[1. CALL TO ORDER]

[00:00:08]

THE. WHAT'S THE DATE? AUGUST 5TH, 2025. PLANNING AND ZONING. SPECIAL MEETING IS CALLED TO ORDER. WE HAVE A QUORUM. NO. LATER. SHE GETS BACK. OKAY. WE HAVE NOBODY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK

[4.1. Receive a Presentation and Hold a Discussion - Comprehensive Plan Upda...]

I WAS HOPEFUL THAT YOU ALL WERE GOING TO BRING THOSE BINDERS TONIGHT, BUT IF YOU DIDN'T, YOUR BINDERS CONTAIN A LOT OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PRESENTATION. SO IF YOU NEED THERE WE GO. IF YOU NEED PAPER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, LET US KNOW. OR JUST MAKE NOTES AS WE GO ALONG. AND THEN ANY QUESTIONS OF COURSE, AS WE GO ALONG. SO I'M GOING TO PRESENT SOME. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OUR SENIOR PLANNERS PRESENTING AS WELL. SO YOU'LL HEAR FROM ALL OF US TONIGHT. YOU'LL BE. ALL RIGHT. SO JUST TO BRING US BACK UP TO SPEED ON KIND OF SOME OVERALL GOALS, AND I'M GOING TO HAVE. THANK YOU. SO THERE ARE STRATEGIC FOCUS AREAS THAT THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROCESS HAS BEEN CONSIDERED OF. SO AGAIN THE CITY HAS IDENTIFIED THESE AS AREAS OF FOCUS FOR THE OVERALL COMMUNITY. SO AS WE'RE LOOKING TO DEVELOP THE CITY, AS WE'RE LOOKING TO MOVE FORWARD, WE'RE LOOKING AT OPPORTUNITIES TO CONTINUE TO MAKE THIS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE, GROW OUR BUSINESS INVESTMENTS AND HAVE QUALITY DEVELOPMENT THROUGH BUILD OUT. SOME OF OUR ORGANIZATIONAL PRIORITIES INCLUDE RETAINING OUR EXISTING PROPERTY VALUES, WHICH, AS YOU HEARD AT LAST WEEK'S SPECIAL MEETING, THE CORRELATION BETWEEN PROPERTY VALUES WITH THE DECISIONS THAT ARE MADE ON THE LAND USE SIDE IS RELATED. AND SO WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IN CREATING THESE POLICIES AND ULTIMATELY IMPLEMENTATION TOOLS HAVE A DIRECT IMPACT ON THOSE VALUES AND WHAT OUR RESIDENTS AND COMMUNITY PAY. AND THEN ALSO INCREASED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. SO YOU'LL SEE IN THESE RECOMMENDATIONS A LOT OF FOCUS ON HOW WE MAXIMIZE OUR OPPORTUNITIES TO BALANCE SOME OF THE LAND USES THAT HAVE DEVELOPED AND POLICY THAT WE'VE HAD IN PLACE FOR MANY YEARS. SO WE STARTED THIS PROCESS LAST YEAR FORMALLY. SO WE HAD SEVERAL ROUNDS OF MEETINGS, BUT THIS REALLY KICKED OFF WITH THE JOINT MEETING THAT YOU ALL HAD WITH CITY COUNCIL IN JUNE OF LAST YEAR, AND THAT KIND OF PROVIDED THE FRAMEWORK THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING OFF OF THROUGHOUT THIS UPDATE PROCESS. SO I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO THESE IN DETAIL BECAUSE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT PRETTY MUCH EVERY TIME WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, BUT ULTIMATELY WE'RE LOOKING TO IDENTIFY THAT UNITED VISION. WHAT IS OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF MISSOURI CITY, AND HOW IS THAT VISION REFLECTED IN OUR LAND USE GOALS AND POLICIES AND KEY STRATEGIC AREAS, AND SOME OF OUR OPPORTUNITIES IN REMAINING UNDEVELOPED AREAS AND REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES? SO THAT IS KIND OF WHAT HAS GUIDED THIS PROCESS. THERE ARE TEN KEY CORRIDORS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED. WE'LL GO THROUGH THOSE. AND OUR HOPE IS TO GO THROUGH EACH ONE TONIGHT. WE KNOW IT'S A LOT, SO WE'LL TRY TO CONSOLIDATE IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A INTERACTIVE KIND OF DISCUSSION FROM THERE. WE KNOW YOU ALL KNOW AS A COMMISSION THE CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE SIDE. WE, YOU

[00:05:04]

ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MR. RAY WHO'S GOING TO SUMMARIZE OUR JUNE CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS. SO WE MET WITH CITY COUNCIL ON JUNE 4TH AND 25TH. AND THE FIRST SPECIAL MEETING, WE PRESENTED THEM THE SAME FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. AND DURING THE SECOND MEETING, WE KIND OF TALKED THROUGH THOSE FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A LITTLE BIT. SO THERE WERE SEVERAL KEY TAKEAWAYS. A LOT OF THE DISCUSSION REVOLVED AROUND THE LAND USE AND WANTING TO PRESERVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER, AND MAKING SURE THAT THERE WAS COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS COMING IN AND MAKING SURE THAT WE HAD INFRASTRUCTURE AVAILABLE.

ADDITIONALLY, SOME SOME OTHER ITEMS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WAS THE COMMUNITY IDENTITY AND THE DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION, SPECIFICALLY WANTING TO POSITION MISSOURI CITY AS A DESTINATION CITY. AND WITH THIS, WE WOULD HAVE TO ESTABLISH A CULTURAL OR COMMERCIAL ANCHOR IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH A DESTINATION CITY, SOMETHING THAT WOULD PROMOTE ENTERTAINMENT AND MIXED USE SPACES. AND ALONG WITH THAT, THE NEED FOR WALKABILITY AND CONNECTIVITY IN THE CITY. WANT TO HAVE A STRONG COMMUNITY, AND THEY'RE PROVIDING A LOT OF SUPPORT FOR WALKABILITY IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS, AND ESPECIALLY FOCUSING ON SOME OF THE MORE UNDERSERVED CORRIDORS.

ADDITIONALLY, ENHANCING TRAILS, SIDEWALKS, AND PARK ACCESS, AND IDENTIFYING AREAS IN THE CITY THAT DOESN'T REALLY HAVE AN ACCESS TO A PARK, AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AND WANTING TO EXPAND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WITH THE RESIDENTS AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY ARE ENGAGING WITH US, ESPECIALLY AS WE'RE PULLING OUT THESE FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS, THAT THEY'RE PROVIDING THEIR INPUT ON THESE FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS, AND TO ENSURE ANY TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE PLAN. AND ANOTHER ITEM THAT CAME UP DURING THE CONVERSATIONS WAS THE NEED FOR HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL PRESERVATION. AND DOING THAT THROUGH THROUGH LAND USE PLANNING. AND THAT IS A SUMMARY OF THE CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETINGS. AND I WILL TURN IT OVER TO JUSTIN TO DISCUSS OUR SPECIAL MEETING. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. SO AS MOST OF YOU ARE AWARE, WE HAD FELIX LANDRY COME SPEAK TO YOU ALL ON JULY 31ST THURSDAY LAST WEEK. AND HE IS FROM THE TEXAS AGRILIFE EXTENSION. AND HE SPOKE FROM A FISCAL ANALYSIS SIDE, HOW CITIES DEVELOP, HOW THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, AS WELL AS OUR ZONING CAN INFLUENCE OUR DEVELOPMENT AND WHAT THE IMPLICATIONS ON OUR TAXES WILL LOOK LIKE, AS WELL AS IF WE WANT A CERTAIN TYPE OF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT TO COME INTO THE CITY. THERE ARE CERTAIN TYPES OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS TO BE A PART OF THAT TO SUPPORT THAT COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. SO SOME KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THAT MEETING, WHICH WE HAVE HERE, ARE THAT MOST TEXAS CITIES RELY HEAVILY ON PROPERTY AND RETAIL SALES TAXES FOR GENERAL FUNDS. BOTH OF THOSE TAX SOURCES ARE DIRECTLY LINKED TO THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT.

AND AS A CITY, WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE QUANT AND QUANTIFY THEIR SERVICE NEEDS.

THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT IMPACTS DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS TO ALIGN WITH THEIR BUDGETS AND TAX POLICIES. PROPERTY TAXES ARE BASED ON THE VALUE OF IMPROVEMENTS ON THE LAND.

DENSER, MORE VALUABLE DEVELOPMENTS GENERATE MORE TAX REVENUE PER SQUARE FOOT. AS WE SAW WITH FELIX'S ANALYSIS. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU HAVE A 6000 SQUARE FOOT LOT AND A 4000 SQUARE FOOT LOT, YOU CAN FIT MORE OF THE 4000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS INTO AN AREA. BUT THE HOUSE IS GOING TO BE GENERALLY THE SAME AND GIVE THE SAME FEEL TO BOTH THE PUBLIC AND THE PERSON LIVING IN IT. AND SO YOU WOULD GENERATE MORE TAX REVENUE IF YOU HAD A LITTLE BIT SMALLER LOTS.

ALSO OF NOTE, DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, FOR EXAMPLE, SETBACKS, PARKING MINIMUMS, HEIGHT AND DENSITY LIMITS CAN RESTRICT DEVELOPMENT, THEREBY REDUCING POTENTIAL TAX REVENUE.

AND THEN LASTLY, IF WE USE FISCAL ANALYSIS TO CONTRIBUTE TO A MORE FISCALLY SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF CITIZEN WELL-BEING, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE KIND OF GOING FOR HERE WITH THESE RECOMMENDATIONS. IF YOU GO, OH YES, MA'AM. UPDATE ON WE DO HAVE AN EXAMPLE CITY THAT FELIX PROVIDED A WHITE PAPER, A SUMMARY ON THAT WE WILL

[00:10:07]

SINCE IT'S SMALLER, IT WOULD BE JUST MORE KIND OF THE ANALYSIS THAT CAN BE DONE WITH THE CITY AND HOW WE COULD DO IT WITH THOSE SMALLER, SMALLER. AND THIS IS JUST ME TALKING SMALLER COULD WORK THOUGH, BECAUSE IF THEY'RE DOING SOMETHING OF NOTE, THAT COULD HELP US TO SEE WHAT SOMEBODY WITH SMALLER AND PERCEIVABLY SMALLER RESOURCES COULD DO IF WE HAVE MORE. YOU SEE WHERE I'M GOING WITH THAT. SO THAT'S FINE. ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. COOL. THANK YOU. AND THEN AS WELL WE DID ALSO PROVIDE THE FINAL SLIDE DECK FROM FELIX'S PRESENTATION. IF Y'ALL WANTED TO REVIEW LATER ON, ALL RIGHT. OF COURSE. ALSO, I DID WANT TO MENTION THAT OUR PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT IS RAMPING BACK UP. WE ARE HOPING TO HAVE A SURVEY DONE TO BE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC BY, I BELIEVE, AUGUST 18TH. AND IN PREPARATION FOR A TOWN HALL MEETING, WE HAVE AUGUST 23RD ON A SATURDAY, 9 A.M. TO 11 A.M. AND THEN WE ALSO STILL HAVE OUR SHOW-ME CITY.COM WEBSITE AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC TO INPUT ANY SUGGESTIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS, OR COMMENTS TO US AS WE GO THROUGH THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE PROCESS. OKAY, I PASS IT BACK TO JENNIFER. THANK YOU SO MUCH. OKAY, SO WE'RE GOING TO START TO GO INTO THE RECOMMENDATIONS. I DO WANT TO KIND OF PAUSE TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY DISCUSSION OR REACTION ON THE SPECIAL MEETING, ANY INPUT BEFORE WE GET TOO FAR DOWN THE LINE ON THESE CORRIDORS. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT ANY OF THE COMMISSIONERS WANTS TO PROVIDE INPUT ON? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THEN WE WILL KEEP GOING. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO EACH OF THE CORRIDORS. BUT AS WE GO INTO IT I WANT TO FRAME IT WITH JUST KIND OF WHAT OUR SITUATION IS. AND SO WE'VE SPOKEN HERE AT THE COMMISSION IN TERMS OF UNDEVELOPED LAND REMAINING. WE WERE WORKING THROUGH THAT NUMBER FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT KIND OF WHAT THAT WORKING NUMBER LOOKED LIKE. AND SO BASED ON ALL OF THE DATA THAT WE'VE PULLED TOGETHER, WE HAVE ABOUT 9% UNDEVELOPED LAND REMAINING INSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS. AND THAT EQUATES TO JUST UNDER 2000 ACRES. NOW, THE CAVEAT WITH THAT IS THAT'S JUST UNDEVELOPED ACRES. THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY ALL DEVELOPABLE. SO THERE CAN BE CONSTRAINTS ON SOME OF THOSE PROPERTIES. ALSO, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THOSE THOSE PROPERTIES ARE LAND THAT MAY NEED TO BE ENCUMBERED FOR UTILITY OR INFRASTRUCTURE PURPOSES. SO IT'S NOT A LARGE NUMBER. SO AS WE GO INTO THESE RECOMMENDATIONS, AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GOING TOWARDS THE FUTURE, THIS IS KIND OF ONE OF THOSE HIGH WATER MARKS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF WHAT OUR STRATEGY SHOULD BE AS WE CONTINUE FORWARD. SO THAT YOUR SECOND BULLET HERE IS THAT 10% OF THE 1650. YES. OKAY. YES. THAT'S THAT'S BASICALLY BUT THE REST OF IT COULD BE IN THE HANDS OF EXISTING DEVELOPERS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. YEAH. AND THEY'RE JUST NOT ACTIVELY MARKETING OR, OR TRYING TO SELL. OR, OR TRYING TO DEVELOP AT THIS POINT. RIGHT, RIGHT. DOES THE CITY HAVE ANY LAND IN THAT, IN THAT TEMPERATURE? RIGHT. VERY LITTLE. VERY LITTLE. THERE IS MORE DISCUSSION ON CITY LAND BANKING AND PUTTING THE CITY IN A BETTER POSITION TO KIND OF, YOU KNOW, NAVIGATE SOME OF THESE DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES. BUT VERY LITTLE IS PUBLICLY OWNED BY THE CITY. AND WHEN YOU SAY RESTRICTED, YOU KNOW, THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME THAT RIGHT HERE ON THE NIGHT ROAD. BUT WE WOULD TRY TO BE RURAL THAT WOULD NEED TO BE MOVED TO A COMMERCIAL.

RIGHT. AND SO SOME OF THOSE AREAS AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT IN FOCUS AREA TEN, SOME OF THOSE

[00:15:05]

SO THERE MAY BE PORTIONS OF THOSE AREAS THAT ARE FACTORED INTO THIS NUMBER OF UNDEVELOPED LAND THAT ULTIMATELY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BE DEVELOPED. OKAY. SO THIS IS FEEDBACK FROM THE INITIAL SURVEY THAT WENT OUT. WE BROUGHT THOSE RESULTS BACK TO THE COMMISSION SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. BUT AS WE GO INTO THE RECOMMENDATIONS, THIS IS JUST KIND OF A REMINDER SLIDE OF JUST KIND OF WHERE THOSE THAT RESPONDED TO THAT SURVEY, KIND OF WHERE THOSE DESIRES WERE. AND I THINK THE THING THAT WE POINT OUT WITH THIS SLIDE, EVERY TIME WE'RE SHOWING IT IS WE STILL HAVE THIS VERY HIGH INTEREST FOR RETAIL AND RESTAURANT AND COMMERCIAL USES AS AMENITIES IN OUR COMMUNITY AND A HIGH DESIRE TO MAINTAIN IT AS SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. AND THOSE TWO THINGS MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE INCOMPATIBLE, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF WORK AND A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND COORDINATION THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. SO WE KNOW RETAIL AND ALL OF THESE COMMERCIAL NON RESIDENTIAL USES THAT ARE DESIRED. THEY NEED EMPLOYMENT. THEY NEED YOU KNOW, STAFF, THEY NEED DAYTIME POPULATION. AND SO WHERE WE GO WITH OUR RESIDENTIAL LAND USES AND HOW WE SUPPORT OUR NONRESIDENTIAL LAND USES ARE INTEGRATED. SO THAT'S KIND OF YOU KNOW WHERE WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THE DESIRE IS. AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO MATCH THESE POLICIES AND MATCH THESE RECOMMENDATIONS WITH THAT DESIRE, BUT WITH REALISTIC AND PRACTICAL TOOLS IN ORDER TO ENCOURAGE THESE TYPES OF USES TO LOCATE HERE, I THINK THAT IF WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO, IN SOME FORMAT, SHARE THAT INFORMATION THAT WE WERE PRESENTED LAST WEEK BEFORE THIS, THEY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN A CLEARER UNDERSTANDING OF WHY WE NEED THOSE. YEAH. AND WE HAVE THAT COMMENT FROM THE COMMISSION FROM LAST WEEK'S MEETING. OKAY. IN CREATING THAT PACKAGE IN A MANNER THAT WE CAN PRESENT IT TO THE PUBLIC. AND SO WE'LL WORK ON THAT WITH THE SECOND SURVEY THAT GOES OUT AS WELL, BECAUSE THE SECOND SURVEY HOPEFULLY WILL ALSO ASK THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE RECOMMENDATIONS, SO THAT MATERIAL WILL HOPEFULLY GO OUT WITH THAT SECOND SURVEY SO THAT THE PUBLIC HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO REACT TO THAT. WILL THIS INFORMATION BE AVAILABLE FOR THE TOWN HALL MEETING? OKAY, YES. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS. AND I DON'T KNOW IF JUSTIN MENTIONED ON THAT PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT SLIDE. WE'RE WORKING TO HAVE A DRAFT OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE SURVEY READY FOR YOU ALL FOR NEXT WEEK AT YOUR MEETING NEXT WEEK, AND WE HOPE TO HAVE THAT LAUNCHED THE WEEK OF THAT PUBLIC TOWN HALL. AND THEN IT SHOULD BE LIVE FOR AT LEAST 30 DAYS FOR DIFFERENT VARIOUS MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO BE ABLE TO INTERACT WITH IT. AND HOW DO WE PLAN TO MAXIMIZE IT? SO I KNOW HOW DO WE PLAN TO MAXIMIZE THE SURVEY? I KNOW THERE WAS ONE MAIN ISSUE WE DISCUSSED LAST TIME. WE DIDN'T GET THE MAXIMUM NUMBER PARTICIPATION THAT WE WANTED. SO ARE WE TAKING ANOTHER APPROACH THIS TIME OR WHAT'S THE PLAN? YES, YES. SO WE'RE ACTIVELY DISCUSSING WAYS ON HOW TO GET BETTER INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC. ONE THING WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE WORKING ON COMMUNICATION PLAN THAT WE HOPE TO BRING TO YOU ALL FOR REVIEW, AT LEAST THE GOALS OF THAT PLAN TO SEE IF YOU ALL THINK THOSE GOALS WOULD ALIGN WITH GETTING MORE SUPPORT AND INPUT. WE'RE ALSO LOOKING TO GET MORE ACTIVE AND GOING TO MORE HOA MEETINGS AND GET THE WORD OUT THERE ESSENTIALLY, AND THEN ALSO TO ASK FOR Y'ALL'S HELP AS AMBASSADORS FOR THE SURVEY, GO OUT TO THE COMMUNITY, GO OUT TO THE PUBLIC SPACES AND PLACES THAT Y'ALL GO IN THE CITY AND GET AS MUCH INPUT AS WE CAN, BECAUSE WE REALLY CAN'T FUNCTION AND MAKE REALLY GOOD RECOMMENDATIONS UNLESS WE HAVE THAT PUBLIC INPUT. AND WE'RE OPEN RIGHT NOW AT THIS MOMENT, IF Y'ALL HAVE ANY IDEAS AS WELL THAT Y'ALL LIKE TO PUT FORTH. YEAH. WHERE DO WE HAVE CURRENTLY? LET'S THINK ABOUT THE PARKS. LET'S THINK ABOUT THE COMMUNITY CENTER, THE TENNIS CENTER, THOSE TYPES OF AREAS WHERE WE HAVE A GROUP OF FOLKS, A POPULATION OF FOLKS THAT MAYBE WE CAN APPROACH IN THAT FORMAT THERE AND MAKE IT AS BRIEF AS POSSIBLE. BUT THERE MAY BE THOSE TYPES OF AREAS WE NEED TO LOOK AT TRYING TO REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY. THAT I ABSOLUTELY WOULD AGREE. I'VE ALSO FLOATED

[00:20:03]

ABSOLUTELY, YES. I WAS KIND OF DISAPPOINTED THAT THE NEWSLETTER THAT JUST CAME OUT DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS IN IT. SO THAT TO ME WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT OPPORTUNITY, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THAT GOES BASICALLY TO EVERY, EVERY RESIDENT. AND IT I, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE READ IT, BUT IT CERTAINLY IS A IS A VEHICLE THAT IS AVAILABLE OR COULD BE AVAILABLE TO US TO, TO DO SOMETHING. AND, AND THAT OPPORTUNITY IS STILL THERE BECAUSE WE ARE WORKING WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM ON THE SCHEDULE FOR THAT NEWSLETTER AND USING THAT NOT ■ONLY FOR THE COMP PLAN, BUT ALSO FOR SOME PUBLIC NOTICING REQUIREMENTS AS WELL. AND HOW SOON DOES THE SURVEY NEED TO BE COMPLETED? I MEAN, WHAT'S OUR WHAT'S OUR TRUE DEADLINE HERE? SO WE'LL SET THE DEADLINE. THE GOAL IS TO LAUNCH IT THE WEEK OF THAT PUBLIC TOWN HALL, WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 23RD. SO THAT LAUNCH DATE WOULD BE THE WEEK OF AUGUST 18TH. AND AT A MINIMUM, WE WOULD

[00:25:02]

[00:30:01]

SO I'LL BE STARTING AT NUMBER ONE, LONGJIN ROAD, AND JUST GOING THROUGH THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EACH OF THESE CORRIDORS. SO WITH FONDREN ROAD WE SEE OKAY, THE CURRENT LAND USE DESIGNATION ALONG FONDREN IS MOSTLY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL FOR OUR PROPOSED RECOMMENDATIONS. AND THE PROPOSED LAND USE FOR THIS CORRIDOR IS MOSTLY TO STAY EXACTLY AS IT IS. BUT WITH THIS CORRIDOR WE ARE INTRODUCING TWO NEW OVERLAY DISTRICTS. SO I KNOW OVERLAY DISTRICTS ARE A LITTLE BIT NEW. NOT THAT NEW SPECIFIC USE PERMITS ARE TECHNICALLY OVERLAYS, BUT WITH LAND USE JUST TO KIND OF TALK ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT. OVERLAY DISTRICTS ARE SPECIAL PLANNING TOOLS THAT BASICALLY YOU PUT ADDITIONAL RULES AND REGULATIONS, AND THEY SIT ON TOP OF WHATEVER YOUR EXISTING LAND USE IS. SO IN THIS SPECIFIC INSTANCE, THE LAND USE DESIGNATION IS SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL. AND WITH THIS WE HAVE INTRODUCED THE NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE OVERLAY DISTRICT AS WELL AS THE DESIGNATED ENTRYWAY DISTRICT.

AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE IS MEANT TO ALLOW FOR MORE OF LIKE A NEIGHBORHOOD STYLE OF MIX OF USES. SO IN THIS CASE WHERE WE HAVE THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND THE COMMERCIAL, ADDING THE NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE OVERLAY ALLOWS YOU TO DO BOTH, BUT ON A NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE, CONSIDERING THAT IT'S JUST REALLY ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORS, SO IT'S NOT SUPER INTRUSIVE. ADDITIONALLY, WITH THE DESIGNATED ENTRYWAY OVERLAY DISTRICTS, THOSE ARE SPECIFIC AREAS IN THE CITY THAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED TO PROVIDE REGULATIONS THAT WOULD ENHANCE THE ESTHETICS OF THAT AREA AND ENHANCE THE LANDSCAPING AND INTRODUCING SIGNS. I KNOW THE CITY IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON AN ORDINANCE TO BRING THAT FORWARD TO YOU ALL SOMETIME SOON, BUT REALLY, WHAT THAT'S DOING IS AGAIN, INSTILLING DIFFERENT ADDITIONAL REGULATIONS TO KIND OF ENHANCE THOSE SPECIFIC AREAS. SO FOR THIS AREA, IT WOULD BE A FONDREN WHERE IT CONNECTS WITH 90 AND AT THE VERY NORTH WHERE IT ENTERS INTO MISSOURI CITY LIMITS. SO OFF THE BAT, DID YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THOSE BEFORE I MOVE FORWARD? SO. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT MIXED USE. SHOULD I WAIT TILL. NO WE WELL I WAS GOING TO SAY IT'S GOING TO KEEP COMING UP OKAY. SO. I'M AFRAID THAT THERE'S NO APPETITE FOR MIXED USE. AND YOU KNOW, WE KEEP ON TRYING TO PUSH IT. PUSH IT. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'VE ACTUALLY SUCCESSFULLY DONE IT ANYWHERE. OKAY. THERE WAS THAT BIG THING GOING ON IN HIGHWAY SIX. AND AS FAR AS I KNOW, STILL HASN'T MATERIALIZED. RIGHT. SO I'M JUST CAUTIOUS ABOUT THAT CONCEPT WHEN WE DON'T HAVE ANY TRACK RECORD AND WE DON'T OR TRACTION EVEN ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I, I CAN'T RECALL HOW MANY KIND OF PLACES WHERE WE'VE HEARD ABOUT IT. AND, AND IT'S BEING CONSIDERED AND STUFF LIKE THAT. BUT TO MY KNOWLEDGE, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANY RIGHT NOW. SO THAT, THAT THAT WOULD BE JUST KIND OF MY COMMENT. YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT A WELL, WE CAN'T DO THAT KIND OF THING. IT'S JUST I HAVE THAT GENERAL CONCERN AND IT TO ME ON THE SURVEY, THAT WOULD BE A VERY KEY AREA TO TRY TO GET INPUT ON, TO SEE KIND OF WHAT THE APPETITE OF THE RESIDENTS IS FOR STUFF LIKE THAT. AND ONE THING I DO WANT TO ADD, BECAUSE I KNOW AT THE COUNCIL MEETINGS AND I KNOW THE COMMISSION WILL PROBABLY ECHO IT AS WELL, OUR VISUALS, THE COUNCIL WAS REALLY PUSHING FOR US TO CREATE VISUALS OF WHAT SOME OF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS COULD LOOK LIKE ON THE GROUND.

AND I THINK TO YOUR POINT, CHAIR, IS VISUALS OF MIXED USE TYPE DEVELOPMENT IN THESE PARTICULAR AREAS THAT ARE BEING RECOMMENDED WHEN WE TAKE IT TO THE PUBLIC OR, YOU KNOW, FOR THE

[00:35:03]

AND I THINK THAT SHOWING THEM THAT FISCAL ASPECT OF IT, SHOWING THEM THAT WE NEED MORE TRAFFIC. AND WHEN I SAY WE NEED MORE BODIES THAT ARE GOING TO BE AROUND DAYTIME IN THE EVENINGS TO SUPPORT SOME OF THE BUSINESSES THAT THEY'D LIKE TO SEE OVER THERE SO THAT THEY CAN FEEL LIKE THEY'RE INCLUDED IN THE REST OF MISSOURI CITY. AND I THINK THE KEY TO GET THEIR BUY IN WILL BE THAT FISCAL PIECE. A GOOD POINT ABOUT WHAT YOU BRING UP, A VERY GOOD POINT WITH THE NON WITH THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF ACREAGE THAT WE HAVE, THE MIXED USE IS BENEFICIAL, EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE TO LONG TERM PLANNING. FROM THAT STANDPOINT, I THINK WE GOT TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO KIND OF TELL THAT STORY BECAUSE WE'RE SAYING IT'S BEST, BUT WE GOT TO KIND OF TURN IT INTO A MATRIX VIEW TO EXPLAIN HOW THE ORGANIZATION CAN BENEFIT, BE EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE OVER TIME. JUST A RECOMMENDATION, MA'AM. OKAY. MOVING ON TO THE ZONING RECOMMENDATIONS OR THE PROPOSED RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FONDREN ROAD. AND THIS IS BASED OFF OF THE PROPOSED LAND USE RECOMMENDATIONS. SO EXISTING ZONING ALONG THE FONDREN ROAD CORRIDOR INCLUDES R-3, TWO FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL AND A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. AND SO BASICALLY WHAT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS WOULD LOOK LIKE IN PRACTICE WOULD BE TO ESTABLISH A NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE OVERLAY. AND THEN, FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE LOT THAT'S AT THE CORNER OF FONDREN AND I BELIEVE EAST HAMPTON, THAT'S R3 AND WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE OVERLAY, IT WOULD ALLOW SOMEBODY TO DEVELOP IT AS THE TWO FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, BUT ALSO REQUIRE SOME ELEMENT OF COMMERCIAL. AND SO WHAT THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR IS LIKE A LOCAL GROCERY STORE TO BE ABLE TO GO IN THERE, AND THAT WAY RESIDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO IT.

THERE'S PEDESTRIAN ACCESS TO IT, AND JUST ACTIVATING THAT AREA WITH A LOCAL TYPE OF COMMERCIAL NEED THAT'S IN THAT AREA. YEAH. AND THEN POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT WITH THE UNDEVELOPED LAND ALONG FONDREN ROAD. ONE OF THE KEY TAKEAWAYS IS REALLY THAT TO ENHANCE IT AS A TRANSIT CORRIDOR AND WORKING WITH METRO THAT HAS MULTIPLE BUS STOPS ALONG THIS AREA TO IMPROVE IT AS AN URBAN CHARACTER, MAKING IT MORE VIBRANT, MAKING IT MORE ACCESSIBLE AND DEVELOPMENT AND READY. ADDITIONALLY, ACTIVATE THE LIMITED LAND WITH THE MIXED USE. SO AGAIN, NOT SAYING YOU CAN'T DEVELOP RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL, BUT COMBINING THOSE USES TO MAKING SURE THAT PEOPLE HAVE WHAT THEY NEED ON A SMALL SCALE, NEIGHBORHOOD LEVEL. AND THIRD WOULD BE TO CREATE A WELCOMING GATEWAY COMMUNITY ALONG THIS AREA THAT WOULD BE USING THE ENTRYWAY OVERLAY DISTRICT AND WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR ATTRACTIVE DESIGN AND LANDSCAPING AND WOULD BE A GREAT VISUAL COMING INTO THE CITY THROUGH THE FONDREN ROAD AREA. WITH THIS PARTICULAR CORRIDOR, WAS THERE ANY COLLABORATION AND OR IS THERE STILL TIME TO WORK WITH THE CITY OF HOUSTON, THEIR

[00:40:09]

[00:45:03]

AND I'M GOING TO ASK ELI TO INTRODUCE HIMSELF, BECAUSE I DON'T THINK ALL THE COMMISSIONERS KNOW WHO YOU ARE. YES. SO I'M ELI WASHINGTON, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MANAGER, AND I KNOW I'VE MET SOME OF YOU GUYS IN PASSING AT EVENTS, AND MR. PEARSON IS ON OUR TEXAS PARKWAY CARTWRIGHT COMMITTEE, WHICH WE HAVE A MEETING ON THURSDAY. SO, YEAH, ANYTHING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT RELATED? I'M HERE. SO. YEAH. ANYONE ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO FOCUS AREA TWO, SOUTH GESSNER ROAD. SO AGAIN TALKING ABOUT THE CURRENT LAND USE DESIGNATIONS ALONG THIS CORRIDOR. IT'S MOSTLY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL A MAJORITY OF IT IS BUSINESS PARK.

AND THEN WITH THE PROPOSED LAND USE DESIGNATIONS WITH THESE RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD BE MOSTLY TO KEEP THE EXISTING THE EXISTING LAND USE DESIGNATIONS. THERE ARE TWO CHANGES. ONE IS THAT THE BUSINESS PARK LAND USE IS BEING LABELED AS EMPLOYMENT DISTRICT, AND THAT'S BASICALLY TO COMBINE BUSINESS PARK AND INDUSTRIAL USES. AND THEN THE SECOND CHANGE IS THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES. SO PREVIOUSLY PARKS AND REC WAS SEPARATE FROM COMMUNITY FACILITIES I BELIEVE.

AND WHAT THESE PROPOSED CHANGES THAT'LL ALL BE LOOPED IN ONE. WHICH IS WHY YOU SEE THAT BLUE COLORING ALONG IN THE CORRIDOR AREA. I BELIEVE THAT'S ONE OF OUR DRAINAGE FACILITIES THAT THE CITY OWNS, AND THAT'S BEING LABELED AS COMMUNITY FACILITIES. AND SO ALONG WITH THESE PROPOSED DESIGNATIONS, AGAIN, BRINGING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE AND THE DESIGNATED ENTRYWAY ALONG THE AREAS INTERSECTING WITH 90 AND THE BELTWAY AND KEEPING THOSE NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE AREAS TO THE COMMERCIAL AREA ALONG THE BELTWAY. AND SO BASICALLY WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE IN PRACTICE, AS FAR AS SUGGESTED ZONING GOES, WOULD BE APPLIED THE NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE OVERLAY ALONG THE AREAS THAT ARE CURRENTLY ZONED COMMERCIAL, ALONG THAT INTERSECTION OF GESSNER AND BELTWAY, AND AS WELL AS APPLYING THE ENTRYWAY OVERLAY AT THOSE INTERSECTIONS OF 90 AND BELTWAY. I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION, IF I MAY ASK, DO WE KNOW HOW MANY CARS ACROSS THAT AREA FROM THE BELTWAY TO 90? AND THE REASON I'M ASKING THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS NEEDED OVER THERE IS SOME TYPE OF FOOD. FUNNY THAT YOU SAY THAT. THAT'S ONE OF OUR RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD BE A FOOD HALL IN THAT AREA. BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT PRETTY FREQUENTLY. I KNOW, AND SOME OF OUR STAFF CONVERSATIONS TO, ESPECIALLY WITH THAT BEING ONE OF THE LAST UNDEVELOPED PIECES OF LAND A FOOD HALL HAS DEFINITELY BEEN TALKED ABOUT, AS WELL AS LIKE A LOCAL CHAIN GROCERY STORE TO COME TO THAT AREA AS WELL. NOW, THAT ERROR YOU JUST POINTED OUT RIGHT HERE, COLORING, IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK RIGHT THERE TO PURPLE. WHAT? WHAT IS AVAILABLE THERE. SO THE ONLY AVAILABLE LAND, THIS MAP, BASICALLY ALL THAT IS BLUE, ARE THE UNDEVELOPED LAND THAT WE HAVE ON RECORD. HOWEVER, REALLY, TRULY THE ONLY UNDEVELOPED LAND IS THAT PORTION, THAT PARCEL THAT'S RIGHT AT THE CORNER OF SOUTH GESSNER AND THE BELTWAY.

MANY OF THE OTHER UNDEVELOPED PIECES OF LAND EXIST WITHIN AN INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS PARK. I

[00:50:03]

OH, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE THAT. THAT'S THE ONLY ONE. YEP. THAT'S THE ONLY ONE. MY POINT OF VIEW WOULD BE FOR. WELL, WELL DEVELOPMENT APARTMENT RIGHT THERE. THE 3 MILLION APARTMENT.

IT IS TO ME. RIGHT THERE. THEIR LOCATIONS, THEIR WAREHOUSES ARE THERE. BRING IN FOCUS ON APARTMENT COMPANIES, GATED COMMUNITY. THAT WOULD GENERATE QUITE A BIT OF A. INTEREST. WORK ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BRINGING THEM TOGETHER TO BRING THE PEOPLE TOGETHER TO MOVE FORWARD ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT, INSTEAD OF ADDING MORE, MORE. MORE DEVELOPMENT AS THE WAREHOUSES, WAREHOUSES AND, YOU KNOW, WHICH WOULD WE DO NEED APARTMENTS IN MISSOURI CITY. THAT'S THE PRIME LOCATION THERE TO FOCUS ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT ALONG THE BELTWAY, WHERE THEY CAN EASILY ACCESS IN AND OUT, AND IT WOULD BE A SAFE AREA THERE TO WHERE THEY COULD START SOME DEVELOPMENT THERE. HOUSING. THAT'S TO ME, THAT'S WHAT I WOULD TRY TO, BUT THEY ALREADY HAVE TWO APPLICATIONS FOR THAT PROPERTY THAT THEY HAD IN THEIR. THAT WOULD BE TO ME, THAT WOULD BE AN INTERESTING GETTING TOGETHER WITH DEVELOPERS. AND LOOK, YOU KNOW, LET'S TRY THIS.

COMMUNITY APARTMENT COMPLEX WHICH WE DON'T HAVE HERE AND WHAT WE RUN, I MEAN, BEFORE WE RUN OUT OF MORE LAND. DO YOU WERE TO DEVELOP THAT WOULD BE MY WITH YOU WITH THAT. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. AND THESE LITTLE BLUES ON THE BACK, ON THE FAR END, RIGHT HERE AT THE BOTTOM, FAR LEFT. SAME THING. YEAH. WAREHOUSE SITES, I BELIEVE. YEAH. IT'S ALL INDUSTRIAL. ALL RIGHT, SO JUST TO DISCUSS BRIEFLY THE POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT FOR THE UNDEVELOPED AREAS IN SOUTH GESSNER. I KNOW WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE MULTIFAMILY ALSO TALKING ABOUT A MARKET STYLE DESTINATION HALL THAT WOULD KIND OF GEL WELL WITH THE SUGGESTION OF A NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE CHARACTER ALONG THE UNDEVELOPED LAND ALONG SOUTH GESSNER AND BELTWAY ADDITIONALLY WANT TO SUPPORT THE EMPLOYMENT AND COMMERCE GROWTH IN THIS AREA. SINCE COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL ASSETS ARE BIG IN THIS AREA, SO IT'S REALLY IDEAL FOR EMPLOYMENT BASED REDEVELOPMENT. SO TO CREATE AN AREA THAT WILL ATTRACT BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND MAINTAIN COMPATIBILITY WITH THE NEARBY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS. AND THIRD WOULD BE TO CAPITALIZE ON RAIL AND REGIONAL ACCESS IN THIS AREA. SO REDEVELOPING ALONG THE RAILROAD CORRIDORS WOULD ENHANCE THE VISUAL APPEAL AND TAP INTO REGIONAL CONNECTIVITY AS WELL, AND POSITION THE AREA AS A FUTURE EMPLOYMENT AND ACTIVITY CENTER. ANY QUESTIONS? NO. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO FOCUS AREA THREE, TEXAS PARKWAY. SO I KNOW JENNIFER HAS ALREADY INTRODUCED THIS KEYWORD HODGEPODGE. THAT WAS THE KEYWORD OF THE NIGHT WITH CITY COUNCIL AND PROVIDING SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT THE TEXAS PARKWAY RECOMMENDATIONS, HOW THE CURRENT LAND USES AND THE CURRENT ZONING ALONG TEXAS PARKWAY ARE ALL ACROSS THE BOARD. ANYTHING BETWEEN SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL TO INDUSTRIAL AND

[00:55:05]

[01:00:03]

AND THE REASON WHY IS AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT HCC PROPERTY AND WHERE CITY HALL IS KIND OF POSITION, WE HAVE TO BRING PEOPLE INTO THIS AREA IN ORDER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE AND REALLY KIND OF MAXIMIZE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES. SO WHAT IS DEVELOPED THERE IN THOSE GATEWAYS COMING INTO AND OUT OF OUR CITY ARE CRITICAL TO BRING MORE TRAFFIC OR TO BRING, YOU KNOW, THAT MARKET DOWN FURTHER ONTO TEXAS PARKWAY. I HAVE A QUESTION, AND IT'S PERTAINING TO THE PROPERTY THAT OLAJUWON OWNS. HAS THERE BEEN ANY CONVERSATION WITH HIM ABOUT SELLING SOME OF THE FRONTAGE PROPERTY SO THAT SOME PADS COULD BE PUT THERE FOR RESTAURANTS? NOT NECESSARILY A SIT DOWN, BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME CARS THAT ARE COMING FROM STAFFORD THAT ARE GOING TO THE MEDICAL CENTER OR DOWNTOWN. SO THE ARGUMENT CAN'T BE THAT THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TRAFFIC IN THAT AREA. RIGHT? THERE WOULD BE A VERY VIABLE AREA TO DRAW RETAIL, WHICH WOULD HELP PROVIDE STUFF FOR THE WAREHOUSE EMPLOYEES THAT THAT ARE WORKING ACROSS 90, THAT WHOLE AREA OVER THERE. SO I MEAN THAT THAT PIECE. AND THEN I KNOW THERE'S ANOTHER AREA OVER THERE ALSO THAT GOES WAY BACK, BUT I THINK THAT MAYBE THERE CAN BE SOME CONVERSATION BECAUSE ALL HE'S DONE IN THE PAST, NO DISRESPECT, IN THE PAST 20 YEARS, AS HE'S FINALLY BUILT THOSE OFFICE WAREHOUSES AND THERE'S NOT REALLY ANYBODY OVER THERE. YEAH. AND I'LL SAY WE'VE HAD PERIODIC CONVERSATIONS AND COLLABORATION. SO THAT'S ALWAYS ON THE TABLE. AND THERE'S BEEN DIFFERENT ITERATIONS THAT HAVE LOOKED AT SOME COMMERCIAL PADS AND SOME MIXED USE IN THAT AREA. SO THAT IS STILL DEFINITELY, YOU KNOW, PART OF THE KIND OF THE TOOLBOX AND LOOKING AT THAT OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY IS IN A VERY PRIME LOCATION IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA. AND THEN WHAT I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST WITH THAT IS, IS I KNOW SOME OF THE FEEDBACK WE'VE GOTTEN FROM SOME OF THE OFFICES AND WAREHOUSES OVER THERE IS THAT AREA IS DISCONNECTED, YOU KNOW, FROM OUR MAIN CORRIDOR. SO THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT ANY EMPLOYERS OR ANY, YOU KNOW, EMPLOYEES AND SOME OF THOSE BUSINESS PARKS, IF THEY ARE TRYING TO COME BACK AND, YOU KNOW, USE FOOD SERVICES OR, YOU KNOW, USE RETAIL SERVICES ON TEXAS PARKWAY OR MISSOURI CITY, THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC PUSHING THEM, GOING EAST, HAVING TO DO A U-TURN AND THEN COMING BACK THIS WAY, YOU KNOW, IT MAKES IT CHALLENGING FOR US TO CAPTURE THAT MARKET. SO WITH THIS IS NOT ONLY CAPTURING THE EXISTING KIND OF TRAFFIC THAT'S GOING DOWN 90, BUT WHERE ARE OUR OPPORTUNITIES TO CONNECT THOSE AREAS TO TEXAS PARKWAY SO THAT WE CAN BRING THAT TRAFFIC BACK ONTO TEXAS PARKWAY AND ACTUALLY INCREASE THE MARKET FOR TEXAS PARKWAY TO DEVELOP. AND I'M GOING TO BRING THIS UP ON THURSDAY. BUT I WANT TO SAY IT NOW MANY KEITH IS A BIG FOOD SERVICE DISTRIBUTOR THAT WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE IN MISSOURI CITY. THEY HAVE A LOT OF BUSINESS THAT THEY DO WITH RETAILERS, HAVE DIALOG WITH THEM BECAUSE THEY MAY BE ABLE TO APPROACH A CUSTOMER OR TWO TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO BUILD SOMETHING OVER HERE ON 90, LEVERAGE THAT. GREAT. SO THAT CONCLUDES MY PART OF THE PRESENTATION. SO FOR FOCUS AREA FOUR I WILL TURN IT OVER TO JUSTIN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MR. SO OUR NEXT FOCUS AREA IS GOING TO BE FIFTH STREET AND INDEPENDENCE BOULEVARD. SORRY. SO HERE WE WANT TO REALLY CAPITALIZE ON THE FACT THAT WE HAVE TWO MAJOR PARKS HERE, AS WELL AS A PRETTY UNDEVELOPED CORRIDOR FOR CERTAIN PARTS OF IT. WITH THE PROPOSED LAND USE DESIGNATIONS, WE'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DID IN THE GESSNER CORRIDOR, WHICH IS DO A LITTLE BIT OF CLEANUP, PUT ALL THE PARKS, FACILITIES

[01:05:05]

AND AGAIN, SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS CORRIDOR. SINCE WE ALREADY HAVE A LOT OF WALKABILITY WITH THE TWO PARKS, WE'RE THINKING MAYBE, MAYBE LIKE A SPORTS VENUE OR HEALTH CORRIDOR, MAYBE TRYING TO ATTRACT MORE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, MORE KEEN ON THAT TYPE OF INDUSTRY, SINCE WE ALREADY HAVE A LOT OF ASSETS IN THIS AREA. SO ANY COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS FOR THIS CORRIDOR? AREA JUST SEEMS TO BE KIND OF LOST. IT'S JUST OUT THERE BY ITSELF. YEAH, I MEAN BUT IT'S CLOSE TO 1092. RIGHT. BUT IT'S JUST. LOST. YOU KNOW, IT IS AN INTERESTING CORRIDOR BECAUSE IT DOES BACK UP RIGHT TO THE CITY OF STAFFORD. AND SO EVEN WITH FELIX COMING IN, I THINK HE GOT A LITTLE CONFUSED ON WHERE THE LINES WERE. BUT INDEPENDENCE IS AN INTERESTING CORRIDOR AS WELL, BECAUSE IT'S SIMILAR TO CARTWRIGHT AND THAT IT'S MORE OF A CITY TRAFFIC CORRIDOR. IT'S NOT LIKE A 1092 OR FORT BEND PARKWAY OR HIGHWAY SIX. SO THE DEVELOPMENT THAT COMES HERE WOULD REALLY SERVE THE LOCAL POPULATION. AND SO WE WANT TO KIND OF GEAR IT TOWARDS THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE. YEAH. BUT BUT JUST TO REMIND THE COMMISSION ON INDEPENDENCE IS YOU CAN GO ALL THE WAY INTO HOUSTON AND ALL THE WAY INTO SUGAR LAND, AND THAT SOMETIMES IS THE PREFERRED ROUTE. YOU KNOW, ONCE LEXINGTON IS, IS BACK FULLY CONSTRUCTED TO GET BETWEEN MISSOURI CITY AND DIFFERENT ACTIVITY AREAS AND RETAIL AREAS IN SUGAR LAND OR HOUSTON. SO IT CAN BE A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT KIND OF CUT THROUGH OF THE CITY. BUT I REALLY WANT TO KIND OF EMPHASIZE ON THE LOOKING AT THIS KIND OF OUT THERE IS WE HAVE TWO MAJOR INVESTMENTS OUT THERE OF STATE PARK AND INDEPENDENCE PARK THAT REALLY PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR DEVELOPMENT TO ENHANCE OR UTILIZE, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS BEING IMPROVED AT THOSE PARKS. AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY AN UNDERUSED OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAVE HERE TO REALLY MAKE THAT DEVELOPMENT CONNECTION. WE SEE IT OFF OF MOORE ROAD, WHERE IN THE COUNTY AND IN STAFFORD CITY, THERE'S AN RV PARK THAT WAS CONSTRUCTED RIGHT NEXT TO STATE PARK. THAT IS AN INVENTIVE IDEA BECAUSE YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO CAN TRAVEL, YOU KNOW, AND USE, YOU KNOW, THAT FACILITY WHILE THEY'RE USING, YOU KNOW, THE PARK, YOU KNOW, FACILITIES. SO YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU KNOW, OUR OUR LAND USE POLICY HERE CAN REALLY LEAN INTO THOSE ASSETS. AND, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT OPPORTUNITIES TO REALLY KIND OF ADVANCE THAT AREA. AND SO, YOU KNOW WHAT WE'VE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT, WE HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF YOUTH SPORTS THAT DON'T HAVE FACILITIES REPRESENTED IN THIS AREA. SEVERAL GROUPS HAVE LOOKED IN THIS AREA AND TRIED TO MAKE, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS WORK, BUT THESE ARE REALLY THOSE OPPORTUNITIES THAT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT'S SO CLOSE TO 1092, SO CLOSE TO TEXAS PARKWAY THAT IF WE COULD REALLY BUILD SOME TRACTION THERE, IT COULD, YOU KNOW, HAVE IMPACTS ON BOTH OF THOSE CORRIDORS AS WELL. HAVE HAVE WE THOUGHT ABOUT WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE PARKS? IT I'M JUST GOING TO SAY LIKE ACTIVE LIFESTYLE ORIENTED COMMERCIAL PLACES. HAVE WE AS PART OF THE I THINK COMMISSIONER PEARSON MENTIONED IT WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TEAM ATTRACTING THOSE TYPES OF BUSINESSES. PART OF HAVING THE HAVING THE PLAN, INSTEAD OF HAVING A PLAN BROUGHT TO US ACTIVE LIFESTYLE, KID FRIENDLY OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES. IF WE'RE THINKING PEOPLE WHO ENJOY PLANTING TREES OR PLANTING WHATEVER, BUT HAVING THOSE TYPE

[01:10:03]

GOTCHA. BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T KNOW, STABLES UNDER CONSTRUCTION. CONSTRUCTION.

RIGHT. RIGHT NOW. SO THAT'S WHAT I MEANT. LIKE AS WE'RE BUILDING IT. OKAY. AND WE DON'T HAVE TO GET STUCK ON BIKES. IT'S JUST SOMETHING I THOUGHT. YEAH, YEAH. AND YOU KNOW. MAKING THOSE SUPPORTING RETAIL KIND OF CLUSTER BECAUSE WE HAVE WHAT USED TO BE SOCCER FOR ALL. AND I THINK THEY HAVE A NEW NAME RIGHT THERE AT 72. AND YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THIS AREA, YOU KNOW, SO IF YOU CAN REALLY BUILD SOME TRACTION, YOU KNOW, AROUND SOME, YOU KNOW, THAT LIKE SPORTING NICHE, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN GET AN IDEA TO KIND OF TIE IT INTO THOSE, THOSE CITY RESOURCES AND TRY TO, YOU KNOW, MAXIMIZE THE RECRUITMENT OF THOSE KIND OF DEVELOPMENTS. I WOULD ASK JUSTIN, IF YOU JUST WANT TO PUT IT BECAUSE I THINK IT'S THE BEST VIEW. IF YOU NOTICE ON THESE PROPERTIES WHERE THE CITY LIMITS LINE IS. SO PARTICULARLY NEXT TO SAME OLD PARK AND HOW INDEPENDENCE ROAD KIND OF CURVES UP, YOU NOTICE THERE'S VERY LITTLE LAND OR THE PROPERTIES ARE SPLIT. SO TO WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ALONG UPON DURING THIS IS ANOTHER AREA TO USE AND MAXIMIZE THOSE PROPERTIES, THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS RIGHT NOW THAT

[01:15:06]

WHAT DO WE WANT TO SEE THESE AREAS DEVELOP INTO? BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO ZONING CONSIDERATIONS, THAT'S PART OF IMPLEMENTATION. THAT'S WHERE WE FIGURE OUT A LITTLE BIT LATER HOW TO MAKE IT COME TO FRUITION. BUT WE GOT TO AGREE ON WHAT THE VISION IS GOING TO BE FIRST, WHICH IS WHAT YOU SEE HERE. SO WE HAVE A WE WANT TO SEE A UNIFIED VISION FOR THIS AREA AND THE ZONING THAT WE USE TO GET THERE. THAT'LL BE PART OF THE IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS LATER.

BUT LET ME GO AHEAD AND GO AND SHOW YOU ALL SOME OF THE IMAGES AND THE AERIAL OF WHAT WE GOT HERE. SO WE DO HAVE A GOOD BIT OF UNDEVELOPED LAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CORRIDOR HERE. AS YOU CAN SEE. I TALKED ABOUT SOME PLACES WHERE WE NEED TO LOOK AT REDEVELOPMENT. THAT WOULD BE THE OLD CVS STORE THAT I BELIEVE IS STILL VACANT AT THE MOMENT, COULD TURN INTO A GROCERY STORE OR A CITYWALK STYLE DEVELOPMENT. WE HAVE SOME EXAMPLES OF THAT ON THE SOUTH SIDE, MAYBE REVAMPING IT COMMERCIAL WISE, MAYBE INCLUDING SOME MORE WALKABILITY, LANDSCAPING, MAKE IT MORE OPEN.

WE ALSO WANT TO COLLABORATE WITH NONRESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OWNERS TO ENHANCE THE OVERALL SHOPPING AND DINING EXPERIENCE, BECAUSE IT'S NOT ALWAYS THE EASIEST THING TO DO TO WALK ALONG. 1092 TO GO FROM, YOU KNOW, PARCEL TO PARCEL. SOMETIMES YOU'RE HAVING TO WALK ON THE ROAD. SO INCREASING WALKABILITY WOULD BE, IN MY OPINION AND STAFF'S OPINION, A BIG PLUS FOR THIS AREA AS WELL. AND IF WE CAN STRATEGICALLY INCREASE THE DENSITY IN THE INFILL PROPERTIES THAT ARE STILL AVAILABLE, YOU KNOW, WITH MID DENSITY HOUSING, MIXED USES OR COMMUNITY SERVICES, THAT WILL TIE INTO AS WELL TO WHAT FELIX PRESENTED TO YOU ALL ON THURSDAY IN TERMS OF REALLY CAPITALIZING ON THIS PRIME CORRIDOR THAT WE HAVE, THAT BOTH MAKE THIS CORRIDOR FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE IN TERMS OF DEVELOPMENT, BUT ALSO A GREAT PLUS TO THE COMMUNITY IN TERMS OF FEEL AND PEOPLE WANTING TO BE, YOU KNOW, DRIVING AND WALKING AND EXPERIENCING, YOU KNOW, BEING ABLE TO PLAY HERE OR WORK HERE AND, YOU KNOW, APPRECIATE THEIR COMMUNITY. SO I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. OF COURSE, ON 1092 WHERE YOU HAVE THE STARBUCKS, THE OIL CHANGE PLACE, AND THEN YOU HAVE THOSE, I GUESS, WHAT ARE THOSE? ARE THERE HOMES OR TOWNHOMES? ARE THEY GOING TO BUILD THOSE ALL THE WAY TO THE FRONTAGE, OR IS THAT FRONTAGE SECTION GOING TO BE AVAILABLE? YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SPEAKING OF. YEAH YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT LEXINGTON TOWNHOMES. YES.

TOWNHOMES. YES. SO THEY ARE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. THEY ARE TOWNHOMES, BUT THEY'RE DOING

[01:20:02]

HOWEVER, WE HAVE WE HAVE HAD A PRE-DEVELOPMENT MEETING FOR A MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPER THAT IS PROPOSING TO TAKE A PORTION OF THAT COMMERCIAL. SO IT WOULDN'T BE ALL THE COMMERCIAL, IT WOULD BE A PORTION OF IT BASICALLY WHERE THAT OIL CHANGE PLACES. AND I THINK MAYBE LIKE 2 OR 3 SITES WHERE THAT ENTRANCE IS, AND THEN THE REST THEY'RE PROPOSING FOR IT TO BE MULTIFAMILY. OKAY. MR. I CAME AT THE PERFECT TIME. ANY OTHER COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, SUGGESTION, RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 1092? NONE OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT I DO FEEL IT'S A HODGEPODGE OF EVERYTHING. AND WHAT I WANTED TO SAY WAS WHEN WE LOOK AT EACH ONE OF THESE CORRIDORS, THEY SHOULD HAVE THEIR OWN UNIQUE IDENTITY SO THAT WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING TO ENLIST BUSINESSES TO COME IN THAT AREA, IT'LL ALL BE COHESIVE. AND SO IT'LL MAKE SENSE FOR AN ADDITIONAL BUSINESS TO COME OVER THERE, BECAUSE THAT'S THE IDENTITY FOR THAT AREA. AND I THINK THAT THAT SHOULD BE PART OF THE APPROACH FOR EACH CORRIDOR, SO THAT WHEN YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO GET BUSINESSES, THEY KNOW THAT FITS IN OVER THERE. YOU KNOW, IF IT'S A STARBUCKS, WHAT TIES IN WITH STARBUCKS, YOU KNOW, OTHER BUSINESSES THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO HAVE OVER THERE ADJACENT TO A STARBUCKS. AND I'M JUST USING THAT FOR AN EXAMPLE. SO AS WE'RE DOING THIS, WE WANT TO AVOID ANY FUTURE HODGEPODGE LOOKS ANYWHERE THAT'S LEFT IN THE CITY. ABSOLUTELY. STAFF AGREES. AND ACTUALLY, I WANT TO GO BACK AND SEE IF WE PUT A DESIGNATED ENTRYWAY DISTRICT NOT ON THIS ONE. IT COULD BE SOMETHING WE CONSIDER ON THE NORTH SIDE OF 1092, MAYBE FOR DESIGNATED ENTRYWAY OR I SEE I NOTICED WE DIDN'T HAVE A DESIGNATED ENTRYWAY OVERLAY FOR THIS ONE.

MAYBE THAT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT ADDS TO THE CHARACTER OF THIS. YEAH. AND I AND WE CAN KIND OF DIVE INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE THE RECOMMENDATIONS RIGHT NOW HAVE WHAT WE'RE CLASSIFYING AS THAT GATEWAY MIXED USE ON THREE CORRIDORS. SO THAT IS THE TEXAS PARKWAY CORRIDOR, THIS 1092 CORRIDOR. AND THEN THE FORT BEND PARKWAY CORRIDOR. AND SO THE THINKING WAS WITH THOSE WERE THREE OF THE PRIMARY KIND OF ENTRY WAYS INTO THE CITY. AND SO THAT REPRESENTED KIND OF A UNIFORM KIND OF VISION FOR THOSE, THOSE AREAS. OKAY. AND WITH THOSE GATEWAYS, THEY WOULD INCORPORATE SOME OF THOSE ENTRYWAY COMPONENTS BECAUSE THEY ARE PRIMARY ROADS IN AND OUT OF THE CITY. SO IT WOULD BE INCORPORATED INTO THAT OVERLAY.

BUT I THINK TO THE POINT OF EACH ONE HAVING ITS OWN IDENTITY, WHETHER OR NOT THAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH ONE GATEWAY MIXED USE, OR WHETHER YOU SEE THAT AS KIND OF, YOU KNOW, FLESHED OUT IN A DIFFERENT WAY. WELL, MAYBE I STATED IT, MAYBE NOT NECESSARILY ITS OWN IDENTITY, BUT IN A SENSE IT'S COHESIVE. OKAY, SO WITH THAT, ALL ACTIONS, ALL POLICIES SHOULD ASK. TO ESTABLISH THE COMMON DESIGNATION CORRIDOR. YES. ALL RIGHT. GOOD DEAL. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GO ON TO FOCUS AREA SIX. AND SO FOCUS AREA SIX WOULD BE CARTWRIGHT ROAD. AND SO CARTWRIGHT ROAD IS GOING TO HAVE THE SUGGESTION OF INCLUDING THE NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE OVERLAY INTO SPECIFICALLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN. WE HAVE SOME SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL IN THAT AREA RIGHT NOW. AND THAT'S REALLY WHERE WE SEE SOME PRIMARY FOR DEVELOPMENT TOWARDS THE NEIGHBORHOOD, MIXED USE, AS WELL AS SOME COMMERCIAL ON THE SOUTH SIDE. SO THIS IS THE PROPOSED LAND USE DESIGNATION. AND THEN THE PROPOSED ZONING RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD REFLECT THAT IN PUTTING POTENTIALLY R4 PATIO CLUSTER RESIDENTIAL, WHICH WOULD, IN STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION, BE THE BEST WAY TO CAPITALIZE ON DEVELOPING THESE PARCELS THAT WE SEE AT THE MOMENT, AS WELL AS SOME OF THE LC2 ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF CARTWRIGHT THAT YOU SEE ON YOUR SCREEN. AND THEN TO SHOW HOW MUCH UNDEVELOPED LAND IS UP FOR GRABS AT THE MOMENT. WE DO HAVE A COUPLE PLACES THAT ARE AREAS OF GOOD STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT. ON THE RIGHT SIDE, YOU'LL SEE SOME OPEN AREAS RIGHT NEXT TO TEXAS PARKWAY, ACTUALLY, WHERE WE HAVE SOME INFILL DEVELOPMENT.

AND THEN ALL THE WAY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN, YOU'LL SEE THAT RED AREA THAT'S CURRENTLY ACTUALLY ON MARKET RIGHT NOW, UNDEVELOPED LAND. AND THAT'S ANOTHER INFILL SITE. AND

[01:25:02]

ZONING CONSIDERATIONS SIMILAR. SO WE DO ALREADY HAVE A LOT OF ESTABLISHED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS. SO THAT LARGE AREA TO THE EAST OF FORT BEND PARKWAY, WHERE THE LABEL CORBIN PARKWAY IS, THAT'S THE AMAZON LOCATION THAT'S ALREADY PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THAT ACREAGE NORTH OF TRAMMEL FRESNO, SOUTH OF LAKE OLYMPIA IS ALL PART OF A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT. WE HAVE THE PARKWAY CROSSING PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AT THE INTERSECTION OF FORT BEND PARKWAY AND LAKE OLYMPIA. SO IT'S THAT GRAY AREA UNDER THE LABEL SEVEN ON THERE. THAT WAS A PLANNED MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT THAT WE HAVEN'T REALLY SEEN COME TO FULL FRUITION, BUT WE ARE STILL CONTINUOUSLY IN TALKS WITH THAT DEVELOPER ON THE OPPORTUNITIES IN THAT AREA. SO A LOT OF OUR DEVELOPMENT IN THAT AREA, WE'VE ALREADY IDENTIFIED WITHIN THOSE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS. HOWEVER, THERE IS STILL OPPORTUNITY TO AS THOSE DEVELOP OUT, TO ALIGN THEM WITH THIS VISION THAT WE'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW. THE OTHER AREA IS JUST NORTH OF STATE HIGHWAY SIX, TO THE WEST OF HIGHTOWER HIGH SCHOOL. THAT IS UNDEVELOPED AT THIS. AT THIS TIME AS WELL, WE SEE THAT AS A PRIME LOCATION, BECAUSE A LOT OF THESE AREAS ARE NOT DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO SINGLE

[01:30:05]

DO WE HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW MANY OF THESE AREAS EITHER CURRENTLY HAD OR HAVE CEMETERY? I KNOW THERE'S LIKE LOTS AROUND. YEAH, THERE'S A HANDFUL. AND I THINK THIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO MAP THAT BECAUSE LIKE WHAT THIS WOULD SUGGEST IS CREATING OR ADDING THOSE INTO A LAND USE CHARACTER, IDENTIFYING IT IN A LAND USE CHARACTER. SO IT SHOWS UP ON THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

SO I KNOW, YOU KNOW, WE'VE WE'VE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATION ABOUT THE CEMETERY IN THIS AREA. BUT TO YOUR POINT, WE HAVE SEVERAL, YOU KNOW, AROUND THE CITY THAT, YOU KNOW, MANY MAY NOT EVEN BE AWARE THAT THEY EXIST. IF MEMORY SERVES, THERE'S LIKE NEIGHBORHOODS BUILT AROUND 1 OR 2 OF THEM. YEAH. YEAH. SEVERAL. OKAY. OKAY. AND THEN AS WE'RE LOOKING TOWARDS WE KNOW OUR SITUATION ON UNDEVELOPED LAND. BUT THE OTHER THING WE NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON IS THE GRAND PARKWAY EXPANSION. AND SO WE KNOW THIS MAY BE DECADES IN THE MAKING, BUT THINGS ARE ALREADY BEING POSITIONED TO DEVELOP ALONG, YOU KNOW, THAT POTENTIAL ROADWAY AND TO SPEED UP THE DEVELOPMENT OF THAT POTENTIAL ROADWAY. AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS, IS THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF TRAFFIC EXPECTED OR PROJECTED TO FLOW THROUGH AND GO THROUGH MISSOURI CITY AS IT'S GOING TO OTHER DESTINATIONS. SO WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LAND USE POLICY, PARTICULARLY ON THE FORT BEND PARKWAY AREA, IS WHAT DOES THAT FUTURE POTENTIAL LOOK LIKE? BECAUSE IF WE PUT IT ALL TOWARDS SINGLE USE KIND OF DEVELOPMENT, ARE WE REALLY MAXIMIZING OUR OPPORTUNITY WITH FUTURE TRAFFIC AND FUTURE DEMAND THAT MAY COME OUT THERE? SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN'T SEE ON THE GROUND TODAY, BUT WE KNOW IS ON THE HORIZON. AND SO OUR OUR POLICY SHOULD REFLECT WHAT THAT POTENTIAL COULD BE. AND WHAT YOU BUYS SOME OF THOSE PARCELS OF LAND THAT THEY'LL SIT ON FOR TEN AND 15 YEARS, THAT'LL TELL YOU. WELL, AND IF YOU SEE THE, THE NOTE ON THERE, WE'RE ALREADY AWARE AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, IT'S ALREADY BEEN PUBLICIZED THAT JOHNSON DEVELOPMENT YOU KNOW THAT DID CNN SIENNA IS NEARING BUILD OUT DID RIVERSTONE MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITY.

THEY'VE ALREADY STARTED TO POSITION THEMSELVES AND OTHER MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITY DEVELOPERS ARE TOO. AND SO UNDERSTANDING KIND OF WHAT THOSE TRENDS ARE AND PICKING UP ON THOSE CUES IS KNOWING THAT THAT DEVELOPMENT, THEY'RE POSITIONING THEMSELVES IN AN AREA WHERE THEY WANT TO BUILD THE NEXT FUTURE SIENNA. AND SO THAT TRAFFIC AND THAT IMPACT IS GOING TO AFFECT MISSOURI CITY. SO WE WANT TO CAPTURE, YOU KNOW, THE POSITIVE ASPECTS OF THAT. BUT THE POLICIES WE PUT INTO PLACE TODAY SET THE STAGE FOR THAT. EXACTLY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. TRAMMEL FRESNO ROAD THIS IS ANOTHER AREA. NEXT SLIDE. SO THIS IS THE AREA THAT INCLUDES THE CINEMARK IN THE FORT BEND TOWN CENTER TOO. BUT AS YOU KNOW SURROUNDING THAT DEVELOPMENT IS A LOT OF UNDEVELOPED ACREAGE. SO THE CITY DOES HAVE A FACILITY JUST NORTH OF TRAMMEL FRESNO, A WATER OR A

[01:35:08]

THAT'S A HOT SPOT. YES. OKAY. AND THEN SUGGESTED ZONING IN THIS AREA. SAME THING AGAIN. YOU KNOW THESE AREAS ARE PRETTY WELL BUFFERED FROM EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. SO REAL OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF LEAN INTO THE NONRESIDENTIAL AND LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, RETAILERS THAT CAN MAXIMIZE THESE FOOTPRINTS KIND OF BECAUSE THAT THE NEW PART OF LAKE SHORE HARBOR KIND OF IS ACROSS THE STREET FROM THAT WALMART. AND I'M PRETTY SURE THE ACREAGE YOU MENTIONED IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE DEVELOPED SOON. BUT I'M CURIOUS AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE SLIDE. BUT THAT GREEN RECTANGLE THAT WAS LISTED AS COMMUNITY FACILITIES, WHAT WAS THE KIND OF THOUGHTS OR HOPES THAT THAT'S THE CITY'S EXPANSION OF THE UTILITY OUT THERE? OKAY. GOTCHA.

YEAH. OKAY. SO THIS IS AN AREA WHERE I KNOW THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS, WE'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT COSTCO AND SAM'S CLUB AND SOME OF THOSE BIG BOX RETAILERS, EVEN SOME OF THE HOME IMPROVEMENT STORES HAVING PRESENCE IN THIS AREA. AND SO THESE MIGHT BE OPPORTUNITIES. BUT WHAT, YOU KNOW, KEEPING IN TRUE FORM WITH OUR RECOMMENDATIONS IS STILL PUSHING THOSE TO NOT JUST BUILD THEIR STANDARD, LIKE SUBURBAN BOX WITH SURFACE PARKING, BECAUSE AGAIN, WE HAVE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF LAND AND THESE RETAILERS, THESE BIG BOX STORES HAVE REINVENTED THEMSELVES TO A CERTAIN DEGREE. SO ANY OPPORTUNITY THAT WE CAN INCORPORATE, YOU KNOW, OTHER USES, WHETHER IT'S, YOU KNOW, REDUCING SETBACKS OR REDUCING SOME OF THOSE PARKING REQUIREMENTS OR REDUCING SOME OF THOSE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS SO THAT THEY CAN MAXIMIZE THE LAND AREA AVAILABLE AND THAT WE CAN GET, YOU KNOW, THE MAXIMUM DEVELOPMENT ON THOSE PROPERTIES.

OKAY. ANY REACTION TO TRAMMEL FRESNO? OKAY. HIGHWAY SIX. ALL RIGHT. HIGHWAY SIX. HIGHWAY SIX, SAME PHILOSOPHY. THE GATEWAY MIXED USE. THIS AGAIN IS ANOTHER AREA WHERE WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF INTEREST AND A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT COMING THROUGH. AND THIS IS AN AREA THAT HAS THE CRAIGMONT RESIDENTIAL. THE SHIPMENTS COVE RESIDENTIAL THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ESTABLISHED. NEW POINT ESTATES IS ALSO OVER IN THIS AREA. BUT THE FRONTAGE OF HIGHWAY SIX AND THE WHAT'S PLANTATION EXTENSION THAT WILL EVENTUALLY CONNECT TO THE WEST TO WHAT'S AND WHAT'S PLANTATION AND KNIGHT ROAD. A LOT OF THAT IS UNDEVELOPED ACREAGE. SO THERE ARE SOME CONSTRAINTS THAT HAVE COME UP WITH THE KNIGHT ROAD CONVERSATION WITH LOW LYING LAND, PARTICULARLY LAND ALONG THAT WHAT'S PLANTATION AREA, AND JUST SOUTH OF THAT. BUT YOU HAVE AREAS ALONG SHIPMENTS COVE THAT WE'VE HAD DEVELOPERS INTERESTED IN BUILDING. WE DO HAVE HARMONY SCHOOLS THAT THEY ARE MOVING FORWARD. THEY HAVE A PERMIT APPLICATION IN THE SYSTEM RIGHT NOW FOR THE AREA JUST EAST ON HIGHWAY SIX. AND THEN WE HAVE LOVETT COMMERCIAL THAT'S STILL OWNS A LOT OF THAT COMMERCIAL FRONTAGE IN FRONT OF CRAIGMONT. SO WHAT THIS WOULD DO IS, AGAIN, TO WORK WITH THOSE DEVELOPERS ON KIND OF A UNIFORM VISION THAT CAN WORK FOR THE CITY AND FOR THEM TO GET THE BEST BENEFIT OF

[01:40:06]

YEAH. AND I THINK I THINK IN TERMS OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, DEFINITELY FROM THE COMMISSION IS CONSENSUS ON VISION AND JUST KIND OF LIKE THE COMPONENTS OF THOSE VISION, THAT VISION, SO THAT THEN WE CAN BRING BACK TO YOU ALL, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT WAYS THAT YOU CAN IMPLEMENT OR DIFFERENT TOOLS THAT CAN BE ADOPTED TO HELP IMPLEMENT THAT VISION. AND I THINK TO LIKE THE CHAIR'S POINT ON, YOU KNOW, THE FEASIBILITY OF MIXED USE. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, INCORPORATING LIKE FISCAL ANALYSIS IS WE WANT THE VISION ULTIMATELY TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S ATTAINABLE. AND SO GOING THROUGH THIS WHOLE PROCESS AND DOING SOMETHING THAT'S NOT TETHERED TO REALITY OR TETHERED, YOU KNOW, TO THE ACTUAL, YOU KNOW, OUR REALITY IS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT JUST TRYING TO PUT SOMETHING ON PAPER, BUT WE REALLY WANT SOMETHING THAT THE CITY CAN, YOU KNOW, GET BEHIND THAT YOU ALL ARE PROUD OF, THAT YOU ALL CAN TAKE AND CHAMPION DEFINITELY THAT THE CITY COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, BELIEVES IS THE FUTURE FOR THE CITY SO THAT THEY CAN CHAMPION IT AS WELL. SO WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR THAT THAT INPUT FROM YOU ALL. NOT SOME PIE IN THE SKY. NO. JUST TO GET RID OF THE HODGEPODGE SITUATION THAT WE CLEAN IT UP. WELL, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THIS IS GOING TO BE PIE IN THE SKY. I MEAN, I DON'T CARE. THERE'S NOTHING LISTED HERE. AND I KNOW IT'S JUST PROBABLY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN RIGHT NOW, BUT SOME VERSION OF A HEALTH CARE OPPORTUNITY ZONE, SOME VERSION OF THAT NEEDS TO EXIST. AND MAYBE IT'S ON FOCUS AREA TEN. I THINK COMMISSIONER IS GOING TO SAY THAT UNTIL HE SEES THAT UP THERE, AS LONG AS WE KNOW AS LONG AS WE KNOW. BUT I HONESTLY THOUGH I THINK. AND MAYBE I NEED TO I'M NOT GOING TO SCALE DOWN MY OWN DREAM, BUT I THINK A VERSION OF A, A MEDIUM SIZED HEALTH CARE FACILITY WHERE OUR AGING POPULATION, THE YOUNGER POPULATION THAT WE DESIRE TO COME IN, CAN HAVE BABIES, GET BONES SET UP, HAVE SOME TYPE OF TREATMENT. I REALLY THINK IT'S A BLIND SPOT FOR THE CITY AS A WHOLE TO NOT HAVE SOMETHING, AT LEAST ON A FUTURE ROADMAP. IF I REMEMBER. A COUPLE YEARS AGO, THERE WERE SOME CONVERSATION WITH ONE OF THE LARGER HOSPITALS ABOUT SOMETHING OUT IN MISSOURI CITY, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IS NEEDED. SINCE THE HERMANN HOSPITAL, WHERE THE LOEWS IS, WAS TAKEN AWAY. WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING HERE. AND SO AS A BEDROOM COMMUNITY, WE HAVE LOTS OF FOLKS THAT ARE GOING TO WORK IN THE MEDICAL CENTER. MAYBE WE CAN KEEP SOME OF THEM HERE. YEP. AND A LOT OF THEM HAVE TO TAKE THE FORT BEND TOLL ROAD TO 90 TO GET HOME. I KNOW THAT NEW, I GUESS, LUXURY APARTMENTS AREA THAT'S BEING BUILT KIND OF IN THIS AREA. IS THERE THE GREAT EXAMPLE JUSTIN PUT UP WITH THE NEAR CITY HALL RIGHT HERE WITH WHATEVER DISCUSSIONS WE'RE HAVING, IF HTC IS GOING TO BE A FOUR YEAR INSTITUTION NOW, MAYBE THEY HAVE SOME HEALTH RESEARCH COMPONENTS TO THEIR CURRICULUM THAT COULD BE ADDED TO. SO I'M RAMBLING, BUT YOU ALL KNOW HOW I FEEL. SO WE'RE TRYING TO BRING SPORT SPORTS COMPLEXES. WE NEED TO PLAN IN CASE SOMETHING ACCIDENTALLY HAPPENS IN THE SPORTS COMPLEX. AND THAT'S HOW WE NEED TO, YOU KNOW, KIND OF THINK THROUGH THOSE KIND OF THINGS. BECAUSE THE OTHER PART OF IT IS, IS THERE'S ONLY A LIMITED AREAS WHERE THOSE TYPES OF USES ARE A GOOD FIT. AND IF

[01:45:08]

THEY CAN SERVICE. YEAH. IN IN MORE IN NEIGHBORHOODS. I MEAN YOU'RE STARTING TO SEE A LOT OF THEM POP UP. BUT BUT IF YOU GO DOWN THE LIST OF DOCTORS, YOU, YOU REALIZE THAT THEY'RE ONLY COVERING SOME, YOU KNOW, SOME PRETTY GENERIC GENERAL KIND OF THINGS. YEAH. YOU KNOW, IF YOU IF YOU REALLY NEED, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING SPECIALIZED, SPECIALIZED LIKE THAT, YOU'RE GOING TO GO END UP GOING TO ONE OF THEIR BIGGER FACILITIES. YEAH. JUST PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS. YEAH. YEAH. NORMALLY WHAT'S IN THERE? WE JUST HAVE TO BE INTENTIONAL. YEAH, YEAH. AND BUT THIS IS WHERE YOU SET THAT INTENTION, YOU KNOW. SO IT'S MAKING SURE THAT IF IT'S THE OVERLAYS OR, YOU KNOW, THE GATEWAYS OR YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE THAT THOSE OVERLAYS ARE DESIGNED TO SAY THESE ARE, YOU KNOW, OUR OPPORTUNITIES TO PROVIDE, YOU KNOW, FOR THESE TYPES OF DEVELOPMENTS AND THEN MAKING SURE THEY'RE CONFIGURED, YOU KNOW, TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT, YOU KNOW, WHAT THOSE DEVELOPMENTS NEED TO BE ABLE TO LOCATE. IS THERE A SPECIFIC EXCUSE ME ZONING TOOL THAT'S NEEDED FOR A HEALTHCARE FACILITY AT THE KIND OF SIZE AND SCOPE? THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE DISCUSSED, WE CAN ADD, I THINK LIKE TO THE OVERLAYS LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN CARVE OUT DIFFERENT USES. I THINK LIKE THE TEXAS PARKWAY OVERLAY. YOU KNOW, WE WERE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE YOUTH INDOOR SPORTS OR ENTERTAINMENT OR. HOSPITALITY KIND OF SERVICES. GOTCHA. SO YOU CAN YOU CAN YOU CAN DO IT IN A WAY THAT THE OVERLAYS INCENTIVIZE, YOU KNOW, ANCHOR, YOU KNOW, KIND OF DEVELOPMENT, YOU KNOW, AND THEN OTHER THINGS MIGHT BE ACCESSORY TO IT, MIGHT NOT, YOU KNOW, HAVE AS BIG OF A FOOTPRINT OR, YOU KNOW, A BIG OF AN ALLOWANCE, BUT YOU CAN KIND OF STRUCTURE IT THAT WAY. WELL, IT'D BE GREAT TO SEE THAT INTO YOUR INTENT. I'D LOVE TO SEE THAT LANGUAGE IN THIS FOCUS AREA SIMILAR TO WHAT THE CHAIR HAD JUST RECOMMENDED, AS WELL AS THE LAST, I THINK IT WAS EIGHT AROUND THE FORT BEND TOLL ROAD IS MY POINT. I'D LOVE TO SEE THAT LANGUAGE IN THERE. SO AT LEAST WE HAVE IT IN THERE. IN CASE WHOMEVER COMES AND SAYS, HEY, WE'RE THINKING ABOUT BUILDING A HOSPITAL TO SERVE 250 TO 500 PEOPLE, WHATEVER. OKAY, OKAY. I HAD AN EXAMPLE OF MY NEIGHBOR HE HAD TO CALL THE MISSOURI CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE OF HER DAUGHTER HAD WAS HAVING A SEIZURE, AND THEY ENDED UP IN SUGARLAND, 59. AT 99. WHERE THEY WERE CORRECT? YEAH. WOW. YEAH. SO THE REASON I KNOW,

[01:50:10]

AND PART OF THAT RECOMMENDATION CAME BECAUSE AT WHAT'S JUST NORTH OF WATTS IS WHERE THE FORT BEND TOWN CENTER THREE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. SO YOU HAVE THE METRO PARK AND RIDE GARAGE YOU HAVE WHO'S BUILDING A MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT THERE. IT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW. WHAT'S THE SEGMENT FROM KNIGHT TO? BASICALLY THE EDGE OF THAT DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN EXTENDED. AND SO YOU HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS MOVING CLOSER TO THIS AREA. AND WHAT YOU DON'T SEE FROM THIS KIND OF VIEW IS JUST NORTH OF THAT IS THE FORT BEND PARKWAY. SO AGAIN, WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF THE PROJECTIONS OF THE PARKWAY, THE CONNECTIONS OF THE PARKWAY, THIS IS AN AREA THAT'S WITHIN THE SHADOW OF THAT PARKWAY AS WELL. SO THE RECOMMENDATION CARRYING FORWARD WAS THAT COMMERCIAL, I WILL SAY, FOR THE COMMISSION, IF YOU DID FOLLOW THE COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON THIS, AND, YOU KNOW, THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN VERY IN TUNE TO WHAT THIS POLICY COULD BE. THERE WERE RECOMMENDATIONS AT THE COUNCIL LEVEL OF DOING TRANSITION AND NOT DOING COMMERCIAL WHERE ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL. SO THERE WAS DISCUSSION ON THAT LEFT SIDE OR THE WEST SIDE OF KNIGHT FOR THAT AREA TO BE RESIDENTIAL IN LAND USE, AND THEN PICK UP COMMERCIAL ON THE WEST SIDE OF KNIGHT ROAD THAT ISN'T DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL. SO THAT WAS SOME OF THE DISCUSSION THAT WAS HAPPENING AT THE COUNCIL LEVEL ON JUST KIND OF WHAT THE FUTURE DIRECTION OF THIS AREA COULD BE. DIDN'T WE JUST LEARN THAT LARGER HOMES DON'T BRING A LOT OF REVENUE? I'M JUST ASKING JUST SO I'LL SAY IN THE SENSE OF THAT'S

[01:55:05]

HOW DEEP IS THAT? THE LIKE THE I KNOW THIS IS JUST A SUGGESTED PICTURE, BUT SOME OF THE WATERWAYS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IT. SO I THINK IT DEPENDS ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE. SO LIKE IN THAT PICTURE THAT COULD BE A DETENTION AREA OR DETENTION FACILITY, AND THAT WOULD BE BASED ON WHATEVER THE CALCULATIONS ARE, YOU KNOW, FOR WHAT IT'S SUPPORTING. SO I THINK IT, IT CAN, IT CAN, YOU KNOW, FLUCTUATE. I ASK BECAUSE THIS IS AN OUT OF THE BOX THOUGHT THAT PROBABLY I'M NOT GOING TO PREFERENCE IT. THINKING ABOUT THINKING ABOUT THE WOODLANDS.

YEAH I GUESS I CAN NEVER PLAY POKER. YOU KNOW WHERE I'M GOING. BUT NO, I WONDER IF THERE ARE SOME ON ON WATER ACTIVITIES THAT WE COULD LEVERAGE TO THE TO THE CITY. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE DISCOVERY GREEN IN HOUSTON, BUT A VERSION OF THAT MAYBE NOT A BOAT RENTAL, BUT SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT. CANOEING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THERE'S PLENTY OF PEOPLE WHO FISH AT THE COMMUNITY PARK BACK IN THE DAY, AT SOME OF THE DRAINAGE ON FIFTH STREET, YOU CAN DRIVE BY AND SEE THEM. SO I'M JUST WONDERING IF THERE'S SOME TYPE OF ON WATER ACTIVITIES WE COULD LEVERAGE TO, TO UTILIZE THE SPACE. YEAH. GOOD POINT. I REALLY TELEGRAPHED THAT ONE. I DIDN'T EVEN GET IT OUT THERE JUST LIKE. I. SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FROM THE CORRIDORS AND WE ARE ALMOST FINISHED BECAUSE I KNOW WE'RE PROBABLY SPENT WE'VE BEEN KIND OF THROWING INFORMATION OUT THERE JUST REALLY QUICKLY WITH THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE. WE'RE LOOKING AT INCORPORATING SOME POLICIES FOR LOCATIONS OF CHILD CARE FACILITIES. PLACES OF ASSEMBLIES HAS BEEN A PROMINENT DISCUSSION THROUGHOUT THE CITY. AND THEN TELECOMMUNICATIONS OR CELL TOWERS AND INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT CELL TOWERS. AND SO WHAT THE SUGGESTION IS, IS FOR THOSE ASSEMBLY USES AND CELL TOWER USES IS TO PUT SPECIFIC STATEMENTS INTO THE PLAN THAT IDENTIFY APPROPRIATE LOCATION

[02:00:07]

YOU KNOW, THE PREFERENCE WOULD BE FOR CELL TOWERS TO WORK WITH PUBLIC LAND AND AS FAR AWAY AS FROM NONRESIDENTIAL AREAS AS FEASIBLE. KNOWING WHAT THE PARAMETERS ARE THAT THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO SUPPORT, YOU KNOW, ALL TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT, RESIDENTIAL AND NON. WERE YOU ABOUT TO SAY SOMETHING? I HAVE A QUESTION. GO AHEAD AND FINISH. OKAY. AND I CAN I CAN STOP THERE ON ON CELL TOWERS. AND THEN IF YOUR QUESTION IS ON THAT, HOW FAR DOWN CAN YOU DRILL IN REFERENCE TO? WE HAD THE DISCUSSION ABOUT SMOKE SHOPS AND BEING ABLE TO CURTAIL OR MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF THOSE TYPES OF BUSINESSES WITHIN A CERTAIN AREA. WE HAVE OTHER TYPES OF BUSINESSES, WHICH I SHALL NOT SAY IN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE CITY THAT TEND TO BE MORE PREVALENT IN THEIR MULTIPLE TYPES OF THOSE SERVICES. THERE ARE MULTIPLE BUSINESSES THAT PROVIDE THE SAME SERVICES IN A TWO MILE RADIUS. I MEAN, HOW DO WE DRILL DOWN, OR IS IT POSSIBLE LEGALLY TO BE ABLE TO I MEAN, THAT'S THAT'S A CHALLENGE. YOU CAN'T, YOU KNOW, THEY DOT THE I'S AND CROSS THE T'S. BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS, YOU KNOW, IS YOU GO TO THE WOODLANDS AND YOU DON'T HAVE A PLETHORA OF THE SAME BUSINESS THERE. I MEAN, IS THAT POSSIBLE? YEAH, I'LL PUT IT IN THE SENSE OF, AGAIN, LIKE THE OVERLAYS, YOU CAN USE OVERLAYS TO IDENTIFY AND KIND OF LIKE GROUPINGS OF USE. THE THING YOU DON'T WANT TO DO IS, IS GET IN THE WAY OF THE MARKET. RIGHT.

BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT THE CITY TO DICTATE, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, KIND OF MARKET DEMAND BECAUSE WE CAN'T. SO YOU DON'T WANT, YOU KNOW, THE CITY TO KIND OF, YOU KNOW, MUDDY ITSELF IN THAT. BUT DEFINITELY USING THOSE OVERLAYS, USING INTENT BEHIND THOSE OVERLAYS, YOU CAN IDENTIFY KIND OF, YOU KNOW, STRATEGICALLY, YOU KNOW, WHERE SOME OF THESE USES COULD GO BECAUSE I'LL TELL YOU, LIKE, RIGHT NOW OUR POLICY IS, IS WE HAVE GENERAL RETAIL DISTRICTS, GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS AND THE YOU KNOW, OUR POLICY HAS BEEN, YOU KNOW, COMMERCIAL ALONG OUR MAJOR THOROUGHFARES. SO THERE'S NO REAL IDENTITY THAT DISTINGUISHES HIGHWAY SIX FROM TEXAS PARKWAY OR TEXAS PARKWAY FROM FONDREN. IT'S ALL WHEREVER THERE'S COMMERCIAL. YOU KNOW, THAT SET OF USES IS A PERMITTED USE. THIS WOULD KIND OF IDENTIFY THAT, YOU KNOW, TEXAS PARKWAY IS A KEY, YOU KNOW, KIND OF CORRIDOR GATEWAY INTO OUR CITY. 1092 IS A KEY GATEWAY INTO OUR CITY. FORT BEND PARKWAY IS A KEY GATEWAY INTO OUR CITY. AND THIS IS THE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF MIX OF USES THAT WE WANT TO SEE WITHIN THESE CORRIDORS. SO YOU CAN USE THE OVERLAYS IN THAT REGARD. OKAY.

WE'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT. THANK YOU. OKAY. I ASSEMBLY USES. WE ARE RECOMMENDING SOME POLICY GUIDANCE ON THAT TO IDENTIFY APPROPRIATE LOCATIONS BASED ON SIZE. SO A SMALL SCALE ASSEMBLY USE A MID-SIZE ASSEMBLY. USE A LARGE SCALE ASSEMBLY USE AND TYING THOSE TO HOW THE ROADWAYS ARE DESIGNED SO THAT THERE'S SOME SPECIFIC STANDARDS. AND EVERY TIME AN ASSEMBLY COMES BEFORE YOU OR YOU KNOW IS LOOKING TO IDENTIFY A LOCATION, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT TRYING TO USE ARBITRARY KIND OF FACTORS TO IDENTIFY WHERE THOSE APPROPRIATE LOCATIONS ARE. AND SO WE KNOW WHAT THOSE ASSEMBLY USES. WE USUALLY GET CONCERNS WITH IMPACTS ON TRAFFIC IMPACTS ON ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL USES FROM NOISE TO LIGHTING. YOU KNOW, THOSE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF CONFLICT AREAS. SO THIS WOULD PROVIDE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF THAT GENERAL POLICY TO IDENTIFY THAT ON, YOU KNOW, THOSE MAJOR ROADS, THOSE STATE HIGHWAYS MAY NOT BE THE APPROPRIATE LOCATION FOR THAT SET OF USES. BUT ON SOME OF OUR COLLECTOR ROADS, OUR ARTERIAL ROADS THAT ARE STILL DESIGNED TO MOVE TRAFFIC, BUT THAT ARE ALSO DESIGNED FOR DRIVEWAYS TO CONNECT AND DRIVEWAYS TO PROVIDE ACCESS, THAT THOSE USES MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE IN SOME OF THOSE LOCATIONS. SO WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO IDENTIFY, YOU KNOW, KIND OF THAT SET OF POLICY SO THAT YOU HAVE THAT WHEN YOU'RE CONSIDERING A NEW ASSEMBLY, USE LOCATION AND THROWING IN THE

[02:05:06]

OR, YOU KNOW, IF THERE ARE CONSIDERATIONS TO EXPAND WHERE THOSE TYPES OF BUSINESSES CAN GO. SO THE COUNCIL HAD DISCUSSION ON THAT. THEY ARE INTERESTED IN LOOKING. THEY'RE INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT WHAT OUR ADJACENT COMMUNITIES AND OTHER SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES HAVE IN PLACE. SAFETY IS ONE OF THE PRIMARY GOALS, BUT THEN ALSO JUST MAKING SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, OUR BUSINESS FRIENDLY KIND OF APPROACH DOES NOT CREATE A BARRIER FOR THESE TYPES OF USES.

WELL, AND TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, WE DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF LAND FOR THEM TO GO AND BUILD A FREESTANDING FACILITY. STANDALONE FACILITY? YEAH. GOOD POINT, GOOD POINT. OKAY.

ESPECIALLY AMONG THE CORRIDORS. AND WE'LL TALK. NATIONAL PARK. YEAH. AND THAT PROBABLY ISN'T A GOOD LOCATION ON SOME OF THOSE MAJOR, MAJOR CORRIDORS. I THINK THERE WAS ONE OF THE SLIDES LIKE 1090 2ND MAY HAVE SOME APPROPRIATE LOCATIONS OR SOME SOME POTENTIAL LOCATIONS, BUT REALLY JUST KIND OF LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, WHERE THOSE THOSE SHOULD BE PLACED, YOU KNOW, CLOSER TO PLACES OF EMPLOYMENT, CLOSER TO HOMES, CLOSER TO SCHOOLS, YOU KNOW, JUST LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE. OKAY. NEXT SLIDE. I JUST YOU CAN KEEP KEEP IT ON THIS SLIDE. I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST ON THAT LAST SECTION ON THE LAST SLIDE AROUND TELECOMMUNICATIONS, I WOULD EXPAND THAT BECAUSE THAT'S IT SEEMS LIKE A VERY DATED TERM. I KNOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CELL TOWERS, BUT IF WE'RE TRYING TO THINK ABOUT BEING A SMART CITY, WE SHOULD HAVE THAT SECTION INCLUDE LIKE LAYING DOWN FIBER OPTICS. WI-FI EXTENDERS. I THINK THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED TO KIND OF PREP US FOR FUTURE USE VERSUS JUST CELL ONE. OKAY. ALRIGHTY. WELL, THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR DISCUSSION TONIGHT. I JUST HAVE ONE MORE ITEM THAT STAFF WOULD LIKE YOUR FEEDBACK ON AND THAT IS ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GOALS. SO AS YOU KNOW, AS PART OF THIS PROCESS, WE ARE EVALUATING THE 2017 PLAN. THAT INCLUDES THE GOALS. THE ORIGINAL PLAN HAD FIVE GOALS AND WE ARE PROPOSING TWO AMENDMENTS. SO I WILL JUST QUICKLY RUN THROUGH THESE. AND THEN IF WE COULD GET YOUR FEEDBACK AT THE END. SO FIRST GOAL A MORE COHESIVE CITY.

SECOND A MORE VARIED DEVELOPMENT TO MOVE BEYOND A BEDROOM COMMUNITY. THIRD WOULD BE TO FOR AN ONGOING AND INCREASING FOCUS ON NEIGHBORHOOD INTEGRITY AND COMMERCIAL REDEVELOPMENT. AND AN AMENDMENT TO THIS WOULD BE TO PROMOTE COMPATIBLE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH PROTECTING RESIDENTIAL AREAS THROUGH RESIDENTIAL ADJACENCY STANDARDS, WHICH WOULD BE TO IMPLEMENT SITE DESIGN, BUFFERING, LANDSCAPING AND IMPACT REVIEWS. FOURTH GOAL WOULD STAY THE SAME PUBLIC AND PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN PRACTICES THAT ENCOURAGE RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND PROTECTION. FIVE QUALITY DESIGN AND COMMUNITY APPEARANCE. AND THE SIXTH GOAL THAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS TO PROMOTE FISCALLY SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES, AND THAT WOULD BE TO USE FISCAL ANALYSIS TO GUIDE LAND USE DECISIONS THAT PROMOTE LONG TERM FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OR SUSTAINABILITY, WHILE MAINTAINING A STRONG FOCUS ON COMMUNITY WELL-BEING, NEIGHBORHOOD QUALITY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP. SO DO YOU ALL HAVE ANY FEEDBACK ON THAT? JUST THE ONE I JUST MENTIONED SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF EMBRACE OF FUTURE FORWARD MINDSET FOR THE CITY TO I DON'T WANT TO SAY DIGITAL FIRST. I KNOW IT'S KIND OF A BUZZWORD, BUT JUST HAVE HAVE THAT AS A GOAL TO BE. YOU CAN

[02:10:02]

AND I HAVE ONE. IF YOU WERE GOING TO MAKE NOTES, I'M JUST READING THE SECOND ONE WHERE IT SAYS MORE VARIED DEVELOPMENT TO MOVE BEYOND A BEDROOM COMMUNITY PERCEPTION OF MISSOURI CITY. AND I'M JUST THINKING OUT LOUD, WE WANT MISSOURI CITY TO BE A DESTINATION CITY TO COME TO, TO LIVE, TO WORK AND TO PLAY. I'M SORRY. SO I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE A GOAL. ONE, YOU WANT TO PUT THAT OUT THERE SO YOU CAN SEE HERE IT AND THAT'S THE ONE YOU WANT TO MAKE AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE TO GET THEM TO SEE THE VISION OF WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO SAY SO RESTRUCTURING THAT NUMBER TWO.

YEAH, WE'RE JUST ADDING THAT. YEAH. MAYBE ADDING THOSE ASPECTS TO IT. YEAH, YEAH. I STILL LIKE TO HEAR PROMOTING COMPATIBLE DEVELOPMENT LIKE THAT. WE DO REALLY NEED TO CONSIDER A CONVENTION CENTER AND HCC LOT THAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER AND THE ONE ADJACENT. PRIME LOCATION RIGHT THERE. IS CORRIDOR. THAT'S MY LAST. HAS PLENTY LAND. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER FEEDBACK. VERY GOOD. OH OKAY. WELL IF THERE'S NO MORE FEEDBACK I WILL GO ON TO OUR LAST SLIDE, WHICH YES, IS OUR NEXT STEPS. SO IT WAS MENTIONED BEFORE THE COMMUNITY QUESTIONNAIRE AND OPEN HOUSE. WE WILL BE PREPARING THE QUESTIONNAIRE AND WE'LL BE SENDING IT OUT TO YOU ALL FOR REVIEW. AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE LAUNCHING THAT BEFORE OUR OPEN HOUSE ON AUGUST 23RD. SO JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW, WE ARE HAVING AN OPEN HOUSE AUGUST 23RD HERE, I BELIEVE AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER STARTS AT 9 A.M. ALSO INCLUDES LEGISLATIVE UPDATES AT THAT MEETING AS WELL. JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW, THERE IS SOME PROMOTION THAT IS BEING PUT OUT BY THE CITY. SO AS AMBASSADORS, IF YOU ALL COULD PLEASE PROMOTE THAT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. AND THEN BEYOND THAT, AFTER THE OPEN HOUSE WOULD BE OUR JOINT SESSION WITH CITY COUNCIL AND PNC COMMISSION. SO THAT IS YET TO BE SCHEDULED. THAT WILL COME AFTER THE OPEN HOUSE, AND THEN HOPEFULLY WE'LL MOVE MORE TOWARDS PLAN ADOPTION AND TO ACTUALLY AMEND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND MOVE TOWARDS PLAN IMPLEMENTATION AS WELL. AND AS ALWAYS, YOU CAN ALWAYS CHECK THE WEBSITE FOR ANY UPDATES. SO ANY FINAL QUESTIONS COMMENTS I'M GOING TO KEEP BRINGING THIS BACK UP. THE PRESENTATION THAT WE HAD LAST THURSDAY. I THINK IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THAT PRESENTATION IS DONE BEFORE CITY COUNCIL. WE ALL AGREE WITH YOU. I LIKE THE PART THAT HE MENTIONS SO WE DON'T LOSE PROPERTY VALUE.

THAT WAS THE KEY POINT, A SELLING POINT IN MY END. WE DEVELOPED A CELL TOWER. WE'RE NOT GOING TO LOSE. PROPERTY, THAT WE'RE GOING TO GAIN FROM GET MORE CONNECTION. AND I THINK IF WE CAN GET THAT DATA TO YOU ALL AS A COMMISSION, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE SPOKEN IT MANY TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEARS, BUT IF YOU HAVE THAT DATA WHERE YOU CAN SAY AND YOU CAN POINT TO, YOU KNOW, KIND OF REAL HISTORICAL TRENDS, BECAUSE THEN THAT WAY YOU CAN MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS, YOU KNOW, BASED ON, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, SOLID INFORMATION. ABSOLUTELY. THAT IS ALL WE HAVE FOR YOU ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. SO WE'LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO THE CHAIR.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION FOR TONIGHT? NO. THEN I THINK WE'LL ADJOURN.
