Jan 20, 2026 Planning &amp; Zoning Commission Work Session

THE NEXT ITEM IS AN OVERVIEW OF ITEMS ON THE AGENDA THIS EVENING.

CORRECT.

UM, YEAH, SO ONCE AGAIN, I'LL SEND OUT SOME DATES WITH, WITH THAT, UM, IF ANYONE'S INTERESTED, FEEL FREE TO RESPOND.

[2. Discussion regarding items on the agenda for the January 20, 2026 Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting: December 16, 2025 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes. Replat for the Addison Airport Industrial District, Block A, Lot 14R, for an office/hangar development on 1.57± acres located at northeast corner of the Wright Brothers Drive and Wiley Post Road intersection, addressed as 15500 Wright Brothers Drive (Case R2025-05/Addison Airport Industrial District).

UM, I'LL GO THROUGH EACH OF THOSE, UM, FAIRLY QUICKLY SINCE WE HAVE A COUPLE OF OTHER ITEMS ON THE WORK SESSION TO GET THROUGH.

UH, THE FIRST ITEM IS THE DECEMBER 16TH MINUTES.

ANY COMMENTS OR UPDATES ON THOSE? NOT FROM ME.

THE NEXT IS, DO I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU? YEAH, WELL, JUST A POINT OF CLARIFICATION.

SO I NOTICED IN THE ONE, AND I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DID IT, I'M JUST MAKING SURE THIS IS MY CORRECT INTERPRETATION.

YOU BRACKET AROUND LIKE ORIGINAL MOTION ON, IS THAT JUST 'CAUSE THERE WAS A DIFFERENT MOTION PUT IN, WHEREAS YOU DON'T NORMALLY, LIKE ON ONE OF THE OTHER ONES, JIMMY MADE A MOTION, WHICH WAS NOT NECESSARILY YOUR RECOMMENDATION, BUT YOU DIDN'T LABEL IT AS ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR THE MOTION.

YEAH, IT WAS THE, I BELIEVE IT WAS, I'M WE'RE CALLING OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

IT WAS THE FIRST MOTION MADE BY TOM THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL MOTION AND THEN THE AMENDED MOTION AND THEN THE, THE .

THAT'S WHY, THE ONLY REASON WHY YOU CHANGED THE LABELING.

AND YOU DIDN'T CONSISTENTLY CALL IT ORIGINAL THROUGHOUT, CORRECT.

YEAH, BECAUSE IT WAS ACTUALLY TWO DIFFERENT MOTIONS.

JUST MAKING SURE.

YEP.

AND THE NEXT ITEM IS THE RELA, UM, AT THE ADDISON AIRPORT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT.

THIS IS FOR THE NEW OFFICE HANGAR LOCATED AT THE, UM, CORNER OF WRIGHT BROTHERS DRIVE IN WILEY POST ROAD.

UM, THIS IS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

THE COMMISSION APPROVED THE SITE PLAN FOR THIS EARLIER LAST YEAR OR IN THE FALL, UM, 2025.

AND JUST, UM, SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

THIS IS TO ESTABLISH SOME UTILITY EASEMENTS.

THE BOUNDARY OF THE PROPERTY IS NOT BEING MODIFIED AND THERE'S NO RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION OR ANYTHING

[00:05:01]

LIKE THAT.

UM, IT'S SIMPLY TO ESTABLISH NEW EASEMENTS, UH, FOR A FIRE LANE ACCESS UTILITY FOR THE SITE, THE DEVELOPMENT.

ALL RIGHT.

UM, THE NEXT ITEM IS THE ELECTION OF THE CHAIR AND THE VICE CHAIR FOR THE COMMISSION FOR, UM, THE CALENDAR YEAR 2026.

SO EVERY YEAR, UM, BECAUSE THE P AND C COMMISSIONERS ARE ON AN ANNUAL, UM, CALENDAR YEAR CYCLE, UH, WE REAPPOINT, UM, VICE CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR ANNUALLY DURING THE MONTH OF JANUARY.

UM, SO IF YOU ALL WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS OR SAVE THAT DISCUSSION FOR THE REGULAR MEETING, UM, I'LL LEAVE THAT TO YOU ALL.

LET'S DISCUSS.

UM, IN GENERAL, WE'VE KINDA ALWAYS JUST DONE IT RELATIVELY CASUALLY, WHICH NORMALLY WE'RE NOT IN THIS ROOM, SO IT FEELS VERY AWKWARD.

NORMALLY WE'RE IN A NICE ROUND TABLE TO TALK TOGETHER, SO I FEEL LIKE I'M, UM, KIND OF JUST THROW OUT IF ANYBODY HAS INTEREST, YOU KNOW, SPEAK UP KIND OF, AND THEN WE'LL GO TO LIKE A MOTION IT, I GUESS KIND OF COME TO SOME AGREEMENT ON THIS, THIS WORK SESSION AND THEN DO THE FORMALITY IN THE REGULAR SESSION.

SO I, I WOULD FIND IT A PRIVILEGE TO CONTINUE AS CHAIR.

I'LL JUST SAY THAT I'VE DONE IT FOR WHATEVER, THIS IS MY LAST YEAR, ACTUALLY TERM OUT AFTER THIS YEAR.

UM, BUT OPEN UP TO ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO THROW THEIR HAT IN THE RING.

I'M GRATEFUL TO HEAR.

SO I'D LIKE TO ENCOURAGE OR NOMINATE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE.

CAN I DO THAT HERE AT THIS WORKING OR DO I DO THAT IN THE REGULAR SESSION? W IT'S NOT FORMAL NOMINATION.

WE'RE JUST HAVING DISCUSSION, SO THROW OUT.

SO, SO, UM, JIMMY, I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU AS, AS CHAIR, CHELSEA, I THINK WE KIND OF PASSED ON YOUR LAST TIME FOR VICE CHAIR.

IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, I'D ENCOURAGE YOU TO PUT YOUR NAME IN FOR, FOR THOSE POSITIONS.

I HAVE A FEW COMMENTS, UM, SINCE IT IS YOUR LAST TERM, I, I, I THINK I WOULD SUPPORT YOU BEING THE CHAIR, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE CHELSEA AS THE VICE CHAIR.

I'D LIKE TO THROW MY HAT IN THE RING AS VICE CHAIR.

YEAH, NO, I'M COOL WITH DENISE'S CHAIR.

UM, AND OVERALL, I LIKE BOTH CHELSEA AND ED .

UH, I GUESS I'LL CALL THAT AT GAME TIME, BUT WOULD SUPPORT BOTH OF THOSE.

AGREE, AGREE.

AND CHELSEA, I GUESS IF YOU WANNA KINDA WEIGH IN IF YOU HAVE AN INTEREST OR NOT, OR WHAT.

I KNOW IF I RECALL LAST YEAR YOU DID NOT, BUT THAT MIGHT'VE BEEN 'CAUSE YOU WERE STILL RELATIVELY NEW ON IT, SO, BUT MY MEMORY COULD BE WRONG, SO CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.

YEAH, NO, DEFINITELY INTERESTED IN VICE CHAIR.

UM, AND I DO, UH, DENISE, UH, THINK THAT YOU SHOULD PROBABLY STAY AS CHAIR SINCE IT IS YOUR LAST YEAR.

I COULD LEARN A LOT FROM YOU.

IT'S ONE OF THOSE TIMES THAT YOU HATE TO SAY THAT YOU'RE THE MOST SEASONED AT THE TABLE TOO, UNFORTUNATELY.

BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS, RIGHT? IT'S NOT MM-HMM .

UM, OKAY.

SO I THINK WE HAVE SOME GENERAL DIRECTION OF WHERE WE'RE GOING.

SOMEBODY THROW OUT NOMINATIONS AT WHEN TIME APPROPRIATE.

UM, LESLIE, YES.

I'LL WAIT TILL WE, OH, I'LL WAIT TILL WE GET, GO AHEAD.

FOR SAKE OF MOTION TRACKING, SHOULD WE NOMINATE THEM SEPARATELY OR COULD SOMEBODY MAKE A MOTION AND NOMINATE BOTH IN ONE? IF, DO 'EM SEPARATELY.

I'D TWO SEPARATELY.

SEPARATELY.

YOU DO THE CHAIR FIRST.

THERE'LL BE A NOMINATION FOR EACH POSITION.

THERE NEEDS TO BE A SECOND TO THAT NOMINATION.

AND THEN IF THERE WAS IN FACT A SECOND YOU COULD HAVE DISCUSSION, UM, AND THEN CALL A VOTE ON THAT PARTICULAR, UM, POSITION.

AND UNTIL THEN I STILL RUN RIGHT.

THAT MEETING LIKE A NORMAL PROCEDURE AND IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AT THAT POINT, WE'LL CHANGE AT THAT POINT AND SWITCH HATS AT AFTER THAT.

OR, UM, IN THE PAST WE HAVE ALLOWED THE, THE SITTING CHAIR WHO STARTED THE MEETING TO FINISH OUT THE MEETING FOR THE SAKE OF CONTINUITY AND NOT THROW THEM, WHOEVER THAT INDIVIDUAL IS, IF THEY'RE NEW INTO THE DEEP END.

BUT I'LL LEAVE THAT UP TO THE COMMISSION HOW THEY WISH TO, UM, PROCEED.

THEIR, EXCUSE ME, THE PERSPECTIVE OWNER, 'CAUSE THEY ARE CURRENTLY SEEKING ENTITLEMENTS TO CLOSE ON THE PROPERTY, WOULD ALSO WOULD BUILD AND OCCUPY THE SPACE AS THEIR OFFICE.

UM, AND THEN THE NEXT ITEM IS A REZONING FOR A, A SMALL LOT.

UH, IT'S ACTUALLY, IT'S LOCATED AT BELTLINE AND COMMERCIAL DRIVE THAT'S IMMEDIATELY EAST OF FROST BANK KIND OF SANDWICH BETWEEN FROST BANK AND IHOP AND ASBURY CIRCLE.

UM, IT IS A SMALL, UM, THREE, UM, QUARTER ACRE LOT THAT'S KIND OF A REMNANT OF THE ASBURY CIRCLE DEVELOPMENT.

THEY ARE PROPOSING A STRAIGHT REZONE FROM THE M TWO DISTRICT OR MIXED USE SUBURBAN DISTRICT TO COMMERCIAL LIMITED.

UM, THIS IS A STRAIGHT REZONE INTO OUR BASE DISTRICT.

THE INTENT FROM THE APPLICANT IS TO USE THAT BASE DISTRICT TO DEVELOP A SMALL OFFICE RETAIL SITE.

UM, THEY HAVE VERY PRELIMINARY PLANS ON WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

UM, JUST FOR THIS INFORMATION OF THE COMMISSION, THEY'RE LOOKING AT, UM, ABOUT A 3000 SQUARE FOOT, UM, FLOOR PLATE WITH MAYBE ONE TO TWO STORIES.

MAYBE, UH, ONE STORY WITH A MEZZANINE.

UM, THE INTENT, THE OWNER,

[00:10:01]

SO YEAH.

LESLIE, ARE THEY GOING TO MAINTAIN THE CROSS EASEMENTS THAT ARE ON THE PROPERTY? THEY WOULD BE REQUIRED TO AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY PROPOSING THAT? YES.

THE ONLY WAY THAT THEY COULD, UH, RELIEVE THEMSELVES OF THAT IS TO GET, UH, APPROVAL FROM THE FROST BANK AND THE SALAD AND GO PROPERTIES AND TO THE WEST.

UM, FOR WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING THAT, THAT LOOKS LIKE A HUGE CHALLENGE TO GET THE 3000 SQUARE FEET OF ANYTHING ON THAT SPACE.

IT WILL BE VERY CHALLENGING.

YES, IT'S A VERY, VERY SMALL LOT.

UM, I WOULDN'T SAY IT'S UNDEVELOPABLE, UM, BUT IT IS GOING TO BE VERY TIGHT AND, AND CHALLENGING AND THEY HAVEN'T COME AND ASKED FOR ANY OTHER, UM, UM, EXCEPTIONS OR ANYTHING OF THAT STUFF.

UM, THEY HAVE EXPLORED SOME, WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF PRELIMINARY CONVERSATIONS IN A PRE-APPLICATION MEETING, UM, EXPLORING WHAT SOME OF THEIR CHALLENGES WERE AND THAT'S ULTIMATELY WHAT BROUGHT THEM BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING.

UM, WAS, AND ONE OF THOSE WAS THE, AND IT WAS IN THE STAFF REPORT, THE HEIGHT OF THE M TWO DISTRICT.

UM, MOST OF THE OTHER DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS THEY'LL BE, BE ABLE TO COMPLY WITH.

DO YOU WANNA GIVE THEM A LITTLE BRIEF OF OUR CONVERSATION TODAY ABOUT THE HISTORY REAL QUICK? SURE.

ONE, IT'S RESIDENTIAL ADJACENCY.

OR, OR DO YOU WANNA WAIT? IS IT IN THE STAFF REPORT? YOU WANNA WAIT TILL THEN? I JUST, UM, I DON'T THINK IT'S, IT'S NOT REALLY OUTLINED IN THE STAFF REPORT, BUT YEAH, I'D BE HAPPY TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF COLOR TO THAT.

SO THIS SITE, UM, HAD BEEN UNDER, UM, PREVIOUS OWN, WELL I, IT OTHER PREVIOUS OWNERSHIP OR THE CURRENT OWNERSHIP.

ONCE AGAIN, THE, UM, INDIVIDUAL APPLYING THIS EVENING IS UNDER CONTRACT TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY.

AND PREVIOUS ITERATIONS OF, UH, A DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL INCLUDED A, LIKE A SMALL DRIVE THROUGH RESTAURANT, UM, OR FAST FOOD RESTAURANT.

UM, THAT HAS BEEN CHALLENGED FOR MANY REASONS.

TWO, TO YOUR POINT, THERE IS VERY LITTLE OPPORTUNITY FOR STACKING AND JUST CIRCULATION OUTSIDE OF THE FIRE LANES.

UM, AND IT JUST HASN'T, THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO MEET THE MINIMUM STANDARDS REALISTICALLY.

UM, FROST BANK WHEN THEY DEVELOPED, SHOULD HAVE ABSORBED THAT SITE.

UM, HOWEVER, AT THAT TIME THAT PROPERTY OWNER WAS NOT INTERESTED IN, IN GIVING OVER THE PROPERTY.

SO, UH, WE'RE, IT'S SOMEWHAT STUCK WITH A REMNANT.

UM, BUT AT THIS TIME THE, THE APPLICANT FEELS THAT THEY CAN DEVELOP SOMETHING ON THAT SITE.

I HAVE A QUESTION, UH, ACTUALLY TOO SURE.

THEY'RE UNDER CONTRACT SO THEY DON'T ACTUALLY OWN THE LAND.

THAT IS CORRECT.

SO LIKE, AND THIS MAY BE MY NAIVETE, BUT HOW CAN THEY COME TO REZONE SOMETHING? WHAT ABOUT THE ORIGINAL OWNER? HAVE THEY SIGNED OFF ON THIS? IS THERE, YES.

SO WE REQUIRE PROPERTY OWNER AUTHORIZATION, UH, FOR ALL OF OUR APPLICATIONS REGARDLESS OF ZONING OR OTHERWISE.

UM, AND THAT, UM, ENSURES THAT THEY AGREE TO PROCEED WITH THE, UM, REZONING REQUEST.

AND THAT'S A FORM THAT, UM, OUR LEGAL TEAM HAS DRAFTED FOR US.

THANKS.

MY SECOND QUESTION IS, UM, WHY NOT GO FOR A VARIANCE AS OPPOSED TO REZONING? BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO ME THAT HAVING THIS REZONING ACTUALLY PUTS SOME, YOU KNOW, WORSE SPACE.

THEIR SETBACKS GET MORE, UH, ONEROUS, DON'T THEY? UM, NOT NECESSARILY.

SO IN THE, IN THE M TWO DISTRICT, THE SETBACKS ARE ACTUALLY, UM, SO YOU, YOU ARE CORRECT, THEIR SETBACKS ARE ACTUALLY SMALLER.

UM, AND THE COMMERCIAL LIMITED HAS GREATER SETBACKS.

BUT, UH, IF YOU LOOK AT THE SITE, IT, THERE IS, UM, EASEMENTS THAT ARE ENCUMBERED IN THAT AREA ANYWAYS.

SO REGARDLESS OF THESE ZONING SETBACKS, THEY WOULD, THAT AREA WOULD BE UNDEVELOPABLE BECAUSE THEY'RE CURRENTLY PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE UNDER THOSE AREAS.

UM, SO IT'S, I WOULDN'T SAY IT'S ANY MORE RESTRICTIVE FROM WHAT THEY'RE ALLOWED TO DO CURRENTLY.

UM, AND REGARDING THE VARIANCE PROCESS, THE CRITERIA FOR A VARIANCE IS MUCH MORE CUMBERSOME 'CAUSE THEY HAVE TO PRO, UH, PROVE A HARDSHIP AND THE HARDSHIP CANNOT BE FINANCIAL IN THIS SCENARIO.

AREN'T WE GETTING BETTER OFF FROM A LANDSCAPING PERSPECTIVE AND A COUPLE OTHER THINGS IN THE END THAT YOU WOULDN'T, A VARIANCE WOULDN'T FORCE UNLESS YOU MADE IT A RESTRICTION OF THE VARIANCE? CORRECT.

PARKING WON'T BE THE FIRST TIME I MENTIONED THAT TONIGHT AND HOPEFULLY NOBODY AT HOME'S TAKEN SHOTS.

THE MI THE M TWO DISTRICT IS INTENDED TO BE MIXED USE URBAN OR URBAN ADJACENT.

UM, SOMETHING THAT WOULD, LIKE ASBURY CIRCLE WOULD IS THE M TWO IS BASED UPON THE ASBURY CIRCLE ZONING.

UM, AND SO FOR EXAMPLE, THE M TWO REQUIRES 10% OPEN SPACE LANDSCAPED AREA.

THE COMMERCIAL LIMITED REQUIRES 20%.

SO IN SOME WAYS IT COULD, IT'S MORE CUMBERSOME, BUT IT'S MORE TAILORED TO A PROPERTY THAT WOULD FRONT ON BELTLINE ROAD.

I'VE GOT A QUICK QUESTION, LESLIE.

SO, UM,

[00:15:01]

UM, BUT DO THEY HAVE TO PUT PARKING ON THAT LOT TOO? MM-HMM .

IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY THEY COULD ENTER A SHARED PARKING AGREEMENT? UH, NOW I KNOW THAT WOULD MEAN CONTRACTING WITH THE BUSINESSES OR WHATEVER, BUT IS THERE ANY TOWN PROHIBITION AGAINST THAT TO SAY NO? SO THERE IS A PROCESS WHICH SOMEONE COULD REQUEST SHARED PARKING.

IT WOULD HAVE TO BE THROUGH A FORMAL AGREEMENT, SUCH AS, AND IT MUST BE RECORDED.

SO THAT MAY LOOK LIKE AN EASEMENT OR SOMETHING.

OH, SORRY.

I THINK I JUST PUT A PUT BUTTON, UM, A FORMAL PARKING EASEMENT OR SOMETHING SIMILAR TO ENSURE THAT, UM, FOR EXAMPLE, UH, FOR SAKE OF SIMPLICITY, I'LL USE FROST BANK.

UM, FROST BANK WOULD NEED TO HAVE EXCESS PARKING RIGHT AVAILABLE FOR THEM AND THEY WOULD NEED TO BE COMFORTABLE WITH APPLYING AN EASEMENT THAT ESSENTIALLY SAYS WE WILL NEVER GET RID OF THIS PARKING SO LONG AS IT'S NEEDED OR REQUIRED.

UM, AND SOME BUSINESSES ARE WILLING TO DO THAT AND SOME AREN'T.

UH, IT REALLY JUST DEPENDS.

THAT'S THE MARKET.

THAT'S NOT MY JOB TO TELL THEM HOW THAT WORKS.

BUT THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME.

I HAVE A QUESTION.

UM, CAN WE HAVE A REVIEW QUICKLY OF WHAT CONSTITUTES SPOT ZONING? THIS SEEMS TO ME A VERY SMALL PROPERTY IN A VERY LARGE OTHERWISE DISTRICT, AND I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT CRITERIA FOR THAT.

UM, SO AT A HIGH LEVEL, I CANNOT RECITE THIS STATE LAW, BUT AT A HIGH LEVEL IT IS A ZONING THAT IS INCONSISTENT BOTH IN CHARACTER AND, UH, NATURE OF DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE SURROUNDING AREA.

UM, AND THAT COULD BE CONSTRUED AS BOTH INCONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT BUT INCONSISTENT WITH THE ZONING PATTERN.

UM, THE AREAS SURROUNDING THIS ARE ACTUALLY ZONED NOT, UM, NOT ASBURY CIRCLE, BUT SOME OF THE PROPERTIES AROUND THIS, UH, ARE ACTUALLY, AND I THINK I HAVE IT ON HERE, ARE ACTUALLY ZONED UNDER THE SAME ZONING DISTRICT.

OKAY, THANKS.

SORRY.

YEAH, SO THIS WHAT YOU SEE AND LIKE FROST BANK AND UM, THOSE AREAS, THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A, A LOCAL RETAIL BASE DISTRICT, WHICH THE CONVERSION TO THE NEW UDC IS COMMERCIAL LIMITED.

THAT'S CONFUSING.

THANK YOU.

THAT'S WHAT WAS CONFUSING.

I JUST THOUGHT OF ONE, UM, BASED OFF OF WHAT YOU AND DENISE TALKED ABOUT, DOES COMMERCIAL LIMITED ALLOW THEM TO PIVOT TO A DRIVE THROUGH? UM, NO.

'CAUSE THEY HAVE TO, SO DRIVE THROUGH WOULD REQUIRE A SPECIAL USE PERMIT.

PLAN AS IT RESTRICTED RESIDENTIAL.

DUE TO, UM, SEPARATION REQUIREMENTS FROM RESIDENTIAL USES, WHICH ASBURY CIRCLE IS TOO CLOSE IN THIS INSTANCE.

OKAY, COOL.

I DON'T REMEMBER OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT I THINK IT'S 500 FEET.

I'D HAVE TO CONFIRM ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? ALRIGHT.

UM, THE NEXT ITEM IS THE ZONING FOR ADDISON CIRCLE, OR EXCUSE ME, ADDISON JUNCTION.

UM, THIS IS THE, UH, TOD ENTITLEMENT REQUEST, UM, WHICH IS REZONING ALL OF THE EXISTING ZONING, UM, AND VARIOUS PLAN DEVELOPMENTS, WHICH IS PLENTIFUL, UM, AND REZONING IT UNDER ONE PD.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO NOTE THIS ALSO INCLUDES A REZONING OF THE, UM, A SMALL PORTION OF THE EASTERN, UM, SIDE OF THE DART LOT, WHICH IS AT THE, UH, NORTHWEST CORNER OF ARAPAHOE AND QUORUM DRIVE.

AND THAT'S FOR THE HANGAR DEVELOPMENT.

UM, IT DOES NOT, SO IF YOU LOOK, UM, AT THE HANGAR, WHICH IS ITEM SIX ON THIS SCREEN, I JUST WANNA POINT OUT THAT THERE IS A LOT OF PARKING ON THE DART LOT IMMEDIATELY TO THE WEST OF THE HANGAR.

AND THAT IS, WILL REMAIN UNDER LIKE DART CONTROL.

THERE WILL BE A SMALL AREA IMMEDIATELY OUTSIDE OF THAT BUILDING, UM, THAT WILL HAVE SOME SURFACE PARKING AND CIRCULATION FOR THE HANGAR.

UM, BUT DART HAS ACTUALLY ASKED THAT ALL OF THAT PARKING REMAIN FOR THE TRANSIT CENTER.

SO IT, IN THIS, IT MAY BE A LITTLE DECEIVING IN THIS PARTICULAR RENDERING 'CAUSE THERE'S ALL THAT PARKING, UM, BUT THAT IS UNDER DARK CONTROL AND NOT UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE TOWN OR THE DEVELOPER.

QIP.

UM, THE, UM, QIP WILL BE PRESENT TONIGHT.

WE ALSO HAVE SEVERAL OTHER MEMBERS OF THIS STAFF TEAM, INCLUDING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ENGINEERING, IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS.

UM, BUT JUST A HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW, UM, FROM WHEN IT WAS LAST BEFORE PNZ.

SO AS I MENTIONED, THERE WERE SEVERAL ITERATIONS OF ZONING UNDER A PLAN DEVELOPMENT, UH, WITH A CO-DEVELOPER TEAM AM RESIDENTIAL AND QIP.

UM, BACK IN APRIL OF 2024, THERE WERE SOME RESTRICTIVE USE COVENANTS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED, UM, BY THE BY AM LEE'S, UH, TITLE COMPANY.

UM, STAFF WAS UNAWARE OF THOSE RESTRICTED USE COVENANTS.

UM, THAT DID IMPACT THE APPROVED

[00:20:01]

UM, UIP REMAINED WITH THE PROJECT AND ENTERED INTO AN MOU WITH THE TOWN IN APRIL 22ND, 2025, UM, TO ALLOW AN EX EXCLUSIVITY AGREEMENT TO ALLOW THEM TO CONTINUE TO TRY TO STAY ON BOARD AND DEVELOP A MASTER PLAN FOR THE PROJECT, WHICH ULTIMATELY CULMINATED IN A MASTER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, UH, WITH, UH, THAT COUNCIL APPROVED ON SEPTEMBER 9TH FOR ADDISON JUNCTION.

UM, WHICH IS, UH, THIS PLAN YOU SEE BEFORE YOU, THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPONENTS INCLUDING, UH, HOTEL, TWO PARKING GARAGES, A MASS TIMBER OFFICE STRUCTURE, UH, ENTERTAINMENT AND SEVERAL RETAIL, UM, RESTAURANT SPACES.

UM, ANY QUE I THERE'S A LOT TO UNPACK ON THIS.

I DON'T WANNA SPEND TOO MUCH TIME GOING THROUGH, BUT I, IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE HAPPY TO, I I MISSED THE, UM, MISSED THE PIECE WHERE ALL OF THE WEST PARKING IS DARK AND TO REMAIN DARK, UH, IN MY REVIEW.

WHERE'S THE PARKING FOR THE HANGAR? WHERE ARE THEY SUGGESTING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE PARKING? SO, UM, AND I'LL GET A, I'LL GET A SLIDE FOR THE REGULAR MEETING AND CALL THIS OUT, UM, IN MORE DETAIL.

UM, THERE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT OF PARKING IMMEDIATELY TO THE WEST OF THE HI THE HANGAR.

UM, ESSENTIALLY WHERE YOU SEE THAT ACCESS DRIVE ON THIS PARTICULAR RENDERING, UM, THAT'S KIND OF THE DEMARCATION RIGHT NOW BETWEEN THE HANGAR AND THE DART PARKING LOT FOR THE TRANSIT, UM, AND THE BUS TERMINAL.

SO THERE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT OF SURFACE SURFACE PARKING THERE, AND THEN THE INTENT IS TO USE BOTH OTHER PARKING ELSEWHERE, STREET PARKING AND PARKING WITHIN THE TWO, UH, GARAGES.

INTERESTING.

MY QUESTION WAS, IN REFERENCE TO THIS BEER GARDEN, HOW IS THE TOWN'S, WE HAVE EVENTS AT ADDISON CIRCLE, OCTOBER FEST, WHATEVER, HOW IS THAT STAGED TO WHERE YOU'RE NOT JUST FORCING LIKE SOME BIG COMPETITOR AND THEY'RE NOT JUST GONNA BE ABLE TO GO BETWEEN, THERE'S FULLY FENCED OFF WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE AN ADDISON EVENT TO GO TO THE RIGHT DURING I'M TALKING ABOUT SPECIFIC TOWN EVENTS.

UM, POTENTIALLY NOT.

UH, WE HAVE BEEN THE TOWN STAFF.

I MEAN, I ALSO WANNA POINT OUT THAT THIS IS IN A PRELIMINARY CONCEPTUAL PHASE, SO THERE'S STILL A LONG WAY TO GO, UM, IN THIS PROJECT.

UM, BUT WE HAVE ENGAGED WITH THE SPECIAL EVENTS TEAM ABOUT WHAT THIS COULD LOOK LIKE BRINGING, UM, YOU KNOW, SPECIALTY VENDORS.

IT WOULD, UH, FUNCTION SIMILAR TO HOW WE USE JAVA AND HOPS AS AN I AS A CONCEPT.

UM, THEY ARE A VENDOR ON THE SITE.

THEY CAN CONTINUE TO OPERATE, UM, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE EVENT.

UM, MAYBE IN A MORE SIGNIFICANT CAPACITY.

IT'S UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME UNTIL WE FIND A FINAL TENANT.

UM, BUT THE, THE INTENT WOULD BE TO ORIENT THIS DEVELOPMENT TOWARDS THE PARK AND ENGAGE THE PARK, WHICH WOULD BE ENGAGING OUR SPECIAL EVENTS BECAUSE, UM, WE ALSO WANNA CAPITALIZE ON JUST CONNECTIVITY IN GENERAL.

I GET THAT.

BUT, BUT THERE'S, YOU DON'T WANNA HURT THE TOWN'S POSITION EITHER.

I MEAN, TO HAVE SOMETHING COMPETING.

THAT'S WHY I'M GETTING AT, IS THERE THERE GONNA BE PHYSICAL BARRIERS TO WHERE THAT WOULD BE CUT OFF OR AN AGREEMENT TO CAN'T DO EVENTS ON THAT WEEKEND OF OCTOBER? YOU GET WHAT I'M SAYING? I'M, I JUST, TO ME, THOSE ARE VERY COMPETING THINGS AND VERY LIMITED TO, WE ONLY HAVE A HANDFUL OF EVENTS OVER THERE.

I GET THAT.

BUT THAT'S WHY I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT LOGISTICALLY MM-HMM .

IF, IF THERE'S BARRIERS THAT ARE GONNA, YOU KNOW, MAKE SOMEONE CONSCIOUSLY CHOOSE TO LEAVE THE EVENT AFTER THEY'VE PAID TO BE THERE.

YEAH, I, I CAN'T SPEAK IN GREAT DETAIL TO THAT.

WE'RE JUST NOT TO THAT STAGE.

UM, JUST AT FACE VALUE, I THINK ABOUT HOW WE OPERATE FOR KABOOM TOWN.

UM, MY DEPARTMENT ALSO DOES TEMPORARY SPECIAL EVENTS AND SO, UM, THIS PAST YEAR WAS A LITTLE LIGHT, BUT ON AVERAGE WE HAVE AROUND 15 SPECIAL EVENTS THAT OCCUR ON THE DAY OF KABOOM TOWN, UM, THAT CELEBRATE KABOOM TOWN OUT OUTSIDE OF ADDISON CIRCLE PARK.

I UNDERSTAND THAT'S VERY SPECIFIC, BUT WE HAVE SEVERAL, UM, BUSINESSES THAT, YOU KNOW, BRING IN SPECIALTY FOOD VENDORS OR, UM, BOUNCE HOUSES OR OTHER ACTIVITIES AND SET UP IN THEIR PARKING LOTS OR ELSEWHERE, UM, TO FACILITATE THESE ADULT EVENTS.

AND THEY ARE NOT, UM, IN ANY WAY SPONSORED OR FACILITATED BY THE TOWN.

UM, BUT ULTIMATELY THAT IS TAX REVENUE FOR THE TOWN.

I, I'M JUST GETTING AT, AS SOMEBODY THOUGHT THROUGH ALL OF THIS WITH THAT BEING THERE IN LOGISTICS OF THE EVENTS THAT WE DO THERE AND EVENTS TEAM KISSED OFF ON IT, BLESSED OFF ON IT, WHATEVER YOU WANNA SAY.

AND YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THIS NOT HAVING COMPETING PROBLEMS WITH EVENTS WITHIN THE TOWN.

SO REGARDING THE DART PROPERTY NOW, IN THE EVENT OF A PULLOUT ELECTION IS CALLED AND IS SUCCESSFUL AND ADDISON LEAVES DART, MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGISLATION IS THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO RETAIN CONTROL OF THEIR PROPERTY REGARDING, SO THE, THE REST OF THE TRANSIT CENTER MAY BE THEIRS FOR X AMOUNT OF YEARS.

[00:25:01]

UM, WHAT ABOUT THE PART THAT WE'RE DEVELOPING ON? HOW HAVE WE SECURED THAT LAND? SO THAT IS A PRIVATE AGREEMENT BETWEEN QIP AND UM, DART.

AND IT WOULD BE, IT WOULD BE A, A LAND LEASE.

UM, I, I BELIEVE LIKE A 99 YEAR LAND LEASE.

AND THEN MOVING ON TO ITEM FOUR.

SO THEY'VE GOT AN AGREEMENT, THEY COMMENT, IT'S PRIVATE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I'LL BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF ANYBODY, BUT I AM CURIOUS ABOUT HOW THAT DYNAMIC CHANGES IN A DART LIST TOD, WHICH I CAN GET INTO IN THE, IN THE REGULAR SESSION.

I MEAN, THE REALITY IS DEPENDING ON WHERE THEY'RE, IF THEY'VE ALREADY SIGNED THAT AGREEMENT, IT'S DONE.

THEY DON'T, THEY CAN'T BACK OUT OF A LEASE THAT THEY'VE ALREADY EXECUTED.

SO IT'S ALL, IT'S ALL ABOUT TIMING OF WHERE THIS IS GONNA HAPPEN.

AND QIP BETTER BE CROSSING THEIR FINGERS THAT IT GETS DONE BEFORE ALL THESE GROUPS POTENTIALLY PULL OUT.

WHY HOWDY, I'LL LET, UM, I DON'T WANNA SHARE ANY MISINFORMATION.

I WILL LET QIP SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS THE DARK LEASE AND AGREEMENT.

UM, AS I MENTIONED, THE TOWN IS NOT PARTY TO THAT AGREEMENT.

WE ARE HELPING AS FACILITATORS, UH, AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL.

WE WILL, UH, COMPLETE THE FULL PRESENTATION OF THAT ITEM, UM, DURING THE REGULAR MEETING.

[3. Present and discuss the 2026 Planning and Zoning Commission Calendar.]

CAN YOU PULL UP THE CALENDAR PLEASE? UM, SO WE PRESENTED THE 2026 CALENDAR, UM, THAT WAS SHARED WITH YOU ALL.

UM, I WILL NOTE, UM, OUR, THE CHARTER SAYS THAT P AND Z WILL MEET THE THIRD THURSDAY OF EVERY MONTH.

UM, AND WE WERE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THAT, UH, FOR THE, FOR 2026, THERE ARE NO DATES THAT ARE INTERRUPTED DUE TO HOLIDAYS OR UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES.

UM, SO YOU'LL SEE THAT CURRENTLY ON THE CALENDAR IS, UM, WHICH HOPEFULLY IT'S IN YOUR ONEDRIVE.

HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET IT PULLED UP IN A MOMENT.

UM, YOUR CALENDAR CURRENTLY PROPOSES PNC TO ME EVERY THIRD THURSDAY OF THE MONTH.

TUESDAY, THANK YOU.

YES, TUESDAY.

I KNOW YOU KNEW THAT .

SO ANY, ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT PARTICULAR ITEM? ALL RIGHT.

UM, I'M GONNA MOVE ON TO ITEM FIVE, WHICH IS THE ANNUAL REPORT AND, UM, FOLLOWED BY THE WORK PLAN.

SO THE, UM, THIS IS THE PRESENTATION WHICH, UM, THE CHAIR WILL PRESENT TO COUNCIL AT A LATER DATE.

UM, IT IS IN THE, UM, CHARTER FOR THE COMMISSION THAT AN ANNUAL REPORT IS PRESENTED TO COUNCIL EVERY YEAR.

UH, HENCE THE NAME ANNUAL REPORT.

TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, UM, WHAT YOU DID THROUGH THE YEAR, UH, A FORMAL RE LIKE WRITTEN REPORT IS IN YOUR ONEDRIVE.

THIS IS ONCE AGAIN AN OVERVIEW OF THAT, UM, OF THAT REPORT.

SO JUST A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION REGARDING MEMBERSHIP CHANGES.

SO IN JANUARY WE UM, WELCOMED TWO NEW MEMBERS THAT WERE APPOINTED TYLER AND ALLEN.

UM, WE DID DO A ATTENDANCE SUMMARY.

WE DID HAVE THREE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAD PERFECT ATTENDANCE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

UM, DENISE ALLEN AND TYLER.

IF FOR SOME REASON YOU FEEL LIKE ANY OF THIS INFORMATION IS INCORRECT, PLEASE LET US KNOW.

UM, WE HAVE, UH, MORE DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING ALL OF THE, UM, DIFFERENT MEETINGS THROUGHOUT THE CALENDAR YEAR.

UM, YOU'LL NOTICE A COUPLE OF THOSE.

I THINK WE HAD ONE SPECIAL MEETING, UM, LAST YEAR.

GOT A LITTLE, UM, DEMANDING DUE TO SOME OF THE MEETINGS REGARDING THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE.

OH, IT'S SET UP SEPARATELY, I APOLOGIZE.

SO HERE'S THE SPECIAL MEETING ATTENDANCE SUMMARY.

WE HAD A MUCH MORE, UM, PERFECT ATTENDANCE THROUGHOUT THE COMMISSION AND ONCE AGAIN, THERE ARE TWO MEETING DATES FOR THAT, UH, IN JANUARY, UH, FOR THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE.

[4. Present and discuss the DRAFT 2025 Planning and Zoning Commission Annual Report.]

FROM AN ANNUAL CASE REVIEW SUMMARY, WE DID HAVE A LOT LESS ACTIVITY THAN WE HAVE IN PREVIOUS YEARS.

WE OBVIOUSLY SAW A LARGE SPIKE IN 2023.

UM, A QUITE A BIT OF THAT IS CONTRIBUTED FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE.

WHAT WE SEE IS FROM A DECREASE IN SPECIAL USE PERMITS.

AND A LOT OF THAT ACTUALLY COMES FROM THE CHA SOME OF THE CHANGES IN THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE.

SO IN PREVIOUS YEARS WE WERE PROCESSING QUITE A FEW SPECIAL USE PERMITS AND A LOT OF THEM WERE FOR, UM, VERY,

[00:30:01]

UM, MINOR IN TERMS OF IMPACT BUSINESSES LIKE, UH, COFFEE SHOPS OR WE HAD A SMOOTHIE SHOP HAVE TO COME THROUGH.

AND FROM A, UH, ZONING PERSPECTIVE, THOSE ARE NOT, UM, VERY IMPACTFUL AND A LOT OF TIMES FUNCTION AS A, UM, RETAIL BUSINESS, NOT SO MUCH A HIGH, UM, IMPACT RESTAURANT, BUT WE WERE REQUIRING THEM TO GO THROUGH THE SUP PROCESS.

NOW WITH THE UDC CHANGE, WE, IT ONLY REQUIRES BUSINESSES THAT ARE OPEN, UH, FOR LATE NIGHT HOURS, WHICH HAS PASSED 11:00 PM UM, OR WE ALSO HAVE HOOKAH.

IT ALSO REQUIRES A SPECIAL USE PERMIT AS AN EXAMPLE.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF OTHER INSTANCES SUCH AS MAYBE A DRIVE THROUGH, UH, WHICH WE DON'T GET A LOT OF REQUESTS FOR DRIVE THROUGH.

SO THAT'S WHERE WE SEE A LOT OF OUR ACTIVITY.

WHEN YOU COMPARE SOME OF OUR OTHER, UM, PROJECT TYPES RELATED TO UM, REZONING OR DEVELOPMENT PLANS OR PLOTS, WE ARE FAIRLY CONSISTENT, UH, WITH UH, THE PAST, UM, EIGHT OR SO YEARS.

DID TWO OF THESE, DID A COUPLE OF THESE OVERLAP EACH OTHER THAT AREN'T CONSISTENT WITH WHAT'S ON THE CASE COUNT? YOU MEAN ON THE FINAL MAP? NO CASE.

LIKE IF YOU GO THREE PAGES ABOVE THAT IT SAID WE HAD 20 FOR THE YEAR.

UNDER OUR CASELOAD CASE SUMMARY, IT SAYS 2025, YOU HAD 20.

YEAH, THERE'S 22 ON, THERE'S 22 ON THE PI, ON THE GRAPH WITH, ON THE DEVELOPMENT CASE HISTORY.

SO THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING DID TWO OF THOSE LIKE COME TOGETHER THAT THEY'RE NOT DEFINED AS WELL? HOLD ON.

20.

THAT'S A DIFFERENT COUNT THAN A DIFFERENT COUNT THAN IS IN OUR BOOK.

IS THAT CORRECTED? 7, 8, 9, 10.

THAT'S ONE CORRECTED.

THAT'S 21, ISN'T IT? 20? NO, THAT'S 20.

IT'S NOT IN OUR BOOK.

IN OUR BOOK IT'S 1 5, 5, 3 AND EIGHT, WHICH I DID.

THE MATH CAME UP AS 22.

SO JUNE SEVEN OR THREE AND EIGHT.

WE MIGHT, YEAH, THREE AND THE EIGHT ARE SO WHICH YOURS IS CORRECT AND OURS IS WRONG.

THAT'S ALL I WAS PICKING IS I HAD MATH DIFFERENTIAL ON.

NO, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT CHART YOU NOT TYING ON MINE.

WE DID, SO WE DID MAKE AN ERROR, BUT THEN WE RE-EXPORTED AND WE MUST HAVE NOT GOTTEN THE UPDATED, UM, UH, REPORT IN YOUR, IN YOUR PACKET.

I APOLOGIZE.

BUT YEAH, THIS WHAT IS PRESENTED ON THE PRESENTATION IS ACCURATE.

WE HAD 2020 CASES AND IT MATCHES THE PRE.

OKAY, THAT MAKES SENSE.

THEN.

UM, AND THEN THIS IS JUST A, UM, PROJECT MAP, UM, BY PROJECT TYPE YOU'LL SEE THAT, FOR EXAMPLE, UM, AM E TREE HOUSE HAD A LOT OF ACTIVITY WHICH ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTED, UM, SIX DIFFERENT CASES IF YOU CONTRIBUTE THE, UH, VARIOUS PLOTS, UM, PRELIMINARY PLATS AND THE ZONING AMENDMENTS FOR THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT.

SO, UM, A LOT OF ACTIVITY THERE.

AND THEN A COUPLE OF OTHER PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS, UH, I MENTIONED EARLIER THIS EVENING, UM, AN UPDATE ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO THAT PROJECT IS STILL MOVING FORWARD.

UM, PNZ, UH, RECOMMENDED APPROVAL ON THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT IN OCTOBER AT THE OCTOBER MEETING, 2025.

AND THEN THE ADDISON UDC OBVIOUSLY GOT ADOPTED AND IMPLEMENTED AND TOOK EFFECT SEPTEMBER 1ST.

UM, YOU CAN SEE THAT BASED UPON THE CASE HISTORY, UH, IT IS FULFILLING SOME OF THE GOALS THAT IT SET OUT TO FULFILL, WHICH WAS MAKE THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS A LITTLE BIT MORE STREAMLINED AND EASIER FOR, UM, OUR BUSINESS AND DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY.

SO WE'RE ALREADY SEEING SOME POSITIVE IMPACTS ON THAT.

UM, WE HAVE, UM, DONE A LOT OF IMPLEMENTATION.

WE CONTINUE TO REFINE IMPLEMENTATION, ESPECIALLY BASED UPON FEEDBACK.

UM, JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION, WE HAVE, UH, RELEASED SEVERAL DIFFERENT SURVEYS TO OUR DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY.

THINGS WE CAN DO BETTER, PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO IMPROVE WHERE WE CAN, UM, BASED UPON THAT FEEDBACK.

SO SOME OF THE GOALS, UM, THESE ARE JUST DRAFT GOALS IN THE REPORT, UM, COM.

THE COMMISSION TYPICALLY, UM, BRAINSTORMS A COUPLE OF, OF GOALS OR THINGS, UH, YOU WOULD LIKE TO FOCUS ON FOR THE NEXT YEAR.

UM, THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY A REQUIREMENT, UM, IT'S SOMETHING WE'VE HISTORICALLY DONE WITH THE COMMISSION, BUT THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT GOALS THAT HAVE BEEN DRAFTED BY STAFF.

YOU ARE NOT, UM, IN ANY WAY REQUIRED TO RETAIN THESE, BUT THE FIRST IS TO, UM, EXECUTE THE WORK PLAN.

AND ALSO, UH, GOAL TWO IS TO CONDUCT PERIODIC DEVELOPMENT TOURS.

WE HAVE TRIED TO DO THIS, IT'S BEEN A BIT CHALLENGING.

WE HAVE TO FIND THE RIGHT PROJECT, THE RIGHT DEVELOPER AT THE RIGHT TIME, UM, THAT WORKS.

AND SO SOME, SOME PARTICULAR, UM, DEVELOPERS AREN'T AS, UM, WILLING TO ACCEPT THE LIABILITY.

SO YEAH, I WOULD LOOK TO DO SOMETHING MAYBE T-BONE WITH THE AMLI TOURS IF YOU GUYS, SORRY, WHAT? TO MAYBE FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO T-BONE WITH THE AMLI TOUR THAT DAY TO GO SEE SOME OTHER THINGS IN TOWN.

LIKE WE, WE DIDN'T DO IT LAST YEAR AT ALL, BUT WE HAD DONE THAT ONE BUS TOUR.

WE DID A LOT.

I THINK FLIGHT CLUB WOULD BE A REALLY COOL PROJECT.

THE, THE PROBLEM IS, IS I WOULD, UM, LOVE LIKE FLIGHT,

[00:35:01]

THEY'RE JUST TOO EARLY IN THEIR DEVELOPMENT, RIGHT? IN THEIR CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW.

IT'S AN ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION ZONE.

THEY'RE NOT IN THEIR, YOU KNOW, FINAL TOUCHES, WHICH IS REALLY THE SWEET SPOT TO, THEY PUT THE BAT PLACE IN THERE.

THEY'VE PUT THE T PLACE IN THE, I MEAN, I THINK, AND I'M NOT SAYING GET A BUS, I'M SAYING EVEN IF IT'S LIKE, HEY, WE'RE TOURING EMILY NEXT, LET'S MEET OVER AND GO SEE SOME OF THESE OTHERS THAT WE'VE DEVELOPED AND AGREED UPON ALONG THE WAY.

YEAH, NO, I COMPLETELY AGREE.

IT'S JUST TRYING TO GET TWO DIFFERENT PROJECTS TO, AND IS JPI I'S DEAL WALKABLE AT THIS POINT? PROBABLY NOT.

THEY'RE UM, LOOKED AWFUL QUIET THERE TODAY, , SO I, THEY'RE TARGETING FOR EARLY SUMMER COS UM, THEY'LL BE GETTING THERE SOON.

UH, JUST DEPENDS ON PROGRESS.

UM, SO THAT'S KIND OF THE COMPLETION OF THE ANNUAL REPORT.

UM, OBVIOUSLY YOU GUYS HAVE IDENTIFIED A COUPLE OF ERRORS THAT WE NEED TO CORRECT, WHICH WE WILL AND WE WILL BRING THAT BACK FOR FORWARD TO YOU ALL AT A FUTURE MEETING TO ACTUALLY ACT ON, UM, DURING THE REGULAR MEETING.

WE WOULD WANT YOU ALL TO BLESS THAT AND IT WILL GO FORWARD TO COUNCIL.

THIS RIGHT NOW IS JUST IN DRAFT MODE AND OPEN FOR DISCUSSION.

SO BE HAPPY TO HEAR ANY FEEDBACK AT A HIGH LEVEL OR ANY FEEDBACK ON THE GOALS OR ANY OF ANYTHING ELSE.

DID YOU PULL UP THE WORK PLAN?

[5. Present and discuss the 2026 Planning and Development Work Plan.]

SURE.

PROGRAM WORK PLAN.

I JUST HAVE SOME QUESTIONS THAT MAYBE I'M HAVING A BLONDE MOMENT OR I'M CONFUSED ABOUT SOMETHING.

WHY IS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF UDC STILL CONSIDERED ONGOING? AS I MENTIONED, WE'RE STILL REFINING THINGS AS WE, IT'S BEEN, I MEAN, THERE'S NOTHING FOR US TO DO GO FORWARD.

NO.

SO THIS IS MORE OF, THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY DIRECTED AT AT YOU, BUT IF YOU GUYS FEEL THERE'S ANY IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE NEED TO MAKE REGARDING IMPLEMENTATION OR POTENTIALLY, UM, CHANGES TO THE CODE OR EV I SHOULDN'T SAY EVERY DAY.

PERIODICALLY WE'RE FINDING UPDATES THAT NEED TO BE MADE.

SO IF YOU ALL SEE IMPROVEMENTS THAT NEED TO BE MADE, WE WOULD DEFINITELY WELCOME ANY SUGGESTIONS? OH, SPEAKING OF UPDATES, HOLD ON.

OH, SORRY DENISE.

I I THINK WE SHOULD ADD SOME THEN TO THAT GOAL.

TO ME, THIS IS VERY CONFUSING BECAUSE MY MIND, THE UDC IS LIKE, WE'RE NOT HAVING SPECIAL MEETINGS ANYMORE.

IT'S BEEN APPROVED CHECK THAT'S GONE ON.

I THINK I WOULD REWORD, I DON'T KNOW THE IMPLEMENTATION IS THE RIGHT WORD.

I THINK IT, THE WORD IS MAYBE, WELL WE'RE FINE OR IMPROVE OR SUGGESTIONS OR WELL, AND WE'VE, UM, WHATEVER.

BUT TO ME THIS IS, TO ME IT'S BEEN IMPLEMENTED IS THE WAY I LOOK AT IT.

MAYBE I'M GOTCHA.

I'M THAT'S ACCURATE.

YEAH, AND WE'VE LONG OF HOW I'M LOOKING AT IT, BUT WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED SOME FEEDBACK FROM COUNCIL ABOUT IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH WE'RE ACTIVELY WORKING ON, AND ANY IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE MADE, WE'LL HAVE TO COME BACK THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS.

WHICH WOULD INCLUDE PNZ.

SO ONE OF THOSE, UM, WHICH SOME OF YOU MAY BE AWARE OF, THERE WAS FEEDBACK FROM COUNCIL, UM, REGARDING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PARKS SPECIFIC ZONING DISTRICT.

SO IT WOULD BE A, A DISTRICT OR AN OVERLAY.

UM, WE ACTUALLY GOING BACK TO TALK TO THEM IN A FEW WEEKS, I THINK FEBRUARY 3RD, UM, ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR ABOUT THAT PROPOSAL.

UM, SO THOSE, THERE'S STILL THINGS THAT FROM, I GUESS YES, WE CAN DEFINITELY REWORD THIS TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE AND IMPLEMENT THOSE CHANGES OF THE UDC.

BUT LIKE I SAID, WE'RE, WE NEVER ANTICIPATED IT WOULD BE 100% PERFECT THE FIRST FIRST TRY.

SO WE'RE CONTINUING TO REFINE NO, BUT TO ME THAT'S EDITS, IMPROVEMENTS, WHATEVER WORDS YOU WANNA USE, NOT IMPLEMENT.

TO ME IMPLEMENTATION IS ALREADY OUT THERE.

IT, IT IS A DOCUMENT THAT SOMEBODY FOLLOWS NOW.

AND SO I JUST WOULD REPHRASE THAT WHOLE SURE.

GOAL NUMBER ONE TO BI MEAN IF YOU NEED TO PUT ONE AS IMPLEMENTED AND CHANGE YOUR STATUS TO COMPLETE IT AND THEN DROP DOWN AT A AND B OR WHATEVER TO, TO EXPLAIN ALL THOSE THINGS.

I'M, I'M FINE WITH THAT, BUT I, IT'S A LITTLE MISLEADING IF YOU ASK ME.

I'D, I'D LIKE TO SEE THE, THE ZONING OVERLAY FOR THE PARKS DISTRICT AS A SPECIFIC LINE ITEM AS A GOAL.

WE'LL PROBABLY PUT THAT AS SOMEWHERE AS, UM, AS LIKE A SUB A SUBHEADING OR SOMETHING UNDER A REFINED UDC.

YEAH, I MEAN IT'S A MAJOR IMPORTANT ITEM, SO I THINK IT'LL HAVE A LOT OF DISCUSSION AND IT'S WORTHY OF ITS OWN.

SURE.

SO WHILE THIS IS UP, LES, OH, SORRY.

YOU OKAY, COOL.

I I HAVE MORE.

OH, YOU DO UHHUH BY ALL MEANS.

OKAY, SO SAME COMMENTS ABOUT COMPREHENSIVE ADDISON 2025 OR 2050, EXCUSE ME, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GOAL NUMBER.

WHICH THAT'S BEEN IMPLEMENTED.

UNDER, THAT'S DONE TOO, RIGHT? IT IS NOT, COUNSEL HAS NOT ACTED UPON IT YET.

UM, SO TECHNICALLY IT'S STILL, THEY HAVEN'T APPROVED IT YET.

NO.

WHAT'S THE DELAY? SO IT GOES FOR A, UH, WORK SESSION NEXT WEEK ON THE 27TH AND TENTATIVE ADOPTION

[00:40:01]

ON FEBRUARY 10TH.

BUT IT IS NOT CURRENTLY ADOPTED, BUT IT'S DONE THROUGH US AT THIS MOMENT.

UHHUH , IT IS, IT IS NOT ADOPTED.

SO THERE IS IT, IT COULD, I DON'T, I'M NOT ANTICIPATING IT TO COME BACK, BUT IT IS POSSIBLE.

TYLER, GO AHEAD.

THANK YOU.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

UM, SO ONE COMMENT ON THE GOALS.

SO I REALLY DO LIKE THE NEW FORMAT OF THE PNZ PACKET FOR STAFF REPORTS.

I THINK THAT'S GOOD.

UM, ARE YOU PURSUING ANY ADDITIONAL CHANGES TO THAT FORMAT THIS YEAR? YOU MEAN TO THE REPORT ITSELF OR? YEAH, YEAH.

SEE LIKE HOW YOU DO IT, UH, HOW YOU DO THE REPORT.

ARE THERE ANYTHING IN THE PIPELINE? I THINK I, I'M MISUNDERSTANDING YOUR QUESTION.

SORRY.

SO I GUESS BECAUSE GOAL TWO SAYS REVIEW AN UPDATE PNZ PACKET AND STAFF REPORT FORMAT.

OH YEAH.

YES.

SO I THINK, SO SOME OF THAT COMES IN AND YOU'VE ALREADY, WE'VE ALREADY BEEN DOING SOME OF THAT, WHICH IS WHY IT'S ONGOING.

BUT THINGS WE'VE BEEN UPDATING, YOU MAY SEE SOME, UM, REFINEMENT OR SOME DIFFERENCES IN OUR, IN OUR PRESENTATIONS TO REFLECT THE UDC MM-HMM .

UM, THAT'S REFLECTED IN OUR STAFF REPORTS AS WELL.

UM, MORE OF A CONTINUED EDUCATION TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE APPROPRIATELY COMMUNICATING WHAT THE CODE IS, ESPECIALLY 'CAUSE IN MOST CASES IT HAS CHANGED OR EVOLVED IN SOME WAY AND WHAT THE STANDARDS ARE.

UM, ANOTHER CHANGE WE'VE MADE, UM, AND THIS WAS IMPLEMENTED APPROXIMATELY NOVEMBER AND AN EMAIL WAS SENT OUT, UM, REGARDING THE RECOMMENDATION AS WELL FROM STAFF.

RIGHT.

SO THINGS LIKE THAT, UM, THAT ARE, THAT WE CAN HAVE DONE, UM, AND CONTINUE TO DO.

UM, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE, WE WOULD WELCOME FEEDBACK RIGHT NOW.

WE DON'T HAVE NECESSARILY ANYTHING LINED UP AT THIS MOMENT.

IT'S KIND OF A, A EVOLUTION OR BRAINSTORMING TO IMPROVE TRANSPARENCY.

SUPER.

UM, NO, I LIKE WHAT Y'ALL HAVE DONE SO FAR.

GREAT WORK.

UM, NO MORE COMMENTS ON THAT.

UH, REGARDING KEY FOCUS AREA THREE, GOAL ONE, UH, SUMMARIZED MARKET AND DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS.

I GUESS SHORT QUESTION IS WHEN COULD WE EXPECT THAT THIS YEAR AND TWO, WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THAT? YES.

SO WHAT THE INTENT WAS, AND WE'RE A LITTLE BEHIND SCHEDULE, UM, DUE TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BEING A LITTLE BEHIND SCHEDULE, BUT THE INTENT WAS IS THAT, UM, EVERY OTHER YEAR, UM, WE WOULD DO, PROBABLY NOT THE SAME, BUT SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THE HOUSING FAQ COMBINED WITH THE MARKET REPORT.

SO THAT THE INTENT OF THAT WOULD BE TO TEAM UP WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, DO A HOUSING OVERVIEW, GET UPDATED INFORMATION COUNT SO FORTH, DO A, UM, DEMOGRAPHIC, UM, OVERVIEW.

IT'S KIND OF A, UM, IT WOULD BE A RELATIVELY SMALL PACKET OF INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE A SNAPSHOT ONCE AGAIN ABOUT EVERY TWO YEARS, UM, TO ADJUST MARKET CHANGES.

IN MANY CASES IT'S POSSIBLE OR FEASIBLE THAT WE WE'RE NOT GONNA SEE DRAMATIC CHANGES.

BUT I THINK WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT DATA, ESPECIALLY OVER A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME, YOU'RE GONNA START TO SEE A LOT OF TRENDS.

WE JUST HAVEN'T, UM, COLLECTED THAT DATA AS CLOSELY AS WE, AS WE COULD HAVE IN THE PAST.

COOL.

LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.

SO YEAH, THE INTENT WAS, SORRY I DIDN'T EXACTLY ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

THE INTENT WAS TO HAVE THE MARKET REPORT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DONE, WHICH WAS DONE IN 2024.

RIGHT.

THE INTENT WAS TO DO IT THIS YEAR.

HOWEVER, WE'RE SEVERAL OR A FEW MONTHS BEHIND ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TIMING.

SO I'M NOT SURE IF WE WILL STILL DO IT IN 2026, BUT THE INTENT WOULD THEN BE TO DO IT NEXT YEAR IN 27.

THANK YOU.

WITH REGARDS TO THE MARKET, UM, I'VE TALKED TO YOU ABOUT THIS BEFORE.

WE TEND TO DO A VERY ADDISON CENTRIC AND WE'RE SO SMALL, IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, I'D LIKE US TO EXPAND THE SCOPE OF WHAT WE CONSIDER RELEVANT MARKET FOR US.

UH, WE HAVE LIMITED INSIGHT INTO PEPPER SQUARE.

UH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE CALLING THE OLD VALLEY VIEW MALL NOW, UM, AND OR FARMER'S BRANCH THAT ARE VERY GERMANE TO THE HOUSING TRENDS IN OURS.

BUT WE DON'T REALLY DO, UM, A COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF LOOKING AT SURROUNDING AREAS.

AND I'D LIKE TO SEE IF WE CAN BRING SOME OF THAT IN.

I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO THE P AND Z.

WE'LL I KNOW IT'S NOT, IT MAY NOT BE PERFECT, BUT SOMETHING MORE THAN WHAT WE DO TODAY.

YEAH, WE'LL DEFINITELY EXPLORE THAT FURTHER.

UM, WHAT WE FOUND IS THE, TO DO A WIDER ANALYSIS LIKE THAT, THE COST USUALLY GOES UP DRAMATICALLY.

UM, AND THEN IT BECOMES REALLY A BUDGET POLICY DISCUSSION.

I MEAN IT'S JUST, WE'RE, WE'RE SO SMALL AND WE'RE SO AT THE MERCY OF THAT SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT THAT I, I THINK IT'S, IT'S PROBABLY A NECESSITY IN MY MIND CERTAINLY THAT WE TRY TO DO MORE THERE.

UM, DO WE USE COSTAR AT ALL? MM-HMM .

I MEAN COSTAR IS PRETTY ROBUST AND IT HAS A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY WHEN IT COMES TO TRYING TO DO MARKET STUDIES.

WOULD PIGGY PIGGYBACKING ON WHAT ALAN SAID, I WOULD THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT UH, MAYBE WAYNE EMERSON WOULD BE THE ONE TO, UH, ASSIST ON THAT .

SO I

[00:45:01]

YES, DEFINITELY.

I ACTUALLY COULD GET BEHIND LIKE A SMALL SECTION ON OUR REGIONAL PERSPECTIVE.

UM, I THINK THAT'S GOOD CONTEXT WHERE THE BUDGET ALLOWS.

ANY OTHER FEEDBACK? OH, I DID HAVE ONE THING ON THE REPORT ITSELF.

THERE WAS A 29% DECREASE IN CASELOAD THAT WAS DESCRIBED AS SLIGHT.

THAT'S A NITPICK.

THAT DOESN'T SEEM SLIGHT TO ME.

UM, I GUESS, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD SAY SOMETHING I, I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO GET CAUGHT ON COURT SAYING, OH, BIG ADDISON GOVERNMENT SAID IT WAS A SLIGHT DECREASE BUT IT WAS A 29% DECREASE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

WHEN WE CAN SAY WHILE THIS DECREASE IS MODERATE OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, THIS IS PRIMARILY DUE TO THE FINDINGS YOU DID, WHICH I WOULD TOTALLY UNDERSTAND.

NOT AT THE END OF THE WORLD IF YOU DON'T, JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.

NO, WE CAN DEFINITELY UPDATE THAT AND YOU THINK OF ANYTHING IN THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS.

FEEL FREE TO LET US KNOW.

WELL, AND I DON'T WANNA SIT AND NITPICK IT, BUT I PERSONALLY DON'T FIND COSTAR'S INFORMATION ALWAYS TO BE THAT GREAT.

SO LET'S, I HAVE MY ACCESS TO A LOT OF DATA.

IF SOMEBODY ENDS UP PULLING UP SOMETHING, LET'S MAYBE DISCUSS.

'CAUSE I DON'T, LIKE I SAID, I DON'T, THEY'RE NOT MULTI IS NOT THEIR INITIAL EXPERTISE OF WHAT THEY STARTED ON.

SO THERE'S PROBABLY SOME OTHER BETTER RESOURCES.

AND THEN, UH, QUICKLY TO WRAP UP, UM, THERE WAS, UH, SEVERAL GOALS THAT WERE ON THE 2025 WORK PLAN THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, THEREFORE HAVE BEEN REMOVED.

UM, THOSE ARE BEFORE YOU.

THAT INCLUDES, UH, FACILITATE THE ADOPTION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE UDC.

UM, CREATE A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING PROCESS WHICH HAS BEEN DONE AND IS ACTUALLY, UM, BEEN USED ONCE WITH, UH, TRINITY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY FOR A POTENTIAL ZONING, UH, WHICH HAS NOT YET COME BEFORE YOU ALL, UM, AS THEY WENT BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD FOR SOME UPDATES BASED UPON THAT NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING.

SO IT WAS A GOOD, A GOOD PROCESS.

UM, AND THEN EXPANDED USE OF GIS FOR AN ONLINE DEVELOPMENT MAP, WHICH THAT IS ONLINE AND IS UH, IS ACTIVE AND GETS UPDATED EVERY UH, TWO WEEKS.

AND THEN THE FOURTH ITEM IS TO CREATE AND IMPLEMENT THE ADMINISTRATIVE MANUAL FOR THE PROCESS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE UDC.

ONCE AGAIN, THAT'S ALSO LIVE AND ON THE WEBSITE.

I JUST HAD A THOUGHT FOR THE AMLI TOUR THING.

THAT'S THE SCHOOL THAT JUST MOVED INTO THE OFFICE.

WESTWOOD, I THINK THAT'D BE A GOOD ONE TO SEE, TO SEE.

THAT'S A BIG REDUCTIVE REUSE OF AN OFFICE BUILDING.

I THINK THAT'D BE VERY INTERESTING FOR US TO LOOK AT.

YEAH, THAT ONE MIGHT BE A GOOD ONE TO TRY TO DO DURING THE SUMMER WHEN SCHOOL'S NOT IN SESSION.

JUST SAY THAT OR AFTER THREE O'CLOCK THEY MAY.

NO, THAT'S TRUE.

NEED AFTERNOON.

MAYBE THEY, I GET THEY MAY HAVE ISSUES WITH KIDS BEING THERE, SO.

WELL AND ALSO, UM, SORRY I'M JUST BRAINSTORM HERE, BUT WE COULD WALK FROM, WE COULD WALK FROM IS WHAT I WAS GETTING AT.

TENDS CLOSE AND THEY'RE, UM, YEAH, WE COULD TRY TO DO THAT.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY, THEIR GYM IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW.

IT'S, IT'S UM, THEY'RE POURING THE FOUNDATION SO IT'S, THERE'S NOT MUCH TO SEE , BUT UM, YEAH, I'LL SEE IF THEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE.

ALRIGHT, WELL THAT CONCLUDES ALL THE ITEMS ON THE, UH, WORK SESSION.

ANYTHING FROM ANY OF OTHER COMMISSIONERS? NO.
