“I want to follow up to that. What we're doing is rezoning, and once the TIA is done, it will address any traffic that needs to be mitigated. And if it requires an X-cell or D-cell lane, they have to do that before they're allowed to bill and do what they're proposing to do. So I think we're putting a cart before the horse if we're saying you should do a TIA before the rezoning. Because that's what a TIA is going to tell you how to handle the traffic. or based on what they're looking to do, if you need to add lanes or desale lane or acceleration lane, right in, right out, the TIA tells you all…”

“If the owner's going to come speak, do we need to defer so we have the public hearing again so that he's allowed to speak? Because is he going to be allowed to speak at second reading, besides the two minutes?”

“Can we narrow down, I mean, just to address Councilman Litton's concern, can we narrow down and put some restrictions so that the unseen, unknown can't come versus what they're pitching to this property? I guess that would be more important.”

“So do we have to include these as part of a motion or the deed restrictions to kind of move forward? Or can we do that later? Do we do it now to reflect what they've expressed they would prohibit with this rezoning.”

“So I guess my question now goes to legal. Can we just include these to say to include the express prohibited uses without reading them all individually?”

“Well, could we just include it in the second reading and have it as an amendment? Yes, you could. That would be much simpler and cleaner.”

“So the reason why I was asking that, because we heard neighbors who didn't like the idea. We heard neighbors who do like the idea. And we have council members who are concerned with some of the future uses. So try to accommodate everybody to make it work. I think it's only right to try to exclude some of the things that council or community wouldn't want to see happen if this didn't come through, because we see the Walmart didn't happen. It was planned for a Walmart. So now if we put some protections in for some neighbors, maybe they can get comfortable. Also give Flint Hill community what…”

“So am I correct in understanding that this only applies to residential? Because I know someone said something early in the meeting about the commercial. So to clear the room, this is only for residential. And it's going, if your neighbor's zoned one way and you're zoned this way, you happen to buy your neighbor's property and you want to combine them, you have to combine them to the larger Well, if Thomas' motion is correct, you can't even do it after third reading. It already has to be split zoning as of third reading. You can't create a split zone situation just to rezone to the larger…”

“I remember when I was on the planning committee, PNC, we did have something come up that if something was non-conforming and if they wanted to add a deck or do something different, they had to rezone. Am I accurate? Is that an accurate statement?”

“Chairman Cox, Chairwoman Cox mentioned, made me think about that, and I think that's what you were thinking, about they would have to rezone it before they build something on it. Oh, that is the case.”

“I just want to say we have a Public Works Committee meeting coming up on the 29th, I think it is. So there will be an update on the animal control facility.”

“All righty. All right, as you can see, Chairwoman Cox is not here, so I've been given the gavel for the night in the absence of Tom Ardette, who's our vice chair. So this is a council workshop, and I'll defer to my colleagues if we want to start off with a prayer. If anybody want to lead us in prayer real quick, we can do that before we get the meeting started. So since I'm looking at Watts, I guess I'll just turn it over to Watts.”

“All right, I'm sure there's a couple more people maybe trickling in from upstairs. As I look around the room, I see a lot of familiar faces. I see one of my high school classmates I hadn't seen in a while. I see some friends from the neighborhood, Chad Williams, a former county council member is here, some county staff, and people from all over York County. We're ecstatic to have everyone come in and present us with the study. I think it was fitting to have me lead the meet tonight because workforce housing and affordable housing is one of the things that I've talked about for a long time,…”

“think I think our county staff can work up some numbers that's what it cost to serve what's the break even we've done it years ago we had a number um one thing I want to I want to point out a few things the first thing that jumped out to me and I kind of lit up a little bit when you said it that we have so many jobs here our jobs are outpacing our housing you know other communities probably have a different issue they don't have the jobs And so we've kind of jumped ahead and created this by, and I guess I can toot York County's horn and some of the other municipalities in the area, we've done…”

“I guess I'll close by saying I think this study has gotten us off to a good start, given us something to look at of substance that we can now talk about, massage, work with planning, work with staff to see what are some of the options that are available in here that we can bring to the forefront to assist in this effort. One thing I know we're definitely committed to, we definitely won't stop recruiting jobs to come here. fight on the other end to be able to get more housing, workforce housing. And I like the term workforce housing because affordable housing just had such a negative…”
