IF YOU'LL COME UP TO THE MICROPHONE, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, AND WE WILL START THE CLOCK FOR 3 MINUTE. >> TODD DAVIS, 312 DENTON STREET, HUTCHINS TS TEXAS. I JUST WANTED TO BRING TO YOUR GUYS' ATTENTION, THAT PEOPLE ARE TOTALLY IGNORING THEM. THEY GO AROUND THEM. THEY TRY TO CUT THROUGH OVER TO HICKMAN STREET FROM KENNEDY BEHIND THE LIBRARY. THE WORKERS THAT ARE THERE, MY WIFE'S BEEN THERE. ON SATURDAY WE HAD TWO PEOPLE FOLLOW US BECAUSE I'M ALLOWED TO GO AROUND THERE BECAUSE I LIVE IN BETWEEN THE TWO ROAD CLOSED SIGNS. PEOPLE JUST FOLLOW ME RIGHT INTO MY DRIVEWAY. THEY HAVE TO GO DOWN TO THE NEXT DRIVEWAY, WHICH IS THE VACANT LOT, TURN AROUND AND BACK UP. WE ACTUALLY SAW TWO DRIVE UP OVER THE BRAND NEW FORMS WHERE THEY TORE OUT THE WALKWAY THERE ON THE EASTSIDE OF DENTON STREET. THEY DROVE RIGHT THROUGH THE FORMS. SO IF THERE HAD BEEN CONCRETE THERE ... I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU GUYS CAN DO ANYTHING, BUT I WANT TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION IT SHOULD BE CALLED HUTCHINS SPEEDWAY THROUGH THERE. KENNEDY STREET IS HORRIBLE. WE NEED SPEED BUMPS. PROBABLY DOWN THE AVENUE AS WELL. I'M TRYING TO GET A PETITION OF EVERYONE ON THATS AVENUE. CAN -- ON DALLAS AVENUE. CAN I BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION? WOULD THAT EMPHASIZE HOW CONCERNED WE ARE ABOUT THE SPEEDERS AND HORRIBLE DRIVERS IN HUTCHINS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TI TIME. [D. CONSENT AGENDA] >> OKAY. AT THIS TIME WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS. WE HAVE ONE ITEM. AS PRESENTED IN THE CONSENT AGENDA THEY REQUIRE NO DELIBERATION BY COUNCIL. REMOVING AN ITEM FROM THIS AGENDA SO THAT IT MAY BE CONSIDERED SEPARATELY. WE HAVE RESOLUTION. WITH THE TIME PERIOD OF OCTOBER 1, 2026 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH, 20 2026. >> SORRY, I'M TRYING TO FIND THE [00:05:03] VOT VOTING. >> IS THERE A PRESENTATION WITH THIS DISCUSSION? >> EXCUSE ME? >> THERE'S NO PRESENTATION? >> ON CONSENT AGENDA THERE'S NO DISCUSSION UNLESS YOU'D LIKE TO MOVE IT TO REGULAR AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION. THIS IS AN ANNUAL AGREEMENT. >> I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE'LL APPROVE CONSENT AGENDA. >> I SECOND. >> THERE'S BEEN A MOTION AND A SECOND BY MS. RODRIGUEZ. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. [INAUDIBLE] >> I SHOW THE MOTION PASSED. >> OKAY. [E.2. Discussion Commercial Motor Vehicle Enforcement Unit. Presented by Steve Perry, Police Chief ] SO NOW WE MOVE ON TO OUR PRESENTATIONS. WE HAVE DISCUSS AND CONSIDER COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ENFORCEMENT UNIT. THIS ITEM IS PRESENTED BY DREW CA CAREY. >> I'LL SEE IF I CAN GET THIS POWER POINT TO WORK WOULD. -- TO WORK. >> IT'S SWITCHING OVER, CHIEF. DID YOU PUT IN YOUR USB? OH, THERE. OK OKAY. >> PERFECT. ALL RIGHT. I'M A FIRM BELIEVER THAT EVERYTHING THAT WE DO IS SHAPING THE FUTURE OF HUTCHINS. AND THE PURPOSE OF THE CONVERSATION TONIGHT IS WE'RE LOOKING FOR COUNCIL'S SUPPORT IN FUNDING A COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE UNIT. SO I WANT TO THANK MR. ODEM. HE PUT ME IN CONTACT WITH OUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE MS. DAVIS. SHE AND I MET, AND WE PROPOSED A LEGISLATIVE CHANGE TO SECTION 1 101. IT WOULD ALLOW US IN HUTCHINS TO CREATE -- CURRENTLY THE WAY THE LAW IS, WE DON'T QUALIFY, WE DON'T HAVE A POPULATION HIGH ENOUGH TO HAVE A COMMERCIAL MOTIVATION. SO WHAT THIS WOULD DO IS IT IT WITH WOULD ALLOW US TO PROPOSE LEGISLATION THAT WOULD, IN FACT, CHANGE CHAPTER 644 OF THE TEXAS ADMINISTRATIVE CODE THAT WITH WOULD ALLOW HUTCHINS TO APPLY TO CREATE A COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE ENFORCEMENT UNIT. I'VE REACHED OUT TO THE STATE OF TEXAS AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY WELCOME A NEW LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES INTO THE PROGRAM. THEY WANT MORE AGENCIES TO BE INV INVOLVED. KIND OF WHAT IT COULD COST TO OPERATE A COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE ENFORCEMENT UNIT, WE'D HAVE TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE. TO WORK IN THAT CAPACITY. IT WOULD BE AROUND $150,000 A YEAR. AND THAT PROGRAM IS PAID FOR BY THE FINES THAT ARE COLLECTED. SO THE WAY THE PROGRAM IS SET UP IS THAT THE CITY IS ALLOWED TO KEEP 110% OF WHATEVER FINES ARE COLLECTED THROUGH THE PROGRAM. SO WE LOOKING AT THE CENSUS DATA FOR HUTCHINS, THE LAST DATA HAD [00:10:06] HUTCHINS AT ABOUT 8,400 RESIDENTS. OUR WORKFORCE IS CENTRED AROUND TRANSPORTATION, INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING AND WAREHOUSING. THE PAST TEN YEARS HUTCHINS HAS ADDED APPROXIMATELY 120 MILLIONAIRE FOOT OF SPACE. AND DATA SHOWS TRAVEL EACH DAY. TRAVELING EVERYDAY. THEY HAVE THE CAPACITY FOR ABOUT 500 A WEEK. YOU CAN SEE THAT OUR COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS HAVE INCREASED 13 TO 20% IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS. THERE IS A NEED TO OBVIOUSLY BE CENTRED AROUND SAFETY. WE WOULD WANT TO WORK WITH OUR COMMERCIAL VEHICLE PARTNERS JUST LIKE WE WANT THEM TO WORK WITH THE CITY AND TO OPERATE ON OUR ROADWAYS SAFELY. THAT IS THE POINT OF THE PROGRAM. SO JUST REAL BRIEFLY, I'LL KIND OF GO THROUGH WHAT THE LAW CURRENTLY SAYS, AND I'M NOT GOING TO READ THE ENTIRE LAW BECAUSE I READ FOUR PAGES UP HERE. BUT I'LL JUST READ ONE OF THE QUALIFYING MEANS IN WHICH A CITY CAN QUALIFY. A POLICE OFFICER OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING MUNICIPALITIES IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR CERTIFICATION UNDER THIS SECTION. A MUNICIPALITY WITH A POPULATION OF 50,000 OR MORE. WE KNOW WE'RE NOT 50,000 OR MORE. A MUNICIPALITY WITH 25,000 OR MORE IN ANY PART OF WHICH IS LOCATED IN A COUNTY WITH A POPULATION OF 500,000 OR MORE AND THEN IT GOES ON , A MUNICIPALITY WITH A POPULATION OF LESS THAN 25,000, WHICH WE COULD QUALIFY THERE, BUT THEN IT GOES ON TO SAY ANY PART OF WHICH IS LOCATED IN A COUNTY WITH A POPULATION OF $3.3 MILLION. AND WE KNOW DALLAS COUNTY IS NOT $3.3 MILLION. IT'S ROUGHLY 2.6 OR 2.7 MILLION PEOPLE. SO THAT'S WHY WE WOULD NEED TO CHANGE LEGISLATION AND THEN APPLY FOR A COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE UNIT. SO I THINK THAT'S THE LAST SLIDE. BUT I MADE HE A COPY OF THIS PACKET AND I PUT IT IN EACH OF YOUR POSITIONS. THIS IS THE ACTUAL LEGISLATION THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT TO THE STATE OF TEXAS. OUR LEGISLATION WILL BE MEETING IN JANUARYISH TO LOOK AT NEW BILLS. WE WOULD GO TO AUSTIN. WE WOULD TESTIFY AS TO WHY WE NEED A COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE UNIT. WITH HE MAY EVEN INVITE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL TO GO TO AUSTIN AND TESTIFY, YOU KNOW, OF OUR INCREASE IN COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE TRAFFIC IN THE CITY OF HUTCHAGES. SO THE SUMMARY IS HUTCHINS IS REQUESTING AN AMENDMENT TO THE TRANSPORTATION CODE TO ADD A PATHWAY FOR MUNICIPAL POLICE OFFICERS TO SEEK CERTIFICATION FOR COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE ENFORCEMENT. HUTCHINS SERVES AS A FREIGHT AND LOGISTICS HUB. COMMERCIAL TRUCKS AND PASSENGER VEHICLES SHARE THESE ROADWAYS. FWROET AND WAREHOUSE DISTRIBUTION AND INTERMODAL TRANSPORTATION HAS INCREASED NEED FOR LOCAL COMMERCIAL VEHICLE SAFETY RESOURCES. THE PROPOSAL RECOGNIZES THAT A SMALLER RESIDENTIAL POPULATION CAN STILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH SUBSTANTIAL FREIGHT ACTIVITY. YOU THE IT WOULD ADD AN ELIGIBILITY CATEGORY TIED TO MUNICIPAL POPULATION, COUNTY POP FRACK AND INLAND PORT INFRASTRUCTURE. IT WOULD PROMOTE SAFER ROADS. OFFICERS WOULD STILL HAVE TO HAVE DPS TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION. IT'S SECTION 104-101 TO ALLOW OFFICERS FOR AN ADDITIONAL CATEGORY OF MUNICIPALITIES TO APPLY FOR CERTIFICATION THROUGH THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY. AND THIS WOULD BE THE ACTUAL LEGISLATIVE CHANGE. REQUIRES THE MUNICIPALITY TO HAVE A POPULATION OF MORE THAN 8,000 AND FEWER THAN 15,000 RESIDENTS. REQUIRES THAT THE MUNICIPALITY BE LOCATED IN A COUNTY WITH MORE THAN 2.5 MILLION RESIDENTS. REQUIRES THE COUPE TO CONTAIN AN INLAND PORT THAT INCLUDES AN INTERMODAL RAIL YARD WHERE WHERE CARGO IS ROUTINELY TRANSFERRED BETWEEN TRUCK AND TRAIN. AND WE LOOKED AT THE ADMINISTRATIVE CODE AND THE RAIL YARD THAT'S HERE IN HUTCHINS. IT DOES MEET THE DEFINITION OF AN INLAND PORT AS WE'VE STATED IN THIS LEGISLATIVE CHANGE. USING THE EXISTING STATE CERTIFICATION PROCESS, ELIGIBILITY ALONE WITH WOULD NOT [00:15:04] ESTABLISH A UNIT OR GRANT UNRESTRICTED ENFORCEMENT OF AUTHORITY. KEEPS PARTICIPATING OFFICERS SUBJECT TO DPS TRAINING, WHICH ALL OUR OFFICERS THAT WOULD BE DOING THIS WOULD HAVE TO BE DPS TRAINED AND CERTIFICATION AND ERE REQUIREMENTS FOR COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY AND ENFORCEMENT SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR TONIGHT IS SUPPORT FROM THE COUNCIL TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS LEGISLATIVE CHANGE. FROM THERE, WE WOULD COME BACK TO COUNCIL. OUR LEGISLATURE'S CHOSEN TO MAKE THIS CHANGE IN LEGISLATION. THEN WE WOULD COME BACK TO COUNCIL AND TALK ABOUT FORMING AN ACTUAL COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE UNIT BECAUSE THERE WOULD BE A COST TO ADOPT THIS TYPE OF PROGRAM. BUT AS I SAID, 110% OF THE PROCEEDS ARE ALLOWED TO BE KEPT BY THE CITY AND THE PROGRAM BASICALLY PAYS FOR ITSELF. >> I WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT THIS. THE COMMERCIAL TRUCKS AROUND HERE ARE RIDICULOUS. >> CHIEF, YOU DON'T KNOW THE HALF OF IT. >> YEAH. >> I HAVE ONE YOU QUESTION, CHIEF. IT'S FROM THE FINES, RIGHT? >> YES. >> ANYTHING OVER 110% GOES TO THE STATE. >> OKAY. SOUNDS GOOD. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> OKAY. [F.3. A. Conduct a public hearing regarding an amendment to the Code of Ordinance repealing Chapter 10 Subdivision Regulations in its entirety and amending Chapter 10 Subdivision Regulations of the City of Hutchins. ] AT THIS TIME WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR PUBLIC HEARINGS. OUR FIRST PUBLIC HEARING WE HAVE IS CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CODE OF ORDER ORDNANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 10 SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS IN THE CITY OF HUT HUTCHINS. PRESENTED BY OUR BUILDING OFFICIAL BLAKE MOORE. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL T LAST YEAR AND A HALF OR SO WE'VE ENGAGED WITH STEVEN COOK TO UPDATE OUR ZONING ORDNANCE AND SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE. AND THE ZONING ORDNANCE WENT BEFORE Y'ALL AND YOU PASSED IT AND NOW TONIGHT WE BRING BEFORE YOU OUR SUBDIVISION ORDNANCE AND WHAT HE BASICALLY DID IS CLEANED IT UP, PUT THE PROCESSES WHERE WHERE THEY'RE CLEAR SO THAT WE US THE PROCESSES OF PROPORTIONALITY, SUBDIVISION REQUIREMENTS, THINGS LIKE THAT. AND THIS REALLY HELPS THE COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE SUBMITTING FOR PLAT OR REPLAT. THEY CAN GO ON THERE AND LOOK AT THE TIMELINE, THE PROCESS TO STREAMLINE THINGS. AND THEY REALLY CLEAN IT UP. AND TONIGHT WE HAVE STEVEN COOK WITH US, AND HE HAS A PRESENTATION OF WHAT HE'S DONE AND HOW HE UPDATEDED IT AND HOW IT MATCHES THE CURRENT STATE L LAW. >> THANK YOU, BLAKE. SEE IF WE CAN GET THIS PUSHED OVER HERE. >> MY APOLOGIES. THERE WE GO. FANTASTIC. COUNCIL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AGAIN, MY NAME IS STEVEN COOK. I'M WITH DUNNAWAY ASSOCIATES AND IT'S MY PLEASURE TO APPEAR BEFORE YOU. AND HAVING BEEN ABLE TO SERVE THE CITY OF HUTCHINS OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO THE ZONING ORDNANCE AND NOW TONIGHT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SUBDIVISION ORDNANCE. THE SUBDIVISION ORDNANCE IS YOUR WORKHORSE. CENTERING PROPERTY OWN ED WITHIN THE CITY AND BEING PAYABLE TO GO THROUGH THE APPROPRIATE PO PROCESSES TO DEVELOP IT, SUBDIVIDE IT INTO SEPARATE PARCELS AND MAKE SURE THAT THOSE PARCELS ARE RECORDED ACCURATELY WITH DALLAS COUNTY, AND BE ABLE TO ULTIMATELY ONCE IT GETS SUBDIVIDED AND THEY BECOME INDIVIDUAL TAXABLE ENTITIES. THE STAY REALLY CONTROLS HOW SUBDIVISIONS ARE SUBDIVIDED. THEY CONTROL THE PROCESS P HOW MUCH TIME THAT THE MUNICIPALITY CAN TAKE IN ORDER TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS TO REVIEW THINGS FROM THE APPLICATION ALL THE WAY THROUGH MAKING SURE ALL THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS ARE DONE APPROPRIATELY. AND SO WHAT WE WANTED TO DO WAS TAKE YOUR SUBDIVISION ORDNANCES THAT HAD BEEN BEFORE, REORGANIZE IT AND MAKE SURE IT'S ACCURATE TO WHAT THE STATE REQUIRES. WE DID THAT IN CONJUNCTION WITH YOUR ZONING ORDNANCE BECAUSE THEY BOTH LIVE TOGETHER AND WE [00:20:02] WANT TO MAKE SURE ALL THE PROCESSES ARE CLEAR AND UNDERSTANDABLE. THAT ALL THE DEFINITIONS ARE UPDATED AND PUT INTO THE APPROPRIATE PLACE. AND ALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSES, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT, WHAT IS THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RESPONSIBLE FOR. WHAT IS THE CITY COUNCIL RESPONSIBLE FOR. AND WE WANTED TO KIND OF GO THROUGH THAT ENTIRE PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT AS THE STATE AND AS YOUR POLICE CHIEF SAID, THE LEGISLATION IS GOING TO MEET AGAIN NEXT YEAR, AND THEY MAY MAKE FURTHER CHANGES GOING FORWARD. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANT TO MAKE UP TO DATE AS IT STANDS TODAY. AND THIS IS THE LAST PART OF THIS PROCESS. WE'VE GONE THROUGH MULTIPLE REVIEWS WITH YOUR PLANNING P ZONING COMMISSION. THAT'S SERVED US VERY WELL IN PROVIDING FEEDBACK AS WE'VE GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS. ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANTED TO DO IS JUST REPLACE OUTDATED 1990'S REGULATIONS. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE STRUCTURE WAS ALLOWING FOR THE WORK FLOW. THE WAY THAT NOT ONLY HOW AN APPLICANT COMES TO THE CITY AND UNDERSTANDS HOW THAT PROCESS WOULD BE WOULD, BUT ALSO HOW YOUR STAFF UNDERSTANDS THAT PROCESS. WE WANT YOUR FRONTLINE PERSON, THAT IS THE PERSON THAT THEY SEE AS THEY WALK INTO THE FRONT DOOR, UNDERSTAND IT IS PROCESS AND BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOUR APPLICANTS SO THAT IT BECOMES AN EASIER PROCESS. AND IT'S NOT AN ADVERSARIAL PROCESS. BETWEEN YOUR APPLICANTS AND YOUR STAFF. SO WE GO THROUGH THAT INDIVIDUAL PROCESS. WE'VE ALSO PUT IN AN ENTIRE SECTION IN THERE THAT REFERS DIRECTLY TO THE STATE LAW SO THAT THERE IS A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING THAT WE'RE NOT ASKING NICK OF OUR APPLICANTS THAT -- ANYTHING OF OUR APPLICANTS THAT ISN'T REQUIRED BY STATE LAW. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET THINGS CORRECT. ONE OF THE THINGS WE ALSO WANTED TO DO WAS UNDERSTAND FROM THE POINT WHERE AN APPLICANT WALKS IN, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY US THAT THERE'S A WAY TO GET THINGS DONE IN THE CITY OF HUTCHINS WITHOUT HAVING TO GO OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. SO WE WANT TO MAKE THINGS CLEAR. HAVING A PREAPPLICATION MEETING SO THEY UNDERSTAND ZONING, HOW ARE WE GOING TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S APPROPRIATE. AND GETTING DIRECTION FROM YOU AS THE CITY COUNCIL IS AN APPROPRIATE WAY OF DOING THINGS. AND SO BEING ABLE TO HAVE THAT INTERPRETATION AND UP FRONT BEFORE AN APPLICATION IS EVEN MADE, HELPS THAT PROCESS GOING FORWARD. WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT ONCE AN APPLICATION IS MADE, THAT THAT APPLICATION, ALL THE BITS AND BOBS OF THAT THAT IS MADE HAS TO BE REVIEWED UP FRONT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT APPLICATION HAS ALL THE PARTS NEEDED BEFORE WE ACCEPT THAT APPLICATION. WE'RE GOING TO REJECT THAT APPLICATION IF IT'S NOT ALL THERE. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S ALL CORRECT. IT JUST MEANS THAT THEY NEED ALL THE PARTS OF IT FOR US TO ACCURATELY REVIEW THAT APPLICATION. BECAUSE ONCE APPLICATION IS ACCEPTED, THEN A CLOCK STARTS. WE HAVE TO GET THINGS REVIEWED, BACK AND FORTH WITH THE APPLICANT. AND WE HAVE TO GET THINGS BEFORE YOUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND ULTIMATELY BEFORE YOU TO GET PLATS APPROVED SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE IS AN APPROPRIATE PROCESS. SO ALL OF THAT HAS BEEN OUTLINED. AND WE TALK ABOUT THE STANDARDIZED 30 DAY ACTION. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE YOUR APPLICANT UNDERSTANDS THE PROCESS. SO WE ALSO UPDATED ALL THE DESIGN STANDARDS FOR HOW THE APPLICATIONS ARE APPLIED. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE ACCURATE INFORMATION THAT NEEDS TO BE PLACED ON THE FACE OF THE PLATS. WE CLARIFIED WHAT KINDS OF PLATS ARE ACCEPTABLE INTO THE CITY FROM A PRELIMINARY PLAT WHERE WHERE WE'RE KIND OF GETTING AN IDEA OF HOW THINGS ARE GOING TO WORK. DO WE HAVE THE APPROPRIATE, ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES FOR THIS TO WORK. AND SUBDIVIDING THE PROPERTY. TO MINOR PLATS WHERE WHERE WE'RE NOT HAVING TO GO THROUGH A FULL DESIGN REVIEW BECAUSE NO NEW INFRASTRUCTURE IS BEING PROPOSED WITH A MINOR PLAT. WE'RE JUST GOING TO SUBDIVIDE PROPERTY THAT'S LESS THAN FOUR UNITS OR LESS AND THAT THOSE PARTIALS ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO BUILD A NEW ROAD OR NEW WATERLINE OR A NEW SEWER LINE. THOSE THINGS ARE ALREADY ACCEPTABLE AND WILL ALREADY IN PLACE. IT'S JUST THAT. A PREVIOUS PLATTED PROPERTY AND THOSE HAVE TO COME FORWARD AND GO THROUGH THE SIMILAR PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE LOTS ARE GOING TO BE ACCEPTABLE AND APPROVABLE THROUGH THE PROCESS. AN AMENDING PLAT IS SOMETHING THAT MADE AN ERROR ON IT. AND IT'S USUALLY SURVEYOR NUMBER IS IT NOT CORRECT. IF YOU'VE EVER GONE THROUGH PROPERTY, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE IS A PROCESS TO MAKE THOSE CORRECTIONS AND GET THOSE FILED CORRECTLY WITH DALLAS COUPE SO THAT IT CAN GO THROUGH [00:25:05] APPROPRIATELY. THIS IS A PROCESS THAT REALLY STRENGTHENS YOUR COMMUNITY, SO THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE. HERE'S A COMPLETE FLOW PROCESS ALL THE WAY THROUGH. WE ALSO WANTED TO ADD A COUPLE THINGS TO HELP PROTECT THE COMMUNITY, IN THE CASE SOMETHING GETS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IS TYPICAL. THESE ARE TWO TYPES OF THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE IS LANGUAGE AND A PROCESS. A LOT OF TIMES IF THERE IS A DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN THE MUNICIPALITY AND A DEVELOPER IN THESE KINDS OF THINGS, THAT RESULTS IN A LAWSUIT AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE PROTECT THE MUNICIPALITY IN THAT REGARD AND SAY, HEY, LET'S GO THROUGH A PROCESS FIRST, RATHER THAN IMMEDIATELY GOING TO A LAWSUIT. IF YOU HAVE A SUBDIVISION HAS ALREADY APPLIED FOR AND YOU MAKE A DECISION TO MODIFICATION FOR ZONING THAT, SUBDIVISION HAS A VESTED RIGHT IN DEVELOPING UNDER YOUR PREVIOUS RULES. AND SO THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY, WELL, YOU'RE APPLYING SOMETHING THAT MIGHT NOT REALLY APPLY TO US. WE WANT TO SAY WE'VE GOT A VESTED RIGHT IN THIS. AND SO THERE'S A PROCESS FOR THEM TO GO THROUGH THE MUNICIPALITY TO MAKE SURE, IS THAT -- SO IT'S A WAY OF COMMUNICATING AND WORKING WITH AN APPLICANT RATHER THAN BECOMING AN ADVERSARIAL PROCESS. THE SAME THING WITH A ROUGH PROPORTIONALITY. YOU AS A MUNICIPALITY HAVE TO BE CONSERVATIVE ABOUT THE TYPES OF SERVICES THAT YOU PROVIDE THE COMMUNITY. ROADS, PARKS AND TRAILS AND OTHER KINDS OF THINGS. AND SO YOU DO ASK OF YOUR DEVELOPERS TO SUBMIT PORTIONS OF THEIR PROPERTY THROUGH APPROPRIATE PROCESS THAT THEY HAVE TO BUILD. THEY HAVE TO BUILD A ROAD. THEY HAVE TO BUILD A PARK OR DEDICATE PARKLAND OR DEDICATE FEES IN LIEU OF THAT AND THAT'S PART OF YOUR SUBDIVISION ORDNANCE. BUT SOMETIMES A DEVELOPER MIGHT SAY, WELL, THAT'S TOO MUCH. I DON'T WANT TO DEDICATE THAT. BECAUSE THE CITY, YOU'RE ASKING TOO MUCH. AND SO THERE IS A PROCESS HERE WHICH GOES TO THE NAME OF ROUGH PROPORTIONALITY, WHICH IS A SUPREME COURT DECISION THAT ANY DEDICATION THAT A PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT HAS TO DO TO A MUNICIPALITY, TO A PUBLIC ENTITY, HAS TO BE IN ROUGH PROPORTIONALITY TO THE IMPACT THAT THE DEVELOPMENT IS HAVING ON THE MUNICIPALITY. SO THERE'S A PROCESS TO SHOW TO THE CITY THAT THERE ISN'T THAT PROPORTIONAL AMOUNT. TYPICALLY THESE ARE NOT PROCESSES THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE EVERYDAY. BUT WE WANTED TO PUT THE PROCESS IN THAT HAS BEEN TESTED BY ATTORNEYS, THAT MAKES SURE THAT IT GOES THROUGH A PROCESS THAT IS CLEAR, THAT IS UNDERSTANDABLE FROM BOTH PARTIES, AND REDUCES THE POTENTIAL INCIDENTS OF SPENDING ATTORNEYS' FEES. SO THAT IS THE BIGGEST PORTIONS OF IT. WE WANTED TO GET THINGS REORGANIZED. WE WANTED TO PROVIDE EXTRA PROTECTIONS FOR THE MUNICIPALITY TO MAKE THINGS MORE CLEAR. AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO HELP THE MUNICIPALITY GO FORWARD IN BEING ABLE TO PROCESS YOUR PLATS. AND AS YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GET A WHOLE LOT OF THEM, THAT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT NEEDS TO BE ON THERE. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR AND UP FRONT THAT YOU GET THE RIGHT INFORMATION FOR YOU TO YOU MAKE YOUR DECISIONS. WE'RE APPRECIATIVE OF ALL THE TIME AND EFFORT THAT YOUR BOARD, AS WELL AS YOUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HAS HELPED US IN GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS. AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. >> DO YOU WANT TO GIVE COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM? [F.3.B. Open Public Hearing and Receive Comment. ] AT THIS TIME, IT'S ONLY PUBLIC HEARING IS FOR COMMENTS, IF YOU'LL STEP UP TO THE MICROPHONE, STATE YOUR NAME. NO, YOU'RE ONLY MAKING COMMENTS TO THE COUNCIL. IT'S NOT A PUBLIC FORUM. >> I'M AFRAID TO MAKE -- 1527 -- I'M A LITTLE BIT RELUCTANT TO MAKE A COMMENT AFTER LISTENING TO STEPHEN. GOOD EXPLANATION. I GUESS MY CONCERN IS LET'S SAY YOU HAVE A DEVELOPER OR HE GOES THROUGH THESE STEPS AND THERE'S A IMPASSE THAT EITHER SIDE. WELL, GIVE IN. ARTHUR, LEGAL STEPS AVAILABLE TO BE TAKEN TO SEE OR IF YOU CUT DOWN TO PUSH AND SHOVE, WHO WINS? >> THE ATTORNEYS WIN. [00:30:03] [LAUGHTER] >> IF NOBODY ELSE HAS ANY COMMENTS, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:01 P.M. [F.3.C. Consider AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HUTCHINS, TEXAS, AMENDING CHAPTER 10 SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS OF THE CITY OF HUTCHINS CODE OF ORDINANCES REPEALING CHAPTER 10 IN ITS ENTIRETY AND REPLACING CHAPTER 10 SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS; PROVIDING A PENALTY CLAUSE; PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Ordinance 10-1235 ] >> OKAY, AT THIS TIME WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM C TO CONSIDER THE ORDINANCE. OKAY, LET ME SEE. THE SCREEN UP HERE. SO CONSIDER ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HUTCHINSON CHAPTER 10 SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS OF THE CITY OF HUDSON CODE OF ORDINANCE REPEALING CHAPTER 10 IN ITS ENTIRETY AND REPLACING CHAPTER 10 SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS. SO BEFORE YOU AS YOU HAVE ORDINANCE 2026, FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. >> I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE ORDINANCE 2026. >> SECOND. >> THERE'S BEEN EMOTION BY MR. ODOM AND A SECOND BY MR. ELMER TO IMPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 2026-10-1235. EVERYBODY PLEASE VOTE. AND THAT MOTION CARRIES, 5-0. >> YEAH, SO AT THIS TIME, ITEM [Item F.4 - F.6] OF THE PUBLIC HEARINGS ITEM FOR A, B, AND SEE ITEM FIVE, A.B. AND SEE AND ITEM SIX, A.B., C AD AND THEN C HAS BEEN TABLED AT THE REQUEST OF THE PROPERTY OWNER. IS SCHEDULED FOR A FUTURE MEETING. [F.7. A. Conduct a public hearing regarding a request for a rezone request by Sylvia Johnson with QSC Services, representing the property owner Dr. Cynthia Mickens Ross for a total acreage of approximately 3 acres on 3 tracts of land located in the Hutchins Acreage, and being part of Lots 19, 21, and 29. The three tracts of land are located at 105 Mills, 302 & 304 W. Palestine St. The rezone request is to change the zoning from the current (Single Family Residential 8.5) to a Planned Development (PD). ] SO AT THIS TIME WE MOVE ON TO ITEM SEVEN CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING A REQUEST FOR A REZONE REQUEST BY SYLVIA JOHNSON WITH Q SERVICES REPRESENTING THE PROPERTY OWNER DR. CYNTHIA MICKENS ROSS FOR TOTAL ACREAGE OF THE APPROXIMATELY 3 ACRES ON THREE TRACKS OF LAND LOCATED IN THE HUTCHINS ACREAGE AND BEING PART OF LOTS 1921 AND 29 THE THREE TRACTS OF LAND ARE LOCATED AT 105 MILLS, 302 AND 304 WEST PALESTINE. THE REQUEST IS TO CHANGE THE ZONING FROM CURRENT SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, 8.5 TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. THIS ITEM IS PRESENTED BY AIR BUILDING OFFICIAL BLAKEMORE. >> GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. HER TEAM ARE HERE TONIGHT AND THEY HAVE BEEN BEFORE YOU BEFORE WITH A PRESENTATION AND THERE WAS SOME MISSING ELEVATIONS THAT YOU WANTED TO SEE AND SO THEY DID SUBMIT A MORE DETAILED PLAN AND THAT IS PART OF YOUR PACKET HERE TONIGHT. THIS WENT BEFORE PNC AND SO TONIGHT WE, TO DISCUSS IT AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THIS PUBLIC HEARING OCTOBER 16TH. TONIGHT I WANT TO READ SOME OF THE VARIATIONS THAT THE ZONING HERE THEY'RE WANTING TO CHANGE IT FROM SF SEVEN OR 8.5 TO MULTIFAMILY AND RETAIL. AND IN Y'ALL'S PACKET. THAT WAS GIVEN TO Y'ALL, AND THERE IS A LIST OF DEVIATIONS FROM THE ZONING, AND I WANT TO READ SOME OF THOSE BECAUSE THE GOAL HERE IS TO GIVE AN ORDINANCE BEFORE Y'ALL, AND SO WITH THESE DEVIATIONS, YOU'RE EITHER GOING TO BE OKAY WITH IT OR YOU WANT TO MODIFY IT. AND SO THAT WILL BE PART OF THAT. AND SO THE BASE ZONING IS MULTIFAMILY. AND RETAIL. AND ? MULTIFAMILY RETAIL, RESIDENTIAL DENSITY. 32 DWELLING UNITS ON APPROXIMATELY 3 ACRES, WHICH IS ABOUT 10.7 UNITS PER ACRE, WHICH IS BELOW THAT DENSITY RATING THAT THE ORDINANCE PROVIDES, AND SO THE CONSIDERATION THERE IS TO ESTABLISH 32 UNITS AS THE MAXIMUM, UNLESS COUNCIL INTENDS OTHERWISE FOR THIS PEE DEE. THE MULTIFAMILY FRONT-YARD SETBACK REQUIREMENT AS THE BASE ZONING IS 30 FEET. THE APPLICANT REQUESTS 10 FEET. THAT IS A REDUCTION OF 20 FEET. AND AT ANY TIME THAT YOU ALL WANT TO SAY WE WANT TO MODIFY THAT OR WE'RE OKAY WITH THAT, WE WILL TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION FOR THE NEXT MEETING, OKAY? THE MULTIFAMILY YARD ADJACENT TO SINGLE FAMILY MULTIFAMILY BASE, ZONING INCLUDES A 60-FOOT SIDE YARD WHEN A BUILDING OVER ONE STORY IS ADJACENT TO A SINGLE FAMILY ZONING. AND THE APPLICANT PROPOSES REMOVING THAT ENHANCE REQUIREMENT THEY DID NOT PROVIDE [00:35:03] A SIDE-YARD SETBACK. BUT THE YOU ASSUMED IS THE 15-FOOT, WHICH IS PART OF THAT ZONING BASE. BUILDING SEPARATION, MULTIFAMILY BASE, WHICH IS 15 FEET FOR ONE STORY AND 20 FEET FOR TWO STORY BUILDINGS. THIS IS BUILDING SEPARATION OF THE SPACE BETWEEN THESE MULTIFAMILY UNITS. THE APPLICANT REQUEST 10 FEET SEPARATION. CHURCH MULTI PURPOSE, HEIGHT THAT WE FACE IDENTIFIED IN THE PACKET IS TWO STORIES WHICH IS 35 FEET THE PROPOSED BUILDING IS THREE STORIES, 45 FEET. THE CHURCH MULTI PURPOSE FRONT YARD THAT RETAIL BASE IDENTIFIED IS 25 FEET. THEY'RE PROPOSED IS 20 FEET. SO THAT IS A 5 FEET REDUCTION. >> CAN YOU REPEAT THAT ONE, PLEASE? >> THIS IS CHURCH MULTI-PURPOSE FRONT-YARD SETBACK AT THE BASE, ZONING IS 25 FEET. THEY HAVE PROPOSED 20 FEET. >> COACH, IS THE ZONING RESIDENTIAL? >> THE PD BASE ZONING IS GOING TO BE THE OVERLAY IS GOING TO BE MULTIFAMILY AND RETAIL. >> IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED RESIDENTIAL. >> IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED RESIDENTIAL. >> OKAY. >> AND THE ZONING CHANGE FOR THE PD IS GOING FROM PRESIDENTIAL TO A MULTIFAMILY RETAIL. OKAY. THAT RETAIL SIDE NEXT TO SINGLE FAMILY. IDENTIFIED THE 60-FOOT SETBACK FOR RETAIL USE. AND THEY HAVE NOT PROPOSED IF THEY'RE GOING TO KEEP THAT AS IS OR A SMALLER OR GREATER SETBACK THERE. AS WELL. THE PARKING, THEY CALCULATED 88 REQUIRED SPACES. AND CURRENTLY USES A 90-SEAT SANCTUARY, ASSUMPTION. BUT UNDER THEIR OBJECTIVE LIST, THEY HAVE 100 TO 300 SEATS AND THAT WOULD EXCEED THE PARKING COUNT. AND SO AS PART OF THE PEE DEE, WE SHOULD TIE THE FUTURE ASSEMBLY SEATING TO THAT PARKING OF 88 SPACES. OTHERWISE, WE'LL BE OUT OF PARKING SPACES THERE. YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? AND CYNTHIA IS HERE. DO YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION AS WELL? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. >> SO THEY MOVED IT FROM TWO STORIES TO THREE STORIES. ON THE FIRST REQUEST. >> YES, SIR. SO THE CHURCH/MULTI-PURPOSE BUILDING THEY ARE PROPOSING NOW A THREE STORY BUILDING. 34 FLOORS AT 35 FEET. -- -- THREE FLOORS, 35 FEET. >> CAN YOU SAY IF WE'RE OKAY, MOVING ON WITH THIS -- GIVE AN IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR? >> SO SHE HAS A PRESENTATION. AND SHE'LL PRESENT WHAT THEY'RE DOING. ALL OF THESE DEVIATIONS I'LL NEED TO NOTE WHETHER THE COUNCIL IS OKAY WITH THAT, OR DO YOU ALL WANT TO MODIFY THAT? IF Y'ALL DON'T WANT THREE STORIES WE NEED TO KNOW THAT SO WE CAN PUT THAT IN THE PEE DEE ORDINANCE. >> GO AHEAD. >> NO, YOU CAN GO AHEAD. >> I'M LIKE NOT LIKING THE THREE STORIES MYSELF. >> OKAY. >> I AGREE. I'M NOT FOR THE THREE STORIES EITHER. >> ARE YOU ALL OKAY WITH TWO STORIES? >> I'M OKAY WITH THE THREE STORIES I JUST NEED TO KNOW THAT THE REASON WHY WE WANT TO GO FROM THE TWO TO THE THREE. SO IF IT'S A REASON BEHIND IT, THEN I WOULD BE MORE IN TUNE -- >> AND CYNTHIA WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS FOR YOU ALL AS WELL. >> ALL RIGHT. >> SO AT THIS TIME, WE ARE ONLY -- WE'RE GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC [00:40:04] HEARING AT THAT DISCUSSION ON OCTOBER 19TH. >> WELL -- >> WE NEED TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR. >> DO WE STILL, IN ON WHAT WE LIKE OR DON'T LIKE? >> AS PART OF PRESENTATION, YES. THAT IS THE WAY I UNDERSTAND IT, YES. SO -- YES. >> OKAY. >> OKAY. OKAY, SO WHAT ARE WE TALKING ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THIS JUST -- SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OR ARE WE TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW I THINK BLAKE WAS SAYING WHAT WE LIKE OR DON'T LIKE. COMMENTS. >> BUT -- ISN'T -- I MEAN, ISN'T THE QUESTION, WHY DO WE GO FROM A THREE TO A TWO? >> THAT'S ONE OF THEM. >> THAT'S ONE OF THE DEVIATIONS. >> YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION TO PLUG IN? OKAY. >> BUT ARE WE STILL GOING -- WE STILL GOT SOME GOING ON BEALE STREET BACKING UP TWO OF THEM? LIKE IT WAS BEFORE? >> TWO STORY, THAT IS CORRECT, AND LAST TIME THEY WERE HERE, THEY DIDN'T HAVE ELEVATIONS THAT YOU WERE WANTING TO SEE, AND SO TONIGHT I BELIEVE THEY DO HAVE ELEVATIONS FOR YOU ALL TO SEE WHAT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE. AND. THIS IS A CONCEPTUAL -- SO IT'S CONCEPT. AND WITHIN THAT CONCEPT, YOU HAVE THE BASIC ZONING OF MULTIFAMILY AND RESIDENTIAL, WELL, THAT BASE ZONING IS WHAT THE PD IS GOING TO BASE OFF UNLESS THEY REQUIRE THE DEVIATIONS FROM THAT, AND SO IN THAT PACKAGE, THERE'S DEVIATIONS. YOU'LL HAVE THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR THE MULTIFAMILY AND THAT RETAIL AND SETBACK REQUIREMENTS, FOR EXAMPLE, AND SO THEY WANT MAYBE A SMALLER SETBACK SO THAT THE WHOLE PROJECT CAN. ON THAT LAND. >> AT FIRST, WE HAD THREE BACK UP ON THE WEST WALL AND THEN THEY WERE UNDERSTAND THERE WAS TWO ON MIDDLE STREET FACING THE OTHER. WELL, IT MAY BE UNTIL WE GET THERE. I AIN'T LIKING THAT ONE ON STREET. >> I NEED SOME CLARIFICATION. ARE WE IN THE PUBLIC HEARING OR NOT? I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. >> I THOUGHT WE WANTED TO MOVE THE PUBLIC HEARING UNTIL OCTOBE? >> SO WE ARE TWO,. >> WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE THE PRESENTATION TO THE COUNCIL ON THIS DAY AND THAT WE WOULD BE SEEKING APPROVAL ON THE PROJECT AND WE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE OTHER THING.
