, CATEGORIES OR BUCKETS.
UH, FIRST IS FINE TUNING, SO WE'RE FIXING SOME TYPOS.
UH, WE'RE REORGANIZING, UM, SOME OF THE, UH, DEFINITIONS FOR AN EXAMPLE, UM, PROVIDING CLARITY ON SOME OF THE LANGUAGE THAT IS EXISTING IN THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE.
UM, AND THE OTHER BUCKET IS MODIFICATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS, SO PROCEDURAL IMPROVEMENTS,
[00:05:01]
UM, IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PROCESSES THAT WE'RE DOING, UM, FOR THESE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.A MODIFIED USE REGULATION, UM, WHICH WE'LL TALK ABOUT LATER OF INTRODUCING A DRONE AMENDMENT TYPE OF USE.
UM, AND THEN ADJUSTMENTS TO OUR TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR, UH, DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN THE CITY.
UM, SO THE THREE MAIN AMENDMENTS THAT WE'D LIKE TO DISCUSS WITH YOU THIS EVENING, FIRST IS THE MULTIFAMILY PARKING RATIO.
SECOND IS THE DRONE DELIVERY USE, UM, THAT WE ARE WANTING TO INTRODUCE.
AND THEN THE THIRD IS LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL PARKING AREAS.
UH, FIRST OFF, FOR THE MULTIFAMILY PARKING, UM, WANTED TO GIVE YOU A SNAPSHOT OF WHAT WE USED TO REQUIRE WITH THE, UM, CHAPTER 1 46.
PRIOR TO THAT UDC ADOPTION IN NOVEMBER, 2022, UM, WE USED TO REQUIRE ONE SPACE PER UNIT PLUS HALF A SPACE PER, UH, EACH BEDROOM.
UM, AND ADDITIONALLY WE ALSO REQUIRED AT LEAST 50% OF THE UNITS HAD AN ENCLOSED PARKING SPACE, UM, AND THAT COULD BE REDUCED DOWN TO 30%.
UH, FOR THE CURRENT UDC THAT WE HAVE, UM, AS OF NOVEMBER, 2022, UH, WE HAVE TWO SPACES PER DWELLING UNITS.
UM, AND THEN THE 30% ENCLOSED IN A REDUCTION, UH, CAPABILITY OF DOWN TO 20%.
UH, FOR THE MULTIFAMILY PARKING RESEARCH, UH, WE DID TWO, UH, OR THREE, EXCUSE ME, UH, DIFFERENT, UM, RESEARCH PROJECTS THROUGHOUT, UM, LOOKING AT THE MULTIFAMILY PARKING RATIO.
SO WE COMPARED IT PRIOR TO OUR CHAPTER 1 46 RATIO, WHICH AGAIN, WAS THAT ONE SPACE PER UNIT PLUS HALF A SPACE PER BEDROOM, UM, TO WHAT WE NOW REQUIRE WITH THAT TWO SPACES, UH, PER DWELLING UNIT.
WITH THE UDC, WHAT WE WERE FINDING IS THAT THE UDC RATIO IS, UH, PR PROVIDING OR, UM, REQUIRING, EXCUSE ME, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT MORE PARKING FOR DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAVE HIGHER ONE BEDROOM UNIT COUNTS.
UM, THE SECOND THING THAT WE LOOKED AT WAS COMPARING IT TO OUR SISTER CITIES REQUIREMENTS.
UM, SO IN THIS CHART HERE, YOU'LL SEE, UH, MCKINNEY PROSPER, FRISCO, SALINA AND ALAN.
UM, MCKINNEY AND ALAN HAVE VERY SIMILAR PARKING RATIOS WITH THE TWO, UH, TWO PER DWELLING UNITS.
UH, PROSPER HAS TWO SPACES PER ONE AND TWO BEDROOM UNITS AND TWO AND A HALF SPACES FOR THREE BEDROOM UNITS.
FRISCO HAS TWO SPACES FOR ONE AND TWO BEDROOMS, AND THEN THREE SPACES FOR, UH, THREE BEDROOM.
AND SELINA HAD A VERY SIMILAR RATIO TO WHAT WE USED TO REQUIRE IN THAT CHAPTER.
1 46 OF ONE AND A HALF SPACES PER BEDROOM OR FOR ONE BEDROOM, TWO SPACES FOR TWO, AND THEN TWO AND A HALF FOR A THREE BEDROOM.
UM, SO THIRD, UM, THING THAT WE DID WITH THIS RESEARCH PROJECT, UM, IS LOOKING AT THE PROJECTS THAT THE SISTER CITIES HAVE RECENTLY DONE.
UM, SO WHAT WE FOUND IS THEY HAVE THESE, UH, PARKING RATIOS THAT I JUST WENT OVER WITH YOU IN THE CHART, BUT WHAT THEY'RE SEEING IS SIMILAR TO MCKINNEY IS THEY'RE ASKING FOR A LOT OF PD OR PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT ZONING REQUESTS TO MODIFY THE PARKING RATIO.
UM, SO ONE OF THE MAIN INITIATIVES WITH UDC AND WHAT WE WERE LOOKING AT IS TO TRY AND LIMIT, UM, THE REQUIREMENT FOR PDS, UH, VIA DESIGN EXCEPTIONS, UM, OR ALTER ALTERNATIVE, UM, APPROVAL METHODS OR THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
UM, BUT WHAT WE'RE FINDING IS THAT FOLKS ARE STILL COMING TO ASK FOR PARKING REDUCTIONS WITH MULTIFAMILY PROJECTS.
UM, SO WHAT WE LOOKED AT OF THE OTHER PROJECTS WITHIN THE SISTER CITIES IS THAT THEY'RE RANGING APPROVALS FROM ONE BEDROOM OR ONE SPACE PER BEDROOM, OR EXCUSE ME, SORRY, ONE TO TWO SPACES PER UNIT.
UM, SO A REMINDER, WHAT WE CURRENTLY REQUIRE IS A TWO SPACES PER DWELLING UNIT.
WHAT STAFF IS PROPOSING, UM, IS 1.75 SPACES PER UNIT.
UH, WE FOUND THAT THAT WAS, UM, AN AVERAGE OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE WERE FINDING WITH OUR SISTER CITIES.
WE FOUND THAT THAT WAS A RATIO THAT WAS, UM, PRETTY, UM, UH, RELEVANT OR EQUIVALENT TO OUR OLD RATIO, UM, WITH THE NEW WAY THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT IT OF PER BEDROOM NOW VERSUS PER UNIT.
UM, SO AGAIN, STAFF IS PROPOSING THE 1.75 FOR MULTIFAMILY PARKING.
ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I MOVE ON FROM THAT? OKAY.
SECOND THING THAT WE'D LIKE TO DISCUSS WITH YOU THIS EVENING IS THE, UH, INTRODUCTION OF A DRONE DELIVERY USE.
UM, SO STAFF IS LOOKING TO, UH, DEFINE THIS AS AN AREA OR A STRUCTURE FOR STAGING OR STORAGE OF ONE OR MORE DRONES.
UM, THIS WOULD BE FOR THE PURPOSE OF DISTRIBUTING COMMERCIAL GOODS AND PRODUCTS, UM, AND THE ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT, UM, WITHIN THAT STAGING OR STORAGE AREA.
UH, STAFF IS LOOKING TO ADOPT THIS AS AN ACCESSORY USE.
SO IT WOULD NOT BE A PRIMARY USE ON A, UH, PROPERTY.
IT WOULD BE AN ACCESSORY TO A USE, SIMILAR TO LIKE A RESTAURANT OR A RETAIL ESTABLISHMENT OR AN A WAREHOUSE, UM, FACILITY.
WE'RE LOOKING TO INTRODUCE THIS AS AN ACCESSORY USE IN THE C ONE, TWO AND THREE COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS AS WELL AS I ONE AND TWO IN
[00:10:01]
THE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS.UH, HOW BIG IS, UH, DRONE SITE ANTICIPATED? UH, SO IT WOULD RANGE, UH, FROM DIFFERENT PROPERTIES.
UM, THE THIS USE STANDARDS IS WHAT WE ARE LOOKING TO ADOPT WITH THE, UM, INTRODUCTION OF THAT USE, UH, THAT WOULD LIMIT, UH, THE SPACE OR THE AREA THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO PROPOSE ON A SITE.
IF THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO MEET THESE PARAMETERS, THEN THEY WOULD COME BEFORE YOU, UM, AND THE COUNCIL WITH A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUEST.
UM, FOR AN ALTER ALTERNATIVE SPACING, HOW MANY, UH, DRONE SITES DO YOU ANTICIPATE MCKINNEY WOULD NEED? UH, SO WE'RE CURRENTLY, UH, WORKING WITH I BELIEVE TWO, THREE, UM, TWO DEVELOPMENTS RIGHT NOW.
UM, WALMART, ONE ON RED BUD, AND THEN ANOTHER WALMART WITHIN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY.
UM, THOSE ARE THE TWO, UH, SITES THAT HAVE APPROACHED US THUS FAR.
SO FOR THE DRONE DELIVERY USE STANDARDS, UH, WE WOULD BE LOOKING TO ADOPT, UM, STANDARDS SUCH AS, UH, SHALL BE LOCATED WITHIN OR SHALL BE LOCATED.
A MINIMUM OF 200 FEET AWAY FROM RESIDENTIAL USE OR ZONE SHALL NOT BE LOCATED IN ANY REQUIRED SETBACKS OR LANDSCAPE BUFFERS.
UM, ANY ENCLOSURES THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING SHALL BE BEHIND THE MAIN PRIMARY STRUCTURE ON THE LOT.
UM, SHALL NOT BE MORE THAN 10% OF THE LOT AREA IF THE STAGING OR STORAGE IS NOT LOCATED ON THE ROOF ITSELF.
UM, IF THERE IS A PROPOSED STORAGE BUILDING FOR THE STORAGE OF THOSE DRONES, UM, IT SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED SIMILAR TO THE MATERIALS IN COLORS OF THAT PRIMARY STRUCTURE.
AND AS I MENTIONED, AGAIN, ANY OF THOSE, UH, FIVE PARAMETERS OR USE STANDARDS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING ON ADOPTING, THEY COULD BECOME BEFORE YOU AND THE PLAN OR THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION, AND THEN ULTIMATELY CITY COUNCIL FOR A MODIFICATION OR ELIMINATION OF THOSE STANDARDS VIA THAT SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR SCREENING OF THE DRONE DELIVERY.
UH, SPECIFICALLY THE STORAGE AREA, UH, WE PUT IT INTO TWO DIFFERENT BUCKETS.
UM, IF THEY'RE PROVIDING THAT ON THE GROUND LEVEL STORAGE, UH, WE'RE PROPOSING THAT IT'S SCREENED FROM PUBLIC VIEW AND FROM RESIDENTIAL, UH, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USER ZONE.
UH, NO EQUIPMENT SHALL BE STACKED HIGHER THAN THE TOP OF THAT SCREENING DEVICE.
UM, IN ANY WALL OPENINGS WITH THAT STORAGE AREA WOULD BE LIMITED TO SIX OR 26 FEET AND WIDTH.
UM, AND WOULD BE REQUIRED TO HAVE AN OPAQUE GATE OR DOOR, UM, FOR THOSE MINIMUM AT LEAST SEVEN FEET IN ALL DISTRICTS, MAXIMUM OF EIGHT FOUR INCHES IN NON-INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS AND A MAXIMUM OF 10 FEET IN INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS.
IF THEY'RE PROPOSING ON HAVING THE ROOF MOUNTED STORAGE AREA, THEN WE'RE ASKING THAT THAT WOULD BE SCREENED FROM PUBLIC VIEW AND ADJACENT SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USER ZONE.
UM, AND THEN THE SCREENING OF, UH, THAT STORAGE AREA WITH ARCHITECTURAL METAL OR ANOTHER MATERIAL THAT'S SIMILAR TO THAT PRIMARY STRUCTURE.
UM, AND THEN ACROSS THE BOARD, A MINIMUM AT LEAST ONE FOOT TALLER THAN THE EQUIPMENT PROPOSED ON THE ROOF.
ALRIGHT, ANY QUESTIONS ON THE DRONE DELIVERY BEFORE I MOVE ON? I DO.
IS THERE ANY, THERE'S NO MENTION OF NOISE AND SO I'M JUST CURIOUS IF THAT'S A, THERE'S A NEED TO CONSIDER ANY SETBACK FOR NOISE? SO THE, UH, THE PROPOSED DRONE DELIVERY USE WOULD FOLLOW OUR PERFORMANCE STANDARDS WITH A NOISE ORDINANCE.
UM, WE, UH, FELT THAT THE BUFFER OF THAT AT LEAST 200 FOOT FROM THE RESIDENTIAL, UH, USER ZONE WOULD ALSO CREATE A BUFFER IN BETWEEN THOSE DIFFERENT USES, BUT IT WOULD STILL FOLLOW OUR TYPICAL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS.
CAITLYN, WERE THERE OTHER CITIES IN THE AREA THAT, UM, STAFF LOOKED AT EITHER AS EXAMPLES OR OTHER TEMPLATES, IF YOU WILL? MM-HMM.
WE LOOKED AT, UM, PLANO BEING OUR PRIMARY, UM, RESEARCH SOURCE.
UM, AND THEN GRAPEVINE OR FORT WORTH.
GRAPEVINE WAS THE OTHER CITY THAT WE LOOKED AT FOR THESE TOO.
DID THEY OFFER ANY CHALLENGES THAT THEY'VE HAD ONCE SOMETHING LIKE THIS WAS IMPLEMENTED? IT'S EASY ON PAPER, RIGHT?
WE'RE, WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT RESEARCHING THAT AND SO IF THERE ARE CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE MADE, UM, THAT'S WHEN WE CAN COME BEFORE YOU AND MAKE THOSE AMENDMENTS AS WELL.
YEAH, AND I THINK CAITLIN HIT IT RIGHT THERE.
UM, IT IS STILL A RELATIVELY NEW MARKET.
UM, AND IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WE WANTED TO INCLUDE IT AS AN ACCESSORY USE WITH THAT ABILITY FOR THIS SPECIFIC USE PERMIT BECAUSE WE MAY RUN INTO A SITUATION THAT WE DIDN'T CAPTURE ON PAPER OR DIDN'T RECOGNIZE YET ON PAPER AND WE DON'T WANT TO SLOW ANYBODY DOWN IF THERE'S A PROCESS THEY CAN FOLLOW TO DEVIATE FROM WHAT WE THOUGHT WE MIGHT BE GETTING WITH THESE KINDS OF, UH, NEW SERVICES.
[00:15:01]
IN FORT WORTH OR GRAPEVINE RIGHT NOW? HAVE THEY STARTED UTILIZING DRONE DELIVERIES OR? TO MY KNOWLEDGE, YES.THEY HAVE A COUPLE PROJECTS IN BOTH CITIES THAT THEY'RE USING THIS, UH, VERY SIMILAR DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THIS.
ALRIGHT, LAST BUT NOT LEAST IS THE LANDSCAPE PARKING AREA REQUIREMENTS.
UH, THIS IS FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL, UM, PROJECTS WITHIN THE CITY.
SO CURRENTLY WE REQUIRE UP TO AT LEAST 50% OF EACH LANDSCAPE AREA LOCATED AT THE END OF THE PARKING ROW, UM, ALSO REFERRED TO AS A TERMINUS ISLAND.
UH, WE REQUIRE THOSE TO HAVE AT LEAST, UM, OR MAY NOT EXCEED 50% OF NON-LIVING MATERIALS.
UM, FOR THOSE, THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS WOULD BE TO ALLOW FOR THE MATERIALS OR THE PERCENTAGE OF NON, UH, NON-LIVING MATERIALS IN THOSE LANDSCAPE AREAS AT THE END OF THE PARKING ROAD COULD BE MODIFIED VIA A DESIGN EXCEPTION.
UM, SO THIS WOULD ALLOW FOR, UM, A DEVELOPER TO COME BEFORE YOU THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, UH, FOR CONSIDERATION OF A, UM, DIFFERENT DESIGN, PARKING, UM, AREA AT THE END OF THE ROAD.
UM, OR IF THEY'RE LOOKING FOR A SUSTAINABILITY PROJECT WITH A DIFFERENT DESIGN THAT EXCEEDS WHAT WE CURRENTLY REQUIRE, UM, FOR THAT MINIMUM OF, OF THE 50% OR MAXIMUM OF 50% NON-LIVING, UM, THIS WOULD ALLOW THAT, UM, AVENUE FOR THE DEVELOPER TO COME FORWARD FOR THAT DESIGN EXCEPTION OPTION.
UH, SO SNIPE BEFORE YOU, THE PLANNING IS ZONING COMMISSION FOR THE WORK SESSION.
UH, WE ARE PROPOSING TO TAKE THE, UH, AMENDMENTS TO, UH, THE CITY COUNCIL ON OCTOBER 15TH FOR WORK SESSION AS WELL.
UH, THE FULL AMENDMENTS WE'RE PROPOSING TO COME BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ON OCTOBER 22ND, AND THEN ULTIMATELY CITY COUNCIL ON NOVEMBER 19TH, UM, FOR ADOPTION.
AND WITH THAT, I WILL STAND FOR ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS.
ANYONE QUESTIONS? SO, CAITLYN, THIS SAME REPORT WILL GO TO COUNSEL NEXT WEEK? THAT IS CORRECT, YES, SIR.
UH, WE ARE ONLY RECEIVING THIS REPORT AND DISCUSSING WE'RE NOT TAKING ANY ACTION.
WE DO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE TO ADDRESS PLANNING AND ZONING ON ANYTHING THAT IS NOT ON THE AGENDA.
THIS IS AGAIN, THE, UH, PLANNING AND ZONING WORK SESSION.
OUR REGULAR P AND Z MEETING WILL START AT SIX, BUT IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH PNZ, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM.
[ADJOURN]
NEED, UM, A MOTION TO ADJOURN MOTION BY MR. LEBO TO ADJOURN.UH, IT IS 5 51 AND WE ARE ADJOURNED.
UH, AGAIN, THE PLANNING AND ZONING REGULAR MEETING WILL START AT 6:00 PM CAITLYN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION, MS. BROWN.
