PROCLAMATIONS

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

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

I'M SHANNON COATES, DIRECTOR OF PLAY FRISCO.

I JUST HAVE TO THROW IN THERE.

I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE LIBRARY.

I SENT SHELLY AN EMAIL TODAY AND TOLD HER HOW MUCH I MISS REAL BOOKS.

I LOVE THE DIGITAL, BUT I REALLY LOVE HAVING A REAL BOOK.

SO OF COURSE WE HOPE THAT YOU HAD SOME TIME TO REST AND PLAY AND THAT YOU HAVE PLAYED TODAY BECAUSE THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE CAN DO.

WE CONTINUE TO PLAN FOR PLAY AS WE MOVE AHEAD, SO WE HAVE OUR ANNUAL HIGH TOPS AND HIGH HEELS AS WELL AS OUR DADDY DAUGHTER DANCE.

SO IF YOU HAVE NOT PURCHASED TICKETS YET FOR A DADDY DAUGHTER, THEY DO SELL OUT THE HIGH TOPS AND HIGH HEELS.

I FOUND OUT TODAY HAS SOLD OUT.

SO IT SHOULD BE A SHOULD BE A FUN TIME FOR BOTH.

IN ADDITION TO THE PROGRAMS AND EVENTS THAT WE DO, WE ARE ALSO WORKING TO MAKE CONNECTIONS ACROSS FRISCO, WHICH I KNOW IS A TOP PRIORITY.

SO WE HAVE THE STARWOOD TRAIL EXTENSION AND THE MONARCH HIKING BIKE TRAIL EXTENSION, WHICH ARE BOTH GOING TO BE CRITICAL FOR US TO CONTINUE TO GET YOU ACROSS FRISCO SAFELY, EITHER WALKING OR ON A BICYCLE.

WE HAVE A NEW LOOK OVER AT THE DISCOVERY CENTER.

SO IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN BY IN A WHILE, YOU'LL NOTICE OUR NEW PAINT SCHEME.

WE NEEDED TO FRESHEN THINGS UP A LITTLE BIT WITH THAT BEAUTIFUL LIBRARY COMING RIGHT NEXT DOOR.

AND SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COMPLEMENTED, BUT ALSO SHOWED PEOPLE THAT THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE NEXT DOOR TO EXPLORE AS WELL.

AND THEN WE HAVE OUR FIRST EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR IN THE DEPARTMENT.

THIS IS A PROGRAM THAT THE STAFF HAVE PUT TOGETHER THEMSELVES, WHERE THEY HAVE THEY NOMINATE EACH OTHER THROUGHOUT THE YEAR FOR EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH AND THEN THEY CHOSE THEIR FIRST EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR.

SO ALL STAFF DRIVEN BOTTOM UP, WHICH I THINK IS FANTASTIC.

IT'S LIDIA ACUNA, RECREATION COORDINATOR.

SHE DOES AN AMAZING JOB.

SHE'S ALSO THE NEW CHAIR OF OUR PEP COMMITTEE SO THAT WE CAN KEEP PEOPLE EXCITED TO PLAY.

AND WITH THAT, I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

ALL RIGHT. SO WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU.

I HAD A BUSY MONTH FOR PROGRAMING.

[00:35:02]

WE DID ALL WENT OFF VERY WELL.

WE GOT LOTS OF GREAT COMPLIMENTS AS ALWAYS.

SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

LET'S MOVE US TO ITEM NINE, WHICH IS PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING.

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

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

PAUL KNIPPEL, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING SERVICES.

SO I JUST WANTED TO, AS WE'VE DONE FOR THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE YEARS AT THIS TIME, THE FIRST MEETING IN JANUARY, WE PRESENTED COUNCIL WITH THE YEAR END REPORT, WHICH CAPTURES HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE PRIOR YEAR AND THEN ALSO A STRATEGIC PLAN FOR OUR UPCOMING YEAR.

AND IT'S A BIG DOCUMENT AND WE PUT IT IN THE AGENDA AND YOU CAN LOOK THROUGH THAT.

IT'LL BE POSTED ONLINE.

I WANT TO THANK JOYCE WARREN FOR HELPING PUT THAT TOGETHER AND ALL THE STAFF THAT MADE CONTRIBUTIONS.

BUT THIS IS THE COVER AND THE TABLE OF CONTENTS THAT GOES IN WITH THAT.

AND I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL 31 PAGES OF IT.

IT'S MOSTLY PICTURES, SO IT'S EASY TO READ.

BUT AS WE FINISH THIS DOCUMENT UP IN DECEMBER, WE ALSO HIRED A NEW PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO.

SO I'LL GO BACK TO MY ORIGINAL JOB HERE, WHICH WAS THE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING SERVICES, AND GABE JOHNSON WILL TAKE OVER AS DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.

AND I'VE KNOWN GABE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

HE HAS ALWAYS EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN COMING TO WORK FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO, AND HE'S REALLY WANTED TO DO THAT.

AND NOW THAT HE'S HERE, I'M VERY CONFIDENT HE'S GOING TO BE AN EXCELLENT TEAM MEMBER AND VERY GOOD FOR THE STAFF OVER THERE IN PUBLIC WORKS.

SO I'M EXCITED THAT GABE'S HERE.

AND MR. JOHNSON. WELCOME.

SO YOU'LL BE SEEING HIM NEXT MONTH? HE'LL. HE'LL BE DOING A PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, AND THEN I'LL BE DOING AN ENGINEERING REPORT SEPARATELY.

SO. IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, WE'RE HERE TO ANSWER THEM.

OTHERWISE. THAT'S OUR REPORT.

WELL, THANK YOU FOR THE DETAILED REPORT.

AND I WAS JUST MESMERIZED LOOKING AT JUST HOW BIG OF A PROJECT THE COTTONWOOD CREEK PROJECT WAS.

I KNOW THAT TOOK A LONG TIME, BUT THE FINAL RESULT, IN FACT, I WAS OUT THERE WALKING A WEEK OR TWO AGO.

IT'S IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

AND THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD FROM THAT IS IT'S ALMOST A SHAME THE TRAIL DOESN'T KIND OF CONTINUE DOWN INTO THAT NEW EMBANKMENT AREA, KIND OF TOWARDS TEAL.

AND I KNOW BILL'S LOOKED AT IT IN THE PAST AS FAR AS SEEING IF THERE'S ANY WAY TO GET AN UNDERPASS UNDER TEAL.

AND I JUST THINK WE'VE ALWAYS DETERMINED IT'S NOT TALL ENOUGH THERE TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION.

IS THAT THE LAST TIME I TALKED TO JASON BRAUTIGAN AGAIN? IT WASN'T A NO, BUT IT WASN'T A YES.

SO UNLESS PAUL IS WILLING TO SAY NO TONIGHT, I'M GOING TO LEAVE IT WITH.

WE'LL SEE. SO I GUESS THAT'S MAYBE JUST ONE FOLLOW UP IS JUST WITH HOW THAT'S TURNED OUT.

I'D LOVE FOR US TO EXPLORE MAYBE AGAIN, IF THAT'S A POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION.

BUT WITH YOUR BEEN A BUSY YEAR, I MEAN, LOOKING AT ALL THE PICTURES, ALL THE GROWTH HAPPENING HERE AND IT'S NOT SLOWING DOWN ANY TIME SOON, SO APPRECIATE THE TEAM'S HARD WORK.

AND GABE, WELCOME.

GET READY. BUCKLE UP.

THANK YOU, COUNSEL.

WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE? I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT PAUL, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU WERE DOING DOUBLE DUTY FOR A LITTLE BIT.

AND SO I WOULD IMAGINE THAT NOW WITH BRINGING ON GABE, YOU CAN, AS YOU MENTIONED, GO TO YOUR YOUR ROLE OF ENGINEERING SERVICES.

SO I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT WORK.

SOMETIMES I KNOW SOMETIMES WHEN YOU TAKE ON THE DOUBLE LOAD, PEOPLE DON'T ALWAYS REALIZE THAT YOU'VE DONE THAT.

AND SO JUST THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE.

THE WORK HERE IN YOUR REPORT IS NOT ALWAYS THE SEXY STUFF THAT COMES UP FRONT, BUT IT'S THE STUFF THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY FOR A GROWING CITY.

SO THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. TAKE US TO ITEM TEN, WHICH IS COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS.

[10.

MOTION BY JOHN, SECOND BY ANGELIA.

ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE. MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO, THAT MOVE US TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA.

[30. Public Hearing: A request to rescind a Specific Use Permit (S-266) for a Licensed Child Care Center on 5.6± acres on the southwest corner of Legacy Drive and Stonebrook Parkway. Zoned Office-1 with a Specific Use Permit for a Licensed Child-Care Center, and to consider to direct Staff to prepare an Ordinance of the same. Zoned Office-1 with a Specific Use Permit for a Licensed Child-Care Center. Neighborhood #39. Zoning Case No. SUP22-0007. Applicant: City of Frisco. (Development Services/JH)]

ITEM 30 IS A PUBLIC HEARING A REQUEST TO RESCIND A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT S266 FOR A LICENSED CHILD CARE CENTER ON 5.6 ACRES IN THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF LEGACY DRIVE AND STONE BROOK PARKWAY.

ZONED OFFICE ONE WITH A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A LICENSED CHILD CARE AND TO CONSIDER TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE OF THE SAME.

[00:40:07]

ZONED OFFICE ONE WITH A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

NEIGHBORHOOD NUMBER 39 ZONING CASE NUMBER SUP 22-0007 APPLICANT CITY OF FRISCO.

MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL, JOHN LETTELLEIR, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

ON THIS STRAIGHTFORWARD CASE.

THIS THE SUP WAS APPROVED BACK IN 2017 FOR A SPECIFIC DAY CARE USER.

THEY HAVE THEY DID NOT CLOSE ON THE PROPERTY SO THIS SUP HAS BEEN SITTING OUT THERE.

SO PART OF OUR POLICY IS IF AN SUP HASN'T BEEN EXECUTED, GOING BACK AND GOING THROUGH THE RESCINDION OF THE SUP, WHICH YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH A PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS.

CITY COUNCIL DID APPROVE AN ORDINANCE TAKING THIS PROPERTY TO OFFICE ONE AT YOUR DECEMBER 6TH MEETING LAST MONTH.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THIS BY A VOTE OF 5 TO 0 TO RESCIND THE SUP.

ALL RIGHT. JUST SOME ZONING CLEANUP WORK.

COUNCIL. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING MOVED TO OPEN PUBLIC HEARING.

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

MOTION PASSES, SIX ZERO.

PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN. IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, MOVE TO CLOSE.

MOTION BY BILL TO CLOSE.

SECOND. SECOND BY JOHN ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE. PASSES SIX ZERO, PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED AND COUNCIL.

THIS IS ADMINISTRATIVE CLEANUP.

IF THERE'S NO QUESTIONS, I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

I JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. JOHN.

DO YOU EXPECT THIS TO COME BACK BEFORE US TO REENGAGE THE SAME FOR THE SAME OR DO YOU EXPECT THEM TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE OFFICE PERMIT? WELL, BASED ON PAST CONVERSATIONS, MOVE FORWARD WITH THE OFFICE.

THE QUESTIONS ARE LIKE PROMOTION TO PROVIDE THEM 30 INDIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE.

MOTION BY BILL. SECOND.

SECOND BY ANGELIA. ALL IN FAVOR.

MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

TAKE A SIGN OF 31. A PUBLIC HEARING REQUEST TO REPEAL ORDINANCE NUMBER 090417, CONSISTING OF 36.2 ACRES ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF DALLAS PARKWAY AND WARREN

[31. Public Hearing: A request to repeal Ordinance No. 09-04-17 consisting of 36.2± acres on the southeast corner of Dallas Parkway and Warren Parkway (“Property”), to amend the Zoning Ordinance (Ordinance No. 11-04-09, as amended), to rezone the Property as Planned Development-Office-2/Retail/Residential, and to consider to direct Staff to prepare an Ordinance of the same. Zoned Planned Development-196-Mixed Use. Neighborhood #35. Zoning Case No. Z22-0017. Applicant: City of Frisco. (Development Services/JH)]

PARKWAY. TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE NUMBER 110409 AS AMENDED TO REZONE THE PROPERTY AS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OFFICE TO RETAIL RESIDENTIAL AND TO CONSIDER TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE OF THE SAME.

ZONE PLAN DEVELOPMENT 196, MIXED USE, NEIGHBORHOOD NUMBER 35 ZONING CASE NUMBER Z22-0017 APPLICANT CITY OF FRISCO.

YES. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

SO WHAT'S OUTLINED IN YELLOW IS THE OVERALL TRACK OF PD 196.

SO THE AREA HIGHLIGHTED IN RED IS THE LAST VACANT TRACK ON THIS PROPERTY.

IT'S KNOWN AS TRACT ONE, TRACT FIVE IN THE CURRENT PLAN DEVELOPMENT, THIS IS A PROMINENT LOCATION.

IT'S RIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION OF WARREN PARKWAY AND THE DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY, WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT ON THIS.

THE REASON THIS IS BACK BEFORE YOU AS A ZONING CASE IS THEY WANT TO DO SOMETHING, SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAT'S IN THE ZONING EXHIBIT.

AND SO WHEN YOU DO SOMETHING, IT'S A MAJOR AMENDMENT.

THEN YOU HAVE TO OPEN UP THE ENTIRE PD.

SO FROM OPENING UP THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT TO ADDRESS THE ZONING ON THIS PARTICULAR TRACTS OF ONE AND SIX, THERE'S POSITIVE CHANGES TO THIS.

THIS PD WAS APPROVED BEFORE CITY COUNCIL ADOPTED ITS POLICY REGARDING DENSITY, OPEN SPACE AND PHASING OF DEVELOPMENT.

SO CURRENTLY 800 UNITS CAN BE DEVELOPED ON THIS PROPERTY.

THIS PD WILL CAP IT AT 500, SO ABOUT 37% REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF UNITS ON THE PROPERTY TO THE OPEN SPACE.

THE OPEN SPACE IS ALREADY PROVIDED WHICH EXCEEDS THE 10%.

IT'S AROUND 20% TODAY.

THERE ARE THE PHASING.

THERE'S NO PHASE IN REQUIREMENTS, BUT WITHIN THIS APPROVAL, IF YOU ACT ON IT TONIGHT, THE 500 UNITS WOULD NOT BE READY FOR OCCUPANCY UNLESS THEY'VE TOPPED OUT OR COMPLETED THEIR FIRST OFFICE BUILDINGS.

TWO OFFICE BUILDINGS HAVE SHOWN.

SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS THEY HAVE TO EITHER TOP OUT AT 15 STOREYS.

THAT CAN INCLUDE PODIUM PARKING, BUT THE MINIMUM OFFICE SPACE IS 200,000 SQUARE FEET.

THAT NEEDS TO BE MET BEFORE ANY OF THE MULTIFAMILY CAN BE OCCUPIED.

THEY DID SIGN THE VOLUNTARY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT WAS ON THE AGENDA ON ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

EARLIER PLANNING, THE ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL UNANIMOUSLY.

COUNCIL. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

A PUBLIC HEARING, SECOND BY JOHN, SECOND BY BILL.

ALL IN FAVOR. AYE.

MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? TOMMY MANN, 500 WINSTEAD BUILDING REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT.

JUST WANT TO THANK JOHN AND HIS STAFF FOR WORKING WITH US.

WE'RE OBVIOUSLY IN AGREEMENT WITH THE P AND Z RECOMMENDATION.

THE WHOLE DEVELOPMENT TEAM IS HERE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.

THANKS. ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.

SEEING THEM MOVE TO CLOSE.

MOTION BY BILL, SECOND BY ANGELIA, ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE. MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

[00:45:01]

COUNCIL, WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? YES, I HAVE A COUPLE.

SO THE AREA THAT'S, I GUESS JUST BEING KIND OF FRANK, THE INTERACTION WITH THE WATER LEFT ME UNDERWHELMED.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE PUTTING IN A STREET THERE, BUT THERE'S THE APARTMENTS, THE MULTIFAMILY THAT'S ACROSS.

THERE'S NO COMMERCIAL REQUIREMENT ON THAT FIRST FLOOR.

CAN YOU DESCRIBE? THERE IS SO THERE'S A THERE'S A PORTION.

IT'S ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE MULTIFAMILY BUILDING.

WE'RE REALLY HARD TO READ BECAUSE THEY'RE SO DETAILED.

SO LET ME SEE IF YOU GOT SOME BETTER ME.

SO AT ONE THING, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT ON THE SOUTH SIDE, THERE ARE ACTUALLY DOING PAVERS OF SOME SORT.

SO IT'S JUST NOT A CONCRETE DRIVE WHICH IS REFLECTIVE UP HERE AND GO BACK TO.

SO JUST IN THIS SPACE, SETTING IT UP AS POSSIBLE FLEX SPACE THAT YOU COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE A RESTAURANT.

IT'S KIND OF TUCKED BACK IN HERE.

SO THIS WAS A LITTLE BIT OF GIVE AND TAKE AS WE WERE NEGOTIATING WITH THE APPLICANT ON THIS.

OKAY. HOW WAS IT? DID WE HAVE A SITE PLAN BEFORE? AS FAR AS HOW THE ADJACENCIES TO THE WATER WAS GOING TO BE DESIGNED BEFORE? WE DID. BUT IT WASN'T AS DETAILED AS WHAT WE HAVE ON HERE.

SO ONE THING THAT WE WORKED OUT IS THERE ON THE SOUTH SIDE, THIS WOULD BE BASICALLY EMERGENCY ONLY AND NOT HAVE A THROUGH TRAFFIC OR TRYING TO BECAUSE THE CHALLENGE HERE OF BRINGING THE BUILDING UP TO THE WATER, YOU'VE GOT TO PROVIDE FOR EMERGENCY ACCESS FOR FAR COVERAGE.

SO THIS PROVIDES FOR IT.

IT'S DECORATIVE, BUT GENERALLY IT'S CLOSED.

SO IT'S OPEN TO.

COMING TO THE WHOEVER USES THIS AREA.

SO IT'S DESIGNED TO BE MORE OF A PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY.

YES. BOARDWALK.

AND THE OTHER THING I DID NOT MENTION, THEY'RE EXTENDING THE SIDEWALK OVER TO THE DALLAS PARKWAY.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TALK TO [INAUDIBLE] WHICH OWNS THE WATERWAY, ABOUT MAYBE EXTENDING THAT SIDEWALK AROUND THE WATER.

CURRENTLY, IT STOPS PROBABLY ABOUT MID POINT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE WATERWAY.

IT DOES NOT EXTEND OVER TO THE DALLAS PARKWAY.

SO THERE'S NO IT'S THERE'S NO RESTAURANT OR RETAIL USES? NOT REQUIRED, IT'S SET UP AS FLEX.

SO IF THERE'S THE NEED ARISE, IT'S ALL BUILT TO SUIT.

SO EXPLAIN TO ME WHY WE WOULD DO THAT.

YOU KNOW, TO YOU KNOW, THIS IS A BODY OF WATER THAT KIND OF RUNS TO CENTRAL PARK.

WE TALK ABOUT THE CENTRAL PARK IN THIS AREA IS ABOUT BEING SOMETHING THAT PERHAPS WE DID NOT AMENITIES ENOUGH TO GENERATE A USE AROUND IT. AND IN FACT, PROBABLY A LOT OF PEOPLE IN FRISCO DON'T KNOW THIS PARK EXISTS BECAUSE THERE'S NO REASON FOR THEM TO GO.

AND FOR THE LONGEST TIME, WE HAD VIEWED THIS TRACT AS WHAT WAS GOING TO BE KIND OF THE GATEWAY TO FINALLY OPENING THAT DOOR.

AND SO I HAVE A HARD TIME SUPPORTING.

THIS IS JUST ONE PERSON INDIVIDUALLY.

A DEVELOPMENT DESIGN THAT IS JUST PUTTING MULTIFAMILY ACROSS FROM IT.

WELL, THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW.

SO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE CENTRAL PARK, IT'S LOCATED OVER IN THIS AREA RIGHT HERE.

THIS IS A TRACK THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THERE.

SO IT WAS ALWAYS ENVISIONED TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF TRAIL GOING AROUND THE BODY OF WATER.

WE HAVE TRIED FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

I'VE TALKED TO PEOPLE ABOUT ACTIVATING THAT.

WE'VE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL ABOUT TRYING TO ATTRACT PEOPLE OR RESTAURANTS.

EXACTLY. PATIOS OVERLOOKING THE WATER.

THAT WOULD BE A PRIME LOCATION FOR THAT.

THAT WAS ALWAYS A HOPE OF DOING IT.

AND OTHERS I CHALLENGE WITH TRAFFIC NOISE, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING WE HAD TALKED ABOUT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND ALSO DOING SOMETHING LIKE WALTZING WATERS OR SOMETHING ON THE WATER TO ACTIVATE IT, BUT NOTHING CAME ABOUT.

OKAY, WELL, I'LL DEFER TO COUNCIL, BUT SINCE I DON'T GET TO VOTE UNLESS THERE'S A TIE, I JUST WANT IT TO BE VERBALIZED THAT I DON'T SUPPORT THIS. COUNCIL, I'LL TURN IT TO Y'ALL FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS THAT YOU HAVE.

JOHN, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE SITE MAP FOR ME, PLEASE? SURE. SO CAN YOU JUST LAY OUT FOR THE BUILDINGS?

[00:50:05]

BECAUSE THAT'S WAY TOO SMALL FOR MY EYES TO BE ABLE TO SEE AS FAR AS ALONG THE LINE AT THE BOTTOM? IS THAT WHERE THOSE SMALL BUILDINGS, ARE THOSE THE APARTMENT BUILDINGS? YEAH. SO THIS IS THE APARTMENT BUILDING HERE.

AND I MEAN, IT GOES ON UP TOWARDS WARREN PARKWAY.

WE GO TO THERE'S THE NORTHERN HALF OF IT.

SO THEY'RE SHOWN TWO OFFICE BUILDINGS, BUT BASICALLY THIS FAR LANE COMING DOWN THIS WAY.

EVERYTHING BETWEEN THAT AND GOING OVER TO THIS STREET HERE IS THE APARTMENT BUILDING.

IT'S ONE BUILDING.

SO IT'S THAT BIG? YEAH.

LOOK IN THIS ONE. THANK YOU.

SO THIS IS ONE BUILDING, AND THEN THESE TWO ARE THE OFFICE BUILDINGS.

AND IN THE IT SAID THAT THERE WAS A 15% OPEN SPACE IN HERE.

CORRECT. OVER THE TEN.

DID I MISREAD THAT? RIGHT.

I MEAN, THEY'RE PROVIDING THERE'S IN THIS PLAN DEVELOPMENT, THERE'S MORE OPEN SPACE.

THEY'RE DOING A LITTLE BIT OF OPEN SPACE IN IT.

BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S CLOSE TO THE THE 10%.

I MEAN, THIS IS PART OF AN OVERALL PD.

GOT IT FOR THE OVERALL, NOT FOR THIS PARTICULAR SEGMENT.

THAT'S RIGHT. THANK YOU.

SO THAT'S WHAT I WAS MISSING.

YES. MR. MAYOR, WILL YOU SUMMARIZE WHY YOU'RE AGAINST THIS AND IN TERMS THAT MAYBE A LITTLE CLEARER OR REPEAT THIS, I MAYBE CAN COMPREHEND IT? YEAH.

I MEAN, SO WHEN YOU DRIVE PAST THIS PROPERTY ON THE TOLLWAY, I MEAN, JUST FROM A VISUAL PERSPECTIVE, I MEAN, IT'S ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE PROPERTIES IN THE CITY WHERE YOU'VE GOT THIS BEAUTIFUL WATER FEATURE THAT INTEGRATES AND LINKS TO GRAND NOT GRAND PARK, BUT THE CENTRAL PARK AND THROUGH THE CORRIDOR OF STONEBRIAR.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, AS JOHN MENTIONED, FOR YEARS, WE KIND OF ENVISIONED THIS TO BE RESTAURANT ROW, SPRAWLING PATIOS OVERLOOKING THE WATER, A TRUE DESTINATION THAT YOU WOULD GO THERE AND HAVE BRUNCH, LUNCH, DINNER, STROLL INTO CENTRAL PARK, LOSE YOURSELF FOR AN AFTERNOON, AND IT BE AN EXPERIENCE THAT KIND OF HIGHLIGHTED A GREAT CORNER OF PRIME REAL ESTATE ON DALLAS PARKWAY.

AND, YOU KNOW, FOR ME PERSONALLY, DRIVING PAST THIS EVERY DAY FOR 20 YEARS WITH THAT VISION, IT'S HARD FOR ME TO VISUALIZE APARTMENTS ON IT AND I DON'T KNOW IT'S JUST VERY UNDERWHELMING.

I FEEL LIKE MORE COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO MAXIMIZE THE ASSET THAT WE HAVE HERE.

AND THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY THINGS IS ANY BODY OF WATER IN THE CITY, WHETHER IT'S A DETENTION POND OR ANYTHING, SHOULD BE AMENITIZED AND FIND WAYS FOR PEOPLE TO ACCESS IT AND USE IT.

AND SO AS WE ALL KNOW, THERE'S THERE'S PLENTY OF PLACES IN FRISCO THAT ARE APARTMENTS.

TOO MANY, MANY PEOPLE WOULD SAY.

AND SO WHEN YOU DO HAVE UNIQUE PIECES OF PROPERTY, I THINK MY PERSPECTIVE IS WE SHOULD FIGHT TO KEEP THEM.

THIS JUST FOR CLARITY.

THIS PROPERTY ALREADY HAS APARTMENTS.

THAT ME? MY NEXT QUESTION IS A REDUCTION IN THOSE NUMBERS.

WHERE WERE THE APARTMENTS GOING TO BE BEFORE? PRIOR TO THIS, FOR THE SAME LOCATION, IT WAS SCATTERED AROUND ON THE PROPERTY AND RIDGELAND HAD SOMEBODY COME IN AND SAY THEY WANT TO DO APARTMENTS ONLY ON THIS. AND I TOLD THEM THEY COULDN'T PER THE ZONING EXHIBIT IN THE PD.

SO JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, JOHN, SO IT WAS ZONED FOR MULTIFAMILY BEFORE.

NOW..

IT INCLUDES CHANGING, IT INCLUDED MULTIFAMILY.

AND THERE WAS A CAP ON THE TWO TRACTS WHICH HAS BEEN COMBINED INTO ONE, BUT IT WAS IN SPECIFIC LOCATIONS AND THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT TO CHANGE.

AND SO IN THE PROCESS OF CHANGING.

IT'S A MAJOR AMENDMENT, FIRST OF ALL, AND THEN IT'S LOWERING THE NUMBER OF UNITS.

THAT'S ONE. NUMBER TWO IS GETTING OFFICE BUILT NOW INSTEAD OF LATER, BECAUSE THIS WAS APPROVED BEFORE THERE WAS ANY PHASING POLICY IN PLACE.

SO THERE WAS ONLY IT WAS ZONED MULTIFAMILY BEFORE.

IT'S STILL THEY'RE STILL REQUESTING MULTIFAMILY ZONING TO BE INCLUDED.

BUT WHAT THEY'RE REQUESTING IS TO CHANGE THE LOCATION OF WHERE THE MULTIFAMILY UNITS ARE GOING TO BE LOCATED.

AND IN THE PROCESS, WE'RE NEGOTIATING THE REDUCTION OF THE NUMBER OF MULTIFAMILY UNITS AND AN INCREASE IN GREEN SPACE.

THE GREEN SPACE IS BASICALLY THERE.

WHAT WE'RE GETTING IS REDUCING THE NUMBER OF UNITS ABOUT 300.

SO THAT'S A 37% DECREASE.

NUMBER TWO IS AT LEAST ON ONE OF THE OFFICE BUILDINGS.

[00:55:05]

THEY NEED TO TOP OUT AT LEAST 15 STORES OR HAVE IT COMPLETED BEFORE THEY OCCUPY THE MULTIFAMILY.

THEY HAVE TO EARN UP. THAT'S RIGHT.

THAT DOESN'T EXIST TODAY.

IS THERE MORE OFFICE SPACE ON THIS PLAN THERE WAS BEFORE.

THE OFFICE SPACE WASN'T TIED DOWN SPECIFICALLY.

YOU HAD ILLUSTRATIONS TALKING ABOUT BUILDING HEIGHT, BUT NOTHING FROM A SQUARE FOOTAGE STANDPOINT.

THIS IS SAYING LIKE THAT FIRST BUILDING HAS TO HAVE A MINIMUM OF 200,000 SQUARE FEET, AND THEN THERE'S A SECOND BUILDING TO BE DONE AT A LATER TIME.

SO YEAH, JUST FOR ME TO WRAP UP AND BE DONE, I MEAN, REDUCTION IN APARTMENTS, ESPECIALLY ON A CORNER LIKE THAT, HUGE.

I THINK WE OBVIOUSLY ALL KNOW WE NEED OFFICE SPACE.

I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT THE MAYOR SAID ABOUT IT'D BE NICE TO DO THAT, BUT I ASSUME THE DEVELOPERS LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THEY CAN RENT THOSE APARTMENTS FOR MORE BECAUSE THERE'S A BEAUTIFUL THERE'S A BEAUTIFUL FRONT DOOR, A BEAUTIFUL BACK DOOR TO GO LOOK OVER THE WATER.

AND IT'S AN AMENITY FOR THOSE PEOPLE.

SO GIVEN WHERE WE WERE, WHERE WE ARE, I'LL, I'LL SUPPORT THOSE.

WELL, LET ME LET ME JUST CLARIFY MY POSITION.

SO ALL THOSE THINGS I AGREE WITH.

SO A MAJOR REZONING IS A NEGOTIATION.

SO I AGREE AGREE WITH ALL THOSE POINTS.

WHERE I DIFFERENCE IS DEFER IS I FEEL LIKE WHEN WE NEGOTIATED, WE LEFT ONE FINAL PIECE OUT, WHICH WAS PROTECTING THE WATERFRONT, AND WE'VE NEGOTIATED THOSE SOMETIMES IN THE PAST.

WE DID IT AT THE APARTMENTS NEXT TO THE BALLPARK, YOU KNOW, AND THEY TOLD US THAT THAT FIRST FLOOR RETAIL, THEY'D NEVER BE ABLE TO LEASE IT.

AND IT'S GOING TO END UP BEING VERY VALUABLE RETAIL SPACE.

I'M GLAD WE DID THAT TEN YEARS AGO.

YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S A PRETTY SIMPLE ASK IN MY MIND THAT THE FIRST FLOOR RETAIL WOULD BE REQUIRED AND THAT'S WHERE I DIFFER, I WOULD SAY, IN THE NEGOTIATION, WHICH IS WORK A LITTLE HARDER.

WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO DO FIRST FLOOR RETAIL? SO THE OFFICE BUILDING WILL HAVE A RESTAURANT IN IT.

IT'S NOT DECIDED SPECIFICALLY WHERE IT WOULD GO.

I THINK WE'RE OPEN TO THE POSSIBILITY OF IT ON SOME OF THE MULTIFAMILY.

I THINK THAT THE CONCERN IS HAVING IT BE A REQUIREMENT AND THEN NOT BEING ABLE TO LEASE IT RIGHT.

BUT TO BE FAIR, THIS IS SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR A LONG TIME.

AND IF IT WOULD BENEFIT YOU ALL FOR US TO POSTPONE IT, WORK ON THAT WATER EDGE A LITTLE BIT MORE, THAT WE MIGHT PREFER TO DO THAT AND THEN GET SHOT DOWN TONIGHT.

AND THERE ARE SOME REAL BENEFITS HERE, REDUCING THE MULTIFAMILY COUNT, ENSURING THE OFFICE GOES FIRST.

AND SO I THINK THERE'S THE SEEDS OF COMPROMISE EXIST.

SO I WOULD STRONGLY ENCOURAGE COUNCIL TO TAKE THEM UP ON THAT OFFER AND TO TABLE THIS AND SEE IF WE CAN COME TO A BETTER OUTCOME WITH THE WATERFRONT.

HOW MUCH TIME WOULD YOU NEED JOHN? I WOULD AT LEAST TABLE TO THE FEBRUARY 7TH MEETING AND TABLE THIS FEBRUARY 7TH AND THEN YOUR ALL'S DECISION.

BUT DO YOU WANT TO OPEN AND CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING OR JUST HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSE AND THEN JUST DISCUSS THIS AT THE FEBRUARY 7TH MEETING? THAT'S YOU ALL WE CAN CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING SO THAT IF THERE'S FURTHER COMMENT.

SO IF YOU DO THAT, YOU JUST NEED TO REOPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN TABLE AND CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO FEBRUARY 7TH.

SO MOTION BY JOHN TO REOPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SECOND. SECOND BY ANGELIA.

ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE. MOTION PASSES, SIX ZERO.

PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN AGAIN.

AND IF YOU WANT TO TABLE AND CONTINUE.

YEAH MOVE TO MOVE TO TABLE TILL FEBRUARY 7TH AND CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SECOND. MOTION BY JOHN SECOND BY BILL.

ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE. MOTION PASSES, SIX ZERO.

WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO HAVE THOUGHTFUL DISCUSSION ON THAT.

ABSOLUTELY. THAT WOULD MOVE US TO WHAT ARE WE ON NOW? ITEM 32 IS A PUBLIC HEARING, A REQUEST TO REZONE 16.3 ACRES ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF OHIO DRIVE AND WARREN PARKWAY FROM COMMERCIAL ONE TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT TOWNHOME TO AMEND

[32. Public Hearing: A request to rezone 16.3± acres on the southeast corner of Ohio Drive and Warren Parkway ("Property"), from Commercial-1 to Planned Development-Townhome, to amend the Zoning Ordinance (Ordinance No. 11-04-09, as amended), and to consider to direct Staff to prepare an Ordinance of the same. Zoned Commercial-1. Neighborhood #29. Zoning Case No. Z22-0011. Applicant: Kimley-Horn. (Development Services/JH)]

THE ZONING ORDINANCE NUMBER 11-04-09 NINE AS AMENDED, AND TO CONSIDER TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE OF THE SAME.

ZONE COMMERCIAL ONE.

NEIGHBORHOOD NUMBER 29, ZONING CASE NUMBER Z22-0011.

APPLICANT KIMLEY-HORN.

YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL ON THIS PARTICULAR REQUEST.

LOOKING ON THE PROPERTY FROM WARREN DOWN TO GAYLORD FROM OHIO OVER TO ALMOST OVER TO HILLCREST.

WE HAD A ZONING CASE BACK IN 2014.

ALL OF THIS PROPERTY WAS ZONED COMMERCIAL ONE IT HAS SET OUT THERE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, NEVER DEVELOPED.

[01:00:02]

IT JUST WASN'T THE DEMAND TO DO COMMERCIAL BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC COUNTS WAS NEVER GOING TO BE THERE FOR WARREN OR GAYLORD, BECAUSE THOSE BOTH OF THOSE WERE MAJOR THOROUGHFARES THEY TERMINATED AT HILLCREST.

AND SO WE DOWNGRADED THAT BECAUSE I'D NEVER BE THE COMMERCIAL WASN'T GOING TO HAPPEN IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA.

I WAS MEETING WITH DEVELOPERS AND IT'S NOTHING THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.

WE HAD A CHURCH OR HAD SELF STORAGE AND A DAYCARE OUT OF THIS SIDE.

SO BACK IN 2014, WORKING WITH A NUMBER OF PROPERTY OWNERS, THIS RESIDENTIAL, WE HAVE MULTIFAMILY TO THE SOUTH AND WE HAVE SINGLE FAMILY TO THE EAST.

SO ONE OF THE PLANNING PRINCIPLES HERE WAS WORKING ON WALKABILITY.

AND IMAGINE THAT AT SOME POINT PROPERTY EAST OF OHIO WILL PROBABLY REDEVELOP AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE.

AND THIS TIES IN OVER TO THE MALL.

HOW DO WE MAKE THIS AREA WALKABLE? BUT WHEN WE DID THE ZONING CASE BACK IN 2014, THE FAMILY THAT OWNED THIS PARTICULAR TRACT WAS UP IN NEW YORK MET WITH THEM.

THEY JUST WERE NOT INTERESTED AT THAT TIME TO BE PART OF A ZONING CASE.

SO THEY PUNTED.

AND NOW MOVING FORWARD, WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF REQUESTS FOR DOING MULTIFAMILY ON THIS.

WE TOLD THEM THAT WAS NEVER GOING TO WORK, NOT THE FAMILY THAT OWNED IT, BUT OTHER PEOPLE CAME IN AND THEY WANT TO DO MULTIFAMILY SINCE THAT WAS HOT AND TOLD THEM THAT WAS NOT GOING TO WORK. AND WE HAD A COUPLE OF WORK SESSIONS WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

SO WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU TWO NOW TONIGHT IS A TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT BEEN VETTED THROUGH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND THIS IS TRY TO WORK IN WITH THE OPEN SPACE THAT'S ADJACENT TO THE EAST SIDE.

THAT'S NOT PART OF THE OPEN SPACE FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT.

THE TOWNHOME IS PROVIDING ITS OWN 15% OPEN SPACE.

THE NUMBER OF UNITS WOULD BE CAPPED AT 95.

THAT COMES OUT JUST UNDER SIX UNITS TO THE ACRE.

AND SO SOME OF THE DESIGN CHALLENGES IS YOU GOT THE ROUNDABOUT THERE AT WARREN AND OHIO AND THEN WANT TO TURN THE BACK ON IT.

SO WE WORK WITH THEM.

AND ON THE DESIGN WHERE YOU DO HAVE THE UNITS FACING ON TO OHIO, BUT THEY'RE SET BACK WITH AN ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPE EDGE AND THERE'S SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THAT WITH TOWNHOMES THAT FRONT ON PARKWOOD BOULEVARD TO SOUTH OF LEGACY DOWN IN PLANO.

WE DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE THOSE UNITS DIRECTLY.

UP ON OHIO BECAUSE THAT WOULD SEEM A LITTLE BIT TOO TIGHT, BUT THAT WILL BE HEAVILY TREED.

THE OPEN SPACE IS LOCATED ALONG THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY.

THIS IS THE OPEN SPACE, DETAILED EXHIBITS, HOW THAT OPEN SPACE WOULD BE DESIGNED.

PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION ASKS IF STEPS COULD BE PROVIDED PRETTY MUCH LEVEL UP IN THIS AREA AND THEN THE GRADE SEPARATION INCREASES AS YOU GO SOUTH. WE CANNOT MANDATE STEPS BECAUSE THAT'S SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROPERTY.

BUT THE APPLICANT DID MEET WITH THE ADJOINING NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY SAID NO TO THAT REQUEST.

WITHIN THIS PLAN DEVELOPMENT OR THREE BUILDING ELEVATIONS, THEY HAVE TO MIX THOSE UP IN HERE TO AVOID THE MONOTONY LOOK.

SO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THIS.

THEY DID SIGN THE VOLUNTEER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, WHICH WAS AN AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 15.

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING FROM PUBLIC HEARING.

MOTION BY JOHN. SECOND.

SECOND BY ANGELIA. ALL IN FAVOR.

MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN. IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, MOVED TO CLOSE.

ACTION BY JOHN TO CLOSE. SECOND BY BILL.

ALL IN FAVOR. AYE.

MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO. PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

COUNCIL WHAT QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE? JOHN, CAN WE BACK UP JUST A LITTLE BIT? WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE INTERACTION WITH THE PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH? CAN YOU JUST SPEND A LITTLE MORE TIME ON THAT? I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTOOD WHAT EXACTLY YOU WERE SAYING ABOUT STEPS OR.

WELL, THIS IS TO THE EAST.

ACTUALLY, IF I SAID TO THE SOUTH, I APOLOGIZE, BUT TO THE EAST.

AND SO LET ME GO BACK TO HERE'S THE OPEN SPACE FOR THE TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT.

SO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION WAS ASKING ABOUT ACCESS INTO THIS OPEN SPACE ON THE ADJOINING PROPERTY.

THE GRADES ARE PRETTY EVEN UP HERE, BUT AS YOU GO SOUTH, THAT GOES TO ALMOST A SIX FOOT RETAINING WALL AS YOU GO FURTHER TO THE SOUTH.

SO THERE IS A POSSIBILITY TO HAVE THAT CONNECTION, SOME TYPE OF CONNECTION THERE.

AGAIN, IF THE PROPERTY OWNER IS NOT WILLING TO CONSENT, THEN WE CAN'T PROVIDE THAT ACCESS.

THE PROPERTY OWNER TO THE EAST ISN'T WILLING TO..

THAT'S RIGHT.

BUT AS YOU GET TO THE NORTH END OF THE PROPERTY, IT'S GRADE LEVEL.

SO IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO WALK ALONG THAT ROAD AND ENTER THAT OPEN SPACE, THEY COULD DO THAT.

THEY CAN DO THAT. YES.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I UNDERSTAND NOW.

THANK YOU. THANK. QUESTIONS.

JUST THIS DEVELOPMENT COMPARED TO THE SINGLE FAMILY THAT'S.

IS IT SOUTH OF IT OR TO THE EAST, TO THE EAST OF IT?

[01:05:04]

COMPARABLE DENSITY.

WELL, TO THE EAST YOU HAVE BASICALLY SINGLE FAMILY, SEVEN AND PADDY HOMES OVER THERE.

THIS ONE WOULD BE TOWNHOMES, A LITTLE MORE DENSE.

BUT. BUT WE'RE NOT TALKING RADICAL.

NO, BECAUSE GENERALLY WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING OVER THERE IS PROBABLY ABOUT FOUR AND ONE HALF UNITS TO THE ACRE.

THIS ONE COMES OUT JUST UNDER SIX.

OKAY. HE'S GOT A PERMANENT JOB.

IS THERE ANY SORT OF AGREEMENT IN HERE THAT THEY HAVE TO BUILD THE CLUBHOUSE IN THE OPEN SPACE FIRST BEFORE THEY CAN BUILD THE REST OF THE TOWNHOMES? GENERALLY, THE MARKET TAKES CARE OF THAT.

THEY JUST BUILD THAT BECAUSE THAT'S PART OF THEIR MARKETING TO SELL HOMES.

I NEVER FOUND THAT TO BE AN ISSUE.

OKAY. SEEMS LIKE A LOGICAL USE THERE TO KIND OF STEP DOWN THE DENSITY AND A GOOD USE OF PROPERTY.

SO THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

MOVED TO APPROVE AND DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE.

MOTION BY BILL. SECOND.

SECOND BY JOHN. ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE. MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

THAT WILL TO MOVE US TO ITEM 34.

[33. Public Hearing: A request to rezone two lots on 0.8± acre on the southeast corner of North County Road and Ashbury Court (“Property”), from Residential Estate to Single-Family Residential-10, to amend the Zoning Ordinance (Ordinance No. 11-04-09, as amended), and to consider to direct Staff to prepare an Ordinance of the same. Neighborhood #11. Zoning Case No. Z22-0020. Applicant: City of Frisco. (Development Services/SSS)]

CONSIDER AN ACT UPON ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE TO REZONE TO LAW AT SOME POINT EIGHT ACRES ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF NORTH COUNTY ROAD AND ASHBURY COURT, FROM RESIDENTIAL STATE TO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TEN.

TO CONSIDER TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE TO THE SAME AND TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE NUMBER 11-409 AS AMENDED.

ZONED RESIDENTIAL STATE NEIGHBORHOOD NUMBER 11 ZONING CASE NUMBER Z22-0020.

APPLICANT CITY OF FRISCO.

OKAY. MIGHT REMEMBER, I THINK IT WAS BACK IN OCTOBER OR MRS. KING APPEARED BEFORE YOU ALL DECIDING THAT THE CITY HAD SOMEHOW REZONED HER PROPERTY TO PROPERTY, TO RESIDENTIAL ESTATE.

WENT BACK AND LOOKED.

I DIDN'T FIND THE PROPERTY.

LAST TIME WE ADOPTED A ZONING MAP BY ORDINANCE WAS IN 1993.

WE FOLLOWED THE PROCEDURES, YOU KNOW, NOTIFICATION TO PROPERTY OWNERS AND AND NOTICES TO THE NEWSPAPER.

AND SO I'VE ASKED MS..

KING IF SHE FINDS ANYTHING THAT WE DID WRONG TO BRING IT FORWARD.

SHE HAS NOT TODAY.

BUT LOOKING AT THE PROPERTY ZONED RESIDENTIAL ESTATE, IT DOES NOT MEET ANY OF THE RESIDENTIAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AS FAR AS LOT SIZE DEPTH.

SO THE CLOSEST THAT COMES TO MIND AND WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO DIVIDE IT INTO TWO TRACTS.

THE CLOSEST IS SINGLE FAMILY TEN.

NOW THERE'S A BUILDING OR TWO THAT'S BEEN BUILT.

THEY WERE NOT MEET THE SETBACK SETBACKS THEY WOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS NON CONFORMING.

SO IF MORE THAN 50% IS DESTROYED BY FIRE, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REBUILD.

BUT WITH THE ZONING IN HAND, SINGLE FAMILY TEN MEETS THE.

THERE NEEDS TO REZONE THE PROPERTY IN ORDER TO SUBDIVIDE.

THE SUBDIVISION CAN BE HANDLED AS A MINOR PLAT.

IT CAN BE APPROVED BY STAFF AND RECORDED AT THE COUNTY BECAUSE IT'S FOUR OR LESS LOTS.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS ARE AROUND THE PROPERTY, SO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL.

AND THEN THE SECOND ITEM WE HAVE THE ORDINANCE FOR THIS CASE AS WELL.

SO THIS WOULD BE ALL WRAPPED UP TONIGHT AND PENDING COUNCIL'S ACTION COUNCIL.

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, OPEN PUBLIC HEARING.

MOTION BY JOHN SECOND, SECOND BY ANGELIA.

ALL IN FAVOR. MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, MOVED CLOSE.

MOTION BY BILL.

SECOND BY ANGELIA. ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE. ALL RIGHT, THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED, AND I PRESUME THE PROPERTY OWNER IS SUPPORTIVE OF THIS.

YES, WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS.

WE DID MAKE A MISSTEP ON THE PUBLIC HEARING, BUT WE'VE GOT WE'RE MEETING THE SAME DEADLINE IN WHICH I TOLD HER WE WOULD MEET.

NOW IT'S IN Y'ALL'S HANDS.

[INAUDIBLE] THANKS FOR ADDING THAT.

JOHN I'D EARLIER WHEN WE WERE WORKING ON THIS BEFORE THE BREAK, I'D ASKED WHAT COSTS WERE GOING TO FALL ON THE KING FAMILY.

DID WE DID WE EVER FORGET..

REGARDING THE ZONING CASE, THE ONLY THING THEY DID PAY PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES, GETTING THE ZONING SIGNS OUT AND WE HANDLED EVERYTHING ELSE. SO SHE QUOTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO COST $20,000.

YOU KNOW, WHAT WAS DONE WAS WELL BELOW 1000.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT WORK AND HELPING THEM OUT WITH THAT.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE WE TOOK SOME OWNERSHIP WHERE IT WAS APPROPRIATE.

AND I THINK WE'VE GOT A REALLY GREAT OUTCOME HERE FOR EVERYBODY.

SO I'LL MOVE TO APPROVALS, ANYONE ELSE'S.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? SECOND.

ALL RIGHT. MOTION BY JOHN.

SECOND BY BILL. ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE. MOTION PASSES, SIX ZERO.

SO WE'RE ASKING FOR TWO MORE APPOINTMENTS FOR THAT AS WELL.

NOW, THE CONTRACT JUDGES, THEY'RE AN HOURLY CONTRACT.

IT'S NOT AN ACTUAL DOLLAR AMOUNT FOR THE YEAR.

IT'S JUST WHAT HOURS ACTUALLY WORK.

I DO BELIEVE THAT JUDGE MALDONADO BRIEFED Y'ALL IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO ACTUALLY INTRODUCE YOU.

I'LL GIVE YOU A BRIEF BIO.

IT'S YOU KNOW, IT'LL BE BRIEF.

ALL. SO FIRST OF ALL, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE AND RECOMMEND MS..

CHRISTINE VENTURA.

MISS VENTURA HAS BEEN PRACTICING LAW FOR OVER 20 YEARS IN THE AREA.

SHE'S SHE'S GOT A PASSION FOR CPS CASES.

SHE LIVES IN DENTON COUNTY.

SHE WAS A PRIOR DENTON COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

AND SHE'S BEEN AN ASSET FOR US BECAUSE SHE'LL BE AVAILABLE TO US ON THAT PART TIME BASIS TO FILL IN FOR JUDGE BURKE.

AND SO IT'S JUDGE MALDONADO'S RECOMMENDATION, WHICH YOU ALL REMEMBER.

SOME OF YOU WEREN'T HERE THAT YOU ALL TASKED JUDGE MALDONADO WITH MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO YOU, ALL FOUR ASSOCIATE JUDGES.

SO. CHRISTINE VENTURA AND THEN IN OUR CONTRACT JUDGES, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE MS..

ANTOINETTE [INAUDIBLE] SHE'S BEEN PRACTICING LAW FOR ALMOST 15 YEARS.

[01:15:01]

CPAC TO UPDATE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

YES, WE'RE CURRENTLY UNDER CONTRACT NOW.

WE'RE NOT IN DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WITH THE CONSULTANT TO DO THE UPDATE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

BUT WHILE THAT'S GOING ON, THIS IS ABOUT A [INAUDIBLE] TO CREATING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

BILL WILL BE FAMILIAR WITH THAT.

BUT LOOKING FOR THIS TO BE THE SAME NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND 23 MEMBERS ON IT.

IN THE PAST WE'VE INCLUDED LIKE FOUR PREVIOUS MEMBERS AS CARRYOVER THIS TIME AROUND ONLY RECOMMENDING THREE FROM THE PREVIOUS ONE. THIS IS ALL SUBJECT TO WHAT? IN ORDER TO HAVE ONE MEMBER OF COUNCIL ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

SO THAT WOULD BE A FUTURE AGENDA ITEM TO NOMINATE AND SELECT WHO ON COUNCIL WOULD BE ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO.

BUT ALSO INCLUDED WOULD BE MEMBERSHIPS FROM THE FRISCO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, FISD PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, PARKS BOARD.

THEY WERE SELECT THEIR OWN MEMBERS.

WHAT WOULD BE LEFT IS NOT SELECTING THE COUNCIL BUT 14 OTHER PEOPLE ON THAT.
