[6. PUBLIC COMMENT]

DO WE HAVE ANYBODY SIGNED UP? YES, WE DO.

WHEN I CALL YOUR NAME, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.

SHARON.

HELLO JOHN.

MY NAME IS SHARON .

I RESIDE AT 8 2 0 2 OYSTER CREEK DRIVE IN THE OYSTER CREEK FARM STUFF CONDITION IN KANSAS CITY AND HAVE DONE SO FOR 47 YEARS.

HOPEFULLY YOU REMEMBER TWO MONTHS AGO WHEN I WAS HERE AND EVERYTHING THAT I SAID BECAUSE I HAVE TO KEEP WITHIN THIS THREE MINUTE LIMIT.

AND SO, UM, WE'RE COMING TO SPEAK TO YOU HERE ABOUT NUMBER SEVEN PLATS ITEM C, BOTH ITEMS ONE AND TWO.

THIS WAS DENIED BY YOU JUST SEVERAL MONTHS AGO TO ALLOW A REPL OF DIVIDING A LARGE LOT INTO TWO LOTS AND PUTTING TWO WATER WELLS ON IT.

THE ISSUE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS THAT WE ARE DE SOLELY DEPENDENT ON WATER WELLS FOR OUR SUPPLIES OF WATER AND FOR LIVING THERE, WE WERE ORIGINALLY ENGINEERED FOR 34 LOTS, 34 WELLS.

WE PRESENTLY HAVE 37 WELLS THAT GIVE WATER TO FULL HOUSEHOLDS.

PLUS WE HAVE AN ADDITIONAL WELL THAT IS NOW SERVICING LIVESTOCK.

THAT'S NOT TO MENTION WHAT HAS HAPPENED AFTER THAT.

WE HAVE MORE AND MORE WELLS OUTSIDE OF OUR SUBDIVISION ALONG HIGHWAY SIX BEHIND US ON SIENA SPRINGS.

ALSO UP ALONG, UM, TRAMBLE FRESNO ROAD.

AND NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT THERE ARE NOW 10 MUD DISTRICTS SURROUNDING US ALL DRAWING WATER, ONE OF WHICH IS RIGHT ON OUR BORDERLINE.

THE WELL IS RIGHT ACROSS THE FENCE LINE.

UM, THEY ARE ASKING THE PARTY THIS TIME FOR A SECOND ITEM THAT THEY DO NOT WANT TO HAVE A ENGINEERING OR GEOSCIENTIST REPORT BECAUSE IT'S COST PROHIBITIVE.

WHAT WOULD BE COST PROHIBITIVE IS IF MY NEIGHBORS AND MYSELF HAD TO REDO ALL OUR WELLS.

WE'VE ALL LIVED OUT THERE FOR, UH, I'M THE SECOND OLDEST IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, 47 YEARS, OTHERS 30 YEARS, 25 YEARS SO FAR WE'VE HAD TO HAVE FOUR WELLS DUG DEEPER.

SO WE DO HAVE LOSS OF WATER, WE ADD MORE WELLS, MORE WATERS GOING AWAY.

SO THIS IS AN ISSUE.

THE EXISTING LOT IS ALREADY GRANDFATHERED TO HAVE A WELL, BUT IF YOU DIVIDE THAT LOT, IT NOW BECOMES TWO WELLS.

YOU ARE ALSO SETTING A PRECEDENT.

WE HAVE SEVEN VACANT LOTS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT ARE ALL GRANDFATHERED AND WILL BE ALLOWED TO HAVE WELLS.

[00:10:02]

THEY CAN GO IN.

THIS CAN'T CONTINUE.

THE LAST REPORT DONE ON THE GALVESTON AQUIFER, WHICH WAS ON TEN FOUR OF 23.

SORRY, MR. ITA, YOUR TIME IS UP.

THANK YOU.

CAN I GIVE MY, MY NAME IS WILL HANK CLUB.

PLEASE GO AHEAD.

FINISH.

YES.

THANK YOU SIR.

MM-HMM .

I LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT.

I APOLOGIZE.

YOU WERE ON THE, THE LAST.

OKAY, WELL THE, THE WELLS FOR POTABLE WATER, WHAT REALLY WOULD BE COST INEFFECTIVE IS, OR FOR US TO HAVE TO ALL PUT IN NEW WELLS OR LOSE OUR HOMES.

THE SECOND ITEM THEY'RE REQUESTING IS THE DIVISION OF THE LOT INTO TWO LOTS.

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN THERE IS IF YOU ALLOW THAT DIVISION TO TAKE PLACE, YOU'RE GOING TO SET A PRECEDENT TO ALLOW THE OTHER LOTS THAT ARE IN OUR SUBDIVISION TO BE SUBDIVIDED.

AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT JUST THE SEVEN LOTS THAT ARE EMPTY, THAT COULD BE SUBDIVIDED.

I'M TALKING ABOUT EVEN MY LOT.

I HAVE THREE ACRES OF LAND AND 600 FEET OF ROAD FRONTAGE.

BASICALLY I CAN DIVIDE MY LOT INTO THREE LOTS AND ADD MORE WELLS.

AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING YOU TO VOTE NO ON BOTH OF THESE.

YOU WILL ALSO NOTE THAT YOUR CITY ENGINEER HAS SAID SO YOUR CITY PLANNING HAS RECOMMENDED.

SO, AND WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL FOLLOW THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS AND UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES THAT WE DO HAVE.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

YOU THANK YOU.

NEXT WE HAVE BUFORD JUZA.

PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.

DID WE HAVE ANYBODY ELSE BEAUFORD SIGNED UP TO SPEAK? I HAVEN'T PREPARED NOTES, BUT, UH, I'M ONE OF THE ADJOINING I, I LIVE, UH, UH, UH, ONE OF THE ADJOINING LOTS THAT'S WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NEXT, UH, MR. ADJACENT TO MR. DIKA.

STATE YOUR NAME, FIRST STATE, YOUR NAME.

HUBERT ISSA.

OKAY.

ANYWAY, AND WE HAVE ABOUT FIVE OR SIX RESIDENTS HERE THAT HAVE ADJACENT LOTS THAT LIVE THERE.

THAT'S AROUND THIS, THESE, UH, LOTS THAT'S IN QUESTION.

SO YOU KNOW YOURSELF THAT, UH, WE'RE VERY LOYAL TO OUR SUBDIVISION AND THESE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE, THAT'S AN ADJACENT LOTS WOULD LIKE FOR Y'ALL TO DENY THIS REQUEST ALSO.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

NEXT WE HAVE ALVARO MARTINEZ.

PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES.

EVENING EVERYBODY.

UM, MY NAME IS ALVARO MARTINEZ.

I'M WORKING WITH MY CLIENT, UH, REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

UM, I'M TRYING TO GET FAMILIARIZED WITH THIS SITUATION.

UH, IT HEARS THAT, IT SEEMS TO BE THAT THEY HAVE AN ISSUE OF BUILDING TWO HOMES ON THAT LOT AND THE DEVELOPMENT HAS GROWN OVER THE YEARS.

YOU KNOW, THEY'RE SAYING THAT IT WAS AT FIRST A CERTAIN AMOUNT, THEN IT WENT UP TO 40 INFRACTION.

AND IF THAT PROPERTY RIGHT NOW IS 2.5 ACRES AND MY CLIENT WERE TO BUY, BUILD A 7,500 SQUARE FOOT HOME, THAT WOULD BE FINE, I'M ASSUMING.

UM, BUT JUST, JUST THE CASE IS THIS ONE FAMILY THAT WANTS TO DIVIDE IT WHERE THEY WANNA LIVE, MOTHER AND DAUGHTER AND NEXT TO EACH OTHER.

UM, UM, THAT'S WHY WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF THAT IS THE ISSUE BECAUSE IT'S STILL GONNA BE THE SAME WATER CONSUMPTION 'CAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE HOU THE SIZE OF THE HOUSES IN TOTAL.

SO, UM, AND THIS CASE FOR THEM TO PROCEED, DO THEY HAVE TO GET THAT? SO THE, THE WATER TEST SO THEY CAN GET DRILLED, THEY CAN DRILL AND GET A TEST AND GET THE GOOD NUMBERS OF THE GALLONS PER MINUTE ON THAT PROPERTY, WHAT Y'ALL REQUIRE, ONE OR TWO IN THIS CASE OR JUST ONE FOR ONE OF THE PROPERTIES? OR WHAT IS THE SITUATION THEY'RE REQUIRING AND HOW SOON CAN WE FIND OUT SO WE CAN PROCEED WITH THE SITUATION? UM, 'CAUSE THEY'RE MORE THAN WILLING TO DRILL THE HOLES, UM, SO THEY CAN GET THAT NUMBER FOR YOU GUYS SO YOU CAN GET APPROVED.

UM, THEY'RE MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THAT'S

[00:15:01]

SO IF THEY WERE TO GET THE, THE WATER TEST, YOU KNOW, FOR THE WELLS, WOULD THAT POSSIBLY GET THEM AN APPROVAL FOR THIS PROJECT? THAT'S MY MAIN QUESTION IN THIS SITUATION.

AND HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET AN ANSWER ABOUT THIS? AFTER THE, THE WHOLE HEARING? UM, SO AS PART OF THE PUBLIC COMMENT, WE CAN'T REALLY RESPOND TO YOUR COMMENTS.

OKAY.

THIS IS JUST A, A JUST HEARING OUT A ONE, A ONE WAY KIND OF THING, AND IT GOES INTO THE RECORD.

OKAY? OKAY.

UM, YOU WOULD HAVE TO TALK TO STAFF AND THEY COULD PROBABLY ANSWER YOUR QUE YOUR QUESTIONS.

OKAY.

ALRIGHT.

THAT'S IT.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

NEXT WE HAVE ALEJANDRA BERMAN.

PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.

YES.

HI, I'M ALEJANDRA BERMAN AND I'M ONE OF, IT'S ME AND MY MOM THAT WANT TO BUILD, UH, THE TWO HOUSES IN THAT, IN THAT LOT.

AND, UM, I, I'M GONNA LIVE, I HAVE TWO KIDS.

IT'S ME AND MY TWO KIDS AND MY MOM, UM, NEXT DOOR.

SO THE WATER CONSUMPTION, I DON'T KNOW WHY IS THAT, UM, GONNA BE MAYBE A PROBLEM OF LIKE, WE WILL BE CONSUMING MORE THAN, UM, LIKE THE, THE, THE, LIKE IT'S GONNA BE JUST ME AND MY KIDS AND MY MOM.

UM, THE SITUATION IS WE WANNA JUST BE CLOSE BECAUSE MY MOM IS ALONE AND SHE HAS SOME MEDICAL PROBLEMS, SO I WANNA BE CLOSE TO HER.

AND I HAVE MY SON THAT HAS A DISABILITY, SO THAT'S WHY WE DECIDED, UM, TO, TO BUY THAT LAND.

AND WE HAD THAT IDEA, YOU KNOW, OF BEING, UH, IN OUR OWN SPACE, BUT TOGETHER.

SO WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR, UM, AND YOU KNOW, I'M, I'M JUST TELLING YOU OUR SITUATION, THAT IT'S NOT LIKE THERE'S GONNA BE 10 PEOPLE AND EIGHT PEOPLE IN THE OTHER HOUSE AND THERE'S GONNA BE A HUGE AMOUNT OF WATER CONSUMPTION.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO SAY.

THANK YOU.

ALRIGHT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

NEXT WE HAVE BRENDA WITH PRAZA SURVEY.

PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.

GOOD EVENING CHAIR COMMISSIONERS.

MY NAME IS BRENDA TREJO AND I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT FOR THE UNDERWATER REPLANT.

NUMBER ONE VARIANCE REQUEST.

I WANT TO BEGIN BY CLEARLY STATING THAT THE UNDERGROUND WATER SUBMITTAL WITH THE APPLICATION, INCLUDING THE TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD, WALL LOCKS FROM THE IMMEDIATE AREA WAS REVIEWED BY A TEXAS LICENSE ENGINEER WHO ALSO SIGNED THE VARIANCE REQUEST.

AFTER REVIEWING THE DOCUMENTATION, STAFF RECOMMENDED DENIAL BECAUSE THEY DID NOT CONSIDER THE SUBMITTED DOCUMENTATION TO BE CREDIBLE EVIDENCE.

HOWEVER, UNDER THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE TWO 12.0101 A1, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION IS THE BODY THAT HAD THE AUTHORITY TO GRANT OR DENY THIS WAIVER.

AND THEREFORE IT IS A COMMISSION THAT DETERMINES WHETHER CREDIBLE EVIDENCE EXISTS.

THE INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED COMES DIRECTLY FROM THE STATE OF TEXAS OFFICIAL GROUNDWATER DATABASE.

THE TWDB WELL LOG SHOWED NEARLY DOMESTIC WELLS PRODUCING BETWEEN 50 TO A HUNDRED GALLONS PER MINUTE.

AND THESE REPORTS SPAN MULTIPLE YEARS WITH NO INDICATION RECORDS OF DECLINING GROUNDWATER AVAILABILITY.

BY COMPARISON, INCREASING THE TRACK FROM ONE LOT TO TWO ADDS ONLY 0.3 GALLONS PER MINUTE OF ADDITIONAL GROUNDWATER DEMAND.

THE DEMAND IS EXTREMELY SMALL RELATIVE TO THE PRODUCTION DOCUMENTED IN THE AREA AND REPRESENTS THE NEG NABLE IMPACT ON THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.

THE PROPERTY OWNER IS NOT PREPARED TO DRILL A NEW WELL SOLY FOR THE PUMP TEST AND THE QUOTED COST FOR THE REQUIREMENT TESTING IS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.

UM, CONCERNS RAISED AT PRIOR MEETINGS ABOUT DECLINING GROUNDWATER ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY THE TWDB DATA OR GROUNDWATER DISTRICT STUDIES.

THE ONLY OFFICIAL EVIDENCE IN THE RECORD SHOW STABLE AND CONSISTENT WELL PERFORMANCE OVER TIME.

AND WHILE QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN RAISED ABOUT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF OTHERS LOTS PLT IN THE FUTURE, IT REQUIRES THAT TONIGHT'S DECISION BE BASED ONLY ON THE EVIDENCE FOR THE SPECIFIC APPLICATION, NOT ON SPECULATION ABOUT HYPOTHETICAL FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS.

FOR ALL THESE REASONS AND BECAUSE THE STATUTORY CRITERIA ARE MET, WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST APPROVAL OF THE VARIANCE SO THAT THE PLAT MAY PROCEED.

THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERATION.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

WE DO NOT HAVE ANYONE ELSE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.

OKAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

UM,

CINDY LOU L ONE HOLDINGS LLC TO ZONE APPROXIMATE THREE ACRE TRACT OF LAND FROM R FOUR PATIO CLUSTER RESIDENTIAL AND L THREE LC THREE RETAIL TO PD, PLANNED ELEMENT DISTRICT TO ALLOW FOR A RECREATION FACILITY TO INCLUDE A LOUNGE.

UH, ENOUGH SAID.

ALRIGHT.

GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS TO TONIGHT Y'ALL HAVE BEFORE Y'ALL A, AN APPLICATION TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY THREE ACRES ALONG TEXAS PARKWAY NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF TEXAS PARKWAY AND FIFTH STREET FROM LC.

THREE RETAIL DISTRICT USES AND R FOUR PATIO DISTRICT RESIDENTIAL PATIO DISTRICT USES TO, UM, PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

I DO WANNA MAKE A QUICK NOTE BEFORE WE GET INTO THE FULL PRESENTATION FROM STAFF THAT THIS SITE IS ACTUALLY DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO, UH, CITY OWNED RIGHT OF WAY TEXAS AVENUE.

I DUNNO IF YOU CAN SEE IT ON THE PRESENTATION THERE.

IT'S CURRENTLY NOT DEVELOPED.

BUT AFTER GOING THROUGH THIS PRESENT, UH, THIS APPLICATION AS WELL AS OTHER DEVELOPMENT THAT MIGHT BE COMING HERE, I DO WANNA PUT FORTH THAT I, AS A STAFF MEMBER, WOULD LOVE TO SEE TEXAS AVENUE DEVELOPED.

SO IF THAT COMES UP IN THE FUTURE, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

THAT'S MY LITTLE TIDBIT.

BUT, UH, GOING BACK TO THE APPLICATION FOR THE PICKLEBALL COURT, UM, LIKE I SAID, CURRENTLY ZONED LC THREE AND R FOUR, UH, RESIDENTIAL PATIO DISTRICT.

WHEN COMPARING THIS APPLICATION TO THE 2017 CURRENTLY DOCKED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, UH, THE CURRENT COMP PLAN CALLED FOR COMMERCIAL CHARACTER ALONG, UH, TEXAS PARKWAY WITH HORIZONTAL MIXED USE, LARGER SETBACKS, SURFACE PARKING.

UM, AND UH, THIS APPLICATION IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH 2017 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

WE ALSO IDENTIFIED TWO GOALS WITHIN THE 2017 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

1.1 ESTABLISHED CENTERS AND FOCAL POINTS AS WELL AS 2.1, UM, WITH FOCUS ON RECRUITMENT OF LIFESTYLE AMENITIES DESIRED BY RESIDENTS SO THEY CAN BE PATRONIZED ENJOYED LOCALLY.

WE FOUND THIS APPLICATION ALSO IN CONFORMANCE WITH THOSE GOALS IN THE CURRENT 2017 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

WHEN COMPARING THIS APPLICATION TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE THAT'S CURRENTLY GOING ON WITH THE CITY, UM, THIS, UH, SITE IS IN FOCUS AREA THREE, TEXAS PARKWAY GATEWAY MIXED USE DISTRICT.

WE ARE PROPOSING IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE THAT THIS AREA CALLS FOR URBAN CHARACTER, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE COMPACT, WALKABLE, MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS WITH RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, UM, OFFICE, HOSPITALITY, AND CIVIC USES.

WE FOUND THIS APPLICATION MOSTLY ALIGNS WITH THE, UH, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH.

ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT A TRUE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, UM, WE DO BELIEVE THIS DEVELOPMENT DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CATALYZE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT AROUND IT AND ATTRACT BUSINESSES THAT ENHANCE THE ECONOMIC VITALITY OF TEXAS PARKWAY.

SO HERE BEFORE YOU, WE HAVE A PROPOSED CONCEPTUAL FLOOR PLAN OF THE PICKLEBALL COURT RECREATIONAL FACILITY.

CURRENTLY A VACANT SITE AND WITHIN THE PROPOSED SITE, AND I'VE, UH, COLOR CUTTED IT HERE WE HAVE 12 INDOOR PICKLEBALL COURTS, WHICH YOU SEE IN THE PURPLE ON THE TOP OF THE PICTURE ON THE SCREEN.

WE HAVE ONE OUTDOOR PICKLEBALL COURT ROOFED, UH, WHICH IS IN THE LOWER, UH, MIDDLE PORTION THAT'S OUTLINED IN PINK NEXT TO THE OUTDOOR ROOF COURT WITH THE OTHER COURTS BEING INDOOR.

WE HAVE AN OUTDOOR LAWN AND SEATING AREA WITH GREEN SPACE AND A PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO SIT UNDER, UM, UMBRELLAS ON THE PLANS.

IT'S NOTED THAT THE OUTDOOR ROOF COURT WOULD BE THE CHAMPIONSHIP COURT, SO PEOPLE GET TO ENJOY THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

UM, GAMES HERE ON THE LAWN AS PROPOSED.

AND THEN IN THE BLUE SECTION WE HAVE, UH, A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT USES BEING PROPOSED ACCESSORY TO THE, UH, PICKLEBALL COURTS, INCLUDING KITCHENETTES, CAFES, LOUNGES, CONFERENCE ROOMS, AND LOCKER ROOMS. NEXT, UH, WE HAVE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION.

RECOMMENDATION IS GOING TO BE APPROVED WITH CONDITION, UH, THIS APPLICATION, UM, AS PART OF THE APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS.

FIRST WE WERE

[00:35:01]

THREE USES, UH, THAT COULD BE USED IN THIS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

WE ARE SEEKING INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SPORTS AND RECREATIONAL FACILITY USES WITH ACCESSORY FOOD, ALCOHOL SALES ACCESSORY LOUNGES TO BE EXCLUDED FROM THIS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

AS A LIST OF ALLOWABLE USES WITHIN THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, WE WOULD LIKE TO EXCLUDE GAS STATIONS, ELECTRICAL GAS APPLIANCES, SUPPLY SALES REPAIR INSTALLATION, UH, USES JOB PRINTING, USES TIRE BATTERY, AUTO ACCESSORY USES AND REPAIRS, VARIETY DEPARTMENT DISCOUNT STORES, CAR WASHES, PACKAGED LIQUOR STORES, GUN SALES AND REPAIRS.

DOG, CAT AND ANIMAL VETERINARY, UH, USES BARBER AND BEAUTY SHOP USES NON PACKAGED LIQUOR STORE USES AND SAVINGS AND LOAN INSTITUTION USES.

AND THE REASON FOR EXCLUDING THESE USES ARE NOT ARBITRARY.

THEY'RE, UH, PART OF STAFF'S EFFORT TO FURTHER PUSH THE GATEWAY MIXED USE DISTRICT WITH OUR CURRENT CONFERENCE AND PLAN UPDATE THAT WE'RE GOING FOR.

SO BY EXCLUDING THESE USES, INCLUDING THE PROPOSED USE, WE ARE HOPING TO SEE THOSE COME TO FRUITION.

MM-HMM .

NEXT, AS PART OF THE APPROVAL CONDITIONS, CONDITIONS, UM, WE HAVE THE HEIGHTENED AREA BUILDING SETBACKS.

WE STAFF IS PROPOSING THAT WE APPLY, UH, THE ALREADY, UM, LC THREE, UH, HEIGHTENED AREA STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS AND APPLY THE SETBACKS AS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLANS FOR LANDSCAPING STANDARDS.

WE WOULD APPLY THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPING PLANS AS SHOWN, WHICH IS SEEN ON THE LARGER SITE PLAN ON THE LEFT OF THE SLIDE.

UM, HOWEVER, WE WOULD STILL REQUIRE BERMS AND EVERGREEN HEDGES ALONG TEXAS PARKWAY FRONTAGE AS WELL AS WE ARE PROPOSING THAT IN THE DETENTION AREA IN THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY, IF THE APPLICANT CAN PURSUE PROVIDING A MULTIFUNCTIONAL SPACE FOR THAT DETENTION FACILITY.

NOT ONLY TO HELP WITH THE MANAGEMENT OF STORM WATER AND DRAINAGE AND DETENTION RUNOFF, BUT ALSO POTENTIALLY MAKE IT A GREEN SPACE AREA THAT IMPROVES WALKABILITY, UH, GREEN SPACES, SEATING AREAS, AND CONNECTIVITY ALONG THE CORRIDOR.

FOR PARKING STANDARDS.

ORIGINALLY THE APPLICANT WAS SEEKING A MAX OCCUPANCY OF OVER 700, UH, PERSONS WITHIN THE ENTIRE SITE.

UM, WE ARE PROPOSING THAT THE APPLICANT FOLLOWS, UM, SECTION 12 MINIMUM PARKING STANDARDS BASED ON A LOWER OCCUPANCY.

THE EXACT NUMBER WE DON'T HAVE AT THE MOMENT THAT WOULD BID IT CLOSER TO, UM, JUST OVER 400 MAX OCCUPANCY FOR THE ENTIRE SITE.

UH, DUE TO THE, UM, ONLY PROPOSED 91 PARKING SPACES THAT ARE CURRENTLY SHOWN THE PLAN.

AND THEN FOR SIGNAGE STANDARDS, UH, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT WE ADOPT THE DESIGNS THAT HAVE BEEN PROPOSED BY THE APPLICANT, BUT WE'D STILL APPLY THE SQUARE FOOTAGE HEIGHTENED AND, UM, LINKED STANDARDS AS PART OF, UH, SECTION 13 OF OUR SIGNED ORDINANCES.

PUBLIC NOTICING REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED FOR THIS APPLICATION.

THE, UH, MAIL NOTICE TO ALL PROPERTIES WITHIN 250 FEET WAS SENT NOVEMBER 7TH, 2025 NOTICE POSTED ON THE PROPERTY NOVEMBER 14TH OF THIS YEAR, 2025.

THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW HERE AT PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DECEMBER 10TH.

THE NEXT PUBLIC HEARING IS SCHEDULED TENTATIVELY FOR TUESDAY INSTEAD OF MONDAY ON JANUARY 20TH, 2026 AS DUE TO JANUARY 19TH LEADING MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR DAY HOLIDAY STAFF HOLIDAY.

AND UH, AS OF TODAY, WE HAVE RECEIVED ONE PROTEST LETTER.

GOOD JOB.

SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING IS SHE CAN HAVE ACCESSORY USES THAT SELLS ALCOHOL AT THE CAFE OR THE RESTAURANT.

BUT LET'S SAY FOR WHATEVER REASON THIS APPLICANT WENT AWAY IN A DIFFERENT, UM, UM, INDIVIDUAL CAME FORWARD WITH AN INVESTMENT INTEREST, THEY COULDN'T PUT JUST SOLELY LIKE A BEER PLACE TO SELL OR SOLELY LIKE A LIQUOR STORE PLACE TO SELL.

OKAY.

UM, IT WOULD BE ACCESSORY TO THIS RECREATIONAL FACILITY.

YES, SIR.

THREW ME FOR A TWIST.

'CAUSE I SAW A BAR.

NO, NO, I UNDERSTAND.

NOW THAT YOU'RE SAYING THAT I, WE WE'LL CLEAR, WE'LL CLEAR IT UP.

OKAY.

MAKES SENSE.

OF COURSE.

THANKS.

THAT LIST SHOULD LOOK FAMILIAR.

IT WAS LAST MONTH AND WE PRAYED IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT.

AND THAT TEXAS AVENUE, IS IT, IT'S NOT BUILT YET.

IS IT CURRENTLY NOT BUILT AT THE MOMENT? I DIDN'T THINK SO BECAUSE I COULDN'T FIND IT.

NO, YOU'D BE LOOKING FOR A WHILE.

OKAY.

UM, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF? I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION.

I'M CURIOUS.

THERE'S AN AREA ALONG TEXAS PARKWAY THAT'S RIGHT ADJACENT TO THAT PROPERTY WHERE I SAW THE CITY CUTTING SOME TREES DOWN THAT'S IN THAT SAME RIGHT OF WAY.

I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE PURPOSE OF CUTTING THOSE TREES WERE, BUT, UM, I DID TALK TO PUBLIC WORKS ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND THEY DID CONFIRM THAT WAS PART OF MAINTENANCE.

UM, BUT IF THE REST OF IT GETS CUT AWAY OR IF THAT'S GONNA BE ADDED TO THE CIP PLAN, I HAVE NO

[00:40:01]

OKAY.

I WAS JUST CURIOUS.

I, I, YEAH.

OKAY.

YES SIR.

THANK YOU.

OF COURSE.

SO DO WE WANT TO HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT? YES.

OKAY.

GOOD EVENING.

EVENING.

MY NAME IS CINDY LOU.

I AM THE PROPRIETOR FOR OUR DESTINATION PICKLEBALL.

UM, I'M HERE TO GIVE YOU MY PERSONAL OVERVIEW OF MY PROJECT, STARTING WITH OUR VALUES.

WE ARE VERY ROOTED IN COMMUNITY, PERSONAL, AND SOCIAL WELLNESS, AND THE JOY OF PLAYING PICKLEBALL FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

PICKLEBALL IS MORE THAN A GAME.

IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFESTYLE.

IF YOU ARE NOT TOO FAMILIAR WITH PICKLEBALL, IT'S A PADDLE SPORT THAT HAS COMBINED ELEMENTS OF TENNIS, BADMINTON, AND PING PONG.

IT IS EASY TO LEARN AND FUN FOR ALL AGES AND IS ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING SPORTS IN AMERICA TODAY.

THE AVERAGE AGE OF PLAYERS IS 34.8, BUT THIS NUMBER IS LOWERING WITH RAPID GROWTH IN THE YOUTH UNDER AGE 18.

THIS SUGGESTS A PROMISING FUTURE FOR THE SPORT.

AS YOUNG PLAYERS GROW AND CONTINUE TO ENGAGE IN PICKLEBALL, PICKLEBALL HAS CROSS GENERATIONAL APPEAL AND HAS THE ABILITY TO BRING DIVERSE PEOPLE TOGETHER AND IS REJECTED TO SEE CONTINUED GROWTH FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

OUR VISION FOR DESTINATION PICKLEBALL IS BEYOND JUST QUARTZ.

WE ARE CREATING OUR BRAND TO BE A VENUE THAT IS PREMIUM AND CURATED AND AT THE SAME TIME, INVITING AND FUN.

WE OFFER OUR MEMBERS THE ULTIMATE PICKLEBALL PLAYING ENVIRONMENT, COMPLETE WITH FOOD AND BEVERAGE SERVICES TO REFUEL AMENITIES, TO RECHARGE, RELAX, AND SOCIALIZE.

OUR CLUB BAR AND CAFE WILL OFFER HEALTHY AND CONVENIENT SELECTIONS.

OUR PROGRAMMING WILL ENCOURAGE MEMBERS, UH, ENGAGEMENT WITH FUN GATHERINGS AND EXCITEMENT COMPETITIONS.

WE OFFER PERSONAL COACHING GROUP TRAINING AND WORKSHOPS.

OUR GOAL IS TO FOSTER A THRIVING COMMUNITY OF PLAYERS.

OUR SERVICE OFFERINGS WILL INCLUDE TIERED LEVELS OF MEMBERSHIP, AS WELL AS OPEN PLAY SESSIONS FOR NON-MEMBER DROP-INS.

WE PLAN TO HOST LEAGUES, TOURNAMENTS AND COMPETITIONS FOR PLAYERS WHO TRACK THEIR SKILLS THROUGH THE DUPER RATING SYSTEM.

WE HAVE STRUCTURED RENTAL PACKAGES FOR EVENT-BASED CORPORATE AND PRIVATE USE OF OUR CLUBHOUSE AND COURTS.

OUR PRO SHOP AND FOOD BEVERAGE SERVICES ARE DESIGNED TO ENHANCE THE EXPERIENCE OF PLAYERS MAXIMIZING THEIR ENJOYMENT AND ENCOURAGING FUTURE VISITS.

AS OF NOW, OUR DESIGN INCLUDES, UH, THE INDOOR COURTS AND THE OUTDOOR COURT NESTLED IN A RELAXING PATIO SETTING.

WE ARE FOCUSED ON ENSURING THAT WE MEET KEY CRITERIA THAT MANY OTHER FACILITIES ARE MISSING.

THAT IS ALLOCATING LARGE COURT BUFFER ZONES FOR COMPETITIVE PLAY, HIGH CEILING, GOOD LIGHTING, SOUND, DAMPENING COURT FENCING TO MINIMIZE CROSS COURT INTERFERENCE AND SMALL, UH, AND SMART COURT LAYOUT FOR PLAYERS TO EASILY ACCESS THEIR COURT WITHOUT INTERRUPTING OTHER COURTS IN PLAY.

OUR COURTHOUSE HAS, I'M SORRY, CLUBHOUSE HAS THREE CONFERENCE ROOMS, A LARGE LOUNGE AND KITCHENETTE AND FITNESS AND LOCKER ROOMS WITH SHOWERS.

IN CONCLUSION, WITH OUR PROJECT, WE HOPE TO BUILD AN EXCEPTIONAL PICKLEBALL FACILITY THAT WILL ATTRACT A VERY DESIRABLE CONSUMER BASE THAT CONSISTS OF A DIVERSE RANGE OF DEMOGRAPHICS.

WE AIM TO CREATE A TRULY UNIQUE EXPERIENCE.

UM, WE EXPECT TO DRAW PLAYERS FROM THE GREATER HOUSTON METROPOLITAN AREA AS WELL AND HOPEFULLY MAKE MISSOURI CITY PROUD.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT MA'AM? OH, SORRY.

THIS, THIS? YES.

I HAVE ONE QUESTION.

I GUESS.

UM, HOW MANY LOCATIONS DO YOU CURRENTLY HAVE? ME? YES.

THIS WILL BE MY FIRST, THIS BE THE FIRST ONE? YES, SIR.

AND WHERE, I GUESS WHAT'S DRIVING, I GET WHAT YOU'RE DRIVING ABOUT THE POPULARITY OF PICKLEBALL, BUT I GUESS FROM THE LONG TERM VIEW AND THE BENEFITS TO THE CITY, WHAT ARE YOU REALLY BRINGING? UM, ARE YOU TALKING IN TERMS OF NUMBERS OF PEOPLE? OKAY.

WHAT WE'RE PROJECTING FOR OUR FACILITY WILL BE BETWEEN 102 HUNDRED, UM, VISITORS A DAY ON A NORMAL BASIS.

THAT'S OUTSIDE OF ANY SPECIAL EVENTS.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS, THIS IS THE ONLY FACILITY THAT YOU GUYS HAVE, SOMEONE IS, I GUESS IN THE NATION OR WHERE, I'M JUST TRYING TO GET CLARITY ON THAT ONE.

IS THIS THE VERY FIRST ONE? 'CAUSE I WAS LOOKING IT UP WHILE YOU WERE TALKING.

I DIDN'T SEE ANY OTHER LOCATIONS, SO THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING THIS QUESTION.

UM, THERE ARE, UH, A GOOD NUMBER OF FACILITIES THAT ARE POPPING UP, UM, OUTSIDE OF MISSOURI CITY.

UM, BUT AS MYSELF AS AN OWNER, THIS WILL BE MY FIRST FACILITY.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

I APPRECIATE IT.

ANY HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS? PARKING? PARKING?

[00:45:01]

SUFFICIENT PARKING FOR A HUNDRED, 120 PEOPLE SAY A TOURNAMENT WHERE YOU ATTRACT MORE THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH PARKING FOR THAT? UM, WE ARE, UH, FOLLOWING THE GUIDELINES ACCORDING TO WHAT'S BEEN PUBLISHED.

AND UH, TYPICALLY IF YOU COME TO THE FACILITY, YOU'LL BE THERE WITH A PARTNER.

UM, SO WE HAVE, I GUESS DESIGNED 91 PARKING SPACES.

THAT'S ALL WE CAN FIT, UH, WITHOUT REDUCING.

UM, BUT EACH COURT, UM, CAN HOLD FOUR PLAYERS.

OKAY.

SO IF YOU'RE TALKING 12 COURTS, THAT'S 48 PLAYERS.

UM, AND WE WOULD LIKE, DURING OPEN PLAY, ALLOW DOUBLE THAT CAPACITY, MEANING HALF OF THE PEOPLE WILL BE WAITING TO PLAY, UM, AND THE OTHER HALF ARE ACTUALLY PLAYING.

SO IF WE WERE 100% FILLED FROM A PICKLEBALL PLAY STANDPOINT, THAT'S STILL LESS THAN A HUNDRED PEOPLE.

UM, BUT WHEN I SAY 200 PEOPLE, IT'S NOT ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE PEOPLE ROTATING IN AND OUT THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

I, I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.

UH, YOUR HOURS OF OPERATION, I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR PEAK TIMES WILL BE? UM, FOR PICKLEBALL? UH, TYPICALLY THE PEAK HOURS ARE THE EVENING HOURS AFTER WORK.

UM, SAY STARTING 5:00 PM AND MOST OF THE FACILITIES REMAIN OPEN TILL ABOUT 10:00 PM AND SOME HAVE BECOME MORE AGGRESSIVE BECAUSE OF THE POPULARITY OF THE SPORT TO WHERE THEY'RE OPENING UP TO MIDNIGHT.

SOME FACILITIES ARE TRYING TO SPECIALIZE IN 24 HOUR.

UM, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW.

UM, WE'RE, WE ARE THINKING OF JUST KEEPING HOURS A SAY BETWEEN 8:00 AM AND 10:00 PM OKAY.

YEAH.

UM, MY REASONING FOR ASKING THAT IS I WAS TRYING TO GIVE A GAUGE OF WHAT YOUR DAYTIME POPULATION WOULD BE, BECAUSE ON THAT SIDE, ON ALONG TEXAS PARKWAY, ONE OF THE CHALLENGES IS, IS HAVING DAYTIME TRAFFIC, UH, TO SUPPORT SOME OF THE OTHER BUSINESSES IN THE AREA ALSO.

YES.

PARTICULAR RESTAURANTS.

YES.

SO THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING.

YES.

OKAY.

YEAH, WE, WE, WE ALL HATE TRAFFIC.

UM, BUT ABSOLUTELY I THINK ANY, UM, COMMUNITY WOULD WANT TO FURTHER DEVELOP THE BUSINESS AND HOPEFULLY AT SOME POINT WE WILL HAVE BUDGETS TO EXPAND THE FAIRWAYS.

I DIDN'T MEAN TRAFFIC IN A SENSE FROM A NEGATIVE STANDPOINT OF VIEW.

WHAT I WAS SPEAKING OF WAS DAYTIME TRAFFIC DATE PEOPLE IN THE AREA IN THE DAYTIME THAT COULD SUPPORT THIS, COULD DRAW OTHER BUSINESSES, FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS, BUT THEY HAVE TO HAVE A DAYTIME TRAFFIC, NOT TAKING ANYTHING AWAY FROM WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO OFFER AT YOUR FACILITY.

I'M JUST LOOKING BEYOND THAT.

SO THIS IS A GREAT, GREAT, GREAT THING.

THANK YOU.

DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? OKAY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD WAS, UH, STAFF HAS OUTLINED, YOU KNOW, SOME, SOME CONDITIONS AND, UM, I'M ASSUMING THEY DISCUSSED THAT WITH YOU AND THAT YOU'RE OKAY WITH THOSE CONDITIONS? YES.

OKAY.

ALRIGHT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

DO WE HAVE ANYBODY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK? WE DO NOT HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.

OKAY.

NOW YOU CAN MAKE YOUR MOTION.

MR. ROWLEY.

I MAKE IT.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND A SECOND? GO AHEAD AND VOTE PLEASE.

THAT MOTION CARRIES.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM TWO, CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON ITEM EIGHT A ONE.

UM, WE DID HAVE ONE PROTEST LETTER, BUT THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION.

NO EXPLANATION IS WHAT THE PROTEST WAS.

IT'S, IT'S ACROSS THE STREET.

UM, I THINK IT'S AN INSURANCE COMPANY.

RIGHT? OKAY.

YEAH.

SO, UM, ANY DISCUSSION QUESTIONS? WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS, UM, WITH CONDITIONS AND FORWARD IT TO SEA COUNSEL WITH A REC POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

GO AHEAD AND VOTE PLEASE.

THAT MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU.

GOOD LUCK.

YES, MS. MS. LOU, THANK YOU.

GOOD LUCK.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
