[00:00:10]
ORDER. ROLL CALL. KELLY RICHARDSON HERE, BARBARA FULLER. NO. JOSHUA RENDON. NO. RYAN BANNISTER. NO. LISA D'S HERE. COLEMAN REED HERE. DAVID GRAY PRESENT. I THINK WITH A MISS FRANK THANK YOU, LORD, FOR THIS DAY. DO THIS. HELP US MAKE A GOOD DECISION FOR OUR CITY AND.SEE WHAT WE CAN DO OUR JOBS. AMEN. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS. ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. SO OPEN UP WITH OUR CITIZEN PARTICIPATION, PARTICIPATION, AND PUBLIC INPUT.
ANYBODY GOT ANYTHING WANT TO TALK ABOUT? OKAY. NO. SO WE'LL GO TO CONSIDERATION FOR THE
[CONSENT AGENDA]
ACTION TO APPROVE MINUTES FROM THE 115, 2026 REGULAR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING.WE WANT TO DO THAT ONE. I'LL. SO SECOND, SECOND, SECOND FOLLOW THROUGH. RAISE YOUR
[NEW BUSINESS]
RIGHT HAND. OKAY. NEW BUSINESS, PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION WITH THE ACTION RELATED TO THE ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE CITY OF ALVARADO, INCLUDING THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN AND PARK MASTER PLAN. OKAY. COMMISSION MEMBERS HAVE RUN THROUGH A. WE HAVE AN EXCITING ITEM TONIGHT, SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE PLAN TOGETHER FOR A WHILE NOW.AND IT'S HERE NOW FOR THE ADOPTION PROCESS. SO IT'S ALL COME TOGETHER. IT'S BEEN POSTED ONLINE FOR PUBLIC REVIEW. AND SO I GOT FIVE MINUTES VERY QUICKLY. AND THEN IF YOU WANT TO CIRCLE BACK TO IT AND THEN. MAKE TWO POINTS. SO. SO THIS PROJECT WAS FUNDED BY A GRANT THROUGH THE. AND IT WAS IT DOES HAVE CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS. SO THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS IN THE PLAN THAT ARE NOT TYPICAL, BUT THEY ARE APPROPRIATE COMPLIANT. SO JUST AS A NOTE ON THIS PROJECT, THE LAST UPDATE ON THE POSSIBLE 2017 PARKS AND RETINOSCOPY IN 2017, THERE WAS NO DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN AND THE CITY HAS EXPERIENCED GROWTH SINCE 2017, DURING WHICH TIME.
SO THESE ARE THE CHAPTERS OF REQUIREMENTS. SO FOR THE COMPLIANCE FOR THE GRANT, WE HAD TO STRUCTURE IT LIKE THIS AS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND THEN THE APPENDICES ARE THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN AND THE PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN. SO IT'S THREE PLANS AND ONE. BUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS THE OVERALL FRAMEWORK. THEN WE HAVE THE TWO MORE DETAILED PLANS. SO WE DID START THIS PROCESS IN APRIL 2025. WE HAD THREE COMMUNITY FORUMS WHICH WE'VE GOT A LOT OF GREAT FEEDBACK. WE ALSO HAVE THE DOWNTOWN STAKEHOLDERS WORKSHOP, SO WE'VE HAD A LOT OF INPUT THROUGH THE PROCESS. THIS IS OUR PLANNING AREA THAT INCLUDES THE CITY LIMITS AND THE ECJ, WHICH IS THE EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION. AND IT'S A IT'S A PRETTY LARGE AREA. SO THIS IS WHERE WE PLANNED. AND THEN THIS IS THE PROJECT WEBSITE IS STILL UP PLAN OPERATOR.COM. SO WE'VE HAD A LOT OF DIFFERENT ENGAGEMENT PARTNERS THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS AND HAS INTERACTIVE PLANNING MAPS WHERE PEOPLE CAN DROP CERTAIN COMMENTS AND HAVE DISCUSSIONS ON THEM. SO WE USE THAT IN PLANNING AS WELL. WE HAD COMMUNITY SURVEYS ABOUT GREAT CERTIFICATIONS, AND NUMBER ONE STRENGTH IS THE EVENTS AND FESTIVALS. NUMBER ONE, WEAKNESS, ROAD TRAFFIC MOBILITY. EVER HEARD OF 6735 EMAIL WAS HOT TOPICS AND THEN OPPORTUNITIES. LOTS OF IDEAS FOR PLACES TO SHOP AND THINGS TO EAT. AND THEN JUST IF WE DON'T TACKLE THE ROAD TRAFFIC MOBILITY CAN REALLY NOT DO IT. COMMUNITY FORUM ONE VERY SUCCESSFUL IN APRIL OF LAST YEAR. SO WE WENT THROUGH MOBILITY PRIORITIES AND DOWNTOWN FEEDBACK AND GOT SOME REALLY GOOD, JUST OPEN ENDED BRAINSTORMING THE DOWNTOWN
[00:05:02]
STAKEHOLDERS WORKSHOP. WE FINALIZED THE BOUNDARY OF DOWNTOWN, WHICH IS A KEY OUTCOME OF A DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN, IS JUST FIGURING OUT WHERE DOWNTOWN IS. SO A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK IT'S JUST A SQUARE, BUT IT'S REALLY YOU NEED RESIDENTIAL COMPONENTS. IT'S NOT JUST COMMERCIAL AREAS THAT SHOULD BE IN THE DOWNTOWN. AND THEN THEY EACH HAVE THEIR OWN LITTLE IDENTITIES. SO WE HAD A GREAT TIME TALKING THROUGH THAT IN DOWNTOWN STAKEHOLDERS WORKSHOP. COMMUNITY FORUM TWO WAS IN JUNE. OVER THE SUMMER, WE HAD SOME VISUAL PREFERENCE SURVEY WHERE PEOPLE COULD LIKE OR DISLIKE CERTAIN THINGS. WE TALKED ABOUT DOWNTOWN ARCHITECTURE. WE HAD TO DESIGN THEIR OWN CARS. WE TALKED ABOUT HOUSING, VERY KEY TOPICS THAT ENDED UP IN THE PLAN. AND THEN WE HAD A ZOOM TOWN HALL FOR OUR COMMUNITY FORUM THREE. SO THAT WAS A REALLY DIFFERENT FORMAT FOR PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE IN AND FOUND A LOT OF VIEWS AND WHATNOT LIVE. AND AFTER, YOU KNOW, JUST RECORDED. SO THESE ARE THE OVERALL FEEDBACK THEMES, JUST INFRASTRUCTURE, INCREASED RECREATIONAL AMENITIES, INCREASED RESTAURANTS, RETAIL, BEAUTIFICATION AND LANDSCAPING, REVITALIZED DOWNTOWN USING THE LOCAL FEEL AS MUCH AS WE CAN, VISION GUIDING PRINCIPLES, WHAT THEY REPRESENT, THEIR GOAL POSTS THAT WE USE TO DRAFT THE PLAN AND GOALPOST MOVING FORWARD AS WE ARE DOING THE DECISION MAKING. THINKING ABOUT REZONING, REQUEST THE DIFFERENT POLICIES. THESE WERE APPROVED THROUGH THE SUBMISSION PROCESS AND BY CITY COUNCIL OVER THE SUMMER, AS YOU CAN SEE THEM THERE. AND THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT WE USE THROUGHOUT THE PLANS TO FRAME EACH OF THE SECTIONS. ECONOMIC AND FISCAL VITALITY. THIS IS OUR TRADE AREA. WHAT'S INTERESTING HERE IN ALVARADO IS WE FOUND THAT PEOPLE WERE DRIVING US 45 MINUTES TO SEND MONEY. AND SO SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, IN LIKE DALLAS COUNTY OR ALBANY COUNTY, PEOPLE WON'T DRIVE LONGER THAN 20 MINUTES TYPICALLY. BUT OUR TRADE AREA HERE IS PRETTY LARGE PEOPLE COMING IN AND PEOPLE HEADING OUT. SO IT'S AN INTERESTING THING. PEOPLE ARE HEADING ALL THE WAY TO THE WATER TAXI IN WACO AND DOWNTOWN FORT WORTH FOR A SATURDAY NIGHT. AND SO IT WAS A VERY FAST MOVING AREA. ALVARADO HAD A POTENTIAL TO CAPTURE SOME OF THAT HERE. WORKFORCE FEEDBACK. THE STRONG PRESENCE OF BLUE COLLAR OCCUPATIONS. THERE'S RECREATION AND ENTERTAINMENT CENTERS HAPPENING, AND THEN APPROXIMATELY 70% OF ALVARADO RESIDENTS COMMUTE OUT OF THE CITY DAILY, LOSING ASSOCIATED WORKFORCE AND DATA SCIENCE BUILDING SO LOCAL JOBS TO BE IN TO CAPTURE SOME OF THAT FUNDING HOUSING. THERE WAS A FULL HOUSING STUDY AS PART OF THE GRANT THAT WAS FOCUSED ON THE CITY WITH ITS OWN PLANNING AREA, BUT AN ADDITIONAL 7200 HOUSING UNITS ARE ESTIMATED WITHIN THE NEXT TEN YEARS. SO THERE IS MORE GROWTH COMING. SOME OF THE OTHER AREAS IN THE NORTH TEXAS, IN NORTH TEXAS ARE EXPERIENCING MUCH MORE GROWTH THAN THAT. AND ALVARADO, SOME OF THE LIMITATIONS ARE GASOLINE PIPELINES. AND THEN ALSO THE AVAILABILITY OF WATER. SO, YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE SOME NATURAL GROWTH CONSTRAINTS THAT SOME OTHER TEAMS MIGHT NOT HAVE.THESE ARE OUR KEY DIFFERENTIATORS. THE REGIONAL ACCESS, RECREATION, PROXIMITY, OPPORTUNITY FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IN DOWNTOWN ALVARADO. ECONOMIC AND PHYSICAL VITALITY. THESE ARE THE STRATEGIES THAT HAVE GOALS UNDER EACH ONE, BUT THEY CAN SUPPORT THE GROWTH OF NEW, DIVERSE BUSINESSES. INVESTING IN RECRUITMENT AND ACTIVITIES THAT ENHANCE DOWNTOWN ALVARADO, BUILD A SKILLED LOCAL WORKFORCE, AND THEN STRENGTHEN OUR FISCAL FOUNDATIONS THROUGH SMART GROWTH, RECREATION, INVESTMENT, AND FOR RESIDENTS. STRATEGIC GROWTH THE ESTIMATED PLANNING AREA POPULATION TODAY IS ABOUT 12,000, AND THEN IT HAS ABOUT 4000 HOUSEHOLDS. AND THEN 2045. IT COULD BE AS LARGE AS 36,000. THERE'S A LOT THAT THAT DEPENDS ON THAT. 2045 HAS A CRYSTAL BALL, RIGHT. SO WE USED A VERY CONSERVATIVE RATE OF GROWTH BECAUSE OF THE GASOLINE AVAILABILITY OF WATER. BUT YOU KNOW, IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE MARKET AND A LOT OF COMMENTS. IN TEXAS IN GENERAL. IT IS PRETTY UNRESTRAINED GROWTH FROM A CITY PERSPECTIVE. HERE'S OUR GAS WELLS AND PIPELINES. SO WHEN I TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE PROBLEMS OF THAT, WE ARE IN THE BARNETT SHALE. YOU CAN SEE WE CAN'T PUT STRUCTURES ON TOP OF GAS WELLS. WE CAN'T PUT STRUCTURES ON TOP OF PIPELINES. SO IT DOES INFLUENCE THE PLANNING OF ALVARADO. THIS IS A KEY OUTCOME. I THINK THROUGHOUT THE PLANNING PROCESS, THIS WASN'T SOMETHING THAT WAS REALLY ON THE CITY'S RADAR BEFORE THE PLANNING PROCESS
[00:10:04]
STARTED, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT DEFINITELY IS A CONSIDERATION. AND ALSO SIMULTANEOUSLY ROADS AND PROCESSES. SO WE HAVE STRATEGIC GROWTH BROKEN DOWN INTO WATER AND WASTEWATER DRAINAGE AND STORMWATER ENERGY AND SANITIZING FACILITIES, COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES, AND THEN RESILIENCE ASSOCIATION. SO EACH ONE OF THOSE HAS STRATEGIES UNDERNEATH IT. I MEAN, ACTIONS UNDERNEATH IT. BUT THE GOAL IS TO HAVE A REALLY STRONG AND RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK THAT CAN REALLY WITHIN THE TEST OF TIME.BY THE SYSTEM. SO IT CONCLUDES OUR FUTURE LAND USE PLAN, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH BEING ON C AND D WITH REZONING REQUEST, BUT THIS IS OUR DRAFT FUTURE LAND USE PLAN. THERE IS AN UPDATE TO YOUR LAST SLIDE UP THERE WITH SOME PURPLE AND SOME KIND OF MORE OF AN INDUSTRIAL AREA. SO WE WERE JUST TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE WHAT SOME OF THEM AND WHAT'S ALREADY COMING IN. BUT YOU CAN SEE ALL THE DIFFERENT COLORS THERE. I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH EACH ONE. SO FLOODPLAIN IN NATURE, PRETTY SELF-EXPLANATORY. BUT WE DO HAVE LIKE WE DO HAVE FLOODPLAINS AND OPERATORS, WHICH IS CONSERVING THOSE NATURAL AREAS, EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS, NOT PLANNING ON ANYTHING PAINTING IN THAT REGARD. SO THE DEFINITION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH FEW HOMES TAKING ACCESS ON THOSE SHARED ROADS. SO, YOU KNOW, YOU JUST HAVE TO DEFINE IT. AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THOSE CHANGES.
THE LAKE AREA. SO KIND OF LOW DENSITY, IT SHOULD FEEL RELAXED AND SCENIC AND HAPPY, OUTDOOR ORIENTED. SO TO KIND OF PRESERVE THE VIEWS AND STRENGTHEN TRAIL CONNECTIONS, BUT REALLY INTENDING IT TO BE MORE OF A RURAL, RELAXED VIBE OUT THERE. SO THAT'S ITS OWN DISTRICT. AND THEN MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITY. WE JUST ANTICIPATE SEEING HOW THOSE AREAS FILL IN THE DEVELOPMENT MARKET RIGHT NOW. YOU KNOW, THERE'S GOING TO BE HOMES AND INTEGRATED AMENITY CENTERS AND PARKS. AND SO WE'VE GOT SOME PRINCIPLES IN THERE ON HOW THEY SHOULD BE DESIGNED. DOWNTOWN IS WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, BUT IT FOLLOWS THE DOWNTOWN MASTERPLAN.
SO THERE'S A WHOLE CHAPTER ON DOWNTOWN, BUT OVERALL, REALLY LOOKING TO MAKE AN ACTIVE DESTINATION WALKABLE AND ALSO HAVE A MIX OF RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL CLEARLY SUPPORT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS IS PEOPLE REALLY FOCUS ON SHOPPING AND EATING DOWNTOWN, RIGHT? LIKE WE NEED MORE SHOPS AND EATING WELL. THE WAY TO DO THAT IS ALMOST LIKE A FORMULA IN THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY. YOU ACTUALLY NEED HOUSING DOWNTOWN OF DIFFERENT TYPES. SO LOW SCALE MULTIFAMILY, MAYBE TOWNHOMES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THAT REALLY HELPS SUPPORT THE COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES. SO WHEN IT'S, IF A PROJECT COMES THROUGH, REALLY, WE NEED TO THINK OF IT THAT WAY. IF IT'S DOWNTOWN AND IT'S SOME SORT OF DIFFERENT TYPE OF HOUSING THAT WE DON'T HAVE, AND IT'S THE RIGHT SCALE AND THE DESIGN IS GREAT. JUST THINK OF IT LIKE, THIS IS HOW WE DO THINGS. RESTAURANTS, THIS IS HOW WE SHOP PEOPLE WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF DOWNTOWN. SO YOU COULD MIX USE THAT TO OUR C 67 CORRIDORS AND TO BUFFER MASTERPIECE AMENITIES FROM A HIGHER INTENSITY. USAGE LIKE THIS IS JUST YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE. RETAIL CAN HAVE SOME RESIDENTIAL COMPONENTS, BUT VERY SMALL SCALE COMMERCIAL USE. INNOVATION IS THE AREA JUST EAST OF DOWNTOWN, BUT IT CAN BE MODERN LIKE SPACE, KIND OF THINK IT'S ORIENTED, REALLY THINKING ABOUT USAGE THAT DON'T NEED FRONTAGE, RIGHT? SO A RESTAURANT OR A SHOP, YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE VISIBILITY FROM THE STREET, BUT OFFICE OR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TYPE USES OR CLEAN INDUSTRIAL USES, YOU DON'T NEED FRONTAGE FOR THOSE. SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THIS IS. AND THE INTERACTION BETWEEN BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT AND EDUCATION. OKAY. THANK YOU. COVERAGE. LET'S THIS IS KIND OF YOUR TRADITIONAL INDUSTRIAL TYPE HISTORY. SO THIS IS, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENTS AND THEN SOME AREAS FOR NEW INDUSTRIAL AS WELL. AND THEN REGIONAL MIXED USE, REALLY TRYING TO CAPITALIZE OFF THE 35 FRONTAGE. THIS IS WHERE IF YOU DO HAVE MULTI-FAMILY COME IN, THIS WOULD BE THE MOST APPROPRIATE PLACE WHERE COMMUNITY FELT THE LEAST PROTECTED, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. SO, YOU KNOW, GOOD ACCESS TO 35. IT'S NOT GOING TO IMPACT 67 AS MUCH AS IT'S OVER ON 35. AND IT CAN REALLY HELP DIVERSIFY THE CITY'S REVENUES
[00:15:02]
AND PROVIDE LOCAL HOUSING. SO LOOK AT THESE AND THEN MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN. HERE'S YOUR MOBILITY PRIORITIES. SO THOSE BOTTOM TWO WERE TIED FOR THE THIRD. SO NUMBER ONE FIX TRAFFIC RIGHT. NUMBER TWO WAS RECREATION FOR PEOPLE LOOKING FOR MORE TRAILS. AND THEN THREE WAS PLACEMAKING AND HEALTH AND SAFETY. SO HERE'S OUR DRAFT MASTER PLAN. MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN. THIS HAS SOME MAJOR COMPONENTS. THIS HAS NEW ROADWAYS. IT HAS A COMPLETE SPUR LOOP. SO WE HIGHLIGHTED THAT HERE. THESE ALIGNMENTS HAVE BEEN PLANNED FOR MANY YEARS. SO WHAT WE DID WAS JUST CONNECT THE CDC SEGMENTS. AND THAT WAY IT HAS THE ABILITY TO KEEP TRAFFIC OUT OF 35 AND 67 ENTIRELY. SO IT'S, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT REGIONAL TRAFFIC COMING THROUGH, THEY WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO JUST ZIP ONTO THE LOOP AND THEN HEAD NORTH.OR IS IT WANT TO LOOP AND HEAD SOUTH AND REALLY TRY TO RELIEVE THAT CONGESTION AT OUR MOST, OUR BUSIEST INTERSECTION? SO THAT'S A REALLY KEY OUTCOME OF THIS PLAN DEVELOPMENT. OKAY.
IT'S THE TOP PART OF THAT. 917 I CAN'T SEE THAT. NO, IT'S. 604604604644 AND AGAIN, A LOT OF THESE ALIGNMENTS HAVE BEEN PLANNED FOR FOR MANY YEARS. AND WE JUST KIND OF CONNECTED THE DOTS AND THEN SEE THE SAME SEGMENTS. SO WE DID ADD SOME OTHER NETWORK WHERE IT WAS MISSING. FOR EXAMPLE, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE CUTTING THROUGH ON PROTOCOLS, YOU KNOW, OVER THERE OFF THE NORTHWEST SECTOR. WELL, THAT'S GOING THROUGH AN EXISTING RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS. SO THAT'S NOT REALLY AN ULTIMATE CONDITION. SO YOU CAN SEE ARMADILLO DRIVE THERE HAS BEEN ADDED SO THAT WHEN FUTURE DEVELOPMENT COMES IN, THEY'LL COMPLETE THAT SPUR IS ENHANCED TO 67 IN A MORE PROPER ALTERNATE CONFIGURATION. BUT WE DID CHOOSE SOME TEXAS THEMED NAMES BECAUSE ALVARADO IS TEXAN. FIRST WE WE ABSORBED THROUGH THE PLANNING PROCESS, SO YOU'LL SEE SOME TEXAS THEMING IN THERE WITH THE MAIN BUILDING. OKAY, SO CHARACTER FRAMEWORK IS IS DETERMINING PLAN. MOBILITY FRAMEWORK IS YOUR MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN AND THEN DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS. WE HAVE A LIST OF POLICIES IN THERE THAT YOU WOULD FIND HELPFUL WHEN YOU'RE EVALUATING DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION, AS THEY COME THROUGH. SO CONSISTENT WITH THAT, AND THEN OUR PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN ONE, ANOTHER KEY OUTCOME OF THIS ENTIRE PROCESS IS MAPPING THE PARK. SO FIGURING OUT WHERE THEY ARE, WHAT THEY'RE CALLED, WHICH ONES ARE PUBLIC, WHICH ONES ARE PRIME IS, AND THESE ARE YOUR PARTS. SO THAT IS THE KEY OUTCOME OF THIS PROCESS. AND YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY CITY THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE ALL OF THE MAPS AND ACCOUNTED FOR. SO THIS IS THIS IS AN EVOLUTION OF ALVARADO, RIGHT? FIGURING OUT WHAT YOU HAVE. BUT THESE ARE THIS IS LAKE PARK. SO 466 ACRES OF LAKE. SO YOU CAN GO OUT THERE AND WORK THROUGH IT. IF YOU'VE GOT A BOAT OR YOU CAN GO OUT THERE AND SWIM. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE MOM AND ALWAYS GO TO, YOU KNOW, AND THEN FISH? SO IT DOES HAVE RECREATION ELEMENTS. A LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE ALREADY. SO THAT'S ANOTHER KEY OUTCOME. SO A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE EXCITED TO SEE THAT. SO GATE PARK MORE PARK. PARKWAY PARK. THAT'S ON CORPORATE PARK. HERE. THIS ONE DOWNTOWN STREET.
AND THEN GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER PARK. SO THIS IS YOUR EXISTING TRAIL SYSTEM. YOU CAN SEE THE LITTLE BITTY PIECES OF ORANGE THERE. NOT NOT A LOT, BUT THE PROPOSED TRAIL ALIGNMENTS FOLLOW FLOODPLAINS AND KEY DESTINATIONS, IDENTIFIED TRAILHEADS, IDENTIFY SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL, AND THEN ALIGN WITH THE PROPOSED MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN. SO WHERE WE'RE PUTTING IN NEW ROADWAYS AND THEY'RE LIKE FOUR LANE DIVIDED ROADWAYS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE FIVE PATHS ON EACH SIDE, RIGHT? SO WHEN YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT A TRAIL NETWORK, THEY'RE REALLY ADDING CONNECTIVITY. SO HERE'S YOUR PROPOSED TRAIL SYSTEM. YOU CAN SEE ALL THE PURPLE ALIGNMENTS ARE FOLLOWING THE FLOODPLAIN ON BOTH SIDES.
SO DEVELOPMENT COMES IN ON EITHER SIDE. THEY'VE GOT TO FOLLOW THAT FLOODPLAIN. AND WE DO THAT AS A BEST PRACTICE TO GIVE SHADE. AND YOU KNOW, PHOENIX AND ALL THOSE UNUSABLE STRUCTURES SO INTENSIVELY TRAIL LAYERS. AND THEN THOSE RED LINES ARE CALLING THE MAJOR ROADWAYS ON MARCH 30TH. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT ALVARADO CAN BE VERY CONNECTED IN THE FUTURE.
IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. BUT AS AS DEVELOPMENT COMES IN, AS THE CITY DOES CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS, YOU'LL SEE THE NETWORK START TO FILL IN. THIS
[00:20:07]
IS A ZOOM IN OF DOWNTOWN. WE HAVE ANOTHER. SO THIS IS ONE OF THE ONE OF OUR FAVORITE PARTS OF THE PLAN. JUST KIND OF IT. IT'S A GRAPHIC THAT SAYS, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT ALL THESE PLACES IN A VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY WHERE YOU CAN HAVE A LITTLE WALKING CIRCUIT, RIGHT? YOU'VE GOT THAT LITTLE TRIANGULAR PIECE ON THE NORTHEAST SIDE WHERE YOU CAN HAVE A LITTLE TRAILHEAD WHERE PEOPLE CAN, YOU KNOW, A TRAILHEAD MEANS YOU CAN PARK THERE, YOU CAN MAYBE AIR UP YOUR TIRES, TRASH CANS, WATER FOUNTAINS. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SUBSTANTIAL, BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT CEMETERIES CAN BE PARKS AND RECREATION ACCESS. THERE ARE CITIES THAT HAVE AN ENTIRE CEMETERY MASTER PLAN AND PEOPLE CAN RUN IN THEM. AGAIN, NOT IDEAL, BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE DO THAT. THEY HAVE MATURE TREES AND IT CAN BE VERY SCENIC AND CALM. AND THE CITY OWNS USEFUL IN CERTAIN THINGS, BUT THEY ARE DESTINATIONS IN A VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY. AND SINCE WE HAVE A CONSISTENT. SO PARKS AND RECREATION IS BROKEN DOWN INTO THESE FOUR CATEGORIES PLAINS WEST TRAILS AND CONNECTING WITH NATURE AND TREES AND GATHERING CELEBRATES WITH OUR STRATEGIES FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE AND THEN ACTIONS UNDER EACH ONE. THAT'S RELATED TO OUR RECENT GUIDANCES. AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST, DOWNTOWN COLORADO. SO THERE'S OUR BOUNDARIES FOR THE PARKWAY GOES TO THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND UP NORTH TO SHELTON. BUT THAT IS A KEY OUTCOME OF THIS PROCESS. AGAIN, WE'RE IN A BIT OF A DAMAGING CYCLE RIGHT NOW WHERE WE HAVE TO KIND OF STOP THIS SWIRL. AND THE WAY TO DO THAT IS BRING HOUSING DOWNTOWN THAT IS OF A DIFFERENT TYPE. SO NOT TOUCHING EXISTING HOUSING, BUT KEEP EVERYTHING LIKE IT IS. BUT WHEN REDEVELOPMENT HAPPENS, YOU KNOW, IF THEY WANT TO ADD EIGHT UNITS IN A LITTLE MANSION STYLE APARTMENT, WE SHOULD BE THINKING, OH, THAT HELPS SUPPORT RESTORATION. SO IT'S KIND OF JUST A TEAM AND ITS METABOLITES PROJECT. SO THE CITY CAN DO A SQUARE CAN REALLY HELP INVITE INVESTMENT. AND THEN ONCE THAT ENERGY AND EXCITEMENT STARTS TO BUILD AND YOU KNOW HOW PEOPLE HAVE RECEIVED THOSE MURALS. SO LIKE WHEN PEOPLE SEE INVESTMENTS, THEY GET EXCITED AND PROPERTY OWNERS MIGHT BE MORE WILLING TO INVEST. SO HERE'S DOWNTOWN ARCHITECTURAL STYLE THROUGH THE, THROUGH THE, THE PROCESS.PEOPLE SAID THEY WANTED HISTORIC TEXAS ARCHITECTURE ON THE SQUARE PROPER. AND THEN THEY WERE OKAY WITH A BLEND OF FARMHOUSE SHEETS AND HISTORIC TEXAS IN THE OTHER AREAS. THEY DID HAVE A CHOICE OF MODERN. AS WELL AS USING A LOT OF FEATURES ON MODERN. SO THESE ARE SITTING BESIDE ARCHITECTURAL STYLES. WE WENT THROUGH THIS WHOLE THING OF WHETHER THE SQUARE WAS GOING TO BE EXPANDED OR NOT. SO CITY COUNCIL SELECTED THIS OPTION TO ALIGN WITH DIFFERENT BARBERSHOP BUILDINGS ON THAT LEFT SIDE. AND THEN HERE'S OUR LITTLE RENDERING THAT WE HAVE, AGAIN, VERY CONCEPTUAL, A KEY FACTOR CHURCH IN THE BACKGROUND UP THERE, YOU'VE GOT SOME ROOFTOP DINING THAT WAS SHADED. SO THAT'S BEEN AN EVOLUTION IN TEXAS TOO, I WOULD SAY, OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS WHEN WE'RE DESIGNING THINGS. SO, YOU KNOW, JUST DO ROOFTOP DINING WHERE WE SHADE IT BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO ROAST US ON TOP OF THE ROOM. BUT THOSE LITTLE DETAILS MATTER, RIGHT? SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE CARE THAT WE'VE TAKEN. YOU CAN SEE IN THE FAR RIGHT, THERE'S A LITTLE TRAIL GOING THROUGH HERITAGE PARK, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, THE CITY HAS ADDED BENCHES OVER THERE, I MEAN, PICNIC TABLES. SO THAT CAN BE DESIGNED AS PART OF, YOU KNOW, THE TRAIL SYSTEM AND WHATNOT. SO THERE'S ALL SORTS OF FUN LITTLE TOUCHES IN THE PLAZA BACK THERE BEHIND THE WEST SIDE OF THE SQUARES. I'M SORRY, THAT IS. SO ANYWAY, THAT WAS BUT ON WALL STREET. AND THEN THIS COULD BE THE WEST SIDE OF THE SQUARE. IT'S A DIFFERENT USE. SO HERE'S OUR DOWNTOWN SUB AREAS. THERE ARE DESCRIPTIONS OF EACH ONE AND THE WHOLE PLAN. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY THERE'S THERE'S A HEIGHT MAXIMUM. THIS IS NOT ZONING. IT'S A VISION. SO EVERYTHING IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS NOT ZONING. IT'S A VISION. SO ZONING COMES AFTER THE COMP PLAN. HERE'S DOWNTOWN MOBILITY FRAMEWORK WHICH RECOGNIZES THE INTERSECTIONS THAT WE HAVE. AND THEN HERE'S OUR DOWNTOWN STUDY STRATEGY. WE HAVE STRUCTURED THE DOWNTOWN STUDY SO THAT ALVARADO CAN BE A MAIN STREET CITY. SO THAT'S A
[00:25:01]
WHOLE SEPARATE PROCESS. BUT IF YOU GET INVOLVED WITH THE MAINSTREAM AMERICA ASSOCIATION AND COMPLY WITH ALL THOSE STANDARDS, THEN IT OPENS UP TO US TO DIFFERENT FUNDING SOURCES FOR DOWNTOWN. SO WE STRUCTURED IT AROUND WHAT'S CALLED TRANSFORMATION TABLETS. AND THOSE ARE REQUIRED REPORTING FOR MAIN STREET AMERICA. SO WE KIND OF SET YOU UP FOR SUCCESS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THAT GRANT FUNDING. AND IMPLEMENTATION. SO DO YOU USE THE PLAN WE'VE WE'VE GONE THROUGH AND CATEGORIZED EACH OF YOUR ACCENTS SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM WITH CONCEPTUAL LEVEL OF COSTS. SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT WHAT TO DO FIRST, YOU WOULD OBVIOUSLY FOCUS ON YOUR SHORT TERM LOW COST ITEMS. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT SOMETHING THAT'S DESIGNATED LONG TERM DOESN'T END UP SHORT TERM BECAUSE OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITY, A PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY. THIS IS JUST KIND OF A GAUGE AS TO POTENTIAL PRIORITIZATION. SO THESE ARE NOT HARD AND FAST THINGS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THEM IN THE ORDER THAT THEY ARE IN THE PLAN.IT'S JUST A GUIDE. SO KEEP THAT IN MIND AS WELL AS THE STARS ALIGN ON ONE OF THE ACTIONS AND IT'S DESIGNATED AS LONG TERM. GO AHEAD AND MAKE IT HAPPEN BECAUSE THINGS CHANGE. RIGHT. I HAVE A QUESTION. THAT ACTION PLAN IS THAT OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY TO SEE WHAT THE NEEDS ARE BECAUSE I OKAY. YES, YES. AND IT'S ONLINE. SAME.COM. PERFECT. SO EXACTLY. SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SO IN THE. DRAWING OF DOWNTOWN, WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE IN THE FUTURE, WHERE'S IS DAVID'S AT? IS DAVID PLANNING ON SELLING OR IS IT AN OPTION. RIGHT. THIS IS ALL YOU KNOW, PRIVATE PROPERTY. SOMETIMES WHAT WE SEE IS THEY'RE READY TO SELL AND THEY'RE LIKE, OKAY, THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ME. OR THEY CHOOSE TO KEEP THE PROPERTY AND REDEVELOP IT THEMSELVES BECAUSE THEY REALIZE THEY NEED A ELICITED INVESTMENT.
SO IT'S NOT ANYTHING THAT THE CITY'S PLANNING ON, ON DOING AS PART OF THIS PROCESS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IT'S JUST AN IDEA. IT'S A VISION, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S POSSIBLE.
AND BACK WHERE YOU HAD THE THE TRAILS WHERE THEY CONNECTED BY ABOUT TEN SLIDES BACK. SO YEAH.
YES. SO JUST NORTH OF PECAN ORCHARD PARK AND JUST SOUTH OF GLENWOOD CEMETERY, TO THE RIGHT OF THE PARKWAY LINE, IT GOES THROUGH THOSE HOMES RIGHT THERE. OH, SO THAT THAT'S JUST FOLLOWING THE FLOODPLAIN. OKAY. IT'S CONTEXTUAL. SO IF SOMEONE EVER BOUGHT THAT PROPERTY AND WANTED TO COME IN AND PUT, YOU KNOW, WHO KNOWS WHERE THEY WOULD WANT TO PUT IN THERE IF IT'D BE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, IF THEY WERE GOING TO PUT 50 HOMES IN THERE OR SOMETHING, THEN THEY WOULD BE REQUIRED TO DEDICATE THAT TRAIL. AND SO AGAIN, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY SOMETHING THAT THE CITY WOULD COLLAPSE IF IT WASN'T THAT THE CITY OWNS LAND OR IT'S ALONG THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY, THEN THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE CITY COULD PRIORITIZE. BUT IT'S ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. IT TYPICALLY COMES IN IF IT WAS SOLD, THAT'S WHAT, BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AT THAT IS MISLEADING BECAUSE JUST TO THE RIGHT OF THAT IS THAT HOUSE THAT HAS ALL THAT PROPERTY THAT IT'S ON THE MARKET RIGHT NOW. YES. YEAH. BUT IT MIGHT NOT SAY THAT FOREVER. YEAH. SO THAT'S WHY I WAS THAT CAUGHT MY EYE. OKAY. BUT THE CITY CONTROLS THE RIGHT OF WAY. SO THAT'S A KEY PORTION OF THE TRAIL NETWORK THAT THE CITY SEES. YEAH. SO THERE'S A LOT OF CONTENT IN 3.1. AND I MEAN WE'VE BACK IN 2017, WE INVESTED IN $65,000 OR WHATEVER THAT WAS IN A GRANT AND THAT JUST WENT DOWN THE TOILET. SO WE'VE SPENT ALL THIS TIME, WE'VE SPENT ALL THIS MONEY, WHO'S STEERING THE SHIP TO MAKE SURE THAT IT HAPPENS TO BE A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT, RIGHT? YEAH. SO IT'S GOT TO BE CITY COUNCIL WORKING CONDITIONS LIKE THESE GUYS. YOU'VE GOT TO, AT EVERY STEP OF THE WAY, IF THE ZONING REQUESTS AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS AND ALL THE PIECES WITH THE CITY SETTING ITS BUDGET, YOU KNOW, THE CITY STAFF AND CITY LEADERSHIP ON WORKING SOLUTIONS HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION. BUT ALSO YOU'VE GOT
[00:30:04]
THREE INVESTED RESIDENTS AS WELL, RIGHT, WHO WOULD LIKE TO SEE US COME TRUE? AND SO THE MORE PEOPLE ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE PLAN, THE MORE I THINK WE WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S ANY ONE PERSON. I THINK IT'S A CULTURE OF IMPLEMENTATION. THEN I THINK SO WHENEVER PLANS ARE BROUGHT FORTH TO US AFTER THIS GETS ADOPTED, THEN IS ONE STEP IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GOING TO BE BEFORE IT COMES TO US IS AS PART OF OUR MASTER PLAN. YES, WE'LL REVIEW DEVELOPMENT PLANS BEFORE IT GOES TO THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL WILL PREPARE IT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND AND INCLUDE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANS GUIDANCE IN OUR REPORT TO THE PLANNING, ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL. AND YOU HAVE ONE OF THOSE ON YOUR AGENDA TODAY THAT EVEN REFERENCES OUR FUTURE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND OUR CURRENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. IT'S THE LAST AGENDA ITEM YESTERDAY. THANK YOU. ANOTHER QUESTION. THE GARDEN HOMES THAT WE APPROVED ON THE EAST SIDE, SOME OF THE SMALLER HOMES THAT ARE COMING IN, I BELIEVE THAT'S JUST WEST OF EAGLE GLEN EDITION OFF OF DAVIS. YEAH. AND SO IS THAT PART OF STEPS TOO FAR TO BE PART OF THAT DOWNTOWN PART OF THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE SMALLER, THE FAMILY, WHATEVER. YEAH, IT'S JUST OUT OF THIS PICTURE HERE. YEAH. AND SO IT'LL BE THE TWO. THE PROBLEM THERE IS THE RAILROAD. OH YEAH.IS A BARRIER AND THERE'S NOT ANY LONGER A, A WAY OF CONNECTIVITY. DAVIS WOULD BE THE ONLY WAY OF CONNECTIVITY. OH OKAY. SO WHAT KIND OF A STEP AHEAD, BUT NOT REALLY. OKAY. SO WHATEVER YOU FIND RECOMMEND TONIGHT WE'LL TRAVEL FORWARD TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR FINAL CONSIDERATION. SO YOU GUYS MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO ME AND THEN THAT MOVES FORWARD TO CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THE COMMISSION. SO NOW THE RECOMMENDATION. WELL, I SUGGEST YOU OPEN IT UP TO A PUBLIC HEARING FOR ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD WANT TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION, OR JUST STATE THEIR CONCERNS WITH THE PLAN. AND THEN IF THERE'S WHEN AND IF THERE'S NONE, CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. AND THEN YOU CAN DELIBERATE AND AND MAKE YOUR RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL. OKAY, SO WE OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS KIND OF ACTION. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT OR SAY? CAN YOU OPEN IT UP A LITTLE? 703 ALL RIGHT. OKAY. YES, I'D SAY YEAH. I AGREE. SO MY NAME IS JAMIE JONES. I LIKE LISA STARTED ALL OF THIS BACK IN 2017 AND WE KEPT PLANNING EVERYTHING AND GET IT DONE. WE HAD A MEETING AT THE OLD SENIOR CENTER AND IT HAD ALL THESE VISIONS AND ALL THESE THINGS WE WANTED TO DO. THAT WAS BEFORE WE HAD ALL THE ROOFTOPS COME IN BECAUSE IT'S JUST BLAZES TO ME, IS WE NEED TO DO THIS BECAUSE ALL THESE ROOFTOPS DON'T KNOW. WE HAVE A DOWNTOWN AND WE'RE WORKING REALLY HARD TO GET THAT DONE. SO I ABSOLUTELY LOVE EVERYTHING THAT AMBER AND HER TEAM HAS DONE JUSTICE. BUT I REALLY THINK IN MY LOVE OF ALVARADO, THIS IS DEFINITELY A GOOD FORWARD FOR US TO GET AHOLD OF. AND NOW THAT WE'VE GOT IN-HOUSE PEOPLE THAT REALLY DO CARE, I THINK WE CAN ROLL AND SEE THIS HAPPENING. MAY NOT BE IN MY LIFETIME, BUT I KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE IN THE GRANDKIDS AND, AND THOSE. AND WE NEED TO LOOK AT THIS AS THE FUTURE OF THIS REALLY GOOD TEAM. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 704. SO THAT WOULD BE THE. RECOMMENDATION TO GO FORWARD WITH THIS. I LIKE IT.
YOU LIKE IT? IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD. YOUR SECOND. YES, I'LL SECOND IT ALL APPROVED. RAISE YOUR HAND. ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT ONE IS PUBLIC HEARING, PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION FOR THE PRIMARY ZONING REPORT. LJ AGAIN. ME AGAIN. YEP. OKAY. SO AS PART OF THIS GRANT, THEY
[00:35:12]
REQUIRE US TO UPDATE THE ZONING ORDINANCE IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AT THE SAME TIME, TYPICALLY WE DON'T DO IT IN THIS ACCELERATED FASHION, BUT IT IS A GREAT REQUIREMENT. SO WHAT WE DID IS WE TOOK A PRELIMINARY STAB AT KIND OF ALIGNING ZONING DISTRICTS AND MAKING SOME INTERIM MEASURES UNTIL THE CITY CAN GO THROUGH OVERALL THE ORDINANCE AND KIND OF MODERNIZE SOME SOME DIFFERENT PIECES OF IT. SO I'M GOING TO EXPLAIN THAT TO THE TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY AT A HIGH LEVEL. BUT THE FIRST THING WE DID WAS DESIGNATE LEGACY DISTRICTS TEMPORARILY FOR THINGS THAT ARE NOT CONFORMING TO THE VISION.SO THINGS THAT WE WOULD IMAGINE IF THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO MOVE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, IT WOULD JUST NOT BE IN THAT DISTRICT IN THE FUTURE. SO IT KIND OF STAYS OUT TO BE GRANDFATHERED IN AND ALL OF THAT. BUT WE WOULDN'T BE REZONING ANYBODY. SO DISTRICT. SO THOSE HAVE AN X IN THEM NOW.
SO THEY'RE STILL IN ZONING ORDINANCE. BUT THEY ARE LEGACY DISTRICTS FOR THEM. AND THEN WE MADE NEW DISTRICTS TO CORRESPOND WITH THE NEW FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS. SO LIKE NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE AND REGIONAL MIXED USE. SO IT STUFF LIKE THAT. AND THEN WE REVISE THE USES IN EXISTING DISTRICT TO ALIGN WITH FUTURE LAND USE CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS. SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE THOUGHT HOTELS SHOULD BE ALLOWED IN REGIONAL MIXED USE, THEN WE MADE SURE THAT THOSE THAT USE WAS ALLOWED IN ORDINANCES. SO THAT KIND OF EFFORT. AND THEN WE REVISED SOME LANDSCAPING, SCREENING AND FENCING TO ALIGN WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE CHARACTER RESTRICTIONS. BUT ALSO STAFF HAD A COUPLE OF DAYS UPS THAT WE KIND OF JUST AMENDED AT THE SAME TIME. JUST TO NORMAL ORDINANCE IN THOSE SETTINGS. SO THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT WE DID.
THESE ARE THE ARTICLES IN THE ORDINANCE THAT ARE TO BE AMENDED. OBVIOUSLY, WE CAN'T GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE ZONING ORDINANCE THIS EVENING WITH THE PRELIMINARY PUBLIC HEARING ON A PRELIMINARY ZONING REPORT. AND THEN HERE ARE THE LEGACY DISTRICTS. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT WILL BE PHASED OUT. IF YOU RECALL, WE DID THAT TEMPORARY DOWNTOWN OVERLAY WHICH IS MEANT TO BE TEMPORARY. SO THERE WOULD BE A NEW DOWNTOWN DISTRICT IN THE FUTURE THAT COVERS THE ENTIRE DOWNTOWN AREA THAT HAS THOSE MAXIMUM HEIGHTS FOR SUB AREA AND ALL THOSE THINGS REALLY KIND OF FREE UP THE DEVELOPMENT YOU WANT TO SEE AND PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE. SO THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF POLICY. AND THEN NEW DISTRICTS, THESE ARE SOME OF THE NEW ONES. MULTI-FAMILY WOULD BE ALLOWED IN NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE AND REGIONAL MIXED USE IS A DIFFERENT SCALE. SO NEIGHBORHOOD IS MEANT TO BE VERY LOWER SCALE ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL AND REGIONAL HIGHWAYS. SO IF YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, A STANDARD THREE STORY APARTMENT COMPLEX OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THEN IT WOULD PROBABLY BE ON 35. AND THEN NEXT UP FOR THIS ONE WOULD BE A CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE MASTER PLAN SET OVERALL. AND THEN YOU WOULD HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE ACTUAL ZONING ORDINANCE APRIL 16TH. IT WILL BE COMING BACK TO YOU WITH THE PRELIMINARY SITE.

PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM SO WE CAN. OH SURE. PICK UP YOUR COMMENTS. I'M GETTING NEW ONES.
OKAY. WHAT'S THE PLAN AND EVERYTHING. ARE WE PUTTING THE FIRST RESPONDERS UP? I NOTICED IN THE FUTURE WILL THERE BE ENOUGH LAND USAGE FOR THEM? I MEAN, FOR FIRE STATIONS OR BY STUDENTS BECAUSE THE STUDENTS GOING TO DO. I'M ALSO. REVITALIZING STUFF AT THE POST OFFICE. BERLIN. THEY CAN STILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND. YOU KNOW, FIRE STATION. YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP ADDING. IT DOESN'T GO TO THAT LEVEL OF DETAIL. BUT YOU KNOW, FOR FOR THE CITY SERVICE,
[00:40:03]
YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP ADDING FIRE STATIONS AND GROWTH COMES IN. AND SO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WILL THEY HAVE A SOMETHING CALLED AN ISO RATINGS. AND THEY HAVE TO KEEP THAT WITHIN CERTAIN RESPONSE TIMES AND WHATNOT. SO THAT'S THAT'S DEFINITELY I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S IN STRATEGIC GROWTH UNDER RISK AND. OKAY. AWESOME. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO. WE'RE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. IF NO ONE ELSE IS ANYBODY ELSE NEED TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING? ALL RIGHT. SO, SO ARE WE GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BRING IN ALL THESE THINGS. AND I CAN SPEAK TO THAT. YES. AND WE AND THE COUNCIL HAS ALREADY. STARTED US WITH BIRKHOFF, HENDRIX, CARTER UPDATING OUR WATER MASTER PLAN, OUR WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN, AND CREATING A FIRST EVER STORMWATER MASTER PLAN. AND THOSE ARE IN THE WORKS RIGHT NOW. OKAY. YES, YES, IMPLEMENTATION HAS BEGUN ALREADY. YES. SO DRAINAGE IS IN PART OF IT. YES IT IS. YES. OKAY. ANY MORE QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT. WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT. SECTION 11. I NEED TO VOTE ON THIS. IS THIS ACTUALLY ITEM OR IS IT JUST TO GET FEEDBACK FOR NEXT WEEK, NEXT MONTH'S PUBLIC HEARING? I THINK IT'S JUST A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE REPORT. OKAY. NO ACTION IS NECESSARY. BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY FEEDBACK FOR US NOW, YOU CERTAINLY CAN PROVIDE THAT QUESTION. OKAY, GO ON TO THE NEXT ITEM. PUBLIC HEARING, CONSIDERATION OF THE ACTIONS. THE APPLICATION FOR N, V AND A BUILDERS LLC FOR APPROVING OF THE ZONING CHANGE FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE SF TWO DISTRICT OF GARDEN HOMES, G H DISTRICT OF APPROXIMATELY .3213 OF AN ACRE, KNOWN AS THE PORTION OF LOT FOUR OF. ALL OF LOT FIVE. LOT SIX OF THE NEW TOWN EDITION, AKA MISSOURI PACIFIC EDITION ADDRESS AT 905 AND 907 TRAVIS AVENUE. THANK YOU CHAIRMAN, THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE HERE. IT'S ONE PLOTTED LOT OF RECORD AND THEN A PORTION OF ANOTHER PLOTTED LOT OF RECORD. IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED SF TWO DISTRICT. YOU CAN SEE THE BUILDING FOOTPRINTS ARE IN GRAY. AND THIS RESIDENCE HERE THAT'S EXISTING IS IT APPEARS TO BE ENCROACHING ONTO THIS HERE PLOT. A LOT OF RECORD AND THE NEW BUYER OF THIS PROPERTY. WAS LOOKING TO BUILD TWO NEW HOMES ON THE TWO LOTS HE THOUGHT HE PURCHASED. BUT IT TURNS OUT HE ONLY PURCHASED ONE LOT AND THEN A PORTION OF ANOTHER LOT, BECAUSE APPROXIMATELY FOUR FEET OF OF THIS LOT HERE, AA4 FOOT STRIP WAS ACQUIRED BY THIS PROPERTY OWNER. AND AND THERE WASN'T A PLAT TO RECORD THAT, THAT ACQUISITION. SO THE DEED RECORDS ARE NOT MATCHING THE PLAT RECORDS IN DOING THAT, THAT CREATED THESE TWO PROPERTIES ARE THIS PROPERTY TO HAVE LESS THAN 100 FOOT OF FRONTAGE TO TRAVIS AVENUE. AND THE CURRENT ZONING OF SF TWO REQUIRES A MINIMUM LOT WIDTH OF 50FT. SO THE ONE LOT THAT'S ONLY A PORTION OF THE LOT WAS SHORT. THAT 50 FOOT LOT WIDTH REQUIREMENT. SO THE OWNER IS STILL LOOKING TO BUILD TWO SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENCES ON THIS SITE AND IS REQUESTING A REZONING TO THE GARDEN HOME DISTRICT, WHICH WOULD ALLOW A LOT WITH LESS THAN 50FT, SO THAT HE CAN THEN REPLOT IT INTO TWO LOTS OF RECORD AND BUILD TWO SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENCES. THIS IS THE NOTIFICATION AREA THAT WAS. WE SENT A LETTER TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200FT OF THE SITE. I JUST GOT ONE CALL FROM ONE RESIDENT AND THEY WERE JUST, YOU KNOW, INQUIRING OF WHAT WHAT THE PLAN WAS. AND WHEN I INFORMED THEM THAT THE PLAN WAS TO BUILD TWO NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES[00:45:02]
DETACHED, THEY WERE ON BOARD WITH IT AND THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA. LET'S SEE, THIS IS OUR CURRENT FUTURE LAND USE PLAN FROM THE 2017 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND IN THE VERY MIDDLE THERE, THERE'S A TURQUOISE STAR THAT REPRESENTS THIS SITE. OKAY, THAT'S IN THE NEW TOWN EDITION, ALSO KNOWN AS THE MISSOURI PACIFIC EDITION THAT WAS PLOTTED OUT BACK IN THE 1800S. AND YOU CAN SEE THE YELLOW THERE IN THIS PLAN IS DESIGNATING IT TO THE LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, WHICH THIS REQUEST IS STILL CONSISTENT WITH. AND THEN THIS IS OUR DRAFTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP THAT DESIGNATES THIS SITE TO THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD LAND USE CATEGORY, WHICH. THIS REQUEST WOULD ALSO BE CONSISTENT WITH. AND THEN HERE ARE SOME OF THE PRINT. ARE THE PRINCIPLES AND APPLICABLE CHARACTER AND VISION FOR THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS. LAND USE CATEGORY, WHICH. I FIND THAT THIS REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH. NOW WE GET TO OUR CURRENT ZONING MAP. YOU CAN SEE PREDOMINANTLY IN THIS AREA OF THE NEW TOWN EDITION. THE ZONING IS IN THE LIGHT YELLOW OF SF TWO DISTRICT. HOWEVER, YOU HAVE SOME LITTLE POCKETS HERE AS A TWO FAMILY ZONING THAT'S EXISTING HERE IS A MULTIFAMILY ZONING THAT IS EXISTING. AND THEN ALONG BUSINESS ROUTE INTERSTATE 35 AND ALONG 35 FRONTAGE. WE HAVE THE GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. SO THIS SITE IS HIGHLIGHTED HERE. AND THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE IT TO THE GARDEN HOME DISTRICT IN ORDER TO DEVELOP TWO SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENCES. AND WE HAVE. THIS IS MY LAST GRAPHIC SLIDE I JUST PROVIDED IN YOUR PACKET. THE GARDEN HOME DISTRICT PERMITTED USES AND DESIGN STANDARDS. SO I'LL CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I BELIEVE WE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE APPLICANT HERE, BUT I DON'T SEE HIM. BUT I'VE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH THEM. AND AS LATE AS 5:00 TODAY. SO I'M NOT SURE WHY HE'S NOT HERE, BUT. I'LL BE AVAILABLE. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE COMMISSION FROM THE PUBLIC? OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. GO AHEAD. IS THAT LOT ACTUALLY BIG ENOUGH FOR TWO GARDEN ROOMS, I MEAN. OH, YEAH. YEAH. YES. THAT'S BECAUSE THE LOCATION IS SIDE BY SIDE. THEY WOULD BE BOTH FRONTING TRAVIS. YES, THEY, THEY WOULD HAVE LESS THAN 50 FOOT LOT WIDTHS. THEY WILL BE NARROWER, BUT THEY'LL HAVE THE SAME LOT DEPTH AS THE OTHER LOTS ON TRAVIS AVENUE. YEAH. OKAY. YEAH, IT'S A LITTLE. LOT, A LITTLE GRAY SPOT THERE. THAT'S ON FOUR. PROBABLY A MOBILE HOME, THE OLD BAY HOUSE.I'M SORRY. IS IT RIGHT HERE? YEAH. IS THAT THE WHITE HOUSE HOUSE? I'M JUST NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT. SUBSTATION RIGHT THERE. RIGHT. DOES ANYONE KNOW THAT? I DON'T HAVE THAT LOCAL HISTORY. AS IT WAS LONG AND SKINNY, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE LIKE A MOBILE HOME OR SOMETHING.
YEAH, IT COULD BE A MOBILE HOME. YEAH, THAT'S WHAT IT APPEARS TO ME. I THOUGHT IT WAS MOBILE.
HOME WAS THE OLD BAIT SHOP A MOBILE HOME? NO, IT'S A MOBILE HOME. IT IS A MOBILE HOME. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A MOBILE. REAL THIN. YEAH. AND THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING THIS. THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE LIKE FRAME HOUSES THAT ARE SMALLER ANYWAYS, SO I THINK A GARDEN HOME IS NOT GOING TO STICK OUT SIZE WISE. I DON'T THINK I HAVE A BETTER PICTURE. I CAN GO TO GOOGLE STREET VIEW. JUSTIN. I THINK THERE'S SOME TWO STORY HOMES RIGHT THERE AT SPARKS AND THIRD THAT ARE LIKE GARDEN HOMES. RIGHT BEHIND THAT OLD MEXICAN RESTAURANT. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, THREE OF THEM. HUM HUM. YEAH, YEAH. THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING. IS IT BIG ENOUGH FOR THEM TO BE CRAMMED IN LIKE THOSE THREE HOMES ARE MY GUESS. WOULD THEY BE TRIMMED? BECAUSE THAT LOT IS. IS REALLY BIT TOO NARROW. LIKE I SAID, IT'S RIGHT THERE ON THIRD. IT'S THOSE
[00:50:07]
THREE HOMES RIGHT THERE RIGHT BESIDE EACH OTHER, RIGHT WHERE IT SAYS SOUTH THIRD STREET.WELL, HE'S ON THIRD, THIRD RIGHT, JUST DOWN HERE. MY CURSOR IS NOT WANTING TO MOVE.
BAM BAM, BAM RIGHT THERE. OVER HERE. I WOULD SAY THAT THOSE ARE FAIRLY COMPARABLE TO WHAT WOULD BE PROPOSED HERE. YEAH. THEY'RE VERY SMALL PEOPLE. OKAY. BUT I MEAN, THEY'RE HOMEOWNERS.
IF THEY WANT TO BE THAT CLOSE TO THEIR NEIGHBOR, THEY CAN BUY IT OR NOT. THE THING IS, THIS CAUSES PROBLEMS FOR STREET PARKING. CAN YOU TAKE THAT PART AWAY? IF I CURSOR WOULD, I WOULD. I? IT'S LIKE MOVING SO SLOW. COME ON JUSTIN, YOU'RE MAKING THIS DIFFICULT. CAN YOU X OUT? IF HE CAN'T MOVE HIS MOUTH. SO HOW OLD ARE YOU? WELL, THE THING IS, THE BATTERY DIED ON THE COUCH. THE PEOPLE THAT ARE THAT ARE THERE, THE DRIVEWAYS ARE SMALL. IT'S A ONE CAR GARAGE. THE DRIVEWAYS ARE SMALL AND WE END UP WITH ALWAYS MAKING IT SLOW. WELL, I WAS GOING BACK TO MY STOP RIGHT THERE. STOP. OKAY. RIGHT HERE WE END. WE HAD TO COME THROUGH INTO A NO PARKING SIGN BECAUSE THESE THREE HOUSES TAKE UP PARKING ALL THE WAY DOWN THAT WALK. IT'S ALL THE WAY. SO IT'S A ONE CAR DRIVEWAY. IT IS A YOU LOT CAN GET TO IT. OH, THERE YOU GO. OH, IT IS A ONE. OH. THEY PARK ALL SEE HOW THEY'RE PARKED. YEAH, YEAH. COME THROUGH. WE HAD TO PUT IN NO PARKING SIGNS BECAUSE THEY CONTINUED TO PARK ON US. OUR NEIGHBOR'S GRASS. THAT'S LITERALLY ONE PARK. IS THAT RIGHT? YEAH. PRETTY MUCH. WHAT THEY ALL HAVE BIG TRUCKS, YOU KNOW. YEAH, BUT THAT'S A PROBLEM THROUGH THE WHOLE CITY.
LYDIA. MY, MY ROAD'S THE SAME, I KNOW. OH, YOUR ROAD WORKS. YEAH. AND HE'S ASKING TO PUT TWO. YES. YEAH. HE'S WANTING TO PUT TWO. WERE THOSE THREE ARE ALREADY CRAMMED ENOUGH IN THAT.
907 THAT 905 THAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR. YEAH. IT'S VERY NARROW. I'M A POSTAL WORKER. SO I DELIVERED TO THAT ADDRESS NOW VERY NARROW LIKE THIS. AND THE HOUSE IS A HOUSE HERE AND IT'S ANOTHER HOUSE HERE. AND IT WAS TWO IN THERE. I'M UNLESS IT GOES STRAIGHT TO THE EAST OR WEST, I DON'T KNOW. NO, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A STREET ENTRANCE. IT'S A VERY NARROW. TRAVIS. YOU KNOW, IS THIS A DEVELOPER OR IS THIS A PERSONAL HOME SERVICE WANTS TO. I GOT THE IMPRESSION THIS IS A, A HOME BUILDER THAT IS LOOKING FOR OTHER LOTS IN THE CITY TO, TO INFILL LOTS TO BUILD HOMES, TRYING TO FIND ALL THE OPEN CARRY DOWN HOUSES AND WELL BUT HE'S IS HE. AND YOU KNOW, I MEAN THE ONES HE'S TEARING DOWN ARE THOSE THAT ARE ON THEIR LAST LEGS A LOT OF TIMES AND PROPS FOR THAT. YEAH. IF IT'S FEASIBLE. YEAH. BUT SO WHAT IS THAT. THAT'S WHAT USED TO BE THERE. YES. CORRECT. GOTCHA.
YES. IT LOOKS LIKE THAT. BUT IT'S NOT. IT'S REALLY. HE'S ASKING FOR TWO AND TWO. HE'S ASKING FOR A REZONING TO THE GARDEN HOME DISTRICT, WHICH WOULD ALLOW HIM TO BUILD TWO RESIDENCES RATHER THAN JUST BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE LOT. IT'S A LOT BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE LOT. YES. IT'S ALLOWING HIM TO NOT NECESSARILY THE SIZE, BUT THE WIDTH BECAUSE THE WIDTH IS TOO NARROW TO HAVE TWO LOTS. AND UNDER THE CURRENT ZONING, OKAY. CAN WE CAN WE ASK THAT IT BE LIKE A DUPLEX? YOU KNOW, GIVE THEM DIRECTION TO REAPPLY TO REZONE TO TWO FAMILY DISTRICT? YEAH, YEAH. OR, OR ANOTHER NEW ZONING DISTRICT IF WE HAVE THAT BY THEN. RIGHT.
BECAUSE A DUPLEX WOULD FIT IN THAT SAME AND MAKE MORE SENSE. RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT. TWO, FOUR, FIVE. ACCESS. YEAH. OR COULD YOU RECOMMEND THAT THEY. FURTHER THAT SO THAT THEY CAN HANDLE THEM? OH, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA BECAUSE IT'S LONGER. I DIDN'T KNOW IT IS NOT RIGHT.
NOT WITH A STRAIGHT REZONING REQUEST THAT THAT COULD NOT BE A STIPULATION. IT WOULD HAVE TO
[00:55:01]
BE LIKE A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT THAT'S REQUESTED THAT YOU CAN PUT SPECIFIC CRITERIA LIKE THAT IN THAT DISTRICT. SO IN OUR PLAN IS AVAILABLE PARKING. ONE OF THE DOTS, ONE OF THE BULLETS, IT SHOULD BE IF IT'S NOT SO IN EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS, IS WHAT THIS IS.NEW DEVELOPMENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH WHAT'S OVER THERE IN TERMS OF SIZE AND SCALE. SO WE FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, TWO NEW HOMES AT THAT SIZE WOULD BE COMPATIBLE IN SCALE AND CHARACTER. THEN THAT'S WHAT YOU'D BE LOOKING FOR COMPATIBILITY AND KEEPING THE SCALE OF WHAT'S OUT THERE. BUT LIKE JUSTIN SAID, IF YOU WANT TO STIPULATE THE LENGTH OF THE DRIVEWAY OR THE WIDTH OF THE DRIVEWAY, YOU COULD DO THAT WITH A SPECIAL ORDINANCE FOR THE CITY. YES IT IS. SO THAT'S THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY TO THE WEST. AND AND THE PROPOSED RESIDENCES WOULD BE LARGER AND WIDER WITH THE TWO CAR GARAGE, WITH A TWO CAR. TRACK THAT MIGHT, THAT MIGHT, THAT MIGHT SOLVE THAT THREE. THEY'RE ONLY THEY DON'T HAVE A BIGGER DRIVEWAY. THEY'RE ONLY LIKE FOUR FEET LACKING TO HAVE A SECOND LOT UNDER THE CURRENT ZONING. SO THE LOT WIDTHS PROPOSED ARE LIKE 48FT EACH RATHER THAN 50FT EACH. SO COMPARING THOSE TO THOSE THREE, IT'S NOT THE SAME COMPARISON. OKAY. SO. THAT'S THAT'S A THAT'S UP TO THEM. YEAH. THAT'S TRUE. RIGHT. THEY'LL HAVE A MINIMUM OF FIVE FOOT SIDE YARD SETBACKS ON EACH LOT. RIGHT? I'M OKAY. YEAH. I'M GOOD WITH IT. YEAH. THERE HAS TO BE FLEXIBLE ON THE FOR THE CENTER FOR RESEARCH. IS IT POSSIBLE FOR. PERFECT. YES, YES. OKAY.
YEAH. ON THURSDAY AND ON THURSDAY. OKAY. YEAH. YEAH. I MEAN THOSE ARE THOSE ARE NICE.
THOSE. THEY DON'T HAVE THAT QUESTION. YOU KNOW, IT WAS HER DRIVER'S LICENSE. YEAH. THERE'S ALSO A PRODUCT CALLED RHODIOLA, WHICH IS IT LOOKS LIKE A B SIDE, BUT THEY'RE ON THEIR OWN LOT.
SO THEY'VE GOT AN ATTACHED WALL, BUT THEY'RE ON THEIR OWN LOT. SO THEY'RE MORE LIKELY TO BE OWNER OCCUPIED RATHER THAN RENTAL. BUT A DUPLEX IS TWO UNITS ON ONE LOT. SO VILLA IS GOT AN INTACT WALL, BUT THEY'RE ON THEIR OWN LOT. SO YOU CAN. DO THOSE THINGS RISE TO IMPART IMPART BEHIND THEM. YEAH. THOSE ARE ALL TRAVIS'S ADDRESSES. YES. EXCEPT FOR THE BLUE HOUSE. HERS.
AND THEN THE IN HOUSE IS POOR. SO BECAUSE HER DOOR FACES UP RIGHT NOW. YEAH, BUT I'LL DRIVE BACK ON MY PART, YOU KNOW, SO IT MAKES IT GREAT. YEAH. CRYSTAL DID A VERY GOOD JOB ON.
THAT. HE'S NOT OUT AGAINST IT. REDESIGN HIS APPLICATION. JUST JUST A STRAIGHT REZONING. JUST SAYING. IF YOU WANTED TO ENCOURAGE THE VILLA THEN IT WOULD BE REMOVING THE INTERIOR SIDE YARD SETBACK WITH. LOOK IT UP WITH A PLAN. DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT CONDITION YOUR APPROVAL TO PROVIDE RELIEF TO THE INTERIOR SIDE. IF IT HAS A DOUBLE GARAGE. INDEED. THAT'S DOUBLE DRIVEWAY. YEAH, WHICH IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE THREE WE LOOKED AT. YEAH. AND THAT'S 100%. JUSTIN. THE DOUBLE GARAGE. THAT'S THE BUILDING PLANS SUBMITTED TO US. OKAY.
YES. AND I DON'T KNOW IF, IF THE TYPICAL PERSON WOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE BY AND SEE THAT THESE ARE NOT IN THE SF TWO DISTRICT, BECAUSE THE CHARACTER OF THE BUILDINGS THAT HE'S PROPOSED, HE'S NOT HERE TO PRESENT THAT, BUT THE CHARACTER IS IS IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR YOUR SINGLE FAMILY, TWO DISTRICT HOME WITH THE TWO CAR GARAGE, FRONT DOOR, WINDOW, THE DRIVEWAY, YOU KNOW, LACKING TWO FEET IN LOT WIDTH. YEAH. MOST PEOPLE WOULD NOT EVEN NOTICE
[01:00:07]
THAT. YEAH. AND WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT THAT ONE, RIGHT. CORRECT. YEAH. THAT'S WHAT I SAID. AND THOSE ARE TWO STORIES PROPOSING ONE STORY. EACH. SO. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ONES THAT ARE THE. THE HOUSES THERE ON THE. JUST KIDDING. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPARE BATTERY BACK THERE WITH THE MOUSE. OKAY. ARE THEY ARE THEY SIMILAR TO HAVEN'T SEEN THE PLANS, BUT ARE THEY SIMILAR TO THE ONES THAT ARE ON CARTER STREET? THE DOUBLE DRIVEWAY, SINGLE FAMILY, A LITTLE SMALLER. GOT IT. SOUTH WATSON AND CARTER RIGHT BEFORE YOU GO. YEAH, RIGHT BEFORE YOU GET THE RAILROAD OVER BY MY HOUSE. YEAH, YEAH, I WOULD, I'D THINK SO. I MEAN, THOSE ARE BIGGER LOTS, BUT. THOSE THINGS ARE NOT SHOWN. YEAH. IS THAT ONE THING THAT, YOU KNOW, WATSON WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. YEAH. YOU WEREN'T GETTING THAT COLLEGE.TRAINING. AND THE ANSWERS TO THOSE QUESTIONS, I GUESS. THAT'S RIGHT. SO YOU TRY TO DO THIS. YEAH. THAT'S PROBABLY THE CLOSEST THING I'VE SEEN SO FAR. AND YOU CAN'T REALLY SEE IT ALL FOR. NOW, RIGHT? YEAH. YOU GOT ROOM FOR TWO MORE IF THEY DON'T STORE JUNK IN PARKING GARAGE? WHICH IS THAT'S PROBABLY THAT'S PROBABLY MORE LIKE IT RIGHT THERE. SIMILAR, BUT I DON'T REMEMBER HIS FRONT DOOR BEING ON THE OUTSIDE SETBACK SO MUCH. BUT YEAH, I LIKE THAT TOWARDS THE BACK. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I LIKE IT. THANKS. YEAH. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 733. THANK YOU ALL FOR THAT. THANK YOU ALL FOR CONTRIBUTING. YES. IT'S GOOD. SO WHAT DO YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND GO WITH THIS. THE TWO CAR GARAGE. YEAH. THERE'S ONLY ONE LOT. SO YOU MAKE THE MOST OF IT. MAKE A MOTION. CAN'T MAKE A MOTION. HERE'S NUMBER FOUR. FOR EXAMPLE.
SECOND SECOND, SECOND. ALL APPROVED. RIGHT IN. OKAY. THAT CONCLUDES OUR SESSION FOR TONIGHT. THANK YOU FOR EVERYBODY THAT CAME IN TODAY.
