[00:00:03]

LET'S GO. CITY COUNCIL TO ORDER. WE DO HAVE A QUORUM.

FIRST UP ON THE AGENDA IS THE DISCUSSION OF THE CONSENT AND REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS. GO AHEAD AND TAKE A QUICK LOOK AT THAT. WE DO HAVE A PROCLAMATION FOR NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK.

COUNCILMEMBER TROYER, I'VE GOT YOU WITH THE INVOCATION. COUNCILMEMBER JONES, I HAVE YOU WITH THE PLEDGES CONSENT AGENDA ITEM ONE THE MINUTES.

ITEM TWO CONCESSIONAIRE AGREEMENT REGARDING JETSKI RENTALS FOR THE LAKE.

ITEM THREE TRANSPORTATION CONSULTATION SERVICES.

ITEM FOUR BID AWARD FOR OLD TOWN LEWISVILLE GATEWAY MONUMENTS.

I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THIS ONE. SO THIS IS JUST FOR ONE MONUMENT, RIGHT? YES. CORRECT. YES. OKAY. SO WE DO, BUT WE ARE STILL PLANNING TO DO MORE THAN JUST ONE.

WE'RE JUST GOING TO DO ONE AT A TIME. ONE AT A TIME? YEAH. THREE TOTAL. AS LONG AS YOU ALL WANT TO GO FOR THREE.

SO I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU GUYS RECOMMENDED WITH CANOES ARE LOCAL.

SO. WHAT? HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE? 46. 44.

OKAY. OKAY. SO WE'VE MADE SURE A FIRE TRUCK CAN FIT OUT OF THIS.

YEAH, WELL, THAT GAVE ME SO MUCH CONFIDENCE. WELL, WE HAVEN'T DRIVEN ONE THROUGH IT YET, BUT.

OH, PLEASE DON'T DRIVE ONE THROUGH IT. BUT, YES, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE.

I THINK ONE THERE WAS, IT WAS 20FT FROM LIKE THE LOWEST POINT.

BUT THEN LIKE THERE ARE UP THERE. OKAY. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS OH THAT'S THE END OF UNDER THAT.

YEAH, I THINK WE'RE GOOD. I THINK THE TRUCKS ARE ONLY 30 TO 50.

UNDERPASS. THAT'S REALLY GOOD. OKAY. OKAY. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. ITEM FIVE. AN AWARD FOR GREEN SCAPING LP.

THIS IS FOR HEADWALL REPLACEMENT. WHAT'S THE NORMAL TIME THAT THESE SHOULD LAST? IS THIS A DAVID SONG? NO. THIS IS THEY SHOULD LAST PROBABLY 30 OR 40 YEARS.

CONSTRUCTED CORRECTLY. THESE, UNFORTUNATELY WERE NOT.

OKAY. SO I DID NOTICE ONE OF THEM WAS MUCH OLDER THAN THE OTHER ONE.

SO THE OTHER ONE WAS LIKE, WHAT, 20 YEARS OLD? YEAH. MARSHALL PLACE WAS BUILT IN 2001. YEAH.

NO. YEAH. I MEAN, THEY'VE BEEN PROGRESSING THIS DIRECTION FOR.

LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE WHILE, BUT THEY WEREN'T QUITE THE DESIGN WASN'T WHAT THEY WOULD BE, WHAT THE NEW DESIGN WILL BE FOR SURE.

OKAY. HOW FREQUENTLY DO WE INSPECT THOSE AS FAR AS REAR HEAD WALLS? YEAH. DO WE DO, LIKE AN ANNUAL INSPECTION OR.

WE DON'T DO TYPICALLY A FORMAL INSPECTION, BUT WE HAVE PEOPLE OUT LOOKING AT THEM JUST IN NORMAL DURING NORMAL WORK.

AS THEY, YOU KNOW, THE DRAINAGE CREWS DO WORK. THEY DO INFORMAL INSPECTIONS.

OKAY. JUST CURIOUS. THANK YOU. YEAH. WE KEEP AN EYE ON THEM, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A FORMAL INSPECTION PROCESS.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THAT IS THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEM F REGULAR HEARING.

AMENDING THE CITY CODE. PARKING RESTRICTION IN THE OLD TOWN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT.

YEAH. ITEM SEVEN. REGARDING RECORDS MANAGEMENT.

SO BRINGING OUR RECORDS MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE UP TO 2025.

VINTAGE VERSUS 1990 VINTAGE. THIS IS ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

ALSO IN YOUR AUDIT AND AUDIT YOU HAVE DONE. ITEM EIGHT REAPPOINTMENT OF THE CITY OF CITY OF LEWISVILLE'S REPRESENTATIVE ON THE UPPER TRINITY REGIONAL WATER DISTRICT BOARD, AND THAT'S MR. AARON RUSSELL. YES, I THINK WE'RE OKAY WITH THAT.

RIGHT? I HOPE SO. ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT? I'M I MEAN, I'VE ENJOYED IT SO FAR.

THEY GOT A GOOD BREAKFAST GOING ON, RIGHT? IT'S A IT'S A LUNCH, AND IT'S GREAT.

THEY TREAT US WELL. AND I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING ON THE AGENDA FOR CLOSED.

SO. OKAY. AWESOME. WELL, WITH THAT, IF THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT THE AGENDA, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO ITEM B, WHICH IS THE SHORT TERM RENTAL DENSITY UPDATE.

AND OUR DIRECTOR OF NEIGHBORHOOD AND INSPECTION SERVICES, MR. CHRIS MCGINN, WILL PRESENT THE PRESENTATION.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I JUST WANTED TO TALK TO YOU ALL A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE INFORMATION THAT WE'VE COLLECTED FROM OUR PUBLIC INPUT CONCERNING

[00:05:06]

WE HAD A ONE YEAR IN TERM PROHIBITION ON SHORT TERM RENTALS, AND THAT ORDINANCE TOOK EFFECT IN JULY.

WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT AT COUNCIL RETREAT ABOUT ADDITIONAL CHANGES TO THE SHORT TERM RENTAL REGULATIONS AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC INPUT.

AND SO I'M GOING TO TALK TO YOU THIS EVENING ABOUT THE PUBLIC INPUT INFORMATION THAT WE'VE COLLECTED.

WITH A COUPLE OF SURVEYS AND AN OPEN HOUSE AND ALSO YOU KNOW, SINCE SINCE WE LAST DISCUSSED THIS WE HAD ADOPTED THE LIMIT ON 130 ACTIVE SHORT TERM RENTAL PERMITS. JUST TAKING A SNAPSHOT LOOK OF CURRENT PERMITS THAT WE HAVE. LAST TIME WE SPOKE DURING RETREAT, I BELIEVE PERMITTED SHORT TERM RENTALS FOR 77.

SO NOW WE'RE AT 94. WE HAD IDENTIFIED THAT THERE WERE SHORT TERM RENTALS THAT WANTED A PERMIT DURING THE THE INTERIM PROHIBITION ON SHORT TERM RENTALS. AND SO THOSE HAVE NOW GONE THROUGH THE PERMITTING PROCESS.

AND SO AND WE'RE LOOKING AT SOME 16 ADDITIONAL PERMITS IN PROGRESS.

SO EVENTUALLY THOSE WILL GET A PERMIT. SO WE'RE, WE'RE LOOKING AT 110 COMBINED.

YOU KNOW, APPLICATIONS AND PERMITS. FOR SHORT TERM RENTALS.

SO LOOKING AT THAT THRESHOLD COMING UP ON ON 130.

ANY ANY OF THAT HAVE NOT BEEN PERMITTED HAVE GONE THROUGH THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS.

CITATIONS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. AND SO THEY'RE WORKING THEIR WAY THROUGH THROUGH COURT AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX. LOOKING AT THE PERMITTED LOCATIONS.

AND IF THOSE SHORT TERM RENTALS ARE REMITTING OR REPORTING HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAXES, ABOUT 33% OF THOSE ARE ACTUALLY REMITTING OR REPORTING HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAXES.

SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND IS THAT WE'VE JUST PERMITTED YOU KNOW, QUITE A FEW OF THESE 20, 30 PERMITS. AND SO THEY'RE THEY'RE KIND OF NEW IN THE PROCESS.

AND MAY NOT HAVE REPORTED YET. BUT BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT IS LOOKING AT CREATING NOTIFICATION LETTERS TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT THE PROCESS.

SO THAT WE CAN GET THAT INFORMATION OUT. AND AFTER THOSE LETTERS GO OUT.

CODE ENFORCEMENT WILL BEGIN ENFORCEMENT MEASURES.

AND JUST AS A REMINDER TO COUNCIL THAT AS THESE COME UP FOR RENEWAL THAT THEY WILL NOT BE THEIR PERMIT WON'T BE REISSUED IF THEY'RE NOT CURRENT ON EITHER REPORTING OR REMITTING THOSE, THOSE HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAXES.

SO DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA, LIKE HOW MUCH THESE STARS ARE BEING RENTED OUT? JUST I MEAN, WHAT ARE THESE ARE. DO WE HAVE STARS THAT ARE PERMITTED THAT AREN'T ACTUALLY STARS THAT ARE OPERATING? THEY'RE JUST HOLDING A PERMIT TO KEEP SOMEBODY ELSE FROM HAVING ONE.

SO SO IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF INVESTIGATION TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE THEY TRULY HAVE STAYS OR NOT.

ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE LOOK AT THAT IS, IS THEY HAVE COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE THAT HAVE STAYED IN THE SHORT TERM RENTAL, SO WE CAN DEDUCT THAT THEY ACTUALLY DID HAVE A STAY.

YOU KNOW, THE OTHER PART OF THAT IS, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THEY JUST HAVEN'T RECORDED A ZERO WITH WITH THEIR HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAXES AND THEY'RE JUST BEHIND AND DOING THAT. SO IT TAKES A LITTLE INVESTIGATION ON EACH ONE.

BUT WHETHER THEY'RE THEY'RE NOT REPORTING OR THEY'RE NOT PAYING FOR THEIR HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAXES, THAT WOULD PREVENT THEM FROM FROM ANY TYPE OF RENEWAL.

A LOT OF THESE WILL BE COMING UP FOR RENEWAL.

AND IN AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, I HAVE THE SAME QUESTION, BUT PROBABLY FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE, WHICH IS THIS, THIS THIS IS BASICALLY AN HONOR SYSTEM, RIGHT? THERE'S NO AUDIT AVAILABLE TO US TO GO BACK AND SAY, YOU KNOW, HAVE YOU RENTED OUT FOR 100 DAYS, BUT YOU ONLY GET SIX DAYS? I'VE BEEN GOING BACK AND TRYING TO CORRELATE COMMENTS AND GO BACK AND MAKE A THUMB IN THE AIR. IT IS ON YOUR HONOR SYSTEM.

YOU KNOW, ONCE WE'RE ABLE TO UPGRADE TO THE NEW HOST COMPLIANCE PLATFORM, WE'LL BE ABLE TO LOOK A LITTLE BIT CLOSER AT COMMENTS AND SEARCHING THROUGH ALL THE DIFFERENT PLATFORMS THAT THEY CAN POST ON.

AND THERE'S ABOUT 75. OKAY. AND REALLY, YOU KNOW, LOOK AT THAT AND SEND FORMAL NOTIFICATION NOTICES LIKE,

[00:10:07]

AND WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT SEEING THAT INFORMATION BEING REPORTED.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. SO THE PUBLIC INPUT THAT WE'VE CREATED WE HAD DENSITY SURVEY GO OUT AND FOR REALLY SUCCESSFUL AT GETTING SOME RESPONSES FROM FROM THE CITY RESIDENTS CONCERNING THIS 602 SUBMISSIONS.

WE ALSO SENT OUT INFORMATION ABOUT THE OPEN HOUSE THAT WE, THAT WE HELD IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR, WITH OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT. AND, AND REALLY PROMOTED THAT WITH ALL OF OUR EMAIL CONTACTS THAT WE HAD.

WE HAD ABOUT 20 ATTENDEES. AND THEN AFTER THAT OPEN HOUSE, WE HAD A SURVEY THAT WAS RUNNING ALONGSIDE ASKING THE SAME QUESTIONS THAT WE ASKED THAT AT OPEN HOUSE.

AND WE HAD 29 ADDITIONAL SUBMISSIONS FROM THAT.

LOOKING AT THE THE SURVEY INFORMATION THAT WE DID IN FEBRUARY, MARCH.

LOOKING AT WHAT RESPONDENTS EITHER AGREE OR STRONGLY AGREE.

WE ARE SEEING LIMITING SHORT TERM RENTALS TO CERTAIN ZONING DISTRICTS THAT WORK FOR, YOU KNOW, ARLINGTON SITUATION, BUT MAY NOT WORK FOR LEWISVILLE.

WHEN WE LOOK AT SPECIFIC ZONING DISTRICTS. THERE CURRENTLY AREN'T ANY SHORT TERM RENTALS IN OUR OLD TOWN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT, BUT FURTHER DOWN, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT 64% OF RESIDENTS THINK THAT THERE SHOULD BE MINIMUM DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS BETWEEN SHORT TERM RENTALS.

71. I THINK THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF LIMITATIONS ON DENSITY FOR APARTMENTS.

SO YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT MULTIFAMILY ZONING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

AND MOST CITIES THAT THAT ARE LOOKING AT THAT SORT OF THING ARE LOOKING AT A PERCENTAGE OF UNITS WITHIN THE APARTMENT COMPLEX.

THAT WOULD BE BE ALLOWED A SHORT TERM RENTAL PERMIT.

AND ALSO SETTING A NUMBER OF PERCENT OF SHORT TERM RENTALS ON A STREET OR BLOCK.

SO, LONG STORY SHORT, THE MAJORITY OF RESIDENTS THINK THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME DENSITY LIMITATIONS IN SOME WAY.

THE OPEN HOUSE THAT WE HELD YOU KNOW, SENDING THAT INFORMATION OUT, WE WERE COLLECTING INFORMATION ON IF THEY WERE HOMEOWNERS, IF THEY LIVE IN LEWISVILLE. REALLY SPEAKING WITH THE RESIDENTS THAT CAME, I SAW TWO ENDS OF THE SPECTRUM.

I SAW SHORT TERM RENTAL OWNERS THAT MAY OWN MULTIPLE SHORT TERM RENTALS.

AND THEN I ALSO SAW FOLKS THAT WERE, YOU KNOW, COMPLETELY AGAINST SHORT TERM RENTALS AND DIDN'T WANT SHORT TERM RENTALS AT ALL.

AND SO I FELT LIKE I WAS SPEAKING WITH, YOU KNOW, BOTH ENDS OF THE SPECTRUM.

AND WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE DATA, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE, WHAT WE ALSO SEE.

AND THEN THE SURVEY THAT WE WERE RUNNING AFTER THAT OPEN HOUSE ASKING THE SAME QUESTIONS, WE, WE HAD THAT OPEN FOR A WEEK AND DID THAT OUTREACH TO THAT SAME LIST OF CONTACTS THAT WE HAVE.

WE ALSO PROMOTED THIS ON SOCIAL MEDIA MULTIPLE TIMES TO TRY TO GET THE MOST GET THE INFORMATION OUT THERE SO THAT IF RESIDENTS WANTED TO RESPOND, THEY WERE THEY WERE ABLE TO DO SO. AND SO I FEEL LIKE WE'VE, WE'VE DONE OUR DUE DILIGENCE TO REALLY REACH OUT TO THE RESIDENTS TO TRY TO GET INFORMATION ON THIS PARTICULAR TOPIC. SO THIS KIND OF GOT STUCK.

LOOKING AT SHORT TERM RENTAL REGULATIONS, YOU'RE SEEING 30% DISAGREE.

30% 34% NEUTRAL. 31 AGREE. SO THAT DIDN'T NECESSARILY HELP ME OUT A WHOLE LOT.

ON IF FOLKS WERE CURRENTLY SATISFIED WITH THE REGULATIONS.

BUT ALSO LOOKING AT THE DATA FROM THE OPEN HOUSE AND THE FOLLOW UP SURVEY.

WE ARE SEEING THAT 40, 48% OF RESIDENTS WANTED I THINK THAT SHORT TERM RENTALS SHOULD BE ALLOWED IN MULTIFAMILY.

BUT WE'LL TALK ABOUT KIND OF WHAT THEIR THOUGHTS ARE FOR THOSE DENSITY RESTRICTIONS.

I PROVIDED COUNCIL SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON LINEAR DISTANCE FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND BLOCK BASE PERCENTAGE FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

AND THEN ON THE BACK SIDE OF BACKSIDE OF THAT FIRST PAGE IS THE INFORMATION ON WHAT CITIES ARE DOING FOR.

FOR MULTIFAMILY, IT'S JUST BLOWN UP A LITTLE BIT BIGGER SO YOU CAN SEE IT BECAUSE. IT'S KIND OF SMALL ON THE SLIDE.

THE OTHER QUESTION THAT WE ASKED WAS, YOU KNOW.

DO WE THINK THAT SHORT TERM RENTALS THOSE, THOSE NUMBERS ARE PERMITTED SHORT TERM RENTALS.

[00:15:06]

OUR 130 SHORT TERM RENTAL LIMIT. AND SO 61% OF THE RESIDENTS WERE THINKING THAT KEEPING IN MIND THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE ABOUT 26,000 APARTMENT UNITS, YOU KNOW, 5% OF.

THAT COULD REPRESENT YOU KNOW, 1300. SHORT TERM RENTALS UNITS.

SO THE INFORMATION HERE KIND OF SHOWS THAT MAYBE FOLKS THINK THAT THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE 130 SHORT TERM RENTAL LIMIT. KEY RESULTS. ALSO, WE FOUND WITH THE DISCUSSION ON THE BLOCK PHASE, THE THE INFORMATION THAT WE SHOWED DURING THE OPEN HOUSE WAS SHOWING 1 TO 2 SHORT TERM RENTALS PER, PER BLOCK FACE. WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR SURVEY CITIES AND, YOU KNOW WE DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY OF OUR SURVEY CITIES UTILIZING THE BLOCK FACE. I THINK THE DISCUSSION AT COUNCIL RETREAT WAS MAYBE LOOKING AT DENSITY, WHERE WE WERE LOOKING AT BLOCK PHASE, AND WE WERE ALSO LOOKING AT LINEAR DISTANCE.

BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT CORPUS CHRISTI, EULESS, SAN ANTONIO SAN MARCOS, WHERE THEY'RE LOOKING AT A 1 OR 2 PERCENTAGE PER PER RACE. BUT BUT NOTHING, NOTHING REALLY GOING ON IN OUR SURVEY CITIES.

THE EXCEPTION TO THAT IS DENTON, WHERE THEY'RE LOOKING AT LINEAR DISTANCE OF 100FT.

AND AND SO LOOKING AT LINEAR DISTANCE, YOU KNOW, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? OUR SURVEY CITIES, THEY RANGE FROM WELL, I LIKE I SAID, DENTON IS THE ONLY ONE, BUT BUT IN TEXAS, LOOKING AT WHAT THOSE LINEAR DISTANCES LOOK LIKE, IT COULD BE ANYWHERE FROM 100 TO TO 1000.

AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THAT REPRESENTED A LITTLE BIT CRUDELY ON THE MAPS HERE.

BUT LOOKING AT THAT YOU KNOW, IF YOU THINK ABOUT 100FT WOULD BE BASICALLY LIKE THE HOUSE ON THIS SIDE AND THE HOUSE ON THAT SIDE.

IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 100FT, YOU KNOW, 1000FT.

COULD YOU KNOW, IF YOU LOOK AT THAT. HOW BIG THAT CIRCLE IS? THAT REPRESENTS 80 TO 82 ACRES. SO AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE HOW MANY SHORT TERM RENTALS THAT WOULD REPRESENT FOR LEWISVILLE.

WE KNOW THAT THERE AREN'T SHORT TERM. THE KMA CASTLE HILLS MASTER ASSOCIATION DOESN'T ALLOW SHORT TERM RENTALS, BUT SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF UNDER 300 FOR SHORT TERM RENTALS FOR THE ENTIRE CITY.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT 1000FT IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT 500FT, IT COULD BE I THINK 12 OR 1300 WAS THE NUMBER THAT WE CAME UP WITH IF EVERYTHING WAS WAS SPACED OUT. I DON'T KNOW, THAT WOULD COUNT ON THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION ENFORCING THAT.

THAT IS THAT IS IN THE RULES. BUT WE CLEARLY ALREADY HAVE AT LEAST 1 OR 2 OUT THERE FROM WHAT I CAN TELL. SO THEY CAN ENFORCE A LOT OF DIFFERENT IS A DIFFERENT STORY.

AND THE OTHER THE OTHER PART OF THAT IS IT MAY BE A SITUATION WHERE IT'S MULTIFAMILY WE.

AND WE'RE JUST NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ADDRESS IN THAT PARTICULAR CASE.

THE PROPERTY MANAGER DOESN'T HAVE ANY CONTROL BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHO THE TENANT IS.

THAT'S BASICALLY LEASING THE LOCATION. SO SOME OF THOSE WERE KIND OF STUCK ON FROM TRYING TO GET THE NOTICE TO THE RIGHT PERSON.

AND IN THOSE PARTICULAR CASES. LOOKING AT SET DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS.

SO REALLY THE INFORMATION FROM THE OPEN HOUSE AND THE FOLLOW UP SURVEY.

IF I WAS TO AVERAGE THESE IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OVER 500.

YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I'M GETTING COMMENTS FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE FENCE.

WITH MOST FOLKS WANTED LOW, LOW DENSITY 100FT AND AND THE OTHER HALF, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE WANTING YOU KNOW, 1000FT. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE TO BE RIGHT AROUND 500.

BUT THE QUESTION ON RECONSIDERING THE 130 PERMIT LIMIT ON SHORT TERM PERMITS ISSUED.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE 12% OR 48%, YOU KNOW, THEY EITHER THE FOLKS ARE SAYING THAT RESIDENTS WERE SAYING THAT THE MAX COULD BE LOWER OR NO, THAT NUMBER SHOULD STAY AS IS.

SO, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE COMING BACK TO AND REVISITING ON, ON SOME SORT OF ROUTINE BASIS.

[00:20:01]

WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT A WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT LOOKING AT BLOCK FACE BASE AND ALSO A LINEAR DISTANCE. THERE'S A COUPLE OF CITIES, SAN MARCOS AND BERNIE THAT HAVE THAT HAVE THAT INFORMATION OR HAVE THAT ORDINANCE WHERE THEY'RE LOOKING AT THAT. AND WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT MULTIFAMILY YOU KNOW, OUR, OUR THREE SURVEY CITIES, DALLAS, GRAPEVINE, 3%, PLANO 5% AND 10% STATEWIDE, YOU'RE LOOKING AT AUSTIN WITH 3% LIMIT.

ROCKWALL, 5%, AND SAN ANTONIO AND EULESS AT 12.5% LIMIT FOR MULTIFAMILY.

SO IF IF COUNCIL DESIRES TO LOOK AT DENSITY REQUIREMENTS WE'VE IDENTIFIED SOME AREAS OF THE ORDINANCE IN THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE. AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, THERE'S JUST SOME CLEANUP THAT THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN ANYWAY.

BUT, YOU KNOW, AND AND MEANING THAT WE WOULD NEED TO CLEAN UP THE AND REMOVE THE INTERIM PROHIBITION LANGUAGE THAT'S IN IN THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, BUT IDENTIFYING SOME SOME DEFINITIONS IN THE UDC.

ADDING THOSE DENSITY REQUIREMENTS AND THEN NOTIFYING THOSE EXISTING SHORT TERM RENTALS THAT, HEY, IF THESE DENSITY REQUIREMENTS COME UP, THAT THEY WON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO TO MEET THOSE FOR ANYTHING, THAT'S THAT'S BEEN PERMITTED. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE SEEN SINCE THESE HAVE COME THROUGH THE PERMITTING PROCESS IS THAT WE'RE SEEING SOME SHORT TERM RENTALS IN JUST 1 OR 2 AREAS OF THE CITY WHERE WE MIGHT BE HAVING THAT CLUSTERING EFFECT OF SHORT TERM RENTALS.

AND AND SO THAT'S MAYBE NOT SOMETHING THAT I, THAT I'VE SEEN PREVIOUS TO THIS AND THEN DISCUSSION ON ALSO POSSIBLE CHANGES TO CHAPTER FOUR IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT ANYWAY, IS LOOKING AT MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY REQUIREMENTS AND CLEANING THAT UP A LITTLE BIT TO NOT INCLUDE BEDROOMS AS DINING ROOMS AND LIVING ROOMS, OFFICES. BUT SOME, SOME LOOKING AT APPLICATION AND ADDING THAT DENSITY LANGUAGE TO THE APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS SOME, SOME CLARIFICATIONS ON DENIAL OF A PERMIT.

AND SO AND THEN AGAIN THE LIMIT ON SHORT TERM RENTALS.

SHOULD WE, SHOULD WE COME TO THAT? CAN I ASK A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT THAT EXCLUSION? SO WHAT'S THE REASONING BEHIND I'M SURE THERE'S A GREAT POINT BEHIND.

INSTEAD OF SAYING WHAT'S EXCLUDED, YOU SAY, WHAT PARTICULARLY IS INCLUDED BECAUSE I HATE TO THINK OF PEOPLE GAMING THIS SAME WAY.

YOU DIDN'T YOU DIDN'T SAY YOU KNOW A FOYER IS CAN'T BE USED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

YEAH. SO I THINK THERE'S, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS, LIKE LOOKING AT INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE, IT TALKS ABOUT ROOMS AND BEING A CERTAIN SQUARE FOOTAGE AND HAVING THAT EGRESS AND AND SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE WOULD HAVE TO ALLOW A DINING ROOM OR A LIVING ROOM.

AND SO WE'VE, WE'VE RUN INTO THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES NOT OFTEN WITH SHORT TERM RENTALS, BUT, BUT REALLY CLEANING THAT UP A LITTLE BIT SO THAT IT PROVIDES GREATER CLARITY COMPARED TO THE INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE.

OKAY. AND SO SOME DISCUSSION POINTS. I'M GOING TO LET CLAIRE KIND OF TAKE THIS, BUT SOME, SOME INFORMATION THAT THAT WE'RE WANTING TO LOOK AT FOR DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS AND FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND FOR, FOR MULTI FAMILY. AND THEN ALSO DISCUSSION ON, ON THE, THE CURRENT LIMIT FOR ABOUT SIX MINUTES TO GO, FOLKS. YEAH. SO WITH SIX MONTHS TO GO I, I CAN GO THROUGH ALL OF THESE.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS WILL GET THROUGH ALL OF THESE. WE CAN COME BACK IN MAY OR WE CAN PUT IT ON A FUTURE COUNCIL WORKSHOP.

IF YOU GUYS ARE TRYING TO GET TO THE VIGIL TONIGHT.

BUT, COUNCIL, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? YEAH, I WOULD LIKE TO DO A PROJECT.

I WOULD LIKE TO GET IT DONE TONIGHT. I THINK IT WOULD BE VIGIL TONIGHT.

OKAY. SO? SO PUSH THIS TO ANOTHER MEETING. OKAY.

OKAY. SO WHAT I WOULD WHAT I WOULD ASK THEN IS COUNCIL.

GO AHEAD AND CAPTURE THIS SLIDE. TALK TO STAFF SO WE CAN HAVE A GOOD CONVERSATION ABOUT IT AND BRING OUR THOUGHTS THE NEXT TIME AROUND.

I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION. CAN I ASK ONE QUESTION FOR THE UNIT, THE 130 UNIT LIMIT? I THOUGHT THE IDEA BEHIND THAT WAS KIND OF A TEMPORARY, BECAUSE WE'RE ABLE TO GET THE IT CAN BE.

[00:25:07]

SO ONE IS DO YOU WANT TO HAVE A DENSITY REQUIREMENT.

AND DOES THE BLOCK FACE BY ITSELF, DOES THE JUST THE LINEAR DISTANCE, OR DO BOTH OF THEM STACKED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER MAKES SENSE TO YOU? SO THAT'S ONE PART. THE NEXT PART IS ON THE MULTIFAMILY UNIT LIMITATION.

THAT'S JUST A STANDALONE QUESTION. DO YOU WANT MULTIFAMILY TO ALLOW BE ALLOWED TO HAVE IT? AND THEN IF YOU ARE, WHAT PERCENTAGE IS THAT GOING TO BE INCLUDED IN THAT? AND THEN ALSO DO YOU WANT THAT TO COUNT TO YOUR STR TOTAL LIMIT IF YOU HAVE A TOTAL LIMIT.

AND THEN FINAL IS DO YOU WANT TO HAVE A TOTAL LIMIT ESTABLISHED ON TOP OF THAT OR BY ITSELF YOU REALLY THIS IS A MENU OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU GUYS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S RIGHT FOR LEWISVILLE. AND SO THAT'S ON THE TABLE AS WELL.

SO I WOULD SAY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WOULD WANT TO KNOW IS IF WE'RE LOOKING AT BLOCK SPACE LIMITATIONS OR DISTANCE LIMITATIONS, OR BOTH OF THEM STACKED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER, JUST TO HAVE A BETTER IDEA, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW EASY OR HARD IT WOULD BE TO COME UP WITH THIS, BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IN TERMS OF HOW MANY UNITS POTENTIAL UNITS WE COULD HAVE? I MEAN, THAT'S YEAH, WE RAN THAT JUST ON A LINEAR BASIS ALONE.

AND SO THAT WHAT WERE YOUR NUMBERS? AGAIN, IT WAS LIKE A THOUGHT THAT GO AHEAD.

YEAH. SO I DIDN'T EXCLUDE CASTLE HILL. SO THE NUMBER IS GOING TO BE LOWER THAN THIS.

BUT IF WE ARE LOOKING AT 1000FT, IT WAS 3330.

AND THEN IF WE WERE LOOKING AT THE 500 500FT LINEAR DISTANCE, IF WE LOOK AT WHAT THAT IS AND IT WAS LIKE 1200 OR 1300 SHORT TERM RENTALS, AND THAT'S ASSUMING LINEARLY THAT IT IS LIKE YOU ARE EXACTLY LIKE WE'VE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF EVERY SINGLE POINT THAT COULD BE THERE TO SPACE THEM OUT PERFECTLY ON THE BLOCK FACE.

I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE PRETTY DIFFICULT. THAT WOULD BE DIFFICULT BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL DIFFERENT. LIKE BLOCK FACES IN THE CITY CAN BE ALL VASTLY DIFFERENT FEATURES LIKE, DON'T LET ME DO THAT. I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T SEE A REASON TO EXCLUDE CASTLE HILLS, I REALLY DON'T, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THAT DISCUSSION IF THAT'S ON THE TABLE.

NO, I DON'T THINK I THINK HE'S JUST SAYING WE'RE WE'RE NOT EXCLUDING CASTLE HILLS JUST BECAUSE ONE COULD SAY, OKAY, WELL, WE KNOW THAT HOA, WHICH YOU MADE THE ARGUMENT THAT THERE'S STILL SOME THAT GETS THROUGH THERE, THAT THE THAT HOA AREA IS NOT DOESN'T ALLOW IT.

WE IN HIS CALCULATIONS HE'S CONSIDERING ALL OF IT.

OKAY, BUT IF WE WERE GOING TO SET A MAXIMUM BASED ON, YOU KNOW, THOSE WITHIN ONE OF THE CASTLE HILLS IN THERE BECAUSE THEN THAT WOULD MAKE THE MAXIMUM BIGGER, I'M AWARE. RIGHT. SO THEN IF THERE'S NOT ALLOWED HERE, THEN THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE EVERYWHERE ELSE.

RIGHT. I UNDERSTAND. BUT BY WAY OF EXAMPLE, THERE'S I'VE TALKED WITH SOME FOLKS THAT WORRY ABOUT THIS.

SOMEBODY'S SUBDIVIDED THEIR HOUSE. NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT BY HOA.

DID IT ANYWAY. HOA DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. SO WHETHER THERE'S A RULE OR NOT OR WHETHER OR NOT, THAT'S OF COURSE, A VERY DIFFERENT TOPIC. WELL, AND I DON'T THINK THE DISTANCE IS GOING TO CREATE THAT ISSUE BECAUSE DISTANCE IS YOU CAN'T SHOVE MORE ONTO ONE SIDE OF THE CITY BECAUSE YOU'VE STILL GOT A DISTANCE BUFFER.

WELL, THAT'S THE REASON TO REPLACE THE UNIT LIMIT WITH SOMETHING THAT'S MORE.

YEAH. IF IT WAS JUST A FLAT UNIT LIMIT. ABSOLUTELY.

WE'D HAVE A CHAT THAT THEY COULD DO THAT. BUT THEN FOR THE MULTI-FAMILY ONES, I'M JUST CURIOUS HOW MANY MULTI-FAMILY COMPLEXES ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN. NOT SO FAR. YEAH. RIGHT NOW, WHEN WE LET THE OWNERS OF THE OR THE MANAGEMENT COMPANIES KNOW THAT THERE'S SOMEONE WHO'S DOING AN AIRBNB, THEY DON'T THEY WILL NOT SIGN OFF. THEY'RE NOT SIGNING OFF ON THE APPLICATION.

SO THEN WE TELL THEM TO STOP OPERATING AND THEY STOP OPERATING.

SO THAT'S BEEN SUCCESSFUL SO FAR. BUT I CAN TELL YOU THERE'S OTHER CITIES THAT HAVE HAD IN MULTIFAMILY.

I HAVE STAYED IN AN AIRBNB IN A MULTIFAMILY COMPLEX.

I'D LOVE TO SEE IF WE COULD ASK ANY OF THE MULTIFAMILY FOLKS WHAT THE PROS AND CONS ARE IN THEIR MIND OF DOING IT, OR DO THEY HAVE INSURANCE REASONS THEY CAN'T DO IT? IS THERE SOME OTHER POSSIBLE REASON THAT THEY WOULDN'T? IF WE CAN GET THAT INFORMATION, THAT'D BE GREAT. WELL, THERE ARE COMPLEXES THAT THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE. RIGHT. SO, YOU KNOW, ONE, MAKE SURE TO TAKE THAT ACCOUNT AS WELL. OKAY. OKAY. IF YOU GUYS WOULD ALSO IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS INFORMATION OR WANT ON THE OTHER DATA.

LET US KNOW. WE'LL MAKE SURE TO BRING THAT TO THE NEXT TIME.

OKAY? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I THINK THAT'S IT FOR WORKSHOP.

WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE INTO REGULAR SESSION HERE AT 7:00, WHICH IS LESS THAN 60S.

OKAY. ALL. RIGHT. THERE WE GO. GOOD EVENING. WE'RE GOING TO CALL THIS MEETING OF THE LEWISVILLE CITY COUNCIL TO ORDER. WE DO HAVE A QUORUM. FIRST UP ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA IS THE INVOCATION BY COUNCIL MEMBER BOB

[C. Proclamations/Recognitions]

I SAW A COUPLE OF THEM FLOATING AROUND, FOLKS.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. YOU DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA? AT LEAST I DIDN'T. MAYBE YOU ALL DO. HOW MUCH PLANNING GOES INTO A COMMUNITY AND HOW WE CONTINUE TO ADAPT AND CHANGE, REUSE AND BUILD DAILY AND TO ACTUALLY HAVE A GROUP OF PROFESSIONALS THAT THEY FOCUS ON THAT EVERY DAY IS JUST IT'S A BLESSING THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT CARE SO MUCH ABOUT THE SPACES THAT WE LIVE IN, THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO MAKE A CAREER OUT OF IT, EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO SOLID GROUND. FROM DAY TO DAY SOMETIMES.

SO WHEREAS THE WEEK OF APRIL 21ST THROUGH 25TH IS DESIGNATED AS NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK BY THE NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION TO CELEBRATE THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT AND HOME PROGRAMS. AND WHEREAS, THE CDBG PROGRAM CELEBRATES 51 YEARS AND THE HOME PROGRAM 35 YEARS OF HELPING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS BY PROVIDING FLEXIBLE ANNUAL FUNDING TO SUPPORT HOUSING, NEIGHBORHOODS, AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOW AND MODERATE INCOME COMMUNITIES NATIONWIDE. AND WHEREAS, SINCE 1997, THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE HAS RECEIVED CDBG FUNDING AND FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR BECAME A HOME PARTICIPATING JURISDICTION.

AND WHEREAS, OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS, OUR COMMUNITY RECEIVED OVER 5.6 MILLION TO SUPPORT PARKS, PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE AND NONPROFIT SERVICES. THEREFORE, I, T.J. GILMORE, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE AND ON BEHALF OF THE LEWISVILLE CITY COUNCIL, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE WEEK OF APRIL 21ST THROUGH 25 AS NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK IN LEWISVILLE, TEXAS, AND URGE ALL RESIDENTS TO JOIN US IN RECOGNIZING THE PROGRAM ON ITS 51ST ANNIVERSARY.

AND THEY HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS INFORMATION MONTHLY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE REPORTING EVERYTHING PROPERLY SO THAT IT'S BEING SPENT THE WAY IT NEEDS TO BE SPENT, AND IT'S IMPACTING THE FOLKS THAT IT HAS TO IMPACT. SO I CANNOT THANK OUR CDBG TEAM.

[D. Visitors Forum]

ACTION CAN ONLY BE TAKEN AT A FUTURE MEETING.

I DO HAVE ONE PUBLIC COMMENT FROM ALEX STEIN.

MR. STEIN, IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. AND YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES. MY NAME IS ALEX STEIN.

YOU'RE IN ON THE MISSION. YOU LOVE IT WHEN KATY PERRY GOES TO SPACE AND KISSES A GIRL AND THEN POST IT ON HER INSTAGRAM AND HER TIKTOK AND GETS THOUSANDS OF LIKES. YOU LIKE THAT MARY GILMORE? YOU SIT THERE, YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME.

THE CITIZEN OF LEWISVILLE, SITTING HERE. I WORK IN THIS DANG CITY AND I'M SICK AND TIRED OF MY TAXPAYER DOLLARS BEING WASTED TO SEND A BUNCH OF BIMBOS TO SPACEX TO SEE HOW THEIR SILICONE BREAST HANDLES ZERO GRAVITY ENVIRONMENT.

I'M DONE. MAYOR GILMORE. I'M NOT GOING TO BE PART OF A SATANIC RITUAL OF A BUNCH OF BILLIONAIRE ELITES TRYING TO STEAL MY HIGH VIBRATIONAL ENERGY SO THAT THEY CAN RULE THE WORLD. AND THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS PLAGUING THE CITIZENS OF LEWISVILLE AS WELL.

NOW, YESTERDAY WAS A HUGE HOLIDAY. I KNOW YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH 420 MAYOR GILMORE, BECAUSE I, I DON'T. I MEAN, I'M SURE IN YOUR DAY, IF YOU WEREN'T A TOTAL LOSER, YOU PROBABLY SMOKED A LITTLE BIT OF WEED IN COLLEGE AND HAD A LITTLE FUN FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE. BUT, YOU KNOW, IT STARTS OFF ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'RE SMOKING A, YOU KNOW, A JOINT WITH YOUR BUDDY, YOU KNOW, DAMIEN. AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE STRUNG OUT ON FENTANYL, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO TURN A TRICK TO JUST BASICALLY MAKE ENDS MEET. BUT LISTEN, I'M NOT SAYING MARIJUANA IS A GOOD THING.

I THINK IT'S A HORRIBLE THING. BUT YESTERDAY WAS 420 AND IT WAS ALSO SOMEBODY'S VERY IMPORTANT BIRTHDAY.

NO, NOT NOT HIM, NOT HIM. IT WAS THE BIRTHDAY.

THAT'S RIGHT. SOCIAL MEDIA SENSATION, THE WHISTLER.

AND ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE WHISTLER? MAYOR GILMORE? WELL, HE'S A SOCIAL MEDIA SENSATION.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM. WELL, THE COSTCO GUYS, I'M SURE YOU GO TO COSTCO.

I CAN TELL BY LOOKING AT YOU. YOU GO TO COSTCO, BUT THAT'S NOT DISRESPECTFUL. I GO THERE, TOO. I LIKE COSTCO, I THINK THEY HAVE GOOD VALUE FOR THEIR PRICES AND THE AMOUNT OF INVENTORY YOU GET.

BUT LISTEN, WE'RE NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT COSTCO'S DELICIOUS FOOD OR THE CHICKEN BAKES.

WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT IS THE CONNECTION WITH THE GRIZZLY BEAR AND HITLER.

HITLER'S BIRTHDAY WAS FOR 20. ALL RIGHT. AND SOCIAL MEDIA SENSATION THE WHISTLER'S BIRTHDAY IS ON FOR 20.

AND TO ME, THAT DOESN'T JUST SEEM LIKE SOME RANDOM COINCIDENCE.

FOR ME, IT SEEMS LIKE SOME SORT OF COSMIC SYNCHRONICITY THAT IS SOME SORT OF LAUGHING GAME THAT THE ELITES ARE PLAYING AND JUST LAUGHING AT US.

I MEAN, LOOK, ONLY A BRAINWASHED FOOL WOULD IGNORE THESE SIGNS, OKAY?

[00:40:04]

ALL THREE HAPPENING AT THE SAME EXACT TIME. IS THE WRESTLER THE REINCARNATION OF HITLER? I DON'T THINK SO. I DON'T. I HOPE NOT. IF YOU'RE SEEING THIS, I HOPE NOT, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO WISH THAT THEY HAD A TIME MACHINE SO THEY COULD GO BACK AND TAKE OUT THE BABY. RESSLER. AND NOBODY WANTS TO TAKE OUT THE BABY. RESSLER. EVERYBODY LOVES A BABY.

RESSLER. BUT WHAT I DON'T LIKE IS A BUNCH OF BIMBOS IN SPACE.

AND LAUREN SANCHEZ, WHO'S BASICALLY, LIKE, AN AI PROGRAMED SEX ROBOT FOR FOR ELON MUSK.

AND I'LL BE HONEST, I LIKE BIG BOOTY LATINAS.

I THINK WE SHOULD DEPORT EVERYBODY EXCEPT FOR THE BIG BOOTY LATINAS.

BUT LISTEN, WE'RE NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT BIG BOOTY LATINAS. WHAT WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT IS HOW I'M NOT GOING TO PLAY PART IN SOME SATANIC ILLUMINATI, A RITUAL DONE BY SOME BALD HEADED JERK NAMED JEFF BEZOS WHO REALLY AND TRULY MY AMAZON PACKAGES.

I KNOW YOU'RE WATCHING THIS, JEFF. THEY'RE THREE DAYS. THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE TWO. THEY COME IN THREE DAYS. THEIR PACKAGES ARE LATE. OKAY, SO I'M NOT PAYING FOR MY AMAZON PRIME ACCOUNT AND YOU'RE SENDING ME MY PACKAGES LATE? WELL, YOU'RE WASTING ALL YOUR MONEY SENDING YOUR GIRLFRIEND AND KATY PERRY TO SPACE.

OKAY, JEFF. SO STOP. I KNOW YOU'RE WATCHING THIS.

CHANGE YOUR STRATEGY AND QUIT YOUR STUPID, YOU KNOW, PENILE MEASURING CONTEST WITH ELON MUSK.

NOBODY CARES, I DON'T CARE. MAYOR GILMORE SURE AS HECK DOESN'T CARE.

AND HE'S, YOU KNOW, PRETTY, CARING GUY. AND HE DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN.

HE HASN'T LOOKED UP ONCE AT ME BECAUSE THE GUY IS SCARED OF ME.

AND YOU SHOULD BE SCARED OF ME, TOO, ELON MUSK, BECAUSE.

AND JEFF BEZOS. BUT I'M REALLY MORE MAD AT JEFF BEZOS. I KIND OF LIKE ELON MUSK BECAUSE YOU CAN SAY, YOU KNOW, TOTALLY TERRIBLE STUFF ON TWITTER AND NOT GET TOTALLY CENSORED. BUT LISTEN, NO MORE BIMBOS IN SPACE LEWISVILLE THESE PATRIOTS OF THIS TOWN DO NOT DESERVE TO BE CONNED.
