“Mayor, I kind of have a question in relation to what Councilmember Freeman brought up. When we make changes like that, do we only address what was on the agenda? If we want to make other changes, is that something that needs to come back and be noticed and that kind of thing?”

“Mayor, I'm wondering if you or Councilmember Harrison would want to explain to the public what kind of what it is?”

“Okay. That's a good solution. I was hesitant to name it a recreation area because that, again, places expectations and We don't know when it would be developed or if future councils might not decide to do that. Who knows, right? But it is a donation. The city appreciates it. I've talked to Water Department, and it'll be helpful to the city. So I appreciate that. So yeah, I support just naming it Peck Mill Pond. And I think a plaque is appropriate. And I know there's been interest in putting a historical marker up at that location as well. So you might get named twice. Who knows? I don't know.…”

“Ryan, just to clarify, we wouldn't have to change the general plan?”

“So I have a couple thoughts. One thing I want to address is the idea that was presented of the split zoning. And I just want to try to articulate why I don't think that's a good solution. One, it will put more residents next to this unpleasant use that really nobody wants to be next to, right? It will put more traffic on to Trinnaman Lane. And the other thing is when we enter a development agreement, that's the that's the way i want to go because it blanket rezoning you're not going to get the protections you'll get it with a development agreement we could add things in there that you…”

“I agree. So I have a question. The development agreement, do you want it to include a concept plan?”

“So I talked to the potential developer here. And just to clarify for his sake, he was concerned. I guess the intent is to rent out the office warehouses and each individual one. And there might be different uses in those. He talked about maybe having a hobby shop where somebody works on their cars. And he was concerned about the welding. So that's why welding shop was in there. But welding shop is an entirely different use. So with office warehouse, I just want to clarify if you would, how do you say that, incidental to allowed uses or provided?”
City Council · Sep 8, 2026

“Okay, so just to clarify what the council would do, I would like your input. Would you prefer to limit it to office warehouse or take off some of the uses that are in this exhibit B that we're not comfortable with?”

“Do you want to do it as part of the motion or hash it out now?”

“We've got to give direction. Yeah, okay.”

“I think that's okay. I think that's good to put in the setbacks, put in the elements. I kind of want to know where the parking is because I know the concern was expressed that the adjacent resident didn't want a hangout area, which I get because I had that when I lived in an apartment. I know what it's like to have teenagers out there smoking or whatever. So one thing I thought of, so maybe we could just talk about elements and then come up with a design. I don't know. That's a good question. But I know what I was thinking, like, do you want the building closer to you or do you want parking?…”

“So we could just give direction on those kind of things to consider, put it in there or apply it to a concept plan, but.”
City Council · Sep 8, 2026

“So maybe, so back in the day, back in the day, content plans would come before the city council. And it was kind of just general direction. And what I understood at that time, it didn't grant vested rights, but it gave everybody a kind of general idea of what they would work towards. So maybe just a general concept plan where you kind of work through those things, the design standards and where exceptions might need to be made. But also, I know one of the issues, we want to minimize sound. So what's the best way to do it? But we want to maximize privacy. And so maybe we could put it on you to…”

“OK, I prefer striking it. But if you're going to keep it in, like if it's the hill to die on for the developer, I would definitely define it and make it temporary, like overnight, period.”

“I was going to say, do you want to come up? Is that appropriate to ask the applicant to come up, ask questions of the applicant? It is now. He's coming up anyway.”

“general manufacturing processing assembly seemed like that would probably not be appropriate there that's correct okay and just clarify for the public that the light manufacturing has stipulations that it can't be impactful as far as the noise and the smells and that kind of thing so i like that we don't allow i mean we don't allow people to cut holes in the building so they're going to have to”

“Yeah. And one thing we talked about also was keeping the operations indoors versus outdoors.”

“And I think on the inside of the wall, definitely, right? They're enclosed. They're private and things would happen.”

“No, I think mostly looking at the layout, right?”
City Council · Sep 8, 2026

“And you could just develop it, the office warehouse, right? I'm looking at it in the future. So this development agreement's tied to the land. So unless I hear strong opposition between now and when it comes back, that no, we don't want professional offices to go there. I think maybe it might be an acceptable future use someday, maybe, if somebody wants to.”
City Council · Sep 8, 2026
- Play at 4:32:10
“Yeah. So my point is we just have to look to the future, too, and”

“Anything else? So take out that because it's outdoor. That's a good point. I'm good.”

“remove the berm include we said wall or fence so I was just saying let's just say wall just so that so change that to an 8 foot tall masonry what's in there now or concrete wall yeah and you want you understand what I the landscaping so it's not just the adjacent to the property owner but at the other I guess cherries doing the motion Um, and yes, what council member Harrison said about the, the zone change. Um, and 1.3 that addresses the vehicular access, um, as required by the fire code, I would keep that so that it's not public access, a crash gate or something like that.”

“If required by the fire code. I think that's all.”
