GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THAT BRINGS US TO SECTION 2 PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS.

2A TONIGHT IS PROCLAMATIONS WE DO HAVE TWO PROCLAMATIONS TO ANNOUNCE TONIGHT.

[A. Proclamations Proclamation recognizing April, 2022 as Child Abuse Prevention Month. (Recipients: Madelyn Mashburn, Alliance for Children and Tammy King, Executive Director of the Children's Advocacy Center of Johnson County.) Proclamation recognizing April 3-9, 2022 as National Library Week. (Recipient: Sara Miller, Deputy Library Director)]

THE RECIPIENTS HERE ARE MADELYN MASHBURN, ALLIANCE FOR CHILDREN, AND TAMMY KING, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER OF JOHNSON COUNTY, MAYOR FLETCHER.

NOW THEREFORE, I MAYOR CHRIS FLETCHER ON BEHALF OF THE CITIZENS OF BURLESON AND THE ENTIRE COUNCIL, HEREBY PROCLAIM APRIL 2022 AS NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH IN THE CITY OF BURLESON. WE'RE GOING TO HOLD OFF ON EVERYBODY.

WE GOT TWO PROCLAMATIONS AND WE'LL COME DOWN HERE IN JUST A MINUTE, IF THAT'S OKAY.

I'LL ANNOUNCE THE SECOND PROCLAMATION.

IT'S A PROCLAMATION RECOGNIZING APRIL 3RD THROUGH APRIL 9TH, 2022, AS NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK. THE RECIPIENT IS SARA MILLER, DEPUTY LIBRARY DIRECTOR AND I BELIEVE SHE HAS OTHER PEOPLE WITH HER. NOW THEREFORE, I MAYOR CHRIS FLETCHER ON BEHALF OF THE CITIZENS OF BURLESON AND THE ENTIRE CITY COUNCIL, HEREBY PROCLAIM APRIL 3RD THROUGH THE 9TH OF 2022 AS NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK IN THE CITY OF BURLESON.

SARA WE'LL GET YOU FIRST AND THEN WE'LL GET TO THE OTHER LADIES.

OKAY? COUNCILOR, Y'ALL WANT TO JOIN ME DOWN FRONT? EVERYONE LOOKING AT ME, PLEASE.

ALL RIGHT. ONE, TWO, THREE.

PERFECT. [APPLAUSE]

[00:06:29]

SO THAT TAKES US TO ITEM 2C, COMMUNITY INTEREST ITEMS.

[C. Community Interest Items This is a standing item on the agenda of every regular meeting of the City Council. An "item of community interest" includes the following: expressions of thanks, congratulations, or condolence; information regarding holiday schedules; honorary recognitions of city officials, employees, or other citizens; reminders about upcoming events sponsored by the city or other entity that is scheduled to be attended by city official or city employee; and announcements involving imminent public health and safety threats to the city.]

HE WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE FUNNIEST, GREATEST EDUCATORS THAT I'VE EVER BEEN AROUND IN MY LIFE, AND I'VE BEEN A LOT OF THEM, BEEN AROUND ON MY SHIP.

[INAUDIBLE] WAS JUST ONE OF A KIND.

IF THERE EVER WAS A GOOD FUNERAL I ATTENDED A GOOD FUNERAL WITH [INAUDIBLE].

WOULD HAVE HAD IT NO OTHER WAY.

WE HAD HIS FAVORITE SINGER WAS ELVIS, AND THEY HAD HIS FAVORITE IMPERSONATOR THERE.

AND IT WAS FANTASTIC.

IT REALLY WAS.

AND I WAS I WILL TELL YOU, I THINK HIS GREATEST ATTRIBUTE WAS HE WAS A FAMILY MAN.

I DON'T THINK YOU CAN SAY BETTER THAN THAT.

BUT EDUCATION WISE, HE WAS FIRST CLASS, FIRST CLASS.

SO I THINK HE DESERVED A WORD ABOUT HIM AT OUR COUNCIL MEETING.

ABSOLUTELY. I HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS IN CASE ANYONE, ANYONE WAS WONDERING WHY THE STREETS OF BURLESON WERE DESERTED ON SATURDAY MORNING, IT'S BECAUSE THE ENTIRE POPULATION WAS AT THE FARMERS MARKET.

THE OPENING EVENT WAS, I THINK, WELL PAST WHAT YOU'D CALL WELL ATTENDED.

IT WAS JUST ABSOLUTELY A ZOO.

A LOT OF THE VENDORS SOLD OUT EARLY AND WE WERE AFFIRMED THAT WHAT A GREAT EVENT THIS IS AND WHAT A WONDERFUL THING TO HAVE.

THE SECOND THING ON MY LIST OF ITEMS IS APRIL SEEMS TO BE THE MONTH FOR BEING, THE MONTH FOR SOMETHING. AND ANOTHER THING THAT APRIL IS THE MONTH FOR IS AUTISM AWARENESS.

AS A FATHER OF AN AUTISTIC SON, I'M AS AWARE OF AUTISM AS I WISH I WERE OR EVER WOULD HAVE WISHED TO BE. BUT I WANT TO READ FOR YOU SOME WORDS THAT MY WIFE COMPOSED SOMETIME BACK WHEN OUR SON WAS YOUNG.

AND IT GOES LIKE THIS.

I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU, IN HONOR OF AUSTIN'S STRUGGLES, AS WELL AS THOSE OF HIS FRIENDS, THAT IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WITH AUTISM, CONSIDER LENDING A HAND TO THE FAMILY.

YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH THEY NEED YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT, ESPECIALLY THE SIBLINGS.

PRAY FOR THEM, MAKE ROOM FOR THEM IN CHURCHES AND OTHER COMMUNITY EVENTS, SPEAK TO THEM ON THEIR AGE LEVEL LIKE THEY UNDERSTAND, BECAUSE THEY PROBABLY DO.

REALIZE THAT MANY ARE HYPERSENSITIVE TO SOUNDS AND CAN HEAR YOUR WHISPERS.

RESPECT THEM, GIVE THE PARENTS A HUG.

THEY NEED IT MORE THAN THEY WILL EVER TELL YOU.

THIS IS AUTISM.

I CHOSE TO CELEBRATE THE BABY STEPS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS, BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO SHARE WHAT SO MANY ARE GOING THROUGH.

THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU, DAN.

IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT OTHER THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO US AND OUR CITY AND OTHER CITIZENS AND WHAT WE GO THROUGH PERSONALLY.

SO THANK YOU. SO IN LIGHT OF US TALKING SO MUCH ABOUT LITTER, I WAS REMINDED THAT WE DO HAVE A DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS CAMPAIGN FOR ANTI-LITTERING AND IT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR 35 YEARS IN 2020, BUT IT STILL IS RELEVANT TODAY AS IT WAS BACK THEN.

[00:10:02]

IT'S FOR IPHONE AND FOR ANDROID USERS.

IT'S BASICALLY CALLED REPORT A LITTERER.

IT'S THE DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS APP.

YOU CAN VERBALLY DO IT.

AND THEY GET A LETTER SENT TO THEM REMINDING THEM THAT WE LIKE TO KEEP THE STATE OF TEXAS CLEAN. WELL, THIS IS FOR ANYTHING FROM CIGARETTES' ALL THE WAY UP TO VERY LARGE THINGS.

AND AGAIN, IT'S COMPLETELY ANONYMOUS.

SO YOU CAN IMAGINE IF SOMEONE GETS A LETTER IN THE MAIL THAT FROM THE STATE OF TEXAS, FROM THE DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS CAMPAIGN THAT SAYS, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE WITNESSED YOU LITTERING ON SUCH AND SUCH LOCATION, YOU MIGHT KIND OF RETHINK YOUR LITTERING.

SO I KNOW THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE EVERYTHING, BUT I BELIEVE IN A LAYERED PROCESS TO MAKING CHANGE.

SO WHILE WE ARE GOING TO DO OUR BEST AS A CITY, I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US ALL AS CITIZENS TO GET INVOLVED AND TRY TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT WE WANT TO KEEP THE CITY OF BURLESON CLEAN AS WELL AS THE STATE.

THANKS. LIKE IT WAS MENTIONED.

THIS IS A MONTH OF MANY THINGS.

TODAY ALSO MARKS THE ANNIVERSARY ON THIS DAY IN 1968, WE LOST A CIVIL RIGHTS ICON IN MARTIN LUTHER KING. SO I JUST WANT TO SHARE THAT AND THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, DAN, FOR SHARING WHAT YOU DID.

I'M WEARING BLUE TODAY BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL SENT OUT A REQUEST FOR ALL THE STUDENTS TO WEAR BLUE TODAY.

AND MY. AND SHE ASKED, ARE YOU GOING TO DO IT TOO FOR YOUR MEETING? AND SO I DID. SO THANK YOU FOR SHARING WHAT YOU DID.

I AM PRIVILEGED TO KNOW SOME FAMILIES THAT ALSO HAVE CHILDREN WITH AUTISM, AND I FOLLOW ALONG THEIR BEAUTIFUL STORIES AND THEIR RESILIENCY.

AND IT JUST IT JUST WHAT YOU SAID, GIVE THOSE FAMILIES A HUG AND SUPPORT AND AND LET THEM KNOW THAT THAT THEY HAVE A FRIEND IN YOU.

SO I WANTED TO MAKE NOTE OF A COUPLE OF EVENTS.

WE RECOGNIZED LIBRARY WEEK AND THIS COMING SATURDAY THE LIBRARY BURLESON PUBLIC LIBRARY WILL CELEBRATE ITS 51ST BIRTHDAY.

SO FROM 1:00 TO 3:00 YOU CAN SWING BY THE LIBRARY.

I KNOW THAT THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY HAVE BEEN HARD AT WORK AND MAKING FUN EVENTS AND PLANNING A REALLY COOL, FUN ACTIVITIES AND PLANNING FOR A REALLY COOL EVENT.

SO IF YOU HAVE TIME THAT AFTERNOON, SWING BY.

THERE'S ALSO SOME REALLY COOL EGG HUNTS THIS SATURDAY MORNING, SO THEY'RE SPACED OUT BY AGE GROUP. THERE'S I THINK ONE AGES FIVE AND UNDER WILL BE AT RUSSELL FARM IN THE MORNING. AND THEN THERE'S AN AQUA EGG HUNT AND THERE'S ANOTHER HUGE EGG HUNT WITH BOUNCE HOUSES AND ALL TYPES OF OTHER ACTIVITIES AT CHISHOLM FIELD.

SO FOR THE FAMILIES THAT ARE GOING TO BE IN THE AREA THIS WEEKEND, LOOK OUT FOR THOSE EVENTS. I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BE SUPER FUN.

AND THEN THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY, THE 16TH, WE'RE HAVING THE RIBBON CUTTING FOR THE PUBLIC ART. AND I KNOW LAST MEETING, COUNCIL MEMBER STANFORD MENTIONED IT.

IT'S REALLY BEAUTIFUL, JUST COLORFUL AND BRIGHTENING.

AND I CAN'T WAIT TO BE A PART OF THAT EVENT.

SO IF YOU HAVE TIME NEXT SATURDAY MORNING, THE 16TH, THE RIBBON CUTTING WILL BE AT 10:00 AND WE'D LOVE TO SEE YOU OUT THERE.

I WANT TO STACK ON TO WHAT DAN WAS TALKING ABOUT.

WE HAVE A LOCAL NONPROFIT CALLED THE CENTER FOR ASD.

THESE ARE GOOD PEOPLE.

THEY NEED FUNDS.

THEY NEED VOLUNTEERS.

AND IF YOU WALK THROUGH THIS PLACE, AND IT DOESN'T TOUCH YOUR HEART THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU. THERE'S A REAL NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY TO HELP OUT ON THIS.

THE ISD HAS GROUPS AND WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT ASD SOMETIMES YOU THINK, WELL, IT'S SMALL KIDS, THEY HAVE PEOPLE OVER THERE THATS' IN THEIR FIFTIES AND THEY NEED HELP.

SO ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, THAT'S A GOOD PLACE TO ASK.

AND BURLESON IS AMAZING FOR OUR NONPROFITS.

I'M REALLY PROUD OF HOW THEY STEP UP AND AND DO WHAT THEY DO.

SO ON THAT, I WANT TO GO DOWN THE ROAD ON ONE OTHER THING.

I GUESS EVERYBODY REALIZES WE'VE GOT A BOND COMING UP.

AND I WANT TO REACH OUT TO OUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT ON THE BROCHURE THAT THEY MADE AND HOW INFORMATIVE I WAS SPEAKING THE OTHER NIGHT.

AND A GUY CAME UP TO ME AND I SAID, YOU DIDN'T SAY NOTHING.

YOU DIDN'T ASK ANYTHING. I SAID, WELL, WHEN I GOT THROUGH IT, THE BROCHURE, ALL THE ANSWERS WERE THERE.

I'M FINE WITH HOW YOU VOTE YES, NO, THAT'S UP TO YOU.

BUT WHEN YOU VOTE, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE PROPER INFORMATION TO GO BY.

AND ONCE AGAIN, DEANNA PHILLIPS AND THAT WHOLE BUNCH THAT PUT THAT THING TOGETHER HAS KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK AGAIN.

SO THANK Y'ALL.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THAT BRINGS US TO SECTION 3, CHANGES TO THE POSTED AGENDA 3A IS ITEMS TO BE CONTINUED OR

[3. CHANGES TO POSTED AGENDA]

[00:15:07]

DO I HAVE ANY? HANG ON A SECOND, AMANDA , HOLD ON A SECOND.

I THINK WE COULD ADD 6B ONTO THE CONSENT AGENDA.

[INAUDIBLE] B AS IN BOY.

I'M SORRY. OKAY.

SO ADDING AN ITEM TO THE CONSENT AGENDA REQUIRES A MOTION AND A SECOND AND A VOTE BY THE CITY COUNCIL. SO ALLOW ME TO READ THE ITEM 6B.

SO 6B IS UNDER GENERAL, 6B IS CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PAYMENT OF THREE YEARS OF SUBSCRIPTION FEES TO SHI GOVERNMENT SOLUTIONS FOR THE MICROSOFT ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT IN THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $293,000.

IS THERE A MOTION? IS THERE A MOTION ON THIS? SO MOVED, I'LL SECOND.

I GOT A MOTION BY DAN, AND A SECOND BY JIMMY.

PLEASE VOTE. I DID.

PASSES UNANIMOUS. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. COUNSEL ITEM 6B IS NOW MOVED ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA.

BILL JANICE 117 NORTHEAST CLINTON.

I'M HERE TO SPEAK OUT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE APRIL BEING THE NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MENTAL, PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, SEXUAL AND NEGLECT OF ALL KINDS. IN TEXAS ALONE IN 2020, THERE WAS MORE KIDS THAT DIED FROM ABUSE THAN A TWO PREVIOUS YEARS, IT'S GROWING OUT OF CONTROL.

THERE'S AN AVERAGE OF 7 KIDS DYING FROM ABUSE ABOUT EVERY HOUR, 184 VICTIMS BETWEEN THE AGES OF ZERO AND 17 DAILY.

I'M A GENERAL CONTRACTOR AND I'M IN AND OUT OF HOUSES.

I GET I DO A LOT OF VOLUNTEER WORK.

THERE'S TIMES WHEN I'LL GET A CALL FROM A DOOR BEING KICKED IN.

I'LL GET THERE AND I'LL SEE THESE KIDS ARE SCARED, SCARED TO DEATH.

EVERY NOW AND THEN ONE WILL MENTION TO ME, YOU KNOW, DADDY OR SOMEBODY KICKED THE DOOR IN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I'LL SEE A HOLE IN THE WALL.

I CAN RECOGNIZE A FIST HOLE.

I CAN RECOGNIZE THE SIZE OF A HEAD.

IT MAKES ME SICK.

I DON'T STAND THERE AND TAKE IT.

I TURN THESE PEOPLE IN.

IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS MORE PEOPLE NEED TO GET INVOLVED.

IF YOU HEAR SOMETHING OR IF YOU THINK SOMETHING'S GOING ON, PEOPLE NEED TO SPEAK UP.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET THE POLICE INVOLVED BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID THAT YOUR NAME WILL END UP ON SOMETHING AND SOMEONE WILL COME GET YOU, TELL SOMEBODY ELSE CALL ME I'LL GET INVOLVED HOWEVER I GOT TO.

I WORKED WITH A GUY, NOT REALLY WORKED WITH HIM.

HE WAS IN OUR GROUP ABOUT 100 FEET AWAY BACK IN 1991, OUT OF GENERAL DYNAMICS, GUY DROVE A BRAND NEW TRUCK. HIS WIFE HAD BRAND NEW CARS, BOYS DRESSED, YOU KNOW, GREAT CLOTHES.

I COME HOME ONE DAY. CHANNEL FIVE NEWS THEY HAVE THE POLICE ON THERE.

HIS 13 YEAR OLD SON HAD BEEN CHAINED TO A BED.

THEY STARVED HIM. THEY NEGLECTED HIM.

THEY TORTURED HIM. THE BOY WEIGHED 55 POUNDS, MADE ME SICK.

I MEAN, EVERY DAY WHEN I HAD TO WALK IN AND WALK PAST HIS DESK, I MEAN, IT'S JUST ONE OF THE THINGS WHERE YOU JUST WANT TO CHUCK IT OUT THE WINDOW.

I MEAN HIS MOM WHEN I ASKED HIM.

HIS MOM. WHAT DID YOU SAY TO YOUR SON? SHE SAID, OH TELL HIM I LOVE HIM.

THAT WASN'T LOVE. TORTURE IS NOT LOVE.

TAKING FOOD FROM A KID IS NOT LOVE.

I MEAN, IT'S ONE THING WE AS A COMMUNITY, WE GOT TO WATCH OUT FOR THIS STUFF.

A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW I GOT A SON.

I HAD ANOTHER SON THAT DIED IN 2001 FROM CANCER.

HIS HE DIED RIGHT AFTER HE TURNED FOUR.

HIS ALMOST 400 DAYS OF SUFFERING FROM CANCER DOES NOT COMPARE TO ONE HOUR OF TORTURE THAT SOME OF THESE KIDS GO THROUGH.

IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, PLEASE SAY SOMETHING.

[00:20:01]

BETTY ARBOR 320 TINKER TRAIL.

WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO CHAZ FORSTER ON HIS FANTASTIC ORGANIZATION OF THE BURLESON FARMERS MARKET.

THE BURLESON FARMERS MARKET IS SUCH A WONDERFUL PLACE FOR CITIZENS OF BURLESON AS WELL AS THEIR CHILDREN, AND IS ALSO A BIG DRAW FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO COME ENJOY OUR CITY.

BIG THANK YOU TO CHAZ.

THAT IS THE ONLY ONLINE SPEAKER CARD THAT I HAVE.

I HAVE ONE MORE SPEAKER CARD, BUT IT'S DIRECTLY RELATED TO A POSTED ITEM.

THAT WILL MOVE US ON TO SECTION 5 CONSENT AGENDA.

[5. CONSENT AGENDA All items listed below are considered to be routine by the City Council and will be enacted with one motion. There will be no separate discussion of the items unless a Councilmember or citizen so requests, in which event the item will be removed from the consent agenda and considered in its normal sequence. Approval of the consent agenda authorizes the City Manager to implement each item in accordance with staff recommendations.]

APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA AUTHORIZES THE CITY MANAGER TO IMPLEMENT EACH ITEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS.

TONIGHT'S CONSENT AGENDA CONSISTS OF ITEMS 5A THROUGH 5L AND ITEM 6B MAYOR.

IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE? I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE. I'LL SECOND.

OH, RONNIE GOT ME.

I'VE GOT A MOTION BY DAN AND A SECOND BY RONNIE.

PLEASE VOTE. PASSES UNANIMOUS.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THAT MOVES US ON TO SECTION 6 GENERAL.

[A. Consider approval of a resolution authorizing a real estate contract with Gene P. Escoe, as seller, to purchase fee simple title to a 2.927 acre tract of land, more or less, situated in Johnson County, Texas, commonly known as 11013 County Road 1020, for the purchase price of $350,000 and other consideration as prescribed in the contract; authorizing the City Manager to execute all documents necessary to close on the contract; authorizing the expenditure of funds; incorporating the recitals; and providing an effective date. (Staff Presenter: Eric Oscarson, Director of Public Works)]

ESCOE AS SELLER TO PURCHASE FEE SIMPLE TITLE TO 2.927 ACRE TRACT OF LAND SITUATED IN JOHNSON COUNTY, TEXAS, COMMONLY KNOWN AS 11013 COUNTY ROAD 1020.

FOR THE PURCHASE PRICE OF 350,000 AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL THE DOCUMENTS NECESSARY.

TONIGHT, STAFF PRESENTER IS ERIC OSCARSON, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS, ERIC.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL TONIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU IS A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF THE CONTRACT FOR THE PURCHASE OF PROPERTY, WHICH IS CORRELATED TO THE MIC]. SO THE PROPERTY FOR SALE IS THIS PARCEL HERE LOCATED AT 11013 COUNTY ROAD 1020.

IT'S A THREE BEDROOM, TWO BATH, JUST SHY OF THREE ACRES.

THIS PROPERTY WAS NOTIFIED MIC] SO JUST A QUICK FEW THINGS BY THE NUMBERS.

THE HOME WAS LISTED AT $285,000 BY BY THE HOMEOWNER.

THE AVERAGE SELLING PRICE PER ACRE IS CURRENTLY ABOUT ANY QUESTIONS? I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

[INAUDIBLE] CAN I CALL HIS SECOND? LET'S SAY LET'S JUST DO A MANUAL VOTE RIGHT NOW, SO IF YOU'LL JUST.

OKAY I GOT A MOTION BY DAN AND A SECOND BY JIMMY.

MAYOR. IT'S A MOTION BY RICK GREEN.

OH, I'M SORRY. I GOT A MOTION BY [INAUDIBLE] I GOT A MOTION BY RICK AND A SECOND BY JIMMY. ALL IN FAVOR.

PASSES UNANIMOUS.

THANK YOU. SO MAYBE JUST RESET THAT ONE.

[00:25:08]

THE NEXT ITEM IS 6C REMOVE FROM THE TABLE AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A MINUTE ORDER FOR

[C. Remove from the table and Consider approval of a minute order for appointments to city boards and commissions for 2021-2024 terms and vacancies. (Staff Presenter: Amanda Campos, City Secretary)]

I AM TONIGHT'S STAFF PRESENTER.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THIS ITEM MAY LOOK FAMILIAR TO EVERYBODY.

THE FIRST ITEM IS TO REMOVE FROM THE TABLE THIS ITEM SO THAT YOU GUYS CONSIDER THIS CAN CONSIDER THIS ACTION.

IS THERE A MOTION? MOVE FOR APPROVAL.

SECOND HERE WE GO. PLEASE VOTE.

MOTION PASSES 6 TO 1.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

SO THE APPOINTMENTS AND COUNCIL POLICIES COMMITTEE MET ON OCTOBER 18TH OF 2021.

THE MEMBERS THERE ARE LISTED COUNCIL MEMBER VICTORIA JOHNSON, RICK GREEN AND JIMMY STANFORD. THEY REVIEWED THE APPOINTMENTS TO THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND THE ONE UNEXPIRED TERM FOR PLANNING AND ZONING.

THIS WAS PRESENTED BEFORE THE COUNCIL ON NOVEMBER 8TH, AT THE REGULAR MEETING AT THAT TIME THIS COUNCIL DECIDED TO TABLE THE ITEM, SO WE TABLED THE ITEM.

THERE WAS NO SPECIFIC MEETING DATE GIVEN AT THE TIME OF WHEN THIS ITEM WAS TABLED.

ACCORDING TO COUNCIL POLICY 17 HOWEVER, THIS WAS TO RETURN AUTOMATICALLY AFTER 180 DAYS.

HOWEVER, IN THE INTERIM, I DID RECEIVE A REQUEST TO PUT THIS ITEM BACK ON TO AN AGENDA.

THESE ARE THE APPOINTMENT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, AS YOU CAN SEE THERE.

THERE ARE THREE NEW APPOINTMENTS TO THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY AND ONE RE ON THE PLANNING AND ZONING.

THERE WAS ONE RECOMMENDATION FOR A NEW APPOINTMENT, BUT IT'S AN UNEXPIRED TERM WHICH ENDS THIS YEAR AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER.

AT THIS TIME ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? I'LL GO AHEAD AND GO FIRST.

MY CONCERN AGAIN WITH THE PROCESS IS THAT THE WHOLE COUNCIL DOESN'T GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE WHO IS WHO IS ACTUALLY GETTING AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE PUT ON THESE BOARDS.

ALSO, TOO I KNOW PLACE TWO REAPPOINTMENT, MATTHEW G.

HE DOES NOT LIVE IN BURLESON OR ANYWHERE NEAR BURLESON, FOR THAT MATTER, SO I DON'T THINK HE SHOULD BE PLACED ON THERE.

I THINK THAT SHOULD BE RESERVED FOR RESIDENTS OF BURLESON.

SO WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION FROM MATTHEW G THAT HE DOES NOT LIVE IN THE CITY. IN FACT, THE LAST TIME WE SPOKE TO HIM, HE WAS STILL A RESIDENT OF THE CITY.

SO WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION THAT THEY'VE FORMALLY OR OFFICIALLY MOVED OUT OF THERE OF THE CITY.

HE LIVES DOWN THE STREET FROM HIS HOUSEHOLD A WHILE BACK.

I THINK IT'S QUITE KNOWN MOST PEOPLE IN HERE ARE ON FACEBOOK.

HE LIVES IN SOUTH TEXAS SOMEWHERE NOW.

SO FOR ME, THIS IS KIND OF THE CONCERN I HAVE WHEN WE'RE ACTUALLY TRYING TO VET THIS WITH JUST THREE PEOPLE THAT MAYBE, MAYBE WE MIGHT MISS SOMETHING.

IT WOULD BE NICE IF THE ENTIRE COUNCIL WAS AWARE OF WHO ALL IS RUNNING AND GET A CHANCE FOR THE ENTIRE COUNCIL TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A SAY.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY HAVE A SAY.

MY FEELING IS THEY DON'T HAVE A SAY IF THEY DON'T KNOW WHO ALL IS TO BE SELECTED FROM.

THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE HERE IS YOU'RE PUTTING AMANDA ON THE SPOT HERE AND ASKING HER TO KIND OF GO AROUND WHAT HER JOB IS.

AND SHE CAN'T UNLESS MATTHEW CALLS HER OR GIVES HER NOTICE THAT HE DOESN'T LIVE IN TOWN, SHE CAN'T GO.

SO WHAT WILL HAPPEN THEN? WILL YOU JUST REAPPOINT? WILL A NEW APPOINTMENT HAPPEN? SO WHEN THESE APPOINTMENTS, IF THEY'RE APPROVED TONIGHT, THEN WE WILL REACH OUT TO EACH ONE OF THESE APPOINTEES TO CONFIRM THEIR APPOINTMENT AND SEND THEM DOCUMENTS TO FILL OUT

[00:30:02]

THEY'LL LET US KNOW THAT TOO.

OKAY. WELL, I'M GOING TO JUST STATE FOR THE RECORD THAT WE ARE ELECTED OFFICIALS AND WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF DIGGING, OF DIRT ABOUT WHO WE ARE, RIGHT DOWN TO OUR COMMENTS ON FACEBOOK OR ANY TYPE OF SOCIAL MEDIA, HOW WE SPEAK TO PEOPLE. WE'RE HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD AS ELECTED OFFICIALS.

AS ELECTED OFFICIALS IT'S OUR JOB ON THE APPOINTMENTS COMMITTEE TO APPOINT PEOPLE THAT WE BELIEVE CAN DO THE JOB AND UPHOLD THE SAME STANDARDS OF WHICH WE WANT OUR CITIZENS TO SEE OF US. I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE MADE A VERY POOR CHOICE FOR ONE OF THESE APPOINTMENTS, AND I'M DISAPPOINTED IN THE APPOINTMENTS COMMITTEE.

WHILE I CANNOT CHANGE ANYTHING GOING BACKWARDS REGARDING HOW THE APPOINTMENTS HAPPEN, I WANT TO MAKE SURE I HAVE THIS ON THE RECORD THAT.

WE ARE APPOINTING SOMEONE THAT HAS CAUSED ME TO GET SECURITY TO AND FROM COUNCIL MEETINGS FOR FEAR. WE ARE APPOINTING SOMEONE THAT HAS SAID HATEFUL BEYOND HATEFUL THINGS ABOUT INCREDIBLE AMOUNTS OF PEOPLE IN THE CITY AS WELL AS SITTING IN THIS ROOM.

WE'RE APPOINTING SOMEONE WHO HAS REFERENCED MASTURBATION IN A PUBLIC POST ON FACEBOOK.

AND I'M GOING TO SAY THAT I'M DISAPPOINTED AND I BELIEVE YOU AS CITIZENS SHOULD EXPECT MORE OF YOUR COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT YOU ELECTED.

BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WE APPOINT TO THESE COMMITTEES, THEIR JOBS ARE IMPORTANT, EVEN RIGHT DOWN TO THE LIBRARY BOARD.

THEY REPRESENT THIS CITY.

THEY SHOULD HOLD HIGHER STANDARDS AS WELL.

IF THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO BASH AND TAKE OUT OTHER PEOPLE, THEN THEY TOO SHOULD BE OPEN FOR THAT SAME SCRUTINIZATION.

AND I WILL TELL YOU THAT I'M SHAKING FOR SAYING THIS BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO BE PUT IN THIS POSITION.

BUT I'M GOING TO SAY IT LOUD AND CLEAR.

ONE OF THE APPOINTMENTS CAUSED ME TO GET ESCORTED TO AND FROM COUNSEL.

SO I DO HAVE AN ONLINE SPEAKER CARD THAT WAS SUBMITTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS ITEM.

JASON MORSE 337 COLORADO DRIVE.

AS A SITTING MEMBER OF THE BURLESON PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE ARE ACTIVE IN FILLING THE VACANT SEAT.

IT HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE TO MEET A QUORUM AND WE HAVE BEEN FORCED TO CANCEL A RECENT MEETING. AND HAVE WE HAD TO DELAY ANOTHER DUE TO CHALLENGES OF HAVING THE VACANT SEAT.

AND I HAVE NO OTHER SPEAKER CARDS.

ONLINE SPEAKER CARDS ARE.

HERE'S KIND OF MY POSITION ON THIS.

I FEEL LIKE THE PROCESS NEEDS TO BE CHANGED.

I DO. THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A LITTLE OVERSIGHT IN THIS A LITTLE BETTER.

BUT THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING IS THE RULES WERE SET WHEN WE STARTED THIS.

I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF CHANGING THE RULES AT THE END.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO WITH THIS.

I REALLY DON'T I DON'T APPRECIATE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT'S BEEN ON FACEBOOK.

I WISH EVERYBODY GET OFF THAT STINKING THING.

BUT IT'S THERE.

IT HAPPENS. BUT WHERE DO WE GO WITH THIS? I MEAN, IT'S PEOPLE NOT GOING TO WANT TO GET ON THE BOARD IF WE SCRUTINIZE THEM LIKE THIS. ANYBODY GOT AN ANSWER FOR ME BECAUSE I'M TELLING YOU IF WE MAKE IT HARD TO BE ON THESE COMMITTEES, WE COULD HAVE MORE OF A PROBLEM.

GO AHEAD, TAMARA. [INAUDIBLE] MAYOR, WHETHER WE CHOOSE TO EXAMINE, CHANGE, RECONSTRUCT THE METHOD BY WHICH WE RECOMMEND APPOINTMENTS.

THIS PARTICULAR GROUP OF APPOINTMENTS WAS MADE AND ACCORDING TO THE CHARTER OF THE CITY AND THE WAY THE RULES WERE AT THE TIME, THERE IS NO REASON TO FIND FAULT IN THAT PROCESS HERE AFTER IT'S BEEN CONDUCTED PROPERLY AND IN ORDER.

IT'S POSSIBLE THAT A MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL OR MORE MAY HAVE ISSUES WITH ONE OR TWO OF THE APPOINTEES, BUT THAT SHOULDN'T AFFECT THE ENTIRE PROCESS.

[00:35:03]

IT'S A MAJORITY VOTE BY THE RECOMMENDATIONS [INAUDIBLE] THE COMMITTEE THAT CHOOSES THESE APPOINTEES AND I WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND VOTE ON THESE, TRY TO SETTLE THIS TONIGHT AND MOVE FORWARD. AND IF IT'S THE WILL OF THE COUNCIL IN THE FUTURE TO REEXAMINE THE PROCESS OF MAKING THESE RECOMMENDATIONS.

BUT LET'S DO THAT ON ANOTHER DAY.

IF Y'ALL ARE READY FOR A MOTION I'LL MAKE ONE.

OKAY I'VE GOT A MOTION BY DAN, AND THAT MOTION IS TO APPROVE THE.

IF YOU'LL HOLD ON JUST A MINUTE.

LET US CATCH UP ON THE VOTING THERE.

LET'S START OVER, DAN. THERE YOU GO.

THANK YOU. AND WHAT IS THAT MOTION? PLEASE VOTE. MOTION PASSES 6 TO 1. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THAT BRINGS US TO SECTION 7 REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS.

7A IS RECEIVE A REPORT, HOLD A DISCUSSION AND PROVIDE STAFF DIRECTION REGARDING THE

[A. Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff direction regarding the Chisholm Summit development. (Staff Presenter: Tony McIlwain, Director of Development Services)]

TONY. YES, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

GIVE ME ONE MOMENT TO GET SET UP HERE.

THANK YOU, JAMES. SO TONIGHT, IT'S MY PLEASURE TO BRING TO YOU A PRESENTATION ON CHISHOLM SUMMIT. AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, THIS IS A MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITY THAT YOU ALL CONSIDERED SOME TIME AGO AS PART OF A 3D AGREEMENT.

TONIGHT IN ATTENDANCE, WE HAVE MR. ROCKY BRANSON AND ALSO MR. JASON BOND OF [INAUDIBLE] DEVELOPMENT.

AND MR. BOND IS HERE TO TAKE US THROUGH THE PRESENTATION OF CHISHOLM SUMMIT.

AND THEN AFTER THAT, WE'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS THAT MAY ARISE.

JUST. OKAY.

THANK YOU, SIR. ALL RIGHT, MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

JUSTIN BOND, I'M GLAD TO BE HERE TONIGHT.

WALK YOU THROUGH A LITTLE BIT OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON WITH THE CHISHOLM SUMMIT DEVELOPMENT.

OF COURSE, AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS A LARGE COMMUNITY THAT WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER ON THE WEST SIDE OF BURLESON, NEAR THE CHISHOLM TRAIL PARKWAY.

A FEW THINGS THAT I WANT TO BE SURE THAT I GET ACROSS TONIGHT IS THAT YOU SEE THAT IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS THERE'LL BE A SERIES OF ORDINANCES AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS THAT REALLY HELP TO MAKE EVERYTHING OFFICIAL.

AND I WANTED YOU TO KNOW JUST WHAT IT IS THAT'S INVOLVED IN ALL THAT.

WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK OVER THE LAST TEN MONTHS OR SO TO REALLY GET A LOT OF THINGS PUT TOGETHER. ANOTHER THING TO REALLY BRING TO YOU IS THAT WE'VE BEEN BUSY COORDINATING WITH A SERIES OF PARTNERS.

THE TEAM'S A LOT BIGGER THAN EVEN WHAT WE'VE PRESENTED.

AND JUST ROCKY AND I STARTING OUT WITH THIS, THERE ARE A LOT OF FOLKS THAT HAVE DONE SOME HEAVY LIFTING TO HELP TO BRING THIS COMMUNITY TO FRUITION.

AND SO I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE FIRST 160 ACRES THAT WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER AS WHAT WE'VE CALLED A DEVELOPMENT AREA AND WALK YOU THROUGH THAT.

THE THIRD THING IS JUST FOR YOU TO SEE THAT THE COMMUNITY IS GOING TO DELIVER ON THE PARKS AND THE SPACES THAT WE ALL INTENDED WHEN WE FIRST REALLY STARTED TO PUT THIS WHOLE CONCEPT TOGETHER.

AND SO WITH THAT, I THINK SOME GOOD BACKGROUND IS THAT IN 2021, THERE WERE 58,000 NEW HOME STARTS ACROSS DALLAS-FORT WORTH, UP FROM 43,000 THE YEAR BEFORE.

THE AVERAGE NEW HOME VALUE WAS UP TO $385,000.

I DON'T REALLY HAVE TO EXPLAIN THAT TO ANYBODY.

YOU PROBABLY HAVE A PERSONAL STORY FROM ONE SELL OR PURCHASE OR ANOTHER.

AND AND SO WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, OUR AREA IS GROWING AND WE'VE SAID FROM THE BEGINNING, IN MANY WAYS WE WANT TO GROW IN THE RIGHT WAY AND WE FEEL LIKE THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DELIVERED WITH THIS FIRST BIG DEVELOPMENT AREA.

I'VE WALKED YOU THROUGH JUST KIND OF THE GENERAL ITEMS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A GENERAL UPDATE. I HAVE A NUMBER OF SLIDES.

I'M GOING TO LET THE PICTURES TALK AS MUCH AS I CAN AND ASK FOR YOUR FEEDBACK AT THE END SO THAT WE CAN HAVE SOME, SOME REALLY GREAT DIRECTION ON THIS.

YOU'LL RECALL AS FAR AS CONTEXT AND JUST FOR OTHERS WHO THIS MAY BE THE FIRST TIME THEY'VE HEARD ABOUT CHISHOLM SUMMIT.

IT IS A LARGE AREA THAT STRETCHES A COUPLE OF MILES EITHER WAY, ALL THE WAY OUT NEAR THE

[00:40:02]

PROBABLY ONE OF THE MAJOR THINGS THAT YOU WILL SEE IN THE COMMUNITY WILL SEE IS THIS EXTENSION OF LAKEWOOD DRIVE, WHICH WE KNOW NOW BEING AT THE SOUTH END OF BURLESON, NEAR THE QT AND THE TEXAS HEALTH BURLESON FACILITY THAT ALREADY GOES NOW OVER THE TRACKS TO COUNTY ROAD 1021.

THIS WILL CONNECT ON VIA COUNTY ROAD 914 THROUGH THE CHISHOLM SUMMIT PROPERTY ON TO 1902 AND EVEN STRETCHING OVER TO THE CHISHOLM TRAIL PARKWAY.

THIS BECOMES A MAJOR ARTERIAL THAT WITHIN 5 MINUTES CONNECTS STATE HIGHWAY 174 WITH THE CHISHOLM TRAIL PARKWAY, A MAJOR GOAL IN TRAFFIC MOVEMENT AND ALLOWING A LOT OF NEW ROUTES THROUGH THIS SOUTH PART OF TOWN.

WE'VE WORKED OVER THE LAST NUMBER OF MONTHS ON A SERIES OF DESIGN PLANS WITH THE CITY'S REVIEW. WE'VE STARTED THE PROCESS OF DOING SOME EARLY GRADING OUT ON THE PROPERTY AND THEN ARE CLOSING IN ON GETTING THESE DRAWINGS PACKED TOGETHER AND IN A FORMAT THAT WE'RE GOING TO DELIVER ON A MILE AND A HALF OR SO OF ROAD STARTING AT COUNTY ROAD 1016 THROUGH OPEN PROPERTY, AND THEN COMING BACK ON TO COUNTY ROAD 914, WHICH IS AN ACTIVE ROAD WITH A VERY DETAILED TRAFFIC PLAN THAT ALLOWS US TO EXPAND THAT ROADWAY AS WELL.

SO YOU REMEMBER THE GENERAL LAYOUT AND THIS LOOKS SUPER SMALL, BUT REMEMBER IT'S A COUPLE OF MILES EITHER WAY.

THE REASON I SHOW THIS IS TO HELP TO HIGHLIGHT WHERE WE'RE FOCUSING.

AND SO AS JUST A REFRESHER ON THE NUMBERS, THIS IS A PLUS 3,000 UNIT PROPERTY OVER THE NEXT 15, 20 YEARS.

10 MILES OF CONNECTED TRAIL, 100 ACRES OF PARK, AS WELL AS SOME COMMERCIAL AND IMPORTANTLY, AN OFFICE PARK AREA.

SO THIS BUSINESS PARK IS IN COORDINATION WITH THE BURLESON FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND A PROPERTY THAT WAS PURCHASED AND WE ARE EXCITED TO SEE THAT THAT'S A COMPONENT OF THIS.

IT REALLY ADDS TO THE TO THE LIVE WORK WITH THIS COMMUNITY.

AND SO IN THIS BUSINESS PARK ON THAT EDGE OF CHISHOLM SUMMIT WILL BE CONNECTED THROUGH LAKEWOOD TO THE CHISHOLM TRAIL PARKWAY.

AS A REFRESHER JUST ON THE DIFFERENT LOT SIZES AND TYPES, THIS HAS EVERYTHING FROM THE SMALLER LOT FOR THE SMALLER FAMILY TO THE LARGER ESTATE LOT TO ANYTHING FROM A TOWNHOME AND IN A LARGER HOME ON THE HILL.

AND SO AS WE GO THROUGH EACH PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT, WE ARE TRYING TO KIND OF INTERSPERSE DIFFERENT TYPES AS WE GO.

WANTED TO REVIEW TOO WHAT SOME OF THOSE HOME PRICE VALUES LOOK LIKE.

THIS WILL BECOME IMPORTANT AS WE START TO EVALUATE THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, WHICH VERY MUCH FEEDS OFF OF WHAT WHAT IS THE VALUE OF THESE HOMES THAT ALLOWS FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, PARKS TO GO ON THE GROUND, PARKS TO BE MAINTAINED, VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE WOULD LOOK AT AS PART OF A CITY BUDGET PROCESS.

IT RANGES ANYWHERE FROM A TOWNHOME UP TO A LARGER ESTATE HOME.

SO IN OUR GENERAL LAYOUT ON THIS NORTHWEST SIDE NEAR 1902 IS WHERE THIS IS FROM OUR ORIGINAL PRESENTATION IS WHERE WE WOULD START.

THAT IS WHERE WE'RE STARTING AND WE'LL BE BRINGING ANNEXATION FORWARD TO BRING A LOT OF THAT PROPERTY INTO PLAY.

THIS FIRST AREA IS ABOUT 160 ACRES, AS I MENTIONED, OF FOUR DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WERE NAMED ON THE CONCEPT PLAN CASCADE, WHITE HILLS, SADDLE BROOK AND PROMENADE.

SO THE COMMUNITY PARKS IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT.

A LOT OF TIMES THE COMMUNITY MAY COME IN OR DEVELOPMENT MAY HAPPEN THAT TRIES TO SIDESTEP THE LARGE PARK. IT WAS IMPORTANT FROM THE BEGINNING FOR US.

THIS NEEDS TO BE FRONT AND CENTER.

THE PARK NEEDS TO GO ON THE GROUND, THE LARGEST PARK IN A WAY THAT THE COMMUNITY CAN BENEFIT IN ITS FIRST DAYS.

AND SO IN THE CENTRAL PORTION, JUST TO THE SOUTHWEST OF WHERE LAKEWOOD IS, IS THIS CASCADE PROMENADE NEIGHBORHOOD AREA.

AND THIS MAP SHOWS JUST CLOSE TO 400 LOTS THAT ARE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

TO GIVE YOU SOME CONTEXT, IT'S ABOUT 100 ACRES JUST IN THIS ONE COMPONENT.

AND SO AS YOU ZOOM IN ON THE PARK AREA, THIS IS OUR MAIN COMMUNITY PARK THAT'S OVER TEN ACRES, WARREN PARKS ABOUT FIVE.

AND SO WE SEE THAT JUST ONE HALF OF THAT, EVEN THE POND IS ABOUT THAT SIZE.

IT'S HARD ON THESE DRAWINGS.

IT'S JUST LITTLE SQUARES AND SHAPES.

AND SO WE'VE TRIED TO IMPROVE ON WHAT IT IS THAT WE WOULD GET TO EXPERIENCE AS A PART OF THAT PARK. SO LOOKING AT IT FROM ONE SIDE, I PERSONALLY LIKE HOW THE PARKING GOT LAID OUT. I THINK IT'S A GOOD WAY TO BE ABLE TO THINK ABOUT MY WIFE TAKING OUR BUS, BASKETBALL TEAM, KIDS INTO THE PROPERTY AND HOW THAT'S A VERY NICE PLACE TO JUST GO DIRECTLY TO IT.

ANYTHING FROM A SPLASH PAD TO THREE PLAYGROUND AREAS, A PAVILION IN A COMMUNITY BUILDING,

[00:45:03]

AND AND SO WE'VE USED THEM AS NATURAL DEMARCATION AREAS.

THIS IS A POND THAT WILL BOTH SERVE AS DETENTION AS WELL AS BE A STAINING LEVEL POND.

AND SO WE CAN STOCK IT, HAVE A PIER ON IT, AND THEN HAVE AN AMPHITHEATER THAT'S LOCATED JUST ADJACENT TO THAT.

AND SO THIS BECOMES A CENTRAL COMMUNITY PARK THAT IS OPEN AND AVAILABLE TO ALL RESIDENTS, BUT IS FUNDED AND PUT ON THE GROUND BY THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.

THE COMMUNITY BUILDING WILL BE A COMPONENT OF THE HOA, THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, AND SO IT'S AVAILABLE TO THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.

IF THE CITY WANTED TO TAKE OVER THE COMMUNITY BUILDING AND OPERATE IT, THAT'S ONE THING.

BUT I THINK YOU GOT ENOUGH FACILITIES.

YOU'LL HAVE OTHER THINGS YOU WANT TO DO OUT THERE.

AND SO THIS IS A GOOD BUILDING THAT ALLOWS US TO PROVIDE A PLACE FOR PARTIES AND GATHERINGS FOR THOSE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE'VE TRIED TO STAY WITH THIS WESTERN THEME AS WE HIGHLIGHTED FROM THE BEGINNING, EVEN LOOKING AT A PAVILION THAT WOULD HAVE KIND OF A HAY BARN LOOK TO IT.

THERE'S SOME FOLKS IN THERE FOR SOME SCALE.

I LIKE THAT. IT'S A SHADED SPOT NEXT TO THE SPLASH PAD.

IT'S ONE THING TO HAVE A SPLASH PAD.

IT'S ANOTHER THING WHEN YOU'RE OUT THERE.

IF YOU WANT TO BE A PARENT UNDER THE PAVILION, I COULD SEE A BIRTHDAY PARTY INCORPORATING BOTH OF THOSE, LOOKING AT A LOT OF NATIVE PLANTINGS, BOTH WITH THE PARK AS WELL AS ALONG THE LAKEWOOD ARTERIAL AREA.

ALL THAT WILL BE ENUMERATED VERY SPECIFICALLY IN CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS THAT WE PUT TOGETHER, BUT THAT HAS BEEN THE FOCUS WITH US IN OUR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT.

WE'RE AGAIN TRYING TO STAY WITH MATERIALS THAT CAN BE HEARTY AND LONG LASTING.

WE LIKE THIS TUBE STEEL COMPONENT THAT YOU SEE ON A LOT OF RAIL FENCES, THIS KIND OF THAT HORSE FENCE FEEL.

USING THAT EVEN AS AN ARCHWAYS, YOU START TO COME INTO THE COMMUNITY AND DIFFERENT PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY AREAS, THE ARTERIAL FENCING.

WE PUT TOGETHER A SIX FOOT FENCE THAT'S PIPE RAIL THAT HAS A WROUGHT IRON COMPONENT TO IT WITH LANDSCAPING.

AND SO YOU HAVE ALMOST THIS THIS WIRE RAIL THAT RUNS THROUGHOUT THE PROPERTY GIVES A HORSE FENCE FEEL, BUT ALSO MIXES WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE'VE USED THAT A LOT, AND I THINK YOU'LL SEE THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

SO INSIDE THESE DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT AREAS ARE A NUMBER OF BUILDERS, A COUPLE OF BUILDERS THAT WE'RE FAMILIAR WITH AND A COUPLE THAT WILL BE NEW TO THE COMMUNITY.

AND AS WE GO ON, WE WANT TO HAVE A GOOD GROUP OF BUILDERS THAT ARE BOTH ENHANCING AS WELL AS ONES THAT WE KNOW THAT WE CAN COUNT ON.

AND SO WITH THIS FIRST LARGE SINGLE FAMILY AREA, WE ARE WORKING WITH A TEAM AT BLOOMFIELD. AND BLOOMFIELD ACTUALLY WILL BRING IN ANOTHER BUILDER THAT THEY'LL COORDINATE AS WELL. AND 300 LOTS IS A LOT.

THAT'S A LOT TO TO WORK ON.

THIS FIRST DEVELOPMENT AREA WILL BE OUR FIRST TWO OR THREE YEARS OF WORK THAT YOU SEE HOMES COMING OUT OF THE GROUND.

WE'LL BE DEVELOPING ALONGSIDE OF THAT BUT WE'LL HAVE PLENTY TO SAY GRACE OVER WITH WITH THESE FIRST BIG DEVELOPMENT AREA.

WE ALSO HAVE A TOWNHOME THAT I'M PERSONALLY VERY EXCITED ABOUT.

THIS IS A BUILDER THAT'S IN ABOUT 12 DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT DALLAS-FORT WORTH.

AND THEY ONE THING I REALLY LIKED IS THAT THERE THEY WILL ADJUST THE ARCHITECTURE.

WE'RE THINKING ABOUT TAKING THESE, THESE COMPONENTS AND MAKING IT MORE OF A BATON BOARD LOOK THAT KIND OF MIMICS WHAT WE SHOWED ON THE COMMUNITY BUILDING.

THESE GUYS PACK A LOT OF SPACE INSIDE A SMALLER UNIT WHEN YOU GO VISIT THESE TOWNHOMES.

AND WE SEE AS A RESPONSE TO A LOT OF THESE HOME PRICES, FOLKS ARE ABLE TO OWN A SPACE BUT NOT HAVE TO OWN A LARGE HOME PROPERTY.

I THINK IT'LL BE VERY APPEALING AS YOU APPROACH THE LARGE PARK.

IT'S GOING TO BE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE ROADWAY ONE WAY, EITHER WAY WITH 100 FEET OF A LINEAR SPACE THAT YOU'RE THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO PLAY AND WALK BETWEEN.

AND THESE TOWNHOMES WILL FRONT THAT.

SO THESE GUYS AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO ANNOUNCE THEM, I THINK, SOON ENOUGH, JUST KIND OF GETTING TO TERMS AND FINISHING UP SOME THINGS, BUT A REALLY COOL COMPONENT INSIDE THIS FIRST PHASE. ANOTHER ONE I THINK THAT IS WILL BE ATTRACTIVE TO FOLKS AS A NEW BUILDER IS A GROUP CALLED LADERA THAT DOES AN ACTIVE ADULT COMMUNITY.

THIS SERVES THAT 55 AND UP AGE BRACKET AND SOMETHING THAT WITH 160 170 LOTS IN THIS 25, 30 ACRE AREA, SOMEONE CAN OWN AN INDIVIDUAL SPACE WHILE ALSO BEING A PART OF A COMMUNITY THAT HAS PICKLEBALL, THEIR OWN AMENITY CENTER, BUT ACCESS ALSO TO THE TRAILS ACROSS THE OVERALL COMMUNITY.

AND SO THESE GUYS ARE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT COMING TO BURLESON.

AND I THINK WE HAVE A MARKET THAT'S REALLY GOING TO PLAY WELL WITH THEM JUST ON A PROPERTY LIKE THIS. WOULD THIS BE GATED OFF? BECAUSE IT WILL BE SPECIFIC FOR THAT COMMUNITY.

THAT'S RIGHT. SO THEY'LL HAVE THEIR OWN GATE.

THEY'LL ACTUALLY HAVE THEIR OWN KIND OF HOA MAINTENANCE COMPONENT INSIDE THERE.

BUT THEY'LL HAVE PUBLIC CONNECTIONS, NOT ONLY VEHICULAR FOR EMERGENCY ACCESS, BUT WE WERE

[00:50:04]

FEEL ALL CONNECTED.

YES, MA'AM. THAT'S RIGHT. NICE.

AND IT'S ALL HOMES.

IT'S NOT APARTMENTS.

THAT'S RIGHT. THESE ARE ALL INDIVIDUAL.

IT'S A YOU'LL SEE IT PLATTED OUT AS ONE BIG LOT AND IT'S GOING TO BE A CONDO ASSOCIATION.

BUT YOU OWN A SINGLE FAMILY CONDO, WHICH IS ANYWHERE FROM 1900 FEET UP TO 2800 FEET.

THAT RANGES IN SIZE THROUGHOUT THE OVERALL PROPERTY.

SO IT'S OWNERSHIP INSIDE AN ASSOCIATION UNIT AND IT'S BROKEN APART INTO SINGLE FAMILIES.

SO HERE'S A COUPLE OF ELEVATIONS OF WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT, DOING A LOOK AT THEIR SPACE WITH THE HUB.

AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY PICKLEBALL, BUT MAYBE SOMEBODY WHO MOVES IN ONE OF THESE HOUSES WILL INVITE ME OVER AND TEACH ME HOW TO PLAY PICKLEBALL.

WE'RE ALSO GLAD TO SEE ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'VE DONE A COUPLE OF TIMES IN TOWN AND HAVE HAD GREAT RESPONSE WITH THE BRANSON HOMES TEAM WITH THESE DETACHED GARAGE COTTAGE HOMES THAT WOULD BE A PART OF THIS SAME SINGLE FAMILY GROUP.

WE'RE STILL PUTTING THE PLANS TOGETHER.

THESE OTHER AREAS ARE KIND OF FIRST IN THE HOPPER, EVEN AS THEY LAY OUT.

BUT WE WILL START TO LAY THIS COMMUNITY OUT WHERE WE HAVE ABOUT 150 LOTS.

THAT'S ABOUT THE SIZE OF REVERIE WHICH BRANSON HOMES HAS DONE.

ALSO, THAT'S LOCATED BEHIND WALMART NEIGHBORHOOD MARKET, A LITTLE BIT LARGER THAN HERITAGE VILLAGE HERE DOWN WARREN STREET.

AND SO JUST TO WRAP THOSE POINTS UP AT THE COMPLETION OF THIS FIRST LARGE DEVELOPMENT AREA, WE HAVE LAKEWOOD DRIVE THAT CONNECTS THE CHISHOLM TRAIL PARKWAY INTO THE SOUTH PART OF TOWN. WE HAVE A LARGE COMMUNITY PARK AND AMENITY CENTER INCLUDED THAT WILL BE SERVING THIS THE CHISHOLM SUMMIT FROM THIS POINT FORWARD.

WE HAVE A LARGE STOCK POND.

WE HAVE A FEATURE ENTRANCE THAT'S LINED BY THESE TOWNHOMES AND TRAILS.

OVER 700 NEW ROOFTOPS THAT RANGE ANYWHERE FROM A TOWNHOME TO ACTIVE ADULT AND THEN NEARLY TWO MILES OF WALKING TRAILS THAT WILL BE PUT DOWN IN THIS FIRST BIG SWING.

SO I WANTED TO COMPLIMENT A NUMBER OF FOLKS THAT ARE ON OUR TEAM.

IT'S NOT JUST ROCKY AND I ANYMORE SKETCHING OUT STUFF IN THE OFFICE.

IT IS A A MUCH LARGER TEAM OF BUILDERS AND SURVEYORS AND AND DISTRICTS AND ARCHITECTS AND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS AND ATTORNEYS EVEN WE EVEN LET THEM IN THE ROOM.

SO THERE'S THERE'S ALL KINDS OF WAYS THAT THIS HAS BEEN SERVED.

A REALLY IMPORTANT GROUP ON THERE IS THE CITY OF BURLESON.

I WANT TO HIGHLY COMPLIMENT BOTH TOMMY LUDWIG AND BRIAN AND ALL THE DIRECTORS AND THEIR TEAMS HAVE WORKED WITH US INCREDIBLY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS AND PUTTING THE RIGHT THINGS TOGETHER.

AND IT'S AND SO WE JUST REALLY APPRECIATE THE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH THESE GUYS.

OUTSIDE OF THAT, I DON'T WANT TO STEP PAST YOU.

YOU SAID YOU MIGHT GO THROUGH THESE, RIGHT? I'LL TAKE IT, JUSTIN. AS FAR AS UPCOMING DATES COUNCIL, WHAT WE HAVE ON THE SCREEN, THERE ARE OUR BEST ESTIMATES OF WHEN THINGS WILL GET COMPLETED OR WILL WE HAVE SUBSTANTIAL ADVANCEMENT OF SOME OF THE WORK ON SOME OF THESE ITEMS. SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE INCLUDED A LOT OF THE ENGINEERING RELATED ITEMS WITH REGARD TO ROAD CONSTRUCTIONS, WATER, AND SEWER IMPROVEMENTS IN HEART SCRAPING.

AND JUSTIN JUST RECENTLY, JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO HAS GOTTEN STARTED ON THE ANNEXATION PROCESS WITH US IN TERMS OF OUR SUBMITTING APPLICATIONS AND HIM GOING THROUGH THOSE TO GET ALL THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS TO CITY STAFF.

SO AS HE MENTIONED, WE'RE LOOKING AT A PROJECT HERE WITH OUR DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL RUN 15 TO 20 YEARS, IS VERY COMPLEX, VERY INVOLVED, AND WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO BE WORKING WITH THEIR TEAM AND IS THIS THE LAST SLIDE? I THINK WE HAVE ONE MORE.

OKAY. THANK YOU. WITH REGARD TO SOME OF THE ENTITLEMENT RELATED THINGS AS FAR AS UPCOMING DATES, OF COURSE, CONSTRUCTION, BUDGET APPROVAL FOR LAKEWOOD, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES IS WORKING ON IS FINALIZING THE ZONING FOR THIS PROPERTY.

WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING WITH LEGAL, OF COURSE, WITH PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT HEARINGS. AND I'LL LET JUSTIN WRAP IT UP TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE EFFORTS THEY'RE DOING WITH REGARD TO PUBLIC OUTREACH.

JUST ALWAYS HAVE FOUND WITH ANY LARGE LAND USE PROJECT QUESTIONS CAN BE YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE, BECAUSE THE ANSWERS CAN BE SCARIER WHEN WE DREAM UP WHAT THE ACTUAL ANSWERS ARE NOT. AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE OURSELVES AVAILABLE.

AND MY PHONE NUMBER IS ON THE VERY LAST SLIDE.

YOU CAN FIND IT ON THE PRESENTATION DECK.

AND SO REACH OUT TO US, MYSELF OR ROCKY, BUT WE'LL HAVE COMMUNITY MEETINGS THAT ARE GOING

[00:55:01]

AND WE'LL DO SOME OPEN HOUSE MEETINGS WHERE PEOPLE CAN COME AND GO.

THEY CAN STAY FOR AS LONG AS THEY WANT AND JUST GET EVERY LITTLE QUESTION ANSWERED.

IF THEY JUST HAVE THE ONE THING THAT THEY HEARD FROM THEIR NEIGHBOR THEY WANT TO CLARIFY.

OUR TEAM IS GOING TO BE THERE.

SO WE HAVE THOSE DATES NOW SUBJECT TO CHANGE, BUT I'VE GOT THEM PRETTY WELL LOCKED IN.

SO WE'RE I JUST WANT TO BE SURE YOU KNEW AS YOU GOT QUESTIONS OR PEOPLE MENTIONED WHAT MENTIONED WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON WITH THIS BIG NEW NEIGHBORHOOD ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN THAT YOU CAN YOU CAN SEND THEM OUR WAY, IF THAT'S SOMETHING YOU'D LIKE TO DO SO.

I THINK THAT THAT WAS MY LAST SLIDE AND WE'LL TAKE STEPS, DIRECTION ON HOW YOU WANT TO GO FROM HERE. JUSTIN, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.

WE HAVE A TON OF APARTMENTS.

AND I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FOR BEING WILLING TO FIT THE THE NEED OF THE TOWNHOMES AND CONDOMINIUMS, WHICH OUR COMMUNITY GREATLY LACKS.

THAT'S GOING TO BE A HUGE, HUGE, HUGE DIFFERENCE.

THE ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU ABOUT, I'VE NEVER PLAYED PICKLEBALL EITHER, BUT IT'S APPARENTLY VERY, VERY POPULAR.

SO BY YOU GETTING THAT OFF, YOU MAY HAVE YOU MAY HAVE SOME ISSUES OF PEOPLE WANTING TO CLIMB THAT GATE. SO IF YOU WANT TO BUILD A PICKLEBALL COURT OUT, YOU KNOW, JUST SAYING.

OKAY, YEAH, THEY HAVE.

I LIKE THE WAY THEY'VE ARRANGED THE DEVELOPMENT WHERE THEY BOTH HAVE A GOOD ENTRANCE THAT WILL BE GATED AND SECURE.

SO IF THERE'S A ROGUE PICKLEBALL PLAYER, THEN I'M OKAY WITH THAT LEVEL OF CRIME ON THIS SIDE OF TOWN. I THINK THAT'S AS BAD AS IT GETS.

WELL, I REALLY THANK YOU, THOUGH.

THE ONLY CONCERN I HAVE ON THIS WHOLE THING IS DOWN ON THE END OF LAKEWOOD IS THE CURVE.

AND I KNOW THAT'S FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD.

I KNOW THAT'S GOING TO GO THROUGH SOME PEOPLE'S PROPERTY AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

AND IF THEY'RE NOT READY TO SELL, THEN THAT COULD BE AN ISSUE DOWN THE ROAD.

BUT I JUST, YOU KNOW, THAT'S.

BUT EVERYTHING ELSE LOOKS GREAT.

THANK YOU. YEAH.

I WANT TO TELL YOU GUYS BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY.

THE PARK LOOKS AMAZING.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL ENTRANCE THAT'S GOING TO BE.

AND I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS.

I THINK IT'S GOING TO REALLY IMPROVE PEOPLE EVEN WANTING TO COME HERE MORE, WHICH I KNOW EVERYBODY HATES THAT. I ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT YOUR TEAM HAS BEEN WONDERFUL IN REACHING OUT TO US TO KEEP US UPDATED, ALBEIT I HAVE NOT BEEN AVAILABLE TO MEET WITH YOU GUYS.

I DO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOUR TEAM FOR BEING CONSISTENT.

I WANT TO GIVE A PAT ON THE BACK TO WHOEVER HAS BEEN DOING THAT, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK THAT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN TRYING TO GET A HOLD OF ME, ME IN PARTICULAR SO.

WELL, WE'RE ALWAYS AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS COME UP.

THIS IS A LONG HAUL PROCESS.

YOU'LL SEE LOTS OF FUN DOCUMENTS COMING ACROSS AND FEEL FREE AS WE GO TO JUST ASK WHERE WE ARE. ANYBODY ELSE? THANK YOU, JUSTIN. THANK YOU, APPRECIATE IT.

MAYOR COUNCIL THAT BRINGS US TO 7B, RECEIVE A REPORT, HOLD A DISCUSSION AND PROVIDE STAFF

[B. Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff direction regarding redevelopment of 130 E. Renfro Street and E. Ellison Street pedestrian improvements. (Staff Presenter: Alex Philips, Director of Economic Development)]

PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS TONIGHT STAFF PRESENTER IS ALEX PHILLIPS, DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. MR. PHILLIPS THANK YOU.

MS. CAMPOS AND MAYOR AND COUNCIL HERE TO DISCUSS 130 EAST RENFRO STREET KIND OF OUTLINE AN RFP AND KIND OF GET DIRECTION FROM YOU GUYS, THE WHERE HILL COLLEGE IS AT TODAY.

SO THE PURPOSE OF THIS PRESENTATION IS KIND OF REVIEW THE VISION FOR THE RFP, REVIEW THE DRAFT OF THE RFP FOR 130 EAST ELLISON STREET.

LET'S DISCUSS THE EVALUATION PROCESS AND REVIEW THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION.

SO JUST KIND OF GOING BACK IN TIME A LITTLE BIT, THE TIMELINE THE CITY PURCHASED THE SITE FROM FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH TO HOUSE HILL COLLEGE BACK IN 2005.

IN 2020, THE CITY BISD AND HILL COLLEGE AGREED TO RENOVATE AND MOVE HILL COLLEGE OVER TO THE OLD KERR OLD HIGH SCHOOL AND JOHNSON STREET, WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN JANUARY OF 21.

LAST YEAR, BURLESON EDC PURCHASED A SLOT FROM THE CITY WITH THE VISION TO REDEVELOP.

AND WE'RE HERE TODAY TO DISCUSS THE VISION OF THE RFP.

SO THIS IS KIND OF A CONCEPTUAL HIGH LEVEL VIEW ON THE RIGHT LOOKING OVERVIEW ALLOWED FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT TO ALLOW RETAIL, RESTAURANT AND OFFICE USE NO MORE THAN 32 FEET IN HEIGHT. WE GOT THAT 32 FEET IN HEIGHT BASICALLY FROM THE OTHER RFP THAT WE'VE ISSUED DOWN IN OLD TOWN. JUST TO KIND OF TAKE THAT SAME VERBIAGE, THAT SAME HEIGHT RESTRICTION, IT'S USUALLY DEPENDING ON THE LEVELS OF WHAT THEY HAVE IN THE FIRST FLOOR.

IT COULD BE IT'S USUALLY TWO, WITH ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS.

IT COULD BE THREE DEPENDING ON THE HEIGHTS.

[01:00:04]

AND WE'LL TIE IN TO THE OLD DISTRICT.

OLD TOWN DISTRICT WALKABILITY WE'LL CONSIDER ALL OPTIONS RECEIVED ABOVE IS JUST REPRESENTED AS A PREFERENCE, BUT NOT A REQUIREMENT.

ON THAT SECOND BULLET POINT ON THAT PAGE, I WOULD REMOVE THE WORD PREFER.

OKAY. WE CAN DO THAT.

I DON'T THINK WE NEED ANY RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT IN THIS PARTICULAR SITE.

I THINK IT WOULD BE INCONGRUOUS WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD THE WAY IT'S DEVELOPING OR HAS DEVELOPED ALREADY. WE CAN DO THAT.

THANKS. THESE ARE JUST SOME IMAGES, SOME CONCEPTUAL OF WHAT WHAT IT COULD LOOK LIKE THAT WE WORKED WITH AN ARCHITECT DOWN THERE TO KIND OF CREATE A VISION FOR THE SITE.

THE ONE ON THE LEFT IS JUST LOOKING IF YOU'RE IN RENFRO STREET, LOOKING BACK TOWARDS DOBSON AND WHAT THE HILL COLLEGE SITE WOULD LOOK LIKE, SOME OPEN AIR POSSIBILITIES OF PATIO OFF TO THE DOBSON STREET SIDE.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S YOU CAN'T SEE IT REAL WELL HERE BUT THERE'S A TURN IN INTO THE DEVELOPMENT HERE. THE NAME KATY GROVE IS JUST A NAME THAT'S JUST THROWN UP THERE.

IT'S CONCEPTUAL. IT'S NOT I DON'T CARE FOR IT OR THE COLOR, BUT THAT'S JUST ME.

SO RFP KEY ELEMENTS WE'RE LOOKING AT POSSIBLY IF THE DIRECTIONS GOOD WITH COUNCIL IS TO RELEASE THIS RFP BY THE END OF THIS MONTH AND LET IT GO FOR 90 DAYS OUT INTO THE PUBLIC DEVELOPMENT PUBLIC FOR PROPOSALS KIND OF GET A PROPOSAL, PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE DATE IN THERE AND THEN PROPOSALS DO THE END OF JULY OF THIS YEAR AND THEN LOOK TO DO INTERVIEWS AND THEN BRING IT BACK TO COUNCIL.

IF I HAD TO GUESS, PROBABLY THE OCTOBER TIME FRAME FOR YOU GUYS TO DECIDE ON WHICH WAY TO MOVE FORWARD. SO THE SUBMITTALS WILL INCLUDE PROJECT TEAM DESCRIPTION, THEIR SCHEDULE, PROJECT SKETCH, TEAM REFERENCES, INVESTMENT COSTS, TRANSACTION DETAILS AND ALL THE VARIOUS LEGAL FORMS THAT THEY HAVE TO SUBMIT.

SO EVALUATION CRITERIA, THESE THIS IS THE SAME TYPE OF CRITERIA THAT WE'VE USED ON THE OTHER RFPS AND WE PUT A SUBSTANTIAL POINT ON PROJECT VISION AND DEVELOPMENT SCENARIO AND JUST CAPTURING THE VISION OF OLD TOWN AND HOW THEY'RE GOING TO EXTEND THAT EXPERIENCE IS A BIG ONE FOR US AS WELL.

PROJECT COST AND BENEFIT AT 20 POINTS.

ACCESS TO CAPITAL AND THEN ANTICIPATED PROJECT TIMELINE.

DO YOU? I WAS LOOKING AT THE TIMELINE THING AND AND IS IT JUST ABOUT WHEN THEY THINK THEY CAN FINISH IT? IT'S NOT A SPECIFIC TIME FRAME THAT WE'RE SETTING THEM TO IN THE RFP? NOT IN THE RFP, BUT WE WANT THEM TO SUBMIT, YOU KNOW, HEY, ARE YOU GOING TO SUBMIT ON THIS? AND YOUR PROJECT IS, HEY, I'M NOT GOING TO START IT UNTIL 2025.

YEARS FROM NOW. YEAH. WE DON'T WANT THEM TO.

YOU KNOW. WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO GET SOME TYPE OF TIMELINE FROM THEM OF WHEN THEY WOULD LOOK AT CONSTRUCTING THIS.

SO IN THE RFP PROCESS, ONCE EVERYTHING'S IN WE WOULD EVALUATE THOSE STAFF WOULD WE'D HAVE AN EVALUATION COMMITTEE, INTERVIEW THE TOP THREE PROPOSALS AND THEN PRESENT THOSE TOP THREE TO COUNCIL AND HAVE A RECOMMENDATION FOR COUNCIL FOR US TO ENTER INTO NEGOTIATION FOR AN AGREEMENT WITH A DEVELOPER.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT RFP PROCESS, THE CRITERIA, THE EVALUATION OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT FOR US TO MOVE FORWARD AND YOUR ELEVATION REVIEW PROJECTED? ARE YOU GOING TO TRY TO MAINTAIN THE OLD TOWN LOOK? YES, SIR. OKAY.

BECAUSE WHAT YOU HAD ON THERE LOOK LIKE NEW MEXICO.

YES, SIR. OKAY.

YEAH, THAT WAS MY ONLY CONCERN WITH THIS WAS THE RENDERINGS.

IT JUST DOESN'T LOOK LIKE OLD TOWN.

SO WE'LL MAKE SURE.

OKAY. THE OTHER PORTION OF THIS PROJECT ARE WHAT I WANT TO DISCUSS IN COORDINATES WITH THE HILL COLLEGE SITE IS EAST ELLISON STREET DESIGN PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS.

WE'VE DONE A GOOD JOB OF DOING THE PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS AND COUNCIL DIRECTING US ON THE WEST SIDE OF ELLISON HEADING TOWARDS JOHNSON AND ALL THOSE ARE UNDERWAY.

BUT LOOKING AT FROM THE RAILROAD TRACKS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO SCOTT STREET OF PUTTING IN THE SIDEWALKS, THE WALKABILITY, THE LIGHTING, THE LANDSCAPING, ALL OF THAT BACK TOWARDS THE FREEWAY THAT WAY IT'S ALL WE HAVE A GREAT CORRIDOR ACROSS THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACKS FOR THAT.

SO ON THAT OTHER SIDE, THERE'S LACK OF SIDEWALKS, THERE'S DRAINAGE CONCERNS.

WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF BAR DITCHES THAT WE WOULD END UP WE'D BE ABLE TO GET RID OF WITH NEW SIDEWALKS AND BEAUTIFY SOME MAJOR INTERSECTIONS ON THE OTHER SIDE.

WITH DOBSON, WITH CLARK, EVEN COMMERCE STREET HAVING THAT ABILITY TO DO THAT.

[01:05:03]

SO PRELIMINARY DESIGN WE'D CONDUCT SURVEYS, COORDINATE WITH STAFF ON DESIGN COUNCIL WOULD BE STILL HAVE FINAL APPROVAL OF WHAT THE PROJECT WOULD LOOK LIKE.

WE WOULD BRING BACK A 30 TO 40% DESIGN FOR APPROVAL TO MOVE FORWARD TO THE FINAL DESIGN.

KIND OF LIKE WHAT WE'VE DONE WITH THE PARKING LOT AT THE OPD.

FINAL DESIGN PRODUCE ALL CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR BIDDING AND THEN CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION WOULD COORDINATE WITH GENERAL CONTRACTOR DURING THE CONSTRUCTION JUST FOR THE DESIGN PROJECT COST OF THAT CONTRACT $142,610.

SO IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU ALL WERE GOOD WITH MOVING FORWARD, WE'D BRING BACK THAT CONTRACT IN A FUTURE MEETING FOR APPROVAL TO GET THE DESIGN MOVING FORWARD.

ANY QUESTIONS? I LIKE IT.

ARE THEY GOING TO ADDRESS THE PARKING ISSUE? WE WOULD HAVE. THERE BE SOME ADDITIONAL RIGHT OF WAY PARKING THAT WE WOULD BE LIKE IN FRONT OF THE BAKER HOUSE.

THAT'S GRAVEL.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME THERE'S SOME AREAS DOWN THIS SECTION OF ROADWAY.

WE'LL LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES FOR RIGHT OF WAY PARKING.

WE REALIZE THAT'S GOING TO BE BROUGHT UP.

I MEAN, IT'S A CONCERN NOW.

HE DID GOOD ON THE FARMER'S MARKET.

IT'S JUST GOING TO GET WORSE.

I MEAN, YOU DOING YOUR JOB TOO GOOD, OKAY.

HEY, IF A PARKING PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE DOWN HERE, I'LL TAKE IT ALL DAY LONG.

I HEAR YOU. THE MEANS OF BUSINESS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

OKAY. I THINK ALEX, I'M SORRY.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO. I WAS GOING TO SAY A COMMENT ON THE PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS.

I THINK WE PROBABLY NEED TO OPEN THE SCOPE OF THAT A LITTLE BIT, CONSIDERING WHAT YOU HAVE THERE TO START WITH. AND I'M TALKING FROM THE STANDPOINT OF A PERSON WITH SOME DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE, I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU CAN JUST THROW SIDEWALKS ON THE SIDE OF THAT EXISTING ROADWAY.

YOU'VE GOT SOME PRETTY BAD INTERSECTIONS, APPROACHES TO DOBSON IN BOTH DIRECTIONS OR JUST NEARLY VERTICAL, AND THE DRAINAGE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE THROUGH THERE.

SO JUST THROWING IT OUT THERE NOW AS AN IDEA, WE MIGHT BE LOOKING AT A COMPLETE STREET REDESIGN INSTEAD OF JUST TRYING TO ADD TRAILS AND STUFF.

WE'LL LOOK AT THAT DRAINAGE AS A PART OF THE SCOPE, ALONG WITH SOME OF THE LANDINGS AND EVERYTHING AT THOSE INTERSECTIONS.

BUT I'LL GET WITH DUNAWAY AND ASSOCIATES WHO WE'RE USING.

I WOULD DEFINITELY TAKE A LOOK AT DUNAWAY'S IDEAS.

YES SIR. BUT I MEAN, BETWEEN PARKING ISSUES, DRAINAGE ISSUES, LACK OF PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY, LACK OF BIKE CONNECTIVITY, WHICH IS PRETTY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THIS THIS STREET GOES DOWN AND THEN CONNECTS TO THE OAK VALLEY TRAIL VIA SCOTT STREET.

AND IT CAN BE A VERY POPULAR BIKE AREA AS WELL.

SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR ALL THOSE KINDS OF TRAFFIC.

AND I KNOW NOBODY'S GOING TO BE EXCITED ABOUT SPENDING $4 MILLION TO REBUILD THE STREET CORRIDOR, BUT IT MAY TAKE THAT TO GET IT TO SOMETHING THAT WE COULD ALL LIVE WITH.

BUT IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT CORRIDOR.

AND ANYWAY.

SO WITH THAT. MAYOR PRO TEM, ARE YOU SAYING SOMETHING LIKE PUTTING CURBS AND SUCH? I THINK BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I THINK, TOO.

I THINK YOU'RE DEFINITELY LOOKING AT THAT.

I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO PROBABLY REGRADE THE STREET, FLATTEN OUT SOME OF THE INTERSECTIONS, LOWER THE GRADING IN THE STREET IN ORDER TO PROVIDE FOR DRAINAGE, FOR HEAD END PARKING OR SIDE PARKING OR WHATEVER KIND OF PARKING YOU HAVE.

IF YOU PUT IT IN THERE NOW, YOU'RE EITHER IN DITCHES OR YOU'RE IN AREAS THAT DON'T HAVE A DITCH, DON'T DRAIN WELL, PAVE THEM AND THEY WON'T DRAIN.

YOU'LL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO.

I THINK WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT A CLEAN SHEET DESIGN.

OKAY. SO IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG TICKET ITEM.

YEAH. LOOK, IF WE DO IT RIGHT.

ANYBODY ELSE? WELL, DEFINITELY A GREAT FEEDBACK AND I DO BELIEVE IT CAN GET VERY COSTLY ON SOME OF THOSE THINGS. WE'LL ALSO LOOK AT A PHASING COMPONENT TO IT OF HOW YOU COULD EITHER DO IT ALL AT ONCE OR POTENTIALLY DO SOME PIECES AT A TIME.

BUT WE CAN BRING ALL THAT BACK TO YOU WITH SOME OPTIONS.

I'LL GET WITH OUR CAPITAL GROUP AND SEE WHAT THEY BECAUSE I'M NO ENGINEER, SO I'LL GET WITH THEM. OKAY IS EVERYBODY ON BOARD? WE'RE GOOD? EVERYBODY, RONNIE.

[INAUDIBLE] ON BOARD. THANK YOU, GUYS.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THAT BRINGS US TO 7C.

[C. Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff direction regarding the Burleson West Transit Oriented Development (TOD) District. (Staff Presenter: Tony McIlwain, Director of Development Services)]

MR. [INAUDIBLE].

THANK YOU. MR. CAMPOS.

COUNCIL, TONIGHT I'M BRINGING TO YOU A PRESENTATION THAT IS ESSENTIALLY A CONTINUATION OF SOMETHING THAT MR. LUDWICK SPOKE ABOUT DURING HIS PRESENTATION REGARDING THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT WE HAVE HERE IN THE CITY.

AS YOU MAY REMEMBER FROM HIS PRESENTATION, THE PURPOSE OF THE [INAUDIBLE] WAS TO

[01:10:05]

JUST BY PURPOSE AND SCOPE, I'M GOING TO JUST DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO THOSE BULLET POINTS.

WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION WITH JUST SOME BACKGROUND ON HISTORY, SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT WE THINK ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE RAIL LINE.

THE TOD DISTRICT DENSITIES THAT WE HAVE OUT THERE NOW, THEN SOME OPTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER, WHETHER THEY'RE ONE, ONE OR THE OTHER OR SOME COMBINATION OF BOTH THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT AS WELL TONIGHT.

SO WITH REGARD TO BACKGROUND IN HISTORY, JUST WHAT IS A TRANSIT ORIENTED DISTRICT? IT'S A LAND PLANNING CONCEPT THAT INCORPORATES MIXED USE.

PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT IS INTENDED TO BE COMPACT AND LOCATED NEAR RAIL AND MASS TRANSIT OPPORTUNITIES.

OUR TOD IS LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF SOUTHWEST SALISBURY BOULEVARD AND HULEN STREET, AND THE WAY THAT OUR ZONING FOR THAT AREA IS WRITTEN UP, IT ALLOWS FOR A HIGH DEGREE OF RESIDENTIAL DENSITY AND MIXED USES.

SO WHAT THE DISTRICT FOCUSES ON IS FACILITATING AND SUPPORTING A FUTURE COMMUTER RAIL HERE AT THE BURLESON STATION.

JUST BY WAY OF CONTINUED BACKGROUND WITH REGARD TO A TIMELINE, WE FIRST HAD THE WHAT WE CALL THE W-4 ALIGN IDENTIFIED WITH THE NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS 2025 MOBILITY PLAN. THAT WAS BACK IN 2000 AND BURLESON A FEW YEARS LATER WAS IDENTIFIED AS A GENERAL LOCATION FOR A TRANSIT STOP.

FOLLOWING UP ON THAT. THE CITY VOLUNTARILY ANNEXED LAND TO SERVE AS A FUTURE TOD.

AND THEN IN 2006, THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE PLANT DEVELOPMENT AND AMENDMENT TO THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE CREATION OF THE TOD AREA.

CONTINUE ON WITH THE TIMELINE.

IN 2007, THE CITY PURCHASED TEN ACRES OF LAND TO SERVE AS A FUTURE RAIL SITE, AND THE NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS MOBILITY PLAN 2030 MOBILITY PLAN ALSO INCLUDED W4 LINE.

IN 2012, AS YOU MIGHT RECALL, FROM [INAUDIBLE] PRESENTATION, THE CITY CREATED TIFF DISTRICT NUMBER THREE.

AND THEN WE HAD SOME ACTIVITY WITH THE COX MOBILITY 2040 LINE WHERE THEY REMOVED THE W4 LINE AND THEN RE-INCLUDED IT A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER.

NOW, DURING THE COURSE OF THOSE TWO YEARS BETWEEN 2016 AND 2018, THERE WAS SOME ACTIVITY THAT OCCURRED WITH SOME OF THE PROPERTIES WITHIN THE TOD AND THAT THEY CAME TO COUNCIL WITH INDIVIDUALIZED ZONING AND ESSENTIALLY ZONED THEMSELVES OUT OF THE THE LARGER PLANT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

SO THAT WOULD BE SHANNON CREEK AND [INAUDIBLE].

SO WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT WE THINK ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE W4 LINE? WELL, WE KNOW THAT IT REQUIRES AN ADDITIONAL RAIL TO SUPPORT THE COMMUTER SYSTEM.

WE KNOW THAT THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS WE'RE ESTIMATING TO BE IN EXCESS OF $1.7 BILLION.

THERE'S NO REGIONAL FUNDING IDENTIFIED NOR ANY FORESEEABLE FUNDING IN THE FUTURE FOR THIS PROJECT.

ESTIMATED RIDERSHIP IS LESS THAN 1,000 INDIVIDUALS PER DAY, AND THAT'S LOW.

THAT LEADS TO ESSENTIALLY LOW REGIONAL PRIORITIZATION.

ONE OF THE INTERESTING THINGS IS THAT BNSF WOULD REQUIRE SOME DEGREE OF LIABILITY PROTECTION AGAINST ANY RAIL OPERATOR.

SO WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT IS SOME DEGREE OF INDEMNIFICATION.

THERE'S NO LEGISLATION THAT WE'RE AWARE OF THAT WOULD INDEMNIFY BNSF FOR THE USE OF THEIR RAIL LINE. SO THAT'S A BIG ISSUE FOR THEM.

THEY DON'T WANT TO BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY ACTIVITY THAT WILL OCCUR ON THEIR LINE.

MOVING ON IN THE PRESENTATION, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TAKE NOTE OF WITH THE CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH THE W4 RAIL LINE IS THAT IF THERE IS NO RAIL, DO WE REALLY HAVE THE NEED FOR THE DENSITIES THAT ARE CURRENTLY ALLOWED WITHIN THE TOD.

WITH THE DOWN ZONING OF 141 ACRES, THAT DID MITIGATE SOME OF THE DENSITIES AND THAT IT DECREASED THEM WITH SOME OF THESE SUBSEQUENT ZONING ACTIVITY THAT THE COUNCIL APPROVED.

WHAT WE HAVE LEFT IS A MINIMUM OF UP TO A MINIMUM EXCUSE ME, OF 4,052 RESIDENTIAL UNITS AND THEN IN EXCESS OF 5,712 IF YOU BUILT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXISTING PLANT DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. SO THAT'S A VERY DENSE PROJECT WHEN YOU CONSIDER WHAT IS STILL ALLOWED, EVEN WITH THE DOWN ZONING OF 141 ACRES.

[01:15:03]

BUT IN YELLOW IS THE TOD DISTRICT AS IT WAS CONSTITUTED AND IN GREEN IS WHAT REMAINS FROM THE ORIGINAL PLANT DEVELOPMENT ZONING.

SO EVERYTHING THAT YOU DON'T SEE, EVERY PLACE THAT IS NO LONGER SHROUDED IN GREEN IS SOMETHING A PROPERTY, RATHER, THAT HAS BEEN DOWN ZONED OR ZONED OUT OF THE EXISTING PLANT DEVELOPMENT. SO JUST SAY THIS AGAIN WHERE IT MAKES A LITTLE BIT MORE SENSE.

EVERYTHING IN GREEN IS STILL ALLOWED UNDER THE CURRENT PLANT DEVELOPMENT ZONING REGULATIONS OF THE EXISTING TOD.

WE'VE IDENTIFIED SOME OF THE PROPERTIES THAT HAVE DOWN ZONED OUT OF THE TOD.

THAT WOULD BE THE VILLAGES OF WAKEFIELD, SHANNON CREEK [INAUDIBLE], BUT STILL A VAST AMOUNT OF AREA THAT IS STILL CONTAINED WITHIN THE TRANSIT ORIENTED DISTRICT.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STAFF CHALLENGED ITSELF WITH DOING WAS LOOKING AT OPTIONS THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED IF THE COUNCIL WERE TO ENTERTAIN MITIGATING SOME OF THE DENSITY IN THE TOD. TWO OF THOSE OPTIONS ARE A MODIFICATION OF THE EXISTING PLANT DEVELOPMENT, ZONING REGULATIONS OR IMPLEMENTATION OF A ZONING OVERLAY.

THAT IS, YOU ESSENTIALLY TAKE A DIFFERENT SET OF STANDARDS AND LAY THEM OVER, ESSENTIALLY OVERLAY OVER THE EXISTING STANDARDS.

SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THAT THESE ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE OPTIONS, MEANING THAT IF THE COUNCIL WAS SO INCLINED, YOU COULD DO SOME COMBINATION OF BOTH OF THESE AS A WAY TO GET AT A LESS DENSE PROJECT IN THIS AREA.

WITH REGARD TO THE ZONING MODIFICATION OPTION.

THIS WOULD BE CITY INITIATED EXCUSE ME, CITY INITIATED.

WITH REGARD TO OUR OUTREACH TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS.

IT WOULD BE A PARCEL BY PARCEL APPROACH.

SO INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE THEIR OWN OPINIONS AS FAR AS WHAT THEY THINK IS HIGHEST AND BEST USE FOR THEIR PROPERTY.

WE WOULD ENGAGE WITH ALL OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS AND SEE IF WE COULD FIND SOME UNIFYING VISION THAT WOULD ALLOW SOME FLEXIBILITY IN TERMS OF HOW TO USE THE PROPERTY.

THIS IS VOLUNTARY.

SO IF WE WERE TO MAKE AN APPEAL TO A PROPERTY OWNER TO CHANGE THEIR ZONING, IF THERE WAS NO INTEREST, WE WOULDN'T CHANGE IT.

IT WOULD JUST BE A VOLUNTARY PROCESS.

THESE OWNERS ARE ALREADY ENTITLED TO THE DENSITIES WITHIN THE TOD, SO THERE'S NOT A MECHANISM THERE WHERE WE COULD GET AROUND THAT IS VESTING AS FAR AS THE DENSITY FOR THESE PROPERTY OWNERS. AND WE WOULD HAVE TO BE FLEXIBLE BECAUSE AS WE APPROACH INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE, THEY MIGHT HAVE VERY DISPARATE AND WIDE RANGING OPINIONS AS TO WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEIR PROPERTY USE FOR.

CONTINUING ON A NEGOTIATED GIVE AND TAKE PROCESS.

AND WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS IN LINE WITH THAT FLEXIBILITY, THERE MAY BE SOME LAND USES THAT THEY MIGHT WANT TO SEE INCLUDED THAT WE HADN'T THOUGHT OF.

AND WHAT WE'D HAVE TO DO IS LOOK TO SEE IF WE CAN REACH SOME COMMON GROUND WITH REGARD TO GETTING TO YES IN THOSE SITUATIONS.

SO WHAT WOULD A PROPERTY WANT IN EXCHANGE FOR A VOLUNTARY CHANGE IN ZONING? SO SOME OF THE OPTIONS AND SOME OF THE EXAMPLES THAT WE'VE LISTED THERE ARE INCREASED FLEXIBILITY FOR HOME BASED BUSINESSES WITH COVID A NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NOW WORKING ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY OUT OF THE HOME PLACE.

AND OUR CODE COULD BE UPDATED TO ALLOW A MORE FLEXIBLE APPROACH TO THIS TYPE OF WORK ENVIRONMENT. INCORPORATION OF ADDITIONAL LAND USES.

OUR REDUCTION IN CERTAIN STANDARDS.

FOR INSTANCE, A REDUCTION IN MAXIMUM LOCK COVERAGE FOR ANY NON SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY, INCLUDING LANGUAGE THAT ONLY ALLOWS OWNER OCCUPIED TOWNHOMES AND CONDOS AS OPPOSED TO TRADITIONAL MULTIFAMILY RENTAL UNITS.

SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF FLEXIBILITY WHEN WE IF WE ENGAGED INDIVIDUALS HERE WITH THE ZONING MODIFICATION OPTION.

THE SECOND OPTION I WANT TO PRESENT TO YOU IS THE ZONING OVERLAY OPTION.

SO THIS IS A TOOL THAT ALLOWS FOR AN ADDITIONAL LAYER OF LAND USES AND STANDARDS IN PLACE OF THE BASELINE PLANT DEVELOPMENT ZONING.

SO WHAT WE TRY TO DO WITH A ZONING OVERLAY IS PROMOTE DESIRED LAND USES THAT FURTHER THE VISION OF THE AREA.

WHILE THIS IS THE TOD AND WE'RE LOOKING AT POSSIBLY REDUCING DENSITY, WE ALSO WANT TO CAPTURE THE GOOD PORTIONS OF THE TOD, WHICH IS MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT AND HIGH DEGREE OF DIVERSIFIED RETAIL USES.

WE MAY HAVE TO INCENTIVIZE THIS OPTION.

WE MAY HAVE TO DO THAT THROUGH INCREASED FLEXIBILITY AND LESS STRINGENT REGULATIONS, FOR INSTANCE, COMMERCIAL PARKING STANDARDS.

IT MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN REDUCING THE RESIDENTIAL DENSITY IF IT'S NOT ALLOWED.

REMEMBER, ALL OF THIS IS VOLUNTARY, SO WE COULDN'T ESSENTIALLY REQUIRE SOMEBODY TO USE A

[01:20:03]

SO IN OUR REVIEW OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE SEEN OTHER CITIES DO, WE LOOKED AT POSSIBLY ESTABLISHING MINIMUM THRESHOLDS.

ESSENTIALLY, IF YOU REDUCE DENSITY BY X PERCENT, THE CITY WOULD IN TURN CONSIDER DOING OTHER THINGS TO GET THIS TO BE A MORE PALATABLE PURSUIT FOR YOU.

SO IF WE WERE, FOR INSTANCE, ENGAGED WITH A DEVELOPER AND WE'RE LOOKING AT SEEING IF THERE WOULD BE SOME INTEREST IN REDUCING THEIR DENSITY BY 40% AND RESIDENTIAL DENSITY, THE CITY WOULD LOOK AT EMPLOYING A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO US WITH REGARD TO PARTICIPATION IN INFRASTRUCTURE.

AGAIN, INCREASED ZONING FLEXIBILITY, WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT PERMITS A REFUND OF IMPACT FEES, THINGS OF THAT NATURE, AND IT WOULD BE ON A THRESHOLD.

SO THE MORE DENSITY THAT YOU WOULD LOOK AT REDUCING THE CITY WOULD COME WITH A MENU OPTION ESSENTIALLY OF THINGS THAT WE COULD DO TO MAKE IT MORE OF AN INCENTIVE BASED APPROACH IF YOU WERE TO DO THIS OPTION.

SO THIS TABLE IS A PRETTY BASIC TABLE THAT WE PUT TOGETHER WHERE WE HAVE ON THE LEFT OF THE SCREEN THE PERCENTAGE REDUCTION IN CERTAIN TYPES OF LAND USES.

IN THIS CASE, YOUR ALLOWABLE END CAP APARTMENTS TO LIVE, WORK, URBAN UNITS AND THEN TO THE RIGHT, WHAT WOULD BE SOME OF THE REDUCTION INCENTIVES? SO THE CORRELATION IS BETWEEN THE PERCENTAGE INCREASE AND THEN THE RAMPING UP OF THE INCENTIVE. SO YOU GO FROM YOUR BASELINE INCENTIVES, WHICH WOULD BE THE WAIVER OF PERMITTING AND INSPECTION FEES AS YOU GO INTO 40% REDUCTION.

YOU INCLUDE ALL OF THOSE ABOVE MENTIONED REFERENCE INCENTIVES AND THEN INCLUDE ALSO REFUND OF IMPACT FEES. AND THESE ARE JUST EXAMPLES THAT WE PUT TOGETHER FOR YOU TO CONSIDER.

AND YOU CAN SEE HOW WE ESSENTIALLY WENT THROUGH THIS AND PUT IN EVEN A MINIMUM ACREAGE THRESHOLD. THE POINT BEING IS YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET A GREAT DEAL OF REDUCTION IF IT'S A SMALL BUILDING SITE.

SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS IF YOU GET A MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPER AND A OBTAIN A 10, 20 ACRES, WE'RE LOOKING AT GETTING THE REDUCTION BASED ON THE ACREAGE AS A ESSENTIALLY A THRESHOLD AND THEN THE PERCENTAGE REDUCTION IN UNITS AS A THRESHOLD.

SO WITH REGARD TO NEXT STEPS, IF WE WERE TO PURSUE THE ZONING MODIFICATION OVERLAY.

WE WILL CONDUCT OUTREACH EFFORTS.

INDIVIDUAL REZONING CONSIDERATIONS WILL BE TAKEN TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND THEN ON TO YOU CITY COUNCIL FOR YOUR CONSIDERATIONS.

AGAIN, THIS IS IF WE'RE SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING PROPERTY OWNERS TO ESSENTIALLY SHOW ANY INTEREST IN HAVING THE ZONING MODIFIED FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE PROPERTY.

FOR THE OVERLAY OPTION.

MUCH OF THE SAME PROCESS.

A LOT OF OUTREACH EFFORTS DISCUSS OVERLAY CRITERIA AND HAVE THIS DISCUSSION WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND YOU THE COUNCIL.

THIS IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT IN THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE STANDARDS IN PLACE BEFORE WE BEGAN THE OUTREACH.

SO WE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COUNCIL IS COMFORTABLE WITH ANY OVERLAY STANDARDS THAT WOULD BE PUT INTO OUR CODE.

AND THEN MUCH LIKE THE REST OF THE PROCESS, THAT WOULD FOLLOW, JUST LIKE ANY OF THE ZONING PROCESS WHERE WE HAVE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HEARINGS AND THEN ON TO YOU FOR YOUR ADOPTION AS PART OF AN ORDINANCE.

SO WHAT ARE YOUR OPTIONS TONIGHT? YOU CAN GIVE THE STAFF DIRECTION WITH REGARD TO MODIFYING THE EXISTING TOD DISTRICT.

AS FAR AS THE BASELINE PLAN DEVELOPMENT ZONING STANDARDS, YOU CAN GIVE US DIRECTION TO CREATE. I'LL START WORKING TOWARD AN OVERLAY FOR THE TOD.

YOU CAN DO SOME COMBINATION THEREOF WHICH IS NOT LISTED AND YOU COULD SIMPLY DO NOTHING AT THIS TIME AND TAKE SOME TIME TO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK THE NEXT STEPS WOULD BE.

STAFF IS PREPARED TO MOVE OUT WITH ANY DIRECTION THAT YOU GIVE AND WORK THAT EFFORT THROUGH THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE.

AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT THE PRESENTATION.

WE HAVE A YES, SIR. WE ARE FLEXIBLE WITH EITHER APPROACH, MR. MAYOR. I THINK THAT WHETHER IT'S THE ZONING MODIFICATION OR THE OVERLAY, I THINK A TWO

[01:25:02]

BETTER. OKAY.

SO THE INCENTIVE IS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE UP THE FARM ON SOME OF THIS STUFF TO GET IT DONE. IS THAT CORRECT? IT IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED FOR SURE IN ANY LARGE PROJECT IN HERE.

OKAY. I GUESS THAT'S BECAUSE I HIT IT, SORRY.

MR. MAYOR, WITH REGARD TO SOME OF THE INCENTIVES THAT WE HAD TO BE A REALLY CAREFULLY THOUGHT OUT PROCESS, BECAUSE THE KEY ELEMENT IS THAT IF THERE IS A TRUE INTEREST IN THE REDUCTION OF DENSITY, WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE THE KEY ELEMENTS OF THE TOD, WHICH IS THE MIXED USE PORTION OF IT AND SOME OF THE THE ALLOWANCES THERE AS FAR AS SOME OF THE COMMERCIAL USES.

SO IT'S TOUGH TO SAY RIGHT NOW.

I THINK THAT IF I'M A DEVELOPER, SOME OF THE MORE COSTLY ASPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE ME RUNNING INFRASTRUCTURE TO MY PROJECT, AND I WOULD PROBABLY BE INCLINED TO SEE IF THE CITY WOULD HELP IN SOME CAPACITY, WHETHER IT'S THE EXTENSION OF SEWER LINES OR WATER LINES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

COULD YOU PUT THE OPTIONS BACK UP THERE, PLEASE? DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD TO THIS? I PERSONALLY DON'T WANT TO JUMP INTO THIS.

THERE MIGHT BE MORE THAN THE TWO OPTIONS PRESENTED.

I DON'T LIKE OVERLAY OPTIONS PERIOD.

THAT'S JUST ME. BUT I THINK WE COULD LOOK AT THIS AND TALK ABOUT THIS A LITTLE MORE BEFORE WE MADE ANY KIND OF DECISION OR GIVE ANY KIND OF DIRECTION.

THIS IS IMPORTANT, AND I PERSONALLY WOULD NOT BE FOR JUST OKAY, LET'S CHOOSE ONE TONIGHT.

WHY? IT'S NOT NECESSARY.

HEY RONNIE, WHY DO YOU NOT LIKE THE OVERLAY? JUST TO EDUCATE ME.

GOING TO GET INTO THAT WITH YOU.

I SIT DOWN THERE AT MY STORE.

NO, I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO IT.

THAT'S FINE. THAT'S FINE.

WE GOT SOME NEW PEOPLE ON THE BOARD ON THE COUNCIL HERE.

WE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE DOWNSIDE OF AN OVERLAY.

I CAN APPRECIATE WHAT COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON IS SAYING, AND I KIND OF AGREE THAT I WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION, HAVING NOT EVER DEALT WITH AN OVERLAY DISTRICT.

AND BECAUSE I KNOW WE'VE BEEN WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT WE HAVEN'T REALLY HAD HATE, I KNOW YOU GUYS LOVE OUR WORK SESSION REQUESTS, BUT TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEGATIVES AND POSITIVES OF MAKING THIS DECISION.

I DON'T WANT TO MAKE A DECISION YET AND GIVE DIRECTION UNTIL I REALLY, TRULY UNDERSTAND THIS ON A DEEPER LEVEL.

SURE. AND NOW IF SOMEONE ELSE CAN UP HERE CAN EXPLAIN WHY THEY LEAN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, AND THAT MIGHT HELP BUT.

I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'VE EXPLORED ALL POSSIBILITIES EITHER.

BUT I'LL GIVE STAFF CREDIT FOR THINKING WE PROBABLY HIT THE TWO OBVIOUS ONES.

IT SEEMS TO ME THAT A FAIR NUMBER OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE PROBABLY OWNER OCCUPIED LARGE LOT PROPERTIES THAT PROBABLY AREN'T ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THE KIND OF GROWTH THAT THE TOD PD ZONING WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYHOW.

SO I THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE A FAIR NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST WILLING TO SEE THE WHOLE THING GO AWAY.

BUT UNTIL WE KNOW THAT, WE'LL HAVE TO GO OUT AND JUST CONTACT THE INDIVIDUAL OWNERS AND GET A READ ON THEIR STANCE.

AND I THINK NO MATTER WHAT METHOD WE CHOOSE TO GO TO, TO GET THIS UNDER CONTROL OR TO NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AT ALL, THE BEST PIECE OF INFORMATION WE HAVE RIGHT NOW IS JUST WHO'S GOING TO BE AFFECTED AND WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT? IF WE GET IT DOWN TO WHERE THE LARGER TRACKS, THERE SEEMS TO BE JUST A HANDFUL OF LARGER TRACKS LEFT. I KNOW WE OWN SOME PROPERTY OUT IN THERE OURSELVES, SO WE MIGHT HAVE IT DOWN TO WHERE WE HAVE A HANDFUL OF DEVELOPERS TO HAVE TO CONTEND WITH AND THE REST OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT DON'T WANT THE DEVELOPMENT IN THEIR AREA ANYWAY AND WOULD PROBABLY RATHER GO BACK TO SINGLE FAMILY ESTATE OR ALL THE WAY BACK TO AGRICULTURE OR WHATEVER TO START OVER. AND THEN LET'S DEVELOP THROUGH NORMAL MEANS AND CONSIDERATIONS TO GET FROM WHERE WE ARE TODAY TO WHERE WE WILL EVENTUALLY BE.

I'VE HAD SOME EXPERIENCE WITH OVERLAYS ON A COUPLE OF PIECE OF PROPERTY, A COUPLE OF

[01:30:04]

THE CIRCUMSTANCES WEREN'T THE SAME, BUT SIMILAR IN THAT THE BASE ZONING ON MY PROPERTY PERMITTED CERTAIN ACTIVITIES, IN MY CASE INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES.

BUT THE OVERLAY ZONING, IN WHICH CASE I'M REFERRING TO THE I-35 CORRIDOR ZONING AND ALSO THE OLDTOWN DISTRICT, BOTH OF WHICH EFFECTIVELY PREVENTED ME DOING ANYTHING AT ALL OF AN INDUSTRIAL NATURE ON MY PROPERTY.

SO I SOLD ONE PIECE OF PROPERTY AS A RESULT, AND THE OTHER I WILL SOMEDAY SELL RATHER THAN TRY TO DO ANYTHING ELSE ON IT, BECAUSE IT'S JUST NOT FEASIBLE ONCE THOSE OVERLAYS GO INTO EFFECT. SO THE OVERLAY IS A, IT'S A TOOL THAT WE COULD USE AND IT'S A TOOL THAT PROBABLY ISN'T GOING TO BE WELL RECEIVED BY THE AFFECTED PROPERTY OWNERS ANYWAY IF THEIR INTENTIONS FOR OWNING THEIR PROPERTY ARE TO DEVELOP THEM TO THE STANDARDS OF THE THE TOD PLAN DEVELOPMENT. SO ONCE AGAIN, WE REVERT BACK TO THE CONCEPT OF LET'S GO FIND OUT WHAT THE LANDSCAPE LOOKS LIKE BY TALKING TO THE PEOPLE AFFECTED AND MAKE A DECISION FROM THERE. IF WE CAN GET VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE WITH A REVERSION OF THE TOD PLAN DEVELOPMENT ZONE, WONDERFUL.

LET'S TAKE IT. SO AN OVERLAY [INAUDIBLE] TELLS THE LANDOWNER WHAT HE CAN OR CAN'T DO.

THIS WOULD BE AN OPTION THAT THEY COULD HAVE IF THEY WANTED TO REDUCE THE DENSITY, AT LEAST THE IDEA. AND AGAIN, THIS IS A CONCEPTUAL IDEA THAT WE'RE BRINGING TO YOU FOR DISCUSSION. THIS WOULD BE AN OPTION FOR THOSE LANDOWNERS, NOT A REQUIREMENT.

SO THEY COULD GO WITH A TRADITIONAL UNDERLYING ZONING, THE PD THAT'S ALREADY THERE OR PURSUE ONE OF THESE AS AN OPTION IF THEY WANTED TO.

SO IT WOULD BE THEIR CHOICE THAT ENTITLEMENT FOR THE PROPERTY WOULD STILL STAND WITH THE ZONING UNDERLINING ZONING, BUT CERTAINLY WE CAN GO BACK AND HAVE SOME MORE DISCUSSIONS WITH PROPERTY OWNERS, BRING SOME INFORMATION BACK TO YOU IF THERE'S OTHER INFORMATION OR DATA THAT YOU'D LIKE TO SEE, IF YOU COULD LET US KNOW WHAT THAT IS, THEN WE CAN BRING THAT BACK TO YOU AS WELL AND HAVE AS MANY CONVERSATIONS ON THIS AS YOU LIKE.

WE REALLY JUST WANTED TO HAVE THIS AS AN INTRODUCTORY CONVERSATION ABOUT OPTIONS TO PURSUE. HOW DID YOU WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, IF AT ALL? AND THAT COULD BE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU CHOOSE NOT TO DO IS TO DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT WITH IT. BUT THAT'S WHAT WE WANTED TO BRING TO YOU TODAY.

MAYOR, I WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

IT'S A FAIR QUESTION AND I'LL GIVE MY ANSWER.

I WASN'T TRYING TO SET YOU UP OR ANYTHING I PROMISE.

NO, IT'S OKAY JUST [INAUDIBLE] ANYWAY, THAT SAID, I GAVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.

OUT AT HIDDEN CREEK GOLF COURSE, IF YOU GO RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET OVER THERE AND GO DOWN THE SIDE STREET OF 35 OKAY, THERE'S AN AREA DOWN THERE THAT HAS A DOUBLE OVERLAY ON IT.

AND LIKE DAN SAID, IT'S DARN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE.

YOU CAN'T BUILD ANYTHING THERE WELL YOU CAN, BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO BUILD WHAT THEY HAVE SET UP FOR IT. IT'S I BELIEVE THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH ENTERTAINMENT, OKAY.

THAT'S THE KIND OF THING I LIKE TO STAY AWAY FROM.

WHEN YOU GET IN A SITUATION WHERE IT'S DARN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO DO ANYTHING WITH AND WE'VE GONE OVER BOUNDS, JUST MY OPINION.

AND THAT'S WHAT I GET SORE ABOUT.

MAYOR I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE COUNCIL NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE PLANNING PROCESS AND TONY, DOES THE DETAIL WORK ON THE CONCEPT OVERLAY ZONES CAN BE DRAFTED IN COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FORMS AND STRUCTURES.

SOME OVERLAY ZONES ARE EXACTLY LIKE COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON REFERRING TO.

THEY PROVIDE A SET OF NEW PERFORMANCE OR USE ACTIVITIES AND THEY CONSTRAIN OR LIMIT WHAT PROPERTY OWNERS CAN DO.

BUT THERE ARE ALSO OVERLAY ZONES AND WE USE THE SAME GENERAL TERM FOR THEM THAT DO NOT CONTAIN ANY SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS.

WHAT THEY PROVIDE IS A WE'VE IDENTIFIED AREAS IN WHICH YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO REQUEST INCENTIVES OR VARIATIONS THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE ELSE PER SAY, C3 ZONE PROPERTY.

IF YOU LIE IN THE OVERLAY ZONE AND IT'S ZONE C3, YOU CAN GET OPTIONS AND INCENTIVES OTHER PEOPLE CAN'T BECAUSE WE'RE INCENTIVIZING THAT DISTRICT.

THAT'S ANOTHER FORM OF AN OVERLAY ZONE, WHICH IS WHAT I THINK OUR DIRECTOR IS TALKING ABOUT HERE. AND SO THERE MAY BE AN OPTION YOU WANT TO CONSIDER.

THAT'S ONE OF THE STAFF IS TALKING ABOUT BOTH OPTIONS, MODIFYING PORTIONS OF THE ORIGINAL ORDINANCE AND LOOKING AT AN OVERLAY ZONE AS AN INCENTIVE TOOL, NOT A REGULATORY TOOL.

TONY, I HOPE I'M NOT MISSTATING THAT.

NO, YOU'RE AS USUAL RIGHT ON POINT.

[01:35:02]

I MEAN, ORIGINALLY THE CONCEPT WAS A RAIL SERVICE WOULD BE BRINGING PEOPLE IN THAT WOULD BE OFF THE ROADS, THEY'D BE TRAVELING IN AND OUT BY RAIL.

AND THAT WAS, I GUESS, WHAT THE THINKING WAS OF ALLOWING THIS WAY BACK WHEN.

WITHOUT THAT RAIL, I MEAN, WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS KIND OF DENSITY ON TWO LANE HULEN OR WHATEVER, IT'S GOING TO COST US A FORTUNE.

WE TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE COST.

IT'S IF THEY'RE ALLOWED TO BUILD LIKE THIS, THEN WE HAVE TO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO IMPROVE THESE ROADS. I MEAN, THERE'S JUST NO WAY AROUND IT AND THAT'S GOING TO BE VERY EXPENSIVE. SO, YOU KNOW, FOR ME, I WOULD I WANT MORE INFORMATION LIKE SOME OF THE OTHERS ON HERE. I'D LIKE TO ACTUALLY SIT DOWN AND GO THROUGH SOME STUFF.

YOU KNOW, I'D LOVE TO SEE ALL THIS ZONE DOWN IF I HAD MY WAY BE ALL THE WAY BACK TO AGRICULTURAL LIKE LIKE DAN SAID.

BUT, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY AT LEAST BACK TO MAYBE SINGLE FAMILY OR SOMETHING THAT WOULD FIT THE AREA BECAUSE IT DOESN'T FIT NOW.

SO TRYING TO GIVE TONY A DIRECTION HERE.

ARE WE WANT HIM TO GO VISIT WITH THE LANDOWNERS OR GET BACK WE WANT HIM TO GET BACK TO US, BUT WITH WHAT? WHAT ARE WE ASKING FOR OTHER OPTIONS OR WE'RE KIND OF LEAVING HIM HANGING HERE? WE NEED TO TELL HIM WHAT TO DO.

I THINK. LET ME TAKE A SHOT AT THIS, IF I CAN, SO WE CAN LOOK AT THE OVERLAY DISTRICTS THAT COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON MENTIONED AND TRY TO LOOK AT WHAT THAT SITUATION IS AND MAYBE COMPARE AND CONTRAST THAT WITH AN OVERLAY OPTION, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR INCENTIVES. WE CAN DO THAT.

WE CAN ALSO VISIT WITH SOME OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS OUT THERE AND SEE IF THERE'S SOME INFORMATION WE CAN BRING BACK TO YOU AND MAYBE COME BACK WITH ANOTHER WORK SESSION AND MAYBE PROVIDE SOME MORE PRACTICAL EXAMPLES OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, PERHAPS INDIVIDUAL PARCELS.

WE'D BE HAPPY TO DO THAT.

AND IF THERE'S ANY OTHER INFORMATION REQUESTS THAT YOU HAVE, WE'LL BE HAPPY TO BRING THOSE BACK TO YOU. BUT AGAIN, IT'S INTRODUCTORY CONVERSATION AND I KNOW THIS IS A COMPLEX SUBJECT, BUT IF THERE'S SOMETHING I MISSED, LET US KNOW.

WE'D BE HAPPY TO LOOK AT IT.

SO YOUR SUGGESTION, WE KIND OF DO A HYBRID OF BOTH.

GO VISIT WITH THE LANDOWNERS [INAUDIBLE].

SO I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT STEP, BUT MAYBE HAVE US AT LEAST SOME INTRODUCTORY CONVERSATIONS AND SEE WHAT THE PLANNED USE IS WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS AND IF THEY'D BE AMENABLE TO ANY KIND OF CHANGES.

WE CAN CERTAINLY HAVE THAT CONVERSATION AND THEN COME BACK TO YOU AND SEE WHERE WE ARE.

YOU GOOD WITH THAT TAMARA? YEAH, HOW ABOUT Y'ALL? YOU GOT IT, TONY.

I DO. THANK YOU.

YES, SIR. THAT BRINGS US TO ITEM 7D RECEIVE A REPORT, HOLD A DISCUSSION AND PROVIDE STAFF DIRECTION REGARDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

[D. Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff direction regarding the Comprehensive Plan and Midpoint 2020 update. (Staff Presenter: Tony McIlwain, Director of Development Services)]

STAFF PRESENTER AS TONY [INAUDIBLE], DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, APPARENTLY JUST DOESN'T WANT TO SIT DOWN, JUST WANTS TO END THE SHOW.

OKAY, THIS IS THE LAST REGULAR AGENDA ITEM FOR Y'ALL TONIGHT.

SO THIS ITEM IS IN RESPONSE TO COUNCIL WOMEN'S PAYNE'S REQUEST FOR INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO WHAT WE'VE PUT TOGETHER IS A DUAL PRESENTATION WHERE WE GIVE YOU SOME BACKGROUND REGARDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS WELL AS THE CITY'S MID-POINT UPDATE TO THAT PLAN.

SO WE'VE BROKEN THE PRESENTATION INTO THE FOLLOWING TOPICS JUST WHAT IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? ITS RELEVANCE TO STATE LAW? HOW IS THE PLAN USED AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE 2020 MIDPOINT UPDATE? SO OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS THE COMMUNITY'S SHARED VISION OF WHAT IT WANTS TO BE IN THE FUTURE AS A ROADMAP ESSENTIALLY OF HOW THE CITY WILL DEVELOP OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS.

AND IT FORMS THE BASIS OF POLICY DECISIONS AND OFTENTIMES HAS A DIRECT IMPACT ON THE CITY'S BUDGET. SO OUR PLAN CONTAINS THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, WHICH IS ONE OF THE CHIEF EXHIBITS OF THE PLAN, AND IT FRAMES SOME OF THE DECISION MAKING THAT YOU ALL AS COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE WITH ZONING ACTIVITY HERE IN THE CITY.

OUR PLAN, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WAS ADOPTED ON APRIL 19TH OF 2010, AND AT THAT TIME IT WAS IMAGINED BURLESON 2030.

AND THEN SUBSEQUENT TO THAT, BACK IN DECEMBER 14TH OF 2020, YOU ALL ADOPTED THE IMAGINE BURLESON 2020 MIDPOINT.

SO ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THE MID-POINT IS THAT THESE PERIODIC UPDATES SUCH AS A MIDPOINT, ARE NEEDED TO GIVE YOU A SNAPSHOT OF HOW WE'VE PROGRESSED SINCE THE PLAN'S INCEPTION. SO CHAPTER 213 OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE ESSENTIALLY ESTABLISHES THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ALL COMPREHENSIVE PLANS HERE IN TEXAS.

THE PURPOSE OF COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING IS TO PROMOTE SOUND DEVELOPMENT, PROMOTE PUBLIC

[01:40:05]

THESE PLANS ARE ADOPTED BY ORDINANCE THEY'VE REVIEWED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND AT THE PUBLIC HEARINGS.

THEY'RE ULTIMATELY BROUGHT FORWARD TO YOU ALL AS THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH TO APPROVE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO WITH REGARD TO CONFORMITY REQUIREMENTS, WHEN WE RECEIVE A ZONING APPLICATION, WE TAKE THESE APPLICATIONS TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND TO CITY COUNCIL.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE ALWAYS INFORM YOU OF IN OUR PRESENTATION IS WHETHER OR NOT THE ZONING IS ESSENTIALLY CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

WHEN WE HAVE EVIDENCE OR INSTANCES WHERE THERE ARE SEVERAL DEVELOPMENTS THAT DEVIATE FROM THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THAT'S AN INDICATOR THAT MAYBE WE NEED TO LOOK AND SEE IF WE'RE STILL CONSISTENT WITH THE MARKET AND WHETHER OR NOT OUR PLAN IS KEEPING PACE WITH SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT DEVELOP.

THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY IS TRYING TO PUT HERE IN THE CITY.

SO JUST A DISCLAIMER.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS NOT ZONING.

IT'S ESSENTIALLY THE COOKBOOK THAT WE USE.

AND ZONING IS A SUBSET OF THAT.

SO HOW DO WE USE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? SO IT'S A DUALITY HERE WITH OUR USED TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

PART OF IT IS PUBLIC POLICY BASED, AND PART OF IT IS A GUIDE FOR REGULAR, EVERYDAY CITIZENS. SO WE'VE PUT SOME OF THE HIGH POINTS ON THIS SLIDE.

YOU AS COUNCIL MEMBERS WOULD BE MORE INTERESTED IN WHAT'S ON THE LEFT OF THE SCREEN AND YOU AS PRIVATE CITIZENS, WHEN YOU'RE NOT ON THE DIETS OR ARE INTERESTED WHAT'S ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN AND HOW IT IMPACTS YOU AS A EVERYDAY CITIZEN HERE AT THE CITY. TRANSITIONING TO OUR 2020 MIDPOINT.

THAT EFFORT CONTAINED SEVERAL CORE VALUES THAT WE'VE HIGHLIGHTED THERE WITH THE BULLETS LIST. THEY REGARD THEIR INVOLVING MOBILITY NEIGHBORHOODS, PARKS, PLACEMAKING, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND RESILIENCY WITH REGARD TO THE CITY.

AND RESILIENCY IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THAT TOUCHES ON ANY NUMBER OF THINGS, WHETHER IT BE ECONOMIC RESILIENCY, ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABLE AND OFTENTIMES CONSTRUCTION RESILIENCY IN OUR STANDARDS. THE NEXT SERIES OF SLIDES ESSENTIALLY LIST SOME OF THE GOALS IN EACH OF THESE CORE VALUES.

I WON'T GO THROUGH THEM INDIVIDUALLY, BUT I WANT TO PAUSE ON THE SCREEN SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THE MIDPOINT PLAN DEFINES SOME OF THESE GOALS.

AND THE PURPOSE OF THESE GOALS IS TO GIVE MARCHING ORDERS TO THE CITY, TO GO OUT AND MOVE TOWARD IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE GOALS ON BEHALF OF THE CITIZENS.

SO THIS FIRST ONE IS MOBILITY AS FAR AS FOUR GOALS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED.

THE SECOND CORE VALUE NEIGHBORHOODS.

WE'RE LOOKING AT THINGS IN THE AREAS OF NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGN THAT WOULD BE MOSTLY MOSTLY INFLUENCED THROUGH SOME OF SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS, MAINTENANCE AND ENHANCEMENT OF OUR EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS, OFTENTIMES THROUGH CODE COMPLIANCE AND THEN FOSTER SOCIAL CONNECTIVITY WITHIN NEIGHBORHOODS.

THAT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE ESOTERIC.

BUT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS TRYING TO GET INTO INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES WHERE THERE'S A SENSE OF CONNECTEDNESS THERE.

PARKS.

PRETTY SIMPLE.

WE WANT TO IMPLEMENT A PARKS, TRAILS, AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN AND PRESERVATION AND INCREASED ACCESS TO NATURAL AREAS AND OPEN SPACES HERE FOR OUR CITIZENS.

SO PLACEMAKING PLACES.

HOW DO WE VALUE GREAT PLACES TO GATHER THROUGHOUT THE CITY? A LOT OF THAT IS INFLUENCED BY SOME OF THE DECISIONS YOU MAKE AS IT RELATES TO SOME OF THE DOWNTOWN EVENTS THAT WE HAVE.

COUNCILMAN MCCLENDON, MAYOR PRO TEM MCCLENDON MENTIONED HOW SUCCESSFUL THE FARMER'S MARKET WAS. THAT'S ESSENTIALLY PLACEMAKING, BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER IN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE TOWN. SO WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO REFINE THESE PLANNING AREAS, DEVELOP OUR CULTURAL AND ARTISTIC PROGRAMS TO ENHANCE OUR COMMUNITY CHARACTER.

AND OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN NEEDS TO SPEAK TOWARD THAT AND ALSO PURSUE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS AS WE MOVE TOWARD THAT TYPE OF PLACEMAKING ACTIVITY.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GOALS.

WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO DO THE GOOD WORK WE'RE DOING, ENHANCING OUR EFFORTS AND THEN CONTINUING TO PROMOTE DOWNTOWN AND REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES, MUCH LIKE ALEX MENTIONED TO YOU ALL WITH THE RFP THAT HE'S PURSUING.

[01:45:01]

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR STANDARDS AND OUR CODES ARE UPDATED REGULARLY.

WE WANT TO LOOK AT PROVIDING DOCUMENTATION TO YOU AND REPORTS TO YOU IN A WAY THAT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND AND YIELD BETTER DECISION MAKING ON YOUR PART.

AND OUR PART IS TO MAKE SURE WE GIVE YOU GIVE YOU CLEAR, CONCISE DATA THAT HELPS YOU MAKE DECISIONS THAT FURTHER RESILIENCY IN THE CITY.

WE'RE LOOKING AT ALSO IMPLEMENTING THESE GOALS IN SHORT, MEDIUM AND LONG TERM INTERVALS, WORKING WITH OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS IN THE AREAS OF SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCY.

SO I MENTIONED THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

OFTENTIMES, A LOT OF LOCALITIES WILL FOCUS ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THIS IS AN EXHIBIT WITHIN A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, BUT IT'S AN IMPORTANT EXHIBIT BECAUSE THOSE COLORS EACH REPRESENT A COMMUNITY CHARACTER THAT IS FURTHER DEFINED IN A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO IF YOU ARE A PROPERTY OWNER, YOU WANT TO DEVELOP YOUR PROPERTY.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE STAFF WILL DO IS SEE WHETHER OR NOT YOUR PROPOSAL IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

AND THE QUICKEST WAY TO DO THAT IS TO JUST SIMPLY LOOK AT THE MAP, THEN REFER BACK FROM THE MAP AND EXPLAIN TO THE PROPERTY OWNER, HEY, HERE'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO PROMOTE HERE WITH YOUR PROPERTY IN THIS PART OF TOWN.

SO WE'VE GOT SEVERAL COMMUNITY CHARACTER DESIGNATIONS ON THE SCREEN.

EACH OF THOSE ALLOWS A DIFFERENT AND PROMOTES A DIFFERENT TYPE OF COMMUNITY CHARACTER.

AND EVERY SINGLE ZONING CASE THAT COMES INTO THE CITY OF BURLESON IS REVIEWED AGAINST A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN'S FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

AND JUST MORE INFORMATION THERE ABOUT ITS USE AS A VISUAL REPRESENTATION.

SO IT IS POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO UPDATE AND AMEND YOUR FUTURE LAND USE MAP WITHOUT HAVING GOING HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE FULL PROCESS OF UPDATING YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO IF WE SEE THAT THERE IS A SUDDEN CHANGE OR A TREND TOWARDS SOMETHING IN A PART OF TOWN THAT WE WANT TO CAPTURE, WE CAN EVALUATE THAT, SEE IF THERE IS A BENEFIT TO UPDATING THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND THEN MAKING THE MINIMUM CHANGE NECESSARY IN A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO FURTHER PROMOTE WHAT WE'RE SEEING THE MARKET DOING.

SO HOW DOES THE PLAN WORK WITH THE ZONING ORDINANCE? AGAIN, THE PLAN IS THE ROAD MAP.

THE ZONING ORDINANCE IS THE ENFORCEMENT OF THAT ROAD MAP.

AND SO THE ZONING ORDINANCE GETS TO THOSE DISCRETE STANDARDS IN PLACE TO FACILITATE DEVELOPMENT. AND THE PLAN DOESN'T SPEAK TO THAT SPECIFICALLY.

LIKE I SAID, IT'S A COOKBOOK IS A MORE OF A BROAD BASED APPROACH TO HOW THINGS ARE DEVELOPED. AND SO OFTENTIMES WE'LL HAVE TO UPDATE THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS FURTHERING THE GOALS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO WE LISTED SOME EXAMPLES FROM RECENT CASES, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE LOOKED AT WAS STANFORD FARMS ANNEXATION CASE.

AND SO IF YOU TAKE A STEP BACK FROM THE ULTIMATE ACTION, WHICH WAS DISAPPROVAL OF THE ANNEXATION AND GO BACK TO HOW DOES THAT INFLUENCE DECISION MAKING? ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU CONSIDER NOW IS SO AN ACTION HAS TAKEN PLACE.

WHAT? COULD YOU CONSIDER HAPPENING ON THIS PROPERTY FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? IS THERE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT CHARACTER THAT YOU WANT TO SEE ON A PROPERTY SUCH AS THIS? AND THIS IS FOR ANY NEAR-TERM AREA OF THE CITY IN AND AROUND THE EXISTING CITY BOUNDARIES. OFTENTIMES WE FOCUS ON WHAT'S IN THE CITY AND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP MAYBE CROPPED RIGHT TO THE CITY LIMITS.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO DO IS LOOK AT THESE AREAS THAT ARE PROBABLY GOING TO BE COMING FORWARD FOR VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION AND MAKE SURE THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE MAP IS A COMMUNITY CHARACTER THAT YOU WANT TO CONSIDER, SO THAT WHEN THEY COME IN AND PETITION YOU FOR ANNEXATION, YOU CAN HAVE SOME ASSURANCE THAT IF I ZONED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, I CAN EXPECT THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY MIGHT WANT TO GO ALONG WITH THE DECISION, BUT IT HELPS YOU FRAME YOUR THINKING WHEN THESE TYPES OF PROPERTIES COME FORWARD.

WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THE TOD AND AS CHANGES ARE MADE, IF CHANGES ARE MADE TO THE TOD, THEY MOST LIKELY MAY HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS CONSISTENT AS WE GO FROM PLANNING TO SOME OF THE STREET STANDARDS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR ZONING DISTRICT.

SO WHAT ARE WE DOING IN HOUSE? STAFF HAS STARTED IMPLEMENTATION EFFORTS OF THE MIDPOINT UPDATES, SHORT TERM ACTION STRATEGIES. A NUMBER OF DEPARTMENTS HAVE THEIR OWN INDIVIDUALIZED GOALS AND ACTION

[01:50:01]

WHAT THE PLANNING STAFF'S JOB IS TO COUNT US, SHEPHERD THOSE EFFORTS, AND MAKE SURE THAT WE STAY ON TARGET, AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT THE PLAN.

BECAUSE OTHERWISE WE'VE GOT A PLAN THAT DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE IT'S STUCK ON A SHELF.

TWO OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON IN THE HOUSE RIGHT NOW, THE ZONING ORDINANCE UPDATE AND SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS UPDATES WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT, SEE HOW WE CAN COORDINATE OUR BUDGET WITH SOME OF THE LONGER TERM ACTION STRATEGIES IDENTIFIED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ALSO BRINGING FORTH PERIODIC REVIEWS.

WE DON'T WANT US TO WE DON'T WANT TO COME TO YOU IN A REACTIONARY MODE.

PART OF WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO IS BE PROACTIVE THAN BRING TO YOU THESE DISCUSSION POINTS ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PERIODICALLY SO THAT YOU CAN KEEP PACE WITH WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IN THE COMMUNITY. AND WHAT THE STAFF'S JOB IS TO DO IS TO BRING THAT INFORMATION FORWARD TO YOU TO HELP FRAME YOUR THINKING WHEN IT RELATES TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO THAT'S THE PRESENTATION.

I KNOW IT'S A LOT THROWN AT YOU, BUT REALLY ESSENTIALLY LONG TERM PLANNING DOCUMENT, IT'S A LIVING, BREATHING THING.

WE LIKE TO CONSIDER THAT IN A PLANNING DEPARTMENT WE ARE MOVING OUT WITH RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE ALIGNED WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WE'RE MOVING OUT WITH IMPLEMENTATION OF THOSE STRATEGIES IDENTIFIED IN THE MIDPOINT 2020 UPDATE.

SO I'LL ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL MAY HAVE.

ANYBODY? I JUST HAD ONE QUESTION.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS, TONY.

SO WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE URBAN MIXED USE AND THE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL? AND THEN I'M LOOKING ON THE MAP AT THE URBAN MIXED USE AND I THINK I KNOW WHERE IT IS.

BUT COULD YOU GIVE ME A YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.

I SHOULD LOOK IN MY BOOK.

I THINK THAT'S 731.

BUT I JUST SO.

AND THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

GO THROUGH THE FUTURE LAND USE. SO YOUR COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL BASICALLY WHAT WE LOOK AT IS WHERE IS IT LOCATED GENERALLY ALONG MAJOR STREETS, SIGNIFICANT NOTES OF TRANSPORTATION.

THOSE ARE THE HEAVILY TRAFFICKED AREAS OF THE CITY WHERE YOU COULD EXPECT TO SEE MORE OF A DENSE TRAFFIC FLOW.

WE'RE LOOKING TO HAVE LIGHT TO MEDIUM INTENSITY COMMERCIAL USES.

SO WITH YOUR COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL, WHAT'S NOT BEING CONSIDERED IS A HIGH DEGREE OF RESIDENTIAL. THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY TO DO SOME MIXED USE, BUT THE MIXED USE PORTION, MEANING THE RESIDENTIAL, WOULD BE MINIMAL COMPARED TO THE OVERALL COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY THAT IS SUPPOSED TO OCCUR ON THESE TYPES OF PROPERTIES.

YOUR NEXT THE OTHER URBAN MIXED USE.

YES. SO WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT THIS IS THAT THE PLAN SPECIFICALLY CALLS OUT CERTAIN STREETS, CALLS OUT JOHN JONES AND HULEN STREET.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO, THE VALUE CAPTURE OF THE MIXED USE, WHERE YOU CAN DO SOMETHING THAT ALLOWS FOR YOU TO HAVE CERTAIN PERCENTAGES.

SAY, FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THE BOTTOM FLOOR AS COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY, MAYBE THE BOTTOM TWO FLOORS IS COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY WITH SOME OF THE MORE MULTI-STORY BUILDINGS TO CAPTURE SOME OF THE RESIDENTIAL AT TOP.

WHEN I THINK OF MIXED USE IN THIS COMMUNITY, I DON'T THINK OF IT AS STANDALONE PAD SITES FOR COMMERCIAL WITH RESIDENTIAL BEHIND IT.

TO ME, THAT'S NOT MIXED USE.

IT MAY BE ON THE SAME PROPERTY, BUT THE PLAN IS TRYING TO PROMOTE A DESIGN ELEMENT.

WHEN WE SAY MIXED USE, WHERE YOU TRULY HAVE INTEGRATED BUILDINGS TO ALLOW THAT EXPERIENCE FROM RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL WITHIN THE BUILDING.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT VERTICAL INTEGRATION.

THAT'S WHAT I WOULD SAY WHEN WE COME AND TALK ABOUT THOSE TYPES OF COMMUNITY AREAS.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE.

DO YOU HAVE DIRECTION? I DO.

THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, TONY.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THAT BRINGS US TO SECTION EIGHT CITY COUNCIL REQUESTS FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS OR REPORTS.
