SO WE ASKED THE BOARD TO CONSIDER APPROVING THE SOUTH WINDS SECTION FIVE PRELIMINARY PLAT.
IT IS APPROXIMATELY 14.31 ACRES.
IT IS LOCATED JUST NORTH OF THE KILGORE PARKWAY OFF OF THE CROSSWINDS ROAD.
THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN THE ETJ AND IS PART OF THE, A CONTINUATION OF THE, THE SOUTH WIND SUBDIVISION, PART OF THE KILGORE PARKWAY SOUTH WIND SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

I'M A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED YOU GUYS DIDN'T GIVE TRISTAN A HARDER TIME.
THERE, THERE'S ALWAYS NEXT TIME THERE'S MORE OPPORTUNITY.
[a. Conduct a public hearing and consider a request to amend the official zoning map to rezone an approximately 14.76 parcel located at 8200 North Main Street from an Open Space/Recreation (OR) to a General Commercial (GC) Zoning District.]
FOUR A CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING.AND I WILL READ THE FOLLOWING ONE TIME.
AND IT APPLIES TO ALL PUBLIC HEARINGS.
PUBLIC HEARINGS ARE HELD FOR THE PURPOSE OF GIVING ALL INTERESTED PERSONS THE RIGHT TO SPEAK AND BE HEARD.
EVERYONE DESIRING TO SPEAK AT TODAY'S HEARING SHOULD HAVE SIGNED THE APPROPRIATE LIST.
AT THIS LIST, WE'LL PROVIDE THE SPEAKING ORDINANCE FOR THE HEARING.
EACH SPEAKER SHALL GIVE HIS OR HER NAME AND ADDRESS TO PROVE A PROPER RECORD OF THIS HEARING.
THE RULES ALLOW EACH SPEAKER THREE MINUTES TO PRESENT INFORMATION.
HOWEVER, I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO BE AS CONCISE AS POSSIBLE.
IF YOU ARE A GROUP WISHING TO ADDRESS THE BOARD ON THE SAME SUBJECT, PLEASE SELECT THE SPOKESPERSON TO PRESENT THE INFORMATION.
IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE DIRECT THEM TO ME.
CONSIDER A REQUEST TO AMEND THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP TO REZONE AN APPROXIMATELY 4.76 PARCEL LOCATED 8,200 NORTH MAIN STREET FROM OPEN SPACE RECREATION TO A GENERAL COMMERCIAL GC ZONING DISTRICT.
AND I OPEN THIS PUBLIC HEARING NOW.
UH, THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY IS AGAIN TOWARDS THE NORTHERN FRINGES OF THE CITY LIMITS.
UH, WE ARE LOCATED ALONG NORTH MAINE AND EAST VILLE ROAD.
[00:10:01]
MOSTLY VACANT.UM, THE AREA HAS BEEN ANNEXED OVER TIME SINCE ABOUT 20 20 12 TO 2017.
THERE'S BEEN SEVERAL ANNEXATIONS THAT HAVE OCCURRED IN THE AREA AND MOST OF THE AREA COME, AS YOU KNOW, WHEN IT'S ANNEXED, IT COMES IN AS OPEN SPACE RECREATIONAL.
MOST OF THE AREA HAS REMAINED OPEN SPACE RECREATIONAL SINCE THEN.
SO THIS IS THE, UH, PROPERTY OWNERS SEEKING TO ACTUALLY PUT, UH, A DESIGNATION THAT THEY CAN USE THE PROPERTY FOR OTHER THAN OPEN SPACE.
UM, AND THEY'RE SEEKING TO GO TO GC IN THE AREA.
THE EXISTING CONDITIONS IN THE AREA INCLUDE A SUBDIVISION TO THE WEST.
THERE'S A SCHOOL THAT IS TO THE NORTHWEST AND THEN THERE'S MORE VACANT PROPERTY TO THE, TO THE NORTH OF THIS, THIS PROPOSED AREA.
THE, THE ODD PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT IS THAT THERE IS NO, UM, DIRECT CORNER ACCESS.
SO THAT LEAD, THAT'S GONNA REMAIN AS AN OUT PARTIAL FOR NOW.
UM, BUT THERE IS THE 14 ACRES THAT YOU SEE HASHED OUT THERE ON OUR MAP.
THIS IS WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE.
UH, THE APPLICANT OF COURSE IS PROPOSING TO REZONE THIS AREA FROM OPEN SPACE RECREATIONAL TO GENERAL COMMERCIAL, WHICH IS ALSO VERY CONSISTENT WITH OUR NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH SUGGESTS LARGE SCALE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
AND IT ALSO MEETS THE LOCATION CRITERIA BEING, UM, IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO TWO ARTERIALS OR, UH, COLLECTOR ROADWAYS.
AND WITH THAT STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.
THESE ARE SOME PICTURES, UM, THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE EXISTING CONDITIONS IN THE AREA.
WE HAVE NO ONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.
THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY.
HAS THE OWNER INDICATED ANY POTENTIAL USE? UH, NO.
UM, HOWEVER, WE DO HAVE, UH, A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OWNERS HERE AND SHE MAY BE ABLE TO DIVE INTO THE DETAILS OF IF THERE ARE ANY PLANS AT THIS TIME BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE MULTIPLE TRACKS.
THERE ARE, THERE ARE MULTIPLE TRACKS.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT A TOTAL OF FOUR TRACKS IN THIS AREA.
RIGHT? I WAS A LITTLE CONCERNED TILL I READ THE DEFINITION AGAIN OF GENERAL COMMERCIAL AND I FELT A LITTLE MORE COMFORTABLE AFTER THAT.
SO GENERAL COMMERCIAL IS OUR BROADEST ZONING OR IT'S NOT A, IT'S ONE OF OUR BROADER ZONING DISTRICTS.
IT DOES ALLOW FOR A LOT OF THINGS, BUT EVEN WITH THOSE MORE INTENSE USES THAT IT ALLOWS, REMEMBER IT COMES WITH SOME COMPATIBILITY STANDARDS AND SOME CONDITIONS, UM, THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE USES TO KIND OF MITIGATE ANY NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF THOSE MORE INTENSE USES.
I SEEM TO RECALL A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN THE CITY PUT OUT THIS BEAUTIFUL PARK PLAN FOR THIS AREA.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT? SO THE PARK IS LOCATED DIRECTLY, WELL, LET ME GET BACK TO THE LARGER VICINITY.
MAP THE, WELL I THINK THIS WILL DO IT.
THIS IS, THIS IS BASICALLY OUR IT CENTER HERE AND THE PARK AREA IS ROUGHLY IN THIS AREA.
IT WAS PROPERTY THAT WAS DONATED BY CHEVRON.
SO THERE IS A PLAN TO ACTIVATE THAT, I BELIEVE IT'S CALLED RUSSELL PARK.
UM, THERE IS A PLAN TO ACTUALLY DEVELOP THAT AND IT TURN INTO GREATER USE THAN THE VACANT LAND THAT IS THERE.
UM, SO THIS WILL BE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THAT IN LONG RANGE PLANNING.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENT? JUST ONE QUESTION.
AND IF YOU GO BACK TO THE CURRENT ZONING, HOW DO YOU QUALIFY THIS AS CONSISTENT AND NOT SPOT ZONING? 'CAUSE I SEE WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO'S A LITTLE BIT OBJECTIVE OF, OF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THERE.
WELL, WITH SPOT ZONING, BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE ASKING, UM, WHAT YOU'RE INDICATING IS THAT THIS USE IS DIFFERENT AND IT'S NOT GONNA BE TREATED LIKE THE OTHER PROPERTIES AROUND IT.
RIGHT? SO THAT'S GENERALLY WHAT SPOT ZONING IS GETTING TO.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HAS ALREADY INDICATED THAT LARGE SCALE COMMERCIAL IS THE TREND AND IS THE DIRECTION THAT THE CITY IS PLANNING ON GOING IN.
SO I DON'T, I THINK BECAUSE OF THE LONG RANGE PLAN SUPPORTING THIS DEVELOPMENT, THAT S ISN'T APPLICABLE.
I I THINK IT'S WORTH POINTING OUT THAT, UM, THE APPLICANT ORIGINALLY CAME IN WITH THE THREE RECTANGULAR PARCELS FIRST AND WE SAID OKAY, WE MIGHT HAVE A SPOT ZONING ISSUE IN THIS CASE, BUT IF YOU CAN KIND OF HELP US CONNECT THOSE
[00:15:01]
AND DO SOMETHING THAT'S A LITTLE MORE, UM, I DON'T WANNA SAY MASTER PLAN, BUT SOMETHING THAT'S A LITTLE MORE PLANNED TOGETHER, UM, IN, IN INTEGRATED, THAT, THAT, THAT WILL MAKE MORE SENSE TO US AND HOPEFULLY MAKE MORE SENSE TO THE, TO THE BOARD.AND SO SHE WENT BACK AND, AND ACTUALLY DID THAT AND MANAGED TO, TO GET THIS OTHER PARCEL TO HELP CONNECT EVERYTHING.
WE'RE ASKED TO, UH, APPROVE AS WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BEFORE.
WE HAVE ONE PUBLIC HEARING NOW AND WE'RE ASKED TO APPROVE AFTER THAT.
SO DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE? I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THE REQUEST SECOND BEFORE A WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE INDICATE BY SAYING AYE.
[b. Conduct a public hearing and consider a request to amend the official zoning map to rezone approximately 13.26 acres located generally south of East Archer Road and directly west of and with frontage on, Barkuloo Road from Open Space/Recreation (OR) to Low Density Single-Family Residential Dwellings (SF1).]
B.CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER A REQUEST TO AMEND THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY 13 POINT 26 ACRES LOCATED GENERALLY SOUTH OF EAST ARCHER ROAD AND DIRECTLY WEST AND WITH FRONTAGE ON BARLOW ROAD WITH OPEN SPACE RECREATION TO LOW DENSITY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DWELLINGS.
I'M A PLANNER TWO HERE AT THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT.
UH, SO THIS ITEM THAT WE HAVE FOR YOU TODAY IS A PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD REZONING.
UH, WE'RE LOOKING FROM OPEN SPACE RECREATION TO, UH, LOW DENSITY SINGLE FAMILY SF ONE.
UM, AS YOU MENTIONED, IT IS SOUTH OF EAST ARCHER ROAD, JUST WEST OF BARLOW ROAD THERE.
UM, RIGHT DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE AIRPORT AS YOU CAN SEE.
UM, LET ME GO OVER TO OUR ZONING MAP HAS, ITS CURRENTLY ZONED, IT'S, UM, OPEN SPACE RECREATION.
THAT ENTIRE AREA IS OPEN SPACE RECREATION THAT IS DUE TO THE 2017 ANNEXATION THAT BROUGHT ALL OF THAT AREA, UH, INTO THE CITY LIMITS.
AND SO WITH THAT, THE PROPERTY OWNER IS JUST LOOKING TO, UH, GET THAT, UH, CHANGE TO SF ONE JUST SO THEY CAN DO A SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT JUST LOOKING FOR ONE RESIDENCE, UH, TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON THE PROPERTY.
CURRENTLY THEY ALREADY LIVE ON THE PROPERTY, HAVE BEEN LIVING ON THE PROPERTY.
THEY'RE JUST LOOKING TO MOVE FROM A MANUFACTURED HOME TO AN ACTUALLY CONSTRUCTED RESIDENCE.
IT DOES MATCH UP WITH THE CURRENT USES WE'RE SEEING IN THE AREA AND LOOKING AT OUR FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.
UM, THAT WHOLE AREA IS DESIGNATED FOR LOWDEN LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.
AND A LOT OF THE USES, UH, ALREADY SURROUNDING THE AREA ARE EITHER VACANT OR SOME TYPE OF RESIDENTIAL.
USUALLY HAVE A LOW DENSITY VARIETY.
SO IT'S IN LINE WITH ALL OF THOSE, UH, ASPECTS AS WELL TO GIVE YOU SOME INDICATION AT THE SITE.
SO THAT'S WHAT IT WOULD BE, WOULD BE LOOKING AT IS THAT SF ONE CHANGED THAT.
WHILE IT MAY LOOK LIKE IT'S DIFFERENTIATING FROM THE AREA, IT'S ALL STAYING IN LINE WITH A LOT OF THE CURRENT USES.
AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING HAS PATTERNS OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA.
UM, ON SITE HERE, THIS IS, UH, LOOKING JUST NORTH.
YOU CAN SEE FROM THERE THERE IS EXISTING USES ON THAT.
THAT DOES PREDATE THE 2017 ANNEXATION.
AND SO NOW THEY'RE JUST LOOKING TO ACTUALLY DO CONSTRUCTION AND MOVE FORWARD WITH DEVELOPMENT ON THE PROPERTY, UH, PAST THE EXISTING USES THAT WERE THERE BEFORE.
AND THEN JUST, UH, LOOKING EAST THERE, THE AIRPORT ACROSS THE STREET.
SO, AND WITH THAT STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AND I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF THERE IS SOME MOVE FOR APPROVAL.
WE HAVE WHAT? WE HAVE ONE PERSON SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS.
MR. WOO, IF YOU WOULD IDENTIFY YOURSELF AND GIVE AN ADDRESS.
I'M AN ATTORNEY AT THE WEAVER LAW FIRM IN HOUSTON, TEXAS.
OUR ADDRESS IS, UH, 1800 BARING, UH, SUITE 10 50, HOUSTON, TEXAS 7 7 0 5 7.
WE REPRESENT THE APPLICANT, UH, JESUS VADO, REGARDING THE PROPERTY AT 5 6 2 7 BARKLOW ROAD.

UH, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? ALL IN FAVOR PLEASE INDICATE BY SAYING YES UP SAYING YES.
[00:20:01]
OPPOSED, PLEASE SAY NO.CAN I ASK A GENERAL QUESTION ABOUT THE NOISE? DO WE HAVE A NOISE ORDINANCE ACROSS FROM THE AIRPORT? I KNOW AIRPORT IS NOT VERY BUSY, BUT JUST THINKING OUT LOUD.
'CAUSE THIS IS, IF HE DECIDES TO, I I DON'T THINK SO.
I WOULD IMAGINE THAT AIRPORT PREDATES A LOT OF THE STUFF THAT'S OVER THERE.
SO IF YOU DON'T LOOK AROUND WHEN YOU GO THROUGH THERE AND NOTICE THAT THERE'S AN AIRPORT THAT'S ON YOU, THERE'S AIRPORT.
THE, THERE IS A NOISE ORDINANCE WITHIN THE CITY.
UM, HOWEVER, UH, THERE ARE NON-CONFORMING USES.
IF THAT WAS ALREADY A PRACTICE WHEN THAT AREA WAS ANNEXED, THEN THEY GET TO CONTINUE WHATEVER, UH, PROCESS THEY HAD PRIOR TO THAT.
[c. Conduct a public hearing and consider a request to amend the official zoning map to rezone approximately 0.33 acres of land located at 315, 319, 325 East Defee Avenue from a Mixed Residential at Low to Medium Densities (SF2) to a Neighborhood Serving Commercial (NSC) Zoning District.]
TO FOUR C.CONSIDER A REQUEST TO AMEND THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY 0.33 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED AT 3 15 3 19 AND 3 25 EAST DFE AVENUE FROM MIXED RESIDENTIAL AT LOW TO MEDIUM DENSITY TO NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT.
GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIRWOMAN COMMISSIONERS.
MY NAME IS LAMIA SALEM PLANNER WITH THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY PROPERTIES ARE LOCATED AT THE SOUTH, UH, WEST CORNER OF EAST DFI AND FOURTH STREET, APPROXIMATELY ZERO, UH, 0.33 ACRES OF LAND.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES ENCOMPASS THREE PARCELS OF LANDS WITH TWO DIFFERENT OWNERSHIPS.
UM, WE HAVE CODE CASES WHERE FILED AGAINST EACH ONE OF THE APPLICANTS AT DIFFERENT TIMES.
RECENTLY, THE OWNER OF THE, UM, THE THREE 15 EAST DFI RECEIVED A HOLD ON THE PROPERTY FOR HAVING OFF STREET PARKING WITHOUT PERMIT, WHERE OFF STREET PARKING IS NOT PERMITTED IN MIXED RESIDENTIAL AT LOW TO MEDIUM ENTITIES.
THE SF TWO ZONING DISTRICT, AND THESE ARE THE OTHER, UH, PROPERTIES AT, UH, THREE 19 AND 3 25 EAST
THE OWNERS OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES ALSO OWNS ALSO OWN THE, UM, THE PROPERTIES FRONTING ON EAST TEXAS AVENUE AND ARE USING THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES FOR PARKING TO SUPPORT THEIR BUSINESSES.
THE PROPERTIES ARE SURROUNDED BY RESIDENTIAL USES TO THE NORTH, EAST AND WEST.
COMMERCIAL USES AND NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING COMMERCIAL ZONE ARE TO THE SOUTH.
THIS IS THE EXISTING ZONING WHERE COMMERCIAL, UH, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING COMMERCIAL ARE LOCATED TO THE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES.
THE APPLICANTS ARE, UH, PROPOSING TO REZONE THE PROPERTIES FROM MIXED RESIDENTIAL AT LOW TO MEDIUM DENSITIES, SF TWO TO NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING COMMERCIAL NSC.
THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATES THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES AS MIXED DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.
WE HAVE IDENTIFIED, UM, FROM IN ACCORDANCE TO THE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
UH, PRIMARY LAND USED AS IDENTIFIED BY THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OFFERS A MIX OF HOUSING TYPES AND DENSITIES, RANGES FROM DETACHED DWELLING TO MULTIFAMILY DWELLINGS AND CAN GO UP TO 23 UNITS PER ACRE.
A SECONDARY LAND USE TYPE COULD BE PUBLIC INSTITUTIONAL USES, PARKS AND PUBLIC SPACES, AND ALSO NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE COMMERCIAL THAT MEETS, UH, LOCATION CRITERIA FOR THIS USE.
STAFF REPORT HAS, UM, DETAILED THE LOCATIONAL, UH, CRITERIA FOR, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING COMMERCIAL USE IN THIS PROPERTY.
THE, UH, PROPOSAL IS CONSIDERED, UM, AN EXTENSION OF THE EXISTING ESTABLISHED COMMERCIAL USES ON EAST TEXAS AVENUE.
IT IS ADJACENT TO A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD AND LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF TWO COLLECTORS AND A HUNDRED FEET AWAY FROM ANTERIOR ROAD.
[00:25:01]
SUCH, THE PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM SF TWO TO NSC MEETS THE SECONDARY USE LOCATIONAL CRITERIA FOR NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE COMMERCIAL AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GUIDANCE AND THE FLU DESIGNATION STAFF REPORT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE PROPOSED ZONE CHANGE IS IN LINE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GOALS AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS.
THE PROPERTIES MUST BE PLOTTED AND CONSOLIDATED WITH PROPERTIES FRONTING TEXAS AVENUE SCREENING REQUIREMENTS MUST BE MET ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL AND RIGHT OF WAYS PROPERTIES MUST COMPLY WITH THE SETBACK REQUIREMENT AS PER THE ULDC.
AND, UM, THIS IS IT AND I'M HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.
UM, THE, THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS THEY, IF, IF THIS IS APPROVED THERE, IS THERE ANY WAY THAT THE COM THE BUSINESS CAN SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW, NOW I HAVE THIS, CAN I BUILD TO THE BACK? OR IS IT JUST PRETTY MUCH THEY CAN ONLY CONFORM TO THE PARKING? I I'M SORRY, CAN YOU PLEASE REPEAT THE QUESTION? SO THE BUSINESS, I SUPPOSE, LIKE, UM, ONE OF THE BUSINESSES SAYS, OKAY, WELL THEY THEY GRANTED ME THIS, NOW I CAN BUILD BACK AND BUILD MORE BUSINESS.
OR IS IT STRICTLY JUST TO COVER THE PARKING? THAT'S ALL THEY CAN HAVE BACK THERE.
SO ONE OF THE CONDITIONS THAT WE, UM, FOR APPROVAL IS TO CONSOLIDATE THE PROPERTIES.
UM, BECAUSE THE, UM, THE OWNER HAVE THIS, UM, THE OWNER OF THREE 15 OWNS THE PROPERTY ON THREE 10 TEXAS AVENUE, RIGHT? SO IF WE CONSOLIDATE BOTH OF THEM AS ONE PROPERTY AND ONE BUSINESS, THEN WE COULD ALLOW FOR PARKING AT THE BACK ON EAST THE FEE WITH, WITH THE OTHER TWO CONDITIONS, WHICH IS THE SCREENING AND THE SETBACKS, RIGHT? BUT MY CONCERN IS, IS THAT MAYBE HE'LL SAY, WELL NOW I'M JUST GONNA BUILD MY BUSINESS BIGGER AND HE'S GONNA HAVE THE SAME PARKING ISSUE EXCEPT NOW HE'S GONNA BE PARKING ON THE STREET.
SO WE HAVE, UM, DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS THAT, UM, WE HAVE LOT COVERAGE STANDARDS THAT IT'S, UM, 90% AND THEY HAVE ALREADY, UM, MAYBE MET THOSE STANDARDS IF THEY CONSOLIDATED THE BUSINESS.
BUT THEY DO, THEY CAN BUILD ANOTHER BUSINESS IF THEY WANT, IF IT'S TWO PROPERTIES, NOT ONE CONSOLIDATED PROPERTY.
SO THEY, THEY COULD EXPAND THE STRUCTURE IF THEY WANTED, BUT THEY STILL HAVE TO MEET THE SETBACKS.
THEY STILL HAVE TO MEET THE SCREENING REQUIREMENTS, WHICH ARE GONNA LIMIT THEM.
THERE ARE GONNA BE CONDITIONS ON PARTICULAR BUSINESSES THAT MIGHT GO IN THERE OR PARTICULAR USES THAT GO IN THERE.
UM, IF THEY WERE TO SELL THAT, REMEMBER WHEN YOU APPROVE A A, UM, A REZONE, YOU'RE APPROVING ANY USE THAT IS ALLOWED IN THAT REZONE.
SO WHAT THEY'RE ASKING TO DO RIGHT NOW IS FOR THAT PARKING LOT.
AND WE DON'T SEE ANY, WE DON'T SEE ANYTHING IN THE NEAR FUTURE THAT MIGHT INDICATE OTHERWISE.
SO STAFF IS PRETTY, UH, COMFORTABLE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS FOR THAT REASON.
THAT SAID, LIKE I SAID, WHEN LONG TERM IT'S UH, IT'S NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING COMMERCIAL, WHICH MEANS THEY COULD COME IN AND PUT SOMETHING ELSE IN THERE LATER IF THIS BUSINESS SHOULD FAIL OR BE SOLD OFF.
SO ALWAYS SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN WE HAVE THESE TYPES, WHEN WE HAVE A REZONED REQUEST.
WOULD THIS POSSIBLY HAVE ANY NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THE HOUSES AROUND IT, THE RESIDENTS AROUND IT? WOULD IT HURT THEIR, YOU KNOW, UM, HOME EVALUATIONS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? SO THE EXISTING CONDITION IS ACTUALLY HAVING A NEGATIVE EFFECT RIGHT NOW ON THE, UM, ADJACENT PROPERTIES, ADJACENT HOUSES.
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS HOUSE, UM, IS, IS RIGHT ADJACENT TO THIS PARKING, UH, LOT THAT WAS CREATED, UM, ILLEGAL.
UM, SO, SO BY UH, REGULATING, UH, THIS PROPERTY AND BRINGING IT TO NSC ZONE, WE ARE GOING TO, UM, TO HAVE A SCREENING BETWEEN THE, UM, BETWEEN THE EXISTING USE, WHICH IS THE PARKING LOT AND THE, UH, RESIDENTIAL USE.
AND WE ARE GOING TO ALSO REQUEST A, UH, SCREENING AS WELL ON THE OTHER, UH, TWO PROPERTY BECAUSE THERE ARE ADJACENT TO THE RIGHT OF WAY.
[00:30:06]
WE HAVE NO ONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS.DO WE HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? UH, WE CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING.
DO WE, UH, WE NEED TO APPROVE THIS.
DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE? SO HELEN, YOU HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE TO HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.
UH, IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS ALL IN FAVORS, PLEASE INDICATE BY SAYING AYE.
THOSE OPPOSED LIKE SIGN MOTION PASSES.
[d. Conduct a public hearing and consider a request to amend the official zoning map to rezone approximately 25.20 acres generally located at the southeast intersection of Sjolander Road and IH-10 from Open Space/Recreation (OR) to General Commercial (GC) Zoning District.]
A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST TO AMEND THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY 25.20 ACRES.GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST INTERSECTION OF SHO ROAD AND IH 10 FROM OPEN SPACE RECREATION TO GENERAL COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT.
HOW ARE YOU FRANCESCA LINDER PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT.
UM, SO LIKE YOU SAID, THIS PROPERTY IS, UH, EXCUSE ME, THIS CASE IS TO REZONE THIS PROPERTY, UH, FROM OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION TO GENERAL COMMERCIAL IN 2017.
THIS PROPERTY WAS SUBJECT TO A UNILATERAL ANNEXATION.
UH, HOWEVER, INSTEAD THE PROPERTY OWNERS ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY TO DELAY THE ANNEXATION SEVEN YEARS OR UNTIL THE TIME OF DEVELOPMENT IN 2021.
THEY DID DEVELOP FOR A TEMPORARY USE AND THEY WERE SUBSEQUENTLY ANNEXED.
UM, THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY RING A BELL BECAUSE IN 2021, ALONG WITH THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, THE PROPERTY JUST TO THE, UH, EAST WAS ALSO ANNEXED AT THE SAME TIME.
UH, AND THEY WERE REZONED TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WENT THROUGH THIS BODY AND APPROVED BY Y'ALL AND CITY COUNSEL.
UH, AT THIS TIME THE PROPERTY OWNER IS GETTING READY TO DEVELOP AND HAS SUBMITTED A PETITION AGAIN FOR THAT GENERAL COMMERCIAL IT WAS AUTOMATICALLY ZONED OR LAST YEAR WHEN IT WAS ANNEXED.
UM, THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, UM, MARX, THIS SUBJECT AS LARGE SCALE COMMERCIAL.
UM, AND THIS DOES COMPLY WITH THEIR REQUEST AND IT DOES MEET ALL OF THE CRITERIA.
SO, UH, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, ALL OF THE TRACKS AT THE INTERSECTION OF SHO ROAD AND I 10 ARE ALL ZONE GENERAL COMMERCIAL AS WELL AS A SMALL PARTIAL TO THE SOUTH OF THIS PROPERTY.
ALONG NEEDLE POINT ALSO TO THE EAST AND WEST ARE SOME LARGE, UM, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TRACKS THAT WERE APPROVED IN 2020 AND 2021.
THE OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION TRACK, UH, ADJACENT TO THIS WAS ZONED, EXCUSE ME, WAS ANNEXED IN 2017 AND, UH, HAS REMAINED OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION SINCE THEN.
THEY ARE OPERATING A BUSINESS OUT OF THAT PROPERTY AND HAVE BEEN SINCE PRIOR TO ANNEXATION TO THE SOUTH OF THIS PROPERTY.
THERE IS ALSO SOME SINGLE FAMILY, UH, RESIDENTIAL, WHICH LEADS TO A SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISION.
SO, UH, WE HAVE RECEIVED ONE COMMENT FROM BAYTOWN ENGAGE, UH, WE RECEIVED IT YESTERDAY, SO IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET, HOWEVER YOU ALL HAVE A COPY OF IT TONIGHT.
UH, I'LL DO A BRIEF SUMMARY OF IT TOO FOR YOU.
UM, THE, THE COMMENT OPPOSED THE REZONING AND, UM, THE CONCERNS CAME DOWN TO, UH, HAVING A TRUCK, EXCUSE ME, A TRUCK STOP AT THE LOCATION AS WELL AS CONCERNS ABOUT STORMWATER RUNOFF AND INCREASED TRAFFIC ONCE IT'S DEVELOPED.
UM, ANY FUTURE DEVELOPMENT ON THE SUBJECT TRACK WOULD BE REQUIRED TO MEET ALL THE COMPATIBILITY STANDARDS, UM, WHICH REQUIRE A SIX FOOT SCREENING AND A 20 FOOT OPEN SPACE BETWEEN THIS PROPERTY AND THE SINGLE FAMILY.
AND OF COURSE, UM, THEY WOULD HAVE TO MEET ALL OF THE LANDSCAPING STANDARDS AND MITIGATE TRAFFIC AND WASTEWATER, UH, EXCUSE ME, UH, STORM WATER.
UH, BASED ON THE DEVELOPMENT THAT COMES, IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT TRUCK STOPS ARE NOT ALLOWED WITH GENERAL COMMERCIAL.
AND HERE ARE A FEW, UH, PICTURES OF THE SITE.
THIS IS FROM THE INTERSECTION OF NEEDLEPOINT AND SHO LAND.
LOOKING AT THE PROPERTY, THIS IS FROM, UH, SHO LAND LOOKING INTO THE PROPERTY AT PART OF THE AREA THAT WAS DEVELOPED.
AND THIS IS ALONG, UH, THE ATAN FEEDER ROAD LOOKING SOUTHWEST AT THE PROPERTY.
[00:35:01]
SAID, UH, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THIS APPLICATION.ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS OF FRANCIS? WE HAVE, WOULD THE OWNER INTEND TO DIVIDE THAT PROPERTY LATER OR WOULD IT BE A SINGLE PARCEL FOR A SINGLE BUSINESS? SO IT'S NOT BEEN INDICATED TO US.
HOWEVER, THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OWNER IS HERE TONIGHT AND THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO ADDRESS IT FOR, WE HAVE ONE PERSON SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.
TIFFANY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO FORWARD? GOOD EVENING, CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSIONERS.
UM, AS FAR AS AS YOUR QUESTION, MR. PIERCE, THE PARTICULAR OWNER, UM, WHO OWNED THE BIGGER TRACK THAT YOU ALL REZONED A PORTION OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, UM, AND THEN REMAINED, UH, KEPT THIS PORTION'S 25 ACRES, UH, REMAINING AS, OR IS NO LONGER INTERESTED IN DEVELOPING.
SO HE IS TRYING TO SELL THIS 25 ACRES.
THE NEW BUYER DOES NOT HAVE ANY USES YET.
WE'VE ACTUALLY MET WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE CITY.
UM, AND, YOU KNOW, HAVE SOME THINGS THINKING THERE'S NO USE TO USE 25 ACRES AT THIS TIME.
UM, THE NEW BUYER IS NOT EVEN DECIDING TO DO ANY DESIGN PLANS UNTIL HE KNOWS HE CAN USE IT AS IT STAYS OR HE DOESN'T PLAN TO PURCHASE OR USE BECAUSE THERE'S NO USE FOR OR, UM, SO THERE'S NO REAL USES AT THIS TIME, BUT THERE'S IS ABSOLUTELY NO USE FOR A FULL 25 ACRES.
SO, AND I, AND OBVIOUSLY NO USE FOR A TRUCK STOP AS MR. MS. LINDER, UM, INDICATED BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IT WOULD NEED TO BE REZONED APPROPRIATELY AND, AND GC DOESN'T ALLOW FOR THAT.
SO NO THOUGHTS FOR A BIG BOX STORE OF SOME SORT OR NOT AT THIS TIME? UM, THAT WOULD BE FROM A LAND USE STANDPOINT, THAT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA.
THEY DO NOT, THEY HAVEN'T SOUGHT THAT YET, NOR HAVE THEY LOOKED AT ANY DESIGN BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THERE'S NO ALLOWED USE.
SO THEY HAVEN'T EVEN PURSUED THAT OPTION YET.
I THINK THAT THAT AREA WOULD BE IDEAL FOR A BIG BOX STORE OF SOME SORT.
IT'S, YEAH, ACTUALLY A NICE GROCERY STORE ACTUALLY.
IT, IT WOULD ACTUALLY PROTECT THE NEIGHBORHOOD YES.
TO PREVENT IT FROM GOING LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TOO.
AND GIVE A GOOD SERVICE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND FOR, FOR THOSE HOUSES DOWN, SHOVEL LANDER.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, TIFFANY? I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, UH, WE'VE ADDRESSED THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE POSED HERE.
YOU ADDRESSED THE TRUCK STOP ISSUE.
UH, I BELIEVE YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THEM HAVE BEING REQUIRED TO, TO TAKE CARE OF THE TRAFFIC SITUATION, CORRECT? YES.
AND WAS THERE ANYTHING ELSE IN HERE, THE FLOODING, I MEAN, WAS THAT, WAS THAT ADDRESSED AS WELL? UM, UH,
SO DETENTION WOULD BE REQUIRED ON THAT SITE.
AND ANY STORM WATER INLETS THAT ARE ALREADY ALONG I 10, THIS PROJECT WOULD HAVE TO DESIGN AND, AND KIND OF OUTFLOW INTO THOSE, UM, INTO THOSE FACILITIES THAT EXIST.
BUT THAT WOULD BE DONE UNDER DESIGN.
THAT'S NOT ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, DONE AT THIS POINT.
AND THEY JUST, LIKE I MENTIONED, HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN THAT FAR, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT USES IS.
THEY'RE GONNA BE FIVE BUILDINGS, ONE BUILDING, TWO BUILDING, YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO THAT POINT.
BUT YES, THAT WOULD BE ADDRESSED AS THEY GO THROUGH THE DESIGN PROCESS WITH THE CITY.
THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING THIS CON THIS CONCERN.
DONNA C. MAY, CAN WE GO BACK TO THE, THE MAP THAT SHOWS IT? UM, BECAUSE IF THE ISSUE IS TRUCKS AND WE THINK ABOUT A BIG BOX OR ANY KIND OF COMMERCIAL WHERE WE HAVE DELIVERIES, UM, WHERE THE INGRESS AND EGRESS, I GUESS THAT WOULD BE ALONG I 10 WHERE THEY COULD, YES, THE TRUCKS WOULD COME IN.
'CAUSE WE HAD, WE HAD A DISCUSSION BEFORE, DIDN'T WE, ABOUT THE TRUCKS COMING OFF AND IF THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WOULD NEED TO USE THE FEEDER ROADS FOR I 10 AND KEEP THE TRUCKS OFF OF SHO AND, AND NEEDLE POINT WAS THE, THE WHOLE, IN FACT, I WOULD IMAGINE SOME, THE RESIDENT THERE WERE, WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT THERE WOULD BE A BIG, BIG BOX STORE OUT IN THAT AREA.
I WOULD IMAGINE ANYTHING DEVELOPED AT THIS INTERSECTION WOULD, THE CITY WOULD REQUIRE THEM TO DO SOME TYPE OF TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS JUST BECAUSE OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS INTERSECTION.
ONE UM, OTHER THING ABOUT THIS AREA IS THERE IS A PIPELINE CORRIDOR, UM, ALONG NEEDLE POINT AND THAT'S A NATURAL BARRIER WITH NOTHING WILL BE BUILT UPON ON, ON THE NEEDLE POINT SIDE.
AND I WOULD IMAGINE THE CITY AT THE TIME OF DESIGN WOULD SAY WE ARE NOT TAKING ANY COMMERCIAL ACCESS DOWN NEEDLE POINT IN THAT SECTION TO CROSS THAT PIPELINE OR TO, UH, HAVE ANY IMPACTS ALONG THE, THAT RESIDENTIAL AREA.
SO I THINK THE, THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY AS WELL AS THE BUYER UNDERSTANDS THAT THAT WOULD BE THE PARAMETERS.
AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE AREA, YOU WOULDN'T WANNA HAVE COMMERCIAL ACCESS OFF A NEEDLE POINT ANYWAY.
WOULDN'T, YOU KNOW, IT WOULDN'T MAKE SENSE.
I THINK SHO LANDER WAS THE, UH, THE DISCUSSION BEFORE AS YOU AS YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE
[00:40:01]
IT'S TWO LANES AND RIGHT.THAT'S IT'S ALREADY, UH, PRETTY CONGESTED.
THEY HAVE A GOOD AMOUNT OF FURNISH ON, ON I 10.
ANYBODY ELSE? THANK YOU TIFFANY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF FRANCIS BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD? WE'LL CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING AND WE NEED TO HAVE A, A MOTION TO APPROVE.
I'LL, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.
'CAUSE I THINK THAT'S A BENEFIT TO THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD HAVING IT GENERAL.
WE HAVE A SEC, A MOTION AND A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR PLEASE INDICATE BY SAYING AYE.
[a. Conduct a public hearing and consider proposed text amendments to the Unified Land Development Code of the City of Baytown to consolidate certain land development ordinances. ]
TO FIVE A TEXT AMENDMENT, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENTS TO THE UNIFIED LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE FOR THE CITY OF BAYTOWN TO CONSIDER TO CONSOLIDATE CERTAIN LAND DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCES.UH, SO AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE ADOPTED A NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WITH THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMES NEW GOALS AND NEW DIRECTION, ET CETERA.
UH, THIS PARTICULAR ITEM THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU IS AN ATTEMPT TO START THE PROCESS OF MAKING SURE THAT THE REGULATIONS ARE GOING IN LINE WITH WHAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS RECOMMENDING.
SO WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS TAKE ALL THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODES THAT ARE THROUGHOUT THE CODE OF ORDINANCES AND PUT THEM ALL UNDERNEATH THE ULDC.
IT DEFINITELY STREAMLINES THE, OUR ABILITY TO LOOK AT THE ULDC AS A WHOLE.
AND THEN SECONDLY, WE HAD REMOVED ANY INCONSISTENCIES THAT WERE BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT CHAPTERS OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, UM, THAT WE COULD IDENTIFY AT THIS TIME.
UH, WE'RE WE'RE MOVING IN THE BUILDING REGULATIONS FOR LANDSCAPING AND STREET SCAPE INTO THE ULDC.
WE'RE MOVING IN OFF STREET PARKING, WE'RE MOVING IN SIGNS AND WE'RE MOVING IN SUBDIVISIONS.
AGAIN, THESE ARE ALL THINGS DEALING WITH DEVELOPMENT THAT THE PLANNING GROUP LOOKS AT ANYWAY, BUT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT 'EM IN DIFFERENT CHAPTERS.
SO BY DOING THIS, UH, TEXT AMENDMENT, WE'RE PUTTING THEM TOGETHER SO THAT IT CAN BE EASIER TO NAVIGATE FOR OURSELVES AND FOR THE CUSTOMER AND FOR THE CONSULTANT AS THEY GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF REWRITING THE ORDINANCE.
UM, FOR THE, THE NEW UPDATE THAT'LL YOU ALL WILL HOPEFULLY SEE IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS OR SO.
SO WE'RE NOT, IT'S A LONG PROCESS.
WE'RE NOT CHANGING ANY TEXT, WE'RE JUST MOVING IT AROUND.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WE, WE DID REMOVE SOME INCONSISTENCIES, SO THERE IS NO SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE FROM, UH, THE PRACTICAL STANDPOINT.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? WE HAVE NO ONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.
SO WE'LL CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING.
WE NEED TO HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE.
I'M MOVE TO APPROVE THIS ITEM.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

[a. Receive a report regarding planning and zoning items.]
DIRECTOR'S REPORT.WE'VE HAD SOME ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED, UH, SINCE OUR LAST MEETING.
THE FIRST ONE IS THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR WISCONSIN STREET, IF YOU REMEMBER.
THAT WAS FOR THE HOMELESS SHELTER.
SO THEY'LL GET TO DO THEIR IMPROVEMENTS THAT THEY, THEY NEED TO DO.
UM, THERE IS A REZONE AT, UH, SEVEN 15 ALAMO STREET, IF I REMEMBER RIGHT.
THAT IS, UH, AM I LOOKING AT THE RIGHT ONE? UM, THE ONE THAT'S, THAT'S RIGHT BEHIND, UH, KOHL'S.
RIGHT? THAT'S THE ONE I'M THINKING OF.
MAKE SURE I GOT, I'VE HAD SO MANY OF THESE FLYING PAST ME.
UM, SO THIS WAS, UH, ABOUT FIVE AND A QUARTER ACRES, KIND OF BACK BEHIND KOHL'S AND MICHAEL'S OVER THERE OFF OF GARTH.
AND, UH, THAT WAS REZONED TO SF TWO TO BUILD 25 NEW SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.
SO THAT WAS ALSO APPROVED BY COUNCIL.
UM, WE HAD THE TEXT AMENDMENT FOR THE MIXED USE ZONE THAT ALLOWS FOR SOME RESIDENTIAL,
[00:45:01]
UM, USES, UH, SOME MULTI-FAMILY TYPE, NOT MULTI-FAMILY, BUT DUPLEX AND ATTACHED, UH, TOWN HOMES, THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT, UM, THAT WAS ALSO APPROVED BY COUNCIL LAST WEEK.AND THEN, UH, WE HAD A BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, UH, HEARING THAT WAS TWO WEEKS AGO LAST WEEK.
REMEMBER MY DAYS ARE RUNNING TOGETHER.
UH, AND SO WE DID HAVE A, UM, A SETBACK VARIANCE APPROVED FOR 84 19 SILVER STREET BOULEVARD, WHICH WAS BASICALLY, THERE WAS A HOUSE BEING BUILT THERE THAT, UH, HAD, IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OFF FROM WHAT THEY SHOWED US AND BY THE TIME WE CAUGHT IT, UH, IT WAS SO FAR GONE THAT IT WASN'T SOMETHING THAT WE COULD REALLY MAKE THEM CHANGE.
SO THEY CAME IN AND, AND, UH, REQUESTED A VARIANCE AND RECEIVED THE VARIANCE SO THE PEOPLE GOT TO, TO KEEP THEIR, THEIR NEW HOME ON, ON SCHEDULE OR CLOSE TO ON SCHEDULE AT LEAST.
SO, UM, I HAVE ONE OTHER ITEM THAT I WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF.
UH, I'VE BEEN THREATENING FOR PROBABLY A YEAR THAT I WAS GONNA PUT YOU GUYS THROUGH SOME REAL TRAINING.
UH, AND SO WE ARE GOING TO START THAT NEXT MONTH.
UM, WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS AFTER THESE MEETINGS, UM, AS ASSUMING THAT THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, LESS THAN AN HOUR, I'D LIKE TO DO AN HOUR'S WORTH OF TRAINING AFTER EACH MEETING.
WE'LL PROBABLY DO THAT FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS OR SO AND TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT, THAT ANYTHING THAT I, 'CAUSE I DON'T THINK THIS BOARD HAS EVER HAD ANY SORT OF, UH, FORMAL TRAINING OTHER THAN, YOU KNOW, THOSE OF YOU WHO'VE STARTED SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE.
WE, WE MEET AND KIND OF HAVE A LITTLE ORIENTATION, BUT THAT, THAT'S KIND OF ALL YOU GET.
SO I'D LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT, THAT THERE'S A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT, THAT WE DO AND WHY WE DO IT AND WHAT THE LAW ALLOWS FOR YOU TO DO SOME THINGS THAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE RUN INTO BEFORE.
AND WE'LL ALSO PROBABLY SPEND SOME TIME LOOKING AT SOME OF THE CODES THEMSELVES.
BECAUSE WE REPORT ON THE CODE, WE TELL YOU WHAT'S IN THERE, WE TELL YOU WHAT IT SAYS AND HOW WE INTERPRET IT.
BUT THEN IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE TO FIND IT OR HOW, OR HOW TO READ IT, THAT THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS HELP YOU IF YOU WANT TO DIVE DEEPER BECAUSE YOU DO HAVE THAT OPTION TO DO THAT.
SO I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY'S ABLE TO DO THAT.
UM, SO WE'LL, WE'LL GET TO THAT OVER THE COMING MONTHS AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL, I HOPEFULLY YOU WILL FIND OUT OF USE.
SO DOES PIZZA COME WITH THAT PIZZA? WE CAN DO SOME PIZZA.
I'M ALRIGHT WITH DOING SOME PIZZA.
