May 05, 2025 City Council

[Workshop Session - 6:15 P.M. ]

[00:00:05]

SAYS. ALL RIGHT. IT IS 615. WE'RE GOING TO CALL THIS MEETING OF THE LOUISVILLE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TO ORDER. WE DO HAVE A QUORUM. THIS IS OUR WORKSHOP. AND THE FIRST THING ON THE WORKSHOP AGENDA TONIGHT IS ITEM A DISCUSSION OF CONSENT AND REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS. GO AHEAD AND TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. WE'VE GOT COUNCIL MEMBER JONES WITH THE INVOCATION. COUNCILMEMBER GREENE WITH THE PLEDGES TO FLAGS. WE HAVE A PROCLAMATION FOR NATIONAL CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS WEEK, ANOTHER ONE FOR NATIONAL DRINKING WATER WEEK, AND A THIRD FOR BIKE MONTH. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE A PRESENTATION ON ITEM D. ITEM E IS A PUBLIC HEARING SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR AN ACCESSORY BUILDING ACCESSORY STRUCTURE GREATER THAN 800FT■!S. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. ITEM ORDINANCE GRANTING A ZONE CHANGE FROM LEE TO SINGLE FAMILY. THIS IS IN THE MACKENZIE HEMBREE NEIGHBORHOOD. ITEM E3. THIS IS ANOTHER LEE TO SINGLE FAMILY. FAMILY RESIDENTIAL IN MACKENZIE HEMBREE. FOR SAY, THIRD LEE TO SINGLE FAMILY IN MACKENZIE HEMBREE. ITEM FIVE IS AN ADDITIONAL LEE TO SINGLE FAMILY IN MACKENZIE HEMBREE. I THINK THIS IS WONDERFUL. SO DO THEY HAVE PLANS RIGHT NOW? IS JUST TRYING TO GET TRYING TO GET THE ZONING IN PLACE TO DO SOMETHING.

SO A LOT OF THESE ARE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ALREADY. WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE IS THAT IN THE 70S, THERE WAS A DECISION BY THE COUNCIL TO REZONE THE PROPERTY, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, WHICH HAS CREATED A LOT OF THE ADJACENCY ISSUES. SO YOU'VE SEEN INDUSTRIAL COME UP IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. AND I THINK THIS IS REALLY THE NEIGHBORS WANTING TO TAKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD BACK AND REZONE THEIR PROPERTIES TO SINGLE FAMILY. THESE HOUSES ARE ALL THESE LOTS ARE I BELIEVE SO, BUT I CAN CONFIRM WITH RICHARD IS THAT SOME ARE VACANT, SOME HAVE. YEAH. BUT IT'S THE NEIGHBORHOOD OWNERSHIP THAT HAS BROUGHT THIS TO THE CITY TO RESOLVE EVERYTHING. YES. THAT'S GREAT. ITEM SIX AMEND THE PD CONCEPT PLAN FOR 7.46 ACRES, SOUTHWEST CORNER OF WINDHAVEN AND LADY TESLA. ARE WE GOING TO? TABLE THIS? IT'S NOT THIS ONE. NOT THIS ONE. IT'S THE NUMBER SEVEN. IS IT NUMBER SEVEN. DO WE HAVE A PRESENTATION ON THIS ONE? WE'RE NUMBER SIX. YEAH. TO BE HONEST, I WAS LOOKING THROUGH THE EXHIBITS AND I WAS HAVING A REALLY HARD TIME FIGURING OUT WHAT THE CHANGES WERE VERSUS WHAT IT USED TO BE. SO I WAS HOPING WE COULD HAVE. SURE. I MEAN, RICHARD, DO YOU HAVE THAT SLIDE THAT YOU SENT EARLIER TODAY YOU WANT TO THAT JUST BASICALLY, YEAH. I MEAN, I CAN PULL THAT ONE UP IF NEED BE. WE DIDN'T HAVE A PRESENTATION PREPARED, BUT WE CAN MAYBE WE CAN PULL UP THE PACKET AND I CAN WALK THROUGH. YEAH. IF YOU COULD JUST POINT TO WHERE THIS IS WHAT IT WAS BEFORE AND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO CHANGE IT TO BECAUSE I WAS HAVING A REALLY HARD TIME FOLLOWING IT. SO IF WE COULD DO THAT DURING DURING THIS ITEM, RICHARD, WHEN YOU'RE DOING THAT, CAN YOU ALSO BRING UP THE SLIDE THAT YOU PREPARED THAT SHOWS WHAT WAS DONE BEFORE WITH THIS? BECAUSE I HAD DIFFICULTY UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE ALREADY APPROVED, WHAT WAS WHAT WAS NEW. BECAUSE IF YOU BRING THAT UP AS WELL, THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

BECAUSE THIS IS SEPARATE FROM WHAT WE APPROVED LAST TIME. RIGHT. IT'S JUST IT'S COMING ALL TOGETHER BECAUSE IT'S WITHIN THE WHOLE. IT'S IN THE REALM SUBDISTRICT. RIGHT. SO THEY SHOWED YOU THE SITE OR THE CONCEPT PLAN BECAUSE IT'S THE ENTIRE REALM SUBDISTRICT.

REALLY, THE CHANGE HERE IS JUST GOING FROM MULTIFAMILY. NO STRUCTURED PARKING TO STRUCTURED PARKING. YEAH, I'D JUST LIKE TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT. ITEM SIX, THIS IS AMENDING THE PD. THAT'S 3.459 ACRES SOUTH OF INTERSECTION OF ESSEX AND PARKER. THIS ONE, THE APPLICANT HAS ASKED US TO PUSH THAT TO MAY 19TH. SO WE WILL. ITEM SEVEN, ITEM SEVEN. YEAH. YOU SAID SIX.

SORRY. ACCIDENTALLY. MY APOLOGIES. SO YEAH. ITEM SEVEN. THE APPLICANT HAS ASKED US TO HOLD THIS UNTIL MAY 19TH. SO WE DO HAVE TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. AND PEOPLE ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO SPEAK. BUT WE ENDED UP HAVING HAVING THE FULL COUNCIL CONVERSATION IN A COUPLE WEEKS. AND MAYOR AND COUNCIL STAFF WOULD ALSO LIKE TO HOLD THIS, JUST TO GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT TOGETHER A SMALL SLIDESHOW FOR YOU AS WELL AS ME BRIEFING LEGAL ON SOME OF THE ISSUES. SURE. ITEM F IS OUR CITIZENS FORUM G CONSENT AGENDA CONSENT AGENDA ITEM EIGHT

[00:05:05]

THERE'S CERTAIN AREAS THAT JUST DON'T SEEM TO GET HIT. WHY WHY NOT. AND THAT HAS BEEN CAPTURED IN THIS DOCUMENT WE BELIEVE. SO THAT SHOULD HELP. AGAIN WITH COUNCIL'S PUSH TO BEAUTIFY AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE WE'RE KEEPING EVERYTHING UP TO SNUFF. SO I APPRECIATE STAFF TAKING THE EXTRA TIME TO REALLY NARROW THAT DOWN. ITEM TEN CONSTRUCTION OF OLD TOWN GRAND COURTYARD, REMODEL OF OLD TOWN AND THE OLD TOWN PARK AT POCKET PARK. SO THIS IS THE BID AWARD FOR 1.4 MILLION. COUNCILMEMBER KELLY, DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THIS? I WAS JUST KIDDING. SO I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS, BUT I THINK IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO REINFORCE WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO OUT THERE FOR THE PUBLIC. IT'S A GOOD SIZED SPEND. BUT YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO GET A REFRESHER ON WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH OUT THERE. AND THIS IS ABOUT THE GRAND, NOT THE POCKET PARK. THAT'S FINE. I HAD BOTH PICTURES UP THERE. YEAH. SO BASICALLY THE IDEA OF THE GRAND COURTYARD REMODEL IS ONE TO BRING THE COURTYARD INTO FULL ADA COMPLIANCE IS THE IS ONE OF THE THINGS, BUT ALSO TO ACTIVATE IT AS WELL. SO THIS IS TO DO A SCULPTURE GARDEN WHICH WILL HAVE ROTATING SCULPTURES THAT ARE OUT THERE, AS WELL AS KIND OF A COMMON SPACE AS YOU CAN SEE IN THERE. BUT REALLY WE'LL MAKE A NICE PAUSE POINT FOR PEOPLE TO AND A WELCOME INSTEAD OF JUST HARD CONCRETE. COMING INTO THE GRAND THEATER IS HAVING A MORE SOFT AND ENGAGING ENVIRONMENT FOR REAL QUICK. COULD THIS BE USED AS ANOTHER PRESENTATION SPACE LIKE SHAKESPEARE UNDER THE STARS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? I DON'T KNOW, WE HAVEN'T REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT THAT. IT'S AN AWESOME FOCUSING ON THE ROTATING SCULPTURE GARDEN, BUT WE ARE PUTTING TURF IN THE MIDDLE TO MAKE IT A LITTLE SOFTER AND COOLER OVER TIME. SO BUT IT ACTIVATE IT SOMEHOW. MAYBE IT WAS A IT WAS ORIGINALLY A RENTAL SPACE, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S STILL ON THE IT WAS ORIGINALLY. I MEAN THEY USED TO BEFORE WE HAD WAYNE FERGUSON PLAZA BUILT, WE WERE HAVING OUR, OUR WEEKLY OR MONTHLY SORRY WEEKLY SUMMER SERIES FOR MUSIC IN THAT LOCATION. THIS WILL OBVIOUSLY BE A LOT SMALLER BECAUSE YOU WON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE SLIDES ANYMORE. SO I'M NOT SURE IF A FULL PRODUCTION OF A SHAKESPEAREAN PRODUCTION WOULD FIT OUT THERE, BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY LOOK TO ACTIVATE IT. WE DO SONNETS. IT WOULDN'T BE THE SAME PLAY. YOU KNOW, A MORE INTIMATE. YEAH, THE CLIFFSNOTES VERSION. SO, CLAIRE, WHAT'S THE TIME FRAME FOR THE CONSTRUCTION ON THIS? WELL, I KNOW THEY'RE STARTING IN THE NEXT 60 DAYS.

THEY'RE GOING TO START, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CONSTRUCTION TIME 200, ACTUALLY, 240 DAYS AND 40 DAYS. OKAY, SO IT'S GOING TO BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION DURING WESTERN DAYS. OKAY. OH, YOU'RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE SEVERAL OTHER THINGS THAT ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION TRENT WESTERN. YES.

YEAH. IT'S TOUGH WITH WESTERN DAYS AND COLOR PALOOZA AND WEATHER IN BETWEEN. YOU HAVE TO SACRIFICE ONE. SO SOMETHING GETS HIT. SOMETHING GETS HIT. OKAY. AND THEN THE POCKET PARK IS GOT ANOTHER SLIDE FOR THAT. WE DO. YEAH. SO THAT'S JUST A GENERAL CONCEPTUAL DESIGN. SO I THINK IS SULLIVAN'S SULLIVAN'S ON TOP. ON TOP. YEAH. SO THIS IS BEHIND SULLIVAN'S. IT IS ANOTHER GREAT OPPORTUNITY DURING WESTERN DAYS TO SAY HEY LOOK WHAT'S COMING. BIG CHANGES ARE COMING TO ACTUALLY PROMOTE THIS AND BRING AWARENESS. SO I'D LOVE TO SEE THAT HAPPEN OKAY. ALL RIGHT OKAY. THANK YOU FOR SEEING THAT MOVING FORWARD I APPRECIATE IT. ITEM 11 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE AND BSC CHARLES AND ELM, LLC. SITE IMPROVEMENTS.

THIS IS THE SET OF BUILDINGS BEHIND THE STREET CENTER ON CHARLES KIND OF CATTY CORNER ACROSS FROM THE SALVATION ARMY. WHY IS THAT EASEMENT IMPORTANT? BACK ON THE ON THE NORTH SIDE.

SO WE HAVE EASEMENT CURRENTLY BEHIND. RANDY OWNS PROPERTY, WHICH IS THE THREE STORY OFFICE RESIDENTIAL WITH THE IDEA THAT WE WOULD EVENTUALLY HAVE AN ALLEY BEHIND THERE. THIS WOULD CONTINUE THAT. NOW THAT AREA IS A MUCH SMALLER AREA, SO PROBABLY WOULD HAVE TO BE A ONE WAY ALLEY EVENTUALLY. THAT WOULD MEAN WE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN, I THINK, ALMOST ALL OF IT, EXCEPT FOR BEHIND KARIMI'S PROPERTY, WHICH IS ON THE CORNER OF POYDRAS PLAZA. SO WE'RE BASICALLY ASSEMBLING ALL OF THAT OVER TIME. OKAY, GREAT. ITEM 12, AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND RAMEL COMPANY FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR THE ANNEX REMODEL. ITEM 13

[00:10:05]

ITEM I REPORTS AND THAT'S IT FOR THE AGENDA. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO ITEM B, YOU WILL HAVE ONE EXECUTIVE SESSION. MAYOR. OH WE DO. YEP. SORRY ABOUT THAT. THANK YOU. ITEM B IS DISCUSS AND CONSIDER BEST PRACTICES AND POTENTIAL CODE UPDATES RELATED TO TREES AND TREE PRESERVATION. WE HAVE STACY AND I AND DOCTOR LAUREN FISHER, UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO TO PRESENT. ALL RIGHT. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, PARK AND TREE FANS. WE'RE JUST WANT TO BRING SOMETHING THAT WE HAD TALKED TO YOU ABOUT AT THE COUNCIL RETREAT AND KIND OF A FOLLOW UP TO WHAT YOU ALL HEARD AT OUR EARLIER TODAY WITH WITH THE URBAN WITH THE YOUTH ACTION COUNCIL ABOUT WHAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT WITH THE URBAN FORESTRY GRANTS THAT WE'VE GOTTEN FROM THE TEXAS FOREST SERVICE, AND REALLY LOOKING AT WAYS THAT WE CAN IMPROVE OUR CODE IN ORDER TO PROTECT OUR TREE CANOPY. SO REMEMBER, WHEN WE DID THE HEALTHY INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN, WE HAD A WE HAD A TREE STUDY, BUT WE MADE ALL OF THE UPDATES TO THE CURRENT UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE PRIOR TO THAT STUDY BEING DONE. SO WE LEARNED A LOT AT THE TAIL END OF THAT STUDY AND THROUGH SUBSEQUENT INSPECTIONS AND INVENTORIES AND STUDIES OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN OTHER COMMUNITIES AND HOW THEY'RE PROTECTING THEIR TREE CANOPY. SO WE WANT TO BRING SOME OF THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS FORWARD TO YOU TO CONSIDER, PERHAPS GOING FORWARD WITH SOME CHANGES AND SOME ALTERATIONS BASED ON BASED ON SOME BEST PRACTICES AND STUDIES THAT DOCTOR FISHER AND HER TEAM. BUT SHE STARTED IT WITH UNT, AND THEN SHE'S NOW AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO. SO WE'RE LUCKY THAT SHE RETURNED TO TEXAS TO COME GIVE US THIS PRESENTATION. AND THEN CHRIS CHASTAIN WILL GIVE YOU SOME UPDATES ON SOME RESIDENTIAL TREE PLANTING PROGRAMS THAT WE'VE PUT IN PLACE AS A RESULT OF SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I INTRODUCE DOCTOR LAUREN FISHER. I THINK YOU MIGHT BE AT THE END. I DIDN'T MEAN TO SAY THANK YOU AT THE END. SO IF YOU WANT TO PUT BACK UP AGAIN, WE GOT A MINUTE LEFT. WE'RE FINE AND THEN WE'RE DONE. ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH. NO. GREAT. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH. AND THANK YOU, STACY. I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS WHILE I WAS AT UNT AND JUST REALLY ENJOYED THE WORK. SO EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO FOLLOW UP TODAY. SO I'M GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE POLICY RESEARCH THAT WE DID, WHERE WE LOOKED AT MUNICIPAL ORDINANCES AND SORT OF COMPARED WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE REGION AND WHERE LEWISVILLE FELL. AND THEN CHRIS WILL GO AHEAD AND GIVE AN UPDATE AS TO HOW PARKS AND REC IS SORT OF GOING WITH THIS. AND THEN A QUESTION AND ANSWER OUR CURRENT POLICY RESEARCH. THIS IS OUR DRAFT PROPOSAL. SO WE'RE TURNING THIS INTO A MORE FINALIZED REPORT BY THE END OF MAY TO HELP CITY STAFF. SO ANY FEEDBACK OR QUESTIONS, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S DURING THIS PRESENTATION OR ANOTHER TIME, WE WOULD DEFINITELY BE OPEN TO. SO AS STACY MENTIONED EARLIER, THIS IS PART OF OUR FOREST GRANT THAT WE GOT FROM TEXAS A&M. WE HAD A COUPLE OF SORT OF GOALS THAT WE LAID OUT IN THAT, WHICH WAS TO LOOK AT MUNICIPAL ORDINANCES AND SORT OF SEE WHERE LEWISVILLE FELL, AS I SAID, ALSO IDENTIFY STRATEGIES BEYOND ORDINANCES THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL FOR ENCOURAGING INVESTMENT IN THE TREE CANOPY. AND THEN FINALLY, WE DID A SURVEY OF COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES TO SORT OF UNDERSTAND HOW COMMERCIAL, NOT RESIDENTIAL LAND MIGHT LANDOWNERS MIGHT HAVE A DIFFERENT FEEL HERE. SO I'M JUST REPRESENTING MY TEAM HERE. THEY ARE IN THE ROOM. ZACHARY ANDREWS AND CITY PARWAR ARE BOTH UNDERGRAD OR WERE WELL KNOW R FOR ANOTHER TWO DAYS. UNDERGRADS AT UNT, THEY'RE BOTH GRADUATING AND GOING ON TO GRADUATE SCHOOL. AND SO THEY'VE BEEN WORKING THIS YEAR ON THIS ON THIS PROJECT AND

[00:15:05]

SO THE FIRST THING WE DID WAS SORT OF WENT THROUGH THE HIP PLAN, LOOKED AT WHAT ANALYSIS HAD BEEN THERE IN TERMS OF GOALS. WE ALSO TALKED WITH PARKS AND REC AND STACY'S TEAM TO REALLY UNDERSTAND WHERE SOME CHALLENGES MIGHT BE IN THE ORDINANCE. SO WE'RE GOING TO COVER THESE DIFFERENT ORDINANCES OR REGULATIONS THAT ARE CURRENTLY ON THE BOOKS, AND THINK ABOUT HOW THEY RELATE TO OTHER ONES. WE'LL START WITH LOOKING AT THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT. SO WE'VE SPLIT THESE INTO EXISTING DEVELOPMENT AND THEN NEW OR REDEVELOPMENT.

NEW OR REDEVELOPMENT IS WHERE MOST OF THE ORDINANCES APPLY. BUT THIS EXISTING DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE IS ONE THAT IS POTENTIALLY GIVING SOME PAIN TO THE CITY. AND SO WHAT WE LOOKED AT HERE WAS THE CURRENT ORDINANCE STATES THAT REPLACING DEAD OR DAMAGED LANDSCAPING, COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE TO REPLACE IT WITH THEIR ORIGINAL LANDSCAPE PLAN. THIS IS A BIT OF A CHALLENGE BECAUSE SOME OF THESE LANDSCAPE PLANS ARE 20 OR 30 YEARS OLD AND ARE ASKING FOR US TO PLANT THINGS THAT TODAY WE WON'T NECESSARILY ENCOURAGE. AND SO A SIMPLE SORT OF CHANGE TO CONSIDER HERE WOULD BE INSTEAD OF HAVING ORIGINAL LANDSCAPE PLAN, THAT'S A TOUCH SCREEN I'LL MOVE UP. YEAH. RIGHT. BUT TO JUST REFERENCE THAT THE CITY HAS A SHRUB UNDERSTORY AND SHADE TREE LIST. AND SO JUST CHANGING THAT LANGUAGE, WHICH WE UNDERSTAND FROM PLANNING, IS ALREADY SORT OF BEST PRACTICE THAT THEY'RE PUSHED TOWARD THIS. BUT MAKING THE ORDINANCE CODIFY THAT PRACTICE. DO YOU WANT QUESTIONS HELD TO THE END OR HOWEVER, IS USEFUL FOR YOU GUYS? WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING FEEDBACK. YEAH. STACY WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO.

YEAH OKAY. SO ANOTHER QUESTION COMING BACK. SHE'S SHE'S MARIANA. SO CAN THIS CAN THIS BE MADE. THIS IS A QUESTION FOR THIS. CAN THIS BE MADE TO READ THE MORE AGGRESSIVE OF THE TWO.

BECAUSE IF YOU LET THE TREES DIE, WE DON'T CATCH YOU FOR TWO YEARS. AND WE HAVE MUCH MORE ROBUST TREE CANOPY REQUIREMENTS. NOW, I'D RATHER HAVE THEM PLANT TO TODAY'S STANDARDS, NOT THE STANDARDS FROM 1983. OKAY. THANK YOU. I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU. OKAY. SO MOVING ALONG TO ORDINANCES THAT RELATE TO NEW OR REDEVELOPMENT. SO WHEN THERE'S A MAJOR SORT OF CHANGE GOING ON TO THE STRUCTURE TO THE TO THE PLOT, WHAT ARE SOME ORDINANCE RULES THAT APPLY HERE? WE CAN SEE THE CITY HAS A REQUIREMENT THAT NEW AND REDEVELOPMENT CONDUCT A TREE SURVEY, AND THAT THEY DO IT FOR EACH TREE THAT IS EIGHT GB OR HIGHER. WE LOOKED ACROSS THE REGION AND SAW THAT THERE WAS QUITE A VARIETY IN TERMS OF WHAT WAS REQUIRED, WITH SOME COMMUNITIES REALLY SORT OF REQUIRING EVERY TREE AND OTHER CITIES HAVING DIFFERENT WAYS THEY DID IT. WHEN WE REFERENCE THE TREE CANOPY STUDY IN LEWISVILLE, THOUGH, WE KNOW THAT 60% OF THE CANOPY IS UNDER THAT SIX DB. AND SO WHEN WE'RE THINKING ABOUT, DO WE REALLY WANT A TREE SURVEY THAT ACTUALLY DOCUMENTS THE MAJORITY OF TREES IN LEWISVILLE, IT MIGHT BE WORTH CONSIDERING LOWERING THAT DEVIATION NUMBER POTENTIALLY, SO THAT YOU GET A TREE SURVEY THAT CAPTURES MORE OF THE TREES THAT CURRENTLY EXIST ON THE PLOT. SO SIMILARLY, SORT OF THINKING ABOUT REDEVELOPMENT WHEN TREES SORT OF GET GET, YOU KNOW, KNOCKED DOWN OR DISRUPTED AND WHAT ARE THE RULES HERE? WE DON'T HAVE ANY RECOMMENDATION FOR REPLACEMENT TREE. WE ACTUALLY FOUND THAT LEWISVILLE SHRUB AND UNDERSTORY LIST THAT IDENTIFIED NATIVE AND NON-NATIVE PLANTS AND WAS QUITE COMPREHENSIVE AND REALLY WELL DONE. SO WE JUST WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT THAT WE SHOULD MAYBE USE MORE REFERENCE TO THIS LIST IN THE ORDINANCES, SINCE IT IS IT IS VERY THOROUGH, BUT

[00:20:01]

THE WAY THAT GEORGETOWN DOES IT IS THAT IT'S A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL. SO IT'S SO IT'S A PRETTY HIGH BAR TO SORT OF GET GET A HERITAGE TREE ON THAT. OKAY. GOOD QUESTION. GOOD QUESTION. I DON'T I DON'T NEED JUDGMENT ON MY QUESTIONS I. BUT THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE A HERITAGE TREE DESIGNATION. SO THIS WAS A POTENTIAL NEW TOOL IN THE TOOLKIT IF YOU WANTED TO THINK ABOUT IT. AND SO EXPLORING THAT DESIGNATION MAYBE FOR SPECIFIC SPECIES, MAYBE FOR SPECIFIC SIZE, AND THEN THINKING ABOUT WHAT THAT PROCESS MIGHT BE, WHETHER IT IS SOMETHING THAT GOES THROUGH CITY COUNCIL OR MAYBE THE PARK BOARD HAS THIS, THIS POWER OR OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE GOT A LITTLE BIT DEEPLY INTO WAS TREE PRESERVATION CREDITS. SO WHEN YOU'RE UNDERGOING DEVELOPMENT OR REDEVELOPMENT AND TREES NEED TO BE REMOVED, THE ORDINANCE CURRENTLY GIVES YOU CREDIT OR SORT OF EXTRA POINTS FOR PRESERVING TREES, WHICH THEN ALLOWS YOU TO GET RID OF OTHER TREES. RIGHT? SO YOU CAN SORT OF THINK OF IT THAT WAY. THE CHALLENGE IN THE CURRENT TREE PRESERVATION. OH YEAH. NO, GO BACK REAL QUICK. SO YOU CAN SEE HERE WITH THE TREE PRESERVATION. THIS IS IN LEWISVILLE'S CODE RIGHT. THAT FOR POST OAKS AND BLACKJACKS LESS THAN EIGHT INCHES. IT'S A ONE INCH FOR ONE INCH PRESERVE FOR SORT OF HIGHER D.B.H FOR IT'S TWO INCHES FOR EVERY INCH PRESERVED. AND THIS SORT OF REGULATION IN THE MIDDLE HERE CREATES SOME CHALLENGES. IT IS NOT NECESSARILY GIVING US THE OUTCOME WE WANT. AND I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN JUST A SECOND. BUT WE DID WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW OTHER COMMUNITIES DO TREE PRESERVATION CREDITS. SO THIS IS LEWISVILLE. GO TO THE NEXT ONE PLEASE. OH SORRY. ONE MORE. NO. 00000. SOMETHING'S HAPPENING. GOING DOWN. ALL RIGHT. COME ON DOWN. YOU CAN SEE HOW OTHER COMMUNITIES DO IT. SO IN IRVING HAS MORE SORT OF A GRADING HERE WHERE YOU GET, YOU KNOW, MUCH MORE CREDITS FOR PRESERVING VERY LARGE TREES. SO AN OPTION TO THINK ABOUT OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT REALLY FOCUS ON SORT OF THE SPECIES AND NOT THE SIZE. SO TWO, TWO DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES. BUT YEAH. SO THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE WITH THE CURRENT ORDINANCE, AND THIS WAS IN CONSULTATION WITH TALKING WITH PLANNING AS WELL, IS THAT IN PRACTICE, THIS SORT OF PRESERVATION RULE IN THE MIDDLE HERE ACTUALLY INCENTIVIZES THE REMOVAL OF PROTECTED TREES. AND SO I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT ONE.

STACY. YEP. SO LET'S SAY WE HAVE A LOVELY PLOT OF LAND HERE. WE HAVE EIGHT LARGE POST OAKS. WE HAVE 4 OR 4 LARGE POST OAKS AND FOUR SMALL POST OAKS. IF WE WERE THEN TO THINK ABOUT HOW THIS WOULD WORK WITH THE TREE PRESERVATION CREDIT, GO TO NEXT ONE, RIGHT. WE CAN SEE HERE THAT WITH THE CURRENT SORT OF CREDIT SYSTEM, YOU CAN KEEP ONE TREE, BUT GET RID OF TWO. SO THE CREDITS THAT YOU EARN FROM KEEPING THAT ONE PROTECTED TREE ACTUALLY INCENTIVIZE YOU TO GET RID OF TWO TREES, WHICH IS NOT NECESSARILY, I THINK, WHAT THE GOAL OF THE PROTECTED TREE ORDINANCE WAS IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT ONE. SO SIMILARLY, RIGHT, IF YOU PRESERVE ONE LARGE, YOU COULD GET RID OF FOUR SMALL. AND THAT'S BECAUSE OF SORT OF HOW THIS CREDIT SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING. AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE COULD CONSIDER IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT ONE, ONE MORE, RIGHT, SOME COMMUNITIES ACTUALLY HAVE A SYSTEM WHEREBY THEY DO NEGATIVE TREE CREDITS.

SO IF YOU HAVE POSITIVE TREE CREDITS FOR PROTECTING CERTAIN THINGS, THEY ALSO SORT OF TAKE AWAY CREDITS. IF YOU DON'T PROTECT VERY LARGE TREES OR TREES THAT ARE REALLY IMPORTANT.

SO IF YOU SEE HERE IN THE EXAMPLE OF MURPHY AND THE EXAMPLE OF ALAN, FOR TREES THAT ARE VERY LARGE, RIGHT, YOU GET MULTIPLE NEGATIVE CREDITS AS A WAY TO SORT OF INCENTIVIZE THE PROTECTION OF THOSE LARGER TREES. GO TO THE NEXT ONE, STACY. RIGHT. SO IF WE WERE TO LOOK AT A NEGATIVE TREE CREDIT, AND THIS IS JUST USING THE EXAMPLE FROM ALAN, WE COULD SEE

[00:25:04]

TREE MITIGATION FEES WAS ANOTHER THING THAT WE LOOKED AT. SO THESE ARE FEES THAT YOU PAY IF YOU HAVE TO REMOVE A TREE. AND SO LEWISVILLE'S CURRENT FEE IS $150 PER CALIPER INCH FOR ALL TREES THAT ARE PROTECTED, SO THAT ARE OVER EIGHT INCHES D.B.H. THERE'S CURRENTLY NO ESCALATION IN THESE FEES FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF SPECIES OR FOR DIFFERENT SIZE TREES, AS WE DID SEE IN SOME OTHER COMMUNITIES. SO THE NEXT ONE. SO IF WE PUT LEWISVILLE SORT OF IN CONTEXT HERE WITH OTHER COMMUNITIES, WE CAN SEE THAT IT'S AT THE LOWER PART OF WHAT'S BEING CHARGED IN TERMS OF CALIPER FOR PROTECTED TREES, COMMUNITIES DO DEFINE THEIR TREES ALL QUITE DIFFERENTLY IN TERMS OF HOW THEY DO MITIGATION FEES. SO THAT TABLE ON THE FAR SIDE IS JUST COMPARING LEWISVILLE TO OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT MEASURE IT THE SAME WAY.

OVER HERE, IT GETS A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPLICATED TO SORT OF COMPARE TO. BUT AFTER TALKING WITH CITY AND FIGURING OUT SORT OF WHAT THE REPLACEMENT COSTS LOOKED LIKE, WERE CLOSER TO $200 A TREE. SO THINKING ABOUT WHETHER THAT $150 MITIGATION FEE IS REALLY ENOUGH TO MITIGATE THE REMOVAL OF TREES WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE CONSIDER LOOKING AT A LITTLE BIT MORE. I DID WANT TO MAKE A NOTE THAT EVEN WITH THIS RECOMMENDATION, WE ARE SUGGESTING THAT YOU KEEP WHAT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE, WHICH IS FOR DEVELOPERS TO PROVIDE A VALUE ESTIMATE AS OPPOSED TO GOING WITH THE CALIPER INCH. SO THERE IS THAT OTHER OUTLET. IF FOLKS THINK THAT THOSE COSTS ARE A LITTLE TOO EXPENSIVE, IS THAT IS THAT ALSO DESIGNED IF THERE'S A TREE THAT'S DISEASED IS MORE THAN JUST IS IT 12IN ACROSS OR WHATEVER, BUT THE TREE'S DISEASED. THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO TAKE THAT DOWN. YEAH, I THINK WE YEAH. THAT'S THAT'S BETTER DAMAGED. YEAH YEAH YEAH. SO THAT THAT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY FALL INTO HERE. THESE ARE FOR HEALTHY TREES. YEAH. YEP. SO THESE WERE THE DIFFERENT ORDINANCES THAT WE COVERED. REVISING THE COMMERCIAL LANDSCAPING ORDINANCE TO JUST SORT OF CODIFY EXISTING PRACTICES, REFERENCING TO DIFFERENT LISTS, THINKING ABOUT REVISING WHAT HAS TO GO INTO THE TREE SURVEY SO YOU HAVE BETTER DOCUMENTATION OF THE TREE CANOPY, THE HERITAGE TREE CLASSIFICATION, REEVALUATING THE TREE CREDIT SYSTEM LARGELY BY EXPLORING NEGATIVE CREDITS AND THEN INCREASING THE TREE MITIGATION FEE. SO THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT WE'RE WRITING UP IN A LONGER REPORT WITH MORE EXAMPLES, INCLUDING LANGUAGE FROM OTHER MUNICIPALITIES TO SORT OF HELP WITH DECISION MAKING GOING FORWARD. WE DID THEN RUN INTO A COUPLE THINGS THAT WERE SORT OF FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF A REACH FOR TODAY, BUT THINGS TO CONSIDER AS YOU GO INTO LEWISVILLE 2035 AND WHAT THAT PROCESS LOOKS LIKE. SO SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE SAW THAT WERE FAIRLY INNOVATIVE AROUND THE REGION WERE INSTEAD OF USING TREE CREDITS THAT GO BY D.B.H OR BY SPECIES, DALLAS AND FORT WORTH BOTH USE TREE CANOPY CREDITS. SO REALLY FOCUSING ON SORT OF THE CANOPY AS THE MAJOR OUTCOME THERE INSTEAD OF JUST THE TYPE OF TREE. THESE ARE FAIRLY NEW IN TERMS OF ADOPTION. YOU NEED REALLY GOOD DATA IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SORT OF JUSTIFY THIS. SO JUST SOMETHING WE'RE TELLING YOU TO SORT OF KEEP IN MIND AS WE GO FORWARD, ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT CAME UP WAS THINKING ABOUT ZONING AND ZONING OVERLAYS.

DALLAS IN 2019 ADOPTED WHAT'S CALLED A NEIGHBORHOOD FOREST OVERLAY. IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, I THINK WE HAVE SOME OF THAT. AND SO IN DALLAS'S CASE, THE FOREST OVERLAY IS SOMETHING BROUGHT FROM CITIZENS WHO WANT TO SORT OF PUT AN OVERLAY INTO THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD TO PRESERVE TREES. AS PART OF THE OVERLAY, THE COMMUNITY CAN PICK WHERE THEY WANT TO HAVE PROTECTED TREES, AND THEN THERE'S GRANTS AND SORT OF OTHER SUPPORT THAT GOES ALONG WITH THIS. SO A MAJOR SORT OF INNOVATION HERE. HAVEN'T SEEN THIS IN A LOT OF OTHER PLACES, PARTICULARLY WITH LIKE THE CITIZEN SORT OF BOTTOM UP APPROACH WITH IT, BUT SOMETHING TO KEEP YOUR EYE ON, PARTICULARLY IF IT TURNS OUT BEING PRETTY EFFECTIVE. IN DALLAS. WE ALSO LOOKED AT HOW OTHER COMMUNITIES ARE DOING SOME WATER IRRIGATION AND REBATE INCENTIVES. AND SO WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES IN THERE THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO THINK ABOUT TO INCENTIVIZE SWITCHING TO MORE LOW WATER OR BETTER WATER MANAGEMENT AMONG COMMERCIAL ACCOUNTS. SO THE NEXT ONE AND THEN WE JUST ASSEMBLED SOME INFORMATION ON DIFFERENT GRANT PROGRAMS. WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT ONE. AND EDUCATIONAL SORT OF OUTREACH THAT WE THOUGHT WAS REALLY INNOVATIVE. AND MAKING THAT AVAILABLE TO STACY AND HER TEAM AS THEY CONTINUE TO MOVE ALONG WITH IMPLEMENTING THE. YES. AND THEN WE DID WE TRIED TO DO A SURVEY OF COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OWNERS. WE WORKED WITH THE CHAMBER AND SORT OF SENT IT OUT. WE DID SOME DOOR TO DOOR CANVASING. HAVEN'T GOTTEN A LOT OF RESPONSES YET. SO WE DO HAVE THAT COMMERCIAL SURVEY PREPARED TO SORT OF UNDERSTAND HOW COMMERCIAL OWNERS MIGHT FEEL DIFFERENTLY ABOUT SORT OF

[00:30:02]

CLEARLY CLEARLY RIGHT. IT MEANS YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. IS THAT HOW THAT GOES. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. YEAH. SO YEAH. ALL RIGHT. AND I'LL TURN IT OVER TO CHRIS. ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. SO WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOME WAYS THAT WE PLAN TO ENGAGE AND REACH OUT TO RESIDENTS. AND SO FIRST OF ALL WOULD BE ESTABLISHING AN URBAN FORESTRY WEBSITE. WE PLAN TO DO THAT ON OUR WEBSITE. SO WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING THE PAST FEW MONTHS IS BENCHMARKING SOME DIFFERENT AGENCIES THAT WE DO THAT WE THINK DO A REALLY GOOD JOB OF THAT, AND INCLUDES SOME LOCAL NEIGHBORS LIKE FRISCO, FORT WORTH AND AUSTIN. BUT EVEN RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA DOES A REALLY GOOD JOB AND WITH THE GOAL OF THIS WEBSITE WOULD BE, WOULD BE TO EDUCATE RESIDENTS, TO GIVE THEM SOME RESOURCES AND SHARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON. SO THAT INCLUDES THE BENEFITS OF TREES, SPECIFICALLY WITH NATIVE TREES, INCLUDING THAT SPECIES LIST THAT WE'VE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB OF PROVIDING OUR MANAGEMENT PLANS AS THEY COME TOGETHER SO RESIDENTS CAN SEE THE WORK AND PLANNING THAT GOES INTO HOW WE'RE MANAGING OUR FOREST, PROVIDING INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS, THINGS OF HOW TO PICK OUT A GOOD TREE IF YOU'RE IN THE MARKET FOR ONE, HOW TO PLANT A TREE PROPERLY. THESE KINDS OF THINGS TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL EMPOWERED TO TAKE TREE CARE INTO THEIR OWN HANDS. AND THEN OF COURSE, THE CALENDAR OF EVENTS AS WE HAVE TREE PLANTINGS, CLEANUPS, THINGS RELATED TO ISSUES THAT PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY CAN BE INVOLVED.

SO AS I MENTIONED, WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS. WE'VE STARTED COLLECTING OUR OWN PERSONAL RESOURCES. WE HOPE BY NEXT MONDAY TO HAVE A DRAFT VERSION OF THIS WEBSITE READY FOR REVIEW BY OUR MARKETING TEAMS, AND HOPE TO GO LIVE BY THE END OF THE MONTH. IT WILL LIVE ON THE WEBSITE AS MENTIONED. AND THEN THE OTHER REALLY COOL THING THAT WE'RE WORKING ON ARE SOME RESIDENTIAL TREE PROGRAMS. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO ATTACK THAT FROM TWO DIFFERENT WAYS. ONE IS GOING TO BE UTILIZING THE PET PROGRAM OR PROPERTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM THAT'S ALREADY IN PLACE. AND THIS WOULD BE AN OPTION THAT'S AVAILABLE TO ALL RESIDENTS IN LEWISVILLE. AND THEN THE SECOND IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE'RE CALLING BRANCH OUT, WHICH WILL BE A MUCH MORE TARGETED PROGRAM. SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK THROUGH EACH ONE OF THOSE. THE PET PROGRAM. WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH ASHLEY BRYAN AND HER TEAM OVER AT NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES, AND SO I'M SURE EVERYONE IS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROGRAM, BUT IT DOES PROVIDE SOME REBATES TO IMPROVEMENTS TO YOUR HOME. ONE OF THOSE PROJECTS IS PLANTING A NEW TREE. AND SO REALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING AS AN URBAN FORESTRY TEAM IS WE JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THAT OPPORTUNITY IS AVAILABLE, BRING MORE NOTICE TO IT, AND REALLY EDUCATE RESIDENTS ON WHY NATIVE TREES ARE BENEFICIAL BOTH TO THE ENVIRONMENT, BUT ALSO TO YOU AS A HOMEOWNER. SO THAT'S WE'RE TRYING TO GROW OUR CANOPY, AND ESPECIALLY IN PRIVATE LAND WHERE WE DON'T OTHERWISE HAVE IT AVAILABLE. WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON SOME ENHANCED MARKETING AND RESOURCES. WE'RE GOING TO BE ROLLING OUT A SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN, A THREE WEEK CAMPAIGN THROUGH THE MONTH OF MAY. WE'RE GOING TO BE STARTING THAT NEXT WEEK AGAIN, EDUCATING ON THE BENEFIT OF NATIVE TREES, HOW THEY CAN IMPROVE YOUR PROPERTY AS A HOMEOWNER, AND THEN PROVIDING EDUCATION ON HOW TO PARTICIPATE AND SIGN UP IN THE PET PROGRAM, AND THEN MOVING ON TO BRANCH OUT. THE GOAL HERE IS STILL TO PRESERVE AND EXPAND OUR CANOPY. IT'S TO PROVIDE ENVIRONMENTAL EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY AND TO ENGAGE WITH OUR COMMUNITY. WE FIRST HEARD OF A PROGRAM CALLED TREE THAT THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO DOES, AND WE JUST THOUGHT IT WAS SO COOL. SO THIS IS KIND OF MODELED AFTER THAT APPROACH. THE WAY THIS PROGRAM WORKS IS THAT THE TREES ARE PROVIDED COMPLETELY FOR FREE TO THE RESIDENT. IF THEY DECIDE TO PARTICIPATE. WE'LL USE A VARIETY OF OUTREACH TOOLS TO LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THE PROGRAM AND GAIN INTEREST AND WORK WITH THEM TO GET A TREE ON THEIR PROPERTY. AND IT ALSO WILL INVOLVE ON SITE CONSULTATIONS SO THAT WE KNOW THEY ARE AWARE OF WHAT THEY'RE SIGNING UP FOR IN TERMS OF CARING FOR THE TREE, AND THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A GOOD, BENEFICIAL LOCATION WHERE A TREE CAN BE SUCCESSFUL. SO THE FIRST AREA THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS A NEIGHBORHOOD OVER IN NORTH EDMONDS. IT'S APPROXIMATELY 400 HOMES. THE REASON THIS LOCATION WAS SELECTED IS THAT IT HAS A TREE EQUITY SCORE OF 62. THAT NUMBER 62 PUTS US IN A HIGH NEED CATEGORY. IT ACTUALLY COMES OUT AS NUMBER 63 OUT OF 67 OF THE AREAS IN LEWISVILLE. SO PRETTY FAR DOWN THE LIST SHOWS A GREAT NEED THERE. THE TREE CANOPY COVERAGE IS ONLY 13% IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THAT DATA GETS LINED UP WITH CENSUS TRACT DATA THAT ILLUSTRATES THAT THESE PEOPLE NEED TREES LIKE YESTERDAY. AND ALSO IT CONTAINS CENTENNIAL DRIVE. SO THAT'S COOL THAT IT CAN BE OUR FIRST ONE IN OUR CENTENNIAL YEAR. PROGRAM LOGISTICS. SO THE WAY THIS WILL WORK IS THAT WE WILL SEND OUT MAILER POSTCARDS THAT WILL HAVE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THEY CAN LET US KNOW THAT THEY'RE INTERESTED. THAT WOULD EITHER BE ONE SCANNING A QR CODE AND FILLING OUT AN ONLINE SURVEY, OR A PHONE NUMBER WHERE THEY CAN CALL US IF THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO INTERNET OR AN INTERNET ENABLED DEVICE, WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THEM OVER THE PHONE AND MAKE SURE THEY STILL HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE AGAIN. AFTER WE GATHER THAT INTEREST, WE'LL DO ON SITE CONSULTATIONS, EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE WHAT THEIR DIFFERENT OPTIONS ARE, SEE THE LOCATION, MAKE SURE IT'S GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL, AND THEN EVENTUALLY LEAD THEM TO PURCHASING A TREE THAT WOULD BE INSTALLED BY A CONTRACTOR. THE FUNDING SOURCE FOR THIS PROGRAM WOULD COME FROM OUR EXISTING TREE MITIGATION FUNDS. SO THE TIMELINE ON THIS

[00:35:03]

YOU'RE SAYING THAT IF WE IF I HAD IF I WAS TAKING OUT 50 CALIPER INCHES AND I PUT IN WHAT I WAS REQUIRED TO AND THEN AN EXTRA 25, YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY YOUR FOR THE 50. YEAH, YOU STILL HAVE TO. OKAY. YES. I'VE SEEN I'VE SEEN OTHER ORDINANCES WRITTEN DIFFERENTLY WHERE YOU'RE ABLE TO GET SOME MITIGATION CREDITS IF YOU GO ABOVE AND BEYOND. YES, MA'AM. OKAY. SO THEY'RE HAVING TO REPLACE THE TREES AND PAY THE FEE. SO THEY IF THEY HAVE THEY TAKE DOWN TREES THAT ARE OVER EIGHT INCHES, THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR EVERY INCH. THAT'S TAKEN DOWN.

SO IS IT 150 FOR EVERY INCH? YES. SO THIS ALSO MAY BE SOMETHING THAT MAKES I MEAN, IF THAT FEE IS TOO HIGH PER INCH, THEN THAT COULD MAKE SOME PROPERTIES IN THIS CITY.

UNDEVELOPABLE. WELL, A COUPLE OF THINGS IS IT COST US ABOUT 200 PER INCH TO PLANT A NEW TREE. SO IF YOU WANT JUST REPLACEMENT FOR REPLACEMENT, WE'RE NOT WE ARE NOT GETTING THE VALUE OF WHAT WE WILL NEED TO PUT BACK IN ANOTHER PUBLIC, A PUBLIC SPACE OR SOMETHING ELSE FROM THE MITIGATION AT THIS POINT, BECAUSE OF OUR COST IS GOING UP. AND JUST REMEMBER, WE CAN ALSO I MEAN, IF THERE'S A SITUATION LIKE THAT, YOU CAN HAVE, YOU KNOW, WAIVERS OF FEES, I WILL SAY THAT WE DON'T. RIGHT. WE DON'T I MEAN, OUR STAFF'S POSITION HAS BEEN WE LIKE THAT'S THE LAST FEE WE WANT TO WAIVE BECAUSE WE KNOW THE COUNCIL'S PRIORITY IS TREES. BUT IF THERE'S A SITUATION WHERE A PROPERTY CANNOT BECOME IS UNDEVELOPABLE AT THAT POINT, I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD STILL PROBABLY LOOK. AND THIS GIVES US A WAY TO INCENTIVIZE KEEPING A BETTER STAND OF TREES VERSUS JUNK TREES. LET ME ASK THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE'VE TARGETED, DO WE KNOW THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD? AND THE REASON I ASK IS BECAUSE WE KNOW WE HAVE DIFFICULTY ENGAGING SOME SOME DEMOGRAPHICS WITH OTHERS. WE

[00:40:04]

IF IT'S HISPANIC, CAN WE GET OUR OUR FRIENDS TO TRY TO HELP TARGET THAT GROUP AND GET THEM MORE ENGAGED? YEAH, SURE. OKAY. OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS. THIS IS TIMELY. YOU AND I JUST DID A DRIVE OUT. I TOLD YOU I WASN'T REALLY PLANNING THIS BECAUSE OF YOUR QUESTION. I KNOW YOU WEREN'T THERE. THIS IS JUST GREAT. THIS IS. THERE'S NOTHING THAT MAKES A CITY FEEL MORE ESTABLISHED AND SOLID THAN A TREE CANOPY. WE'RE FORTUNATE WHERE WE LIVE. THERE'S A COUPLE OF STREETS THAT ARE 25 YEARS OLD, AND WE DRIVE DOWN TO THE STREETS IN THE FALL OR IN THE SPRING. IT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL. YOU JUST FEEL EVEN WHEN YOU GO OUT THROUGH MAIN, YOU HIT INTO FARMLANDS OF THE REALLY GOOD JOB OF THIS AND IT'S NOTICEABLE WHEN YOU CROSS OVER INTO THIS. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS. YEAH, MORE NEIGHBORHOODS TOO ARE LIKE THAT. IT'S JUST A COUPLE OF QUICK QUESTIONS. HOW DID WE REACH OUT TO FLOWER MOUND? I NOTICED WE DIDN'T HAVE DATA ON WHERE FLOWER MOUND WAS GOING TO ASK. YEAH, I DON'T I DON'T THINK FLOWER MOUND WAS IN OUR INITIAL 40 THAT WE SORT OF PUT TOGETHER. BUT IF THAT'S AN IMPORTANT COMPARATIVE, WE CAN DEFINITELY BRING THEM IN AND TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING. IT IS AND IT ISN'T. THEY HAVE AN INCREDIBLY STRUCTURED TREE MITIGATION. I MEAN, THEY'VE EVEN GOT A ONE OF THEIR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS IS TREE PRESERVATION. SO IT IS INCREDIBLY DETAILED OVER THERE.

I DON'T KNOW THOUGH, IF THAT'S NOT AS A WAY TO DETER DEVELOPMENT. AND SO THIS IS THE BALANCING ACT THAT I'VE GOT TO DEAL WITH IN MY HEAD IS I WANT A TREE CANOPY. I KNOW WHAT IT DOES FOR NEIGHBORHOODS. I ALSO KNOW THAT IT CAN BE USED AND TARGETED TO STOP DEVELOPMENT AND CREATE ISSUES LIKE WE'RE SEEING AT THE STATE HOUSE NOW FOR CITIES. SO I WANT TO BE COGNIZANT OF THAT LINE. FLOWER MOUND MAY BE AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION TO HAVE, JUST BECAUSE I KNOW THEY HAVE A VERY ROBUST SYSTEM, BUT AND MAYBE THEY'VE LEARNED SOME THINGS THAT ARE SIMILAR FOR US JUST BECAUSE WE'RE WE'RE CLOSE TO THE SAME TYPE OF LAND MASS. SO I LOVE THE NEGATIVE CREDITS AND POSITIVE CREDITS. I THINK THAT'S THAT'S A REAL CARROT AND STICK APPROACH TO THIS, WHICH I THINK MAKES A LOT OF SENSE AND GIVES A LOT MORE FLEXIBILITY TO KEEPING WHAT WE WANT TO KEEP.

THE HERITAGE TREE DESIGNATION CONCERNS ME BECAUSE IT'S A LOOSEY GOOSEY DEFINITION. AND, YOU KNOW, IF I DECIDE THAT THIS WE'RE JUST GOING TO KEEP THIS PARTICULAR TREE BECAUSE WE THINK IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY TREE IN THAT PART OF TOWN THAT'S I MEAN, THERE'S I GET THAT YOU GOT TO GET FOUR VOTES, BUT I'VE SEEN FOUR VOTES COME UP FOR CRAZIER STUFF THAN, THAN THAT. MAYBE WE JUST WANT TO KEEP A DEVELOPER OUT. SO WE'VE CREATED THIS ONE. HACKBERRY SITS OVER HERE AND WE'RE GOING TO GET IT'S NOT MONUMENTAL IN SIZE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT IT'S THE ONLY ONE. AND WE'RE GOING TO CREATE AN EXCUSE. SO I WORRY ABOUT THAT. IF IT WASN'T WELL DEFINED. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE. ALL RIGHT I BELIEVE THAT'S IT STAFF. IS THAT ALL WE HAVE? WE HAVE. YEAH. ON THIS PRESENTATION I THINK WITH THE STRS WE'RE LIKELY GOING TO HAVE TO COME BACK IN. YEAH. BECAUSE WE'RE DOWN TO 2.5 MINUTES. WE'RE NOT GOING TO IT'S NOT THAT'S REALLY SHORT TERM. SO DO WE WANT TO WE WANT TO OPEN AND THEN COME BACK IN THE SHORT TERM. IT'S YOUR DECISION COUNCIL. ARE WE OKAY WITH THAT. ALL RIGHT. SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND PAUSE THE WORKSHOP AND ALL RIGHT. IT IS 701. AND WE'RE GOING TO CALL THIS REGULAR

[A. Invocation - Council Member Brandon Jones]

[J. Return to Workshop Session if Necessary]

[00:45:08]

THERE WERE, THERE WERE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FROM CITY COUNCIL. AND SO I'LL, I'LL START OFF BY BY ADDRESSING THOSE. ONE QUESTION WAS CONCERNING, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS WHAT IS THE STANCE THAT APARTMENTS TAKE ON, ON DENSITY. AND SO WE HAD REACHED OUT TO APARTMENT ASSOCIATION OF GREATER DALLAS TO SEE IF THEY WOULD PROVIDE ANY SORT OF STANCE OR VIEWPOINT ON SHORT TERM RENTALS IN MULTIFAMILY. AND WE RECEIVED NO COMMENT ON ON THAT PARTICULAR REQUEST. BUT WE DID REACH OUT TO MANY OF OUR APARTMENTS HERE IN LEWISVILLE, ABOUT 12 OR 13 OF THEM. AND MOST OF THEM RESPONDED BACK, TALKING ABOUT HOW SHORT TERM RENTAL WOULD WOULD BE IN VIOLATION OF THE TERMS OF THE LEASE. ALSO, IF AN APARTMENT COMPLEX IS PROVIDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING, THAT THAT THAT COULD AFFECT IT UNITS THAT THEY'RE PROVIDING THAT ARE AFFORDABLE, OTHER RESPONSES WERE THEY WOULDN'T WANT TO ENTERTAIN SHORT TERM RENTALS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, GUEST VEHICLES NEED TO HAVE PERMITS. YOU KNOW, THEY WANT TO KNOW WHO THE PEOPLE ARE ON THE PROPERTY FOR SAFETY REASONS. SO AT THIS POINT IN TIME, YOU KNOW, THE APARTMENT COMPLEXES THAT WE REACHED OUT TO DIDN'T REALLY HAVE, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY THEY WEREN'T INTERESTED IN ENTERTAINING SHORT TERM RENTALS ON THEIR PROPERTY. AGAIN, CURRENTLY, WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING IN OUR ORDINANCE THAT WOULD PREVENT SHORT TERM RENTALS FROM COMING IN UNDER MULTIFAMILY. SO IT'S NOT SO MUCH THAT THEY'RE OPPOSED TO SHORT TERM RENTALS, BUT IT'S JUST REQUIRED THAT A SHADOW SUBLEASE, WHICH THEY'RE THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE OPPOSED TO. RIGHT? RIGHT. AND SO, YOU KNOW, THERE BASED ON OUR DISCUSSIONS WITH PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND LEWISVILLE, THERE, THERE AREN'T OWNERS THAT ARE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN GOING THE PATH OF SHORT TERM RENTALS. BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME LARGER CITIES, SAN ANTONIO, AUSTIN, WHERE, YOU KNOW, THAT IS A THING. THEY MAY EVEN HAVE AN ENTIRE CORPS THAT'S DEDICATED TO SHORT TERM RENTALS. YEAH. OKAY. THE OTHER QUESTION WAS RELATED TO INFORMATION THAT WE CAN RECEIVE FROM THE TEXAS COMPTROLLER REGARDING WHETHER OR NOT SHORT TERM RENTALS ARE CURRENT ON THEIR HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAXES. AND I REACHED OUT TO TODAY WITH WITH FINANCE TO TALK TO HIM A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ABOUT THAT. AND I WAS WONDERING MAYBE IF YOU'D BE ABLE TO KIND OF TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT YOU FOUND IN YOUR RESEARCH OF, OF GOING TO THE COMPTROLLER SITE. SURE. SO WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF DISCUSSIONS AMONG STAFF ABOUT WHERE WE CAN GET INFORMATION TO HELP SUPPORT WHAT'S BEING REMITTED TO THE CITY AS IT RELATES TO THE SHORT TERM RENTAL AND THE REMITTANCES. SO AFTER A DISCUSSION EARLIER, WENT TO TEXAS COMPTROLLERS, AND THERE'S JUST A NUMBER OF DATA DOWNLOADS THAT YOU CAN GET RELATED TO IT. SO WE CAN GET HISTORICAL INFORMATION. WE CAN THEN TAKE THAT INFORMATION, DOWNLOAD IT, CROSS-REFERENCE IT AGAINST THE INFORMATION THAT WE ALREADY HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE AMOUNTS THAT ARE BEING REMITTED TO THE CITY ARE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT'S BEING REMITTED TO THE STATE, AND THAT'S JUST ANOTHER WAY THAT WE CAN CROSS CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE GOT COMPLIANCE. AND JENNIFER, IF YOU GO TO SLIDE 14. THERE WAS THERE WAS ONE SLIDE IN HERE THAT I, THAT I UPDATED.

WITH SOME INFORMATION. WE HAD WE HAD SOME DISCUSSION ON HOW MANY SHORT TERM RENTALS WOULD BE IN LEWISVILLE IF WE WERE LOOKING AT LINEAR DISTANCE FROM A PERMITTED SHORT TERM RENTAL TO THE NEXT, AND LOOKING AT THE CALCULATIONS, I REMOVED THE AREA OF LAKE LEWISVILLE, I REMOVED CASTLE HILLS, I REMOVED LEILA TO COME UP WITH THESE NUMBERS, BUT IF AND THIS WOULD BE THE MAXIMUM

[00:50:04]

CORRECT. OKAY. AND THEN IS THERE A PERCENTAGE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. IS THERE A PERCENTAGE I'M LOOKING AT. YEAH. NO I'M JUST TRYING TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT THAT IS. SO A THOUSAND MAKES IT 4%. YES. AND JUST SO JUST CHRIS GAVE ME SOME INFORMATION TODAY THAT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU GUYS HAD TO. SO WE HAD PUT THE MAXIMUM LIMIT TO 130 AND WE'VE ALREADY HIT 130. IS THAT.

NO, WE'RE NOT QUITE AT 130 AS OF RIGHT NOW. WE'RE AT WE'RE AT 90 ACTIVE PERMITS. SORRY, 98 ACTIVE PERMITS, 15 APPLICATIONS FOR A TOTAL OF 113. ARE ANY OF THOSE STARS THAT HAVE GONE OFF AND HAD TO COME BACK AND BE STARS AGAIN? DO WE KNOW AT AT THIS POINT THEIR PERMITS ARE GOOD FOR A YEAR, AND THEN WHEN THEY COME TIME FOR RENEWAL, THEN WE'LL SEE IF THEY REAPPLY. BUT WE HAVEN'T BEEN TO THAT POINT. THAT'S WHAT I WAS ASKING, WAS THAT WE HAD WE HAD SOME PEOPLE THAT JUST OPTED OUT OF THE PROCESS ALTOGETHER TO LONG TERM. IF ANY OF THESE 15 THAT WE KNOW OF ARE THEY DID THEY COME BACK AND SAY, OH, IT'S OPEN SEASON AGAIN? SO DURING THE INTERIM. PROHIBITION ON SHORT TERM RENTALS, WE HAD ABOUT 30. YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY, THEY STOPPED ADVERTISING OR THEY SET THEIR LISTING TO GREATER THAN 30 DAYS. WE HAD A LOT OF THOSE COME BACK THROUGH THE APPLICATION PROCESS WHICH, WHICH WE'VE NOW PERMITTED. OKAY. HOW DO WE KEEP UP WITH THOSE THAT ARE, THAT ARE LIKE SELLING THE HOUSE? BECAUSE I KNOW I'M CLEAR. IS IT CLEAR TO YOU WHERE THE ONE OF THOSE IS SELLING? YEAH. SO THEY'RE ON OUR LIST. WE'VE, WE'VE I DON'T KNOW ON THAT PARTICULAR ONE. YOU KNOW, IF WE, IF WE PERMITTED IT. BUT YOU KNOW, BASICALLY WE'LL, WE'LL LOOK AT THOSE TO SEE IF THEY'RE STILL ACTIVE BUT THEIR PERMIT STILL STAYS GOOD FOR THAT YEAR. AND THEN WE'LL MAKE THAT DETERMINATION ON. SO IS THAT PERMIT GOING TO FOLLOW THE PROPERTY. SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO RENEW AT THE POINT OF RENEWAL. YEAH. IF THE CURRENT OWNER IS NO LONGER BEING A SHORT TERM RENTAL THEN THAT PERMIT WOULD DROP OFF ON EITHER. SO IF WE'RE STICKING WITH THE 130 MAX AND SOMEONE ELSE COULD COME IN, IF SOMEONE PURCHASES THE PROPERTY AND WANTS TO OPERATE AS A SHORT TERM RENTAL IN THAT PROPERTY, THEY WOULD HAVE TO GAIN A NEW PERMIT PER THE ORDINANCE. SO ARE YOU DOWN TO ONE NOW? BECAUSE I THOUGHT ONE HAD ALREADY SOLD THEN. AND THEN ANOTHER ONE IS WE HAVE THREE, BUT THAT THIRD ONE THAT'S FOR SALE NOW BECAME A LONG TERM RENTAL. RIGHT. AND IT JUST RECENTLY CAME UP. SO WE'RE WE'RE AT TWO PERMITTED AND TWO EXISTING. WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY OWNERS THAT HAD A PERMIT FOR AN STR COME TO US AND SAY, HEY, I'M NOT GOING TO BE DOING AN STR ANYMORE. SO WE'LL HAVE TO EVALUATE THOSE WHEN THEY COME UP FOR RENEWAL TO SEE IF THEY'RE STILL ADVERTISING. SO JENNIFER, I WANTED TO GO TO BACK TO THAT FINAL SLIDE, THAT SLIDE 19. SO, CLAIRE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KIND OF WANTED TO. YEAH, I CAN GO THROUGH THIS, BUT I WANTED TO FIRST START ON THAT MULTIFAMILY UNIT LIMITATION BECAUSE WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT MULTIFAMILY. SO IF WE HAD PUT WE HAD KNOWN THAT OTHER CITIES THAT ARE DOING MULTIFAMILY AND ALLOWING THEM, THEY HAVE SOME THEY USUALLY SET SOME TYPE OF LIMIT TO THEM. MY QUESTION IS

[00:55:01]

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

[01:00:03]

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO REEVALUATE THIS ON ON A, I DON'T WANT TO SAY ALL THE TIME BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT TO YOU GUYS. BUT I THINK LET'S TALK PERCENTAGE NOW. WE CAN TALK PERCENTAGE. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO REEVALUATE THAT BASED ON, YOU KNOW, IF WE PICK A PERCENTAGE, LET'S COME BACK AND SAY, I THINK AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME AND SAY, HOW IS THAT GOING? BUT I ALSO THINK THAT STAFF WILL COME TO US AND SAY, HEY, THIS IS TOO MUCH WORKLOAD. YEAH. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO GET REQUESTS FOR FTES AND ALL THAT. AND IF WE PICK A NUMBER, I MEAN, WE'RE ALREADY I'M ALREADY BEING TOLD THAT AT 130, WE'RE WE'RE PUSHING STAFF'S CAPACITY. WE'RE GOING TO END UP WITH A HOLE. WE'RE GOING TO END UP WITH AN ENTIRE DEPARTMENT THAT DOES NOTHING BUT STR. BUT I THINK THAT'S OUR REGULATOR, RIGHT? IS THAT STAFF WOULD BE COMING BACK AND SAYING, HEY, THIS IS THE BURDEN. AND THAT'S WHEN STAFF WHEN COUNSEL WOULD COME BACK AND SAY, OKAY, WELL DO WE WANT TO THROTTLE UP OR THROTTLE DOWN BASED ON BASED ON WHAT WE'RE SEEING FROM STAFF FEEDBACK? AND WE SHOULD BE SEEING IF, IF, IF IT'S GOING UP, THEN THERE'S MORE WORKLOAD THAN THEORETICALLY SPEAKING, THERE'S MORE TAX DOLLARS BEING BROUGHT IN TO HELP MAYBE COVER THAT COST. I DO I DO WANT TO PUSH ON ONE THING THOUGH, AND THAT IS I DO DISAGREE. THE FUNDAMENTAL IS THAT THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN APARTMENTS AND GETTING MORE DATA FOR APARTMENTS AND HOMEOWNERS, BECAUSE THERE'S A REGULAR RIGHT NOW FOR APARTMENTS, THE REGULAR APARTMENTS AND THE APARTMENT OWNERS, WE DON'T WANT IT. THERE IS NO REGULATOR OTHER THAN US FOR INDIVIDUAL HOMES. SO I DO THINK THERE'S A VERY DIFFERENT. WELL, I WAS THINKING CITYWIDE, NOT JUST THIS IS WHY I DON'T WANT TO JUST LET THE DATA AND THE ECONOMICS DICTATE THIS, BECAUSE THE REASON WHY IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL APARTMENTS IS BECAUSE THERE'S A REGULATOR ON THAT, AND THAT'S THE OWNERS OF THE APARTMENTS. SO DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? IS IT YOU'RE LOOKING AT ME LIKE, YEAH. AND I'M TRYING TO I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. SO I THINK WHAT I HEARD YOU SAY WAS THAT YOU WANT TO COLLECT MORE DATA BECAUSE IT'S NOT AN ISSUE RIGHT NOW AS A WHOLE. NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID. OKAY, OKAY. WHAT'S A REEVALUATE? I'M SAYING THAT I THINK WE NEED TO SET SOME. I FEEL LIKE WE'RE WE'RE HAVING TO MAKE SOME ASSUMPTIONS ON WHAT THE DEMAND IS AND REALLY WHAT'S APPROPRIATE FOR OUR COMMUNITY RIGHT NOW. WHAT, WHAT. BUT I THINK IF WE CONTINUE TO EVALUATE THE DATA, WE CAN REALLY START TO HONE IN ON WHAT WHAT IS RIGHT FOR US WITH OUR WORKLOAD, WITH THE NUISANCE THAT IS CAUSED BY IT. ARE WE HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS THAT WE'RE SEEING THAT ARE COMING TO US? IS EVERYBODY KIND OF OKAY WHERE THINGS ARE STANDING? I GUESS WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT I DON'T WANT TO I DON'T WANT TO BE TOO RIGID NOW AND PREVENT SOME PEOPLE FROM, YOU KNOW, GOOD ACTORS FROM BEING ABLE TO DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO WITH THEIR PROPERTY. BUT I ALSO, YOU KNOW, DON'T WANT TO JUST LET WAY TOO MANY COME IN AT ONCE, EITHER. FOR MANY HOST OF REASONS. SO I JUST WANT THE OPPORTUNITY TO I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO MAKE THIS DECISION NOW.

AND THAT IS IT. IT IS SET. SET IN STONE. YEAH. OKAY. THAT'S WHAT MY POINT IS. SO I HEAR YOU, I WOULD ASSERT THAT IN MY HOUSE, TWO WOULD BE TOO MANY PEOPLE ON EITHER SIDE. SO I DON'T THINK I DON'T THINK LOOKING AT THIS AS A NUMBER AND SAYING, IS IT TOO MUCH OR TOO LITTLE BASED ON GOOD ACTORS OR BAD ACTORS? I'M SAYING, DO I WANT TO LIVE BY 2 OR 3 STARS MYSELF? BUT YOU WON'T BECAUSE YOU HAVE A HOMEOWNERS WHETHER OR NOT THEY WELL, FIRST OFF, THAT'S ACADEMIC BECAUSE WHETHER THEY ENFORCE IT OR NOT, WE'VE ALREADY HAD PROBLEMS IN ENFORCING THIS SORT OF THING OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. SO I DON'T WANT TO COUNT ON THE HOA TO ENFORCE THIS STUFF. WE HAVE A DUPLEX IN OUR IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. HOA SAYS YOU CAN'T HAVE A DUPLEX. SOMEBODY GET RID OF THEIR HOUSE TO DUPLEX. SO YEAH. SO THIS HAS HAPPENED. SO I DON'T COUNT ON THE HOA TO ACTUALLY ENFORCE THIS KIND OF STUFF. SO I TAKE THAT OFF THE TABLE. BUT REGARDLESS THE NUMBER WHAT IS TOO MUCH I VIEW THAT AS AT THE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL, AT THE CITY LEVEL. SO WHAT IS WHAT DID WE REACH OUT TO

[01:05:03]

ANYBODY. WE'RE GOING IN CIRCLES. I MEAN, TO ME, I FEEL LIKE WITH TRYING TO I THINK WE'RE CLOSE.

IT'S JUST KIND OF LOOKING AT BOTH SIDES OF THE SAME COIN. SO TO ME IT FEELS LIKE WE WANT TO WE MAY WANT TO REVISIT THIS, BUT I WOULD SAY LET'S CRAWL BEFORE WE RUN OR WALK BEFORE WE RUN, SO THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT A HIGHER LEVEL OF SPACING. WE HAVE A CAP ON IT AND THEN WE WHATEVER THAT CAP IS REASONABLE FOR YOU GUYS, AND THEN WE SEE WHERE WE ARE. I MEAN, RIGHT NOW CHRIS IS SAYING, I THOUGHT WE WERE AT 130. WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT EVEN AT 130 YET. MAYBE WE'RE THE SWEET SPOT AT THIS POINT. IT'S NOT WHEN WE SET THAT 130. WE'RE STILL RIGHT THERE AROUND WHERE WE WERE. SO WE REALLY HAVEN'T GROWN. WELL, WE'VE ADDED, I THINK LAST TIME I TALKED TO COUNCIL BEFORE THIS LAST PRESENTATION, WE WERE AT 77. AND SO NOW SINCE SINCE THE PROHIBITION AT THE BAN HAD OPENED, THE I THINK WE ADDED WHAT WE WERE AT 94, YOU KNOW, DURING THAT TIME PERIOD. SO I THINK TO KIND OF PUT A BOW ON THIS, I THINK WE'VE KIND OF PUT A BUNCH OF THINGS OUT THERE.

STAFF IS LOOKING TO SEE IF WE HAVE AN INTEREST IN PURSUING SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS. SO I'M JUST GOING TO KIND OF WALK THROUGH THESE. FIRST IS DO WE WANT TO HAVE A BLOCK FACE LIMITATION AND OR A DISTANCE LIMITATION. WHAT IF WE JUST BLOCK FACE. WHAT DO WE KNOW WHAT THAT NUMBER IS. THAT ONE'S MUCH MORE COMPLICATED. YEAH VERY COMPLICATED BECAUSE IT DEPENDS ON THE BLOCK SIZE. AND EVERY BLOCK IS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT. SO I CAN'T GIVE YOU AN ESTIMATE ON THAT. BUT I THINK I'D RATHER HAVE A DISTANCE. I BACKED AWAY FROM BLOCK BASE JUST BECAUSE I THINK IT'S COMPLICATED TO. AND IF IT'S DIFFICULT FOR STAFF TO CALCULATE ALL OF THAT AND FIGURE ALL THAT OUT, THEN IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY CONFUSING FOR PEOPLE TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE ELIGIBLE TO HAVE ONE OR NOT, AND I DON'T WANT THAT THE OTHER WAY. THE DISTANCE IS, IS MUCH MORE CLEAR. YES. FRONT DOOR TO SO DO WE HAVE WE HAVE CONSENSUS THAT WE DON'T WANT STAFF TO KEEP RESEARCHING BLOCK FACE. OKAY. THAT SOUNDS LIKE OKAY. SO THEN THE NEXT ONE WOULD BE LOOKING AT STR DISTANCE REQUIREMENT. I'VE ALREADY HEARD SEVERAL FOLKS SAY THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH DISTANCE. I THINK THE QUESTION IS DO WE HAVE SOMETHING 500 OR 1000 OR SOME OTHER DISTANCE THAT PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN? HIT IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT. I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION, BECAUSE YOU BROUGHT UP A REALLY GOOD POINT, IS THAT DISTANCE FROM PROPERTY LINE TO PROPERTY LINE OR PROPERTY LAW, MIDDLE OF THE PROPERTY, MIDDLE OF PROPERTY, PROPERTY LINE OR PROPERTY. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANYBODY HAVE PREFERENCES OF WHAT THAT NUMBER LOOKS LIKE? WE KNOW WE KNOW THAT THE THOUSAND GETS US 3% OF OUR CITY. WE KNOW THAT 500 GETS US 12% OF OUR CITY. I LIKE THE THOUSAND. I LIKE THOUSAND. SO IF YOU HAVE MY ONLY QUESTION WITH THAT IS THAT IF YOU HAVE WITH THE CURRENT STR THAT WE HAVE REGISTERED, ARE THERE ANY THAT ARE GOING TO GET KICKED OUT BECAUSE OF THAT REQUIREMENT? SO THEY'D BE GRANDFATHERED IN THE ONES THAT GRANDFATHERED IN AS LONG AS THEY RENEW THEIR PERMIT EACH YEAR? YEAH. SO IF THEY MESS UP AND MISS A YEAR THEN THEY'RE OUT. IF THEIR PERMIT EXPIRES. BUT BUT BASICALLY WE WOULD HAVE TO TRACK THOSE CURRENTLY PERMITTED SEPARATELY TO IDENTIFY THAT THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAVE TO MEET THE DENSITY REQUIREMENTS. OKAY, OKAY. I THINK YOU'VE GOT CONSENSUS ON THAT. IS THERE AN INTEREST IN A LIMITATION ON MULTIFAMILY? IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS JUST TO BE PREVENTATIVE CARE AT THIS POINT. WHY NOT SET IT WITH AS LOW AS POSSIBLE? WE COULD DO 1%. I'M SORRY, WHAT WAS THE WHAT WAS THE NUMBER FOR THE GOING BACK TO THE DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE THOUSAND. WHAT WAS THAT 800 SOMETHING? 871 841 841 SO WHAT PERCENTAGE IS THAT? IT'S 3%.

THAT'S 3%. YEAH. 961 WITH CASTLE HILL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. YEAH, IT'S PROBABLY STILL ABOUT 3%. COULD YOU PUT MORE HOUSE? THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING YOU WHAT NUMBER WERE YOU TRYING TO GET? WELL, I'M, I'M GETTING TRYING TO GET AROUND FIVE. IN MY LOGIC, I'M IN MY BRAIN. I'M THINKING, OKAY, WELL WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW 3% OF THIS ONE. WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW 3% OF THIS ONE. OH, YOU MEAN FOR MULTIFAMILY? YEAH. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I WAS TRYING TO CONSIDER IN MY HEAD. YEAH.

OKAY. I'VE GOT I'VE GOT A 3% FOR 3%. I'VE GOT A 1%. I THINK WHICHEVER ONE STAFF CAN I MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE TO REALLY WORRY ABOUT IT, BUT I MEAN I WOULD GO AS LOW AS POSSIBLE AND THEN WE CAN BUILD UP. NOTHING IS PERMANENT. AND IF WE FIND IF WE FIND A RATIONALE TO INCREASE IT.

[01:10:01]

OUTSIDE OF OUTSIDE OF THAT IN TEXAS, AUSTIN IS DOING 3%, ROCKWALL IS DOING FIVE. SAN ANTONIO, US IS 12.5%. SO I'M HEARING I'M HEARING AT LEAST OTHERS WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS. THAT 3% SEEMS TO BE AN ACCEPTABLE NUMBER. I'M NOT HEARING ANYBODY GOING LOWER THAN THAT. I MEAN, WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE WANT. YEAH, BECAUSE WE AREN'T THEM. BUT I LIKE I LIKE PINGING OFF PEOPLE JUST TO SEE MY CONCERN IS MY CONCERN IS, OKAY, LET'S SAY THE MARKET CHANGES AND I'M GETTING SWAMPED. AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I GOT TO PUT FIVE NEW FTES IN. THAT'S THAT'S MY BIGGER CONCERN. OKAY. BUT HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET WE'LL GET SOME UPDATE. WE'LL GET A FEEL FOR WHAT'S GOING ON. RIGHT, RIGHT. SO WE'LL KNOW I'LL CALL UNCLE AT THAT POINT. OKAY. WELL LET'S, LET'S, LET'S LOOK AT ONE AND 3%. I THINK THAT'LL COVER ONE AND 3%. YEAH. HE DIDN'T LIKE MY POINT FIVE I LIKE IT I LIKE MY POINT. HOW MANY WANT TO GO FOR 1.5. COME ON. YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO KEEP HER FROM. I'LL JUST MAKE IT EASY. ARE WE OKAY WITH THE CURRENT 130 LIMIT? I DON'T THINK WE NEED A LIMIT. NOT IF WE'RE GOING TO PUT A DISTANCE REQUIREMENT IN. DO WE NEED A LIMIT? I WOULD LIKE TO PUT A LIMIT. WHAT'S THE POINT OF DOING A DISTANCE REQUIREMENT THEN IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IT. BECAUSE I DON'T WANT BECAUSE WHEN WE DISCUSSED DOING THIS AND THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I WAS AFRAID OF DOING THIS LIMITS. BECAUSE WHEN WE DISCUSSED DOING THIS, IT WAS DISCUSSED UNDER THE PREMISE THAT WE WOULD GET THE DISTANCE STUFF ALL STRAIGHTENED OUT. I WAS REALLY CLEAR. AND IT WAS A TEMPORARY LIMIT. YEAH, IT'S TEMPORARY BECAUSE WE NEEDED A GAP. WE NEEDED SOMETHING RESOLUTION. BUT NOW THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE GET THE GAP. WE HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO PUT THAT TEMPORARY. I'M NOT ARGUING WITH YOU ABOUT THAT, BUT IT WAS A GAP. THAT'S RIGHT. UNTIL WE GOT THE OTHER IN PLACE, IT WAS A GAP. NOT TO SAY WE'LL NEVER DO IT AGAIN. IT WAS A GAP BECAUSE WE NEEDED SOMETHING AT THAT POINT IN TIME. AND THAT WAS REALLY CLEAR. WE HAD THAT CONVERSATION. I'M NOT COMMITTING TO BE CLEAR. I'M NOT COMMITTING TO NOT GOING. I'M NOT COMMITTING TO REMOVING THAT. AT THE END OF THIS, I WAS I ACTUALLY MADE THAT A POINT TO SAY THAT BECAUSE. RIGHT. BUT IT'S GOING TO TAKE ALL OF US, I UNDERSTAND. OKAY.

SO. I'M SEEING A COUPLE OF FOLKS THAT WANT TO CONTINUE TO, TO KEEP A LIMIT IN PLACE, WHETHER IT'S 130 OR A DIFFERENT NUMBER. I'VE GOT CONSENSUS ON, I, I DON'T THINK WE NEED IT. OKAY.

WELL GIVE ME A. GIVE ME A 150 AND A AND A NONE AND WE'LL SEE WHERE WE GO FROM THERE. DO YOU WANT ON ON 150 OR NO LIMIT. BASICALLY. YEAH. 150 OR NO LIMIT. SO WE'RE BRINGING BACK AN ORDINANCE WITH A 150 LIMIT. OR WE'RE BRINGING BACK AN ORDINANCE WITH NO LIMIT. HE'S WEARING AN OFF. SHE'S WANTING SINCE I CAN'T SINCE I CAN'T VOTE ON IT AND I HAVE A SPLIT I HAVE A SPLIT CONVERSATION HERE. OKAY. WELL, NOW SPLIT IS IT THOUGH I CAN GO I CAN LIVE 150. CAN YOU LIVE WITH 150, 150? I GOT AT LEAST I CAN DO 150. I GOT AT LEAST. THEN WHY DO ALL OF THIS OTHER STUFF TO KEEP THEM FROM CLUSTERING IN A PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD? YEAH, IF WE HAVE A LIMIT IN A TOTAL CITY OF 134,000 136,000 PEOPLE, 150 SHORT TERM RENTALS, THAT'S HALF A PERCENT. SO WHY DO WE NEED TO EVEN MESS WITH ALL THIS OTHER STUFF? BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT ALL OF THEM TO BE ON YOUR STREET OR ON A LAKE OR OR ALL OF THEM TO BE IN THE LAKE NEIGHBORHOODS, OR ALL OF THEM TO BE TAKEN OUT HOUSES HERE IN OLD TOWN. OH, I UNDERSTAND THAT. THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT IT UP.

YEAH. HOWEVER LONG AGO. BUT. SO IF YOU'VE GOT IT. SO YOUR POINT IS, IF YOU'VE GOT A DISTANCE REQUIREMENT, IT'S GOING TO CUT IT WAY DOWN, THEN THAT'S FINE. THAT THAT'S ENOUGH. THAT'S ENOUGH FOR YOU TO, TO KEEP THAT THING FROM HAPPENING. AND YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE THE CAP.

YEAH. BECAUSE IF UNDER THIS MY UNDERSTANDING, HER UNDERSTANDING THAT WE, WE WENT INTO THIS TO SET A DISTANCE, IT WAS TO GET ALL OF THIS PLAY, ALL OF THIS IN PLACE SO THAT WE DID NOT HAVE THE INFLUX. WE WERE USING ONE AS A STOPGAP UNTIL WE GOT THE OTHER. NOT LIKE THE TOLL ROADS WHERE THEY GOT IN THERE. AND SO THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO LEAVE. SO IF WE DIDN'T PUT THAT STOPGAP IN PLACE, I DIDN'T. I'M NOT SAYING IT WAS NOT NEEDED. I GET IT. IT'S JUST IT'S THE TWO DIFFERENT WAYS TO LOOK AT IT. YEAH. IT'S I'M NOT SAYING IT WAS NOT NEEDED. I'M SAYING THAT BECAUSE ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S HERE. AND IT WAS NOT AN UNDERSTANDING THAT WE'RE GOING TO VOTE ON THIS CAP.

[01:15:03]

ALL RIGHT. AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS ARE YOU GUYS COMFORTABLE WITH THE MULTIFAMILY. ANY STR AND MULTIFAMILY COUNTING TOWARDS THE TOTAL OR NOT. SO I THINK IN MOST, MOST CITIES IT'S SEPARATE.

YEAH. THEY LOOK AT MULTIFAMILY AND THEY LOOK AT PERCENTAGE. AND THAT WOULD BE I THINK ALL I HAVE. YOU ALL HEARD ONE ISSUE FROM ANYBODY IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX THAT ARE HAVING ISSUES BECAUSE THEY HAVE ISSUES ALL THE TIME. YEAH, I DON'T KNOW THAT WOULD CAUSE ANY MORE ISSUES THAN ANY OTHER ONE THAT CURRENTLY HAS. SO I THINK WE CAN BRING THAT BACK. I THINK THAT'S A PREVENTATIVE ISSUE. I THINK TO BRANDON'S POINT, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS SOMETHING THAT REALLY HASN'T HAPPENED YET. BUT TO BRANDON'S POINT, WE'RE ALSO BEHIND THE CURVE ON SINGLE FAMILY STRS. YES, ON A SECOND. ARE WE DONE? I THINK YOU'VE GOT ALL YOU NEED, CHRIS. JUST NEXT STEPS. THAT'S KIND OF LIKE THE TIMELINE OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS LOOKING AT THAT. AND I KNOW THERE'S SOME THERE'S SOME THINGS WHERE IT HAS TO GO THROUGH PNC. SO WE HAVE THAT TIMELINE BEFORE CITY COUNCIL. SO OKAY. AWESOME. LIZ DID YOU WANT TO CLOSE. YEAH. WANT TO TAKE YOU INTO CLOSE UNDER TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 551.071 CONSTITUTION. WE HAVE TO GO BACK OUTSIDE. NO, NO, WE DO THAT FROM HERE. BUT WE JUST ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PATIENCE. THIS MEETING IS CHOCK A BLOCK WITH GREAT MUNICIPAL CONVERSATIONS. SO

[C. Proclamations/Recognitions]

IT'S A COMBO MOVE. ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAVE A FEW THINGS TO RECOGNIZE THIS WEEK AS FAR AS OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT GOES. SO I'M GOING TO DO A FEW WHEREASES. AND YOU ALL CAN APPLAUD WHERE APPROPRIATE OR SAY WHEREAS IF YOU FEEL SO COMPELLED KIND OF LIKE CHURCH, THAT'S THE BEST I GOT HERE. SO HERE WE GO. WHEREAS THERE ARE MORE THAN 1.280.

SO BRANDON, YOU KNOW, WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER ACTUALLY, BEFORE I EVEN GOT ON COUNCIL, WE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS BEFORE AND I TRIED REALLY HARD TO THINK ABOUT AN APPROPRIATE STORY THAT I COULD TELL.

WE'VE ALWAYS YOU'VE BEEN MY GO TO WHEN I HAVE TO HAVE HARD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THINGS YOU'VE NEVER SHIED AWAY. WE'VE HAD SOME GREAT I'M GOING TO MISS YOU.

HE GOT ON COUNCIL AUTOMATICALLY, BUT I STILL KID HIM A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE I'M ONLY ONE. ACTUALLY GRADUATED ON CITY COUNCIL. BUT I DO APPRECIATE BRANDON AND ALL THE MEETINGS WE'VE HAD. I THINK HE HAS AN INNATE ABILITY TO TALK ABOUT BOTH SIDES OF THE EQUATION, BUT SUBTLY OR NOT SO SUBTLY TELL YOU WHICH WAY YOU NEED TO GO. SO I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING HE'S DONE IN COUNCIL AND I DEFINITELY WISH HIM WELL. WE WILL DEFINITELY ARE GOING TO MISS HIM FOR SURE. AND SO THIS IS JUST A LITTLE GIFT FROM THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT. SO LET'S SEE WHAT KIND OF SWAG.

OKAY, BRANDON, I WANT YOU TO COME OVER HERE SO I DON'T HAVE TO LOOK BACKWARDS THE WHOLE TIME. SO. SO THIS IS ACTUALLY I'M REALLY JEALOUS OF THIS ACTUALLY FROM I WANT ONE OF THESE TO. SO IT'S DOUBLE SIDED. THIS IS FROM THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT FOR BRANDON JONES WAY. YEAH. SO IT'S PRETTY COOL. SO I DID WANT TO JUST MENTION THAT, YOU KNOW, YOUR SERVICE STARTED BEFORE 2015 BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE BOTH STARTED ON P AND Z AT THE SAME TIME. I MET BRANDON WHEN WE WERE BOTH GETTING SWORN IN TO P AND Z AT THE SAME TIME. AND, YOU KNOW, I WAS A LITTLE BUMMED WHENEVER HE WENT TO COUNCIL SO SOON AFTERWARDS BECAUSE I REALLY VALUED HIS INPUT ON ON PLANNING AND ZONING. BUT IT'S BEEN AN HONOR AND A PLEASURE TO BE ABLE TO SIT NEXT TO YOU AND, AND, YOU KNOW, HELP MAKE GOOD DECISIONS FOR THIS CITY FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS. YOU WILL BE MISSED. I THINK I'M STILL IN A LITTLE BIT OF DENIAL THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE HERE NEXT YEAR, BUT YOU WILL BE VERY MISSED AND WE WILL HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE FILL IN FOR YOUR EXCEL SKILLS. AND WE AND, AND WE HOPE TO SEE A LOT OF YOU STILL. I'LL BE HERE. YEAH. THANK YOU. I WANT ONE OF THESE I WANT ONE. ALL RIGHT. I NEED TO WORK AT A TAX PLACE. YEAH. THANK YOU. YEAH.

[01:40:05]

ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING. WOW. SO NINE YEARS ON COUNCIL AND I FORGET WHAT 2013 WAS WHEN WE STARTED. YOU KNOW I THINK BACK TO THE, YOU KNOW, THE OLD COLLEGE COUNSELORS LIKE WHAT WOULD YOU DO FOR FREE? AND LO AND BEHOLD, IT WAS COUNCIL BECAUSE WHEN I FIRST STARTED, I WAS WORKING FOR A SCHOOL DISTRICT. AND OUR GREAT TEXAS CONSTITUTION SAID, IF YOU WORK FOR A SCHOOL TEACHER AND NOT AND YOU'RE NOT A TEACHER, YOU CANNOT ACCEPT THE PAY, SO I DIDN'T. AND THE LAST THREE YEARS I WORKED FOR SMU. AND SO INSTEAD OF TAKING, I WASN'T, YOU KNOW, THAT BIG $50 WASN'T GOING ANYWHERE ANYWAY. SO I DONATED TO THE UNITED WAY OF DENTON COUNTY. I LOVED THE JOB, I LOVED EVERYBODY I WORKED WITH. THE STAFF HAS BEEN TREMENDOUS. I ALWAYS DEFEND THEM BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE COME THERE WHEN THEY WHEN THEY'RE UPSET ABOUT SOMETHING, AND RIGHTFULLY SO. BUT OUR STAFF WORKS DILIGENTLY TO GET STUFF DONE. SO, YOU KNOW, AS MUCH AS PEOPLE EITHER PRAISE OR TELL THE CITY COUNCIL YOU'RE NOT DOING THIS RIGHT, THE STAFF IS ALWAYS THERE TO BACK US UP AND MAKE US LOOK GOOD AND SOMETIMES MAKE US SMARTER THAN WE ACTUALLY ARE.

ONE OF THE THINGS I WILL MISS IS WHEN STAFF TELLS US, WELL, AS YOU REMEMBER COUNCIL, NO, I DON'T, I DON'T REMEMBER, YOU KNOW, AS A WAY TO KIND OF PROMPT US LIKE, YEAH, OKAY, GET THE MEMORY STICK BACK GOING, GET GOING. BUT I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE THAT YOUR TIME ON COUNCIL IS REALLY A RELAY RACE, AND YOU RUN YOUR LAPS, YOU RUN YOUR LAPS UNTIL YOUR LAPS UNTIL IT'S TIME TO HAND THE BATON OFF. AND SO THE BATON WILL BE HANDED OFF TO SOMEONE SOON WHO WILL TAKE THE BATON TO MAKE THE CITY BETTER THAN IT IS TODAY. WHEN I WHEN WE FIRST GOT ON PNC, I REMEMBER ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROJECTS WE HAD WAS $179,000 TOWNHOMES ON. I THINK IT'S ON DENTON TAP. AND I LOOKED AT CHRIS, I'M LIKE, ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SELL THOSE? AND SURE ENOUGH, THAT WAS THE BEGINNING. AND THE CITY HAS JUST GROWN BIGGER AND BIGGER AND BETTER. AND WE'RE OUR OWN CITY.

WE'RE NOT TRYING TO BE ANYBODY ELSE'S CITY. WE'RE TRYING TO BE OURSELVES. WE'RE RESPECTING THE PAST OF WHAT LEWISVILLE WAS AND TRYING TO MANAGE WHAT THE FUTURE, WHAT IS GOING TO BE. AND I HOPE I'VE DONE PROUD BY THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY. I HOPE I HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE STAFF TOO CRAZY, BUT I WANT TO THANK ALL MY COUNCIL MEMBERS. I WANT TO THANK MAYOR GILMORE. WE'VE BEEN ON COUNCIL TOGETHER FOR THE LONGEST TIME. WHEN HE WAS A COUNCIL MEMBER, WHEN HE WAS IMPORTANT BACK THEN. NOW HE'S JUST THE MAYOR. BUT AND I GIVE I GIVE HIM GRIEF ALL THE TIME.

THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO MISS THE MOST. YOU KNOW, LET ME GO BACK BEFORE COUNCIL, LET ME GO BACK TO MY FIRST COUNCIL MEETING THAT I EVER ATTENDED. I WAS UPSET ABOUT HAVING TO GO OUT WITH MY WIFE. WELL, THEN MY FIANCE ALL THE TIME. WE HAD TO GO TO DALLAS SOMEWHERE TO GO EAT SOMEWHERE SPECIAL. AND I CAME TO THE. I CAME TO THE COUNCIL MEETING AND I SAID SOMEWHERE RIGHT OVER THERE. AND THE MEETING WASN'T VERY MUCH ATTENDED, AND YOU COULDN'T SEE ANYBODY BACK HERE BECAUSE THEY HAD THE BIG SCREEN, BIG SCREENS BACK THERE. THE ONLY PERSON I COULD SEE WAS MAYOR BECAUSE HE'S ABOUT SIX, SIX, SEVEN. AND I CAME IN LIKE, MAN, WHY DON'T WE HAVE ANYTHING SPECIAL HERE TO EAT? AND IN THAT MEETING I LEARNED A COUPLE THINGS. ONE, THEY WERE BUILDING THE THREE RESTAURANTS OVER THERE WHERE THE CHURCH IS. SO THE FIRST THOUGHT

[01:45:04]

MAYBE I WANT TO ASK SOME QUESTIONS. AND SO I DID. AND SO I CAME UP, I MET WHO'S ON COUNCIL THEN NEIL FERGUSON, WHO I HELPED WITH HIS CAMPAIGN. I MET LEROY VAUGHN. AND TAMARA GIVES ME A LOT OF CREDIT FOR THE YOUTH ACTION COUNCIL. BUT THE GENESIS OF THAT IDEA WAS HIS BECAUSE ONE OF YOUR ONE OF YOUR YAC MEMBERS SAID IT TODAY. IT'S LIKE IT'S STUFF FOR ADULTS, IT'S STUFF FOR THE LITTLE KIDS, BUT IT'S NOT STUFF FOR US. THOSE ARE LITERALLY THE WORDS THAT LEROY SAID WHEN I WAS RUNNING FOR COUNCIL. AND I WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M GOING TO TAKE THAT IDEA AND I'M GOING TO RUN IT. I'M GOING TO GET IT ACROSS THE FINISH LINE BECAUSE LEROY PASSED WHILE HE WAS ON COUNCIL. AND SO I TOOK THAT BATON AND I RAN IT FORWARD. IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE. I'M NOT LEAVING. I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE. I'LL BE HERE. I'LL JUST BE CONVERTING BACK TO RESIDENTS. SO I WILL BE GIVING THE COUNCIL GRIEF WHEN IT NEEDS IT. BUT I RESPECT EVERYBODY ON THE COUNCIL. WE'VE HAD ALL KIND OF PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS. I REMEMBER BOB WHEN HE WAS THE ELIGIBLE BACHELOR BEFORE BOXING, BEFORE SHE TOOK CHARGE. PATRICK IS ALWAYS, ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE MOST TRANSPARENCY AND THE RIGHT WAY TO DO THINGS, AND I APPRECIATE THAT. AND HE'S NOT AFRAID TO HAVE DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS AND DO SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO SAY POLITICIANS DON'T DO. HE LISTENS. HE FORMERLY, HE MAYBE HE'LL STILL HAVE HIS OWN IDEAS AND THOUGHTS, BUT HE'LL LISTEN TO IT AND HE'LL HE'LL ADD THAT IN. YOU KNOW, WILLIAM AND I ACTUALLY GO BACK TO DALLAS ISD WHERE HE DOESN'T WORK THERE. BUT WE'VE KNOWN WE'VE WORKED IN THE SAME BUILDING FOR A WHILE, AND ANYTHING CONSTRUCTION RELATED, WILLIAM IS ON IT. SO THAT'S WHO I TURN TO ALL THE TIME. AND I, I HAD TO MAKE CHRISTIAN RUN BECAUSE CHRISTIAN WAS LIKE, I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS. I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS. BUT CHRISTIAN, WHEN CHRISTIAN WAS ON PNC, WE HELD VERY FIRM TO WHAT THE IDEALS OF WHAT THE CITY WANTED TO DO. AND I WOULD, WHENEVER SHE SAID SOMETHING, I WOULD SIT THERE AND LISTEN. SHE TALKED ABOUT SHE LISTENED TO ME. I LISTEN TO CHRISTIAN. I'M LIKE, OKAY, WELL, NO, THAT'S THAT'S FANTASTIC. AND I'VE ALWAYS RESPECTED HER, HER HER OPINION, HER THOUGHTS ON THINGS AND HER HER ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS THAT SOME OF US, MYSELF, MISS SOMETIMES. RONNIE, WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT RONNIE? IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH, DON'T ASK RONNIE, BECAUSE RONNIE'S GOING TO LET YOU KNOW. AND SHE SHE SHE SHE GIVES YOU TO YOU FROM HER HEART. SHE'S SHE'S A PERSON WHO'S VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THINGS. AND I RESPECT AND LOVE THAT ABOUT HER. AND, YOU KNOW, I AFFECTIONATELY CALL HER AUNTIE RONNIE BECAUSE SOMETIMES WHEN RONNIE GETS GOING, IT'S LIKE, OKAY, DON'T SLOW DOWN. SHE'S LIKE, NO, NO, NO, I'M GOING TO SAY I'M OKAY. RIGHT? BUT BUT NO, I REALLY DO APPRECIATE HER. AND LIKE I SAID, TJ AND I GO BACK WAY BACK ALL THE WAY BACK TO BEFORE I GOT ON COUNCIL. WE STARTED, WE STARTED TALKING AND WE MET EACH OTHER AND WE BECOME CLOSE OVER THE YEARS. AND WE'RE NOT JUST COLLEAGUES, WE'RE REALLY FRIENDS. AND I THINK IN A CITY WHERE OR IN THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW WHERE WE HAVE ALL THIS DIVIDE, EVERYBODY ON ON THIS DAIS HAS DIFFERENT POLITICAL BELIEFS, DIFFERENT BELIEFS IN LIFE, BUT WE ALL HAVE ONE GOAL, AND THAT'S TO DO RIGHT BY THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE. WE TAKE WE TAKE THE JOB SERIOUSLY, BUT NOT OURSELVES. AND SO I THANK YOU GUYS FOR THIS HONOR. I'M VERY, VERY TOUCHED. I WILL BE AROUND. I'LL BE I'LL FIND SOMETHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT. BUT BUT NO, NO SERIOUSLY, THANK YOU GUYS. IT REALLY MEANS A LOT. THANK YOU. OH, CLAIRE. HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON. NO NO NO NO I GOT, I GOT. HOW DID I FORGET THIS. SO I CAN TELL THIS STORY NOW BECAUSE I COULDN'T TELL IT BEFORE. NO, NO I'M NOT I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU A SECRET MUSICIAN NAME THAT YOU TOLD US IN KANSAS CITY. I'M NOT GOING TO TELL THAT NAME. NO, BUT CLAIRE WAS THE ONE PERSON I HIRED WHO WE HIRED THAT WAS IN THE BAG FOR CLAIRE THE WHOLE TIME. AND I CAN SAY THAT UNASHAMEDLY NOW BECAUSE CLAIRE HAD THE VISION, THE IDEA, AND SHE'S THE HAPPY WARRIOR TO GET STUFF DONE FOR THE CITY. AND EVERY PERSON I'VE TAUGHT, EVERY WITHOUT EXCEPTION, HAS SAID WHAT AN EXCELLENT CITY MANAGER SHE IS. SO WE'RE VERY, VERY LUCKY TO HAVE HER. AND WE WANT WE WANT TO KEEP HER AROUND FOR AS MANY YEARS AS HER HUSBAND WILL LET HER. AND AS LONG AS SHE WANTS TO BE HERE, WE NEED TO KEEP WE NEED TO KEEP HER AROUND BECAUSE SHE KEEPS THE CITY GOING. AND SHE DOES IT WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE. I CAN'T, I CAN'T NOT SAY THAT NOW. I'M DONE. I'M SORRY.

THANK YOU. CAN I CAN I GET IN HERE? ONE WITH YOU. OKAY, OKAY. YOU READY? YEP. ALL RIGHT. ONE, TWO. I WANT TO TAKE A COUPLE. ONE. TWO. TWO. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MY APOLOGIES. COUNCIL.

[01:50:05]

[E. Public Hearing]

SO THAT IS ENTIRELY UP TO YOU WHETHER YOU WANT TO SAY EVERYTHING NOW AND SAY IT AGAIN NEXT TIME. WHETHER YOU WANT TO REACH OUT TO COUNCIL BETWEEN NOW AND THEN, HOWEVER YOU WANT TO DEAL WITH THAT. SO I'M NOT ASKING ANYBODY TO ABROGATE THEIR THEIR PUBLIC RIGHT TO COMMENT. I JUST WANT TO BE COGNIZANT OF YOUR TIME AND ALSO UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE DECIDED TONIGHT. IT WILL BE PUSHED OFF UNTIL THE 19TH. SO WITH THAT, I AM GOING TO READ A FEW ITEMS INTO THE RECORD JUST SO THAT WE HAVE THEM. LET'S SEE. BEAR WITH ME HERE. SO I DO HAVE THE FOLLOWING CARDS REQUESTING TO MAKE THEIR OPINION KNOWN BUT ASKED NOT TO SPEAK. I HAVE A TANYA LYNN WHO IS IN OPPOSITION. I HAVE HERBERT BARTEK WHO IS IN OPPOSITION. I HAVE CHARLES HUMMER IN OPPOSITION, JOYCE LANDRY, OPPOSITION. WILLIAM PRIEST OPPOSITION TO THE CHANGES ZARA KHAN AND CARLOS RIVERA, OPPOSITION COREY JOHNSON, OPPOSITION. PATRICIA HOFF IN OPPOSITION. JESSICA RODRIGUEZ IN OPPOSITION, AND SCOTT JOHNSON IN OPPOSITION. THESE WILL ALL BE PLACED INTO THE RECORD, SO WE KNOW WHO THEY ARE AND COUNCIL WILL ABSOLUTELY HAVE YOUR INFORMATION. SO IF THEY HAVE QUESTIONS, THEY CAN REACH OUT TO YOU. I DO ALSO HAVE. WILLIAM HEPBURN, PAM BERGERON, LAWRENCE MAGUIRE, ALL IN OPPOSITION, BRETT DOCKERY, WILLIAM PALM, THOMASVILLE. MY APOLOGIES ON THAT. KAREN HAHN, NANCY HEPBURN, ALL IN OPPOSITION. RENEE LAWSON, SUZANNE DUNN, PHIL SMILEY AND JOHN PLOTSKY OPPOSITION GARY VANOSDALE, DONNA VIDAL AND LADONNA PIPER ALL IN OPPOSITION. I HAVE.

OPPOSITION. LAURENCE MAGUIRE IN OPPOSITION. WILLIAM PRIEST IN OPPOSITION, AND KRISTEN GARCIA IN OPPOSITION VIA EMAIL. WITH THAT, I DO HAVE. MR. ERIC STANLEY, OF COURSE, IS HERE

[01:55:08]

THE FIRST QUESTION OF THE COUNCIL IS WE'D LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE, HOW MANY OPPOSITIONS THAT YOU RECEIVED. IF WE COULD HAVE A COUNT OF THAT, WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT GETS TO YOU. SHOULD THAT? SHOULD THEY GO STRAIGHT TO YOU? I'M SORRY. WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE THAT SENT TO YOU AND YOU COULD DISTRIBUTE? YEAH. SO WE'D LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY YOU RECEIVED IN OPPOSITION.

BUT THEN THE ONLY THING I DO WANT TO SAY TONIGHT IS, I'D LIKE FOR YOU TO SEE IF YOU'RE A RESIDENT OF THE RESERVE NEIGHBORHOOD. WOULD YOU PLEASE STAND UP? OKAY, SO WE DO COME IN FORCE. WE DO ALL OPPOSE THIS DEVELOPMENT, AND WE WILL SPEAK IN DETAIL AT THE MAY 19TH MEETING. I DO KNOW THAT. THANK YOU. Y'ALL CAN ALL SIT DOWN NOW. I DO I DO WANT TO BRING ONE POINT, BECAUSE I KNOW ONE ITEM THAT YOU'LL BE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT IS THE NORTH SIDE OF CASTLE HILLS. AND I DO THINK THE COUNCIL NEEDS TO BE AWARE, WHILE WE DON'T LIVE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF CASTLE HILLS, IT'S ALL KIND OF TIED TO THIS REALM DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE A PART OF. I DO WANT YOU ALL TO BE AWARE THAT WE HAVE LEARNED THAT IF YOU ALL RECALL, BACK IN THE AUGUST 19TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING, THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT CASTLE HILLS NORTH AREA, THE REALM AND THE PNC STAFF MR. LUKEY WAS TALKING ABOUT, AND NUMEROUS COMMENTS WERE MADE ABOUT THESE TRAFFIC STUDIES THAT WERE DONE, BUT AND NUMEROUS SINCE 1996, TRAFFIC STUDIES WERE DONE. OKAY. AND IF YOU RECALL, BACK IN THE AUGUST MEETING, THOSE RESIDENTS THAT REALLY LIVED IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC. IT WAS RIDICULOUS.

THEY WERE JUST MOST OF THE COMMENTS WERE ALL ABOUT THE TRAFFIC IN THAT AREA AND STUFF.

BUT THE PNC MEETING ON THE 15TH OF APRIL THAT I ATTENDED, WE PINNED THE PNC STAFF DOWN TO FIND OUT. WHAT IS YOUR DATA POINT? YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THESE TRAFFIC STUDIES. WHAT IS YOUR DATA POINT ON THE TRAFFIC STUDIES? AND WHAT WE LEARNED IN THAT APRIL 15TH MEETING WAS THE TRAFFIC STUDIES THAT THEY'RE USING. AND THAT THEY TALK ABOUT IS FROM 2014. NOW, THEY NEVER MENTIONED A DATE ABOUT TRAFFIC STUDIES, BUT THEY TOLD EVERYBODY THERE HAD BEEN NUMEROUS TRAFFIC STUDIES DONE. AND I THINK WE ALL BASED PEOPLE BASED DECISIONS ON THAT. THEY HAVE TRAFFIC STUDIES.

I KNOW THAT THEY'RE GETTING SOME NEW TRAFFIC STUDIES, BUT I THINK IT'S DECEITFUL THAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING STAFF AND THE DEVELOPER ALL KNEW THAT THOSE TRAFFIC STUDIES WERE DONE IN 2014, AND THOSE ARE NOT A LOT HAS CHANGED IN 11 YEARS FOR TRAFFIC STUDIES IN AND AROUND THE REALM AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO THAT'S VERY DECEITFUL. BUT ANYWAY, THE REST OF OUR COMMENTS, WE WILL DEFER TO THE MAY 19TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND SEE YOU ALL AT MAY 19TH. BUT THANK YOU. WE JUST WANTED YOU ALL TO SEE THAT WE ARE VERY OPPOSED TO THIS DEVELOPMENT OF THAT THREE AND A HALF ACRES. OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. QUESTION CAN CAN CAN I OR IS IT TO HER SPECIFIC. OKAY. MISS SMILEY, WOULD YOU MIND. ARE YOU OPPOSED TO THE DEVELOPMENT IN GENERAL. LIKE FOR EVERYTHING. YOU JUST WANT IT AS IS. OR ARE YOU OPPOSED TO THIS PARTICULAR

[02:00:05]

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE OPPOSED TO. OKAY, SO YOU'RE NOT OPPOSED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THAT. YOU'RE OPPOSED TO THE FIVE STORY BUILDING. WE'RE OPPOSED TO THE FIVE STORY BUILDING. WE'RE GREAT. IF HE WANTS TO PUT THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT PLAN, WHICH WERE EIGHT SINGLE STORY PADS, EIGHT SINGLE STORY PAD SITES ON THAT, THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT PLAN THAT HE HAD TO PUT TOGETHER FOR TO GET HIS PD OR WHATEVER THE PROCESS WAS. WE'RE NOT OPPOSED TO THAT. THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE EGREGIOUS. AND ON THE PRIVACY OF THE RESIDENTS WHO LIVE IN THE RESERVE CUL DE SAC, BUT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A FIVE STORY BUILDING THAT WE REROUTED PARKER ROAD. THE TRAIN GOES UNDER, PARKER ROAD, GOES OVER, AND YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO PUT A FIVE STORY BUILDING THAT'S GOING TO BE AT LEAST 60 FOOT TALL JUST THERE. TELL ME HOW THAT'S GOING TO LOOK DOWN ONTO THAT. IT'S GOING TO BE JUST VERY EGREGIOUS AS FAR AS PRIVACY GOES. SO WE'RE OPPOSED TO THE FIVE STORY BUILDING. WE'RE NOT OPPOSED TO HIM DEVELOPING SOMETHING ON THERE, BUT NOT FIVE STORIES, NOT WHEN IT'S IN YOUR BACKYARD. AND KNOWING THAT ALL OF THAT DEVELOPMENT, THAT ELEVATION OF THAT FIVE STORY, THE ALL OF IT, THE TRAIN GOES UNDER. PARKER ROAD WAS BUILT WAY UP. AND THAT ELEVATION IS VERY TALL, AND YOU'RE GOING TO STICK A 60 FOOT BUILDING ON TOP OF THAT. THAT IS VERY INVASIVE, NOT ONLY TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT TO THE NORTH ACROSS. AND THEY DON'T EVEN REALIZE IT. THEY DON'T REALIZE WHAT THEY'RE GETTING INTO, WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO GET WHEN THAT BUILDING GETS PUT ON THAT LAND EITHER. UNDERSTOOD. SO THANK YOU. ANYWAY, I ALSO HAVE REQUESTS TO SPEAK FROM RICK VIDAL. GOOD EVENING. IT'S RICK VIDAL, 2800 100 KNIGHTS DRIVE, AND I WANT TO THANK. GEORGIA FOR HER COMMENTS. I THINK THEY'RE SPOT ON. AND ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO ENTER INTO THE RECORD, IF I CAN APPROACH AND HAND THIS. THANK YOU SIR. THAT IS A PHOTOGRAPH OF AN EXISTING HOME AND AN EXISTING FIVE STORY APARTMENT BUILDING IN THE REALM JUST OFF OF 121, AND THERE'S NO TRICKERY THERE THAT'S SHOT WITH A 50 MILLIMETER LENS ON A 35 MILLIMETER CAMERA, WHICH IS THE CLOSEST PERSPECTIVE TO THE HUMAN EYE. SO IT GIVES YOU A GOOD DEPTH ■OF FIELD FEEL FOR WHAT THAT IS. AND THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT. THAT'S A LITTLE OVER 200FT FROM THAT. THE BACKSIDE OF THAT HOME TO THE BUILDING. SO YOU'RE DOING THIS AND THEY'RE DOING THAT. SO THAT MAY I ASK YOU SOMETHING. YES, MA'AM. THE GROUND LEVEL. IT LOOKS LIKE THE ELEVATION IS EQUAL. THEY'RE THE SAME. IT'S VERY, VERY, VERY CLOSE. SO IT'S THE SAME FROM THE GROUND UP. RICHARD, WHAT IS THE ELEVATION OF THE GROUND LEVEL IN REFERENCE TO THE RAILROAD TRACK AND TO PARKER ROAD AND STUFF? IT'S NOT THE SAME LEVEL. I BELIEVE THE RAILROAD TRACK IS APPROXIMATELY 20FT. I'M KIND OF GUESSING RIGHT NOW, BUT DOESN'T IT GO DOWN INTO A BOWL? IT GOES DOWN, IT COMES BACK UP. AND THEN PARKER ROAD THAT IS, IS ELEVATED EVEN HIGHER THAN THAT. SO THIS, THIS, I'M TRYING TO GET TO THE POINT WHERE THE GROUND FLOOR OF THIS FIVE STORY BUILDING, IT'S NOT ON THE SAME PLANE AS THE HOUSES. IT'S DOWN. NO. IS THAT NOT. IT'S UP.

I THINK IT'S CURRENTLY ABOUT THE SAME OR SLIGHTLY HIGHER. BUT THE PLANS, YOU KNOW, THE SITE WOULD NEED TO BE GRADED AND ENGINEERED. AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THE DESIGN IS GOING TO BE BRINGING THAT DOWN SOMEWHAT. SO TODAY THE GROUND LEVEL WHERE THAT BUILDING SITE IS ALMOST 15FT OR ABOUT 15FT HIGHER THAN MY LOT. AND SO THE RAILROAD TRACKS ARE BETWEEN ME AND THAT BUILDING SITE. THE RAILROAD TRACKS ARE ABOUT 15FT DEPRESSED BELOW GRADE. SO WE DON'T WE DON'T LITERALLY. THE TRACKS ARE FROM ME TO YOU INTO MY DRIVEWAY. I CAN'T SEE THE TRAINS, SO IT'S THAT LOW. BUT THE BUILDING SITE IS 15FT HIGHER THAN ME, SO GROUND. WHEN I'M AT

[02:05:06]

JUST TO GIVE SOME PERSPECTIVE. SO THE PLANS ARE TO EXCAVATE THAT IN WHICH WAY THE FINISHED FLOOR WOULD BE BROUGHT DOWN. THE, THE CURRENT ELEVATION IS THE REMNANTS OF THE OLD ROADBED THAT USED TO GO THROUGH OLD. 544 SO NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO THE SITE. AGAIN, THE SITE WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH AN ENGINEERING SITE, PLAN TO ESTABLISH A FINISHED FLOOR, AND I BELIEVE SOME PRELIMINARY STUDIES SHOWING THAT FINISHED FLOOR ELEVATION WILL BE LOWER THAN WHAT THAT GROUND LEVEL IS TODAY. OKAY. THANK YOU. ALSO TOUCH ON WHAT GEORGIA SAID. WE DON'T OPPOSE DEVELOPMENT OF THAT PLOT. I MEAN IT'S HIS PROPERTY. YOU KNOW WE CAN'T SAY NO. YOU CANNOT BUILD THERE. WHAT WE DO OPPOSE IS BUILDING A FIVE STORY APARTMENT BUILDING LITERALLY IN OUR BACKYARD. AND YOU KNOW, THAT PHOTOGRAPH, I THINK, SHOWS A VERY GOOD REPRESENTATION OF WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO HAVE THAT IN OUR BACKYARD. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
