“Thank you, Chairman. All right. So we have a very good framework for a lot of in-depth discussion, some news, some covering some older stuff, but bring it back up. I guess for me, instead of just diving in, my question is, can we just reframe where we are? Like, we're kind of starting the dialogue over, but we already kind of know where everybody's driving to, meaning, like, Director Ragsdale, in the standard use permit or the special use permit vernacular, in a general term, like, It's a wide net based on a definition in the UDC that triggers a series of events, broadly speaking, yes? And in…”

“But is this a participation thing where it's like because they worked hard on it, we need to hear it? Or if we know that they're not going to do it, why are we being disingenuous about it? And again, the moratorium has been addressed. We know that there are certain things that we can't do. And I'm just trying to get us back to the business of the city as fast as humanly possible.”

“Yeah, I mean, it still poses a question. Like, again, this thing's going to go for first reading today. It's going to come down to the, like, again, I'm happy, and I'm sorry I haven't memorized every document. It's not to be disrespectful. It's because I've listened. intently to each and every argument that has been made and again i'm just i'm not trying to disrespect the process i think we can have these information sessions and they're important but sometimes i think they are what causes us to get down so far into the weeds that we again forget at the very end what the outcome was which is…”

“And so the point is, why do we have to look at what's on the table now instead of just saying, hey, we've discussed this. These came out. There wasn't a lot of agreement.”

“that's what we're doing is we're talking about the existing ordinance and all the other ones so that we can build a consensus it's just and maybe that but you'd actually did miss that so you know like I you know JB gave me grief for not being here you know I talked too much I talked too little like I'm in here because I want to drive this to resolution because in the weeks preceding up to it it seems like it's been a like difficult to do that and it's not a direction to you it's like Again, I want to do the work, but I don't have five days to give to this, like in a row. I don't. I don't have…”

“It is the simplest thing. fastest and accomplishes the outcome to start and by the way no piece of legislation is perfect it is it should be watched it's going to change i mean i talked to somebody that sat in the room with the man for 30 minutes at a meeting and told me that in this person i have a huge amount of respect for said that guy is thinking on a totally different plane like again i say that to say that the world is evolving so rapidly it's going to need to evolve Like it's going to need time, but like this, but we wanna make it so complex that we just continue to kind of beat the…”

“It's just on that same thing about, what about transfer of beneficial ownership? It's like we treat hotels or assign... where they're basically non-conforming, but they've become grandfathered in or whatever. If I transfer my ownership in the hotel, I still have to come back and get re-approved, right?”

“Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Can we step back to vested rights? Because I think that's a key point that I want to understand a little bit more. I understand at a layman's level, when we're going through zoning applications, if I'm going to change zoning on the underlying rights, like the actual property rights, I'm getting those rights vested in me, but if I'm buying land that's already zoned industrial land, Is it still the same vesting rights because I'm going through the permitting process? Where's the nuance there for me?”

“So the trigger in and of itself is the application under the current rights, other than if it were zoned something else, because then they'd have to go through that, yeah. All right, so this goes back to the question of, like, the economic environment, right? And the question of, like, will you apply? I got a question downstairs, like, would you apply and rush? And I think the question is, it depends. Like, it goes back to, like, what the administration will do, too, right? Like, so under Mayor Strickland, things were under review for quite some time. I just don't know that process nuanced…”

“It is 1220 on October 6th, Tuesday, all day. As my former colleague Martavius Jones used to say, got to see him over the weekend. It's good to see him. We have, colleagues, three items on today's agenda. Did you call the roll?”

“The Councilwoman Rhonda Logan is here. All right, colleagues, it's gonna be a heavy day, so we'll have a little bit of fun here, lighten the mood. We have three items on today's agenda. The first two look to be like we are gonna clear up some amendments to our community grant program. So item number one, a resolution to amend the fiscal year council community grant program allocations all council districts sponsored by Councilman Smiley. May I have a motion and a second? Move it. Any discussion on this item? Seeing none, all those in favor of sending this down with a positive recommendation,…”

“That was always going to be my question when you finish this. How do you get to an income approach basis?”

“Not under the current statutory schemes, but we just... You could have self-dealing and all these other things, but there has to be some sort of mechanism.”

“No doubt about it. I mean, and here's the deal, you're talking about it, it's a reverse pilot, meaning like if you get, whether whoever gets the control on that lever, right, like you elect to take the income approach, and then it's based on, even if it's a special election, you're still allowing us the opportunity to make an economic development decision, or the state can, and my point is that other states will eventually follow suit. It will be modeled out because they won't be able to say no to that.”
