THE PDS DESIGN STATEMENT INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING DETAILS.
IT ALLOWS A WIDE VARIETY OF COMMERCIAL USES BEYOND THE OFFICE USE THAT IS CURRENTLY ALLOWED.
BUILDINGS WILL BE SET BACK AT LEAST 50 FEET FROM THE NORTH PROPERTY LINE.
A MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT OF 35 FEET WOULD BE ESTABLISHED AND THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES WITHIN THE I 35 CORRIDOR DISTRICT AND WILL COMPLY WITH THOSE LANDSCAPING AND BUILDINGS DESIGNED STANDARDS AT THE TIME OF DEVELOPMENT.
THE EDMOND PLAN CATEGORIZES THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AS I 35.

IN OTHER WORDS, DANFORTH WILL BECOME A FULL INTERCHANGE.

DOES THE APPLICANT WISH TO ADD TO THE PRESENTATION? SURE.
DAVID BOX 5, 2 5 NORTHWEST 11TH STREET HERE ON BEHALF OF, UH, THE DEVELOPER.
SO I WAS INVOLVED WHEN THIS WAS, UH, REZONED INTO THE THE CURRENT PUD.
AND AT THE TIME I DON'T THINK WE HAD THE, THE KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT ODOT WAS GONNA DO.
AFTER WE GOT THE PUD APPROVED, WE, UH, WERE APPROACHED BY ODOT.
ULTIMATELY, WE WERE NOT ABLE TO COME TO TERMS ON A PRICE AND SO THEY FILED A CONDEMNATION, UH, SUIT WHEREBY THEY, UH, ACQUIRED A PIECE OF THE PROPERTY, A PIECE OF THE PROPERTY THEY ACQUIRED, UM, WAS ZONED PART OF O THE OFFICE.
AND I THINK SOME OF THE, PERHAPS MULTIFAMILY AS PART OF THE ORIGINAL PUD.
ONCE WE GOT THE LAWSUIT AND THROUGH THE COURSE OF DISCOVERY, WE REALIZED, UH, KIND OF THE EXTENT OF THE PLAN IN OUR MIND.
IT MADE SENSE WHEN YOU HAVE NOW A FULL INTERCHANGE, A STRAIGHTENED OUT DANFORTH AND A WIDENING OF DANFORTH TO GO FROM OFFICE TO, TO SOMETHING THAT IS MORE INTENSE,
[00:10:01]
UH, AND, AND HOPEFULLY ALLOW FOR SOME COMMERCIAL USES THAT WILL ADD TO THE SALES TAX BASE FOR THE CITY OF EDMOND.UM, THE, THE OFFICE ONLY WE DON'T THINK WOULD BE AS I THINK, BENEFICIAL TO THE CITY.
WE THINK ADDING THE THE COMMERCIAL USES WILL BE IMPORTANT.
WE'VE TRIED OUR BEST TO, TO LIMIT THE USES.
UM, IF THERE ARE CONCERNS, WE'RE HAPPY TO DISCUSS THAT, BUT THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES FROM WHEN THIS WAS ZONED, UH, IN THE OFFICE, UH, PUD.
SO WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WE WOULD ASK FOR YOUR APPROVAL AND, AND AS STAFF INDICATED, NOT ONLY IS THIS IN, UM, CONFORMANCE WITH YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, BUT WE THINK WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT TO SEE AT WHAT IS NOW A HARD CORNER OF A MAJOR INTERSTATE AND A MAJOR ARTERIAL.
SO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT OR OF CITY STAFF OF THE COMMISSIONERS AT THIS TIME? UH, JUST A QUICK QUESTION.
UM, ANYTHING ON HERE, ON THIS LIST THAT, UH, UH, JUST CANNOT BE DELETED? I MEAN, YOU, YOU BASICALLY JUST TOOK A COPY OF THE, UH, WHAT WHAT'S ALLOWED IN THAT AREA.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE HAPPY TO DISCUSS THAT.
UM, I MEAN OBVIOUSLY WE, WE ENVISION THIS BEING, UH, A CORRIDOR WITH RETAIL AND OFFICE AND PERHAPS RESTAURANTS, BUT CERTAINLY THERE ARE, ARE THINGS ON HERE IF, IF YOU STATE THEM THAT WE COULD, WE COULD DISCUSS.
I THINK I'LL JUST WAIT FOR, UH, SURE.
COMMUNITY, COMMUNITY COMMENTS AND, ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS AT THIS TIME.
HEARING NONE, IT IS TIME FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS AND AS I SAID STATED EARLIER, PLEASE ADDRESS ALL QUESTIONS TO ME.
WE'LL DO OUR BEST TO RECORD 'EM ALL.
HE'S TAKING NOTES AS WELL, AND WE'LL TRY TO GET ANSWERS AFTER EVERYBODY'S HAS, UH, HAS QUESTIONED.
AND AS A REMINDER, IT'S NOT A BACK AND FORTH, SO JUST ASK QUESTIONS AND THEN ONCE WE GET 'EM ALL, WE'LL TRY TO GET YOU ANSWERS.
UH, COME UP TO THE DIOCESE WHEN, UH, IT'S YOUR CHANCE AND JUST TELL US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.
I LIVE AT 1300 SLEEPY HOLLOW ROAD, WHICH IS DIRECTLY ACROSS TO THE NORTH OF, UM, THE DANFORTH CROSSING, UH, PUD.
AND I'D LIKE TO ASK THE COMMISSIONERS TO NOT APPROVE THIS CHANGE IN PUD.
UM, MANY YEARS AGO, 1617, 2016 AND 17, UH, A GREAT DEAL OF TIME AND EFFORT WAS PLACED BY THE RESIDENTS IN THE AREA AND BY THE DEVELOPER TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT ON A PUD THAT WAS ACCEPTABLE AND ACCOMMODATING TO BOTH PARTIES.
AND, UH, THAT WAS AGREED UPON.
AND THE, UH, DEVELOPMENT HAS CONTINUED AND NOW, UH, WE HAVE A CHANGE IN THE PUD AND UM, WHICH WAS KIND OF SPRUNG ON US 21 DAYS AGO.
IT'S, THAT'S LEGAL, BUT STILL TRYING TO DEAL WITH THIS.
AND THE LIST OF PERMITTED USES ARE QUITE EXPANSIVE AND, UM, WE WERE SATISFIED WITH THE PREVIOUS PUD AND THE USE OF IT FOR OFFICE SPACE, BUT WE ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE EXPANSION TO INCLUDE THINGS LIKE CONVENIENCE STORES, DOG KENNELS, CAR WASHES, ET CETERA.
AND SO WE WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK THE COMMISSION TO REJECT THIS CHANGE IN P.
ADDITIONAL PUBLIC COMMENTS, MARY DAVIS, 1301 SLEEPY HOLLOW ROAD, UH, DIRECTLY, UH, NORTH OF THE DEVELOPMENT AS WELL.
THIS LIST HAS SOME JUST EGREGIOUS ITEMS ON IT.
UH, YOU KNOW, ONE OF OUR MAJOR THINGS THAT WE FOUGHT YEARS AGO AND WAS TO GETTING THIS ALL SETTLED WAS THE GAS STATION WITH FUEL CELLS.
UH, BUT YOU KNOW, THIS ADDS A WHOLE NEW SET OF THINGS THAT REALLY AREN'T APPROPRIATE FOR THE AREA.
UH, YOU KNOW, EDMOND'S RESPONSIBILITY TO, OR ITS CITIZENS, UH, OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN OUR QUALITY OF LIFE.
UH, THIS CHANGING TO SOME OF THESE THINGS WOULD DEVALUE OUR PROPERTY, OUR HOMES, UH, THE, UH, ANYTHING THAT BRINGS MORE TRAFFIC OFF OF DANFORTH RIGHT NOW WITH IT POSSIBLY BEING 10 YEARS BEFORE THAT BRIDGE IS REDONE AND THE FULL EXCHANGE IS JUST GOING TO BE RIDICULOUS FOR THAT AREA.
THE TRAFFIC, UH, I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT TRAFFIC, BUT WHEN THE TRAFFIC STUDY WAS DONE BACK IN 2016, THE INTERSECTION OF DANFORTH AND SOONER WAS GIVEN AN F.
THEY SAID IT NEEDED A LIGHT, STILL NO LIGHT.
[00:15:01]
EAST OF THE BRIDGE EVERY MORNING, EVERY EVENING.ANY MORE TRAFFIC TO COME OFF OF I 35 OF THAT AREA IS NOT GONNA BE GOOD.
WE WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THIS, UH, WHERE IT'S STILL, YOU KNOW, I, I CAN UNDERSTAND HIM WANTING SOME RETAIL TO HELP BRING IN SOME STUFF, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE KEPT SMALL.
UH, EDMOND'S ALWAYS HAD THE PLANS THAT PROTECTED THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND HAVING POSSIBLY, YOU KNOW, LIVE WORK STRUCTURES OVER THERE, TOWERING OVER US, IT'S JUST NOT GONNA BE A GOOD DEAL.
SO I RESPECTFULLY ASK THE COMMISSION TO DENY THIS REQUEST.
I LINDA CONAWAY 1620 SLEEPY HOLLOW ROAD.
UM, OUR ADDITION THAT'S RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET IS LIKE 24 LOTS, UH, TWO ACRES EACH AND THEN TWO LOTS.
ACTUALLY TWO OF 'EM ARE FOUR ACRES EACH BECAUSE OF THE CREEK.
BUT WHEN WE FIRST WENT THROUGH ALL THE ZONING FOR THAT, IT STARTED ACTUALLY IN 16 AND MOST OF IT HAD TO DO WITH THE COMMERCIAL PART.
AND I'M HEARING WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT ODOT SAYING THEY'RE GONNA MAKE
BUT, UM, THAT WAS, THAT'S A BIG CONCERN.
AND QUITE HONESTLY, THERE'S THINGS ON OC SCHEDULE THAT'S EIGHT YEARS OUT THAT PROBABLY WON'T BE DONE IN EIGHT YEARS.
SO IT IS GONNA BE A LONG TIME BEFORE THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS.
UM, MY QUESTION, AND I KNOW YOU SAID YOU'D ANSWERED THESE LATER, BUT THIS LIST, I TRIED TO GO THROUGH IT AND LOOK AND SEE WHAT ZONING YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
AND SO THE PDD ALWAYS HAD LIKE THE COMMERCIAL PART HAD A ZONING AND WE STARTED OUT WITH E ONE, UH, THAT DIDN'T PASS THE PLANNING AND SO IT WENT TO E ONE THAT THEY SAID NO FUEL CELLS OR A CONVENIENCE STORE THAT DIDN'T PASS THE PLANNING.
SO IT WENT TO D ONE WITH NO FUEL CELLS OR CONVENIENCE STORE.
AND THAT PASSED PLANNING, BUT THEN THAT DIDN'T PASS THE CITY COUNCIL.
SO WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT ON THAT, THAT, THAT STRIP.
AND I WAS LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENT ZONINGS, UH, THERE'S A D FOUR THAT'S RETAIL THAT'S REALLY MORE CONDUCIVE TO WHAT YOU WOULD NEED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OR LOCALLY.
AND SO I JUST FEEL LIKE THERE'S A LOT BETTER WAY TO GO ABOUT THIS LIST IS THE MOST ATROCIOUS LIST OF, I EVEN TRIED TO GO THROUGH ONE BY ONE AND SAY, OKAY, WHAT ZONING IS THAT ON? AND IT'S EVEN HARD TO FIGURE THAT OUT.
THERE'S EVERYTHING FROM E ONE TO E TWO TO D TWO TO D THREE.
UM, IT, IT'S JUST, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW YOU, THE THING ABOUT THE ZONING THAT MAKES ME COMFORTABLE IS THAT IT TELLS YOU WHAT'S IN THE ZONE AND THEN WHAT COULD BE APPROVED FOR THAT ZONE.
AND THIS LIST, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW YOU WOULD WORK WITH THAT, BUT I, I JUST, I, I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD WORK IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND, AND MOST OF THE REASONS THAT IT DIDN'T PASS BEFORE HAD TO DO WITH IT BEING ACROSS THE STREET FROM, FROM A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WAS ACREAGE NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOW THERE'S SOME BEAUTIFUL HOMES THAT'S INCLUDED WITH THIS PROPERTY AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE JUST BOUGHT A NEW HOME.
UM, I JUST, I THINK HAVE TO BE REALLY, REALLY CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT GOES IN AS FAR AS RETAIL AND THE CITY'S GOOD AT THAT AND ALREADY HAS ZONING SET UP FOR THAT REASON.
SO TO JUST COME UP WITH A LIST THAT SEEMS TO BE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING I ASK THAT YOU DON'T APPROVE THAT.
DAVID KLU 1140 HARMONY DRIVE, THAT'S IN THE DANFORTH CROSSING NEIGHBORHOOD, THE NEW NEIGHBORHOOD.
UH, I SHARE A LOT OF THE CONCERNS HAVE BEEN EXPRESSED BY THE SLEEPY HOLLOW, UH, RESIDENTS.
AND UH, ALSO JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC THROUGH THE DANFORTH CROSSING NEIGHBORHOOD COMING FROM SECOND STREET SAINTS, UH, BOULEVARD, SAINTS WAY
[00:20:01]
THAT ISN'T NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC.WE ALREADY HAVE THAT, UH, TO DEAL WITH.
AND THEN AS SOMEONE ELSE MENTIONED, UH, TRAFFIC BACKING UP TO THE EAST OF THE SOONER ROAD, UH, STOP SIGN AS I WAS COMING TONIGHT, IT WAS CLEAR, UH, ON EAST OF I 35 THERE.
UH, SO IT'S ALREADY SIGNIFICANT BACKUPS THERE.
SO, UH, FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD I WOULD EXPRESS THE CONCERN OF ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC AND ALSO THE EXTENSIVE OPTIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE THERE UNDER THIS, UH, THE, THE LIST OF THIS ZONING AND WOULD REQUEST THAT IT NOT BE APPROVED AS IT IS STATED.
ADDITIONAL PUBLIC COMMENTS AT THIS TIME.
TOM DAVIS, 1301 SLEEPY HOLLOW ROAD AND THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY ALLOWING US TO DISCUSS.
THE ISSUE IS BACK IN 2017, AFTER MANY MEETINGS AND MANY HOURS IN THE PREVIOUS CHAMBER THAT WE HAD DISCUSSIONS AND THERE WAS AN UNDERSTANDING DEVELOPED BETWEEN THE CITY OF EDMOND, THE DEVELOPER AND THE RESIDENTS OF THE AREA AS TO THE COMMERCIAL LAND USAGE OF THE PUD.
AND I WOULD HOPE THAT THE CITY OF, I WOULD HOPE THAT THE UM, CITIZENS OF EDMOND CAN TRUST THE CITY GOVERNMENT TO HOLD TO THOSE AGREEMENTS THAT WERE PRI THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY ARRANGED TO BACK IN 2017.
UM, WE MOVED IN THAT AREA IN EARLY EIGHTIES AND IT WAS QUITE RURAL AT THE TIME AND THIS WAS QUITE A CHANGE WHEN THIS DEVELOPMENT WENT IN TO OUR ENVIRONMENT THAT HAD BEEN VERY RURAL TO A SIGNIFICANT RESIDENTIAL.
AND SO WITH MUCH WORK BACK AND AND FORTH, WE AGREED TO THE COMMERCIAL, UH, ZONING AND, UH, WOULD HOPE THAT THE CITY OF EDMOND WOULD KEEP ITS AGREEMENT WITH THE RESIDENTS TO MAINTAIN THAT CURRENT ZONING.
THANK YOU VERY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ELIZABETH W 1124 HARMONY DRIVE.
I'M ALSO IN DANFORTH CROSSING.
UM, I UNDERSTAND THEY WANT TO DO SOME KIND OF RETAIL THERE, BUT IF IT COULD JUST BE SMALL RETAIL, WE HAVE, AS IT WAS REPORTED EARLIER, LOTS OF TRAFFIC COMING FROM SECOND STREET ON SAINTS DRIVE THROUGH THERE.
UM, TRAFFIC DEFINITELY BACKS UP ALSO, I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT MY HOME PRICES.
I MEAN, I JUST BOUGHT THAT HOUSE.
I DIDN'T EXPECT IF IT'S GONNA BE SOMETHING LIKE A GAS STATION OR SOME BIG RETAIL PIECE, MY HOME VALUE IS NOT GONNA BE THE SAME AS WHEN I BOUGHT IT.
SO I ASK THAT YOU'VE NOT APPROVED THIS.
ADDITIONAL PUBLIC COMMENTS GOING ONCE, THIS IS YOUR ONLY CHANCE I MAMA, LET'S SAY NO, I'LL LET YOU HAVE ONE CHANCE.
NORMALLY YOU GET ONCE SMILE IF THAT'LL HELP.
NO, UH, WHAT I FORGOT TO SAY, UM, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ODOT AND THE PLAN OUT.
I HAD CHECKED ON WHAT THEY DO PLAN TO DO BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE WHEN THEY DID THE STUDY IN 16 FOR THE, THEY ASKED FOR THAT EXIT TO BE SIGNALED, WHICH IT WAS NEVER, BUT IT ACTUALLY BACKS TRAFFIC UP ONTO, THERE'S ONLY TWO LANES ON I 35 THERE AND IT BACK, IT STOPS ONE LANE ON I 35 BECAUSE OF WHAT'S GOING ON THERE RIGHT NOW.
AND SO THE PLAN TO, IN 27 THEY HAVE, THEY'RE DOING THE RIGHT OF WAYS AND SOME THINGS, BUT THEN THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO ADD THAT THIRD LANE IN 31.
SO THAT'S STILL A LITTLE WAYS OUT AND THAT, THAT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT HE'S TALK, I MEAN AS FAR AS REDOING THE EXCHANGE AND EVERYTHING, IT'S JUST GONNA BE A LONG TIME.
YEAH, THAT'S IN NO DOTS CONTROL.
ALRIGHT, LAST CALL FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.
UH, MR. BOX, YOU WANNA COME ON UP? SURE.
UM, I THINK THE TWO THINGS I REALLY HEARD WAS MAYBE YOU CAN ADDRESS IF YOU WANT TO THE, THE ZONING VERSUS THE PUD, WHAT THE, WHAT THE, YOU KNOW, THE HOW THAT WORKS AND THEN THE LIST OF USES.
THOSE ARE KIND OF THE TWO THINGS I HEARD THAT SURE.
YOU PROBABLY HAVE MORE, BUT, OR WHATEVER.
SO THE, I MEAN OBVIOUSLY THE, THE, I GUESS THE BENEFIT OF THE PD IS THE ABILITY TO CUSTOMIZE IT AND ELIMINATE USES AND, AND UM, KIND OF ENSURE COMPATIBILITY, UNDERSTAND THAT IN 2017 THE WORLD WAS A BIT DIFFERENT THAN IT IS IN 2016, PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING.
I DON'T KNOW IF THE I 35 CORRIDOR PLAN EXISTED IN 2017.
UM, YOU KNOW, MY, MY READ OF THAT PLAN IS OBVIOUSLY
[00:25:01]
WE WANT MORE, I GUESS, MEANINGFUL USES TO BE WITHIN THAT PLAN.WE THINK WHAT WE'VE PROVIDED HERE NOW SUBJECT TO WE'RE HAPPY TO, TO DISCUSS USES THAT ARE OF CONCERN.
UH, BUT I THINK FOR LARGE PART WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS A KIND OF SERVICE ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT.
THE DEPTH OF OUR RETAIL IS NOT SIGNIFICANT LIKE YOU WERE EXPECTING TO SEE AT SOONER IN COVE.
UM, THAT'S MUCH MORE SIGNIFICANT, MUCH MORE TRAFFIC.
I THINK THE TYPES OF USAGE YOU WOULD EXPECT TO SEE HERE, UH, WOULD BE THINGS THAT SERVICE THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SO RESTAURANTS AND RETAIL AND OFFICE AND THOSE THINGS.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE CAN, WE CAN DELETE THE AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR, WE CAN DELETE THE CAR WASH, WE CAN DELETE THE LIVE WORK DWELLING UNIT.
UM, AND, AND HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT ANY OF THE OTHERS THAT I KNOW.
COMMISSIONER WINTER ME MENTIONED, UH, SOME CONCERN WITH USES.
YEAH, I THINK, I THINK YOU CERTAINLY HEARD THE CONVENIENCE STORE WITH FUEL CELL, SO DISCUSS THAT AND GIVE US KIND OF YOUR THOUGHTS THERE AND WHAT YOU'RE WILLING TO DO ON THAT.
I KNOW, I THINK MR. WINTER PROBABLY IS GONNA ADDRESS THAT AS WELL.
UM, SO I'M, I'M TEXTING MY CLIENT NOW HOPING HE RESPONDS.
UM, I, I'M HAPPY TO DELETE THOSE.
IF CLIENT TELLS ME THAT THAT DOESN'T WORK, WE, WE CAN PERHAPS COME BACK TO PLAIN COMMISSION.
BUT, UM, WE CAN, SO IN ADDITION TO WHAT I'VE ALREADY MENTIONED, WE CAN DELETE THE CONVENIENCE SALES AND WE CAN DELETE THE, THE HOTEL.
I, I'LL GO OVER THAT LIST IF WE GET TO THE MOTION THAT WAY.
THANK, WE CAN MAKE SURE, THE ONES I'M CLARIFYING RIGHT NOW IS AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR, CAR WASH, AUTOMATED SELF-SERVICE, CONVENIENCE STORE WITH FUEL CELLS, HOTEL MOTEL, AND LIVE WORK DWELLINGS FOR THE ONES THAT I'M SHOWING THAT ARE DELETED.
AND WE'RE HAPPY TO, TO FIND A TIME.
WE DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY FORMAL PROTEST IN ADVANCE OF TONIGHT'S HEARING, SO WE'RE HAPPY TO GO BETWEEN NOW AND CITY COUNCIL, MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORS AND PERHAPS THERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL THINGS THAT WOULD COME FROM THAT.
BUT AT, AT A MINIMUM WE'RE HAPPY TO MODIFY THOSE USES.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS OF THE APPLICANT AT THIS TIME? OKAY, HEARING NONE.
LOOKING FOR A MOTION ON THE COMMENTS I MADE WITH THE, UH, WITH THE REMOVAL FROM THE PUD, UH, USES OF AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR, CAR WASH, CONVENIENCE STORE WITH FUEL CELLS, HOTEL MOTEL, AND LIVE WORK DWELLING BEING REMOVED FROM PERMITTED USES.
THAT IS THE, THAT IS WHAT IS LOOKING FOR A MOTION AT THE MOMENT.
WE HAVE A, WE HAVE A MOTION SECOND AND WE HAVE A SECOND BY A VOTE OF THREE TO ZERO THAT IS APPROVED AS AMENDED AND MOVES ON TO THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING AS OF 1220, I'M SORRY, FEBRUARY 23RD.
