4 THE CHAIRMAN: I'll go ahead and call the
5 Tuesday, April 15 meeting of the LUZ Committee
6 to order. It is about five minutes after 5:00.
7 I'm Councilman Clay Yarborough. We also
8 have Councilman Richard Clark, Councilman
9 Jack Webb, and joining us tonight as an acting
10 committee member is Councilman Bill Bishop.
11 Mr. Bishop, thank you for being here with
12 us tonight.
13 Committee members, we are going to take one
14 item out of order. If we can turn to page 13,
15 item number 43. I told Mr. Mann that we would
16 take this one up first for him. He needs to get
17 away a little bit quickly for a personal matter.
18 So if we could go ahead and take up
19 item 43. We'll go ahead and open that public
20 hearing.
21 (Mr. Mann approaches the podium.)
22 THE CHAIRMAN: Mr. Mann, I think you're our
23 only speaker on this one.
24 MR. MANN: Thank you very much.
25 I do have a viewing tonight for a funeral
Diane M.
Tropia,

1 that's tomorrow to attend, and I do appreciate
2 you indulging me on this.
3 This site is located on
4 part of an approximately 160-acre project that
5 was zoned for 600 units, some additional
6 warehousing space, some commercial, et cetera.
7 At the time the property was zoned, it was
8 zoned solely for townhouses. And at that time
9 in the industrial light warehouse zoning
10 category there was a single-family residential
11 element.
12 We came and back converted the 60 -- or the
13 600 units from townhouses to townhouses or
14 apartments, but the residential element had been
15 taken out of the IL zoning.
16 This is solely to clean it up. The other
17 zoning has all been passed. This is a large
18 scale land use change. There will be a PUD
19 filed in conj- -- condition it when it comes
20 back from DCA in
21 I know of no opposition I have in the

1 we'll jump down to 2008-240. And we have had a
2 request from Ms. Lee -- we'll open the public
3 hearing and -- are there any speakers?
4 MS. ALLEN: No.
5 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. No speakers, so we
6 will continue this to May 6th at Ms. Lee's
7 request.
8 MS. ELLER: Mr. Chairman.
9 THE CHAIRMAN: Ms. Eller. I'm sorry.
10 I hope I'm in the right posture.
11 MS. ELLER: Thank you.
12 I'm sorry to interrupt the committee's
13 work.
14 THE CHAIRMAN: That's okay.
15 MS. ELLER: I just wanted to share with you
16 a procedural issue since it may be a bit
17 confusing.
18 2008-240 is a semiannual land use map
19 amendment and it's a part of this series of land
20 use map amendments and text amendments, and
21 typically what we tell you is that if you defer
22 it in committee, you then deferred it for six
23 months because it's out of sequence and not
24 traveling with the package.
25 The reason why this one would potentially
Diane M.
Tropia,
26
1 not fall under that scenario is this: The
2 entire package that's moving out of committee
3 tonight, at the full council on Tuesday, there
4 is a request to the council president to
5 postpone the package one cycle at the full
6 council in order for another bill, which is only
7 on second reading here tonight, at the end of
8 your agenda, to catch up. And that other bill
9 has to do with amendments to the Capital
10 Improvements Element in order to make this
11 package comply with what DCA wants, and we
12 didn't get word from DCA that we needed to do
13 that until about a week and a half ago.
14 And that would avoid having the amendments
15 go to the Division of Administrative Hearings
16 for a DOAH proceeding, similar to the 17 land
17 use map amendments that were challenged two
18 cycles ago, if you recall.
19 So, with that, if the council does choose
20 to postpone the package and let this Capital
21 Improvement Element bill catch up, which would
22 then avoid the City having to go through the
23 litigation and settlement at DOAH, the whole
24 package would be postponed one cycle at council
25 and then this bill and another semiannual that
Diane M.
Tropia,
27
1 has been asked to be opened and continued at LUZ
2 could be voted out of committee next time and
3 they would catch up to the rest of the package,
4 and then they would all go out together.
5 So I just wanted it to be clear that by
6 deferring the semiannual tonight, it's not
7 falling into the general scenario of being
8 bumped for six months.
9 THE CHAIRMAN: It won't jeopardize it? It
10 will still be able to move with the package --
11 MS. ELLER: Correct.
12 THE CHAIRMAN: -- basically?
13 MS. ELLER: Yeah.
14 If it does not get voted out next cycle,
15 that's when it would be subject to being bumped
16 to the next cycle.
17 And then, of course, if the council chooses
18 not to postpone all the bills on Tuesday
19 night -- if for any reason they say, let's just
20 move the package forward and we'll let the
21 challenges fall -- which I don't anticipate
22 happening.
23 I just wanted to lay that out, that that's
24 how --
25 THE CHAIRMAN: I appreciate that,
Diane M.
Tropia,
28
1 Ms. Eller.
2 And, if I could, would you make sure that
3 Councilwoman Lee's office is aware of that just
4 so that we know next time that there needs to be
5 action --
6 MS. ELLER: Sure.
7 THE CHAIRMAN: -- or it will be delayed.
8 MS. ELLER: Or it will be six months.
9 I'll be happy to do that.
10 THE CHAIRMAN: Great.
11 MS. ELLER: I just wanted to share that
12 because I know that we typically stand up and
13 yell and scream whenever anybody wants to defer
14 something outside of the package --
15 THE CHAIRMAN: Right. And I think it was
16 moveable tonight, but, at her request, since she
17 couldn't make it this evening, we decided to
18 wait until next time, so --
19 MS. ELLER: That's my understanding as
20 well.
21 THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you for the
22 explanation.
23 MS. ELLER: All right. Thank you.
24 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. No speakers on -240,
25 so we'll continue that until May 6th.
Diane M.
Tropia,
29
1 Thank you.
2 And I think the -- item 45, 2008-241, at
3 the top of page 14, is the companion rezoning,
4 so we'll open that public hearing.
5 No speakers, so we'll continue that also
6 until May 6th.
7 Thank you, Ms. Eller.
8 Item 46, 2008-242. We'll open that public
9 hearing, and we have speakers on -242 and -243.
10 Okay. The first is Tom Ingram.
11 Actually, what I'll do is just go ahead and
12 open -242 and -243 because it deals with the
13 same issue, and then we'll call folks up
14 accordingly.
15 (Mr. Ingram approaches the podium.)
16 THE CHAIRMAN: Mr. Ingram, good evening.
17 MR. INGRAM: Good evening.
18 Tom Ingram,
19 400.
20 We are asking that this be continued until
21 the next cycle of LUZ and agree with the
22 neighborhood that we'd -- we'd all like to
23 postpone our comments till the next hearing.
24 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. I'll mention -- I'll
25 call the names out and if anybody would like to
Diane M.
Tropia,
30
1 speak, you're welcome to. If not, we can just
2 wait until the next meeting. That will be fine.
3 Maryann Vaccaro.
4 (Audience member approaches the podium.)
5 THE CHAIRMAN: I hope I said your name
6 right. I'm sorry.
7 AUDIENCE MEMBER: You did good.
8
9
10 And we also, after discussion with the
11 developer and his attorney, we'd like to, in the
12 interest of time -- both sides, we've agreed to
13 commit to hold our comments from this meeting
14 and -- until the meeting on the 6th, if we
15 could, please.
16 Thank you.
17 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. Thank you.
18 Is that --
19 last name. Is that --
20 AUDIENCE MEMBER: Landau.
21 I agree.
22 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. Thank you.
23 Scott Crosby.
24 AUDIENCE MEMBER: I agree.

5 AUDIENCE MEMBER: I agree.
6 THE CHAIRMAN: In agreement. Okay. Thank
7 you. Appreciate that.
8 And we appreciate you being here this
9 evening. Thank you.
10 And, with that, the public hearing on both
11 of those bills is continued till May 6th.
12 Okay. Item 48, 2008-244, at the bottom of

8 MS. JOHNSTON: That's entirely okay with
9 me.
10 THE CHAIRMAN: But it did pass, so --
11 MS. JOHNSTON: I apologize. I thought I

22 Ms. Johnston.
23 MS. JOHNSTON: Paige Johnston, 1301
24 Riverplace Boulevard, on behalf of the
25 applicant.
Diane M.
Tropia,
36
1 This is a request for a land use amendment
2 for approximately 847 acres located at the
3 northeast quadrant of
4 The current land uses on the property
5 include light industrial, commercial, low
6 density residential, and agricultural land use
7 categories. Our request is to take the property
8 to one multiuse category so that it can be
9 designated as a regional activity center.
10 And the -- if you look at the northwest --
11 or, I'm sorry, not the northwest -- the
12 North Master Vision Plan, the site is actually
13 located within an area designated for a regional
14 power center, which is consistent with the types
15 of uses that we are proposing here.
16 Since it is a very large piece of property,
17 there's a lot of master planning that's going
18 on, and we started working with the City and
19 with the councilmember in the fall to make sure
20 that we get all of our ducks in a row, so to
21 speak. Especially with the magnitude of this
22 project, we've also been meeting with DOT.
23 In the fall we had a community meeting that
24 was attended by residents of the area, and we
25 met with the CPAC in the fall and in the
Diane M.
Tropia,
37
1 spring. Last week the CPAC voted unanimously to
2 approve -- recommendation of the land use and
3 the zoning application.
4 The zoning application is not going to be
5 considered before the committee tonight. There
6 will be a public hearing and it will be opened
7 and continued, but I'm happy to answer any
8 questions.
9 On Friday, we got a call from one of our
10 neighbors to the north, Earl Allen, and he had
11 indicated -- he's actually one of the caretakers
12 of the property currently since some of the
13 owners of the property are out of town.
14 Benderson Development (phonetic) is the
15 proposed developer of the project. We have Earl
16 kind of keeping an eye on things on the property
17 to make sure there's not any trespassing or
18 anything like that, and Earl had indicated that
19 there was some neighbors who had some questions
20 about the project, and so we got with Earl and
21 also with Ray Holt and let him know what was
22 going on, and we went ahead and we're scheduling
23 a meeting for those neighbors for tomorrow
24 night -- I just wanted to say this in case
25 anyone in the audience had questions -- at
Diane M.
Tropia,
38
1 Earl's house, which -- if people can get with me
2 afterwards, I can give them the address to Earl
3 Allen's property, but he lives off of
4 Street.
5 And so we were going to answer some
6 questions about the PUD and hopefully be able to
7 answer everyone's questions, but we have been
8 working with the City, with DOT on a master
9 transportation plan, and then also with the
10 councilmember, and we've been meeting with the
11 CPAC as well.
12 So we're looking forward to this endeavor,
13 and I'm happy to answer any questions.
14 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. Thank you,
15 Ms. Johnston.
16 Any questions?
17 COMMITTEE MEMBERS: (No response.)
18 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. Seeing none, we'll
19 close the public hearing on -246.
20 MR. WEBB: Move the bill.
21 MR. CLARK: Second.
22 THE CHAIRMAN: There's a motion and a
23 second on -246.
24 Any discussion?
25 COMMITTEE MEMBERS: (No response.)
Diane M.
Tropia,

1 THE CHAIRMAN: Seeing none, open the
2 ballot.

4 MR. YARBOROUGH: (Votes yea.)
5 MR. BISHOP: (Votes yea.)
6 MR. CLARK: (Votes yea.)
7 MR. WEBB: (Votes yea.)
8 (Committee ballot closed.)
9 MS. LAHMEUR: Four yeas, zero nays.
10 THE CHAIRMAN: By your action, you have
11 approved -246.
12 2008-247. We'll open that public hearing.
13 And, Ms. Johnston, you're first on this
14 one.
15 MS. JOHNSTON: Okay. Paige Johnston, 1301
17 Basically, since the PUD is not going to be
18 considered today, I'll just stand by for
19 questions.
20 And if there is anybody in the audience who
21 has any questions, I can answer those or I can
22 step aside with them and answer questions if the
23 committee would prefer that.
24 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. I only have one other
25 speaker, Lonnie Weeks.
Diane M.
Tropia,
40
1 I apologize if I've messed your name up,
2 sir.
3 (Audience member approaches the podium.)
4 AUDIENCE MEMBER: That's okay.
5 THE CHAIRMAN: State your name and address
6 for the record.
7 AUDIENCE MEMBER: Lonnie Weeks, 67 Reeding
9 THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you.
10 Go ahead.
11 MR. WEEKS: Just a couple of concerns on
12 this. There's been a lot of talk about, you
13 know, going up
14 stuff and -- and deciding on what to do with the
15 zoning of that piece of property and going up
16 through residential with trucks.
17 And, you know, this property -- Alta
18 connects into Yellow Bluff, and what's the
19 purpose of the flyover going over 17 into the
20
back of this property of
21 And 90 percent of this property is going to
22 be -- they're asking to rezone it to light
23 industrial, which is basically going to be
24 warehousing and -- and stuff like that. You're
25 talking about more trucks, and -- so that's one
Diane M.
Tropia,
41
1 concern.
2 I mean, what -- what is the real purpose of
3 the flyover and the connection of Yellow Bluff
4 on the back of that? And is that going to make
5 it an easier connection from the port, for them
6 to drive up through there when you're maybe --
7 eventually trying to keep trucking off of Alta
8 due to the concerns of the residential housing
9 there.
10 Plus, that will be going through the back
11 of the residential that's supposed to be in this
12 center's plan for this land use change and
13 development of this.
14 I think some thought needs to be taken into
15 that, and account, and what they're really going
16 to be trying to do there when they make that
17 connection.
18 And, secondly, I haven't heard anything
19 talked about -- there's only two lanes that go
20 underneath that overpass for Interstate 95 and
21 what's going on with the widening of the road
22 there. I haven't really heard a lot of
23 discussion on how much they're going to widen
24 that.
25 I know I'm in contact with one of the
Diane M.
Tropia,
42
1 property owners on the corner of this property
2 that -- right there by the ramp, that -- he
3 hasn't been contacted or anything about what's
4 going to go on with that, and that -- that road
5 is supposed to be connecting all the way through
6 to
7 overpass, is that scheduled? Is there
8 identification for that thing to be completely
9 redesigned so you can get four lanes under it or
10 what's going on there?
11 I think we're putting the cart before the
12 horse once again. We've had years to plan for
13 this port coming in. Now we're -- we've already
14 changed property to get residential up there.
15 Now we've got to have a concern with trucks
16 and -- and trying to get warehousing to support
17 the port.
18 And, once again, we put the cart before the
19 horse, and we need to think about these things
20 and where these trucks are going to be before we
21 approve any more zoning that may affect the
22 residential that's already in that area.
23 Thank you.
24 THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Mr. Weeks.
25 Seeing no other speakers, we will
Diane M.
Tropia,
43
1 continue -- that public hearing will be
2 continued until May 6th with no other action
3 this evening.
4 (Ms. Johnston approaches the podium.)
5 MS. JOHNSTON: Would you mind if I
6 responded briefly to his questions about the
7 traffic?
8 THE CHAIRMAN: You've already had your
9 opportunity to speak, Ms. Johnston. I think
10 since it's continued, we should wait until the
11 next --
12 MS. JOHNSTON: All right. I'll be happy to
13 do so.
14 Thank you.
15 THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you.
