Parker Survey, Abstract No. 1227, City of Grand Prairie, Tarrant County, Texas, zoned LI, and addressed as 1141 Avenue J East]

EVENING, COMMISSIONERS.

THIS IS ITEM NUMBER THREE STP DASH 26 DASH ZERO FOUR DASH 0 0 7.

IT IS A SITE PLAN FOR UNITED GLASS AND MIRROR IN CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT ONE.

THIS IS THE REQUEST.

IT IS A SITE PLAN FOR A MANUFACTURING FACILITY LOCATED AT 1141 AVENUE J EAST.

IT IS ZONED, UH, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, UM, AND IT IS 2.971 ACRES.

HERE'S AN AERIAL VIEW.

YOU CAN SEE, UM, THE NORTH, IT'S, UH, KIND OF SURROUNDED BY JOHNSON CREEK.

THERE IS, UM, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL PRETTY MUCH ALL AROUND IT.

UM, THERE IS SOME, UH, RESIDENTIAL ALONG THE HIDDEN BROOK DRIVE OVER HERE.

JUST TO NOTICE, THIS IS A PHASED, UM, DEVELOPMENT.

SO THIS IS RIGHT NOW THE PHASE ONE SITE PLAN.

IT IS GONNA BE FOR A 22,500 SQUARE FOOT, ONE STORY GLASS MANUFACTURING WAREHOUSE AND DISTRIBUTION FACILITY.

IT IS LOCATED WITHIN 200 FEET OF A DESIGNATED 100 YEAR FLOODPLAIN.

IT DOES MEET ALL OF THE DENSITY AND DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS, AND IT DOES MEET ALL OF THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS.

HERE IS THE LANDSCAPE PLAN THAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING.

YOU CAN SEE THE TREES.

UM, AND JUST TO POINT OUT, THERE ARE SOME ORNAMENTAL TREES ALONG HERE BECAUSE OF A 15 FOOT UTILITY EASEMENT ALONG HERE, UM, WHICH KIND OF PREVENTS THE CANOPY TREES BEING PLANTED THERE.

BUT THE APPLICANT IS BEATING ALL OF THE LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS HERE.

THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS.

THE, UH, SOUTH ELEVATION IS THE MAIN ENTRANCE.

YOU CAN SEE IT'S RIGHT HERE.

IT IS BRICK STONE VENEER AND METAL PANELS.

AND THEN WE HAVE THE NORTH ELEVATION, THE WEST ELEVATION, AND THE EAST ELEVATION AS WELL.

THE APPLICANT IS NOT REQUESTING ANY VARIANCES.

THE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, UH, REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS APPROVAL WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITION THAT TREES, WHICH HAVE BEEN UTILIZED FOR MITIGATION, UH, CREDIT IN PHASE ONE, CANNOT BE COUNTED TOWARDS THE LANDSCAPING OR MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS FOR PHASE TWO OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ? UH, YES.

UH, VERY INFORMATIVE IS MY QUESTION IS MORE AROUND, YOU KNOW, THE, IS THIS, IS THE APPLICANT A CURRENT, DOES HE HAVE AN OFFICE OR A PLACE IN GRAND PRAIRIE? I THOUGHT, I THOUGHT I I HEARD YOU SAID THAT EARLIER.

YEAH, SO THE UNITED GLASS, UM, AND MIRROR IS A COMPANY ALREADY IN, UH, GRAND PRAIRIE.

THE APPLICANT IS HERE.

YOU CAN ASK THE QUESTION.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? GREAT JOB IN THE PRESENTATION.

SPEAKER CARDS, WE DO HAVE ONE CARD FOR THIS ITEM FROM WALTER NELSON WHO, UM, WISHES TO NOTE HIS SUPPORT OF THIS ITEM.

HE'S AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY.

I THINK WE DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR WALTER.

HELLO.

STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE, SIR.

WALTER NELSON, 30 12 HOBBLE COURT.

GRAND PRAIRIE? YES.

COULD YOU GO INTO DETAIL ABOUT, UH, THE REASONING FOR THIS? UH, MY CLIENTS OWN THIS LAND.

HE WANTED TO BUILD ON IT IN 2020, AND THERE'S A STORM SEWER, SO HE GOT, COULDN'T GET IT LOCATED, AND HE SIGNED A NEW LEASE.

WELL, HIS NEW LEASE IS NOW UP AND THEY'VE SOLD HIS BUILDING AND HE'S GOTTA MOVE.

HE'S OWNED THIS LAND, SO HE WANTS TO MOVE HIS BUILDING.

HE'S UP OFF OF AVENUE ON HUNDRED NINTH STREET AT LAKE AVENUE.

M HE'S UP IN THE, A LITTLE BIT FURTHER NORTH IN THIS.

HE'S OWNS THIS LAND.

HE WANTS TO BUILD HIS OFFICE HERE, BUT HE IS IN GRAND PRAIRIE.

HE'S BEEN IN GRAND PRAIRIE FOR A LONG TIME.

VERY

[00:10:01]

GOOD QUESTION.

COMMISSIONER CHAPMAN.

MR. NELSON, IS IT GONNA BE A SHOWROOM? NO.

WHAT THEY DO IS BASICALLY THEY PROVIDE SHOWER ENCLOSURES AND MIRRORS FOR HOMES THAT ARE BEING BUILT.

SO THEY, WHEN A HOME BUILDER COMES IN AND IS PUTTING IN 600 HOMES, THEY WILL DO THE SHOWER ENCLOSURES IN ALL 600 HOMES.

THEY ALSO DO 'EM FOR INDIVIDUALS, BUT THE PRIMARY BUSINESS IS MIRRORS AND SHOWER ENCLOSURES FOR NEW HOUSES.

AND I WAS, I, I WAS KIND OF HOPING THAT IT WOULD BE A FRONT LITTLE AREA THAT I COULD GO BROWSE AROUND , THEY WILL HAVE THAT, AND YOU CAN LOOK AT PICTURES AND BLAH, BLAH, BUT MOST OF THE PEOPLE, IT'S LIKE, MOST OF THEIR BUSINESS IS NEW HOMES.

AND PULTE DOESN'T HAVE THAT DISCUSSION ON INDIVIDUAL HOUSES.

, THANK YOU, SIR.

SO THIS IS A PART OF PULTE? NO, IT'S, IT'S UNITED GLASS, BUT THEY, THEY WORK FOR, THEY DO LARGE SUBDIVISIONS.

THEY DO EVERY HOUSE IN THE SUBDIVISION.

SO THEY GET HIRED BY THE, SO HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN IN BUSINESS? THAT I DO NOT KNOW.

I KNOW, IT'S, I KNOW IT'S LIKE 25 YEARS PLUS.

VERY GOOD.

OKAY, ONE LAST QUESTION.

GO AHEAD, CHAIR.

WILL HE BE HIRING ANY NEW FOLKS? UH, MR. NELSON, DO YOU KNOW RIGHT NOW THE HOUSING BUSINESS IS IN A SLUMP, SO, YOU KNOW, AS EVERYBODY KNOWS.

YEAH.

AND SO THEY'RE NOT BUILDING AS MANY NEW HOUSES.

SO INITIALLY, NO.

BUT WHEN THE HOUSING BOOM ENDS, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF LOTS BEING PROPOSED IN THIS CITY RIGHT NOW.

AND SO I'M GOING TO SAY YES, BUT IT'S WHEN THE HOUSING COMES BACK.

YES, SIR.

AND ONE LAST QUESTION.

IS HE A COMMUNITY PARTNER WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT? I DO NOT KNOW THAT.

I WAS GONNA ASK THAT QUESTION.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? THANK YOU.

COMMISSIONER? YES, MA'AM.

THANK YOU FOR COMING.

NO OTHER SPEAKER CARDS? THIS IS DISTRICT ONE, WHICH IS COMMISSIONER JOHN FDU KO'S AREA.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? Y'ALL HAVE ANY CONCERNS? I THINK IT'S PRETTY CUT AND DRY AS TO WHAT WE HAVE HERE.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

FOR SURE.

UH, I MOVE TO A CLOSED PUBLIC DISCUSSION AND MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER THREE STP 2 6 0 4 0 0 7 SITE PLAN, UNITED GLASS MAYOR, AND APPROVE THIS ITEM.

I HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR FOR ITEM THREE, UH, TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER FRANK GONZALEZ AS PER UH, DRC RECOMMENDATION, THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CHAPMAN.

YES.

NEXT CASE PLEASE.

THANK YOU FOR CATCHING THAT.

UM, ITEM NUMBER FOUR IS ZON DASH 26 DASH ZERO FOUR DASH 0 0 1 1.

[4. ZON-26-04-0011 - Zoning Change/Concept Plan - IKEA Phase 3 (City Council District 2). Zoning Change to amend Planned Development District 456 to a new Planned Development District, modifying the total number of multi-family units allowed from 225 to 252 on 10.088 acres. Lot 5, Block 1, Mayfield Road Retail Addition 1, City of Grand Prairie, Dallas County, Texas, zoned PD-456 within the SH 161 Corridor Overlay District, and addressed as 1151 Ikea Way]

IT IS A ZONING CHANGE CONCEPT PLAN FOR IKEA PHASE THREE IN COUNCIL DISTRICT TWO.

UM, THIS IS A ZONING CHANGE CONCEPT PLAN REQUEST.

THIS IS, THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 1151 IKEA WAY.

YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT THERE.

UM, THE REQUEST IS TO AMEND PD 4 56 TO MODIFY THE TOTAL NUMBER OF MULTIFAMILY UNITS, WHICH ARE PERMITTED IN THAT PD FROM 225 TO 252.

IT IS ON 10.088 ACRES.

HERE IS THE AERIAL VIEW.

UH, YOU CAN SEE THE LOCATION THERE IN YELLOW.

UM, NORTH IS UNDEVELOPED, BUT SOUTH YOU CAN SEE THERE'S ALREADY MULTI-FAMILY EXISTING.

YOU CAN SEE THE IKEA OVER HERE IN THE BLUE.

UM, AND THEN SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ACROSS, UH, ROBINSON.

ON THE EAST SIDE.

HERE IS THE CONCEPT PLAN THAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING.

UM, THE PROPOSED PD IS TO INCREASE MULTI-FAMILY AND HYBRID HOUSING UNITS TO 252.

THAT WOULD BRING OUR MAXIMUM DENSITY TO 24.98 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

UM, JUST TO SHOW YOU, THERE IS IKEA WAY RUNNING RIGHT ALONG THE WESTERN, UH, BOUNDARY.

AND THEIR MAIN ENTRANCE IS HERE OFF OF IKEA WAY.

AND THEN THEY HAVE A LITTLE ACCESS ROAD ON THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE, THE, THE LOT, AND THEY HAVE A, ANOTHER SECONDARY ACCESS RIGHT THERE.

UM, THE APPLICANT, UM, IS WILLING TO PROVIDE ENHANCED LANDSCAPING SCREENING, LANDSCAPE SCREENING BETWEEN THE INTERNAL PARKING AREA AND THE NORTHEAST DETENTION POND.

SO KIND OF BETWEEN THIS POND AND THIS PARKING AREA HERE.

UM, IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE THE VISUAL IMPACT FROM ROBINSON ROAD, HERE ARE SOME CONCEPT ELEVATIONS THAT THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED.

THESE ARE FOR THAT MULTIFAMILY BUILDING.

NUMBER THREE RIGHT HERE.

UM, SO THE TOP ONE IS THE FRONT ELEVATION.

YOU KIND OF SEE FROM THE INTERNAL SIDE.

AND THEN THE BOTTOM ONE IS THE ELEVATION YOU WOULD SEE FROM IKEA WAY.

THE APPLICANT IS NOT REQUESTING ANY VARIANCES, AND THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS APPROVAL WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITION.

THAT SOLID CONTINUOUS LANDSCAPE SCREENING SHALL BE PROVIDED AND MAINTAINED ALONG THE DETENTION POND AREA ADJACENT TO THE PARKING SPACES.

ALL PLANT MATERIAL FOR THE SCREEN SHALL HAVE A MINIMUM HEIGHT

[00:15:01]

OF SIX FEET AT THE TIME OF PLANTING TO FORM AN OPAQUE VISUAL, UH, BARRIER SCREENING THE PARKING.

UH, DOES COMMISSIONER, ANY QUESTIONS? THANKS, HENA.

ENA, UH, QUESTION FOR YOU IS HOW MANY FLOORS IS THIS, UH, BUILDING? SO THEY ARE PROPOSING FOUR STORIES FOR THE MULTIFAMILY, AND I BELIEVE THE, THE HYBRID HOUSING IS GONNA BE TWO STORIES, THE ONES ALONG ROBINSON ROAD, TWO STORIES.

SO IN PROXIMITY TO THE, UH, NEIGHBORHOODS.

CAN YOU GO BACK TO THAT SLIDE? I JUST, YEAH.

THINKING ABOUT THE ELEVATION, YOU KNOW, TWO AND THREE STORIES AND GOING RESIDENTIAL AND HOW THAT YEAH.

SO THE TOWN HOMES WOULD BE TWO STORIES, AND THEN THE MULTI-FAMILY IN THE BACK ARE GONNA BE FOUR STORY.

I GUESS MY QUESTION IS CONCERNS ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT NOBODY CAN SEE ANYBODY ELSE'S DWELLING? NO.

CAN'T, UH, THAT SHOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE.

UH, THEY PURPOSELY PUT THE HYBRID HOMES ALONG THE FRONTAGE OF ROBINSON ROAD TO KIND OF ADDRESS THAT.

UM, AND THAT WAS A STAFF COMMENT.

SO THOSE HOMES FACING ROBINSON WILL LOOK LIKE YOUR NORMAL SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOME.

IT'S JUST BUILT TO RENT.

GREAT.

I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.

COMMISSIONER.

I DO BELIEVE IN THE APPLICANT'S, UM, THEY HAVE A LITTLE, UH, PRESENTATION.

THEY MIGHT SHOW SOME 3D IMAGES OF THAT.

COMMISSION IS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER CHARE? YES.

UM, DO WE HAVE A, A AN IDEA OF WHAT TYPE OF APARTMENTS THESE WILL BE? SO ARE THESE GONNA BE LUXURY APARTMENTS? LIKE SAY ON A SCALE OF ONE TO 10, YOU KNOW, IS THERE EVEN A SCALE LIKE THAT FOR THE TYPE OF APARTMENTS? 'CAUSE THIS IS GOING IN NEXT TO TOPGOLF.

IT'S IN A PREMIER LOCATION.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS, IS THEY ALREADY HAVE APPROVAL TO DO THE 2 25 UNITS.

SO IT'S HAPPENING, BUT TO GO TO THE 2 52 IS THE REASON WHY IT'S HERE.

IS THAT CORRECT? UM, SO I THINK THE TYPE OF APARTMENTS PROBABLY THE APPLICANT CAN ADDRESS.

YEAH, THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? THANK YOU.

GREAT PRESENTATION.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THIS NEXT SLIDE, WE REALLY WANTED THIS PROJECT TO FEEL LIKE A CONNECTED RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY.

SPEAKER CARDS.

WE HAVE SEVERAL CARDS FOR THIS ITEM.

UH, THE APPLICANT, CARLY SIMS WISHES TO NOTE HER SUPPORT AND WAS JUST TO SPEAK ON THE SIDE.

WELCOME.

HI.

STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.

MY NAME IS CARLY SIMS. I'M WITH MC THREE DEVELOPMENT GROUP, 100 NORTH MITCHELL ROAD, MANSFIELD, TEXAS.

GOOD EVENING CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK TONIGHT.

THIS, THIS SITE IS CURRENTLY ZONED FOR 225 MULTIFAMILY UNITS, AND TONIGHT WE'RE REQUESTING AN ADDITIONAL 27 UNITS FOR A TOTAL OF 252 UNITS.

AMAZING.

BEFORE I GET INTO THE SITE, I JUST WANT TO SAY WE ARE NOT NEW TO GRAND PRAIRIE.

THIS WILL BE OUR FOURTH PROJECT IN THIS EPIC 1 61 PREMIER CORRIDOR, INCLUDING THE SUTHERLAND AND DUVAL IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THIS SITE, GRAND PRAIRIE HAS BEEN ONE OF OUR STRONGEST MARKETS AND OUR MOST SUCCESSFUL MARKETS.

SO WE BELIEVE IN DELIVERING, YOU KNOW, PUTTING OUR BEST FOOT FORWARD HERE.

WE ALSO WANT TO CHALLENGE OURSELVES TO DELIVER A BETTER PRODUCT THAN WE'VE DONE BEFORE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE RIGHT NEXT TO ONE ANOTHER.

SO ON THIS FIRST SLIDE, YOU SHALL NOTICE THAT WE HAVE A PLAN WITH THE APPROVED ZONING REQUIREMENTS OF 225 UNITS.

AND THEN RIGHT NEXT TO IT, WE ALSO HAVE A PLAN WITH THE REQUESTED 252 UNIT INCREASE.

WHEN YOU COMPARE THE TWO, WHAT STANDS OUT IS HOW CONSISTENT THE OVERALL CHARACTER OF THE DEVELOPMENT REMAINS.

FROM A VISUAL STANDPOINT, THE IMPACT IS VERY MINIMAL, BUT THE REFINEMENTS WE'VE MADE ALLOWED US TO CREATE A STRONGER AMENITY HUB, BETTER PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY, AND A MORE INTENTIONAL COMMUNITY DESIGN.

I HAVE THESE BUILDINGS LABELED A, B, AND C, SO I WILL SLOWLY WORK FROM THERE.

BUILDING A, WHICH IS BUILDING FOUR IN THE TOP CORNER HERE, WAS RE REORIENTED TO PRO IMPROVE SITE FLOW.

SO WE JUST FLIPPED THAT BUILDING FOR YOU TO NOTICE.

UM, BUILDINGS B, WHICH ARE BUILDINGS ONE AND THREE WERE SLIGHTLY ADJUSTED TO IMPROVE SITE EFFICIENCY.

AND THEN LETTER C SHOWS THAT WE HAVE RELOCATED OUR PUTTING GREEN TO A MORE CENTRAL LOCATION.

THAT RELOCATION ALLOWED US TO CREATE A LARGER, MORE CONNECTED AMENITY AREA THAT BETTER TIES THE RECREATIONAL SPACES, GATHERING AREAS AND PEDESTRIAN PATHWAYS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNI COMMUNITY.

[00:20:01]

THIS PROJECT WILL INCLUDE, UM, I WISH I COULD CIRCLE, BUT THIS PROJECT WOULD INCLUDE A RESORT STYLE SWIMMING POOL, A PRIVATE FITNESS AREA.

WE WILL ALSO HAVE A PUTTING GREEN THAT'S KIND OF TUCKED AWAY THERE.

IF YOU CAN SEE, WE'LL HAVE PICKLEBALL COURTS, THAT'S THAT BLUE AREA IN THE BACK.

AND WE'LL ALSO HAVE AN OUTDOOR MOVIE LAWN AND SOME COMMUNITY GATHERING SPACES FOR THE RESIDENTS.

AND WE WILL HAVE A DOG PARK WITH UPGRADED AGILITY EQUIPMENT HERE, INCLUDING A PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL MARKET FOR THE RESIDENTS.

SO CREATING SOME EASIER ACCESS FOR HOME GOODS OR FOODS.

WHEN WE STARTED DESIGNING THIS PROJECT, WE KEPT COMING BACK TO THE FACT THAT THE SITE SITS DIRECTLY BEHIND TOPGOLF, YOU KNOW, ALONG ONE OF THE CITY'S PREMIER CORRIDORS.

SO WE FELT THE ARCHITECTURE SHOULD REFLECT JUST THAT.

ON THESE RENDERINGS, YOU SHOULD NOTICE SOME ENHANCED MATERIALS, STRONG ARCHITECTURAL DE DETAILING, ARTICULATED ROOF LINES, AND A LEVEL OF DESIGN THAT CREATES A MUCH STRONGER VISUAL PRESENCE.

AND TO ANSWER ONE OF THE QUESTIONS ASKED EARLIER, SIMILAR TO THE DUVAL AND THE SUTHERLAND, WE TYPICALLY BUILD CLASS A MULTIFAMILY PROJECTS HERE.

SO THIS WILL REPRESENT A LUXURY CLASS, A MULTIFAMILY APARTMENT ALONG ROBINSON ROAD.

THE ZONING REQUIRES A TOWN HOME PRODUCT.

SO WE SAW THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE AN ATTRACTIVE RESIDENTIAL FRONTAGE FOR THIS CORRIDOR.

THESE TWO STORY TOWN HOMES HELP ESTABLISH THE NEIGHBORHOOD FEEL THROUGH THE FRONT PORCHES ATTACHED TO CAR GARAGES, AND THEY WILL ALL HAVE INDIVIDUAL YARDS.

AND YOU CAN NOTICE THE ENHANCED ARCHITECTURE ON THESE AS WELL.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO US AS DEVELOPERS THAT THE HOMES ALONG ROBINSON ROAD CREATE A COMFORTABLE TRANSITION WHILE MAINTAINING THE CHARACTER AND QUALITY THAT IS EXPECTED IN THIS CORRIDOR.

ON THE NEXT SLIDE, I AM JUST DOUBLING WHAT STAFF.

WE WORKED WITH STAFF THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS, AND BASED ON STAFF'S FEEDBACK, IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE INCORPORATE SOME ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING BUFFERS TO BETTER SCREEN THE PARKING ALONG ROBINSON AND CREATE A MORE ATTRACTIVE STREET SCAPE.

SO WE WILL COMPLY WITH THOSE REQUESTS.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE BELIEVE THIS PROJECT REFLECTS THE QUALITY THIS LOCATION DESERVES.

IT BUILDS ON THE SUCCESS OF THE SUTHERLAND AND OF DUVAL, AND IT CONTINUES OUR LONG-TERM INVESTMENT IN THE CITY OF GRAND PRAIRIE AND HELPS US DELIVER A BEST IN CLASS COMMUNITY ALONG THIS 1 61 PREMIER CORRIDOR.

WE BELIEVE THE ADDITIONAL 27 UNITS HELP MAKE THAT POSSIBLE.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION TONIGHT, AND RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

I AM HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS AND I CAN WAIT UNTIL AFTER CITIZEN COMMENTS AS WELL.

UH, I THINK WE CAN ASK QUICK QUESTIONS NOW.

UH, THIS IS A GREAT PRESENTATION.

COMMISSIONERS AND COMMISSIONER, UH, GONZALEZ? YES.

HAVE YOU, UH, REACHED OUT TO THE NEIGHBORS THAT YOU'RE COMING, THAT THEY HAVE ANY FEEDBACK? ANY, ANY OPPOSITION? WE HAVE NOT REACHED OUT TO ANY OF THE NEIGHBORS, BUT WE'D BE HAPPY TO LISTEN TO ANY OF THEIR REQUESTS.

WE UNDERSTOOD WHEN WE WEREN'T THE INITIAL DEVELOPERS ON THIS PROJECT, SO WE UNDERSTOOD WHEN THIS CASE WAS PRESENTED, THAT THERE WAS SOME CONCERNS WITH MORE APARTMENTS AND SOME JUST COMING INTO THIS AREA.

BUT WE BELIEVE THAT SINCE WE'VE BEEN IN THIS CORRIDOR ALREADY, WE BELIEVE THAT WE ARE THE BEST FIT TO MAKE THIS PROJECT WELL AND TO COMPLIMENT WHAT IS GOING IN THIS AREA NEAR IKEA.

I SEE YOU HAVE A LOT OF AMENITIES, SO I'M ASSUMING THERE'S A LOT OF SPACE.

IT, I MEAN, IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT FOR A SMALL CONGESTED AREA, BUT A PICKLEBALL AND A, YOU KNOW, FULL SIZE POOL, ALL OF THAT IS GONNA FIT IN THERE.

YES, MA'AM.

WITH THE ADDITIONAL 27 UNITS, WE ARE ABLE TO MAKE THOSE AMENITIES WORK AND INCREASE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF OUR RESIDENTS.

UM, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE TO FEEL LIKE THEY COULD BE IN A WALKABLE COMMUNITY THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY FEEL LIKE AN APARTMENT, CREATE SOME RESIDENTIAL INTERACTION AND HAVE THE NEIGHBORS KIND OF STAY AND HANG OUT FOR A WHILE, MEET YOUR NEIGHBORS, WALK TO TOP GOLF, WALK TO IKEA, MAYBE GO TO BJ'S AND PICK UP SOME GROCERIES.

SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR AMENITIES ALSO COMPLIMENT ALL OF THE GREAT THINGS THAT ARE GOING AROUND.

VERY GOOD.

VERY INFORMATIVE.

HOW, HOW DO YOU HANDLE PARKING IN, IN THE, IN THIS INSTANCE YOU WERE, YOU'RE ADDING 27 MORE UNITS, BUT HOW DOES THE PARKING WORK THAT YOU KNOW? SO ACCORDING TO OUR ARCHITECTS, WE ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CITY OF GRAND PRAIRIE, WHICH I BELIEVE ARE TWO PARKING SPACES PER DWELLING UNIT.

PERFECT.

COMMISSIONER JACKY? YES.

IS THE SUTHERLAND OR THE DUVALL, UH, HOW LONG HAVE THOSE CURRENTLY BEEN THERE? SO THE SUTHERLAND, I BELIEVE, WAS BUILT IN 2018, I THINK, AND THEN THE DUVALL WAS COMPLETED IN 2023.

UM,

[00:25:01]

UM, THEY'VE BEEN THERE FOR A WHILE AND WE CURRENTLY STILL OWN AND MANAGE TO DO ALL AS WELL.

AND, UH, WHAT CAPACITY WOULD YOU SAY THEY'RE AT? PERCENTAGE WISE? THEY'RE BOTH, UH, 90, OVER 93% FULL STABILIZED, SO THEY'RE NOT FULL QUITE WELL.

WE ALWAYS LEAVE ROOM FOR A 7% VACANCY RATE OKAY.

IN ALL OF OUR MULTIFAMILY UNITS.

SO WE DO CONSIDER 93% FULLY OCCUPIED AND STABILIZED.

FAIR ENOUGH.

UM, WHAT MADE YOU COME BACK FOR THE EXTRA, UH, ROOMS? BECAUSE WASN'T THIS TRIED BEFORE AND DIDN'T IT FAIL? IT WAS, BUT WE WEREN'T A PART OF THAT INITIAL ZONING CASE.

THIS IS KIND OF OUR FIRST BITE AT THE APPLE HERE.

BUT TO GIVE ALL OF THESE AMENITIES AND THIS QUALITY OF LIFE HERE, THAT IS THE MAIN REASON WE ARE COMING BACK TO ASK FOR THE ADDITIONAL UNIT.

WE CAN'T MAKE THIS DEAL POSSIBLE, THESE TYPES OF AMENITIES AND BRING THIS TYPE OF QUALITY TO OUR RESIDENTS WITH JUST THE 225 UNITS.

SO WE CAME BACK TO ASK FOR MORE.

SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT IF WE CAN'T DELIVER ON THE EXTRA UNITS, EXCUSE ME, UM, THAT IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO OFFER YOUR RESIDENTS A, A GOOD QUALITY OF LIFE WITHOUT THAT EXTRA ROOM SPACE? WELL, THEY WILL GET A GOOD QUALITY OF LIFE.

THEY JUST WON'T GET ALL OF THESE REALLY NICE AMENITIES.

WE MIGHT HAVE TO CHALK IT UP TO A POOL IN A FITNESS CENTER, BUT IN ORDER TO, UH, GIVE THEM BETTER AMENITIES, MORE OUTDOOR SPACES, MORE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD FEEL, IT IS BEST IF WE HAVE THE 27 EXTRA UNITS.

NOW ARE YOU BUILDING THIS ON EXTRA SPACE? IS BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT LIKE WHERE THE ROOM WHERE WHY THERE WOULDN'T BE ROOM FOR THESE AMENITIES? IF THERE'S NOT THE EXTRA ROOMS, I WOULD THINK YOU WOULD HAVE MORE ROOM LEFT OVER.

SO WE, WHEN WE REORIENTED THE SITE AND MOVED SOME OF THE BUILDINGS AROUND AND, UH, SWAP THINGS AROUND, WE WERE ABLE TO ADD AND ADD THE PUTTING GREEN TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION, GET, MEET OUR PARKING REQUIREMENTS, AND ALSO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF AMENITIES IN THIS SPACE.

YOU HAVE VERY GOOD QUESTIONS.

COMMISSIONER CHAPMAN.

HELLO MS. SIMS. GOOD EVENING.

HI.

UM, YOUR PERCENTAGE OF AFFORDABLE OR WORKFORCE HOUSING? UH, THE, THESE WON'T BE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

THESE WILL BE A MARKET RATE PRODUCT.

AND YOU WILL OWN AND MANAGE THE ENTIRE, YOUR COMPANY WILL OWN AND MANAGE THE THE PROPERTY? YES, MA'AM.

AND WHAT IS THE LENGTH OF TIME, THE LONGEST LENGTH OF TIME THAT YOU'VE ACTUALLY HELD A PROPERTY? NOT PER SE IN GRAND PRAIRIE, BUT ANYWHERE.

UH, TYPICALLY WE HOLD FOR FIVE YEARS AND WE SEE IF IT'S A GOOD TIME TO SELL THE ASSET, BUT CURRENTLY FOR TO DUVAL IT'S BEEN A LOT LONGER THAN FIVE YEARS AND WE STILL OWN THAT ASSET, BUT THE MINIMUM FIVE YEARS.

WHAT IS THE PRICE POINT FOR THE, FOR THESE PARTICULAR, UH, UNITS THAT YOU'RE BUILDING? WELL, TODAY WE HAVE THIS PROJECT PERFORMED AT $2 A SQUARE FOOT, GIVING, YOU KNOW, PRICES FOR I WOULD SAY, LET'S SAY TOWN HOMES SPECIFICALLY $3,100 A MONTH.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER CHAPMAN? ONE LAST ONE.

I'M SORRY.

UM, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN, UM, OUR BRIEFING, BUT THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR UNITS, BECAUSE I'M, I'M CURIOUS IN YOUR REORIENTATION IF YOU LOST SQUARE FOOTAGE LIKE IN THE A HUNDRED FIFTY NINE ONE BEDROOMS, THE 83 2 BEDROOMS, ARE THE SQUARE FOOTAGES REMAINING THE SAME IN THOSE UNITS? YES, MA'AM.

SO, AND WHAT IS THAT, DO YOU KNOW THE TWO BEDROOM? UM, I, I THINK THE TWO BEDROOMS, OUR BIGGEST TWO BEDROOM WOULD BE ABOUT 14, 10 PER SQUARE FOOT.

UH, WE JUST INCREASED A NUMBER OF ONE BEDROOM HOMES ON THIS APARTMENT COMPLEX AS WELL.

AND THE ONE BEDROOM UNITS, THEY'RE RANGING FROM WHAT THEY'RE RANGING FROM EIGHT? UH, WELL, I THINK 600 TO ABOUT 8 68.

ANY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UH, I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT DENSITY SEEMS LIKE YOU, LIKE, LIKE COMMISSIONER JACK SAID, YOU'RE BRINGING IN MORE APARTMENTS, UM, THAT'S GONNA BE A LITTLE BIT MORE CROWDED.

SHOULD BE WELL, FROM OUR DESIGN STAND STANDPOINTS AND FROM THE DUVAL, THE DUVAL HAS, I THINK 265 UNITS AND IT'S ABOUT ON SIMILAR ACREAGE.

CORRECT.

AND, UM, SO I JUST, I THINK DENSITY, IT'S VERY COMPLIMENTARY AND EQUIVALENT TO WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY IN THIS AREA.

AND WE ARE PARKED WELL AND WE, I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY ISSUES FROM RESIDENTS OVER THERE AS WELL.

[00:30:01]

YES, SIR.

COMMISSIONER CHARI.

UM, ONE MORE QUESTION.

WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THE RESIDENTS OF GRAND PRAIRIE THAT ARE, UM, JUST KIND OF TIRED OF SEEING APARTMENTS BUILT UP, YOU KNOW, CONSISTENTLY, AND IT'S NOT JUST Y'ALL, IT'S, IT HAPPENS, RIGHT? LIKE THERE'S LANDOWNER RIGHTS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THOSE PEOPLE THAT FEEL LIKE THEY DON'T WANT TO SEE ANOTHER APARTMENT APPROVED BY OUR COUNCIL OR, YOU KNOW, WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THOSE FOLKS? WELL, I WOULD PROBABLY SAY THAT OF COURSE THIS PROPERTY IS ALREADY ZONED FOR THE 225 UNITS MM-HMM .

SO WE ARE, WE'RE COMING WHETHER OR NOT WE GET THIS APPROVAL, UM, FOR THESE UNITS.

BUT I DO THINK THAT THE QUALITY OF PRODUCT THAT WE DO, BILL, WE ARE VERY CONSIDERATE OF THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE NEARBY.

WE UNDERSTAND THE FATIGUE WITH MULTIFAMILY, ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WHERE IT'S JUST KIND OF ONE AFTER ANOTHER.

AND WE ARE NOT JUST A PUT, YOU KNOW, PUT IT UP, GO VERTICAL AND LEAVE AND NOT CARE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY.

WE ARE DEEPLY INVESTED IN THE CITY OF GRAND PRAIRIE AND WE JUST HOLD, WE RESPECT THEIR, UM, I GUESS WE RESPECT THEIR CONCERNS, BUT BEHIND SITTING BEHIND SOMETHING SO TALL, LIKE TOPGOLF, THIS MULTIFAMILY PROJECT MAKES THE MOST SENSE IN THIS AREA AND IT PROVIDES THE DENSITY THAT WILL BE NEEDED TO KEEP ALL OF THAT RETAIL GOING, UM, AND VIBRANT.

AND ONE LAST QUESTION, UM, SINCE Y'ALL, UM, ARE SO INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY, LIKE, AS YOU MENTIONED, UM, CAN YOU LIST SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THE DEVAL AND THE SOUTHERN HAS DONE IN THE COMMUNITY? WELL, I, I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT, UH, DIRECTLY, BUT I KNOW THAT OUR, ALL OF OUR LEASING TEAMS ARE VERY ACTIVE.

THEY DO PARTNER WITH LOCAL RETAILERS NEARBY AND MAKE SURE TO GET OUR RESIDENTS INVOLVED.

AND IF THEY'RE NOT INVOLVED, OUR LEASING TEAM AND OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM IS ALSO INVOLVED IN THE CITY OF GRAND PRAIRIE.

YEAH, GOOD QUESTION.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

GREAT PRESENTATION.

ANY OTHER SPEAKER CARDS? UH, JANINE CARNEGIE WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.

WELCOME.

STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.

LIVING COLOR .

UM, YES.

JANINE CARNEGIE 8 5 4.

BRIAN DRIVE IN GRAND PRAIRIE.

UM, I JUST REALLY JUST HAD A QUESTION.

I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS QUITE THIS FORMAL.

UM, I LIVE IN BRYAN DRIVE DIRECTLY ACROSS RIGHT NOW.

THERE IS A BJ'S ACROSS THE STREET.

THE SIGN FOR BJ'S IS THE STREET.

MY ONLY CONCERN IS, AND THANK YOU MS. SIM, THAT PRESENTATION WAS VERY INFORMATIVE.

SOME OF MY QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED THROUGH THAT.

UH, THE ENTRANCE TO THE FACILITY WHERE I AM, UM, EITHER LIVE ON BRIAN AND THE OTHER STREET IS CROSSLAND.

CROSSLAND OR THE ONLY TWO STREETS THAT GO FROM CARRIER DIRECTLY TO ROBINSON.

MY CONCERN IS THE TRAFFIC AND IF THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ENTRANCE TO THE APARTMENT, THE TOWN HOMES, I THINK THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID ARE GOING TO BE ON ROBINSON.

IF THERE'S GONNA BE AN ENTRANCE THERE ON ROBINSON, UM, WHICH WOULD BE DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM WHERE I'M, I'M TWO HOUSES IN FROM ROBINSON ON BRYANT.

LIKE I SAID, THERE'S A BJ'S RIGHT THERE.

AND WHEN I RECEIVED THE INITIAL INFORMATION I SAW, I DID LOOK IT AT THAT, THERE'S A SQUARE RIGHT THERE.

SO I'M NOT SURE.

SURE.

WE'LL, WE'LL LET THAT BRETT HANDLE THAT BRETT.

SO THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT DOES HAVE AN ACCESS ROAD THAT'S OPPOSITE BRIAN, UH, ON ROBINSON DRIVE.

NOW, WHEN WE DID THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS BACK IN 2023, THAT WAS SOMETHING WE SPECIFICALLY LOOKED AT.

WE TRIED TO MEASURE IF THERE WAS EXISTING TRAFFIC THAT WAS CUTTING THROUGH ON BRIAN MM-HMM .

UM, NOW I HAVEN'T, UH, I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO FULLY GO THROUGH THAT TIA AGAIN BECAUSE THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WE HAD ALREADY APPROVED.

UM, WE COULD CERTAINLY GO BACK AND TAKE A LOOK AT THAT, BUT AT THE TIME WE DID NOT SEE ANY, UH, SIGNIFICANT DISTRIBUTION GOING THROUGH BRIAN OVER TO CARRIER THAT WE DIDN'T FIND A LOT, UH, OF THE EXISTING TRAFFIC DOING THAT.

UM, SO WE FELT THAT THE TIME THAT IT, UM, WASN'T SOMETHING THAT NEEDED A DIRECT, UH, SOLUTION TO BE ADDRESSED.

UM, BUT WE WILL SAY THAT WITH THAT THE APARTMENTS WILL HAVE AN ACCESS OFF IKEA WAY, WHICH THEN COULD GO STRAIGHT TO MAYFIELD TO GET TO THE SIGNAL.

AS THEY'RE LOOKING TO GET TO 1 61 AND TO GO NORTH, UM, THEY COULD GO JUST SOUTH DOWN TO I 20.

SO WE DON'T ANTICIPATE THE, THE, A VAST NUMBER OF RESIDENTS GOING EAST ON BRYAN TO GET THE CARRIER.

WE DO EXPECT MAJORITY OF THE TRAFFIC TO GO ONE OF THOSE OTHER ARTERIAL ROUTES INSTEAD OF THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

ON ROBINSON, SO YOU WOULD NOT HAVE SEEN A LOT OF TRAFFIC GOING THROUGH BRIAN, THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THEM TO GO THROUGH THERE.

YEAH, I ONLY MENTIONED THAT BECAUSE IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF DJS WE SAW A LOT MORE TRAFFIC IN OUR STREET.

UM, THE APPEARANCE OF OUR STREET WAS SOMEWHAT DAMAGED IN THAT, I THINK IT WAS SOME OF THE TRUCKS AND SOME OTHER THINGS.

MY NEIGHBORS WERE VERY CONCERNED AND EXPRESSED.

AND THAT IS A CONCERN ABOUT THAT.

AND IN 20, IN 2023, BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING

[00:35:01]

NOW THERE IS, THERE'S BJ'S YOU CAN GO THAT WAY.

AND NOW WITH ALL THE OTHER APARTMENTS THAT, THAT IS A VERY, VERY GOOD QUESTION.

I MEAN THAT QUESTION, A STATEMENT YOU MADE ABOUT THE, THE TRAFFIC MM-HMM .

AS WELL AS THE, THE ROADS 'CAUSE THAT IS IMPORTANT.

THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT.

THANK YOU FOR COMING.

MICHELLE FRANKLIN 33 17 CATHEDRAL DRIVE.

UM, MICHELLE FRANKLIN, UH, WISHES TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION OF THIS ITEM.

THANK YOU FOR COMMENTS.

STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.

GOOD EVENING.

UM, I LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS DIRECTLY BEHIND BJ'S.

UM, MANY OF THE QUESTIONS I HAD THIS EVENING WERE ADDRESSED BY MS. SIMS, UM, AND SUGGESTIONS THAT I HAD WERE ADDRESSED.

I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT SHE STATED THAT UNLESS THEY GET THE APPROVAL FOR ADDITIONAL UNITS, THEY CAN'T HAVE ALL THE AMENITIES IN THEIR COMPLEX SEEMS UNFAIR TO THE RESIDENTS.

BUT, UM, I DON'T LIVE THERE, BUT JUST THOUGHT I'D VOICE THAT I AM CONCERNED WITH THE TRAFFIC.

UM, I ADDRESSED YOU GUYS TWO YEARS AGO, THE CITY COUNCIL AS WELL ABOUT THE TRAFFIC UP AND DOWN ROBINSON ROAD.

UM, THE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESIDENTS THROUGH TOWN HOMES OR APARTMENTS CREATES MORE TRAFFIC.

UM, I WORKED WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT A COUPLE YEARS AGO ON GETTING THE UH, SPEED TRAILER SET UP ON ROBINSON RIGHT OUTSIDE MY NEIGHBORHOOD ON AT BRENTWOOD.

IT'S BEEN THERE FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW.

UM, THE TRAFFIC IS STILL HORRENDOUS AS FAR AS SPEED.

UM, PEOPLE ARE CONSTANTLY GOING PAST THE 50 MILE AN HOUR LIMIT THAT FLASHES THE RED AND BLUE LIGHTS.

UM, I WAS TOLD A COUPLE YEARS AGO WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE ENTRANCE BEHIND MY FENCE TO GET INTO THE BACKSIDE OF THE COMPLEX, AND I KNOW THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT, BUT IT'S ALL TRAFFIC RELATED.

UM, THAT THERE WOULDN'T BE 18 WHEELERS GOING THROUGH THERE, OR GUESS WHAT 18 WHEELERS ARE CONSTANTLY CUTTING THROUGH GOING BACK THERE, WHICH WILL THEN PROBABLY END UP BEING INTO THE NEXT TRACT OF DEVELOPMENT WITH THE NEXT RETAIL CENTER.

UM, SO I, I JUST HAVE CONCERNS WITH THE TRAFFIC.

UM, THE ZONING SIGN THAT WAS PUT UP FOR THIS PRESENTATION, I DIDN'T SEE IT TILL LAST WEEK BECAUSE IT'S BURIED IN WEEDS.

SO I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT'S BEEN THERE.

UM, I WASN'T NOTIFIED BY MAIL, BUT PROBABLY BECAUSE I LIVE FURTHER DOWN ROBINSON ROAD MM-HMM .

BUT HAD I NOT SEEN THAT SIGN, I PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS SITUATION.

UM, BUT AGAIN, UH, I'M ONLY HERE TO SPEAK ON TRAFFIC AND THE ADD ADDITIONAL RESIDENTS THAT ARE COMING INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND I WILL CONTINUE TO SPEAK ON TRAFFIC, UM, AND ASK THE CITY AGAIN ABOUT THE, UM, RETAINING OR NOT RETAINING WALL, BUT LANDSCAPING WALL THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE INSTALLED AS EACH TRACK IS FINISHED.

WHICH I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE START YET FOR BEHIND BJ'S, I'M STILL GONNA ADVOCATE FOR, UM, WALL ON MY SIDE OF ROBINSON ROAD MM-HMM .

BECAUSE THE NOISE IS TERRIBLE.

UM, OUR HOMES ON THIS STRETCH OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IN THAT SECTION, UM, IS WHERE WE HAVE OUR BEDROOMS, OUR BATHROOMS, OUR, OUR OUR LIVING AREAS.

UNLIKE SOME OF THE OTHER RESIDENCES FURTHER DOWN ROBINSON ROAD WHERE IT'S THE SIDE OF THEIR HOUSES MM-HMM.

THEY'RE SET BACK, IT'S THEIR GARAGES.

MM-HMM.

SO MAYBE THEY DON'T HEAR AS MUCH NOISE.

MM-HMM.

I HEAR THE FANS AT TOP GOLF CONSTANTLY.

SO, UM, I'M JUST, WE, WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU STATE THAT.

BRETT, CAN YOU ADDRESS THAT? ANYTHING MAYBE CONSIDERING LOOKING INTO THE, UH, THE TRUCKS AND ALL OF THAT AND THE SPEED AGAIN WITH THAT? I REALLY CAN'T, I REALLY COULDN'T SPEAK ON THE SPEEDS FOR ROBINSON ROAD.

AND THEN IN REGARDS TO TRUCKS WITH BJ'S, UH, I REALLY COULDN'T SPEAK ON THAT IN RELATION TO THIS PROJECT THAT WOULD, I CAN GIVE YOU MY CARD AND MY CONTACT INFORMATION IF YOU WANNA TALK, UM, SEPARATELY ABOUT THAT.

WE CERTAINLY CAN.

UM, AGAIN, IT, IT WOULDN'T BE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THIS PROJECT.

RIGHT? IT, IT IS AND I REVIEWED THE VIDEO, UH, BEFORE I CAME, UM, WHERE WE, I BROUGHT UP THE, THE TRUCKS AND THE, THE TEAM MENTIONED, OH, IT'S NOT LIKELY THAT THERE WILL BE VERY MANY TRUCKS USING ROBINSON ROAD, BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE.

SO THAT, THAT IS A CONCERN FOR ALL OF US.

I HAD THAT SAME QUESTION IN THE BOARD BRIEFING MYSELF WITH REGARD TO HOW THIS IS GONNA IMPACT, UH, THE EXISTING RESIDENTS THERE, YOU KNOW, WITH THE TRAFFIC.

SO IT'S, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THAT IS COMMERCIAL PROPERTY SO THEY CAN'T DO THAT.

IT'S, AND THAT'S

[00:40:01]

UNDERSTOOD.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN ALL LIVE TOGETHER SOMEHOW.

BUT IT IS I IMPORTANT AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO REALLY SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO IMPROVE THAT, TO TRY TO MAKE IT, YOU KNOW, BETTER FOR EVERYBODY BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT HAVING ANY REST WITH ALL THE NOISE.

IT'S A PROBLEM.

YEAH.

AND JUST LIKE THE RESIDENT, THE, THE LADY OFF OF BRIAN, UM, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HAS A CUT THROUGH FROM CARRIER.

TO, UH, ROBINSON, THAT CAN TAKE YOU RIGHT INTO THAT TURN LANE TO GET TO THE BACKSIDE OF BJ'S AND THEN THE INCOMING RETAIL BUSINESS THAT WILL BE NEXT DOOR.

SO, WELL WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO CONTINUE TO TRY TO WORK THROUGH THIS, BUT I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU CAME 'CAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE HEAR FROM YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

UM, ISABELLE WOOD WISHES TO SPEAK OR SORRY, WISHES TO NOTE HER OPPOSITION BUT DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK AND WE HAVE NO FURTHER CARDS.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

JUST A REMINDER TO THE COMMISSION, UM, THAT YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE ZONING REQUEST AND THE PD AMENDMENT REQUEST FOR THIS PROPERTY AS IT PERTAINS TO THE MULTIFAMILY, I UNDERSTAND THAT IT COULD CHANGE THE DYNAMICS GIVEN THE OTHER OTHER DEVELOPMENTS, UM, WITHIN THAT AREA.

BUT JUST A REMINDER THAT, UH, YOUR CONSIDERATION IS FOR THIS ITEM THAT IS ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

THIS IS, UH, DISTRICT TWO.

WOULD THERE WOULD BE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS? COMMISSIONER JERY? NO, I THINK I'M READY TO MAKE A MOTION.

UM, GIVEN THE, UM, CHANGES AND THINGS IT'S GONNA HAPPEN.

I THINK THAT, UM, I DON'T THINK IT WOULD'VE MADE IT THIS FAR IF THEY DIDN'T ALREADY HAVE SOME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS.

SO I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE, UM, OR TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND VOTE TO APPROVE, UM, ZONING, UH, CHANGE ZON DASH 26 DASH ZERO FOUR DASH 0 0 1 1 WITH, UH, DRC APPROVAL AND RECOMMENDATIONS.

I SECOND THAT I HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO APPROVE ITEM FOUR BY COMMISSIONER CHARI AND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ AS PER DRC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ZON 2 6 0 4 0 0 1 1.

THAT BEING THE LAST CASE, UH, THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
