INDIVIDUAL ITEMS

[13. Council Subcommittee reports for current activities of the Legislative Committee, Governance Committee, Budget and Audit Committee, Frisco Square Management District, Dallas Regional Mobility Commission, North Central Texas Emergency Preparedness Committee, Frisco Veterans Advisory Committee, North Texas Commission, and Regional Transportation Council.]

SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS.

ANY UPDATES? BUDGET AND AUDIT COMMITTEE MET TODAY.

THE PRIMARY ITEM THAT WE HAD WAS WE MET OUR NEW AUDIT FIRM, [INAUDIBLE] PARTNERS, MR. DAN BARRON. THEY'LL BE STARTING THAT PROCESS AND DOING THE INTERIM WORK AND THE INITIAL WORK THAT THEY NEED TO DO HERE IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

WE HAD A BRIEF DISCUSSION REGARDING THE FISCAL 22 BUDGET ASSUMPTIONS AND BUDGET CALENDAR, AS WELL AS A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE NEW FEDERAL GRANT FUNDING.

BOTH OF THOSE THINGS ARE VERY EARLY ON IN THEIR LIFE CYCLE RIGHT NOW.

BUT THE SHORT VERSION WOULD BE THAT BUDGET WILL BE ON TRACK HALF TO US ON TIME OF THE SUMMER. AND THEN STAFF IS DIGGING INTO THE NEW FEDERAL GRANT FUNDING AND THE.

ALL THE STRINGS THAT ARE ATTACHED TO THAT, WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO [INAUDIBLE] IN THERE.

AND THEN AS WE WERE HERE TONIGHT, THERE'S AN EMAIL THAT CAME THROUGH THAT WE DIDN'T FIND OUT ABOUT DURING BUDGET AND AUDIT TODAY BECAUSE I THINK THE BUDGET AND AUDIT WAS FINDING OUT ABOUT IT ABOUT THAT TIME.

SO OUR BUDGET GROUP GOT THE GFOA DISTINGUISHED BUDGET PRESENTATION AWARD AGAIN FOR OUR OCTOBER 1ST, 2020 BUDGET.

SO I'D LIKE TO BE THE FIRST TO CONGRATULATE THE BUDGET OFFICE ON THAT AWARD AGAIN THIS YEAR. GOOD JOB EVERYBODY.

VERY GOOD. [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU, BILL.

WHAT OTHER SUBCOMMITTEE UPDATES DO WE HAVE? ON MAY 13TH, THE GOLD STAR FAMILY MONUMENT WAS DEDICATED TO COMMONS PARK AS PART OF THE VETERANS MEMORIAL OUT THERE.

SO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO LEADERSHIP FRISCO CLASS 13 CLASSMATES AND FELLOW VETERAN CHUCK WRIGHT FOR HIS WORK ON THAT PROJECT, IT WAS A LONG TIME COMING.

AND HE WORKED WITH THE WOODY WILLIAMS FOUNDATION.

WE ACTUALLY HAD WOODY WILLIAMS HERE, MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENT AND A HUGE CROWD, A GREAT TURNOUT. SO THANK EVERYONE FOR BEING PART OF THAT AND ALL THE CONTRIBUTIONS WE RECEIVED FROM BOTH THE VETERAN COMMUNITY AND THE GOOD CITIZENS OF FRISCO.

ANY OTHER UPDATES? OK, THAT WILL NOW MOVE US INTO OUR CONSENT AGENDA, ITEMS PLACED IN THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE

[CONSENT AGENDA]

CONSIDERED ROUTINE IN NATURE AND ARE CONSIDERED NON-CONTROVERSIAL.

THE CONSENT AGENDA CAN BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION.

MAJORITY OF THE COUNCIL IS REQUIRED TO MOVE ANY ITEM FOR DISCUSSION AND SEPARATE ACTION.

COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY VOTE ON ANY ITEM WITHOUT COMMENT MAY SUBMIT WRITTEN COMMENTS AS PART OF THE OFFICIAL RECORD. DID YOU WANT TO PULL [INAUDIBLE]? YEAH, I WANTED TO PULL ITEM 17.

MOTION BY WILL TO PULL ITEM 17.

SECOND BY JOHN. ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE. OPPOSE. THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

[00:30:03]

[17. Consider and act upon authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement by and between the City of Frisco and Studio TLA, LLC for the design services of “Shepherds Glenn Park Reinvestment”. (Engineering/RS)]

BETWEEN THE CITY OF FRISCO AND STUDIO TLA LLC FOR THE DESIGN SERVICES OF SHEPHERD'S GLEN PARK REINVESTMENT.

YEAH MAYOR, JUST DURING OUR WINTER WORK SESSION THIS YEAR, ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT WAS A TOP 10 COUNCIL PRIORITY WAS REINVESTING IN OUR CITY.

SO I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THE FACT THAT THIS IS ONE OF THOSE REINVESTING ELEMENTS.

I THINK AS WE GET INTO BUDGET TIME AND THE TIME OF THE YEAR THAT WE'RE IN NOW, THERE'S OFTEN CONVERSATION ABOUT WHERE THE TAX DOLLARS COME FROM AND WHERE THE TAX DOLLARS GO.

AND MUCH LIKE MANY OF US CAN BUY A HOME AND CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THAT HOME OR A CAR OR ANY OTHER ASSET WE HAVE, WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THE ASSETS WE HAVE IN THE CITY IN ORDER THAT THEY MAINTAIN THEIR VALUE.

SO IT'S GOOD FROM MY PERSPECTIVE.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT WE ARE STARTING TO WORK ON THAT AS STRONGLY, OBVIOUSLY SUPPORT THIS AND SUPPORT ANY MECHANISM WHERE WE'RE CARING FOR THE AGING ASSETS THAT WE HAVE WITH IT WITHIN THE CITY. I KNOW THAT BEAUTIFICATION SOMETIMES FOR SOME FOLKS SEEMS LIKE IT'S NOT MAYBE THE MOST EXPEDITIOUS USE OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS, BUT THAT'S HOW YOU THAT'S HOW YOU MAINTAIN A ASSET. THANK YOU WILL, THANKS FOR PULLING IT AND BRINGING THAT TO MORE ATTENTION. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT'D LIKE TO COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? APPROVE ITEM 17. SECOND.

MOTION BY WILL SECOND BY BILL ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE. OPPOSE. THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

THAT WILL NOT MOVE US INTO OUR REGULAR AGENDA.

[31. Public Hearing: Consider and act approving the land use assumptions, capital improvements projects, and the impact fee calculations, and direct Staff to prepare Ordinance of the same. (ENG/JG)]

ITEM THIRTY IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

CONSIDER AND ACT APPROVING THE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS AND IMPACT FEE CALCULATIONS AND DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE THE SAME.

YES, MAYOR, THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE JOHN ADKINS'S WITH KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATION AND ASSOCIATES TO HAVE A PRESENTATION ON THE PROPOSED MODIFICATION [INAUDIBLE]. THANK YOU PAUL . [INAUDIBLE] BE SURE I CAN READ THIS DOWN HERE, TOO.

OK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, PAUL.

THIS IS AN UPDATE THAT COMES FROM 2019 THAT WE CAME BEFORE YOU ON OUR STANDARD UPDATE THAT HAPPENS EVERY FIVE YEARS WITH A SLIGHT UPDATE TO SOME LAND USES IN ANOTHER PART OF THE CITY. WE HAVE A MODIFICATION, SLIGHT MODIFICATION TO THE WATER AND WASTEWATER PORTION OF THE DOCUMENT.

I'M GOING TO QUICKLY GO OVER THE IMPACT FEE BASICS, THE SERVICE AREA, THE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS AND CIPS, THE IMPACT FEE OPTIONS, THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION, ALONG WITH WHERE WE AT, WHERE WE ARE AT ON THE SCHEDULE.

OK, A QUICK RECAP ON BASICS.

WHAT OUR IMPACT FEES.

IT'S A ONE TIME FEE ASSESSED TO RECOVER A PORTION OF INFRASTRUCTURE COST REQUIRED TO SERVE NEW DEVELOPMENT.

IT'S GOVERNED BY CHAPTER 395 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE.

SO WHY IMPACT FEES? IT PROVIDES AN ADDITIONAL FUNDING TOOL FOR INFRASTRUCTURE FOR INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS THROUGHOUT THE CITY, FOR THE CITY TO BE ABLE TO FUND THOSE PROJECTS, THE PARTIAL FUNDING OF THOSE PROJECTS AND PROVIDES FOR AN ORDERLY GROWTH OF THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE IT BASES THOSE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS ON YOUR MASTER PLANS.

THE REASONS FOR THE UPDATE, WE'RE ADDING WATER AND WASTEWATER LINES TO SERVE PROJECTED GROWTH AND PROVIDE FUNDING OPTIONS FOR THOSE LINES.

YOUR SERVICE AREA FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER, YOUR SERVICE AREAS ENCOMPASSES THE ENTIRE CITY, SO YOU CAN SEE HERE IN THE FUNDS COLLECTED CAN BE SPENT THROUGHOUT THE AREA AS APPROPRIATE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S COMING TO THE COMMUNITY.

THE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS.

ON THE LEFT, YOU SEE THE 2019 IMPACT FEE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS MAP FROM THE REPORT AND IN 2021 WE'VE HIGHLIGHTED IN THE NORTHWEST PORTION OF THE CITY WHERE THE CHANGES OCCURRED THAT ARE PART OF BRINGING THIS UPDATE FORWARD.

AND SO YOU SEE THE ADDITION OF ABOUT 12,000 UNITS OF POPULATION GROWTH AS COMPARED TO THE 2019 STUDY, SO AND THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S HAPPENING UP IN THE NORTHWEST THERE. THOSE THAT GROWTH THEN DRIVES ADDITIONAL WATER AND WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE. THIS IS AN EXCERPT OF THAT PARTICULAR AREA FROM THE 2019 STUDY AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE REFLECTED CHANGES THAT HAPPENED IN THE 2021 STUDY.

SO I'LL KIND OF TOGGLE AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE A LITTLE BIT OF THE CHANGES THAT OCCURRED,

[00:35:01]

MOVE SOME LINES AROUND A LITTLE BIT, AND THEN ADDED A FEW MORE TO THAT.

AND THAT'S ON THE WATER SIDE.

ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE.

THIS WAS THE MAP FROM THE 2019 STUDY.

AND THEN 2021, YOU CAN SEE QUITE A FEW ADDITIONAL PROJECTS THAT NEEDED TO GO IN TO HANDLE THE ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT CHANGES TO, ONCE AGAIN, 2019.

2021. SO WHAT DOES, WHAT DOES THAT CAUSE? OK, THAT IS AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE IMPACT FEE CALCULATIONS I'LL GO THROUGH, THERE'S THREE MAIN BARS HERE THAT THE BOTTOM THERE'S FOUR BARS PER SECTION AND THAT'S WATER, WASTEWATER AND THEN ADDING TOGETHER WATER AND WASTEWATER.

AS FAR AS THE CHANGES TO THE FEES, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE IS THE SINGLE FAMILY CALCULATIONS. AND SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE WATER ON THE LEFT, I'LL EXPLAIN.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE IS A LOT OF BARS AND NUMBERS ON HERE, THE GRAY, THE GRAY.

IN 2019, WE CALCULATED A MAXIMUM FEE THAT THE CITY COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE CHARGED FOR A SINGLE FAMILY A LITTLE OVER THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS PER SERVICE UNIT.

THE COUNCIL THEN APPROVED A REDUCTION OF 70 PERCENT FROM THAT MAXIMUM TO THE CURRENT FEE YOU HAVE TODAY OF 2120 FOR WATER IMPACT FEE PER SERVICE UNIT.

WE RECALCULATED THAT HERE IN 2021 IN THE NEW MAXIMUM IS 3702.

AND THEN THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO BASICALLY KEEP THE CHARGE THE SAME.

NOW THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A THERE'S ABOUT A TEN DOLLAR DIFFERENCE THERE YOU SEE A 2110 INSTEAD OF 2120.

AND THE REASON FOR THAT LITTLE BIT OF CHANGE IS THE STAFF DID THE REDUCTION ON A WHOLE NUMBER OF 57 PERCENT.

SO IF YOU GET TO AN EXACT VALUE, IT WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAT WE ROUNDED TO A WHOLE PERCENT REDUCTION AND THEN WE CARRIED THAT SAME PHILOSOPHY FORWARD FOR THE WASTEWATER. AND THEN WHAT YOU SEE ON THE FAR RIGHT IS THE ADDITION OF THOSE TWO TOGETHER FOR SINGLE FAMILY.

AND THEN THE NEXT SLIDE IS VERY SIMILAR, EXCEPT THIS IS FOR ALL OTHER LAND USES BESIDES SINGLE FAMILY. AND IT IN THE 2019 STUDY, I'M LOOK AT WATER AGAIN AS YOUR EXAMPLE, THE MAXIMUM WAS THREE THOUSAND TWENTY EIGHT DOLLARS.

AND THE COUNCIL DECIDED TO CHARGE A AT THE MAXIMUM OF THAT PARTICULAR TIME.

OF THE 3028, WE CALCULATED THE NEW MAXIMUM AT 3702 AND THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION WAS TO KEEP THE NUMBER BASICALLY THE SAME.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THE THREE THOUSAND OR 3036 DOLLARS, WHICH IS 82 PERCENT OF YOUR NEW MAXIMUM. SO THAT SAME PHILOSOPHY WAS CARRIED THROUGH FOR WASTEWATER AND THEN THAT'S THE FAR RIGHT BARS AGAIN OR THE ADDITION OF BOTH OF THOSE TOGETHER.

SO. TO GET TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I'VE JUST SUMMARIZED HERE IN WORDS IS THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION FOR SINGLE FAMILY WAS TO RECOMMEND A FIFTY SEVEN PERCENT OF THE 2020 MAXIMUM ASSESSABLE.

AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS TO KEEP THE IMPACT FEES SIMILAR TO THE 2019 STUDY AND FOR ALL OTHER LAND USES SIMILAR TYPE APPROACH RECOMMENDATION OF 82 PERCENT OF THE 2021 MAXIMUM IN THE SAME REASONING BEHIND THAT TO KEEP THE CHARGE AT BASICALLY THE SAME AS YOU'RE CURRENTLY CHARGING FROM THE 2019 STUDY.

WE TOOK THIS FORWARD LAST MONTH TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE, AND THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS TO REVIEW THE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS AND THE IMPACT FEE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN. THEY REVIEWED THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATIONS THAT I JUST SHOWED YOU, AND THEY VOTED SEVEN ZERO IN FAVOR OF APPROVING THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS.

AND SO HERE'S WHERE WE ARE IN THE SCHEDULE, YOU SEE ON THE 27TH, THAT'S WHEN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE REVIEWED AND PROVIDED THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS.

AND HERE THIS EVENING, WE'RE AT THE 18TH.

IT'S THE COUNCIL'S CHANCE TO REVIEW THAT, MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS.

AND THEN BASED ON THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS, THE ORDINANCE WOULD BE ADOPTED AT THE NEXT MEETING AND THEN THE STAFF WOULD THEN CONTINUE ADMINISTRATING IMPACT FEES.

AND THAT'S THE PRESENTATION I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR GO BACK THROUGH ANY SPECIFIC ITEMS THAT YOU MAY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

OK, THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION.

COUNCIL THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

OPEN PUBLIC HEARING. MOTION BY WILL, SECOND BY BILL, ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE. OPPOSE. THE MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

A PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? CLOSE. MOTION BY BILL SECOND BY WILL ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE. OPPOSE. THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

[00:40:04]

SOUNDS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD AND THINGS STAYING RELATIVELY THE SAME.

BUT COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS THAT YOU HAVE? IT'S GOING TO, PAUL REFRESH MY MEMORY.

THE MAXIMUM CALCULATIONS, THOSE ARE ALL FORMULAIC.

STIPULATED BY STATE LAW, HOW WE COME UP WITH THOSE MAXIMUMS AND WHAT NOT.

IS THAT CORRECT? YES. WHAT LED US TO DOING THE 57, 82 IN 2019 [INAUDIBLE] 100 PERCENT? WELL, THE RECOMMENDATIONS THIS GO AROUND ARE WE WERE ADJUSTING FROM THE MAXIMUM TO SO THAT WE KEEP THE FEES ABOUT THE SAME AS THEY HAVE BEEN FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS.

SO IN 2019, WE WOULD GENERALLY TRIED TO KEEP THE FEES RELATIVELY STABLE AND APPROXIMATELY AS THEY HAVE BEEN TRACKING OVER THE NUMBER OF YEARS.

SO IN 2019.

THAT RECOMMENDATION WAS FOLLOWING THAT BASIC PHILOSOPHY.

AT THE TIME, AND THE DIFFERENCE REALLY IS, IS IN THE WAY THAT THE FEE IS CALCULATED, DEPENDS ON THE AMOUNT OF INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S NEEDED TO SUPPORT GROWTH OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS AND THE AMOUNT OF DEVELOPMENT THAT'S EXPECTED TO HAPPEN OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS, SO IN 2019. THE PICTURE WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN IT IS IN 2021.

AND SO THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEE THAT CAN BE CHARGED OR ASSESSED CHANGES AND THEN IT'S THE COUNCIL'S PREROGATIVE TO MODIFY THAT FROM THAT MAXIMUM TO ACHIEVE THE FAIR AMOUNT AS THEY SEE FIT.

IS THERE A NEXT? [INAUDIBLE] NEXT TIME.

THE, WE WOULD REQUEST THAT YOU THAT THE DIRECTION BE GIVEN TO.

MOTION BY WILL SECOND BY BILL ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE. OPPOSE. THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO AND THAT'LL TAKE US BACK TO CITIZEN INPUT.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO [INAUDIBLE].

SEEING NONE THAT WILL MOVE US TO ITEM 31, WHICH IS A PUBLIC HEARING AND REQUEST TO REZONE

[32. Public Hearing: A request to rezone 239.9± acres on the southeast corner of Legacy Drive and PGA Parkway from Agricultural to Planned Development – Office-2/Retail/Residential, to amend the Zoning Ordinance (Ordinance No. 11-04-09, as amended), and to consider to direct Staff to prepare an Ordinance of the same. Zoned Agricultural. Neighborhood #53. Zoning Case No. Z19-0019. Applicant: Jackson Walker LLP. TABLED 04/06/2021 and 05/04/2021.]

TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY NINE POINT NINE ACRES ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF LEGACY DRIVE AND PGA PARKWAY, FROM AG TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OFFICE TO RETAIL RESIDENTIAL TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE NUMBER 11-04-09 AS AMENDED AND TO CONSIDER TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE THE SAME ZONED AGRICULTURAL NEIGHBORHOOD NUMBER FIFTY THREE ZONING CASE NUMBER Z19-0019 APPLICANT JACKSON WALKER LLP, WHICH WAS TABLED ON APRIL 6TH AND MAY 4TH, 2021.

COUNCIL LOOK FOR A MOTION TO REMOVE FROM THE TABLE.

MOTION BY BILL SECOND BY WILL. ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE. OPPOSE. THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO THIS ITEM IS NOW REMOVED FROM THE TABLE.

OK MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I'LL JUST COVER THE HIGH POINTS.

THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE THIS, SINCE THE FIRST TIME THIS CASE WAS PRESENTED TO YOU.

WHEN IT WAS TABLED. THE FIRST TIME A REQUEST WAS MADE ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF BUILDING THE HIKE AND BIKE TRAIL FROM PGA PARKWAY TO LEGACY DRIVE AS PART OF THE FIRST PHASE, THE APPLICANT HAS CONCEDED THAT POINT, IT'S WORKED IN AND THAT NEEDS TO BE CONSTRUCTED AND IN PLACE PRIOR TO THE FIRST CO BEING ISSUED FOR ANY DEVELOPMENT ON THIS PROPERTY.

THE DETAILS ABOUT WHEN AND WHERE THAT GETS LOCATED WILL BE WORKED OUT AT A LATER TIME.

SECOND, IN THE URBAN COMMUNITY AND YOU MAY RECALL FROM THE FIRST TIME THEY WERE PUTTING A CAP OF FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO URBAN LIVING UNITS IN THAT SUB DISTRICT, THIS ONE REMOVES IT.

THERE'D BE NO URBAN LIVING IN THE URBAN COMMUNITY.

IT'S LIMITED TO THE SINGLE FAMILY COTTAGE OR OTHER RESIDENTIAL USES SUCH AS TOWNHOMES AND PATIO HOMES. AND THIS IS SOMETHING IMPORTANT IS THE MULTI THE SINGLE FAMILY COTTAGE AS WELL AS RESIDENTIAL UNITS IS CAPPED AT FIVE HUNDRED.

SO THAT IS FIVE HUNDRED UNITS SET ASIDE SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT.

WHAT THEY DON'T USE DOES NOT GET APPLIED TO URBAN LIVING.

SO IF THEY ONLY BUILD, LET'S SAY, IN THE COTTAGE IN THE URBAN COMMUNITY, IT'S EITHER ALL OR NONE. SO IF THEY DEVELOP THE SINGLE FAMILY COTTAGE AND THEY BUILD TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY, THEN THE OTHER TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY IS CAN'T BE APPLIED TO URBAN LIVING.

IT COULD BE APPLIED TO TOWNHOMES WITHIN THIS PD REQUEST IN SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT WAS PRESENTED TO YOU, IF THEY WANTED TO DO ANY TOWNHOMES, IT'S ONLY LIMITED TO THE MIXED USE URBAN AND THAT'S ONLY BY SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

[00:45:01]

SO THIS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT MAKING SURE RESIDENTIAL DOESN'T CANNIBALIZE UP ON COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES WITHIN THIS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, BECAUSE THAT'S THE CORE OF OVERLOOKING ON THE PGA AND THE OMNI.

[INAUDIBLE] NOW, THE ONE THING THEY DID REDUCE THE COUNT, WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY RECOMMENDED WAS TWENTY EIGHT FIFTY SIX, THEY TOOK OUT A HUNDRED AND FIFTY UNITS.

SO THEY THAT'S ABOUT A SIX PERCENT DROP IN IT.

THE OTHER THING IS 500 UNITS WOULD HAVE TO BE BUILT AT TYPE ONE, TYPE TWO CONSTRUCTION.

THAT CONSTRUCTION IS CONCRETE AND STILL, DOES NOT INCLUDE WOOD FRAME THAT YOU TYPICALLY SEE FOR URBAN LIVING.

SO IF THEY ONLY BUILD TWO HUNDRED AND TYPE ONE AND TYPE TWO.

THEY DON'T DO ANY. THAT'S THREE HUNDRED UNITS THAT GO AWAY.

BUT ALL THEY MAY NOT DO ANY TYPE ONE, TYPE TWO.

SO THOSE 500 UNITS WOULD NOT HAPPEN.

SO THAT'S THE HIGH POINT AND CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT'S BEEN PRESENTED. AND IF THAT'S ACCEPTABLE TO YOU, WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR MOTION IS SUBJECT TO WHAT IS IN YOUR COUNCIL PACKET FOR TONIGHT.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REVIEWED THIS, NOT INCLUDING THESE CHANGES, BUT THEY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST FOUR TO ZERO, WE HAD TWO COMMISSIONERS THAT WERE ABSENT. SO THE APPLICANT IS HERE.

I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU, JOHN. COUNCIL, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

DO WE HAVE TO REMOVE FROM THE TABLE BEFORE WE OPEN IT? DO WE HAVE TO OPEN IT AGAIN? YEAH, YEAH.

GO AHEAD AND OPEN IT UP. YES.

[INAUDIBLE] TO REOPEN PUBLIC HEARING.

MOTION BY WILL, SECOND BY JOHN, ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE. OPPOSE. MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN TO ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. CLAY YOU CAN COME ON UP.

[INAUDIBLE] THANK YOU, SO MY NAME IS CLAY [INAUDIBLE], MANAGING DIRECTOR WITH STILLWATER CAPITAL, HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICATION, AS JOHN MENTIONED. WE'VE OBVIOUSLY SPOKEN ABOUT THIS PREVIOUSLY AT COUNCIL MEETING, SO I'LL GO THROUGH THIS VERY QUICKLY.

WON'T SPEND TOO MUCH TIME GOING THROUGH THE NUANCE.

JUST WANT TO GIVE SOME CONTEXT FOR THE PROJECT.

OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, PGA FRISCO IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION TODAY.

THIS DEVELOPMENT SIDE IS IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF FEATURE LEGACY DRIVE ON EITHER SIDE OF PGA PARKWAY.

THE CONCEPT FOR THE OVERALL VISION, IT WAS A DESTINATION RESTAURANT, EXCUSE ME DESTINATION RESORT, GOLF COURSE AND CONVENTION CENTERS IS CURRENTLY BEING BUILT WITH OMNI AND THEN A VIBRANT, WALKABLE, MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT.

THIS IS A PROJECT THAT WE REFERENCE, WHICH IS IN PHOENIX, [INAUDIBLE] COMMONS, WHICH IS A CASE STUDY FOR, YOU KNOW, GENERALLY THE TYPE OF USES THAT WE'D LIKE TO SEE BUILT.

EVERYONE'S FAMILIAR WITH THE OMNI HOTEL, BROKE GROUND A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

VERY EXCITING PROJECT THAT WE'RE VERY PLEASED TO BE A PART OF AND WILL BE OPENING IN ROUGHLY TWENTY FOUR MONTHS IN MAY OF 2023, THE PROPERTY NEXT DOOR WITH THE LINK.

THIS IS AN IMAGE OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

YOU CAN SEE IN THE FOREGROUND THERE, THE GOLF COURSES WHICH ARE RECENTLY COMPLETED, THE OMNI HOTEL AND CONFERENCE CENTER ON THE LEFT EDGE THERE.

SEE IF I CAN FIGURE THIS GUY OUT AGAIN.

IT'S THE GREEN THERE. THERE IT IS.

SO THERE'S THE OMNI HOTEL AND MEETING SPACE.

THE PEDESTRIAN PROMENADE, WHICH RUNS THROUGH PGA FRISCO AND CROSSES LEGACY DRIVE IS REALLY THE HEARTBEAT OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

SO WE'VE CREATED A LARGE WORKING WITH STAFF, A LARGE PEDESTRIAN PROMENADE THAT GOES THROUGH THE CENTER OF THE DEVELOPMENT, ENSURING THAT IT'S A VERY WALKABLE, MIXED USE PROPERTY THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO GO SEAMLESSLY, BOTH FROM THE RESORT OVER TO OUR MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT AND FROM THE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT OVER TO THE RESORT.

SO VERY PLEASED WITH THE WALKABILITY, DESIGN AND FOCUS, AS WELL AS CAPITALIZING ON THE VIEWS IN AN APPROPRIATE MANNER AT A HEIGHT SIMILAR TO THE HOTEL HERE.

LOOKING OUT OVER THE GOLF COURSE.

THERE ARE SOME RIGHT OF WAY IN GOLF COURSE LAND THAT WAS PROVIDED ON THE UPFRONT OF THE DEVELOPMENT TO GET US TO THIS POINT.

WE WERE REFERENCING EARLIER WITH IMPACT FEE DISCUSSION AND INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING.

THE 2015 COMP PLAN, WHICH WAS ALSO A GUIDING INDICATOR FOR OUR PLAN UTILIZING THE URBAN CENTER DESIGNATION, IS SHOWN IN THE COMP PLAN.

WE WORKED WITH STAFF TO CREATE THREE INDEPENDENT DISTRICTS AS PART OF THE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT. SO THERE'S DIFFERENT STANDARDS THAT WOULD APPLY TO EACH.

GENERALLY SPEAKING, WE HAVE AN URBAN COMMUNITY, WHICH IS A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OVER HERE IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER KIND OF THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE PARCEL, WE HAVE A LARGE ENTERTAINMENT FOCUS WHICH IS INTENDED TO PLAY FOR BOTH LOCAL RESIDENTS AS WELL AS VISITORS TO THE HOTEL FOR LARGER FOOTPRINT ENTERTAINMENT USES.

AND THEN WE HAVE THE HEART OF THE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, ESSENTIALLY BETWEEN PGA PARKWAY AND LEGACY DRIVE, WHICH IS WHERE THE BULK OF THE DEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR.

AGAIN OFFICE, RETAIL, RESIDENTIAL, ENTERTAINMENT, HOSPITALITY, WELLNESS, TRUE MIXED USE

[00:50:06]

PROJECT. SOME OF THE LOOK AND FEEL IMAGERY OF THESE VARIOUS DISTRICTS ARE SHOWN HERE.

THESE ARE IDEAS OF WHAT YOU'RE LIKELY TO SEE.

IN ADDITION TO THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT.

WE SPENT A WHOLE LOT OF TIME ON THE PUBLIC REALM AREAS.

SO THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT PARKS OVERVIEW, OBVIOUSLY, OF PARKS AGREEMENT IS STILL FORTHCOMING AFTER THE ZONING CASE.

BUT WE'VE AGREED TO SOME FUNDAMENTAL BUILDING BLOCKS HERE.

SO WE HAVE A VERY LARGE PARKS ALLOCATION, SIGNIFICANT OPEN SPACE LAND AREA ALLOCATIONS, A VERY EXTENSIVE PEDESTRIAN NETWORK WITH A LOT OF HIKING BIKE TRAILS.

AS JOHN WAS MENTIONING EARLIER, WE'VE ALSO MADE A COMMITMENT AS A RESULT OF PREVIOUS MEETINGS TO BUILD THE HIKE AND BIKE TRAILS.

INITIALLY FROM THIS CONNECTION AT LEGACY THROUGH THE OPEN SPACE AND PARK SPACE UP TO PGA PARKWAY IS A REQUIREMENT FOR A CO FOR OUR FIRST PHASE OF CONSTRUCTION.

HE MENTIONED SEVERAL OTHER MODIFICATIONS THAT WE MADE AS A PART OF OUR PD APPLICATION FROM THE PREVIOUS MEETING, SO I WON'T GO THROUGH THOSE AGAIN HERE.

I THINK HE COVERED IT ALL IN HIS COMMENTS.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, LET ME JUST SAY THAT WE ARE EXTREMELY HAPPY AT STILLWATER JUST BASED ON THE PROCESS WE WENT THROUGH THAT WE'VE ACHIEVED.

WE FEEL THE GOAL OF CREATING THE FOUNDATION AND THE BUILDING BLOCKS FOR A TRUE MIXED USE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH EXTENSIVE FOCUS ON THE PUBLIC REALM FOR THE WALKABILITY AND PLACEMAKING AND AMENITIES, SIGNIFICANT OFFICE SPACE AND OFFICE CAMPUS AREAS, RETAIL, RESTAURANT, RESIDENTIAL, AND THEN AGAIN, SIGNIFICANT ENTERTAINMENT, MEDICAL AND WELLNESS USES. SO WE'RE CHECKING ALL THE BOXES AS FAR AS WE'RE CONCERNED FOR THE COMPONENTS THAT REALLY DELIVER ON OUR PROMISE THAT WE MADE TO TO THE CITY AND TO COUNCIL MEMBERS AND TO STAFF AND THE MANAGERS CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT AND ARE EXCITED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PLAN. SO I'LL END WITH THIS KIND OF VISUAL HERE AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

CLAY WHAT DO YOU ESTIMATE THE ULTIMATE BUILD OUT EVALUATION OF THIS PROJECT WILL BE? IT'LL BE NORTH OF A BILLION DOLLARS.

AT BUILD OUT. WE HAVE TWO TO TWO AND A HALF MILLION SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE SPACE, THREE TO FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND SQUARE FEET OF RETAIL, RESTAURANT, ENTERTAINMENT SPACE, THE RESIDENTIAL USES, SEVERAL HOTEL SITES.

IT'S A VERY, VERY DYNAMIC, LARGE, MIXED USE PROJECT.

SO, CLAY.

I WOULD NOT GO INTO DETAIL QUESTION DETAIL ABOUT ANYTHING.

WE CAN [INAUDIBLE]. OK, WE'LL CIRCLE BACK [INAUDIBLE] ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS.

GREAT, THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK DURING CITIZEN INPUT? MAYOR AND COUNCIL, MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE]'S HUSBAND, [LAUGHTER] WE LIVE AT, IT'S TRUE AND YOU ALL KNOW IT'S TRUE. I LIVE AT FIVE THOUSAND FOUR THACKERAY WITH REN AND OUR TWO BOYS, AND I'M HERE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS.

JUST BRIEFLY, Y'ALL HAVE OBVIOUSLY FOCUSED ON ALL OF THAT GOING FORWARD THINGS AND ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO HAPPEN.

WHAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW IS THE HISTORY BEHIND THE PROPERTY.

IT USED TO BE KNOWN AS THE [INAUDIBLE] PROPERTY, AND THE PRIOR OWNERS WERE VERY, VERY PROUD OF THEIR PROPERTY FOR OBVIOUS AND AND GREAT REASONS.

WHEN THE GOLF COURSE DESIGNERS WERE DESIGNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP COURSE, THEY NEEDED THIRTEEN ACRES THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED.

AND THEY SAID THAT THE THIRTEEN ACRES WITHOUT THAT, THEY WERE NOT GOING TO HAVE THE CHAMPIONSHIP COURSE.

THE ISSUE WITH THAT WAS, WAS THAT THAT WAS NOT PART OF THE FIELDS ESTATE.

IT WAS THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY.

SO WE WENT AND TALKED WITH THEM, HAD NUMEROUS CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM, DR.

TAYLOR AND HIS WIFE, WHO HAPPENED TO BE A HUGE GOLF FAN, BY THE WAY, SHE WAS THE THREE TIME CLUB CHAMPION AT HER CLUB AND DR.

TAYLOR AND SHE HAD FOR A LONG TIME NOT BEEN WILLING TO SELL THE PROPERTY.

BUT AND THEY ALSO WERE SORT OF CONCERNED OR DOUBTFUL THAT THE PGA OF AMERICA MIGHT BE WILLING TO MOVE. SO AS I'M SITTING THERE TALKING WITH THEM IN THEIR LIVING ROOM, DR.

TAYLOR PICKED UP THE PHONE AND CALL MR. PUREFOY TO VERIFY WHAT WE WERE SAYING IS TRUE.

AND THAT'S TRUE. AND WHILE HE WAS DOING THAT, HIS WIFE, WENT IN THE OTHER ROOM DID SOME RESEARCH, RESEARCHED A BUNCH OF US AND SAID, GOSH, WE THINK THAT THIS MIGHT BE THE RIGHT TIME TO DO SOMETHING WITH THIS PROPERTY.

WE HAVE TALKED FOR A LONG TIME ABOUT A LEGACY PROJECT FOR OUR PROPERTY.

AND SO WE MIGHT BE WILLING TO DO SOMETHING WITH THE THIRTEEN ACRES.

BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE REST OF THE PROPERTY IS DEALT WITH IN A LEGACY PROJECT KIND OF WAY, NOT JUST A BIG STORE, NOT GAS STATIONS, NOT NAIL SALONS, BUT A LEGACY PROJECT THAT WILL HONOR THIS PROPERTY THAT WE'VE OWNED FOR DECADES.

SO WE MET WITH THEM.

WE MET WITH THE HEIRS OF DR.

TAYLOR'S PARTNER, WHO HAD PURCHASED THAT PROPERTY DECADES AGO.

AND THEY DETERMINED THAT A PROJECT LIKE THIS ONE WAS THE TYPE OF LEGACY PROJECT THAT THEY

[00:55:04]

REALLY WANTED TO SEE TAKE FOR US TO GO INTO THE FUTURE.

THEY TOOK IT SERIOUSLY.

THEY CARED ABOUT THAT PROPERTY GREATLY.

AND THIS IS THE TYPE OF PROJECT THAT THEY WANTED.

AND I THOUGHT YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE HISTORY BECAUSE YOU'RE HONORING THAT HISTORY BY DOING THE RIGHT THING.

THANK YOU. AND WE CERTAINLY KNOW YOU AS MORE THAN A REN [INAUDIBLE]'S HUSBAND.

SO WHEN PEOPLE HEAR ME SPEAK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, FRISCO BEING A CITY WHERE A CITIZEN CAN HAVE A DREAM AND IT CAN COME TRUE, THE PGA WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN HERE HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR DAVE'S DREAM OF BRINGING HERE IN WHILE THE BATON GOT PASSED MANY, MANY TIMES ALONG THE WAY TO GET TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

IF IT WEREN'T FOR HIM, WE WOULDN'T BE SITTING HERE TODAY TALKING ABOUT THIS PROJECT.

SO THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR FEEDBACK.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE MOVE TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING.

MOTION BY WILL TO CLOSE, SECOND BY BILL, ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE. OPPOSE. THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

JOHN, FOR POINT OF REFERENCE, DO YOU MIND PUTTING UP THE SLIDE THAT WAS ON AT THE VERY BEGINNING THAT SHOWS REVIEW IN CASE WE NEED TO REFERENCE IT? WE SKIPPED A LOT OF THE PRESENTATION, AND PART OF IT IS BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS PROJECT FOR A VERY LONG TIME, HAS BEEN TABLED A COUPLE OF TIMES.

THE IRONY OF THIS SITE IS THAT THOSE THAT CAN SEE IT LOOK AT THIS SITE, AND THIS IS A VERY ODD SITE. SO IF YOU CAN IMAGINE THIS SITE, PRE PGA, THIS LAND WOULD BE WORTH NOT A WHOLE LOT. YOU'VE GOT AN ODD SHAPE TO IT.

YOU'VE GOT FLOOD PLAIN THAT DISRUPTS IT THROUGH THROUGH THE MIDDLE.

YOU LOOK AT THIS AND YOU'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT INDUSTRIAL TILT WALL CONSTRUCTION, LOW RISE OFFICE, YOU KNOW, VERY UNINSPIRING USES THAT WOULD PROBABLY EVENTUALLY BE BUILT HERE, PROBABLY 20 OR 30 YEARS FROM NOW.

WE'RE SITTING HERE TODAY ABOUT POTENTIALLY BUILDING A BILLION DOLLAR DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE OF THE HALO EFFECT OF THE PGA.

AND THOSE ARE THINGS THAT ARE NEVER CALCULATED ON A RETURN ON INVESTMENT CALCULATION WHEN WE DO PROJECTS LIKE THIS.

SO WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE PGA BRING IN TWO AND A HALF BILLION DOLLARS TO FRISCO THE LAST 20 YEARS, IT DID NOT EVEN LOOK AT WHAT IT WAS GOING TO DO TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES SUCH AS THIS.

IRONICALLY, THIS ODD SHAPED PROPERTY IS LIKELY ONE OF OUR MOST IMPORTANT ZONING CASES WE'VE HAD, AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE ZONING CASE IN TOTALITY OF THIS WHOLE REGION, WHICH IS PGA FRISCO REGION.

AND WHEN WE DEVELOPED AND WE APPROVED THE PGA AND OMNI, IT WAS SPECIFICALLY DONE IN AS LESS DENSE ENVIRONMENT AS POSSIBLE.

MUCH OF THE ACREAGE IS OBVIOUSLY GIVEN TO THE COURSE AND OPEN SPACE, AND THAT IS LAND THAT WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN USED FOR ANYTHING ELSE THAT'S BEING TRANSFORMED INTO A WORLD-CLASS GOLF COURSE WHERE THEY DID SPRAWLING RETAIL.

IN FACT, THEY DID LESS RETAIL THAN WE EVEN WANTED WHEN WE CAME BACK THROUGH IT WITH THE IDEA THAT THEY WANTED TO DO LESS ON THEIR SITE AND WE WOULD EXTEND THOSE USES TO THE SURROUNDING SITES.

WE HAVE ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT CONFERENCE CENTER THAT THIS CITY HAS INVESTED IN.

AND SO YOU NEED THOSE ANCILLARY USES ADJACENT TO IT TO TO FILL THAT.

AND THIS IS THE ONLY PROPERTY THAT WILL ACTUALLY HAVE UNOBSTRUCTED VIEWS OF THE GOLF COURSE. AND BECAUSE OF HOW IMPORTANT THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY IS, WE'VE PROBABLY NEVER BEEN MORE DEMANDING, MORE DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH AND MORE CHALLENGING WITH ANY DEVELOPER THAN WE'VE BEEN ON THIS ONE. AND I THANK YOU FOR BEING PATIENT.

WE MADE YOU TAKE A BACK SEAT TO THE FIELD'S DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE THAT WAS GOING TO DICTATE WHAT YOU BECAME. WE MADE YOU TAKE A BACK SEAT AS WE RE-PLANNED WHERE THE ROADS WERE GOING TO BE. WE MADE YOU TAKE A BACK SEAT AS WE WORKED WITH FIELDS AND PGA AND EVERYTHING ELSE AND ESSENTIALLY MADE YOU COME LAST BECAUSE YOU ARE THE FINAL PIECE OF THIS WHOLE PUZZLE.

AND SO I'M VERY EXCITED TO GET HERE TONIGHT.

I'M PROUD OF OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO CONTINUE TO PUSH HARDER AND HARDER AND HARDER FOR EVERY LITTLE ELEMENT THAT IS IMPORTANT TO OUR RESIDENTS.

YOU KNOW, FOR GETTING THE TRAIL IN THERE FOR LISTENING TO OUR RESIDENTS WHEN THEY SAY, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT CHEAP APARTMENTS, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY WOULD COMMIT 500 UNITS TO TYPE ONE, TYPE TWO CONSTRUCTION, THAT THEY WOULD REMOVE THE DENSITY REQUIREMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN ADVERTISED IN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR MANY, MANY YEARS THAT YOU WOULD WORK WITH US ON THE URBAN COMMUNITIES, THAT YOU WOULD DO ALL THESE THINGS AND BE A GREAT PARTNER AND GIVE A PROPERTY TO THE LAND SO IT COULD ALL HAPPEN TO BEGIN WITH.

SO I KNOW MY COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE A LOT OF COMMENTS, A LOT OF THOUGHTS.

[01:00:01]

BUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT OUR BUDGETS AND YOU KNOW, HOW WE WIN ALL THESE DISTINGUISHED AWARDS FOR OUR BUDGETS AND SO FORTH AND HAVE OUR LOW TAX RATES AND DO HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS, AND HOW DO WE DELIVER ALL THESE KINDS OF THINGS? IT'S BECAUSE WE'RE DOING WORLD CLASS DEVELOPMENTS AND SO WE CANNOT SIT HERE AND SAY WE'RE GOING TO BE CONSERVATIVE FINANCIAL PLANNERS OF THIS CITY AND LOOK AT TAXPAYERS IN THE EYE AND SAY, WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN EVERY SINGLE DAY, EVERY SINGLE COUNCIL MEETING, EVERY SINGLE VOTE TO MAKE SURE WE REDUCE YOUR TAXES AND DELIVER THE HIGHEST LEVEL SERVICE AT THE LOWEST RATE.

WE CANNOT LOOK AT TAXPAYER IN THE EYE AND SAY THAT AND THEN TURN AROUND AND DECLINE BILLION DOLLAR WORLD CLASS DEVELOPMENTS.

AND SO WITH THAT, SHONA I KNOW YOU HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS YOU WANTED TO GO [INAUDIBLE].

THANK YOU, MAYOR. AND I GUESS JOHN AND CLAY, SEVERAL OF THESE QUESTIONS ARE KIND OF FOR BOTH OF YOU, BUT PROBABLY MORE FOR CLAY AND SOME OF THE ONES AS WE'RE WALKING THROUGH.

SO, JOHN, HOW ARE WE ALL WANT TO TAKE THESE.

I DON'T KNOW IF CLAY WANTS TO STEP UP HERE AS WELL.

AND I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS, AND CLAY I DO APPRECIATE THAT YOU SPENT QUITE A BIT OF TIME WITH ME IN ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS.

SO I WANT TO KIND OF JUST GO THROUGH TO MAKE SURE THAT.

JUST WHERE I'VE COME THROUGH AND WE TALKED AND JUST A COUPLE OF THESE THINGS AND I'LL LET BILL SPEAK TO KIND OF THE HIKE AND BIKE STUFF, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WAS IMPORTANT TO HIM.

BUT JUST TO CLARIFY, AND I KNOW THIS WAS MENTIONED EARLIER, BUT ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WAS THE HIKE AND BIKE TRAIL TIMING ABOUT NOT IT BEING DELAYED AND NOT BEING.

WELL, WE'LL DO IT WHEN IT'S IT IS FIRST PHASE NO MATTER WHAT.

RIGHT? YES. OK, I ALSO HAD A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE NUMBER OF UNITS THAT WERE ALLOWED ON HERE. AND SO CAN WE WALK THROUGH A LITTLE BIT? I KNOW YOU BRIEFLY SAID THEM, BUT I JUST WANT TO GO THROUGH A COUPLE OF THINGS.

SO ON THAT SOUTHEASTERN CORNER, WHICH, AS YOU SEE, LOOKS LIKE WHERE IT SAYS URBAN COMMUNITY, I THINK THAT'S KIND OF A MISNOMER WHEN YOU SAY URBAN COMMUNITY.

AND I'VE SAID THAT ALL ALONG, AND I HATE THAT NAME BECAUSE TO ME WHAT URBAN COMMUNITY MEANS IS HIGH RISE APARTMENTS.

AND THAT IS NOT AT ALL URBAN COMMUNITY.

THERE IS IT'S EITHER TOWNHOME OR THE COTTAGE STYLE.

AND IF THE COTTAGE STYLE ARE PERMITTED, THEY'RE LIMITED IN NUMBER AND IT'S LIMITED IN THE DESIGN AND WHAT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

CORRECT? SO IT'S GOING TO BE THE HIGHEST STANDARDS THAT.

YES. NOW, THE REASON THEY CALL IT URBAN COMMUNITY, IT'S MORPHED SINCE THEN.

SO THAT'S WHERE IT STARTED.

SO IT'S NOW DEFINITELY LOWER DENSITY, AS YOU POINTED OUT.

SO WE'VE WE'VE PUSHED ALL THAT DOWN.

THAT'S RIGHT. OK, AND I THINK, JOHN, YOUR POINT OF THAT, THE RESIDENTIAL IS DECREASING.

IT CANNOT CANNIBALIZE THE COMMERCIAL.

AND THAT BECAUSE I THINK THAT HAS BEEN OUR PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF DEVELOPMENTS IN THE PAST IS THAT THEY SEEM TO CANNIBALIZE THE COMMERCIAL THAT EXISTED.

OK. THE COTTAGE STYLES AND WE TALKED ABOUT THAT THEY HAVE TO COME BACK AND BE APPROVED AS FAR AS THE STYLES, THEY HAVE TO MATCH A CERTAIN STYLE OR THEY CAN'T BE BUILT.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE. YEAH, THAT'S INCORPORATED TO MEET THE PD STANDARDS.

AND SO, LIKE I MENTIONED EARLIER, THEIR CAPPED EIGHT UNITS TO THE ACRE, THEY CANNOT EXCEED THAT AND THEIR STANDARDS WITH IN PLACE TO AVOID WHAT WE DISCUSSED BACK AT THE WINTER WORK SESSION.

SO THIS IS TO GIVE IT MORE OF A SINGLE FAMILY FLARE INSTEAD OF A PACKED IN TYPE LOOK.

SO LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE REST OF THE PROPERTY FOR A MINUTE.

THE NUMBER OF TEXAS WRAP UNITS AND CLAY WHEN I ASKED YOU ABOUT THIS, THE NUMBER OF TEXAS WRAP UNITS, WHICH IS KIND OF WHAT WE WOULD CONSIDER THAT STACKED APARTMENT TYPE STYLE THAT'S BEEN DECREASED BY A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE.

AND I THINK YOU SHARED WITH ME, WHAT'S THAT PERCENTAGE THAT DECREASE THAT IN THE LAST? YES. SO WE REDUCED THE OVERALL RESIDENTIAL COUNT BY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY UNITS.

WE TOOK FIVE HUNDRED UNITS OUT FOR THE COTTAGE PATIO TOWNHOME PRODUCTS AND FIVE HUNDRED UNITS OUT FOR TYPE ONE OR TYPE TWO CONSTRUCTION.

SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ELEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY UNITS, WHICH IS ALMOST 30 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL PROJECT ELIMINATED FROM THAT USE YOU'RE DESCRIBING AND DEDICATED TOWARDS THESE OTHER USES. SO 30 PERCENT HAS BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THE [INAUDIBLE].

THAT'S CORRECT. ONE OTHER COMMENT ON THAT, IF I MAY.

THAT RESIDENTIAL COUNT IS ONLY ACHIEVABLE WITH THERE ARE NOW PROVISIONS THAT ARE OUTLINED IN THE PD. YOU'RE GETTING AHEAD OF ME.

OH, SORRY. REMEMBER I TOLD YOU I HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS WE WENT THROUGH, SO.

AND YOU SAID THE 500 UNITS, IF THEY CAN DO UP TO 500 UNITS THAT ARE THE CLASS 1A, WHICH IS THE STEEL AND CONCRETE. SO THAT'S NOT YOUR TYPICAL GARDEN STYLE APARTMENTS.

IT'S THIS. THE HIGHEST OF LUXURY APARTMENTS THAT YOU CAN HAVE.

THAT'S CORRECT.

IF THERE'S GOING TO BE ANY. SO AN OVERALL REDUCTION OF ABOUT TWENTY FIVE PERCENT, I THINK, FOR THE ENTIRE PROJECT IN RESIDENTIAL, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. AND THEN THE PHASING REQUIREMENT FOR THOSE UNITS, WHICH IS WHAT YOU WERE JUST STARTING TO TALK SO FOR WHAT IS THE PHASING REQUIREMENT FOR ANY OF THE UNITS? ONCE YOU GET ONCE YOU GET FIRST PAST THAT FIRST FOUR HUNDRED, WHAT IS THE PHASING

[01:05:05]

REQUIREMENT IN ORDER TO GET EVEN A SINGLE APARTMENT, ONE SINGLE RESIDENTIAL UNIT AFTER THAT? THAT'S RIGHT. IT'S ONE UNIT PER SQUARE FOOT OF HIGH END COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

AND SO WITHIN THE PD STANDARDS, THERE ARE CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF WHAT QUALIFIES AS HIGH END COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THINK CLASS A OFFICE, CLASS A RETAIL, CLASS A YOU KNOW COMMERCIAL PRODUCT.

SO FOR EVERY EXCUSE ME, FOR EVERY THOUSAND SQUARE FEET, NOT ONE SQUARE, FOR EVERY THOUSAND SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION, YOU GET ONE SINGLE RESIDENTIAL UNIT.

SO THAT KIND OF MEANS IF THE OFFICES AND RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL IS NOT THERE, THEN THE RESIDENTIAL DOESN'T COME. THAT'S CORRECT.

CAN'T BE BUILT. SO IN THE OFFICE SPACE.

I KNOW JEFF TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT LIKE THE OVERALL VALUE, BUT IF WE CAN KIND OF JUST BREAK THIS DOWN A LITTLE BIT. SO THE AMOUNT OF CLASS A OFFICE SPACE THAT'S PLANNED IS HOW MUCH? ROUGHLY TWO TO TWO AND A HALF MILLION SQUARE FEET, DEPENDING ON TOTAL HEIGHT, ULTIMATE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDINGS.

YOU HAVE ANY IDEA THE CALCULATION ON THE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY TAXES THAT THAT WOULD BRING IN ANNUALLY? YEAH, JUST THE WELL, THE OFFICE PRODUCT ALONE IS TWO AND A HALF TO THREE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS IN TODAY'S VALUES.

SO OBVIOUSLY INFLATING IN TIME AFTER THAT.

THAT'S ONLY FOR THE OFFICE SPACE.

THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT IS ROUGHLY SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS IN ANNUAL AD VALOREM TAX REVENUE.

TODAY'S VALUES. IN TODAY'S VALUES.

SO WHICH? HECK THEY'RE GOING UP NEXT WEEK. SO FOR THE OFFICE SPACE ALONE, WE'RE AT THREE MILLION A YEAR ADDED TO OUR. CORRECT.

OK. YOU PROBABLY HAVE SOME CALCULATION AS TO BASE.

PEOPLE WHO ARE SMARTER THAN I PROBABLY HAVE SOME CALCULATION BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF JOBS PER OFFICE SQUARE FOOT.

SO LIKE IF YOU HAVE A THOUSAND SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE SPACE, ABOUT HOW MANY JOBS IS THAT? SO IN THIS ENTIRE PROPERTY OF THE TWO AND A HALF MILLION SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL SPACE, DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW MANY JOBS THAT WOULD BE IN THAT? YES. BROUGHT INTO THAT AREA? SO OBVIOUSLY, DIFFERENT OFFICE BUILDINGS, DIFFERENT DENSITY FOR THIS TYPE OF PRODUCT WITH THE TYPE OF BUILDINGS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO BE BUILT HERE. IT'S ROUGHLY EIGHT TO TEN THOUSAND OFFICE JOBS.

THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE RETAIL, RESTAURANT, HOSPITALITY, ENTERTAINMENT, ADDITIONAL JOBS.

WE'RE TALKING EIGHT TO TEN THOUSAND OFFICE EMPLOYEE JOBS IN THE DEVELOPMENT.

EIGHT TO TEN THOUSAND JOBS THAT GO HERE INSTEAD OF GOING ACROSS 121.

IN FRISCO. NORTH OF 380.

THAT'S CORRECT. OK.

AND THEN ANOTHER LAST QUESTION, I GUESS, ON THIS, OUT OF THE ENTIRE 240 ACRES.

HOW MUCH OF IT IS GREENSPACE? LET'S SEE IF WE DID SO.

THERE'S ABOUT THREE AND A HALF MILES OF HIKE AND BIKE TRAIL ON THE LINEAR PATH.

THERE'S ABOUT 70, 65, 70 ACRES OF OPEN SPACE IN PARK SPACE.

OK, SO ABOUT 30 PERCENT ALMOST, ALMOST, IT'S JUST UNDER 30 PERCENT OF THE DEVELOPMENT IS EITHER OPEN SPACE OR CAR SPACE. OK, OK, SO THOSE ARE MY QUESTIONS AND I'M KIND OF.

DO MY THOUGHTS HERE AND I DO APPRECIATE.

I MEAN, WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME AND I SPENT A LOT OF TIME THINKING ABOUT THIS AND I'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME THINKING ABOUT THIS PROJECT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.

AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, I WAS ONE OF THE ONES WHO ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS OF THE LAST TIME AND VERY POINTED QUESTIONS.

AND I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY YES OR NO EASY DECISIONS THAT HAPPEN IN A VACUUM IN ANY PLACE, BUT CERTAINLY NOT IN FRISCO.

AND I KEEP COMING BACK TO WHAT I HEAR FROM RESIDENTS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

AND THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT AND EVERYONE LIKES TO SAY IS THEIR DESIRE FOR LOWER TAXES.

WE ALL LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.

IT'S MENTIONED OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

AND FRANKLY, YOU CAN REALLY ONLY DO THAT TWO WAYS.

YOU CAN EITHER DRASTICALLY CUT YOUR SERVICES OR LIKE PUBLIC SAFETY AND STREETS AND LIBRARIES OR YOU CAN INCREASE YOUR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY BASE.

AND WITH THE INCREASED COST IN OUR BENEFITS TO THE FIREFIGHTERS AND OUR PUBLIC SAFETY WORKERS THAT WE'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME OVER THE LAST NINE MONTHS DOING, IT IS TRULY IMPORTANT THAT WE BEGIN TO PLAN FOR THOSE INCREASED COSTS AS OUR PUBLIC SAFETY STAFFING INCREASES AND EVEN MORE LOOK TOWARDS RETIREMENT AS WE START TO GET INTO THE OLDER STAFFING. SO IF I'M LOOKING AT A WAY TO TRUE A TRUE WAY TO PAY FOR THOSE BENEFITS AND TO INCREASE OUR HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION, WHICH WE'VE ALSO TALKED ABOUT, AND THAT'S WHAT REALLY WILL HELP RESIDENTS DIRECTLY, I, I CAN'T SEE ANOTHER WAY TO DO IT OTHER THAN PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING TO BRING IN FIVE TO SIX MILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY.

AND I DON'T KNOW HOW ELSE TO BRING IN A PROJECT THAT BRINGS IN FIVE TO SIX MILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY OTHER THAN PROJECTS THAT ARE HERE.

LIKE, I, I CAN'T JUST CREATE THEM.

[01:10:02]

AND, YOU KNOW, REALLY, WE CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS, AND I THINK, MAYOR YOU SPOKE TO THIS A LITTLE BIT, ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT THE MORE SUBURBAN AND SINGLE FAMILY HOME CITIES AROUND US AND THEIR TAX RATES ARE MUCH HIGHER THAN OURS.

I ACTUALLY SPENT SOME TIME THIS AFTERNOON SCROLLING THROUGH TAX RATE LISTS OF ALL THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES IN BOTH COUNTIES.

I KNOW THAT Y'ALL HAVE PROBABLY MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO THAN THAT, BUT I SPENT QUITE A BIT OF TIME THIS AFTERNOON DOING THAT AND LOOKING AT ALL THE ONES AND THE RATES AND WHAT THEIR HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS WERE IF THEY HAD ONE OR NOT.

AND REALLY THERE WAS ONLY THEY ALL HAD HIGHER RATES THAN US OTHER THAN ONE COMMUNITY, AND THEY HAD LESS OF AN EXEMPTION FOR THE RESIDENTS OTHER THAN ONE COMMUNITY.

AND THE DIFFERENCE IN THAT COMMUNITY WAS THAT THEY HAD A MUCH HIGHER AMOUNT OF COMMERCIAL PROPERTY BASE THAN THEY HAD THAN WE DO.

AND I KIND OF CAME TO THE PLACE THAT IF WE WANT TO DO MORE THAN JUST TALK ABOUT A LOWER TAX RATE, WE HAVE TO ACTUALLY DO ACTIONABLE STEPS TO GET THERE.

AND SO MY GOAL OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS WAS TO PUT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THIS PROJECT.

AND CLAY I THINK YOU WILL SAY THAT I PUT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THIS PROJECT TO DO RIGHT BY OUR RESIDENTS TO GET THE HIGHEST VALUE THAT WE COULD GET IN THE COMMERCIAL AND DO THINGS THAT WOULD LOWER THE TAX, THAT ALLOW US TO DO THAT AND ALLOW US TO INCREASE THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION AND ALSO ALLOW US TO STILL MAINTAIN THE HIGHEST STANDARDS FOR OUR RESIDENTS.

I THINK THE PGA PROJECT ACROSS THE STREET IS MORE THAN A GOLF COURSE.

AND HONESTLY, I WAS THE KEY COUNCIL MEMBER WHEN WE GO BACK A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO ON THAT, THAT I WAS PUSHING FOR THAT CONVENTION AND CONFERENCE CENTER THAT WAS GOING TO BE IN THE PGA. AND I SAID THAT IF THAT WASN'T IN THERE, THAT I COULDN'T SUPPORT THAT PROJECT.

AND SO WE'VE GOT TO HAVE THESE AREAS ACROSS.

IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE CONFERENCES COME TO THAT CONFERENCE CENTER, THERE IS NO WAY TO ATTRACT CONFERENCES.

I WISH MARLA WAS STILL HERE TO DO THAT IF WE DON'T HAVE PLACES FOR THEM TO GO.

SO I THINK THE HEADLINE HERE IS THAT THIS IS A ONE BILLION DOLLAR PROJECT THAT'S COMING TO FRISCO WITH TWO POINT FIVE MILLION SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE SPACE, WHICH WILL BRING EIGHT TO TEN THOUSAND JOBS.

AT THE SAME TIME, I THINK SIX MILLION DOLLARS IN REVENUE WILL PROVIDE MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO STILL MAINTAIN A HIGH PUBLIC STANDARD OF SERVICES AND TO PUSH RELIEF FOR A RESIDENTS.

SO IF MY GOAL IS TO LOWER THE TAX BURDEN, THIS PROJECT IS THE WAY TO DO THAT.

AND THAT'S A CONCLUSION THAT I'M COMING TO.

AND AGAIN, I WOULD PUSH ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES TO SAY THAT THIS IS KIND OF ONE OF THOSE WHERE YOU PUT YOUR MONEY, WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS.

YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.

YOU CAN'T SAY THAT YOU'RE FOR LOWERING THE TAX RATE AND THEN VOTE AGAINST PROJECTS LIKE THIS. I DO APPRECIATE THAT YOU WERE WILLING TO PUSH FOR THE CONCESSIONS AND GO HARD.

AND I BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE DONE THAT TO THE BEST OF OUR RESIDENTS, SO.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU SHONA. AND I DON'T WANT TO SELL HIM SHORT BECAUSE HE DID SAY SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF TAXABLE VALUE.

SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE KEEP THAT SEVEN MILLION.

BUT THAT ALSO DOESN'T INCLUDE THE SALES TAX THAT THIS PROJECT WILL GENERATE.

THAT'S JUST AD VALOREM. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S RIGHT. WE'VE RUN SOME ESTIMATES.

WE THINK IT'S AROUND, I THINK AROUND THREE MILLION DOLLARS IN SALES TAX GENERATED FROM THE RETAIL PORTION OF THE PROJECT IN ADDITION TO THE AD VALOREM TAXES.

I THINK IT WAS TEN MILLION DOLLARS OF REVENUE.

CORRECT. LIKE THAT NUMBER BETTER.

ALL RIGHT, WE'LL JUST HEAD DOWN HERE, JOHN, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS THAT YOU HAVE? YOU KNOW, I'D LIKE TO THANK MR. DAVID [INAUDIBLE] FOR COMING TONIGHT AND SPEAKING SO ELOQUENTLY ABOUT THIS PROJECT AND GIVING EVERYONE JUST A GENTLE REMINDER OF THE HISTORY, NOT ONLY OF THE LAND, BUT OF THE OF THE PROJECT ITSELF.

AND TO CLAY, I WOULD APPLAUD YOU AND YOUR STAFF TO ECHO THE MAYOR'S SENTIMENTS.

WE WE CAN BE AS CHARMING AS WE LIKE TO PRESENT OURSELVES.

WE CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH AT TIMES.

AND I APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S TRANSPARENCY AND CANDOR AND WORK TOWARDS EQUITABLE GOALS, NOT ONLY FOR YOUR SHAREHOLDERS, BUT FOR OURS AS WELL AS COUNCILMAN SHONA HUFFMAN SO ELOQUENTLY STATED AND IN IN GREAT DETAIL AND A LOT THAT DEPTH.

AND, YOU KNOW, WITHOUT ECHOING THOSE SAME SENTIMENTS, IT'S.

YOU KNOW, IT'S WONDERFUL TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY LIKE THIS WHERE WE CAN COMPLIMENT THE PGA, WHAT THE OMNI IS DOING TO SHONA'S POINT AGAIN, THE CONVENTION CENTER AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES WITH THAT, IT'S A IT'S A WORLD CLASS VISION.

YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS I OFTENTIMES LOOK AT THESE MAPS AND THE PRESENTATIONS AND WISH WE COULD KIND OF SCROLL OUT A LITTLE BIT FURTHER AND KIND OF GET MORE OF A 30,000 FOOT VIEW TO REALLY APPRECIATE THE THE IMPACT, NOT ONLY ECONOMICALLY, BUT JUST AS FAR AS A FUN EXPERIENCE. THE RESTAURANT, THE RETAIL, THE COMMERCIAL, THE OBVIOUSLY THE GOLF, ALL THE

[01:15:04]

DIFFERENT EVENTS, THE COOL THINGS YOU CAN DO, WHETHER YOU LIVE HERE OR WORK HERE OR NOT, IT'S STILL A DESTINATION.

WHETHER YOU PLAY GOLF OR NOT.

IT'S GOING TO BE FANTASTIC.

I'M EXCITED TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT AND I'LL SIMPLY END WITH THAT.

YOUR TURN. YES SIR.

CLAY, WHEN WE MET, I THINK TWO DAYS AFTER THE FIRST MEETING AND I KIND OF TOLD YOU WHAT MY HOT POINTS WERE THAT WERE MAKING ME HAVE TROUBLE WITH IT, AND THOSE WERE REDUCING THE NUMBER OF STACKED APARTMENTS AND HAVING MORE VARIETY IN THE RESIDENTIAL LIVING, THE TYPE OF PRODUCT AND. I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE REDUCED THE NUMBER OF URBAN LIVING UNITS.

I THINK THERE'S PROBABLY A GOOD CHANCE THERE WON'T EVEN BE THAT MUCH BUILT.

I APPRECIATE IT. AND.

WE'LL BE SUPPORTIVE OF THIS PROJECT, AND I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT YOU PUT IN I'M SORRY SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES WERE THAT DIFFICULT, BUT, YOU KNOW, I WOULDN'T PUT MYSELF IN THE GROUP.

DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE RESIDENTS DESERVE IT.

DAN, ANY COMMENTS FROM THAT? ABSOLUTELY, CLAY.

YOU KNOW, YOU DEFINITELY TOOK THE TIME TO SIT DOWN WITH ME AND WE ACTUALLY WENT ON A SITE TOUR OF THE PROJECT. AND I WANTED TO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR DOING THAT AND REALLY ALLOW ME TO DIG IN AND ASKING THOSE TOUGH QUESTIONS THAT THE RESIDENTS WANT TO KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT. RESIDENTIAL DENSITY HAS BEEN LOWERED, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THERE'S SOME TRANSITIONAL HOUSING THERE, TOO, THAT I LIKE, ESPECIALLY THOSE COTTAGES.

THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, MOVING FROM ONE HOUSE TO ANOTHER OR THEY'RE COMING IN TO FRISCO AND THEY'RE LOOKING TO BUILD A HOME.

AND IF YOU LOOK OUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN OUR ECONOMY, SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, YOUR BUILDER WILL SAY, HEY, LOOK, YOU KNOW, WE CAN GET THIS HOUSE DONE IN EIGHT OR NINE MONTHS.

AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW, IT'S 14 MONTHS TO GET STUFF DONE.

I THINK THAT'S AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

SO IMPORTANT TO HAVE A RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT TO THIS AND.

WHAT I DID IS I SPENT TIME LOOKING AT OTHER MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS, WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL ONES, AND ALL THE SUCCESSFUL MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS HAVE A RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT TO IT. THIS IS A VERY HIGH END [INAUDIBLE] RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT.

AND WHAT THAT PROVIDES IS WHAT I CALL THAT IT'S OFF PEAK SITE ACTIVATION.

RIGHT. SO IT'S, YOU KNOW, MORNING TILL NIGHT THE FACILITY IS BEING USED.

AND I THINK THAT'S A MAJOR ASPECT OF WHAT'S GOING TO MAKE THIS PROJECT SUCCESSFUL IS, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A LULL IN THE AFTERNOON.

THERE'S GOING TO BE A CONSTANT STREAM OF BUSINESS.

AND I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE EIGHT TO TEN THOUSAND NEW JOBS THIS IS GOING TO BRING.

THAT'S INCREDIBLE FOR THE ECONOMY OF FRISCO.

AND IT'S A GOOD THING FOR THE CITIZENS OF FRISCO, ALONG WITH THE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WITH THE REVENUE THAT IT'S GOING TO GENERATE SO.

WELL DONE, AND I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO WORK WITH ME AND THE REST OF COUNCIL IN THIS. AND YOU HAVE MY SUPPORT ON THE PROJECT.

THANK YOU. YEAH, FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUES, ESPECIALLY SHONA, IN REGARDS TO THE TAX BASE ITEM.

SO I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME THERE.

THE ONE ITEM THAT I DID SPEND TIME ON PERSONALLY OUTSIDE OF THOSE ISSUES THAT WE'VE ALL BEEN TALKING ABOUT, IS THE TRAIL CONNECTIVITY.

IRONICALLY, MS. [INAUDIBLE]'S OFFICE IS ONLY ABOUT A MILE FROM MY OFFICE AND A STRAIGHT SHOT DOWN THE [INAUDIBLE] TRAILS. SO I WAS ACTUALLY ABLE TO TAKE A TRAIL TO GO MEET WITH HIM AND GO OVER THE PROJECT IN MORE DETAIL.

AND THAT'S THE KIND OF THING THAT I SEE THIS TRAIL PROVIDING TO THE RESIDENTS, IS THAT CONNECTIVITY THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO GET FROM PLACE A TO PLACE B WITHOUT HAVING TO GET INTO A CAR, WITHOUT HAVING TO ALWAYS DRIVE SOMEWHERE.

WHICH ULTIMATELY HELPS REDUCE SOME OF THE TRAFFIC CONGESTION THAT WE ALL HAVE AROUND, WHICH IS A BIG ISSUE FOR OUR RESIDENTS AS WELL, NOT TO MENTION THE AMENITY AND THE PHYSICAL FITNESS ASPECT AND BEING OUTDOORS, WHICH I THINK OUR RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCE A LOT MORE OF IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS WITH THE PANDEMIC AND AND EXPLORING FRISCO AND WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER IN THOSE AREAS.

SO I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS WORKING WITH ME ON THAT ITEM AND MAKING SURE THAT IT GOES IN THE FIRST PHASE. I THINK TRAIL CONNECTIVITY WAS ALSO ONE OF OUR TOP TEN PRIORITIES THIS YEAR THAT WE'RE WORKING ON. AND WE'VE HAD SEVERAL OTHER THINGS COME UP OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS IN REGARDS TO THIS. BUT THAT ITEM FITS RIGHT SMACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT TOP 10 ITEM AS WELL. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE.

A LOT OF HEAVY LIFTING FOR US, TAKING A LOT OF PHONE CALLS, AND I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THE PROJECT AS WELL. THANK YOU.

[01:20:01]

I'M CERTAINLY SUPPORTIVE OF THE PROJECT, I THINK ANY PROJECT CLAY YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB WITH THIS IS LAYING OUT A FANTASTIC VISION OF WHAT YOU WANT TO DO AND WHAT YOU WANT THE SPACE TO BE.

JEFF TALKS A LOT ABOUT WHEN WE WENT TO THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STICKS WITH ME ABOUT THAT AS WE DROVE DOWN WAS KIND OF LONG RESIDENTIAL ROAD IN THIS LITTLE MICROBUS.

AND YOU GOT THERE AND YOU WATCHED THE TOURNAMENT, IT WAS FANTASTIC.

AND THEN WHAT? THERE WAS NOTHING TO DO.

AND YOU GOT IN YOUR BUS AND YOU RODE BACK IN [INAUDIBLE].

HERE, IT'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT, AND WHEN A MAJOR EVENT HAPPENS AT THE GOLF COURSE, THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE THAT EXCITEMENT LITERALLY ACROSS THE STREET.

SAME THING WILL HAPPEN TO CONVENTIONS THAT COME THERE AS WELL.

SO I THINK IT'S A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO FRISCO.

I THINK IT'S ONE OF THE TOP TEN PRIORITIES THAT WE HAD OF OF GETTING THIS PART OF FRISCO RIGHT. I THINK IT IS RIGHT.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF ANGST ABOUT MULTIFAMILY HERE AND, YOU KNOW, RESIDENTS REALLY BEING FRUSTRATED WITH THAT.

AND MAYBE I'VE BECOME SLIGHTLY JADED AFTER MY NINE YEARS, BUT.

I'VE SEEN MORE PEOPLE COME AND PROTEST TXDOT.

I'VE SEEN MORE PEOPLE BE HERE ABOUT BURYING LINES DOWN MAIN STREET.

I'VE SEEN MORE PEOPLE HERE ABOUT TRANSFORMER STATIONS OR SUBSTATIONS, PUPPIES, LARGE RETAIL DEVELOPMENTS.

AND WE'VE HAD THIS ON THE AGENDA THREE TIMES NOW.

WE HAVEN'T HAD ONE PERSON COME SPEAK ABOUT.

THEY DON'T WANT THE MULTIFAMILY HERE.

SO I THINK WE ALL NEED TO STAND UP WITH THE COURAGE OF THEIR CONVICTIONS A LITTLE BIT.

AND AS SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE NOTICED OR NOTED, IT'S FIRST OF ALL, IT'S A GREAT DEVELOPMENT AND WE'RE GETTING ALL CAUGHT UP IN PROPERTY TAXES AND PROPERTY TAX THAT WHO WOULDN'T WANT THIS DEVELOPMENT IN THEIR CITY? I MEAN, TRULY, WHO DOESN'T WANT THIS? IT DEFINITELY HAS THE ADVANTAGE OF CHECKING A LOT OF OTHER BOXES, TOO.

BUT AND I THINK WE'RE ALL CAUGHT UP IN THAT A LITTLE BIT.

AND JEFF'S THE GUY THAT USUALLY BRINGS US OUT OF THAT FUNK A BIT.

BUT LET'S JUST CELEBRATE THE FACT THIS WILL BE A WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL DEVELOPMENT THAT ANCHORS A GREAT GOLF COURSE THAT WE HAVE IN FRISCO.

SO CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING PATIENT IN GETTING US HERE.

THANK YOU, WILL. I APPRECIATE THOSE REMARKS PROBABLY MORE MORE THAN ANYTHING, BECAUSE, I MEAN, I AGREE THE BIGGEST RISK THAT THIS COMMUNITY HAS AS FAR AS LOSING OUR REPUTATION, AS FAR AS BEING THE NUMBER ONE PLACE TO DO BUSINESS, TO RAISE A FAMILY ON AND ON AND ON, THE ACCOLADES OF WHY PEOPLE WANT TO MOVE HERE IS IF WE LET POLITICS CONTINUE TO GET IN THE WAY OF GOOD DECISIONS AND GOOD POLICYMAKING.

AND SO ONE THING THAT THIS COUNCIL HAS ALWAYS BEEN GREAT ABOUT IS PUTTING POLICY OVER POLITICS, TAKING LONG RANGE VIEWS OF THIS COMMUNITY.

AND YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT THAT THIS IS A PROJECT THAT WE SHOULD BE CELEBRATING.

THIS SHOULD BE AN EXCITING DAY IN FRISCO'S HISTORY.

AND I DO FEEL A LITTLE BIT LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH HERE AND TRY TO JUSTIFY MAKING A WORLD CLASS DECISION THAT WILL IMPACT GENERATIONS IN THIS COMMUNITY.

AND SO FOR ALL OF US UP HERE, I CHALLENGE EACH ONE OF YOU TO DO YOUR JOB OUT IN THE COMMUNITY, WHICH IS EDUCATE THE RESIDENTS AS FAR AS WHAT WE'RE DOING AND WHAT OUR VISION IS. YOU KNOW, DAN, YOUR REMARKS WERE SPOT ON AS FAR AS WHY THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT DEVELOPMENT. AND EACH OF US KIND OF HAVE OUR RESPONSIBILITY WHEN WE'RE STANDING IN FRONT OF THE PUBLIC, WHETHER IT'S SUPPORTERS, PEOPLE AGAINST US TO TELL THEM WHY AND SHARE THE VISION OF FRISCO AND WHY THESE THINGS ARE GOOD THINGS.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, I THINK WE'RE PROBABLY NOT DOING A GOOD ENOUGH JOB OF THAT.

AND SO.

AND SO, MAYOR, IF I CAN JUST TAKE A POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE HERE, I ISSUED A CHALLENGE TO CLAY. AND I SAID, CLAY.

THIS HAS TO BE BETTER THAN LEGACY WEST.

YOU'RE GLAD PHEBE DIDN'T COME HERE TO CHALLENGE [INAUDIBLE].

[LAUGHTER] IT IS ISN'T IT? THERE'S A DEVELOPER ACROSS THE STREET [INAUDIBLE]. BUT AND I KNOW WE'VE ALL HAD A LOT OF TIME TO MAKE COMMENTS HERE TONIGHT, AND THEY WERE ALL IMPORTANT.

AND I JUST WANT TO CLOSE THAT.

I WANT YOU TO TAKE AWAY TONIGHT THAT WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT YOUR PROJECT, THAT WE'RE PROUD TO MOVE FORWARD WITH YOU AS PARTNERS, AND THAT WE'RE GRATEFUL THAT YOU SEE FRISCO AS THE CITY AND THE TYPE OF CITY THAT YOU WANT TO INVEST A BILLION DOLLARS IN OVER THE NEXT 10 TO 15 YEARS. SO WITH THAT, WE TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN THAT AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THIS PROJECT COME TO LIFE.

SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR PATIENCE AS FAR AS WORKING THROUGH THIS PROCESS WITH US.

AND, YOU KNOW, WITH THAT, I'LL TAKE A MOTION SO WE CAN OFFICIALLY WELCOME YOU TO FRISCO.

[01:25:09]
