I DID HEAR THAT SEAN MIGHT NEED TO RECUSE HIMSELF FOR THIS ONE, TOO.

I'M SORRY. WHAT'S THAT? IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID? I THINK SO.

I THINK YOU COULD HAVE BEEN ABSENT TONIGHT, AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE. YOU'RE GOOD.

OH. HE'S FINE. OKAY. THANK YOU, CHAIR, AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION.

SO, THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS TO REMOVE THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A CHURCH FROM THIS LOCATION.

DUE TO THE ORDINANCE THAT WAS APPROVED IN MARCH 2022 THAT ALLOWS CHURCHES TO BE PERMITTED BASED ON OUR CONDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. SO THIS CHURCH CURRENTLY FRONTS ON A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE AND DOES COMPLY WITH THOSE STANDARDS SET FORTH IN THE ORDINANCE APPROVED IN MARCH 2022. SO STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THE REQUEST TO RESCIND THIS SUP AND RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THIS RESOLUTION.

GREAT. DO I HAVE A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM 18? MOVE TO OPEN PUBLIC HEARING. MOTION BY BRITTANY.

I'LL MOTION TO RESCIND ITEM NUMBER 18. WONDERFUL.

I'VE GOT A MOTION BY TIFFANY. SECOND. SECOND BY SEAN.

[00:10:02]

CONGRATULATIONS. TWO CHURCHES HAD SUCCESS TONIGHT.

WITH THAT ITEM 19, RESULT OF THE MARCH 4TH, 2025 CITY COUNCIL MEETING, MR.

[Results of the March 4, 2025, City Council meeting.]

ONE WAS FOR THE PINK HOUSE THAT YOU ALL ARE CONSIDERED.

SO THAT WAS APPROVED. THEY APPROVED THE ORDINANCE FOR THE SUP FOR THE OFFICE WAREHOUSE ON 121.

THAT'S ABOUT 1000FT WEST OF INDEPENDENCE AND THE SUP FOR OUR CHILD CARE CENTER.

NOW, WHERE IS THAT AT? THAT'S OFF OF COURT, JUST SOUTH OF BY CHARISMATIC PARKWAY.

SO THAT WAS APPROVED. THE OTHER ITEMS THAT WERE UP FOR PUBLIC HEARING, THE ONE WERE ONE WAS TO AMEND THE SITE PLAN REQUIREMENTS AND THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO HAVE SITE PLANS VALID FOR TWO YEARS, THE DATE THAT THEY'RE APPROVED BY P&Z, INSTEAD OF THE DATE OF SUBMISSION THAT WAS APPROVED. THE CHILD CARE. THAT'S A COUNTRY BURG THAT'S OFF THE ALONG INDEPENDENCE THAT WAS APPROVED, AND THE 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED.

SO IT WAS GOOD. COMPLIMENTS ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ALL AROUND.

SO THANK YOU ALL. SO QUESTION DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY HOMES ARE IN THE CITY OF FRISCO? JUST A BALLPARK. BUT OBVIOUSLY YOU DO. LET'S SEE WHAT YOU KNOW.

HOW MANY HAVE YOU CLOSED? WHAT DO YOU THINK? WHAT DO YOU THINK? LET'S TAKE GUESSES. I WOULD THINK SOMEWHERE AROUND BETWEEN 38,000 AND 42,000.

NOW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HOMES OR ARE YOU INCLUDING MULTIFAMILY? SO WE GOT TO BREAK THIS DOWN BY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE.

YEAH. SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. SO LET'S NOT INCLUDE MULTIFAMILY.

SO I'LL GO TO 35,000. YEAH FOR ABOUT 35,000. YOU HAVE ABOUT TWO POINT.

THAT'S ABOUT 75 MINUTES. I WOULD THINK AROUND ABOUT 56, I DON'T KNOW, BUT I'M GOING TO LOOK THAT UP.

SO, WE GOT BAT HERE. 59,642 SINGLE FAMILY UNITS.

HOW MANY? 59,642 SINGLE FAMILY. MAN I DIDN'T GO OVER THAT NUMBER.

AND WHERE WERE YOU COMING FROM, JOHN? NO, NO, NO, WHERE I WAS COMING FROM IS I FIND IT FASCINATING THAT IF YOU COULD LIVE SOMEWHERE ELSE, WE HAVE 235,000 PEOPLE HERE. AND YOU SAY, OH, I LIVE IN THE PINK HOUSE, AND THERE'S ONLY ONE PINK HOUSE OUT OF 59,000.

ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT? WELL, YOU JUST SAID THE PINK HOUSE, AND WE ALL KNEW WHICH HOUSE IT WAS.

YEAH, YOU DID THIS SCENARIO BECAUSE IT WAS BEFORE YOU.

HISTORICAL HOME DESIGNATION. ANYWAYS, CAN I ASK A SERIOUS QUESTION ABOUT THE PINK HOUSE? NO. I'M SORRY. YEAH. GO AHEAD. CAN I ALSO ASK A SERIOUS QUESTION ABOUT THE PINK HOUSE? JOHN, CAN YOU JUST VERY QUICKLY ELABORATE THE CHANGES BECAUSE BETWEEN P AND Z VOTING ON IT AND THEN THE CITY COUNCIL VOTING ON IT, THERE WAS SOME NEW ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT I THINK HELPED MAKE IT EASIER TO APPROVE AT CITY COUNCIL.

SEPARATING OUT THE ZONING FROM THE OTHER ISSUES THAT WERE KIND OF CLOUDING IT.

AGAIN, I EXPLAINED AT COUNCIL THAT THIS PROPERTY WHY IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN OTR.

I MEAN, YOU LOOK UP AND DOWN THAT STREET, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THAT ONE HOUSE.

NONE OF THE OTHER HOUSES WERE OF THAT PERIOD.

THEY WERE TYPICAL RANCH STYLE HOMES THAT YOU HAVE IN THAT AREA.

WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO WAS TO GET TAX CREDIT AND TO DO THAT, THE FINANCE ORDINANCE STATES THAT THERE'S THREE TYPES OF TAX CREDITS THAT YOU CAN GET.

I DON'T HAVE THOSE MEMORIZED, BUT THEY'RE GOING FOR ONE OF THOSE.

BUT IT STATES THAT YOU NEED TO COMPLY WITH THE OTC OR OTR ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS.

SO THERE IT IS. BUT COUNCIL SAYS THEY'RE COMFORTABLE.

THEY HAD NEIGHBORS THAT CAME AND SUPPORT AND SO.

THAT GOT APPROVED. NOW, LET THE RECORD SHOW THERE IS ANOTHER PINK HOUSE IN FRISCO.

THERE IS? YEAH. I MEAN, ON MAIN STREET. IT'S A BUSINESS.

OH, YEAH. THAT'S RIGHT. YES. STYLE HOUSE. IT'S A FASHION BOUTIQUE.

YEP. GOOD JOB. IT IS THE SAME PEPTO-BISMOL PINK.

YES. SO WE HAVE TO CLARIFY WHICH PINK HOUSE WE'RE TALKING.

CRYSTAL IS GOING TO BE SO PROUD RIGHT NOW THAT YOU SAID A FASHION BOUTIQUE.

I'VE HEARD THAT TERM MANY TIMES. I HOPE SHE'S WATCHING.

BUT JUST TO FURTHER JUST TO CLARIFY, THE WAY I UNDERSTOOD IT WAS KIND OF JUST SEPARATING OUT WHAT HAPPENS AFTER P&Z AND CITY COUNCIL APPROVED IT TO CHANGE THE DESIGNATION WAS REALLY KIND OF A SEPARATE ISSUE.

IF THAT HOMEOWNER GOES AND APPLIES FOR THE TAX CREDIT, THAT WILL BE DEALT WITH BY WHOEVER APPROVES THAT, AND THEY CAN DECIDE AT THAT POINT WHETHER OR NOT IT MEETS THEIR CRITERIA.

[00:15:04]

TAX CREDIT IS NOT PART OF THE PROCESS. YEAH OKAY.

BUT YOU WANT TO GO TO THE NEXT ITEM. LET'S GO FUTURE ITEMS. YEAH. ANY FUTURE ITEMS. SO WHICH CARRIES OVER.

SO AT THE MARCH 18TH CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION WE'RE GOING TO BE PRESENTING TWO ITEMS TO COUNCIL.

ONE IS THE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS IS SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS.

CURRENTLY THE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS ARE ABOUT 76 PAGES.

WE'RE REDUCING THAT DOWN TO ABOUT 20 PAGES. THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER INFORMATION IN THERE, SUCH AS LAMP POSTS, TRASH RECEPTACLES, AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS THAT WE'RE TAKING OUT.

THAT'S NO LONGER APPLICABLE BECAUSE ONE OF THESE STANDARDS WERE CREATED, THERE WERE NONE TO BEGIN WITH.

SO THOSE CAN BE REMOVED. BUT WE'RE CUTTING IT DOWN TO MAKE IT EASY FOR THE PUBLIC AS WELL AS STAFF TO UNDERSTAND. SO WE'VE BEEN PRESENTING THIS TO DIFFERENT GROUPS.

THIS WILL PROBABLY BE BEFORE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION IN MAY AT THE EARLIEST.

WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT THE PERMITTED LAND USES IN THE RURAL DISTRICT.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAME UP ON THE LEADERSHIP EXCHANGE BACK IN GEORGIA IN OCTOBER.

AND A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE DONE WHEN WE CREATED THE OTC AND OTR AND PERMITTED USES PRETTY MUCH ALIGNS. WE DON'T SEE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES.

THERE'S A FEW THINGS THAT WE'LL TAKE OUT THAT WE JUST DON'T SEE HAPPENING DOWN THERE.

[Schedule of future discussion items.]

TO ADJOURN. I'VE GOT A MOTION BY BRITTANY. SECOND, SECOND BY SEAN.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO.

WE ARE ADJOURNED AT 6:47 P.M..
