STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU MR. BRIAN.

DOES THE APPLICANT WISH TO ADD TO MR. BRIAN'S PRESENTATION? UH, GOOD EVENING.

TODD MCKENNA ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT.

UH, BRITTANY BIARDO WAS HERE, ONE OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS.

UH, I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU HAD ANY QUESTIONS FROM MR. BRIAN BEFORE I GOT UP HERE, BUT I JUST WANNA AFFIRM WHAT HE SAID.

THE IDEA IS TO BRING THIS PROPERTY INTO THE CONFORMANCE WITH WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE PROPERTY.

THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A MISREPRESENTATION WHEN MY CLIENTS BOUGHT THE PROPERTY THAT IT WAS USED APPROPRIATELY AND IT TURNS OUT IT WAS NOT.

AND SO THEY BOUGHT THIS PROPERTY, INTENDED TO DO A WONDERFUL RENOVATION OF THIS PROJECT, HAVE A DUPLEX WITH THE EXISTING A DU THAT'S IN THE BACK.

SO NOTHING BUT NEGATIVE.

I MEAN NOTHING BUT POSITIVE COMPARED TO WHAT'S EXISTING THERE.

UH, THE ONE THING I MIGHT ADD IS FORMER PLANNING COMMISSIONER LEROY CARTWRIGHT AND I JUST HAD A VERY BRIEF CONVERSATION RIGHT BEFOREHAND.

HE WANTS TO COMMUNICATE THAT WE'RE CON CONFIRM.

WE'RE CONFIRMING AND AGREEING WITH HIM THAT WE'RE TRYING TO BRING THIS INTO COMPLIANCE AND WE'RE NOT SETTING A PRECEDENT FOR WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN BACK TO THE EAST ALONG FOURTH STREET OR ANYTHING ELSE.

AND SO I ASK LEEROY IF HE WANTS TO AND HE CAN DO WHAT HE WANTS.

HE'S A FORMER COMMISSIONER, UH, READ WHAT HE WANTS US TO AFFIRM IN OUR PUD AND WE'RE WILLING TO DO THAT.

UH, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I JUST, UH, CAN'T AGREE MORE WITH WHAT KEN SAID ABOUT THE APPLICABILITY OF THIS PROPERTY FOR WHAT THEY'RE INTENDED TO USE IT FOR.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT MIGHT HAVE AN ISSUE, SIR.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS OF THE APPLICANT OR OF CITY STAFF? SEEING NONE, WE'LL MOVE TO PUBLIC COMMENTS.

ANYBODY WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS, UH, PROJECT? AS A REMINDER, PLEASE MAKE ALL QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS DIRECTED TO THE CHAIR AND IF YOU'VE, IF SOMEBODY'S ALREADY MADE THE PREVIOUS COMMENT, PLEASE KEEP IT TO ONLY ONCE.

SO GO AHEAD.

GOOD EVENING.

UH, LEROY CARTWRIGHT, TWO 17 EAST FOURTH.

UH, WE OWN THE ADJOINING PROPERTY, UH, TO THE EAST OF THIS, UH, AND UH, SHARE THE GARAGE AND THAT'S A LONG STORY.

BUT ANYHOW, UH, LIKE I TOLD TODD AND, AND THE LADY THAT OWNS THAT, MY ONLY CONCERN IS SETTING A PRECEDENT FOR THIS REZONING.

BUT, UH, THEY'VE ADDRESSED THAT BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO SEE INCLUDED IN THE LANGUAGE, WHICH I TALKED TO HIM ABOUT, WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS THEY ARE ASKING FOR A REZONING FOR AN EXISTING NON-CONFORMING STRUCTURE TO BE BROUGHT UP TO CURRENT STANDARDS, INCLUDING THE PARKING.

AND SO OTHER THAN THAT, YOU KNOW, I, I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH IT, BUT AGAIN, I'VE LIVED THERE 50 YEARS MAN, AND I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON.

WE OWN OTHER PROPERTIES THERE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ANYBODY ELSE WISH TO SPEAK FOR AGAINST THIS PROJECT? SEEING NONE.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? IF NOT LOOKING FOR A MOTION IN A SECOND.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION.

WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

I'LL SECOND.

WE HAVE A SECOND BY A VOTE OF FOUR TO ZERO.

UH, CASE FOUR C IS APPROVED AND MOVES ON TO CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON MARCH 9TH, 2026.

MOVING ON TO

[D. Case No. Z25-00024; Public Hearing and Consideration of Approval of a Rezoning from “A” Single Family Dwelling District to “PUD Z25-00024” Colon Holdings Planned Unit Development property that is on the southwest corner of East 2nd Street and South University Drive (Colon Holdings, LLC, Ward 1). ]

AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE.

AND SO MR. BRIAN, WILL YOU PRESENT? YES.

THANK YOU.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FOR THE ZONING MAP AMENDMENT IS APPROXIMATELY ONE HALF ACRE.

THE MAP SHOWS THE SPECIFIC LOCATION AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF SECOND AND UNIVERSITY NEARBY ZONING AND USES INCLUDE TO THE NORTH ACROSS SECOND STREET.

ZONED DOWNTOWN RESIDENTIAL AND IS DEVELOPED WITH A COMMERCIAL STRUCTURE TO THE EAST, IS ZONED NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL AND IS DEVELOPED WITH RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES TO THE SOUTH AND WEST ARE ZONED FOR AND DEVELOPED WITH RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES TO ACCOMMODATE INFILL DEVELOPMENT.

EDMOND EDMOND'S CODE OFTEN REQUIRES A PLAN UNIT, DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, SUCH AS THE ONE BEING PROPOSED.

THE PUD DESIGN STATEMENT INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING DETAILS.

THE ALLOWED USES WOULD BE RESTRICTED TO RESIDENTIAL TOWN HOMES.

A MAXIMUM OF SIX ATTACHED RESIDENTIAL UNITS WOULD BE ALLOWED.

THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE WOULD BE 2,496

[00:10:03]

THAT'S SPECIFICALLY, UM, DONE TO ACCOMMODATE A NARROWER LOT ON THE FAR EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.

THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT WOULD BE TWO STORIES AND 35 FEET ACCESS WILL BE FROM THE EXISTING PUBLIC ALLEY SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND AT LEAST ONE TREE PER DWELLING WILL BE PLANTED IN THE FRONT YARD.

THE ADMIN PLAN, THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CATEGORIZED THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE PROPOSED USE IS APPROPRIATE IN THIS CATEGORY, WHICH FUNCTIONS AS A TRANSITION BETWEEN MORE INTENSE DOWNTOWN AND UNIVERSITY AREAS AND LESS INTENSE SUBURBAN AREAS.

THE CATEGORY CONTAINS AND ACCOMMODATES AN INTERESTING VARIETY OF BUILDING FOOTPRINTS AND LOT SIZES, ALL DESIGNED TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE EASY ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY CIVIC SERVICES.

THOUGHTFUL ATTENTION TO URBAN DESIGN AND INTEGRATION WITH THE NEARBY AREA ARE KEY COMPONENTS TO CONTINUE SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT OF THIS AREA.

BY PAYING ATTENTION TO THESE DETAILS, PROPOSING AN APPROPRIATE USE AND PROVIDING A CONTINUOUS FRONTAGE ALONG A BUSY STREET.

THE PROPOSED PUD APPEARS TO CONFORM TO THE PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THE URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN CATEGORY.

STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, UH, UNTIL WE MOVE ON TO THE APPLICANT.

DOES ANY COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW? JUST THE CITY STAFF.

OKAY, MR. MCKENNA, TAKE IT OVER.

UH, GOOD EVENING.

TODD MCKENNA AGAIN ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT'S COLOGNE HOLDINGS.

UH, RICARDO COLON IS HERE.

HE AND HIS WIFE TIFFANY OWN THIS PROPERTY.

I'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND BECAUSE I THINK IT'S RELEVANT TO WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THIS PROPERTY.

UH, PEOPLE TALK AT THIS PODIUM A LOT AND IT USUALLY DRIVES ME BANANAS ABOUT HOW LONG THEY'VE LIVED HERE AND IT SHOULD MEAN THAT THEY GET A MORE VALUABLE VOTE THAN PEOPLE THAT JUST MOVED HERE, EVEN THOUGH THAT'S USUALLY MY OPPOSITION TO THAT.

I THINK THIS IS RELEVANT.

UH, THE CLONES ARE SIX GENERATION EDMOND KNIGHTS.

UH, TIFFANY'S GRANDPARENTS STARTED PARSONS JEWELRY WAS IN DOWNTOWN EDMOND AND WAS THERE FOR ALMOST 50 YEARS AFTER THEY MOVED TO EDMOND IN THE EARLY SEVENTIES.

AND, UH, TIFFANY'S PARENTS LIVED ON THIS PROPERTY, UH, AND THEN THEY HAD SOME STRUGGLES, WEREN'T ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF IT AND MAINTAIN IT.

AND EVENTUALLY RICARDO AND TIFFANY CAME IN AND UH, BECAUSE OF SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS HAD TO TEAR THE PROPERTY DOWN THE NEIGHBOR TO THE EAST.

UH, ODDLY ENOUGH THAT PROPERTY WAS OWNED BY THE PARSONS AT ONE POINT IN TIME.

UH, AND THE OWNER THAT HAD IT IN THE UH, NINETIES AND EARLY TWO THOUSANDS HAD TROUBLE KEEPING UP WITH SOME CITY OF EDMOND ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS AND IT EVENTUALLY WAS TORN DOWN.

SO YOU HAD THESE TWO LOTS THAT EXISTED THERE AND TIFFANY AND RICARDO WERE LOOKED AT ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT ITEMS THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO THERE.

THEY BROUGHT IN MIKE PATTERSON WITH A AND P STUDIOS, WHO'S HERE TONIGHT WHO DID SOME OF THE DRAWINGS.

AND SO HERE'S THE IRONY.

I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO MISS THIS.

THE ORIGINAL PLAT IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HAD THESE SIX LOTS, WHICH ODDLY ENOUGH IS EXACTLY WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE BUILDING.

SIX SINGLE FAMILY LOTS ON A PLAT THAT WAS BUILT IN THE TWENTIES THAT REQUIRED SIX SINGLE FAMILY LOTS.

AND SO I'VE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF DIALOGUE WITH DIFFERENT NEIGHBORS AND THE COMMENT THAT HAS COME BACK A LITTLE BIT IS WE DON'T WANT YOU TO CHANGE THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH IRONICALLY THIS DEVELOPMENT IS COMPLYING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD MORE SO THAN ANY OTHER LOT THAT'S IN THE AREA.

AND SO I'M EXCITED FOR WHAT THEY HAVE PLANNED HERE.

THERE'S SOME INSPIRATIONAL PHOTOS I'LL SHOW YOU.

THERE'S THE LOTS WITHOUT ANYTHING ON TOP OF THEM.

UH, WE'RE ELIMINATING THAT DANGEROUS ACCESS ONTO SECOND STREET.

YOU MAY, IF YOU'VE DRIVEN DOWN THERE RECENTLY, YOU KNOW THE, ALL THE YARDS ARE ELEVATED AND THERE'S THESE WEIRD LITTLE WALKWAYS THAT GET DOWN TO SECOND STREET SIDEWALKS AND THERE'S A DRIVEWAY THAT'S BEING ELIMINATED FOR ACCESS ALONG THE UH, I GUESS WOULD BE THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY, THE ALLEY TO GET THERE.

HERE'S SOME RENDERINGS.

THESE ARE JUST INSPIRATIONAL.

THEY'RE NOT SITE PLAN ISSUES.

THE ACCESS COMES FROM THE BACK, UH, GARAGES AND SINGLE FAMILY UNITS THAT ARE ATTACHED ALONG THE PROPERTY.

UH, SO THAT'S WHAT THIS PROJECT IS.

I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT.

UH, I'VE KNOWN RICARDO AND TIFFANY FOR PROBABLY 30 YEARS.

OUR KIDS GREW UP TOGETHER A LITTLE BIT AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO IN THE AREA I DO WANNA ADDRESS.

AND IF I COULD, CHRISTIE, DO YOU MIND PULLING UP THE OTHER STUFF? UH, JUST UH, BECAUSE I CAN'T STATE MORE STRONGLY, THE CLONES HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS ANYBODY ELSE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD DOES.

IT'S ABOUT CHANGING THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THERE'S NO DESIRE THAT THIS PROJECT WOULD CHANGE OR SET A PRECEDENT FOR WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN, UH, TO THE SOUTH.

AND MR. BRIAN AND I TALKED ABOUT THE UNIQUE NATURE OF THIS PROPERTY BECAUSE IT'S ON SECOND STREET, IT'S NOT ON FOURTH AND JACKSON, IT'S NOT AT FIFTH AND UNIVERSITY, THIS PROPERTY FRONT SECOND STREET.

AND THE CONCERN THAT HAS BEEN VERBALIZED, AND I DO WANT TO ADDRESS IT 'CAUSE I THINK FACTS ARE IMPORTANT, IS HEY, IF YOU DO THIS, WHICH IRONICALLY THIS IS SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT, IT'S GONNA CHANGE THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND SO I THINK HISTORIC FACTS ARE HELPFUL.

SO THESE TOP TWO PICTURES ARE ON EITHER SIDE OF SECOND STREET, THAT IS THE, UH, COPY SHOP ON THE EAST SIDE OF RANKIN AND THE OTHER ONE IS ON THE WEST SIDE OF RANKIN.

UH,

[00:15:01]

I KNOW THAT BECAUSE THE BOTTOM PICTURE USED TO HAVE A BARBER SHOP AND I GOT MY HAIRCUT THERE WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.

SO OBVIOUSLY THESE PROPERTIES HAVE NOT CHANGED THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO THE OTHER THING YOU HEAR IS I'M CONCERNED THAT THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF RENTAL PROPERTY AND THAT'S GONNA CHANGE THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND SO IF YOU GO FURTHER, UH, TO THE EAST UP TOWARDS BOULEVARD BY MY DEDUCTION, THERE'S ONE PROPERTY THAT IS OWNER OCCUPIED ALONG SECOND STREET, ANYWHERE BETWEEN FINK PARK AND BOULEVARD.

MRS. BARTLEY IS THE OWNER OCCUPANT OF THAT PROPERTY AND EVERY OTHER PROPERTY IN THERE IS A RENTAL PROPERTY.

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, BUT YOU OFTEN HEAR THAT I DON'T WANT RENTAL PROPERTY THAT'S GONNA CHANGE THE CHARACTER IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO WE KNOW WE'VE HAD COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT HASN'T CHANGED THE CHARACTER IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE KNOW WE HAVE RENTAL PROPERTY THAT HASN'T CHANGED THE CHARACTER OF CAPITAL VIEW.

TO MY KNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE IS JUST WHY HERE? WELL IT'S 'CAUSE IT'S ON SECOND STREET AND THE ACCESS.

AND SO IF YOU GO FURTHER UH, TO THE EAST, YOU COME ACROSS ANOTHER PROPERTY THAT'S REZO COMMERCIAL.

UH, AND THEN EVEN FURTHER, THIS IS AT JACKSON.

OUR PROPERTY AT, AT UNIVERSITY.

AS YOU GO FURTHER, YOU FIND AT RENTAL PROPERTY THERE'S MS. BARTLEY'S PROPERTY, ANOTHER RENTAL PROPERTY, AND THEN THIS IS AT JACKSON.

THE BOTTOM PICTURE THAT PROPERTY IS OWNED COMMERCIAL, IT CAN BE USED FOR C TWO, WHICH AS YOU KNOW, IS UH, 12 UNITS PER ACRE OR IT CAN BE USED FOR A COFFEE SHOP.

UH, DR.

KEVIN HARDGROVE AND HIS FAMILY BOUGHT THAT PROPERTY YEARS AGO.

AND THEN THE LAST COUPLE EXAMPLES, THERE'S A REAL ESTATE OFFICE THERE ON SECOND STREET, THERE'S A LAW OFFICE AND THEN ON THE HARD CORNER YOU HAVE JUSTICE TOM PRINCE'S PROPERTY WHO USED TO BE A LAW OFFICE AND NOW IS A BARBERSHOP.

AND SO I THINK JUSTICE PRINCE WENT IN THERE IN LIKE 2003 AND OPENED A LAW OFFICE.

AND THEN JOHN LASH, UH, OPENED THAT LAW OFFICE.

WELL FIRST IT WAS OPENED BY ANOTHER ATTORNEY IN 1993.

SO IF YOU GO FROM BOULEVARD ALL THE WAY TO FINK PARK, THERE'S ONE SINGLE OWNER OCCUPIED PROPERTY.

THERE'S RENTAL PROPERTY, WHICH IS GREAT.

THERE'S OFFICES, THERE'S RETAIL, UH, AND THERE'S C TWO MULTIFAMILY.

AND NONE OF THOSE FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, HAVE HAD A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON CAPITAL VIEW AND NOR DO WE WANT THEM TO.

AND SO I HAVE GREAT CONFIDENCE IN THE FACT THAT COMING IN HERE WITH SIX UNITS ON SIX RESIDENTIAL LOTS WON'T HAVE ANY NEGATIVE IMPACT EITHER.

MATTER OF FACT, IT'D BE QUITE POSITIVE BECAUSE OF THE CAPITAL INVESTMENT AND THE INCREASE IN VALUE OF THE PROPERTY THERE.

AND SO I'M SORRY TO TAKE A LONG TIME TO GO THROUGH THAT, BUT SOMETIMES PEOPLE SAY THINGS AND I HAVE THE SAME FEAR, I DON'T WANT THAT TO DO THIS.

SO I JUST LIKE TO LOOK AT THE FACTS.

AND SO THAT'S THE HISTORY AROUND THERE, THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE.

MY CLIENTS HAVE GOT A GREAT PLAN, THEY GOT GREAT PROFESSIONALS WORKING WITH THEM AND WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT IT AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE PROCESS.

THANK YOU.

MR. MCINNIS, WHAT QUESTIONS ARE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE COMMISSIONERS CURRENTLY OF THE APPLICANT? NO, THE ONE THING I WANNA CLARIFY, I DID NOT, I'M GONNA MAKE SURE I DIDN'T MISS IT.

I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING ABOUT COMMERCIAL USE FOR THIS PUD, CORRECT? CORRECT.

OKAY.

NO SIR.

IT'S, IT'S SINGLE FAMILY.

YEAH, IT'S SIX LOTS.

UH, IT'S ATTACHED TOWN HOMES, BUT THAT'S NOT, YEP.

DIFFERENT.

NO SIR.

NO, NO COMMERCIAL USES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ALRIGHT, MOVING ON TO PUBLIC COMMENTS.

UM, AND AS I WANNA REITERATE, PLEASE MAKE ALL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS TO ME.

THIS ISN'T A BACK AND FORTH, THIS IS, UH, ADDRESS ALL YOUR COMMENTS TO ME, THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE.

AND I WILL DO OUR BEST TO GET QUESTIONS.

ONCE EVERYBODY'S ASKED THEIR QUESTIONS, WE'LL HAVE THE APPLICANT COME BACK UP AND TRY TO GET THE ANSWERS FOR YOU.

SO ANYBODY WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS PROPERTY AT THE OR THIS PROJECT TIME? THANK YOU.

HELLO, MY NAME IS BJ RICE AND I LIVE AT, UH, 46 17 BRODER MEAD ROAD IN EDMOND.

ALTHOUGH I DO NOT RESIDE IN THE CAPITAL VIEW NEIGHBORHOOD.

UH, MY BROTHER AND I OWN SEVERAL HOUSES THERE AND MY FATHER, BROTHER AND I JOINTLY OWN AN ADDITIONAL SIX PROPERTIES.

MY DAUGHTER AND HER HUSBAND CURRENTLY LIVE IN CAPITAL VIEW AND IT IS LIKELY THAT MY OTHER DAUGHTER WILL MOVE THERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

UM, I PERSONALLY RENOVATED SIX OF OUR CAPITAL VIEW PROPERTIES, INCLUDING A HUNDRED YEAR OLD HOME, WHICH WAS RECENTLY RECOGNIZED BY THE EDMOND HISTORICAL TRUST, UH, WITH A HISTORIC PRESERVATION TRUST PLAQUE THAT ACTUALLY IS ON SECOND STREET, UH, FRONT OF SECOND STREET, 3 0 3 0 4 EAST SECOND.

AND I HAD PLANS TO RENOVATE AN ADDITIONAL THREE HOUSES THIS YEAR.

MY, WE, MY BROTHER AND I BOTH MET WITH MR. MCKENNA, UH, WITH MIKE AND, AND ALBERTO ON THE THIS PROJECT TO EXPRESS OUR CONCERNS.

AND I I I'M ENCOURAGED BY, UH, MR. MCGINNIS STATEMENTS THAT THIS HOPEFULLY WILL NOT SET A PRECEDENT, BUT THAT IS OUR MAIN CONCERN, IS THAT IT WILL SET A PRECEDENT.

UM, AND, AND OUR, OUR CONCERN IS THAT BY ESTABLISHING AND PROVING THIS ZONING CHANGE, PROVING THE REQUESTED LOT SIZES AND VARIANCES WITHIN THIS P THAT IT'S GOING TO ALLOW, YOU KNOW, 19, 19 FEET TO 22 FEET, UH, SIZED LOTS WITH ZERO SIDE SETBACKS.

THAT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN THE EXISTING ZONING, WHICH IS COMMERCIAL.

I'D ALMOST BE MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THIS ACTUALLY WAS COMMERCIAL 'CAUSE I DON'T THINK IT WOULD HAVE AN IMPACT 'CAUSE OF JUST

[00:20:01]

HOWEVER, UM, WHAT I FEEL LIKE THIS MIGHT OPEN UP, THIS PRESIDENT OPENS A DOOR FOR INVESTORS, DEVELOPERS TO POTENTIALLY CHANGE THE CHARACTER OF, OF EDMOND'S OLDEST, MOST ESTABLISHED, MOST DESIRABLE NEIGHBORHOOD.

UH, IF THIS PUTT HAS ALLOWED THEN WHAT WOULD STOP A DEVELOPER FOR PROPOSING THE SAME LOT SIZE AND VARIANCE FOR INTERNAL LOTS WITHIN THE CAPITAL VIEW, POTENTIALLY RAISING EXISTING HOUSES, EXISTING A HUNDRED YEAR OLD HOUSES IN FAVOR OF A MULTI-UNIT 35 FOOT TALL TOWN HOME.

I HOPE THAT'S NOT THE CASE.

UH, BUT THAT'S WHAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT.

UH, IRONICALLY AT THIS PUZZ APPROVED AND THAT PRECEDENT SET, OUR FAMILY STANDS TO GAIN FINANCIALLY AS WE COULD POTENTIALLY TURN OUR 13 RENTAL HOUSES INTO A NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL DOORS.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, I DON'T SUPPORT THE ZONING CHANGE REQUESTS AND I HOPE THAT PLANNING COMMISSION CONSIDERS THE IMPACT OF THIS P AND THE ZONING CHANGE WOULD HAVE ON THE HISTORICAL, UH, AND SOUGHT AFTER NEIGHBORHOOD.

THANK YOU FOR THE TIME.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ANYBODY ELSE WISH TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME? THERE'S, THIS IS THE ONLY CHANCE IS MAKING SURE WE ALL KNOW.
