Mar 16, 2021 Planning and Zoning Commission

ALL OPPOSED SAY NAY.

ITEM THREE A IS A VARIANCE.

[a. Consider approving a request for a subdivision variance to allow reduced lot widths for approximately 1.14 acres, generally located north of Peggy Avenue, east of Seventh Street and west of North Eighth Street.]

CONSIDER APPROVING A REQUEST FOR SUBDIVISION VARIANCE TO ALLOW REDUCED LOT WIDTHS FOR APPROXIMATELY 1.14 ACRES.

GENERALLY LOCATED NORTH OF PEGGY AVENUE, EAST OF SEVENTH STREET AND WEST OF NORTH EIGHTH, EIGHTH STREET.

THANK YOU EMILIO.

UH, THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.

UH, EMILIO VARRIO PLANNER TWO WITH PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

FOR THE RECORD, LET ME GET TO THE SLIDES HERE.

UH, SO, UM, IF, IF YOU WILL, UH, I THINK, UH, THE DESIRE WAS TO TAKE UP THE, UM, THE VARIANCE, SUBDIVISION VARIANCE AND THE PLAT AT THE SAME TIME.

UM, MAYBE IN TWO DIFFERENT MOTIONS, BUT WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT.

BUT, UH, JUST, UH, FOR YOUR INFORMATION, FOR YOUR BEARINGS HERE, UM, SOUTH OF WARD IN, UH, WEST OF NORTH ALEXANDER IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

UM, THE DESIRE IS TO, UH, GAIN SEVEN RESIDENTIAL LOTS HERE, UH, ONE BLOCK.

UH, HOWEVER, THERE IS SOME IMPEDIMENTS.

UH, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING SOME LOTS THAT ARE, UM, JUST SLIGHTLY UNDER THE REQUIRED WIDTH OF 50 FEET, I BELIEVE 49.65 AND 49.67, UM, FOR FOUR OF THE LOTS.

UM, TWO FRONTING SEVENTH STREET, TWO FRONTING NORTH EIGHTH STREET.

AND THEN, UH, THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE ALSO REQUIRES A WIDTH OF AN EXTRA WIDTH OF FIVE FEET FOR CORNER LOTS.

UM, HOWEVER, STAFF FEELS THAT THESE VARIANCES, UM, WHILE THEY DON'T MEET THE CODE, THEY ARE, THEY WOULD BE IN LINE WITH THE, UH, THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT, UH, THE, UH, CHARACTER AND PATTERN OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND SO WE'RE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THOSE VARIANCES AND THE PLAT AS WELL.

UM, JUST SOME BACKGROUND, UH, THIS IS FOR HABITAT FOR HUMANITY.

SO THESE HOMES WILL GO TOWARDS THAT PROGRAM AND THAT, UM, THAT ORGANIZATION.

AND IN 2017, THE CITY COUNCIL REZONED THIS PROPERTY FROM MIXED USE TO SF TWO IN ORDER TO FACILITATE THIS DEVELOPMENT.

OH, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING.

AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS AS WELL AS, UM, MS. UH, SANDY, SHE IS WITH HABITAT FOR HUMANITY.

AND I THINK WE'RE GONNA HOLD OUR QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS UNTIL WE GET TO FOUR E, THE PLATINUM FOUR E 'CAUSE IT'S DIRECTLY RELATED.

IS THAT OKAY? WITH COMMISSION? SO WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST IS YOU GO AHEAD AND, AND JUST HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND AND YOU CAN DISCUSS THE VARIANCE.

AND THEN RIGHT AFTER THAT YOU CAN LOOK AT THE ACTUAL SUBDIVISION OF THE PLAT AND APPROVE THE PLAT.

NOT WAIT UNTIL WE BEGIN TO PLA.

DO I HAVE A MOTION? DO I HEAR A MOTION TO APPROVE THE VARIANCE? OKAY.

SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? THANK YOU.

WE CAN MOVE TO ITEM FOUR E, THE PLAT TO CONSIDER APPROVING THEIER CROSSING FINAL PLAT ADDRESS AS 1515 NORTH EIGHTH STREET.

SAME, UH, SAME SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL.

DO I HEAR A MOTION TO APPROVE THE PLAT? SO MOVED.

A SECOND.

SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? A.

ALL OPPOSED? ANY OPPOSED? DID MITCHELL VOTE? PARDON? DID MITCHELL VOTE? AYE.

NOW TO PLATZ AND WE CONSIDER FOUR A CONSIDER APPROVING THE BAY CREEK GENERAL BAKER CREEK GENERAL PLAN LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 2000 FEET NORTH OF VILLE ROAD AND EAST OF NORTH MAIN STREET.

DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSION? MOTION

[00:05:01]

CARRIES.

NO, THANK YOU.

WE MOVE

[a. Consider approving the Bay Creek General Plan located approximately 2,000 feet north of Wallisville Road and east of North Main Street.]

THANK YOU, HAROLD.

MADAM CHAIR, CELL PHONE HERE, MADAM CHAIR.

UM, THIS IS A GENERAL PLAN FOR AN UP, UH, NEW PROPOSED, UH, HOUSING SUBDIVISION.

AS YOU SEE ON THE VICINITY MAP, IT IS NORTH OF VILLE AND EAST OF NORTH MAINE.

IF YOU KIND OF KNOW WHERE MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL IS LOCATED, IT'S ALMOST ACROSS THE ROAD FROM THERE, YOU'LL SEE.

AND I'M GONNA GO NOW TO THE OVERALL SITE PLAN FOR THE GENERAL PLAN.

UM, I WILL TELL YOU THAT THIS ENTIRE AREA IS UNDER, UH, THE PROSPECT OF ANNEXATION AND THE NEED FOR A CHANGE IN THE ZONING.

AND ALSO THE CITY AND THE DEVELOPER ARE WORKING ON, UH, RESTRICTIONS FOR THE ACTUAL, UH, BUILD OUT OF THE SUBDIVISION.

SO SOME OF THOSE THINGS WILL BE OCCURRING, UH, OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS, BUT THE APPLICANT WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND KIND OF GIVE AN OVERALL LAYOUT OF THE POSSIBILITY OF, OF THE GENERAL PLAN.

SO, UM, WE DO PRESENT THIS GENERAL PLAN TO YOU, AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? DO I HEAR A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS, UM, PLOT? SO MOVED A SEC.

MOTION TO APPROVE THE BAKERY CREEK GENERAL PLAN IS APPROVED.

MOVING

[b. Consider approving Ashbel Crossing Section Five Final Plat located approximately 5,000 feet north of Wallisville Road and west of Garth Road within the Ashbel Crossing Subdivision.]

TO PLAT TWO B, CONSIDER I APPROVING ASHEVILLE CROSSING SECTION FIVE, FINAL PLAT LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 5,000 FEET NORTH OF VILLE ROAD AND WEST OF GARTH ROAD WITHIN THE ASHEVILLE CROSSING SUBDIVISION.

IN PAST, UH, MONTHS OF, WE HAVE BROUGHT UP MANY PLATS FROM THE FRIENDSWOOD DEVELOPMENT, UH, UH, NORTH OF, OF, UH, VILLE ALSO, BUT WEST OF GARTH ROAD, UH, THERE ARE LIKE FOUR LARGE, UH, UH, SECTIONS OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND ASHEVILLE CROSSING.

UM, YOU CAN TELL HERE IS THE GENERAL PLAN JUST FOR ASHEVILLE CROSSING, AND THE SECTION FIVE THAT YOU'RE CONSIDERING TONIGHT IS ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THIS, UH, GENERAL PLAN.

SO THE DEVELOPER HAS, HAS DONE THE INFRASTRUCTURE UP TO A POINT OF WHERE THE CITY AGREES THAT THEY ARE BONDABLE, UH, THEY HAVE COMPLETED THEIR WATER AND THEIR SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THEY'RE WELL PAST THE, OR THEY'RE PAST THE 50% THAT'S NEEDED TO BE BONDABLE ON THE STREETS.

SO HAVING SAID THAT, OUR, UH, OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY RECOMMENDS APPROVAL FOR THIS SUBDIVISION FOR FINAL PLAT CONSIDERATION, UH, BASED UPON THE BOND BEING, UH, UH, BEING USED, UTILIZED, IF NECESSARY TO COMPLETE THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? DO I HEAR A MOTION TO APPROVE SECTION FIVE OF ASHEVILLE CROSSING? SO MOVED.

ANY SECOND? SECOND.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO CREATE THREE LOTS, ONE RESERVE, ONE BLOCK, ALONG

[00:10:01]

I DUNNO IF I CAN, I CAN'T HIGHLIGHT IT, BUT THEY'RE PROPOSING TO DEDICATE THE RIGHT AWAY.

IT HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY OUR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE AND RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER ON BAY 10? I I HAVE A QUESTION.

I KNOW IN THAT AREA THERE HAVE BEEN CONCERNS ABOUT DRAINAGE.

UM, ARE THERE ANY ENGINEERING ISSUES THAT THEY FACE REGARDING DRAINAGE? I WILL LEAVE THAT UP TO OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.

IS SOMEONE HERE? OH, GOOD.

THIS IS IRWIN BURDEN.

UM, WE'LL BE EVALUATING.

WE, WE CAN ADDRESS THOSE AT THE TIME OF THEIR FINAL DESIGN AND, UH, THAT IS NOT BEING EVALUATED DURING THE PLATING PROCESS, BUT, UH, IT'LL BE DONE DURING THE FINAL DESIGN.

DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE? I'D MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

HI.

SORRY, I FORGOT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF.

I'M HELEN LAND THE PLANNER, ONE .

ON THIS PLAT, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO CREATE THREE LOTS.

LET ME GET HERE.

THREE LOTS, ONE BLOCK ALONG WITH THE DEDICATION OF THE RIGHT OF WAY.

AGAIN, OUR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE HAS REVIEWED THE APPLICATION AND RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE FINAL PLAT.

ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? SAME QUESTION REGARDING DRAINAGE.

UM, IN THAT AREA, YES, WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT AS WELL, BUT, UM, IT'LL BE DONE, IT'LL BE HANDLED DURING THE FINAL DESIGN AS WELL.

UM, WE DON'T ADDRESS THAT DURING THE, UH, MARTIN, UH, THE PLATING PROCESS, DO THEY HAVE A, A GENERAL CONSENSUS OF WHERE THE CONVEYANCE OF WATER WILL GO FROM THAT LOCATION? I HAVEN'T GOT THE INFORMATION IN FRONT OF ME, BUT I CAN GET BACK WITH YOU ON THAT.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

UM, JUST INFORMATION FOR COMMISSIONERS.

UM, WE ORDINARILY DON'T REVIEW THAT, THAT INFORMATION DURING THE PLATING PROCESS THAT DOES COME AFTER THE PLAT IS, UH, COMPLETED.

UH, BECAUSE IT'S OF MORE OF A TECHNICAL NATURE THAN WHAT WE ORDINARILY TAKE CARE OF DURING THIS PROCESS.

UM, JUST FYI.

ANY OTHER? AND MY CONCERN IS, IS CUMULATIVE.

THAT THAT'S AN AREA THAT'S LIKELY TO SEE QUITE A BIT OF IMPROVEMENT IN THE FUTURE.

AND I'M JUST CON CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT THE CONVEYANCE OF WATER WILL BE AS THIS DEVELOPS OUT.

I, WE, WE'LL SEE THIS AGAIN, WON'T WE? OR WILL WE IT'LL GO TO CITY COUNCIL.

THE, THE PLAT ITSELF? YES.

NO, YOU WILL NOT SEE THE PLAT AGAIN.

SO, AND, AND, AND WHEN WE GET INTO THE, THE AS, UM, MR. BURDEN WAS MENTIONING, WHEN WE GET INTO THE, THE, UM, THE, THE TECHNICAL DRAWINGS AT A LATER DATE, THAT'LL BE UP TO STAFF TO, UM, APPROVE JUST BASED ON WHETHER THEY MEET THE REGULATIONS OR NOT.

UM, BUT THEY, BUT THEY WILL.

UM, I KNOW THEY WILL BE VIEWED IN A CUMULATIVE MANNER.

WE, WE DO, I KNOW ENGINEERING DOES A, A, A VERY THOROUGH JOB IN REVIEWING THOSE ITEMS AND, AND SEEING KIND OF WHAT'S GOING ON, UH, IN THE AREA IN GENERAL.

SO IT IS NOT VIEWED, UH, JUST IN AND OF ITSELF, BUT, BUT, UH, OF THE, THE ENTIRE AREA AS IT PROGRESSES.

OKAY? SO THERE ARE A LOT OF STEPS THAT HAVE TO BE TAKEN BEFORE THIS ACTUALLY COMES TO FRUITION, A REAL PROJECT.

AND WE ARE JUST APPROVING THE PLAT.

WE'RE CONSIDERING THE PLAT.

WHERE IS THE EXACT LOCATION OF THIS ALONG THE PARKWAY? GI? THIS IS OPEN.

IF YOU WANNA OPEN THAT VICINITY, WHO'S IN THAT LITTLE CORNER? DON'T HAVE AN ADDRESS FOR ONE.

THAT'S IT RIGHT THERE.

[00:15:01]

IS THAT YOUR ANSWER? YOU GOT YOUR ANSWER? YES.

MM-HMM.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MAY I HEAR A MOTION? MOTION TO APPROVE.

ANY OPPOSED? A SIR? HOW DO, HOW DO YOU VOTE? MITCHELL, DO YOU VOTE IN FAVOR? IN FAVOR? YES.

YES, SIR.

ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES.

[a. Conduct the second public hearing concerning a request to amend the official zoning map to rezone approximately 140.48 acres, generally located south of Interstate Highway 10 and east of Crosby Cedar Bayou Road from Open space/recreation (OR) to Livable center (LC) zoning district.]

WE MOVE ON TO OUR ZONING, AND WE HAVE TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS THIS EVENING.

AND I'LL READ THIS ONE TIME FOR BOTH PUBLIC HEARINGS.

THE PUBLIC HEARINGS TODAY ARE BEING HELD FOR THE PURPOSE OF GIVING ALL INTERESTED PARTIES THE RIGHT TO SPEAK AND TO BE HEARD.

EVERYONE DESIRING TO SPEAK AT TODAY'S PUBLIC HEARING SHOULD HAVE EITHER SIGNED THE APPROPRIATE LIST IN THE FOYER OR EMAILED PLANNING@BAYTOWN.ORG.

PRIOR TO THE POSTED TIME OF THIS MEETING, EACH SPEAKER SHALL GIVE HIS OR HER NAME AND ADDRESS IN ORDER AND ADDRESS, IN ORDER TO PROVIDE A PROPER RECORD OF THIS HEARING.

THE RULES ALLOW EACH SPEAKER THREE MINUTES TO PRESENT INFORMATION.

HOWEVER, I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO BE AS BRIEF AND TO THE POINT AS POSSIBLE.

IF YOU ARE A GROUP OF PERSONS WISHING TO ADDRESS THE THE COMMISSION ON THE SAME SUBJECT, PLEASE SELECT A SPOKESPERSON TO PRESENT THE INFORMATION.

IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE DIRECT THEM TO ME AND I'LL DIRECT THEM TO STAFF.

THANK YOU, .

UM, OUR FIRST PUBLIC HEARING, UM, IS FIVE.

UH, FIRST ZONING PUBLIC HEARING IS TO CONDUCT THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING CONCERNING A REQUEST TO AMEND THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY 140.48 ACRES, GENERALLY LOCATED SOUTH OF INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 10 AND EAST OF CROSBY, CEDAR BAY ROAD FROM OPEN SPACE, RECREATIONAL OR DESIGNATION TO LIVABLE CENTER, THE LC ZONING DISTRICT.

THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.

UH, COMMISSIONERS, EMILIO VARRIO PLANNER TWO, UH, PLANNING DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

UH, SO JUST A REMINDER, UH, THE TWO PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS ON THE AGENDA THIS EVENING ARE, UH, RELATED ITEMS, UH, THE PUT AND THE, UM, UH, IS THE OVERLAY, UH, ON TOP OF THE LC ZONING DISTRICT.

AND THEN WE'LL GET INTO THAT.

KIND OF A HODGEPODGE OF, OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

UM, BUT JUST TO GET OUR BEARINGS, THIS IS A LOCATION MAP.

AGAIN, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, UH, IS A LONG, THE IT 10 FRONTAGE ROAD, UM, SOUTH OF THAT AND EAST OF CROSBY, CEDAR BAYOU ROAD.

UH, SOME ADDITIONAL, UM, AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY, UH, FROM GOOGLE, LOOKING AT THIS PROPERTY FROM THE SOUTHEAST, JUST SO YOU CAN BE FAMILIAR.

SOME, UH, SOME GROUND SHOTS OF WHERE THIS IS AND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE CURRENTLY.

UH, SO THIS IS THE PROPOSAL, LAND PLAN ASPECT OF THE PUD.

UH, JUST A REMINDER, UH, AGAIN, THAT THE PUD, UH, IS AN OVERLAY ON TOP OF THE LIVABLE CENTER, UH, ZONING DISTRICT THAT ALLOWS THE PROJECT.

UH, AND A PUD OVERLAY ALLOWS THE PROJECT, UH, TO ACHIEVE SOME UNIQUE OBJECTIVES WITH THE DEVELOPMENT, UH, THAT IS OTHERWISE NOT ACHIEVABLE WITH CONVENTIONAL ZONING.

UH, ADDITIONALLY, WHENEVER THE P DOES NOT SPECIFIC SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS, UH, A DEVELOPMENT STANDARD, IT WOULD FALL DOWN TO THE UNDERLYING ZONING DISTRICT, UH, TO REGULATE THE MATTER.

UH, THE PROJECT, AS YOU CAN SEE, PROPOSES A VARIETY OF USES, UM, ABOUT 35, 34 ACRES OF COMMERCIAL LAND ALONG THE FRONTAGE AND ALONG CROSBY, CEDAR BAYOU ROAD.

UM, 119, SINGLE FAMILY LOTS, 151 DETACHED TOWN HOME LOTS, UH, 184 ATTACHED TOWN HOME LOTS AND 350 APARTMENT UNITS IS WHAT IS PROPOSED IN THIS LAND PLAN.

UH, THIS IS A VIEW OF EXISTING LAND USES IN THE VICINITY OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE IS A VARIETY OF OF USES IN THE AREA.

UM, AN EXISTING TRUCK STOP AT THE CORNER OF NORTH MAINE AND I 10 APARTMENT COMPLEX TO THE WEST.

UM, A RETAIL AND DISTRIBUTION.

THE BREAD STORE, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH IT, ALONG NORTH MAIN STREET.

UM, THE LARGE CHURCH, I BELIEVE THAT'S FAITH FAMILY.

UM, SOME, SOME SMALL LARGE LOT OF STATE RESIDENTIAL SPRINKLED THROUGHOUT THE AREA.

AND THEN SOME LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ALONG THE, UM, I 10 FRONTAGE.

OVERALL, THE AREA DOES LACK, UH, ANY SUBSTANTIAL OR DEFINING CHARACTER.

IT'S

[00:20:01]

UM, BUT THE PUD, UH, IN OUR OPINION WOULD, UH, POTENTIALLY SERVE AS A CATALYST AND OPEN UP DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES, UM, IN THE AREA, UH, AND TO BEGIN TO MAKE THIS CORRIDOR MORE OF A DESTINATION.

AS YOU CAN SEE, UM, THERE'S SOME OPEN SPACE RECREATION THAT'S A MAJORITY OF THE LAND THAT IS, HAS NO USE OR IS NOT HAVE ANY CHARACTER CONTRIBUTING TO THE CORRIDOR.

UH, THE REQUEST IS GENERALLY, GENERALLY CONSISTENT WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE FLUTE MAP, UM, TECT, THE, UM, THE, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WITH ABOUT THREE DIFFERENT, UH, FUTURE LAND USE TYPES MM-HMM .

BUSINESS PARK, COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR, AND, UH, HIGHER DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

SO IT LENDS ITSELF, UH, TO SUGGEST THAT THIS PROPERTY IS SUITABLE FOR MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE OF HAVING SO MANY, UH, FUTURE LAND USE PLACE TYPES ON THIS, UH, ONE PARTICULAR PROPERTY.

I'LL JUST GO THROUGH SOME OF THE EXHIBITS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT OF, OF THE LOOK AND FEEL AND NATURE OF THE PUT OF WHAT THE INTENT IS, UH, FOR THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT.

UH, SOME OF THE AMENITIES, UH, THAT YOU CAN, YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO FIND THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT, UH, WHAT THE LANDSCAPING WOULD LOOK LIKE, UH, TRAIL SYSTEM.

AND THIS IS REALLY TO ILLUSTRATE THAT THIS IS A, UM, A COHESIVE AND CONNECTED DEVELOPMENT THAT THE USERS ARE SUPPOSED TO COMMINGLE AND INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER WITH THIS VERY COMPREHENSIVE, UH, TRAILS PLAN.

WHAT YOU COULD, UH, EXPECT ALONG THE FREEWAY, FRONTAGES SOME, UH, THE MULTIFAMILY, THIS IS WHAT IT WOULD GENERALLY LOOK LIKE.

DETA OR ATTACHED TOWN HOMES, THE DETACHED TOWN HOME PRODUCT, AND THE SINGLE FAMILY PRODUCT.

UH, BUT THE APPLICANT HAS, UH, DESIRES TO GIVE A PRESENTATION AS WELL.

SO WE WILL DO THAT AT THIS TIME, IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

AND THEN AFTER THAT, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE ARE AVAILABLE.

ALL RIGHT.

THIS PUBLIC HEARING IS OFFICIALLY OPENED AND WE HAVE A FEW PEOPLE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK AND I'LL CALL BY NAME.

UM, CATHERINE PARKER.

YEP.

SO CATHERINE IS, UH, WITH THE APPLICANT AND SO SHE'LL MAKE THIS PRESENTATION.

I'M CATHERINE PARKER WITH META PLANNING.

GOOD EVENING.

UM, I WAS HERE AT THE LAST MEETING AND GAVE THIS PRESENTATION, SO SOME OF THIS WILL PROBABLY LOOK THE SAME, BUT I JUST WANTED TO GIVE A LITTLE REFRESHER AS WE GO THROUGH IT.

UM, SO AS AMELIA SAID, WE'RE PROPOSING A PUD FOR THIS TRACT, UH, ALONG I 10.

AND WHAT WE'RE GONNA INCLUDE IS A, A MIX OF LAND USES TO ADHERE TO THE LIVABLE CENTER, UM, BASED ZONING DISTRICT THAT IS BEING PROPOSED.

WHAT WE'RE, UH, INTENDING TO DO IS HAVE A MIX OF SOME COMMERCIAL, PRIMARILY ALONG I 10 AND THEN MULTIFAMILY, UM, AND THEN TRANSITIONING INTO SOME VARIETY OF SINGLE FAMILY PRODUCT, BOTH ATTACHED AND DETACHED DOWN HOMES.

AND THEN YOUR MORE TRADITIONAL SINGLE FAMILY.

UH, HERE WE'RE TRYING TO HIGHLIGHT THE AMOUNT OF AMENITY FOR THE TRACT.

WE WILL HAVE A LARGE LAKE DETECTION DETENTION AREA THAT WILL HAVE A TRAIL SYSTEM AROUND THE PERIMETER OF IT THAT'LL BE ABLE TO BE UTILIZED BY THE DEVELOPMENT.

AND THEN IT'S CONNECTED TO ADDITIONAL TRAILS THROUGH THE RESIDENTIAL COMPONENTS.

AND THEN ONTO THE OTHER USES THE COMMERCIAL AND THE MULTIFAMILY.

THERE'S ALSO GOING TO BE A PARK AS A PART OF THE SINGLE FAMILY, UH, RESIDENTIAL THAT'LL HAVE AMENITIES ITSELF, PLAYGROUND AND, UM, AND OTHER ITEMS THAT ARE ADDRESSED WITHIN THE DOCUMENT.

HERE'S SOME OF THE IMAGES JUST CONCEPTUALLY OF WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE HAVING THE PLAYGROUND.

AND THEN THE POOL, THE, UH, LAKE, LIKE I SAID, WE'LL HAVE A TRAIL AROUND IT.

FOUNTAIN, UH, SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF LANDSCAPING.

A LOT OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS ARE OUTLINED WITHIN THE DOCUMENT.

THERE'S REQUIREMENTS FOR, UM, THE PLANTING.

WE'VE PROVIDED A PLANTING PALLET OF WHAT TYPES OF, UH, LANDSCAPING WILL BE INCLUDED, AND REQUIREMENTS PROVIDING MINIMUMS FACING FOR, UM, BENCHES AND LIGHTING AND ALL THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE GOT A HIGH QUALITY DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL, UM, REALLY BE SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR THE AREA.

WE'VE ALSO PROVIDED SOME PRELIMINARY RENDERINGS OF SIGNAGE AND FENCING THAT'LL HELP TO GIVE, UM, AN OVERALL LOOK FOR THE PROJECT THROUGHOUT THE VARIOUS LAND USES.

AND ALSO JUST TO HAVE A SENSE OF ARRIVAL FOR, UM, ANYONE COMING INTO THIS DEVELOPMENT.

THIS IS SOME CONCEPTS FOR, UM, THE COMMERCIAL THAT WOULD BE LOCATED ALONG I 10.

IT WOULD BE YOUR TRADITIONAL RETAIL WHERE YOU'D HAVE, UM, RESTAURANTS AND JUST NEIGHBORHOOD

[00:25:01]

RETAIL TYPE USES.

HERE'S SOME IMAGES OF THE PROPOSED MULTIFAMILY.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S REALLY NICE ABOUT THIS PROJECT IS THAT IT'S PROPOSING QUITE A FEW AMENITIES SPECIFIC TO THE MULTIFAMILY COMPONENT.

THERE'S GONNA BE, UM, FIRE PIT AND OUTDOOR AREAS, PICNIC TABLES, UM, POOL.

SO SOME OF THE, THE TRADITIONAL STUFF THAT YOU SEE.

BUT THEN THINGS IN ADDITION, THERE'S GONNA BE A DOG PARK AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO IT CREATES A LOT OF UNIQUE AREAS, EVEN JUST WITHIN THAT SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT.

AND THEN THAT'S ALL IN ADDITION TO THE ENHANCED LAND OR MATERIALS FOR, UM, THE BUILDINGS AND ARCHITECTURAL ARTICULATION AND A LOT OF COMPONENTS JUST TO ENSURE THAT THE AESTHETICS WILL BE, UM, HIGH QUALITY.

HERE'S SOME RENDERINGS OF THE PROPOSED DET OR ATTACHED TOWN HOME PRODUCT AND THE VARIOUS, UM, ELEVATIONS TO CREATE A UNIQUE STREET SCAPE.

UH, THERE WILL BE ALLEY PRODUCT FOR THESE, SO YOU'LL HAVE, UH, REAR GARAGES AND ALLEYS FOR ACCESS TO THE, THE GARAGES.

AND THEN THE FRONT WILL ALLOW FOR, UM, PRIMARILY PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION AND VISITORS.

AND THERE WILL BE SOME VISITOR PARKING SCATTERED THROUGHOUT FOR THAT ELEMENT.

AND THEN HERE WE HAVE THE DETACHED TOWN HOME COMPONENT.

UH, THAT'LL BE LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPOSED LAKE.

AND SO THIS, AGAIN, HAS A LOT OF REQUIREMENTS AS FAR AS THE MATERIALS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND, UM, ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS TO ENSURE THAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF VARIETY AND, UM, A NICE UNIQUE STREET SCAPE THIS PRODUCT.

UM, AND THE ONE WE JUST LOOKED AT ARE BOTH THINGS THAT ARE GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, NEW TO THE AREA, HELP TO PROVIDE A DIFFERENT MARKET FOR, FOR RESIDENTS.

AND WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO SEE, YOU KNOW, THE DRAW THAT, THAT WILL HAVE AND ALSO HELP TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS LIVABLE CENTER MENTALITY THAT WE'VE GOT A MIX OF, UM, DIFFERENT TYPES OF DENSITY AND ALL KIND OF COMES TOGETHER WITH THE OVERALL, UM, TRAILS AND AMENITIES AND, AND AESTHETIC THAT'S UTILIZED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PROJECT.

HERE'S SOME RENDERINGS OF THE MORE TRADITIONAL SINGLE FAMILY PRODUCT THAT WILL HAVE A LOT OF THE SAME STANDARDS.

UM, SO IT HAS A COHESIVENESS THROUGHOUT ALL OF THE RESIDENTIAL COMPONENTS.

AND THEN AGAIN, JUST THE LAND PLAN, UH, FOR REFERENCE.

BUT IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER.

AND, UM, WE JUST REQUEST THAT YOU GUYS CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THIS.

WE THINK IT'LL BE REALLY NEAT, UM, PROJECT FOR THIS AREA.

AND, AND IT'S REALLY CONDUCIVE TO KIND OF WHAT'S BEEN PLANNED WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE FOR, FOR THE, UM, CITY'S MAP.

AND, AND WE JUST THINK THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO INCORPORATE A LOT OF DIFFERENT, UM, DIFFERENT USES, BUT STILL KEEP IT ALL COHESIVE.

SO YEAH, REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL AND, UH, AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? I HAVE ONE QUESTION, AND THIS MAY NOT BE THE TIME TO ASK IT AND YOU MAY NOT EVEN ANSWERS, BUT AS I WAS READING THROUGH THIS INFORMATION TODAY AT HOME, I NOTICED THAT IT SAID THAT, UH, THE BUILDER WAS POSSIBLY REQUESTING, UM, EXTENDING A ROAD ACROSS MAYBE FROM MAINE TO CEDAR BAYOU.

UH, LEMME SEE.

CAN YOU SEE THE MOUSE HERE? SO THIS, IS THIS WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO? YES.

SO THIS ROAD WILL ULTIMATELY BE EXTENDED, AND I BELIEVE WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO IS THERE'S, UM, A REQUIREMENT IN THE DOCUMENT THAT THE SAME, UM, LANDSCAPING AND SIDEWALK STANDARDS WOULD BE HELD ALONG THAT ROAD.

SO YES, THAT'S CORRECT.

SO THAT'LL ULTIMATELY BE DONE.

IT'S NOT PART OF THIS PROPERTY, BUT THOSE SAME STANDARDS WILL BE HELD, SO THERE'LL BE SOME UNITY.

AND I, THE CONCERN AND THE CONCERN I ASKED ABOUT THAT, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

BUT WOULD, WOULD CEDAR BAYOU, UH, CROSBY BE CONSIDERED AS FOR UPGRADE? BECAUSE I'M SORRY, BE CONSIDERED AS WHAT BE CONSIDERED AS BEING UPGRADED AS PART OF THIS TO DO AN UPGRADE? TO DO AN UPGRADE? I, I'LL LET STAFF ANSWER THIS QUESTION.

, RIGHT NOW IT'S A TWO.

JUST, JUST JUST ONE WAY EACH C WAY.

AND, UH, AS, AS WE GET INTO THE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT AND PERMITTING PROCESS, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE PREPARING A TIA THAT MIGHT DICTATE SOME OF THOSE EXTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.

MM-HMM .

UH, ENGINEERING MIGHT HAVE MORE COMMON ON THAT.

AND THEN I'D HAVE TO REFERENCE SOME OF OUR CIP PLANS IN THE AREA.

I KNOW WE'RE TAKING UTILITIES OUT THERE.

UH, AND THEN I CAN'T, I'M NOT SURE OF WHAT OTHER ROADWAY PROJECTS WE HAVE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.

I WASN'T TRYING TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT, BUT NO, NO.

IT HIT HIT ME AS I SAW WHERE THEY WERE ACTUALLY ABOUT A ROAD FROM MAINE TO THERE.

RIGHT.

AND I THOUGHT, WELL, THIS, SEE, THE VALUE NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED ALSO.

AND AS, AS THIS, IF THIS SERVES AS, AS A CATALYST FOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA, THEN THOSE PROJECTS AND IMPROVEMENTS HAVE TO BE LOOKED AT CONSIDERED.

BUT ERWIN, CAN YOU THINK OF ANY, CAN YOU THINK, YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE TO RESEARCH THAT.

MINIMUM LOT WIDTHS? SO, UM, FOR, AND CATHERINE CAN HELP ME OUT.

WHAT ARE THE

[00:30:01]

SO FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY, THE MINIMUM LOT WIDTH WOULD BE 50 FEET.

UH, AND FOR THE DETACHED TOWN HOME IT WOULD BE 30 FEET.

AND FOR THE ATTACHED TOWN HOME IT WOULD BE 20 FEET.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS WE HAVE, UH, MR. TOM ERBACHER ALSO SIGNED UP.

DO YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE THIS UP OR, UM, UNLESS MR. KNICKERBOCKER NEEDS TO USE IT, THAT'D BE FINE.

MY NAME IS TOM KNICKERBOCKER.

I'M A LAND USE ATTORNEY.

I REPRESENT RESTLESS LLC.

IT'S A LITTLE TRACKED ADJACENT TO THIS DEVELOPMENT ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER, THE 3.6 ACRE TRACT.

IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

UH, IT'S THE WESTERN PART OF WHAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GONNA BE AN INDUSTRIAL PARK BECAUSE OUR NEIGHBORS ARE INDUSTRIAL AS WELL.

THERE'S A LITTLE ISSUE IN THE ZONING, UH, ORDINANCE THAT CONCERNS US, AND THAT IS THAT LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, IF IT ABUTS ANYTHING OTHER THAN LIGHT INDUSTRIAL IS IMPOSED WITH AN EXTRA SETBACK OF 25 FEET.

OUR CURRENT, UH, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL REQUIRES FIVE FEET.

UH, OUR TRACT IS GOT PLANS TO, TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND GROW ADJACENT TO US.

ON THE WEST SIDE IS THAT GREEN BELT THAT IS IN THIS DEVELOPMENT.

AND I WE'D LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT YOU AND I BELIEVE TEXAS LAW SUPPORTS IT, THAT YOU COULD, UH, WAIVER THAT 25 FOOT SETBACK AS IT AS IT AFFECTS A NON APPLICANT.

'CAUSE WE'RE NOT APPLYING FOR ANYTHING RIGHT NOW.

UH, AND THUS WE WOULD BE, UH, WE, WE WOULD ENJOY THE FIVE FEET THAT WE NOW HAVE.

IT WOULDN'T CHANGE ANY OF THE STANDARDS FOR OUR DEVELOPMENT OR OUR OPERATIONS OR THE PERMITS THAT WE WOULD GET.

UH, BUT IT WOULD ALLOW US TO USE THE PROPERTY CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING, UH, FOR PARKING AND SOME OTHER ACTIVITIES.

AND IT'LL BE IMPROVED AS, AS THIS AREA DEVELOPS WITH SCREENING.

AND, UH, WE, UH, WE'D LIKE, I THINK YOU COULD DO THIS IN THE, IN THE PUD ORDINANCE TO ALLOW THAT, UH, WE HAVE LOOKED AT VARIANCES.

THE PROBLEM IS YOU REALLY HAVE TO BE DOING SOMETHING BEFORE YOU GO GET A VARIANCE.

AND WE'RE ALREADY THERE.

UH, AND ORDINANCES CHANGE, PEOPLE CHANGE, BOARDS CHANGE, AND IT, IT CREATES A RISK THAT INVOLVES OUR TITLE.

YOU KNOW, IT COULD ALL, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.

MR. KNICKERBOCKER, THIS IS ACTUALLY IS NOT ON THE AGENDA.

THIS IS NOT PART OF THIS PUD YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT YOUR CLIENT'S PROPERTY, WHICH IS ADJACENT TO IT, BUT IT'S NOT AFFECTING IT.

SO IT'S, WE CAN TALK TO YOU LATER ABOUT, ABOUT YOUR, YOUR CLIENT'S PROPERTY, BUT THAT'S NOT PART OF THIS PUD.

WHAT I'M ASKING YOU TO DO IS CONSIDER WAIVING THAT SETBACK IN THE ORDINANCE THAT AFFECTS YOUR PRO THE PROPERTY YOU ARE HEARING, YOU'RE ASKING IT TO BE WAIVED ON YOUR CLIENT'S PROPERTY, NOT THIS PROPERTY.

WELL, IT'S AN, IT'S, YOU COULD WAIVE IT IN THE PUD THAT IT DOESN'T APPLY TO THE WESTERN, TO THE EASTERN BOUNDARY IN MY OPINION.

I MEAN, WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE APPLYING FOR A VARIANCE TODAY BECAUSE WE HAVE A LAND USE.

RIGHT.

AND IT'S BEING TAKEN AWAY.

RIGHT.

AGAIN, THAT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA FOR TODAY.

WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE PUD.

YOU'RE ASKING FOR A WAIVER ON YOUR CLIENT'S PROPERTY, WHICH IS NOT SUBJECT TO TODAY'S HEARING.

WELL, MAYBE YOU CAN ADVISE US WHAT TO DO NEXT, THEN I'LL BE GLAD TO TALK TO YOU, TO YOU AFTERWARDS IF YOU'D LIKE.

THAT WHOLE A HUNDRED FEET.

WHAT ARE THE RULES ON MUDDING UP INDUSTRIAL AND RESIDENTIAL? SO IF THE, IF THE PROPERTY ZONED LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TO THE, TO THE EAST, THOSE PROPERTIES.

UM, BECAUSE IF WE, IF WE GO TO THE, IF WE GO TO THE ZONING MAP, PROBABLY GIVE US A BETTER IDEA.

SO, I MEAN, IF THIS IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, IT'S ALREADY ZONE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

SO THERE'S, THERE'S MECHANISMS IN THE ORDINANCES AND THE CODES, UM, SOME BUFFERING THAT'S REQUIRED.

UM, IF THEY'RE MAKING IMPROVEMENTS, UH, YOU KNOW, EXPANDING THE FOOTPRINT OF THEIR, OF THEIR OPERAT, OF THEIR EXISTING OPERATION AS THEY EXIST CURRENTLY, THEY CAN OPERATE AS THEY'VE BEEN DOING.

UM, BUT IT'S WHEN YOU START MAKING SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES TO, TO THAT, UH, TO THAT PROPERTY, WHEN YOU HAVE TO COME IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE BUFFERING REQUIREMENTS.

SO FOR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ZONE PROPERTY, IT'S A HUNDRED FOOT BUILDING SETBACK, AND THEN A 50 FEET OF OPEN SPACE, UH, OR 50 FOOT OF VEGETATIVE BUFFER ALONG THAT, THE BOUNDARY.

AND THEN ANOTHER 50 FOOT OF OPEN SPACE.

SO, SO THAT ENCOMPASSES

[00:35:01]

THAT EXISTING LIGHT INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS CAN BE BASICALLY SHUT DOWN BECAUSE NO, THEY CAN CONTINUE TO DO WHAT THEY'RE DOING, BUT IF THEY, IF THEY DEVELOP ANY MORE, ANY CHANGES WOULD BRING THEM WHERE THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW CURRENT INTO THE CURRENT STANDARD.

SO IF THEY WANT TO PROPOSE SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES AND IN ADDITIONS TO THEIR BUILDINGS OR, OR IMPROVEMENTS ON THEIR PROPERTY, THEN WE NEED TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CURRENT ZONING ORDINANCE AT THAT POINT.

IT WILL START AFFECTING THEM IN A NEGATIVE WAY.

YES.

I MEAN, IF THAT, IF THAT'S HOW IT'S, IF THAT'S HOW YOU VIEW IT.

BUT THEY'RE ALLOWED TO OPERATE AS THEY ARE CURRENTLY AS THEY'VE BEEN OPERATING.

THE, THE, THE ADDITION OF THE ZONING DOESN'T CHANGE BECAUSE IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED OR RIGHT NOW.

SO IF THEY WANTED TO DO THOSE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE FUTURE, THE OR ZONING DESIGNATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ALREADY REQUIRES THE BUFFERING THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

SO GOING FROM OR TO LC DOESN'T NECESSARILY CHANGE THE DYNAMIC OF, OF THEIR SITUATION.

IF, IF THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT IT, THEY SHOULD HAVE APPROACHED THIS LANDOWNERS AND BOUGHT THE PROPERTY.

REALLY, IT WAS WHAT, WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO.

I, I THINK IT'S, IT'S IMPORTANT TO, TO POINT OUT AS WELL, THAT IF THE, IF THIS GENTLEMAN'S, UH, CLIENT DOES WANT TO DO ANY KIND OF EXPANSION IN THE FUTURE, THEN WHAT THEY'LL NEED TO DO IS COME BACK TO THIS BODY AND, AND ASK FOR THAT VARIANCE FROM THAT OR FROM THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, DEPENDING ON WHERE THAT, THAT, UM, UH, DEPENDING ON WHERE THAT REGULATION IS FOUND IN OUR REG, IN OUR CODES.

UM, SO, BUT, AND, AND I THINK AT THAT TIME, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO MAKE A PRETTY GOOD CASE TO SAY, OKAY, WE, WE KNOW THAT, THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE THEN.

BUT AGAIN, BECAUSE WE DON'T, WE DON'T HAVE ANY REAL CONTROL.

WE, WE DON'T, WE DIDN'T POST FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THAT PARTICULAR PARCEL TONIGHT.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN REALLY DO MUCH WITH, I THINK IS, IS WHAT I HEARD FROM LEGAL.

WELL, IF THEIR INVESTMENT CAN BE PROTECTED NOW, WHY WOULDN'T WE DO THAT AGAIN? BECAUSE THIS PARTICULAR, THE AGREEMENT THAT HAPPENS, UM, THROUGH THE PUD AND THROUGH ALL THE OTHER DOCUMENTS THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH, WITH THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT, IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY AUTHORITY OVER THAT, OVER THE, THE, THE PARCEL NEXT DOOR.

SO AGAIN, THIS ISN'T ON THE AGENDA.

WHAT HE'S ASKING FOR IS A, A DEVIATION FROM THE SETBACKS, THE SIDE SETBACKS ADJACENT TO THIS PROPERTY THAT WOULD BE SETBACKS ON HIS PROPERTY.

THAT PROPERTY IS NOT SUBJECT TO TODAY'S HEARING.

WE'RE ONLY TALKING ABOUT THIS PROPERTY SUBJECT TO THE PUD.

AND HE WOULD BE PROTECTED IF THE CURRENT DEVELOPER ASKED FOR THE, ON THE PROPERTY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT FOR THAT VARIANCE FOR A SETBACK.

BUT THIS DEVELOPMENT DIRECTLY AFFECTS HIS, DEVELOP, HIS PROPERTY AND PROPERTY RIGHTS SHOULD BE ED.

SO AGAIN, WE'RE ONLY TALKING ABOUT THE PD.

HIS PROPERTY IS ADJACENT TO IT.

IF HE NEEDS TO GET ANY SORT OF VARIANCE OR WHATEVER, THAT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING AT A LATER DATE.

AND SO MR ON THE AGENDA CAN TALK TO THE CITY AFTER TONIGHT? CORRECT.

HE CAN CONTACT THE CITY AND SPEAK TO THEM ABOUT DOING A VARIANCE ON HIS PROPERTY AT ANY TIME AFTER.

AND, AND I GUESS TO CLARIFY, SO NO RELIEF CAN BE PROVIDED IN THIS PD DOCUMENT FOR A PROPERTY THAT'S OUTSIDE OF THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PD, IF, IF IT MAKES ANY MORE, SO HE CAN STILL COME BACK AND ASK FOR A VARIANCE FOR HIS PROPERTY.

IF IT MAKES ANY MORE SENSE.

THINK OF IT.

IF THEY WERE DOING THE OPPOSITE AND THE FOLKS THAT WERE DEVELOPING THIS PUD PROJECT NEEDED A VARIANCE FROM THAT SAME TYPE OF, OF REGULATION, THEN THAT WOULD BE WITHIN THE REALM OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT TONIGHT.

BECAUSE IT IS OUTSIDE THAT BOUNDARY.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DEAL WITH TONIGHT.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? KIND OF.

THAT'S KIND OF, SORT OF OKAY.

COMMISSIONERS.

I, I WILL POINT OUT THAT ON THE, UH, MASTER LAND USE PLAN, UH, THAT'S IN THE PACKET FOR THE PUD, THAT PROPERTY BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE INDUSTRIAL TRACK AND THIS TRACK, UH, THERE IS A 110 FOOT WIDE, UH, BUFFER SEPARATION THAT WILL CONTAIN, UH, LANDSCAPING, UH, TREES AND, AND SOME FENCING TO PROVIDE THAT SOUND ATTENUATION, UH, BETWEEN THE TWO, BETWEEN THE TWO USES.

SO THE DEVELOPERS DID TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN THEY DESIGNED THEIR PROJECT THAT THEY DID KNOW, THEY WERE AWARE THAT THERE WAS AN INDUSTRIAL, UH, USE ADJACENT TO IT.

SO THEY DID INCLUDE THAT BUFFERING, UH, IN THERE.

AND IT IS A, UH, A BIG DRAINAGE,

[00:40:01]

A BIG DRAINAGE WAY.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT THEY CONSTRUCTED, BUT THEY TOOK THAT AND USED THAT TO PROVIDE SOME, UH, SOME ADDITIONAL SPACING.

AS LONG AS WE, UM, HAVE A REMEDY FOR MR. OCKER TO COME BACK AND BE ABLE TO TALK TO THE CITY TO ADDRESS HIS, HIS PROPERTY DIRECTLY FOR A WAIVER.

DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANY, ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC ON ZOOM OR IN THE AUDIENCE? THIS IS MITCHELL.

I HAVE A QUESTION.

I NOTICED IN THE DOCUMENTATION THEY TALKED ABOUT A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.

UM, AND I LIKE THE PLANS.

THE PLANS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND I, I'M CURIOUS WHAT THEIR TIMELINES ARE FOR ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION, BECAUSE I LOOKED A LITTLE BIT INTO BAY 10.

I COULDN'T SEE ANY HISTORY FROM THEM OTHER THAN A SIMILAR DEVELOPMENT THAT THEY GOT APPROVED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.

BUT IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE ANY CONSTRUCTION HAS OCCURRED.

SO THE DOCUMENT, THE PD DOCUMENT CONTAINS, UM, SOME PHASING LANGUAGE THAT WOULD, UH, IS OUR ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM FOR ENFORCING WHAT IMPROVEMENTS HAPPEN WHEN, UH, IT'S NOT SPECIFIC TO REQUIRED TIMING.

UM, I, IN A MEETING, UH, WITH THE CITY COUNCIL, UH, LAST WEEK, THE DEVELOPMENT MANAGER HAD INDICATED THAT THEY WANT TO START MOVING, UH, AS QUICKLY AS, AS LATER THIS YEAR IN THE SUMMER AND THE FALL.

UM, BUT I THINK THE APPLICANTS ARE HERE AND THEY CAN SPEAK ON THAT TOPIC AS WELL.

MY A APOLOGY, I DIDN'T HEAR, UM, MITCHELL'S QUESTION.

WHAT WAS IT HE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE, THE TIMING? UH, HOW SOON WOULD THEY BE MAKING SOME OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS? OKAY, GOOD.

MS. PARKER, OR SOMEONE FROM YOUR GROUP WANNA ANSWER, PLEASE? THANK YOU.

SO AS FAR AS SPECIFIC LIKE TIMEFRAME WITH, UM, WHEN IT'S GONNA START, I, I'M NOT CERTAIN ON THAT, BUT I CAN SAY THAT THERE ARE BUILDERS INVOLVED.

UM, THERE'S SIMULTANEOUS PLANS BEING DEVELOPED WITH THE ENGINEER, UH, FOR THE DEVELOPMENT, GETTING DRAINAGE PLANS IN PLACE AND TIA AND THAT KIND OF STUFF.

SO EVERYTHING IS, IS MOVING FORWARD FOR THIS TO BE ABLE TO TAKE OFF QUICKLY.

UM, BUT ULTIMATELY THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER APPROVALS HAVE TO GO IN, UM, FIRST OR SIMULTANEOUSLY.

SO I DON'T WANNA GUARANTEE IT TIME, BUT I CAN SAY THAT, UM, LIKE I SAID THERE, THERE'S BUILDERS CURRENTLY WORKING ON THIS.

AND I, I WOULD ANTICIPATE THAT YOU WOULD SEE SOMETHING, UM, FAIRLY QUICKLY.

AND BASED ON WHAT WE'VE PROPOSED IN THE PUD, THERE ARE, UM, ABOUT FOUR PHASES THAT ARE PROPOSED.

AND IT'LL START WITH THE RESIDENTIAL COMPONENTS.

UM, AND THEN THE COMMERCIAL WOULD BE LAST ONCE THE ROOFTOPS ARE THERE.

BUT THE, THE BUILDERS FOR THE VARIOUS, UM, SINGLE FAMILY COMPONENTS ARE ALL WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES RIGHT NOW TO GET THIS, UM, UP AND RUNNING QUICKLY.

AND CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING NUMBER, UH, FIVE B, CONDUCT THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING CONCERNING THE PROPOSED PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENT, UM, OVERLAY OF APPROXIMATELY 140.48 ACRES.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? WE'RE GONNA CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING

[b. Conduct the second public hearing concerning the proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) overlay of approximately 140.48 acres, generally located south of Interstate Highway 10 and east of Crosby Cedar Bayou Road, for a proposed mixed-use project with single-family, attached and detached townhomes, multifamily, open space and commercial components.]

GENERALLY LOCATED AT SOUTH OF INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 10 IN EASTERN CROSBY, CEDAR BAY ROAD FOR PROPOSED MIXED USE PROJECT WITH SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED AND DETACHED TOWN HOMES, MULTIFAMILY, OPEN SPACE, AND COMMERCIAL COMPONENTS.

SO MADAM CHAIR, MIA VARRIO, UM, PLANNER TWO, UH, SAME, SAME SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES.

SO, UH, AGAIN, WE WERE AVAILABLE TO, TO CLARIFY ANY, ANY ISSUES OR CONCERNS.

AND THE APPLICANT IS AVAILABLE AS WELL.

ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? WE CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING, UM, PUBLIC HEARING, UH, UH, ZONING.

[c. Consider making a recommendation to the City Council and preparing a report concerning a request to amend the official zoning map to rezone approximately 140.48 acres, generally located south of Interstate Highway 10 and east of Crosby Cedar Bayou Road from Open space/recreation (OR) to Livable center (LC) zoning district.]

C MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL IN PREPARING A REPORT CONCERNING A REQUEST TO AMEND THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP TO REZONE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, WHICH IS A HUNDRED FORTY EIGHT FORTY 0.48 ACRES, GENERALLY LOCATED SOUTH OF INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 10 AND EAST OF CROSS CEDAR OF BAY ROAD FROM OPEN SPACE RECREATIONAL, OR TO LIVABLE CENTER LZ ZONING DISTRICT.

AND WE'RE GONNA, UM, TAKE A VOTE ON THE, THE, THE SAME TWO PROPERTIES WHERE THEY'RE TWO DIFFERENT VOTES.

THE FIRST ONE IS TO REZONING FROM OR TO LC TO LIVABLE CENTER.

AND THE SECOND IS FOR THE PUD.

SO DO I HEAR A MOTION FOR THE REZONING FROM OPEN SPACE TO I'M, I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU MADAM CHAIR.

UH, I JUST FOR THE RECORD STAFF, UH, THE RECOMMENDATION FROM STAFF, YES, THANK YOU.

WOULD BE TO, UH, RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REZONING, UH, WITH THE PUD.

UH, WE'VE, WE'VE WORKED WITH THE, UM, APPLICANTS FOR MONTHS, UH, AND, AND

[00:45:01]

CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THEM AFTER THE LAST, UH, MEETING.

UH, AND TO GAIN CONSENSUS AND TO, TO REALLY, UH, BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT AS SOMETHING THAT THE COMMUNITY, UH, WANTS TO SEE MORE OF THIS KIND OF DEVELOPMENT IN BAYTOWN.

SO WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

UH, AND JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION, THIS, UH, THIS PROJECT WILL BE GOING TO CITY COUNCIL, UM, SOONER THAN THE NORMAL TIMELINE.

IT'LL BE GOING NEXT WEEK.

AND THAT WAS DUE TO, UH, THE ICE STORM, THE UNFORTUNATE EVENTS, UH, OF, OF RECENT PAST.

AND JUST TO KEEP THEM ON A TIMELINE, 'CAUSE THERE IS PIT FINANCING AND THERE'S OTHER ASPECTS, UM, THAT, THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED IF, IF WE DIDN'T FOLLOW THIS TIMELINE.

SO JUST FOR INFORMATION, THIS WILL BE GOING, UH, AS SOON AS NEXT WEEK WITH YOUR RECOMMENDATION.

AND THE FINAL ZONING ITEM, MR. CONSIDER MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL AND PREPARING A REPORT CONCERNING THE PROPOSED PLANNING UNIT DEVELOPMENT OF APPROXIMATELY 140.48 ACRES, GENERALLY LOCATED SOUTH OF INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 10 AND EASTERN CROSBY CEDAR BAY ROAD FOR A PROPOSED MIXED USE PROJECT WITH SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED AND DETACHED TOWN HOMES, MULTIFAMILY, OPEN SPACE, AND COMMERCIAL COMPONENTS.

UM, HOWEVER, AT THE FIRST MEETING YOU'LL LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ACTIVITIES AND THE SCHEDULE.

I WAS ASKING FOR A FRIEND, IT SOUNDED LIKE AN INVITATION TO ME.

, ANY VOLUNTEERS CONSIDERING THAT THIS IS, UH, YOU KNOW, THE, WHEN YOU DO A NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WE ONLY DO THIS ONCE EVERY, YOU KNOW, 10 OR 15 YEARS MM-HMM .

AND IT REALLY IS, IT BECOMES THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION'S RESPONSIBILITY TO KIND OF USHER IT THROUGH THE PROCESS.

THIS IS REALLY A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ONE PERSON TO KIND OF REALLY CONNECT INTO THAT PROCESS AND BE ABLE TO COME BACK AND KIND OF TELL YOUR FELLOW PLANNING COMMISSION AS IT GOES.

STAFF IS AWESOME.

THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT.

THE CITY'S GONNA BE GREAT.

SO, SO THAT'S REALLY, LOOK AT IT THAT WAY AND THEN YOU'LL WANT TO JUMP ALL OVER THIS OPPORTUNITY.

GOTCHA.

SEAN

[00:50:01]

WOULD BE GOOD.

SEAN, QUESTION, DO WE KNOW THAT MS. WHEELER WOULD BE WILLING TO SERVE ? I THINK MS. WHEELER'S PLATE IS FULL.

WE CAN ASK HER.

UM, BUT I'M NOT SURE.

HOW ABOUT SOMEBODY THAT'S HERE TODAY? MY PLATE IS FULL PLAY THIS .

SO HOW MUCH TIME? I MEAN, I, ONE MEETING A MONTH, BUT SIZE OF THAT MEETING, WILL IT BE OTHER TIME? SO THE BOARD IS GONNA SERVE AS LIKE A, UM, A SOUNDING BOARD FOR THE PLAN.

SO THERE WILL BE, AT TIMES YOU HAVE LIKE, QUOTE UNQUOTE HOMEWORK WHERE YOU'LL GET A SNEAK PEEK AT WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON.

UM, AND YOU CAN ADVISE US WHETHER YOU THINK THAT WOULD WORK OR ANY ISSUES OR THINGS LIKE THAT.

IT'S ALSO A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO MEET A LOT OF STAKEHOLDERS FROM OUR, UH, COMMUNITY.

SO WE HAD A LOT OF APPLICANTS FOR IT THIS YEAR, AND IT WAS HARD TO NARROW IT DOWN TO 15.

SO WE'RE HAVING A REALLY INTERESTING CROSS SECTION SO YOU CAN MEET MORE CONSTITUENTS FOR THE AREA.

SO, WOW.

WHO ELSE IS ON IT? NO.

CAN WE DON'T NEED TO KNOW ONE'S ON.

THAT'D BE GREAT FOR YOU, OUR CHAIRMAN.

I HAVEN'T LEFT .

CAN CAN WE, CAN WE THINK ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT OR WE HAVE TO MAKE AN ASK? YOU HAVE YOU BROUGHT THIS ON US? THIS IS JUST, I REALIZE THAT IT WAS ON THE, UH, IN THE FEBRUARY P AND Z MEETING, OF COURSE EVERYTHING WAS CANCELED.

UM, UH, OUR FIRST MEETING IS TUESDAY, MARCH 30TH.

SO WE, THIS WILL BE OUR LAST P AND Z MEETING BEFORE THAT DATE.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHY WE'RE SPRINGING IT.

WE HAVE TO HAVE SOMEONE SHOULD FOR THIS FIRST MEETING AND THEY CHANGE THEIR MIND.

IT'S GONNA BE AT 6:00 PM UH, I WOULD ANTICIPATE MOST OF OUR MEETINGS WILL BE IN THE EVENING.

UM, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A LOT OF STAKEHOLDERS THAT, YOU KNOW, WORK DURING THE DAY.

AND REALISTICALLY, LET'S SAY WE HAVE A VOLUNTEER AND HE CAN'T ATTEND, CAN HE CALL ONE OF US TO ATTEND IN HIS PLACE? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT'S REALISTIC? I, I DON'T SEE THAT AS A, AS A BIG ISSUE.

UM, WE'RE ALSO GONNA BE PRESENTING, YOU KNOW, UPDATES PERIODICALLY ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON.

UM, IT'S JUST REALLY GOOD TO HAVE ONE PERSON THAT WILL BE AT ALL THE MEETINGS.

SO THEY'LL, THERE'S, THERE'S START TO, TO LEARN AND, AND REALLY HAVE THEIR HANDS ON TO CONNECT WITH.

UH, THAT SAID, IF SOMEBODY MISSES ONE OR TWO, OH YEAH, EVERYBODY'S GONNA MISS A COUPLE AND THAT, THAT'S OKAY.

WE ALSO, WE MADE THE, WE DID MAKE THE COMMITTEE A LITTLE LARGER KNOWING WE'D, WE'D LOSE A COUPLE ALONG THE WAY.

SO, BUT HOPEFULLY THAT ONE OF THOSE COUPLE IS NOT OUR P AND Z MEMBER.

WE HAVE ALL YOUR CONTACT INFO.

, WE KNOW HOW TO TRACK YOU DOWN.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? I, I, LET'S PUT AWAY, I'LL COME TO THE FIRST MEETING.

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM COMING TO THE MEETING.

THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT, I MEAN, END ARE MISSING MORE THAN YOU GUYS WOULD WANT ME TO MISS BECAUSE OF MY, OF THE JOB I HAVE AND, AND NOTHING LIKE THIS MEETING, FIVE O'CLOCK IS REALLY HARD FOR ME TO GET HERE.

SO IS LATER BETTER FOR YOU? YES, IT IS.

SO, UM, AT OUR FIRST MEETING, THIS, I DON'T LIKE COMING LATER, BUT IT IS, IT IS BETTER, BUT I DON'T WANNA CHANGE EVERYBODY ELSE.

I'M JUST SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO START PROMISE YOU THAT I COULD DO SOMETHING AND THEN I MISS THREE OR FOUR MEETINGS AND YOU'RE LIKE, WELL, THIS GUY'S NOT COMING.

WELL, IT'S NOT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO COME, IT'S BECAUSE I HAVE A JOB OBLIGATION, RIGHT.

AND, AND I TRAVEL WITH MY JOB .

SO THAT'S THE THING, YOU KNOW, SO I DON'T, BEFORE I COMMIT, I, I'LL GLADLY COME TO THE FIRST ONE AND SEE HOW IT GOES.

AND THEN, AND SEE, SEE IF I FIT.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I JUST DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T WANNA MAKE YOU A PROMISE.

I'M A STAY, BUT I WILL.

SO IF HE GOES TO THE FIRST ONE, I'LL GO TO THE SECOND ONE.

NO, .

AND JUST, I MEAN, THAT'S FINE.

YOU CAN GIVE IT A SHOT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

IF WE NEED TO CHANGE, WE CHANGE OUT.

MEAN, YOU KNOW, I'LL CONSIDERATE.

YOU GUYS ARE OVERTHINKING IT.

IT'S NOT THAT.

WELL, I JUST WANNA BE HONEST WITH YOU ABOUT IT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WHEN I TOOK THIS JOB, I TOLD HEATHER I I WILL TRY MY BEST TO BE THERE, BUT I'M NOT GONNA PROMISE YOU I'LL MAKE EVERY MEETING.

WELL, WE'LL TRY TO MAKE IT AS INTERESTING AS POSSIBLE.

SO YOU DON'T WANT TO , DO YOU WANNA COME? YEAH.

DO WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THIS OR DO WE, UM, NO.

IT SHOULD BE SELF NOMINATION.

SORRY, DIDN'T, IT'D BE NICE TO HAVE A MOTION.

SECOND.

LAST ITEM IS DIRECTOR'S REPORT.

NOMINATE HIM.

PLEASE SEND ME A REMINDER PLEASE.

UM, .

YES, WE WILL.

I'LL SUPPLY THE INFORMATION.

SHE'LL SUPPLY THE INVITATION.

THERE YOU GO.

YOU TELL ME YOUR FIRST NAME AGAIN.

YOUR LAST NAME.

B-A-L-L-O-E.

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

[00:55:01]

DO I HEAR A MOTION TO NOMINATE MR. STANLEY? COMMISSIONER STANLEY BALLOU AS THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ADVISORY.

OH, ALL OF US.

[a. Receive a report regarding action taken by City Council on planning and zoning items.]

UH, SO WE, WE HAVE ONLY A COUPLE OF ITEMS HERE.

UM, THE FIRST ONE WAS THE, I THINK, UM, MS. LINDER ALSO ALREADY KIND OF THANKED EVERYBODY FOR ATTENDING THE JOINT MEETING BACK IN JANUARY.

SO THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT, THAT'S, UH, THAT PROCESS IS IN FULL SWING.

WE'VE DONE A COUPLE OF LISTENING, I THINK THREE OF THE LISTENING SESSIONS ALREADY.

TWO, TWO, WE'VE DONE TWO OF THE LISTENING SESSIONS ALREADY, AND THAT MEANS THERE'S, I THINK, TWO TO GO, UH, AND THREE TO GO.

SO I'M KEEPING TRACK REALLY WELL MM-HMM .

UM, AND, UH, SO AGAIN, WE'RE, WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT PROCESS AND WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE B AND Z, UH, UH, AS A, AN ACTIVE PARTICIPATE PARTICIPANT IN THAT PROCESS.

UM, YOU ALSO MAY BE AWARE, WE HAD A BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MEETING LAST WEEK, UH, REALLY CENTERED AROUND, THERE WERE TWO ITEMS ON THAT AGENDA.

THEY WERE BOTH ON THE SAME PROPERTY.

UM, THEY WERE TO DETERMINE THE, UM, WHAT WE'VE LISTED AS AN INTERPRETATION OF THE WORD CONTAINER.

UM, THERE WAS SOMEONE WHO HAD DROPPED A, UH, SHIPPING CONTAINER ON THAT PROPERTY AND WANTED TO FASHION IT AS A HOME.

AND, UH, UNFORTUNATELY THE ZONING CODE IS PRETTY SPECIFIC AND SAYS THAT, UH, SHIPPING CONTAINERS ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY USE IN A, UM, IN A RESIDENTIAL ZONE.

SO THAT, THAT WAS, THAT REQUEST WAS DENIED.

BUT THE VARIANCE FROM THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE, THIS WAS A, UH, A VERY, VERY SMALL, UH, UH, LOT IN, EVEN FOR THAT AREA, HALF OF THE SIZE THAT IT NEEDED TO BE, UH, FOR THE MINIMUM, THE REQUIRED MINIMUM LOT SIZE.

SO, UH, WE, UH, UH, THAT, THAT ONE WAS APPROVED.

SO THE GENTLEMAN WHO PUT THE SHIPPING CONTAINER THERE CAN, CANNOT KEEP THE SHIPPING CONTAINER, BUT HE CAN PUT SOMETHING ELSE THERE, UH, AS LONG AS IT'S, UH, TRADITIONALLY BUILT.

SO, UM, SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE THAT ONE WENT.

UM, THE, THE, UM, THE SHIPPING CONTAINER ITEM IS NOT IN, IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF SOMETHING THAT WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF.

UM, BUT THOSE TYPES OF REQUESTS DO COME ALONG EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.

SO, UH, STAFF'S NEXT MOVE WILL BE TO SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WANNA EXAMINE THE CODE FURTHER FOR, FOR THAT TYPE OF, OF, UH, OF BUILDING.

UM, THAT SAID, CAN YOU HIT THE BUTTON ON THAT? FOR ALL OF YOU WHO KNOW HAROLD CHEEK, OUR, UH, STAFF MEMBER, YOU MAY KNOW THAT HE HAS BEEN WITH THE CITY FOR 37 YEARS.

AND IF YOU'VE, SO, IF YOU'VE BEEN ON THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME, SO YOU'RE ALREADY MAKING DONNA CRY , UM, THAT, UH, YOU, YOU MAY KNOW THAT, UH, HAROLD HAS DECIDED TO RETIRE.

AND THIS IS TONIGHT OFFICIALLY HIS LAST P AND Z MEETING.

SO, UM, WE ARE HAVING A GET TOGETHER FOR HAROLD ON THE EIGHTH AT TWO O'CLOCK.

UH, IT'LL BE IN THE COMMUNITY CENTER IN THE BIG ROOM.

UM, SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO, TO JOIN US TO, TO, UH, UH, WISH HAROLD A UH, UH, A FOND FAREWELL.

UH, AND, UH, SO, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I I'M DOING THIS LIKE PROBABLY 50 TIMES OVER THE NEXT MONTH.

BUT, BUT THANK YOU HAROLD, FOR, FOR ALL YOUR SERVICE TO CINDY COMING IN HERE DURING THE MEETING FOR PLANNING AND ZONING.

AND THANK YOU ALL THE TIME THAT I HAVE KNOWN YOU, YOU HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT AND WONDERFUL AND DELIGHTFUL TO WORK WITH AND TO HEAR FROM YOU ARE GONNA BE MISSED.
