THE SECOND TYPE OF USE IS WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS A SPECIAL USE.

A SPECIAL USE ALLOWS FOR CERTAIN LAND USES IN A GIVEN ZONING DISTRICT AND GENERALLY REQUIRES MORE REVIEW BY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL IN ORDER TO ENSURE, UH, THE COMPA UH, COMPATIBILITY OF THE PROPOSED USE WITH THE SURROUNDING LAND USES.

IN THIS CASE, THE MOBILE FOOD ESTABLISHMENT PARK IS NOT A PERMITTED USE.

NO CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL PRIOR TO THE OFFICIAL SUBMITTAL OF THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT.

BUT WE HAVE UPDATED OUR ORDINANCE TO INCLUDE A SECTION ON, UH, MOBILE FOOD TRUCK ESTABLISHMENT PARKS.

WE HAVE TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING FIRST.

UH, AT THIS TIME, WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I DON'T HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.

IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? SEEING NONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND OPEN UP FOR A DISCUSSION.

COMMISSIONER COSGROVE,

[00:10:02]

THANK YOU.

DO WE HAVE, UM, ANYTHING IN, IN, IN PLACE TO, TO, UH, MAKE SURE THAT THE INTEGRITY OF THE CREEK IS, IS MAINTAINED WITH, UH, ALL THE DOGS AND TRAFFIC WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE? DO WE, DO WE HAVE ANYTHING? UH, MAYBE THAT'S FOR THE APPLICANT.

SO IF YOU COME UP, SIR, AND, AND THANK YOU.

UH, SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, UH, AT THE MOMENT, NO, UH, WE DO PLAN TO FENCE IT, UH, WHILE WE, UM, CONTINUE OUR EFFORTS TO CLEAN UP THE CREEK.

WE'VE ALREADY DONE A MAJOR CLEANUP, UH, ALREADY ON THE PROPERTY.

UH, WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CITY'S PLAN TO IMPROVE AND HOPEFULLY BRING IN A TRAIL AT LEAST ON THE OTHER SIDE.

UM, AND OF COURSE, THAT'LL BE A PARKS AND RECREATION THING I'M HEARING.

BUT, UH, THAT IS ONE OF OUR THINGS TO DO IS, IS WORK WITH PARKS AND REC TO HOPEFULLY IMPROVE THAT CREEK AND OF COURSE, MAKE IT SAFE AND FAMILY FRIENDLY.

BUT OUR GOAL AT, AT AT LEAST, UM, THE BEGINNING STAGE IS TO, UH, IMPLEMENT A FENCE WHILE WE TAKE CARE OF IT, IMPROVE IT TO WHERE WE FEEL IT'S GONNA BE SAFE FOR OBVIOUSLY, UH, THE CITY'S NEEDS AND OF COURSE, OUR CUSTOMER'S NEEDS.

THANK YOU, SIR.

YOU GOT IT, SIR.

THANKS.

WELL, COMMISSIONER MAY.

I'M GOOD.

COMMISSIONER ALLER? YEAH.

QUICK QUESTION.

HOW DO YOU, UH, INTEND TO HANDLE PARKING SINCE BROAD DOESN'T HAVE ANY PARKING, UH, ALONG THE STREET THERE? SO OUR GOAL INITIALLY WAS TO IMPLEMENT SOME SORT OF PARKING.

THERE IS PARKING THERE THAT HAS BEEN USED FOR YEARS.

UM, WE CAME UP WITH A CONCEPT TO AD PARKING, BUT IT WAS, I DON'T WANNA SAY DENIED, BUT, UH, AT THE MOMENT, UH, THEY'D MENTIONED THAT, UM, MAYBE IT WOULDN'T BE NECESSARY BECAUSE OF THE ABILITY TO MAYBE USE BAGHDAD STREET THROUGH A USER LICENSE AGREEMENT.

OKAY.

I CAN ADD TO THAT AS WELL.

UM, WITH OUR BUDGET WE'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW, WE'VE INCLUDED ADDING, UM, STRIPING ALONG BROAD TO ENCOURAGE, UH, HEAD END PARKING TO ADD MORE SPACES ALONG THE ROAD.

OKAY.

THAT'D BE GREAT.

CAUSE I WAS GONNA SAY, MY ONLY CONCERN IS JUST THAT THE FACT THERE'S PARKING THAT IS KIND OF BECOMING MORE OF A BUSY ROAD, ALTHOUGH THE SPEED LIMIT IS RELATIVELY LOW, UH, MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT PEOPLE ARE PARKING ACROSS THE STREET ON BAGHDAD OR OTHER STREETS IN OLD TOWN, LEANDER, THAT THEY WOULD, MIGHT WANT TO HAVE.

WE, WE MIGHT WANNA HAVE SOME SORT OF MARKINGS OR SIGNAGE FOR CROSSWALKS IN THAT AREA TO GET ACCESS TO NOT ONLY YOUR PLACE, BUT THE OTHER ESTABLISHMENT ESTABLISHMENTS THAT ARE ALONG BROAD.

SO WE WOULD LOVE THAT.

OKAY.

UH, OTHER THAN THAT, I'M GOOD.

COMMISSIONER CARPENTER, UH, COUPLE QUICK QUESTIONS.

ARE YOU MAXING OUT THE NUMBER OF FOOD TRUCKS AT FOUR? UH, YES, SIR.

ALL RIGHT.

SO, AND THEN THE OTHER THING IS, ARE THOSE HOURS THE SAME AS WHAT THE OTHER PEOPLE OPERATE DOWN IN THAT AREA? I, I, I'M NOT SURE.

I KNOW FOR US, WE WANTED TO KEEP IT FAMILY FRIENDLY.

UM, WE WANTED TO KEEP, UH, THE NOISE LEVEL DOWN AFTER A CERTAIN HOUR, ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEIGHBORS.

AND, UH, I DON'T WANNA BE WORKING ALL NIGHT , SO OUR GOAL IS TO ONLY BE THERE TILL ABOUT NINE OR 10 O'CLOCK UNLESS IT IS A SPECIAL EVENT, SIR.

OKAY.

THAT'S ALL I HAD.

I WAS GONNA ACTUALLY ADD, UH, TO YOUR QUESTION ABOUT THE HOURS OF OPERATION.

I NOTICED, LIKE, LIKE LEANDER TRUCKING COMPANY, I LOOKED IT UP.

THEY OPERATE TILL 9:00 PM ON, PRETTY MUCH ACROSS THE BOARD.

SO THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR REQUEST IS YOU WANNA BE OPEN TO ABOUT 10 ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT, IT WOULD JUST BE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT UNTIL 10.

I THINK THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD CHANGE IS MAYBE THE HOURS WE OPEN AS WE BRING IN MORE COFFEE.

OKAY.

SO, UM, MY, MY ONLY QUESTION IS HAVE YOU WORKED WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS TO THE EAST OF YOU THAT HAS PARKING ALREADY KIND OF ESTABLISHED? BECAUSE IT ONLY, IT ONLY ENTAILS THAT YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE GONNA PROBABLY USE THEIR PARKING TO MAKE SURE THAT, THAT THEY'RE UNDERSTANDING AND ARE OKAY WITH THAT.

UM, THAT WOULD BE A POSSIBILITY.

AND, UH, WE'VE GOT A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH, UM, OUR, OUR NEIGHBORS NEXT DOOR.

UM, I BELIEVE IT'S WILDFIRE.

WILDFIRE? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SPEAKING OF? MM-HMM.

.

OKAY.

YEAH.

UH, GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM, UH, TO, TO WORK TOGETHER AND HOPEFULLY, UH, COME UP WITH, YOU KNOW, A PLAN THAT WORKS BEST FOR, FOR NOT ONLY, UH, US BUT THE CITY AS WELL.

SO THAT'S OUR GOAL.

BUT, UM, ONE OF THE BIGGEST, UH, REASONS WHY WE'RE HERE IS WHEN WE HEARD ABOUT THE PROJECT IN TERMS OF MAKING OLD TOWN PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY, UM, WE, UH, COULDN'T WAIT TO GET INVOLVED.

AND WITH THOSE IMPROVEMENTS, WE FEEL THAT SHOULD HELP TREMENDOUSLY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU GUYS, OR IF THE CITY IMPROVES BROAD AND ADDS MORE PARKING.

OKAY, GREAT.

YEAH, THAT WAS MY ONLY CONCERN BECAUSE IF WE INVITE SOMEONE ELSE IN AND THEY'RE USING, UH, A NEIGHBOR'S PARKING AND TAKES AWAY FROM THEIR PARKING, SO I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE OKAY WITH THAT.

AND I SEE THE NODS AND THE THUMBS UP FROM THE, FROM THE AUDIENCE.

SO I'M GOOD.

I'M GOOD WITH THAT.

SO THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM.

IF THERE'S NO MORE DISCUSSION, MOTION TO APPROVE, AND I WILL SECOND

[00:15:01]

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

THANK YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU ALL.

APPRECIATE IT.

YES.

HELLO EVERYONE.

MY NAME IS SERVICE TAKA.

I'M THE, UH, ST.

CITY ENGINEER HERE.

UH, WE WORKED, UH, UH, FOR THIS, UH, TMP AMENDMENT, UH, TRANSPORTATION, MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT, UH, AFTER WE'VE SEEN SOME GROWTH, UH, AROUND LEANDRO AREA AND, UH, THE ORIGINAL TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN, UH, UH, UH, UTILIZED, UH, EXISTING SITUATIONS AND TRAFFIC AT THAT TIME.

AND THAT'S HOW, UH, THE MASTER PLAN WAS CREATED.

BUT AFTER A FEW DEVELOPMENTS, UH, CAME THROUGH AND, UH, AND WE SAW THAT, UH, THERE WAS A NEED TO REVISE THE MASTER PLAN, THE THOROUGHFARES, UH, UH, ADDING THE, UH, FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES WAS DONE WHERE, UM, WHERE STAFF AT, LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE MAY NEED TO LOOK AT SOME OF THESE, UH, STREETS ONE MORE TIME.

SO WE LOOKED AT THESE STREETS AND KIND OF DID A RE-ANALYSIS OF THE MODEL, UH, AND, UH, AND THEN THE SUGGESTIONS WERE, UH, PRESENTED TO US BY, UH, BY OUR, UH, ENGINEERING CONSULTANT.

SO, UH, THE, UH, IF YOU LOOK AT THE, THE EXECUTIVE BACKGROUND HERE.

SO WE HAVE, UH, FIVE, UH, RECOMMENDATIONS IN HERE, UM, CHAINS, UH, NAMELESS ROAD TO A COLLECTOR ROADWAY NORTH OF FUTURE EXTENSION OF, UH, TRASA PARKWAY TO RUN MOUNTAIN DRIVE, UH, CHAINS, UH, CR 2 67 TO A FOUR LANE ARTERIAL BETWEEN EQUI EQUINE, UH, ROAD TO KAUFMAN LOOP CHAINS, CRYSTAL FALLS PARKWAY TO A SIX LANE ARTERIAL ROADWAY BETWEEN RO UH, RONALD REAGAN WEST, UH, RONALD WEST REAGAN BOULEVARD.

AND, UH, CR 1 75, UH, ADD, UH, CR 2 64 AS A COLLECTOR ROADWAY AND ADD, UH, STAMP IRON AVENUE AS A COLLECTOR ROADWAY.

SO THESE ARE THE CHANGES WE ARE RECOMMENDING BASED ON THE RE-ANALYSIS OF THE, UH, MODEL BASED ON NEW, UH, NEW DATA.

SO WE'VE LOOKED AT THIS AND, UH, THIS WAS, UH, AGAIN, UM, LOOKED AT BY THE, THE SAME CONSULTANT WHO HAD DONE THE ORIGINAL TMP.

SO THAT'S, UH, THE BASE BACKGROUND.

UH, I'M OPEN FOR ANY QUESTIONS IF THERE IS ANY .

GREAT.

THANK YOU SIR.

AND I'M SURE WE MIGHT HAVE SOME AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING

[00:20:02]

I'M GONNA OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I HAVE NO ONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.

IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT THAT WOULD LIKE TO YES, SIR.

COME ON UP, SIR.

IF YOU'RE COME UP AND SPEAK YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE MICROPHONE, YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.

UH, MY NAME IS MARK SNYDER, AND I, I'M NOT A LAND RESIDENT, BUT I AM A, UH, A RESIDENT OF NAMELESS ROAD.

AND I'M JUST CURIOUS, UH, I MEAN, I THINK WE NEED ROAD IMPROVEMENTS AND I'M, I'M NOT SPEAKING AGAINST IT, BUT I'D LIKE MORE CLARIFICATION.

I, I WASN'T UNDERSTANDING.

IT LOOKS, UH, WHENEVER 1431 CLOSES DOWN, THEN, YOU KNOW, OUR ROAD BECOMES KIND OF LIKE A, UH, YOU KNOW, A BYPASS.

YOU CAN TELL WHEN THERE'S A BAD ACCIDENT, CUZ YOU, THE, THE ROAD, THE PEOPLE KEEP COMING UP AND DOWN THE ROAD LIKE A HIGHWAY.

BUT I'M CURIOUS IS DOES IT GO ALL THE WAY TO, UH, 1431 OR DOES IT JUST STOP, YOU KNOW, PAST TRAVIS? CUZ RIGHT NOW WE'RE ON THE BRIDGE AND THE BRIDGE IS, IS IN POOR REPAIR.

I KNOW THE BRIDGE NEEDS REPLACED AND THERE'S SOME, THERE'S A DIP IN THE ROAD RIGHT WHERE THE TRAVIS, UM, THE VISO IS GONNA BE.

I WAS WONDERING IF THAT'S GONNA BE IMPROVED, THE DRAINAGE THERE.

I'M JUST CURIOUS MORE DETAILS ON, ON THAT PART OF IT.

THANK YOU, SIR.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND OPEN IT UP FOR DISCUSSION.

COMMISSIONER KOSGROW? YEAH.

UM, IT, I'LL ASK THE GENTLEMAN'S QUESTION.

SO IF YOU, IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN TO HIM, UM, HOW THAT NAMELESS COLLECTOR IS GONNA WORK.

YES.

SO, UH, NAMELESS, UH, WAS ORIGINALLY CLASSIFIED AS AN ARTERIAL ROAD THROUGH AND THROUGH, UH, CONTINUOUS AND OF HERO WAY ALL THE WAY TO 1431, UH, AFTER THE TRAFFIC, UH, COUNTS AND THE, UH, THE, THE NUMBERS WERE PUT BACK TOGETHER IN THE MODEL.

UH, THE, UM, AND, UH, WE BROKE THE SEGMENTS INTO TWO, BECAUSE TWO OF THESE SEGMENTS HAD DIFFERENT, UH, TRAFFIC CHARACTERISTICS, WHICH MEANS, UH, ONE NORTH OF ROUND MOUNTAIN AND, UH, ONE SOUTH OF ROUND MOUNTAIN, UM, I'M SORRY, ONE, UH, I MEANT, UH, ONE, UH, NORTH OF, UH, TRAVI, UH, TRUVISO PARKWAY EXTENSION AND ONE SOUTH OF TREVISO PARKWAY EXTENSION SAW DIFFERENT TYPE OF TRAFFIC PATTERNS.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP OVER THERE, YOU'LL SEE WHATEVER IS PURPLE, UH, IS, UH, GETTING MORE TRAFFIC IN THE FUTURE.

THAT'S WHY WE NEEDED TO HAVE A FOUR LANE ARTERIAL OVER THERE, UH, FOR, TO, UH, ESTABLISH THE CAPACITY.

BUT ANYTHING SOUTH OF THAT IS GETTING LESS TRAFFIC, UH, AS PER, AS PER OUR ANALYSIS AND MODELING.

SO THAT'S WHY WE ARE RECOMMENDING IT TO COME BACK TO COLLECTOR ROAD.

BUT THE CITY'S PLAN WOULD BE TO, YOU KNOW, GO AHEAD AND, UH, YOU KNOW, IN THE FUTURE DO, UH, THE ENTIRETY OF, UH, NAMELESS FROM 1431 ALL THE WAY TO HIRO WAY.

IT'S JUST GONNA BE DIFFERENT, UH, CROSS SECTIONS.

DOES THAT ANSWER THE QUESTION? UH, I CAN SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT DRAINAGE.

SO WHEN YOU SAY ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS, IT WILL BE TOGETHER WITH THE DRAINS IMPROVEMENTS AS WELL, CUZ THOSE GO TOGETHER.

SO THOSE WERE TOGETHER.

TOGETHER, RIGHT? YES.

DID, DID YOUR AND, AND THE MULTI SEGMENT IMPROVEMENTS, YEAH, YOU WILL DO, UH, EITHER A BAR DITCH OR A, UH, OR A CARBON CUTTER TYPES X AND WHERE, YOU KNOW, COLLECTING ALL THE, ALL THE STRONG WATER AND MANAGING IT PROPERLY AS PER TQ REGULATIONS AND REGULATIONS.

CAN, CAN YOU, UH, SPEAK TO THE CHANGES UP BY KAUFMAN LOOP? WHAT'S GOING ON? UM, IT'S KAUFMAN LOOP.

YES.

UH, SO KAUFMAN LOOP, UH, SAME SITUATION.

WE REDAN THE NUMBERS AND, UH, KAUFMAN LOOP BETWEEN EQUINE ROAD AND, UH, SORRY, I MEANT, UH, SIX.

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT CR 2 67? CORRECT.

WE HAVE PRESENTATION.

OKAY.

I'M SORRY, I, THIS IS MY FIRST TIME DOING THIS.

.

WHICH ONE DO WE DO? OH, THIS IS FINE.

CAN YOU GET BACK THE SAME, SAME, UH, MAP WE HAD? THAT'S FINE.

OKAY.

UH, IT'S GOT KAUFMAN MOVING IN THERE.

SO, UM, SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT CR 2 67, CR 2 67.

ORIGINALLY, ORIGINALLY WAS, UH, CLASSIFIED AS A, I BELIEVE, AS AN ARTERIAL ROAD.

UM, UH, THERE WAS A CHAIN THAT WAS PROPOSED BY THE STAFF, UH,

[00:25:01]

SO, UH, SO IT WAS PROPOSED TO COME BACK TO A COLLECTOR TYPE ROAD, UH, THROUGH AND THROUGH, UH, THE MODELS WERE NOT RUN AT THAT TIME.

IT WAS A RECOMMENDATION THAT WAS MADE BY THE, UM, PREVIOUS CITY ENGINEER.

UM, AND, UH, AFTER WE CAME BACK AND WE, WE LOOKED AT THE, THE NUMBERS, UH, THIS TIME AROUND THE NUMBERS SHOWED, UH, SOME DIFFERENT DATA, WHICH MEANS, UM, BETWEEN EQUINE ROAD AND KAUFMAN ROAD, THERE IS, UH, THAT, UM, CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC, IF YOU MAY, UH, FROM THE EAST SIDE, WHICH IS CREATING ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC TO THAT ROAD BETWEEN EQUINE AND UH, KAUFMAN LOBE.

SO THAT WAS THE REASON WHY WE ARE, UH, SUGGESTING OR RECOMMENDING TO CHANGE IT BACK TO AN ARTERIAL FOUR LANE ROAD.

UH, BUT THAT'S ONLY FOR THAT STRETCH.

THE REST OF IT IS, IS FINE WITH THE COLLECTOR ROAD AS THE NEW MODEL WAS SWAYING.

THANK YOU.

I MAY HAVE, UH, I MAY HAVE MORE.

ANY OPINION? THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER MAY.

I'M GOOD.

THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER OLIVER.

UM, SO MY, MY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CRYSTAL FALLS PARKWAY EXTENSION, I KNOW THAT'S KIND OF CONTINGENT ALSO ON DEVELOPMENT APPROVED ALONG THAT CORRIDOR, BUT, UM, THE, THE COUNTY DOESN'T, THE COUNTY OWN COUNTY ROAD, UH, 1 75, ARE THEY RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT ROADWAY? AND IT'S, AND IT'S IMPROVEMENTS? SO 1 75 A PART OF IT IS CITY AND PART OF IT IS COUNTY.

OUR PLAN FOR 1 75 IS TO MAKE THAT A FOUR LANE ARTERIAL ROAD.

RIGHT, I SEE THAT HERE.

OKAY.

THAT'S SO, YES.

OKAY, SO THAT'S GONNA BE FOUR.

SO, SO CAN YOU WALK ME THROUGH WHY, SO IF CRYSTAL FALLS CURRENTLY BETWEEN LIKE RONALD REAGAN AND, AND ONE A THREE A IS FOUR LANES MM-HMM.

, WHY, UM, WHY, WHY SIX LANES BETWEEN BETWEEN 1 75 AND, AND RONALD REAGAN? SO RONALD REAGAN HAS BEEN THE MAJOR, IT'S A MAJOR, UH, ARTERIAL ROAD OVER THERE.

MM-HMM.

AND, UH, AND WHEN, YOU KNOW, WE WERE LOOKING AT THE ENTIRETY OF CRYSTAL FALLS ORIGINALLY FROM THIS, THE EAST, WEST SIDE TO THE EAST SIDE, ALL THE WAY, THE SEGMENTS WERE NOT BROKEN, UH, INTO PIECES WHERE WE ARE LOOKING AT ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC COMING IN FROM RONALD REAGAN THAT ENTER INTO 1 75.

SO NOW THAT SEGMENT WAS BROKEN DOWN AND, UH, AND THAT, SO THE NEED FOR, UH, THAT TO BE A SIX LANE FOR THAT STRETCH INSTEAD OF THE FOUR LANE.

SO ARE THERE, ARE THERE INTENTIONS TO ALSO, I GUESS, POTENTIALLY EXPAND RONALD REAGAN WEST OF, I MEAN, I'M SORRY, CRYSTAL FALLS WEST OF RONALD REAGAN TO SIX LANES.

IS THAT, THAT'S, IS THAT ABOUT AS WELL? THAT'S, THIS MEANS, SO THE SIXTH LANE THAT THIS IS PROPOSING IS GONNA BE, UM, EAST, SORRY, YOU SAID WEST IT'S EAST.

YEAH.

SO IT'S EAST OF RONALD REAGAN BETWEEN RONALD REAGAN AND 1 75.

RIGHT.

SO, SO IT'S STILL THE MASTER PLAN AS, AS IF, UH, AS IT SPEAKS RIGHT NOW, EVEN AFTER THE CHAINS OVER HERE, UH, WEST OF RONALD REAGAN WOULD STILL BE, UH, FOUR LANE RIGHT HERE.

OKAY.

SO CRYSTAL BALLS IS GONNA STAY FOUR LANES, RIGHT? WEST OF RONALD REAGAN? YES.

OKAY.

SO IT, THIS ONE IS PROPOSED TO BE PAST, UH, CRYSTAL FALLS.

GOT IT.

I'M SORRY.

RONALD REAGAN.

ALRIGHT.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

COMMISSIONER CARPENTER? NO, I'M GOOD WITH ALL THESE.

OKAY.

COMMISSIONER KOG GROVE.

OKAY.

AND CUZ I HAVE NOTHING, SO THAT, THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANT.

SO, UH, ALL RIGHT.

THIS IS, UH, ACTION ITEM MOTION TO APPROVE.

UH, SECOND, A MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER MAY, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER OLIVER.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

UH, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE IDENTIFIED OLD TOWN AS A HIGH PRIORITY TOPIC AND STRESSED THE NEED TO CREATE A CLEAR VISION FOR OLD TOWN.

OLD TOWN AS A DESTINATION WAS ALSO LISTED AS ONE OF THE KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THE PUBLIC OUTREACH SURVEYS CONDUCTED DURING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, UH, CITY COUNCIL DIRECTED STAFF TO ISSUE AN RFQ AND COUNCIL APPROVED A CONTRACT WITH KIMLEY HORN, UH, TO PREPARE THE OLD TOWN MASTER PLAN STAFF WORKED WITH KIMLEY HORN TO COMPILE A LIST OF COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE UP THE OLD TOWN ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

UH, THERE WERE TWO COMMUNITY MEETINGS, UH, ONE IN AUGUST AND ONE IN OCTOBER.

UH, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE OLD TOWN MASTER PLAN.

THANK YOU, MR. CHENOWSKI, CONSULTANT PRESENTATION.

HI, I'M JAY GUT KOONS WITH KIMLEY HORN.

GOOD TO SEE MANY OF YOU AGAIN.

UM, UM, FIRST OFF, WANTED TO SAY THANKS A LOT, UH, TO STAFF AS WELL AS THE 19 MEMBER ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

UM, THEY WERE VERY HELPFUL IN THIS PROCESS, UM, AND WE HOPE THAT, UH, THEY FEEL, UH, THAT THEIR VOICES WERE HEARD AND THAT, UH, SOME OF THOSE THINGS ARE SHOWING UP IN THE PLAN.

UM, I'M EXCITED TO PRESENT TO YOU GUYS, UH, TONIGHT A LITTLE BIT OF AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT'S IN THE DOCUMENT.

I WILL NOT COVER ALL 80 PAGES OR 99 PAGES, I BELIEVE, IF YOU LOOK AT THE PDF LIMIT.

UM, BUT I DO WANNA GIVE KIND OF AN OVERVIEW OF SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS.

UM, SO WE'LL GO THROUGH SOME OF THAT.

UM, I'LL TALK A LOT ABOUT THE, UM, FRAMEWORK PLAN AND SOME OF THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN CHAPTERS AS WELL AS PARKING.

I KNOW THAT'S ONE OF THE TOPICS THAT WAS, I'LL CALL IT THE HOTTEST TOPIC, UH, IN THIS PROCESS.

SO I'M GONNA COVER SOME OF THAT AND SOME EXCITING THINGS THERE, INCLUDING SOME EARLY OUT QUICK WIN IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE THINK ARE, UH, IN, IN THE WORKS ALREADY, WHICH IS EXCITING.

UM, SO AS FAR AS THE REPORT GOES, UH, AS TO COVER THE REPORT, UH, THE LATEST DRAFT IS, UH, AS OF LAST THURSDAY, MAY 4TH.

UM, THERE'S SIX CHAPTERS IN THE PLAN.

UH, THE FIRST TWO CHAPTERS GO OVER.

UM, WHAT KINDA LED TO THIS PLAN? SOME OF THE STUFF MICHAEL COVERED, UH, FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS, AS AN ACTION FROM THAT, AS WELL AS SOME ELEMENTS OF THE, THIS PARTICULAR AREA OF LEANDER.

UM, IT'S ALSO GOT A CHAPTER WITH A, A VISION STATEMENT THAT'S ALSO PACED HERE ON THE SCREEN.

I'LL READ IT OUT.

UM, THIS WAS THE VISION STATEMENT, CRAFTED FOR THE OLD TOWN.

UH, OLD TOWN LEANDER IS ANCHORED BY ITS REAL TOWN HERITAGE AND NEIGHBORHOOD CONNECTIONS IN 2050.

[00:35:01]

UM, SO THAT'S KIND OF ONE OF THOSE, THE, THE, THE VISION.

AND THERE'S SEVERAL GUIDING PRINCIPLES AS WELL, UH, IN THE DOCUMENT IN THOSE CHAPTERS.

UM, I'M GONNA SPEND A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME, LIKE I SAID, ON THE FRAMEWORK PLAYING ITSELF, UH, AND ALSO TALK ABOUT THOSE CHARACTER DISTRICTS.

UH, AND THEN THE IMPLEMENTATION TOOLKIT, WHICH HAS A LOT OF CHARTS AND ACTION ITEMS. UH, AT THE BACK OF THAT.

UM, SOME HIGHLIGHTS FOR ENGAGEMENT.

UM, THAT'S ME.

UH, I WOULD HAVE TO GO DO THE OLD STREET, UH, FESTIVAL BACK IN, UH, UM, OLDTOWN STREET FESTIVAL, SORRY, BACK IN JUNE OF LAST YEAR.

UH, WE GOT SOME GOOD FEEDBACK ABOUT, UM, KIND OF THE, THE, THE LOOK AND FEEL OF OLDTOWN AT THAT EVENT.

UM, SO WE HAD A LOT OF FOLKS KIND OF GIVING US, UH, FEEDBACK ON THAT AND WHAT KINDS OF THINGS THEY'D LIKE TO SEE.

UM, YOU'LL SEE THAT IN THE RECOMMENDATIONS ABOUT PREDOMINANTLY ONE STORY WITH SOME TWO STORY, UH, IN TRANSITIONAL, UH, AS WELL AS KEEPING THAT OLD, UH, HISTORIC FIELD WAS PRETTY, UH, RESOUNDING, UH, COMMENT WE GOT FROM FOLKS.

UH, AND THEN WE DEFINITELY HEARD A LOT ABOUT, UM, WANTING KIND OF MORE RESTAURANTS AND DINING AND PARKS AND OPEN SPACE.

SO HOPEFULLY YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF THAT IN THE DRAFT PLAN.

UH, COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS.

UM, I, YOU LOOK CLOSELY, YOU CAN SEE ME IN THERE , BUT, UH, WE HAD A COUPLE OF THOSE WITH THE, THE, UH, ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

UH, AND GOT TO GO THROUGH SOME OF THE, WHAT WE CALL THE IDENTIFYING KIND OF NEEDS AND GETTING PREFERENCES ON THE FIRST ONE, AND THEN KIND OF SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE SECOND ONE.

UH, WE ALSO HAD, UH, AN ONLINE COMPONENT TO THIS.

WE GOT A LOT OF GOOD FEEDBACK ONLINE, UH, THROUGH A WEBSITE THAT WE RAN, UM, THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS TO GET FEEDBACK AS WELL.

SOME OF THE KEY TAKEAWAYS, UM, AS MICHAEL MENTIONED ALSO OUT OF THE, THE COMP PLAN REINFORCED, UM, WE WANTED TO, OUR FOLKS WANTED OLD TOWN TO BE A UNIQUE AND DISTINCT DESTINATION.

I LIKE THE WORD DISTINCT CUZ THERE'S OTHER DEVELOPMENTS NEARBY.

WE WANT IT TO BE DISTINCT AND SEPARATE.

UM, I WON'T NAME NAMES, UM, BUT WE ALSO WANTED TO, TO HAVE THAT SMALL TOWN FEEL AND, AND ENHANCE THE HISTORICAL ELEMENT THAT'S THERE.

UM, IN, IN THIS AREA OF TOWN PARKING WAS BROUGHT UP OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

I'LL GET INTO THAT IN MORE DETAIL, IN A SECOND HERE.

UM, AND THEN, UH, SOME OTHER THINGS WAS TO MAKE SURE IT'S A WALKABLE URBAN ENVIRONMENT, SO KIND OF ENHANCING ON THE WORK THAT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE ON THINGS LIKE BRUSHY STREET, UH, CONTINUE THAT TO GET, TO HAVE IT BE A WALKABLE SPACE.

A LOT OF THE ROADS DON'T HAVE, UH, SIDEWALKS IN SOME OF THE AREAS.

UM, AND SO WORKING THROUGH THAT, UH, AND THEN AND CONNECTING TO SOME OF THE, UH, NEARBY NATURAL FEATURES LIKE BRUSHY CREEK WITH TRAILS AND PARKS.

UM, AND THEN LASTLY, TO DIVERSIFY THE LANE USES, UH, WITHIN OLD TOWN ITSELF, UM, FROM WHAT IS THERE TODAY TO PROMOTE ACTIVITY AND, AND GENERATE ACT, UM, FOLKS COMING INTO TOWN.

AS FAR AS THE FRAMEWORK PLANE GOES, UM, THESE ARE WHERE THOSE CHARACTER DISTRICTS, THIS IS WHAT I LIKE TO CALL THE KIND OF ALL IN ONE MAP.

THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF ON HERE.

UM, SO THE FOUR, FOUR AREAS OF TOWN IS THE, THE CORE THAT'S BOUND BY BROAD STREET, WEST STREET, SOUTH STREET, AND 180 3.

WE HAVE THE EAST SIDE CALLED RAILWAY EAST.

UH, AND IT HAS SOME, SOME THEMATIC THINGS THERE AROUND TRYING TO INTEGRATE WITH THE RAILROAD THAT'S ON THE EAST SIDE OF 180 3.

UM, AND THEN WE HAVE OLDTOWN NORTH, WHICH IS NORTH OF BROAD STREET.

UH, AND THEN THE TRANSITIONAL AREAS, WHICH I LIKE TO CALL THE FINGERS OF OLDTOWN KIND OF STICKING OUT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE A HAND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT.

UM, AND JUST AS A NOTE THAT THE TRANSITIONAL ARE THE ONLY AREAS THAT WEREN'T IN THE ORIGINAL PLAT, WHICH WAS BOUND BY EAST, WEST AND, UH, SOUTH AND THE, THE, THE CREEK TO THE NORTH.

UM, ON THIS ONE, THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF, UH, GATEWAYS, WHICH YOU'LL SEE WITH LIKE THE LITTLE STAR LOGOS.

UM, THE STREET RECOMMENDATIONS THEMSELVES, TRAILS, UH, AND OTHER ELEMENTS ON HERE.

UH, IN TERMS OF THINGS THAT ARE IN THE FRAMEWORK PLAN, UM, THIS ACTUALLY HAS URBAN STREET SECTIONS, AND THAT IS ONE OF THE, THE ACTIONS RECOMMENDED OUTTA THE PLAN IS TO, UH, INCORPORATE THOSE, UH, INTO OTHER CITY DOCUMENTS, UM, WITH SOME MORE SPECIFIED, UH, URBAN STANDARDS.

UM, IN ADDITION, UH, THERE'S A LOT MORE DETAIL ON OPPORTUNITIES FOR TRAILS PARKS, UH, AND THEN, UH, I'LL CALL 'EM SIDE PATHS OR SHARED USE PATHS, UH, ALONG CERTAIN ROADWAYS.

UM, AGAIN, THE GATEWAY OPPORTUNITIES, THESE ARE WAYS TO KIND OF CREATE, UH, A SENSE OF PLACE, UH, AS, AS PEOPLE COME IN TO KNOW THAT IT'S A NEW UNIQUE DISTRICT, INCLUDING THINGS LIKE THE, UM, PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE OVER 180 3 THAT'S RECOMMENDED OVER AT BROAD STREET.

UH, AND THEN AS WELL AS SOME OTHER IDENTITY NODES.

UH, SPECIFICALLY ON BROAD STREET, YOU'LL NOTICE THERE'S SOME ICONS ON HERE.

UH, IN THE REPORT THERE WAS SIX KIND OF CATEGORICAL AREAS OR THEMES.

THOSE ALL, UH, HAVE THEIR OWN ACTION ANALYSTS IN THE LAST CHAPTER, AS WELL AS EACH OF THOSE DISTRICTS I MENTIONED ALSO HAS SPECIFIC ACTIONS WITHIN EACH DISTRICT.

SO WHETHER YOU'RE THINKING OF IT FROM A, A ZONAL OR GEOGRAPHIC STANDPOINT OR A TOPICAL STANDPOINT, WE HAVE THE, THE ACTIONS IN THERE FOR THAT.

SO, PARKING, LET'S TALK ABOUT PARKING .

UM, THIS, I LIKE TO SAY IS, IS KIND OF THE, THE SUM OF A LOT OF THE ANALYTICAL KIND OF COMPONENT OF IT.

WHAT RELATIVE TO THE, UH, THE DEMANDS, UH, METRICS THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT VERSUS THE, THE ACTUAL SUPPLY THAT EXISTS TODAY.

YOU'LL NOTICE THERE'S A, A DEFICIENCY RIGHT NOW IN THE CORE AREA OF OLD TOWN, UM, WHERE THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A SURPLUS IN SOME OTHER AREAS.

AND THEN NEARING EQUILIBRIUM.

UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS KIND OF THE BIG TAKEAWAY FROM A REGULATORY STANDPOINT IS, UM, SINCE THERE ARE NO, UH, PARKING MINIMUMS OR, OR REQUIREMENTS, UM, DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE COMING IN AREN'T HAVING TO NECESSARILY BUILD NEW PARKING.

AND SO THE, THE PARKING INFRASTRUCTURE'S FIXED UNLESS IT'S ADDED TO STREETS OR THROUGH THINGS LIKE A STRUCTURED TYPE ELEMENT.

UM, AND SO WE'RE AT, WE'RE GETTING ON

[00:40:01]

IN SOME AREAS IT'S FELT MORE THAN OTHERS.

THERE'S LIKE IN THE CORE, UH, WHERE YOU HAVE A LOT OF YOUR, UH, BAR AND RESTAURANT TYPE STUFF OVER HERE NEXT DOOR.

UM, THOSE ARE PLACES WHERE THE, THE SUPPLIES IS NOT, UH, ADEQUATE IN SOME PLACES.

AND SO, UM, AS IT WAS WITH, UH, EXCUSE ME WITH THAT, SOME OF THE ACTION ITEMS OF THIS, UM, ONE I DIDN'T HAVE ON HERE WAS, WAS LOOKING AT SHARED PARKING.

BUT, UM, PART OF THE ILLUSTRATIVE PLAN, UH, THAT YOU'LL SEE IN THERE HAS A LOT OF THE ADDITIONAL PARKING ALONG ALL OF THE STREETS.

UM, AND LOOKING AT THOSE STREET SECTIONS AS WELL.

UM, JUST KIND OF SOME QUICK, UM, NOTES ON SOUTH STREET ITSELF, LOOKING AT ADDING PARALLEL PARKING, THAT'S BETWEEN ABOUT 40 AND 50 EXTRA SPOTS.

UM, AND I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN ONE OF THE EARLY OUT PROJECTS.

AND THEN BROAD STREET ALSO HAS ON THEIR 80 OH HUNDRED SPOTS, DEPENDING ON HOW THAT ACTUALLY GETS FULLY CONFIGURED.

UM, SO THERE, THERE ARE SOME, SOME NEAR TERM THINGS TO ADDRESS THAT IN THE CORE AREA, UH, BUT REALLY LOOKING AT THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY.

UM, AND THEN IN ADDITION, GOING THROUGH MORE DETAILED STUDY ON THE FEASIBILITY OF THE GARAGE, THERE WERE A COUPLE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS IDENTIFIED IN THE PLANNING PROCESS.

UM, BUT THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE ACTUALLY SELECTING SITES AND, AND KIND OF LOOKING AT HOW MUCH COULD BE PUT IN AND, AND COST AND THINGS LIKE THAT IN MORE DETAIL.

UM, ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY OR, OR POSSIBLE THOUGHT WOULD BE IN CERTAIN AREAS LOOKING AT, AT CHANGING THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS TO MEET THE DEMAND.

UH, AND THEN, LIKE I SAID, THE, THE SHARED PARKING AND TO EXPLAIN SHARED PARKING, THAT'S BASICALLY A CONCEPT THAT SAYS DIFFERENT USES HAVE DIFFERENT INTENSITIES IN DEMANDS AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY.
