FIRSTLY, I JUST WANTED TO SAY I'M REALLY GRATEFUL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH THE COMMISSION IN THIS ROLE. THINGS DO LOOK A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT FROM UP HERE. BUT YOU KNOW, I'M EXCITED AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I'M COMMITTED TO CONTINUE TO MAKE, YOU KNOW, THIS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE AND CONTINUE TO WORK WITH YOU ALL AND AM COMMITTED TO THAT. AND AGAIN, JUST WANTED TO STATE THAT IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT YOU ALL NEED TO DISCUSS, YOU KNOW, MYSELF AND THE PLANNING STAFF ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY. AND SO MOVING ON FROM THAT, WE DO HAVE A FEW UPDATES ON THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES SIDE. SO AT THIS TIME, I JUST WANT TO INVITE OUR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, SHASHI KUMAR, TO SPEAK A FEW WORDS. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS. GOOD EVENING. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW ME, SHASHI KUMAR, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, I THANK YOU FOR STEPPING UP INTO THIS ROLE AS WE TRANSITION FROM THE FORMER DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR AND OUR SEARCH BEGINS FOR THE NEW DIRECTOR, I WANT TO THANK STAFF FOR STEPPING INTO THIS ROLE. SHE'S SUPPORTED BY A GOOD TEAM HERE AND WITH ALL OUR SUPPORT. I THINK SHE'LL DO A FABULOUS JOB. WHAT I WANT TO SAY THAT THIS IS JUST NOT JUST A TRANSITION THING FOR US. IT'S A TRANSFORMATION PHASE. WE ARE LOOKING AT HOW TO MAKE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES BETTER. TAKE IT FROM THIS PHASE TO A PREMIER DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT. WITH THAT IN MIND, WE HAVE RETAINED THE CITY, HAS RETAINED THE CONSULTANT SERVICES OF MR. JIM CALLOWAY, WHO IS WITH US TONIGHT. MR. JIM, IF YOU COULD PLEASE STAND, SIR JIM, JUST TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT JIM, HE WAS HE HAS SERVED AS THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR FOR A NUMBER OF CITIES, NAMELY COLLEGE STATION AND CITY OF SUGAR LAND. I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO WORK WITH HIM. SO HAS A NUMBER OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF HERE. HE RETIRED AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AT CITY OF SUGAR LAND AND ALSO SERVED AS ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER. HE BRINGS A LONG TENURE AND A SUCCESSFUL TENURE IN TRANSFORMING THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT. HE HAS MENTORED A NUMBER OF CITY'S NUMBER OF STAFF. SO WE WE SEE THIS NOT JUST AS A TRANSITION OPPORTUNITY, BUT AS A TRANSFORMATION OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT TO A NEW LEVEL. AND WE HAVE RETAINED HIM AS A ADVISOR OF MANY THINGS. WHAT HE WILL BE DOING IS HELP US IMPROVE THE BUILDING, THE PERMITTING PROCESS, THE WHOLE PERMITTING PROCESS, THE SERVICE DELIVERY, AND OF COURSE, YOU'VE SEEN THAT OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO THE FINISH LINE. SO HE'S GOING TO HELP US WITH THAT. WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO SEE IF, JIM, YOU WANT TO SAY A FEW THINGS TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. VERY FEW. THANK YOU. WITH THAT, I WILL INTRODUCE JIM CALLOWAY AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. WELCOME, WELCOME. WE DON'T BITE. NO YOU DON'T. I'VE WATCHED A[00:05:06]
NUMBER OF YOUR MEETINGS, VIDEO ARCHIVES, AND I WAS KIND OF HAPPY TO SEE YOUR VERY BUSINESS ORIENTED, EFFICIENT PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. AND I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH PNG'S FOR.WE'RE GOING TO ROUND UP A FEW MONTHS AND SAY 50 YEARS. WOW. SO I'M WORKING ON A PROJECT IN THE CITY THAT THAT DOESN'T HAVE ZONING. AND I KEEP CALLING THEIR PLANNING COMMISSION THE PNC. I'M TRYING TO GET THROUGH THAT, BUT NO, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE OPPORTUNITY. I'M REALLY SURPRISED AT THE QUALITY OF PEOPLE YOU HAVE HERE. DIDN'T DIDN'T LOOK FOR THIS, BUT IT FOUND ME. AND IF WE COULD GET IT ALL DONE NEXT WEEK AND I COULD GO BACK TO THE PATIO AND THE CIGARS, WE'LL DO THAT. BUT I THINK IT'S GOING TO TAKE A WHILE. BUT I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH EVERYONE ON THE COMMISSION, THE CITY COUNCIL AND ALL THE STAFF. AND I'VE REALLY BEEN IMPRESSED BY WHAT I'VE SEEN HERE SO FAR. WELL THANK YOU.
I'LL BE AROUND AND HAPPY TO TALK TO ANY OF YOU AFTER THE MEETING. WELL, THANK YOU AND WELCOME. THANK YOU. QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU, SHASHI, WHAT DO YOU ALL WHAT'S THE CITY DOING, PARTICULARLY IN THIS AREA TO UTILIZE AI? BECAUSE IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, REVIEW OF PLANS AND PLAQUES AND STUFF LIKE THAT TAKES A LOT OF PEOPLE'S TIME. IT'S THE KIND OF STUFF THAT AI AUTOMATES. WHAT'S THE CITY DOING, LOOKING AT MAKING IT MORE EFFICIENT AND A LOT LESS COST. WHAT HAVE YOU TO. I'LL BE HAPPY TO. I KNOW THAT THE CITY IS LOOKING AT IT.
WHAT'S THE CITY DOING? LOOKING AT IT, I DON'T KNOW. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT WE'RE LOOKING AT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT MODELS. I KNOW SUGARLAND IS LOOKING AT IT.
DIDN'T LOOK AT IT WHILE I WAS THERE, BUT I KNOW THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT IT. AND I EVEN USE AI, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, A STRUGGLE FOR AN OLD GUY, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY BEING LOOKED AT.
I THINK THERE ARE PROS AND CONS, AND I THINK THE EARLY VERSIONS ARE GOING TO HAVE WORK TO DO.
BUT BUT SO DO THE HUMAN VERSIONS. WE HAVE WORK TO DO ON THEM TOO. SO WE'VE GOT TO FIND EFFICIENCIES. SO IT'S NOT A STATED GOAL OF THE CITY OF ANY KIND OF START MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A STATED GOAL OR NOT, BUT I KNOW THAT THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICE STAFF ARE LOOKING AT IT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANKS. YOU HAVE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT TIMES FOR THINGS GETTING THROUGH THE PROCESS. YOU HAVE SOME VERY STRINGENT CODES AND THOSE ARE GOING TO TAKE TIME. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET THROUGH SOME OF YOUR ZONING STANDARDS QUICKLY ON A PLAN REVIEW BY STAFF. AND YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE THOSE ARE MISSOURI CITY CODES.
THAT'S WHAT MISSOURI CITY THINKS IS RIGHT. AND THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO MAKE MISSOURI CITY THE CITY YOU WANT IT TO BE. SO I COMMEND YOU FOR THAT. BUT BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH SOME SOME REALITIES BECAUSE IT'S BEEN MY EXPERIENCE. SOME OF YOUR PROBLEMS ARE GOING TO BE IN CODES. SOME OF YOUR PROBLEMS ARE GOING TO BE PROCESSED PROBLEMS. SOME OF YOUR PROBLEMS MAY BE PEOPLE PROBLEMS, BUT WE'LL FIND OUT WHAT THEY ARE. AND SOME OF THEM MAY NOT WANT TO FIX BECAUSE IT JUST TAKES TOO MUCH TO FIX THEM. IT MAY IT MAY BE MONEY, IT MAY BE CHANGE IN HOW THINGS. WE DO BUT SOMEHOW YOU'VE GOT TO GET IN FRONT OF THE CITY COUNCIL WITH, HERE'S YOUR LEVEL OF SERVICE. AND IF YOU WANT A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF SERVICE, THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO. AND THIS IS HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST. AND IF I HAD KNOWN I WAS GOING TO BE ATTENDING PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING. NOTHING AGAINST PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETINGS. I'VE BEEN ATTENDING THEM FOR 50 YEARS, BUT I WOULD HAVE HAD A SEPARATE RATE FOR THAT. BUT I FAILED. I'M. THANK YOU. WELL, THANK YOU JIM. I KNOW THAT HE'LL BE ENGAGING WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING AND DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS. MR. SULLIVAN, JUST TO ANSWER YOUR QUICK QUESTION, WE ARE LOOKING AT AI IN DIFFERENT ASPECTS AS PART OF JIM'S EVALUATION WILL BE THAT ONE THING THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS A QUICK PLAN REVIEW CHECKLIST WHERE WE CAN USE AI TOOL. SO IT'S IN THE WORKS.
WITH THAT, I DON'T WANT TO TAKE FURTHER TIME. CHAIR. I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO YOU. THANK

[10. ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS]
NOW MOVE TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER TEN ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS ITEM TEN A ONE IS CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION. CONSIDER A RECOMMENDATION AND FINAL REPORT OF A REQUEST BY KIMBERLY HORN AND ASSOCIATES FOR A PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT ON APPROXIMATELY 8.5 ACRES. TRACT OF LAND TO ALLOW FOR DETENTION AND UTILITY USES, AND TO THE EXTENT SUCH ZONING DEVIATES FROM THE FUTURE LAND USE AND CHARACTER MAP OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO PROVIDE FOR AN AMENDMENT THEREOF. ALL RIGHT, SO THIS SITE IS LOCATED OFF OF TRAMMEL, FRESNO, ADJACENT TO THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED VICKSBURG RETAIL DEVELOPMENT PD 121. IT'S CURRENTLY CLASSIFIED AS SD SUBURBAN DISTRICT, AND THE PROPOSED DETENTION WOULD SERVICE APPROXIMATELY 40 ACRES FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT USE. REGULATIONS INCLUDE A DETENTION POND WITH PEDESTRIAN AMENITIES, POCKET PARKS, A FOOD TRUCK, COURTYARD AND FUTURE ACTIVATION PADS. COMMUNITY FACILITY REGULATIONS WILL APPLY FOR HEIGHT AND AREA. ADDITIONALLY, THE WATER LEVEL MUST BE MAINTAINED AT A MINIMUM DEPTH OF FOUR FEET AND THE DETENTION SHALL BE SURROUNDED BY A WALKING PATH. ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS INCLUDE A FOUNTAIN, BENCHES AND DECORATIVE LIGHTING, WITH AN ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATION PROPOSED BY STAFF FOR REQUIRING DECORATIVE LIGHTING A MAXIMUM OF 40FT APART ALONG THE WALKING PATH, AND THE STAFF REPORT CURRENTLY REQUIRES CANOPY TREES A MINIMUM OF 40FT APART. STAFF IS PROVIDING AN UPDATED RECOMMENDATION TO INSTEAD REQUIRE TYPE B SCREENING STANDARDS. PUBLIC HEARING WAS HELD ON JULY 27TH, AND WE'VE RECEIVED ZERO WRITTEN PROTEST AS OF AUGUST 5TH. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. AND WE ALSO HAVE THE APPLICANT HERE TONIGHT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. GO AHEAD. JUST A QUICK QUESTION. WHERE I LIVE, I HAVE A DETENTION POND BEHIND MY HOUSE THAT'S BEEN THERE FOR PROBABLY 60 YEARS, AND IT PROBABLY WAS INTENDED TO BE FOUR FEET DEEP AT ONE TIME, BUT WITH THE SILT AND THE RUNOFF, IT'S NOT. IT PROBABLY HAS ABOUT THREE FEET. SO IS THE APPLICANT FREE TO CHOOSE HOW THEY MAINTAIN THAT FOUR FOOT WATER LEVEL WHERE AS NOW IT MAY BE, SAY, 4 OR 5FT BELOW GRADE IN 20 YEARS IT'S GOING TO BE AT THE TOP. I CAN ANSWER THAT, COMMISSIONER. SO YES, THE CITY ENGINEER HAS THE ABILITY TO REQUIRE ANNUAL MAINTENANCE REPORTS FROM ANY DETENTION POND.[00:20:02]
SO WE WILL KEEP THAT BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IF THEY DON'T MAINTAIN IT, THE CAPACITY OF THE POND IS LESS AND LESS AND LESS. SO THERE'S MORE RISK OF FLOODING. SO WE DEFINITELY WILL HAVE A REQUIREMENT IN THE SITE PLAN THAT THEY MAINTAIN THAT HAVE A MAINTENANCE PLAN TO MAINTAIN THAT WATER LEVEL. OKAY. I GUESS THAT WASN'T REALLY MY QUESTION BECAUSE AGAIN, IF RIGHT NOW THE CAPACITY OF THAT THERE'S A CERTAIN CAPACITY, WHICH IS FROM THE BASE TO THE TOP RIGHT, YOU PUT FOUR FEET OF 3 OR 4FT OF SEDIMENT IN THERE. YOU HAVE CUT THAT CAPACITY SUBSTANTIALLY, RIGHT? THEY CAN STILL KEEP FOUR FEET OF WATER IN IT, BUT IT'S NOT REALLY GOING TO SERVE AS A DETENTION POND ANYMORE BECAUSE ANY WATER THAT HITS, IT'S GOING OUT. NOW.THE SO I'M SORRY, WOULDN'T WOULDN'T THE BETTER LANGUAGE BE SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF THERE HAS TO BE A DRY CAPACITY OF CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CUBIC FEET OR ACRE FEET INSIDE OF THAT VERSUS THEY'VE GOT TO KEEP FOUR FEET OF WATER IN IT. SO THAT REQUIREMENT IS, IS FOR THE WATER FEATURE OR THE WET POND AREA, THE DRY POND OR THE, THE ELEVATION ABOVE THAT, THE WET POND, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT GOING TO BE JUST THE FOUR FEET AND THE POND IS DONE. IT'S A REALLY DEEP POND. AND THE SPACE ABOVE THAT IS WHAT THE VOLUME IS THAT IS REQUIRED FOR THE DETENTION OF THE SITE. I GOT IT, SO BUT BUT YOU'RE TALKING. BUT THE MINUTE THAT BECOMES A DETENTION POND, IT WILL START TO THAT THAT THE CAPACITY OF THAT DETENTION POND WILL DECREASE. DECREASE. BECAUSE I'M ASSUMING YOU'VE GOT STORMWATER FALL OFF, STORMWATER RUNOFF IS GOING TO END UP IN THERE. RIGHT? RIGHT. AND THEN THEN IT'S GOING TO CARRY WITH IT SILT AND EVERYTHING ELSE, WHICH MEANS THE CAPACITY OF THAT POND IS GOING TO DECREASE OVER TIME. SO IT WOULDN'T BETTER LANGUAGE BE THAT IT HAS TO HAVE A CERTAIN CAPACITY, DRY CAPACITY, OKAY. AND THEY CAN MAINTAIN FOUR FEET IN IT, WHICH MEANS YOU STILL HAVE SOME USABLE CAPACITY ABOVE IT. SURE. AND WE CAN WE CAN CAPTURE THAT IN THE, IN THE SITE PLAN REVIEW PROCESS. SO THE REQUIREMENTS, FOR EXAMPLE, IS I WOULD ANY KIND OF WET POND, I WOULD HAVE A DEPTH GAUGE. SO THAT WAY, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE, OH, THE WATER LEVEL IS AT FOUR FEET OR WHATEVER DROPS. AND THEN WE ALSO KNOW THAT FOR SURE THAT THERE'S THE CAPACITY ABOVE THE POND. MAYBE, I GUESS MAYBE I'M NOT MAKING MYSELF CLEAR. IS THERE ANYTHING IN OUR REQUIREMENTS OR IN WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED HERE THAT SAYS THAT POND HAS TO HAVE A CERTAIN CAPACITY WHEN IT IS DRY TO HOLD A CERTAIN NUMBER OF CUBIC FEET? OR IS THAT OR CAN THAT NUMBER BE DECREASE OVER TIME? IS THERE ANY ABILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT HAS THAT CAPACITY? YES, IT'S THROUGH THE SITE PLAN PROCESS. SO WHEN THEY COME IN AND SUBMIT THEIR SITE PLAN FOR ENGINEERING REVIEW, WE, THE ENGINEERS WILL CALCULATE THE THE VOLUME OF THAT DETENTION POND. AND THEN THAT IS THAT IT'S WRITTEN IN BASICALLY BLACK AND WHITE THAT THEY HAVE TO MAINTAIN THAT IT IS. SO THEY HAVE TO MAINTAIN THAT DEPTH. YES. IS THAT APPLY? NO. THE VOLUME. THE VOLUME, SORRY. DOES THAT APPLY EVERYWHERE ACROSS MISSOURI CITY? YES. GOOD. I NEED TO TALK TO YOU. PERFECT. THANK YOU. YES. IF THERE ARE CASES WHERE THEY AREN'T THAT, THEN WE NEED TO FOLLOW UP. 50 YEARS AGO, PROBABLY. THANK YOU. THANKS FOR HELP ME UNDERSTAND THAT. SURE. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. IS THERE A MOTION ON AGENDA ITEM TEN, A ONE MOTION. OKAY. THAT'S THE JUST TO CLARIFY, THE MOTION IS POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE RECOMMENDATION POSITIVE. OKAY. JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR. MOTION HAS BEEN MADE. AND SECOND, ALL VOTE. MOTION CARRIES. MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 11 ZONING TEXT AMENDMENTS. SEEING WE HAVE
