SEVEN IS A PUBLIC HEARING AND RELATED ACTION ITEMS. SEVEN A IS A ZONING, PUBLIC HEARING AND ORDINANCE. 7A17A7A1 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY, TEXAS ESTABLISHING THE ZONING, CLASSIFICATION AND REGULATIONS FOR CERTAIN ANNEXED TRACTS OF LAND. DESIGNATING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION CLASSIFICATION FOR SUCH. 57.39 ACRES OF LAND AS PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NUMBER 119. REGULATING AND RESTRICTING THE DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF PROPERTY WITHIN SUCH PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT. AMENDING THE ZONING DISTRICT 
          [00:05:01]
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. RECOGNIZING SHASHI KUMAR, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. GOOD EVENING. I HAVE A SHORT PRESENTATION. THAT MAY. 
          OKAY. YOU WANT TO TELL US WHAT IT IS I'M SEEING IF IT'S GOING TO LOAD UP HERE SO IT DOES NOT, BUT, LET ME GO AHEAD AND SPEAK TO THAT. THIS WAS WHAT YOU HEARD IN THE PUBLIC HEARING TO THIS IS A 57.4 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED BOTH ON THE SOUTHWEST AND SOUTHEAST CORNER OF, FORT BEND TOLL ROAD AND SIENNA PARKWAY, WHICH WAS ANNEXED INTO THE CITY IN DECEMBER 2025. A LOT OF IT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED. THERE ARE, GIVE OR TAKE, ABOUT SEVEN ACRES OF LAND THAT WAS THAT IS CURRENTLY NOT DEVELOPED. WHEN WE ANNEXED THE LAND INTO THE CITY, IT'S GIVEN A TEMPORARY ZONING CLASSIFICATION, WHICH IS SUBURBAN DISTRICT. WE ARE NOW ASSIGNING A PD TO IT WITH USES THAT ARE CONSISTENT TO THE, ENTRY POINT INTO THE CITY, WHICH IS THE SIENNA PARKWAY AND FORT BEND TOLL ROAD. AND AGAIN, THOSE, THOSE TWO CORNERS ARE ON THE SOUTHWEST AND SOUTHEAST CORNER OF SIENNA PARKWAY AND FORT BEND TOLL ROAD. THE TWO OWNERS ARE HERE WITH US TODAY. I THINK, WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO ZONE INTO COMPATIBLE USES, WHICH THE CITY WANTS HERE IN WITH ENHANCED DESIGN STANDARDS, THEY HAD SOME QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS. STAFF WAS ABLE TO WORK WITH THEM. AND, THOSE USERS ARE STIPULATED IN THE PD ORDINANCE. THAT'S WITH YOU TODAY. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. THIS WAS POSTED BACK IN FEBRUARY. THERE WAS THIS WAS PRESENTED TO PLANNING AND ZONING. THERE WAS ALSO A JOINT PLANNING AND ZONING, AND CITY COUNCIL MEETING BECAUSE THE PROCESS STARTED AFTER THAT, PNC PROVIDES A POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION. THE ACTION ITEM FOR YOU IS TO, APPROVE THE ZONING AS PRESENTED HERE. OKAY. 
          SHASHI, I MEAN, WITHOUT SEEING WHAT IT IS, IT'S DIFFICULT. DO WE RECEIVE THE PRESENTATION OR DO WE? DID ANYONE HAVE THE PRESENTATION TO THE STAFF, TO THE OUR APOLOGIES, MAYOR. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS, BUT, I'M NOT SURE WHY THE PRESENTATION IS OKAY. THAT'S FINE. CRYSTAL, WHEN IS THE CUT OFF FOR FUTURE REFERENCES FOR FOR CITY COUNCIL MEETING PRIOR TO THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF THAT FIRST MONDAY AND THIRD MONDAY, WHEN DOES ANY PRESENTATIONS FROM ANY DEPARTMENT HAS TO BE GIVEN TO YOUR OFFICE ON FRIDAY BEFORE THE MEETING. OKAY. SO YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING. THE ACTUAL PRESENTATION WAS RECEIVED BY THE OFFICE. I DON'T KNOW WHY IT WAS NOT PUT INTO THE ACTUAL POSITION. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO, I'M GOING TO YIELD BACK. RECOGNIZE COUNCIL MEMBER MARSHALL. OKAY. THANK THANK YOU. 
          MAYOR. JUST FOR ITS, FOR YOUR NOTIFICATION IT IT IS LOADED INTO SOME OF THE SYSTEMS. IT'S JUST NOT INTO ALL OF THEM. SO IT'S HOW DID YOU GET IT ALL THE TIME. I JUST FOUND IT. OKAY. 
          MAYBE IF YOU COULD WALK US VISUALLY THROUGH WHAT IT. I HEARD EVERYTHING THAT YOU SAID, BUT I THINK PLACEMENT IS IMPORTANT AS TO THE ASPECT OF WHERE THESE, WHAT THE ZONING FACTS ARE GOING TO BE. WHAT DID YOU HIT HOME PANEL? HOME PANEL AT THE TOP. AND WHAT PAGE IS THAT AGENDA? AGENDA. WHAT PAGE IS THAT? 79, 79, 79 I WANT THANK YOU, IF YOU MAY, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, JUST A MINUTE. I THINK, CITY SECRETARY CRYSTAL IS TRYING TO PULL THAT UP. OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. AND AND THANK YOU ALL. IT WAS INCLUDED IN OUR PACKET. SO WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO, TO REVIEW IT. I JUST THINK IT'S PRETTY IMPORTANT THAT THE CITIZENS BE ABLE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AS WELL. IT'S NOT ONLY. A CERTIFICATION YOU'RE GOING TO PULL UP. YES. JUST GIVE US A MINUTE AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PULL UP ON THE SCREEN. THANK YOU. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO MOVE FOR. ME. HOW MANY RESOURCES. THAT. THAT'S THE ONE. 
          YES. MAYBE THEY GOT IT. ALL RIGHT. HERE WE GO. SORRY FOR THE DELAY, BUT HERE'S THE PRESENTATION, IF I MAY. GO AHEAD. MAYOR PRO TEM. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS THE LOCATION OF THE 
          [00:10:03]
PARCEL 57.4 ACRES. AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, IT'S THE SOUTHWEST AND SOUTHEAST CORNER OF SIENNA PARKWAY AND FORT BEND. TOLL ROAD, WHEN WE ANNEXED IN 25, GOT THE TEMPORARY ZONING AS SUBURBAN DISTRICT UNTIL IT'S PERMANENTLY ZONED. THESE ARE THE VARIOUS TRACKS. MOST OF THEM HAVE DEVELOPED. I THINK THE TRACKS THAT ARE UNDEVELOPED ARE ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER, WHICH IS TRACT A3. THE ONE BELOW IT. A2 IS, IS A DETENTION POND OR DESIGNATED FOR DRAINAGE. 
          AND THE HEART CORNER OF SOUTHEAST IS ANOTHER TRACT, A ONE A, WHICH IS UNDEVELOPED. 
          THE USERS THAT HAVE BEEN STIPULATED IN THE PD. AND BY THE WAY, THIS WAS, IN CONVERSATION WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT YOU HEARD IN THE PUBLIC HEARING ARE THESE ARE THE USERS. I MIGHT HIGHLIGHT ONE THING HERE. CAR WASH, THERE IS AN EXISTING CAR WASH. SO THAT IS KIND OF STIPULATED IN THE PD. THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE ANOTHER CAR WASH. THE PD DICTATES IT TO BE ONE CAR WASH. OTHER THAN THAT, THESE ARE THE USES I THINK THE STAFF DESIRED, AND I BELIEVE WE WERE ABLE TO REACH SOME KIND OF CONSENSUS WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS AS WELL. THESE ARE THE ENHANCED ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS. IF YOU MAY RECALL, THIS IS KIND OF THE GATEWAY INTO THE CITY, FORT BEND TOLL ROAD AND SIENNA PARKWAY. SO WE'RE HAVING DECORATIVE LIGHTING, ENHANCED PAVING, OUTDOOR SEATING, PUBLIC ART SHADED STRUCTURES, PROVIDING PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY AND SOME KIND OF A PLACEMAKING ELEMENTS INTO THIS PD. AND AGAIN, THESE ARE THE TWO CORNERS, THE SOUTHWEST AND SOUTHEAST CORNER OF SIENNA PARKWAY AND FORT BEND TOLL ROAD. SO THE IDEA IS TO HAVE SOME KIND OF A GATEWAY THEME WITH PARKING LOT LOCATED BEHIND THE BUILDING. SO THAT IS THE, THE VISION THAT STAFF HAS AND WHICH HAS BEEN INCORPORATED INTO THE PD. THE OTHER, USES ARE EXISTING, THE MULTIFAMILIES ALREADY EXISTING, BUT THAT'S BUILT INTO THE PD. SAME HAS THE OTHER ONE, THE A2, WHICH IS, DRAINAGE FACILITY, WHICH IS CLASSIFIED AS COMMUNITY FACILITIES. THE REQUIRED PUBLIC HEARING WAS POSTED. THE ONLY, WE GOT ONE COMMENT OR WRITTEN PROTEST AND IT WAS MAINLY, SOMEBODY WANTING MORE GREEN SPACE IN THE GENERAL ARENA. OTHER THAN THAT, I STAFF HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY WRITTEN PROTEST, PLANNING AND ZONING FORWARDS A POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION. OUR RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL IS TO APPROVE THE PD AS PRESENTED, AND WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. OKAY. AND RECOGNIZING COUNCIL MEMBER BROWN MARSHALL. THANK YOU. JOYCE, MY QUESTION IS HOW DO, EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN DEFINITION OF OH, I'M SORRY. I DON'T KNOW. EACH ONE. I APOLOGIZE. THAT'S OKAY. TO THE STANDARD DEGREE OF DECORATIVE LIGHTING AND GATEWAY ENTRY AND THIS TYPE THING. AND THANK YOU ALL FOR WORKING THAT IN. BUT HOW DO WE COMMUNICATE THAT TO THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY, THAT THIS IS A PARTICULAR DESIGN SCHEME THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. SO THOSE DESIGN ELEMENTS ARE ACTUALLY BUILT INTO THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT ORDINANCE. SO WHEN THEY SUBMIT PLANS AND PERMITS AND APPLICATIONS, THE ZONING TEAM, THE PLANNING TEAM WILL REVIEW THIS DOCUMENT FOR COMPLIANCE. AND SO THOSE ITEMS ARE BUILT INTO THE DOCUMENT. SO I READ THOSE. I READ THEM IN YOUR DOCUMENT. BUT THEY THEY AREN'T LOOSE. BUT IT CONCERNS ME BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN INTERPRETATION OF WHAT DECORATIVE MEANS OR WHAT AN ENTRY ENHANCEMENT SHOULD MEAN. SO WHAT ARE WE GOING TO REFER TO AS THAT OUTLINE. SO THERE IS A REQUIREMENT THAT THE ITEMS BE THE ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS, BE REVIEWED AND AUTHORIZED BY THE THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. SO THAT PERSON OF COURSE, WITH, THE CITY MANAGER WOULD DETERMINE OR HAVE SOME GUIDELINES FOR THAT. I KNOW IN THE, THE ENTRYWAY ORDINANCE THAT WE PROPOSED, THAT, THAT DID INCLUDE A GUIDELINE DOCUMENT. AND SO I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THIS WOULD BE A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY FOR STAFF TO DEVELOP THOSE GUIDELINES AS IT RELATES TO THIS PARTICULAR ORDINANCE. OKAY. I JUST, I DON'T WANT TO SEE US GET INTO A POSITION WHERE WE INFLATE THE COST SO MUCH THAT WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE A VERY BEAUTIFUL PROJECT BASED ON SOMEONE'S IDEA OF WHAT IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE. WHEN I KNOW WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE, ESPECIALLY ON THAT CORNER. SO I'M COMFORTABLE WITH IT BEING AT THE DEVELOPMENT 
          [00:15:01]
SERVICES, DIRECTORS LEVEL UNDER THE PURVIEW OF THE CITY MANAGER, BECAUSE THE CITY MANAGER IS MORE IN TUNE WITH WHAT IT IS THAT WE, WE WOULD WANT TO SEE. SO I THINK, HE OR SHE WOULD BE PERFECT TO RUN THAT BACK BY INSTEAD OF IT JUST VESTING WITH JUST ONE PERSON. AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE, YOU COULD CERTAINLY MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND THE ORDINANCE TO, ELIMINATE THE REFERENCE TO THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND CHANGE THAT TO THE CITY MANAGER SO THAT YOU ALL, MAY FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT PERSON. OKAY, I'LL WAIT AND LISTEN TO THE OTHER COMMENTS AND THEN WE'LL SEE. OKAY. THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER O'DEKIRK. THANK YOU. SO I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE STREETSCAPE AMENITIES AS WELL. IT SAYS EACH TRACK SHALL INCORPORATE AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING, TO GET THESE TYPES OF IMAGES THAT WE'RE SEEING. 
          YOU HAVE THREE, FOUR, FIVE ELEMENTS IN HERE AND THAT WITH JUST ONE, THERE'S NO WAY IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE THIS. BECAUSE WE KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY, DEVELOPERS NEED TO CUT CORNERS AND THEY WANT TO SAVE MONEY AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF. AND SO, I DON'T KNOW, THAT ONE ACCOMPLISHES WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR HERE. SO I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S REASONABLE TO ASK TO, FOR THAT TO BE AMENDED TO AT LEAST TWO. I THINK IF WE HAD LIGHTING PLUS PAVING OR LIGHTING PLUS OUTDOOR SEATING OR, YOU KNOW, I KIND OF THINK THE LIGHTING IS PRETTY CRITICAL MYSELF. PLUS SHADE STRUCTURES THAT WOULD FILL A GAP, BUT I DON'T SEE IT LOOKING ANYTHING LIKE THIS. IF THEY WOULDN'T AGREE TO AT LEAST TWO OUT OF THESE, SEVEN ITEMS. ALRIGHT, SO I GUESS ENJOYS, ONE THING I WOULD ASK IS I KNOW WE WENT CITY WENT BACK AND ANNEXES CORRECT THIS WHOLE AREA. DO WE STILL HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT WILL COME THERE OR WHAT'S TO COME? I THINK WE HAVE A FAIR IDEA ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER, WHICH IS KIND OF A MIXED USE FACILITY, HOPEFULLY WITH SOME, RESTAURANTS WITH SEATING CAPACITY THERE. WE, THE DEVELOPER THERE IS, IS IN THE AUDIENCE. AND THEY'VE BEEN ACTIVELY WAITING FOR THIS ZONING TO BE COMPLETE SO THEY CAN BRING IT IN CONCEPT AND AN APPLICATION, IF THE COUNCIL SO CHOOSES, THE APPLICANT IS HERE OR THE DEVELOPER IS HERE. THEY CAN, THEY CAN GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE INSIGHT INTO WHAT'S COMING. 
          I THINK, SHASHI, I THINK WE WANT TO KEEP THE DEVELOPERS OUT OF THESE CONVERSATIONS. THESE CONVERSATIONS SHOULD HAPPEN AT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES WHEN THERE ARE PRE PLANS, YOU KNOW, PRE PLANS ARE BEING DONE. RIGHT. SO I KNOW THE DEVELOPERS AND I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOU ALL LIVE IN THE CITY. SO YOU KNOW THE STANDARD OF THE CITY. SO I APPRECIATE THAT YOU ALL ARE BRINGING THIS BUSINESS, BUT I THINK WHAT WE NEEDED TO UNDERSTAND AS A BODY OF COUNCIL, INTERIM CITY MANAGER IS THAT WHEN THEY DO BRING FORTH, PROJECT THAT YOU ALL UNDERSTAND THE VISION OF THIS COUNCIL AND WHAT WE'RE EXPECTING. AND SO THIS WAY YOU CAN GUIDE THEM TOWARDS WHAT THE COUNCIL IS, YOU KNOW, IS VISIONING. IT MAY NEVER BE PERFECT. IT MAY NOT BE EXACTLY WHAT THE COUNCIL IS THINKING, BUT TO THE PROCESS OF, AS SOMEONE ASKED, I THINK IT WAS COUNCILMEMBER O'DEKIRK ON THAT PICTURE. CAN YOU GO BACK TO THAT PICTURE OF, WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE NOW? YES, THAT IS BEAUTIFUL. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE ASKED, IS IT GOING TO LOOK LIKE THAT? OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S JUST A RENDERING AND A PICTURE. IT MAY NOT LOOK LIKE THAT, BUT UNDERSTANDING CLOSE TO THAT'S THE VISION OF THE COUNCIL IS WHERE I STILL GO BACK TO IS IT STARTS AT THE PRE DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING. SO WE CAN SIT HERE AND TALK TO THEM AND TELL THEM TILL WE, YOU KNOW, WE, WE CAN SAY WHAT WE WANT, BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER. I THINK ALL OF THIS NEEDS TO GO BACK TO STAFF AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT'S THE VISION OF THE COUNCIL IS AND COMING BACK. WE JUST DON'T WANT TO TYPICAL STRIP CENTER ANYMORE. THAT'S ALL OVER MISSOURI CITY. IF YOU COME FROM DULLES ON HIGHWAY SIX, GOING ALL THE WAY TILL WE COME OUT OF, HIGHWAY SIX AND GOING INTO SOME ANOTHER CITY, THEN YOU'LL SEE SHOPPING CENTER THIS WE HAVE SOME OPPORTUNITY. WE DON'T HAVE. THEY HAVE THE. IN MY OPINION, I LIVE OFF CLOSE TO THERE. THEY HAVE A PERFECT, SPOT TO HAVE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL. I THINK THE CITIZENS ARE REQUESTING IT. 
          [00:20:01]
CITIZENS WANTING IT. THERE'S A NEED FOR IT JUST TO PUT SOMETHING THERE JUST TO PUT IT, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE MISHAP THAT'S BEEN TAKING PLACE IN MISSOURI CITY. AND I THINK IF THAT IS NOT THE DIRECTION THAT WHEN PREDEVELOPMENT MEETING STAFF IS SITTING IN UNDERSTANDING AND LISTENING TO IT, DON'T JUST LOOK TO CHECK THE BOX, BUT TO HAVE FURTHER CONVERSATIONS, TO KIND OF SAY, WAIT A MINUTE, I THINK WE'RE ALMOST HERE. LET'S GO BACK AND LOOK AT IT. THIS IS WHERE YOUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, YOUR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR, UNDERSTANDING THE VISION OF THE SEVEN PEOPLE AND THE CITIZENS THAT CAN GO BACK AND KIND OF TELL THEM WHAT WE WANT. OFTEN WHAT WE SEE IS WE HAVE DEVELOPERS WHO ARE LOOKING TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE CITY. THEY COME IN, THEY GET DISAPPOINTED FROM THE PUSH BACK FROM THE COUNCIL. OUR JOB IS NOT TO PUSH BACK. OUR JOB IS TO REQUEST TO SEE WHAT WE WANT, WHAT WE LIKE TO SEE, AND SO THAT THEY BRING FORWARD, ESPECIALLY AT THE FACT THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE SOMEONE WHO LIVES IN MISSOURI CITY IN THE CITY LIMIT. SO THEY UNDERSTAND THE SERIOUSNESS OF WHAT MISSOURI CITY IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE IN THE FUTURE. SO THAT'S MY COMMENT. I'M GOING TO YIELD BACK AND, RECOGNIZE COUNCIL MEMBER EMERY. YEAH, I JUST, BACK TO THE QUESTION THAT, COUNCILOR RAISED SAYS WE INCORPORATE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING. IF THIS IS A PD, CAN WE DICTATE THAT THERE ARE MORE THAN ONE, OF THESE FEATURES? I THINK SOME OF THE PRESENTATIONS WE HAD, IT INCLUDED A NUMBER OF THESE ITEMS. SO IF IT'S A PD, CAN WE DICTATE THAT THAT HAS TO BE THOSE FEATURES HAVE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE, THE, THE DESIGN AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PARTICULAR TRACK. YES, SIR. THE CURRENT, THE ORDINANCE AS WRITTEN AND PRESENTED JUST PROVIDES FOR ONE. BUT YOU COULD CERTAINLY OR A MEMBER COULD CERTAINLY MAKE A MOTION TO CHANGE THE NUMBER ONE TO THE NUMBER TWO OR HOWEVER MANY THE COUNCIL DESIRES. SO I GUESS I WOULD ASK, YOU KNOW, DOES THAT GET US CLOSER TO WHERE WE WANT TO BE IN WHAT WE, HAVE, KIND OF ENVISIONED WHAT WE WANTED AT THAT LOCATION. SO THAT'S MY COMMENTS. I, I, I THINK WE KNOW WHAT WE, WE DON'T ALWAYS KNOW WHAT WE WANT, BUT WE KNOW WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE. AND IF WE CAN EMBED IT IN THE PD TO, TO DICTATE THAT, MAYBE THAT'S, A WAY TO, TO MOVE FORWARD. OKAY, SO I'D HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION SINCE I PUT YOU ON THE SPOT. 
          AND DO YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT WE WANT? HANG ON. I'M JUST SAYING THAT I'M SORRY I DIDN'T HEAR YOU. WELL, DO YOU KNOW WHAT WE WANT? YES. YOU DO? YES. OKAY, SO THAT WAY MAKES IT EASIER IF YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. NOT I CAN'T SAY PICTURE TO A PICTURE. THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO. BUT THE TYPE OF RETAIL, THE TYPE OF EVENTS, THE TYPE OF RESTAURANTS THAT THE RESIDENTS OF MISSOURI CITY IS ASKING FOR IS WHAT IT IS. AND IF IT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE SEEING, WHAT THEY'RE BRINGING, I THINK WE GOT WE GOT TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE FRIENDLY WITH THEM. BUT BUT IT IT STARTS OFF AS WE HAVE SO MANY RULES AND REGULATIONS AND STIPULATIONS THAT WE PUT ON IT. IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE PEOPLE ARE OFF BY THE TIME THEY'RE DONE WITH THE BUILDING. SO WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALL UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CITIZENS, NOT JUST THE SEVEN OF US, WE REPRESENT THE CITIZENS. WHAT TYPE OF COMMERCIAL BASED THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. THAT'S ALL I WANT TO KNOW. IF I MAY CLARIFY ON THAT, MAYOR, WE HEARD YOU AT THE PUBLIC MEETING TO JOIN P AND Z IN CITY COUNCIL MEETING. THOSE HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED IN THE PD. THE THE USERS HAVE BEEN LIMITED TO WHAT THE FEEDBACK WE GOT. AND THAT'S THE PRODUCT THAT YOU HAVE TODAY. YES. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO YIELD BACK. AND, CITY SECRETARY, WE'RE GOING TO CALL FOR A MOTION. TO GO BACK TO THE HOME PANEL. OH, YOU GOT IT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THERE'S BEEN A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER BROWN MARSHALL AND SECONDED BY MAYOR PRO TEM CLAUSER. BUT I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS THE MOTION. OKAY. THANK YOU. MAYOR. IT'S MY MOTION IS TO ACCEPT YOUR PROPOSED ORDINANCE THAT YOU'RE PRESENTED WITH TWO CHANGES THAT A THE DEVELOPER, THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES UNDER THE PURVIEW OF THE CITY MANAGER, WILL HAVE THE FINAL SAY SO. AND TO GO BACK TO THE LIST OF THE COMPONENTS INSTEAD OF IT SAYING ONE COMPONENT, MY MOTION IS TO STATE THAT IT INCORPORATES COMPONENTS OF THE FOLLOWING IN 
          [00:25:09]
DETAIL FOR APPROVAL BY THE CITY MANAGER. THAT'S MY MOTION. OKAY. IS THAT DID YOU GET THAT? I DID, BUT FOR CLARIFICATION. SO ALL OF THE COMPONENTS, ALL COMPONENTS, COMPONENTS. OKAY, ONE MORE THAN ONE MORE THAN ONE, BUT NOT ONE. NOT ONE. THANK YOU. IS THAT YOUR SECOND? YES. ALL RIGHT. SEE, THERE'S BEEN A MOTION AND A SECOND SEEING NO ONE ELSE ON THE QUEUE. LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE. THE MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ITEM SEVEN A ONE PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE COMMENTS FOR OR AGAINST THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANTS PROGRAMS YEAR 2026 SEVEN B ONE SEVEN. SIX. SIX SIX CONSIDERATION. NO, SIR.

          [(2) Consideration and Possible Action - Approve the Community Development ...]
B ONE, AND SEVEN B TWO IS CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT CDBG PROGRAM YEAR 2026 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          WE HAVE SHASHI KUMAR, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. AGAIN. HERE WE HAVE A PRESENTATION AND THE PRESENTATION IS UP ON YOUR SCREEN AND EVERYWHERE HERE. AND JUST I WILL BREEZE THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION. WHAT IS CDBG? IT'S ESTABLISHED BY CONGRESS, HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 74 IS ADMINISTERED THROUGH THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT, COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS HUD, ADMINISTERS FUNDING TO ENTITLEMENT COMMUNITIES, WHICH WE ARE ONE. AND, IN, IN LOW AND MODERATE INCOME PERSONS AND HOUSEHOLDS TO PROVIDE DECENT HOUSING, SUITABLE LIVING ENVIRONMENT AND TO EXPAND, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES, IN ORDER TO FUND QUALIFYING ACTIVITY, IT HAS TO MEET HUD NATIONAL OBJECTIVES. AND MISSOURI CITY SHOULD HAVE A CONSOLIDATED PLAN, TO UTILIZE THOSE FUNDS. AGAIN, CDBG REQUIREMENTS ARE LISTED HERE BELOW. IT HAS TO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA AND CITY SHOULD HAVE A CONSOLIDATED PLAN. CITY HAS A FIVE YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN. 
          WE'RE IN YEAR THREE OF THIS FIVE YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN. THE CDAC COMMITTEE, WHICH IS THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO CITY COUNCIL, HAS IDENTIFIED PRIORITIES, WHICH HAS BEEN APPROVED BY COUNCIL ABOUT WHERE THIS FUNDING GOES. THE HIGH PRIORITY AREAS ARE LISTED BELOW, WHICH INCLUDES, DISABLED ASSISTANCE, CODE ENFORCEMENT, MENTAL HEALTH, HOUSING, REHAB, BATTERED INDIVIDUALS, MEALS ON WHEELS, EDUCATIONAL SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURES. THIS IS THIS IS THE PRIORITIES THAT CDAC RECOMMENDED AND COUNCIL HAS ADOPTED IN THE ADOPTED PLAN. 
          AND AGAIN, A LOT OF THESE THESE FUNDS CANNOT BE SPENT IN ALL AREAS OF THE CITY. THERE ARE CERTAIN CRITERIAS OF WHERE THIS LOW TO MODERATE INCOME AREAS ARE, AND THE PROJECTS SHOULD BE IDENTIFIED WITHIN THESE AREAS. MY NEXT SLIDE HAS A VISUAL OF THIS ONE. THESE ARE THE AREAS WITHIN THE CITY WHERE CDBG FUNDING CAN BE ALLOCATED. IF I MAY JUST QUICKLY GO THROUGH THIS FIFTH STREET AND INDEPENDENCE BOULEVARD 1092 AND PORTIONS OF MEADOW CREEK, HARRIS COUNTY, SECTIONS OF MISSOURI CITY, ANDRES GLEN AREA, SCANLON ROAD AND GRANT PARK AREA. THESE ARE GENERALLY THE AREAS WHERE FUNDING, COMING FROM CDBG CAN BE UTILIZED FOR ELIGIBLE PROJECTS. THE ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES ARE LISTED BELOW. PART OF IT INCLUDES 
          [00:30:06]
INFRASTRUCTURE, CODE ENFORCEMENT, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ACQUISITION OF REAL PROPERTY, AND OTHERS THAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN. INELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES ARE ALSO LISTED HERE. I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL THESE THINGS, BUT THESE ARE THE INELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES WHERE FUNDING CANNOT BE UTILIZED. THE CURRENT YEAR, IF YOU ALL MAY RECALL, HUD WAS CLOSED DOWN FOR A CERTAIN PART OF THIS YEAR. AND, WE TYPICALLY BRING FORTH 2026 FISCAL YEAR 26 FUNDING EARLY ON IN THE YEAR. BUT I THINK IN THIS YEAR, BECAUSE OF, THE, THE REASON THAT THE HUD WAS CLOSED FOR SOME TIME, WE JUST RECEIVED FUNDING AND WE ARE GETTING THE FUNDING AND THE PROJECTS, FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2026 TO YOU NOW FOR CONSIDERATION, THE DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT WE ARE RECEIVING THIS YEAR IS ABOUT $343,000. AND, THE ELIGIBLE ITEMS HERE ARE PUBLIC SERVICES, PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION, CODE ENFORCEMENT, HOUSING AND REHAB, AND PUBLIC FACILITIES. THESE ARE THE TYPICAL, AREAS WHERE CITY HAS INVESTED IN CDBG DOLLARS. AND AGAIN, THE DOLLAR AMOUNT ALLOCATED TO THE CITY. THERE IS A COMPLEX FORMULA THAT THE HUD FOLLOWS IN ALLOCATION OF THESE DOLLARS, 343,000 IS APPROXIMATELY IS WHAT'S COMING TO, TO US IN THIS FISCAL YEAR 2026. ONE THING THAT WE HAVE LOOKED DIFFERENTLY THIS YEAR IS, IN THE PAST, THERE ARE A LOT OF RESTRICTIONS ON HOW AND WHEN WE SPEND THESE DOLLARS. THE CITY HAS NOT DONE QUITE WELL IN TERMS OF SPENDING THE MONEY THAT WAS ALLOCATED. SO WE HAVE MADE SOME CHANGES THIS YEAR. WE ARE WITH THE GOAL OF PRIMARILY UTILIZING ALL THE DOLLARS THAT COMES TO THE CITY. AND ONE OF THE MAIN GOALS OR CHANGES THAT WE HAVE MADE IS TO ALLOCATE THESE FUNDS TO INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS, KIND OF SHOVEL READY INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. ABOUT 150 000 OF THIS MONEY IS BEING ALLOCATED TO PAVEMENT AND STREET REPAIRS IN ELIGIBLE CDBG AREAS, AND I WANT TO COMMEND THE COMMITTEE FOR MAKING THE CHANGE AND REALLOCATING THIS FUNDING, BECAUSE I BELIEVE, OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY TO IS TO UTILIZE ALL THE FUNDS THAT COME TO THE CITY. AND AGAIN, THESE WILL BE USED ONLY IN THESE AREAS WHERE THESE MONIES CAN BE SPENT. THE OTHER AREAS WHERE THE FUNDING IS ALLOCATED OR THE RECOMMENDATION FROM C, D, C IS THE PUBLIC SERVICE ACTIVITY, WHICH IS YOUR MEALS ON WHEELS AND THOSE PROGRAMS, THERE IS A 15% CAP. CDC IS RECOMMENDING, 15% FOR THOSE ACTIVITIES. PLANNING AND ADMINISTRATION. 
          THE MAXIMUM CAP IS 20%. IT FUNDS ONE OF THE POSITIONS THAT ADMINISTERS THE PROGRAM HERE IN THE CITY. THE OTHER THING THAT WE ARE UTILIZING HERE IS FOR CODE ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITY WITHIN THE CDBG AREAS. AND THE OTHER BIG CHUNK OF CHANGE THAT WE MADE IN THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR ARE PROPOSED TO MAKE IS TO FUND INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. SO THAT IS HOW THE PART OF 343,000 IS PROPOSED TO BE ALLOCATED. AND THIS IS THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE CDC COMMITTEE. WITH THAT, THE RECOMMENDATION, FROM CDC AND STAFF IS TO, AUTHORIZE ALLOCATION OF THESE FUNDS FOR THESE ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2026. BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. RECOGNIZING COUNCILMEMBER RILEY. 
          THANK YOU. MAYOR, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE FOR OUR 2026 ALLOCATION? I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE A FEW COMMENTS. COUNCIL IN PUBLIC MAY SEE A DIFFERENCE IN THE MAP FROM THIS YEAR. THERE WAS SOME CHANGES THROUGH OUR TARGETED AREA THROUGH THE FEDERAL REGULATION. SO IF YOU COMPARE THE MAP FROM THE PREVIOUS YEARS TO THIS YEAR, YOU'LL SEE SOME NEW AND ADDITIONAL AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED, FOR THE TARGETED AREAS FOR DISTRICT A AND DISTRICT B, AND THE OTHER ONE IS THE PUBLIC, SERVICE ALLOCATIONS THAT WE DECIDED ON. WE HAD 5 OR 6 DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AND SOME OF THEM JUST WERE NOT WORKING. IT WAS PUT A HUGE STRAIN ON US USING THOSE FUNDS IN A TIMELY MANNER. AND SO YOU'LL SEE A HIGHER AMOUNT THAT'S BEEN ALLOCATED TOWARDS THE FORT BEND SENIORS MEALS ON WHEELS, WHICH HAS BEEN A LONG STANDING ORGANIZATION THAT THE CITY HAS ALLOCATED FUNDS TO FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. AND THE REASON WE CHOSE THAT PARTICULAR ORGANIZATION BECAUSE THEY SERVICE ABOUT 24% OF THEIR POPULATION, THAT THEY SERVICE 24% OF THEM ARE RIGHT HERE IN MISSOURI CITY, WHICH IS A LOT. AND SO WE SAW THE NEED AND WE SAW THE IMPORTANCE OF MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE TAKING CARE OF OUR MISSOURI CITY RESIDENTS THROUGH THAT PARTICULAR ORGANIZATION. SO I JUST WANT TO KIND OF ADD SOME, BACKGROUND INFORMATION TO THAT. THANK YOU 
          [00:35:03]
MAYOR. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. RECOGNIZING COUNCILMEMBER BROWN MARSHALL. THANK YOU. MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SPEAKING ABOUT OUR SHORTFALLS AND OUR PRIOR YEAR PROGRAMS AND FOR THE NEED FOR US TO REALLOCATE THE FUNDS, OVER TO AREAS THAT WE CAN TRULY, TRULY SPEND THIS MONEY A LITTLE BIT QUICKER. ANOTHER THING THAT I SEE A NEED IN IS THAT WE GOT TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO SPEED UP OUR PROCESS AND PAYING PEOPLE, ONCE THEY SUBMIT THEIR RECEIPTS AND DIFFERENT THINGS. AND IF THEY AREN'T GETTING IT RIGHT, MAYBE WE FIND A WAY TO COMMUNICATE THAT BETTER TO THEM. HEY, YOU GOT TO GET THIS RIGHT SO THAT WE CAN PAY YOU FASTER. BUT IN TERMS OF THE REMAINING PROJECTS FROM THE FORWARD YEARS OR PRIOR YEARS, I SHOULD SAY, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THOSE DOLLARS ARE STILL AVAILABLE.
