[00:00:05]

OKAY, I'VE GOT 5:30. WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CALL THIS MEETING FOR THE PLANNING AND ZONING.

MEETING TO ORDER. WE CALLED TO ORDER, AND WE DO HAVE A QUORUM, AND WE'RE GOING TO GO TO ITEM

[ITEM 1: Consider and take appropriate action regarding the approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission Special Meeting Minutes from March 18, 2025.]

ANY QUESTIONS COMMISSIONERS? HEARING NONE. I'LL ENTERTAIN A VOTE TO APPROVE.

[ITEM 2: Consider and take appropriate action regarding the approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes from April 1, 2025.]

I MOVE, WE APPROVE THEM. OKAY. I'VE GOT A MOTION TO ACCEPT FROM COMMISSIONER MASON WOODRUFF.

I NEED A SECOND. SECOND. I'VE GOT A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER SHELBY.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO THE PUBLIC HEARING PART OF THE MEETING NOW.

[ITEM 3: WAV-25-0001/Nature Creek Reserve Consider and make a recommendation to the City Council pursuant to the City of Decatur Subdivision Ordinance, Section 702: Major Waivers; regarding a waiver request to modify the tree survey requirement on the 200.447-acre property located at 1800 N US Hwy 81-287 Business. (Waiver Application – Nature Creek Reserve, Kyle Gill)]

THE COMMISSIONERS WILL RESERVE ALL QUESTIONS UNTIL AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED AND THE DISCUSSION ITEM IS OPENED.

OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO OPEN UP ITEM NUMBER THREE IN THE TIME NOW IS 532.

LISA. GOOD EVENING. LISA HANNON PLANNING DIRECTOR.

SO ITEM NUMBER THREE, WAV-25-001 NATURE CREEK RESERVE.

I'D LIKE TO ENTER OUR STAFF REPORT INTO THE RECORD IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE.

SO, THIS IS A, WE HAVE TREE SURVEY REQUIREMENTS PER OUR SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE, SECTION 107.8.

IT REQUIRES A TREE SURVEY FOR THE ENTIRE PROPERTY FOR ALL PRELIMINARY PLAT SUBMITTALS.

HOWEVER, IN OUR ORDINANCE IN SECTION 702, IT DOES ALLOW FOR A WAIVER REQUEST.

SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARE. SO THEY THE PROPERTY, AS YOU KNOW, AT NATURE CREEK RESERVE IS A LITTLE OVER 200 ACRES.

THEY ARE REQUESTING TO WAIVE THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE ENTIRE SITE TO SURVEY FOR THE TREES AND ARE SUGGESTING SIX FOUR ACRE PLOTS FOR A TOTAL OF 24 ACRES. SO THERE ARE SEVERAL FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED.

THESE ARE BASED OUT OF OUR SUBDIVISION CODE, THE PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THE ORDINANCE, WHERE IT DOES ALLOW THE APPLICANT TO DIFFER FROM ANY OF THE SPECIFIC STANDARDS. IT ALLOWS THE WAIVER REQUEST PROCESS.

THEY ASK FOR THE NATURE OF THE PROPOSED LAND USE AND EXISTING LAND USE.

AND AS WE KNOW, THEY'RE PROPOSING 694 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNITS.

OPEN SPACE. RECREATION SPACE CURRENTLY EXISTING IS A STATE LIVING AND AGRICULTURE.

OTHER FACTORS ARE THE NUMBER OF PERSONS RESIDING OR WORKING IN THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AT 694 RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNITS PROPOSED.

THERE'S NO COMMERCIAL COMPONENT PROPOSED FOR THIS PROJECT.

ANY EFFECT ON PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, WELFARE, INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRAFFIC? THE REQUEST IS JUST TO REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE TREE SURVEY AREA.

THE MAJORITY OF THE EXISTING TREES WILL BE AFFECTED BY ANY OF THE CLEARING AND GRADING AND INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION THAT IS PROPOSED WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT.

PROPER DRAINAGE IS STILL REQUIRED TO BE MAINTAINED DURING AND AFTER CONSTRUCTION, NOT TO AFFECT ANY OF THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES, SPECIAL CONDITIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES. THE TOPOGRAPHY IS PRETTY ROUGH OUT THERE.

IN PLACES, IT FALLS APPROXIMATELY 100FT FROM THE RAILROAD TRACKS TO BUSINESS 287, AND REQUIRING THE ENTIRE SITE TO BE HAVE A TREE SURVEY COULD CREATE UNDUE HARDSHIP. THE WAIVER NECESSARY FOR PRESERVATION ENJOYMENT OF THE PROPERTY.

THE WAIVER WOULD ALLOW THE THE DEVELOPER TO SURVEY THE SIX CROSS SECTIONS THAT WE'VE ALL IDENTIFIED FOR FOUR ACRE PLOTS.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE DETRIMENTAL TO ANY PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY OR WELFARE OF THE PUBLIC NOT INJURIOUS TO OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE AREA.

IT WILL NOT AFFECT FUTURE SUBDIVISIONS, AND THE HARDSHIP IS NOT A MERE INCONVENIENCE.

THE SIZE AND TOPOGRAPHY OF THE PROPERTY TO MAKE MAKES A FULL SURVEY VERY CHALLENGING.

THE DEVELOPER HAS AGREED TO SURVEY SIX FOUR ACRE CROSS SECTION PLOTS THROUGH THEIR PROPERTY.

AND THESE PLOTS WERE THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED ON THE MAP.

IN THE RED SQUARES ARE PRETTY HEAVILY WOODED AREAS.

[00:05:04]

THE DEVELOPER IS HIS GOAL, AND INTENT IS TO PRESERVE THE TREES ALONG THE CREEK AREA.

THIS IS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, SO THERE ARE DESIGN STANDARDS.

EACH RESIDENTIAL LOT WILL HAVE A MINIMUM OF TWO TREES INSTALLED.

SO THIS IS WITH 694 LOTS. IT'S GOING TO REPLACE ALMOST 1400 TREES ON THE SITE.

WE SENT OUT PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATIONS. 49 PROPERTY OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED.

WE HAVE ZERO RESPONSES ACTUALLY AS OF TODAY. AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE WAIVER REQUEST, AND IT IS AN ACTION ITEM REQUIRED TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OR DENIAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ONLINE WISHING TO SPEAK? NO. DO WE HAVE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, IT'S KYLE GILL, 6117 MARYMOUNT ROAD IN FORT WORTH.

WE DO HAVE THIS REQUEST IN FRONT OF YOU. PRIMARILY BECAUSE THE TOPOGRAPHY ON THIS SITE IS CRAZY.

SO FROM THE RAILROAD TRACKS, OUR SITE FALLS 100FT FROM THERE TO BUSINESS.

287. SO. ESSENTIALLY THE EQUIVALENT OF A TEN-STORY BUILDING.

SO IN OUR GRADING PLAN, IN ORDER TO DEVELOP THE SITE, THERE'S JUST NO WAY WE CAN SAVE THESE TREES.

IT'S YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT. WE WILL HAVE I GUESS TIM CAN SPEAK TO SOME OF THE ENGINEERING BEHIND ALL THIS, BUT THERE WILL BE YOU KNOW, PROBABLY A TEN, 12 FOOT RETAINING WALL THAT RUNS ALONG THE RAILROAD TRACK BECAUSE WE HAVE TO LOWER THE SITE. SO, IN ORDER TO DO THAT, OBVIOUSLY THE TREES HAVE TO GO.

SO, I'M NOT SURE WHAT OUR END GAME IS IN DOING ANY PORTION OF A TREE SURVEY.

BECAUSE THE GRADING PLAN IS JUST GOING TO REQUIRE THAT THESE TREES ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE REMOVED.

AND THAT'S WHY WE PUT IN THE PD TO ESTABLISH AN EXTRA TREE PER LOT.

SO, WE'RE PLANNING TWO INSTEAD OF ONE, JUST TO TRY TO ACCOMMODATE GETTING THE TREES BACK IN THE AREA ONCE THE SITE IS FULLY DEVELOPED. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANYONE. NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE.

JIM WELCH WITH WELCH ENGINEERING, 6253 MEADOW LAKES DRIVE, NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS.

AGAIN, JUST TO FOLLOW UP WITH WHAT KYLE'S INDICATED THAT THIS SITE IS HEAVILY ROUGHED.

AREA 100FT FALL ACROSS THE SITE TRYING TO MAINTAIN THIS CITY'S STANDARDS AS FAR AS GRADING AND GRADING REQUIREMENTS.

TYPICALLY, WHEN YOU CONSTRUCT A LOT FROM THE CURB LINE TO THE BACK OF THE LOT, IT USUALLY INCREASES ABOUT A 1.5 SLOPE ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK SIDE.

WELL, IN CERTAIN AREAS, WHEN YOU HAVE A LOT TO 120FT DEEP, SOME AREAS WHERE IT'S ABOUT ALMOST A 13 FOOT RISE OR FALL, DEPENDING ON WHICH DIRECTION YOU'RE GOING. SO, THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ABUNDANCY OF RETAINING WALLS IN THIS AREA.

TRY TO, YOU KNOW, TO PRESERVE WHAT WE CAN ON GRADIENT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS. SO, I MEAN IT'S GRADING CRITERIA OR PRESERVE THE TREES.

SO, IT'S KIND OF BALANCED. I MEAN THERE'S SOME GENERAL AREAS THAT WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO SAVE THE TREES ALL ALONG THE CREEK.

THERE'S SOME BEAUTIFUL TREES AT THE ENTRANCE. AS YOU IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA AS WELL, WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO SAVE AS MANY AS THOSE AS WELL. BUT ALL OUTSTANDING MAJORITY OF TREES WILL BE HAVE TO BE CUT DOWN TO IN ORDER TO GRADE THIS SITE PROPERLY.

AND AGAIN, THERE'LL BE A LOT OF RETAINING WALLS IN PORTION.

SO, TIM THANK YOU KYLE. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? IF THERE'S NO ONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK, THEN THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED AT 5:40.

SO, WE CAN ASK QUESTIONS. COMMISSIONERS. IS THIS CORRECT THAT YOU EXPECT TO REMOVE IN THE VICINITY OF 1300 TREES? PROBABLY MORE THAN THAT. THAT'S WHAT WAS I SEEN FINDING SEVEN.

NO, THERE AT THAT. WHAT THEY WILL DO IS THEY WILL REPLACE.

WELL, OKAY. SO, THEY'RE GOING TO WHAT THEY REMOVE OKAY.

[00:10:05]

TREES WOULD GET REPLACED AFTER THE OTHERS ARE REMOVED.

OKAY. I'M JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THE FACTS. I THINK THERE ARE QUITE A FEW TREES ON THE FAR EAST END OF THIS PROPERTY.

UP WHERE THE CLOSE TO THE CROSSING FOR TRINITY STREET, ACROSS THE RAILROAD TRACKS.

ARE THOSE TREES EXPECTED TO BE? I'M NOT SURE WHETHER THERE ARE ANY LOTS PLANNED UP THERE OR IF THAT ENDS EVEN DEVELOPABLE.

YEAH, WE'RE THE POINT IS ALONG THE RAILROAD TRACKS WHERE THE ACCESS LOOP IS UP ONTO 380 AND TRINITY STREET, SHOWN AS GREEN SPACE THAT IS SHOWN AS GREEN SPACE.

SO THOSE TREES, THEY WELL, DEPENDING ON HOW THEY HAVE TO GRADE IT TO PRESERVE DRAINAGE AND MAKE SURE THE DRAINAGE IS CONSISTENT.

IS THERE ANY PLAN TO TEAR PART OF THIS SO THAT SOME OF THE LOTS WILL BE UP HERE AND THEN TEAR IT DOWN, AND THEN THE LOTS WILL BE LOWER AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

I GUESS THE ENGINEERS, I'LL HAVE TO DEFER THAT TO THE DEVELOPER'S ENGINEER.

YEAH. TIM, JUST RESTATE YOUR NAME. TIM WELCH.

WELCH ENGINEERING, IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A QUICK LITTLE EXHIBIT HERE TO HELP YOU ANSWER YOUR QUESTION TOO, AS WELL. THAT'S MUCH BETTER.

YES, ROGER. YOU HAVE CRAYOLAS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. SO, AS YOU CAN TELL.

YEAH. DOWN HERE IS WHERE I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF TREES.

THAT'S RIGHT. I SEE THEM ALL THE TIME. NO. NOT HERE.

GOING BACK TO COMMISSIONER BEFORE THAT POINT HERE IS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT OVER ABOUT HIGHWAY 380 AND THE RAILROAD TRACKS.

THAT'S A NATURAL CREEK THROUGH THAT AREA RIGHT THERE.

SO, EVERYTHING THAT'S OUTSIDE THE LINE, YOU CAN SEE THE FULL CIRCLE, THE SQUARES WHERE WE HAVE TREES THAT PRETTY MUCH THOSE WILL BE ALL REMOVED IN A SENSE.

I MEAN, THERE'S GRANTED THERE'S SOME OTHER AREAS WILL BE REMOVED AS WELL. BUT THE OVERALL CREEK AREA, WE'RE STAYING OUT OF THE CREEK. WE'RE STAYING ON THE FLOODPLAIN. THOSE WILL ALL BE MAINTAINED IN NATURAL CONDITIONS ARE SHOWN.

AGAIN. PARDON MY CONCERN. MY QUESTION. NOT REALLY A CONCERN.

I'M JUST TRYING TO PICTURE WHAT THIS IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

ARE THE STREETS GOING TO FALL SO THAT YOU'VE GOT SOME LOTS UP HERE IN THE STREETS? DROP DOWN LOTS HERE AND THE STREETS DROP? YES.

IS THAT THE PLAN? YES. WELL, WE'RE GOING TO DO JUST KIND OF TELL YOU WHAT WE'RE DOING. WE'RE BACK UP THE RAILROAD TRACKS. WHAT WE DID, WE CAME BACK ABOUT 25FT FROM THE RAILROAD TRACKS. THERE'D BE A TEN FOOT WALL. THEN THE LOT COMES OVER ABOUT 120FT STREET.

ANOTHER LOTS, 120FT DEEP. THEN WE STAIRSTEP DOWN AGAIN FOR ANOTHER STEP.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE STEPPING DOWN FROM BLOCK TO BLOCK TO BLOCK UNTIL WE CAN CATCH GRADE ALMOST TWO THIRDS INTO THE SITE.

OKAY. SO IF YOU'RE ON A LOT THAT BACKS UP TO THE RAILROAD TRACKS, THERE'S REALLY A TEN FOOT WALL AT THE BACK OF YOUR PROPERTY.

YES. AND THEN THE RAILROAD TRACKS ABOVE THAT.

YEAH. AND THEY'RE AND THEY'RE FURTHER BACK. YES. WE'RE KEEPING ALL THOSE TREES BACK THERE ALONG THE RAILROAD TRACKS AS WELL. YEAH. SO, IT'S KIND OF A NATURAL BARRIER AND VEGETATION TO HELP THOSE RESIDENTS. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. YOU ALSO WOULD LIKE THE QUESTION ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE TREES THAT WILL BE REPLACING THE TREES THAT HAVE BEEN DAMAGED.

I HAVE TO GO BACK TO CARL ON THAT TWIG OR A TREE.

WHAT SIZE WERE THOSE? TIM, DO YOU WANT THESE PICTURES BACK? NO. YOU CAN KEEP THEM. KEEP THEM. TAKE THEM HOME TO OUR KIDS. HANG THEM IN THE REFRIGERATOR. BE GREAT. YEAH. THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. I GUESS I'D LIKE TO BACK UP JUST A LITTLE BIT.

NO, NO, NO, THAT'S FINE, THAT'S FINE. AND IT'S REALLY A QUESTION FOR JUST THE OVERALL PROCESS.

OKAY. SO, THERE'S A DEVELOPMENT. THE PROPERTY HAS TREES ON IT.

WE KNOW THAT IT HAS TREES. THE PROCESS, THE PURPOSE OF GETTING A TREE SURVEY TO BEGIN WITH IS TO IDENTIFY THE TYPES OF TREES THAT ARE OUT THERE, THE SIZE OF THE TREES AND THE LOCATION OF THOSE TREES FOR THE PURPOSE OF.

SO, THE CITY CAN SPECIFY YOU CAN'T REMOVE THESE TREES OR SO THAT THE DEVELOPER CAN SAY, HEY,

[00:15:08]

AND THE CITY CAN THEN PROVIDE FEEDBACK AND SAY, YES, WE AGREE WITH THAT.

CAN YOU GIVE US AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT THE PURPOSE IS? BEFORE WE EVEN GET INTO WHETHER OR NOT WE'LL RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE PURPOSE OF BYPASSING THAT? YEAH, YOU PRETTY MUCH LAID IT OUT. SO WE WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY TREES ARE ON THE SITE, WHAT TYPES OF TREES THEY ARE.

CAN THEY BE SAVED WITH DEVELOPMENT? IF THEY CAN'T BE SAVED, WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO ABOUT IT AS FAR AS MITIGATION? OKAY. SO GOING TO COMMISSIONER WOODRUFF'S QUESTION RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY TREES ARE OUT THERE.

WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE TYPES OF TREES ARE. AND I MEAN, WE HAVE SOME BASIC IDEA OF WHERE THEY ARE, RIGHT? OKAY. SO WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE SIX FOUR ACRE BLOCKS THAT THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED? WHAT IS THAT GOING TO TELL US? IN OTHER WORDS, THEY ARE GOING TO THE DEVELOPER IS GOING TO SURVEY THESE LOCATIONS. SO THAT'S JUST BASICALLY GOING TO GIVE US AN IDEA OF WHAT'S OUT THERE.

RIGHT. CORRECT. OKAY. AND I'M ASSUMING THAT THEY'VE IDENTIFIED THESE SIX LOCATIONS BASED ON THE FACT THAT THEY KNOW THERE ARE TREES THERE BASED ON THE THE AERIAL PICTURES.

AND I'M ASSUMING THAT MAYBE. THEY THEY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOME CHANCE TO SAVE SOME TREES IN THESE AREAS.

OTHERWISE WHY? WHY SERVE THEM? SURVEY THEM AT ALL.

SO I GUESS WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS IF THEY DON'T BELIEVE THEY CAN SAVE ANY TREES, THEN WHY ARE WE DOING? WHY ARE WE EVEN SURVEYING ANYTHING? SO THE SURVEY IS A REQUIREMENT OF OUR SUBDIVISION CODE, RIGHT? SO STAFF DOESN'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO DEVIATE FROM THAT REQUIREMENT WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE MAJOR WAIVER PROCESS.

SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT. THEY HAVE REQUESTED A WAIVER FOR THE TREE SURVEY REQUIREMENTS OF SURVEY SURVEYING THE WHOLE 200 PLUS ACRES. THEY CAME BACK AND STAFF CAME BACK WITH, OKAY, GIVE US A SAMPLE.

GIVE US SAMPLE SPOTS TO SURVEY TO HELP MAINTAIN THE INTENT OF THE CODE OF SURVEYING A PORTION OF THAT THAT THAT IS HELPING ME UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON THAT'S BROUGHT US TO THIS POINT, RIGHT? YES. OKAY. AND TO ANSWER MISS CROSS'S QUESTION, IN THEIR PD, THEY ARE REQUIRING ONE SHADE TREE AND ONE ORNAMENTAL TREE FOR EACH FRONT YARD. AND A SHADE TREE IN THE FRONT, ORNAMENTAL TREE IN EACH REAR OF LOTS THAT ARE 40FT WIDE AND THE REQUIRED SHADE TREES SHALL BE A MINIMUM CALIPER OF THREE CALIPER INCHES, MEASURED AT SIX INCHES ABOVE GROUND LEVEL.

THREE INCHES IN DIAMETER. IS THAT WHAT THAT 3 TO 6IN.

THREE INCHES IN DIAMETER. SIX INCHES ABOVE. INCHES.

ABOVE GROUND LEVEL. AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, CAL, STATE YOUR NAME AGAIN.

SORRY. KYLE GILL. TO BE CLEAR TO YOUR QUESTION, I DON'T THINK WE CAN SAVE ANY OF THE TREES IN THOSE SIX AREAS AT ALL.

OKAY. I OUR ORIGINAL REQUEST WAS A COMPLETE WAIVER TO THE TREE SURVEY.

GOTCHA. JUST BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE GRADING PLAN HAS TO WORK.

SO. OKAY. I WILL JUST MAKE A COMMENT. AND IT'S NOT A QUESTION, BUT, YOU KNOW, HAVING TWO TREES PER LOT OF THIS DENSITY IS. THAT'S A LOT OF TREES.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, IN TEN YEARS TIME AFTER THIS IS FULLY DEVELOPED, I MEAN, THERE'S GOING TO BE TREES EVERYWHERE.

AND SO I THINK THAT IS A GOOD THING, ASSUMING ALL THE TREES SURVIVE.

WELL, YEAH. YEAH. SOME OF MINE DID, AND SOME OF MINE DIDN'T.

YEAH. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONERS? OKAY. HEARING NONE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OR DENIAL TO CITY COUNCIL.

I'LL AS MUCH AS THE TREE HUGGER AS I AM, AND I HATE I HATE TO DO IT, BUT, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I HAVING DEVELOPED PROPERTY MYSELF, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THAT THERE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE TOPOGRAPHY THAT'S INVOLVED HERE, I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS AGENDA ITEM.

I'LL SECOND. OKAY. I'VE GOT A MOTION TO APPROVE FROM COMMISSIONER WILL CLOSE, AND I'VE GOT A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER MASON WOODRUFF.

[00:20:05]

OKAY. WE'RE GOING BACK INTO PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM FOUR.

[ITEM 4: RP-25-0005 – Public hearing, discussion, and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding a request to replat approximately 0.847 acres, Lot 5R, Block 3, Range “K”, Devereaux Addition, being a replat of Lots 5 – 6, Block 3, Range “K”, Lots 1 and 4, Block No. 4, Range “L” and part of Tilden Street (not open) in the Devereux Addition, to the City of Decatur, Wise County, Texas, also known as 1200 N Miller Street. (1200 N Miller Street – WCCA) ]

A LITTLE UNDER AN ACRE. IT'S LOT FIVE R, BLOCK THREE.

THEY ARE PROPOSING TO DEMOLISH THE OLD BUILDING.

REBUILD A BUILDING. WE DON'T HAVE ANY PLANS YET.

THAT IS LISA. SORRY. THIS IS THE ONE THEY NEED TO RECUSE ON.

THEY SHOULD REALLY EXCUSE THEMSELVES NOW. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW THE TIMING OF THAT, SO GO AHEAD.

IT'S MY FIRST TIME. OKAY. WE'RE LOCKED OUT.

I'M LOOKING AT THE SLIDE. ARE COMMISSIONERS RECUSING THEMSELVES RIGHT NOW? YES. OKAY. WHO'S RECUSING WILL KLOSE AND SHELBY HICKS? THANK YOU. OKAY. SO THE PROPERTY IS ZONED SF-2.

IT WILL REQUIRE A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR THE PHILANTHROPIC USE.

AND THAT APPLICATION IS RUNNING CONCURRENTLY WITH THIS APPLICATION.

THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 202 ALLOWS THE PROPERTY TO BE REPLANTED.

IT MEETS THE MINIMUM STANDARDS, AND THE APPROVAL FOR A DECISION CANNOT BE ARBITRARY FOR A REPLANT PROPERTY OWNER.

NOTIFICATIONS. WE NOTIFIED 14 PROPERTY OWNERS AND WE HAVE RECEIVED ZERO RESPONSES.

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE REPLAT 25 0005.

IT IS AN ACTION ITEM REQUIRED FOR A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL OR DENIAL TO CITY COUNCIL.

THANK YOU, LISA. DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ONLINE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? DO WE HAVE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? OKAY. HEARING NONE, THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD AND WE'LL CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING.

THEN IT IS 552. COMMISSIONERS. ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? CONCERNS? HEARING NONE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OR DENIAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

I WOULD OFFER A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

I'VE GOT A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL FROM COMMISSIONER MASON WOODRUFF.

I NEED A SECOND. I'LL SECOND. GOT A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER TERRY BERUBE.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. THOSE OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES.

WE NEED TO GO GET THEM. NO, NO, THEY NEED TO STAY RECUSED FOR THIS ITEM AS WELL.

OKAY, PAM. JUST ENOUGH. THE SAME TWO PEOPLE ARE RECUSED FOR THIS NEXT ITEM ALSO.

THANK YOU. OKAY. GOING TO ITEM FIVE. PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPENED AT 5:53.

[ITEM 5: SUP-25-0002 – Public hearing, discussion, and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding an ordinance to allow Philanthropic Use in an SF-2, Single-Family Zoning District, on approximately 0.847 acres of land located at 1200 N Miller Street, Decatur, Texas. (1200 N Miller Street – WCCA)]

I'D LIKE TO ENTER OUR STAFF REPORT INTO THE RECORD IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE.

AGAIN, THIS IS A SPECIFIC USE FOR THE WISE COUNTY COMMITTEE ON AGING.

THE ZONING IS SINGLE FAMILY, SO IT REQUIRES A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR THE PHILANTHROPIC USE.

SO APPENDIX B OF ARTICLE FIVE AND ARTICLE FIVE ALLOWS FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT PLANNING AND ZONING TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL OF APPROVAL OR DENIAL. AND A PHILANTHROPIC USE IS PERMITTED BY SPECIFIC USE PERMIT PER SECTION 6.1.2.

TABLE SEVEN OF OUR ZONING CODE. WISE COUNTY COMMISSION ON COMMITTEE ON AGING HAS BEEN OPERATING SINCE 1984.

IT OPERATES THE OPERATION, PROVIDES FREE MEALS, SOCIAL AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES FOR UNDERSERVED SENIORS IN THE LOCAL AREA.

AGAIN, THEY ARE EVENTUALLY PROPOSING TO DEMOLISH THIS BUILDING AND REPLACE IT WITH A NEW BUILDING.

WE NOTIFIED 14 PROPERTY OWNERS AND WE HAVE RECEIVED ZERO RESPONSES.

DEVELOPMENT STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT 25-0002, AND IT IS AN ACTION ITEM RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL OR DENIAL TO CITY COUNCIL. ANYONE ONLINE. ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? OKAY. HEARING NONE, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING. IT IS NOW 5:55.

COMMISSIONERS, ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR CONCERNS? YES. OKAY. IT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD PORTION ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER IS IN THE STREET.

IS THAT AN ISSUE? ON THE BOTTOM. ON THE LEFT.

[00:25:07]

IT'S FOR JUST FOR THE PROPERTY. WE'RE NOT REZONING THE PROPERTY.

WE'RE JUST ALLOWING IT A SPECIFIC USE FOR THIS ADDRESS, SO IT DOESN'T REZONE THE PROPERTY AT ALL.

IT'S JUST A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR THE TYPE OF USE THAT IS GOING ON AT THAT LOCATION.

SO WE'RE NOT REZONING ANY PORTION OF THE RIGHT OF WAY.

I THINK IT'S JUST HOW IT'S SKEWED. ON HOW THE MAPS DRAWN.

THE SURVEY INDICATES THE SAME THING. SO THAT'S WHY I WAS CURIOUS.

DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY.

I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OR DENIAL TO CITY COUNCIL ON ITEM FIVE.

SUP 25-0002.

IS. PAM, ARE YOU THERE? I CAN GO BACK TO THE REPLAY.

THAT'S ME. YES. I'M HERE. JOHN? YEAH, I WAS JUST CURIOUS.

DOES THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON THAT? IF, ACCORDING TO THE SURVEY, THAT THE PROPERTY LINE GOES ACROSS THE STREET.

IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WOULD NEED TO BE ADDRESSED TO CLEAR UP THE PROPERTY LINE? I DON'T HAVE THE PLAT IN FRONT OF. I'D LIKE TO SEE IT AGAIN.

SO, A COPY OF THE PLAT IS ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW FOR THE REPLAT APPLICATION.

SO, RANDY, CAN YOU SHOW ME THE SCREEN? TO THE PREVIOUS SLIDE? YEAH. YEAH. I WONDER IF IT'S WORTH MY VIEW OF THE PLAT APPEARS TO INDICATE THAT IT SHOWS THE STREET.

IF THE STREET IS SHOWN, THEN IT DOESN'T HAVE THE EFFECT OF CLOSING THE STREET, WHICH I THINK WOULD BE THE BIG CONCERN.

RIGHT. AND THE PLAT IS NOT REQUESTING TO CLOSE ANY STREET.

THEY'RE JUST RE-PLATTING THE PROPERTY ON MILLER STREET.

IF THIS IS A CASE WHERE THE ENTIRE PROPERTY WHERE THE STREET HAPPENS TO BE PART OF IT HAPPENS TO BE ON THIS PROPERTY, AS LONG AS THE PLAT DOESN'T SHOW THAT IT'S CLOSING IT, IT DOESN'T IMPACT THE STREET.

OKAY? IT'S JUST SHOWING WHERE THE ACTUAL PROPERTY LINES ARE.

WELL, I CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE FOR WHATEVER INSTRUMENTS WE FILE FOR THEM TO BE CORRECT SO THAT THERE'S NO CONFUSION.

TECHNICALLY, IF THEY CHOSE TO FENCE THEIR PARKING LOT, THEY COULD FENCE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET.

NO, NO YOU CAN'T. IF IT'S A PUBLIC STREET, IT'S A PUBLIC EASEMENT ACROSS THE PART OF THE PROPERTY.

YOU HAVE TO FORMALLY CLOSE THE STREET BY A SEPARATE ACTION IN ORDER TO CLOSE.

NOW, A PLAT IS ONE WAY TO CLOSE THE STREET, BUT YOU HAVE TO CLARIFY ON THE PLAT THAT YOU'RE CLOSING THE STREET.

RIGHT. OKAY. WHICH I DON'T SEE HERE. AND IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THEIR PROPERTY LINE GOES ACROSS THE STREET AND ANYBODY ELSE'S PROPERTY JUST LOOKS LIKE NOT EVEN 100% OF THE STREET IS INSIDE THE PROPERTY LINE. IT'S MORE LIKE 80% OR SOMETHING.

GO AHEAD, PAM. OKAY. THIS IS ONE WHERE YOU'RE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL, CORRECT OR DENIAL.

CORRECT? OKAY. SO WHY DON'T YOU IF YOU CHOOSE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL, DO IT ON THE CONDITION THAT ANY INACCURACIES IN THE SURVEY ARE CORRECTED BEFORE IT GOES TO COUNCIL.

THAT HAS TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS ITEM THEN, BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS ITEM WAS THE PLAT ITEM.

BUT THERE IS A DOTTED LINE IN THERE THAT INDICATES THE PROPERTY.

SO IT MAY BE THAT WE CAN'T READ THIS. WHAT'S WRITTEN THERE.

WELL, IT'S THE DOTTED LINE PROPERTY RESIDENT.

YEAH. BUT THAT LINE RIGHT THERE LOOKS TO BE THE BOUNDARY OF THE PROPERTY.

THE SURVEYOR PROBABLY KNOWING THAT IS A POINT RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION IN THEIR 90 DEGREE ANGLE HERE.

I DON'T KNOW, I'M NOT A SURGEON. SO THAT SHOWS DEDICATION RIGHT THERE.

IS IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS ITEM AND AMEND MY MOTION AND.

WELL, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE PLAT AGAIN THERE.

THERE IS DEDICATION. THERE IS DEDICATION ON THE FACE ON THE PLAT.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE RIGHT OF WAY IT SAYS DEDICATION.

SO THAT MEANS THEY'RE DEDICATING THE RIGHT OF WAY. OKAY.

THEY'RE NOT ASKING TO CLOSE IT OR ANYTHING. THEN I OKAY.

SO, THERE'S NO DISCREPANCY. NO, MA'AM. THANK YOU.

THAT I DON'T THINK. I DON'T THINK SO, GIVEN THAT THAT HAS A DEDICATION ON THE FACE OF THE PLAT.

YEAH. IT IS CLEAR ON THE PLAT EXHIBIT THAT IT SAYS DEDICATION.

[00:30:05]

DO WE KNOW? NO. YOU DON'T HAVE A MOTION YET. OH, I THOUGHT I DID.

I THOUGHT I DID. THAT WAS THE LAST ONE. WE DO NOT HAVE A MOTION YET.

OKAY, WELL, THEN LET'S GET A MOTION UP. FIRST OF ALL, NOBODY ONLINE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM.

NOBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM.

OKAY. SO I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OR DENIAL TO CITY COUNCIL.

THIS IS ON ITEM? 5. 5. 5. I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE A MOTION TO APPROVE FROM COMMISSIONER EILEEN CROSS.

I NEED A SECOND. I'LL SECOND. GOT A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER JOHN LANIER.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. THOSE OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES.

GOING TO ITEM SIX. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GO GET THEIR ABSENT MEMBER.

[ITEM 6: CP-25-0002 – Public hearing, discussion, and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding an ordinance amending the Code of Ordinances of the City of Decatur, by amending Appendix D, the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Decatur, to change the land use designation on the future land use map from Compact Neighborhood (CN) to Community Commercial (CC) land use on approximately 5.114 acres of land located at 1901 S Trinity Street, Decatur, Texas. (1901 S Trinity Street – River of Life Church)]

OKAY. THANK YOU. THANKS. YES, SIR. ALL OUR COMMISSIONERS ARE RETURNING.

I DO WANT TO JUST SAY THAT I APPRECIATE JOHN LANIER'S EYE ON THAT, BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT IF THEY ARE A PROBLEM, WE DO NEED TO CATCH. SO, THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU'RE WELCOME.

AND I WILL SECOND THAT. THANK YOU. GOOD JOB, BOY.

OKAY. MOVING TO ITEM NUMBER SIX GOING INTO OPEN PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:02.

LISA, GO. YES, SIR. ITEM NUMBER SIX, A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR RIVER OF LIFE CHURCH.

I'D LIKE TO ENTER OUR STAFF REPORT INTO THE RECORD IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE.

SO THIS IS FOR THE RIVER OF LIFE CHURCH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT.

THEY ARE LOCATED AT 1901 SOUTH TRINITY STREET.

IT'S A LITTLE OVER FIVE ACRES. THEY'RE PROPOSING AN EXPANSION OF THEIR CHURCH.

SO, WE HAVE ITS EXISTING LAND USE IS COMPACT NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE HAVE SURROUNDING ZONING, WHICH IS THOROUGHFARE BUSINESS, MULTIPLE FAMILY, AND IT'S MOSTLY THOROUGHFARE BUSINESS AND MULTIFAMILY TO THE SOUTHEAST AND WEST. SO THE PROPOSED LAND USE IS GOING TO CHANGE IT TO COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL.

AGAIN, IT'S AN EXPANSION OF THE CHURCH. THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A MAIN SANCTUARY, MULTI-PURPOSE ROOMS FOR COMMUNITY PROGRAMS, EVENTS, ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES AND PARKING AND LANDSCAPE AREAS.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY PLANS YET. IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF DECATUR'S 2050 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, SPECIFICALLY A SECONDARY LAND USE FOR CIVIC AND INSTITUTIONAL USES.

SO, THE ZONING IS CURRENTLY THOROUGHFARE BUSINESS, ALONG WITH MULTIPLE FAMILY FOR BOTH OF THESE LOTS.

AND IT PERMITS THE PROPOSED USES OF THE SANCTUARY AND THE MULTI-PURPOSE ROOMS. PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATIONS. WE'VE NOTIFIED 13 PROPERTY OWNERS.

WE'VE RECEIVED ZERO RESPONSES. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

AMENDMENT 25 0002. IT IS AN ACTION ITEM FOR A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL OR DENIAL TO CITY COUNCIL.

THANK YOU. LISA, DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ONLINE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? DO WE HAVE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? OKAY. HEARING NONE, THEN WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING.

IT IS NOW 604 COMMISSIONERS. ANY QUESTIONS? YES.

SORRY. YES. OH, THEY OWN THE LOT NORTH OF THEIR EXISTING FACILITY.

YES. THEY'RE THERE. SO. OR THEY'RE PURCHASING IT AND THEN WE'LL DO THE EXPANSION.

IF SO, THEY OWN THE LOT. THIS IS THE FIRST OF FOUR APPLICATIONS.

OKAY. SO, WE HAVE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT.

THE NEXT ONE IS GOING TO BE A REZONING FOR A SECTION OF THE PROPERTY.

AND WE'RE GOING TO PRELIMINARY PLAT AND FINAL PLAT.

THEY'RE COMBINING BOTH OF THOSE LOTS. OKAY, SO WE'LL GET INTO WHERE THE LOTS ARE.

THEY DO CURRENTLY OWN THE LOT NORTH. YES. OKAY.

THANK YOU. QUESTION. I SHOULD KNOW THIS, BUT I DON'T.

IT SAYS PRIMARY LAND USE RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL UNDER THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR COMMUNITY.

COMMERCIAL? YES, THAT WOULD BE THE PRIMARY. BUT IT ALSO ALLOWS UNDER SECONDARY LAND USES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR CIVIC AND INSTITUTIONAL USES, WHICH A CHURCH FALLS UNDER CIVIC AND INSTITUTIONAL USES.

SO, IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UNDER THE SECONDARY LAND USE.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? AND FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DID NOT KNOW JOHN LANIER WAS A SNIPER IN THE ARMY.

[00:35:08]

I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

OR RECOMMEND APPROVAL OR DENIAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CHANGE.

I'VE GOT A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL. FROM COMMISSIONER WILL KLOSE.

I NEED A SECOND. I'LL SECOND. GOT A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER TERRY BÉRUBÉ.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? OKAY. GOING ON TO ITEM SEVEN.

[ITEM 7: ZC-25-0001 – Public hearing, discussion, and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding an ordinance rezoning approximately 2.0355-acre tract of land in the A.J. Walker Survey, Abstract Number 860, in the City of Decatur, Wise County, Texas, being part of a certain called 2.59-acre tract recorded in Clerk's File Number 202406609, Official Records, Wise County, Texas, from Multiple-Family Zoning District to Thoroughfare Business District (C-2) Zoning District. (1901 S Trinity Street – River of Life Church)]

IT'S ALL YOURS, LISA. YES, SIR. SO, THIS IS A ZONING CHANGE FOR THE SAME PROPERTY.

1901 SOUTH TRINITY RIVER OF LIFE CHURCH. I'D LIKE TO ENTER OUR STAFF REPORT INTO THE RECORD IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE.

SO, THIS ZONING CHANGE IS FOR 2.59 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES.

YOU CAN SEE THE LITTLE WEIRD L SHAPE HASH MARKS THERE.

SO THAT PORTION OF THEIR PROPERTY IS ZONED MULTIPLE FAMILY.

THE REST OF IT WAS ZONED A THOROUGHFARE COMMERCIAL.

SO, THEY'RE PROPOSING TO REZONE EVERYTHING TO THOROUGHFARE BUSINESS, THE C-2 ZONING CLASSIFICATION A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY. THANKS TO CHERYL. SHE FOUND THAT THIS WAS REZONED IN 1985 TO MULTIPLE FAMILIES.

SO, YOU CAN SEE THE LITTLE DOTTED LINE. IT'S THE SAME AS THE PROPERTY THAT WE'RE REZONING.

ORIGINALLY, IT WAS ZONED TO BE OR PROPOSED TO BE MULTIFAMILY APARTMENTS ADJACENT TO THE APARTMENTS THAT ARE BEHIND THEM.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE A LITTLE SECTION THAT'S MULTIPLE FAMILY.

SO YES, THEY OWN BOTH THE TOP AND BOTTOM LOT IS THAT THEY HAVE APPLICATIONS IN FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT THAT YOU JUST RECOMMENDED APPROVAL TO.

WE HAVE THIS REZONING. WE WILL HAVE PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT ON OUR CONSENT AGENDA TONIGHT.

ALL OF THESE ARE RUNNING CONCURRENTLY. IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL LAND USE.

AGAIN, SECONDARY LAND USE ALLOWS FOR CIVIC AND INSTITUTIONAL USES.

PROPERTY. EXCUSE ME. PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATIONS.

THERE WERE 11 PROPERTY OWNERS NOTIFIED, AND WE'VE RECEIVED ZERO RESPONSES.

STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ZONING CHANGE FOR THIS APPLICATION, AND IT IS AN ACTION ITEM FOR APPROVAL OR DENIAL TO CITY COUNCIL.

THANK YOU. LISA. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ONLINE WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? DO WE HAVE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? OKAY. HEARING NONE, WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING. IT IS NOW 608.

COMMISSIONERS ANY QUESTIONS? SNIPER. JOHN. NOTHING.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT TIDBIT OF INFORMATION.

AND THAT WAS MY CURIOSITY WAS I KNEW THAT FOR MANY, MANY YEARS, THAT WAS ONE OF THE AREAS IN THE CITY THAT HAD BEEN APPROVED FOR APARTMENT CONSTRUCTION. AND THAT'S THAT WAS WHY I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT IT.

YES. OKAY. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OR DENIAL TO CITY COUNCIL ON THIS ACTION.

ITEM NUMBER SEVEN ZC 25-0002. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL TO CITY COUNCIL. OKAY. I'VE GOT A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL FROM COMMISSIONER JOHN LANIER.

I NEED A SECOND. SECOND. I'VE GOT A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER SHELBY HICKS.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. AYE. THOSE OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES.

OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE BACK INTO ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING ITEM ON ITEM NUMBER EIGHT.

[ITEM 8: PD-25-0001 – Public hearing, discussion, and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding an ordinance amending Ordinance No. 2025-03-13, and Appendix B, “Zoning”, of the City’s Code of Ordinances and the City’s Official Zoning Map to provide for amendments to the current zoning regulations on a tract of approximately 200.4471 acres, located at 1800 N US Hwy 81-287 Business, the Nature Creek Reserve Planned Development, to update the development standards and the concept plan regarding calculation of square footage of homes. (Nature Creek Reserve – Kyle Gill)]

DEVELOPMENT 25-0001. IT'S A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT FOR OUR NATURE CREEK RESERVE.

I'D LIKE TO ENTER OUR STAFF REPORT INTO THE RECORD IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE.

SO, CITY COUNCIL APPROVED PD FOR THE NATURE CREEK RESERVE OF ORDINANCE 2025-03 13 FOR LITTLE OVER 200 ACRES LOCATED 1800 NORTH US HIGHWAY 81/287. THEY ARE REQUESTING TO AMEND THE PD.

THE CURRENT ZONING AGAIN IS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

IT JUST CHANGES THE LOCK COUNT FROM 693 TO 694.

THE APPROVED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS HAD A MINIMUM BUILDING AREA FOR 50 FOOT LOTS OF 2000FT², AND FOR 40 FOOT LOTS OF 1800 SQUARE FEET, AND THIS DID NOT INCLUDE THE GARAGE SQUARE FOOTAGE.

[00:40:01]

SO, THE UNDERLYING ZONING IS TWO, AND THE REQUIRED MINIMUM BUILDING AREA WOULD BE 1000FT².

SO, IF WE TAKE 400FT FROM 2000 AND 400FT FROM 1800, THESE LOTS ARE STILL EXCEEDING THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT OF THE UNDERLYING ZONING OF 1000FT². SO, THIS SHOWS A FEW OF THE TRACKS ON THE SIZE OF THE LOTS.

IT IS CONSISTENT WITH OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THE WHOLE PLAN DEVELOPMENT IS WITH OUR LAND USE STRATEGIES TO ENCOURAGE ENSURE ZONING CLASSIFICATIONS THAT ALLOW FOR A RANGE OF HOUSING TYPES MEETING ALL THE NEEDS OF AGES, ABILITIES AND INCOME LEVELS. WE NOTIFIED 49 PROPERTY OWNERS AND HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSES AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE PLAN.

DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT PD 25-0001. IT IS AN ACTION ITEM FOR APPROVAL OR DENIAL RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL.

DO WE HAVE ANYONE? THANK YOU. LISA. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ONLINE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? DO WE HAVE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? KYLE, RESTATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. KYLE GILL.

6117 MARYMOUNT ROAD IN FORT WORTH. THIS WAS JUST AN OVERSIGHT ON OUR PART IN OUR ORIGINAL PD.

THE BUILDERS THAT WERE WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO ACTUALLY ALL CAUGHT IT.

AND THEY, FOR THIS TYPE OF PRODUCT, THEY LIKE TO EXCLUDE THE GARAGE FROM THE OVERALL SQUARE FOOTAGE.

SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE COMING BACK. THANK YOU. TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? OKAY. HEARING NONE, THEN WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING. IT IS NOW 612 COMMISSIONERS.

LISA, YOU HAD INDICATED THAT UNDER OUR RULES, THE MINIMUM GARAGE SIZE IS 400FT² UNDER THEIR PD. UNDER THEIR PD. YES, SIR. OKAY. IS THERE A MAXIMUM GARAGE SIZE? BECAUSE THE ISSUE I'VE GOT IS IF IT'S A 1400 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE AND IT'S A 400 SQUARE FOOT GARAGE, THEN IT IS 1000FT. BUT IF IT'S A 500 SQUARE FOOT GARAGE, NOW YOU HAVE 900FT² OF LIVING AREA.

SO DOESN'T THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED IN SOME WAY TO CLARIFY THAT THERE WILL BE A MINIMUM OF 1000FT² OF LIVING AREA? THAT IS MY INTERPRETATION WOULD BE SINCE WE HAVE THE UNDERLYING ZONING AS TWO, YOU COULD NOT GO BELOW THE THOUSAND SQUARE FEET. THAT WOULD SUPERSEDE ANYTHING COMING IN THERE.

IS THERE SOMEBODY WITH THE DEVELOPERS HERE WHO MIGHT DO YOU NEED TO AMEND YOUR DEVELOPMENT RULES TO PROVIDE FOR THAT, TO MAKE SURE ALL THE HOME BUILDERS UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S GOT TO BE 1000FT² OF LIVING AREA.

DO YOU ALL UNDERSTAND WHAT MY ISSUE IS? OKAY.

I DO. MASON. PAM, IS THAT YOU? YES, THAT WAS ME.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. OKAY. I'M JUST.

SO DO. DOES THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENT NEED TO HAVE A STIPULATION ABOUT THAT OR IS IT JUST OUR? YOU COULD RECOMMEND, YOU COULD RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

AND ON THE CONDITION THAT THE LIVING AREA IS A MINIMUM OF 1000FT².

AND THEN THAT'S CLARIFIED AND STIPULATED SOMEHOW.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S REALLY NECESSARY, THOUGH, RIGHT? I MEAN, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET A BUILDING PERMIT FOR ANYTHING UNDER 1000FT² IN THIS ZONING AREA, RIGHT? THAT WOULD BE I JUST WOULD RATHER THERE NOT BE ANY CONFUSION ON THE SUBJECT WHATSOEVER.

IT'S OKAY. I DON'T THINK THERE WOULD BE. MAYBE YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW EASY IT IS TO GET CONFUSED.

OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. HEARING NONE.

THEN I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OR DENIAL TO CITY COUNCIL ON ITEM EIGHT.

PD 25-0001 WITH, PAM, HELP ME OUT ON THIS. WHAT'S MY VERBIAGE?

[00:45:01]

I WOULD OFFER A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS ITEM, WITH THE STIPULATION THAT IT BE CLARIFIED THAT THE MINIMUM LIVING AREA OF EACH DWELLING MUST BE 1000FT². OKAY, I GOT A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL FROM COMMISSIONER MASON WOODRUFF.

I DO NEED A SECOND. I'LL SECOND. I'VE GOT A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER SHELBY.

HICKS. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. AYE. THOSE OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES.

OKAY. MOVING INTO NONPUBLIC HEARING ITEMS. ITEM NINE.

[ITEM 9: PP-25-0002 – Consider and make a recommendation to the City Council to approve a request to preliminary plat approximately 200.447-acre tract of land located in the Nelson H.

(Nature Creek Reserve — Kyle Gill)]

I'D LIKE TO ENTER OUR STAFF REPORT INTO THE RECORD IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE WITH ONE CORRECTION.

WE ON THE STAFF REPORT THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR AGENDA PACKET.

WE ARE REMOVING CONDITION NUMBER SEVEN BECAUSE IT IS REDUNDANT WITH CONDITION NUMBER EIGHT.

SO THERE WILL BE A TOTAL OF 15, NOT 16 CONDITIONS.

THIS IS OUTLINED AT THE END OF OUR PRESENTATION AND WILL BE CORRECTED FOR THE CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT.

SO AGAIN, WE'RE PRELIMINARY PLAT PHASE FOR THIS PROJECT 694 RESIDENTIAL LOTS OPEN AND PARK SPACE.

AND THEN ALL INFORMATION SUBMITTED IN THE FINAL PLAT IS SUBJECT TO REVIEW.

THE CITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MAKE COMMENTS AS NECESSARY BASED ON ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PROVIDED AND CHANGES MADE.

SO, YOU MAY GIVE YOU A LITTLE SUMMARY. SO PRELIMINARY PLAT IS THE FIRST STAGE OF THE PLANNING PROCESS FOR THESE PROJECTS.

ALL THE CONDITIONS THAT STAFF AND THE ENGINEERING STAFF HAS OUTLINED MUST BE ADDRESSED AND RECTIFIED BEFORE THE FINAL PLAT AND BEFORE THE CIVIL PLANS REVIEW ARE APPROVED. STAFF WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE APPLICANT IS AWARE OF ANY AND ALL DEFICIENCIES EARLY IN THE PROCESS, SO THE PROJECT CAN CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. THAT'S WHY STAFF IS RECOMMENDING CONDITIONAL APPROVAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL WITH CONDITIONS ONE THROUGH 15, AS OUTLINED IN THE PRESENTATION AND STAFF REPORT.

I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR CLARITY. LISA, WHICH CONDITION WAS REDUNDANT? JUST IT WAS IT WAS NUMBER SEVEN ON THE STAFF REPORT.

I RENUMBERED THEM IN THE PRESENTATION. OKAY, GREAT.

THAT'S FINE. IN PARALLEL. OKAY. AND WHAT WAS THESE CONDITIONS ARE NOT CONDITIONS FOR APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT, BUT THEY'RE CONDITIONS FOR APPROVING THE FINAL PLAT.

IS THAT CORRECT? IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID? NO. WE'RE CONDITIONALLY APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT, THAT ALL THESE CONDITIONS HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE FINAL PLAT APPROVAL AND CIVIL PLANS APPROVAL.

[00:50:04]

WE JUST DID A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ON THIS A COUPLE MONTHS AGO.

SO, IT'S 5.831 ACRES, 1801 SOUTH TRINITY, PROPOSING A MEDICAL OFFICE PLAZA.

WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. AND THE APPLICANT IS, I BELIEVE ON ZOOM AND WANTED TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF ANY OF THESE CONDITIONS BEFORE THEY GET TO FINAL PLAT AND GO, WHY DIDN'T WE KNOW ABOUT THIS FIRST?
