          [a. September 8, 2025 Plan Commission Minutes]
RIGHT. WE'RE STARTING OUR AGENDA TONIGHT WITH ITEM ONE A CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES FOR THE SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2025 MEETING. AND COMMISSIONER PARIS, I RECKON I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE MINUTES FROM SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2025. SECOND COMMISSIONER DUCKWORTH CHIMED IN FOR WRONG BUTTON. OKAY. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER PARIS, AND I BELIEVE I HEARD A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER DALTON. DID I? OKAY. COMMISSIONER JENKINS, WHO THOUGHT IT'D BE SO HARD JUST TO PASS THE MINUTES? WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. AND COMMISSIONER JENKINS WAS A SECOND. TO DO IT. POP UP ON THE SCREEN HERE. OKAY, WE'RE HAVING A VOTING ISSUE. LET'S GO AHEAD AND DO THIS ONE BY A SHOW OF HANDS.

          [a. Z 25-29 Hunter Mcquire (District 1)]
NEXT ITEM IN OUR CASE, PUBLIC HEARING ITEM, ZONING CASE ITEM. ZONING CASE Z 25 DASH 29. HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE APPLICATION OF HUNTER MCGUIRE REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A PLAN DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT TO ALLOW A TATTOO BODY PIERCING ESTABLISHMENT USED BY RIGHT. 
          THE SITE IS LOCATED AS CURRENTLY ZONED PLAN DEVELOPMENT PD 21 DASH 19 FOR MIXED USES. SITE IS LOCATED AT 315 CONEFLOWER DRIVE. UNIT A03. GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR A PLAN DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT TO ALLOW A TATTOOING BODY PIERCING ESTABLISHMENT ON THE PROPERTY. ZONED PD 21 DASH 19 FOR MIXED USES. THE ADDRESS IS 315 CONEFLOWER DRIVE AND THEY ARE WANTING TO OCCUPY A SUITE IN THE OLD TOWN CENTER, AND THAT'S ABOUT 991FT■S IN SIZ. THIS IS A LOCATION MAP SHOWING THE ENTIRE MALL. IT IS AN OUTDOOR SHOPPING CENTER. THIS IS THE AERIAL. IT'S RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE RAZZOO'S. THIS IS THE AERIAL. IT'S RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE RAZZOO'S. AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IDENTIFIES THIS AREA AS REGIONAL CENTERS. REGIONAL CENTERS ARE AREAS WITH A HIGHER CONCENTRATION OF ACTIVITY THAT SERVE AS A DESTINATION FOR RESIDENTS AND VISITORS. USES WITHIN THIS DEVELOPMENT TYPE PROVIDE A MIX OF RETAIL SERVICES, ENTERTAINMENT AND AND 
          [00:05:06]
EMPLOYMENT, AND MAY INCLUDE RESIDENTIAL AREAS. THESE ARE PHOTOS OF THE SITE. SO THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO APPROACH THE REQUEST. IT COULD BE VIA A PLAN DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT, WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE USE TO BE PERMITTED OUTRIGHT OR VIA A SPECIFIC USE PROVISION, WHICH WOULD THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED FOR TEN YEARS. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT WITH THE SWOOP, IT GIVES THE CITY MORE CONTROL OR POWER TO ENFORCE THE TEN YEAR LIMITATION. THE RECOMMENDATION FOR A TATTOO AND BODY PIERCING ESTABLISHMENT IS 5 TO 10 YEARS. AS STAFF DOES SEEK THE COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION ON THIS ONE. A COUPLE OF REASONS ARE BECAUSE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOES ENCOURAGE USES THAT WILL ENCOURAGE PLACEMAKING AND DESTINATION AREAS THIS USE. IT MAY NOT BE PERCEIVED AS A HIGH QUALITY SERVICE AREA IN COMPARISON TO THE OTHER SURROUNDING AREAS, WHICH HAVE CAFES, RESTAURANTS AND GYMS. ALTHOUGH THE USE DOES MEET ALL OF THE DISTANCE SEPARATION REQUIREMENTS FOR 500FT FOR CERTAIN SENSITIVE USES SUCH AS CHURCHES, OTHER TATTOO FACILITIES, PUBLIC PARKS AND HOSPITALS. WE DID SEND OUT 316 LETTERS, AND WE DID RECEIVE ONE LETTER IN SUPPORT AND THEN ONE LETTER IN OPPOSITION, WITH NOTHING WRITTEN ON THE LETTERS. 
          I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT IS HERE AS WELL. ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF? COMMISSIONER DALTON? AND LET ME THANK YOU. THE EXCUSE ME, I BELIEVE I READ IN THE REPORT THAT THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY OF OTHER TATTOO PARLORS WITHIN THAT RANGE, AND CODE ENFORCEMENT WAS GOING TO CHECK. 
          YES, WE DID FIND ONE THAT WAS OPERATING IN. IT'S ALSO IN FIREWHEEL TOWN CENTER. IT'S NOT WITHIN 500FT, BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. SO THEY WILL BE NOTIFIED THAT THEY HAVE TO COME IN AND GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. THEY'RE OPERATING WITHOUT A CODE. 
          CORRECT. SO CODE WILL DEAL WITH THAT. YES. OKAY. IF WE WERE TO APPROVE THE CHANGE OF ZONING BY RIGHT, WOULD THAT AFFECT ANY OTHER LOCATIONS IN GARLAND OR JUST THE FIREWHEEL TOWN CENTER? ONLY THIS ONE IS NOT WITHIN 500FT OF ANY OTHER TATTOO SHOPS. NO, NO. IF WE WERE TO APPROVE A BY RIGHT, GIVE THEM BY RIGHT. NOT A NOT A SUP. WOULD THAT AFFECT ANY OTHER LOCATIONS WITHIN THE CITY OF GARLAND? IT WOULD ONLY AFFECT. THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER JENKINS. COME ON. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. GOOD EVENING. MA'AM. MY QUESTION IS SIMILAR TO COMMISSIONER DALTON'S. IS THIS REQUEST FOR THE SPECIFIC UNIT OR FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE PD? SO AN AMENDMENT TO THE PD WOULD BE THAT ANYWHERE IN THE TOWN CENTER WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO. ENTER INTO BUSINESS WITH ANOTHER LOCATION. SO IF THE PD IS AMENDED TO ALLOW THIS USE BY RIGHT, THERE COULD BE THAT SPECULATION THAT THE ENTIRE PD IS BEING AMENDED. BUT THE CONCEPT PLAN AND THE CONDITIONS ARE ATTACHED WITH THE PD, WHICH IDENTIFIES THE UNITS THERE. SO IT KIND OF BECOMES AN INTERPRETATION ISSUE FOR THE FUTURE, WHICH IS WHY WE ALSO WANTED TO PRESENT TO YOU THE SUP OPTION THAT IS EASIER FOR US TO TRACK AND ENFORCE. AND YOU'VE JUST POINTED OUT IN TERMS OF RESOURCE ALLOCATION, IT MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT SIMPLER TO CONSIDER THE SUP APPROACH AS OPPOSED TO THE PD. 
          I UNDERSTAND THAT, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THIS IS KIND OF A HALF QUESTION HALF STATEMENT BECAUSE I THINK I KNOW THE ANSWER. SO I THINK COMMISSIONER DALTON AND I ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT HAVE BEEN HERE FROM WHEN THE FIRST TATTOO PARLOR WAS APPROVED IN THE CITY DOWN IN JUPITER, IF I RECALL. AND THEY'VE ALL BEEN BY AN SUP. YOU DON'T KNOW OF ANY OTHER TATTOO PARLORS BY RIGHT? DO YOU KNOW? OKAY. YEAH. SO WE PROBABLY HAVE TO STAY WITH THAT. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU. SEE, I'VE GOT THE APPLICANT HERE, MATTHEW. AND I WAS GOING TO TRY TO PRONOUNCE YOUR LAST NAME, BUT I'M HAVING A LITTLE TROUBLE READING THE WRITING, AND I'M CERTAIN I'VE GOT A MASTER'S IN GETTING IT WRONG. I CAN SAY. WHAT? SOMETHING LIKE THAT. COME 
          [00:10:02]
ON DOWN AND NAME AN ADDRESS, PLEASE. MY NAME IS MATTHEW LITKE AND I LIVE AT 3801 JENNIFER LANE IN ROWLETT, TEXAS. WE JUST MOVED IN YESTERDAY. ACTUALLY, THIS IS MY WIFE. 
          SHE'S THE TATTOO ARTIST, CATHERINE. I GUESS. DO I GIVE A PRESENTATION I IF YOU HAVE ONE? IF NOT, IS IT? WE'LL JUST ASK QUESTIONS IF WE HAVE ANY. UP TO YOU. I'LL SEE IF I CAN FIGURE THIS OUT. OKAY. YOU BROUGHT A COMPUTER GENIUS, RIGHT? RIGHT TO IT. I'M. I'M HELPING HER WITH THE BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION SIDE. I'M A VP OF OPERATIONS AT STANDARD SIGHT UTILITIES IN GARLAND. DIDN'T REALIZE THAT I NEEDED TO PUT TOGETHER A PRESENTATION. I DID IT LAST MINUTE, SO. I'M JUST GOING TO READ A BARONESS TATTOO. IT WAS GILDED SKIN, BUT WE FILED A DBA FOR BARONESS TATTOO. WE ALREADY HAVE A A WEBSITE BECAUSE SHE'S PRACTICING HER ART AT INK SIRENS IN ROWLETT. SO SHE SHE'S LIKE A 1099. THEY PAY BOOTH RENT. SO I ENDED UP BUILDING HER A WEBSITE TO HELP WITH MARKETING. SO WE'RE TRYING TO START HER OWN TO AVOID ALL THE BOOTH RENT STUFF. BUT AT BARONESS TATTOO, WE ARE A MULTIFACETED ART SPACE THAT SPECIALIZES IN BODY ART, FINE ART, AND THE CELEBRATION OF RENAISSANCE INSPIRED CRAFTSMANSHIP. SO OUR IDEA IS, IS TO PROVIDE MORE OF LIKE A ART GALLERY AND A MORE OF A LUXURIOUS EXPERIENCE AND TRY TO AVOID KIND OF THE STIGMA THAT'S ASSOCIED WITH TATTOO PARLORS, UNFORTUNATELY. SO IN ADDITION TO TATTOOING, WE'RE GOING TO OFFER SERVICES THAT REFLECT OUR COMMITMENT TO ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE. SHE HAS A BA IN FINE ART AND THEN A BA IN ANIMATION. AND THAT RIGHT COMMISSION OKAY, SO SHE'S CLASSICALLY TRAINED ARTISTS IN AT A WHAT WAS THE ART SCHOOL IN BALTIMORE. THAT ONE YOU CAN COME UP TO IF YOU WANT. SURE. 
          AND JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE. CATHERINE. AND WE'RE AT 3801 JUNIPER LANE. BUT WE ALSO WANT TO SELL, YOU KNOW, HANDCRAFTED JEWELRY AND AND DO MOCKTAILS AND KIND OF MAKE IT MORE OF AN IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE RATHER THAN JUST LIKE YOUR RUN OF THE MILL TATTOO ART STUDIO. 
          HERE'S ONE OF HER PIECES. BUT YEAH, HERE'S I JUST LISTED SOME OF THE STIGMA THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE KIND OF FINDING OUT AS SHE'S IN HER CAREER AND JUST FROM, YOU KNOW, SOCIETY, IT'S KIND OF TIED TO REBELLION, ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR. UNFORTUNATELY, SHE'S EXPERIENCED SOME UNPROFESSIONALISM WITH PREVIOUS EMPLOYERS. FOCUS ON FLASH TATTOOS. SO IT'S THOSE ARE LIKE STICKER TATTOOS. IT'S NOT REALLY LIKE CUSTOM ART PIECES OR ONE OF A KIND. IT CAN BE PAINFUL IN A GRITTY ENVIRONMENT. WE'VE EXPERIENCED THAT AS WELL. 
          AND THEN UNSANITARY AND UNSAFE PRACTICES. UNFORTUNATELY, SHE'S HAD SOME COWORKERS THAT HAVE CAUSED SCARRING OR INFECTIONS, BUT THIS IS KIND OF THIS IS ONE OF THE PICTURES ON OUR WEBSITE. 
          AND THIS IS KIND OF, I GUESS, A THEME THAT WE'RE GOING FOR A FRENCH ROCOCO STYLE. IT'S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HER KIND OF COVERED THAT, BUT HERE'S SOME OF THE CONCEPT ART THAT SHE PUT TOGETHER. WHAT HE FAILS TO MENTION IS THAT HE OUTSOURCED LIKE TONS OF VINTAGE FURNITURE FROM LIKE, EUROPE. SO WE HAVE LIKE THOSE ACTUAL CHANDELIERS IN THAT FIRST PICTURE. OH YEAH. 
          THOSE ARE FROM LIKE EGYPT. AND WE HAVE LIKE PINK. IF YOU'VE SEEN BRIDGERTON, THE SERIES LIKE THE SITTING ROOM FURNITURE, HE'S GOT THAT EXACT LIKE PINK SET. AND THEN I WANT TO PUT ACTUAL LIKE PAINTINGS UP ON THE WALL, LIKE CLASSICAL STUFF THAT I MAKE. SO I WANTED TO BE VERY 
          [00:15:05]
LUXURY, LIKE WHEN YOU COME IN SO THAT, YOU KNOW, LIKE, OH, THIS ISN'T LIKE A STANDARD JOB AND MORE OF A ART GALLERY TYPE OF FEEL. SO SHE CAN ACTUALLY SELL SOME OF HER ARTWORK AND GET SOME ROI ON THOSE DEGREES THERE. SO THIS WAS THE LOCATION. I GOT THE ADDRESS WRONG. 
          APPARENTLY IT'S 315 CONEFLOWER, BUT THAT'S THAT'S THE LOCATION THAT WAS COVERED EARLIER ACROSS FROM RAZZOO'S. RIGHT IN BETWEEN THOSE TWO SWEET PLACES, THE SWEET PEARLS AND THE THE BUBBLE TEA. YEAH, JUST HERE'S SOME OF THE TRENDS FOR THE TATTOO MARKET. THE COMPOUND ANNUAL GROWTH IS ABOUT 9.7% YEAR OVER YEAR, AND IT'S ESSENTIALLY DOUBLED, I THINK, SINCE 2007. 
          AND I THINK IT'S ON TRACK IN NORTH AMERICA. THEY WANT 8.8% BY 2031. SO IT WOULD BE PRETTY PRETTY SIGNIFICANT. ALMOST 4.5 BILLION WORLDWIDE. SOME OF THE DEMOGRAPHICS, 32% OF AMERICANS HAVE AT LEAST ONE TATTOO. AND THEY NEED TOUCH UPS AND AND COVER UPS. SO YEAH. SO I THINK THE OVERALL STIGMA IS KIND OF, I GUESS MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE BECOMING ACCEPTED FOR IT, ESPECIALLY LIKE THE MILLENNIALS HAS. WE'RE GETTING OLDER, I GUESS. SO WE'LL WE'LL HIRE MORE PEOPLE WITH TATTOOS, THAT TYPE OF THING. A LOT OF THEM ARE WOMEN HAVE AT LEAST ONE TATTOO COMPARED TO 27% OF MEN. I'M NOT SURE IF ANY OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC BREAKDOWN REALLY MATTERS IN THIS MEETING OR NOT. HERE'S SOME OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS. JUST JOB CREATION. WE PLAN ON HIRING AT LEAST EIGHT ARTISTS OVER TIME AT A STANDARD. TAX REVENUE ON, YOU KNOW, LICENSES AND SALES TAX, PROPERTY TAX, THAT, THAT TYPE OF THING. THE TOURISM AND CULTURE IS WHAT WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO FOCUS ON HERE. SHE WANTS TO BE MORE OF A LIKE A DESTINATION STUDIO. 
          SHE'S ALREADY HAD. CLIENTS FROM WASHINGTON, NEW YORK. I WANT TO SAY HAWAII OR WAS THAT THE SAME? NO. THEY WENT TO SOUTH AMERICA. YES. YEAH. OKAY. SHE COULD PROBABLY BETTER EXPLAIN THAT THAN I CAN. I HAVE PEOPLE LIKE, FIND ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND FLY HERE SPECIFICALLY JUST TO GET TATTOOED BY ME. SO IT WOULD IT WOULD BRING LIKE, ABSOLUTELY. AND IT'S NOT LIKE SMALL PIECES. 
          IT'S QUITE LARGE, SUBSTANTIAL PIECES THAT THE PEOPLE LIKE FLY IN FOR, LIKE INVOLVING ABOUT 4 TO 6 SESSIONS FOR THESE LARGE PIECE TATTOOS LIKE FULL SIZE. AND THEY EXPRESSED LIKE WANTING TO COME BACK AND ALSO TELLING THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY ABOUT ME. SO YEAH, SO EACH ONE OF THOSE PIECES, I THINK. WHO. ERIC. IS ABOUT IS ABOUT $5,000 ON ON A TATTOO. SO JUST TO GIVE YOU A. A REFERENCE THERE. HEALTH AND SAFETY STANDARDS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. DALLAS COUNTY IS GOING TO BE INSPECTING US. AND I THINK CITY OF GARLAND AS WELL. RIGHT. 
          DO ANNUAL AUDITS. SO JUST IN CONCLUSION, WE FEEL LIKE WE'D ADD A LITTLE BIT OF CULTURE AND BRING IN BUSINESS, GENERATE SOME TAX REVENUE. SO THANK YOU. YEAH THAT'S I GUESS THAT'S IN CONCLUSION. BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME GARLAND. YEAH I THINK COMMISSIONER JENKINS WOULD LIKE TO. COME ON. HERE WE GO. THANK YOU, MR. CHAHAIR. GOOD EVENING GUYS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING DOWN AND FOR THIS REQUEST. I ESPECIALLY WANT TO APPLAUD THE CONCEPT. I UNDERSTAND I'M KIND OF GETTING A SENSE RATHER THAT THIS IS A BRAND NEW IDEA, NOT SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN INCORPORATED OR WORKED ON, AT LEAST IN THAT AREA. AND IT'S NEW FOR YOU ALL AS WELL. IS THIS THE FIRST BRICK AND MORTAR RETAIL BUSINESS THAT YOU ALL HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO RUN, OR DO YOU HAVE PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH THAT? YES, FOR ME, SHE WHEN SHE WAS IN ART SCHOOL, I BELIEVE WE TAUGHT LIKE PAINTING WITH A TWIST. AND I TAUGHT THE PAINTING CLASSES. YEAH. AND I RAN MY OWN BUSINESS IN WEST VIRGINIA BECAUSE I LIVED IN DC 
          [00:20:01]
WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL, MY SECOND DEGREE, AND THEN WENT BACK HOME TO WEST VIRGINIA FOR A WHILE AND HAD MY OWN ENTREPRENEUR PAINTING WITH A TWIST KIND OF THING FOR A WHILE. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S JUST BEEN 1099 EMPLOYEE WHERE I HAVE LIKE A BOOTH, LIKE A SALON KIND OF THING, AND I PAY BOOTH RENT AND THEN I RUN MY OWN BUSINESS UNDER THEM. SO. OKAY. AND HOW HOW CLOSE ARE YOU ALL? SO LET'S SA WE AND THEREAFTER CITY COUNCIL GO. YAY! LET'S MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS. HOW CLOSE ARE YOU ALL TO BRINGING THE CONCEPT TO LIFE? CONTRACT AND TENANT SPACE ALREADY AGREED A LEASE. WE'RE JUST WAITING ON THE SUV TO START. IT WOULD BE LIKE NOT EVEN WEEKS BEFORE I WOULD OPEN AND TAKE CLIENTS, AND THEN I WOULD JUST GRADUALLY WORK AND ADD TO THE STUDIO AS I GO. OKAY, HOURS OF OPERATION HAVE ALREADY BEEN DETERMINED. 
          I'D LIKE TO WORK DURING THE DAYTIME SO I CAN SEE MY HUSBAND IN THE EVENINGS. I DON'T LIKE STAYING OUT TOO TOO LATE AND THAT BRINGS IN LIKE A KIND OF EXCUSE MY LANGUAGE, BUT RAUNCHY LIKE CROWD. I DON'T LIKE THE BAR SCENE COMING INTO THE TATTOO STUDIO AND WANTING TO GET TATTOOS WHILE INTOXICATED. ALSO ILLEGAL, BUT SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T LIKE STOP PEOPLE FROM SIGNING DOCUMENTS AND SAYING I'M NOT INTOXICATED. IT'S JUST WHAT SHE'S EXPERIENCING. WE'RE LIKE, RIGHT NEXT TO A BAR. YEAH. SO I WOULD PREFER LIKE 9 A.M. WHEN THE SHOPS OPEN AT FIREWHEEL TO LIKE PREDOMINANTLY UNTIL LIKE MAYBE TEN 1009. SO TEN AT NIGHT. YES. SORRY. YEAH. 
          OKAY. HOW MANY EMPLOYEES INITIALLY WERE YOU HAVE I KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE JUST THE TWO OF YOU OR. YES. AND THEN SHE'LL NEED, LIKE A RECEPTIONIST, SOMEONE TO COORDINATE THE SCHEDULE AND TAKE CALLS. SO AT LEAST THREE OF US RIGHT OFF THE BAT. AND I ONLY ASK BECAUSE IT'S LIKE SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. SO. SO 9 A.M. TO 10 P.M. SEVEN DAYS. BEING OFF ON SUNDAYS FOR LIKE FOR CHRISTIAN, FOR CHURCH, ESSENTIALLY. OKAY, I'M THIS IS MORE TO THE COMMISSION. I KNOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CONCERNS PREVIOUSLY REGARDING THE ADVERSE ADVERSE IMPACTS TO ECONOMIC. USES. I KNOW THAT UNDER 2.21 B WE CAN PROPOSE WE AND CITY COUNCIL OF COURSE, CAN PROPOSE SPECIFIC, SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS TO AN SUP. SO I AM, AS WE'RE TALKING THROUGH THIS LATER ON IN FAVOR OF THE SUP APPROACH, I WOULD PROPOSE A FIVE YEAR TERM AS OPPOSED TO THE TEN YEAR. BUT OTHER THAN THAT I IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY'VE GOT A GOOD, GOOD HANDLE ON THE SITUATION SO FAR. SO THANK YOU BOTH AGAIN. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. 
          PARDON. YEAH. GO AHEAD I DO WANT TO MENTION I KNOW YOU MENTIONED YOU WERE WAITING FOR THE SUP, BUT EVEN ONCE THE ZONING IS APPROVED YOU WILL NEED TO GO THROUGH THE BUILDING PERMIT PROCESS AND GET A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY BEFORE YOU OPEN. SO I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU ALL KNOW THAT I HAVE A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY FOR ANOTHER ADDRESS AT FIREWHEEL. 
          BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT WE NEEDED AN SUP. SO WE WENT THROUGH THAT ALREADY. YEAH, WE'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT ONE. AND THEN ALSO FIRE DEPARTMENT AND LIKE DALLAS COUNTY INSPECTION HEALTH DEPARTMENT. SO WE KNOW THERE'S A FEW STEPS. BUT I MEAN, WE'RE TOTALLY GAME WITH GETTING ALL OF THE STUFF DONE AND TAKEN CARE OF. I DON'T WANT TO RUN A LEGALLY. OH, GOOD. 
          SOUNDS LIKE YOUR STEPDAD. I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST THAT YOU GET THE PLANS INTO PERMITTING, AND THEN THEY WOULDN'T ISSUE THE CO UNTIL THE SUP GOES THROUGH. AND YOU ALL UNDERSTAND THE COMMISSIONER DUCKWORTH. OH, YOU WANT ME TO YOU ALL UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF A SPECIAL USE PERMIT PROVISION THAT IT DOESN'T GO BY, RIGHT? IT'S SOMETHING THAT LASTS FOR A GIVEN AMOUNT OF TIME AND THEN YOU COME IN AND RENEW IT. WE RECENTLY HAD ONE IN DOWNTOWN. I HAD A FIVE YEAR INITIALLY CAME IN AND RENEWED. NO PROBLEM. SO OKAY. OKAY, COMMISSIONER DUCKWORTH. ALONG THE LINES OF COMMISSIONER JENKINS UNIQUE CONCEPT AND LOOKS VERY NICE THE WAY YOU HAVE IT SET UP. SO APPRECIATE THOSE KIND OF NEW THINGS IN OUR CITY. AND I WOULD TO TO THE GROUP I WOULD ALSO BE LOOKING FAVORABLY ON THIS FOR A FIVE YEAR ISSUE. THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU ALL FOR BRINGING. YEAH IT DOES LOOK LIKE A WONDERFUL CONCEPT AND SOMETHING UNIQUE AND NEW AND COULD VERY WELL JUST WORK. AND YOU GUYS WERE PROBABLY CONCERNED WITH 
          [00:25:02]
ALL THE OLD PEOPLE UP HERE. INCREDIBLE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? YOU'D BE SURPRISED. I GET A LOT OF OLDER CLIENTS THAT ARE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR SKIN BEING TOO THIN TO DO TATTOOS ON, AND AS A WOMAN TATTOO ARTIST, I'M KNOWN FOR BEING A LIGHT HANDED. I DON'T SCAR PEOPLE UP VERY EASILY. I'M VERY GENTLE, AND SO IF ANYBODY WANTS A TATTOO, JUST LET ME KNOW. A COUPLE CASES GO. WE JUST LEARNED ABOUT MEDICAL TATTOOS FOR TO HIDE SCARRING AND EVERYTHING I DO, I DO. I'VE GONE THROUGH A SEMINAR ACTUALLY A COUPLE SEMINARS, BUT ONE OF THEM WAS MAINLY FOR BREAST CANCER SURVIVORS WITH THE NIPPLE RECONSTRUCTION. BECAUSE WHEN YOU GO TO GET NIPPLES DONE AT THE FACILITIES, THEY ARE LEFT WITH LIKE LOPSIDED, NOT EVEN LOOKING, NOT REALISTIC. AND SINCE MY WORK IS MORE LIKE PAINTERLY, IT LOOKS LIKE REAL. 
          AND IT LEAVES PEOPLE LIKE THE SURVIVORS FEELING LIKE A LOT MORE NORMAL. AND I OFFER THAT SERVICE FOR FREE. BUT SO COOL. ALL RIGHTY. LET'S SEE IF THERE'S ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE. I DON'T THINK THERE IS, BUT YEAH, GO AHEAD AND HAVE A SEAT IF YOU WANT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER DALTON. I'M SORRY YOU HAD A QUESTION. OH, OKAY. I WANTED TO COMMENT. 
          EXCUSE ME. HERE, LET ME GET YOU A MIC OR LIVE THERE. THERE YOU GO. OKAY. I'D LIKE TO COMMENT. 
          NUMBER ONE, I'M I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH DOING A AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING TO ALLOW BY RIGHT. HOWEVER, WITH AN ISSUE OF TEN YEARS. AGAIN THIS GIVES THE CITY BETTER CONTROL IN THE CASE THAT THESE FINE PEOPLE IN THEIR FINE PLANS WERE NOT TO MAKE IT, SOMEONE ELSE COULD COME IN RIGHT BEHIND THEM AND POSSIBLY NOT DO WHAT YOU HAVE PRESENTED TO US. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. LET ME CHECK TO SEE IF THERE'S. IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISHES TO ADDRESS THIS CASE? GO FOR IT. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE AN SP FOR A PERIOD OF TEN YEARS. 
          WE MAY HAVE TO APPROVE THE USE IN THE PD. SO THE THE CORRECT MOTION WOULD PROBABLY BE TO DO A PD AMENDMENT TO ALLOW THIS USE PERMITTED WITH AN SP IN THE PD AND THE SUP FOR THIS USE FOR TEN YEARS. ALL RIGHT, TWO PRONG THAT. LET ME ASK, WHAT WOULD THE LEGAL PREFER WE DO IT IN TWO MOTIONS OR ONE. AS LONG AS WE BOTH DECIDED OKAY. GOOD FOR ONE. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE PD WITH AN SP. CORRECT. THE THE TATTOOING USE WITH THE PD, WITH THE PD, WITH THE SP, WITH AN SP. AND IN THIS CASE, WE APPROVE AN SP FOR A PERIOD OF TEN YEARS. 
          AND I BELIEVE I'VE GOT A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER ABEL OR QUESTION. OKAY. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? DO WE HAVE A SECOND FOR THE MOTION? IN ORDER TO DISCUSS IT, WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A SECOND. NOBODY DID. YET. I'LL SECOND IT. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DALTON AND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER ABEL. WE ARE IN DISCUSSION MODE NOW. AND THE MOTION IS TO MODIFY THE PD TO ALLOW TATTOO USE WITH AN SP, AND SECONDARILY TO. ISSUE AN APPROVED SUP FOR THIS SWEET FOR TEN YEARS. WAS IT? YES. COMMISSIONER ABEL, SUPPORT EVERYTHING YOU SAID. QUESTION. 
          ARE YOU OPPOSED TO FIVE YEAR VERSUS TEN? I'M NOT OPPOSED TO IT, BUT I'M WILLING TO GIVE THEM THE I LIKE I LIKE WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND I'M ON BOARD. I JUST, I'M, I'M THROWING THAT OUT THERE BECAUSE THAT WAS THE INITIAL DISCUSSION. RIGHT. SO I, I'D PREFER TO STAY WITH THE TEN YEAR AT THIS POINT. I CAN THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER. COMMISSIONER PARIS, THAT WAS THAT WAS MY CLARIFICATION. IF IT WOULD BE FIVE VERSUS THE TEN. BUT YOU'VE JUST STATED FIVE. SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS. AND I THINK THE AVERAGE I THOUGHT I HEARD WAS FROM 5 TO 10. SO. 
          THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I WAS LEANING. BUT IT'S UP  YOU OKAY. YES. COMMISSIONER JENKINS 
          [00:30:04]
AND THEN COMMISSIONER ABEL AND I HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF. I, I ALSO LOVE THE CONCEPT AND I LOVE THE IDEA OF BUILDING THIS UP FROM THE GROUND UP, BUT I, I WOULD BE I'D BE DISCOURAGED OR DISAPPOINTED IF THIS APPLICANT, FOR WHATEVER REASON, WAS UNABLE TO FULFILL THAT REQUIREMENT WITHIN THE, YOU KNOW, WITHIN THE TIME. AND THEN WE'D BE WE'D BE ON THE BACK END OF ADDITIONAL 7 OR 8 YEARS WITH A TATTOO. USE IN FIREWHEEL. AND IT WOULD BE IT'S ONE OF A KIND SORT OF THING. SO THAT FIVE YEARS IS WHERE I WAS ON THAT. DISCUSSION. OKAY, I HAD A QUICK QUESTION BY US ALLOWING THIS USE IN THE PD, WOULD THAT APPLY TO THE WHOLE MALL OR CAN WE ZERO IN THE TATTOO USE WITHIN THE PD TO THAT SWEET. EITHER ONE OF YOU. SO JUST LIKE ANY OTHER SUV THAT COMES IN FRONT OF YOU WITH THE REQUEST TO BE LOCATED WITHIN A SUITE, THIS APPLIES TO THE SUITE ITSELF, BUT ALLOWING THE WAY IT'S STATED, IT'S NOT CLEAR IF IT'S ALLOWING, SO THE TWO USE WITH AN ISSUE FOR THE WHOLE MALL OR FOR THE SUITE FOR THE WHOLE MALL, BUT ANY OTHER FOR THE WHOLE AREA. BUT ANY OTHER SUV THAT WANTS TO OPERATE WILL STILL HAVE TO COME GET THE SUV FROM PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL. YEAH. AS IT'S PRESENTED, THE THE PD WOULD BE AMENDED TO ALLOW TATTOO AND OTHER WHATEVER ELSE GOES ON. 
          TATTOO PARLORS BEING THE SHORT VERSION, IT WOULD ALLOW THAT USE BY SUP IN THE PD, SO THEY COULDN'T RANDOMLY PUT ONE SOMEWHERE ELSE. THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME GET AN SUV IN ORDER TO OPERATE A TATTOO LOCATION ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE IN THE PD. THAT'S WHAT I FIGURED. I JUST WANTED THE COMMISSION TO UNDERSTAND THAT BY CHANGING, IN ESSENCE, THE USE TABLE OF THE PD, IT WOULD ALLOW OTHER APPLICANTS TO COME UP AND PUT OTHER ONES HAVE A 500 LIMITATION. YES WE DO. SO THAT PRETTY MUCH COVERS MOST OF THEM ALL FROM THE LOCATION OF THIS FACILITY. THEN I WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND AMEND MY MOTION FROM TEN YEARS TO FIVE YEARS. 
          OKAY. DOES THE SECOND CONCUR? THE SECOND CONCURS. COMMISSIONER PARISH. NO. OKAY. 
          YEAH. ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION BEFORE I TRY TO SUMMARIZE WHAT WE'VE JUST DONE HERE? SO PLEASE BEAR WITH US. ALRIGHTY. WE HAVE WE HAVE A MOTION TO MODIFY THE PD TO ALLOW TATTOO PARLORS WITH AN SUP SECONDARY IN THE MOTION IS TO ALLOW TATTOO PARLOR WITH SUP ON THIS SUITE A03. ALL THIS FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS. OKAY, BEFORE WE GET CONFUSED, LET'S VOTE ON THE MOTION. OH, AND TO REVIEW THE MOTION WAS BY COMMISSIONER DALTON, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER ABEL. WHAT JUST POPPED UP? EVERYBODY. AND REMEMBER TO PUNCH SAVE. AND. 
          OKAY, WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR IT TO POP UP. WE GOT A NEW SYSTEM HERE. SO THAT WOULD BE GREAT. YEAH, YEAH. SOMETIMES IT'S TWO STEPS FORWARD AND THREE STEPS BACK. I WANT TO. NO NO, NO PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. WELCOME TO GARLAND AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUBUSINESS. YOU'RE 
          [a. Garland Forward - Update]
WELCOME. LAST ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS MISCELLANEOUS ITEM GARLAND. FORWARD UPDATES GARLAND FORWARD UPDATE. THANK YOU. CHAIR I WON'T TAKE TOO LONG. AS YOU ALL ARE AWARE, THE CITY HAS BEEN WORKING WITH A CONSULTANT NAMED VIRGINITY FOR THE LAST ONE YEAR ON UPDATING OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE THE CURRENT ONE THAT WE HAVE THAT WE KEEP REFERRING TO ON ALL ZONING CASES THAT WAS DONE IN 2012. SO IT'S WAY BEYOND TIME FOR AN UPDATE. SO INITIALLY THE WHOLE PROCESS WAS DIVIDED INTO FIVE STEPS. IT WAS ASSESS, EXPLORE, ORGANIZE, PRIORITIZE AND ADOPT. SO AS THE TERM SUGGESTS, THE ASSESS AND EXPLORE PHASES HAD A HAD A WHOLE BUNCH OF COMMUNITY SURVEY. YOU ALL SAW THOSE ONLINE. THEY WERE UP ON THE GARLAND FORWARD 
          [00:35:04]
WEBSITE. WE TRIED TO ADVERTISE IT ANYTIME WE WENT FOR A TOWN HALL, SO ON AND SO FORTH. THERE WERE IN-PERSON COMMUNITY MEETINGS AS WELL. I WOULD SAY, THOUGH, THE MEETINGS WEREN'T AS WELL ATTENDED AS WE HAD HOPED FOR THEM TO BE, WITH THE REASON BEING, USUALLY IF IT'S A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND PEOPLE DON'T FEEL THAT IT'S GOING TO IMPACT THEM DIRECTLY VERY IMMEDIATELY, THEY MAY NOT HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF INTEREST TO SHOW UP. BUT WE DID GET SOME. BUT ONLINE WE GOT A GOOD AMOUNT OF RESPONSES. SO WE DID ALL OF THAT. THE SURVEYING. WE HAVE AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE AS WELL. WE HAVE MET IN PERSON AND VIRTUALLY SEVERAL TIMES WITH THEM, KIND OF PRESENTED WHAT THE COMP PLAN IS AND KIND OF GOT THEIR INPUT AS WELL. 
          ANOTHER BIG PIECE DURING THE FIRST TWO STEPS WAS THE PRESENTATION, THE LAND USE FISCAL ANALYSIS. YOU ALL WERE PART OF THAT JOINT WORK SESSION WHERE VIRGINITY CAME IN AND PROVIDED A PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL PRESENTATION, KIND OF DISSECTING HOW THE LAND USE AND THE FISCAL CONDITION OF THE CITY IS RELATED, AND HOW LAND USE DECISIONS WILL BE, WILL IMPACT THE FISCAL HEALTH OF THE CITY AND HOW HOW WE CAN MOVE THE MOVE THE STEER AND DIFFERENT. WE CAN STEER THINGS IN DIFFERENT WAYS. SO DIFFERENT TOOLS THAT THEY HAD DISCUSSED IN THEIR PRESENTATION. SO ALL OF THOSE WERE DONE IN THE FIRST TWO STEPS. I WOULD SAY WE'RE IN THE THIRD STEP OF THE PROCESS, WHICH IS ORGANIZE. AND THERE IS THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS TO ORGANIZE. SO WE HAVE ALL THESE INPUT THAT WE'RE HAVING TO ORGANIZE. WE ALSO HAVE SEVERAL OTHER STUDIES GOING ON THAT WILL TWO OTHER SIGNIFICANT STUDIES GOING ON THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY ALIGN WITH THE COMP PLAN. AND THE COMP PLAN ALIGNS WITH THAT. NUMBER ONE IS THE HOUSING STUDY LAST WORK SESSION LAST WEEK. THE WEEK BEFORE LAST WEEK, LAST WEEK DURING THE WORK SESSION, THE CONSULTANT FOR THE HOUSING STUDY, WHICH IS CAME TO CITY COUNCIL AND PROVIDED ANOTHER SUBSTANTIAL PRESENTATION. ALTHOUGH THE FOCUS WAS LARGELY ON HOUSING STOCK. BUT THAT IS A BIG COMPONENT OF THE COMP PLAN AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR GOALS AND RECOMMENDATIONS DO ALIGN. SO THERE'S THAT COORDINATION GOING ON. WE ALSO ARE GOING THROUGH A DOWNTOWN ACTIVATION PLAN CURRENTLY, AND FOR THAT IS NOT GOING TO IMPACT THE COMP PLAN THAT MUCH. BUT WHATEVER RECOMMENDATIONS AND GOALS IN THE COMP PLAN THAT WE SET FOR THE DOWNTOWN, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE NOT CONFLICTING WITH THE DOWNTOWN ACTIVATION PLAN. SO THERE'S JUST A WHOLE LOT OF THINGS OUT THERE THAT WE HAVE DONE SO FAR, AND WE ARE CURRENTLY DOING THAT. WE'RE WORKING ON ORGANIZING AT THIS POINT BECAUSE OF THE TIMING OF THE STUDIES, THE OTHER TWO STUDIES, THE COMP PLAN, AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE DO IT RIGHT. THEN RUSHING INTO IT, WE DID PUSH THE SCHEDULE JUST A LITTLE BIT. 
          SO INITIALLY FOR THE PRIORITIZE AND ADOPTION, THE FINAL ADOPTION TIMELINE WAS MARCH OF 2026. IT HAS NOW BEEN PUSHED TO MAY OF 2026. NOW THIS IS JUST A TIMELINE UPDATE. IT IS NOT GIVING YOU LIKE HEY, THIS IS THE DRAFT MAPS AND DRAFT PLANS, BUT WE DO HAVE THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP DRAFTED, AND WE ALSO HAVE A SPECTRUM OF CHANGE MAP DRAFTED, WHICH KIND OF SHOWS US FROM A PERSPECTIVE OF HEY, THIS AREA NEEDS A WHOLE LOT OF REDEVELOPMENT. THIS AREA MAY DO WELL WITH SOME INCREMENTAL APPROACH FOR INCENTIVES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THOSE MAPS ARE DRAFTED, BUT WE HAVEN'T. THOSE ARE STILL KIND OF, I WOULD SAY 95% COMPLETION. BUT ONCE WE ARE THERE, WE ARE READY. WE WILL HAVE MORE WORK SESSIONS WHERE WE WILL PRESENT THOSE TO YOU. YOU'LL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO REVIEW THE PLAN, PLENTY OF TIME TO REVIEW THE MAPS, AND WE'LL GO FROM THERE. SO THAT'S MY UPDATE. ANY QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONER DUCKWORTH, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, ARE Y'ALL PUTTING TOGETHER SOME KIND OF A GARLAND FORWARD FOR DUMMIES THAT YOU CAN GO THROUGH IN A HALF AN HOUR OR AN HOUR, RATHER THAN READING A MULTIPLE VOLUME? WE'RE NOT GOING TO CALL IT THAT, BUT WE CAN HAVE SOME QUICK CHEAT SHEET OR SOME QUICK EDUCATIONAL TWO PAGES OR ONE PAGERS FOR FOR TO HELP PEOPLE LEARN WHAT THE PLAN IS TRYING TO DO BEFORE WE GO THROUGH ADOPTION. KIND OF WHAT TIME IS IT? I DON'T KNOW HOW TO BUILD. 
          I DON'T WANT TO KNOW HOW TO BUILD A WATCH, BUT THAT KIND OF A CONCEPT. YEAH, YEAH, WE CAN PUT THAT. WE CAN PUT LIKE A LITTLE CONCISE THING AND WE CAN PUT IT ON OUR WEBSITE. YES, SIR. 
          THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE? I DID WATCH THOSE PRESENTATIONS FROM LAST WEEK. AND THE STUFF THAT'S 
          [00:40:04]
COMING OUT IS LOOKING GOOD. AND FOR ME, TAKE THE TIME YOU NEED TO INCORPORATE THE HOUSING STUDY FOR I KNOW COUNCIL GIVES YOU ORDERS, BUT AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED OR WHATEVER, WHATEVER NEEDS TO, BECAUSE THAT'S A KEY COMPONENT AS TO SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WILL NEED TARGETING, NOT NECESSARILY TARGETING, BUT IN THE HOUSING STUDY THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT, INSTEAD OF TAKING YOUR MONEY AND SPREADING IT ALL OVER THE CITY, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT HERE, A LITTLE BIT THERE TO IMPROVE THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. WE NEED TO WORK IN CERTAIN AREAS. THEY'VE IDENTIFIED SOME CERTAIN AREAS FOR ENOUGH MONEY, WHETHER WHAT I CALL ACTIVE MONEY, WHICH IS MONEY THE CITY GIVES OUT, OR PASSIVE MONEY, WHICH I CALL, I CALL A PASSIVE MONEY WHERE THERE ARE TAX INCENTIVES, COORDINATE THOSE IN CERTAIN AREAS, GET THAT AREA BUILT UP, AND EVERYTHING CAN KIND OF BE A SYNERGY FROM THERE. SOO ME, WHATEVER YOU NEED TO TAKE TO GET IT ALL INCORPORATED AND, AND EVEN THE LAND USE MAP IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT. WE'VE SEEN IN THE PAST. SO YES. AND ALSO THE DESIGNATITIONS, YOU ALL ARE VERY USED TO HEARING NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS, REGIONAL CENTERS, AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. 
          SO WE'RE HAVING DIFFERENT DESIGNATIONS. WE'RE CALLING IT DIFFERENTLY. WE'RE TRYING TO REALLY INCORPORATE THE CULTURAL PIECE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO INCORPORATE ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND ALSO, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT SOUTH GARLAND REZONING, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED A FEW AREAS THAT WE WANT TO CREATE THE REGIONAL DESTINATION FOR. RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE REGIONAL CENTER KIND OF SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE MAPS, BUT THIS ONE ON THE DRAFT FROM THE DRAFT FUTURE LAND USE MAP, WE HAVE THOSE IDENTIFIED AREAS AS REGIONAL DESTINATION, AND THERE WILL BE A TOOLBOX THAT WOULD KIND OF SUGGEST WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE THAT A REALITY. 
          SO HOPEFULLY A LOT MORE USABLE IN TERMS OF IMPLEMENTING THE PLAN. BUT AGAIN, VIRGINIA IS WORKING ON DRAFTING THE PLANS NOW. IT'S COMING IN IN BITE SIZE PIECES. SO ONCE WE STAFF HAS LOOKED AT ALL THE COMPONENTS AND WE'RE COMFORTABLE SHARING IT WITH YOU, WE THINK IT'S IN A GOOD SPOT. WE'LL WE'LL BRING IT TO YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COMMISSIONER DUCKWORTH. YEAH. SOMEBODY SAID SOMETHING THAT MADE ME THINK WHEN MY WIFE AND I FIRST MARRIED, WE LIVED OVER ON THE DENT AREA UP THERE, AND I KNOW Y'ALL HAVE A A I WENT TO A GROUP MEETING FOR THAT AREA. IS THIS CONCEPT TO WORK ON AN AREA LIKE THAT TO HELP REVITALIZE A RESIDENTIAL AREA? THAT'S THE HOUSING DEAL. AND THEY HAVEN'T FINALIZED THEIR PATIENT YET, SO THAT WON'T BE PART OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BECAUSE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS FOCUSING ON THE BIG PICTURE. BUT THERE WILL BE TOOLS IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PLAN AND RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAN START AN INITIATIVE LIKE THAT. BECAUSE BEING FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA, THERE ARE AREAS THAT COULD COULD PERHAPS BE A LARGE REDEVELOPMENT AREA. THAT'S WHAT THE SPECTRUM OF CHANGE MAP DOES, THAT DOES IDENTIFY AREAS WHERE THERE COULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE FOCUS TO REDEVELOPMENT EFFORT. OTHERS COULD BE INCREMENTAL REDEVELOPMENT EFFORT OR JUST SOME AREAS IS JUST PRESERVE. WE LIKE THE WAY IT IS TODAY ON THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. WE'RE IDENTIFYING THEM AS PRESERVE. SO THAT WOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE SPECTM OF CHANGE MAP. WE WILL CALL THAT A DIFFERENT WE GOT SOME INPUT FROM CITY COUNCIL. WE'LL CALL IT SOMETHING DIFFERENT. BUT FOR NOW WE'RE CALLING IT SPECTRUM OF CHANGE. BUT BUT WHAT I WANTED TO SAY IS THAT. BUT THAT PARTICULAR INITIATIVE WON'T BE PART OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. IT WILL MAY COME OUT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THANK YOU. 
          THERE WERE SOME EXCITING SPECTRUM OF CHANGE WITH THE CABLE PROVIDER SPECTRUM. SO THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION THERE. COMMISSIONER JENKINS. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. THANK YOU FOR THIS UPDATE ON THE GARLAND PORT PLAN. I KNOW THAT THERE IS A LOT OF WORK THAT'S GONE INTO THE EFFORT THAT YOU HAVE AT THIS POINT, I DO RECALL INITIAL SORT OF MANTRA THAT IT TAKES AN ADDITIONAL EFFORT TO GET TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PLAN ON PAPER BECOMES THE PLAN FOR THE FUTURE. SO I HEAR THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF IRONS IN THE POT. WE'RE TRYING. IT SOUNDS LIKE, TO BE A JACK OF ALL TRADES. JUST WANT TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT WE'RE THE MASTERS OF THIS PARTICULAR, THIS PARTICULAR ONE. SO BUT THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THAT SHORT NOTICE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT UPDATE AND WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO EVERYTHING COMING OUT IN THE NEXT HALF YEAR OR SO. YEAR. ALRIGHTY. AT FINISHES THAT AGENDA ITEM. AND THAT WAS OUR LAST AGENDA ITEM. SO LET'S SEE. IT IS NOW 714. SO UNTIL OUR MEETING OF OCTOBER 13TH WE ARE ADJOURNED. THANK YOU.
