Apr 09, 2026 City Council

ALL RIGHT, SO, FIRST, PERSON SIGNED UP TO SPEAK IS CRYSTAL ERICKSON.

COLLINS, WHO RESIDES IN THE CITY. AND, THE TOPIC IS SAFETY OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

WHICH I THINK YOU'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE, BUT THIS IS A RECAP OF THREE MINUTES.

AND YOU'LL GET THAT WARNING LIGHTS AT THE ONE MINUTE AND ONE MINUTE WARNING LIGHT IS THE OTHER.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORDS.

THEY WERE WELL SPOKEN AND REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE BE REMINDED OF WHO WE ARE.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF CEDAR PARK CITY COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS CRYSTAL ERICKSON COLLINS.

I LIVE IN CEDAR PARK, AND I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT OUR NEIGHBORS AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE HERE.

I BELIEVE IN THE VALUES THAT WE ESPOUSE HERE THAT ARE SCONCE AROUND THE KITCHEN, WHICH IS WHY I'M HERE TONIGHT TO SPEAK TO YOU.

OUR CITY IS STRONGER BECAUSE OF THE DIVERSITY OF THE FAMILIES WHO LIVE HERE.

MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS ARE IMMIGRANTS, IMMIGRANTS, PEOPLE WHO WORK AND OWNED BUSINESSES, WORSHIP IN OUR CHURCHES, VOLUNTEER AND WORK IN OUR SCHOOLS, AND RAISE THEIR CHILDREN ALONGSIDE OURS.

THEY ARE PART OF THE FABRIC OF THIS COMMUNITY.

THEY ARE OUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS, AND FOLKS WHO ENRICH OUR LIVES IN MULTIPLE WAYS.

MY SISTER IN LAW IS A NATURALIZED CITIZEN AND KINDERGARTEN TEACHER.

IN LAST.

BUT TODAY, MANY FAMILIES LIVE WITH FEAR THAT INTERACTIONS WITH LOCAL SYSTEMS, SCHOOLS, LIBRARIES, HEALTH SYSTEMS, OR EVEN CALLING THE POLICE FOR HELP COULD EXPOSE THEM TO ICE VIOLENCE.

WHEN PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO REPORT CRIMES, SEEK MEDICAL CARE, OR PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNITY LIFE, THE ENTIRE CITY BECOMES LESS SAFE AND LESS CONNECTED.

WE'VE SEEN THE IMPACT ON OUR COMMUNITY AS WE'VE WATCHED FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES TAKEN FROM THEIR VEHICLES, TARGETED AT SCHOOL, ABDUCTED AT WORK, OR INVADED IN THEIR OWN HOMES.

NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE HAD TO BE CREATED BY BUILDING SAFETY NETWORKS TO PROTECT THEIR RESIDENTS, INCLUDING STUDENTS, CHILDREN, AS THEY WALK TO AND FROM SCHOOL.

NO ONE IN OUR COMMUNITY CAN REMAIN SILENT AT THIS DANGEROUS TIME.

I'M ASKING FOR COUNCIL TO TAKE STEPS TO PROTECT THE MOST VULNERABLE IN OUR COMMUNITY, IN SPITE OF THE CONSTRAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN IMPOSED BY THE STATE.

OTHER JURISDICTIONS ARE FINDING WAYS TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THEIR RESIDENTS AND CONSTITUENTS.

WE CAN DO THIS MIGHT INCLUDE POLICIES THAT LIMIT UNNECESSARY COOPERATION WITH FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT, PROTECTING RESIDENTS PERSONAL INFORMATION, AND CLEARLY COMMUNICATING THAT CITY SERVICES ARE SAFE FOR EVERYONE WHO LIVES HERE.

THESE AND OTHER ACTIONS WOULD MAKE OUR CITY STRONGER THAN SURE THAT EVERY RESIDENT OF CEDAR PARK CAN PARTICIPATE IN CIVIC LIFE WITHOUT FEAR.

A WELCOMING CITY IS A SAFER CITY, A HEALTHIER CITY, AND A MORE UNITED CITY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING WITH YOU AND HAVING A DISCUSSION.

THANK YOU FOR SOME.

NEXT PERSON SIGNED UP TO SPEAK IS, SALLY ROGER.

ON THE TOPIC OF PROJECT SAFE, RIGHT BY RESIDES IN THE CITY.

GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS AND MAYOR.

I WANT TO START WITH A SIMPLE QUESTION.

HAVE YOU EVER PARKED YOUR CAR AND WALKED AWAY AND SUDDENLY WONDERED, DID I FORGET SOMETHING? FOR MOST OF US, THIS MOMENT PASSES.

BUT FOR SOME FAMILIES, IT DOESN'T.

EVERY YEAR, DOZENS OF CHILDREN LOSE THEIR LIVES AFTER BEING LEFT IN HOT CARS NOT BECAUSE OF NEGLIGENCE, BUT BECAUSE OF SOMETHING FAR MORE DANGEROUS.

HUMAN MEMORY FAILURE.

IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE.

BUSY PARENTS, CAREGIVERS, PEOPLE WHO NEVER THOUGHT IT COULD BE THEM.

AND HERE'S THE HARDEST PART.

THESE TRAGEDIES ARE COMPLETELY PREVENTABLE.

MY NAME IS SALLY RODGER, AND I'M A STUDENT AT THE RIDGE HIGH SCHOOL.

A YOUTH ADVOCATE AND THE FOUNDER OF PROJECT SAFE RIDE.

[00:50:02]

PROJECT SAFE RIDE IS AN INITIATIVE FOCUSED ON RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND PROVIDING SIMPLE, PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS.

ONE OF THESE SOLUTIONS IS A FREE MOBILE APP THAT SENDS A REMINDER AFTER YOU PARK JUST A SMALL NUDGE THAT COULD SAVE A LIFE.

BUT THIS IS BIGGER THAN AN APP.

THIS IS ABOUT CREATING A MINDSET BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY DONE THIS.

WE ALWAYS MADE WEARING SEATBELTS A HABIT.

WE MADE IT. WE MADE DISTRACTED DRIVING A NO.

WE MADE GETTING A DESIGNATED DRIVER AFTER A NIGHT OUT A HABIT, AND WE MADE LOOKING TWICE AT CROSSWALKS A HABIT.

AND IN THE SAME WAY, WE CAN NORMALIZE CHECKING THE BACKSEAT EVERY SINGLE TIME.

TODAY, I'M HERE TO ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN MAKING THIS A RECOGNIZED SAFETY HABIT IN CEDAR PARK.

THIS COULD LOOK LIKE INCLUDING LOOK BEFORE YOU LOCK MESSAGING IN CITY SAFETY CAMPAIGNS, PARTNERING WITH SCHOOLS, DAYCARES, AND COMMUNITY EVENTS TO SPREAD AWARENESS AND SHARING INFORMATION THROUGH CITY PLATFORMS AND PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS.

SMALL ACTIONS BUT POWERFUL IMPACT BECAUSE AWARENESS IS WHAT TURNS ACCIDENTS INTO PREVENTION.

CEDAR PARK HAS ALWAYS BEEN A COMMUNITY THAT LEADS WITH CARE.

AND THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO LEAD AGAIN, TO PROTECT OUR MOST VULNERABLE RESIDENTS IN A WAY THAT IS SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE AND PROACTIVE.

BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT AN APP.

IT'S ABOUT CREATING A CULTURE WHERE FORGETTING IS NO LONGER AN OPTION.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND FOR YOUR COMMITMENT TO KEEPING OUR COMMUNITY SAFE IN.

THANK YOU, MR. RODGER.

THAT WAS A VERY IMPRESSIVE PRESENTATION, AND I'M SURE WE, WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE OF YOU AS SOON AS AN EMAIL AND, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE A REALLY IMPRESSIVE PROJECT THAT YOU'VE STARTED. SO I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT YOUR MOM GOT THE PICTURE SHE NEEDED IT.

OKAY, GOOD.

SO THAT WAS AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR PROJECT TO GIVE A GOOD PICTURE OF COUNCIL.

SO THANK YOU AGAIN.

FINALLY, WE HAVE, JOHN WOODLEY, WISHES TO SPEAK, THE PARKING PERMIT WAIVER DISCUSSION.

AND JOHN ALSO RESIDES IN THE CITY.

OH, I'M JOHN WOODLEY.

I'M AN ADVOCATE FOR DISABILITY ACCESS.

I CAME THROUGH CEDAR PARK.

MY MOTHER LIVES HERE, AND SHE HAD BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL CLOSE TO THE PAST YEAR.

I LIVE IN A MOTOR HOME.

SO I WHEN I CAME TO HER, THE LANDLORD VIRTUALLY REFUSED TO ALLOW HER TO PARK MY MOTOR HOME ON THE PROPERTY, EVEN THOUGH NOBODY PARKED IN THAT AREA OF THE PROPERTY.

SO I'VE BEEN FORCED TO MOVE IT FROM THE PROPERTY TODAY TO THE PUBLIC STREET OUTSIDE OF THE PROPERTY.

I LOOKED UP ON THE CITY CODE.

THE HAVE SOME PARKING PROHIBITING, ABOUT PARKING IN THE PUBLIC TREE.

UNDER 17.

AND, JOE, FOR THE JUDGE OF, PARKING PROHIBITED ON PUBLIC ROADWAY OR PUBLIC LOT ON ANOTHER SUBDIVISION OR TECHNICALLY, RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THAT.

BUT IT WAS PARKED OUT OF THE WAY.

TECHNICALLY, THERE A PERMIT, FOR UNDER TEN, ONE JOJO FOR RECREATIONAL VEHICLE PARKED ON A PUBLIC TRAIL.

I DON'T CONSIDER MY VEHICLE RECREATIONAL, JUST A MOTOR HOME.

I LIVE IN, SINCE MY MOTHER NEEDED TO LIVE IN A AND, I'M THE ONLY PERSON AVAILABLE AT THE TIME TO ASSIST, SO I NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO LOOK MY MOTOR HOME SOMEWHERE, WHICH, BECAUSE I DRIVE, I DON'T KNOW WHERE I.

PARKING IS FAILING.

I'M ON DISABILITY, AND I'M CALLING MYSELF, AND, I CAN'T AFFORD TEN HOURS A DAY.

FOR SEVEN CONSECUTIVE DAYS.

AND THEN THE 15 DAY PER CALENDAR YEAR, CAME BECAUSE I NEEDED LONG TERM PARKING.

SO I CAN ASSIST MY MOTHER.

I DON'T SEE ANY WAIVERS FOR LONG TERM PARKING, BUT THE STATE OF TEXAS DOES HAVE.

IF I HAVE A HANDICAPPED PLACARD OR, LICENSE PLATE,

[00:55:02]

THEY HAVE WAIVERS OF PARKING METER FEES.

AND I'M, I DON'T SEE ANY EXCEPTIONS.

AND, TO ALLOW HANDICAPPED PARKING ON THE PUBLIC, EVEN IF THE VEHICLE LARGER THAN NORMAL VEHICLE.

I WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH YOU ALL.

TRYING TO MAKE SOME MODIFICATIONS TO THE CODE TO, ALLOW ME TO BE ABLE TO PARKING ON PUBLIC STREET.

WHEN I FIRST CAME HERE AND I TALKED TO THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, BUT THE DOORS WERE LOCKED, SO I COULDN'T GET IN TO SPEAK WITH THEM.

I WHEN I WAS, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, THAT WHERE I FOUND THE $10 A DAY THING, BUT THEY DIDN'T TAKE CASH.

I NEEDED A PAID CAR.

OKAY. WELL, THANK YOU, MR. WHITLEY, FOR THE COMING SPEAKERS.

I THINK WE'LL WE'LL, ASK THAT TO GET WITH YOU AND MAKE SURE THEY GOT ALL THE DETAILS AND SEE WHAT.

WHAT, OPTIONS THERE ARE.

I'M HAPPY TO SEE THE CAPTAIN.

AND WE DON'T HAVE CAPTAIN IN HERE. SURE. YEAH.

AND WE'LL GET THAT WORKING THIS EVENING, BUT WE'LL, WE, THE STAFF WILL WORK WITH YOU TO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION.

AND THEN, WE'LL REVERT BACK TO YOU WITH WHAT? WHAT OPTIONS THERE ARE.

BUT WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOU COMING TO SPEAK TO US.

AND I APPRECIATE YOU HELPING TAKE CARE OF YOUR MOTHER.

I ALSO STOPPED BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, ONLY TO FIND THAT THEY CLOSED THE DAY, AND THE CALL BUTTON DOESN'T WORK, SO I CAN'T GET SOMEBODY TO COME OUT TO TALK TO ME UNTIL I COULD CARE IF I CAN HANDLE THE SITUATION THAT WAY AS WELL.

STAFF MEMBERS TALK WITH YOU THIS THIS EVENING AND GET YOUR INFORMATION, AND THEN TAKE THE CONVERSATION FORWARD FROM THERE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

LET'S CONTACT THERE FOR.

ANYONE ELSE HERE WISH TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON ITEMS NOT LISTED ON THE CITY'S AGENDA? ALL RIGHT.

SEEING NONE, I WILL, CLOSE ITEM C6, PLEASE CALL THE CONSENT AGENDA.

[Consent Agenda]

SHOW IT TO COUNCIL 2.3 OF THE CITY COUNCIL CONSENT AGENDA CONSIST OF AGENDA ITEMS E AND F.

I MOVED TO APPROVE SECOND, BUT A MOTION BY DUFFY.

SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? MAYBE OUR VOTING SCREENS TO COME UP.

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

CONSENT AGENDA IS APPROVED.

PLEASE CALL ITEM G1.

[Items G.1 & G.2]

CAN WE CALL G1 AND G2, PLEASE? OH, YES. WE CALL ITEM G1, G2 TOGETHER.

FIRST READINGS AND PUBLIC HEARINGS OF ORDINANCES FOR A FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT TO INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING.

IN ADDITION TO REZONING 9.99 ACRES TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WITH A CONDITIONAL OVERLAY LOCATED AT 110 OAKWOOD TRAIL.

BEGINNING.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL ANDRÉ WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

I'VE STATED THE TWO ITEMS THAT ARE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT ARE A REQUEST TO BE ABLE TO AMEND THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN TO INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING, AND ULTIMATELY REASON ON THE PROPERTY TO INDUSTRIAL LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WITH A CONDITIONAL OVERLAY.

FOR A PROPERTY THAT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT UNDER TEN ACRES LOCATED ON SCOTTSVILLE DRIVE, HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN DEVELOPED WITH A SINGLE FAMILY STRUCTURE AND SOME SUPPORTING WORKSHOP AND, ACCESSORY STRUCTURES AND IS SURROUNDED BY, VACANT, UNDEVELOPED LAND TO THE NORTH.

ALTHOUGH TO THE NORTH OF THAT IS THE CROSSING OVER TO THE EAST.

YOU HAVE A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S LOCATED IN THE ITJ.

TO THE SOUTH YOU HAVE A LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, CONSISTENT WITH A MIX OF, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OFFICE, URBAN WAREHOUSE AND WAREHOUSING DISTRIBUTION USES.

AND THEN TO THE WEST IS THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP.

AND SO THIS PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED DEVELOPMENT RESERVE AND IT IS DESIGNATED REGIONAL OFFICE RETAIL COMMERCIAL ON OUR FUTURE LAND USE PLAN TO BEGIN WITH, THE FIRST ITEM, WHICH IS THE, REQUEST TO AMEND THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN, I STATED THIS AMENDMENT WOULD, CHANGE THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION TO INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING SHOULD IT BE APPROVED.

THE PETITION THAT ALLOWED THIS PROCESS TO MOVE FORWARD WAS ACCEPTED BY THE COUNCIL AT YOUR JANUARY 22ND MEETING.

ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU CAN SEE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE THE CURRENT FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREAS, WHICH YOU CAN SEE

[01:00:02]

PRIMARILY CONSIST OF REGIONAL OFFICE, RETAIL, COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING ALONG SCOTTSVILLE DRIVE.

AND THEN ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, YOU SEE THE REQUESTED INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

AND SO THERE IS NOT ANY SPECIFIC PROJECT, RIGHT, CURRENTLY PROPOSED FOR THIS PROPERTY.

THE CONCEPT PLAN THAT YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF HOW THIS PROPERTY COULD BE DEVELOPED.

HOWEVER, THE INTENT IS TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE SOME LAND USES.

LIGHT INDUSTRIAL LAND USES ON THIS PROPERTY, CONSISTENT AND COMPATIBLE WITH WHAT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED ALONG CULTURAL DRIVE, INCLUDING SOME OFFICE SPACES, AND OTHER PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYMENT TYPE FACILITIES.

AND ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU IS THE CRITERIA TO CONSIDER WHEN, REVIEWING AMENDMENTS TO THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

NEXT ITEM IS THE ASSOCIATED REZONING REQUEST, WHICH, AS STATED EARLIER, IT'LL BE ABLE TO REZONE THE PROPERTY TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WITH A CONDITIONAL OVERLAY DISTRICT.

ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU SEE THE CURRENT ZONING DISTRICT OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND THE SURROUNDING AREA, WHICH INCLUDES A MIX OF GENERAL BUSINESS, LIGHT, INDUSTRIAL AND HEAVY COMMERCIAL.

AND THEN ON THE, RIGHT HAND SIDE, YOU SEE THE REQUESTED LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WITH THAT CONDITIONAL OVERLAY DISTRICT FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

AND SO THE CONDITIONAL OVERLAY DISTRICT PROPOSES TO IMPOSE SOME ADDITIONAL FEE INTEREST ON THE PROPERTY, IN ADDITION TO THOSE THAT ARE REQUIRED BY THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT AND THOSE, CONDITIONAL STANDARDS INCLUDE NO ACCESS TO OR FROM OAKLAND TRAIL.

SO THAT WOULD BE COMPLETELY RESTRICTED OUT OF THAT STREAM.

THERE WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL 50FT BUILDING AND PARKING SETBACK FROM THAT EAST PROPERTY LINE, WHICH IS WHERE THOSE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ARE LOCATED.

ALSO ANY LOADING DOCK DOORS, THAT ARE ON THE PROPERTY, WOULD HAVE TO BE LOOKING AT A MINIMUM OF 200FT AGAIN FROM THE EAST PROPERTY LINE AND ANY OUTDOOR LIGHTING, THAT IS, INSTALLED AND DEVELOP ON THE PROPERTY WOULD NEED TO MEET DARK SKY, FRIENDLY REQUIREMENTS.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HELD A PUBLIC HEARING ON MARCH 11TH AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF BOTH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT AND REZONING REQUEST.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, AND I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT IS HERE AND HAS A PRESENTATION FOR YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? ALL RIGHT.

IS THERE THE APPLICANT HAS A PRESENTATION.

I THINK IT'S THE SAME ONE.

IS I SHOWING THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS RIGHT.

BACK IN JANUARY.

SO IT'S.

YEAH, I THINK SO.

SO THE REASON FOR THE TEASING ME WHERE YOU COME UP WAS I WAS LIKE, WHAT? I THINK THIS IS A NEW PRESENTATION.

DIFFERENT THAN WE'VE SEEN BEFORE.

DID YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT PRESENTATION THAN DAWN IN JANUARY OR IS IT PRETTY SIMILAR TO THE LAST? IT'S PRETTY SIMILAR.

EVENING, EVERYONE. ANY.

SO WE SUBMITTED AND WE DON'T HAVE A SEPARATE PRESENTATION OF THIS.

AND THAT IS ON ONE THAT WE HAVE SUBMITTED THAT WE DO NOT HAVE, A SEPARATE PRESENTATION.

OKAY. YES.

THEN IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

OH, I THINK THE ONLY ISSUE WOULD HAVE BEEN, I REMEMBER PNC.

WAS THERE ANY FEEDBACK YOU RECEIVED FROM, WOULDN'T DIDN'T SOMEBODY HAVE AN OPPOSITION AGAINST IT? MAYBE.

OMEGA STAFF QUESTION.

I THOUGHT I SAW SOMETHING ABOUT SOMEBODY DIDN'T HAD A COUPLE QUESTIONS.

ONE OF THE, THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES.

TO MY KNOWLEDGE, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY, PUBLIC.

BUT LET ME DOUBLE CHECK HERE VERY QUICKLY.

IAN Z WAS ALL IN FAVOR.

NONE OF THOSE TO MEANS THE PNC.

YEAH. SO, YEAH. YEAH.

YOU KNOW, I WATCHED A FEW THINGS, LIKE, I THOUGHT. YES.

SO. YEAH.

SO THERE, WE HAVE RECEIVED SOME COMMENTS, BUT THERE WAS, THERE WAS A REGISTERED COMMENT AT PNC IN OPPOSITION TO THE REQUEST.

AND HIS FEEDBACK SEEMED THE MAYOR WHAT THEY WERE DOING AS FAR AS 50FT SETBACK TO 200.

OH, THEY ONLY USE YOU I THINK HE RAISED WAS THE HEIGHT OF THE WALL OR SOMETHING, IF I REMEMBER RIGHT.

IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER AGAIN. BUT.

AND AND THEY'RE NOT HERE SO.

AND WE'RE REALLY NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT MUCH.

I MEAN, THE WAY THIS PARK WAS CONSTRUCTED, I MEAN THAT RESIDENTIAL IS, IS ON THE SMALLEST, YOU KNOW, LEADING RIGHT THROUGH OF IT.

SO AND YOU KNOW, 50FT SETBACK TO ME SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY FAIR ACCOMMODATION FOR.

YEAH. FOR, FOR THAT.

AND THAT'S, THAT'S, PART OF THE, THE TO TRY WELL AND TO DEVELOP THIS PROPERTY, THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO BUILD THAT AT THAT ADDITIONAL SIDE OF SCOTTSDALE ROAD. YES.

THAT IS SIDE LANES.

AND I WAS KIND OF SURPRISED THAT YOU HAD CUT THROUGH THE FENCE THERE AND ATTACHED TO THE ROAD, BUT THERE WERE NO IMPROVEMENTS YET.

[01:05:03]

SO, AND, AND THE FACT THAT YOU'RE ELIMINATING ANY ACCESS THROUGH THE ATJ, YOU'RE GOING TO PUT UP A WALL OR A FENCE ALONG THE BACK.

SO TOWARDS EAST, WHOEVER IS ON THIS PROPERTY ATTENDANT OR WHOEVER'S USING THE PROPERTY AND THEN GOING BACK EAST INTO THE TJ, IT'S ONLY IN AND OUT ACCESS ON SCOTTSDALE.

AND THEN EVERYTHING ELSE IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS WHAT YOU HAD ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED. SO, IT'S VERY, VERY CONSISTENT USE.

AND BASED ON OUR FEEDBACK.

RIGHT THERE, WE HAVE TO.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

YOU KNOW, IF WE HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT, THEN I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEMS G1 AND G2 JUST.

ANYONE HERE WISH TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON ITEMS? SHE WANTED YOU TO COME.

I'M NOT TRYING TO SPEAK HERE.

SEEING NONE.

I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I'M C1, C2 AS PROBABLY EXPLAIN YOU.

AND THIS WILL BE, UP FOR CONSIDERATION AT OUR NEXT MEETING.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. VERY WELL. THANK YOU.

LADIES.

[G.3 (2026-1-Z) First Reading And Public Hearing Of An Ordinance To Rezone Approximately 100.8 Acres From Development Reserve (DR), General Business (GB), Planned Development-General Business (PD-GB), And Planned Development-Mixed Use (PD-MU) To Planned Development General Business (PD-GB) And Planned Development-Mixed Use (PD-MU) Generally Located East Of West Parmer Lane And South Of East Whitestone Boulevard. The Planning And Zoning Commission Voted 6-0 To Recommend Approval Of The Request. ]

THE FIRST READING PUBLIC HEARING OF AN ORDINANCE TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY 100.8 ACRES TO PLAN DEVELOPED.

PLEASE CALL ITEM G3.

GENERAL.

EXCUSE ME, PLAN DEVELOPMENT, GENERAL BUSINESS AND PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

MIXED USE FOR ACREAGE.

GENERALLY LOCATED EAST OF WEST PALMER LANE IN SOUTH AND EAST WHITESTONE.

GOOD EVENING.

MAYOR COUNCIL AGAIN.

ANDRINA NAVARRO WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

SO THIS ITEM I STATED IS A REQUEST TO REZONE 100 ACRES THAT'S GENERALLY LOCATED, SOUTH AND, WEST OF EAST WEST.

I'M SORRY, SOUTH AND EAST OF EAST WEST ON BOULEVARD AND GRUNDY BOULEVARD, HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY, VACANT.

AND IT IS SURROUNDED BY SOME VACANT LAND TO THE NORTH.

TO THE EAST YOU HAVE SOME SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, INCLUDING ONE PROPERTY THAT'S STILL REMAINING IN THE CITY LIMITS, AND THEN THE REST IS LOCATED WITHIN ROUND ROCK TO THE SOUTH.

YOU HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL UNDEVELOPED VACANT LAND, AND THEN TO THE WEST YOU HAVE IT, URGENT CARE, MEDICAL USE, AS WELL AS A RELIGIOUS, PLACE FOR RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY.

THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED DEVELOPMENT RESERVED GENERAL BUSINESS PLAN DEVELOPMENT, GENERAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, MIXED USE.

AND IT IS WITHIN PLANNING AREA G FOR FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

AND THE REQUEST THAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO REZONE THE ENTIRE PROPERTY TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT, GENERAL BUSINESS AND PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

MIXED USE AND ESPECIALLY AMENDING THE EXISTING INDIGO RIDGE SOUTH PLAN DEVELOPMENT THAT EXISTS TODAY ON THE PROPERTY.

AND SO HERE ON AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, YOU SEE THE CURRENT ZONING DISTRICT OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

AND THEN ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, YOU SEE THE REQUEST ZONING DISTRICT FOR THAT PROPERTY, WHICH AGAIN, PRIMARILY INCLUDES AMENDING THAT THE INDIGO RIDGE SOUTH PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AS IT EXISTS TODAY, AS WELL AS INCLUDING SOME ADDITIONAL LAND, ALONG WESTERN BOULEVARD, WHICH I'LL GO INTO ADDITIONAL DETAIL ON THE NEXT SLIDE.

SO, THERE IS SOME DEVELOPMENT WE SERVE AND GENERAL BUSINESS, PROPERTY ALONG EAST WESTERN BOULEVARD THAT IS BEING PROPOSED TO BE INCORPORATED INTO THIS PLAN DEVELOPMENT, ALONG WITH THE ALL COUNTY ROAD 178, WHICH WAS ABANDONED NOT TOO LONG AGO.

AND SO THAT WOULD ESSENTIALLY CREATE THIS NEW AREA, A THAT'S GOING TO HAVE THAT BASE OF GENERAL BUSINESS, AND INCREASE IT TO APPROXIMATELY JUST A LITTLE BIT OVER 78, 78 ACRES, THIS PROPERTY TO OUR GENERAL BUSINESS STANDARDS, AS IS CURRENTLY ALLOWED UNDER THE CURRENT PD TODAY.

THE MAJORITY OF THE AMENDMENT FOR THIS, PLATE PD ACTUALLY INCLUDES THE AREA THAT CURRENTLY HAS A BASE OF MIXED USE DISTRICT.

AND SO THE THIS AMENDMENT WOULD ACTUALLY REDUCE THAT AREA.

THAT'S IN THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT FROM 20 ACRES TO 14 ACRES, AS YOU CAN SEE, HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU.

IN ADDITION, THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT WOULD ACTUALLY REDUCE THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS AS ALLOWED UNDER THE CURRENT PD FROM 1500 UNITS TO A TOTAL OF 650.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, THIS AMENDMENT ACTUALLY REMOVE THE OPTION WHERE ADDITIONAL UNITS COULD BE REQUESTED THROUGH THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT PROCESS.

AND SO THAT HAS BEEN OMITTED NOW FROM THIS PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

IF IN THE FUTURE THE DEVELOPER, A PROPERTY OWNER, WISHES TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL UNITS, BEYOND THE 650, SHOULD THIS AMENDMENT BE APPROVED, THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS AGAIN ABOUT REZONING OR AMENDING THE PD.

THE FUTURE.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, WITHIN THE MIXED USE AREA, ONLY, FOR NONRESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS, THEY'RE PROPOSING FOR THE MINIMUM HEIGHT OF THOSE BUILDINGS TO BE 25FT.

[01:10:04]

OUR CURRENT CODE WILL REQUIRE THOSE BUILDINGS TO BE EITHER TWO STORIES IN HEIGHT OR 30FT MINIMUM.

THIS PD PROPOSES A 25FT MINIMUM, NONRESIDENTIAL BUILDING HEIGHT.

AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, THIS PD WOULD ALSO ALLOW UP TO TWO ROWS OF ANGLED PARKING SPACES BETWEEN ANY NONRESIDENTIAL BUILDING AND THE STREET.

AS BY RIGHT BY THE PD.

OUR CURRENT CODE ALLOWS ENOUGH THAT AS AN OPTION THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS BY THE DIRECTOR.

SO IT'S AN ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS.

THEY'RE PROPOSING JUST TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO THE PD SO THAT IT BE ALLOWED, BY RIGHT.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE PD PROPOSES TO AMEND THE LAND USE SPLIT RATIO TO BE A MAXIMUM OF 70% RESIDENTIAL IN A MINIMUM 30% NONRESIDENTIAL.

CURRENTLY, OUR CODE REQUIRES A MAXIMUM OR ALLOWS, I SHOULD SAY, A MAXIMUM OF 60% RESIDENTIAL AND REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF 40% NONRESIDENTIAL.

SO THE PD WOULD CHANGE THE RATIO SLIGHTLY ON THAT.

BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT, THIS PD WOULD ACTUALLY ALLOW ANY NOT ANY SOME NONRESIDENTIAL USES THAT ARE DEVELOPED WITHIN AREA A, WHICH IS THAT AREA THAT HAS THAT BASE OF GB.

AND IT WOULD ESSENTIALLY BE ONLY EMPLOYMENT ORIENTED USES THAT ARE DEVELOPED WITHIN THAT AREA TO BE ABLE TO COUNT TOWARDS THAT 7030 SPLIT.

SO IF LIGHT MANUFACTURING, MEDICAL OFFICE, GENERAL OFFICE, OFFICE, URBAN WAREHOUSE OR ANY RESEARCH USES ARE DEVELOPED WITHIN AREA A, ONLY, THOSE USES CAN COUNT TOWARDS THAT 7030 RATIO.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE PD INCLUDES A COMMITMENT THAT PRIOR TO THE CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY OF A RESIDENTIAL UNIT WITHIN AREA B, A 150,000FT² OF THOSE EMPLOYMENT USES WITHIN AREA A PLUS 50,000 OF ANY NONRESIDENTIAL USE WITHIN AREA B BE DEVELOPED PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF THAT CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY.

SO YOU WILL BE GETTING THAT DEVELOPMENT ALONG WITH THE FIRST PHASE OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT.

AND THEN THE LAST AMENDMENT THAT'S BEING PROPOSED, WHICH WOULD ACTUALLY APPLY TO THE ENTIRE PD BOUNDARY, IS YOUR MENTION OF THAT PLACE OF PUBLIC ASSEMBLY USE FROM THE PD.

SO THE CURRENT PD HAS THAT AS A PERMITTED USE, THAT USE WOULD NO LONGER BE ALLOWED WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PD.

SHOULD THIS PD AMENDMENT BE APPROVED.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HELD A PUBLIC HEARING ON MARCH 11TH, AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST.

WE HAVE RECEIVED SOME PHONE CALLS FROM RESIDENTS TO THE EAST OF THIS, UP TO YOUR PROPERTY.

SOME ARE, WHICH ARE PUTTING IN THE ROUND ROCK TJ MAINLY JUST MORE ABOUT QUESTIONS OF TRAFFIC, CIRCULATION AND THE IMPACT THAT THAT MAY HAVE ON THEIR PROPERTY.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE AND HAS A PRESENTATION FOR YOU.

SO FIRST, SO CAN YOU JUST GO BACK TO THE PICTURE THAT SHOWED THE, TRAFFIC FLOW ON THE MAIN AND THE PRIMARY ROADS.

SO THERE ARE NO ROADS LEADING INTO ANY PARTS OF THE ROUND ROCK.

KATIJA NONE THAT'S BEEN PROPOSED, SO FAR.

I JUST WANT TO POINT THAT OUT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

OKAY, OKAY.

I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.

THEN I WOULD SAY I'M GOING TO GET THERE.

EVERYTHING.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS STEPHEN SWAN WITH THE APPLICANT.

WE HAVE A VERY BRIEF PRESENTATION, BUT STAFF COVERED IT WELL, SO I'M HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, BUT THERE'S NOTHING NEW THAT WE WE PRESENT PRESENTED.

THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY.

SO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

WELL, THAT WAS QUICK.

STEPHEN, I DO HAVE SO LIKE GOING THROUGH THIS ON, ON, I GUESS BE, KIND OF WALK ME THROUGH.

I THINK I KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS, BUT, LIKE, THE MINIMUM HEIGHT CHANGE, RIGHT? I MEAN, BECAUSE I THINK THE OPTIONALITY THAT'S BUILT IN TO 30FT VERSUS 25 KIND OF LENDS ITSELF TO THE OPTION OF HAVING TWO STORIES, WHICH I UNDERSTAND THE UNIT COST OF THAT.

AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU BRING THAT DOWN TO 25, IT KIND OF MAKES ME THINK OF LIKE FLEX SPACE AND YOU GOT TO KIND OF WALK ME THROUGH YOUR, YOU KNOW, YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS ON ON THAT.

CERTAINLY.

BECAUSE SO, YOU KNOW, I WAS GOING TO SAY, IF I LOOK THROUGH ALL OF THIS AND EVERYTHING LOOKS FINE, AND THAT'S JUST THE ONE THING THAT JUST RAISES A LITTLE BIT OF A KIND OF A FLAG FOR, FOR ME, NOT NOT THAT IT'S A HUGE IMPEDIMENT, BUT I JUST WANT A LITTLE BIT MORE DIALOG ON THAT. CERTAINLY.

SO THE BIGGEST GOAL FOR THIS, THE 25FT AND ELIMINATING THE TWO STORY OR 30FT REQUIREMENT WAS MORE FOR IF WE DO HAVE STANDALONE COMMERCIAL RETAIL RESTAURANT BUILDINGS THAT ARE WITHIN THAT AREA BE AS IDENTIFIED ON HERE IN THE KIND OF LIGHT BROWN THAT THAT CAN ACCOMMODATE A SINGLE STORY, YOU KNOW, RESTAURANT GROUP, RETAIL GROUP.

WE FOUND THAT GENERALLY THOSE ARE A BETTER FIT FOR MANY OF THOSE

[01:15:04]

TYPES OF USES THAN TRYING TO PUT THOSE WITHIN A TWO STORY, STRUCTURE.

SO THE WAY THAT THE CODE READ TODAY FOR THIS AREA OF THE, THE MIXED USE ZONE, EVEN IF WE JUST HAD A STANDALONE NONRESIDENTIAL BUILDING, THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE A TWO STORY BUILDING.

SO WE COULD NOT DELIVER FOR, A MORE IDEAL FIT BUILDING FOR A RESTAURANT USE OF RESTAURANTS THAT WAY.

OKAY. AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, THAT'S JUST ON BE, RIGHT? RIGHT. OKAY.

YEAH. NO.

AND I, YOU KNOW, FROM A YOUTH STANDPOINT, I DON'T THINK OF, YOU KNOW, NECESSARILY LIKE A FLEX, YOU KNOW, WAREHOUSE TYPE BUILDING.

COULD WOULD YOU BE PERMITTED ON B AS CURRENTLY, USING SEGMENTS FROM THAT.

BUT LIKE THIS CASE.

WELL I THOUGHT DID CROSS MY MIND.

SO THAT'S WHY I FIGURED, YEAH, IT'S GOING TO BE A QUESTION I WAS GOING TO ASK.

BUT YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I APPRECIATE THE PHASING, RIGHT.

AND THE COMMERCIAL AND I THINK IT'S, YOU KNOW, A KIND OF A THAT ACQUIESCENCE POINT BETWEEN, I THINK WHAT THE CITY IS TRYING TO ASPIRE TO AND WHAT, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, FULFILL KIND OF AN ECONOMIC, YOU KNOW, INTEREST FOR REALITY OF THE OWNER.

SO, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, IT'S, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME VARIANCES, BUT, BUT AGAIN, I THINK THERE WAS OBVIOUSLY ALL KIND OF HEARD HEARD SOME OF THE FEEDBACK THE LAST TIME AND KIND OF WENT TO THE TABLE AND, AND, DID SOME WORK ON IT.

SO, BUT, BUT THE PHASING TO ME IS, IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO GET THE COMMERCIAL FIRST. YEAH. YEAH. WELL STEVEN, I LIKE THIS.

THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION TO START WITH.

THE ONE ON THE LEFT IS KIND OF HOW PLANNING AREA WHAT JWOWW STARTED OUT.

AND I SEE THE MAP.

SO I THINK THE HISTORY OF WHERE WE STARTED TO WHERE WE ARE NOW, I THINK IT HAS SOME VALUE OF KIND OF GOING THROUGH A LOT OF AT LEAST FOR ME, AS I LOOKED AT THIS WAS WHEN I SAW THIS, I LOOK AT WHERE WE WERE AND TO WHERE WE HAVE SAID WE'RE NEVER GOING.

A PLANNING AREA THAT'S NOW BEEN DIVVIED UP, ALMOST DONE IN QUARTERS.

AND THE THE TWO ISSUES THAT I HAVE IS THE, IMU REQUIREMENT OF 6040 NOT BEING MET.

THE 7030 AND THE 73RD HAS GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AVENUE SECTION.

I UNDERSTAND KIND OF WHAT, HOW AND WHY WE'VE HAD OTHER CASES WHERE WE'VE HAD IMU AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S NOT A HARD, 60, 40 DEAL.

I MEAN, WE CAN CONSIDER DIFFERENCES DEPENDING ON WHAT THE OVERALL PROJECT IS, BUT, THE LEFT PICTURE REFLECTS WHAT THE ORIGINAL LOOK OF THE AREA WAS BEFORE THESE ROWS GOT IDENTIFIED.

I WAS KIND OF SURPRISED.

EXCUSE ME, ON, COMMERCE PARKWAY, BECAUSE I DIDN'T REALLY REMEMBER THAT PIECE SOME YEARS BACK BEING A ROAD.

SO NOW WE GOT THERE, WE GOT TO THE GROUND AND WE GOT TWO ROAD.

AND SO I UNDERSTAND WHY THE QUADRANT SPLIT THAT YOU GUYS ARE NOW FORCED TO DEAL WITH, BECAUSE IT MAY HAVE BEEN TALKED ABOUT BEFORE, BUT UNTIL IT WAS IDENTIFIED AND MARKED AND LABELED NOW, IT KIND OF CHANGED SOME THINGS.

I THINK ALSO THE MOO PART WITHIN THAT AREA, YOU KNOW, YOU DIDN'T HAVE MUCH CONTROL OVER BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY SET THAT WAY.

AND SO I GET THAT.

I KNOW IT WAS 20 ORIGINALLY SCALED BACK A LITTLE BIT AFTER THE ROADS GOT BUILT, THE AWESOME THINGS.

BUT YOU KNOW, BESIDES THE THE DIFFERENCE OF THE 6040 SPLIT NOW 7030, ALL PART OF SOMETHING ELSE.

THE THING THAT, THAT, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IS THAT IF WE COMMIT TO A 150,000 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM BUILDING THAT'S GOING TO BE BUILT IN THE IN THE LARGER AREA, HOW THAT POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE, SOME SHORTFALLS FOR, FOR THE CITY ON ANY OPPORTUNITIES.

IT'S, IT'S, YOU KNOW, IF THE IDEA WAS TO HAVE A CORPORATE OFFICE, BIGGER AREA, HAVING THE, LARGER ACREAGE AVAILABLE FOR THOSE TYPE OF PROJECTS, I THINK THIS MOVE POTENTIALLY COULD, COULD LESS THAN THAT.

AND THAT'S THE CONCERN THAT I HAVE WITH THE NEW MOVEMENT OF GOING WITH THE COMMITTED TO 150,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING.

IT'S ALMOST GOING TO BE AS A SPEC.

AND BUT IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO COME IN AND HAVE SOME, SOME, DEFINITE IDEAS ABOUT WHAT THEY WANTED THERE, THERE'S SOME RESTRICTIONS WITH THAT COUPLED WITH THE, ROADS AND NOW IT'S QUADRANT BASED.

AND SO, SO THEN I AFTER I WENT THROUGH ALL THAT AND I WENT TO THE PNC MEETING, I LISTENED TO ALL THAT.

BUT I, YOU KNOW, I WAS ON PNC YEARS BACK WHEN WE DID PPAS WHILE WE SET THEM UP.

AND SO WE, YOU KNOW, WANT TO HOLD THE LINE ON THEM.

AND SO THEN I ENDED UP COMING BACK WITH, WHY NO.

AND YOU KNOW, WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO WHY DOES THIS CHANGE HAVE TO GO.

AND DOES IT HOW DOES IT IMPACT YOU? DO YOU HAVE ANY CURRENT PLANS RIGHT NOW FOR ANYTHING BEING BUILT IN ANY OF THAT AREA? AND THEN THE PR SURE, I'LL TRY TO ANSWER KIND OF A SERIES OF QUESTIONS.

IF I MISSED ONE, PLEASE, PLEASE ASK AGAIN.

YES. GIVE ME A LITTLE MORE HISTORY.

WHEN WE DEFINE THE ORIGINAL P.

THE PD AREA, THE ROADS WERE, YOU KNOW, LOOSELY CONTEMPLATED.

RIGHT. YOU KNOW,

[01:20:01]

THE BIGGEST CHANGE THAT'S HAPPENED NOW IS A COMBINATION OF TWO THINGS.

ONE IS, THE ROADS ARE SET.

YOU KNOW, THE CITY HAS WORKED HARD OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND REALLY WELL BEYOND THAT.

TO THAT WAS IMPORTANT FOR DEVELOPERS AND WAS IMPORTANT IDENTIFY THAT AND GET THAT ON THE GROUND, GET THAT MOVING TO HELP OUT.

ABSOLUTELY.

SO THAT RIGHT AWAY BEING DEFINED AND WORKING WITH STAFF TO AND THE ENGINEER THE CITY ENGAGED TO CRAFT THAT ROAD LOCATION, IT REALLY DEFINES WHERE THESE ZONES WERE THAT WERE, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY CONTEMPLATED TO BE AROUND THE ROAD.

YOU KNOW, THE ORIGINAL MU LOCATION MIMICS THAT, BUT IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

THE SECOND IS WE WE ACQUIRED A HANDFUL OF ADDITIONAL PIECES OF PROPERTY RIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION TO OUR GROUND IN WHITESTONE.

SO WE'VE NOW FOLDED THAT IN.

SO THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, MAYBE NOT AS CLEAR BAY ORIGINALLY, MAYBE, HOPEFULLY TO SOME FOLKS.

SO ADDING THOSE TWO PIECES INTO THIS ROLLS IT ALL TOGETHER AND BRINGS IT UP TO SPEED OF GOING TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY WITH ALL THE INFORMATION WE NOW, TO CLARIFY AND 150,000FT², YOU KNOW, THE WAY THAT THE, THE CODE READS, WE JUST HAVE TO DELIVER THAT MUCH TOTAL EMPLOYMENT BASE SQUARE FOOTAGE IN THAT ZONE A IN THAT FIRST PHASE.

SO IT'S NOT A SINGULAR 150,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING UNLESS THAT WAS IN NEED OF A USER OR THE DESIRE TO BUILD IT COULD BE IN MULTIPLE BUILDINGS, OR IN A SINGLE BUILDING WOULD JUST BE THAT TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE AS A, YOU KNOW, INITIAL PHASE HAS.

BUT DOES IT STILL ALLOW FOR A LARGER BUILDING IF SOMEBODY WANTED IT BACK TO THE CONCEPT ORIGINALLY, YES.

CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS, THAT'S A MINIMUM WE HAVE TO HIT IN ORDER TO EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT, THAT PHASE OF RESIDENTIAL.

BUT DOING THIS NOW PUTS THAT ON THE GROUND BEFORE ANYTHING IS KNOWN.

SO WE'RE NOT WE DON'T HAVE ANY SITE PLANS SUBMITTED TO THE CITY.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE WORKING WITH ED STAFF ALL THE TIME AND HAVE BEEN FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS TRYING TO FIND A USER OR USERS TO LAND ON THIS SITE, AMONG MANY OTHERS IN CEDAR PARK.

THEY'RE LOOKING FOR, SITES FOR, WE'RE CONTINUE TO DO THAT AND IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES.

YOU KNOW, WE SEE IN THE MARKET AS WELL, YOU KNOW, WITH ONE OF THOSE, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD WANT TO MOVE FORWARD.

WE'RE DEFINITELY TRYING TO PAIR THIS UP, YOU KNOW, WITH WITH THAT EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND THE CITY'S PURSUING. SO.

IT'S AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, BASED ON WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE ROAD PIECE, THE MOVE WOULD HAVE ENDED UP WITH THAT ANYWAY.

SO AND THAT'S WHY EVEN THOUGH IT'S A LITTLE BIT SMALLER ACREAGE AND ALL THAT, WHAT YOU GOT TO DO WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT TWO STORY, ONE STORY GOES ON SOME RETAIL AND AND THE APARTMENT, PLEASE.

BUT I'M JUST THE ROADS THAT ARE NOW MAPPED ON HERE CHANGES THE OPPORTUNITIES I THINK.

AND CLUSTERS OR WHATEVER WE'RE GOING TO DO.

AND I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF DOING THIS NOW IMPACTS YOUR ABILITY TO STILL MARKET IN LONG TERM.

I MEAN, I'M NOT SURE WHAT WAS DRIVING, YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE WANTED TO GET SOMEWHERE, BUT DO WE YOU KNOW, DO WE HAVE TO MOVE ON THIS NOW AND AND DOES THAT HINDER ANYTHING VERSUS IF WE JUST DECIDED TO NOT, MOVE FORWARD WITH WHAT'S PRESENTED TO 7030 SPLIT IN A ONLY AND B IS GOING TO BE WORKED OUT.

I KNOW WE GOT LOTS OF PARTNERS FOR THAT.

IT CAN WORK ITSELF OUT LATER AS YOU GET MORE, DEFINITIONS ON THINGS, YOU KNOW.

BUT THE BIGGEST THING WAS A QUARTER THE QUARTERS THAT ARE FORMED WITH THE ROADS.

AND I HEARD 150 SQUARE, AND I WAS JUST WORRIED THAT IF WE LIMIT ANY OPPORTUNITY DOWN THE ROAD, THAT DOING THIS NOW MAY HAVE AN IMPACT TO THAT.

AND IF WE AND IF WE DECIDE TO NOT MOVE FORWARD WITH IT, WHAT IMPACT THAT WOULD HAVE ON A NEW ALL A BUSY, FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

YOU GUYS DON'T, YOU KNOW, APPRECIATE ALL THE EFFORT YOU GUYS ARE PUTTING IN AND ALL THIS.

AND WE TALKED ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE.

BUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN I SEE THE 6040, NO, 730, BUT ONLY IN THIS SECTION, THE ROADS KIND OF FORCING YOUR HAND ON SOME THINGS AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE TRYING TO GET SOMETHING DONE.

BUT AND I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY NOW, IS IT OKAY, DOES IT HINDER YOUR ABILITY TO STILL DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO WITH WHAT YOU HAVE AND AND MAYBE NOT LIMIT OUR OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOME OF THE BIGGER PIECES AS WELL? BECAUSE ORIGINALLY THIS WAS A LOT BIGGER.

IT WAS GREAT RIGHT AT THE BOTTOM, THE SOUTHERN HALF.

RIGHT. AND THAT GOT WITHDRAWN, YOU KNOW.

SO WE LOOKED AT THIS INITIALLY IT WAS THIS HUGE AREA FOR POTENTIAL CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS PLANNING AREA.

AND THE DEFINITION OF THAT WAS TO NOW THIS JUST ONE.

AND THEN OH BY THE WAY, THE ROADS GOT PUT IN WHICH WE NEEDED TO DO FORMS SOME QUADRANTS.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS FORCING YOUR HAND TO GET THIS PRESENTATION DONE TODAY VERSUS, YOU KNOW, I WAIT BECAUSE I THINK AS WE LOOK AT AND DEBATE OVER WHAT'S LEFT IN THE CITY, IT'S IMPORTANT.

I'M NOT IN A RUSH TO GET THINGS DONE, ESPECIALLY WITHOUT SOME VERY KNOWN THINGS.

AND I WOULD HATE TO MOVE FORWARD ON SOMETHING THAT POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE SOME IMPACT.

OR MAYBE NOT AT ALL.

BUT IT'S, YOU KNOW, I, I JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE RUSH WAS TO GET THIS THING DONE.

THAT.

AND IF, IF, IF THERE WAS ANY HINDRANCE TO YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING OTHER THAN TAKING CARE OF.

WELL, MISS GALLOWAY, I HEARD HER COMMENTS AT THE AS A SHE LOVED THE IDEA.

SHE'S SATISFIED WITH THE BUFFER, SO SHE'S EXCITED WE KEEP THAT PIECE IN WHATEVER HAPPENS, BUT I JUST DON'T WANT TO LIMIT OUR OPPORTUNITIES BECAUSE OF THE ROAD AND

[01:25:03]

THINGS AND EVERYTHING.

SO OF COURSE I SAID A LOT THERE.

HOPEFULLY YOU GOT SOMETHING OUT OF THEM.

SO I'D SAY THE THE REASON FOR NOW IS PRIMARILY CLEANING UP ALL THOSE PIECES WE MENTIONED BEFORE OF, YOU KNOW, THE OPD AND THE ROADS AND THE CURRENT, YOU KNOW, ASSEMBLY OF OF PARCELS THERE DON'T, DON'T REFLECT, YOU KNOW, THE REALITY.

THIS HELPS CLEAN A LOT OF THAT UP.

THERE'S NO HINDRANCE FROM OUR STANDPOINT.

THE CHANGES WE'RE PROPOSING TODAY DOESN'T ANY, ANY OPPORTUNITY WE COULD SAY YES TO YESTERDAY, WE CAN STILL SAY YES TO TOMORROW.

SO THERE'S NO CHANGE IN THAT.

FROM OUR STANDPOINT, I THINK IT'S ALLOWS US TO HAVE A A GO FORWARD PATH ON DIFFERENT PHASES OF THIS IN A WAY THAT, YOU KNOW, SUITS WELL FOR THE SITE AND THE ROADS THAT YOU KNOW ALL THESE WRONG.

OF COURSE, THE CITY MASTER PLAN, AS YOU ALL KNOW, CONTINUE TO GO UP ON COMMERCE IN THE FUTURE.

SO I'D SAY THE TIME IS NOW FOR CLEAN UP AND FOR, YOU KNOW, HAVING AN OPPORTUNITY TO TO PROPOSE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE HOPEFULLY FOR THE CITY AND HOPEFULLY FOR THE SITE TO ACTIVATE IT.

YEAH, I DON'T MIND THE CLEAN UP, BUT AGAIN, I THINK WHEN YOU LOCK IN THAT 150,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING TIED TO THE MINIMUM AND THE SIZE.

SO I DON'T WANT TO PUT WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH.

BUT I THINK WHAT THIS DOES NOW AND WHY NOW TO TO KIND OF ADDRESS YOUR POINT, KEVIN, IS I THINK IT PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK FOR THEM TO BEGIN HAVING THOSE DISCUSSIONS WITH USERS.

RIGHT? BECAUSE, I MEAN, BECAUSE THERE IS SOME INCONSISTENCIES HERE.

AND AGAIN, GOING TO YOUR EARLIER POINT ABOUT LIKE WHEN WE WERE ON PNC AND WE ESTABLISHED THIS PLANNING AREA, I MEAN, THE IDEA WAS, YES, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE LIKE A MASTER DEVELOPMENT FOR THE WHOLE YOU KNOW, FOR THE WHOLE TRACK.

AND I GET THAT.

BUT IT'S IT'S AMBITIOUS WHEN YOU DON'T CONTROL THAT TRACK.

AND SO YOU'RE BALANCING A LOT OF DIFFERENT ECONOMIC INTERESTS HERE.

AND SO WHILE IN A PERFECT WORLD, I LOVE TO HAVE LIKE THIS PERFECT THING THAT FITS THE ENTIRE TRACK.

I MEAN, I THINK THIS IS REALLY WORKABLE.

AND LIKE I SAID, YOU KNOW, WE HIT SOME, YOU KNOW, LIKE RAMS UP ON THE CLIFF SIDE A LITTLE BIT BEFORE.

AND SO LIKE, YOU KNOW, BOTH SIDES KIND OF BACKED OFF AND YOU GUYS CAME BACK WITH SOMETHING.

AND EVEN THOUGH THIS DOESN'T ENCOMPASS THE WHOLE THING I THINK IT'S EXTREMELY WORKABLE.

AND AND AGAIN, I SEE THE BENEFIT LOOKING AT IT THROUGH THE LENS, LOOKING AT TRYING TO LOOK AT IT THROUGH YOUR LENS.

IF THIS CLEANS SOME THINGS UP, TO USE YOUR VERNACULAR TO CLEAN THINGS UP AND ALLOWS YOU TO START HAVING THOSE USER CONVERSATIONS.

BUT I THINK THERE'S TWO LENSES WE HAVE TO LOOK AT AT THE SAME TIME 100, NOT ONLY FOR THE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE, BUT ALSO THE, YOU KNOW, THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF THE PLANNING AREA.

AND THAT'S WHAT WAS DESIGNED FOR. THAT'S RIGHT.

AND DOES THIS START TO, YOU KNOW, MOVE AWAY FROM THE EPA DEFINITION OF WHAT WE ENVISION? AND AGAIN, I LIKE WHAT YOU'VE COME UP WITH.

I GET TO CLEAN UP BECAUSE I THINK WE CAN STILL KIND OF GET THERE.

BUT AGAIN, WHEN I SEE THAT 150,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING ON THE GROUND, I HEAR YOU THAT YOU CAN STILL HAVE OPPORTUNITY, BUT IT'S STILL A BUILDING THAT MAY NOT HAVE THAT IF IT ENDS UP BEING, BROUGHT, YOU KNOW, BUILT BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT AN MOU SIGNED ON TO HAVE THE SEALS MATCH UP.

IT'S ON THE GROUND AND IT'S A SPEC BUILDING AND VERSUS, BUILDING AND SOMEBODY THAT HAVE MORE INPUT ON AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HAS AN IMPACT ON OUR LONG TERM.

THAT AND SO THAT'S WHY I WENT WITH, YOU KNOW, WHY NOW IF WE DELAYED IT, DOES IT IMPACT YOUR ABILITY TO STILL KIND OF DO WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO? YOU STILL GOT TO KIND OF FRAME IT THIS WAY BECAUSE THE ROADS ARE FORCING THE ISSUE.

BUT DOES IT STILL MEET? OUR WHOLE IDEA OF WHAT A PA WAS. YEAH.

IF I MAY JUST RESPOND A LITTLE BIT TO THE EDI PURSUITS, AND I THINK WE'VE BEEN PART OF THE CITY FOR A LONG TIME ON SEVERAL THINGS.

THIS SITE PURSUITS AND OTHER SITES THAT WE'VE HAD, USERS, CAN'T COME TO THE CITY, BUT IN OUR EYES, IT'S IT'S A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY.

THIS SITE, THE ONE TO THE SOUTH, IT'S STILL ZONED PROFESSIONAL OFFICE.

SO IT'S ALL COMMERCIAL, TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY, YOU KNOW, IF WE WERE TO GO BUILD SOMETHING RESPECTFULLY, THAT'S NOT THE CURRENT PLAN THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN OFFER A BUILDING ON THE GROUND AND BUILD THE TWO SIDES TO DIFFERENT GROUPS.

I THINK IN OUR IN THE NEW HOPE CORPORATE PROJECT, AS AN EXAMPLE, THAT WE DELIVERED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHERS HERE IN TOWN.

YOU KNOW, WE LANDED GROUPS LIKE A NOVUS, FIREFLY AND OTHERS, SOME OF WHICH WERE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PURSUITS BECAUSE THOSE BUILDINGS WERE ON THE GROUND, WE HAD TO RESPOND TO THE SPEED OF THE USERS, WHICH DON'T ALWAYS ALIGN TO A FULL BUILD TO SUIT.

YOU KNOW, AGAIN, AT THIS POINT, WE DON'T HAVE SITE PLANS SUBMITTED.

WE'RE WORKING WITH ED STAFF ON ON MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES.

NONE OF THOSE ARE GUARANTEES EVER.

BUT, WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO SO AND EVALUATE, YOU KNOW, THE WORLD IS IN THE MARKET.

THE TENANTS THAT ARE OUT THERE TO SEE WHAT MAKES SENSE FOR CEDAR PARK AND THE SITE, AGAIN, AS AN EXAMPLE OF 150,000FT, WE DON'T NECESSARILY ENVISION THAT AS ONE SINGLE BUILDING MEETING WITH CITY STAFF.

THIS WEEK ON SOME OPPORTUNITIES, WE WERE LOOKING AT A CAMPUS OF MULTIPLE BUILDINGS.

IT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY WE WERE DISCUSSING, SO IT'D BEEN SEVERAL BUILDINGS THAT COULD FIT DIFFERENT USER NEEDS THAT MAY BE, YOU KNOW, TOTAL EXCEEDED THAT 150 WITHIN PART OF THAT GENERAL JB ZONE.

[01:30:01]

SO SEE WHAT COULD THAT BE THAT CAN BE DONE NOW ANYWAY. RIGHT.

I MEAN BECAUSE YES IT'S IN JB.

SO THEN I'M BACK TO THE WHY NOW AND THE CHANGES BECAUSE YOU STILL GOT THE NEW PIECE THAT WILL HAVE TO BE SITTING SOMEHOW AND IT WORKS OUT.

YOU KNOW, I JUST YOU KNOW I JUST AGAIN WITH THE LITTLE LANE AS WELL, I'M A LITTLE FARTHER THAN OTHER POINTS AND I AGREE WITH YOU.

AND AND AGAIN WE'VE BEEN HERE, WE'VE SAT ACROSS FROM EACH OTHER.

WE'VE HAD LOTS OF CONVERSATIONS.

I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING THE WHOLE WE'RE GOING TO GO I MEAN, THE 7030 VERSUS 6040, I MEAN, THAT'S NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL, BUT IT'S THERE BECAUSE WE WERE PLANNING 65, 660 UNITS.

BUT THE POSSIBILITY DIDN'T HAVE AN ESCALATOR LIKE THAT'S CONCERNING TO ME TOO, BECAUSE THEN WHATEVER THE END USER IS AND THEN THE DEMAND CHANGES, LIKE THEN AGAIN, YOU'RE THE INTENT OF THE PLANNING AREA JUST GETS WASHED AWAY.

BUT THAT'S, THAT'S TAKEN OFF STAGE.

TO CLARIFY THAT WAS IN THAT CORRECT? NO I KNOW, NO I KNOW, BUT THEN AGAIN LIKE IT'S I FEEL LIKE IT'S THIS LIKE GIVE AND TAKE SITUATION YET AGAIN WHERE IT'S LIKE, OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO DECREASE THE NUMBER OF UNITS.

BUT THIS 150 SQUARE, 150,000FT² COULD BE A CAMPUS, COULD BE MULTIPLE BUILDINGS.

IT'S KIND OF CARVED UP AS A PRIME PIECE.

I'M I'M MUCH KEVIN ON THAT OF LIKE WHAT'S THE URGENCY I GET THE CLEANING UP PART.

BUT I FEEL I THINK AGAIN, IT'S A GIVE AND GIVE AND TAKE LIKE, OKAY, THIS IS WHAT WE HEARD YOU SAY.

OH, WE DIDN'T BRING IT TO COUNCIL BECAUSE YOU SAID THERE'S THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS, THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

AND, I'D RATHER GET TO A COMFORT OF EVERYONE MOSTLY FEELING GOOD ABOUT IT VERSUS, OH, WE'LL JUST WAIT FOR NEW PEOPLE.

AND THIS IS WHAT THE DECISION WILL BE.

BECAUSE I'M HEARING A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS SET OUT THERE.

AND IF WE DON'T DECIDE THIS IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, MY MAIN CONCERN IS ABOUT RIGHT NOW.

AND AGAIN, IT'S JUST THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE UNKNOWNS AND SOME THINGS.

BUT AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO HINDER YOU GUYS AT ALL EITHER, BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE A GREAT PARTNER WITH US.

AND SO AGAIN, THAT'S WHY I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF THIS HAD TO HAPPEN.

NOW, HOW DOES THAT CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING? WHATEVER.

BUT THE ROADS DID FORCE YOUR HAND ON SOMETHING WHICH IS NOT A BAD THING, RIGHT? BUT, BUT I WAS SURPRISED ABOUT A LOT OF THE COMMERCE WOULD HAVE GONE AWAY.

OKAY. ECONOMY.

NOW WE GOT TWO ROADS.

TWO ROADS ON 14, 14, 31.

RIGHT. YEAH.

AND I BELIEVE AGAIN, COMMERCE IS, AS PLANNED CITY ROAD ON THE MASTER PLAN.

SO WE, WE'RE, WE'RE SHOWING THAT TO MATCH UP WITH, EVERYTHING THAT'S SHOWN, WITHIN THE CITY, CITY PLANNING AS WELL.

SO I DON'T SEE ALL THOSE, BUT I JUST DON'T REMEMBER THAT ONE BEING SO DISCOUNTED TO NOW.

I GUESS IT'S COMING IN SHAPE BECAUSE IT CAN GO ACROSS.

WE CAN DO ANY ONE ALWAYS UP ON THE OTHER SIDE.

I GET THE WHOLE GLAMOR THING, BUT I JUST GO BACK TO THE PLANNING AREA.

INITIAL INTENT IS THIS STILL MATCHING UP WITH ALL THAT AND CAN WE STILL GET THERE? YOU KNOW, SO I'M JUST TRYING TO FIND WHATEVER ON BOTH SIDES ANYWAY.

AND TO, YOU KNOW, TO YOUR POINT, KEVIN, ABOUT THE 150,000 SQUARE FOOT OR WHAT ARE YOU PRECLUDING BY BUILDING THAT IF YOU IF YOU KIND OF RUSH THAT INTO CREATION IN ORDER TO, TO FULFILL THE PHASING REQUIREMENTS, HAVE YOU, HAVE YOU PRECLUDED TO SOMETHING ELSE? SO I, I WAS JUST LOOKING UP LIKE HOW MUCH ACREAGE IS 150,000FT²? THAT SOUNDS LIKE A PRETTY BIG BUILDING TO ME.

THERE'S ONLY ABOUT THREE AND A HALF ACRES, SO YOU COULD BUILD TEN OF THOSE, AND YOU STILL HAVE HALF OF THE JB LAND.

WELL, BUT IF IT'S QUADRANT, THE WAY IT'S SHAPE, YOU'RE ONLY TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THIS.

SO HAVE THE 87 ACRES ON THIS DIAGRAM ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.

WHAT IS ALL THAT.

IT'S PROBABLY ONLY 60. SO NO.

AND I HEAR YOU BUT AGAIN.

BUT IT WOULD BE A BUILDING ON THE GROUND THAT WAS DONE BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO MEET AN OBJECTIVE THAT IS EITHER ARBITRARY OR, OR, YOU KNOW, IS THAT A REASON FOR IT? AND SO THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE IS COMING IN.

I MEAN, IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE DEFINITE ON EITHER, YOU KNOW, IMU SIDE OR WHATEVER, ARE WE JUST DOING IT TO SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO GET THE 7030 AGREEMENT ON THE, ON THE SECONDARY VERSUS B AND ALL THAT STUFF? AND HOW MUCH HOW MUCH COULD THAT PLAY INTO LATER? YOU KNOW, AGAIN.

BECAUSE AGAIN, WE'RE LIMITED LAND.

I DON'T WANT TO MESS ANYTHING UP.

LIKE YOGI BEAR SAYS, PREDICTION IS HARD, ESPECIALLY ABOUT THE FUTURE.

THROUGH.

AND THAT'S MY $0.02.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? NO, I'M JUST HAPPY.

A LOT HAPPIER WITH THIS ONE THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE.

I THINK WE'VE MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS ON THIS.

YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT STAFF IS MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THIS THAN THE PRIOR ONE AND THAT BNZ APPROVED IT.

YOU KNOW.

150,000, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF SPACE, BUT WITH THE SIZE OF THE LAND AND WITH THEIR, YOU KNOW, EXPERIENCE WORKING ON THE OTHER PROJECT OFF OF SCOTTSDALE, IF IF THE RIGHT, YOU KNOW, COMPANY COMES IN, I MEAN, IT COULD BE 250, 300 AND 400,000FT² OF BUILDING,

[01:35:06]

WHICH THAT LAND, WHICH IS WHAT THAT LAND WAS INTENDED FOR.

SO, YOU KNOW, I'M COMFORTABLE WITH STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION.

YEAH, I WOULD CONCUR.

I MEAN, I, I WENT BACK AT SOME OF THE ZONING HISTORY ON THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY.

IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S BEEN PROPER 30 YEARS.

WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND A GOOD CEILING FOR IT.

SO, YEAH, I MEAN, I WOULD CONCUR.

I THINK THE STAFF ALWAYS GIVE US GREAT GUIDANCE AND HAVE, YOU KNOW, LED US IN THE DIRECTION WHERE I KNOW WHEN IT CAME BEFORE US IN 2024, WE WEREN'T ABLE TO COME TO ANY KIND OF A CONCLUSION.

SO I THINK I THINK THIS WOULD BE A GOOD PROPOSAL.

WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL? MAKE SURE WE OPEN, PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM AS WELL.

SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. X. ALL RIGHT, I LIKE TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM G THREE.

WE DO HAVE TWO PEOPLE, WHO WISH TO SPEAK.

FIRST, CATHERINE GALLOWAY RESIDES IN THE CITY.

WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.

I HOPE I WAS RIGHT TO CHANGE YOUR COMMENTS.

NO, THAT'S NOT FINE.

NO, BUT I THOUGHT I'D COME TALK TO YOU ALL TONIGHT.

WE APPRECIATE THAT. SHE HAS TO SEE YOU AS OFTEN.

GOOD. OKAY. OKAY.

MY NAME IS CATHERINE GALLOWAY.

I LIVE AT 4030 EAST WHITESTONE BOULEVARD.

THAT'S THAT LITTLE PIECE THAT'S OUT OF THE CORNER.

THAT'S OUT. OH, THAT.

THIS PROPERTY HOLDS A VERY SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART.

MY GRANDPARENTS BOUGHT IT 114 YEARS AGO, AND SO I'VE BEEN VISITING IT ALL MY LIFE.

SO, I, THEY WERE STEWARDS OF THIS PROPERTY.

AND WE HOPE THAT Y'ALL ARE STEWARDS OF THIS PROPERTY, TOO.

AND THE DEVELOPERS ARE STEWARDS OF THIS PROPERTY.

MY MAIN REQUEST AS A DEVELOPER IS MAKE SURE THAT THE PROPERTY IS USED WISELY AND TO TO ITS BEST USE, AS IT IS DEVELOPED ALSO TO ITS BEST FINANCIAL USE FOR THE CITY OF CEDAR PARK.

THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW PIECES OF PROPERTY IN CEDAR PARK THAT IS THIS LARGE THAT CAN THAT IS LEFT TO BE DEVELOPED.

I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT, BUT MAYBE THE REST TO BUILD.

ULTIMATELY.

ONE OF THE REASONS I WANT IT TO BE DEVELOPED IS, WELL, IT'S ALSO THE GATEWAY TO THE EAST, TO THE CITY FROM THE EAST.

AND SO WHAT GOES ON ON THAT WHITE STONE IS GOING TO REFLECT THE CITY.

IT NEEDS TO BE VISUALLY APPEALING.

AND FROM A PERSONAL STANDPOINT, WHEN MY FAMILY EVENTUALLY DECIDES TO SELL HAVING ATTRACTIVE NEIGHBORS, THE PROPERTY WOULD BE VERY, FINANCIALLY, APPEALING TO US.

BECAUSE THIS AREA IS ALREADY SOME GENERAL BUSINESS AND THE DEVELOPERS HAVE INCLUDED FENCING, BUFFERING AND, AND HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS, WHICH WE REQUESTED.

IT'S THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY THEY CAME WITH THE PAD.

I HAVE NO REASON TO NOT, APPROVE THIS REQUEST.

I THINK THAT'S GOING WELL.

THEN HERE WE GO. YEAH, I REALLY APPRECIATE THOSE COMMENTS, TOO.

I MEAN, THE HISTORY THAT THAT FAMILY HAS WITH THAT PROPERTY.

SO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR, MARVIN KELLY RESIDES IN THE CITY, ALSO WISHES TO SPEAK AT THE TIME.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR COUNCIL MEMBER.

MY NAME IS MARVIN KELLY.

ACTUALLY LIVE RIGHT THERE WHERE YOU'RE YOU'RE PROPOSING CHANGES? AS A MATTER OF FACT, YOU WERE THERE FROM THE CLOSE, CELEBRATION, OUR BAR AND BEING A PART OF AN AIRBNB AS WELL.

I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THE ZONING CHANGE, BUT WHAT I'D LIKE YOU TO CONSIDER FOR ANYBODY THAT'S GOING TO BUILD IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA, IF THEY WOULD HAVE ANOTHER EXIT GOING OUT TO THE FIRE AND POLICE FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES COMING IN.

AND THE REASON I'M ASKING THIS IS, WE'VE MOVED HERE TO WE'RE GOING ON THREE YEARS AGO, 1431.

THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO GET INTO RALLY ROAD.

WE ALREADY HAD AN ACCIDENT THERE, SO WE CAN'T EVEN REAR ENDED MY FAVORITE CAR.

AND AND DESTROYED IT.

AND, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH FIRE MARSHAL, SHELBY FROM THE AROUND RUN, AND WE MADE SURE WE MET EVERY REQUIREMENT AS IT RELATES TO SAFETY.

WE HAVE A BIG WATER TANK THERE.

[01:40:01]

IS TOTALLY FIREPROOF.

JUST ABOUT, BUT AS WE GO FORWARD, OUR STAFF DID A GREAT JOB.

I WAS HERE AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING.

I'VE WATCHED ONLINE.

I'M VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED.

MY BACKGROUND IS I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN A I WAS A RISK MANAGER OF CITY OF BEAUMONT.

SO THAT SHOWS YOU, I KNOW RISK.

ALSO, I WAS A RISK MANAGER FOR THE CITY OF AUSTIN, SAFETY PROGRAMS IN BEAUMONT AND AUSTIN.

I DEVELOPED, YOU KNOW, AND THEN I LEFT THAT TO, PRIVATIZING A STATE AGENCY BACK IN 1992 CALLED THE LIQUIDATION DEPARTMENT AND RAN THAT FOR 30 YEARS.

IT HAD 400 PEOPLE. I RAN WITH 42.

I SERVED UNDER SEVEN INSURANCE COMMISSIONERS, WHICH IS NOT A GOOD THING.

SO I WENT FROM REPORTING TO COUNCIL MEMBERS AND MAYORS TO SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES.

BUT NOW WE HAVE THIS VENUE.

WHAT I DO NOW IS AND, COUNCIL MEMBER, I THINK I'M THE PERSON THAT.

I, I KNOW YOU'RE SO GOOD.

I'VE NEVER MY WIFE DIDN'T LET ME IN THE VENUE.

I PARKED CARS AND I DO LANDSCAPING.

SO I WENT FROM EXECUTIVE TO WHATEVER SHE SAYS.

SO I WOULD APPRECIATE AS WE GO FORWARD THAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER FROM A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE, GIVING YOU ANOTHER OUTLET IN THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION.

OUR BARN IS RIGHT THERE.

I'M 25FT FROM WHERE THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT DOING THEIR DEVELOPMENT.

I'M WATCHING THAT ROAD BEING BUILT EVERY DAY, SO I KNOW IT WOULD BE AN EASY FIX FOR SOMEONE TO DEVELOP SOMETHING GETTING OUT THAT WAY, BECAUSE THAT AREA IS GROWING AND IT WOULD JUST BE BETTER FOR POLICE AND FIRE COMING INTO THAT AREA.

MATTER OF FACT, WE COMP THE VENUE AND THE CEDAR PARK POLICE HAVE YOUR, CEREMONY THERE AS WELL, AND THEY'RE COMING BACK FROM BACK.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO BE GOOD COMMUNITY, NEIGHBORS.

BUT WE ALSO HAVE DEVELOPED THAT AREA THAT'S GOING TO BE HELPFUL, TO US.

I NEVER MET THIS GIRL.

I CALLED HER ON THE PHONE. I'M SURE. REMEMBER IT NOT.

YEAH. I SAID, DO YOU OWN THEIR PROPERTY STILL? NO. WE SOLD IT TO SOMEONE ELSE.

START CALLING THEM AFTERWARDS.

AND ONE OF THE STAFF MEMBERS.

AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT HIS NAME WAS.

I'LL BE VERY RESPONSIVE TO YOUR CALL.

YEAH, I REMEMBER YOU CALLED LAST YEAR. YEAH. SURE DID.

WE JUST GOT THERE.

YOU KNOW, I WORK FOR THE WIFE NOW, SO I NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S BEING DEVELOPED.

THAT'S WHAT I WOULD JUST APPRECIATE IF YOU START CONSIDERING, PERMITS FOR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT LAND THAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER ANOTHER OR HAVE THEM CONSIDER ANOTHER WAY OUT.

I THINK I WAS GOING I THINK WHEN I ASSUME THAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN, AS WE GO INTO THE SITE PLAN PHASE IS WHEN YOU'D CONSIDER THAT ACCESS OR NOT OR SO.

AND I'VE NEVER SEEN ANY COUNCIL MEETINGS THIS TIME.

I'M NOT. AUSTIN WAS NOT LIKE, OH, DOES JESUS NOT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND AUSTIN, I SEE PARK THANK YOU. OKAY.

DOES ANYONE ELSE WISH TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON ITEM G THREE? I HATE SEEING THEM.

I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM THREE.

ANY FINAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE COUNCIL MEMBERS? NO, I JUST I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR FOR BOTH OF YOU COMING AND SPEAKING TONIGHT.

I THINK THESE ARE GREAT REMINDERS OF HOW THESE DEVELOPMENTS HAVE GREAT HISTORY BEHIND THEM AND AND IMPACT VERY REAL PEOPLE HERE.

AND, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T GET A LOT OF SPEAKERS FOR FOR A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE WORK ON.

BUT, BUT WHEN YOU SPEAK, IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE.

AND SO I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE.

[G.4 (2026-2-OA) First Reading And Public Hearing Of An Ordinance Amending The Cedar Park Code Of Ordinances Chapter 11, Zoning, Regarding Major Corridor Standards. The Planning And Zoning Commission Voted 6-0 To Recommend Approval Of The Proposed Amendments. ]

PLEASE CALL ITEM G FOR, EXCUSE ME, A FIRST READING, A PUBLIC HEARING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CEDAR PARK CODE OF ORDINANCES REGARDING MAJOR CORRIDOR STANDARDS LOCATED IN CHAPTER 11.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

AMY, WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT THE FIRST OF FOUR ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS.

SO I WILL JUMP RIGHT TO IT.

JUST AS A REMINDER OF WHAT OUR MAJOR CORRIDOR STANDARDS ARE, THEY PREDOMINANTLY APPLY TO ARTERIAL ROADWAYS, LARGE ROADWAYS WITHIN THE CITY.

AND THE CORRIDOR EXTENDS 500FT ON EITHER SIDE OF THOSE ROADWAYS.

SPECIFICALLY, WE'RE LOOKING TO ENHANCE THE ESTHETICS OR THE APPEARANCE ALONG THOSE ROADWAYS, AS WELL AS PROHIBIT SOME USES THAT MAY NOT MEET THAT ESTHETIC LONG WHAT WE WANT TO SEE ON OUR MAJOR CORRIDORS.

AND THEN IT ALSO PROVIDES FOR ADDITIONAL SCREENING REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO DEVELOPMENTS, WITHIN THOSE AREAS.

AND PREDOMINANTLY, THE REASON WHY WE ARE BRINGING THIS FORWARD IS BECAUSE OF THE ROADWAY YOU WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT WITH THE LAST ITEM, WHICH IS, COMMERCE PARKWAY.

SO COMMERCE PARKWAY IS BEING CONSTRUCTED, THAT WILL PROVIDE A CONNECTION FROM PALMER TO WHITESTONE AND ULTIMATELY ALL THE WAY TO NEW HOPE DRIVE.

AND SO CURRENTLY, THAT ROADWAY IS NOT IDENTIFIED AS A MAJOR CORRIDOR.

[01:45:01]

AND WITH THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT, WE ARE PROPOSING TO ADD THAT ROADWAY.

THE ONLY OTHER CHANGES THAT WE'RE PROPOSING WITH THIS AMENDMENT ARE REALLY CLEANUP ITEMS TO NAME ROADWAYS WITH HOW THEY'RE KNOWN TODAY.

CLEANUPS.

WE HAD SOME SECTIONS OF ROADWAYS WHERE IT MAYBE WAS SEPARATED BY A NORTH-SOUTH CORRIDOR.

SO NOW WE'RE JUST SAYING THE ENTIRE ROADWAY NEEDS TO BE A MAJOR CORRIDOR.

WE DON'T HAVE TO SPLIT IT INTO TWO SECTIONS.

SO IT'S JUST SOME CLEANUP ITEMS RELATED TO, THE EXISTING ROADWAYS THAT ARE ALREADY IDENTIFIED AS MAJOR CORRIDORS.

WITH THAT, OUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HEARD THESE AMENDMENTS AT THEIR MARCH MEETING AND DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL, BY A 6 TO 0 VOTE.

WE DID NOT HAVE ANY COMMENTARY FROM THE PUBLIC, AND I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

QUESTIONS.

SO I KNOW THAT ROAD WAS THERE BEFORE.

OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM G4.

IS ANYONE HERE WISH TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON ITEM G FOUR? SEEING NONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM G FOR.

THANK YOU, AMY, FOR THAT, PLACE ITEM DEFINES

[G.5 (2026-3-OA) First Reading And Public Hearing Of An Ordinance Amending The Cedar Park Code Of Ordinances Chapter 14, Site Development, Regarding Residential Fence Regulations. The Planning And Zoning Commission Voted 6-0 To Recommend Approval Of The Proposed Amendments.]

A FIRST READING AND PUBLIC HEARING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CEDAR PARK CODE OF ORDINANCES, CHAPTER 14 REGARDING RESIDENTIAL IT'S REGULATIONS.

GOOD EVENING AGAIN.

YOU MAY RECALL AT THE, JANUARY WORKSHOP WITH THE COUNCIL, WE PROPOSED SOME AMENDMENTS TO OUR FENCE REGULATIONS RELATED TO SOME, ISSUES THAT HAVE ARISEN BECAUSE OF FENCES THAT ARE CURRENTLY EXISTING WITHIN SOME AREAS OF OUR COMMUNITY.

AND WE FOUND THAT THERE MAY BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE SOME, DEVIATION FROM OUR CURRENT REGULATIONS.

AND SO WE BROUGHT THAT FORWARD TO THE COUNCIL IN, JANUARY AND DID RECEIVE POSITIVE FEEDBACK.

SO TONIGHT WE'RE HERE TO PRESENT THOSE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO YOU, OUR CURRENT, RESIDENTIAL FENCE REGULATIONS ALLOW FOR, FENCES ON BOTH THESE SIDES, REAR AND FRONT OF THE PROPERTY IF THE FENCE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY.

SO BETWEEN THE HOME AND THE ROADWAY, IT IS CURRENTLY LIMITED TO THREE FEET IN HEIGHT ON THE SIDES AND REAR OF THE PROPERTY.

YOU'RE ALLOWED UP TO AN EIGHT FOOT TALL FENCE.

THERE IS AN ALLOWANCE FOR LOTS THAT ARE LARGER THAN 20,000FT², WHICH IS MOSTLY IN OUR OLDER NEIGHBORHOODS.

THOSE LARGE KIND OF HOMESTEAD LOTS NOT IN OUR STANDARD, SUBDIVISIONS WITH HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATIONS THAT HAVE SMALLER LOTS.

THESE ARE THESE LARGER LOTS, OLDER AREAS OF TOWN WHERE WE DID SEE, A DESIRE TO HAVE A FENCE IN THE FRONT SETBACK THAT WAS TALLER THAN THE THREE FEET.

SO, BACK IN 2017, WE UPDATED THE ORDINANCE TO ALLOW UP TO SIX FEET IN HEIGHT WITHIN THAT FRONT SETBACK AREA, BUT REQUIRING THAT THAT FENCE BE WROUGHT IRON OR A SIMILAR MATERIAL THAT WAS, VISIBLE TO SEE THROUGH THAT FENCE, JUST TO PROVIDE SAFETY, MAKE SURE SIGHT LINES WERE, MAINTAINED.

TODAY WE HAVE SOME FENCES, WITHIN THE COMMUNITY ON THESE LARGER LOTS THAT HAVE PROVIDED THE WROUGHT IRON ALONG THE FRONT.

BUT THEN THEY'VE PROVIDED A, AN OPAQUE MATERIAL ALONG THE SIDE FENCES WITHIN THAT FRONT SETBACK.

AND SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING THIS EVENING IS TO ALLOW FOR AN EXCEPTION TO THE MATERIAL ALONG THE SIDE FENCE PORTION WITHIN THE FRONT SETBACK TO BE SOMETHING OTHER THAN WROUGHT IRON, I.E.

WOOD, MASONRY OR SIMILAR MATERIAL.

WE WOULD, PROPOSE THAT THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES COMMITTEE, WHICH IS OUR COMMITTEE THAT IS MADE UP OF DEPARTMENT STAFF FROM ALL DEPARTMENTS THAT REVIEW DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS TO CONSIDER AN ALTERNATIVE, TO THE SIDE FENCE WITHIN THE FRONT SETBACK, AS LONG AS IT MEETS WOOD, MASONRY OR SIMILAR MATERIAL, AND IT DOES NOT INHIBIT SIGHTLINES, WHETHER IT'S ALONG THE, INTERSECTION OR LIKE IF A PROPERTY'S AT AN AN INTERSECTION OF TWO ROADWAYS OR THE DRIVEWAY FOR THAT RESIDENTIAL LOT.

AND JUST TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A FENCE THAT'S CURRENTLY LOCATED IN THE COMMUNITY WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE FRONT FENCE IS WROUGHT IRON, BUT THAT SIDE FENCE THAT COMES ALL THE WAY TO THE FRONT, OR THE RIGHT OF WAY, AND IT IS WOOD.

HOWEVER, THIS IS A OVER TWO ACRE PROPERTY.

AND WE FEEL LIKE THIS COULD BE AN EXCEPTION TO WHAT OUR EXISTING REGULATIONS ARE TODAY.

SO THAT IS THE REASON FOR BRINGING THESE AMENDMENTS FORWARD.

[01:50:03]

AGAIN, OUR PLANNING COMMISSION HEARD THESE AMENDMENTS AT THEIR MARCH MEETING AND DID RECOMMEND UNANIMOUS APPROVAL OF THEM AS WELL.

BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. YES.

SO ON THE LAST QUESTION, SO ON THE, MAKES OUR SENSE.

YOU CAN HAVE STONE COLUMNS OR YOU CAN HAVE LIKE THOSE ARCHED STONE BOTTOMS WITH THE WROUGHT IRON ON TOP.

WE DON'T. YES.

WE DON'T AS LONG AS WE DON'T HAVE A WROUGHT IRON.

CORRECT, CORRECT.

AND THAT ONE HOUSE THAT YOU SHOWED US, THAT WASN'T A CORNER HOUSE.

SO IT DIDN'T HAVE TWO FRONTS.

IT HAD, RIGHT.

IT WAS A CENTER LOT AS OPPOSED TO.

SO A CORNER LOT WOULD HAVE THAT WROUGHT IRON ON BOTH STREET FACING SIDES.

CORRECT.

LIKELY TO MAINTAIN THOSE SIGHTLINES. YEAH.

BECAUSE SO YOU CAN'T SEE AROUND.

SO YOU'D ACTUALLY PROBABLY HAVE TO BRING THE FENCE OUT COMPLETELY FROM THAT SITE LINE AT THE INTERSECTION.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT DO YOU MEAN? SO YOU WOULD PROBABLY EITHER IT WOULD HAVE IT IT COULD BE WROUGHT IRON, BUT POTENTIALLY EVEN THAT COULD RESTRICT SIGHT LINE.

SO THERE MAY BE A SLIGHT LINE EASEMENT AT THAT INTERSECTION THAT DOESN'T ALLOW ANY ENCROACHMENT INTO THAT SIGHTLINE EASEMENT.

SO YOU MAY HAVE TO PULL THIS FENCE COMPLETELY OUT FROM THE BASICALLY PULL IT BACK AND PUT 45 IN.

SO YOU HAVE RIGHT VISIBILITY AROUND THE INTERSECTION.

CORRECT? CORRECT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL RIGHT NOW I WILL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ITEM G FIVE.

YOU THAT.

DOES ANYONE HEAR US.

JUST THE COUNCIL ON ITEM G FIVE.

SEEING NONE I'LL CLOSE THERE.

LINING UP. YEP.

THAT'S THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM FIVE.

[G.6 (2026-4-OA) First Reading And Public Hearing Of An Ordinance Amending The Cedar Park Code Of Ordinances, Chapter 14, Site Development, Regarding Planted Street Medians (Traffic Islands) Residential and Non-Residential. The Planning And Zoning Commission Voted 6-0 To Recommend Approval Of The Proposed Amendments. ]

PLEASE CALL ITEM G SIX.

THE FIRST READING PUBLIC HEARING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CEDAR PARK CODE OF ORDINANCES, CHAPTER 14, IN RELATION TO PLANTED STREET MEDIANS KNOWN AS TRAFFIC ISLANDS.

YES. THE THIRD AMENDMENT THIS EVENING IS RELATED TO MEDIANS PREDOMINANTLY ALONG OUR MAJOR THOROUGHFARES THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, AND I DO WANT TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ABOUT, WHY THIS, PROPOSAL IS BEING BROUGHT FORWARD, AS WELL AS THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR MEDIAN DESIGN AND MAINTENANCE STANDARDS.

AND THEN WHAT THESE, CODE AMENDMENTS LOOK LIKE.

SO YOU MAY RECALL THAT, IN OUR LAST, IN THE FY 25 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET, OUR TYPE B, CORPORATION PROVIDED FUNDING TO DEVELOP THESE, MEDIAN DESIGN STANDARDS.

SPECIFICALLY IN SUPPORT OF COUNCIL STRATEGIC GOALS FOR LIVE LIVABILITY AND SENSE OF PLACE TO IMPROVE ESTHETICS ALONG OUR CORRIDORS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

AND SO THROUGH THE END OF LAST YEAR, THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE OUR LANDSCAPE PLANNER, AMY HAYCOCK, FOR DOING A GREAT JOB OF PROJECT MANAGING THIS PROJECT.

BUT SHE WORKED WITH AND STAFF WORKED WITH, NOT ONLY PUBLIC WORKS STAFF, PARK STAFF, ENGINEERING STAFF AS WELL AS A, PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANT, WESTWOOD PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TO DESIGN THESE GUIDELINES.

AND SO TO, JUST BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT THE PROPOSED SCOTT OR THE DESIGN GUIDELINES, IT SETS THE STANDARD FOR WHAT MEDIAN PLANTINGS WILL LOOK LIKE MOVING FORWARD.

IT PROVIDES PLANTING, REQUIREMENTS, HARDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS AND GENERAL MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS VARYING BASED ON THE SIZE OF THE MEDIAN.

SO WE UNDERSTAND THAT NOT ALL MEDIANS ARE THE SAME WIDTH.

SO DEPENDING ON HOW NARROW OR HOW WIDE IT WILL ALLOW FOR, WATER WISE PLANTS AND HARDSCAPE, IT WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR IN WIDER MEDIANS THE ABILITY FOR MAINTENANCE VEHICLES TO COME OFF OF THE ROADWAY AND PARK INTERIOR TO THE MEDIAN TO TO PROVIDE A SAFE, HARBOR SPACE FOR THOSE MAINTENANCE WORKERS TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE MEDIAN AND MAINTAIN IT.

SO THE AMENDMENTS THAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU TONIGHT ARE SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO CHAPTER 14 OF OUR, CODE OF ORDINANCES, WHICH IS OUR SITE DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER.

WE HAVE SOME VERY GENERAL GUIDELINES IN THAT, CHAPTER TODAY.

AND WHAT WE'RE WANTING TO DO IS UPDATE THOSE GUIDELINES TO SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFY ANY MEDIAN IMPROVEMENTS MOVING FORWARD TO BE, DESIGNED PER THE MEDIAN LANDSCAPE DESIGN AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES.

WE'VE ALSO MADE A FEW UPDATES RELATED TO,

[01:55:03]

THE RECENTLY ADOPTED CEDAR PARK TRANSPORTATION CRITERIA.

BUT AGAIN, THE AMENDMENTS TONIGHT ARE REALLY TO REFLECT THAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO IMPROVE THE MEDIAN.

SO IF SOMEONE'S GOING TO DESIGN A MEDIAN AS PART OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT, IF THEY HAVE A NEW ROADWAY, SAY, COMMERCE PARKWAY, CONTINUING NORTH THROUGH NORTH OF WHITESTONE TO NEW HOPE, IF THEY WANTED TO DO MEDIAN IMPROVEMENTS IN THAT ROADWAY, THEY WOULD NEED TO FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES.

AND SO IT'S PROVIDING THAT REFERENCE TO THOSE GUIDELINES.

AGAIN, OUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HEARD THIS ON THE MARCH 11TH MEETING AND DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENTS AS PROPOSED.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

YEAH, I WISH IT WAS A SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT.

I GOT TO CHOOSE. ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH. THE PSA MEETING.

I WAS, PLEASANTLY SURPRISED TO SEE AMY GIVE US SOME INPUT.

SOME PEOPLE HAD SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TOPIC.

I MEAN, YOU WENT ON ABOUT THE TYPE OF TREES FOR VEGETATION.

WHO KNEW THAT WAS THAT EXTENSIVE? WHY DO YOU THINK SHE'S HERE? WELL, I CAN'T ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS WELL BEFORE THE TREE, BUT THE ONE THING I DID COME UP AND I DIDN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT, MAYBE MALCOLM, SOME INPUT ON FROM HIS PRIOR LANDSCAPING STUFF WAS WHEN THEY TALKED ABOUT THE GRAVEL.

AND THE SIZE OF IT, WHICH I DIDN'T THINK MATTER.

BUT THERE WAS AN EXTENSIVE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE GRAVEL.

IS THERE ANY VALIDITY TO THE IDEA OF HAVING THE LARGER SIZE GRAVEL? YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THEY 4 TO 6 INCH ONES VERSUS THE SMALLER ONES BECAUSE OF THE SOMEBODY BLOWING THE AREA WOULD BLOW THE ROCKS A LITTLE BIT.

PUSH YOURSELF.

SO YES, HAVING A LARGER STONE, IT'S A BIGGER MASS.

SO TALKING ABOUT BLOW AROUND IS EASIER BE BLOWN BY THE TRAFFIC OR THE WIND.

THE TRAFFIC CREATES.

BUT WE'RE NOT HAVING SUPER LARGE AREAS OF THE STONE.

WE'RE REALLY FOCUSING ON WATER WISE LANDSCAPING AND SMALL, A SMALL MAINTENANCE PATH AND THE MAINTENANCE THAT AMY TALKED ABOUT, ALSO THAT GRAVEL DISCUSSION THEY WERE HAVING ISN'T IT ISN'T NOT ENOUGH AREAS THAT THAT WOULD IT'S MORE OF AN ACCIDENT.

IT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR FOR IT TO GO INTO THE MEDIANS.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE IN LIEU OF MULCH.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE IN LIEU OF A GROUND COVER OR, YOU KNOW, HALF THE MEDIANS NOT GOING TO BE STONE.

IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WE CAN, LOOK AT AND REEVALUATE WHEN MEDIANS COME IN TO BE DESIGNED.

WE CAN TALK THROUGH MAYBE MORE OF THE NITTY GRITTY, AND WE CAN CERTAINLY UPDATE THE GUIDELINES IF WE FEEL LIKE, HEY, WHAT WE HAVE IN HERE IS NOT IN LINE WITH WHAT WE'RE WANTING.

SO SO YOUR LIST WILL ACTUALLY GO DOWN TO THAT LEVEL WHERE I DON'T HAVE THE RECOMMENDED GRAVEL.

OH YEAH. OH YEAH.

SO YEAH.

ANY ANY PARTICULAR PLAN IF JUST KIND OF JUMPS OUT AT YOU THAT WE NEED TO HAVE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THEY REFERENCED WHITE STONE.

I WAS TALKING TO THE EARLIER.

I JUST WANTED TO ASK YOU MY, MY FAVORITE TWO YEARS.

IT'S NOT WHAT I'M PUTTING IN.

OH. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE TREE? THE JACARANDA.

THE WHAT? THE JACARANDA IS RIGHT.

IT'S A STRAND, RIGHT? IT'S.

IT HAS REALLY PRETTY PURPLE.

IT'S GOT PURPLE FLOWERS NOW.

SURE WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT IF YOU HAD THAT.

BUT YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE ORDINANCE BOOK AND DECIDE WHO IS IT GOING TO BE IN THE BOOK. I'LL EMAIL YOU.

YEAH. GREAT.

BUT YEAH. SO I MEAN, WE WHILE THERE ARE THINGS IN THESE GUIDELINES, THERE IS FLEXIBILITY.

AND IT IT POINTS TO THE, APPROVED EQUIVALENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

IT'S, THINGS THAT WE'VE CALLED OUT ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THE TIME, BUT THE THE POINT IS TO HAVE GENERAL UNIFORMITY THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

SO, I MEAN, THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE PEOPLE THINK SOMETHING IS LIGHT IS IS THIS TOPIC, BUT HOW MUCH YOU HAVE TO GO INTO A STUDY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO COORDINATE THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND MAINTENANCE PEOPLE HAVING AN ISLAND FOR THEM TO PULL UP ALL THOSE IMPORTANT.

SO I'M GLAD WE'RE DOING IT.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YEAH.

KEVIN, IT'S TIME YOU WANT TO GET TOGETHER OVER AT GOOD LOTS.

I'LL EXPLAIN TO YOU THE PROBLEM WITH SMALL GRAVEL, BECAUSE IT GETS STUCK IN THE TIRE TREADS.

AND THEN IF YOU DON'T GET THE ROCKS TO A BIG ENOUGH SIZE THAT CAN GET JAMMED BETWEEN THE DOUBLE AXLE WHEELS.

OKAY. SO. ALL RIGHT.

AND THEN WHEN WE GET ON THE ROADS, THAT BECOMES A BOND FOR THE CAR BEHIND.

MY BIG THING IS, YOU KNOW, FROM MY EXPERIENCE, ESPECIALLY IN TOWN CENTERS, BURROWS, BECAUSE THEY DROP, BASICALLY SMALL GRENADE ACORNS.

SO THAT ON THE FLIP SIDE OF THAT, THOSE ARE ACORNS THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED THEY'RE EDIBLE BY HUMANS.

SO, SO OUR INDIGENOUS SPECIES USED TO LIVE OFF OF THOSE ACORNS.

SO, IT'S AN IMPORTANT HISTORICAL TREE IN THE COMMUNITY.

HEY. WELL, SOME OF THE REQUISITIONS BLEED OVER TO THE LAKE LINE PARK PHASE TO SHAVE IT DOWN.

THEY MAY HAVE TO CALL YOU.

[02:00:02]

I TALKED TO KALE.

I'M NOT SURE.

BUT, I MEAN, WE'VE CHOSEN PLANTS THAT ARE IN LINE WITH, NATIVE AND ADAPTIVE SPECIES FOR THIS REGION.

SO THE PLANT POLITZER WOULD PROBABLY BE PRETTY SIMILAR TO.

IT'S SO NO BRADFORD PEARS.

I MEAN, I DO IS YOU MAKE YOUR.

YEAH. SO, FACE THEY LOOK BEAUTIFUL HERE.

OAK TREES LIVE A LITTLE BIT.

HERE IS YOUR BRADFORD PEARS LIVE ABOUT 15.

THE NEXT, THE NEXT DOOR.

YEAH, I THINK IT'S I THINK WE ALL THINK IT'S TREMENDOUS WORK AND REALLY APPRECIATE THE DEEP THOUGHTFULNESS AND, AND LONG TERM VIEW.

THE LAST PART, THAT THEY'VE PUT INTO THIS, THIS PROJECT.

YEAH. APPRECIATE IT.

I ALWAYS HEAR WHAT THE PEOPLE THING. YEAH.

OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM G SIX.

IS ANYONE HERE WISH TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON ITEM G SIX? WE DO HAVE ONE.

WE DO? YEAH.

BUT WHAT IS, WHAT THEY DO? WELL. YES, MA'AM.

PLEASE COME TO THE BEACH, COME TO THE MICROPHONE AND JUST, JUST MAKE SURE YOU PLEASE GIVE YOUR YOUR NAME AND DETAILS TO THE STAFF IN THE BACK, AND I'LL GET YOU SIGNED UP.

MY NAME IS VALERIE.

SO WILLIAMS, AND I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT OF CEDAR PARK FOR 13 YEARS, 13.5 YEARS.

I LIVE IN, CEDAR PARK TOWNHOMES AND, YOU KNOW, LITTLE ELM IS STILL NEW TO ME.

YOU KNOW, IT WASN'T THERE WHEN I FIRST MOVED IN.

AND MY QUESTION IS, WHO MAINTAINS THE MEDIANS IN THE IN THE CENTER? IS IT CEDAR PARK OR THE SUBDIVISIONS? SO IT CAN IT CAN DIFFER FROM SUBDIVISION TO SUBDIVISION.

BECAUSE I KNOW FOR LIKE ANDERSON MILL, THAT'S, THAT'S OUR HOA FOR A LITTLE BIT THE MAYBE SOMEBODY KNOWS OFF THE TOP OF HER HEAD.

BECAUSE I, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE, YOU KNOW, I WENT TO CORPUS CHRISTI TO WORK FOR HURRICANE HARVEY WHEN I GOT BACK.

WE HAVE TWO NEW BUILDINGS.

YEAH. AND STREET. SO.

AND THE MEDIAN AND SOMETIMES THE MEDIAN IS TAKEN CARE OF, AND SOMETIMES IT'S NOT.

SO I WAS WONDERING WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY THAT IS, BUT WHAT? OUR COMPLAINING.

YEAH. OKAY.

I THINK WE GOT THE ANSWER WORTHWHILE.

YES I AM OKAY.

THERE IS, THERE IS, A SPLIT RESPONSIBILITY.

SO THE CLOSER YOU GET TO BELLE BOULEVARD, LITTLE ELM, WHERE YOU HAVE THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS ON EITHER SIDE, THAT'S THE RESPONSIBILITY, THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND THEN AS YOU GO TOWARD LAKE LINE, IT TURNS INTO CITY OF CEDAR PARK.

RESPONSIBILITY. OKAY.

I DON'T HAVE AN EXACT, AS OF THE OTHER SIDE OF RED OAKS SUBDIVISION, SO THAT THAT WOULD BE THE CITY THAT I THINK THAT IS WITH THAT I BELIEVE THAT IS US.

BUT I WILL DEFINITELY CONFIRM THAT. OKAY.

GET ON YOUR. YEAH. OKAY.

ONCE WE GET PAST I, THEN I WILL, WITH THAT CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM SIX, IT WAS A MEETING IN QUESTION FOR SURE.

IT WAS A GREAT RELEASE.

[G.7 (2026-5-OA) Public Hearing And First Reading Of An Ordinance Amending The Cedar Park Code Of Ordinances, Chapter 4, Business Regulations And Appendix A, Fee Schedule, Regarding Short-Term Rentals. ]

PLEASE GO. ITEM SEVEN.

WELL, THIS IS BACKWARDS, BUT I'M GOING TO READ, FIRST READING AT A PUBLIC HEARING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY PARK CODE OF ORDINANCES, CHAPTER FOUR IN AND APPENDIX A IN RELATION TO SHORT TERM RENTALS.

AWESOME.

SO OUR LAST ORDINANCE AMENDMENT THIS EVENING IS RELATED TO ESTABLISHING A SHORT TERM RENTAL REGISTRATION PROGRAM. SO, JUST FOR A LITTLE BIT OF EDUCATION ON WHAT A SHORT TERM RENTAL IS, IT'S DEFINED AS A RENTAL OF A PART OR ALL OF A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY BY A PERSON WHO IS NOT A PERMANENT RESIDENT.

AND IT IS FOR, RENTAL OF NO MORE THAN 30 CONSECUTIVE DAYS.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE, SOME LIMITED REGULATIONS RELATED TO SHORT TERM RENTAL IN OUR CODE OF ORDINANCES TODAY, SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO COLLECTION OF THE HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX, AND THAT IS LOCATED IN CHAPTER TEN OF OUR, CITY CODE.

WE ALSO HAVE IN OUR CODE OF ORDINANCES, THE CHAPTER EIGHT, WHICH IS OUR OFFENSES AND NUISANCES.

SO YOU MAY RECALL, WE'VE HAD SOME FOLKS ADDRESS THE COUNCIL RELATED TO CONCERNS RELATED TO SHORT TERM RENTALS IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS, SOME RELATED TO NOISE, PARKING WITHIN THE STREETS, NUMBER OF PEOPLE, ETC.

WE DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO ENFORCE THOSE THINGS LIKE NOISE, PARKING, PROPERTY MAINTENANCE THROUGH OUR CODE, OUR OUR OFFENSES AND NUISANCES CHAPTER.

[02:05:03]

BUT PREDOMINANTLY SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO SHORT TERM RENTAL.

IT IS JUST, CURRENTLY REGULATED THROUGH COLLECTION OF THE HOT TAX. SO WE LOOKED AT OUR BENCHMARK CITIES, TO SEE HOW THEY ADDRESS SHORT TERM RENTALS WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES.

WE DID FIND THAT PRETTY MUCH EVERY BENCHMARK, REGULATE SHORT TERM RENTALS IN SOME FORM OR FASHION, A MAJORITY OF THEM THROUGH THEIR BUSINESS OR BUILDING REGULATIONS.

ONLY A FEW REGULATED THEM THROUGH ZONING.

MOST BENCHMARKS ALSO REQUIRED AN ANNUAL PERMIT OR REGISTRATION FOR THESE SHORT TERM RENTALS.

AND ABOUT HALF OF OUR BENCHMARKS, REQUIRE AN AN INSPECTION.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, REGISTRATION.

SO WHY WE'RE BRINGING THIS FORWARD TODAY IS WE HAVE RECEIVED DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL TO LOOK AT, DEVELOPING A REGISTRATION PROGRAM SPECIFICALLY TO IDENTIFY SHORT TERM RENTAL LOCATIONS WITHIN THE CITY AND ALSO TO HELP, WORK ON THE COLLECTION OF THE HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX RELATED TO THESE SHORT TERM RENTALS.

SO THE PROPOSAL THIS EVENING IS TO AMEND CHAPTER FOUR OF OUR CODE OF ORDINANCES, FOR BUSINESS REGULATIONS TO INCLUDE A REGISTRATION PROGRAM OR REQUIREMENT FOR SHORT TERM RENTALS, AND THEN ASSOCIATED WITH THAT REGISTRATION, AN AMENDMENT TO APPENDIX A, WHICH IS OUR FEE SCHEDULE TO REQUIRE A $100 ANNUAL REGISTRATION FEE FOR SHORT TERM RENTALS.

THIS WILL HELP AID IN TRACKING WHERE SHORT TERM RENTALS ARE LOCATED WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND AND HELP IF THERE ARE CODE COMPLIANCE ISSUES MOVING FORWARD.

IT WILL HELP TO UNDERSTAND THOSE AS RELATED TO IF IT'S A SHORT TERM RENTAL OR NOT.

SO, THESE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS, UNLIKE THE OTHER THREE THAT YOU'VE HEARD THIS EVENING, THESE ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE PURVIEW OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. THE.

SO THESE ARE COMING STRAIGHT TO YOU FOR CONSIDERATION.

WHAT WE WOULD PROPOSE, AS PART OF THIS ORDINANCE WOULD BE, AN EFFECTIVE DATE OF OCTOBER 1ST OF THIS YEAR TO ALLOW FOR NOTIFICATION AND EDUCATION TO, SHORT TERM RENTAL OWNERS OF THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS SO THAT THERE'S SOME TIME FOR THEM TO, BE PREPARED FOR THAT REGISTRATION PROGRAM.

SO WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

I JUST THINK THIS IS A GREAT STEP.

I MEAN, IT GIVES US DATA AND GIVES US A MORE COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF ACTUALLY WHAT'S GOING ON.

SO, I KNOW THAT'S A I JUST, YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE AN OPINION ON THE FEE. RIGHT.

BUT I MEAN, BUT IT IS, YOU KNOW, THERE HAVING TO HAVE SOME STAKEHOLDERS ON THIS, YOU KNOW, A HUNDRED BUCKS.

IT'S NOT A, KING'S RANSOM, BUT BUT THE DATA PIECE IS MOST IMPORTANT.

SO, THANK YOU, CHUCK.

SO NOW TO THAT QUESTION.

YEAH. NO, I WAS JUST SIMPLY GOING TO SAY, BUT THE OUTREACH AND THE ADMIN PART OF IT IS A IS A HUGE UNDERTAKING BECAUSE THEN THERE'S THE ENFORCEMENT PIECE OF OUR CODE.

IF THEY DON'T REGISTER, LIKE WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? I MEAN, ARE WE ANTICIPATING, A LOT OF EXTRA WORK OR IS IT JUST SOMETHING ELSE? SOMEBODY JUST ROSE UP UNDER THE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THAT WAS ONE OF MY BIGGEST CONCERNS AT THIS BECAME THIS BIG ANIMAL THAT WE HAD TO HIRE STAFF AND, THESE THINGS THAT IT'S MORE WORK THAN WHAT WE'RE RECOUPING IN HOT BUDGET.

AND SO OUR, TOURISM FOLKS HAVE BEEN WORKING TO DEVELOP THE, SOFTWARE PROGRAM SPECIFIC THE INITIAL, THOUGHT WAS TO AT LEAST START IDENTIFYING WHERE THE SHORT TERM RENTALS ARE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

AND SO THEY HAVE ALREADY IMPLEMENTED THAT, THROUGH A GRANICUS SOFTWARE.

AND THAT SOFTWARE ALSO HAS A REGISTRATION MODULE.

SO WE'RE ALREADY IN COMMUNICATION ABOUT INITIATING THAT REGISTRATION MODULE WITHIN THE SYSTEM THAT WE ALREADY HAVE, IN PLACE FOR IDENTIFYING THE LOCATIONS AND REALLY, IT WILL JUST BE A MATTER OF FOLKS REGISTERING THROUGH THAT SYSTEM.

AND JUST BEING AN IDENTIFICATION.

SO WHILE WE WILL HAVE TO MONITOR IF PEOPLE ARE REGISTERING, THEY NEED TO, PAY THAT ANNUAL FEE.

IT WILL IT WILL BE MORE OF AN EDUCATION FROM OUR CODE COMPLIANCE STAFF, JUST TO MAKE SURE FOLKS ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE OF THIS NEW REGISTRATION PROCESS.

AND CERTAINLY IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO RIGHT OFF THE BAT.

RIGHT. TICKETS TO PEOPLE FOR.

IT'S MORE OF, HEY, WE HAVE THIS NEW REGISTRATION PROGRAM IN PLACE AND GIVE THEM TIME TO TO MAKE THAT RIGHT.

BECAUSE OUR ORIGINAL INTENT I MEAN OBVIOUSLY IT'S A TO

[02:10:03]

TO PASS A BAD THING IN THE SENSE OF FOLKS COMING TO US BECAUSE THEY'RE AT THEIR WITS END BECAUSE THEY'VE GOT THIS HAPPENING.

BUT THEN WE LOOKED AT AS WELL, THAT'S THE HOT MONEY THAT.

BUT AGAIN, LIKE THE SOLUTION LOOKING FOR OUR PROBLEM, YOU KNOW, IT JUST BECOMES JUST TOO MUCH TIME FOR US TO KEEP UP WITH LIKE SO ONE OF THE REASON.

SO ONE OF THE REASONS WE'VE TAKEN THE APPROACH THAT WE HAVE AND AND SO AMY'S RIGHT.

THE FIRST STEP WAS TO ACTUALLY HAVE A PORTAL DEVELOPED AND AND WHAT THE PURPOSE ACTUALLY BEHIND THE PORTAL, NOT ONLY TO HELP IDENTIFY WHICH THE REGISTRATION IS SORT OF THAT NEXT STEP THAT ACTUALLY GETS YOU FURTHER THAN IDENTIFICATION.

BUT IT WAS REALLY SO THAT, OPERATORS, OF, OF SHORT TERM RENTALS HAD ONE PLACE TO GO IN ORDER TO SUBMIT THEIR, THEIR HOT TAX.

AND SO REALLY WHAT IT DOES IS IT CONNECTS INTO OUR FINANCE SYSTEM.

SO IT PROVIDES A PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO DO THAT VERSUS PREVIOUS TO THIS AND PREVIOUS TO THIS STEP, WE REALLY HAVE NOT MADE THAT EASY FOR PEOPLE TO DO.

AND SO IT PROVIDES A PORTAL SO THAT FOLKS CAN REGISTER AND THEN THEY'VE GOT A PLACE TO MAKE THEIR, THEIR HOT TECH, HOT TECH SUBMISSION.

SO WE DON'T ANTICIPATE SIGNIFICANT ADMINISTRATIVE, BURDEN, IF YOU WILL, AT THIS POINT.

BUT REALLY ALL IT IS, IS SORT OF THOSE TWO STEPS.

ONE, MAKING SURE OUR SYSTEM IS, IS UP AND OPERATIONAL.

AND THEN THE SYSTEMS THAT COME WITH THAT, WHICH REALLY AGAIN, HELP IDENTIFY AND GATHER DATA FOR US THAT WE CAN UTILIZE.

AND THEN, TO IT PROVIDES THAT REGISTRATION.

YOU MAY SEE OTHER CITIES THAT HAVE FURTHER REGULATIONS UPON THAT.

THAT IS THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS IS.

IT REALLY IS SORT OF THIS TWO STEP APPROACH OF REGISTRATION.

SO WE KNOW REALLY WHAT'S OPERATING WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.

THE SUBMITTAL, PROCESS FOR THE HOT TAXES.

AND THEN WHAT YOU'RE ABLE TO DO WITH THAT IS REALLY TRACK DATA AND INFORMATION.

SO SO MY QUESTION IS MANY OF THE WAYS ACROSS THE CITY HAVE THESE RESTRICTIONS AGAINST SHORT TERM RENTALS.

I KNOW FOREST OAKS HAS SOME PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL STUFF IN THERE, DEED RESTRICTIONS THAT EVERY RESIDENT WITHIN THE ASSOCIATION HAD TO SIGN THOSE IN ORDER TO GET TITLE FOR THE HOUSE.

SO, HOW DOES THIS AFFECT THOSE? AND IS THERE SOMETHING IN THE CITY'S DOCUMENTS THAT BASICALLY SAY YOU HAVE TO REFER BACK TO YOUR HOA OR YOU KNOW, AND AND THEN THAT MAY BE THAT THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION, BUT YOU MAY RECALL THAT CITIES DON'T HAVE THE, AUTHORITY TO ENFORCE DEED RESTRICTIONS.

SO THAT'S REALLY LIKE NOT ON OUR LIST OF ENFORCEABLE ITEMS. AND IT'S REALLY UP TO THE PROPERTY OWNER TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE IN COMPLIANCE WITH, WITH WHATEVER IS SPECIFIC TO EITHER THEIR HOA OR THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, BECAUSE THAT MAY BE DIFFERENT ACROSS ACROSS.

BUT BUT WHAT I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE DOING HERE IS PEOPLE WILL COME ON HERE AND SEE THIS, AND IF THERE IS NOTHING IN THAT STATE, YOU SHOULD CHECK WITH YOUR HOA.

THEY MIGHT THINK, OH, THE CITY GAVE ME PERMISSION AND I HAVE A LEGAL AND A CIVIL ARGUMENT THAT, YES, THE CITY GAVE THEM APPROVAL.

WHEN THE HOA SAID NO.

YEAH, AND SOME HOA ARE MORE FINANCIALLY STABLE ENOUGH TO FOLLOW UP WITH THAT.

SO IT COULD CREATE SOME.

YEAH I HEAR YEAH, WE HEAR YOUR SUGGESTION AND WE CAN LOOK AT SOME OF OUR WORDING.

I WOULD JUST REMIND YOU ALL OF THAT.

LIKE THE HOA DEED RESTRICTIONS ARE GOING TO SUPERSEDE, WHAT OUR RULES ARE.

SO IF THEY'RE LIKE THE CITY TRUMPS YOU WILL, THE CITY DOESN'T.

AND SO, ANYWAY.

BUT I HEAR YOUR, YOUR SUGGESTION OR RECOMMENDATION, AND WE'RE LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE'S VERBIAGE ASSOCIATED THAT CAN HELP BETTER EDUCATE PEOPLE.

AND WE'VE PROVIDED THAT GUIDANCE ON OTHER REGULATIONS THAT THE CITY HAS THAT WE KNOW LIKELY HOA HAVE STRICTER RULES.

WE ALWAYS ENCOURAGE FOLKS, CHECK WITH YOUR HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION BECAUSE YOU MIGHT HAVE STRICTER RULES THAN WHAT OUR CODE ALLOWS FOR.

I MEAN, THAT SPECIFICALLY GOES TO THE EIGHT FOOT TALL FENCE THAT WE UPDATED, A FEW YEARS AGO.

THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF HOA THAT LIMIT THAT FENCE HEIGHT TO SIX FEET.

SO WE DO WE DO PROVIDE THAT EDUCATION. BUT.

I THINK THIS IS A GREAT FIRST STEP WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, BASED ON FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY ABOUT DOING SOMETHING,

[02:15:01]

THIS IS A GREAT FIRST STEP TO IDENTIFYING WHO IS IT.

OUR CITY'S IS OPERATING AS IF THEY'RE JUST SEEING WHAT WE HAVE TO DO TO YOUR TIRES.

LET'S BE COLLECTING DATA TO FIND OUT WHAT WHAT'S AFTER THIS ONE.

IT ALSO CAN HELP IDENTIFY.

I MEAN, I THINK THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS YOU ALL HAD THIS DISCUSSION WAS BASED ON SOME CONCERNS THAT WERE BROUGHT FORWARD ON, WHETHER IT WAS, YOU KNOW, HEALTH OR SAFETY OR PERHAPS ISSUES AND A GENERAL COMPLAINTS.

AND THEN WE TECHNICALLY COULDN'T SAY HOW MANY STARS WE HAVE IN THE CITY.

THERE'S MORE THAN LOOK AT ALL OF THIS.

THIS IS A FIRST STEP TO IDENTIFY THAT.

WELL, AND I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF BENEFITS AND POOR CITIZENS FOR HAVING IT, TOO.

I MEAN, WITH THE SAFETY CHECKS, I THINK, YOU KNOW, THAT BUILDS IN A LAYER FOR OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL, IS, YOU KNOW, IF WE TALK ABOUT THE TRANSPARENCY OF HAVING THE COLLECTION AS WE'RE GROWING AND WE'RE, YOU KNOW, BRINGING IN, WHETHER IT BE BUSINESSES OR ACTIVITIES OR EVENTS, BEING ABLE TO HAVE A COLLECTION OF WHERE PEOPLE CAN STAY AND OFFERING, YOU KNOW, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE OUR GREAT CONVENTION CENTER, BUT OTHER PLACES WHERE WE CAN OFFER DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, OFFERINGS I THINK WILL BE IMPORTANT.

SO I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THIS FORWARD AND TAKING CARE OF IT.

QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? NOT US OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. NONE. G7.

ANYONE HERE WISH JUST TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON ITEM SEVEN? SEEING NONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THANK YOU, AMY, FOR WALKING THROUGH, WALKING US ALL THROUGH ALL THESE VARIOUS ISSUES.

PLEASE CALL ITEMS H1 AND H2 TOGETHER.

THAT'S SEPARATE. OKAY.

[H.1 Consideration Of A Resolution Authorizing An Agreement For Construction Of The 2026 Major Road Resurfacing Project With Asphalt Inc., LLC dba Lone Star Paving Company In An Amount Not To Exceed $1,403,910.]

WE CALL ITEM H ONE CONSIDERATION FOR RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE 2026 MAJOR ROAD RESURFACING PROJECT WITH LONESTAR PAVING COMPANY.

SO GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

JESSICA KENT, SENIOR ENGINEER.

THE ITEM BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS THE CONTRACTOR SELECTION FOR THE 2026 MAJOR ROADWAYS RESURFACING PROJECT.

THIS PROJECT IS FUNDED THROUGH THE 2022 BOND PROGRAM AND 2025 CERTIFICATE OF OBLIGATION.

THE PROJECT INCLUDES, THE RECENTLY ANNEXED ANDERSONVILLE ROAD, CYPRESS CREEK ROAD TO FM 2769, WHICH IS THE PORTION OF ROAD, AND WEST PARK STREET THERE.

DRIVE TO ALL 23.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, LAKE KLEIN BOULEVARD, CEDAR HILLS BOULEVARD TO CEDAR CREST DRIVE.

THE PROJECT INCLUDES REMOVAL OF THE TOP TWO INCHES OF ASPHALT, A NEW TWO INCH LAYER OF ASPHALT, SUBGRADE REPAIR, AND PAVEMENT MARKINGS.

ADDITIONALLY, THE PROJECT INCLUDES RECONSTRUCTION OF THE NORTHBOUND LANES OF LAKE LANE BOULEVARD BETWEEN CEDAR CREST DRIVE AND CEDAR HILLS BOULEVARD TO IMPROVE SAFETY AND DRAINAGE ALONG THE CURVES SECTION OF THE ROAD.

CONSTRUCTION IS PLANNED DURING THE LEANDER ISD SUMMER RECESS, AND TRAFFIC WILL BE WILL BE REDUCED DOWN TO ONE LANE IN EACH DIRECTION FOR THE DURATION OF WORK ON LAKELAND BOULEVARD.

THIS PROJECT WAS PROCURED USING THE COMPETITIVE STEEL PROPOSED DELIVERY METHOD, WHICH ALLOWS THE CITY TO SELECT THE AUTHOR WHO PRESENTS THE GREATEST OVERALL VALUE TO THE CITY.

A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL WAS PUBLICLY ADVERTISED IN FEBRUARY, AND THREE PROPOSALS WERE RECEIVED FROM INTERESTED CONTRACTORS.

IN MARCH, A SELECTION COMMITTEE CONSISTING OF DEPARTMENT STAFF INDIVIDUALLY RANKED AND SUBMITTED QUALIFICATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE STATUTES AND EVALUATIONS CRITERIA STATED IN THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL.

BASED ON THE RESULT OF THE GRADING PROCESS, CITY STAFF FOUND THAT LONESTAR PAVING COMPANY WAS THE HIGHEST RANKED OF THE PROPOSED CONTRACTORS.

THE CONSTRUCTION DATE DURATION FOR THIS PROJECT IS 60 DAYS.

THEREFORE, STAFF RECOMMENDS THE CITY MANAGER BE AUTHORIZED TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH ASPHALT INCORPORATED, LLC DURING BUSINESS HOURS AND THEN START PAVING COMPANY IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $1,403,910.

THAT'S IT FOR ANY QUESTIONS I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER.

I GOT ONE QUESTION.

SO WE HAD SOME WORK DONE ACROSS THE CITY, AND WE'VE PAVED SOME ROADS AND THEN ALSO AND SOME CONSTRUCTION CREWS COME IN AND, AND DIFFERENT SOLVENTS AND CHEMICALS HAVE BEEN DROPPED ON SOME OF THOSE, A NEWLY PAVED AREAS.

DID WE DO ANYTHING TO MAKE SURE THAT OTHER CREWS FINISHED THEIR WORK BEFORE WE, REPAVE THE ROAD SO THAT WE CAN ENSURE THAT THE PAVEMENT LASTS LONGER? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

I'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT IN TERMS OF FOR MITIGATION OR MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE KEEPING A CLEAN SPACE.

YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT THE EXAMPLE OF ANOTHER GROUP BEING IN EXISTENCE BEFORE OUR WORK CREW COMES IN.

IS THAT THE QUESTION THAT YOU HAVE A. YES.

SO BASICALLY, YOU PAVED THE ROAD, ERIC, GO AHEAD SCHEDULE.

IS THERE SOMETHING MORE IN LINE WITH YOUR WORK? YEAH.

WHAT BEFORE WE COORDINATE WITH, RANDY AND ENGINEERING

[02:20:01]

AND THAT TEAM, AND WE GO AND DO A REALLY DEEP, THOROUGH INSPECTION OF THE WASTEWATER SYSTEM UNDERNEATH THOSE PROJECTS BEFORE THAT ASPHALT GETS THERE.

AND WE ALSO DO LEAK DETECTION, VALVE EXERCISE AND MAINTENANCE.

BE SURE THE WATER SYSTEM IS READY FOR IT SO THAT IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT COMES UP, HOPEFULLY THAT PAVEMENT THAT'S BEEN THERE QUITE SOME TIME.

BUT THEN THERE ARE SOME OTHER WORK LIKE COMMUNICATION WORK AND STUFF THAT SOMETIMES WE JUST CAN'T SEE THAT COMING.

BUT, FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER, WE'RE PRETTY GOOD ABOUT MITIGATING ALL OF THOSE THINGS THAT ARE KIND OF AGING BEFORE A NEW PAVEMENT GOES IN.

IT'S NOT AS GETS AS SIMPLE AS, US APPROVING CONTRACTS IS A LOT OF WORK THAT YOUR STAFF DOES TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WORK THAT'S DONE IS DONE SUCCESSFULLY.

YEAH, WE GIVE IT A GOOD A GOOD INSPECTION BEFORE WE GET THERE AND HAVE TIME TO MAKE ANY KIND OF CORRECTIONS THAT WE NEED TO MAKE OR TO BE SURE THAT EVERYTHING'S WORKING APPROPRIATELY SO WE DON'T HAVE TO DIG IT UP.

BUT I SUSPECT WE'VE DONE WORK WITH LONE START BEFORE, RIGHT? OH, YEAH. LET'S GET SOME WORK OUT. YEAH, YEAH.

IN THE NAME OF THE ROLE FOR MAYOR.

SO PERFORMANCE HISTORY IS NOT A QUESTION EVEN THOUGH IT CAME UP AS BEST VALUE IS FOR MAKE SURE THAT THE EXECUTION IS GOOD.

SO YEAH WE DO THINK YOU'RE VERY HAPPY WITH IT.

WE DID THIS TO RIDGE RECENTLY AND PARK STREET.

THOSE WERE TWO DIFFERENT ONES THAT FOR THE LAST YEAR, 2025 SUMMER WAS GOING TO START PAVING ALSO, BUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ROADS BENEFIT.

ARE YOU SEEING YOU KNOW, WHICH THE MILEAGE OF THIS PROJECT FOR THIS, THIS BUDGET SIMILAR MILEAGE OF PAVING PRICE INCREASE.

AND SO THAT WAS A THREE.

IS IT CHANGED DRASTICALLY OR, FOR THIS, CURRENT? WHAT WE DO IS WE TRY TO COMPARE THE MILEAGE OF THIS ONE PROJECT VERSUS THE SIMILAR, SOMEWHAT ANTICIPATING.

SO WE HAVEN'T SEEN AN UPTICK ON COSTS YET AFFECTING THAT KIND OF AS RAIN.

ANYTHING PETROLEUM BASED IS GOING TO BE IMPACTED BY WHAT'S GOING ON.

AND YEAH, IS A GREAT PARTY. YEAH.

THERE YOU GO.

I'M ALREADY GONNA SAY SOMETHING IN THREE PART HARMONY, PLEASE.

RANDY LEADER, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING, CAPITAL PROJECTS.

WE ACTUALLY WERE PRETTY WORRIED ABOUT OIL PRICES ON THIS, THIS BID BECAUSE IT WAS.

I THINK WE OPEN BIDS ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO AFTER OIL PRICES SHOT UP.

BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON, EITHER THEY'RE HEDGING THEIR OIL PRICES OR.

BUT LET'S START PAVING.

THEY KIND OF CONTROL THE MIX. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN PLANT.

LIKE THEY CAN.

IF THEY WANT A JOB, THEY CAN GO GET A JOB.

SO WE DIDN'T SEE THAT PRICE INCREASE THAT YOU PROBABLY WOULD ANTICIPATE IF YOU SEE $4 A GALLON FOR GAS, BUT THEY'RE TAKING THEY'RE ACCEPTING THE RISK OF THAT.

AND YOU KNOW, SO YEAH, WE'RE LOCKED INTO THIS PRICE LIKE FUEL OR AN ASPHALT COMPOUND.

OUR PETROLEUM BASED EXPENSES AS A, AS A PERCENT OF THE TOTAL COST.

SO THEY'RE EXCEPT THEY'RE BEARING THAT RISK AS IT MOVES.

RIGHT. YEAH.

WELL WE'RE LOCKED INTO THIS PRICE AND WE'LL GET IT, WHICH IS PRETTY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE SEEN OVER THE PAST COUPLE SUMMERS AS A ALL RIGHT.

MAYOR, I MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM H ONE AS PRESENTED SECOND.

MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM BOYCE, IF I CAN BACK ON CURRICULUM, WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
