[00:00:03]
I CALL THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION WORK SESSION INTO ORDER.
THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION WILL GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION AT THIS TIME, 5:03 PM UH, PURSUANT TO THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT, TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 55 51 0.071 TO CONSULT ON OUR WITH OUR LEGAL COUNTS AND SEEK PRIVATE LEGAL ADVICE REGARDING CASE 1953 DASH Z SLASH ADDISON GREEN PD.
NO FINAL ACTION, DECISION OR VOTE WILL BE TAKEN WHILE IN THE EXECUTIVE SESSION.
THE EXECUTIVE SESSION IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED AND WE ARE RETURNING.
UM, WITH THAT, I WILL TURN OVER TO LESLIE.
LESLIE KNIGHT, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT AND NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES.
UM, THE FIRST ITEM ON THE WORK SESSION IS STATUS UPDATE ON RECENT, UH, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION CASES AND POLICY ITEMS. UM, WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TO UPDATE YOU ALL ON, HOWEVER, I DID WANT TO JUST MENTION THAT, UM, THIS SUMMER WE DID HAVE A PLANNING AND ZONING, OR EXCUSE ME, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INTERN.
UM, AND SHE'S HERE TONIGHT, CYNTHIA.
UM, AND SHE HAS CREATED, UM, A NEW DEVELOPMENT BROCHURE, UM, TO AS ANOTHER RESOURCE TO HELP US, UH, WITH THE PUBLIC AND WITH CUSTOMERS KIND OF EASE THROUGH THE PROCESS.
AND SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON DISTRIBUTING THAT.
SO WE'LL SHARE THAT WITH THE COMMISSION AS WELL IF YOU'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK.
SO, UH, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO HAVE THAT ADDITIONAL RESOURCE, UM, FOR US TO USE.
THE NEXT ITEM IS ITEM TWO, WHICH IS, UM, DISCUSSION REGARDING ITEMS ON THE AGENDA FOR THIS EVENING, JULY 21ST, 2026.
UM, WE HAVE MANY ITEMS ON THE AGENDA, SO I'M GONNA MOVE FAIRLY QUICKLY THROUGH THEM AND THE WORK SESSION.
UM, BUT UH, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANY CLARIFICATION SO WE CAN BE PREPARED DURING THE REGULAR MEETING.
UM, THE FIRST IS THE MAY 19TH MINUTES.
UM, THE NEXT IS A 30 DAY EXTENSION, UM, REQUEST FOR A REPL OF THE INNOVATION CENTER.
THEY'RE PROPOSING TO SUBDIVIDE THAT INTO TWO PARCELS.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT ITEM? PERFECT.
UM, THERE'S ALSO CONSIDERATION OF THE ADOPTION OF THE 2026 MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN.
ULTIMATELY, THAT WILL GO TO CITY COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION AFTER A RECOMMENDATION FOR THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
AND WE HAVE OUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, UM, BECKY DIY HERE TO PRESENT THAT TO YOU ALL AS WELL.
CAN WE ASK HER QUICK QUESTIONS NOW OR LATER? SURE.
BECKY DIVINITY, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING.
HOW CAN I HELP YOU? OKAY, SORRY, I KNOW THIS WAS QUICK BECAUSE WE JUST GOT 'EM ON THURSDAY.
EXPLAIN TO ME ON PROTON WHERE THEY'VE PUT THE FLASHERS IN, WHAT'D YOU CALL 'EM? BEACONS.
BEACONS WHERE YOU DEAD THE TRAIL COMES THROUGH THERE.
THERE WAS A PORTION OF IT, AND IF WE NEED TO TALK OFFLINE, I CAN SHOW YOU WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
THERE WAS A SECTION OF IT WHERE IT REFERENCED THAT, THAT BEING USED IN LIKE PORTIONS OF THE TRAIL, BUT YET WASN'T REALLY LABELED THAT WAY UP IN LIKE THE DESCRIPTION OF IT.
BUT THEN LATER ON IN THE REPORT YOU PICK IT BACK UP.
SO THAT IS JUST SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE CONSISTENT IN BOTH AREAS, RIGHT? THAT, THAT YOU USE THOSE KIND OF THINGS IN, I THINK THEY'VE REFERRED TO IT AS TRAILS, SOMETHING LIKE TRAILHEAD OR SOMETHING.
SO THE TRAILS MASTER PLAN, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT PARKS ACTUALLY ADOPTED IS ON STREET OR TRAILS THAT ARE NOT ON STREET.
SO THE MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN IS REALLY FOCUSED ON ANYTHING THAT'S WITHIN THE RIGHT OF WAY OR ON A STREET SPECIFIC.
UM, THE OTHER IS, YOU KNOW, BUILT BRIDGING THAT GAP, BUILDING THE CONNECTION PIECES, SO AS THE REDING TRAIL GETS TO A ROADWAY POINT, FOR EXAMPLE, THEN HAVING THAT TRAIL CONNECTIVITY ON THE RIGHT OF WAY.
UM, THE PROTON THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SPECIFICALLY, UM, WE HAVE A NEW PEDESTRIAN THAT WAS JUST MORE A SAMPLE OF WHAT OKAY.
WHAT IT WAS CALLED AND IT WAS JUST REFERENCED.
AFTER, I MEAN THESE ARE NOT, IT WOULD NEVER CHANGE THE THINGS.
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE CARRYING TERMINOLOGIES THROUGHOUT AND THEN I FOUND A COUPLE TYPOS THAT I'LL GET WITH SOMEBODY AT SOME POINT.
OTHERWISE THAT'S WHY IT'S A DRAFT.
ANYONE ELSE? YEAH, I'VE GOT ONE TRIGGERED YOU DID TRIGGER A QUESTION.
SO I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN THE MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN, UH, NEW TO P AND Z.
THE SUMMARY YOU GAVE US IS, ARE THESE ALL CHANGES FROM THE PLAN OR, I WASN'T QUITE SURE WHAT THESE WERE.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO THE UPDATE, ARE YOU, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE EXCEL SPREADSHEET WITH THE, THE COUNCIL COMMENTS IN IT AND STUFF OR JUST NO, WELL, IT, IT'S JUST, IT'S THE, UH, MASTER TRANSPORTATION
[00:05:01]
PLAN UPDATE THAT.UH, SO THE UPDATE, SO I CAME TO, UM, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION BACK IN DECEMBER.
AND PRESENTED THE OVERALL PLAN.
WE RECEIVED FEEDBACK AT THAT TIME.
THE MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN WAS THEN PUT ON HOLD UNTIL WE WENT THROUGH THE OVERALL DART ELECTION PROCESS BECAUSE IT, UH, ULTIMATELY WAS GONNA MAKE SOME MODIFICATIONS TO THE OVERALL PLAN.
NOW THAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THAT PROCESS, WE'VE MADE THE MODIFICATIONS, WE'VE HEARD FROM EITHER PLANNING AND ZONING OR THE CITY COUNCIL OR OTHER THINGS THAT STAFF HAD FOUND AS ERRORS, UM, OR THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO UPDATE, THINGS THAT HAD CHANGED OVER THAT TIMEFRAME.
UM, AND SO TODAY WE'RE BRINGING IT FORWARD TO YOU FOR ADOPTION, UH, OR FOR RECOMMENDATION OF ADOPTION.
IT'LL THEN GO TO COUNCIL NEXT TUESDAY WHERE COUNCIL WILL FORMALLY ADOPT THE PLAN.
ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS THAT COME UP DURING THAT TIMEFRAME? TYPOS, UM, LIKE YOUR CHAIR MENTIONED, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS, THOSE WILL ALL BE ADDRESSED BEFORE THE FINAL DOCUMENT IS PUT TOGETHER.
ONE QUICK QUESTION OR NOT YES SIR.
I JUST WANTED TO SAY VERY GOOD WORK.
WE HAD AN EXCELLENT, UM, GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS WORK TOGETHER ON THIS, SO I'M PLEASED WITH THE PRODUCT.
QUICK, I HAVE QUICK QUESTION TOO.
SO, YES, SIR, ON PAGE 81 WHERE YOU HAVE THE CROSSING IMPROVEMENTS MAP, THE, THE NUMBERING IS NOT AS TO PRIORITY, CORRECT? IT'S JUST A OH, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
I CAN TELL YOU THE PROJECTS THAT WE PLAN TO DO FOR THE, THIS YEAR AND FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR, BUT NO SIR.
ASK AND ANSWERED, ASK STUDENT ANSWERED.
ANYBODY ELSE BEFORE I TURN AROUND? THANKS BECKY.
ALRIGHT, UM, THE NEXT ITEM IS A REZONING REQUEST FOR A NEW PLAN DEVELOPMENT, UM, FOR BOTH UM, FEE SIMPLE TOWN HOMES AS WELL AS AGE RESTRICTED MULTI-FAMILY.
UM, OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE THE FULL PRESENTATION, UM, LATER DURING THE REGULAR MEETING, BUT ANY, UM, IMMEDIATE ITEMS THAT YOU THINK MIGHT REQUIRE SOME RESEARCH FROM STAFF? YEAH, I HAD ONE QUESTION ON THAT.
THEY WERE ASKING FOR SOME SORT OF, UM, A CREDIT FOR THE PARKS, UM, CORRECT.
COULD YOU PROVIDE SOME CLARIFICATION ON LIKE THEIR BASIS FOR IT? IT WASN'T QUITE, UH, JELLING WITH ME READING IT.
YEAH, SO THERE, THE APPLICANT, UH, WHICH WE'LL GO INTO GREATER DETAIL, UM, BUT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING SOME, UM, AMENITIZED COMMON AREAS WITHIN THE, UM, OBVIOUSLY THE TOWN HOMES WHICH ARE OPEN SPACE.
UM, THEY ARE CO THEY'RE HOA LOTS AND SO THEY'RE NOT TECHNICALLY PUBLIC PARK OR PUBLIC PROPERTY, HOWEVER, THEY ARE AMENITIZED AND FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, I DON'T BELIEVE THEY ARE GOING TO ACTIVELY POLICE THEM.
AND IF THERE IS AN INDIVIDUAL WHO'S NOT LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY SITTING ON A BENCH FOR EXAMPLE, I DON'T BELIEVE THEY ARE GOING TO ESCORT THEM OUT OF THE AREA.
AND THEN, UM, SO FOR THAT PURPOSE THEY ARE ASKING FOR A CREDIT SINCE THEY ARE PROVIDING SOME AMENITIZED AREAS.
THEN, UM, LIKEWISE I BELIEVE THE, UM, FOR THE AGE RESTRICTED MULTIFAMILY, A SIMILAR, UM, CONSIDERATION THAT THEY ARE PROVIDING ONSITE AMENITIES FOR THEIR RESIDENTS.
UM, AND SO THEY BELIEVE, UM, A REDUCTION IS APPROPRIATE SINCE THEY ARE PROVIDING SOME AMENITIES ONSITE.
UM, AND THEN THE NEXT ITEM, UM, ON THE AGENDA IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT.
UM, I DO WANNA, UM, STRESS THAT, UH, DUE TO THE, THE PREVIOUS ITEM, WHICH IS THE ADDISON GREEN PLAN DEVELOPMENT, A, IT DOES NOT CURRENTLY COMPLY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, UH, DESIGNATION AS UM, HIGH INTENSITY URBAN CENTER.
A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT WILL BE REQUIRED UM, TO COMPLY WITH STATE LAW IN ORDER, UM, TO UM, APPROVE THAT REZONING REQUEST.
SO THOSE TWO ITEMS WILL BE PRESENTED BY STAFF TOGETHER.
UM, CONCURRENTLY WITHIN THE SAME PRESENTATION, UM, THERE WILL NEED TO BE TWO MOTIONS AND TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS RELATED TO THOSE TWO ITEMS AND OBVIOUSLY TWO VOTES FOR THAT.
UM, THE NEXT ITEM OR THE UH, IS AN AMENDMENT TO AN EXISTING PLAN DEVELOPMENT, UM, TO AMEND THE PERMITTED USE AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THE REMINGTON ADDISON PLAZA.
THERE'S TWO, UM, INDEPENDENT BUILDINGS THAT IS NEAR BELTLINE AND MARSH.
UM, IT'S KIND OF, UH, I KNOW THAT CHIPOTLE IS LOCATED THERE, DICK'S BARBECUES TO BE LOCATED THERE.
TO GIVE YOU SOME REFERENCE, UM, THE APPLICANT FIRST APPROACHED US WITH THE INTENT TO REZONE OR AMEND, EXCUSE ME, THE PREVENTATIVE USE AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS TO ALLOW MEDICAL USES WITH THE INTENT OF UM, HAVING A DENTAL OFFICE THERE.
UM, AND THROUGH THAT PROCESS WE DID FURTHER EVALUATE THEIR PD WAS FROM I BELIEVE THE EIGHTIES.
AND SO WE DID IDENTIFY A COUPLE OF OTHER MINOR AMENDMENTS THAT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO THE CENTER LONG TERM TO COMPLY WITH THE UDC.
SO, UH, WE WORKED THE APPLICANT TO
[00:10:01]
UPDATE THOSE AS WELL.AND THEN THE LAST PUBLIC HEARING ITEM IS A REZONING REQUEST FOR THE FORMER SALAD AND GO LOCATION, UM, FROM A PLAN DEVELOPMENT TO A BASE ZONE OF COMMERCIAL LIMITED.
UM, SO THIS WOULD OBVIOUSLY REMOVE THE UNIQUE PD STANDARDS AND REVERT IT BACK TO OUR BASE UH, ZONING DISTRICT.
UM, THIS IS FOR A NEW ROAD RUNNER'S COFFEE.
THEY WOULD, UM, BE UM, REPURPOSING THAT SALAD AND GO FACILITY FOR A DRIVE THROUGH AND WALKUP COFFEE SHOP.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON ANY OF THOSE ITEMS? PERFECT.
ALRIGHT, AND THEN, UM, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO JADE FOR THE THIRD ITEM ON THE WORK SESSION.
GOOD EVENING COMMISSION, JADE.
BROAD NEXT, COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING MANAGER.
UM, SO I'M JUST GONNA GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENTS THAT ARE PENDING.
UM, SOME BACKGROUND ON WHY THIS ITEM HAS COME BEFORE YOU.
UM, THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPTED THE NEW UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE IN MARCH OF LAST YEAR, AND IT WAS EFFECTIVE, UH, SEPTEMBER 1ST OF LAST YEAR.
SO SINCE THEN, UH, STAFF HAS HAD A CHANCE TO UTILIZE THE CODE.
WE HAVE IDENTIFIED, UM, SEVERAL MINOR CLARIFICATIONS THAT, UM, REALLY ARE PERTAINING TO LAND USES AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSES THAT COULD, UM, BENEFIT FROM, FROM SOME CLARITY IN THE CODE ITSELF.
AND THEN ALSO THERE IS A PROPOSAL FOR A NEW PARKS OVERLAY ZONING DISTRICT, WHICH COMES BY THE REQUEST OF CITY COUNCIL AT THEIR APRIL WORK SESSION.
SO WE WILL CIRCULATE THE DOCUMENT TO ALLOW YOU TO PROVIDE SOME FEEDBACK AND RECOMMENDATIONS EITHER VIA ONEDRIVE EMAIL, UM, WHICHEVER METHOD IS THE MOST, IS THE EASIEST FOR Y'ALL.
AND THEN WE'LL WE'LL RETURN WITH A RED LINE DRAFT, UM, LATER THIS SUMMER FOR DISCUSSION.
SO AS MENTIONED, AGAIN, THE SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES ARE THE PARK OVERLY DISTRICT CREATION, EVERYTHING ELSE IS RELATIVELY MINOR.
SO THESE ARE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS CHANGES, MEANING IT'S STAFF OVERSIGHT FOR ALL OF THESE.
AND THESE HAVE COME UP FROM VARIOUS PROCESSES THAT WE CURRENTLY ADMINISTER AS STAFF, WHETHER THAT BE A PRE-APPLICATION CONFERENCE OR EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE, THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO AGAIN, JUST SOME ADDITIONAL CLARITY TO SPECIFIC SECTIONS OF THE DEVELOPMENT CODE INCLUDING IMPERVIOUS SURFACE.
UM, THREE MEASURING REQUIREMENTS, UM, AND PREFERENCES THAT HAVE BEEN PASSED ON TO US FROM THE PARKS DEPARTMENT.
UM, SIGN SPACING AND MODIFICATIONS, MINOR MODIFICATIONS FOR MIXED USE, UM, DEVELOPMENTS, CLARIFICATIONS TO PARKING RATIOS, MAKING SURE THAT IT'S CLEAR PATIO SPACE IS INCLUDED IN A PARKING RATIO.
AGAIN, MINOR THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, AND THEN WE HAVE IDENTIFIED A COUPLE NEW LAND USES THAT WOULD BENEFIT TO BE DEFINED IN THE CODE THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY DEFINED AS MENTIONED EARLIER.
WE COULD, UM, BENEFIT FROM SOME DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE INTENSITY OF PROPOSED MEDICAL USES, THINGS THAT MIGHT BE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR AN OFFICE VERSUS, UM, LIKE MORE OF A TRUE MEDICAL OR HOSPITAL FACILITY.
SO THE REVIEW SEQUENCE, UM, THIS HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO COUNCIL A FEW DIFFERENT TIMES AND SO WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THE REDLINE DRAFT CURRENTLY AND WE'LL COME BACK TO CITY COUNCIL AFTER THIS MEETING TO PRESENT THE REDLINE DRAFT, TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION, UM, COMMENTS THAT EITHER THE COMMISSIONER OR THE COUNCIL HAS PROVIDED TO STAFF AND HAVE BEEN INTEGRATED INTO THE UPDATED REDLINE DRAFT.
AND THEN WE'LL COME FORWARD WITH ESSENTIALLY WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED AN ADOPTION DRAFT.
SO, UM, GO BACK TO P AND Z AND THEN DO MAILED NOTICE TOWN WIDE.
AND THEN, UM, COME FORWARD FOR, EXCUSE ME, I MISSPOKE.
SO COME BACK TO P AND Z FOR A WORK SESSION ITEM TO DISCUSS THE RED LINE DRAFT.
THEN NOTICE THEN THE ADOPTION DRAFT FOR THE COMMISSION AND COUNCIL IN FALL OF THIS YEAR.
SO CURRENTLY WE'RE JUST SEEKING FEEDBACK FOR POTENTIAL AMENDMENTS.
AGAIN, WHICHEVER METHOD IS EASIEST FOR YOU TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK, WE WILL TAKE IT.
UM, BUT I'LL, MYSELF OR LESLIE WILL SEND OUT A DOCUMENT, UM, THAT YOU CAN COMMENT ON AND THEN WE WILL INTEGRATE CHANGES AS AS NECESSARY.
ANY QUESTIONS? WHAT'S YOUR TIMING ON YOUR COMMENTS THAT NEED TO BE RETURNED? LIKE WHAT, HOW MUCH TIME ARE WE GETTING FOR REVIEW? WE'VE GIVEN A, A COUPLE OF WEEKS FOR COUNCIL.
[00:15:01]
ADD QUICKLY, UM, YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE CLEAR DIRECTION.IF YOU SAY, YOU KNOW, GIVE US SOME FEEDBACK LIKE, I, I DON'T LOVE X, WE CAN PROVIDE SOME ALTERNATIVES OR PROVIDE SOME FEEDBACK, UM, COMPARATOR CITIES, THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, IF YOU MAYBE DON'T THINK THAT WHAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY IS THE BEST PATH FORWARD, BUT DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW WHAT THE BEST ALTERNATIVE IS, WE'LL WORK ON ALL THAT INFORMATION AND DEVELOPING A RED LINE FOR, FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION.
IS THE TOWN WORKING WITH ANY, UH, CONSULTANTS OR ANYTHING ON THIS ONE OR IS IT ALL INTERNAL? INTERNAL.
UH, CITIZEN COMMENTS AT THIS TIME, CITIZENS WILL BE ALLOWED TO SPEAK ON ANY MATTER OTHER THAN PERSONAL MATTERS UNDER LITIGATION FOR A LENGTH OF TIME, NOT TO EXCEED THREE MINUTES.
NO P AND Z ACTION OR DISCUSSION MAY TAKE PLACE ON ANY MATTER UNTIL SUCH MATTER HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE AGENDA AND POSTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW.
IS ANYONE HERE WANTING TO SPEAK ANYONE ONLINE? OKAY.
HAVING SEEN NONE, I WILL OFFICIALLY CLOSE THE WORK SESSION AND WE WILL RESUME 'EM BACK AT SIX O'CLOCK.
