THE END OF THE CONSENT AGENDA. WE'LL MOVE TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA. ITEM 253126. PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ADOPTION OF THE BUDGET APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025 2026. MR. HOLLOWAY, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. GLAD TO BE HERE TONIGHT. IT'S KIND OF THE END OF A VERY LONG ROAD THAT WE BEGAN SOMETIME IN JANUARY. IT'S THE PROCESS OF ADOPTING OUR BUDGET FOR FOR EACH FISCAL YEAR. AND JUST WE WE HAVE THE NEXT FOUR ITEMS ARE ALL ABOUT THE BUDGET. THE FIRST, WE'LL HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING AND POTENTIAL ADOPTION OF THE FISCAL YEAR 26 BUDGET, FOLLOWED BY THE NEXT TWO, WHICH WILL BE THERE'LL BE ANOTHER. I HAVE TWO, ACTUALLY TWO SHORT PRESENTATIONS. THE NEXT TWO ITEMS ARE OVER THE TAX RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 26. WE WILL HAVE PUBLIC HEARING WITH THE ROLL CALL VOTE AT THE END OF THAT.

AND THEN WE HAVE THE FOURTH ITEM, WHICH IS THE SETTING OF THE FEES TO TO ACTUALLY FUND THE BUDGETS. THE FOURTH ITEM, I'LL RUN THROUGH A VERY SHORT PRESENTATION ON THE ON THE BUDGET, AND I'LL BE I'LL STEP DOWN AND ALLOW ANY, ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS AND THEN CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING. SO WITH THAT, I'LL GO THROUGH THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE GENERAL FUND. FIRST.

THIS BUDGET WOULD DECREASE THE PROPERTY TAX RATE BY 0.3 CENTS TO 0.412284. WE'RE CURRENTLY AT 0.4155. WE ARE BUDGETING SALES TAX TO REMAIN STEADY FOR FISCAL YEAR 26. WE HAVE IT SET AT ABOUT 3.5% ABOVE WHAT WE ANTICIPATE FOR THIS, THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR. THIS BUDGET DOES PROVIDE STEP INCREASES FOR BOTH NON-SWORN AND SWORN PERSONNEL. SO ALL GENERAL GOVERNMENT AND THEN ALL OF OUR SWORN PERSONNEL, AND IT DOES INCREASE OUR STAFFING LEVELS ACROSS ALL OF OUR FUNDS OR NOT ALL OF OUR FUNDS, BUT IN SEVERAL OF OUR TARGETED FUNDS, PUBLIC SAFETY AND THE GENERAL FUND. I'LL HAVE A SLIDE ON THAT. BUT YOU CAN SEE THOSE ARE WHERE A LOT OF OUR FOCUS FOR FISCAL YEAR 26 WOULD BE THE GENERAL FUND, $232 MILLION REVENUE BUDGET THIS YEAR, ABOUT 52% OF THAT BEING PROPERTY TAXES. WITH THE OTHER LARGE AMOUNT BEING 20% OF THAT BEING SALES TAX. YOU CAN SEE THE REST OF THE BUDGET MADE UP, YOU KNOW, FRANCHISE FEES, LICENSE AND PERMITS, CHARGES AND FINES, AND OTHERS FOR GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES. ONCE AGAIN, IT'S A IT'S A BALANCED BUDGET. 48% OF THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET IS PUBLIC SAFETY, 26% POLICE, 22%. FIRE. GENERAL GOVERNMENT BEING OUR INTERNAL INTERNAL SERVICES BEING 22%. AND THEN YOU SEE PUBLIC WORKS THERE, ABOUT 10%. THAT'S JUST THE GENERAL FUND PORTION OF THE OF THE BUDGET. PUBLIC WORKS STRETCHES ACROSS SEVERAL DIFFERENT FUNDS WATER, WASTEWATER, SURFACE WATER, DRAINAGE, FLEET. SO PUBLIC WORKS IS KIND OF SPREAD OUT.

FOR THE GENERAL FUND. WE'RE GOING TO BE ASKING FOR 27 NEW EMPLOYEES. AS YOU CAN SEE THERE, IT'S SPREAD OUT FAIRLY WELL ACROSS THE GENERAL FUND, BUT A FOCUS ON PUBLIC SAFETY FIVE FOR POLICE AND FIVE FOR FIRE. MOVING ON TO WATER AND WASTEWATER. YOU CAN SEE OUR HIGHLIGHTS HERE. I DO LIKE TO POINT OUT EVERY YEAR THAT WATER LINE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM HAS ALLOWED US TO GET OUR OUR LOSS OF TREATED WATER DOWN TO 7% FOR THE LAST FISCAL YEAR. IT'S

[00:20:04]

PRETTY AMAZING CONSIDERING THE FISCAL YEAR 14. WHEN WE BEGAN THE PROGRAM, WE WERE AT ABOUT 28%. WE WILL BE ASKING TO INCREASE WATER RATES AND WASTEWATER RATES FOR FISCAL YEAR 26 AS WELL. 4% INCREASE ON WATER, 5% INCREASE ON WASTEWATER. NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT IS INCREASING A LITTLE BIT MORE ON A PERCENTAGE BASIS, BUT BECAUSE OF OUR GROWTH, WE DON'T HAVE TO PASS ON QUITE AS LARGE A WATER RATE INCREASE TO OUR END CUSTOMERS. TONIGHT. UPCOMING EVENTS. THERE ARE NO MORE AFTER TONIGHT FOR THE BUDGET. WITH THAT, I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE FISCAL YEAR 26 BUDGET, AND THEN I'LL BE ALSO BE HAPPY TO STEP DOWN AND ALLOW FOR ANY PUBLIC COMMENT. THANK YOU. MARK. QUESTIONS. MR. HOLLOWAY, ANYONE? THANK YOU. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM. IF YOU COME TONIGHT AND WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL ON THE PROPOSED BUDGET APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025 2026, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION. THE FIRST WILL HAVE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A ROLL CALL. VOTE FOR THE THE THE BUDGET. MR. MAYOR, I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL COUNCILWOMAN FELTUS TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. I WILL SECOND. SECOND BY COUNCILMAN. WE DO NEED A ROLL CALL. VOTE ON CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING. NO NO NO. YES.

NO. THE BUDGET ORDINANCE ITSELF. ALL RIGHT. YOU CAN HAVE A VOTE ON THIS CLOSURE. YEAH. THE MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. COUNCIL MEMBER. THANK YOU. THAT MOTION CARRIES. WE'VE CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING. DO WE HAVE DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS OF MR. HOLLOWAY? I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. I MOVE THAT THE INCREASED REVENUE FROM THE PROPERTY TAXES IN FISCAL YEAR 20, THAT'S THE NEXT ACTION ITEM. WE JUST THAT'S THE NEXT ONE. JUST A BASIC. YEAH. PLEASE MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT THE BUDGET. OKAY. WE'LL GET THIS AND THEN WE'LL GET TO OKAY. ALWAYS SEE THAT COMING. THAT'LL BE THE NEXT ONE. SEE THAT COMING OKAY. GOOD. SO WE'RE ON THIS. DID YOU HAVE A MOTION. WELL I'LL MOVE THAT. WE APPROVE. ITEM 25 3126 AND ADOPT THE BUDGET APPROPRIATION. I'LL SECOND MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CLAUDIA TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED.

PERFECT. OKAY. MAKING AN ASSUMPTION. YES. EVERYBODY SAID YES. RIGHT? YES. GOOD. THAT

[Consider/Discuss/Act on an Ordinance to Ratify the Property Tax Revenue Increase in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget as a Result of the City Receiving More Revenues from Property Taxes than the Previous Fiscal Year]

MOTION PASSES. MR. HOLLOWAY, NEXT ITEM. ARE YOU READY? YES, I AM THREE ONE, TWO SEVEN. THE NEXT ITEM I HAVE A SHORT PRESENTATION FOR, FOR THE ACTUALLY THE NEXT TWO ITEMS ON THE TAX RATE. THE NEXT ONE IS THE RATIFICATION OF THE TAX REVENUE INCREASE. BUT I'LL GO THROUGH I'VE ONLY GOT THREE SLIDES. I JUST WANTED TO WALK THROUGH THEM VERY QUICKLY.

FIRST OF ALL, EXISTING VALUES FOR FISCAL YEAR 26 HAVE INCREASED ABOUT 5%. THIS THIS BUDGET PROPOSES A RATE OF 2.88% ABOVE THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE. THE TAX RATE THAT WE'VE BEEN PROPOSING IS 0.41228 FOR YOUR TAX RATE CEILING BEING 0.413921. AS YOU CAN SEE, A SHORT COMPARISON OF OUR TAX RATES FOR THE LAST FOR LAST FISCAL YEAR AND THIS FISCAL YEAR WOULD NOTE THE THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE IS 0.419449. MR. HOLLOWAY, CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE IS AND WHAT IT MEANS? SURE. THIS IS THE RATE AT WHICH IF YOU GO ABOVE THAT, THAT WOULD BE WHERE IT WOULD TRIGGER AN ELECTION. THIS YEAR, OUR VOTER APPROVAL RATE IS 0.419449, WHICH IS ACTUALLY HIGHER THAN THE 3.5%, WHICH IS THE TAX RATE CEILING THAT YOU SEE 0.413921.

[00:25:05]

THE REASON IS THAT IS BECAUSE THE CITY COUNCIL HAS NOT USED THEIR INCREMENT ABOVE THAT 3.5% THE LAST THREE FISCAL YEARS. SO YOU CAN CHOOSE WITHOUT AN ELECTION TO GO UP TO 0.419449.

BUT THE PROPOSED TAX RATE FOR THIS BUDGET IS 0.412284. AND THE REASON WE HAVEN'T USED THE INCREMENT, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, IS THAT EVERY YEAR WE HAVE THREE AND A HALF, BUT IF WE DON'T USE IT THREE AND A HALF, WE CAN BANK SOME OF THAT FOR THREE YEARS BEFORE IT ROLLS OFF UNDER THE CURRENT LAW. BUT I THINK PERHAPS THAT LAW IS BEING MASSAGED A BIT DOWN IN AUSTIN. I DO KNOW THAT THAT LAW IS BEING CONSIDERED AT DIFFERENT RATES UNDER 3.5%. BUT YES, THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT. WHATEVER. WE STAYED BELOW 3.5% AS FAR AS A REVENUE NUMBER, NOT A PERCENT. IT USED TO BE A PERCENT. NOW IT'S JUST A DOLLAR OF REVENUE, BUT IT FACTORS OUT TO 0.419449. THIS IS OUR TAX RATE OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS. I'D LIKE TO SHOW THAT I BELIEVE, YOU KNOW, TWO, EVEN TWO YEARS BEFORE THAT IT WAS IT WAS JUST UNDER $0.60. SO YOU CAN SEE THE HISTORY OF LOWERING THE TAX RATE HAS BEEN VERY CONSISTENT HERE IN MCKINNEY OVER REALLY OVER THE PAST DECADE. AND WITH THAT, THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR THIS ITEM OR FOR THE NEXT TWO ITEMS. THIS ONE REQUIRES A VERY SPECIAL MOTION, BUT DOES NOT REQUIRE A A ROLL CALL VOTE. THE THIRD ITEM, WHICH IS THE ACTUAL SETTING OF THE PROPERTY TAX RATE, WHICH IS DONE SECOND, WILL REQUIRE ROLL CALL VOTE. WITH THAT, I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS ON THESE NEXT TWO ITEMS. NO QUESTIONS. MEMBERS. THIS DOES NOT HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING COMPONENT. SO WE WOULD BE LOOKING FOR A MOTION. MR. MAYOR, DO YOU MIND IF I MAKE A COMMENT FIRST? OF COURSE.

WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF EMAILS OVER RECENT WEEKS, AND WE ALWAYS DO THIS TIME OF YEAR ABOUT THE BUDGET AND ABOUT THE TAX RATE. AND I, I WANT TO BACK UP A LITTLE BIT AND JUST THESE ARE MY WORDS AND THIS IS HOW I THINK OF THIS. THIS IS NOT A DECISION THAT'S REALLY MADE IN A DAY. IT'S MADE OVER THE COURSE OF 365 DAYS. WHEN WE MAKE A DECISION HERE, IN A DECISION THERE, SOME OF THEM ARE REALLY TOUGH AND THEY MEAN SAYING NO TO PEOPLE. I CAN THINK OF A COUPLE IN THE LAST YEAR THAT I'VE SAID NO TO WHERE THEY WANTED TO COME TO THE CITY FOR MONEY, AND IT'S AREAS OF GRAY, BUT TO ME IT COMES DOWN TO DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON THE PROPERTY TAX RATE IS SO IMPORTANT. AND SO IT WORKS US TO THIS DAY. AND IT HAS BEEN NOT EASY TO GET HERE. AND THIS NUMBER MAY BE A BIT DISAPPOINTING WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF WHERE WE WERE, YOU KNOW, LIKE MR. HOLLOWAY SHOWED JUST A FEW YEARS AGO AT $0.57, NOW WE'RE DOWN TO 41, BUT NOW WE'RE, YOU KNOW, ARGUING OF MICRO POINTS OF A PENNY AROUND 41. THE WAY THAT IT GENERALLY WORKS IS THIS IS A 30,000 FOOT FLYOVER. SO TAKE IT FOR THAT. WE COLLECT REVENUE MAINLY IN TWO WAYS SALES TAXES AND PROPERTY TAXES. THERE'S OTHER WAYS TOO. HE JUST SHOWED YOU THAT MY FAVORITE IS SALES TAXES. WHY? BECAUSE THEY'RE VOLUNTARY AND BECAUSE WE CAN GET PEOPLE FROM OTHER CITIES TO PAY THEM. SO WHEN YOU SEE A LOT OF THE DEVELOPMENT THAT WE DO, A LOT OF IT IS SALES WITH WITH THE THOUGHT OF SALES TAXES, BECAUSE IF WE CAN COLLECT THOSE, THAT PUTS DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON OUR PROPERTY TAX RATES. WE HAVE REALLY DONE REAL WELL IN RECENT YEARS AND VERY WHAT I WOULD CALL ACCELERATED GROWTH OF OUR SALES TAX BASE. I THINK IT WAS DURING MAYOR FULLER'S TERM FOR ROUGHLY EIGHT YEARS THAT WE DOUBLED THAT SALES TAX BASE, AND THAT PUTS DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON OUR PROPERTY TAX. SO TO ME, THIS ISN'T A 100% STATEMENT, BUT TO ME, SALES TAX GENERATING DEVELOPMENT IS GOOD.

DEVELOPMENT. GENERALLY SPEAKING. SO I JUST WANT TO KIND OF ARTICULATE THAT WAY OF THINKING AND WHAT THAT WAY OF THINKING KIND OF PERMEATES THE THE DAIS UP HERE AS WE GO THROUGH THINGS.

AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THINGS THAT WE SAY NO TO IN THE COURSE OF A YEAR. AND THEY THEY LOOK HARD AND THEY LOOK LIKE, MAN, THESE PEOPLE HAVE A HEART. I'D LIKE TO THINK I DO. BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK ABOUT THIS DAY WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, IS TO WHAT AM I ASKING OUR FELLOW CITIZENS? AND, YOU KNOW, CANDIDLY, ALL OF US UP HERE TO PAY IN PROPERTY TAXES. THAT'S ALL I HAVE, MR. MAYOR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS, MOTIONS? IF IT'S OKAY, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. I MOVE THAT THE INCREASED REVENUE FROM PROPERTY TAXES IN THE FISCAL YEAR 2025 TO 26 CITY BUDGET IS HEREBY RATIFIED WITH THE

[00:30:01]

FOLLOWING DECLARATION. BASED ON THE TAX RATE OF 0.41228 FOR THIS BUDGET WILL RAISE MORE PROPERTY TOTAL PROPERTY TAXES THAN LAST YEAR'S BUDGET BY 12,556,433, OR 7.5%. AND OF THAT AMOUNT, 7,317,780. IS TAX REVENUE TO BE RAISED FROM NEW PROPERTY TAX ADDED TO THE TAX ROLL THIS YEAR? WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN FRANKLIN. I WILL SECOND SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CLAUDIA. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? WE DO NEED A RECORD VOTE. NO. THAT MOTION

[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on an Ordinance Adopting a Tax Rate for Fiscal Year 2025-26 (Tax Year 2025)]

CARRIES BY A VOTE OF SEVEN IN FAVOR AND ZERO AGAINST. THE NEXT ITEM IS THREE FIVE, 3128.

MR. HOLLOWAY, THIS IS THE ACTUAL ADOPTION OF THE PROPERTY TAX RATE. THIS ONE DOES REQUIRE A SPECIFIC MOTION AND A ROLL CALL VOTE. AS YOU READ THIS ONE, IT SAYS THAT THE RATE IS A 3.58% INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE. THAT'S BECAUSE THE 2.88 THAT WE TALK ABOUT IS ON THE NO SIDE OF THE TAX RATE. AS YOU KNOW, THERE ARE TWO SIDES OF THE TAX RATE. THE INN'S PORTION IS REMAINING FLAT THIS YEAR, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE'VE INTENDED TO DO, ESPECIALLY WITH THE THE LARGE BOND COMMITMENTS THAT THAT WE HAD FROM THE 2024 ELECTION. SO IT DOES CHANGE THE PERCENTAGE A LITTLE BIT, BUT IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE LEGALITIES OF THE 2.88. PORTION. SO WITH THAT I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. MR. HOLLOWAY. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM. IF YOU COME TONIGHT AND WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING ADOPTION OF THIS TAX RATE, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM. ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE, I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY TAX RATE BE INCREASED BY THE ADOPTION OF A TAX RATE OF 0.412284, WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY A 3.58% INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE. WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN FELTUS. CAN I ASK YOU TO INCLUDE IN YOUR MOTION CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING? I WILL INCLUDE CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING MOTION THAT YOU'VE HEARD. DO WE HAVE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN LYNCH? IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? OH, MR. CLOUTIER, I HIT IT BEFORE COUNCILMAN LYNCH STOPPED, BUT I'D BE HAPPY TO WITHDRAW MY MOTION AND GIVE IT TO COUNCILMAN LYNCH. OKAY. VERY GOOD. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. COUNCIL MEMBER. MILLER. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. YES. MAYOR.

PRO TEM FELTZ. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. FRANKLIN. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JONES. YES. MAYOR.

OAKES. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. LYNCH. YES. AT THAT. THAT VOTE PASSES. THANK YOU. MEMBERS.

BUT BUT OTHER THAN THAT, JUST, YOU KNOW, SOME SMALL CHANGES THAT THAT WE'VE COLLECTED OVER TIME, BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR. OR SIT DOWN OR SIT DOWN, WHATEVER Y'ALL CHOOSE.

[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Specific Use Permit Request for a Drive-Through Restaurant (McDonalds), Located at 3300 Virginia Parkway, and Accompanying Ordinance]

AGAINST CAITLIN. LET THE APPLICANT KNOW THAT WHERE WE ARE. NEXT ITEM 250005, ISSUE P TWO PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ISSUE P FOR A DRIVE THROUGH RESTAURANT MCDONALD'S. THIS IS AT 3300 VIRGINIA PARKWAY. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. THIS ONE MIGHT ACTUALLY LOOK FAMILIAR FOR MOST OF Y'ALL, BUT I WILL GIVE YOU A QUICK RUNDOWN. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR A RESTAURANT WITH DRIVE THROUGH THE MCDONALD'S AT THIS LOCATION.

IT IS DIRECTLY NEXT TO THE BONNIE WENK PARK AND WITHIN THE DEVELOPED AREA THAT IS NEAR THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. WALMART ALONG VIRGINIA PARKWAY. THE APPLICANT HAS COME BACK WITH AN UPDATED REQUEST. IT WAS SEEN BEFORE Y'ALL AND Y'ALL VOTED IT WITH A DENIAL. I DID WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WAS BACK BEFORE Y'ALL. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE COME BACK, THEY'VE UPDATED THE SITE BASED OFF OF THE CONCERNS THAT THEY HEARD BEFORE, THE CONCERNS ABOUT MITIGATING FOR ANY TRAFFIC THAT WOULD BACK UP INTO VIRGINIA. SO THEY HAVE REORIENTED IT. LET ME. THEY'VE REORIENTED IT IS NO LONGER ORIENTED TOWARDS VIRGINIA PARKWAY. HOWEVER, ALL INGRESS AND EGRESS WILL BE COMING THROUGH AND OUT THROUGH THE OR. THE WALMART PARKING LOT. STAFF IS STILL SUPPORTIVE OF A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A RESTAURANT DRIVE THROUGH. WE BELIEVE THAT IT WILL PROVIDE SERVICES FOR THE AREA, AND IT FITS WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PLACE TYPE. AS SUCH, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE AS WELL. CAN YOU SHOW ME WHERE THE EXIT IS GOING ON? VIRGINIA OUT OF THAT PARKING LOT IN RELATION TO WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, WE'RE. SO IF WE'RE LOOKING AT THE OVERALL AREA. SO TWO THEY WILL HAVE. ACCESS HERE AND THEN EXIT HERE. AND SO THEY WILL BE ABLE TO EITHER HAVE ENTRANCE HERE, HERE, HERE AND THEN POTENTIALLY HERE FOR ANY INGRESS OR EGRESS. THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY TRAFFIC IMPACTS DIRECTLY ONTO VIRGINIA DUE TO THE ORIENTATION CHANGE. BUT CAITLIN, WHERE YOU HAVE THOSE RED HORIZONTAL LINES DRAWN ON THE WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE WEST SIDE OF THIS PROPERTY. IF YOU WANT TO GET INTO THE ACTUAL MCDONALD'S PROPER, YOU CAN'T GO FROM THAT INGRESS EGRESS ON VIRGINIA STRAIGHT INTO MCDONALD'S. YOU HAVE TO WEAVE YOUR WAY A LITTLE BIT TO THE WEST AND THEN THE NORTH TO ACCESS THE RESTAURANT. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. THEY WOULD HAVE TO WEAVE THROUGH THE EXISTING FIRE LANE AND PARKING TO GET INTO THE MCDONALD'S. OTHER QUESTIONS ANYONE? CAITLIN.

THANK YOU. IS THERE APPLICANT. YES THEY ARE. YEAH. THANK. THAT'S OKAY. OKAY. GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS LESLIE FORD I'M FROM CAICEDO. MY ADDRESS IS 1008 MACON STREET, FORT WORTH, TEXAS 76102. AND I AM HERE TODAY REPRESENTING MCDONALD'S AS THE APPLICANT. AND SO YEAH. SO I WANTED TO KIND OF TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY. JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME TOUCHPOINT. WE'RE NOT TRYING TO HIDE FROM THAT BY ANY MEANS. SO WE BROUGHT THE CASE

[00:40:02]

THROUGH IN 24. AND THEN IT WAS BROUGHT THROUGH TO COUNCIL ON THE DECEMBER 3RD OF 24. AND SO HISTORY OF THE CASE. THE CASE HAD GONE THROUGH LAST TIME WITH STAFF APPROVAL, SEVEN ZERO OUT OF P AND Z CAME TO COUNCIL AND THEN WAS DENIED. WE ARE SITTING HERE WITH STAFF APPROVAL, A70 OUT OF P AND Z, AND WE ARE IN FRONT OF YOU GUYS. SO I WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ISSUES THAT WERE RAISED DURING THAT INITIAL MEETING. I KNOW SPECIFICALLY DOCTOR FELTUS, THERE WAS SOME ISSUES WITH THE TRAFFIC ON VIRGINIA, AND THERE WERE A FEW THINGS THAT WERE MENTIONED SPECIFICALLY THAT I WANTED TO ADDRESS. SO FIRST, THERE WAS A MENTION OF THE IMAGINE ACADEMY CAUSING A LOT OF TRAFFIC DURING THE PICKUP AND THE DROP OFF. SO WHENEVER WE WENT BACK AND WE WORKED WITH STAFF, WE WORK WITH BOTH THE ENGINEERING AND THE PLANNING TEAM. WE LOOKED AT SOME OF THAT MITIGATION ON VIRGINIA. HOW CAN WE HELP FIGURE THIS OUT? SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE PLAN, I BELIEVE ON YOUR EXHIBIT C, YOU WILL SEE IT. IF YOU LOOK INTO WHAT WOULD BE FOR Y'ALL KIND OF THAT LOWER RIGHT CORNER, YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE IS THE PROPOSAL OF A DECELERATION LANE BEING ADDED TO VIRGINIA. SO CURRENTLY THERE IS NO DECELERATION LANE ON VIRGINIA INTO THAT. YOU BASICALLY JUST TURN IN THERE, WHIP INTO THE PARK, OR YOU WHIP INTO WALMART AND THAT'S HOW YOU GET THERE. SO WE WORKED WITH THE GUYS IN THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT COULD WE DO TO TRY TO HELP. AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS BROUGHT UP, IS IF WE COULD SLOW TRAFFIC DOWN A LITTLE BIT, EVEN THOUGH THAT ENTRANCE IS NOT OURS, WE'RE NOT ACTUALLY USING THAT TO ENTER INTO OUR PROPERTY. WE'RE GOING TO JUST DO THAT AS A WAY TO KIND OF BE A GOODWILL PARTNER FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE ROAD. SO CAN YOU POINT TO WHERE THAT WOULD BE LOCATED? YES, SIR. CAN I DRAW ON THIS? YES, THIS IS VERY FANCY. SO IT'S GOING TO BE RIGHT HERE. SO IT'S GOING TO BE THE DECEL INTO THERE. SO ANYWAY SO WE ARE GOING TO ADD THAT AND I WANTED TO KIND OF TALK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR, IF YOU JUST APPROVED DECEL LANES, THEY COST ABOUT 100 TO $150,000 TO PUT IN. SO ANY TENANT THAT COMES IN WITH ANY KIND OF USE, WHETHER IT'S MCDONALD'S OR NOT FOR A DRIVE THROUGH, IS GOING TO BE ENCUMBERED WITH THAT COST. THERE ARE NOT A LOT OF TENANTS WHO ARE GOING TO COME IN AND BE WILLING TO STOMACH THE 150 EXTRA THOUSAND DOLLARS TO HELP MITIGATE TRAFFIC ON VIRGINIA, WHICH MCDONALD'S IS VERY WILLING TO DO. AND SO THERE WAS ALSO TALK ABOUT THE PARK, BECAUSE THE WAY WE WERE COMING IN PREVIOUSLY, THERE WAS SOME ISSUES WITH TRYING TO CONGESTION IN THE PARK. THIS ROUTES US OUT COMPLETELY. WE'RE BASICALLY KEEPING EVERYTHING COMPLETELY ON OUR SITE. THERE ARE IF YOU LOOK ON YOUR SITE PLAN AGAIN, EXHIBIT C 15 STACKING SPACES THAT ALLOW FOR THE HOLDING OF ALL OF THOSE CARS COMPLETELY WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE SITE. SO UNLESS THE MCDONALD'S IS LIKE DOING CRAZY BUSINESS, WHICH IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN MAYBE THEY'LL JUST BUY YOU A WHOLE NEW CITY COUNCIL. I DON'T KNOW, WE'LL FIGURE THAT OUT, BUT UNLESS THEY'RE DOING 4050 CARS AT A TIME, THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A STACKING ISSUE ANYWHERE OFF OF SITE. SO WE'VE NOW COMPLETELY REROUTED THAT. WE WORKED WITH THE WALMART TEAM JUST TO KIND OF TRY TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING MADE SENSE OVER THERE. AND WE WANTED JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE BEING A GOOD PARTNER IN COMING IN TO DO THIS. THIS IS NOT A HUGE SITE. IT'S JUST BARELY OVER AN ACRE, WHICH MEANS IT'S NOT WELL SUITED FOR A FULL RESTAURANT. IT'S NOT WELL SUITED FOR RETAIL, BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANYTHING BIG ENOUGH THAT ANYONE'S GOING TO WANT TO BRING THAT OUT HERE. IT'S NOT WELL SUITED FOR MUCH OF ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR A QUICK SERVICE RESTAURANT. AND EVEN WITH THAT, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE CALLING THE ON THE GO CONCEPT FOR MCDONALD'S. IT'S MORE CENTERED FOR YOUR THIRD PARTY DELIVERIES, YOUR UBERS OR THINGS LIKE THAT, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY ASKING FOR. YOU GUYS APPROVED OVER 2300 RESIDENTIAL NEW HOME PERMITS LAST YEAR. THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE WANT. THEY WANT STUFF DELIVERED TO THEIR HOMES. THEY'RE TRYING TO GO IN BETWEEN PRACTICE, AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS. SO WHILE THERE ARE A LOT OF MCDONALD'S IN MCKINNEY, THERE ARE NOT A LOT OF ON THE GOES. AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE THINK IS A GREAT PRODUCT FOR THIS MARKET. BUT I THINK THAT THAT ANSWERS ALL OF THE DIFFERENT QUESTIONS AND THE DIFFERENT CONCERNS THAT WERE RAISED LAST TIME. SO I WOULD WELCOME ANY QUESTIONS THIS TIME. AND WE CAN CHAT ABOUT ANYTHING. SO I APPRECIATE THE THE REORIENTATION AND THE WILLINGNESS TO ADD THAT. LANE, CAN YOU ADD BACK THAT? SO MY CONCERN ACTUALLY WAS LESS ABOUT GETTING INTO THE PROPERTY AND ACTUALLY COMING OUT. WHY IS THIS NOT WORKING? I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT'S NOT WORKING. COUNCIL DOESN'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO ANNOTATE. THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

OKAY. SO EXITING OUT OF THE PROPERTY, GOING SOUTH AND THEN MAKING THAT EAST, THAT LEFT TURN TO GO EASTBOUND ON VIRGINIA IS FAR MORE OF A CONCERN. I THINK WHAT I, WHAT I'M SEEING THERE, WHEN I SEE A LOT OF NEAR MISSES AND I LIVE CLOSE TO THIS AREA, AND I THINK COUNCILMAN LYNCH ALSO CAN KIND OF ATTEST TO THIS IS KIND OF THAT FLOW OUT. AND I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO ADDRESS THAT CONCERN BECAUSE THAT INTERSECTION, WELL, IT'S NOT EVEN AN INTERSECTION, BUT THAT TURN OUT OF THAT PROPERTY GOING EASTBOUND IS FAR MORE OF AN ISSUE THAN THE DECELERATION TO GET INTO THAT PROPERTY, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

YEAH. AND WE WORKED WITH STAFF. WE WORK WITH THE ENGINEERING STAFF TO KIND OF FIGURE OUT HOW

[00:45:03]

CAN WE IN A PLACE THAT ACTUALLY WE CAN DO SOMETHING WITH OUR PROPERTY, DO THAT? UNFORTUNATELY, THE EXIT THAT YOU SEE OFF OF THE OR THE WALMART PROPERTY THERE, THAT'S NOT A PROPERTY THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO EVEN MODIFY. SO THAT IS NOT IN ANY WAY PART OF THE PROPERTY. WE'D HAVE TO GO TO MCDONALD'S OR WALMART TO DO THAT. AND THEY WERE NOT OPEN TO THAT CONVERSATION. AS FAR AS WE KNOW, FROM THE THE CURRENT PROPERTY OWNER. SO WHILE I UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE SCHOOL, AND I MEAN, I'M VERY HAPPY THAT THE SCHOOL IS SO SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE THE SCHOOL IS LIKE ALMOST A MILE AWAY. IT'S 0.8 MILES AWAY FROM WHERE WE ARE HERE. IF IT'S STACKING UP THAT MUCH, THAT SCHOOL IS DOING REALLY WELL.

BUT I'M I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN, BUT REALLY WHAT WE TRY TO DO WITH REROUTING THE SITE IS LIKE THE PLANNER SPOKE ABOUT, LIKE KATE SPOKE ABOUT JUST THE IDEA OF BEING ABLE TO EXIT OUT.

YOU CAN EXIT OVER ONTO HARDEN, YOU CAN EXIT OVER. IT GIVES YOU SOME DIFFERENT OPTIONS. IT NATURALLY FLOWS THE TRAFFIC THAT WAY, RATHER THAN IT FLOWING TOWARD VIRGINIA AS THE ONLY EXIT. SO IT ALLOWS FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE OPTION TO GO AND HOPEFULLY MITIGATE SOME OF THAT TRAFFIC WITH THE FLOW. I THINK MY ONLY CONCERN AS A RESIDENT WHO'S OVER HERE, A LOT PEOPLE ARE NOT TAKING THE OTHER EXITS. YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S THE BIG CONCERN. SO IF YOU COME OUT AND YOU GO WESTBOUND, WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN IS PEOPLE COME OUT OF THAT PROPERTY, GO WESTBOUND, AND THEN YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE LIGHT AT HARDEN TO MAKE THE NEXT U-TURN. AND SO PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH ONE LIGHT AND, YOU KNOW, WAIT AT THAT LIGHT, MAKE THE U-TURN, COME BACK, WAIT AT THE SAME LIGHT AGAIN TO JUST TO GO EASTBOUND. I'M JUST REALLY SUPER CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY COMING IN AND OUT OF THAT PROPERTY JUST AT THAT ONE ENTRANCE. AND THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY AN ISSUE FOR, YOU KNOW, YOU AS THE APPLICANT TO SOLVE. IT'S PROBABLY MORE ON THE CITY END TO SOLVE. BUT FOR ME, UNTIL THAT ISSUE IS SOLVED, I SEE A HUGE ISSUE WITH THE WITH THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE GETTING OUT OF THAT PROPERTY.

SO I'M IS ENGINEERING STAFF HERE IS Y'ALL REMIND ME IS VIRGINIA TECH STOCK ROAD. DOES ANYONE REMEMBER IT IS OUR ROAD. IT IS Y'ALL'S OKAY SO I CAN'T REMEMBER. SORRY. IT USED TO BE TEXDOT WAY BACK IN THE DAY. IT USED TO BE A I WAS LIKE, I FEEL LIKE IT WAS A TEXDOT ROAD AT ONE POINT, BUT THAT THAT THAT INTERSECTION AT HARDEN IS A NO U-TURN AND PEOPLE TURN. THEY STILL MAKE THE U-TURN BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO WAIT THROUGH THE LIGHT. BUT MORE OFTEN WHAT I SEE IS THAT PEOPLE ARE COMING OUT OF THIS, AND IT USED TO BE THAT THIS WHAT YOU HAVE CIRCLED HAD A NO LEFT TURN. BUT SO MANY PEOPLE, I THINK, WERE JUST BREAKING THAT RULE THAT NOW WE HAVE PEOPLE TURNING THERE. I MEAN, THERE'S A TURN LANE THERE, BUT IT IS. IT'S ALWAYS A CLOSE CALL. MAKES ME NERVOUS DRIVING IT AND I DRIVE IT OFTEN. SO. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT AND BUT THAT THE ISSUE EXISTS FOR WHETHER YOU'RE GOING TO WALMART OR ONE OF THOSE RESTAURANTS OR WHETHER YOU'RE AT BONNIE WINK. AND FREQUENTLY WHEN WE'RE AT BONNIE WINK, I MEAN, IT MAKES ABOUT US. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'LL GO UP TO HARDEN AND DO GO THERE AS OPPOSED TO MAKING THE LEFT ON VIRGINIA. SO THE ISSUE EXISTS FOR PEOPLE FOR ALL THESE PLACES. AND BUT THE VISIBILITY COMING OUT OF BONNIE WAKE IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE VISIBILITY AT THAT TURN. THAT TURN. YOU'RE COMING AROUND A CORNER. SO IT'S NOT QUITE. AND ALL I'M SAYING IS, MADAM MAYOR PRO TEM IS THAT IF IT WAS, IF IT WAS A STRESSFUL THING FOR SOMEONE AND I COULD SEE HOW IT WOULD BE FOR US, I SIMPLY WOULDN'T MAKE IT. I WOULD GO OUT TO BONNIE WINK AND GO UP TO HARDEN, OR I'D GO THROUGH THE WALMART PARKING LOT AND GET TO HARDEN THAT WAY. SO IT JUST IT'S AN ISSUE THAT EXISTS WHETHER YOU'RE IN WALMART, BONNIE WINK OR HERE. IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, THIS ISSUE AND I'LL SAY BETTER BONNIE WINK THE DOG PARK. RIGHT. BECAUSE THE DOG PARK IS WHAT'S REALLY ADJACENT TO THIS. SO I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT. IT'S WE'RE NOT COMPELLING ANYONE TO GO, BUT I THINK IT'S A, IT'S A, IT'S A GOOD USE. AND YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LOT OF MCDONALD'S IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS. BUT THE TWO CLOSEST ONES, PER MY MEMORY HERE ARE THE ONE DOWN SOUTH ON EL DORADO AND HARDEN, OR THE ONE JUST NORTH OF ADRIATICA KIND OF STONEBRIDGE AND VIRGINIA, AND THEN THE ONE AT 75. AND AND THERE'S ONE AT 75. THE FIRST ONE. YEAH. AND IF YOU CAN SPEAK TO THAT. SO WHAT MCDONALD'S HAS FOUND IS THAT PEOPLE GET A LITTLE BIT TESTY WHENEVER THEIR APPS TAKE LONGER THAN YOU NORMALLY EXPECT FOR A MCDONALD'S. AND SO THIS IS TO MITIGATE THAT PROBLEM. IT'S LIKE IF YOU WANT IF YOUR KIDS NEED A HAPPY MEAL AT HOME, THEY WANT IT IN 15 MINUTES, THEY DON'T WANT IT IN 45. AND WITH TRAFFIC AND EVERYTHING, SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS THAT WAY. AND SO THAT'S THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE ON THE GO PRODUCT HERE. AND THAT'S WHY THAT'S BEING PRESENTED. WAS THERE A REFERENCE AT ONE TIME THAT THERE WAS A NO LEFT TURN SIGN POSTED? IT WASN'T A NO LEFT TURN SIGN, BUT THAT LANE HAD A RIGHT TURN ONLY. SO YOU CAN COME IN ON ON ONE SIDE. BUT AS YOU'RE LEAVING, IT WAS JUST A RIGHT. RIGHT. ONLY TURN ON THAT LANE. OKAY. YEAH. I'M CURIOUS.

THE ON THE GO CONCEPT, THE CAR COUNT, THE TRAFFIC COUNT VERSUS THE TRADITIONAL STORE. GIVE US

[00:50:03]

GIVE US A SENSE BECAUSE THAT THAT CONCEPT IS INTRIGUING IN TERMS OF TRAFFIC COUNT. I'M JUST TRYING TO JUDGE IN MY MIND THE THE ACTUAL CAR TRAFFIC IMPACT AT THAT KIND OF MCDONALD'S. SO THE VOLUME IS INTERESTING BECAUSE IT WORKS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY THAN TRADITIONAL STORE, AS YOU CAN EXPECT. SO PEOPLE DON'T COME IN, SIT, GO AND PLAY AT A PLAY PLACE, REST IN PEACE, PLAY PLACES. BUT THEY ACTUALLY JUST COME THROUGH THE DRIVE THROUGH OR THEY COME THROUGH, YOU KNOW, THERE'S APP SPACES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THE CAR TRAFFIC, WHILE IT DOES FLOW, THE DRIVE THROUGH IS BUILT FOR THAT SPECIFICALLY. THAT'S WHY THE DRIVE THROUGH IS A LITTLE LARGER THAN IT IS FOR TRADITIONAL, ALLOWING FOR THAT BIG STACKING. AND SO I DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE EXACT NUMBERS FOR YOU. I WISH I DID ABOUT THE DIFFERENT TRAFFIC, BUT WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT THE PERSON IS THERE LESS AND LESS TIME, AND THEN THEY'RE JUST KIND OF COMING THROUGH THE DRIVE THROUGH, AND THEN THEY'RE GOING ON TO GET TO HARDEN AND DELIVER THEIR STUFF. SO THEY'RE NOT STACKING UP IN THAT. THEY'RE SPENDING A LOT OF TIME THERE. THERE'S NOT ANYONE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE TO BLOCK THE DRIVE THROUGH, WHICH IS CAUSING THE STACK UP, BECAUSE THERE AREN'T SPACES FOR PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO PARK AND STAY AND COME IN. AND SO THAT MITIGATES SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT YOU PROBABLY SEE IN A TRADITIONAL DRIVE THROUGH WHERE PEOPLE ARE BLOCKING THE DRIVE THROUGH AS THEY'RE BACKING OUT. OKAY. LOOK AT THAT. I MEAN, I TRAVEL THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION. I UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT COUNCILWOMAN FELTUS IS TALKING ABOUT. I WISH THERE WAS A WAY TO HAVE A LIGHT BACK WHERE BONNIE WENK IS, WHERE SORREL COMES IN. IT PROBABLY DOESN'T WARRANT ONE. BUT IF YOU IF YOU HAD ONE THERE, THEN THAT MIGHT THAT WOULD MAKE ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT IT. BUT OTHERWISE I'M. I STILL THINK THERE'S A CONCERN THERE. OTHER COMMENTS. THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM. IF YOU COME TONIGHT AND WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL ON THIS PROPOSED S U P VIRGINIA AND HARDEN, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM. ALL RIGHT I'LL GET YOU. GIVE ME ONE SECOND. I'LL GET YOU RIGHT BACK UP. I SAW THE LOOK IN YOUR EYE. NO. HOLD ON. NO ONE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. SO CAN WE GET A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? MAKE A MOTION? WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. I'LL SECOND A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN COUNCILWOMAN FELTUS AND A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN FRANKLIN TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. MAYOR PRO TEM, DID YOU MOTION I MOTION? YEAH. IT HAS. YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU HAVE TO WITHDRAW THAT. NO, NO, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING, I SWEAR. OKAY, THERE WE GO. THERE WE GO. THERE'S A GLITCH IN THE MATRIX. NOW WE'RE GOING WITH THAT. MOTION CARRIES. THE PUBLIC HEARING HAS BEEN CLOSED, SO COULD WE HAVE THE APPLICANT COME BACK UP? I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR. SEE WITH YOU. YES, HE'S WITH ME. SO IT'S LEE MORRIS FROM MCDONALD'S, AND WE'LL GET YOU A CARD. SO. BUT NO, HE WANTED TO CHAT ABOUT SOME OPTIONS. I MEAN, WE CAN'T MITIGATE ALL THE TRAFFIC ON VIRGINIA, BUT WE CAN PROBABLY TRY TO HELP. SO HE HAS A BACKGROUND IN CIVIL ENGINEERING, SO THAT HELPS A LOT. BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK HIM QUESTIONS ABOUT SOME MITIGATION PLEASE WE CAN OPEN THAT. YEAH. GOOD EVENING. LEE MORRIS WITH MCDONALD'S 128 GREENHILL TRAIL, ROANOKE, TEXAS. I WAS Y'ALL WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT LEFT TURN OUT. I WAS GOING TO PROPOSE KIND OF WHAT YOU HAD MENTIONED WHERE YOU HAVE LIKE A FORCED RIGHT FOR SOME. RIGHT. SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN IN IF YOU'RE HEADING EAST, ON OR ON VIRGINIA, TURN LEFT IN. BUT THEN IF YOU'RE WHEN YOU'RE LEAVING, YOU'RE FORCED TO TURN RIGHT. PEOPLE DO NOT DO THAT. BUT IF IT'S A RAISED BUT IF IT'S A RAISED MEDIAN, IT'S MODIFIED. THE APPROACH HAS TO BE MODIFIED.

YOU WOULDN'T I MEAN STRIPING. YEAH YOU WOULDN'T. IT WOULDN'T WORK. BUT IF YOU DID LIKE A PORK CHOP YOU KNOW WE KIND OF HAVE THAT. FORGIVE ME LEE, BUT WE KIND OF HAVE THAT AT TOM THUMB AND EL DORADO. IF YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE, YOU THINK ABOUT THAT TOM THUMB ON EL DORADO AND HARDEN AND THINK ABOUT IT AS IT CROSSES THE STREET TO THE KFC OR THE SONIC. YOU CAN MAKE A LEFT OFF EL DORADO TO GET INTO THE PARKING LOT. BUT YOU BUT ONCE YOU ONCE YOU'RE GOING BACK OUT, YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE A RIGHT ON EL DORADO. THAT WOULD PREVENT THE LEFT HAND TURNS.

OKAY. AND SO THEN THE QUESTION IS WHAT IS ENGINEERING? THINK OF YOUR THAT'S A OF THE IDEA, SOMETHING THAT I WOULD WANT TO DIG INTO WITH STAFF. SO. BUT I MEAN I DON'T THINK THAT'S

[00:55:06]

SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO SOLVE TODAY MR. MAYOR. YEAH I WOULD I WOULD JUST RECOMMEND IF THAT'S THE CASE, IF THAT'S THE REQUEST, WE HAVE TO HAVE OUR ENGINEERS TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND OPINE ACCORDINGLY. WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO OPINE ON THAT TONIGHT. OKAY. OKAY. CAN I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TABLE THIS ITEM, OR COULD WE APPROVE IT WITH A CONDITION TO CONTINUE TO THE NEXT MEETING? IF YOU WISH? I WANT TO SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TABLE THIS ITEM TO THE NEXT LAPTOP. THAT'S OKAY. SINCE Y'ALL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, WE WOULD NEED TO REOPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN TABLE IT TO THE NEXT ITEM SO THAT WE CAN HAVE THE DISCUSSION AGAIN. I WILL MAKE THAT MOTION. THEN I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION. HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN FELTUS TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND TABLE THE ITEM UNTIL THE NEXT REGULAR SCHEDULED MEETING. SECOND, BY MR. CLOUTIER, ANY DISCUSSION, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. THAT MOTION CARRIES. THE ITEM HAS BEEN TABLED UNTIL OUR NEXT REGULAR MEETING. OUR NEXT

[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Specific Use Permit Request for a Passenger Vehicle Fuel Sales (Movement Convenience Store), Located on the Southeast Corner of Coit Road and Virginia Parkway, and Accompanying Ordinance]

ITEM, 2500062A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR PASSENGER VEHICLE FUEL SALES STORE. THIS IS MOVEMENT CONVENIENCE STORE. THIS IS SOUTHEAST CORNER OF COURT ROAD AND VIRGINIA PARKWAY. I'M SORRY, MR. MAYOR. IT IS A LOT OF ME. TONIGHT YOU'RE BACK, AND THAT'S OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE REDUCED REQUIRED SETBACK. SO UNDERNEATH OUR UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, IT IS REQUIRED THAT ANY CONVENIENCE STORE THAT HAS THE GAS STATION HAVE A SETBACK OF 250FT FROM ANY EXISTING ZONED RESIDENTIAL USES. AND SO THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY, AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW, JUST HIT SOME RESIDENTIAL USES THAT ARE CURRENTLY BEING PROPOSED TO THE LEFT. AND SO THE APPLICANT WOULD BE MOVING FROM 250FT TO 230FT. TO HELP MITIGATE THAT, THE APPLICANT HAS INCREASED, LANDSCAPING, HAS INCREASED AN ADDITIONAL BUFFER AS WELL, AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF TREE PLANTINGS THAT THEY'RE PUTTING ALONG THE SIDE THAT FACES THAT RESIDENTIAL. GIVEN THE MITIGATION EFFORTS AND THE ALIGNMENT OF THE THE USE WITH OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN STAFF HAS NO OBJECTIONS TO THE SPECIFIC USE REQUEST OR SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. AS SUCH, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL. CAN I ASK A QUESTION? OF COURSE. IS THE LAND ACROSS THE STREET IN FRISCO OR IS IT IN MCKINNEY? I BELIEVE IT IS. FRISCO. YES. YEAH. OKAY. STILL RESIDENTIAL USE. SO WE WILL STILL PROTECT OUR OUR FRISCO RESIDENTS. AND KATIE, THIS PICTURE IS A RATHER CONTEMPORARY PICTURE IN THAT WHEN I LOOK AT THAT FRISCO LAND, IT IS NOT DEVELOPED YET. THERE ARE NO HOUSES EXISTING THERE.

SO ANYONE WHO ELECTED TO BUILD THEIR HOUSE THERE WOULD BUILD IT FULLY RECOGNIZING THERE'S A GAS STATION NEARBY. IS THAT FAIR TO SAY? THAT WOULD BE FAIR TO SAY THERE ARE SOME HOUSES THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION, BUT THE GAS STATION WOULD BE IN MOTION AS WELL. OTHER QUESTIONS OF MISS STRICKLAND. ONE. OKAY. THANK YOU. IS OUR APPLICANT HERE? HELLO. MY NAME IS RAPHAEL RUIZ AT 2005 SOUTH MASON ROAD, KATY, TEXAS, 77450. THANK YOU FOR SEEING THE SGP. ANY QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU FOR DRIVING. YOU SAID FROM KATY KATY. YEAH. AND THAT IS THE IS THAT THE CORNER WITH THE 7-ELEVEN RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM YOU RIGHT THERE I BELIEVE SO YES OKAY. OTHER QUESTIONS. COMMENTS FOR THE APPLICANT. THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE VERY MUCH. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM. IF YOU'RE COMING TONIGHT AND YOU'D LIKE TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING THIS PROPOSED ISSUE, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM. MR. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING HEARING AND APPROVE THIS ITEM. I WILL SECOND HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN FRANKLIN TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THE ITEM. AS FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION, A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CLAUDIA. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? OKAY. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. WE'RE STILL TRYING TO MOVE ON THIS, MR. MAYOR. THERE WE GO. I THINK WE'RE THERE. I'LL GET READY. THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. THAT MOTION CARRIES BY A VOTE OF

[01:00:05]

SEVEN. I'M SORRY. SIX IN FAVOR AND ONE AGAINST. NEXT ITEM IS 25-0056Z2. A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REZONE PROPERTY FROM C3 TO L1 LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. THIS IS AT THE NORTHWEST AND NORTHEAST CORNERS OF STATE HIGHWAY 121 AND TINA DRIVE. THANK YOU MR. THANK YOU.

COUNCIL. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO REZONE THE PROPERTY TO ALLOW FOR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES. STAFF IS NOT SUPPORTIVE OF THE PROPOSED REZONE AS IT IS ALONG ONE OF OUR MOST VISIBLE CORRIDORS OF. A 121. ADDITIONALLY, THIS PROPERTY IS ACTUALLY NEIGHBORING OF OUR MEDICI PROPERTY HERE TO THE WEST AS WELL. IT IS ALMOST ADJACENT TO OUR GIANT STADIUM THAT WE HAVE FOR MISD STAFF. FEELS THAT INDUSTRIAL USES ALONG 121 DOES NOT ALIGN WITH OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT CENTER PLACE TYPE, AND AS SUCH, THE C3 DESIGNATION STANDS TO BE MUCH MORE IS A MUCH BETTER FIT FOR THE 121 CORRIDOR. AS SUCH, STAFF DOES NOT RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REZONING REQUEST AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. KATE. ANY QUESTIONS? KATE, COULD YOU REMIND US HOW DID PLANNING AND ZONING VOTE ON THIS ITEM? PLANNING AND ZONING VOTED FOR THIS ITEM. THEY VOTED SEVEN ZERO TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR THE REZONING REQUEST. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? IS THERE APPLICANT HERE? YES. YES. THANK YOU. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL I'M BOB RODER, 1700 REDBUD, SUITE 300. MCKINNEY, ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT VANTRUST, WHICH IS THE SOLE OWNER OF ROANOKE MANOR THAT HOLDS TITLE TO THIS PROPERTY. I WANT TO START WITH SORT OF A MACRO OVERVIEW OF THIS PROPERTY AND THIS CORRIDOR. I PARTICIPATED, AS DID MOST OF YOU, IN THE WORK UP TO THE 2040 PLAN, WHERE THIS WAS DESIGNATED AS AN ENTERTAINMENT ZONE OR ENTERTAINMENT PLACE TYPE ALONG 121 AND I. I SUPPORTED THAT EFFORT THEN, AND I THINK IT WAS THE RIGHT CHOICE FROM A LONG TERM, COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING STANDPOINT. AS A RESULT OF THAT, AS YOU KNOW, IN 2018, THE MCKINNEY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION PURCHASED BASICALLY EVERY UNDEVELOPED TRACT OF LAND BETWEEN MY CLIENT'S PROPERTY AND STACEY ROAD, AND THEY TODAY OWN AND CONTROL THOSE VACANT PIECES OF PROPERTY. AGAIN, I SUPPORTED THAT WHEN THE MEDC DID IT. I THINK THAT'S THE PROPER USE OF THEIR FUNDS TO TRY TO KEEP THOSE PIECES OF PROPERTY AND SUPPORT AN ENTERTAINMENT TYPE GROWTH THERE, AND ONE THAT HAS BORNE FRUITION, APPARENTLY, IS THE MIXED USE WAVE PARK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I'M NOT SURE THAT I WILL CHARACTERIZE THAT CORRECTLY, SO KUDOS TO THE CITY, TO THE MEDC.

AS WITH ALL LONG RANGE PLANS, THESE ARE. COUNCILMAN CLAUDIA, USE 30,000FT. I'M GOING TO USE 100,000FT. THESE ARE DONE AT A VERY HIGH, HIGH LEVEL. AND THERE'S NO ATTENTION PAID INTENTIONALLY FOR INTENTIONALLY TO THE VARIOUS DETAILS OF THE INDIVIDUAL PROPERTIES THAT COMPRISE THAT, IN THIS CASE, ENTERTAINMENT ZONE OR ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT. AND WE'RE HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE THIS PROPERTY, MY CLIENT'S PROPERTY, DOES NOT LEND ITSELF FOR A COMMERCIAL RETAIL ENTERTAINMENT TYPE USE. SO I WANT TO DRILL DOWN A LITTLE BIT IN TERMS OF THE PROPERTY ITSELF. THIS PROPERTY IS NOT ON A CORNER. IT'S MID-BLOCK ON THE ACCESS ROAD OF SAM RAYBURN TOLLWAY. AS YOU KNOW, TOLLWAYS AND THEIR ACCESS ROADS HAVE VERY LIMITED HAVE THE ABILITY TO TO MAKE CURB CUTS VERY, VERY LIMITED FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY.

THERE'S AN AN LET ME LET ME SEE IF I CAN GET IT HERE. YEAH. I'M GONNA NEED SOME HELP GETTING TO MY MY LAST COUPLE OF SLIDES. OKAY. I THINK MAYBE NOT. MAYBE I CAN DO IT. THERE WE GO. OKAY.

[01:05:05]

WELL, THIS SLIDE THAT I'VE JUST PUT UP SHOWS THE OWNERSHIPS OF THE VACANT PROPERTIES ALONG 121 WITHIN THAT ENTERTAINMENT CORRIDOR. AND THAT'S NOT GOING TO SHOW ME EITHER. TALKING ABOUT ACCESS, ACCESS TO GET TO THIS PROPERTY. YOU'VE GOT SEVERAL WAYS YOU CAN GO IF YOU'RE COMING EAST ON 121 NORTHEAST ON 121, YOU'VE GOT AN EXIT AT LAKE FOREST. GET ON THE ACCESS ROAD, GO DOWN TO HARDEN, DO THE TEXAS U-TURN TO GET BACK HEADING WEST ON THE ACCESS ROAD TO GET TO THIS PROPERTY. IF YOU'RE COMING NORTH OR SOUTH OR NORTH ON 75 WANTING TO GET TO THIS PROPERTY, YOU'VE GOT TO ALSO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE LAKE FOREST EXIT, MAKE A U-TURN AND COME BACK AROUND UNDERNEATH HARDEN TO GET TO THIS PROPERTY. IF YOU'RE GOING ON, IF YOU'RE GOING NORTH OR SOUTH ON HARDEN, WELL, IF YOU'RE GOING IF YOU'RE GOING NORTH OR SOUTH OR HARDEN, YOU CAN YOU CAN GET ON THE ACCESS ROAD AND GET TO IT. OR WITH THE EXTENSION OF COLLIN MCKINNEY PARKWAY ACROSS THE NORTH, YOU COULD COME IN THAT DIRECTION. SO THIS IS NOT THE KIND OF THING THAT PEOPLE CAN DRIVE BY, CAN INTENTIONALLY GO TO AND DRIVE BY AND JUST PULL UP. THERE ARE ONLY TWO CURB CUTS ALLOWED OFF OF THIS ENTIRE 60 PLUS ACRE TRACT ONTO THE ACCESS ROAD. THAT'S BECAUSE PART OF IT IS RESTRICTED DUE TO AN ON RAMP, AND PART OF IT IS RESTRICTED DUE TO AN OFF RAMP. AND SO ONCE AGAIN, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A REALLY DIFFICULT TIME WITH A COMMERCIAL RETAIL ENTERTAINMENT TYPE USE HERE. LET ME SEE IF I CAN GET TO THE SITE PLAN. THIS IS THE PROPOSED LAYOUT. I KNOW THIS IS NOT A SITE PLAN HEARING, BUT THIS IS THE PROPOSED LAYOUT THAT MY CLIENT HAS WORKED WITH THE HOA REPRESENTATIVES FOR AVALON TO DEVELOP. THIS IS A SECOND ITERATION. THE FIRST ONE HAD THE BUILDINGS ON THE WEST SIDE IN A IN A NORTH SOUTH ORIENTATION. THIS HAS THEM IN AN EAST WEST ORIENTATION. SO WE'RE CREATING MORE OF AN OF AN OFFICE BUILDING. LOOK ALONG COLLIN MCKINNEY PARKWAY AND ALSO ALONG HIGHWAY SAM RAYBURN TOLLWAY. THE TRAFFIC PATTERNS THAT THIS USE WILL GENERATE WILL BASICALLY ALL BE CONCENTRATED ON THE ACCESS ROAD OF SAM RAYBURN TOLLWAY. THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON FOR ANY TRAFFIC TO COME THROUGH THE AVALON COMMUNITY TO GET TO THIS.

THERE MIGHT BE SOME TRAFFIC COMING DOWN HARDEN THAT WILL TAKE THE NORTHERN ROUTE ACROSS COLLIN MCKINNEY PARKWAY. AND BY THE WAY, WHEN THIS PROPERTY IS DEVELOPED, THEN THE OTHER TWO LANES OF COLLIN MCKINNEY PARKWAY WILL BE CONSTRUCTED AS PART OF THAT DEVELOPMENT. BUT FROM A USER STANDPOINT ON THIS PROPERTY, ANY TRAFFIC THAT'S COMING IN IS EITHER GOING TO COME OFF UP OR DOWN THE ACCESS ROAD, OR IT'S GOING TO COME ALONG THE THE NORTH ROAD, THE MCKINNEY PARKWAY ROAD TO GET TO THIS SHOULD BE NO TRAFFIC AT ALL GOING THROUGH THE AVALON COMMUNITY. THE PROPOSED USE IS TO DO THE SAME KIND OF THING THAT THE EAST GROUP HAS DONE OVER ACROSS FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL STADIUM, AND THAT IS IT'S A LOW IMPACT WAREHOUSE TYPE USE WON'T IT WILL HAVE DOCK HIGH WAREHOUSES, DOCK HIGH ACCESS ON THE INTERIORS OF THE BUILDINGS OR INTERIOR COURTYARDS, BUT IT WON'T HAVE A LOT OF TRUCKS THAT WILL SIT THERE IDLING AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. THIS IS BASICALLY A DELIVERY DROP OFF POINT AND A DELIVERY TAKEOUT POINT. A LOT OF THESE TENANTS WILL PROBABLY BE SERVICE BUSINESSES THAT NEED A PLACE TO STORE THEIR INVENTORY. AND SO THE REASON WHY WE COULDN'T COME IN UNDER A C3 OFFICE WAREHOUSE IS BECAUSE THE OFFICE COMPONENT IN YOUR OFFICE WAREHOUSE ZONE HAS TO BE AT LEAST 50% OF THE SQUARE FOOTAGE. AND THAT DOESN'T WORK FOR THIS. THESE BUILDINGS WILL BE WILL BE PROBABLY 30FT TALL, SINGLE STORY. THEY'LL LOOK LIKE TWO STORIES, BUT THEY'LL BE

[01:10:02]

ALMOST ESSENTIALLY THE SAME THAT YOU SEE WITH THE EAST GROUP AND ALSO ACROSS THE OTHER WAY ACROSS THE SOUTH SIDE OF 121. SO I'VE TOLD YOU ABOUT WHAT MY CLIENT WANTS TO DO WITH THE PROPERTY AND ALSO ADD A COUPLE OTHER THINGS FOR THIS PROPERTY TO DEVELOP AS AN ENTERTAINMENT USE OR RETAIL USE. IT'S GOING TO BE IN DIRECT COMPETITION WITH THE THREE LARGE TRACTS THAT ARE ALREADY OWNED BY THE EDC. AND MY CLIENT IS CERTAINLY NOT IN A POSITION TO GIVE DISCOUNTS ON LAND PRICES, IS NOT IN A POSITION TO GIVE FINANCIAL INCENTIVES FOR DEVELOPMENT. SO WE'RE AT A REAL ECONOMIC DISADVANTAGE, COMPETITIVE DISADVANTAGE, TO TRY TO DO SOMETHING THAT WOULD MEET WHAT I THINK THE ENTERTAINMENT PLACE TYPE ANTICIPATES. ALSO, I WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT THAT ENTERTAINMENT OR OR MIXED USE RETAIL EATERIES AND DRINK DRINKERS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF ARE NOT NECESSARILY GOOD NEIGHBORS TO THE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES THAT ARE ARE NORTH OF THIS. THIS IS GOING TO HAVE VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC AFTER 5:00. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAVE ALL NIGHT STUFF GOING ON, NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY RESTAURANT ODORS, NOT NEARLY THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT'S GOING TO BE GENERATED. SO THIS IS AN IDEAL FIT HERE, GIVEN THE LIMITATIONS ON ACCESS THAT THIS PROPERTY HAS. I'VE I THINK I'VE SAID ALL I NEED TO SAY. YOU GUYS HAVE A LONG AGENDA STILL. LET ME STOP RIGHT HERE. REQUEST YOUR FAVORABLE APPROVAL. BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. MR. ODOR, I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS. YOU'VE SAID THAT THE APPLICANT IS COMMITTED TO BUILDING THIS PRODUCT, AND THEY'RE WILLING TO DO IT IN A WAY THAT THE EAST GROUP DEVELOPED THE SIMILAR PRODUCT THERE ON HARDEN. WE AS A COUNCIL DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO REGULATE THE BUILDING STANDARDS OF THIS. AND ALSO I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT RECENT LEGISLATION. AUSTIN, THAT WOULD FREE UP THIS TRACT OF LAND TO BE MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT THAT MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPER HAVING TO COME AND ASK OUR PERMISSION. SO THOSE ARE MY TWO. MY TWO CONCERNS ARE THIS. AND LET ME ASK YOU, IF YOU'RE PREPARED TO HELP ME WITH THIS. NUMBER ONE, I'D LIKE TO KNOW THAT YOU WILL. YOU MEAN WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT THE THE BUILDING MATERIALS AND THE APPEARANCE AND THE VIBE BEING MUCH MORE LIKE THE EAST GROUP THAN PERHAPS THE STEPCHILD COUSIN OF THIS THAT IS OVER THERE BY THE STICKS ICE HOUSE, WHICH IS TO ME, NOT A GOOD RESULT. AND THE SECOND THING IS THAT, WILL YOU GUYS DO THIS? YOU KNOW, I CONSIDER THIS MAYBE A SINGLE, BUT IT'S A BASE HIT. BUT I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MULTIFAMILY COMING IN HERE AND CAUSING A LOT OF DISRUPTION FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NORTH, WITH THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN IT AND A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND A LOT OF STUFF. SO TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THAT. WELL, YOU BROUGHT OUT A POINT THAT I DON'T LIKE TO ADVERTISE IN PUBLIC, AND THAT IS THE STATE LEGISLATURE'S WAX AT THE CITY TO ALLOW MULTIFAMILY HERE. AND THAT'S YOU ACCURATELY. AND I GET IT. THEY WANT HOUSING, BUT THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT I THINK IT'S THE BEST RESULT HERE. SO MY CLIENT AND TRUST IS ONE OF THE LARGEST LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPERS IN THE SOUTH SOUTHWEST. THEY ALSO ARE A SIGNIFICANT OFFICE DEVELOPER. THEY BUILT AND OWNED TWO HIGH RISES AT THE STAR IN FRISCO, FOR EXAMPLE. SO THEY ARE A QUALITY FIRST DEVELOPER.

THE TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IN ANY WITH ANY OF THIS KIND OF PRODUCT IS GOING TO BE TILT WALL, AND SO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THE METAL SIDING, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THE TIN ROOFS, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ALL THAT. IT'S GOING TO BE IT'S GOING TO BE A TILT WALL PRODUCT JUST LIKE THE EAST CRUZ. MY CLIENT DOESN'T BUILD THESE AND RENT THEM UP AND THEN SELL THEM. MY CLIENT PUTS THIS IN ITS PORTFOLIO THAT IT'S HAD FOR YEARS AND YEARS. IT OPERATES IT. IT OPERATES IT WITH ITS OWN FORCES, MAINTAINS IT WITH ITS OWN FORCES. AND SO THIS IS A THIS IS NOT A BUILD IT AND SELL IT. THIS IS A BUILD IT AND HOLD IT. PLAY ON MY CLIENT'S PART. I THINK THE VANTRUST GROUP IS PROBABLY PRETTY WELL KNOWN TO SOME OF YOU IN THIS AREA, BUT THEY'RE FIRST CLASS, SO THAT'S THE BEST ASSURANCE I CAN GIVE

[01:15:01]

YOU, IS THAT MY CLIENT'S NOT GOING TO PUT UP SOMETHING THAT'S HALF BAKED. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. MR. THAT WAS MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS WHETHER THEY WERE GOING TO HOLD THIS OR SELL THESE OFF. BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU WHEN YOU SELL BUILDINGS LIKE THIS, YOU WE THEN YOU LOSE TOTAL CONTROL OF WHAT'S, YOU KNOW, HAPPENS AFTER THE AFTER EFFECT. THE TRASH, THE 18 WHEELERS JUST LEAVING STUFF EVERYWHERE. AND IF THEY'RE GOING TO MAINTAIN IT AND, YOU KNOW, AN HOA WITH THE, YOU KNOW, WITH THE, WITH THE TENANTS, IT MAKES ME FEEL A LITTLE BIT MORE COMFORTABLE THAT IT'S GOING TO BE MAINTAINED AND AND CLEAN.

COUNCIL MEMBER JONES, LET ME ADD MY CLIENT BILLS OUT OF POCKET. THEY DON'T GO OUT AND GET LOANS FOR THEM SIMPLY BECAUSE THIS IS THEIR CORE BUSINESS. YEAH. THANK YOU.

OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT. THANK YOU. MR. ROEDER. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM.

MORE. OH. DO YOU. OKAY. LUCKY YOU. 250075Z2. PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER. REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM PD TO WEST SIDE OF STONEBRIDGE DRIVE AND WEST OF COUGHLIN PARKWAY. MR. STRICKLAND. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I DID WANT TO MAKE COUNCIL AWARE. WE DID RECEIVE A WRITTEN PROTEST FOR THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY. I ACTUALLY JUST GAVE IT TO TONY. WE. IT WAS SUBMITTED AFTER THE REQUIRED TIME WAS NOT DOES NOT MEET ANY OF OUR REQUIREMENTS FOR NOTARIZATION, THE SIGNATURE REQUIREMENTS AND THE SIGNATURE. THE SIGNATURES DIDN'T ALIGN WITH THE REQUIREMENT FOR OUR PROPERTY, SO IT DOES NOT MEET OUR WRITTEN PROTEST REQUIREMENTS. HOWEVER, I DID WANT TO MAKE YOU AWARE THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING. I'M SO SORRY. I'M SO SORRY. IS THAT THE ACCORDING? AREN'T THERE NEW STANDARDS FOR SIGNATURES? YES, THERE ARE NEW STATE LAW STANDARDS FOR IT, AND IT WOULDN'T HAVE MET THE PREVIOUS STANDARDS OR THE NEW CURRENT STANDARDS UNDER STATE LAW. THANK YOU. YES. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO ALSO REZONE THIS PROPERTY TO C2. STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE, VERY SIMILAR TO THE LAST ONE AS IT WILL HELP SUPPORT THE RESIDENTIAL USES IN THE AREA AS WELL AS IT ALIGNS WITH OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AS SUCH, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ANYONE. KATE HAD A QUESTION REGARDING YOUR YOUR OPENING COMMENTS THAT THE WRITTEN PROTEST THAT WE WERE JUST HANDED DOES NOT MEET THE CITY'S QUALIFICATIONS. CAN YOU GO INTO A LITTLE FURTHER DETAIL? WE'VE GOT, I DON'T KNOW, 1020. 18 SOME ODD SIGNATURES, OF COURSE. SO IT WAS SUBMITTED AFTER THE FACT OF WHEN YOU WERE ABLE TO SUBMIT ANY KIND OF WRITTEN PROTEST FOR A CITY CITY COUNCIL TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ACTION ON. ADDITIONALLY, THE SIGNATURES DON'T ARE NOT WITHIN THE AREA THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR THE WRITTEN PROTEST TO MEET THE QUALIFYING PERCENTAGES. ADDITIONALLY, IT WAS NOT NOTARIZED IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE CITY WOULD BE ABLE TO ACCEPT IT SO IT DOESN'T MEET OUR STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS FOR US TO BE ABLE TO ACCEPT IT AS A WRITTEN PROTEST. SO THESE SIGNATURES MAY BE FROM THE AREA, BUT OUTSIDE THE THE CORRECT CORRECT DISTANCE FROM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. YES, SIR.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ARE THERE QUESTIONS, MR. HAUSER? CONSEQUENTLY, A SUPERMAJORITY IS NOT REQUIRED. CORRECT? OKAY. OTHER QUESTIONS OF MR. STRICKLAND. OKAY. THANK YOU. IS THERE APPLICANT HERE? YES. YOU ARE STILL HERE? NAME AND ADDRESS AGAIN, PLEASE. GRAHAM MCDOWELL, 8350 NORTH CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY, DALLAS, TEXAS 75206. SO WE RECEIVED OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE DOESN'T LIKE YOU. SO CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT. YES. YEAH. SO SO WE ARE AWARE WE WERE YOU KNOW GIVEN FEEDBACK FROM THOSE RESIDENTS. SO THE RESIDENTS PROVIDED US WITH FOR REASONS THAT THEY AND MOST OF THEM ARE IN THE HOMES THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF STONEBRIDGE PARKWAY THERE. SO THE FOUR MAIN REASONS AND I'LL, I'LL TOUCH ON EACH OF THEM. SO ONE IMPACT ON NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER TWO LOSS OF GREEN SPACE AND BUFFER, THREE TRAFFIC AND SAFETY RISKS. AND FOUR IS PROPERTY VALUE CONCERNS. SO ALL KIND OF GO DOWN THE LIST HERE. IMPACT ON NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER. THE THE MAIN POINT HERE THAT THE RESIDENTS WERE MAKING WAS NOISE TRAFFIC AND LIGHT POLLUTION. SO YOU KNOW, THE NOISE IN THE TRAFFIC, FIRST OF ALL, STONEBRIDGE PARKWAY ON THE CITY'S MTP, WE WILL EVENTUALLY BE BUILT. WE'VE ALREADY BUILT THE FIRST TWO LANES OF STONEBRIDGE THAT YOU CAN SEE

[01:25:02]

THERE. WHEN WE GO AND DEVELOP THIS PROPERTY, WE WOULD BUILD THE OTHER TWO LANES. THAT RIGHT OF WAY IS, I BELIEVE, 130FT IN TOTAL. AND SO, YOU KNOW, THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE THERE BOUGHT THEIR THEIR HOMES AT THE TIME WHEN STONEBRIDGE WAS ALREADY CONSTRUCTED. THAT WAS PART OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE HAD TO DO FOR PHASE ONE. SO AND THEN AS FAR AS THE NOISE AND LIGHT POLLUTION GOES, THE C TWO ZONING IS, YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY NOT A HEAVY INTENSIVE COMMERCIAL ZONING. THESE THINGS ARE LIKE, YOU KNOW, STAFF SAID IS OBVIOUSLY FOR NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES, MORE MORE DAYTIME USES. RIGHT. WE WE AS RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPERS LOVE TO TRY TO HAVE A DAYCARE IN EVERY ONE OF OUR COMMUNITIES. SO IT'S THINGS LIKE THAT USE THAT I DON'T PERSONALLY FEEL WOULD IMPACT NOISE OR, OR HAVE THAT LIGHT POLLUTION WOULDN'T BE, YOU KNOW, NIGHTTIME TYPE OPERATING BUSINESSES. NUMBER TWO, LOSS OF GREEN SPACE AND BUFFER. SO THIS AREA ALTHOUGH IT IS TEN ACRES, THERE'S ONLY A LITTLE OVER AN ACRE AND A HALF THAT'S ACTUALLY USABLE. THAT'S NOT IN THE FLOODPLAIN. THE REASON WE'RE REZONING THE ENTIRE AREA IS BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY IT'S PLATTED. SO IT'S EASIEST FOR US TO DO IT THAT WAY. SO, YOU KNOW, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THIS AREA WILL NOT BE ACTUALLY DEVELOPED FOR RETAIL USES. THERE WILL BE AT LEAST EIGHT ACRES JUST WITHIN THAT AREA THAT STAYS GREEN SPACE. ADDITIONALLY, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE STOVER CREEK THERE AND A FEW OF ITS TRIBUTARIES. WE HAVE 35 ACRES OF OF GREEN SPACE JUST IN THIS PHASE ALONE. SO, YOU KNOW, THE OVERALL IMPACT OF, OF AN ACRE OR TWO OF RETAIL THAT WOULD END UP SERVING THESE RESIDENTS IS, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY MITIGATED QUITE A BIT BY THOSE FACTS, TRAFFIC AND SAFETY RISKS. I TOUCHED ON THAT A LITTLE BIT WITH STONEBRIDGE DRIVE. WE'VE OBVIOUSLY WORKED EXTENSIVELY WITH STAFF ON THOSE APPROVALS AND WHAT THAT ROAD IS, HOW WIDE THAT RIGHT OF WAY IS, FOUR LANE DIVIDED. AND SO, YOU KNOW THAT THAT KIND OF SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. AND THEN PROPERTY VALUE CONCERNS WITH THE RETAIL TYPE USES THAT WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT HERE. THAT WOULD BE A SERVICE FOR THE RESIDENTS.

WE, YOU KNOW, HAVE SEEN IN OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT WE'VE DEVELOPED HERE IN DFW THAT WITH THE RIGHT USE THAT, YOU KNOW, ARE ALLOWED UNDER THE C-2 ZONING, THEN THE PROPERTY VALUES ACTUALLY WILL GO UP. CAN WE BRING UP THE ANNOTATION MARKER AND CAN YOU SHOW ME ON ON THIS PLOT WHERE THAT ONE ACRE ISH OF DEVELOPMENT. YEAH, SURE. SURE. IT'S PLUS OR MINUS KIND OF RIGHT IN THIS WORKING. OH, ON. THERE WE GO. RIGHT IN THAT AREA. OKAY. AND SO THE REST OF IT IS IN FLOODPLAIN. IT'S GOING TO REMAIN GREEN. THAT'S CORRECT. AWESOME. THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM. OKAY. OTHER QUESTIONS ANYONE. THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE VERY MUCH. YES, SIR. NO PROBLEM. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM. IF YOU'RE COMING TONIGHT AND WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS PLANNING ZONING REGARDING THIS PROPOSED REZONE AT FUTURE STONEBRIDGE DRIVE AND PARKWAY, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM. HAVE A MOTION. MR. MAYOR, I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THIS ITEM. I'LL SECOND HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN FELTUS TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THE ITEM. SECOND, BY MR. JONES.

MR. MAYOR, CAN I MAKE ONE COMMENT? YES. I'LL JUST SIMPLY SAY I APPRECIATE THE RESIDENTS SENDING THIS IN. AND DESPITE IT NOT CONFORMING TO ALL OF OUR RULES, I TAKE IT AT ITS FACE VALUE. THE REALITY IS, IS THIS IS A VERY SMALL HOUSING DEVELOPMENT THERE THAT IS KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE CAN LULL YOU INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY. THE LAST EAST WEST PARKWAY THAT WE'VE GOT GOING NORTH IN MCKINNEY IS THIS COUGHLIN PARKWAY, AND WE NAMED IT LAST YEAR, AND IT'S GOING TO BE A MAJOR ROAD LIKE VIRGINIA.

AND STONEBRIDGE WAS A HEAVY LIFT FOR THE CITY COUNCIL FOR MANY YEARS TRYING TO GET THAT PUNCHED THROUGH. AND THAT'S AND THAT'S COMING. SO THERE'S JUST SIMPLY GOING TO BE CHANGES TO THIS AREA. AND THIS IS NOT A THIS IS NOT A UNREASONABLE USE. AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT MORE USES IN THIS AREA AS WE AS WE DEVELOP IT AND FOLKS START MOVING IN. SO THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME MAKE THAT REMARK. I JUST WANT TO DO IT FOR THE RESIDENTS IN CASE THEY'RE WATCHING. I CAN'T AGREE MORE. I THINK, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE LOCATION, THIS IS WAY NORTHWEST AND THIS IS PROBABLY SOME OF OUR NEWEST RESIDENTS WHO PROBABLY ARE NOT ACCUSTOMED TO SEEING DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA. SO UNFORTUNATELY, WHAT'S GOING TO END UP HAPPENING IS ALL OF THAT GREEN SPACE AROUND THEM EVENTUALLY WILL BE DEVELOPED.

AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, JUST INCUMBENT UPON US TO DO SOME EDUCATION ABOUT WHAT THAT WHAT ALL THAT ENTAILS AND WHAT'S GOOD DEVELOPMENT, WHAT'S NOT GREAT DEVELOPMENT. I DON'T SEE THIS AS BEING BAD DEVELOPMENT AT ALL. SO APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. ANYONE

THANK YOU. IS THE APPLICANT HERE? YES. GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR. COUNCIL. MY NAME IS RYAN JOYCE WITH MICHAEL JOYCE, PROPERTY 767 JUSTIN ROAD, ROCKWALL, TEXAS 75087. I DO HAVE A PRESENTATION, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH IT JUST IT SEEMS SEEMS KIND OF A NOT NECESSARY. BUT I DO JUST WANT TO KIND OF GIVE YOU ALL A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND BEHIND KIND OF WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS PROPERTY. SO THIS IS THE CORNERSTONE RANCH PROPERTY. WE HAVE ACTUALLY ALREADY PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY FROM THEM. THEY ARE IN A POSITION WHERE THEY ARE RELOCATING AND BUILDING A NEW FACILITY UP NEAR WESTON, AND THEY HAVE USED THE PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE IN ORDER TO HELP PUSH THAT FACILITY ALONG. THEY HAVE ALREADY BROKEN GROUND ON THAT FACILITY IN LIGHT OF THEIR CONSTRUCTION. WE HAVE GIVEN THEM A THREE YEAR LEASE BACK ON THE PROPERTY, RENT FREE, SO THEY ARE ABLE TO TAKE THEIR TIME AND DESIGNING THEIR NEW FACILITY AND BUILDING THE NEW FACILITY UP THERE IN WESTON. SO I KNOW THAT SEVERAL OF YOU ALL HAVE SUPPORTED THE CORNERSTONE EFFORTS IN THE PAST, AND WE'RE BIG PROPONENTS OF WHAT THEY'RE DOING AS WELL, SO WE WANT TO BE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THEM ALSO. SO I JUST WANT TO KIND OF GIVE THAT LITTLE TIDBIT. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE, AND THANK YOU

[01:35:02]

FOR YOUR TIME. I HAVE A QUESTION. IS THIS MORE ABOUT CORNERSTONE RANCH OR MORE ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE? SERIOUSLY, IS IT SO YOU'RE LETTING THEM STAY FOR A PERIOD OF TIME UNTIL THEY BUILD THEIR NEW FACILITY? AND YOU'RE DOING WHAT WITH THIS PROPERTY THERE? WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING WITH IT RIGHT NOW. THIS IS JUST A STRAIGHT JUST A STRAIGHT ZONING. SO THEY THEY WANTED TO SELL THE PROPERTY IN ORDER TO HELP BUILD THEIR NEW FACILITY, BUT THEY STILL HAVE TO HAVE SOMEWHERE TO BE. SO WE'RE HAPPY TO LET THEM LET THEM STAY ON THE PROPERTY RENT FREE. IT DOES GIVE US SOME TAX BREAKS ON THE PROPERTY, BUT YOU KNOW, IT IS NOT ANY DIFFERENT.

IT JUST GIVES THEM THE CASH FLOW IN ORDER TO BUILD A NEW FACILITY. RIGHT. VERY GOOD.
