OKAY, THE CITY COUNCIL IS NOW BACK INTO CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING.[(a) Consideration and Possible Action - First of Two Readings - An ordinan...]
ITEM NUMBER FOUR OUR DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION FOR A. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY, TEXAS. ESTABLISHING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION FOR APPROXIMATELY 12.97 ACRES OF LAND AS PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NUMBER 121 DESCRIBING SAID 12.97 ACRES OF LAND. REGULATING AND RESTRICTING THE DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF PROPERTY WITHIN SUCH PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT. AMENDING THE ZONING DISTRICT MAP OF THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY. PROVIDING FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.PROVIDING FOR REPEAL, PROVIDING A PENALTY, PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND CONTAINING OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT. OKAY, WE HAVE SHASHI KUMAR, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THIS SUBJECT, ABOUT 13 ACRE TRACT AT THE CORNER OF VICKSBURG AND HIGHWAY SIX, HAS COME IN FRONT OF YOU EARLIER, INCLUDING THE PLANNING AND ZONING. I'M GOING TO PROVIDE A BRIEF OVERVIEW. JUST TO REITERATE, THE CITY COUNCIL 2040 VISION, COMMUNITY IDENTITY AND QUALITY OF PLACE, SMART GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT, ECONOMIC STRENGTH AND TAX BASE HOUSING AND LIVABILITY. THE LOCATION OF THE TRACT. IT'S ABOUT A 13 ACRE TRACT, AS I MENTIONED, AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF VICKSBURG AND STATE HIGHWAY SIX. THE CURRENT ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY IS SD SUBURBAN DISTRICT. THE PROPOSED ZONING IS PD TO INCLUDE IDENTIFIED COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL USES WITH SOME ENHANCED DESIGN STANDARDS.
THE APPLICATION DETAILS ARE HERE. AGAIN, THIS HAS COME IN FRONT OF PLANNING AND ZONING AND CITY COUNCIL. SINCE OUR NEW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR HAS BEEN HERE, HE'S WORKED TO MAKE SOME CHANGES WITH THE OWNER AND THE DEVELOPER OF THIS PROPERTY. THE. THE PROPOSED USE BETTER ALIGNS WITH THE VISION FOR THIS CORRIDOR. I'LL JUST TALK TO YOU WHAT THOSE. THE KEY POINTS ARE THE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS, THE OPEN SPACE REGULATIONS, AND A UNIFIED THEME PROVIDE FOR PROVIDING PEDESTRIAN SCALE SPACES, PRIVATE COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS. SO IF I CAN EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT ON WHAT THAT IS, THE ANCHOR CLIENT IS GOING TO BE LOCATED IN THAT RED BOX THAT YOU SEE THERE AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER. THE OUT PARCELS, WHAT YOU SEE IS IDENTIFIED IN BLUE, BUT BOTH THE OUT PARCELS AS WELL AS THE ANCHOR CLIENT, WHICH WOULD BE A HIGH END ORGANIC GROCERY STORE KIND OF BUSINESS, ARE ALL PART OF THE PD. WHAT THIS PROJECT DOES OR THE PLAN DOES IS TO INTEGRATE A WALKABILITY OR A PEDESTRIAN TYPE DEVELOPMENT IN THIS KEY CORRIDOR. NOT ONLY DOES THAT, IT DOES PROVIDE SPACE FOR COMMUNITY GATHERING, AND THE SETBACKS HAVE BEEN LOWERED SO THAT IT DOES PROVIDE
[00:05:02]
A HIGHER VISIBILITY AND A WALKABLE COMMUNITY. THE PROPOSED USES. SINCE THE LAST TIME YOU SAW THIS, THERE'S A NUMBER OF USES THAT HAS BEEN RESTRICTED. SO THIS IS THE LIST OF THE USES THAT'S ALLOWED. THE KEY THING HERE IS TO NOTE IS WE HAVE TAKEN AWAY GAS STATIONS AND REPAIR SHOPS THAT ARE VISIBLE TO THE PEOPLE OR TO THE PUBLIC, AND ONE OF THE REQUIREMENT IS AT LEAST, AND I REPEAT AT LEAST ONE TABLE SERVICE TYPE OF RESTAURANT.THERE COULD BE MORE. BUT THE PD STIPULATES AT LEAST ONE. OKAY. YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE SOME OF THE RENDERINGS. THE IDEA BEHIND THIS IS TO INTEGRATE AND PROVIDE SOME KIND OF CONNECTIVITY, A UNIFIED THEME NOT ONLY FOR THE ANCHOR CLIENT AND THE PARCEL THAT YOU LOOKED AT IN THE RED, BUT ALSO THE PARCEL THAT FACES HIGHWAY SIX IN THE SOUTH, A PEDESTRIAN PROMENADE CONNECTING ANCHOR AND OUTPARCEL TENANTS AND OUTPARCEL SIGNALING SIGNATURE OPEN SPACE THAT IS PROVIDES A KIND OF WALKABILITY AND A COHESIVE EXPERIENCE. THESE ARE SOME RENDERINGS THAT WILL BE INCORPORATED AS PART OF THE PD AS WELL. THIS DEVELOPMENT HAS COME TO US. LAST YEAR THERE WAS A PUBLIC HEARING. IT WENT THROUGH, WENT THROUGH PNC. PNC GAVE A POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION. IT DID COME TO COUNCIL, BUT COUNCIL WANTED TO REVISIT SOME OF THE PROPOSED CONCEPTS HERE, ESPECIALLY WITH. IN LIEU OF OUR ECONOMIC NEW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR COMING ON BOARD. SO AS I PRESENTED TO YOU EARLIER, WE'VE INCORPORATED THOSE CHANGES. AND THIS IS PART THIS MEETING IS PART OF THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING. AGAIN, THE REQUEST IS FOR A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO INCLUDE IDENTIFIED COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL USES THAT WAS PRESENTED TO YOU AND IS INCORPORATED IN THE PD STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE THIS. WE BELIEVE THAT IT IS INCORPORATED MOST OF THE VISION AND THE REQUIREMENTS THAT THE COUNCIL ASKED THE STAFF TO WORK WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OR THE APPLICANT TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE OUR NEW ECONOMIC ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, DAVID, WHO HAS WORKED TO INCORPORATE MOST OF THE REQUIREMENTS THAT THIS COUNCIL ASKED, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THAT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. NOT SEEING ANYONE ELSE ON THE QUEUE. SO I GUESS IS THERE A MOTION? AND WHAT WHAT IS YOUR MOTION. MOTION TO APPROVE THE PROJECT AS RECOMMENDED BY THE CITY. IS THERE A SECOND? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SEEING NO ONE ELSE ON THE QUEUE. LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE. THE MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. OKAY. THERE'S NO OTHER ITEMS FOR ON THE SPECIAL MEETINGS WITH NO BUSINESS SEEING NO OBJECTIONS. WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD. AND IT'S NOT A RECESS, RIGHT? NO, IT'S AN ADJOURNMENT ADJOURN BECAUSE. OH, THERE'S A RECESS. IT IS. OH YOU NEED TO GO BACK. YES. OKAY. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AN
