LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE TO STEP OUT AND KEEP YOUR CAMERAS ON.

UM, IF YOU'RE A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WHO'S WITH US VIRTUALLY WELCOME, UM, WE WOULD ASK YOU TO TURN YOUR CAMERAS OFF UNTIL YOU'RE CALLED ON TO SPEAK, BECAUSE THAT HELPS US AVOID A, A LAG.

[Director’s Report]

GOOD AFTERNOON, UH, MADAM CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS.

HELLO.

I WANNA, UM, OKAY, SOMETHING'S UP.

CAN WE CUT THE ECHO? YOU'RE GOOD, MADAM CHAIR.

UM, I WANNA KEEP MY BRIEF, MY COMMENTS VERY BRIEF TODAY AND MAKE TWO, JUST TWO VERY BRIEF ANNOUNCEMENTS.

THE UPCOMING, THE UPCOMING MAJOR THOROUGHFARE AND FREEWAY PLAN.

PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE HELD ON THURSDAY, JULY 21ST DURING THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, WHICH BEGINS AT 2:30 PM SO PLANNING COMMISSIONERS WILL NEED YOU HERE AT YOUR NORMAL TIME.

BUT WE WILL BEGIN WITH THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARE AND FREEWAY PLAN, UM, EFFORTS.

THEN I ALSO WANT TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE CITY'S REDISTRICTING EFFORT WILL, UM, IS CONTINUING.

AND OUR FIRST OF THREE PUBLIC HEARINGS WILL TAKE PLACE AT CITY COUNCIL NEXT WEDNESDAY MORNING AT 9:00 AM AND I'M, SO YES, NEXT WEDNESDAY MORNING AT 9:00 AM THE PROPOSED MAPS AND THE PROPOSED REDISTRICTING PLAN WILL BE ON THE CITY OF HOUSTON PLANNING DEPARTMENT WEBSITE AT LET'S TALK HOUSTON.ORG, UM, BY FOUR O'CLOCK THIS AFTERNOON FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEE.

WITH THAT, I'M GONNA ACTUALLY HAND OVER THE REST OF MY PUBLIC COMMENTS TO, UH, DEPUTY ASSISTANT, I'M SORRY, DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL DEIDRE PENNY.

SHE WANTS TO, UH, SPEND A FEW MOMENTS UPDATING YOU.

I KNOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR DEED RESTRICTION REVIEW PROCESS RECENTLY AND THE CHALLENGES THAT WE'VE HAD SINCE, UM, ARVA HOWARD

[00:05:01]

RETIRED.

AND SO, UM, DEIRDRE WANTED TO COME AND SPEND A MOMENT FILLING YOU IN ON WHAT WE'RE DOING, UM, WITH DEED RESTRICTION REVIEW AND ANSWERING SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS.

SO, DEIRDRE, THANK YOU, DIRECTOR AND THANK YOU COMMISSION.

I APPRECIATE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WITH YOU ALL AND ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

WE WANTED TO COME TODAY TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND LET YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE AWARE THE CHALLENGES THAT WE'VE HAD IN REVIEWING THESE ITEMS. WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT IMPACTS YOU, OUR CLIENTS, OUR CUSTOMERS IN THIS COMMISSION.

IT'S ALWAYS OUR HOPE AND OUR INTENTION TO RESOLVE THESE CHALLENGES BEFORE THEY RESULT IN DELAYS TO THE PROCESS AND DEFERRALS.

BUT WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED SOME CIRCUMSTANCES THAT HAVE MADE THOSE UNFORTUNATE DELAYS UNAVOIDABLE.

AS THE DIRECTOR JUST REFERENCED, PRIOR TO ARVA RETIRING, I BELIEVE OUR SERVICE LEVELS WERE CONSISTENT AND DEFERRALS DUE TO LEGAL REVIEW WERE RARE.

IT PAINS US THAT WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT SAME LEVEL OF SERVICE AND THE SPEED THAT WE NORMALLY HAD.

OF COURSE, WITH HER RETIREMENT, COUPLED WITH THE DEPARTMENT BEING SHORT STAFFED, IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT FOR US TO ACHIEVE OUR GOAL OF CONTINUING THAT SAME LEVEL OF SERVICE.

WE HAVE DONE TAKEN MEASURES TO TRY AND ACHIEVE THOSE LEVELS, INCLUDING RETAINING OUTSIDE COUNSEL.

AS YOU PROBABLY HAVE EXPERIENCED, THAT HASN'T BEEN AN EASY PATH FOR US EITHER.

MOST REGRETTABLY, FOR THE APPLICANTS WE HAVE BEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO WORK THROUGH GROWING PANELS WITH OUTSIDE COUNSEL, FROM COMMUNICATION TO FILE TRACKING, TO ENSURING TIMELY RESPONSES AND SUFFICIENT STAFFING.

BUT WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT DESPITE THOSE PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS, THERE ARE STILL SOME AREAS THAT ARE CONTRIBUTING TO DELAYS THAT ARE TRICKLING DOWN AND RESULTING IN THE DEFERRALS THAT YOU ALL ARE SEEING.

WE ARE STILL WORKING TO IMPROVE OUR PROCESSES.

AS RECENTLY AS THIS WEEK, WE HAVE CONFERRED WITH OUTSIDE COUNSEL.

AGAIN, THEY HAVE ASSURED US THEY WILL EXPEDITE MATTERS GOING FORWARD.

WE'VE ALSO ASKED THEM TO ASSIGN ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO THE LEGAL REVIEW TO ASSIST US IN MOVING THESE ITEMS QUICKLY.

WE HAVE BEEN FOR MONTHS, DILIGENTLY TRYING TO REPLACE MS. HOWARD.

WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT WE HAVE A CANDIDATE AND THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO ONBOARD SOMEONE IN NEAR FUTURE, BUT I DO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS ISN'T ENOUGH, AND WE ARE GONNA CONTINUE TO WORK TO EXPEDITIOUSLY IDENTIFY SOLUTIONS SO WE CAN RESUME THAT LEVEL OF SERVICE.

I'LL BE CANDID WITH YOU ALL ON SAYING, I WISH I COULD SAY THAT THE SOLUTIONS WE'VE IMPLEMENTED THE DATE AND THE ONES THAT WE'RE CON CONTINUING TO IMPLEMENT WILL RESOLVE THOSE DELAYS OVERNIGHT, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT WON'T.

WE'RE ASKING FOR YOUR CONTINUED PATIENCE AND TO BEAR WITH US JUST A FEW MORE COMMISSION MEETINGS WHILE WE GIVE THE CURRENT SOLUTIONS TIME TO WORK AND IMPLEMENT ADDITIONAL SOLUTIONS.

I WANNA ASSURE YOU THAT WE ARE COMMITTED TO RETURNING TO OUR PRIOR SPEEDS, TO AVOIDING DELAYS AND DEFERRALS DUE TO LEGAL DEPARTMENT REVIEW.

IT IS OUR EXPECTATION THAT WITHIN THE NEXT TWO TO THREE CYCLES, YOU ALL SHOULD START TO SEE THE EFFECTS OF THESE PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS.

AND WE ARE COMMITTED TO CONTINUING TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AND MODIFICATIONS TO ENSURING WE'RE HANDLING THESE IN A TIMELY AND EFFICIENT MANNER.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALLOWING ME TO ADDRESS YOU ALL TODAY.

MS. PENNY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO BE HERE TODAY AND SPEAKING TO SPEAK TO US AND OUR, OUR CLIENTS WHO ARE WATCHING THIS MEETING.

UM, I, IT IS VERY HEARTENING AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE A PROBLEM AND ARE SET ON FIXING IT.

AND, UH, WE COMMIT ANYTHING WE CAN DO AS A COMMISSION TO ASSIST WITH THAT IN ANY WAY.

WE, WE ARE READY AND WILLING TO DO IT.

I, I CAN'T STATE STRONGLY ENOUGH HOW IMPORTANT THIS REVIEW IS TO THE WORK THAT WE DO HERE EVERY TWO WEEKS.

UM, WE RELY ON THIS LEGAL ADVICE TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT REGULARLY AFFECT PEOPLE'S LIVES, NEIGHBORHOOD LIVES, AND PEOPLE'S LIVELIHOODS, OUR CLIENTS.

AND IT IS JUST IMPERATIVE THAT WE HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE PROCESS.

SO, UM, THANK YOU FOR WORKING ON IT.

UM, AND PLEASE, PLEASE KEEP KEEP IT UP AND WE'VE GOTTA FIGURE THIS OUT.

BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THE MATTER.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

UH, ANY COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSION? I GUESS NOT.

THANK MADAM CHAIR.

OH YES, COMMISSIONER GARZA.

UM, JUST MS. PENNY, UH, COMMISSIONER GARZA HERE, JUST WANTING TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR DILIGENCE AND FINDING SOLUTIONS TO WHAT I'M SURE ARE MAJOR, MAJOR CHALLENGES.

AND, UM, WE SIMPLY WANNA EXPRESS OUR APPRECIATION TO YOU AND YOUR DEPARTMENT FOR TRYING TO FIND SOLUTIONS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

DOES, UM, THAT STILL TAKE PLACE? I'M NOT SURE IF THAT STILL TAKES PLACE.

ANYBODY ELSE? THANK YOU.

COMMISSIONER SIGLER.

CHAIR, THIS IS A, OH, COMMISSIONER, NOTE THAT COMMISSIONER ROSENBERG HAS JOINED THE MEETING.

PLEASE.

UM, IN THE PAST, AND I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS STILL PRACTICE, THE APPLICANT AND OR OWNER WOULD SIGN OFF SAYING THAT THEY WERE IN COMPLIANCE IF THERE WERE DEED RESTRICTIONS.

[00:10:01]

I CAN ASK AND GET BACK TO YOU UNLESS KIM IS ON THE LINE AND SHE KNOWS THE ANSWER.

UH, I AM, THIS IS KIM MICKELSON.

I AM LINE AND I THINK, UM, COMMISSIONER DEL, I THINK YOU'RE REFERRING TO THE FORM THAT THE APPLICANT FILLS OUT WHEN THEY GO TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT FOR THE PERMIT.

WELL, UM, IT'S COMMISSIONER SIGLER AND NO, OH, SORRY.

IN THE PAST.

OH, THAT'S OKAY.

IN THE PAST, THERE, IN THE PAST WHEN YOU SUBMITTED A FOR A PLAT, YOU SIGNED, UM, THAT YOU WEREN'T IN, THAT YOU WERE, YOU, IF YOU, IF THERE WERE DEED RESTRICTIONS, YOU WERE NOT, UM, IN VIOLATION.

IN VIOLATION.

DID WE DROP THAT OR IF, IF I MAY COMMISSION.

MY NAME IS TI MARTIN.

GOOD AFTERNOON, KIM.

UH, IF I CAN ASK, TRY TO ASK AND ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

THE, THE ONLY FORM CURRENTLY THAT PEOPLE SIGN IS THAT, UH, THAT THEY KNOW THAT THESE, THE PLAT MEETS ALL THE RULES AND THEY JUST HAVE AN, UH, SIGNATURE AND THE PLA TRACKER WEBSITE, BUT THEY DON'T SIGN ANYTHING FOR PLATTING.

WHAT IS THERE ON THE FACE OF THE PLAT ITSELF IS A DEDICATED LANGUAGE THAT SAYS THAT THEY'RE NOT ATTEMPTING TO VIOL TO, TO VIOLATE ANY DE RESTRICTIONS OR PLAT RESTRICTIONS WHEN THEY'RE SUBMITTING A RE PLAT.

THAT'S ALL THERE IS.

THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A SEPARATE DOCUMENT THAT WE SIGNED TO, TO MY KNOWLEDGE.

I LIKE WAY BACK IN THE DAY WHEN I WAS SUBMITTING PLAS, I, I DO, I DO VAGUELY REMEMBER AND I CAN CHECK ON THAT, BUT, AND, UM, IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT COULD HELP THIS PROCESS ALONG.

I MEAN, IF YOU HAVE AN OWNER THAT IS, IS REVIEWING THEM THEMSELVES AND IN GOOD CONSCIOUS FINDS SOMETHING, I MEAN, IT'S JUST ANOTHER STEP.

AND I KNOW THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT WOULD STILL OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO REVIEW, BUT IT COULD CATCH A FEW AND JUST HELP MOVE THIS PROCESS ALONG THAT AS WE'VE ALL SAID, NEEDS TO BE SPED UP.

YEAH, I MEAN WE, I THINK WOULD CONSIDER ANYTHING THAT COULD HELP AT THIS POINT.

ABSOLUTELY.

ANYBODY ELSE? UM, OKAY, WELL WE WILL, UH, MOVE ON.

DIRECTOR WALLACE BROWN.

DID THAT CONCLUDE YOUR REPORT? DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? ACTUALLY, ACTUALLY IT DID NOT CONCLUDE MY REPORT.

I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE, UM, ONE OF OUR INTERNS IS WITH US TODAY, SO, UH, MAY I VERY BRIEFLY INTRODUCE ISH, VAL MORGAN, WHO IS INTERNING WITH OUR DEPARTMENT.

UM, SHE NISH WILL BE A SENIOR AT CLEAR LAKE HIGH SCHOOL NEXT YEAR.

YEAH, GO FALCONS.

THAT'S WHERE I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL.

UM, HE'S CURRENTLY LEARNING ABOUT PLANNING ACTIVITY AND DEVELOPMENT TRENDS WITH OUR TEAM AND WE'RE REALLY PLEASED TO HAVE HIM.

GREAT.

AND THAT DOES CONCLUDE MY DIRECTOR'S REPORT.

THEN WE WOULD MOVE ON TO APPROVAL OF THE JUNE 23RD PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, WHICH WERE IN YOUR PACKET.

UH, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR DIRECTOR MARGARET WALLACE BROWN? UH,

[Approval of the June 23, 2022 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes]

IF THERE ARE NO ADDITIONS OR CORRECTIONS, IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES? MOTION GARZA.

GARZA.

IS THERE A SECOND? ROBINS? ROBINS.

ROMAN NUMERAL ONE IS A PRESENTATION ON THE LIVABLE PLACES ACTION COMMITTEE.

[I. Livable Places Action Committee update (Suvidha Bandi)]

UH, MS. BANDY, WELCOME HERE.

SORRY.

I'M HERE TODAY TO PROVIDE A BRIEF UPDATE ON THE LIVABLE PLACES ACTION COMMITTEE'S WORK.

THE GOAL OF LIVABLE PLACES IS TO PROVIDE, TO PAVE THE WAY FOR MORE CONNECTED, RESILIENT, AND LIVABLE NEIGHBORHOODS FOR ALL.

HOUSTONIANS ACTION COMMITTEE IS FOCUSING ON UPDATING DEVELOPMENT RULES THAT ENCOURAGE HOUSING VARIETY AND AFFORDABILITY.

A LOT OF DETAILED INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE, LIVABLE PLACES, AND ALSO LET'S TALK HOUSTON, WHICH IS OUR ENGAGEMENT TOOL.

SO QUICKLY JUMPING INTO THE TOPIC, UM, HERE IS WHAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED SO FAR WITH THE COMMITTEE'S WORK.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO GO, UM, ONE BY ONE, BUT VERY BRIEFLY.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

THE FIRST THING THAT THE COMMITTEE WORKED ON WAS THE TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS.

AND, UM, CITY COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THESE AMENDMENTS ON MAY 18TH OF THIS YEAR, AND THEY WERE EFFECTIVE JUNE 10TH.

ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT CHANGED WITH THE TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS IS THE NOTICE AREA, UM, THAT CHANGED FOR VARIANCES, PUBLIC HEARINGS AND DEVELOPMENT PLATS, AND ALSO THE NUMBER OF ADVANCED NOTICE THAT GOES OUT TO THE PUBLIC, WHICH IS 20 DAYS.

IT USED TO BE SEVEN DAYS FOR VARIANCES AND 16 DAYS FOR PUBLIC HEARING.

SO THAT'S A BIG CHANGE THAT OUR APPLICANTS WOULD HAVE SEEN.

UM, NEXT ITEM WE WORKED ON WAS CONSERVATION DISTRICTS.

THE

[00:15:01]

PURPOSE WAS OF CONSERVATION DISTRICTS IS TO ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS SENSITIVE TO THE COMMUNITY'S CHARACTER AND IT IS, UH, A MORE FLEXIBLE WAY FOR PROPERTY OWNERS TO PROTECT THEIR COMMUNITY'S CHARACTER.

AND WE ARE WORKING, UH, LEGAL IS WORKING ON THE DRAFT LANGUAGE FOR THIS PORTION OF THE WORK.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

THE NEXT THING, UH, WITH THE COMMITTEE WE WERE WORKED ON WAS RESIDENTIAL BUFFERING SCREENING AND LIGHTING.

UM, WITH THIS WORK, WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS DISCUSSED RESIDENTIAL BUFFERING STANDARDS FROM GARAGES AND SCREENING FROM GARAGES AND ALSO THE, UH, LANDSCAPE BUFFER DISTANCE FROM HIGH-RISE STRUCTURES.

AND, UM, LEGAL IS WORKING ON THE DRAFT LANGUAGE FOR THIS PORTION AS WELL WITH THE NEXT, UM, ITEM THAT WE WORKED ON IS ACTUALLY A HOUSING PIECE, UM, WHICH INCORPORATES A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT MAINLY THE CONCEPT IS THE MISSING MIDDLE HOUSING.

A LOT OF ARE PURSUING THE MISSING MIDDLE HOUSING CONCEPT.

AND WITH THAT WE WORKED ON MULTIPLE THINGS.

UM, UH, THE FIRST THING WAS, UH, MULTI-UNIT RESIDENTIAL, WHICH TALKS ABOUT ALLOWING MORE THAN JUST, UM, TWO UNITS ON PROPERTIES THAT ARE NOT DE RESTRICTED AND ARE UNRESTRICTED LOTS WITH NO RESTRICTIONS IN SITUATIONS WHERE THERE IS ALREADY AN EXISTING DUPLEX, MAYBE THERE IS A POSSIBILITY IF IT'S UNRESTRICTED TO ADD ANOTHER DUPLEX.

SO THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY THAT THIS, UM, MULTI-UNIT RESIDENTIAL PROVIDES.

THEN WE DISCUSSED, UM, SECONDARY DWELLING UNITS AND THE RULES RELATED TO PARKING WITH THE SECONDARY DWELLING UNITS.

UM, WE ALSO DISCUSSED, UH, SMALL LOT DEVELOPMENTS.

UH, FOR EXAMPLE, DEVELOPMENTS WITH SHARED DRIVEWAYS WITH FLAG LOTS WITH TYPE TWO PAES.

AND WE ALSO DISCUSSED A NEW CONCEPT WHICH IS NOT AVAILABLE TODAY IN HOUSTON.

THE COURTYARD STYLE DEVELOPMENT.

ALL OF THESE ARE PART OF THE HOUSING PIECE, WHICH, UM, WE ARE WORKING ON, UH, ENGAGING WITH THE PUBLIC RIGHT NOW.

AFTER WE GOT SIGNIFICANT FEEDBACK AND GOOD INPUT FROM THE COMMITTEE WE'RE, UM, UH, THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE AVAILABLE ON LET'S TALK HOUSTON WEBSITE, BUT WE ARE REACHING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY TO GET FEEDBACK ON THIS.

SO I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO VISIT OUR WEBSITE.

UM, DURING THE PROCESS OF WORKING ON THIS HOUSING PIECE, UM, WE REALIZED, UM, THAT THERE IS DETENTION REQUIREMENTS THAT RULES ARE DIFFERENT FOR FRONT LOADERS VERSUS SHARED DRIVEWAYS AND ESPECIALLY FOR PROPERTIES THAT ARE SMALLER THAN 15,000 SQUARE FEET AREA.

NOW THE CHANGES WITH THE NEW IDM STANDARDS EFFECTIVE JULY 1ST, THE CHANGE HAS BEEN MADE WHERE IF THE PROPERTY IS 15,000 SQUARE FEET AREA OR LESS, THE FRONT LOADERS AND SHARED DRIVEWAYS WILL HAVE SIMILAR DETECTION REQUIREMENTS.

SO I THINK, UM, I REALLY APPLAUD OUR PUBLIC WORKS TEAM, UH, ON ACHIEVING THIS.

UM, AND IT'S VERY HELPFUL FOR DEVELOPERS WHO ARE DEVELOPING THE PROPERTY IN HOUSTON.

UM, WITH ALL OF THE HOUSING PIECE, WE ALSO DISCUSSED PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND ONE OF THE BIG CONCEPTS IS THE APPROACH TOWARDS PARKING.

UM, IN FACT REDUCE PARKING REQUIREMENTS WHEN THE UNITS ARE SMALLER AND MARKET-BASED PARKING WHEN THE PROPERTIES ARE IN PROXIMITY TO OTHER MODES OF TRANSIT SO THAT WE CAN ENCOURAGE OTHER MODES OF TRANSIT IN HOUSTON AND WALKABILITY AS WELL.

UM, SO THE NEXT MEETING, UM, IS ON JULY 12TH, UH, THREE TO 5:00 PM AND WE WILL BE DISCUSSING, UH, RESERVE STANDARDS AND SMALL, VERY MINOR CHANGES TO MULTI-FAMILY REQUIREMENTS.

I WANT TO NOTE THAT THIS WILL BE OUR PROBABLY LAST MEETING WHERE WE'LL BE BRINGING NEW TOPICS.

HOWEVER, WE WILL STILL BE MEETING WITH THE COMMITTEE WITH OUR ENGAGEMENT PLANS AND WE WOULD LIKE ALL OF YOURS AND THE COMMITTEE'S SUPPORT WITH OUR ENGAGEMENT PROCESS AND THE NEXT STEPS COMING TO ALL OF YOU FOR, UM, APPROVAL AND THEN TO THE COUNCIL.

UM, SO WE ARE TRANSITIONING FROM HERE ON GOING FORWARD INTO THE NEXT PHASE OF THIS PROJECT.

UM, HERE IS A TIMELINE OF, UH, WHERE WE ARE.

UH, WHAT IS HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW IS WHAT WE ARE DOING RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS ENGAGEMENT WITH THE PUBLIC.

SO ACTIVELY, UM, REACHING OUT TO COMMUNITIES WHO WANT TO MEET.

AND ALSO WE HAVE A PLAN THAT, UH, WE ARE GOING TO PUBLISH AND DISTRIBUTE TO THE COMMITTEE.

UM, WITH THAT, UM, NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

UM, HERE IS A SLIDE THAT SHOWS THE LINKS TO THE WEBSITES AND ALSO THE QR CODE THAT CAN HELP YOU TAKE TO LET'S TALK HOUSTON, WHERE ALL OF THIS INFORMATION AND THE RECOMMENDATION DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE.

I ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO VISIT, UM, AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THESE RECOMMENDATIONS.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

AND I WANT TO THANK, UH, TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK OUR MADAM CHAIR AND OUR CO-CHAIRS, MR. GARZA

[00:20:01]

AND MS. CLARK FOR GUIDING US THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND, UM, FOR CONTINUED SUPPORT.

SO WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME YOU HAVE GIVEN US.

UM, WITH THAT, I'M READY FOR QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH MS. BANDY.

AND I, UH, I WILL, I'LL CALL ON COMMISSIONER GARZA, OUR INTREPID CHAIR TO MAKE FURTHER COMMENTS, BUT IT'S REALLY EXCITING THAT WE'RE ABOUT TO ENTER THE HOME STRETCH OF THIS WORK.

IT'S BEEN A HERCULEAN TASK AND YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB.

COMMISSIONER GARZA, THANK YOU SO MUCH MADAM CHAIR.

FIRST, UH, OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, FROM LISA CLARK AND MYSELF EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE TO SAVITA MARGARET WALLACE BROWN AND THE ENTIRE DEPARTMENT FOR YOUR DEDICATION TO THE MISSION OF LIBERAL PLACES.

THE MEETINGS HAVE BEEN REALLY EXCITING AND INTERESTING AND WE HAVE A LOT OF STAKEHOLDERS WHO HAVE STEPPED FORWARD TO GIVE US THEIR INPUT SO WE KNOW NOT JUST WHAT WE THINK FROM 10,000 FEET, BUT WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING ON THE GROUND TODAY.

SO MORE IMPORTANTLY, UM, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN WORKING WITH MANY, MANY OTHER DEPARTMENTS HERE IN THE CITY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE NOT PIE IN THE SKY.

WE'RE ASKING FOR REAL VIABLE SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES THAT WE'RE FACING TODAY.

SO I JUST WANNA EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE AND THANKS TO YOU SAVITA AND THE DEPARTMENT AND EVERYONE WHO IS INVOLVED, OUR STAKEHOLDERS IN GETTING US TO THIS POINT TODAY.

WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE WORK THAT, UH, THAT WE ARE ALL DOING.

AND YOU'VE SEEN SOME OF IT TODAY AND WE THINK THAT, UM, IF OUR TRACK RECORD HOLDS, UM, UH, CITY COUNCIL WILL HELP US, UH, MOVING FORWARD WITH ALL OF THESE.

AND THE NEXT STEP NOW IS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

AND THAT'S GONNA BE VERY, VERY INTERESTING AND IT WILL HOPEFULLY ADD TO WHAT WE'RE DOING AND MAYBE MAKE CORRECTIONS AND TWEAKS TO WHAT WE DON'T KNOW.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK.

OKAY, WITH THAT WE WILL MOVE TO ROMAN NUMERAL TWO, WHICH IS PLATTING ACTIVITY.

THANK YOU COMMISSIONERS.

MELODY OAKS IS OPEN.

WE DO HAVE A LOT OF SPEAKERS.

UM, I'M GONNA TRY TO CALL ON EVERYBODY WHO'S ACTUALLY IN THE ROOM FIRST, AND THEN WE'LL DO THE PEOPLE WHO SIGNED UP IN ADVANCE AND ARE VIRTUAL.

SO WAIT TILL I CALL YOU AND WE'LL DO A, A GENERAL CALL AT THE END TO MAKE SURE WE'VE GOT EVERYBODY.

THE FIRST SPEAKER I HAVE LISTED IS, UM, LAURA IN PERSON IS MARIA HINTZ.

H-I-N-T-Z.

MS. HINTZ, THERE YOU ARE.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

MY NAME IS MARIA HESS.

I AM ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS, UH, IN THIS AREA.

UH, WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE TRAFFIC AND WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF, UH, ROUTES TO GO OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO, UH, I WANNA I WANNA SHOW YOU EXACTLY WHAT IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE WE ARE ENCLOSED FROM LONG POINT TO WESTVIEW FROM, UM, WORD TO ANTOINE.

AND WE ONLY HAVE TWO WAYS TO CROSS FROM WORD TO ANTOINE, WHICH IS JANET.

AND THEN WE HAVE CHATTY BELLA.

IN CHATTY BELLA.

WE HAVE, UH, IN ONE CORNER WE HAVE A CHURCH AND THE MENDEN HALL COMMUNITY CENTER.

AND ON THE OTHER, UH, SIDE OF THAT STREET, UH, WE HAVE A SCHOOL AND A DANCE STUDIO.

SO THE TRAFFIC IN CHATTY BELLA IS TERRIBLE, UH, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE KIDS ARE IN SCHOOL AND ALL THAT.

SO ALL THE TRAFFIC MOVE MOVES TO JANET.

AND WE HAD HAD PROBLEMS IN THE PAST AND WE REQUESTED A STUDY OF THE TRAFFIC AND UH, THE CITY GAVE US SOME SPEED BUMPS.

WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR SOME MORE, BUT IT IS, IT IS REALLY BAD.

SO THE, THE THING WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT IS THAT THEY HAVE, THE DEVELOPMENT HAS ACTUALLY THE EXIT.

ONE OF THE LOTS HAS THE EXIT IN JACKING AND THAT GOES DIRECTLY TO LONG POINT.

AND THAT WILL BE THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

NOW THE DEVELOPMENT IS ASKING TO CLOSE THAT ENTRANCE AND THEN GET ALL THROUGH JANET.

SO RIGHT NOW, WITH THE TRAFFIC THAT WE HAVE, IT'S VERY HARD TO GET ANOTHER 23.

IT WILL BE 43 CARS COMING OUT, AND IT'S NO SPACE.

IT REALLY IS NO SPACE.

SO WE WOULD LIKE TO, WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO DEVELOPMENT, BUT WE NEED TO, TO MEET THE, THE NEEDS OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD TIME.

DOCUMENT.

CAMERA PLEASE.

FROM THE, FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND WE'RE GONNA PUT THE, YOUR DOCUMENT CAMERA SO WE CAN SEE WHERE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS IN RELATIONSHIP.

I DID SEND, UH, AN EMAIL TOO, IF YOU HAVE .

SO I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT THIS IS A SMALL COMMUNITY AND I HAVE BEEN ABLE, BECAUSE IT'S BEEN A SHORT TIME, I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COLLECT 130 SIGNATURES

[00:45:01]

THOSE, SO ALL THE JAN, ALL THE N JAN STREET IS VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE WE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE GONNA BE HEAVILY IMPACTED.

AND THE OTHER ONES ALSO, BECAUSE ALL THE TRAFFIC IS GONNA RUN THROUGH THAT, I THINK WE'RE HAVING SOME ISSUES.

TROUBLE GETTING YOUR THING UP.

CAN, WHEN THAT AERIAL, CAN YOU PUT THE AERIAL ON AND THEN JUST, CAN YOU SHOW US WHERE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS? IS IT SOUTH OF THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT? UM, SO LET ME SEE IF I CAN SHOW YOU FROM HERE.

SO, OKAY, THERE WE GO.

THERE, THERE WE GO.

OKAY, LET ME JUST SHOW YOU.

SO JANAC IS THE BLUE ONE.

JANAC IS THE BLUE ONE, AND THE YELLOW.HERE IS THE ACTUALLY JACKLINE STREET THAT HAS EXIT TO JACKLINE TO LONG POINT.

SO THEY WANT TO CLOSE THAT AND THEY GET ALL THE TRAFFIC TO THE BLUE LINE.

THE BLUE LINE IS ALREADY JAMMED WITH TRAFFIC.

WE DON'T HAVE SIDEWALKS AND IT'S THE, THE COMMUNITY IS WALKING WITH THE TRAFFIC.

SO LET, LET ME GO AHEAD AND CALL THE OTHER SPEAKER.

SO WE CAN GET EVERYBODY IN.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND IS JAMES HINTS ALSO HERE? THANK YOU.

MY NAME IS JAMES HINS.

I'M MARIA'S HUSBAND.

UM, JUST TO REITERATE, THE PROBLEM WITH THE, THIS DEVELOPMENT IS THE DENSITY OF HOW MANY, UH, HOUSES ARE GONNA BE IN THIS, IN THIS SMALL AREA.

IF YOU COMPARE THE NUMBER OF HOUSES THAT ARE IN THE ADJACENT SAME, UM, DIMENSIONS OR LOTS, THERE'S APPROXIMATELY ROOM FOR ABOUT 12 HOMES, IF YOU WOULD ADD THAT IN.

AND BUILDING ANOTHER ADDITIONAL 23 WITH THAT TRAFFIC AND PUSHING THAT ONTO JANET IS JUST NOT GONNA BE UNTENABLE.

UH, WE'RE NOT, AGAIN, WE'RE NOT OPPOSED TO THE DEVELOPMENT, BUT THAT NEEDS TO BE REDESIGNED.

AND THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN BUILDING HOUSES IN THAT AREA, IF THEY PUT THAT KIND OF DEVELOPMENT, IT'S GONNA IMPACT OUR, OUR VALUES IN A NEGATIVE WAY, IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY CONCERNS.

AND ONE OF THE OTHER ISSUES DURING HARVEY, WHEN IT FLOODED THAT INTERSECTION BETWEEN JANET AND UH JACQUELINE, THE WATER WAS ALMOST WAIST DEEP AT THAT, AT, AT THAT INTERSECTION.

AND IF YOU TAKE THAT GREEN AREA AWAY AND MAKE IMP COMPARABLE SURFACES, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE MORE RUNOFF WATER.

WE DON'T HAVE PROBLEMS ALREADY.

IT'S JUST GONNA MAKE IT EVEN WORSE.

SO AGAIN, WITH THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD SIGNING UP AGAINST THIS, UH, THE LAST THING IS WE'RE NOT AGAINST DEVELOPMENT.

IT JUST GOTTA BE, IT'S GOTTA MAKE SENSE FOR EVERYBODY THAT ACTUALLY LIVES THERE.

YEP.

UH, I JUST NOTICED THAT COUNCIL MEMBER PECK IS HERE.

DID YOU WISH TO SPEAK? WE'LL CALL YOU OUT OF ORDER.

MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

I'M HERE TODAY ON THIS ITEM JUST TO ASK FOR IT TO BE DEFERRED.

I'D LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO, UM, MEET WITH THE DEVELOPER AS WELL AS THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE WORKED OUT THAT MIGHT BE BETTER TRAFFIC WISE AND, UM, DRAINAGE WISE AND ALL OF THAT.

SO JUST LIKE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT THE CONSTITUENTS AND, UM, MOVE TOGETHER IN A POSITIVE MANNER ON THIS.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP ON IT.

THEY WANT TO BUILD A STREET AND A LOT OF HOME IN THE BACK WITH A DIFFERENT ACCESS, AS MARIA WAS SAYING.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR COUNCIL MEMBER PECK? THANK YOU.

THANKS.

OKAY, SO WE'LL MOVE ON THE LIST HERE AND, UM, I THINK IS, UH, THEORY DEQUIN HERE.

HELLO COMMISSIONER.

SO I'M THI DECAN, D-E-Q-U-I-N, AND I'M LIVING RIGHT NEAR THE DEVELOPMENT ON 76 0 8.

UH, I SENT AS A ATTACHMENT, UH, LETTER, WHICH WE DRAFT WITH A NEIGHBORS.

WE, YOU HEAR A FEW, UM, I THINK A FEW YEARS BACK WE HAD A DIFFERENT, UH, DEVELOPMENT FOR HOME WITH TWO PARKING LOT INSIDE.

AND I CAME HERE AT THAT TIME, I'M TRYING TO SAY, WELL, WE MAY HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL CAR IN THE, IN THE STREET, AND IT DOES HAPPEN.

WE HAVE TODAY WE HAD FIVE CARS.

UH, NOT ONLY THE FORD DEVELOPMENT, BUT IT SHOWS, UH, LIMITED SPACE, SHARED PARKING WITH A HOME WE BUILT TODAY OF, YOU KNOW, 20, 2000 OR 2,500 SQUARE FEET.

WE HAVE MANY PEOPLE, WE HAVE MANY CARS.

SO I'M VERY ANXIOUS ON HOW MANY COW WILL BE IN THE STREET WITH THIS ONE EXIT, ONE ENTRANCE.

UH, PEOPLE WILL WANT TO PARK RIGHT THERE HOW IT AFFECT, YOU KNOW, UH, FIRETRUCK TRAFFIC, EMERGENCY VEHICLE.

WE, WE, THERE, THERE IS SOMETHING TO LOOK AT VERY SERIOUSLY.

THE OTHER ASPECT IS, UH, SO DEVELOPMENT.

A LOT OF THE OTHER HOMES, THEY, THEY TAKE A LOT.

THEY, YOU KNOW, DIVIDE IN TWO OR THREE, BUILD THREE HOMES, THAT THAT'S THE WAY IT GOES.

THAT'S FINE.

AND ALL THE HOMES, THEY HAVE A DOUBLE CAR PARKING.

THEY HAVE USUALLY TWO SPOTS AND IT'S, IT'S KIND OF OKAY.

BUT THIS ONE,

[00:50:01]

SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE, YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME, BUT GOOD.

THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US TODAY.

UM, OKAY.

UH, DIDIER BIDELL.

MR. BIDELL, I HOPE I PRONOUNCE THAT RIGHT.

ARMCHAIR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF COM UH, COMMISSION.

THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME TODAY.

WE HAVE TO ZOOM OUT THIS MORNING.

WHEN I LEFT MY HOUSE AND I DROVE TO ANTOINE DRIVE, I SAW SIX PEOPLE WALKING ON THE STREET, INCLUDING THREE CHILDREN.

SO LET'S ZOOM OUT.

THERE ARE ALSO DEVELOPMENTS NORTH OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.

WE ARE NOT TALKING ONLY OF 23 HOUSES AND 46 CARS ADDED TO THIS AREA.

WE HAVE TO SEE THE WHOLE DEVELOPMENT AROUND THAT AS WELL.

THIS WILL INCREASE IF WE TAKE THESE DEVELOPMENTS ONE BY ONE.

WE DON'T SEE THE HEAT UP, BUT IF WE TAKE THE WHOLE AREA, WE'RE GONNA SEE THAT IT IS GOING TO BE CONGESTED VERY QUICKLY AND INCREASE THE RISKS VERY QUICKLY.

THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TODAY.

THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO DEFER THIS ITEM FOR FURTHER REVIEW.

UM, AND I THINK, OKAY, DEBBIE HAMILTON, ROLL HERE.

HI, MY NAME IS DEBBIE HAMILTON.

I LIVE AT 1530 WOODVINE DRIVE.

WE ARE ABOUT A COUPLE OF BLOCKS SOUTH OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

UM, AND THERE ARE MANY REASONS THAT WE ARE AGAINST THIS, UH, STRONGLY.

I WANNA SPEAK ABOUT THE FLOODING POTENTIAL.

UM, WE DID NOT HAVE ANY FLOODING, UH, IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, IN OUR AREA DURING HARVEY.

UM, THERE WAS OBVIOUSLY WATER BUILDUP, BUT IT FLOWED.

WE NOW HAVE A HUGE WATER PROBLEM CURRENTLY AT, UH, MY ADDRESS OF THE CORNER OF, UH, FLOWERDALE AND WOODVINE THAT WAS CREATED BY THE CITY.

UM, THAT DUG A DITCH THAT WAS TOO DEEP.

AND NOW WE HAVE STANDING WATER FOR THREE FEET, THREE FEET OF STANDING WATER.

UM, ONLY SINCE IT'S BEEN TEMPERATURES OF A HUNDRED DEGREES OR MORE HAS THE WATER SUBSIDED BECAUSE IT'S EVAPORATED.

BUT FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS, WE HAD THREE FEET OF STANDING WATER.

IF WE HAVE THAT.

NOW WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT IS PROPOSED, UM, WITH THE BEAUTIFUL TREES, THE LOT IS FULL OF BEAUTIFUL TREES.

AND WITH THOSE TREES, UH, BULLDOZED DOWN MORE CONCRETE, UH, AS A RESULT, THE FLOODING IS GOING TO, UH, WORSEN.

AND THAT'S JUST ONE OF THE MANY PROBLEMS THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THIS POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.

UM, WE HAVE, WE HAVE TRIED TO GET, UH, OUR ISSUES ADDRESSED BY THE CITY.

UM, AND THEY SEEM TO THINK THAT THREE FEET OF STANDING WATER IS AN ACCEPTABLE HEIGHT.

UM, WE WOULD ARGUE WITH THAT, BUT TO, TO, UM, ADD INSULT TO INJURY AND, UM, HAVE THIS DEVELOPMENT, UM, THAT'S JUST IN OUR FRONT YARD BASICALLY, UM, IS, IS TRULY UNTHINKABLE.

SO WE WOULD ASK YOU TO KINDLY RECONSIDER THE APPROVAL OF THIS.

THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SPEAK.

I LIVE, UH, VERY CLOSE TO THIS DEVELOPMENT.

UH, I LIVE ON JACQUELINE, WHICH IS JUST ABOUT THREE BLOCKS FROM THE DEVELOPMENT.

LIKE OTHER GENTLEMEN AND LADIES HAVE MENTIONED ON THIS STREET GEN OAK STREET.

IT'S OUR WALKING AREA.

WE WALK ON THAT STREET DURING HARVEY, THAT USED TO BE OUR WALKING.

THERE ARE NO CURBS.

SO WE SEE PEOPLE WALKING AT THE SAME TIME.

CHILDREN PLAYING WITH ALL THESE, UH, THIS MA MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT OF 23 HOMES.

SO YOU CAN IMAGINE 23 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.

THEY WILL HAVE, EACH ONE WILL HAVE TWO CARS.

SO THAT'S 46 CARS.

PLUS THEY, I HEARD THAT THEY ARE ALLOWING ONLY THREE SPOTS FOR VISITORS.

SO WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO PARK WHEN THE VISITORS COME, WHERE ARE, WHERE WILL THEY PARK? THEY'RE GOING TO PARK ON THE STREETS.

THE, THE, UH, TRAFFIC IS GOING TO BE IMMENSE.

IT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY TROUBLESOME, WE ALREADY SEE A LOT OF TRAFFIC IN THAT AREA, AND THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE HAVOC OVER THERE.

SO WE REALLY NEED TO CONSIDER ABOUT THIS EXIT AND ENTRANCE ON JAN WHEN THEY HAVE A CHOICE OF MAKING THE ACCIDENT ENTRANCE ON JACQUELINE.

WHY ARE THEY DOING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BEAUTIFUL HOMES? SO THIS NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED TIME.

HEY, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

AND I, I WILL REMIND EVERYBODY THAT

[00:55:01]

YOU ALL ARE WELCOME TO COME BACK IN TWO WEEKS IF, IF WE DEFER IT, WHICH I THINK WE PROBABLY WILL.

BUT, UM, THAT'S THE RECOMMENDATION AT THIS TIME.

AND THEN I THINK ANOTHER IS, IS IT MELANIE? JULIE.

UM, FIRST WE'D LIKE TO SEE THEM MODIFY THE PLA TO HAVE AN AVERAGE LOT SIZE PER SINGLE FAMILY TO MATCH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

UM, WE'D ALSO LIKE TO SEE THEM REDRAW THE ENTRANCE OR KEEP THE ENTRANCE THAT'S ON JACQUELINE RIGHT NOW.

JUST SET FOR JANET, WHICH IS, IT'S A STREET IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREET.

IT'S, UM, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

IF YOU CAN, IF YOU COULD SEE IT, THIS WOULD KEEP THE HISTORIC TRAFFIC FLOW CONSIDERED, UH, TWO ENTRANCES AND EXITS WOULD BE HELPFUL.

UM, ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE TRAFFIC THERE ON JAN THIRD, THEY'D LIKE TO PROVIDE, UH, EITHER LESS HOME OR ADDITIONAL PARKING FOR THE VISITORS THAT ARE THERE IN THAT, IN THAT NEW COMPLEX.

UM, INSIDE THAT COMMUNITY.

THESE ARE BASED ON CITY RULES, BUT ALSO BASED ON WHAT IS OBSERVED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

UM, OTHERWISE JANET DRIVE'S GONNA BE A MESS.

AND ALSO WE WOULD LIKE TO HELP HAVE THIS CHANGE TO PRESERVE SOME OF OUR TREES.

AND ALSO WHAT THEY TALKED ABOUT EARLIER FOR FLOODING.

IT'S, IT'S A MESS WITH WHAT'S PROPOSED AT THE MOMENT AND WE, WE APPRECIATE THAT YOU'RE GONNA LOOK AT IT.

THANKS.

THAT IS EVERYBODY I HAVE LISTED, UM, WHO IS SUPPOSEDLY IN THE ROOM AT THE MOMENT.

IS THERE ANYBODY WHO'S HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM WHO'S SITTING HERE? OKAY.

COME FORWARD.

I'M GONNA CALL THE VIRTUAL SPEAKERS AFTER.

STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

MY NAME'S CODY EDGEWORTH.

I LIVE ON JAN.

I'LL REITERATE EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN SAID AND IT'S A SAFETY CONCERN.

APPRECIATE YOUR BREVITY.

UM, OKAY, WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND CALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WITH US VIRTUALLY TIM TOLL, T-O-A-L-E, MR. TOLL.

HI, GOOD AFTERNOON.

UH, A LOT OF THE SAME CONCERNS.

UM, I'VE OWNED A PROPERTY AT 76 0 4 JAN DIRECTLY TO THE REPL SINCE 2007.

I'M ALSO A TEXAS LICENSED PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER IN A CIVIL ENGINEERING CAPACITY FOR THE LAST 22 YEARS.

STRONGLY OPPOSED TO THE REPL, UM, THE IMPERVIOUS AREA CONCRETE, I FEEL THERE'S MUCH GREATER RISK OF LOCALIZED FLOODING IF THIS IS APPROVED.

MY NEIGHBORS AND I ALREADY EXPERIENCED, UH, TEMPORARY FLOODING IN OUR YARDS AND STREETS DURING HEAVY RAIN EVENTS.

UH, WITH THIS AMOUNT OF CONCRETE, IT'S ONLY GONNA GET WORSE.

IT'S ONLY GOTTEN WORSE SINCE MORE HOMES HAVE COME INTO THE AREA.

UH, PARTICULARLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LOWER LYING OLDER RESIDENCES THAT AREN'T SET UP AS HIGH AS AS MY PROPERTY.

UM, AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE, THE REMOVAL OF THE DOZENS OF MATURE TREES, SOME AS WHICH ARE AS 120 FEET TALL.

SECONDLY, UH, THE TRAFFIC CONCERN.

WE'VE ALREADY GOT A PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY ON GARBAGE DAYS.

UH, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN IMAGINE THE STREET WITH GARBAGE AND RECYCLING BINS, PEDESTRIANS, NO SIDEWALKS.

SO IT ALMOST TURNS INTO ONE LANE STREET EVERY FRIDAY.

AND IF YOU CAN EVEN GET THE RECYCLING PICKED UP ON FRIDAY, SO IT USUALLY COMES SATURDAY.

SO THAT'S TWO DAYS WHERE WE'VE GOT BINS IN THE ROAD, UM, THAT IT EFFECTIVELY MAKES IT A ONE WAY STREET WHERE YOU HAVE TO MANEUVER AROUND CARS AND GARBAGE CANS AND PEDESTRIANS.

UH, THIS WOULD BE BETTER IF THERE WERE SIDEWALKS.

THERE'S NOT SIDEWALKS, UM, CONCERNED ABOUT THE SIX VISITOR SPOTS.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S ENOUGH.

'CAUSE ALL THAT TRAFFIC, THE VISITORS ARE GONNA PARK ON JAN DRIVE.

THIRDLY, THE DENSITY OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS LARGELY INCONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING LOT SIZES ALONG THE STREET, WHICH WOULD LEAD TO A SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE EXISTING HOME VALUES FOR OTHERS IN THIS AREA.

UH, DUE TO THE PROPOSED MUCH LOWER AVERAGE LOT SIZE AS LOW AS 1,627 SQUARE FEET ACCORDING TO DRAWING AND MUCH SMALLER HOMES, LONGTIME RESIDENTS WILL SEE THEIR HOME VALUES DECREASE DRAMATICALLY.

UH, I THINK THERE'S SOME COMPROMISES.

ONE WOULD BE DECREASE THE NUMBER OF LOTS IN THE, IN THE PROPOSED REPL, EVEN IF IT DOES MEET CHAPTER 42 EXPECTATIONS.

IN MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION, MINIMUM LOT SIZE SHOULD BE AROUND 5,000 SQUARE FEET OR HIGHER.

UM, IT'LL IMPROVE WATER RUNOFF CHARACTERISTICS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MATURE TREES THAT NEED TO BE DESTROYED.

MAINTAIN NEIGHBORHOOD DENSITY CHARACTERISTICS AND IT'LL HELP THE LIMITED PARKING.

UH, LIKE OTHERS HAVE SAID, I THINK IT MAKES MORE SENSE TO MOVE THE ENTRANCE TO JACQUELINE DRIVE WHERE IT CURRENTLY IS AND NOT HAVE THAT, THAT ENTRANCE ON JAN DRIVE.

UM, REGARDLESS IF IT'S APPROVED OR NOT, OR DEFERRED.

UM, I THINK THAT THE DRAWING NEEDS TO BE UPDATED 'CAUSE I NOTICED SEVERAL ERRORS ON IT, WHICH I'D BE HAPPY TO EXPAND LATER.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

HOUSE OR YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO PARK IT ON THE STREET.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR, UH, BEING WITH US TODAY.

UM, THE NEXT SPEAKER IS PEDRO BOYEL.

B-O-I-T-E-L? YES, MA'AM.

JUST ELABORATE WHAT MY NEIGHBORS WERE SAYING.

A HUNDRED PERCENT.

BACK THEM UP.

I THINK ANOTHER CHALLENGE THAT WE SEE WITH THIS, THIS, UM, FOR, UM, CLOTTING IS NONE OF THESE HOUSES ARE GONNA HAVE DRIVEWAYS.

SO EITHER YOU PARK YOUR CAR INSIDE THE

[01:00:01]

I WOULD SAY ONE THIRD OF THE, ONE THIRD OF THE COMMUNITY HAS THE LARGEST SUV OR TRUCK.

I DOUBT THAT MOST OF THESE CARS ARE GONNA BE ABLE TO FIT IN THESE DRIVE IN THESE GARAGES COMPARED TO HOW SMALL AND TIGHT THESE, UH, LOT SIZES ARE GONNA BE.

SO IT'S GONNA GUARANTEE CARS BEING PARKED ON THE STREET.

THERE WON'T BE ANY STREET, THERE WON'T BE ANY PARKING AVAILABLE INSIDE THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY ITSELF WILL BE FACING ONE ANOTHER WITH A HOME.

SO AS MY NEIGHBORS REITERATED, THE THE FLOODING ISSUE, THE PARKING ISSUE, THE ENTRANCE ISSUE, AS YOU CAN SEE, 130 NEIGHBORS ARE PROTESTING AND POSING THIS ISSUE.

IT, IT SEEMS TO BE, IT'S A, A MAJOR CONCERN FOR THE COMMUNITY ITSELF.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TODAY.

UM, THE NEXT SPEAKER IS, UH, DAVID BIXBY, B-I-X-B-Y.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

THANK YOU MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

UH, I PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED SOME WRITTEN COMMENTS, WHICH YOU CAN SEE, AND BASED ON ALL THE COMMENTS OF MY NEIGHBORS, I'LL BE BRIEF.

I LIVE DIRECTLY SOUTH ACROSS JANET DRIVE FROM THE PROPOSED ENTRANCE TO THESE 23 LOTS THIS MORNING.

WHEN I LEFT MY HOME AT ABOUT EIGHT O'CLOCK, THERE WERE FIVE OR SIX CARS ON THE ROAD.

AND, UH, AS ONE OF THE PREVIOUS SPEAKERS SAID, WHEN GARBAGE BINS AND RECYCLING BINS ARE ON THE STREET, IT'S VIRTUALLY A ONE-WAY STREET, UH, WHICH IT ACTUALLY WAS TODAY WITHOUT ANY GARBAGE BINS.

SO MY PRIMARY OPPOSITION IS FOR THE SAFETY REASONS, UH, DUMPING, UH, 23 LOTS VEHICLES IN AND OUT OF, UH, THE MIDDLE OF A RESIDENTIAL BLOCK, UH, WILL POSE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD.

SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO DEVELOPMENT AND WE'RE NOT.

MANY OF US HAVE BEEN, UM, RECIPIENTS, BENEFICIARIES OF REDEVELOPMENT PROCESSES.

UH, BUT THIS SEEMS VERY INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND WE WOULD URGE THE, UH, DEVELOPER TO RECONSIDER USING THE EXISTING JANET DRIVE ENTRANCE OR, OR JACQUELINE DRIVE ENTRANCE FOR THE LARGER PART OF THE PLAT.

DOCUMENT CAMERA PLEASE.

I'M SORRY, DID YOU SAY SOMETHING? DOCUMENT CAMERA, PLEASE? NO.

AND OH, OKAY.

I CAN'T, NO, NO.

I HAVE TO, I HAVE TO GO ON AND CALL THE OTHER SPEAKERS.

SO WHAT IS THIS DRAWING? THESE IMAGES WERE BROUGHT UP BY WHILE THE SPEAKER WAS SPEAKING AND SO, UH, WE CALLED FOR THE DOCUMENT CAMERA SINCE, AS WE CAN, WE TEXTED EARLIER, BUT WE ALSO CALLED FOR IT SINCE I THINK SINCE WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION TO DEFER.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND PROVIDE THIS TO THE COMMISSION WITH A BACKUP FOR, FOR NEXT TIME.

YES, MA'AM.

AND THEN YOU CAN SPEAK AND EXPLAIN IT AT THE NEXT, AT THE NEXT HEARING.

THE, UH, I STILL HAVE, UH, SPEAKER CHARLES.

IS IT DECOR? WHO IS GOOD AFTERNOON, MAN.

YEAH.

I AM CHARLES .

I AM, UH, A NEIGHBOR IN JANAK DRIVE.

AND WHILE ALL THE CONCERN HAVE BEEN ALREADY EXPRESSED, I JUST WANT TO, TO REMIND SOME, SOME FIGURES.

UH, THIS PROJECT WOULD INCREASE THE TRAFFIC BY 163% IN JANAK DRIVE.

IT WOULD INCREASE THE NUMBER OF HOUSE AND THE DENSITY BY 120%.

UM, MORE THAN 130 NEIGHBOR HAVE EXPRESSED THEIR DISAGREEMENT ON THIS PROJECT.

WE HAVE ALREADY SENT A LETTER OF MORE THAN EIGHT PAGES TO SHOW HOW INCONVENIENT IS THIS PROJECT.

SO WE REALLY DEEPLY ASK YOU TO, UH, RECONSIDER THE APPROVAL OF THIS PROJECT, UM, MODIFY THE ENTRANCE OF THIS AREA AND OF THIS PROJECT, AND ALSO PROPOSE A REASONABLE DENSITY OF HOUSE FOR, FOR THIS PROJECT.

THANK YOU, MADAM.

UM, I DO NOT HAVE ANYONE ELSE WHO IS SIGNED TO SPEAK.

IS THERE ANYONE LISTENING WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON MELODY OAKS? ITEM 1 44.

DO WE HAVE PEOPLE IN THE CHAT? YES.

MADAM CHAIR.

WE HAVE A STEVE KNAPP, K-N-A-P-P SIGNED UP.

PART OF JANET AND, AND SOME OF THE SURROUNDING, UH, STREETS IS REALLY KIND OF WHAT WE ALL LOVE ABOUT HOUSTON.

STEVE KNAPP.

UH, YES, THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND, UH, COMMISSIONER AND INVITED GUESTS AND INCLUDING COUNCILWOMAN PECK.

I, I CAN AGREE WHAT MY NEIGHBORS HAVE SAID.

I, I'VE BEEN LIVING ON AT 7, 7 1 5, JANET SINCE 2013 AND, AND WAS IN ONE OF THE ORIGINAL LOTS THAT WAS SUB GLADED INTO TWO LOTS.

AND WE'VE ACTUALLY SEEN OVER THE LAST NINE YEARS I'VE LIVED THERE, THE WONDERFUL TRANSFORMATION OF, OF AN OLDER NEIGHBORHOOD INTO A NEW VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOOD WITH A LOT OF YOUNG FAMILIES, STROLLERS, KIDS, UH, PEOPLE RIDING BIKES IN BOTH THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON.

AND SO THIS

[01:05:01]

BUT AT A CERTAIN POINT, I THINK WE HAVE TO SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

AND, AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S IN THE, IN THE COMMITTEE'S CAPACITY, BUT DEFERRING IT BY ANOTHER TWO WEEKS AND, AND ASKING ALL THESE BUSY FOLKS TO COME BACK AND DO THE SAME THING.

WE'VE DONE QUITE IN A QUITE BIG, UH, EXUBERANT AMOUNT, INCLUDING COUNCILWOMAN PECK.

I WOULD SUGGEST THAT RATHER THAN DEFER, WE, UH, DENY THE REQUEST AND HAVE THE, THE, THE FOLKS WHO ARE PLANNING TO DO IT COME BACK WITH SOME NEW IDEAS BECAUSE, UH, THE ONLY OTHER ITEM THAT O OTHER PEOPLE DIDN'T MENTION THAT I THINK IS AN ISSUE WOULD BE POTENTIAL SEWER.

I KNOW ON JAN THERE IS A MAIN SEWER LINE, BUT THERE'S LIMITED ACCESS TO THAT SEWER LINE FOR A LOT OF THESE SUBDIVIDED PLATS.

AND SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO PUT, UH, 21 HOMES INTO THAT SINGLE LINE, THAT MAY BE ON JAN AND JACQUELINE, THAT'S GONNA BE A LOT OF, OF STRESS ON THE SEWER LINE.

SO I GUESS MY, MY REQUEST AND, AND IF POSSIBLE WOULD BE THAT WE, RATHER THAN DEFER, WE GO AHEAD AND JUST MAKE A STRONGER ACTION AT, WITH ALL THIS PARTICIPATION YOU'VE SEEN TODAY.

TIME.

HEY, THANK YOU.

DO WE HAVE ANOTHER SPEAKER? YES, MA'AM.

I'M CHAIR, UH, HE E-H-I-E-P ASSIGNED UP TO SPEAK IN THE CHAT.

GOOD.

A OH, GO AHEAD.

WHAT? GOOD AFTERNOON.

MY NAME, IS THAT YOUR LAST NAME? HEAP.

MY LAST NAME IS DO DO.

OKAY, GO RIGHT AHEAD.

MR. DO? YES.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

I'VE BEEN LIVED THERE SINCE THE, UH, NEW HOME BILL, UH, APPROXIMATELY 14 YEARS AGO.

MY FAMILY, MY KID EVEN, WE CAN GO NOW AND WALK AND RIDE A BIKE.

WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO KID, UH, LOOKING FOR A CAR.

SO NOW THE KID NOT EVEN COME OUT THE STREET BECAUSE THE CAR, TOO MUCH TRAFFIC GOING THERE AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IT BECAME LIKE A COMMERCIAL AREA, CAR GO IN AND OUT.

IT TOO MANY CAR.

WE CAN'T GO THROUGH THERE AT ALL.

RIGHT NOW.

I LIVE RIGHT ADJACENT FROM THAT, UH, BUILDER THEY PROJECTED.

SO I JUST WANNA KNOW IF YOU CAN RECONSIDER THAT INFORMATION, THAT TOO MANY HOMES COMING OUT ON CHANNEL DRIVE, LOOKING INTO THE, UH, THE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD, LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY, NOT THE DEVELOPING COMMUNITY OUT THERE.

TOO MANY DEVELOPING, UH, BUILD TOO MANY HOME IN THERE.

UH, THAT'S ALL I GOT.

DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ELSE FINAL CALL WHO'S LISTENING? WHO WANTS TO SPEAK THIS WEEK ON ITEM 1 44? OKAY.

COMMISSION.

UM, STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO DEFER.

QUARTET DEVELOPMENT 1 65.

NOW WE'RE ON

[01:45:01]

GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

MY NAME IS TAMMY WILLIAMSON.

ITEM 1 65 IS QUARTET DEVELOPMENT.

THE SITE IS LOCATED IN HOUSTON'S ETJ IN HARRIS COUNTY BETWEEN JONES ROAD AND NORTH ELRIDGE PARKWAY AND BETWEEN CYPRESS NORTH HOUSTON ROAD AND GRANT ROAD.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A COMMERCIAL RESERVE AND IS REQUESTING A VARIANCE FOR THE RESERVE TO NOT HAVE FRONTAGE AND ACCESS FROM A 60 FOOT PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY, BUT INSTEAD FROM A 60 FOOT INGRESS, EGRESS EASEMENT STAFF REQUESTS THIS APPLICATION BE DEFERRED PER APPLICANT'S REQUEST AS THIS WILL BE ITS SECOND DEFERRAL.

STAFF WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A BRIEF PRESENTATION.

THE SITE'S ONLY ACCESS TO A PUBLIC STUB STREET.

SAT H DRIVE IS THROUGH A 60 FOOT INGRESS EGRESS EASEMENT.

THE TRACKS IN THIS AREA WERE SUBDIVIDED THROUGH THE SAT HOF STATE IN 2020 INCLUDING THE SUBJECT TRACT STAFF IN CONSTRUCTION WITH HARRIS COUNTY ENGINEERING IS REQUESTING A GENERAL PLAN BE SUBMITTED FOR THESE TRACKS OF COMMON OWNERSHIP.

THE GENERAL PLAN WILL HELP IN DETERMINING THESE TRACKS FUTURE ACCESS AND DRAINAGE NEEDS.

THEREFORE STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS PLAT BE DEFERRED FOR TWO WEEKS PER APPLICANT'S REQUEST TO ALLOW THE APPLICANT TIME TO SUBMIT A GENERAL PLAN FOR ALL OF THE AREA UNDER COMMON OWNERSHIP AND TO CONTINUE TO COORDINATE WITH HARRIS COUNTY ENGINEERING FOR DRAINAGE CONCERNS.

STAFF HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY ADVANCED PUBLIC COMMENT AND THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

QUESTIONS FOR MS. WILLIAMSON? UH, DO WE HAVE ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SPEAK ON 1 65? IF NOT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO DEFER.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? IS THERE A MOTION TO DEFER BALDWIN? IS THERE A SECOND? ALLMAN? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ITEM 1 66, ITEM 1 66 IS TRUSS WIG BUSINESS PARK GP.

THE SITE IS LOCATED IN HOUSTON'S ETJ IN NORTH HARRIS COUNTY ALONG TREWICK ROAD NORTHEAST OF BURNHAM WOOD BOULEVARD AND SOUTHWEST OF CYPRESSWOOD DRIVE.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO EXCEED INTERSECTION SPACING BY NOT EXTENDING NOR TERMINATING IN A CUL-DE-SAC LUDGATE DRIVE STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THE REQUEST.

TRESS BUSINESS PARK GP IS AN 11 ACRE GENERAL PLAN INTENDED TO BE USED FOR OFFICE WAREHOUSE SPACE.

LUD LEAD GATES DRIVE STU STREET WAS DEDICATED IN THE FAIRFAX SECTION ONE SUBDIVISION AS ONE OF TWO PLATTED SUBS STREETS BETWEEN BURNHAM WOOD AND OO.

STRICT INTERPRETATION OF THE ORDINANCE WOULD REQUIRE LEAD GATE DRIVE TO BE EXTENDED OR AT LEAST TERMINATED IN A CUL-DE-SAC BY NOT MEANING TWO OF THE FIVE STIPULATIONS.

THE STUBB STREET IS NOT ONE LOT IN DEPTH AS THE PROPERTY TO THE EAST IS A PLATTERED RESERVE OWNED BY SPRING ISD AND THE EXTENSION OF THE STUBB STREET IS NEEDED FOR INTERSECTION SPACING.

THE INTERSECTION SPACING ALONG TREWICK ROAD BETWEEN BURNHAM WOOD BOULEVARD AND VANCOUVER DRIVE IS APPROXIMATELY 2,740 FEET.

STAFF FINDS THAT THE REQUEST NOT TO EXTEND NOR TERMINATE IN A CUL SAC MEETS THE INTENT OF THE ORDINANCE AS THE STUBB STREET IS ONE LOT IN DEPTH ON THE WESTERN SIDE, UM, AND THE EASTERN SIDE.

THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ON THE EAST DOES NOT TAKE ACCESS FROM LU GATE DRIVE.

ALSO, THE CURRENT INTERSECTION SPACING ALONG THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARE TREWICK DRIVE IS A 5% DEVIATION FROM THE STANDARD OF MAXIMUM INTERSECTION SPACING, WHICH IS NOT DISPROPORTIONATE.

ONE OF THE REASONS FOR DEFERRING THIS APPLICATION LAST MEETING WAS TO DETERMINE IF THE PROPERTY AS PROPOSED WOULD REQUIRE A SECOND POINT OF ACCESS, WHICH THIS DOES NOT, WHICH ALSO CONTRIBUTES TO STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION.

HARRIS COUNTY ENGINEERING HAS NO OBJECTION TO THE REQUEST, THEREFORE STAFF RECOMMENDS TO GRANT THE REQUESTED VARIANCE AND TO APPROVE THE GENERAL PLAN SUBJECT TO CBC 1 0 1 FORM CONDITIONS.

STAFF HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY ADVANCED PUBLIC COMMENT AND THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

QUESTIONS FOR MS. WILLIAMSON? UM, DO WE HAVE ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SPEAK ON ITEM 1 66? NO.

UM, STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS BEFORE YOU ON THE SCREEN, IF THERE'S NO DISCUSSION, IS THERE A MOTION FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION MOTION CLARK.

CLARK.

IS THERE A SECOND? A ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ITEM 1 67 MADAM CHAIR, I'M GONNA RECUSE FROM THIS ITEM.

PLEASE NOTE THAT COMMISSIONER, HE WILL BE ABSTAINING ON THIS ITEM.

AND THEN THIS IS COMMISSIONER DALTON.

I'LL ALSO BE ABSTAINING.

AND COMMISSIONER DALTON WILL ALSO ABSTAIN.

ITEM 1 67 IS URBANA SPRING GP.

THE SITE IS LOCATED IN HOUSTON'S ETGA AND NORTH HARRIS COUNTY NORTH

[01:50:01]

AND ALONG FM 29 20.

BETWEEN FLA ROAD AND HOLSWORTH DRIVE, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO EXCEED INTERSECTION SPACING BY NOT EXTENDING LONG CASTLE DRIVE AND NOT EXTENDING NOR TERMINATE IN A CUL-DE-SAC HANOVER WAY.

SO TWO STUB STREETS STAFF REQUESTS THIS ITEM BE DEFERRED FOR TWO WEEKS TO ALLOW FURTHER COORDINATION WITH THE APPLICANT AND THEIR DEVELOPER ABOUT POTENTIALLY EXTENDING HANOVER WAY.

STUBB STREET STAFF HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY ADVANCED PUBLIC COMMENTS AND THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

UH, QUESTIONS FOR, UH, MS. WILLIAMSON? UM, DO WE HAVE ANYBODY SIGNED UP? ANYBODY WANNA SPEAK ON URBANA SPRING GP? IF NOT, STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO DEFER IF THERE'S NO DISCUSSION, IS THERE A MOTION TO DEFER MAD? IS THERE A SECOND? ROBINS? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

COMMISSIONER CLARK, IF YOU WOULD GRANT ME JUST A SECOND.

I KNOW EVERYBODY GETS SICK OF HEARING FROM ME ON THIS, BUT NOW THAT WE HAVE INCREASED OUR TIME FOR NOTIFICATIONS, WE HAVE ALSO INCREASED OUR DEFERRALS.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE DEFERRALS FOR PUBLIC NOTICES, 40% OF THEM WERE DEFERRED.

IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT WE DEFERRED FOR, UM, VARIANCES, 75% WERE DEFERRED.

I KNOW THERE ARE REASONS, I KNOW SOMETIMES THERE ARE THINGS THAT CAN'T BE HELPED AND I KNOW SOMETIMES STAFF TIME IS LIMITED, BUT I'M JUST GONNA REQUEST AGAIN IF THERE IS ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO TRY TO MOVE THESE THINGS FORWARD IN A TIMELY MANNER BECAUSE WE'VE PUT MORE DAYS ON PEOPLE AND WE'RE TAKING DAYS FROM THEM.

AND I KNOW IT SEEMS, YOU KNOW, TWO WEEKS PEOPLE DON'T THINK TWO WEEKS IS MUCH, BUT WHEN YOU OWN PROPERTY AND YOU'RE TRYING TO DEVELOP, YOU COULD BE PAYING ANYWHERE FROM 2000 TO 10 TO TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS EVERY DAY FOR INTEREST.

AND INTEREST RATES ARE ON THE RISE.

SO EVERY DAY, AND I KNOW YOU GET SICK OF HEARING THIS FROM ME, EVERY DAY IS MONEY.

AND SO I JUST ASK PLEASE IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN DO.

DEED RESTRICTIONS SEEM TO BE REALLY HOLDING US UP.

UM, SO I'M ASKING THE CITY TO LOOK AT STAFFING AND SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING WE CAN DO TO HELP THAT OUT.

'CAUSE YOUR POINTS ARE WELL TAKEN.

APPRECIATE, AND WE HAD APPRECIATE THAT.

I KNOW YOU DID DISCUSS, SORRY I MISSED IT.

DATE RESTRICTIONS EARLIER, BUT I THINK WE, WE HAVE SOME OTHER WORK TO DO AS WELL, SO, GREAT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ROMAN NUMERAL

[IV. Public Hearing and Consideration of a Special Minimum Lot Size Block Application - 1300 block of W. Bell Street, north and south sides - SMLSB 806 (Davonte Caldwell)]

MR. CALDWELL? YES.

UH, GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

MY NAME IS DEVONTE CALDWELL WITH THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT HAS RECEIVED AN APPLICATION FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A 2,500 SQUARE FOOT SPECIAL MINIMUM LOT SIZE BLOCK FOR THE 1300 BLOCK OF WEST BELL STREET NORTH AND SOUTH SIDES BETWEEN THE HAZEL STREET AND WA DRIVE.

THE BLOCK IS LOCATED WITHIN THE NEAR TOWN MONTROSE NEIGHBORHOOD.

STAFF RECOMMENDS PLANNING COMMISSION TO FORWARD THE APPLICATION TO CITY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL.

THE APPLICANT PROVIDED EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT FROM OWNERS OF 17 OF THE 29 OTS REPRESENTING 54% OF THE TOTAL AREA NOTIFICATION WAS MAILED TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS IN THE APPLICATION AREA.

AND TWO, TIMELY WRITTEN PROTESTS FROM PROPERTY OWNERS WERE RECEIVED BY STAFF.

STAFF WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THE OWNERS OF 1339 AND 1302 WEST BELL STREET INITIALLY PROVIDED THEIR SIGNATURES OF SUPPORT FOR THIS APPLICATION, BUT LATER EXPRESSED THEIR OPPOSITION AND FILED THE PROTEST WITHIN THE 30 DAY PERIOD.

HOWEVER, IT IS THAT POLICY TO NOT REMOVE OR INCLUDE SIGNATURES ONCE AN APPLICATION HAS BEEN SUBMITTED.

I THINK WE, WE NEED SOME DIFFERENT BACKUP.

THIS WHOLE TIME I WAS LIKE, OH, WE GOT THAT.

ALRIGHT, SO THE APPLICANT PROVIDED EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT FROM OWNERS OF 17 OF THE 29 LOTS, REPRESENTING 54% OF THE AREA.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THE 1339 AND UH, 1302 WEST BELL STREET, UM, INITIALLY PROVIDED THEIR SIGNATURES OF SUPPORT.

BUT, UM, LATER, UH, WISH TO FILE A PROTEST.

UM, AGAIN, AS I STATED BEFORE, IT IS THAT POLICY TO NOT REMOVE OR INCLUDE SIGNATURES ONCE THE APPLICATION HAS BEEN SUBMITTED.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

LOTS, TWO VACANT LOTS, AND ONE COMMERCIAL LOT.

THE APPLICATION AREA CONSISTS OF 21 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS, REPRESENTING 72% OF THE TOTAL LOTS IN THE APPLICATION AREA.

FIVE MULTI-FAMILY

[02:00:01]

A MINIMUM LOT SIZE OF 2,500 SQUARE FEET EXIST ON 21 LOTS IN THE AREA, WHICH REPRESENTS 81% OF THE AREA.

THIS APPLICATION IS WITHIN THE ROSEMONT ADDITION SUBDIVISION, WHICH WAS PLOTTED IN 1924, AND MAJORITY OF THE HOMES WERE ORIGINALLY BUILT IN THE 1920S.

AND WITH THAT MADAM CHAIR, WE ARE READY TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

CAN I ASK A QUESTION? YES.

JUST FOR CLARITY.

SO, SO ARE THERE FOUR PROTESTS NOW OR ARE THE TWO, THE TWO DARKER TEAL COLORS ARE THE TWO PROTESTS? THEY'RE THE TWO PROTESTS.

THEY ORIGINALLY DIDN'T PROTEST, BUT YES.

BUT, UM, BUT THEN THEY, UM, ONCE THEY WERE INFORMED MORE ABOUT WHAT THE, WHAT THIS APPLICATION IS FOR, THEY WISH TO PROTEST.

SO WE'RE, WHAT WE'RE SEEING NOW IS THE, IS TWO PROTESTS.

TWO PROTESTS AND THE LIGHT AND THE OTHER ONES ARE YES, THE DARK, YEAH, THE DARK BLUE LOTS ARE THE PROTESTED LOTS.

I JUST WANTED TO TO CLARIFY THAT TOTAL CLARITY.

YEAH.

SO YOU, IN THE THIRD DAY PERIOD, YOU CHANGED THEIR COLOR.

YOU JUST DON'T CHANGE THE CALCULATION.

SO WHEN YOU SAID 17 OF WHATEVER IT WAS, THE ORIGINAL APPLICATION, BUT YOU DO SHOW US THE BLUE PROTESTS NOW THAT COME IN WITHIN THE 30 DAYS.

AFTER THE 30 DAYS.

YOU DON'T EVEN SHOW US THE, THEY WOULDN'T CHANGE THE BLUE OR THEY WOULD CHANGE TO BLUE, UM, IF THEY PROTESTED AFTER THE 30 IF THE DAY BEFORE.

I'M JUST CURIOUS.

SO WE'RE CLEAR.

I'M SORRY.

REPEAT THAT QUESTION PLEASE.

YOU, YOU CHANGED THE COLOR IN THE 30 DAY PERIOD, BUT IF YOU RECEIVE THE PROTEST PAST THE 30 DAY PERIOD, WOULD YOU HAVE CHANGED THE COLOR FOR US TO LET US KNOW OR YOU WOULD ANY WAY INDICATE THAT? NO, BECAUSE THESE WERE STILL TIMELY WOULD TO SPEAK TO US AND TELL US E EXACTLY.

JUST TO BE CLEAR.

BUT THESE WERE TIMELY FILED.

AND THEY'RE THEY'RE BUT THEY'RE NOT COUNTED.

RYAN CONLON, C-O-N-L-O-N.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE WE START THE PUBLIC HEARING? OKAY.

THE PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN.

I HAVE TWO SPEAKERS SIGNED TO SPEAK.

MR. CONLON.

HI MADAM CHAIR, PEOPLE OF COUNCIL, EVERYONE ONLINE JOINING US.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TODAY.

UM, I AM ONE OF THE TWO PROTESTORS.

I'M 1 3 0 2 WEST BELL.

I'M ONE OF THE ORIGINAL SIGNATURES BECAUSE WHAT I WAS LED TO BELIEVE I WAS SIGNING WAS NOT IN FACT THE TRUTH.

THE INTENT OF THIS IS TO STOP THOSE VACANT LANDS YOU SEE TO BUILD A LARGE MULTIFAMILY OR COMMERCIAL REAL.

AND THAT'S THE INTENT OF THE LAW.

BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THE SPEAR OF THE LAW IS BEING, THE BURDEN IS UNFORTUNATELY BEING PUSHED ON THOSE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHO HAVE NOT DEVELOPED.

I'D LIKE TO NOTICE THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THOSE LIGHT BLUE AND THE LOT SIZES.

THOSE ALSO HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED.

THERE ARE NINE LOT SIZES ON THE PROPERTY THAT HAVE NOT.

THERE ARE 11 OVERALL THAT HAVE BEEN.

IT'S THE HAVES VERSUS THE HAVE NOTS THAT ARE BOXING OUT THE OTHERS FOR THE RIGHT TO DEVELOP AT THEIR OWN PACE.

IF THIS IS PASSED, THE STREET WILL BE FROZEN FOR 40 YEARS AND THOSE THAT HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO EITHER BUY A DEVELOPED PROPERTY OR DO WHAT THEY PLEASE WITH IT WILL BE BOXED OUT.

AND PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF THAT, UM, AND THAT 54%, YOU CAN SEE HOW CLOSE IT IS.

ON TOP OF THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE THEME OF DESTRUCTION OF VALUE.

RIGHT NOW MY PROPERTY IS WORTH $784,000 IN TAX MONEY.

I CANNOT, IT'S 4,850.

IF THIS PASSES, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DIVIDE BY TWO THE PROPERTY ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME THAT HAS THE SAME EXACT LOT SIZE.

IF YOU TOOK MINE DIVIDED BY TWO, UH, THEY WOULD RIGHT NOW WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DEVELOP THAT SOLD FOR $900,000 IN THIS PAST MAY I WOULD HAVE.

THAT MEANS THAT THAT'S $900,000 FOR THAT UNIT THAT'S GOING TO THIS CITY'S POCKET TIMES TWO.

MY PROPERTY RIGHT NOW IS 784.

POTENTIALLY THAT BUILDING'S BUILDING IN 2010 THAT WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A TAX BASIS OF $2 MILLION ON MY UNIT.

MULTIPLY THAT TIMES NINE, THAT'S $9.1 MILLION OF ADDRESSABLE TAX REVENUE THAT YOU WILL BE GIVING UP BY PASSING THIS ORDINANCE BECAUSE OF THAT 2,500 SQUARE FOOT.

NOW LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE 2,500 SQUARE FOOT.

THERE ARE TWO PROPERTIES BEING SHOWN AT THE VERY END OF HERE.

THEY DO NOT APPLY TO THIS RESTRICTION BECAUSE THEY ARE ON A MA THROWAWAY, YET WE ARE USING THEM TO CALCULATE THE MINIMUM LOT SIZES.

IT SEEMS QUITE ARBITRARY TO, UH, TO BE APPLYING SUCH STRICT RULES WHEN IN FACT THEY HAVE THE OPTION, IT DOESN'T EVEN APPLY TO THEM.

AND LASTLY, YOU KNOW, I HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE, THE KIND OF THE RICH VERSUS THE POOR, THE HAVES THAT HAVE NOT.

UM, THEY WILL MAKE THE CASE THAT THIS IS A DESTRUCTION OF VALUE ON THEIR PROPERTY.

IF SOMETHING NICE COMES IN HERE AND IT'S DEVELOPED, THEY'RE INTRU AND THEIR NEST EGG IS IS GONE.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT MAY BE TRUE, BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE ADJACENT PROPERTY BEHIND THE TWO APPLICANTS THAT ARE LEADING THIS, INCLUDING MY OWN, THERE IS ZONE FOR INDUSTRIAL USE.

THERE IS A $2.5 MILLION PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY THAT IS DEVELOPING, UH, PROPERTIES LESS THAN FIVE FEET FROM THESE PROP, THIS, THIS PROPERTY LINE.

SORRY NEIGHBORS, BUT WE ALREADY LOST OUR VALUE.

[02:05:01]

WHEN THIS WENT THROUGH AN ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL LOT OVER A HUNDRED YARDS AWAY FROM YOUR PROPERTY, THE DAMAGE IS ALREADY DONE.

PLEASE DO NOT PUT THE BURDEN ON THE HAVE NOTS.

JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE MADE YOUR, YOU KNOW, YOUR PIECE DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE BURDEN OF THIS LAW PASSING SHOULD BE PASSED ON.

THOSE, UH, RESTS ON THE STREET.

LAST PIECE BEFORE I STEP AWAY, I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL HERE IN HOUSTON.

I GOT MY MBA FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON.

I'M APPLIED, EMPLOYED BY A GLOBAL 500 COMPANY WHOSE HEADQUARTERS, THEIR LARGEST CAMPUS IN THE WORLD IS BASED HERE IN HOUSTON.

PLEASE KEEP HOUSTON HOUSTON FOR WHAT WE STAND FOR AND ALLOW THOSE THAT MADE AN INVESTMENT.

THIS IS MY FIRST PROPERTY I EVER BOUGHT, TOOK A RESTORING COVID.

THE ASSUMPTIONS THAT I PUT INTO VALUING THIS PROPERTY ARE BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM ME.

PLEASE STICK UP FOR OTHERS THAT ARE IN MY STEP SITUATION.

THANK YOU ALL.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE SPEAKER? NO.

WE'RE NON-PROFIT PROFESSIONALS, WE'RE UNION WORKERS, WE'RE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS.

THANK YOU MR. THANK YOU ALL.

UH, THE NEXT SPEAKER IS ADITI KKO.

DID I SAY THAT RIGHT? CHOKI.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

UM, I REPRESENT A DIFFERENT CONSTITUENCY.

I'M A TENANT.

UM, I'M A HARVARD TRAINED DEVELOPMENT ECONOMIST AND I WORK IN THE HOUSTON AREA ON COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH.

SO I REPRESENT A, A DIFFERENT VOICE FOR HOW WE THINK ABOUT HOUSING.

UM, I'D FIRST LIKE TO BRING TO LIFE, LIKE WHO LIVES AT THAT INTERSECTION.

SO BELL AND HAZEL, THE FOUR CORNERS OF THAT INTERSECTION ARE ALL OLDER UNITS.

UM, THEY'RE ALL TENANT PROPERTIES.

WE ARE STUDENTS, WE ARE RETIREES.

THAT'S LITERALLY THE COMPOSITION OF THOSE FOUR UNITS.

WE ADD A LOT OF VIBRANCY, UM, TO THAT COMMUNITY.

I'D ALSO LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE MILIEU OF THAT MONTROSE AREA.

UM, YOU KNOW, I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS.

UM, THE TEXAS WOMEN'S CENTER IS AT W AND DALLAS.

UM, THE, UM, WOMEN'S HOME IS ON WESTHEIMER AND TAFT.

THERE'S A VIBRANT GOODWILL.

UM, THERE ARE, UM, A NUMBER OF NONPROFIT SHOPS.

SO THIS PART OF MONTROSE, UM, REPRESENTS SOME OF THE BEST OF HOUSTON, YOU KNOW, UNLIKE SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT YOU MIGHT'VE HEARD OF THAT ARE FURTHER OUT, UM, THIS IS SOME OF THE MOST PRIME PROPERTY.

UM, AND IT'S CLOSE TO WHAT MAKES HOUSTON SO SPECIAL, WHICH IS THAT YOU CAN HAVE, UM, YOU KNOW, RIVER OAKS AND YOU CAN HAVE LUXURY TOWNHOUSES RIGHT NEXT TO REALLY VIBRANT SOCIAL SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS.

AND THERE CAN BE, YOU KNOW, REALLY WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITIES FOR TENANTS TO LIVE SO COMFORTABLY AMONGST THOSE COMMUNITIES.

UM, YOU KNOW, IF YOU LOOK AT THE RESEARCH, UM, MINIMUM LOT SIZE REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT PROGRESSIVE.

UM, THEY, THEY, THEY SHOULD BE KIND OF UNITING PEOPLE ACROSS DIFFERENT POLITICAL SPECTRUMS. IT CREATES A CUMBERSOME, UM, YOU KNOW, PER, UM, COMMISSIONER CLARK'S POINT, IT CREATES UNNECESSARY, YOU KNOW, CUMBERSOME RESTRICTIONS.

A MINIMUM LOT SIZE DOESN'T PRECLUDE A DEVELOPER FROM BUILDING SOMETHING BIG, BUT IT KEEPS THE OPTIONS OPEN FOR PEOPLE TO DEVELOP SOMETHING SMALL.

AND INSTEAD OF HAVING HIGH TICKET OWNERSHIP IN THAT AREA, YOU PRESERVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE LOWER TICKET OWNERSHIP.

UM, AND I THINK THAT THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

THERE'S SO FEW LOTS IN THAT AREA THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR KIND OF NEXT GEN MORE, UM, MORE, UM, INNOVATIVE, AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

UM, AND IN THE SPIRIT OF THAT KIND OF EQUITABLE HOUSING GOAL, I MEAN, A LOT OF WHAT I HEARD, UM, AVIVA SAY IN THE LIVABLE PLACES ACTION COMMITTEE UPDATE IS EXACTLY THOSE KINDS OF, UM, INNOVATIONS AND, AND IN, UH, CEMENTING A MINIMUM LOT SIZE YOU ARE, UM, YOU'RE, YOU'RE MAKING THE CHANCES OF THAT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE, YOU KNOW? AND FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY IN THE AREA, THE DEVELOPERS HAVE THE CHANCE TO MAKE LUXURY TOWN HOMES.

BUT THERE'S, IF YOU, YOU KNOW, JUST FOR PERSPECTIVE'S SAKE, YOU KNOW, THIS OLD, UM, THIS OLD TOWNHOUSE THAT I RENT IN RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, THERE'S FOUR PEOPLE WHO LIVE COMFORTABLY THERE.

UM, I, IT'S IN 1302.

UM, YOU KNOW, IT, IT, IT WOULD BE SO POSSIBLE FOR THREE PEOPLE TO LIVE THERE COMFORTABLY IN DIFFERENT UNITS.

AND A LOT OF TIMES THE PEOPLE YOU HEAR FROM ARE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN, IN LUXURY COMPLEXES, UM, THAT LOSE PERSPECTIVE A LITTLE BIT.

UM, AND IT'S, IT'S ALSO KIND OF JUST ANTI-MARKET FORCES.

IF YOU LOOK AT SOME RESEARCH THAT'S BEEN DONE, UM, YOU KNOW, WHENEVER YOU HAVE A MINIMUM LOT SIZE REQUIREMENT, YOU SEE OWNERSHIP CLUSTERED AT THE MINIMUM THAT SUGGESTS PEOPLE WOULD LOVE TO BUY IF A LOWER OPTION SIZE WAS AVAILABLE.

AND THAT IS THE MECHANICS OF HOW YOU PRESERVE A PROGRESSIVE OPTION FOR PEOPLE IN THE CITY.

AND I, I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER GARZA.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS. COHI? THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE.

UM, I DON'T HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.

DO WE HAVE ANYONE VIRTUAL WHO WANTS TO SPEAK ON THE ITEM? ANYONE LISTENING? UM, THEN I WILL GO AHEAD AND, UM, I GUESS CLOSE THE PUBLIC

[02:10:01]

HEARING, UM, COMMISSION.

MR. CALDWELL, WHERE ARE YOU? HERE YOU'RE MM-HMM .

GO AHEAD, MR. CALDWELL.

UM, SO I'M NOTICING MICRO, MICRO, UM, LET'S OH'S I'M ON, SORRY, UH, LOTS.

1339 AND 1302.

ARE YOU HEARING ME? OKAY.

ARE, UM, ARE LISTED AS MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL? YES.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IS COMMERCIAL.

I MEAN, FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES, NOT SINGLE FAMILY, IT'S MULTI-FAMILY.

IT'S BASICALLY COMMERCIAL.

WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT IT THAT WAY.

SO MY QUESTION WOULD BE IF I OWNED ONE OF THESE PROPERTIES ON THE END AND IS NOW MULTI-FAMILY, I COULD TEAR DOWN MY MULTI-FAMILY YES.

AND REPLACE IT WITH MULTIFAMILY.

MULTIFAMILY, MULTIFAMILY, OR YOU CAN BUILD A COMMERCIAL.

IT'S NOT, OR A COMMERCIAL.

IT'S NOT, IT DOESN'T COMPLY WITH SINGLE FAMILY RESTRICTIONS.

CORRECT.

SO THESE, THESE TWO LOTS ARE BASICALLY EXEMPT BECAUSE THEY'RE THEY'RE MULTIFAMILY.

FROM THE LANE USE RESTRICTION.

BUT NOT THE SUBDIVISION .

NO, BUT COMMENT, COMMISSIONER CLARK, I MEAN, BALDWIN, I'LL JUST, I MEAN, I'M GONNA GET OUTVOTED SO IT WON'T REALLY MATTER AND I'LL TAKE MY TIME.

I, I HATE THESE APPLICATIONS WHEN THESE GUYS ARE BEING PUNISHED.

THE 4,900, THE 4,800 SQUARE FOOT LOTS, WHICH MAKE UP JUST AS MANY OF THEM AS THE 2,500 SQUARE FOOT LOTS, WHEN YOU REALLY LOOK THE MAKEUP, THIS BLOCK IS GONE.

IT, IT IS REALLY A POOR EXAMPLE OF WHERE MINIMUM LOT SIZE SHOULD BE ADOPTED.

THERE'S NOT A PREVAILING LOT SIZE THAT'S REALLY 2,500.

YOU'RE JUST SAYING IT'S 2,500 OR GREATER, WHICH PUNISHES REALLY, I BELIEVE A FAIR NUMBER ABOUT 33% OF THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE AT 48, 49, 48 40.

REALLY THAT NUMBER SHOULD BE 2,400.

AND THEN I WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH IT.

I'M GONNA VOTE AGAINST THIS.

'CAUSE I DON'T THINK IT COMPLIES WITH THE INTENT OF THE ORDINANCE.

I'D PROBABLY GET BEAT.

IS THAT A MOTION ? UH, ? IT CAN BE.

I MEAN, IF I GOT, I MEAN, I DON'T BELIEVE 2,500 IS THE APPROPRIATE LOT SIZE FOR THIS APPLICATION, AND I WILL VOTE TO REJECT THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION MOTION.

I'LL MOVE TO VOTE AGAINST IT.

IT'S HARD TO TAKE THE WORDS OUTTA MY MOUTH.

WE ALL KNOW THAT.

UM, BUT YOU DID, AND I AGREE WITH YOU, AND I'D LIKE TO SECOND THAT MOTION.

WE DO HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO, UH, DISAPPROVE THE APPLICATION.

FURTHER DISCUSSION.

I'D JUST LIKE TO ADD, I, WHEN I FIRST LOOKED AT THIS, I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING, UM, JUST FROM AN EQUITY STANDPOINT.

SO BILL, I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT IT UP.

OKAY, GO AHEAD, COMMISSIONER GARZA.

UH, JUST A REMINDER, I, I LIVE IN AN INNER CITY NEIGHBORHOOD AND YOU KNOW, UM, WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE DEED RESTRICTIONS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY DON'T ADDRESS AND WHEN YOU DO HAVE THEM, BUT THEY DON'T ADDRESS LOT SIZE, THESE ARE SOME OF THE FEW PROTECTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

AND YOU KNOW, AS YOU ALL KNOW, OVER THE YEARS, THESE TWO ORDINANCES HAVE CHANGED DRAMATICALLY FROM LIKE THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD TO MULTIPLE, YOU KNOW, UH, MINIMUM, UH, BLOCK FACES.

AND NOW ONE FACE OR THE OTHER, WHICH, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WORK THROUGH THOSE THINGS AND CHANGE THEM OVER TIME SO THAT THEY BEST ADDRESS WITH BROAD BRUSH STROKES.

UH, THE CONSTITUENCY, I WILL NOT BE VOTING, UM, TO, I WILL NOT BE VOTING NO ON THIS SIMPLY BECAUSE THIS IS A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS TRYING TO PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS IT IS TODAY.

UM, AND SO, UH, AGAIN, WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH ORDINANCES THAT ARE PAINTED IN BROAD BRUSH STROKES, SOME PEOPLE ARE GONNA GET THE SHORT END OF THE STICK.

THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT ALWAYS WORKS.

UM, BUT AGAIN, UM, I THINK THIS IS WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD CAN DO TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AND THE INTEGRITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND I WILL BE VOTING TO PASS THIS ALONG TO CITY COUNCIL.

SO YOU'LL BE VOTING NO ON THE MOTION TO DISAPPEAR? YES.

FURTHER DISCUSSION.

COMMISSIONER ROBS? YEAH, WHAT, WHAT'S THE PERCENTAGE IF YOU TAKE THE, CAN YOU REC RECAP? I JUST CAN'T DO THE MATH IN MY HEAD.

THAT BAD.

51 1, IT'S 51.

AND IF YOU WERE, AND JUST HYPOTHETICALLY, IF YOU WERE TO BACK OUT THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE ALREADY UNDER THE 25, WHAT IS, IT'S GOTTA GO DOWN BY 50% FROM 51, RIGHT? SO YOU REALLY ARE TALKING ABOUT 25% OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT DETRIMENTALLY OR DETRIMENTALLY IMPACTED, RIGHT? YES.

IT WOULD BE LESS THAN 50%, 51%.

31 50.

IT WOULD BE 51 50 1%, WHICH IS THE MINIMUM I'M TALKING ABOUT IF YOU, IF YOU BACK OUT THE LOTS THAT ARE THE DARK GREEN THAT ARE ALREADY UNDER THE 2,500.

OH YES.

IT WOULD ACTUALLY, WITH THE CURRENT SUPPORT OF BEING 54%, IT WOULD DROP DOWN TO 45%.

THAT PUTTING THAT IN PLACE MAY NOT PROTECT YOU FROM WHAT IS ALREADY ON THE GROUND, BUT THIS IS WHEN, THIS IS THE TRIGGER.

ONE MORE THING.

I THINK I HAD COMMISSIONER SEGLER.

NO, AND AGAIN, I REJECT THAT ARGUMENT BECAUSE YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPENS IS, AND UH, COMMISSIONER MODEST ALREADY BROUGHT IT UP.

IT'S LIKE, WELL

[02:15:01]

WHEN YOU SEE TOWN HOMES STARTING BEING BUILT, THIS IS THE TRIGGER FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO GO, WOW, WE'VE GOT A FEW.

THAT'S GREAT.

IT CHANGES THE, THE VIBE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT BRINGS THEM, BECAUSE THESE ARE TEND TO BE SLIGHTLY LOWER PRICE, SMALLER LOTS.

YOU BRING NEWER, NEWER PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IT REVITALIZED THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT AT A CERTAIN TIME, THE GENIE IS NOT OUTTA THE BOTTLE AT A CERTAIN TIME.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD SAYS, OKAY, WE HAVE ENOUGH AND, AND WE'RE GOOD.

IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, WE PUT THESE RESTRICTIONS IN PLACE.

THERE ARE TOWN HOMES ALL AROUND US, WHICH I THINK IS GREAT BECAUSE IT'S BRINGING YOUNGER PEOPLE, NEWER PEOPLE, PEOPLE WITH CHILDREN.

IT REMODELS THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

ON THE OTHER HAND, ON MY BLOCK, WE DO NOT HAVE THEM BECAUSE WE'RE, WE HAVE, UH, ALL THE HOUSES FROM 1910 ARE ALL STILL THERE AND COMPLETE.

NOTHING NEW HAS BEEN BUILT IN FOUR BLOCKS.

AND I WAS ABLE TO PROTECT MY BLOCK AROUND US GREAT.

NEXT DOOR TO ME.

NO.

AND I TOOK ACTION TO MAKE SURE THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD COMMISSION, REGARDLESS OF LOT SIZE.

COMMISSIONER BALDWIN, THE DIFFERENCE, I WOULD SAY IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, THERE WAS A STANDARD 5,000 SQUARE FOOT LOT THAT WAS SUBDIVIDED IN TWO.

THESE LOTS ARE NOT STANDARD 5,000.

THERE'S A LOT OF 48 AND 4,900 SQUARE FOOT LOTS THAT ARE BEING DISPROPORTIONATELY PUNISHED BECAUSE THEY CAN'T BE SUBDIVIDED INTO THE 2,500 SQUARE FEET.

IF THAT NUMBER HAD BEEN 2,400 OR SOMETHING, I THINK I PROBABLY COULD STOMACH IT A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

BUT 2,500 IS DISPROPORTIONATELY NOT FAIR.

WHEN THE STANDARD LOT SIZE IS NOT 5,000 SQUARE FEET ON THAT BLOCK ANY LONGER.

I I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR.

YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, IT WAS A STANDARD 5,000 SQUARE FOOT LOT.

IT MAKES SENSE THEN, BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IN THIS APPLICATION, IN MY OPINION.

AND AS MUCH AS I WOULD LOVE MINIMUM LOT, I, I DO LOVE MINIMUM LOT SIZE.

I ACTUALLY AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER BALDWIN A HUNDRED PERCENT.

UM, AND THE REALITY IS WHETHER, WHATEVER MISUNDERSTANDING IS WHEN YOU DO ACCOUNT FOR THE PROTEST, WHETHER WE SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT, WOULD WE BE LOOKING AT THIS APPLICATION? RIGHT? SO THE INTENT GOING BACK TO THE INTENT OF THE APPLICATION OF WANTING TO PROTECT THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THEY HAVE THAT OVERALL INTENT OF WANTING TO PROTECT THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO, UH, I'M ACTUALLY INCLINED WITH, UH, TO, UH, COMMISSIONER BALDWIN AND COMMISSIONER CLARK, EVEN THOUGH THEORETICALLY I WOULD LOVE TO DO, THEY HAD 74%.

I DON'T THINK WE'D BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION.

I MEAN, AND THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY WE WOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION.

COMMISSIONER CLARK, DID YOU HAVE COMMENTS? OKAY.

ANYBODY ELSE FURTHER DISCUSSION? MADAM CHAIR? YES.

WHO IS THAT? COMMISSIONER SMITH? UH, QUESTION FOR STAFF.

QUESTION FOR STAFF.

COULD YOU REFRESH MY MEMORY ON THE, UH, THE LANGUAGE OR THE, THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE LANGUAGE OF WHO ESTABLISHES THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE CALLED OUT IN THE PETITION? IS THAT THE APPLICANT'S DISCRETION? AND ARE THERE ANY BOUNDARIES SPECIFIED IN THE RULES? IT SEEMS, SEEMS AS THOUGH WE'VE, WE'VE HAD A PETITION SUBMITTED SETTING A, UH, MINIMUM SIZE THAT SAYS COMMISSIONER BALDWIN DESCRIBED.

IS, IS THAT, IS THAT, I ASSUME IT MEETS THE RULES 'CAUSE YOU'RE HERE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL, BUT, UH, COULD YOU, COULD YOU HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT THE BASIS OF THIS IS IN THE LANGUAGE THAT MIGHT NEED ATTENTION IN THE FUTURE? YES.

UM, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, IT IT IS, IT IS THE APPLICANT'S RE UM, RESPONSIBILITY TO COLLECT THE SIGNATURES OF SUPPORT FROM PROPERTY OWNERS ON HIS OR HER BLOCK.

UM, RIGHT.

AND YEAH, I'M SORRY, GO AHEAD.

I, I THINK THE QUESTION MR. CALDWELL IS WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR PAPERWORK, IT SAYS NUMBER 17 IS 2,500 SQUARE FEET, WHICH COMPRISES 71.7%, THE CUMULATIVE PERCENT OF THE AREA.

AND I THINK THE COMMISSIONER IS ASKING, IS THAT VARIABLE? AND I THINK THE ANSWER IS NO.

I THINK YOU HAVE A MATHEMATICAL FORMULA.

IT'S BUILT INTO THE ORDINANCE.

THAT'S CORRECT.

THAT REQUIRES US TO BE AT 70 73.

BUT THEY COULD HAVE APPLIED TO 2,400.

NO, YOU MISUNDERSTOOD THE QUESTION.

IT HAS TO 70 COME FROM TIME.

SEE THAT'S THE THING.

IT HAS TO MEET THE 70TH, THE 70 PERCENTAGE POINT.

YOU CAN'T ARBITRARILY CHOOSE IT.

OR WE WOULD OBVIOUSLY CORRECT.

IT HAS TO MEET THAT 70%.

SORRY, IT HAS TO MEET THE 70%.

WE'RE LOCKED INTO OUR MATH.

THE ORDINANCE LOCKS US IN THERE WITH THE MATH.

ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION? UM, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO, UH, I GUESS THE PROPER MOTION IS TO DISAPPROVE THE, UH, DISAPPROVE THE APPLICATION.

UM, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

THOSE OPPOSED, OPPOSED.

[02:20:01]

IT IS DISAPPROVED WITH ONE NO VOTE BY COMMISSIONER GARZA.

ROMAN NUMERAL FIVE, WE NEED TO EXCUSE THE ABSENCES OF COMMISSIONER ABRAHAM.

UM, OKAY.

THE, UH,

[V. Excuse the absences of Commissioner Abraham]

IF THERE'S NO OBJECTION, WE WILL EXCUSE THE ABSENCES.

NUMERAL SIX IS PUBLIC COMMENT.

UM, ROMAN

[VI. Public Comment]

WE DO HAVE A SPEAKER.

UM, DOROTHY HAS, MS HAS HA I'M SORRY.

COME FORWARD.

YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES.

UM, I'M HERE.

YOU CAN BEND THE MICROPHONE DOWN IF YOU'D LIKE.

PROJECT MANAGER PLAN.

SO HELLO EVERYBODY AGAIN.

I'M DOROTHY HAASS.

I AM 65.

I LIVE AT 34 23 HOME STREET.

I FOUND MY HOME AND THIS PLAN THAT MAYOR TURNER PROPOSED ORIGINALLY IT WAS SURVEYED IN 2015.

THEY HAD A PLAN IN 2016, BUT HARVEY CAME IN 2017.

COVID HAPPENED.

CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES HAVE ALL GONE AWAY.

SO NOW THERE'S A NEW COMPANY, BUT THEIR ENGINEER USED A 2015 SURVEY.

THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD TAKE AWAY THE PARK, WAGNER STREET PARK, RUN A STREET THROUGH A DRAINAGE.

SO ANYWAY, THEY CAN'T DO THAT.

SO THEY HAVE ALL THESE EXTRA GUYS.

I'M ON A FINGER OFF OF THE STREETS.

I'M ON A DEAD END.

I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE, THE LAST ROAD TO HAVE WATER AND DRAINAGE PUT IN.

WELL, THEY PUT IN WATER THE OTHER DAY NOT KNOWING.

THEY BROKE A OLD WATER LINE AND THEY TOOK AWAY OUR DRAINAGE.

THE ONLY DRAINAGE WE HAD IN FOR FOUR BLOCKS, THEY TOOK IT AWAY.

AND I FLOODED SUNDAY, MONDAY AND HOUSTON TOOK IT SERIOUSLY ENOUGH TO SEND OUT THE EMERGENCY CREW ON MONDAY MORNING.

SO, YOU KNOW, BOBBY, THE CITY LIAISON AND, AND, UM, STEVE, THE INSPECTOR FOR THE CITY, THEY ALL CAME OUT WITH THE CITY OF HOUSTON AND THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY.

THEY PUMPED ALL THE WATER OUTTA MY YARD.

IT WENT UP TO THE FIRST STEP OF MY HOME.

SO THAT SHOWS THAT I'M THE LOWEST IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE PROJECT SUPERVISOR SAID TODAY, IT'S NOT MY FAULT.

YOU WERE DUMB ENOUGH TO BUY A HOUSE IN A HOLE.

LOVELY.

RIGHT? HE TAKES AWAY DRAINS.

IT TOOK ME THREE YEARS AND I WORKED WITH MAYOR PARKER AND GONZALEZ TO GET THESE DRAINS PUT IN.

I SPENT 13 OR $14,000 OF MY OWN MONEY HIRING AN ENGINEER, PUTTING SANDBAGS AROUND MY HOUSE IN PUMPS.

AND I HAD TO DO THAT THE OTHER NIGHT.

I HAD TO GET GUYS OUT THERE DIGGING HOLES AND PUTTING PUMPS UP SO I DID NOT FLOOD.

AND SO THEY TOOK A PORTION OUT OF A 24 INCH DRAIN PIPE TO THE OTHER END, 24 INCH DRAIN PIPE.

THEY TOOK A PORTION OUT BECAUSE THEY NEEDED ROOM.

THEY PUT A SIX INCH PIPE IN.

SO IMAGINE, RIGHT? YOU THINK THAT WORKS? DRAINAGE CAME OUT TODAY AND THEY SAID IT'S NOT WORKING.

SO I NEED Y'ALL TO KNOW I AM GONNA GO TALK WITH, I HAVE A, WITH THE MAYOR AND ABBY NEXT WEEK BECAUSE THEY KNOW MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE DRAINAGE BEFORE, BECAUSE IT'S VERY TRICKY IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND MY ENGINEER HAD WORKED WITH THE CITY WHEN CARL SMITH WAS THE ENGINEER, AND THE DRAINS WERE PERFECT DURING HARVEY.

WE HAD HARDLY ANY WATER.

SO THANK YOU ALL.

I JUST WANT THIS ON RECORD.

EVERYONE'S BLAMING EVERYONE ELSE.

I WE'RE SORRY YOU'RE HAVING SUCH PROBLEMS. I THINK YOU'RE GOING THE RIGHT DIRECTION BY GETTING IN TOUCH WITH THE MAYOR'S CITIZENS ASSISTANCE OFFICE.

BUT I JUST WANT Y'ALL, I I ALWAYS SAY THURSDAY AND I FIGURED YEAH.

WE APPRECIATE YOU STICKING WITH US THE WHOLE MEETING.

I, I NEED TO DO WHAT I NEED TO DO.

OKAY, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE SIGNED UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

UH, ROMAN SEVEN IS ADJOURNMENT.

IS THERE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? CLARK SECOND GARZA.
