[00:00:01]
THANK YOU.[Call to Order]
IS TUESDAY, AUGUST 18TH, TWO 20, 2026.I OFFICIALLY CALLED THE ADDISON
[a. Status update on recent Planning and Zoning Commission cases and planning policy items.]
PLANNING AND ZONING, UH, WORK SESSION INTO ORDER.UM, WITH THAT, I GUESS I TURN IT OVER TO LESLIE OR COREY, WHO'S UP.
DO YOU HAVE A HIGHLIGHTER OVER THERE BY CHANCE PLEASE? WHEN YOU'RE DONE IN BETWEEN.
A COUPLE OF UPDATES ON CASES FROM JULY.
UM, THE REMINGTON ADDISON PLAZA PD AMENDMENT FOR, UM, PERMITTED USES AND, UM, UPDATING RESTAURANT AND PARKING RATIOS FOR, UH, THE UDC WAS ADOPTED, UM, AS PRESENTED WITH ONE MINOR MODIFICATION THAT THE MEDICAL CLINIC WAS.
UM, UH, IT WAS NOT APPROVED WITH MEDICAL CLINIC, IT WAS APPROVED WITH DENTAL OFFICE.
THE ROADRUNNER'S COFFEE, UH, REZONING REQUEST WAS APPROVED AS WELL.
THEN WE HAVE AN UPDATE ON THE ADDISON GREEN APPLICATION.
IT WAS WITHDRAWN AFTER THE DENIAL FROM PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION IN JULY.
UH, SO JUST WANTED TO GIVE THAT UPDATE FOR YOU.
UH, THEN WE HAVE OUR, UM, ITEMS FOR THE AGENDA.
DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE CASES IN GENERAL? I CAN.
I DID NOT PULL UP THE PRESENTATION YET.
UH, THE REPL OF THE EXCEL PARKWAY IN ADDISON ROAD.
THAT WAS ASKED TO BE POSTPONED.
WAS THAT THE CASE? SO THEY ASKED FOR A SECOND YES.
EXTENSION LETTER, UM, OR EXTENSION.
UM, SO WITH STATE LAW, THEY CAN HAVE UP TO 90 DAYS, BUT THEY HAVE TO REQUEST THE EXTENSION.
THEY HAVE ALREADY REQUESTED ONE 30 DAY EXTENSION.
THEY ARE REQUESTING A SECOND 30 DAY EXTENSION.
UM, THAT WOULD BE THEN EXTENSION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING, SEPTEMBER PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
UM, THAT, THAT IS STILL UP FOR YOU GUYS TO GRANT.
UM, YOU, IF YOU APPROVE THE EXTENSION, THEY'LL CONTINUE ON TO THE NEXT ONE.
IF YOU, UH, DENY THE EXTENSION, YOU CAN DENY OR APPROVE THE PLAT AS IS.
THE POSTPONEMENT IS ACTUALLY FOR OUR LAST CASE ON THE AGENDA, AND THAT IS FOR, UM, VITRUVIAN BLOCK 300, THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVALS.
UM, THAT ONE HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO ALLOW THEM TO, UM, TO GET ONE LAST REMAINING ITEM UPDATED PRIOR TO COMING TO THE COMMISSION.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE AGENDA? ALRIGHTY.
I'M BACK TO THIS COMMENT FORM THING.
HOW COME IT SAYS RECIPIENT NUMBER AND I START WITH SIX? WHERE'S ONE THROUGH FIVE? I DO NOT KNOW
I'M, GOD, I'M LOSING MY MIND OVER HERE.
IT'S, UM, IT'S AN ONLINE FORM, THIS EARLY PROCESS.
SO IT'S, IT'S ONE THROUGH WHATEVER OVER THE SPAN OF TIME THAT WE'VE USED THE ONLINE FORM.
SO THAT, I BELIEVE IS, WOULD BE THE SIXTH INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS COMPLETED THE ONLINE FORM.
SINCE WE'VE MOVED THAT ONLINE, IT DOESN'T RESET THE, IT'S A CONTINUATION OVER TIME AND WE JUST A FLAW IN THE SYSTEM.
WE DON'T HAVE, TYPICALLY, WE DON'T HAVE VERY MANY PEOPLE FILL OUT THE ONLINE COMMENT FORM.
THEY JUST SHOW UP AND FILL OUT THE PAPER FORM.
UM, BUT ANYWAYS, WE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE SUBMIT ONLINE.
IT SEEMS LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF A, I GET THAT IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S A TECHNOLOGY.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S INTERNAL TECHNOLOGY OR WHAT, BUT THAT SEEMS A LITTLE FLAWED.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'RE GONNA KEEP TRACK OF ALL THESE.
I MEAN, LIKE, THIS IS KIND OF A TRACKING NIGHTMARE.
THERE'S, THERE'S ALSO NO, WE COULD TALK ABOUT IT ELSEWHERE.
THERE'S ALSO NO 12 JUST IN CASE.
UM, UH, THERE'S AN 11, THERE'S A 13.
[00:05:01]
SOMEBODY'S GOT IT OPEN ON THEIR DESK AND FORGOT TO SEND, I THINK IS WHAT PHONE PROBABLYNO OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT TONIGHT'S AGENDA.
YOU GUYS, THAT QUESTION, LIKE, I DON'T KNOW WHY WE CAME SO EARLY.
ITEMS ON THE AGENDA OR ARE YOU NOT? UH, WELL, WE'LL GET TO, YEAH, NOT, NOT ANYTHING WE'RE NOT ALREADY GONNA GET TO.
UM, SO WE DO HAVE OUR UDC, UH, AMENDMENTS TO BRING FORWARD TO YOU.
I AM GONNA ASK JADE TO DO THAT PRESENTATION.
[c. Present and discuss potential amendments to the Unified Development Code (UDC).]
THERE WE GO.JADE BRONA, COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING MANAGER.
WE'RE GONNA GO OVER THE, IS THIS ONE? SORRY, THERE'S A BIT OF A LAG.
OKAY, WE'RE GONNA GO OVER THE UDC AMENDMENT.
I APPRECIATE Y'ALL ALREADY TAKING THE TIME TO REVIEW THE DRAFT RED LINE.
UM, AND WE WILL WORK THROUGH MAJOR UPDATES THAT ARE PROPOSED AS WELL AS SEVERAL MINOR CLARIFICATION EFFORTS.
UM, BUT THE PURPOSE OF THE DISCUSSION COMES FROM CITY COUNCIL, UM, IN TANDEM WITH KIND OF ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES THAT WE RECOGNIZE NEED TO BE MADE AS WE ADMINISTERED THE NEW DEVELOPMENT CODE THAT WAS EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 1ST OF LAST YEAR.
UM, AS DISCUSSED AT THE LAST WORK SESSION RELATED TO THIS ITEM, WE DO HAVE, UH, MINOR CLARIFICATIONS, MOSTLY RELATED TO LAND USE CONTROLS, AS WELL AS A NEW PROPOSED OVERLAY DISTRICT.
SO THE PROPOSED REVIEW SEQUENCE PERTAINING TO THIS, WE ARE AT THE PNZ WORK SESSION TONIGHT.
OUR NEXT STEP IS GOING TO BE, UH, ESSENTIALLY FINAL EDITS AND THEN COME FORWARD WITH AN ADOPTION DRAFT.
SO PRIOR TO THAT, WE WILL DO MAILED NOTICE IN PREPARATION FOR THE PUBLIC HEARINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARINGS.
UM, WE'RE LOOKING AT A VERY EARLY SEPTEMBER DATE, I BELIEVE SEPTEMBER 9TH IS THE TENTATIVE DATE FOR THE ADOPTION HEARING FOR P AND Z.
AND THEN I BELIEVE WE'RE STILL SCHEDULING THE EITHER LATE SEPTEMBER OR EARLY OCTOBER DATE FOR CITY COUNCIL.
SO AT THIS TIME, WE'RE JUST REQUESTING EDITS.
A LOT OF Y'ALL HAVE PROVIDED COMMENTARY VIA EMAIL.
UM, AND WE'LL INCORPORATE, UM, THOSE THAT ARE APPROPRIATE FROM THAT FEEDBACK WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED.
SOME OF THAT'S ALREADY BEEN INCORPORATED AS WELL AS, UM, FEEDBACK FROM THE DISCUSSION TONIGHT.
WE'LL START WITH THE MOST SUBSTANTIAL AND THEN GET INTO CLARIFICATIONS AFTER THAT.
UM, BUT FEEL FREE TO INTERRUPT AS WE GO THROUGH AS WELL.
BUT WITH THE PARKS OVERLAY ZONING DISTRICT, UM, AGAIN, THIS IS A NEW OVERLAY ZONING, SO IT IS ADDITIONAL, UM, REGULATIONS THAT WOULD EXIST ON TOP OF THE EXISTING BASE ZONING.
AND WHAT IT WOULD DO IS ESSENTIALLY IDENTIFY PUBLIC PARKS AND PARK LAND ON THE INTERACTIVE ZONING MAP OR THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT MAP, WHICH IS LIVE TODAY.
BUT YOU WOULD SEE A CLEARLY DESIGNATED SYMBOL WITH THAT GREEN HATCH TO MAKE IT, UM, MORE PROMINENT FOR DEVELOPERS AS THEY'RE COMING THROUGH, OR ANYBODY WHO'S HELPING TO ADMINISTER THE CODE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS ON ALL PUBLIC PARKLAND.
AND SO THE WAY THAT WE'VE CODIFIED THIS IS TO ESSENTIALLY PLACE SPECIFIC, UM, PARK CLASSIFICATIONS IN A DESIGNATED LIST WITH APPROVED PARK IMPROVEMENTS.
SO ANY IMPROVEMENTS THAT EXIST IN PARKS TODAY ARE ESSENTIALLY ADDED TO A LIST IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE MANUAL, WHICH IS SEPARATE FROM THE DEVELOPMENT CODE, BUT IT MUST BE FOLLOWED AS CODIFIED IN THE DEVELOPMENT CODE.
AND THAT INCLUDES THAT EXHAUSTIVE LIST OF, UM, ELEMENTS PERMITTED PER PARK CLASSIFICATION.
SO FOR AN EXAMPLE, UM, IN ADDISON CIRCLE PARK,
[00:10:01]
THE PARK CLASSIFICATION WOULD BE, UH, DESTINATION PARK, I BELIEVE IS THE TITLE FOR THAT.AND THEN IT WOULD LIST THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE EXISTING TODAY UNDER THAT PARK CLASS FOR ADDISON CIRCLE, SPECIFICALLY, UM, IN THE ADMIN MANUAL.
AND SO THIS IS A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ABOUT THAT.
SO AGAIN, ANY PROPOSED PARK IMPROVEMENT HAS TO ALIGN WITH ESSENTIALLY WHAT'S EXISTING TODAY FOR EXISTING PARKS.
AND WE'VE BORROWED THAT FROM THE, UH, MASTER PLAN, THE PARKS MASTER PLAN, WHICH I THINK IS THE NEXT SLIDE.
IT'S UNFORTUNATELY BLURRY BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF INVENTORY IN THERE.
BUT, SO THE PARKS MASTER PLAN ON THE SIDE, OR SORRY, COLUMN TWO DOES, UH, PROVIDE THAT PART CLASSIFICATION.
SO THAT'S WHERE WE TOOK THAT LANGUAGE FROM.
AND THEN THE IMPROVEMENT CLASSIFICATION ALSO COMES FROM THIS CHART.
SO THIS IS, UM, EXISTING TODAY, UM, ADOPTED TODAY.
SO ESSENTIALLY WE JUST ADDED ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE TO MAKE IT CLEARER WHAT THE TYPES OF CLASS CLASSIFICATIONS ARE SO THAT IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD ADMINISTER WITH A DEVELOPMENT CODE.
SO, UM, THE TEXT TO THE UDC THAT WOULD MAKE THIS ABLE TO BE ADMINISTERED IS ON THE SCREEN AND ALSO ON THE RED LINE.
AND SO WHAT IT'S DO, WHAT IT'S DOING IS CREATING A PROCESS FOR A MODIFICATION TO A PARK.
SO YOU CAN EITHER HAVE A MINOR MODIFICATION, WHICH IS MEETING THESE CRITERIA OUTLINED HERE, OR A MAJOR PARK MODIFICATION, WHICH ARE THOSE CRITERIA LISTED THERE AND WE'LL GO THROUGH.
BUT THE PURPOSE OF A MINOR PARK MODIFICATION IS TO, UM, HAVE AN ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS.
SO SOMETHING THAT WOULD FALL INTO ESSENTIALLY GENERAL MAINTENANCE, NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH A PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS.
AND SO THESE STANDARDS SUPPLEMENT THAT INTENT.
AND SO WE DID COORDINATE QUITE A BIT WITH THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, UM, TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS MATCHES THEIR EXISTING PROCEDURES, UM, FOR PARK PLANNING, LONGER RANGE PLANNING, AND THEN ALSO DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS WITH THEIR PARKS, FIELD CREWS AND, AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
AS WELL AS, UM, COORDINATED WITH THEIR PROCESSES FOR, UM, MAJOR BUDGET PROPOSALS FOR PARK IMPROVEMENTS AS WELL.
SO THE CRITERIA FOR A MINOR PARK MODIFICATION, WHICH AGAIN IS ESSENTIALLY MAINTENANCE, UM, IS THAT IF SOMEBODY IS WANTING TO MAKE AN IMPROVEMENT IN AN EXISTING PARK, UM, A CONSTRUCTED PARK, IF YOU WILL, IF THEY MEET TWO OR MORE OF THESE CRITERIA, THEN IT'S CONSIDERED MINOR.
AND AGAIN, THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH A PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS.
SO, UM, FUNDED UNDER THE GENERAL FUND, HOTEL FUND OR EXISTING SELF-FUNDED PROJECT BUDGET.
UM, THE INTENTION OF THIS IS THAT THAT'S ALREADY GONE TO CITY COUNCIL WITH THE BUDGET PROPOSAL.
SO THERE'S OVERSIGHT, UM, WITH THAT, BUT HAS ALREADY EXISTED.
AND THEN THE NEXT ONE IS THAT IT'S MAINTAINING PARK IMPROVEMENTS OR PARKLAND THAT'S PROTECTING AGAINST HEALTH HAZARDS.
SO KIND OF FUNCTIONS SIMILARLY TO LIKE A TREE PERMIT WHERE IF A TREE IS HAZARDOUS, WE DON'T WANT TO, UM, DEFER MAINTENANCE ON SOMETHING THAT'S HAZARDOUS.
SO AT LEAST TWO, IF YOU MEET AT LEAST TWO OF THESE, THEN IT'S MINOR.
IF I MEET THREE OF THEM MINOR, YEP.
SO I COULD HAVE A PUBLIC SAFETY THREAT, 50% INCREASE IN, UH, GROSS FLOOR AREA BY NO MORE THAN 50%.
I, I EXPECTED IT TO BE THE OPPOSITE.
AND THEN THE THIRD CRITERIA THERE IS, UM, MAINTENANCE FOR DAMAGE.
SO STRUCTURAL DAMAGE, UM, WITHIN PARK BUILDABLE AREA.
SO WE SPECIFICALLY DEFINE THAT TO THE BUILDABLE AREA, UM, TO COMPLY WITH TRADITIONAL REGULATIONS THAT APPLY TO ALL DEVELOPMENTS.
SO ESSENTIALLY WE'RE COUNTING FOR SETBACKS AND THINGS YOU CAN ACTUALLY BUILD ON.
UM, THE FOURTH CRITERIA IS IF AN EXPANSION ALTERATION OR MODIFICATION OF AN EXISTING OR APPROVED STRUCTURE IS NOT BEING, UM, CHANGED ESSENTIALLY BY MORE THAN 50%.
[00:15:01]
SO IF IT'S KIND OF SIMILAR TO TYPICAL LANGUAGE, YOU'LL SEE WITH LIKE A NON-CONFORMITY.SO IF THE MAJORITY OF AN EXISTING IMPROVEMENT IS, UM, BEING CHANGED, THEN IT'S CONSIDERED A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT.
BUT IF IT'S NOT THE MAJORITY, THEN IT'S MINOR.
AND THEN, UM, SORRY, DAVE'S BLOCKING A LITTLE BIT OF THE TEXT THERE, BUT, UM, THE LAST OR TWO IS, UM, SO WHERE FOUR IS TALKING ABOUT A STRUCTURE, FIVE IS TALKING ABOUT THE QUANTITY OF IMPROVEMENTS.
SO AGAIN, THIS RELATES BACK TO THAT INVENTORY LIST.
SO AN IMPROVEMENT IS, IT COULD BE SOMETHING AS MINOR AS LIKE A BENCH OR THE, THE DESIGNATED STREET FURNITURE.
UM, SO IF YOU'RE PROPOSING TO CHANGE THE NUMBER OF THOSE THINGS BY MORE THAN 50%, THEN IT'S A MAJOR PARK IMPROVEMENT.
UM, AND THEN KIND OF A CATCHALL IN THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE NOT, AGAIN, REQUIRING ANYBODY TO GO THROUGH A PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS IF THE EXISTING CONDITION IS HAZARDOUS BY WAY OF A PUBLIC SAFETY THREAT.
I'VE GOT A QUICK QUESTION, JADE.
UH, ALAN'S QUESTION ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HAVING TWO OR MORE.
WHAT IF IT ONLY MEANS ONE OF THOSE CONDITIONS? WHAT'S THE PROCESS FOR THAT? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
YEAH, I GUESS IT'S JUST IF YOU ONLY MEET ONE, THEN YOU WOULD DEFAULT TO A MAJOR MODIFICATION.
SO THIS IS, THERE'S ONLY, THERE'S ONLY REALLY TWO PATHWAYS, RIGHT? IS A MINOR OR MAJOR.
AND THE MINOR IS VERY CLEARLY DEFINED AS THE ATTEMPT TO DEFINE BASIC MAINTENANCE.
OR, YOU KNOW, IF WE GET A FIX IT REQUEST FOR EXAMPLE, OR REPEATED FIX IT REQUEST THAT SAYS WE KEEP FINDING TRASH AT THIS LOCATION, WE SHOULD INSTALL A TRASH RECEPTACLE.
WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY RESOLVE THAT WITHOUT HAVING TO GO TO P AND Z AND CITY COUNCIL TO REQUEST ONE TRASH CAN RIGHT.
UM, BUT LET'S SAY THAT SOMEONE SAYS WE WANT NEW TRASH CANS ALL UP AND DOWN THE EXPANSIVE MIDWAY ROAD, THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A MUCH MORE SIGNIFICANT UNDERTAKING, BOTH FROM A BUDGETARY PERSPECTIVE, BUT ALSO FROM A, AN AMENITY PERSPECTIVE OR AN IMPROVEMENT PERSPECTIVE.
SO THEN THAT THING OR THAT, THAT, THAT, UM, CIRCUMSTANCE WOULD BE MAJOR.
WHAT ABOUT IF IT'S LIKE JUST A PUBLIC SAFETY THREAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S, WHAT'S THE MECHANISM TO NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH P AND Z TO FIX SOMETHING THAT'S JUST LIKE A, A KNOWN THREAT BUT DOESN'T MEET THE OTHER CRITERIA? SO IN THAT SCENARIO, UM, WE WOULD LIKELY HAVE TO POTENTIALLY CLOSE AND OR SECTION OFF A SEGMENT OF A PARK, UM, OR AN AMENITY.
UM, THAT'S, I MEAN, THAT'S PRETTY COMMON.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE, THE MOST COMMON EXAMPLE WOULD BE, UM, THE ATHLETIC CLUB IS IF THERE IS A FACILITY LIKE A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT IS DAMAGED AND IS A, LIKE A THREAT OR SAFETY THREAT TO USE MM-HMM
IT IS TAKEN OFFLINE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME UNTIL THAT CAN BE RESOLVED, WHATEVER THAT RESOLUTION IS.
UM, IN THIS CASE, IT WOULD REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING.
I I CAN SEE THAT BEING A VERY SMALL SET OF USE CASES.
UM, 'CAUSE LIKE A, A TREE THAT'S HAZARDOUS, RIGHT? MIGHT MEET BOTH SIX AND TWO 'CAUSE IT'S AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD.
SO LIKE, YOU KNOW, MOST THINGS I THINK SHOULD BE COVERED BY THIS.
BUT IF YOU GUYS MAYBE HAVE A SECOND TO RUN THROUGH THAT AGAIN TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY HISTORICAL SCENARIOS THAT WE HAVE THE MOST EFFICIENT AND SAFE PROCESS FOR ADDRESSING THEM.
UM, WHICH CLOSING IS CLOSING IS EFFECTIVE FOR SAFETY, BUT MAY NOT BE SO FUN.
SO IF THERE'S A WAY WE CAN AVOID THOSE BY, BY TWEAKING THIS LANGUAGE, I'D BE OPEN TO IT.
I, IF I UNDERSTAND THIS, NUMBER ONE IS GENERALLY GONNA BE THE FIRST GATE AND THAT'S ALMOST ALWAYS GONNA APPLY FOR SOMETHING MINOR, RIGHT? SO YOU KIND OF GET ONE FOR FREE, IS THAT HOW I'M, DO I UNDERSTAND THAT? CORRECT? I DON'T MEAN FREE, BUT IT'S, IT'S GOTTA BE GENERAL FUND.
IT'S GOTTA BE ALREADY FUNDED, RIGHT? SO YOU KIND OF GET ONE FOR FREE.
SO IT'S REALLY ONE PLUS ANOTHER.
POTENTIALLY AN EXAMPLE THAT, UM, WE USED, WELL, SO AN EXAMPLE THAT, UM, CAME UP AT COUNCIL THAT WOULD ACTUALLY FALL UNDER MINOR BUT MAYBE COULD BE, EXCUSE ME, WOULD FALL UNDER MAJOR, BUT WOULD COULD BE, UM, YOU KNOW, IN SOMEONE'S MIND CONSTRUED AS MINOR IS THERE WAS A DECISION PACKAGE TWO YEARS AGO TO ACTUALLY RESAW, I BELIEVE IT WAS BECKER PARK AND THAT WAS A PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL FINANCIAL REQUEST.
UM, AND IT WAS MORE THAN 50% OF THE BUILDABLE AREA.
[00:20:01]
WOULD BE CONSIDERED MAJOR, EVEN THOUGH AT FACE VALUE SOMEONE MIGHT SAY, OH, OTTING AN ENTIRE PARK.THAT SEEMS RELATIVELY MINOR, BUT TECHNICALLY BY THESE CRITERIA IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED MAJOR.
I THINK THAT'S CLEAR ENOUGH TO ME ANYWAY.
OKAY, SO MAJOR PARK MODIFICATIONS.
UM, SO THIS IS PERTAINING TO CREATING NEW IMPROVEMENTS ESSENTIALLY, OR EXPANDING PLANNED PARK IMPROVEMENTS.
SO IF YOU'RE INTRODUCING SOMETHING NEW, IT'S NOT, ESSENTIALLY IF IT'S NOT FOUND IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE MANUAL ON THE LIST OF ESSENTIALLY PERMITTED IMPROVEMENTS PER PARK CLASS, THEN YOU'RE INTRODUCING A NEW IMPROVEMENT.
AND THAT IS A MAJOR, UM, MODIFICATION, MAJOR PARK MODIFICATION, AND THEY DO HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS.
UM, AND UM, IF IT'S ESSENTIALLY SPECIAL FUNDED, SO A THIRD PARTY GRANT FUNDING, BOND FUNDING AND UH, CIP PROJECT, THIS WOULD APPLY.
AND THEN AGAIN, A CATCHALL IF IT DOES NOT ALIGN WITH CRITERIA FOR A MINOR MODIFICATION, SO ANYTHING THAT ISN'T MINOR IS MAJOR.
SO THAT'S WHERE LESLIE WAS CLARIFYING.
IF IT'S NOT TWO OR MORE, THEN DUE TO THE WAY IT'S DRAFTED IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO ADMINISTER IT, IT IS EFFECTIVELY MAJOR.
I'M JUST GONNA MAKE ONE LAST RECOMMENDATION HERE TO RECONSIDER JUST USING A DOLLAR VALUE.
WHAT WAS THAT? SORRY? USE A DOLLAR VALUE MAYBE.
AND SIMPLY I THINK WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT GENERATING TOO MUCH WORK FOR YOU GUYS AND TOO MUCH HAVING TO REVIEW.
AND I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONSIDER MAYBE WE JUST SAY IF IT'S BELOW $50,000, IT'S MINOR, AND IF IT'S OVER AND WE GET RID OF ALL OF THIS AMBIGUITY ABOUT LANGUAGE AND JUST A THOUGHT.
UM, ANY OTHER THOUGHTS ON THE OVERLAY? I HAVE A QUESTION.
UM, WE STARTED THIS EFFORT, IF I RECALL PROPERLY, THE, UH, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE A PARKS, UH, DESIGNATION AND THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF COMMUNITY OUTRAGE ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF SELLING PARKS TO DEVELOPERS AND THAT SORT OF THING.
IS THIS THE APPROPRIATE PLACE TO ADDRESS THAT? WELL, I KNOW WE HAVE A STATE LAW THAT REALLY ADDRESSED IT, BUT WE'VE DONE THIS, GONE THROUGH THE EFFORT.
SHOULD IT BE PUT IN PLAIN TEXT SOMEPLACE THAT WE DON'T JUST GET TO SELL PARKS? OH, I SEE.
UM, SO ESSENTIALLY THAT IS WHAT THE SUM OF THE REGULATIONS DO BY PLACING ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS ON ANY IMPROVEMENT AND THEN OPENING IT UP TO PUBLIC COMMENT AND DENIAL IN ADDITION TO THE STANDARD PROCESS OR EXISTING PROCESS, WHICH IS THE DOLLAR AMOUNT.
SO ABOVE $50,000, ESSENTIALLY A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT DOES HAVE TO GET FUNDED SPECIAL APPROVAL THROUGH COUNCIL.
WELL, AS I, AS I UNDERSTOOD IT, UM, BY STATUTE, THE CITY, WE, WE COULDN'T APPROVE A PARK, UH, CELL, IT WOULD'VE TO GO TO A COMMUNITY-WIDE BOAT.
THAT IS, IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IS CORRECT.
SO BROADLY HOW THE PRO IF, IF THE TOWN WERE TO PURSUE THAT PROCESS, THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE A, UM, REFERENDUM PER CHARTER AND PER PER TOWN CHARTER AND PER STATE LAW.
SO THE TOWN WOULD HAVE TO VOTE AND APPROVE THAT VOTE TO, UM, DIS VOTE OR CONVEY THE, I THINK THE WORD IT'S USED IS CONVEY.
SO THAT WOULD BE ANY TRANSFER OF, OF PARKLAND.
UM, AND SO THEY WOULD HAVE, THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE A POPULAR VOTE BY THE RESIDENTS AND PASS.
AND IF, IF THIS OVERLAY WAS APPROVED AND APPLIED, UM, THE TOWN WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT REFERENDUM, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE APPROVED, AND THEN THE TOWN EITHER ON OUR, ON OUR OWN BEHALF, OR WOULD THE PURCHASER WOULD THEN HAVE TO REZONE THE PROPERTY TO REMOVE THE PARK OVERLAY, WHICH GENERALLY RESTRICTS USES TO THOSE ALLOWED WITHIN THE PARK.
NO, I, I, I THINK I UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS.
I'M JUST WONDERING IF THIS DOCUMENT SOMEHOW SHOULD REFER BACK TO THAT TO QUIET SOME OF THE, UH, CONCERNS.
I WOULD SAY THAT IS NOT COMMONLY A DEVELOPMENT STANDARD.
I GUESS LEGAL, DO YOU HAVE ANY INPUT ON RE REFERRING BACK TO THE, THE TOWN CHARTER? CAN USE YOUR MIC SO, UH, DAVE CAN HEAR, PLEASE.
[00:25:01]
WITH IT BEING MENTIONED, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY NOT NECESSARY.I WOULDN'T GET TOO DOWN INTO THE WEEDS BECAUSE IT'S NOT A REGULATION REALLY.
UM, BUT IT CAN BE MENTIONED THAT LIKE, HEY, REMINDER PARK PROPERTY CAN'T BE CONVEYED WITHOUT A REFERENDUM.
UM, SO NEXT WE'RE JUST GONNA GO SEQUENTIALLY THROUGH THE UDC WITH MORE MINOR EDITS.
THERE ARE A COUPLE IN HERE THAT ARE COUNCIL DIRECTED, SO I'LL POINT THOSE OUT.
BUT MOST OF THESE ARE STAFF DIRECTED, AGAIN, FROM ADMINISTERING THE CODES IN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR AND FINDING CHANGES THAT WE'LL MAKE IT CLEARER MOSTLY FOR APPLICANTS, UM, WHAT THE INTENT OF THE CODE IS.
SO WITH ARTICLE ONE, I BELIEVE THERE'S ONLY ONE CHANGE TO NON-CONFORMING, UM, THE NON-CONFORMING SECTIONS.
SO WE ADMINISTER THIS WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT STRUCTURES INCLUDES STRUCTURAL ADDITIONS, BUT THAT NEEDED CLARIFICATION, UM, FOR APPLICANTS.
SO WE ADDED THE WORD ADDITIONS.
UM, ARTICLE TWO IS ADMINISTRATION, UM, ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES RELATED, UM, REGULATIONS.
UM, SOME OF THESE ARE STATE LAW CHANGES, BUT I'LL JUST GO THROUGH ONE BY ONE.
SO SECTION 2 4 3 H APPLICATION WITHDRAWAL.
UM, WE ADDED THAT STANDARD TO ENSURE THAT THE DE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS MOVES THROUGH IN A TIMELY MANNER, BUT ESSENTIALLY IT PLACES A TIME CONSTRAINT ON SOMEBODY TO GO TO COUNCIL.
SO AFTER THEY'VE COME TO PNZ, THEY NEED TO GO TO COUNCIL WITHIN 60 DAYS, UM, AND HAVE CODIFIED THAT IN MORE, UM, TECHNICAL LANGUAGE IN THE RED LINE.
BUT THAT IS THE INTENT OF THAT 2 4, 5 C IS NOTICE.
SO WE HAD A CHANGE TO STATE LAW.
OUR CURRENT CODE SAYS THAT, UM, 72 HOURS IS REQUIRED FOR, UM, NOTICE, BUT IT'S THREE BUSINESS DAYS, SO IT PROVIDES ADDITIONAL NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC WITH THAT CHANGE.
UM, 2, 4, 5 D IS AN UPDATE TO REFLECT, UH, RECENT HOUSE BILL ESSENTIALLY THAT WAS PASSED TO MAKE IT CLEARER FOR THOSE WHO ARE RECEIVING MAILED NOTICE.
UM, MOST PROMINENTLY, UM, RELATED TO A NON-CONFORMITY.
SO ESSENTIALLY IF THE TOWN IS DOING A TOWN WIDE ZONING AND IT CREATES NON-CONFORMITY, WE HAVE TO PLACE, UH, WE HAVE TO PLACE SPECIFIC LANGUAGE ON A LETTER THAT GOES OUT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THAT'S WHAT IT'S FOR.
SO WE'VE INCORPORATED THAT 2 4 5 D AND TWO FOUR 5G, UM, IS RELATED TO THAT SAME HOUSE BILL PROTEST PROCEDURES.
SO AGAIN, IT'S JUST SPECIFIC LANGUAGE PER STATE LAW THAT WE HAVE TO INCORPORATE, UM, FOR SPECIFIC ZONING CHANGES.
UM, 2, 4, 5 E PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS, UM, REMOVING PROCEDURES THAT DON'T REQUIRE PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES.
SO THIS IS JUST A FORMATTING CHANGE, UM, TO THE CHART.
2 62 C THRESHOLDS FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW TYPE.
THERE'S A CROSS REFERENCE TO ANOTHER SECTION.
SO A MINOR SITE PLAN IS A PROCESS THAT WE DO ADMINISTRATIVELY.
UM, AND THERE ARE CRITERIA THAT HAVE TO BE MET, KIND OF SIMILAR TO THE PARK IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED.
UM, AND SO WE JUST CARRIED FORWARD THE TEXT FROM ANOTHER SECTION TO MAKE IT CLEAR ALL THE CRITERIA APPLY IN BOTH SITUATIONS SO THAT THERE'S NOT CONFLICT WITH THAT 2 6 3 TREE PERMIT.
UM, THIS IS A NEW STANDARD THAT WE INCORPORATED WITH FEEDBACK FROM OUR ARBORIST AND PARKS PROJECT MANAGER, UM, WHERE WE'VE HAD A FEW CASES COME THROUGH WITH A LANDSCAPE INSPECTION SITUATION WHERE WE ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO WAIVE A PERMIT REQUIREMENT FOR A HAZARD THAT COULD CREATE A LIABILITY.
AND SO WE INCORPORATED THAT, UM, OPTION TO THE CODE 2 9 4 C REPL IS AN UPDATE TO THE CHART.
SO THIS IS A FORMATTING CHANGE.
UM, THE STATE LAW PLACES THE REGULATIONS FOR US ON REALLY SPECIFIC INSTANCES FOR RELAS ON WHEN A PUBLIC HEARING OR PUBLIC MEETING MAY BE REQUIRED.
AND, UM, TECHNICALLY BOTH COULD BE REQUIRED.
AND WE FOUND THAT THERE WERE TWO SECTIONS THAT
[00:30:01]
KIND OF CONFLICTED.SO WE SAID PUBLIC MEETING IN ONE PUBLIC HEARING THE OTHER, WE NEEDED TO PUT THEM BOTH IN BOTH SECTIONS.
TABLE TWO POINT 10 DASH ONE, MINOR MODIFICATIONS.
SO THIS IS PERTAINING TO DEVELOPMENT, UM, PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WHERE WE REALIZE THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR, UM, GLASS MATERIAL AND THERE IS NO OPTION.
SO THE MINOR MODIFICATIONS CHART LISTS SPECIFIC CRITERIA THAT YOU CAN SEEK MINOR MODIFICATIONS FOR.
AND UM, FIRST FLOOR GLASS WAS NOT INCLUDED, SO WE INCLUDED THAT.
THEY WOULD STILL HAVE TO REQUEST IT IF THEY WANTED IT, BUT NOW THEY HAVE THE OPTION.
UM, ANY QUESTIONS ON ARTICLE TWO? WE SHOULD PROBABLY SPEED IT UP.
WE ONLY HAVE HALF AN HOUR LEFT.
SO THIS IS THE IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE FOR ESSENTIALLY ALL THE ZONING ZONING DISTRICTS, THE CHARTS THAT PERTAIN TO EACH ZONING DISTRICT LIST, THE IMPERVIOUS COVER PERCENTAGES.
AND, UM, WE FOUND THROUGH DEVELOPMENT SCENARIO THAT IT WAS CONFUSING TO DEVELOPERS THAT THE IMPERVIOUS COVER APPLIES TO, TO THE ENTIRE SITE, NOT AN INDIVIDUAL LOT.
SO IF YOU'RE DOING A TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT AND IT SAYS 80% COVER REQUIRED, THAT'S NOT PER TOWNHOME LOT, THAT'S PER THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT.
3 8 2, WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THAT.
THAT'S WHERE THE OVERLAY WILL RESIDE ONCE IF AND WHEN IT'S CREATED.
UM, 3 9 6 IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE.
UM, THIS IS RELATED TO, UM, FEEDBACK FROM A DEVELOPER, BUT THERE WAS A CONFLICT IN THE IMPERVIOUS COVER CALCULATIONS THAT WE MADE CLEAR WE WANT PEOPLE TO USE PERMEABLE PAVERS, UM, WHERE THEY CAN TO ASSIST WITH BETTER DRAINAGE CONDITIONS.
AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS AN ERROR IN THE CODE THAT MADE THAT CONFUSING AND MADE IT SEEM LIKE YOU COULDN'T DO THAT.
SO CLARIFY THAT IN THAT SECTION.
ANY QUESTIONS WITH ARTICLE THREE? OKAY, ARTICLE FOUR IS, UH, USE CHANGES.
SO PROBABLY GET MORE COMMENTARY BASED ON THIS ONE, BUT 4, 2, 1, THERE WAS AN UNNECESSARY SECTION OF TEXT.
IT REFERENCED NOTHING, SO WE GOT RID OF THAT 4, 2 7 TABLE OF ALLOWED USES.
UM, SO THIS IS BASED ON A LOT OF OUR PRE-APPLICATION CONFERENCES AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT USES THAT WERE NOT DEFINED, THAT NEEDED TO BE DEFINED.
SO WE UPDATED SEVERAL OF THESE, UM, SO HOSPITALS AND MEDICAL, MEDICAL CLINICS.
UM, WE HAD A PROPOSAL IN THE AIRPORT WITH, UM, EMERGENCY SERVICES THAT WOULD INCLUDE AN AMBULANCE, WHICH WAS NOT PERMITTED AND UM, IT WAS APPROPRIATE FOR THE AIRPORT AND A BIT CONFLICTING TO FIND AN APPROPRIATE USE.
UM, AND SO WANTED TO MAKE THAT OPTION CLEARER AND PERMITTED.
UM, THAT USE IN THE AIRPORT DISTRICT.
UH, WE ADDED A NEW, A NEW USE FOR RETAIL PET CARE FACILITIES.
WE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A DISTINCTION BETWEEN BOARDING AND RETAIL PET FACILITIES, WHICH HAVE DIFFERENT INTENSITIES, UM, IN TERMS OF POTENTIAL NUISANCES.
AND SO WE CREATED THAT USE WITH ITS, UM, PROTECTIONS.
WE ALLOWED KENNELS IN THE MIXED USE DISTRICTS, WHICH ARE MEANT TO BE URBAN FORM BY SUP ONLY BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL NUISANCES IN A DENSE AREA.
SO HAVING ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS FOR THAT.
WE ADDED CIGAR LOUNGE AS A USE DISTINCT FROM OTHER SMOKING FACILITIES.
SO IN THE UDC AS DRAFTED, HOOKAH BAR IS THE ONLY SMOKING FACILITY THAT'S SPECIFICALLY CALLED OUT, BUT IT DOES HAVE A DIFFERENT OPERATIONAL STANDARD AND, UM, DIFFERENT SET OF ISSUES THAT WE FOUND HAVE COME UP RELATED TO THAT USE AND SO ADDED A SEPARATE USE FOR THAT.
UM, WE DID PROHIBIT HOOKAH BARS.
THIS IS COUNCIL DIRECTED, I BELIEVE, UM, OR THERE WAS A COUNCIL DISCUSSION PERTAINING TO THIS.
UM, AND WE ADDED A RETAIL SMOKING FACILITY, SO AGAIN, RELATED TO SMOKING, DID NOT HAVE A DISTINCTION FOR THAT.
SO THIS WOULD BE LIKE A, A VAPE SHOP COMPARED TO A CIGAR LOUNGE.
DIFFERENT, UM, INTENSITIES IN TERMS OF TURNOVER WITH PARKING, THINGS LIKE THAT.
[00:35:01]
USE PERMISSIONS FOR LOW IMPACT MANUFACTURING TO ALLOW THAT IN THE AIRPORT.AIRPORTS ESSENTIALLY AN INDUSTRIAL ADJACENT ZONE AND SO WANTED TO INCORPORATE MORE INDUSTRIAL USES, UM, THAT ARE NOT INTENSE.
SO, UM, MINIMAL IMPACT BUT STILL APPROPRIATE WITHIN THE AREA.
WE, UM, DID NOT CATCH THIS WITH THE ADOPTION OF THE UDC, SO CARRIED THIS FORWARD, BUT, UM, WAREHOUSING WAS MEANT TO BE ALLOWED IN COMMERCIAL GENERAL UP TO 75%.
SO INCLUDED THAT WITH THIS EDIT.
WE DID CHANGE THE EVENT SPACE, USE PERMISSIONS FROM PERMITTED TO ACCESSORY, UM, DUE TO, UH, NUISANCES THAT HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCED RELATED TO THAT USE.
AND WE DEFINED KITCHEN AND KITCHENETTE TO CLARIFY THAT WITH LODGING PERMISSIONS.
SO, UM, THERE'S THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOTELS ESSENTIALLY THAT HAVE DIFFERENT, UM, KITCHEN FACILITIES, WHICH PERTAIN TO THE LENGTH OF STAY AND SO WANTED TO MAKE THAT VERY CLEAR IN THE CODE 4 3 3 E MEDICAL CLINIC.
SO, UM, WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF FEEDBACK PERTAINING TO MEDICAL USES IN THE PAST YEAR OR SO, AND NEEDED TO AGAIN, MAKE DISTINCT HOSPITAL FOR MEDICAL CLINIC.
THEN ALSO ALLOW FOR ESSENTIALLY MEDICAL USES THAT ARE MORE APPROPRIATE OR SIMILAR IN INTENSITY TO LIKE A TRADITIONAL OFFICE.
AND SO EXPANDED THE DEFINITION OF CLINIC AND THEN MATCHED THAT TO THE USE, UM, CHART TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WAS CONSISTENT.
AND THEN DID PROHIBIT RETAIL PHARMACIES IN INDUSTRIAL ZONING BECAUSE, UM, AGAIN, VERY DIFFERENT, UM, TRAFFIC PATTERNS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, 4 3 4, A PET CARE COMMERCIAL.
WE PROHIBITED KENNELING OR VETERINARY CARE TO COMPLY WITH MIXED USE CHARACTER, UM, CHICKENS, 4 3, 4 C, TWO C.
UM, IT WAS NOT CLEAR THAT A MAXIMUM OF THREE IS ALLOWED.
IT UM, WAS A BIT OF A GRAY AREA, SO I MADE THAT CLEAR.
WE ADDED A USE SPECIFIC STANDARD THAT, UM, STATES IF IT'S ACCESSORY TO A PRIMARY USE, IT CAN'T BE MORE THAN 25% OF THE FLOOR AREA OF THE PRIMARY USE TO ENSURE THAT THAT IS TRULY ACCESSORY.
UM, HOOKAH BARS, WE DID REQUIRE EXISTING HOOKAH BARS BECAUSE AGAIN, AS A COUNCIL DIRECTED PROHIBITION OF HOOKAH BARS, UM, THERE ARE EXISTING HOOKAH BARS.
AND SO FOR THOSE THAT WOULD BECOME LEGALLY NON-CONFORMING, THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL RESTRICTION ON THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE COMPLYING WITH, UM, HEALTH CODES TO HAVE THOSE EXPECTED FOR FILTRATION.
UM, PURPOSES, FOUR 30 5G WAREHOUSE FACILITY, UM, WE CARRIED FORWARD THE EXISTING PROVISION TO ALLOW WAREHOUSING UP TO 75%.
I THINK THAT MIGHT BE A REPEAT.
SO, UH, THIS IS A NEW USE IN PARTICULAR TO ALLOW IT ACCESSORY ONLY TO A RESIDENCE HOTEL, WHICH IS MEANT TO BE A BIT LONGER OF A STAY AND KITCHENETTE, WHICH IS LIMITED AS A USE FOR LIMITED OR FULL SERVICE HOTEL.
ANY QUESTIONS ON ARTICLE FOUR? YES.
UM, THE CLOSING OF, OR EXCUSE ME, THE BANNING OF HOOKAH LOUNGES.
UM, DID COUNCIL OR STAFF OPINE ON THE REASONING BEHIND THAT? UM, DO WE HAVE THAT AVAILABLE? YEAH.
UM, SO I THINK JADE BEGAN TO ADDRESS IT, BUT UM, FROM OUR EVALUATION OF EXISTING, UM, BUSINESSES IN ADDISON, THEY OPERATE, UM, VERY DIFFERENTLY THAN SOME OF OUR OTHER SIMILAR USES, WHICH IS ONE REASON WHY THEY WERE SEPARATED AS AN INDEPENDENT USE LAST YEAR WHEN THE CODE WAS ADOPTED.
UM, AND FURTHER EVALUATION, AS JADE MENTIONED, E INTENSITY AS FAR AS IMPACT BOTH WITH PARKING, TURNOVER, UM, AND SO FORTH.
THEY ARE SIMILAR USES ARE ALMOST OPERATING MORE LIKE RETAIL, WHEREAS, UM, WE'RE IDENTIFYING THAT HOOKAH BARS ARE OFTEN OPERATING, UM, MUCH LATER AT NIGHT.
UM, MUCH HIGHER INTENSITIES, MUCH LONGER STAYS AND SO FORTH.
AND I JUST HAVE TO ADMIT THAT SMELLS REALLY FUNNY TO ME.
[00:40:01]
THE, THE CLOSING OF HOOKAH BARS, SPECIFICALLY CAR CARVING OUT CIGAR LOUNGES, AND I RECOGNIZE THESE BUSINESSES OPERATE DIFFERENTLY.UM, AND THEY HAVE DIFFERENT HOURS GENERALLY.
UM, I'M A CIGAR GUY MYSELF IF I DO SMOKE.
UM, BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BUSINESSES THAT GENERALLY SERVE A MORE DIVERSE CLIENT BASE.
A YOUNGER CLIENT BASE ARE OWNED BY MINORITY BUSINESS OWNERS.
UM, YOU KNOW, UH, THERE'S MORE WOMEN WHO SMOKE CAH.
UH, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE, THERE'S, THERE'S NO DI DIRECT EVIDENCE THAT THIS IS BASED ON ANY PROTECTED RACE OR CLASS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT IT SMELLS FUNNY AND I DON'T, I DON'T, I I JUST NEED TO SEE STRONGER EVIDENCE BEFORE I CAN SUPPORT.
I RECOGNIZE THEY'RE MORE INTENSE.
I RECOGNIZE THEY'RE LATER, BUT A LOT OF THE HOOKAH BARS THAT I, UH, RESEARCHED, THEY STOPPED SELLING ALCOHOL AFTER TWO, IF THEY'RE OPEN LATER, WHY DIDN'T WE GO WITH RESTRICTING THE HOURS A LITTLE BIT? UM, WHY DIDN'T WE GO WITH HAVING THESE, UM, HAVING THESE INSPECTIONS? SURE, BUT NOT BANNING THEM OUTRIGHT.
I THINK THAT OPENS US UP TO, IF NOT DIRECT IMPLICATION OF LEGAL ACTION, CERTAINLY SOME TROUBLE.
AND I JUST PERSONALLY, THAT SMELLS FUNNY TO ME IF WE'RE GONNA CARVE OUT ONE SMOKING USE, BUT NOT THE OTHER.
I JUST, I, NO, I, I'D, I'D, I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT REMOVED.
I THINK IT'LL SAVE US A LOT OF TROUBLE.
I NOTED JADE, I HAVE A QUESTION ALSO, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INSPECTION AND SCHEDULING THE INSPECTION OF THE KOS? THE EXISTING ONES? THAT WOULD BE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH.
SO IT'S WITHIN OUR DEPARTMENT.
UM, AND THEY SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED THAT THAT BE INCLUDED DUE TO, UM, THE POTENTIAL NEGATIVE IMPACT OF NOT HAVING THOSE PROPERLY SERVICED.
SO WE TRACK AND INSPECT, SORRY, IN OTHER WORDS, WE SCHEDULE AND INSPECT ON SIX MONTHS.
SHOULD WE DO THAT INSPECTION FOR CIGAR LOUNGES TOO? I BELIEVE IT'S PROPOSED.
UM, THE, UM, HOOKAH LOUNGE IS NOT ALLOWED BY WRIGHT, BUT IT'S STILL ALLOWED WITH A SPECIAL USE PERMIT.
NO, THAT, THAT IS CURRENTLY TODAY THE STANDARD, THE PROPOSAL IN THE RED LINE IS PROHIBITION, SO THERE WOULD BE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THAT.
APART FROM AN AMENDMENT TO THE UDC.
UM, SO THIS IS WHAT WAS REFERENCED EARLIER.
UM, BORROWED THE LANGUAGE FROM THE SECTION TO MATCH THE MINOR SITE PLAN FOR MINOR REDEVELOPMENT TIER ONE, UM, SECTION 5 5 3 A CALCULATIONS FOR PARKING VERSUS, UH, RELATED TO DEVELOPER FEEDBACK THAT, UM, THIS WAS CONFUSING.
ESSENTIALLY, UH, PATIOS DO COUNT TOWARDS YOUR PARKING RATIOS.
MAXIMUM OFF STREET PARKING ALLOWED, UM, WE HAVE A MAX PARKING, UH, CAP OF 125% OF YOUR MINIMUM REQUIRED.
SO WE DON'T HAVE EXCESSIVE PARKING AND IT'S DRAFTED TO INCLUDE ESSENTIALLY NON, UM, NON-RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL USES.
UM, BUT IT SHOULD APPLY TO ALL.
UH, PROXIMITY TO TRANSIT, THIS IS COUNSEL DIRECTED.
THIS, UM, SECTION EXISTS AND WHAT IT CURRENTLY IS DRAFTED AS IS A BUFFER ESSENTIALLY OF, UH, LINEAR DISTANCE THAT ALLOWS AN APPLICANT TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF PARKING REQUIRED ON SITE.
UM, AND WE HAVE PROPOSED TO CHANGE THAT, TO HAVE SOME MORE CRITERIA ESSENTIALLY TO ENSURE THAT IT'S NOT JUST A LINEAR DISTANCE, BUT IT IS AN INTENTIONALLY CONNECTED DEVELOPMENT TO A TRANSIT STATION.
SO IT'S ACTUALLY SERVING ITS INTENDED PURPOSE.
AND SO DRAFTED A BUNCH OF CRITERIA IN THERE AND REQUIRED THE REDUCTION TO BE DEPENDENT ON MEETING THE CRITERIA OF AT LEAST THREE FROM THAT LIST.
UM, SO THAT'S THAT SECTION 5, 5 7 F SURFACE MATERIAL.
UM, WE HAD SOME CONFUSION ON PERMEABLE PAPER OPTIONS.
THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH DIRECTION IN THE CODE AND SO WE ADDED A CLARIFICATION THAT, UM, THE DIRECTOR WOULD HAVE TO APPROVE A PERMEABLE PAPER OPTION TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS ACTUALLY PERMEABLE.
AND AGAIN, MEETING ITS INTENDED PURPOSE TO MANAGE DRAINAGE ON SITE.
UH, MINIMUM LANDSCAPED AREA AREA, THIS WAS AN ERROR.
[00:45:01]
AND DELETED THE REDUNDANCY 5, 6 4 ON THAT ONE.I TOLD LESLIE THAT THAT, DID THAT CHART GET CORRECTED? IT WAS, UM, YOU WOULD, THERE IS NA IS THE VERY TOP.
UM, DENISE HAD MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS, UH, A BLANK.
AND THAT WAS REFERENCING R ONE AND R TWO.
WE DO NOT HAVE MINIMUM LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS FOR R ONE AND R TWO, SO THAT WAS INTENTIONALLY, UM, LEFT LINK AS YEAH, FROM OUR CONVERSATION YESTERDAY.
UM, OKAY, SO THIS IS RELATED TO THE LANDSCAPE AREA, UM, SECTION.
SO ESSENTIALLY THEY'RE SAYING VERY SIMILAR THINGS PERTAINING TO LANDSCAPE ISLAND, UM, DIMENSIONS AND SPACING.
SO WE JUST MOVED IT UP IN THE CHART TO BE EASIER TO READ.
UH, GENERAL MINIMUM TREE STANDARDS.
WE HAD FEEDBACK FROM, AGAIN, PARKS DEPARTMENT ABOUT HOW THEY ACTUALLY MEASURE TREES, THE PROFESSIONAL STANDARD FOR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE, ARBORISTS, ET CETERA.
AND SO WE CHANGED THE TREE MEASUREMENT TO BE, UM, DIAMETER AT BREAST HEIGHT FOR LARGER TREES.
AND THE NEXT SECTION MITIGATION.
SO, UM, THIS IS A NEW ADDITION AGAIN, BASED ON SITE, UM, REAL WORLD SITE APPLICATIONS.
SO HERITAGE TREE, HERITAGE TREES, OUR LARGEST TREES WERE, UM, WE ADDED THE ABILITY FOR THE ARBORISTS TO DETERMINE IF MITIGATION IS NECESSARY.
UM, AND THEN ALSO CLARIFIED THAT ALL OTHER TREES DO REQUIRE MITIGATION.
IT'S JUST AT A DIFFERENT RATIO THAT'S BEEN PROPOSED.
UM, ESSENTIALLY THIS IS PERTAINING TO, UH, AN UNPROTECTED TREE TYPE THAT MAY BE LARGE, THAT MAY NOT MEET, NEED TO BE MITIGATED OR A HAZARDOUS TREE SITUATION.
UH, TREE PERMIT RELATED TO THAT SECTION RIGHT ABOVE, WE ALLOWED THE TOWN ARBORIST SPECIFICALLY TO WAIVE THE TREE PERMIT IF A TREE IS HAZARDOUS FENCE MATERIALS.
THIS IS A CLARIFICATION, IT SAID CHAIN INSTEAD OF CHAIN LINK.
SO CLARIFY THAT PARKING STRUCTURE, UM, WAS REDUNDANT.
THERE WAS A REFERENCE TO MINOR MODIFICATIONS SPECIFICALLY IN THIS SECTION, BUT MINOR MODIFICATIONS APPLY TO THE ENTIRE, UM, CODE.
SO JUST REMOVED THAT REDUNDANCY, UNDEVELOPED REAL ESTATE SIGNS, THIS IS COUNCIL DIRECTED.
UM, WE INCORPORATED THEIR FEEDBACK TO MAKE SURE THAT REAL ESTATE SIGNS ARE ALLOWED NOT JUST ON ON DEVELOPED PROPERTIES, BUT ALL PROPERTIES AND THEY'RE SUBJECT TO SIGN REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO THE SIGN LIKE SIZE, LOCATION, TYPE, UM, SIGN REQUIREMENTS BY SIGN TYPE.
WE CLARIFIED A LIMITATION ON ATTACHED SIGNS.
UM, THIS IS FEEDBACK FROM ESSENTIALLY THE REAL ESTATE COMMUNITY.
UM, OR SORRY, THE ONE ABOVE THAT WAS FEEDBACK FROM THE REAL ESTATE COMMUNITY.
THIS ONE IS STAFF DIRECTED BECAUSE WE ESSENTIALLY HAD NO, UM, PROTECTIONS OVER VISUAL CLUTTER ON ATTACHED SIGNS FOR LARGE FACADES.
SO IF YOU HAVE AN OFFICE TOWER, THERE WAS NO LIMITATION ON THE NUMBER OF SIGNS YOU COULD HAVE.
SO THAT COULD BE, UM, NOT MEETING THE INTENDED DESIGN FOR CERTAIN DISTRICTS.
SO CLARIFIED THAT ADDITIONAL STANDARDS FOR POLE MOUNTED BANNERS IS STAFF DIRECTED.
UM, THERE WERE NOT, NOT SPECIFIC DIRECTIONS ABOUT WHERE YOU CAN MOUNT THOSE, UM, PERTAINING TO UTILITIES IN PARTICULAR.
SO WE JUST CLARIFIED THAT YOU CAN'T MOUNT BANNERS ON PUBLIC UTILITY POLES, DETACHED SIGNS.
THIS IS FEEDBACK FROM BUILDING SAFETY DIVISION.
UH, WE HAVE A VISIBILITY TRIANGLE MEASUREMENT.
WE TRY TO KEEP THOSE THINGS STANDARD ACROSS THE CODE, BUT THE AASHTO STANDARD IS QUITE COMPLICATED FOR SOMEBODY DOING A SIGN PERMIT.
SO WE CHANGED IT TO BE A 35 OR 35 VISIBILITY TRIANGLE FOR SIGNS.
UM, THEY CAN'T PLACE SIGNS WITHIN THAT BOUNDARY PARKLAND DEDICATION.
SO, UM, THIS WAS PASSED IN OCTOBER 25 BY THE PARKS DEPARTMENT.
THERE WAS, UM, LACK OF CLARITY, UM, WITH THE UDC, BLESS YOU WITH THE UDC AND THAT ORDINANCE THAT PASSED.
THEY INTENDED TO INCLUDE A FEE REDUCTION AND IT DIDN'T GET CODIFIED.
UM, AND THEN WE INCORPORATED THAT CODIFIED SECTION INTO THE UDC.
SO WE HAVE UPDATED THAT TO INCORPORATE THAT FEE REDUCTION AND MAKE IT MUCH CLEARER, UM, FOR EVERYBODY INVOLVED.
AND THEN APOLOGIES, THIS IS NOW ARTICLE SEVEN.
[00:50:01]
DEFINITIONS HERE.7 2 1 RESIDENTIAL USE DEFINITIONS.
UM, WE HAD CONFUSION WITH DEVELOPERS ON WHAT HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL MIXED USE MEANS.
THEY HAVE DIFFERENT STANDARDS THAT APPLY TO THEM IN TERMS OF SITE DESIGN.
SO CLARIFIED THAT WITH THE DEFINITION.
UM, PUBLIC INSTITUTIONAL AND CIVIC USE DEFINITIONS WE ADDED USES PERTAINING TO, UM, MEDICAL CLINIC TO ALLOW FOR LIMITED INTENSITY MEDICAL USES IN ESSENTIALLY A TRADITIONAL OFFICE SETTING.
UH, COMMERCIAL USE DEFINITION 7, 2 3.
UM, AGAIN, THESE ARE RELATING TO, UM, THE PREVIOUS ARTICLES MENTIONED, BUT WE'RE CARRYING FORWARD THE DEFINITIONS TO MAKE THAT VERY CLEAR.
UM, WHAT WOULD QUALIFY AS THAT USE FOR COMMERCIAL PET CARE CIGAR LOUNGE TO A BAR? SO IT PERTAINS CLEARLY WITH THE USE TABLE IN ARTICLE FOUR.
UM, MORE COMMERCIAL USES OFFICE.
WE, UM, HAVE HAD SOME REQUESTS FOR AESTHETIC TYPE PROCEDURES IN OFFICE, UM, ZONING AREAS AND, UM, WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT THAT WOULD BE PERMITTED IN AN OFFICE SETTING.
AND THEN RETAIL SALES SMOKING FACILITY AGAIN MADE THAT DISTINCTION TO PERTAIN TO THE USE TABLE IN THE DEFINITION SECTION SO THAT IT'S CLEAR THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A RETAIL SMOKING FACILITY LIKE A VAPE SHOP AND AN ONSITE CONSUMPTION TYPE SMOKING FACILITY LIKE A LOUNGE 7, 2 4 INDUSTRIAL USE DEFINITIONS.
WE, UM, THIS IS FEEDBACK BASED ON, UM, DEVELOPMENT SCENARIOS.
SO CERTAIN USES THAT DO ONSITE TESTING OF LIMITED CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL, UM, IN AN INDUSTRIAL AREA THAT'S APPROPRIATE.
AND SO WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT IN THE USE TO MAKE THAT EASIER TO ADMINISTER.
UM, ACCESSORY USE DEFINITIONS, CARETAKERS QUARTERS WAS OUT OF ORDER.
THE USES ARE LISTED IN ORDER TO ALIGN WITH THE USE CHART.
SO MOVED IT UP AND THEN AGAIN, KITCHEN AND KITCHENETTE WAS ADDED TO ALIGN WITH THE USE CHART AND AIRPORT DEFINITIONS.
UM, THERE WAS AN ERROR, IT WAS NOT REFERENCING BACK, THE APPROACH SURFACED WAS NOT REFERENCING BACK TO CHAPTER 14 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, WHICH IS THE AIRPORT'S JURISDICTION TO OVERSEE.
SO ADDED THAT REFERENCE BACK IN.
YOU GUYS HAVE PROVIDED YOUR COMMENTARY, BUT AVAILABLE FOR MORE.
I'VE GOT ONE ABOUT THE PROXIMITY TO TRANSIT STATIONS IN ARTICLE FIVE OR SECTION FIVE.
UH, SHOULD BE ONE MORE, TWO MORE BACK.
SO THIS ONE TALKS ABOUT, UM, ADDING THE CRITERIA IN REMOVING THE BUFFER ZONE.
UH, TO ME IT IMPLIES THAT IF YOU MEET THE CRITERIA, THERE'S NO DISCREET BUFFER ZONE.
UM, HOWEVER, I THINK ADDING THE CRITERIA WITHOUT MAYBE LIKE A MINIMUM BUFFER ZONE THAT WOULD JUST ALLOW IT BY RIGHT? UM, CREATES COMPLEXITY FOR BUSINESS OWNERS.
IT MAKES IT HARDER TO DO THESE THINGS.
UM, A BUSINESS OWNER MAY JUST DECIDE NOT TO BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THESE OTHER DEVELOPMENT RULES BEFORE THEY CAN HAVE A PARKING RELIEF, EVEN IF EVEN THOUGH THEY MIGHT WANT IT.
UM, AND AS A, AS SOMEBODY WHO WALKS FOUR TENTHS OF A MILE FROM THE TRANSIT STATION TO MY APARTMENT, I PROMISE YOU I DON'T NEED A PARKING LOT IN BETWEEN THAT WALK.
SO COULD WE HAVE A COMPROMISE BY JUST HAVING THE BUFFER ZONE BE SET TO, IF I HAD MY DRUTHERS, I'D SET IT TO HALF A MILE, SET THE BUFFER ZONE TO HALF A MILE, HAVE IT BY RIGHT FOR THE PARKING REDUCTION, ANYTHING OUT THAT OUTSIDE THAT OR IN SOME SORT OF SPECIAL CASE CAN MEET THE CRITERIA AND MAINTAIN THAT PARKING REDUCTION.
I, I JUST THINK THAT MAKES IT SIMPLER FOR BUSINESSES CLOSER TO TRANSIT CENTERS AND GIVES THE ABILITY FOR MORE UNIQUE CASES TO BE MADE.
GU ANY OTHER FEEDBACK ON THAT? JADE? I WAS JUST WONDERING, CAN YOU REMIND US WHAT'S THE, WHAT'S THE PROCESS HERE, RIGHT? SO IF WE HAVE, UH, MORE COMMENTS, DOES IT, YOU HAVE TO TAKE THOSE COMMENTS BACK TO COUNCIL AND THEN IT COMES BACK TO, COMES BACK TO US, OR, OR HOW DOES THAT WORK? UM, SO Y'ALL ARE FREE TO PUT THE COMMENTARY ON THE RED LINE ON YOUR ONEDRIVE.
SO I'M ALSO GONNA TAKE WHATEVER COMMENTARY, UM, ALL COMMENTARY FROM TODAY, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT WHICH ONES TO INCORPORATE ESSENTIALLY.
UM, BUT THE NEXT STEP IS THE ADOPTION HEARING.
SO WE'LL COME BACK WITH A NEW PRESENTATION THAT SUMMARIZES CHANGES MADE BASED ON ALL FEEDBACK, AND THEN YOU WOULD VOTE ON IT AND YOU COULD VOTE WITH A CONDITION IF YOU DON'T WANT THAT CRITERIA INCLUDED OR THAT EDIT INCLUDED, OR
[00:55:01]
IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T GET INCLUDED THAT YOU AS A GROUP INSIST SHOULD BE.YEAH, I GUESS I WOULD HAVE TO SAY, UM, AND TYLER, YOU BROUGHT THIS UP ALREADY, SO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOOKAH AND CIGAR LOUNGE, LIKE IT DOESN'T SEEM, WHEN YOU GO THROUGH AND READ THE DEFINITION, THE DIFFERENCES A PIPE.
SO I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHY THAT CHANGE IS, IS BEING SUGGESTED.
UM, THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF NUISANCE COMPLAINTS ASSOCIATED WITH HOOKAH SPECIFICALLY.
UM, AND WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED NUISANCE COMPLAINTS PERTAINING TO EXISTING CIGAR LOUNGES.
AND SO THE ONLY DISTINCT CHARACTERISTIC BETWEEN THE TWO THAT WE ARE ABLE TO ADMINISTER IS THE PIPE.
I WAS GONNA ASK ON THAT SAME ISSUE, UM, WHAT OTHER DISCUSSION WAS THERE FROM THE COUNCIL ON THAT BECAUSE IT, WAS THERE A ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO FURTHER CODIFY, UM, WHAT THAT IS AND, AND, AND ITS USAGE.
LIKE WHAT IS THE ISSUE THAT THEY'RE STAYING LATE AND THAT SORT OF THING, AND WAS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT SAYING, OKAY, WELL THEY HAVE TO CLOSE THE DAY O'CLOCK.
YEAH, THEY, I MEAN THEY'RE SUBJECT TO THE LATE NIGHT HOURS, UM, RESTRICTION, BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE COMPLAINTS ARE HANDLED THROUGH A TYPICAL CODE COMPLIANCE PROCESS.
AND SO THIS IS THE DIRECTION WE RECEIVE TO ESSENTIALLY PLACE ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS THROUGH A DEVELOPMENT SCENARIO BY LIMITING WHERE IT CAN EXIST.
IT JUST SEEMS TO ME THAT AN OUTRIGHT PROHIBITION IS MORE PROBLEMATIC.
UM, UM, SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE ANOTHER LOOK OKAY AT THAT.
THAT'S THE BEST I CAN SAY RIGHT NOW.
AND THEN THEN THAT ALSO RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT THINGS LIKE, I FORGET WHAT IT'S CALLED, THE ONE ON BELT LINE RIGHT NEXT TO HAWAIIAN BROS.
IT'S MORE OF LIKE A DANCE CLUB TYPE THING.
IS THAT A HOOKAH LOUNGE OR IS THAT ITS OWN THING THAT'S HAPPENS TO HAVE HOOKAH AS LIKE A SECONDARY USE? UM, SO THAT'S GETTING A LITTLE TECHNICAL.
SO TECHNICALLY THAT HAS EXISTED SINCE I BELIEVE THE EARLY NINETIES.
I CAN'T GIVE YOU AN EXACT DATE OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
UM, SO WE DID NOT REGULATE THAT AT THE TIME.
UM, HOWEVER, AS IT EXISTS TODAY UNDER THE ADOPTION OF THE UDC, WHICH TOOK EFFECT SEPTEMBER 1ST, HOOKAH LOUNGES ARE NOT ALLOWED AS AN ACCESSORY USE.
THEY'RE ONLY ALLOWED AS A PRIMARY USE WITH VIA APPROVAL OF A SPECIAL USE PERMIT.
SO REGARDLESS IN THAT SCENARIO, UM, WE'D BE TALKING ABOUT A LEGAL, NON LEGAL NONCONFORMING SCENARIO.
UM, BUT OBVIOUSLY IF IT WERE TO COME IN AS A NEW ESTABLISHMENT, IT WOULD BE THEY SERVE FOOD, THEY DO SERVE FOOD, SO IT WOULD BE A RESTAURANT AND A HOOKAH LOUNGE.
YEAH, NO, I'M, I'M WITH, I'M WITH THE COMMISSION HERE.
SEEMS, SEEMS A LITTLE OVERWROUGHT IF WE CAN JUST FIND SOME COMPROMISES TO LIMIT HOURS USAGE, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I'D BE A LITTLE BIT MORE AMENABLE.
NOTED AND PROPOSE SOME ALTERNATIVES AND ADJUST ANY OTHER FEEDBACK? I JUST HAVE A COMMENT.
I SUBMITTED THREE FAIRLY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS TO LESLIE AND I SHOULD HAVE SUBMITTED THEM TO YOU.
JADE, DID YOU, WERE THEY FORWARDED TO YOU? YES, I DO HAVE AN ANSWER.
IT, I JUST WANT THEM TO BE TO, TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE ON THE RECORD.
UH, ARTICLE 4.34 C2 BACKYARD CHICKENS, ARTICLE FIVE REGARDING AN ISA, UH, CERTIFIED ARBORIST.
AND THEN ARTICLE SEVEN UNDER DEFINITIONS, THE LACK OF A DEFINITION FOR LIMITED MEDICAL WASTE.
I ANTICIPATE THAT I WILL RECEIVE SOME ANSWERS RELATED TO THOSE.
AT THIS TIME, CI, I CAN DO THIS.
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.
THIS IS NOT IN REFERENCE, THIS IS JUST WITH REGARDS TO OUR WORK SESSION AND NOT THE ITEMS THAT ARE COMING LATER TONIGHT.
SO WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO SPEAK, ANYONE ONLINE TO SPEAK? NO.
HAVING HEARD NONE, I WILL CLOSE THE WORK SESSION AT 6:02 PM DO YOU GUYS NEED A BREAK OR ARE YOU READY TO GO DIRECTLY INTO WHAT I COULD USE A COUPLE? OKAY, LET'S RE LITERALLY TWO.
[01:00:01]
OKAY, WE'LL READ ADJOURN.IT'S TUESDAY, AUGUST 18TH, 2026.

Case 1960-Z/Rosewood PD.]
ITEM.HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING PRESENT AND DISCUSS AND CONSIDER ACTION ON A REQUEST TO REZONE A 6.18 ACRE, APPROXIMATELY, GENERALLY SITUATED NORTH OF BELTLINE ROAD SOUTH OF ARAPAHOE ROAD AND APPROXIMATELY 350 FEET EAST OF MIDWAY AND BELTLINE ROAD INTERSECTION ADDRESSED AS 43 25 AND 45 59 BELTLINE ROAD FROM

LESLIE
UM, AS NOTED IN PRESENTING A REZONING REQUEST REQUEST FOR A NEW PLAN DEVELOPMENT FOR, UM, TWO EXISTING PROPERTIES, UM, SITUATED BETWEEN BELTLINE AND ARAPAHOE ROAD.
UM, THE, UH, I'M GONNA SAY THE PRIMARY SUBJECT PROPERTY IS THE CURRENT, UM, MOTEL SIX LOCATION.
UM, AND THE SECONDARY PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY VACANT, UNDEVELOPED AND, UM, HAS, UM, FRONTAGE ON ARAPAHOE ROAD.
SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SITE, UM, HISTORY.
SO PRIOR TO 1979, BOTH SITES WERE ZONED INDUSTRIAL.
UM, AND THEN LATER BOTH WERE ACTUALLY REZONED, UM, TO A PLAN DEVELOPMENT, WHICH WAS THE ORDINANCE 5 49, WHICH ALLOWED FOR, UH, PRIMARILY THREE USES, HOTEL, RESTAURANT AND PARKING, A PARK PARKING STRUCTURE, PRIVATE PARKING STRUCTURE.
AND THEY ALSO HAD ASSOCIATED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, UM, THAT APPLIED TO BOTH THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES AS WELL AS SEVERAL PROPERTIES WITHIN THE IMMEDIATE AREA.
UM, THE, UM, OTHER PROPERTY, EXCUSE ME, WAS REZONED IN 1989 TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT, UM, OH EIGHT NINE DASH OH 15, WHICH ALLOWED FOR A MUCH GREATER EXPANSION, EXPANSION OF USES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.
THEY WERE PRIMARILY, UM, LOOKING AT OUR LOCAL RETAIL, WHICH IS CURRENTLY OUR COMMERCIAL LIMITED IN TERMS OF PERMITTED USES.
SO THINK, UM, RETAIL PERSONAL SERVICE TYPE USES WITHIN THAT PD TODAY.
UM, THIS REQUEST WOULD, UM, ELIMINATE BOTH OF THOSE, UM, PLAN DEVELOPMENTS AND REPLACE IT WITH A NEW PLAN DEVELOPMENT UTILIZING A BASE DISTRICT OF THE M THREE ZONING DISTRICT, UH, TO ALLOW FOR A MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT AND ASSOCIATED PRIVATE OPEN SPACE AND COMMON AREAS WITH ASSOCIATED DEVELOPMENT PLANS.
UM, BEFORE YOU IS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN.
UM, THE SITE, BOTH SITES TOGETHER, UH, EQUATE TO A LITTLE OVER SIX ACRES.
UM, THE PROPOSAL INCLUDES A FIVE STORY MULTIFAMILY STRUCTURE WITH 380 UNITS.
UM, THERE WOULD BE BOTH STRUCTURED AND SURFACE PARKING AND, UM, A VARIETY OF AMENITIES AND OPEN SPACE.
AS MENTIONED, WHICH I'LL GO INTO GREATER DETAIL LATER ON THE PRESENTATION, UM, THE APPLICANT WILL BE PRIMARILY UTILIZING THE M THREE ZONING DISTRICT WITH VERY, UM, FEW MODIFICATIONS TO THAT BASE DISTRICT.
UM, THEY WOULD ALSO FOLLOW THE USE STANDARDS WITHIN THE M THREE.
SO AS AN EXAMPLE, IF THERE IS A USE WITHIN M THREE THAT'S, UM, ALLOWED BY SPECIAL USE PERMIT, IT WOULD ALSO REQUIRE A SPECIAL USE PERMIT IN, IN THIS, UM, PLAN DEVELOPMENT.
UM, ONE OF TWO PRIMARY MODIFICATIONS TO THE M THREE DISTRICT, WHICH STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF IS THE MODIFICATION TO THE BUILD TWO RANGE.
THE M THREE DISTRICT DOES ENCOURAGE BUILDINGS AT THE FRONT OF, UM, THE WHATEVER DRIVE THEY ARE, PUBLIC STREET.
HOWEVER, GIVEN THE ACCESS, UM, AND THE CHALLENGE RELATED TO THAT, UM, STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF A GREATER BUILD TWO RANGE FOR A PORTION OF THE FRONT BUILDING ALONG BELTLINE TO ALLOW THE ACCESS ROAD.
UM, WHY THIS WAS NECESSARY WAS TO ENSURE APPROPRIATE DRIVEWAY SPACING, UM, TO ADJACENT DRIVEWAYS.
SO, UM, THAT IS, UM, THE PURPOSE BEHIND THAT DEVIATION.
UH, THE PROPOSAL INCLUDES 578 PARKING SPACES ON SITE 520 WOULD BE IN THE STRUCTURED GARAGE WITH 58 SURFACE SPACES, UM, THROUGHOUT INCLUDING, UM, STREET PARKING.
UM, THIS DOES EXCEED THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT AS OUTLINED WITHIN THE UDC OF 540 54 SPACES.
UM, THE UDC DOES ESTABLISH A PARKING RATIO ON A PER UM, BEDROOM BASIS.
UM, AS A REMINDER, THIS RATIO WOULD EQUATE TO, UH, 1.52 PARKING SPACES PER UNIT AS PROPOSED.
UH, THEY ARE ALSO PROPOSING 24 EV CAPABLE CHARGING SPACES AND NI A MINIMUM OF 91 BICYCLE PARKING SPACES,
[01:10:01]
UH, WHICH ARE PROPOSED TO BE PROVIDED IN AN INTERIOR STORAGE ROOM, UM, WITHIN THE PARKING GARAGE.A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE UNIT MIX.
SO WITHIN THAT 380 UNITS, THERE WOULD INCLUDE 37 STUDIO UNITS, 245, 1 BEDROOM, 93 2 BEDROOM, AND FIVE THREE BEDROOM UNITS.
THE AVERAGE, UM, UNIT SIZE WOULD BE 880 SQUARE FEET.
THE APPLICANT HAS COMMITTED TO, UH, COMPLYING WITH THE NATIONAL GREEN BUILDING STANDARD CERTIFICATION.
AND AS MENTIONED, THEY WILL ALSO BE PROVIDING, UM, EV UM, CAPABLE SPACES FOR THE OPEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPING.
UM, THE GROSS SITE AREA PROPOSED TO BE PROVIDED FOR OPEN SPACE OR LANDSCAPED AREA IS 36%.
THAT IS EXCLUSIVE OF, UM, OR EXCLUDING THE, UH, INTERIOR COURTYARD, WHICH IS PROPOSED TO HAVE, UM, PRIVATE AMENITIES WITHIN IT.
THE APPLICANT IS ALSO REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN.
THAT DOES INCLUDE ENHANCED SIDEWALKS AND PEDESTRIAN AMENITIES ALONG BELTLINE ROAD.
THAT WOULD INCLUDE AN EIGHT FOOT WIDE SIDEWALK AS WELL AS A, UM, LANDSCAPE BUFFER.
SO REMOVING THE, UH, THE SIDEWALK FROM THE BACK OF CURB AS IT CURRENTLY EXISTS TODAY.
UM, ANOTHER DEVIATION FROM THE M THREE DISTRICT THAT IS PROPOSED IS TO SEEKING RELIEF FROM THE PUBLIC STREET LANDSCAPE BUFFER REQUIREMENT, SPECIFICALLY ALONG ARAPAHOE ROAD WHERE ARAPAHOE IS ELEVATED, UM, DUE TO THE, UM, BRIDGE THAT EXISTS.
SO IT'S VERY CLEAR IN THIS PHOTO, UM, WHERE YOU SEE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PHOTO AND THE PROPERTY, UM, THEY'RE PROPOSING A NO LANDSCAPE BUFFER OR VERY MINIMAL LANDSCAPE BUFFER.
UM, WHAT WOULD BE ON THE WEST SIDE BEHIND THE MULTIFAMILY.
AND AS YOU MOVE TOWARDS THE EAST, YOU SEE THAT LANDSCAPE BUFFER, UM, COME INTO EFFECT AS THE ARAPAHOE ROAD GETS CLOSER TO GRADE WITH THIS PROPERTY.
I WILL NOTE THAT AT NO POINT WITHIN THIS PROPERTY IS ARAPAHOE REALLY AT GRADE WITH THE PROPERTY.
THERE'S ALWAYS SOME LEVEL OF ELEVATION, UM, BUT IT DOES GET MUCH MORE, UM, EXTREME AS YOU MOVE TOWARDS THE WEST.
AND, UH, THE VEHICLES BEGIN TO GO UP ON THE ELEVATED BRIDGE.
OTHER AMENITIES, UM, PROPOSED WITH THE, WITH THIS REQUEST INCLUDE A, UH, SIGNIFICANT, QUITE LARGE PRIVATE DOG PARK.
UH, THERE WOULD BE A SMALL COMMUNITY GATHERING SPACE, UM, OUTDOORS, UH, ADJACENT TO THAT DOG PARK AT THE ENTRY.
THEY'RE ALSO PROPOSING THE INTERIOR COURTYARD WITH OUTDOOR AMENITIES SUCH AS A POOL AND OUTDOOR KITCHEN.
AND, UH, OTHER AMENITIES FOR THE MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENCE WOULD INCLUDE A FITNESS CENTER, A COWORKING SPACE, A CLUB ROOM, TENANT LOUNGE, AND GAME ROOM.
UM, AS FAR AS THE BUILDING FACADES ARE CONCERNED, UH, THIS WOULD BE A FIVE STORY, UH, WRAP BUILDING WITH A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 70 UH FEET.
THE MATERIALS PROPOSED INCLUDE, UM, BRICK AND FIBER CEMENT PANEL, DEPENDING UPON THE FACADE.
UM, THERE THE MASONRY COVERAGE RANGES FROM 68 TO 92% PER FACADE.
UM, THERE IS BOTH VERTICAL AS WELL AS HORIZONTAL ARTICULATION THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING WITH, UM, BALCONIES, BOTH RECESSED AND PROTRUDING BALCONIES, AS WELL AS, UM, A VARIATION ON THE, UM, TOP OF THE BUILDING ON THE PARAPET.
HERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL FACADES SHOWING THE OTHER EXPANSIVE OF THE BUILDING.
UM, I WILL NOTE THAT THERE, UM, AT THE L-SHAPED BUILDING ON THE NORTH HAND SIDE, THAT DOES PROVIDE AN OPENING FOR A PASS THROUGH, BOTH FOR EMERGENCY AS WELL AS PASSENGER VEHICLES.
UM, MOVING ON TO, UM, VARIOUS DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS.
SO, UM, THERE WAS AN ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE THAT, UH, UTILITIES OR WATER AND SEWER SERVICE, UM, ARE ADEQUATE QUIT AND AVAILABLE TO SERVE THE SITE.
UM, A TIA WAS CON ALSO CONDUCTED BY THE APPLICANT, UH, AND STAFF REVIEWED THAT, UH, AND DID NOT RECOMMEND ANY OFFSITE IMPROVEMENTS.
THERE'S ALSO NO ANTICIPATED, UM, SERVICE, UH, ISSUES OR CONCERNS RELATED TO, UM, THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT.
UM, I DO WANNA SPEND A LITTLE BIT OF TIME ON TREE MITIGATION AS, UM, IT'S FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT.
UH, SO ON THE TREE TODAY, IT IS A, UM, AT LEAST A, A MAJORITY OF IT IS A FULLY DEVELOPED SITE THAT WAS DEVELOPED, UM, MANY DECADES AGO.
UM, THAT MOTEL SIX IS ALMOST 50 YEARS OLD.
AND SO WITH THAT, THERE ARE A LOT OF MATURE TREES, UM, THAT MAKE REDEVELOPMENT CHALLENGING.
THEY ARE PROPOSING TO, UH, PRESERVE AND PLACE 108 CALIBER INCHES.
HOWEVER, THEY ARE PROPOSING TO REMOVE 591 CALIBER INCHES.
UM, THEY WOULD BE MITIGATING VIA 360 CALIBER INCHES ON SITE AND THE REMAINDER TO BE PAID IN FEE IN LIEU OF, UM, I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IN THIS TABLE HERE, THERE ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF TREES AS DEFINED WITHIN THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE.
[01:15:01]
UM, WHICH IS DEPENDENT UPON THE CALIPER INCH, UM, SIZE WARRANTS A DIFFERENT MITIGATION RATIO.UM, YOU'LL SEE, UH, THE MAJORITY OF THEM ARE IDENTIFIED AS PROTECTED TREES, WHICH IS A ONE-TO-ONE.
UM, AND THERE ARE SEVERAL 14 SIGNIFICANT TREES AND ONE HERITAGE TREE PROPOSED TO BE REMOVED.
SO IN TOTAL, THE MITIGATION REQUIRED EITHER TO BE MITIGATED ON SITE, UM, WITH THE REMAINDER PAID FEE IN LIEU OF IS 784 CALIBER INCHES.
SO, UM, LOOKING AT THE PROPOSED REMOVAL OF THE HERITAGE TREE, UM, THIS DOES REQUIRE APPROVAL OF CITY COUNCIL FOR, FOR REMOVAL.
UM, IT IS 1 36 CALIBER INCH ELM TREE.
IT IS GENERALLY SITUATED AT THE SOUTH, UH, EAST CORNER OF THE MOTEL SIX SITE.
UM, NOT TOO FAR OFF OF BELTLINE.
UM, IT WAS IDENTIFIED AS IN DECLINE, AND STAFF DID IDENTIFY IT AS, UM, A POTENTIAL CONCERN.
WE DID ASK THE APPLICANT TO, UM, COMMISSION A CERTIFIED ARBORIST TO GO AND COMPLETE A TREE EVALUATION, UM, TO DETERMINE, UH, REALLY IF THE TREE COULD BE SAVED.
UM, THERE WAS OBVIOUSLY MANY CONCERNS, UM, JUST VISUALLY THAT EVALUATION DETERMINED THAT THE TREE IS AN IMMINENT SAFETY RISK, BOTH FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY BUT ALSO THE ADJACENT PROPERTY.
UM, THIS IS NOT FAR FROM THE SIDEWALK AS WELL ALONG BELTLINE.
UM, SO IT COULD ALSO POSE A RISK TO THIS, TO THE, THE PUBLIC AS WELL.
UM, THERE ARE BOTH, IT CONCERNS WITH THE STRUCTURAL, BUT ALSO JUST THE OVERALL TREE HEALTH.
UM, THE ARBORIST REPORT DID NOT, UM, IT RECOMMENDED, UH, IMMEDIATE REMOVAL AND DID NOT, UM, SUGGEST ANY SORT OF INTERVENTION WHICH IT COULD BE PRESERVED.
UM, STAFF DID REVIEW BOTH ONSITE AS WELL AS THE REPORT AND, UH, AGREE WITH THE FINDINGS.
THERE IS, I'LL NOTE THAT THIS, THE APPLICANT WOULD STILL BE REQUIRED TO MITIGATE, UH, WHICH IS A ONE TO TWO RATIO EQUIVALENT TO 72 CALIBER INCHES IF, IF APPROVED.
AND THEN MOVING ON TO PARK DEDICATION AND PARKLAND DEDICATION AND DEVELOPMENT FEES.
SO PER THE ADOPTED, UM, PARK IMPACT FEE ORDINANCE, UH, THE DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY, UM, OR EXCUSE ME, TO DEDICATE PARKLAND OR PROVIDE FEE IN LIEU OF DEDICATION AND PAY PARK DEVELOPMENT FEES.
UM, THE APPLICANT IS, UM, SEEKING A 50% CREDIT OF THE REQUIRED FEE IN LIEU OF, UM, PARK LANE DEDICATION FOR THE PROPOSED PRIVATE IMPROVEMENTS.
THE DOG PARK SPECIFICALLY AS ALLOWED WITHIN SECTION 6.47 E FOUR A, WHICH IS IDENTIFIES CREDITS FOR PRIVATE PARKS AND OPEN SPACE, UH, WHICH IS THIS, UH, EXCERPT HERE.
UH, IT SAYS A CREDIT OF UP TO 50% OF THE TOTAL PARKLAND DEDICATION FEES ASSESSED BY THE SECTION MAY BE PROVIDED, UH, IN CONSIDERATION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF PRIVATE PARK FACILITIES IN CONFORMANCE WITH THIS SECTION, UH, THE REMAINING PARKLAND DEDICATION FEES WILL BE DEPOSITED INTO, UM, THE TOWN'S FUND TO DEFRAY THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF PRIVATE SUBDIVISION IMPOSED ON TOWN PUBLIC PARK SYSTEM.
SO, UM, AND SHOWN ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN ON THE FAR RIGHT, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO, UM, INSTALL A, UM, PRETTY SIGNIFICANT, UH, DOG PARK AMENITY THAT WOULD BE PRIVATE.
IT WOULD BE FOR RESIDENTS ONLY, AND IT WOULD BE PRIVATELY OWNED AS WELL AS PRIVATELY MAINTAINED BY, UM, THE, UM, PROPERTY MANAGER.
SO LOOKING AT WHAT THAT, UM, PROPOSAL DOES TO THE FEES, SO BEFORE ANY SORT OF, UH, DISCOUNTS OR CREDITS, UM, THE TOTAL FEE WOULD BE JUST OVER $3 MILLION.
UM, AS, UM, AT THE MAXIMUM FEE RATE, UH, WITH THE, UM, PROPOSED 30% REDUCTION, UM, AND THE 50% CREDIT SPECIFIC ONLY TO THE PARKLAND DEDICATION, THE TOTAL FEE TO BE PAID TO THE TOWN WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY JUST SHY OF $1.4 MILLION.
UM, THAT WOULD INCLUDE, UM, A 50% REDUCTION TO THE PARKLAND DEDICATION RESULTING IN APPROXIMATELY $713,000, AND THEN A PARK DEVELOPMENT FEE OF $678,000.
SO THE ONLY, UM, BODY THAT CAN WAIVE THESE FEES IS CITY COUNCIL, UM, UPON RECOMMENDATION BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
SO THAT WILL, UM, NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECOMMENDATION IN SOME FORM.
UM, STAFF DID EVALUATE, UM, THE ADDISON AIRPORT NOISE CONTOUR AS IT IS, UM, WITHIN THE GENERAL VIC VICINITY, AND DETERMINED THAT IT IS NOT WITHIN THE, UM, APPLICABLE NOISE CONTOUR AS THE FAA DOES NOT ALLOW RESIDENTIAL UNITS WITHIN THE 65 DECIBEL NOISE
[01:20:01]
CONTOUR LINE.UH, MOVING ON TO COMPLIANCE WITH, UH, LONG RANGE, UH, PLANS FOR THE TOWN.
UM, FIRST BEING THE ADVANCED ADDISON 2050 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, UH, THIS SITE IS IDENTIFIED AS URBAN VILLAGE.
UM, THIS IS REALLY INTENDED TO, UH, PRIORITIZE PEDESTRIANS, UM, OFFER MORE DENSE OPPORTUNITY FOR MORE DENSE DEVELOPMENTS AND, UM, OFFER REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
SO THIS PROPOSAL DOES INTRODUCE A MUCH MORE WALKABLE, UM, PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED AND DENSE DEVELOPMENT THAN WHAT IT CURRENTLY EXISTS THERE.
IN ADDITION TO THE SPECTRUM OF CHANGE, IT IS IDENTIFIED AS A DEVELOPED REDEVELOP.
UM, PROPERTIES WITH THIS DESIGNATION DO, UM, INTEND TO GO UNDERGO SIGNIFICANT, UH, REDEVELOPMENT OR, UM, NEW DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS, WHICH IS ALSO IN LINE.
MOVING ON TO THE 2017 HOUSING POLICY, THERE ARE FIVE CRITERIA, UM, WHICH ARE ADOPTED TO INFLUENCE THE, OUR, UH, HOUSING WITHIN ADDISON.
IN REVIEWING THAT, UM, THE PROPOSAL DOES NOT MEET SEVERAL OF THEIR CRITERIA, INCLUDING THAT IT DOES NOT INCREASE THE PROPORTIONATE SHARE OF FEE SIMPLE OWNERSHIP IN ADDISON.
IT ALSO DOES NOT PROVIDE, UM, SENIOR HOUSING, UM, OR INDEPENDENT OR ASSISTED LIVING AS IDENTIFIED IN ITEMS ONE AND FOUR OF THE HOUSING POLICY.
LOOKING AT THE OTHER, UM, ITEMS WITHIN THE HOUSING POLICY, UM, THIS PROPOSAL DOES SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE THE WALKABILITY AND CONNECTIVITY OF THE AREA, BOTH BY PROVIDING ENHANCED SIDEWALKS ALONG BELTLINE.
IT ALSO PROVIDES A NESTED LOOP WITHIN THE BROADER TRAIL SYSTEM, UH, WHICH WILL EXIST WITH THE MIDWAY ROAD, UM, TRAIL THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN CONSTRUCTED, BUT ALSO WITH THE COTTON BELT TRAIL TO THE NORTH.
UH, THIS PROPOSAL WILL PROVIDE DIRECT CONNECTIVITY INTO THE COTTON BELT TRAIL, UM, AND WITH THE LAST CRITERIA, UM, P THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, CITY COUNCIL, UM, MAY DEEM PROJECTS EXCEPTIONAL, UM, AND WARRANT, UM, APPROVAL.
AND SO THERE COULD BE SOME ELEMENTS OF THIS PROJECT TO BE EVALUATED TO DEEM, UM, THEM EXCEPTIONAL.
UM, SOME MAY INCLUDE THAT THE PROJECT DOES OFFER A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT PRIVATELY OWNED AND, AND MAINTAINED OPEN SPACE WITH THE DOG PARK.
UM, IT DOES, IT IS CONSTRUCTED WITH AN URBAN CHARACTER AND PROVIDES OPPORTUNITY FOR CONNECTIVITY, INCLUDING TO THE COTTON BELT TRAIL, UM, AND DOES REPLACE A CURRENTLY UNDERUTILIZED DEVELOPMENT THAT EXISTS TODAY IN MOTEL SIX.
LOOKING AT THE ADDISON HOUSING MIX.
SO WITH THIS PROPOSAL, THE LAST ITEM, INCLUDING PROPOSED HOUSING MIX, THIS INCLUDES, UM, EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN EXISTING OR ENTITLED TO DATE WITH THE PROPOSAL, WHICH IS THE ADDITION OF 380, UM, MULTIFAMILY UNITS, RENTAL UNITS.
AND SO THAT DOES SLIGHTLY INCREASE THE RENTAL SPLIT BY APPROXIMATELY, UH, 0.4%.
AND THEN MOVING ON TO DENSITY COMPARISON.
SO THIS PROPOSAL IS, UH, JUST AROUND 66, UH, UNITS PER ACRE FROM A DENSITY PERSPECTIVE.
UM, AS DONE WITH SOME OF THE OTHER, UM, PROPOSALS DID IDENTIFY THAT, UH, THERE WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY THREE QUARTERS OF AN ACRE FOR THE DOG PARK, BUT ALSO APPROXIMATELY A QUARTER OF AN ACRE FOR THE PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE TRAIL.
UM, THAT CREATES THAT NESTED LOOP THROUGH THE CENTER OF THE SITE.
UH, WITH THIS REQUEST, STAFF DID PROVIDE A PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200 FEET OF THE SITE.
UM, AS OF THIS AFTERNOON AT ABOUT THREE O'CLOCK, WE RECEIVED ONE RESPONSE, UM, FROM ONE OF THOSE THAT WITHIN THAT NOTICE AREA, UM, IN FAVOR OF THE REQUEST.
AND, UM, I WOULD ALSO NOTE THAT WE'VE RECEIVED, UM, MANY RESPONSES VIA EMAIL.
MANY OF THEM COMING IN, UM, EVEN WHILE DURING THE WORK SESSION.
SO WE DON'T HAVE A FINAL COUNT.
UM, WE'LL TRY TO GET THAT, UM, SQUARED AWAY.
UM, AND THEN I ALSO WANT TO MENTION THAT THE APPLICANT DID HOST A COMMUNITY MEETING, UM, HERE IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS ON AUGUST 5TH AND TO SHARE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.
AND THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 50, UM, INDIVIDUALS IN ATTENDANCE FOR THAT OPEN HOUSE.
UM, STAFF REVIEW THE APPLICATION AND DETERMINED THAT IT MEETS ALL THE APPLICABLE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS OF THE M THREE DISTRICT.
UM, AS WITH THE REQUEST, INCLUDING THOSE IDENTIFIED WITHIN THE PERMITTED USE AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.
SO THAT PRIMARILY INCLUDES THE TWO DEVIATIONS OF THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER ALONG ARAPAHO AND, UM, THE BILL TO RANGE.
THERE ARE TWO ITEMS OF SPECIAL CONSIDERATION, WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT DURING THE PRESENTATION.
THAT INCLUDES THE REMOVAL OF ONE HERITAGE TREE, UM, AND THE PROPOSED REDUCTION OR WAIVER MODIFICATION TO THE PARK AND PARK
[01:25:01]
DEVELOPMENT FEE.UM, SO WHILE THIS PROPOSAL DOES NOT, UH, EXPLICITLY COMPLY WITH THE INTENT OF THE HOUSING POLICY, UM, IT DOES PROVIDE, EXCUSE ME, THAT WAS, THAT IS AN ERROR.
IT DOES NOT PROVIDE AN INCREASE TO THE FEE SIMPLE OWNERSHIP.
UM, THERE ARE ELEMENTS OF THE PROJECT THAT COULD BE DEEMED EXCEPTIONAL.
SO IF THE COMMISSION PROPOSES TO, UH, RECOMMEND APPROVAL STAFF RECOMMENDS INCLUDING, UM, THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS AS APPLICABLE OR SOME VARIATION OF THOSE TWO, ADDRESS THOSE TWO ITEMS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATION.
AND THE APPLICANT DOES HAVE A, A PRESENTATION BY HAVING TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW.
ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? I JUST HAVE THREE.
UM, FOR YOU, LESLIE, UH, THE UNIT CAP IN THE, UM, IN THE PD LANGUAGE, WE HAD A PLUS OR MINUS 5%.
CAN WE, COULD WE STRIKE THAT AND, AND ADHERE TO WHAT WE SAID, WHICH WAS A CAP OF THREE 80 AND SAY YOU CAN GO LOWER BUT NOT ABOVE.
UM, YOU COULD, UM, THAT IS A POSSIBILITY.
THE PLUS OR FIVE MINUS 5% ACTUALLY IS INHERENTLY INCLUDED IN THE, UH, UDC AS WELL.
UM, YOU SAID THEY WERE GONNA BUILD TWO AND, UH, NGBS STANDARD, BUT, UM, BRONZE, CORRECT? NOT SILVER.
IS THAT SAID GREEN? I CAN ASK THE APPLICANT THAT, I GUESS IF YOU DON'T WANT, YOU SAID GREEN.
UM, I DON'T BELIEVE THEY SPECIFIED.
AND THEN JUST QUICKLY, I, I, I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE, UM, THE NATURE OF THE CON CONNECT, THE, THE CONNECTIVITY TO THE COTTON BELT IN, FROM THE, THE SITE PLANTS AND STUFF.
COULD YOU JUST KIND OF POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION? YEAH, SO IT'S IN THE, UM, IT'S ON THE, OBVIOUSLY THE FAR NORTH SIDE.
YEAH, RIGHT IN THE CENTER THERE WHERE THE CURSOR IS.
SO THAT'S A WALKWAY IN STEPS OR SOMETHING.
YEAH, SO IT ACTUALLY CONNECTS KIND OF, IT LOOPS UNDER.
I, I JUST COULDN'T SEE THAT FROM THE PLACE.
AND THEN, YEAH, AND THEN THERE IS, SO ON, WHEN YOU MOVE TOWARDS THE EAST, UM, TOWARDS WHAT IS, UM, THE QUALITY SUITES, THERE IS A SIDEWALK ON ARAPAHOE, RIGHT.
SO YOU COULD ACTUALLY GO EITHER DIRECTION.
THIS MIGHT BE BETTER FOR THE APPLICANT, BUT THE SPACING OF THE TREES ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY AT THE BACK AT ARAPAHOE, UM, WHY
I BELIEVE THAT WAS UTILITY COMPLEX, COMPLEX UTILITY ISSUE.
YEAH, BUT I CAN GO, I CAN GO AND CONFIRM THAT.
I, I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE REASON.
ON THE LEFT, LESLIE, UM, TWO QUESTIONS.
ONE IS THE ALLOCATION ON THE PARK DEVELOPMENT FEE MM-HMM
THAT APPLIES TO THE 50% REDUCTION.
UH, IF YOU COULD WALK US THROUGH THAT AND THEN SECOND, UM, IF YOU COULD WALK US THROUGH THE TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY A LITTLE BIT.
UH, JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND.
UM, YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF INFORMATION HERE, BUT I'M NOT SURE I FULLY UNDERSTAND IT.
YEAH, SO DAVE, I HAD, UM, LESLIE PULL SOME INFORMATION FOR, FOR, TO, IN REGARDS TO THIS 50% QUESTION 'CAUSE IT SEEMED KIND JUMPED OFF THE PAGE TO ME.
AND JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME BACKGROUND, IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE SPECIFIC CONVERSATIONS WITH HERS, BUT IN GENERAL, BECAUSE OUR LAND VALUES ARE SUPER HIGH HERE, THAT THESE FEES ARE, ARE KIND OF EGREGIOUS COMPARED TO OTHER COMPETITORS OR OTHER MUNICIPALITIES AROUND US, OTHER PLACES IN THE STATE.
SO LESLIE DID PUT A SCHEDULE TOGETHER, UM, IF YOU FOUND THAT HELPFUL TO COMPARE TO LIKE WHAT OTHER GROUPS ARE PAYING FOR THAT, THAT FEE COMPARED TO, UM, WHAT WE'RE CHARGING COMPARED TO OTHERS.
SO THAT, THAT HOMEWORK HAS BEEN DONE AS WELL BEFORE LESLIE GETS TOTALLY DEEP INTO RESPONDING.
YEAH, AND, UH, WE DID CONFIRM THAT IT WAS, UH, WATER AND WASTEWATER CONNECTION FOR THE TREE SPACING, THAT'S WHY.
UM, SO WE'RE STARTING WITH THE PARK DEVELOPMENT FEES.
SO WITH THE REQUEST, THE 50% REDUCTION AS, AS WRITTEN WITHIN THE CODE, UM, WHICH IS THE FOUR A HERE ON THE SCREEN, THIS 50% REDUCTION IS ONLY APPLICABLE TO THE TOTAL PARKLAND DEDICATION FEES.
AND THERE ARE TECHNICALLY TWO FEES.
THERE IS THE PARKLAND DEDICATION OR FEE IN LIEU OF, UM, DEDICATION AND THEN THE PARK DEVELOPMENT FEE.
SO THE PROPOSED CREDIT, UM, OR REDUC 50% REDUCTION OR CREDIT, HOWEVER YOU WANNA REFER TO IT, IS ONLY APPLICABLE TO THE TOTAL PARKLAND DEDICATION FEE, WHICH THAT, UM, SANDS.
[01:30:01]
IS APPROXIMATELY $1.4 MILLION.SO IT WOULD ONLY BE 50% OF THAT $1.4 MILLION RESULTING IN, WHICH IS THE, THE CREDIT OF THE 712 $880,000, UM, FEE.
SO THE, THE OTHER PARK DEVELOPMENT FEE OF THAT'S APPROXIMATELY 680,000, THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID A HUNDRED PERCENT.
THE 50, THE, THE REDUCTION WITH USING THIS STANDARD THREE FOUR A, EXCUSE ME, DOES NOT APPLY TO THE PARK DEVELOPMENT FEE.
AND THE, THE JUSTIFICATION FOR ASK, WHICH THE APPLICANT DID PROVIDE, UH, THE FEE WAIVER REQUEST WITHIN THE, UM, WITHIN THE, THE PACKET.
HOWEVER, UM, HERE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, THIS IS THE, UM, PROPOSED INVESTMENT FROM THE APPLICANT FOR THE DOG PARK.
UH, YOU CAN SEE THE VARIOUS ITEMS, UH, THE PER THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE PRIVATE DOG PARK IS APPROXIMATELY $930,000.
UM, AND SO THEY ARE ASKING FOR THAT IS THE, THE JUSTIFICATION FOR ASKING FOR THE 50% REDUCTION, UM, EQUIVALENT TO 700, APPROXIMATELY 713,000.
UM, AND WITH THE IDEA THAT THIS DOG PARK WOULD REDUCE, UM, RESIDENTS USE OF PUBLIC DOG PARKS AND RELU REDUCE THE, THE BURDEN ON THE PUBLIC PARK SYSTEM, UM, WITH, WITH THE PRIVATE AMENITY.
UM, THEN ON THE TRAFFIC STUDY, IF YOU COULD WALK US THROUGH THAT.
AND I DON'T HAVE, I DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC SLIDE, UM, IN THE PACKET.
UM, IT HAS THE TRIP GENERATION, OR EXCUSE ME, IN THE STAFF REPORT HAS THIS TRIP GENERATION, SO THE PROPOSED TRIP GENERATION, UM, THE, THE TOP IS THE EXISTING LAND USES AND IT SAYS EXISTING LAND USES ON THERE, UM, THAT INCLUDES THE MOTEL, UM, EXISTING MOTEL SIX AS WELL AS THE VACANT LOT.
OBVIOUSLY THAT'S, IT'S VACANT TODAY.
SO THE PROPOSAL IS THAT IT WOULD, UM, OR THE ASSUMPTION IS THAT IT WOULD TODAY PRODUCE ZERO TRIPS.
UM, AND THERE WAS, UM, THEY DID DO TRAFFIC COUNTS.
SO THAT'S REPRESENTATIVE OF ACTUAL DATA, NOT BASED UPON, UM, PROPOSED GENERATION OF, OF A STANDARD USE.
UM, SO YOU CAN SEE THE STANDARD USE WOULD BE 429 TRIPS, BUT THEY OBSERVED 272.
UM, THAT'S THE DAILY TRIP ENDS ON A WEEKDAY.
AND THEN, SO LOOKING DOWN AT THE PROPOSED LAND USES, THIS IDENTIFIES THE PROPOSED MULTIFAMILY, UH, WHICH SHOWS, UH, 1,695, UH, DAILY TRIP INS AT THIS LOCATION WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT SCENARIO.
UM, SO IT WOULD BE A ALMOST THREE AND A HALF TO FOUR TIME INCREASE OF WHAT IS CURRENTLY, UM, IDENTIFIED AS THE TRIP GENERATION FOR THE HOTEL.
DID YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS? WELL, NO, I JUST, SO THE 1423, THE NET INCREASE THAT'S SPREAD OVER THE DAY, THAT'S NOT CONCENTRATED IN ANY PERIODS, IS THAT RIGHT? CORRECT.
YEAH, THAT WOULD BE A TOTAL, UM, TRIPS WITHIN A DAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR LESLIE? OKAY.
DOES THE ROSEWOOD TEAM WANNA COME MAKE YOUR PRESENTATION? YEAH, PULL UP THERE.
ALRIGHT, LET ME MAKE SURE THIS WORKS.
CAN Y'ALL HEAR ME OKAY? HI, THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
I'M WITH ROSEWOOD PROPERTY COMPANY.
UM, WE APPRECIATE Y'ALL ALLOWING US TO PRESENT THIS OPPORTUNITY TO REDEVELOP THE OLD MOTEL SIX SITE IN THE VACANT LAND IN THE BACK INTO A, UH, LUXURY MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTS.
UM, ALONG WITH ME IS DAVID GOLIS, HE'S MY ASSOCIATE.
HE'S GONNA DO SOME OF THE PRESENTATION AS WELL.
UM, SO LET ME, LET ME DIVE RIGHT INTO IT.
UM, I'VE BEEN AT ROSEWOOD FOR SIX YEARS.
PRIOR TO MY TIME AT ROSEWOOD, I WAS ACTUALLY AT AM RESIDENTIAL FOR SE, SEVERAL YEARS.
SO ACTUALLY HAD SOME INVOLVEMENT AM EMILY ADDISON, AS WELL AS THE ACQUISITION OF, UH, AM LEE TREEHOUSE.
[01:35:01]
AND BEEN INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY FOR A FEW YEARS AND, UM, KIND OF UNDERSTAND ITS REQUIREMENTS AND ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO THE TOWN.UM, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ROSEWOOD.
ROSEWOOD WAS FOUNDED IN THE 1970S.
UM, WE'RE PART OF THE CAROLINE ROSE HUNT FAMILY.
UM, WE'RE KNOWN FOR DEVELOPING THE CRESCENT AND THE ROSEWOOD HOTELS.
THE CRESCENT UPTOWN REALLY SPURRED ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF UPTOWN AND, AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU SEE TODAY.
UM, WE SOLD THE HOTELS IN 2011.
UM, THIS WAS JUST A STRATEGIC MORE, UH, GET MORE DIVERSE REAL ESTATE IN OUR PORTFOLIO, UM, FOR THE FAMILY.
UM, BUT WE HAVE, WE ARE INVOLVED IN MULTIFAMILY MASTER PLAN COMMUNITIES, TOWN HOME, LOT DEVELOPMENTS, INDUSTRIAL SELF STORAGE, UM, A LITTLE BIT OF RETAIL AND A LITTLE BIT OF OFFICE.
UM, OBVIOUSLY WE HAD A GREAT PRESENTATION BY STAFF ON WHERE, WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, SO I'LL BE BRIEF ON SOME OF THESE SLIDES, BUT THIS IS OBVIOUSLY RIGHT AT THE CORNER OF MIDWAY AND BELTLINE, JUST SOUTHWEST OF THE AIRPORT.
UM, THE, THE MOTEL SIX THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO REDEVELOP WAS BUILT IN 1979.
IT'S APPROACHING 50 YEARS OLD AND NEARING THE END OF ITS USEFUL LIFE.
UM, AND ADDISON'S 2013 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IDENTIFIED THE PROPERTY AS BEING IN NEED OF A SERIOUS REMODEL OR REDEVELOPMENT.
UM, CURRENT ZONING LIMITS, THE SITE TO HOTEL AND RESTAURANT USES, AND THE VA UH, VACANT LAND PARCEL IN THE BACK IS ORIGINALLY PART OF THE AS AND RESTAURANT PD.
UM, IT'S HAD MULTIPLE OWNERS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.
THERE WAS ONE PROPOSAL IN 2017 TO DEVELOP AS SELF STORAGE, WHICH WAS NOT PASSED.
UM, THE SIZE, THE VISIBILITY, THE ACCESS CONSTRAINTS JUST MAKES THE PARCEL REALLY UNLIKELY TO BE DEVELOPED ON ITS OWN.
UM, REALLY EVEN BACKING UP FROM THESE TWO SITES, WE HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW EACH ONE OF THESE NEIGHBORS AND ADJACENT LAND PARCELS.
UM, WE WOULD REALLY LOVE TO EXPAND UPON THIS.
UM, WE HAD MULTIPLE, UM, YOU KNOW, MEETINGS WITH DIFFERENT, UM, ADDISON, THE CONSTITUENTS, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THINGS OF THE LIKE.
UM, AND REALLY WE TRIED TO DO MORE THAN JUST THE MOTEL SIX.
AND THIS VACANT LAND PARCEL IS THE BEST WE COULD DO AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, COMBINED, IT MAKES IT ABOUT A 6.2 ACRE REDEVELOPMENT TRACK AND A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS OF NEW INVESTMENT.
UM, WE BELIEVE IT ALIGNS WITH THE AS IN 2050 VISION.
HERE'S SOME PICTURES OF MOTEL SIX.
IT'S PROBABLY, THESE ARE FAVORABLE PICTURES, I WOULD SAY, THAN THE EXISTING CONDITION.
UM, YOU KNOW, THE MOTEL TODAY, YOU KNOW, IT'S HAD 569 CALLS FOR POLICE FIRE AND EMS OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, WHICH IS ABOUT FIVE A WEEK.
UM, THE TRANSIENT NIGHT TO NIGHT LODGING KIND OF DRAWS IN A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF ACTIVITY THAN MULTIFAMILY OTHER USES DO.
UH, UNDERNEATH THE CURRENT ZONING, THIS USE IS LEGAL AND CAN CONTINUE HERE INDEFINITELY.
UM, OUTSIDE OF A MULTIFAMILY REDEVELOPMENT, THE EXISTING MOTEL IS THE HIGHEST VALUE OF THIS SITE.
UM, OUTSIDE OF A MULTIFAMILY OUTCOME, IT WILL PROBABLY REMAIN IN PLACE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
UM, THE REASON WE'RE HERE TODAY IS BECAUSE WE'RE, UH, TO BE CANDID, WE'RE OVERPAYING FOR THE LAND.
AND, UH, THE SELLER DECIDED TO GIVE US THE TIME TO COME HERE TO PRESENT A ZONING CASE.
UM, AND WITHOUT A SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME, HE IS BASICALLY DEDICATED TO SELL IT AS A MOTEL AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT GUY.
UM, SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO REPLACE IT WITH IS HIGH-END APARTMENTS WITH, YOU KNOW, RESIDENTIAL SCREENING, RESIDENT SCREENING, UM, FULL-TIME ONSITE PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT, TEAM CONTROLLED BUILDING AND GARAGE ACCESS SITE LIGHTING THROUGHOUT CAMERA COVERAGE THROUGHOUT.
UM, ROSEWOOD OWNS OUR PROPERTIES LONG TERM.
UM, WE SET HIGH STANDARDS FOR OUR PROPERTY MANAGERS TO MANAGE THE PROPERTY TOO.
UM, LET'S TALK ABOUT CRIME AND FISCAL IMPACT.
UM, THE SITE RIGHT NOW GENERATES ONLY $35,000 ANNUALLY IN TAX REVENUE TO THE TOWN.
UH, THE BURDEN ON IT, I GUARANTEE YOU, IS MORE THAN $35,000 A YEAR WITH 569 CALLS FOR SERVICE.
UM, THAT'S MORE THAN FOUR TIMES THE AVERAGE OF THE LAST THREE APARTMENT COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED.
UM, WITH OUR PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT, IT'S ABOUT A 20 TIMES INCREASE IN TAX REVENUE.
THE TOWN OF ADDISON, WHICH OBVIOUSLY MATERIALLY REDUCES THE PER CAPITA DEBT WITHIN ADDISON, BUT ALSO THE DEMAND ON POLICE, FIRE AND EMS RESOURCES.
ADDISON 2050 MULTIFAMILY IS THE MOST PRODUCTIVE LAND USE TYPE, PROVIDING MORE REVENUE PER ACRE IN EACH CALCULATION.
AND THE CHART ON THE RIGHT JUST KIND OF SHOWS YOU THE DIFFERENT, UM, PROPERTY VALUE SCENARIO.
AND THEN THE, UH, PICTURE ON, ON THE TOP RIGHT IS ACTUALLY THE HEAT MAP OF CRIME.
SO WE ARE TAKING THE MOST, PROBABLY THE MOST RED POINT
[01:40:01]
WITHIN ADDISON AND LOOKING TO REDEVELOP IT.UM, I WANTED, WANTED TO TOUCH ON POLICY ALIGNMENT WITH ADDISON 2050.
THE PLACE TYPE WITHIN ADDISON 2050 IS AN URBAN VILLAGE, UM, WHICH, YOU KNOW, ENCOURAGES WALKABLE, PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT BUILDINGS CLOSER TO THE STREET, MINIMIZED VISIBLE PARKING MEDIUM TO HIGH INTENSITY DEVELOPMENT.
UM, ALLOWING DENSE HOUSING IS ESSENTIAL FOR OFFERING ALTERNATIVES TO SINGLE FAMILY UNITS WITHIN THIS URBAN VILLAGE PLACE TYPE.
UM, AND THEN WITHIN THE SPECTRUM OF CHANGE, WE ARE IN THE DEVELOP REDEVELOP CORRIDOR.
UM, AND WITHIN 2050, THIS IS JUST A QUOTE, ADDISON MUST CONTINUE TO REPURPOSE AGING OFFICE, HOTEL AND OTHER COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES.
CORRIDORS LIKE BELTLINE ROAD ARE HIGHLIGHTED FOR REDEVELOPMENT TO UPHOLD ADDISON'S IMAGE AND MARKET POSITION.
AND JUST TO REITERATE, I DO NOT THINK THAT MOTEL SIX IS INDICATIVE OF THE REST OF ADDISON OR WHAT ADDISON, UM, REALLY WANTS TO BECOME.
UM, BUT THIS IS THE HIGHEST CHANGE CATEGORY IN ADVANCED AS IN 2050.
UH, IT'S INTENDED FOR SIGNIFICANT REDEVELOPMENT.
IT ENCOURAGES AN INCREASED INTENSITY OF DEVELOPMENT FROM WHAT'S THERE TODAY.
UM, AND IT'S REALLY FOCUSED ON TRANSFORM, TRANSFORMING, AGING COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES.
SO REALLY OUR PROPOSAL IS GROUNDED IN, IN ADVANCE S IN 2050, YOU KNOW, WHICH WAS PUT TOGETHER BY TOWN STAFF, ELECTED OFFICIALS FOR MANY YEARS.
I REMEMBER HEARING ABOUT THE WORK SESSIONS AND ALL THE THINGS THAT WENT INTO THIS AND, UM, WE'RE REALLY HERE TO TRY TO HELP DELIVER IN THAT, IN THAT VISION.
UM, AND WITH THAT, I'M GONNA HAND IT OFF TO DAVID TO TALK MORE SPECIFICALLY ABOUT OUR, OUR SITE PLAN, AND THEN I'LL BE BACK TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU GUYS HAVE.
THANK YOU DAVID GOLIS AGAIN WITH APPLICANT ROSEWOOD.
UH, JUST WANTED TO TALK MORE ABOUT THE PROPOSAL THAT WE'RE, UM, PRESENTING TO YOU TODAY FOR THE MULTIFAMILY COMMUNITY, UH, WE'RE PROPOSING A FIVE STORY MID-RISE BUILDING WITH HIDDEN STRUCTURED PARKING.
UM, SO THOSE WILL BE, UH, WRAPPED WITH UNITS ON THE EXTERIOR, SO THAT WON'T BE VISIBLE FROM STREET VIEW.
UH, WE ARE, UH, PROPOSING 380 HOMES, UH, AVERAGING 880 SQUARE FEET.
THAT'S ACROSS, UH, STUDIOS, ONE BEDROOMS, TWO BEDROOMS AND THREE BEDROOMS. I'LL NOTE THAT SOME OF OUR PEERS DO NOT HAVE ANY THREE BEDROOMS, SO, UM, WE'RE EXCITED TO INCLUDE THAT.
SOME OF THE HOMES ON THE GROUND FLOOR WILL ACTUALLY HAVE THIS ACCESSIBILITY TO THE EXTERIOR, WHICH ENCOURAGES WALKABILITY.
UH, WE'LL HAVE RESORT STYLE AMENITIES AS LISTED HERE, AND AS WE'LL GET INTO DETAIL LATER, AMPLE BIKE PARKING, WE'RE BUILDING TO NATIONAL GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS AND OFFERING EV CHARGING AND, UH, ALSO INCLUDING AN EXTERIOR THAT'S PREDOMINANTLY MASONRY AND BRICK.
ONE THING THAT, UH, FROM EARLY CONVERSATIONS WITH STAFF, UH, WE IDENTIFIED AS A PRIORITY HERE WAS, UM, THEIR DESIRE FOR OPEN SPACE AND CONNECTIVITY ON THE SITE.
AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'VE WORKED TOWARDS, UM, THROUGH ITERATIONS OF THIS SITE PLAN TO PROVIDE.
AS YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN HERE, WE WILL HAVE A NEW ENHANCED SIDEWALK ALONG BELTLINE ROAD, UH, LOOP TRAIL CONNECTION.
SO REALLY THE IDEA IS TO BE ABLE TO CONNECT NORTH, SOUTH AND EAST TO WEST TO ALLOW FOR FREE, FREE FLOWING WALKABILITY AND ULTIMATELY TO ALLOW, UH, MORE SPACE FOR FUTURE REDEVELOPMENT, UH, WITH NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES AS WELL.
WE'RE INVESTING $930,000 IN THE PRIVATE PARK AND OPEN SPACE AMENITIES, AND MORE THAN TRIPLING THE M THREE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT FOR LANDSCAPE AREA AT 36%.
SO WE HAVE PUBLIC FACING AND GREEN SPACE, PRIVATE DOG PARK GATHERING SPACES AND OTHER AMENITIES ALL IN THE NAME OF SUPPORTING THE WALKABILITY AND CONNECTIVITY GOALS OF ADDISON 2050.
JUST TO DELVE INTO ROSEWOOD, TIM HIT ON THE HISTORY OF OUR COMPANY WITH THE ROSEWOOD HOTELS AND REALLY THAT STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE.
UM, AND, AND THAT REPUTATION IS WHAT WE LOOK TO UPHOLD IN ALL OF OUR MULTIFAMILY COMMUNITIES AS WELL.
SO OUR SOLE FOCUS IS TO PROVIDE THE BEST POSSIBLE RESIDENT EXPERIENCE.
UM, AND GENERALLY WE'RE, AND WE ARE DEVELOPING THE BEST IN CLASS MULTIFAMILY COMMUNITIES, LUXURY UNIT AND INTERIORS AND AMENITY FINISHES.
UM, WE ARE BUILDING FOR THE LONG TERM.
WE GENERALLY LIKE TO HOLD OUR PROPERTIES LONG TERM.
UM, AND SO LOOKING BEHIND THE WALL AS WELL WITH WATERPROOFING DETAILS WITH SOUNDPROOFING, UM, THINGS THAT MAYBE ARE HIDDEN FROM SITE, BUT CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL TOUCH AND FEEL OF THE PROPERTY.
SO THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO US.
GETTING TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE PROPERTY.
WHAT YOU'D SEE FROM KIND OF THE CURB IS, UH, WE ARE DESIGNING WITH AN URBAN EDGE TO MEET THE M THREE STANDARDS WITH THAT BUILDING EDGE TOWARDS BELT LINE.
UM, WE'RE OFFERING, OFFERING A FACADE WITH PREDOMINANTLY MASONRY AND BRICK AT 68 TO 92%, UH, DEPENDING ON THE BUILDING SECTION.
AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, CREATING A, A BUILDING THAT UNDULATES AND KIND OF CREATES INTEREST FROM THE CURB FOR MORE CURB APPEAL.
[01:45:01]
PLANNING FOR MORE OF A LUXURY HOTEL-LIKE GRAND ENTRANCE THAT ESTABLISHED REALLY A SENSE OF ARRIVAL.AND I THINK BEAUTIFIES IT FROM BELTLINE.
JUST TO HIT ON A FEW OF OUR RECENT DFW PROJECTS, THE LUDLOW AND PLANO AT OUR HERITAGE CREEKSIDE.
UM, IT WAS DALLAS BUSINESS JOURNAL'S MULTIFAMILY PROJECT OF THE YEAR IN 2023.
AND THE BUCKLEY NEXT DOOR, UH, WAS ALSO A FINALIST FOR THE SAME AWARD.
WE'RE UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN FRISCO WITH THE PENROSE AT SOUTH STONE YARDS AND IN LAS COLINAS, UH, WITH THE GILMAN OFF OF ONE 14.
UM, AGAIN, WE'VE FOUND THAT OUR COMMUNITIES HAVE BEEN WELL RECEIVED BY SOME OF YOUR NEIGHBORING, UH, PEERS IN CITIES.
UH, ON THESE NEXT COUPLE SLIDES, I'LL TRY TO JUST LET THE PICTURES DO MOST OF THE TALKING HERE.
UH, I, I KNOW THAT MANY OF YOU MAY NOT SEE THE INTERIOR, BUT WANTED TO PAINT A PICTURE FOR YOU AS TO WHAT THAT RESIDENT EXPERIENCE LOOKS LIKE.
AND SO, UH, THESE ARE ALL, THESE PHOTOS ARE REAL PHOTOS FROM OUR COMMUNITIES AND THEY'RE REPRESENTATIVE OF WHAT WE WANT TO DELIVER AT THE BELT LINE AND MIDWAY DEVELOPMENT.
UM, SO THE LUXURY INTERIOR FINISHES, QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS, BACK SPLASHES, WOOD STYLE FLOORING, STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES, SMART HOME TECHNOLOGY, AND THEN, UH, BUILT-IN WORK FROM HOME SPACES.
WE HAVE BUILT-IN DESK AT THE MAJORITY OF OUR, UM, APARTMENT HOMES.
AMENITIES, UH, AS YOU COULD SEE HERE FROM A COUPLE OF OUR PROPERTIES, YOU KNOW, RESORT STYLE POOLS AND I THINK TRULY RESORT STYLE.
I KNOW THAT MAYBE GETS OVERUSED COWORKING SPACES AND PRIVATE OFFICES FOR OUR RESIDENTS TO GATHER IN, UH, CLUB ROOM AND RESIDENT LOUNGE FOR ENTERTAINMENT.
UM, WE TRY TO STAY AHEAD OF ALL THE, THE TRENDS AND WHAT RESIDENTS ARE MOST GONNA WANT, UH, FOR THEIR EXPERIENCES.
AND SO WE, WE REALLY INVEST HEAVILY ON OUR, OUR TIME AND, UM, OUR BUDGET ON THESE STATE OF ART FITNESS CENTERS.
SO OUR LAST COUPLE OF PROJECTS HAVE COLD PLUNGES AND SAUNAS AND THINGS THAT RESIDENTS ARE DEMANDING.
I THINK PROVIDE THE HIGH END FEEL, UH, PET FRIENDLY WITH DOG PARKS AND, AND DOG SPAS, WHICH IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT I THINK WITH THIS LOCATION.
AS WELL AS EV CHARGING AND BIKE STORAGE.
YOU COULD SEE THE FITNESS CENTER IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER, EXPANSIVE.
WE, UM, WELL EQUIPPED GOLF SIMULATOR IS A VERY POPULAR ONE IN, IN THE MIDDLE, UM, BOTTOM MIDDLE THERE.
AND THEN REALLY CREATING THESE HOTEL LOBBY LIKE, UM, ENTRANCES IN OUR LEASING CENTERS, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER HERE.
AND OBVIOUSLY WITH PROVIDING THAT TOP END, UH, BEST IN CLASS COMMUNITY, UH, WE DO HOLD OURSELVES TO HIGH STANDARD ON OUR RENT AND INCOME QUALIFICATIONS.
'CAUSE WE, I KNOW WE HIT ON HOW MANY UNITS OF EACH FLOOR, T FLOOR PLAN, BUT JUST GETTING INTO KIND OF THE TARGET RENTS AND THE MINIMUM MINIMUM QUALIFYING INCOME.
UM, ALL APPLICANTS MUST EARN AT LEAST THREE TIMES THEIR MONTHLY BASE RENT ANNUALIZED, UM, AND COMPLETE CREDIT CRIMINAL AND RENTAL HISTORY SCREENING.
SO YOU COULD SEE THE MINIMUM QUALIFYING INCOMES BASED ON THAT STANDARD ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, YOU KNOW, FOR THE STUDIOS 70,000 PLUS AND GETTING INTO, YOU KNOW, 120 TO 150 ON THE TWOS AND THREE BEDROOMS. UM, AND I'D SAY GENERALLY THE RENT TO INCOME RATIO AND DFWS KIND OF 22 TO 24%.
AND SO THIS WOULD REALLY BE, UM, HIGHER IF YOU WERE TO APPLY THAT STANDARD TO THE TARGET RENTS.
AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO NOTE TOO, THAT ROSEWOODS POLICY DOES NOT PERMIT UNITS TO BE LEASED AS SHORT TERM RENTALS.
I KNOW THAT SEVERAL NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES MAY BE DOING THAT, BUT UM, THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE ALLOW.
WE, YOU KNOW, HAD A GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.
WE WERE ABLE TO ANSWER A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND I THINK, UH, I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS WILL HAVE FURTHER COMMENTS AND, AND QUESTIONS AFTER THIS, BUT DID WANT TO GO AHEAD AND ADDRESS, YOU KNOW, SOME POTENTIAL CONCERNS THAT WE HEARD AND ALSO SOME NOTES FROM THE STAFF REPORT.
UM, BUT PARTICULARLY HERE IN REGARD TO THE EXCEPTION TO ADDISON'S FEE SIMPLE HOUSING POLICY.
AND WE CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THE GOAL, UH, AND OBJECTIVE TO INCREASE THE PERCENTAGE OF FOR SALE OR RENT OR OWNERSHIP, UH, HOUSING STOCK HERE VERSUS RENTAL.
UM, BUT UNDERSTANDING THAT THAT'S NOT THE ONLY GOAL OF THE TOWN OF ADDISON AND THAT THE POLICY DOES, YOU KNOW, ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE EXCEPTIONAL PROJECTS THAT DO NOT COMPLY AND THAT, UM, ENCOURAGES DEVELOPERS AND STAFF TO PURSUE PROJECTS THAT REPRESENT THE BEST AND HIGHEST USE OF EACH PROPERTY.
UM, AND I THINK STAFF'S REPORT, UH, DOES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, YOU KNOW, FEE SIMPLE OWNERSHIP IS UNLIKELY IN THIS LOCATION, UH, DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE ADJACENT LAND USES LIKE THE MOTELS, LIKE THE CAR DEALERSHIP, AS TO WHY FEE SIMPLE JUST ISN'T A FIT HERE.
AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY FURTHERED BY OUR OWN EXPERIENCE AS WE REACHED OUT TO SEVERAL OF OUR, YOU KNOW, MOST ACTIVE TOWN HOME BUILDERS IN DFW, UH, ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY AND DID NOT GET INTEREST, UM, AGAIN, FOR, FOR SIMILAR REASONS, CONFIRMING THAT GAP.
AND I THINK THE, THE PRICING ASSOCIATED WITH IT, WITH THE LAND VALUES HERE, UH, ARE GOING TO REQUIRE DESPITE THOSE INCOMPATIBLE SURROUNDING USES IN THIS LOCATION, UM,
[01:50:01]
WELL ABOVE MARKET FROM BOTH THE TOWN HOME AND A CONDO STANDPOINT.SO THERE'S LIMITED INTEREST AND, AND KIND OF INFEASIBLE ECONOMICS HERE.
FURTHER TO THAT THOUGH, STAFF DOES NOTE SOME POTENTIAL, UH, PUBLIC BENEFITS THAT MAY QUALIFY AS BEING DEEMED AN EXCEPTIONAL PROJECT, UH, STARTING WITH THE PRIVATE OPEN SPACE AND DOG PARK AND THE TRAIL CONNECTIVITY.
UH, AS WE STATED, WE'RE INVESTING $930,000 IN PRIVATE PARK AND OPEN SPACE AMENITIES AND ALSO A, A, A NESTLED LOOP ACCESS INTO THE COTTON BELT TRAIL TO THE NORTH, WHICH WE KNOW THAT ADDISON HAS INVESTED HEAVILY IN, UM, AND FOR GOOD REASON.
SO WE WANT TO AMPLIFY AND ENHANCE THAT EXPERIENCE THERE.
AND I WOULD ALSO NOTE THE SUBSTANTIAL DECREASE THAT'S ANTICIPATED, UM, IN THE DEMAND FOR POLICE FIRE AND EMS SERVICES, ALONG WITH A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN TAX REVENUE.
UH, THIS ALSO ALIGNS WITH THE GOALS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 20 ADVANCED ADDISON 2050, UH, WHERE STAFF FINDS THAT THE DESIGN AND, AND REALLY THE USE FOR URBAN VILLAGE, UM, ALIGNS WITH THE VISION FOR A MORE WALKABLE PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT PATTERN HERE.
AND, UH, UH, IN THIS CASE, ACTUALLY THE FEE SIMPLE DUE TO THE NEIGHBORING USES THE FEE SIMPLE PRODUCT HERE WOULD ACTUALLY BE THE STANDALONE KIND OF NON-INTEGRATED OUTCOME THAT THE H HOUSING POLICY WARNS AGAINST.
SO WE'RE FOCUSED ON THE DESIGN INTEGRATION AND WALKABILITY.
AND LASTLY, UM, AGAIN, THE POLICY USES THE LANGUAGE OF HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF EACH PROPERTY.
UM, I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE PROVIDING HERE.
SITE IS COMP PLAN DESIGNATED AS DEVELOP REDEVELOPMENT.
UM, IT'S BEEN NOTED TO NEED KIND OF THAT INCREASED USE INTENSITY.
AND SO WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS REPLACING A, A VACANT DENNY'S IN, YOU KNOW, 1970S MOTEL SIX WITH BEST IN CLASS LUXURY REDEVELOPMENT THAT SUPPORTS SURROUNDING RETAIL, UM, AND ENHANCES THE WALKABILITY AND CONNECTIVITY, UM, DESIRES OF THE COMP PLAN AND TRAFFIC STUDY HERE AS WELL AS NOTED DURING THE STAFF REPORT, UH, DID NOT SHOW A SIGNIFICANT BURDEN FROM THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROPERTY FOR OUR PROPOSED USE.
SO WE'RE FULFILLING THE OBJECTIVE.
AND I THINK IN SUMMARY, YOU KNOW, THE MARKET DATA, THE SITE CONDITIONS AND THE COMP PLAN ALL SUPPORT THIS PROPOSAL AS AN EXCEPTIONAL PROJECT UNDER THE HOUSING POLICY.
UH, SOME OTHER THINGS WE HEARD WERE, YOU KNOW, WHY MULTIFAMILY HERE AND WHY NOT SOME OTHER USE.
AND I THINK IT REALLY, IT BOILS DOWN TO THE TOP LEFT CORNER HERE UNDER HOTEL.
THE EXISTING MOTEL REMAINS VIABLE TODAY.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO ACQUIRE IT FOR MANY YEARS AND OUR VALUE ON THE LAND CAN NEVER EXCEED WHAT THE INPLACE VALUE WAS FOR THAT MOTEL.
AND SO THAT REPRESENTS THE HIGHEST MARKET VALUE OUTSIDE OF MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT.
UM, ABSENT, YOU KNOW, THIS OUTCOME, WE, WE DO ANTICIPATE THAT IT DOES GET OPERATED AS THE EXISTING USE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
UM, FOR SALE TOWN HOMES, KIND OF BACK TO WHAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT, SO I WON'T TOUCH ON IT TOO MUCH, BUT WE HAVE LIMITED INTEREST.
YOU KNOW, THE LAND VALUE WOULD BE A FRACTION OF THE PROPERTY'S EXISTING VALUE, SO IT'S NOT VIABLE.
AND EVEN IF WE DID HIGH DENSITY TOWN HOME DEVELOPMENT, WE WOULD ONLY, WE'D INCREASE BY LESS THAN 1%.
THE, UH, TOWN'S FEE, SIMPLE OWNERSHIP SHARE, SELF-STORAGE WAS TRIED HERE ONCE.
DENIED, DOESN'T, NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ADVANCED ADDISON 2050.
SENIOR HOUSING IS LARGELY ALREADY SERVED BY EXISTING COMMUNITIES NEARBY THIS MIDBLOCK AND ARTERIAL HEAVILY TRAFFICKED ROAD DOESN'T QUITE PROVIDE THAT QUIET SETTING THAT RESIDENTS SEEK.
UM, AND I'D SAY FROM A, YOU KNOW, AGE PERSPECTIVE, SENIOR DEVELOPERS ARE GOING TO WHERE THEIR ADULT CHI CHILDREN LIVE.
UM, WHERE WE'VE SEEN SOME NEW DEVELOPMENT JUST FOR ACCESSIBILITY GET BUILT WAS PREDOMINANTLY ON THE TOLLWAY.
AND FROM THAT, IN THIS CASE HERE, RETAIL, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE LIMITED BELTLINE FRONTAGE.
UH, IT'S REDUCES VISIBILITY, NOT QUITE SUITABLE FOR THAT.
AND FURTHER TO IT, I MEAN, WE'RE SURROUNDED BY OTHER RETAIL HERE, UM, RATHER THAN COMPETE IN WHAT'S ALREADY THE MOST COMPETITIVE RETAIL SUB-MARKETS, WE'D LIKE TO, YOU KNOW, UM, PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THOSE BUSINESSES.
AND THEN ON THE OFFICE SIDE, IT'S MID-BLOCK, IT LACKS ACCESS AND VISIBILITY, AND I'M SURE MANY OF YOU KNOW, JUST THE GENERAL PICTURE IN OFFICE OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS WHERE GROUND UP SPECULATIVE DEVELOPMENT AND THE FINANCING FOR IT IS JUST RARE TO NON-EXISTENT.
UH, STAFF ALREADY TOUCHED ON THE TRAFFIC IMPACT REPORT, BUT YOU KNOW, WANTED TO JUST REITERATE HERE.
UM, WE DID HAVE A TRAFFIC IMPACT REPORT DONE BY WESTWOOD, WHICH, WHICH, UH, SHOWED THAT GIVEN THE DAILY TRAFFIC ON BELTLINE AND MIDWAY 30,000 TO 40,000 TRIPS, THERE'S REALLY A NEGLIGIBLE AND INCREASE WITH NO MEANINGFUL IMPACT TO EITHER ROAD.
WE'RE NOT CHANGING THE PEAK HOUR SERVICE LEVEL.
UM, THERE'S NO MITIGATION RECOMMENDED AT THE INTERSECTIONS OR THE SITE DRIVEWAYS.
AND, YOU KNOW, GIVEN THESE HEAVY VOLUMES ALREADY, UH, THE PROJECT'S TRAFFIC SHOULD BE HARDLY NOTICED.
SO IN SUMMARY, JUST TO, UH, GIVE YOU GUYS THE FULL PICTURE HERE, UM, WE BELIEVE THAT WE'RE PROVIDING, UH, EXCEPTIONAL
[01:55:01]
COMMUNITY BENEFITS WITH THIS PROPOSAL VERSUS WHAT IS THERE TODAY.UM, AND THAT INCLUDES A HIGHER AND BETTER USE BY TRANSFORMING ONE OF ADDISON'S OLDEST MOTELS INTO A CLASS A PLUS MULTIFAMILY COMMUNITY.
UH, ROSEWOODS QUALITY AND OWNERSHIP, WE ARE LONG-TERM MINDED, UH, BUILD DURABLE PRODUCT, TOP OF MARKET, UM, AND GENERALLY AND HAVE STRONG ONSITE OPERATIONS TEAMS TO, UM, MANAGE THOSE PROPERTIES.
THIS IS A CATALYST FOR REDEVELOPMENT ACROSS THIS CORRIDOR.
UH, WE BELIEVE THAT BY REMOVING AND AGING PROPERTY, WE ACTUALLY LIFT SURROUNDING LAND VALUES, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS PROPOSED USE AND MAKE REDEVELOPMENT OF THIS ENTIRE CORRIDOR ACHIEVABLE ONE DAY.
WE TOUCHED ON THE CRIME STATISTICS.
UH, WE ARE REPLACING A PERSISTENT SOURCE OF LOCAL CRIME WITH A MANAGED RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY, UH, COMPATIBLE LOCATION.
WE ARE SURROUNDED BY COMMERCIAL USES HERE WE ARE BUFFERED FROM ANY SINGLE FAMILY BY BELTLINE AND BY MIDWAY WE THINK THIS IS THE MOST LOGICAL, UM, USE IN THIS LOCATION.
THERE'S SIGNIFICANT TAX REVENUE ASSOCIATED WITH IT, AS WE SAW FROM THE EXISTING PROPERTY TO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING A 20 X INCREASE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT.
YOU KNOW, WE ARE PROVIDING UPDATED SYSTEMS, GREEN DESIGN FEATURES IN PLACE OF A 1970S AGING MOTEL, THE JOBS HOUSING BALANCE.
I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE PLACES THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES ADDISON SO APPEALING, UM, FROM DEVELOPERS LIKE US IS THE, THE AMOUNT OF JOBS AND HOUSING NEARBY IS ONE OF THE CRITICAL COMPONENTS THAT THESE EMPLOYERS ARE LOOKING FOR WHEN THEY'RE CHOOSING WHERE TO LOCATE THEIR BUSINESSES.
AND SO HAVING MORE HOUSING NEAR MAJOR EMPLOYMENT CENTERS, NOT TO MENTION THE RETAIL AND, UH, ALL THESE TRANSPORTATION CORRIDORS, ESPECIALLY WITH RECENT INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS, UM, WE THINK IS GOING TO, UH, ELEVATE ADDISON FURTHER.
AND THEN THE SUPPORT FOR THE EXISTING RETAIL.
UH, WE ARE ADDING A STABLE BASE OF RESIDENTS WITH STEADY SPENDING POWER TO NEARBY TO, UM, THE RESTAURANTS AND SHOPS THAT WE BELIEVE MAKE ADDISON SO GREAT SO THAT THEY CAN NOT ONLY STAY IN BUSINESS BUT THRIVE LONG TERM.
AND JUST TO, TO SUM UP, UM, WHAT WE ARE LOOKING TO DO HERE, WE'D LIKE TO REZONE AND REPLACE THIS 1970S ERA MOTEL WITH ONE OF THE FINEST MULTIFAMILY COMMUNITIES IN ADDISON.
UM, BEST IN CLASS FINISHES, AMENITIES, PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT, AND WE'D LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO, UM, WORK FURTHER WITH THAT, WITH THE TOWN OF ADDISON.
AND IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, UM, WE'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE.
BUT WANTED TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION OF OUR PROPOSAL.
DO YOU GUYS WANNA COME UP TO THE PODIUM? UM, I THINK THEY'RE MOSTLY RELATED TO THE LAYOUT AND SUCH, BUT, UH, LET ME JUST GO THROUGH.
UM, GIVEN THE PROXIMITY OF THE, UH, PROPERTY TO THE ADDISON, UH, AIRPORT, UH, HAS YOUR TEAM CONSIDERED ANY OF THE EXISTING OPERATIONS OR NOISE MITIGATIONS BEYOND JUST THE, THE STAFF REPORT THAT WE'RE ALL RELYING ON FOR OUTSIDE THE 65? DID YOU CONSIDER THAT AT ALL OR DO YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS, UH, THAT YOU'VE ADDRESSED SPECIFICALLY IN THE, IN THE PROPOSAL? UM, A FEW THINGS.
THIS, THIS SITE'S ACTUALLY ALWAYS BEEN OUTSIDE THE, THE AIRPORT NOISE CONTOUR, AND I THINK THE CONTOURS MOVED, MOVED EVEN FURTHER BACK.
UM, BUT AT ROSEWOOD WE, WHAT WE DEVELOPED FROM A SOUND MITIGATION STANDPOINT IS WAY ABOVE THE BARE MINIMUM, BOTH FROM BETWEEN UNITS AND, UH, ANOTHER UNIT OR CORRIDOR.
BUT YEAH, WE'RE WAY ABOVE THE MINIMUM STANDARD, SO THERE'S NOT A CONCERN FROM A NOISE PERSPECTIVE.
SO YOU'RE COMFORTABLE, YOU'VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT, YOU'RE COMFORTABLE, YOU THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES? YES, SIR.
JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE, UM, UH, ON ONE OF YOUR SLIDES ON THE UH, A 0 0 1 SITE PLAN, THERE IS A REFERENCE TO A 300 SQUARE FOOT STUDIO.
IS THAT A MISTAKE? UM, AND CAN WE JUST MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S NOT REFLECTED? IT'S NOT THIS SLIDE.
IT'S YOUR, IT'S YOUR SITE PLAN SLIDE AND IT'S IN THE SLIDE COLUMN.
UM, IT'S IN ONE OF THESE SLIDES.
I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S IN YOUR PRESENTATION.
IT'S IN THE PACKET THAT WE GOT FROM YOUR SITE.
WELL, WE, WE COULDN'T FEASIBLY EVEN DO IT.
SO YEAH, WE, SO STUDIOS, LEMME GO AT THIS DIFFERENTLY.
STUDIOS SIX 50, COULD, COULD WE AGREE OR WOULD YOU AGREE AGREEABLE TO LANGUAGE THAT SAID THAT WE WOULD NOT GO BELOW, UH, 650 SQUARE FEET.
I THINK YOU GUYS ALREADY HAVE THAT COVERED IN YOUR UDC AS A MINIMUM.
UM, I BEL I I CAN, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO THAT ANYWAY, RIGHT? YEAH, WE WOULD, UH, IF YOU WANTED TO SAY THE LOWEST YOU GO 600, WE'RE FINE WITH THAT.
OKAY, THEN LET'S MOVE ON THAT, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS JUST THAT I WAS JUST SHOCKED TO SEE IT IN THE SIDE.
UM, YOU OFFERED TO DO A AN NGBS CERTIFICATION AT BRONZE? YES.
[02:00:02]
WHY, WHY WOULDN'T ADDISON WANT THE SAME AS YOUR LUDLOW PROPERTY AND HAVE A SILVER? I THINK WE'RE JUST TRYING TO DO A BASE MINIMUM GUARANTEED.WE, WE KNOW WE CAN ACHIEVE THE SILVER I THINK IS VERY ACHIEVABLE.
UM, WE WOULD'VE TO STUDY THAT FURTHER.
NOT A I I'M TRYING TO GET TO EXCEPTIONAL 'CAUSE THAT'S THE STANDARD I HAVE TO HAVE.
AND DON'T YOU THINK A SILVER WOULD BE CLOSER TO EXCEPTIONAL THAN BRONZES? SURE.
THAT'S, IF THAT'S OF IMPORTANCE TO YOU, WE CAN DO THAT.
UM, AND THEN, UH, THE PENROSE IN FRISCO, YOU VERY PROUDLY ANNOUNCED THAT YOU'RE ALMOST A HUNDRED PERCENT MASONRY.
AND HERE YOU'RE, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 68 TO 92, DEPENDING ON THE, I MEAN, I THINK A HUNDRED PERCENT IS THE TARGET.
UM, IS THAT, DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY, ANY POSSIBILITY OF, OF LOOKING AT THAT? IT'S ENTIRELY IN YOUR DISCRETION, OF COURSE.
UM, BUT I THINK THAT WOULD BE KIND OF AN EXCEPTIONAL THING TO, TO PUT IN AND, AND MAKE THIS A REALLY, AN EXCEPTIONAL PROPERTY.
YEAH, I THINK WE TRY TO PUT AS MUCH MASONRY AS WE POSSIBLY CAN ON THE BUILDING.
IN SOME AREAS IT'S REALLY NOT ALL THAT FEASIBLE FROM A, FROM A BUILDING FORM PERSPECTIVE, WHEN WE TRY TO UNDULATE THE BUILDING NOW, IF IT WAS JUST A BIG SQUARE, THAT WOULD BE A LOT EASIER, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE DOING WITHIN THE BUILDING.
SO, UM, I WOULD SAY THAT WE REALLY FOCUS ON THE MAIN DRIVE.
SO IN SOME, IN SOME FACADES, LIKE THIS ONE THAT YOU SEE RIGHT OFF THE BELT LINE, IT BA IT'S, I MEAN, THERE'S SOME, THERE'S SOME, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THERE'S NOT MASONRY, BUT THERE MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT HERE, LIKE IN THE BALCONY RECESSES, I'M JUST READING THE LANGUAGE AND I WAS LOOKING AT YOUR OTHER PROPERTIES AND I WAS LIKE, MAN, I'D LIKE THAT.
I, I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT THAT ONE IN FRISCO'S NOT A HUNDRED PERCENT MASONRY.
SO THEY TELLING ME THERE'S A LITTLE, A LITTLE BIT A LITTLE MARKETING GOING ON.
ALSO THE WAY THAT, UH, WHAT MATERIALS CLASSIFY AS MASONRY ARE DIFFERENT.
LIKE, SO FOR INSTANCE, IN PLANO THEY COUNT STUCCO AS MASONRY.
I, I'M JUST, I'M TRYING TO, I'M TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE'RE EXCEPTIONAL.
THAT'S ALL, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I NEED.
UM, OUR, UH, DEFINITION ALIGNS WITH YOUR DEFINITION OF WHAT A MASONRY IS.
UH, AND THEN THE LAST THING, UM, WOULD YOU BE COMFORTABLE IF WE JUST SAID THE CAP IS 380 UNITS FOR, FOR THE PROPERTY? WE HAD IT IN THE, IN THE PD AMENDMENT THERE WAS PLUS OR MINUS 5%.
YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT? YEAH, I MEAN, WE DON'T HAVE PLANS TO BUILD TOO MUCH ANYMORE.
UM, I DON'T, I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.
AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR INTEREST IN INVESTING IN ADDISON, A GREAT PRESENTATION.
YOU'VE DONE A LOT OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH, WHICH IS, UH, I THINK INDICATIVE OF THE CARE YOU HAVE FOR THE COMMUNITY AND I APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS.
UM, FIRST OF ALL, THE, THE ELEVATIONS ARE WONDERFUL.
UH, YOU'VE DONE A VERY GOOD JOB.
UM, LOOKING AT THE SITE PLAN, IT'S CALLED BOREDOM BOARD, UM, FENCING AROUND THE PROPERTY.
CAN YOU EXPOUND ON THAT? THAT JUST SOUNDS SO SUBPART TO WHAT YOU'RE DESIGNING HERE TO DO.
CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE YOU FOUND THAT THAT WOULD BE ON MY, MY GUESS IS THAT IT'S ALONG THESE EAST AND WEST NEIGHBORS.
I MEAN WE'RE CONNECTING VIA THE TRAIL IN THE BACK.
SO WE'VE GOT A BUILDING BASICALLY TO OUR LEFT.
WE GOT THE RETAIL TO OUR LEFT.
MY GUESS IS IT'S COVERING THAT UP.
AND THEN WE DO ALREADY HAVE A WOOD BOARD ON BOARD FENCE TO OUR EAST, SO WE'D LIKE TO JUST PLANT TREES AND BUSHES ALL ALONG THAT.
UM, I SUPPOSE THAT'S A REASONABLE APPROACH.
I JUST, THAT'S A MAINTENANCE THING AND FIVE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD IT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE THE ONE THAT'S THERE NOW.
SO IT WOULD BE NICE TO THINK THAT YOU COULD, UM, EVEN IF IT'S A SOLID OF SOME SORT, MAYBE IT'S A, UH, A DIFFERENT BOARD.
IT'S A, A MORE PERMANENT BOARD TO BE USED.
NO, I'VE JUST GOT A QUICK ONE.
UM, AND EVERYTHING, I LIKE A LOT OF WHAT I SEE.
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT EVERYONE SAYS, BUT I WAS THINKING KIND OF AS A LITTLE JOKE, COROLLARY TO ALAN'S TAKE ON THE NOISE CONTOURS, YOU COULD ALMOST BUILD A UNIT WITH FLOOR TO CEILING WINDOWS ON THE CORNER, THE BACK CORNER AND SELL IT FOR LIKE 6,000 A MONTH IN RENT.
AND SOME, SOME PLANE NERD WILL BUY IT.
I
[02:05:01]
YEAH.LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM THE CITIZENS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS? OKAY, THANK YOU ALL.
UM, I'M GONNA CHANGE THIS UP A LITTLE BIT TONIGHT.
AND CAN I HAVE THE CHIEF, I KNOW I SAW HIM IN HERE AND I HAD ASKED HIM TO COME SO I COULD ASK HIM SOME VERY DIRECT QUESTIONS.
UM, SO I'M GONNA FIRST START WITH HOW DO YOU RANK THIS PROPERTY IN ADDISON AS FAR AS A CRIME ISSUE FOR YOUR STAFF? THE CURRENT PROPERTY, FIRST OFF, CHRIS, FREE CHIEF OF POLICE.
UM, ROSEWOOD DID THEIR DUE DILIGENCE WITH THE DATA.
WHAT THEY, UM, PRESENTED IS RIGHT IN LINE WITH WHAT WE SEE.
IT IS A HIGH CALL FOR SERVICE AREA.
UM, AND THAT SPECIFIC PROPERTY COMPARED TO A SIMILAR MULTIFAMILY ACROSS THE STREET.
UH, THERE'S ABOUT 15 TIMES MORE SELF-INITIATED ACTIVITY AT THE MOTEL SIX PROPERTY THAN THERE IS AT THE, UH, MULTIFAMILY
I'M GONNA TAKE THAT ANOTHER STEP FURTHER, WHICH I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO HEAR IT BECAUSE YOU LIVE IT VERSUS A STAT ON A PIECE OF PAPER.
SO THAT, THAT'S WHY I THOUGHT THIS WAS IMPORTANT.
MAKE A COMPARISON TO THE KIND OF CRIMES THAT YOU'RE GETTING IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX VERSUS THE KIND OF CRIMES THAT YOU'RE HAVING TO DEAL WITH AT THIS PROJECT AS IT SITS AS THE MOTEL SIX.
SO, UM, THE CURRENT PROPERTY, MOTEL SIX, A LOT OF THE CALLS WE HAVE, THERE ARE, UM, SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY CALLS.
UH, YOU'LL HAVE MORE TRANSIENT NATURE CALLS.
TYPICALLY THE PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE, THEY'RE NOT THERE LONG TERM THAT THEY'RE OVERNIGHT.
SO THAT COMES, UM, NARCOTIC RELATED ACTIVITIES.
A LOT OF SELF-INITIATED ACTIVITY FROM OUR OFFICERS.
SO THAT'S THEM DRIVING THE, UH, PROPERTY, NOTICING SOMETHING, GETTING OUT, TALKING TO SOMEBODY, UM, RESPONDING TO SOMETHING THAT SOMEBODY HAS CALLED IN ON THAT.
AS OPPOSED TO TYPICAL MULTIFAMILY CALLS WHENEVER YOU'RE DEALING WITH A MULTIFAMILY PROPERTY, THOSE ARE, UM, USUALLY LONGER TERM ISSUES.
SO WE HAVE A LOT OF THEFT FRAUD, UM, CALLS THAT YOU WOULD SEE GENERALLY LIKE WITHIN, UH, NEIGHBORHOODS BECAUSE PEOPLE LIVE THERE.
THEY'RE THERE FOR LONGER TERM, THEY'RE NOT JUST THERE, UM, OVER NOER FOR A FEW NIGHTS.
SO THAT'S KIND OF THE, THE BREAKDOWN BETWEEN CALLS, UH, WHEN IT PERTAINS TO LIKE THIS SPECIFIC PROPERTY VERSUS LIKE AN APARTMENT COMPLEX.
SO A TYPICAL OFFICER GOING TO HEAR IS THEIR GUARD MORE UP BECAUSE IT'S A PROBABLY BIGGER ISSUE FOR THEIR SAFETY VERSUS THOSE THAT THEY GO TO TO DEAL WITH IN AN APARTMENT.
AND I GET THIS AS BIG GENERALITIES, BUT, BUT I THINK EVERYBODY'S TRYING TO SOFTEN WHAT IS GOING ON AT THIS PROJECT OR EXISTING PROPERTY.
AND I, AND I WANT EVERYBODY TO UNDERSTAND THAT OUR GUARD'S UP ON EVERY CALL WE GO TO
YOU TOOK THE NICE POLITICAL ANSWER OUTTA THAT, BUT, OKAY.
UM, SO I, SINCE I THREW OUT HERE, I'M GONNA ASK IF THE COMMISSIONERS, THEY DIDN'T KNOW I HAD ASKED YOU TO DO THIS, SO THEY, BUT I WILL THROW IT OUT IF ANY OF THEM HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU.
YOU KNOW, I DO HAVE A QUESTION.
OKAY, DAVE, HE'S ON CHIEF FREE
UM, YOU HAD IMPLEMENTED, UH, RECENTLY A CODE VIOLATION PROGRAM OR A, A PROGRAM TO PENALIZE REPEAT OFFENDERS, WHICH I SUSPECT WAS, UH, DRIVEN IN PART BY SITUATIONS LIKE THIS.
SO I'M, I'M TRYING NOT TO CONFLATE KIND OF GET AHEAD OF MYSELF HERE, BUT IS THIS AN ISSUE THAT IS SOLVABLE BY YOUR NEW ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM SO THAT WE'RE NOT MAKING A STRATEGIC DECISION BASED ON SOMETHING THAT YOU THINK, THINK CA HAS A SOLUTION? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
UM, THE PURPOSE OF THAT ORDINANCE IS TO, OBVIOUSLY WE WANNA LOOK AT ANY PROPERTIES THAT HAVE THE REACH, THE CALL FOR SERVICE THRESHOLD, UH, WHICH THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY HAS, UM, AND TRY TO GET THEM TO BRING THAT DOWN.
UM, OUR JOB RIGHT IN LAW ENFORCEMENT IS TO RESPOND TO CALLS FOR SERVICE AND ADDRESS THOSE AND MAKE THE COMMUNITY SAFE FOR EVERYBODY.
AND SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT.
UM, AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, A CRYSTAL BALL, WILL THAT ORDINANCE HELP FIX THIS PROPERTY AND TIME WOULD TELL WITH THAT? UM, I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, UM, THEY, THEIR CALL FOR SERVICE IS IN VIOLATION OF THAT ORDINANCE AND, AND IT HAS BEEN.
SO WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM TO CRIME MITIGATION TACTICS TO TRY TO BRING THAT DOWN.
CHIEF, I HAVE A FOLLOW UP QUESTION.
AM I WRONG IN THINKING THAT IT'S PROBABLY HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE FOLKS THAT ARE AT THE MOTEL SIX, WHENEVER THEY MOVE, THEY'RE PROBABLY JUST GONNA GO DOWN OR ACROSS THE STREET RATHER THAN OUT OF TOWN? I COULDN'T TELL YOU.
I'M NOT GONNA SIT HERE AND TELL YOU IF WE, IF THEY LEAVE HERE, THEY'RE GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE.
UM, I CAN TELL YOU WHEN THEY ARE THERE AT THAT TIME AND IF THEY LEAVE THE PROPERTY, BUT WHERE THEY GO FROM THERE, I CAN'T SIT HERE AND TELL YOU, OH, THEY'RE GONNA GO DOWN THE STREET.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING AND ANSWERING.
WITH THAT I WILL OPEN THE MEETING UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS, PLEASE.
I'M GONNA READ THROUGH BEFORE I LET YOU COME TALK.
I'M GONNA READ THROUGH ALL OF OUR COMMENTS THAT WERE RECEIVED ONLINE.
[02:10:01]
SO FIRST ONE, LESLIE, JUST A NAME IN THE COMMENT, LIKE, THAT'S ALL I REALLY NEED TO GO OVER.SO FIRST ONE PAUL WALDEN SENT IN A SUPPORT FOR THIS.
I DON'T THINK I SAW HIM, SO I DON'T KNOW THAT HE WANTS TO SPEAK AND HE DIDN'T STATE THAT.
UH, NE THAT WAS, I SAID FOR SUPPORT, RIGHT? OKAY, NEXT ONE.
IN FAVOR OR SUPPORT, UM, MY DIRECT, MY BUSINESS IS DIRECTLY ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY AND WE ARE IN FAVOR OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AND RE AND FRESH FUTURE.
THE PRESENT CONDITION OF THE STRUCTURE AND OCCUPANTS ARE NOT CHARACTERISTICS, ADDISON AND ITS QUALITY OF LIVING.
IF HE IS, IF HE WANTS TO SPEAK LATER, LEMME KNOW.
CHUCK GREEN, UH, IS IN SUPPORT OF IT.
UH, I AM COMMENTING TODAY IN SUPPORT OF REGULAR AGENDA ITEM FIVE B, THE PROPOSED 380 DEVELOPMENT.
ADDISON CONTINUES TO BE A HIGHLY DESIRABLE COMMUNITY AND THIS PROJECT HELPS US MEET THE GROWING DEMAND OF MODERN HIGH QUALITY HOUSING.
ADDING 380 UNITS EXPANDS OUR HOUSING OPTIONS FOR YOUNG PROFESSIONALS, EMPTY NESTERS, AND RESIDENTS WHO WANT TO STAY IN ADDISON BUT NEED A DIFFERENT TYPE OF HOME IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF THOUGHTFUL, AMENITY RICH DEVELOPMENT THAT KEEPS EDISON COMPETITIVE WITH SURROUNDING CITIES.
ECONOMICALLY, THE BENEFITS ARE CLEAR.
A PROJECT THIS SIDE STRENGTHS.
OUR STRENGTHENS OUR BUS, OUR TAX BASE SUPPORTS LOCAL BUSINESS AND ATTRIBUTES TO LONG-TERM FINANCIAL STABILITY.
MORE RESIDENTS MEAN MORE ACTIVITY IN OUR RESTAURANTS.
RETAIL AND ENTERTAINMENT MENUS HELP MAINTAIN THE VIBRANT COMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENT THAT S IS KNOWN FOR.
THIS PROJECT BY A HIGHLY RESPECTABLE AND PROVEN DEVELOPER WILL PLACE THE AGING HOTEL PROPERTY THAT FRANKLY, NEGATIVELY IMPACTS THE SHOWCASE IMAGE.
ADDISON PROMOTES ELIMINATE ALLEGED CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AT THE HOTEL AND SLOTS PERFECTLY INTO THE LOCATION ON BELT AND ROAD WITH ACCESS TO PUBLIC SPACE AND OUR DART STATION.
THE PROJECT FILLS BITS WELL WITH THE ADDISON'S CHARACTER AND RAISES THE BAR FOR FUTURE DEVELOP.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, THIS PROPOSAL REFLECTS, REFLECTS SMART, YOUR URBAN FOCUSED GROWTH.
IT USES LAND EFFICIENCY, SUPPORTS WALKABILITY AND ALIGNS WITH THE TOWN'S LONG-TERM VISION FOR BALANCED RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
ADDISON HAS ALSO BEEN A LEADER IN HIGH QUALITY PLANNING AND PROVING THIS PROJECT CONTINUES THAT TRADITION.
FOR THESE REASONS, I RESPECTFULLY ENCOURAGE APPROVAL.
THE DEVELOPMENT IS A STRONG INVESTMENT IN ADDISON'S FUTURE ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND STRUCTURALLY, AND I BELIEVE IT WILL CONTRIBUTE POSITIVELY TO OUR TOWN FOR YEARS TO COME.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
I AM A PRINCIPAL IN BOTH BLUE PLATE NETWORK AND MAD CONCEPTS.
I OFFICE IN ADDISON CIRCLE AND ALSO HAVE AN INVOLVEMENT WITH FLOYD'S BARBER SHOP JAKE'S HAMBURGERS AND OAK BARBECUE.
I AM STRONGLY IN FAVOR OF THE REDEVELOPMENT MULTI-FAMILY PROJECT.
I THINK THIS IS A MAJOR STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR ADDISON AND CLEARLY UP THE PRAC.
THE PARTICULAR SECTION OF THE CITY, OH, SORRY.
I GOT, THINK I GOT THAT CLEANUP.
AND CLEAN UP THAT PARTICULAR SECTION OF THE CITY.
WITH THE GROWTH AND THE MOMENTUM OF ADDISON CONTINUING TO IMPROVE THE TRADE AREA, GOING FURTHER WEST FROM THE TOLLWAY TO MIDWAY AND BEYOND IS STRONGER AND SUPERIOR.
OKAY, I THINK THAT WAS IT FOR THAT GUY MARCUS PROCTOR SUPPORT IN FAVOR OF THE DEVELOPMENT TO REMOVE THE MOTEL SIX AND BUILD LUXURY APARTMENTS FOR FAR TOO LONG, THE MOTEL SIX HAS NOT BEEN AN, HAS NOT ONLY BEEN AN EYESORE, BUT ALSO A DEN FOR DRUGS AND CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THIS CHANGE WOULD BENEFIT THE CITY OF ADDISON.
ANDREW VEDER FOR MOTEL EIGHT, I THINK HE MEANS SIX, BUT OKAY.
ZONING IN FAVOR OF NEW LUXURY APARTMENTS.
DO YOU WANT ME TO READ THIS, NANCY OR DO YOU WANNA SPEAK LATER? YOU CAN READ IT.
I HOPE EACH COMMISSIONER SPECIFICALLY REMINDED FOR THE PURPOSE STATEMENT OF THE COMMISSION.
I HOPE EACH COMMISSIONER IS SPECIFICALLY REMINDED OF THE PURPOSE STATEMENT OF THE COMMISSION.
THE CHARGE CHARGE STATED THEREIN ARE IMPORTANT AND I BELIEVE THIS PROJECT MEASURE MEASURES FAVORABLY WHEN REVIEWING THE LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT ATTRIBUTES.
WHEN APPLYING ESTABLISHED PLANNING PRINCIPLES OF THE ADMINISTRATION OF ZONING AND REGULATIONS, I BELIEVE THE PROJECT UPHOLDS AND LIKELY IMPROVES THE SAFETY, WELFARE, AND OVERALL WELLBEING OF RESIDENTS, THE WORKFORCE AND VI VISITORS.
I BELIEVE THIS APPLICATION SHOULD BE APPROVED.
PLEASE VOTE YES AND ALLOW THIS APPLICATION TO BE SENT TO COUNCIL TO FURTHER REVIEW.
THERE'S SOME MORE ONLINE THAT DIDN'T MAKE PRINT, WHICH AT LEAST I CAN READ THESE BIGGER THAN THOSE PAPERWORK.
DO YOU WANT ME TO READ OR YOU WANNA COME UP LATER?
[02:15:01]
I'M NOT GONNA COME UP LATER, BUT I THINK THEY CAN ALL YOU WANT ME TO? I DON'T HAVE TO READ IT.HE GAVE ME PERMISSION TO GIVE YOU THE CLIFF NOTES SO HE THINKS IT'S GREAT.
YEAH, YOU
IF HE FEELS THE NEED LATER HE CAN COME BACK UP.
I WAS GONNA GET THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH NO TROUBLES IN PRONUNCIATION.
I WAS CONFUSED HERE WITH SOME MODIFICATIONS TO THE INITIAL PLAN.
I'M IN SUPPORT OF THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT TO REPLACE THE LONG VACANT DENNY'S AND BADLY AGING MOTEL SIX ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF MIDWAY AND BELT AND ROAD.
WHILE NOT AFFILIATED WITH ROSE ROAD CORPORATION CORPORATION, I AM FAMILIAR WITH THEIR HIGH-END DEVELOPMENTS AND THEIR STELLAR REPUTATION.
I'VE STAYED AT MANY OF THEIR HOTELS IN NORTH AMERICA AND THEY ARE CONSISTENTLY RATED AS SOME OF THE FINEST IN THE WORLD.
THIS DEVELOPMENT HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPUR REVITALIZATION AT THIS NEGLECTED SECTION OF, OF BELTLINE ROAD.
GIVEN THE LOCATION, WE ARE LIMITED IN THE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL WORK.
SINCE THIS LOCATION DOES NOT BACK UP TO ANY SINGLE NEIGHBORHOODS, SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS, I FIND THIS DEVELOPMENT TO BE APPROPRIATE.
THIS IS THE, YEAH, I GOT THAT NEXT.
RON WHITEHEAD, UH, SENT US ALL AN EMAIL.
UM, RON, YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ IT.
IF ANYBODY WANTS TO READ IT AFTERWARDS.
WITH THAT NOW I'M GOING TO GO TO THOSE THAT HAVE SENT IN COMMENT CARDS AND WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK.
SO I'M GOING TO OPEN THIS UP PORTION OF THE OPEN COMMENTS PORTION OF THIS.
STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
YOU'RE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES.
I KINDA WENT OVER THE RULES OF THAT EARLIER.
YOU DIDN'T, DO YOU WANNA SPEAK OR NOT? YOU DIDN'T FILL OUT THAT SIDE OF THE PAPERWORK.
HOW ABOUT IT? CHAIR FLER COMMISSIONERS.
MY NAME IS GUILLERMO QUINTANILLA, 41 15 RUSH CIRCLE.
I WANT TO THANK THE TOWN STAFF, INCLUDING OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TEAM.
FOR THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE.
HA HAS GONE INTO BRINGING FORWARD A QUALITY REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE SITE.
I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE COMMISSION FOR THE THOUGHTFUL QUESTIONS AND GUIDANCE YOU'VE PROVIDED THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS.
YOU HAVE CLEARLY RECOGNIZED BOTH THE CHALLENGES PRESENTED BY THE EXISTING USE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF APPLYING ADDISON'S HOUSING POLICY CAREFULLY AND RESPONSIBLY.
I APPRECIATE ROSEWOOD AS WELL FOR WORKING WITH STAFF, RESPONDING TO CONCERNS AND CONTINUING TO REFINE THE PROPOSAL.
AFTER REVIEWING THE PROJECT, I AM SUPPORTIVE OF IT.
I BELIEVE ROSEWOOD REPRESENTS THE KIND OF HIGH QUALITY REDEVELOPMENT THAT CAN IMPROVE THIS PROPERTY, STRENGTHEN THE BELT LINE AND MIDWAY AREA, AND POTENTIALLY SERVE AS A CATALYST FOR ADDITIONAL REDEVELOPMENT AROUND IT.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT ABANDONING THE HOUSING POLICY, IT IS ABOUT RECOGNIZING WHEN A PARTICULAR SITE AND A PARTICULAR PROPOSAL JUSTIFY THE CAREFUL USE OF THE FLEXIBILITY THAT PO THE POLICY PROVIDES.
I BELIEVE THIS PROJECT DOES THAT.
I URGE YOU TO VOTE YES AND RECOMMEND APPROVAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK AND YOUR SERVICE TO THE TOWN.
NEXT CARD I HAVE, NEXT CARD I HAVE IS DEREK UNDERWOOD, WHO'S IN FAVOR FOR IT, UH, THE PROJECT AND WAS 50 50 IF YOU WANTED TO TALK OR NOT.
SO HOW ARE YOU FEELING RIGHT NOW? OKAY.
YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.
UH, KANO LANE AT, UM, IN THE LAC COMMUNITY.
SO THEY HAVE IT FOR THE RECORDS.
UM, YEAH, THIS, UH, I WAS HERE TWO WEEKS AGO.
WE HAD AN EXCELLENT PRESENTATION FROM ROSEWOOD.
UH, WE SAW THE BENEFIT, UH, THAT THIS WOULD BRING REPLACEMENT OF THE, UM, UNSIGHTLY, UM, MOTEL SIX, UH, RE REDUCTION OF CRIME AND SO ON.
SO, UH, I'D LIKE TO ALSO ADD THAT ADDISON IS IN THE MIDDLE OF WHAT'S GOING ON NOW WITH THE SPORTS TEAMS AND THE MOVEMENT TO THE NORTH THAT'S OCCURRING IN DALLAS.
UH, MORE WITH THE SPORTS TEAMS POTENTIALLY GOING TO VALLEY VIEW FOR THE MAVERICKS.
UM, STARS AT, UM, UH, NOT STONEBRIAR, THE, UH, WILLOW BEND.
INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY THAT ADDISON HAS.
THIS LOCATION IS AMAZING AND IT'S A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY TO LIVE IN.
WE JUST HAVE TO RAISE THE BAR ALL THE TIME.
ALWAYS WANT TO IMPROVE IN ADDISON.
I THINK IT'S AN EXCELLENT DEVELOPMENT, UH, PROPOSAL.
WE DO THIS IN ONE LOCATION AND HOPEFULLY WILL SPREAD TO THE, UH, GOING, ESPECIALLY GOING WEST.
[02:20:01]
YOU.MIKE LANE, WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS, AND YOU DIDN'T REALLY SAY IF YOU WANTED TO CHAT OR NOT, SO COME ON UP IF YOU WANT TO.
AND IF YOU'RE NOT GETTING YOUR WEEKLY BARBECUE FIXING, YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE, DON'T FORGET NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE.
SO, UH, I PROBABLY HAVE ONE OF THE MOST IMPACTED PIECES TO THIS WHOLE PUZZLE.
UM, BESIDES A COUPLE OTHER BUSINESSES HERE.
UH, WE'RE NEIGHBORS OF THESE PEOPLE.
WE EXPERIENCE THE ISSUES EVERY DAY OF THESE PEOPLE.
UH, WHILE YOU'RE SLEEPING AT NIGHT, I'M WORKING AND EXPERIENCED ALL THE ISSUES.
WE'VE CALLED PEOPLE CALLED THE POLICE TO OUR FACILITIES MULTIPLE TIMES.
UH, IT IS NOT A SILVER LEVEL, UH, FACILITY THERE
YOU COULDN'T HAVE A BETTER PARTNER IN, IN THE CITY TO HAVE ROSEWOOD OR ALEY.
UH, THEY'RE WILLING TO SPEND HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR US AND BRING GREAT, UH, PRODUCTS TO THE CITY.
AND SO I THINK WE SHOULD BE PRIVILEGED TO HAVE THAT THERE, UM, AND EXPERIENCE THAT WITH THEM.
SO, BUT SAFETY IS MY MOST IMPORTANT VALUE TO MY BUSINESS AND, UM, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE KEEPING OUR CUSTOMERS SAFE.
UH, WHETHER IT BE CHILDREN, WOMEN, ADULTS AND SORTS.
PEOPLE COME TO MY BUSINESS FOR MEETINGS ALL THE TIME AND, UH, WE WANNA MAKE SURE EVERYONE'S STAYING SAFE.
UH, THERE'S ISSUES ALL THE TIME.
WE HAVE ISSUES EVERY SINGLE WEEK.
AND YOU, YOU'LL HEAR FROM ONE, ONE OF THE ISSUES HERE IN A FEW MINUTES.
BUT THE CONNECTIVITY ALSO IS IMPORTANT.
YOU KNOW, I, UM, I WAS ASKED TO SPEND A A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ON A SIDEWALK FROM, FROM EVERYBODY, AND SO WE DID IT AND I'D LOVE TO SEE IT USED.
UM, SO, YOU KNOW, IT'D BE GREAT TO HAVE THAT CONNECTIVITY AND WALKABILITY UP AND DOWN, UH, BELT LINE.
SO, UM, BUT I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS I'M DEFINITELY IN FAVOR OF IT.
IT'S GONNA BRING THE PROPERTY VALUES UP, IT'S GONNA BRING GREAT CONNECTIVITY TO THE CITY.
UM, IT IS, UM, JUST A GREAT VALUE ADD TO THIS SIDE OF THE TOLLWAY.
UM, IT'S GONNA BRING MORE POPULATION A LITTLE BIT, BUT IT'S PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LIVE HERE.
THEY HAVE THE DOLLARS TO PAY FOR FOOD.
FOOD'S EXPENSIVE AT THESE RESTAURANTS, UH, AND WE'RE GONNA SUPPORT, YOU KNOW, ALL THE DIFFERENT RESTAURANTS IN THE AREA.
UM, BUT UM, AND I THINK THAT WE'VE GOTTA CHANGE THE STATUS QUO.
SO FOR THE LAST 30 TO 50 YEARS, YOU KNOW, IT'S GONE DOWNHILL.
UM, AND WHAT'S WORK, WHAT'S THERE CURRENTLY IS NOT WORKING.
UH, LET'S LET THE EXPERTS DO THEIR JOB, UH, AND GIVE THEM THE TOOLS TO DO IT.
SO THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME OUT.
NEXT ON THE LIST IS LILY LANE WHO WANTS TO SPEAK IN FAVOR, I THINK WANTS TO SPEAK.
MAYBE I'VE BEEN READING THE FORM WRONG.
MAYBE YOU ALL LILY HAVE SAID YOU WANTED TO SPEAK AND I JUST READ IT WRONG.
PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORDS PLEASE.
UM, I'M FROM OAK BARBECUE, 45 25 BELTLINE ROAD.
UM, I WANTED TO SPEAK ON, FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR TIME AND THANK YOU GUYS FOR CONSIDERING THIS PROPERTY.
I THINK IT IS A GREAT ADDITION TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
IN ADDITION THAT I WOULD POTENTIALLY WANNA LIVE IN.
I'M 19, I JUST GRADUATED FROM JJ PIERCE HIGH SCHOOL AND I WOULD LOVE TO LIVE IN ADDISON IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX LIKE THIS.
UM, I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT A COUPLE PERSONAL EXPERIENCES I'VE HAD FROM THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN MOTEL SIX IN THE SURROUNDING, UH, HOTELS.
UM, FIRST OF ALL, THERE WAS A OLDER GENTLEMAN THE OTHER DAY THAT CAME IN AND WAS DISRESPECTFUL AND INAPPROPRIATE TO ALL OF OUR EMPLOYEES.
I AM HEAD OF OPERATIONS AT OAK BARBECUE AND SO I'M THERE EVERY DAY FROM OPEN TO CLOSE.
I SEE EVERYONE, I TALK TO EVERYONE.
AND I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT FOR A VERY LONG TIME, SINCE I WAS 14 AND OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE A FOOD HANDLER'S LICENSE.
SO, UM, I AM VERY SEASONED AT MY JOB AND I, UM, DON'T WANT ANY OF MY EMPLOYEES OR FELLOW COLLEAGUES TO BE IN DANGER.
UM, THERE WAS A MAN THAT CAME IN AND WENT THROUGH THE LINE.
HE HAD, UM, BEHAVIOR THAT SEEMED, UM, UNPROFESSIONAL AND DISRESPECTFUL AND HE, AT THE END OF THE LINE, I CHECKED HIM OUT BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT PUT TO PUT ANY OF MY OTHER FEMALE COLLEAGUES IN A POSITION TO FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE.
AND I HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE HANDLING, UM, PROFESSIONALISM IN THAT SORT OF STATE.
AND AS HE WAS CHECKING ME OUT OR I WAS CHECKING HIM OUT, EXCUSE ME, HE SAID A DIRECT QUOTE, UM, ABOUT IF, ABOUT ME NOT GIVING HIM A CORRECT PITCH ON ASKING HIM FOR A CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE.
AND HE SAID DIRECTLY, IF YOU WANNA TALK TO ME LIKE THAT, THEN THAT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE GONNA BE A PROSTITUTE.
I'LL TAKE YOU TO THE BACK AND SHOW YOU WHAT PROSTITUTION IS.
AND THAT IS A VERY, UM, VERY, A QUOTE AND A TYPE OF LANGUAGE THAT WE HEAR A LOT AT THE BUSINESSES AROUND US THAT IS A TYPE OF, UM, PERSON THAT WE SEE A LOT.
AND AFTER THAT, HE WENT UP TO THE BAR AND, UM, TALKED SIMILARLY TO OUR FEMALE AND MALE BARTENDERS AND THEN THREATENED IF WE WERE GONNA KICK HIM OUT, THAT HE WOULD PULL OUR FOR ALARMS AND SHUT
[02:25:01]
DOWN US FOR THE NIGHT.SO HE HAD LEFT AND I HAD TWO OF MY, UH, MALE COLLEAGUES WALK OUT WITH HIM TO MAKE SURE HE DIDN'T COME BACK INTO OUR, UM, BUSINESS.
AND HE WALKED RIGHT DOWN TO THAT MOTEL SIX WHERE HE WAS STAYING.
SO, UM, I JUST WANNA LET YOU GUYS KNOW THAT THAT IS THE TYPE OF EXPERIENCES THAT WE ARE HAVING AT THESE LOCAL BUSINESSES.
I HAVE TWO LITTLE SIBLINGS THAT COME AND WORK WITH ME EVERY MOST DAYS OF THE WEEK WHEN THEY'RE NOT IN SCHOOL.
AND WE HAVE A LOT OF COLLEAGUES THAT LOVE THEIR JOB BUT DON'T LOVE IT SOMETIMES 'CAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE THAT THAT COME AND WE SERVE AND WE'RE NOT GONNA REFUSE RIGHT SERVICE TO ANYONE UNLESS WE HAVE TO BECAUSE OF EXPERIENCES LIKE THAT.
UM, BUT I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW THAT THAT IS THE TYPE OF PEOPLE THAT WE'RE HAVING WALK INTO OUR RESTAURANTS BECAUSE LIKE MY DAD SAID EARLIER, THOSE ARE OUR NEIGHBORS.
AND SO IF WE COULD MINIMIZE THAT BECAUSE UH, FOR, AND CHANGE IT FOR PROPERTIES LIKE, UM, THIS ROSEWOOD ONE, THEN THAT WOULD BE A GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR US AND WE WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE MORE CUSTOMERS AND PEOPLE THAT COME ENJOY OUR FOOD THAT WANNA BE THERE AND ARE NOT GONNA CAUSE TROUBLE OR MAKE ANYONE FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE OR JEOPARDIZE ANYONE'S SAFETY.
SORRY TO HEAR ALL THOSE THINGS ARE HAPPENING TO YOU.
AND IT WAS A VERY BRAVE VIEW TO COME TELL US OFF.
OKAY, I'M GONNA STRUGGLE WITH THIS ONE BECAUSE I CAN'T READ THE HANDWRITING VERY WELL, BUT IT IS JOHN ASHA BA BI THINK IT'S A B SORRY.
THE ADDRESS IS 15 100 MIDWAY ROAD.
UH, I AM PART OF THE INVESTMENT GROUP THAT OWNS THE PROPERTY DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ON THE WEST AND NORTH SIDE.
UH, WE'RE HERE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF, UH, OF THIS, OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.
WE'VE SPENT A FAIR AMOUNT OF TIME WITH THE ROSEWOOD GROUP.
YOU KNOW, WE UH, WE LIKE WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING HERE AS OUR NEIGHBORS.
WE KNOW THAT THEY WILL DO A FIRST RATE PROPERTY AND THAT THEY'VE GOT VERY HIGH QUALITY STANDARDS.
WE WERE HERE FOR THE AUGUST 5TH PUBLIC SESSION, UH, AND THE MOST IMPORTANT POINTS WE HEARD MADE WERE THIS WILL INCREASE TAXES FOR THE TOWN, THIS WILL REDUCE THE SERVICE CALLS IN THAT AREA.
THE CHIEF SPOKE TO THAT QUITE WELL.
UH, AND THIS WILL BRING MORE KINDA LONG-TERM RESIDENTS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH WE THINK IS GOOD FOR THE TOWN.
UH, SO IN SHORT, WE WOULD REALLY WELCOME THIS DEVELOPMENT AS OUR NEW NEIGHBOR AND WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO SPEAK TO YOU ON IT.
AND THE NEXT ONE, THIS IS ZACHARY SMETZER.
HELLO, UH, MY NAME IS ZACH SMETZER.
I LIVE AT 4 9 2 5 MARCUS AVENUE, UNIT 3 4 0 9, ADDISON, TEXAS 7 5 0 0 1.
UH, I'M HERE TODAY TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS PROJECT.
UM, WHILE IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T MEET ALL QUALITIES OF ADDISON'S POLICY WITH THE HOUSING POLICY, I THINK THIS IS A WORTHY EXCEPTION AND I THINK THERE ARE A COUPLE OF REASONS WHY I THINK NUMBER ONE IS WHAT IT IS REPLACING.
WE NEED TO BE HONEST, THIS IS REPLACING A MOTEL SIX, BUT IT'S ALSO REPLACING AN ENTIRELY EMPTY LOT THAT PEOPLE AREN'T TALKING ABOUT THAT ISN'T DOING ANYTHING FOR EDISON RIGHT NOW.
AND THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO REPLACE AN EMPTY LOT THERE.
THE OTHER THING ABOUT THE LOCATION HERE IS THAT THIS REALLY ISN'T CLOSE TO ANY SORT OF FEE SIMPLE HOUSING RIGHT NOW.
AND I THINK THAT THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
I THINK WHILE IT IS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED, I THINK IT CAN BE VERY OBVIOUSLY IMPLIED THAT A LOT OF THE HOUSING POLICY WAS TRYING TO STOP THIS TYPE OF HOUSING IS BUILT AROUND IT BEING CLOSE TO FEE SIMPLE HOUSING.
AND THIS IS NOWHERE NEAR CLOSE TO FEE SIMPLE HOUSING.
IT'S NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY SORT OF SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON ANY SORT OF FEE SIMPLE HOMEOWNER, IN MY OPINION AT LEAST.
THE OTHER THING THAT I THINK MAKES THIS PROPERTY IN PARTICULAR REALLY GREAT AND I DON'T THINK GOT ENOUGH ATTENTION WAS ITS CONNECTIVITY TO THE COTTON BELT TRAIL.
WELL, PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT THAT A LOT.
I LOVE MORE PEOPLE ON THE BIKE TRAIL, SO THAT'S AWESOME.
WHAT ALSO WAS SUPER COOL ABOUT THIS IS, WHILE IT REALLY MIGHT NOT LOOK LIKE IT ON THE FRONT, THIS IS A SURPRISINGLY TRANSIT ACCESSIBLE PROPERTY.
THIS IS GOING TO HAVE GOOD ACCESS TO THE COTTON BELT TRAIL AND THEREFORE REALLY GOOD ACCESS TO RIDE A BIKE OR WALK STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE TRAIN STATION STRAIGHT DOWN TO TAKE A BUS TO DOWNTOWN IF THEY WORK IN UPTOWN.
'CAUSE I KNOW I CERTAINLY DON'T LIKE TO PAY FOR PARKING DOWN IN UPTOWN AND IT'S NICE TO BE ABLE TO TAKE A BUS AND I HAVE TO GO DOWN THERE FOR WORK.
AND SO I, I THINK THIS PROPERTY REALLY IS EXCEPTIONAL.
IT DOES A LOT OF GREAT THINGS.
ONE LAST THING I DID WANNA SAY THERE, THERE WAS A COMMENT ON THE COUNCIL TALKING ABOUT, HEY, IF THIS, YOU KNOW, IS REMOVING A CRIME RIDDEN PROPERTY, IS THAT CRIME JUST GONNA MOVE DOWN THE STREET? IS IT JUST GONNA MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE? AND WHILE I CERTAINLY THINK THERE'S MERITS TO THAT, I THINK THERE'S A SENSE OF, HEY, THE CRIME ISN'T GONNA FULLY DISAPPEAR.
IT'S NOT ABOUT FULLY DISAPPEARING, IT'S ABOUT MAKING ADDISON BETTER ONE STEP AT A TIME.
AND I THINK THAT THIS WILL MAKE ADDISON JUST THAT ONE STEP BETTER AND IT'S SLOWLY BUT SURELY MAKING ADDISON BE ABLE TO HAVE LESS OF THESE CRIME RIDDEN PROPERTIES
[02:30:01]
IF WE ARE BEING BLUNT.SO IN SHORT, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT EXCEPTION.
I THINK IT'S REPLACING A PROPERTY THAT IS CRIME RIDDEN, NOT DOING GREAT FOR ADDISON'S IMAGE, AND ALSO A VACANT LAW, WHICH IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ADDISON AT ALL RIGHT NOW.
IT IS IN A GREAT LOCATION WHERE IT IS A MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT, NOT NEAR ANY SORT OF FEE SIMPLE HOUSING.
UH, AND I THINK IT HAS GREAT CONNECTIVITY TO THE COTTON BELT TRAIL TO THEREFORE GIVE IT TRANSIT ACCESS TO PEOPLE TO RIDE THE SILVER LINE OR TO TAKE A BUS DOWNTOWN.
UH, AND LASTLY, WHILE IT MAY NOT FULLY ELIMINATE PROPERTY, I DON'T THINK ANYTHING'S GONNA FULL.
WHILE IT MAY NOT FULLY ELIMINATE CRIME, I DON'T THINK ANYTHING'S GONNA FULLY ELIMINATE CRIME.
I THINK THIS WILL HELP CRIME AND I THINK THAT THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT AND WE SHOULD CONSIDER THAT.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR LISTENING.
OKAY, THAT'S ALL I HAD FOR CARDS.
WAS THERE ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON, SPEAK ON THE ISSUE? OKAY, BOB AND LESLIE.
IS THERE ANYBODY ONLINE BESIDES DAVE? OKAY, GOOD EVENING.
UM, I LIVE AT 40 14 WINTER PARK LANE, 7 5 0 0 1.
UM, IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYBODY, WHEN THEY ADDRESS THE GROUP ON A TOPIC LIKE THIS WANTS TO GIVE A HISTORY LESSON ABOUT THINGS.
I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A HISTORY LESSON IN LESS THAN THREE MINUTES ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE WITH ADDISON AND WHAT THIS ALL MEANS.
I MOVED HERE IN 1978 FROM SAN ANTONIO.
I WAS IN THE WINE AND SPIRIT BUSINESS BACK THEN AND, UH, WE LIVED IN RICHARDSON AND I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ADDISON UNTIL ADDISON WENT WET SOMETIME IN THE EIGHTIES.
AND THEN EVERYBODY KNEW ABOUT ADDISON AND ALL THESE LIQUOR STORES THAT ARE ON INWOOD ROAD AND ALL THESE, UH, RESTAURANTS, BARS AND RESTAURANTS ON BELTLINE AND EVERY PLACE ELSE.
AND THE LAST PLACE TO GET A DRINK BEFORE YOU GOT TO OKLAHOMA WAS ADDISON, TEXAS.
AND I SUSPECT BACK IN THOSE DAYS THAT PEOPLE COMPLAINED ABOUT THERE BEING TOO MANY APARTMENTS.
I GUESS, WHO KNOWS? THE FIRST TIME I EVER HEARD ABOUT ROSEWOOD WAS IN THE, IN THE EARLY EIGHTIES WHEN THEY OPENED THE MANSION AND THEY HAD THE MANSION AT TURTLE CREEK.
IT WAS THE CREME DE LA CREME OF ANYTHING.
FAST FORWARD TO TODAY, NOTHING'S CHANGED.
I SUSPECT EVEN BACK THEN THERE WERE TOO MANY APARTMENTS ACCORDING TO SOME PEOPLE.
UM, IN 2006, WE BOUGHT THE HOUSE THAT I CURRENTLY LIVE IN TODAY AND MY JOB WAS SOMEPLACE ELSE.
I WOULD COME HOME ON THE WEEKENDS AND I WOULD HEAR FROM MY WIFE THE RANTING ABOUT TOO MANY APARTMENTS, TOO MANY APARTMENTS.
AND I SAID, THAT CAN'T BE THE BIGGEST ISSUE THAT WERE, THAT WE'RE, THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
THIS IS A WONDERFUL PLACE TO LIVE.
FAST FORWARD TO TODAY AND AND I WOULD TELL YOU WE'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT A LOT OF THE SAME THINGS.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT WINE AND SPIRITS ANYMORE, BUT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TOO MANY APARTMENTS, BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE QUALITY DEVELOPER THAT WANTS TO GET INVOLVED IN OUR TOWN, AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE KIND OF CRIME THAT IS INFECTED IN THAT AREA RIGHT NOW.
AND THE IDEA THAT WE DON'T, ALL OF Y'ALL DON'T VOTE TO APPROVE THIS WAS, WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION.
AND FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE, HAVE SOME FIXATION WITH APARTMENTS AND WE GOT TOO MANY, I WOULD JUST SAY TO THEM IN CLOSING, GET OVER IT.
UH, WOULD ANYBODY ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK? THAT'S HERE.
STILL NOBODY ONLINE, LESLIE? CORRECT.
WITH THAT, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THIS.
UH, COMMISSIONERS ANY FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I THINK THE REPORT IN THE RESIDENCE KINDA SPEAK FOR ME.
WITH THAT, DO YOU HAVE A MOTION? YOU KNOW, I DO HAVE A COMMENT.
I'M SWIMMING UPSTREAM ON THIS.
UM, AND I AM IN NO WAY SUPPORTING, UM, THE MOTEL SIX SITUATION.
I THINK WE MAY BE CONFLATING THINGS IN REGARD TO THIS PROCESS, BUT BE THAT AS IT MAY, THE ONE THING THAT
[02:35:01]
I REALLY AM STRUGGLING WITH, AND, UM, BY THE WAY, ROSEWOOD IS A QUALITY DEVELOPER.THIS IS AN AREA THAT SPEAKS TO THE NEED FOR THAT.
BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE HOUSING POLICY, THE 2017 HOUSING POLICY, WE'VE TOSSED AROUND THE WORDS EXCEPTIONAL ALL NIGHT LONG.
BUT I HAVE TO SAY TO YOU THAT WHEN I LOOK AT THAT BUILDING, NOT THE INSIDES, NOT THE AMENITIES, JUST THE BUILDING ITSELF, QUITE FRANKLY, I FIND IT EXCEPTIONAL.
IT TO ME LOOKS LIKE VIRTUALLY EVERY OTHER FIVE STORY MULTIFAMILY APARTMENT COMPLEX IN THE METROPLEX.
SO I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THAT AND I FRANKLY THINK THE TOWN DESERVES BETTER.
UM, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT, UM, I'M VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE PROJECT.
UM, IT TOUCHES ALL THE, OR CHECKS OFF ALL THE CHECK BOXES FOR ME, UH, ESPECIALLY, UM, MATCHING UP WITH THE ADDISON 2050.
THANK YOU FOR THE APPROACH AND, UM, THE SENSITIVITY FOR THE PROJECT.
JIMMY, ARE YOU COMMENTING? ARE YOU, I I AM COMMENTING.
UM, I'M GONNA SWIM UPSTREAM ALSO.
UH, I AGREE WITH DAVE THAT THIS, THIS COMPLEX, I, I WISH IT WAS EXCEPTIONAL, BUT IT LOOKS JUST EXACTLY LIKE THE NEWEST ONES THAT THEY BUILT ON IN FARMER'S BRANCH ON MIDWAY CLOSE TO 6 35.
UM, I ALSO STILL BELIEVE, UH, IN, IN SPITE OF THE, THE COMMENT FROM CHIEF THAT THE TRANSIENT POPULATION IS, IS GOING TO STAY HERE, THEY'RE JUST GONNA GO SOMEWHERE ELSE AND COMMIT THEIR CRIMES AND THAT WILL BE IN OUR TOWN.
UM, I ALSO HAVE A CONCERN WITH, WITH, UH, THE CONTINUATION OF THE SELLING OFF OF OUR TREES FOR DESTRUCTION.
THAT'S VERY PROBLEMATIC FOR US, ESPECIALLY WITH THE INCREASE IN AIR SOUND LIGHT AND, AND NOISE POLLUTION IN OUR TOWN.
AND WITH THE PASSING OF THIS, IT WILL PUSH US TOWARDS 85% APARTMENTS.
AND ALTHOUGH I APPRECIATE BOB'S COMMENTS, UM, UNFORTUNATELY I CAN'T GET OVER THAT.
SO LAST SESSION WE HAD, UM, THE ADDISON GREEN THAT NOT ONLY DID TECHNICALLY INCREASE OWNERSHIP HOUSING AND IT ALSO OFFERED SOMETHING ADJACENT TO SENIOR HOUSING, WHICH FITS A LOT OF THE, THE PROPERTIES OR A LOT OF THE PROPERTIES.
THAT HOUSING PLAN, WE STILL ALL REJECTED IT.
SO, I MEAN, I I, I DON'T WANT US TO USE THE 2017 HOUSING PLAN AS A, AS A BLUDGEON HERE.
UM, I DO THINK THIS IS EXCEPTIONAL OVERALL.
UM, AND I'M READY FOR A MOTION.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONERS? OKAY, WITH THAT, DO I HAVE A MOTION? I'D LIKE TO MOVE APPROVAL OF CASE 1960 Z ROSEWOOD PD, UH, WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM STAFF, UM, ABOUT THE BUILDING PERMIT FOR THE PROJECT, REQUIRING, UH, UH, THE APPLICANT TO PAY PARKLAND DEDICATION FEE IN LIEU, UM, AND THE PARK DEVELOPMENT FEE.
UM, AND ALSO THE REMOVAL OF THE EXISTING 36 INCH L MADAM CHAIRMAN, I HAVE AN AMENDMENT AS WELL.
WE, WE GOTTA VOTE ON THAT ONE.
I'M AMENDING THAT HER MOTION A SECOND.
I NEED TO ASK ABOUT A SECOND FIRST, RIGHT? YEAH, A SECOND.
I, I KNOW, BUT SHE DIDN'T, I WANTED TO VOTE FIRST BEFORE I EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO ASK FOR.
NO, I WAS GETTING READY TO ASK FOR A SECOND.
UH, I MOVE TO AMEND THE RECOMMENDATION SO THAT BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THE PD ORDINANCE AND CONTROLLING EXHIBITS BE REVISED TO PROVIDE THAT THE DEVELOPMENT IS LIMITED TO 380 UNITS WITHOUT AN ADMINISTRATIVE INCREASE ABOVE THAT NUMBER, THE MINIMUM EFFICIENCY UNIT SIZE BE 650 FEET.
AND THE OVERALL AVERAGE RESIDENTIAL UNIT SIZE IS AT LEAST 880 FEET.
A BINDING UNIT SCHEDULE IS INCORPORATED INTO THE ORDINANCE OR CONTROLLING EXHIBITS.
WHILE ALLOWING NON-MATERIAL INTERIOR LAYOUT ADJUSTMENTS THAT DO NOT REDUCE THE STATED MINIMUMS OR AVERAGE THE DE THE DEVELOPMENT SHALL ACHIEVE A MINIMUM OF NGBS SILVER CERTIFICATE.
UH, AND THAT THAT REQUIREMENT SHALL BE INCORPORATED INTO THE PD.
DO WE NOT NEED TO VOTE ON THE SECOND, THE MOTION THAT WAS SECOND.
FIRST OR DO I WE REPLY ON HIS AMENDMENT.
HOW, WHAT'S THE ORDER HERE? WE'VE GOTTA CONSIDER HIS AMENDMENT OKAY.
TO DETERMINE JUST AS NOT THE ORIGINAL.
DOESN'T NEED TO SECOND TO THAT.
WHAT ARE WE VOTING ON ALL IN FAVORS OF ALAN'S? ALL THE THINGS THAT ALAN JUST ASKED TO ADD.
COULD YOU HEAR THAT DAVE? I DID.
AND THAT IN NOWHERE, UH, THAT STANDS ON ITS OWN.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE VOTING ON RIGHT NOW, IS HIS AMENDMENT.
ARE YOU ON? ARE YOU IN? SO ALL IN FAVOR OF THE AMENDMENT.
[02:40:01]
IT'S THREE A'S, UH, ALL AGAINST IT.NOW DO WE WANNA VOTE ON CHELSEA'S MOTION? THAT HAD A SECOND BY TYLER.
MOTION CARRIES WITH FOUR TO THREE.
CONGRATULATIONS AND LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR PROJECT.
HOPEFULLY GOOD LUCK AT COUNSEL.
MAYBE I SHOULD SAY IT THAT WORD INSTEAD.
UM, NEXT WE ARE MOVING ON TO LESLIE.
SO DO I HAVE TO MAKE A FORMAL DISCUSSION OF IT OR JUST ANNOUNCE THAT IT'S POSTPONED? OKAY.
NEXT, I'LL OPEN UP, UH, FOR CITIZENS' COMMENTS TO BE, UH, AT THIS TIME ALLOWED TO SPEAK ON ANY OTHER MATTER 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 ACCORDS WITH THE LAW.
DOES ANYONE HERE WISH TO SPEAK ON THAT? ANYONE ONLINE? LESLIE KAY.
HAVING SEEN NONE, I CLOSE THAT PUBLIC PORTION.
ADJOURN THE MEETING, THE PLANNING MEETING.
