THE COMMUNAL IN THE CUT OFF. THE CLARITY AND THE CLUTTERED. THE UNDENIABLE AND THE UNINSPIRED. SEEING THE POSSIBILITY IN ONCE THOUGHT PROBLEMS TAKES VISION, DATA DRIVEN DISCIPLINE AND EXPERTISE.

AT THIS TIME, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE APPLICANTS REQUEST 30 DAY EXTENSION PERIODS AND TO POSTPONE CONSIDERATION OF AGENDA. AGENDA ITEM 7B2 IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUESTED EXTENSION PERIODS AND PLACE THE ITEM ON THE NOVEMBER 12TH, 2025 MEETING AGENDA. I'M SORRY I MADE THE MOTION AND SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? THANK YOU. ZONE

[a. Goodwill Community Care, Inc - Specific Use Permit]

PERFECT. WELL, GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. WE RECEIVED A REQUEST FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT ON AN APPROXIMATE 0.45 ACRE TRACT OF LAND TO ALLOW FOR A GENERAL RESIDENTIAL OPERATION, A GENERAL RESIDENTIAL OPERATION PROVIDES 24 HOUR CARE FOR SEVEN OR MORE CHILDREN UNDER THE AGES OF 17. THE SERVICES THEY PROVIDE INCLUDE COUNSELING FOR CHILDREN WITH EMOTIONAL DISORDERS, INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES, AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER, OR PRIMARY MEDICAL NEEDS. THE PROPOSED LOCATION IS AT 407 PLEASANT STREET, NORTH OF FIFTH STREET AND SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 90. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RESIDENTIAL BUILDING LOCATED ON SITE. BECAUSE IT WAS DEVELOPED PRIOR TO THE CITY ADOPTING ZONING, BUT THEN ONCE THE CITY DID ADOPT ZONING IN 1981, THE SITE WAS ZONED AS LC ONE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. THE SITE IS LOCATED IN AN AREA SURROUNDED BY OTHER PLACES OF ASSEMBLY, AS WELL AS SOME HIGHER DENSITY HOMES, AND OVERALL, BECAUSE THE BUILDING IS RESIDENTIAL IN CHARACTER, IT WOULD BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE

[00:15:07]

CORRECT. WE DO NOT HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP OKAY. CAN I GET A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. GOT IT. SECOND. THANK YOU. CAN I GET A MOTION OR DISCUSSION? I GUESS I'VE GOT A QUESTION. IT LOOKS LIKE ABOUT 8 TO 10 RESIDENTS HERE. AND I KNOW I NOTICED A COUPLE OF THINGS IN THE REPORT TALKED ABOUT THEY WOULD NEED TWO PARKING SPACES. THERE'S SOME SIMILAR HOMES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I NOTICED A COUPLE OF THEM HAVE PARKING AWAY SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE. SO I'M WONDERING, IS THAT ENOUGH? IS THERE ENOUGH PARKING HERE? AND IS THE CITY STILL ONLY GOING TO REQUIRE TWO PARKING SPACES TO KEEP VEHICLES OFF THE STREET? SURE. THE I KNOW THE STAFF REPORT DOES MENTION THAT IF THEY HAVE A MINIMUM OF SEVEN CHILDREN, IT WOULD BE AT LEAST TWO PARKING SPACES. WE DEFINITELY CAN INCLUDE IN THE ORDINANCE THAT ANY INCREASE IN CHILDREN WOULD INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES REQUIRED. I THINK RIGHT NOW IT'S BASED OFF OF THE PARKING REGULATIONS OF SECTION 12 SPECIFICALLY FOR INSTITUTIONAL FACILITIES. SO THAT'S ALL THAT'S GOING TO BE REQUIRED WITH WHAT'S IN THERE IS PROBABLY TWO PARKING SPACES. THERE WAS ALSO A NOTED NOTICE OR COMMENTS IN THERE ABOUT DRAINAGE ON SITE. DRAINAGE RETENTION WILL BE REQUIRED. IS THAT JUST GOING TO BE BACK AT THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY SOMEHOW? I DIDN'T SEE ANY SPECIFICS ON WHAT THEY SUBMITTED ON THAT. YEAH, THE OUR PUBLIC WORKS TEAM ENGINEERING TEAM HAS REVIEWED THE SITE. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THEY DETERMINED THAT ANY ADDITIONAL DRAINAGE WOULD BE REQUIRED, BUT IT WILL DEPEND AT THE TIME OF WHEN THEY SUBMIT THE APPLICATION, DEPENDING ON WHEN THEY SUBMIT FOR THEIR BUILDING PERMIT AND THEY SUBMIT THE THE SITE PLAN OF HOW MUCH THEY'RE GOING TO INCREASE THE OR DECREASE THE IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE AT THAT TIME WILL BE DETERMINED ON ON THE DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS AND WHETHER OR NOT THE REGIONAL DETENTION CAN ABSORB THAT, OR IF THEY WILL HAVE TO DO SOME SORT OF ON SITE MITIGATION. I WANT TO IF I CAN GO BACK TO THE PARKING ISSUE, TWO SPOTS BASICALLY WOULD BE FOR TWO STAFF. YOU DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE THAN TWO STAFF MEMBERS THERE AT ANY GIVEN TIME. AND THEN ALSO, WILL THERE BE ANY ASSESSMENTS BEING MADE THERE FROM. MEDICAL PERSONNEL THAT MAY COME TO THE FACILITY OR AN INSPECTOR, ANY OF THAT? SO WAS ANY OF THAT TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN IN TERMS OF THE PARKING, I KNOW THAT THOSE WOULD BE TEMPORARY, BUT YOU WOULD THINK THAT THERE WOULD BE MORE THAN TWO STAFF MEMBERS THERE ON A REGULAR BASIS. SO IN THE STAFF REPORT, THE REQUIREMENT IS THAT THEY AT LEAST MARK OFF TWO PARKING SPACES. BUT OF COURSE, THE APPLICANT CAN PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PARKING IN ADDITION TO THE REQUIRED TWO MARKED OFF. THE APPLICANT IS ALSO HERE, THOUGH IF WE WANTED TO CLARIFY THE AMOUNT OF STAFF THAT WOULD BE ON SITE AND THEREFORE THE AMOUNT OF PARKING THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED ON SITE, I'D LIKE TO HEAR WHAT THE. YEAH, SURE. CAN WE GET THE APPLICANT TO COME UP AND DISCUSS THESE THINGS? AND AS THEY'RE COMING UP, THE CLARIFICATION ON THE TWO IS IS GENERIC TO MINIMUM SEVEN. OKAY. SO THE TWO WOULD INCREASE IF THE NUMBER OF ACTUAL BEDS THAT THEY PROVIDE INCREASES. I THINK I MADE A COMMENT. IT WAS .25 PER BED. SO UNLESS THEY GET TO WHAT'S MY MATH, IF THEY GET UP TO TEN THEY DON'T HAVE TO. SO YEAH OKAY. CAN YOU GIVE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS? EMMANUEL. MY DESIRE. AND WHAT'S YOUR ADDRESS? 6646 VILLARREAL. THANK YOU, MISSOURI CITY. COMMISSIONERS. WELL, WE WERE JUST JUST HAVING A QUESTION IN REFERENCE TO THE PARKING, YOU KNOW, MOVING FORWARD. WE JUST DON'T WANT THERE TO BE ANY ISSUES WITH HAVING ENOUGH PARKING. ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE MORE THAN TWO STAFF MEMBERS THERE AT ONE TIME? IF WE HAVE MORE THAN TWO, THAT'S ENOUGH SPACE ON THE PROPERTY TO ADD ADDITIONAL PARKING. OKAY. YEAH, THERE WON'T BE ANY STREET PARKING. OKAY. YEAH. RIGHT NOW YOU CAN PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WE HAVE ROOM ON THE ON THE

[00:20:07]

APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. THANKS. THANK YOU. CAN I ENTERTAIN A MOTION? SECOND.

SORRY. WHAT WAS YOUR MOTION? THE FIRST TO CLOSE AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. WHERE DO YOU CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? YEAH, WE ALREADY DID THAT. WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION ON THE ITEM? I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE. THAT WORKED OUT GREAT. NEED TO WAKE UP. THANK YOU. ITEM B HOUSTON, CAN YOU PRONOUNCE THAT FOR ME? ANAYA.

[b. Houston Knanaya Catholic Church Society - Specific Use Permit]

THANK YOU. OKAY. ITEM C, PD 81 AMENDMENT LAND DEVELOPMENT PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE

[c. PD 81 Amendment - Planned Development]

[00:25:08]

USE. WHAT THE APPLICATION IS IS TO AMEND SOME OF THE MULTIFAMILY DESIGN STANDARDS TO ALLOW FOR THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT THAT THE APPLICANT WISHES TO BUILD. THE MULTIFAMILY AREA THAT THE APPLICANT IS LOOKING TO CONSTRUCT IS THE PURPLE KIND OF OUTLINE. SO IT'S THE SOUTHERNMOST PORTION OF THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT. IT DOES HAVE FRONTAGE ON TO 92 AS WELL AS FRONTAGE ON INDEPENDENCE. IT'S ABOUT A 13 ACRE PIECE OF PROPERTY. THEY'RE LOOKING AT BUILDING A GARDEN STYLE MULTI STOREY APARTMENT COMPLEX CONTAINING 12 BUILDINGS AND UP TO 262 UNITS. THEY HAVE PROPOSED ON SITE AMENITIES THAT ARE STANDARD FOR APARTMENT COMPLEXES, INCLUDING A CLUBHOUSE, RECREATIONAL AREAS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THE REQUESTED DEVIATIONS INCLUDE DENSITY. THEY ARE REQUESTING TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF UNITS IN TWO OF THE 12 BUILDINGS. SO THE ZONING ORDINANCE APPLIED TO THIS CAPS A NUMBER OF UNITS WITHIN A SINGLE BUILDING AT NO MORE THAN 24 FOR TWO OF THEIR BUILDINGS. THEY'RE LOOKING TO INCREASE IT TO TO 33 UNITS BASED ON THE BUILDING DESIGNS. ADDITIONALLY. ADDITIONALLY, THEY'RE LOOKING FOR DEVIATION FROM SCREENING REQUIREMENTS ON GROUND MOUNTED EQUIPMENT.

TYPICALLY, IF AC UNITS, ANY KIND OF GROUND MOUNTED EQUIPMENT IF IT'S VISIBLE FROM THE PUBLIC ROADWAY, IN THIS CASE FM 1092 DRIVING UP AND DOWN THAT CORRIDOR, WALKING UP AND DOWN THAT CORRIDOR OR INDEPENDENCE. TYPICALLY IT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO BE SCREENED BEHIND A MASONRY WALL. IN THIS CASE, THE APPLICANT IS LOOKING TO DEVIATE FROM THAT AND SCREEN USING LANDSCAPING. IN ADDITION, THE APPLICANT IS LOOKING TO RELAX THE AMOUNT OF GARAGES THAT ARE WOULD BE CONSTRUCTED AS PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT. SO TYPICALLY, 25% OF THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF GARAGES REQUIRED OR MINIMUM NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES REQUIRED WOULD BE HOUSED IN GARAGES. THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING A REDUCTION FROM THAT 25% TO 10%, AGAIN BASED ON THE PRODUCT TYPE THAT THEY'RE SEEKING TO LOCATE HERE. AND BASED ON THE LAND CONFIGURATION, SOME KEY ITEMS TO NOTE FOR THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT IS, AS ENGINEERING HAS BROUGHT BEFORE THE COMMISSION, DRAINAGE IS A BIG ISSUE IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA, AND THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM WITHIN THIS AREA HAS REACHED ITS CAPACITY. SO THE CITY CONTINUES TO WORK WITH BOTH, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC ENTITIES AS WELL AS PRIVATE ENTITIES ON THE EXPANSION AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR THAT AREA. THE PLAN THAT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED FOR THIS PARTICULAR MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT HAS NOT ADEQUATELY SHOWN KIND OF WHERE THAT DRAINAGE COULD BE COLLECTED, RETAINED AND MODIFIED INTO THE REGIONAL SYSTEM TO EXTEND THAT CAPACITY OR EVEN ON SITE. SO THAT DRAINAGE IS STILL A MAJOR ISSUE. MAJOR CONCERN FOR THIS PARTICULAR AREA. ADDITIONALLY, UTILITIES HAVE NOT YET BEEN CONFIRMED TO SERVICE THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT. EITHER TRAFFIC HAS BEEN CONSIDERED, AND AT THIS TIME THERE'S NO MAJOR CONCERNS ON THE TRAFFIC SIDE, BUT DRAINAGE AND UTILITIES REMAIN LARGE CONCERNS.

[00:30:01]

OKAY. WITH THAT? THAT CONCLUDES THE REPORT. SO THE JUST TO SUMMARIZE, THEY WANT TO INCREASE CARS ON THE STREET. THEY DON'T WANT TO COVER THE AIR CONDITIONERS THAT ARE ON THE GROUND WITH ANY TYPE OF REGULAR FENCING OR MASONRY. OF COURSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DO MASONRY. THEY WANTED TO DO LANDSCAPING. CORRECT. THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE A 15% LESS GARAGES. CORRECT. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO SEE ANY AMENITIES IF EVERYBODY'S GOING TO BE PARKING ON THE STREET? AND THAT'S THAT'S A CONCERN IS IT WOULD BE MORE SURFACE PARKING AND THEY HAVE THE APPLICANT, IF THE COMMISSION DESIRES, DOES HAVE A PRESENTATION THAT CAN WALK THROUGH WHAT THEIR SPECIFIC PROPOSAL IS. AND SOME OF THOSE AMENITY AREAS. BUT FROM THE STAFF PERSPECTIVE, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD CREATE MORE SURFACE PARKING THAT WOULD BE VISIBLE.

SO THINKING ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE, DRIVING UP AND DOWN TO 92, WE WANT TO CHANGE THAT EXPERIENCE TO MAKE IT, YOU KNOW, MORE CONSISTENT WITH THE VISION OF MISSOURI CITY. BUT IF IT YOU TALK ABOUT SURFACE PARKING, IF IT'S NOT SURFACE PARKING, IT'S GOING TO BE A GARAGE SITTING THERE. RIGHT. SO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT WOULD THE CITY LIKE TO SEE INDIVIDUAL GARAGES, LIKE IN SOME OF THE OTHER APARTMENT COMMUNITIES, OR ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT A SMALL HIGH RISE GARAGE? NO. AND TYPICALLY FOR THIS KIND OF DEVELOPMENT, IN THIS KIND OF CONFIGURATION, IT WOULD BE INTEGRATED. SO IT COULD BE A BLOCK OF GARAGES THAT ACT AS SCREENING OR BUFFERING, YOU KNOW, FOR EQUIPMENT OR FOR PARKING, YOU KNOW, FOR THE PUBLIC VIEW. IT COULD BE GARAGES THAT ARE INTEGRATED INTO THE BUILDING WHERE YOU HAVE LIVING SPACES, YOU KNOW, ABOVE THE GARAGES. SO THERE'S THERE'S DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS THAT THEY COULD DO THAT COULD MAKE IT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF MOVE THE NEEDLE IN TERMS OF WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED.

SO IT WOULD LOOK MORE LIKE THE TOWNHOMES IN SOME CASES. DO YOU MIND GOING BACK ABOUT FOUR SLIDES TO THE ONE THAT HAS WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR IN DEVIATIONS? THANKS. THAT HELPS THE THE DWELLINGS PER UNIT OR PER BUILDING. THAT'S A FIRE CODE ISSUE IS IT NOT. IT IS. IT IS A COMBINATION OF THAT AND WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING TO GO TO 33. HAVE THEY PROVIDED ADEQUATE FIRE SEPARATION? I KNOW WE'VE HAD A SIMILAR DISCUSSION A COUPLE YEARS AGO WITH A PROJECT THAT WANTED MORE THAN 24 IN A BUILDING, AND THEY WERE GOING TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FIREWALL SEPARATION. ET-CETERA. SO THEY HAVEN'T PROVIDED THAT LEVEL OF DETAIL YET, BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO ACCOMMODATE THAT BEFORE ANY PERMITS ARE PULLED. OKAY. AND THAT WOULD BE A COST FACTOR OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT MATERIALS ARE BEING USED INSIDE OF THE BUILDING TO PROVIDE THOSE LIFE SAFETY ITEMS. OKAY. AND ON THE BACK TO THE PARKING, THERE'S A NUMBER OF MULTIFAMILY UNITS GOING UP IN THE CITY RIGHT NOW. THERE'S SOME ON HIGHWAY SIX, SOME OFF OF THE TOLLWAY. ALL OF THOSE HAVE 25% OF THE PARKING SPACES OR PARKING GARAGES. SO THERE'S A COMBINATION. THERE'S THREE DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENTS. I KNOW TWO ARE MEETING THAT REQUIREMENT. ONE, I BELIEVE,

[00:35:03]

THANKS. GOOD QUESTIONS. WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE THE PRESENTATION? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

CAN WE GET THE APPLICANT TO COME AND DO THE PRESENTATION? THANK YOU. I CAN GET YOUR NAME.

YEAH. MY NAME IS CLAYTON NUGENT. I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF HIS ADDRESS. ONE RIVERWAY DRIVE, SUITE 2550, HOUSTON, TEXAS, 77 056. THANKS FOR HAVING ME. I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF ALLIANCE.

THANK YOU FOR GIVING THE INITIAL PRESENTATION. SO START OUT, YOU KNOW, ALLIANCE IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPERS IN THE COUNTRY. THEY PERFORM ON MULTIPLE PROJECTS EVERY SINGLE YEAR IN AND AROUND THE HOUSTON MARKET. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THEIR PROJECTS. THIS IS KIND OF A PRESENTATION FOR THE PROPOSED 262 UNITS DEVELOPMENT, RIGHT OFF OF FM 1092 NEAR FIFTH STREET. IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. OH, THERE WE GO. NEXT SLIDE IS JUST AN EXAMPLE. THIS WAS UNITS FROM 2023 JUST ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. GOT A LITTLE BIOPSY HERE. ALLIANCE RESIDENTIAL COMPANY IS PRIVATELY OWNED AND CAPITALIZED AND HAS NO INSTITUTIONAL OR OUTSIDE COMPANY OWNERSHIP OR COMPANY. DEBT ALLIANCE OFFERS A VERTICALLY INTEGRATED PLATFORM WITH EXPERTISE ACROSS ACQUISITIONS, DEVELOPMENT, REDEVELOPMENT, ASSET MANAGEMENT, PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT. ALLIANCE HAS 19 REGIONAL OFFICES NATIONWIDE FOCUSED ON THE DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION AND ACQUISITION OF RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES ACROSS 16 STATES AND 39 METROPOLITAN MARKETS.

NEXT, WE HAVE A COUPLE EXAMPLES OF SOME HOUSTON AREA COMMUNITIES RECENTLY DEVELOPED BY ALLIANCE. THIS IS IN THE CROSS CREEK RANCH COMMUNITY. THIS IS IN JORDAN RANCH. WE HAVE SOME OF ALLIANCE, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THEIR COMMITMENTS TO PROVIDE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES.

YOU KNOW, I THINK THEY HIGHLIGHTED THERE THE HIGH STANDARDS OF DESIGN TO ENHANCE THE WELL-BEING OF RESIDENTS WHILE BEING ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS. AND SOME KEYS ON ENERGY, WATER AND WASTE AND HEALTH AND HOW THEY AFFECT THEIR TENANTS. WE HAVE ANOTHER EXAMPLE, STELLA AT RIVERSTONE, ONE OF THEIR COMMUNITIES. THIS IS SOME FURTHER DETAIL ABOUT SOME OF THE INTERIORS AND THE INNOVATIONS THAT THEY'VE MADE. ON SOME OF THEIR PROJECTS. MOST OF THEIR PROJECTS, INCLUDING, YOU KNOW, TEN FOOT CEILINGS, STAINLESS APPLIANCES, HARDWOOD FLOORING AND MANY OTHERS. SO NEXT WE HAVE THE SITE PLAN THAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH. THAT DARK PURPLE WOULD BE THE SITE PLAN FOR THE MULTIFAMILY. AND THEY DID POINT OUT THE THE RED SQUARE, WHICH WOULD BE THE PROPOSED LIFT STATION. THAT WOULD NEED TO BE IMPLEMENTED.

AND HERE YOU CAN SEE THE THE SITE PLAN WITH THE BUILDINGS FACING THE ROADWAYS, INCLUDING BUILDING THREE AND BUILDING 11. THAT WOULD INCLUDE THE THE REQUEST FOR THE VARIANCE FOR 33 UNITS AS OPPOSED TO 24. HERE WE HAVE OUR UNIT MIX SHOWING OUR 262 UNITS. YOU KNOW, I THINK A A POINT ONE THING WE'VE NOTICED ACROSS THE CITY IS AN INCREASE IN SUBSIDIZED APARTMENTS BEING BUILT, TAX CREDIT APARTMENTS WITH BREAKS THAT YOU CAN GET FROM THE COUNTY IN THE CITY.

THIS WOULD NOT BE A SUBSIDIZED APARTMENT. THIS WOULD BE MARKET RENT. HERE WE HAVE SOME SOME

[00:40:03]

AND WE HAVE SOME COMPARISONS ON PARKING PROVIDED FOR BROADSTONE, MISSOURI CITY.

COMPARED TO SOME OF THEIR OTHER PROJECTS THAT THEY'VE COMPLETED AROUND THE CITY AS WELL AS IN CORPUS CHRISTI. IT'S JUST A SALES TAX PROJECTION BASED ON TENANTS. AND HERE WE HAVE OUR REQUESTED DEVIATIONS FROM MF2 ZONING. YOU KNOW, AS YOU MENTIONED, MF2 IS ALLOWED WITHIN PD 81, BUT THESE ARE SOME DEVIATIONS THAT WE'VE REQUESTED JUST IN ORDER TO MAKE THE PROJECT MORE FEASIBLE FOR US, AS WELL AS JUST A BETTER EXPERIENCE FOR THE TENANTS. SO I IMAGINE THERE'S QUESTIONS ON THIS SLIDE.

CAN YOU SHOW ME THE FIRST SLIDE? THE VERY FIRST SLIDE. YEAH. LET'S GO BACK.

RIGHT THERE. ONE MORE. THERE YOU GO. THIS ONE. YOU SEE THE AIR CONDITIONERS. THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING. OKAY. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS THERE VISIBLE I MEAN MAYBE 6 OR 7 YEARS WE WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE THEM, BUT THAT'S CURB APPEAL. THAT'S WHAT OUR RESIDENTS GET TO LOOK AT.

DRIVING BY A BEAUTIFUL BUILDING. I WOULD IMAGINE YOU GUYS ARE VERY IMPRESSIVE. WHY WOULD AN IMPRESSIVE COMPANY WANT TO MAKE THEIR COMPANIES, THEIR AIR CONDITIONERS, BE THE MAIN CURB APPEAL LINE OF SIGHT? AND I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK ABOUT THE CURB APPEAL THAT OUR RESIDENTS GET TO LOOK AT. USUALLY THESE MEETINGS ARE FILLED WITH PEOPLE WHO DO NOT WANT APARTMENT COMPLEXES. SO WE HEAR IT. THEY'RE NOT HERE TONIGHT, BUT THEIR VOICES ARE IN US. THEY DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT AIR CONDITIONERS. YEAH. UNDERSTOOD. YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN INSTRUCTED MASONRY WISE. YOU KNOW, THE PROPOSED MASONRY PERCENTAGE THAT WE HAVE ON THE BUILDING PLANS IS WHAT FINANCIALLY CAN BE SUPPORTED ON THE PROJECT. RIGHT. WHICH IS WHY WE HAVE ASKED FOR THE VARIANCE FOR SHRUB COVERAGE OF GROUND MOUNTED MACHINERY. MAKES SENSE.

[00:45:09]

IMAGINE. YES. OR THE SIDES? YES. OKAY. THANKS. SO THIS IS KIND OF AN OVERVIEW OF THE AMENITY CORE THERE, WITH A JUST OVER 7000 SQUARE FOOT CLUB SPACE, THE RESORT STYLE POOL. AND THEN

[00:50:08]

KEEP GOING BACK. IT WAS THE GOOGLE AERIAL. MIGHT HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE FIRST. MAYBE NOT.

OKAY. I'M SORRY. GO FORWARD. WAS THAT THE FIRST? OKAY. GO FORWARD. OKAY. GO RIGHT THERE.

THAT'LL WORK. THIS IS TO YOUR COMMENT ABOUT. DISAPPROVING IN PART BECAUSE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. RIGHT. AND LET'S SAY JUST FOR GRINS, THAT WE EVEN AGREED WITH WHAT THEY'RE ASKING, OR THERE WAS SOME VARIATION OF IT, MAYBE THEY COME BACK AND MODIFY AND WHAT HAVE YOU THAT STILL DOESN'T ADDRESS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, RIGHT? THAT ASPECT OF IT. OKAY. AND I GUESS MY QUESTION MAYBE MORE AS A THOUGHT THAT MURPHY ROAD 1092, OTHER THAN HIGHWAY SIX, IS ARGUABLY THE MOST HEAVILY TRAVELED ROADWAY THROUGH MISSOURI CITY. I MEAN, IT'S A TON OF TRAFFIC. WE'VE ALL BEEN DOWN THIS SECTION OF IT. WE KNOW WHERE THIS IS AT. YOU KNOW, IT'S ON THE WEST SIDE. IT'S AN OLD APARTMENT COMPLEX, SOME BOAT STORAGE. A CHURCH THAT'S BEEN THERE A YEARS. YOU GET THE PICTURE. AND YOU DO WONDER IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS, THOUGH, I THINK WHAT THEY'RE PRESENTING IS, BY AND LARGE, EVERY INDICATION OF QUALITY, PRODUCT, ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. TO YOUR POINT ABOUT MULTI-USE, GOSH, YOU WOULD ONLY HOPE IF SOMETHING ALONG THAT LINE WAS BUILT THAT SUDDENLY THE THE PROPERTIES ON THE OTHER SIDE MIGHT BECOME MORE VALUABLE AND FOLLOW A SIMILAR PATH, BECAUSE THAT IS CLEARLY A GATEWAY INTO THE CITY. I MEAN, IT'S JUST WHAT IT IS, AND WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF LAND ON GATEWAYS. THAT SAID, ADMITTEDLY, I WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT HOUSING AND MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. SO THAT COMES INTO PLAY TOO. BUT A MULTI-USE COMPLEX WOULD DOESN'T IGNORE THAT YOU STILL HAVE THAT HOUSING. IT'S JUST SOMETHING MAYBE MORE IN LINE WITH PERHAPS WHAT I'D LIKE TO THINK, THOUGH. WE'RE ALL DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE OF YOUNG PROFESSIONALS, YOU KNOW, THEY LIKE THAT KIND OF MULTI-USE, YOU KNOW, MULTI-PURPOSE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT. SO I THINK IN SOME RESPECTS IT SEEMS LIKE THAT WAS THE MORE, IF YOU WILL, THE DRIVER HERE, IF IT WASN'T SO MUCH THAT BEING AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, I THINK SOMETHING PROBABLY COULD GET WORKED OUT WITH THE DEVELOPER HERE ON THE PARKING. AND, YOU KNOW, THEY WANT 33 UNITS INSTEAD OF WHATEVER. I DON'T THINK THAT'S I THINK THE BIGGER QUESTION HERE IS THE USE, YOU KNOW, THE OVERALL THE PLAN. BUT THEN I KNOW OTHERS HAVE RAISED THE QUESTION WOULD IT EVER HAPPEN. REMEMBER WE HAD THAT CONVERSATION A COUPLE OF MEETINGS AGO OFF HIGHWAY 90, THAT VERY QUESTION. YOU KNOW,

[00:55:04]

YEAH. THAT'S CORRECT. SO I THINK THE YOU KNOW, MY THOUGHT IS THE CITY PUT THOUGHT INTO WHAT THEY WANTED IN THE APARTMENTS THAT WERE BEING BUILT HERE, AND THE OWNER AGREED TO THAT FIVE YEARS AGO. IT'S KIND OF LIKE I HAD THE SAME POSITION THAT WE WE TALKED ABOUT CHANGES TO ANOTHER PD A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. I DON'T SOMEBODY ALREADY AGREED TO THAT, PUT IT IN PLACE. EVERYBODY AROUND IT KNEW WHAT WAS COMING. AND NOW YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE RULES PARTWAY THROUGH I JUST MY $0.02. AND I THINK BY HIS OWN ADMISSION, WITHOUT HIM SEEING IT. IT BEING DISAPPROVED, THEY'LL COME BACK MORE WILLING TO ASK FOR LESS IF THEY WANT THE PROJECT TO MOVE FORWARD. SO THE APARTMENTS THAT WENT UP. WE'VE BEEN BLESSED AS A CITY TO WORK WITH JOHNSON DEVELOPMENT AND THE APARTMENTS THAT WERE PLACED IN AND AROUND SIENA.

THEY'RE NOT CALLING JOHNSON, SAYING, WE'RE GOING TO PUT SHRUBS INSTEAD OF MASONRY.

JOHNSON DOESN'T ANSWER THE PHONE. HE THEY TAUGHT US THAT. I MEAN, THE 20 YEARS I'VE BEEN HERE, THERE'S A REASON WHY THEY'RE ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, BECAUSE THEIR STANDARDS ARE SO HIGH. THIS PLAN THAT YOU ALL HAVE WORKED ON FOR SO LONG, YOU'RE JUST TELLING US WE'RE RAISING THE STANDARDS. WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE HAVE LEFT IS BUILT RIGHT, JUST LIKE THE GREAT DEVELOPERS THAT WE'VE HAD IN THIS COMMUNITY. THAT'S MY TAKE. CAN I GET A MOTION? OH, DO WE NEED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? WE HAVE NOT SIGNED UP. STEVE, YOU'RE OVER THERE. JUST WAIT. WE WANT TO FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES. WE GOT TWO CITY ATTORNEYS THAT WILL GET MAD AT US. ABSOLUTELY. SO WE'LL MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. ALL RIGHT. SECOND. THANK YOU. SO THE RECOMMENDATION FROM STAFF IS.

NEGATIVE. YES. TO DISAPPROVE. CAN I GET A MOTION? GET IT ON. THE STAFF'S PRESENTATION. I MAKE A MOTION TO DISAPPROVE IN AGREEMENT WITH STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION. OKAY. MAKE THAT MOTION SECOND. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? READY TO VOTE? OKAY. THANK YOU. JENNIFER, IT'S BEEN

[a. Comprehensive Plan Update]

AND COMMISSIONERS HAVE GIVEN US SOME GREAT IDEAS AS TO HOW TO GET THAT OUT INTO OUR COMMUNITY, ENGAGING OUR HOA AND OTHERWISE. JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO DO THAT. AS WE HAVE THIS

[01:00:02]

OKAY. YEAH. CAN I GET ONE FINAL MOTION, PLEASE? TO ADJOURN. MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN.

SECOND, THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. STAFF. GREAT JOB. WE HAVE TO FINISH VOTING. ON A SECOND.

OKAY. THANK YOU. NOW GREAT JOB.
