Planning & Zoning Commission - Regular Meeting

All right. I'd like to call the meeting to order at 7 p.m. Uh we have three commissioners absent this evening. Uh commissioners Men, Atkinson, and Hudson. And uh to get right into it, uh item number two, citizen communication. The planning and zoning commission welcomes comment. Oh, you moved, didn't you? We all moved, sir. I just go by the order. Apologies. Uh, the All right, we'll start over there. Uh, it says in communication, the Planning and Zoning Commission welcomes comment on items relevant to the Planning and Zoning Commission not already scheduled on tonight's agenda. In accordance with the Texas Attorney General's opinion, any public comment that is made on an item that is not on the published agenda will only be heard by the commission. No formal action, discussion, deliberation, or comment will be made by the commission. Each person providing public comment will be limited to three minutes. We'll be asked to state his or her name and address for the public record. Uh we do have a couple of public comment uh items for later in the agenda. So if you're watching to speak to any of those, we'll hold off until then. But for open comment, do we have anyone wishing to speak? All right. Seeing as none, we will move on to item three, the consent agenda. All matters listed under the consent agenda are considered routine by the commission and will be acted by one motion. The items include preliminary and final plats where staff has found compliance with all minimum subdivision regulations. All items approved by consent are approved with any and all staff recommendations. There will not be a separate discussion of these items. If any commissioner desires to discuss an item on the consent agenda, we'll move it to the regular agenda for further consideration. Are there any items the commissioner wishes to remove from the consent agenda? All right. We have 3A, which is approving a preliminary plan for Flugerville Downtown East West subdivision. Uh we also have 3B which is approving a preliminary plan for Olsson Farm subdivision preliminary plan. Uh 3 C which is approving minutes for the February 3rd 2025 meeting. 3D D approving the planning and zoning

commission minutes for March 3rd 2025. And 3E uh approving the minutes from the May 13th joint work session meeting with city council. Uh if there's nothing else, I'll accept a motion and a second to approve items 3 A, B, C, D, and E. Motion to approve. Second. Approve. All right. All in favor? I. Thank you. Any opposed? No. All right. Motion passes. Thank you very much. All right. Moving on. Uh section four, discuss and consider. Uh seeing as there was no items moved from the consent agenda, we'll start with 4A. Uh which is uh discuss and consider action regarding the Old Town Park master plan. All right. Well, thank you, commissioners. My name is Jeff Mâche. I'm assistant parks and recreation director. I'm going to walk you through the Oldtown Park master plan, which you all have been uh working on with us for the last six to eight months. Um so, a long time coming. I'm excited to be presenting this information to you. What you're going to see tonight is the master plan itself, uh minus a executive summary from our design team. Um and so we'll go through all the information. And if you have any questions, u feel free to stop me and we can we can discuss. Um so sort of how we got here, you all will know this pretty well because you've been on this steering committee. Um but we created a steering committee for the Oldtown Park master plan made up of the planning and zoning commission and parks and recreation commission um around the middle of last year. And we had four workshop meetings in the fall and winter of 2024. And if you'll remember, and I'll remind you if you don't, uh, the steering committee goals through that process were to create an enduring and innovative master plan reflective of the unique Flutville culture, a vibrant and inclusive transformation of the original city center of the community, a non-traditional park design that highlights our trail capital, Texas mindset, which is even more important

now that we've officially received that designation. Uh, and a plan that can be flexibly phased to grow as funding allows. So after our meetings last year, we took that to a city council lunch and learn uh to talk through the process um and some of the design team's findings in February and then uh took the first draft of this to city council work session in April. Um and our next steps are to receive Oh, there we go. Now I'm louder. Um receive approval from the PNZ after we got approval from the park commission last month. So, sort of as a a a reminder of, you know, how it is that we got here. Um, so we're looking at Oldtown Park, which is right across the street from our historic water tower here in Flugerville. Um, I won't go over the site history again, but one thing that we made sure to highlight every time we met as a steering committee, was this quote from a resident. It says, "This water tower represents who we are and where we came from." And I feel like our steering committee, our design teams did a really good job of highlighting that at every uh every turn. Um the importance of this space can't be understated. Um and as you'll remember, we had a really robust public engagement process throughout this process. Uh we built a mini water tower for engagement. There you see our mini water tower with its big brother. Um that was by far the most popular thing that we did through this engagement. We had folks coming up to our table just to take pictures with that and then we tried to divert them to our uh public engagement to try to give us some feedback. But that was absolutely the draw. We've actually had a few offers to buy that since we since we uh did this public engagement, but that's ours, so we're going to use it. Uh we were at Deutschenfest uh for about eight hours on the Saturday of Deutschenfest. We got a ton of good feedback there. We were at one of the Rock the Blocks in the fall. And then probably the most important thing we did during this process was our on-site neighborhood engagement. We used

door hangers uh within the three threeb block radius to get folks out uh to the park um one week night and had a public engagement exercise with folks in that neighborhood. Um discuss the the the ideas what we're looking at, what they would like to see out of this and we gave them free snow cones. So we had a lot of teens actually come up to the engagement because they were weren't sure what was going on. Got a free snow cone and then we got some engagement from them. So um we got a lot of touch points there. We also had an online survey that was open for about two months. We got 120 responses on that. Um, and something that we did during our uh parks, recreation, and open space master plan was we tallied total touch points throughout that process. Um, so our systemwide master plan had about 30,000 touch points, which we were incredibly excited about and has sort of set the standard for systemwide master plans across the country now. Um, but this uh master plan for a 1acre piece of property had over 1,200 touch points. And so, you know, we're really excited about that. We think that this is really going to be representative of what the community wants. Um, and our design team did a great job of engaging people in a really fun way throughout this process. So, one of the first questions that we got um from folks that engaged with us was just some feedback on existing park design uh park designs in the area. think that it's really good for people to be able to see uh you know visually something that maybe they've even visited in person and sort of see how that can translate into this the space that we're looking at here. And what we saw a lot more overwhelmingly than even these numbers show was people's connection to Kingsbury Commons which is at Peace Park in downtown Austin. Um, and the elements that that uh exist within that area of Peace Park were a lot of what people wanted to see in this space. Um, so you'll see some common design elements between this and that, which are places to gather,

natural play elements, places that cool, of course, trail connections here, some elevation opportunities. So, if you've been to Peace Park and you've seen this globe, they they have a an elevated walkway that goes up to that globe and people can can go in there and rest and relax and play. um something that resonated with people in in this process as well. Uh of course shade which is huge for us in all of our parks and then connecting both of the park spaces. So these two parcels that we're discussing are biseected by Hoops I think it's Hoops Avenue actually not Hoops Street but um at Second Street. And so part of the public engagement was asking folks what do they want to see done with that roadway? um do do they just want to inc you know enhanced crossing um some increased safety there? Do we want to actually close that part of the street and incorporate it into the park? And we heard pretty overwhelmingly that the best idea was to close that street and incorporate it into the park space. Um now that's one thing to hear that from folks across the city. It's another thing to hear that from folks that live directly adjacent to this park, which is also what we heard. We talked to a lot of the people that live right uh along this park. Um, this neighborhood is a grid, so we asked the question, "Do you feel like if this was closed, this is going to take you too far out of your way." Um, and we heard unanimously, at least in person there, um, that no, they didn't feel like that was they felt the benefit to adding that to the park was uh, far outweighed the loss of that street. So, there are a couple homes that do have their access on Hoops Hoops Avenue. So, it wouldn't completely be closed. It's just the space that bisects um the street near these two parcels. Um some feedback from surveys. I just wanted to highlight one thing here. You see the green and blue uh pie chart there. Um is how far do you live from the park? So we had 29% of respondents lived within a half mile of the park and 44% of folks lived within a mile of the park. Um so almost half of

the folks that responded to the the survey lived within a mile which is really important to us. This is uh a space that's hasn't seen a lot of change in a long time. Um and what we're what we're discussing with this concept is is a pretty big change. And so we wanted to make sure that those uh people that lived in that area were were heard um and that their their voices were listened to during this process. One of the big questions that we asked throughout the entire process was what amenities do you want at OldTown Park? And we were pretty vague about this. uh our design team just wanted to get a feel for what uh they wanted to see out of this place. What do they want to do there? Um and the top four that we saw were play elements, shade structures, places that cool, and trail connections, which weren't really that surprising to us. Uh but it was good to know that that was the top four uh that people had in mind throughout this process. You also see we asked, "What do you want to do at Old Park?" And we saw a lot of folks said either uh recreational play or relaxation, which makes sense that that in that neighborhood in particular, um it's very multigenerational. Uh you've got a lot of young families, young kids, and you've also got a lot of retired folks who have lived there for a long time. And so our our hope throughout this process was to create a multigenerational space where it's not just a playground where where families with kids are visiting. Uh we want to be a place that people can socialize, they can relax, they can go read a book, have their coffee um and also a place for those families to take their kids. And uh the other question that we asked was how can the existing water tower be reimagined? And I don't think this is very surprising either, but people didn't want to see it be reimagined. Uh they wanted to keep the water tower as it is. The second most popular item on that was to create a light installation, and we're we're one step ahead of the curve on that because it's lit now. So people were pretty happy to hear about that. We were making that change as we were doing this public engagement. So we got a pretty easy win with a lot of

folks that wanted to see it lit. As you all remember through this process, they used a lot of design inspiration that's sort of outside the box. It's not just a playground replacement with some benches. We were tasked with really thinking creatively about this space. And so our design team looked across the country and a lot in Austin to try to figure out what some of those design inspirations should be. Um, and these are some that they used throughout this process. And so one of the things that they were trying to do throughout this process, and y'all will remember this from all the meetings we had with our design team, is is uh an educational component. So with the water tower being what it is and the staple in our community, they they wanted to highlight the city's connection to water. So you'll see there's a flow through this this concept. Um and so on the right side of the screen, that's the north side of the park. So going from north to south, they sort of tell the story of water in our community from access to delivery to the reclamation of water. So telling the story of the Colorado River and Lake Flugerville where we we access our water. um you utilizing the water tower to to sort of show the delivery of that. And then on the south side of the park, there's a lot of native plant gardens and and rain gardens that highlight the reclamation of water in the in the community. And then in keeping with that sort of flowy theme, um they they tried to keep some of the active recreational opportunities to the north side of the park and as it moves down to the south it it moves to the passive side because those two things can coexist, but if you can separate them at all so people have the space to relax and then they've got the space to recreate. That's that's sort of the goal here. Uh this is the program diagram. Uh I am not a landscape architect so I won't wouldn't be able to do this quite as much justice. I think we'll I I'll cover a few things here and we'll go to the concept design so that you can sort

of see where they landed on all these things. But um I do want to highlight something that's really easy to see here which is on a 1acre park that's in a neighborhood like this. It's really important to buffer the park from the folks that live directly adjacent to it. So, this sort of squiggly line on the edges of the uh which is actually the west and the north is an evergreen buffer. And you'll see that in some of these concepts to try to keep some of the the noises and the the play uh some of that sound away from those folks. And then um obviously sight lines are important. You don't necessarily want people looking directly into your backyard from the park. And so they did a good job of trying to create a buffer so that that doesn't happen. They also uh designed the amenities so that there's no you'll notice that yellow line there is an elevated walkway. There's no spot where that elevated walkway is looking into someone's yard. They were very thoughtful about where they put these amenities. And so this is the overall master plan and we'll we'll uh dive into some drawings a little bit deeper than this. Um but you'll see that flow. So, starting on the the right side of the screen going to the left, you can see where it sort of tells that story of of water flowing through this space. Um, and then there's active uh there's an active lawn. Uh there's interactive water feature and then some play elements sort of in the middle of the the park. And then as you go to the south, that's where the more passive recreation spaces are. And this is sort of a reminder of of what that space looks like. It's a blank slate for us currently. Um, and so like I said, our design team did a pretty good job, a pretty great job of reimagining this space. Uh, making it more than, like I said, just a a playground replacement and some new benches. So, there's the bird's eye view. Um, and this is so our walk through here is going to be going from

south to north. So, we're we're entering the park in the passive area. Uh, this is rain gardens, native gardens. Um, and then you don't see it, but off to the left they've got additional seating areas uh for folks. And then this is the the south entrance to the elevated walkway. Um, again, you can't do a whole lot on a 1acre property and so sometimes you got to go up to increase those recreational opportunities. So, in keeping with the trail capital of Texas idea, u they took that and ran with it and made an elevated walkway that that will go right next to the water tower you'll see here. And there's some additional seating areas along that walkway. Um, but they also made the water tower a space to rest and relax and and sort of enjoy uh community. One highlight too, and this is just a concept, so keep that in mind that things as we go into design can change and uh we can make other decisions. But they did add they didn't reimagine the water tower, but they did add an art element uh to towards the base of the water tower. Um, this one is something that they've done in other parks. I it's glass or it's something that can be outdoors. It's not going to break and shatter everywhere, but it's this colored glass that when the sun shines on it at a different part of the day, it will it will create colors on the ground um that change uh as the sun moves. And so, in thinking through that, it's a it's a great way to incorporate art into the water tower without changing what the water tower looks like when you're driving down PCON or driving down Second. Um and it, you know, it doesn't take away from the nostalgia that people feel. um with that water tower. Moving on to the observation deck. So they uh they took an idea directly from Peace Park, which is that globe with the net. Um anytime that we were there, we visited it twice during this process. I've been there several times. It's a great amenity for teens. Uh one thing I noticed is that it's it's tough to engage teens in a in a park

project and it's something that is always asked of us and it's not easy to do. Um, so we incorporated one of those play nets um into this space, not just for teens, you know, it's again it's got multigenerational purposes, but we wanted a space where um people can hang out, relax, and have fun. Um, and that's a really good one to u incorporate multigenerational play. Underneath the observation deck, there is a lot of the um play elements. So, this is where we'll have some sort of playground uh amenities. Uh but you also have seating. So, these there's these swings, these loop swings that are good for adults, for kids. Um and then you also have a lot of things that are engaging for families with young kids. This is what it looks like at night and we'll talk about that a little bit shortly. Moving on to the north side of the park, this is the pavilion. So, the hope in a in a park that's um right in the middle of one of our oldest neighborhoods is that this would be a space for birthday parties. This would be a space for reunions. Um might even be a space for community gathering, just for that neighborhood to get together. Um and the idea would be that the city would be able to reserve that. Um but it would be used for anybody if it's not reserved, just like any of our pavilions in in our park system. Coming out of the pavilion there, you'll see the interactive water feature sort of at the base of the elevated walkway. It's not the typical splash pad you would think of that's got, you know, things dumping on kids and all that stuff. It's it's more passive. Kids can still play in it. They'll still have a a good time. It's a recirculating system, but it'll also uh be a good, you know, relaxation amenity year round. So, if you're not able to play in that space

because it's fall or winter time, um it sort of again tells the story of water through um through our community. And then we've got an active play lawn um right right beside it. And then here's what it looks like at night. So, this was a big topic of conversation with our design team because the proximity to adjacent houses and houses across the street with all these amenities, you absolutely want it to be lit. You want it to be well lit so that it's safe. You know what's going on underneath the observation deck and the elevated walkway, but you don't want it to be too lit because then you got lights shining into folks houses. You don't want this to be look like a soccer field, you know, on a week night. Um, so they did a great job of incorporating some low trail lights. There's some down lights underneath the observation deck. So again, it still provides that sense of safety without lighting up the neighborhood. There's a street view sort of from that same angle. And then there's the bird's eye view. Um and so one again a topic of conversation was parking. And so the idea here is to provide a road diet for second uh second street. Uh so currently it's a 29 foot uh street. So this would reduce that to 22 feet which is more than enough room for uh two-way traffic. But instead of taking parking into the park and losing acreage, uh they took that parking out into the roadway. So you'll see there's some of these islands with trees and some some landscaping that that create a parallel parking space and then it takes that out of the uh drive drive lane. Um, and so it adds about 20 parking spaces u without losing any of the acreage within the parking uh within the park itself. And in keeping with that, um, we want to make sure that this this park is

connected to the community around it, uh, which it currently isn't. There's no sidewalks going to or from it. Um, so the design team worked on some potential uh connectivity solutions which are uh a sidewalk going up Second Street which would connect this to historic downtown and and you know thus downtown east in the future. And then there's an existing alleyway that's that's cityowned um that goes east west. So potentially using that to connect the park to the existing trail system on the east. And then there are existing sidewalks south of the park. So utilizing uh again more sidewalks to connect to those spaces. We went through that pretty quickly. Any questions that you have? So the um it was called the interactive water feature. You mentioned that was more passive. But what's the the vision of that? Is that it would just be mostly running water or is it still kind of like dynamic in the way that like water's coming up flowing down? Sorry if I'm making anyone crazy here. I'm a frequent um splash pad splash pad user. So the inspiration for that was taken from this is also Peace Park. This splash pad at Peace Park. Oh. Oh, it looks like you um and so again it's it's interactive. It's got the the splashes coming up, but it's nothing over over top. Um, so sometimes that's running off off season and it's just a water feature. Um, so it's still interactive. It'll still be fun for families. Uh, but it's less obtrusive, I guess. It doesn't have things that are sort of in the way when it's not working, it's not on. Okay. Yeah. Whenever you mentioned passive, I thought maybe it was more of just like lower to the ground. And I I think for a

splash pad to be really well used, you kind of have to have that, you know, shooting water effect. Absolutely. Yeah, that's exactly what they they took from East Park. Great. Cool. And then for the rain garden areas, um the is the idea is that that would be kind of like no access true like pollinator Absolutely. Yeah. And and what we're going through and we'll go through this process in the design phase. We went back and forth with having this be sort of a discovery educational experience where you're kind of learning these things on your own and maybe we have something online that teaches you about what's out there without signage. So you can overdo it with signage sometimes. But we also have discussed having interpretive signage that discusses what plants are out there, why it's important to have pollinator areas. Um, so that wasn't that that final determination didn't come through this master plan process, but through design, we'll be looking at how we tell that story. Cool. And actually related to signage, I'm assuming you all would have like signage related to the water tower and the history of the area and all that jazz. Yeah, absolutely. And going back to that same topic, we we're discussing um whether to do that for the story about, you know, access of water and then um conveying it down south to the park. Um so, one way or another, we'll have some stories and educational components to this. We'll try to get information to folks, whether that's a QR code and they they get online and try to find as much information as they can, or we put interpretive signage out there to tell that story. Um either way, that story will be told. We just haven't gotten to the point where we have decided the best path for it. Cool. Well, that's all the questions I had and I I just want to say thank you. I mean, this is a really, really, really exciting park. Um, I see

this and I can imagine me taking my kid out here or even my nieces and nephew that are a little bit older. And I think that um it could be a place that a lot of different people would enjoy for very different reasons. And it's cool that it's able to be longer than was originally anticipated, you know. Um, when we were first talking about it, it seemed like it was going to be kind of a smaller area and I I couldn't really see the vision of it being like truly interactive and and having a lot of different things that could engage folks, but but having the ability of it being longer um is is pretty exciting. So, thank you. Great. Even as parks folks, we had trouble seeing the vision sometimes. That's why you bring people like TBG and BRS in to help you with that. Yeah. Super cool. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. I think this is great. I was really excited to see the final um the final renderings here. And I I I think I'll echo what you were saying as well. I think it's a really nice connection between the historic Flugerville and and kind of the Flugerville that we're becoming um in the future. And I think it's a really nice way to honor the water tower um which a lot of towns have in a way that I think is going to be very active for folks um and not just you know unlike our neighbors to the north that just have a ton of lights on theirs. We have pretty cool multicolored lights now. Um but I think this will be really great to allow folks to uh to congregate. Also really like the blend of the passive and active um to touch on the multigenerational pieces of it. Um, I think, you know, a lot of times shade is obviously number one, um, in all of our parks, but seating opportunities and time for relaxation, I think, is is really important. And I think this is a a great blend. Um, one of the things I was really surprised about was I don't know if any of the public engagements I've been involved in really had like no negativity of the neighbors uh, immediately by. And I think there's maybe one negative comment. Um, and in all of the feedback and in some of the conversations I had with folks in the neighborhood while you all were doing the overarching engagement, they were

really excited about the opportunity to have this space and to have it not be, you know, quote unquote just another playground um or pocket park. Um, so I think it's really great that we're um, you know, sort of helping to bring that to life. um including uh their support of closing off uh the road as well which you know we would we would want to be very sensitive to that and um it seemed like there was overwhelming support for hey we'd rather have a contiguous uh park at area here. Yeah. Cool. So yeah, thank you all for for the fantastic work on this. Yeah, great job. Absolutely. Cool. All right, there's nothing else. We'll uh consider a motion to approve. I like to approve. Second. All right. Okay. All in favor? I I I. Any opposed? Seeing none, motion passes. Thank you very much. All right. Item 4B. Uh discuss and consider an application to amend the North Point planned unit development as approved uh previously to adjust the greenway on the east side of the development for an approximately 120 acres. And Kristen, you're up for this presentation. Righty. Good evening, chair and commission. Um, so tonight we have a proposed amendment to the North Point PUD. Uh, the North Point Pud was originally approved in 2019. as an urban development with a variety of commercial and residential uses. The east side of the PUD is currently moving forward with development and as part of this development has um brought forth a minor amendment to move the portion of Greenway in the middle of the eastern campus to a more publicly accessible location within the PUD. Um the greenway is meant to be a public amenity to the residential and commercial office that is located on this portion of the pud. Um it should be publicly accessible. Um with the current development and the way

it is moving forward, the greenway in the middle of the property posed a um obstacle to being publicly accessible. And so they have proposed to move forward with a minor amendment to move this greenway from the middle of the pud as shown in the original concept plan um to the north point portion of the property um as shown in the amended concept plan. As part of this amendment, they have also proposed a um a provision that the greenway should be at least one acre in order for it to count towards parkland. If it doesn't meet that one acre requirement, then they would be uh dedicating a parkland or fianl and public um and parkland dedication and development per the pud and per uh sub chapter 14 of the unified development code. Um along with this amendment, they are also proposing an update to the private street network. As you can see, um it doesn't reduce the connectivity in this area. It simply takes it off of the conceptual plan. Um, current plans are providing for these connections throughout the private development. Um, it does not move any of the public streets as shown in the dark gray um identified as Colorado Sands or Gerald Dean um and meets all of the requirements to be a minor amendment. Um, staff recommends approval of the minor amendment. I do have the applicant here tonight to present as well if they would like um or to answer questions. Great. Thank you. Good evening, commissioners. Michelle Lynch with Metaf Wolf Stewart and

Williams here on behalf of the application. I think staff did a great job explaining. Um, I do have other information to provide if you need it. Um, we're just happy to answer questions and appreciate your support. Cool. I had uh just one quick question on the red lines. I suspect it's just the way the red line was formatted, but the it appears that the amendment to mark the greenway being at least one acre, which I understand also had the uh a portion that said memory care will not contribute to the required commercial uses. And I assume that is not actually changing in this case, right? That's just a correct. part of the second amendment to this PUD. Um, and is already a current approved amendment. Okay. Just want to make sure that wasn't changing. Okay, sounds good. Is the total acreage uh the same? Yes, they will still be required to provide um at least 3.2 acres of greenway on the eastern portion of the pud. Okay. Okay. So it takes So it looks like the lower what is it the south the southern corner has increased in acreage and then the piece that's going away or being moved is has it shrunk considerably. So there isn't within the pud there isn't a specific acre tide to either one of these locations. I can say that the bottom half is currently being developed as a detention pond for storm water runoff from the extension of Colorado Sands and future development. Um it is about 2 acres at the moment. Um which would leave the northern half approximately 1.2 acres. Okay. So initially acc according to the current image I was just guessing the detention pond was probably an acre acre and a half. Was that right?

And now and so then some of that land has been expanded. So a larger detention pond and then the publicly accessible part is just less but but on the north. Is that is that what I'm reading? That is currently how it is developed. The detention pond to the south also is going to have um passive recreation such as a trail um around it as well as enhanced landscaping as part of that plan set. Um so it's not just a detention pond on the south side, but it won't count towards their parkland. Okay. Oh, okay. Thank you. Cool. Uh, I had one other question about, uh, Geraldine Drive, which is the connectivity between 685 and 130. Yes. Um, I know that cuts through the greenway. Are there any specifications in the pud on how that will be addressed? Um, so considering what you just said around there will be some passive and maybe some active um, in the greenway, just wanted to see. So this amendment is strictly for the greenway located on the eastern portion of the pud. Okay. The western portion is not being Yeah. Um amended at this time. That portion is still going to be a public amenities. Um will have trail and and those sort of things located in it. Gotcha. Okay. So it's not changed. Okay. I think that was all my questions. Anybody else? All right. If there's nothing else, I'll request a motion. Motion to approve. Second. All right. All in favor? I. Any opposed? All right. Hearing none, motion passes. Thank you very much. All right. Moving on to items five in

our Oh, I'm sorry. We have one more in six. Uh, so we have a discuss and consider approval of the 2025 CDBG action plan. All righty. Uh good evening chair and commission. So tonight we bring forward the uh plan year 2025 annual action plan for the CDBG grant. Um as an overview of the program the it is a federal grant administered by HUD or the um to entitlement communities to help benefit the low and moderate income um individuals within that uh community. So, as part of selecting projects, each project must meet one of the three national um objectives. Benefit a low to moderate income individual, prevent or eliminate a blight or address an urban an urgent need within the development um within the community. So, um every 5 years the uh city goes through a consolidated annual action plan. Last year the consolidated annual action plan was updated and as part of that um priorities and needs were identified. Each year the plan seeks to address the high um priority needs um from the consolidated action plan. Um so as part of the 2025 action plan we have infrastructure projects, programs and administration. Um so this year um the majority of the grant will be going towards the completion of Parkway Drive that will go under construction within the uh fiscal year 26. Um there's approximately $10,000 for the youth and senior scholarships with the remaining going towards administration.

And so tonight um the next steps for this after um the meeting here tonight will be to go to city council for approval and then staff will be submitting this ahead of the August deadline um for approval. I just have one question. Sorry. No. Um, do you see any changes happening with what's happening in the government right now? Unlike changing any of our HUD dollars, like it being reduced, I guess I should say. So, we actually received more money this year um versus prior year, about $20,000 more. Um, the total this year is going to be $347,221, which is an increase over last year's. Um but staff is being mindful that that could change. Okay. Yeah. Um and the construction of Parkway Drive is included within the 5-year CIP to be covered um by that for construction as well so that we can finish out this project if something happens. Okay, that's good. Okay, that's my question. Yeah, I'm I'm really happy with with the plan um and the projects. And I think, you know, after a few years too of uh of trying to get the workforce solutions partnership going and more active and a couple of the other ideas that we struggle to get public engagement on, um I think this is really great that we're trying a more focused approach on a couple of things that we're pretty confident in. Um I think that's that's a really good good direction and and always love to see our uh neighborhood rejuvenation work. uh with these capital projects of the roads uh similar to what we did this year. Um one of the things I noticed in the report uh that I wanted to ask briefly about was um one of the two comments I saw from our engagement with the county was around uh food insecurity. And I don't believe we've

ever attempted any programs related to that. And it stuck out to me because I know we've had a lot of conversations about housing affordability and we rely on the county obviously to support that as well as the homelessness um population. Um but I was curious about um whether something ended up below the lines or if we've considered food insecurity as part of this project because I know that's a pretty substantial portion of um uh one of the pillars that HUD supports. Yes. So, um, city staff has, uh, looked into that as part of using this towards our, um, as one of the projects. The issue, um, currently is the city does not have something that just supports city residents. Um, Travis County supports Travis County as a whole. Um, and we cannot ask them to only support city of Flugerville residents at this time. Um, city staff has looked into other projects to help support that need. Um, so it is something that we are currently looking into and working on. Um, we have not found a project that we can fund at the at this moment. Um, but we we are currently looking into it. Sure. Thanks. Yeah, I think there's a there's a continues to be a growing need for that type of support. So, I think we can probably put our heads together and come up with something creative there. Um, one other thing that I noticed in there, and again, very happy with the plan, fully supportive of what we have. Um, but the other thing I noticed was that um, we had called out that I believe there's like 226 um, still homes built in the era of lead paint. And I was wondering if um, I'm unaware of us previously having a program necessarily to reach out to those homeowners and help connect them to remediation resources, but I'm curious if whether or not you know that that's been attempted and was successful or not and or if that's something we should be looking at now. Um to my knowledge, the city has not moved forward with a program like that. Um Travis County does have

resources to help with that. Um and should that become an issue, city staff has directed them to to Travis County. Okay. Do we know what those residents are so that we could take a proactive approach? We do not unfortunately. They're going to be some of our older homes in our older block groups. Um but we don't know off the top um off hand exactly which homes those are. Got it. Okay. And then do we anticipate any changes to the blocks in this plan year or were there any changes? So we are anticipating changes as based on the census. Um our we have two block groups currently um in the city. One is towards the west of town um the Edgemir Windir Parkway Drive area and then we also have one in east portion of town um the Gatlinburgg subdivision. We anticipate losing all or most of that one because of development along Welds Branch, specifically the Liso subdivision that has brought in newer homes and has bumped that up. Yeah. Gotcha. Okay. Thank you. I think that was everything I had. That's a great This is great. Yes, absolutely. I Yeah, I think you're doing a a great job of doing a lot with a little. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Cool. All right. If there's nothing else, I'll entertain a motion. Motion to approve. Second. All right. All those in favor? I. Any opposed? Hearing? None. Motion passes. Thank you very much. All right. Now, we'll go into our public hearings. We have two three this evening. Uh first up is 5A to receive public comment and consider an application for a specific use permit for proposed use of office warehouse within the urban CL4 uh at 19241 Wily Lane. And Michael, you're up for this one. Right. Good evening everyone. Uh tonight's specific use permit is for the Workhub Flugerville. Uh the property

we're looking at tonight is requesting to have an office warehouse use within the CL4 zoning. Uh the property is located on the south side of Wilky Lane. Uh we're just to the east of the Victory City Church and we have the adjacent subdivision of Highland Park uh north directly to the south of us. The subject property is located at the southwest intersection of Wilky Lane and Hunting Tower Castle Boulevard. The site is 5.8 acres in size and is currently vacant. The property has the corridor zoning district urban CL4. Uh this district is intended to create vibrant and walkable neighborhoods and employment centers uh and mixeduse commercial and innovative centers. As you can see, uh the adjacent properties to both the east and the west both share the CL4 zoning district. And then we have the single family suburban to the south. U again the applicant is requesting the site for office warehouse and in this zoning district that requires a SUP. An office warehouse is generally considered to be a structure um devoted to storage, warehousing and distribution of goods, supplies and equipment and that could also include retail and office components as well. The applicant is proposing to construct two structures that will be an estimated 71,000 uh square feet in size. This will include 28 offices and warehouse suites and then 49 co- warehouse units. Uh it's estimated to have around 183 parking spaces. And in addition to this, it is a UDC requirement that when CL4 zoning is directly adjacent to single family uh residential, there has to be a 50 foot uh vegetative buffer yard. And this will assist in limiting the impact on that adjacent neighborhood. Uh, additionally, being that this project is part of the corridor district, the UDC has additional requirements that include uh, complete submitt orienting structures

towards public rightway uh, design compatibility, not having any historical or architectural negative impacts on the area. And in viewing this, it was staff's determination that the proposed use and layout for the office warehouse uh meets that UDC and all uh applicable UC requirements pertaining to design or architecture, those will all be enforced at the time of site development plan for us. Oops. So staff finds that the request for the uh office warehouse use complies with the approval criteria for an SUP. Uh staff recommends approval of this SUP with the following conditions. Uh the height I know it's a little bit smaller there, but a height limitation of 30 ft requires that the two buildings be oriented as they are shown on the concept plan, that these structures uh provide for multiple tenants, that there is no outside storage, and there is no uh 18-wheeler parking. Uh these conditions will help ensure that the end result product that the uh the applicant will be sharing with you here shortly um that design meets that intent. Uh this was noticed in the newspaper. Signs were posted and letters went out. As right now I have only received one phone call and that wasn't for or against. That was just a general, you know, I received a letter what is meaning and just an explanation that someone is interested in bringing in an office warehouse. Um the applicant is here and they have a presentation they would like to share with you and staff is here to answer any questions you may have. Great. Thank you. Yes, sir. just push that. Thank you. Thank you everyone. Uh thank you commissioners. Thank you for having us here to explain what workup is. So I'll before going into each and every page of it and boring you. I would just start with a small pitch for my company. My company is called workup developments. So this company is a formation of two immigrants who had the American dream come true. So

they found a problem, they found a solution and here I am standing in front of you now expanding from Houston all the way to Austin. And what brought us to Austin? It's the demographics in Austin, especially the city of Flugable. So we are very much a datadriven company. And what we do is we analyze data to see where is the next best space for work to be because we want these business online entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs who come to us to be successful. So how do we do it? We look at the demographics of the average household income, the population growth rate, the purchasing power or buying capacity for these um communities around it. And based on that uh we have an uh proprietary software that we have access to in regards with our collaboration joint venture with Davidson Kempner. It's a private equity uh investor based in New York. So they have $36 billion investments all around the globe and they gave us access to it and that software helps us to identify the best place to work up because not only we want to succeed we also want all the entrepreneurs that who come to our business box to succeed and one uh good thing about workh is we don't just build spaces to lease out we build a community there. So how we do that? We engage on a monthly basis. We have a meeting of all the tenants. We bring in lenders. We bring in uh speakers uh to help them in marketing whatever the case may be. And we build a community uh in there which can help themselves to grow and uh be the best business out there. And one interesting stats that we found during a research is that flu the city of Flugable has the highest number of patent applications in the country. And so we want to uh build this incubator space for this online entrepreneurs who are out of their homes like Apple and Google who wants to come out of their house but not go into a 10,000t warehouse space but or an office/flex space but they want something small that

is budget friendly and we make sure that we can build that premium business part that would help them achieve that goal and our goal is to create the new Apple and Googles from the city of Louisville. So now I will start with the presentation that we have prepared. So on the index we will go through the location the project introduction site plan specifics and everything that you want to know about the project. So this was already uh very well explained by Michael about the location of the project. So again, I'm not going to read the whole thing. Uh but uh this tells you what workup is and what workup envisions for Flugable for the city of Flugable the site plan. So there's one small change uh with that is in the presentation that Michael said uh he has included 49 uh core warehousing units. So that is a new business concept called flex space uh where uh small uh like you know spaces for like 300 foot 400t for these online entrepreneurs and businesses who wants to starts again in the smaller range but we won't be having that in our final plan but we are still going through it. Uh but we will be having approximate 2,000 foot spaces for businesses that could be as mentioned in the CL4 listing. It could be retail, wholesale, sales. Uh because we uh one of the uh one of our tenants in Houston that we take pride in in housing is called Flex Works. F LUX Flexworks. So they won a contract from NASA for when they invented a magnetic gear system that NASA can use in uh the moon rover uh on the mission to the moon. So that's one of the So we want businesses like that who is not like you know who is out of their garages. They're innovators. They want to create new things in the market, be successful and we want to be part of that like help them grow that. So this is will be more or less the plan. Uh instead of having that

office flex warehouses 49 co-arousing units to the left of building one, we will have regular suites. Uh and uh one thing again we uh pay attention to with workhubitation around it. uh the look and feel of the buildings, the landscaping. We want to make sure that anybody who walks into it gets that premium feel because uh we always make sure our business parks looks the best so that our competition competitors doesn't even fight a chance. So this is it 36 units uh 71,527 ft. Approximate uh average sweet is 1,89 uh 5.84 84 acres. Uh vehicle parking uh it has gone up to 212 at this point. Uh that will exceed uh the city's limitation uh needs for parking. And the green area as you can see we have 28.5% green area and the payment area is 43.65% and the building area is just 28.1%. So this talks a little bit more about the the buildings and the floor plans. uh as you can see diminishing walls, demising walls, insulated glass storefronts and windows, uh polished floor and communal areas, high ceilings. So that is another thing that we take pride is that we build the most energy efficient wear like units that you can find out there. Uh so how do we do it? We make sure that we uh like harness a lot of sunlight into uh these uh units so that uh it is not doesn't have a higher electrical bill and also we use state-of-the-art uh LED lighting which is again uh our goal is to create lighting that doesn't pollute the area but to make sure that it is shaped in a certain way so it lights the ground but not uh anything around like you know to a certain height and we are ADA and fire

compliance fully designed to meet the uh safety regulations. This is again a breakdown of the suite sizes, look and feel. As I said, uh we work with each and every city that uh like you know we have been to and we try to uh incorporate what the city wants us to do. Make the pre as I said we want a premium business park. We doesn't want uh something that looks uh sketchy for an area. We want the neighbors and everyone. We want to be friends with everyone. And uh the the small thing is that now the victory city church they need for parking and we are collaborating with them in providing parking for them at the same time. So we always want to make sure that uh we have good neighbors. We take care of our neighbors. Uh we address their needs and uh we make sure that uh you know they're happy that we are there. This is just a render the look and feel. Uh this is one of renderings of our business parks uh down in Houston and also uh in Denver, Colorado. This is another look like the inside view. Uh it could be like this. It could be again it's based on the end user. They could have uh like we have in one of our business parts we have a gym. Uh so it could be a gym. Uh it could be a dance floor. We have a dance floor or it could be uh for a business owner that is ready this online entrepreneurs. uh in the state of Texas uh we found that the market is like $2.59 billion for online entrepreneurs. So we are there to address that market that they have the right space to grow their businesses look and feel. Uh this is an estimated uh economic impact report that what worker will be bringing into the city of Flugable in sales value and uh in investment wise creating jobs and everything. Um, and that's it. Uh, may please ask if you have any questions. Great. Uh, before we get into that, uh, is there

anyone from the public wishing to speak in the public hearing portion of this? Yes, right here. Okay, you can come up. My name is Victor M. Could you come up to the mic, please? Thank you. Yes. Um, good afternoon. Uh, my name is Victor M. I live right behind um where they supposed to make this building. I'd like to know how is that going to impact our community, our streets. Why I keep getting those letters? Are they going to do something different? Yeah. Are you going to make any um is it going to affect our streets? Are you going to have more traffic to it? Yeah. Yeah. Sorry if you're not on the microphone, but yeah, if you want to go ahead and finish asking your question asking if if there's going to create more traffic to our street. I mean, before they make the apartments, there was no traffic to Abig. Uh, okay. Now there's traffic. That's And you guys should go and see how people from those apartments are driving to our streets. Now, they're going to make this. Is it going to cause more traffic? Is it going to be uh big trucks coming to our streets in and out? Okay. All right. Thank you. All right. All right. Was there anyone else wishing to speak in the public hearing? All right. I'll entertain a motion to close the public hearing. So move. All right. All in favor? I I any opposed? No. Okay. Uh public hearing is closed on that item. Um actually and I don't know if the applicant wants to address the citizen concern around traffic ingress and egress if you'd like to. Yes. Thanks. Yeah. Absolutely. So on the traffic part of it, we always uh like you know go with text dot if they require us to like based on the exits that we uh like you know uh come in the conceptual sides we plan to have exits and uh so we work

with text to see the traffic analysis on that area and based on our experience with uh our business parks and the scale of this business park that we have as compared to other business parks in Houston I could very much certify that we don't create uh that big of a traffic volume that would affect the Huntington Boulevard road. It'll be more of the traffic that might be moving towards the wil lane which is the freeway exit uh instead of going through the Huntington Boulevard. So that Huntington Boulevard is mainly there to help the neighbors because we expect to find business owners who is in that neighborhood right behind us to uh have a business part like have the office suits there. So that is one of the reasons we have it there. So it is easily accessible for them and we uh we have never had any issues uh in all of our business parks down in Houston where parking has become an issue. Thank you. And I did want to um also take the opportunity since you're uh still up there to ask about um the situation with trucks. I know I I'm always cautious when we add um uh you know contingencies to these approvals. Um, and I know specifically we're looking to avoid having, you know, 18 wheelers um, parked there. Um, which is pretty common for uh, for us to restrict that in some of these spaces. Uh, I couldn't tell from your designs whether these buildings do include loading docks, what type of truck and large vehicle traffic you anticipate those sorts of things. So, in case of trucks, what we anticipate is UPS or Amazon or trucks like that. Nothing in the size of an 18-wheeler. uh but if if there is a case where the one of the business owners have a bigger truck coming in to unload a stuff I cannot speak that I cannot guarantee say that you know no 18 wheeler will ever enter the business part but I can uh pretty much based on experience we could we see more of Amazon trucks and UPS trucks coming in taking shipping or bringing uh like you know shipping uh stuff out of there for instance uh we have a a leather boutique

in front of business park so always like you know these trucks come in from Amazon, they do online sales, they come pick it up from there. So nothing big of like 18 wheelers usually come to a business parks. Uh so that shouldn't be an issue. Okay. Yeah. And and I would say it it doesn't look like there's a whole lot of space for that. Uh certainly not not room for a turnaround or anything like that. Um especially So okay, thank you for that. Any other comments, questions? I mean I assume they did like a traffic impact analysis because this is on or it was not required by text dot. So at this point of conceptional uh we don't have to do it but we are like you know ready to work with text dot to do that analysis. Okay. So the only the only issue that I imagine is about uh the no outside storage. Um, you know, I've been a tenant and a property manager for products like this. And I mean, even in the businesses that I was in, every now and then there'd be an 18 roll up and they go, "Hey, we we're about to drop off whatever. Where do you want to put this?" And you go, "Uh, I'm not ready for it." And so, you know, with a my hesitation would be around, you know, writing a a special designation and then telling uh whatever 28 30 people, hey, you can't ever have any outside storage. Sure. Most of the time, small businesses, you know, in my experience, struggle with storage, right? Where do I put stuff? Because I've only got 2500 feet or 2,000 square feet and I've already maxed out what I got because I'm stacking it in. And then I got more stuff that comes in. And so I think that that strikes me as a a pretty difficult thing to ask for for tenants, especially that many of them, you know, and obviously you're you're hoping that they all get along and you know, you might have tenants that take multiple spaces. So that can consolidate some of that. But I think that that presents a challenge. Um and then there was one

other thing, but I don't recall exactly what it is, so I'll remember it later. Anyway, yes. Yeah. If I could just on your outdoor storage, this a big comment and recommendation from staff to preclude outdoor storage primarily because of the location. So if you're thinking about it's on 45, we don't we don't want to see those things outside. And so while they might have the need for a quick drop off and they might drop them behind the building or something like that, they need to be moved inside. It it's not in an industrial area where you have more um outdoor storage and things like that. We're also looking at the view corridor coming into Flugerville. This is one of the yeah the gateways and interest on on 45. And so I would just note that I would take that into consideration when thinking about not just the end user but also kind of the the view and use of the property if considering well allowing outdoor storage. Yeah. I mean, I think the workaround for most of the end users, most of the tenants will be um those pods that they say are going to be temporary and then they're stuck there for I think this is what we're talking about. It it is considered outside storage, but what is your contingency? Like what is that game plan? Because if they keep it there longer than two days, is that a fine? What is the So for us, how we mitigate issues like this is like you know we have a property manager who's there like you know from Monday to Fridays and you'll be available on call on Saturdays and Sundays if there is uh like you know a tenant needs he's out of town and he needs something to be shipped into his office something is coming in needs to receive it we have a property manager who takes care of that and how do we mitigate it as you specifically said we do put a limit we tell them that we cannot have any of your items sit outside for more than 2 days otherwise our management we'll remove it and trash it. So that's how we mitigate it. And if there is a tenant who's telling us I am out of town, I'll be not there for 4 days or 5 days the

case may be. Then what we do is we make sure that we uh put them in a place which is a common area. So that it is out of like the business part again we want to create a space that is premium. We don't want our business parks to look bad. Uh we want to be successful and along with us being successful, we want others to help them in problems like this. So that's how we mitigate those issues. Uh Michael, would you mind pulling up the slide with the uh recommendation, please, just so we can look at that wording one last time? Thank you. Thank you. So height limitation of 30 ft. They've covered that. That is their plan. Two buildings to be oriented. That absolutely makes sense from our perspective. multiple tenant spaces, no outside storage, and no 18 parking. Any other thoughts? No, I mean, I think the only issue again, um, thinking about the neighbors is since there's not been an impact done yet and we don't know the traffic, I mean, I'm not sure I'm going to say yes tonight. Okay. Because I would like to know because if I live, I don't live there, but I mean, if I did live there, I'd want to know. Sure. I mean, this is for for right now. this is for a specific use that's going to that area. It's usually at the time of platting or site development that we that we're going to require our traffic impact analysis. And if that's over 2,000 trips that may create additional lanage or um you know different end points and what we're looking at here those uh you know those driveway openings those are subject to shift based on where engineering feels that is most appropriate to. So it's uh it is somewhat of a concept there. Um but the traffic impact analysis will be analyzed at the time of platting and site development plan and then they come back again or no to ask us. Um no if you approve tonight they would be free to move forward with platting and site development plan. Okay. I think this is a little bit unique because it's a pud and a zoning

case where they're updating it. And so I think um for the SU uh whereas traditionally for an SCP we wouldn't necessarily have full concepts drawn out and correct everything. I mean, no, it's a it's a great concept, but I don't know. Okay. Okay. Uh, if there's no other questions or comments, I'll entertain a motion. Motion to approve with conditions as outlined by the city staff. Second. Okay. All in favor? I I No. Any opposed? One opposed. All right. Motion passes. Thank you very much. Thank you. All right, up next we have 5B uh to receive public comment and consider an application to reszone approximately 50.455 455 acres from agricultural development reserve to single family residential and this [Music] is don't see the address for this. Sorry chair and commission. So this is for a property the the project is called Cameron Valley Reszoning. Um this is for piece of property that's outlined in that gold star on on your image there. And so I I kind of blew it out so that you get a a better perspective of where this this property is in in relation to the city limits. Um this was recently the u annexed into the city. It's the most recent annexation area. It's east of the of Lake Flugerville, east of Sarrento and Carmel. Um adjacent to Cameron Road is just to the west and Stagger Lane is along the north and along the east sides there. This is approximately a 75 acre tract of land. As I mentioned, it was recently annexed into the city limits. Um the

property that you see over in the southwest corner that's under construction right now that is known as the Metoark Preserve um neighborhood that was zoned as a plan unit development. Uh came through the process and they're creating those single family homes. Uh just at the northwest corner is a piece of property that's owned by the the school district. All the rest of the land that's surrounding that area is um currently in our ETJ and and has home sites on it or is of agricultural use. Directly to the south is a church property there along with the cemetery. Um so a little bit of history on this. The property owner back in 2008 went through a non-anexation um agreement with the city of Flugerville. What that basically meant was that they would continue their agricultural uses um provided that they didn't pursue any kind of development, the city wouldn't pursue any kind of annexation. But within that agreement also said that if they decided to make a change to it and wanted to develop the property, then that was essentially their petition for annexation. Um they had they have decided to move forward with something different. They went through that process and it became annexed into the city uh just in March of this year. During that um following annexation, it reserve uh received the uh development reserve agricultural zoning classification. It's been like that since. So the proposed request is to look at this property, break it up um through four different zoning districts, and we'll talk about each one of these different pieces, but essentially trying to create a new neighborhood out on the east side of Camry Road there. The largest portion of the property is proposed to be zoned for the single family residential area that encompass approximately 50 and a half acres of land. Um single family mixed use is proposed down in the southeast corner of the of the tracks. It's approximately 9 acre piece of property. Um general

business one is approximately 3 and 1/2 acre piece of property at the southwest corner. And then going from the northwest to the southeast kind ofish direction is the parks facilities and open space which is approximately 12 acres and encompass um existing uh drainage areas that go through there. Um we'll run through the zoning districts real quick. As you'll recall single family um residential zoning district is one of those that we use for master planning. It allows for a variety of lot sizes and actually um has development conditions associated with it when uh based on lot sizes. So for um 50 acres or more um that's one of those situations where they're allowed to have 50 foot wide single family lots. um they will have a a requirement of um at least 25% of the lots will need to be 7500 ft² in area and at least 10% are required to be at 9,000 square ft. Um single family mixed use zoning district, you'll recall we've gone through that zoning um recently for other cases, but that allows for uh diversity of housing types. Typically it's on smaller acreage, roughly 20 acres is is typical. um allows for single family attached as well as detached. And then when certain conditions are met, we can look at non-residential development that's consistent with the neighborhood. Parks, facilities, and open space is our our classification that we would apply towards um areas that we would look for park. And then general business one district is our general commercial zoning district that we um typically have along roads like 685 as an example where you have the regular kind of commercial that could support a neighborhood but also support regional trade. Um this is within in the comprehensive plan we have different subdists as you recall and this is actually in one of

those areas that we haven't touched yet. So this is the southeastern preserves district. Um there's a patchwork of colors that are on there that basically represents a variety of land uses. Looking at residential and a variety of housing types, a variety of residential. Um mixed with commercial as well as some employment. Um lots of open space going through there mostly through the creek systems. Um some of the aspirational goals within this area was to have that diversity of housing looking at a diversity of land types as well as increasing connectivity both through uh vehicular connectivity and through the trail systems and parks and open space. Um one of the other aspects to this area was to um hone in on the agricultural nature of the area. And so, um, trying to densify, um, trying to have more of an intensity on the residential while still, um, maintaining open space and green areas within this portion of that that district. Um, there's four different um, sections or categories, if you will, of the uh, comprehensive plan. The the beigish colors, the traditional neighborhood, that's the area that's proposed to be zoned for the single family residential. Again, it's it's the typical kind of residential type of development that's anticipated there. Maybe a mixture of densities and the opportunity for um some nearby uh retail or office spaces. The mixeduse neighborhood is the area that's in pink there that's highlighted in the light blue. Um that's the area that was proposed for single family mixed use. We envisioned to have a variety of housing types there, a little bit more density there. Also, the opportunity for more commercial um developments that that would accommodate um or that would coincide with the the higher densities as well as the single family um in that area. Mixed use in this context is

envisioned to both be it could be vertical um but it could also be horizontal mixed use. mixeduse commercial is the the area that's over on the left side or on the western end proposed for the general business one district. This is the area that's not um in it it's more anticipated to have higher intensity commercial developments there and if residential was to be included come through as apartments. The GB1 zoning district does allow for um multifamily to be incorporated, but it requires it to be as a vertical mixed use. And last but not least, parks and open space, civic recreation. Um the proposed zoning districts directly align with how the comprehensive plan is proposed. Um this area, it allows for the diversity of housing. Um it allows for the opportunity for mixed use uh mixture of uses being horizontal andor being vertical mixed use. Um staff does recommend approval. City council is looking to consider this item um in later June because we only had two of the the properties generally in that area that are within the city limits or two notifications that went out to those. We did not receive any notice any information from them but um signs were also posted out on the property but we did not receive any calls. I'd be happy to answer any questions. The applicant is here as well but again this is being a zoning case they um I've encouraged them not to talk about necessarily a development plan because that would be through the subdivision process um but instead with looking at the uses. Sure. Thanks Jeremy. Uh, is there since this is a public hearing, is there anyone from the public wishing to speak this evening? Seeing none, I'll entertain a motion to close the public hearing. So move second. All in favor? I. Any opposed? All right, public hearing is

closed. Uh, I have a question. How? So, utility wise, right? It's my understanding that at some point out there in the east, there is another rise that causes us to have a new uh lift station. Is is this over that hill or is it still on the west side of whatever that geographical feature is? So, I will do my best in answering a utility question. Well, obviously my question was perfect. Um, we'll review all of that during the subdivision process, but the short would be that there are some brakes that are in there. Um, there's anticipated to be a force main that will likely go through Cameron Road. There's a lift station that is tied to the U Meark Preserve subdivision, which is in that gray just at the bottom at the bottom part of the picture there. Um there's a lift station at that point that then pumps over to uh the Carmel lift station. Okay. So I guess so I guess there's a neighborhood that's being built essentially across the street. Has that already been tied in to city services? Like is that all already in there or So they're going through the process right now of constructing it. Yeah. There's a lift station as I mentioned that that southern gray extent is where a lift station is that's tied to that metallark preserve development. Okay. This is perhaps another hypothetical pending uh the future plans but um given the alignment of Stagger with Jesse BS is that something we would anticipate potentially trying to correct for? Yes. and and that um I didn't mention that, but yes, as through the subdivision process, we'll have Stagger Lane connecting eastward to Jesse Bulls. That was identified inside of our mobility master plan that we just approved. Um

Stagger Lane would actually be a minor, it's a collector going through there and then the stagger at the at the north end is a major collector and that would have an 80 foot of right away that would also continue east west. So yeah, there will be additional connectivity through there. Great. Yeah, that's a good spot for it. Okay, glad to hear that. Thanks. Apologize. You already covered it. Is the the park space is that pretty much aligned with the flood plane that would be unbuildable anyways? Yes. Okay. And and there may be some buildable spaces in there as they get into subdivision piece. But all right, if there's no further comments, I'll accept a motion. Motion to approve. Second. All right. All in favor? I. Any opposed? Hearing none. Motion passes. Thank you very much. Thank you. All right. Uh, one more item this evening, 5C, which is a public hearing uh to consider approving a replap for uh downtown East West. Yes, I appreciate the attempt at, you know, using DTE instead of saying east west. Um, looks like it was cut out. Sorry, one little technical difficulty. Okay, it looks like it was not it's not in the uh presentation that we have here, but that you have the report and the staff there. I'm not sure how that got cut out. Um, but yes, we are looking at here is the replay for the portion of the downtown east west. I'm sure you're aware of the downtown east project that

we saw the pud for just a short time ago uh is now under construction. That's the new city hall, the new rec center, and a portion of Main Street. Uh that will eventually connect from FM685 to Railroad. Uh the portion of the bridge that goes over the creek. And from where we're looking at here tonight, this final plat going to the west um connecting to Railroad, that will come at a later time at a final plat. What we're looking at here tonight is a five lot uh non-residential replat going from two lots to five where the owners are the city of Flugerville and uh First United Methodist Church and a portion of that will be the 497 ft of uh Main Street. Lots 1A and uh 2A will have access to the East Panon Street and all lots will have the access to Main Street. And as you recall from our pud going through uh that area there, main street will have parallel parking on either sides of the roadway and there will be extended sidewalks on uh either side as well. And I'm apologize for I'm not sure how that got cut short, but uh I can answer any questions that you may have. Uh and so this does take into uh effect the updated uh sort of mobility plan specs for things like the sidewalk versus multi-use path and the 10 foot versus no or not at this not at this stage. Okay. For this we do we do we did anticipate a larger uh system. I believe we're going to have the 12T and then the 8T um separating, but um I don't believe this would be fully up to date with the mobility yet. Got it. Okay. Uh I don't see any members of the public present with us. So I'll take a motion to close the public hearing. Second. All in favor? I. I. Any opposed? No. All right. Public hearing closed. So one question. So based on looking at the

map, it looks like the resoning includes all the property owned by the church like essentially their entire re excuse me. Okay. So So so y'all are just defining the boundaries. Yes. That the what is owned by that church there will be split into two and then the property directly to the west will be split into three and then a portion of that will include cutting through uh from that main street that will give us that connection. Okay. So based on what you're describing, is that the former food court, the food truck uh land? Yes, the gintrect. And who and how and and will this particular change have any positive impact on that particular site? It does. Great. Um so I think maybe to clarify just a little bit. So Main Street was the main reason to kind of that caused this replat. Um, we have an agreement with the church. We'll be transacting the property. The city purchased the north side of Main Street from the church, which is where they currently have some parking. And we will be um we've so we purchased that. We were exchanging property to which is the Gen Tractor, the former food truck court, um to build new parking for the church on the south side of Maine. So, the church's property will all be now south of Main Street. Okay. And so it'll be parking lot, church, property, all south of Maine. Okay. And will that will that paving uh I guess extend all the way to that entryway directly across from the fire department? It will not. Um if you think of El Ring Cone, the vacant tract immediately adjacent to that. And then the Gen property is owned by TechOt known as the Moan Rideway. So that will remain vacant. Okay, that explains that. Great. Thank you question.

So did the do we have to mess with the mo can right away with the main street layout? We do and they they play ball pretty well with that. We have a memorandum of understanding with text dot to cross it with Main Street. Any other comments or questions? Not going to take the bait on that one. That's fair. All right. Uh if there's nothing else, I'll entertain a motion. Motion to approve as written. I'll second. All right. All in favor? I. Any opposed? Hearing none. Motion passes. Thank you very much. And we are adjourned at 8:22. Reminder, no July meeting. No July meeting. All right. Thank you all very much. Have a nice evening. Thank you.
