PROCLAMATIONS

[6. Recognition for the City of Frisco Stormwater Division. (Awards from the Water Environment Federation: "Overall" Winner; Program Management; Innovation.)]

AND GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE AWARDS PROGRAM.

IS SOMEONE FROM STAFF.

PERFECT.

ALRIGHT AND THIS READS THE 2022 NATIONAL MUNICIPAL STORMWATER AND GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE AWARDS PROGRAM.

THE WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION HONORS THE CITY OF FRISCO STORMWATER DIVISION FOR ITS OUTSTANDING STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM AND COMMITMENT TO APPLYING GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE. THE CITY OF FRISCO STORMWATER DIVISION HAS BEEN CATEGORIZED AT THE FOLLOWING IN PHASE TWO CATEGORY THE INNOVATION LEVEL GOLD AND THE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT GOLD AS WELL.

CONGRATULATIONS. GIVE THE DEPARTMENT A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.

YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO IT A LITTLE BIT? YES. THANK YOU, MAYOR. AS YOU MENTIONED, IT'S COMPRISED OF INNOVATION AND GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE.

IS THE CONSIDERATION IN IT.

THE CITY FOSTERS ORGANIC INNOVATION AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT GIVES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR GREAT EMPLOYEES LIKE THESE TO INNOVATE AND DO THINGS THAT JUST YOU WOULDN'T THINK WOULD BE POSSIBLE.

THE OTHER PART OF THE AWARD IS GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THE CITY HAS DONE SO MUCH ON MAINTAINING GREEN BELTS AND OTHER THINGS THAT HELP WITH THAT AWARD AND ALSO A LOT OF CITIZEN ACTIVITY DOING ADOPT THE STREET PROGRAMS, CLEAN CREEK AND OTHER THINGS THAT HELP WITH THAT AWARD.

AND SO WOULD YOU MIND IF I INTRODUCE THE TEAM? LET'S GO AND PASS IT ON DOWN.

GO AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

SHAUN AUCOIN, I'M THE HYDROLOGIST.

HI, I'M JULIANA MARIE.

I AM THE WASTE.

SORRY, I'M THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM SUPERINTENDENT.

CHRIS CORLISS, THE STORMWATER COMPLIANCE SUPERVISOR.

I'M KRYSTAL FLANNERY, WITCHITA, STORMWATER EDUCATION AND OUTREACH COORDINATOR.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, ON BEHALF OF OUR COUNCIL, WE LOVE TO INNOVATE HERE IN FRISCO.

OF COURSE, YOUR DEPARTMENT IS NO DIFFERENT.

SO ON BEHALF OF THEM, I JUST WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN ON YOUR RECOGNITION.

[00:30:03]

SO LET'S GIVE THEM ANOTHER ROUND OF APPLAUSE HERE.

AND.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS AGAIN.

THANKS FOR BEING HERE.

I THINK WE'LL GET PAUL. I THINK WE'LL GO AHEAD AND TAKE CITIZEN INPUT.

I THINK. WAIT FOR ANGELIA HERE IN JUST ONE SECOND.

RIGHT. OKAY.

SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE INTO CITIZEN INPUT.

[CITIZEN INPUT (to begin approximately at 7:30 p.m.)]

I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF CARDS THAT HAVE BEEN SIGNED FROM SOME OF OUR NEIGHBORS THAT HAVE COME AND SPOKEN BEFORE ABOUT A CONCERN ON SOME WAREHOUSE ON 423.

WE'VE RECEIVED A LOT OF EMAILS, I THINK WITH THERE SEEMS TO BE, I THINK, SOME CONFUSION REALLY, AND KIND OF WHEN THE PROPERTY WAS ZONED AND WHAT THE CITY HAS RIGHTS TO DO AND WHAT WE DON'T HAVE RIGHT TO DO.

SO BEFORE WE TAKE COMMENTS, I THINK STAFF IS GOING TO KIND OF GIVE A QUICK UPDATE JUST TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD THE HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY AND WHAT THE CITY CAN AND CANNOT DO UNDER OUR LEGAL CONTROLS.

OKAY. [INAUDIBLE].

INDUSTRIAL SINCE THE MID EIGHTIES.

SO LIKE AROUND 84, 86 DEVELOPMENT PLANS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED FOR OUR INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE ON THE TWO PROPERTIES.

THEY MEET THE STANDARDS FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, ENGINEERING STANDARDS, ALL THE STANDARDS THAT APPLY TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROPERTY. AND SO THEY'RE APPLIED EQUALLY AS THEY ARE THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

THERE'S BEEN CONCERNS ABOUT A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED.

NONE IS REQUIRED.

COMMENT CAME UP BY ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY.

WE DON'T HAVE A REQUIREMENT FOR THAT.

HOWEVER, JUST STATE AT THE HOA MEETING A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO IF THERE'S ANY USES STORING CHEMICALS OR CHEMICALS GOING OFF SITE, THAT'S WHERE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT BUILDING INSPECTION.

AND JUST LIKE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT, THEY MAY BE INVOLVED THAT YOU HAVE TO CONTAIN THOSE CHEMICALS ON SITE.

SO THIS IS A CLEAN OPERATION AND THERE'S BEEN A RUMOR THAT THIS IS AFFILIATED WITH THE PGA.

IT IS NOT A VERIFY THAT WITH THE DEVELOPER YESTERDAY THAT WAS JUST A PLACEHOLDER THAT THEY PLACED ON THE SITE.

PLAN ITSELF IS PGA INDUSTRIAL, BUT THERE'S NO RELATIONSHIP AND THEY'RE REMOVING THAT AND CHANGING THE TITLE BLOCK ON THAT.

WE DID HAVE A MEETING WITH MILLIE RHODES, AND CONSIDERING SHE WAS THE LEADER OF THE HOMEOWNERS OUT THERE BACK IN SEPTEMBER, OTHER STAFF WAS INVOLVED FROM TRAFFIC JOEL PHIPPS AND JASON GRAHAM FROM ENGINEERING.

AND I KNOW I'M FORGETTING SOME OTHERS, BUT WE'VE COMMENTED THE NUMBER OF TRIPS GENERATED BY AN INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT IS FAR LESS THAN IF IT'S DEVELOPED AS A OFFICE DEVELOPMENT OR IF IT DEVELOPED AS A SHOPPING CENTER.

THERE WAS WAY FEWER TRIPS FROM AN INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT COMPARED TO ANY OF THOSE OTHER USES.

THERE'S BEEN A STATEMENT THAT THIS WILL LEAD TO LET ME SEE SEX TRAFFICKING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

I'VE CONFIRMED WITH CHIEF CHILSON THERE.

THERE'S NO EVIDENCE OF THAT WHATSOEVER IN ANY OF OUR OTHER INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS IN THE CITY.

SO FRISCO IS A SAFE CITY TO LIVE IN.

AND THERE'S BEEN COMMENTS ABOUT LIMITING THE NUMBER OF TRUCKS COMING TO THE SIDE, SIZE OF TRUCKS IDLING.

THERE'S NO ORDINANCES FOR THAT.

THEY'RE IN FOR COMPLIANCE, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY AS FAR AS USE IS ON THE PROPERTY.

THIS IS A SHELL BUILDING THAT THE DEVELOPER IS PUTTING IN.

THEY DON'T HAVE ANY USES AT THIS POINT.

BUT AS WITH ANY OTHER DEVELOPMENT AND I MENTIONED THIS AT THE MEETING, IF IT WAS A SHOPPING CENTER, USE HAS CHANGED OVER TIME.

AND SO EACH TIME THEY HAVE TO COME IN AND GET A CEO AT THAT TIME OF THE GETTING THE CEO CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY STAFF IS GOING TO VERIFY THAT THAT USE IS PERMITTED.

SO IF THERE'S ANYTHING WITH CHEMICALS OR EXHAUST OR PUT OUT EXHAUST FUMES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, THERE'S CERTAIN CASES WE COULD HAVE REQUIRE SPECIFIC

[00:35:08]

USE PERMIT FOR THAT IF THAT THRESHOLD IS TRIGGERED.

BUT EACH TIME THE USE WILL BE EVALUATED AND WITH THAT USE IN THE FUTURE, AS I STATED BEFORE, IF THERE'S ANYTHING TO DO WITH CHEMICALS USING CHEMICALS, STORING CHEMICALS, BOTH FIRE DEPARTMENT AND ENGINEER.

I'M NOT AN ENGINEER, BUT BUILDING INSPECTION WILL BE INVOLVED, INSPECTING THAT TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE COMPLYING WITH ALL THE LOCAL AND STATE REQUIREMENTS FOR THOSE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.

BUT AS I UNDERSTAND FROM THE DEVELOPER, HE'S NOT INTENDING TO HAVE ANY OF THAT.

BUT WE DON'T KNOW UNTIL SOMEBODY ACTUALLY COMES IN AND FILES A BUILDING PERMIT TO DO A FINISH OUT THAT WE KNOW WHAT THAT USE WILL BE. SO EVERYTHING ELSE IS IN COMPLIANCE.

AND THERE'S BEEN ABOUT THE CONNECTION OF THE ROAD THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN.

SO THAT WILL BE TURNED OFF.

AND THEN THERE WAS AN EMAIL EARLIER TODAY FROM THE DEVELOPER ABOUT PUTTING ABANDONING THAT ROAD.

THAT'S A PROCESS, AS I OUTLINED IN THAT EMAIL, THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THE CITY AND AND THE DEVELOPER WOULD HAVE TO COME TO AGREEMENT ON BECAUSE IT IS CITY PROPERTY. AND SO THERE HAS TO BE A TRANSFER AND THEN A RIGHT OF WAY ABANDONMENT PROCESS, REPLANNING PROCESS.

BUT THAT'S A POSSIBILITY THAT CONCRETE DOESN'T NEED TO STAY THERE COULD BE CONVERTED TO OPEN SPACE, BUT THAT'S KIND OF IT IN A NUTSHELL.

SO JUST TO CLARIFY, I THINK THE MOST COMMON QUESTION I GET JUST FROM THE COMMUNITY IN THE EMAILS IS WHY DID COUNCIL ZONE THIS PROPERTY LIKE THIS, KNOWING THERE IS A RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY ADJACENT TO IT? BUT AS YOU ALREADY STATED, THIS ZONING HAPPENED ALMOST 40 YEARS AGO.

YEAH, 40 YEARS AGO.

AND THEN ACTUALLY IT WAS SHADOW DEVELOPMENT.

THEY CAME IN AND DID A REZONING OF A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY TO RESIDENTIAL.

IT MET THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, THIS OTHER PROPERTY COULD HAVE GONE RESIDENTIAL, BUT SOMEBODY BOUGHT IT FOR INDUSTRIAL USE TO BUILD INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS ON THE PROPERTY.

AND SO THEN THE SECOND MOST COMMON QUESTION AFTER THAT IS, WELL, WHY DON'T YOU JUST CHANGE THE ZONING TO SOMETHING MORE FAVORABLE? AND WE DO CHANGE ZONING WHEN IT'S AG GOING TO A NEW ZONING OR WHEN THE APPLICANT SPECIFICALLY COMES IN.

IF THE PROPERTY OWNER SAYS, I WANT TO CHANGE THE ZONING TO ANOTHER USE, THAT'S WHEN COUNCIL COULD HAVE A CONSIDERATION FOR THAT.

BUT MAYBE JUST EXPLAIN IF THEY HAVE THEIR ZONING AND THEY WANT TO BUILD TO THAT EXISTING ZONING THE LIMITATIONS THE STATE OF TEXAS PUTS ON US.

YEAH. SO TEXAS IS A PROPERTY RIGHTS STATE.

THAT'S SOMETHING WE COVER COVER COVERING OUR CITY ONE ON ONE CLASS AS WELL.

AS I MENTIONED THAT AT THE AT THE MEETING.

SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS YOU BUY THE PROPERTY, YOU BUY WITH ENTITLEMENTS ON THE PROPERTY.

THE DEVELOPER PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY, I BELIEVE, IN NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR.

SO THERE'S A THING CALLED ECONOMIC BACK EXPECTATIONS.

AND WHAT THAT'S A LEGAL TERM THAT WAS DECIDED BY THE TEXAS SUPREME COURT THAT WHEN YOU BUY THAT PROPERTY, YOU BUY IT WITH ENTITLEMENTS ASSIGNED TO THAT PROPERTY FOR THE CITY TO COME IN AFTERWARDS AND THEN TRY TO STRIP THAT AWAY, THAT BECOMES A LEGAL CONFRONTATION AT THAT POINT.

AND SO THAT GETS INTO LEGAL.

AND RICHARD CAN ADDRESS THAT FURTHER IN EXECUTIVE SESSION, IF YOU WANT TO HEAR THAT.

BUT THEY'RE PROTECTED.

SO AND FOR A CITY TO CHANGE THE ZONING AGAINST SOMEBODY'S WISHES, THEY CAN BRING A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE CITY.

AND DURING THE HOA MEETING WITH SINCE YOU MENTIONED THAT, THEY CITED TWO OTHER EXAMPLES IN WHICH THE CITY, A CITY, DENIED THE INDUSTRIAL ZONING ONE WAS FLOWER MOUND.

BUT THAT. WAS A ZONING CASE.

SO THE CITY HAD THE RIGHT TO DENY THAT CASE.

THIS IS AN ADMINISTRATIVE MATTER, MEANING THE DEVELOPMENT PLANS COMPLY WITH THE ZONING.

EVERYTHING ELSE.

THEN IT NEEDS TO BE APPROVED.

SO I DON'T NECESSARILY WANT TO SPEAK FOR COUNCIL, BUT I WOULD THINK IT'S PROBABLY LIKELY THAT IF THIS WAS A FLOWER MOUNT EXAMPLE WHERE IT WAS REZONING FROM SOMETHING ELSE TO THIS USE, THAT COUNCIL LIKELY WOULD PROBABLY DENY THAT BASED ON MANY OF THE CONCERNS THAT THE RESIDENTS HAVE AND WILL PROBABLY HEAR FROM TONIGHT.

BUT THAT IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN WHEN THEY ALREADY HAVE THEIR ENTITLEMENTS.

THAT'S RIGHT. NOW, THE THINGS THAT WE DO HAVE CONTROL OVER IS MAKING SURE THEY'RE FOLLOWING OUR BUILDING CODES, BUILDING CODES, APPLICABLE ORDINANCES, TRYING TO CONVINCE THEM TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.

YOU KNOW, TO THE EXTENT THEY CAN LIGHTING, SCREENING.

I DO WANT TO POINT OUT, WE'RE POINTING THIS OUT TO THE HOMEOWNERS THAT FM 423 IS A TRUCK ROUTE.

AND SO THEY WILL BE TRUCKS ON 423 BECAUSE A CITY CAN'T BAN TRUCKS FROM COMING THROUGH THE CITY.

[00:40:04]

SO IT IS A DESIGNATED TRUCK ROUTE.

SO IT'S SERVING ALL THE RETAIL DEVELOPMENTS AND RETAIL DEVELOPMENTS DOWN TO THE SOUTH.

I ASK YOU A QUESTION.

ONE THING YOU SAID THAT MADE MY EARS PERK UP, SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT MAY HAVE BEEN SOMEONE ELSE'S.

YOURS PERK UP IS UNTIL WE HAVE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT BUSINESSES ARE GOING IN THERE YET UNTIL THEY COME TO US.

THAT'S RIGHT. BUT IT'S NOT LIKE THEY CAN PUT ANY BUSINESS THEY WANT TO IN THERE.

CORRECT. THERE'S THEY HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE CITY CITY STANDARDS.

OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS CLEAR THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO HAVE SOME REALLY WEIRD, DANGEROUS BUSINESSES POP UP THAT ARE POPPING UP ANYWHERE ELSE.

I'LL HAVE TO CONFIRM, CONFORM WITH EVERYTHING ELSE.

YES. SO THEY WILL HAVE TO NOT ONLY CONFORM WITH THE ZONING, BUT IF THEY GET IN THE CHEMICALS AND WHATNOT, YOU HAVE BUILDING REQUIREMENTS, THEN YOU HAVE THE BAR CODE THAT KICKS IN. AND SO LIKE SOMEBODY BROUGHT UP ABOUT CHEMICALS GETTING INTO THE CREEK.

WELL, THAT'S A POINT THAT ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES WOULD GET INVOLVED AT THAT POINT.

THERE COULDN'T BE AN SOB OPERATING THEIR LIQUOR.

THE ONLY WAY THE S.O.B.

COULD OPERATE THERE IS THEY WOULD HAVE TO GET APPROVAL OF A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

SO IT'S NOT ALLOWED USE BY.

RIGHT. THEN MY ONLY OTHER QUESTION IS YOU MENTIONED IT WAS IN THE MID EIGHTIES, SO 84, 85, 80, SOMEWHERE AROUND THERE WHEN THE INDUSTRIAL WAS THE INDUSTRIAL LAND WAS RE ZONED ZONE INDUSTRIAL.

SO IT WENT FROM RESIDENTIAL TO INDUSTRIAL IN 84, 85 I THINK IT WAS GOING FROM AG TO INDUSTRIAL INDUSTRIAL.

CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE ZONING TO THE FOR THE HOUSES THAT WERE DISCUSSING THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

SO THE HOUSES BY 2012, 2015 THERE WAS A COUPLE RESIDENTIAL ZONING CASES THAT WENT ON TAKING IT FROM INDUSTRIAL TO RESIDENTIAL AND MET OUR STANDARDS AND WENT THROUGH THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS WHERE THOSE WERE APPROVED.

SO MY LAST QUESTION THEN I PROMISE I'LL STOP WITH ANOTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS.

NOBODY BOUGHT A HOUSE IMMEDIATE TO THAT LOCATION BEFORE THAT WAS ZONED INDUSTRIAL.

THAT'S RIGHT. JUST SOMETHING TO ADD TO BRIAN'S COMMENTS, JOHN.

THE LAND USES AND WHAT CAN GO IN AN INDUSTRIAL AREA.

WE HAVE IN ALL OF OUR ORDINANCES.

THOSE ARE POSTED ONLINE.

SO IF ANYBODY WANTS TO SEE THOSE, YOU CAN GO UP AND YOU CAN PULL UP THAT SPECIFIC ZONING AND YOU CAN SEE THE TYPES OF BUSINESSES THAT ARE ALLOWED ARE NOT ALLOWED OR THE ONES THAT MAY REQUIRE AN SUP.

THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S FOUND IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND THE LAND USE CHARTS, AND THAT'S SECTION THREE.

JOHN, I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION, BUT I DO JUST WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT RELATIVE TO THIS MATTER.

AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE A NUMBER OF RESIDENTS THAT ARE SITTING OUT HERE IN THE AUDIENCE, AND YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE A CONCERN AND YOU'VE BROUGHT THOSE CONCERNS FORWARD. AND, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, TO MAYOR CHANEY'S POINT, IF WE WERE IN A DIFFERENT SITUATION WHERE ZONING WAS COMING TO US AND WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THAT CHANGE, I THINK WE WOULD ALL THINK VERY LONG AND HARD ABOUT THAT DECISION IN LIGHT OF JUST THE OUTPOURING THAT WE'VE RECEIVED VIA EMAIL AND BY YOUR VERY PRESENCE HERE.

BUT THE REALITY, BASED ON EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE HEARD, HOPEFULLY AT THE MEETING THAT YOU HAD LAST WEEK AND WHAT YOU'VE JUST HEARD FROM MR. LETTELLEIR HERE TONIGHT CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THERE'S NOTHING THAT WE CAN DO AS A COUNCIL.

AND SO I JUST WANT TO JUST REITERATE THAT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOUR PRESENCE HERE DOES SPEAK VOLUMES, AND I KNOW THAT YOUR TIME IS PRECIOUS AND WE JUST DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU ANY INDICATION THAT THERE CAN BE ANY CHANGES THAT ARE MADE.

SO YOU CERTAINLY ARE WELCOME TO CONTINUE TO SUBMIT THE EMAILS AND TO HAVE A PRESENCE HERE AT COUNCIL.

IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO LOOK OUT INTO THE AUDIENCE AND SEE PEOPLE THAT ARE ACTUALLY HERE FOR OUR COUNCIL SESSIONS.

BUT WE JUST WANT TO BE MINDFUL OF YOUR TIME AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU CLEARLY KNOW THAT YOUR PRESENCE COMING HERE AND CONTINUING TO SUBMIT THE EMAILS.

THERE'S JUST NO CHANGES THAT CAN BE MADE.

AND WE DO APPRECIATE YOU CONTINUING TO TO SURFACE THESE ISSUES.

BUT WE ARE AT A POINT WHERE THE DECISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE THAT PRE-DATE ALL OF US AND THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE.

SO WE DO WE HAVE A WE DO HAVE MORE THAN TEN SPEAKERS.

SO WITH THAT.

YES, MR. MAYOR, SINCE THERE'S MORE THAN TEN PURSUANT TO OUR PUBLIC INPUT POLICIES, I'D MOVE THAT WE CHANGE THE INPUT TIME TO 3 MINUTES FROM FIVE.

SECOND.

BY BILL, SECOND BY ANGELIA.

ALL IN FAVOR, AYE. MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

SO WE WILL NOW TAKE CITIZEN INPUT.

WE'VE GOT A FEW PEOPLE HERE WHO MAY CONTINUE TO DESIRE TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE.

[00:45:08]

PERHAPS YOU'VE CHANGED YOUR MIND IN LIGHT OF WHAT YOU JUST HEARD FROM MR. LITTLER TONIGHT, BUT I WILL CALL YOUR NAME.

AND IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK, YOU CAN CERTAINLY DO SO.

AND YOU DO HAVE THAT THREE MINUTE TIME FRAME.

MAHESH GARTH.

AND WHILE MAHESH IS COMING UP, [INAUDIBLE].

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SPEAKING, IF YOU CAN COME FORWARD.

HELLO, EVERYONE. GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS MAHESH GOTO.

SO I'M HERE TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS OVER THE [INAUDIBLE] BUILDING THREE WAREHOUSES ON TWO LOTS ON 72 PLUS ACRES ON THE WEST SIDE OF FM, 423 ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDE OF ROCKVILLE PARKWAY.

THIS IS GOING TO BE CREATED.

TRAFFIC, AIR, NOISE, POLLUTION.

LONG TERM HEALTH ISSUES.

NEGATIVE IMPACT ON PROPERTY, POTENTIAL CHILD TRAFFICKING ISSUES.

THE ISSUE IS MUCH BIGGER HERE.

IN OUR CASE, DUE TO NEAR PROXIMITY AND HIGHER POPULATION RESIDENTS AND STUDENTS NEARBY.

SO IT HAS A 100 PLUS LOADING BASE AND 800 PARKING SPACES, 800 PLUS LARGE DIESEL TRUCKS AND VEHICLES EVERY DAY, ACCORDING TO THE CITY OF FRISCO.

FISD SCHOOLS WITHIN TWO MILES OF WAREHOUSE, THOUSANDS OF HOME WITHIN ONE MILE OF WAREHOUSE.

SO THIS IS LIKE KIND OF A VERY SERIOUS CONCERNS FOR US.

LIKE WE BOUGHT THE HOME LIKE FIVE OR SIX YEARS AGO.

I DON'T KNOW. I'VE BEEN NEVER TOLD BY A BUILDER OR A REALTOR.

THIS IS A WAREHOUSE ZONED LAND.

IF IT IS ZONED IN 1983 AND 99% OF THE RESIDENTS ARE BUILT UP ALREADY, AND JUST ONE PIECE IS INDUSTRIAL ZONE AND THEY ARE BUILDING THE WAREHOUSE.

NOW WE ARE GOING TO LIVING JUST NEXT TO THE WAREHOUSE.

SO THIS IS LIKE REALLY WE ARE DEVASTATED WITH THIS NEWS.

AND, YOU KNOW, IF THE TRUCKS, DIESEL TRUCKS COMING IN, THEY ARE GOING TO STAY AND PARKING 24 HOURS AND RUNNING OVER THE 24 HOURS CLOCK OR THE NIGHT, AND IT'S GOING TO GENERATE A LOT OF POLLUTION, YOU KNOW, SO THAT'S A MAIN THING.

AND IF IT IS NOT AT ALL POSSIBLE TO STOP THE WAREHOUSE CONSTRUCTION, JUST AT LEAST WE WANTED TO COUNCIL TO CONSIDER WHAT ARE THE MITIGATIONS WE CAN DO AND HOW CAN WE CONTROL THE TRAFFIC, HOW CAN WE EXPAND THE ROADS? LEFT TURNS RIGHT, TURNS INTO THE ROCK HILL PARKWAY.

THE FM 423 IS A HIGHWAY.

AND BUT WHEN WE'RE ENTERING INTO THE COMMUNITY, EVEN THE KIDS ARE GOING TO CROSS THE ROADS.

SO THAT'S GOING TO BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR THEM WHEN THERE ARE TRUCKS GOING ON.

SO LAST WEEK WE HAVE A STAFF CAME IN AND THEY GAVE US INPUTS.

AND JUST SAME THING.

WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE NOW, BUT AT LEAST WE WANTED TO CONSIDER THIS AND MITIGATE THE TRAFFIC AND POLLUTION PROBLEMS. THANK YOU, SIR. THANKS, EVERYONE.

THANK YOU, SHYAM.

[INAUDIBLE].

GOOD EVENING MAYOR. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE] AND I'M A RESIDENT OF ONE OF THE SUBDIVISIONS THAT JUST GOT OPENED AROUND 423 AND THE PARKWAY SOMERSET PARK.

SO MY ONLY CONCERN, MY ONLY QUESTION ARE I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE MENTIONED THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE NOW, BUT MY QUESTION TO THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD BE, IS A WAREHOUSE REQUIRED TO BE BUILT IN THE VICINITY OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES? THE SCHOOL HAS A LOT OF EMPTY SPACE.

CAN'T CAN THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR CAN'T YOU TAKE THE ACTION AND SEE IF THIS CAN BE MOVED TO SOME OTHER LOCATION? MAYBE 380.

THERE ARE A LOT OF EMPTY SPACES THERE SO THAT RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, WE HAVE A PEACEFUL LIVING, WE HAVE LIFE AND OUR CHILDREN ARE SAFE GOING TO THE SCHOOLS. SO WE HAVE LIKE MIKE MENTIONED, WE HAVE AT LEAST 8 TO 9 SCHOOLS IN THE VICINITY OF AROUND TWO MILES.

SO I THINK IT BECOMES DIFFICULT FOR THE KIDS WITH THE TRAFFIC THAT'S COMING OVER.

SO I WOULD REQUEST YOU TO TAKE A LINEAR VIEW ON THIS AND SEE WHAT BEST YOU CAN DO.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

[INAUDIBLE].

AND AS [INAUDIBLE] IS COMING FORTH IF.

[00:50:02]

[INAUDIBLE] WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AFTERWARDS IF YOU CAN MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE PODIUM.

GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS AND GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, SIR.

AND GOOD EVENING, MR. DEVELOPMENT MANAGER, WHO CAME IN LAST TIME TO GIVE US A VERY GOOD BRIEF OVERVIEW OF WHAT ARE THE DEVELOPMENT THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING AND WHAT CITY HAD TAKEN DIFFERENT ASPECTS TO APPROVE.

I AM A FATHER OF HIGH SCHOOLER, SO SHE GOES TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY, HAS TO CROSS THAT ROCK HILL PARKWAY.

AND I'M NOT SURE ANY OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS OR ANY OF THE FRISCO EMPLOYEES ACTUALLY LIVE IN THAT VICINITY OF 423 AND ROCK HILL, SIR.

IF THERE IS, I WOULD KINDLY REQUEST TO PUT YOURSELF INTO THE COMMUNITY WHO ARE LIVING THERE AND SEE WHAT MISERABLE THINGS WE ARE FACING ACROSS IN TERMS OF TRAFFIC.

TRAFFIC IS A VERY MAIN ISSUE, ESPECIALLY IT STARTS AT 3:30 P.M..

IT GOES ALL THE WAY UNTIL 6:30 P.M.

AND ANY OF YOU ARE ABLE TO PASS THROUGH THAT ROAD.

IT IS MISERABLE AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A COMPARISON OF A WAREHOUSE TRAFFIC WITH A SHOPPING CENTER.

I THINK EVEN THE FRISCO I KNOW IT WAS APPROVAL WAS MADE ACCORDING TO THE STANDARDS, BUT IT WAS NOT CONSIDERED WITH WHERE IT SHOULD BE.

I WOULD KINDLY REQUEST THE COUNCIL TO SEE IF THERE IS A PREVIEW OF OR AGAIN, THERE IS A REVIEW THAT CAN BE MADE ON THAT TRAFFIC STUDY TO COME BACK AND SEE WHAT IS THE REAL TRAFFIC, BECAUSE THE FRISCO WEBSITE ITSELF SAYS THERE IS A DAILY TRAFFIC OF 40 TO 45000.

I THINK IF I'M NOT WRONG, 45,000 PLUS CARS PASSING THROUGH PANTHER CREEK TWO 423 SO WE ARE TOWARDS 380.

SO TRAFFIC IS A VERY MAJOR ISSUE AND ESPECIALLY ROCK HILL BEING A VERY NARROW LANE, ALL THE 18 WHEELERS ARE GOING TO TURN INTO ROCK HILL, WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY WHICH WE CAN GET INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND WE CAN'T WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE TO COME OUT OTHER THAN ROCK HILL.

THERE IS A CREEK, BUT NOBODY USES UNLESS YOU PUT YOUR LIFE AT RISK TO GET INTO 380 FROM THERE.

SO I WOULD KINDLY REQUEST TO CONSIDER IF THERE IS A THOROUGH TRAFFIC ANALYSIS THAT CAN BE DONE OR EXPAND THE ROAD FOR ROCK HILL, AT LEAST TO A BETTER STATE WHERE 18 WHEELERS CAN PASS THROUGH.

WE DON'T WANT OUR LIFE, COMMUNITY LIFE TO BE RISK.

AND HEALTH IS ALSO ONE OF THE MAJOR THING.

THERE IS A STUDY BY HARVARD UNIVERSITY AND OTHER THINGS.

THERE IS A DIESEL IMPACT TO THE COMMUNITY ON LONG TERM EFFORT.

MR. OFFICER WAS TELLING THERE IS FIRE DEPARTMENT, THERE IS HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

THEY ARE GOING TO COME LATER POINT NOT PROACTIVE LOOKING AT THE PREVIOUS ONE.

SO I WOULD KINDLY REQUEST TO LOOK AFTER THIS CONSEQUENCES OF HEALTH, WHICH IS A DIESEL WHICH IS GOING TO KILL ALL OF OUR LIVES ON A LONG TERM BASIS.

AND ALSO KINDLY LOOK AT THE TRAFFIC STUDY REAL TIME.

I WOULD KINDLY REQUEST AT LEAST PLEASE CONSIDER THE TRAFFIC STUDY.

THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU.

THANKS FOR GIVING THE OPPORTUNITY.

HELLO, EVERYONE. MY NAME IS ALISON AND I'M ONE OF THE RESIDENTS AT STATE OF ROCK HILL.

AND AS WE HAVE ALREADY, YOU GUYS HAVE ALREADY MENTIONED ABOUT THAT.

IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. WELL, IT IS VERY DEVASTATING TO HEAR THAT IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

IT'S OKAY. I UNDERSTAND.

IT'S THE PLAN. IT WAS DONE 30 YEARS BACK.

WE ARE LEAVING THE GAME. BUT I'M A PARENT OF I'M A DAD OF TWO KIDS AT THIS POINT OF TIME.

AND I WAS TOLD THAT LIKE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS BACK, MY SON CANNOT GET ON THE BUS BECAUSE WE FALLEN WITHIN TWO MILES RADIUS.

THE BUS COMES TO MY COMMUNITY.

I DRIVE 50 MILES EVERY DAY.

MY WIFE WORKS 20 MILES FROM LIKE I WORKED IN SHERMAN.

MY WIFE SAID, PLAY PRESS.

SO WE BEING INTO HEALTH, I MEAN, THIS IS A PERSONAL THING, BUT WHICH THE SCHOOL HAS BEEN NEXT TO US IS WE ARE PROUD OF IT, BUT IT IS AT A POINT WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

WELL, TRAFFIC I WAS GIVEN A CALL TEN, 10:00 AROUND 10:00, MAYBE LAST WEEKEND'S TOLL THAT YOUR SON CANNOT GET ON THE BUS. YOU HAD TO COME AND PICK HIM UP.

I WAS AT WORK. MY WIFE WAS AT WORK.

TRAFFIC IS A CONCERN AND MY SON DOESN'T HAVE A RIDE.

MY OLDER ONE IS AT THE YARD.

I DON'T HAVE ANYBODY. I HAVE TO.

I DON'T WORK FROM HOME.

AND IT'S I MEAN, THE MAJORITY OF US WORK.

SOME SOME HAVE CHOICE.

I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.

BOTH OF US HAVE TO BE AT WORK.

TRAFFIC IS A MAJOR CONCERN THERE.

AT SOME POINT, MY SON IS GOING TO DRIVE.

HE'S GOING TO DRIVE. I KNOW THAT IT'S A MATTER OF 2 TO 2 MONTHS, THREE MONTHS.

I MY NEIGHBOR HAS BEEN HELPING WITH ME, PICKING UP, DROPPING OFF.

[00:55:04]

BUT THING IS THIS IT'S GOING TO BE A CONCERN AT THE POINT OF THE TRUCKS ARE GOING TO COME AND GO.

BUT A TEENAGER DRIVING WITH THIS TRAFFIC COMING IN, WOULD YOU THINK HOW SIGNIFICANT? I MEAN, IT IS GOING TO BE? I'LL BE CONCERNED EVERY DAY AT 3:00, THREE OR 4:00, MY SON GETS UP.

WOULD I BE FOLLOWING HIM OR WOULD I BE AT WORK? WHAT HE'S DOING, THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I WOULD RECONSIDER IT.

IT'S A GREAT CITY TO LIVE IN, BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE POINTS I WOULD WRITE.

I MEAN, IT'S A CITY OF PRESCHOOL TO LIVE IN, IS PROUD, PROUD FOR ME.

IT'S A PROUD MOMENT TO BE.

I MOVED FROM GEORGIA, I MOVED INTO THE CITY, MADE A CHOICE FOR A REASON.

I WOULD REALLY CONSIDER THAT IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE, THINK ABOUT THE 18 WHEELERS.

THAT'S THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO SAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. HERE ON GUPTA.

IF YOU'RE HERE, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM AND YOU DESIRE TO CONTINUE TO SPEAK.

AND THEN NAVEEN MONAHAN.

GOOD EVENING, COUNSEL. THANKSGIVING.

THANKS FOR GIVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK.

YOU GUYS HAVE ALREADY MENTIONED YOU GUYS HEARD I'M COMING HERE SECOND TIME.

I WAS HERE LAST MONTH ALSO.

I ALSO HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS, THE TRAFFIC.

AND WE KEEP HEARING THAT 40 YEARS, YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING.

SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE 40 YEARS BACK, THERE WAS NO RESIDENCE THERE.

RIGHT. IT WAS INDUSTRIAL FOR EVERYBODY AT THAT TIME.

SO NOW WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY RESIDENTS ARE HERE, I DON'T KNOW WHY COUNCIL DON'T HAVE OUR CITY DON'T HAVE POWERS TO DO SOME CHANGES TO IT.

MAYBE WE NEED TO GET MORE DETAILS INTO THAT BECAUSE YOU GUYS WERE MENTIONING IT IS A STATE.

IT'S COMING FROM STATE.

THAT IS ONE THING.

THE SECOND THING IS THE TRAFFIC.

AS EVERYBODY IS MENTIONING, WE ARE CONCERNED FOR OUR KIDS.

RIGHT. SO WE REQUEST YOU TO LOOK INTO IT.

AND THE GENTLEMAN SAID THAT 484 23 IS FOR TRUCKS, BUT WE DON'T SEE THAT MANY TRUCKS.

EVEN THE TRUCKS ARE THERE.

THERE MIGHT BE GOING AND DELIVERING SOME GOODS AND COMING BACK TO THE BUSINESSES.

BUT THE WAY THE THING WHICH WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IS WAREHOUSE.

WAREHOUSE IS WHERE ALL THE TRUCKS COME TO PICK IT UP, PICK UP THINGS AND 100 TRUCKS PER DAY, WHATEVER THE TRAFFIC STUDY THEY DID.

IF YOU JUST IMAGINE LIKE THAT IS OUR DAILY ROUTINE ROADS, RIGHT? LIKE FOR EVERYTHING I HAVE TO CROSS ROCK HILL.

THAT IS THE ONLY WAY.

ENTRY AND EXIT FOR US.

SO JUST IMAGINE, LIKE IF YOU ARE IN THAT POSITION WHERE YOU ARE TO CROSS 100 TRUCKS DAILY AND YOUR TEENAGE KIDS ARE DRIVING, DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT YOU WILL BE HAPPY OR SAFE WITH THAT IN YOUR MIND? SO WE ARE ASKING YOU TO RECONSIDER AND LOOK AT THE TRAFFIC STUDY AND THE ENVIRONMENT.

ENVIRONMENT STUDY IS NOT DONE.

SO WE REQUEST YOU TO LOOK INTO THAT BECAUSE THE ENVIRONMENT, IT IS A LONG TERM THING LIKE THE EFFECT WILL BE ALWAYS AFTER FIVE YEARS OR TEN YEARS.

SO IN THE IMMEDIATE YOU CAN NEVER MAKE OUT WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

SO THAT'S WHY ALL THESE LOT OF STUDIES ARE DONE.

SO WE ARE REQUESTING YOU TO LOOK INTO ALL THOSE THINGS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

I'M ONE OF THE CONCERNED HOMEOWNER ON THE ORACLE PENINSULA, AND I'M HERE TO RECORD MY POSITION ON CITY'S APPROVAL TO ALLOW DELPHI AN INDUSTRIAL CONSTRUCT, A 60 600,000 SQUARE FEET.

ONE OF THE BIG IN DFW AREA.

RIGHT. IMMEDIATE TO 2000 PLUS SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES AND FOUR SCHOOL DISTRICT SCHOOLS.

TWO ELEMENTARY ONE.

MR. MILLER THE MINUTE AND THEN THE UPCOMING WALK INS AND MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THEN THE PANTHER CREEK.

AND IT ALL COMPRISES OF 3000 STUDENTS IN THE SAME VICINITY, JUST WITHIN PROBABLY ONE MILE AND THE TWO ELEMENTARY OR WITHIN 300 METERS.

SO WITH OVER 1000 CONCERNED HOMEOWNERS IN THAT AREA, JOIN A GROUP AND OPPOSE THIS STUDENT CITY COUNCIL.

FEEL A NEED TO PUT AN ITEM ON THIS, AN AGENDA FOR FUTURE MEETING OR A SPECIAL MEETING TO ADDRESS THE CITIZEN CONCERN.

I BELIEVE COUNCIL MEMBERS STILL CARE FOR THIS SECTION OF ORACLE CITIZEN AND SOON BRING THIS ITEM TO AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION.

THIS IS WHAT I ADDED, BUT BASED ON WHAT SOME OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS SAID, CAN I UNDERSTAND THAT THE COUNCIL MEMBERS UNANIMOUSLY AGREE THAT THE CONCERNS ABOUT TRAFFIC POLLUTION AND INCOMPATIBLE FIT TO THAT LAND? THE ARROWS ARE REAL AND COUNCIL MEMBERS WOULD HAVE OPPOSED IT IF IT COMES FOR REZONING FOR THE SAME LOCATION.

HOWEVER, YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING NOW WHILE THE CONCERNS REMAIN STILL REMAIN THE SAME THANKS.

[01:00:04]

MR. MAYOR. SINCE THE LAST FOUR, FIVE MY COMMENTS HAVE BEEN ABOUT TRAFFIC.

DID WE MAYBE HAVE A STATEMENT ABOUT JUST THE ROAD? IF IT'S. I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT IT, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING THEME 423 IS A STATE CONTROLLED ROAD.

SO THE STATE OF TEXAS MAKES DECISIONS REGARDING ITS EXPANSION AND CAPACITY AND THEY PAID TO BUILD THE ROAD.

NOW, WHAT WE DO AS A CITY IS WE CONSTANTLY OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT REVIEWS THE TRAFFIC ACROSS THE ENTIRE CITY AND WE BUILD OUR BUDGETS AND OUR CAPITAL PLANS.

AND WE'LL BE HAVING A BOND ELECTION IN MAY FOR FUTURE ROAD PARKWAYS TO SET OUR PRIORITIES FOR EXPANSION, TO MAKE SURE THAT TRAFFIC IS FLOWING APPROPRIATELY THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

CERTAINLY THAT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES WE HAVE AS BEING THE FASTEST GROWING CITY IN THE COUNTRY FOR A VERY LONG TIME, IS STAYING IN FRONT OF THE GROWTH AND MAKING SURE INFRASTRUCTURE STAYS UP WITH THINGS.

I WILL SAY THAT I'M PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT THIS QUADRANT OF THE CITY HAS THE MOST INVESTMENT IN ROAD PROJECTS BY A SUBSTANTIAL MARGIN.

IN FACT, WE'RE INVESTING THE MAJORITY OF OUR CAPITAL DOLLARS ON ROAD PROJECTS HERE IN THIS NORTHWEST PART OF OUR CITY, WHICH INCLUDES LEGACY ROAD, WHICH IS BEING BUILT RIGHT NOW.

THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE PROJECTS WE'VE EVER DONE AS A CITY JUST BECAUSE THE BRIDGE IS SO EXPENSIVE.

FIELDS PARKWAY IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW.

THAT'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER MAJOR EAST WEST CORRIDOR THROUGH HERE.

AND SO ALL OF THE TOLLWAY IS BEING EXPANDED AS WELL.

YOU ARE GOING TO START SEEING FURTHER WORK DONE ON US 380 AS THAT STARTS WORKING TOWARDS ITS ULTIMATE BUILDOUT AS A FULL HIGHWAY.

AND SO AS THESE PROJECTS COME ONLINE, THOSE WILL START DISPERSING TRAFFIC THROUGHOUT OTHER ARTERIALS.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS MASTER PLANNED AND THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE CONSTANTLY REVIEW AS A CITY.

ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD? YEAH, I FAILED TO MENTION, BUT ROCK HILL PARKWAY, WEST OF 423, THAT WILL BE IMPROVED AND SO IT'S DIVIDED ROADWAY BUT THEY WILL.

AND JOEL FITTS COVERED THIS IN THE TROY MEETING A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

SO THERE'LL BE A RIGHT TURN LANE TO FOR PEOPLE TO TURN RIGHT AND AS WELL TO TURN LEFT.

AND SO THAT INTERSECTION WILL BE IMPROVED WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT.

AND JOHN, DON'T I RECALL FROM ONE OF YOUR EMAILS OR MAYBE ONE OF JOEL'S EMAILS THAT THE ENTERING AND EXITING TRUCKS FOR THESE DEVELOPMENTS CAN ONLY BE ON 423? CORRECT.

I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THAT.

THEY DO HAVE AN EXIT OUT ON TO ROCK HILL.

COULD YOU CHECK ON THAT? BECAUSE I THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING IN AN EMAIL FROM A STAFF MEMBER.

NOW, WHAT IT WAS, THOUGH, IS THE TRUCKS ARE CONFINED TO ROCK HILL ON ROCK HILL.

BUT 423 THE CONCERN WAS, WELL, THESE TRUCKS WILL BE DRIVING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THEY CAN'T DRIVE THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD UNLESS THEY'RE MAKING DELIVERIES THERE.

SO SOMEBODY IS MOVING IN OR OUT.

THAT'S IT. WE'LL CONTINUE DOLORES AUSTIN.

AND AS DOLORES IS COMING UP, WE GOT A FEW MORE ON THIS TOPIC.

SO IF YOU CAN JUST KIND OF MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE FRONT.

RAMESH, DON'T HAVE A LAST NAME FOR RAMESH.

[INAUDIBLE]. SO IF YOU CAN JUST KIND OF MAKE YOUR WAY TOWARDS THE FRONT.

OKAY. IT'S ROUSSEAU AUSTIN, AND I'M ACTUALLY A RESIDENT OF LITTLE ELM, BUT I'M LIKE, RIGHT ON THE CUSP.

SO WHEN I COME OUT OF WHERE VILLE IS ON 423, I NOW HAVE TO GO TO MY BANK, WHICH IS ON 380.

AND THE OTHER DAY I COULDN'T EVEN GET THERE BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY BACKED UP TO ROCK HILL.

I HAD TO TURN RIGHT ON ROCK HILL AND GO ALL THE WAY AROUND AND COME ALL THE WAY AROUND BACK TO 380, ACROSS 423 TO GET TO IN TOUCH BANK.

SO IT'S ALREADY VERY CONGESTED.

THE ISSUE WITH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CARS AND TRUCKS, FIRST OF ALL, THERE'S DIESEL FUEL.

THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE BREATHING IN DIESEL FUEL THAN THERE IS BREATHING IN CAR FUEL.

AND THERE WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT WITH A HUGE TRUCK RIGHT OFF A MAIN STREET THAT RAN RIGHT INTO A CAR COMING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT BECAUSE OF THEIR FIELD OF VISION.

SO I THINK MOST OF THE CONCERN IS THE FACT THAT THEIR TRUCKS, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OK.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE A SHOE STORE OR GROCERY STORE.

IT'S A FACT THAT WHEN A TRUCK PULLS OUT, IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT SCENARIO.

AND ANYBODY WHO KNOWS PEOPLE WHO ARE TRUCK DRIVERS AND ANYBODY WHO DRIVES ON THE HIGHWAY KNOWS THAT THEIR FIELD OF VISION IS LIMITED.

[01:05:01]

AND THEN THE OTHER THING IS, IS THERE'S HARDLY ANY TRUCKS ON 423.

I'VE BEEN HERE SEVEN YEARS.

I COULD COUNT ON MY HANDS HOW MANY TIMES I'VE SEEN TRUCKS.

SO FOR HIM TO SAY THAT IT'S A TRUCK ROUTE, WELL, IT'S GOING TO BE A TRUCK ROUTE IF YOU PUT THAT THERE.

AND I UNDERSTAND THAT IT SEEMS LIKE LEGALLY YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, BUT THEY PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE.

THERE WAS NO STUDY ON IN THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT I MENTIONED THAT I LIVED IN.

I'M FROM NIAGARA FALLS, NEW YORK, AND LOVE CANAL.

MY FATHER GOT PULMONARY FIBROSIS, MY MOTHER GOT PARKINSON'S, AND NOW I MAY BE GETTING DIAGNOSED WITH PARKINSON'S 45 YEARS LATER.

SO IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.

SO I THINK A LOT OF THE CONCERN WAS THAT NO ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY WAS DONE, NO TRAFFIC STUDY WAS DONE, AS HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY STATED.

AND THERE'S A SCHOOL THERE AND I DON'T HAVE KIDS AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT MY NEIGHBORS AND THEM TRYING TO PICK UP THE KIDS.

IT WOULD BE GREAT IF IF THE BUILDING HAS TO BE THERE NOT TO HAVE AN ENTRY ON 423 AND MAYBE HAVE SOME OTHER SPECIAL ROAD MADE, A THIRD LANE, MAYBE FOR THEM TO SOMEHOW TURN INTO FROM SOMEWHERE, I DON'T KNOW WHERE OR HOW THEY'RE GOING TO GET INTO THERE, BUT HAVE LIKE A DIVIDE AND HAVE AN INTERNAL ROAD WHERE THEY COULD GO AROUND AND GO OUT IN SOME DIRECTION.

BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A NIGHTMARE.

AND I THINK THAT'S A CONCERN OF EVERYBODY.

AND THAT'S BASICALLY I THINK IT'S REALLY A HEALTH CONCERN.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR GIVING AN OPPORTUNITY.

AND THANK YOU. CITY OFFICERS AND MAYORS, EVERYONE.

SO MOST OF MY FELLOW RESIDENTS TALKED ABOUT IT ALREADY.

I'M NOT GOING TO BRING THE SAME ISSUES, BUT MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT DUE DILIGENCE IS DONE BY THE CITY.

WHAT EXTENSIVE THAT ANALYSIS IS DONE BY COMPARING THAT RETAIL VERSUS COMMERCIAL VERSUS INDUSTRIAL, BECAUSE THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT INDUSTRIAL.

HAVE YOU DONE THAT ANALYSIS BETWEEN INDUSTRIAL TO INDUSTRIAL COMPARISON? BECAUSE RETAILERS ARE DIFFERENT.

LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU TAKE A CVS AND ANOTHER PHARMACY LIKE WALGREENS, THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC COMING TO THAT, THOSE RETAIL STORES ARE WAY DIFFERENT THAN THROUGH COMMERCIAL ZONES. SO THAT IS A ONE SECOND ONE.

THIS IS ALSO BROUGHT UP BY MY FELLOW RESIDENTS ABOUT THAT HEALTH CONCERNS AND THE LONG TERM HEALTH CONCERNS.

THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN IS ALREADY DONE.

ENOUGH RESEARCH BY THE HARVARD AND OTHER ANALYSIS SUBMITTED IN THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING.

SO THOSE ARE THE MAJOR CONCERNS THAT AFFECTS BADLY AFFECTS THE KIDS, FAMILIES AND EVERYONE.

SO MY CURRENT REQUEST IS RECONSIDER IF THERE IS A POSSIBILITY TO CONSIDER THESE OTHER FACTORS LIKE WHERE BECAUSE THE MAIN CONCERN, THEY SAID IS WHAT INDUSTRIES ARE GOING TO COME, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS THAT WAREHOUSE IS GOING TO COME THERE BECAUSE WITHOUT KNOWING THE WAREHOUSE, HOW THE CITY CAN APPROACH, WITHOUT KNOWING JUST THE SHELL IS GOING TO BUILD THERE AND THE IN FUTURE SOMETHING ELSE COMES UP.

NO ONE IS GOING TO BE THERE TO HEAR OUR CONCERNS BECAUSE THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US AT LEAST TO KNOW OUR FRIEND WHAT IS GOING TO COME, WHICH INDUSTRY IS GOING TO COME OUT THERE, WHICH WAREHOUSE, WHAT IS GOING TO PUT INSIDE? WE NEED TO KNOW THOSE ARE THE DETAILS.

AND KINDLY CONSIDER THESE CONCERNS FROM OUR SIDE.

AND, YOU KNOW, IF ANY POSSIBILITY RECONSIDERED THAT DECISION AS WELL.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, [INAUDIBLE] . GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

THANKS FOR GIVING THIS OPPORTUNITY.

I DON'T WANT TO REPEAT WHATEVER MY FELLOW SPEAKERS SPOKE ON THE SAME TOPIC LIKE YOU GUYS DECIDED ON.

ALREADY MADE A DECISION TO BUILD A CANCER VIRUS ON HUMANITY STANDS.

WE ARE REQUESTING FOR RECONSIDERING THIS WAREHOUSE CONSTRUCTION, OR AT LEAST KEEP IT IN THE AGENDA AND HAVE A LENGTHY DISCUSSION IN THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING.

THANK YOU. [INAUDIBLE].

GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE, AND THANKS FOR GIVING A CHANCE TO SPEAK ABOUT OUR CONCERNS.

AND I CAME HERE I PREVIOUSLY I CAME AND COMING AGAIN HERE.

I WILL COME UNTIL I AM.

I FEEL SAFE AT ORACLE AT MY AND MY ASSETS ARE ORACLE.

I'M THE ONE OF THE RESIDENTS THERE.

I WILL COME HERE UNTIL THAT IS STOPPED OR I FEEL LIKE A SAFE AND SECURE THERE.

[01:10:03]

THERE ARE MANY CONCERNS THEY ALREADY RAISED.

I DON'T WANT TO REPEAT AGAIN, BUT MY HUMBLE REQUEST IS LIKE WHAT CITY IS DOING NOW? WHAT CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE DOING? IT'S DONE. YES, I SUPPORT THE COURSE THEY ARE FOLLOWING.

IT'S DONE. CARE ABOUT THE RESIDENTS.

HOW ARE YOU TAKING CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE? OUR GENERATIONS LIKE A KIDS WHO ARE GOING TO THE SCHOOLS NOW BECAUSE OF THE DIESEL PARTICULATE MATTER AND EVERYTHING THEY HELD HAND, THEIR IQ WILL BE DROPPED AND THE TEST RESULTS WILL BE DROPPED.

AND OUR NUMBER 152, THAT WILL BECOME IN THE FUTURE NUMBER ONE CITY TO AVOID TO LIVE HERE IF THAT WHAT YOUR TALK IS DONE.

THIS IS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST AND RECONSIDER AND PUT THIS ITEM IN THE AGENDA.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUBMITTED BLUE CARDS WHO HAVE INDICATED THAT THEY DO NOT WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM OR YOU'VE NOT INDICATED AT ALL IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM.

DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER FOLKS WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM? IF YOU'RE IF YOU'LL START MAKING YOUR WAY DOWN AND JUST SAY YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.

AND IF YOU HAVE NOT FILLED OUT A BLUE CARD, WE WILL NEED YOU TO FILL OUT A BLUE CARD AS WELL.

FOR THE RECORD. THANK YOU.

JUST FOR THE RECORD, I DID FILL ONE OUT.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU DON'T HAVE IT.

GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.

MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS CHARLIE DAVIS.

I'M THE PRESIDENT OF SOMERSET HAO.

I'D LIKE TO PRIDE MYSELF ON BEING THE TYPE OF MAN WHO GO WHO ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS.

I GUESS THIS TIME I DIDN'T ASK THE RIGHT QUESTION BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I WAS NOT TOLD THE TRUTH.

THE TRUE. WHAT I MEAN ABOUT THAT IS I WENT TO MY BUILDER AND I SAID, I WANT TO BUY THIS HOUSE.

I DROVE AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD LOOKING AT WHAT'S AROUND THERE.

I SAW VACANT LOTS AND I WENT BACK TO HIM AND I SAID, OKAY, WHAT'S GOING TO BE ON THIS VACANT LOT? HE SAID, A SCHOOL? I SAID, OKAY, GREAT. I SAID, WHAT'S GOING TO BE ON THIS VACANT LOT BACK HERE? HE TOLD ME, WAL MART HAS PURCHASED IT SO GREAT.

I DON'T WANT TO BE NEAR EITHER ONE OF THOSE.

SO I'M A BILL INSIDE THE COMMUNITY.

I ALSO SAID, OKAY, ACROSS THE STREET OVER HERE, WHAT'S GOING TO BE OVER THERE? HE SAID, THAT'S GOING TO BE IN DUST, NOT INDUSTRIAL, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE BUSINESSES.

IT'S GOING TO BE ONES WILL BE APARTMENTS IN THE PROCESS OF THE HOUSE BEING BUILT.

I START SEEING APARTMENTS GOING UP AND THAT CONCERN ME.

HE SAID, WELL, THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD APARTMENTS.

I SAID, WHAT'S GOING TO BE NEXT TO THE APARTMENTS? COVENTRY I'M SPEAKING OF THEM.

THEY SAID, WE'RE BUYING THAT PROPERTY AND WE'RE GOING TO BUILD ON THAT PROPERTY.

I SAID, OKAY.

WHEN? HE SAID, LOOK ACROSS THE STREET, YOU SEE ONE OF OUR SIGNS SITTING ON THE PROPERTY.

THERE WAS A SIGN STATEMENT ON THAT PROPERTY WHERE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BUILDING A WAREHOUSE.

COVENTRY PUT A SIGN THERE.

I SAID, OKAY, GREAT.

A MONTH AGO, I FOUND OUT YOU OFFERED TO PUT A WELL.

WELL, NOT YOU PERSONALLY.

NOW, FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THAT I DON'T HOLD NONE OF YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.

BUT NOW I GOT. I'M LOOKING AT A WAREHOUSE.

IF I HAD KNOWN A WAREHOUSE GOING TO BE BUILT THAT I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED HERE.

I FEEL WHAT I WOULD LIKE IF YOU CAN.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN DO IT OR NOT, IS TO HAVE THE BUILDERS OR DEVELOPERS BE HONEST WITH THE PEOPLE WHO BUILDING HOMES HERE AND SAY, THIS IS WHAT'S GOING TO ACTUALLY BE ON THIS PROPERTY.

THEN THE PEOPLE WILL KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANT TO BUILD HERE BECAUSE BEING DECEIVED.

I JUST FEEL LIKE I WAS DECIEVED I LOST MY MONEY BECAUSE I'M GOING TO LOSE PROPERTY VALUE.

THANK YOU.

IF YOU CAN STATE YOUR NAME AND INDICATE IF YOU'VE COMPLETED A BLUE CARD.

MY NAME IS MILLIE RHODES, AND YES, I COMPLETED A BLUE CARD.

SO I THINK AT THIS POINT WE ALL UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE HERE.

THE RESIDENTS DO NOT WANT THESE THREE LOGISTICS WAREHOUSES TO BE BUILT AT THE INTERSECTION OF ROCK HILL AND 423.

OVER AND OVER, NOT ONLY TONIGHT, BUT OVER THE PAST MONTH SINCE WE ALL KIND OF FOUND OUT ABOUT IT.

WE'VE HEARD FROM THE CITY THAT THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE, THAT THE LAW DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO DO ANYTHING.

WHILE I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT IS YOUR POSITION, I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND YOU THAT THE LAW IS NOT STATIC.

IT CAN CHANGE.

THAT'S WHY YOU ALL WERE VOTED IN TO YOUR POSITIONS TO MAKE ORDINANCES, TO MAKE CHANGE.

[01:15:02]

SO WHILE I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU CAN'T UNDO THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE IN THE PAST, WHAT YOU CAN DO IS MAKE CHANGE.

SO I WANT TO ASK YOU ALL TONIGHT, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO PROTECT THE RESIDENTS? TONIGHT, WE HEARD FROM BOY SCOUTS, FROM MILLER ELEMENTARY.

MILLER ELEMENTARY IS LESS THAN A MILE FROM WHERE THESE WAREHOUSES IS GOING TO BE BUILT.

I THINK ANYONE HERE WOULD AGREE THAT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THESE BOY SCOUTS AND THE OTHER STUDENTS AT THAT AND THE OTHER EIGHT FRISCO ISD SCHOOLS THAT IS GOING TO BE LOCATED WITHIN TWO MILES OF THESE WAREHOUSES THAT ALL THESE STUDENTS DESERVE THE ATTENTION AND TIME OF THE CITY COUNCIL IN PROTECTING THEM AND LOOKING OUT FOR THEIR BEST INTERESTS.

THEREFORE, I WANT TO ASK YOU ALL TO STOP SAYING THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO AND START SAYING LET'S FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN DO.

DESPITE THE FACT THAT THERE ARE NOT CURRENTLY ORDINANCE IN PLACE, THE CITY COUNCIL CAN PUT THEM IN PLACE.

OUR CHILDREN AND THE RESIDENTS OF FRISCO DESERVE THE ATTENTION AND THE COMMON SENSE OF YOU ALL.

THE CITY COUNCIL.

THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.

HI. MY NAME IS BRANT TEBO, AND I'M A RESIDENT IN THE FRISCO LITTLE ELM AREA.

THE WAREHOUSE, TO ME, DOESN'T MAKE SENSE FOR THE AREA.

IT'S A TRAFFIC NIGHTMARE.

THAT AREA IS A FAMILY FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD AND PUTS CITIZENS IN POSITION OF A TRAFFIC NIGHTMARE, AS THE RESIDENTS HAVE STATED.

THIS BUILDING WAS PUT UP WITH NO INPUT FROM THE RESIDENTS BEHIND ME AND SURROUNDING AREAS SUCH AS YOUR NEIGHBORS OF LITTLE ELM.

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING ELSE TO MIRROR THE FAMILY FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE OF PROSPER ACROSS THE STREET.

SO I'M DEFINITELY AGAINST THIS.

AGAINST THIS. THANK YOU.

RECONSIDER AND COME DRIVE DOWN THERE.

BRANT, IF YOU CAN FILL OUT A BLUE CARD IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

MY NAME IS ANAND, AND I FILLED OUT THE BLUE CARD.

I DON'T KNOW WHICH CHECK MARK TO TAKE TO COME AND TALK HERE.

BUT GETTING BACK TO THE TOPIC, I WON'T SAY I'M A NEWLY MINTED CITIZEN OF THE US, BUT A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK, I BECAME A CITIZEN AND I WAS TOLD TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD.

YOU HAVE TO GO VOTE.

SO I'M ASKING A SIMPLE QUESTIONS.

LAST MEETING WE WERE IN.

CITY OFFICIALS WERE THERE AND WE KEPT ASKING THE QUESTIONS.

WE WERE TOLD BY THE BUILDERS IN NICE PLAN THAT FAMILY FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT WOULD BE THERE, THAT A BIT SHOPS THERE WOULD BE THIS, THERE BE THAT GREAT.

AND NOW WE SEE THIS WAREHOUSE.

CITY OFFICIALS BASICALLY RAISED THEIR HAND AND SAID, NOT OUR PROBLEM.

SO I'M EXPRESSING MY FRUSTRATION HERE.

AND AS ELECTED OFFICIALS, I HAVE A SIMPLE QUESTION.

CAN YOU HELP US OUT? AND IF YOU CAN'T HELP US OUT, WE NEED TO HAVE THIS IN THE BALLOT.

TO PUT A NEW ORDINANCE IN PLACE WHERE IT'S A FAMILY FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT, SO BE IT.

FRISCO IS THE NUMBER ONE CITY TO LIVE BECAUSE OF THE THE PEOPLE THAT COME THERE, NOT OF THE WAREHOUSES.

THANK YOU. I'LL JUST PUT MORE WEIGHTING IN THE NEXT SPEAKER.

JUST QUICKLY ADDRESS A COUPLE OF THOSE LAST ONES.

SO THE CITY OF FRISCO DOES HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT WE TEND TO UPDATE EVERY 5 TO 7 YEARS WHERE WE HAVE PLANNED OUT EVERY PORTION OF THE CITY, WHICH CLEARLY DESIGNATES WHERE WE THINK RESIDENTIAL USES SHOULD BE COMMERCIAL USES, SHOULD BE HIGHER INTENSITY USES, SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT THE CITY IS VERY THOUGHTFUL ABOUT.

AND AS WE LOOK AT NEW ZONING CASES, WE'RE ALWAYS REFERRING BACK TO OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO MAKE SURE ANY NEW ZONING CASE COMPLIES WITH OUR VISION FOR THE CITY IS HOW ALL THESE USES ARE IMPLEMENTED.

AS FAR AS THE LAST FEW SPEAKERS HAVE MENTIONED CITY ORDINANCES, AGAIN, THIS IS A STATE LAW.

I WANT EVERYONE TO LEAVE HERE CRYSTAL CLEAR AND THAT THERE'S NOT MISINFORMATION BEING PUT OUT ON NEXT DOOR SOCIAL MEDIA.

SO ZONING IS A STATE LAW IS PROTECTED BY THE STATE OF TEXAS.

IT IS THE STATE OF TEXAS, ONE OF THEIR MOST DEARLY HELD LAWS, AND THEY INTENTIONALLY PUT RULES IN PLACE AGAINST CITIES FROM REZONING PROPERTY.

SO THERE IS BAD ZONING.

WHAT WE AS A COUNCIL CONSIDER BAD ZONING ALL OVER THE CITY, ALL OVER IT, THAT IF WE WERE ABLE TO JUST GO IN AND TAKE OUR RACE OR

[01:20:10]

WE DON'T LIKE THAT THERE, WE DON'T LIKE THIS THERE, WE WOULD ABSOLUTELY DO IT AND WE WOULD CHANGE HOW WE WANTED THE CITY TO DO BECAUSE THE CITY IS VERY MUCH MASTER PLANNED. AS MANY OF YOU ALL HAVE MENTIONED.

JARED PATTERSON IS YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE.

HE REPRESENTS THE DENTON COUNTY.

NOW, I WILL TELL YOU, THERE'S LITTLE HE COULD PROBABLY DO TO CHANGE ZONING LAWS.

AND SO MANY OF YOU HAVE MENTIONED PUT IT ON AN AGENDA TO RECONSIDER.

SO AGAIN, THIS COUNCIL DID NOT MAKE A DECISION FOR THIS TO GO THERE.

IT WAS NOT AN ACTIVE DECISION ON OUR PART.

WHAT ACTUALLY CHANGED WAS THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMING IN AND ACTUALLY COMING IN FOR A REZONING TO GO FROM INDUSTRIAL TO RESIDENTIAL WITH THIS LAST PIECE CARVED OUT. I THINK IT'S FAIR CRITICISM OF YOUR BUILDERS IF YOU DON'T THINK THAT THE BUILDER WAS TRANSPARENT WITH YOU.

BUT TRUTHFULLY, THE BUILDERS, THEY DON'T KNOW NECESSARILY IF ZONING IS GOING TO CHANGE EITHER, YOU KNOW, AND SO WE DO HEAR THAT CONCERN ALL THE TIME.

THAT'S WHY OUR CITY STAFF, WE POST THE BIG ZONING CHANGE SIGNS EVERYWHERE WE CAN ANY TIME THERE'S SOMETHING COMING UP, BECAUSE WE WANT RESIDENTS TO KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE CAN BE.

IT'S WHY OUR GES TEAM HAS PROBABLY THE MOST SOPHISTICATED GIS, MAYBE IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WHERE YOU CAN IN TWO CLICKS, GET ON THE CITY OF FRISCO WEBSITE AND KNOW HOW EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF PROPERTY IN THE CITY IS ZONED.

YOU CAN FIND THAT TODAY.

IT HAS EVERY SINGLE LAYER.

YOU CAN FIND OUT IF THERE'S A FLOODPLAIN ANYWHERE NEAR YOU.

YOU CAN FIND ANY POTENTIAL HAZARD OR CONCERN IS TRANSPARENTLY CONVEYED BY THE CITY OF FRISCO.

AND SO ALL OF US ARE VERY EMPATHETIC BECAUSE AGAIN, IF THIS WAS A ZONING CASE TODAY, WE WOULDN'T APPROVE IT.

IF THIS WAS A ZONING CASE NEXT TO ANY ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, A NEW ONE THAT WE COULD INFLUENCE CHANGE, IT WOULD BE DENIED.

AND WE WERE ABSOLUTELY EMPATHETIC.

AND SO TO ANSWER THE PEOPLE'S QUESTIONS THAT ARE DIRECT OF US, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO FOR US? YOU KNOW, LET YOUR OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS KNOW.

JARED, I KNOW, WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

HE'S VERY ACTIVE IN THIS COMMUNITY.

YOUR TRUSTEES WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOUR CONCERNS ABOUT THE SCHOOL BUSSES.

OUR TRUSTEES ARE THE ONES WHO ACTUALLY CONTROL WHICH NEIGHBORHOODS, GET SCHOOL BEST ACCESS AND THEN ONGOING.

WE ARE GOING TO BE VIGILANT AND MAKING SURE EVERYTHING IS FOLLOWED, THAT OUR THE SAFETY OF OUR CITIZENS ARE PROTECTED.

AND IF CHIEF CITIZEN HAS TO SEND DIRECTED PATROLS OUT THERE TO MONITOR BECAUSE WE FEEL LIKE THESE TRUCKS AREN'T FOLLOWING GUIDELINES THAT WE ARE, THEY'RE CREATING SAFETY CONCERNS, THEN WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT.

IF THEY'RE MISSING ANY ORDINANCE OR CREATING ANY OTHER THING THAT CREATES ANY KIND OF SAFETY CONCERN, WE ARE GOING TO DO THAT.

AND THAT WILL BE AN ONGOING CONVERSATION.

WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT USES ARE GOING TO BE IN THERE.

THEY MAY ACTUALLY, IN A LOT OF INDUSTRIAL PARKS THERE, ACTUALLY END UP BECOMING VERY LOW INTENSE USES.

SO FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THEY HAVEN'T EVEN RELEASED ANY OF THIS PROPERTY OUT.

WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT MAY GO THERE.

I THINK YOU CONTINUING TO BE VOCAL WITH THE ACTUAL PROPERTY OWNER MAY ACTUALLY HAVE INFLUENCE ON WHO THEY CHOOSE TO SIGN LEASES WITH.

I THINK THAT IS A VERY POTENTIAL OUTCOME FOR YOU TO CONTINUE TO EXPRESS YOUR CONCERN WITH THE PRIVATE DEVELOPER WHO DOES HAVE RIGHTS.

THEY HAVE RIGHTS TO BUILD AND THERE IS NOTHING THE CITY OF FRISCO CAN DO TO GO STOP THEM FROM BUILDING.

BUT YOU CAN HAVE A VOICE IN A FEW DIFFERENT MECHANISMS. AND I KNOW COUNCIL. IS EMPATHETIC AGAIN, AND WE'RE PATIENTLY LISTENING AND WE'LL GLADLY LISTEN EVERY SINGLE MEETING.

AND IF THERE IS EVER AN OPENING WE COULD DO TO SOLVE YOUR CONCERNS.

LOOK, WE'RE VOLUNTEERS HERE.

WE WANT EVERY RESIDENT IN OUR COMMUNITY TO BE HAPPY HERE.

WE WANT THEM TO LOVE LIVING IN FRISCO, AND WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO RESOLVE EVERY SINGLE CONCERN ALL 235,000 RESIDENTS HAVE.

AND I CAN TELL YOU IF ANY ONE OF THESE COUNCIL MEMBERS COULD DO THAT, THEY WOULD DO THAT.

I'M SORRY. THAT'S OKAY.

I'VE WAITED AND I'LL CONTINUE.

NO PROBLEM. MY NAME IS GINA BERRY.

I'VE BEEN A I DID, TOO.

A BLUE CARD. I HAVE BEEN A CITIZEN OF FRISCO FOR 21 YEARS.

I'VE SERVED THIS COMMUNITY.

I'VE BEEN A FRISCO TEACHER, PROUDLY DID THAT FOR EIGHT YEARS.

AND I HAVE RAISED TWINS HERE WHO ARE NOW JUNIORS AT PANTHER CREEK HIGH SCHOOL.

I LIVE IN A MULTIGENERATIONAL HOME WITH MY PARENTS.

MY FATHER IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE LAST SPEAKERS HERE TONIGHT, AND THIS MAKES A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE TO US.

[01:25:02]

I KNOW IT DOESN'T AFFECT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU CANNOT DO.

THESE ARE VERY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE.

CAN YOU CHANGE ORDINANCES AT THIS POINT? IN THE NEXT 12 MONTHS, CAN ANY ORDINANCES BE AMENDED? THEIR ZONING IS A STATE, NOT ZONING ORDINANCES LIKE BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR.

AS I UNDERSTAND, IF WE WERE TO HAVE A PARTY LATE AT NIGHT AS A RESIDENTIAL AREA, THERE'S A NOISE.

YOU'VE GOT TO STOP, YOU KNOW, NOISE ORDINANCE.

YOU'VE GOT TO STOP PLAYING THE MUSIC, YOU KNOW, AT 9:30, 10:00.

HOWEVER, AS I UNDERSTAND THIS, THESE WAREHOUSES ARE GOING TO RUN 24 SEVEN.

MOST, AS I'VE DONE THE RESEARCH, LENGTHY RESEARCH, MOST OF THE TRAFFIC THERE WILL BE BETWEEN 8 P.M.

AND 4 A.M.

IDLING TRUCKS.

THEY WON'T HAVE A NOISE ORDINANCE AND THEY ARE 100 YARDS FROM OUR BACK DOORS.

THE LIGHTS THAT WILL BE ON.

THERE'S NO ORDINANCE.

IF WE HAVE THOSE LIGHTS IN OUR BACKYARD, THERE'D BE A PROBLEM.

SO I UNDERSTAND, AND WE'VE BEEN TOLD SEVERAL TIMES WHAT CANNOT BE DONE.

BUT I ASK YOU TO PLEASE OPEN UP AND CONSIDER, HOW CAN THIS BE A WIN WIN? I KNOW WE CAN'T WIN 100%, BUT WHAT CAN IT BE DONE TO MAKE IT WHERE OUR PROPERTY VALUES DON'T GO DOWN AND OUR CHILDREN ARE NOT IN DANGER? IF YOU WENT OUT THERE AT ANY GIVEN TIME, YOU WILL SEE HOW MANY ACCIDENTS ARE AT 380 AND 423.

I WANTED TO ASK THESE FIREMEN.

HOW MANY CALLS DID YOU GO OUT THERE IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS? FOUR WEEKS? IT'S HORRIBLE.

IT'S A PROBLEM NOW.

IT'S JUST GOING TO GET WORSE.

SO THANK YOU FOR NOT HAVING DEAF EARS WITH THIS TONIGHT.

IT MATTERS.

THANKS.

I'M TOM BARRY. I DID FILL OUT A BLUE CARD.

SOMEHOW SOME OF YOU JUST PUT THEM IN YOUR POCKET.

YOU DIDN'T PUT THEM. HE HAS A VERY LARGE STACK.

THERE'S A VERY LARGE STACK WITH BARRY.

WELL, LISTEN, I DO NOT ENVY WHERE YOU'RE SITTING RIGHT NOW.

YOU ALL HAVE HOMES HERE.

YOU VALUE YOUR PROPERTY AND YOU'VE HEARD ALL KINDS OF EMOTIONAL AND A LOT OF FACTUAL INFORMATION.

AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE WE CAN'T UNRING THIS BELL, BUT WE MAY CAN MUTE IT A LITTLE.

THE TRAFFIC IS A REAL CONCERN.

HAVE ANY OF YOU BEEN OVER THERE IN THAT AREA AT THAT TIME OF DAY, MORNING OR AFTERNOON? WOULD YOU NOT AGREE THAT IT IS A HORRIBLE AND I SAW THE PLAN THAT THERE WERE GOING TO BE FOUR ENTRANCES OFF OF ROCK HILL INTO THESE WAREHOUSES. AND I HEARD TODAY THERE WILL NOT BE.

SO I DON'T KNOW THE TRUTH THAT.

BUT IF THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO TRY TO MAKE THAT TURN INTO ROCK HILL AND THEN TURN INTO THE WAREHOUSES OFF OF ROCK HILL, IT IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM THAT'S ON THE NORTH SIDE OF 423.

THAT IS GOING TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM.

I WAS OUT THERE THIS MORNING AT 8:00.

OUR POLICEMEN HAD THE WHOLE THING BLOCKED SO TRUCKS COULD PULL IN THERE WITH CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT.

AND I JUST GOT TO THINKING, HOLY COW, WHAT'S IT GOING TO BE LIKE WHEN WE GOT THAT? AND IF IT'S LATE AT NIGHT OR WHATEVER, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS AND SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU CAN DO.

IMAGINE IT'S RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO YOU.

WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO BE DONE WITHOUT HAVING TO CHANGE THE STATE LAWS OF TEXAS? WHAT CAN YOU DO? TAKE YOU HEARD A LOT OF EMOTION HERE.

THERE'S A LOT. AND THIS IS THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG, OK.

THERE IS A LOT OF UNREST OUT THERE.

AND NOW MISTRUST, WHETHER IT'S MISTRUST AND THE GUY THAT BUILT A HOUSE AND SOLD IT TO US OR OUR CITY NOT SEEMING TO LISTEN BECAUSE OUR FIRST WORDS WE HEAR, SORRY, GUYS, IT'S DONE.

GO SIT DOWN AND PLAY WITH YOUR POOL.

THAT'S THE ATTITUDE THAT WE GOT.

SORRY. SHOULD'VE KNOWN IT, MAN.

YOU SHOULD HAVE COME TO MEETINGS.

YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN OUT THERE.

THAT'S THE ATTITUDE THAT WE HEARD.

I KNOW YOU WEREN'T THERE.

YOU DIDN'T DO THAT.

I KNOW EACH ONE OF YOU LOVE THIS CITY.

YOU WORKED HARD TO GET WHERE YOU ARE, AND YOU WANT TO BE THE BEST.

I'M JUST SAYING I'M RINGING.

I'M RINGING THE BELL.

THIS WILL NOT GO AWAY.

BUT I ASK YOU TO COME OUT THERE, TAKE A LOOK, SEE WHAT YOU THINK, AND SEE IF YOU CAN MITIGATE SOME OF THESE ISSUES THAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE SPENT SO MUCH ENERGY TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER, FACTUAL AND EMOTIONAL.

[01:30:02]

I DO APPRECIATE YOU LISTENING AND I WISH YOU LUCK.

ALL RIGHT.

REAL QUICK. ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT JUST GOT BROUGHT UP, MAYBE.

GO AHEAD. I'LL ASK HIM WHEN YOU'RE DONE.

YEAH. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR.

GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

MY NAME IS VINOD. I'M FROM ROCK HILL.

I'M LIVING HERE FROM 2018.

FRISCO WAS MY DREAM CITY.

YOU KNOW, I READ A LOT ABOUT FRISCO WHEN I MOVED FROM NEW JERSEY TO HERE.

IT WAS LIKE, FIRST THE FASTEST DEVELOPING CITY IN THE AMERICA.

THAT MADE ME TO COME HERE.

MOVED FROM NEW JERSEY TO HERE NOW, WITH ALL THESE THINGS HAPPENING NEXT DOOR TO ME.

I DON'T FEEL SAFE HERE.

SAFE IN THE SENSE WITH RESPECT TO HEALTH OR TRAFFIC OR SCHOOL GOING KIDS.

SO MANY ISSUES.

SO WE ARE ALL OPPOSING THIS WAREHOUSE CONSTRUCTION IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

I KNOW. I MEAN, NO BUILDER HAS TOLD US ABOUT THIS WAREHOUSE THING.

THEY WERE SHOWN ALL ROSY PICTURES TO US.

WE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY, LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENTS KIND OF THING.

BUT NOTHING IS GOING IN OUR WAY AT THIS MOMENT WITH THIS WAREHOUSE CONSTRUCTION.

SO ON BEHALF OF EVERYONE HERE, I REQUEST AND I OPPOSE THIS CONSTRUCTION, PLEASE HELP US TO GET RID OF THIS ISSUE.

AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. JOHN, ONE OF THE RECENT QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LIGHTS.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT OUR ORDINANCES ARE IN REGARDS TO AT LEAST THOSE? YES, I WAS IN ONE OF MY EARLIER RESPONSES TO MILLIE THAT LIGHT ORDINANCE DOES APPLY.

AND WHAT THE ESSENTIALLY THE LIGHT ORDINANCE IS.

LIGHT POLES ARE LIMITED TO HEIGHTS OF 20 FEET WITHIN 100 FEET OF RESIDENTIALLY ZONED PROPERTY.

AFTER THAT, IT'S LIMITED TO A HEIGHT OF 30 FEET.

THOSE LIGHTS HAVE TO BE FULLY SHIELDED.

ANY LIGHTS ATTACHED TO THE BUILDING ARE REQUIRED TO BE FULLY SHIELDED, AND IT'S A QUARTER FOOT CANDLE LIGHT OVER SPILLAGE THAT'S ALLOWED AND THAT'S A VERY LOW LIGHT INTENSITY.

AND THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THE BRICK WALL AS WELL AS TREES ALONG THE COMMON PROPERTY LINE.

SO THE LIGHTING ORDER SUPPLIES, THE NOISE ORDINANCE APPLIES.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE PLACE ENFORCES.

EVEN IF THERE ARE TRUCKS THERE, IF IT BECOMES TOO LOUD FOR SOME REASON, WE DO HAVE SOME ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS THAT WE CAN START TALKING WITH THE USERS AT THAT POINT ABOUT THOSE ISSUES. YES, THAT'S SOMETHING GOOD FOR CHIEF CHILSON TO ADDRESS AT SOME POINT.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS TOPIC? GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

THIS IS RAJESH.

I LIVE IN THE STATES AT ROCK HILL.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY HERE, GUYS.

I KNOW EVERYONE IS SAYING THEY'RE CONCERNED, BUT HERE I WANT TO PRESENT IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

YOU KNOW, I CAME HERE AS A DREAM, RIGHT? I WORKED HARD DAY AND NIGHT AND I SAVED SOME MONEY AND I BOUGHT A HOME HERE.

AND I HAVE TWO KIDS, TWO YEAR OLD AND FIVE YEAR.

I KNOW AT SOME POINT THEY HAVE TO GO TO MIDDLE SCHOOL.

AND THE MIDDLE SCHOOL IS CROSS ACROSS THE STREET.

AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ONE LINE OR TWO LINE ROAD.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SIX LINE ROAD.

RIGHT? THREE WAY ON BOTH SIDES.

IMAGINE IF A FIVE YEAR OLD KID GOING TO THE SCHOOL AND WALK OR CYCLE OR BICYCLE.

RIGHT. SOMETHING GOT HAPPENED.

IS ANYONE GOING TO GET MY KID BACK HERE? NO. RIGHT. BECAUSE IT'S NOT IN YOUR HANDS.

RIGHT. I WANT YOU TO THINK FROM ALL DIRECTIONS, FROM ALL ASPECTS, TO RECONSIDER THIS OR REVISIT THIS AND DO WHATEVER YOU CAN DO.

RIGHT. TO PROTECT OUR LIVES, OUR FAMILIES, OUR KIDS, AND THE FUTURE GENERATIONS OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

WE ARE GOING TO BE VERY PROUD OF YOU GUYS.

PLEASE REVISIT THIS AND DO WHATEVER YOU CAN DO.

AND I WANT TO RAISE ONE MORE CONCERN HERE.

RIGHT. IMAGINE IF YOU ARE DRIVING IN A CAR AND IF YOU PARK A CAR IN THE PARKING LOT.

AND OBVIOUSLY IT'S A COLD SEASON.

RIGHT. AND YOU NEED TO TURN ON YOUR ENGINE BECAUSE YOU NEED THAT HEAT.

IMAGINE TRUCK WHITE TRUCKS ARE COMING.

[01:35:02]

THEY ARE GOING TO BRING THESE SOME COLD FOOD.

RIGHT. THEY CANNOT TURN OFF THE ENGINES.

THEY ARE GOING TO KEEP THAT ENGINE ON.

AND IMAGINE HOW MUCH POLLUTION IT IS GOING TO GENERATE.

WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT ONE TRUCK.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HUNDREDS OF TRUCKS.

AND THEY ARE NOT GOING AWAY.

THEY ARE GOING TO STAY THERE UNTIL THE LOADING IS DONE OR UNLOADING IS FINISHED.

RIGHT. SO PLEASE, I AM REQUESTING YOU AGAIN, RIGHT? PLEASE DO WHATEVER YOU CAN DO TO PROTECT OUR LIVES AND OUR FAMILIES.

THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS SAMIR KAMARA AND I FEEL THE BLUE CARD.

THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME A CHANCE TO SPEAK.

SO AS MY FRIEND SAID.

SO THIS FISCAL CITY WAS ELECTED AS A NUMBER ONE CITY TO LIVE IN US IN 2018 MONEY MAGAZINE.

SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS I MOVED TO THE CITY WITH A BIG DREAM THAT WILL BE CLEAN CITY, FAMILY FRIENDLY CITY AND HAVING ALL THE FACILITIES OVER HERE.

SO MY I HAVE A DAUGHTER IN HIGH SCHOOL.

SHE GOES TO PANTHERS, PANTHER CREEK HIGH SCHOOL.

WE DON'T HAVE A BUS AND I HAVE TO DROP HER AND PICK HER UP.

AND MY SON GOES TO MILLER ELEMENTARY, SO AND MY DAUGHTER WILL BE DRIVING US, LEARNING TO DRIVE PRETTY SOON AND VERY SCARED.

SO WITH THE INCREASE OF TRAFFIC, HOW IT WILL BE.

AND ANOTHER THING I WANT TO BRING UP, WHICH NOBODY TOUCHED.

SO THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE 380 INTERSECTION ON FM 423 IS FROM IN THE MORNING FROM SEVEN AROUND 7 A.M. TO 10 A.M.

THERE'S A LOT OF NOISE CURRENTLY AND IT BECOMES HARD TO EVEN SLEEP AT THAT TIME.

EVEN IF YOU WALK AROUND ROCK HILL OR SO, YOU WILL HEAR THAT NOISE.

SO WITH THIS WAREHOUSE IS COMING IN THERE WITH ALL THESE TRUCKS, YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW HOW HORRIBLE IT WILL BE.

AND I WILL GIVE YOU AN INSTANCE.

I WAS COMING FROM MAIN STREET TO JUST ACROSS FROM PANTHER CREEK TO ROCK HILL.

IT TOOK ME 20 MINUTES IN THAT TRAFFIC AT 6:30 P.M.

YESTERDAY. AND YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW HARD A HOW HORRIBLE IT WILL BE WHEN THIS ALL THESE TRUCKS WILL BE COMING IN HERE.

SO I WOULD I HAVE ONE QUESTION IS LIKE, IF YOU GUYS CAN HELP US, LIKE, CAN YOU GUIDE US OR WE CAN MOVE FORWARD AND HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED FOR US? AND SECOND, ON HUMANITY GROUNDS, I WOULD ASK YOU TO PUT THE SHOES FROM OUR SIDE AND SEE THE THINGS WHICH YOU MIGHT MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO SEE.

THANK YOU. FIRST.

GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS VINCENT BECKER AND I FEEL THE BLUE CARD.

I WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT THE CASE SAME AS MY FELLOW RESIDENTS HAVE PRESENTED, EVEN THOUGH THOSE CONCERNS REMAIN AT HIGH.

FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY.

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, I MOVED FROM ILLINOIS ANY YEAR BACK.

I WAS A RESIDENT FOR ILLINOIS FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS.

I MADE A PERSONAL CHOICE TO CHOOSE FRISCO AS MY FUTURE HOME, AND I MOVED INTO FRISCO AS AT ORACLE PARKWAY.

I LIVE IN A STATUS ORACLE PHASE ONE.

I'M SURE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, ALL THE CONCERN THAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED HERE WITH RESPECT TO TRAFFIC AND ALL THOSE THINGS WILL BE WORKED OUT THROUGH THE LOGISTIC EXPANSION AND ALL THOSE THINGS. BUT ONE OTHER POINT THAT I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT HERE IS THE PASSIVE DAMAGE THAT WE ARE MAKING TO THE AIR THAT WE ARE GOING TO BREATHE IS GOING TO BE STAYING THERE FOR A LONG TIME, AND THAT IS GOING TO AFFECT THE HEALTH OF A LOT OF RESIDENTS LIVING IN THE VICINITY.

I HOPE THIS CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AND PEOPLE CONSULT PEOPLE COURSE MEMBERS SHOULD SHOW US AN AVENUE TO TAKE THIS UP FURTHER AND HELP US TO RESOLVE IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. THIS WILL BE MY HUMBLE REQUEST.

PLEASE CONSIDER THIS REQUEST AND SHOW US THE AVENUE.

HOW CAN WE PROCEED FURTHER? THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THIS IS RESH AND A GOOD EVENING, MAYOR.

AND THE COUNCIL. JUST I WOULD LIKE TO ASK ONE QUESTION.

AS A FAMILY MEMBER, WOULD YOU GUYS LIKE TO STAY RIGHT NEXT TO THE WAREHOUSE? OBVIOUSLY. ALL RIGHT.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE ARE COMING FROM.

AND HERE WE TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT THE ZONING IS THE PART OF STATE AND IT HAS BEEN DONE A LONG TIME AGO.

BUT BY THAT TIME WHEN THEY DID IT, DEFINITELY NOBODY HAS EXPECTED THAT THE CITY WILL GROW LIKE THIS CRAZY, PARTICULARLY THE FRISCO CITY TOWARDS THE NORTH.

[01:40:09]

BUT NOW IF YOU SEE IT RIGHT NOW, THE CURRENT SITUATION IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.

THE COMMUNITY GROWN UP LIKE ANYTHING AND SO MANY COMMUNITIES SURROUNDING WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO BUILD A WAREHOUSE.

SO NOW WE NEED TO CONSIDER ALL THOSE THINGS.

SO THE NATION HAS TAKEN LONG BACK BASED ON THOSE CONDITIONS.

BUT RIGHT NOW WE NEED TO THINK BEFORE THEY CONSTRUCT ANYTHING THERE.

WHAT ARE THE CURRENT SITUATION AND HOW THE TRAFFIC WILL BE? AND ONE MORE IMPORTANT THING IS TO GET IN, GET OUT FROM ROCK HILL TO FOR 20.

THAT IS THE ONLY WAY.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER ALTERNATE WAY TO GO FROM THERE.

THAT'S THE ONLY 423 IS THE ONLY OPTION WE HAVE.

SO IF 100 PLUS ARE 800 BAYS, THEY ARE GOING TO BUILD AND 800 PLUS TRUCKS ON A DAY.

THAT'S REALLY BIG THING.

VERY, VERY BIG THING.

SO AS SOME OF MY FRIENDS, MY COLLEAGUES, MY NEIGHBORS, AS THEY MENTIONED, WE REQUEST AT LEAST SOME OF YOU GUYS IF YOU COME THERE DURING THE PEAK HOURS, 3 P.M.

OR MORNING, 730 TO 9 A.M.

AND THE EVENING 4 P.M.

TO SOMEWHERE 7:00 PM.

IT'S REALLY, REALLY HORRIBLE TRAFFIC AND IF ANYTHING HAPPENS ON THE ROAD, THAT'S IT.

YOU NEED TO WAIT LIKE 3 TO 4 HOURS.

THE REASON FOR THAT IS THERE IS NO OTHER WAY FOR US TO GET OUT FROM THAT TRAFFIC.

IF THE TRUCKS START COMING IN, THEN OBVIOUSLY IT'S A BIG MESS AND SO WE CAN'T EXPLAIN TO YOU ALSO SO HOW MISERABLE IT WILL BE.

SO WHAT WE REQUEST FROM ALL OF US, WE WANT YOU TO BE OUR VOICE AND PLEASE, WE TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S DONE, BUT WE REQUEST YOU TO RETHINK WHAT YOU GUYS CAN DO TO BE FAIR IN TERMS OF OUR FAMILIES.

BECAUSE AS A FAMILY MEMBER, I DON'T WANT TO STAY RIGHT NEXT TO THE WAREHOUSE WITH MY KIDS.

AND, YOU KNOW, WITH ALL THOSE SOUND POLLUTION AND AIR POLLUTION, WHATEVER.

SO WE KINDLY REQUEST YOU TO TAKE THE ACTIONS, WHATEVER YOU CAN, AND PLEASE DO THE FAVOR AND BE OUR VOICE.

THANKS.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, AND GOOD EVENING COUNCIL MEMBERS.

I'M VEGETARIAN AND I LIVE IN AT ROCK HILL AND I MOVED IN THERE IN 2018.

WE JUST HEAR NOW THAT THE ZONING HAS BEEN DONE AND ALL THIS HAS BEEN ZONED AS INDUSTRIAL ZONES AROUND A FEW DECADES AGO.

IS THERE NO WAY THAT, YOU KNOW, THE CITY OR THE STATE DO THEY DON'T THEY SEGREGATE THE INDUSTRIAL AREA FROM THE RESIDENTIAL AREA? YOU SAID THAT YOU HAVE A PLAN AND EVERYTHING GOES ACCORDING TO PLAN, RIGHT? WHEN THAT WAS THERE, HOW WAS THE OTHERS? THE THE AREA AROUND THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY, WAS IT ALLOWED TO BECOME A RESIDENTIAL ZONE? HOW DID THEY MOVE? IS THERE NO WAY YOU COULD.

SOMEBODY CHECKED THAT AND THEY SEGREGATED THE INDUSTRIAL AREA AND THE RESIDENTIAL AREA.

IT'S VERY NEXT DOOR FOR US.

THERE'S ONLY A COMPOUND WALL BETWEEN OUR PROPERTY AND THE THE WAREHOUSE THAT'S COMING IN TODAY.

WE STAND HERE FEELING VICTIMIZED WHERE ALL THE VARIOUS THINGS THAT HAS HAPPENED HERE.

AND WE HAVE NOTHING IN CONTROL OF US AND WE ARE AT MERCY OF YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHOM YOU KNOW, YOU HEARD THE THE PROBLEMS WE ARE FACING NOW, AND WE'RE ALL TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, EXPANDING THE ROAD AND ALL.

IT'S LIKE LETTING THE FIRE GO ON AND THEN, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO CONTROL THAT.

WHY DO YOU EVEN START THAT? FIRST OF ALL, WHY DO YOU LET THAT START? SO IS THERE NO WAY WE CAN ACTUALLY REVISIT THE ZONING AND MAYBE YOU CAN APPROACH THE STATE BETTER THAN YOU ARE, REPRESENT US BETTER THAN WE DOING, TRYING TO DO IN A SMALL WAY AND SEE IF SOMETHING CAN BE DONE.

MAYBE, YOU KNOW, INSTEAD OF THIS PROPERTY IS RELOCATE IT TO SOMEWHERE ELSE WHERE IT'S MUCH MORE IN THE VICINITY OF THE INDUSTRIES.

I MEAN THAT DIRECTLY ANSWER THE QUESTION IS THE ONLY WAY A ZONING CHANGE COULD HAPPEN IS IF THE PROPERTY OWNER VOLUNTARILY DECIDED TO GO THROUGH A ZONING CHANGE.

BUT THEN WHEN WHEN IT WAS KNOWN THAT IT'S ALL INDUSTRIAL AREA AND NOW THE PREVIOUS PROPERTY OWNERS, THEY WERE ABLE TO CHANGE IT TO A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT THAT TIME, WAS IT NOT KNOWN THAT THERE IS AN INDUSTRY THAT'S LIKELY TO COME AROUND THIS PLACE AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THESE THESE RESIDENCES? SO IT WAS THE RESIDENCES WERE AT LEAST PREVENTED AT THAT TIME.

THAT DID NOT HAPPEN.

SO NOW THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES AROUND THIS PLACE AND NOW WE ARE HAVING AN INDUSTRY OR A WAREHOUSE COMING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR HOUSES.

[01:45:06]

CAN WE NOT NOW AT LEAST DO SOMETHING TO PREVENT THAT? OKAY. THANK YOU. YOU STATE YOUR NAME AGAIN, SIR.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GOT A BLUE CARD FROM YOU.

CAN YOU REPEAT THAT? MY NAME IS VIJAY.

OKAY. I SIGNED.

YOU DID? THANK YOU.

HEY, MY NAME IS PRASAD.

I AM NOT WRITTEN THE BLUE CARD, BUT I WAS SUBMITTED BEFORE.

BEFORE I LEAVE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

AND I.

TILL DATE. TILL I COME HERE.

I WAS THINKING THIS IS THE ONLY THING WHICH WAS GOING WRONG.

BUT I HEARD FROM MR. MAYOR THAT THERE WERE A LOT OF SUCH THINGS WHICH YOU WERE EMPATHETIC ABOUT.

AND TODAY YOU ARE AGAIN BEING EMPATHETIC ABOUT.

AND TOMORROW THERE MAY BE ANOTHER ONE DAY AFTER TOMORROW.

THEN MAYBE SOMETHING ELSE.

NOT SURE WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT NOT BEING EMPATHETIC, BUT BEING HAPPY TO HEAR THE GOOD THINGS.

SO IF FROM FROM THE PREVIOUS CONVERSATION, IF WE SAY IT TO APPROVE THE WAREHOUSES, YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK AT ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY, DEEP ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK AT TRAFFIC STUDY.

IT WAS NOT NOT REQUIRED IT THAT IS WHAT WE HEARD FROM HIM.

BUT YEAH, YOU ARE REPRESENTING THE CITY WHERE PEOPLE LIVE NOT OF EMPTY LAND OR DESERTED LAND TO APPROVE.

RIGHT. SO I WOULD SAY IF THE STANDARDS DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU TO DO IT, CHANGE THE STANDARDS SO YOU DON'T GET INTO THIS SITUATION TOMORROW.

I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE PROBLEMS TODAY.

I DON'T WE DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT WILL BE SOLVED OR NOT.

WE DON'T SEE ANSWERS.

WE DON'T KNOW THE ROAD.

WE DON'T KNOW WOULD IT HAVE APPROACHED SOMEBODY GUIDES US TO STOP THIS, BUT WE WILL DO WHAT IT TAKES TO TO GET THIS START FROM OUR SIDE, FROM HOMEOWNERS, BUT OTHERWISE FROM FROM YOUR FISCAL CITY COUNCIL.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO FROM FOR FUTURE SUCH SCENARIOS.

IF NOT THIS ONE, YOU WILL FACE ANOTHER ONE.

SOMEBODY ELSE FAILS FACE.

SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE ALL CITY COUNCILS TO LOOK AT YOUR STANDARDS AND SEE IF THAT NEEDS CHANGE BECAUSE YOU ARE YOU ARE ACTUALLY LOOKING AFTER PEOPLE, NOT SOME DESERTED AREAS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

CAN YOU STATE YOUR NAME AGAIN, SIR? YOU HAVE A CARD? THANK YOU.

TERENCE MALLARD. I DO NOT HAVE A CARDS.

I'LL FILL ONE OUT WHEN I'M DONE.

I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY, GEOFF, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR RESPONDING TO MY EMAIL, BUT I THINK THE CONTEXT OF WHAT I PRESENTED TO YOU WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

I WASN'T ASKING FOR A ZONING CHANGE FOR INDUSTRIAL.

WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT IS INSTEAD OF WAREHOUSES, LET'S PUT THE PUT SOMETHING IN THERE THAT'S BENEFICIAL FOR THE KIDS.

PUT IN A SOCCER FIELD, PUT IN A GYMNASIUM, DON'T PUT WAREHOUSES.

IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE COMMON SENSE.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO GET AT.

SO I WANTED TO EXPLAIN THAT TO YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND THANKS.

ONE QUESTION. YOU DID SAY THAT WE CAN GO TO, I THINK, OUR ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR SUPPORT.

IS THAT CORRECT? OR I MENTIONED YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE.

HIS NAME IS JARED PATTERSON, A STATE REPRESENTATIVE IN FRISCO AND DENTON COUNTY.

NOW, I'LL JUST BE TRANSPARENT.

IS THE LIKELY ANSWERS THAT YOU WILL HEAR FROM HIM ARE VERY SIMILAR FROM WHAT YOU HEARD FROM THE CITY, WHICH IS ABOUT ZONING CHANGES AND HOW THAT WORKS.

AND IF SOMEONE WANTED TO BUY THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY AND HAVE IT REZONE TO ALLOW A SOCCER FIELD OR A GYMNASIUM, I THINK COUNCIL WOULD GLADLY SUPPORT THAT. GOTCHA.

OKAY. YOU.

YEAH. THANK YOU. AND AGAIN, BE ADVOCATES FOR US.

BE OUR VOICE OF THE CUSTOMER.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

HI. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

MY I HAVE TWO CONCERNS, BASICALLY.

ONE IS MY PERSONAL AND SECOND THING IS RELATED TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL AFFECT.

IT'S GOING TO IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AFTER THE HOUSE IS BUILT THERE.

SO FIRST CONCERN IS I HAVE TWO KIDS.

ONE IS HIGH SCHOOL AND ONE IS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

EVERY DAY MORNING I HAD TO DROP THEM IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE FREE SCHOOL.

THE RULES, LIKE THERE IS NO BUS FACILITY WITHIN THE TWO MILES OF RADIUS.

SO I'M SPENDING AROUND 30 MINUTES IN THE MORNING AND 30 MINUTES IN THE EVENING TO DROP THEM AND PICK THEM.

AND SECOND THING IS, WE HAD TO REACH MY OFFICE ON TIME FOR ATTENDING THE OFFICE HOURS, THE STANDUPS AND EVERYTHING.

THERE WILL BE A LOT, MANY THINGS WE HAVE TO GO ON TIME.

SO IF THERE IS A VIRUS COMES THERE AND THERE ARE A LOT OF TRAFFIC INCREASES AND ALSO THERE ARE THE BIG TRUCKS WILL BE STANDING JUST OPPOSITE TO MY CAR.

[01:50:04]

I CAN'T REACH MY SCHOOL.

I CAN'T DROP MY KIDS ON TIME AND I CAN'T REACH MY OFFICE ON TIME.

SO THESE PROBLEMS ARE KEEP CONTINUING AND IT'S GOING TO INCREASE IN FUTURE.

DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT OR NOT? OKAY, SO THAT'S THE FIRST.

AND SECOND THING IS ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES.

SO DEFINITELY THE THE THOUSANDS OF ARE LIKE THE 800 OR 900 TRUCKS ARE GOING TO STAND THERE AND THEY WILL BE IN IDLE IDLING MEANS BASICALLY THE AC FOR THE DRIVER WILL BE ON.

SO IT PRODUCES A LOT OF ENVIRONMENTAL LIKE THE POLLUTION.

SO THAT'S GOING TO AFFECT MY KIDS HEALTH.

SO PLEASE CONSIDER THESE TWO THINGS AND WE DON'T WANT TO BE WHERE ELSE TO BE BUILT THERE.

INSTEAD OF THAT, PLEASE PLAN SOMETHING ELSE.

LIKE AS MY RESIDENT, I MUST MAKE COMMENTS ALREADY TO PLEASE CONSIDER DIFFERENT THINGS TO BE BUILT THERE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

CAN YOU GIVE ME YOUR NAME, SIR? AND I ALREADY BUILT YOU HAVE A CART.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

THIS IS TUSHAR. I LIVE IN THREE, FIVE, NINE TIMBER CREEK LANE, JUST OPPOSITE TO WAREHOUSE.

I THINK ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS ALREADY TALK ABOUT THEIR CONCERN.

I SHARE THE SAME CONCERNS ON THAT AND I AM A LITTLE BIT AGAINST ABOUT IT.

BUT ONLY CONCERN THAT I WOULD LIKE TO REITERATE IS THE RISK THAT IS BEING PUT ON THE FAMILY AND KIDS AND THE FUTURE GENERATION BECAUSE OF THE WAREHOUSE.

I THINK THAT'S MY BIGGEST CONCERN.

SO IF YOU GUYS CAN DO ANYTHING, HELP US TO STOP THIS OR GIVE US A GUIDANCE HOW WE CAN PROCEED FURTHER, THAT WOULD BE REALLY APPRECIATED.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

AND MY NAME IS SURESH, AND I'M RESIDENT OF ESTATES AT ROCK HILL.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR LISTENING ALL OUR CONCERNS, AND I THINK MOST OF THE PARTS WERE COVERED MY BY MY FRIENDS AND ALL THE COLLEAGUES NEARBY.

AND THE ONLY THING WHICH I WANTED TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION IS THE NOISE POLLUTION, WHICH EVERYBODY MENTIONED LIKE LIKE ONE OF OUR FRIEND TOLD EVEN AFTER 10:00, IF SOMEBODY IS KEPT A LOUD NOISE AT THEIR BACKYARDS OR FRONT YARD, THEN SOMEBODY WILL CALL THE COPS AND SAY THAT IT'S A DISTURBANCE FOR THEM.

SO THE SAME WAY, IF THE WAREHOUSE COMES IN AND IF WE HAVE 24 BY SEVEN, THE SAME NOISE COMING FROM THE TRUCKS AND ALL THE SOUND POLLUTION THAT CAN CAUSE MORE ISSUES FOR US. AND FRANKLY SPEAKING, AS ALL THE PEOPLE MENTIONED, NONE OF OUR BUILDERS WERE MENTIONED ABOUT THESE WAREHOUSES THAT ARE COMING IN.

WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WILL BE SOME COMMERCIAL THINGS, NOT THERE'S INDUSTRIAL THINGS.

SO THAT'S A BIG CONCERN.

BUT PLEASE CONSIDER OUR REQUEST.

AND I STRONGLY OPPOSE THIS WAREHOUSE CONSTRUCTION AS LIKE ALL OTHER FRIENDS AT ALL.

SO PLEASE CONSIDER OUR REQUEST AND PLEASE DO SOMETHING.

WHAT YOU CAN DO FROM YOUR END, WHERE YOU MENTIONED ALREADY THAT IT IS NOT IN CITY HANDS, BUT PROBABLY YOU CAN RAISE OUR VOICE TO STATE AND THEY CAN HELP US.

SO THANK YOU. WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS MATTER? WE HAVE ALL KICKED IN.

ALL RIGHT. MY NAME IS JOSH MEEK.

I RESIDE AT 8625 HICKORY STREET, AND I'LL HAVE TO GET YOU A BLUE CARD.

I'M GLAD I'M TAKING NOTES ON AN IPAD BECAUSE IT'S LIKE, A MILE LONG.

SO I THINK FIRST UP, TONIGHT IS A HARD NIGHT FOR EVERYBODY.

I THINK I'VE SEEN YOU GUYS TAKE ACTION WHEN YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO TAKE ACTION.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, I THINK TONIGHT YOUR HANDS ARE TIED.

AND I DON'T THINK THAT YOU GUYS ARE NECESSARILY EXCITED ABOUT MAKING THIS DECISION, EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE TO.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, I MEAN, A LOT OF HOMEOWNERS TONIGHT, I THINK, ARE JUSTIFIED IN THEIR EMOTIONS, THEIR FEELINGS AND THEIR LOGIC.

AND I THINK THIS IS A HARD NIGHT FOR EVERYBODY.

BUT ULTIMATELY, AT THE END OF THE DAY, I THINK THE SAME ZONING LAWS THAT ARE PREVENTING YOU FROM BEING ABLE TO TAKE ACTION ALSO PROTECT A LOT OF OTHER AREAS THAT ARE ALREADY ESTABLISHED AND PREVENT PEOPLE FROM COMING IN AND PUTTING INDUSTRIAL IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA.

SO WHILE WE'VE GOT A LOT OF CHALLENGES, I THINK FOR YOU GUYS TONIGHT IN THE ASPECT THAT I THINK HANDS ARE TIED ALREADY, I THINK COMMUNICATION IS KEY.

AND I DO FEEL FOR YOU GUYS, I FEEL BAD FOR YOU GUYS.

AS A HOMEOWNER. IF I HAD PURCHASED THERE, I WOULD BE SHARING PROBABLY A LOT OF THE SAME CONCERNS AND EMOTIONS.

[01:55:04]

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS LOOKING AT THAT I HOPE THAT EACH OF YOU WILL FOLLOW UP WITH OUR SCHOOL BOARD TRUSTEES IS LOOKING AT THE RADIUS AROUND THAT HIGH SCHOOL AND IT BEING WITHIN KIND OF TWO MILES, SOME OF THOSE RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND KIDS POTENTIALLY HAVING TO CROSS OVER FOR 23 IS SOMETHING THAT I'LL BE FOLLOWING UP WITH.

AND GOING BACK TO COMMUNICATION AND ALL OF YOU ALL THAT HAVE VOICED YOUR OPINIONS HERE FOR CITY COUNCIL, I HOPE THAT YOU SHOW UP AT THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETING AND YOU ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES WITH THE TRUSTEES AS WELL AS FAR AS IT GOES, AS KIDS POTENTIALLY CROSSING THAT AREA, BECAUSE AS I WAS LOOKING AT THE MAP, THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT AS A FATHER OF TWO KIDS, IF I LIVED IN THAT COMMUNITY, I WOULD BE EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PLAN LOOKS LIKE, UNFORTUNATELY FOR THAT PROPERTY.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S FACTUAL, WHAT'S RUMORS, BUT AS FAR AS IT GOES, AS ENTRANCES, THEY'RE ON ROCK HILL VERSUS FOR 23 WOULD CREATE, I THINK, MAJOR CONGESTION THERE.

AND SO I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF JUSTIFICATION IN POTENTIALLY A TRAFFIC PLAN.

I KNOW CITY STAFF DOES A PHENOMENAL JOB AT JUST MAKING SURE THAT'S COMMUNICATED TO A LOT OF THESE HOMEOWNERS THAT HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERNS OVER THAT.

AND THEN I KNOW WE'VE GOT ORDINANCES RELATED TO LIGHTING.

I DO BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE SOME KIND OF AN IDLING ORDINANCE ALREADY, IN EFFECT, RELATED TO SOME INDUSTRIAL THAT WE HAD TO THINK OVER OFF OF ALL STAR AVENUE AND SOME AREAS OVER THERE THAT HAVE INDUSTRIAL. SO IDLING.

AND I THINK THERE IS SOME KIND OF AN ORDINANCE.

SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU GUYS TO FOLLOW UP WITH CHIEF SCHULTZ ON THAT RELATED TO ORDINANCES THERE AND THE CONCERNS THERE AND RUNNING OUT OF TIME.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, LIKE I SAID, COMMUNICATION.

I THINK YOU GUYS SHOULD CONTINUE TO HAVE CONSTANT POSITIVE COMMUNICATION WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER AND SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP INFLUENCE WHO THEY SELECT TO BRING IN THERE. AND THEN IN ADDITION TO FOLLOWING UP WITH SENATOR PATTERSON, ALSO FOLLOW UP WITH SURROUNDING NEIGHBORING LEGISLATORS.

SO IT'S NOT JUST MR. PATTERSON THAT'S HEARING IT, BUT YOUR VOICE IS BEING HEARD.

AND THOSE STORIES CAN BE TOLD BY OTHER LEGISLATORS THAT MAY WANT TO LOBBY OR REPRESENT SOME OF THOSE ISSUES IN THE NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS PRASHANTH AND I LIVE IN A COMMUNITY AROUND ROCKVILLE FOR THE LAST SEVEN YEARS.

MOST OF THE POINTS ARE ALREADY COVERED OR CONVEYED BY MY NEIGHBORS ALREADY, BUT I AM HERE TO STRONGLY OPPOSE HAVING THEIR HOUSES IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA WITH AROUND 2000 FAMILIES IN THAT AREA.

ONE OF THE KEY REASONS THAT I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT, WHICH IS ALREADY HIGHLIGHTED, YOU KNOW, ROCKVILLE IS THE ONLY ROAD FOR 2000 HOMES AND HAVING THEIR HOUSE ON ROCK HILL AND 423 IS CLEARLY ADDING A BOTTLENECK TO THAT AREA.

I HONOR THE PROPERTY OWNER RIGHTS, BUT I KINDLY REQUEST CITY TO CONSIDER THE IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY AND RESIDENTS.

FROM A HUMANITARIAN POINT OF VIEW, NOT FROM THE CITY CODE AND RULES PERSPECTIVE.

THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS MATTER? LET'S BE REAL, REAL QUICK.

WHILE I WAS. I REALLY HAD IT.

DOLORES WAS SO AWESOME. I REALLY HADN'T PLANNED ON SPEAKING TONIGHT, SO I WASN'T REALLY PREPARED WHILE I WAS SITTING THERE.

I JUST LOOKED UP WITH THE DIFFERENCE WAS BETWEEN DIESEL AND REGULAR FUEL.

AND JUST A LITTLE TIDBIT, JUST, YOU KNOW, MAYBE EVEN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE FOR YOU.

DIESEL FUEL IS SUPPOSED TO BE ACTUALLY SAFER, BUT THE PROBLEM IS IT SAYS THE BENEFIT IN TERMS OF CO TWO EMISSIONS IS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER AS COMBUSTION OF ONE LITER OF DIESEL FUEL RELEASES APPROXIMATELY 13% MORE CO2 THAN FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF GASOLINE FUEL.

AND IN ADDITION, FUMES FROM DIESEL EXHAUST DO NOT AFFECT THE LUNG FUNCTION OF PATIENTS WITH COPD.

HOWEVER, DIESEL EXHAUST IS A KEY SOURCE OF TRAFFIC RELATED AIR POLLUTION AND CAN CAUSE A RANGE OF PROBLEMS FROM IRRITATION TO PREMATURE DEATH. SO IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT I JUST HAVEN'T LOOK UP.

AND THE OTHER THING THAT WAS MENTIONED IS HOW YOU GET A HANDLE RUNOFF.

IF THERE'S SOME SORT OF LEAKAGE WITH THE TRUCKS AND THERE'S A CREEK THERE.

SO I WAS JUST WONDERING HOW THAT'S GOING TO BE ADDRESSED.

THANK YOU.

WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUBMITTED BLUE CARDS AND HAVE INDICATED THAT THEY DO NOT WISH TO SPEAK.

AND THEN WE HAVE A FEW THAT REMAIN THAT DID NOT INDICATE WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANTED TO SPEAK OR NOT.

SO IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SPEAKING ON THIS TOPIC, PLEASE COME FORWARD.

OTHERWISE, THESE INDIVIDUALS NAMES WILL BE READ INTO THE RECORD AFTER OUR MEETING.

[02:00:06]

SO, RICHARD, TO DO THAT AFTER THE MEETING, JUST.

YES. OKAY. THANK YOU.

LET'S GET IT ON THE RECORD. THERE'S ONE OTHER ITEM BEING THAT THERE'S NO OTHER FOLKS THAT WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS PARTICULAR TOPIC.

THERE IS ONE OTHER ITEM, DANIEL TASH, IF YOU ARE STILL HERE.

YES, YOU ARE. THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS DAN TOSH.

I'M A 20 YEAR RESIDENT OF FRISCO.

MY WIFE AND I LIVE AT 1791 PRAIRIE CREEK TRAIL.

I'M HERE TO COMMENT BRIEFLY ABOUT THE PROSPECT FOR A HUMANE PET STORE ORDINANCE HERE IN FRISCO AND TO OFFER A COUPLE OF RECENT FACTS THAT I HOPE YOU'LL CONSIDER DURING YOUR FUTURE DELIBERATIONS ON THIS TOPIC.

ON OCTOBER 24TH, THE CITY OF NEW BRAUNFELS ENACTED AN ORDINANCE THAT PROHIBITS THE SALE OF PUPPY MILL DOGS IN RETAIL STORES.

THERE ARE TWO ITEMS I FOUND INTERESTING ABOUT ABOUT NEW BRAUNFELS AND ACTION OF THIS ORDINANCE.

FIRST, NEW BRAUNFELS IS A SOLIDLY CONSERVATIVE CITY LOCATED IN TWO SOLIDLY CONSERVATIVE COUNTIES.

AND I SAY THIS BECAUSE SEVERAL OF THE OTHER CITIES THAT HAVE ENACTED HUMANE PET STORE ORDINANCES I THINK CAN FAIRLY BE CATEGORIZED AT THE BLUER END OF THE SPECTRUM.

SO THE FACT THAT A CITY LIKE NEW BRAUNFELS WOULD TAKE ACTION LIKE THIS INDICATES FAIRLY CLEARLY THAT HUMANE PET STORE REGULATION IS A TOPIC AND AN ISSUE THAT TRANSCENDS PARTIZAN POLITICS.

SECOND, AND I THOUGHT THIS WAS EVEN MORE NOTEWORTHY, IS THAT NEW BRAUNFELS HAS AN EXISTING BUSINESS THAT SELLS PUPPY MILL DOGS.

THAT BUSINESS NAMED PUPPY LAND WILL NOW HAVE TO DECIDE WHETHER TO MODIFY ITS BUSINESS PRACTICES TO COMPLY WITH THE NEW ORDINANCE OR WHETHER THEY'LL LEAVE THE CITY.

IN OTHER WORDS, THE NEW BRAUNFELS ORDINANCE WASN'T JUST SOME SAFE ACADEMIC POLICY STATEMENT THAT THE CITY COUNCIL SUPPORTED BECAUSE THEY KNEW IT WOULD HAVE NO IMPACT ON THEIR COMMUNITY.

RATHER, THE COUNCIL MEMBERS KNEW THAT THIS ORDINANCE WOULD OR MIGHT ADVERSELY AFFECT AN EXISTING BUSINESS.

THEY KNEW THEIR COMMUNITY HAD SKIN IN THE GAME AND THEY ENACTED THE ORDINANCE REGARDLESS.

NEW BRAUNFELS IS NOW THE 14TH TEXAS CITY TO HAVE ENACTED HUMANE PET STORE REGULATION OR A HUMANE PET STORE ORDINANCE.

COLLECTIVELY, THESE 14 CITIES HAVE 13 OPERATING PET STORES WITHIN THEIR BOUNDARIES.

I HOPE FRISCO CAN SOON FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE SET BY THESE OTHER CITIES.

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. ANYONE ELSE.

I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING CITIZEN INPUT.

THAT WILL MOVE US TO OUR REPORT.

SECTION ITEM SIX IS SORRY.

[7. Public Works and Engineering report on activities related to roadways, traffic control and transportation, stormwater drainage, water and wastewater, and solid waste collection.]

ITEM SEVEN PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING REPORT.

MAYOR. I'LL MAKE THIS FAST.

JUST A COUPLE OF SLIDES. WATER CONSUMPTION.

YOU CAN SEE THE RED LINE IS LAST YEAR BLUE.

BLUE BARS ARE THIS YEAR, WEEK OVER WEEK.

SO WE'VE HAD SOME GOOD RAIN IN OCTOBER.

WE'RE TRACKING THUS FAR THIS YEAR A LITTLE BIT OVER OUR PER PERSON USAGE THAN LAST YEAR.

AND THEN HERE, HERE'S WHERE WE ARE TRACKING WITH THE TAKE OR PAY CONTRACT.

THE BLUE ARROW INDICATES THAT WE'RE ABOUT ON PACE WITH LAST YEAR.

AND SO WE'VE GOT MORE RESIDENTS AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN COME OUT OF THIS DROUGHT AND CHANGE THAT TRAJECTORY A LITTLE BIT.

AND FINALLY, WE HAD A STREAM CLEANUP EVENT THAT INVOLVED THREE DIFFERENT DIVISIONS WITHIN ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, OUR STORMWATER DIVISION AND NATURAL RESOURCES OVER IN PARKS.

THERE WAS A NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS IS OVER £850 OF TRASH COLLECTED OUT OF OUR CREEKS AND JUST A LOT OF INTEREST FROM PEOPLE AND PARTICIPATING IN CLEANUP.

SO I THINK THIS IS SIGNIFICANT FROM A PUBLIC AWARENESS PERSPECTIVE ABOUT FLYWAY LITTER, ABOUT TYING UP YOUR TRASH BAGS IN YOUR CANS SO THAT WHEN WE GET THESE WINDY DAYS, THINGS DON'T BLOW EVERYWHERE.

ANYTHING THAT HITS THE GROUND IS LIKELY GOING TO WIND UP IN THE CREEK, IN THE LAKE.

AND IT'S JUST REALLY ABOUT GOOD STEWARDSHIP IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND I THINK IN OUR CITY.

AND THERE'S A LOT OF RESIDENTS AND KIDS IN PARTICULAR WHO ARE VERY INTERESTED IN HELPING TO KEEP OUR OUR CITY CLEAN.

AND SO I WANT TO GIVE A THANKS TO JULIANA MARIE FOR REALLY TAKING THE LEAD WITH THIS, AS WELL AS THE OTHER FOLKS IN PARKS AND AND PUBLIC WORKS.

CONCLUDE OUR REMARKS. I'LL JUST ONE QUICK COMMENT.

I GOT TO DRIVE SHOT AT CREEK DRIVE THE OTHER DAY AND SEE THE FINAL IMPROVEMENTS ON THE ROUNDABOUTS THAT WERE PUT IN THERE.

[02:05:05]

AND I KNOW THAT'S BEEN A ROAD SINCE IT'S SUCH A LONG, UNDIVIDED STREET THAT WE'VE HAD SOME SPEED ISSUES IN THE PAST.

AND THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A PRETTY EFFECTIVE MEASURE, JUST KIND OF DRIVING IT AND OBSERVING IT.

IS THAT SOMETHING YOU THINK WE'LL LOOK AT DOING ON SOME OTHER ROADS THAT WE LOOKED AT IN THE PAST, LIKE PLANTATION DRIVE, ANITA OR JEREMY? THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. YES.

WE'VE GOT SOME CRITERIA SET UP FOR THAT AND WE'LL BE APPLYING THAT IN OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE HAVE SOME IMMEDIATELY NEXT, BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT IT AS A POTENTIAL TRAFFIC.

THAT WAS A GREAT SOLUTION TO THAT.

COUNCIL WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? ALL RIGHT. I'LL MOVE US TO ITEM EIGHT, WHICH IS OUR LIBRARY REPORT.

[8. Library Report on monthly statistics and activities.]

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

YOU HAVE OUR REPORT IN FRONT OF YOU.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO ASK WHAT'S THE LATEST DATE ON THE LIBRARY? CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES.

THERE'S STILL A LOT OF DETAILS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.

WE'RE CURRENTLY LOOKING AT FEBRUARY 4TH FOR AN OPENING DATE AND AT DECEMBER 9TH FOR CLOSING THE LIBRARY IN THIS LOCATION SO THAT WE HAVE THE TIME TO MOVE THE COLLECTION, GET THE STAFF TRAINED.

THERE WILL STILL BE SOME CONSTRUCTION AND INSTALLATIONS GOING ON DURING THAT TIME, BUT I THINK WE'VE FIGURED OUT WAYS TO WORK AROUND THAT.

GOTTEN GREAT RECEPTION FROM REXY, TOO, BY THE WAY.

OH, GREAT. SHE'S HAPPILY WAITING FOR THE CROWDS TO COME AND ADORE HER.

QUESTIONS. COMMENTS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

NOW TO MOVE US TO ITEM NINE, WHICH IS OUR PARKS AND REC REPORT.

[9. Parks & Recreation report on activities related to arts, culture, events, park development and operations, natural resources, and recreation services.]

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

I HAVE JUST A FEW SLIDES THAT I WANTED TO FLIP THROUGH FOR YOU.

OF COURSE, WE'RE VERY EXCITED, ALTHOUGH I ALWAYS FEEL AFTER I COME AFTER SHELLY, I NEED TO USE AN INSIDE VOICE BECAUSE I GET REALLY EXCITED.

WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE ADVENTURE THAT DOES AWAIT AT A GRAND PARK WITH BIG BLUESTEM TRAIL.

AND SO NOVEMBER 19TH IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING TOWARDS SINCE MARCH AND WE'RE EXTREMELY HAPPY TO INVITE EVERYBODY OUT.

IF YOU HAVE NOT REGISTERED FOR THE PREVIEW EVENT YET, THERE ARE STILL 20 SPACES AVAILABLE.

SO WE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO JUMP ONLINE AND TAKE THOSE LAST 20 SPACES AS EVERY MONTH WE'D LIKE TO PUT FORWARD.

NOT NOT JUST THAT WE'RE WORKING ON NEW PROJECTS, WHICH WE ARE.

WE KNOW HIKE AND BIKE TRAIL IS A TOP PRIORITY FOR THE COUNCIL, SO WE'RE ALWAYS HAPPY TO BRING FORWARD DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT WE'RE DOING TO CONNECT THE CITY BETTER.

BUT WE'RE ALSO DOING EXCITING THINGS LIKE RELEASING FISH.

SO WE DID RECENTLY RELEASE IN CONJUNCTION WITH TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE, SOME CARP INTO WARREN PARK BY A LAKE SO THAT THEY CAN HELP US KEEP THE VEGETATION DOWN, WHICH MEANS THERE WILL BE MORE FISH TO FISH FOR, WHICH IS EXCITING SURF DOG REFRESH.

SO AGAIN, IN ADDITION TO BUILDING NEW THINGS, WE LOVE TO REINVEST IN WHAT WE HAVE.

SURF DOG WAS PUT IN 2018 AND HAD SOME RUST.

SO THE ARTIST WHO IS PHENOMENAL, BY THE WAY, CAME BACK OUT AND DID SOME TOUCH UPS FOR US.

AND THEN AS PAUL JUST ALLUDED TO, WE HAVE SUCH A GOOD PARTNERSHIP GOING ACROSS DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE CITY AND WE WERE REALLY EXCITED AND REALLY PROUD TO HAVE THAT MUCH TRASH PICKED UP IN THE STREAMS. SO WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU THAT I DIDN'T THINK OF MENTIONING EARLIER.

SO IF YOU WANT TO WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING TO GIVE US AN UPDATE, TOTALLY FINE.

I WON'T PUT YOU ON THE SPOT.

WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT MEDIANS IN A WHILE.

ABOUT WE HAVE NOT. IT CAME UP ON HALLOWEEN AT A BLOCK PARTY I WAS AT.

SOME NEIGHBORS, BROUGHT FRIENDS OVER FROM THE EAST SIDE AND THEY WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THEY VIEWED THE PARKS AND MEDIANS AND SOME OTHER STUFF WASN'T EQUAL ON THE EAST SIDE TO WHAT WE HAVE ON THE WEST SIDE.

SO BRINGING MY INNER WILL CELL TO COUNCIL, I THOUGHT I'D ASK YOU ABOUT THAT SINCE YOU OFFERED IN LIGHT OF OF MOVING THE MEETING FORWARD.

I DO HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT I CAN PROVIDE.

WE HAVE A MEDIUM PLAN THAT WE'VE DEVELOPED, IF YOU RECALL, AND I WILL JUST SAY THIS WHEN WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT MEDIANS FROM TIME TO TIME, ONE OF THE DEFICITS WE REALLY HAVE IS THAT ABOUT 50% OF OUR MEDIANS ARE NOT IRRIGATED, WHICH MAKES IT VERY CHALLENGING FOR WHAT WE CAN DO.

SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE ENGINEERING SO THAT AS WE'RE DOING REHABS OR REINVESTMENTS AND ROADS, WE ARE GOING BACK AND DOING THE MEETINGS, EXCUSE ME, DOING THE MEDIANS AT THE SAME TIME SO THAT WE'RE NOT GOING IN AND TEARING SOMETHING UP TO DO A MEDIAN AND THEN HAVING PAUL'S TEAM COME IN AND TEAR UP A ROAD TO REDO A ROAD. BUT I CAN PREPARE SOME INFORMATION FOR NEXT TIME.

[02:10:01]

OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THAT WILL MOVE US TO ITEM TEN, WHICH IS OUR COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS IN THE UPDATES COUNCIL.

[10. 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.]

IT IS NOT LISTED ON HERE, BUT CAN I GET AN UPDATE ABOUT THE ANIMAL ADVISORY? NO ONE'S TELLING ME NO. SO WHAT WAS THE QUESTION? SHE GAVE AN UPDATE ON ANIMAL ADVISORY.

OF COURSE YOU CAN. WE HAD THE VERY FIRST MEETING OF THE ANIMAL ADVISORY BOARD THIS PAST WEEK, SO WE STARTED TO OUTLINE THE PRIORITIES OF WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO START FOCUSING ON AND START BRAINSTORMING ON IDEAS.

AND WE ELECTED THE OFFICERS, I GUESS, OF THE CHAIR.

SO WE WILL BE MEETING AGAIN ONCE MORE TIME BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR TO DISCUSS HOW TO IMPLEMENT THOSE PRIORITIES IN 2023.

AND JUST WANTED TO SAY A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR POLICE CHIEF AND OUR ASSISTANT CHIEF.

I'M GOING TO BUTCHER THIS MARTHA LEGEND FOR HELPING US AS WELL AS ANIMAL SERVICES AND THE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE'LL HAVE WITH THEM.

HERE'S THE CHAIR, CHRIS FIELDS VICE CHAIR WILL BE NICOLE KURLANSKY AND SECRETARY LISA ALLISON.

THANK YOU. GIVE YOU AN UPDATE.

WE'VE GOT VETERANS DAY COMING UP.

THE VFW SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS ARE STILL BEING ACCEPTED BY THE FRISCO VFW.

YOU CAN GO TO PRESCOTT VFW DOT ORG.

I GAVE OUT ABOUT 12,000 A YEAR, SO NO SMALL AMOUNT.

SO IT'S WORTH LOOKING INTO.

THE AMERICAN LEGION VETERANS DAY EVENT WILL BE ON NOVEMBER 11TH AT 11 A.M.

AT THE VETERANS MEMORIAL AT COMMONS PARK.

THAT SHOULD BE A , REALLY COOL EVENT.

AND OF COURSE, THAT'S NOT JUST FOR VETERANS.

MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

THAT WILL TAKE US TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA.

ITEM 27 IS A PUBLIC HEARING A REQUEST TO CONSIDER POSSIBLE AMENDMENTS TO ZONING ORDINANCE SUBSECTION 6.06.0 5C3 FOR CITY COUNCIL VOTE REQUIRED FOR

[27. Public Hearing: A request to consider possible amendments to Zoning Ordinance Subsection 6.06.05(C), Three-Fourths City Council Vote Required for Protested Amendments to amend the documented protest filing date, and to consider to direct Staff to prepare an Ordinance of the same. Zoning Case No. ZA22-0004. Applicant: City of Frisco. (Development Services/JH)]

PROTESTED AMENDMENTS TO AMEND THE DOCUMENT, PROTEST, FILING DATE, AND TO CONSIDER TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE OF THE SAME ZONE IN CASE NUMBER ZA220004 APPLICANT CITY OF FRISCO.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. AT THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, STAFF IS PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIREMENT SPECIFYING WHEN A PETITION IS TO BE FILED WITH THE CITY.

SO CURRENTLY THE ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIRES ALL OF THOSE PETITIONS TO BE FILED AT LEAST SEVEN CALENDAR DAYS PRIOR TO THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING.

THE PROPOSAL BEFORE YOU ALL TONIGHT REDUCES THAT FROM SEVEN CALENDAR DAYS TO ONE DAY.

SO THE NEW DATE WOULD BE NOON THE MONDAY BEFORE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SO THE INTENDED OUTCOME IS TO GIVE THE PUBLIC MORE TIME AND PREPARING AND SUBMITTING THESE PETITIONS WHILE STILL GIVING STAFF ADEQUATE TIME TO EVALUATE THOSE PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC HEARING THE NEXT NIGHT.

THIS ITEM IS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL SAYS A PUBLIC HEARING MOVED TO OPEN PUBLIC HEARING MOTION BY JOHN SECOND BY BRIAN ON FAVOR MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON THE SIDE OF UNMOVED CLOSE? MOTION BY BILL SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

COUNCIL. THIS LOOKS PRETTY ADMINISTRATIVE IN NATURE AND MAKES SENSE.

BUT IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, AS LONG AS YOU GUYS ARE THINKING THAT THAT'S ENOUGH TIME FOR YOU.

IT IS, YES.

THANK YOU. OH, DO PROVIDE THEM.

GO AHEAD. SORRY. JUST JUST TO CLARIFY, THEY INTENDED TO REEMPHASIZE, JUST GIVEN ALL THE CITIZEN INPUT WE HAVE HAD TONIGHT, THAT THIS IS INTENDED TO GIVE THE PUBLIC MORE TIME TO PREPARE AND SUBMIT A PETITION.

THAT IS CORRECT.

SO WE'RE NOW THEY HAVE TO DO IT ALMOST A WEEK AHEAD OF TIME NOW.

IT GIVES THEM ALMOST THAT WHOLE EXTRA WAIT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT REQUESTING IT UNTIL THE DAY BEFORE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THANK YOU. APPROVAL APPROVED OUR STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE.

[02:15:07]

SECOND. BILL SECOND BY ANGELA? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

AND PASS 6-0 THAT WILL TAKE US TO ITEM 28, WHICH IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUEST TO REPEAL ORDINANCE NUMBER 170316 AND 2020

[28. Public Hearing: A request to repeal Ordinance Nos. 17-03-16 and 2020-04-15 consisting of 400.3± acres on the northwest and southwest corners of Legacy Drive and Stonebrook Parkway (“Property”), to amend the Zoning Ordinance (Ordinance No. 11-04-09, as amended), to rezone the Property as Planned Development-245-Single Family-10/Single Family-8.5/Single Family-7/Patio Home, Planned Development-245-Office-1, and Office-1, and to consider to direct Staff to prepare Ordinances of the same. Zoned Planned Development-245-Single Family-10/Single Family-8.5/Single Family-7/Patio Home and Planned Development-245-Office-1 with a Specific Use Permit for a Licensed Child Care Center (S-266). Neighborhood #39 and #41. Zoning Case No. Z22-0015. Applicant: Triangle Engineering, LLC. (Development Services/JH)]

104-15, CONSISTING OF 400.3 ACRES IN THE NORTHWEST AND SOUTHWEST CORNERS OF LEGACY DRIVE AND STONY BROOK TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE NUMBER 110409 AS AMENDED TO REZONE THE PROPERTIES PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO 45.

SINGLE FAMILY TEN SINGLE FAMILY 8.5 SINGLE FAMILY SEVEN.

PATIO HOME PLAN DEVELOPMENT TO 45.

OFFICE ONE AND OFFICE ONE.

AND TO CONSIDER TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE OF THE SAME ZONE PLAN DEVELOPMENT TO 45.

SINGLE FAMILY TEN SINGLE FAMILY 8.5 SINGLE FAMILY SEVEN PATIO HOME AND PLAN DEVELOPMENT TO 45 OFFICE ONE WITH THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A LICENSED CHILD CARE CENTER NEIGHBORHOOD NUMBER 39 AND 41 ZONING CASE NUMBER Z2200155 APPLICANT TRIANGLE ENGINEERING, LLC.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. SO FOR THE PROPERTY SHOWN HERE IN RED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF LEGACY AND STONY BROOK, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO REZONE THE PROPERTY TO OFFICE ONE. THE PROPERTY IS ZONED TODAY TO ALLOW SINGLE FAMILY SEVEN LOTS.

THERE'S ALSO A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT ON THE PROPERTY TO ALLOW A LICENSE CHILD CARE CENTER.

HOWEVER, TO DATE, NEITHER SINGLE FAMILY NOR THE LICENSED CHILD CARE CENTER HAVE DEVELOPED.

THEREFORE, THE APPLICANT HAS PROPOSED THE REQUEST TO REZONE TO OFFICE.

ONE STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THIS REQUEST FOR A FEW DIFFERENT REASONS.

THE OFFICE ONE DISTRICT DOES LIMIT THE BUILDING HEIGHT TO A MAXIMUM OF TWO STOREYS 40 FEET.

IT'S ALSO THE PREFERENCE FOR ZONING THAT WOULD PERMIT USES THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE NEXT TO RESIDENTIAL AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE UNIQUE LOCATION OF THIS INTERSECTION.

WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS AGAIN, THIS IS THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF LEGACY AND STONY BROOK.

ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER YOU HAVE FUTURE GRAND PARK.

SO THE DESIRE IS TO HAVE COMPLEMENTARY USES ON THIS CORNER INSTEAD OF USES LIKE A CONVENIENCE STORE WITH GAS PUMPS, FOR EXAMPLE.

I WILL ALSO POINT OUT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THIS PROPERTY, THERE IS A MAJOR AND BIKE TRAIL THAT IS SHOWN.

SO USE IS PERMITTED IN THE OFFICE.

ONE DISTRICT MEANING WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS USES THAT ARE GENERALLY COMPATIBLE WITH ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL LOW INTENSITY OFFICE USES FOR EXAMPLE.

SO THOSE USES COMBINED WITH THE CITY'S DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, WILL LIKELY LEAD TO A DEVELOPMENT THAT TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION THE TRAIL DEVELOPING A VERY WELL DONE PROPOSED OFFICE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE ADJACENT DEVELOPMENT.

PRIOR TO SUBMITTING THIS REQUEST, THE APPLICANT DID MEET WITH THE ADJACENT HOAS.

THERE WERE A HANDFUL OF RESIDENTS THAT CAME OUT TO THAT MEETING, ASKED GENERAL QUESTIONS.

AT THE END OF THE MEETING.

THEY WERE ALL IN GENERAL SUPPORT OF THIS REQUEST.

TO DATE, STAFF HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY OPPOSITION.

THIS ITEM IS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL THIS EVENING AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING AND PUBLIC HEARING MOTION BY JOHN TAKEN BY ANGELA ON FAVOR AND PASSES.

SIX ZERO PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? NONE MOVED CLOSE SECOND SECOND BY ANGELA ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSE.

COUNCIL WHAT QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE? [INAUDIBLE].

TO PROVIDE THEM 28 DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE.

BY BILL SECOND. SECOND BY ANGELINA.

ALL IN FAVOR. AYE MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. ITEM 29 CONSIDER AN ACT UPON THE CANCELLATION OF THE SECOND CITY COUNCIL MEETING IN DECEMBER AND SETTING THE DATES FOR THE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION.

[29. Consider and act upon the cancellation of the second City Council Meeting in December and the setting of the dates for the City Council Winter Work Session. (CSO/KM)]

AND JUST FOR THOSE WATCHING, THIS HAS BECOME CUSTOMARY IN RECENT YEARS THAT WE DO CANCEL THAT SECOND MEETING.

USUALLY, CITY BUSINESS IS LIGHT AND IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR STAFF TO GET A BREAK FROM THEIR CITY COUNCIL, BUT ALSO ALL THE WORK THAT GOES INTO PREPARING THESE AGENDAS.

SO IN THE PACKET THERE WERE TWO DATES RECOMMENDED FOR POSSIBLE WORK SESSION, THE THURSDAY THE 19TH, STARTING AT NOON AND ALL DAY FRIDAY THE 20TH OR THE FOLLOWING WEEK, WHICH IS THURSDAY THE 26TH, STARTING AT NOON OR IN ALL DAY FRIDAY, IS THERE IF EVERYONE KIND OF LOOK AT THEIR CALENDARS AND WE CAN SEE IF THERE'S ANY CONSENSUS ON THOSE TWO.

MAYOR I WOULD HAVE A CHALLENGE WITH THE 20TH.

THAT EVENING IS OUR ANNUAL DR.

MARTIN LUTHER KING SCHOLARSHIP GALA ON THAT EVENING.

AND SO I WON'T BE AVAILABLE ON THE FRIDAY THE 20TH IS THE 26TH AND THE 27TH.

LOOK FOR EVERYONE. I WILL BE A MAYBE ON EITHER DAY JUST BECAUSE I WILL BE STARTING A NEW JOB SOON.

[02:20:06]

JANUARY 27TH IS THAT WE'RE TALKING.

THAT'S THE AWARDS GALA FOR CHAMBER OF CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

SO NONE OF US WOULD BE THERE THAT NIGHT.
