HOLD ON, LET ME. GET THAT LITTLE. OH, THEY'RE NOT IN THERE. WE DID HAVE ONE ITEM. THE COUNCIL DID TAKE ACTION ON FORMING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE. SO THEY DID DECIDE TO ASK FOR A REPRESENTATIVE FROM SEVERAL OF THE BOARDS. AND THEN EACH COUNCIL PERSON IS GOING TO HAVE THEIR OWN APPOINTMENT. SO THAT'S ON OUR AGENDA FOR THIS EVENING. AND 
          [4. Review of meeting protocol.]

INTERESTED IN READING UP ON THAT. NEXT IS ITEM FIVE PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR ITEMS NOT LISTED ON THE AGENDA. I HAVE ONE CARD, REBECCA CUMMINGS, THAT YOU WANTED TO SPEAK. COME ON UP. 
          YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK. THANK YOU EVERYBODY. SO I'M GOING TO DO MY BEST. OKAY. 
          PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR US FIRST, AND THEN WE'LL START THE TIMER REBECCA CUMMINGS, AT TWO, THREE, THREE, THREE. BEE BALM IN LEANDER. OKAY, SO SOME OF YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW ME. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T, MY NAME IS REBECCA CUMMINGS. I'M A LOCAL BUSINESS OWNER AS WELL AS A LOCAL RESIDENT SINCE 2008, I HAVE SEEN LEANDER GO FROM 25,000 TO 95,000. WHAT FEELS LIKE VERY QUICKLY, AND I'VE ALSO SEEN RECENTLY MY FIRST REAL INVOLVEMENT. I WENT TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION MEETING THE OTHER NIGHT, AND I GOT A REAL IN-DEPTH LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENS AT THESE MEETINGS AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR COMMUNITY TO GET INVOLVED IN THESE MEETINGS. I AM HERE TO SPECIFICALLY TALK ABOUT THE SPORTS COMPLEX THAT LEANDER IS AND ISN'T AND IS AND ISN'T BUILDING AND MOVING FORWARD WITH AND NOT MOVING FORWARD WITH. I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU GUYS PLAY A FACTOR IN THAT ROLE. 
          I'M JUST HERE TO BE A VOICE FOR THE COMMUNITY. SO I'M HERE TO EXPRESS THE DIRE NEED OF ADDITIONAL RESOURCES AND LAND. IF THE LARKSPUR PARK, SAN GABRIEL PARK, PARK OR SPORTS PARK WASN'T GOING TO BE MOVING FORWARD. I'VE HEARD OTHER THINGS OR IN THE WORKING ORDER, BUT NOT NECESSARILY CAN BE DISCLOSED AT THIS POINT. ALL I KNOW IS BOND IN THAT THE 2016 SUPPORTED THE SPORTS COMPLEX, AND FOR A DECADE NOW, RESIDENTS HAVE REALLY, REALLY BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING SOMEWHERE TO GO AND TO BE PRODUCTIVE AND CONTINUE TO WATCH THE CITY GROW IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE NEED. I THINK ON THE THE BIGGEST SCALE THAT WE NEED, THAT I NEED TO DISCUSS IS THE BACK AND FORTH. AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ROLE THIS COUNCIL OR WHERE WE ALL PLAY A ROLE IN IT, BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE TRANSPARENCY, IN MY OPINION, AND WITH THE COMMUNITY THAT IS THE COMMUNITY THEMSELVES COMING TO ME AND DISCUSSING THEIR CONCERNS THAT THEY'RE NOT GETTING CLEAR COMMUNICATION FROM THE BOARD, WHOEVER'S MAKING THE DECISIONS, WHOEVER IS VOTING, WHOEVER, WHATEVER IS HAPPENING, THE COMMUNITY IS READY. WE ARE READY TO HEAR A PLAN, WHETHER THAT BE ANOTHER TEN YEAR PLAN. 
          HOPEFULLY NOT. HOPEFULLY NOT. BUT THEY DESPERATELY NEED IT. AND SO I'M HERE TO EXPRESS THAT AND HOPE TO HEAR AN UPDATE ON THAT SOON. THAT'S IT. I DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE ON MY SCRIPT, Y'ALL. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON AN ITEM? 
          [ CONSENT AGENDA: ACTION]
NOT ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT. SEEING NONE, WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA. CONSENT AGENDA ITEM SIX THROUGH TEN CAN BE PASSED WITH A SINGLE MOTION. MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND. 
          MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER OLIVER. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER COATS. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. OKAY, WELL, MOVING ON TO PUBLIC HEARING. ITEM 11.

CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING SPECIAL USE. Z250203 TO CONSIDER ACTION ON A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR USED VEHICLE SALES ON A PORTION OF A PARCEL OF LAND 0.73 ACRES IN 
          [00:05:03]
SIZE. MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED BY WILLIAMSON CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT, PARCEL R031857 AND MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS 2401 SOUTH US 183 LEANDER, WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TEXAS. STAFF PRESENTATION. HI. GOOD EVENING, KARINA CASTILLO WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. THIS REQUEST IS THE FIRST STEP IN THE ZONING PROCESS TO APPROVE A SPECIAL USE PERMIT. WE REFER TO IT AS AN SUPP. USE IS PERMITTED IN A ZONING DISTRICT. ARE CLASSIFIED IN TWO WAYS. THE FIRST TYPE OF USE IS WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS A USE PERMITTED BY RIGHT. A USE PERMITTED BY RIGHT IS ALLOWED IN THIS SPECIFIED ZONING DISTRICT, PROVIDED THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER COMPLIES WITH A SPECIFIC SPECIFIED BUILDING AND SITE REQUIREMENTS. THE SECOND TYPE OF USE IS WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS A SPECIAL USE. A SPECIAL USE PERMIT ALLOWS FOR CERTAIN LAND USES IN A GIVEN DISTRICT ZONING DISTRICT, AND GENERALLY REQUIRES MORE REVIEW BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND THE CITY COUNCIL IN ORDER TO ENSURE COMPATIBILITY OF THE PROPOSED USE WITH THE SURROUNDING LAND USES, THE APPLICANT HAS SUBMITTED A REQUEST FOR AN SCP IN ORDER TO ALLOW FOR A USED CAR DEALERSHIP ON THE PROPERTY. THIS SITE WAS PREVIOUSLY USED AS A A USED CAR DEALERSHIP KNOWN AS LEANDER AUTOMOTIVE. I REFER TO A AERIAL HERE. PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF THE CURRENT COMPOSITE ZONING ORDINANCE IN 2005 AND 2023, THE MALL ENDED OR THE DEALERSHIP ENDED THEIR OPERATIONS AT THE SITE AND LOST ITS NONCONFORMING STATUS WHEN THE USE A DIFFERENT USE BEGAN OPERATING IN ORDER FOR IT TO OPERATE A USED CAR DEALERSHIP. AT THIS TIME, IT MUST COMPLY WITH TODAY'S STANDARDS, INCLUDING THE ZONING AND UNNECESSARY SITE IMPROVEMENTS. WHILE THE SALE OF NEW VEHICLES IS ALLOWED BY RIGHT UNDER THE CURRENT ZONING OF GC FOR GENERAL COMMERCIAL, THE USED CAR DEALERSHIP IS ALLOWED WITHIN THE HEAVY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT AND WOULD TRIGGER ZONING CHANGE. THIS SCP WOULD ALLOW THE USE AS AN INTERIM USE FOR A FIVE YEAR LIMIT, WITH THE OPTION FOR AN EXTENSION AT THE END OF THE TERM, THE APPLICANT INTENDS ON REDEVELOPING THE SITE AT A LATER TIME. THE SURROUNDING AREA OF THE SITE HAS A RETAIL CENTER TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF THIS IS A STORAGE FACILITY. THE AREA TO SORRY THIS WAS TO THE SOUTH AND THE AREA TO THE NORTH IS THE IS PROPOSED AS COMMERCIAL AREA. IT'S CURRENTLY VACANT AND FURTHER WEST ARE MORE RESIDENTIAL. USES. AS PART OF THE EVALUATION OF THIS REQUEST, THE COMMISSION HAS THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS. YOU CAN APPROVE THE SCP FOR THE USED CAR DEALERSHIP FOR A FIVE YEAR PERIOD. YOU CAN DENY THE SUPP FOR THE FIVE YEAR PERIOD, OR YOU CAN APPROVE AN ALTERNATE REQUEST THAT MAY INCLUDE MODIFICATIONS TO EITHER THE TIME LIMIT, THE LIMITED HOURS OF OPERATION, INCREASED SETBACKS, ADDITIONAL SCREENING, OR INCREASED LANDSCAPING. STAFF RECOMMENDS OPTION ONE APPROVE THE SCP STAFF RECOMMENDATION BASED ON THE LIMITED TIME FRAME OF FIVE YEARS AND THE SURROUNDING USES, SUCH AS THE SELF-STORAGE FACILITY. THE SITE WILL BE REDEVELOPED AT A LATER TIME. I WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING. THANK YOU. IS THERE AN APPLICANT PRESENTATION? IS THE APPLICANT AVAILABLE FOR THE QUESTIONS OR HERE OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AT THIS TIME WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ENTER DISCUSSION. WE'LL START DOWN HERE WITH COMMISSIONER MORALES. MY QUESTION IS FOR THE CITY. DO WE KNOW? I KNOW THERE WAS A SURVEY ON THE 183 CORRIDOR. WHAT HAS THAT COME OUT YET? LIKE ALL THE RESULTS? AND DOES THIS FALL IN LINE WITH ALL THE STUDY FOR THE CORRIDOR? IT DIDN'T TALK ABOUT ZONING SPECIFICALLY. IT TALKED MORE ABOUT WHAT THE LIKE, THE TURN LANES AND SIZE OF THE ROAD AND THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT WE DIDN'T GET INTO THE SPECIFICS OF WHAT EACH PROPERTY WOULD BE DEVELOPED AS. OKAY, SO I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THIS WAS OUT OF LINE WITH WHAT THE COMMUNITY WAS HOPING TO SEE, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THAT SURVEY WAS KIND OF TAKING EVERYBODY'S TEMPERATURE TO SEE WHAT WE ENVISION THIS. AND I KNOW IT'S NOT A PERMANENT REZONING. SO THAT'S WHY I'M LEANING IN FAVOR, BECAUSE IT'S A SPECIAL USE PERMIT VERSUS A ZONING CHANGE. BUT I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANYTHING FROM THAT STUDY THAT PEOPLE WERE LIKE, NO, WE DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS TYPE OF THING. THIS WAS OKAY. DIDN'T GET INTO THAT AMOUNT OF DETAIL. OKAY. NO OTHER QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME. OKAY. COMMISSIONER LEWIS. I'M IN AGREEMENT MAINLY BECAUSE IT'S A SPECIAL USE AND IT'S LIMITED. SO AS THINGS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP WITH THE DIRECTION THAT EVERYTHING'S GOING, I THINK I'M OKAY WITH THIS. COMMISSIONER CUTS. YES, I'M IN AGREEMENT AS WELL. I SUPPORT THE SPECIAL USE CASE FOR THIS. YOU GOT MENTIONED THAT THE THE APPLICANT PLANS TO DEVELOP THE SITE LATER. DID THEY GIVE ANY INDICATION OF HOW THEY'RE GOING TO DEVELOP THE SITE LATER, OR IS IT SPECIFICALLY FOR TO ALLOW THEM TO SELL USED CARS? ESSENTIALLY IT WOULD BE JUST FOR THE FIVE 
          [00:10:04]
YEARS AND THEN LATER ON AFTER THAT THEY WOULD REDEVELOP INTO SOMETHING ELSE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU. OKAY, COMMISSIONER OLIVER, I'M GOOD WITH THIS. COMMISSIONER BRAY. NO COMMENTS FROM ME. AND I DON'T HAVE ANY COMMENTS EITHER. THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM TO HEAR. MOTION. 
          MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND MOTION BY COMMISSIONER OLIVER, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BRAY. 
          ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. OKAY. THANK YOU. NOW WE'LL MOVE ON TO REGULAR 
          [12. Discuss and consider action on Zoning Case Z-25-0196 to amend the current zoning of Interim SFR-1-B (Single-Family Rural) to SFU-2-A (Single-Family Urban) and SFC-2-A (Single-Family Compact) on one (1) parcel of land approximately 55.152 acres ± in size, more particularly described by Williamson Central Appraisal District Parcel R032246; and generally located west of Kauffman Loop approximately 300 feet south of Equine Road and CR 267 Leander, Williamson County, Texas.]
AGENDA ITEM 12. DISCUSS AND CONSIDER ACTION ON ZONING CASE C-250196 TO AMEND THE CURRENT ZONING OF INTERIM FR ONE B TO SFU, TWO A AND SFK TWO A ON ONE PARCEL OF LAND, APPROXIMATELY 55.152 ACRES IN SIZE, DESCRIBED ON THE AGENDA. GENERALLY LOCATED WEST OF COFFMAN LOOP, APPROXIMATELY 300FT SOUTH OF EQUINE ROAD AND COUNTY ROAD TWO. 67 LEANDER, WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TEXAS. STAFF PRESENTATION. GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS MICHAEL CHUDNOFSKY, PLANNING DEPARTMENT. 
          SO THIS REQUEST IS THE FIRST STEP IN THE ZONING PROCESS. AS A REMINDER, THE APPLICANT HAS SUBMITTED A PETITION FOR ANNEXATION, WHICH WILL BE HEARD BY CITY COUNCIL CONCURRENTLY WITH THEIR ZONING CHANGE REQUEST. THE PROPOSAL DOES COMPLY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND IS APPROPRIATE FOR PROPERTIES LOCATED WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL LAND USE CATEGORY, AS IDENTIFIED IN THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP. HOWEVER, THE CURRENT WATER RESOLUTION PRIORITIZES LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL REZONINGS. THE ORIGINALLY REQUESTED SINGLE FAMILY, URBAN, SINGLE FAMILY COMPACT AND SINGLE FAMILY LIMITED USE COMPONENTS WOULD BE CONSIDERED HIGHER DENSITY AND NOT SUPPORTED BY THE WATER RESOLUTION. DURING THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING ON FEBRUARY 12TH, THE COMMISSION DELAYED ACTION ON THIS CASE TO ALLOW THE APPLICANT TO WORK WITH STAFF ON AN AMENDMENT TO THE REQUEST TO REDUCE THE PROPOSED DENSITY. THE APPLICANT WAS AMENABLE TO REMOVING THE SINGLE FAMILY LIMITED ZONING DISTRICT FROM THE ZONING REQUEST, AND RECONFIGURED THE PROPOSED LAYOUT TO BETTER ACCOMMODATE A BUFFER BETWEEN THE SMALLER LOTS AND THE LARGER LOTS. AS PART OF THIS EVALUATION OF THIS REQUEST, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HAS THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS. OPTION ONE APPROVE THE PROPOSED ZONING REQUEST. OPTION TWO IS TO DENY THE PROPOSED ZONING REQUEST, AND OPTION THREE IS TO APPROVE AN ALTERNATIVE REQUEST, WHICH WOULD MODIFY THE USE COMPONENTS TO COMPLY WITH THE CURRENT WATER RESOLUTION. THIS WOULD ALTER ZONING DISTRICTS TO SINGLE FAMILY, RURAL, SINGLE FAMILY ESTATE OR SINGLE FAMILY SUBURBAN. AND WE DO HAVE AN UPDATED APPLICANT PRESENTATION. SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND LOAD THAT UP. THANK YOU. ENGINEERING. GOOD EVENING. COMMISSIONERS MARK BAKER WITH SCC PLANNING HERE THIS EVENING WITH SENIOR LEADERSHIP FROM PULTE HOMES, BRIAN BILL RYAN AND BEN OSGOOD AS WELL. SO WANT TO START OUT BY SAYING, JUST THANK YOU FOR HAVING US BACK AND GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR YOUR FEEDBACK AND AND TRY TO REACT TO THAT. SO WE TRIED TO APPLY THE THE COMMENTS THAT YOU GAVE US AT OUR LAST MEETING A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. IF YOU'LL REMEMBER, WE TALKED THROUGH THE PROJECT AND WE HAD THREE DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATIONS. WE HAD THE SFL, WHICH ARE 45 FOOT LOTS, THE SFC WHICH ARE 50, AND THE SF U WHICH ARE 60, HEARD A LOT OF COMMENTS AND CONCERNS FROM A NUMBER OF YOU ABOUT THE SFL, THE SMALLER CATEGORY AND ITS APPROPRIATENESS IN THIS AREA. ALSO HEARD, I BELIEVE, MR. OLIVER, YOU HAD A CONCERN ABOUT NOT NECESSARILY JUST CONVERTING THE SFL DIRECTLY TO SFC, BUT TRYING TO LOOK FOR A BETTER BALANCE BETWEEN THE TWO. AND SO WE TOOK THAT INTO ACCOUNT. WE ALSO TOOK INTO ACCOUNT WHETHER THERE WAS A COMMENT ABOUT TRYING TO HAVE THE LARGER LOTS ADJACENT TO THE RURAL AROUND THE PERIMETER, SO WE TOOK THAT INTO ACCOUNT AS WELL. SO JUST WANT TO PRESENT SOME OF THOSE THINGS TO YOU. AND, AND WE'RE WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT THIS ACHIEVES A MIDDLE GROUND BETWEEN WHAT THE BUILDER WOULD LIKE TO DO IN THE COMMUNITY AND WHAT'S ACCEPTABLE TO YOU GUYS. 
          AND I CAN REFRESH ANY OF THE OTHER PRESENTATION MATERIAL FROM A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. WE TALKED ABOUT TIMING AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS IF YOU NEED, BUT THIS EVENING I JUST HAVE A HANDFUL OF SLIDES JUST TO WALK YOU THROUGH, YOU KNOW, THE CHANGES THAT WE MADE. AND SO LIKE I MENTIONED, YOU CAN SEE ON THIS EXHIBIT THIS KIND OF A BEFORE AND AFTER. SO WE HAD THE SFL ON THE EASTERN PART OF THE PROPERTY ALONG 267 WITH SFC IN THE MIDDLE AND SF TO KIND OF WRAP AROUND THE NORTH AND THE WEST SIDE. AND SO IT WAS A LIGHTING PLAN THAT HAD ABOUT 204 UNITS IN IT, WITH THE MIX OF THE 4550S AND 60S. SO THE CHANGES THAT WE'RE PROPOSING 
          [00:15:04]
NOW IS WE'VE WE'VE SPLIT THE PROPERTY INTO JUST TWO CATEGORIES, SF AND SFC. AND SO WE'VE GOT 28 ACRES OF THE SFU, WHICH ARE THE 60S AND ABOUT 26 ACRES OF THE SFC. SO FROM A ACREAGE STANDPOINT ON THE PROPERTY, WE'RE A LITTLE HEAVIER ON THE SFU, BUT ABOUT BALANCED OF A 50 OVER 50 ON THE LAND STANDPOINT. AND THAT THAT IMPACT TO THE LIGHTING DESIGN WAS A DECREASE IN THE TOTAL UNIT COUNT FROM 13. AND IT ALSO, AS YOU'LL SEE ON THIS PLAN, WE WENT AHEAD AND WE WRAPPED 60S ALL THE WAY AROUND THE NORTH SIDE AND THE SOUTH SIDE AT THIS POINT. AND THEN WE ADDED ANOTHER TEN ACRES FROM THE LAST PLAN OF 60. SO AN ADDITIONAL, I BELIEVE, 2860S FROM THE LAND, FROM THE LAND PLAN BEFORE. AND SO AGAIN HERE WITH THE LOCAL TEAM FOR PULTE. AND WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND AND HEAR YOUR FEEDBACK, BUT HOPEFULLY APPRECIATE THAT WE WERE LISTENING AND AND HOPEFULLY WE ADDRESSED YOUR CONCERNS AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE THIS EVENING. SO THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. OKAY, SINCE THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING, IT'S AN WE'LL START WITH DISCUSSION AND START DOWN WITH COMMISSIONER BRAY. I DON'T REALLY HAVE VERY MANY COMMENTS OR ANYTHING TO SAY, JUST TO SAY THANK YOU FOR LISTENING AND AND WILLING TO GO BACK AND AND LOOK AND SEE, SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO AND TO COME TO A COMPROMISE. AND I'M INTERESTED TO HEAR WHAT OTHER MEMBERS HAVE HAVE TO SAY. BUT JUST TO THANK YOU FOR THAT. THE ONE CLARIFICATION I WANTED TO KNOW, SO HOW MANY, HOW MANY LOTS WERE THERE THE IN THE FIRST TIME? HOW MANY ARE THERE NOW AND THEN. WHAT'S THEIR DISTRIBUTION? I JUST IT WASN'T 100% CLEAR WHEN YOU WERE TALKING. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ABSOLUTELY. THERE WERE 204 TOTAL UNITS ON THE LAST PLAN. THERE'S 191. NOW, FROM A MIX STANDPOINT, I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT MY GLASSES. LET'S SEE. WE HAD. 5460 BEFORE AND WE'RE AT 8260 NOW OKAY. WE HAD. WELL I APOLOGIZE, I THINK WE HAD 81. AND GUYS, HELP ME OUT. BEN, YOU GOT BETTER EYES THAN ME. HELP ME READ. YOU'RE GOOD, I GOT YOU. I'LL TAP YOU OUT. SO NOW WE HAVE 56% 50 AND AND 44% 60S VERSUS BEFORE THERE WAS 26% 60S AND ALMOST 30% 45. SO APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER OLIVER. YEAH, I'LL ECHO MY FELLOW COMMISSIONER SENTIMENT. YOU KNOW, FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. APPRECIATE YOU ALL LISTENING. WHAT I SEE HERE, I REALLY DIDN'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS ABOUT IT IS PRETTY MUCH WHAT I, YOU KNOW, I WAS HOPING FOR. I KNOW THE WATER RESOLUTIONS IN PLACE, THAT SORT OF POINT OF CONTENTION. THAT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING COUNCIL WILL HAVE TO ADDRESS WHEN YOU ALL GO THERE. 
          BUT AS I AS I SAID BEFORE, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T JUST KEEP APPROVING 70 FOOT LOTS AN ACRE LOTS FOR FOR HOUSING IN THIS COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE HAVE TO FIND AFFORDABILITY STILL. AND, YOU KNOW, I LIVE ON A 50 FOOT LOT IN NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S GOT 50S, 60S AND 70S. SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT'S APPROPRIATE HERE. I THINK WE DO NEED TO ALLOW FOR THAT KIND OF CONSTRUCTION, BECAUSE WE DO NEED THE INVENTORY AND THAT HELPS BRING PRICES DOWN. THERE'S A WHOLE NOTHER DEVELOPMENT GOING ON RONALD REAGAN THAT WAS APPROVED YEARS AGO THAT'S JUST STARTING TO PUT ROADS IN. SO, YOU KNOW, I JUST DON'T THINK WE NEED TO JUST CONTINUE TO SLOW THIS DOWN BECAUSE OF THE WATER RESOLUTION. AND I THINK WHEN YOU DO START CONSTRUCTION, A LOT OF THAT WATER CONCERNS ARE GOING TO BE ADDRESSED. AND AS I'VE AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, A LOT OF OUR WATER ISSUES IS NOT JUST A WATER ISSUE, IT'S A IT'S A CENTRAL TEXAS OR A STATEWIDE ISSUE THAT THE ENTIRE AREA IS GOING TO HAVE TO ADDRESS LONG TERM, NOT JUST US. AND I THINK THERE'S OTHER PEOPLE AND OTHER POWERS AT PLAY THAT WILL DEAL WITH THAT. THAT'S BEYOND US AS WELL. 
          SO ONCE AGAIN, I THINK Y'ALL DID A GREAT JOB. IT LOOKS LIKE A NICE DEVELOPMENT. SO YEAH, WITH THAT I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS. Y'ALL DID EXACTLY WHAT WE ASKED FOR. SO THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER COATES. NO COMMENT. COMMISSIONER LEWIS. THANK YOU I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. AND I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS. APPRECIATE WHAT Y'ALL DID, COMMISSIONER MORALES. YEAH I ECHO EVERYBODY ELSE. AND THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING RESPONSIVE AND HEARING WHAT THE COMMISSION HAD TO SAY. YOU KNOW, THE DESIGN. YOU KNOW, Y'ALL DID ADDRESS THE NEIGHBORS. I THINK YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB AT TRYING TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS AND SHOW THAT YOU WANT TO BE PART OF THE COMMUNITY AND RESPECT YOUR NEIGHBORS. SO YOU'VE DONE EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE ASKED, AND I THINK IT HOPEFULLY SHOULD LOOK. THANK YOU. AND THE ONLY COMMENTS THAT I HAVE TO MAKE AS AS YOU KNOW, I WAS ON THE SIDE THAT WANTED TO STICK WITH THE WATER RESOLUTION LAST TIME BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT'S COUNCIL'S PREROGATIVE TO 
          [00:20:04]
OVERRIDE THEIR OWN RESOLUTION. AND THAT'S REALLY THE ONLY PROBLEM I STILL HAVE WITH IT, SINCE ALL OF THESE CATEGORIES ARE STILL NOT IN THEIR RESOLUTION. AND, YOU KNOW, THE UNITS WENT DOWN BY, WHAT, 913? SO WE'RE ONLY 13 HOOKUPS LESS THAN THAN WHAT IT WAS BEFORE AT THIS DENSITY. SO BUT I, I KNOW THAT I'M IN THE MINORITY HERE, BUT THAT'S JUST WHERE, WHERE MY VOTE IS GOING TO FROM IS JUST STRICTLY ABOUT THE WATER RESOLUTION. SO ANYWAY, THANK WE DO APPRECIATE YOU REWORKING THIS AND COMING BACK AND AND BEING PATIENT WITH US. 
          SO DO I HEAR A MOTION ON THIS GUYS MOTION. I'LL SECOND OKAY. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER MORALES TO APPROVE SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER OLIVER. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. AND JUST ME OPPOSED. 
          SO IT'S ONE ONE. NO, JUST ABOUT THE WATER RESOLUTION. THANK YOU. OKAY, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 
          [13. Discuss and consider action on selecting a Planning & Zoning Commissioner to serve as a member of the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC).]
NUMBER 13 AND DISCUSS AND CONSIDER ACTION ON SELECTING A PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSIONER TO SERVE AS A MEMBER OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE. STAFF PRESENTATION. THE CITY CHARTER REQUIRES THE CITY TO PREPARE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND CONSIDER POTENTIAL AMENDMENTS EVERY FIVE YEARS. THE LAST MAJOR UPDATE OCCURRED IN 2020. TO BEGIN THE NEXT UPDATE, THE COUNCIL HAS APPROVED A CONTRACT WITH CANDIDA YEAST COLLABORATIVE TO LEAD THE PROCESS. AS PART OF THIS EFFORT, A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE WILL BE ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE COMMUNITY INPUT THROUGHOUT THE PLANNING PROCESS. THE CPC MEMBERS WILL SERVE AS COMMUNITY AMBASSADORS, SHARING INFORMATION WITHIN THEIR NETWORKS AND AS STRATEGIC ADVISORS WHO OFFER LOCAL INSIGHT AND PERSPECTIVE. WHILE CPC WILL NOT MAKE DECISIONS OR PROVIDE TECHNICAL INPUT, ITS ROLE IS ESSENTIAL IN SHAPING THE PRIORITIES AND GUIDING THE PLAN'S DIRECTION. THE COMMITTEE WILL MEET FIVE TIMES DURING THE PROJECT TO IDENTIFY ISSUES, EVALUATE NEEDS, ASSIST IN SETTING PRIORITIES, AND REVIEW PRELIMINARY AND FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS. MEMBERS ARE EXPECTED TO REVIEW MATERIALS PROVIDED IN ADVANCE AND COME PREPARED TO THOSE MEETINGS TO OFFER CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK. 
          INPUT SHOULD REFLECT LONG TERM VISION 10 TO 20 YEARS AND CONSIDER CITYWIDE IMPACTS RELATED TO GROWTH, INFRASTRUCTURE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. CPC WILL INCLUDE REPRESENTATIVES FROM ACROSS THE COMMUNITY WHO CAN COMMIT TO REGULAR PARTICIPATION. EACH MEETING IS EXPECTED TO LAST APPROXIMATELY TWO HOURS, WITH ADDITIONAL TIME FOR REVIEWING MATERIAL AS NEEDED. THE MEMBERS WILL WORK TOGETHER TO DETERMINE THE MEETING TIME, BUT IT WILL EITHER BE DURING THE WORKDAY OR THE EVENINGS, AND WE HAVE A PRELIMINARY SCHEDULE BELOW. I DID WANT TO MAKE AN UPDATE TO THAT FIRST MEETING. IT'LL MOST LIKELY BE APRIL 20TH THROUGH 22 BETWEEN THOSE DATES, NOT THE MARCH DATE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO WHAT? AND ONE OF THE THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND IS THIS IS EVEN IF WE ONLY HAVE ONE PERSON THAT REPRESENTS US, IT STILL COMES BACK THROUGH US FOR DISCUSSION BECAUSE IT'S A COMP PLAN CHANGE. SO I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT OUR CHAIRMAN REPRESENT US. HE'S NOT HERE TONIGHT, BUT CHAIRMAN CHAIRMAN MEHAN REPRESENT THE COMMISSION UNLESS SOMEONE ELSE HAS A DIFFERENT IDEA ABOUT THAT. MY MY ONLY TAKE WOULD BE I MEAN, I WOULD CERTAINLY LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THAT AS WELL, BECAUSE I KNOW I THINK COMMISSIONER I MEAN, COMMISSION CHAIRMAN HAS PROBABLY BEEN ON THAT COMMITTEE BEFORE AND I DON'T KNOW. OR IS THIS THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE DONE A CPC COMMITTEE? SO DURING THE 2020 IT WAS ANNETTE SPONSELLER. OKAY. GOT IT. ALL RIGHT. SO THEN, YEAH, I MEAN, I'M I'M FINE WITH THAT. OTHERWISE I WAS GOING TO RECOMMEND, YOU KNOW, COMMISSIONER MORALES WOULD BE MY OTHER OPTION IF HE'S IF HE'S INTERESTED, I WOULD BE INTERESTED. AND ACTUALLY, ONE OF THE REASONS I JOINED THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION WAS TO HELP ADD VALUABLE INPUT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. YOU KNOW, MY BACKGROUND IS ARCHITECTURE. I NERD OUT IN, IN URBAN DESIGN. SO I REALLY THINK THAT THIS IS SOMETHING WHERE I COULD ADD A LOT OF VALUE TO THE TEAM. AND DEFINITELY SEEING WHAT WE SEE ON THE COMMISSION, YOU KNOW, WHEN IT WE'RE SEEING REPETITIVE THINGS COMING UP FOR ZONING CHANGES. AND DEFINITELY IN LEANDER CENTRAL, THERE'S A FEW GAPS BETWEEN SMART CODE, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND I REALLY WOULD HOPE TO SEE SOME OF THOSE GAPS BE A LITTLE BIT MORE CONNECTED THAT WAY. IT'S A LITTLE BIT EASIER FOR THE DEVELOPERS TO COME IN AND AND EVERYBODY SEES IT RIGHT NOW, AND THEY ALWAYS WANT A ZONING CHANGE WHEN WE COULD ADDRESS IT PROPERLY, UPFRONT AND BY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. SO I DON'T KNOW. DO YOU HAVE A SUGGESTION? I DO, YEAH I SUPPORT EITHER WAY WE DECIDE TO VOTE. BUT I ALSO 
          [00:25:06]
JUST RECOMMEND THAT WE ADD A ALTERNATE TO IT AS WELL, BECAUSE LIFE HAPPENS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE COVERAGE IN THE EVENT THAT THE PRIMARY CAN'T CAN ATTEND THE MEETINGS. 
          COMMISSIONER LEWIS, DID YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? NO, I'M I AM JUST LISTENING TO WHAT EVERYBODY SAYS AND I'LL TRY TO MAKE A GOOD DECISION. MR. BRAY, HOW ABOUT YOU? NOTHING ADDITIONAL TO ADD. I THINK THE FACT THAT IT COMES TO US AS WELL WILL ALLOW ALL OF US AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW AND AND TO BE A PART OF THAT WITH ANYBODY FROM, FROM THIS MEMBERSHIP ON COMMITTEE WOULD, WOULD BE GREAT. SO ANYBODY WOULD BE FINE WITH ME. WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO NOMINATE COMMISSIONER MORALES SECOND. 
          OKAY. MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER OLIVER, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LEWIS TO NOMINATE COMMISSIONER MORALES FOR THE THING. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? OKAY. DID YOU VOTE? YOU HAVE TO VOTE FOR YOURSELF. WELL, NO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO. BUT I MEAN, YEAH. COME ON. ALRIGHT. 
          IT'S UNANIMOUS. ALRIGHT. WITH THAT. THE TIME IS
