opportunity to speak although we're not going to officially open the public hearing so um Commissioners and um anybody have any questions for the applicant commission bronsky Mr dolom Bill DOL from 2323 Ross Avenue yes sir so uh here we are again talking about tabling um I've got some concerns whether we can get everything done by the uh February the first February meeting date especially since we've now seen a couple times where we''ve uh had to table things where do you how do you feel about the February 3rd meeting back in December when we requested postponement we had some outstanding issues with the city staff we resolved all those issues we were ready to go tonight on the commission and I'm wondering if in order to to make February 17th meeting to make sure that that I mean we can we believe that everything else was already covered and ready to go tonight but for the single family and again it's going to be basically taking what's already been done incorporating into our our PD so I don't think it's going to take very long to do that um I I I have concerns I mean I've looked at the plan uh I've looked at what you've submitted and um I think there are some some areas that you might be interested to hear that um are of concern I mean uh we don't have to table it tonight for you I mean if you'd we could do a lot of different things but I I really there are some things in your plan that I think I'd like to see a little bit uh adjusted and I think that um maybe hearing feedback from uh staff as well as the commission might help you to clarify some a new ask for type of building comes around the ability to come after the fact to adjust language within um the proposed PD so um after the PD is approved the only process to amend it is to go through the other zoning change to amend the PD stipulations if that's what you're asking right okay so that would essentially be The Driver why they would rather table so that once we vote on something it's complete and since they will have to go through the whole re okay thank you so um Mr Bell just question to follow up on that do we have a another PD with some single family residential stipulations that's a a go by we can use that we've used in multiple places or are we creating something out of whole cloth sure yeah we we do preliminary discussions with the applicant have been about that very thing and in anticipation of this item and would like to speak I'll give you uhy I move we accept uh the applicant's proposal to table to the February 3rd um plan and Zoning meting I got commissioner lingan felter next on the board I second it okay all right anybody any comments questions all right everybody vote please motion passes 8 to zero thank you Mr dstr we'll afford to see any back here in a month I 3B item 3B um somebody like to make a motion commissioner bronsky I move we table item 3B to uh the February 3rd 2025 uh Planning and Zoning commission meeting all right commissioner oi second commissioner lights off commissioner Tong do you have a comment I able or if they don't meet their deadline make improvements on that we had this conversation actually uh before this meeting tonight um and no C currently there's not although um we are going to try to put that on a future agenda to discuss in in Pre preliminary session to discuss if we would like to put um or discuss putting something in place to address this appreciate it Mr Bell is that all correct okay thank you all right so we have a motion and a second on the floor to postpone item 3B to the February 3rd meeting everybody would vote please motion passes 8 to zero item 4 a would you like me to read 4 a and 4 B together yeah 4 a and 4B I'm sorry 4 a and 4B together okay agenda item number 4 a is a request to reone property from Corridor commercial to single family residents attached on 6.6 Acres located on the west side of K Avenue agenda item number 4A side of K Avenue just south of Spring Creek Parkway so the zoning request is for a straight reson from cordor commercial to single family attached the the applicant is proposing 49 single family attached residents is with this development and here is the preliminary site plan attached with this request so the subject property is located in the Invision Oak Point small area plan the small area plan is an extension of the comprehensive plan and due to the extensive Outreach and additional details provided by the plan it um is used to guide um ahead of the conference a plan and so this is what controls the area and in the graphic you'll see the subject property is located in the blue outline along the left side of the graphic okay so in the Invision outo area this property is identified as a and additionally it is recommended recommended that in this area the commercial usas are improved and so it with Invision o point this area is recommended as a potential site for a Transit opportunity um there's no confirmed location for any you know Transit stations um so as the the search for that area goes on uh the existing uses under the corridor commercial uses are appropriate for development and within Envision Oak Point the area is within the sub area of the western quadrant this encourages preservation of land um for this potential transit station and so around around this subject property there are some vacant properties as well as well as some other businesses in the area um one of the goals of the sub area is to promote uh digital connections East and West to connect that potential Transit area to may be harmful for the residents um fa and then on the um some of the existing uses around around the site to the east is the public Ware mini warehouse Public Storage um to the South is the service contractor uh to the north is a religious facility um that landscaping company as well as the truck truck leasing and Retail and so one of the things that we want to point out that K Avenue in this areaa especially serves as kind of a transition area for the corridor commercial and compared to like the residential uses across the property or across the street and so you can see there is a pretty clearly defined line and in the graphic you will see like in the bottom middle portion uh that is where the subject property in the light green so the resoning of the property to resident May create additional burdens and restrictions on surrounding properties that would not exist if it remained commercial zoning commercial properties often must meet additional South and so there is a requirement for antennas is proposing to build all of the residential buildings a minimum 161 foot away from the antenna and this is in case there's any antenna falling in an emergency this will kind of help protect residents in the area um although they are meeting set back from the Residential Properties they are still not meeting the residential the distance from the residential district and so they would not be conforming anymore uh next I would like to speak about the access to the property so the primary entrance is from K Avenue while the secondary entrance is off split Trail and this is determined by traffic uh being that K Avenue is an arterial Street and will have heavier traffic flow than split Trail um so one of the issues that we had with the site is determining um the access uh there is no direct access median direct access to a median opening on the site along K Avenue uh there were some early the street design standard for driveway spacing um and then I also want to speak about the property to the north as well so if this property remained commercial um it's very comment throughout the city that two commercial properties uh especially on a median opening can share an access point so they would they would share an access drive along their property lines and um you know that's typical throughout the city and so without without this access point and with the proposed driveway spacing where it is um the property to the north would also require driveway spacing um variances as well from the engineering department and there are additional challenges for that site due to the location of the creek and just the shorter Frontage on that site and so it would just create additional restrictions and barriers for them uh portions of the subject property are located in the environmental health area uh as shown in the graphic um rough two notices or two letters within 200 F and four against and then we also received three other letters so in summary the applicant is proposing to reson the property from Corridor commercial to single family attach the proposal is not consistent with the Envision ooint plan recommendation property from Corridor commercial to single family attach follow along after that so then there would just be better connection that is a a mixed juice type development that we have typically around our our Transit oriented um stations is that correct correct okay um and then my second question is about the med access if you can go to that slide for me of course um have has Emergency Services looked at this fire and police um about where there'll be specifically fire and ambulance from which direction they'd be responding in an emergency looked at this fire and police um about where there'll be specific track that this current ownership does not own railroad develop will be um will be required to provide like items such as screening uh for this property so they will have to bear the burden of the cost to somehow adjust to correct okay that's for now Comm Tong okay the north the property to the north of this one um my question is regarding our um yeah that one okay so based what I heard is because now we're if we were going to reson this area into a residential then the common access between these two properties cannot be used as an access point and the residential uh Zone the property has to have a access point um how far is there like a limit how far from the property line to have an access point is that what's requ is that the requirement so is there any type of residential zoning that in our city C that allows the access point to be shared with the neighboring property so I think overall um in the city of Plano it's it's not encouraged um there are you know a few instances throughout the city where you know with special designs and u Way further to the South okay got you it it may be possible but they would require variance from the engineering department so they would have to review the impact and safety if the proposed driveway was on their property somewhere along okay yeah if they were both if they both stayed commercial then that one shared Drive could count as access for both towards meeting their two points of access and they could have a shared access V easement somewhere else either with the property to the west or somewhere else um on this property if it's residential and develop if this property is developed with residential as proposed then this site will no longer have access to the median opening which I think is the most critical point they could get a driveway but it it wouldn't have any access to that Medan opening and require additional unsafe U-turn movements to access and go Northbound from that site okay got you thank you commissioner bronsky yeah thank thank you for uh all of the efforts you've put in so far uh so I've got a couple questions three different mitigation uh solutions for this site one of them did include I believe it was MV 12 filtration for the units however as Mr Kim noted without a PD there's no stipulations holding them to any of those uh recommendations um but MV 12 filtration was uh included as a recommendation in the report provided by their consultant is that in addition to some of the other mitigation standards that we typ um but MV 12 filtration was uh mhm what's the distance from where this I think this will work um so you can kind of see the mobile home trailer park on on the west side so they would just have the CR cross split Trail Road and then there is a another railroad that Dart rounds and then so then that would be the distance that they have to connect so in order to get to anybody who's of any kind of residential uh they've got to go uh across the road then over the railroad tracks and if I if I remember this correctly there's not an entrance back there on that back side of the trailer park is there um I don't believe so but and if I if I remember this correctly there's not yeah that's all I have for right now thank you resident sh to be connected to the mobile home park the burden of access would be on the mobile home park development to create an access point that would actually even allow the crossing over split bar you know so it's I don't know one question I do have is there any residential use permitted for um Corridor commercial no there is not the mobile home park is Zone Corridor commercial does that predate that zone in was that grandfathered in in some way uh the mobile home park I believe was built before was incorporated into the city of Plano okay um can you go back to that beautiful chart that showed uh uh the graph of that one this one okay again hypothetical we approved this somehow they still wouldn't me um uses by the masonry company if we enforce the buffers um those residency adjacency buffers that we have if that is enforced on the applicant not on the neighbors how much land is left I think I'm a little confused by the question um it's roughly I think a six Acre Site I think approximately two acres would probably be within the buffer zone at least for the cell tower that they would need we did discuss the applicant doing commercial along the spread Shale Frontage for that very reason but I roughly guess about 2 AC okay and and one correct correction to um the question about residential uses in the corridor commercial zoning District um independent living facilities and mid rde res midrise residential five-story plus multif family is allowed with approval of a specific use permit that's the residential allowances you thank you um Mr Ry any other questions okay commissioner brunov thank you uh Mr um with respect to the U private property um so it's not um it's not something that's for public access for for people to drive across right willy-nilly okay all right um just to make sure you're asking they can't just like drive through the mobile home park to get to the that's right Expressway to get the expressway exactly they they can do correct um and finally has the applicant made any effort to work with or obtain agreement from adjacent Property Owners with respect to relieving uh the burdens and restrictions regarding those setbacks and and screenings and buffering uh the applicant is here tonight um so he may be able to better answer that question are there any agreements that you're aware of uh no not that I'm aware of okay thank you commissioner Lingenfelter so uh I think I I've already kind of know the answer to this but I still want to kind of put it out there for properties right yeah so the northern property um just to add a little more info um I whenever I was kind of measuring out the site I think in the along the street front it's maybe at most 300 feet and just kind of goes a little bit wider through the back of the property and so with residential adjacency of Standards being 150 ft you know for a lot of the site goes a little bit wider through the back of the property that is there any way to even write somebody's buying maintained by the homeowners association and we be part of their ccnr um when the plats filed so is there a homeowners association uh plan for this and I didn't I didn't think I saw that in the packet uh I'm not aware if those plans exist there will be requirement because they open space Lots the subdivision ordinance requires formation of an homeowners association but that'll come at later steps when they get to plating so the eha or the homeowners association would would then be required to maintain the screening walls and maintain uh the mve filters and all of those kind of things not NE the filters but the typical design like um The 8ot Masonry walls for example the if there's landscape burn m mitigations things like that would be maintained by the HOA anything within the homes themselves would be maintained by the property owner so again the regulations as it relates to the particulate matters and things like that that really puts everything up in the air on that am I so the existing cell tower is the little yes okay thank you and you like can I do have another question I don't know if you do like a research about the capacity of schools so if you like because these these are you know like uh what 49 residences and you know like in the household is what you know like two three kids maybe in each household uh so you like do you do some research about this household is what you know like two three kids maybe in each house set and so with that formula applied the set bag is 161 ft okay um so that's how we got to that number but it's intended for safety correct okay so the residential adjacency is not just about residential structures it's about residential uses yes so it it also is required to be uh set back from the residential districts as well so it would still be non-conforming even even while meeting the distance from the residential lots so under the current proposal that's an open space lot which becomes a playground cor which puts the playground in the danger zone for the cell tower theoretically yes okay I just want to make sure I was reading that correctly all right commissioner bronsky one more followup on that from looking at the map that you have there should something catastrophic happen with that Tower it closes Street a there's only one other entrance into this entire uh area correct here and do they have a presentation the applicant has not present as much as answer some questions because I heard a lot of some new information for me if you could give us the name of your firm and your address real quick just for the record nor nine um um um 6070 Jeremy Trail Dallas Avenue um thank you thank you um speaking about the tower so the tower is the the height of the tower is 90 ft and with the formula Mr Michael help help us doing it we have to be 161 ft away so for any Hazard happen and the tower like fail Within 61 ft is not going to block street a the tower is 90 um 90 ft height um uh for the U-turn uh problem that we have in here um we have created more than maybe eight different side plans trying to present a Ser of uh Plano we got a lot of feedback one of the uh one of the options uh we presented for them I'm going to um one more thing at business is um to be um 150 ft away here I'm sorry j jumping between uh slides uh but the the sketch here in the bottom uh left this is the layout our neighbor North planning to left this is the layout our neighbor North planning really care about the community I really care about the kids kids to move out of the city and recently four schools trying to like close or going to be closing and I'm sure you all all aware of that um so Davis um Elementary uh Foreman Elementary um Carpenter and Armstrong uh middle school and the reason is because there is not enough um affordable single family for Po and the reason is because there is not enough spread Trail which is also makes sense because the bus station over there the width of each station during all this line is going to prevent of if we did our project I don't think that's going to prevent Dart from doing the the station I think it's still doable and again following the spacing what makes more sense I think to be the station to be planned north of us um also if the station DART station in front of our property that will make people walk half a mile just to go to the nearest um bus station which is north I think that's all the kind of responses I have that will make people walk half a mile just to go to the nearest um bus station which is north I think that's all the kind of responses I have to uh or wanted to explain we it's okay we take some questions from the commission yes please okay Commissioners questions for the applicant Mr Ry you lost me a little bit um when you were explaining Dart because I don't think we have a concern necessarily as to where Dart builds um my question more than anything is as an architect I'm sure once you when you build a developer property you are trying to tie in the property to the surrounding land and make sure there is ESS and Ingress and what have you almost none of that is viable exactly one of your access points requires going straight from the U-turn to their property is recommended the problem is we didn't want to share our entry with the commercial that was a problem that's why we moved it correct which again if you're building a residential development in cohesion with your surrounding users sharing access with a commercial property doesn't sound like it's the most uh viable use correct you have access issues connecting to the other piece of residential that is relatively close um you have you're essentially it feels like and maybe I'm I'm not asking a question more more making a comment your building your building project essentially absolves you of all of the burden of the use it's correct challenging because it's um in other hand what the needs of the city that the city need more of residential or more of the commercial which one benefit more to the community that's okay okay commissioner bronsky so first of all I want to say thank you very much for considering Plano and uh I appreciate the time and energy and effort that has gotten you to where you're standing today in this presentation so I'm sure you've heard a few of my concerns already corre um and um the staff says that you realize this is in an eha Zone okay and you know what that is what that represents and obviously you've done your studies for that um how are we going to be confident that that's maintained that uh MV filtration SE tws are in all 49 residents uh is that something your HOA is going to inspect uh and the the cost of maintaining all of the a afford the cost and B be able to maintain uh the regulations that we're not really able to put in place so most of the recommendation happen with the sound um what what um by higher fence by specific materials in the facade facing land West and this all very doable it's not it's not something that we can do I understand the sound is doable yes that's not my concern I'm sorry and this all very doable it's not that's not something that we how familiar are you with being physically on the ground in this parcel uh I visit the site you mean physically on the ground walking the parcel in that general area how many time how maybe like three four times okay so I've lived in Plano like I said about 28 years M and when I think about quity of life and I realize that I can be on 75 in Spring Creek and I can smell the landscape company I wonder what kind of quality of life we're going to be producing for a resident that lives 30 times closer and you've visited the site maybe three times uh you're probably not even familiar with the odors that can be produced over there then I guess no I'm not yeah uh that's a grave concern I have as well not only do I am I not sure that you can meet the particulate matters and uh uh satisfy the eha study but we're putting residents uh in an area that could be practically detrimental uh to their health and we're not even sure other than 75 we don't know what other kinds of particulate matters are being produced uh for a livable area like that related to the landscape company uh production as well as the uh Mason reconstruction companies so you know that that it's just it's very concerning to me thank you thank you commission langfelder I just wanted to they've addressed a lot of concerns as well that I I I had but also you had mentioned you you really put a lot of effort into this and I see that um how much effort did you take in account reaching out to your neighbors and really working with them such as the driveway you talk about a shared driveway access to the north did you actually approach that neighbor and talk about a a creating one that that they would agree upon as well as did you did you talk to the city or or anybody and say oh you know I won't let you I will go ahead and put the screening wall up and and do all these things this Mak SK wall I won't let you have to take on that burden what what kind of efforts did you take with your neighbors that's a great question so um I personally didn't speak with the neighbor but uh my client did and the meeting happened about three weeks ago um the problem is the meeting happened after we proposed the shared driveway with the the neighbor and because of been pushed with the city um we didn't actually work together through the entry entryway the concerns that we got from the neighbor was all about the noise might the commercial do to the residential um the the lighting issue from the commercial to the residential and this all we address that with with with the neighbor um um for the screening um when we did in the beginning during all this um development uh work some of the comments we got we need to have uh misionary screening wall and we were willing to do it and we had it in our floor plan until uh we got the staff comment that is not required so we had to remove that back but we're willing to put U misionary screening if that needed good commissioner brunov thank you Mr chairman um in light of the various concerns that have been expressed by the Commissioners this evening about this project I think it's only fair to give you an opportunity to address what I think is the important underlying issue that is before us and bear in mind our function is to consider whether this is an appropriate use for this land [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] all right thank you Commissioners Let's uh convene convene back and we'll move to item number five item number five agenda item number five is for consideration of the Silver Line Station areas plan a long range planning policy for the 12th Street in Shiloh Road station areas the applicant is the city of Plano and this item is for legis of consideration here with you tonight so my name is Jason April I'm the senior Mobility planner with the city of Plano as you all know the 26 mile long silver line rail is under construction Dart anticipates the silver line to open as early as the end of this year and that provides service to DFW Airport the Silverline station areas plan as a longrange planning policy document for the 12th Street and Shiloh road station areas the new rail service presents a unique opportunity for Plano to build on our previous success that we've had with Transit oriented development specifically I'm referring to downtown with the successful Redevelopment of downtown with the uh red and orange line station the plan was developed through a collaborative process to create goals for future Transit oriented growth the plan is the culmination of years of research analysis and public engagement to create a document that will serve the community and provide the guidance needed for future development transportation and open space and character recommendations in the city staff appreciates the excellent feedback that we've received from the stakeholders in the gener general Community the Planning and Zoning commission last reviewed the plan and called a public hearing for a consideration at the November 18th 2024 meeting as a small area plan the Silver Line Station areas plan is considered an extension of the comprehensive plan similar to how Envision Oak Point is an extension of the comprehensive plan the plan will be used to further refine the community's vision for the 12th Street and shilot Road station areas to coincide with the introduction of the Silverline Transit stations and the new rail service the plan aligns with a comprehensive plans policy guidance for redevelopment and Transit oriented areas first the plan recommendations include an integrated mix of uses close to a transit station in line with the transit Orient development policy of the comprehensive plan second as an area plan with a half mile within a half mile of a transit station the plan specifically fulfills to policy action number two third in line with to policy action number three the plan was created with a stakeholder group to create a vision that identifies opportunities for further Outreach and finally the plan serves as a special area plan in line with land use policy action six the plan was created through extensive public and uh stakeholder input gathered through meetings surveys and other engagement methods a project Advisory Group was formed in March 2023 and included community members who held a vested interest in the project um such as property and business owners neighborhood Representatives special interest Advocates and developers invitations were mailed to Property Owners within the study areas for both stations and additional stakeholders were contacted who had expressed interest in the station areas through previous uh planning efforts in the City the first engagement event occurred in April 2023 since that time we've collected a lot of community feedback that was gathered through multiple in-person and online engagement activities our last public engagement was the public openhouse in February 2024 the overall purpose of the plan is to advance the comprehensive plans policy guidance for redevelopment in transit oriented areas to achieve this the plan includes five chapters starting with the introduction for the introduction this provides the background data on the station areas such as the existing conditions Economic Development potential the market challenges and the market opportunities the chapter also includes Transit oriented best practices and an overview of the public engagement building off of that chapter two chapter two plan goals includes the broad land use transportation and open space and character goals that were developed through a series of stakeholder visioning exercises that we had in 2020 3 uh through public survey responses and assessments of the existing conditions and the assessments and the analysis that was conducted and is overviewed in the introduction chapter three this chapter the plan vision and development types provides detailed maps and development type guidance for the station areas each station area has a corresponding land use Vision map Transportation Vision map and open space and character Vision map for the land sections the chapter outlines specific development types for each station area so the specific development types for the 12th Street Station area and specific development types for the Shiloh Road station area and these uh development types provide uh nuanced guidance on the land Juice mix the scale and development character and they respond to the plan goals that are outlined in section chapter two chapter four recommendations and strategies provides detailed guidance for the implement mentation of the plan this chapter connects the plan goals to achieve strategies for future development and investment there are recommendations that provide detailed guidance for land juice transportation and open spacing character and finally chapter five the implementation actions these provide a checklist to to guide the plan successful execution you can think of this chapter as a to-do list of actionable steps and finally the summary the Silverline station areas plan is a culmination of several years of research analysis and public input to create a document that will serve the community in the station areas and provide guidance for future development for future development transportation and open space recommendations the plan will be used primarily to First evaluate proposed zoning change and development requests um including updates to the zoning ordinance and alignment with the long-term goals for the station areas second the plan will be used to consider potential Services programs or future studies to advance the vision and the plan goals specifically in the station areas and third the plan will be used to analyze Implement infrastructure upgrades so CIP projects or public improvements to support the goals of the plan and to stimulate the type of growth uh that is desired by the community in the station areas so staff recommends that this item is approved as submitted and I'm happy to answer any questions you have about uh this silverland station areas plan well first of all thank you this I didn't realize it had been almost two years that we've been working on this when you said March of 23 I doesn't feel like it's been almost two years that we've been working on this so um was honored to work on it with you and and former commissioner Carrie um the amount of public input was unbelievable I mean we had so many meetings and so much great input and feedback from the community um and the Consultants did a very very good job of incorporating all that working with you all to put together a plan that I think addressed all the concerns that were brought out through all that public hearing process so uh I'm very pleased with the results and and applaud you and the Consulting team and this and the entire staff for putting that together so thank you all for your effort it uh it's a it's a impressive body of work so with that said um Commissioners questions um commissioner brunov no I wanted to also add my thanks to uh the staff and the citizens committee that of which you were a member m Mr chairman also former commissioner Cary was a member uh and the general public who participated and gave their input this this plan represents a lot of work by a lot of people over a long period of time and I'm I'm grateful that they took the time and the effort and the energy uh to get everybody on board and allow this plan to be distilled into something that was U beneficial and acceptable to everybody involved that that represented the input of everybody who who was involved and and participated um I think it's an exciting development for our city to have the the Silver Line come on board and to have development oriented towards the um the Silver Line you know grow and um you know benefit the city so I just want to express my um approval for this plan and I will be enthusiastically voting for also as as side I just want to congratulate Mr brand on his new position with the city and we look forward to working with you thank you very much other questions for staff Mr bronsky Mr bronsky just another comment uh Plano is a city of Excellence for a reason and uh I believe that all of the time energy and effort uh to listen to our citizens to work together uh the staff has you guys have shown uh an overwhelming uh positive push in that direction uh I believe this Silver Line not only demonstrates our commitment to Excellence today but represents our commitment to Excellence for the citizens that will be here as the comp plan projects out to 2050 so I just want to say thank you to you and your staff and all of uh those that served on this uh I think we can all be proud as Citizens that this plan is going forward and I completely support it all right um let's open the Mr Mr L commissioner L I wanted also you like to it's a tremendous amount of work and effort uh put in from the staff and everybody else also but you know like so I have a question uh is there like an immediate plan hands to um Implement like Improvement of the streets because you know like you were you were calling uh you know like um to improve a lot of those streets pedestrians and you know like in other ones uh so is there like an immediate plan to so the the plan um the implementation actions do not have a timetable part of the implementation actions involve um evaluating those plans but I will say that staff has started to evaluate the implementation actions in specific specifically the projects to think about what are some lwh hanging fruit that the city or you know can move forward um but there's no timeline attached to the projects but some of the projects can be used strategically to help um be a pilot project and kind of help um continue the vision um so it it all depends on implementation how um the projects are implemented and how the plan is implemented but there's not a timeline tied to each um implementation action yeah thank you all right I'll open the public hearing um do we have any registered speakers on this item we do we have Mr William Cravens he's available in Zoom hi this is uh my

efforts that staff went to in order to gain support and um and and everybody's opinions was greatly appreciated uh further a comment I wanted to say was um was very excited to see I think it's on um page 44 of this plan specific to 13th Street uh many of those Parcels are zoned retail and in their current uh form are undevelopable um and I was very excited to see that a blanket rezoning was um uh to be considered for the north side of 13th Street to further energize um this portion of downtown so thank you very much thank you Mr Cravens and I appreciate your service on the committee as well
