I'M GONNA, UM, JUST DO A QUICK INTRODUCTION AND THEN, UM, OUR JOHN HAE WHO'S, UH, LEADING OUR TEAM ON THIS, IS GONNA WALK YOU THROUGH THE PRESENTATION, UM, THE BULK OF IT, AND THEN I'M GONNA COME UP AND TALK ABOUT THE SPECIAL AREA PLAN.
SO, AS YOU MENTIONED, THIS IS, UM, OUR ENVISION DUBLIN COMMUNITY PLAN.
UM, IT'S BEEN AN 18 MONTH PROCESS, UM, TO GET HERE, LED BY OUR STEERING COMMITTEE, AND WE'LL TALK THROUGH THAT A LITTLE BIT HERE IN A SECOND.
UM, BUT YEAH, HOPING TONIGHT TO GET YOUR FEEDBACK.
UM, AND YOUR, IF YOU'RE COMFORTABLE, UM, MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL IS OUR GOAL, UM, FOR THE EVENING.
BUT DEFINITELY WANNA HEAR FROM YOU ALL.
MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMENTS THAT WE'VE HEARD ALONG THE WAY ARE ADDRESSED, UM, SATISFACTORILY, UM, YOU KNOW, AS YOU ENVISION THEM, GIVEN THAT THIS IS, YOU KNOW, THE POLICY DOCUMENT THAT GUIDES US, UM, IN PRETTY MUCH EVERY DECISION THAT WE'RE MAKING.
SO YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA REFERENCE THESE MATERIALS, UM, AND PLANNING REPORTS AND AS PART OF OUR REVIEW.
SO WE DEFINITELY WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE HITTING THE MARK, UM, FOR, FOR WHAT'S WITHIN THE PLAN, OBVIOUSLY.
SO, WITH THAT, I'M GONNA TURN OVER TO JOHN, UM, TO, UM, WALK US THROUGH, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE'VE BEEN AND SORT OF OUR, OUR KEY KEY COMPONENTS FOR THIS.
AND HAPPY TO, AS YOU SAID, ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
UH, IT'S GOOD TO BE HERE AGAIN, UH, UH, IN THIS BUILDING.
AND AT THIS MEETING IN PARTICULAR THIS EVENING, UH, JOHN HAE, UH,
[00:05:01]
WITH THE CONSULTANT FIRM, HAE LEVINE ASSOCIATES.UH, HAE LEVINE, UH, WAS THE LEAD CONSULTANT OF A TEAM OF CONSULTANTS WORKING CLOSELY WITH, UH, CITY STAFF, ALL THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS, UH, OTHER CITY INITIATIVES ON PLANNING ENDEAVORS, UH, AND THE, UH, STEERING COMMITTEE OVER THE LAST 18 MONTHS, UH, TO PREPARE THE COMMUNITY PLAN.
THE COMMUNITY PLAN AS IT'S DRAFTED RIGHT NOW IS 200 PLUS PAGES.
UM, AND WHEN I SAY PLUS, IT'S PROBABLY TWO 50, UH, OR A LITTLE MORE.
SO IT'S A LOT OF CONTENT, A LOT OF TEXT, A LOT OF RECOMMENDATIONS, A LOT OF GRAPHICS, A LOT OF MAPS, A LOT OF INFOGRAPHICS.
A LOT OF PHOTOGRAPHS, A LOT OF VISUALIZATIONS.
UH, SO THE PURPOSE OF THIS EVENING'S, UH, PUBLIC HEARING AT THIS POINT, UH, IS NOT TO PRESENT THE ENTIRE THING IN DETAIL.
'CAUSE WE'D BE HERE TILL NEXT THURSDAY.
UM, BUT TO PROVIDE AN INTRODUCTORY OVERVIEW OF THE ENTIRE DOCUMENT, UH, UH, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HAS BEEN INVOLVED ALONG THE WAY WITH PRESENTATIONS AND DISCUSSIONS, UH, UH, GARNERING YOUR INPUT ALONG THE WAY SO THAT STAFF AND THE CONSULTANT TEAM, UH, COULD INCORPORATE YOUR FEEDBACK AS IT WAS DEVELOPED.
UH, SO THAT THE DRAFT GOT HERE THIS EVENING, YOU SHOULD SEE YOUR FINGERPRINTS ON IT.
AND, AND, AND WE WERE ABLE TO INCORPORATE YOUR FEEDBACK ALONG THE WAY.
SO, UH, MY, UH, INITIAL, UH, FORAY INTO THIS, THIS EVENING IS A 20 MINUTE PRESENTATION OR SO TO SORT OF GET IT ON THE RECORD TO PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW AND AN ORIENTATION, UH, TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND EVERYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE.
UM, THAT SAID, UH, WHEN WE GET TO THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS OR DISCUSSION SECTION, WE CAN, UH, SPEND HOWEVER MUCH TIME IN DETAIL LOOKING AT PARAGRAPHS, PAGES, INDIVIDUAL SENTENCES, WORDING, WHATEVER YOU WOULD LIKE.
BUT THE FIRST THING I WANNA DO IS SORT OF, UH, GET IT OUT THERE AND, AND PROVIDE, UH, A HIGHLIGHT OF WHAT THE DOCUMENT IS.
UH, SO AS JENNY SAID AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS, IT'S BEEN AN 18 MONTH PLUS PROCESS.
UH, UH, I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE, I'LL SAY IT NOW.
COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROCESS, OR ANY PLANNING PROCESS IS THREE THINGS.
DETERMINING WHERE YOU ARE TO START, WHERE IT IS YOU WANT TO GO, AND WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET THERE.
UH, ESSENTIALLY THAT CORE STRUCTURE HAS BEEN, UH, UNDERTAKEN OVER THE LAST 18 MONTHS BY LOOKING AT THESE DIFFERENT STEPS, PROJECT INITIATION AND ASSESSMENT OF EXISTING CONDITIONS, UH, VISIONING AND GOAL SETTING, UH, UH, ESTABLISHING AND LOOKING AND EXAMINING DIFFERENT LAND USES AND GROWTH SCENARIOS, UH, DEVELOPING SPECIAL AREA PLANS.
AND JENNY WILL GO THROUGH THAT WHEN I GET DONE.
GOING THROUGH THE OVERVIEW, UH, OUR PRELIMINARY FRAMEWORK PLANS, WHICH COVER TRANSPORTATION, UTILITIES, THE ENVIRONMENT, LAND USE ENERGY, SEVERAL DIFFERENT THINGS.
UH, AND THEN THE DRAFT AND FINAL PLAN DOCUMENT, WHICH IS WHERE WE ARE THIS EVENING.
UH, AGAIN, AS YOU CAN SEE UP THERE ON THE TIMELINE, IT'S, IT'S BEEN ABOUT AN 18 MONTH PROCESS, WHICH IS TYPICAL, UH, FOR COMMUNITY PLANS.
A COMMUNITY PLAN, AS STATED, IS A CRUCIAL DOCUMENT FOR THE CITY.
IT'S NOT REGULATORY, IT IS NOT ZONING.
IT DOESN'T DICTATE WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH YOUR PROPERTY, BUT IT IS A FOUNDATION FOR DECISION MAKING.
UH, IT GIVES YOU THE FOOTING BY WHICH THE CITY CAN GO ABOUT AND EVALUATE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS, UH, UM, UH, LENDS CREDENCE TO APPROVAL OR DENIAL RECOMMENDATIONS, UH, IS A FOUNDATION WITH WHICH TO GO ABOUT.
LOOKING AT YOUR REGULATIONS, YOUR PROCESSES, TO SEE IF THEY NEED TO BE RECALIBRATED, UH, TO BETTER FIT YOUR VISION.
UH, IT IS A MEANS BY WHICH YOU HAVE THE FOOTING TO GO AFTER DIFFERENT GRANT OR FUNDING AT THE LOCAL, STATE, FEDERAL LEVELS, DEPENDING ON THE INITIATIVE YOU'RE TRYING TO PURSUE.
UH, IT ALLOWS YOU TO COORDINATE WITH REGIONAL, STATE, AND OTHER LOCAL JURISDICTIONS IN PLANNING AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS.
AND IT ALLOWS YOU TO BEGIN TO, UM, COORDINATE BETTER, UH, BUDGETING, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT, AND OTHER EFFORTS AND INITIATIVES OF THE CITY.
UH, IT INCLUDED A VERY RIGOROUS PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS, UH, WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THE STEERING COMMITTEE, UH, INCLUDING PUBLIC OFFICIALS.
UH, THE DRAFT REPRESENTS WHAT WE HEARD.
UH, THIS WASN'T SPAWNED OUT OF ANECDOTAL CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN STAFF AND THE CONSULTANT TEAM, OR WHAT MIGHT HAVE WORKED IN SOME OTHER COMMUNITY THAT WE WORKED IN ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
UH, BUT THE FOUNDATION FOR STARTING AND DEVELOPING THE CONTENT FOR THIS PLAN WAS BASED OFF OF COMMUNITY FEEDBACK.
AND IT HAS BEEN FROM THE BEGINNING.
UH, AT THE END OF THE DAY, UH, THIS IS NOT A HOUSE LEVINE PLAN.
IT'S NOT EVEN A, UH, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PLAN OR A CITY COUNCIL PLAN.
IT HAS TO BE A PLAN THAT REFLECTS THE INPUT FROM THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
UH, AND IT'S THROUGH THAT SORT OF APPROACH OF COMMUNITY STEWARDSHIP THAT'S GONNA GIVE THIS VIABLE LEGS OVER THE NEXT DECADE OR SO.
AND IF IT DOESN'T HAVE THAT TOUCH, UH, AND REFLECTION OF WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE COMMUNITY, UH, IT'S JUST NOT GONNA HAVE THE LEGS IT NEEDS.
UH, AND SO WE ARE VERY DILIGENT ABOUT MAKING SURE WE INCORPORATED WHAT WE HEARD.
UH, IT REPRESENTS THE CORE OF THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING WHAT WE, HOW, WHERE WE LIVE, UH, HOW WE WORK, AND INTER HOW WE INTERACT WITH EACH OTHERS.
UH, AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION IS A VITAL USER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
UH, AGAIN, YOU MAY BE ONE OF THE MOST PROLIFIC USERS OF THIS
[00:10:01]
DOCUMENT.UM, YOU STAFF AND CITY COUNCIL, UH, AS DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS ARE PUT FORTH, UM, THIS PLAN SHOULD HELP YOU MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS.
AND WE DON'T GET TO MAKE NOBODY IN THE US REALLY BROAD, SWEEPING, DRACONIAN SORTS OF, UM, UH, DEVELOPMENTS OR IMPROVEMENTS.
WE SORT OF GET A SHOT AT THINGS INCREMENTALLY OVER TIME AS DEVELOPMENTS ARE PROPOSED.
AND IT IS BEING CONSISTENT TO A VISION OVER TIME, AS APPLIED TO INCREMENTAL DECISIONS THAT A DECADE GOES BY, AND YOU REALLY MOVE THE NEEDLE.
IF YOU'RE NOT GUIDED BY A VISION AS INCREMENTAL STEPS COME ON BOARD, THE COLLECTIVE IMPACT OVER TIME ISN'T WHAT IT SHOULD BE.
AND, AND THE PLAN HELPS EVERYBODY STAY ON TRACK.
PRIVATE SECTOR, PUBLIC SECTOR, NOT-FOR-PROFIT SECTOR, STAFF, OFFICIALS, EVERYBODY.
SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT IN THAT REGARD.
UH, UH, AGAIN, PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT.
STAFF DID A LOT OF IT, WHETHER IT WAS, UH, ONLINE ENGAGEMENT, ONLINE MAPPING, ONLINE SURVEYS, UH, LOCAL EVENTS, FESTIVALS, POINTS OF CONTACT AT EXISTING, UH, THINGS THAT WERE BEING DONE IN THE COMMUNITY, SORT OF THAT IMMERSIVE OR POINT OF CONTACT, ENGAGEMENT, OPEN HOUSES, WORKSHOPS.
UH, WE HELD, UH, I THINK NINE DIFFERENT STEERING COMMITTEE MEETINGS OVER THE LAST 18 MONTHS.
A LOT OF WORK UPDATE WORKING SESSIONS WITH CITY COUNCIL PLANNING COMMISSION, UM, UH, STEERING COMMITTEE, UH, SEVERAL DIFFERENT POINTS OF CONTACT FOR RESIDENTS, BUSINESS COMMUNITY, AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS.
SO WE ENDEAVORED TO CAST A WIDE NET.
UH, WE TRIED VERY DILIGENTLY TO MAKE SURE ANYBODY WHO WANTED TO PARTICIPATE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO.
WE MADE SURE THAT WHEN WE HEARD PEOPLE, WE RECORDED WHAT PEOPLE SAID OR TOOK NOTE OF IT, UH, AND PROVIDED SUMMARIES OF DIFFERENT ENGAGEMENT EVENTS.
SO IF SOMEONE WAS ABLE TO BE AT AN EVENT AND PARTICIPATE, THEY COULD CHECK BACK THE NEXT WEEK AND SAY, I LOOKED AT THE SUMMARY.
THIS ACCURATELY CAPTURED WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT.
UH, AND FOR PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND, THEY COULD JUMP ON THE ONLINE PORTAL, LOOK AT IT AND SAY, I WAS NOT LAST WEEK'S MEETING, I WANT TO SEE WHAT WAS SAID.
AND THEY CAN LOOK AND SEE THAT SUMMARY.
SO WE REALLY ENDEAVORED TO BE, AGAIN, UH, RESPONSIVE TO AND REFLECTIVE OF THE VOICES THAT WE HEARD, AND TRY TO CREATE AS MANY OPPORTUNITIES AS POSSIBLE FOR PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE.
UH, STEERING COMMITTEE WAS CRUCIAL AND SUCH A, A REALLY GUIDING FORCE OR A SOUNDING BOARD THROUGHOUT THIS, UH, PROJECT.
UH, WE HAD MEMBERS, UH, A COUPLE OF, UH, ELECTED OFFICIALS.
WE HAD A COUPLE MEMBERS FROM THIS BODY, UH, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
WE HAD REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
WE HAD LOCAL BUSINESS LEADERS.
WE HAD PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS AND PERSPECTIVES, DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDER GROUPS.
THE IDEA WAS YOU CAN'T GET AN ENTIRE CITY POPULATION IN A ROOM, UH, UH, NINE TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR AND A HALF TO TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING, RIGHT? YOU WANNA GET AS MUCH PARTICIPATION AS POSSIBLE.
BUT THE STEERING COMMITTEE WITH THIS DIVERSE OF A PERSPECTIVE, UH, AND INSIGHT, UM, ALLOWED US TO HAVE A GREAT SOUNDING BOARD.
THIS IS WHERE WE ROLLED UP OUR SLEEVES.
WE TALKED ABOUT THINGS A MONTH LATER, WE TALKED ABOUT IT AGAIN, THIS IS WHERE WE THREW STUFF ON THE WALL.
WE SAID, IS THIS A GOOD IDEA? ARE WE ON TRACK? ARE WE NOT ON TRACK? UH, THE STEERING COMMITTEE MEMBERS WERE VERY ACTIVE, VERY ENGAGED AND PREPARED.
WHENEVER WE MET, THEY TOLD US WHAT THEY LIKED, WHAT THEY DIDN'T LIKE, WHAT THEY WANTED TO SEE MORE RESEARCH GIVEN TO.
AND OVER THE COURSE OF THIS CADENCE BACK AND FORTH WITH THIS GROUP, UH, BEING A TRUE WORKING GROUP, WE WERE ABLE TO HELP, UH, DEVELOP, UH, THE COMMUNITY PLAN DRAFT THAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING.
SO AGAIN, WE MET NINE TIMES, UM, AND HAD HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS LONG DISCUSSION.
IT WOULDN'T BE UNCOMMON FOR THIS GROUP TO HAVE A THREE HOUR WORKING SESSION, AND THEN A MONTH LATER HAVE ANOTHER THREE HOUR WORKING SESSION TO REALLY DELVE DEEPLY INTO THE WEEDS ON EVERY ASPECT OF THIS PLAN.
SO, UH, HATS OFF TO THE STEERING COMMITTEE.
THEY DID A YEOMAN'S JOB ON THIS PROCESS.
UH, OVERALL COLLABORATION, UH, INCLUDED TRANSPORTATION, MOBILITY, UTILITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE PARKS, AND OPEN SPACE AND COMMUNITY FACILITIES, EVEN THOUGH THOUGHT OF AS A LAND USE OR A PLANNING DOCUMENT, UH, PLANNING DOVETAILS AND TENTACLES INTO EVERY ASPECT OF WHAT THE CITY DOES.
YOU'RE NOT LOOKING AT LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT.
IF YOU'RE NOT LOOKING AT UTILITIES, YOU'RE NOT LOOKING AT LANDUS AND DEVELOPMENT IF YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT TRANSPORTATION, AND YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT POPULATION INCREASES IF YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT PARKS AND RECREATION AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
SO ALL OF THESE THINGS DOVETAIL AND THEY WERE, UH, KEY COMPONENTS OF COLLABORATION THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.
SO, OTHER DOCUMENTS THAT WE DOVETAILED WITH AND LOOKED AT WITH SUSTAINABILITY PLAN, PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN, THE AREA HOUSING STUDY THAT WAS DONE FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, STRATEGIC PLAN, AND THE METRO CENTER IMPLEMENTATION RAIL STATION AND EAST BRIDGE STUDIES.
SO A LOT OF CROSS POLLINATION, IF YOU WILL.
UH, SO AGAIN, TO GET TO THIS POINT, UH, THIS EVENING, BESIDES A LOT OF OUTREACH AND CONNECTING, UH, CONVERSATIONS ALONG THE
[00:15:01]
WAY, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, UH, UH, HAD AN INTRODUCTION AND A REVIEW OF THIS, UH, ON, UH, MARCH 11TH, UM, ACTUALLY APRIL 11TH, SORRY ABOUT THAT.ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD ON THE 17TH, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL WORKING SESSION FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS ON THE 29TH.
UH, THE STEERING COMMITTEE HAD ITS LAST LOOK AT IT ON THE 30TH, UH, AND CITY COUNCIL ON THE 20TH.
SO, UM, AND THEN, UH, ALSO, UH, PROVIDED ONE-ON-ONE MEETINGS WITH PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION MEMBERS WHO WANTED THEM, UH, AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO WANTED THEM.
SO SOMETIMES OUTSIDE OF A GROUP SETTING, IT'S NICE US TO SIT DOWN, UH, WITH STAFF AND, AND GET INTO THE WEEDS ON SOMETHING THAT MAY BE OF PARTICULAR INTEREST TO YOU.
AND IT'S NICE TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND STAFF, UH, FACILITATED ALL OF THOSE.
SO, UH, SEVERAL DIFFERENT GROUPS, ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNING BODIES, UH, UH, APPOINTED AND ELECTED OFFICIALS, UH, HAVE TOUCHED AND ALREADY LOOKED AT THIS DRAFT DOCUMENT.
UH, AND AS WE GOT THIS INPUT, WE DIDN'T JUST SAY, OKAY, THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT, AND MOVE ON.
WE MADE THEIR, THE CHANGES OR DISCUSSED IT FURTHER TO GET DIRECTION THAT, UH, MADE ENDED UP RESULTING IN AMENDMENTS TO THE TEXT, AMENDMENTS TO SOME OF THE PLANS, AMENDMENTS TO THE GRAPHICS.
UH, SO THE DOCUMENT, UH, WAS RECALIBRATED INCREMENTALLY ALONG THE WAY AS WE GOT FEEDBACK FROM THESE GROUPS.
AND THAT'S WHAT WAS SO IMPORTANT.
SO, THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY SURPRISES THIS EVENING, AND YOU SHOULD ALL BE VERY FAMILIAR WITH, UH, THE DOCUMENT IN FRONT OF YOU.
UH, THE SUCCESS OF THE PLAN, THERE IS A LOT, AND I'M JUST GONNA GO THROUGH THESE PRETTY QUICKLY, BUT, UH, THE BREADTH OF PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WAS REALLY GREAT, UH, AND IT WAS A PRIORITY AT THE BEGINNING.
AND I THINK, UM, UH, THIS INITIATIVE DID A VERY GOOD JOB, UH, REPRESENTING DUBLIN'S, UH, COMMITMENT TO, UH, REACHING OUT TO PEOPLE AND LISTENING TO PEOPLE, UH, INTEGRATES THE CITY'S STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK.
THE CITY HAS DONE A LOT OF GOOD WORK FOR PLANNING AND ESTABLISHING A FRAMEWORK OF STRATEGIES AND PRIORITIES THAT WERE IMPORTANT TO THE CITY.
WE DIDN'T WANNA LEAVE THAT ON THE CARTING ROOM FLOOR.
SO THAT WAS ONE OF OUR CHARGES AT THE BEGINNING, WAS TO INTEGRATE THAT AS SORT OF A GUIDING THEME THROUGHOUT THE, THE DOCUMENT ESTABLISH SIGNIFICANT TIES TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY.
WE ALSO DID A LOT OF FISCAL MODELING THROUGHOUT THIS.
THAT TIED BACK TO THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY AS WELL.
UH, CONTINUE SORT OF THE FORWARD THINKING, LAND USE RECOMMENDATIONS AND PLANNING PRINCIPLES, UH, CREATES DETAILED LAND USE CATEGORIES WITH CHARACTER FINDING DESCRIPTIONS.
OUR LAND USE PLAN INTO THIS IS NOT JUST A COLORED MAP.
AND THEN THE EXPLANATION FOR THOSE COLORS IS A LITTLE SQUARE THAT SAYS SINGLE FAMILY OR PARK, OR INDUSTRY, LIKE A LOT OF PLANS DO.
AND LEGALLY THAT MEETS THE LITMUS TEST, BUT IT DOESN'T MEET THE DUBLIN LITMUS TEST.
SO, LAND USE CATEGORIES FOR THIS, UH, WERE DELINEATED WITH PHOTOGRAPHS, TEXT, UM, UH, CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS, BUILT FORM DESCRIPTIONS, PARKING OPEN SPACE.
SO ANYBODY WHO'S WONDERING WHAT WE MEAN BY MIXED USE CAN LOOK AT THIS AND SEE PHOTOGRAPHS, EXPLANATIONS, BUILT FORM, PARKING, ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS.
IT IS A VERY ROBUST LAND USE CATEGORY.
LAYOUT, PLANS FOR THE WESTERN GROWTH AREA WITH LAND USE, MOBILITY, TRANSPORTATION AND UTILITIES.
YOUR PREVIOUS COMMUNITY PLAN, OR EARMARKED MUCH OF THAT AREA AS JUST AGRICULTURE OR OPEN SPACE, IT DIDN'T EVEN VENTURE INTO DESIGNATING THAT AREA.
SO WE DON'T HAVE THESE VAST WESTERN GROWTH AREAS DESIGNATED AS AGRICULTURE.
WE ANTICIPATE WHAT THAT DEVELOPMENT COULD LOOK LIKE.
UH, DIVERSIFIES ECONOMIC LAND USES TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE.
OFFICE MARKETS ARE CHANGING, INDUSTRIAL MARKETS ARE CHANGING.
MIXED USE MARKETS ARE CHANGING.
WE DIDN'T RELY ON THE OLD LAND USE NOMENCLATURE AND MARKETS OF 20 YEARS AGO, UH, WHEN ONLINE RETAIL AND WORK FROM HOME ARE TWO EXAMPLES OF THINGS THAT HAVE DRAMATICALLY CHANGED THE LANDSCAPE.
WE TOOK THOSE AND INCORPORATED THEM INTO NEW ECONOMIC APPROACHES TO SOME OF THESE TRADITIONALLY, UH, NOT RESPONSIBLY DEVELOPED PLANS.
SO, UM, WE REALLY TOOK A, A HARD SHOT.
UH, I LOOK AT, UH, THE NEW, UH, MARKET REALITIES, UH, INTENSIFIED AND DIVERSIFIED DESIRED RESIDENTIAL AND KEY AREAS.
A LOT OF THEIR COMMUNITY HAS ESTABLISHED BEAUTIFUL SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED, HEAVILY WOODED, RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.
THAT IS A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF YOUR DNA WITH YOUR OPEN SPACE.
WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO CHANGE THAT, BUT TO SECURE THOSE AS A BIG PART OF DUBLIN GOING FORWARD.
THAT SAID, WE IDENTIFIED OPPORTUNITIES WHERE DIFFERENT TYPES OF RESIDENTIAL COULD BE PROVIDED, MISSING, MIDDLE MIXED USE, TOWN HOMES, DUPLEXES, UH, ADU, OTHER SORTS OF THINGS FOR PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T WANT A SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOME, UH, WHETHER THEY BE ENTERING THE JOB MARKET OR EXITING THE JOB MARKET, OR NEW YOUNG FAMILIES OR INDIVIDUALS OR RETIREES WHO WANTED TO AGE IN PLACE.
WE MADE SURE THE PLAN ACCOMMODATED A WIDE RANGE OF RESIDENTIAL USES WHILE BEING RESPECTFUL OF THE CHARACTER OF YOUR EXISTING RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.
UH, PROVIDED TOOLS TO SUPPORT THE CITY'S HOUSING AND DEVELOPMENT GOALS.
SOME OF THAT I JUST WENT INTO CREATED SPECIFIC MIXED USE CATEGORIES.
WE'VE LEANED PRETTY HEAVILY INTO THE NOTION OF MIXED USE.
MIXED USE, AS YOU KNOW, WITH THE DIAZ.
AND I THINK MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN THE
[00:20:01]
AUDIENCE KNOW, UH, THAT IS, UH, EITHER WHETHER VERTICALLY STRIATED IN A BUILDING WITH RESTAURANTS OR COMMERCIAL ON THE GROUND FLOOR AND RESIDENTIAL ABOVE, OR A NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE APPROACH, WHICH MIGHT INCLUDE A SMALL SITE THAT HAVE A MIX OF USES IN SMALL, SEPARATE BUILDINGS.UH, IT PROVIDES MORE FLEXIBILITY, MORE MARKET CREATIVITY, UH, AND IS A WAY TO ADDRESS A LOT OF THE ISSUES AND POLICIES GOING FORWARD.
SO WE REALLY LEANED INTO MIXED USE, AND WE HAVE ACTUALLY FOUR MIXED USE CATEGORIES IN THE PLAN.
UM, UH, OUTLINE STRATEGIC GROWTH APPROACH, SHIFTS IN MOBILITY.
TRADITIONALLY MOBILITY PRIORITIZED, UH, VEHICULAR TRANSPORTATION, AND THEN TEAR DROPPED DOWN.
UH, THERE WAS A PARADIGM SHIFT THAT PUTS BICYCLE AND WALKING FIRST, UH, AND THEN YOU FURTHER GO DOWN TOWARD TRANSPORTATION IS, AND THIS WAS A BIG SHIFT.
SO IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THERE ISN'T A PRIORITY TO ACCOMMODATE ALL MODES OF TRANSPORTATION, BUT IT BEGINS TO PRIORITIZE INDIVIDUAL MOBILITY AND ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AS A KEY COMPONENT.
SO THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A PARADIGM SHIFT.
ACTUALLY A BIG PARADIGM SHIFT, UH, UH, CREATES A MULTIMODAL THOROUGHFARE PLAN, CREATES STREET TYPOLOGIES.
ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS I THINK ARE NICE THINGS IN THIS DOCUMENT IS THE STREET TYPOLOGIES JUST AREN'T LINES ON A MAP.
IT'S A, THIS IS A LOCAL STREET.
BUT YOU CAN GET INTO THIS AND YOU LOOK AT DESCRIPTIONS, YOU CAN LOOK AT PHOTOGRAPHS, YOU CAN GET CROSS DIRECTS, CROSS SECTIONS, WHAT THE BIKE PATH WOULD LOOK LIKE, WHAT THE MEDIUM WOULD LOOK LIKE, WHAT THE PLANTING WOULD LOOK LIKE, THE PARKWAY WOULD LOOK LIKE FOR EVERY TYPE OF STREET OR EVERY TYPE OF TREE OR STREET THAT COULD EXIST IN THE CITY.
SO THE, THE ROADWAY TYPOLOGY IS REALLY SOMETHING YOU DON'T SEE IN A LOT OF PLANTS, AND IT'S VERY, VERY THOROUGH HERE.
AND I THINK IT CAPTURES A LOT OF THE CHARACTER OF THE CITY.
UH, UM, MODIFY SPECIAL AREA PLANS.
UH, JENNY'S GONNA GO THROUGH THAT IN A LITTLE BIT.
YOUR PREVIOUS COMMUNITY PLAN, AND OVER THE YEARS, I THINK YOU'VE DEVELOPED NINE DIFFERENT, IS THAT RIGHT? NINE DIFFERENT SPECIAL AREA PLANS.
WE'VE COLLAPSED THOSE DOWN INTO SIX.
UM, AND, UM, UH, JENNY WILL GO THROUGH THOSE THAT PROVIDES A MORE DETAILED AND SPECIFIC LOOK AT CERTAIN GEOGRAPHIC AREAS OF THE CITY.
SOME AREAS OF A COMMUNITY DON'T CHANGE A LOT OVER TIME, AND YOU WANT THAT LIKE, ESTABLISHED SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD.
A BEAUTIFUL REGIONAL PARK OR CITYWIDE PARK.
SOME OF YOUR MIXED USE AREAS OR SOME OF YOUR EMPLOYMENT DISTRICTS, YOU WOULD EXPECT THAT THOSE WOULD CHANGE A DECENT AMOUNT.
UM, AND THESE SPECIAL AREA PLANS GET INTO THAT LEVEL OF SPECIFICITY, THAT PARCEL BY PARCEL, UH, STREET SCAPE, ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN, AESTHETIC, UH, LAND USE SORT OF PERSPECTIVE.
UH, AND THEN, UH, MODIFY SPECIAL PLANS AGAIN TO GO TO CITY COUNCIL'S GOALS AND OBJECTIVE.
SO, UH, IT'S A LONG-WINDED, SORT OF HIT LIST OF SOME OF THE TOP THINGS IN THE DOCUMENT.
THIS IS THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AS DRAFTED.
AND AGAIN, FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE, I THINK 14 OR 17 PLUS LAND USE CATEGORIES, EACH ONE IS DEFINED ON A HALF A PAGE WITH PHOTOGRAPHS, LENGTHY TEXT BUILT FORM, AND CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS, DEVELOPMENT DESCRIPTIONS, PARKING, ENVIRONMENTAL, ET CETERA.
UH, I WON'T GO INTO THE DETAILS OF THIS.
WE CAN, IF YOU WANT, WE'VE BEEN THROUGH IT BEFORE.
THIS FUTURE LAND USE PLAN WAS DEVELOPED BY LOOKING AT THREE ALTERNATIVE SCENARIOS.
UH, AND WHAT CAME OUT OF THAT WAS A HYBRID OR PREFERRED LAND USE SCENARIO.
EACH ONE OF THESE WAS TESTED AGAINST TRANSPORTATION, UTILITIES, AND FISCAL IMPACT.
SO THE PREFERRED SELECTION WAS NOT ANECDOTAL.
WE MADE SURE IT WOULD WORK FROM SEVERAL PERSPECTIVES.
UH, WHAT'S DRIVING AROUND ON THE GROUND, WHAT'S WORKING UNDER THE GROUND, AND DOES THE MONEY WORK? DOES IT, DOES IT PENCIL OUT? SO WE LOOK AT ALL OF THESE, UM, AND THE SCENARIOS LOOKED AT EVERYTHING STARTING WITH YOUR EXISTING ADOPTED PLANS AS ONE SCENARIO, AND THEN DIFFERENT SCENARIOS LOOKING AT DIFFERENT LEVELS OF INTENSIFICATION AT THE CITY'S CORE AND DIFFERENT LEVELS OF INDUSTRIAL AND OR RESIDENTIAL USE IN THE WESTERN GROWTH AREA.
SO, UH, THERE'S ALSO A DRAFT MULTIMODAL THOROUGH FIRE PLAYER PLAN, UH, THAT STAFF WORKED TOGETHER WITH KIMLEY CORN.
UH, IF, AGAIN, IF WE GET INTO ANY LEVEL OF DETAILED QUESTIONS, UM, STAFF HOUSE LEVINE FOR PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT STUFF, UH, OR KIMLEY HORN OR, OR YOUR OWN CITY, STAFFORD UTILITIES, UH, WE'RE ALL HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU WANT.
BUT THIS WAS A BIG PART OF THE PLAN TO MAKE SURE THAT TRANSPORTATION DOVETAILED WITH LAND USE.
UH, IF ONE OF THOSE TWO THINGS DOESN'T WORK, UH, BEFORE TOO LONG, THE OTHER THING DOES NOT WORK.
AND SO WE MADE SURE IT ALL DOES.
UH, THIS IS THE CHAPTER LAYOUT.
THERE ARE 12 DIFFERENT CHAPTERS OF THE PLAN HERE.
THEY ARE INTRODUCTION, COMMUNITY PROFILE, VISION AND GOALS, LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT, HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOODS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, MOBILITY AND TRANSPORTATION, COMMUNITY FACILITIES, UTILITIES, NATURAL RESOURCES, AND IN THE ENVIRONMENT, SPECIAL AREA PLAN UPDATES, AND THEN IMPLEMENTATION.
UH, SO THIS IS THE FORMAT OR THE BREAKDOWN OF THE DIFFERENT CHAPTERS.
NOW, WHAT I'M GONNA DO WITH YOU IS JUST GO THROUGH AND TOUCH A COUPLE OF HIGHLIGHTS FOR EACH CHAPTER.
AND AGAIN, WHEN WE GET TO Q AND A OR DISCUSSION,
[00:25:01]
WE CAN GO INTO DETAIL IN ANY ONE OF THESE AS MUCH AS YOU WANT.UH, SO KEY TOPICS DISCUSSED WERE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, MISSING MIDDLE CONSERVATION DESIGN, AND PLACEMAKING.
THESE ARE TERMS WE HEARD THROUGHOUT.
ALL OF THESE HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED, UH, TO GREAT DEGREE INTO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OR INTO THE COMMUNITY PLAN, MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT.
I TALKED A LITTLE BIT MORE, MORE ABOUT HOW THIS PLAN REALLY LEANS INTO MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT IN A FEW AREAS.
YOUR TRAIL SYSTEM IS PHENOMENAL, AND YOUR SIGNATURE TRAIL IS A, IS A HALLMARK OF THE COMMUNITY.
UH, UH, WE WERE REQUESTED TO PUT IN SORT OF ADDITIONAL ILLUSTRATIVE PLANS AND GRAPHICS AND CHAPTER ORDER PICTURE AND, AND SOME MINOR TEXT CHANGES.
SO THIS IS WHAT WE HEARD FROM A LOT OF THE REVIEW COMMENTS, WHERE WE WENT BACK AND MODIFIED THE DOCUMENT TO REFLECT ALL OF THIS INPUT.
AND THESE ARE SORT OF SUMMARY, BUT THERE WAS A LOT OF DETAIL UNDERNEATH EACH ONE OF THESE.
AND ALL OF THOSE, THAT FEEDBACK GOT PUT INTO THE PLAN, THE DRAFT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU, SO AGAIN, I'LL JUST GO THROUGH THESE PRETTY QUICKLY.
UH, UH, INTRODUCTION CHAPTER, UM, REALLY TALKS ABOUT THE COMMUNITY PLAN, HOW WE USE IT, WHAT THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WAS, WHAT A PLAN IS, WHY YOU HAVE ONE.
UH, AND THE PROCESS THAT WAS UNDERTAKEN, IT WAS MODIFIED TO PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WORKING WITH OTHER JURISDICTIONS AND THE ROLE OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE BASED ON FEEDBACK.
THIS IS SORT OF A SNAPSHOT OF DUBLIN.
IF FIVE YEARS FROM NOW SOMEONE IS LOOKING AT THIS DOCUMENT, THEY OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO SAY LIKE, BOY, WHAT WAS GOING ON AT THE TIME THIS PLAN WAS DEVELOPED FIVE YEARS AGO? OH, THIS PROFILE PROVIDES THAT HOUSING, INVENTORY, RETAIL OFFICE, INDUSTRY GROWTH.
THEY CAN SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON.
AND IN THIS PLAN, WE MODIFIED IT TO ENHANCE HOW THE CITY IS FISCALLY MINDED, UH, AND THE EMPHASIS ON BALANCE OF LAND USES AND REMOTE WORKING.
SO WE WORK THAT INTO THIS BASED OFF OF FEEDBACK.
UH, VISION AND GOALS PROVIDES RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EACH PLAN.
IT'S SORT OF WHAT YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE ULTIMATELY, UH, OR IN AN IDEAL SITUATION, 10 TO 20 YEARS FROM NOW.
GOALS ARE WHAT YOU WORK TOWARD TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE THE VISION.
SO, UH, AND IT WAS MODIFIED TO HIGHLIGHT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFORTS.
RAPID FIVE RECO RELOCATED CONTENT FROM OTHER CHAPTERS AND UPDATED GOALS BASED ON DIRECTION OF THE PLAN.
SO THIS WAS TWEAKED A LITTLE BIT, BUT NOTHING, UH, TOO SEVERE.
LANDING AND DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER.
UH, IT'S THE IMPORTANT CHAPTER, REGARDLESS OF HOW BIG A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OR A COMMUNITY PLAN IS, ITS HEART AND SOUL IS LAND USE, RIGHT? IT USED TO BE THE REQUIREMENT THROUGH THE STANDARD STATE PLANNING, ENABLING ACTS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GIVEN DOWN TO THE STATES, WHICH THEN ENABLED CITIES AND COUNTIES WAS ABOUT LAND USE PLANNING, RIGHT? UH, NOW COMMUNITY PLANS ARE MUCH MORE ROBUST AND COMPREHENSIVE, BUT AT THEIR HEART IS STILL LAND USE.
SO I TALKED ABOUT HOW DETAILED AND, UM, GUIDING OUR LAND USE, UH, COMPONENT IS.
AND IT WAS MODIFIED TO ENHANCE SOME OF THE CLASSIFICATIONS FOR MIXED USE AND DESCRIPTIONS OF CLASSIFICATIONS WITH GRAPHICS AND PHOTOGRAPHS.
SO IT WAS VERY CRYSTAL CLEAR WHAT THE INTENT WAS OF EVERY DISTRICT.
SO WE MADE THOSE CHANGES TO SORT OF BEEF THAT UP.
HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOOD CHAPTER DISCUSSES ALL THE RESIDENTIAL USES OF DIFFERENT TYPES THROUGHOUT EVERY AREA OF THE CITY.
AND IT WAS MODIFIED TO ENHANCE AND PAY MORE ATTENTION TO PLACEMAKING, COMMUNITY AESTHETICS, STREET SCAPE, AND CRITICAL VIEW SHEDS.
UM, UH, AND THIS WAS SORT OF THROUGHOUT THIS CHAPTER AND THE DOCUMENT, BUT THAT WAS SOME OF THE SPECIFIC FEEDBACK WE GOT.
UM, ALSO, ONE OF THE THINGS NOT LISTED HERE WAS THE NOTION OF CONSERVATION.
DESIGN IS ALSO SPECIFICALLY LISTED IN A COUPLE OF SECTIONS, INCLUDING HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOODS, UH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
THIS IS SORT OF THE STRENGTHENS THE CITY'S ROBUST ECONOMY.
AS YOU KNOW, THE CITY HAS A VERY, VERY STRONG, ALMOST A HERALDED LEGACY OF BEING FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE, UH, AND MINDED WHEN YOU LOOK AT INCREMENTAL DECISIONS.
UH, AND WE REALLY, UH, TRY TO, UH, BE RESPECTFUL OF THAT.
UM, SO IT WAS MODIFIED TO INCLUDE RECENT PROJECTS, CAPACITY STUDIES BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY FEATURES SUCH AS THE STONE WALLS AND OTHER THINGS.
IN ADDITION TO, UH, REALLY BEING MERITED BY A PRETTY DETAILED FISCAL IMPACT ANALYSIS ON SOME OF THE LAND USE SCENARIOS.
TRANSPORTATION, MOBILITY CHAPTER, UH, PROVIDES DETAILS FOR THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, AND AGAIN, FOR ALL KINDS OF TRANSPORTATION, WALKING, BIKING, TRANSIT, UH, UH, VEHICLE, YOU NAME IT.
IT WAS MODIFIED TO REFLECT PARADIGM CHANGES AND VEHICULAR MOVEMENT.
UH, TO CONTINUE THAT EFFORT OF SORT OF REALLY MAKING SURE THIS IS THE PLACE TO WALK BIKE, AS WELL AS ALL MODES OF MOBILITY.
COMMUNITY FACILITIES FOCUSES ON HOW FACILITIES AND SERVICES IMPACT OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE.
WHEN YOU THINK OF WHAT MAKES A COMMUNITY GREAT AND PEOPLE REFLECT BACK ON IT, IT MIGHT BE THINGS LIKE, BOY, THE CITY IS SO RESPONSIVE, I FEEL SO FA SAFE.
THE POLICE AND FIRE DO A PHENOMENAL JOB.
IF THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE STREET MAN, PUBLIC WORKS.
THEY ARE OUT THERE AND THEY ARE ON IT.
THESE AREN'T PRIVATE BUSINESSES.
THIS IS THAT COMMUNITY FACILITY, THOSE SERVICES THAT REALLY AUGMENT AND BOLSTERED QUALITY OF LIFE, UM, THAT ARE PROVIDED BY THE MUNICIPALITY OR OTHER PUBLIC AGENCY.
SO THIS COMMUNITY FACILITY SECTION REALLY TOUCHES ON THAT.
[00:30:01]
VERY THOROUGH.UH, IT'S VERY DETAILED, AND IT TALKS ABOUT MAYBE SOME OF THE THINGS YOU'RE NOT AWARE OF UNTIL THOSE THINGS DON'T WORK.
UH, THEN YOU ARE HYPER AWARE, LIKE FLOODING OR WATER NOT COMING OUTTA THE FAUCET.
WHEN YOU TURN THE KNOB OR ELECTRICITY, UH, YOUR LIFE'S NOT GOING ON WHEN YOU FLIP THE SWITCH, RIGHT? SO UTILITIES IS CRUCIAL FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE NOW, THE BUSINESSES THAT OPERATE HERE NOW, AND THOSE THAT WILL CALL DUBLIN HOME IN THE FUTURE.
SO THE UTILITY CHAPTER REALLY LOOKS AT ALL THOSE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS, UH, OF UTILITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE THAT MAKE A CITY LITERALLY FUNCTION.
UH, AND WITHOUT IT, UH, YOU WILL COME TO A STEAD, A DEAD STOP.
SO THE UTILITY CHAPTER COVERS ALL OF THOSE.
UH, IT'S REALLY, UH, A, A, A VERY ROBUSTLY WRITTEN CHAPTER.
UM, NATURAL RESOURCES, AGAIN, A HALLMARK OF DUBLIN.
UH, YOU DON'T, UM, GET A SENSE OF GREEN BECAUSE THERE ISN'T GREEN EVERYWHERE THERE IS.
UH, AND FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, UH, EVERYBODY WE SPOKE TO SAID, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE RESPONSIBLE AND THAT WE ARE GOOD STEWARDS OF THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT.
UH, AND THAT IS A BIG PART OF THIS.
SO THIS WAS MODIFIED A LITTLE BIT TOWARD THE END, UH, TO LIMIT IMPERVIOUS PAVEMENT AND ENHANCE CITYWIDE TREE CAN CANOPY, AND TO MAKE SURE THAT NEW DEVELOPMENT GOING FORWARD, UH, IN THE WESTERN AREAS WHERE THERE AREN'T A LOT OF TREES DEVELOPED OVER TIME TO BE MORE REFLECTIVE OF THE TREE AREAS OF THE VILLAGE AND THE CANOPIES YOU CURRENTLY HAVE.
SO THOSE WERE ALL MODIFICATIONS THAT WERE MADE TOWARD THE END BASED ON FEEDBACK.
UM, SO I THINK WITH THAT, THAT TAKES US THROUGH THE NATURAL RESOURCES CHAPTER.
UM, I THINK NOW WE'RE GETTING INTO SORT OF THE, UM, UH, SPECIAL AREA PLANS.
AND SO JENNY'S GONNA GO THROUGH THIS REAL QUICK.
UM, SO AGAIN, AS JOHN MENTIONED, RIGHT, THIS WAS A VERY ITERATIVE PROCESS.
UM, AND AN INDIVIDUAL PIECE IS SORT OF INFORMING THE OVERALL PLAN AND THE SPECIAL AREA PLANS IS A KEY COMPONENT OF THAT.
UM, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THAT ALIGNS WITH, UM, WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IN THESE SORT OF SIX GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED IN THE PLAN.
SO I WANTED TO JUST SORT OF HIGHLIGHT WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THESE AREA PLANS ARE AND SOME OF THE KEY FACTORS THAT WE INCLUDED.
OBVIOUSLY, AS YOU'VE LOOKED THROUGH THE DOCUMENT, THERE'S MULTI-PAGE SPREAD FOR EACH OF THEM.
UM, BUT I JUST WANNA SORT OF HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS, UM, FOR EACH OF THESE SIX.
SO WITHIN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT, UM, THIS REALLY INCORPORATES, UM, THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THE HISTORIC DISTRICT TASK FORCE, UM, THAT GROUP WAS, UM, REALLY INSTRUMENTAL, UM, IN THE 20 19, 20 20 TIMEFRAME.
UM, AND LOOKING AT THE HISTORIC DISTRICT AND WHAT'S IMPORTANT THERE.
SO THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAME OUT OF THE TASK FORCE, UM, ARE REALLY INCORPORATED IN THE BULK OF, UM, THIS AREA PLAN.
UM, IT ALSO TALKS ABOUT COMPATIBILITY OF SCALE, UM, AND CHARACTER DEVELOP OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT, WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S PRESERVED.
UM, LOOKING AT THEN POTENTIAL REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
SO YOU'LL SEE ON HERE WHERE, UM, THE EXISTING SCHOOL SITE IS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF BRIDGE STREET, THE OPPORTUNITY THAT, YOU KNOW, SHOULD THE SCHOOLS EVER WANNA REDEVELOP THAT, WHAT WHAT COULD THAT LOOK LIKE, RIGHT? SO EACH OF THESE PLANS, AGAIN, IS SHOWING A CONCEPTUAL IDEA OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN THERE.
THIS COULD DEVELOP OBVIOUSLY VERY DIFFERENTLY, UM, DEPENDING ON, ON THAT.
UM, BUT A KEY COMPONENT OF THAT, AND AS WELL THROUGHOUT THE HISTORIC DISTRICT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE INDIAN RUN.
SO HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT DEVELOPMENT, UM, WITHIN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT OR ADJACENT IS SENSITIVE TO THE INDIAN RUN AND MAKING SURE WE'RE PRESERVING THAT KEY CORRIDOR, UH, WHICH TIES INTO THIS CONVERSATION, UM, ABOUT WHAT THAT FEATURE EAST WEST SIGNATURE CORRIDOR COULD LOOK LIKE, UM, AND WHERE THAT'S LOCATED.
SO WE'RE OBVIOUSLY UNDERTAKING A, A STUDY, UM, TO HELP US DEFINE THAT CITYWIDE.
UM, BUT A POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT TO HAPPEN HERE, UM, ALONG THE INDIAN RUN.
SO AGAIN, WE'RE, WE'RE NOTING THAT, KNOWING THAT WE'LL HAVE MORE INFORMATION AFTER THE PLAN, UM, IS DONE, AND WE HAVE A NUMBER OF THOSE STUDIES THAT WE'RE USING TO INFORM WHAT OUR RECOMMENDATIONS ARE, BUT KNOWING THAT THAT'LL HAVE TO BE LAYERED ON TOP OF, UM, THE PLAN.
'CAUSE THE PLAN ADOPTION WILL HAPPEN BEFORE WE KNOW ALL THE FINAL ANSWERS.
UM, AND AGAIN, CONTEXTUALLY WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH PROPERTIES THAT ARE ADJACENT OR ON THE EDGE OF THE DISTRICT, HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT THOSE ARE COMPATIBLE? SO THAT'S A KEY, UM, KEY COMPONENT OF THIS AREA PLAN, UM, WITHIN THE SOUTHWEST AREA.
UM, THIS IS AN AREA WHERE, UM, IT'S REALLY PRIME FOR OUR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TO OCCUR.
UM, THAT'S BEEN CONSISTENT WITH OUR PREVIOUS PLANS AS WELL.
THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SPACE THERE, UH, FOR DEVELOPMENT TO HAPPEN.
UM, AND AGAIN, THIS HELPS FURTHER THE RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE CITY'S HOUSING STUDY, UM, AND HOW TO PROVIDE THAT OPPORTUNITY FOR A VARIETY OF HOUSING STYLES AND LIFESTYLES.
UM, AND, AND HOW DOES THAT ALL FIT TOGETHER? THAT THIS SOUTHWEST AREA IS REALLY A KEY COMPONENT OF THAT.
UM, IN ADDITION TO HOW DOES THIS THEN TIE INTO THE AMLIN AREA AND SOME OPPORTUNITIES, AS YOU'LL SEE THROUGHOUT THE PLAN, UM, FOR MIXED USE, UM, DEVELOPMENT, AGAIN, THAT
[00:35:01]
GIVES THAT OPPORTUNITY FOR, FOR RESIDENTS WITHIN THE AREA TO, UM, HAVE NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE SERVICES ADJACENT TO THEM.SO THAT'S A REALLY KEY COMPONENT.
BUT AGAIN, THAT MIX OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, UM, WITH VARIETY, HOUSING VARIETY, UM, IS REALLY KEY HERE.
AND IN SOME AREAS, YOU KNOW, SORT OF THAT GEN GENTLE DENSITY, RIGHT, THAT WE'VE INCREASED, UM, SOME OF THE DENSITY IN THAT AREA 'CAUSE THAT FEELS APPROPRIATE THERE TO HELP MEET THOSE HOUSING DEMANDS.
THAT THE, THE HOUSING STUDY, UM, HAS HIGHLIGHTED AGAIN, THOUGH, THE CHARACTER OF THIS AREA, THAT WAS A HUGE CONVERSATION OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE, PARTICULARLY ALONG TOTAL CROSSING BOULEVARD.
WHAT DOES THAT TREATMENT LOOK LIKE? HOW DO WE TREAT THE RAIL, UM, THE RAIL CORRIDOR, RIGHT? KNOWING THAT, AGAIN, RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AGAINST EITHER OF THESE THINGS HAS PUT, YOU KNOW, NEEDS TO BE SENSITIVELY DONE.
SO A LOT OF SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS ABOUT LANDSCAPING, BI SETBACKS, UM, MEDIANS, ALL THOSE TYPES OF THINGS, JUST SORT OF MITIGATE THAT, UM, RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, YOU KNOW, HOW AND HOW THAT OCCURS WITHIN THIS CORRIDOR.
UM, AND AGAIN, THERE'S EXISTING RESIDENTIAL.
SO HOW DO WE HELP MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS INTEGRATED AND TRANSITION TO, UM, IN A MEANINGFUL WAY? SO THAT'S BEEN A REALLY KEY COMPONENT.
UM, AS WELL AS THEN THERE ARE A LOT OF, NOT A LOT OF, BUT THERE ARE SOME KEY NATURAL FEATURES.
UM, AND WHERE THOSE EXIST, PARTICULARLY WHERE THERE'S LARGE TREE STANDS, UM, OR NATURAL AMENITIES, WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THOSE ARE INTEGRATED INTO DEVELOPMENT AS A FOCAL POINT, RIGHT? THAT, THAT'S A REALLY KEY PIECE OF THIS.
SO, UM, HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT THAT HAPPENS? SO AGAIN, OUR SOUTHWEST AREA IS REALLY WHERE A LOT OF THAT, UM, SORT OF TRADITIONAL RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IS ANTICIPATED.
UM, WEST INNOVATION, UM, THIS WAS AGAIN, ALSO A LOT OF DISCUSSION AT THE STEERING COMMITTEE, PARTICULARLY WHEN IT CAME TO THE FUTURE LAND USES AND WHERE, WHERE THOSE WERE GONNA HAPPEN, HOW THOSE WERE GONNA HAPPEN, WHAT THE STEERING COMMITTEE WAS GONNA RECOMMEND, AND THAT ULTIMATELY RESULTED IN THE BOUNDARIES OF THIS AREA PLAN, SORT OF GROWING TO THE SOUTH.
UM, SO A PORTION OF THIS, IT TYPICALLY OUR WEST INNOVATION STOPPED AT SHIRE RINGS, UM, WITH OUR PREVIOUS PLANS AND THIS, UM, PROPOSED PLAN, IT MOVES TO THE SOUTH AGAIN, TO PROVIDE THAT ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR FLEX INNOVATION, UM, AND INDUSTRIAL USES THAT THIS REALLY FELT LIKE THE RIGHT, UM, MIX OF USES.
AND THAT WAS A, A BIG CONVERSATION, UM, WHEN WE LOOKED AT THOSE THREE ALTERNATIVE LAND USE SCENARIOS THAT JOHN MENTIONED.
SO WE HAD A LOT ENDED UP WITH THIS HYBRID, RIGHT OF WHERE, WHERE ARE WE GONNA PUT THESE, WHERE'S THE RIGHT SORT OF END AND TRANSITION INTO DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENTS.
SO THIS IS WHERE WE LANDED, UM, WHICH AGAIN, SUPPORTING THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY, MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE, UM, DIVERSIFYING OUR USES, RIGHT? WE'RE NOT GOING WITH OUR STANDARD OFFICE ONLY, UM, KIND OF MENTALITY THAT WE'RE REALLY LOOKING AT, RIGHT? HOW, WHICH IS AGAIN, THE BREAD AND BUTTER OF WHAT DUBLIN IS MADE OF, BUT KNOWING THAT WE NEED TO REMAIN, UM, ECONOMICALLY COMPETITIVE AND HOW DO WE DO THAT IN A DIFFERENT WAY? UM, AND THINK ABOUT THAT FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.
SO THAT WAS A KEY COMPONENT TO THIS.
UM, A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT MIXED USE, UM, PARTICULARLY ADJACENT TO THE OHIO UNIVERSITY CAMPUS, UM, AND HOW THAT COULD FIT, UM, WITHIN THAT, HONESTLY, ON EITHER SIDE OF THAT.
SO LOOKING, UM, LOOKING TO THAT AS WELL.
HIGHLIGHTING OUR POTENTIAL FUTURE RAIL SITE AT THE, UH, NORTHWEST CORNER HERE.
UM, AGAIN, SEPARATE STUDIES BEING DONE FOR THAT, BUT USING THAT INFORMATION TO HELP EDUCATE AND INFORM THIS PLAN, UM, AS WELL.
AND THEN KNOWING THAT BALANCE TRAY IS RIGHT ON THE SORT OF EDGES OF THIS, A REALLY BIG CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW WE'RE TRANSITIONING, RIGHT? THESE SORT OF HIGHER INTENSITY USES DOWN TO A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
AND AGAIN, BUFFERING LANDSCAPING SETBACKS, PARTICULARLY ON THAT WESTERN EDGE OF BALL TRAY.
BUT THE USES THEN THAT ARE COMING DOWN FROM 33, UM, AND 1 61 THAT THOSE AS THEY GET CLOSER TO BALL TRAY ARE INTENDED TO SCALE DOWN, UM, IN TERMS OF INTENSITY AND AND SCALE.
SO, UM, THAT WAS A BIG, BIG COMPONENT OF THIS AS WELL.
SO THIS LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOU'VE SEEN BEFORE.
WE HAD SOME VERY SPECIFIC, UM, SITE SPECIFIC, UH, PER, YOU KNOW, GRAPHICS WITHIN THE PREVIOUS ITERATIONS OF THE PLAN AND REALLY FELT LIKE WE NEEDED TO ZOOM OUT AND LOOK AT THIS HOLISTICALLY AND PROVIDE SOME, UM, SORT OF GENERAL ILLUSTRATIVE PLANS FOR THAT ENTIRE EMERALD CORRIDOR.
SO, UM, THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL GRAPHIC THAT WE, UM, WE'VE INCLUDED IN HERE THAT REALLY DOES SORT OF GET TO THAT.
SO YOU CAN SEE, AGAIN, THE VARIETY OF USES, BUT ALSO SAME THING WITH THE, YOU KNOW, EMERALD PARKWAY TREATMENT, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE PRESERVING THOSE NATURAL FEATURES.
UM, BUT AGAIN, THE GOAL OF EMERALD CORRIDOR, UM, SIMILAR TO WEST INNOVATION IS THAT EMPLOYMENT FOCUS, PARTICULARLY ON THAT I TWO 70 CORRIDOR.
SO HOW ARE WE MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE PRIORITIZING USES ON THAT CORRIDOR, UM, THAT REALLY HELP PROMOTE THE ECONOMIC, UM, STRENGTH AND VIABILITY OF THE CITY.
UM, BUT THEN ALSO LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES SUCH AS THE PARKWOOD SITE WHERE THERE COULD BE A MIX OF USES, UM, AND TRANSITION, YOU KNOW, FROM THAT LARGER SCALE OFFICE ON TWO 70 DOWN TO THE SMALLER SCALE OFFICE AND RESIDENTIAL, THEN THAT HAPPENS, UM, HAPPENS TO THE EAST AND THAT HAPPENS IN A
[00:40:01]
COUPLE DIFFERENT AREAS.SO, UM, LOOKING PARTICULARLY SAME WITH THE BRIGHT ROAD AREA AS WELL AS KAUFMAN ROADS.
SO THOSE, THOSE CONDITIONS EXIST THERE AS WELL.
AND THEN WE HAVE SOME POTENTIAL FOR SOME FUTURE, UM, GREENWAY AND VEHICULAR CONNECTIONS ACROSS TWO 70 THAT WOULD INTEGRATE WITHIN THIS, UM, AREA AS WELL.
SO WE'RE ALSO MINDFUL OF THAT WITH THIS AREA PLAN.
UM, BRIDGE STREET DISTRICT, UM, WE, AGAIN, A, THIS IS LARGELY THE SAME.
UM, WE HAVE HAD AND USED, UM, YOU KNOW, OB OBVIOUSLY THE OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THIS BASED ON WHEN THIS WAS DONE ORIGINALLY, UM, THERE WASN'T A LOT OF NEW BRIDGE STREET RELATED DEVELOPMENT.
SO UPDATING THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS, UM, ARE STILL INCORPORATED APPROPRIATELY.
UM, AND HAVING WORKED THROUGH, YOU KNOW, A NUMBER OF SITES AND LOOKING AT CAPACITY FOR SOME OF THOSE THINGS, HOW DOES, YOU KNOW, HOW DO THOSE GET INCORPORATED? BUT LARGELY, UH, RETAINING THE INTENT OF WHAT BRIDGE STREET, UM, INCLUDED PREVIOUSLY.
UM, WE'VE INCLUDED THOUGH THIS EAST, UH, BRIDGE STREET CORRIDOR WITH THE FUTURE IMPLEMENTATION OF BRT.
SO YOU'LL SEE ON THERE, UM, THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT.
AND AGAIN, THAT'S ANOTHER STUDY THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH.
UM, AND HOW DO WE REIMAGINE THAT STREET CA STREET SCAPE ON THAT CORRIDOR, RIGHT? FROM THE TYPICAL SORT OF SUBURBAN BIG SETBACKS, BIG CAMPUS FEEL TO LET'S MAYBE HAVE A MORE URBAN CORRIDOR, UM, THROUGH THROUGHOUT THAT, WHICH AGAIN, IS SUPPORTED SUPPORTING THE LINK US PROJECT AND ALL THOSE, THOSE OPPORTUNITIES.
UM, AND AGAIN, BRIDGE STREET HAS A LOT OF VERY UNIQUE NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER TYPES.
SO HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE HIGHLIGHTING THAT? SO THE PLAN, UM, HAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT WITHIN THE AREA PLAN.
AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST IS THE DUBLIN CORPORATE AREA PLAN.
SO SIMILAR TO EMERALD CORRIDOR, UM, WE HAD ONLY VERY, UM, LIKE A TWO OR THREE VERY SPECIFIC SITES.
UM, I REALLY TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THIS MORE HOLISTICALLY AND HOW DO WE PROVIDE THIS IN A MORE CONTEXTUAL NATURE.
UM, AGAIN, SIMILAR TO EMERALD CORRIDOR AND WEST INNOVATION, THAT E EMPLOYMENT FOCUS IN SUPPORT OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY, UM, DEVELOPMENT ALSO ALONG TWO 70.
AND THAT ALSO IS THE SAME WITHIN THE BRIDGE STREET, RIGHT? EMPLOYMENT FOCUSED USES ON TWO 70, RIGHT? WHICH EQUATES TO, WE TYPICALLY DON'T WANT RESIDENTIAL USES ON THE FREEWAY, RIGHT? SO HOW DO WE CAPITALIZE ON THOSE, THOSE KEY CORRIDORS? UM, METRO CENTER REDEVELOPMENT IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT IS UNDERWAY.
UM, SO AGAIN, THIS IS TRYING TO CAPTURE SOME OF THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE HAD AS PART OF THAT PROJECT TO INFORM.
UM, BUT AGAIN, WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS FOR THAT EITHER.
BUT KNOWING THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S GONNA BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT HAPPENING IN THAT METRO CENTER AREAS IS A KEY COMPONENT.
UM, AGAIN, TRANSITIONS BETWEEN EXISTING AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, PARTICULARLY RESIDENTIAL.
WE HAVE SOME ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, UM, ABUTTING THE DUBLIN CORPORATE AREA PLAN.
SO HOW DO WE, HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE INTEGRATING AND SENSITIVE TO THAT? ALSO, YOU KNOW, OUR SORT OF FUTURE MOBILITY AND TRANSPORTATION CONNECTIONS IN THE CORRIDOR, THOSE ARE REALLY KEY.
UM, AND AGAIN, HAVING A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT MIXED USE, RIGHT, BOTH VERTICALLY AND HORIZONTALLY.
HOW DO WE FIND THE RIGHT MIX OF THAT WITH, AGAIN, KNOWING THAT WE NEED TO PRIORITIZE SOME OF THOSE KEY LOCATIONS, UM, AS WELL.
AND YEAH, I THINK THAT'S THE, THOSE ARE THE HIGHLIGHTS FOR THAT PARTICULAR AREA.
SO, UM, WITH THAT, AS I MENTIONED, OUR RECOMMENDATION IS APPROVAL, UH, TO CITY COUNCIL TONIGHT.
BUT AGAIN, BEFORE WE GET TO THAT PART, DEFINITELY WANNA HEAR YOUR COMMENTS HERE FROM YOU.
AND AGAIN, AS JOHN SAID, THEY'RE HOUSE OF LEVINE STAFF, TRANSPORTATION MOBILITY STAFF CONSULTANT.
AND THEN, UM, WE HAVE UTIL MICHAEL'S HERE TO TALK ABOUT UTILITIES IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT.
SO WE HAVE EVERYBODY HERE, UM, TO HOPEFULLY ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS AND, UM, AND YEAH, LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING THE CONVERSATION.
SO WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO YOU.
SO AGAIN, THIS IS A LITTLE BIT, UH, MORE INFORMAL THAN OUR TRADITIONAL BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF MATERIAL.
SO WE'LL DO COMMISSION QUESTIONS AFTER QUESTIONS.
BUT BEFORE DELIBERATION, BEFORE DISCUSSION ON, UH, SUPPORT OR IMPROVEMENTS THAT NEED TO BE MADE, WE WILL TAKE OPPORTUNITY FOR COMMENTS.
I DIDN'T SEE ANY SUBMITTED IN ADVANCE OF THE MEETING.
UH, SO, UH, IT, IT LOOKS LIKE I'M SEEING A LOT OF POST-IT NOTES.
SO WE'LL JUST GO THROUGH AND START AT THE BEGINNING IF WE HAVE, UM, CALL OUTS QUESTIONS.
UM, I DID KIND OF MY SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON OF LAST ITERATION AND THIS ITERATION, BUT I THINK THE REST OF THE COMMISSION DID AS WELL.
SO WE WILL START AT THE BEGINNING AND WE'LL GO THROUGH AND SECTION BY SECTION WE'LL PAUSE.
SO LOOKING AT THE VERY BEGINNING INTRODUCTION, THERE WERE A FEW MODIFICATIONS TO INTRODUCTION, BUT I BELIEVE ALL OF THOSE EITHER CAME OUT OF OUR DISCUSSION PREVIOUSLY OR WE HEARD AT THE STEERING COMMITTEE OR CITY COUNCIL.
ANYONE HAVE ANY CALLOUTS IN THE INTRODUCTION? I JUST HAVE ONE.
[00:45:01]
COMMENT.UH, ONE THING THAT WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THERE IS DIVERSITY OF USES.
AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT DUBLIN IS VERY GOOD AT IS MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE A PLACE FOR INNOVATION.
WE HAVE A PLACE FOR PARK AND REC, WE HAVE A PLACE FOR HIGH DENSITY HOUSING, WE HAVE A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING.
SO THAT WAS MY ONLY CALL OUT WITH THE BE DISTINCTLY DUBLIN.
AND THEN THE ONLY OTHER ONE, IT DOES LOOK LIKE WE DELETED, I'M ON PAGE 11.
WE DELETED THE, UM, PARK EDITION IN THE DCAP FROM THE IMPROVE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION SECTION.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS BASED ON FEEDBACK.
CAN YOU SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME? SO, UM, ON PAGE 11 MM-HMM
AND SO THAT, THAT WAS TO BE CONSIDERED IN FUTURE.
WHILE I'M NOT SAYING HEY, WE NEED TO ADD THAT BACK IN, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD DISCUSSED THAT BECAUSE THAT'S ONE THING I HADN'T HEARD BEFORE.
OKAY, WE'LL DOUBLE CHECK THAT.
'CAUSE THIS IS SORT OF REITERATING THE PUBLIC COMMENT, SO I, YEAH.
OKAY, LET ME, LET ME LOOK AT THAT.
ALRIGHT, MR. CHIN, SORRY, CAN I INTERRUPT YOU? I'M SORRY, CAN I INTERRUPT YOU? SORRY, SORRY, GO AHEAD.
UM, I HAVE A JUST KIND OF A, IT'S IN THE INTRODUCTION AND IT APPEARS, UM, QUITE A BIT TALKING ABOUT, UH, STRATEGICALLY PLANNING FOR GROWTH.
AND I THINK IN THE, UM, I CAN'T RECALL, SORRY, WHAT PAGE IT WAS ON, BUT IT MENTIONED THE PRESSURES OF OF, OF GROWTH, UM, WHICH I KNOW WE ALL FACE.
BUT I GUESS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I HAVE, AND AGAIN, IT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION, SO IF I MISSED IT, I APOLOGIZE.
BUT, UM, HOW DO WE TALK? IS THERE, OR DO WE ADDRESS, OR MAYBE THIS ISN'T THE RIGHT FORUM, BUT HOW DO WE ADDRESS SMART GROWTH WHERE WE'RE NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, I KNOW THIS WHOLE KIND OF COMMUNITY PLAN GENERALLY DOES THAT, BUT WE TALK A LOT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, PRESSURE TO GROWTH, PRESSURE TO GROW.
WE TALK ABOUT THIS IS A GREAT COMMUNITY PLAN, BUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT GROWTH, HOW DO WE, HOW DO WE MAKE SURE WE'RE GROWING SUSTAINABLE? HOW ARE WE, HOW ARE WE INCORPORATING THAT INTO HERE WHERE WE'RE NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, SINCE IT'S, SINCE WE HAVE THIS COMMUNITY PLAN, IT'S APPROVED, LET'S DO IT, LET'S DO IT AS FAST AS WE CAN, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WE'RE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF BEHIND THE BALL, WHICH WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF OUR COMMUNITIES AROUND US IN IN THAT POSITION RIGHT NOW WHERE DRIVING SOME OF THEM AND IT'S FRUSTRATING, BUT I'M JUST, IS THAT, IS THIS NOT THE RIGHT FORM FOR, THAT IS MY NUMBER ONE QUESTION.
IS THAT ADDRESSED? HAS THIS BEEN TALKED ABOUT AND ARE YOU SPEAKING SPECIFICALLY ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY? LIKE, WELL, I GUESS WHAT I'M, I WANNA MAKE SURE I'M UNDERSTANDING SMART GROWTH.
YEAH, YEAH, SUSTAINABILITY'S SUSTAINABILITY IS OBVIOUSLY USED, YOU KNOW, IN TWO DIFFERENT WAYS WHERE IT'S LIKE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY, BUT IT'S ALSO, ARE WE ABLE TO SUSTAIN THIS PLAN THAT WE'RE SAYING THAT WE'RE GOING TO, YOU KNOW, ADOPT AND GO FORWARD, BUT DO WE ADDRESS HOW, HOW WE ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT IT IN TERMS OF TIMEFRAMES, INFRASTRUCTURE? I KNOW THINGS COME TO US, BUT HOW, HOW DO WE AVOID THE PREDICAMENT OF WELL IT'S HERE, LET'S DO IT, WE'RE GOOD TO GO, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE ARE KIND OF BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL ON SOME OF THAT STUFF.
SO I MEAN, AS PART OF THIS, UM, WE DID MODEL, RIGHT, TRANSPORTATION, UTILITIES AND FISCALLY.
SO IT DOES PENCIL OUT THAT IF IT WAS BUILT OUT RIGHT AS, AS IT'S SHOWN OR RECOMMENDED, IT COULD WORK.
UM, AGAIN, WITH EVERY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, RIGHT, THERE'S GONNA BE SEQUENCING AND SOME OF THOSE THINGS ARE CIP RELATED.
SO I MEAN, WE DON'T SAY, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANNA DEVELOP THIS PROPERTY, THAT CAN'T HAPPEN UNTIL THIS OTHER PROPERTY HAPPENS.
I MEAN, WE INHERENTLY SORT OF KNOW THAT LIKE TU CROSSING BOULEVARD, THAT AND UTILITY EXTENSION RELATED TO THAT, UM, IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF, WELL WE KNOW THAT THIS PARTICULAR AREA CAN'T BE BUILT BECAUSE WE NEED THE EXTENSION OF THIS.
SO THIS DOESN'T GET INTO THAT NECESSARILY LEVEL OF SPECIFICITY.
UM, BUT I MEAN, I KNOW IN THE UTILITIES CHAPTER FOR SURE IT DOES TALK ABOUT, RIGHT, THIS SEWER SHED ACCOMMODATES, YOU KNOW, THIS AND WE NEED TO BE THINKING ABOUT IMPROVEMENTS RELATED TO THAT.
SO IT'S REALLY HONESTLY ABOUT CITY PRIORITIES AND HOW WE'RE WE'RE DOING THAT.
WE DON'T GET INTO THAT TRUE LEVEL OF DETAIL.
YEAH, I WOULD OFFER PAGE SIX, ESSENTIALLY THE LAND USE PRINCIPLES WHERE WE GO THROUGH HOW WE'RE GOING TO HANDLE GROWTH, HOW WE'RE GOING TO BALANCE FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY, HOW WE'RE GOING TO MANAGE INFRASTRUCTURE, THAT SORT OF THING IS THAT 30,000 FOOT OVERVIEW OF HOW WE'RE GONNA GROW.
AND THEN JUST LIKE JENNY MENTIONED IN THE UTILITY SECTION, BUT ALSO IN EACH OF THE, THE KIND OF SUBDIVISION SECTIONS WHERE IT SAYS DISCOURAGE THIS TYPE OR WE TOOK OUT DISCOURAGE, WE, WE ADDED BACK IN SOMETHING ABOUT IF THEY'RE USING AN EXISTING UTILITY DISCOURAGE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OR THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO I THINK THE, THE BROAD STROKES ARE ON PAGE SIX.
THESE ARE OUR LAND USE PRINCIPLES.
THIS IS, THIS IS HOW WE'RE BALANCING OKAY.
[00:50:01]
AND I'LL JUST ADD ONE MORE AND I THINK ALL OF US UNDERSTAND IT AND THE CURRENT STAFF OBVIOUSLY UNDERSTANDS IT.AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, THE, EVERYBODY THAT WORKS FOR THE CITY AND ON THESE COMMISSIONS UNDERSTANDS WHAT, WHAT I'M SAYING.
BUT WHEN WE THINK ABOUT ADOPTING THIS GOING FORWARD, HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT THE PEOPLE BEHIND US UNDERSTAND IT TOO? AND I UNDERSTAND IT'S SPELLED OUT IN HERE.
I JUST, I I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT, I GUESS I SAID IT ADDRESSED IT
WELL, I WAS GONNA SAY IF, IF HE'S, I THINK THE DISCUSSION IS ALL ON POINT.
I THINK THAT YOU, YOU PHRASED A TERM OR USED A TERM THAT I THINK WAS PRETTY COMMON A WHILE AGO, SMART GROWTH.
UM, AND I THINK PROBABLY ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO IT REALLY SORT OF HIT ITS STRIDE BECAUSE COMMUNITIES WEREN'T, WEREN'T DOING LIKE WERE THEY INCORPORATING, UH, CONSERVATION DESIGN WHERE THEY ALIGNING LAND USE PLANNING WITH TRANSPORTATION AND UTILITY? WERE THEY LOOKING AT THINGS LIKE MIXED USE TO CONCENTRATE DEVELOPMENT WHERE UTILITIES ALREADY EXISTED? SO ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE IN HERE THROUGHOUT, UM, UH, WERE OFTEN THE PRINCIPLES OF SMART GROWTH AS IT WERE.
SO, UH, YOU'RE SPOT ON FOR SORT OF SAYING THIS WAS AN APPROACH TO PLANNING, UH, THAT WAS EMBRACED FROM THE GET GO.
THAT TERMINOLOGY ISN'T USED AS MUCH ANYMORE BECAUSE IT IS PROLIFERATION PROLIFERATED INTO SORT OF ALL ASPECTS OF PLANNING.
UH, AND SO I WOULD SAY COLLECTIVELY IT'S IN HERE IN SPADES, BUT I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.
THE LAND USE PRINCIPLES AND THEN EVEN IN THE IMPLEMENTATION SECTION, WE GET IT PRETTY SPECIFIC STUFF ON HOW TO MAKE SURE WE ARE INCORPORATING THOSE PRINCIPLES IN EVERY FACET OF PLAN MAKING.
SO YEAH, BUT YOU'RE, YOU'RE RIGHT ON THIS POINT.
ALRIGHT, ANYTHING ELSE ON SECTION ONE BEFORE WE MOVE TO COMMUNITY PROFILE? ALRIGHT, MOVING ON TO COMMUNITY PROFILE.
UH, UH, DOES ANYONE ELSE, I HAVE TWO IN THIS SECTION AS WELL.
YEAH, ANYONE ELSE IN THIS PARTICULAR SECTION? UM, WE, WE DID DISCUSS THE LAST STEERING COMMITTEE.
THE GREENS ON PAGE 16 ARE VERY, VERY CLOSE TOGETHER AND SO IT MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT TO TELL THE TWO APART.
SO I WOULD LOOK TO SEE IF STAFF HAD CONSIDERED THAT OR IF THAT JUST SLIPPED THROUGH THE CRACKS.
AND THEN ON PAGE 22, UM, FOR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, WE GET A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THINGS THAT AREN'T NECESSARILY IN OUR PURVIEW.
AND SO ON PAGE 22, WE USE THE SERVICES PROVIDED SECTION, TALK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT SCHOOLS.
AND SINCE THAT IS NOT A CITY OF DUBLIN, BUT RATHER THE DUBLIN CITY SCHOOLS RESPONSIBILITY MIGHT, I RECOMMEND WE USE EITHER, YOU KNOW, UH, PARK AND OPEN SPACE OR EMERGENCY SERVICES, YOU KNOW, POLICE SERVICES, THAT SORT OF THING.
UM, A AGAIN, WE ARE LOOKING AT THE QUALITY OF SERVICE, THE LEVEL OF SERVICE TO MAINTAIN IT.
I, AGAIN, BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WE'RE FACED WITH ALMOST EVERY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION WE HEAR, IT WOULD BE NICE NOT TO CONFUSE PEOPLE.
ANYTHING ELSE IN SECTION TWO BEFORE WE MOVE TO VISION AND GOALS? OKAY.
ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CALL OUTS ON VISION AND GOALS? I JUST WANTED TO REINFORCE WHAT, WHERE JAMIE WAS COMING FROM, FROM SMART GROWTH.
I MEAN, I THINK THE OVERARCHING STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK, YOU KNOW, MOST SUSTAINABLE, MOST CONNECTED, MOST RESILIENT TO ME IS SMART GROWTH.
AND THAT THIS, THOSE THEMES PERMEATE EVERY BIT OF THIS DOCUMENT.
SO I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT, THAT THAT SUBJECT IS WELL COVERED.
THANK YOU, MR. WE, UH, A QUESTION ON PAGE 32, WE REMOVED IN UTILITY SECTION, WE REMOVED THE SECTION THAT TALKED ABOUT, UH, SO IN HERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PROVIDING FOR SAFE AND EFFICIENT, YOU KNOW, SERVICES, UH, CONTAINER EFFORTS TO REMOVE, REMOVE INFILTRATION.
BUT WE TOOK OUT THE SECTION OF, UH, BLENDING WITH LANDSCAPING, COMPLIMENTARY LANDSCAPING.
AND I TAKE THAT BACK TO THE, YOU KNOW, THE PRINCIPLES THAT ARE REITERATED THROUGHOUT THE DOCUMENT, ONE OF WHICH IS THE MOST CONNECTED.
AND SO THAT BLENDING, WAS THERE A, A SPECIFIC REQUEST OR REASON OR AGAIN, DID IT SLIP THROUGH AGAIN? NO, I DON'T EXPECT EVERYONE TO HAVE THIS JUST ON THE TOP.
THERE
SO IS THIS REFERRING TO ONE OF THE OBJECTIVES THAT'S IN THE UTILITIES CHAPTER REGARDING STORM WATER MANAGEMENT AND BLENDING THAT INFRASTRUCTURE WITH SURROUNDING AREAS? YEAH, SO ESSENTIALLY THE UTILITY'S GOAL TO PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY UTILITY SERVICES IN A SAFE, EFFICIENT, AND FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE MANNER.
BUT THEN IT HAS BULLETED OBJECTIVES.
[00:55:01]
PREVIOUS ITERATION WAS WHEN WE PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES, WHEN WE PROVIDE THE, THE PHYSICAL IMPLEMENTATION TO ENSURE THAT THEY BLEND WITH ADJACENT LANDSCAPING BUFFERING, THAT SORT OF THING.AND AS PART OF THE ITERATIVE PROCESS, WE LOOKED AT CHAPTER THREE AND CHAPTER NINE TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE ONE IN THE SAME.
SO THERE WERE UPDATES MADE BECAUSE I THINK CHAPTER THREE WAS A LITTLE BIT OUTDATED.
AS WE WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS, WE LOOKED AT CHAPTER NINE, THERE WERE SOME UPDATES.
SO WHAT WE DO HAVE IN CHAPTER NINE, UM, THE LAST OBJECTIVE IS DESIGN STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FACILITIES TO BLEND WITH SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT AS AN ATTRACTIVE AMENITY AND LANDSCAPE FEATURE.
SO IS THAT, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO? UH, I, I, I BELIEVE SO.
HOWEVER, THAT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT, THIS ALSO D DEALS WITH SEWER, ALSO DEALS WITH OTHER UTILITIES, IS HOW I READ IT.
IF I'M MISINTERPRETING, THAT'S FINE.
SO I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, YES, WE'RE DOING THAT IN THE SECTION TALKING ABOUT STORMWATER, BUT WE'RE ALSO CONSIDERING THAT WHEN WE'RE ALSO, WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DIFFERENT UTILITIES, WHICH I BELIEVE IS WHAT SECTION THREE IS GETTING AT, RIGHT? YES.
AND THAT'S THE INTENT TO DO THAT.
WE, SO WE CAN GO BACK AND TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE HAD IN CHAPTER THREE.
IF WE MISSED AN OBJECTIVE THAT NEEDS TO BE CARRIED OVER INTO CHAPTER NINE, AND THEN SUBSEQUENTLY TURN, YOU KNOW, ADDED BACK INTO CHAPTER THREE.
SO WE, WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
THE INTENT IS FOR THAT, THAT OBJECTIVE TO HAPPEN.
I KIND OF WONDERED IF NOW I GOT THEM REVERSED AND THEY WEREN'T IN THREE AND NOW WE'RE AT IT.
UH, AND THEN ONE QUESTION ON THE, UM, ALTERNATE LAND USE SCENARIOS.
SO 42, 43, UH, AND, AND MAYBE THIS IS JUST MY BRAIN HICCUPING A LITTLE BIT.
WE DON'T TALK ABOUT NECESSARILY WHAT WE WANNA DO WHEN WE WOULD WANNA ENACT HOW THE PUBLIC SHOULD TAKE, HEY, THIS IS OUR CURRENT USE AND THIS IS OUR ALTERNATE SCENARIO.
THIS IS OUR ALTERNATE SCENARIO THREE.
AND SO THERE COULD BE SOME MISUNDERSTANDING OR MISINTERPRETATION.
I'M LOOKING FROM A PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, FUTURE ITERATION.
THE ENVISION DUBLIN PLAN IS ADOPTED.
AND THEN HOW DO THEY JUDGE FUTURE APPLICATIONS? MR. WE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAD ON THE PREFERRED, UH, PREFERRED YES.
IN IN THAT'S THE, THE COLLECTIVE THINKING IS THE PREFERRED FUTURE
UH, THAT'S WHAT I WOULD, SORRY.
THAT'S WHAT I WOULD REVERT TO A AGREED.
BUT WITH AN ADOPTED PLAN, IF THERE'S AN ALTERNATIVE AS SOMEONE SITTING IN ONE OF THESE CHAIRS LATER, IF I HAVE AN APPLICATION THAT FITS AN ALTERNATIVE BUT NOT THE PREFERRED, DOES THAT GIVE ME LICENSE TO, HEY, SAY I SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE IT'S IN THE ENVISION DUBLIN, EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T ALIGN WITH THE PREFERRED.
I, WELL I THINK MAYBE WE JUST NEED SOME MORE CONTEXT HERE.
IT'S, WE HAD THESE THREE SCENARIOS THAT GOT US TO THE PREFERRED.
THESE ARE NOT AN ALTERNATIVE SOMEONE CAN CHOOSE.
SO I THINK THAT'S MAYBE SOME CLARITY.
I I THINK IT'S LABELING, I, I'M LOOKING AT WHAT YOUR COMMENT IS.
IT SHOULD SAY SCENARIO ONE, SCENARIO TWO, SCENARIO THREE.
THE STORYTELLING SHOULD CLEARLY SAY WE LOOKED AT THREE SCENARIOS, EVALUATED THEM, CAME UP WITH A HYBRID.
THAT IS THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.
I WOULDN'T EVEN CALL IT PREFERRED AT THIS POINT, RIGHT.
IT'S THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.
THE OTHER ONES ARE JUST SCENARIOS AND WE SHOULD SAY THREE SCENARIOS.
WERE EXAMINED FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES IN ORDER TO PREPARE THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.
SO I THINK WE SHOULD GET RID OF PREFERRED AND JUST SAY FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.
AND INSTEAD OF ADOPTED PLANS, IT OUGHT TO SAY SCENARIO ONE, PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED PLANS.
AND, AND THEN WE DON'T, IT'S JUST ONE OF THE SCENARIOS WE LOOKED AT.
SO I THINK IT'S A, IT'S A TITLING THING, SO WELL, AND UNTIL IT'S ADOPTED, IT'S NOT THE, IT'S NOT THE PLAN.
SO IT'S STILL A PREFERRED PLAN UNTIL CITY COUNCIL ADOPTS IT.
BUT, BUT I THINK EVERYTHING IN THE PLAN IS, IS IS, YOU KNOW, DRAFT OR PREFERRED UNTIL IT'S ADOPTED.
BUT I WOULD LABEL IT AS A FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.
IT'S NOT ADOPTED UNTIL IT'S ADOPTED.
BUT ON THE SCENARIO THAT SAYS ADOPTED, I THINK IT SHOULD SAY SCENARIO ONE, COLON PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED PLANS.
THAT'S THE NAME OF THAT SCENARIO.
SO I THINK IT'S A, A TITLING THING.
I DON'T KNOW IF I'M STILL IN SECTION THREE.
I THINK I'M IN SECTION FOUR NOW.
UH, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS MR WAY? I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANNA HIGHLIGHT THE, THE VERBIAGE.
SO ON THE, ON THE GRAPHICS THAT TALKS ABOUT THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES, IT REFERS TO LOW RESIDENTIAL, WHICH I DON'T THINK IS THE BEST WAY TO SAY IT.
IN THE, IN THE PREVIOUS, THERE WAS A PREVIOUS CHART AND IT SAID RESIDENTIAL LOW, RESIDENTIAL MEDIUM.
SO I THINK MAYBE THAT'S WHERE THIS CAME IN.
BUT JUST LOW RESIDENTIAL SOUNDS LIKE, WELL WHAT'S THAT MEAN? IS THAT LIKE LOW HEIGHT
[01:00:01]
SO I THINK IT, IT SHOULD SAY EITHER LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL OR IT SHOULD SAY RESIDENTIAL LOW DENSITY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.AND THAT, AND THAT'S THE SAME WITH ALL OF THEM, AT LEAST ON THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE.
UM, OTHER CALLOUTS, I'M ON THE LAST PAGE OF FOUR, IT APPEARS 56.
UH, I, I NOTICED WE CHANGED THE WORDING.
THIS IS THE ONE THAT I REFERENCED EARLIER.
WE CHANGED THE WORDING IN CONSIDER NEW SUBDIVISIONS ONLY WITHIN A QUARTER MILE BUFFER OF EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE.
IF THEY CONNECT TO EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVE, ET CETERA.
I, IS THERE AN ACCEPT IF WE HAVE A DEVELOPER WHO'S GOING TO BUILD SOME INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS NEEDED FOR THE CITY? IS THERE AN ACCEPT? IS THERE A, YOU KNOW, UNLESS, I MEAN, I, I GUESS IT'S A RECOMMENDATION.
SO IF THERE WAS SOMEONE THAT CAME FORWARD WITH SOMETHING DIFFERENT, I THINK WE WOULD CONSIDER THAT.
I THINK THIS IS JUST PROVIDING THAT GUIDANCE IF YOU WILL.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY HAS ANY OTHER THOUGHTS ABOUT THAT.
YEAH, I JUST, THE CONSIDER ONLY MM-HMM.
OKAY, MOVING ON TO SECTION FIVE, HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOODS QUESTIONS, CALL OUTS.
I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT PLACEMAKING HAS BEEN USED A NUMBER OF TIMES AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
GOOD SUGGESTION FOR, I I, I ACTUALLY HAVE A COMMENT ON PLACEMAKING
SO, UH, WHILE WE LIKE PLACEMAKING, WE DON'T MENTION, WE DON'T TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO, YOU KNOW, EMPHASIZE THE CONNECTED CITY PORTION OF THAT.
BECAUSE AGAIN, THAT MEETS ONE OF THE DISTINCT DUBLIN AND ONE OF THE THREE MAJOR PINNACLES.
WE TALK ABOUT CONNECTED NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT CONNECTED CITY BECAUSE THAT'S ONE OF OUR CHARTER GOALS.
J JUST A CLARIFICATION, DID YOU WANT, AND SO THERE'S A COUPLE OF WAYS TO DO THAT IN THE BODY OF THE TEXT OR ON THE LANDING PAGE WHERE IT SAYS CONNECTED, MOST CONNECTED PUT SENSE OF PLACE OR PLACEMAKING SOMEWHERE IN THAT.
SO I THINK PLACEMAKING IS, THE TITLE IS JUST FINE.
IT'S THE VERY FIRST STATEMENT IS PLACEMAKING FOCUSES ON STRENGTHENING THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PEOPLE AND WHERE THEY LIVE AND WHERE THEY SHOP AND WHERE THEY, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING ELSE.
SO PLACEMAKING IS A COMPONENT OF THIS CONNECTED, THE MOST CONNECTED CITY.
AND SO EPHA, TYING IT BACK TO THAT STRATEGIC EMPHASIS OF MOST CONNECTED CITY.
I THINK BECAUSE THIS IS IN THE, IN THE HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOODS, THAT'S WHY IT'S MORE SPECIFIC.
SO, SO IF, IF YOU LOOK UP AND LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS FOR UH, UM, WHAT IS MOST CONNECTED OR SENSE OF PLACE OR LIVABILITY OR WHATEVER.
AND WE WERE TRYING TO TIE THAT BACK LITERALLY TO SORT OF LIKE THE RESIDENTIAL OR NEIGHBORHOOD CHAPTER OF THIS.
BUT WE CAN MODIFY THAT TEXT A LITTLE BIT.
SO I'M, I'M JUST LOOKING, EVEN WHERE YOU LIVE IS ALSO WHERE YOU RECREATE THE TRAILS THAT ARE ADJACENT IN, IN NEIGHBORHOODS.
ALRIGHT, ANYTHING ELSE IN SECTION FIVE? MOVING ON TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
THE VERY FIRST SECTION WHERE I HAVE ZERO COMMENTS.
NOT OFF OFF ANY CALL OUTS FOR SECTION SIX.
THIS ONE IS AN AMAZING CHAPTER, SO THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO WAS INVOLVED IN THIS SECTION.
IT, IT GIVES THE APPEARANCE OF A LABOR OF LOVE AND IS VERY, VERY WELL THOUGHT THROUGH.
NOT THAT THE OTHER SECTIONS ARE NOT, BUT SECTION SEVEN.
ALRIGHT, MOVING ON TO SECTION EIGHT.
COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES QUESTIONS, CALL OUTS.
UH, THE ONLY ONE THAT I HAD BASED ON OUR LAST MEETING, UH, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT SOME MAYBE, UH, AND, AND MAYBE THIS IS JUST LATER TO COME IN THE PROCESS, BUT SOME IMAGES, SOME VISUALS OF WHAT WE ENVISION THE SIGNATURE TRAIL TO BE, TO COME TO FRUITION.
WE HAVE OF COURSE THE, THE GRAPHIC ON PAGE 1 32 OF THE BELT, BUT NOTHING DEFINED AS TO WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
[01:05:01]
ANYTHING ELSE IN SECTION EIGHT? MR. WAIT AGAIN, I BROUGHT THIS UP IN THE LAST MEETING ABOUT THE HOSPITALS BEING, YOU'VE GOT, UM, YEAH, OSU IS STILL MISSING SO WE'RE MISSING OS U.ANYTHING ELSE? QUESTIONS? COMMENTS ON EIGHT? MOVING ON TO NINE.
QUESTIONS ON MR. HENDERSHOT? I THINK YOU'RE GETTING OFF EASY TONIGHT.
YOU CAN'T MESS WITH PERFECTION.
ALRIGHT, MOVING ON TO SECTION 10.
NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT.
UM, S AND I READ THROUGH, WE WERE GETTING LOW IN THE DOCUMENT SO I DIDN'T READ IT WITH QUITE THE PRECISION THAT I DID EARLIER, BUT THE SIGNATURE TRAIL ON THE INTRODUCTION, I DIDN'T SEE THAT THAT KIND OF ADOPTED.
AND AGAIN, IT COULD HAVE JUST BEEN, I MISS IT, BUT ESPECIALLY WHERE THAT'S NEW KIND OF A, A PLUG OR A HIGHLIGHT AS TO THAT'S OUR GREEN, RIGHT? DUBLIN LOVES THE GREEN.
I THINK BECAUSE IT'S NOT, WELL-DEFINED WHAT IT IS YET.
SO MAYBE THAT'S NOT QUITE THE PLACE TO PUT IT IS IT COULD BE, IT MAY NOT BE A NATURAL CORRIDOR, RIGHT? IT COULD BE SOMETHING ELSE.
UM, THE SIGNATURE TRAIL, UM, IS GOING TO HAVE A VARIETY OF EXPERIENCES.
SOME OF THEM WILL BE IN THE NATURAL SETTING.
SOME OF THEM WILL BE MORE IN A MIXED USE URBAN, UM, ENVIRONMENT.
UH, THAT'S FULLY WHAT WE EXPECT.
SO IT MAY NOT, WHILE YES IT WILL HAVE THOSE NATURAL, UM, ENVIRONMENT ELEMENTS, IT'S NOT GOING TO NECESSARILY BE THE MAINSTAY OF THE TRAIL.
THE OTHER THING THAT I WANTED TO POINT OUT IS THAT IN THE TRANSPORTATION OR MOBILITY AND TRANSPORTATION CHAPTER, THERE WILL BE A, UM, WELL THERE IS A MORE DEFINED SPREAD FOR THE SIGNATURE TRAIL.
IT WASN'T, UH, EXTRACTED ON ITS OWN PAGE.
THAT'S ONE OF OUR COMMENTS BACK.
AND THERE ARE THOSE INSPIRATIONAL IMAGES OF WHAT WE HOPE THAT TRAIL WILL LOOK LIKE IN THAT CHAPTER.
SO I KNOW THAT WE'VE MENTIONED IT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT TIMES, BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE KNEW THAT THOSE INSPIRATIONAL IMAGES WILL BE WITH, UM, MOBILITY AND TRANSPORTATION.
SO I DON'T HAVE A CO A COMMENT ON THIS SECTION, BUT I HAVE A COMMENT ON THE POWERPOINT PRESENTATION THAT WE WERE GIVEN BY MR. HOUSE HILL.
UM, YOU, THERE'S A PHRASE, THIS IS LIMIT PERVIOUS PAVEMENT AND I THINK IT'S SUPPOSED TO SAY LIMIT IMPERVIOUS PAVEMENT, BUT THE DOCUMENT IS CORRECT 'CAUSE I WENT AND CHECKED IT IMMEDIATELY.
SO ANYWAY, JUST IF YOU USE THAT POWERPOINT AGAIN, WE JUST NEED TO FIX THAT.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON SECTION 10? AND NOW JENNY, WE MOVE ON TO SPECIAL AREA PLANS.
SO 11 SPECIAL AREA PLANS, UH, COMMENTS ON THESE GUYS MR. WAY.
SO SORRY, AGAIN, THIS IS THIS PIECE WE DIDN'T REALLY GET TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT AT THE LAST MEETING, SO THERE MAY BE MORE COMMENTS NOW,
UM, AND, AND AGAIN, I THINK, YOU KNOW, AS WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THE PROCESS AND THE TOOLS THAT WE HAVE, A SPECIAL AREA PLAN IS A TOOL.
AND SO WHAT IT SAYS HAS MEANING.
UM, SO A LOT OF, I THINK MOST OF THE KEYS IN THE SPECIAL AREA PLANS ARE JUST LAND USE, BUT THERE'S ALL THESE OTHER LITTLE SYMBOLS AND LITTLE ARROWS.
AND I FEEL LIKE SOMEHOW IF THOSE ARE IMPORTANT TO EXPLAINING THE AREA PLAN, THEN WE SHOULD HAVE A KEY THAT TALKS ABOUT THEM.
AND IF THEY'RE NOT THEN THAT'S OKAY.
BUT JUST I WAS ASKING QUESTIONS LIKE THE VIEW CORRIDORS.
I MEAN THOSE ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN THE WORDS I THINK, BUT NOT ON THE GRAPHIC.
SO THAT'S JUST A GENERAL COMMENT ABOUT ALL OF THE, UM, THE PLANS.
THANK YOU, MR. WE OTHER CALL OUTS QUESTIONS FOR SPECIAL AREA PLANS AND WE CAN DO THEM IN TURN OR WE CAN DO THEM HOLISTICALLY.
UM, I DO HOPE TAGS YOU, SO ONE QUICK ONE IS HE'S FLIPPING, UM, THE SOUTHWEST AREA PLAN.
UM, I, IT LOOKS LIKE WE MAY HAVE DELETED THE HERITAGE AND THE SIGNATURE TRAIL FROM SOUTHWEST AREA PLAN, AT LEAST THE CALL OUTS ON THE AREA RECOMMENDATIONS WHERE WE HAVE THE HIGHLIGHTED SECTIONS.
I SEE THE, THE GREEN WEIGHT CONNECTIONS SECTION, WHICH MENTIONS HERITAGE TRAIL.
BUT IN THE MOST RECENT PREVIOUS, I THINK THEY WERE SECTIONS OF THEIR OWN.
[01:10:01]
AGAIN, NOT NOT OPPOSITION, JUST LOOKING FOR SOME CLARITY.YEAH, THE, I THINK WE WERE LOOKING AT HOW TO MAKE THIS POINT LARGER, RIGHT? THAT IT'S LOOKING AT THE GREENWAYS HOLISTICALLY AND MAKING SURE THAT THOSE CORRIDORS ARE CONNECTED.
UM, AGAIN, WE, I CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE LANGUAGE IF WE THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE CLARIFIED OR MORE SPEC OR BULLET POINT OUT.
LIKE THESE ARE SOME SPECIFIC AREAS THAT WE DEFINITELY WANNA MAKE HIGHLIGHTED.
YEAH, THERE WERE A COUPLE DIFFERENT ONES THAT WE SORT OF CONSOLIDATED UNDER THERE 'CAUSE IT MADE THE LARGER POINT, BUT I DON'T WANNA LOSE THE EMPHASIS IF YOU THINK IT NEEDS TO BE CALLED OUT DIFFERENTLY.
AND, AND I'M NOT OPPOSED, I LIKE THE WAY IT'S CAPTURED IN GREENWAY CONNECTIONS, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING WE ARE IN THE AREA PLAN AND THE SIGNATURE TRAIL IS SUPER EARLY IN ITS LIFE CYCLE.
SO NOT OPPOSED WAS JUST LOOKING FOR SOME CLARITY.
SO, UM, IN THE AREA PLAN THAT IS THE PARKWOOD AREA PLAN.
UM, I WAS, I WAS FLIPPING, I WAS RELATING THAT BACK TO THE EMERALD CORRIDOR AND THERE'S A BEIGE COLOR ON THE EMERALD CORRIDOR PLAN THAT I'M NOT, I THINK THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE MIXED USE OR IS I, IT I DON'T SEE IT IN THE KEY ON THE EMERALD CORRIDOR PLAN.
AND, AND I'M JUST TRYING, AND I, AND I'M TRYING TO RELATE IT BACK TO THE COLORS ON THE PARKWOOD PLAN
AND THE, AND THE AREA PLAN DOESN'T SHOW THAT.
SO I GUESS IN FROM A, SO THIS IS THE ONE AREA PLAN IN THIS WHOLE AREA WHERE THERE'S THIS IDEA OF INFILL DEVELOPMENT OF PARKING LOTS, BUT IT STOPS HALFWAY, UH, THROUGH IT.
AND I GUESS IT, AND IF THAT'S DELIBERATE, THAT'S FINE, BUT I'M, I'M, THERE'S A CONFLICT WITH THE OVERALL EML QUARTER PLAN IN THAT RESPECT.
SO, OKAY, SO THERE'S TWO QUESTIONS IN THERE.
ONE IS, IS IT INTENTIONAL THAT THE AREA TO THE NORTH OF PARKWOOD PLACE ROAD SHOULD JUST CONTINUE TO BE SURFACE PARKING LOTS TO SUPPORT THOSE OFFICE BUILDINGS? OR IS IF, IF A IF SOMEBODY CAME TO US AND SAID, OH, I'D LIKE TO PUT IN SOME INFILL DEVELOPMENT THERE, WOULD THAT BE CONSISTENT RIGHT.
WITH THE AREA PLAN? AND RIGHT NOW IT, IT ISN'T.
SO JUST A THOUGHT OF CLARIFICATION.
YEAH, I THINK WE WERE FOCUSING ON THE REDEVELOPMENT OF, OR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THAT VACANT PARCEL.
BUT THAT DOES RAISE A GOOD POINT FOR US TO TALK THROUGH.
'CAUSE I MEAN WE HAVE HAD INTERNAL CONVERSATIONS ABOUT, WELL WHAT IF WE WANTED TO DO SOMETHING MORE HOLISTIC THERE.
I DON'T KNOW IF EXISTING USERS WOULD WANT THAT, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE WOULD WOULDN'T CONSIDER IT NECESSARILY.
I JUST WONDERED IF, I MEAN, AGAIN, IF THAT CAME TO US, WHAT WOULD BE OUR, YEAH, OKAY.
HOW WOULD WE RESPOND TO IT? THE, THE OTHER THING ABOUT, AGAIN, JUST A POINT OF CLARIFICATION, AGAIN, BACK TO GRAPHICS AND COLORS, WHICH WILL BE DIFFERENT ON EVERY PRINTER YOU PUT IT ON AND BE DIFFERENT ON EVERY MONITOR.
BUT, UM, ON THE EMERALD QUARTER PLANET HAS TWO AREAS THAT LOOK LIKE RUSTY RED-ISH THAT ARE DIFFERENT THAN I THINK MULTIFAMILY AND THEY DON'T SHOW UP IN THE KEY.
AND ONE IS THE AREA WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT.
AND THEN THE AREA UP ON HARD ROAD SHOWS UP ALSO.
AND I'M NOT, SO I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT THAT IS.
IN THAT UPPER SECTION, I BELIEVE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE 11 BASED ON THE, THE PREVIOUS PAGE, BUT 11 IS ALSO ORPHANED ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE.
IT JUST HAS AN 11 WITH NO DEFINITION.
ALL ANY ANY OTHER CALL OUTS IN THE SPECIAL AREA PLANS.
UM, I HAVE ANOTHER ONE, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS DIDN'T COME UP EARLIER.
SO I'M LOOKING AT THE BRIDGE STREET DISTRICT ILLUSTRATIVE PLAN AND WE HAVE A A IN THE KEY, A COLOR CODE FOR WEST BRIDGE STREET, WHICH IS BOTH SIDES OF, YOU KNOW, IT'S THE GATEWAY COMING IN ON, ON WEST BRIDGE STREET.
BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANY, WE DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER, DO WE HAVE ANY VERBIAGE OR THERE'S NO GRAPHIC THAT DESCRIBES THAT, WHAT THAT AREA WANTS TO BE IS THAT I DIDN'T FIND, FIND THAT, UH, THAT'S THE METRO PLACE STUDY STUFF.
THIS IS NOT PART OF METRO PLACE NORTH.
SO IT'S THE EMBASSY SUITES AND THEN ACROSS THAT IT'S THE CAR DEALERSHIPS AND YEAH.
SO THERE'S MORE DESCRIPTION UNDER THAT SUB AREA, LIKE WHAT THE AREA, IT'S MORE LIKE WHAT IT DID.
BUT I MEAN, WE CAN DEFINITELY LOOK AT IF THERE NEEDS TO BE FURTHER OH, WEST OKAY.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT UNDER THE SUB AREA RECOMMENDATIONS? YEAH, THAT'S IT.
BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANY LIKE MORE
[01:15:01]
SPECIFIC AREA PLAN GRAPHICS.IT'S JUST BASICALLY LAND USE, A LAND USE DESIGNATION.
NOT NECESSARILY, BUT I CAN DEFINITELY, I FEEL LIKE WE'VE HAD SOME PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS AND BODY OF WORK THAT COULD BE USED TO INFORM THAT.
SO WE COULD DEFINITELY PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THAT.
'CAUSE I THINK EVERY, EVERY, THE REST OF THE AREA IS PRETTY, PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD, BUT, OKAY.
SO 53, AGAIN, WE SEEM VERY POINTED WITH BULLET WITH ICON 14.
WAS THERE A, A REASON FOR THAT? SO 14 IS INTEGRATE ENTERTAINMENT USES INTO DESIGN AND IDENTITY OF FUTURE REDEVELOPMENT.
THIS IS AGAIN, THAT SPECIFIC AREA.
THERE HAPPENS TO BE AN ENTERTAINMENT FACILITY THERE TODAY, BUT WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT IN OTHER AREAS OTHER THAN PARK AND REC, THAT SORT OF THING.
SO THAT ONE JUST I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT.
YEAH, I THINK THAT'S IN THE CURRENT PLAN AND, AND AGAIN, IT IS SORT OF LOOKING AT THAT EXISTING ENTERTAINMENT USE.
SO, UM, AGAIN, I THINK WE WERE TRYING TO REMAIN CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WAS THERE BEFORE, BUT IF YOU THINK THAT'S TOO POINTED, WE COULD DEFINITELY, SO WE WOULDN'T DISCOURAGE ENTERTAINMENT SURE.
AS AN ACCEPTED USE IN ANY OTHER AREAS.
SO CALLING IT OUT VERY SPECIFICALLY IN ONE.
I ALSO HAD A COMMENT ABOUT, AGAIN, UM, I THINK I KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS, BUT WE HAVE THE, THE LINK IS GRAPHIC STOPPING BEFORE YOU GET TO RIVERSIDE DRIVE.
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT'S, I THINK THAT'S THE CURRENT SCOPE, RIGHT? SO, BUT DOES IT, WOULD IT BE HELPFUL TO SOMEHOW HINT THAT IT'S DOESN'T, IT'S NOT JUST GONNA STOP THERE, BUT IT KEEPS GOING ALL THE WAY OUT TO OU AND BEYOND? JUST AGAIN, AS WE THINK ABOUT THIS AS A COMPLETE, YOU KNOW, DISTRICT THAT THAT'S THE FUTURE IS THAT THE LENGTH IS WOULD EXTEND OUT THERE.
I BELIEVE WHAT THE, UM, SPECIAL AREA PLAN IS TRYING TO DEPICT IS THE AREA WHERE THE DEDICATED LANE IS MEANT TO BE WITHIN THE, WITHIN DUBLIN.
THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE DE THAT DEDICATED GUIDEWAY.
SO IF IT EXTENDS OUT, IT'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
PARDON ME? IT, WHEN IT EXTENDS OUT, IT WILL BE A DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGY.
IT IT WILL ACTUALLY BE IN MIXED STREAM.
SO I BELIEVE THAT THAT'S WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO DESIGNATE.
I KNEW IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AND, AND MAYBE JUST THAT THE TRANSIT WILL CONTINUE, BUT IT MAY NOT BE THAT.
BECAUSE I, I, AGAIN, I IMPORTANT GATEWAY WESTBRIDGE STREETS IS IMPORTANT, IS EAST BRIDGE STREET.
SO UNDERSTANDING HOW TRANSIT, YEAH.
ANY OTHER CALL OUTS ON THE SUB AREA PLAN SECTION? OKAY.
MOVING ON TO APPENDICES QUESTIONS, CALL OUTS ON APPENDICES.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS NOT COVERED BY THE COMMISSION BEFORE WE OPEN UP? OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
IS THERE ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WHO WOULD LIKE TO MAKE COMMENT ON THIS PARTICULAR APPLICATION? HAVE WE RECEIVED ANY VIA THE LIVE STREAM? ALRIGHT.
WE ARE ASKED THIS EVENING FOR, UH, RECOMMENDATION, UH, TO, UH, SUBMIT THE PLAN AS WE'VE SEEN IT WITH THE COMMENTS THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS EVENING TO CITY COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION.
I WILL OPEN IT UP FOR DELIBERATION.
MR. WE SEEING AS YOU SAT ON THE, THE STEERING COMMITTEE WITH ME, I WILL HAVE YOU START US OFF.
SO AGAIN, UM, A GREAT PROCESS, UM, REALLY APPRECIATE BEING PART OF IT AND BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE INPUT, UH, REPRESENTING PLANNING AND ZONING, ALL OF YOU
SO, UM, AGAIN, I THINK THE, IT'S A GREAT PROCESS.
THE OUTCOME IS, IS REALLY SOLID.
I MEAN, YOU CAN NITPICK ANY KIND OF DOCUMENT LIKE THIS.
UM, SO I'M USUALLY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE NITPICK.
[01:20:01]
OVERALL, UM, FROM A BIG PICTURE, YOU KNOW, 30,000 FEET DOWN TO REALLY GETTING INTO THE RIGHT WORDS, I THINK IT'S, IT'S A REALLY GREAT COMPLETE DOCUMENT.AND, YOU KNOW, NO DOCUMENT WILL EVER BE PERFECT.
NO, NO PROCESS WILL BE PERFECT.
BUT I THINK THE OUTCOME OF THIS HAS BEEN TREMENDOUS AND I TOTALLY SUPPORT THE PLAN.
I JUST THINK IT'S, IT'S REALLY, UM, TAKING DUBLIN IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR THE FUTURE IN TERMS OF BEING A SMART, SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY.
SO THANK YOU MR. WE, MS. HARDER.
YEAH, I THINK, UM, FIRST OF ALL, IT'S A INCREDIBLE UNDERTAKING AND UH, THIS DOCUMENT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA SIT ON SOME SHELF SOMEPLACE.
IT'S GONNA BE A WORKING DOCUMENT, UM, THAT WE USE, LIKE WE SAID FROM THIS COMMITTEE, THE CITY AND, AND EVERYONE THAT WAY.
UM, AND I, I FEEL THAT, UM, UM, WHOEVER SITS IN THESE SEATS, UM, WILL EASILY BE ABLE TO, ON PNC WILL BE EASILY BE ABLE TO PICK IT UP AND TAKE IT AND READ IT.
AND I LIKE ALL THE LITTLE SECTIONS AND, AND, UH, AND ALSO YOU REALLY FEEL THAT IT IS FROM THE COMMUNITY AS WELL TOO, WHICH AGAIN, UH, WE THANK THE STAFF, UM, UH, UH, MISSED CALL.
AND ALSO MR. WAVE FOR PARTICIPATING ON ALL OF THOSE COMMITTEES.
UM, I HAPPENED TO, UH, SIT ON ONE IN THE BACK AND AGAIN, IT WAS INCREDIBLE TO SEE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND I WENT TO ONE THAT WAS TOWARDS THE END AND PROBABLY HAD ABOUT THE SAME NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT I BET YOU HAD FROM THE BEGINNING.
UH, WHEN YOU SEE LIKE EIGHT OR 10 TABLES FILLED WITH PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE COMMUNITY SCHOOL, UM, CITY COUNCIL BUSINESSES, CHAMBERS AND SO FORTH, THAT THAT'S, THAT'S VERY INCREDIBLE THERE TOO.
AND THEN, UH, RECENTLY I THOUGHT I'D MENTIONED THIS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IT'S ON EVERYBODY'S MIND AND SO FORTH, BUT, UM, RECENTLY THE COMMUNITY HEALTH, UM, UH, NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORTED TO CITY COUNCIL.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP WAS THAT THREE OUT OF FOUR RESIDENTS REPORTED FEELING NOT CONNECTED WITHIN THEIR, UM, HOMES WHERE THEY LIVE IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS AND MAYBE THEY DON'T KNOW THEIR NEIGHBOR'S NAMES AND OR THEY DON'T, UM, THEY DON'T SEE THEM IN THE WINTER 'CAUSE THEY'RE GOING IN AND OUTTA THEIR GARAGES.
MAYBE THEY DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE ASKING THEM FOR SUGAR.
BUT, UM, I REALLY THINK THAT THIS PLAN IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS.
IT'S LIKE HOW YOU PLACE THE HOUSING.
UM, AND ALSO JUST THE, UM, THE DIFFERENT VARIETY OF HOUSING THAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE, WHICH WE HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE.
AND ALL THE ACTIVITIES IN GREEN SPACES.
PEOPLE THINKING AHEAD OF THAT.
UM, MOBILITY AGAIN IS GOING TO HELP A LOT WITH THAT.
AND TRANSPORTATION, JUST MOVING THE PEDESTRIANS UP AND THINK THINKING ABOUT CARS AND MOVING THEM A A BIT DOWN, BUT ALSO KNOWING THAT THAT'S NOT AN EASY TRANSITION.
AND YOU GOTTA THINK ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THAT TOO.
AND THAT IS IN HERE ABOUT THAT IS, IS HAVING BARRIERS BETWEEN OUR, UM, UH, BIKE RIDERS AND CARS.
AND UH, AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, WHEN, WHEN WE WANNA MAKE ROUNDABOUTS SO IMPORTANT, WE NEED TO, UM, EDUCATE OUR, OUR COMMUNITY THAT LOOKING OUT FOR, FOR BIKERS AND WALKERS AT THE SAME, IT'S THE SAME PLACE THERE TOO.
SO AGAIN, I WAS IN INCREDIBLY, UM, TAKEN BACK BY ALL THE WORK THAT WAS DONE.
UM, A YEAR AND A HALF SOUNDS LIKE A, A, A LONG TIME, BUT IT IS NOT
SO AGAIN, I THINK OUR TOOLBOX IS FULL.
I THINK, UM, THAT PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE ABLE TO, UM, READ IT AND SEE IT.
IT'S GONNA BE A HELP TO OUR COMMUNITY TO UNDERSTAND THAT.
AND I'M TOTALLY, UM, IN FAVOR OF IT.
YEAH, I, I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN SAID.
OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A LOT OF TIME AND EXPERTISE.
I THINK I TOLD THIS TO JENNY MANY TIMES, IT'S KIND OF HARD TO, I FELT IT WAS OVERWHELMING TO REVIEW 'CAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH CONTENT IN THERE AND KNOWING THAT, I MEAN, THE LIST IN THE FRONT OF EVERYBODY THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THIS IS KNOWS A HECK A LOT MORE ABOUT THIS THAN I DO.
SO I, IT WAS, IT'S IT, BUT I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO REVIEW AND TO, TO, TO PROVIDE INPUT.
AND I THINK WE KIND OF LOOKED AT IT WITH A FINE TOOTH COMB.
I WILL ADD, UM, I UNDERSTAND THE, THE DIFFICULT, THE, UM, I GUESS BEING VERY CLEAR ON THE GRAPHICS.
I LOOK AT THIS AND I, AND I AGREE, I THINK WE NEED TO KIND OF MAYBE CLEAN UP THE COLORS, BUT THIS TO ME IS INCREDIBLY HELPFUL IN TERMS OF, IT'S SO VISUAL, IT'S SO CLEAR.
IT LAYS IT OUT AS A VERY EASY, UH, KATHY, I THINK YOU REFERENCED HOW WE CAN REFERENCE IT AND NOT JUST PUT AWAY, I MEAN, IF THIS WAS ALL COPY, AND I'VE SEEN THOSE BEFORE, I'VE TRIED
[01:25:01]
TO READ THROUGH THOSE AND IT'S VERY DIFFICULT.SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THE EFFORT.
THAT WAS NOT THE EFFORT GOING INTO THE WHOLE THING, BUT SPECIFICALLY THE EFFORT TO MAKE IT VERY, VERY EASY TO USE FOR PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF, UM, VISUAL PEOPLE.
UM, AND IT, IT JUST, IT TO ME, IT SPELLS IT OUT VERY CLEARLY.
SO I, AGAIN, I COMMEND THE EFFORT FROM ALL ASPECTS OF IT, BUT THE ACTUAL PHYSICAL DOCUMENT I THINK IS, IS VERY, VERY NICELY PUT TOGETHER.
THIS HAS BEEN, UH, A LABOR AND, YOU KNOW, MR. WAY, AND I SAT ON THE, THE STEERING COMMITTEE, BUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT WE PUT IN WAS A PITTANCE COMPARED TO SOME OF THE OTHER STAKEHOLDERS.
AND SO A SINCERE APPRECIATION FROM ALL OF US BECAUSE IT WAS A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT, BUT IT WAS IN AN INVESTMENT IN THE DEVELOPMENT SCRIPT THAT DUBLIN IS GOING TO USE FOR THE NEXT DECADE OR TWO.
SO I APPRECIATE ALL OF THE EFFORT.
THE, THE AMAZING PART TO ME IS THE COLLABORATIVE EFFORT IN GETTING US TO THIS POINT.
ON THAT STEERING COMMITTEE, WE DIDN'T JUST HAVE MEMBERS OF STAFF AND PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND, UH, APPOINTED OFFICIALS LIKE OURSELVES.
WE HAD DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS FROM THE SCHOOLS.
WE HAD DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS FROM, UH, OF COURSE OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS IN BUSINESS HOSPITALS.
WE EVEN HAD A STUDENT ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE.
AND SO THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT THAT WENT IN JUST IN ADVANCE OF, IN SETTING UP THAT COLLABORATIVE COMMITTEE TO GET US TO THIS POINT WAS AMAZING.
SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO WAS INVOLVED.
UM, AGAIN, THIS, THIS HAS BEEN JUST AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY AND I CERTAINLY SEE THE, THE FRUITS OF OUR LABORS IN THE DOCUMENTATION.
SO WITH THAT, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO RECOMMEND TO CITY COUNCIL ADOPTION OF THE ENVISION DUBLIN COMMUNITY PLAN UPDATE AS STAFF WORKS ON THE FEEDBACK PROVIDED THIS EVENING.
THANK YOU, MR. WE DO I HAVE A SECOND.
UH, WELL THANK YOU TO EVERYONE AGAIN, OUR EXPRESS APPRECIATION FOR ALL OF THE EFFORT THAT WENT INTO THIS.
[COMMUNICATIONS]
THERE ANY COMMUNICATIONS THAT WE HAVE THIS EVENING? UM, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING, UM, NECESSARILY JUST WANTED TO SHARE THEN ABOUT THE JANUARY 13TH MEETING.SO WE WILL END UP CANCELING THAT GIVEN THE NUMBER OF CONFLICTS, UM, WITH THAT MEETING AND NOT HAVING QUORUM.
SO, UM, WE'LL SHARE THAT BACK WITH OUR APPLICANTS AND GET THEM ON THE, EITHER THE NEXT MEETING AND IF WE NEED TO HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING TO DO SOMETHING ELSE, THEN I MAY BE IN TOUCH ABOUT THAT.
SO LET'S, WE'LL LOOK AT THE CALENDAR AND FIGURE OUT WHAT EVERYBODY'S SCHEDULE'S LOOKING LIKE.
SO I APPRECIATE THE HEADS UP ON THAT AHEAD OF TIME.
SO, AND THEN WE DO HAVE A SPECIAL, UM, THE APPRECIATION MEETING.
I DON'T REMEMBER THE DATE ON THAT.
I WOULD BE TERRIBLY REMISSED YES.
IF I DIDN'T REMIND YOU OF THAT.
SO JUNE THE THIRD, UM, WE WILL HAVE THE NEW MEMBERS RECOGNITION FOR NEW MEMBERS AND OUTGOING MEMBERS, INCLUDING SWEARING IN BEFORE THE COUNCIL MEETING.
SO AT FIVE 30 THERE'LL BE A LITTLE RECEPTION.
UM, AND I THINK SOME OF YOU HAD THAT WHERE YOU WERE COMING AND, AND AGAIN, IT'S NICE TO MEET YOUR, THE NEW MEMBERS AND HELP WELCOME THEM AS WELL.
UM, SO THAT'LL BE HAPPENING BEFORE THAT JUNE 3RD, UM, COUNCIL MEETING HERE, HERE IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS.
SO WE DEFINITELY INVITE YOU TO, TO ATTEND.
SO, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE COMMISSION, THIS WILL BE, YOU KNOW, SOME OF OUR NEW MEMBERS.
IT WILL BE THEIR FIRST INTRODUCTION.
SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO ATTEND AND, AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO THOSE NEW COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, UM, WELL, AS YOU REMEMBER, JOINING THE COMMISSION CAN BE SOMEWHAT OVERWHELMING.
LUCKILY THEY'RE NOT HERE AS THEIR FIRST MEETING TONIGHT BECAUSE AS MR. CHIN SAID, THE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL AND PREPARATION FOR THIS MEETING WOULD'VE BEEN, I THINK, ENOUGH TO MAYBE DISSUADE THEIR UH, YES.
SO AT LEAST SOME OF THEM ARE GOING TO HIT THE GROUND RUNNING.
ALRIGHT, ANY FINAL DISCUSSION WITH THAT MR. WE MADE AUR.
