[Public Hearing - Zoning: Planned Development-199 (Z25-0008)] PUBLIC HEARING ZONING PLAN DEVELOPMENT. 199 Z-25-0008. OWNERS ARE MULTIPLE OWNERS. THANK YOU, CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION. SO THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU ALL THIS EVENING WAS PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED FOR THE APRIL 28TH PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING, WHICH WAS CANCELED DUE TO A LACK OF QUORUM. SINCE THAT TIME, STAFF HAS RE-ADVERTISED FOR THE REQUEST, SENT OUT THE REQUIRED PUBLIC NOTICES AND ALSO WE HAVE CONTINUED TO WORK WITH THE APPLICANT TO ADDRESS THE AREAS OF CONCERN SO THAT WE ARE ABLE TO ARRIVE AT A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL THIS EVENING. SO JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND FOR THIS IN SO PLAN DEVELOPMENT 199 WAS PREVIOUSLY ZONED TO ACCOMMODATE RETAIL, [00:15:02] OFFICE AND A SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT ON APPROXIMATELY OVER 223 ACRES. AND SO THE OVERALL BOUNDARY OF THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 199 IS SHOWN IN YELLOW. AND SO THE TRACK THAT WE'RE FOCUSING ON TODAY IS HIGHLIGHTED IN RED. SO A COUPLE OF YOU WERE PRESENT AT THE WORK SESSION THAT WE HAD LAST NOVEMBER WHERE WE DISCUSSED SEVERAL AREAS OF CONCERN. WE ALSO SHARED WITH STAFF WITH THE COMMISSION THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT FOR OVER THREE AND A HALF YEARS, AND THE VARIOUS RENDITIONS OF THIS PLAN RANGE FROM A MIXED USE TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT SOLELY TO TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT, SENIOR LIVING, AND A MIX OF SENIOR LIVING AND COMMERCIAL, WHICH IS THE BULK OF THE ITEM THAT IS BEFORE YOU ALL TODAY. SO PREVIOUSLY WE HAD A RECOMMENDATION OF DENIAL, JUST SIMPLY BECAUSE THE PLAN THAT WAS PRESENTED WAS PRESENTED TO US, DID NOT MEET THE INTENT OF THE PLAN. DEVELOPMENT IN MAINTAINING A WALK, THE WALKABILITY OF THE OVERALL PD THAT HAS BEEN THAT WAS SET FORTH IN TERMS OF HAVING THE BUILDING PULL ALL THE WAY UP TO MAJESTIC GARDENS, WITH THE 15 FOOT WIDE LANDSCAPE, LANDSCAPE AND SIDEWALK AREA. THE APPLICANT IS NOW HAS NOW ADDRESSED THE, THE CONCERNS THAT STAFF HAD THAT LED TO THE PREVIOUS RECOMMENDATION. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO REZONE TO A SENIOR LIVING FACILITY, WHICH IS CONSIDERED MULTIFAMILY, WITH THE RETAIL COMPONENT OF THE HARD CORNER ON MAJESTIC AND ME. THE APPLICANT IS ALSO AT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION, PROPOSING TO BUILD A DEVELOPMENT IN 1 PHASE, AND THAT LANGUAGE IS SPECIFIED IN THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT BEFORE YOU ALL TODAY. SO THE BIG AREAS OF CONTENTION THAT I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT HERE TODAY THAT WE'VE WORKED WITH, WITH THE APPLICANT IS PREVIOUSLY WE HAD CONCERNS ABOUT THE OPEN SPACE BEING FENCED AND GATED. WE HAVE NOW RESOLVED THOSE COMMENTS, WHICH ARE DETAILED IN THE STAFF REPORT BEFORE YOU AND SHOWN ON THE EXHIBITS THAT HAVE BEEN PROVIDED. THE BUILDING NOW FOR THE GROCER NOW IMMEDIATELY ABUTS THE MAJESTIC GARDENS DRIVE AS WELL AS WITH THE 15 FOOT LANDSCAPE AND THE 15 FOOT SIDEWALK. SORRY. AND THE LANDSCAPE AREA. BEFORE YOU ALL, THIS IS THE OPEN SPACE JUST REFERENCED. AND ON THIS EXHIBIT, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE BUILDING THE BUILDING IS PULLED UP TO MAJESTIC GARDENS. SO FOR THE PORTION OF THE PROPERTY THAT'S TO THE SOUTH FOR THE SENIOR LIVING, THEY HAVE ALSO BROUGHT THESE SINGLE STORY UNITS TO CLOSER TO MAJESTIC GARDENS. AND THEY WILL HAVE ORNAMENTAL FENCES WHICH WILL PROVIDE A BACKYARD AMENITY SPACE FOR THE FUTURE RESIDENTS. SO THIS EVENING, THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU ALL IS FOR APPROVAL. THE STAFF REPORT THAT YOU THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO YOU ALL DOES OUTLINE IN DETAIL THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE WITH THE PLAN AND JUST HOW THE THE APPLICANT HAS WORKED WITH STAFF TO PUT THIS PROJECT TOGETHER SO THAT WE ARE AT A PLACE FOR APPROVAL THIS EVENING. SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE OPEN PUBLIC HEARING? THE APPLICANT IS HERE WITH WANTING TO SPEAK AND WITH HER PRESENTATION AS WELL. WE OPEN PUBLIC HEARING FIRST. WELL NO APPLICANT. IF THE APPLICANT WANTS TO SPEAK, WE'LL DO QUESTIONS AFTER. SURE. IT'S IN THERE. OKAY. IF THE APPLICANT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. ARE YOU JUST HERE FOR QUESTIONS OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK? OH, YEAH. MAKE SURE YOU FILL OUT BLUE SPEAKER CARD. ONCE YOU'RE DONE, YOU HAVE IT. OKAY. YEAH, I'LL LET YOU GO. AND THEN WE'LL DO PUBLIC HEARING. YES. AND FOR THOSE WHO ARE WONDERING, PUBLIC SPEAKING IS 5 MINUTES PER PERSON. APPLICANT IS 10 MINUTES. GOOD EVENING, CHAIRPERSON AND FELLOW COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS TRAVIS THOMPSON AND I REPRESENT THE APPLICANT TONIGHT. BUT BEFORE I GO INTO. WILL YOU GIVE YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. 3903. MOURNING DOVE, CARROLLTON, TEXAS 75007. BEFORE I GET INTO A VERY SHORT PRESENTATION OF OUR APPLICATION, I WANTED TO INTRODUCE DYLAN OJEDA. [00:20:05] HE'S WITH TRADER JOE'S, WHICH IS PART OF THIS APPLICATION. FORMERLY I REPRESENT ONLY THE APPLICANT. AND WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE HERE FROM TRADER JOE'S TO MAKE A QUICK INTRODUCTION. AGAIN, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE. DYLAN OJEDA ADDRESS 800 SOUTH SHAMROCK, MONROVIA, A CALIFORNIA 91016. JUST WANTED TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR THE TIME WITH THIS P&Z MEETING. I'M HERE IN PARTNERSHIP ON THIS PROJECT AS THE COMMERCIAL TENANT POTENTIALLY FOR THIS LOCATION. IF THERE'S ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AS IT RELATES TO THE TRADER JOE'S PARCEL OR BUILDING. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS FAIRLY QUICKLY. BUT OF COURSE THERE WILL BE TIME AFTERWARDS FOR QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS, BUT I WANTED TO GIVE EVERYONE A QUICK BACKGROUND. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN HERE FOR THE WORK SESSION, THAT WAS IN NOVEMBER. BASICALLY WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR A VERY LONG TIME. THE IDEA WAS THAT WE COULD HAVE SEVERAL USES THAT WOULD BE COMPLEMENTARY TO ONE ANOTHER, BUT ALSO NOT OVERWHELM THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WITHOUT GOING INTO TOO MUCH BACKGROUND, THE IDEA OF A NEIGHBORHOOD GROCERY STORE AND A SENIOR HOUSING FACILITY FIT THIS SITE LIKE A GLOVE BETTER THAN ANY SITE THAT I'VE EVER WORKED ON. AND WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ITERATIONS OVER TIME. BUT YOU CAN SEE UP HERE AND YOU, I'M SURE YOU HAVE IT IN YOUR REVIEW PACKET THAT WE HAVE THE SPECIALTY GROCERY STORE TRADER JOE'S THAT WOULD BE ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER. AND THEN WE HAVE THE SENIOR HOUSING FACILITY TO THE SOUTH. BIG PICTURE. THE REASON WHY THESE USES FIT TOGETHER IS BECAUSE SENIOR HOUSING IS A RELATIVELY LOW IMPACT USE. LESS PARKING, LESS TRAFFIC. TRADER JOE'S, BEING A SPECIALTY GROCERY STORE IS IS GOING TO HAVE SOME AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC, BUT WE'LL GET INTO WHY THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY SORT OF OFFSETS THAT TRAFFIC FROM TRADER JOE'S, BUT IT WAS A GOOD COMPLIMENT. AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT, WHICH WE'LL ALSO TALK ABOUT, WE HAVE THE CHURCH AND THE YMCA NEXT DOOR. SO IT JUST FIT TOGETHER REALLY, REALLY WELL. I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO ALL OF THIS, BUT YES, IT HAS BEEN A COUPLE OF YEARS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS, BUT IT HASN'T BEEN A COUPLE OF YEARS ALL AT ONCE. IT'S TRULY BEEN A 2 WEEKS AT A TIME, 3 WEEKS AT A TIME PROCESS WHEREIN WE MET WITH NEIGHBORS. WE MET WITH CITY OFFICIALS AND TRIED TO TAKE AS MUCH FEEDBACK AS WE POSSIBLY COULD FROM STAKEHOLDERS IN THE COMMUNITY AND AT CITY HALL TO TRY TO IMPROVE UPON OUR PLAN, UPON THE LAYOUT AND EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE PRESENTING TONIGHT. SO OVER THE COURSE OF THAT TIME, WE'VE MADE MULTIPLE CHANGES TO THE PLAN. SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHT CHANGES THAT I'M GOING TO GET INTO AND EXPAND ON, BUT THEY INCREASE. THEY INCLUDE, OF COURSE, INCREASING THE OPEN SPACE, MAKING IT MORE PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY BY REMOVING FENCING. 1 OF THE BIG THINGS THAT WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT IS THAT WE HAVE A PROPOSAL TO IMPROVE, NOT ELIMINATE, BUT IMPROVE THE TRAFFIC FLOW ON MAJESTIC GARDENS. WE WORKED VERY HARD WITH JOEL FITTS ON THAT. AND THEN WE ALSO IMPROVED THE WALKABILITY. WE WORKED WITH THE CHURCH AND THE YMCA NEXT DOOR AND TRIED TO INCORPORATE THEIR RESPECTIVE FACILITIES INTO OUR PLAN TO IMPROVE THE WALKABILITY. SO WHY THIS SITE FOR TRADER JOE'S? WHY THIS SITE FOR US? WELL, YOU HAVE GREAT ACCESS FROM MAIN STREET AND SECONDARY ACCESS FROM MAJESTIC GARDENS. YOU HAVE GOOD VISIBILITY ON MAIN STREET. AND THEN YOU ALSO HAVE A SITE THAT IS IN PARTICULAR SITUATED BETWEEN NORTH AND SOUTH OF ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS, COMPLEMENTING BOTH OF THESE USES. TRADER JOE'S IS OBVIOUSLY, AS MANY PEOPLE KNOW, IS A VERY SOUGHT AFTER GROCERY STORE. IT'S A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD GROCERY STORE THAT MANY PEOPLE IN FRISCO THAT THEY'VE TOLD US THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING. THE SENIOR HOUSING ISN'T NECESSARILY SOMETHING THAT IS AS CATCHES AS MANY HEADLINES AS THE TRADER JOE'S. BUT NEVERTHELESS, IN FRISCO AND I PROVIDED SOME BACKUP DATA FOR THIS IN THE WORK SESSION. BUT IN THE CITY OF FRISCO, WE HAVE A POPULATION THAT IS NOT ONLY CURRENTLY NEEDS FACILITIES LIKE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BUILD, BUT AS TIME CONTINUES, THE SEGMENT OF THE POPULATION THAT WOULD QUALIFY FOR AGE RESTRICTED SENIOR HOUSING IS INCREASING AT A [00:25:09] HIGHER RATE THAN IT IS RIGHT NOW. SO EVERY YEAR THAT GOES BY, THE NEED IS GOING TO INCREASE. SO AGAIN WHY IT FITS THE GROCERY STORE NEIGHBORHOOD GROCERY STORE THAT YOU'LL SEE. WE PROVIDED AMPLE PARKING FOR. IN COMBINATION WITH A MULTIFAMILY SENIOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT THAT REQUIRES LESS THAN A TYPICAL MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT AND WOULD HAVE LESS THOROUGHFARE TRAFFIC THAN A TYPICAL MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT. THEY FIT VERY WELL TOGETHER. AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT, YOU INCORPORATE THE ADJACENT USAGES THE YMCA AND THE CHURCH. THE CHURCH HAS A SENIOR OUTREACH PROGRAM AS WELL AS A FOOD DONATION PROGRAM. TRADER JOE'S ALSO HAPPENS TO HAVE A FOOD DONATION PROGRAM AS WELL. SO THERE'S SO MANY THINGS ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT AS IT CAME INTO BEING, THEY JUST MADE SENSE. IT MADE SENSE THAT OUR RESIDENTS ARE GOING TO WANT TO WALK ACROSS THE STREET TO GO GROCERY SHOPPING. IT MADE SENSE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO WALK ACROSS THE STREET TO GO TO THE YMCA OR DO ONE OF THE OUTREACH PROGRAMS AT THE CHURCH. SO EVERYTHING CAME TOGETHER. AND THE MORE THAT WE LOOKED AT THE PLAN, THE MORE EXCITED WE BECAME. SO REAL BRIEFLY, WHEN EXAMINING WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING, YOU ALSO HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT COULD GO THERE CURRENTLY WITHOUT REZONING. THE ORIGINAL LAYOUT THAT WHEN I BECAME INVOLVED WITH THIS PLAN, THE ORIGINAL LAYOUT WAS WHAT YOU SEE UP THERE. IT WAS ABOUT 8400 0 FEET OF MIXED COMMERCIAL USE SPACE. THAT PARTICULAR USAGE WOULD HAVE PRODUCED MORE TRAFFIC. AND WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO SOME OF THE PARTICULARS. BUT ALSO THE SETBACK ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE WOULD HAVE BEEN CLOSER TO THE SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S TO THE SOUTH. SO FROM A SETBACK PERSPECTIVE, OUR, OUR BUILDING, WE DO HAVE A 3 STORY COMPONENT TO OUR BUILDING. IT'S TIERED. WE HAVE PART THREE STORY AND PART TWO STORY. BUT EVEN THE 2 STORY COMPONENT OF OUR BUILDING IS GOING TO BE 80FT BACK FROM THE SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE SOUTH. CURRENT ZONING WOULD ALLOW A SINGLE STORY COMMERCIAL SPACE AS CLOSE AS 30FT BACK. AND OUR 3 FOOT PORTION OF OUR BUILDING WILL BE 150FT BACK FROM THE SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD, AND BOTH OF THEM ARE LIMITED TO 40FT IN HEIGHT. SO WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE ACTUALLY PRODUCING A BETTER SETBACK THAN WHAT CURRENTLY WOULD BE ABLE TO BE DEVELOPED. THE BIG TAKEAWAY? OKAY, I'LL GO THROUGH THIS REALLY QUICKLY. THE BIG TAKEAWAY ON THIS IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE PRODUCING ROUGHLY 3 TIMES LESS TRAFFIC THAN WHAT COULD CURRENTLY BE PRODUCED. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE DID A VERY, VERY THOROUGH TRAFFIC STUDY, WHICH YOU HAVE A COPY OF AND WORK CLOSELY WITH JOEL FITTS TO DETERMINE AND LOOK AT TRAFFIC FROM THE SCHOOL, WHICH WE ALL HEARD ABOUT DURING THE WORK SESSION. AND I'VE TALKED TO THE NEIGHBORS ABOUT TO HELP COMBAT THAT. WE'VE ACTUALLY INCORPORATED SOME IMPROVEMENTS ALONG MAJESTIC GARDENS, WHICH SHOULD BE IN THE STAFF REPORT, BUT ARE ALSO NOTED UP HERE. AND I'M SURE JOEL CAN SPEAK MORE TO THAT. BUT WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT, SOMETHING THAT WE'RE ABLE TO OFFER THE NEIGHBORS TO HELP WITH TRAFFIC FLOW FROM THE SCHOOL. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE ALSO INCORPORATED WALKWAYS TO BOTH THE CHURCH AND THE YMCA, WORKING CLOSELY WITH BOTH OF THOSE ORGANIZATIONS. AND WE'RE VERY, VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT FOR OUR RESIDENTS. SO IN SUMMARY, WE, WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE BRINGING A VERY SOUGHT AFTER RETAILER, WHICH IS TRADER JOE'S. AND WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE ALSO PROVIDING SOMETHING THAT THE CITY AND ITS CITIZENS NEED, WHICH IS A SENIOR HOUSING COMMUNITY. WE'VE BEEN IN THIS BUSINESS FOR A LONG TIME, AND THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST LAYOUTS THAT I HAVE EVER BEEN ABLE TO BE A PART OF. IT MAKES MORE SENSE THAN ANYTHING ELSE THAT THAT I HAVE PERSONALLY DONE. I'M SURE WE'LL HAVE TIME FOR QUESTIONS. I KNOW MY TIME IS ABOUT TO INCLUDE, BUT IN SUMMARY, I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYONE AT CITY HALL. WE'VE WORKED VERY CLOSELY TOGETHER WITH JONATHAN HUBBARD, WITH JOHN LETTELLEIR EVERYBODY, THE NEIGHBORS THAT HAVE SHOWN UP, THE CHURCH AND THE YMCA, EVERYONE THAT HAS GIVEN THEIR INPUT OVER OVER TIME. WE'RE EXTRAORDINARILY APPRECIATIVE OF EVERYONE ON STAFF AND EVERY EVERY CITIZEN THAT'S SHOWN UP TO EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING AND PROVIDED COMMENTS. AND I THANK EVERYONE HERE TONIGHT FOR FOR HEARING US. AND WE HOPE YOU CONSIDER THIS FAVORABLY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. AND YOU HAD ONE SECOND. IT WAS GOOD. ALL RIGHTY. SO MOTION TO MOVE TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. MOTION BY STEVE. SECOND. SECOND BY JOHN. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. [00:30:01] AYE. ALL OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES. 5 TO 0 TO OPEN PUBLIC HEARING. AND I'VE GOT 4. IF YOU WOULD COME UP AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FIRST WILL BE ALLEN LAWRENCE, AND AFTER THAT IT WILL BE, I THINK, TRAVIS THOMPSON. OH, THAT WAS THE APPLICANT. I KNEW THAT AFTER. THAT WOULD BE DYLAN. OKAY. DO I HAVE TO DO ANYTHING TO START IT OR. JUST YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS? ALLEN LAWRENCE. I LIVE IN MAJESTIC GARDENS, JUST SOUTH OF THERE. 8500 TRIPOLI TRAIL. 75034. I'M ACTUALLY ON THE BOARD OF THE MAJESTIC GARDENS. SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND WHICH INCLUDE THE TOWNHOMES AS WELL, BUT THEY'RE A SUB ASSOCIATION OF OURS. AND THE FIRST I HAD ACTUALLY HEARD ABOUT THIS WAS, I GUESS AFTER THE NOVEMBER WORKSHOP SESSION. SO I DON'T KNOW, I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD FOR 4 YEARS AND THEY'VE NEVER APPROACHED US, BUT WE ARE IN FAVOR OF HAVING A TRADER JOE'S. WE I'VE TALKED TO THE BOARD IN THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. WE'RE ALL BIG FANS. DRIVE TO PLANO AND MCKINNEY TO GO TO THOSE ALL THE TIME. WE'RE JUST CONCERNED ABOUT THE WALKABILITY. WE DO WANT TO BE ABLE TO WALK WITH THE GROCERIES TO AND FROM US, SO WE DON'T WANT ANY GATES IMPEDING PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC. NOW FOR CAR TRAFFIC. I DON'T CARE AS MUCH, BUT PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC EASILY GETTING FROM OUR PARK AREA DOWN IN THE MAJESTIC GARDENS NEIGHBORHOOD OR UP THE SIDEWALKS AND INTO TRADER JOE'S WITHOUT WALKING THROUGH, YOU KNOW, AN ACRE OF PARKING LOTS AND STUFF WOULD BE NICE. BUT THE MAPS I JUST SAW LOOKED A LOT BETTER THAN I ENVISIONED, SO THAT'S GOOD. I THINK THE ONLY OTHER CONCERN IS THE TRAFFIC AND THE SCHOOL HAS CAUSED A LOT OF BAD TRAFFIC THERE, BUT HAVING A BETTER LEFT TURN LANE OR ALSO HAVING AN ALTERNATIVE OUT THE. THE EAST ONE BLOCK EAST IS KENTLAND DRIVE AND IT DOESN'T HAVE A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. SO IF THERE IS A PROBLEM, WE CAN ALWAYS HAVE THE CITY ADD A TRAFFIC SIGNAL OR SOMETHING LATER IN THE FUTURE OR AT LEAST A PROTECTED MEDIAN THAT YOU COULD LIKE GET ACROSS ONE DIRECTION OF TRAFFIC, WAIT, AND THEN TURN LEFT IF YOU NEEDED TO. THAT AT LEAST THOSE ARE FIXABLE PROBLEMS. I DON'T THINK IT WOULD AFFECT APPROVING THIS ITEM. YEAH, THAT'S MAINLY MY CONCERNS. BUT YEAH, IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT, FOR, FOR A LOCAL NEIGHBOR, LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU SIR. I HAVE A BILLY ECCLES RICHTER IF YOU GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS RECORD. AND IF THAT'S THE ONLY CARDS THAT WERE TURNED IN. IF SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, PLEASE COME UP AND FILL OUT A CARD. GOOD EVENING. I'M BILLY ECCLES RICHTER. I LIVE OR I WORK AT 3521 MAIN STREET IN FRISCO. I'M ALSO A RESIDENT OF FRISCO, BUT I COME TONIGHT ENTHUSIASTICALLY SUPPORTING THIS DEVELOPMENT. WE ARE THE NEIGHBORS WHO ARE IMMEDIATELY TO THE WEST. I'M ONE OF THE PASTORS AT GRACE AVENUE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, AND I ALSO COME TONIGHT REPRESENTING THE FRISCO FAMILY YMCA, WHICH IS ALSO A PART OF OUR DEVELOPMENT AS WELL. I'LL GIVE YOU JUST A BRIEF HISTORY. IN THE EARLY 2000, OUR CHURCH ACTUALLY OWNED THIS LAND THAT WAS ON MAIN STREET. AND THEN WE FOUND OUT THAT THE CITY WAS INTERESTED IN BUILDING A STREET CALLED MAJESTIC GARDENS, RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE PROPERTY THAT WE OWNED. AND SO THE CITY WAS NICE ENOUGH TO GET US INVOLVED IN A LAND SWAP. AND THAT'S HOW WE ENDED UP MOVING A FEW HUNDRED FEET TO THE WEST WHERE WE DEVELOPED AND WE HAVE DEVELOPED SINCE 2004 ON OUR PROPERTY AND THE YMCA AS WELL. AND IT'S BEEN A WONDERFUL JOINT VENTURE OVER THE YEARS. WE'VE BEEN VERY CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT WOULD GO IN IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST OF US. AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU, OF ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN PLANNED AND PROPOSED, THIS BY FAR AND AWAY, IS THE THING THAT WE ARE MOST EXCITED ABOUT AND ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT. THE DEVELOPERS WHO HAVE WORKED ON THIS, I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THEM. WE MET THEM ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. THEY HAVE BEEN COOPERATIVE. THEY ARE GREAT COMMUNICATORS AND THEY BUILD A FINE PRODUCT. AND WE JUST THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BE A GREAT ADDITION TO THE CITY OF FRISCO IN, IN THAT REGARD. WE ALSO WANT TO SAY A WORD OF APPRECIATION TO THE CITY STAFF. THEY HAVE WORKED DILIGENTLY WITH US AND ALSO WITH THE DEVELOPERS AND MAKING THIS COME ABOUT, AS YOU'VE HEARD IN THE PRESENTATION, WALKABILITY HAS BEEN A CONCERN AND WE THINK THOSE ISSUES, [00:35:04] AT LEAST FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED IN A REALLY WONDERFUL AND PURPOSEFUL WAY. AND SO ONCE AGAIN, I JUST AM HERE TONIGHT TO SAY, ON BEHALF OF GRACE AVENUE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH AND THE FRISCO FAMILY YMCA, THAT WE ENTHUSIASTICALLY SUPPORT THIS ZONING CHANGE AND THIS DEVELOPMENT PLAN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. EXCELLENT. THANK YOU. BEFORE I MAKE A MOTION, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WANTED TO SPEAK FOR THIS PUBLIC HEARING? AND I KNOW THEY HAD ALREADY GONE, BUT FOR THE RECORD, IT SHOWS THAT DYLAN AND TRAVIS BOTH WERE IN SUPPORT OF THIS. DO WE WANT TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? I MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM 26. MOTION TO CLOSE. PUBLIC HEARING. SECOND. SECOND BY MICHAEL. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES 5 TO 0 TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? LET'S START WITH WARREN DOWN HERE. I HAVE NO QUESTIONS. MOVE TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 26 AS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF. LET'S MAKE SURE NO ONE ELSE HAS QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. I ACTUALLY DO HAVE SOME COMMENTS. I KNOW, LET'S WORK DOWN SOME. I DON'T HAVE COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS. I KNOW I'M GOING TO TRY TO BE VERY SHORT WINDED. I WILL BE I'M GLAD THAT THE APPLICANT AND CITY HAVE GOTTEN ON THE SAME PAGE OF RECOMMEND FOR APPROVAL. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT JUST IT WAS ONE OF MY I DON'T GET ON SOCIAL MEDIA, BUT MY WIFE AND I THINK I NEED TO WHEN SHE HAD MORE THAN THREE PEOPLE REACH OUT TO HER, THEY SAID, HEY, IS CITY GOING TO FINALLY ALLOW TRADER JOE'S INTO THE CITY? AND SO, YOU KNOW, I TRY TO EDUCATE AND I WANT TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR IN CASE THERE'S SOMEONE HERE. THIS IN MY OPINION, THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH TRADER JOE'S. MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS ZONED COMMERCIAL AND RURAL ANGELIA MY UNDERSTANDING IF TRADER JOE'S WANTED TO COME 3 AND A HALF YEARS AGO, IT'S ZONED FOR THAT, IS THAT CORRECT? YES, IT IS PERMITTED BY RIGHT TODAY. SO THERE WAS NO STOPPING OF TRADER JOE'S. THIS WAS ZONED COMMERCIAL IF THEY WANTED TO BUILD LAST YEAR, 02, 3 YEARS AGO, THEY WERE ALLOWED TO COME. REALLY THE REASON WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT, THIS IS ACTUALLY A WHAT WE CALL A MULTI-FAMILY ZONING CASE. THERE'S A COMMERCIAL THAT'S ZONED BY RIGHT. THEY'RE WANTING TO ADD A SENIOR LIVING COMPONENT WHICH FALLS UNDER MULTI-FAMILY ZONING. AND SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE HERE TONIGHT IS GOING. ARE WE GOING TO ALLOW MULTI-FAMILY ON THIS SITE? WHEN THE APPLICANT CAME BEFORE, I THINK I AGREE THAT THIS IS A GREAT SITE WITH A MIXED USE COMMERCIAL BY. RIGHT. AND THE QUESTION IS, DOES IT ALLOW FOR MULTIFAMILY? I THINK IT DOES FIT HERE. STAFF APPLICANT HAVE WORKED TO GET WHERE WE ARE TODAY. I'M HAPPY WITH IT AND EXCITED TO SEE THIS GO FORWARD. I WOULD BE IN SUPPORT OF IT. THANK YOU STEVE. JUST A COUPLE QUESTIONS. ANDRE, CAN YOU PULL UP THE THE SLIDE THAT SHOWS THE OPEN SPACE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DEVELOPMENT. THANK YOU. AND CAN YOU JUST IDENTIFY THE CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE REGARDING THAT OPEN SPACE IN BETWEEN THE 2 USES. SO PREVIOUSLY THE SENIOR LIVING COMPONENT WAS BEING GATED AND WOULD PUT A FENCE HALFWAY THROUGH THE OPEN SPACE. THIS IS FROM MEMORY. IT'S BEEN A WHILE. AND SO WITH OUR ZONING ORDINANCE, WE DO REQUIRE THE OPEN SPACE TO BE CENTRALLY LOCATED AND BE AVAILABLE TO THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT. SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WERE OUR STICKING POINT THAT WE FELT LIKE THE FENCING WOULD SEPARATE THE 2 DEVELOPMENTS AND WOULD NOT MEET THE INTENT OF KEEPING THE WALKABILITY OF THIS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. THANK YOU. I UNDERSTAND THAT WE REQUIRE 10% OPEN SPACE ON ALL COMMERCIAL PROJECTS LIKE THIS. YES, THAT IS CORRECT. YEAH. SO FOR THE RECORD, A LOT OF BIG BOXES, MEDIUM BOXES, COMMERCIAL PLACES ARE SURPRISED WHEN THEY COME TO FRISCO AND FIND OUT THAT THEY HAVE TO INCLUDE USABLE OPEN SPACE, NOT JUST WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE CALL A GREEN BAND, BUT USABLE OPEN SPACE THAT PEOPLE CAN EASILY ACCESS. SOMETIMES A PARK. A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT THINGS. SO PAY ATTENTION WHEN YOU GO AROUND TO DIFFERENT STORES AND DIFFERENT COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES, YOU'LL SEE HOW FRISCO KIND OF DRESSES THEM UP AND MAKES THEM MORE USABLE FOR THE PEOPLE THERE. AND THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION THEN FOR ROLANDREA, IF YOU COULD ANSWER THIS, GREAT. IF NOT, WE CAN ASK JOEL THE QUESTION. THE THE PERSON EARLIER JUST ASKED ABOUT THEM MAKING SURE THEY CAN WALK UP MAJESTIC GARDENS FROM THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD TO KIND OF GET BACK AND FORTH. IT'S PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. BUT JOEL, IF YOU WANT TO HIGHLIGHT TO THEM, MAKE IT CLEAR THAT'S GOING TO BE VERY EASY FOR THEM TO DO THAT. YES. SO MAJESTIC GARDENS BEING A PUBLIC STREET, IT'S GOING TO MAINTAIN A WIDE SIDEWALK ALONG THE STREET. SO, YOU KNOW, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO WALK BACK AND FORTH ALONG MAJESTIC GARDENS, NO HINDRANCE BY ANYTHING. WHATEVER IS DEVELOPED ON THE ON THE SENIOR LIVING WILL NOT IMPACT THE ABILITY FOR PEOPLE TO WALK UP AND DOWN MAJESTIC GARDENS UP TO THE TRADER JOE'S WITH NO PROBLEM. [00:40:02] THANK YOU JOEL. AND JUST, CAN YOU ALSO HIGHLIGHT WHERE THEY CAN THEN GO INTO THE OPEN SPACE TO GET INTO THE THE PROPERTY THERE? YES. LET ME SEE. AND THEN MAYBE AS IT GOES TO THE WEST, TO THE CHURCH. SO HERE'S THE, THE ROUTE INTO THE OPEN SPACE. AND THEN THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE SENIOR LIVING HAVE A, HAVE A ROUTE THAT GOES THIS WAY TO GET TO THE TRADER JOE'S FRONT ENTRY. IF YOU WANT TO SHOW LIKE WHERE PEOPLE WILL BE WALKING TO HERE, JOEL ON HERE, JUST TO GIVE AN IDEA AS TO THE, THE FRONT, THE ENTRANCE TO THE TRADER JOE'S IS OVER HERE. AND THAT TRAIL IN THE MIDDLE CONTINUES TO THE WEST ALL THE WAY TO THE CHURCH. CORRECT? OH, YES. THE CAN YOU DRAW ON THAT LINE THAT YOU WERE DRAWING? THIS ISN'T THE BEST EXHIBIT FOR THAT. WHERE IT GOES ONCE IT GETS PAST HERE. BUT YES, THAT THAT TRAIL GOES TO THERE. YEAH, WE'RE SORRY, BUT WE DON'T HAVE PEOPLE FROM THAT AUDIENCE SPEAKING. YEAH. BUT WE'LL I'M HAPPY TO STAY AFTER AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. YEAH. YEAH. WELL STAFF ALWAYS WILL BE AVAILABLE AFTER THE MEETING WILL BE AVAILABLE AFTER THE MEETING TO KIND OF ANSWER SOME MORE TECHNICAL DETAILS. AND DOWN AT THE SOUTHERN JOEL, DOWN WHERE THE FIRE LANE IS, THAT'S CONNECTING OVER TO THE CHURCH. YES. CAN YOU ADD THAT INTO THIS, THIS LOVELY DRAWING HERE? THIS RIGHT HERE. SO THERE'S A VEHICULAR CONNECTION HERE. THIS CONNECTION THOUGH HOWEVER WILL BE EMERGENCY ACCESS ONLY. THERE WILL BE A GATE ACROSS THAT ONE BECAUSE THAT'S EMERGENCY ACCESS ONLY. AND JOEL ON THE VEHICULAR, YOU'RE SAYING THAT THERE'S 3 DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET OUT OF THE TRADER JOE'S TO KIND OF BREAK UP THE TRAFFIC. YES. SO LET ME CLEAR. I'M NOT THE BEST WITH THIS. HOW DO YOU CLEAR IT? THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. SO THEY HAVE A DRIVEWAY ON MAIN STREET WHERE TRAFFIC CAN TURN IN. OOPS. IS THAT A RIGHT IN? RIGHT OUT. NO, IT'S GOT TO MEET. WELL, I'M STILL NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING. WHAT IS WRONG? I THOUGHT YOU WAS AN ENGINEER. NO, NOT A COMPUTER ENGINEER. YOU'RE SURROUNDED BY ENGINEERS. THERE IT GOES. ALL RIGHT, SO YOU CAN TURN RIGHT IN OR LEFT IN AND RIGHT IN AND LEFT OUT OF THAT ENTRANCE THERE. AND THEN, OF COURSE TRAFFIC CAN COME DOWN HERE AND GET IN. IT'S ANOTHER WAY IN, BUT IT'S LESS CONVENIENT THAN JUST SIMPLY TURNING OFF OF MAIN STREET. AND THEN THERE'S ALSO CROSS ACCESS THROUGH THE CHURCH'S PARKING LOT TO GET OVER TO THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT KAISER WAY. SO THOSE ARE THE VARIOUS WAYS IN AND OUT OF THE TRADER JOE'S AND MAJESTIC GARDENS. TRAFFIC SIGNAL ALSO THERE, THERE IS AN EXISTING TRAFFIC SIGNAL HERE? YES. SO YOU HAVE 2 DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. YOU CAN GO EAST OR WEST TO GET OUT OF THE TRADER JOE'S AND TURN USING THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL, IF YOU PREFER THAT. YES. OKAY. THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THE APPLICANT AND THE STAFF WORKED ON TO GET THE SITE TO WHERE IT IS TODAY. THAT'S ALL I HAD. ALL RIGHT. I DON'T WANT TO TAKE. CAN I SEAN MY TURN? JOE, DON'T GO FAR, PLEASE. SO REAL QUICK, WHEN I MOVED HERE IN 2008, I REMEMBER GOING TO FRISCO ONLINE AND SOME OF THE COMMENTS BACK THEN WERE WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET TRADER JOE'S? AND THAT WAS ALMOST 20 YEARS AGO. IT'S GETTING PRETTY CLOSE TO THAT. IT'S AMAZING IT'S TAKEN THIS LONG, BUT I'M GLAD IT'S COMING. I LOOK THROUGH THE PACKET TODAY. THERE'S 140 COMMENTS. 140 SHEETS OF COMMENTS FROM THE NEIGHBORS AND THE CITIZENS. I'D SAY OVER 95% OF THEM ARE IN FAVOR OF THIS, WHICH IS HUGE. WE USUALLY DON'T SEE BIG DEVELOPMENTS LIKE THIS WITH THAT MUCH SUPPORT. SO IT'S REALLY GREAT THAT THE COMMUNITY'S COME OUT FOR THAT. JOEL, I KNOW EARLY ON ONE OF THE ISSUES WAS, OF COURSE, WITH THE SCHOOL TRAFFIC AND EVERYTHING. BUT IN READING THE THE TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY AND TALKING WITH THE DEVELOPER, REALLY THEIR PEAK HOURS ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE SCHOOL HOURS. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT A LITTLE BIT JUST TO EASE THE. YES. SO WE WE HAD THEM DO A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS BECAUSE OF THE CONCERNS ABOUT THE NEIGHBORING SCHOOL. THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS. 1 IS THAT THE, THE GROCERY STORES TRAFFIC IS SPREAD OUT OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY AND SCHOOL TRAFFIC IS CONCENTRATED. EVERYBODY HAS TO BE THERE BY 745 IN THE MORNING AND EVERYBODY IS RELEASED, YOU KNOW, AT 3, 03:50 OR WHATEVER, 2 DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE AFTERNOON. SO IT'S VERY CONCENTRATED AT 2 TIME PERIODS. SO THE 2 DON'T REALLY OVERLAP AND EXACERBATE EACH OTHER BECAUSE THEY HAVE DIFFERENT OPERATIONS. SO FOR INSTANCE THE SCHOOL TRAFFIC IS BUSY BETWEEN 7 A.M. AND 8 A.M. AND THE TRADER JOE'S DOESN'T EVEN OPEN UNTIL 8 A.M.. SO PEOPLE MIGHT BE JUST ARRIVING THE FIRST EARLY CUSTOMERS, THEY WON'T BE LEAVING WITH ALL THE SCHOOL TRAFFIC. SAME THING. THE SCHOOL'S BUSY TRAFFIC IN THE AFTERNOON IS LIKE FROM THREE LIKE 3:45 TO 04:45. AND THE TRADER JOE'S PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC IS LIKE 11 A.M. TO 1 P.M.. AND THEN AGAIN AFTER 4:00 TO 7 P.M., THOSE TIME PERIODS JUST DON'T OVERLAP THE PEAK PERIODS OF EACH ONE. [00:45:08] AND OF COURSE, AGAIN, THE TRADER JOE'S JUST DOESN'T HAVE THAT SAME AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC EVER CONCENTRATED AT ONE TIME. THEY'LL BE LIKE 2 SHIPS PASSING IN THE NIGHT OR EVEN KNOW IT. EXCELLENT. AND THEN DELIVERIES WILL BE MADE ON THE WESTERN DRIVEWAY OFF OF MAIN STREET TO GET BACK TO THE LOADING DOCK. CORRECT. WE WON'T EVEN GO ON TO GARDEN. CORRECT? RIGHT. WE MADE SURE THAT THE RADII AND EVERYTHING WORKED FOR A TRUCK TO BE ABLE TO. I'M NOT DRAWING VERY WELL TO GET BACK INTO HERE WITHOUT EVER HAVING TO USE MAJESTIC GARDENS. EXCELLENT. ALL RIGHTY. CAN I HAVE JOEL JUST HIGHLIGHT THAT OTHER THE TURN LANE CHANGE THAT YOU GUYS MADE ON MAJESTIC GARDENS? THAT WAS THE MAIN THING I MEANT TO ASK ABOUT EARLIER. SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S SHOWN VERY WELL HERE, BUT MAJESTIC GARDENS IS A DIVIDED ROADWAY. SO RIGHT HERE THERE'S 1 LANE SOUTH AND 1 LANE NORTH. AND BY NARROWING UP THIS MEDIAN RIGHT HERE, WE CAN GET 2 LANES NORTHBOUND, WHICH WILL HELP WITH THE SCHOOL TRAFFIC TO HELP CLEAR IT FASTER SO THAT IF ANY TRAFFIC FROM TRADER JOE'S WANTS TO USE MAJESTIC GARDENS THE SCHOOL TRAFFIC WON'T BE AS BAD AS IT CURRENTLY IS BECAUSE THEY'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE 2 LANES GOING NORTH AND CLEAR OUT FASTER AND NOT NOT QUEUE UP AS MUCH AT THE SIGNAL. GOOD STUFF. GREAT. THANK YOU. THE LAST THING I WANTED TO SAY WAS THAT, YOU KNOW, AFTER THE LAST WORK COMMITTEE OR THE WORK SESSION WORK SESSION A LOT OF PEOPLE CONTACTED ME AND WERE REALLY UPSET THAT. OH, WHY AREN'T YOU APPROVING THIS? WHY IS BIG BAD FRISCO NOT? I MEAN, WE HAD SOME MINOR COMMENTS, YOU KNOW, WITH THE PEDESTRIAN ACCESSIBILITY AND WITH SOME OF THE SOME OF THE OTHER ISSUES THAT THE FENCING AND THAT'S ALL BEEN BEEN FIXED. SO ALL MY QUESTIONS AND ALL MY CONCERNS HAVE BEEN 100% MET BY THE DEVELOPERS. SO I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU GUYS HAVE DONE AND I APPRECIATE ALL THE HARD WORK BY THE CITY. SO IF THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION MOVE TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 26 IS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF. MOTION BY WARREN. SECOND. SECOND BY JOHN. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES 5-0. CONGRATULATIONS. YOU HAVE A TRADER JOE'S [APPLAUSE] AND A SENIOR CENTER. ALL RIGHTY. NEXT WE HAVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 27, PUBLIC HEARING ZONING 4 CORNERS Z-25-0013. [Public Hearing - Zoning: Four Corners (Z25-0013)] OWNER. MULTIPLE OWNERS. THANK YOU, CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION. SO THE REQUEST FOR YOU ALL THIS EVENING IS TO AMEND THE EXISTING PLAN DEVELOPMENT. SO WHEN THIS PLAN DEVELOPMENT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2016, A BIG PART OF THE CONCERNS AND THE DIRECTION AND JUST THE OUTLOOK OF IT IS TO HAVE THE BUILDINGS BANNED, THE OPEN SPACE AND MAKE DO OF THE OPEN SPACE. AND SO THE REQUEST THIS EVENING IS TO UPDATE THE EXHIBIT TO REMOVE RESTAURANTS. IF I COULD GET THERE TO REMOVE RESTAURANTS THAT FRONTS ONTO THE OPEN SPACE TO REPLACE IT WITH A FITNESS CENTER. THE ITEM BEFORE YOU ALL THIS EVENING ALSO HAS SOME CLEANUP MODIFICATIONS THAT ARE NOT BEING UTILIZED BY THE APPLICANT. THAT HAS BEEN DETAILED IN THE PD AND THE STANDARDS BEFORE YOU ALL THIS EVENING, WE ARE ENSURING THAT THE FITNESS CENTER DOES MAKE USE OF THE OPEN SPACE AND MEETS THE INTENT OF THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT. THERE IS ALSO AN OUTDOOR SPACE THAT'S BEING PROVIDED, I BELIEVE, ON THE SECOND OR THIRD STORY THAT WILL OVERLOOK THE LANDSCAPE AREA AS WAS PREVIOUSLY INTENDED. SO CURRENTLY ONE OF THE MAJOR CHANGES IS CHANGING THE RESTAURANT GREEN STANDARDS TO THE PERSONAL SERVICE STANDARDS TO ACCOMMODATE THE FITNESS CENTER. EXCUSE ME. SO THOSE ARE THE HIGH LEVEL BIG CHANGES THAT ARE IN THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT. THERE IS ALSO THE REQUEST TO REMOVE THE PET CLINIC FROM THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT THAT'S DETAILED IN THE EXHIBIT BEFORE YOU ALL THIS EVENING. AND SO STAFF IS IN FAVOR OF THIS REQUEST. WE DID SEND THE NECESSARY NOTICES TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS AND AS OF DATE, HAVE NOT REQUEST ANY LETTERS OF OBJECTIONS. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. DOES THE APPLICANT HERE? DO THEY WANT TO SPEAK? OKAY, EXCELLENT. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM 27. MOTION BY JOHN. SECOND. SECOND BY STEVE. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED?
