          IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          THERE YOU GO. 
          YOU'RE ALL SET. 
          GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. 
          DAN HAMEL. 
          5 7 2 5 TRAFALGAR LANE. 
          WANTED TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING, UH, THAT I, THAT I RECENTLY LEARNED ABOUT WAS THE LINK AHEAD PODCAST. 
          AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE OUR LINDSAY HERE, ONE OF THE HOSTS. 
          I THINK BRUCE IS THE OTHER PERSON THAT HOSTED WITH YOU. 
          UM, IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE PODCAST, IT'S SOMETHING WHERE YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT, UH, WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE CITY. 
          'CAUSE I PRETTY MUCH HAD MY HEAD IN THE SAND THE LAST FEW YEARS UNTIL WE GOT INTO THIS PROGRESS, BUT I FOUND IT A GOOD TOOL TO, UH, LISTEN TO A LOT OF WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN ON THE SHOW. 
          I KNOW DR. 
          LAM, YOU WERE JUST RECENTLY ON, AND, UH, I'M NOT SURE IF WE'VE HAD, WE HAD OUR COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE WARD TWO YET. 
          LINDSAY HAS WENDY BEEN ON THE SHOW? I THINK WE NEED TO GET HER ON THE SHOW THERE AND LET, UH, THE REST OF DUBLIN GET TO KNOW OUR WARD REP, WARD TWO REPRESENTATIVE, THE WAY WE ALL DO IN THE WARD TWO. 
          BUT THE REASON I BRING THIS UP IS I RECENTLY SAW AN EPISODE LEADING UP TO THE MEREFIELD TOURNAMENT, AND JACK NICHOLAS WAS ON THERE. 
          AND I, ONE QUOTE JACK SAID DURING THE INTERVIEW REALLY RESONATED WITH ME, AND I WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH EVERYBODY. 
          JACK SAID MUIRFIELD HAS BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE GROWTH OF DUBLIN, AND WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THAT. 
          AND DUBLIN'S BECOME A VERY NICE COMMUNITY AND THE POWERS TO BE IN THE COMMUNITY AND DUBLIN HAVE DONE A VERY NICE JOB OF GROWING IT AND PROTECTING IT AND MAKING SURE, AND THIS IS REALLY WHAT I, UH, IT WAS A KEY POINT, MAKING SURE THAT IT'S NOT BECOME JUST A SPRAWL. 
          IT'S BECOME A NICE COMMUNITY. 
          SO WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THAT. 
          VERY PROUD, PROUD OF THAT TO BE A PART OF IT. 
          SO THAT'S JUST WHAT I WANTED TO REMIND EVERYBODY HERE TONIGHT AND EVERYBODY ON COUNCIL AS WE VOTE ON THINGS THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR AND IN THE FUTURE, LET'S TAKE JACK'S ADVICE AND MAKE SURE WE CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE DUBLIN'S NOT A SPRAWL. 
          AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR THIS. 
          THANKS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANYONE ELSE? OKAY. 
          HEARING NONE. 
          THIS, UH, BRINGS US TO THE CONSENT AGENDA. 
          OH, LATE ENTRY. 
          SURE. 
          COME ON UP. 
          THIS IS FOR ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA THIS EVENING. 
          SO IF ONE OF THE, UM, ONE OF THE, UH, AGENDA ITEMS IS WHAT YOU CAME TO SPEAK ON, WE WILL HEAR, TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT IN THIS. 
          SO THIS IS FOR SOMETHING THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO OR IS NOT ON AN ITEM FOR THIS EVENING'S AGENDA. 
          GREAT. 
          IF YOU WOULD PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          IF YOU PRESS THAT LITTLE BUTTON THERE, THE GREEN LIGHT WILL COME ON. 
          THERE'S A BUTTON. 
          NOPE, NOPE, NOPE. 
          RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF YOU. 
          THERE YOU GO. 
          PERFECT. 
          HI. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, MY NAME IS DEBRA KROLL AND I LIVE AT 7 0 1 5 BALL TRADE LUBE, DUBLIN. 
          UM, I, I'M HERE BECAUSE I WANTED TO JUST GO OVER THE VISION AND THE MISSION, UM, STATEMENTS THAT I FOUND ON THE DUBLIN CITY WEBSITE. 
          AND YOU TALK ABOUT, UM, YOUR VISION IS THE MOST SUSTAINABLE, CONNECTED, AND RESILIENT GLOBAL CITY OF CHOICE. 
          AND I WANNA, I I FOCUSED ON THAT WORD SUSTAINABLE. 
          UH, IT'S MENTIONED AGAIN, UM, I BELIEVE, WHERE DID I SEE THAT IT WAS MENTIONED AGAIN, BUT NOW I DON'T HAVE MY NOTES THAT REFERENCE THAT. 
          BUT YOUR MISSION ALSO TALKS ABOUT, UM, HOW YOU STRIVE TO PROVIDE THE BEST QUALITY OF LIFE AND ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH OUR RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES CAN THRIVE. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S 
          [00:05:01]

          AND IN, IN THAT LIGHT, TALKING ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY, AND I'D LIKE TO UNDERSTAND MORE ABOUT WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY. 
          ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SUSTAINING THE, THE COMMUNITY IN A WHOLE AS A WHOLE? THE COMMUNITY'S HEALTH, THE COMMUNITY'S, UM, LEISURE. 
          I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT ALL ENCOMPASSES, SO I'D LIKE TO UNDERSTAND THAT FULLY OR BETTER. 
          UM, I GUESS MY, MY IMMEDIATE CONCERN IS WITH ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, UM, I OBVIOUSLY WE'RE NOW LOOKING AT SOME HEAT. 
          I, I, I GUESS THAT I, I WONDER ABOUT HOW DIGGING UP ALL OF THAT FARMLAND AND PUTTING DOWN PARKING LOTS, PAVING OVER THAT, HOW MUCH HEAT THAT, THAT, THAT, THAT THOSE PARKING LOTS GIVE OFF. 
          AND I WONDER IF THERE'S ANY PLANNING AROUND, UH, GREEN, I THINK THEY CALL IT GREEN PARKING LOTS. 
          ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THAT? I, I, I, I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD THROW THAT OUT THERE, BECAUSE I THINK THAT IF, IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THIS DEVELOPMENT, COULD WE DO IT ENVIRONMENTALLY TO MAKE IT MORE TALK ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY, SUSTAIN OUR WATER SUPPLY, SUSTAIN OUR ENVIRONMENT? UM, I'M GOING TO STOP SPEAKING NOW. 
          UH, BUT THAT'S MY, MY MAIN CONCERN. 
          IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT AND WORKING TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY, LET'S SUSTAIN OUR LIFE.

          WELCOME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. 
          UM, AS, UH, THE CLERK INTRODUCED, THIS IS ORDINANCE 33 26, WHICH WAS INTRODUCED AT YOUR, UM, UH, YOUR ONE OF YOUR JUNE MEETINGS. 
          UM, AND AS I WILL GO THROUGH HERE IN A MINUTE, WE HAVE, UM, PROVIDED SOME ADDITIONAL CHANGES AND SOME FEEDBACK AND CLARIFICATIONS BASED ON COUNCIL'S COMMENTS. 
          UM, SO AS WE SHARED, UM, WHEN THIS WAS INTRODUCED, THIS HAS BEEN PART OF A LONG PROCESS, UM, PRODUCTIVE PROCESS INCLUDING PLANNING AND ZONING, COMMISSION REVIEWS AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE INTRODUCTION TO COUNCIL ON JUNE 8TH. 
          AND THEN WE ARE BACK HERE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT, UH, WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR YOUR DETERMINATION. 
          UM, AS WE'VE SHARED PREVIOUSLY, UM, THIS BEGAN WITH A REZONING, UM, A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. 
          UM, AND THAT BEING REQUESTED BY COUNCIL TO BE TABLED IN AUGUST OF LAST YEAR FOR US TO DO SOME TARGETED AMENDMENTS AND THIS WORK AS A RESULT OF THOSE, UM, THOSE OPPORTUNITIES TO MEET AND HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC, TALK TO OUR STAKEHOLDERS, UM, WORK WITH THE CONSULTANT TEAM AND BRING FORWARD, UM, BEFORE YOU TONIGHT, UM, THESE DRAFT AMENDMENTS, UM, TO THE CODE AND TO, UM, THE BUFFER STUDY. 
          SO THE REZONING PIECE OF THAT WILL BE HANDLED, UM, WITH THE ORDINANCE THAT WILL FOLLOW THIS ONE ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA. 
          UM, IN TERMS OF WHAT WE USED AS OUR BACKGROUND AND BASE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS ID SIX AMENDMENT, UM, WHICH IS A MAJORITY OF WHAT IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT. 
          UM, REALLY LOOKING AT THAT FLEX INNOVATION DISTRICT FUTURE LAND USE, UM, DESIGNATION IN THE COMMUNITY PLAN TO HELP GUIDE US AND PROVIDE, UM, THE BACKGROUND FOR WHAT THAT COULD INCLUDE. 
          UM, AND THEN, THEN WORKING FROM THERE, AGAIN, KNOWING THE TRANSITION TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND HOW ARE WE MAKING SURE THAT'S DONE SENSITIVELY. 
          UM, AND INCLUDING PROVISIONS IN THE DRAFT CODE, UM, WHICH YOU HAVE IN YOUR PACKET TO, TO ADDRESS THAT. 
          UM, OUR DRAFT AMENDMENTS ALSO INCLUDE, UM, RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ALIGN WITH THE SPECIAL AREA PLAN FROM THE COMMUNITY PLAN, INCLUDING, UM, ALONG THAT CAUSE GRAVE FRONTAGE, A 200 FOOT, UM, BUFFER, UM, AS WELL AS, YOU KNOW, VERY, UM, SENSITIVE DETAILS TO HOW DEVELOPMENT HAPPENS AS WELL. 
          AGAIN, FOLLOWING, UM, THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE PLAN. 
          WE'VE ALSO HAD A VERY ROBUST PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AS PART OF THIS. 
          AS I MENTIONED AT THE BEGINNING, UM, SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC MEETINGS, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES WITH ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS. 
          UM, THAT HAS REALLY HELPED GUIDE, GUIDE OUR WORK. 
          UM, WE SHARED THIS LAST TIME, AND THIS WAS INCLUDED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AS SORT OF OUR ROADMAP, UM, OF WHAT, WHAT'S INCLUDED AT A HIGH LEVEL IN THIS DRAFT AMENDMENT. 
          SO AGAIN, THE CREATION OF THAT NEW ZONING DISTRICT FOR ID SIX, WHICH IS REALLY LOOKING AT THAT LOW INTENSITY RESEARCH INNOVATION, UM, ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL, NO DATA CENTERS. 
          SO THOSE ARE BEING REMOVED FROM THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT. 
          THAT 200 FOOT SETBACK THAT I MENTIONED ALONG COS GRAY TO PROVIDE BUFFERING AND LANDSCAPING TO HELP PERVER PROVIDE THAT, UM, APPEALING STREET SCAPE ALONG COS GRAY REMOVING, UM, STANDALONE WAREHOUSES AND WHOLESALING AND DISTRIBUTION WITHIN ID SIX. 
          REDUCING BUILDING HEIGHTS FROM WHAT WAS CURRENTLY PERMITTED AT 68 TO 45. 
          UM, INCLUDING OPERATIONAL LIMITATIONS, BASICALLY REQUIRING EVERYTHING TO HAPPEN INSIDE THE BUILDING. 
          SO NO OUTDOOR STORAGE, OPERATIONS, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. 
          AGAIN, HELPING US TO GET TO THAT SENSITIVITY AND TRANSITION TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          AND THEN VERY USE SPECIFIC STANDARDS AND DESIGN STANDARDS RELATED TO NOISE, LIGHTING, VISUAL IMPACT SERVICE AREAS, ALL THOSE THINGS SO THAT WE CAN BE VERY SENSITIVE TO HOW FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA WOULD, UM, WOULD BE HANDLED. 
          SO IN TERMS OF UPDATES THAT, UM, WERE MADE FROM THE LAST MEETING, THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT, UM, HELPING TO MAYBE REFINE A LITTLE BIT MORE AND PUTTING A LITTLE BIT MORE, UM, DETAIL TO ENSURING THAT THE RIGHT USES ARE IN THIS DISTRICT, RIGHT? THE ONES THAT ARE THE MOST SENSITIVE AND NOT, UM, AGAIN, OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE QUALITY USES THAT ARE NOT, YOU KNOW, HARMING, UM, ANY RESIDENTS. 
          SO, UM, THERE WAS A SUGGESTION ABOUT BIOSAFETY LEVELS AND THOSE TYPES OF CRITERIA THAT WE WOULD USE. 
          SO WE'VE INCLUDED THAT AS PART OF THE INTENT STATEMENT, THAT OUR GOAL IS TO MINIMIZE THAT, RIGHT, AND THAT THERE'S, WE'RE NOT TARGETING USES THAT ARE GONNA HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT. 
          SO WE'VE INCLUDED THAT. 
          UM, WITH ANY UPDATED LANGUAGE FOR THE INTENT STATEMENT IN ID SIX, THERE WAS ALSO A REQUEST, UM, TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR THAT DATA CENTER, SO THE USE IS IN THE TABLE, BUT WHEN 
          [00:15:01]
YOU LOOK AT WHAT IS PERMITTED OR CONDITIONAL, THAT HAS BEEN LEFT BLANK. 
          SO THAT'S VERY CLEAR THAT THERE'S NOT A LOOPHOLE THAT YOU COULD HAVE A DATA CENTER 'CAUSE IT'S NOT IN THE USED CHANNEL. 
          SO WE MADE THAT CHANGE AS WELL, UM, AGAIN, TO KEEP, MAKE THAT CLEAR THAT THOSE ARE NOT PERMITTED. 
          UM, AND THEN THERE WAS A REQUEST OR CLARIFICATION ABOUT THE OPACITY REQUIREMENTS AND WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE. 
          SO WE WENT BACK AND HAD SOME GOOD CONVERSATION WITH OUR CONSULTANT TEAM, UM, THAT WAS HELPING WITH THAT. 
          SO IT'S REALLY THE GOAL OF THAT BUFFERING. 
          SO IT'S NOT A NUMERICAL, UM, CALCULATION, BUT REALLY LOOKING AT HOW WITH THE REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE DESIGN MANUAL THAT INCLUDES THE MOUNDING AND THE LANDSCAPING AND ALL OF THE HEIGHT OF THE MOUND, BREADTH OF THE MOUND, THAT REALLY HELPS TO CREATE THAT GOAL OF 90% OPACITY. 
          UM, AND THAT'S CONSISTENT THAT THAT WOULD HAPPEN IN THAT FOUR TO FIVE YEAR PERIOD. 
          SO ONCE IT HAPPENS, IT'S GONNA TAKE A LITTLE WHILE TO GET THERE, BUT OUR GOAL IS THAT YOU WOULD THEN HAVE THAT 90% OPACITY, UM, AS PART OF THAT. 
          UM, SO THAT'S ALL THAT THE UPDATES THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE DRAFT CODE. 
          WE DID PROVIDE SOME DETAILED INFORMATION, WHICH I'M GONNA GO OVER AT A HIGH LEVEL. 
          HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS. 
          UM, THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS THAT THE A RT HAS REVIEWED. 
          SO WE INCLUDED SOME EXAMPLES OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPLICATIONS THAT A RT HAS REVIEWED, WHICH, UM, WE INCLUDED SOME THE NEW DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS. 
          SO NEW BUILDINGS, WHOLE NEW BUILDINGS, MAJOR ADDITIONS TO EXISTING BUILDINGS. 
          UM, SO THESE ARE SOME EXAMPLES ON YOUR SCREEN. 
          AND THEN AS WE'VE MENTIONED BEFORE, IF THERE ARE PARTICULAR PARTS OF THOSE DEVELOPMENTS THAT DON'T MEET THE CODE, THOSE GET FORWARDED TO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND THEY GET TO REVIEW THOSE PARTICULAR DETAILS. 
          SO, UH, WE HIGHLIGHTED IN THE MEMO, UM, THE, UM, 6 7, 7 7 CROSBY COURT WAS AN INSTANCE OF THAT, AS WELL AS THE OHIO UNIVERSITY'S, UM, COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND PROFESSIONAL OR HEALTH SCIENCES AND PROFESSIONS. 
          SO THOSE ARE TWO EXAMPLES OF WHEN, WHEN WE HAD TO TAKE SOMETHING ADDITIONAL FORWARD TO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. 
          UM, WE ALSO HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT TYPES OF INFORMATION WE WOULD BE LOOKING FOR FOR USERS WHEN THEY COME FORWARD THAT WE WOULD WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT THEIR OPERATIONS ARE AND HOW TO JUDGE THAT. 
          SO, UM, WE WENT BACK AND HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT TYPES OF INFORMATION THAT COULD INCLUDE. 
          SO IT COULD BE, AND WE'VE LISTED IT HERE, ACOUSTICAL INFORMATION, EMISSIONS RATES, ENVIRONMENTAL, SO AGAINST TO SOME OF THE PUBLIC COMMENT ALREADY ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS. 
          UM, YEAH, WATER AND SEWER WASTEWATER, THE BIOSAFETY LEVEL PIECE OF THAT. 
          EMERGENCY FACILITY RESPONSES. 
          SO AGAIN, THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE ARE GONNA, IT'S GONNA DEPEND ON THE USER, RIGHT? SO THIS WILL FLEX DEPENDING ON THAT. 
          BUT THIS IS OUR GOAL IS THIS IS THE TYPE OF INFORMATION, UM, THAT WE WOULD INCLUDE. 
          AND THEN AS A COMPLIMENT TO THAT, HELPING TO ARTICULATE THE BUILDING STANDARDS AND FIRE REVIEW PROCESS. 
          SO THEY ARE PART OF THAT A RT, THEY'RE PART OF THE STAFF REVIEW OF AN APPLICATION WHEN IT COMES FORWARD. 
          THEY'RE ALSO ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW TEAM, UM, AND DO THEIR REVIEWS AND PROVIDE COMMENTS AS PART OF THAT. 
          THEY ALSO DO THEIR REVIEWS AS PART OF BUILDING STANDARDS AND SITE PERMITTING, RIGHT? SO THEY'RE REVIEWING ALL THOSE OTHER ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS IN ADDITION TO WHAT THE CODE WOULD REQUIRE FROM THE OHIO BUILDING CODE AND THE FIRE CODE. 
          UM, AND THEN ONCE A BUILDING IS APPROVED AND OPERATING, THEY'RE ALSO THEN CONDUCTING INSPECTIONS, RIGHT? SO THIS IS NOT A, YOU COME IN AND YOU TALK TO ZONING, AND THAT'S THE ONLY TIME WE HAVE THIS CONVERSATION, RATHER, THIS IS A REALLY THOUGHTFUL AND ONGOING PROCESS, UM, THAT'S ESTABLISHED AND, AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO USE THAT. 
          SO THOUGHT THAT WAS HELPFUL TO HELP PROVIDE THAT CONTEXT, UM, FOR HOW WE, HOW WE MANAGE, UM, REVIEW OF PROJECTS ANYWHERE IN THE CITY. 
          SO IN TERMS OF, UM, WHERE WE ARE TONIGHT, THIS IS THE, WE SHARED THIS AT THE JUNE 8TH MEETING. 
          THIS WAS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION. 
          THE HIGHLIGHTED PARTS WERE, UM, ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE THAT WAS ADDED AND INCORPORATED, UM, ALREADY IN YOUR DRAFT. 
          BUT PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MADE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL WITH THESE TWO CONDITIONS. 
          UM, AND THAT IS WHAT, IN ADDITION TO THE CHANGES THAT WE SHARED ON THE EIGHTH AND THE ADDITIONAL ONES FOR TONIGHT, UH, WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS ORDINANCE, UM, FOR COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION. 
          SO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. 
          GREG DALE'S HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CODE, AND CHRIS WILLS HERE TO, UM, ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BUFFER STUDY. 
          SO HAPPY TO, HAPPY TO ANSWER THAT. 
          VERY GOOD, THANK YOU. 
          THIS WILL BRING US TO THE PUBLIC COMMENT PORTION OF OUR AGENDA, AND I BELIEVE WE'VE HAD SOME FOLKS SIGN IN. 
          SO WE WILL, UM, GO THROUGH THE LIST OF FOLKS THAT HAVE SIGNED IN FIRST, AND IF YOU DID NOT HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY AND YOU STILL WISH TO SPEAK, UH, WE WILL RECOGNIZE YOU, UH, AFTER THOSE THAT HAVE SIGNED IN HAVE. 
          SO, LINDSAY, KEVIN HAGGERTY, WELCOME. 
          IF YOU COULD PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          HELLO, MY NAME IS KEVIN HAGGERTY. 
          UM, I LIVE AT 5 6 8 7 WILCOX ROAD, UM, WHICH IS ON LIKE THE SOUTH SIDE OF DUBLIN. 
          AND, UM, I WANTED TO START WITH, UM, SO DATA CENTERS PRODUCE A, THEY USE A LOT OF WATER FOR 
          [00:20:01]
COOLING. 
          UM, AND IN SOME CASES, I KNOW THERE'S SOME CLAIMS THAT THEY ARE A CLOSED LOOP SYSTEM, SO THAT DOESN'T GET EXPELLED. 
          UM, BUT IN SOME CASES THEY'RE NOT A CLOSED LOOP SYSTEM. 
          UM, SO THAT WATER ENDS UP, UM, KIND OF DRAINING OFF, UM, AND PERMITTING THE GROUND, UM, WHICH CAN POLLUTE GROUNDWATER. 
          UM, I PERSONALLY AM ON A WELL SYSTEM. 
          UM, WE GET OUR DRINKING WATER FROM THE GROUND. 
          UM, AND I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE KIND OF IN THIS WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT, UM, ALSO PULL WATER FROM THE, WELL, THEY'RE NOT HOOKED UP TO THE SEWERS. 
          UM, SO THAT COULD POLLUTE THEIR WATER. 
          UM, IN ADDITION, UH, DATA CENTERS PUT OFF A LOT OF HEAT, UM, BECAUSE THEY'RE DOING A LOT OF COMPUTING. 
          UM, THESE ELECTRONICS PRODUCE A LOT OF HEAT, UM, DUE TO THAT. 
          SO THERE'S A LOT OF HEAT POLLUTION, OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A LOT OF, UM, IT'S VERY HOT TODAY. 
          UM, AND THAT WOULD JUST KIND OF MAKE THAT WORSE, UH, AND MAKE CLIMATE CHANGE WORSE AS A WHOLE. 
          UM, IN ADDITION, THEY, UH, PULL A LOT OF WATER, UM, OR SORRY, THEY PULL A LOT OF ENERGY FROM OUR ELECTRICAL GRID, UM, WHICH CAN CAUSE, UM, ENERGY RATES TO GO UP AND CAUSES FARTHER STRAIN ON OUR, UM, ON OUR GRID AS A WHOLE. 
          UM, IN ADDITION, I LIVE ABOUT TWO THIRDS OF A MILE FROM, UM, TWO 70, AND THERE'S A PRETTY MUCH CONSTANT HUM FROM THE FREEWAY. 
          UM, AND I CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIKE IN BALL TRAY. 
          AND THEN KIND OF AS DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES TO HEAD WEST, UM, OF DUBLIN, HOW THOSE NEWER, UM, SUBURBAN DEVELOPMENTS AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS, UM, WOULD BE IN FACT IMPACTED BY FUTURE, UM, DATA CENTER, NOISE POLLUTION. 
          UM, THE, THE FANS, UM, ARE VERY LOUD AND THERE'S PLENTY OF INFORMATION ONLINE ABOUT JUST HOW LOUD THOSE CAN BE AT THAT PROXIMITY. 
          UM, THAT, THAT WOULD JUST BE VERY UNPLEASANT TO LIVE WITH ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS. 
          UM, THERE'S ALSO THE, UM, THERE'S THE PROPOSED AMTRAK, WHICH IS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THAT CURRENT AMAZON DATA CENTER. 
          UM, AND I'M, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THAT MIGHT IMPACT THE PEOPLE THAT MIGHT WANT TO LIVE OR WORK THERE, UM, WHILE THEY'RE TRYING TO GO ABOUT THEIR DAY-TO-DAY WHILE HAVING THAT RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. 
          OR PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE COMING INTO DUBLIN, UM, FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME TO VISIT, FOR WHATEVER REASON, AND THEY GET OFF THE TRAIN AND IMMEDIATELY, OR THEY'RE MET WITH, UM, VERY LOUD DRONING, UM, DATA CENTERS. 
          SO I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. 
          AND, UM, TO THAT EXTENT, I SUPPORT THIS BAN ON DATA CENTERS IN THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT, UM, ESPECIALLY OF THAT SIZE. 
          AND I WOULD ALSO SUPPORT A BAND, UM, KIND OF OVERALL WITHIN THE ALL OF DUBLIN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, LINDSAY. 
          NEXT, DANIEL HAMILL. 
          DANIEL IS DANIEL HERE. 
          JENNIFER HAMBLE. 
          VERY GOOD. 
          IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          IF YOU COULD PRESS THAT LITTLE BUTTON THERE AND YOUR GREEN LIGHT WILL COME ON. 
          IT'S RIGHT, SHOULD BE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE MICROPHONE. 
          THIS ONE? YEP. 
          FIRST. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          HI, I'M JENNIFER HAMILL. 
          I LIVE AT, UH, 57 25 TRAFALGAR LANE. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO START BY ADDRESSING MS. CRAMS COMMENTS FROM JUNE 8TH THAT WE'VE GOTTEN TO A REALLY GOOD POINT. 
          SHE'S REFERRING TO THIS LANGUAGE. 
          UM, WE SPENT A YEAR DRAFTING THIS. 
          WE'VE TAKEN A LOT OF INPUT AND I THINK WE'VE DONE REALLY WELL. 
          UM, AND MAYOR AM AMS GROOMS SPOKE ABOUT THE INTENT STATEMENT RIGHT AFTER THAT, SAYING IT'S REALLY WONDERFUL THAT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN PUT, PUT TOGETHER BY SO MANY PEOPLE, UM, IN SO MANY HANDS. 
          I, I APPRECIATE THE ENGAGEMENT FROM OUR RESIDENTS AND STAFF, STAFF WORKING WITH OUR RESIDENTS, TRYING TO CREATE THOSE RELATIONSHIPS AND THEN CREATING THIS STATEMENT. 
          UM, AND I ALSO WANNA MENTION HOW MUCH STAFF KEEPS REPORTING ON HOW THIS, THIS COLLABORATION REALLY HAPPENED. 
          UM, PUTTING UP THE POWERPOINTS THAT SHOW ALL OF THE DATES THAT WE GOT TOGETHER TO WORK ON THE REZONING AND THAT THEY'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. 
          I AGREE THAT A TON OF WORK HAS GONE INTO THIS, UM, PARTICULARLY WITH THE WORK AROUND THE BUFFER FOR AND THE LANDSCAPING AND ALL OF THAT. 
          UM, THAT AGENCY DID SOME REALLY GREAT WORK. 
          I A HUNDRED PERCENT AGREE WITH PRAISING THEM FOR WHAT THEY'VE DONE. 
          BUT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT TELLING, LOOKING AT THE RESIDENTS AND SAYING, THIS IS GREAT. 
          WE LOVE THIS COLLABORATION WHEN THE RESIDENTS THEMSELVES AREN'T REALLY FEELING LIKE THERE WAS A COLLABORATION. 
          UM, I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT DISCONNECT OUT TO YOU. 
          TO US, THE FIRST 12 MONTHS OF THIS WAS SPENT HEARING OUR COMMENTS AND CONCERNS WITHOUT REALLY LISTENING TO THEM OR APPLYING THEM. 
          IT WAS EVIDENT WHEN IN JANUARY, 2026, STAFF PRESENTED 
          [00:25:01]
PLANNING AND ZONING WITH THEIR FINDINGS OF THE KEY THEMES GATHERED FROM INDUSTRY REPRESENTATIVES AND PROPERTY OWNERS BASED ON THE LANGUAGE OF THE ID SIX ROADMAP. 
          THE KEY CONCERNS THEY SHARED DIDN'T CONTAIN ANY MENTION OF BIOHAZARDS SAFETY, CLEAN MANUFACTURING NOISE, INCREASED STAGE DANGER FROM THE EXPANDED ROADWAY AND TRUCKS AND TRAFFIC. 
          IT DIDN'T MENTION HOURS OF OPERATION. 
          IT DIDN'T MENTION LIGHTING CONCERNS, IT DIDN'T MENTION AIR QUALITY, QUALITY CONTROL, UM, WASTE, CONTAMINANT, AND DISPOSAL. 
          SO FOR 12 MONTHS AFTER ALL THESE CONVERSATIONS AND YOU CAME UP WITH THE KEY TERMS AND NONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE HEARD US SAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN, WERE LISTED BY STAFF IN THE LIST OF KEY CONCERNS. 
          WE FEEL LIKE YOU SPENT 12 MONTHS NOT HEARING US, NOT LIKE YOU SPENT 12 MONTHS COLLABORATING WITH US. 
          UM, UH, YOU KNOW, THE LANGUAGE GOT UPDATED EVENTUALLY, BUT IT FEELS LIKE WE HAD TO FORCE THIS LANGUAGE DOWN EVERYBODY'S THROAT TO, TO GET YOU TO FINALLY PUT IT IN. 
          AND THE LAST THREE THINGS THAT GOT ADDED, WHICH WERE, UM, BIOHAZARDS AND WASTE DISPOSAL, QUALITY CONTROL, THESE THINGS, THEY WERE DONE AT A PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING IN 10 MINUTES. 
          SO PLANNING AND ZONING TOOK A RECESS IN 10 MINUTES. 
          THEY WROTE THREE SENTENCES, THEY PUT 'EM IN AND THEY COVERED IT. 
          BUT FOR 12 MONTHS, YOU COULDN'T PUT IT IN. 
          IF YOU CAN WRITE THESE THINGS THAT QUICKLY, I, I DON'T THINK YOU REALLY LISTENED TO THE RESIDENTS. 
          SO YOU KNOW, MS. CRAM, THEY DIDN'T EVEN PUT YOUR STATEMENT IN FROM LAST TIME REQUESTING NOISE ADMISSIONS BE ADDED TO THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN SECTION. 
          SO IT'S NOT JUST US, THEY DON'T ALWAYS LISTEN TO, BECAUSE THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT IN, EVEN THOUGH THEY NODDED AN AGREEMENT THAT THEY WERE GONNA PUT THAT IN FOR YOU. 
          SO INSTEAD OF, INSTEAD OF TELLING US IT'S GREAT, HOW ABOUT TELLING US YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE COLLABORATION DIDN'T REALLY HAPPEN THE WAY THAT IT SHOULD HAVE? AND GIVE US AN APOLOGY INSTEAD. 
          THANK YOU LINDSEY. 
          NEXT, SANDY MCINTOSH. 
          WELCOME. 
          PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          GOOD EVENING COUNSEL. 
          I'M SANDY MCINTOSH. 
          I LIVE AT 5 7 9 2 TRAF FOGGER LANE IN ENTRE. 
          UH, AT THE JUNE 8TH MEETING, THERE WAS A GREAT DEAL OF DISCUSSION ABOUT AND HEAVY RELIANCE ON THE INTENT LANGUAGE FOR ID SIX. 
          UM, AS MY MOM AND RANDY TRAVIS USED TO SAY, THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS, YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO THE CITIZENS THAT YOU SERVE AND REPRESENT TO ENSURE THAT THE DEVELOPERS ADHERE TO THAT INTENT LANGUAGE. 
          TO THAT END, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR MORE FROM YOU AND YOUR DISCUSSIONS TONIGHT ABOUT HOW THE CITY WILL DETERMINE A PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT PROJECT MINIMIZES WASTE, HAZARDOUS INPUTS, HAZARDOUS BYPRODUCTS, AND STORMWATER DISCHARGES, AND HOW THE CITY WILL DETERMINE WHETHER A PARTICULAR PROJECT IS USING CLEAN PRODUCTION PRINCIPLES, A TERM THAT IS NOT DEFINED ANYWHERE IN THE CODE. 
          AND HOW IS THAT DIFFERENT FROM CLEAN MANUFACTURING AND CLEAN MANUFACTURING AND ASSEMBLY, WHICH ARE STATED HALLMARKS OF OTHER DISTRICTS BESIDES ID SIX ALONG THESE SAME LINES, USES THAT GENERATE NOISE, ODOR, GLARE, AND DUST AT A LEVEL, UM, NORMALLY ABOVE PERCEPTIBLE, PERCEPTIBLE OF OTHER DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA AND FROM THE USUAL STREET TRAFFIC IS PERMITTED. 
          I'D LIKE TO HEAR MORE FROM YOU TONIGHT ABOUT WHAT STEPS THE CITY HAS TAKEN TO MEASURE THOSE THINGS SO THAT WE CAN COMPARE THEM TO DEVELOPMENT LATER TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CODE, LANGUAGE AND INTENT IS BEING ADHERED TO. 
          MEASURABLE INCREASES OF HAZARDOUS EMISSIONS TO NEIGHBORHOOD PROPERTY IS ALSO PROHIBITED. 
          PLEASE TELL US TONIGHT WHAT SPECIFIC HAZARDOUS EMISSIONS THE CITY INTENDS TO PROHIBIT AND WHAT STEPS THE CITY HAS TAKEN TO MEASURE THOSE THINGS. 
          SO AGAIN, WE CAN COMPARE THEM TO DEVELOPMENT LATER TO BE SURE YOUR CODE LANGUAGE IS BEING FOLLOWED. 
          LASTLY, I'D LIKE TO FOCUS MY COMMENTS ON THIS ISSUE ON THE DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL PROCESS. 
          IT'S TAKEN CITY STAFF AND PAID CONSULTANTS MONTHS AND MONTHS TO DRAFT THIS LANGUAGE. 
          THE CITY'S PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION STILL SENT IT BACK FOR FURTHER REVIEW. 
          AFTER HEARING IT, YOU THEN ASKED FOR ADDITIONAL REVISIONS LAST TIME. 
          THIS IS PROOF OF THE NOVELTY AND THE COMPLEXITY OF WHAT THE CITY IS TRYING TO DO. 
          FOR THAT REASON, ADVANCED MANUFACTURING, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION AND CONTRACT SERVICES SHOULD BE CONDITIONAL AS OPPOSED TO PERMITTED USES. 
          THIS WILL GIVE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION WITH THE BENEFIT OF PUBLIC COMMENT, AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENSURE THAT DISTRICT INTENT AND CODE LANGUAGE IS BEING IMPLEMENTED WITH FIDELITY. 
          THE CITY HAS STATED MORE THAN ONCE THAT IT WANTS TO CAST A WIDE NET IN TERMS OF WHAT INDUSTRY IT MIGHT ATTRACT IN THE WI AND SPECIFICALLY ID SIX. 
          AREN'T YOU 
          [00:30:01]
THE LEAST BIT CONCERNED THAT YOU MIGHT CATCH SOMETHING UNDESIRABLE IN THAT WIDE NET? ADDING THIS LAYER OF REVIEW IS A MINOR INCONVENIENCE FOR DEVELOPERS, BUT SERVES AS AN ADDITIONAL PROTECTION FOR RESIDENTS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, LINDSAY. 
          NEXT, AMY SWANK. 
          WELCOME. 
          PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. 
          MY NAME IS AMY SWANK. 
          I LIVE AT 59 45 VAND LER PLACE. 
          I HAVE WRITTEN MANY, MANY COMMENTS TO YOU ALL REGARDING MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE CODE, BUT MY REQUEST EVERY TIME HAS SIMPLY BEEN TO KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE. 
          THAT'S IT. 
          TONIGHT, I WANNA RENEW THAT REQUEST AND ASK YOU TO DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN WITHIN YOUR POWER TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER YOU PUT NEXT TO OUR HOMES AND YOU PUT NEXT TO DARI FIELDS KEEPS OUR KIDS SAFE. 
          THE CODE, AS IT IS PROPOSED TONIGHT DOES NOT DO THAT. 
          IF YOU WANNA PROTECT OUR CHILDREN, I WOULD SUGGEST FOUR CHANGES. 
          ONE, MAKE ADVANCED MANUFACTURING RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND WAREHOUSING AND DISTRIBUTION CONDITIONAL INSTEAD OF PERMITTED USES. 
          DO THAT OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE, YOU CAN DELETE THEM ENTIRELY. 
          TWO, PROHIBIT ANY ACTIVITY THAT WOULD RELEASE NITROGEN, OXIDES, OTHER PARTICULATE MATTER, OR ANY OTHER HARMFUL EMISSION. 
          OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE, ESTABLISH CLEAR PARAMETERS AROUND TESTING AND MONITORING. 
          THREE, PROHIBIT TOXIC OR HAZARDOUS RAW INPUTS, BYPRODUCTS, OR FINISHED GOODS. 
          OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE, ESTABLISH CLEAR LIMITS THAT ACTUALLY PROTECT RESIDENTS. 
          FINALLY, DEFINE A SPECIFIC STANDARD AT WHICH DISTRIBUTION IS AN ACCESSORY USE. 
          THAT IS FOR VERY, VERY REASONABLE REQUESTS THAT PROTECT OUR CHILDREN. 
          DON'T THEY DESERVE IT? PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE 979 HOMES IN THE BALANCE TRADE COMMUNITY. 
          THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES THAT ARE NOT PART OF OUR HOA, INCLUDING WOODLANDS LINKS, KRAMER'S CROSSING, AND KENDALL RIDGE. 
          ONLY 1,119 SIGNATURES ARE REQUIRED TO PUT AN INITIATIVE ON THE BALLOT TO THAT WOULD AMEND THE CITY CHARTER TO PROHIBIT INDUSTRIAL LAND USES WITHIN 2,500 FEET OF HOMES. 
          IS THAT WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE? DOES THE CITY WANNA RUN A VOTER CAMPAIGN JUSTIFYING INDUSTRIAL LAND USES NEXT TO HOMES? FURTHERMORE, ONLY 1,678 SIGNATURES ARE REQUIRED BEFORE THE MAYOR AND REPRESENTATIVES. 
          A LUDO AND KEELER WOULD BE REQUIRED TO GO BEFORE CITY VOTERS KNOWING THAT YOU DIDN'T DO EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO PROTECT MY KIDS. 
          IF REPRESENTATIVES CRAM LAMB OR OSA ARE CURIOUS ABOUT THEIR NUMBERS, I'M HAPPY TO LOOK THEM UP, BUT IT IS MUCH LESS. 
          PLEASE PROTECT OUR CHILDREN. 
          THANK YOU, LINDSEY. 
          NEXT, VICTORIA MCDONALD. 
          VICTORIA MCDONALD, WELCOME. 
          PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          GOOD, GOOD EVENING. 
          MY NAME IS VICTORIA MCDONALD. 
          I LIVE AT 5 6 4 2 TY CASTLE LOOP. 
          AS A DUBLIN RESIDENT INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS FOR MORE THAN A YEAR, IT HAS BECOME CLEAR THAT OUR COMMUNITY'S EXPECTATIONS FOR THOUGHTFUL PLANNING, RESPECT FOR ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOODS AND PROTECTION OF QUALITY OF LIFE HAVE NOT BEEN FULLY CONSIDERED. 
          YES, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CONVERSATION. 
          YES, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF ENGAGEMENT, YET WE ALSO KNOW THE RAPID GROWTH THAT IS AFFECTING RESIDENTS ACROSS MANY NEIGHBORHOODS ARE HAVING A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON OUR QUALITY OF LIFE. 
          SITTING IN A LOT OF MEETINGS OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF, I'VE HEARD A LOT OF PEOPLE SPEAK REGARDING THEIR DISPLEASURE AT THE INTENSITY, DENSITY, AND SCALE OF THE ONGOING AND PROPOSITION OF FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. 
          AN EMERGING THEME SEEMS TO BE STEMMING AND IT SUGGESTS A PRIORITY OF PROFIT OVER PEOPLE. 
          MY POSITION REMAINS UNCHANGED. 
          INDUSTRIAL ZONING IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH RESIDENTIAL AND RECREATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED THE RISK FAR OUTWEIGH ANY FINANCIAL BENEFIT. 
          DUBLIN GENERATED OVER $118 MILLION IN INCOME TAX REVENUE IN 2025, SURPASSING THE $100 MILLION FOR FIVE CONSECUTIVE YEARS. 
          THIS IS A HEALTHY AMOUNT OF MONEY AND DEMONSTRATES THE SUCCESS OF OUR CITY AND ATTRACTING RESIDENTS AND OTHER DRIVERS OF ECONOMIC PROS. 
          PROFIT, AND ALL OF THIS WAS DONE WITHOUT INDUSTRIAL ZONING. 
          THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS, RESIDENTS HAVE ASKED FOR CLEAR AND ENFORCEABLE CODE LANGUAGE WITH DEFINED INTENT AND MEASURABLE 
          [00:35:01]
CRITERIA. 
          INSTEAD, THE RESPONSE HAS HEAVILY HEAVILY FOCUSED ON THE VISUAL LANDSCAPE. 
          AN EXTENSIVE DISCUSSION HAS BEEN HELD REGARDING MOUNTING AND BUFFERING AS IF THESE MINOR DETAIL DETAILS CAN RESOLVE MAJOR AND COMPATIBILITIES. 
          THIS PIVOT FROM DISCUSSING IMPORTANT ISSUES REFLECTS THE LAW OF TRIVIALITY. 
          A PSYCHOLOGICAL CONCEPT ON COGNITIVE BIAS WHERE PEOPLE SPEND DISPROPORTIONATE TIME ON EASY, COMFORTABLE TOPICS WHILE AVOIDING THE SUBSTANTIVE ONES. 
          THIS OFTEN SHOWS UP IN THE CORPORATE WORLD OR CONSULTING SPACES WHEN ADDRESSING COMPLEX ISSUES. 
          IN OUR CASE, WE ARE ASKING FOR MORE DETAILED LANGUAGE AND DEFINITIONS. 
          INSTEAD, WE'RE GETTING RESPONSE FROM THE CITY AND OTHERS WITH A FOCUS ON THE OPACITY OF TREES, MOUNDING, DESIGN AND BUFFERING. 
          WHY DO PEOPLE FALL INTO THIS PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR? IT'S EASY. 
          THOSE ARE COMFORTABLE TOPICS. 
          IT GIVES PEOPLE A SENSE OF COMPETENCY IF IT'S NOT AN AREA OF THEIR EXPERTISE. 
          I ALSO WOULD JUST LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE COUNCIL MEMBER WENDY JOHNSON AND SAY THANK YOU FOR ENGAGING IN CONCRETE QUESTIONS. 
          AT THE LAST MEETING, THESE QUESTIONS ADDRESS THE REAL CONCERNS AND ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT THE FOCUS BACK TO INCLUDING QUANTITATIVE STANDARDS IN THE CODE TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF FAMILIES, OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, AND OUR COMMUNITY. 
          PLEASE MAKE THAT YOUR TOP PRIORITY TONIGHT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND Z NEXT. 
          I BELIEVE THAT'S IT FOR THIS TOPIC. 
          VERY GOOD. 
          IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT DID NOT HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO SIGN IN THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? IF SO, PLEASE, UH, RAISE YOUR HAND AND STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          GOOD EVENING. 
          UH, TIM MYERS, FIRM 58 45. 
          GLEN DAVIDON. 
          THANK YOU FOR THE TIME TONIGHT. 
          UM, I, I CAN RECOGNIZE SOME PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE WITH THE CODE LANGUAGE, BUT I THINK WHAT YOU'RE HEARING FROM RESIDENTS IS WE STILL DON'T FEEL SAFE. 
          UM, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT COMING IN IS HELPFUL, BUT THAT'S AN ANNUAL REVIEW. 
          WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE ITERATIVE PROCESSES OF INNOVATIVE MANUFACTURING THAT DON'T GET RECORDED, THAT DON'T GET CHECKED, THAT DON'T GET CONFIRMED? I THINK THAT'S THE CONCERN THAT WE HAVE. 
          AND WE'RE REALLY STRUGGLING TO UNDERSTAND THE COMPLIANCE MECHANISM FOR THE APPLICATION OF HAZARDOUS RAW MATERIALS AND INPUTS. 
          AND SO, HAVING SAID THAT, WE'VE ALSO SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT THE ENVISION DUBLIN PLAN, BUT WE HAVEN'T SPENT ANY TIME TALKING ABOUT THE SUSTAINABILITY PLAN. 
          AND I GRABBED A FEW QUOTES FROM THE PLAN EARLIER TODAY. 
          THERE IS A COMMITMENT TO BEING THE MOST SUSTAINABLE GLOBAL CITY OF CHOICE. 
          THERE WAS A FRAMEWORK FOR ACTION, INCLUSIVE AND EQUITABLE. 
          MEGAN WROTE EXEMPLARY ECONOMIC, FISCAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP. 
          THE FRAMEWORK GOALS UNDER ECONOMICS CREATE AN E ECOSYSTEM THAT ENCOURAGES AND SUPPORTS GROWTH OF ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY BUSINESSES, BUILDINGS, AND TECHNOLOGY. 
          AND SO IT'S HARD TO SEE WHAT'S BEEN WRITTEN IN THE SUSTAINABILITY PLAN AND THE ACTIONS THAT YOU'LL MOST LIKELY TAKE TONIGHT, WHICH IS THE VOTE YES ON ID SIX IS STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          I'M SURE YOU GUYS ARE SICK AND TIRED OF SEEING US. 
          YOU'LL BE HAPPY TO PUT A FORK IN US AND BE DONE WITH US. 
          BUT LEADERSHIP COMES FROM BEING ABLE TO TAKE ACTION ON WHAT YOU WROTE AND I'M HOPING YOU GUYS CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT THE RESIDENTS FEEL LIKE WHEN WE DON'T FEEL SAFE WITH WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DECIDE TONIGHT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, LINDSAY. 
          NEXT. 
          GREAT. 
          PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          HI, MY NAME IS KELLY WEBER AND I LIVE AT 6 5 9 6 BALL ANDRE PLACE. 
          I KNOW THAT MANY OF YOU HAVE ALREADY HEARD A LOT ABOUT THE PROPOSED REZONING ALONG COS GRAY ROAD. 
          I ALSO KNOW DECISIONS LIKE THIS INVOLVE REVENUE GROWTH AND PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE. 
          BUT TONIGHT I'M ASKING YOU TO ALSO THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO ALREADY CALL THIS AREA HOME. 
          I HAVE LIVED IN BALL ANDRE FOR ALMOST 25 YEARS AND WE WERE THE VERY FIRST HOME BUILT AFTER THE PARADE OF HOMES. 
          I GRADUATED FROM DUBLIN HIGH SCHOOL AND FOR YEARS DREAMED OF ACTUALLY LIVING IN DUBLIN, NOT JUST GOING TO SCHOOL HERE. 
          I WAS SO PROUD WHEN I GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY A HOUSE AND RAISE MY FAMILY IN THE CITY. 
          DUBLIN HAS ALWAYS FELT SPECIAL TO ME. 
          IT IS BEAUTIFUL, SAFE, THOUGHTFUL, AND DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER SUBURBS IN COLUMBUS. 
          WHEN ALL OF MY FRIENDS VISIT, THEY OFTEN SAY, WHY DIDN'T WE CHOOSE DUBLIN EVERY TIME THEY DRIVE IN? AND I ALWAYS KNEW WHY. 
          BECAUSE DUBLIN PROTECTS WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL. 
          THIS IS WHY THIS REZONING IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND. 
          I NEVER IMAGINED THAT NEAR A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE CHILDREN RIDE BIKES, FAMILIES WALK, GRANDPARENTS ENJOY THE PATHS PEOPLE GATHER IN A GOLF COURSE COMMUNITY, WE WOULD BE FACING THE POSSIBILITY OF INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT 
          [00:40:01]
AND LARGE SEMI-TRUCK TRAFFIC. 
          THIS IS NOT JUST LAND ON A MAP. 
          THIS IS OUR HOME. 
          THESE ARE THE STREETS WHERE OUR KIDS GREW UP. 
          THESE ARE THE PATHS WHERE FAMILIES WALK AFTER DINNER. 
          THIS IS THE COMMUNITY MANY OF US CHOSE CAREFULLY, SAVED FOR, INVESTED IN, AND HAVE BELIEVED IN. 
          I UNDERSTAND THE CITY NEEDS TO GROW. 
          I UNDERSTAND THAT REVENUE MATTERS, BUT I HOPE THERE IS A BETTER MIDDLE GROUND. 
          ONE THAT SUPPORTS DUBLIN'S FUTURE WITHOUT SACRIFICING THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE FAMILIES AND THE PEOPLE THAT HELP MAKE DUBLIN WHAT IT IS. 
          TONIGHT, I AM ASKING YOU TO PLEASE LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE. 
          PLEASE PROTECT THE CHARACTER, SAFETY AND BEAUTY OF THIS COMMUNITY. 
          PLEASE VOTE NO ON REZONING THESE PARCELS FROM RURAL TO INDUSTRIAL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANYONE ELSE? UH, LIKE TO, TO CHIME IN IN THIS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ID SIX PORTION OF OUR MEETING? ANYONE? OKAY. 
          HEARING NONE. 
          UM, I WILL BEGIN WITH COUNCIL QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION. 
          AND I WILL START HERE TO ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS. 
          UH, PUBLIC COMMENTS ARE SUBMITTED AND THEY'RE PROVIDED TO COUNSEL, UH, PRIOR TO TONIGHT'S MEETING. 
          THEY'RE INCLUDED IN OUR PACKET. 
          AND SO WE HAVE, UH, THOSE AS PART OF OUR PACKET AND HAVE READ THEM. 
          NO, BUT THEY'RE A PART OF THE PUBLIC DOCUMENT. 
          WELL, VERY GOOD STEP FORWARD IF YOU WOULD PLEASE. 
          MY NAME'S MATT . 
          I'M AT 5 7 3 3 FALLS LAKE. 
          I WANNA TALK ABOUT OUR NEIGHBORS. 
          YOU'RE WELCOME. 
          I WANNA TALK ABOUT OUR NEIGHBORS. 
          MARYSVILLE MARYSVILLE HAS AN INDUSTRIAL PARK. 
          IT'S BUILT ON THE SOUTHEAST SIDE OF TOWN. 
          IT DIDN'T TAKE MARYSVILLE ONE YEAR TO COME UP WITH IT. 
          IT TOOK THEM YEARS PLURAL. 
          AND IT'S BECAUSE THEY TRIED TO DO THINGS RIGHT. 
          AND WHAT THEY DID RIGHT WAS THEY BUILT THEIR INDUSTRIAL PARK FOUR MILES FROM MILL VALLEY, WHICH IS A MAJOR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          IT'S THREE MILES FROM SCOTT'S FARM. 
          IT'S THREE MILES FROM WALKER WOODS AND IT'S ALSO THREE MILES FROM GREEN PASTURES. 
          THOSE ARE THE FOUR MAIN NEIGHBORHOODS IN MARYSVILLE. 
          WE HAVE MORE MAIN NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND DUBLIN. 
          BUT I THINK BALL ANDRE'S ONE OF THE MAJOR ONES. 
          MARYSVILLE WAS VERY INTENTIONAL WITH WHERE THEY PUT THAT INDUSTRIAL PARK BECAUSE IF YOU ASK, WELL, WHAT'S ACROSS THE STREET FROM IT? IT'S FARMLAND AND NOTHING MORE. 
          IT'S NOT A NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          EVEN WITH YEARS OF PLANNING, MARYSVILLE DIDN'T QUITE GET IT RIGHT BECAUSE WITH BUSINESS BECOMES TAX ABATEMENTS WHEN A BUSINESS MOVES IN AND IT'S A BIG BUSINESS, THEY'D LIKE NOT TO PAY TAXES FOR 10 OR 15 OR 20 YEARS OR GET SOME SORT OF BREAK. 
          ALSO, IF YOU HAVE BUSINESS COME IN, MORE EMPLOYEES, YOU NEED HOUSING FOR IT. 
          APARTMENTS, THE MORE APARTMENTS COME IN, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S CREATING MORE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. 
          I GET IT. 
          BUT SOMEONE'S GONNA GET THE SHAFT IN THAT. 
          AND IN MARYSVILLE, THE PLACE THAT GOT THE SHAFT WAS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. 
          BECAUSE A FORMER CITY COUNCIL PERSON ONCE QUOTED EACH ROOF COSTS US MONEY. 
          OH YES, IT CERTAINLY DOES BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE AN APARTMENT ROOF THAT HOUSES 80 FAMILIES, EVEN THOUGH THAT OWNER OF THE APARTMENT PAYS AT A COMMERCIAL TAX RATE, YOU DON'T HAVE 80 HOMES. 
          AND IF THOSE 80 FAMILIES WITHIN THAT APARTMENT HAS MAYBE 20 KIDS THAT GO TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS YOU'RE GETTING 20 MORE KIDS IN THAT SCHOOL DISTRICT, WHICH REQUIRE A LOT MORE MONEY. 
          BUT YOU'RE GETTING A LITTLE BIT OF THE TAX MONEY FROM ONE APARTMENT ROOF, EVEN THOUGH IT'S COMMERCIAL THAN YOU WOULD'VE GOTTEN FROM THE 80 HOMES. 
          SO WHAT DID THAT DO TO MARYSVILLE? PUT 'EM IN A CRUNCH. 
          THEY TRIED TO PASS A LEVEE FAILED. 
          THEY TRIED A SECOND TIME FAILED. 
          WHAT WAS THE RESULT? FOR EVERY EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY YOU WANTED YOUR KID TO BE IN, YOU PAID BETWEEN 400 AND $700 PER STUDENT PER EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY. 
          YOU GOT A KID WHO WANTS TO PLAY SOCCER IN ONE SEASON AND BASEBALL IN THE NEXT SAY HELLO TO 800 TO 1400 BUCKS. 
          NO MORE SCHOOL BUSING FOR THE EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES. 
          THEY CUT 30 JOBS, THANK GOD THEY WERE ABLE TO PASS THE THIRD TIME THROUGH. 
          SO THERE ARE OTHER UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF THIS. 
          AND WHAT THEY'VE TOLD ME IN MARYSVILLE IS WE SCREWED THE POOCH BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GIVE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT A SEAT AT THE TABLE. 
          AND WE DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING BECAUSE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THERE SAID, 
          [00:45:01]
I UNDERSTAND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THERE SAID, IF YOU WANT A GOOD COMMUNITY, YOU NEED TWO GOOD THINGS, A GOOD POLICE DEPARTMENT AND A GOOD SCHOOL DISTRICT. 
          IF YOU LOSE ONE OF THOSE TWO OR BOTH OF THEM, YOUR COMMUNITY GOES DOWNHILL REAL FAST. 
          AND WE ARE STILL MENDING THOSE RELATIONSHIPS IN MARYSVILLE. 
          I'M TELLING YOU THAT NOW. 
          IT'S ALREADY HAPPENED THERE. 
          I SEE IT HAPPENING HERE. 
          ANYONE ELSE ON THIS AGENDA? TOPIC? OKAY. 
          HEARING NONE. 
          UM, WE'LL, WE'LL BEGIN WITH COUNCIL QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION. 
          UM, I GUESS WE'LL JUST GO DOWN THE LINE HERE. 
          IF YOU WANNA START, WE'LL, WE'LL RUN THROUGH THE, MAKE SURE EVERYBODY HAS AN OPPORTUNITY. 
          SURE. 
          UM, THANK YOU. 
          UM, THANKS FOR COMING IN TONIGHT. 
          UM, I KNOW THAT WE SAY THAT EVERY TIME, BUT I I FOR ONE MINUTE. 
          UM, THERE WERE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS MADE AND, UM, I WILL SAY THAT I, I UNDERSTAND BOTH THE FRUSTRATION FOR CODE WRITING AND CODE REVISIONS TAKING A LONG TIME. 
          'CAUSE THERE'VE BEEN SOME COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT TAKING A LONG TIME AND THE COMPLAINTS THAT IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG ENOUGH. 
          UM, AND I WILL SAY I DON'T THINK IT'S EVER A PERFECT PROCESS. 
          UM, I DO THINK THERE'S COMPROMISE AND I ALWAYS WORRY THAT COMPROMISE BECOMES A DIRTY WORD. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, IN, IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. 
          UM, I THERE WERE JUST A COUPLE OF COMMENTS MADE THAT I THINK, UM, COULD BE ADDRESSED. 
          UM, I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THE WORK ON THE BUFFER. 
          I I THINK THAT MOST OF WHAT WE'RE HEARING AND, AND I'M USING GENERALITIES, NOT SAYING EVERYONE FEELS THIS WAY, UM, THAT THE WORK ON THE BUFFERS IS, IS, IS A GOOD THING. 
          UM, AND I DO APPRECIATE THE ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATION ON THE OPACITY. 
          UM, I THINK THERE WAS A COMMENT MADE ABOUT DETERMINING HOW THE CITY IS GOING TO ENSURE THAT, UM, A DEVELOPMENT THAT MAY COME BEFORE, UM, THE CITY REALLY, UH, ADHERES TO AND IS TRUE TO THE INTENT OF THE ID SIX DISTRICT RELATIVE TO THINGS LIKE, UM, MEASURING INCREASES TO HAZARDOUS OR OTHER EMISSIONS. 
          RIGHT? THERE WAS SORT OF A LIST THAT WAS LISTED OFF. 
          SO I WONDER, UM, IF YOU COULD JUST SPEAK A LITTLE BIT TO THAT, UM, TO, TO HELP AT LEAST, UM, HELP FOLKS UNDERSTAND HOW THAT, HOW THAT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK. 
          YEAH. 
          HAPPY TO DO THAT. 
          SO AS I MENTIONED, UM, THAT WAS RAISED AT THE LAST MEETING, YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE INTEND TO DO THIS? AND AGAIN, THIS IS NOT ATYPICAL TO HOW WE HANDLE ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT COMES FORWARD WITH THE CITY, RIGHT? WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS? SOMEONE WANTS TO BUILD A BUILDING OR OCCUPY A SPACE. 
          WE ARE LOOKING AT THE CODE AND ALL THE REQUIREMENTS. 
          SO AS WE'VE TALKED OVER TIME, RIGHT? IT'S NOT JUST THE INTENT OR JUST THE PERMITTED USES OR JUST THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. 
          ALL THOSE THINGS ARE TAKEN INTO TOTALITY. 
          AND WHEN THERE ARE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS HAVE TO BE MET, AGAIN, THE INTENT PIECE OF THAT AND, YOU KNOW, THE DEFINITION FOR PARTICULAR USES THAT WOULD THEN, YOU KNOW, ASK US OR REQUIRE US TO HAVE, UM, DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION LIKE ACOUSTICS OR ADDITIONAL LIGHTING. 
          OUR GOAL WOULD BE AS AN AS REQUIRED TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY MEET, THAT WE WOULD BE WORKING WITH A DEVELOPER TO SAY, HEY, YOU NEED TO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION FOR US TO EVALUATE. 
          AND WE WOULD LOOK AT THAT AGAINST THE INTENT, AGAINST ALL THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE HAD AGAINST THE DEFINITIONS, AGAINST THE REQUIREMENTS. 
          AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO SHOW THAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT MEASURABLE DIFFERENCES ARE THEY MAKING BETWEEN, UM, YOU KNOW, THE NOISE PIECE OF THAT OR EMISSIONS OR WHAT, WHAT IS BEING, YOU KNOW, PROVIDED AS PART OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT THAT WE WOULD THEN EVALUATE AND LOOK AT THAT. 
          SO AGAIN, WE'RE DOING THIS AGAIN, NOT TO THIS LEVEL BECAUSE THIS IS MORE SPECIFIC, UM, THAN WE'VE BEEN, UM, POTENTIALLY IN OTHER DISTRICTS. 
          BUT OUR GOAL IS TO ASK THEM AND THEY WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THAT FOR US TO REVIEW AND WE'RE GONNA USE OUR RESOURCES, RIGHT? IT'S NOT JUST PLANNING, AS I MENTIONED, THERE'S BUILDING STANDARDS, THERE'S THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. 
          WE ALSO TALKED LAST TIME TOO. 
          WE HAVE CONSULTANTS WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF EXPERTISE THAT WE WOULD CALL ON TO HELP WITH THAT ASSESSMENT AS WELL AS WE NEED. 
          BECAUSE THAT'S, WE'RE NOT THE EXPERT IN EVERY FIELD, RIGHT? AND WE WANNA MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE RIGHT, UM, BACKGROUND AND KNOWLEDGE TO HELP US ASSESS THOSE. 
          AND CAN YOU SPEAK A LITTLE BIT TO HOW THAT LOOKS? LET, WELL, THERE'S TWO PIECES HERE. 
          LET ME GO TO ONE FIRST. 
          UM, HOW THAT LOOKS FROM AN ONGOING, UM, INSPECTION PERSPECTIVE, BECAUSE I THINK, UM, AND TO BE FAIR, IT'S LIKE, YEAH, YOU COULD PUT SOMETHING IN, BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING BEHIND CLOSED DOORS? RIGHT? RIGHT. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S A FAIR QUESTION. 
          MM-HMM . 
          RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY. 
          AGAIN, AS WITH ANY USE IN THE CITY, RIGHT? THEY'RE PERMITTED UNDER A PERMIT AND GO THROUGH THAT REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS. 
          THEN AS I MENTIONED, THERE IS ONGOING INSPECTIONS 
          [00:50:01]
WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, WITH THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT AS NEEDED. 
          IF THERE'S A COMPLAINT OR A CONCERN, CODE ENFORCEMENT WOULD ALSO BE INVOLVED. 
          SO AGAIN, THERE'S SORT OF THOSE SCHEDULED INSPECTIONS AND TIMING THAT HAPPENS, UM, THROUGH THOSE OTHER DIVISIONS. 
          BUT THROUGH CODE CODE ENFORCEMENT, IF SOMEBODY WERE TO RAISE A CONCERN, I DON'T THINK THIS USER'S MEETING THESE REQUIREMENTS, WE WOULD GO BACK TO WHAT WERE THE INFORMATION THEY PROVIDED AND WE WOULD THEN GO BACK TO THEM AS THE USER AND SAY, HEY, ARE YOU STILL MEETING THESE? PLEASE DEMONSTRATE THAT THIS IS STILL HOW YOU'RE OPERATING YOUR SYSTEM. 
          AND IF THEY'RE NOT MEETING THAT REQUIREMENT, THEN WE WOULD FIGURE OUT IF, YOU KNOW, WHAT ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN, WHETHER THAT'S FURTHER ENFORCEMENT ACTION OR THEY NEED TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION, AND THAT WE DETERMINE THAT THAT'S NOT AN ISSUE. 
          AGAIN, THAT'S, THAT'S OUR STANDARD PROCESS, UM, THAT WE WOULD USE HERE AS WELL. 
          AND, UM, I KNOW THAT IT'S NOT NORMAL OR CUSTOMARY, I GUESS MAYBE IS A BETTER WORD TO USE FOR IF THERE IS A CODE ENFORCEMENT OR IF THERE'S A COMPLAINT, RIGHT? UM, AND, AND THE CITY MAY FOLLOW UP WITH THE INDIVIDUAL WHO COMPLAINED. 
          UM, AND I THINK IN THIS CASE WE'VE, WE'VE GOT, UM, A LARGE GROUP OF FOLKS THAT HAVE A VESTED INTEREST IN WHAT'S HAPPENING OVER THERE. 
          SO LET'S SAY A DEVELOPMENT GOES IN, EVERYTHING'S LOOKING GREAT, AND LITTLE DOWN THE LINE, IT'S LIKE, WELL, THERE, WE SUSPECT THERE'S SOMETHING HAPPENING THERE. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SO YOU GO AND YOU DO THIS INSPECTION. 
          LET'S SAY THERE'S A CODE VIOLATION OR WHAT HAVE YOU, HOW ARE THOSE THINGS THEN COMMUNICATED OUT TO THE COMMUNITY? OR HOW COULD WE PUT A PROCESS IN PLACE IF IT'S NOT SORT OF THE, THE, THE CUSTOMARY WAY OF DOING IT? HOW COULD WE PUT A PROCESS IN PLACE SO THAT WE COULD COMMUNICATE OUT TO THE COMMUNITY TO LET THEM KNOW, HEY, WE'VE HAD A CONCERN ABOUT THIS AREA. 
          UM, IT'S IT'S CLOSE TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          WE WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE NOT ONLY HAVE LOOKED INTO IT, HERE'S WHAT WE FOUND IN HERE ARE THE ACTIONS THAT WE'RE TAKING MM-HMM . 
          AGAIN, TYPICALLY THAT A COMPLAINT IS BROUGHT FORWARD BY AN INDIVIDUAL. 
          AND WE WOULD THEN INVESTIGATE THAT AND COMMUNICATE THAT OUT. 
          WE COULD DEFINITELY TALK ABOUT IF THERE'S SOME ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATION THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE, WE CAN TALK THROUGH WHAT THAT IS. 
          THAT'S NOT A PROCESS WE TYPICALLY DO THAT WAY, BECAUSE AGAIN, OUR GOAL IS COMPLIANCE, RIGHT? SO IF THERE'S AN ISSUE, OUR GOAL IS TO ADDRESS THAT, IDENTIFY THAT, MAKE SURE IT IS AN, AN ACTUAL VIOLATION, RIGHT? THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT OUR PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT ARE MAYBE NOT A VIOLATION, RIGHT? SO THAT'S PART OF OUR PROCESS IS TO DETERMINE IS IT ACTUALLY A VIOLATION? AND THEN WHAT'S THE ACTION TO GAIN COMPLIANCE, RIGHT? SO IN THE END, THAT'S OUR ULTIMATE GOAL ALWAYS. 
          AND SOMETIMES THAT TAKES A LITTLE LONGER JUST BECAUSE IT'S BETTER IF THERE'S VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE AND HAVING TO GO THROUGH A WHOLE LEGAL PROCESS. 
          BUT WE WILL DO THAT WHEN NECESSARY. 
          YEAH, OF COURSE. 
          MM-HMM . 
          AND, AND I CERTAINLY KNOW IF SOMETHING GOES INTO, UM, YOU KNOW, LITIGATION REALM, THEN YOU KNOW, THAT ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATION NEEDS TO STOP. 
          YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT, RIGHT. 
          SOMETHING THAT'S IN, IN THE PROCESS OF LITIGATION. 
          I GET THAT. 
          MM-HMM . 
          UM, I, YOU KNOW, I JUST THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOW ACTIVE THE RESIDENTS IN THIS AREA HAVE BEEN AND PUTTING TOGETHER SOME ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS. 
          YOU KNOW, JUST GIVEN THE INTEREST LEVEL AND STUFF, I THINK WOULD BE REALLY IMPORTANT MOVING FORWARD. 
          UM, AND I DO THINK, AND, AND THIS IS NO REFLECTION ON STAFF, SO I HOPE YOU DON'T TAKE IT THAT WAY. 
          UM, I, I DO HAVE SOME QUESTION ABOUT THE, THE ROLE AND THE, THE BROADNESS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE RE REVIEW TEAM, UM, CAPABILITIES, RIGHT? SO ESSENTIALLY SOMETHING MEETS, YOU KNOW, ALL THE CRITERIA, A RT CAN JUST APPROVE IT. 
          UM, I, I STRUGGLE A LITTLE BIT WITH THAT, NOT BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT THAT A RT HAS GREAT CHOPS, RIGHT? SO TO SPEAK. 
          UM, BUT IT DOES GIVE ME A BIT OF PAUSE WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME OF WHAT, YOU KNOW, COULD COME ACROSS THE PLATE, RIGHT? MAY APPEAR ON ONE HAND TO MEET THE INTENTIONS, UM, BUT THEN MAYBE IT DOESN'T. 
          I DEFINITELY HAVE SOME CONCERNS THERE THAT THAT PART IS A STRUGGLE FOR ME. 
          UM, SO, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SPEAK TO THAT OR NOT, OR IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, AT ANOTHER TIME, BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT DOES CONCERN ME. 
          UM, SO I DUNNO IF YOU WANNA SPEAK TO THAT NOW OR IF YOU WANNA TAKE A PASS, THAT'S OKAY TOO. 
          YEAH, NO, AGAIN, I'M HAPPY TO EXPLAIN THAT. 
          I MEAN, THAT'S, THAT'S PART OF OUR PROCESS RIGHT NOW. 
          AS I MENTIONED, IF WE NEED CONSULTANT SUPPORT, WE'VE DEFINITELY DONE THAT WITH A RB WITH PLANNING COMMISSION CASES, RIGHT? SO THE STAFF REVIEW IS HAPPENING TO LOOK AT AND IDENTIFY WHAT ARE THE CODE REQUIREMENTS, HOW IS A PARTICULAR APPLICATION MEETING THOSE REQUIREMENTS. 
          AND AGAIN, A RT IS MADE UP OF, YOU KNOW, REPRESENTATIVES FROM ALL THE DIFFERENT DIVISIONS, INCLUDING BUILDING AND FIRE, RIGHT? SO THEY ALSO HAVE A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF EXPERTISE AND UNDERSTANDING, PARTICULARLY AS IT COMES TO, UM, YOU KNOW, MATERIAL STORAGE AND THINGS LIKE, AND YOU KNOW, WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN FOR A PARTICULAR SITE AND BUILDING TO BE DEVELOPED AND MAINTAIN THAT SAFETY ASPECT. 
          SO THEY WOULD BE PART OF THAT CONVERSATION. 
          AND AS WE'VE SHARED ALSO, IF THERE IS AN APPLICATION THAT COMES TO FOUR A RT THAT THEY FEEL HAS A GREATER COMMUNITY IMPACT OR CONCERN THAT CAN BE KICKED UP TO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. 
          SO WE'VE NOT HAD TO DO THAT BEFORE, EVEN WITH THESE MAJOR PROJECTS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RIGHT, THE REALLY SMALL SITE DEVELOPMENT DETAILS THAT HAD TO BE REVIEWED BY THEM, BUT IF A RT 
          [00:55:01]
FELT UNCOMFORTABLE OR DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THEY HAD ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE, OR THERE NEEDED TO BE THAT FURTHER PUBLIC REVIEW THAT IS ALREADY IN THE CODE THAT EXISTS TODAY THAT, THAT WE CALL IT THE KICKUP PROVISION, RIGHT? WE CAN KICK THAT UP AS AN A RT GROUP OF WE DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THIS. 
          SO WE ARE, WE THINK THIS NEEDS ADDITIONAL PUBLIC SCRUTINY FROM THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S POSSIBLE AND THAT'S REMAINS IN THE DRAFT AS IT'S PROPOSED. 
          SO THANKS. 
          UM, I, I, I'LL RESERVE MY RIGHT TO, TO, UH, LISTEN TO EVERYONE ELSE AND THEN MAYBE BRING A COUPLE OF THINGS BACK UP. 
          SO, BUT THANK YOU, WENDY. 
          UM, I APPRECIATE THE EXTENSIVE WORK THAT'S GONE INTO THIS. 
          UM, I THINK WE ALL HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE ARE, WE ARE IN A BETTER PLACE THAN WE WERE A YEAR AGO. 
          UM, MAYBE I SHOULDN'T SPEAK FOR EVERYONE, BUT I CAN SAY THAT I'M IN A BETTER PLACE THAN WE WERE A YEAR AGO. 
          UM, IT'S BEEN A JOURNEY. 
          IT'S BEEN A, UH, A KNOWLEDGE SEEKING JOURNEY OF COURSE. 
          AND, UH, AND I APPRECIATE THE HOURS THAT BOTH THE RESIDENTS AND STAFF AND, AND EVEN COUNSEL THAT WE'VE PUT IN ON THIS. 
          UM, I THINK WE CONTINUE TO HEAR FROM THE RESIDENTS WHO WILL BE HIGHLY IMPACTED BY ANY DEVELOPMENT IN THE WI THAT THE CODE, WHILE BETTER SIMPLY DOES NOT HAVE CLEAR ENFORCEABLE PROTECTIONS AROUND SOME OF THE MORE POTENTIALLY, UM, IMPACTFUL USES LIKE ADVANCED MANUFACTURING. 
          UM, I, I LIKE HEARING WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME, JENNY, AND, AND GETTING TO KNOW THE TEAM. 
          I, I DO BELIEVE THAT ALL OF YOU WANT TO PUT FORTH THE BEST DEVELOPMENT POSSIBLE, UM, FOR THE CITY. 
          I JUST WORRY BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T DONE THIS BEFORE, BECAUSE THIS IS NEW, BECAUSE ADVANCED MANUFACTURING IS NEW BECAUSE WE'RE CASTING THAT WIDE NET. 
          WHAT ARE WE MISSING? AND IF IT'S A PERMITTED USE AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE MISSING, THEN HOW DO WE, HOW DO WE DISCOVER THAT, YOU KNOW, IN THE, IN THE PROCESS, WHERE'S THE DISCOVERY PROCESS GOING TO BE TO MAKE SURE THAT SOMETHING THAT WE GREEN LIGHT IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS DOESN'T BECOME A PROBLEM IN THE NEXT 10 OR 15 YEARS? AND I'M NOT EVEN SURE THAT WE CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION. 
          UM, I'VE HEARD FROM NUMEROUS PEOPLE AND, AND HAVE SOME AGREEMENT WITH THAT. 
          SOME OF THESE USES, MAYBE WE SHOULD CONSIDER THEM TO BE CONDITIONAL, UM, AS WE GET STARTED, MAYBE AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND WE GAIN IN KNOWLEDGE AS A COUNCIL AND AS A STAFF, MAYBE WE CAN MOVE BACK TO, UH, PERMITTED USE AND WE DON'T HAVE TO RUN EVERYTHING BY PLANNING AND ZONING. 
          BUT, UH, AS IT STANDS TODAY, I JUST THINK THAT THERE ARE IMPORTANT GUIDELINES THAT CONTINUE TO RELY ON BROAD LANGUAGE AND INTERPRETATION OF CURRENT STAFF AND CURRENT COUNCIL. 
          AND I'M TRYING TO LOOK BEYOND THAT. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE ALL SUPPORT RESPONSIBLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. 
          I, I THINK THE FOLKS HERE WOULD SAY THAT THEY SUPPORT RESPONSIBLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, BUT WE HAVE GOT TO GET THIS RIGHT. 
          UM, BECAUSE THIS DECISION THAT WE'RE ABOUT TO MAKE TONIGHT IS GOING TO SHAPE THAT AREA FOR DECADES TO COME AND, AND QUITE FRANKLY, THE REST OF THE CITY. 
          SO I STILL, AGAIN, I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT BEING ABLE TO MEASURE AND ENFORCE, WE CAN'T PUT THE CODE, WE CAN'T PUT THE LANGUAGE IN THE CODE TODAY BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. 
          BUT WHERE'S THE SOLUTION TO BEING ABLE TO PUT THAT? IS IT, DO WE BRING BASELINE MEASUREMENT AND ENFORCEMENT GUIDELINES INTO EACH DEVELOPMENT? I MEAN, HOW DO WE ADDRESS IT? HOW DO WE FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS THAT ALLOWS US TO MOVE FORWARD WITH DEVELOPMENT? AND AT THE SAME TIME DOES PUT PROTECTIONS IN PLACE FOR THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE FOR THE USERS OF DARI FIELDS, FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WILL SOMEDAY ENJOY WHAT WILL BE A BEAUTIFUL, UM, PARK PREMIER, ATHLETIC AND RECREATION CAMPUS. 
          I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE GET IT RIGHT AND WE SOMEHOW GET THAT CLEAR, MEASURABLE, ENFORCEABLE LANGUAGE, WHETHER IT'S IN THE CODE OR IN IT'S IN A DEVELOPMENT BY DEVELOPMENT, UH, PROCESS. 
          I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT ANSWER IS. 
          I, UM, BUT I, I WOULD LIKE US TO TO THINK ABOUT THAT. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN ADDRESS ANY OF THAT TONIGHT, BUT THOSE ARE WHAT MY THOUGHTS CONTINUE TO BE ABOUT, UM, THOSE CLEAR, MEASURABLE, ENFORCEABLE STANDARDS IN THE CODE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          [01:00:03]
SO HAPPY TO ADDRESS A COUPLE OF THOSE THINGS. 
          SO AGAIN, AS I THINK WE'VE MENTIONED BEFORE, THE ADVANCE WHEN YOU WHEN WE LOOKED AT ID TWO, RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT THE BASE ZONING WAS THAT WE STARTED WITH HERE. 
          AND HOW DO WE REFINE THAT AND DEFINE THAT MORE CLEARLY TO, TO GET, TO ADDRESS, UM, THE CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED BY THE NEIGHBORS, UM, THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS AND, AND HEAR WHAT YOU'RE ALL SAYING. 
          UM, MANUFACTURING AND ASSEMBLY IS A PERMITTED USE IN ID TWO. 
          SO THE CREATION OF THAT ADVANCE MANUFACTURING IS REALLY THAT OUR INTENTION. 
          AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE INTENT AND THE, AND THE DEFINITION OF THAT IS REALLY THE NARROWING OF WHAT, YOU KNOW, HOW THINGS ARE MANUFACTURED, WHAT'S BEING MANUFACTURED INPUTS, WHAT TYPES OF USES. 
          SO OUR GOAL HAS BEEN, AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT, HOPEFULLY THAT'S REFLECTED BACK THAT WE REALLY HAVE TRIED TO HONE IN ON THAT. 
          UM, AND WE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION AT PLANNING COMMISSION ABOUT NUMERICAL STANDARDS. 
          AND AGAIN, WE COULD PICK A NUMBER FOR A PARTICULAR TOPIC, RIGHT? AND THEN LET'S SAY IT'S 50, WELL, 49.9, THAT'S OKAY. 
          LIKE, SO I THINK, AND IT'S DEPENDING ON THE USER, LIKE YOU'RE SAYING, THERE'S LOTS OF USES THAT ARE GONNA COME FORWARD HERE. 
          AND WE, WE MAY HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THAT IN OUR TECH FLEX DISTRICT, UM, OR ID TWO OR THREE. 
          I MEAN, WE DO HAVE THESE USERS ELSEWHERE IN THE CITY, SO THIS IS NOT A NEW THING TO THE CITY. 
          UM, WE DO HAVE USERS THROUGHOUT THE CITY THAT, THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, LOOK AT THESE USES AND, AND, UM, AND MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS ELSEWHERE, UH, WHETHER THAT'S IN WIT OR SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE CITY. 
          SO WE'RE NOT BREAKING COMPLETELY NEW GROUND HERE, RIGHT? WE ALREADY HAVE THESE USERS AND SOMETIMES YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY'RE THERE, WHICH IS, TO ME, THAT'S THE WHOLE GOAL, RIGHT? THAT THERE'S GONNA BE A DEVELOPMENT HERE THAT'S QUALITY, LOOKS NICE, MEETS ALL THE STANDARDS AND USES, AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT IT'S THERE, RIGHT? THE, THE GOAL IS FOR THAT TO BE NOT IMPACTFUL AT ALL. 
          SO AGAIN, I'M NOT SURE THAT GETS EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT, BUT THAT IS TOP OF MIND FOR US IN TERMS OF HOW WE OPERATE AND WILL ENFORCE THE CODE, BUT ALSO WITHIN THE REGULATIONS AS WE'VE DRAFTED THEM. 
          SO, THANKS. 
          I WILL START BY PIGGYBACKING OFF OF A COUPLE THINGS, UM, THAT YOU JUST SAID. 
          AS FAR AS, AGAIN, WE DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING THAT'S GONNA GO HERE. 
          UM, JENNY POINTED OUT THE HIGHER CATEGORY USES DO EXIST IN OUR CITY. 
          UM, WE DO HAVE ID TWO ALREADY. 
          UM, SO WE DO KNOW, WE KNOW SOME, WE'RE TRYING TO NARROW THAT FOR THIS AREA. 
          UM, I THINK WE'VE DONE A GOOD JOB NARROWING IT. 
          UM, WE'VE REMOVED SOME USES, WE'VE ADDED DEFINITIONS, UM, BUT IT'S GONNA BE IMPOSSIBLE. 
          AGAIN, LIKE I SAID LAST TIME, TO DEFINE EVERYTHING. 
          AND I THINK THOSE BASELINE STANDARDS ARE BEST GONNA BE COVERED WHEN EACH DEVELOPMENT COMES IN. 
          UM, JUST LIKE NOW ANYWHERE WE, THEY DO A TRAFFIC STUDY, THEY FIND THE BASELINE STANDARD THERE, AND THEN THEY'RE HELD TO STANDARDS. 
          WE PUT CONDITIONS IN THE APPROVAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT THAT THEY HAVE TO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA. 
          IN THE CASE OF TRAFFIC, YOU GET A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC, YOU'RE REQUIRED TO ADD A TURN LANE OR SOMETHING. 
          UM, LIKEWISE NOW WE'RE, WE, WERE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE USES WHERE THEY HAVE TO DO A BASELINE NOISE SURVEY OR A BASELINE, UM, AIR QUALITY SURVEY OR WHATEVER IS APPLICABLE TO THAT TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT. 
          WE JUST DON'T KNOW IT YET. 
          SO WE CAN'T ENUMERATE EVERY SINGLE THING IN THE CODE, BUT WE CAN ENUMERATE THOSE THINGS IN OUR CHECKLISTS AND OUR DEVELOPMENT, UM, REQUIREMENTS THAT WE, WE PUT ON. 
          IT'S JUST NOT IN THIS PARTICULAR DOCUMENT. 
          SO I, IN MY OPINION, WE'VE GOTTEN, UM, ALMOST EVERYTHING I THINK WE NEED TO IN THIS DOCUMENT. 
          AGAIN, WE'RE NOT GONNA GET EVERYTHING. 
          UH, I DO HAVE, I'M, I'M GOING TO SWITCH FROM BROAD TO TWO. 
          TWO, UM, THINGS I DID NOTE AGAIN, UM, ACTUALLY IT WAS BROUGHT UP IN THE COMMENT I HAD REQUESTED AND I, THAT WE ADD NOISE IN THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPLICATION, UM, REQUIREMENTS ON PAGE 42 OF THE CODE, IT'S D ONE B, UH, THAT LAST SENTENCE ABOUT THE INCREASE OF HAZARDOUS EMISSIONS, WHICH WAS REQUESTED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION. 
          I WILL REQUEST AGAIN, AND PERHAPS YOU HAVE TO COUNT TO FOUR. 
          SO WE'LL SEE IF OTHER PEOPLE AGREE. 
          I THINK WE SHOULD ADD NOISE TO THAT. 
          UM, SO THAT WE ARE DOING, UM, IF NECESSARY, NOISE AND AIR ADMISSION TESTING. 
          UM, THE OTHER KIND OF QUESTION SLASH COMMENT WAS RELATED AGAIN, TO MY OPACITY COMMENT. 
          I APPRECIATE THE MEMO THAT EXPLAINED IT AND HOW IT WAS HANDLED IN THE BUFFER STUDY, BUT THERE IS STILL A LINE IN THE 
          [01:05:01]
CODE ITSELF. 
          IT'S ON PAGE 27. 
          IT'S 1 53 0.040 B UH, 10 UNDER SCREENING AND BUFFERING. 
          THE SECOND TO LAST LINE ON THAT PAGE, IT SAYS, TO ACHIEVE A GOAL OF 90% OPACITY, AGAIN, I GET IT, WE'RE SPLITTING HAIRS WITH THE WORD GOAL. 
          UM, I JUST THINK IT WOULD BE EASIER TO REFERENCE THE BUFFER STUDY THAN PERHAPS PUT THAT NUMBER IN HERE. 
          WHEN THAT NUMBER IS IN THE CODE, IT MAKES YOU THINK YOU HAVE TO HIT 90. 
          UM, THAT'S AGAIN MY OPINION. 
          I JUST THINK IT'S VERY IMPRACTICAL THAT WE'RE EVER GOING TO HIT 90 . 
          UM, AND THEN JUST IN REFERENCE TO THE BUFFER STUDY ITSELF, THERE STILL ARE SEVERAL REFERENCES. 
          UM, PAGE 15, UM, FIGURE EIGHT DID ADD THE GOAL OF 90% OPACITY WITHIN FIVE TO EIGHT YEARS, WHICH MAKES SENSE, BUT NOWHERE ELSE IN THE DOCUMENT DOES IT CLARIFY THAT PERCENTAGE. 
          SO ON PAGE 17, IT SAYS THERE'S A 75% OPACITY ON SHIRE RING ROAD, UM, RIGHT OF WAY MINIMUM. 
          ON PAGE 37, IT MENTIONS 75. 
          AGAIN, ON PAGE 45 IT SAYS A HUNDRED PERCENT OPACITY. 
          SO I WOULD GIVE ANOTHER LOOK THROUGH THE BUFFER STUDY, UM, AND BE CLEAR THAT THAT IS A GOAL BECAUSE IT'S, THE WORD GOAL WAS ONLY ADDED IN ONE SPOT IN THE BUFFER STUDY, AND THAT FIVE TO EIGHT YEAR MATURE MATURITY PIECE WAS ONLY ADDED. 
          SO, UM, I JUST AGAIN, THINK IT'S KIND OF IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH THOSE CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS AND IT'S GONNA BE A FOREVER STRUGGLE TO DEAL WITH THAT. 
          GOOD EVENING COUNSEL. 
          UM, SO I THINK MAYBE THE LANGUAGE AROUND GOAL OR ADDING THAT CONSISTENTLY THROUGH EACH OF THOSE SECTIONS CAN BE DONE EASILY. 
          AND I THINK THAT IS THE INTENT. 
          THE OPACITY WHY THAT IS SUCH A HIGH OPACITY IS REFLECTIVE OF THE COS GRAY ROAD CONDITION OR OTHER ONES THAT ALSO INTAKES NOT JUST PLANTINGS, BUT THE MOUND ITSELF BECAUSE IT'S EARTH AND YOU CAN'T SEE THROUGH THAT. 
          SO THAT'S COUNTING TOWARDS THAT, AS YOU WOULD SEE FROM THE PUBLIC STREET OR SIDEWALK, IS YOU'RE LOOKING AT EARTH AND GRASS AS WELL AS TREES. 
          AND I THINK THAT IS HOW THAT OPACITY IS HIGHER THERE AND HIGHER THAN YOU WOULD NORMALLY SEE PLACES WHERE IT'S JUST PLANTINGS. 
          SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO CLARIFY THAT THAT'S 90% FROM GROUND LEVEL FOR A FIVE FOOT TALL PERSON OR SOMETHING, BECAUSE AGAIN, IT DOESN'T SAY THAT IN THERE. 
          AND IF YOU PUT A SIX FOOT BUILDING NEXT TO THERE, AND FROM THERE, IT'S NOT 90% SCREENED. 
          SO I JUST, WE'RE CREATING, I THINK THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE WHERE TWO, WE'RE ADDING NUMBERS, CREATES PROBLEMS, UM, IN THE LONG RUN. 
          SO AGAIN, THAT'S JUST MY OPINION. 
          YOU MIGHT HAVE TO COUNT TO FOUR. 
          UM, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD SIMPLIFY THAT. 
          UM, I THINK THAT IS, I THINK THAT'S ALL FOR MY SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS AND TO ADDRESS THE NOISE. 
          UM MM-HMM . 
          PIECE OF THAT. 
          AGAIN, WE CAN MOST DEFINITELY ADD THAT IF THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THE WILL OF COUNCIL. 
          UM, TONIGHT, GIVEN OUR NEW NOISE ORDINANCE, WE DIDN'T MAKE ADDITIONAL CHANGES TO THIS BECAUSE I THINK OUR UNDERSTANDING WAS THROUGH THAT THERE ARE THRESHOLDS FOR WHAT NOISE CAN BE CITYWIDE, WHICH WOULD BE APPLIED HERE AS WELL. 
          BUT IF THAT'S SOMETHING MORE SPECIFIC THAT YOU WANT TO BE REFINED THIS WELL, THE REASON I, I WAS THINKING THAT PARTICULAR SECTION WAS BECAUSE THAT WAS OUTLINING WHAT WAS GONNA BE REQUIRED IN THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPLICATIONS. 
          OKAY. 
          AND IF WE ARE, UM, WE WE'RE NOT REQUIRING CITYWIDE TO DO A NOISE STUDY CORRECT. 
          BEFORE EVERY DEVELOPMENT. 
          WE DO IT WITH TRAFFIC STUDIES. 
          UM, BUT IF THIS IS A TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS A POTENTIAL OF INCREASING NOISE, YEAH, THEN I THINK WE NEED TO OKAY. 
          THAT'S, AT LEAST HAVE IT IN THERE, THAT THAT'S ONE OF THE DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENT OPTIONS IF APPLICABLE TO WHATEVER. 
          AGAIN, WE DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING TO BE COMING. 
          SURE. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S FINE. 
          AGAIN, I'LL LEAVE IT UP TO THE REST. 
          SO YOU CAN COUNT TO FOUR. 
          'CAUSE I MIGHT NOT BE THE ONLY ONE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SO I WANNA START BY THANKING THE RESIDENTS. 
          UM, EVERY TIME THAT YOU SPEAK, I LEARN AND I HEAR YOUR CONCERNS, WE HEAR YOUR CONCERNS. 
          UM, AND ONE THING IN PARTICULAR THAT REALLY STRUCK ME WAS ONE OF OUR EARLIER SPEAKERS WHO SAID THAT THEY DID NOT FEEL HEARD FOR THE FIRST 12 MONTHS. 
          UM, AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT PEOPLE CAN SAY THAT MAYBE THE BALL WAS DROPPED IN NUMEROUS PLACES, UM, BUT THE FACT THAT YOU DIDN'T FEEL HEARD FOR THE FIRST 12 MONTHS, I FEEL BAD ABOUT THAT. 
          [01:10:01]
I DO TAKE SOLACE IN THE FACT THOUGH THAT, UM, THE REST OF THE ENGAGEMENT HAS BEEN VERY ROBUST. 
          AND WITH THAT ROBUST ENGAGEMENT, I AGREE THAT WE HAVE MADE SOME PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES. 
          UM, THE OTHER THING I HEARD WAS THAT SAFETY IS A BIG CONCERN. 
          SAFETY FOR ME IS A BIG CONCERN AS A PHYSICIAN. 
          SAFETY IS ALWAYS MY FIRST CONCERN. 
          UM, IN FACT, I KNOW THAT THE STAFF KNOWS THAT MY QUESTIONS ARE VERY PREDICTABLE BECAUSE THE TENANTS THAT I LIVE BY IS SAFETY. 
          UM, AND I DO THINK THAT WITH THE CHANGES THAT WERE MADE WITH ID SIX, WITH ELIMINATING, UM, UM, BIOSAFETY LEVELS THREE AND FOUR WITH ELIMINATING, UM, DATA CENTERS, I THINK THAT DOES ADDRESS SOME OF IT. 
          ACTUALLY, A LOT OF IT, SOME OF THE THINGS WE ACTUALLY CAN'T OR WON'T EVER, UH, ELIMINATE. 
          SO FOR INSTANCE, LIKE NITRIC IDE IN PARTICULATE MATTER, I'VE STUDIED THIS IN MY RESEARCH LABS, AND THAT HAPPENS JUST WITH DRIVING. 
          BUT THE BIG EGREGIOUS THINGS, I THINK THAT THE STAFF HAS DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB IN ADDRESSING THIS WITH, UH, WITH THE CODE, UM, TO ENSURE SAFETY FOR COMMUNITIES. 
          UM, I DO KNOW THAT PEOPLE MAY THINK THAT A LOT OF THIS IS JUST TRUST TO TRUST US, TO TRUST THE STAFF. 
          UM, BUT ALSO, AGAIN, I DO TAKE SOLACE, JENNY, IN SOME OF YOUR RESPONSES ABOUT THE, THE TIERED FRAMEWORK, THE TIERED REVIEWS THAT WILL HAPPEN, UM, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S WITH THE OHIO BUILDING CODE, YOU KNOW, WASHINGTON, UH, FIRE ANNUAL INSPECTIONS. 
          BUT THEN ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I BROUGHT UP LAST TIME WAS WITH OSHA AND WITH THE, UM, OHIO EPA. 
          AND SO THAT'LL BE CONTINUOUS REVIEWS THAT'LL ALLOW US TO IDENTIFY ANY TRANSGRESSIONS TO PROTECT THE CITIZENS ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, AS COUNCIL MEMBER JOHNSON AND CRAN MENTIONED, WE CAN'T ANTICIPATE EVERYTHING. 
          UM, BUT I DO REALLY LIKE THE FACT THAT WE WILL HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES. 
          SO IF IT DOES GO TO THE A RT AND THE A RT THINKS THAT THIS SHOULD GET KICKED UP TO P AND Z, THEY WILL, WE COUNCIL WILL ALSO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THINGS, UM, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S LIKE AS SEWAGE OR ROADS GO IN. 
          UM, SO THERE WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FURTHER REVIEW. 
          UM, AND SO IT'S NOT JUST BLIND TRUST THAT WE'RE ASKING BECAUSE THERE WILL BE MORE REVIEW. 
          BUT THE OTHER THING THAT I TAKE COMFORT IN IS THAT IN EVERY SINGLE OTHER DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'VE HAD IN DUBLIN SO FAR, UM, I THINK THAT THE CITY HAS ALWAYS HAD THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CITIZENS' MIND. 
          UM, AND AS MAYOR GROOMS POINTED OUT IN THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING WHEN WE HAD DONE THINGS, UM, WE'VE ACTUALLY MADE IT BETTER. 
          SO ONE OF MY BIG CONCERNS WAS THE COSGRAVE ROAD, UM, TRAFFIC STUDY. 
          AND, UM, YOU KNOW, IT WAS POINTED OUT THAT ACTUALLY, IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT IT, AND, AND THIS WAS ACTUALLY IN THE MEMO THAT YOU SENT US, THAT WITH THE DESIGN, IT'LL BE A FOUR-LANE ROAD WITH A DIVIDER, YOU KNOW, AKIN TO A MEREFIELD, WHICH IS A BEAUTIFUL ROAD. 
          UM, AND SO I DO THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, WITH OUR INTENT STATEMENT THAT THINGS WILL BE DONE CORRECTLY. 
          THAT BEING SAID, THOUGH, I STILL AM KIND OF CONCERNED WITH A FEW THINGS, UM, AND I THINK YOU DID A REALLY GOOD JOB AT, AT ACKNOWLEDGING, YOU KNOW, THE, THE BASELINE EMISSIONS AND THE PERCENT INCREASES. 
          THE ONE THING THOUGH, I DID HAVE A QUESTION WITH, AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT, UM, MS. MACINTOSH BROUGHT UP, IT ALLUDED TO A QUESTION THAT I HAD DURING OUR LAST MEETING, AND IT HAS TO DO WITH HOW DO YOU DEFINE CLEAN MANUFACTURING? UM, WHAT ARE THE CLEAN PRODUCTION PRINCIPLES? UM, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IN THE MEMO, UM, IT WAS NOT REALLY ADDRESSED. 
          IT WAS ACTUALLY LABELED AS SORT OF DESCRIPTIVE AND ASPIRATIONAL. 
          UM, AND I THINK THAT IF I READ IT CORRECTLY, I THINK THAT THE STAFF'S POSITION WAS THAT, UM, THAT THE DEMONSTRATION FRAMEWORK IS GONNA BE MUCH MORE RIGOROUS. 
          BUT JENNY, I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD JUST, YOU KNOW, JUST TALK ABOUT THAT AND JUST, YOU KNOW, MAYBE EXPLAIN WHAT THE THINKING WAS BEHIND THE DEFINITION OF CLEAN PRODUCTION PRINCIPLES AND MINIMIZE AND MEASURABLE INCREASES, AND EXACTLY HOW ARE WE GONNA DO THAT? YEAH, SO THIS REALLY TIES INTO, AND THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION AND SOMETHING WE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION INTERNALLY ABOUT, UM, AS WELL AS, I THINK THAT WAS ALSO RAISED AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. 
          SO THAT CLEAN MANUFACTURING IS INCLUDED IN OTHER, UM, INTENT STATEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT. 
          SO, AND THAT'S NOT DEFINED BECAUSE IT'S NOT A PARTICULAR USE, RIGHT? IT'S LOOKING AT THAT LARGER INTENT THAT, THAT I THINK YOU'RE MENTIONING DR. 
          LIAM, UM, REALLY LOOKING AT HOW TO MAKE SURE WE'RE WHAT'S BEING, UM, DEVELOPED WITHIN THIS AND THE PRACTICES AND PRINCIPLES THAT A USER WOULD UNDERTAKE AS PART OF THEIR OPERATIONS. 
          HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS LOW INTENSITY, YOU KNOW, MINIMIZING THE IMPACTS OF THAT FROM A, AGAIN, THE CLEAN PERSPECTIVE. 
          WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? AND WHEN YOU GO BACK TO THE INTENT LANGUAGE, UM, THAT'S REALLY TALKING ABOUT, RIGHT, WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT RAW MATERIALS, IT'S TALKING ABOUT PRODUCTION AND THE CLEAN PIECE OF THAT. 
          AND THEN 
          [01:15:01]
TIES INTO THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, CHECKLISTS AND SOME OF THOSE ITEMS, RIGHT? LIKE WE WOULD LOOK AT EMISSIONS AND ACOUSTICS AND SOME OF THOSE, YOU KNOW, DISCHARGE, UH, FOR WASTEWATER AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          LIKE HOW ARE WE ASSESSING THAT? SO IT'S REALLY LOOKING, AGAIN, IT IS ASPIRATIONAL. 
          IT'S NOT A USE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THAT USE OUTLINED, UM, WITHIN THIS ANYWHERE IN THE CITY. 
          UM, BUT PARTICULARLY IN THIS AS WELL. 
          AND WE WERE NOT TRYING TO INTRODUCE A NEW USE, WE WERE JUST TRYING TO QUANTIFY, UM, OR DESCRIBE THE PRINCIPLES FOR HOW WE WOULD WANT A PARTICULAR USER TO OPERATE. 
          SO HOPEFULLY THAT GETS TO WHAT YOU'RE, WHAT YOU'RE ASKING. 
          YEAH, THAT DOES. 
          AND I ACTUALLY, I DO APPRECIATE THE CHECKLIST. 
          'CAUSE I THINK THE CHECKLISTS ARE GONNA BE VERY HELPFUL YEAH. 
          UH, FOR US IN THAT REGARD. 
          UM, AND SO I WANTED TO THANK YOU AND THE STAFF FOR YOUR CONTINUED EXCELLENT WORK IN THIS. 
          UM, AGAIN, ALSO ACKNOWLEDGING THAT NOTHING IS GONNA BE PERFECT. 
          UM, NOT EVERYONE IS GONNA BE HAPPY WITH THIS, UM, BUT WE'RE DOING THE BEST THAT WE CAN. 
          UM, AND JUST ONE LAST THING IS I ACTUALLY, I DO SUPPORT, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER CRA'S, UM, SUGGESTION TO ADD NOISE TO THE HAZARDOUS EMISSIONS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO I'D LIKE TO START BY THINKING THE RESIDENTS. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF YOU FEEL THAT THE SAME WAY I DO, BUT THIS REALLY IS DEMOCRACY IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT AT WORK. 
          WE'VE, I THINK WE'VE MADE GREAT PROGRESS. 
          WE'RE SHARPENING OUR PENCILS, AND WE'RE DOWN TO BRASS TACKS AT THE MOMENT. 
          UM, I SHARE SOME OF THE SAME CONCERNS THAT, UH, THE FOLKS THAT HAVE SPOKEN BEFORE ME HAVE. 
          AND IT'S REALLY ABOUT SAFETY. 
          IT'S ABOUT, UM, POLICIES, PROCEDURES, UH, CLEAR STANDARDS. 
          UM, I THINK IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR US TO DO THAT AT THIS POINT IN TIME BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF DEVELOPMENT IS GONNA FIT INTO THOSE BOXES, AND WE DON'T WANT TO BE TOO PRESCRIPTIVE. 
          UM, LIKE DR. LAMB SAID, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT LIKE THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT INSPECTS ONCE A YEAR AND, UH, AN ADVANCED MANUFACTURING FACILITY THAT HAS CHEMICALS ON SITE ISN'T GOING TO HAVE TO BE ABIDING BY THE RULES OF THE OHIO UPA AND, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. 
          SO, UM, THIS IS SORT OF UNCHARTERED TERRITORY FOR US, BUT FOR ME, UM, I THINK THAT HIRING CONSULTANTS TO HELP US ESTABLISH CLEAR STANDARDS FOR NOISE LIGHT, UM, THE NOISE, UH, INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE HERE, NORMALLY PERCEPTIBLE AT THE STREET RIGHT OF WAY. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I, I, IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT IF A BUSINESS ADDED AN EXHAUST FAN IN A BATHROOM AND A CONDENSING UNIT OUTSIDE THEIR BUILDING, THAT'S GONNA ADD TO THE NOISE, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, IN THE AREA. 
          SO I THINK IT'S GONNA BE A CHALLENGE FOR US TO DO THIS. 
          UM, IT'S NATURAL FOR US TO AUTOMATICALLY FEAR THE WORST. 
          AND AS MUCH AS I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, HAVE FAITH IN US AND TRUST US, UH, THAT'S VERY HARD TO DO WHEN YOU'RE GONNA BE LIVING DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS. 
          I, I GET IT. 
          UM, SO I THINK IT'S, IT'S SORT OF A BALANCE. 
          YOU'VE DONE YOUR JOB, UM, YOU'VE HELPED US CRAFT A CODE THAT IS BETTER THAN IT WAS A YEAR AND SOME MONTHS AGO. 
          UM, ARE THERE FINER POINTS THAT WE NEED TO WORK TOWARDS? THINGS THAT NO ONE CAN ANTICIPATE? AND LET'S ALSO REMEMBER THAT WE CHANGE CODE ALL THE TIME. 
          WE WOULD CERTAINLY HOPE TO NOT HAVE TO CHANGE THIS CODE NEXT MONTH. 
          UM, A LOT OF WORK HAS GONE INTO IT, BUT WE CHANGE CODE ALL THE TIME. 
          NOTHING IS PERMANENT. 
          SO AS WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS WITH DEVELOPERS AND WE, WE SEE WHAT IS COMING OUR WAY, UH, WE CAN SHARPEN OUR PENCIL AND, AND MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP YOU FOLKS SAFE AND KEEP THE NOISE, UH, THE NOISE AND, AND, AND, UM, LIGHT FOOTPRINT TO A MINIMUM. 
          THANKS. 
          UM, I WILL ADD MY THANKS. 
          I WILL ALSO ADD MY APPRECIATION FOR YOUR CANDOR, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU RESPECT THE PROCESS, AND I KNOW SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO SAY SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE SAID, AND I RESPECT THAT, AND I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          AND AS, UH, MY COLLEAGUES HAVE SAID AND ACKNOWLEDGED WE'VE LEARNED FROM THAT. 
          UM, AGAIN, IF, IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU WERE HEARD, I FEEL BAD ABOUT THAT. 
          I KNOW THE STAFF AND COLLEAGUES DO. 
          I, I HOPE YOU'RE FEELING MORE HEARD, BUT YOUR CANDOR IS IMPORTANT AND YOUR FEEDBACK IS IMPORTANT, AND WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AND, AND WE THANK, WE, THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          UM, I, I KNOW THERE'S, UM, OR SOME STATEMENTS ABOUT RELYING ON THE INTENT STATEMENT A BIT HEAVILY, 
          [01:20:01]
BUT I, I THINK IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT STATEMENT BECAUSE THAT IS THE STATEMENT YOU SHOULD HOLD ALL OF US ACCOUNTABLE TO. 
          AND THE ONE PARTICULAR STATEMENT IN THERE, IT SAYS, UM, ALL OF THIS WORK SHALL NOT RESULT IN ADVERSE IMPACTS TO THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. 
          AND I MENTIONED IT LAST TIME, AND I'LL MENTION IT AGAIN. 
          THAT IS THE INTENT. 
          IT'S HARD TO QUANTIFY EVERYTHING. 
          IT IS HARD TO LIST EVERYTHING. 
          I WOULD SAY IT'S IMPOSSIBLE MAYBE IS IN, IN, IN, IN, IN THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENT TO DO THAT, BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DON'T KNOW. 
          BUT WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THAT IS WHAT OUR COMMITMENT IS, AND THAT IS WHAT OUR INTENT IS. 
          AND SO I THINK THAT IS A VERY IMPORTANT STATEMENT, AND I THINK THAT IS WHAT WE SHOULD HOLD OURSELVES COLLECTIVELY ACCOUNTABLE TO. 
          UM, THERE WAS A COMMENT EARLIER ON, UM, ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY PRINCIPLES, AND WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THOSE THIS EVENING, BUT THERE HAS BEEN SUBSTANTIAL WORK ON WHAT SUSTAINABILITY PRINCIPLES WE ARE ALSO AGREEING TO, TO GUIDE OUR WORK WITH IN THIS CITY. 
          AND WE, WE, AS A COUNCIL, I KNOW, WILL HOLD OURSELVES COMMITTED TO THAT. 
          THE OTHER THING IS CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT, CONTINUOUS REFINEMENT. 
          AND, UM, AS YOU CAN SEE BY, UM, INCLUDING MR. DALE AND SOME OF THE EXPERTS, UM, WE DO NOT SHY AWAY FROM BRINGING IN EXPERTS TO HELP US. 
          AND, UM, MY ASK TO STAFF, ALTHOUGH I'M, I'M CERTAIN I KNOW THE ANSWER, BUT MY ASK TO STAFF IS, WHEN WE DON'T KNOW, WE CONSULT. 
          WHEN WE DON'T KNOW, WE GET THE ANSWER. 
          AND WHEN WE DON'T KNOW, WE FIND IT OUT. 
          WE DON'T ACT AND THEN FIND IT OUT. 
          AND I'M GETTING NODS, AND I KNOW THAT'S THE WAY WE DO. 
          WE DO BUSINESS HERE, AND WE'RE NOT SHY TO DO THAT. 
          AND COUNCIL, AS YOU CAN SEE, WHEN WE GO THROUGH OUR BUDGETS AND OUR OPERATING, WE ALWAYS HAVE SAY TO THE STAFF, DO YOU HAVE WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO THE QUALITY WORK YOU'RE COMMITTING TO DO? THAT IS THE STATEMENT WE ASK. 
          AND SO THAT IS, UM, A COMMITMENT THAT WE, WE WILL PUT FORWARD. 
          AND I'M, I GET NODS FROM THAT. 
          UM, AND I WILL CONCUR AMY'S, UH, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE AN OR NOISE ORDINANCE, IF, IF, IF THIS HELPS US AND NOT CONFLATES, THEN I, I THINK THAT WOULD BE A, A GOOD AD AS WELL. 
          SO, UM, AGAIN, MY THANKS TO ALL THAT HAVE WORKED AND THE COMMITMENT TO DO GOOD WORK. 
          THANK YOU. 
          WELL, UM, I I'LL ADD MY THANKS. 
          IT, IT'S, UM, IT IS IMPORTANT FOR OUR DEMOCRACY. 
          THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT WE DO IN THIS COMMUNITY IS, WELL, THERE'S TWO THINGS THAT ARE PRIMARILY IMPORTANT AND IT'S PUBLIC SAFETY, AND IT'S INSTITUTING A LOCAL DEMOCRACY. 
          AND IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVEN'T BEEN HEARD, UM, THAT THAT IS, UM, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO WORK ON BECAUSE WE DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR COMMUNITY IS HEARD. 
          UM, YOUR VOICES ARE IMPORTANT, AND WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR TIME. 
          UM, I DON'T KNOW, KNOW THAT WE HAVE, UH, BEEN ABLE TO COMMUNICATE AND, AND, AND BECAUSE OF, BECAUSE OF THE WAY DEMOCRACY COMMUNICATES, UH, IT IS CHALLENGING. 
          AND WE HAVE DONE OUR BEST, AND YOU HAVE DONE YOUR BEST. 
          AND SO I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE BEST THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN, AND I'M HOPEFUL THAT ON SOME LEVEL, YOU CAN BE GRATEFUL FOR THE BEST THAT WE HAVE GIVEN AS WELL, UM, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE DO, AND THAT'S IMPORTANT. 
          UM, THAT BEING SAID, UH, THE PUBLIC SAFETY PIECE, I, I DO BELIEVE THAT, UM, THE, THESE ROADWAY NETWORKS AND THESE SETBACKS AND THESE SCREENINGS WILL CREATE A VERY SAFE ENVIRONMENT. 
          I, I HAVE LIVED IN THIS COMMUNITY MY ENTIRE LIFE, AND I'VE SEEN UNSAFE STREETS BECOME MORE SAFE, UM, BECAUSE OF THE WORK THAT THAT COUNCIL HAS DONE, BECAUSE OF THE WORK THAT STAFF HAS DONE AND OUR PLANNING COMMISSION HAS DONE AS WELL. 
          AND THAT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ME. 
          UM, I'M VERY SUPPORTIVE OF AMY'S, UH, THOUGHTS AROUND NOISE. 
          YOU KNOW, IF, IF, IF THAT IS HELPFUL AND WE WANNA HAVE, UH, A NOISE, AN AMBIENT NOISE AND HIGH ACTIVITY NOISE LEVELS SUBMITTED LIKE WE WOULD A TRAFFIC STUDY OR SOME OTHER THING, I THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE. 
          AND FOR USERS SUCH AS THIS SHOULD BE A, UM, SOMETHING THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO PRODUCE AND MEASURE. 
          SO I THINK KNOWING WHAT OUR METRICS ARE GONNA BE, THAT'S PROBABLY GOING TO INVOLVE GETTING SOME EXPERTISE WHEN WE, WHEN WE RECEIVE THAT FIRST APPLICATION AND THAT NOISE STUDY THAT WE ASK FOR OF HELPING US INTERPRET, YOU KNOW, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? WHAT DOES THIS FEEL LIKE? IF YOU'RE A HUNDRED YARDS AWAY, WHAT DOES THIS FEEL LIKE IF YOU'RE 200 YARDS AWAY? AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. 
          SO I WOULD LIKE US TO SEE US COMMIT TO, UM, WORKING ON A, A NOISE, UM, STUDY TO BE SUBMITTED WITH THE APPLICATION SIMILARLY, LIKE WE WOULD WITH ANY TRAFFIC OR TREE SURVEY AND, AND ALL OF THE THINGS THAT ARE REQUIRED. 
          UM, AND THEN I WOULD ALSO BE SUPPORTIVE OF US HIRING 
          [01:25:01]
A SET OF FOLKS THAT COULD HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND, AND WHAT DOES THAT FEEL LIKE, UH, VARIOUS DISTANCES AWAY. 
          I THINK ADDING THE CLARITY ABOUT OPACITY, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY PURELY, UH, HORIZONTAL, BUT IT'S VERTICAL AS WELL. 
          AND I THINK THAT IS AN IMPORTANT ADD TO MAKE THERE SO THAT, UM, THERE IS A CLEAR EXPECTATION AND WE CLEARLY COMMUNICATE THOSE THINGS. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I ALSO AGREE THAT THE, UM, BIOSAFETY LEVELS THAT HAVE BEEN, UM, OMITTED FROM HERE ARE IMPORTANT. 
          I THINK THAT'S A, A BIG, UH, IMPORTANT COMMITMENT THAT WE, THAT WE MAKE. 
          UM, AND IN TERMS OF FOLLOW UP WITH COMPANIES, UH, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STAFF AND A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT STAFF THAT VISIT VIRTUALLY EVERY COMPANY IN THIS COMMUNITY, UH, AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR, SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES A YEAR. 
          SO WE, UH, IT WILL BE IMPORTANT FOR US TO CONTINUE TO, UM, BE PRESENT AND UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON IN THESE FACILITIES. 
          AND I, I WILL SAY THAT'S VERY UNUSUAL IF, IF YOU GO TO OTHER PLACES, UM, CERTAINLY IN THE, UM, CORPORATE SIDE IS NOT VISITED LIKE THEY ARE HERE IN THE CITY OF DUBLIN. 
          SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE DO EXTREMELY WELL. 
          UM, SO WITH THAT, UM, I THINK WE CAN, UH, IF IF THERE'S NOTHING FURTHER, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND, UM, CALL FOR A VOTE. 
          IS THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS? I JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAR THAT, ABOUT THE NOISE. 
          IF, IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU FEEL YOU'VE GOTTEN DIRECTION ACCOUNTED FOR. 
          OKAY. 
          YES, THANK YOU. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          BOTH OF THOSE ITEMS. YEP. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SO ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU NEED FROM US MOVING FORWARD? NO, THIS IS HELPFUL. 
          UM, AND IT HELPS US TO FIND OUR NEXT STEPS TO ENUMERATE THOSE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS AND GET, YOU KNOW, A CONSULTANT HELP ON BOARD AHEAD OF TIME. 
          SO WE'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, IMPACTING DEVELOPMENT REVIEWS. 
          AND AGAIN, WE'RE, WE WORK HAND IN HAND WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND AS WE'VE GONE THROUGH THIS PROCESS, HAD VERY CANDID CONVERSATIONS WITH STAKEHOLDERS, PROPERTY OWNERS, BUT ALSO PEOPLE THAT DO THIS AND DEVELOP IN THE REAL WORLD AND UNDERSTANDING THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE, YOU KNOW, WHAT OUR INTENT IS. 
          AND THE ONES THAT WE HAVE SPOKEN TO ARE, YOU KNOW, THEIR INTENT ON BRINGING USES THAT THEY KNOW ALIGN. 
          THEIR GOAL IS TO, YOU KNOW, PROTECT THEIR INVESTMENT, PROTECT THE CITY'S INTERESTS AND THE RESIDENT, THEY WANNA BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR. 
          SO, I MEAN, I THINK WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT HOW TO WHAT WE WANT AND IT'S HOW DO WE MAKE THAT HAPPEN? AND I GUESS THE FINAL THING I'LL SAY ON THAT IS, YOU KNOW, UH, A T IS, I I'M SURE GOING TO BE VERY CAUTIOUS AS THESE APPLICATIONS ROLL IN, YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THE EXPECTATION IS AND, AND I WOULD EXPECT, UM, IF THEY FELT THERE WERE ANY SHORTCOMINGS THAT WERE EVEN CLOSE TO BEING SHORTCOMINGS, THAT YOU WOULD KICK THAT INTO THE PLANNING, UH, PROCESS BECAUSE, UH, PARTICULARLY AS WE GET ACCUSTOMED TO THIS, UH, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE ALL GOING TO HAVE TO BE WORKING TOGETHER AND MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE LIKE-MINDED MOVING FORWARD. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          YEAH. 
          AS THE CHAIR OF THAT COMMITTEE, I TAKE THAT ROLE VERY SERIOUSLY. 
          SO YEAH. 
           VERY GOOD. 
          WELL, THANK YOU. 
          UM, IF THERE IS NOTHING FURTHER THAN JENNY, WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLE VICE MAYOR DEROSA? YES, MAYOR AROSE GROOMS? YES. 
          MS. JOHNSON? NO. 
          DR. LAMB? YES. 
          MS. SALUTO? YES. 
          MR. KEELER? YES. 
          MS. CRAM? YES. 
          VERY GOOD, THANK YOU. 
          THIS WILL BRING US 
          [Ordinance 06-25]
TO THE ADDITIONAL READING, PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCE ORDINANCE ZERO SIX DASH 25 AMENDED REZONING APPROXIMATELY 370 ACRES LOCATED WITHIN THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT FROM OUR RURAL DISTRICT TO ID SIX RESEARCH TRANSITION DISTRICT ID TWO RESEARCH FLEX DISTRICT AND ID THREE RESEARCH ASSEMBLY DISTRICT. 
          VERY GOOD. 
          AND WE ARE GONNA STICK WITH JENNY WORKING OVERTIME AS OUR STAFF REPORT. 
          WELCOME BACK. 
          I AM. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, AGAIN, SO THIS IS, UM, ORDINANCE ZERO SIX DASH 25, WHICH WAS TABLED, UM, BY COUNSEL IN AUGUST OF LAST YEAR TO ALLOW US TO, UM, AS I MENTIONED, FOCUS ON THE CODE AMENDMENTS. 
          UM, THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE PART OF, UM, THE ORDINANCE TONIGHT FOR COUNCIL'S REVIEW INCLUDE, UM, THESE NINE PARCELS, WHICH ARE APPROXIMATELY 370 ACRES. 
          UM, THEY HAVE FRONTAGE ON, UM, SEVERAL ROADWAYS COS GRAY SHIRE RINGS, HOCHER AND RINGS ROAD. 
          UM, AGAIN, AS WE'VE TALKED THROUGH, UM, THIS, AND WE'LL GET INTO MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE PARTICULAR, UM, RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE LAND USE, BUT AGAIN, THIS IS ALL IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT IN THE FUTURE LAND USE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE COMMUNITY PLAN. 
          SO IN TERMS OF CASE HISTORY, UM, THIS ORDINANCE WAS BEFORE COUNSEL ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOLLOWING PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION'S REVIEW IN FEBRUARY OF, OF 2000, UH, 25, WHICH WITH, AGAIN THEN HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ADDITIONAL READINGS THROUGHOUT, UM, 25 AND REALLY AGAIN, HIGHLIGHTING THE PUBLIC INPUT CONCERNS, UM, THAT WE TALKED ABOUT 
          [01:30:01]
WITH THE PREVIOUS ORDINANCE, REALLY LOOKING AT THOSE PERMITTED USES, ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS, TRAFFIC, ALL BUILDING HEIGHTS, ALL THOSE THINGS WE WE JUST TALKED ABOUT, RIGHT? THOSE WERE THINGS THAT WE REALLY WANTED TO FOCUS ON. 
          UM, AND WHAT, UM, LED TO THE TABLING OF THAT ORDINANCE, UM, IN AUGUST. 
          SO WHEN WE LOOK AT A REZONING APPLICATION ANYWHERE IN THE CITY, WE, WE LOOK TO ENVISION DUBLIN AND WHAT ARE THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE MADE, UM, TO THE FUTURE LAND USE AND THE SPECIAL AREA PLANS TO HELP GUIDE THAT DECISION. 
          AND FOR THESE PARTICULAR PROPERTIES THAT ARE OUTLINED IN YELLOW, UM, YOU'LL NOTICE THEN THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE ON THE EAST SIDE, UM, OF THE RAIL AND A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY THAT IS ADJACENT TO RINGS ROAD. 
          OUR FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOMMENDS THAT TO BE FLEX INNOVATION, WHICH IS MOST CLOSELY ALIGNED TO ID TWO NOW, ID SIX, UM, DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION, PARTICULARLY ADJACENT TO COS GRAY ROAD, THAT'S WHERE THAT ID SIX IS FOCUSED. 
          UM, AND THEN THE DARKER PURPLE ON THE WEST SIDE, THAT IS OUR INDUSTRIAL FUTURE LAND USE RECOMMENDATION, WHICH MORE CLOSELY ALIGNS WITH ID THREE. 
          SO THAT HELPS SET THE STAGE FOR WHERE OUR RECOMMENDATION WAS IN TERMS OF, UM, WHAT ZONING DISTRICTS THOSE WOULD BE, UM, PROPOSED TO BE REZONED TO. 
          UM, AGAIN, SIMILAR TO THE CODE AMENDMENTS CONVERSATION, WE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION AS PART OF THE COMMUNITY PLAN UPDATE AND REALLY LOOKING AT AND BEING INTENTIONAL ABOUT WHERE USES ARE LOCATED WITHIN THAT SPECIAL AREA PLAN. 
          AGAIN, WANTING TO HAVE THAT ECONOMIC ENGINE FOR THE CITY OF DUBLIN AND HELPING TO BUILD THAT DIVERSITY OF ECONOMIC BASE CITYWIDE. 
          UM, AGAIN, AND HOW DOES THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT FIT WITHIN THAT? BUT AGAIN, ALSO RECOGNIZING THE ADJACENCY TO RESIDENTIAL, UM, WITHIN THE COS GRAY, UH, ALONG THE CROS GRAY FRONTAGE, WHICH YOU SEE, UM, NOTED AS, UM, THE BUFFER ALONG COS GRACE WANTING TO BE SENSITIVE, THAT PRESERVATION OF THAT HISTORIC FARMSTEAD, UM, AND REALLY HELPING TO UNDERSTAND HOW FUTURE ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS CAN BE INCORPORATED AS PART OF THAT. 
          SO ALL THAT ALL GOES INTO, YOU KNOW, HOW WE THINK ABOUT, UM, AND OUR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THIS REZONING. 
          IN ADDITION, UM, I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THE RECENTLY ADOPTED, UM, WI INTEGRATED IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY, UM, AND THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS BECAUSE THAT HELPS US UNDERSTAND RIGHT, THE NEAR TERM, LONG TERM, UM, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND, UM, DETAILS THAT NEED TO BE A ACCOMMODATED IN THE LARGER WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT, BUT PARTICULAR TO, UM, THIS REZONING APPLICATION. 
          SO, UM, AREA H HERE AS WE HIGHLIGHTED IN THE MEMO, BUT JUST ENUMERATE REALLY HIGH LEVEL HERE THAT NEEDS TO ACCOMMODATE IN THE NEAR TO MIDTERM FOR DEVELOPMENT TO HAPPEN NEW STREET FOUR IN SOME WAY THAT COS GRAY SEWER MAIN EXTENSION, UM, ALONG SHIRE RINGS AND THE MODERNIZATION OF COS GRAY ROAD THAT DR. LAMB MENTIONED THAT WE TALKED ABOUT AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING OF THE FOUR LANES WITH THE, UM, FIFTH DIVIDED MEDIAN. 
          UM, SO THOSE IMPROVEMENTS ARE NEEDED TO HELP THAT, UM, AREA DEVELOP. 
          THEN LOOKING AT J WHICH IT ENCOMPASSES MORE AREA THAN IS PART OF THE REZONING APPLICATION, BUT SEE THAT THAT IS A LONGER TERM DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL AND THERE ARE SOME MORE EXTENSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN FOR THOSE TO DEVELOP, WHICH INCLUDE ADDITIONAL SEWER, WATER AND SEWER CONNECTIONS AND FUTURE TOTAL CROSSING BOULEVARD. 
          SO THE GOAL OF THAT INTEGRATION STUDY WAS TO LOOK AT, RIGHT, WE HAVE THIS VISION, BUT HOW DO WE MAKE THAT COME TO REALITY AND WHAT DO WE NEED? WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO? WHAT DOES THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY NEED TO DO TO MAKE THOSE DEVELOPABLE? SO THAT HELPS TIE INTO THE FUTURE OF, OF DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THIS AREA. 
          SO THE CURRENT ZONING FOR, UM, ALL NINE PROPERTY IS, IS OUR, WHICH IS OUR RURAL DISTRICT. 
          UM, WHICH AGAIN IS LARGELY, LARGELY LOT SINGLE FAMILY COULD BE SOME AGRICULTURAL USES. 
          SO AGAIN, THAT'S TYPICALLY OUR BASE ZONING WHEN SOMETHING IS ANNEXED INTO THE CITY. 
          SO AS THE REZONING COMES FORWARD, THEN LIKE I MENTIONED, WE LOOK AT THE FUTURE LAND USE TO UNDERSTAND HOW THAT ALIGNS. 
          SO AS WE HAVE PROPOSED, UM, TO COUNSEL AND WHEN THAT WAS REMOVED FROM THE TABLE, UH, WE SUBSTITUTED THE ORDINANCE TO THEN, UM, MAKE A RECOMMENDATION FOR THE ID SIX, UM, ZONING TO BE APPLIED TO THE PORTIONS OF THE PARCELS, UM, WET EAST OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS WITH THEN THE REMAINING, UM, PORTIONS OF THOSE PROPERTIES LOCATED TO THE WEST OF THE RAIL. 
          UM, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THAT PROPERTY, UM, RIGHT ALONG RINGS ROAD TO BE ID THREE AND ID TWO AS IT'S HIGHLIGHTED ON YOUR MAP. 
          SO AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE HOW THEN THE VARIOUS USES WITHIN THOSE DISTRICTS ALIGN WITH, UM, THE FUTURE LAND USE RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          UM, AS PART OF THAT, WHICH AGAIN, THAT ID TWO AND ID SIX, UM, CLOSE TO THAT FLEX INNOVATION FUTURE LAND USE AND THE, UM, ID THREE BEING MORE, MOST CLOSELY RELATED TO THE, IN THE INDUSTRIAL FEATURE LAND. 
          [01:35:02]
UM, AND AGAIN, THIS JUST GOES INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ABOUT THE PARTICULAR USES. 
          HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT. 
          UM, IN TERMS OF PROPERTY OWNERSHIP, WE ENUMERATED IN YOUR, THIS IS KIND OF HARD TO READ, I APOLOGIZE, UM, IN YOUR MEMO, PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE HAD, UM, THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS. 
          SO THE CITY OF DUBLIN OWNS THE NORTHERN TWO PARCELS, UM, THAT ARE PART OF THE ID SIX RECOMMENDATION. 
          THEN, UM, THE LIGGETT PROPERTY, WHICH IS, UM, LOCATED BETWEEN THE CITY PARCEL AND THEN THE PARCEL TO THE SOUTH HAS SPLIT BASED ON THE RAIL. 
          SO ID SIX ON THE EAST SIDE, ID THREE ON THE WEST, SIMILAR TO, UM, THE VAART PROPERTY, UM, LOCATED IN THAT SOUTHERN PORTION AND THEN THE WHITMER FAMILY LOCATED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RAIL ID THREE AND, UM, JJK OR TO GONI PROPERTY THAT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ID TWO. 
          SO AGAIN, WE'RE, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE ALIGNMENT OF THAT. 
          WE'VE HAD SEVERAL DISCUSSIONS WITH THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS. 
          UM, SEVERAL OF THEM WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS JUST TO UNDERSTAND THEIR ALIGNMENT, UM, WITH THE FUTURE, OR EXCUSE ME, OUR PROPOSED RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          SO, UM, ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE RAIL, THE UM, PROPERTY OWNER FOR THE BUCK PROPERTY AND THE BASSETT PROPERTY HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT, UM, THE ID SIX PROPOSED, UM, REZONING JUST GIVEN THE LIMITATIONS OF THE USES AND OR THE DESIRE TO PUT RESIDENTIAL THERE, WHICH AGAIN, WE'VE HAD LOTS OF CONVERSATIONS, DOESN'T ALIGN WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP. 
          SO WE'VE HAD, UM, DISCUSSION WITH THEM ABOUT THAT. 
          AND THEN WE'VE ALSO HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH THE WHITMER PROPERTY AND, UM, THE JJK PROPERTIES ABOUT THEIR INTEREST IN, UM, THE REZONING AS WE'VE PROPOSED IT FOR ID TWO AND THREE AND HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERNS OF ID SIX IS APPLIED TO THAT PROPERTY, THAT THAT FURTHER LIMITS THEIR, UM, DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL. 
          SO AGAIN, ALL THAT IS ENUMERATED IN YOUR MEMO, BUT JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT, UM, AT A HIGH LEVEL FOR WHERE ALL THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS STAND, UM, THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS. 
          HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, UM, ABOUT THAT. 
          BUT ULTIMATELY THAT IS ALL FOR COUNCIL TO TAKE UNDER YOUR CONSIDERATION TONIGHT AND MAKE, UM, AND MAKE YOUR DETERMINATION, UM, BASED ON, YOU KNOW, FUTURE LAND USE AND HOW AND HOW YOU SEE FIT FOR THIS, UM, PARTICULAR REZONING. 
          SO, UM, WITH THAT, AS I MENTIONED, THIS WENT BEFORE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, UM, AS A WHOLE IN FEBRUARY OF 2025, THEY MADE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL. 
          UM, AND AGAIN, THAT WAS BASED ON ID TWO AND THREE. 
          OBVIOUSLY WE'VE, UM, MODIFIED THIS BASED ON THE CODE AMENDMENTS, BUT WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS ORDINANCE AS IS PROPOSED BEFORE YOU TONIGHT. 
          SO AGAIN, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. 
          VERY GOOD, THANK YOU. 
          THIS WILL BRING US TO THE PUBLIC COMMENT PORTION OF OUR AGENDA AND LIKE LAST TIME, UH, WE, I BELIEVE HAVE SOME FOLKS THAT HAVE SIGNED IN, WE WILL CALL THEM FIRST. 
          IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO SIGN IN, UH, WE'LL BE HAPPY TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS AT THE CONCLUSION OF THAT TIME. 
          SO WITH THAT, LINDSAY, YOU WANNA START US OFF? SURE. 
          AND I WANTED TO MENTION THAT WE DID HAVE SEVERAL COMMENTS SUBMITTED ON THIS TOPIC AHEAD OF TIME, UM, OF TO TONIGHT'S MEETING PER THE CITY'S POLICY. 
          THE CLERK PROVIDED ALL COMMENTS BEFORE TODAY TO COUNSEL AHEAD OF TIME. 
          UH, COMMENTS THAT WERE SUBMITTED TODAY WILL BE READ INTO THE RECORD, UM, ANYTHING THAT WAS BEFORE 6 59 THIS EVENING. 
          UH, TO THAT POINT WE DO HAVE A COMMENT FROM MR. LANG HALLS AND I WANTED TO SEE IF YOU WANTED ME TO READ THAT ALOUD OR, UM, YOU ALREADY HAD THE CHANCE TO READ THAT, SO IT'S UP TO YOU. 
          I PRETTY MUCH SAID WHAT THAT SAYS, SO WE'RE GOOD. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO THAT COMMENT WAS SUBMITTED FOR THIS AGENDA ITEM YES, FOR THIS, FOR THE REZONING. 
          THE NEXT COMMENT WAS FROM KARA KER, 56 26 ALDERBROOK DRIVE, DUBLIN, OHIO 4 3 0 1 6. 
          DEAR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, AS A BALANCER RESIDENT, I AM WRITING TO REQUEST CITY COUNCIL VOTE TO HAVE THE ENTIRE WIT AREA ZONED ID SIX. 
          SO MUCH TIME AND COLLABORATION HAS BEEN PUT UP INTO THIS POINT. 
          THE AMENDMENTS MADE TO ID SIX MAKE SENSE TO HAVE THE WHOLE AREA EAST AND WEST OF THE TRACK ZONE TO THIS. 
          THIS WILL ENSURE ALL RESIDENTS ARE KEPT SAFE FROM INDUSTRIAL CONCERNS. 
          PLEASE VOTE TO KEEP DUBLIN GREEN SAFE AND A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE FOR ALL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THE NEXT IS FROM ANGELA GRIFFIN, 55 59 KINVARA LANE, DUBLIN, OHIO 4 3 0 1 6. 
          AFTER THE MANY MONTHS OF WORKING TOWARD A NEW ID SIX CODE THAT WOULD PROTECT THE RESIDENTS OF BALANCE TRAY FROM POTENTIAL HARMFUL IMPACTS OF INDUSTRIAL USES, I AM BAFFLED HOW ANYONE WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE TO ZONE THE PARCELS WEST OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS DIFFERENTLY. 
          MUCH OF THAT LAND IS LITERALLY CLOSER TO MANY HOMES IN BALANCE TRAY AMLIN AND IN THE BACKYARDS OF FAMILIES ON HOARD ROAD. 
          SPLITTING THESE PARCELS TO REZONE AS ID TWO AND THREE IS SIMPLY SHAMEFUL. 
          WHY ARE THE INTERESTS OF A COUPLE POTENTIAL LANDOWNERS GIVEN MORE WEIGHT 
          [01:40:01]
THAN THE HUNDREDS OF ACTUAL LANDOWNERS IN THE AREA? PLEASE PUT PEOPLE OVER PROFITS, KEEP OUR COMMUNITY SAFE AND DO THE RIGHT THING WHEN VOTING TONIGHT. 
          ZONE ALL THE LAND EAST AND WEST OF THE TRACKS AS THE NEW ID SIX CLASSIFICATION NEXT IS FROM MATTHEW CONNOLLY, 6,000 HOCHER ROAD, DUBLIN, OHIO 4 3 0 1 6. 
          DEAR MEMBERS OF DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL, MY NAME IS MATT CONNOLLY AND I LIVE AT 6,000 HOARD ROAD. 
          I AM WRITING TO VOICE MY CONCERNS REGARDING THE CURRENT ZONING STRATEGY WEST OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS. 
          I URGE THE CITY TO PLEASE REPLACE THE PROPOSED ID THREE CLASSIFICATION WITH THE SAME ID SIX RESEARCH TRANSITION DISTRICT DESIGNATION ON COS GRAY FOR HOARD ROAD RESIDENTS. 
          ALLOWING THE HIGH INTENSITY INDUSTRIAL USES PERMITTED IN ID THREE DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO OUR HOMES, INTRODUCES AN UNACCEPTABLE RISK OF TOXIC STORM WATER RUNOFF. 
          OIL AND CHEMICAL RESIDUES FROM THESE UNKNOWN FACILITIES CAN EASY, EASILY MIGRATE INTO THE SOIL, SEEP INTO THE SHARED WATER TABLE, AND PERMANENTLY POISON THE AQUIFERS FEEDING OUR HOUSEHOLD WELLS. 
          THIS IS A DIRECT AND IRREVERSIBLE THREAT TO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OUR FAMILIES. 
          HOCHER ROAD IS NOW ENTIRELY DEPENDENT ON THE LEADERSHIP OF DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL TO PROTECT OUR HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT. 
          AGAIN, I ASK THE CITY TO PLEASE PRIORITIZE HUMAN HEALTH AND SAFETY BY EXTENDING ID SIX PROTECTIONS TO ALL RESIDENTIAL PARCELS ALONG HOARD ROAD DUBLIN. 
          PLEASE DO NOT SACRIFICE THE RESIDENTS OF HOARD ROAD. 
          HEAVY INDUSTRIAL DOES NOT BELONG. 
          IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO RESIDENTIAL, EMPHASIS ON PRESERVATION OF HUMAN HEALTH AND SAFETY SHOULD BE THE CITY'S PRIMARY OBLIGATION. 
          THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. 
          NEXT IS FROM TODD HEMET, 58 28 HOARD ROAD, DUBLIN, OHIO 4 3 0 1 6. 
          OUR NAMES ARE TODD AND DENISE HEMMER AND WE RESIDE AT 58 24 HOARD ROAD. 
          AS WE ENGINEERS, WE ENJOY AS ENGINEERS, WE ENJOY FACTS, LOGIC, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY NUMBERS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT LIE. 
          LOGIC REQUIRES YOU TO QUESTION AND ASK WHY TO UNDERSTAND THE FACTS. 
          WHY WOULD THE CITY AND COMMUNITY PLAN DESIGNATE ID THREE FOR HOARD ROAD WHEN THERE ARE ALREADY 100 ACRES OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ALREADY THERE? HOW DOES INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION IMPACT SAFETY FROM THE LEXUS NEXUS DATA? THERE IS A ONE MILE RADIUS AROUND GROVE CITY FOR INDUSTRIAL AREA AND IT SHOWS 684% INCREASE IN CRIME WHEN COMPARED TO A ONE MILE RADIUS AROUND THE GOLF CLUB OF DUBLIN. 
          WHY WOULD DUBLIN CITY PUT PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER? HOW WILL HEAVY MANUFACTURING AND ASSEMBLY WAREHOUSE DISTRIBUTION AND POWER GENERATION AND SUBSTATION IMPACT BOTH HOCHER ROAD AND BALANCE TRAY RESIDENTS HEALTH AND WELLBEING? SIMPLE ANSWER IS YOU CANNOT FIND INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION 150 FEET AWAY FROM RESIDENTIAL IN THE UNITED STATES. 
          THE RISK IS TOO HIGH WATER, AIR NOISE, AND LIGHT POLLUTION FOR STARTERS, CAN YOU IMAGINE LIVING 150 FEET AWAY FROM A 24 HOUR WAREHOUSE AND DISTRIBUTION CENTER WITH MORE THAN 100 LOADING DOCKS? WORST YET A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, ALSO KNOWN AS AN SMR SMALL MODULAR REACTOR, WHICH ARE BEING INSTALLED IN THE DATA CENTERS. 
          WHY DOES A REDUCTION OF NEGATIVE 17% PROPERTY VALUE MAKES SENSE WHEN IN THE PAST IT WAS INCREASING EVERY THREE YEARS MORE THAN 25%. 
          THIS IS DATA FOUND ON THE UNION COUNTY AUDITOR'S WEBSITE FOR A RURAL COMMUNITY OFF INDUSTRIAL PARKWAY THAT IS NOW SURROUNDED BY INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION. 
          IF THERE ARE SO MANY COMPANIES LOOKING FOR SPACE IN DUBLIN, WHY IS COMMAND ALCON BUILDING SITTING OPEN FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS? HOW MANY OTHER BUILDINGS ARE SITTING OPEN IN DUBLIN? WHY DID COMMEND ALCON LEAVE THEIR 10 YEAR TIFF RAN OUT AND THE DAY THEY DID THEY LEFT. 
          THE CITY MUST NEED THE ECONOMIC BENEFIT OF INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION. 
          WHY WOULD THE CITY BE CHASING WAREHOUSE AND DISTRIBUTION AND MANUFACTURING AND ASSEMBLY JOBS THAT PAY $17 AN HOUR? WE ASKED THE CITY FOR DATA BEHIND THE COMMUNITY PLAN. 
          IT TOOK MONTHS BECAUSE THE CITY DID NOT HAVE THE DATA. 
          ONLY THE CONSULTANTS HAD THE DATA AFTER COMBING THROUGH THE EXCEL FILES. 
          HERE IS THE HIGH LEVEL. 
          THE CITY WILL SPEND $1.1 BILLION FOR A RETURN OF 1.2 BILLION OVER 25 YEARS. 
          THIS IS A 0.3% RETURN PER YEAR SOUNDS LIKE AN EXTREMELY LOW RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT AND MOST CO CORPORATIONS WOULD NEVER APPROVE BUSINESS LIKE THAT. 
          WHY WOULD YOU? WHEN THE CITY SURVEYED AND RECEIVED FEEDBACK FROM THE RESIDENTS, SOME OF THE LANDOWNERS WERE LOUD AND CLEAR. 
          OPPOSING ID THREE PREFERRING RESIDENTIAL. 
          WE WERE TOLD RESIDENTIAL DOES NOT MAKE SENSE NEXT TO RAILROAD TRACKS, AS THE CITY WOULD ONLY GET $200 OFF OF $10,000 PROPERTY TAX AND POTENTIALLY INCREASE STRAIN OF THE ROADS. 
          THE CITY HAD SURPLUS OF FUNDS DUE TO SEVERAL FACTORS, BUT THE US BUREAU OF LABOR SHOWS THAT 50% OF BACHELOR DEGREE AND HIGHER WORK FROM HOME. 
          SO IF YOU HAD 100 HOMES AT $1 MILLION AND ASSUMING $250,000 INCOME, THIS WOULD RESULT IN $500,000 PER YEAR. 
          370, 370 ACRES OF MORE TO DOUBLE, MORE THAN DOUBLE THAT. 
          AS FOR THE TRAFFIC INCREASE FROM THE INSTITUTE OF TRANSPORTATION, THE ENGINEERS SHOW THAT R AND D HAS POINT HAS A POSITIVE 27% HIGHER THAN SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. 
          OFFICE BUILDINGS ARE 51% HIGHER THAN 
          [01:45:01]
SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. 
          FINALLY, TO ADDRESS YOUR CONCERN AROUND THE TRAIN NOISE, WHICH IS ONLY 50 DB FROM 500 FEET AWAY AND ONLY PASSES A FEW TIMES A DAY WHEN COMPARED TO HIGHWAY, THAT IS A CONSTANT 50 DB FROM A MILE AWAY. 
          WE REQUESTED A QUIET ZONE BE CREATED TO ELIMINATE THE TRAIN HORNS. 
          A YEAR AGO, THE CITY OF DUBLIN BEING ONE OF THE THREE MUNICIPALITIES TO REVIEW THE QUIET ZONE. 
          TO MY KNOWLEDGE THIS PROCESS HAS NOT STARTED THE WID MISSION STATEMENT. 
          ESTABLISH A WORLD CLASS, WORLD CLASS INNOVATION AND RESEARCH DISTRICT THAT SERVES AN ECONOMIC ENGINE FOR DUBLIN COMMUNITIES THAT PROVIDE A BALANCE OF LIVE, WORK, PLAY. 
          WHAT IS INNOVATIVE ABOUT A WAREHOUSE AND DISTRIBUTION CENTER? MANUFACTURING AND ASSEMBLY ARE NOT INNOVATED EITHER. 
          HOW ARE NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS OR A SUBSTATION ENHANCING DUBLIN'S REPUTATION? WHY HAS HOOED ROAD RESIDENTS NOT BEEN DISCUSSED AT ANY OF THE P AND Z AND CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS? THIS PAST JANUARY THE CITY ISSUED A MEMO THAT THE WEST SIDE OF THE TRACKS WAS NOT GOING TO BE REZONED AND ONLY THE EAST SIDE WAS BEING STUDIED FOR ID SIX. 
          THIS WAS EXTREMELY MISLEADING. 
          SO EVERY TIME WE DISCUSSED OUR CONCERN ON HOARD ROAD, IT WAS SIMPLY DISMISSED AS NOT PART OF THE AGENDA. 
          47 HOARD ROAD RESIDENTS SIGNED A REQUEST TO CHANGE THE PARCEL ON HOARD ROAD FROM ID THREE, ID TWO TO ID SIX ALL NEARLY 75 RESIDENTS ON HOO ROAD MATTER AND HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS AS ENTRE AND ACTUALLY ARE AT HIGHER RISK DUE TO WE ARE ON WELL WATER. 
          THE WASHINGTON TRUSTEES ALSO AGREE WITH THE RESIDENTS AND SIGNED AND SUBMITTED A LETTER TO DUBLIN CITY TO CHANGE THE ZONING FROM ID THREE. 
          TWO TO ID SIX. 
          IN SUMMARY, THE NUMBERS DO NOT LIE. 
          THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND QUALITY OF LIFE AND PROPERTY VALUES DO NOT SUPPORT ID THREE. 
          ID TWO ON HOARD ROAD. 
          THE WID MISSION STATEMENT, INCLUDING LIVE, WORK, PLAY DOES NOT SUPPORT ID THREE. 
          ID TWO RESIDENTIAL DOES NOT WORK FOR THE CITY. 
          THE ONLY LOGICAL RESULT IS ID SIX, WHICH IS NOT PERFECT BUT BETTER THAN ID THREE AND HAS A HIGHER RETURN ON INVESTMENT WITH MUCH LOWER RISK TO THE EXISTING RESIDENTS. 
          ON HOCHER AND BALANCE TRAY, PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THE NEXT IS FROM THERESA COLLINS 56 19 TIME CASTLE LOOP, DUBLIN, OHIO 4 3 0 1 6. 
          WHILE THE CITY'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GOALS AS THE REASON FOR THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT REZONING, I HAVE SEEN NO CREDIBLE EVIDENCE OF THE CLAIMED POSITIVE ECONOMIC IMPACTS DESPITE 14 MONTHS OF REPEATED RESIDENT REQUESTS. 
          FOR THAT INFORMATION, I STRONGLY OPPOSE PLACING ID TWO RESEARCH FLEX AND ID THREE. 
          RESEARCH ASSEMBLY ZONING DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO EXISTING RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES THESE DISTRICTS PERMIT USES THAT CARRY CLEAR AND UNACCEPTABLE RISKS OF GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION, ESPECIALLY FOR HOMES ON PRIVATE WELL SYSTEMS. IT IS DEEPLY DISAPPOINTING THAT CITY STAFF, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND CERTAIN COUNCIL MEMBERS CONTINUE TO DOWNPLAY OR OVERLOOK THESE VULNERABILITIES. 
          HOMES ALONG HOARD ROAD ARE IN NEARBY AREAS. 
          MANY OUTSIDE DUBLIN'S CURRENT BOUNDARIES ARE BEING TREATED WITH LITTLE TO NO REGARD FOR THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS ON RESIDENTS HEALTH AND SAFETY. 
          THE PATTERN OF CITY LAND ACQUISITIONS AND ANNEX ANNEXATIONS ALONG HUARD ROAD VISIBLE ON THE DUB DISCOVERY MAP SUGGESTS THE STRATEGY THAT COULD EFFECTIVELY SQUEEZE OUT OR DEVALUE THESE NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES THROUGH INCOMPATIBLE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT. 
          FURTHERMORE, THE CITY HAS A CLEAR OBLIGATION TO COORDINATE WITH WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP AND LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENTS BEFORE REZONING PARCELS WEST OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS. 
          PROCEEDING WITH HIGHER INTENSITY USES WITHOUT A THOROUGH ANALYSIS OF THE ADDED STRAIN ON EMERGENCY RESPONSE RESOURCES IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND SHOWS A BLATANT LACK OF CONSIDERATION FOR NEIGHBORING JURISDICTIONS. 
          A PATTERN THAT HAS BECOME ALL TOO COMMON FROM DUBLIN. 
          THE DECISION THE DECISIONS BEING MADE FOR DUBLIN'S SOUTHWEST CORNER HAVE SIGNIFICANT CONSEQUENCES FOR HILLIARD SCHOOL STUDENTS AND WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP RESIDENTS WHO HAVE NO VOTE OR REPRESENTATION IN THIS PROCESS. 
          THESE IMPACTS DEMAND FAR GREATER TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND GENUINE DELIBERATION. 
          I WOULD URGE COUNSEL TO TABLE THE REZONING AND FULLY ADDRESS ALL OF THE CONSIDERATIONS RESIDENTS HAVE RAISED. 
          HOWEVER, IT IS CLEAR FROM THE JUNE 26TH COMMUNICATION THAT A VOTE WILL OCCUR WITHOUT PRIORITIZING TRULY COMPATIBLE TRANSITIONAL USES. 
          USES THAT PROTECT EXISTING RESIDENTS ON ALL SIDES OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT BOUNDARIES. 
          BOB CURTIS 59 0 3 NEW BRIDGE DRIVE, DUBLIN, OHIO 4 3 0 1 7 DUBLIN PLANNING AND ZONING. 
          COMMISSIONER KIM WE IS A PRINCIPAL AT NBBJ. 
          HE ALSO SERVED AS A MEMBER OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE FOR THE ENVISION DUBLIN COMMUNITY PLAN. 
          AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE ENVISION DUBLIN STEERING COMMITTEE WAS RECOMMENDING MAJOR ZONING AND THOROUGHFARE CHANGES TO DUBLIN'S WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT NBBJ SUBMITTED A PROPOSAL FOR A $900 MILLION PROJECT LOCATED WITHIN THE WID. 
          THIS PROJECT REQUIRES REZONING TO COME TO FRUITION. 
          IT ALSO REQUIRES 
          [01:50:01]
THE WIDENING OF COS GRAY ROAD TO ACCOMMODATE THE SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN TRAFFIC AND DEVELOPMENT. 
          IT WILL CREATE, I KNOW KIM WAY RECUSES HIMSELF FROM ITEMS THAT OBVIOUSLY INVOLVE COS GRAY COMMONS NBBJ, BUT THERE ARE STILL CONFLICTS HE SHOULD BE RECUSING HIMSELF FROM. 
          THERE ARE FIVE POTENTIAL POINTS OF CONFLICT THAT EITHER HAVE OCCURRED OR ARE CONTINUING TO OCCUR. 
          CONFLICT ONE. 
          KIM WAY'S PARTICIPATION AS THE P AND Z REPRESENTATIVE ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE, WHICH INFLUENCED FUTURE LAND USE OF THE COS GREAT COMMONS PARCELS CONFLICT. 
          TWO KIM WAY'S PARTICIPATION AS THE P AND Z REPRESENTATIVE ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE, WHICH INFLUENCED THE DESIGN OF THE MIXED USES CENTER CATEGORY, THE FUTURE LAND USE OF THE COS GRAY COMMONS PARCELS CONFLICT. 
          THREE KIM WAY'S PARTICIPATION IN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION CASE 24 DASH 0 1 9 A DMO AND VISION DUBLIN PLAN WHICH OFFICIALLY CHANGED THE FUTURE LAND USE OF THE COS GRAY COMMONS PARCELS FROM ID TWO TO MIXED USE CENTER AND REZONED ADDITIONAL PARCELS ALONG THE COS. 
          GRAY ROAD THOROUGHFARE TO INDUSTRIAL USES CONFLICT. 
          FOUR KIM WAY'S INFLUENCE IN DESIGNING THE ENVISION DUBLIN THOROUGHFARE PLAN, WHICH IS BASED ON FUTURE LAND USE MODELS AS THE P AND Z REPRESENTATIVE ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE CONFLICT. 
          FIVE KIM WAY CONTINUES TO INFLUENCE ZONING DECISIONS ALONG THE COS GRAY ROAD CORRIDOR TO THE BENEFIT OF NBBJ AND THE COS GRAY COMMONS PROJECT, SUCH AS THE CHANGE OF ZONING FROM RURAL TO ID TWO FOR THE FARMS AT COS GRAY PROPERTY, WHICH ULTIMATELY REDUCES COS GRAY COMMONS PORTION OF THE COST TO WIDEN THE COS GRAY ROAD CORRIDOR. 
          I ALREADY READ THAT ONE. 
          ONE MORE. 
          UM, FROM DEB LANG HALLS, UH, 57 33 TRAFALGAR LANE, DUBLIN, OHIO 4 3 0 1 6 DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          I ATTEND THE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON JUNE 22ND, 2026. 
          DURING THE READING OF ORDINANCE 33 DASH 26. 
          I COULDN'T HELP BUT THINK, CONGRATULATIONS. 
          YOU, YOU HAVE SUCCEEDED IN DEVELOPING A VERY LOVEY SHADE OF ORANGE LIPSTICK AND WHICH TO ADORN YOUR WHI PIG, THE PIG THAT YOUR CONSTITUENTS HAVE REPEATEDLY AND CLEARLY STATED THAT WE DO NOT WANT. 
          LAST YEAR SOMEONE OFFICIAL STATED THAT DUBLIN HAD LOOKED AT SEVERAL OTHER CITIES WHERE INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL ZONING COEXIST. 
          TWO OF THOSE WERE GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA AND NEW ALBANY, OHIO. 
          I LIVED IN GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA FOR 12 YEARS PRIOR TO MOVING TO COLUMBUS. 
          MY PARENTS AND SISTERS STILL LIVE THERE AND IT'S OUR FAVORITE PLACE TO VISIT. 
          THIS IS LARGELY BECAUSE THEY'VE ACCOMPLISHED A MASSIVE REDEVELOPMENT IN THE MAJOR REGIONS. 
          CREATED A DOWNTOWN OASIS THAT ATTRACTS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF VISITORS ANNUALLY, HAVE BEEN THOUGHTFUL IN THEIR PLANNING AND MAINTENANCE WHILE MANAGING TO PRESERVE GREENVILLE'S HISTORIC CHARACTER. 
          MOST IMPORTANTLY, THEY'VE PROTECTED THEIR RESIDENTS QUALITY OF LIFE, REAL ESTATE, INVESTMENTS AND FUTURE. 
          NEW ALBANY IS ANOTHER STORY. 
          I HAVE WORKED AT A MEDICAL FACILITY IN NEW ALBANY FOR NEARLY FIVE YEARS AND STILL CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY ANYONE WOULD WANT TO LIVE THERE. 
          THE PROBLEMS THAT RAPID INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL EXPANSION HAVE BROUGHT TO THE RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES TRULY ASTOUNDING THE INFRASTRUCTURE CANNOT SUPPORT THE INCREASED DEMAND WHICH HAS RESULTED IN FREQUENT POWER OUTAGES, POWER SURGES, UTILITY DISRUPTIONS, CONSTANT TRAFFIC JAMS AND MORE ACCIDENTS THAN I CARE TO COUNT. 
          THE LAST POWER SURGE THAT WAS UNRELATED TO A STORM CAUSED OVER $30,000 IN DAMAGE TO OUR HVAC SYSTEM. 
          I WISH I COULD SAY THAT WAS A FIRST AND I KNOW IT WON'T BE THE LAST. 
          SADLY, DUBLIN IS BEGINNING TO RESEMBLE NEW ALBANY IN TERMS OF TRAFFIC AND INSUFFICIENT INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          WE ALREADY CANNOT EASILY OR SAFELY GET OUT OF BALANCE ON COS GRAY. 
          AND THE 33 2 70 INTERCHANGE IS NEAR CONSTANT DISASTER. 
          I GENERALLY AVOID GOING ANYWHERE IN DUBLIN BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC. 
          MANY AREAS OF DUBLIN UNDER THE CITY'S MANAGEMENT ARE BEGINNING TO LOOK RUN DOWN AND NEGLECTED. 
          I QUESTION THE WISDOM AND ADDING MORE WHEN IT APPEARS TO BE A STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN WHAT ALREADY EXISTS. 
          THE PROPOSED REZONING IS GOING TO MAKE THESE PROBLEMS WORSE. 
          IN ADDITION TO THE MYRIAD OTHER NEGATIVE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN PRESENTED TO COUNCIL, I'M STILL WAITING TO HEAR THE REASON THAT THIS SHOULD PROCEED OTHER THAN IT'S PART OF THE ENVISION DUBLIN PLAN. 
          AS MANY OTHER RESIDENTS HAVE ASKED, WHAT IS DRIVING THIS DOG ON BONE MENTALITY THAT THIS MUST PROCEED NO MATTER WHAT. 
          I URGE YOU NOT TO APPROVE THE REZONING AS THE PEOPLE MOST AFFECTED BY THIS HAVE REQUESTED. 
          VISIT GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA WITH ME AND SEE HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE. 
          AND THOSE WERE THE COMMENTS SUBMITTED TODAY BEFORE 6:59 PM UH, WE DID HAVE A NUMBER OF RESIDENTS SIGN UP TO SPEAK. 
          FIRST WAS KELLY WEBER. 
          VERY GOOD WELCOME. 
          OH, SORRY. 
          OKAY, WE WILL EXTRAPOLATE YOUR PREVIOUS COMMENT AND APPLY 'EM HERE IN OUR THOUGHTS. 
          SO NEXT, DANIEL HAMILL, WELCOME. 
          [01:55:01]
PLEASE COME FORWARD. 
          STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          UH, DAN HAMILL, 5 7 2 5 TRAFALGAR LANE. 
          GOOD EVENING AGAIN, TONIGHT I'D LIKE TO ASK EACH MEMBER OF CITY COUNCIL THAT PLANS TO VOTE YES ON THIS REZONING. 
          UH, TO ANSWER ONE SPECIFIC QUESTION TO CLARIFY YOUR INDIVIDUAL COMMENTS REGARDING THE PLAN FOR THE WID, MANY OF THESE COMMENTS WERE MADE APRIL 7TH, 2025. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER CRAM, YOU STATED BACK AT THAT MEETING WHEN SPEAKING TO RESIDENTS, I REALLY WISH OUR COMMUNICATION DIDN'T GET MIXED UP AND YOU WOULD'VE ALL BEEN HERE THESE LAST 18 MONTHS FOR THESE CONVERSATIONS. 
          MY QUESTION TO YOU IS, HAD RE BEEN INVOLVED AT THE BEGINNING, HOW WOULD THE OUTCOME HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT THAN IT IS TONIGHT? SO IF YOU COULD ANSWER THAT TONIGHT, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER KEELER, YOU STATED, UH, WE'VE ALL HEARD IT AGAIN TONIGHT BY OTHER, UH, MEMBERS OF THE, UH, RESIDENTS HERE. 
          UH, $200 PER EVERY $10,000 IN TAX REVENUE. 
          PROPERTY TAX IS WHAT THE CITY COLLECTS. 
          UH, YOU'RE ABLE TO AFFORD ALL, WE'RE ABLE TO AFFORD ALL THE AMENITIES, NOT BECAUSE OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, BUT OF COMPANIES LIKE WENDY'S AND CARDINAL HEALTH AND COMPANIES LIKE THAT. 
          UH, AND YOU'D ALSO MENTIONED THAT, YOU KNOW, WORK FROM HOME IS A BIG THING. 
          I THINK THAT'S CHANGING OUR COMPANIES IN DUBLIN. 
          WE'VE TOLD EVERYBODY YOU'RE BACK IN THE OFFICE. 
          SO IS OFFICE SPACE A CONSIDERATION AGAIN? BUT MY QUESTION TO YOU IS, IF RESIDENTS, UH, RESIDENTIAL IS A CONCERN DUE TO TAX REVENUE GENERATIONS, WE HAVE NUMEROUS HIGH DENSITY HOUSING AND APARTMENT DEVELOPMENT PLANS ALREADY BEING PROPOSED AROUND BALANCE RATES. 
          SO WHY IS THAT? OKAY. 
          UH, COUNCIL MEMBER LUDO, WITH REGARD TO RESIDENT INVOLVEMENT, YOU STATED THAT IT DOES IMPACT THE DECISIONS WE MAKE AND SOMETIMES IN A BIG AND PROFOUND WAY. 
          UH, YOU WENT ON TO STATE THAT PART OF HOW WE DO THINGS IS TO BALANCE THAT INCOME TAX SO WE CAN HAVE THOSE AMENITIES. 
          BUT IN THIS CASE, WHY ARE YOU CONSIDERING A YES VOTE TONIGHT? UH, HOW DO WE BALANCE WHAT RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR WITH WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED? I DON'T PERSONALLY SEE A GOOD BALANCE HERE. 
          UH, COUNCIL MEMBER DR. LAMB, YOU WEREN'T THERE IN APRIL. 
          SO I'M REFERENCING YOUR COMMENTS IN JUNE 8TH. 
          UH, YOU HAD SAID IN THE MEETING WHEN TALKING ABOUT HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, THAT RESONATES WITH ME BECAUSE I AGREE THAT IF SOMEONE WANTED TO PUT HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS NEAR MY NEIGHBORHOOD, I, OR THAT I LIVED IN, I WOULD BE VERY CONCERNED. 
          SO HOW DOES IT, HOW DOES HAVING HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS NEAR BALANCE RATE, HOW IS THAT? OKAY. 
          UH, VICE MAYOR DEROSA, YOU WEREN'T THERE ON APRIL 7TH, BUT YOU'VE BEEN FOCUSED ON THE INTENT, THE INTENT STATEMENTS, WHICH YOU'VE REPEATED. 
          MY RESPONSE WOULD BE THAT I'M SURE NOBODY HERE IS INTENDING TO HURT ANYBODY. 
          I WAKE UP EVERY MORNING INTENDING NOT TO TICK OFF MY WIFE. 
          SOMETIMES I SCREW THAT UP. 
          NOW, HOW CAN THE CITY, HOW, HOW IS THE CITY NOT GONNA SCREW THIS UP? SO I'D REALLY LIKE TO KNOW THAT. 
          FINALLY, MAYOR AALS GROOMS, YOU STATED THERE ARE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT ARE ANTICIPATING THE USE OF THEIR LAND AND WE WANT TO BE MINDFUL OF EVERYONE. 
          AGAIN, I'VE TOLD YOU SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY WITH YOU. 
          I'VE SPOKEN TO MR. BASS ALREADY, I KNOW HIM PERSONALLY. 
          UH, AND AS RECENTLY THIS MONTH THEY WROTE A LETTER OPPOSING WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO HIS LAND. 
          UH, HE DOES NOT WANT YOU TO VOTE, RUSS. 
          HE, HE WANTS RESIDENTIAL HOUSING THERE. 
          AND MAYOR GROOMS, YOU'VE ALSO STATED, AND YOU SAID IT HERE AGAIN HERE TONIGHT. 
          UH, ONE OF THIS BODY'S GOALS IS TO RUN A MODEL DEMOCRACY IN A MODEL DEMOCRACY MAJORITY RULES. 
          YOU HAVE THREE STAKEHOLDERS, THE CITY, THE RESIDENTS, AND THE PROPERTY OWNERS. 
          TWO OF THEM ARE AGAINST THIS. 
          IN A MODEL DEMOCRACY, YOU SHOULD ALL VOTE NO BECAUSE OF THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NEXT, JENNIFER HAM. 
          WELCOME. 
          PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          HI, JENNIFER HAMILL, 5 7 2 5 TRAFALGAR LANE. 
          THANKS TO MY HUSBAND FOR THE SHOUT OUT. 
          UM, I STOOD BEFORE YOU A LITTLE BIT AGO ASKING FOR AN APOLOGY WHEN IT COMES TO REZONING THESE AREAS. 
          OVERALL I'M GONNA ASK FOR A THANK YOU INSTEAD. 
          AS YOU'VE HEARD OVER AND OVER AGAIN YOUR OWN STUDIES AND THE EXPERTS YOU HIRED, RECOMMENDED NOT PUTTING INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS NEXT TO RESIDENTIAL AREAS, YOUR OWN P AND Z CHAIR. 
          KIM WEI THOUGHT THAT THE LAND EAST OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS SHOULD BE A CONTINUATION OF THE BALANCE TREE CHARACTER RIGHT UP UNTIL JUST BEFORE IN ENVISION DUBLIN WAS ADOPTED. 
          THEN KIM, WE STATED THAT PNZ NEEDED TO FOLLOW THE INTERIM LAND USE PRINCIPLE OF PUTTING INDUSTRIAL NEAR RAILROADS AND HIGHWAYS. 
          WELL THAT STILL BEGS THE QUESTION WHY HERE, THERE'S LAND AVAILABLE IN THE WID NEXT TO HIGHWAYS TO PUT INDUSTRIAL. 
          YOU COULD STILL PUT SOMETHING ELSE HERE. 
          THERE'S OTHER LAND AVAILABLE. 
          UM, IS IT BECAUSE THE AREA THIS OF THE WID IS REALLY HILLIARD IN WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP 
          [02:00:01]
AND NOT TRULY DUBLIN? THERE'S NOWHERE ELSE YOU CAN LOCATE. 
          LOCATE THESE INDUSTRIAL USES. 
          THE DECISION YOU'RE MAKING TONIGHT SEEMS ARBITRARY AND CAPRICIOUS TO ME. 
          AT THE VERY LEAST, PLEASE CONSIDER PUTTING RESIDENTIAL ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE RAILROAD AND ID SIX FOR THEIR PROTECTION ON THE WEST SIDE. 
          UM, I LISTENED TO THE COUNCIL, THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING AND HEARD THE CONCERN IN VICE MAYOR DER'S VOICE WHEN SHE TALKED ABOUT THE ECONOMY AND THE CITY'S OPERATING DEFICIT. 
          BUT WHEN ALL THIS STARTED, GAS WASN'T $4 A GALLON AND THE CITY'S SURPLUS WAS LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. 
          DO YOU REALLY THINK THE ECONOMY WON'T WRITE ITSELF AGAIN? IS DUBLIN REALLY DEPENDENT ON THE RE REZONING OF JUST THESE PARCELS TO GROW ITS INCOME AND SAVE THE CITY FROM RUIN? OR IS THIS JUST THE EASIEST SOLUTION? SO BALANCE AND HOARD ROAD RESIDENTS JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. 
          MANY OF THE RESIDENTS OF BALLANT TREE AND HOARD ROAD BUILT THEIR HOMES. 
          WE DID. 
          WE AGONIZED OVER THESE DECISIONS MAKING SURE WE HAD JUST WHAT WE WANTED FOR OUR DAUGHTER'S SAFETY AND HAPPINESS FOR THEM GROWING UP, FOR US GROWING OLD, FOR FUTURE GRANDKIDS. 
          THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OUR FOREVER HOME. 
          WE SPENT MONEY WE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE AT THE TIME TO CREATE THIS PLACE TO RAISE OUR FAMILY AND SHARE IN OUR PEACE OF THE AMERICAN DREAM. 
          AND WE CHOSE TO DO IT IN A CITY THAT HAD A REPUTATION FOR BEING GREEN SUSTAINABLE AND FOR PUTTING FAMILIES FIRST IN MANY OF ITS DECISIONS. 
          AND YOU ARE ASKING US TO GIVE PART OF THAT DREAM UP FOR THE CITY'S FINANCIAL NEED. 
          THAT IS LITERALLY THE ONLY REASON YOU'VE GIVEN US. 
          IF THAT SOUNDS HYPERBOLIC TO YOU, THINK ABOUT IT THIS WAY. 
          THE FRANKLIN COUNTY COUNTY AUDITOR'S REPRESENTATIVE TOLD YOU THAT DUBLIN HOMES INCREASED IN VALUE BY AN AVERAGE OF 10%. 
          THAT'S TRUE FOR KRAMER'S CROSSING FOR KENDALL RIDGE MEREFIELD. 
          BUT IF YOU LOOK AT BALANCE TRAY HOMES, IT'S CLOSER TO 6%. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT THE HOMES ON TRAFALGAR BARONS MOORE AND NEWTON MOORE WHERE COUNCILWOMAN JOHNSON LIVES THOSE DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO COSWAY ROAD, IT'S CLOSER TO 4%. 
          I DIDN'T LOOK UP THE HOARD ROAD PROPERTIES YET, BUT YOU GET THE IDEA. 
          SO WE ARE GIVING UP PEACE, QUIET, SAFETY, SECURITY, AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SAVE THE CITY OF DUBLIN. 
          I THINK A THANK YOU AND IS IS IN ORDER A THANK YOU AND ABOUT $50,000 EACH. 
          NEXT SANDY MCINTOSH, WELCOME. 
          PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          HELLO AGAIN, SANDY MCINTOSH 5 7 9 2 TRAF FOGGER LANE. 
          YOU'VE HEARD FROM HUNDREDS OF RESIDENTS WHO LIVE NEAR THE AREA TO BE REZONED OVER THE PAST 14 MONTHS WHO HAVE CONSISTENTLY TOLD YOU INDUSTRIAL IN ANY FORM DOES NOT BELONG NEXT TO RESIDENTIAL AREAS. 
          YOUR OWN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STUDY TOLD YOU THE SAME THING IN 2023. 
          SO THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN NO SURPRISE IN RESPONSE TO A PROPOSED MEYER STORE BEING BUILT ON HIGHLAND CRO ROAD, THE CITY MANAGER ISSUED A STATEMENT JUST THIS YEAR STATING THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE NON-RESIDENTIAL LAND USE NEXT TO RESIDENTIAL AREAS IS OFFICES. 
          YET HERE WE ARE. 
          I KNOW THE CITY HAS VESTED A GREAT DEAL OF TIME IN WORKING TO CHANGE WHAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A RURAL RESIDENTIAL LAND TO INDUSTRIAL. 
          BUT GREAT LEADERS RECOGNIZE THE WILLINGNESS TO PIVOT WHEN PRESENTED WITH NEW INFORMATION. 
          LIKE 14 MONTHS OF SUSTAINED RESIDENT CONCERN IS A HALLMARK OF STRONG LEADERSHIP AND NOT WEAKNESS AS WINSTON CHURCHILL SAID. 
          TO IMPROVE IS TO CHANGE, TO BE PERFECT IS TO CHANGE. 
          OFTEN YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE TONIGHT TO CHANGE. 
          PLEASE VOTE NO ON THE REZONING. 
          AT A MINIMUM YOU SHOULD VOTE NO ON REZONING THE PARCELS WEST OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS TO ID TWO AND ID THREE. 
          THE CITY HAS CONSISTENTLY STATED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS THAT IT WAS FOCUSING ON ID SIX EAST OF THE TRACKS IN THE SHORT TERM, BUT WOULD REVISIT THE REZONING OF THE PARCELS WEST OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS OTHER THAN REMOVING DATA CENTERS, WHICH IS A POLITICALLY EXPEDIENT AND EASY DECISION. 
          EXACTLY ZERO CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE CODE LANGUAGE TO ID TWO AND ID THREE. 
          ALL OF THE CONCERNS THAT CONVINCED YOU TO CHANGE THE PLANS FOR PARCELS EAST OF THE TRACKS APPLY EQUALLY OR WITH MORE FORCE TO THE PARCELS WEST OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS. 
          THIS LAND IS ONLY 0.3 MILES FROM MY HOUSE. 
          IT'S ONLY 0.1 MILES FROM OTHER RESIDENCES IN BALLANT TREE WILL THE SMOKE AND OTHER HAZARDOUS EMISSIONS COMING OUT OF THE SMOKE STACKS AND THE 68 FOOT TALL FACTORIES THAT ARE GOING TO BE BUILT WEST OF THE TRACKS KNOW TO STOP AT THE RAILROAD TRACKS. 
          THE NOISE WILL IT KNOW TO STOP AT THE RAILROAD TRACKS. 
          THE RESIDENCES ON HOO ROAD WILL BE EVEN CLOSER TO THE NEW INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT THAN BALANCE TRAY BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE COS GRAY ROAD IN BETWEEN OR THE ADDITIONAL SETBACKS 
          [02:05:01]
AND LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO ID SIX ALONG COS GRAY ROAD. 
          MOREOVER, AS YOU'VE HEARD OTHERS SAY TONIGHT, THEY ARE NOT ON CITY WATER AND THEY HAVE REAL CONCERNS ABOUT GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED, LET ALONE ADDRESSED. 
          THE CITY HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS ANY OF THE CONCERNS THAT PROMPTED CHANGE EAST OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS WHEN IT COMES TO THE PARCELS WEST OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS. 
          THIS IS DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE ENTITY RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING FIRE AND EMS SERVICES TO THIS AREA, WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP HAS INDICATED TO YOU IN WRITING THAT THEY SUPPORT ID SIX ZONING FOR THE PARCELS WEST OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS, PARTICULARLY THOSE ABUTTING RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES. 
          AGAIN, FOR ALL OF THESE REASONS I'M ASKING YOU TO VOTE NO ON THIS HAZARDOUS REZONING. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU LINDSAY. 
          NEXT, AMY SWANK. 
          WELCOME. 
          PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          AMY SWANK, 5 9 4 5 VAND LER PLACE. 
          THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ADDRESSING THE REZONING SPECIFICALLY TONIGHT. 
          I SIMPLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RECORD REFLECTS THAT YOU ALL HAVE THIS INFORMATION. 
          UH, BEFORE YOU VOTE, I HAVE EIGHT, EIGHT FACTS. 
          ONE, YOU HAVE SAID REPEATEDLY THAT YOU DON'T WANT SMOKE SEX, YET ID THREE WOULD PERMIT THEM IN DUBLIN AND DIRECTLY NEXT TO DARI FIELDS. 
          TWO. 
          ON JUNE 7TH, 2026, THE WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES REQUESTED YOU REZONE THE PARCELS WEST OF THE RAILROAD TO ID SIX TO PROTECT RESIDENTS. 
          THAT REQUEST WAS NOT MENTIONED IN ANY WAY IN TONIGHT'S COUNCIL PACKET. 
          TO BE CLEAR, YOU ARE BEING ASKED TO APPROVE THIS REQUEST OVER THE REQUEST OF YOUR FIRE DEPARTMENT AND YOUR CITY MANAGER DIDN'T EVEN EXPLAIN WHY THAT IS. 
          THREE. 
          ON FEBRUARY 1ST, 2024, MEGAN O. CALLAHAN SIGNED AN NDA WITH ACTIVE INFRASTRUCTURE REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A DATA CENTER ON ONE OF THE PARCELS SUBJECT TO TONIGHT'S REZONING. 
          AT NO POINT PRIOR TO HER SIGNING THAT AGREEMENT OR ANY PROPERTIES SOUTH OF SHIRE RINGS ROAD CONSIDERED FOR INDUSTRIAL USE, THE DISCUSSIONS AROUND THE ENVISION DUBLIN PLAN CHANGED AT THAT EXACT MOMENT IN THE PROVERBIAL 11TH HOUR OF THE CONSIDERATION OF THAT PLAN TO ACCOMMODATE THAT REQUEST IN HER NDA FOUR. 
          THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN DOES NOT EXTEND THE WIDTH BEYOND SHIRE RINGS AND IT EXPRESSLY STATES THAT OFFICE IS THE ONLY TYPE OF PROPERTY CLASSIFICATION THAT SHOULD BE SITUATED NEAR RESIDENTIAL AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL IS TYPICALLY LOCATED AWAY FROM RESIDENTIAL USES END. 
          IF YOU APPROVE ORDINANCE OH 6 25, YOU ARE APPROVING IT AGAINST YOUR OWN CONSULTANTS AND AGAINST THE OWN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT MOST OF YOU APPROVED. 
          FIVE. 
          IN FEBRUARY OF 2026, MEGAN O' CALLAHAN WROTE IN OPPOSITION TO A PROPOSED GROCERY STORE THAT THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE LAND USES NEXT TO RESIDENTIAL WERE, AND I QUOTE CLEARLY DEFINE TRANSITIONAL USES SUCH AS OFFICE MEDICAL OR LOW INTENSITY COMMERCIAL END QUOTE, THE CITY MANAGER FAILED TO DOCUMENT ANY REASON WHY THE HOMES ALONG COS GRAY SHOULD BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY. 
          SIX CITY STAFF ESTIMATES OF THE TAX REVENUE INCREASE THAT WILL RESULT FROM REZONING THESE PARCELS IN NEGLIGIBLE TO THE POINT OF BEING ALMOST NON-EXISTENT. 
          TO BE CLEAR, CITY STAFF HAS GIVEN YOU NO EVIDENCE, UM, THIS WILL EVEN FIT THE CITY ECONOMICALLY AND TONIGHT'S PACKET DOESN'T SUPPORT THAT. 
          ORDINANCE OH 6 25 HAS SERIOUS PROCEDURAL INLAWS, INCLUDING THE FAILURE TO SEND NOTICES MS. EISENHOWER EXPRESSLY ADMITTED IN WRITING TO THE NOTICE FAILURES IN MAY OF 20 25 8 ON MAY 21ST, MEGAN O. CALLAHAN WROTE THE AREAS WEST OF THE RAILROAD WILL BE REVISITED AND ACCOMPANIED A PICTURE OF THOSE PARCELS LABELED NOT INCLUDED IN THE REZONING. 
          FIVE WEEKS LATER SHE'S RECOMMENDING SOMETHING ELSE. 
          PLEASE KNOW THAT IF YOU VOTE TO APPROVE ORDINANCE OH 6 25 TONIGHT, YOU ARE VOTING WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THIS INFORMATION. 
          THE OHIO CONSTITUTION REQUIRES THAT REZONING LEGISLATION CANNOT BE ARBITRARY OR CAPRICIOUS IN A MUST HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL RATIONAL CONNECTION TO QUOTE, PROMOTING PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, MORALS AND GENERAL WELFARE. 
          BASED ON THOSE EIGHT STATEMENTS, THE RECORD DOESN'T ESTABLISH THAT YOU'VE MET THAT REQUIREMENT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NO ONE, NO ONE ELSE HAS SIGNED IN. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          ARE THERE OTHERS? ANYONE ELSE CARE TO SPEAK THIS EVENING THAT DID NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SIGN IN? I'M GONNA HIT THE BUTTON THIS TIME. 
          MATTHEW LANG 
          [02:10:01]
HOUSE 5 7 3 3 TRAFALGAR LANE, ALSO SUPREME COURT NUMBER 0 0 8 6 1 2 7. 
          WE'RE THE LAWYERS IN THE ROOM? OH, YEP. 
          YEP. 
          UH, Y'ALL ARE SITTING ON A POWDER KEG RIGHT NOW. 
          UM, YOU CAN TALK TO YOUR COUNSEL ABOUT IT, BUT WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THIS KIM WAY GUY, WHICH I HAD NO, I I DON'T KNOW WHO KIM WAY IS, BUT IF HE'S A GUY WHO WAS SITTING ON YOUR STEERING COMMITTEE FOR ZONING OR REZONING OR HAD SOME SORT, SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE, UH, ENVISION DUBLIN PLAN AND HE WORKS FOR SOME PLACE THAT HAD A $900 MILLION BID IN THE WID, LIKE I SAID, Y'ALL NEED TO LOOK INTO THAT SERIOUSLY 'CAUSE THAT'S A HUGE CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND ANY LAWYER IN THE ROOM KNOWS HOW MUCH YOUR MALPRACTICE INSURANCE WOULD GO UP IF YOU INVOLVED YOURSELF IN THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW THE TRUTH BEHIND IT OR NOT, COULDN'T TELL YOU, BUT WHAT I WILL TELL YOU IS THAT IF YOU DON'T GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THAT, YOU'VE GOT A BUNCH OF PEOPLE IN HERE THAT YOU'VE PROBABLY TICKED OFF ENOUGH THAT THEY'LL DIG INTO IT. 
          AND IF THAT WERE TO COME OUT AND YOU GUYS DIDN'T DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE, HEADS WOULD ROLL PROFESSIONALLY. 
          SPEAKING OF COURSE, BUT YOU KNOW WHERE I'M GOING WITH THIS. 
          IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S A CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND IT WAS FOUND OUT THAT HEY DUBLIN HAD SOMEBODY SITTING ON A STEERING COMMITTEE THAT HELPED, I DON'T KNOW, PAVE THE WAY FOR THIS INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX AND THEY HAD A BID IN ON IT, THAT'S THE KIND OF STUFF YOU HEAR ON CNN AND FOX NEWS AND M-S-N-B-C AND ALL THOSE TYPES OF THINGS THAT PEAKED MY, UH, EARS UP AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO 'CAUSE I'M A LAWYER AND I'M ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE THINGS THAT DON'T QUITE SEEM RIGHT AND THAT DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT. 
          IT DOESN'T WHAT WE USED TO SAY CALL PASS THE SMELL TEST. 
          SO PLEASE LOOK INTO THAT AND PLEASE GIVE US AN ANSWER THAT'S NOT WORD VOMIT THE NEXT TIME WE'RE HERE SO THAT WE KNOW THAT YOU LOOKED INTO IT AND GOT TO THE BOTTOM OF IT. 
          THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING YOU TO DO. 
          SO I'M NOT MAKING A STATEMENT HERE, GRANDSTANDING. 
          I AM ASKING YOU TO LOOK INTO IT SO THAT Y'ALL DON'T GET SUED AND COST US OUR TAX MONEY IN DUBLIN TO TRY AND DEFEND THAT LAWSUIT. 
          AM I MAKING SENSE? AM I MAKING SENSE? HOW ABOUT SOME NODS OR SOME ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT YOU'RE HEARING WHAT I'M SAYING INSTEAD OF STARING AT ME BLANKLY AND I GET NOTHING. 
          DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING? THANK YOU. 
          HOW ABOUT YOU? NO NOD. 
          HOW ABOUT YOU? REALLY, I'M TRYING TO MAKE A POINT HERE THAT YOU'RE SITTING ON SOMETHING THAT COULD BE SERIOUS. 
          THIS PUBLIC COMMENT PORTION IS FOR US TO LISTEN AND OBSERVE THIS INFORMATION AND THEN WE WILL RESPOND, UM, AS THINGS ARE APPROPRIATE. 
          SO THIS IS NOT AN INTERACTIVE TIME, THIS IS A TIME FOR US TO TAKE A CHANCE TO LISTEN AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING AND I'D ALWAYS KIND OF HOPED THAT GOVERNMENT WOULD BE INTERACTIVE AND THAT WE'D HAVE A DISCUSSION. 
          JUST LOOK INTO IT. 
          THAT'S ALL I CAN ASK. 
          THANK YOU. 
          WELCOME. 
          PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          UH, TIM MYERS. 
          I STILL LIVE AT 58 45 GLEN DAVIDON COURT. 
          UH, HE'S A TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW. 
          I GUESS WHAT I WANT TO SAY IS WE NEVER REALLY HAD A CHANCE TO TALK ABOUT THE CODE LANGUAGE IN ID TWO AND ID THREE. 
          WE KIND OF KNEW THE BAIT AND SWITCH WAS COMING WHEN WE SAID WE'LL TALK ABOUT ID SIX, BUT WE'RE GONNA TABLE ID TWO AND ID THREE TILL LATER. 
          WE ALL KNEW WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN. 
          SATISFY AND APPEASE THE BALANCE RATE RESIDENTS WITH ID SIX AND THEN WE'RE GONNA SLIP A MICKEY TO THE POOR FOLKS ON CHAR ROAD. 
          WHY DON'T WE HAVE A CHANCE TO GO BACK AND REVISIT ID TWO AND ID THREE ZONE LANGUAGE I JUST HEARD FROM SOMEONE, IT'S A STANDARD TO BE REVIEWED. 
          ISN'T THIS A GOOD TIME TO REVIEW THE STANDARDS AND THE CODE IN ID TWO AND ID THREE? YOU JUST APPROVED A FAIRLY DECENT ID SIX CODE, BUT NOW ID TWO AND ID THREE. 
          IT'S OKAY FOR TOXIC CHEMICALS TO BE THERE WITHOUT ANY CONTROLS, ANY OVERSIGHT. 
          THIS IS GONNA BE THE WILD WEST OR ARE WE SUPPOSED TO RELY ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW TEAM? ID TWO AND ID THREE STATE CLEAN MANUFACTURING. 
          BUT IT'S NOT DEFINED. 
          YOU SAY YOU WANNA PROTECT THE RESIDENTS, BUT THE CODE AND ID TWO AND ID THREE IS SUBSTANDARD. 
          ID SIX SET THE BAR. 
          THE POINT OF A STANDARD IS FROM WHICH SOMETHING CAN BE IMPROVED, ID TWO AND ID THREE SHOULD BE IMPROVED TO THE ID SIX LEVEL. 
          THIS IS NOT THAT DIFFICULT. 
          [02:15:01]
AND IF YOU DON'T CARE, JUST TELL US. 
          YOU DON'T CARE. 
          YOU WANT THE MONEY AND THAT'S IT. 
          WE ALREADY FEEL LIKE DAVID FIGHTING GOLIATH AND IT'S REALLY HARD TO SEE THAT ANYBODY REALLY CARES. 
          YOU GUYS HAVE CONSISTENTLY IGNORED ANYBODY THAT LIVES ON CHAR ROAD. 
          IT'S SHAMEFUL. 
          YOU PRETEND LIKE THEY DON'T EVEN EXIST. 
          YOU SNUB YOUR NOSE AT 'EM, THEY DON'T GET AN ANSWER, THEY DON'T GET A MEETING, THEY DON'T GET A TIME. 
          ARE YOU REALLY THAT MUCH BETTER THAN THE PEOPLE ON CHAR ROAD? YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME. 
          I IMAGINE SOME OF YOU GUYS GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GO THERE FOR A REASON OR YOU GO THERE TO BE SEEN. 
          WHY CAN'T YOU CONSIDER THOSE PEOPLE AS HUMAN BEINGS? JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T VOTE, THEY DON'T COUNT. 
          THAT'S SHAMEFUL. 
          WHEN YOU GO HOME TONIGHT AND YOU VOTE YES ON ID TWO AND 93, I CAN TELL YOUR SPOUSE AND YOUR KIDS, I SCREWED THE POOCH. 
          I SCREWED THOSE FOLKS ON HOOT ROAD AND I'M PROUD OF MYSELF. 
          HAVE A LITTLE HUMAN DECENCY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. 
          AREN'T YOU GUYS BETTER THAN THAT? ELECTED OFFICIALS. 
          YOU GUYS NEED TO DO SOME SOUL SEARCHING THAT ID TWO AND ID THREE NEEDS TO GO BACK. 
          WE NEED TO HAVE A CHANCE TO REVIEW IT. 
          THAT'S THE LEAST YOU CAN DO, DO YOUR JOB. 
          ANYONE ELSE? OH, PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          MY NAME IS TARA ROWE AND I LIVE AT 5 7 4 9 TRAFALGAR LANE. 
          I'VE SPOKEN MANY TIMES THIS PAST 14 MONTHS, BUT WANTED TO REMIND YOU HOW WE GOT HERE. 
          I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT OF BALANCE TRAY FOR 22 YEARS AND I'VE MOVED THREE TIMES WITHIN BALANCE TRAY INVESTING MORE AND MORE. 
          WITH EACH MOVE MY CURRENT HOUSE WILL FACE WHATEVER'S BUILT ON THIS PARCEL. 
          AT ONE POINT A 55 PLUS COMMUNITY WAS MOVING FORWARD ON A FEW OF THESE PARCELS. 
          THEN SUDDENLY PLANNING AND ZONING STOPPED IT BECAUSE IT WAS SAID THAT THERE WERE NO MORE RESIDENTIAL NEAR RAILROAD TRACKS. 
          HEARING TONIGHT, WHAT WAS SUBMITTED ABOUT KIM WAY'S CONFLICTS? I'M NOW MORE CONCERNED. 
          I ATTENDED SEVERAL EARLY ENVISION DUBLIN COMMUNITY PLANNING MEETINGS. 
          APPARENTLY NOT THE RIGHT ONES AND SPORTS FIELDS WERE OF HIGH INTEREST. 
          NEXT THING I KNOW, I WAS NOTIFIED OF A POTENTIAL REZONING BY A ROLLED UP PIECE OF PAPER AT MY MAILBOX, NOT A POSTCARD FROM THE CITY. 
          AS REQUIRED AND ENVISIONED DUBLIN PLAN PROCEEDED AND THERE WAS NO WILLINGNESS TO TALK ABOUT RURAL. 
          RURAL IS WHAT WE WHAT IT IS CURRENTLY AND WHAT WAS PLANNED. 
          THE ENTIRETY OF TIME WHILE BALANCE TREE WAS BEING BUILT. 
          IT'S WHAT WE ALWAYS EXPECTED. 
          AS WE BUILT AND INVESTED IN DUBLIN, OUR COMMUNITY HAS INVESTED A LOT OF TIME AND EXPERTISE TO TRY AND PROTECT OURSELVES IN THE CODE. 
          SINCE THAT'S ALL THE CITY WAS WILLING TO TALK ABOUT, ID SIX IS STILL TOO CLOSE TO OUR FAMILIES. 
          REZONING HIDDEN WITHIN A COMMUNITY PLAN SEEMS SHADY AT BEST, ESPECIALLY NOT WHEN NOT COMMUNICATED AS REQUIRED TO NEARBY RESIDENTS. 
          I ASK THAT YOU VOTE NO ON REZONING THIS AREA TO INDUSTRIAL. 
          WE ARE DOUBLE IN RESIDENCE TOO. 
          YOU WOULD FIGHT LIKE HELL IF THIS WAS YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          WE DO NOT WANT INDUSTRIAL AS OUR NEIGHBOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANYONE ELSE? OH. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          I UP. 
          I MUST SCREWED UP. 
          IT'S ALRIGHT. 
          WE'LL STILL HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS. 
          PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          UH, IT'S RICHARD WEEKS, UH, 5 8 2 6 HOCHI ROAD. 
          THAT'S ENOUGH. 
          UM, I'VE LISTENED TO ALL OF THE COMMENTS FOR TONIGHT AND, UH, THERE WAS A LOT OF THEM THAT WERE PASSIONATE AND IMPORTANT, BUT I FEEL LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE HERE THAT, YOU KNOW, FOLKS ON HOCHER ROAD ARE LIKE IMMIGRANTS AND ALL THEY WANNA DO IS GET 'EM MOVED OUT. 
          SO YOU'RE MAKING IT HARD AS IT, YOU'RE MAKING IT AS HARD AS IT CAN BE FOR PEOPLE TO SIT THERE AND LOOK AND GO, DO I REALLY WANNA LIVE HERE ANYMORE? IF THEY'RE GONNA PUT ALL THIS INDUSTRIAL STUFF AROUND ME? IT'S REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE TO BE IN THAT POSITION AND EVEN KNOWING THAT SEVERAL OF OUR PEOPLE ARE GONNA LOSE THEIR HOMES. 
          UH, WHEN YOU START BUILDING AN OVERPASS FOR THE RAILROAD OVER THE RAILROAD, UH, IT'S A PRETTY UNCOMFORTABLE THING THING FOR THESE PEOPLE TO SIT HERE AND SEE ALL THIS GO, UH, OCCUR. 
          AND YOU TALK ABOUT SAFETY, UH, YOU TALK ABOUT CONSIDERATION OF, UH, OF THE PEOPLE IN ENTRE BECAUSE, WELL, THEY'RE CONSTITUENTS. 
          YOU GOTTA TAKE CARE OF THEM, BUT YOU DON'T CARE OR CONCERNED ABOUT THE PEOPLE ON HOCHER ROAD WHO HAVE BEEN THERE SOMETIME, MANY OF THEM LONGER THAN ANYBODY HAS BEEN IN BALLOT TREE. 
          SO IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO STAND HERE AND LOOK AT ALL OF YOU, LISTEN TO 
          [02:20:01]
WHAT WE'RE SAYING, AND WE FEEL LIKE IT GOES IN ONE EAR, NOT THE OTHER. 
          I REALLY FEEL STRONGLY THAT YOU COULD CONSIDER AND YOU HAVE THE POWER, AS I SAID ONCE BEFORE, YOU HAVE THE POWER TO DO THE RIGHT THING. 
          AND THAT IS TO AT LEAST CONSIDER ID SIX FOR BOTH SIDES OF THE TRACK. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANYONE ELSE? OKAY, UH, WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE COUNCIL QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSIONS. 
          AND I STARTED THAT WAY THE LAST TIME. 
          I'LL START THIS WAY THIS TIME. 
          GREAT, THANK YOU. 
          UM, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR CANDOR AND FOR YOUR COMMENTS. 
          UM, WE HEAR THEM. 
          I AM NODDING. 
          WE HEAR THEM. 
          WE ARE ACKNOWLEDGING YOUR COMMENTS. 
          WE ARE RESPONDING. 
          UM, THIS PROCESS OF DEVELOPING THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT HAS BEEN GOING ON. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT STARTED, JENNY. 
          I CERTAINLY LONGER, THIS IS YEAR NINE FOR ME ON COUNCIL, SO I DON'T KNOW. 
          BUT A COUPLE DECADES AND DURING THAT PROCESS, MANY, MANY DIFFERENT PLANS, UM, WE'RE DEVELOPED. 
          WE DON'T HAVE THAT PARTICULAR CHART. 
          WELL, THAT SHOWS ALL THE DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT. 
          UM, UM, PLANS. 
          DISCUSSIONS. 
          I I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU HAVE THAT JENNY, BUT YOU ALL KNOW AS COUNCIL MEMBERS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT HERE AND WE'RE BROUGHT TOGETHER IN CONSIDERATION AND INCLUDING IN THAT OF COURSE, ARE THE SUSTAINABILITY PLANS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT AND OTHER THINGS AS WELL. 
          UM, THE, UM, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE ENVISION DUBLIN PLAN, PUT ALL OF THOSE TOGETHER. 
          DID A LOT OF WORK, DID A LOT OF DATA ANALYSIS, AS MANY OF YOU ALLUDED TO TONIGHT. 
          AND THERE HAS BEEN AN ONGOING AND CONSTANT CONSIDERATION FOR, UM, WHAT COULD HAPPEN HERE. 
          IT IS CALLED THE INNOVATION DISTRICT, AND THAT IS THE INTENT OF THIS IS IN, IS IN FACT TO MAKE IT THAT. 
          UM, I APPRECIATE TONIGHT, JENNY, YOUR CHART WHERE YOU, WHERE YOU SHOWED US THE WEST INNOVATION INTEGRATED IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY OR WITS AS IT IS AFFECTIONATELY REFERRED TO. 
          UM, IF YOU WOULD PULL THAT UP FOR A MOMENT, PLEASE, MAYBE, MAYBE NOT. 
          THAT'S OKAY. 
          FINE. 
          UM, THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST RECENT WORK ON THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT. 
          THIS IS TO PLAN TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE, TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE SEWER AND WATER TO MAKE SURE A LOT OF THE CONCERNS IN THE DISCUSSIONS THAT, THAT I KNOW THAT MANY OF YOU ARTICULATED TONIGHT AND AT PREVIOUS TIMES ARE CONSIDERED AND IT IS WELL THOUGHT OUT AND WELL PUT FORWARD. 
          SO, UM, I I JUST WANNA SAY I'M APPRECIATIVE OF THAT WORK AND I WOULD SAY I THINK WE ALL RECOGNIZE THIS IS AN ONGOING CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PROCESS AS WE HAVE DISCUSSED BEFORE. 
          AND JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE CITY OF DUBLIN, WE LEARN SOMETHING. 
          WE GROW FROM THAT. 
          WE DO SOMETHING, WE MOVE FORWARD. 
          SO, UM, WITH ALL THE CONSIDERATION IN THE WORK AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT HAS BEEN PUT IN FORTH, I, I'M SUPPORTIVE OF MOVING FORWARD WITH THE REZONING THIS EVENING. 
          I WILL SAY THIS, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT, AND THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT FORWARD THAT, YOU KNOW, WE ARE A CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT CITY. 
          UM, I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE AWARE THAT A COUPLE WEEKS AGO WE BEGAN SOME WORK ON LOOKING AT OUR CURRENT ZONING CODE 1 52, 1 53 SIMILAR CODE, UM, AND ASKING OURSELVES WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO UPDATE THAT? UM, IS IT, IS IT AS CURRENT AS IT NEEDS TO BE? AGAIN, WE'VE BROUGHT IN EXPERTS TO HELP US DO THAT WORK AND IT MAKES SENSE TO ME THAT CERTAINLY THE ID TWO AND ID THREE SHOULD BE PART OF THAT PROCESS. 
          WHEREVER IT FITS IN THAT PROCESS. 
          ID SIX. 
          WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK WITH THAT. 
          YEAH, WE'RE THERE. 
          BUT THAT MAKES GOOD SENSE AND I DON'T THINK ANY OF YOU SHOULD FEEL THAT THAT'S NEVER GONNA BE LOOKED AT THAT WE'RE NOT GONNA CONSIDER THAT WE'RE NOT LEARNING FROM THINGS THAT WE'VE, WE'VE BROUGHT FORWARD HERE. 
          AND SO IT MAKES GOOD SENSE AS WE BEGIN THAT PROCESS THAT, THAT THAT DISCUSSIONS HAPPEN AS PART OF THAT. 
          AND, AND IF WE NEED TO MAKE UPDATES AND, AND WE NEED TO INCORPORATE THINGS, WE'VE LEARNED, WE CAN DO THAT. 
          AGAIN, THAT'S THE WAY THE WORK OF THIS CITY WORKS. 
          AND SO EVEN THOUGH WE MOVE FORWARD, THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE STOP. 
          AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE DON'T CONSIDER THINGS THAT NEED TO BE LOOKED AT AND IT DOESN'T THINK THAT, THAT WE MAKE IMPROVEMENTS. 
          SO, UM, SUPPORTIVE OF MOVING FORWARD AND SUPPORTING OF CONTINUOUS, UM, REVIEW AND INNOVATION. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          SO I AGREE WITH THE VICE MAYOR. 
          UM, I, I'M IN FAVOR OF REZONING. 
          [02:25:01]
UM, HOWEVER, THAT BEING SAID, I DO BELIEVE THAT ATTENTION, ADDITIONAL ATTENTION CAN AND PROBABLY SHOULD BE GIVEN TO ID TWO AND ID THREE. 
          ONE ISSUE THAT ALL THE RESIDENTS NEED TO BE AWARE OF IS THAT THERE ARE, UM, PROPERTY OWNERS' INTENTIONS. 
          AND IF I OWN A A PIECE OF FARMLAND AND I WISH TO SELL IT, I WANT TO HAVE AS MANY OPTIONS AS I CAN IN MY QUIVER. 
          UM, AND SO THAT I, I'M NOT SAYING THAT IS THE ISSUE, BUT THAT THAT IS, THAT CAN BE A LEGAL ISSUE. 
          UM, SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP THAT IN MIND. 
          AGAIN, AS I SAID EARLIER, AS MUCH AS I'D LIKE TO SAY TRUST US AND HAVE FAITH IN US, UM, WE'RE, WE'RE DOUBLING AND WE'RE RESIDENTS HERE AND EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS OUT THERE IS A REFLECTION ON ALL SEVEN OF US AND OUR STAFF. 
          WE TAKE PRIDE IN WHAT THE CITY OF DUBLIN LOOKS FROM ONE BOUNDARY TO THE OTHER. 
          UM, BUT THAT BEING SAID THERE, THE WE WANNA WIDEN COS GRAY ROAD, HOW ARE WE GONNA PAY FOR THAT? ONE OF THE EARLIER SPEAKERS MENTIONED THAT I SAID THAT FOR $10,000 IN PROPERTY TAXES, WE GET $200, IT'S ACTUALLY $300, BUT THAT DOESN'T PAY FOR THE CHIPPER SERVICE. 
          SO HOW ARE WE GOING TO PAY FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE NEED FOR TRAFFIC COMING FROM HILLIARD TO GET CO TO COSTCO? THAT IS A REAL THING THAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. 
          AND IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN BY LEAVING IT EMPTY FARMLAND. 
          IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN BY ADDING HOUSES. 
          IT'S GONNA HAPPEN BY HELPING US DO WHAT WE WANT TO DO HERE. 
          BUT ID TWO AND ID THREE, I I AGREE WITH THE, THE VICE MAYOR THAT WE HAVE TIME MAYBE SHARPEN THE PENCIL A BIT. 
          UM, BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT, YOU HAVE FOLKS THAT OWN THOSE PROPERTIES THAT WANT TO MAKE THEM AS MARKETABLE AS PRO AS POSSIBLE. 
          THANKS. 
          UM, ACTUALLY I AGREE WITH, UM, MY COLLEAGUE STATEMENTS. 
          YOU KNOW, WHEN I TAKE A LOOK AT THE CRITERION FOR WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, PROTECTS LONG-TERM COMPETITIVENESS, THIS DOES THAT, UM, WILL THIS MAKE DUBLIN OVERALL BETTER IN THE NEXT 10 TO 20 YEARS? AND I THINK, YEAH, I MEAN THE POINT THAT THE VICE MAYOR BROUGHT UP ABOUT INFRASTRUCTURE, IT MEETS THAT AS WELL TOO. 
          UM, BUT ACTUALLY IN LISTENING TO THE COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE TODAY, I DID CHANGE MY MIND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THINGS AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER KEER WAS TALKING ABOUT, ABOUT MAYBE REVISITING, UH, AND LOOKING AT THE ID TWO AND THE ID THREE CODE AND I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF THAT. 
          UM, BUT IN GENERAL, ACTUALLY, I DO LIKE THE REZONING, UH, AND I'M IN FAVOR OF THAT. 
          BUT I DO THINK THAT WE CAN DO SOME THINGS PERHAPS TO, UM, ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERNS, UH, FOR ID TWO AND ID THREE IN THAT AREA. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO A YEAR AGO WE SAT HERE AND YOU ASKED US TO LOOK AT THE CODE AND PUT THINGS ON PAUSE AND WAIT UNTIL WE DID THE WEST INNOVATION IMPLEMENTATION STUDY, THE WITTIS, UM, AND THE ADDITIONAL WORK. 
          AND, AND WE'VE DONE THAT WORK AND, AND I THINK IT'S GIVEN US SOME CLARITY. 
          AND I BELIEVE THE ID SIX CODE THAT WE JUST PASSED IS A GREAT TRANSITION PIECE TO THE ROB TRACKS. 
          I AM SUPPORTIVE OF GOING FROM TRANSITION TO INDUSTRIAL AS PLANNED IN THE COMMUNITY PLAN. 
          UM, WE'RE, I WAS ASKED WOULD IT MADE A DIFFERENCE 18 MONTHS AGO, WHICH NOW WE'RE ABOUT TWO, TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO, AND WOULD IT MOST LIKELY, I WOULD SAY MAYBE BECAUSE YES, BECAUSE ALL INFORMATION IS USED IN MAKING DECISIONS AND THE MORE INFORMATION YOU HAVE, THE BETTER DECISIONS YOU CAN MAKE. 
          UM, BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TWO YEARS AGO. 
          UH, AND WE WENT THROUGH THE ENVISION DOUBLING PLAN AND WE DECIDED THIS WAS WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO AND HOUSING WASN'T GOING TO BE SOMETHING WE WANTED HERE. 
          AND I THINK IT'S ONLY FAIR THAT SINCE WE AGREED WE WENT, THE COMMUNITY AGREED WE WEREN'T GONNA PUT HOUSING THERE. 
          WE'VE BEEN MOVING FORWARD AS A COUNCIL THAT WE WEREN'T GONNA PUT HOUSING THERE AND TO NOT REZONE NOW AND GIVE PEOPLE HOPE OR THE INTENTION THAT WE'RE GOING TO SOMEHOW CHANGE OUR MIND AND PUT RESIDENTIAL THERE, I DON'T THINK IS FAIR. 
          SO I AM SUPPORTIVE OF MOVING FORWARD WITH THE PLAN AND I'M EXTREMELY SUPPORTIVE OF GOING AS WE MOVE ALONG TO LOOK AT ID TWO AND ID THREE, WE HAVE EXISTING PARCELS, THE PARCELS ALL TO THE NORTH OF, 
          [02:30:01]
OF . 
          ALL THOSE ARE ALREADY ID THREE. 
          WE THE, THOSE USES ALREADY EXIST. 
          UM, SO I DON'T SEE ANY HARM IN OTING THESE TO A, UM, SOMETHING THAT ALREADY EXISTS. 
          AND THEN IN THE MEANTIME, 'CAUSE AS YOU SAW IN THE WITTIS THING, THIS IS THE LAST AREA TO PROBABLY BE DEVELOPED. 
          UM, IN THE MEANTIME, LET'S LOOK AT THE CODE. 
          LET'S GO BACK, LET'S SEE IF, SEE WHAT WE CAN DO. 
          UM, WE CAN TAKE, WE JUST TOOK A YEAR TO LOOK AT THE ID SIX, YOU KNOW, WE CAN TAKE THE NEXT YEAR TO LOOK AT THE ID TWO AND THREE. 
          UM, BUT I AM SUPPORTIVE OF MOVING FORWARD NOW WITH THE PROPOSED REZONING. 
          THANKS. 
          I HAD A STATEMENT PREPARED AND I'M NOT GONNA READ IT. 
          UM, PERHAPS MY PERSPECTIVE IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF MY ADJACENCY TO WHAT'S HAPPENING AND MOVING FORWARD. 
          UM, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT HEAVY INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS BELONG NEXT TO RESIDENTIAL, AND I HAVE THE HIGHEST HOPE AND FAITH IN MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS AND IN THE STAFF THAT I'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW THAT WE WILL WORK VERY HARD TO GET THIS RIGHT MOVING FORWARD. 
          I CAN'T SUPPORT THE REZONING. 
          I THINK EVERYONE KNOWS WHY IT SHOULDN'T COME AS A SURPRISE. 
          UM, BUT WHAT I HAVE LEARNED OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS AND TAKING THIS ROLE AND THE FAITH THAT YOU'VE ENTRUSTED IN ME IS THAT BEING HERE MATTERS. 
          I BELIEVE STAFF AND COUNCIL IS LISTENING AND THEY WILL TRY TO GET IT RIGHT. 
          AND SO WITH YOUR CONTINUED ADVOCACY AND SUPPORT AND DECENCY, THE DECENCY, WE CAN ALL SHOW EACH OTHER US TO YOU, YOU TO US, EVERYONE TO STAFF. 
          I THINK WE CAN GET THIS RIGHT. 
          UM, I WAS, I'VE TOSSED MY STATEMENT BECAUSE I WAS, UM, A LITTLE TAKEN ABACK BY SOME OF THE RHETORIC AND IN SOME OF THE STATEMENTS, AND I DON'T THINK THAT THERE'S EVER A PLACE FOR THREATS, UM, EVEN IF THEY'RE BENIGN TONGUE IN CHEEK. 
          SO I HOPE MOVING FORWARD WE CAN ALL CONTINUE TO RISE ABOVE THAT. 
          UM, AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN SAY IT BETTER THAN SOME OF YOU HAVE SAID IT TONIGHT, BUT I I DON'T AGREE THAT HEAVY INDUSTRIAL BELONGS NEXT TO RESIDENTIAL. 
          AND THAT'S MY STANCE ON THIS. 
          AND IN MOVING FORWARD, WE'LL CONTINUE TO TRUST AND TO WORK AND TO ADVOCATE, UM, TO GET THIS RIGHT. 
          THAT'S IT. 
          THANKS. 
          I USUALLY HATE GOING FIRST. 
          I THINK MAYBE THIS TIME I NOT THRILLED UP GOING LAST. 
          I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. 
          THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT MY COLLEAGUES HAVE SAID THAT I VERY MUCH AGREE WITH UP HERE. 
          UM, AND I, I HAVE A LEVEL OF SUPPORT, UM, FOR THE REZONING. 
          UM, I THINK HAS BEEN SAID EARLIER TONIGHT, RESPONSIBLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS, IS IMPORTANT ACROSS THE COMMUNITY, BUT AS IN THIS AREA AS WELL, YOU KNOW, I WAS TOLD AS I SPENT A LOT OF TIME OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS DELIBERATING ABOUT NOT JUST THE CODE AND I, I VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE CODE BECAUSE I THINK IT WAS A REALLY HARD FOUGHT PROCESS BOTH FROM THE SIDE OF THE RESIDENTS AND AND THE SIDE OF STAFF. 
          AND I WANTED TO, TO HONOR THAT KNOWING THAT THERE MAY BE SOME WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, AND I'M OKAY WITH THAT. 
          WE, WE DO REVIEW AND CHANGE CODE FREQUENTLY. 
          I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT VALUE THIS POTENTIAL REZONING BRINGS TO THE ENTIRE CITY. 
          AND THAT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL SEVEN OF US WARD REPS INCLUDED, BECAUSE EVERYONE APPEAR HAS AN EQUAL VOTE FOR THE ENTIRE CITY. 
          THAT BEING SAID, I THINK THAT IN THIS PROCESS VERY UNINTENTIONALLY THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME IMPLICATIONS AND SOME INFERENCES ON BOTH SIDES THAT WERE MAYBE NOT CLEAR THAT MAYBE COULD HAVE BEEN CLEARER. 
          AND COMMUNICATION IS A, IS A FICKLE MISTRESS, RIGHT? OFTENTIMES, TRUTH IS IN THE EYE OF THE PERCEIVER. 
          UM, FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT I BELIEVE IS THE APPROPRIATE ZONING OR NOT, THAT THE PROCESS ITSELF, THE COMMUNICATION AND THE INTENTIONS ARE HELD TO THE FIDELITY OF THE INTENT OF THAT PROCESS. 
          AND SO FOR ME, THAT HAS BEEN THE REAL 
          [02:35:01]
STRUGGLE WITH THIS PARTICULAR REZONING. 
          I'VE BEEN SITTING HERE FOR 10 AND A HALF YEARS AND I'VE NOT ENCOUNTERED A CIRCUMSTANCE OR SITUATION QUITE LIKE THE ONE THAT WE HAVE FACED HERE TOGETHER. 
          AND I SAY THAT TOGETHER BECAUSE WE ARE RESIDENTS AS WELL. 
          UM, AND I AGREE VERY MUCH WITH COUNCIL MEMBER JOHNSON'S COMMENTS ABOUT HAVING THE MUTUAL RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER. 
          SO I, AGAIN, I HAVE A LEVEL OF, OF, OF SUPPORT FOR THE REZONING. 
          MY STRUGGLE IS WITH THE PROCESS. 
          I'M NOT SURE THAT IT WAS TRULY CLEAR AND UNDERSTOOD ON, ON BOTH SIDES. 
          AND I DO NOT BELIEVE FOR ONE MINUTE THAT IT WAS INTENTIONAL. 
          I DO NOT BELIEVE FOR ONE MINUTE THAT IT WAS AN INTENTIONAL BAIT AND SWITCH. 
          I REALLY DO NOT. 
          I THINK THERE, THERE WAS SO MUCH HAPPENING AND SO MUCH ATTEMPT AT COLLABORATION AND THINKING THROUGH THINGS TOGETHER AND CHALLENGES THAT THERE WERE SOME THINGS THAT GOT LOST IN TRANSLATION. 
          AND I'LL PAUSE MY COMMENTS THERE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, I AM SUPPORTIVE OF THIS REZONING, UH, BUT I AM SUPPORTIVE OF CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT AND REFINEMENT OF CODE. 
          I I THINK IT IS APPROPRIATE. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE EMBARKED ON A, UM, VIRTUALLY CITYWIDE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE, OF THE WID AND THE HISTORIC DISTRICT, UM, OF DOING AN UPDATE. 
          I HAVE HEARD STAFF, UH, ALLUDE TO SOME CHANGES. 
          THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME JUST PROCEDURAL CHANGES THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO THEM AS THEY NAVIGATE APPLICATIONS THAT COME FORWARD. 
          SO I WOULD BE VERY SUPPORTIVE IN, UM, LOOKING AT THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW, ADD THIS, UM, THE ID TWO AND ID THREE SECTIONS, UM, TO THE ZONING CODE UPDATE THAT WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING. 
          UM, SO I, I THINK THAT MAKES GOOD SENSE. 
          I I AM SYMPATHETIC TOO WITH, UM, WITH EVERYONE HAS AN INTEREST IN THIS. 
          UM, AND IT IS A, AS AMY MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, THESE PARCELS DO EXIST. 
          SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED AND WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO MAKE ANYBODY, UM, NON-CONFORMING AND, AND CAUSE UH, FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED IN THESE AREAS, UH, WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR LENDING AND, AND ALL OF THOSE OTHER MATTERS. 
          SO, UM, I THINK IT'S A PERFECTLY APPROPRIATE TO ADD THIS TO THAT LIST. 
          UM, AND WHILE WE CONTINUE FORWARD WITH, UM, THE REZONING PROCESS. 
          SO, UM, WITH THAT, IF THERE IS NOTHING FURTHER, UM, I WILL, UH, ASK JENNY TO PLEASE CALL THE ROLE DR. LAMB. 
          YES. 
          MS. A LUDO? NO. 
          MS. CRAM? YES. 
          MS. JOHNSON? NO. 
          VICE MAYOR DEROSA? YES. 
          MAYOR AROSE GRUS. 
          MR. KEELER? YES. 
          UM, I, I DO THINK THAT YOU'VE, YOU'VE HEARD SOME INTEREST IN REVISITING THE ID TWO AND ID THREE SECTIONS OF THAT CODE. 
          SO WITH THAT SAID, UM, MAYOR, UM, THAT BEING SAID, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO THAT COUNCIL, UH, SPECIFICALLY REQUEST THE CITY MANAGER TO INITIATE A REVIEW OF THE ID TWO AND ID THREE CODE, UH, WITHIN THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT. 
          I THINK WE CAN BUILD UPON THE INPUT RECEIVED FROM RESIDENTS AND ADDITIONAL STAKEHOLDERS AND THE LESSONS LEARNED AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ID SIX CODE TO DETERMINE HOW ALL OF THAT INPUT AND LESSONS CAN APPROPRIATELY INFORM FUTURE REFINEMENTS TO THE ID TWO AND ID THREE CODE AND AS APPROPRIATE RETURN. 
          ANY RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNSEL FOR CONSIDERATION? UM, THAT'S, WE CAN COME TO AN AGREEMENT ON THAT. 
          I'D ALSO FURTHER REQUEST THAT THE CITY MANAGER PROVIDE COUNSEL WITH THE PROCESS AND TIMELINE FOR CONDUCTING THAT REVIEW AND BRING THAT TO US SHORTLY AFTER WE RETURN FROM RECESS. 
          FROM RECESS. 
          VERY GOOD. 
          THERE IS A MOTION ON THE TABLE. 
          I'M HAPPY TO SECOND, UM, JENNY, WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL? MR. LUDO? YES. 
          MS. SALUTO? YES. 
          MS. JOHNSON? YES. 
          DR. LAMB? YES. 
          VICE MAYOR DEROSA? YES. 
          MS. CRAM? YES. 
          MAYOR AROSE GROOMS? YES. 
          MR. KEELER? YES. 
          VERY GOOD, THANK YOU. 
          THIS BRINGS 
          [Resolution 30-26]
US TO THE, UH, INTRODUCTION, PUBLIC HEARING VOTE RESOLUTION RESOLUTION 30 DASH 26 AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH DUBLIN CITY SCHOOLS FOR THE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER PROGRAM. 
          OUR STAFF REPORT WILL BE BROUGHT FORWARD THIS EVENING, UH, BY DEPUTY CHIEF TABER. 
          UM, THANK YOU ALL FOR ATTENDING. 
          UH, YOU, THERE'S NO NEED TO STAY FURTHER THE BALANCE OF OUR MEETING UNLESS YOU HAVE INTEREST IN DOING SO. 
          SO WE'LL PAUSE FOR A MINUTE, UH, SO THAT YOU CAN DEPART IF THAT'S WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO. 
          BUT WE ARE REALLY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR PRESENCE THIS EVENING. 
          [02:40:03]
WELCOME, DEPUTY CHIEF. 
          THANK YOU. 
          GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. 
          THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE LONGSTANDING PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE CITY OF DUBLIN, DUBLIN POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE DUBLIN CITY SCHOOLS. 
          TONIGHT WE'RE REQUESTING AUTHORIZATION FOR THE CITY MANAGER TO RENEW THE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER OR SRO CONTRACT FOR THE 20 26 20 27 SCHOOL YEAR, THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR. 
          WE'LL MARK THE 28TH YEAR OF THE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER PROGRAM IN DUBLIN, REFLECTING A SUCCESSFUL AND ENDURING PARTNERSHIP DEDICATED TO STUDENT SAFETY, WELLBEING, AND POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR COMMUNITY. 
          BUILDING. 
          UPON NEARLY THREE DECADES OF COLLABORATION, I'M PROUD TO SHARE THAT THE PROGRAM CONTINUES TO EVOLVE TO MEET THE CHANGING NEEDS OF OUR SCHOOLS AND THE COMMUNITY. 
          THE DUBLIN POLICE DEPARTMENT CONTINUES TO ASSIGN FULL-TIME SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS TO EACH DUBLIN HIGH SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL. 
          WITH THE MIDDLE SCHOOL SROS SUPPORTING THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT. 
          THESE OFFICERS SERVE AS TRUSTED RESOURCES FOR STUDENTS, STAFF, AND FAMILIES, WHILE WORKING CLOSELY WITH SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS TO MAINTAIN SAFE AND WELCOMING LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS. 
          WHILE SAFETY REMAINS THEIR CORE RESPONSIBILITY, OUR SROS SERVE IN A MUCH BROADER CAPACITY. 
          THEY SERVE AS EDUCATORS, MENTORS, COUNSELORS, AND PROBLEM SOLVERS, BUILDING MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS WITH STUDENTS AND STAFF ON A DAILY BASIS. 
          DURING THE 20 26 20 27 SCHOOL YEAR, WE'LL CONTINUE TO EMPHASIZE COLLABORATIVE SCHOOL SAFETY PLANNING, YOUTH FOCUSED TRAFFIC AND MICRO MOBILITY EDUCATION, MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS INITIATIVES, AND ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN MULTIDISCIPLINARY THREAT ASSESSMENT TEAMS AND INTERVENTION EFFORTS. 
          ONE OF THE STRENGTHS OF DUBLIN'S SRO PROGRAM IS THE CONTINUOUS COLLABORATION BETWEEN POLICE, PERSONNEL, SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, TEACHERS, STUDENTS, AND PARENTS. 
          FEEDBACK FROM THESE PARTNERS HELP SHAPE THE PROGRAM AND ENSURES IT REMAINS RESPONSIVE TO THE NEEDS OF OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY. 
          ONGOING DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, DUBLIN CITY SCHOOL'S LEADERSHIP AND THE COMMUNITY ALLOWS US TO CONTINUALLY EVALUATE AND ENHANCE THE SERVICES THAT OUR SROS PROVIDE. 
          AS WE LOOK AHEAD TO THE COMING SCHOOL YEAR, WE REMAIN COMMITTED TO PROVIDING A SAFE, SUPPORTIVE AND POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT WHERE STUDENTS CAN LEARN, GROW, AND THRIVE. 
          THE RELATIONSHIPS BUILT BY OUR SROS ARE AMONG THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF THE PROGRAM AND CONTINUE TO DEMONSTRATE THE VALUE OF THIS PARTNERSHIP FOR OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY. 
          THANKS FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT OF THE SRO PROGRAM AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE SAFETY AND WELLBEING OF DUBLIN STUDENTS, FAMILIES, AND ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS. 
          WITH THAT, WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 30 DASH 26, AND I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
