Thank you, Madam Chair and members of the commission. Good evening. The item that was just read into the record is before you tonight for denial. These projects were submitted on July 13th, 2026. Staff has reviewed the project and found that it fails to meet the city zoning ordinances, engineering standards, and other applicable city codes, ordinances, regulations, rules, policies, or standards as stated in the staff report below. And with that, I'd be happy to take any questions.

Is that applicant here for number 12?

I move to disapprove item 12 for the reasons identified in the staff's report and delegate the staff to author the authority to provide a written statement to the applicant for the reasons for the disapproval.

I have a motion by Sean. Second. Second by Steve. All those in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Seeing none, motion passes 6-0. Item number 13 is a site plan for code N3537, addition block B, lot 3, SP26-0061, owner CNM2021, LLC.

Good evening chair and members of the commission. The item just read into record is before you today with the recommendation for disapproval for denial. Throughout the review period, the applicant failed to address staff's comment by the stated deadline. Therefore, this item failed to meet the city codes of ordinance subdivision standards. This item is recommended for denial. I am happy to answer any questions you may have.

Is the applicant here for number 13? OK.

I move to disapprove item number 13 for the reasons identified in the staff's report and delegate to staff the authority to provide a written statement to the applicant of the reasons for the disapproval.

I have a motion by Steve.

Second.

Second by John. All those in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Seeing none, motion passes 6-0. Thank you. Item number 14, results from the September 1, 2026 City Council meeting.

Yes, there were four ordinances that council approved. First one was the ordinance for repealing and replacing the plane development up at the southwest corner of 423 and US 380. That's where they replaced the restaurants with a health facility, and it was about orientation of the health facility to the central open space. P&Z had approved that five to zero. Consideration of adoption of an ordinance to nonconforming uses and structures. So Jonathan worked on this and so that was approved five to zero. P&Z had approved it six to zero. The other one was about architectural standards. PNZ approved that, four to two. Council unanimously recommended approval of that, five to zero. And the last one was about the recension of a specific use permit for a daycare facility on 423, in which PNZ recommended recension, and Council approved the ordinance for that. So.

John, do you have any idea when the Trader Joe's project will come back before City Council?

The earliest it will come back is, I believe that is October 6th.

Okay, number 15, schedule for future discussion items. Anything?

Don't have anything, nope. One thing I do wanna mention, Friday is 9-11, so hopefully people remember what that's all about. 25 years. Yes, and just speaking on that, Well, in 1966, I was, you know, a child then, but I was just thinking that was 25 years after Pearl Harbor, and you just think of people born after the event is how realist, or, you know, how do they relate to us? Just a footnote in history, but, you know, it's about educating the youth.

That note, John, the city of Frisco does a great job doing a remembrance ceremony at Frisco Commons Park this coming Friday morning.

All right.

Warren, it's your time.

Move to adjourn.

I have a motion by Warren.

Second.

Second by Sean. All those in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Seeing none, motion passes 6-0. We are adjourned at 6.40 p.m.
