“Well, but those two aren't there. It's the two circle ones that are the difference. Not all the others because we already had red in the other ones.”

“So it's really just the two circles that got created.”

“Did 2016 have the same kind of traffic scope? I'm sorry? Did 2016 have a similar traffic scope?”

“If I could ask one more question along those lines. It mostly is, is there going to be staff on site overnight with the animals, or are they going to be there by themselves?”

“Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And I just wanted to... because I thought you were going to stay up here, but that's okay. And you clarified one of them, because I had seen that, you know, in the picture that we had in our packet, too, that it looks like it's more two individual signs instead of one sign merged together, is what I'm seeing from the picture. So I just was, but you had clarified that, so thank you for that, because it does look like the two individual things. I very much appreciate that you're making it more visible because when you are at that light, really all you see is the movie…”

“Okay, and I agree with almost everything that all the fellow commissioners have said. I have a few other things to sort of add to it to not try and be redundant. But most of the things in the chart that you're permitting, I would almost say, need to be SUP. And they've touched on the light industrial. I just don't like the idea we're blanket doing that. But the one that I haven't heard mentioned that we have guidelines on now, you have the electronic charging stations as permitted, which means there wouldn't be some structure that we've even just recently passed. Well, I think it's still got…”

“Well, and Sarah, we worked on the new, isn't that going to address the issue?”

“Well, and what I'm referring to is something else that we're working with the city on. And what we did was we segregated out the personal for the reasons that you're talking about. But I don't think it's went before council yet, correct, Sarah?”

“Did they do it with the private, like we were talking about? Yes, ma'am. Okay. So we may already have, maybe, and working with staff probably could get, but no one had touched on that one. Indoor entertainment facility. normally would not concern me, but we recently have had an issue in town with one of the facilities who have now brought in more gaming type of contents, and so that's been an issue. And so I don't know if I wouldn't want them to come back with an SUP, so we at least know what kind of entertainment facility would be going into any of the buildings. It's not saying don't allow…”

“Well, and I like the idea. I'm just thinking it's almost like the things that y'all went ahead and permitted, I would have left as the SUPs as we're in here.”

“That's what I was thinking. It needs to be the smaller kind of market. And then the other one no one's touched on. What about this radio broadcasting without tower? What exactly do you see that as envisioning as instead of being the SUV that we had?”

“But that was some of the things because we took them from SUP and just allowed them by right. And recently in this area, there's been a thing when a city changed something by right basically and allowed it, permitted it. And there's questions on some of the things when originally it had to have come back before them. So it bypasses PNZ, it bypasses City Council. And so sometimes there's questions that the community has about what it is. They may say yes to it, but by bypassing the process, sometimes I don't think that that's necessarily the way we want to look at it. That kind of went through…”

“On the one street that goes along the wall. I just want to hear how one of y'all would get to the end. All those spaces are filled. You got down there. You don't have a place in the space to turn around. Explain to me how you're going to navigate that.”

“And that kind of was me. It's like I can't even see where I can get down there and do anything, be stuck. The other question I have is it looked like the Paseo was all walking. But is it not on the one street between the A and B and the other retail buildings? That's a pass-through street, though, there. Not like it is in the back. You will be passing over, you know, the one...”

“Right. Are you going to turn to the picture that I was...”

“And that might be so that at least there's a slowdown for the traffic for the people.”
Planning & Zoning Commission · Sep 8, 2026

“And then that way they at least have to slow to go through that.”

“Right. And I don't know if you want to point to it for the audience but that's the area that I was talking about right there for those that were asking. Yeah, if you did do a little bit of a raise, because it's going to be across, and at least there's a slowdown for the pedestrians. There was something. I do like the idea of this area, I will tell you that. It's just some of these things, I'm wondering if we need to come back potentially with a few of these things kind of hammered out a little bit before it's presented. I do have one concern that y'all had mentioned in your of starting with…”

“So do you see that since there is existing buildings, are we talking about at least trying to get those filled, refurbished, filled with it before we would even venture to starting brownstones ground?”
Planning & Zoning Commission · Sep 8, 2026
- Play at 2:57:09
“And then a little bit of question about the brownstones is because I understand about the parking in the back but I know I was in the meeting in April and we talked about them being three-story and we potentially talked about then are we having elevators in them that are going to go from the garage to the two stories above it or is that still being potentially talked about?”

“Well, I mean, you're up here now, so I mean, I give you the opportunity to tell, because I got to hear about some of the things you were going to put in. If there's anything else you want to talk about the brownstones that set them apart from other things. communities of brownstones because there is your Keller resident, you know, we want to keep it small and I'm one of the, I do, I want to keep it small, but I do also recognize that right off of 377 and it is already in the fluff zone to potentially do some brownstones there. But, um, the other one concern I have is, is if I'm a visiting…”

“So if the garages are under these units, is there ramps that are going down?”

“Well, and that's what I saw. I mean, we're not going to have on-street parking in the residential. So...”

“I think pretty much you've answered a lot of my questions that I had that I hadn't heard answers to, but I still, I'm leaning towards needing some more concrete facts. I mean, I love the idea of this. I think we're getting somewhere, but I do think I'm with chairman Baker. I do think things need to come back through the process and not just give everything by right to the, to the decision factors. So that's kind of where I'm sitting. Thank you.”

“Okay, I don't want to re-go over a lot of the things. I appreciate all the things my fellow commissioners have talked about. But I do want to address a couple of things in what I was hearing with... Because, I mean, you can tell our biggest thing is this intersection, right, in the traffic and the flow. But when you were doing the presentation on... the traffic flow. What I did see was some of the things that you were doing to improve that we actually improved. There were areas that we improved our numbers for the traffic flow. That traffic light took us down. We were in the red in some areas…”
