JANUARY THE 14TH, 2025. NEXT ITEM IS 22-0079 SP A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER DESIGN EXCEPTIONS TO A SITE PLAN FOR LIGHT MANUFACTURING. THIS IS ENCORE WIRE, 2450FT NORTH OF INDUSTRIAL BOULEVARD ON THE WEST SIDE OF AIRPORT ROAD. ARI. YES. THANK YOU COMMISSIONERS. GOOD EVENING AGAIN, ARI, WITH THE CITY OF MCKINNEY PLANNER. THE PROPOSED LOCATION OF THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED WEST OF AIRPORT AND NORTH APPROXIMATELY NORTH OF INDUSTRIAL BOULEVARD.THE REQUEST IS FOR A DESIGN EXCEPTION TO A SITE PLAN SPECIFICALLY FOR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. AGAIN, THIS IS FOR ENCORE WIRE. TYPICALLY, SITE PLANS ARE APPROVED AT THE STAFF LEVEL, BUT WHEN DESIGN EXCEPTIONS ARE REQUESTED, THESE COME THROUGH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR CONSIDERATION. THERE ARE THREE DESIGN EXCEPTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PROPOSED. I WILL GO OVER THEM INDIVIDUALLY AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, LET ME KNOW. THE FIRST DESIGN EXCEPTION IS A REQUEST TO REMOVE THE REQUIREMENT FOR SCREENING DEVICE FOR ALL MECHANICAL AND HEATING AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT FROM THE. THIS IS USUALLY REQUIRED FROM PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY OR RESIDENTIAL USES OR ZONING DISTRICTS. SO THE REQUEST FOR THE FROM THE APPLICANT IS TO WAIVE THE REQUIREMENT FOR SCREENING TO PROVIDE NO SCREENING AT ALL DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING AND THE TYPE OF ROOF EQUIPMENT REQUIRED, THE STRICT APPLICATION OF THE SCREENING WOULD REQUIRE NEARLY ALMOST A TEN FOOT KIND OF SCREENING DEVICE. THIS, WITH THE PROPOSED LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY IN AN INDUSTRIAL AREA AND SURROUNDED BY EXISTING FUTURE DEVELOPMENT FROM ENCORE. STAFF BELIEVES THAT THE LOCATION WITHIN THE PRIMARILY INDUSTRIAL AREA DOES NOT, WILL NOT NEGATIVELY IMPACT BY THIS. BY THIS REQUEST TO NOT PROVIDE A SCREENING DEVICE, GIVEN THAT IT'S IN A COMPLETELY INDUSTRIAL AREA, IT WOULD NOT HAVE ANY ADVERSE EFFECT AROUND THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.
THEREFORE, STAFF IS COMFORTABLE WITH THE WITH THE REQUEST FOR NO SCREENING DEVICE. THE SECOND DESIGN EXCEPTION THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO UTILIZE ARCHITECTURALLY FINISHED CONCRETE TILT WALL IN LIEU OF MASONRY REQUIREMENT, WHICH IS A REQUIREMENT OF THE PD ORDINANCE THAT THE PROPERTY IS UNDER. TYPICALLY, WHEN PROPERTIES ARE LOCATED IN THE HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA, THIS TYPE OF MATERIAL WOULD BE PERMITTED. SO, GIVEN THAT THIS AGAIN, IT'S AGAIN IN AN INDUSTRIAL AREA WHERE THE MATERIAL CONCRETE TILT WALL IS VERY IT'S VERY COMMON FOR THESE TYPES OF DEVELOPMENTS. STAFF IS COMFORTABLE WITH THE REQUEST TO PROVIDE THE CONCRETE FINISH TILT WALL IN LIEU OF THE MASONRY MATERIAL. THE THIRD DESIGN EXCEPTION, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A TEN FOOT REDUCTION FOR THE LOADING BAY. SETBACKS. AND JUST TO KIND OF SHOW YOU HERE, I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN ZOOM IN OR NOT, THE REDUCTION FOR THE LOADING BAYS
[00:10:10]
REQUIRES A 70 FOOT SETBACK FROM THE PROPERTY LINE OR FRONT OF THE OF THE OF THE BUILDING OR FRONT PROPERTY LINE, OR FROM THE PUBLIC STREET. SO THIS IS THE PROPERTY LINE HERE. SO IT WOULD BE SETBACK 75FT. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A TEN FOOT REDUCTION. THIS IS DUE TO THE REQUIREMENT OF A RIGHT OF WAY EASEMENT THAT IS GOING TO BE DEDICATED ALONG THIS AREA HERE.IN ORDER TO HAVE A RIGHT TURN LANE, GO INTO THE DEVELOPMENT FROM AIRPORT ROAD. GIVEN THAT THE PROPOSED REDUCTION IS ABOUT TEN FEET, WHICH WOULD PLACE IT AT 65FT WITHIN THE PUBLIC STREET. STAFF IS COMFORTABLE WITH THE REDUCTION, GIVEN THAT THE REQUIREMENT OF THE RIGHT OF WAY IS NECESSARY FOR THE ASSISTANCE OF TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC FLOW, SO STAFF HAS NO CONCERNS REGARDING THE REQUEST, AS THIS WOULD ALSO ALLOW FOR THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE PLACEMENT OF THE BUILDING FOR THE REQUIRED BASE.
THE BUILDING IS BEING PROPOSED AT 69FT, BUT THEY'RE REQUESTING A 65 UP TO A MINIMUM OF 65 OR SORRY REQUIREMENT OF A 65 FOOT SETBACK. SO THAT WOULD BE A TEN FOOT DIFFERENCE. IT IS THE OPINION THAT THE PROPOSED DESIGN EXCEPTION WILL NOT NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT AND WILL SUPPORT THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THIS SITE. SO AS SUCH, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST AND I STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. ARI. QUESTIONS REGARDING THE PROPOSED CHANGES PROPOSED BY ENCORE ONE. VERY GOOD ARI. THANK YOU. IS OUR APPLICANT HERE? HI.

[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Specific Use Permit Request for Auto, Motorcycle, Truck, or Boat, Rental or Sales (Huffines Kia McKinney), Located at the Southwest Corner of North Central Expressway and West White Avenue]
APPROVED. THE NEXT ITEM IS 24-0016 SUP. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR AUTO, MOTORCYCLE OR BOAT RENTAL OR SALES. HUFFINES KIA MCKINNEY. THIS IS AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF NORTH CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY AND WEST WHITE AVENUE. STUART. THANK YOU CHAIRMAN. GOOD AFTERNOON, COMMISSIONERS. STUART STORY, PLANNER FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. THE SPECIFIC USE REQUEST IS FOR THE EXPANSION OF AN EXISTING DEVELOPMENT. THE HUFFINES KIA SITE, LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF NORTH CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY AND WEST WHITE AVENUE AND IS PART OF A LARGER BLOCK ZONED FOR HIGH INTENSITY COMMERCIAL USES SUCH AS HOTELS, VEHICLE REPAIR, AUTO SALES, AND RESTAURANTS. THE EXPANSION WOULD SEE THE CURRENT SITE GO FROM 16,869FT■S TO 26,701FT■S, AND WOULD ADD PARKIG FOR AUTO REPAIR, VEHICLE DISPLAY, CUSTOMER AND EMPLOYEE PARKING. ADDITIONALLY, THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED TWO DESIGN EXCEPTIONS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE SUB. FIRST, THE APPLICANT SEEKS TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED LANDSCAPE BUFFER WIDTH FROM 30FT TO 10FT ALONG THE STREET FRONTAGE OF U.S. HIGHWAY 75. WHEN THE ORIGINAL HUFFINES KIA WAS DEVELOPED, THEY WERE PERMITTED TO HAVE A TEN FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER DUE TO RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS. BACK IN 2005, PURSUANT TO SECTION 206 A6, A DESIGN EXCEPTION TO ALLOW FOR THE REDUCTION OF THE STREET BUFFER MAY BE APPROVED. IF THE REDUCTION CREATES A UNIFIED DESIGN ALONG THE STREET FRONTAGE. GIVEN THAT THE PROPOSED REDUCTION WILL ALLOW FOR A CONSISTENT AND VISUALLY PLEASING LANDSCAPE BUFFER ALONG THE RIGHT OF WAY, STAFF HAS NO OPPOSITION TO THE REQUESTED REDUCTION. SECOND, THE APPLICANT ALSO REQUESTS TO MODIFY THE SCREENING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT STAY AREA BY ELIMINATING THE REQUIREMENT FOR MASONRY COLUMNS SPACED EVERY 20FT, AND THE INSTALLATION OF SIX FOOT TALL EVERGREEN SHRUBS ALONG THE FENCE, AND ONLY PROVIDE TUBULAR STEEL FENCING AROUND THE OVERNIGHT VEHICLE PARKING. TO MITIGATE FOR THE VISUAL IMPACT, THE APPLICANT PROPOSES TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING ALONG THE FRONTAGE OF U.S. HIGHWAY 75, SUCH AS ORNAMENTAL TREES AND SHRUBS, AS WELL AS LOCATING THE OVERNIGHT STORAGE BEHIND THEIR VEHICLE DISPLAY AREA. THE LANDSCAPING PROPOSED WILL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING HUFFINES KIA SCREENING FROM 2005, AND AIMS TO MITIGATE FOR THE VISUAL IMPACT OF THE OVERNIGHT VEHICLE STORAGE. AS SUCH, STAFF HAS NO OBJECTION TO THE REQUEST GIVEN THAT THE SITE MEETS THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REVIEW CRITERIA. STAFF FEELS THAT THE APPLICANT HAS SUFFICIENTLY MITIGATED FOR THE IMPACTS OF THE REQUESTED DESIGN EXCEPTION. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. ANYONE. QUESTIONS. STEWART. HOW WIDE IS THE TREE BARRIER TO THE WEST BEHIND THAT PROPERTY? YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY. IT KIND OF VARIES THROUGHOUT, BUT IT'S CONSIDERABLY WIDE TO THE POINT WHERE. BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE[00:20:07]
ANY CONCERNS WITH THE ADJACENT MULTIFAMILY. IT'S HEAVILY TREED. YES. IT IS ITSELF. YEAH. THERE'S A LOT OF TREES AND IT'S A FLOOD ZONE. IT'S A LOTS OF IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER OF THE EXHIBIT YOU HAVE ON THE SCREEN. IT'S HARD TO ZOOM IN, BUT IF YOU DO ON THE IPAD IT'S LABELED AT 200FT. IT SAYS A 200 FOOT BUFFER. YEAH. OH, YEAH. OH, NO, THAT'S A NOTIFICATION. I DON'T.YEAH. THANKS, JESSE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? STEWART, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IS OUR APPLICANT HERE TONIGHT? YES HE IS. OKAY. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIRMAN. MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, PARTICULARLY MR. WHATLEY, WHOM I'VE KNOWN FOR ALMOST AS LONG AS I'VE KNOWN MR. COX, HE WAS RUNNING AROUND IN SHORT PANTS WHEN I FIRST MET HIM. SO, ANYWAY, MY NAME IS DON PASCAL. I'M HERE TO REPRESENT THE HUFFINES AUTOMOTIVE GROUP. I DO WORK FOR THEM IN TERMS OF MUNICIPAL RELATIONS ALL OVER THE REGION, AND HAVE WORKED ON THIS PROJECT SINCE IT STARTED IN 2004, AND WE COMPLETED IT IN 2007. SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE BEEN ON THE P AND Z ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. WE DID THE SAME SUP PROCESS FOR THE ON THE NORTH SIDE. I'M NOT SURE I'M GOING TO USE THIS THING RIGHT. IS THAT THAT'S THE EXISTING HYUNDAI THAT HAS BEEN EXPANDED AND WE HAD TO DO THE SAME PROCESS FOR THAT. SO THIS IS A SIMILAR PROCESS. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF OTHER ISSUES BECAUSE OF THE EXCEPTIONS THAT MR. STOREY REFERENCED. AND THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I'M NOT SURE, STUART, WHERE YOU MIGHT HAVE ON THIS. THE APPLICANT PRESENTATION. YES. WHY DON'T YOU RUN IT UP TO THAT SO THAT WE DON'T SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON THAT? THE ONLY REASON I WANT TO DO THIS AT THIS POINT GO FORWARD. THE QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED, I THOUGHT WAS A GOOD QUESTION. AND YOU CAN SEE IN THAT PICTURE THE HEIGHT AND THE WIDTH THAT THE FENCE THAT YOU SEE IS ABOUT WHERE THE KIA PROJECT STOPS. IT GOES WAY PAST ALL THE WAY BEHIND THE KIA, BUT THEN IT KEEPS EXTENDING FURTHER TO THE SOUTH. AND THIS IS IT. AND IT GOES ALL THE WAY OVER.
YOU CAN SEE IT AT THE BACK WHERE THE NEW MOTEL IS. SO IT'S YOU'VE GOT THAT MASSIVE TREE LINE BACK THERE AND IT GOES, I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW DEEP IT IS. IN MY YOUNGER DAYS, I WOULD HAVE WALKED OUT THROUGH ALL THAT AND CHECKED TO SEE THE DISTANCE. IT GOES OVER TO THE EDGE OF THE CREEK BANK. I CAN TELL YOU THAT. AND ONE OF MY INSTRUCTIONS TO THE OWNER IS, DO NOT TAKE OUT ANY OF THOSE TREES. THEY HAVE MASSIVE ROOT SYSTEMS THEY'VE BEEN GROWING FOR, I DON'T KNOW, 50 TO 100 YEARS. AND THEY ARE STABILIZING AND HELPING TO HOLD THAT BANK. AND SO WE WANT TO KEEP DOING THAT. WE ALSO HAVE IN HERE A AN EROSION HAZARD SETBACK THAT COMES BACK THESE I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THOSE CAME FROM. I THINK THAT THE PEOPLE BUILDING THE MOTEL DUMPED SOME DIRT OVER IS WHAT I THINK HAPPENED. BUT NONETHELESS, WE'LL CLEAN ALL THAT UP. BUT SOMEWHERE IN THIS AREA WE'RE GOING TO EXTEND THAT INCLUDES OUR EROSION HAZARD SETBACK. WHAT IT DOES, IT COMES BACK PRETTY GOOD WAYS. AND WE'RE WORKING WITH ENGINEERING TO CLARIFY SOME ISSUES ON THAT. AND THE FLOODPLAIN ISSUES COMPLETELY. SO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SITE PLAN ENGINEERING.
AND THEY THEY LIKE WHAT WE'RE DOING. WE BELIEVE I DID PREPARE THE PRESENTATION. I'M KIND OF OLD SCHOOL. AS BILL KNOWS. I BELIEVE IN PREPARING ANYTHING I THINK ANYBODY MIGHT ASK, WHICH IS WHY I HAD THE PICTURES. I HAD NO IDEA ANYONE WOULD CARE. BUT TO ME, THEY'RE SIGNIFICANT.
THEY'RE A MAJOR COMPONENT OF THAT SITE, BOTH FROM THE WEST VIEW BUT ALSO FROM 75. WHEN YOU LOOK ACROSS THERE, THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ABOVE ALL THE CARS THAT ARE PARKED. AND WITH WHATEVER LANDSCAPE WE ADD TO IT, IT'S JUST GOING TO BE A COMPLIMENT TO THAT. AND THAT'S KIND OF THE WAY WE'VE WORKED ON TRYING TO PUT THIS TOGETHER IS TO PRESERVE WHAT'S THERE AND ENHANCE IT. WE WILL PROBABLY NOT TRIM THEM HARDLY AT ALL, EVEN EITHER, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO TAKE ANY CHANCES ON DAMAGING IT. WE MAY TRIM SOME LOWER BRANCHES, BUT NOT MUCH. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT YOU'VE GOT. STUART ADDRESSED IT. THEY'VE ADDRESSED OUR TWO EXCEPTIONS WITHOUT ANY ISSUES, I THINK, AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL. I DO NOT WANT TO STAND UP HERE AND SPEAK FOR A LONG TIME. AND YOUR CHAIRMAN KNOWS I'VE GOT THE CAPABILITY OF DOING THAT. SO I'M GOING TO PUT THAT OUT FIRST. AND IF YOU'RE SATISFIED WITH THE RESPONSES OR IF YOU WOULD LIKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU'VE GOT FOR ME TO ANSWER CONCERNING ANY OF THE DESIGN
[00:25:05]
EXCEPTIONS, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO THAT. THANK YOU, MR. PASCAL. WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE.THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MR. WHATLEY, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANTED TO ASK MR. PASCAL? NO, THANK YOU. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM. IF YOU COME TONIGHT AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS PLANNING AND ZONING ON THIS PROPOSED S U P, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM. ALL RIGHT.
MOTIONS, MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING AS WELL AS TO APPROVE THE ITEM 240016SUP, INCLUDING THEIR REQUEST TO REDUCE THEIR RIGHT OF WAY EXCEPTION FROM 30FT TO 10FT. AND ALSO THE TREE LINE HAVING THAT SERVE AS THE LANDSCAPING BARRIER, NOT HAVING TO ADD ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING ALONG THE WESTERN BORDER. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION BY MR. WOODARD TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THE REQUEST FOR APPLICANT RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION AS WELL.
SECOND. SECOND BY MR. CONRAD, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. BUT THIS MOTION CARRIES BY A VOTE OF SEVEN IN FAVOR AND ZERO AGAINST THE MOTION. THE REQUEST IS APPROVED, MR. PASCAL. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THIS IS AN SUV, SO IT WILL BE FORWARDED TO CITY COUNCIL.
OKAY. DO YOU HAVE A DATE? DECEMBER 17TH. MR. PASCAL, THIS DOES GO TO CITY COUNCIL AT DECEMBER 17TH, 2024. OKAY. YES. THAT'S A WEEK FROM TONIGHT, SIR. THANK YOU. I WILL BE THERE. NEXT
[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Request to Rezone the Subject Property from “BN” - Neighborhood Business District to “PD” - Planned Development District, Generally to Allow for Single-Family Uses and Modify the Development Standards (Kostial Addition), Located at 815 North Kentucky Street]
ITEM IS 24-0035Z. A PUBLIC HEARING REQUEST TO REZONE A PROPERTY FROM BEING TO PD. THIS IS TO MODIFY THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND ALLOW FOR SINGLE FAMILY USES. THIS IS AT 815 NORTH KENTUCKY STREET. SORRY. THANK YOU COMMISSIONERS. AGAIN ARI WITH THE CITY OF MCKINNEY PLANNER. AGAIN, LIKE AS MENTIONED, THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS TO REZONE A PROPERTY FROM THE CURRENT ZONING OF B10 NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TO PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO ALLOW FOR SINGLE FAMILY USES AND MODIFY THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. THE CURRENT ZONING OF BN ALLOWS FOR THE PROPERTY TO HAVE COMMERCIAL USES ON THE PROPERTY. THE APPLICANT'S PROPOSING A SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED USES SUCH AS COTTAGE COURT HOMES, WHICH ARE UNIQUE IN LAYOUT, AND THE PROPOSED HOMES WOULD FRONT ONTO A COURTYARD OR OPEN SPACE. THE INTENT IS TO CREATE A SMALL COMMUNITY INTEGRATED WITHIN A LARGE COMMUNITY AS THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AS PART OF THE REZONING REQUEST, THE APPLICANT IS ALSO PROPOSING TO MODIFY THE SPACE LIMITS TO FIT THE UNIQUE FOOTPRINT AND LAYOUT OF THE ANTICIPATED DEVELOPMENT. THESE REGULATIONS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN YOUR STAFF REPORT, BUT I ALSO WANT TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS LAYOUT, WHICH IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE WERE LOOKING AT. WHILE WE RECOGNIZE THAT THESE LOTS MAY BE SMALL IN SIZE COMPARED TO THE OTHER PROPERTIES, THE INTENT IS TO PROVIDE OPTIONS FOR HOME OWNERSHIP THROUGH A DIFFERENT MIX OF RESIDENTIAL, RESIDENTIAL PRODUCT TYPES. THIS LAYOUT, WHILE IT'S NOT A TIGHT LAYOUT TO THE PROPOSED PD ZONING DISTRICT REQUEST, SHOWS THE ELEMENTS THAT WE WOULD BE LOOKING FOR. AS FAR AS FOR THESE LAYOUTS, WHERE YOU HAVE THE COTTAGE COURT IN THE FRONT, THE LAYOUT OF THE BUILDINGS OR UNITS WITHIN THEIR OWN RESPECTIVE LOTS, AND THEN GARAGE THROUGH ACCESS THROUGH AN ALLEY IN THE REAR. SO THIS IS KIND OF KIND OF WHAT WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT AS FAR AS THE LAYOUT THAT MAY BE PROPOSED FOR THE SITE. AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, TO THE REQUIREMENT OF A ONE CANOPY TREE AT THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY, THE APPLICANT WILL BE PROVIDING THAT THEY'RE ALSO ADDING ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPE AMENITIES THAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE COURTYARD TREES, TABLES, THINGS OF THAT NATURE TO KIND OF ENHANCE THE AREA THAT ALSO MENTIONED ABOUT TREES THAT PROVIDE FRUIT. SO KIND OF LIKE A COMMUNITY GARDEN TO CREATE A MORE COMMUNITY TYPE OF ATMOSPHERE FOR THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT. WHILE THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED OUTSIDE THE HISTORICAL PRESERVATION OVERLAY, THE APPLICANT HAS INCLUDED REGULATIONS TO PROVIDE A FACADE AT THE BUILDING PERMIT LEVEL, AND IT WILL BE REVIEWED BY THE HISTORICAL PRESERVATION OFFICER FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE HISTORIC DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS, BUT ALSO FOR THE CHARACTER OF THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD. SO THOSE ARE ALSO ADDITIONAL ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE PD REGULATIONS TO KIND OF CREATE THIS UNIQUE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT.[00:30:02]
GIVEN THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS ALIGNMENT TO THE TOWN CENTER DISTRICTS GOALS FOR INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT, WHICH PROVIDES A SENSE OF COMMUNITY BUT ALSO PRESERVES THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD AND HISTORICAL CHARACTER THROUGH THROUGH ARCHITECTURAL AND LANDSCAPE DESIGN. IT IS STAFF'S OPINION THAT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WOULD COMPLEMENT THIS AREA OF THE CITY, AND RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST. I ALSO WANTED TO TOUCH BASE ON WHAT THE HOME IS LOOKING TODAY, SO THE PICTURE ON THE LEFT KIND OF SHOWS YOU WHAT THE HOME IS EXISTING TODAY. AND THEN THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT SHOWS AN EXAMPLE OF A COTTAGE HOME OR COTTAGE COURT LAYOUT, WHERE YOU HAVE THE HOMESTHE BACK, AND THEN YOU HAVE THAT GREEN SPACE IN THE FRONT CREATING KIND OF THAT PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT. MORE ACTIVITY, MORE COMMUNITY, MORE ENGAGEMENT IN THOSE KINDS OF UNIQUE DEVELOPMENTS. I ALSO WANTED TO SHOW HERE WE TOOK SOME PICTURES OR WE TOOK SOME PHOTOS FROM GOOGLE FOR KIND OF WHAT SOME OF THESE PROPERTIES SURROUNDING PROPERTIES LOOK LIKE, TO KIND OF GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE SURROUNDING AREA. I ALSO HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW, WHERE THOSE PROPERTIES LIE WITHIN ADJACENCY TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AS WELL. LASTLY, BUT NOT LEAST, THERE WAS A CITIZEN COMMENT THAT WAS INCLUDED IN YOUR STAFF REPORT, SO THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED AS WELL. THIS IS USUALLY SUBMITTED THROUGH OUR ONLINE PORTAL. SO IS THERE FOR YOUR INFORMATION AS WELL IN REVIEW? WITH ANY FURTHER ADO, IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER. QUESTIONS. ANYONE? I HAVE ONE AREA. HOW BIG IS THIS TRACK? THIS TRACK IS 0.3, APPROXIMATELY 0.4 ACRES AND THEY WANT FOR FOUR HOUSES ON IT. SO IT'S NOT LAID OUT IN OUR PD REGULATIONS, BUT I WILL LET THE APPLICANT SPEAK TO THAT. THIS IS THE LAYOUT, KIND OF A VISUAL KIND OF WHAT THE LAYOUT OF THE PROPERTY WOULD BE INTENDED TO BE. WHILE IT'S NOT TIED DOWN, THESE WOULD BE KIND OF THE ELEMENTS WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT. SO THE PD SAYS IT COULD BE FOUR OR MORE DWELLING UNITS. SO KIND OF GIVING THE CONTEXT OF THE LAYOUT, TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE COURTYARD, WHICH WOULD BE ABOUT 750FT■S, PARKING GARAGES, THEY REQUIRE TO BE A 20FT FROM THE PROPERTY LINE. SO ALL THOSE CONFIGURATION I THINK THERE COULD BE MORE UNITS, BUT BASED ON THE LAYOUT OF THESE FEATURES THAT ARE REQUIRED, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WOULD ALLOW FOR MORE UNITS, BUT I WILL LET THE APPLICANT SPEAK TO THAT AS WELL. SORRY. YES, EACH OF THESE PROPERTIES HAVE THEIR OWN UTILITIES LIKE OWN WATER METER OR WOULD IT ALL BE SHARED? AND IS THIS MORE LIKE A RENTAL? SO THESE ARE WOULD BE CONSIDERED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. EACH WOULD HAVE ITS OWN ADDRESS AND ITS OWN CONNECTION OF UTILITIES. ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. SO OUR APPLICANT HERE. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. I MOVE THAT WE RIGHT HERE. OH, OKAY. THANK YOU. NEED TO POINT. OH, COOL. OKAY. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING.COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS JASON ROSE. I'M THE ARCHITECT AND A PARTNER IN THIS DEVELOPMENT. I WANT TO GO AHEAD. THAT DRAWING IS DIFFICULT, I THINK, TO COMMUNICATE. AND EVEN BEING AN ARCHITECT, I THINK THREE DIMENSIONALLY. SO I WANT TO PASS THIS MODEL AROUND WHILE I'M GIVING MY PRESENTATION. BECAUSE I THINK BETTER THAN THE WAY A TWO DIMENSIONAL DRAWING DESCRIBES OUR CONCEPT. THIS WILL GIVE YOU A SENSE OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE HERE. SO I'LL PASS THAT AROUND WHILE I'M GIVING A SHORT PRESENTATION. BECAUSE IT IS OUTSIDE THE BOX.
IT IS A UNIQUE DEVELOPMENT IF YOU START, CERTAINLY IT'S KIND OF LIKE IT WON'T ATTACK BACK TO THE BACK CORNER OF IT. SO SOMETHING BREAKS, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. BUT THIS IS THE WORLD I LIVE IN. I SPENT SEVEN YEARS IN COLLEGE BASICALLY DOING THIS FULL TIME BUILDING THESE MODELS, AND I GOT IT. SO I GOT QUITE GOOD AT IT. BUT I THINK IT'S JUST EASIER TO COMMUNICATE.
PEOPLE LOOK AT THAT AND IT'S A WHOLE LOT DIFFERENT IN TERMS OF WHAT I'M TRYING TO CREATE. BUT I'LL START MY PRESENTATION WITH YOUR TOWN CENTER STUDY THAT THE CITY DID BACK IN MARCH OF 2008, ALMOST 17 YEARS AGO. MY PARTNER AND I, RON LUSTIG, HAVE BEEN DOING STUFF IN AND AROUND THE SQUARE SINCE THEN AND SLIGHTLY PRIOR TO THEN. AND ONE THING I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT IN THAT STUDY, SOMETHING VERY DEAR TO US THAT THAT IT SPEAKS OF IS THE TOWN SQUARE. THE TOWN SQUARE IS ONE OF THE SYMBOLS THAT PEOPLE THROUGHOUT NORTH TEXAS RECOGNIZE AS BEING MCKINNEY. AND THAT IS SO TRUE. AND FOR US AS DEVELOPERS, WHEN WE MARKET AND SELL PROPERTIES HERE, IT'S ALL
[00:35:05]
ABOUT THE SQUARE. THERE ARE CERTAIN PEOPLE THAT WANT THE HOMOGENOUS, TRADITIONAL NEW NEIGHBORHOOD, DON'T WANT THE BEAT UP STREETS, DON'T WANT THE CRACKED CONCRETE, DON'T WANT THE DIVERSITY OF THE HOUSES. THERE MIGHT BE $1 MILLION HOUSE HERE. THERE MIGHT BE A $100,000 DILAPIDATED HOUSE HERE. BUT THERE'S A UNIQUENESS TO THAT CHARACTER OF THIS DOWNTOWN THAT YOU CAN'T FIND ANYWHERE ELSE. I CAN SPEND SOMEBODY AROUND, PUT A BLINDFOLD ON THEM, TAKE IT OFF, AND THEY KNOW THEY'RE IN DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY. I CAN'T DO THAT IN WEST MCKINNEY. I CAN'T DO THAT ALMOST ANYWHERE IN THE METROPLEX. SO THERE'S A UNIQUENESS AND THAT HELPS US AS DEVELOPERS GET RETURNS ON OUR INVESTMENTS. AND I THINK YOU, AS THE CITY, KNOW WHAT THAT DOES IN TERMS OF ATTRACTING COMPANIES AND ATTRACTING PEOPLE TO YOUR CITY, QUALITY PEOPLE THAT ARE AFTER THAT FEEL. SO AS AN ARCHITECT, THAT'S SOMETHING REALLY UNIQUE THAT WE PAY ATTENTION TO. THE CORRIDOR KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE STREET IS SPECIFICALLY LISTED IN THIS STUDY. AND IT'S INTERESTING. IT SAYS THIS CORRIDOR WAS A PARTICULAR CONCERN BECAUSE IT IS SO INTEGRALLY TIED INTO THE EXISTING FABRIC OF THE TOWN CENTER, AND IT REALLY IS. AND OVER THE 17 YEARS, I'VE BEEN SOMEWHAT SURPRISED THAT THAT SPECIFIC CORRIDOR HAS BEEN SLOW TO DEVELOP. I'VE SEEN A LOT MORE STUFF GOING ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE SQUARE, WEST SIDE OF THE SQUARE, AND NOW MOVING TO THE EAST. THIS PARTICULAR STRETCH OF KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE KIND OF HAS BEEN LAGGING THAT WE'VE PROBABLY DONE MORE THAN ANYBODY WE DID. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE LUSTIG EDITION, THE LITTLE ORNATE TUDOR HOMES JUST ON TENNESSEE STREET, JUST NORTH OF SOUTH OF SMITH STREET AND NORTH OF WALKER. MY PARTNER AND I DID THOSE HOMES, AND WE TOOK A PARCEL OF LAND THAT WAS UNDEVELOPED, AND WE PUT ADDED ABOUT $13 MILLION OF TAX VALUE ON THAT PARCEL WITH OUR 20 HOMES. THOSE HOMES NOW GO FROM ANYWHERE TO 600 TO $700,000, AND PEOPLE ARE SHOWING PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP. IT'S A JEWEL THAT AT THE TIME WAS ZONED MTC ZONING.WE OPTED TO TAKE IT BACK IN DENSITY AND JUST DO SOMETHING FUN AND CREATIVE, AND WE'RE PROUD OF THAT DEVELOPMENT. AND I WOULD IMAGINE THE CITY IS TO THIS SITE AND THIS PARTICULAR EXHIBIT IN YOUR STUDY IS CALLED A PREFERRED LAND USE STUDY. AND THAT PARTICULAR STRETCH OF KENTUCKY STREET IS ACTUALLY CALLED OUT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE LITTLE LEGEND IN YOUR LOWER RIGHT HAND SIDE TO BE RESIDENTIAL, IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED COMMERCIAL. BUT THIS PARTICULAR GROUP THAT DID THIS STUDY THOUGHT THAT THAT HAD MORE OF A RESIDENTIAL FEEL. AND WE AGREE WITH THAT. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING. AND IT ALSO, I HIGHLIGHTED A NOTE OVER HERE THAT I LIKE THAT GOES BACK TO MY CONCEPT OF SELLING DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY, EXPAND THE HISTORIC DISTRICT TO PROTECT UNIQUE MCKINNEY LOOK. THE UNIQUE MCKINNEY LOOK. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO BECAUSE ULTIMATELY WE'RE SELLING AS MUCH. THE SQUARE AND THE NOVELTY OF LIVING IN THIS TYPE OF COMMUNITY VERSUS THE SUBDIVISIONS WHERE WE MIGHT BE COMPETING WITH THE BIG TRUCK BUILDERS. AND WE DO THAT BY RELATING OUR ARCHITECTURE TO THE SQUARE, TO THE HISTORY OF MCKINNEY. THIS ALSO SPEAKS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE DONE HERE. ESSENTIALLY, KENTUCKY WOULD BE MORE RESIDENTIAL IN NATURE WITH THE FACADE SETBACK ALONG THE FRONT YARD ZONE, ALTHOUGH MORE URBAN, 10 TO 15FT RATHER THAN SUBURBAN IN SCALE. SO I'LL TALK TO MY CONCEPT HERE.
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO, WE GOT WE HAVE A PARCEL OF LAND THAT'S UNIQUE. ALL THESE INFILL SITES END UP BEING VERY UNIQUE AND KIND OF ONE OFFS. AND THIS THIS COURTYARD CONCEPT IS UNIQUE. BUT WHAT ENABLED ME TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS HERE, WHERE I'VE NEVER REALLY COME ACROSS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO ANYTHING LIKE THIS, WAS I HAD REAR ACCESS. YOU'RE ALWAYS COMPETING WITH THE AUTOMOBILE WHEN YOU DO DEVELOPMENT, BECAUSE TEXANS STILL REFUSE TO GIVE UP THEIR AUTOMOBILES. MAYBE WITH PRICES, EVERYBODY WILL EVENTUALLY START REDUCING THE NUMBER OF AUTOMOBILES. BUT YOU STILL, WHEN YOU'RE SELLING HOMES, HAVE TO ACCOUNT FOR SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF AUTOMOBILES AND GUESTS. WE TOOK THE GARAGES TO THE BACK. WE CREATED TWO COVER SPACES, TWO PARKING SPACES OUTSIDE THE GARAGE. SO WHAT THAT ENABLES ME TO DO IS ON A STREET LIKE KENTUCKY THAT'S RESIDENTIAL IN NATURE. I DON'T HAVE 20 CARS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY DEVELOPMENT TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH THIS. NOW I'VE GOT CARS IN THE BACK. I'VE GOT A STREETSCAPE THAT AS YOU'RE DRIVING BY YOU, YOU FEEL VERY TYPICAL OF OTHER PROPERTIES HERE IN DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY, WHERE THE AUTOMOBILE WAS GIVEN AT THAT TIME, LESS OF AN EMPHASIS THAN IT IS NOW. SO THE IDEA HERE IS IT'S A RISK FOR US. WE'VE GOT TO FIND FOR PEOPLE THAT WANT TO LIVE IN A LITTLE COMMUNITY WHERE YOU YOU WALK OUT YOUR FRONT DOOR AND THERE'S YOUR NEIGHBOR IN YOUR NORMAL NEIGHBORHOOD. YOU GO OUT YOUR GARAGE AND YOUR ALLEY. YOU REALLY DON'T INTERACT A LOT WITH
[00:40:02]
YOUR NEIGHBOR. AND SOME PEOPLE LIKE THAT. THIS HAS TO FIND A UNIQUE BUYER THAT WANTS TO BE A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO THEIR NEIGHBOR. THEY WANT TO SHARE IN THE COST OF A COURTYARD. WE'RE GOING TO SET THIS COURTYARD UP. WE'RE GOING TO PUT QUITE A BIT OF EXPENSE INTO MAKING THIS LANDSCAPED AREA. AND AS WE ALL KNOW, THE WATER COSTS, THE COST OF LANDSCAPE MATERIAL.EVERYTHING'S GONE UP. SO WE'VE GOT TO FIND A GROUP OF FOUR INDIVIDUALS THAT WANT TO COME TOGETHER AND SPEND THE MONEY TO PLANT AND KEEP THAT GOING, AND THAT'S NOT CHEAP NOWADAYS. SO IT'S A RISK FOR US. BUT THE WE BELIEVE THAT THERE'S A MARKET FROM IT FOR IT BECAUSE OF THE NOVELTY AND THE UNIQUENESS. WE'RE ONLY LOOKING FOR FOUR PEOPLE THAT THAT SEE, THAT HAVE A VISION OF THAT. AND IT'S A IT'S A UNIQUE PRODUCT OFFERING SOMEWHERE OUT THERE. I THINK WE'LL FIND THEM FOR GREEN THUMBS THAT WANT TO HAVE NEIGHBORS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THEM. SO THAT'S OUR INTENT. IT'S THESE COURTYARD CONCEPTS HAVE BEEN AROUND A WHILE. THEY'VE NEVER REALLY TAKEN OFF BECAUSE AS A DEVELOPER, YOU KNOW, TO DO A PROJECT OF THIS SCALE REQUIRES A LOT OF TIME AND ENERGY TO GET THIS ZONING. MOST CITY ORDINANCES, THIS IS OUTSIDE OF THEIR THEIR RECIPE. SO YOU GOT TO STEP OUTSIDE THE BOX. I HOPE THAT YOU GUYS WILL SEE THAT WHAT WE'RE STEPPING OUTSIDE THE BOX TO DO HERE HAS A BENEFIT AND A VALUE TO IT. AND THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONLY PARCEL THAT I'VE COME ACROSS IN THE LAST 20 YEARS THAT GAVE THE ABILITY TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS. SO I'M KIND OF EXCITED ABOUT IT. IT'S A SMALL PROJECT COMPARED TO WHAT WE NORMALLY DO, BUT IT'S A BIG IDEA. IT'S TO ME, IT'S AS VALUABLE TO ME AS AN ARCHITECT IN A WAY THAT PEOPLE LIVE AND SEEING. MAYBE THERE'S A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO HOW A PERSON LIVES IN THEIR HOME AND INTERACTS WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS. SO I'M I'M KIND OF EXCITED ABOUT IT. WITH THAT, I'LL STOP YAPPING AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME. QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION. YES, SIR. APPROXIMATELY WHAT'S THE APPROXIMATE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF EACH OF THESE? EACH OF THESE HOUSES ARE 2450FT■S, GIVE OR TAE A FEW 50FT■S. AND WE'RE LOOKING AT WE'VE GOT TO GET 650 TO $700,000 FOR THIS TO PROFORMA FOR OUR PURPOSES, TO COVER THE EXPENSE OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO THERE. SO IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT $2.5 MILLION MARKET VALUE WHEN WE'RE DONE WITH IT. ON WHAT WAS A $180,000 PURCHASE PRICE THAT WE SPENT ON THAT PROPERTY.
THERE'S I GUESS THERE'S RESIDENTS BEHIND IT. I'M SORRY. THERE'S RESIDENTS BEHIND IT.
YES, SIR. THERE'S RESIDENCES BEHIND BEHIND IT. WE'VE I'VE SPOKEN TO THE NEIGHBORS. I WENT AROUND AND SHOWED THEM MY CONCEPT. AND I DO THAT ON ALL MY DEVELOPMENTS. AND THEY WERE ACTUALLY HAPPY. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THE HISTORY OF THIS HOUSE, BUT THE LADY THAT LIVED THERE WAS WAS KIND OF A HOARDER. SO THERE WERE SCHOOL BUSSES, OLD DETERIORATED SCHOOL BUSSES. SHE WAS THE CAT LADY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. CATS ALL LIVED IN THE SCHOOL BUS. AND THERE WERE 2 OR 3 OLD JUNK CARS AND ALL KINDS OF STUFF. AND THE NEIGHBORS WERE, QUITE FRANKLY, THEY WERE GLAD TO SEE SOMEBODY WAS GOING TO CLEAN. CLEAN UP THE AREA. WILL YOU BUILD A FENCE BEHIND IT OR WE WILL HAVE A PRIVATE DRIVE ALLEY TYPE OF SITUATION AND WE WILL HAVE NOT A FENCE, BUT WE'LL HAVE GARAGES IN THE BACK AND BEHIND OUR DRIVEWAY. THERE'S PRETTY SIGNIFICANT TREES, AND WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK ON OUR OUR SITE TO PRESERVE SOME OF THE BIG TREES. I THINK WE GOT A 30 INCH CALIPER RED OAK OUT THERE. WE'RE PRESERVING AND TO THE BACK OF US UP AGAINST THE RESIDENTIAL AND TO OUR NORTH SIDE, WE'RE GOING TO AND SOUTH, WE'RE GOING TO PRESERVE ALL THE TREES ALONG THE FENCE LINE. WHAT'S GOING TO BE THE ARRANGEMENT TO TAKE CARE OF THE COMMON AREA? WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN HOA THAT EACH PERSON IS A IS A MEMBER OF THAT WILL COLLECTIVELY COLLECT AND MANAGE THAT. BUT IT'S GOING TO COME DOWN TO FOUR TYPICAL HOA. YOU GOT 500 PEOPLE AND THEY DON'T AGREE ON ANYTHING. BUT THEN YOU ELECT A BOARD AND THEY CAN KIND OF CONTROL WHERE THE MONEY GOES.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A BOARD OF FOUR PEOPLE, SO I'M GOING TO HAVE TO FIND FOUR PEOPLE, AND THEY'RE ALL GOING TO HAVE DUES THAT ARE SET IN ADVANCE. BUT THOSE FOUR PEOPLE ARE GOING TO COME TOGETHER AND MANAGE THAT COMMON AREA. AND AN HOA THAT'S ATTACHED TO THAT PROPERTY. DO YOU HAVE PLANS FOR ANY ADDITIONAL PROPERTY ALONG THERE, ADJACENT OR WHATEVER TO DO THIS? AGAIN, NOT THAT, BUT I DO HAVE A $20 MILLION PROJECT. I HOPE TO BE IN HERE IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS FOR ON THE ON TENNESSEE OF A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT NATURE. BUT WE GOT WE LOOK FOR PROPERTIES THAT IN THIS AREA BECAUSE WE'VE WE'VE DONE SO MUCH IN DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY. SO WE KIND OF ARE AWARE OF DIFFERENT STUFF. BUT THIS SPECIFICALLY TYPE OF PROJECT. NO, BECAUSE IT TAKES A VERY SPECIFIC SITE. YOU JUST CAN'T YOU CAN'T DO THAT EVERYWHERE. HOW MUCH SPACE IS THERE BETWEEN EACH ACTUAL PROPERTY AND AT THE REAR OF LOT ONE? FROM THE DIAGRAM THAT WE
[00:45:02]
RECEIVED. AND LOT FOUR, IS THAT GOING TO BE SHARED KIND OF GREEN SPACE BETWEEN THE ADJACENT PROPERTY? AND WILL THERE BE A FENCE LINE. CAN YOU GO TO THE SITE PLAN. AND I CAN SEE WHAT SHE'S I'M KIND OF I NEED TO SEE WHAT YOU'RE SPECIFICALLY REFERENCING. THERE YOU GO. OKAY.SO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SO BETWEEN LOTS ONE AND TWO HERE AND THREE. THREE. YES. HOW MUCH SPACE IS THERE ACTUALLY BETWEEN THOSE TWO STRUCTURES? OKAY. THAT IS DRIVEN BY FIRE CODE PRIMARILY. AND THERE'S SIX FEET FROM WALL TO WALL FACE. BUT THEN THIS OPENS UP TO GIVE EACH PERSON KIND OF A BIGGER BACKYARD. BUT FOR FIRE PURPOSES, THE SIX FEET KEEPS YOU OUT OF THE ONE ONE. OUR FIREWALL SCENARIO AND THE THEY'RE DESIGNED TO GIVE THE SPACES OF THE COMMUNITY GARDEN AND THEN THESE BACKYARDS BECAUSE EVERYBODY HAS A PET. THESE ARE ACTUALLY BIGGER YARDS THAN TRADITIONAL BUYERS NOWADAYS ARE LOOKING FOR. AS YOU'RE SEEING SMALLER AND SMALLER YARDS OUT THERE. THIS STILL HAS EACH ONE OF THESE HAS QUITE A BIT OF YARD TO MAINTAIN. AND SO BETWEEN THOSE PROPERTIES IS THAT IS THERE GOING TO BE A FENCE THAT YOU'RE ERECTING. YES. SO YEAH. AND THE DARK OBJECTS HERE ARE ACTUALLY WE PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT INTO OUR TRASH CAN STORAGE BECAUSE THIS IS THIS WILL GO AWAY. TRASH CANS AREN'T GOING TO BE STORED BACK THERE. THESE TRASH CANS THEN WILL BE SERVED OFF A PICKUP ON KENTUCKY STREET.
BUT THAT'S WHAT THOSE REPRESENT. THOSE ARE JUST WHERE WE CAN PARK AND HIDE THE TRASH CANS FROM PUBLIC VIEW. WHERE DO THEY STORE THEIR LAWN MOWER IF THEY'RE ALL COMING TOGETHER TO SHARE THE COMMON MAINTENANCE IN THEIR GARAGES, THEY WOULD STORE THEIR LAWN MOWERS AND EQUIPMENT BACK THERE, WHICH I CALL THE TEXAS BASEMENT. AND THAT'S WHY WE LIKE TO HAVE THE ADDITIONAL PARKING OUTSIDE THE GARAGE, BECAUSE WHEN PEOPLE MOVE IN, FILL THAT WITH A BUNCH OF STUFF, THAT BECOMES A ONE CAR GARAGE AT BEST. SO THE GARAGE AND THESE ARE TWO STORY OR ARE THEY THREE STORY, TWO STORY. THERE ARE TWO STORY. YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. SO I HAVE ANOTHER IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S SOME THERE'S SOME EMPTY LOTS TO THE TO THE SOUTH. YES, SIR. SO HOW DO YOU HOW DO YOU RUN AN ALLEY BEHIND THESE? THROUGH THOSE? YOU CAN DO IT. WE'VE GOT TO TAKE THE ALLEY OUT TO THE STREET TO THE SOUTH. SO IT'S A IT'S A PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY CURRENTLY EXISTING. SO WE ARE RUNNING WE ARE IMPROVING THE ALLEY ALL THE WAY FOR THOSE TWO LOTS I'VE BEEN IN TRYING TO CONTACT THE OWNER OF THOSE TWO LOTS AND PURCHASE THOSE TWO LOTS AND DO A SIMILAR DEAL. AND IT'S OWNED BY AN ATTORNEY. IT WAS IN AN ESTATE AND THE ATTORNEY AND HER DAUGHTER, IT'S ACTUALLY TWO PARCELS TO THE SOUTH, AND I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET THEM OFF OF HIGH CENTER BECAUSE I WANTED TO DO IT BEFORE THEY SAW THIS, BECAUSE IF THIS REALLY TAKES OFF, THE PRICE IS PROBABLY GOING TO GO UP. BUT WE ARE IMPROVING THE ALLEY TO THE STREET. ON OUR NICKEL. THAT'S TO BOTH THE SOUTH AND THE NORTH OR JUST THE SOUTH? SOUTH. YES, MA'AM. OKAY. THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH HAS BEEN ABANDONED. AND THE HOMEOWNERS PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE TAKEN THAT PROPERTY FROM THE PUBLIC. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MR. ROSE, WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. THANK YOU. WE WILL HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING NOW ON THIS ITEM. IF YOU COME AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS PLANNING AND ZONING TONIGHT ON THIS ITEM, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM. ALL RIGHT. JUST TO NOTE, WE DO HAVE CITIZEN COMMENTS THAT ARE ATTACHED TO THIS ITEM.

[Consider/Discuss Proposed Amendments to McKinney Town Center (MTC) Zoning District (Appendix 2B) of the Unified Development Code (UDC)]
ITEMS. WE HAVE ONE ITEM TONIGHT. FIRST ON THE ITEM IS TWO FOUR. DASH 000. M8M. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE MCKINNEY TOWN CENTER ZONING DISTRICT. APPENDIX TWO B OF THE UNITED DEVELOPMENT CODE. MR. CHRISTIE, WELCOME BACK. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONERS. I AM CAMERON CHRISTIE, PLANNER WITH THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. AND ALSO TONIGHT'S RELIEF PITCHER FOR ARI. AND TONIGHT WE WILL BE DISCUSSING THE UPCOMING AMENDMENTS TO THE MCKINNEY TOWN CENTER ZONING DISTRICT. BUT BEFORE WE GET INTO THE DETAILS, I JUST WANT TO DO A QUICK RECAP ABOUT THE MTC, WHAT[00:55:07]
IT IS AND HOW WE GOT HERE. SO THE MTC OR MCKINNEY TOWN CENTER ZONING DISTRICT IS A SPECIAL DISTRICT FOR DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY. IT WAS CREATED IN 2013, AND UNLIKE MOST OF THE REST OF THE CODE, IT'S WHAT WE CALL A FORM BASED CODE. AND A FORM BASED CODE IS A CODE WHERE THE PRIMARY ORGANIZING PRINCIPLE IS THE SITE FORM ITSELF, RATHER THAN THE DIVISION OF USES. SO LIKE IN YOU, YOU KNOW, EXCUSE ME, UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE OR UDC, IT'S MAINLY ORGANIZED BY LAND USES. YOU CAN DO THIS USE IN THIS ZONE. WHILE THERE IS A USE TABLE IN THE MTC. AND AS WE'LL SEE, THAT'S PRIMARILY WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT. IT'S NOT THE PRIMARY GUIDING PRINCIPLE BEHIND HOW THE ZONING DISTRICT IS INTENDED TO FUNCTION. ZOOMING IN HERE, WE SEE THAT THE MTC IS COMPRISED OF SEVEN CHARACTER DISTRICTS, WHICH ARE ESSENTIALLY SEVEN SUBZONES OF THE MTC. WE HAVE THE HISTORIC CORE, WHICH IS COMPRISES THE SQUARE ITSELF AND THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDINGS. WE ARE THERE. WE ARE HERE RATHER RIGHT NOW, SURROUNDING THAT TO THE WEST OF HIGHWAY FIVE IS THE DOWNTOWN CORE, FORMING THE WESTERN FLANK OF THE MTC IS THE DOWNTOWN EDGE, AND THAT'S WHERE THE COMMERCIAL SORT OF STARTS TO BLEND INTO THE RESIDENTIAL THAT WE SEE IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT, GOING ACROSS HIGHWAY FIVE TO THE EAST, WE HAVE THE TWO TRANSIT VILLAGE CHARACTER DISTRICTS, AND THEN GOING FURTHER DOWN SOUTH, HIGHWAY FIVE, WE HAVE THE TWO COTTON MILL DISTRICTS, WHICH ARE A AN EXCLAVE OF THE MTC. SO WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT IS WHEN THE UDC WAS ADOPTED IN 2022, THE MTC WAS MORE OR LESS UNTOUCHED. IT WAS IMPORTED AS IS AS APPENDIX TO BE TO THE UDC. AND THAT'S BECAUSE AS A FORM BASED CODE, THERE'S A LOT OF NUANCE TO IT. SO IT CURRENTLY DOES NOT PERFECTLY ALIGN WITH THE UDC. SOME OF THE USES, NAMES OR DEFINITIONS ARE NOT QUITE IN ALIGNMENT. WE ALWAYS KNEW WE'D BE BACK HERE TO UPDATE THE MTC TO GET IT IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE REST OF THE UDC. SO HERE WE ARE. IN ADDITION, THIS IS ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY JUST TO IMPROVE THE INTUITIVE READING AND THE EASE OF USE BOTH BY THE PUBLIC AND BY STAFF TO CLEAR UP GENERAL UNCLEAR LANGUAGE. JUST TIDYING UP IF YOU WILL. BUT THE MAIN SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION TONIGHT IS THAT WE CAN ALSO USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS ADJUSTMENT TO ALLOWED LAND USES.WE WANT TO SEE IF THERE'S AN APPETITE FOR THAT AND SEE WHAT YOU ALL AND COUNCIL THINK OF OUR CURRENT RECOMMENDATIONS. SO FOR THOSE USES IN QUESTION, WE HAVE FIRST ALCOHOL RELATED USE.
EXCUSE ME, ALCOHOL RELATED USES AND A NEW USE THAT WE'RE CALLING CRAFT CONSUMABLE ESTABLISHMENTS.
AFTER THAT WE HAVE COMMERCIAL AMUSEMENT BOTH INDOOR AND OUTDOOR. AND FINALLY WE WANTED TO DISCUSS BODY ART STUDIOS. WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT EXPANDING OR ALTERING THE USES IN THE MTC, WE WANTED TO COMPARE TO OTHER HISTORIC DOWNTOWNS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. SO WE LOOKED AT SIX GRAPEVINE, DENISON, PLANO, GEORGETOWN, DENTON, AND SAN MARCOS. ALL OF THEM ARE MAIN STREET CERTIFIED HISTORIC DOWNTOWNS. AND WHEN WE WERE ANALYZING WHAT KIND OF USES WERE ALLOWED THERE, WE FOUND THEY KIND OF FELL INTO THREE CATEGORIES. DENISON AND GRAPEVINE WERE THE MOST RESTRICTIVE, PLANO AND GEORGETOWN LESS SO, AND DENTON AND SAN MARCOS WERE THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE IN WHAT SORT OF USES THEY ALLOWED. MCKINNEY IS CURRENTLY IN BETWEEN THE MOST RESTRICTIVE AND MODERATELY RESTRICTIVE TOWNS, THOUGH I WOULD SAY THERE WERE A BIT CLOSER TO THE MODERATELY THAN MOST. OUR FIRST USES OF THE NIGHT THAT WE'LL BE DISCUSSING ARE THOSE ALCOHOL RELATED USES. CURRENTLY IN THE MTC, WE ALLOW
[01:00:01]
BREWERIES AND MICROBREWERIES, BREWPUBS, WINERIES, RESTAURANTS, AND PRIVATE CLUBS CURRENTLY NOT RECOGNIZED IN THE MTC ARE BARS AND DISTILLERIES, AND SIMILAR USES SUCH AS CIDERIES. A NOTE ON BARS CHANGES TO THE TYPE OR MEANS OF ALCOHOL SALES WITHIN THE CITY WOULD REQUIRE A CITIZEN INITIATED PETITION AND A CALL FOR LOCAL OPTION ELECTION. THAT IS TO SAY THAT THIS CANNOT BE A CITY INITIATED CHANGE OR ISSUE. WE JUST WANTED TO HAVE THIS BROUGHT UP BECAUSE IT IS A FREQUENT TOPIC OF INQUIRY BY PROSPECTIVE BUSINESS OWNERS. LOOKING AT OUR COMPARISON DOWNTOWNS, WE SEE THAT BROADLY, DISTILLERIES OR SIMILAR USES ARE ALLOWED. NOTABLY, SAN MARCOS DOES NOT ALLOW THEM, DESPITE BEING ONE OF OUR LEAST RESTRICTIVE DOWNTOWNS. BUT THAT'S JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC USE. IT ALL FALLS UNDER LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, AND THEY DON'T WANT LIGHT INDUSTRIAL IN THEIR DOWNTOWN. THE CLOSEST USES CURRENTLY IN MCKINNEY ARE THE BREWERY MICROBREWERY, WHICH WE DO ALLOW EITHER WITH CRITERIA OR WITH A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT, DEPENDING ON THE CHARACTER DISTRICT. SO WHAT WE WOULD WANT TO DO IS BECAUSE THERE IS CURRENTLY A USE IN THE BROADER UDC CALLED BREWERY, DISTILLERY, WINERY CIDERY, WE WOULD WANT TO JUST IMPORT THAT INTO THE MTC TO AGAIN BRING IT INTO ALIGNMENT WITH THE UDC, AND THAT WOULD SOLVE A LOT OF THE ISSUES THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY SEEING, BECAUSE A BREWERY CAN CURRENTLY COME IN, BUT A DISTILLERY NOT SO, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE VERY SIMILAR IN TERMS OF WHAT THE ACTUAL USE IS. HOWEVER, THERE ARE ALSO INSTANCES OF, SAY, COFFEE ROASTERIES OR CHOCOLATIERS THAT MAYBE WANT TO BE PRODUCING SOMETHING ON SITE AND SELLING IT. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT PUTS THEM IN AN AWKWARD POSITION BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT QUITE FOOD PRODUCTION, THEY'RE NOT QUITE RESTAURANTS, SO WE COULDN'T CALL THEM A RESTAURANT. AND FOOD PRODUCTION IS NOT ALLOWED. SO IN ORDER TO ADDRESS ALL OF THESE CONCERNS AT ONCE, WE'RE PROPOSING A NEW USE TO THE UDC, WHICH WOULD BE CALLED A CRAFT CONSUMABLE ESTABLISHMENT, AND THIS WOULD COVER PRODUCTION OF ANY SORT OF INGESTIBLE GOOD, BE IT ALCOHOLIC DRINK, NONALCOHOLIC DRINK OR FOOD. IF YOU CAN EAT IT OR DRINK IT, YOU CAN MAKE IT. AND WITH THAT, YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A RETAIL OR RESTAURANT COMPONENT ALONG WITH IT, AND WE WOULD ALLOW LIMITED DISTRIBUTION. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS WOULD BE LIKE THE ORIGINAL GHIRARDELLI CHOCOLATIER IN DOWNTOWN SAN FRANCISCO. AND PICTURED OVER HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF A COFFEE ROASTERY, THIS ONE IN HOLLY'S WHARF IN LONDON. THESE JUST KIND OF A PICTURE OF THE SCALE OF PRODUCTION THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. THE CRITERIA THAT WE WOULD BE SUGGESTING FOR THIS CRAFT CONSUMABLE ESTABLISHMENT WOULD BE IMPORTED DIRECTLY FROM THE EXISTING MICROBREWERY, DISTILLERY, WINERY, CIDERY THAT'S IN THE UDC. SO THEY'LL BE LOCATED IN BUILDINGS LESS THAN 20 ZERO ZERO ZERO SQUARE FEET, OR UP TO 50 ZERO ZERO ZERO SQUARE FEET IF THEY CAN. IF THEY CONTAIN A RESTAURANT COMPONENT OF SUFFICIENT SIZE. WHEN IT COMES TO THE DISTRIBUTION ELEMENT OF IT, WHERE THE IDEA IS THAT THIS SIZE LIMITATION WOULD INHERENTLY LIMIT HOW MUCH DISTRIBUTION COULD HAPPEN. SO WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO FACILITATE UNIQUE BUSINESSES WITHOUT HAVING A TRUE INDUSTRIAL USE DOWNTOWN. IF YOU ARE LARGER IN SIZE THAN THIS, YOU WOULD JUST BE FOOD PROCESSING, WHICH IS INDUSTRIAL USE NOT ALLOWED EITHER IN THE MTC OR ANY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.NEXT, OUR OUR COMMERCIAL AMUSEMENT USES. CURRENTLY IN THE MTC WE HAVE COMMERCIAL AMUSEMENT BOTH INDOOR AND OUTDOOR. THIS IS A USE THAT NO LONGER EXISTS IN THE UDC. IT'S BEEN REPLACED BY TWO SETS OF SEPARATE USES. NOWADAYS IN THE UDC WE HAVE COMMERCIAL ENTERTAINMENT, INDOOR AND OUTDOOR AND RECEPTION AND EVENT CENTER, INDOOR AND OUTDOOR. IT'S JUST A BIT MORE GRANULAR. DEFINITIONS. THE COMMERCIAL AMUSEMENT WAS IMPORTED TO THE MTC BACK IN 2013 FROM THE OLD CODE. AT THE TIME. IT CURRENTLY COVERS EVERYTHING THAT WOULD FALL UNDER THESE COMMERCIAL ENTERTAINMENT AND RECEPTION EVENT CENTERS. WE JUST WANT IT TO ALL ALIGN. AN EXAMPLE
[01:05:05]
OF COMMERCIAL ENTERTAINMENT INDOOR WOULD BE HORSE ACTS ON LOUISIANA, AND THEY ARE. THESE USES ARE ALLOWED WITH SUPS OR CRITERIA DEPENDING ON THE CHARACTER DISTRICT. FOR MORE EXAMPLES OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. TUPPS, IN ADDITION TO BEING A BREWERY, ALSO HAS AN SUP FOR COMMERCIAL AMUSEMENT. OUTDOOR. THE FLOUR MILL IS A COMMERCIAL AMUSEMENT OUTDOOR OR WHAT WOULD WE WOULD NOW CALL RECEPTION OR EVENT CENTER? OUTDOOR? AND FINALLY, THE COMEDY ARENA AND ARCADE 92 ARE ANOTHER TWO GOOD EXAMPLES OF COMMERCIAL AMUSEMENT INDOOR. LOOKING AT HOW THESE ARE PERMITTED IN OTHER DOWNTOWNS, WE BROADLY SEE THAT THEY ARE ALLOWED FREQUENTLY JUST BY RIGHT FOR THE INDOOR USES. THE CURRENT MAP OF THE MTC AND WHERE THEY ARE PERMITTED LOOKS LIKE THIS. WHERE EVERYTHING EAST OF HIGHWAY FIVE, IT'S PERMITTED BY RIGHT, THE HISTORIC CORE AND THE DOWNTOWN CORE REQUIRE AN SUP, AND IT'S NOT ALLOWED AT ALL IN THE DOWNTOWN EDGE. WHAT WE WOULD BE SUGGESTING, IN ADDITION TO UPDATING THE DEFINITIONS, IS SOME TWEAKS TO THE USE.PRIMARILY, THIS WOULD BE ALLOWING BY RIGHT THE INDOOR EVENT CENTERS AND COMMERCIAL ENTERTAINMENT IN THE HISTORIC CORE AND DOWNTOWN CORE. WE FOUND THAT THESE ARE PRETTY NATURAL FIT TO THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESS ECOSYSTEM. THEY HAVEN'T BEEN DISRUPTIVE, AND THEY PROVIDE A GOOD LEVEL OF ECONOMIC DIVERSITY TO THE DIFFERENT COMMERCIAL OFFERINGS. THE OTHER BIG CHANGE WOULD BE GOING FROM NOT ALLOWED AT ALL TO ALLOWED WITH CRITERIA IN THE DOWNTOWN EDGE, SO THAT WESTERN FLANK THE CRITERIA IN QUESTION WOULD BE THAT THEY SHALL BE LOCATED A MINIMUM OF 300FT FROM RESIDENTIAL USES OR ZONES, AND THAT THAT MAY BE MODIFIED OR ELIMINATED WITH THE APPROVAL OF A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. THE 300FT IS A PRETTY TYPICAL. WE DON'T WANT THESE USES RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER. DISTANCE THAT WE HAVE IN THE UDC. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF IT IS WE DON'T WANT DAYCARES WITHIN 300FT OF A GAS STATION PUMP. AS COMMERCIAL AMUSEMENT AND COMMERCIAL ENTERTAINMENT AND RECEPTION EVENT CENTERS. THAT'S A VERY, VERY BROAD CATEGORY OF BUSINESSES. SOME ARE GOING TO BE MORE DISRUPTIVE THAN OTHERS, SO WE WANTED TO BUILD IN SOME FLEXIBILITY WHERE IF THERE IS A BUSINESS THAT WANTED TO COME IN AT A SITE WITHIN 300FT, IF IT DOES SEEM LIKE IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE THAT THERE WOULD STILL BE AN AVENUE FOR APPROVAL AND MOST OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY, IF THAT WAS THE CASE WHERE A LOCATION SEEMED TO FIT AN IDEA BUT THE ZONING DIDN'T ALLOW FOR IT, YOU COULD REQUEST A REZONE AND PERHAPS IT WOULD BE GRANTED.
THE ISSUE IS WITH THE MTC, THE CITY HAS GENERALLY NOT ALLOWED OR EVEN CONSIDERED REZONING OUT OF THE MTC, SO WE NEED TO BUILD THAT EXTRA FLEXIBILITY IN. HENCE THE ABILITY TO RESOLVE THIS BY A PUBLIC HEARING AND AN SUP. MOVING OUTDOORS. MORE RESTRICTIVE. WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR COMPARISON DOWNTOWNS NOT ALLOWED AT ALL IN ANY OF THE THREE MOST RESTRICTIVE AND ALLOWED GENERALLY WITH CONDITIONS IN THE LESS RESTRICTIVE DOWNTOWNS CURRENTLY, WE DO ALLOW IT IN A NUMBER OF DISTRICTS WITH AN SUP. IN FACT, WE ALLOW IT AT ALL OF THE DISTRICTS EXCEPT FOR, AGAIN, THE DOWNTOWN EDGE WHERE IT'S NOT CURRENTLY ALLOWED AT ALL. THIS CHANGE IS A BIT MORE SIMPLE, GOING FROM NOT ALLOWED AT ALL TO ALLOWED WITH AN SUP. AGAIN, IT'S FORESEEABLE THAT THERE COULD BE BUSINESSES THAT ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING URBAN FABRIC, AND THAT WE WANT TO BUILD THAT FLEXIBILITY INTO THE CODE SO IT CAN BE DETERMINED AT A PUBLIC HEARING RATHER THAN AT STAFF'S DESK. THE FINAL USE WE WANTED TO DISCUSS ARE BODY ART STUDIOS, AND THOSE ARE ESTABLISHMENTS THAT OFFER TATTOOING OR BODY PIERCING. UNLIKE THE OTHER USES, STAFF DOES NOT HAVE A RECOMMENDATION ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. RATHER, BECAUSE WE'VE RECEIVED SUCH FREQUENT INQUIRY ABOUT THIS KIND OF BUSINESS, WE WANTED TO SEE IF THERE WAS AN APPETITE TO ADD IT
[01:10:03]
AS A USE TO THE MTC. LOOKING AT OTHER DOWNTOWNS, ALL BUT THE MOST RESTRICTIVE DOWNTOWNS DO ALLOW IT TO SOME EXTENT, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SAN MARCOS, WHICH JUST ALLOWS IT BY RIGHT.THE REST REQUIRE EITHER AN SUP OR HAVE SOME CONDITIONS ATTACHED TO IT. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BECAUSE OF JUST EXPERIENCE WITH, SAY, DENTON OR PLANO LOCALLY, BUT A NUMBER OF PROSPECTIVE BUSINESS OWNERS HAVE COME IN WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT IT WAS ALLOWED HERE, AND WERE VERY SURPRISED WHEN WE TOLD THEM THAT, NO, THIS IS NOT A PERMITTED USE IN DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY. SO WE CAN SEE A COUPLE OF OPTIONS ON HOW THIS COULD BE PERMITTED. IF THE APPETITE IS THERE TO PERMIT IT. ONE IS JUST THAT WE KEEP THE RECURRENT RESTRICTIONS, I.E. IT'S NOT ALLOWED. NEXT, WE COULD ALLOW IT IN LIMITED AREAS WITH CRITERIA, OR WE COULD ALLOW IT BROADLY ACROSS MANY OF THE DIFFERENT CHARACTER DISTRICTS WITH CRITERIA. AS FAR AS WHAT THAT CRITERIA WOULD LOOK LIKE, IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS. WE'D PROBABLY WANT SOME DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL AS TO WHAT DIRECTION WE WOULD TAKE THAT CRITERIA, BUT SOME EXAMPLES ARE PLANO, WHERE THEY ALLOW A CERTAIN NUMBER BY RIGHT, AND THEN AFTER THAT YOU HAVE TO GET AN SUP. IF YOU WANT TO OPEN A BODY ART STUDIO IN THEIR DOWNTOWN. OR WE COULD DO SOMETHING MORE SIMPLE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD, LIKE A DISTANCE REQUIREMENT. IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT THE DIRECTION WE WOULD BE GIVEN IS, AND WE WILL OPERATE STARTING THERE AND COME BACK WITH A FINAL PRODUCT WHEN IT'S TIME TO ACTUALLY PASS THE AMENDMENT. SO TO RECAP, WE ARE HERE TODAY PRIMARILY TO BE UPDATING THE MTC. 95% OF IT IS JUST MAKING IT PLAY NICE WITH THE REST OF THE UDC. BUT WE DO HAVE A COUPLE CHANGES THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED WHILE WE'RE HERE MAKING CHANGES. FIRST IS THAT CRAFT CONSUMABLE ESTABLISHMENT? IT WOULD REPLACE THE EXISTING USES, BUT IN DOING SO WOULD ALLOW ADDITIONAL BUSINESS TYPES. FOR A COMMERCIAL AMUSEMENT. WE WOULD BE EASING THE RESTRICTIONS IN THE CORE DISTRICTS AND EXPANDING THEM TO THE EDGE. AND FOR OUTDOOR, WE WOULD BE EXPANDING TO ALL DISTRICTS, BUT STILL REQUIRING AN SP. AND FINALLY, FOR BODY ART STUDIOS, WE WILL JUST BE ASKING FOR DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL AND WE CAN OFFER CRITERIA DEPENDING ON THAT DIRECTION. WITH THAT. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND I STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. I JUST WANT TO SAY CAMERON, THAT WAS VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YEAH. THANK YOU, VERY MUCH. QUESTIONS? RUSS, I HAVE A QUESTION. YEAH. GOOD PRESENTATION. WOULD YOU BE ASKING FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AT ANY POINT IN TIME? I THINK THE IDEA IS THAT IT WOULD BE NOTICED PUBLICLY. SO IF THERE WAS PUBLIC COMMENT, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO VOICE IT AT EITHER THE UPCOMING COUNCIL WORK SESSION AT THE LATER PLANNING AND ZONING PRESENTATION, OR AT THE ACTUAL COUNCIL MEETING WHERE IT WOULD BE DECIDED. THIS IS SIMILAR TO WE HAD A THIS ISN'T WHAT WE WOULD CONSIDER LIKE A MAJOR OVERHAUL. IT'S MORE OF A TWEAK SIMILAR TO THE RECENTLY PASSED UDC AMENDMENT. AND I WANT TO SAY THAT WAS OCTOBER. SO THIS THE ANTICIPATED PUBLIC COMMENT WOULD BE COMING AS A RESULT OF THE PUBLIC HEARINGS AND PRESENTATIONS. I THINK YOU SAID ALSO THAT IT'D HAVE TO BE AN ELECTION FOR BARS. YES. WE'RE NOT PROPOSING ANYTHING TO DO WITH BARS. IT'S JUST THAT PROSPECTIVE BUSINESS OWNERS OFTEN COME TO US AND ASK, CAN WE OPEN A BAR? AND WE TELL THEM, NO, WE CAN'T. AND IT'S FREQUENT ENOUGH THAT BECAUSE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ALCOHOL RELATED USES, WE WANTED TO TOUCH ON IT.
BUT THE WAY WE TOUCH ON IT IS BY EXPLAINING THAT WE CAN'T. WE HAVE NO METHOD TO CHANGE THAT.
IT IS ENTIRELY UP TO THE PUBLIC VIA ELECTION. I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS. SO WITH A COUPLE OF THE REVISIONS WHERE LIKE THE COMMERCIAL ENTERTAINMENT, OUTDOOR RECEPTION GOING FROM BEING NOT PERMITTED TO JUST REQUIRING A SUP ON THE DOWNTOWN EDGE, HAS ANY HAVE ANY COMMENTS COME UP FROM CURRENT BUSINESS OWNERS IN DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY AS THAT BEING SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO DRAW BUSINESS AWAY FROM BUSINESS OWNERS WHO HAVE THAT TYPE OF ESTABLISHMENT IN DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY AT ALL. I'VE NOT HEARD ANYTHING TO THAT EFFECT. YEAH, I'VE NOT HEARD
[01:15:08]
ANYTHING TO THAT EFFECT. NO. AND THE SECOND QUESTION HAS TO DO WITH JUST RECLASSIFICATION OF CURRENT BUSINESSES. WHAT'S THAT PROCESS LOOK LIKE? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CURRENT BUSINESSES WILL HAVE TO DO, OR THEY'LL JUST BE NOTICED THAT THEIR CLASSIFICATION HAS CHANGED? SO WE'VE WE'VE BEEN VERY CAREFUL AND THOROUGH TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THE USES THAT WOULD HAVE A NAME CHANGE. WE WOULD NOT BE CREATING ANY NON-CONFORMING USES. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE CHANGES ARE THINGS LIKE THIS, WHERE IT'S CHANGING COMMERCIAL ENTERTAINMENT OR, EXCUSE ME, COMMERCIAL AMUSEMENT TO COMMERCIAL ENTERTAINMENT AND RECEPTION EVENT CENTER. NOTABLY, THE ACTUAL LAND USE RESTRICTIONS AND ENTITLEMENTS FOR BOTH OF THOSE ARE NOT CHANGING, EXCEPT AS WE PRESENTED SPECIFICALLY HERE. ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS THE MTC HAS A BROAD VARIETY OF AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL USES LISTED, NONE OF WHICH ARE ACTUALLY ALLOWED AND MOST OF WHICH DON'T EXIST IN THE UDC ANYMORE. SO WE'RE JUST SENDING THEM OFF TO PASTURE. ONE OTHER QUESTION. JUST SO ON THE DOWNTOWN EDGE, WHY HAD SOME OF THESE TYPES BEEN RESTRICTED PREVIOUSLY? DO YOU KNOW, I THINK THE REASONING IS THAT BECAUSE THE DOWNTOWN EDGE IS THAT TRANSITION AREA FROM COMMERCIAL AND THEN MIXED USE INTO PRIMARILY RESIDENTIAL, THEY WANTED THAT BUFFER AREA. OUR THINKING IS THAT THE MTC HAS BEEN AROUND NOW FOR A DECADE.THERE. WE WANTED TO BUILD IN A LITTLE MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR BUSINESSES. THEY STILL THEY STILL HAVE TO HAVE THE FULL, ROBUST PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS. IT WOULD HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY COUNCIL, BUT IF THERE WAS A BUSINESS THAT COULD REASONABLY COEXIST WITH ITS NEIGHBORS IN THAT PART OF THE URBAN FABRIC, WE WANTED THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE THERE AND HAVE COUNCIL DECIDE THAT FOR A GIVEN CASE. GREAT PRESENTATION. AWESOME. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? CAMERON, IN YOUR REPORT, YOU TALKED ABOUT BODY ART STUDIOS AND THAT IS A BROAD CRAFT IF YOU WILL. YES. SO IT'S GOOD THAT YOU HAVE THE CHART SHOWING WHO'S WHO'S ALLOWING AND WHO'S NOT. AND THEN. ENCOURAGE COUNCIL TO WEIGH IN ON WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE AND HOW DOES IT HOW IF IT FITS IN THIS DOWNTOWN AREA. AND DEIRDRE BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT, IF YOU'RE GOING TO ALLOW SOMETHING NEXT DOOR TO SOMEONE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE, WE NEED SOME SOME VEHICLE TO LET THEM SAY, TIME OUT. YES, YOU KNOW, ALL ALL THE BOTH THIS AND THE CRAFT CONSUMABLES WERE INCLUDED IN THIS PRESENTATION BECAUSE WE'VE HAD SPECIFIC INSTANCES OF FOLKS COMING FORWARD AND EITHER NOT BEING ABLE TO OPERATE A GIVEN BUSINESS, OR THEY JUST ASSUMED THAT IT WAS PERMITTED BASED ON THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF OTHER DOWNTOWNS IN THE AREA. RIGHT. ANYONE ELSE? VERY GOOD.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH. THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM, MISS ARNOLD. DO WE NEED TO DO ANYTHING OR ARE WE JUST LISTENING? IT WAS JUST DISCUSSION ONLY OKAY. AND THIS WILL GO TO COUNCIL AT SOME POINT. THE THERE IS A WORK SESSION DISCUSSION, THE EXACT SAME PRESENTATION TO COUNCIL GOING NEXT WEEK I BELIEVE. YES.
OKAY. YEAH. VERY GOOD. MR. CLOUTIER, IF YOU WILL WEIGH IN WHEN THIS GETS TO COUNCIL. OKAY.
CHASE MR. FRANKLIN OFF. ALL RIGHT. NEXT ITEM WOULD BE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE TO ADDRESS PLANNING AND ZONING ON AN ITEM, NOT ON THE AGENDA. SO IF YOU'VE WAITED UNTIL 7:20 P.M. TO SHARE YOUR THREE MINUTES, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD
[COMMISSION AND STAFF COMMENTS]
ANNOUNCEMENTS, MISS ARNOLD. ANDERSON, I THINK WE TOUCHED A FEW OF US BACK BEFORE THE MEETING STARTED, BUT KATE STRICKLAND AT 1:00 THIS MORNING HAD HER BABY, A LITTLE BABY BOY.HIS NAME IS RANGER. IT WAS 35 HOURS WORTH OF LABOR, SO I THINK SHE GETS A MEDAL OF SOME SORT.

CAITLYN KATE WILL BE OUT UNTIL MID-MARCH, SO I'LL BE SITTING UP ON THE DAIS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. AND JUST AS WE'RE WAITING ON THAT PHOTO TO COME UP, A QUICK REMINDER THAT THIS IS OUR LAST PACK MEETING OF THE YEAR. OUR NEXT P AND Z MEETING WON'T BE UNTIL JANUARY THE 14TH, I BELIEVE.

SO WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMISSION KNOWS ONCE WE'RE READY TO MOVE OVER TO THE NEW CITY HALL, THERE WILL BE TRAININGS.
