Oct 06, 2026 Planning and Zoning Commission

YEAH, OKAY. IT IS 5:35. I'M GOING TO CALL THIS MEETING OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING TO ORDER.

[I. CALL TO ORDER]

[00:00:11]

JUST AS A REMINDER, PLEASE KEEP IT TO THREE MINUTES IF YOU CAN.

THREE MINUTES OR LESS. OKAY.

[III.1. SUP-26-0004 – 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 0.278 acres of land located at 106 S Cates Street, Decatur, Texas. (First United Methodist Church)]

WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO RESPOND TO QUESTIONS OR COMMENT DURING PUBLIC HEARING.

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

WE'RE GOING TO PUBLIC HEARING ITEM ONE. PUBLIC HEARING ITEM IS NOW OPEN AT 5:37, AND I NEED TO RECUSE MYSELF ON THIS ITEM.

GO AHEAD. LISA. YES, SIR. THIS IS A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT 26-0004 FOR 106 SOUTH CATES STREET. IT'S A FOOD PANTRY FOR THE FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH.

THE PROPERTY IS A LITTLE OVER A QUARTER OF AN ACRE.

IT'S ZONED SINGLE FAMILY. AND PHILANTHROPIC USE IS PERMITTED BY A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

SO AGAIN, THE LEGALITIES IN OUR CODE THE PLANNING AND ZONING WILL MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL OR DENIAL, AND THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A PHILANTHROPIC USE IS OUTLINED IN SECTION 6.1.2 IN OUR ZONING ORDINANCE.

SO THE FOOD PANTRY FOR THE FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH IS RELOCATING FROM 103 SOUTH MILLER STREET TO 106 SOUTH CATES STREET.

IT'S IN AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY STRUCTURE THAT USED TO BE THE PARSONAGE FOR THE YOUTH MINISTER.

THE PROPOSED NEW LOCATION OFFERS ADDITIONAL SPACE WHICH WILL BETTER SERVE THE INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY.

THE ADJACENT PARKING LOT, AS YOU CAN SEE, WILL BE IS OWNED BY THE FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, AND IT WILL SATISFY MOST OF THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS.

THE APPLICANT WILL BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ADA ACCESSIBLE, ACCESSIBLE SPACE OR SPACES ON SITE DEPENDING ON THE SIZE, AND THAT WILL BE DETERMINED BY TDLR OR THE BUILDING OFFICIAL DEPENDING ON THE RENOVATIONS OF THE PROPERTY, SO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF SUP 26-0004 WITH STATED CONDITIONS THAT APPROPRIATE BUILDING PERMITS BE OBTAINED.

AND I FAILED TO SAY. LISA HANNON, PLANNING DIRECTOR FOR THE RECORD AND I'D LIKE TO ENTER OUR STAFF REPORT AS PUBLISHED INTO THE RECORD IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE.

SO WE'RE HERE WITH ANY QUESTIONS. I HAVE A QUESTION.

HOLD ON. OKAY. WE'RE STILL IN PUBLIC HEARING.

THANK YOU. OKAY. I DON'T KNOW IF THE APPLICANT DO WE HAVE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? PLEASE COME UP. NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE. YES, SIR. MY NAME IS DEBORAH KOZARIC.

I LIVE AT 162 LAS BRISAS DRIVE IN DECATUR, AND I'M A MEMBER OF THE CHURCH AND ALSO A VOLUNTEER SUPPORTER OF OUR PANTRY MINISTRY. OKAY, BEFORE YOU GET GOING ANY MORE, CAN YOU BEND THAT MICROPHONE DOWN A LITTLE BIT? YOUR VOICE IS VERY SOFT. THANK YOU. GO AHEAD.

YES, SIR. I'M HERE IN CASE ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS.

THE INCREASED NEED FOR FOOD HAS HAD US LOOKING AT OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXPANDING WHERE WE CAN WITH EXISTING FACILITIES TO BE ABLE TO SERVE THAT NEED. AND WE'RE FORTUNATE TO HAVE THAT BUILDING THAT IS AVAILABLE.

AND IT'S A FORMER RESIDENCE FOR A FORMER STAFF MEMBER.

AND SO WE INTEND TO, WITH THE PERMISSION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING AND ALSO THE CITY COUNCIL TO EXPAND OUR MINISTRY AND TO DO SO IN A WAY THAT BETTER SERVES OUR NEIGHBORS AND THOSE AROUND US, AND TO DO SO IN A WAY THAT IS IN KEEPING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IN BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR TO ALL THOSE AROUND US.

[00:05:01]

VICKI WHISNANT, 103 SOUTH CATES. SIR, I LIVE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS HOME AND I SEE NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER WITH HAVING THAT THERE. IT'S VERY QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE PEOPLE ARE DECENT PEOPLE. I SEE NO REASON WHY.

AND LIKE I SAY, I LIVE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET AND I'M JUST HERE TO SAY THAT IT WOULD BE AN AWESOME THING FOR THE COMMUNITY NOWADAYS FOR IT TO GROW, BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY TWO OTHER PLACES IN DECATUR.

AND WE NEED THIS. AND IF IF YOU STOP THIS, I DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT WHAT OUR PEOPLE IN DECATUR WOULD DO WITHOUT IT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE. MY NAME IS NICK MCRAE.

I LIVE AT 2002 DEER PARK ROAD HERE IN DECATUR.

I'M THE PASTOR OF FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH.

AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY, I MEAN, REALLY THE THE TWO PREVIOUS PEOPLE HAVE HAVE DONE SUCH A GREAT JOB.

I JUST WANTED TO INCLUDE JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAILS OF, OF WHY WE THINK THIS IS A, THE RIGHT NEXT MOVE FOR THIS FOOD PANTRY. YOU KNOW, WE FOR YEARS, ALMOST A DECADE, WE'VE HAD A MOBILE FOOD PANTRY THAT MET IN OUR PARKING LOT ONCE A MONTH.

THAT WAS A REALLY GREAT SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY. WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO BE A PART OF IT. OUR MAIN SUPPORTER FOR THAT MINISTRY WAS THE TARRANT AREA FOOD BANK.

THEY'VE RECENTLY CHANGED THEIR DIRECTION AND THE KINDS OF MINISTRIES THEY'RE SUPPORTING, SO THEY'RE NO LONGER SUPPORTING THOSE KINDS OF MINISTRIES.

SO THEY HAVE SUNSETTED, IF YOU WILL, OUR MOBILE FOOD PANTRIES AND THE ABILITY TO DO THAT.

WE SEE IN THIS AS PEOPLE OF FAITH, GOD'S TIMING THAT JUST AS THIS ONE DOOR OR WINDOW OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT IS CLOSING THAT, THAT THIS OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND WHAT WE'RE DOING AND THE REALLY SMALL STRUCTURE FOR OUR FOOD PANTRY, EXPANDING IT AND DOING MORE TO FILL THE GAP FOR SOME OF THE THINGS WE'RE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE ANYMORE.

AND SO WE'RE REALLY HOPING THAT THAT WITH YOUR SUPPORT AND WITH THE NECESSARY CHANGES WE NEED TO MAKE, THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO MAKE A BIGGER IMPACT FOR HUNGER AND OR AGAINST HUNGER, I GUESS IN WISE COUNTY, IF WE'RE ABLE TO UTILIZE THIS SPACE IN A MORE AND TO DO OUR WORK IN A MORE EFFECTIVE WAY.

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

IT IS NOW 5:44. COMMISSIONERS QUESTIONS. OKAY.

MINE IS NOT SPECIFICALLY ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING, BUT MORE ABOUT THE PHILANTHROPIC USE AND WHAT ACTUALLY FALLS UNDER THAT AND WHO MAKES A RULE ON WHETHER THEY QUALIFY OR NOT. WE HAVE A DEFINITION IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR PHILANTHROPIC USES.

WE COMPARED THEIR USE TO THAT DEFINITION AND MAKE A DETERMINATION.

OKAY. THANK YOU. JUST A CURIOSITY QUESTION. CURRENTLY, THE FOOD PANTRY IS AT 101 SOUTH MILLER, 103 SOUTH MILLER. 103 SOUTH MILLER.

OKAY, AND DO WE KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE USE OF THAT PROPERTY WILL BE? YES, SIR. OKAY. IT WAS JUST A CURIOSITY. THANK YOU.

I HAVE A QUESTION. DO WE FORESEE ANY KIND OF PROBLEM WITH DELIVERIES OR QUEUING ALONG HAIGHT STREET, ESPECIALLY BACKING UP TO MAIN STREET? AGAIN, SOME OF THEIR LIKE THE MINISTER JUST SAID, THEIR LARGE TRACTOR TRAILERS FROM THE TARRANT COUNTY DON'T SERVE THIS ANYMORE, BUT THEY HAVE A PARKING LOT ADJACENT TO THIS, SO THEIR DELIVERIES CAN COME INTO THAT PARKING LOT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR LOGISTICS ARE GOING TO BE.

THEY DIDN'T PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION TO US. I DON'T KNOW IF, IF, IF ONE OF THE APPLICANTS WOULD LIKE TO ANSWER THAT.

YOU'LL HAVE TO. SORRY. HAVE TO STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS SARAH WOODDILL AND I LIVE AT 306 SOUTH SENDERO.

THE WAY WE GET OUR FOOD IS WE HAVE TO GO AND PICK UP OUR FOOD AT THE TARRANT AREA FOOD BANK ONCE A WEEK.

WE HAVE A SMALL REFRIGERATED TRAILER THAT WE PULL, SO IT'S NOT A BIG SEMI OR ANYTHING THAT BRINGS FOOD TO US.

DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? WHERE IS THE FOOD BANK? THE FOOD. THE TARRANT AREA FOOD BANK IS IN DOWNTOWN FORT WORTH.

[00:10:04]

I'VE GOT A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER SHELBY HICKS. ALL IN FAVOR AYE.

AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? OKAY. GOING BACK INTO PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM TWO.

[III.2. RP-26-0011 – Take appropriate action to approve a 30-day extension request regarding the replat application for Lots 29 - 40, Block M, being a total of 1.791 acres in the John C. Bullock Survey, Abstract Number 79, in the City of Decatur, Wise County, Texas. (Vista Park Phase 1A) ]

PHASE 1A BLOCK M. THERE WERE SOME SCRIVENER'S ERRORS, SO THAT IS BEING REPLANTED.

HOWEVER, THERE'S STILL SOME MINOR DEFICIENCIES TO BE ADDRESSED.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A 30 DAY EXTENSION, AND STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE 3830 DAY EXTENSION.

NO SPECIAL MEETING WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THIS.

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

IT IS NOW 5:48. COMMISSIONERS. ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR CONCERNS? OKAY. HEARING NONE. THEN I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OR DENIAL FOR THE 30 DAY EXTENSION FOR RP-0011.

I'LL RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR THE 30 DAY EXTENSION FOR RP0011.

OKAY, I'VE GOT A MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER SHELBY HICKS.

I'VE GOT A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER BRAD MORGAN.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? MR. CHAIRMAN, JUST A POINT OF CORRECTION.

YES. THE MOTION SHOULD BE RP-26-0011. THANK YOU.

YES. THANK YOU FOR THE CORRECTION. OKAY, MOVING ON TO ITEM THREE.

[III.3. RP-26-0013 – Public hearing, discussion, and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding a request to replat Lots 4R-1, 4R-2, Block 2, Carpenter Addition, being a replat of Lot No. 4, in Block No. 2 in the Carpenter Addition, located in the City of Decatur, Wise County, Texas, also known as 202 S Arthur Street. (Huddleston). ]

LISA. YES, SIR. LISA HANNON, PLANNING DIRECTOR, WOULD LIKE TO ENTER OUR STAFF REPORT INTO THE RECORD BY REFERENCE IN ITS ENTIRETY.

SO THIS IS A REPLAT FOR 202 SOUTH ARTHUR STREET.

PER THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, IT CAN BE LEGALLY PLATTED.

IT WILL MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE.

WE DO HAVE A COUPLE SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS AND VARIANCES THAT ARE WORKING THEIR WAY OR WILL BE WORKING THEIR WAY THROUGH THE PROCESS.

SO WE HAVE TWO LOTS AND WE'RE CREATING THREE LOTS.

ONE HAS A SINGLE FAMILY STRUCTURE ON IT ALREADY.

AND THE OTHER TWO VACANT LOTS WILL HAVE TWO NEW SINGLE FAMILY STRUCTURES.

AND THESE ARE CONSIDERED INFILL PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.

SO WE'VE GOT A FEW SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS. OR ONE SPECIAL EXCEPTION ON THE EXISTING HOUSE WILL REQUIRE SPECIAL EXCEPTION.

AND THEN THAT WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE APPROVED BEFORE THE BUILDING PERMITS ARE ISSUED AND THE PLAT IS RECORDED.

AND WE'LL BE GOING FOR A FEW VARIANCES ON THE TWO SINGLE FAMILY VACANT LOTS THAT THEY ARE CREATING FOR LOT SIZES, PARKING REQUIREMENTS, FRONT YARD SETBACKS AND LOT COVERAGE.

AGAIN, WE'RE NOT VOTING ON THAT HERE, JUST LETTING YOU ALL KNOW THAT WE WILL BE GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

SO BASED ON THE FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS AND OUR STAFF REPORT, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF RP-26-0003 WITH THE CONDITIONS THAT THE ENCROACHMENT SPECIAL EXCEPTION AND THE VARIANCES ARE APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS BEFORE THE BUILDING PERMITS ARE ISSUED AND THE PLAT IS RECORDED. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, WE DO HAVE THE APPLICANTS HERE TO ANSWER ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

YOU SAID 0003? 0013. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM?

[00:15:06]

AND MY HUSBAND AND I, WE OWN THE EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY HOME THAT WAS OUR HOME WHEN WE FIRST GOT MARRIED AND LIVED THERE, AND THERE IS A LOT BEHIND IT THAT HAD A MANUFACTURED HOME ON IT THAT WE WERE ABLE TO PURCHASE IN THE LAST YEAR, THE PROPERTY HAD BEEN IN DISARRAY, SO WE HAVE SINCE REMOVED THE MANUFACTURED HOME, AND OUR INTENTION IS TO BUILD TWO NICE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES TO ENHANCE THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AREA.

IN THE AREA IT'S MOSTLY RENTALS. AND WE'VE TRIED TO KEEP OUR HOME.

THE HOMES ACROSS THE STREET HAVE ALWAYS BEEN KEPT NICE.

AND OUR INTENTION IS TO ADD NEW HOMES TO THE AREA TO ENHANCE THAT AREA, TO CLEAN UP WHAT WAS THERE ORIGINALLY.

AND WE'VE BEEN VERY THANKFUL WE APPLIED FOR THE INFILL POLICY THAT WILL GIVE US SOME FINANCIAL INCENTIVES TOWARDS BEING ABLE TO BUILD THERE IN A WAY THAT'S AFFORDABLE.

SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. AND THANK YOU FOR HEARING OUR REQUEST.

THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? DO WE HAVE ANYONE ONLINE? OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IT IS NOW 5:53. COMMISSIONERS QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR CONCERNS? I HAVE A QUESTION AND IT MAY NEED TO BE FOR PAM, BUT ARE WE BEING ASKED TO DECIDE WHETHER THESE DEVIATIONS ARE APPROPRIATE? OR IS THAT EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE BOA? OH, BECAUSE THEY'RE ASKING FOR SEVERAL DIFFERENT THINGS.

THEY ARE, BUT THAT IS THROUGH THE BOA. THIS IS JUST TO PLAT THE PROPERTY INTO THREE LOTS.

OKAY. GOOD QUESTION. COMMISSIONERS ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. HEARING NONE, THEN I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OR DENIAL TO CITY COUNCIL ON RP 26-0013.

I WOULD OFFER A MOTION TO APPROVE REPLAT APPLICATION RP-26-0013.

SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS AS STATED IN THE STAFF REPORT.

OKAY, I'VE GOT A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF RP-26-0013 WITH THE STAFF'S CONDITIONS.

I NEED A SECOND. I'LL SECOND. OKAY. I'VE GOT A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER EILEEN CROSS.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? OKAY. JUST, MR. CHAIRMAN, FOR MR. MORGAN'S FOR LITTLE CLARIFICATION.

WHEN WE GET THESE INFILL LOTS AND GET THE INFILL APPLICATIONS APPROVED THROUGH THE SYSTEM WHEN THEY ASK.

THAT'S PART OF THE INFILL POLICY, IS THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO ASK FOR ADDITIONAL DEVIATIONS TO HELP SUPPORT THE INFILL AND DEVELOPMENT OF UNDERSERVED LOTS. THANK YOU. OKAY.

MOVING INTO SOME ACTION ITEMS. ITEM 4 FP-26-0004.

[IV.4. FP-26-0004 – Take appropriate action to approve a 30-day extension request regarding the Final Plat application for an approximately 2.76-acre tract of land, Quick Al’s Addition, Lot 1, Block 1, in the City of Decatur, Wise County, Texas, addressed as 1105 N US Hwy 81-287. (Quick Al’s Real Estate, Inc.)]

THEY ARE PLATTING THE PROPERTY TO ADD AN ADDITION ONTO THAT BUILDING.

HOWEVER, THERE'S STILL SOME MINOR DEFICIENCIES TO BE ADDRESSED, AND THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A 30 DAY EXTENSION AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THAT 30 DAY EXTENSION. AGAIN, NO SPECIAL MEETING WILL BE REQUIRED.

COMMISSIONERS. ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? OKAY.

HEARING NONE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OR DENIAL OF THE 30 DAY EXTENSION.

JUST APPROVING OR DENYING. YEAH. YOU'RE JUST APPROVING OR DENYING.

WE'RE JUST RECOMMENDING HERE. OKAY. OKAY. TAKE ACTION BY THIS BOARD.

FOR FP-0004. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE 30 DAY EXTENSION.

OKAY. I'VE GOT A MOTION TO APPROVE FROM COMMISSIONER JOHN LANIER.

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

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? OKAY. GOING TO ITEM 5 RP-26-0012.

[IV.5. RP-26-0012 – Take appropriate action to approve a 30-day extension regarding the replat request for Lots 3R-1 and 3R-2, Block A, being a replat of Lot 3, Block A, 1810 Subdivision, City of Decatur, Wise County, Texas. (First Choice Truck Lube, Inc.)]

AGAIN, WE'VE GOT SOME MINOR DEFICIENCIES TO BE ADDRESSED AND THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A 30 DAY EXTENSION.

STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THAT 30 DAY EXTENSION.

NO SPECIAL MEETING WILL BE REQUIRED. COMMISSIONERS.

ANY QUESTIONS? I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO RECOMMEND FOR APPROVAL OR DENIAL OF THE 30 DAY EXTENSION FOR RP-0012.

MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE TO APPROVE A 30 DAY EXTENSION FOR RP-0012.

[00:20:02]

I DO NEED A SECOND. SECOND. I'VE GOT A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER BRAD MORGAN.

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? OKAY.

[V.6. Discussion of a proposed ordinance establishing a Data Center Overlay District, including development standards and special regulations applicable to Data Centers.]

WE DID GET A SUPPORT FROM CITY COUNCIL TO MOVE THIS FORWARD.

AND SO WE WANTED TO COME BEFORE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION TONIGHT GIVE YOU AN INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATION ON A VERY HIGH LEVEL OF WHAT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE AS WE WORK THROUGH WHAT THIS ZONING ORDINANCE WILL BE GET ANY INPUT, ANY THOUGHTS, ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FROM CITY COUNCIL OR FROM PLANNING AND ZONING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS? I DO WANT TO START OFF AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S ON THE RECORD THAT WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INQUIRIES OR SUBMISSIONS FOR ANY TYPE OF DATA CENTER FOR THE CITY OF DECATUR.

THIS IS STRICTLY A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO ADOPTING AN ORDINANCE BEFORE SOME TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT COMES TO DECATUR. AND WE DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING ON THE BOOKS.

AND WORKING THROUGH THAT AND MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE PREPARED FOR THIS.

SO EVERYBODY'S SEEN THE DISCUSSION ON DATA CENTERS.

IT'S ON EVERY NEWS CHANNEL YOU TURN ON. EVERYTHING COMES UP ON THAT.

AND MOST OF THE TIME IT'S BECAUSE THERE'S SOME TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING IN ON THAT.

OUR APPROACH ON THIS. WE SAW ALL OF THESE SAME THINGS GOING ON ACROSS THE STATE IN DIFFERENT PLACES.

AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE AHEAD OF THAT CURVE SO THAT WE WE HAD SOMETHING IN PLACE AND READY TO GO IF SOMEBODY SHOWED UP WITH A DEVELOPMENT OF THIS NATURE. WE ARE LOOKING AT A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO THIS SO THAT WE'RE NOT REACTING WHEN SOMETHING ARRIVES. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF, ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER DEPARTMENTS ACROSS THE CITY, HAVE SPENT THE LAST FEW MONTHS WORKING THROUGH PROPOSED ORDINANCES FROM DIFFERENT CITIES, ADOPTED ORDINANCES, ORDINANCES FROM DIFFERENT CITIES. WE'VE WENT TO TRAININGS AND WEBINARS AND CLASSES LEARNING AS MUCH AS WE COULD, POSSIBLY AS WE COULD IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE BRINGING FORWARD AN ORDINANCE THAT REPRESENTS OUR COMMUNITY.

WE TALKED TO A LOT OF CITIES THAT HAD ALREADY ADOPTED THESE ORDINANCES.

WE TALKED TO SOME OF THE STAFF ON THERE TRIED TO GET THEIR THOUGHTS ON WHAT WHAT THEIR HICCUPS WERE, WHAT THEIR HURDLES WERE AS THEY MOVED THROUGH THIS AND WHAT THEY'D DO DIFFERENT AS THEY WORK THROUGH IT.

TALK TO SOME LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS, TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE GETTING SOMETHING THAT CITY OF DECATUR IS REPRESENTED WELL WITH US IN DOING THAT. OF COURSE, EVERYTHING THAT WOULD, THAT EVERYBODY HAS DONE TO REGULATE AND CONTROL DATA CENTERS HAS ALL BEEN DONE THROUGH ZONING ORDINANCE. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S AFFORDED TO CITIES IN TEXAS THAT COUNTIES DON'T HAVE THE OPTION TO WORK THROUGH.

AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE USING ALL THE TOOLS THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR US TO DO THIS.

AND WE DO NOT SUPPOSE THAT WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TONIGHT IS A IS GOING TO COVER EVERY EVENTUALITY THAT WOULD POSSIBLY EVER COME UP.

WE'VE TRIED TO COVER AS MUCH AS WE POSSIBLY CAN, BUT WE ARE STARTING WITH THIS DISCUSSION ITEM, GETTING THE INPUT AND THEN MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS AS WE DEVELOP THE ORDINANCE THAT WILL COME BACK TO YOU FOR A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL.

IN TONIGHT'S DISCUSSION, WE WANT TO INTRODUCE A DATA CENTER OVERLAY DISTRICT.

THAT IS OUR PROPOSAL ON HOW TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS.

IT'S GOING TO PROVIDE THE POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS THROUGH ZONING REGULATIONS TO LIMIT CONTROL AND IMPACT OF ANY TYPE OF DATA CENTER DEVELOPMENT IN DECATUR.

WE ARE SEEKING GUIDANCE AND INPUT AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH ADOPTING THE REGULATIONS.

AND THEN OF COURSE, WITH OUR PRESENTATION, WE'RE GOING TO IDENTIFY THE NEXT STEPS AND THE PROCESSES THAT ARE INVOLVED WITH THIS.

[00:25:10]

YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE ON THE DAIS UP THERE WITH YOU.

THAT IS A MAP THAT WAS PRODUCED. THAT WAS IT'S AN OVERLAY OVER A PORTION OF THE EAGLES LANDING BUSINESS PARK THE EDC PROPERTY THAT'S OUT THERE.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE HATCHED AREA IS, IS WHERE THAT PROPOSED OVERLAY DISTRICT WOULD BE.

WITH THAT OVERLAY DISTRICT, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE ORDINANCE THAT GOES ALONG WITH IT.

THAT'S GOING TO INCLUDE THE PERMITTED USES, THE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS, DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA THAT WILL SHOW HOW IT'S GOING TO SUPPORT RESPONSIBLE GROWTH AND PROTECT ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOODS AND ESSENTIAL PUBLIC SERVICES.

WITH THIS, OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE CLARITY TO ALL STAKEHOLDERS AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS SO THAT EVERYONE'S AWARE OF WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS ARE.

PROVIDES A PLATFORM TO EVALUATE A DEVELOPMENT WHEN IT COMES INTO THE CITY OF DECATUR, AND PROVIDES ACCOUNTABILITY IF SOMETHING EVER IS DEVELOPED IN THE CITY OF DECATUR. SO OUR DATA OVERSIGHT OVERLAY DISTRICT.

OF COURSE, LIKE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IS A PROACTIVE APPROACH ON THIS.

THROUGH THE ORDINANCE, WE WILL ESTABLISH THE OVERLAY DISTRICT.

IT WILL INCLUDE THE REGULATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS IN THERE.

THESE THESE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS INCLUDE THE LOT SIZE, SPECIAL REGULATIONS WITH SETBACKS, PARKING FACADE TREATMENTS, LIGHTING AS WELL AS BUFFERING AND SCREENING REQUIREMENTS, NOISE STUDY AND MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS VERIFICATION OF STATE AND LOCAL UTILITY INTERCONNECTION APPROVALS AND WATER AND WASTEWATER CAPACITY STUDIES THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED FOR THIS. THE ORDINANCE WILL ADDRESS THE OPERATIONS OF A DATA CENTER IF THEY MOVE FORWARD WITH THE DEVELOPMENT IN DECATUR. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE FOUND IN OUR RESEARCH ON THIS IS WITH THAT LIFESPAN OF THAT DATA CENTER, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A DECOMMISSIONING PLAN FOR THAT.

ONCE THAT DATA CENTER HAS RUN ITS LIFE, HOW THEY'RE DECOMMISSIONING THAT BUILDING SO IT CAN MOVE ON TO ITS NEXT PURPOSE IN LIFE.

AND THEN OF COURSE, THE ORDINANCE WILL ADDRESS PENALTIES FOR NONCOMPLIANCE FOR WHATEVER COMES INTO THIS IN FOR DEVELOPMENT. SO OUR DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS YOU'RE GOING TO BE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THESE, THESE ARE THE SAME THINGS THAT WE LOOK AT ON ANY TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT. ALL OF OUR ZONING ORDINANCES ARE AND DISTRICTS IN THE CITY HAVE THESE MINIMUM LOT AREA, MINIMUM LOT WIDTH, DEPTH, FRONT YARD SETBACKS, SIDE YARD SETBACKS, REAR YARD SETBACKS.

THOSE ARE ALL THINGS THAT THAT WE'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH IN ALL OF OUR ZONING DISTRICTS.

THIS OVERLAY DISTRICT WILL HAVE ITS OWN DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR ALL OF THESE, AND THEY WILL BE SPECIFIED IN THAT OVERLAY DISTRICT. IT WILL HAVE THE SPECIAL REGULATIONS TO ADDRESS ADDITIONAL SETBACK REQUIREMENTS. WHENEVER WE HAVE THESE SPECIAL, THESE SPECIAL REGULATIONS, THESE ADDITIONAL SETBACK REQUIREMENTS, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KNOW EXACTLY WHERE WE EXPECT THAT MEASUREMENT TO BE TAKEN FROM WHEN WE HAVE ADDITIONAL SETBACKS.

AND YOU'LL SEE THE, THE NEXT SLIDE WILL IDENTIFY SOME OF THOSE SPECIAL REGULATIONS AND SPECIAL INSTANCES WHEN THOSE WILL BE USED.

BUT WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE IDENTIFYING IN THE ORDINANCE THAT WHERE THOSE MEASUREMENTS ARE TAKEN FROM, SO THAT THERE'S NO AMBIGUITY AS TO WHAT THAT WOULD BE.

THIS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN THE SLIDE THAT WE PRESENTED TO CITY COUNCIL THE OTHER NIGHT.

THERE WAS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT WE RECEIVED ABOUT THE USES OUT ALONG 4010, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE CAPTURING WHAT WHAT ALL OF THE USES ARE ALONG THAT CORRIDOR THAT'S IN THERE.

DATA CENTER SEPARATION DISTANCES. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE SPELLING OUT EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT THESE THESE SPECIAL INSTANCES OF THINGS THAT WE WANT TO PROTECT ARE.

SO IN THIS, WE'RE INCLUDING PLAYGROUNDS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, CHURCHES,

[00:30:02]

AND WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT CONSIDERATION OF OUR NEIGHBORS IN THE ETJ'S THAT HAVE THESE SAME USES ARE CONSIDERED IN THESE SETBACKS. WE'RE ALSO GOING TO WORK THROUGH THE BUFFERING AND SCREENING REQUIREMENTS.

WE DO HAVE A MINIMUM HEIGHT FOR A DECORATIVE SOLID MASONRY WALL TO BE AROUND THE PROPERTY FOR THIS IN THE ORDINANCE THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT WOULD BE BROKEN UP BY A LANDSCAPE BUFFER THAT WOULD BE AROUND THE PROPERTY AS WELL, SO THAT IT'S NOT JUST A SOLID MASONRY FENCE THAT'S SETTING OUT THERE.

AND SO AS AN EXAMPLE, YOU CAN SEE THAT BETWEEN THE WALL AND ADJACENT PROPERTIES OR PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY, WE COULD PROPOSE A MINIMUM OF A CANOPY TREE EVERY 35 LINEAR FEET.

AN ORNAMENTAL TREE EVERY 20, 25 LINEAR FEET. AND THEN MAKING SURE THAT THE MAJORITY, THE PREPONDERANCE OF THESE ARE NATIVE SPECIES SO THAT THEY STAND UP TO OUR CLIMATE HERE.

THE SCREENING AND BUFFERING REQUIREMENTS WOULD EXTEND TO THE PARKING LOT, LANDSCAPING AND THE GROUND MOUNTED AND ROOFTOP.

THAT'S SIMILAR TO THE EXACT SAME THINGS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR ZONING ORDINANCE RIGHT NOW.

WE HAVE THESE GROUND MOUNTED EQUIPMENT SCREENING REQUIREMENTS, ROOFTOP EQUIPMENT SCREENING REQUIREMENTS.

THEY WILL ALSO BE BE APPLIED TO THIS OVERLAY DISTRICT.

WE HAVE A SECTION IN THERE THAT IS ADDRESSING RAINWATER STORMWATER CAPTURE SO THAT THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO SUPPLEMENT IRRIGATION ON THERE MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT MORE EASY TO, TO ADJUST FOR THE WATER USAGE THAT'S OUT THERE WHEN YOU'RE MAKING THESE ADJUSTMENTS FOR CONSERVATION OF STORM WATER AND RAIN WATER ON SITE.

NOISE STUDIES WE DID LOOK AT THIS. THERE'S, THERE'S A LARGE.

NOISE PROBLEM THAT COMES ALONG WITH, WITH DATA CENTERS AT CERTAIN TIMES.

AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ADDRESSING THAT AHEAD OF TIME.

SO WE WOULD HAVE A PRE-SUBMISSION STUDY THAT WOULD COME IN TO ADDRESS WHAT NOISE WOULD BE PRODUCED ON SITE BY THE EQUIPMENT THAT THEY'RE BRINGING IN WITH THIS. THE STUDY HAS TO INCLUDE ALL PHASES OF ANY TYPE OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT THAT'S COMING IN.

AND THEN THE STUDY WOULD WOULD ADDRESS MAXIMUM NOISE OUTPUT FOR ANY TYPE OF NOISE GENERATING EQUIPMENT, WHETHER IT'S COOLING EQUIPMENT, GENERATORS OR JUST NOISE IN GENERAL BASED OFF OF THE THE OPERATIONS ON THE SITE.

WE HAVE IDENTIFIED A METHODOLOGY THAT CAN PREDICT THESE THESE NOISE GENERATIONS ON HERE.

THIS ISO 9613 IS THE INTERNATIONAL STANDARD FOR HOW SOUND TRAVELS OUTDOORS.

THERE IS A A PREDICTIVE METHOD THAT'S INVOLVED WITH THAT.

SO THEY ARE ABLE TO USE THAT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD TO APPLY TO THE EQUIPMENT THAT WILL BE ON SITE AND PREDICT THE NOISE LEVEL THAT WOULD BE THERE.

WE WOULD ALSO BE LOOKING AT INCORPORATING SOUND ABSORPTIVE BARRIERS IN THEIR CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES, AS WELL AS ACOUSTIC MATERIALS IN THE CONSTRUCTION ON THERE, SO THAT THEY'RE ACCOUNTING FOR ANY TYPE OF NOISE THAT WOULD BE ALONG COME WITH WITH THE DEVELOPMENT. WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ACHIEVING WHATEVER THAT NOISE STUDY HAS CALLED FOR.

WE ARE PROPOSING A POST DEVELOPMENT SOUND STUDY.

FOR EXAMPLE, AT 60 DAYS AFTER THE ISSUANCE OF THE CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY FOR EACH PHASE OF THE DEVELOPMENT, THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO A STUDY TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE MEETING WHAT THOSE SOUND LEVELS ARE AT THE PROPERTY LINE FOR THAT THESE INSPECTIONS WOULD BE COMPLETED BY A THIRD PARTY THAT WOULD BE APPROVED BY THE CITY AND BE PAID FOR BY THE DEVELOPER.

ONE OF THE PRE-SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT ON THIS IS MAKING SURE THAT THEY'VE FILED THEIR PAPERWORK AND HAVE APPROVAL FROM ERCOT FOR CONNECTION TO THE UTILITY GRID. THERE IS A PRE-SUBMISSION SUBMITTAL THAT THEY CAN DO SO THAT THEY ARE AWARE THAT ERCOT IS AWARE OF THE ADDITIONAL LOAD THAT WILL BE ON THE GRID, AND IT'S ACCOUNTED FOR AND CAN BE SERVED, AND THAT THEY HAVE THE CAPACITY AVAILABLE FOR

[00:35:02]

WE'VE LOOKED AT SEVERAL CITIES AND HOW THEY HAVE ADDRESSED THIS.

WE'VE GOT SEVERAL DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE'VE INCLUDED INTO THIS REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE IN THE ORDINANCE THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH.

FIRST OFF, STARTING WITH A PRE-SUBMISSION UTILITY CAPACITY CAPACITY ANALYSIS, SO THAT WE'RE SURE THAT THE CITY OF DECATUR CAN SERVE THIS AND WHAT THE CAPACITIES AND WHAT THE USES ARE GOING TO BE ON THE PROPERTY.

THEY CAN, THEY CAN BE ABLE TO GIVE US THAT ANALYSIS PRIOR TO SUBMITTING FOR ANYTHING.

SO WE KNOW WHAT THE IMPACT WILL BE ON OUR UTILITIES WORKING THROUGH A WATER USAGE AGREEMENT WITH ANY TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT SO THAT WE KNOW AND THEY'RE AWARE OF WHAT THOSE WATER LIMITATIONS ARE WITH THEIR DEVELOPMENT, WATER LOADING STUDY ANY TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT WITH THIS THAT'S USING ANY TYPE OF WATER COOLING WITH THIS WILL HAVE A CERTAIN CAPACITY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO NEED TO ON LOAD AND MAKE WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF WHAT THAT INITIAL LOADING REQUIREMENT IS AND THAT WE'RE ABLE TO HANDLE WHATEVER THAT LOADING REQUIREMENT IS. ANY TYPE OF COOLING SYSTEM THAT WOULD COME IN HERE WOULD BE LIMITED TO SOME TYPE OF CONSERVATION TYPE SYSTEM, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE A CLOSED LOOP SYSTEM, AN AIR COOLED SYSTEM, OR RE WATER COOLING SYSTEM.

THE EVAPORATIVE COOLING SYSTEMS THAT SOME OF THE OLDER DATA CENTERS USE WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED FOR THIS.

THOSE ARE THOSE ARE VERY HEAVY WATER USERS. AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE USING SOMETHING THAT CONSERVES THE WATER ON SITE.

AND AGAIN, THAT WOULD BE A PRE SUBMISSION. WE'D WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THAT CAPACITY ANALYSIS BEFORE THEY START ANY TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT ON THIS.

THAT LOADING STUDY THAT WE TALKED ABOUT ON THERE WOULD IDENTIFY THE WATER DEMAND FOR THAT PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT THAT'S ON THERE.

SO WE WOULD KNOW THAT AHEAD OF TIME MOVING IN, IT WOULD BE ABLE TO EVALUATE THE SYSTEM IMPACTS ON OUR UTILITIES AND OUR INFRASTRUCTURE, AND BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY AND SPECIFY ANY OFFSITE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WOULD NEED TO BE DONE IN ORDER TO SERVE THIS DEVELOPMENT.

AND WITH THAT, THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO WOULD BE ABLE TO PLACE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS BACK ON THAT DEVELOPER TO FULLY FUND ANY TYPE OF EXTENSIONS OR IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE NEEDED TO SERVE THIS, A DEVELOPMENT THAT MIGHT COME IN.

ONE OF THE INTERESTING THINGS THAT WE CAME ALONG ON THIS AND FOUND WAS A ORDINANCE THAT REQUIRED DEDICATED METERS FOR EACH OF THE WATER USES ON THE PROPERTY. SO IF YOU ARE USING DOMESTIC WATER, AS FOR COOLING, IT WOULD HAVE ITS OWN WATER METER.

YOUR DOMESTIC USES SUCH AS YOUR RESTROOMS, YOUR BREAK ROOMS, WATER FOUNTAINS, THINGS LIKE THAT WOULD HAVE ITS OWN WATER METER, AND IRRIGATION WOULD HAVE ITS OWN WATER METER.

WHAT THAT ALLOWS US TO DO IS TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY WHAT THE WATER USAGE IS ON THAT PROPERTY AND WHAT THAT WATER USAGE IS GOING TO, AND WE HAVE A TIGHTER CONTROL IN THAT INSTANCE.

WASTEWATER REQUIREMENTS. WE HAVE A HEALTHY WASTEWATER ORDINANCE THAT'S ALREADY IN PLACE.

AND SO WE'LL DEFINITELY BE MAKING SURE THAT IT MEETS ALL OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THESE EPA PRETREATMENT STREAMLINING RULES FOR NON SIGNIFICANT INDUSTRIAL USERS.

IT'S A VERY SPECIFIC CRITERIA THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO MEET, MAKING SURE THAT THEY ARE LIMITING THEIR WASTEWATER DISCHARGE AMOUNTS, THAT THEY HAVE COMPLIANCE FOR ANY PRETREATMENT THAT GOES INTO THAT THAT WASTEWATER DISCHARGE.

THERE'S A ANNUAL CERTIFICATION UNDER THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS, AND IT MAKES SURE THAT THE DISCHARGE OF UNTREATED CONCENTRATED WASTEWATER IS NOT ALLOWED. SO WE'RE NOT HAVING A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON OUR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.

WAYNE, WHAT IS NSIU. NON SIGNIFICANT INDUSTRIAL USER.

OKAY. AND THERE'S THERE'S A LOT OF CRITERIA. THEY HAVE TO FALL INTO THAT.

WE'LL HAVE SOME MORE INFORMATION ON THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS.

[00:40:03]

SO AS A SUMMARY ON THIS THE OVERLAY DISTRICT WOULD BE A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE EDC AND PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL LAYER OF REVIEW FOR PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS THAT MIGHT WANT TO COME TO DECATUR.

THEY HAVE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENTS THAT THEY CAN ENTER INTO WITH ANY TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT THAT WANTS TO COME IN HERE.

SO THAT'S AN ADDITIONAL LAYER THAT CAN BE ADDED IN ON THAT.

THE PROPOSED REGULATIONS DO ALLOW ANY PROSPECTIVE DEVELOPMENTS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE EXPECTATION TO DEVELOP IN DECATUR IS.

THAT ALLOWS THEM TO DECIDE IF THIS IS A MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL AGREEMENT, OR IF WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH THAT.

WE KNOW THAT THE NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION IS GOING TO PROVIDE SOME INPUT ON DATA.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT'S GOING TO BE RIGHT NOW. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE AHEAD OF THIS CURVE, AND WE HAVE THIS REGULATION IN PLACE AND READY TO GO UNTIL WE HAVE ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE FROM THE STATE.

IF THERE IS CHANGE OR CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE MADE BASED ON ADOPTED LEGISLATION, WE'LL BE READY TO LOOK AT THAT AND BE COME BACK TO YOU FOR AN AMENDMENT TO IT. AS WE MOVE THROUGH WITH THIS, BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THESE REGULATIONS WOULD BE ADOPTED OR IF THEY WOULD ALLOW ADOPTED REGULATIONS THAT ARE ALREADY IN PLACE TO BE ABLE TO STAY.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE OUR FOOT ON THE GROUND AND HAVE SOMETHING READY TO GO BEFORE THOSE REGULATIONS ARE PASSED OUT OF GOOD. SO THE REGULATIONS ESTABLISHED IN THE OVERLAY DISTRICT WILL PROVIDE DIRECTION AND AN ESTABLISHED PROCESS TO ENSURE DECATUR HAS A PLAN IF A DEVELOPMENT IS PROPOSED. SO TONIGHT WE ARE LOOKING AT ONLY PROVIDING THIS INFORMATION TO YOU.

COUNCIL HAS INDICATED THAT THEY'RE SUPPORTIVE OF MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS TYPE OF ZONING REGULATION.

P&Z ACTION WOULD BE AT THE NOVEMBER 4TH MEETING FOR RECOMMENDATION OF A ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT FOR DATA CENTER OVERLAY DISTRICTS AND REGULATION. I DO I WANT TO STOP HERE AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

WE DO HAVE THE NEXT STEPS AND A PROPOSED TIMETABLE OR TIMELINE, THAT WE CAN PROVIDE YOU AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS? WELL, ALL I CAN SAY IS, WOW, Y'ALL HAVE REALLY DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS.

I THINK YOU, LISA, THE ENTIRE STAFF. THAT'S GOOD.

IT WAS IT WAS A JOINT EFFORT WITH A LOT OF LOT OF DEPARTMENTS.

CAN I ASK A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS? NUMBER ONE, THE ISO STANDARD THAT WAS MENTIONED FOR THE NOISE TEST.

SO THAT PRESCRIBES THE PROCEDURE. YES, SIR. DOES IT IS THERE A STANDARD SOMEWHERE THAT SAYS THESE ARE THE RECOMMENDED LEVELS FOR AN INDUSTRIAL AREA NEXT TO A RESIDENTIAL AREA? YES.

THAT COMES WITH THAT ISO STANDARD. IF I IF I'M REMEMBERING THIS, LISA DID MOST OF THE RESEARCH ON THIS ISO.

SO I'M GOING TO LET HER SPEAK TO IT. WELL, SO I, I PULLED FROM A LOT OF DIFFERENT MUNICIPALITY ORDINANCES AND I LOOKED AT THEM AND THEY HAVE LIKE HERTZ LEVELS AND DECIBEL LEVELS THAT ARE PRESCRIBED AND RECOMMENDED.

SO ONCE WE GET INTO THE ORDINANCE, THOSE ACTUAL LEVELS WILL BE IN A CHART EMBEDDED INTO THE ORDINANCE.

PERFECT. THANK YOU. YES. CAN I ADD A FOLLOW UP? SURE, SURE. DO WE CURRENTLY HAVE ANY KIND OF TECHNOLOGY THAT WOULD PICK UP SOMETHING OTHER THAN LIKE THE HERTZ OR DECIBELS, LIKE THE THE VIBRATIONS, THE LOW TONAL STUFF, LIKE THE ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

THAT WOULD BE YOUR, YOUR HERTZ IS WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE MEASURING FOR THAT.

FOR, FOR THAT, THAT TONAL SOUND THAT THAT'S BEEN DESCRIBED FROM SOME OF THESE THAT WOULD BE YOUR HERTZ THAT COMES OFF OF THAT.

AND DO WE HAVE ANYTHING CURRENTLY THAT CAN PICK THAT UP THAT WE HAVE AS THE CITY? WE DO NOT. IT WOULD BE SOMETHING IT WOULD BE THAT THAT AFTER DEVELOPMENT.

TESTING THAT WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. AND WE'RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE ADDITIONAL TESTING THAT CAN BE REQUIRED IF THERE'S COMPLAINTS, IF WE'RE IF WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO DETERMINE IF SOMETHING'S CHANGED, WE CAN REQUIRE ANOTHER TEST.

WELL, WE ESTABLISH A BASELINE BEFORE ANY BUILDING BEGINS.

YES. THAT'S PART OF THE THE LITTLE CHART THAT WILL BE IN THE ORDINANCE.

[00:45:01]

CAN I ASK A SECOND QUESTION? FIRST OF ALL, A LOT OF GREAT WORK HERE.

SO SO KUDOS. BUT YOU SHOWED A CHART THAT SHOWED 100 MILLION GALLONS PER YEAR, 5 MILLION GALLONS A DAY.

I, I BELIEVE THE NUMBERS, I'M NOT DEBATING THE NUMBERS, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S PROBABLY ANOTHER SET OF NUMBERS FOR A CLOSED LOOP SYSTEM.

THESE MUST BE OPEN LOOP SYSTEM NUMBERS. YES, SIR.

SO IT'S JUST A IT'S JUST AN INTERNET SEARCH PHOTO THAT TO GO ALONG WITH THE SLIDE.

I APPRECIATE THAT, BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO SHARE, MY HUMBLE ADVICE IS IF YOU'RE GOING TO SHARE A CHART THAT HAS NUMBERS THAT MAY CAUSE UNNECESSARY REACTION, RIGHT. SO ALL I'M SUGGESTING IS IT'S FINE TO SHOW WHAT AN OPEN LOOP SYSTEM TYPICALLY IS, BUT YOU'RE ALSO PROPOSING THAT WE WOULD RECOMMEND A CLOSED LOOP SYSTEM.

SO WHAT ARE THOSE NUMBERS. AND IS IS THERE A SECOND CHART THAT SHOULD BE PRESENTED AS WELL? SURE. THAT'S MY ONLY FEEDBACK. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU.

WOULD THERE BE ANYTHING IN THE ORDINANCE THAT ADDRESSED THEM PRODUCING SOME OF THEIR OWN POWER, LIKE SOLAR PANELS, WINDMILLS, ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

THAT'S SOMETHING I'VE HEARD OTHER PEOPLE REQUESTING OR REQUIRING THAT THEY PRODUCE, YOU KNOW, 70% OR WHATEVER NUMBER IT IS. WE HAVE NOT ADDRESSED THAT AT THIS TIME.

AND SO THAT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK AT.

ON THERE. NOW I WILL TELL YOU THAT WITH THE, WITH SOLAR THAT'S PROBABLY GOING TO TAKE MORE AREA OFF OF THE GROUND TO BE ABLE TO, FOR THEM TO CAPTURE ENOUGH SUNLIGHT IN ORDER TO PRODUCE THAT.

I'D SAY MAYBE LIKE THEIR ROOFTOP, YOU KNOW, THE ENTIRE ROOFTOP OF THE BUILDING, MAYBE COVERED PARKING.

I MEAN, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. TRY AND CONTAIN IT THERE, BUT STILL HAVE SOMETHING, SOME OPTIONS.

WE CAN DEFINITELY DIG INTO THAT TO SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE.

FROM MY RESEARCH THAT I'VE SEEN ON THIS. THE DATA CENTERS ARE THEY HAVE TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF BACKUP POWER SYSTEM.

THEY CANNOT GO DARK. SO THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE EMERGENCY GENERATORS THAT ARE ON SITE.

IF THEY HAVE SOME TYPE OF POWER CAPTURE BATTERY, BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THAT'S A POSSIBILITY THAT THEY MAY HAVE THAT ALSO INCORPORATED INTO THEIR DESIGN THAT'S ON THIS, BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY LOOK AT THAT AND SEE WHAT THE STANDARD AND WHAT THE, WHAT THE OTHER ORDINANCES THAT HAVE BEEN ADOPTED LOOK AT ON THERE. WE ARE LOOKING AT MAKING SURE THAT ERCOT HAS THE CAPACITY TO BE ABLE TO SERVE THAT BEFORE IT COMES ON BOARD. A LOT OF TIMES THE ELECTRICAL SIDE OF IT IS, IS LEFT UP TO THE STATE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A LOCAL UTILITY OF THIS. AND WHENEVER THEY TIE INTO THAT GRID, THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO BE SERVED BY THAT.

OKAY. AND ON THE BACK TO THE SOUND, THE I GUESS, POST-CONSTRUCTION TESTING, WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY FAIL THAT OR IF THEY'RE IN EXCESS, WILL THEY BE GIVEN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME TO CORRECT IT? KIND OF MY CONCERN IS THEY DON'T SAY, WELL, WE'LL WE'LL JUST PAY A FINE OF $5,000 A DAY AND MOVE FORWARD AND, AND IMPACT THE CITIZENS AND THE NEIGHBORS AND EVERYONE THAT IT ACTUALLY IS CORRECTED IN A TIMELY MANNER.

SURE. OUR PLAN IS TO HAVE A. LANGUAGE IN THERE, TO BE ABLE TO PUSH THEM, TO MAKE THOSE CORRECTIONS, NOT JUST TO TO PAY THE FINES, PUT SOME TEETH IN IT.

YES. YEAH. GOTCHA. OKAY. THERE'S THERE'S THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH THAT YOU CAN DO.

AS FAR AS ENFORCEMENT OFF OF THAT. BUT THERE ARE PATHWAYS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT IF THEY ARE IN VIOLATION OF A CITY ORDINANCE. THEY COULD WE COULD MOVE FORWARD WITH COURT ACTION IN ORDER TO COMPEL THAT.

OKAY. THANK YOU. I'VE GOT ONE MORE, AND I KNOW YOU HAVE MORE TO GO.

JUST A COUPLE OF PAGES TO SHOW TIMELINES AND WHAT WE'RE CHANGING.

IF WE GO AHEAD AND CREATE THE OVERLAY, DOES THAT MEAN SOMEBODY ELSE? OR DOES THAT MEAN SOMEBODY GETS TO BUILD A DATA CENTER THERE? OR DOES THAT JUST MEAN THAT THEY'RE ALLOWED TO ASK? AND THE REASON I'M ASKING THIS IS I WANT US TO DECIDE FROM DAY ONE WHETHER A REAL PROJECT HAS TO COME BACK FOR A SPECIAL APPROVAL,

[00:50:08]

UNLESS THAT'S WHAT THE COUNCIL INTENDS THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE RESERVED FOR THAT SPOT.

SO THE DATA OVERLAY DISTRICT WOULD BE A VERY NARROWLY DEFINED AREA.

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO JUST ADD AN OVERLAY DISTRICT IN A DIFFERENT PLACE.

THAT WOULD BE WHERE YOU HAVE TO COME BACK FOR COUNCIL ACTION ON THIS.

SO WITH THAT PROPOSAL, WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT IS THAT IT WOULD BE ABLE TO GO INTO BY RIGHT INTO A OVERLAY DISTRICT AREA. AND THAT'S WHY WE ARE NARROWLY DEFINING WHAT THAT OVERLAY DISTRICT WOULD BE AND MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE THE APPROPRIATE BUFFERS IN BETWEEN THAT AND THOSE OTHER USES THAT WE WANT TO PROTECT FROM.

THE REASON I ASK THAT IS BECAUSE I'M CURIOUS WHAT THE ZONING FOR A DATA CENTER IS GOING TO BE IN DECATUR AND WHAT WE ARE GOING TO CALL A DATA CENTER, BECAUSE THAT'S A VERY GENERIC OPEN TERM.

AND AGAIN, THE REASON I'M ASKING THAT IS LOOKING AT THE 2050 PLAN.

IT ALREADY HAS TECHNOLOGY AND DATA CENTERS AS A PRIMARY USE IN MANUFACTURING AND DISTRIBUTION.

RIGHT. AM I RIGHT ON THAT? I THINK I AM. SO THAT ANSWERS LONG RANGE LAND USE QUESTIONS, BUT IT DOESN'T ITSELF TELL US WHAT THE ZONING DISTRICTS ARE GOING TO ALLOW AND WHETHER THEY'RE GOING TO NEED THE SPECIAL PROVISION, OR IF IT'S A TRUE DATA CENTER OR A BUSINESS THAT SIMPLY HAS A LOT OF SERVERS, FOR EXAMPLE, AND KIND OF WHAT ARE WE GOING TO CALL IT? WHAT'S THE DEFINITION? WE ARE ESTABLISHING DEFINITIONS FOR THIS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE CAPTURING WHAT A DATA DATA CENTER IS.

AND IT'S THE PURPOSE OF THAT IS. SO IT'S LOOSE ENOUGH THAT NOBODY CAN GET AROUND IT, BUT NOT SO TIGHT THAT SOMEBODY THAT SHOULDN'T BE IN IT GETS LUMPED INTO IT.

RIGHT. RIGHT. SO THAT'S THE PLAN. GO AHEAD. AND SO THIS OVERLAY IS IN THE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL.

SO HEAVY INDUSTRIAL IS YOUR ZONING DISTRICT. THIS THAT'S THE UNDERLYING ZONING WHERE THE EDC PROPERTY IS.

THAT'S HEAVY INDUSTRIAL. BUT WE'RE NOT PROPOSING IT IN OTHER HEAVY INDUSTRIAL AREAS ZONED IN THE CITY ONLY IN THIS SECTION OF THE EDC PROPERTY. SO THAT OVERLAY CAPTURES JUST A CERTAIN PORTION WITH ALL THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, THE ADDITIONAL SETBACKS, ADDITIONAL BUFFERING, ALL OF THOSE WILL BE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS DIRECTLY TIED TO ANY DATA CENTER PROPOSALS. OKAY. THANK YOU. DID THAT GET ALL OF YOUR ANSWER? QUESTION. ANSWER. YES. OKAY. I HAVE A QUESTION.

GIVEN WHAT YOU'VE JUST BEEN DISCUSSING, WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO PUT A DATA CENTER IN SHOWS UP ONE DAY AND SAYS, OH, WE JUST BOUGHT THE LANDMARK PROPERTY AND WE'RE GOING TO PUT A DATA CENTER ON IT AS IT'S PROPOSED RIGHT NOW.

THE. I MEAN, IT'S ZONED HEAVY INDUSTRIAL. IT IS NOT WITHIN THIS OVERLAY DISTRICT.

RIGHT. HOW DO WE SAY, OH, YOU YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

IT WOULD HAVE TO BE IN THE OVERLAY DISTRICT IN ORDER TO GET PERMITTED.

I'M SORRY. IN ORDER FOR US TO ISSUE PERMITS. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? YEAH. SO IT WOULD HAVE TO MEET THE ZONING TO BE IN THE DATA CENTER OVERLAY DISTRICT.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS. MOVE FORWARD. GO AHEAD.

OKAY. LET ME. SO OUR NEXT STEPS, LISA AND I ARE GOING TO GO BACK AND START WORKING ON THE ORDINANCE AND MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE EVERYTHING IN PLACE TO MOVE THIS FORWARD.

WE WILL BE AMENDING ARTICLE THREE, WHICH IS DEFINITIONS AND ADDING THOSE DEFINITIONS SPECIFIC TO DATA CENTERS TO ARTICLE THREE, AMENDING ARTICLE FIVE, WHICH IS THE ZONING DISTRICT THAT WILL CREATE A NEW DATA CENTER OVERLAY DISTRICT AND ADOPT THE DATA CENTER DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS THAT WOULD GO ALONG WITH THAT WOULD ALSO AMEND ARTICLE SIX USE REGULATIONS AND THE USE CHART SHOWING WHERE THAT COULD BE IN WITH A HEAVY INDUSTRIAL ZONING AND IN A DATA CENTER OVERLAY DISTRICT.

[00:55:09]

WE WILL TRY TO GET THESE OUT AHEAD OF TIME SO THAT YOU HAVE TIME TO STUDY THEM AND HAVE QUESTIONS OR RECOMMENDATIONS AS WE MOVE THROUGH THAT.

SO YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT THE CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC DISCUSSION WAS HELD ON SEPTEMBER 28TH.

THE P AND Z DISCUSSION TODAY P AND Z PUBLIC HEARING FOR RECOMMENDATION ON NOVEMBER 4TH.

MOVING TO A CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING AND FIRST READING ON NOVEMBER 23RD.

AND THEN CITY COUNCIL, SECOND READING AND ADOPTION ON DECEMBER 14TH.

YES, SIR. THE MAP WHICH YOU HAVE ATTACHED TO THIS.

THE HATCHED AREA IS INCLUDES LANDMARK AND OTHER AREAS WHICH ARE NOT INCLUDED IN YOUR OVERLAY DISTRICT.

IS THAT JUST A. THE EXISTING BUSINESSES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE OUTSIDE OF THE OVERLAY DISTRICT.

SO THE MAP IS MISTAKEN? YES. YES. THAT WAS. I NOTICED THAT WHENEVER I HAD THIS IN FRONT OF ME, THAT THAT OVERLAY DISTRICT WENT OVER LANDMARK, BUT IT WOULD NOT ENCOMPASS EXISTING BUSINESSES THAT ARE OUT THERE.

AND MATTER OF FACT, THE INDUSTRIAL PIECE, IT WOULD PULL BACK FROM THERE ALSO.

AND IN RELATED ONE LAST THING IN CONNECTION WITH WHAT BRAD WAS MENTIONING.

ARE YOU SAYING THAT OUR. SOMEWHERE IN OUR EXISTING ORDINANCE, YOU SAW THAT.

OR WAS IT THE 2020 THE 2050 PLAN FOR DATA CENTERS WERE MENTIONED IN ANY INDUSTRIAL AREA? WHAT I FOUND WAS IT LISTS TECHNOLOGY SLASH DATA CENTERS AS A PRIMARY USE IN MANUFACTURING AND DISTRIBUTION.

OKAY. SO DOES THAT POSSIBLY MEAN THAT AS A PART OF, OF THE DRAFTING OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

FOR THIS, WE NEED TO REVISIT THE GENERAL LANGUAGE.

THAT'S THAT'S THAT SAYS WHAT CAN BE PLACED IN MANUFACTURING AREAS TO REMOVE DATA CENTERS FROM THAT SO THAT IT IS THEN LIMITED TO THIS. SO THE LAND USE FOR MANUFACTURING WOULD FALL INTO A HEAVY INDUSTRIAL ZONE. WE'LL VERIFY THAT IF WE DO NEED TO MAKE A LAND USE ASSUMPTION OFF OF THIS, WE WILL. BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THAT THIS IS GOING TO FALL INTO THE LAND USE THAT IS ALREADY ASSIGNED TO.

I JUST WANT TO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT EXISTING PROPERTY, WHICH IS OUR FUTURE PROPERTY, WHICH IS IN AN INDUSTRIAL ZONING, BUT NOT WITHIN THIS DOES NOT HAVE DATA CENTER LISTED AS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT YOU CAN PUT IN HERE INADVERTENTLY.

SURE. RIGHT. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND THAT THE MAP THAT YOU HAVE AT YOUR DAIS LOCATION, IT IS CORRECT. IT DOES NOT SHOW LANDMARK THAT'S INCLUDED IN THAT OVERLAY DISTRICT.

THIS WAS AN EARLIER VERSION OF THIS MAP THAT GOT PUT INTO THE SLIDE ON THIS.

BUT YOU CAN SEE WITH THE MAP THAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU, LANDMARK AND THE OTHER DEVELOPED BUSINESSES THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE INDUSTRIAL PARK ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THAT OVERLAY DISTRICT. ANY CHANGES TO THAT OVERLAY DISTRICT WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK THROUGH CHANGE AND AMENDMENT TO THAT, THROUGH PLANNING AND ZONING, AND THEN ON TO CITY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS.

THANK YOU WAYNE. WE DO WANT INPUT OFF THIS, SO WE APPRECIATE.

WE CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON PLANNING AND ZONING TO ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS.

WE APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH. IF YOU THINK OF SOMETHING ALONG THE WAY, PLEASE CALL MYSELF OR LISA ALONG THE WAY.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COVERING EVERYBODY'S CONCERNS OFF OF THIS, AND WE'LL BE WORKING ON THIS OVER THE NEXT MONTH, GETTING IT READY. WE'LL GET IT OUT TO YOU AND ROLL IT OUT TO YOU AS QUICKLY AS WE POSSIBLY CAN SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE TIME TO STUDY IT BEFORE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION OFF OF IT.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

I THINK WE'RE STILL UNDER FIVE DISCUSSION ITEMS. AND WE'RE GOING TO NUMBER SEVEN. YES, SIR. SO SPEAKING OF LAND USE AND OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN,

[V.7. Land-Use Workshop – October 20, 2026 – 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Decatur Convention Center.]

[01:00:10]

AS FAR AS HAZARD MITIGATION AND WILL IN TURN UPDATE THE ZONING ORDINANCE AS WELL.

SO KIMLEY-HORN WAS AWARDED THAT CONTRACT TO WORK WITH THE CITY ON UPDATING OUR LAND USE ELEMENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

WE HAVE A LAND USE WORKSHOP SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 20TH AT THE CONFERENCE CENTER FROM 6 TO 8 P.M..

WE WILL BE GETTING OUT. IT WILL BE IN THE FRIDAY REPORT.

WE'VE GOT A FLIER HAS A QR CODE. IT CAME IN AFTER THIS WAS THE PRESENTATION WAS DONE, BUT THERE'S A WEBSITE ALSO THAT IS RELATED TO THIS THAT YOU CAN GO ON AND TAKE A SURVEY.

YOU COULD DO IT AT THE AT THE WORKSHOP. SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO EVERYBODY SHOWING UP AND HAVING SOME GREAT INPUT WITH US.

JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU GUYS THAT AS AN FYI. OKAY.

NUMBER SIX CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS. LISA NUMBER EIGHT.

[VI. CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS]

SO YOU CAN EITHER PULL THEM AND DISCUSS THEM OR JUST APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS WRITTEN.

COMMISSIONERS. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I'D OFFER A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS SUBMITTED.

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

I GOT A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER JOHN LANIER FOR APPROVAL.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? OKAY. NUMBER 7, A FUTURE AGENDA.

[VII. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS]

IT'S A CHANGE DUE TO THE ELECTION. SO THE SUBMITTAL DEADLINE WAS MONDAY.
