THANK YOU, DIANE.

SORRY, UH, I WAS GONNA SAY MS. CHAVEZ HAD TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

ALRIGHT, GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.

KEN SCHMIDT, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FOR THE TOWN.

UH, BEFORE I PRESENT THIS ITEM, I NEED TO MAKE A NOTE, UH, REGARDING, UH, THE WORK SESSION THAT THE COMMISSION HAD LAST NIGHT.

UH, SO, UH, THAT MEETING WAS LIVE STREAMED, UM, AND WE HAD DIRECTED OUR VENDOR, UH, WHO, UH, RECORDS BROADCASTS, UM, OUR MEETINGS TO ALSO RECORD IT, SO IT COULD BE ON OUR WEBSITE, UH, FOR, UH, THE LONG-TERM FUTURE FOR PEOPLE TO REVIEW, UH, ON THEIR OWN.

UH, UNFORTUNATELY, UH, THE VENDOR MADE AN ERROR AND DID NOT RECORD THAT MEETING.

UM, THAT WAS A, UH, AN ISSUE ON OUR END.

IT WAS FULLY OUR INTENT TO HAVE THAT RECORDED AND, UH, ON OUR WEBSITE.

SO APOLOGIES TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THAT.

I WILL NOTE THAT THE COMMISSION, UH, HAD A VERY ROBUST DISCUSSION ON ALL THE ITEMS

[00:05:01]

IT WAS AN HOUR AND A HALF LONG MEETING, ADDRESSED MANY OF THE QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS, UH, SPECIFICALLY WITH ITEM NUMBER TWO THAT, UH, WE'VE HEARD FROM THE COMMUNITY.

SO APOLOGIES FOR THAT ISSUE, UH, WITH, UH, THE WORK SESSION VIDEO.

SO, WITH THAT, LESLIE, THIS, WHATEVER YOU DID, THIS ISN'T WORKING NOW, SO YOU'RE GONNA NEED TO CLICK NEXT.

ALRIGHT, SO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS 10.1 ACRES.

UH, IT'S LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF BELTLINE ROAD AND SURVEYOR BOULEVARD.

UH, WITH THIS REQUEST TONIGHT, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO REZONE TO THE BELTLINE DISTRICT, UH, WITH APPROVAL OF A CONCEPT PLAN, AS WELL AS MAJOR WAIVER REQUEST TO SUPPORT A MIXED EAST DEVELOPMENT ON THE SITE.

UH, SO, UH, THE MODERN HISTORY OF THIS SITE, UH, REALLY DATES BACK TO 1978.

UH, AT THAT TIME, IT WAS ZONED, UH, PLAN DEVELOPMENT, UH, REALLY TO SUPPORT A COMMERCIAL LAND USE PATTERN SIMILAR TO WHAT EXISTS ON THE SITE TODAY.

UM, AND THEN IN 1983, THE FIRST BUILDING, UH, THAT EXISTS NOW WAS CONSTRUCTED ON THE SITE.

SO THAT TWO STORY OFFICE BUILDING AT THE SOUTHERN LIMIT OF THE PROPERTY, UH, WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 83.

IT WAS INITIALLY USED FOR FURNITURE SALES, AND THEN OVER TIME IT EVOLVED, UH, FOR OFFICE SPACE, UH, LARGELY FOR LAW OFFICE USE.

UM, IN 88, UH, WHAT IS NOW THE 42 50 EVENT VENUE, UH, WAS CONSTRUCTED, UM, IN ADDITION TO BEING A EVENT VENUE AND CATERING LOCATION, IT HAS OVER TIME SERVED, UH, A VARIETY OF RESTAURANT CONCEPTS.

AND THEN IN 92, UH, THERE WAS ANOTHER ZONING ACTION, UH, MODIFYING THE, UH, PD THAT WAS ADOPTED IN 78 TO, UH, ADDRESS SOME DEVELOPMENT STANDARD REFINEMENTS.

AND, UH, THAT ALSO INCLUDED CONSTRUCTION OF THE RESTAURANT BUILDING THAT IS NOW THE BACK NINE.

OVER THE YEARS, THERE'S BEEN MANY DIFFERENT RESTAURANT CONCEPTS IN THAT BUILDING AS WELL.

UH, 1995 ADDITIONAL PARKING WAS CONSTRUCTED, UH, REALLY WHAT YOU SEE, THAT LARGE VACANT LOT THAT HAS A, A, UH, SEMI-TRUCK ON IT IN THIS IMAGE, UH, THAT WAS CONSTRUCTED AT THAT TIME.

AND THEN IN 2005, THE, UM, LAST CONSTRUCTION OCCURRED ON THIS SITE, AND THAT WAS, UH, THE CONSTRUCTION OF, UH, WHAT USED TO BE A WELLS FARGO BANK.

UH, IT IS NOW A VACANT BANK, AND IT HAS BEEN, UH, SINCE THE PANDEMIC.

UH, THERE IS ALSO 1.6 ACRES OF VACANT LAND ON THE TRACT AS WELL.

UM, OUR PRESENTATION IS GONE.

THERE WE GO.

THANK YOU.

SO THE, UH, CONCEPT PLAN PROPOSED BY THE APPLICANT, UH, ADDRESSES, UH, THREE PRIMARY LAND USES, UH, AT THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE SITE.

YOU SEE A MIXED USE MULTI-FAMILY BUILDING.

THAT BUILDING, UH, IS FIVE STORIES AT THE BELTLINE ROAD FRONTAGE, AND THEN IT TRANSITIONS TO FOUR STORIES AS YOU MOVE FURTHER SOUTH IN THE SITE.

UH, AT THAT FRONTAGE, IT HAS LIVE WORK UNITS AT THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

AND ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING, IT ACCOMMODATES TWO TENANT SPACES, UH, 12,000 SQUARE FEET IN TOTAL OF RETAIL AND FUTURE RESTAURANT SPACE.

IT ALSO HAS THE LEASING AND AMENITY SPACE, UH, IN THAT, UH, FRONT FACADE AS WELL.

UM, AS YOU TRANSITION AWAY FROM THE BELTLINE FRONT EDGE, IT DROPS DOWN TO FOUR STORIES.

AND IN THAT FOUR STORY COMPONENT OF THE BUILDING, IT'S ALL MULTIFAMILY UNITS.

UH, IT INCLUDES 394 MULTIFAMILY UNITS AND NINE LIVE WORK UNITS FOR A TOTAL OF 403 DWELLING UNITS.

UH, AT THE EASTERN QUADRANT, NORTHEASTERN QUADRANT OF THE SITE, YOU HAVE A AREA PROGRAMMED AS A RESTAURANT PLAZA.

SO THAT INCLUDES THREE FREE STORE FREESTANDING RESTAURANTS, UH, CUMULATIVELY 7,000 SQUARE FEET IN FLOOR AREA, AND THEN A CIVIC SPACE WITH ADDITIONAL SEATING.

UH, THERE'S PATIO AREAS, UH, ENHANCED LANDSCAPE, PUBLIC ART AS WELL.

AND AT THE SOUTHERN LIMIT OF THE PROJECT, UH, YOU HAVE, UH, WHAT IS REALLY A TRANSITION ZONE.

AND THAT TRANSITION ZONE INCLUDES, UH, 25, UH, OWNERSHIP TOWN HOME LOTS.

UH, THAT ALLOWS FOR A HEIGHT AND, UH, DENSITY TRANSITION TO THE, UH, EXISTING RENTAL AND OWNERSHIP CONDOS TO THE SOUTH.

UM, WITH THIS, UH, IT INCLUDES 2.2 ACRES OF LANDSCAPE AREA.

THAT INCLUDES A PRIVATE DOG PARK AND PRIVATE PARK.

AND THEN ALSO, UH, THERE'S A PARKING STRUCTURE THAT'S WRAPPED BY THE MULTI-FAMILY BUILDING THAT SERVES THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS AS WELL AS THE BULK OF THE RETAIL AND RESTAURANT USE AS WELL.

ALRIGHT, SO ON THE TOPIC OF PARKING, THERE'S 740 PARKING SPACES IN TOTAL.

THAT INCLUDES,

[00:10:01]

UH, AND THEN ALSO IT HAS, UH, WITH THE TOWN HOMES 50, UH, ENCLOSED GARAGE SPACES AND AN ADDITIONAL 55 SURFACE PARKING SPACES FOR VISITOR AND RETAIL USE THAT ARE, UH, PRIMARILY DISTRIBUTED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROJECT.

BUT THERE'S ALSO SOME ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PROJECT, UH, FOCUSED ON VISITOR USE FOR THE TOWN HOMES.

UM, WITH THIS, THIS IS A PRIVATE STREET DEVELOPMENT, SO PARKING WILL BE MANAGED AND A CONSIDERATION OF A FUTURE PROPERTY OWNER ASSOCIATION THAT, UH, THE MASTER DEVELOPER WOULD MANAGE, UH, OPEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPE.

WE MENTIONED THE 2.2 ACRES OF LANDSCAPE AREA.

ALSO, UH, A PRIMARY CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS SITE IS IT'S HIGHLY CONNECTED FOR PEDESTRIANS.

A 10 FOOT TRAIL ALONG BELT LINE WILL BE ACCOMMODATED, THEN A VARIABLE WITH TRAIL ALONG SURVEYOR, AND THEN THERE'S INTERNAL SIDEWALK AND TRAIL LOOPS THROUGHOUT THE SITE TO PROVIDE A, UH, A WALKING LOOP, UH, THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT, CONSISTENT WITH ITS PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED NATURE.

THE PROPOSED, UH, FACADE PLAN FOR THE MULTI-FAMILY BUILDING, WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS, UH, IN THE TOP TWO IMAGES, THE FRONT FACADE, THE BELTLINE FACING FACADE, UH, MAJOR CHARACTERISTIC THERE, YOU SEE THAT GROUND FLOOR, UH, WHICH PRESENTS A 20 FOOT CEILING HEIGHT, UH, FOR THE NON-RESIDENTIAL USES.

THE LIVE WORK UNITS HAVE, UH, TWO LEVELS TO THEM WITHIN THAT 20 FOOT, UH, CEILING HEIGHT ENVELOPE.

AND THEN YOU HAVE THREE STORIES OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS ABOVE THOSE.

UM, THE MAX HEIGHT FOR THE FIVE STORY PORTION OF THE BUILDING IS 63 AND A HALF FEET.

UH, AND IT DROPS DOWN TO A TYPICAL HEIGHT AT THAT FIVE STORY OF 58 FEET.

UH, FOR PERSPECTIVE, THE LIVE WORK UNIT, UH, THAT'S CURRENTLY BEING BUILT IN ADDISON GROVE, UH, NEXT TO RAISING CANES, THAT BUILDING IS FOUR STORIES AND 53.5 FEET.

SO THE FOUR STORY COMPONENT OF THIS BUILDING IS 48 FEET, SO THAT'S ACTUALLY SHORTER THAN THAT LIVE WORK BUILDING.

AND THEN WITH THIS, UH, THERE'S A PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL TRANSITION AT THE FRONT FACADE.

ONE, THERE'S A 65 FOOT SETBACK IN THE BUILDING AT THE MIDPOINT OF THE BUILDING.

SO IT, IT, IT SETS BACK FROM BELTLINE FOR A LARGE PORTION OF THE BUILDING.

AND THEN ALSO 110 FEET DEEP INTO THE BUILDING IS THE TRANSITION.

FROM FIVE STORIES TO FOUR STORIES, THERE ARE SEVERAL, UH, LARGE AMENITY AREAS, UH, WITHIN THE BUILDING, UH, THREE COURTYARDS AND THEN ALSO TWO, UM, UH, UH, THIRD LEVEL AND A FIFTH LEVEL OUTDOOR AMENITY SPACE, UH, OVERLOOKING, UH, THE AREA TO THE NORTH.

SO FOR THE THREE PROPOSED FREESTANDING RETAIL BUILDINGS, THOSE ARE ALL SINGLE STORY BUILDINGS.

THEY VARY IN HEIGHT FROM 20 TO 30 FEET.

THE PRIMARY CHARACTERISTIC OF THOSE BUILDINGS IS, UH, AMPLE PATIO AREA AND LOTS OF INTERACTION VIA GLAZING BETWEEN THE PATIO AREA AND THE INTERIOR DINING AREA, FILLING A GAP IN THE RESTAURANT MARKET, UH, HERE IN ADDISON.

UH, ALSO HOW THEY'RE ORIENTED, UH, AND MORE OF A SOCIAL SETTING.

A, UH, A REALLY A, UH, A SOCIAL DISTRICT AROUND THAT CIVIC PLAZA IS, IS CRITICAL TO THE PROGRAMMING OF THAT SPACE.

THE PROPOSED OWNERSHIP TOWN HOMES, UH, LIKE, UH, THE OTHER RECENTLY DEVELOPED AND PROPOSED TOWN HOMES IN THIS AREA ARE THREE STORY, UH, BUILDINGS.

UH, THEY ARE PRIMARILY COMPRISED OF, UH, BRICK AND, UH, FIBER BOARD MATERIAL.

UH, THEY'LL HAVE ENTRIES AT THE GROUND FLOOR IN SMALL COURTYARD SPACES AS WELL TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL, UH, PRIVATE, UH, LANDSCAPE AREA.

THE FACADE MOVES, UH, BACK AND FORTH, UH, BOTH HORIZONTALLY AND VERTICALLY.

AND THE, THE ROOF, UH, PATTERN IS MODIFIED AS WELL TO PROVIDE FOR VISUAL INTEREST.

SO THE UNIT MIX, UH, AS HAS BEEN PRESENTED BY THE APPLICANT, UH, FOR THE DEMOGRAPHICS THAT THEY ARE, UH, PLANNING FOR, UH, SKUS, UH, CERTAINLY TWO ONE BEDROOM UNITS, UH, WITH 300 OF THE 403 UNITS BEING ONE BEDROOM.

UH, THE REMAINDER ARE LARGELY, UH, TWO BEDROOM UNITS.

AND THEN YOU HAVE THE EIGHT THREE BEDROOM AND NINE LIVE WORK UNITS.

AND THEN OF COURSE, THE 25 TOWN HOMES.

UH, THE FLOOR PLAN AND PROGRAMMING FOR THOSE TOWN HOMES, UH, ARE GOING TO BE SUBJECT TO THEIR PENDING PARTNERSHIP WITH A TOWNHOME DEVELOPER.

UH, THE UNIT SIZES, IT HAS A MINIMUM, SO ONE BEDROOM UNIT OF 623 SQUARE FEET, AND THEN THE LARGEST ARE JUST UNDER 1500 SQUARE FEET.

UM, SOME SUSTAINABILITY CONDITIONS THAT THE APPLICANT HAS PROPOSED INCLUDES, UH, SILVER

[00:15:01]

OUR TYPICAL, UM, REQUIREMENTS WITH REGARDS TO QUALITY OF INTERIOR CONSTRUCTION, UH, RECYCLING, AND THEN ALSO THEY'LL PROVIDE 30 ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS ON SITE AS WELL.

SO, UH, ANYTIME WE REVIEW A REZONING REQUEST, UH, THE, UH, PROCESS OF REVIEWING AND EVALUATING THAT REQUEST REALLY BE BEGINS WITH TOWN POLICIES THAT APPLY TO THE REQUEST.

UH, MOST NOTABLY WOULD BE THE TOWN'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, BUT ALSO THERE'S SEVERAL, UH, UH, OTHER PLANNING EFFORTS, UH, DISTRICTS, AS WELL AS, UH, SOME, UM, INFRASTRUCTURE SPECIFIC PLANS THAT APPLY TO THIS AS WELL.

SO THAT INCLUDES THE BELTLINE CORRIDOR VISION, WHICH WAS ADOPTED IN 2006, AS WELL AS THE BELTLINE DISTRICT AND THE BELTLINE ROAD ENHANCEMENT PLAN.

UM, ALSO WE HAVE THE TOWN'S, UH, MASTER THOROUGH REPAIR PLAN PARKS AND TRAIL MASTER PLAN.

WE WILL START WITH THE BELTLINE CORRIDOR VISION.

SO IN 2006, THE TOWN, UH, ENGAGED A PLANNING CONSULTANT TO WORK, UH, WITH STAFF AND THE COMMUNITY AND ULTIMATELY P N Z AND CITY COUNCIL TO ADOPT, UH, AND DEVELOP A VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF THE BELTLINE CORRIDOR.

IT FOCUSED ON REDEVELOPMENT NEEDS THAT, UH, WERE PRESENT AT THAT TIME AND, AND DO STILL EXIST TODAY.

UM, THE PLAN CALLED REALLY TO REINVENT THE CORRIDOR TO BE MORE PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY.

AND, AND TO DO THAT IT CALLED FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF A DIVERSE MIX OF USES AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AT KEY LOCATIONS IN THE CORRIDOR.

SO IT SPECIFICALLY CALLED OUT, UM, THE NEED FOR, UH, MIXED USE RETAIL, RESIDENTIAL, AND OFFICE SPACE.

UM, IT ALSO, UH, IDENTIFIED A SERIES OF SUBDISTRICTS THROUGHOUT THE CORRIDOR.

FOR THIS PARTICULAR AREA, IT WAS DESIGNATED AS THE LAY LOCK SUBDISTRICT, AND IT, UH, IDENTIFIED SPECIFIC STANDARDS FOR THAT DEVELOPMENT AND FUTURE REDEVELOPMENT IN THAT DISTRICT.

ALSO, OF NOTE WITH THE PLAN, UH, AND CURRENT CONDITIONS IS, UH, PARTICULARLY WITH THE LAY LOCK SUBDISTRICT, IS ITS PROXIMITY TO THE REDDING TRAIL AND ITS FUTURE PROXIMITY TO, UH, THE COTTON BELT TRAIL, WHICH WILL BE TO THE NORTH OF BELTLINE ROAD.

UM, SO, UH, THAT IS A KEY COMPONENT OF PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY.

UH, WITH THE 2013 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, UH, THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE BELTLINE CORRIDOR VISION WAS ACKNOWLEDGED AND CARRIED FORWARD, AND IT IDENTIFIED THROUGH A, UH, SECTION OF THE PLAN CALLED MIXED USE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT IDENTIFIED EXISTING MIXED USE NEIGHBORHOODS.

SO, UM, PARTICULARLY ADDISON CIRCLE, VITRUVIAN PARK, AND THEN IDENTIFIED POTENTIAL FUTURE MIXED USE NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND THE AREA BETWEEN MIDWAY ROAD AND SURVEYOR BOULEVARD WAS IDENTIFIED AS A MIXED USE NEIGHBORHOOD, A FUTURE NEIGHBORHOOD CONSISTENT WITH THE BELTLINE CORRIDOR VISION.

UM, IT SPOKE TO THINGS SUCH AS, UH, THE PREFERENCE OR EMERGING PREFERENCE FOR MILLENNIALS TO, UH, UH, WANT TO LIVE IN OR NEAR MIXED USE NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND THEN IT ALSO, UH, IDENTIFIED, UM, UH, FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY, UH, AND OTHER LOCATIONS ALONG THE BELTLINE, THAT MIXED USE PATTERN.

SO WITH THE REGULATORY COMPONENT OF THE BELTLINE CORRIDOR VISION, THE TOWN ADOPTED A FORMAL ZONING ORDINANCE TO IMPLEMENT THE BELTLINE CORRIDOR VISION.

SO THAT IS THE BELTLINE DISTRICT, WHICH IS WHAT IS BEING REQUESTED BY THE APPLICANT, AND WHAT IS USED BY THE TOWN TO SHAPE, UH, LARGE SCALE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS LIKE THIS IN THE BELTLINE CORRIDOR.

SO IN THAT DISTRICT, IT ESTABLISHES INTENT STATEMENTS AND GOALS THAT ONCE AGAIN MIMIC THE PREVIOUS TWO POLICIES THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED.

UH, SPEAKING OF HAVING A VARIETY OF HOUSING, RETAIL, AND OFFICE USES, PROVIDING A MIX OF RESIDENTIAL, RETAIL AND OFFICE USES IN A PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT.

UH, AND IT ALSO IDENTIFIED, UM, WHAT USES WERE PERMITTED AND WHAT USES ARE NOT PERMITTED WITH REGARDS TO HOUSING.

AND, AND THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY, IT IDENTIFIED THE FULL RANGE OF URBAN HOUSING TYPES BEING PERMITTED BY RIGHT ON THIS PROPERTY.

SO WITH THIS DISTRICT, UH, IDENTIFYING AND REGULATING REDEVELOPMENT IN THE BELTLINE DISTRICT, AND THOSE TWO POLICIES, THIS PARTICULAR MIXED USE PROPOSAL STRONGLY COMPLIES WITH TOWN POLICY AS WELL AS THE DISTRICT THAT IS TO BE USED TO IMPLEMENT THAT TOWN POLICY IN THE BELTLINE CORRIDOR.

SO ANOTHER POLICY THAT, UH, CERTAINLY, UH, IS, UH, INTEGRAL TO THE CONSIDERATION OF THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT IS THE TOWN'S HOUSING POLICY.

THERE'S FIVE COMPONENTS TO IT.

UH, THE FIRST COMPONENT IS THE ONE THAT WE,

[00:20:01]

WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT SOME MORE.

IT ALSO ADDRESSES A BEST FIT MIX OF USES, CONSIDERATION OF SENIOR HOUSING, UM, CREATING AND ENHANCING NEIGHBORHOODS OF URBAN CHARACTER.

UH, AND THEN ALSO IT SPEAKS TO EXCEPTIONAL PROJECTS THAT MAY NOT FULLY, UH, COMPLY WITH THIS POLICY.

SO IT'S, IT CAN BE A, A COMPLEX REVIEW.

SO WITH REGARDS TO THIS PROJECT, UM, IT OBVIOUSLY IS NOT, UH, POSITIVELY IMPACTING THE RATIO OF OWNERSHIP TO, TO RENTAL HOUSING THAT'S JUST NOT HAPPENING HERE.

AND IT'S A, A CHALLENGE AND, AND WHAT IS BEING STATED BY THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY HERE AND, AND WHAT TOWN STAFF HAS OBSERVED IS IT'S NOT FEASIBLE.

IT'S CERTAINLY APPROPRIATE, BUT IT'S NOT FEASIBLE AT THIS LOCATION.

DUE TO SOME OF THE CHALLENGES AND OTHER MARKET DYNAMICS THERE, THERE IS A LARGE SINGLE FAMILY PROPERTY THAT IS IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST THAT IS YET TO BUILD OUT.

SO HAVING MANY MORE TOWN HOMES ON THIS SITE AS WELL, IS PROBABLY A CHALLENGE.

THE 25 TOWN HOMES THAT THEY ARE PROVIDING CAN BE SUPPORTED BY THE MARKET, BUT MULTIPLYING THAT BY EIGHT OR SIX AND DOING 150 TO 200 ON THIS SITE WOULD BE A CHALLENGE.

CONDOS ARE ANOTHER VIABLE OWNERSHIP HOUSING TYPE THAT WOULD BE GREAT HERE, AND I WOULD LOVE TO BRING THAT, THAT PROJECT TO YOU.

BUT WE'VE GOTTEN NO MARKET INTEREST FOR A LARGE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT LIKE THIS FOR CONDO DEVELOPMENT.

UH, THEY'VE PRESENTED INFORMATION AT THE COMMUNITY MEETING THAT ALSO SPEAKS TO THAT.

SO WITH THAT, GIVEN THAT THIS PROJECT STRONGLY COMPLIES WITH THE OTHER TOWN POLICIES AND PROVIDES AN URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED AND PROVIDES FOR A MIX OF USES THAT DOES ADD OWNERSHIP HOUSING, WE DO FEEL THAT, UH, THIS MERITS CONSIDERATION AS AN EXCEPTIONAL PROJECT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE HOUSING POLICY.

SO, UH, ANOTHER THING WE TALK ABOUT A LOT IS OUR HOUSING MIX.

UH, WE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS, UH, IN THE FEBRUARY COMMUNITY MEETING AND, UM, TO INFORM THIS DISCUSSION AND WHAT'S OCCURRED SINCE THAT MEETING.

WE'VE PROVIDED UPDATED COUNTS FOR THIS.

UM, SO THE COLUMN ON THE LEFT SHOWS EXISTING, SO WE'RE 78%, UH, 21%, UH, RENTAL TO OWNERSHIP HOUSING.

UM, WITH, UH, CONSIDERATION OF WHAT'S BEEN APPROVED, UM, SINCE THAT MEETING AND WHAT WAS HISTORICALLY APPROVED, SUCH AS THE LARGE SCALE REDEVELOPMENT OF A TRIVIAN PARK, IF THIS PARTICULAR APPLICATION WERE TO BE APPROVED, OUR FUTURE HOUSING MIX, IF EVERYTHING WAS BUILT OUT AS APPROVED, WOULD BE 83.2% RENTAL TO 16 POINT, UH, 8% OWNERSHIP.

THE ONE CAVEAT I'LL THROW OUT THERE IS I MAY BE RETIRED BEFORE VITRUVIAN PARK DEVELOPS, AND THAT'S GONNA BE A 15 TO 20 YEAR BUILD OUT, PARTICULARLY FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE EXISTING HOUSING.

SO THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.

SO LAST TIME WE HAD A PROJECT IN THIS AREA TOO, WE LOOKED AT THE, UH, MORE, UM, UH, IMMEDIATE MIX OF HOUSING IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA.

SO WE LOOKED AT THE AREA THAT TAKES ACCESS FROM BELTWAY OR FROM PROTON.

WITH THIS PROJECT, IF IT WERE TO BE APPROVED, IT WOULD SHIFT THAT MIX TO BEING 54% OWNERSHIP TO 46% RENTAL, UH, WITH A LARGE AMOUNT OF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AT THE CORRIDOR FRONTAGES AS WELL.

SO REALLY A, A MIXED USE NEIGHBORHOOD AND A MIXED HOUSING NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THESE ZONING APPLICATIONS, UM, OBVIOUSLY, UH, BEYOND THE POLICY CONSIDERATIONS WE WANT TO CONSIDER AND EVALUATE THE IMPACTS, UH, ON THE COMMUNITY.

SO THE FIRST ONE THAT HAS COME UP A LOT OF COURSE IN THE DISCUSSION HAS BEEN, UH, THE IMPACT OF TRAFFIC.

UH, SO WITH THIS REQUEST, THE APPLICANT PREPARED A T I A, UH, AND HAS PRESENTED THAT T A IN THE PACKET.

UH, SO WITH THAT, THEY LOOKED, UM, THE, THE, UH, OUTCOMES OF THAT T I A WAS CERTAINLY THAT TRAFFIC WAS GOING TO INCREASE IF YOU CONSIDER THE EXISTING SITE AND WHAT'S ALL THERE NOW.

AND IF IT WAS PERFORMING HEALTH HEALTHY AND IT WAS VIBRANT AND ACTIVE, THAT INCREASE WOULD NOT BE AS SIGNIFICANT.

BUT BECAUSE THE EXISTING USES ARE, ARE LARGELY IN DECLINE, UH, THE TRAFFIC IS DIFFERENCES A LITTLE GREATER, AND THEY ACCOUNTED FOR THAT, UH, IN THEIR T I A.

UM, SO WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE EXISTING SITE, THERE'S 600 PARKING SPACES THERE.

CERTAINLY THOSE ARE, ARE NEVER FILLED

[00:25:01]

BUT IF, IF IT WERE TO PERFORM AS IT WAS DESIGNED, IT WOULD BE A VERY ACTIVE SITE.

UM, WITH THIS T I A, OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF WHAT WE'VE HEARD, UH, RELATED TO IMPACT ON BELTWAY DUE TO THE ACCESS CONDITION.

SO THROUGH THIS IMAGE, YOU SEE THAT THERE'S THREE POINTS OF ACCESS TO THE SITE, UH, ONE ON BELTLINE ROAD, ONE TO RUNYON ROAD, WHICH THEN CONNECTS YOU NORTH TO BELTLINE ROAD, UH, AND THEN ONE ON SURVEYOR.

UM, SO THIS ACCESS CONFIGURATION IS ABOUT AS GOOD AS YOU CAN GET FOR A MIXED USE PROJECT IN THIS CONTEXT THAT IS A BENEFIT TO THIS PROJECT.

UH, THE OTHER THING I WOULD SHARE IS, UH, A CONFIGURATION LIKE THIS IN THIS LOCATION, UM, ADDISON'S VERY CENTRALLY LOCATED IN THE REGION.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY DRIVERS AT THIS SITE THAT'S GOING TO SAY EVERYONE IN THIS SITE IS GONNA GO SOUTH ALWAYS, OR EVERYONE'S GONNA GO EAST OR WEST OR NORTH.

UH, THERE'S ACCESS, THERE WILL BE PEOPLE GOING TO PLANO, THERE'LL BE PEOPLE GOING TO IRVING RICHARDSON, DALLAS.

SO IT'S VERY, THE TRAFFIC WILL BE VERY WELL DISTRIBUTED.

SO, UM, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK ABOUT THE SURVEYOR ACCESS POINT.

THE APPLICANT HAS DONE AN ACTION TO MITIGATE THAT, AND THAT THEY'RE PROVIDING FOR A MEDIAN AT THAT ACCESS POINT TO FORCE TRAFFIC LEAVING THE SITE TO GO NORTH AND NOT BE ABLE TO GO SOUTH.

UM, WITH THAT, THEIR T I A ALSO DOES SUGGEST THAT THERE'S A VERY MINOR TRAFFIC IMPACT ON BELTWAY DRIVE FOR TRAFFIC GOING TO THIS SITE OR COMING FROM THIS SITE.

SO NO MORE THAN 20 AT PEAK HOUR.

THAT IS A, A VERY SMALL IMPACT.

MOST OF THE IMPACT ON TRAFFIC FROM BELTWAY DRIVE IS FROM THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT CAN ONLY TAKE ACCESS FROM BELTWAY DRIVE.

SO ON THE TOPIC OF BELTWAY DRIVE, I JUMPED AHEAD.

UH, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KIND OF SEPARATE THAT ISSUE FROM THE ISSUE OF THIS PROJECT.

SO THERE'S, UH, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT TRAFFIC, THERE'S CONSIDERATIONS RELATED TO TRAFFIC VOLUME, BUT THEN ALSO STREET SAFETY ISSUES RELATED TO THE DESIGN OF THE STREET AND HOW THAT IMPACTS DRIVER BEHAVIOR.

SO THIS PARTICULAR STREET, UH, ADJACENT TO THIS LOCATION IS 34 FEET WIDE.

THAT IS A RESIDENTIAL COLLECTOR.

THAT'S A FAIRLY STANDARD DESIGN, BUT USUALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A DESIGN LIKE THAT, IT'S A STREET THAT MAY HAVE PARKING ON EACH SIDE OF THE STREET AND TWO TRAVEL LANES, OR IT MAY HAVE A CENTER TURN LANE WHERE IT CONSTRICTS THE FREEDOM OF DRIVERS ON THAT PARTICULAR ROADWAY.

WITH THIS DESIGN, ADDISON DOES NOT ALLOW PARKING, WHICH IS A GOOD THING.

UM, BUT IT ALSO DOES NOT HAVE A NEED FOR A CENTER TURN LANE.

SO THERE'S TOO MUCH PAVEMENT, UH, THERE'S EXCESS PAVEMENT FOR DRIVERS.

SO IT, IT REALLY CREATES A CONDITION THAT IT MAKES IT INCREDIBLY COMFORTABLE TO GO FAST.

AND, UH, ALSO IT MAKES IT INCREDIBLY COMFORTABLE FOR PEOPLE TO, TO MISS THINGS SUCH AS STOP SIGNS OR INTERSECTIONS.

SO THAT WILL BE ADDRESSED WITH TRAFFIC CALMING EFFORTS.

SO THERE WILL BE A BIKE LANE ON THAT ROADWAY IN THE, THE NEAR FUTURE THAT WILL CONSTRICT SOME OF THOSE TRAVEL LANES AND MAKE IT, UH, E HARDER TO SPEED DOWN THAT STREET.

SO JUST ONE THING I THINK IS CRITICAL TO THIS DISCUSSION.

IT'S, IT'S, WHILE WITH THE MIDWAY ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECT, IT'S ADDED MORE TRAFFIC, THE TRAFFIC VOLUME UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS IS, IS CERTAINLY NOT OVERWHELMING.

THE, THE TRUE ISSUES ARE WITH PEOPLE NOT OBEYING THE LAWS AND, AND THE DESIGN OF THE STREET CONTRIBUTES TO THAT.

IT REALLY NEEDS TRAFFIC CALMING TO IMPROVE THAT.

THE LAND USE PATTERN, I THINK, IS ALSO VERY CRITICAL TO THIS CONSIDERATION.

UH, IT'S VERY DIVERSE AND I THINK WITH HOW THE APPLICANT HAS LAID OUT THEIR SITE PLAN, IT TRANSITIONS BOTH IN USE AND SCALE.

SO AT THE SOUTHERN LIMIT OF THEIR PROPERTY, THEY HAVE THREE STORY TOWN HOMES ADJACENT TO TWO AND THREE STORY RENTAL AND OWNERSHIP CONDOS TO THE NORTH, THEY HAVE A FOUR AND FIVE STORY BUILDING, AND IT'S A ADJACENT, OR NEARLY ADJACENT TO A FOUR STORY MULTIFAMILY BUILDING TO THE EAST, AS WELL AS A FOUR STORY LIVE WORK BUILDING TO THE WEST.

THERE'S OFFICE USE, THERE'S THREE STORY TOWN HOMES TO THE NORTH.

THERE'S A LOT OF ONE AND TWO STORY RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL SPACE.

SO THERE'S NO LAND USE ADJACENCIES THAT ARE IN GREAT CONFLICT WITH THIS PARTICULAR PROPOSAL.

ALSO, WITH THIS PROJECT, OF COURSE, UM, ANYTIME YOU REDEVELOP A SITE, UH, THE IMPACT ON TREES IS A, IS A MAJOR CONSIDERATION.

SO WITH THIS, THEY ARE PRESERVING 50% OF THE EXISTING TREES ON THE SITE.

AND THE GREATEST BENEFIT OF THAT IS THEY'RE PRESERVING MANY OF THE TREES AT THE EDGES, THE TREES THAT WE SEE, UH, FROM THE STREETS THAT WE DRIVE AND WALK DOWN.

SO THE BELTLINE

[00:30:01]

UH, THE LAST THING I WANT TO ADDRESS, UH, THAT I I COVERED AT THE FRONT END OF THE DISCUSSION WAS MAJOR WAIVER REQUESTS.

SO THE BELTLINE DISTRICT IS A FORM-BASED DISTRICT THAT, UH, PARTICULARLY FOR REDEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS, REQUIRES A CONSIDERATION OF FLEXIBILITY TO IMPLEMENT PROJECTS.

AND ANYTIME YOU'RE REDEVELOPING A SITE AS LARGE AS 10 ACRES AND INTENSIFYING THE USE OF THE SITE, THERE ARE GOING TO BE CHALLENGES FROM A DESIGN STANDPOINT.

SO THE APPLICANT HAS SUBMITTED FIVE MAJOR WAIVER REQUESTS.

FIRST ONE ADDRESSES THE BLOCK LENGTH, UH, RESTRICTING THE MAXIMUM BLOCK LENGTH TO 600 FEET.

THEY EXCEED THAT, UH, BY A SMALL MARGIN.

THE SECOND IS AT THE SURVEY SURVEYOR BOULEVARD FRONTED BUILDING FRONTAGE FOR THE MULTI-FAMILY BUILDING.

THERE'S A REQUIRED STEP BACK OF THE FOURTH STORY OF THE BUILDING, UH, BY A DISTANCE OF EIGHT FEET.

THE THIRD IS FOR ALL RESIDENTIAL ENTRIES.

THERE'S A REQUIREMENT TO HAVE A STOOP CONDITION, UH, THAT IS ELEVATED ABOVE THE SIDEWALK, UH, UH, AT LEAST TWO FEET AND PROVIDE 24 SQUARE FEET OF AREA ON THAT STOOP.

UH, THE FOURTH IS REQUIRING A MINIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT, UH, FOR ALL THE BUILDINGS.

UH, AND IN PARTICULAR THE NON, THE RESTAURANT BUILDINGS, THE FREESTANDING BUILDINGS THAT REQUIRED TO BE TWO STORIES INSTEAD OF ONE.

AND THEN THERE'S A REQUIREMENT FOR PARKING STRUCTURE DESIGN THAT REQUIRES FLAT PARKING DECKS.

UM, SO WE WILL ADDRESS THOSE ONE BY ONE, UH, TO DISCUSS, UM, HOW THE APPLICANT IS ADDRESSING THEM AND, AND STAFF'S POSITION.

SO THE FIRST ONE IS BLOCK LENGTH.

UH, THE APPLICANT COULD EASILY COMPLY, UH, WITH THIS PARTICULAR, UM, COMPONENT OF THE CODE IF THEY SHIFTED THE BUILDING CLOSER TO SURVEYOR, WHICH THE, WHICH THE, UM, STANDARD IN THE BELTLINE DISTRICT DOES ALLOW THEM TO DO THAT.

AND IF THEY MODIFIED THE, UM, MID-BLOCK, UH, ACCESS POINT BY SHIFTING IT TO THE EAST, THAT WOULD TAKE IT AWAY FROM THE MEDIAN CUT ON BELTLINE, WHICH WOULD, UH, DEGRADE TRAFFIC, UH, CIRCULATION ON SITE.

SO GIVEN THAT STAFF DOES SEE BOTH OF THOSE ACTIONS AS A, A NET NEGATIVE, UH, VERSUS THE CURRENT DESIGN, AND WE WOULD ALSO SAY THAT THE, UM, 64 FOOT STEP BACK IN THE BUILDING AT THE MIDBLOCK ALSO, UH, ADDRESSES THAT ISSUE APPROPRIATELY AS WELL.

THIS IS NOT A BIG MASSIVE FRONT FACADE THAT HAS NO BRAKES AND JUST CONTINUES ON FOREVER.

IT DOES STEP BACK 64 FEET, WHICH IS A SUBSTANTIAL ARCHITECTURAL TREATMENT.

UH, THE SECOND MAJOR WAIVER, UH, IS THAT, UH, STEP BACK, UM, FOR THE FOURTH FLOOR, UM, AT THE SURVEYOR BOULEVARD FRONTAGE.

UM, IN LIEU OF PROVIDING THAT THE APPLICANT HAS SET THE ENTIRE BUILDING BACK FURTHER, UH, ALONG SURVEYOR, SO A MINIMUM OF FIVE FEET, BUT AT, UH, PARTICULARLY AT THE BELTLINE FRONTAGE AS MUCH AS 37 FEET.

SO STEPPING BACK THE WHOLE BUILDING VERSUS ONE LEVEL, UH, THEY STAFF DOES FEEL THAT THAT IS, UH, OF MORE BENEFIT.

UH, BUT CERTAINLY IF THEY HAD TO DO THE STEP BACK, UH, THEY WOULD PROBABLY JUST MAKE THOSE UNITS SMALLER, UH, TO ADDRESS THAT.

UM, THE THIRD ITEM IS THE STOOP CONDITION.

SO THOSE GROUND FLOOR UNITS REALLY ARE, ARE PREMIUM UNITS IN THAT, UH, THEY'RE ACCESSIBLE, UH, FROM THE EXTERIOR AND THE INTERIOR OF THE BUILDING.

AND SO ANYTIME YOU HAVE A PREMIUM UNIT, UM, IN MY MIND, IT'S BEST TO USE A UNIVERSAL DESIGN APPROACH, MEANING THAT YOU DESIGN IT WHERE IT CAN BE ACCESSIBLE FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES, ABILITIES, AND ANYONE WITH A DISABILITY.

SO HAVING A STOOP WHERE YOU HAVE TO GO UP STEPS AND THEN TAKING UP THAT LANDSCAPE AREA WITH MORE PAVING, UM, IS NOT THE BEST CONDITION.

WHAT THEY PROPOSE IS MORE CONSISTENT, UH, WITH THE IMAGE, UH, UH, BELOW, UM, THAT SHOWS A, A YARD CONDITION.

SO THAT IS A PRIVATE COURTYARD WHERE IF SOMEONE HAS A DOG, THEY CAN, UH, LET IT HANG OUT IN THERE WHILE THEY'RE SITTING ON THE PATIO.

UM, SO IT IT'S CERTAINLY A, A GREAT FEATURE FOR ANYONE WHO NEEDS THAT SPACE AND, AND I, MY MIND AN AESTHETIC IMPROVEMENT FOR IN THAT IT HAS MORE LANDSCAPE AND IT'S LESS BLANK WALL OF MASONRY LIKE YOU SEE IN THE IMAGE ON TOP.

THEN THE LAST ITEM, TWO ITEMS. THE FIRST ONE IS THE RESTAURANT PLAZA, THE BUILDING HEIGHTS, UH, THE SINGLE STORY BUILDING HEIGHT.

IT, IT REALLY IS A, A NICE TOUCH IN THAT IT'S MORE HUMAN SCALE.

HAVING TWO STORIES WOULD, WOULD KIND OF OVERWHELM THAT RESTAURANT PLAZA AND IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO FILL TWO STORIES

[00:35:01]

SO WE DO FEEL THAT THAT IS APPROPRIATE.

AND THEN THE LAST ITEM IS PARKING STRUCTURE DESIGN.

THAT REQUIREMENT WAS DRAFTED AT A TIME WHERE THERE WAS A LOT OF FREESTANDING PARKING STRUCTURES WHERE, UH, MAYBE CONVERTING THAT TO OFFICE USE OR HOUSING OR SELF STORAGE WAS ENVISIONED AT ONE POINT, BUT THIS IS GONNA BE COMPLETELY ENCLOSED BY A MULTI-FAMILY BUILDING.

SO CONVERTING IT IS NOT REALISTIC OR APPROPRIATE, UH, IN ACCORDANCE WITH TOWN AND STATE REQUIREMENTS.

UH, STAFF DID PROVIDE PUBLIC NOTICE TO 87 PROPERTY OWNERS, UH, WITHIN 200 FEET AS WELL AS DALLAS I S D.

UM, WE RECEIVED THREE RESPONSES FROM PEOPLE, UH, PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THAT NOTICE AREA, ALL IN SUPPORT.

UH, AND THEN STAFF ALSO RECEIVED SIX LETTERS OF SUPPORT FROM RESIDENTS OUTSIDE OF THAT NOTICE AREA, AS WELL AS ONE LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM THE ASBURY CIRCLE, H O A.

UM, WE DID HAVE THE APPLICANT DO COMMUNITY MEETINGS, UH, IN LATE JULY AND EARLY AUGUST, AND THEY DID RECEIVE QUITE A BIT OF FEEDBACK AND CONCERN RELATED TO THINGS SUCH AS TRAFFIC CRIME AS WELL AS THE BUILDING DESIGN.

STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS PROJECT, UH, IN YOUR PACKET.

THERE'S A RANGE OF CONDITIONS THAT ADDRESS THIS RECOMMENDATION.

AND WHAT I WOULD CONCLUDE WITH IS THAT THIS IS A VERY LARGE LAND ASSEMBLY, UH, VERY CHALLENGING TO DO, AND IT ALLOWS THIS SITE TO BE REDEVELOPED IN A COHERENT AND COHESIVE WAY, IN ACCORDANCE STRONGLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH TOWN POLICIES FOR LAND USE AS WELL AS THE BELTLINE DISTRICT.

UM, IF THIS WERE NOT TO BE APPROVED, UH, CERTAINLY CONDITIONS COULD OCCUR WHERE THE SITE KIND OF JUST DOES WHAT IT, WHAT IT'S CURRENTLY DOING, AND, AND THERE'S NOT MUCH INVESTMENT OR THE ALTERNATIVE IS IT, IS IT REDEVELOPS IN A FRAGMENTED WAY AND YOU HAVE THE SAME DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS TRAFFIC, UM, AND, AND YOU DON'T HAVE AS A NICELY DESIGNED PROJECT.

SO STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU KEN.

ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR KEN? RICK, REAL QUICK CLARIFICATION IN YOUR CHART ABOUT RENTAL PERCENTAGES, DOES THAT INCLUDE THE DOWNSIZE THAT HAPPENED AT VITRUVIAN ON THAT CORNER SITE THAT THEY WENT TOWN HOMES INSTEAD OF A YES.

IT, IT IS CURRENT CONDITIONS.

THANK YOU.

AN ADEQUATE QUESTION ON THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE TRAIL SYSTEM, ARE THEY GONNA GO 10 FEET ON SURVEYOR AND EAST WEST ON BELTLINE? IT WILL VARY ON SURVEYOR TO ACCOUNT FOR ENHANCED, UH, TREE PRESERVATION.

UH, BUT BELTLINE IS 10 FEET, SO THERE'S PORTIONS ON SURVEYOR THAT ARE 10.

THERE'LL BE PORTIONS THAT NECK DOWN TO LIKE SIX FEET.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

SO THE APPLICANT IS HERE TONIGHT.

I HAD A QUESTION.

IT'S JULIE.

HEY JULIE, CAN YOU HEAR ME? OKAY? UM, THE, THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING, WHO IS PAYING FOR THAT? IS THAT CITY OR ARE THEY CONTRIBUTING TO THAT TOWARDS THAT? WHEN YOU SAY TRAFFIC LIGHTS, DO YOU MEAN TRAFFIC SIGNALS OR STREET LIGHTS? YEAH.

UH, TRA THE TRAFFIC, THE TRAFFIC SIGNALS EXIST AT BOTH OF THOSE INTERSECTIONS.

I THOUGHT WE WERE DOING SOME IMPROVEMENTS ON THE TRAFFIC FLOW, NOT ARE WE NOT? SO THEY'RE DOING IMPROVEMENTS, UM, AT THEIR SITE ACCESS POINT ON SURVEYOR BOULEVARD.

THEY ARE GOING TO DO A, INSTALL A MEDIAN TO RESTRICT SOUTHBOUND MOVEMENTS, UH, ON SURVEYOR.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, THANKS.

ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR KEN? ALL RIGHT.

I UNDER THE APPLICANT IS HERE TONIGHT AND I UNDERSTAND YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE A PRESENTATION.

I WILL BRING UP A PRESENTATION IN A SECOND.

HE'S GOTTA SHARE IT ALL.

THANK YOU, UH, APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S TIME THIS EVENING.

UH, MY NAME'S JOEL BARONS, UH, WITH TRAMMELL CROW COMPANY, UH, DEVELOPING THIS PROJECT, UM, UNDER THE HIGH STREET RESIDENTIAL BRAND.

AND I'LL, I'LL EXPLAIN THAT IN A MINUTE, MINUTE, BUT APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S TIME, APPRECIATE STAFF'S TIME, UM, OVER THE LAST YEAR PLUS TO, TO GET HERE TONIGHT AND, AND THE COMMUNITY'S TIME OVER THE PAST THREE TO FOUR WEEKS.

AND, AND SO WITH THAT, UM, WE DON'T WANNA TAKE A LOT OF TIME.

I THINK KEN DID A GREAT JOB LAYING EVERYTHING OUT.

UH, WE'LL BE HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AS WELL, BUT WANTED TO GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW.

I'M, I'M GONNA HIT THE FIRST COUPLE SLIDES.

UH, MY COLLEAGUE KEVIN HICKMAN'S GONNA SPEAK TO A COUPLE, AND THEN I'LL, I'LL CLOSE IT WITH THE LAST COUPLE.

SO WITH THAT, UM, LIKE I SAID, I'M WITH TRAMMELL CROW COMPANY.

WHEN WE DEVELOP MIXED USE RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS, WE DO IT UNDER THE HIGH STREET RESIDENTIAL BRAND.

I JUST WANNA MAKE THAT POINT OF CLARIFICATION.

BOTH OF THESE

[00:40:01]

UH, TRAMMELL CROW COMPANY IS THE LARGEST REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER IN THE COUNTRY FOR THE LAST NINE YEARS.

WE'RE FOUNDED HERE IN DALLAS, 75 YEARS AGO BY TRAMELL CROW, THE INDIVIDUAL.

UM, AND, YOU KNOW, WE REALLY TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN THE WORK THAT WE DO AND, AND THE, OUR ABILITY, I THINK, TO WORK WITH COMMUNITIES AND TRY AND, UM, BUILD WHAT'S RIGHT, UH, ON THE RIGHT SITES.

AND YOU'LL SEE THAT IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

I MEAN, WELL FIRST BEFORE WE GET TO THE NEXT SLIDE, I'LL SAY SUPPORTED BY A TEAM THAT GETS UP EVERY DAY AND WORKS ON PROJECTS LIKE THAT.

UM, A HANDFUL OF THESE FOLKS ARE HERE WITH ME THIS EVENING, AND, UM, BUT A, A LARGER TEAM, UM, EXISTS AS WELL.

IT'S, WE BUILD PRODUCT, UH, OR, UM, REAL ESTATE AND OFFICE, INDUSTRIAL AND MULTIFAMILY AND MIXED USE PROJECT.

THE FOLKS ON THAT SCREEN FOCUSED ON MULTIFAMILY AND MIXED USE PROJECTS EVERY DAY AS A COMPANY.

UH, WE'RE ACTIVE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

UM, BUT REALLY THE TEAM THAT YOU SAW ON THE SCREEN AND AND MYSELF REALLY FOCUSES IN NORTH TEXAS HERE.

IF WE GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, UH, LOCALLY, THIS IS JUST A COLLECTION OF SOME OF THE PROJECTS WE'VE DONE.

I THINK IT'S HOPE YOU FIND IT ILLUSTRATIVE OF SOME REALLY BEST IN CLASS PROJECTS.

UM, SOME URBAN, SOME SUBURBAN, SOME MID-RISE, SOME GARDENS, SOME HIGH-RISE.

THE COMMON THEME IS WE REALLY LEAN IN ON BEST IN CLASS EXECUTIONS REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF PRODUCT WE'RE BUILDING AND, AND REALLY JUST TRY TO FIND THE BEST LOCATIONS TO BUILD THE BEST PRODUCT AND THE BEST SELL MARKETS.

AND WE THINK THAT'S WHAT THIS OPPORTUNITY REPRESENTS.

UM, PRESENTLY IN NORTH TEXAS, WE HAVE ABOUT 1,000,000,005 IN PROCESS.

UM, AND WITH THAT, I'M GONNA HAND IT OFF TO, TO KEVIN, BUT BEFORE I DO, I JUST WANNA GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF A BACKGROUND ABOUT THE ENG ENGAGE, LIKE, UM, THE PURSUIT OF THE SITE.

UM, AND SO AS KEN MENTIONED, UM, IT'S A COLLECTION OF BUILDINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, ARE AS OLD AS 40 YEARS OLD AND, YOU KNOW, AS NEW AS 20 ISH YEARS OLD.

AND SO, UM, THE SITE'S OWNED BY TWO GROUPS.

WE DO NOT OWN IT.

UH, WE HAVE IT UNDER CONTRACT.

WE STARTED PURSUING THE OPPORTUNITY ABOUT A FEW YEARS AGO.

UM, INITIALLY WE HAD, UH, CONTROLLED THE LAND THAT'S OWNED BY THE PAPAS OUT OF HOUSTON.

UM, THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE OFFICE BUILDING THAT WAS BUILT IN 1983 THERE IN THE CENTER.

AND SO, UM, WE BROUGHT THAT OPPORTUNITY TO THIS, TO THE TOWN.

AND, UH, AS TED MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, IT'S A COMPLICATED SITE TO, UH, GET UNDER CONTROL AND GET TO THIS STAGE.

UM, YOU HAVE, UH, AN OWNER THAT OBVIOUSLY HAS THEIR OWN RESTAURANT CHAIN AND GROUP OF RESTAURANTS, I THINK AT ONE TIME HAD PLANS FOR THE SITE HERE, BUT DECIDED, UM, FOR REASONS THAT PREDATED ME THAT THIS WASN'T GONNA WORK FOR THEM.

UM, AND THEN YOU HAVE AN OWNER OPERATOR, AN INDIVIDUAL OWNS THAT, UM, OFFICE BUILDING WHO OPERATES A CALL CENTER FOR, UM, A LAW PRACTICE.

AND SO, UM, WHEN WE BROUGHT THE PAPA'S OPPORTUNITY TO THE TOWN, UM, WHICH I WOULD SAY IS JUST WITHOUT THE OFFICE BUILDING IT, IT FELT, UM, THE FEEDBACK WE GOT WAS IT WASN'T AN EXCEPTIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

IT WASN'T AS COHESIVE AS IT OTHERWISE COULD BE.

A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT ARE POSITIVES TODAY WITH THIS PLAN, WE'RE NOT POSITIVES UNDER THAT MORE FRAGMENTED APPROACH.

SO WE SPENT A GREAT DEAL OF TIME TRYING TO CONVINCE THAT OWNER TO SELL TO US.

WE GOT IT ALL UNDER CONTRACT.

COVID HAPPENED, WE DROPPED IT, UM, BECAUSE NOTHING WAS HAPPENING IN 20, WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT BACK UNDER CONTRACT AND SPENT THE BETTER PART OF THE YEAR DEVELOPING THE PLAN THAT WAS PRESENTED THIS EVENING AND, UM, REALLY FINALIZE THAT PLAN IN A WAY THAT WE WERE COMFORTABLE AND CONFIDENT IN.

AND, AND THAT'S WHEN THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO.

AND SO WITH THAT, UM, I'LL HAND IT OFF TO KEVIN.

I'LL BE BACK IN A MINUTE OR TWO.

THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING.

KEVIN HICKMAN, TRAMELL CROW COMPANY.

UM, I WON'T SPEND A WHOLE LOT OF TIME ON THE NEXT COUPLE SLIDES.

KEN REALLY DID A GOOD JOB OF GIVING AN OVERVIEW OF THE GUIDING DOCUMENTS.

UM, BUT IF YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT, TAKE A STEP BACK AND LOOK AT THOSE GUIDING DOCUMENTS IN A NUTSHELL, IT REALLY SETS UP IF WE TO REALLY POSITION IT FOR A THOUGHTFUL DEVELOPMENT, ONE WITH AN URBAN EDGE LONG BELT LINE, AND ONE THAT REALLY PUTS PEDESTRIANS OVER VEHICLES AS A PRIORITY.

UM, AND WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT OUR SITE PLAN THAT, UM, KEN GAVE YOU AN OVERVIEW, UM, AS IT RELATES TO THE SITE PLAN.

I WANT TO, KEN DID WALK YOU THROUGH IT.

SO I'M, I'M JUST GONNA TALK BRIEFLY ABOUT, UM, A FEW THINGS THAT HE DIDN'T IDENTIFY.

UH, ONE OF THE THINGS IN THE RESTAURANT PLAZA AREA, AS WELL AS IN FRONT OF THE TOWN HOME URBAN DISTRICT LAWN, WE'VE GOT ENHANCED PAVING AREAS THAT WE REALLY PR PLAN ON PROGRAMMING AND HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO COMMUNITY EVENTS AND, AND PROGRAMS THERE, FOR INSTANCE, UH, UH, A FARMER'S MARKET OR HOLIDAY EVENTS.

UM, AND SO WE'RE GONNA, WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BALL IT OFF THOSE AREAS TO REALLY PROGRAM THAT AREA FOR, UH, COMMUNITY EVENTS.

THIS, THESE PLAZA AREAS IN THE URBAN DISTRICT PARK ARE REALLY PROGRAMMED WITH HIGH AMENITIES.

UH, THE RESTAURANT PLAZA IS GONNA HAVE, UH, SEATING WALLS,

[00:45:01]

UH, WE'VE PRESENTED THIS PROJECT TO ADDISON'S ARBOR FOUNDATION, UH, AND THEY'VE AGREED TO WORK WITH US ON PUBLIC ART INSTALLATION IN THREE DIFFERENT AREAS.

ONE IS LOCATED IN THAT RESTAURANT PLAZA AREA.

THE OTHER ONE IS AT, THAT IS AT BELTLINE AND SURVEYOR, WHICH IS WE FEEL IS A, IS A GATEWAY TO THIS TO, FOR ADDISON.

AND THE OTHER ONE IS IN, IS WITHIN THAT URBAN DISTRICT PARK.

UM, KEN ALSO NOTED THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE AN ADDITIONAL SETBACKS ALONG SURVEYOR, AND THIS WAS REALLY INTENTIONAL AT THE CORNER OF, OF BELTLINE AND SURVEYOR, WE'VE REALLY PULLED THIS BUILDING BACK TO HAVE THIS NICE EDGE, UH, TO PULL AWAY FROM THAT HEAVILY TRAFFICKED INTERSECTION, UH, TO, TO PROVIDE THAT REPRIEVE AND REALLY ENHANCE THAT PEDESTRIAN, UH, ENVIRONMENT BY INCORPORATING A 10 FOOT TRAIL IN THIS AREA.

UM, AS KEN MENTIONED, WE ALSO PULLED THE REST OF THE BUILDING BACK, UH, ALONG SURVEYOR.

AND THAT'S REALLY TO TRY TO PRESERVE THOSE TREES, UH, ENHANCE LANDSCAPING.

AGAIN, WE'RE TRYING TO PRESERVE AS MANY TREES AS WE CAN ALONG ALL OF OUR EDGES.

UH, AND, AND MAINLY ON THE WESTERN, SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PART OF IT.

WE DID WORK WITH, UH, THE TOWN ON THE BELTLINE, UM, THE BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT.

AND SO WE'RE EXCITED TO COMPLY AND ENHANCE, UH, THE BEAUTIFICATION OF BELTLINE.

TAKING A LITTLE CLOSER LOOK, UH, ALONG BELTLINE, YOU'LL NOTICE, AND KEN MENTIONED THIS TWO STORY, UM, COMPONENT WITH THE LEASING, BUT ALSO THE LIVE WORK UNITS.

UM, YOU'LL SEE THE MINI ABOVE THE LEASING SPACE.

WE ALSO HAVE AN, AN ADDITIONAL, UH, BIRD'S NEST.

THERE ARE MANY SPACE UP ABOVE ON THAT FIFTH LEVEL.

UM, BUT REALLY THIS URBAN EDGE ALONG BELTLINE, I THINK WAS, WAS ENVISIONED BY THE BELTLINE DISTRICT REGULATIONS.
