“And then I just want to go over just kind of an issue with the range, the shooting range. Was it 25 yards, 25 meters? Yeah. And is that just something you're just spitballing, or is that a specific request?”

“So I've never been in an indoor shooting range that's also in the same building where there is office space. In my understanding with shooting ranges, it requires a high amount of ventilation. So I mean, has that been, I mean, is there another building that has this same situation where it's an indoor shooting range and there's also two other floors of office space?”

“Okay. So, I mean, and just to reiterate again, you said the ventilation will be segregated from the rest of the ventilation from... the rest of the building because... That's correct. You're right. It's a big deal having a separate ventilation system for a firing range. So what happens if the ventilation doesn't work or if you have to do repair for that one?”

“I have a dumb non-architect question. Can you just not build the third floor? Just put the roof on the second floor and call it a day? Like how hard is that?”

“I think you can. I'm just eyeballing. My colleagues have brought some interesting points. And you can move things around. And I don't think they'll be hurt for space if you just have the two floors. And I think there'll be an easier way than just doing a complete redesign, just two floors.”

“Thank you for the presentation. So for new projects that, I guess maybe the word score is the right word, but score a low VMT or maybe ranked, is that the right way to say it?”

“Okay, so this is a related question. So if the whole point of this is to, or a lot of the point is to encourage infill development and also TOD, will there be any reduction in impact fees associated with that to further incentivize those kinds of projects and make them pencil out?”
City Council · Oct 13, 2026
- Play at 3:43:30
“OK, so this would be at whose discretion to reduce that fee?”
City Council · Oct 13, 2026
- Play at 3:43:38
“Oh, yeah, per the master fee schedule. But do you have discretion as just a one-off?”
City Council · Oct 13, 2026

“Will this analysis consider the growth of our neighborhoods, the urban growth of our development Because when I think about a sustainable and long-term, long-range financial plan, I'm also thinking about what kinds of development are we incentivizing and how much of that is paying back into our revenue and paying back for the services that we have to pay for. Is there any consideration for that?”
