Heat. Heat. Heat up here. Council member Barrosa Deod, would you please listen in the pledge? I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. This evening, council is grateful to have Bishop Apostle Prince, uh, founder and general overseer of Charisma World International Ministry to pray with us. Bishop, welcome to council. Good evening everyone. Good evening. Yes. Thank you very much for inviting me for such a wonderful meeting. I'm honored to be here. Um let's pray. Father, we thank you this evening. We give you glory for allowing us to come and sit on tables to discuss your city. We pray that you give us the wisdom to make decisions that will affect us in our generation and the generation yet unborn. We pray oh God for the United States of America. We pray for the state of Ohio. We pray for the president. We pray for the mayor. We pray for the governor of Columbus. We pray for the president of this council and all his cabinets and everyone involved in decision making in this city. We pray that Lord you will lead us not in our own mind but with your wisdom. Like Solomon asked you Lord I need wisdom so that I can make good decisions to affect my time and my people. We pray for decision not for our own but the people of this city. Those that are born here, those that were not born here, those that are coming and the future of America. We pray that every plan of the enemy that will fight against decisions here, we come against it in the name of Jesus. Let your spirit lead us not because we are leaders but leaders that have the mindset of God that we can make decisions and plans even the people that are not even in this city when they come there's room for them to settle. Columbus will be the number one city in America and people will move from north, south, east and west of the United States to come and settle here. And I pray that your plan for this city and this council will come to pass. Not the plan of our own but the plan that you have for us. The Bible says your thoughts are not our thoughts and your plans are not our plans. We pray for oh God that your plan will reign in this city and at the end of the day when you have made good decisions and everyone in this city benefits from our decision we will say oh God we thank you for how far you brought us. We glorify your name that today will be a wonderful meeting that we have never even had before. Thank you oh Lord for allowing us and making a way for us the thing that we haven't even thought of. May your wisdom bring it unto us. The Bible says that if anyone asks of wisdom, he should ask of God. Not the wisdom of this world, but the wisdom of God. So that we can make this city the best for us and the generations that are yet to move in this city. We give you glory and we honor you. In Jesus mighty name we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen.

Uh, certainly. May I have a motion to remove ordinance 1698? Yes. Clerk, please call the row. Bankston Barrosa Padilla Brown. Dorren's favor. Remy President Harden. Orange is removed. Thank you, Madam Cler, for reading the uh consent agenda. We have two speakers on the consent agenda. First speaker is Mr. Nate Wilkins speaking on ordinance 1770 1612 Arlington Avenue. Mr. Lieutenant George Wilkins. I'm uh speaking in favor of 1771 2022. Uh we talk about u 50 units to be constructed in this um I believe it's the Moi Homes LLC for $8,000. But before I before I to pass this, I want to suggest a certain amount of money of $8,000 uh $7589 for the place that's going on to Mcdow Place. Um I don't know what that property look like if it's a vacant land, but we want to utilize that 50 units for low income. you know, it seem like there's not enough lowincome single mothers, single fathers, or something out there to to subsidize this. So, I would just like to know where this is going to be located if if it's going to be located somewhere around shopping centers, the bus line, the hospitals where they can have more accessibility to uh doctor's office, uh healthc care facilities and things and stuff like that. But again, I just like to see this somewhere in a dense area where people can shop, gather a place or something like that, not somewhere outside the city limits. Thank you for your time. Thank you, Mr. Wilkins. Director, are you able to speak to this ordinance? Uh, yes. So, the McKinley Manor is going to be located out on West Broad Street. Uh, Mr. Mr. Wilkins also mentioned McDow Place which is also McDow Road just uh west of the Sciota Peninsula project that's being developed. Thank you director. Uh we have one final speaker on the consent agenda. Mr. uh Joe Motil speaking on ordinance 1801 uh in the development department. Mr. Motel, welcome back to council. Yes sir. Joe Motel 167 West Cook Road, Columbus, Ohio. Uh, President Harden, Prom Brown, members of city council. While I'm not completely against the use of $900,000 of ARP funds to pay for the convention cent's upgrading of their ventilation system in order to protect visitors and employees from possible airborne transmission of viruses and pathogens. But what continues to dismay and irritate me is not that one dime of the $187 million of City of Columbus taxpayer ARP funds has been spent on providing not even one unit of affordable housing for an additional with housing for an additional with in addition with an uh for those of annual income of $35,000 or less. And not one dime of these ARP funds has been spent on affordable housing period. Yet, since March of 2020, in June of this year, 33,000 evictions were filed in Franklin County. 17,000 were filed in Columbus alone from March of 2020 to August of 2021. And we all know that the number of 54,000 individuals paying more than 50% of their incomes towards paying rent is far greater now than it was when that number was 54,000 and reported in 2017. And because the mayor was too shortsighted to calculate the need for a larger bond package for affordable housing in 2019, the 2019 $50 million affordable housing bond package that the mayor boasted about back then has been depleted since early this year. Therefore, the city has gone seven months without being able to assist lowincome nonprofit affordable housing developers with bond funds and will not be able to assist with any bond funds until next year as long as the November 2022 affordable housing bond package passes. All the while, the mayor and the city council continue to hoard about $135 million that remain of the taxpayers's ARP funds while depriving thousands of individuals the right to decent housing. And why hasn't the mayor or the city council chosen to get together with their Democratic Party, Franklin County Commissioner colleagues on combining no less than $60 million each of taxpayer ARP funds towards affordable housing. The city of St. Paul, Minnesota, which is nearly half the population of Columbus, displayed its leadership by partnering with its county officials to combine a total of $74 million of their ARP funds to construct up to a thousand units for those at 30% AMI in St. Paul. But here in Columbus, not a dime by the city or the county. And where is Intel in the Columbus Partnership's investments into our affordable housing crisis? Individuals, families, and the homeless are suffering and can't wait for zoning changes, CRA set aside reform in exchange for tax abatements, a November affordable housing bond package, and short-term solution grants and rental assistance. Allocating ARP funds for affordable housing is far from quote advocating for progressive policies, but it is plain and simple logic. You have heard affordable housing advocates and others throughout the city pleading for these funds to be spent for affordable housing for over a year now. Waiting any longer is not an option and Columbus citizens deserve an explanation tonight as to why not a dime of these funds have been allocated towards building affordable housing units. Thank you. Be happy to answer any questions. Sorry. Thank you, Mr. Motel. Are there any questions or comments for Mr. Martial um on this piece? See that? Thank you, sir. Uh are there any other questions or comments on uh the consent portion of the agenda? Seeing none, we have a motion for approval. Cler, please call the role. Mr. Bankston, I voice. Yes. with the exception of ordinance 1575 1698 1721 1757-2022 from which I am abstaining Miss Barrosa Deep Padilla yes Miss Brown yes with the exception of 111X 15 16 1769 uh 1770-2022 on which I'm abstaining Mr. Dorren, yes. Miss Favor, yes. With the exception of 1806 1689 1899-2022 for which I'm abstaining. Mr. Rey, President Hart, yes. Ordinance are passed. We'll now proceed with the second reading of 30day and table legislation. The first committee to come for council is the economic development committee chair by council member Bangston. Council member, the floor is yours. Thank you, President Harden. tonight in economic development committee for second reading. We just have uh one resolution 0108x-2022 to appoint a member to the board of trustees of the Jeffrey Park new community authority as required by chapter 349 of the Ohio Robias code and to declare an emergency. Uh if there are no questions or comments from my colleagues, I move for pass. I I first move uh to remove resolution 0108x-2022 off of the table by voice. Cler, please call the role by voice. Mr. Bankston, yes. Miss Berosa Padilla, yes. Miss Brown, yes. Mr. Dorren, yes. Miss Favor, yes. Mr. Rey, yes. President Harden, pass. Uh, next I move for adoption. Uh, clerk, please call the role. Bank. Is there a second? Second. Clerk, please call the role. Bankston, Barrosa, Deep Padilla, Brown, Doran's favor. Remy, President Harden. Uh, thank you, Council President. May I move to the Small and Minority Business Committee? Sure. Thank you. Uh tonight in the small and minority business committee, we have ordinance 1825-2022 to authorize the appropriation of $15,000 within the job growth sub fund for the small business training service program to authorize and direct the director of the department of human ser resources to implement uh the small business training services program and to declare an emergency. Uh, this ordinance is in partnership with between council and our very own citywide training and development office within the department of human resources. Uh, it provides $15,000 in funding for the continuation of their small business training services program. For those who are un uh unfamiliar, the city training and development office provides city of Columbus employees and the public a robust suite of innovative trainings that foster personal, professional, and organizational development. In an effort to be intentional and direct in our support of small businesses, the small business training program allows local small businesses free access to numerous classes offered by the city of Columbus citywide training and development office. Uh classes are designed to improve the professional skills of workers and professional development sessions include courses focusing on both hard and soft skills. The co courses provided by this program include but are not limited to computer courses in Microsoft Excel, Word and PowerPoint, courses on marketing uh with social media and courses on leadership and team building. Uh the small business uh small businesses who are interested in taking advantage of this great program can reach out to CTD.gov for more details. Uh, I want to take a second to thank Council President Harden and Council Member Remy, chair of our administration committee, uh, for partnering with my office to fund the continuation of this great program. Uh, hearing the success stories of so many of our small business that have gone through this critical training, whether it be around DE and I uh, like I said, Microsoft Office and so many others has been great. So, also want to acknowledge our director of human resources, director Nikki Brandon, for her leadership uh on this. Council President or Council Member Remy, did you all have any comments that you wanted to add? No, I guess I would just shout out uh one of our former colleagues who helped start this program a long time ago, Council Member Tyson. Uh and thank her for her leadership and getting us here. Absolutely. And it's a great program to to continue. So, there are no other questions or comments from my colleagues. I move for passage. Second. Clerk, please call the role. Bankston, Bosi, Padilla, Brown, Dor in favor. Reie, President Harden, passed. And that is all I have in my committees this evening. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Next committee to come before council is the public service and transportation committee chaired by council member Rosa Deep Padilla. Council member, the floor is yours. Thank you. I have one ordinance today in public service and transportation. Ordinance 1812 2022 to authorize the director of the Department of Public Service to enter into a grant agreement with the Ohio State University Foundation in support of the Columbus Transportation Leadership Endowment Fund to authorize the expenditure of $150,000 within the Street Construction Maintenance and Repair Fund to authorize the return of any funds that may be unused and to declare an emergency. So women represent 13% of the engineering workforce and black and brown people represent less than 10% of the engineering and overall STEM workforce. And while we see the numbers of black of women and black and brown students graduating with engineer or STEM degrees, less and less of them are entering the actual workforce every day. So with access and equity at the heart of this effort, the city of Columbus aims to advance the needs of historically underserved populations in the field of engineering. The contribution to this endowment will provide scholarships to undergraduate civil environmental and geodetic if you know that bonus points engineering students. So scholarship recipients, the number of recipients and the amount of each scholarship should be deter or will be determined uh in accordance with the college in consultation with the student financial aid and the college's office of diversity outreach and inclusion. So this is a very exciting opportunity. I'm going to go ahead and hand it over to director Gallagher to not only talk about this endowment but also what public service is doing to encourage more folks getting into the career of uh engineering. So director Gallagher, thank you council president Harden. Uh, council chair broia, we are really excited about this program. It's one of several that we have started. Um, but this started with the city's first ever diversity, equity, inclusion plan. And this was one of the tactic tactics that we listed in there was to figure out a way to get more minority students and engineering students interested in engineering but also interested in coming and doing public work once they got that degree and just learning about the work that we do on a day-to-day basis not only here at the city of Columbus um but in that government space. So, we are doing um $150,000 and what that will do is $100,000 will go into an endowment that will last in perpetuity and give three scholarships every year to three different students um that are going into the engineering field. And we are hoping um that that can go to um students from neighborhoods in Columbus. That's what it will be aimed towards. but they can't um force that to happen. But that will be the goal. And then the other 50,000 um will go for five years, $10,000 a year into a program called preface, which at Ohio State it's for um students that are going into their first year in engineering just to learn about the different fields and have companies and people like uh city of Columbus come in and talk to them about the variety of um things that engineers do on a day-to-day basis. we get to come in and talk to them, teach them about us. They get to learn from real engineers what we do during the summer before they start their engineering program. Um, so that is what we're doing with Ohio State. And just so I don't continue to babble along because I'm really excited about these programs, we're also working with um Wilbur Force College. Um, we're working with Columbus State on some other types of programs. We're working with um C, I think it's Central State. Does that sound right? Central State. Um, so those are three that we're also working on, different types of programs, but not necessarily for engineers, but with some other programs that they have in place. And then we're also trying to set up some co-op programs with University of Cincinnati and University of Dayton because they already have those programs in place. So, we're trying to reach out to different universities with different types of programs, see what sticks, what doesn't stick, what works the best. um but really work with the universities on programs they already have in place so we're not recreating uh the wheel. So happy to take any questions but um thank you for letting me share what we're doing this evening. Really appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you Director Gallagher. Are there any questions or comments from my colleagues? Yes. Thank you madam chair. director. Uh, one really excited about this program and it seems his intention is to encourage, you know, uh, folks who have are not, uh, participating now as as much at a higher rate, uh, women and young people of color, um, to not just be go into the engineering field, but also to participate in public service once they they graduate. Just wondering because the entire field needs more women and and people of color in it. Are we able to are are we is there a way to engage the private sector also to to support these type of efforts as we uh as we work uh towards our hopefully united goals? Yep. Absolutely. And Ohio State has private entities already involved in these programs. Um actually we will be one of the few public entities involved. Um but we will once we get all the details worked out, we're going to do a press release with Ohio State. Um, and I'm sure that they would be more than happy to kind of talk about some of the other companies that are already doing this, but yes. Thank you. Absolutely. And as a uh the mother of a aspiring Latina engineer, I mean, she's only in sixth grade, but she has her life way more figured out than I ever did. Um, I thank you and I'm excited about this program. So, um, with no other questions or comments from my colleagues, um, I move for passage by voice. Second clerk, please call the role by voice. Mr. Bankston, yes. Miss Barrosa Padilla, yes. Miss Brown, yes. Mr. Dorren, yes. Miss Favor, Mr. Remy, yes. President Horton, yes. Ordinances passed. Thank you. Can I move on to Veterans and Senior Affairs, please? Thank you. So, I have two pieces or two ordinances today. They are kind of twin ordinances, two sides to a uh program. So, uh, ordinance 1376 2022 to authorize the director of recreation and parks to appropriate the amount of 1 million8, no 108,185,000 within the recreation and parks grant fund for the recreation and parks department to provide home care and assisted living services to older adults in connection with a pre-administration screening system. providing options and resources today or passport program. It's a Medicare waiver program in central Ohio and to declare an emergency. Most older adults prefer to live independently in their homes in their communities surrounded by friends and family for as long as they can, but some need help. So, the Passport Medicare waiver program helps Medicaid eligible older adults get the long-term services and supports they need to stay in their homes and other community settings rather than enter nursing homes. So some of the services they includes personal care, chore services, emergency response, medical equipment and supplies, social work counseling, medical transportation, out of home respit and more. So this piece of legislation will authorize an appropriation of grant funds or the continued operation of the program into the next year. So this is the first part of this uh legislation for this program. So do are there any questions or comments for my colleagues? Seeing none, I move for passage by voice. Second. Cler, please call the role by voice. Mr. Bankston, yes. Miss Barrosa Padilla, yes. Miss Brown, abstain. Mr. Dorren, yes. Miss Faber, yes. Mr. Reie, yes. President Harden, yes. Ordinances pass. Thank you. Uh the second ordinance 13862022 to authorize and direct the director of recreation and parks to enter into contracts with the agencies listed on the attachment here to for the provision of pre-administration screening system providing options and resources today or passport home care and assisted living services for older adults in central Ohio and to authorize the expenditure of 81,600,000 from the recreation and parks grant fund and to declare an emergency. So there are 490 passport and assisted living agencies that provide services to older adults in accordance with the Ohio Department of Aging contract requirements. So the program the passport program currently serves approximately 8,700 individuals that are in the COA area. So that's um Columbus and surrounding area. And this funding will be allocated from July 2022 to June 2023. So this is actually the funds to administer the program itself and to give it to um these uh 490 agencies. So any questions or comments for my colleagues? Perfect. Seeing none, I move for passage by voice. Second clerk, please call the role by voice. Mr. Bankston, yes. Miss Barrosa Padilla, yes. Miss Brown, Mr. Dorren, yes. Miss Faber, yes. Mr. Rey, President Harden, yes. Ordinances pass. Thank you. That is all for me this evening. Thank you, Madam Chair. Next committee to come before council is the finance committee chair by the president pro Tim. President Proim, the floor is yours. Thank you so much, President Harden. Um, tonight in finance, we are starting with ordinance 00085X-2022 to adopt the 2023 tax budget and to authorize and direct the city auditor to submit said budget to the county and to declare an emergency. This is a yearly resolution passed by council. The filing of the tax budget with the Franklin, Fairfield, and Delaware County budget commissions allows Columbus to receive local government funds. These funds are monies collected by the state and shared with political subdivisions like Columbus via the counties. This tax budget will also establish the property tax rates for the city uh for calendar year 2023. Um uh on June 27th we table this resolution and as in previous years the second reading tonight will act as its public hearing. Um Auditor Kilgore, before I turn it over for comments or questions for my colleagues, would you have any comments to share on the 2023 tax budget?

Bangston Boseid Padilla Brown Dorren favor Reie President Harden removed. I move for adoption of this resolution. Clerk please call the role. Bankston Baros Padilla Brown Dorren favor Reie President Harden removed or passed. Adopted. Thank you. All of those. Um the next two ordinances in finance both have to do with the city's spending plans for capital projects. Our plan takes two forms. our multi-year boiler plate plans called the capital improvements program and then a capital budget for the current year which pulls from that plan. We're tableabling both pieces on tonight's agenda to continue our public hearing series that's currently underway so that we can receive residents feedback on priorities for their own neighborhoods. Last week we held two hearings, one on the west side, one on the north side. I want to thank my colleagues for their participation in those hearings. We'll hold two more hearings this week. um tomorrow at Family Missionary Baptist Church to cover the southside and downtown Capital Investments. That's from 4 to 5:30.

Are there any questions or comments from colleagues before I move to the pieces of legislation? All right. Ordinance 0134X-2022 to accept the capital improvements program 2022 to 2027 as described herein as the primary guide for future capital improvements budget ordinances and to declare an emergency. I move to table indefinitely. Clerk please call the role. Bankston Baros Padilla Brown Dorren Favor Reie President Harden table.

I move to table this ordinance indefinitely. Cler, please call the role. Bangston Burisad Padilla Brown Doran's favor reie president Harden table. Next in finance we have ordinance 1808-2022 to authorize the director of finance and management to expend funds to bind the city's insurance program for the term commencing August 1st 22 and terminating July 31st 23 to authorize the expenditure of up to 1,83,000 and to declare an emergency. In 2019, the city entered into um insurance brokerage and risk engineering services contract with USI insurance services LLC. Today's ordinance proposes the third of four renewals of the contract which will keep the contract active until July 31st of next year. In order to fund the contract renewal, funds will be extracted from the departments of finance, public safety, public utilities, and public service. This ordinance also authorizes director of finance to approve any necessary changes in the city's insurance program. Emergency action is requested to allow for uninterrupted insurance brokerage services and the immediate binding of property, boiler and machinery, the general and excess liability and aviation insurance coverage for the insurance year 22 to 23 to protect the city's assets.

This contract is for a period of one year beginning September 1st with the option to renew for three additional one-year terms subject to annual approval and appropriation. Emergency action is requested to expedite authorization of this contract to facilitate and maintain uninterrupted services. Any questions? Seeing none, I move for passage.

Tonight, we are legislating $1.5 million to Legal Aid Society of Columbus for enhanced legal representation as part of their tenant advocacy program at eviction court. Nationally, data shows that 90% of landlords have legal representation at eviction court, while fewer than 10% of tenants have representation. Tenants with legal representation are much more likely to avoid an eviction judgment and keep possession of their homes than unrepresented tenants. In Columbus, when tenants are represented by TAP attorneys, only 1.1% of the cases result in a judgment against the tenant at a hearing, compared to roughly 60% of non-Tap involved cases. In addition to these primary effects, a right to counsel offers several secondary benefits to defendants who are sued for eviction. Attorneys may be able to keep eviction filings off tenants records, arrange for alternative housing, negotiate reasonable amounts of time for tenants to move out, reduce or eliminate money owed to the landlord, or help tenants apply for rental assistance. With the CO 19 pandemic continuing to cause financial insecurity for many residents of Columbus, eviction filings are rising and the increase in eviction hearings will continue into 2023. With these dollars, the Legal Aid Society of Columbus will be able to staff additional TAP attorneys and support staff for one year starting in the fall of 2022 and happy to announce that this is the official start of housing for all 2.0. Uh so we're incredibly excited about uh this legislation tonight. Are there any additional questions or comments by my colleagues? Seeing none, to move for passage. Second.

Uh, we'll only hear staff presentation for ordinances that have a disapproval from a recommending body or if we have a public speaker signed up to speak against the ordinance. We've received five public speakers slips this evening. uh and written testimony from five uh individuals that have been provided to each council office. Uh all speakers on a council variance, including city staff, area commissioners, and applicants, and members of the public, will be sworn in before they give testimony. Representatives of an area commission applicants are always able to speak on an ordinance and do not need to fill out a speaker slip. On the advice of the city attorney, I will now swear in city staff. Please stand and raise your right hand and be sworn in. Do you swear or affirm the testimony you're about to give shall be the truth and nothing but the truth, as you shall answer the pains or penalties of perjury? If so, please say I do. Thank you. First, in the uh reszoning portion and amendments portion of our agenda tonight, we have uh reszoning 1800-2022 to reszone 5430 North Hamilton Road being 1.55 plus acres located 360 plus feet east of North Hamilton Road and 800 plus feet north of Thompson Road from CPD commercial plan development district to CPD commercial plan development district. The applicant is Equity Inc. Uh care of Dave Perry agent proposed use is limited commercial. Uh the city's department recommendation is approval. The development commission recommendation is approval 60. The Northland Community Council recommendation is approval 1102. Uh we do have two public speakers signed up to speak against this ordinance tonight. So at this time I will ask for uh planning manager from the Department of Building Zone and Services, Shannon Pine, uh to make a staff presentation. Shannon, the floor is yours. Yes. Good evening. The site is zone CPD commercial plan development district as part of ordinance number 1947 2015 Z-15-017 and will share vehicular access with properties to the immediate west which front on North Hamilton Road. The proposed CPD district is to replace the registered site plan referenced with Z15-017, which shows this area to be developed with a single commercial building containing 13,400 square ft oriented parallel to the east property line. With this request, two buildings are proposed with building one being 6,300 square feet parallel to the south property line and building two being 7,500 square ft oriented parallel to the east property line. The intended uses office and preschool are currently currently permitted by Z15-017. The CPD district proposes C4 commercial district uses, commits to a site plan, and includes development standards addressing setbacks, site access, landscaping, screening, and building materials. The text also includes code modifications for parking lot aisle and maneuvering. The site is within the planning area of the Northland plan volume 2, which recommends preserve district for this location. and that is a uh district that calls for a mix of single and multi-unit residential development with some commercial uses. No specific land use guidelines apply to the site. Relevant commitments within the CPD plan and text are carried over from the existing CPD district and the request also remains consistent with the development pattern along North Hamilton Road. Therefore, the city department's recommendation is for approval and I'm happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Thank you, Miss Pine. Do my colleagues have any questions for Miss Bond? Seeing none, I'd ask for the uh represent of the applicant, Dave Perry, to provide remarks. Even Mr. Perry, floor is yours. Good evening. Thank you. Good evening, President Harden, zoning chair Dorren, and all council members. My name is Dave Perry. I'm the agent for Applicant Equity, Inc. on this uh ordinance. In uh 2015, I handled the resoning of 3.6 acres that included this 1.5 acres. The reasonzoning was to CPD. The Kroger fuel facility has been built. Uh, Bank of America has built an office building on the second parcel. Bank of America went through a comparable process with uh, the city staff and development commission and and this body to make minor changes to the site plan for construction of a two-story office building which is now present at the site. This one and a half acres is the remaining acreage of the 2015 resoning and uh the proposal is as stated by staff. The the uses are the uses are permitted. The a 13,800 plus or minus foot two-story building is proposed to be two one-story building, one for medical office and one for daycare. the um all commitments made in 2015 are repeated. In 2015, flashing back a little bit, it was before the Hamilton Road widening was done. It was before access specific access points were determined. Um the traffic staff asked that we provide access through the three and a 3.6 acres to uh provide vehicular connections to the property to the north. The property to the north is the opponent speakers that you'll hear from. U because it wasn't known where signals would occur at that point or whether the property to the north would get full turning access or limited access or or or whatever. The property to the north is in Plane Township. It is zon. It has a house that has had commercial uses in the garage for years. And but regardless, we were we were asked to provide those potential vehicular connections to get to a signal that is to be built on the frontage of the Bank of America and Kroger fuel parcels of this property. All those commitments um are repeated. This is a minor change to the site plan. The the north setback is actually increased. And even when when I wrote the development text for the 2015 ordinance, um because there was some residential component of the property to the north, even those owned commercial in Plane Township, there were additional additional development standards exceeding code requirements established for the north setback. Um they are repeated and and actually increased in this ordinance. The parking setback is deeper from the north. So, um this is this is a this this ordinance has solely to do with minor changes to a site plan. Um Northland Community Council heard um the points of the opponents and spoke or voted unanimously in support of the application as before you. So did the development commission and staff supports it. And um if there if there are questions I'm happy to answer them or if you want more detail about what's happened since 2015 happy to happy to provide that. Thank you Mr. Perry. Do my colleagues have any questions for Mr. Perry. Seeing none I would move to ourh first public speaker for the evening. Uh Mr. Timothy Ryell. Mr. Ryell when you uh get to the podium if you wouldn't mind stating any relationship you have to the the property in question here. And you have three minutes for public comment, sir. Thank you. My name is Tim RLE from the law firm of Bailey Cavaleri. I'm appearing today on behalf of Sarah Rastigar, the owner of the property to the north, as it was, uh, indicated, 5454 North Hamilton Road. The concern primarily today uh it was raised by the applicant at a meeting before the uh North Community Council in February of this year where he announced the stated intention of this resoning is to deny and terminate Ms. Rastigar's uh direct access to Hamilton Road. This action if if it is carried out will severely uh uh decrease the value of her property uh including any future development. Uh this is this the zoning of this property. Uh the history of it dating back to 2015 bears this out because the original uh uh zoning included a dual vehicular traffic on the far along the far eastern property line of the applicant's lot including the south uh property line. Uh that has now been eliminated. Um uh I think the current site plan calls for some kind of grassy null along those two property lines. Uh it further uh after a split of the properties. Um there was a an additional access easement provided for in in between the two lots that were split. And now this application overburdens that easement um with uh elimination of maneuvering uh and the placement of a dumpster uh right in in into that easement. Uh in addition, the bank to the to the uh west has uh a lane for access to its um ATM machines. So it m it makes uh use of this uh middle uh access e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e easement problematic. There is an additional access easement to the front of the property. uh the closer the the access e easement is to Hamilton Road, Miss Rastagar believes that uh the more likely it is that her direct access to Hamilton Road will be terminated. Um, and and as I said, the history uh of of this resoning effort uh bears that out that she is being forced to use the the the front uh access near Hamilton Road and will likely uh lose her direct access and the value of her property. We would uh suggest that uh the council table this ordinance uh to give the parties an opportunity to uh put terms or a provision in the ordinance protecting Ms. Rashagar's direct access to Hamilton Road. Any questions? Any questions? Thank you. Thank you. We had a second speaker slip for this ordinance in opposition. Do we have that individual here? Ma'am, is that you, Miss uh Restigard? Yeah, floor is yours. Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Sarah Rascar. I own the property on 5454 North Hamilton Road. Uh my property is not part of their um CPD. I this is a standalone property. It's a private property. I never agreed to have any easement into my property or from my property. Um this Mr. um Perry in the Northland commun in the Northland um community meeting on February 23rd, he told a room full of people that I have I'm going to lose my direct access to the road. I've been there for 27 years, folks. 27 years. This is the white hair I got because I've been there for 27 years. He told to a room full of people that I have to go through his parking lot in order to get to the road. Um, I am going to lose my access. Their application right now is in direct violation of the application that they filed back in 2015 Z15 017. It shows a crossaxis way at the back of the property. That's 600 ft away from Hamilton Road. They have eliminated that in their new application. Their other application in Z19063, it shows a crossaxis in the middle of the property that's 300 ft away from North Hamilton Road. Currently they're asking for code revisions, code variances which would eliminate practically eliminate that cross access. It basically forces the cross access to the to the front of the property. This is just an insidious way that this applicant is trying to cut me off of a road that I've been traveling in and out for the last 27 years. I purchased this property, like I said, in 1995. It was in a dire shape. I fixed it up based on a single mother's salary. All these years, I've been trying to keep up this property. I bought this property not because the bank was loaning me the entire property value. I had to get a promisory note from the from the seller in order to purchase purchase the property. I have shown that to the city folks. Um they know that this these are these are facts. I am I am describing to you all in here. I I purchased the property because I wanted to have a business at this location. I immediately reszoneed the property in Plane Township as a commercial entity. I ran a business out of this place for a long time and right now the property is leased to a bike shop. My entire property value folks, you all know that hinges on this access, direct access to the road. Now, this developer and their high friends in the high offices, they are trying to push me to go through their parking lot in order to access the road. That would devalue my property beyond belief. This this property was supposed to be carrying me through my old ages. It was supposed to be I was supposed to be able to pay my debts and move on. But right now, um I am at the mercy of Mr. Perry and his client. I am respectfully asking for this for this council to see where I'm at at this point in time and help me out with this. save my access to the road that I've had for the last 27 years. It's not that I'm just there as a single, you know, as as a residential place. I have operated the business from this location. Thank you for your comments. Do any of my colleagues have any questions or comments? Council member Bankson, what was the address again that you 5454 North Hamilton Road? I share a unfortunately I share a property line with the with the applicant. Um this has been going on for so many years. There are so every time I come in here before any committee I I have to spend a lot of money. I I am not here just because you know I I'm trying to take your time. This is costing me a lot of money. And this is in the township, correct? Uh my property is in plain township. Yes sir. Thank you. But c can I say something in here? One day I like to develop my property. I like to sell it to somebody who can develop the property. I have to come to you annex to the city and that's the time that you guys can get my access to the road and I am requesting that I understand the process. I see the process. Help me out to save my access to this road. I believe council member Remy had a question. Yeah. Director Messer or Shannon. Um can Miss Pine, can you explain to me? I'm a little confused. I'm looking at it and I see Bank of America of course is being built there. Is it because they're going to ask her to eliminate a curb cut that on her property? I mean, what why is there an issue here? I mean, I see right in front she has access on Hamilton Road happening here for the last 27 years. Yes, sir. They are get they are putting easement in their property and they're they had three easements in their property. 600 feet away from Hamilton Road, then 300 ft away from Hamilton Road, then 40 feet away from Hamilton Road. They keep obstructing these accesses till you get to the 40t away from Hamilton Road. And and and and Mr. Perry said that in the Northland community uh uh meeting that the city of Columbus is going to take my access to Hamilton Road and I have to drive through his parking lot in order to get to the to the road. I don't even have a dedicated access. I have to go through the back of the cars that they're parked in his parking lot to get to the road. Thank you, Miss Restard. I want to direct that question from Council Member Reie to staff, please. And I will let Dan Blechmmet uh piggy back off of my response, but this resoning is not taking away anybody's access point. The the access easement is in place for the time that this property becomes annexed into the city of Columbus and redevelops. At that point in time during the zoning process, that might be where the division of traffic management would require uh shared access. And I will now turn it over to Mr. Bulock Schmidt to further explain. Yes. And uh council members, just to elaborate, um the city of Columbus has no means to restrict access to an existing property where there's no changes being proposed. that is the Department of Public Service will not be closing any access points uh to the property at 5454 North Hamilton Road uh unless there's a significant redevelopment of the property that may require access changes. So, per our typical procedures, when a property redevelops, the access to a site is is is re-evaluated. Um so there uh the the access easement that was requested initially and is placed it was placed in the zoning text and there are existing access easements for the subject property that is um uh seeking resoning. that that is to provide a benefit to whatever future property owner is there to the north to be able to access the traffic signal and to provide better ingress and egress uh to a potential redevelopment of the property. But to reiterate, we're not seeking we we are not removing any access to Hamilton Road uh for the the property to the north. Thank you, Mr. Bushman. Council member Barrosa Deedia. I'm a visual learner. So when I'm looking at this uh I mean I'm I have it pulled up so we can see from Google Maps on here. So there is access into a parking lot that's in front of the building that that is not being taken away. Council member, can you direct your question to either staff or the Yes, I'm sorry. Yes, I'm I'm directing the question to the Sorry. There is an access point in front and there's a park parking lot in front. So, we're saying that would not be taken away. Um, I'm sorry. The the the parking lot in front. Are are you not understanding the question from what we're looking at the access point? This is Hamilton Road in the front of the the business. Correct. That's showing the site and you're talking about her? Yes, I'm talking about her her um business. Yeah. Yeah. So, this this slide is is outlining the site. What council member Rosia is talking about is we all have her home pulled up on Google Maps and there is like a driveway parking lot right in front of her home. I have a picture in here if I may show this. So, I don't understand how that's interacting with the site. Right. That's the question that I'm asking if the access point in in front this is Hamilton Road her her address. So, I'm just trying to understand what access point would not be what what is in question visually is what I'm asking because it looks like there is a direct access point right in front of her business and I'm not understanding how that would be not accessible anywhere. Correct. That that nothing is changing nothing will be changing uh for for her property uh with that access and parking lot. Okay. So, if I may something, say something. Dan is referring that nothing is changing right now. I'm gonna I'm gonna stop you there. Um, I'm going to ask if any other members have questions for you at this point. U, I'm going to give you a minute to conclude before I allow members to ask additional questions of staff and let the applicant come back. So, if you have anything additionally, I'd like you to conclude at this point. Sure. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that. This is the access I have right now to Hamilton Road. What they're saying, what Dan is saying is that in the future when I want to develop my property, that is my hope and dreams, folks. I've had it for 27 years. I'm hoping one day I can develop this property. That they would close me off this road. They would close off my commercial access to the road and they would have me to go through Mr. Perry's parking lot in order to get to the traffic signal. I don't want the traffic signal. that is not mine. I want to keep my access this road when I develop my property, folks. Does that make sense? Can May may I Yeah. Sorry. May I ask? So, you're saying that it does not sound like your home, right? It's your home. It's a home and business. Ma'am, I have been Hold on one moment. I need to get to my question. I'm so sorry. Um so uh you have a driveway with parking area and your home and what you are talking about is if in the future you decide to um develop your home into a commercial use, you don't want to have to close the current access point that you have. That's what that's what you're worried about. You're not worried about right now someone coming in and closing off the access to your home. Am I hearing you correctly? Okay. Thank you. Yes. My hope and dream is to develop this property one day and and and and and be able to access to the road. If if they close that access, the property value takes a nose dive. I don't have to tell you that, folks. You already know that. Um this is this is my fear. This is my this is my nightmare. This is my nightmare. Thank you. I have I have I have bought this house when it was in a dire shape. as a single mother. I I was I I kept this. I fixed it. Um and and I apologize. This is so emotional for me. I'm sorry. Certainly understand. It's uh very emotional when your property's uh tied up in something. I I don't believe any other council members have questions for you. So, thank you for your testimony this evening. I ask for you to sit down at this point. Thank you. Thank you. Uh do I my colleagues have any questions for the applicant at this point? for the applicant and for staff. I want to know where where are you guys entering? Are you going along between Bank of America and Kroger? Mr. Perry, is that the access point for the property at this time? I just want to make sure I'm clear as I'm looking at it. Sure. Sure. Thank you. Um the only access to the 3.6 six acres which includes Kroger, Bank of America and the equity proposal is the driveway alignment with Hamilton Road that is to be signalized. Um the three property owners are are paying the full cost of the signalization and it is aligned with the blend and place condominiums on the west side of Hamilton. There there is no other access to the site. Let let me add um let me add the there there's obviously some confusion about this. The 2015 access easements and both of both of them are on the Bank of America parcel. The 2015 access easements were requested by traffic staff by Dan Blechmmet to provide an alternative to accessing the signal. It they are they are recorded. They are in place. They are they are there whenever whenever whoever develops the property to the north chooses to access this property. But but they they were not uh they're not intended to displace her access. Nor did I ever say that. But it's a fact of development work that when a property goes through a major redevelopment, the traffic staff looks at access. And so this is this is really a safeguard that upon annexation upon a development proposal if the city says um we we need to your your access becomes right in right out for example and I don't know that that's the case that that will be done by traffic study when her development proposal comes in but what what Dan Blacksmith had me put in the 2015 ordinance is a protection for her. It's not a detriment to her. It provides an alternative means of access. Any other questions for Mr. Perry? Thank you. So, I I just want to be very clear with staff here. What we have before us tonight is a change to the site plan um the concerns of the public speakers um would come to fruition when and if additional development were to happen that would trigger considering whether or not those changes would need to be made to Hamilton Road. Is that a fair characterization? Yes. So, what we're voting on here tonight um is not cutting off that access. Again, if if in fact additional development occurred down the line, that would be something that would go through the the city at that point because of those other events. Correct. That is correct. Thank you. Any additional questions or comments from council members? Just clarifying the additional development going on would be at the initiation of the homeowner turning that property to something commercial. Yes. Not like additional development by other parcel owners around. It's would be that the owner of the home initiating a new commercial development on that home property. That's the only way that that access point would be re-examined by public service to recommend some other traffic flow. Correct. Correct. Okay. Thank you. Any additional questions or comments? So, and again, I appreciate the staff sort of walking us through this um because the the concerns the applicant, which I understand this is this is an emotional uh case when you've invested so much in our property and business. That's ultimately not what is in front of us with this piece of legislation. that is something that could and happen down the line again at their initiation of a of a reasonzoning or variance for them. Um because of that that is um not what we have in front of us at this moment. Uh I move for passage at this time Bangston Barity Padilla Brown Dorance Favor Reie President Harden passed. Thank you.

Next we have uh uh ordinance 0289-2022 to reszone 142 West Whittier Street being 16.54 plus acres located in the north side of West Whittier Street 350 plus feet west of South Front Street from N manufacturing district to CPD commercial plan development district. The applicant is Zimmer Company or Zimmer Development Company LLC Jeff Brown attorney. Proposed use is a mixeduse development city department recommendation is approval. Development commission recommendation is approval 40. The Bury District Commission's recommendation is approval 6. Uh we have three speakers signed up to speak on this reszoning ordinance. So we'll begin with Miss Shannon Pine from the Department of Building Zoning Services for a staff presentation. The site consists of eight undeveloped parcels zoned in the M manufacturing district. The requested CPD commercial plan development district will permit a mixeduse development with a height district of 200 feet. The CPD text includes appropriate use restrictions and supplemental development standards that address traffic access, traffic improvements, pedestrian connections, percentage of affordable units and street trees with code modifications to permit parking spaces to cross parcel lines to not require parking for outdoor dining space and to permit required parking to be located on a different parcel than the uses that they serve. The access has been revised and is now via Mayor Place and Westier Street. Should should um if there is any access or easements proposed through the adjacent Metro Parks property, those would be subject to review and approval by the Metro Parks Board. A concurrent council variance has been filed to permit groundf flooror residential uses and a reduction in the minimum number of required parking spaces for the apartment units to 1.3 spaces per unit from 1.5 spaces per unit. The requested CPD district will permit a mixeduse development that is consistent with the brewery district's plans guidelines encouraging housing as permit as a permitted use on the Whittier Street Peninsula. The development standards and code modifications included in the text and as demonstrated on the site plan are consistent with similar info developments in urban neighborhoods. Staff defers to the brewery district commission's decision on final design related matters. Uh the city department's recommendation is for approval and I'm happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Thank you, Miss Fine. Before we move on to our speakers, I just have a couple questions for the department to sort of center the the discussion a little bit. Um this is not within a community reinvestment area, correct? So, meaning that this project uh would not be would not be eligible for a tax abatement under current law. Is that correct? To my knowledge, no, it is not. Thank you. Um, next, could you talk about that brewery district commission approval? What does that mean for folks that may not be familiar with what that means when you have to build to the development standards of that commission? Uh, so the brewery district review of this proposal is twofold. uh they first make a recommendation on on the resoning itself and the plan that's adopted with this uh resoning ordinance. Uh the second phase of that development review would be when they are actually um going to be filing for building permits. the Berea District Commission would uh issue a certificate of appropriateness on the building design and those uh plans would have to be stamped and a certificate of appropriateness would be issued before building permits could be issued by uh the Department of Building and Zoning Services. Thank you. And going back to that recommendation from the Brewery District Commission. So, one of the things that uh we've talked a lot about this this application going back to the 1992 Brewery District plan um calling for mixeduse residential in this area. So, um, you know, while everyone sees what this area looks like today right next to a park, um, that plan calls specifically out, um, you know, mixeduse residential being part of, um, this area at some point. Is that is that fair? Yes. Thank you. Um, do any of my colleagues have any questions for staff before we get to speakers? Um, last one. um if there are changes that are made from from this point. So there's obviously a site plan, there's various things that the applicant needs to comply with moving forward. If they're not able to meet those standards from the city, um whether it's, you know, storm water or others, what happens to this project? Um after the resoning is approved, it will have to go through a site engineering review. And if there's anything that occurs during the site engineering review that the applicant can't comply with that alters this CPD plan uh significantly then it would have to come back uh to be amended. So ultimately they would not get their permits they could not move forward with with what's before us today. Is that that that is correct. Thank you. Um next would like to ask for a presentation by the applicant care of Jeff Brown attorney Mr. Mr. Brown, the floor is yours, sir. Good evening, President Harden, zoning chair Doran's um council members, my name is Jeffrey Brown. I'm here on behalf of Zimmer Development Company, uh to present this case. Landon Zimmer is here tonight if you have any questions about the development or his company uh as well as our architect and our traffic engineer. About three years ago, uh Landon got us involved and created a Columbus-based development team. We have MBBJ doing the architecture, Osborne Engineering doing our engineering, and Smart Services is our traffic consultant. At the very early stages of the zoning process, we engaged with Tim Maloney and his staff because they are are really our only neighbor. We are a piece of property between railroad tracks and the park. We listen to Tim and his staff. Uh the site plan that you have now is not where we started. Uh the the square footage has been reduced. The large tall office tower has been eliminated. Uh and the number of residential units has been reduced. We met with the zoning and planning staff. We had several meetings with the Brewery District Area Commission. And what you're seeing tonight is the culmination of all those discussions and negotiations. What we were proposing, Tim, if you could just show the site plan. What we are proposing is three residential buildings, five stories of residential, two stories of of parking that goes with it. You see the open space, you see the paths that are all part of our development. This project got unanimous approval from the Brewery District Area Commission. It got unanimous approval by the development commission. We have not had a single person show up in opposition at our zoning meetings. Traffic seems to be the key ingredient in terms of the discussions. Very early. We sat with Tim and said there's got to be a better answer than using Mayor Place. Mayor Place is a street that goes through the park. They have parking on each side. It accesses our piece which is owned by CSX and it also accesses the warehouse development that's owned off by the Bishoff associates. So we said there's got to be a better answer. We shared with him and his staff at least six different options either using the service entrance driveway or coming around the dog park that got relocated from the north end of the property to the south end where we had always talked about trying to get a shared access. Metro Parks rejected all of those options. So we were left with how do we solve the problem if we can't work something out. So our engineers came up with the solution. We have a right in coming off of Whittier. It's a one-way uh street that's going north into our property and then we would have two-way traffic coming out on Mayor Place. That is the only options that we have if Tim won't work with us. It's not the best solution, but it's the one that we have when we have to go alone. We did the normal things that you would expect with this development, which was a traffic study. We prepared that. The city reviewed it, accepted it. The one traffic improvement that they asked us to do was a contribution of over $368,000 to a road intersectional improvement upgrade at Whittier and Front. When we ended up with our own solution to access to the property, the city staff asked us to update our studies. We did that again and we can move forward. The level of service at the intersection of Whittier and Mayor Place, the level of service at our driveway and Mayor Place are level B or better. And when you're talking traffic, B is a really good grade to get. When we sat down and tried to figure out what other things that we could do to improve this project, my client agreed to do a $1 million contribution to the construction of a pedestrian bridge. That's one of the things that had been talked about in the past. How can we connect the brewery district on the east side of the railroad tracks with what's going on on the west side? So, the zoning amendment that has been submitted to the clerk, it includes that. It calls for a $1 million contribution to that bridge or other improvements that would be beneficial to the park or the community in that area. That's a decision to be made by the city and Zimmer. We also agreed to put 10% of our units at 80% AMI. Now, this is a little bit unusual because you see it in the zoning text and the reason it's in the zoning text is we're not in a CRA. So, we are not getting anything back for the 10% that we're setting aside, but it's the right thing to do. More housing, more affordable housing in the city is very important. When you look at this overall site, if you'd go keep going, that shows the pathways, our green space, a connection to the north, a connection to the south. One of the things that the users of the park called for when they did their last master plan were more trails, more connections. This project provides this. Go ahead. The benefits. I won't go through the whole list. Uh but let me just highlight some of these items. You're taking a site that's dirty. It's a it's a current CSX railroad facility and heaven knows what's gone on there. We got to clean that site up to the highest OEPA standards because we were proposing residential. That has to be a benefit for all the surrounding property owners. We created an easement. We got two railroads to work together. Anybody who has tried to deal with the railroads would understand the amazing feat that was. We created an access for ODOT so that they can bring their construction traffic not through the park, not through Mayor Place, but to come across two different railroad tracks as part of the 7071 construction trail connections, more green space, and when you think about it, what better use could you have next to an urban park but residential? This is a good project. the people that would review this and everything, your zoning staff, your planning staff, area commission, development commission, all say yes to this development. And I hope you do tonight. And Mr. Zimmer is available for any questions, our architect, traffic consultant, uh, if you want to ask them anything, they are coming here tonight to be available. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Brown. Do my colleagues have any questions for for Jeff this morning? Not yet. What? Jeff, I'm sorry. Just really quickly, I'm sorry if um I didn't write this detail down. H how far back on Mayor Place is the access point? Um if you could go to the aerial, if you see that white and gray box, that is the warehouse building. And so south of that building where it would be our access to mayor place. Got it. Because there are two properties that are not government owned in that peninsula. One is the warehouse building and one is the ground that's owned by CSX. Okay. Thank you. That is helpful. Mr. Brown. So what we're going to talk a lot about traffic tonight. I know. Um when you say mayor place not the preferred u route for for you all from the start as you mentioned there's been six different proposals that you all have mentioned just talk about you know from your perspective why mirror place originally didn't make sense for um for for for the applicant and you know I'm a park user we've been on that trail park in my building at at broaden front walk along the pathway go see that it's a wonderful park. Now, when they develop it, they put a street right through the park and have parking on either side. So, there's a little bit of a conflict. You know, my idea, and it's kind of dangerous when when the attorneys start doing planning, but I think the planners would agree. If you could take your traffic off of Whittier Street as quick as possible, that would be a benefit. If you could reduce the number of people that are going through the park, that would be a benefit. And so from day one, we tried to figure out a solution and presented many different options. We actually did two on-site visits because, you know, sometimes the paper doesn't show anything. We went out and we actually staked the route that we were looking at. And when we sat there with Tim and his staff and said, "Can this work? Can we move this?" Everything that we suggested to them, we were going to do at our expense. And if if the city says we need to make improvements, the mayor place, our my client is paying for that. If we we needed if if the parks would have cooperated, we would have had to move a a part of the dog park that got relocated there. Again, we said all that would be at our expense. So if you look at that, when you come off of Whittier, once you cross the bridge, the parks have a service entrance there where they have their service buildings. When we originally started, they had open space to the east and their service buildings to the west. By the time we got into this, the dog park moved from the north end to the south end. So now we had to deal with with the dog park. We figured out a way to do that. We needed an easement, I think, of like 6,500 and some square feet. That's all we needed to to to come in at a reasonable location, make it two-way traffic, but I mean, we couldn't work it out. I hope if if this goes forward, we will we are still here to continue the conversation and try to work out something better. But my client was left with the situation is what can I do on the public streets or where I have my own property that has access. And so what we have is is what we can do with our ground. And to underline that point, so if this were to move forward, your client would still be continuing to be open to working with Metrop Park. Absolutely. As as Miss Pines pointed out, the when you're in an architectural review district, it's a two-part process. If you have a zoning issue, they make a recommendation and then you have to come back and you need to get your site plan and your building approved, your lighting, your landscaping, your signage. So there's another whole process that we have to go through and and yes, we will if you want to hear it from I mean I can have Mr. Zimmer come up here and and say that he would be happy to continue the conversation. Thank you. Any other questions for council members at this point? Thank you, Mr. Brown. Thank you. Uh the first public speaker we have this evening is Mr. D Nicholas Darby. Mr. Darby. Mr. Darby, welcome to council. Uh, please state any relationship you have with the property and you have three minutes for public comment. Thank you for being here. Thank you. Um, in 2021, I received a job offer from Path Robotics. Um, it's in that white warehouse building that you can see in the picture. Um, I was very excited about this job offer. I said it would be great to live right there, be able to walk to work, have everything connected, be near all the amenities, be a thousand feet away from a Kroger, be next to the metro park, um have access to all of the high street amenities. Uh and I was I was very excited when I looked online. I saw that this development was proposed in uh 2015 or 2016 and was surprised that it wasn't there. Um it it would be an excellent place for people in Columbus to live. Uh, I would probably be there right now if uh if it had been approved and was building on the original timeline. There's groceries, there's high street, there's a park. Um, wouldn't have to drive anywhere. It'd be awesome. Uh, that's and Columbus doesn't have uh it's not shrinking. We need more housing, no less. That's all I have. Thank you, Mr. Darby. Do I my colleagues have any questions or comments for Mr. Darby? Thank you for being here tonight. Appreciate it. Uh the next public speaker we have this evening is uh Tim Maloney, the executive director of uh Columbus and Crown Metrop Parks. Mr. Maloney, the floor is yours. President, President Harden, members of council, uh my name is Tim Maloney. I'm the executive director of Clemson Franklin County Metrop Parks. I come before you tonight to speak about council variance CB1911 reszoning Z19082 a proposed residential development adjacent to Sciode Auto Metrop Park. I'd like to start council telling them in all the history we've ever been able to go through in our 78 years this is the first time Metro Parks is front of this council in opposition or in support of any zoning or variance. This is very unique for our organization. Back in 2005, this council with the National Ottabon Society and Metrop Parks entered into a contract to develop that Whittier Peninsula into what was not much more than an eyesore and today what is considered one of the top urban parks in all of North America. between our agencies and with full support of the Columbus region, Metro Parks took on the challenge of turning this once polluted site into a regional destination with more than 750,000 visitors every year. This would not have happened without our two agencies working together within the city's riverfront vision plan and the brewery district plan. The need for a second bridge was called out for. It was very specific how it was laid out, how to get people in and out of the peninsula. Never was the intention of any type of development or residential or mixed use to happen without this secondary means of egress. The park was developed, built, and grew over time. Knowing this condition, as proposed, this variance and reszoning would unreasonably increase the traffic on Whittier and Mayor to accommodate the approximate 1.5 million new vehicles on what was built as a park road. We also believe this variance and resoning would additionally impair the safety, health, and comfort to the existing visitors of this park. The developers proposed to Metro Parks their desire to use active parkland for the construction of their road and infrastructure. We're prevented from doing this through the Ohio Revised Code 1545 and cannot our commissioners cannot in good faith permit a private road to go through active parkland. We're also prevented from this by the recorded deed restrictions placed on us by the city of Columbus when this park was developed. I don't want to paint the picture that we're anti-development. In fact, we're not. One of the resolutions earlier tonight, we've actually worked with the city on making sure there's an easement going through that. We partner with developers. We partner with the city throughout Columbus. The reality of this proposed project is simple. Sciode Park, our park, our joint park, has far exceeded anyone's expectations of what this could become. By opening this door and permitting 1.5 million vehicles to biseect a vibrant urban park will not only change the character of that park, but the safety and security. It'll put our 750,000 visitors into a negative situation we will all be held accountable for. Thank you and for this opportunity to be heard. Thank you, director. [Applause] So, you and I have spent a lot of time together over the past six months. I and can I take just a moment? Councilman Dorren is exactly correct. He has been wonderful to work with us on the project and I will say the same about Jeff and his team that communication has been open the entire time. Thank you for that. Um is it fair to say again the concerns of the metrop parks fall directly down on that traffic? absent that issue um many of the other issues or concerns that you have with this development probably figure out some type of way to mitigate that impact. Is is that fair to say? Traffic would be the number one the density factor in the use of the facility and and you know we talked about uh Mr. Brown talked about the original plan. Back then, the park was going to be 60 or so acres, a lot more development, but as the park has grown, our infrastructure is built to accommodate that 750 number and a little bit more. It It's when you add that whole new residential component. I can tell you the dog park will be undersized overnight because if much like the speaker before, if I lived in there, it'd be really convenient to walk Phto out there. Um, yes. and it's a wonderful dog park and it's very nice not to be slopping around in the mud anymore. So, kudos to you all. Um, so I, you know, as I said earlier, we're going to talk a lot about traffic and I I know other council members have lots of questions around this and have this has been the focus of a lot of our discussions for for a while. So, you you cited that state law doesn't allow you to do this and uh I want to read Ohio Revised Code 1545.12. The board may also lease or permit the use of any land for purposes not inconsistent with the purpose for which the lands were acquired and upon the terms the board considers advisable. There's no prohibition within that proportional revised code and I will read off board resolution 6007 May of 2022 transfer of 413 acres of Franken County for highway purposes. No renumeration other consideration identified. Board resolution 5997 April 2022 authorization to negotiate easement for underground electrical lines serving a solar farm. Board resolution 5905 May 2021.134 easement grant Ohio Ohio Power Company for $3,000. Board resolution 5880 February of 2021 grant of lease to Pickway County Park District for 3.7 acres. Uh five board resolution 5882 January of 2021 1.26 sewer easement granted city Columbus board resolution 5842 March of 2020.35 acre grant of waiver for sewer easement to private development consideration uh board resolution 5843 March 2020 3.6 6 acre grant of sewer easement to Grove City. We've the biggest problem here is that there's the traffic and consistently our discussions have been around there's no way that the park's going to accommodate this. We've had repeated attempts by the applicant here to solve that problem. So ultimately the legislation that's in front of this body tonight seems like there's a solution and it seems like the park board in the past has acted on this. So when you look at the plain language of the state law, it doesn't line up with the message that I'm getting from metrop parks. It doesn't line up with the past actions of the metrop parks board. This is I want to make this project better. When you're talking about the 1.4 million cars coming through, you're hearing the applicants say they don't want that either. They've said repeatedly they would like to work with you all on it. And I'm just sitting here tonight with that information saying we've we've we've been working for six months on this. This is a great park. This is why haven't we been be able to get here on this? So, hearing the resolutions that our board passed, I'm pretty certain most of those are for public use. I heard you mention county engineer. I heard you mention another county. The point is talking about the state law allows the flexibility of the park to determine when they're going to grant that easement and when they're not. And the key line in there not inconsistent for which the lands were acquired, which we're talking here. So, how is a how was a highway easement for transportation purposes any different than this? And widening of and I don't know which road we're talking about, but widening a road in front of a park. I'll use high banks as an example because I know we granted an easement to the Ohio Department of Transportation on that to avoid traffic backups for people coming in and out of the park because when we the park went north of a million visitors, that's where that came from. So those issues that you're bringing up are for public good. We just granted a easement to the Ohio Department of Transportation for the 7071 project, hence the reason the dog park moved to the south. Our easements are granted for public good. We worked with Mr. ground early on uh about that road becoming a public road and that wasn't an option at the time. Okay. But you acknowledge in the past you have provided easements to other entities. Um absolutely. Okay. And you just understand from from our perspective looking at this when the metrop parks have said repeatedly your hands are tied here. There's nothing to do. And then when I hear an applicant say I want to make this better. I I want to avoid if the metrop parks are saying this is our chief concern and there's a way for us to make this better as a body. We're always looking for ways to find a solution. I' I've worked with you for six months to try and find a solution here. And when I look at that information, it becomes very difficult to see why we can't find a solution on this. I mean, well, with that, I will allow other council members ask questions. Council member Russo Deputier. Hi. We haven't had the opportunity to meet yet. So, um I have a question uh just in terms of precedent and you started by saying we've had a good partnership and think about the other metrop parks. Can you talk to us a little bit about um quarry quarry? That's a very difficult word when you're bilingual. My tongue does not move that way. quar quarry trails where there is I mean h to get into the park you're literally going through a residential area to get into that park. I'm just wondering how does that compare to metro parks because or I'm sorry to to the Ottabon because in my mind I'm thinking you know if we flip this right like if we had a housing development and we were like there's not enough green space let's build a park everyone would want to build a park right but when we flip it and there is a park and we're building residential it it always feels a little different so I'm just wondering since we have this president precedence already how do you square the difference between one and the other. I'm just interested in understanding. Cory Trails is a great example. So, Corey Trails was property not owned by that developer, not owned by Metro Parks, not owned by it was owned by a private individual. The developer and Metro Parks partnered in the acquisition of that land with a significantly large donation by the developer to Metro Parks of additional land for greenways trails along the river. The private developer is also responsible for building the signalized intersection at uh Trey Road as well as the entire intersection on Old Dublin Road. They're responsible for the construction of the three entrances to that park where this park has one entrance. So when Councilman Dorren was talking about volume of traffic, that's divided among three instead of among one. That takes me back to my earlier point about the original downtown riverfront plan and plan. The second means of egress is critical in our opinion to keeping people safe and moving through that park in a proper way. But it does feel like the spirit of some of those same changes in terms of traffic. I mean I understand what you're saying about the the the entrances into the park. But the ownership didn't exist prior to the quarry trails relationship developing where this partnership started between the city of Columbus national society and metro parks. And have you seen challenges getting into the park or challenges because of the residents area? Yes. No residents are living there yet. So we we haven't seen. So we haven't seen it yet. Have not seen it. What could happen? We're not sure. Yep. We could. Okay. Other council members, President Prom Brown. So um in comparing those, you were talking about how with this one, it feels like that second means of egress would be key. So, I'm I'm I don't mean to go back to Council Member Dorne's point, but it feels like there was a way to work with accomplishing the second to to actually get that second means of egress. So, I'm wondering why that if that's what was key to making it work, why you didn't want to pursue that second means of egress. And I'm going off memory here. One of the key considerations was Mayor Place was always in play. There was never a consideration to take uh residential traffic off of Whittier and Mayor to get into the site. The secondary access where they wanted to go through the dog park was always a it was an encouraged or a select entrance to the park, but all the traffic still has to come across the one bridge. Okay, that's all I have. Council member Remy. Well, this council is all about process and when we look at this process and I've looked at it over the last 6 months and then previously through through 2019, the process has been solid from the late 90s when they announced the bond package to actually that included purchasing this and making it a joint venture to when the park was announced. was always intended to be a multi-use uh park and that included residential according to the things that I read. So now we have somebody that's come along and they've proposed a really good project and and about 6,000 square ft is the difference between making this amendable so that we do not have to have traffic running on a public street through that park and you solely stand in the way of that. Your board hasn't heard on hasn't weighed in on it. I I spent 45 minutes with the board chair yesterday talking to the board chair about this. You've not asked them to vote on this. You're solely making this as an administrator. You're making this decision decision as an administrator and you're holding up good policy work. Our priorities are affordable housing and providing housing for the citizens of the the residents of the cit city of Columbus. The tax benefits alone are significant to to what we are trying to accomplish here in this city. And so 6,000 square feet. This applicant has agreed to they'll build you three times the size of the dog park in another place on that property. They've agreed to provide other property outside of the park in lie of the 6,000 square feet that you give up. So there's a two-lane road that goes along that easement. And so I ask you, how are you administratively standing in the way of this? Not even bringing this to your board. and holding this whole thing up and then getting on social media making it sound like this is city council and the developer pushing it down your throat. That is not the case. To answer the first part of your question, I work for the board of park commissioners. Our board of park commissioners is very aware of the district's position on this. They have not taken a vote. The board has given me general direction through every step of this process. So the conversations you had I I don't disagree with, but our board has been very clear in their direction they've given to me on this. At the end of the day, my job as the executive director of Metro Parks is to not only protect and conserve the open spaces, but to create these spaces for our visitors to come and enjoy the parks. That's my sole job working for this district. So clearly you put us in a position where we in order for this application to go through we have to make we are the ones that are going to decide whether this traffic goes down the middle of the park because you will not allow for a 6,000 foot easement. That's that's the position. It's your choice, not ours to do that because again our goals are affordable housing and providing more housing for our residents. And so you stand in the way of that two-lane road going on that easement. Just to be clear. Yeah. The last thing I want to be is argumentative in front of this council. The 6,000 square foot easement you're speaking of would run immediately adjacent to a dog park with hundreds of cars in it every day, dozens of dogs running. It's not a good shared use for a volume of traffic that's at 4,700 cars per day. And again, like I said, the applicant would build you a three times the dog park in another location in that park. Thank you, Council Member Re. I'm not quite sure there's a question there. Uh, Council Member Banks, I know you you have a question. I I I'm not sure who this question is appropriate for around the traffic piece. Um, so I don't know if that's staff or the developer, but that 1.5 million uh vehicle number that keeps getting thrown out, I just want to clarify that um for folks that that's trips, not actual physical 1.5 million cars that will be added. So, I just want to make sure that that's cleared up. I don't know who can we'll we'll get to that with staff, but we're we're going to allow uh any other additional questions with uh Executive Director Maloney and then we'll get to that. Council member Faver. Yes. Um thank you for being uh present here today. you you made a statement um in response to council member Dorne's uh reading of the resolutions that all of those decisions to your recollection were made um in um in honor of public good and I I think I'm struggling with why this would not be deemed a public good um as well um in your opinion it would be the easement that was requested is for a private road to access a private housing development The other easements we're talking about are public road rightway. I believe there's a solar project involved in one of the resolutions you read. These are serving the greater good of the community, not just the residents of that facility. Okay. All right. Thank you, President Prom. Um, thank you and again, I really appreciate you being here. I I think that also part of what you hear my colleagues also talking about is this notion that housing is infrastructure, right? And I understand that like roads and sewers are the classic definition of infrastructure, but we are in this position now in the city of Columbus where there, you know, prices go up when there are not enough when there's not enough product. And so we have to we have to think about all the different ways um that we promote housing uh in the city as council member Favor does all the time. And I think um the notion of housing as infrastructure has kind of taken too long to to um cement into our minds. And that is the um real principle that you're hearing echoed from my colleagues. Um and and that's why we are in search of solutions if you will. The one question I I wanted to ask about um the the I love the park. Love the park. Go there with my kids all the time. One of the best playgrounds, rock climbing. Uh my daughter probably likes a little too much. Um but I am the parcel in question is just a brownfield right now, right? So it's not it's not actually a it's not I just want to be clear that we're not subtracting any usable park area. It's behind fence. Right. Right. So it's it's not you mentioned something about sort of splitting a park in two and I don't think that's exactly what this parcel would be doing. It's not currently in use as a park. And I have a bad time remembering aerials all the time but I don't think it it splits the park in two. It's way over onto the one side development absolutely is on the far eastern edge. I probably my comments referred to the park road or mayor place that bisects the park. Okay. But you that's what you said the the road bisects the park. I just wanted to be clear that the parcel is not bicting the park. Thank you. I I think that's where I struggle because, you know, to just to go off of where council member um President Pro Tim Brown was at, you know, I see public good as solving a lot of different issues, right? Um we do have this housing crisis which is very much real right now, right? And is only going to be exasperated by big projects like Intel coming to central Ohio. But I'm also thinking about how difficult it is to remediate um environmental issues like this brownfield, right? There is no plan to to take care of this eyesore of a site. And so if we get beyond just this singular conversation that we're having right here uh with this one road, I think about the greater good, the public good of providing housing. We are um we are tasked right now with trying to find and and have enough housing for the residents that currently live in the city of Columbus and we know that they're falling short, right? And so I'm not saying that this is going to be the end all cure to what we need in the city of Columbus, but it is absolutely a solution which to me is um part of a public good that will be provided. And then to tack on the fact that we're not going to be providing an abatement here tonight seems like an opportunity to celebrate, right? And and we're also going to get some affordable housing out of this deal. So for me, this is checking all of the boxes around public good. So I I appreciate President Proim um really expanding upon that, but that's where I'm really struggling with. It wasn't just a singular conversation with just road um access. Um, and I understand that is incredibly important, but I am looking at the larger issue here where we've got people living in tents and that just cannot be in the city of Columbus, right? We have a big problem we have to solve here, but I appreciate you being present tonight. Thank you. Any other questions for Director Maloney? So, I I will finish with this and it will be the same question that I asked Mr. Brown. Uh, if in fact this moves forward, um, I I just want to ask the Metro Parks and feel free to answer or not answer at this point. Um but it has been my goal to for folks to continue to work together on this as we talked about the departments. Um this is not the end if in fact this passes. This is part of the process and I would just ask of you and the metrop parks if in fact this does go through to stay engaged because again I think there is a solution on this on the table that helps to alleviate the main concerns that have been articulated uh to me for months. So I I would just ask you that question again. Feel free to answer. I'll answer quicker than Mr. Brown. Absolutely. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you. Um the next public speaker we have here with us this evening is uh Leanne. Sorry about that. Lost you on my notes. Yeah. Floor is yours, ma'am. Good evening, President Harden and council members. I'm here on behalf of the birds. My name is Leanne Miller. I am the director of the Ottabon uh the Graange Insurance Ottabbon Center located within the Sciota Audabon Metro Park and one of its partners. I am employed by the National Ottabon Society. The park was indeed created by the city, the metrop parks and national. It is a place for all pe for people of all backgrounds to come to the park to enjoy nature. It is known as an urban oasis that is an excellent example of urban and ecology restoration. It went from a brownfield, an auto uh impound lot to something beautiful to wetlands to trails, native habitat, and a wonderful center that focus on environmental education. We do so with our Columbus City Schools. It is a wonderful balance of recreation and for and conservation for those who visit. The mission of Aottabon is to protect the birds and the places they live. and we were there to establish and protect and preserve the riparian corridor and the Mississippi flyway. More than 325 bird species make their way round trip each year through that flyway. Like you, when you're on a trip, you like to stop, get a drink, take a rest. Birds are no different. They need a place to refuel to move on all the way down to South America. Graange Insurance Ottabbon Center and the Sciota Ottabbon Park is an important bird area. It is a stopover both for spring and fall migration. We provide critical habitats for those migration periods. Structures have an adverse effect on migration. Picture, if you will, a river of flowing water. Migration is no different. Birds are flying in, birds are flying out. A structure becomes that dam. Hundreds of birds die daily because of a collision. I believe that we have a way to bring Ottabon in. I believe we have a way to set a precedent. We work together for the sustainability of Columbus. It's really important. We are part of Greenspot. We understand the goals and what you're trying to achieve and we hope to be that we are a good partner in that. We ask that we use this park and this opportunity to make sure that we have bird friendly windows. We look at lighting. We look at the habitat around these areas. Together, we should look like it's been there for years. Ottabon has been there. The building has been there for 13 years. We are reducing collisions. We are making an impact. And if we are all going to be in this area, we need to make sure that we are protecting the birds, the natural habitat, and for what's to come for our future. I ask you and the developer to bring us to the table and make sure that we're part of the process to make sure we're making a bird friendly habitat. Thank you very much for your time this evening. Thank you again, Miss Miller. Miss Miller, thank you for being here. And uh we will be calling the applicant back up here in a minute. and that will be one of the public commitments I will ask them to make. Um, council member Benson, you had a question for staff. Would you like to ask that now? Uh, thank you, Council Member Dors. My question was really just more to clarify that traffic count number uh that number that we keep hearing 1.5 million 400 I mean 4,700 per day or whatever that is. But just to clarify for the public and for folks what that number means and what that traffic count means. Yes. So that uh count would be the trips in and out of the development. So over the course of an entire year, it would be approximately 1.5 million trips in and out. Correct. Not physical vehicles, but trips. Correct. Got it. Thank you. Thank you. Uh any other questions for staff before I bring the applicant back? Uh Mr. Brown? Uh, Mr. R, I just have one question for you and I'll see if uh, other members have. So, uh, Miss Miller just asked for a very direct commitment from you to work with the Ottabbon Center on uh, design mechanisms to avoid uh, you know, additional impact on wildlife. Um, you're here, would like to hear a public commitment that you're willing to uh, include them at the table to make sure that that happens. working with the Bury uh district arch architectural review commission to make sure that those things are added. Uh and we've got experts in the community who who know uh about that um right there. So just asking for a public commitment that that'll happen tonight. Yes. Thank you. Any other questions? Council member Remy. Um I know in the text it limits uh to 200 feet, but I believe there's a commitment on the number of stories that these buildings will be. Yeah, I probably should have changed that when that was when we had the large tower which Tim objected to the height. He just thought that was out of character. But no, we've got sevenstory buildings, five of which will be residential, two of which will be structured parking. And the nice thing about the issue with the windows because of this process with the brewery district being an architectural review commission, we will have to go back to them with the design. And I was just talking to our architect MBBJ. They're dealing with this issue uh in a building in DC. So we are going to have internal staff that will know what's going on and be able to do best practices to address that issue. and we have a process with the architectural review to go through that and make those commitments. Thank you, Mr. Brown. Any other questions? Council President Harden. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Uh, Attorney Brown, could you restate your the affordable housing commitment? I think that that has weighed on a lot of us uh in terms of how we see this project and and how we view our role in terms of uh considering these different issues. As staff has pointed out, this property is not currently subject to a CRA. So what we did um we put it in the zoning text both in the zoning and the council variance that 10% of the units will be 80% AMI for a period of 10 years. That's the current proposal and um you know if something would happen and the city would look at doing something else and we you know we would reconsider and and look at increasing that percentage in terms of whatever the city's policy would be going forward in the future. But right now with no benefits, we're doing 10%. Does anybody know what 10 what 80% AMI is uh for community? Uh council president, for a family of four, it's $74,950. That's for a family of four. $50,000 per 74,000 for a family of four. Okay. And 10% of your units. So 75 units would be set aside for about 78 to the project when we're done. And and that's at that's and that is including with no abatement coming from this council. I cannot stress that enough. Correct. We are only getting affordable housing included in projects of this size in the city of Columbus through our current CRA policy. And this project is not um would not be a part of that incentive policy which would include an abatement. Correct. You are doing this at your own will and you're you're even stating tonight that um should the city of Columbus as we currently are updating our CRA policy at this point in time that your company is willing to um consider those revisions as we continue to grow in this city. He's the chair. Sorry. Council member Remy, quick question on that point. And are are you committing also to um follow the mix? So, in other words, you're not going to have 78 studio apartments at 80% AMI. You'll follow the mix if to match whatever it says 10%. I mean, we will we will follow whatever your requirements are in terms of the distribution and everything. Thank you, chair. Thank you. May I just close close my point? The so we talk about the park being open and accessible. When I think about 75 78 units at 80% AMI and I think about the neighborhood in which um this park serves and the community that it serves, I don't know uh in my mind where within a mile or two that you would find 75 other units of affordability like that close to a park this park or any park this this nice. And so I think that it is worth zeroing in on specifically what we're talking about here. Um, and I and I'll leave it at that. I No, I won't. I I will say that some of the the social media that I saw over the weekend painted this so off so far off base in terms of what this project actually was and who it actually serves. And a lot of the folks that I saw got riled up about this issue are the exact same folks who come down here and um argue and fight back and push back on this council around uh incentivizing developers to put in affordable housing. And we do that we have to do it because of the the lack of supply that we have in this community. And so I I am just saying in that general point, this is not a question that it was more than frustrating this week when I realized what all was at the table and also because the chair was not the only person that had several conversations with um Metro Parks. Uh and uh the opportunities to be a better partner in finding a solution uh laid themselves bare several times. uh and uh they were not uh they did not meet that that partnership uh threshold that we like to see in our city. So I just wanted to make that point. I it was not so much a question but um out of frustration. So thank you. Thank you President Hardy. Any other questions or comments for um Mr. Brown or staff at this point? See thank you Jeeoff. Um, just to conclude this discussion, you know, when I took over the zoning committee in January of this year, you know, I made a commitment to my colleagues here on council on the community that we would work in good faith with all parties on every single zoning application to find more common ground to make projects better. Uh, as I've said repeatedly, we've worked for over six months just at council u between the applicant and the metrop parks to find some type of solution to this. Uh, I love parks. I love this park in particular. This is where I normally launch my kayak out of. Um, prior to joining council, I served in the city of Columbus Reck and Parks Commission. Uh, anyone knows me personally, I spend as much as my time as possible out in the outdoors. Um, love taking my my little son hiking as much as I can, many times in Metro Park uh, facilities. Um, normally reszoning application that has unanimous support from city staff, from development commission, from the local neighborhood group will go on the agenda quickly and be passed unanimously by council. Uh there's a reason that we've waited 6 months to be here tonight. It's because we've been trying to find that common ground. Uh I know and intimately aware of the traffic concerns that we've talked about here tonight that are associated with the development. I really believe there is a pathway forward to address those concerns. And as I've asked all the applicants, all the parties here tonight to continue to sit down to find a solution to make this better. All that said, this project meets five out of the nine city council zoning priorities that we articulated around the environment, around housing, around public investment or private investment infrastructure. Uh this is a brownfield, a toxic property that is adding nothing in its current state. The Bury District plan going back 30 years calls for housing on this site. Um the proposal in front of us accomplishes that by adding dense housing near the job center of downtown. As we've talked about the 10% of units being set aside for those at 80% of the area income. Um the applicant has committed a million dollars for infrastructure for park improvements requested by the city or the parks. This isn't as council president tal talked about. This is not a choice between adding housing or preserving green space. We can do both. And the expectation for me and this council is that that happens. Um, so with that, um, at this point, I'd like to move to take this, uh, legislation from the table. Cler, please call the role. Bankston Barross Padilla Brown Dorance, favor.
