WHICH IS HOLDING A PUBLIC HEARING ON, UM, ITEM A IS CONSIDERED A ZONING CHANGE BY VAZQUEZ ENGINEERING LLC FROM AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO SINGLE FAMILY ESTATE S F E DISTRICT TO ALLOW A SINGLE FAMILY HOME.

THE LOCATION IS 64 OH, ONE LIONS ROAD. THE ACREAGE OF THE SITE IS APPROXIMATELY 0.76 ACRES, WHICH EQUATES TO A LITTLE OVER 33,000 SQUARE FEET IN SIZE. THEIR ZONING CURRENTLY IS AG DISTRICT , WHICH HAS A REQUIREMENT FOR LOTS TO BE AT LEAST TWO ACRES IN SIZE. SO IN ORDER FOR THE APPLICANT OF PROPERLY PLATT AND PERMIT THE HOME UM, IT WOULD NEED TO CONFORM TO THE ZONING. OF COURSE, IT DOESN'T QUITE HIT TWO ACRES, BUT IT DOES MEET THESE STANDARDS FOR S F E, WHICH HAS A MINIMUM OF 30,000 SQUARE FEET AND AGAIN, THE SUBJECT SIDE IS ABOUT 33,000 SQUARE FEET. HERE'S THE.

THIS IS PHASE TWO OF THE PRESERVE AT SPRING CREEK SENIOR LIVING. THE SITE IS LOCATED AT 2055 ARAPAHOE ROAD IN DISTRICT SEVEN, AND AT THE SAME TIME WE WILL BE CONSIDERING A DETAILED PLAN REQUEST. BY JERRY HANDY FOR 110 UNITS FOR SENIOR INDEPENDENT LIVING DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS PHASE TWO OF THE PRESERVE AT SPRING CREEK SENIOR LIVING. THE SITE IS LOCATED AT 2055, ARAPAHOE ROAD AND DISTRICT SEVEN. THANK YOU, MR PUTIN, AS YOU JUST STATED AS PROPOSAL FOR ADDINGTON UNITS, SENIOR INDEPENDENT LIVING IS THE USE AND IT IS PHASE TWO OF THE PRESERVED. UM, PRESERVE AT SPRING CREEK SENIOR LIVING COMPLEX LOCATION IS 2055 WRAP THE ROAD AND THE ACREAGE OF THIS PHASE TWO SITE IS 12.8 ACRES IT IS OWNED WITH NPD 21-1, WHICH INCLUDED A DETAILED PLAN FOR PHASE ONE AND JUST KIND OF IDENTIFIED FUTURE FUTURE. PHASE TWO. AND THIS IS THAT FUTURE PHASE TWO THAT IS MOVING FORWARD AT THIS TIME. HERE IS A LOCATION MAP SHOWING THE SUBJECT PROPERTY OFF ARAPAHOE ROAD. AND HERE'S A LOCATION MAP. AGAIN THIS IS JUST FOCUSING ON PHASE TWO. IT WOULD HAVE ACCESS THROUGH PHASE ONE, WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION HERE, CLOSER TO ARAPAHOE ROAD. UM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS SURROUNDED BY THERE'S AG LAND OF THE NORTH, WHICH IS CURRENTLY VACANT. THE LAND OF THE WEST AS PART OF THE SAME PD, BUT MOSTLY WILL BE OPEN SPACE AND REMAIN OPEN SPACE. BUT THE PHASE PRIMARILY THE PHASE ONE, UM, FACILITIES CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION KIND OF TO THE SOUTH SOUTHWEST THERE AND THEN TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENTS. VERTICAL MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENTS. THE COMFORTS OF PLAN IDENTIFIES THIS AREA AS COMPACT NEIGHBORHOODS. WHICH IS GENERALLY LINES WITH THE MID MID DENSITY RESIDENTIAL , UM, DEVELOPMENT STYLE BETWEEN SIX AND 12 UNITS, AS WITH THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN ALLIANCE WITH THIS DESIGNATION, AND THE PROPOSAL INCLUDES IDENTITY OF ABOUT 8.59 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE SO WELL WITHIN THAT RANGE. SO STAFF FINDS THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT COMPATIBLE WITH THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN. HERE'S SOME PHOTOS OF THE AREA, INCLUDING THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ON THE TOP LEFT THERE. AND IN SOME SURROUNDING PHOTOS THERE AT THE AREA. HERE'S AN OVERALL SITE PLAN. YOU CAN SEE. PHASE TWO KIND OF OUTLINED HERE. THIS IS THE PHASE ONE LAYOUT THAT WAS APPROVED. THE DETAILED PLAN IS APPROVED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. AND AS PART OF PHASE ONE, THERE WAS A TRAIL NETWORK, UM, SHOWN OVER HERE TO THE WEST, AS WELL AS THIS AREA KIND OF WRAPPING AROUND PHASE TWO. SO THAT'S ALL PART OF PHASE ONE AND WILL BE CONSTRUCTED ACCORDINGLY. IN THE[00:35:03]
PHASE TWO RESIDENTS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THAT TRAIL. TRAIL SYSTEM. AND THERE'S A LITTLE MORE ZOOMED IN IT IS 100. EXCUSE ME, 100 AND 10 UNITS. UM 108 OF THEM ARE DUPLEX STYLE. THE TWO KIND OF SINGLE SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED STYLE ARE LOCATED. IF YOU CAN SEE MY CURSOR ONE IS HERE AND THE OTHERS HERE, BUT OTHERWISE THEY'RE ALL KIND OF DUAL. UNITS. SEE SOME CENTRALIZED AMENITY AREAS. THERE'S AN AMENITY CENTER SWIMMING POOL. A DOG PARK OVER HERE, PICKLEBALL, UM AND, UH, ANOTHER AMENITY AREA. TO THE NORTH. AND ACCESS WOULD BE THROUGH PHASE ONE. AGAIN. THE LANDSCAPE PLAN CONFORMS WITH THE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS OF THE G. D. C. AND HERE'S A LITTLE MORE ZOOM IN AND DETAIL ON THE AMENITIES THEATER AMPHITHEATERS THAT OTHER MEN OF YET DIDN'T MENTION. AND WHILE THE COUNCIL MAY NOTICE THERE'S THE WORD, FUTURE AMPHITHEATER AND FUTURE PICKLEBALL, THE APPLICANT AT FIRST WASN'T REALLY SURE WHAT ALL WOULD BE SUPPORTED AND WELL RECEIVED IN GARLAND. HE WAS DEFINITELY TOLD PICKLEBALL AND THAT WILL BE VERY POPULAR. SO IT IS THE APPLICANTS INTENT TO PROVIDE THOSE AMENITIES WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT. SO AGAIN SWIMMING POOL CLUBHOUSE, MPA THEATER AND PICKLE BALL AS WELL AS A DOG PARK OVER HERE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE SHOWS KIND OF THE ENTRYWAY WITH SOME SEATING AND THE DOG PARK OVER HERE TO THE FAR RIGHT. AND I SHOULD MENTION THAT THAT'S VERY THOUGHTFUL DESIGN AS FAR AS KIND OF INTERNAL SIDEWALKS AND PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS THROUGH AND TO AND FROM THE AMENITY CENTERS, SO I WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS. ALL THE UNITS WILL BE ONE STORY. UM SO I'LL JUST KIND OF RUN THROUGH THESE HERE REAL QUICK. SOME DIFFERENT STYLES OF THE UNITS, BUT THERE WILL BE ONE STORY. SO FAIRLY LOW DENSITY. AND IT MEETS ALL THE BUILDING DESIGN REQUIREMENTS IN THE GDC. THEY ACTUALLY FOLLOWED THE N F ZERO DESIGN STANDARDS. IF YOU RECALL THAT AN F ZERO DISTRICT COUNCIL CREATED LAST YEAR GUARDHOUSE ELEVATIONS TO THE MAIN ENTRY INTO PHASE TWO. IN THE CLUBHOUSE ELEVATIONS AND AGAIN, IT MEANS THESE MEET ALL GDC STANDARDS. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A COUPLE OF DEVIATIONS, AND IT KIND OF RELATES TO JUST THE STYLE OF MORE OF THE SINGLE FAMILY KIND OF LOW HEIGHT, LOW DENSITY STYLE OF DEVELOPMENT. WHICH KIND OF TRIGGERED THESE. THE FIRST DEVIATION IS REGARDING THE INDOOR COMMON AREA FOR, UM, ELDER CARE, INDEPENDENT LIVING FACILITIES. THE G D. C HAS A REQUIREMENT THAT THERE MUST BE AT LEAST 100 SQUARE FEET PER DWELLING UNIT OF INDOOR COMMON AREA. SO WE'RE DOING THE MATH ADDS UP TO 11,000 SQUARE FEET OF INDOOR COMMON AREA, AND THAT CAN TYPICALLY INCLUDE, UM UM DINING ROOMS, LIBRARIES, GAME ROOMS, CARD ROOMS, THINGS LIKE THAT, SOMETIMES LITTLE JUST COVES OFF THE WHOLE HALLWAYS FOR DIFFERENT GAMES AND ACTIVITIES AND LEISURE . THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING AN APPROXIMATELY 3600 SQUARE FOOT CENTRALIZED AMENITY CENTER. UM THE KIND OF JUSTIFICATION PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANTS THAT PHASE TWO IS MORE OF A DUPLEX AND SINGLE FAMILY CONFIGURATION FOR SENIOR RESIDENTS RATHER THAN A TRADITIONAL AH, INDEPENDENT LIVING FACILITY. THE AMENITY CENTER CONSISTS OF A SPORTS PUB, FITNESS ROOM SHOWER ROOMS AT LEASING SPACE COPY ROOM AND MEETING ROOM. AND IN ADDITION, OF COURSE, I MENTIONED ALL THE OUTDOOR AMENITIES. THEY'LL HAVE AN OUTDOOR SWIMMING POOL, DOG PARK, PICKLEBALL COURT AND AMPHITHEATER. AND IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE EACH HOME WOULD HAVE ITS OWN GATHERING SPACE KIND OF LIVING ROOM AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO JUST A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT CONFIGURATION THAN A TRADITIONAL INDEPENDENT LIVING, WHICH MIMICS MORE OF A TRADITIONAL MULTI FAMILY COMPLEX. AND THEN BUILDING PLACEMENT IS THE OTHER DEVIATION AGAIN. IT KIND OF RELATES TO MORE OF A SINGLE FAMILY STYLE. THERE'S SOME SPECIFIC SETBACK REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE ACTUALLY SPECIFIC TO ELDER CARE. AND WHEN I SAY ELDER CARE THAT'S NOT JUST INDEPENDENT LIVING, BUT THAT INCLUDES, UM ASSISTED LIVING NURSING FACILITIES, INCLUDING HOSPICE TYPE FACILITIES THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE SO THIS IS PURELY RESIDENTIAL, JUST KIND OF THE 55 UP INDEPENDENT LIVING, SO THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING SOME DEVIATIONS TO ALLOW, UM, LESSER SETBACK. SO FROM MANDATORY 50 FT SETBACK. UM FOR ELDER CARE, THE APPLICANTS PROPOSING A 15 FT SETBACK. AND IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE SINGLE FAMILY AND TWO FAMILY DISTRICTS HAVE WOULD HAVE A 10 FT SETBACK SO THEY WOULD STILL EXCEED THAT SETBACK. IF YOU WERE TO APPLY IT IF YOU WOULD APPLY THAT SF SETBACK. AND THEN THE OTHER, UM DEVIATION RELATED TO BUILDING PLACEMENT.UM AS YOU MAY RECALL, THE N F ZERO DID ACTUALLY ACCOMMODATE THIS. THE 10 FT BUILDING SETBACK AS OPPOSED TO THE MULTI FAMILY MINIMUM 20 FT. SETBACK BETWEEN BUILDINGS. HOWEVER THERE IS A VERY SPECIFIC SET BACK FOR ELDER CARE AND INDEPENDENT LIVING THAT IT HAS TO BE A 20 FT SETBACK. SO
[00:40:06]
JUST WITH THE MORE SINGLE FAMILY STYLE. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A 10 FT SETBACK, WHICH AGAIN IT DOES ACTUALLY ALIGN WITH THE M F ZERO BASED ZONING. SO WITH THAT STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF YOUR REQUEST AND BE PLAYING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AS WELL. THAT WAS WITHIN 8 TO 0 VOTE. AND MAYOR PRO TEM WE MAILED OUT NINE NOTIFICATION LETTERS ON THIS CASE. WE RECEIVED ONE IN FAVOR THAT WAS WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION AREA AND RECEIVED ONE AGAINST AND THAT WAS OUTSIDE THE NOTIFICATION AREA. I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, SIR. ALRIGHT, COUNCIL. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? IT APPEARS WE DON'T THANK YOU, SIR. THE APPLICANT PRESENT. AND MADAM SECRETARY. WE DO WE DO NOT HAVE A, UM, A SPEAKER CARD FOR THIS APPLICANT? NOT OKAY. SIR ONCE YOU SPEAK, WILL YOU PLEASE FOLLOW UP AFTERWARDS BY FILLING OUT A SPEAKER CAR? ABSOLUTELY I'M STEPHEN BALLIOL WITH JEFFREY DAHMER AND ASSOCIATES, WHERE ACTUALLY THE ARCHITECT OF RECORD AND HERE REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT VERY HANDY. AND, UH, ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE WITH LOVE TO ANSWER THEM. OKAY, WE DO HAVE SOME COUNCILMAN BASS. THANK YOU. AND I'M NOT SURE IF THIS QUESTION WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR STAFF OR OR FOR THE APPLICANT. UM JUST HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ON THE DEVIATIONS FROM THE ELDER CARE REQUIREMENTS. UM . IN, UH, PLANNING COMMISSION TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE ANNUAL IT WAS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. UM BUT CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY THE ELDER CARE REQUIREMENTS ARE DIFFERENT? FOR EXAMPLE, THE BUILDINGS MUST BE 20 FT APART. AND THE SETBACK BEING 50 FT. SURE I THINK THERE'S PROBABLY TWO PARTLY SPECULATION OF THE INTENT. BUT THE 20 FT BUILDING PLACEMENT SETBACK SEEMED TO BE KIND OF A CARRY OVER ALMOST LIKE A COPY AND PASTE FROM THE MULTI FAMILY STANDARDS AS EXACT SAME STANDARDS. WE NOTICED THAT TOO, THERE'S SEVERAL DUPLICATIVE STANDARDS LISTED IN ELDER CARE THAT EXACT SAME AND MULTI FAMILY. THEY JUST, UM MADE SURE THERE WAS VERY CLEAR IN BOTH. AND I THINK THAT GENERALLY CONTEMPLATES, UM LIKE FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING, ESPECIALLY KIND OF MORE OF A MULTIFAMILY. WE HAVE 23. MAYBE EVEN FOUR STORIES, UM, KIND OF BUILDINGS THAT MIGHT NEED A LITTLE MORE SEPARATION. UM AS FAR AS THE WIDER SETBACK THAT IS CURIOUS. THERE'S A 50 FT SETBACK EVEN FOR THE SHORTER BUILDINGS IN HEIGHT.UM KIND OF SPECULATION. BUT, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, ELDER CARE. HAS A VERY BRIDE CATEGORY SO THAT THAT COULD INCLUDE, UM NURSING CARE, WHICH WHICH IN THE G, D C SAYS ALLOWS, YOU KNOW, HOSPICE CARE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO IT'S JUST A IT'S A DIFFERENT USE AND USES THAT MIGHT NEED A LITTLE MORE PRIVACY, SECLUSION JUST LITTLE MORE BUFFERING BETWEEN THAT WHEREAS THIS IS KIND OF MORE OF A TRUE UM, YOU KNOW, SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD TYPE STYLE. OKAY, SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THE, UM THE MF LIRO. UM OR. WOULD BE JUST FINE FOR THIS. THERE'S NO SAFETY ISSUES WERE POSSIBLY LOOKING AT FROM THE OR ANYTHING WITH I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT'S DIFFERENT FOR THE ELDER CARE, YOU KNOW? YEAH I UNDERSTAND. DO IT. BUT YOU GUYS DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.
ANY PROBLEM WITH THAT? NOT NOT PARTICULARLY. AND OF COURSE, THE COMPLEX WILL BE FENCED, FENCED IN AS WELL. THEY'LL BE METAL ORNAMENTAL FENCE, CORRECT. YES. YES SIR. OKAY. ALRIGHT. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN HEDRICK. THANK YOU, MADAM PRO TIM. QUESTION IS REGARDING THE PARKING PROVIDED THERE'S ALMOST 200% OF THE REQUIRED PARKING PROVIDED. CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY SO GREAT OF A PARKING AMOUNT IS PROVIDED. SO THINK OF THE RESIDENTIAL STREET KIND OF CONFIGURATION, AND THERE IS ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET PARKING ALLOWED. AND SO THE THOUGHT IS, YOU KNOW FROM ONCE A YEAR WHEN SOMEONE MAY HAVE CHRISTMAS GUESTS OR ANOTHER TIME OF YEAR WHERE SOMEONE WE HAVE EASTER GUESSED IT MAY YOU KNOW, HAVE SEVERAL FOLKS THAT WANT TO PARK ON THE STREET, SO WE JUST WOULD RATHER HAVE EXTRA PARKING THAN NOT ENOUGH. AND THEN THE OTHER IS IN THE CENTER. LOCATED IS OUR CLUBHOUSE AND THAT HAS PARKING AROUND AT PARALLEL PARKING. BUT IN ADDITION, IF THERE WAS AN EVENT AT THE AMPHITHEATER OR PICKLEBALL, UH.
DEMONSTRATION OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT AND MAY HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT WANT TO COME VISIT.
WANNA ENJOY THE OPPORTUNITY AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S PLENTY OF PLACES TO PARK SO HENCE WHY WE ARE OVER PARTED. WE'RE NOT ANTICIPATING. EVER PROBABLY HAVING THAT MANY RESIDENTS OR THAT MANY FOLKS PARKING THERE, BUT WE JUST WANTED TO BE
[00:45:05]
PREPARED. AND THEY HAD ONE THING IF I COULD MAYOR PRO TEM UM YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION AND TO FURTHER EXPLAINED THAT WE DID IDENTIFY THE STAFF FOR THE 300 SPACES, AND THE APPLICANT NOTED THAT IN THE PLANS AS WELL , BUT WHAT? HOW IT'S CONFIGURED AS THERE'D BE GARAGES, OF COURSE, ENCLOSED GARAGES AND THEY IDENTIFIED IN ADDITION TO THE GARAGE SPACES, IDENTIFY THE DRIVEWAYS AS PARKING SPACES. SO IN REALITY, IT'S A SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD TYPE FORMAT THAT IDENTIFIED EACH AND EVERY DRIVEWAY AND GARAGE SPACE FIGURE. AS MUCH OF THE 20 FT DRIVEWAY SPECIFIED FOR CARGO SPACE. ONE MORE QUESTION I HAVE ALSO CONCERNING THE DETAILED PLAN IS THAT YOU'VE BEEN MENTIONED YOURSELF JUST NOW. HE PICKLEBALL DEMONSTRATION. WOULD YOU BE OPPOSED TO REMOVING THE FUTURE LABEL FROM THE PICKLE BALL COURT AND THE AMPHITHEATER ON THE DETAILED PLAN? NOT AT ALL . BASICALLY AGAIN, AS UH, WAS STATED EARLIER. WE WERE AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH THE DESIGN PHASES. WE'LL HEAR A LOT OF TIMES FOLKS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN POTENTIALLY LIVE IN. THEY'RE ASKING FOR SOMETHING SPECIFIC. WE DIDN'T KNOW IF PICKLEBALL WOULD BE POPULAR. NOT OBVIOUSLY IT IS SO THAT WILL BE INSTALLED . THE INTENT IS WHATEVER IS SHOWING ON THE SHOWING ON THE PLAN WILL BE INSTALLED. OKAY THANK YOU. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS . THANK YOU. OKAY. AH. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. THANK YOU. MAYOR, FOR EXAMPLE. GOOD EVENING, SIR. WOULD YOU EXPLAIN TO ME? I THINK I KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT UM IN THE DEVIATIONS. IT SAYS THEY THE AFRICAN IS ALSO STATES THAT EACH HOME WILL HAVE ITS OWN GATHERING SPACE. AND LOOK BACK AT THE SITE PLAN. WOULD YOU EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT'S HIS WHAT'S TOGETHER IN SPACE? ABSOLUTELY SO THINK OF EACH OF THE UNITS ARE 1200 APPROXIMATELY 1250 SQUARE FEET AND THE PHASE ONE IS THE TRADITIONAL AND LET'S GO BACK IN HISTORY. JUST A LITTLE BIT. FORGIVE ME IF I AM I MAKING THIS A LITTLE CONVOLUTED, BUT THE PHASE ONE IS A TRADITIONAL INDEPENDENT, HIS SISTER LIVING YEAH. COMPLEX CAMPUS. AND THAT EACH OF THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS ARE DESIGNED IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT HAS A SMALL KITCHEN SPACE, BASICALLY TO MICROWAVE AND A SINK OR INDEPENDENT LIVING THIS STOVE AND FRIDGE AND SUCH, BUT THE THOUGHT IS TO HAVE, FOLKS UH.LOVE THEIR RESIDENT UNIT BUT ACTUALLY GET OUT AND BE ACTIVE AND PARTICIPATE IN THE IN THE DINING HALL OR OR ACTIVITY SPACES OR ON THE OUTSIDE, UH, POOL AREA AND THOSE SORTS OF THINGS. THERE'S AN ACTIVITY DIRECTOR ON CAMPUS. SO PHASE ONE INVITED BY ALL THE CRITERIA WITH THE TRADITIONAL REQUIREMENTS STATED WITHIN THAT STYLE OF DESIGN. THIS, HOWEVER, AGAIN NOW GOING BACK TO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING THIS EVENING. EACH OF THE UNITS ARE 12 APPROXIMATELY 1250 SQUARE FEET. THEY ALL HAVE A SINGLE CAR GARAGE. THEY HAVE A FULL KITCHEN. THEY HAVE A GREAT ROOM, AND THAT GREAT ROOM KITCHEN SPACE COMBINED IS ABOUT 500 SQUARE FEET, AND SO THE FOLKS THAT WILL BE LIVING IN THE END OF IT COTTAGES WILL BE PREPARING THEIR OWN MEALS. THERE WILL BE, YOU KNOW, HAVING GUESTS OVER THEIR TWO BEDROOM ALSO, SO THEY CAN, YOU KNOW, HAVE A FRIEND STAY OR GRANDCHILD OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE SO THEIR CURRENT CONFIGURED LIKE A TRADITIONAL TWO BEDROOM HOUSE, JUST IN A DUET CONFIGURATION. AND THE THOUGHT IS, UM, THAT BECAUSE THEY'RE SET UP THAT WAY , WE ARE PROVIDING THAT SPACE THAT WERE TYPICALLY IN THE TRADITIONAL STYLE INDEPENDENT AND ASSISTED LIVING. WANT TO GET THE FOLKS OUT AND ACTIVE IN THIS CASE, WE WANT THEM TO FEEL THIS IS JUST LIKE THEIR HOME LIKE THEY WOULD BE IN A SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED SOMEWHERE ELSE. UM HOWEVER, STATING THAT MF ZERO ASKS THAT WE PROVIDE A CLUBHOUSE AND SO THE BASED ON THE NUMBER OF UNITS THAT CLUBHOUSE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO BE 2500 SQUARE FEET.
WE THINK THAT'S A LITTLE LIGHT. SO THAT'S HENCE WHY WE'RE PROPOSING THE APPROXIMATELY 3600 SQUARE FEET SO LARGER THAN THAT , AND THEN THE AMENITY SPACE AROUND THAT, SO I KNOW THAT WAS CONVOLUTED. HOPEFULLY THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION. IF NOT LET ME TRY AND ANSWER IT MORE DETAIL IF I COULD OKAY, SO THIS GATHERING SPACE WOULD ACTUALLY BE A PART OF THEIR QUOTE. LIVING SPACE. THAT'S CORRECT UNIT. AM I CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. YEAH EACH UNIT HAS A PROXIMITY OF IT'S A GREAT ROOM AND THAT WITH THE KITCHEN'S APPROXIMATELY 500 SQUARE FEET ALRIGHT. OKAY. OKAY NOW I GOT IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXPLANATIONS HERE. THANK YOU, LIEUTENANT. ANY MORE QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL. I DO NOT SEE ANY. UM COUNCILMAN HEDRICK, ARE YOU PREPARED TO MAKE A MOTION? OKAY?

THERE'S A ALI'S AND DDS DISCOUNT STORES HERE TO THE KIND OF NORTHEAST I BELIEVE THERE'S A T MOBILE CELL PHONE STORE TO THE WEST ACROSS BROADWAY, OF COURSE, IS THE BROADWAY CENTERVILLE SHOPPING CENTER AND THEN FURTHER TO THE EAST IS, UM, ANOTHER BANK, WHICH HAS A ON OFF SOME OFFICE BUILDINGS, BUT INCLUDES A BANK, WHICH ALSO HAS A DRIVE. THRU SERVICE, CHASE BANK.

P. TIME PERIOD GUIDES RECOMMENDATION OF 25 TO 30 YEARS. AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AS WELL WITH AN 8 TO 0 VOTE.
HOWEVER THEY DID RECOMMEND A 25 YEAR. S U P. AND WITH THAT MAYOR PRO TEM WE MAILED OUT 28 NOTIFICATION LETTERS ON THIS CASE, AND WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RESPONSES. OKAY? ALRIGHT COUNCIL . DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR WILL KAREN YOU KNOW? I DON'T WANT TO SAY, BUT YOU OUGHT TO

UM WE ARE HERE REQUESTING AN S U P AND THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR THE PROPOSED FROST BANK. UM THE EXISTING LOT IS JUST A VACANT PARKING LOT KIND OF UNUSED. SO REALLY FROST BANK IS COMING IN TO REVITALIZE . UM THIS PORTION OF THE PARKING LOT WE ARE COMING IN REQUESTING AN INDEFINITE S U P FROST BANK IS INTENDING TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY, SO IT'S NOT A LEASE WITH A FINITE PERIOD THEY ARE INTENDING TO PURCHASE IT. FROST BANK DOES HAVE PROPERTIES IN THE DALLAS FORT WORTH AREA THAT HAVE BEEN IN OPERATION FOR WELL OVER 25 YEARS, WHICH IS REALLY OUR JUSTIFICATION FOR ASKING FOR AN INDEFINITE S U P, PLEASE. UM OTHERWISE, I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY. WE DO HAVE QUESTIONS. UM COUNCILMAN, MORE THANK YOU. THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS SUGGESTED RECOMMENDED AT 25 YEARS. AH S U P. WOULD THAT BE A DEAL BREAKER THAT ARE CAN YOU TALK TO THAT? NO, SIR. THAT WOULD NOT BE A DEAL BREAKER. AND USUALLY WHEN THE PLANNING COMMISSION MAKES THAT SUGGESTION, I'M LOOKING NOW FOR A REASON, SOMETHING THAT WOULD CAUSE ME TO SAY OKAY, LET'S LET'S GO FURTHER, BUT USUALLY WHEN THEY MAKE A RECOMMENDATION LIKE THAT, THEY HAVE A PRETTY GOOD REASON FOR DOING SO, AND I'M PRETTY MUCH INCLINED TO KIND OF STICK WITH THAT 25 YEARS. SO YOU MAY SPEAK , PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, AND I'LL ALSO NEED YOU TO FILL OUT A SPEAKER GUARD. THANK YOU. WE HAD HEARD THAT BEFORE WE DID THAT. OH WELL DONE . OKAY MY NAME IS BOBBY GUCCI. I'M WITH FROST BANK. UH 111, WEST HOUSTON. SAME TIME OF YOUR TEXAS. AND, UM. WE'RE NOT REAL SURE WHAT WE DO AFTER 25 YEARS.
UM IF WE COME BACK IN, WE DO HAVE A WE'VE BEEN AROUND 154 YEARS, SO WE'RE PRETTY STABLE BANK. WE'VE GONE THROUGH A LOT OF DIFFICULT TIMES AND YOU KNOW, WE WERE THE ONLY TOP IF SOME OF YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THE EIGHTIES AND WHAT HAPPENED. THEN I WAS AROUND AND WE WERE THE ONLY TOP 10 BANK THAT SURVIVED THE EIGHTIES IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. SO WE ARE STABLE AND WE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT HAVING OUR SECOND LOCATION IN GARLAND. AND WE PLAN TO BE HERE FOR A LONG TIME. AND SO WE WOULD. YOU KNOW, THAT'S KIND OF THE REASON AND WE ARE BUYING IT OR PURCHASING THIS LAND. SO WE THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE REQUEST FOR THE INDEFINITE. UM I'M I DON'T KNOW. WHAT IS THE PROCESS? AT THE END OF 25 YEARS. MR GIVEN? YES I HAVE ABSOLUTELY SO WHEN AN SUV TIME PERIOD EXPIRES, IT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO NEEDING TO ASSUMING YOU'D WANT TO CONTINUE THE OPERATION BEYOND THE 25 YEARS. UM THEN IT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO COMING BACK THROUGH THE PROCESS THE PLANE COMMISSION COUNSEL TO ASK FOR AN EXTENSION OR RENEWAL FOR A NEW TIME PERIOD. THANK YOU. OKAY UH, I'M WAITING NOW BEFORE TO LISTEN TO COUNSEL. BUT I AM PREPARED TO PUT FORTH THEY EMOTION AT THIS POINT WITH THE 25 YEAR. OKAY LET'S LET'S WAITING FOR COUNCIL NOW. OKAY? THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN BASS. THANK YOU WILL. CAN YOU COME UP TO THE MIC, PLEASE? WE'RE GIVING HIM GOOD EXERCISE. IT IS IT IS. OKAY SO THIS THIS DISCUSSION ABOUT S U P AS OPPOSED TO ME EXPLAINING WHAT THE PURPOSE OF AN S U P IS. WILL WOULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN THE PURPOSE OF AN SCP THE PURPOSE OF LIMITATIONS ON IT? UM, BECAUSE IT'S JUST SOME OF THE CONVERSATION I'M HEARING. IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF MISUNDERSTANDING . ABOUT WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THE TIME LIMITS UNLESS YOU PR IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN THAT. APPRECIATE IT. YES YES. U P. OF COURSE, AS YOU KNOW, IN IN THE LAND USE MATRIX IN THE G D. C. THERE'S A LIST OF LAND USES IN EACH ZONING DISTRICT AND SOME OF WHICH ARE PERMITTED BY RIGHT WHICH MEANS THEY MAY BE, UM, JUST SIMPLY PERMITTED BY THE CITY WITHOUT THE NEED FOR ANY REZONING OR OR ANYTHING. UM AND IT'S JUST THE POLICY HAS BEEN MADE THAT THAT'S A USE THAT THE CITY IS
[01:00:04]
COMFORTABLE WITH ALLOWING BY, RIGHT AND THEN THERE ARE OTHER, UM THERE'S ANOTHER LIST OF USES THAT ARE ALLOWED BY S U P. AND SO THIS WOULD BE AN EXAMPLE OF THE DRIVE THRU SERVICE, THE BANK ITSELF IS ALLOWED BY, RIGHT BUT THE DRIVE THRU SERVICES WHAT TRIGGERS AN S U. P. SO IT'S REALLY FOR LACK OF BETTER WORDS. A CASE BY CASE BASIS DECISION THAT GOES TO THE PLANE COMMISSION AND COUNCIL TO DECIDE IF THIS USES APPROPRIATE ON THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA. IN SOME CASES, IT MAY BE APPROPRIATE. IN SOME CASES, IT MAY NOT BE, BUT A TIME PERIOD IS, UM, IN MOST CASES, WELL, IN ALL CASES, THE TIME PERIOD IS ASSOCIATED WITH AN S U P THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW BUT NOT A WHOLE LOT OF AS UPS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED WITH AN INDEFINITE TIME PERIOD. IT'S MUCH MORE THAN NORM THAT THEY HAVE SOME SORT OF EXPIRATION. AND, UM AND IT GIVES THE CITY AN OPPORTUNITY AT THAT POINT, UM, TO DECIDE IF IT'S STILL AN APPROPRIATE WHEN HE'S MOVING FORWARD IF THE APPLICANT COMES FORWARD TO ASK FOR AN EXTENSION. RIGHT THANK YOU. SO I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR. SO THE S U P TIME LIMIT IS RELATED TO USE NOT RELATED TO HOW. WE HOW SUCCESSFUL WE FEEL THE BUSINESS IS GOING TO BE THERE. IT'S RELATED TO LAND USE. THAT'S CORRECT. THAT'S A GREAT POINT. AND REALLY IN THE ZONING FOR THAT MATTER IS TIED TO THE LAND USED. NOT THE APPLICANT. THANK YOU APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU, MARY. PROBLEM. THANK YOU.COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. MR GARRETT. THANK YOU DO THIS TO YOU STAY UP HERE. BE WISE BACK ON COUNCILMAN BEST. SO THE USES IS ALLOWED BY RIGHT CORRECT. THE BANK IS ALLOWED BY RIGHT IT'S THE DRIVE THRU SERVICE THAT, UM, IS THE REASON WE'RE HERE IS THE S U P REQUEST? YES, SIR. IF IN THE FUTURE. SINCE 25 YEARS. JUST IT'S IT. IT'S A NUMBER THAT'S BEING BANTERED AROUND. IF IN THE FUTURE, UH TAUGHT TO USE. THERE THEY ARE. THE PRINCIPAL WANTS TO CHANGE. THE DRIVE THROUGH PROVISION. WHAT WOULD THEY HAVE TO DO? UM DEPENDS ON WHAT THEY WANT TO CHANGE IT. BUT YES, IT WOULD BE BECAUSE THE SCP ORDINANCE DOES HAVE A ASSOCIATED SITE PLAN. WITH IT. IF THEY'RE WANTING TO SAY EXAMPLE, THAT'S IT IF THEY WANT TO REMOVE IT, LET'S SAY IF THEY WERE EVEN 25 YEARS. AND THEY WANT TO REMOVE THE DRIVE THROUGH. EARLY YEAR TIME SWING. YES, SIR. WHAT WOULD THEY HAVE? UM THEY COULD REMOVE IT THAT WOULDN'T NEED APPROVALS . THE SCP APPROVAL IS THAT IT CAN BE THERE. BUT THE BANK, OF COURSE, IS ALLOWED USE BY WRITES THE BANK COULD REMAIN AND THE APPLICANT COULD COULD REMOVE IT. BUT IF THEY WANTED TO EXPAND IT OR ADD TO IT THAT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO NEEDING TO AMEND THAT AS MR MR ENGLAND NEEDS TO SPEAK. I WAS JUST GOING TO REMIND COUNSEL THAT BECAUSE OF THE PROVISIONS THAT WE HAVE FOR SGPS, EITHER IN THE STANDARDIZED LANGUAGE FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL ONE THAT IF THEY ABANDONED THE USE OF THE DRIVE THROUGH THE S U P WOULD AUTOMATICALLY EXPIRE AT THAT POINT. THANKS. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING. AND THAT THAT IF THEY HAVE BEEN IN THAT THAT USE IT WOULD EXPIRE, RIGHT? YES, WE'VE WE'VE THANKS FOR THE REMINDER. WE'VE STARTED ADDING ABANDONMENT CLAUSES AND CONDITIONS DOCUMENTS SO YES, THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR CITY ATTORNEY. THANK YOU, MA'AM. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN MORE ARE ARE YOU PUNCHED IN FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING EMOTION OR OR FOR MORE DISCUSSION? OKAY? YOU HAVE THE MIC. THANK YOU. I THINK I'M PRETTY WELL UNDERSTOOD THE USE OF THE S AND P. AND ONE OF THE REASONS THAT I BROUGHT THAT QUESTION FORWARD IS THAT WE ARE GROWING CITY, A GROWING COMMUNITY AND I JUST DON'T WANT TO PUT US IN THE SITUATION WHERE WE TIE OURSELVES UNTIL WE BIND OURSELVES AND JUST SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTLY TO PUT A TIME FRAME ON IT, AND WE HAVE OPPORTUNITY AT THAT TIME TO COME BACK AND REVISIT. SO THAT'S THE REASON THAT I PUT IT FORWARD. THANK YOU. OKAY COUNCIL ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? OKAY ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION AMONG COUNCIL ON THIS I JUST LIKE TO ASK THE APPLICANT AGAIN. 25 YEARS WITH THAT, BE AGREEABLE WITH YOU. OH YES, WE'RE OK. YEAH, THIS IS I LIKE TO HAVE YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW? BECAUSE WE PLAN ON BEING THERE FOR OVER 25 YEARS , SO JUST BUT IF WE HAVE TO COME BACK AND SEE YOU ALL IN 25 YEARS, WE'LL COME BACK, RIGHT? YEAH RIGHT OUT.

WE HAVE ADDITIONAL. OH, I'M SORRY. ALRIGHT HOLD AND COUNCILMAN HEDRICK DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION. I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THE MOTION FOR THE MOMENT. I KNOW SOMEONE WHO ASKED FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS TIME PERIOD GUIDELINE, ESPECIALLY FOR THESE DRIVE THROUGH TYPE USES. MY INTENTION ON THESE KIND OF USERS. MORE OF THESE KIND OF NUISANCE TYPE DRIVE THROUGHS, WHICH MAY INCLUDE RESTAURANTS THAT HAVE MORE TRAFFIC AND SMELLS AND THAT KIND OF THING COMING THROUGH THERE, WE'VE SEEN THE NATURE OF DRIVE THROUGH RESTAURANTS CHANGE, ESPECIALLY DURING COVID AND I THINK A TIME PERIOD FOR THOSE USES MIGHT BE WORTHY BUT FOR THIS SITE, GIVEN THIS APPLICANT, THEIR 100 YEAR HISTORY, THEY'RE PROVEN INVESTMENT IN GARLAND, INCLUDING THE FROST BEING SITE IN MY DISTRICT, AND, UH, I WOULD AND GIVEN ALSO THIS, MR GARY MENTIONED CONSIDERED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. THIS TRACK LAND HAS NO RESIDENCE AROUND IT. IT'S AN UNDERUTILIZED TRACT IS BEING REHABILITATED IN A EXISTING SHOPPING'S THAT ARE I'D LIKE TO MAKE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO, UM MOVE THIS TO AN UNLIMITED TIME PERIOD FROM A 25 YEAR TIME PERIOD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. OKAY UM. MR ENGLAND. WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE AT THIS POINT, SO WE HAVE AN AMENDMENT. ORIGINAL AMENDMENT WITH A SECOND . WE NOW HAVE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDMENT WITH A SECOND. I ONLY HEARD ONE AMENDMENT UNLESS I MISSED ONE. SO YOU VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT AND THEN BASED ON THAT, THEN YOU TAKE A SECOND VOTE. HOWEVER I WAS GOING TO JUST QUICKLY SAYING IT'S AND IT'S JUST PARSING WORDS. UM BUT BASED ON RECENT LITIGATION INVOLVING A QUOTE, UNLIMITED TIME PERIOD, LET'S JUST SAY THAT THE THERE'S NOT A DEFINITE EXPIRATION DATE ON THE SGP INSTEAD OF UNLIMITED TIME PERIOD. AND I KNOW IT'S JUST PARSING WORDS. BUT WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE GET THAT RIGHT BECAUSE WE ARE WE HAVE LITIGATED. THAT ISSUE RECENTLY CHANGED MY MOOD TO A INDEFINITE , DEFINITE TIME PERIOD, WELL, NO EXPIRATION PERIOD AND EXPERT WITHOUT AN EXPIRATION. THERE WE GO. INDEFINITE TIME PERIOD WITHOUT AN EXPERT. JUST JUST NO EXPIRATION PERIOD. WE'RE JUST GONNA BASICALLY GRANT SCP AND NOT EVEN MENTION THE TIME PERIOD ON IT, OKAY? AH! COUNCILMAN, MORE. THERE WE GO. THAT I YOU SAY THAT IN YOUR DISTRICT.

I APOLOGIZE BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU, BUT I'LL JUST KEEP TALKING. THERE WE GO. YES I AM. YES, THERE IS A FROST BANK. IT DID UTILIZE A PREVIOUSLY BANK SITE. SO I'M UNCERTAIN WHETHER OR NOT A CHANGE IN A ZONING WAS REQUIRED FOR THAT SIDE. DO THEY HAVE? THE S U P THAT YOU'RE PUTTING FORTH LIKE I SAID, IT'S EXISTING BANK SITE, SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT THEIR ZONING REQUIREMENTS WERE FOR THAT SIDE. I BELIEVE IT WAS BY RIGHT AT WITH USING THE EXISTING UNDER THE EXISTING PREVIOUS USER THAT WAS THERE. SINCE WE'VE OWNED THE LAND AND NOT THE APP, NOTHING THAT IS CORRECT. IT WAS ALREADY THE ZONING WAS IN PLACE , THE SAME ZONING THAT WE HE'S PUTTING FORTH PRESENTLY. AH, YES , SIR. YES SIR. THAT BEING THE CASE I'M ALL ABOUT EQUALITY.
