          UH, THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          UH, UH, CITY MANAGER CUMMINGS. 
          [3. Briefing on Comprehensive Plan.]
NEXT ITEM ON THE, UH, BRIEFING AGENDA IS RIFFING ON A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          HOW ARE YOU DOING MR. SPRINGFIELD? HELLO, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL IS REALLY NICE TO BE WITH YOU ALL TODAY. 
          SO I ACTUALLY HAVE THE NEXT TWO AGENDA ITEMS. SO I'LL, WE'LL, UM, TRY TO BE AS BRIEF AS POSSIBLE, BUT GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION THAT I FEEL THAT YOU ALL NEED. 
          UM, ABOUT HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD I LEAVE FOR THE LAST AGENDA ITEM? I SHOULD HAVE ASKED THAT EARLIER 20 MINUTES. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, I'M GOOD. 
          OKAY. 
          AND SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE, UM, NOT JUST THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSIDERATION ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT, BUT WE ALSO HAVE AN ITEM THAT IS AMENDING, UM, THERE'S THIS LITTLE UNKNOWN SECTION THAT, UM, THE CITY ATTORNEYS HAVE ACTUALLY GUIDED ME TO WHEN WE STARTED LOOKING AT WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO LEGALLY IN ORDER TO GET THIS ADOPTED IT'S, UM, CHAPTER 16 OF OUR CODE OF ORDINANCES. 
          AND IT IS AN ENABLING STATUTE, UM, THAT REALLY ALLOWS CITIES. 
          THE STATE HAS SAID, CITIES, YOU CAN ADOPT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          UM, AND THIS IS THE SECTION THAT IT COMES FROM. 
          AND SO THE CITY ATTORNEYS HAVE MADE THE SUGGESTION THAT WE MAKE THAT ONE MINOR CHANGE. 
          AND SO THAT ITEM, IT IS ALSO ON YOUR AGENDA FOR TONIGHT. 
          AND SO NOW I'M GOING TO GET INTO, UM, REALLY THE JOURNEY. 
          I LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE JOURNEY WE'VE TAKEN FOR THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          UM, WE COINED IT CEDAR HILL NEXT, PRESERVING THE PAST, CULTIVATING THE FUTURE. 
          AND I LIKE TO START OUT WITH WHAT IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, YOU KNOW, EVERY TIME WE DO ONE OF THESE PRESENTATIONS BEFORE YOU. 
          AND SO THE PLAN OF THE POLICY GUIDE FOR HOW A CITY WILL ACHIEVE ITS VISION, HOW WE WILL ADAPT TO GLOBAL NATIONAL, REGIONAL, AND LOCAL CHANGES AND OUR PLAN FOR RESILIENCY, IT IS ALSO A REFLECTION OF THE COMMUNITY'S VALUES. 
          AND SO THE JOURNEY WE'VE TAKEN. 
          SO WE OFFICIALLY STARTED, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY IN MAY, 2019, BUT I WAS GOING THROUGH SOME OF THE FILES, YOU KNOW, AS I WAS PREPARING FOR THIS PRESENTATION, YOU KNOW, AND I ACTUALLY REALIZED THAT WE STARTED, UM, YOU KNOW, MAKING THESE REQUESTS BACK, UM, WHEN, UM, RON TYLER WAS HERE, OUR FORMER PLANNING DIRECTOR FOR THIS PLAN. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, THIS PLAN ACTUALLY, YOU COULD SAY REALLY EVEN STARTED BEFORE ME. 
          AND I JUST TOOK IT ON, UM, AFTER HIS RETIREMENT, HE PASSED ON THE RAIN, SO TO SPEAK. 
          SO MAY, 2019, YOU APPROVED THE CONTRACT FOR THIS PLAN. 
          WE STARTED COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SEPTEMBER, 2019. 
          AND WE DID THAT ALL THE WAY THROUGH DECEMBER OF 2019. 
          UM, AND THAT CULMINATED WITH, UM, UH, A FIVE DAY LONG EVENT THAT WAS PLANNED PLAN A PALOOZA. 
          AND, UM, ONE THING THAT I WANT TO SAY IS THAT, UM, IT, IT WAS, UM, I SAY IT WAS, IT WAS BLESSED. 
          I SAY THIS EVENT WAS BLESSED THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET THIS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IN BEFORE COVID. 
          AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, WELL, SOME OF THE THINGS ACTUALLY THAT WE HEARD, UM, DURING THAT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS, AS A REMINDER FOR YOU ARE, THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT THE COMMUNITY SAID THAT IT FEARED. 
          THEY DID NOT WANT CEDAR HILL TO BECOME UNRECOGNIZABLE, DID NOT WANT US TO LOSE OUR OPEN SPACES, OUR SMALL TOWN CHARM OR BECOME TOO CROWDED. 
          AND SO WE ALSO PUT OUT A SURVEY AND WE ASKED AT ALL THOSE EVENTS THAT I SHOWED YOU ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, WHAT ARE SOME THINGS FROM THE 2008 PLAN THAT WE'D NEED TO KEEP? SO THESE WERE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, INTEGRATING 
          [00:20:01]
OUR PARKS AND TRAILS AND OPEN SPACES INTO A FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS, PRESERVING OUR ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL AREAS, PARTICULARLY ALONG THE LAKE AND CREEKS, UM, DEVELOPING AN INTERCONNECTED STREET PATTERN, WALKING, JOGGING, BIKE PATHS. 
          UM, THEY WANTED TO ENCOURAGE ALSO SOME MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, BUT IT WAS CLEAR ALSO THAT THEY WANTED THOSE IN THE APPROPRIATE PLACES. 
          THEY DIDN'T NECESSARILY WANT THEM EVERYWHERE AND ALSO PURSUING CAMPUS, UM, BUSINESS, CAMPUS DEVELOPMENT ALONE, GLOOP NINE. 
          AND SO THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT, UM, ALSO, THEY SAID THEY WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO A NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT, UM, REALLY DIDN'T HIT ON A LITTLE BIT IN 2008, BUT WE'RE NOT EXPOUNDED ON. 
          AND SO THAT WAS PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE, THE AVAILABILITY AND CAPACITY OF THAT, UM, PROMOTING ECO TOURISM, PROMOTING OUR SMALL BUSINESSES AND INNOVATION, UM, THAT INCLUDED EXPERIENCES, UM, AND ENCOURAGING THOSE THAT WERE RELATED TO ART CULTURE, UM, SPECIALTY RETAIL AND DINING SENIOR LIVABILITY THAT HAS COME UP ACTUALLY IN, UM, JUST ABOUT EVERY PRESENTATION THAT I'VE MADE, ALSO PROVIDING MORE HOUSING OPTIONS. 
          HOWEVER, IT WAS CLEAR THAT THAT WAS NOT MORE TRADITIONAL APARTMENT COMPLEXES AND THOSE HOUSING OPTIONS WERE SPEAKING TO HOUSING FOR, UM, YOUNG PROFESSIONALS, EMPTY NESTERS AND SENIORS. 
          AND THEN OF COURSE, UM, COVID HAPPENED. 
          AND SO, UM, WE TOOK A KOBE PAUSE, BUT DURING THE TIME WE ACTUALLY WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE HEARD DURING THE PRESENTATION IN STORE DURING THE DIFFERENT PRESENTATIONS AND STARTED WORKING ON, UM, THE PRE-DRAFT DEVELOPMENT. 
          AND SO WE MET WITH CITY COUNCIL IN NOVEMBER, 2020. 
          UM, THEY, IN JANUARY, 2021, WE HELD A JOINT WORKSHOP VIA ZOOM, AND THAT WAS DONE BY KEVIN SHEPHERD. 
          AND THAT WAS CALLED CULTIVATING FISCAL HEALTH AND LOCAL WEALTH. 
          AND WE DID TWO STAFF WORKSHOPS BETWEEN MARCH AND MAY. 
          AND THEN IN JUNE, 2021, WE, UM, WENT BACK TO OUR THINK TANK. 
          AND OUR THINK TANK IS THE COMMITTEE THAT YOU ALL APPOINTED. 
          IT WAS A GROUP OF 25 MEMBERS, AS WELL AS OUR P AND Z. 
          AND THEN WE ALSO DID A CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP. 
          SO UPON THAT WORKSHOP, WE DID SOME ONE ON ONES WITH YOU ALL, UM, IN JULY, 2021. 
          AND THEN WE STARTED WORKING ON THE ACTUAL DRAFT DOCUMENT, UM, THAT WE DELIVERED IN DECEMBER. 
          BUT BEFORE WE DELIVER THAT WORKSHOP TO THE PUBLIC, WE DID ANOTHER JOINT WORKSHOP WITH YOU ON NOVEMBER OF 2021. 
          AND SO AS PART OF THAT DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLAN, WE ALSO DID A LIKELY IMPACTS ANALYSIS STUDY. 
          AND WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO SEE IS BASED UP ON US WANTING TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF OPEN SPACE CAN WE AFFORD IT, UM, CAN BASICALLY THE REVENUES COMPARED TO THE RELATIVE COST OF PROVIDING FACILITIES AND SERVICES, SUPPORT OUR FUTURE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT, AND IT FOUND THAT IT COULD. 
          AND SO THIS PLAN, THEN WE PROCEEDED TO SAY, OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO DOUBLE DOWN ON BEING A CITY IN A PARK. 
          SO THAT IS WHAT THIS ENTIRE PLAN IS REALLY BASED UP ON AND FOCUS ON. 
          WE ACTUALLY CALL IT THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP. 
          THAT'S WHAT MOST CITY CALLED CITIES CALL IT, BUT WE CALL IT CONSERVATION AND GROWTH MAP. 
          WE START OUT WITH CONSERVATION FOR A REASON BECAUSE WE STARTED OUT WITH THE AREAS THAT WE WANTED TO CONSERVE AND PRESERVE, AND THEN WE BUILD, UM, GROWTH AROUND THOSE AREAS. 
          SO THESE WERE THE DIFFERENT, WHAT WE CALL CHARACTER AREAS AND PLACE TYPES THAT ARE ACTUALLY ON YOUR FUTURE LAND USE MAP. 
          AND SO THAT OPEN SPACE AND CONSERVATION OPPORTUNITY AREAS, THOSE WERE REALLY KEY AGAIN TO HOW EVERYTHING ELSE DEVELOPED, UM, AROUND THOSE. 
          AND SO THIS IS THE CONSERVATION AND GROWTH PATH THAT WAS DEVELOPED. 
          UM, ONE THING YOU MAY SEE THAT LITTLE NOTE AT THE TOP, THAT'S ACTUALLY A NOTE THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE WITHIN THIS PLAN ON THIS MAP PER THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE. 
          SO THAT HAS ALSO BEEN ADDED TO THE DRAFT. 
          AND SO THE GREEN AREAS THAT YOU SEE ARE VARIOUS, THOSE VARIOUS LEVELS OF OPEN SPACE AND CONSERVATION OPPORTUNITY. 
          SO WE ALSO, UM, DEVELOPED THIS THOROUGHFARE MAP AND TWO OF THE THINGS THAT CAME OUT OF THAT WAS RETAINING OUR GREENWAY CORRIDORS FROM THAT 2008 PLAN. 
          SO THOSE ARE THOSE AREAS THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED HOW LIGHTING SOME OF THE ROADWAYS IN GREEN ALSO MODIFYING TO MODIFICATION TO ELIMINATE ROAD A, WHICH WAS BETWEEN FM 1382 
          [00:25:01]
AND BELTLINE ROAD. 
          AND SO THESE ARE THE BIG ROCKS THAT WE, UM, TALKED ABOUT AND WE DEVELOPED OUR PLAN AROUND. 
          SO MAKING A LEGACY MOVE TO PRESERVE 25% OF THE CITY IS OPEN SPACE, UM, IN A COMMUNITY WITH A VARIETY OF ENTERTAINMENT, MOBILITY CAREER, UM, AND HOUSING TYPES. 
          AND AGAIN, THAT EXCLUDES ADDITIONAL CONVENTIONAL APARTMENT COMPLEXES. 
          WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, UM, HIGH QUALITY HOUSING HERE THAT APPEALS TO A MULTI-GENERATIONAL DEMOGRAPHIC, ALSO PROTECTING AND ENHANCING OUR EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS AND DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD OCCUR IN A DELIBERATE CONTEMPLATED MANNER, COMMEMORATING OUR HISTORIC AND HISTORIC PLACES. 
          UM, AND ALSO INVESTING IN INFRASTRUCTURE THAT PROMOTES USES OF LAND AND ATTRACTS BUSINESSES THAT FACILITATE A COMMUNITY OF WELLNESS. 
          AND ALSO WE WANT TO BE A COMMUNITY. 
          AND THIS IS WHAT AGAIN, ALSO CAME FROM, UM, ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT COMMUNITY FEEDBACK AND ENGAGEMENT EXERCISES THAT PROVIDES PROTAL GROUND FOR SMALL BUSINESSES AND ENTREPRENEURS TO EMERGE AND FLOURISH. 
          AND SO THESE IN, FOR 2021, WE RELEASED A DRAFT BASED UPON THESE THINGS THAT WE ALL HAD LOOKED AT IN THOSE BARRIERS WORKSHOPS, DECEMBER, 2021 THROUGH ACTUALLY MARCH 22, WHEN STEEL IS GOING ON, WE DID ALL THESE SUBAREAS COMMUNITY BEAT BACK, UM, EXERCISES AND EVENTS. 
          WE DID FIVE OPEN HOUSES. 
          WE MET WITH THE EDC BOARD, OUR BEST FORWARD HARKS BOARD, CDC NEIGHBORHOOD ADVISORY BIRD, AS WELL AS THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. 
          IN ADDITION TO THAT, UM, W WE REALLY SAW A LOT OF TRACTION FROM WHERE THOSE 70 POP SIGNS AND THEY PUT ENTRIES, BECAUSE ONE THING THAT WE SAW FROM THE FIRST ROUND OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IS THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO SAID, WELL, YOU KNOW, IF I'M, IF I'M NOT PART OF AN HOA, OR IF I'M NOT PART OF THESE GROUPS, I DIDN'T, OR IF I DON'T LOOK AT THE WEBSITE, I DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT IT. 
          SO THIS WAS ANOTHER WAY FOR US TO CAPTURE THAT. 
          AND IT ACTUALLY WORKED OUT WELL BECAUSE A COUPLE OF OUR THINK TEAM MEMBERS SAID, UM, PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS LOOKED AT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          SO ALL THAT THEY WERE MEMBERS AND CAME TO THEM TO GET INFORMATION. 
          SO IT WORKED OUT, YOU KNOW, AS WE HAD ALL PLANNED. 
          AND SO WE HAD ANOTHER JOINT WORKSHOP WITH YOU AFTER WE CONCLUDED THOSE OPEN HOUSES. 
          WE HAD ANOTHER JOINT WORKSHOP WITH YOU AND THE THINK TANK ON MARCH 1ST. 
          AND THEN WE MADE CHANGES BASED UPON THAT FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS OUR THINK TANK, WE MADE A SECOND DRAFT. 
          WE RELEASED THAT SECOND DRAFT ON MARCH 4TH, WE HELD A PNC PUBLIC HEARING WHERE P AND Z DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL. 
          UM, THEIR BOAT WAS FABO. 
          TWO OF THE MEMBERS COULD NOT COME, HOWEVER THEY DID SEND ME WRITTEN SUPPORT. 
          AND SO I COUNT THAT AS A UNANIMOUS DECISION BY OUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. 
          AND OF COURSE TONIGHT, UM, CITY COUNCIL IS ALSO HOLDING ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING. 
          AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO YOU ALSO ABOUT THE REALLY BIGGEST, IMPORTANT STEP OF THE PLAN, BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T DO THE IMPLEMENTATION, THEN IT REALLY IS JUST A PLAN THAT IS ON THE CHEF. 
          SO, UM, THERE ARE REALLY, I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE FIRST THREE. 
          I THINK THESE ARE THE FIRST, FIRST THREE THINGS THAT ARE MOST IMPORTANT, UM, AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT YEAR. 
          SO FIRST WE HAVE TO DO OUR WATER SEWER DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN, AS WELL AS I SEE RP, UM, I'M WORKING WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. 
          WE'RE TRYING TO DECIDE IF WE'RE GOING TO DO AN RFQ FOR BOTH OF THOSE SIMULTANEOUSLY OR IF THERE'LL BE SEPARATE. 
          UM, AND THE REASON WHY WE SAY THAT IS BECAUSE OF BOTH OF THESE ARE STATE MANDATES. 
          UM, OUR LAST UPDATE WITHIN 2017, WE DID A PROCESS TO RECEIVE A WAIVER FROM THE STATE TO NOT HAVE TO DO THESE. 
          UM, BUT NOW, YOU KNOW, THAT RUNS OUT IN 2022. 
          AND SO THAT'S WHY WE ARE ON THE TIME CLOCK TO KIND OF GET THIS APPROVED SO THAT WE CAN START THIS PROCESS. 
          CAUSE THEN THIS PROCESS IS ALSO BASED UPON YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THEN, UM, ALSO WE ARE WORKING ON WHAT WE'RE CALLING A POLICY MANUAL FOR, FOR PREFERRED SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT. 
          SO THAT WILL, OF COURSE INCLUDE SEVERAL WORKSHOPS WITH THE COMMISSION. 
          UM, BUT STAFF IS, YOU KNOW, WORKING ON SOME THINGS TO BRING TO YOU FOR COMMENT, AND THEN FOR YOU TO, UM, HELP US DEVELOP THAT. 
          AND THE REASON WHY WE'RE WORKING ON THAT NOW IS BECAUSE THEN WE WILL BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT INFORMATION THEN FOR THE ZONING ORDINANCE. 
          UM, WE'RE IN A SITUATION WHERE WE DON'T REALLY HAVE TIME TO WAIT ON THE ZONING ORDINANCE. 
          SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE'RE DOING THIS POLICY MANUAL THAT WILL HELP INFORM 
          [00:30:01]
WHAT WE NEED TO DO IN TERMS OF THE SINGLE FAMILY, UM, DEVELOPMENT, UM, THAT ARE TRYING TO COME INTO THE CITY. 
          ALSO, UM, WE WILL NEED TO UPDATE OUR SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE, OUR TREE PRESERVATION ORDINANCE, UM, OUR PARKS RECREATION TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN. 
          THEY ARE BROUGHT TO GET KICKED OFF. 
          UM, ALSO THERE HAS BEEN A DESIRE FOR NEIGHBORHOOD PLANS AND WE KNOW FOR SURE, SMALL AREA PLANS, UM, FOR LOOP NINE AND THEN FOR NEIGHBORHOOD AND HIGHWAY 67 REVITALIZATION. 
          UM, ALSO THE SUSTAINABILITY ACTION PLAN. 
          THAT'S DO WE SHOP, HE'LL START WORKING ON THAT AS WELL. 
          UM, THE EDC STRATEGIC PLAN, AND THEN WE WILL ALSO BE DOING BY ANNUAL UPDATES WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ON HOW FAR WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED SOME OF THESE THINGS, SO THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REALLY IS A LIVING DOCUMENT AND NOT JUST A PLANT THAT'S ON A SHELF. 
          SO NOW I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A SPECIAL, THANK YOU. 
          I MENTIONED THE THINK TANK EARLIER, BUT THOSE GROUP HAS BEEN SO VERY INSTRUMENTAL AND GET IN, AND I'M ABOUT TO CRY. 
          I SAID, I WAS NOT GOING TO DO THIS, BUT THIS WAS REALLY A JOURNEY ALL, BUT I THINK ALL OF, UM, SOME OF THEM PARTICIPATED MORE. 
          UM, THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY WERE THERE FOR ME, UM, EARLY MORNINGS, LATE NIGHTS, UM, PROVIDING FEEDBACK. 
          IT WAS VERY HELPFUL. 
          SOME OF THEM WERE IN THE CROWD TONIGHT. 
          UM, AS WELL AS STAFF CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST DID THAT. 
          SO, UM, THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. 
          PLEASE DO NOT, UM, LIVE MY TEARS, STOP YOU FROM, UM, ANSWER ME THE HORROR QUESTIONS CAUSE I'M READY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          WELL, UH, FIRST I'D LIKE TO SAY, UM, NO, THANK YOU. 
          AND THE THINK TANK FOR, FOR THE WORK THAT YOU HAD PUT FORTH IN THIS, UH, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          UM, COULD YOU SAY JOURNEY? I DON'T KNOW IF JOURNEY IS REALLY THE RIGHT WORD, BECAUSE HE WAS SO MUCH MORE, IF YOU GOING AROUND THE LAP, YOU KNOW, TO, UM, TO GET TO THIS POINT, NO THREE YEARS WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL PLAN, BUT, UH, I SPENT THREE YEARS IN THE MAKING. 
          UM, COULD YOU GO BACK TO THE TOOL SLOT AND, UH, IN COUNSEL, IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, I'LL REACH BACK OUT TO YOU, BUT, UH, I'M JUST CURIOUS, UM, UH, THE STATE MANDATE, JUST TO CLARIFY, AFTER WE APPROVED THE CO-OP PLAN, IS THERE A TIMELINE OF WHEN WE GOT THIS DISEASE TO EXPIRE? IS THERE, YEAH, SO THE FIRST TWO, UM, AUGUST 22 IS WHEN THOSE, UM, WHEN IT WOULD EXPIRE. 
          AND SO WE DON'T KNOW IF WE WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE, UM, THOSE TWO ITEMS APPROVED BY THEN. 
          SO WHAT WE ARE WORKING WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY ON IS JUST REQUESTING ANOTHER 18 MONTHS SO THAT WE CAN GET THAT APPROVED. 
          SO IS IT AUGUST, 2022? BECAUSE IT'S, UH, WHAT IS THAT FOR ME? THAT'S WHEN WE, RIGHT. 
          THAT IS WHEN WE APPROVED THE, THE LAST ONE WAS APPROVED IN AUGUST, 2012. 
          AND SO THEN WE RECEIVED THE FIVE YEARS IN 2017, AUGUST, 2017. 
          AND SO, SO WE DO A FIVE-YEAR PLAN ANYWAY. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          GOTCHA. 
          OH, I THOUGHT I THOUGHT THE PARKS, THE PARKS MASTER PLAN ALSO HAD A FIVE-YEAR TO PUT THE CYCLES LATER. 
          OKAY. 
          GOTCHA. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, MY QUESTION IS FOR, FOR SOME OF THESE OTHER, UH, POLICIES, UM, CAN WE MAYBE SET SOME PRIORITIES OF WHICH ONES WOULD COME AFTER THAT DATE? YOU KNOW, I, I FEEL THERE'S SOME, SOME HOT TOPICS IN WHILE IT'S STILL FRESH ON THE MIND. 
          I DON'T WANT TO WAIT TOO, TOO, TOO LONG. 
          YES, MO YEAH, WE CAN DEFINITELY DO THAT. 
          AND IF WE NEED TO DO A SEPARATE WORKSHOP FOR THAT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN DO THAT AS WELL. 
          SOUNDS GOOD. 
          UM, THERE WAS ONE QUESTION ABOUT, UM, SO IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING, YOU KNOW, THE PURPOSE OF A COMP PLAN IS BE ABLE TO GET UNBIASED, YOU KNOW, INTERPRETATION OF WHERE WE ARE TODAY AND WHERE WE TRYING TO GO. 
          UH, BUT I, I, I, I HEARD FROM ONE OF OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT, UM, OUR CITY IS REALLY MORE, UM, HAS MORE AMENITIES AND HAS MORE, YOU KNOW, JUUL WALLS AND ALL THESE FANCY STUFF IN OUR CITY, BUT THAT'S NOT BEING CAPTURED IN THE PLAN. 
          UH, I FEEL LIKE THAT'S SHOULD BE MORE THE AMENITIES AND THE ASSETS OF OUR CITY. 
          I FEEL LIKE THAT SHOULD BE IN A DIFFERENT PLAN. 
          WOULD YOU AGREE WITH IT? AND IF SO, DO YOU KNOW WHICH PLAN THAT WOULD BE? AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE CAN TRY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, YOU KNOW, TO CAPTURE WHY, YOU KNOW, YOU, WE CAN ONLY CAPTURE SO MUCH, YOU KNOW, ONE THING I'LL SAY THAT WHEN THIS PLAN STARTED, IT ACTUALLY STARTED, UM, BEFORE, UM, FOR EXAMPLE, THE LIBRARY AND THE SIGNATURE 
          [00:35:01]
PARK STARTED, FOR EXAMPLE. 
          AND SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A PLAN THAT IS TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE FUTURE, SOME OF THOSE WINS WERE NOT CAPTURED BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT IT IS THAT WE NEED TO GO FROM HERE. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, IT, WASN'T AN INTENTIONAL SLIDE TO NOT INCLUDE THOSE, BUT THOSE CAN DEFINITELY BE, YOU KNOW, INCLUDED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. 
          SURE. 
          I GOT IT. 
          AND I GUESS I KNOW WE'RE GOING THROUGH A ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND I JUST FELT LIKE MORE OF THOSE ASSETS SHOULD BE MORE MAYBE IN THAT PLAN, MORE OF A MARKETING STUDY THAN IT WOULD BE A COMP PLAN IS NOT A MARKETING STUDY. 
          IT'S, YOU KNOW, MORE OF A VISION FOR, YOU KNOW, WHERE THE CITY IS TRYING TO GO. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT WAS GOOD. 
          UH, CUSTOMER MCCURDY. 
          YES. 
          I, I WAS LOOKING AT THE SAME SLIDE. 
          UM, I SEE WE HAD THE, THE TREE PRESERVATION ORDINANCE ON THERE. 
          ARE YOU LISTING THAT AS A TOOL? IT'S A TOOL THAT WE CURRENTLY USE, BUT WHERE ARE YOU JUST REFERENCING THAT? OR WHEN YOU SAY WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO MAKE SOME MODIFICATIONS TO IT, THE MODIFICATIONS YES, WE ARE. 
          SO, YEAH, THESE ARE SOME OF OUR IMPLEMENTATION IMPLEMENTATION TOOLS THAT WE NEED TO AMEND IN ORDER TO BE RESPONSIVE TO THE GOALS AND STRATEGIES LISTED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, MY, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE EXISTING ORDINANCES IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST WELL, AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO, THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO. 
          UM, I, I GUESS I WANT TO SAY TWEAK, UM, WE WOULD LIKE TO REALLY GIVE A BIGGER, UM, FOCUS. 
          UM, WE CALL IT A TREE PRESERVATION ORDINANCE, BUT IN, YOU KNOW, IN, IN CERTAIN AREAS, FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU HAVE A, UM, A BUILDING, THEN, YOU KNOW, YOU AUTOMATICALLY DON'T HAVE TO MITIGATE FOR THAT. 
          AND SO WE JUST KIND OF WANT TO THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT HOW WE ENCOURAGE, UM, OR MAYBE I SHOULD EVEN SAY REQUIRE DEVELOPERS TO SAVE AS MANY TREES, ESPECIALLY IN THE MATURE AREAS. 
          I MEAN, THERE ARE SOME SITES, YOU KNOW, AND YOU'VE SEEN, WE'VE HAD LIKE TWO OR THREE OF THEM WHERE IT'S TOTALLY COVERED ENTRY. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, WE KNOW THERE'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE SOME GIVE THERE, BUT WE HAVE OTHER AREAS WHERE MAYBE THE SITE HAS MAYBE 30% TREE COVERAGE. 
          YOU KNOW, WE WOULD LIKE FOR THEM TO, INSTEAD OF PUTTING A TREE WHERE OUR BUILDING, WHERE THOSE TREES ARE LOCATED, YOU KNOW, PUT THE BUILDING ON THAT FLAT AREA. 
          AND RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO REQUIRE THEM TO DO THAT. 
          RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          WELL, I KNOW FOR EXAMPLE, I'VE GOTTEN, UH, YOU KNOW, SEVERAL COMMENTS ABOUT THE RECENT DEVELOPMENTS ALONG 67, YOU KNOW, IN THE NUMBER OF TREES THAT ARE BEING TAKEN OUT. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE DESTROYING ALL OF OUR, ALL OF OUR BEAUTIFUL EO, UH, UN UNTAINTED LAND AND, YOU KNOW, UH, FORESTRY AREAS. 
          AND, UM, BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT, UH, UH, THERE WERE SOME, SOME PARK FEES AND OTHER FEES ARE BEING PAID OUT OF THAT, THAT, THAT, UH, SHOULD HELP WITH PRESERVATION IN OTHER AREAS. 
          YEAH. 
          SO, UM, THOSE TWO DEVELOPMENTS THAT YOU'RE MENTIONING ACTUALLY ARE THOSE TWO, EXACTLY WHERE THEY HAD LIKE 99% TREE COVERAGE. 
          AND SO THERE WOULD BE NO OTHER WAY TO DEVELOP WITHOUT TAKING DOWN SOME OF THE TREES, HOWEVER, THEIR TREATMENT EDUCATION FEES, UM, WERE THREE TIMES THE HIGHEST WE'VE EVER HAD. 
          UM, SO FOR EXAMPLE, THE HIGHEST ONE I THINK WAS AROUND 350,000. 
          UM, THE SECOND ONE WAS AROUND 280,000 THAT'S. 
          THAT IS THE HIGHEST TRUE MITIGATION FEES THAT HAVE EVER BEEN PAID IN SCENARIO LIKE YOUR CUSTOMER GLOVER. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          YES. 
          HOW ARE YOU TODAY? GOOD. 
          AYE. 
          AYE. 
          I CAN SENSE THE EMOTION. 
          THIS IS VERY MUCH LIKE A BABY. 
          WHEN YOU PUT THAT TIMELINE TOGETHER, WE HAVE CARRIED THIS CHILD TO PERMISSION AND THIS IS IT. 
          AND I FEEL THE SAME WAY I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THIS DOCUMENT. 
          THIS DOCUMENT REFLECTS OUR CITY, EASTER IS COMING UP. 
          AND THE LAST THING WE WANT TO DO ON EASTER IS TO PRESENT THE BABY, BUT THE HAT CRICKET AND THE HAIR NOT DONE. 
          AND THERE'S JUST A FEW THINGS IN THIS DOCUMENT, THE POLICY AND CONTEXT ON POINT. 
          AND SO THERE, THERE'S JUST A FEW THINGS IN THIS DOCUMENT THAT I WOULD PREFER THAT WE JUST ADJUST THE VERBIAGE AS JUST VERBIAGE. 
          WHEN WE LOOK AT THE FRONT OF THE FIRST PAGE, IT'S A GREAT PICTURE. 
          I'M NOT JUST REALLY SURE. 
          WELL, LET ME STEP BACK. 
          UM, I TOOK SOME TIME TO GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE DOCUMENT AND I, I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS AND I WILL WORK HARDER GOING FORWARD. 
          SO THAT THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY PRIOR TO THIS COMING TO COUNCIL. 
          UM, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT FIRST PICTURE, IT DOESN'T EXACTLY PORTRAY AN OPEN FORWARD FUTURE OF UNBELIEVABLE 
          [00:40:01]
BELIEF. 
          IT'S MORE OF A DARK OMINOUS, BRIGHT PICTURE. 
          I'M JUST NOT REALLY SURE. 
          THAT'S THE FIRST PICTURE SOMEONE SHOULD SEE WHEN THEY LOOK AT A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          WE WERE VERY PROUD OF OUR MISSION, VISION AND VALUE STATEMENTS. 
          I WOULD REALLY LIKE THAT TO BE IN THE PLAN. 
          UM, WE HAVE A PICTURE OF THE GROUNDBREAKING OF HILL WITH DEVELOPMENT, AND THAT JUST SAYS GROUNDBREAKING HILLWOOD IS A MOMENTOUS OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR CITY, THAT WE SHOULD BLAZE TO THE, TO THE WORLD THAT HILLWOOD PARTNERS, UH, A DIVISION OF THE PAROLE, UH, UH, PAROLE, THE ORGANIZATION IS INVESTING IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          AND THAT'S REALLY MORE THAN JUST THE PICTURE OF US WITH SHOVELS. 
          UM, THERE'S ONE THING THAT REALLY ON PAGE 17 CITY OFFICIALS SHOULD AVOID NEAR TERM SHORT-SIGHTED DECISIONS TO MODIFY THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          WE CAN WORK THEM A LITTLE BIT BETTER AT ANY DECISION THAT I THINK COUNCIL WOULD MAKE, WHETHER IT'S TODAY OR TOMORROW WOULD NOT BE SHORT-SIDED BECAUSE WE WILL UTILIZE ALL THE TOOLS AVAILABLE. 
          WE COULD CHANGE THAT TO OFFICIALS SHOULD BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT MAKING. 
          SO WHEN YOU CHANGE THOSE WORDS, INFLECTIONS, IT MAKES THE DOCUMENT READ BETTER. 
          MY BACKGROUND IS MARKETING AND SALES. 
          I'VE BEEN IN MARKETING FOR OVER 35 YEARS. 
          I KNOW WHEN SOMETHING IS MARKETED POORLY AND THERE WAS MORE SOMETHING'S MARKETING. 
          GREAT. 
          THINK OF NEW COKE AND THINK OF DR. 
          PEPPER. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE FROM MARKETING IS NOT, THE ILLUSION IS NOT WORDING SOMETHING THAT'S NOT THERE. 
          I WANT THIS DOCUMENT, EVERY DOCUMENT THAT HAS OUR NAME ON THIS TO BE IN AMAZING DOCUMENTS SO THAT WHEN SOMEONE PICKS IT UP, EVEN IF THEY'RE WAITING FOR THE ORDINANCES, THEY WILL SEE, WOW, I WANT TO BE IN CEDAR HILL, THEY'RE BUILDING A HOSPITAL, THEY'RE BUILDING A CONCRETE BUILDING, UH, THE HILLWOOD UP ADDITION, OUR HOSPITALS, NOT IN THERE. 
          THAT WOULD BE, WE MAKE REFERENCE TO HAVING A MEDICAL COMMUNITY WITHIN THE DOCUMENT, BUT WE ALREADY HAVE IT. 
          SO IF WE PUT THAT IN THE DOCUMENT, THE NEXT STEP IS THE ANCILLARY BUSINESSES. 
          UM, ONE LAST THING ALSO, UM, WITH THAT FIRST PAGE, UH, WE CAN DO WITH THE MONUMENTS. 
          THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          WE HAVE A, I THINK THE PAGE SIX AND SEVEN, WE HAVE DOG WITH CANYON, BUT THERE'S A VERY OLD PICTURE. 
          IT DOESN'T HAVE THE ABOUT, ABOUT THE BOWEL CLONUS TRAIL. 
          LAST WEEK, I DROVE DOWN 1382 IN THE EVENING FOR THE FIRST TIME. 
          AND I SAW THE LOOKOUT. 
          IF ANYONE HAS SEEN THE LOOKOUT ILLUMINATED, IT IS PHENOMENAL. 
          IT IS AMAZING. 
          YOU'RE DRIVING UP 1382. 
          IT'S A DARK, THERE ARE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME. 
          AND LET'S SEE, AS IT RISES OVER A, THE PERIPHERY AND THE ILLUMINATED STRUCTURE, THAT'S AMAZING. 
          AND THAT SHOULD BE IN OUR DOCUMENT, THAT, THAT IF WE'RE LOOKING FOR A NIGHTTIME SHOT, THAT WOULD BE THERE. 
          UM, THIS, UM, I SUPPORT THIS DOCUMENT. 
          I BELIEVE WE SHOULD. 
          WE SHOULD, UH, WE SHOULD APPROVE THIS WITH THESE SIMPLE CHANGES IN WORDS. 
          UM, ON PAGE 1 36, SOMEONE SAID WHEN ITEMS ARE DISPLAYED IN FRONT OF STORES, TYPICALLY NOT CREATIVE OR ATTRACTIVE TO ADVERTISE THE STORES. 
          GOOD GOODS. 
          THESE DISPLAYS ARE USUALLY LIMITED TO CLEARANCE RACKS, SHOPPING CARDS, OUTDOOR BINS. 
          THAT'S LIKE ONE OF THE ONLY DESCRIPTIONS OF OUR RETAIL IN THIS HUNDRED AND 58 PAGE DOCUMENT. 
          I WOULD NOT WANT SOMEONE TO READ THIS DOCUMENT, THEN GO, THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ANOTHER DOLLAR STORE. 
          I WANT SOMEONE TO READ THIS DOCUMENT AND GO, WE SHOULD PUT AN HEB HERE. 
          WE SHOULD PUT A, A, AN UPSCALE ESTABLISHMENT, BUT THE, WE DON'T ASK FOR IT. 
          IF WE DON'T WAKE UP AND EXPECT GREATNESS, THEN WE'RE WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO BESTOW THAT ON US. 
          THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN CHANGE BECAUSE OF WHEN I THINK OF IT, MAYBE IT WAS ONE OF OUR FAMILY DOLLAR STORES. 
          VILLERS DOESN'T HAVE CLEARANCE ITEMS OUT THE MALL. 
          DOESN'T HAVE CLEARANCE ITEMS OUT TARGET DOESN'T KNOW, WHERE DOES WALMART EVEN HAS THEIR OUTDOOR ITEMS AND CLOTHES. 
          AND NEAT. 
          I WOULD REALLY HATE FOR THIS TO BE ONE OF THE ONLY RETAIL DESCRIPTIONS IN THIS DOCUMENT OF THE RETAIL OF OUR CITY. 
          WHEN WE'RE SO MUCH MORE, WHEN OUR DEAL, IT IS A HUB FOR DILLARD'S SEMI-ANNUAL SALE, I CAN'T GET IN THE STORE. 
          I PEOPLE CALLING ME SAYING, ARE YOU GOING TO THE DILLARD SALE? IT'S AMAZING. 
          THAT'S WHO WE ARE. 
          AND I JUST WANT THIS DOCUMENT TO BE A REFLECTION OF THE GREATNESS OF OUR CITY. 
          I WANT THIS DOCUMENT TO SHOW ALL THE WORK THAT YOU DID, YOU'RE CRYING BECAUSE IT'S IT'S OF YOU AND YOU'VE DONE AMAZING WORK. 
          AND I'M VERY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE. 
          AND I JUST WANTED THIS DOCUMENT TO REFLECT THE WORK THAT YOU AND EVERYONE THAT COUNCIL AND CITY STAFF HAS PUT TO HAVE PUT 
          [00:45:01]
INTO THIS. 
          SO I APPROVE THIS. 
          I THINK WE SHOULD GO FORWARD. 
          I JUST THINK WE NEED TO HAVE SOME MECHANISM TO MAKE SURE THAT ONCE THIS IS PRINTED AND ONLINE, IT REFLECTS OUR CITY BECAUSE IT'S NOT LIKE A TWEET WHERE WE CAN PULL IT BACK. 
          LIKE, UM, WAS IT THE MARCUS LAWRENCE WHO WATCHED THE COWBOYS AND PULLS BACK AND TWEET AFTER HE BAT BLASTS THE COWBOYS? WE CAN'T PULL THIS BACK. 
          I WOULD NOT WANT SOMEONE TO LOOK AT THIS DOCUMENT AND NOT SEE ALL THE PASSION OR THE GREATNESS OF OUR CITY AND, AND GIVE US SOMETHING THAT WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, THANK YOU FOR THOSE COMMENTS, COUNCILMAN GLOVER. 
          UM, I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO, UM, YOU KNOW, SIT AND TALK WITH YOU OR GET A COPY OF THE I'M AVAILABLE THAT WE CAN JUST SIT DOWN AND GO PAGE BY PAGE. 
          UM, AND SINCE YOU TALKED A LOT ABOUT THAT LAST COMMENT, I JUST WANT TO SAY, ESPECIALLY FOR THE AUDIENCE, UM, THAT PARTICULAR SENTENCE IS ACTUALLY, UM, IN COMPARISON TO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, IT'S SAYING, WELL, WE DON'T WANT THIS IN COMPARISON TO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR FOR THE MIDTOWN AND DOWNTOWN SECTION, BUT, YOU KNOW, YOUR POINT IS WELL MADE. 
          AND SO I'LL MAKE SURE WE STRIKE THAT. 
          W WE ALREADY HAPPENED THIS, IF YOU READ THIS, IF YOU SAYING YES, BUT I'M SAYING WE ALREADY HAVE THAT. 
          THAT'S AN OUTLIER. 
          YEAH. 
          WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, I THINK WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TWO DIFFERENT THINGS SO WE CAN WRITE, BUT THAT'S AN OUTLIER CORRECTED BY CODE. 
          WE ALREADY HAVE THAT. 
          WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE NEXT GENERATION STEWARDS. 
          WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE INNOVATIVE STORES THAT ARE LISTED IN HERE. 
          AND I JUST WOULD NOT WANT SOMEONE TO LATCH ONTO THIS ONE THING, BECAUSE THIS IS A POWERFUL NEGATIVE DESCRIPTION. 
          WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. 
          SO I'LL JUST MAKE SURE TO CLEAR UP THAT CONFUSION. 
          WE'LL JUST STRIKE THAT SENTENCE OUT ALL TOGETHER. 
          THAT'S PROBABLY THE EASIEST WAY TO HANDLE IT. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALLOW ME TO, YOU KNOW, TO STAY, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU AND CUSTOMER GLOBAL MAY GET TOGETHER, BUT WITHOUT THE CONSENSUS OF THE COUNCIL, I REALLY DON'T WANT TO TOO MANY CHANGES. 
          SO, UH, JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE, ON THE SAME PAGE WITH THAT, I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR CUSTOMER DANIELS. 
          YOU HAVE ANOTHER PRESENTATION TO MAKE. 
          SO I JUST WANT TO SAY YOU DID A GREAT JOB, BUT, UM, PERSONALLY, I STILL HAVE THIS FEELING, UH, PREFERRED SINGLE FAMILY, THAT ALL I LISTENED TO ALL OF THE, UH, DEVELOPERS AND I HAVE NOT HEARD A SINGLE ONE QUOTE, THE PRICE OF THEIR HOUSING THAT IS AFFORDABLE, BUT MOST OF OUR CITIZENS THAT WOULD LOVE TO BECOME HOMEOWNERS IN THEIR PRESENTATION. 
          SO EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TOO EXCLUSIVE. 
          SO I'M ASKING IF IT'S POSSIBLE, MAYBE THE NEXT, UH, ROUND OF DEVELOPERS COMING, THEY HAVE TO COME TO YOU FIRST, LET THEM KNOW THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE IN CEDAR HERE WOULD LOVE TO BE HOMEOWNERS, BUT THAT PRICES IS ABOVE THEIR HEAD. 
          EVERYTHING WAS 300,000 AND ABOVE. 
          I KNOW, UH, HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT WOULD LOVE TO BE HOMEOWNERS THAT CANNOT AFFORD THAT. 
          SO WE NEED SOMEBODY TO COME IN THIS CITY AND DEVELOP SOME AFFORDABLE HOMES THAT THEY CAN AFFORD. 
          SO THAT'S MY TAKE ON THAT. 
          EVERYTHING ELSE, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT. 
          I JUST HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. 
          LET, I MEAN, YOU COULD, THOSE WHO WANT TO PAY THAT PRICE. 
          I BID THEM WELL, BUT WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO WOULD LOVE TO BECOME HOMEOWNERS AND THEY CAN'T AFFORD IT. 
          SO WE NEED SOMEBODY TO COME IN THIS CITY AND BUILD SOME AFFORDABLE HOMES. 
          BUS. 
          YES. 
          THANKS. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          [4. Briefing on Planning development items.]
UH, NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS A BRIEFING ON PLANNING DEVELOPMENT ITEMS. YES. 
          I WILL TRY MY BEST TO GO AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE HERE. 
          SO THIS IS, LET ME GO BACK. 
          SO THIS IS AN APPLICATION ON YOUR AGENDA FOR PD ZONING FOR 184 TOWNHOUSES. 
          THIS IS THE LAST ONE. 
          AND SO, UM, THIS IS 184. 
          YOU MAY REMEMBER THE LAST ONE WAS 30. 
          THAT'S ALSO ON YOUR AGENDA TONIGHT FOR APPROVAL. 
          AND THEN WE HAD ANOTHER ONE FOR AROUND 126. 
          AND SO WE DO BELIEVE THAT ADDS, 
          [00:50:01]
UM, SOME OF THAT NEW HOUSING STOCK, UM, THAT IS A DIFFERENT OPTION OTHER THAN THE SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED, UM, THAT WE WERE MISSING. 
          AND SO AGAIN, UM, THERE ARE NO MORE, UM, THAT HAVE BEEN PROPOSED. 
          NO, NO MORE THAN A HOPPER. 
          THERE WAS A FOURTH ONE, BUT, UM, WE HAD SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THAT ONE. 
          SO, UM, THEY, THEY WON'T BE BRINGING THAT ONE FORWARD. 
          AND SO THIS IS THE LOCATION. 
          IT IS SOUTH OF WINTERGREEN, JUST ON THE, UM, EAST SIDE OF HIGHWAY 67. 
          AND SO THIS IS ACTUALLY PART OF A LARGER TRACT. 
          AND SO THE SUBJECT SUBJECT SITE IS ACTUALLY OUTLINED IN YELLOW. 
          IT'S ABOUT 55 ACRES. 
          AND THEN THERE ARE A LITTLE OVER 20 ACRES REMAINING TO THE NORTH THAT WILL REMAIN LOCAL RETAIL. 
          AND SO THIS AGAIN IS A PD. 
          UM, WHY DO WE LIKE PDS? UM, WELL, BECAUSE IT ALLOWS US TO GET DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN STANDARDS THAT ARE SPECIFIC FOR PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. 
          IT ALLOWS US TO ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE CONCERNS FROM ADJOINING NEIGHBORS. 
          UM, AND THEN IT ALSO ALLOWS FOR US TO, UM, HAVE SOME OF THESE PREFERRED SINGLE FAMILY ELEMENTS THAT WE OBVIOUSLY COULD NOT DO WITH STRAIGHT ZONING. 
          SO THIS IS THE PROPOSED CONCEPT PLAN. 
          UM, AGAIN, UM, THEY'RE REZONING TO APD DISTRICT, UM, IT'S 184 AND THAT SAYS 31, BUT I BELIEVE THAT SHOULD BE 55. 
          IS THAT 31? OKAY. 
          SO LET ME GO BACK. 
          SO WHEN I SAY AT 55 HERE, IT SHOULD HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN 31. 
          AND SO IT'S 184 AGAIN, SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED TO WELLINGS. 
          UM, ALSO I'M GOING TO TRY TO GO BACKWARDS HERE. 
          UM, THERE ARE ABOUT 9.7 ACRES OF OPEN SPACE. 
          5.1 OF THOSE ACRES ARE LOCATED, UM, ALONG THE CREEK. 
          AND SO WE WILL BE WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPER AND THE CREEK IS, UM, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE A LITTLE BUFFER THERE. 
          THE LITTLE BLUE AREA SHADED AREA IS THE CREEK. 
          AND THEN, UM, THAT LITTLE WINDING AREA BETWEEN THAT AND THE STREET IS THE PROPOSED TRAIL. 
          AND SO THAT ACTUALLY WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPER ON THAT BECAUSE WE WANT THAT TRAIL TO CONNECT TO THE, TO THE WIDE TRAIL. 
          AND SO THAT AREA WOULD, UM, BE DEDICATED TO, UM, THE CITY AND THEN THE REMAINING 4.6 ACRES OR INTERSPERSE THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT. 
          AND IT WILL BE OWNED AND MAINTAINED BY THE HOA. 
          AND SO FOR, UM, SOME OF YOU MAY REMEMBER THERE WAS ACTUALLY A RETAIL DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL ON THIS PROPERTY, AND IT'S BEEN PROBABLY OVER 10 YEARS AGO. 
          UM, THE ACTUAL, UM, IT WAS ACADEMY I BELIEVE, AND THE ACADEMY DECIDED NOT TO DEVELOP THIS SITE, BUT THIS WAS THE SITE PLAN, UM, THAT WAS INITIALLY SUBMITTED. 
          AND WHERE'S, YOU'RE SHOWING IT TO YOU JUST SO YOU CAN SEE HOW WE BELIEVE THIS PLAN IS ACTUALLY, UM, LESS THAN TENTS AND ACTUALLY BETTER, UM, FOR THE ADJOINING NEIGHBORHOOD AND ALSO IN TERMS OF THEIR TRAIL DEVELOPMENT. 
          AND SO WE WANTED TO PROVIDE YOU A QUICK COMPARISON, UM, BECAUSE YOU TYPICALLY ASK FOR THIS OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WITH THE PD FROM THE HIP BRIAN'S GROUP. 
          AND THAT WAS THE PD THAT WAS ON JOE WILSON ROAD, UM, BEHIND THE NEIGHBORHOOD WALMART. 
          SO I'M WITH THIS PARTICULAR AREA IN TERMS OF PARKING, UM, THEY'RE PROVIDING ROUGHLY THE SAME RATIO OF PARKING, BUT THE DIFFERENCE HERE, THEY STILL HAVE 45 PROGRAM OFF-STREET SPACES, BUT THEY HAVE AN ALLEY OR WE'RE IN, SO IT IS REENTRY WITH AN ALLEY. 
          UM, AND THEN THEY ALSO HAVE A STREET. 
          SO THIS PARTICULAR PRODUCT THAT THEY HAVE IS JUST DESIGNED THAT WAY. 
          SO WITH THIS STREET, UM, WE DID REQUIRE THEM TO DO 31 FEET AS OPPOSED TO THE STANDARD 27 FEET. 
          AND THAT WOULD BE, UM, TO ACCOMMODATE, UM, PARKING AND, UH, DROP OUT IN THE MIDDLE. 
          AND AGAIN, WE'VE ALSO TALKED, WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE OPEN SPACE AND SO, UM, REAL QUICKLY, WE WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW THAT TRAIL WOULD CONNECT. 
          AND SO YOU SEE THAT IT WILL CONNECT UP NORTH WITH THE CREEKS AT WINDMILL HILL, AND THEN ONE OF THE POPULATE PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH DEVELOPS, UM, THE CITY WOULD CROSS THE CREEK AND THEN CONNECT TO THAT PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH. 
          THESE ARE SOME OF THE BUILDING ELEVATION. 
          SO THESE ACTUALLY WERE NOT THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS THAT WERE INITIALLY SUBMITTED. 
          UM, BUT THE DEVELOPER, UM, DO WORK WITH US BECAUSE WE WANTED THEM TO ADD, UM, SOME STONE AND DO A FEW OTHER BUMP-OUTS. 
          SO, UM, THIS WAS THE RESULT. 
          [00:55:01]
OKAY. 
          SO, UM, THAT ENDS THAT PARTICULAR ITEM. 
          ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? OF COURSE THE DEVELOPER WILL BE DOING A PRESENTATION AS WELL, BUT YOU KNOW, THIS IS STAFF'S PORTION OF THAT. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          ANY QUESTIONS FOR US? OKAY. 
          UM, DO YOU WANT ME TO DO LIBRARY AND PARK REAL QUICKLY? UH, W I GUESS MY QUESTION FOR YOU, UH, I SEE THEY HAVE A PROPOSED DOG PARK, BUT THAT'D BE THE FIRST DOG PARK. 
          SO ACTUALLY THERE WAS ONE PROPOSED IN THE HUFFINES FOR THE JOE WILSON PROJECT AS WELL. 
          OKAY. 
          NOW THESE ARE, YOU KNOW, THEY, THESE WILL BE PRIVATE. 
          AND SO I'M REAL QUICKLY LIBRARY AND SIGNATURE PARK. 
          AND SO ANNE TRAIL. 
          AND SO THE LIBRARY SIGNATURE PARK, UM, IS BEHIND US BEHIND THE GOVERNMENT OFFICE. 
          AND THEN, UM, NORTH OF PIONEER TRAIL, UM, IS THE CONTINUATION OF THE TRAIL. 
          AND THIS IS HOW ALL OF THAT PLANS TO CONNECT TO HILLSIDE VILLAGE AND TO THE GOVERNMENT CENTER. 
          THIS IS THE PROPOSED LAYOUT FOR THE ACTUAL PARK. 
          SO, OR FOR THE LIBRARY. 
          AND YOU SEE THE OUTDOOR AIR GATHERING AREAS FOR THE SIGNATURE PARK AROUND IT. 
          THERE WILL BE 78 PARKING SPACES ON SITE, BUT OF COURSE ALL THE PARKING THAT'S HERE AT THE CITY, WE'LL ALSO ADD TO THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES, AND WE ARE ALSO GOING TO BE WORKING WITH SOME OF THE BUSINESSES ACROSS THE STREET TO GET, UM, PARKING AGREEMENTS, UM, FORMAL PARKING AGREEMENTS, AS WELL AS I'M WORKING ON SOME, UM, CROSS ACCESS, EASIER CROSS ACCESS, UM, SOUTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF PIONEER TRAIL AND UPTOWN BOULEVARD. 
          AND, UM, THIS IS JUST SHOWING YOU A CLOSER UP PICTURE OF THE TRAIL SIDE OF THE DEVELOPMENT, IN ADDITION TO AN ADDITIONAL 21 PARKING SPACES THAT WILL BE ACCESSED OFF OF NORTH CEDAR HILL ROAD. 
          THIS IS, UH, I BELIEVE, UM, ONE OF YOU WAS ASKING ABOUT SOME OF THE LANDSCAPING AND SEAN WOULD BE THE BEST PERSON TO COMMENT ON SOME OF THIS, BUT THIS IS, UM, AN OVERLAY SHOWING YOU THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPING FOR THE SITE. 
          UM, AND IN TERMS OF TREATMENT NEGATION. 
          SO QUITE A FEW TREES ARE BEING PRESERVED. 
          THERE ARE SOME TREES THAT ARE BEING PLANTED, AND WE ARE ALSO UTILIZING THAT CONSERVATION AREA, UM, IN ORDER TO, UM, PROVIDE SOME OF THAT MITIGATION SO THAT THERE AREN'T ANY ADDITIONAL, UM, MITIGATION FEES REQUIRED. 
          AND THIS IS THE PROPOSED BUILDING, ELEVATION. 
          YOU ALL ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS, OF COURSE. 
          UM, BUT THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN IT. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THESE ARE THE RENDERINGS. 
          OKAY. 
          AND SO THAT CONCLUDES MY PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          UH, ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. REFILL ON THIS? UM, I'LL TELL YOU, UM, CHALLENGE ODDS. 
          I WAS ON PLANNING AND ZONING BACK IN 2006. 
          AND YOU KNOW, NOW BEING IN THIS ROLE, THIS CAPACITY, NOW I WAS ENTERTAINED BY IT BY ALL OF THIS. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE DOES THIS PRESENTATION VERY GREATLY. 
          OH, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, UM, I'LL SEE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL, BUT, UH, IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS WE JUST HOLD IT FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING. 
          UM, DR. 
          ERIC FISH, WOULD YOU LIKE TO PRESENT, ARE YOU PRESSED FOR TIME, OR WOULD YOU MIND PRESENTING DURING THE RECORD COUNSEL? OKAY. 
          IF YOU DON'T MIND, WE ONLY GOT ONE MINUTE LEFT FOR A SEVEN O'CLOCK. 
          SO IF I COULD JUST ANSWER IT TO THE COUNCIL MEETING AND THEN GO THROUGH THE AGENDA AND THEY BRING YOU UP TO IT IN YOURS. 
          SO COUNCIL AND SOMEONE COULD JUST PULL THAT AND THEN THEY GET TO CONSENT. 
          UH, THEN WE'LL HAVE THE PRESENTATION AND GO FROM THERE. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO WITH THAT COUNCIL, THAT IS, UH, THAT CONCLUDES OUR AGENDA FOR THE BRIEFING SESSION. 
          I ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR ADJOURNMENT MOTION TO ADJOURN. 
          I DO HAVE A MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND.
