[00:00:05]
>> [NOISE] GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. WELCOME TO
[A. CALL TO ORDER AND ANNOUNCE A QUORUM PRESENT]
THE WESTLAKE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING FOR MARCH 11TH, 2025.I OFFICIALLY CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER.
WE HAVE SIX OUT OF SEVEN COMMISSIONERS PRESENT.
I WANT TO JUST OFFICIALLY THANK LINDA FOR HER SERVICE TO THE TOWN, WHO IS A FORMER COMMISSIONER AND WELCOME JENNIFER KONZ-ALT.
>> KONZ-ALT. JENNIFER, WELCOME TO CLUB MED [LAUGHTER].
IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE AMONGST FAMILIAR FACES.
I KNOW HER FROM THE BOARD AT VAQUERO, ALSO WHERE NIZAR COMES FROM.
SOMEONE WHO GETS DRAFTED THERE GETS DRAFTED HERE WHEN WE HAVE AN OPENING.
LET'S DO THE PLEDGES REAL QUICK.
FIRST OF ALL, ARE THERE ANY CITIZENS HERE THAT WISH TO SPEAK ON SOMETHING THAT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA THIS EVENING? I DON'T SEE ANYONE, SO WE'LL SKIP THROUGH THAT.
[D. APPROVAL OF MINUTES]
THE MINUTES WERE CIRCULATED.I'M NOT SURE IF EVERYBODY GOT A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THOSE.
IF I COULD GET A MOTION TO APPROVE OR IF THERE WERE ANY CHANGES.
>> ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. MINUTES ARE APPROVED.
DO WE HAVE A STAFF REPORT? WE WANT TO START THIS. NEW BUSINESS, 25-64.
[E.1. Discuss, consider and act to recommend approval to Town Council of Ordinance 1020 approving text amendments to PD, Planned Development District No. 3-5A generally located at the intersection of and along State Highway 114 and State Highway 170; providing a penalty; providing a savings clause; and establishing an effective date.]
DISCUSS, CONSIDER AND ACT TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF TOWN COUNCIL ORDINANCE 1020 APPROVING TEXT AMENDMENTS TO PD, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NUMBER 3-5A, GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION ALONG STATE HIGHWAY 114 AND STATE HIGHWAY 170; PROVIDING A PENALTY, PROVIDING A CUMULATIVE CLAUSE, PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE, AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.DO WE HAVE A STAFF? GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> SPRING HAS ARRIVED IN TEXAS.
>> YES. I THINK IT MAY HAVE BEEN THREE MONTHS SINCE WE LAST SAW YOU.
HAPPY TO SEE ALL OF YOU HERE THIS EVENING.
YES, THE ITEM BEFORE YOU IS A REQUEST FOR A TEXT AMENDMENT TO PD, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 3-5A.
JUST A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY ON THIS PD, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, IT WAS ADOPTED BY ORDINANCE NUMBER 769 ON FEBRUARY 22ND, 2016.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PD IS TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL USES CAN CO-EXIST IN PROXIMITY.
HERE IS AN AERIAL JUST GENERALLY SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THIS PD, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.
I THINK WE ALSO REFER TO IT COLLOQUIALLY AS THE FRONT 44 AND THAT'S BECAUSE IT CONTAINS 44 ACRES THERE AT THE JUNCTION OF STATE HIGHWAY 114 AND STATE HIGHWAY 170.
THE CHARLES SCHWAB CAMP IS WHAT WE CALL THAT PLAN RIGHT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.
HERE ARE JUST SOME IMAGES OF THE PROPERTY JUST TO GIVE A GOOD LOOK AND FEEL OR THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROPERTY PENDING THE TEXT AMENDMENTS THAT ARE IN FRONT OF YOU THIS EVENING.
AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THE HIGHWAY.
GOING THROUGH RATHER QUICKLY BUT THOROUGHLY ON THE PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENTS.
THE FIRST ONE DEALING WITH SECTION 1.1, THE INTENTION THERE IS TO ENSURE THAT NOT ONLY IS THE FIRST PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 16.4 ACRES TO INCLUDE THE FUTURE CHARLES SCHWAB BUILDING, WOULD BE DEVELOPED UNDER THE PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENTS TONIGHT, BUT ALSO THAT THE TEXT AMENDMENTS WOULD ALLOW FOR A MORE COHESIVE AND COHERENT DEVELOPMENT WITH THE BALANCE OF THE PROPERTY THAT IS TO THE WEST.
[00:05:02]
THAT IS ENSURING THAT A DEVELOPMENT PLAN COME BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION AND TO THE TOWN COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL.PART OF THAT IS BECAUSE THIS PROPERTY AS IT IS DEVELOPED, IT HAS SIGNIFICANT IMPLICATIONS ON THE ECONOMIC AND PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE OF WESTLAKE.
BECAUSE OF THAT, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING THAT IN TANDEM WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER, FUTURE BUILDERS, INVESTORS, AS WELL AS WITH YOU ALL AND THE TOWN COUNCIL.
MOVING ON TO SECTION 1.3, IT DOES MODIFY SOME OF THE EXISTING DEFINITIONS, BUT IT ALSO INTRODUCES TWO NEW ONES.
THE FIRST ONE BEING LOT COVERAGE, WHICH WAS A DEFINITION SIMILAR TO ONE THAT HAS COME BEFORE, THIS BODY IN ANOTHER PD, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AMENDMENT, AS WELL AS MURALS.
THE MURALS DEFINITION IS TO ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE THAT ISN'T COVERED IN THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, BUT ALLOWS FOR THE ABILITY TO CREATE A REALLY DISTINCT EXPERIENCE FOR PEDESTRIANS AND FOR OTHERS THAT WOULD BE THE FUTURE FOLKS COMING INTO THIS DEVELOPMENT.
AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THE IMAGE IN FRONT OF YOU, IT HIGHLIGHTS ALL OF THE ACREAGE AS A PART OF THE FRONT 44, BUT SHOWING THE FIRST PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS THE 16.4 ACRES AND THEN THE FUTURE PHASES.
AGAIN, IF THE TEXT AMENDMENTS ARE APPROVED, THAT THE FIRST PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT, WHICH YOU SEE TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN, THAT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE AMENDMENTS THIS EVENING.
STAYING WITH OUR ANALYSIS, SECTION 2.1, IT DOES AMEND THE LAND USE SCHEDULE, NOW ALLOWING FOR GROCERY STORES BY RIGHT.
THAT WAS A USE THAT WAS ORIGINALLY REQUIRING A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.
THE SAME WOULD GO FOR A RESTAURANT WITH ALCOHOL SALES AND THEN REQUIRING THAT A DATA CENTER HAVE A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD.
IN ARTICLE 3, THOSE STANDARDS ARE AMENDED DEALING WITH BUILDING SETBACKS, BUILDING HEIGHT, AND BUILDING FOOTPRINTS.
I WANT TO GO BACK A LITTLE ON THE BUILDING HEIGHT.
ESSENTIALLY, THERE WOULDN'T BE A LIMITATION ON THE BUILDING HEIGHT WITHIN 660 FEET OF HIGHWAY 170 AND HIGHWAY 114.
PART OF THAT IS TO ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPER TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO MARKET DYNAMICS AND GIVING FLEXIBILITY TO FUTURE USERS WITHOUT HAVING TO COME BACK THROUGH AND REQUEST FUTURE AMENDMENTS TO THE PD, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR THIS SITE.
ESSENTIALLY, IT IS FUTURE PROOFING DEVELOPMENT AS IT COMES FOR.
IN TERMS OF SECTION 4.4, IT IS NOW ALLOWING FOR SLOPED AND FLAT ROOFS.
PREVIOUSLY, ONLY SLOPED ROOFS WERE ALLOWED AS PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.
BY ALLOWING FLAT ROOFS, IT CAN ALLOW FOR MORE CREATIVITY WITH HOW THE BUILDINGS ARE DESIGNED ARCHITECTURALLY, AS WELL AS ENSURING THAT IF THERE ARE RESIDENTIAL USES THAT COME IN ON FUTURE SITE PLANS, THAT IF THEY ARE DETACHED, THAT THEY WOULD HAVE SLOPED ROOFS, WHICH IS THE SIMILAR DESIGN ELEMENTS THAT WE SEE FOR SO MANY OF THE SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES IN WESTLAKE, BUT IF THEY'RE ATTACHED, THEY COULD BE SLOPED OR THEY COULD BE FLAT.
STAYING IN ARTICLE 4 IS SECTION 4.5.
THE PROPOSED LANGUAGE THERE WOULD REQUIRE THAT THE PRINCIPAL ENTRANCES TO THESE UNITS AS WELL AS TO THE INDIVIDUAL SHOP FRONTS, THAT THOSE BE DETAILED IN A WAY THAT IT STANDS OUT AND ALLOWS FOR MORE VARIETY ARCHITECTURALLY, WHILE ALSO BEING IN LINE WITH CONTEMPORARY URBAN PLANNING AND URBAN DESIGN PRINCIPLES.
THE SAME GOES FOR 4.6, 4.7, 4.8 AND 4.14, DEALING AGAIN WITH ARCHITECTURAL REQUIREMENTS TO SUPPORT PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY AND WALKABILITY, WHILE ALSO ALLOWING FOR MURALS.
THAT'S BECAUSE, AGAIN, THERE ISN'T ANY LANGUAGE WITHIN THE SIGN REGULATIONS FOR THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE THAT ADDRESS MURALS.
ALL OF THIS IS LEADING TO THE FOLLOWING IMAGES IN TERMS OF ARCHITECTURAL INTENT, SCALE AND DESIRABILITY OF THE PROJECT.
YOU CAN SEE HERE SOME OPTIONS THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE UNDER THESE PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENTS IF APPROVED AND THE SAME THERE.
IT'S STILL STICKING WITH THIS AGRARIAN AND MORE OF THE FARMHOUSE ARCHITECTURAL STYLE, AND THAT'S LENDING FROM CIRCLE T RANCH IN THE STORIED HISTORY.
IN SUM, THESE TEXT AMENDMENTS, THEY DO SUPPORT LAND USES AND DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS THAT ARE MOST
[00:10:02]
APPROPRIATE FOR STATE HIGHWAY 114 AND STATE HIGHWAY 170.MORE IMPORTANTLY, THEY ARE ALSO CONSISTENT WITH THE RECENTLY ADOPTED STRATEGIC PLAN THAT TALKS ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND URBAN PLANNING EFFORTS THAT SUPPORT THE LONG TERM VISION AND GOALS OF THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE.
THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE TEXT AMENDMENTS AS PRESENTED.
MR. CHAIR, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, I WILL PAUSE THERE.
I DO BELIEVE THE APPLICANT IS ALSO IN THE AUDIENCE AND WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
>> ANY QUESTIONS? I'M EXCITED.
CAN I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE AS WRITTEN?
>> ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ALL OPPOSED? NONE OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES.
>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. THANK YOU, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSIONERS.
>> I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME NEW PLACES TO EAT, NEW PLACES TO SHOP.
GO CHECK ON MY CHARLES SCHWAB INVESTMENTS.
[E.2. Receive an overview of and hold discussion on the future role of the Planning and Zoning Commission serving in the capacity as the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee (“CIAC”).]
RECEIVE AN OVERVIEW OF AND HOLD DISCUSSION ON THE FUTURE ROLE OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION SERVING IN THE CAPACITY AS THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE, THE CIAC.EDMUND HAAS, FREESE AND NICHOLS.
WE HAVE BEEN RETAINED BY YOU ALL TO DEVELOP IMPACT FEE PROGRAM.
IMPACT FEE IS A FINANCE TOOL FOR SHARING THE COST AND FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE GROWTH THROUGH NEW DEVELOPMENT.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT HERE IN A SECOND.
ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS AND THERE ARE SOME VERY STRICT REQUIREMENTS ON TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT OF A PROGRAM, THE ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS, AND THEN IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO THE POLICY DECISION ON ELECTION RATES.
BUT AS PART OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS, THE APPOINTMENT OF A CIAC HELP GUIDE THE STUDY.
THAT'S WHAT YOUR TOWN COUNCIL HAS EMPOWERED YOU WITH, IS TO SERVE IN THIS CAPACITY AS THE CIAC.
BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PLANNING HAS GONE ON IN THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE TO IDENTIFY YOUR LONG-TERM GROWTH, STRATEGIES FOR HOW YOU ALL WILL CONTINUE TO GROW IN THE FUTURE LAND USE WISE.
SUPPORTING THAT IS YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE.
THERE'S AN IMAGE OF YOUR FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.
THERE'S AN IMAGE OF YOUR TRANSPORTATION PLAN, YOUR THOROUGHFARE PLAN, SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFYING THE LOCATION OF NEW ROADS BY FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION.
THERE'S ALSO AN IMAGE OF A WATER MODEL THAT'S BEING DEVELOPED TO SUPPORT WATER AND WASTEWATER NEEDS.
THAT'S UNDERGOING AS PART OF THE OVERALL TASK FOR THE IMPACT FEE PROGRAM.
WITH LONG-TERM GROWTH AND NEEDS, THERE'S A COST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE IMPACT FEE HELPS TO PROGRAMMATICALLY DEFINE A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH OF WHO PAYS FOR THAT COST.
SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF HARD COST IS GOING TO BE INCURRED, AND SO THE PROGRAM SETS FORTH A COLLECTION OR AN ASSESSMENT AND A COLLECTION RATE IN WHICH NEW DEVELOPMENT WILL SHARE IN THAT COST DEPENDING UPON THE INTENSITY AND IMPACT ON THE SYSTEM.
IT GOES TO THE $100,000 QUESTION, WHO PAYS FOR GROWTH? WITHOUT THIS FUNDING TOOL, IT'S YOUR TAX PAYERS.
WITH THIS FUNDING TOOL, NEW DEVELOPMENT SHARES IN THAT COST.
I SAY SHARE BECAUSE AT THE END OF YOUR ROLE, AS A CIAC MEMBER, YOU WILL MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL ON, ONE, IS AN IMPACT FEE APPROPRIATE IN WESTLAKE? TWO, YOUR COMMENTS ON LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS.
IN OTHER WORDS, HOW WE GROW OVER A 10-YEAR WINDOW, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLANS, RESULTANT COST PER SERVICE UNIT.
THEN IF YOU FEEL IT'S WITHIN YOUR PURVIEW, A POTENTIAL COLLECTION RATE THAT THE COUNCIL WILL TAKE UNDER ADVISEMENT AS PART OF A FORMAL PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS, IMPOSITION OF THE FEE.
WHO PAYS FOR GROWTH WITH AND WITHOUT THE SUCH PROGRAM? ALL OF THIS STUFF IS CODIFIED IN CHAPTER 395, THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODES.
IT'S BEEN IN PLACE SINCE 1988.
IRONICALLY, BY THE HOMEBUILDERS ASSOCIATION.
IMPACT FEE LEGISLATION, EELS ARE BEING MADE, HORSE TRADING GOING ON.
DEVELOPER A NEXT DOOR ROADWAY MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED RIGHT OF WAY, DEVELOPER B RIGHT NEXT DOOR MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED A RIGHT OF WAY PLUS ROAD CONTRIBUTIONS INEQUITIES.
THERE WAS THE DESIRE FOR A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO ALLOCATING COST TO NEW DEVELOPMENT, OR EXACTING COST FROM NEW DEVELOPMENT.
[00:15:03]
IT'S ALL CODIFIED IN 395 IN STATE LAW.THERE IS CURRENTLY SOME LEGISLATION PROPOSED AS PART OF THE SESSION, MONITORING THAT.
WE THINK THAT WILL BE CONCLUDED BY THE TIME AND IF THAT COMES INTO PLAY, BUT THERE ARE SOME ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING IN THERE, SO WE'RE WATCHING THAT.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT THE IMPACT FEE PROGRAM IS THAT IT'S SYSTEMATIC.
ALL NEW DEVELOPMENT WILL SHARE IN THIS COST.
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT COMING TO TOWN, MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, YOUR FIRST CASE THAT YOU SAW TONIGHT COMING TO TOWN.
THE NEW DEVELOPMENT, IF THEY'RE CONTRIBUTING ROADS, RIGHT OF WAY, WATER, WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE, THEY SHOULD GET A CREDIT FOR WHAT THEY PUT IN BY LAW.
ALL THIS FINANCE TOOL DOES IS ALLOCATE COST TRANSPARENCY WISE.
THIS IS WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST TO PUT IT IN THE GROUND.
NEW DEVELOPMENT, WHAT'S YOUR FAIR SHARE COST OF THAT? IT ALSO CONTRIBUTES TOWARDS ASSESSING PROPORTIONALITY.
NEW LAW THAT CAME INTO PLAY IN THE EARLY 2010, AROUND THERE, WHERE IF NEW DEVELOPMENT FEELS THAT THEY'RE NOT FAIRLY BEING TREATED WITH REGARDS TO EXACTIONS, THEY CAN ASK THE TOWN TO PROVE THAT PROPORTIONALLY.
BUT WHAT CAN IMPACT FEES PAY FOR? CONSTRUCTION, ENGINEERING, RIGHT OF WAY, ALL THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH PUTTING PERTINENCES ON THE GROUND.
WHAT THIS PROGRAM THAT FREESE AND NICHOLS HAS BEEN ASKED TO DO IS FOR SPECIFICALLY ROADS, WATER AND WASTEWATER. THOSE THREE COMPONENTS.
HERE'S A MAP THAT SHOWS SOME OF THE PROGRAMS ACROSS THE STATE.
IT USED TO BE THAT IMPACT FEES WERE CALLED IN NORTH TEXAS IN THE EARLY DAYS.
THEN CENTRAL TEXAS IN THE EARLY 2000 STARTED GETTING A LOT OF COMMUNITIES THERE.
CITIES IN THE EAST, SOUTHEAST, AND WEST AND FAR SOUTH, NO WAY.
BUT NOW WITH ALL THE CHANGES IN LEGISLATION OF CAPPING TAXES AND ANNEXATION, CITIES ARE LOOKING TO THIS TOOL AS AN ADDITIONAL FUNDING MECHANISM.
COMMUNITIES LIKE MIDLAND-ODESSA, LUBBOCK, DOWN IN HOUSTON, LEAGUE CITY, BELLEVUE, WHERE YOU WOULD NEVER HEAR THE I WORD IN THE PAST, NOW THOSE ARE PROGRAMS IN PLACE.
WE'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH DEVELOPING PROGRAMS AND UPDATING THESE MANDATED PROGRAMS, I'VE BEEN INVOLVED SINCE THE MID '90S.
IF YOU IMPLEMENT THIS PROGRAM BY LAW, YOU'VE GOT TO COME BACK AND REVIEW IT AT LEAST EVERY FIVE YEARS.
WE HAVE A LOT OF PLANNING COST ASSOCIATED WITH PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS.
AS THOSE ARE BEING BUILT, YOU GOT TO PLUG IN THE ACTUAL COST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE NUMBERS ARE OILED.
I'VE HIGHLIGHTED SOME OF THE PROCESS ELEMENTS HERE.
YOU'LL BE PROVIDING COMMENT ON LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS, THE 10-YEAR FORECAST OF HOW WE'RE GOING TO GROW.
THAT'S GOING TO BE A PRELUDE TO IDENTIFYING WHAT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS NEED TO BE PUT IN PLACE OVER THE 10-YEAR WINDOW, OR AT LEAST THOSE THAT ARE IDENTIFIED AS PART OF THE PROGRAM FOR THE 10-YEAR WINDOW, CONDUCTING THE COST PER SERVICE UNIT CALCULATIONS, AND THEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE PUBLIC HEARINGS PROCESS.
THERE'LL BE TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS.
YOUR COMMENTS FOR THE LUA AND CIP, THAT'S THE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS AND THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS, WILL GO TOWARD THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING ON THAT.
COUNCIL WILL CONSIDER THAT AND IF APPROVED, THEN WILL MOVE TO THE SECOND PART.
THAT'S WHERE WE GET ALL THE COSTING DONE, THE COST PER SERVICE UNIT CALCULATIONS.
WHAT WOULD AN IMPACT FEE LOOK LIKE IN THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE FOR SPECIFIC KINDS OF LAND USES? THEN YOU WOULD MAKE YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS ON NUMBER 2.
THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING IS THE CONSIDERATION FOR THE IMPOSITION OF IMPACT FEES IN WESTLAKE, AS WELL AS THE SUPPORTING ORDINANCE ON COLLECTION RATES.
YOUR ROLE, AGAIN, COMMENTING ON THE LUA, THE CIP, THE CALCULATIONS AND THEN YOUR WRITTEN RECOMMENDATION.
THAT WILL BE DUE AT LEAST FIVE BUSINESS DAYS IN ADVANCE OF THAT PUBLIC HEARING.
WE HAVE A DETAILED SCHEDULE WITH STAFF.
WE'LL PROBABLY BE ASKING FOR THAT EARLIER, SOONER THAN LATER SO IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE.
THE DATES THAT WE HAVE PROGRAMMED, APRIL 15TH, NEXT MONTH, THERE'LL BE A 101.
SOME OF THE SAME STUFF THAT I'M TALKING TO YOU ABOUT WILL BE COVERED, BUT A LITTLE MORE IN DEPTH, TALKING ABOUT SERVICE AREAS, SERVICE UNITS, WHAT'S CONSIDERED IN THE COST CALCULATION, HOW YOU CALCULATE IT, HOW YOU ALLOCATE COST.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT ALL THOSE THINGS IN THAT 101, BUT WE'LL ALSO BE ASKING FOR SOME COMMENTS ON GROWTH RATE.
HOW DO WE SEE WESTLAKE GROWING OVER THE 10-YEAR WINDOW? THAT COMPOUND ANNUAL GROWTH RATE HELPS US DEFINE WHAT THE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS WILL LOOK LIKE, THEN SUPPORTING CIP.
WE'LL COME BACK IN JUNE TO TALK ABOUT THAT, LUA AND THE CIPS.
[00:20:01]
THEN ONCE WE GET THROUGH THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING, WE'LL COME BACK AT THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER AND TALK ABOUT THE IMPACT FEE CALCULATIONS.WE'LL DO WHAT'S CALLED BENCHMARKING.
OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE SUCH PROGRAMS, WHAT ARE THEY CURRENTLY COLLECTING? IF YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT YOUR NEIGHBORS ARE DOING BY WAY OF THE IMPACT FEES, YOU CAN SEE WHAT'S THE ACTUAL IMPACT FEE IN SOUTHLAKE OR TYLER.
WE'LL HAVE THOSE BENCHMARKING.
THEN BY OCTOBER 7TH, YOUR WRITTEN RECOMMENDATION IS DUE TO THE TOWN COUNCIL.
THIS IS THE LAYOUT OF ALL THE ELEMENTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE GOING INTO IT.
AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, WATER, WASTEWATER TEAMS, THEY'RE DEVELOPING A HYDRAULIC MODEL TO MAKE ALL THEIR CIP RECOMMENDATIONS.
I'M LEADING THE ROADWAY COMPONENT.
WE'RE USING YOUR THOROUGHFARE PLAN FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECTS AND HOW ALL THAT'S GOING TO BE FLOWING INTO THE PROCESS.
WITH THAT, THAT'S A HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF WHAT YOU'VE BEEN ALL TOLD, BUT YOU'VE BEEN EMPOWERED BY COUNCIL FOR THIS DUTY.
WE HAVE MET THE ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS.
I BELIEVE MR. WILKINSON, YOU'RE FROM THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY OR BUILDING COMMUNITY.
>> DEVELOPER. THAT'S ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE, THAT AT LEAST ONE MEMBER IS FROM REAL ESTATE, BUILDING, OR DEVELOPMENT ON THE CIAC.
WHEN YOU ALL WERE APPOINTED, YOU AS THE P&Z, BUT APPOINTED AS A CIAC, THAT'S A MET REQUIREMENT.
IN THE ALTERNATIVE, THERE'S A 40% REQUIREMENT.
ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE IMPACT FEE PROGRAM OR WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DELVING INTO OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS?
WITH YOUR GUIDANCE, WE WILL NAVIGATE THIS.
>> THERE'LL BE A LOT OF TECHNICAL, THERE'LL BE SOME MATH.
IF YOU LIKE THE MATH, WE CAN TALK ALL DAY ON THAT.
IF YOU'D RATHER JUST HEAR THE BOTTOM LINE, WE'LL WAKE YOU UP WHEN IT'S TIME.
NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING.
>> MR. CHAIR, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSIONERS, IT'S THE DESIRE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT AND THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE TOWN COUNCIL THAT YOU ALL DO SERVE AS THIS COMMITTEE ON MARCH 24TH AT THE TOWN COUNCIL MEETING.
>> DO WE NEED TO BE PRESENT AT THAT MEETING?
>> JUST CHECKING. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THAT MATTER? CONGRATULATIONS. OUR DUTIES AND SCOPE AND HOURS TO THE COMMUNITY HAVE JUST BEEN EXPANDED.
THERE'S AN ITEM ON HERE, F, SUMMARY OF TOWN COUNCIL ACTIONS. ANYTHING ELSE HERE?
>> ANY OTHER COMMISSION ANNOUNCEMENTS, STAFF ANNOUNCEMENTS? OUR NEXT MEETING IS?
[I. REVIEW MEETING CALENDAR TO ADD, AMEND OR CANCEL MEETINGS AS NEEDED]
>> NEXT MEETING WILL BE THE FIRST TUESDAY IN APRIL.
>> WE HAVE A CALENDAR. IT'S OUT THERE.
>> I KNOW WE DON'T NEED AN EXECUTIVE SESSION TONIGHT.
IS THAT CORRECT? NOTHING ELSE PENDING.
THEN I'LL GO AHEAD AND ADJOURN THE MEETING AT 5:24. THANK YOU.
