“Jordan, is the creation of this board a staff recommendation? I guess I'm curious because you're doing the presentation.”

“I guess, to me, this feels a little cart before the horse. At the strategic session in June, we asked the sports task force committee to go and look at, like you said, look at opportunities and come back to council with those opportunities, not create an action item for us to create a board before we've had a chance to discuss those opportunities as a body. So I think I would... respectfully ask that we table this until we've had a chance to discuss it as a whole before we actually create some new branch of our city government.”

“Sure. No, I get it. I just, I mean, I'm just simply asking that we table this until we have a discussion about it. Considering the fact that the user agreements aren't up until March of 2027, we've got several months, so I don't really see what two weeks or four weeks would do.”

“to be honest don't even know how to amend this thing to do that or what the number would be but i'm certainly happy to have that conversation thank you sir councilman will thank you mr mayor ashley i love your vision for these properties i i'm so excited since i saw your your initial concepts for it um i don't think it's uh i don't think it's it's i don't think i'm violating anything from exec when i say i i think there was a consensus that if you came forward with a tenant who needs a grease trap, like with a certificate of occupancy for them. And they're something that we would want to see…”

“Thank you, Mr. Mayor. My question's for staff. I suspect I know the answer already, but I just want to get it on the record. Knowing that the side yard setbacks are not just to prevent looming over neighbors and provide a certain amount of distance between the structures on the property, but also to provide utility easements so that utilities can run through there. And like I said, I see that there's some flat work. The driveway basically comes all the way over to the property line already. I suspect the answer is no, but does staff have any issues with the fact that putting this structure…”

“Sure. Sure, thank you. That being the case, since we're replacing a structure that was already there and was there when he acquired the property. And if there is no utility issues, then I don't have a problem with approving this. Thank you.”

“Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Just for my own clarification, And maybe this is a mistaken understanding, but I understood that if it was attached to the structure of the home, it didn't trigger the SUP requirement previously?”

“Yes, Mr. Mayor. Sarah, to that gentleman's point, can you clarify why in this instance we're requiring an SUP if the zoning or the land use designation for a restaurant under the development code allows for a certain amount of gaming or entertainment?”

“No, I just wanted clarification. Thank you. I had one question about the land use. In that one slide that we looked at, I was just trying to understand maybe the theory behind having those two properties designated as mixed use when It's a strip mall. It's probably only going to be retail commercial ever. So I'm just kind of curious why we have that as mixed use.”

“Maybe I missed it. I was looking. It just says that we're looking for approval to use something other than what's listed, but it doesn't say actually what the sign is going to be composed of. So do we know? I may have missed it, but I don't see it. in the presentation.”

“Greg, what do you think? I think if I were the king of Keller and could do whatever I wanted, doesn't allow any new STRs in neighborhoods, and doesn't overly burden the people who are already operating if they're operating in good faith, and it gives us an option to hold them accountable if they aren't operating in good faith. or creating problem districts, and eventually, it will eventually lead to one at some point, because those properties will change hands at some point, and the grandfathered status would not be transferable to the new property owner. So it would eventually become a…”

“can register but not necessarily have to go through the SUP process as long as they're registered and they're meeting the requirements that we put in place and obviously wouldn't lose their grandfather status because they're operating in good faith and then Yeah, so typically we don't have that just to be honest with you because it gets pretty”
