Dec 06, 2021 City Council

HOW DO I GET AN ANSWER TO IT? YOU WILL HAVE ONE OF THE CITY STAFF, UH, WE'LL COME BACK AND TALK WITH YOU.

WHEN YOU'RE IN A PUBLIC COMMENTS, WE CANNOT COME BACK AND TALK ABOUT THEY DO IT TO SEE IF HE'S, WHAT WAS THAT? I, WHEN I ASKED THEM, CARSON'S, I'VE ASKED ASHLEY ON EMAILS I'VE SENT, WE JUST DON'T HAVE NOTHING.

SO YOU SAYING THAT WHEN YOU HAVE A PUBLIC COMMENT, YOU JUST SEND ME COMMENTS.

MA'AM OUR CITY ATTORNEY WILL EXPLAIN THE ROBERT'S RULE.

AND IT'S ACTUALLY STATE LAW.

IF AN ITEM IS NOT POSTED ON A CITY COUNCIL AGENDA, THEN THE GOVERNING BODY IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO RESPOND.

I BELIEVE WHAT THE CITY OF HOUSTON DOES IS IT REQUIRES PEOPLE TO REGISTER PRIOR TO POSTING THEIR MEETINGS.

THEREFORE THEY POST ALL OF THE PUBLIC COMMENT SUBJECTS.

CAN WE TAKE THIS UPSIDE? PATTY NEWTON? HI.

MY NAME IS PATTY NEWTON AND I LIVE AT 47, 10 BEAKMAN DRIVE AND MANNERS OF SILVER RIDGE.

I'M HERE TONIGHT TO EXPRESS MY GREAT DISPLEASURE WITH THE PROPOSED ROYAL LIVING AT FORT BEND AND ROYAL LIVING AT SIENNA.

UM, FIRST MY HUGE CONCERN IS SAFETY.

CURRENTLY WATTS PLANTATION IS A VERY BUSY TWO LANE, NO SHOULDER DIMLY LIT STREET.

THAT'S A COUNTRY ROAD.

SINCE I MOVED TO MANNERS OF SILVER RIDGE IN 2018, AN EVENTS CENTER HAS BEEN ADDED TO THAT ROAD, A RELIGIOUS FACILITY, AS WELL AS THE DEVELOPMENTS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

UM, RIGHT NOW WATTS PLANTATION IS THE ONLY ACCESS POINT OR THE ESTATES OF SILVER RIDGE MANNERS OF SILVER, RED, AND LAUREL GREEN.

YOU HAVE PUT OUR LIVES IN JEOPARDY.

IF THERE IS ANY TYPE OF EMERGENCY AND YOU ADD ANY FURTHER DEVELOPMENT TO THAT ROAD.

UM, IN ADDITION, UM, WHAT WE'RE SEEING HAPPEN OVER AND OVER.

IT'S A CUT-THROUGH FROM SANTA PLANTATION TONIGHT ROAD AND WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FORT BEN TOWN CENTER, THAT'S GOING IN AT HIGHWAY SIX AND THE FORT BEND TOLLWAY.

I ONLY SEE THAT INCREASING, PLEASE, PLEASE.

I AM BEGGING YOU BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED ON WATTS PLANTATION.

DO NOT ALLOW ANY FURTHER DEVELOPMENT ON THAT STREET.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

FROM CHILDHOOD ON ARE FROM THERE.

I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER PUBLIC COMMENT.

I HAVE A WATCH PLANTATION DEVELOPMENT.

IS THAT PUBLIC COMMENT, ROBIN GERALD.

HI ROBIN GERALD 9 1 1 9 HIGHWAY SIX, SOUTH MISSOURI CITY.

MOSTLY WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY THE ONE BEFORE ME SUMMED UP.

SO I'LL JUST SAY, UM, MY FIRST TIME AT A CITY COUNCIL MEETING, I'M NOT INTO POLITICS.

I DON'T LIVE ON WATCH PLANTATION ROAD.

I DO DRIVE THROUGH THERE.

I DON'T REALLY HAVE A DOG IN SPITE.

UM, WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS MY STORY.

I APPRECIATE YOU, UH, MIDWAY THREE MINUTES OF YOUR TIME.

I GREW UP IN WEST LOS ANGELES, SANTA MONICA.

I SPECIFICALLY LOCATED IN ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACHES IN THE WORLD.

IT'S A WONDERFUL PLACE TO LIVE OUR FAMILY AND TENDED TO SPEND THE REST OF OUR LIVES THERE AND WHAT WE VIEWED AS A SUNNY BEACH PARADISE.

AND THEN WE WATCHED THAT AREA BECOME UNLIVABLE FOR YOUNG FAMILIES.

THEY'D SAY IT'S JUST ONE MORE HIGH DENSITY COMPLEX.

WHAT'S THE HARM.

AND THE HARM IS MINOR CONCESSIONS, EVEN INCH.

AND YOU GET ANOTHER INCH, HIGH DENSITY HOUSING PROJECT HERE, OR DOLLAR TREE THERE.

AND SO ON SECTION EIGHT, PAWN SHOPS, PAYDAY LENDERS AT EACH INCREMENT.

THE PAST PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE IS ALWAYS TO RETREAT ANOTHER INCH.

AND ONE MORNING YOU WAKE UP, YOU'LL LOOK AT AN OLD HOLIDAY PICTURE AND YOU DON'T EVEN RECOGNIZE YOUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE BACKGROUND ANYMORE.

MY WIFE AND I WERE MARRIED, UH, WILL ROGERS BEACH, BEAUTIFUL BEACH AND SANTA MONICA BEACH, WHERE THEY FILMED.

THEY WATCHED THE MOST POPULAR TELEVISION SHOW IN HISTORY.

AND MY BEST MEMORIES IN LIFE

[00:10:02]

THINGS ARE SO BAD IN LOS ANGELES RIGHT NOW, A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER EARLIER THIS YEAR PROPOSED TURNING THAT BEACH INTO A HOMELESS RELOCATION SHELTER.

THE, UH, UPS UPSCALE SANTA MONICA STREETS, WHERE WE USED TO WALK.

OUR BABY IN THE STROLLER BECAME INFESTED WITH TRASH DRUG NEEDLES, HUMAN EXCREMENT, GRAFFITI CRIME, HOMELESS PEOPLE STALKING MY WIFE ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION.

EVENTUALLY IT WAS FULL ON RIOTS, LOOTING PROPERTY DESTRUCTION IN THE SUMMER OF 2020, THE STORES OF THE PROMENADE AND SANTA MONICA BOULEVARD GOT BOARDED UP NEARBY VENICE BEACH BOARDWALK ONCE GOT MORE ANNUAL VISITORS THAN DISNEYLAND, UH, CAME HOMELESS ENCAMPMENT, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, DREAM DIE, TEXAS DREAM ALIVE.

WE MOVED HERE.

WE MOVED.

YEAH, PHYSICALLY IS.

IT FEELS LIKE WHAT WHAT'S LOS ANGELES FELT LIKE WHEN WE WERE GROWING UP SAFE, YOUR CHILD CAN GO OUTSIDE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHERE THEY ARE, YOU KNOW, AND BUY DINNER, SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD.

YOU WANT TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.

UH, FROM CALIFORNIA, A LOT OF CALIFORNIA'S MOVING HERE.

THEY DIDN'T ALL LEAVE THEIR VOTING HABITS BEHIND, UH, YOU GUYS ALL WORK FOR PEOPLE IN MISSOURI CITY, PROPERTY DEVELOPERS, AND WHEN EVALUATING THE MERITS OF YET ANOTHER HIGH DENSITY HOUSING PROJECT IN AN AREA, I WOULD JUST PLEASE ASK YOURSELF ONE QUESTION.

WILL THIS MAKE SIENNA MORE LIKE LOS ANGELES OR LESS? THE ANSWER IS MORE.

OH NO, THANK YOU FOR TIME.

NO, NO, THE BRAIN.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HAS ADOPTED THIS FINAL REPORT AND FORWARD IT TO CITY COUNCIL WITH A POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION.

THE CURRENT EXISTING SUBSTATION, UH, UTILIZES A CONVENTIONAL DESIGN, WHICH CENTER POINT DESCRIBED AS SUSCEPTIBLE TO A LOSS OF POWER.

AND THEY'VE BEEN A BREAKER FAILURE.

SO THEY'RE, UH, UM, PROPOSING TO, UH, INSTALL A LOW PROFILE DESIGN EXPECTED TO PROVIDE FLEXIBLE OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE POWER RELIABILITY.

UM, THERE WERE CHANGES, UH, THAT WERE PROPOSED BY THE APPLICANT DUE TO, UH, FURTHER, UH, GETTING FURTHER IN THE DESIGN PROCESS.

UM, SO I'LL TALK ABOUT THOSE RIGHT NOW.

UM, STAFF PROPOSED THAT THE STAFF IS PROPOSING RECOMMENDING THAT THE SITE MEET THE EL C3 HEIGHTENED AREA REQUIREMENTS WHILE THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED, UM, STRUCTURAL DETAILS, WHICH INCLUDE, UH, EXPECTED 92 FEET HEIGHT THAT EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED HEIGHT AND THE LC TWO RETAIL DISTRICT OF 35 FEET.

THEY ARE ALSO REQUESTING REDUCTION OF FIVE FEET FROM THE FRONT YARD SETBACK ALONG TEXAS PARKWAY.

AS FAR AS THE LANDSCAPING REGULATIONS, THE APPLICATION, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A 10 YARD, 10 FOOT REDUCTION TO THE BUFFER YARD ALONG TEXAS PARKWAY.

WHILE STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT THEY MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS OF BUFFER YARD ALONG THE TEXAS PARKWAY CRESTMONT, UH, DRIVE AND CRESTMONT PLACE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, UM, FOR THE FENCING REQUIREMENTS, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A 10 FOOT HIGH, A MASONRY WALL FENCE, UM, SHOWN IN THESE DETAILS, UM, TO MITIGATE AND REDUCE SOME OF THE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS THAT THEY ARE CREATING, OR THAT WILL BE ON THE SITE DUE TO THE, UH, YES.

UM, THE APPLICANTS PROPOSING A 10 FOOT HIGH MASONRY WALL, UM, TO REDUCE SOME OF THE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF IN REGARDS TO THE HEIGHT AND AREA OF THE PROPOSED SUBSTATION.

DOES THE COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS? THANK YOU.

IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE AS PRESENTED BY CITY STAFF? IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND? OKAY.

SO THERE'S BEEN A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN RABBONI SECOND BY MAY APPROACH.

MEROLA'S SIR DISCUSSION.

SO I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.

SO ON THAT, CAN YOU GO BACK? YEAH, RIGHT THERE.

SO ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE TOOLS SIMULTANEOUSLY? THEY WILL BE REMOVING THE CURRENT ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION SUBSTATION AND THEY WILL INSTALLING THIS NEW ONE ON THE SIDE AS SHOWN.

SO WILL THIS BE FACING TEXAS PARKWAY OR TO THE SIDE OF THE, UM, THE ENTRANCE WILL BE OFF TEXAS PARKWAY, BUT IT'LL BE VISIBLE FROM ALL SIDES.

AND WHAT IS THE HIGHEST POINT? I KNOW YOU'RE PUTTING A, WHAT IS THAT? EIGHT FOOT, 10 FOOT MASONRY WALL.

UM, SO THE HIGHEST POINT AS PROPOSED BY THE APPLICANT WOULD BE 92 FEET.

UM, THAT WOULD BE A MASK ATTACHED.

I TRIED TO, UH, THERE MAY BE SOME PAPERS ON YOUR, UH, DESK THAT Y'ALL CAN SEE WHICH SHOW THE CURRENT, UH, TEXAS PARKWAY SUBSTATION, AND THEN THE PROPOSED, UH, WHAT THEY PROPOSE ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION SUBSTATION WILL LOOK LIKE AS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.

WHEREAS, SO THIS, THE PROPOSED WILL BE IS WHAT YOU SEE FROM TEXAS PARKWAY.

YES, MAYOR STAFF IS ACTUALLY RECOMMENDING, UM, DUE TO THE

[00:25:01]

SIGNIFICANCE OF THESE CHANGES THAT THIS GO BACK IN FRONT OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR RECONSIDERATION.

SO, UH, THE PROPOSED LC TO MAX HEIGHT IS 35 FEET.

UM, IF APPROVED AS PER STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION OF 35 FOOT, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO INSTALL THEIR 92 FOOT STRUCTURE AND BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ORDINANCE.

SO IF WE APPROVE AND YOU WOULD TAKE IT BACK TO P AND Z, WE STAFF IS RECOMMENDING JUST TO TAKE IT BACK TO P AND Z BEFORE, UH, THE WHY DIDN'T GO TO P AND Z AND THEN COME BACK TO US WITH THE, WHAT IT WAS.

SO THE ORIGINAL APPLICATION DIDN'T INCLUDE ALL OF THESE DETAILS.

THE PNC HELD THEIR PUBLIC HEARING BASED ON THE INFORMATION THE APPLICANTS SUBMITTED AND MADE THEIR RECOMMENDATION.

BUT PART OF THEIR RECOMMENDATION WAS THAT THEY WOULD PREPARE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO PROVIDE.

SO THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT A CERTAIN POINT PROVIDED FOLLOWING THE PNC MEETING, DETAILED THAT HEIGHT AT 92 FEET, WHICH WASN'T CONTEMPLATED BY THE COMMISSION.

ALSO THE SETBACKS THAT THEY'RE REQUESTING WERE NOT CONTEMPLATED BY THE COMMISSION.

SO THIS PUBLIC HEARING HAD BEEN SCHEDULED.

UM, SO WE'VE MOVED FORWARD WITH THE PUBLIC HEARING, BUT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THESE CHANGES SHOULD BE SENT BACK TO THE P AND Z TO CONSIDER, TO PROVIDE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL.

SO WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY GO BACK AND THEY DON'T APPROVE IT, THEN THEY WOULD VOTE ON A RECOMMENDATION BASED ON THESE CHANGES.

AND IF IT'S IN FAVOR, UM, IN SUPPORT OF, OR MAKING CHANGES TO IT, WE'LL COME BACK TO.

SURE.

SO LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING AS WELL.

SO WHEN WE'RE DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS, SHOULDN'T THE, DO WE DON'T WE SEND THESE LETTERS OUT TO THESE COMMUNITY, CORRECT.

HAVE THAT GOING OUT WITH THESE CHANGES? NO, NOT WITH THE CHANGES.

SO THE INITIAL LETTER THAT WAS MAILED OUT NOTIFIED OF THE PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE PLANNING AND SONY, SO THAT PUBLIC HEARING WAS HELD THE SECOND WEDNESDAY IN NOVEMBER, CENTERPOINT HAS SUBMITTED THESE DETAILS ON THE HEIGHT AND THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS SINCE THAT TIME.

SO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT'S BEING PRESENTED PUBLICLY.

SO SHOULD THIS GO BACK? I MENTIONED THAT PEOPLE SHOULD GET THE CHANGES THAT THAT'S HERE NOW, SHOULD THE PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IT AND IT SHOULD GO TO P AND Z, THEN IT NEEDS TO COME BACK TO US.

RIGHT? CORRECT.

SO IF IT GOES BACK TO P AND Z, THEN THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS WILL RECEIVE A NEW NOTICE OF A PUBLIC HEARING.

AND THEN THAT WILL GO BACK TO P AND Z AND THEY'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE COMMENTS AT THAT POINT FOR THEM.

WHY IS THIS UP HERE NOW THOUGH? WHY CAN'T IT BE PULL TO GO BACK TO P AND Z AND LET THE RESIDENTS KNOW, WHY ARE WE APPROVED? WHY ARE WE, I'M NOT FOLLOWING YOU? THE APPLICANT CAN MAKE THAT OPTION AS WELL.

SO CENTER POINT A CERTAIN POINT REPRESENTATIVE IS HERE HEARING, UH, WHAT STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS.

THEY CAN ALSO ASK COUNSEL TO POSTPONE HEARING THIS AND SENDING IT BACK TO COUNCIL OR TO A P AND Z FOR CONSIDERATION.

SO WHO'S GOING TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION.

WE CAN SEE IT FOR THE CENTER POINT.

REPRESENTATIVE IS HERE.

AND IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO WEIGH IN ON THAT, BECAUSE TOO OFTEN WE DO THIS AND OUR NEIGHBORS COMPLAINTS THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED LETTERS.

SO I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS.

UM, HEATHER MONICA AND WITH CENTER POINT ENERGY.

SO WOULD YOU MIND IF WE PULL THIS BACK OUT TO P AND Z AND HAVE THEM GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE RESIDENTS IN THOSE NEARBY SO THEY CAN HAVE A WAY NODDED AND THEN P AND Z TO GO THROUGH, AND THEN IT COMES BACK TO COUNCIL, CERTAIN POINTS, FINE WITH THAT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THE QUESTION, WHY, UH, WHEN THE INITIAL, UH, PROJECT WAS SUBMITTED TO P AND G, IT DIDN'T INCLUDE THE 93 FEET OR THESE ADJUSTMENTS THAT ARE NOW BEING MADE.

WE, OUR SITE PLAN INCLUDED ALL THE EQUIPMENT, BUT 92 FEET IS ACTUALLY A STATIC MASK.

IT'S LIKE AN ANTENNA.

THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT THAT EQUIPMENT IS.

AND SO I DON'T.

SO WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TOTAL HEIGHT, IT'S 92 FEET, BUT IN ACTUALITY, ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT WAS ON THE SITE PLAN THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE CITY.

WE JUST DIDN'T ACCOUNT FOR THE 92.

THE, THE ANTENNA IS BASICALLY WHAT IT IS.

AND THE SETBACKS ALSO ARE WHAT THE SETBACKS WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH RELATED TO DRAINAGE, UH, SPECIFICALLY.

AND SO, UM, THERE'S, UM, SOME ENGINEERING ISSUES RELATED TO THAT, BUT WE WILL, WE'LL BE HAPPY TO TALK TO PLANNING AND ZONING ABOUT IT.

YOU JOYS, WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE? SO WE HAD A MOTION AND A SECOND JUST WITHDRAW, CORRECT? NO ACTION.

YOU ALL DO NOT NEED TO TAKE FURTHER ACTION.

SOMEONE CAN WITHDRAW THAT MOTION

[00:30:01]

AND YOU CAN MOVE ON.

I WITHDRAW MY MOTION, BUT I DO WANT TO SAY MAYOR THAT, UH, I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO RIDE AROUND WITH ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER MARTEL, UM, A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND, YOU KNOW, TALKING ABOUT THE CORRIDOR, TEXAS PARKWAY, CARTWRIGHT CORRIDOR, BEAUTIFICATION, AND OTHERWISE, AND THIS CAME UP OF COURSE, BEFORE IT CAME BEFORE.

AND I KNEW IT WENT BEFORE A P AND Z, UH, BUT WITH THE LANDSCAPING AND THE UPGRADE OF MODERNIZATION RELATIVE TO THESE UTILITIES IS GOING TO MAKE, UM, THE TEXAS PARKWAY COURT, RIGHT CORRIDOR, UH, LOOK A LOT BETTER, UH, WITH THIS OLD, UM, EQUIPMENT THAT'S CURRENTLY THERE.

UM, I DO HAVE A QUESTION THOUGH.

UH, WHAT ARE YOU ALL PLANNING TO DO WITH THE EXISTING, UH, LAND THAT'S WE'RE GOING TO REMOVE THE EQUIPMENT THAT EQUIPMENT WAS INSTALLED IN 1955.

WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING TO DO WITH THE ACTUAL LAND LOCATION? WELL, WE DO HAVE A TRANSMISSION BORDER.

THERE, THERE IS EXISTING POWER LINES, SO IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE, SIR, IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE USED AS A TRANSMISSION CORRIDOR FOR ELECTRICAL SERVICE.

SO WITH ALL OF THE WIRE FENCING WITH THE SLATS, IS ALL THAT GOING TO BE REMOVED? UH, YES, SIR.

ON, ON THREE SIDES, THERE WILL BE A, UH, A WALL, UH, UH, UH, A STATIONARY WALL MASONRY WALL.

AND THEN ON THE THIRD SIDE THAT FACES THE TRANSMISSION EASEMENT, IT'LL BE A LOWER, IT'LL BE FENCING.

YOU HEARD ABOUT QUESTION? I'M SORRY, WHAT WAS YES, YES.

I THOUGHT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE MICROPHONE.

NO.

SO, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER BONEY SAID, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THIS WILL BE AN IMPROVEMENT, LANDSCAPING WISE FACING TEXAS PARKWAY, WHICH IS, UH, YOU KNOW, ONE OF OUR GOALS IS TO DO THINGS THERE THAT MAKE IT, UH, YOU KNOW, MORE ATTRACTIVE AND MORE, UH, UH, AMENABLE TO, UH, TO VISITORS.

AND OUR GOAL IS MAKE SURE THEY HAVE RELIABLE ELECTRICITY.

THAT'S PARAMOUNT.

AND CAN YOU GO BACK TO THAT? CAN YOU GO BACK TO THAT ONE, ONE PICTURE WITH THE DUEL? YEAH.

SO I'M JUST LOOKING AT WHAT YOU GUYS SHARE HERE, JENNIFER, MAYBE WITH BNZ THAT IF YOU CAN LOOK AT IT, INSTEAD OF HAVING THOSE LOW ENTRIES, IF YOU CAN HAVE SOME ITALIAN CYPRESSES THAT WOULD COVER BECAUSE THEY GROW PRETTY TALL.

SO THAT WOULD HAVE MORE THAN THE 10 FEET.

THEY'D GO UP TO 25 TO 30 FEET.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT FOR P AND Z ENOUGH FOR US FOR TONIGHT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SO THE MOTION WAS WITHDRAWN BY AND MAY I APPROACH YOU HAD A SECOND LINE AS WELL? I DIDN'T NOTICE ANY PROTEST LETTERS EITHER, BUT I DO WITHDRAW FOR FURTHER REVIEW.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY, TEXAS CHANGING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF 6.28 ACRES OF LAND FROM EL C3 RETAIL DISTRICT TO PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT DESCRIBING SAID 6.28 ACRES OF LAND REGULATING AND RESTRICTING THE DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF PROPERTY WITHIN SUCH PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AMENDING THE ZONING DISTRICT MAP OF THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY, PROVIDING FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, PROVIDING FOR REPEAL, PROVIDING A PENALTY AND CONTAINING OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

ITEM 7 83,

[7 (a) (3) Planned Development District - KM Township Square, LLC. Public Hearing to receive comments for or against a request by KM Township Square, LLC, to rezone an approximate 6.28 acre tract of land to PD, Planned Development District to allow for flexibility and innovation in design allowing for the redevelopment of an existing commercial retail center; and to the extent such zoning deviates from the Future Land Use and Character map of the Comprehensive Plan, to provide for an amendment therefrom; and consider a related ordinance on the first of two readings. Proposed presenter: Jennifer Thomas Gomez, Director of Development Services]

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL AT TOWNSHIP SQUARE, WHICH I'M SURE EVERYONE IS VERY FAMILIAR WITH.

IT WAS CONSTRUCTED ALMOST 40 YEARS AGO, UM, IN 1984 AND AS PUBLICIZED BY THE NEW OWNERS, UH, THEY ARE LOOKING TO DO A COMPLETE REMODEL, UM, OF THOSE EXISTING BUILDINGS.

UH, SO YOU SEE THE AREA, THE SITE LOCATION IS AT 10 TO 90 FM TO 92 IN TOWNSHIP LANE.

IT CONSISTS OF ABOUT, UH, FOUR BUILDINGS, UH, THAT ALLOW FOR COMMERCIAL RETAIL USES.

WE HAVE A LOT OF A LONG TIME, UH, RESTAURANTS AND BUSINESSES THAT ARE LOCATED WITHIN THAT CENTER.

AND SO THIS IS A SITE PLAN THAT SHOWS YOU AT ANOTHER VANTAGE POINT OF, UH, WHAT THAT CENTER LOOKS LIKE FROM THE TOP.

SO THE PURPOSE OF THIS ZONING CASE, THE CURRENT ZONING ALLOWS FOR THE MIX OF BUSINESSES THAT, UM, HAVE ENJOYED, UH, IT'S OPERATING OUT OF THIS FACILITY.

SO THE USERS ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE ATTENTION IS NOT TO RELOCATE OR REMOVE ANY OF THE LONG STANDING BUSINESSES IN THAT LOCATION.

BUT THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO ZONE IT FROM EL C3, WHICH IS A STRAIGHT COMMERCIAL DISTRICT TO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TO ALLOW FOR SOME FLEXIBILITY IN SIGNAGE, UM, AS IT RELATES TO THE REDEVELOPMENT.

SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE PERSPECTIVES THAT THE CURRENT OWNER HAS RELEASED, UH, TO KIND OF

[00:35:01]

ENVISION WHAT THAT CENTER WOULD BE CREATED TO LOOK LIKE, RECREATE IT, TO LOOK LIKE THE FOCUS ON, UM, OUTDOOR, UM, KIND OF COMMUNITY GATHERING PLACES, UM, MORE, UH, KIND OF PEDESTRIAN SCALE, UH, DESIGNS.

AND SO THIS IS ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE.

UM, AND AGAIN, THE INTENT IS NOT TO RELOCATE OR REMOVE ANY OF THE EXISTING BUSINESSES.

UM, THERE'S SIGNAGE IN THERE WITH DIFFERENT BUSINESS NAMES.

UM, BUT THAT'S JUST FOR, UH, JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT THE CENTER COULD LOOK LIKE.

AND THEN THIS IS THE LAST PERSPECTIVE THAT WAS INCLUDED.

SO WHAT YOU HAVE YOUR PACKET OF INFORMATION INCLUDES WHAT WE CALL A MASTER SIGNED PLAN THAT WOULD PROVIDE UNIFORM STANDARDS FOR SIGNAGE, ANY SIGNAGE THAT'S PLACED ON THE BUILDING WALLS.

SO WHERE YOU SEE A STEAK AND FISH, UM, EVEN THE, THE MURAL THAT YOU SEE, UH, KIND OF GOING UP THE TOWER WITH THE BIRDS, UH, THE POSITIONING OF THE SIGNAGE ON CANOPIES, UM, AND, UM, NON-TRADITIONAL KIND OF WAYS, BUT ARE MORE URBAN, UM, UH, KIND OF, UH, DESIGNS.

UM, OUR CURRENT SIGN ORDINANCE WOULD NOT PERMIT THIS.

UM, SO IF, UM, YOU KNOW, COUNCIL HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW SOME OF THE DEFINED TYPES THAT ARE SHOWN IN THAT MASTER SIGNED PLAN.

UM, THAT IS WHAT THE RECOMMEND RECOMMENDATION IS ON, UM, BEFORE YOU, UH, SO THAT ORDINANCE WOULD ADOPT THAT MASTER SIGNED PLAN ALLOW FOR THE POSITIONING OF THE SIGNS HAS SHOWN, UM, AND THEN ALLOW FOR, UH, SOME OF THE, THE, UH, SITE LAYOUT, SUCH AS WHERE THE GARBAGE CAN IS LOCATED, THINGS LIKE THAT, UM, TO, UH, BE PLACED AS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN, UH, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION UNANIMOUSLY VOTED A POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION, UH, FOR THIS CONSIDERATION STAFF RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, UM, AS WELL.

UH, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT THE CURRENT OWNER IS PROPOSING AND WHAT STAFF RECOMMENDATION WAS, WAS ON THE MONUMENT SIGNS.

UM, THERE'S A PERSPECTIVE THAT'S INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKAGE OF INFORMATION.

UM, IF YOU KNOW, MISSOURI CITY FREESTANDING SIGNS, UH, THE DESIGN STANDARDS REQUIRE THE SIGN FACE, WHERE YOU SEE THE DISPLAY AREA TO BE IN CASE THAT A MASONRY PRODUCT USUALLY MATCHING, UH, THE BUILDING.

UM, I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT'S THE SIGNATURE OF MISSOURI CITY.

UM, AND YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU DRIVE IN AND OUT, UM, EVEN IN OUR NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES.

UM, SO IT HAS BEEN A STAPLE, UM, IN THIS PARTICULAR, UH, DESIGN THEY'RE TRYING TO REUSE THE BASE FOUNDATION OF THOSE EXISTING SIGNS, AND THEY ARE ASKING, THEY ARE ASKING FOR CONSIDERATION, UM, TO NOT ENCASE THOSE IN A MASONRY PRODUCT, THE ORDINANCE BEFORE YOU WOULD REQUIRE IT.

UM, SO IF COUNCIL WANTS TO ENTERTAIN IT, IT WOULD REQUIRE AN AMENDMENT TO THE ORDINANCE THAT YOU HAVE.

SO THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR TONIGHT.

IS THERE A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING? I REMEMBER THAT WE OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARINGS.

IT'S AN EMOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM MOROSE SECOND BY COSTUMER KLAUSER, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, PLEASE SAY, AYE, THOSE OPPOSED TO THE MOTION.

DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC HEARING PUBLIC? NO.

IS THERE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? OKAY.

SO, SO IT'S BEEN BY A COUNCIL MEMBER EMORY SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM.

MEROLA'S ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION.

PLEASE SAY, AYE, ALL THOSE OPPOSED TO THE MOTION, PLEASE SAY, NO MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

WE HAVE, THIS IS THE TIME TO ALLOW IT TO ASK QUESTIONS, COUNSEL, DISCUSSION.

JENNIFER, COULD WE ASK THEM TO CONSIDER CHANGING THOSE MONUMENT SIGNS IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT.

THAT THAT IS OUR STAPLE THAT KIND OF TIES EVERYTHING TOGETHER, BUT THEY HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO SPEND, TO GET TO WHERE THEY NEED TO BE FIRST.

DEFINITELY.

AND THEN WHAT DO YOU ANTICIPATE AS FAR AS THE, UH, THE STARTUP, I MEAN, IS, ARE THEY GOING TO DO ONE BUILDING AT A TIME? AND SO WHAT'S BEEN CONVEYED TO US, UM, IS THIS, THIS IS A SINGLE PHASE, SO THEY'RE NOT EXPECTING TO DO, UM, YOU KNOW, ONE BUILDING AT A TIME PER SE.

UM, THE SCHEDULE THAT SHOULD BE WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, UH, THAT WE SHOULD START TO SEE PERMIT APPLICATIONS THAT'S APPLICABLE, UM, AND MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS.

SO THE EXPECTATION RIGHT NOW IS IT WOULD BE ONE PROJECT, UM, THAT THEY WOULD COME.

AND SO THE TENANTS THAT ARE THERE NOW WILL GET SIGNS, THE TENANTS THAT AREN'T, THAT THE VACANCIES WE'LL JUST GET A BLANK.

AND THEN WHEN THOSE NEW TENANTS COME IN AND THEY PURCHASE THE NEW.

TO TALK ABOUT THIS OR IS IT GOING TO BE SURPRISE? YEAH.

AND WHAT THE MASTER SIGNED PLAN, UH, THAT WOULD BE ATTACHED TO THIS ORDINANCE WOULD LAY OUT IS THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY THAT THE OWNER HAS A, THEY'LL HAVE A DESIGN REVIEW STANDARD.

UM, AND SO THOSE TENANTS WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND THEN, UM, GO THROUGH THE CITY'S PERMITTING PROCESS.

AND HAVE THEY ACTUALLY MET WITH THE TENANTS

[00:40:01]

AND THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION BECAUSE I THINK WE'VE GOTTEN A MIXED REACTION FROM SOME OF THE TENANTS COSTLY.

I HAD A QUESTION, JENNIFER, ON HIS SIGNAGE, UH, NOT LONG AGO, SEVERAL OF THE, UH, TENANTS, UH, PUT IN NEW SIGNS.

I GOT AN, I GUESS, A WAIVER FROM THE OWNER THAT, UH, WE COULD, UH, THEY COULD USE, UH, A, UH, A CONSISTENT WHITE, YOU KNOW, SIGNAGE, UM, YOU KNOW, BLACK SIGNAGE, UH, WHEN THE, UH, NEW SIGN ARTISTS, UM, GENERAL, WE ARE, THOSE TENANTS EXPECTED TO CHANGE OUR RELAY, BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN BECAUSE THEY SPENT QUITE A FEW DOLLARS OUT OF THEIR POCKET TO HAVE THAT, UH, UH, TYPE OF SIGNAGE THAT THEY WANTED.

SO, YES.

AND WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER EMORY IS REFERRING TO, IF YOU, UM, ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE TOWNSHIP, THEY HAD THE GREEN PANELS THAT WERE NOT ILLUMINATED WITH GOLD TRIM, GOLD LETTERING.

UM, SO SEVERAL YEARS AGO, UH, TENANTS WANTED TO MODERNIZE, UM, AND MAKE THEIR SPACES MORE VISIBLE.

SO THEY, UH, CHANGE THEIR SIGN PACKAGE TO, UH, BE CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY STANDARDS FOR WHITE INTERNALLY ELIMINATED CHANNEL LETTERS.

UM, AND SO, UH, SEVERAL OF THE TENANTS AND NEW TENANTS THAT HAVE GONE IN SINCE THAT TIME, UM, HAVE ADOPTED THAT SIGNAGE, THE CITY'S REQUIREMENT WOULDN'T REQUIRE THOSE TENANTS TO CHANGE THEIR SIGNS.

THIS JUST GIVES MORE FLEXIBILITY, UH, FOR THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY, PROPERTY OWNERS TO CONSIDER ALTERNATIVE SIGNED THAT ARE STILL TASTEFUL WHAT'S, UH, WHAT'S THE TIME OF COMPLETION FOR THIS.

ONCE THEY START ON THE CONSTRUCTION, UM, WE CAN HAVE THAT IN THE PACKAGE FOR THE SECOND READING OF THE ORDINANCE, IF APPROVED, UM, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE SPECIFIC TIMELINE FROM THEM, RIGHT.

WE PUT IN THE MOST FUTURE MONUMENTS, OR YOU JUST WANT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION.

IF YOU DO THE MA THE MOTION AS A STANCE, NOW IT WOULD REQUIRE THEM TO PUT, UH, THE MASONRY ENCASEMENT CAUSE IT'S MPV ANYWAY, RIGHT.

THAT'S JENNIFER, EXCUSE ME.

BUT DID YOU SAY THAT WE NEEDED, WE, THE COUNCIL NEEDED TO, UH, TAKE SOME ACTION ON, UH, ASSIGN ORDINANCE THAT WOULD ALLOW SOME OF THE, UH, DIFFERENT TYPES OF WRAPPING OF THE BUILDINGS.

UH, AND FROM THE STANDPOINT OF SIGNAGE, LIKE, UH, HERE, THIS WILL BE CAPTURED IN THE MASTER SIGNED PLAN THAT'S PRESENTED.

SO IF YOU ADOPT THAT MASTER ASSIGNED PLAN, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE THAT FLEXIBILITY.

SECOND ITEM 7, 4 7, 8, 4,

HI, THERE'S BEEN A MOTION BY, WELL, HASN'T BEEN, UM, ALL RIGHT.

SO IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE AS PRESENTED BY CITY STAFF? I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE ORDINANCE AS PRESENTED BY STAFF SECOND AND EMOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM.

MEROLA'S SECOND BY CUSTOMER.

RABBONI EMERY THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION.

PLEASE SAY, AYE, THOSE OPPOSED TO THE MOTION.

PLEASE SAY NO MOTION CARRIES SEVEN OH WITH COUNCIL MEMBER EMORY.

[7 (a) (4) Zoning Map Amendment - Vrindavan. Public Hearing to receive comments for or against a request by Trimcos Engineering, LLC, to zone approximately 13.67 acres of land from PD, Planned Development No. 105 (Ordinance O-18-01) to R-2 single-family residential; and to the extent such zoning deviates from the Future Land Use and Character map of the Comprehensive Plan, to provide for an amendment therefrom; and consider a related ordinance on the first of two readings. Proposed presenter: Stori Nuri, Planner I]

THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY, TEXAS CHANGING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF 13.68 ACRES OF LAND FROM PLAN DEVELOPMENT, DISTRICT NUMBER 1 0 5 TO OUR TWO SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT DEPICTING SAID TRACT OF LAND AFFECTED THEREBY AMENDING THE ZONING DISTRICT MAP OF THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY, PROVIDING FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, PROVIDING FOR REPEAL, PROVIDING A PENALTY, PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND CONTAINING OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL THAT WE RECEIVED AN APPLICATION FROM TRIM COAST ENGINEERING TO ZONE AND APPROXIMATE 14 ACRE TRACT OF LAND FROM PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

NUMBER 1 0 5 TO ART TWO SINGLE FAMILY.

THE PD CURRENTLY ALLOWS FOR MULTIFAMILY, WHICH IS ADRIAN SHIFTED TO 55 AND OLDER.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DID FORWARD A POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE ZONING AMENDMENT TO R TWO SINGLE FAMILY.

RESIDENTIAL.

THE SITE IS LOCATED ON STAFFORD TRI ROAD, NORTH OF RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION AND WEST OF THE HUNTER'S RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION.

THE ZONING CHANGE TO OUR TWO WOULD ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION THAT WOULD INCLUDE A COMMUNITY, BUILDING A COMMUNITY PARK AROUND THE ONSITE DETENTION WATER FEATURE.

AND THIS WOULD BE A GATED COMMUNITY WITH PRIVATE STREETS.

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

AND BECAUSE THIS IS ZONING MAP AMENDMENT, THERE IS NO REQUESTED DEVIATIONS TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

THE APPLICANT WOULD FOLLOW ALL REQUIREMENTS AS APPLICABLE IN THE CODE OF ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC

[00:45:01]

INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN MANUAL.

AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE THIS EVENING TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

IS THERE A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING? OH SHIT, BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER EMORY SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER, STERLING THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, PLEASE SAY, AYE.

DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC HEARING? YES, SIR.

IS THERE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? WE'LL MOVE.

IS THERE A SECOND? THANK YOU, STERLING.

UM, COUNCIL MEMBER MOTION BY CUSTOMER A BONY SECOND BY CUSTOMER NUMBER, STERLING THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, PLEASE SAY, AYE.

IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE AS PRESENTED BY CITY STAFF ORDINANCE? IT'S BEEN A MOTION BY COSTUMER CLOUDS OR IS THAT SECOND? SECOND? YES, SIR.

SO IS THERE A DISCUSSION? DO HAVE A QUESTION.

UM, SO THIS IS NOT IN PD OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, RIGHT? THIS IS JUST A CONCEPT.

IT'S NOT A PD.

IT WOULD GO FROM PD TO R TO SINGLE FAMILY.

AND THIS IS JUST A SKETCH SHOWING THE INDIVIDUAL HOMES.

SO THESE ARE THE RENDERINGS FOR THE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE HOMES.

AND THEN THIS WILL BE THE SITE PLAN, THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN OR THE SETTLEMENT.

ARE THESE GOING TO BE RENTALS OR ARE THEY GOING TO BE FOR SALE? THEREFORE SELL SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.

HOW MANY HOMES WE FINISH TALKING ABOUT ON THIS PROPERTY? I WILL REFER TO THE DEVELOPER 1 64.

THAT WAS A PREVIOUS DWELLING UNITS.

WHAT IS IT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU AT ALL.

I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

I'M SO SORRY.

UM, THERE THEY'D HAVE NOT PROVIDED A NUMBER OF, UM, SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT ARE GOING TO BE BUILT.

I BELIEVE THAT WILL PROBABLY BE ESTABLISHED DURING THE PLANNING PROCESS BASED OFF OF, UM, THE DETENTION THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO PROVIDE.

AND ANYTHING ELSE REQUIRED DURING THE POTTING PROCESS? UH, THE REASON I ASK THE QUESTION IS, UH, THE DEVELOPMENT OVER THERE WAS A KIND OF NAYA YEAH.

OR SOME, UH, SOME VERY NICE HOMES AND, YOU KNOW, THEY DID A GREAT JOB.

SO I GUESS WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR IS, DO WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO COMPLIMENT, UH, THAT AREA ALSO, UH, SO THAT WE CAN SEE A QUALITY DEVELOPMENT ON THAT SIDE OF, UH, OF THE AREA.

SO, SO AS FAR AS, UM, ENSURING THAT NOT REALLY THERE'S NOTHING, CAUSE IT'S JUST A STRAIGHT REZONING, IT WOULD BE, UM, AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING MAP.

SO IT WOULD JUST ALLOW THEM TO BUILD ANY PRODUCT.

UM, IN THAT AREA, IF IT WAS A PLAIN DEVELOPMENT, THEN WE WOULD HAVE, UM, A BIT MORE OF AN ASSURANCE OF THE TYPE OF HOUSING THAT WILL BE BUILT.

UM, BUT WHAT THEY HAVE PROVIDED IS THESE ARE THE RENDERINGS FOR THE TYPES OF HOMES THAT WILL BE BUILT FOR THEIR DEVELOPMENT.

OH, I GUESS I'D SAY, HAS PASSED THE MESSAGE ON TO WHAT WE'RE EXPECTING OUT OF THAT AREA, THE DEVELOPERS IN THE BACK, CORRECT.

IS THAT THE DEVELOPER IN THE BACK, SOMEONE STOOD UP, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ADDITIONAL TO ADD TO WHAT SHE JUST SAID? GOOD EVENING.

UH, WE, WE HAVE ROUGHLY ABOUT FOUR.

WE HAVE ROUGHLY ABOUT 60 HOUSES, 60, 60 YEARS, BUT THAT PROBABLY WILL CHANGE BASED ON THE, UH, CITY REGULATIONS.

AND, UH, THE, UH, PROTOTYPE THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW IS JUST A, A NEST SCHEMATIC, UH, FOR DISOWNING PURPOSE.

AND WE DEFINITELY, UH, WE'RE GONNA COMPLY WITH THE REGULATIONS AND, UH, THE VIEW OF THE SONG, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE SURE WE DO A GREAT JOB ON THE DESIGN IS GATED COMMUNITY.

WE SAID GATED COMMUNITY.

PRIVATE STREETS.

UM, NEIGHBORHOODS THAT YOU ALL HAVE DONE THAT MAYBE YOU CAN, UM, SHOW US RENDERINGS OF THOSE COMPARABLE NEIGHBORHOODS, OTHER DEVELOPMENTS AND OTHER MAYBE AREAS OF TOWN OR OTHER PLACES? I MEAN, CAUSE THIS IS JUST A PROTOTYPE, RIGHT, RIGHT.

ARE THERE ANY COMPARABLE,

[00:50:01]

BUT DO YOU HAVE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS WITH THE CONCEPT THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO BUILD? DO YOU ALREADY HAVE ANY EXISTING DEVELOPMENTS IN OTHER PLACES? UH, YES WE, OKAY.

CAN YOU PROVIDE SOME OF THOSE TOO? UM, YES.

MA'AM SO THAT THEY COULD SHARE WITH US.

MA'AM WAS MY MEMORY.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I HEARD YOU CORRECTLY.

YOU ASKED THEM IF THEY WILL BE PRIVATE STREETS AND HE SAID, YES.

I JUST WANTED TO KNOW FOR THE RECORD.

SO ARE YOU DOING TODAY, JENNIFER? IS THERE MAKING SURE THAT IF THIS GOES THROUGH, THEY'RE TURNING IT INTO A RESIDENTIAL, RIGHT? IT'S LIKE A FAMILY AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE ASKING TODAY WILL COME FORWARD WITH THEIR PLAN WHEN THEY'RE READY TO GO FORWARD.

IF THE ZONING IS CHANGED TO OUR, TO, UH, THEN THEIR PLANS WOULD JUST GO THROUGH THE PLANNING PROCESS, PERMITTING PROCESSES AS A STANDARD.

IT WON'T COME BACK BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OR CITY COUNCIL.

UM, SO THE PROTOTYPE THAT THEY'RE SHOWING, UM, THERE IT'S NOT LOCKED IN TO THAT DESIGN, UM, GOOD, BAD, INDIFFERENT, UM, THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT THEY PROVIDE, WE CAN INCLUDE IN THE PACKET OF INFORMATION, UH, TO COUNCIL AT THE SECOND READING OF THIS ORDINANCE.

SO YOU'RE TELLING ME, IN OTHER WORDS, THEY SHOWING ME THIS NOW AND THEY CAN HAVE SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T LOOK NOTHING LIKE THIS.

SO THE, THE STRAIGHT REZONING JUST MEANS THAT THOSE BASELINE STANDARDS, SO THAT ZONING DISTRICT OR WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ABIDE BY, WHAT IS IT TO SAY THAT THEY'LL HAVE GET A COMMUNITY? WHAT IS IT TO SAY THAT THEY WOULD HAVE A GATE AND A PRIVATE STREET? SO, AND THAT'S, THAT'S THE QUESTION.

UM, SO THEY'RE PRESENTING PRIVATE STREETS.

THEY'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROPERTY WAS PLANTED.

THEY'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND PLAT IT, UM, FOR THESE INDIVIDUAL LOTS.

AND AT THE TIME OF PLANTING, THEY'LL DEFINE PUBLIC PRIVATE STREETS AND THEN THE ASSOCIATED, UH, DESIGN STANDARDS THAT GO ALONG WITH THAT.

SO DID THIS GO TO A BNZ? YES.

SO THERE'S A GUARANTEE THAT, AND IF IT LOOKS LIKE THAT, THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE PROVIDED, BUT THAT, THAT IS NOT LOCKED IN THE ZONING THAT YOU'RE CONSIDERING TONIGHT, UH, DOES NOT REQUIRE THAT TO BE DEVELOPED.

WELL, THEY HAVE AN HOA, UM, UH, MAINTENANCE ON SITE TO MAKE SURE PROPERTIES.

AND SO IN GENERALLY THEY'LL HAVE AREAS THAT ARE COMMON OPEN SPACE, AND SO THEY HAVE TO CREATE A MECHANISM.

IF IT'S PRIVATE STREETS, THEY HAVE TO CREATE A MECHANISM TO MAINTAIN THAT PERMANENTLY.

THEY'VE SUBMITTED THE TRAFFIC WORKSHEETS.

I MEAN, FOR THE GENTLEMEN, I THINK WHAT YOU'RE HEARING IS WE WANT TO SEE A NICE QUALITY PRODUCT.

SO, YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE WE DO A GREAT JOB.

JENNIFER, COME BACK, COME LIKE Y'ALL ARE READY TO RUN AWAY FROM THAT.

SO WHAT HAPPENS WITH LIKE TRAFFIC STUDY IMPACTS THAT IT, CAUSE I KNOW THAT ROADWAY IS ONLY HOW ONE LANE, RIGHT? WHAT HAPPENS TO THE DRAINAGE? WHAT HAPPENS TO ALL OF THAT? SO THEY JUST GET, COME IN AND THEY JUST SHOW US SOMETHING AND THEN IT GETS APPROVED AND IT GETS DONE.

UH, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THIS IS A ZONING CASE THEY'RE TRYING TO GET TO YOU THE TYPE OF USE THAT THEY CAN USE ON THIS PROPERTY.

WE'VE ALREADY COMMENTED ON THE TRAFFIC.

SO TO SPEAK, ESTIMATING WHAT THE TRAFFIC IS.

AGAIN, THIS IS A CONCEPT.

THIS IS NOT FINAL, DEPENDING ON HOW MANY HOUSES THEY'RE GOING TO PUT, WHAT LEVEL OF CONCRETE, IMPERVIOUS AREA THEY'RE GOING TO PUT, THAT'S GOING TO DETERMINE WHAT AMOUNT OF DETENTION THEY NEED AS WELL AS HOW MUCH VOLUME OF TRAFFIC THERE'S GENERATING AND WHAT THE MITIGATION NEED IS.

SO AGAIN, THIS IS JUST A CONCEPT WE'RE NOT APPROVING THE SITE PLAN, SO TO SPEAK, THIS IS A ZONING CASE FOR A PARTICULAR USE.

AND AS THEY GO THROUGH THE PERMITTING PROCESS, ENGINEERING AS PLAN, AS WELL AS PLANNING, WE'LL LOOK INTO THAT AND APPROVE THOSE TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS MITIGATION DONE TO ADDRESS THE TRAFFIC IMPACT AS WELL AS THE DRAINAGE, UH, UH, IN TERMS OF THE ENGINEERING ITEMS, TRAFFIC AND THE DRAINAGE, IT GOES THROUGH THE CITY ENGINEER'S OFFICE.

SO IT DOES NOT COME TO THE CITY COUNCIL OR PLANNING AS ON NONE OF THAT.

TYPICALLY NOT MARION COUNCIL, JUST TO CLARIFY TOO, THOUGH, YOU'D HAVE ADOPTED AND RATIFIED THE NOT GRANDPA

[00:55:01]

BIRD ADOPTED THE STANDARDS BY WHICH IT'S BEING, UH, THE, UH, SHASHI FOR DRAINAGE FOR TRAFFIC AND ALL IS DEFINED.

AND SO COUNCIL HAS HAD ITS ACTION IN THAT RESPECT.

I MEAN, IT, IT IS, IT IS WHAT IT IS MEAN.

IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT, YOU KNOW, CAN'T SHOW ME SOMETHING AND IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT ONE IS BUILT OUT.

THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH OUR COMMUNITY? NOT SAYING WHAT COMES TO ACTION IS TAKEN IS, IS DIFFERENT.

THAT, WASN'T MY QUESTION TO BEGIN WITH.

THIS IS WHAT MISSOURI CITY ENDS UP THE WAY IT IS BECAUSE WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT COME IN HERE, SHOW US WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE.

AND AT THE END, IT'S NOT WHAT IT IS.

SO.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY, TEXAS CHANGING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF 49.75 ACRES OF LAND FROM LLC TO LOCAL RETAIL DISTRICT TO PD PLANS, DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NUMBER DESCRIBING SAID 49.75 ACRES OF LAND REGULATING AND RESTRICTING THE DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF PROPERTY WITHIN SUCH PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AMENDING THE ZONING DISTRICT MAP OF THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY, PROVIDING FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WRITING FOR REPEAL, PROVIDING A PENALTY, PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND CONTAINING OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT.

SO HAS ANY OF THE DISCUSSIONS, ALL RIGHT, MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER KLAUSER SECOND BY COUNCILMAN RABBONI.

UM, THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, PLEASE SAY, AYE, THOSE OPPOSED TO THE MOTION, PLEASE SAY NO MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO ITEM 7, 8, 5,

[7 (a) (5) Public Hearing to receive comments for or against a request by Andrea Metz, Lovett Commercial, to zone approximately 50 acres of land to PD, Planned Development District to allow for a mixed use development to include retail, commercial uses, including restaurants and cafes, flex spaces, artist studios, outdoor gathering spaces, indoor recreational facilities, ministorage, and residential; and to the extent such zoning deviates from the Future Land Use and Character map of the Comprehensive Plan, to provide for an amendment therefrom. Proposed presenter: Stori Nuri, Planner I]

SO THIS APPLICATION IS, ARE IN LOVE WITH COMMERCIAL IS ON APPROXIMATELY 50 ACRES OF LAND ALONG HIGHWAY SIX, FROM LC TO, TO A PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

THESE ZONING CHANGE WOULD ALLOW FOR A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING RETELLING COMMERCIAL USES RESTAURANTS AND CAFES, ARTIST STUDIOS, INDOOR RECREATIONAL FACILITIES, MINI STORAGE, AND RESIDENTIAL USES THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE PD FOR ALL OF THE LISTED USES.

THE SUBJECT SITE INCLUDES MULTIPLE TRACKS OF LAND LOCATED NORTH AND SOUTH OF STATE HIGHWAY SIX EAST AND WEST OF WATTS PLANTATION DRIVE AND EAST OF NORTH CREEK MOUNT DRIVE.

THESE ZONING APPLICATION WAS ORIGINALLY PRESENTED TO CITY COUNCIL IN JUNE.

THE APPLICANT HAS SINCE HAD A FEW COMMUNITY OUTREACH MEETINGS WITH THE LOCAL RESIDENTS AND THE HOA AND THE APPLICATION PROVIDED TODAY IS A REVISED CONCEPT PLAN.

THAT INCLUDES A MULTITUDE OF USES, WHICH CAN GENERALLY BE IDENTIFIED AS EL C3, RETAIL STORAGE AND RESIDENTIAL.

SO JUST TO RUN THROUGH THE USES PROPOSED IN THIS PD, ATTRACT A, IS A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD CONSIST OF AGE RESTRICTED, SENIOR LIVING OR SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS.

THE ATTRACT WILL FOLLOW THE RESTRICTIONS OF THE RSX CONDOMINIUM RESIDENTIAL USE DISTRICT.

THE PROPOSED USE FOR TRACK B AS A MIX OF OFFICE AND RETAIL SPACES, AS WELL AS A RESTAURANT OR CAFE PROXY INCLUDES A MEDICAL CARE FACILITY, A FLEX SPACE, AND A MINI STORAGE TO SERVE THE NEARBY RESIDENTS.

THE PROPOSED USES FOR ATTRACTING INCLUDE OFFICE AND RETAIL SPACES, A RESTAURANT OR CAFE, AS WELL AS AN INDOOR RECREATIONAL FACILITY TRACK.

HE INCLUDES A GROCERY STORE, DENTAL CARE OFFICE, CONDOS, ARTIST STUDIOS, INDOOR REC FACILITY, AND RESTAURANTS OR CAFES AS WELL.

AND THEY USE IS DESCRIBING THIS PLAIN DEVELOPMENT AND WE'LL FOLLOW THE LAYOUT OF THE SITE PLAN AND WILL NOT BE RELOCATED ELSEWHERE.

THE PROPOSED PD IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH MULTIPLE GOALS OF THE 2017 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, INCLUDING PROVIDING A VERY DEVELOPMENT TO MOVE BEYOND A BEDROOM COMMUNITY PERCEPTION OF MISSOURI CITY RECRUITING VARIOUS LIFESTYLE AMENITIES.

SO THEY CAN BE ENJOYED LOCALLY AS WELL AS ENCOURAGING MULTIPLE HOUSING TYPES AND FOUR PLANS TO OFFER A VARIETY OF HOUSING CHOICES TO RESIDENTS AND THE LONGEVITY OF A NEIGHBORHOOD, ESPECIALLY IN SUBURBAN AREAS, RELIES ON THE PROXIMITY OF BOTH HOUSING AND AMENITIES THAT CAN BENEFIT A VARIETY OF RESIDENTS.

IN REGARDS TO DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, ANY CULTURAL RECREATIONAL OR SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONAL PLACE OF ASSEMBLY WOULD BE PERMITTED PLACE OF ASSEMBLIES SHOULD BE PERMITTED TO LOCATE A MEDIUM PROFILE MONUMENT SIGN, UTILIZING A DESIGN SIMILAR TO THE DEPICTION OF THE ART SIGN LOCATED IN THE STORE YARDS DEVELOPMENT AND ANY WALL SIGNAGE FOR THESE USES SHOULD BE PERMITTED DEPICTED FOR THE ROOFTOP CINEMA CLUB AND THE SILOS.

ALL OTHER DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, INCLUDING ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS, UTILITIES AND SIDEWALKS WILL FOLLOW THE REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS OF THE MISSOURI CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN MANUAL.

AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE TODAY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

IS THERE A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING? YEAH, IT'S BEEN A MOTION BY MAYOR PORT TOMORROWS.

SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER EDWARDS GOES IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, PLEASE SAY, AYE.

MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

PLEASE SAY NO

[01:00:01]

IS THERE ANY PUBLIC HEARING? YES, SIR.

THERE ARE TWO VERY RAW I'M SO SORRY.

MY NAME IS MARY ROMS AND RESIDED AT 25 OR SEVEN SHUTTLES DRIVE.

AND I'M HERE TO PROTEST ITEM SEVEN A FIVE.

UM, BASICALLY BECAUSE IT IS ALREADY ZONED , WHICH DOES NOT, WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW RESIDENTS.

THE DEVELOPER CAME TO OUR COMMUNITY SAYING THAT THEY WANTED TO DEVELOP ALL THE THINGS THEY WANT TO DEVELOP, INCLUDING HOUSING TO SUPPORT AMAZON, THE AMAZON FULFILLMENT CENTER, WHICH BROUGHT FIVE.

THEY BUY THEIR APPROXIMATION 500 JOBS.

THEY WANT TO DEVELOP 119 HOMES, NOT EVEN ONE EIGHTH OF A MILE DOWN THE STREET FROM CREEK, NOT EVEN AN EIGHTH OF A MILE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF HIGHWAY SIX, THERE IS ALREADY PAST PLANNING AND ZONING AND THERE'S A CONCEPT PLAN OR 500 PLUS APARTMENTS AND DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET ON HIGHWAY SIX P AND Z HAS PUT PAST, UH, 600 UNITS.

I KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE APARTMENTS OR WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE 600 OF THEM.

1100 UNITS, 500 JOBS THAT THIS DEVELOPER SAID THAT THEY WANT TO SUPPORT.

THEY WANT TO ADD THE HUNDRED 19 UNITS THAT THEY INTEND TO BUILD, OR THAT THEY PROPOSE BUILDING AS A RESONANCE, THIS AND A FEW CONDOS.

THEY, WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A NUMBER THAT IS VERY, THAT'S EXTREMELY DENSE.

AND FOR THE REASONS THAT THEY TOLD US THAT THEY'RE BUILDING IT, IT MAKES NO SENSE.

REALLY.

DOESN'T 11 MORE THAN 1100 UNITS.

AND AMAZON CLAIMS THAT IT BROUGHT 500 JOBS.

ALSO.

I PROTEST THAT WHEN LOVE IT DID MEET WITH, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES THEY MET WITH EVERYBODY ELSE, BUT WHEN THEY DID MEET WITH THE COMMUNITY, THEY, AGAIN, THEY DID NOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING.

AT FIRST, THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD, UM, CONSIDER, UM, THEY WOULD CONSIDER, THEY WOULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHAT WE ASK, BUT THEN THEY CAME BACK AND SAID THAT THEY MUST HAVE HOUSING.

THERE ARE OTHER THINGS TO BE CONSIDERED.

THERE WAS A, WE WANTED A GAS STATION CHANGED AND THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY WANTED TO CHANGE IT TO A GROCERY STORE.

AND THEN THEY CLAIMED THAT WE ASKED FOR IT.

IT DOESN'T BUILD TRUST IN THE COMMUNITY.

THREE MINUTES.

THAT'S THREE MINUTES.

SERVE ON THE BOARD OF CREEK.

MA'AM MY APOLOGIES.

MARK LLOYD.

UM, DO WE HAVE A TIMER ON, OR IS IT ON THE SCREEN WHERE IT'S IN FRONT OF THEM? CAN WE GET ANYTHING RIGHT TODAY? HOLD ON ONE SECOND, SIR.

THEY ASKED HIM, LET THEM TELL ME WHEN TO GO SUCCINCT, WHO CAN START THIS TIME OR WHEN HE STARTS SPEAKING.

UH, GOOD EVENING, MARK LLOYD 2 8 0 3 EVERHART TERRACE DRIVE, UM, UM,

[01:05:01]

MARK WAS THE PRESIDENT THIS PAST YEAR.

WE'VE ALL MET EACH OTHER OVER THIS ISSUE.

UH, SEVERAL TIMES I PROMISE I WON'T TAKE THREE MINUTES.

UM, BACK UP WITH MS. ROSS SAID TO SUMMARIZE REALLY WHAT THE ISSUE IS, IS THE COMMUNITIES FEELS A LACK OF TRUST WITH THE DEVELOPER.

IT'S NOT THAT WE'RE AGAINST DEVELOPMENT.

IT'S NOT THAT WE JUST WANT TO BE, UH, ANGRY FOR NO REASON.

UH, THE ACTIONS THAT DEVELOPER HAS TAKEN IS JUST NOT GIVEN THE COMMUNITY REALLY, ACCORDING TO THE POINT YOU MADE EARLIER, BUT THE LAST ITEM IS JUST, THEY CAN SAY THEY'RE GOING TO WHATEVER, BUT THERE'S REALLY NO GUARANTEES.

THERE'S ALL THE CONCEPTS YOU'VE SEEN HAVE BEEN.

THIS IS JUST CONCEPTUAL.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'LL DO TILL WE GET THERE.

IT'S MARKET-DRIVEN SO WE FEEL LIKE WE HAVE TO DIG OUR HEELS IN BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY GUARANTEES, ANY ASSURANCES THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE A GOOD PARTNER, THE BEHAVIOR THAT YOU'VE ALL WITNESSED AT OUR, AT OUR RECENT MEETING WITH, WITH THEM IN THE D AND THE CONFERENCES WE'VE HAD HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO, UM, ASSUAGE THOSE, THOSE SPHERES.

SO REALLY WHAT I WANT TO SAY IS, IS THE COMMUNITY IS, IS ASKING, UH, THAT, THAT WE, WE NOT MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS BECAUSE WE JUST DON'T TRUST THE DEVELOPERS.

UM, THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES.

THE RESIDENTIAL ONE BEING THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE IS WE AGREED, HEY, IF YOU CAN DO TOWNHOMES, THAT'S FINE.

WE THOUGHT WE HAD AN AGREEMENT WITH JUST TOWNHOMES.

AND WE CAME TO P AND Z.

THEY SLID IN CONDOMINIUMS, WHICH AS YOU KNOW, CAN EASILY BE CONVERTED TO APARTMENTS.

UM, IF THE MARKET SELL SUGGESTS.

SO WHAT WE REALLY ARE ASKING IS THAT, UH, THE, THE, THE UAS, THE COUNCIL REALLY PUSH BACK WITH THE DEVELOPERS AND HAVE THEM GIVE US SOME CONCRETE IDEAS OF WHAT THEY WANT OR, OR COMMITMENTS TO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.

LET'S CONSIDER IT AND A MOVE FORWARD.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IN TRACK, A WE'RE AGREEING WE'RE OPEN TO TOWNHOMES THAT ARE FOR SALE, NOT CONDOMINIUMS. UH, WE ARE NOT OPEN TO MORE SELF STORAGE OR MORE GROCERY STORES THAT WE ALREADY HAVE IN THE COMMUNITY.

SO YOU KNOW THAT THOSE ARE THE MAJOR ISSUES WE WANT TO WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER.

YOU WANT TO BE GOOD PARTNERS TO THE, SO YOU ALL, I SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT PERSONALLY, I'M READY FOR THE AREA TO BE DEVELOPED.

UM, WE JUST DON'T TRUST THAT THE DEVELOPERS ARE GOING TO ASK THAT.

AND UNTIL THAT THEY CAN DO MORE, UH, TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY THAT WE DON'T MOVE FORWARD UNTIL THAT TIME IS RIGHT.

SO THANK YOU.

DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ELSE? CAN WE HAVE MARY ROSS COME BACK UP HERE? I FEEL LIKE WE LIE TO GIVE YOU ONE MORE MINUTE OR ONE AND A HALF MINUTES.

PLEASE.

CAN WE PUT ONE AND A HALF MINUTES ON THERE? IT STAYS AT THREE.

THAT'S FINE.

GO AHEAD.

MA'AM I HAD MADE MOST OF MY POINTS, REALLY.

UM, BUT THERE IS ANOTHER ISSUE THAT CAME UP IN PLANNING AND ZONING.

AND WHEN THEY CAME, WHEN THE STAFF, WHEN THEY, OF COURSE THE STAFF GETS TO MAKE THEIR RECOMMEND THEIR PRESENTATION, THEY RECOMMENDED A DISAPPROVAL.

AND, UH, BECAUSE THE APPLICATION AT THE TIME WAS NOT COMPLETE.

AND JENNIFER PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.

COMMISSIONER ASKS DOES, HOW DOES IT GET PUT BACK INTO THE SYSTEM? IF IT CAN COMPLETE.

NOW, I'M NOT SAYING EVERYTHING THAT WAS SAID THAT DAY.

WE GAVE THEM A LIST OF ITEMS AND COMPLETE, AND THEY WILL NOT RESPOND.

AND JENNIFER'S ANSWER WAS THAT THEY, THAT THE DEVELOPER WAS NOT RESPONSIVE DURING THEIR PERIODS.

SO THEY HAVE TO GO BACK TO P AND Z.

UM, THEN THEY WENT INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION AND CAME BACK AND THEN TOOK THE VOTE, UM, AND VOTED, GAVE IT A FAVORABLE VOTING TO COME TO COUNCIL.

AND I JUST STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT MOVED FROM AN INITIAL THIS APPROVAL TO, UH, MOVING A VOTE, TO MOVE IT TO COUNCIL A FAKE, GIVE IT A BOTH TO GIVE IT A FAVORABLE, UH, MOVE TO COUNCIL.

IT MAKES NO SENSE.

THERE ARE NO OTHER PUBLIC HEARINGS.

IS THERE A MOTION TO CLOSE A PUBLIC PUBLIC HEARING? SECOND, IT'S BEEN A MOTION BY SECOND BY COUNCIL STERLING.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, PLEASE SAY, AYE.

ALL THOSE OPPOSED.

PLEASE SAY NO MOTION CARRIES SIX ONE.

THIS IS THE CLOSE OF PUBLIC

[01:10:01]

HEARING SEVEN.

OH, OKAY.

IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE, SO THE MOTION IS SEVEN.

OH, I'M CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SO A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE AS PRESENTED BY CITY STAFF.

I LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION OPEN MEANING FOR A CAR QUESTION TO THE DEVELOPER IF AGAIN, SO THERE HAS BEEN AN OPEN TO MOTION TO OPEN, TO HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH THE DEVELOPER.

IS THERE A SECOND? OKAY.

MAY I APPROACH AND COUNCIL MEMBER EMORY, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, SAY AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED? SAY NO.

UM, CAN YOU KIND OF WALK US THROUGH WHAT'S OVER HERE? CAN YOU KIND OF WALK US THROUGH WHAT CHANGED FROM KIND OF YOUR INITIAL PLAN TO WHERE WE'RE CURRENTLY AT? SURE.

THE FIRST TIME THAT WE BROUGHT IT IN JUNE ATTRACT A WAS ZONED FOR MULTI-FAMILY APARTMENTS AND WE, UM, HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR THAT THAT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT WAS DESIRED BY THE COMMUNITY.

SO WE BROUGHT IT BACK, UH, AND, UM, WE ARE NOW PROPOSING, UM, ONLY AGE RESTRICTED, SENIOR LIVING OR FOR SALE SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED, TOWNHOMES, CONDOMINIUMS, SINGLE FAMILY, DETACHED, UH, DUPLEXES, PATIO, OR CLUSTERS, SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS.

CAN YOU SAY THAT AGAIN PLEASE? SURE.

UH, WE HAD PREVIOUSLY PROPOSED MULTIFAMILY APARTMENTS ON TRACK DAY.

UH, WE HEARD VERY LOUD AND CLEAR THAT THAT WAS NOT DESIRED BY CREEK MONT.

SO WE CAME BACK AND WE HAVE NOW PROPOSED, UM, ONLY, AND THIS WILL BE PUT IN THE DEED RESTRICTIONS, UH, ONLY SENIOR LIVING OR FOR SALE TOWN HOMES, CONDOMINIUMS, SINGLE FAMILY, DETACHED DUPLEXES, PATIO, OR CLUSTERS, SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS.

ANY OTHER QUESTION FOR THE OTHER, UM, ITEMS THAT, UH, YOU CHANGED FROM THE INITIAL, THE ORIGINAL, UH, UH, PROPOSAL, UH, BASED ON SOME OF THE INPUT FROM THE, UH, UH, NEIGHBORS, UH, WE DID IT HERE, FEEDBACK THAT WHERE THE DETENTION, UH, AND LAKE WAS PLACED, UH, IT WAS ON HIGHWAY SIX.

UM, WE DID HEAR, UH, WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS A GREAT SUGGESTION TO PUT THAT LAKE IN THE BACK OF THE DEVELOPMENT SO THAT THE LAKEWOOD ABUT THE FAM THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, SO THAT THERE IS MORE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE HOMES AND ANY PROPOSED RETAIL OR OFFICE ON THAT SITE.

SO THERE WASN'T A, THERE WAS SORT OF A, THE HOA WANTED SOMETHING IN WRITING AND Y'ALL PROVIDED THAT.

RIGHT? CORRECT.

WAS THERE ANY CHANGES FROM WHAT YOU PROVIDED TO WHEN IT WENT TO P AND Z? UH, THIS LAST TIME, OR I'M SORRY.

I'M NOT CLEAR.

NO.

SO THAT WHEN WE MET THE HOA HAD ASKED TO PUT THINGS IN WRITING FOR THEM, AND YOU HAD PREPARED THAT IN YOUR HEAD, SEND IT OUT TO THEM.

WAS THERE ANY CHANGES FROM WHAT YOU SEND OUT WE'VE COMMITTED TO IN WRITING IS WHAT IS REMAINS THE SAME? SO JENNIFER IS THERE.

SO DID IT GO BACK TO BNZ AFTER THAT? AFTER THEY, THEY HAD PUT SOMETHING IN WRITING FOR THE HOA TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THIS IS WHAT THEY WERE PUTTING, THAT WAS THE NOVEMBER.

IT WAS ASKED AT THAT MEETING, YOU KNOW, SPECIFICALLY TO THE HOA W YOU KNOW, IF WE ARE ABLE TO GET FROM THE HOA, WHAT THEY WANTED WRITING AND, UH, LOVE, IT WAS ABLE TO AGREE WITH IT.

SO THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY OTHER CHANGES SINCE, SINCE WHAT WHAT'D THEY HAVE PUT, PUT FORTH WITH, WITH, TO THE HOA SAYING THAT THIS IS WHAT THEY'LL COMMIT TO, RIGHT.

IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS, I HAD A QUESTION, UH, CAUSE I, I KNOW I HAD, I WENT TO THE MEETING THAT WAS HELD, UH, ONE OF THE MEETINGS.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MEETINGS WERE HELD, BUT I KNOW WHEN I BECAME AWARE OF IT, I, I WENT TO A MEETING AND I KNOW, UH, IN THAT MEETING, UH, YOU MAYOR WERE THERE AND, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER EMORY, AND

[01:15:01]

UH, CAN WE MOVE FORWARD AND WITH THIS, AND I KNOW IN LOOKING AT THE EMAIL, UH, EXCHANGE, UH, I THINK THIS WAS FROM THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY.

UH, IT DID STATE THAT, UM, IN THE EVENT, RESIDENTIAL MUST BE CONSIDERED COMMUNITY IS RESPECTFULLY REQUESTED THAT LOVETT DEVELOPMENT EITHER DO A SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITY OR A TOWNHOME COMMUNITY IN WHICH ALL HOMES ARE SOLD AND NONE BE RETAINED AS RENTAL PROPERTIES.

UH, I KNOW THAT IN CHANGING THIS TO A PD COURSE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A MYRIAD OF THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO.

UH, I KNOW THEY WERE ON LIKE, UH, THE HOA PRESIDENT MENTIONED THEY WERE WANTING IT TO SPECIFICALLY JUST BE TOWNHOMES.

UM, BUT AS MS MES WAS JUST SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, THE PD ALLOWS FOR ALL THESE OTHER ONES, BUT THEY INDICATED THAT THEY'RE DOING THEM ALL FOR SALE, NOT FOR RENTAL.

SO THEY, I MEAN, I'M JUST SAYING BASED OFF OF THE EMAILS AND THE RESPONSES THAT THEY RE RESPONDED BACK, THEY AGREED IN WRITING TO DO THE THINGS THAT THE HOA HAD REQUESTED WITH THE EXCEPTION.

I MEAN, OF LIMITING IT, I GUESS IF YOU WILL, TO, TO, UM, THEIR RESPONSE WAS A MUST HAVE RESIDENTIAL AND TRACK DAY, BUT PER YOUR FEEDBACK AT THE CREEK MONT HOA MEETING ON OCTOBER THE SEVENTH AND VIA THIS WRITTEN COMMUNICATION, WE AGREE TO CREEK MODS REQUEST TO ONLY CONSIDER A SENIOR LIVING FACILITY OR FOR SALE TOWN HOMES, SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED CONDOS, SINGLE FAMILY, DETACHED DUPLEXES, PATIO, OR CLUSTER SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING, WHICH IS ALLOWED IN THE PD.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE, UH, DEVELOPER? I MEAN, FOR THE DEVELOPER HERE, YOU CAN HAVE A SEAT.

IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS ORDERS AS PRESENTED BY CITY STAFF? I LIKE TO MOVE TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE AS PRESENTED BY STAFF MAYOR.

MAY I MAKE A CLARIFICATION ON THE ORDINANCE BEFORE YOU ALL? UM, SO THE ORDINANCE THAT IS BEFORE YOU ALL SHOULD HAVE THE USES OF THAT WERE RECOMMENDED BY PNC.

UH, THOSE USES ARE DEFINED BY THE TRACKS.

SO I STORE I, UH, PRESENT IT.

UM, IT WOULD LOCK IN THAT SITE PLAN AS SUBMITTED, UH, WITH THE USES DISTINGUISHED.

THE USE IS, UH, DOES OUTLINE CONDOMINIUMS IN THERE.

AND SO IF THE APPLICANT IS PRESENTING, THE CONDOMINIUMS ARE NOT, UM, PART OF THE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL, UH, THEN COUNCIL CAN, UH, AMEND THE ORDINANCE THAT YOU HAVE TO REMOVE A CONDOMINIUMS AS ONE OF THE PROPOSED USES.

BUT THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE P AND Z FINAL REPORT IS WHAT A COUNCIL IS VOTING ON.

COUNCIL MEMBER BONIN.

YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT? WELL, YOU'RE THE DEVELOPER TO COME BACK.

CAN YOU COME BACK? SO MY QUESTION IS I'M HEARING WHAT THE HOA PRESIDENT STATES STATED ABOUT CONDOMINIUMS EARLIER, AND HIS CONCERN ABOUT THOSE, UH, OR YOU ALL AMENABLE TO, UH, REMOVING CONDOMINIUMS FROM THAT USAGE.

THAT WAS, YES.

THAT WE WENT TO, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STOOD OUT TO ME WAS A COUPLE OF RESIDENTS ACTUALLY HAD SPOKEN UP ABOUT A DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS TAKING PLACE IN THEIR COMMUNITY.

SO IT COMES SOMEWHERE MORE BONY.

I THINK YOU HAD AN ORIGINAL MOTION.

DO YOU WANT TO ADD, WHAT DO I HAVE TO, UH, DO I HAVE TO EAT JOYCE? MAKE MY STATED IN YOUR MOTION, YOU CAN SIMPLY STATE THAT YOU MOVED TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE AS A RECOMMENDED BY STAFF AND AS PRINTED IN THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REPORT.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE WITH AN AMENDMENT TO EXCLUDE CONDOMINIUMS AS STATED BY DIRECTOR JENNIFER THOMAS GOMEZ.

THAT'S BEEN EMOTION THERE A SECOND.

THERE'S BEEN A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER BONEY AND SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER.

EMORY, IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? YEAH, MARY, I JUST WANTED TO SAY I, AND IN THAT MEETING

[01:20:01]

THAT WASN'T A PART OF THE LOVE IT, UH, PROJECT.

AND, UH, THEY HAD, UH, UH, A RESTAURANT HEART'S CHICKEN AND A, A DONUT SHOP, AND THEY DIDN'T WANT THAT IN THEIR, THEIR COMMUNITY, BUT BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY ZONED AS SUCH, UM, YOU KNOW, IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE THAT THE PERSON THAT OWNED IT, YOU KNOW, CHOSE TO DO THAT DEVELOPMENT.

AND HERE YOU HAVE THIS DEVELOPER WHO IS WANTING TO PUT SOME QUALITY DEVELOPMENT THERE, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S THEIR PROPERTY.

AND SO THEY WERE TRYING TO PUT SOMETHING THERE AS I SAW IT.

AND I JUST FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, UH, UM, IT'S, IT'S HELPFUL TO ME THAT THEY MET WITH THE COMMUNITY COMMUNITY, STATED WHAT THEY WANTED.

I JUST HEARD FROM HOA PRESIDENT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, NOT BEING AGAINST DEVELOPMENT, BUT WANTING, YOU KNOW, THINGS THAT ARE NOT GOING TO IMPEDE ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE PEOPLE IN THAT AREA.

SO, UM, I'M JUST HAPPY THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH SOMETHING AS QUALITY IN THAT AREA.

AND WE DEFINITELY HOPE THAT YOU, UH, CONTINUE TO HOLD UP YOUR END OF THE BARGAIN THAT YOU'RE GOING TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON WHAT YOU SAY YOU'RE GOING TO DO, YOU KNOW, AND I'LL CONCUR WITH THAT TOO.

I MEAN, JUST SO WE ALL KNOW THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, WE, WE HAD THE MEETING, I WANT TO THANK AND COMMEND THE HOA PRESIDENT FOR ALLOWING THESE DISCUSSIONS TO TAKE PLACE AND FOR US TO SIT DOWN.

AND I KNOW THAT, AND I HEARD HIM LOUD AND CLEAR HERE THAT THEY HAD SOME, YOU CAN SAY, UM, YOU KNOW, UM, THERE'S SOME TRUST ISSUES.

AND THAT WAS PART OF THE REASON WHY I, AS THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBER BONY AND COUNCIL MEMBER EMORY HAS THOSE TWO, TWO OF THE CREEK MONTHS IN THEIR OWN DISTRICTS TO KIND OF SIT DOWN AND KIND OF WORK IT THROUGH.

AND I WANT TO COMMEND THAT HOA BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THE, THIS PROPERTY IS BEING PAYING TAXES FOR A LONG TIME, BUT THEY WANTED TO GET SOMETHING RIGHT, AND THEY NEEDED TO MOVE THIS FORWARD.

AND THAT'S WHY WE MADE SURE THAT YOU PROBABLY WILL NEVER SEE ANOTHER PD AGAIN, SIMILAR TO THIS WHERE YOU HAVE, UH, THE DEVELOPER IS SENDING OUT EMAILS IN WRITING TO SHOW THAT WHAT IS INCLUDED AND WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED.

AND IT GOT TO THAT LEVEL OF, TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, AT THE END OF THE DAY, OUR JOB IS TO PROTECT, UH, RESIDENTS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALSO BEING RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO THE LANDOWNERS AND DEVELOPERS AS WELL, TO MAKE SURE.

SO THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS CONSIDERED AND, AND DISCUSSED IT THROUGH.

AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS SEVERAL MEETINGS ON P AND Z.

THERE WERE SEVERAL MEETINGS THAT TOOK PLACE BACK AND FORTH, AND I HOPE WE CAN GET PAST THIS AND GET THAT, UM, DEVELOPMENT INTO WHAT WE NEEDED TO.

AND BY JUST BY THIS VOTER LOAN, DOESN'T RESTRICT THAT TOMORROW MORNING, THEY'RE GOING TO WAKE UP AND GO DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.

AND THEN IF IT'S WITH MPD SO THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO JENNIFER AND THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES HAVE CONTROL.

AND, UM, MOST OF THE ASPECT OF THAT BUILD OUT.

SO THIS WAY, THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU'RE NOT JUST GETTING ANYTHING THAT'S UP THERE.

YOU'RE GETTING SOMETHING THAT'S AS COUNCILMAN RABBONI JUST MENTIONED QUALITY OF LIFE.

AND THAT MEANS TO THAT, UH, THAT AREA AND TO, YOU KNOW, UH, AREAS SUCH AS HIGHWAY SIX AND, AND ALL OF THOSE WITH FOREBRAIN TOWN CENTER, ONE, TWO, AND THREE, THAT'S COMING OUT THERE TO, TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT ABOUT, AND IT WOULD MY COMMENT ON THAT.

ANYBODY ELSE THERE'S BEEN A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN RABBONI SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER, EMORY, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, SAY, AYE, AYE, ALL THOSE OPPOSED TO THE MOTIONS.

THEY KNOW MOTION CARRIES 7 0 7 FOR SEMI 7, 8, 6,

UH, I HAVE SEVERAL, UH, PRESENTERS HERE.

I'M NOT GONNA TAKE MUCH OF YOUR TIME, BUT LET ME TELL YOU ONE THING THAT I'VE BEEN WITH THE ORGANIZATION FOR LAST 30 PLUS YEARS, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SEVERAL CENTERS, THE THING IS GOING TO BE PRESENTED HERE, BUT, UH, THIS IS A SMALL COMMUNITY THAT RESIDES IN THAT AREA AND ALL THEY NEED IS A LITTLE COMMUNITY CENTER THAT THEY CAN GO TO ON A DAILY BASIS.

IT'S SMALL NUMBERS AND THEY ARE ALL HERE AND THEY'LL MAKE THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOU.

AMEN KABIR.

UH, 31 10 EAST SIDE STREET.

UM, I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE ISLAMIC SOCIETY OF GREATER HOUSTON, UM, HONORABLE MAYOR, HONORABLE COUNCIL MEMBERS.

UH, THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TODAY TO BE HERE WITH YOU.

ISLAMIC CITED, GRITTY.

HOUSTON IS THE LARGEST REGIONAL ISLAMIC ORGANIZATION IN NORTH AMERICA, UH, ESTABLISHED IN 1969, UH, WITH 22 CENTERS, UH, 10 OF WHICH ARE LARGE CENTERS, 12 ARE SMALLER SIZE.

UH, WE ARE LOOKING FOR YOUR FAVORABLE SUPPORT TODAY, UH, TO ADD THE 23RD CENTER AND WATCH PLANTATION.

THIS PARTICULAR CENTER WILL BE THE FIRST IN MISSOURI CITY.

UH, OUR CENTERS ARE IN FOUR COUNTIES, FORT BEND COUNTY, BRAZORIA COUNTY, HARRIS COUNTY, AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY.

AND WE'RE SO EXCITED TODAY WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO LIVE IN WATTS PLANTATION.

MANY OF WHOM ARE HERE WITH US TODAY TO SEE THIS 23RD CENTER, UH, ESTABLISHED, UH, AND PROVIDE SERVICES THAT WILL CATER TO THE LOCALITY SURROUNDING THIS LOCATION.

UM, WE HAVE GONE THROUGH TWO MEETINGS IN P AND Z.

THE FIRST MEETING, WE HAD A PLAN THAT WAS MUCH LARGER THAN WHAT YOU SEE HERE ON A SCREEN.

A LOT OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND OUR NEIGHBORS CAME FORWARD WITH MANY CONCERNS.

WE WENT BACK, WE HUDDLED TOGETHER ENSURED THAT WE ADDRESSED ALL OF THE CONCERNS THAT THE COMMUNITY HAD AS OUR CENTERS CATER NOT ONLY TO THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY, BUT RATHER TO THE LOCALITY IN WHICH THEY EXIST.

JUST TO GIVE YOU A PERSPECTIVE, UH, DURING HARVEY, WE HAD OUR CENTERS OPEN, UH, STAGING CENTERS.

AND, UH, AT THE TIME WE HAD A MASS SHELTERS AS WELL, YOU KNOW, WE'RE IN OUR STORM, THOSE CENTERS THAT HAD ELECTRICITY ON THEM, WE'RE WARMING CENTERS FOR THE COMMUNITY.

SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO NOT ONLY, UM, ESTABLISHING, CONTINUING THE RELATIONSHIPS WE HAVE WITH OUR NEIGHBORS AND THE MISSOURI CITY, BUT TO STRENGTHEN THAT PARTNERSHIP, THAT BEING SAID, UM, ON BEHALF OF THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WERE HERE.

WHEN I SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR PUBLIC SERVICE, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR SUPPORT AND ESTABLISHING THE CENTER.

THANK YOU, READING,

[01:30:01]

UH, MY NAME IS TAMEEM R TAWNY.

I AM THE, UH, APPLICANT PER SE, ON BEHALF OF THESE ISLAMIC SOCIETY OF GREATER HOUSTON.

UM, I STAND BEFORE YOU A 40 YEAR OLD MEN WITH THREE, THREE BOYS WHO GROW UP IN FORT BEND COUNTY.

THEY GO TO FORT BEND ISD SCHOOLS.

I, MYSELF, I'M A GRADUATE FROM FEMINISTS HIGH SCHOOL.

UM, I HAVE BEEN PART OF THIS ORGANIZATION FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS NOW, AND WE HAVE SEEN HOW THE COMMUNITY WORKS TOGETHER WHEN GIVEN THE CHANCE AND THE ISLAMIC SOCIETY OF GREATER HOUSTON IS BRINGING, BRINGING THAT CHANCE NOW TO MISSOURI CITY AND THE RESIDENTS OF MISSOURI CITY.

AND AS SAID EARLIER, THERE'S CURRENTLY NO, NO COMMUNITY CENTER IN, UM, IN THE MISSOURI CITY.

THERE'S ONE IN STAFFORD.

THERE'S ONE IN ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF SUGARLAND OFF OF 99 IN SANTOSHA.

AND THEN, UH, AND THEN THERE'S ONE IN STAFFORD BRANDON LANE, WHICH MOST OF YOU ARE PROBABLY MOST, UH, MOST VERSE WITH, UM, WHEN THE LAST MEETING, UH, HAPPENED, THE P AND Z, UH, WHEN WE RECEIVED THE UNANIMOUS APPROVAL, UH, WE AS A COMMUNITY, TOOK THE INITIATIVE TO REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO LIVE ACROSS THE STREET IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND WE INVITED THEM OVER, UH, TO COME OVER TO OUR PLACE AND GET THE FEEL OF WHO WE ARE AND TRYING TO GET TO KNOW THEM.

BUT I THINK DUE TO, UH, THANKSGIVING HOLIDAYS, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY WAS TRAVELING, WE WEREN'T SUCCESSFUL IN, UM, GETTING ANYONE TO COME OUT.

HOWEVER, LIKE I MENTIONED, LAST TIME WE ARE A FRIENDLY COMMUNITY AND WE SEEK NOTHING BUT BUILDING BRIDGES WITH OUR NEIGHBORS.

UM, YOU, IF YOU, IF YOU KNOW US, YOU KNOW HOW WE ARE, YOU KNOW, HOW WE OPERATE.

AND, UM, I SEEK NOTHING TONIGHT EXCEPT A FAVORABLE APPROVAL FROM THIS COUNCIL.

SO WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FIRST COMMUNITY SWAMI COMMUNITY CENTER IN THE CITY OF MISERY CITY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH GUYS.

UH, MY NAME NAME IS SHABBAT.

I LIVE IN 24 14 VOLTERRA LAKE LANE AS WELL.

UH, I HAVE A DESIGN AND PUT IT BACK AGAIN WITH A DIFFERENT LAYOUT AND, OR, UH, OKAY.

SORRY.

ONE OF THE DESIGN, WE JUST MADE IT TO SYNERGIZE WITH THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD WITH A APPROXIMATELY 1500 SQUARE FOOT WITH A SETBACK OF 1000 A FOOT.

AND IT'S WITH, UH, THE REQUIREMENTS THAT MEET THE CITY CODE AND THAT'S ALL WE HAVE DONE.

ANY QUESTIONS? PUBLIC HEARING? SO MOHAMMAD EVERYONE.

MY NAME IS AND, UH, I LIVE IN 3, 9, 3 1 SIT ON A DRIVE AND, UH, ONE OF THE CALIFORNIANS MOVED FROM CALIFORNIA LAST YEAR.

AND I GUESS I'M THE ONE OF THE 162,000 FAMILIES MOVED IN AND RAISED HOUSING PRICES HERE.

SO I'M THE ONE, I GUESS, UH, RAISE ALL THE PRICING BECAUSE WE BRING THE VALUE.

I'M AN ENTREPRENEUR.

SO I STARTED MY TWO OFFICES HERE.

UM, MOVING HERE WAS ONE OF THE REASON WAS THE HOUSING AND, UH, WE LOVED THOUSAND YEAR.

UH, WHEN I COME HERE, I'VE GOT THREE LITTLE KIDS.

UH, MY MOM, MY FAMILY IS HERE TO, UH, IN SUPPORT OF THIS PROJECT.

AND, UH, UH, WHAT I BELIEVE IS, UH, COMMUNITY CENTERS PLAYS OF ASSEMBLY, THEIR SYMBOL OF HARMONY, A SYMBOL OF HARMONY SYMBOL OF TOLERANCE, AND THEY COMPLIMENT THE, THEY COMPLIMENT THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO THEY ARE THE VALUE ADDED VALUE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH THESE CONVENTION CENTERS IN ASSEMBLY PLACE OF ASSEMBLY BRINGS.

AND, UM, AS I BROUGHT VALUE FROM CALIFORNIA, AN ENTREPRENEUR, UH, BRINGING THE JOB HERE AND, UH, SAME WAY ME AND MY FAMILY, MY KIDS, MY DURATION, THEY WILL BRING THE VALUE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS, UH, AS A COMMUNITY, UH, AND, UH, IN THE FACE

[01:35:01]

OF COMMUNITY CENTER.

SO I'M SURE, UH, THE COMMUNITY, THE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL NEVER REGRET A NEIGHBORHOOD.

UH, I APPRECIATE THAT THE VALUE, WHICH WE'LL BE ADDING AS A COMMUNITY CENTER.

THE DASA.

MY NAME IS HERE.

I'M A LONGTIME RESIDENT OF MISSOURI CITY, APPROXIMATELY 18 YEARS.

CURRENT ADDRESS IS 5 5 0 2 PECAN HOLLOW DRIVE.

AND I'M HERE AS A FRIEND OF THIS PROJECT.

AND ALONG HERE WITH ME ARE APPROXIMATELY 30 OTHER FRIENDS OF THE PROJECT WHO LIVE ON OR AROUND THAT AREA.

THEY SHARE HARBOR SIENNA, PLANTATION, ET CETERA.

SO I WOULD ASK THEM TO STAND UP FOR A SECOND.

SO ONLY THING I WOULD ASK YOU TO REQUEST YOU IS TO PLEASE APPROVE THIS PROJECT.

WHAT IS ESSENTIALLY A FACILITY, THE SIZE OF A SINGLE FAMILY HOME ON A FIVE ACRE LOT.

IT'S GOING TO BE OPEN TO THE WHOLE COMMUNITY IS PROBABLY GOING TO THE LEAST DENSE DEVELOPMENT ON BEST PLANTATION, YOU KNOW, FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

SO THESE DISAPPROVE, THE PROJECT WE ARE HERE AS FRIENDS OF THE COMMUNITY, WE'VE REACHED OUT TO THE COMMUNITY.

WE WOULD TEST EVERY SINGLE CONCERN THE COMMUNITY HAS HAD.

WE REACHED OUT TO THE SILVER RIDGE HOA.

WE'VE TALKED TO THEM, WE'VE MET WITH A FEW OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVES WHO ARE AT THE P AND Z.

WE TEST ALL THEIR CONCERNS.

UM, AND AGAIN, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, UM, THERE'S A TEAM HERE WHO CAN ADDRESS THEM.

THANK YOU, SPAGHETTI ANYMORE.

SO A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC, HEARING AN EMOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER EMORY SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM, MARIE LEWIS, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, SAY, AYE, ALL THOSE OPPOSED TO THE MOTION, SAY NO MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE AS PRESENTED BY CITY STAFF? SO IT'S BEEN A MOTION BY SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER KLAUSER.

UM, SO THE OPPORTUNITY FOR, I GUESS, AUBREY, YOU HAD SOMETHING, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? I HAVE SOME, OKAY, GO AHEAD.

UM, SO THANK YOU.

I KNOW THE ORIGINAL PLAN WAS 9,000 SQUARE FEET REDUCED IT TO 1500.

MY FIRST QUESTION IS SO AT 1500 SQUARE FEET WITH APPROXIMATELY A HUNDRED VISITORS, IS THERE A CODE AND HOW DO WE MONITOR THAT A FIRE CODE OR AN OCCUPANCY CODE OCCUPANCY IS GOING TO BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE AND FIRE CODES THAT HAVE BEEN ADOPTED BY THE CITY.

UM, SO BASED ON THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE ACTUAL BUILDING, UM, THEY'LL HAVE TO HOST A MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY.

UM, SO THAT'S, WHAT'S GOING TO GOVERN THAT, UM, WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS A SCALE DOWN A SQUARE FOOTAGE.

SO THAT'S GOING TO LIMIT WHAT THAT OCCUPANCY IS INSIDE THE BUILDING.

AND THEN I HEARD LIKE, YOU KNOW, DURING HARVEY, THEY GAVE OUT SUPPLIES, THEY HELPED RESIDENTS WOULD, THEY'D HAVE TO FILL OUT A PERMIT TO HAVE THOSE TYPES OF EVENTS.

SO THAT WAY WE PREPARE FOR TRAFFIC AND WHATNOT, AND THE CITY DOES HAVE A TEMPORARY RELIEF, UM, SPECIAL PERMIT, THAT'S SIMILAR TO A SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT.

SO IF COUNCIL REMEMBERS, UM, LIKE A SET UP THAT I THINK STATE FARM AND SOME OF THE OTHER INSURANCE COMPANIES HAVE DONE IN, IN THOSE NATURAL EVENTS, THOSE ARE TRIGGERED BY A DECLARED NATURAL DISASTER DECLARED EMERGENCY.

UM, BUT THERE IS A PROCESS FOR THAT.

AND THEN LAST QUESTION IS IF THEY DECIDE TO FUTURE PLANS TO GO BACK TO THE 9,000, THEN THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AGAIN.

ANY MORE DISCUSSIONS? YEAH.

COULD WE PUT UP THE DRAWING, THE CONCEPTUAL, UH, THAT'S A ROADWAY ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE CONFERENCE CENTER OR ON THE SHIRT.

THAT'S HOW IT'S BEING REFERRED TO.

SORRY, I'D SAY I DON'T CALL THEM PARISHIONERS, BUT, UH, ATTENDEES OF THE, UH, THE, UH, RELIGIOUS, UH, BUILDING MOSQUE.

SO ARE YOU REFERRING TO THE DRIVEWAY? YES.

YEAH, THAT'S THE DRIVEWAY.

IT GOES FROM BOSS PLANTATION ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE DEVELOPMENT INTO THE REAR.

UM, THEY HAVE WHAT THEY HAVE A SETBACK AND THEN BEHIND THAT IS ACTUALLY FORBIDDEN PARKWAY.

NOW IS THERE ROOM FOR EXPANSION? LIKE I SAY NOW, THEY'RE, THEY'RE DOWN TO, UH, THEY SAID A HUNDRED, UH, PARISHIONERS, UM,

[01:40:01]

UH, AND THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS THEY STARTED IT AND I THINK, UH, ANTHONY BROUGHT IT UP, YOU KNOW, THEY STARTED AT A MUCH LARGER FOOTPRINT.

UH, AND, UH, SINCE TRAFFIC IS A MAJOR ISSUE ON WATCH PLANTATION, UH, I'M LOOKING FOR, UH, I GUESS SOME, UH, SOME, UH, SOME COMFORT THAT, UH, WILL NOT, UH, SOME POINT IN TIME IN SHARP PERIOD OF TIME, YOU KNOW, HAVE A, A MUCH LARGER, UH, GROUP OF, UH, UH, VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC ON WEST PLANTATION.

SO, UH, AS FAR AS THE FOOTPRINT OF THE ACTUAL FACILITY ITSELF, IT LOCKED IN WITH THE SUP.

SO IT WON'T BE GREATER THAN THE 1500 SQUARE FEET PROPOSED.

AS FAR AS THE ATTENDEES, AS JENNIFER MENTIONED, THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY IS DETERMINED BY THE FIRE CODE.

UM, BUT ACTUALLY IF THEY GET WOULD THE, THERE'S ACTUALLY AN OPPOSITE EFFECT HERE, THEY HAVE A MAXIMUM OF A HUNDRED, BUT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND OF WHAT THEY'VE PROPOSED, UM, OF THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE THERE, WE'RE ONLY LOOKING TO SEE ABOUT 20 TO 30 RESIDENTS, NOT RESIDENTS ABOUT 20 TO 30 PEOPLE EVEN ATTENDING THE MOSQUE.

AND, UM, I THINK THE GREATEST TRAFFIC TIME IS ACTUALLY ON FRIDAY AFTERNOONS.

SO, UM, ANY OTHER DAY OF THE WEEK IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN THAT.

ARE THERE, UH, UH, AREAS, UH, UH, UH, ENTRANCE AND EXIT LANES, ARE OUR AREAS GOING INTO THE, UH, UH, INTO THE DRIVEWAY OFF OF, UH, WEST PLANTATION? OR IS IT JUST A STRAIGHT, UH, RIGHT TURN LEFT, TURN INTO THE, UH, UH, INTO THE COMPLEX.

IT IS JUST A STRAIGHT TURN, BUT I'M NOT SURE IF ENGINEERING HAS ANYTHING TO ADD.

AS FAR AS THE PROPOSED EXPANSION THEY HAVE GOING ON.

I WALKED PLANTATION COUNCIL MEMBER TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

IT WILL BE A ONE WAY IN, AND ONE WAY OUT THAT'S STRAIGHT ENTRANCE.

THERE IS NO TURN BAY OR ANYTHING, IF THAT'S YOUR QUESTION.

OKAY, WELL, I WAS LOOKING AT THE, ON THE SHOULDER.

IS THERE A WAY OF, UH, YOU KNOW, BEING ABLE TO, UH, IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AN ENTRANCE INTO IT, YOU KNOW, HAVING SOME TYPE OF SHOULDER ACCESS INTO THE, UH, THE DRIVER, UH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF IS THERE'S FUTURE PLANS FOR WHAT'S PLANTATION RECONSTRUCTION, SO TO SPEAK, AND THE REASON CONSTRUCTIONS IN WALLS, RECONSTRUCTING THE TOOL, THE POOL LANE ROADWAY WITH SOME SHOULDERS AT THAT POINT, WE'LL LOOK INTO ANY OPTIONS THAT MAY EXIST TO PROVIDE SOME KIND OF TURN BACK TO IT.

AGAIN, IT'S NOT GUARANTEED BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY ALSO WE'LL WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER TO SEE IF THEY CAN DEDICATE ANY RIGHT OF WAY FOR ANY FUTURE TURN LANES AS PART OF THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL PROCESS.

WELL, I'M LOOKING AT IT FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT ALSO BECAUSE IT'S, YOU KNOW, WEST PLANTATION IS HEAVILY TRAVEL.

AND, UH, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE MAKING JUST, YOU KNOW, A DEAD RIGHT-HAND TURN, UH, SOMETIMES, UH, THAT'S, UH, NOT A VERY SAFE, UH, SITUATION.

SO I'M LOOKING AT IT FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT, SO.

MENTIONED, WE HAVE TO TRAVEL TO STAFFORD OR ANY OTHER LOCATION IN THE SURROUNDING AREAS TOO, OR SHOULD WITH YOU GUYS.

I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU THAT, I THINK THIS IS, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NEXT TO THIS FACILITY, THERE IS A RUN-UP PLACE THAT'S BEING RENTED OUT TO PUBLIC.

YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE, I'VE SEEN PARTIES UP TO 300 AND 400 PEOPLE IN THERE.

UM, SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S MORE SO AGAIN ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AND SUNDAYS IS BIRTHDAY PARTIES TO EVEN BIGGER PARTIES.

SO I THINK FOR RELIGIOUS PURPOSES, THEY'RE REALLY IN THERE, YOU KNOW, MY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AND WHAT, SO HAVE YOU, UM, VERSUS THERE, PEOPLE JUST COMING IN AND OUT OF THE CENTER, THEY'RE NOT REALLY LIVING IN THE CENTER.

AND I THINK IT'S A BENEFIT THAT DURING HURRICANE HARVEY AND, AND THINGS LIKE THAT, WE CAN USE THIS HOPEFULLY AS A SHELTER, IF IT NEEDED TO BE, UM, YOU KNOW, UM, TO GET PEOPLE IN AND OUT AS WE GONE TO THE KANAYA CENTER AND OTHER PLACES IN THE PAST, ESPECIALLY DURING OUR HURRICANE HARVEY TO SEE THAT IF WE CAN OFFSET SOME PEOPLE THAT'S BACK THERE.

UM, BUT I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT.

AND I THINK, UM, YOU KNOW, THE STREETS AND ALL THAT, I MEAN, THEY'RE ALREADY USING NOW, BUT IT'S NOT RESIDENTIAL, YOU KNOW, LIVING SPOTS UP THERE.

THIS IS JUST ONE BUILDING THAT GETS PEOPLE IN AND OUT.

UM, AND I WOULD HOPE THAT AS I'VE HEARD FROM PEOPLE THAT SAID THAT, UH, FIRST ONE IN MISSOURI CITY, THE 23RD ONE, AND I HOPE YOU HAVE IT SOMEWHERE ON YOUR SIGNAGE THAT SAYS MISSOURI CITY, UH, SO WE CAN BE PROUD OF THAT.

UM, SO THAT'S MY COMMENT.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? YES, I TOO.

I'M GLAD THAT WE'RE GOING TO WELCOME THIS NEW PROJECT INTO OUR COMMUNITY.

OFTENTIMES AS ONE OF THE SPEAKERS

[01:45:01]

SO I'M EXCITED TO HAVE OUR VERY OWN MOSQUE AND MISSOURI CITY.

AND I LOOK FORWARD TO CELEBRATING WITH YOU GUYS.

I WANT TO COMMEND YOU ALL FOR, UM, DOING YOUR DUE DILIGENCE AND REACHING OUT TO THE COMMUNITIES AROUND YOU AND, UH, THE HOA AND THE NEIGHBORHOODS, UM, THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME.

BUT THE FACT THAT YOU ALL DID THAT TO SHOW THAT, UM, THE COLLABORATION AND THAT YOU WANT TO BE THERE AND YOU WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO FEEL LIKE, UM, THEY ARE WELCOME.

UM, I CAN CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THAT.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND I LOOK FORWARD TO, UH, ATTENDING.

I LIKE TO COMMEND THE TEAM AS WELL.

HAVING LIVED IN A MUSLIM COUNTRY FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS, I THINK IT'S, IT'S MISSOURI CITY AS WELL OVERDUE.

I'M EXCITED ABOUT HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE GONE TO STAFFORD MANY TIMES, AND I THINK IT'S TIME FOR AS SERIOUS CITY TO HAVE THEIR OWN CENTER.

GOOD.

HEY MARY, I JUST WANT TO SAY IT HAS NO BEARING ON MY DECISION ON THIS DEAL.

UM, BUT I JUST WOULD LIKE STAFF IN THE FUTURE, UH, IN THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT HAS BEEN HEARING, BUT, UH, ONE OF THE PROTESTS LETTERS THAT WAS RECEIVED, UH, IS BLURRY AND UNABLE TO BE READ.

AND SO, UH, I JUST WANT THAT, YOU KNOW, US TO BE ABLE TO RECEIVE WHETHER IT'S A SUPPORT LETTER OR A PROTEST LETTER, TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT AS THE ONE FOR, UM, UH, RICHARD LEWIS.

SO AGAIN, IT HAS NO BEARING, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE PROJECT MOVING FORWARD AND VOTING ON THIS TONIGHT.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY, TEXAS APPROVING THE THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED PROJECT PLAN AND REINVESTMENT ZONE FINANCING CLAIM FOR REINVESTMENT ZONE.

SO WE HEARD FROM ALL THE COMMENTS, THERE'S BEEN A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER BONEY, CORRECT? SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER KLAUSER.

THAT'S THE WAY I HAD IT.

SO SHE SHOT MISSOURI CITY ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, PLEASE SAY, AYE.

MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

THANK YOU ALL 71,

NUMBER TWO CITY OF MISSOURI CITY AUTHORIZING THE CITY SECRETARY TO DISTRIBUTE SUCH PLAN CONTAINING FINDINGS AND PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT, PROVIDING FOR REPEAL AND PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY COUNSEL.

YEAH, GO AHEAD.

WAIT.

FORT BEND TOWN CENTER PHASE ONE HAS BEEN AN, AN AMENITY TO OUR COMMUNITY FOR MANY YEARS, SINCE 2006, THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY HAS BEEN WORKING WITH NEW QUESTS FOR SEVERAL YEARS ON PHASE TWO AND PHASE THREE OF FORT BEND TOWN CENTER.

PHASE TWO IS NOW UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH PHASE THREE THROUGH THE PROJECT PLAN TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONES ARE PIVOTAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ESPECIALLY TO A CITY LIKE MISSOURI CITY THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE FORAY OR FOR THE SALES TAX DEDICATED TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

IT ENCOURAGES DEVELOPMENT IN AN AREA THAT WOULD OTHERWISE NOT ATTRACT SUFFICIENT MARKET DEVELOPMENT IN A TIMELY MANNER.

IT PROVIDES LONG-TERM INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WILL SPUR ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

IT PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY TO INCREASE SALES TAX IN AN AREA, AND IT INCREASES QUALITY OF LIFE AMENITIES THAT WE CAN ALL ENJOY.

IT ALSO INCREASES TARS REVENUES THAT CAN BE UTILIZED FOR FUTURE PROJECTS.

ONCE WE REIMBURSE THE DEVELOPER FOR THAT CURRENT PROJECT, AS I MENTIONED, PORT BEN TOWN CENTER, TWO IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

THAT DEVELOPMENT INCLUDES THE STATE OF THE ART CENTER, MARK 300,000 SQUARE FEET OF MIXED USE COMMERCIAL ALONG WITH PAVILIONS, PATIO AND BRASSY LOUNGE SPACE, A PROJECT PLAN, INCLUDING PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS, TOTALING $4 MILLION HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED, BUT NEW QUEST IS COMING BACK TO MEN THAT TO MODIFY IT TO $2 MILLION IN PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS FOR A TOWN CENTER TO

[01:50:02]

THE AMENDED PROJECT PLAN THAT YOU ALL ARE LOOKING AT TONIGHT ALSO INCLUDES REIMBURSABLE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS FOR TOWN CENTER THREE UP TO $9 MILLION SOUND CENTER.

THREE INCLUDES 200,000 SQUARE FEET OF MIXED USE COMMERCIAL AND METRO PARKS AND RIDE GARAGE.

AND TWO MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENTS FOR FORT BEND TOWN CENTERS, TWO AND THREE.

THE TERS WILL RE REIMBURSE A DEVELOPER $11 MILLION.

AND AFTER ALL ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE COUNTED FOR THE CITY WILL YIELD OVER $10 MILLION THAT CAN BE UTILIZED FOR FUTURE PROJECTS.

AND ONCE THE TERS EXPIRES, IT CAN BE GOING INTO THE GENERAL FUND.

HIS REQUEST WENT TO THE TOURIST BOARD LAST WEEK AND THEY WERE APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY TONIGHT.
