THERE'S SOME INTERESTING INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PLAT.

UM, THIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH ANOTHER PLAT THAT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA BECAUSE IT'S NOT A PRELIMINARY.

THEY HAVE, ARE HAVING TO ABANDON A CURRENT RIGHT OF WAY, WHICH IS IN THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW.

AND THEY ARE LOOPING AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE, UH, IMAGE, THE RIGHT OF WAY TO THE SOUTH OF THE PLAT.

[6. DIRECTOR'S REPORT]

DO I HAVE A TIME LIMIT? YES.

30 SECONDS OR LESS? ? UM, I CAN DO IT IN ABOUT THREE MINUTES PROBABLY.

SO LET'S SEE WHAT'S HAPPENED SINCE LAST MONTH.

UH, CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE MORATORIUM, UH, FOR ANY NEW MULTIFAMILY ZONING THAT IS, UH, IN PLACE UNTIL JULY 1ST, WHICH WILL ALLOW US TO COMPLETE OUR HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND THEN KIND OF STEP BACK WITH THAT INFORMATION AND DECIDE WHERE TO TAKE THINGS FROM THERE.

WHETHER THAT'S A POLICY CHANGE, WHETHER THAT IS A, UH, CODE CHANGE OR, OR WHETHER THERE'S NO CHANGE.

UM, SO WE'LL WE WILL, UM, WE'LL DECIDE THAT WHEN, WHEN THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT IS IS FINISHED.

THE, UH, REZONE FOR BLUE HERON PARKWAY, IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER IT WAS 107 ACRES ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF BLUE HERON.

UM, THAT WAS A CITY INITIATED REZONE THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED.

UM, SO, UH, AND, AND I THINK, UH, GENERALLY WHAT WE HEARD FROM COUNCIL WAS THAT THEY WERE APPRECIATIVE THAT, THAT WE WERE WILLING TO KIND OF STEP BACK AND LOOK AT SOME OF THESE AREAS AND SAY, OKAY, HOW CAN WE, UM, PLAN THESE IN A, IN A, UH, UM, IN A CONSOLIDATED OR IN A MASTER PLAN SORT OF WAY, LIKE OVER TIME HOW, WHAT, WHAT MAKES SENSE? BUT ALSO THE FACT THAT WE BROUGHT IN THE, THE, UM, THE PUBLIC FEEDBACK AND, AND THAT INPUT THAT THAT WAS.

SO WE GOT SOME GOOD FEEDBACK ON THAT.

SO YOU'LL PROBABLY SEE A COUPLE OF MORE OF THOSE FROM US, UM, AS WE GO FORWARD WHERE WE SEE A LOT OF GREEN ON THE MAP AND, AND THOSE AREAS NEED ATTENTION, UM, THEN WE'LL BE BRINGING THOSE FORWARD.

UH, AND BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, UH, THERE WAS A VARIANCE GRANTED, UH, TO THE STREETSIDE SETBACK, UH, AT 2000 NEW JERSEY STREET, UH, AND , I WASN'T AT THAT MEETING.

SO THEY, UM, REDUCED THE STREETSIDE SETBACK BECAUSE IT'S ON A CORNER.

THERE'S A 15 INSTEAD OF 10 FOOT SETBACK ON THE STREET SIDE.

SO FOR VISUAL, THEY, UM, THEY PUT IT AT 15 INSTEAD OF 10, BUT THEY WANTED A VARIANCE BECAUSE THIS IS IN AN OLDER PART OF TOWN AND IT WAS AT 10 FEET BEFORE THE STRUCTURE THAT WAS THERE BEFORE WAS DEMOLISHED AND THEY WERE GOING TO BUILD A RESIDENTIAL HOME, AN INFILL PROJECT, AND, UM, THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT APPROVED IT.

THANK YOU FOR FILLING IN THE GAPS FOR ME.

I'VE SLEPT SINCE THEN.

UM, THE ONLY, I JUST HAD A COUPLE OF OTHER ITEMS, UH, IF YOU REMEMBER SOME, UH, MANY OF YOU WERE IN THE TRAINING THAT WE DID BACK IN, I THINK THERE WAS ONE IN SEPTEMBER AND ANOTHER ONE IN NOVEMBER, AN HOUR EACH.

UM, I FINALLY, UH, HAVE EDITED THOSE INTO A VIDEO AND SO THOSE WILL BE UPLOADED TO YOUTUBE.

SO IF YOU EITHER MISSED ONE OR THE OTHER OR DIDN'T OR MAYBE WEREN'T ON COMMISSION, UM, THOSE SHOULD BE AVAILABLE, UM, ON THE CITY'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL, HOPEFULLY IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

UM, JUST, UH, WHENEVER LLOYD HAS A TIME TO TO GET TO THAT.

SO, UM, FEELING PRETTY GOOD ABOUT THAT.

WE ALREADY KNOW THAT NEXT MONTH'S, UH, AGENDA IS GOING TO BE ABOUT LIKE WAS TONIGHT.

UM, AND SO WE KNOW IT'S GONNA BE A LIGHT AGENDA, SO I THINK WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO PLAN TO DO, UH, AN HOUR'S WORTH OF TRAINING, UH, THAT NIGHT AS WELL.

AND I THINK WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS FOCUS MAINLY ON THE CODE AND HOW TO READ THE CODE, UH, IN TERMS OF ZONING CODE AND SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS.

WE GIVE YOU GUYS THE LITTLE TIDBITS OF CODE THAT YOU NEED AT THE TIME YOU NEED IT, BUT SHOULD YOU EVER NEED TO

[00:10:01]

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, THAT YOU'RE ARMED WITH THAT INFORMATION.

OTHERWISE.

I JUST HAVE ONE OTHER ANNOUNCEMENT.

CHRIS, DO YOU WANNA, SOME OF YOU ALREADY KNOW, THIS WILL BE MY LAST PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION WITH THE CITY OF BAYTOWN FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

UH, I HAVE TAKEN A NEW POSITION AS A PLANNING DIRECTOR OF THE CITY OF DAYTON.

YOU HAVE NOT PROVED THAT .

THAT'S RIGHT.

DID NOT, DID NOT.

I TRIED THAT.

IT DIDN'T WORK.

.

UH, SO YES, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU ALL FOR, UH, ALL OF YOUR INPUT OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS.

SOME OF YOU ALL HAVE BEEN HERE THE ENTIRE TIME THAT I'VE BEEN HERE, SO, UM, BUT OTHERS ARE NEWER TO THE NEWER, NEWER FACES.

BUT OVERALL IT'S BEEN A GREAT RIDE WITH YOU ALL.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK AS STAFF MEMBERS.

UM, YOU GUYS HELP, UM, DIRECT OUR CODE, UM, RECOMMENDATIONS, ALWAYS GIVING US THAT CITIZEN TOUCH, WHICH IS IMPORTANT, UM, BECAUSE WE TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING IT FOR THE BENEFIT OF BAYTOWN, CONSIDERING THE, THE IMPACTS THAT IT HAS ON YOU ALL.
