INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. ZONING ITEM THREE, A CONSIDERATION OF THE APPLICATION OF PRIME DATA CENTERS AND MUNCH HEART COPE AND CAR REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A CHANGE IN ZONING FROM AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO A PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR A COMMUNITY OFFICE USES AND IN DETAILED PLAN FOR A DATA CENTER AND ELECTRIC SUBSTATIONS. THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN 2000 HA FOR ROAD. I'VE GOT, UH, THREE APPLICANT CARDS OF ONE OR ALL OF THEM. WANT TO COME UP? WHICHEVER ORDER UH, ANGELA HUNT, UH, RUSTY COHEN AND MICHAEL HOGAN. GOOD EVENING, MR CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION. I'M ANGELA HUNT AND I REPRESENT THE APPLICANT IN THIS CASE. UH, I HAVE JUST A COUPLE OF SLIDES TO SHOW YOU AND IT'S MAINLY JUST TO SHOW YOU THE QUALITY OF THE

[00:25:04]

BUILDING AND THE CONSTRUCTION THAT WE'LL BE DOING. UH, THIS IS THE VIEW OF THE BUILDING FROM HOLFORD ROAD. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF TREES AND, UM WE WERE IN THE AUDIENCE DURING YOUR, UH UH, BRIEFING EARLIER INTO COMMISSIONER JENKINS POINT ABOUT THE TREES.

UH, COMMISSIONER, WE ARE CERTAINLY OPEN TO DISCUSSING A DIFFERENT LAYOUT OF THE TREES THAT MIGHT BE MORE APPROPRIATE, GIVEN ITS ADJACENCY TO THE PRESERVE, SO WE'RE HAPPY. CONTI CONTINUE THAT CONVERSATION WITH STAFF. I WILL SAY WE HAVE ABOUT DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF CODE REQUIRED TREES ALONG THE FRONT. UM AND THAT REALLY CREATES MORE OF A LUSH LANDSCAPE, ESPECIALLY AS IT IS TO A NEIGHBORHOOD ACROSS THE STREET. ALSO ACROSS THE STREET. I THINK THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT RESIDENTIAL ADJACENT. ALSO ACROSS THE STREET . THERE IS A COMMERCIAL, UM, AREA. THERE'S A LANDSCAPING BUSINESS ACROSS THE STREET. THERE'S ALSO A FIRE STATION RIGHT OVER THERE, BUT CERTAINLY WE'LL HAVE, UM, A AS COMMISSIONER ROSE POINTED OUT A PRETTY WIDE BERTH FROM UH, THE RESIDENTIAL AREA BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION ON HOLFORD ROAD. I I'M HERE, ALONG WITH OUR ENGINEER RUSTY COHEN, WHO'S IN THE AUDIENCE, UH, ALSO HERE ON BEHALF OF PRIME DATA CENTERS IS CHRIS SUMPTER. SO IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS Y'ALL MIGHT HAVE. WE'RE HERE TO ANSWER THEM. UH AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION. WE ALSO TALKED, UH, WITH WILL ABOUT, UM, THE CHAIR'S POINT ABOUT ELIMINATING OTHER USES, AND WE'RE CERTAINLY, UH, OPEN TO THAT AND MORE SUPPORTIVE OF THAT, SINCE THAT IS, UH, A MAJOR INVESTMENT $1.3 BILLION INVESTMENT IN THE PROJECT AND THEN WITH THE OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'LL GO INSIDE THE BUILDINGS. THAT'S A $3 BILLION INVESTMENT. THANK YOU. WE'RE TALKING REAL MONEY, HUH? A FEW DOLLARS COMMISSIONER ROSE. YEAH. UH, YES, MA'AM. HARFORD ROAD IS BEING DELAYED. FOR A LOT OF REASONS. HOW'S THAT GOING TO AFFECT THE DEVELOPMENT YOU'RE CLIENTS LOOKING AT VERY GOOD PROJECT. UH QUESTION, COMMISSIONER. UH, DATA CENTER USE DOES NOT REQUIRE HIGH TRAFFIC ACTIVITY. UM, WHICH IS A GOOD THING IF WE'RE LOOKING AT PUSHING OUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF HOLFORD ROAD. UM IT'S NOT A PROJECT THAT, UH THE APPLICANT WOULD UNDERTAKE. UH WITHOUT, UH, FUNDING, UM WITH THE CITY. AND YOUR, UH, YOUR APPLICANT IS GOING TO MOVE FORWARD. AND PUT THIS IN. REGARDLESS OF HOW LONG IT MIGHT TAKE ALFORD ROAD TO GO FROM BUSH TO I'M SO YEAH, FROM BUSH TO RAPA HO ROAD. YES, SIR. OK. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER DALTON AND COMMISSIONER ABEL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN. I KNOW A QUESTION IS RAISED BY SOME PEOPLE AROUND THESE TYPE OF FACILITIES AND I AM A TECHNICAL PERSON, SO I UNDERSTAND. THESE BUILDINGS WILL HAVE VERY LITTLE STAFF INSIDE CORRECT. THAT'S RIGHT. WE'RE ANTICIPATING ABOUT 60. FULL TIME EQUIVALENT EMPLOYEES, UM, JUST WITH THE OWNERSHIP ENTITY, AND THEN THE TENANTS WILL PROBABLY HAVE AT LEAST 30 EMPLOYEES BETWEEN THE THREE BUILDINGS. THAT RIGHT YEAH . SO 10 PEOPLE PER BUILDING ON A 24 7 BASIS. OR AT LEAST SOME STAFF WILL BE OVERNIGHT OR 24 7 IT WE'RE WE'RE ANTICIPATING ABOUT 30. FOLKS IN EACH BUILDING . YEAH OK, THAT'S ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT'S RAISED. THEY ALWAYS RAISE THINKING THERE'S A HEAVY TRAFFIC LOAD. AND WHEN YOU TAKE ALMOST A MILLION SQUARE FOOT OF BUILDING YOU, YOU NORMALLY WOULD HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE. BUT A DATA CENTER IS A VERY, VERY DEAD PLACE INSIDE. IT IS AND COMMISSIONER. ONE THING I WOULD POINT OUT IS WHEN WE ORIGINALLY DESIGNED THIS PROJECT . UM BECAUSE OF THE NEEDS OF THE PROJECT. WE HAVE TO HAVE AN ELECTRIC SUBSTATION HERE, AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID IS WE MOVED THE SUBSTATION WHICH HAD BEEN, UH, ON THE EAST SIDE NORTHEAST SIDE OF THE PROJECT BACK BEHIND IT, AND THAT CREATES A MORE ATTRACTIVE FRONT ALONG HOLFORD ROAD AS WELL. RIGHT I. I APPRECIATE SEEING THAT BECAUSE THAT, UH, REMOVES THAT UM. VIEW FROM ANYONE JUST DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THOSE SUBSTATIONS THAT ARE BACK THERE AND I KNOW AGAIN. I UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR HAVING THE UM BUT THAT WAS MORE OF MY QUESTION, BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME PEOPLE QUESTIONING TRAFFIC FLOW. AND DURING CONSTRUCTION, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A BIG ISSUE ON HARFORD ROAD. THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT AGAIN. I UNDERSTAND, BUT DURING DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS, IT'S VERY , VERY LIGHT PERSONNEL IN THOSE BUILDINGS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

COMMISSIONER ABEL THEN COMMISSIONER JENKINS. THANK YOU. UM WHAT IS THE LIGHTING SITUATION FACING HOLFORD ROAD? WILL YOU HAVE NIGHT TIME LIGHTING. TOWARDS THE RESIDENCES

[00:30:07]

AWAY FROM THE RESIDENCES WOULD BE LIKE OVERHEAD AND SIGNS WHAT WE HAVE FOCUSED ON MAKING THE LIGHTING VERY, UH, THOUGHTFUL, BECAUSE WE ARE AWARE THAT THERE'S A NEIGHBORHOOD ACROSS THE STREET SO ALL LIGHTING WILL BE DOWN. LIGHTING WILL BE FOCUSED INWARD. WE AREN'T ANTICIPATING ANY BIG POLE LIGHTING. OK, THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER JENKINS. YOU, MR CHAIR. GOOD EVENING, MA'AM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION AND FOR ADDRESSING SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT UH UH, THAT WE'VE WASTED DURING THE WORK SESSION. UM I WANT TO REITERATE THAT I BELIEVE THAT THIS UM PROPOSAL HIGHLIGHTS AS YOU'VE ALREADY POINTED OUT, UH, SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS IN TERMS OF BUFFERING WITH SCREENING AND LANDSCAPING, UH, THAT WERE FAR AND OF FAR AND BEYOND WHAT IT'S REQUIRED OF THE G DC. UM AS I MENTIONED AT THAT TIME AS WELL, I'VE GOT NO PARTICULAR HEARTBURN IN HIM. UM, UH AND AM OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THE CONSIDERATION TO WORK ALONG WITH CITY STAFF TO, UH, YOU KNOW, HAVE A TRANSITION BETWEEN THE NATURE PRESERVE AND THE PROPERTY ITSELF. THAT, UH, WOULULD, UH AMELIORATE SOME OF E CONCERNS OF THE RESIDENTS REGARDING THE INDUSTRIAL LOOK OF THE, UH, IN TERMS OF THE CHARACTER OF THE BUILDING. UM ADDITIONALLY, IT LOOKS AS IF THE BUILDING IS REALLY NEW AGE AND MODERN. IT'S NOT SOMETHING IT'S NOT JUST AAA, UH, COMMUNIST, UH, GRAY, YOU KNOW, HORRIBLE LOOKING BUILDING. IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S THOUGHTFULLY, UH, CONSIDERED AND CONSTRUCTED. SO I. I AM A HAPPY WITH THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. AND BELIEVE THAT IT COULD BE A GREAT, UH, USE OF THE LAND AND THAT YOU'VE GOT NO NO ISSUES FOR ME. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER ROSE AND COMMISSIONER PERS I. I THINK MY QUESTION IS REALLY FOR STAFF, AND THAT IS IF SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE THEY DECIDE TO TURN THIS INTO A RENTED OFFICE BUILDING OR MANUFACTURING BUILDING. UH, THEY CAN'T DO THAT . FOR ONE REASON I'M THINKING THINKING IS THERE'S NO PARKING BUT WHAT ELSE IS INVOLVED WITH THE CITY IF THEY OPT TO DO THAT? SURE UM AND, UH, COMMISSIONER ROSE. I THINK THAT GOES BACK TO THE DISCUSSION WE'RE HAVING IN THE PREME. AND AT THIS HUNT ALLUDED TO A LITTLE WHILE AGO IN THAT, UM, WE CAN CONDITION THE PD, UM, TO ALLOW ONLY THE DATA CENTER WITH THE SUBSTATION USED ONLY VERSUS OPENING IT UP TO OTHER, UM, USES IN THE COMMUNITY OFFICE DISTRICT THAT MAY BE OF CONCERN OR, UM, OR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER. SO WE'RE WE'RE HAPPY TO DO THAT. AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE APPLICANT IS, UM, IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER PARISON AND COMMISSIONER ALEN. GOOD EVENING. JUST ONE QUICK QUESTION. THIS MAY HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED DURING THE PRE MEETING. BUT JUST WANNA VOICE IT AGAIN IN TERMS OF SOUND . THAT WAS ONE OF THE COMMENTS THAT CAME BACK. CAN YOU ADDRESS JUST THE CONCERNS AROUND SOUND AS AN ISSUE? CERTAINLY UH, COMMISSIONER FOR ONE. IT'S A LOW TRAFFIC USE. UM, AS COMMISSIONER , JENKINS NOTED, UM, SECONDLY, THIS IS NOT A ALLOWED USE. UM THE GENERATOR YARD THAT'S IN BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS THAT WOULD GENERATE SOUND IS BUFFERED BY PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL, UH, TWO STORY BUILDINGS, SO WE REALLY DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT THIS IS, UM BUILDING OR PROJECT THAT CAUSES NOISE ISSUES WITH ITS NEIGHBORS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER ROBIN YEAH. THANK YOU. UH, I WANTED TO FOLLOW UP ON THE GENERATOR YARD. CAN YOU TELL ME A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT? I I'M GOING TO ASK OUR ENGINEER TO COME TALK ABOUT THAT. IN NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE. THANK YOU. UH, RUSTY COHEN WITH, UH OLEN ENGINEERING. UH 3537 STILL BOULEVARD? UH, SUITE 300, FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS. UH, 72. 703. UM AGAIN, AS ANGELA STATED THAT THE GENERATOR YARDS THAT YOU SEE THERE, UH, IN IN KIND OF THAT GREEN COLOR. UH, WE'VE TRIED TO POSITION THOSE INTERIOR. TO THE BUILDINGS AGAIN. THEY WOULD BE BLOCKED BY THE UH, TWO STORY BUILDINGS ON EITHER SIDE. UM, AND THOSE GENERATOR YARDS. WILL BE IN ENCLOSED AS WELL. UM FROM A. YOU KNOW, COVERED IN CLOSED, UH, TO ALSO ELIMINATE SOME OF THAT SOUND AS WELL. ARE THEY? ARE THEY FULLY ENCLOSED? OR THEY I MEAN, I BELIEVE THEY WILL BE ENCLOSED. UM. FOR AT LEAST ON THREE SIDES, FOR SURE, BUT I'M I'M PRETTY SURE THEY ARE. WILL BE CLOSED AND DO THESE ONLY RUN AT CERTAIN TIMES. HOW DOES IT GENERATE A YARD WORK WITH RESPECT TO THIS, UM I DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. I'M I'M MORE I'M ON THE CIVIL SIDE. UM AGAIN. I KNOW THEY'RE THERE. I

[00:35:05]

KNOW WE'VE WE'VE GOT SOME EQUIPMENT ON THE ROOF AS WELL, UH, THAT WILL BE SCREENED. UM, THE 12 FT. A SCREEN AROUND THOSE AS WELL SO OK. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER DALTON. YOU KNEW I'D BE COMING IN ON THAT ONE, RIGHT? DO YOU? DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW WHAT THE DECIMAL RATING OF THE GENERATORS ARE? WHEN THEY'RE RUNNING. WE'LL GET IT RIGHT AT SOME POINT. OH, NO, IT IT'S ALWAYS A TEA M EFFORT. UM HI. CHRIS SUMPTER, UM 324 OAK POINT LANE, SOUTH LAKE, TEXAS. UH 76092, SO THE DECIBEL LEVELS FOR I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RATING IS FOR THE GENERATORS SPECIFIC, BUT I DO KNOW AT A PROJECT LEVEL. WE DO HAVE DECIBEL LEVEL STUDIES THAT WE'VE RUN ON ALL OF OUR OTHER CAMPUSES. MY UNDERSTANDING. IS IT A DECIBEL LEVEL? UM AT RUN TIME IS ABOUT 56 B. SO RELATIVELY LOW, UM, AND TO ANSWER THE ORIGINAL QUESTION.

THEY ARE FULLY ENCLOSED UNITS AND THEIR TIER FOUR GENERATORS. SO THEY COME WITH NOISE SUPPRESSORS. SO YOU KNOW, THINK OF CATALYTIC CONVERTER THINGS LIKE THAT. SO UM I HAVE ON OCCASION STOOD NEXT TO GENERATORS THAT WERE RUNNING AND THE ONLY REASON WHY WE KNEW THEY WERE ON IS BECAUSTHE FLAPS WERE WERE GOING ON THE PLUME. SO THEY'RE GONNA BE RELATIVELY QUIET. I THINK THE NOISIEST PORTION OF THE PROJECT WILL BE THE COOLING UNITS WHICH ARE IN THE BACK, BUT THEY ARE, UH, IT'S A CLOSED LOOP DESIGN, AND THEY'RE BASED ON AN WING TECHNOLOGY. SO DECAL LEVELS ARE REALLY LOW. YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR MORE NOISE FROM THE AMBIENT ROADWAY AND THE FREEWAY. THEN YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM THE DATA CENTER. YEAH, FROM WHAT HE JUST SAID ABOUT THE DECIBEL WRITING OF THE GENERATORS AGAINST THE ROAD NOISE. THAT'S A VERY APPROPRIATE, UH, LEVEL AND THOSE GENERATORS WILL RUN DURING LOAD TESTING, WHICH IT RUNS.

OCCASIONALLY THEY'LL ONLY BE RUNNING WHEN THERE IS A TOTAL POWER OUTAGE BECAUSE YOU STILL FEEDING THESE BUILDINGS, I BELIEVE FROM BOTH GARLAND POWER AND LIGHT AND ENCORE, SO THEY'RE BEING DUAL FED. IF ONE'S DOWN THE OTHERS STILL UP, PROBABLY AND THEREFORE THE GENERATOR COMING UP WOULD BE PRETTY RARE. OTHER THAN THE LOAD TESTING THAT WILL OCCUR AT SOME REGULAR INTERVAL AND I DON'T REMEMBER SPECIFICALLY WHAT THE TESTING INTERVAL IS, BUT I DO KNOW THAT THEY HAVE TO RUN FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME EVERY THREE MONTHS. BUT YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT EPA LEVELS THAT WE'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO STAY WITHIN, UM, TO STAY UNDER GETTING FINED BY, YOU KNOW, UM, THAT AGENCY. UM BUT, UH YEAH, THEY THEY GENERALLY ONLY RUN DURING TESTING. AND IF THERE'S A POWER OUTAGE, AND IT'S PRETTY SLIM FROM BECAUSE OF THE FACTOR DOUBLE FED. UH, CORRECT.

WE WOULD EXPECT THAT THEY WILL NOT GO DOWN VERY OFTEN, THE ONLY TIMES THAT THAT WE'VE BEEN ASKED TO RUN GENERATORS. IS WHEN WE'RE DOING LOAD SHAVING OR PEAK SHAVING FOR THE UTILITY. AND IF THERE HAPPENS TO BE 100 AND 10 DEGREE DAY OUT, THE UTILITY MAY ACTUALLY CALL US AND ASK US TO RUN GENS AND THEN DROP LOAD FROM THE GRID. THAT WAY. YOU KNOW IF WE NEED SURPLUS POWER, WE CAN JUST GO AHEAD AND RUN ON THOSE, AND THAT'S ONLY ON REQUEST IF Y'ALL HAD MUCH ON LOAD SHEDDING REQUEST. YOU KNOW, I THINK LAST YEAR DURING SUMMER, WE DID HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF THAT AT OUR OTHER DALLAS FACILITY WHERE WE WERE ASKED TO DO THAT, AND I THINK WE RAN FOR, YOU KNOW, TWO OR THREE DAYS. UM PRIMARILY, IT'S INTERMITTENT. IT'S NOT FOR LONG DURATIONS OF TIME. OK, THANK YOU. MISSION ROSE. I'M JUST CURIOUS AS TO WHAT AREA YOUR FACILITIES ARE GONNA COVER.

I MEAN, IS IT THE IMMEDIATE AREA OR IS IT 10 MILES AWAY, OR I'M JUST CURIOUS. UM BEING THE LANDLORD. WE DON'T ALWAYS KNOW SPECIFICALLY WHAT IT'S GONNA BE COVERING. UM WE DO KNOW WHO THE TENANT IS. WE DO KNOW THAT IT'S A CLOUD APPLICATION THAT'S GONNA BE IN THERE. AND IT IS SPECIFIC TO COVER. UM COMPANIES THAT ARE BASED IN AND AROUND THE DFW MARKET. SO WHERE THEY'RE GONNA BE SERVING, YOU COULD BE ACCESSING THE DATA FROM THIS SITE FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

BUT THE CUSTOMER SPECIFICALLY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE SERVICING ARE BASED HERE IN TEXAS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. COUPLE THINGS. UH, I MADE IT TO THE ONE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS. WE ALL PRESENTED AND EVERYTHING. AND, UH, YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEING DONE IN PHASES, AND YOU HAD A GENERAL TIME LINE. IS THERE ANYTHING ANY UPDATE ON THE PHASING OF THE I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT'S DIFFICULT TO BUILD THREE BUILDINGS AT ONE TIME. I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD BE COMFORTABLE TELLING YOU IS WE'RE GOING TO BUILD ALL THREE BUILDINGS AS FAST AS WE POSSIBLY CAN. THE CURRENT PLAN IS TO BUILD THE FIRST TWO BUILDINGS AT THE SAME TIME, I THINK THEY'LL PROBABLY COME ONLINE ABOUT THREE MONTHS APART. AND THEN AS SOON AS THOSE TWO FRONT BUILDINGS ARE DONE, WE'LL IMMEDIATELY START ON BUILDING THREE. SO UM, I THINK THE ENTIRE CONSTRUCTION TIMELINE IS ABOUT 24 MONTHS START TO FINISH TO BE ABLE TO GET EVERYTHING DONE. WE

[00:40:02]

DON'T WANT TO KEEP CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC GOING UP AND DOWN THAT ROAD, AND THAT'S WHEN IT'LL BE MOST DISRUPTED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WHEN YOU'RE IN THERE, THE OTHER THAN A BIG BUILDING BEING THERE. THEY WON'T EVEN KNOW YOU'RE THERE. AND, UH, PLEASE DO A BETTER JOB THAN ONE UNDER CURRENT CONSTRUCTION TO LOOK AT IS DONE IN KEEPING THE STREETS CLEAN. THE ONE ACROSS THE STREET DID A GREAT JOB, BUT EVERY TIME I GO DOWN AND LOOK AT WITH ANY WATER AND WASH THE CAR, BUT UNDERSTOOD. YEAH. SO FOR THE NEIGHBORS IF THEY'RE WATCHING THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WILL BE DURING CONSTRUCTION. THERE'LL BE TRUCKS GOING BACK AND FORTH, BUT IT'S ALL MANAGED AND UH, IT'S DONE DONE PRETTY WELL. AND THEN IT MAY BE GOOD FOR THE CITY BECAUSE THEN THEY CAN PUT THE ROAD IN AND WON'T BE TORN UP BY THE TRUCK TRAFFIC. THAT IS TRUE. UM HAVE YOU ALL TALKED WITH THE PEOPLE OF THE SPRING CREEK FOREST PRESERVE? MAYBE MEET WITH THEM, MAYBE GET ANY GUIDANCE ABOUT HOW IT WOULD WORK BETTER AND MAYBE SOME THINGS YOU COULD DO OR THEY COULD DO TO HELP YOU.

IT MAY BE WORTH YOUR WHILE TO HUNT HIM DOWN. I CERTAINLY HAVE NOT MYSELF. DO YOU KNOW IF WE DID THAT DURING TREE STUDY? NO OK, I THINK THERE ARE SOME GROUPS THAT WORK WITH THE FOREST PRESERVE, AND IT MAY BE GOOD TO REACH OUT TO HIM. JUST DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING. WE'D BE HAPPY TO. ALL RIGHTY. AND UH, I DID NOTICE YOU HAD 100 AND 80 PARKING SPACES. DO YOU FEEL YOU'RE OVER PARKED? IF YOU ARE, IF YOU ARE BECAUSE YOU GOT ABOUT 100 OVER WHAT THE CITY IS REQUIRING, AND YOU COULD RECLAIM SOME OF THAT CONCRETE PLANTS AND GRASS, SAVE A LITTLE MONEY AND WHEN THE PEOPLE SEE ALL THAT PARK, AND YOU THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF TRAFFIC, SO I THINK YOU KNOW, DO I THINK THERE'S TOO MUCH OR TOO MUCH PARKING ON THE SITE? I DO.

HOWEVER FROM A LEASING PERSPECTIVE, YOU KNOW THE TENANT THAT'S GONNA BE THERE ONCE 100 AND 50 PARKING SPACES FOR THEIRS . UM YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THEY WILL HAVE VENDORS THAT WILL BE THERE DURING THE DAY, AS WELL AS THEIR FULL TIME EMPLOYEES. AND THEN WE'VE ALSO GOT OUR STAFF DO I THINK I'M EVER GONNA SEE THAT PARKING LOT OVER 50? PROBABLY NOT. GOOD ON HONEST ANSWER.

THANK YOU. ALRIGHT I THINK THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT. AND YOU'RE OK WITH THE REDUCTION OF THE USES TO THE DATA CENTER, AND IT'S FROM A CONVERSION PERSPECTIVE. ONCE IT'S A DATA CENTER, WE WOULD HAVE TO COMPLETELY TEAR IT DOWN TO MAKE IT ANOTHER USE. YOU COULDN'T JUST CONVERT IT TO AN OFFICE. OKAY? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS TO THE APPLICANTS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I'LL SEE IF THERE'S ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE, AND IF THERE'S ANY OTHER INPUT, I'LL CALL YOU BACK. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I HAVE NO OTHER SPEAKER CARDS IN THIS CASE IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISHES TO DRESS IT? COME ON DOWN. YEAH. JUST. HOLD ON TO IT. GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND GIVE IT TO YOU. THERE YOU GO. OH, DID YOU NOT WANT TO SPEAK? YEAH, OK, COME ON DOWN. COMPLETELY OUT OF MY ELEMENT. UH, WE'RE ALL FRIENDS DOWN HERE.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. MY NAME IS MARK QUINN. I LIVE AT 2125 JASMINE 75044. I AM AGAINST THE PROJECT BECAUSE I LIVE RIGHT ACROSS HOLFORD OVER ON JASMINE. AND UM, IT WAS BEAUTIFUL, BUILDING WONDERFUL THING, BUT IT'S NOT JUST ONE BUILDING I'VE LEARNED. NOW IT'S THREE. AND, UM . MY CONCERN IS THAT WE'RE MOVING SOME INDUSTRIAL AREA INTO A RESIDENTIAL AREA. THAT'S MY BIGGEST CONCERN. UH, OTHER THAN I'M SORRY. THIS IS GONNA SOUND CRASS, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A MONSTROSITY. AND UM, TO GET FROM POINT A TO POINT B TO HAVE IT ALL BUILT. UM I'M YES, I'M CONCERNED. LIKE EVERY OTHER RESIDENT WHO MIGHT NOT EVEN BE HERE TONIGHT. FOR WHATEVER REASON. BUT NONETHELESS, UH, JUST WRAPPING UP UH, I JUST WANTED TO COME AND SAY I'M AGAINST IT FOR THESE VERY REASONS. I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY OF GARLAND. AND LOCALLY, UH BUT STILL IT'S IN MY BACKYARD. AND. FROM THE ELEVATION VIEWS. IT LOOKS TO BE LIKE ABOUT 100 FT. TALL I HAVE. I DON'T KNOW. I DIDN'T ASK, BUT, UM 100 100 AND 20 FT. TALL. THAT'S NOT GONNA BE HIDDEN WITH TREES. THAT'S JUST NOT GOOD. IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

SO I APPRECIATE YOU HEARING ME, UH, HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. COMMISSIONER ROSA HAS A QUESTION, OR, UH. THIS IS GONNA TAKE A COUPLE OF YEARS TO BUILD, THEY SAY. WHEN HARFORD ROAD GETS . RECONSTRUCTED THE FOUR LANES. FROM BUSH TO ARAPAHO. THAT'S CERTAINLY GOING TO AFFECT YOU AND GET IT TIGHTER TO YOUR, UH, YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT? WELL, I DON'T

[00:45:08]

KNOW, BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST I'VE HEARD OF IT. SO LIKE I SAID, I, UH I'M UH, YOU KNOW.

HAVE, UM A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE ON THIS, UH, I I'M JUST FINDING OUT ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THE LETTER I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL. AND I APPRECIATE THAT IF I DIDN'T RECEIVE THAT I WOULD KNOW NOTHING OF IT. EARNING ABOUT JUST THIS BUILDING. WHAT ABOUT, UH, HARFORD ROAD BEING RECONSTRUCTED, REBUILT? NOT REALLY PART OF THE CASE. I KNOW IT, BUT IT BUT IT IT AFFECTS HIS ATTITUDE AND APPROACH AND FEELINGS WELL, BUT THAT THAT WILL BE A TEMPORARY THING.

THAT'S A FIX. THAT'S A ROAD THAT'S NOT A BIG INDUSTRIAL BUILDING, LOOKING AT MY BACK WINDOW. YEAH, SO THERE I KNOW THERE ARE PLENTY OF INDUSTRIAL AREAS IN THE CITY. AND UM, I'M JUST I'M NOT SURE WHY I'M WHY THE DEVELOPER COULDN'T LOOK AT SOME OF THESE OTHER ONES. WELL FROM, UH, YOU KNOW, THIS WILL BE THE FOURTH DATA CENTER WITHIN WITHIN A MILE OF EACH OTHER JUST ABOUT AND THERE ARE REASONS FOR THAT, AND THE ACCESS TO TWO GRID SYSTEMS, THE ENCORE AND THE GIRL POWER AND LIGHT AND THAT IS CRITICAL TO HAVE THE BACKUP POWER SOURCES. IN ADDITION TO THE GENERATORS, WHICH RUN ONLY WHEN THEY HAVE TO SO THAT THAT'S WHY IT'S KIND OF CONGREGATED AROUND HERE BECAUSE I HAD THE SAME QUESTIONS YEARS AGO. IN I LIVE UP THERE BY THE OTHER TWO.

WELL, THERE'S A THIRD ONE UNDER CONSTRUCTION. THIS WOULD BE THE FOURTH GET USED TO IT. AFTER I STARTED DRIVING BACK AND FORTH. ONE OF THEM IS KIND OF UGLY, BUT THE OTHERS REALLY NICE LOOKING I WON'T SAY WHICH ONES WHICH, OK, I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENT YOU YOU'RE YOU'RE WELCOME. IT'S CHANGE IS TOUGH. IT ALWAYS IS. AND THAT'S THE ONLY CONSTANT IN LIFE IS CHANGE. YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT AND I'M STILL AGAINST IT. YOU KNOW, WE HEAR YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO CARE TO SPEAK TO THIS CASE? I DON'T KNOW IF THE APPLICANT WOULD LIKE TO ABUT OR JUST LET US GO OR I THINK WE'RE GOOD TO GO. ALRIGHTY COMMISSIONERS. COMMISSIONER JENKINS MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE AS PRESENTED WITH THE ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATION THAT THE UNDERLYING, UH ZONING CHANGE WHICH IS ZONED TO CO, UH IS ONLY PERMITTED FOR THIS SPECIFIC USE OR OTHER USES WOULD REQUIRE, AND THAT WOULD BE THE DATA CENTER USE AND THE SUBSTATION. USE. YES, THAT'S CORRECT. OK, A MOTION BY, UH YEAH, COMMISSIONER JENKINS AND I DID. I HEAR A SECOND FROM WELL, I HAD TWO PEOPLE PUNCH IN FOR A SECOND.

THE FIRST ONE IS COMMISSIONER AIN YOU WANT TO MAKE A SECOND OR NO. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ON THE OK, UH, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER DALTON AND WE ARE IN DISCUSSION WITH COMMISSIONER ALBIN AND COMMISSIONER PARIS. THANK YOU, UH, MR CHAIR. UM. IS GOOD AS THIS FACILITY MIGHT BE IN TERMS OF ITS DESIGN, AND AS GOOD AS IT MAY BE FOR THE CITY IN TERMS OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. I MEAN, THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. THESE FACILITIES FROM, UH, FROM AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STANDPOINT OR VERY GOOD FOR THE CITY. THEY GENERATE A LOT OF TAX REVENUE.

UH, PARTICULARLY IF THERE'S ALSO FINANCIAL INCENTIVES AND OTHER THINGS WHERE THE SALES OF EQUIPMENT AND OTHER STUFF OCCUR WITHIN THE CITY. UM BUT WE ARE STRICTLY A LAND USE BODY AND FROM A LAND USE PERSPECTIVE. I. I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY SUPPORTING THIS. IT IS SURROUNDED BY RESIDENTIAL UH, IT IS NOT JUST ACROSS THE STREET. IT IS NEXT DOOR. IT IS TO THE SOUTHEAST. IT IS TO THE EAST. IT IS TO THE NORTHEAST. THERE'S A FOREST A VERY, VERY VALUABLE.

NATIVE FOREST BOTTOM PRESERVED TO THE NORTHEAST. UH, THERE IS SOME THAT THE FIRE STATION IS ACTUALLY MOVING. UM THE OTHER FACILITY. THAT'S THERE IS, UH, THAT IT'S BASICALLY A LANDSCAPING TYPE THING. I MEAN, IT'S NOT IT IS JUST NOT HEAVY. IT IS NOT INTENSE AT ALL. AND I JUST I HAVE TROUBLE I REALLY HAVE TROUBLE PUTTING EVEN IF EVEN THOUGH IT IS, ADMITTEDLY, IT IS LOW DENSITY. IT IS LOW TRAFFIC. THESE ARE THE KINDS OF THESE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT YOU REALLY DO WANT IN YOUR CITY. THEY DON'T YOU KNOW, THEY BUY A LOT OF ELECTRICITY. THEY DON'T REQUIRE A LOT OF POLICE OR FIRE SERVICE OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE. I RECOGNIZE THAT, BUT I JUST CANNOT GET PAST THE FACT THAT WE'RE PUTTING INDUSTRIAL UH , IN IT, AND IT IS INDUSTRIAL.

WE'RE PUTTING INDUSTRIAL HEAVY COMMERCIAL INTO AN AREA THAT'S FUNDAMENTALLY RESIDENTIAL. UM

[00:50:04]

AND FOR, UH, AN AREA THAT HAS BEEN ZONED AGRICULTURE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. IF IT HADN'T BEEN ZONED AG, YOU KNOW WHEN I FIRST GOT ON THE CITY C COUNCIL, UM RIGHT BY THE TOWN GATE. A APARTMENT. UH UH, UH, DISTRIBUTION FACILITY CAME IN THE AD GAZI FACILITY THAT WAS LARGE. UH DISTRIBUTION FACILITY BUT THAT HAD BEEN ZONED INDUSTRIAL FOR SOMETHING ON THE ORDER OF 25 YEARS. AND SO THERE'S NO KIND OF YOU KNOW IT IT, YOU KNOW, RIGHT ON A BORDER THAT IS VERY MUCH INDUSTRIAL RIGHT NEXT TO THE DAISY PLANT TO THE MAE PLANT TO EVERYTHING. AND SO I THINK THAT'S YOU KNOW, I SEE THAT AS A VERY DIFFERENT CASE THAN SOMETHING LIKE THIS, AND SO FOR THAT REASON, UM, COMMISSIONERS, I'M I'M INCLINED TO, UH TO OPPOSE THIS APPLICATION. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER JENKINS. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. UM I, UM AM IN SUPPORT OF THIS PARTICULAR, UH, DEVELOPMENT FOR, UH, A NUMBER OF REASONS AND I'LL BEGIN HERE. THE CITY OF, UH RICHARDSON HAS DONE REALLY WELL, UH ALONG TELECOMMUNICATION TELECOMMUNICATIONS PARKWAY. EXCUSE ME, A NUMBER OF, UM INDUSTRIAL, UH, TYPE COMPLEXES OR BUILDINGS THAT ARE, UH, SURROUNDED BY RESIDENTIAL AREAS, AND, UH, I BELIEVE THAT THE MODEL AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY CONSIDERED, UH, WAS THAT THOSE? UH UM EMPLOYEES OF THOSE INDUSTRIAL USES WOULD BE IN THE COMMUNITY IN THE AGRI IN THE RESIDENTIAL AREA AND THE PRESENCE OF THOSE, UM, LARGE INDUSTRIAL, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT GONNA TOUCH YOU WITH A COMMERCIAL, UH, HE USES, UH, ENCOURAGED, UM, A CERTAIN KIND OF LOOK AND FEEL TO A NEIGHBORHOOD LONG TERM. I THINK IT CAN WORK. WELL UH, AGAIN. THE BUILDING IS NOT, UH, SOME GESTAPO SORT OF CREATION. UH, IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS THOUGHTFULLY, UH, CONSTRUCTED IN AND ARTICULATED AND DESIGNED, UH AND THEY IT'S IT SEEMS, OR IT APPEARS AS IF THE DEVELOPER IS OR THE APPLICANT EXCUSE ME IS WILLING TO. UM UH, TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE IDEA OF THE SURROUNDING AREA THAT BEING IN THE NATURE RESERVE AND THE RESIDENTIAL AND MAKE ENHANCEMENTS TO FURTHER IMPROVE THE PROPERTY AND THE YEAH, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT, UH, I BELIEVE , UH UH, AS WE DISCUSSED AUTO SALES OR AUTO REPAIR IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE BY RIGHT IN THE CEO AREA THAT WE'RE WE'RE NOT TALKING, UH, SOMETHING LIKE THAT WE WE'RE TALKING SOMETHING VERY MODERN AND SOMETHING THAT IS VERY, UH, UM, IMPORTANT TO THE WELL BEING OF THE CITY. SO THAT'S THE SECOND, UH, THIS THIS TYPE OF, UH, USE, UH, AS YOU'VE INDICATED, UH, COMMISSIONER AUBURN IS INCREDIBLY, , IMPACTFUL ON THE CITY'S ECONOMIC WELL BEING. UM AND IF WE'RE THINKING ABOUT THE BEST USE OF LAND, UH, LONG TERM, UH, THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT COULD EITHER A ENHANCE THE UNDERLYING TAX BASE AND PERMIT SERVICES TO THOSE AREAS TO CONTINUE TO REALLY GROW AND BE PROFOUND OR BE ENCOURAGED FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THAT AREA AT SOME LATER POINT IN TIME, THERE'S A LOT OF MULTIFAMILY. THERE'S AN OLDER, UH, SENIOR ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY THERE. WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS. I CERTAINLY CAN'T TELL WHAT I'LL HAVE FOR LUNCH TOMORROW. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S 23. I BELIEVE THAT THE, UH, THE IDEA OF THE INDUSTRIAL RESIDENTIAL MIX, UH, WHILE IN INCREDIBLY CONTENTIOUS CAUSES INDUSTRIAL USES TO BE MINDFUL THAT THEY HAVE TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS. UM I MYSELF LIVE, UH, VERY CLOSE TO A WATER TREATMENT FACILITY TO A LANDFILL AND TO WHO KNOWS WHAT IS BEING PUT ON THE PLAT THAT WE JUST ALL APPROVED THIS EVENING. UM, I, I THINK THAT IF YOU HAVE A MIX AND ZONING. IT ENCOURAGES EVERYONE TO REMEMBER THAT WE LIVE IN A COMMUNITY AND THAT WE ARE, UM UM HOLDING HANDS IN IN THIS WHOLE THING TOGETHER. UH, SO FOR THOSE THREE REASONS, I'M GONNA BE, UH, IN FAVOR OF THIS PARTICULAR ITEM, AND I THINK EVERYONE FOR LETTING ME TALK THIS LONG. THANK YOU. YOU. THREE MINUTES ARE UP. COM COMMISSIONER ROSEN UH, THANK YOU, SIR. UH, MY CONCERN FOR THE FOLKS THAT LIVE OUT THERE UH, IS THAT IF THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN? AND A AN APARTMENT COMPLEX DECIDES TO GO IN THERE OR A TOWNHOUSE. UH DEVELOPMENT DECIDES TO GO IN THERE. YOUR TRAFFIC WILL BE MISERABLE. WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT THERE, THE TRAFFIC IS GONNA BE VERY, VERY LIGHT. YOU NEED TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. ANY OTHER COMMENTS. YEAH. LIKE COMMISSIONER AL AND I, TOO, ORIGINALLY WANTED RESIDENTIAL IN THERE. THAT'S WHAT IT ORIGINALLY SLATED FOR, BUT A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY. THIS USED TO BE A BIG OLD HALL ON THE GROUND. IT WAS A GRAVEL PIT. AND IT WAS FILLED IN

[00:55:02]

AND THE OWNER COULDN'T GET A SINGLE FAMILY HOME BUILDERS IN THERE FOR STRUCTURAL REASONS.

UM, I'M AN ARCHITECT. I'VE DESIGNED HOMES AND I'VE HAD MORE. ONE JOB FALL THROUGH BECAUSE SOIL ANALYSIS SAID IT WAS GONNA COST $70,000 FOR A FOUNDATION. SO THEY'VE BEEN LOOKING AT ALTERNATIVES. ONE OF THEM WAS AN OFFICE WAREHOUSE USE WHICH WE SHOT DOWN RIGHT AWAY, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPACTFUL FOREVER. TRAFFIC WISE AND NOISE WISE TO THE FOLKS ACROSS THE STREET. SO WE SHOT THAT ONE DOWN AND THIS LOOKS LIKE YOU KNOW, THERE'S GONNA BE 24 MONTHS, PROBABLY PROBABLY SOME KIND OF LITTLE HELL THERE TRAFFICKING AND OUT AND NOISE AND STUFF. BUT AFTER THAT, THEY SHOULD BE GOOD NEIGHBORS, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HOPING WE'LL BE HERE. WE'RE READY. YOU KNOW MORE DISCUSSION. THE MOTION IS TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION WITH THE PROVISION THAT THE USES BE LIMITED TO THE DATA CENTER AND THE SUBSTATIONS. AND COMMISSIONER PARIS. I DON'T THINK YOUR VOTE TOOK THERE WE GO. THANK YOU. THAT PASSES 5 TO 3 WITH COMMISSIONERS CORNELIUS AUBIN AND ABEL, UH IN OPPOSITION. THANK YOU. THIS WILL MOVE ON TO THE CITY COUNCIL AT A FUTURE DATE. DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THAT'LL BE, BUT UH, WE ARE RECOMMENDING BODY, THEY WILL

LONE STAR. CADILLAC HAS BEEN IN THIS PROPERTY FOR, UH, ABOUT 20 YEARS. UM, THEY, UM THEY'RE ACTUALLY GONNA BE UM, LEAVING THE BUILDING VERY SOON. UM TOWARDS THE END OF DECEMBER, 2024 SHORTLY THEREAFTER, UM, AND SO WE'RE LOOKING TO RETEN IT THE SPACE, UM UM, AND THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS APPROVED BACK IN 2001 BASICALLY ALLOWS NEW AUTOMOBILE SALES ONLY.
