A little bit of background, festivals in cars produced a multi-day community festival focused on the river since 1972 and had city support ever since the event attracts Hochul attendees at regional tourists event completes a community of an application process just like any other event that happens within the city limits. 2024. you updates just from that differs a little bit from previous years. Is that the use of century to is outline further to add courting with ASM our property manager at Century, too. The terms of the agreement are also updated to annual with the option to renew. And then we have a new annual report form that we initiated last year to formalize and enhance reporting measures for the festival. The report itself includes a lot of different which is comparative to what we do across arts and cultural services. There's a detailed report in city section that's added to the agreement of EU itself. And that includes the description of programming included at the festival description of the economic impact of the festival in our community. A description kind of overlay of the community partners are involved in the festival and a description of how the event reaches diverse groups. There's also a tendency metrics, the overall attendance and outreach to identify underserved racial, geographic and economic populations. also offer have wide for it Friday of in kind support for the festival, including parks and recreation, different things like picnic tables trash cans and your occasion shut offs and support for the area depending on the differently out of the festival. We also provide the usage of the festival area itself century to Kennedy Plaza a price water park. And then we also support street closure and traffic engineering as well as a public safety support as well. The for financial we recommend $40,000 in cash ship for the event and a special program. Excuse me, special program sponsorship of $40,000 has decided presented requested by the festival for Quick. I'm kind of background the last couple years. Last year supported the Fiesta Del Rio Pride Project and then the year before that was a downtown, get down for a special program and then which a agrees to pay wpd officers at the minimum rate of $40 per hour for additional security for the festival. 2024 city sponsorship benefits include but are not limited to city logo.

I would like to point out that Nancy dealing president of which a festival in the room today may have couple words to say or may be available to answer any questions you might have. Thank you. That's a number. Thank Lindsey. Thank you for your presentation. And Nancy, thank you for being here. And for all your hard work. >> I remember when I moved to the state in 2000 in 2 and brand-new to Kansas and to which time somebody to me that Riverfest was their favorite activity in the city. So glad to see that people enjoy it. brings us all together when I was your You the thing that I was most excited about was the in reporting. I think that we do so many great things. But then we have to do reflect back to that. So I like to see that to for I have 2 questions of my first question will be when we received the annual report 120 days after after a with that held up, the shared held that information, especially there's some great things about the economic impact. And, you know, we you mentioned a little bit about the demographics, but how will report be sure that we can celebrate yet that? That's a great question. Last year's I believe our first year with the formal reporting structure. >> So we've recently received that for for last year. We internally track it and for the Division of Arts and Cultural Services in particular, we're putting in attendance in economic metrics against all the things that the city supports. So we don't necessarily pull out a specific event >> facilities that present, but something that we can definitely share with council pun requests, UK, maybe directors order. You have something. My other question. Thank you for the years funds. That's a great Page 7. >> Under 9, it says a list of new or outstanding facility, maintenance issues. Can you tell me a little is that just for century to or what does that mean? That's a great questions. So at this annual report reflects kind of what we offer for all of our cultural institutions, Art Museum, all of our different facilities and partners. So if there's maintenance issues that need to be reported, this is kind of our formal way to do that. So if there's an irrigation issue. >> We've had some issues with the fountains in Kennedy Plaza. This is kind of our formal spot to put that or if there are issues that century to as part of the facility rental and that would be there after trying to It's a little unique for festivals in particular. It's a little bit more relevant to our operating agreements with the institutions. So what I hear you saying is that festivals will provide us with the information for the metrics you request and then you'll supplemented with. >> The maintenance issues and other things. And then that will be the final report because I was festivals would be able to report what make did issues we had. So that makes a lot more sense. Thank you. I will. If I may offer for the festival in particular, we've had some a conversation about generators and some power. Upgrades to the plaza to make sure that we're following all the various safety standards. So that's kind of our formal spot to be able to put that, which we're working with festivals and doing some improved electric to Kennedy Plaza area so they won't have to bring in generators every year. So that's kind of an opportune that we haven't. >> And this agreement specific to festivals. Thank you. And thank you you have so much your plate right now. You're doing a fantastic job. So I appreciate all you do. I first. >> Thank Thank you and thank you, Nancy, for being here. I saw a couple questions. I'm just curious. How is it decided what the $40,000 for this special event house decided what the city? >> Wants participate sure. in my brief tenure with the city about the last couple years, festivals present a few different and it goes to city manager's office for approval. So we were really looking for what reaches underserved are historically marginalized populations to make sure that we're growing the demographics of attendees so that such a couple ideas and we say this one looks like it's going to be the best use of those Okay. Awesome. Thank That percent to work with questions. >> The constituent reached out and said I didn't see it in the packet. So I apologize if I overlooked it. But the city gets 40 buttons. And I was just wondering how this city to sites who gets them or what that looks like. >> Might pollen and see for that. You know, we do get some buttons. Typically they go to city departments that are participating in the event. So at APD officers, if we have booth space at the event, I know we've had library services various parks employees at the event so we provided to them. So they're at able to work the event. But I'd asked Nancy to collaborate me. Good morning. And with there is a sponsorship packet that is delivered and part of this.

And I just want to you, thank you very much. Thank you so much. I 100% passionate door. >> I would last one question for you to Shell. Thank you again for all you. Do you mentioned that which China is the second largest out of heat who has who gets more funding Wyandotte County. Thank I no further questions for staff. We'll now open it for public I see one. >> Good morning at Marion Council Twyla Purity. I live in Polo Club first to thank you guys. I'm trying to learn everything I can and I don't know why I'm bit by the city getting involved in the study been that they buy that book. So I appreciate the time that you take. While I get up to speed as all these different things come across so I would like just clarity over $600,000 for 5 employees and operational expenditures. What makes up the operational expenditures because I assume, you know, not making over $100,000 or maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. this operational expenditures and then one night did the math that 275 people who were served. That's $2,320 per individual. And I'm just curious how that assistance comes to them. I mean, I know that assuming some folks get more, some get less. But that kind of average. So I think if if I can indulge, just understand this better. >> And thank you for the question. I'm saying to your first questions when it says expenditures >> so those are for like our technology. Our computers that have to happen is that they go out and provide service to we try to meet the client's where they are in the community and by meeting them exactly where they are in the community. They have tablets, falling usages printers copiers those different kind of things. Add up to a little bit of that. The second part of your question, you're absolutely right. So part of it is that you also think of some of our summer camp kids ever roughly is about $1000 in the summer. If we provide individual families assistance for them to go to training, just to go to truck driving school pay about $5,000 for they want to go to allied health. That's a little bit over $2000. So it does appear you 100% correct. It does vary. Sometimes it's a little bit more and sometimes it's not whatever we have salary savings. We use that money We come back to council and allocate those funds to be able to provide more assistance to more people who may the support of the community. >> Well, thank you. >> One other point on project access as a health care executive here in Wichita. What you don't see there? I mean, you see that there's the budget. I see that that's for drugs. And DM me. But the physicians in which you tie that provide free care to these patients, different positions, sign-up and now say I'm all see X number of patients and a project access and provide free care. So I think that's fantastic. really, I just I don't know that that's really emphasize how much the medical community, you know, invest this project for the city. Thank you for your indulgence.

So thank you again. >> I see no further questions from the audience. Any further discussion from the bench. Number. >> Thanks, also to highlight project Access. I just want publicly thank them for their support of the community in the 20 Martin Grove contamination area, they've stepped up to help out folks who don't have coverage as well.

So a bit of The Kansas Aviation Museum requested for over naming of Judge Washington. Believe it to cap. He took full of it and this request. It's route heading to historical significance has aviation heritage fans to communities extent, least pride. It's unique identity. The street segment to be over named income passes to stretch from East Lincoln. 2 East 55th Street. And relates to which he says he street in a meaningful way. Okay. the map shows the area up for over This is says so. According to City Council police at scene segments, a fussy the street maybe over named by City Council action Ponder referral to an advice recommit team. So December, 5th, 2023 to City Council designated the Board of packed Commission hearing after referred to as the Park board has to name advisory committee for this request. And in 12/11/2023, we presented a request to the Park board Wade was decided that we present this to the District vice report district 3 to receive coming to feedback and comments. finally, on January 8, 2024, the Park board haven't received positive comments from that. district 3 reviewed the proposal and recomended foot over naming of Judge Washington full the Fed capital PolitiFact below is a that we brought to request City Council and then Park board and District of ICE report.

Legal considerations to law Department has a fair and that the Board of Pop Commission, this action as the name advisory committee for this request is consistent with the provisions of city Council police. 18. So recomendation into staff recomendation that the city council approved a request for the it may over naming of Judge Washington Bull event kept it simple event which encompasses stretch from its link onto each state to frustrate. Thank you. And I'll stand for questions may have. Thank you. Thank you. When you've been truly just a welcome addition to our staff as it meant management Silliman, I appreciate your work and this and thank you, Ben. >> For being here today. I always say you run the Kansas Aviation Museum like you own it, right. And that's really impressive. The question that I did have an expectant slate 40, please. For the financial considerations and I saw in the pack, get that. It said that there would be no questions. City. No costs would be incurred by the Kansas Aviation Museum. When I saw that and I made a new day for sassoon, like new signage, Right. And that's going to be incurred by the Kansas Aviation Museum. thank you for that. But then it also says the needs of qualified vendors. We do our street signs and how. So that's where an animal, little confuse what vendors will be utilized for this. But thing. >> Okay. that's public works. Department that would keep the some of the appropriate thing to us for this outside vendors to do the street sign installation and not do it. In-house. >> Yeah, that's me. just want to make sure and thank you again for the king to save. Babies may be a shoo-in for incurring that cost. And then also for bringing this to our attention. And I hope there's a great and getting your something because I think could be a great way to celebrate. front. >> Thank you, >> so we're not really removing any signs of says George Washington Boulevard right? It's just going to be additional signage. >> Yes, that's correct. Yes, we will be removing the signs that you would just be like an addition. I didn't. Thank you for that. And thank you for your work and presentation on this as well. would you like to come up and just say a little bit about? Justice project? I know it's been a longtime passion project of yours just getting the museum to where it is today. And during our dad, many actually had some interesting information that you brought up about. Well, only reason George Washington Boulevard is where it is and the way it is because it was the original route to the Wichita Airport. So like to begin a little more. Sure. Thank you. Councilmember councilmember highs on and to the rest of the council. The mayor. >> Any time you give someone it's a Baptist, a chance to speak at a podium and a microphone. They're going to take it. That usually ask for money as well. But we want we want this time. They want thank you to land in the staff for their work on this and then the park board as well as the dad for their consideration, their work and getting it to where we're at today. We are excited about this. I appreciate the question concerning the road. Just so it is understood. This is not renaming George Washington Boulevard. That road stays the same. No address changes, nothing along that line. But it isn't over naming a chance for the city. Our community to capitalize on the pride. That is our aviation heritage. And as councilmember, how as I mentioned, this road was originally built back as the airport sanction. There are currently use it was the route to get you from the city of Wichita to the airport directly Burch is why there's a lot of the burden of boulevard bill versus the horizontal or vertical >> path that you see in most of our city roads and so is played a historical significant to aviation and this community again, the Wichita Airport was the 4th busiest airport in the nation in the late 30's and early 40's operating flights. Every 90 seconds in our out of our facility there on George Washington Boulevard. And so again, to this day, we still play a rich role. And what we do here, thanks to the work of City, our Radar, partnership as well as our senator and House members there as we will work solidify the fact and continue the branding. The Wichita is still capital of the world. So I appreciate the work getting to where we're at today. And again, this is not something that is changing the name. It's just simply an opportunity to recognize the rich heritage. So many which attends have been affected by so. >> The steal the good news aspect of it, too. She usually asked to tell the story of things happening. How many new does museum have in the past couple years? In addition, what upcoming events and the folks some education. So what opportunities to students and families have to Thank you. Councilman. Last Cup. >> There are several things here. I will say we just came up one of our best years ever in 2023. Thanks to the citizens of our community and those traveling. We have increased our since 2020 night, 2019. So prepandemic we've increased our attendance by nearly 70% during that time as well as opened up 5 new exhibits that include the women of aviation. We have our new theater Hall of Fame are welcome to Wichita exhibit are black aviators. Exhibit. continuing expansion there this year as well. Will head our military exhibit and our plans for an education center. We've recently partnered with Airbus to create to bring about a stamp education program that are utilizing now the museum called We will build it better. And this is, again, an opportunity for kids to get that first touch and aviation aerospace work and see how it how can be exciting. We will build better program. We build a better program is based out of Alabama and what they've seen and results in classrooms is simply amazing. They're they have a 7% or 7 point increase in test scores and mathematics and one Ohio school district just based upon the difference of using the curriculum versus traditional standard teaching of mathematics. They've increased attendance and so our ability now to focus on stem education that has a role in the community in which we live because, again, we are in need of aviation aerospace workers. And just the ability to bring that about. And then it goes beyond that as well. And there are other fields in we need workers go with it all. And this program goes just to inspire kids for instance, they're one of the things they learn to do is hammer is using hammers and they take that program and they spread it out because it's not just aviation are or mechanics that use hammers, right? Doctors use hammers piano tuners use hammers go cross a line of all the different fields that used that? So our goal is to play a point in that we do have our screens we're raising mentioned there. That's coming up here. That's our biggest fundraiser for the year to try to help continue our work. There were servings title one schools offering this kind of admissions and readmissions for our child start programs as well as Decca families have just kind of mission for foster care. Is that something very close to my heart and so we're continue to make sure that not just accessibility to the museum, but can. We're taking that accessibility. We're taking that impact into the community as we did last week's with our speaker speaking at North High. High Future Ready Center W Tech. And so we're trying to make sure that kids and families accessibility to what we're doing. >> Thanks, man. Thank you. Thank you, thank you for all that. I didn't mention that is going to take this opportunity for a little shameless plug. If you haven't been to any of the candlelight concert tickets aviation's a museum. I highly recommend it. I wouldn't the and it was amazing. So. And some of it. >> Thanks, Mayor your Blue shirt reminds me that the Blue Angels will be here this year. So can folks drive down capital Boulevard to get some good seat aviation museum to see the Blue Angels? Yes, they can. Obviously you can go to McConnell Air Force Base. They'll be hosting that. >> That will also be hosting a air show watch party with vendors and all I can to get off the trucks because it's tough Tuesday. And that's what I'm gonna head today. But food truck. That's what I'm looking for. Food trucks will have activities going on there at the museum. So yeah, we'll be able to do parking passes. There will have that coming up. Probably go on sale. Mid gym time frame. But yeah, you can buy a parking pass. Hangout the Museum with us. It's going to be a great show. They have McConnell's done phenomenal plans. Keep up to date on what their release him because they're releasing part of their show as as time goes on. But obviously highlight with the Blue Angels and their first appearance back in Wichita since 2007. >> Is it correct that you get them to commit to fly over Air Capital Boulevard? >> I can. Neither affair. But I will tell you this that based upon our proximity to runway at McConnell, it is a pretty incredible sight. Just sitting there just a few 100 feet off of that. And so we see on that low levels of Thunderbirds 2 years ago was incredible emanate. felt like you could reach up and touch him. Obviously you can't. And you should. And if you could. >> That it was just incredible really see so many details of that. >> I would just to that last week we attended the state of the base event at McConnell Air Force Base and Colonel Damon talked the big event, the airshow so community members, mark your calendars. It is a free community event on August 24th and 25th. So again, looking forward to that. Also. Thank for all you do. I think a I see no further questions from the bench. All take it to the audience. Are any questions or comments from the audience? I see We'll bring it back to the bench. Is there a motion this resides and council member Holt, High District. Thank you, Mayor >> that the city council approved the request over named George Washington Boulevard to their Capital Boulevard. >> Motion and a second members. Please cast your vote by saying Aye. Opposed nay. Motion passes 7, 0, Madam Clerk, please call the next item. 0 2023. Dash 72. >> Amendment to protect of overlay 11 generally located on the north side of West Maple Street within one quarter mile west of south 100 35th Street West. >> Good morning, Scotland from the planning department here to present this item. So in this case, the applicant is requesting to modify protective overlay in order to allow additional land uses on the site. As you're all aware, protective overlays, another level zoning goes over the base. Sony, this item is being heard today because the district advisory board in the Planning Commission recommendations are different. And also because their protests have been submitted against application. In terms of the request, the applicant is requesting multiple additional land uses which identified in the staff report include the following. So single-family residential duplex multi-family residential, personal care services restaurant, general retail and again, other uses that are identified in the staff report. One note that I would make about this is that they're still uses. That would be prohibited. And there have been some conversation about the sew and make sure it's clear that the request these are currently prohibited and would remain prohibited even if the request is approved as submitted. And those include nightclub in the city in entertainment establishment. In terms of of the property. The site is generally located, as you can see here to the north and west of the intersection of Maple and 100 and 35th Street. The subject site consists of one parcel is approximately 2.7 acres in size and zoned LC, limited commercial and is undeveloped. In terms of context properties to the North zone. Geo General office with a protective overlay, underdeveloped with multifamily residential dwellings. The property to the east Geo General office with a protective overlay and developed with a medical clinic. The properties to the West are zoned SF 5 and developed with single-family residences. The properties to the south across maple are part of the sea up and own LC limited commercial with one parcel being undeveloped and the other developed with a dental clinic. In terms of the staff report. Staff report provides information about the request land uses landscaping, compatibility setbacks, lighting and screening, also making notes because he's have come up during some of the public discussions about it, that the landscaping that is required by this protective overlay over that just this property, it's one and a half times what is required in the unified zoning code as a standard. In addition, I would point out that the screening is required to the properties to the west and that's required just by the standards of the zoning code. In terms of review. On January, 11th, the planning commission held a public hearing on this item. And recommended approval of the change 12 to 0 3 members of the public commented on the request regarding traffic concerns and West Maple and screening concerns. On January. 3rd, the District Advisory board reviewed the request and recommended denial of the change to the P o and that vote was 5 to one. This was based on existing traffic and safety conditions. 5 members of the public spoke against the Amendment Amendment to the P o citing concerns again about traffic and safety as well as noise from possible drive-thru restaurants. In terms of protest, 12 protests petitions were received for the request Amendment. 5 of the properties where within the protest calculation area, the protests petitions within that area equal. 22.3 4% of the total protest area which exceeds the 20% threshold. So that request if to be approved, require a super-majority or 6 of 7 vote. In terms of recommendations. It is recommended that the city council adopt the findings of the Planning Commission and approve the requested amendment of the protective overlay authorize the necessary signatures and struck the city clerk to publish ordinance after approval. Again, this would require 6 of 7 votes. Alternatives include the following. You can override the planning Commission, adopt alternative findings. And tonight the request which would require 5 of 7 votes because it is override or as always, you can return the case to the planning Commission for additional consideration would require a simple majority of 4 of 7 votes. A brief note about the process and that the city Council policies that public hearing for planning items occurs. The Planning Commission meeting according to the policy, the council does not typically receive public comments zoning items. And additional note that I would follow up with is that there's been quite a bit of conversation as you've heard about traffic and infrastructure. And I do want to point out as as it's come up in some of the public hearing set maple from 100 and 35th 250st scheduled for construction in 2026. And with design work believe was approved for 2020 for 2025. So so at that bit of information. So with that, I'll take you through some of the photos and graphics. So here's the aerial. It shows area. Here's the zoning map. The area. Here's the map from the comprehensive plan showing that employment and residential both recommended at this site. Here is the notification area and the protest area and the protest areas identified in Green Notification area is in orange or yellowish. And they are different because the city has a separate policy, a notification which expands that area be on the 200 feet. So you can see where the in counted in the protest area are in red protests are outside of that area are counted and are shown in blue. And again, the total was above the 20% threshold. Here are photos from the area and surrounding properties. And with that, I will stand for any questions. That's a number. Johnston. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Scott. Appreciate presentation. This is somewhat unusual because district 5. >> However, is completely surrounded by district 4. don't know why they did that. They did the redistricting, but they did we did get to Councilman Glasscock. I mean together just like to turn it over to him. It's a little bit before I do that, though. I misquoted. Residents. I thought it was scheduled for 2025. for the road construction to begin. Maybe we can get that move death. 26 to 25. I hope so. Council Glasgow. >> I know I'm Scott. You said it was not typical that we have public comment. I mean, I know we do have one resident showed up. I would like to give her the opportunity to speak if possible. What is the protocol regarding that? >> That's it's a policy. I think it council would need to vote to make A change to the policy for today to allow public comment. And I make a motion that we allow public comment this agenda item. >> But first, cast your I all right. And theres opposed say nay. Motion passes 7, 0, >> So it move to public comment and out have further questions for staff. >> It is time public comment on this agenda item. >> Hi, my name is Michelle Blair and I live up to 26 South Decker, which is basically my backyard strictly behind this area. With that the people out there. >> I mean, we're long-term or us. We've been there for a long time. And when we moved down there we were. you know, under the assumption that it was kind of stay that. But I know there is change. But were having a hard time with, you know, the cost of our houses. And the H.O.A. is that we pay. Having a restaurant or something like that that close to our houses. I we just don't see that around which Steph. And I mean, there's a reason why we move out there. And the second notion is this one company Mayor Trust and they have had that property up for sell for very what, 20 years. I think they said. But this is one company against a multimillion dollar company against a whole community. And this whole community has been dealing with the traffic issue on maple for years. We have been told over and over and over again, they are going to fix it. In fact, the last time we went to court for this was when they're trying to put a goodwill in her backyard. We went around, took pictures and I'm telling you, outside of the building were behind the building, which we would be looking at. was just so bad. We just. We're really kind of just worried about what's going on in there and that's why we, you know, go with them to try to adapt something that we could all be happy with that. I mean, this isn't to say that whoever's buying this place, is it going to turn around and you know, put something there like, you know, goodwill or and believe me, I'm not goodwill against them at all. It's worth their every 3, 3, or 4 weeks. My daughter gets gift cards for him. It's just that we move out there. We pair H.O.A. Ys. We're in a housing district that is higher income housing. It's going affect our house that I for everybody out there. And the city has and nothing about Maple Street. You can go at 705, and I I really I hope everybody does this go at 705, down maple to get to the school. They have 4 schools on the left that they turn to get to. 4 of them. All our kids all years. But a lot of our kids go down that street sometime that street is backed clear to wear that like that small little trailer park where you reapply, people come to town rat. It is backed up that far. If there is a a problem with like a car breaks down, they have no access road even pull over and they go to the there's a wreck, we have to reroute traffic. other thing is is they had just build housing right next to this property line, which is in. That we're talking about a whole bunch of housing went up. There's housing going up everywhere around this area. I think Mayor Trust is just being a little too picky who they're going to bought, sell to. And there's a stipulation from what we understand is if they buy this property, they need to buy the property. Some property Audi's. I'm sorry. This is one company against the whole community that it's going affect. Something has got to and I mean, the city is expanding out there crazy. We just had apartment set 13th and 100 and the 53rd are 13 and 100 35th go up. Were there start a new area where the intersection is for the school to go up. And it's just getting worse. It is. It's it's not safe for kids. They need to do something about Maple. So it's basically the safety of her kids and one company against a whole community that does not want it. That will be affected by it. Thank you. That's all I have to Any questions. I'm sorry. Thank you. >> I will ask the question to back to This is a part of the cip. I would assume regarding expansion of for construction of Maple Street. Can someone give us an update regarding Maple and any construction projects that are now slated for 26. But as council member Johnson just what would be the process or to even move that out? >> There is a good I was looking for director public works and he's not here. We'd have to find out where we are in the design may not be a dollar issue as much as it is. The practicality of getting the design work completed and then get it out to bid. But will take I will talk to staff about Yeah, I know they approved a large dollar amounts to get this started to get like something planned out for it. >> But I just thought it was kinda. I mean, here we're doing this. And and now they're put money toward this. It shook asked to, you know, make the complaint and to go against us for them to throw money at to finally get Mapleton. remember thank you, Mayor >> I did talk to Paul right for the meeting. We approved $330,000 to decide the road. Tensions design the road all the way from 100 35th 167. It's just slated to get a that first. I'll finished. In Twenty-twenty 6, however, 13 design all of it. There's a good chance they would finish. So. Again, the Cip is coming and and we can get that moved up process. does need it very, very badly. My wife accidentally went there morning she attests to everything you say. So it's or is he been doing this for years. >> Yeah, they've been promised for over a decade comment here. I'm sorry. But the area is in regards to. That. They're trying to, you know, build on. That's where it goes from 4 lanes to 2 lanes just in the last 2 years. We have seen cars flipped right there. I mean, not get now accident completely flip over. And it's easily into the And if there's they have to work on electrical things or anything else, company comes out and puts their their truck rake in one of the lanes. So we have one lane. Going both ways. Michelle, thank you very much for your comments. 48 for she's gotten. I'm just speaking for a lot of people right I understand we hit and >> and maybe maybe Councilman Glasscock and go over we had we're going do. Organized a meeting Saturday. 2 o'clock is it which is right across the street and maybe you can overlook that. Yeah, the reigning questions I have are for Seth. So thank you, Miss player for coming I do have a few questions for staff just the capacity size of the building parking limitations what would be allowed under the current for the proposed zoning regulations when it comes parking lot size capacity building. Get out your way. >> Sure. terms the size, there's nothing specific that would regulate the size other than can they fit in the envelope that would be allowed in terms of setbacks? Can they provide enough parking for the land because the zoning code has parking requirements based on specific land uses. gets very specific. whether or not they could meet those parking requirements and still have room left over for the building to accommodate the structure interior that they wish. Those are the only parameters that they that they have at this time. >> Of hours of operation are those limited by any of the current or proposed zoning? No, no, and we do see that in some zoning cases in terms of this P o, no, there's hours of operation limits. >> I think that's all the questions and we'll have further discussion. But I think is the questions I have. >> Any further comments from the bench? >> Now turn to So I again want to thank you for coming to the meeting. I want to Councilman Johnson. Again, this is unusual just both being shared. Some glad that you brought me into the conversation that we're able to meet with residents. We had about 5 residents as well as the investor looking at the property. Join us just to talk about concerns and figure out ways to reach a collaborative approach with it, too. So I want to thank the neighbors. Patricia show Jacob Randy and then Jeanne, who was unable to be there, but was organizing a lot of that as well. Some of the concerns that we had specifically that we talked about the neighbors and also the Bicester look at the property for potential zoning changes that I think useful for this is no drive-thru restaurant, especially with traffic concerns in this area that we would limit the ability to have drive-thru, as you can see from the I think when you see in right there and it goes down near Eisenhauer, just the capacity for people to enter and exit as just not conducive are safe. In addition, I think staff for putting the tree and fencing requirements on there. And I'm glad to see that it's one and a half times the normal required link this well, in night Club license. And as that under the previous policy or the doctor the top 10 officially. And I could possibly. >> it has been in terms of the again, dealing with the definitions. It does not necessarily affect this one directly. But does affect this one is the original and the way that it was written. It's this p o does not actually pro it. It only specifies with the allowed uses are it's much shorter less than if they did it the reverse, which is we strike out all these different uses. So in the permitted uses entertainment, establishment and nightclub in the city are not listed. So they are not permitted on the site. Okay. >> The testing. I know that was a concern for individuals as well. also for the record, I called the city is not what we traditionally Michael, city that's still under the current. Policy for this or that be adopted. A new definition of nightclub and that has been modified. So nightclub in the city for the city, which Dakin of those establishments with capacity of 300 or more. >> we don't we would not know which one would apply to this site until there was a proposal on. We got what the occupancy amount was for So that would have to be a separate vote. So I would suggest if you if you're looking to prohibit it, make sure that it it's not allowed on this property and it currently is not limited. It is not allowed. So it's already prohibited. It has think and road expansion is another one of my concerns that I would love to see >> where cip how to do it. I think maple across the entire street from a 400 67th all the way too downtown Maple is one of my priority I think there's a lot of improvements that could be done along there, especially as a major after away. So those are some of the comments I I just wanted to make a comment. And and we can certainly clear by with public But I think last week we just approved the design concept from April. And it's my understanding from last week's green sheet that was going to take a year to design. >> So that would mean, you know, 25 it's not really as much a question moving it up in the cip because it takes a year to design it.
