Council Member Lamb. Thank you, Mayor. While I appreciate all the work that has been done on ordinance number one, as we know this is for our economic development zone and zoning ordinance text amendment, and I just, you know, I'm very transparent about everything and this is one of those things that I would like to request my colleagues to allow us to have Mr. Jim Duncan, the Director of Planning, to come up and just kind of go through the changes between the last draft and this draft that we have before us today. We have not had this opportunity to do this and I would like for us to have that opportunity. So I would ask Mr. Duncan if he would please come forward. so that he could kind of go over the differences between the things that have been changed in this ordinance that is before us today. Thank you, Mr. Duncan. Thank you, Mayor, Council Member Lamb. If we're speaking about the changes, I'm interested. Are you interested in the changes from when the Planning Commission approved this in August or from the original economic development zone that preceded the Planning Commission approval and what's different about that now? I am interested in the changes that have been put forward on this ordinance since it was first brought to this council earlier this year. Very well. The Planning Commission recommended a number of changes to you all at a hearing in August of last year. Since that time, there have been some additional changes recommended to the draft as well. Those primarily relate to the end of the draft where we're talking about the supportive uses and the amount of supportive uses. The Planning Commission's recommendation to you was 20% of the ED area could be set aside as supportive uses. The Planning Commission also recommended that those supportive uses be built at the same time as the principal uses. And just as a reminder, supportive uses are uses that are new to this text that the Planning Commission recommended, such as hotels and restaurants and gas stations and the like, that are outside the ordinary thought of what an economic development use is. The Planning Commission recommended 20% of these uses could be supportive. Since that time, we are recommending that that be reduced to 18%. In exchange for that, we're also recommending that an additional set-aside for the ED areas be designated, not necessarily specific land, but an amount be designated for residential use only, with residential use being one of the new supportive uses in the area. So we've reduced a number of supportive uses from 20% to 18%. added a provision that up to 8.5% of the land area in the ED could be used for single-use residential townhouses or apartments. And then we've also ensured that in doing so that whatever is done with the residential does not count against the supportive uses. So the 8.5% acreage set aside for residential can be done in addition to the 18% of these other supportive uses. And then where the Planning Commission did not recommend or recommended that the supportive uses be built at the same time as the principal uses and not before, the draft that's before you now permits a portion of those supportive uses to be built up front without any principal uses immediately following. And that is up to 20% of the supportive uses could be built initially in the economic development zone before any of the other principal uses are included. So Council Member Lamb, those are the main changes that are being recommended from when the Planning Commission initially approved this. There are also some other cleanup changes in here. One of them related to the use of office warehouse and flexible space. And those were not really intended to be a part of this in the first place. There was a miscommunication in drafting the final text on that. And then in the time since this was presented to the Planning Commission, There have been other ordinance changes that have affected this, and those are reflected in this as well. They have nothing to do with what's before you, but they're shown in this draft as well. That's what's different from the August version. I really appreciate that. And I mean, I know we at one time, and I know my time is running out here, but I was trying to use this for transparency. At one time we had a public hearing set, and I appreciated the fact that a lot of work was done on this to work out the schematics to it, a very important part. This economic development zone also affects three different parcels in our city. So I just want to make sure that we are all aware of what is going forward, and I appreciate Mr. Duncan giving this brief overview. Thank you, Mayor. area? In the expansion area, part of the 1996 expansion area. One of them is on the edge of the urban service area, one of them is close to the edge of the urban service area. Does the effect of this change treat all those parcels equally or does it treat them differently? They are all treated equally with these changes. So the exaction fees on each one of these would be similar to one another? The exaction fees will not change as a result of this. The exaction fees, at least as it's written right now, will still be the same for the ED land, which is different than the exaction fees in the other zones, but the exactions will remain the same. I just want to make sure all parties are well served by this, and we may have some commentary to that end from folks here in the audience tonight, but I had contact with one of these property owners this week, and the folks in the chamber had brought the opportunity for a rubber plant to go out there, which I'm not talking about an office fern. I'm talking about a rubber plant. That's not what I'm all about for the next and the future. So thank you. Councilman Bledsoe. Thank you, Mayor. Mr. Duncan, I'm just curious. Can you elaborate on how you came up with the 20% for the permitted uses or construction prior to the AD principal uses? This was part of the negotiation with reducing the total percentage of supportive uses from 20% to 18%. And in exchange, a portion of those supportive uses could be built up front. And that was a negotiation between several parties, including the property owners. Including all three property owners? No, one of the property owners is not included in this conversation, but I believe they are aware of it. And I guess that's my concern. One, that's my concern. Two, I feel like I raised these concerns about timing the last time we had this hearing. But I think in a free market economy where we're having lots of changes in the rapid to try to decide which moves first, the chicken or the egg, ED come first or the supportive loses come first, that it's still going to be challenging, even with 20%, to look like there's activity going on. I think if we haven't made that move yet, this is not going to do enough. And I think that's my primary concern with this. I think we want to move forward. We want it to work. And I don't think 20% gets us there. I think the timing issue is prohibitive, as it has been for the last 10 to 15 years. 20 years. Thank you. All right. Council Member Stendon. Thank you, Mary. It indeed has been a long road working through this change. We started about three years ago with a small group, and we're here today. And I want to appreciate the landowners being here and trying to work with us and other folks in our community who have an interest in this, like Commerce Lexington, Fed Alliance, and other folks who want to really see this evolve and become something that will help our city create jobs. I just want to point out a couple things. One, number four on our ordinances tonight does the exact same thing number one does, but we didn't separate it out. It's across the street, and it's UK. They're going to a P2 zone, and we just approved that with flying colors. And all of a sudden, this one's different. It's across the street. Different concept, but the concept underlying is mixed use. That's what millennials want. That's what seniors want. Fritz Farm, look out there on Nicholsville Road. What did they build first? The apartments. That's what they built first. What did Hamburg build first? Not the offices, I can tell you that. Not the banks. The retail. So I think it's a misnomer to think that we're going to get all these big office buildings out there first, and then we'll do the restaurants. That's why the 20% comes into play. If businesses want to locate out there, they don't want their employees driving an hour to get lunch. They want something close by besides McDonald's, which is the only thing out there now. And that's why UK pursued theirs, and rightfully so. and that's why this property and the other two pursued theirs as well. So this is a good move in the right direction. I agree with Council Member Bledsoe. Time will tell. We have created zero jobs in 20 years on this land. Zero. It's time that we put it to work and this will get us one step closer. It won't be the silver bullet, but I think it's time. Not only do we do this, but I'll also reference what I said there in our budget discussion. This city needs to get serious about partnering with Commerce Lexington and setting aside up to 500 acres for industrial land. That's the future. And if we don't do it now, we're not creating jobs and we're getting further behind the eight ball in our economy. Thank you, Mayor. All right. Councilman Latton. Thank you. And I just want to explain or express that the difference between this ordinance that we just had Mr. Duncan go over, the difference between it and number four on the docket is, is because when we had the ordinance number one brought to us back several months ago, it came in one form. And since, as of today on second reading, it is in a different form. There have been changes to it. We have not had the transparency for the public to know about that. And, you know, anybody that knows me is I'm all about transparency. I am in favor of moving forward with this. And I do hope that these changes do create jobs because that is very important to us. And I do hope that we can work out and find 500 acres for Commerce Lex because I know how important that is for our community. So I just want to reiterate that the reason this is different, because it is. There have been changes to this ordinance since it first came to this body, and I wanted to make sure that the public had an opportunity to know what those changes were because they have not been made public, and now that they have, I feel that satisfies my need for transparency, and I appreciate my colleagues honoring that. and I believe, Mayor, there might be some people here that would want to speak to this, but I do not know that for sure. So I appreciate that. Thank you. Okay. Council Member Henson. Thank you, Mayor. Jim, Mr. Duncan, I'm sorry. Can you tell me how many acres each one of these parcels have? Yes, the Anderson property, expansion area 3, is 353 acres. And in the other parcel, which is divided into two ownership, Baptist Health owns about 129 acres, and the Calgill family, 86 acres. And there is one more, though, right? No, there are two areas, expansion area 2 and 3, and the expansion area 2 is divided into two parcels, about a third of it owned by the Calgill family and the remainder by Baptist Health. Oh, and that is Winchester Road, is that correct? Yes, yes. So if we were able to find 500 acres for Commerce Lexington, I guess my thinking is if these properties have sat here that long, what good would it do for us to find 500 acres for Commerce Lexington? Well, I believe that by making these changes and modernizing the zoning ordinance to allow these properties to develop in a more contemporary manner, that we may be able to meet the need that we're looking for with Commerce Lexington. So I would hope that if we make these changes that we would give this an opportunity to work and then start looking at another alternative if it doesn't. But I think with these changes we're giving this 560 plus acres the opportunity to provide the jobs that we wanted it to for so long. I think it is. It's a good try, and we'll see if it works. And then if not, then maybe we're just not seeing the real cause. So thank you. All right. Thank you, Councilman. Thank you, Mayor. Okay. Before I ask for a motion on number one, there may be some people here who wish to speak to it. And if you are, then if you'll please come to the microphone. No, I'm going to ask for a motion after we do this. If you would please just identify yourself and where you live, and then you've got all three minutes. Yes, sir. Good evening, Mr. Mayor, members of the council. My name is Jacob Walburn. My home address is 3028, our Tibbs Trail, here in Lexington. I'm here today in my professional capacity as a development attorney on behalf of the Cowgill family, one of the three property owners you've heard discussed this evening. I'm not here today to tell you to vote against this ordinance. We're encouraged that after 21 years that this land has sat vacant, that changes are being considered to come up with a more productive development. We think this text amendment has many positive aspects. Unfortunately, we don't think it goes far enough to spur the development that we envision for the Calgill property. However, we're hopeful that after you vote on this today, that you'll continue to monitor these properties and can see whether these changes have indeed been successful, and if not, to consider further changes that will help us in providing what we think could be a signature development for Lexington. Thank you for your time. I know you've had a long day already, and I'd also like to let my client, Christy Harris, speak to you as well. Thank you, Jacob. Ms. Harris. Hello, Mayor, Vice Mayor, and members of the Council. My name is Christy Calgill-Harris. I'm one of the owners of the property on Winchester Road with my sisters who are also present today. And I just wanted to speak a little bit about my position. I was the one who drew the short straw in the family and had to be on all those committees for all of this. So I've been working with the city on this issue for about three or four years. and like Jacob said, we are frustrated because we feel like we have a vision for the property that will be beneficial to Lexington and we still are not getting what we need in order to develop this land. The property that we own is only 86 acres, so when you start looking at the timing issue, really all we can do is go out there and put one hotel and we just can't afford to put the infrastructure and all of that in with just one hotel. So I guess what I'm asking for is some more flexibility, and that's probably what we're going to come back with is to get some more flexibility so that we don't have to worry about a timing issue. If we didn't have the timing issue, we think maybe this could work. But for our property, which is different, it's different. It's only 86 acres, and we're right next to Baptist Health. So we don't want an industrial park. We don't want that next to sick people. That's it. Let me see if I have anything else. I've got my notes. We just want somebody in the city to take a lead and help us develop this property so that we can make it beneficial for the city. All right. Thank you, Christy. Thanks very much. All right. All right. Dick. I just had a brief comment. I'm Dick Murphy. I represent Dennis Anderson. John Strauman and I are here representing Dennis. We weren't planning on talking, but I just wanted to tell you a little bit. Some of these changes that came to you after the ordinance came up to you resulted in some conversations Ms. Speckert and I had initiated from the Fayette Alliance. our concern from Mr. Anderson's standpoint was we have, for example, we've sold a 22-acre lot for a major corporate office building, and they're concerned that we don't have a restaurant out there for people to eat at. And the language in here was somewhat limiting about that, so that's where we put in the provision here that you can build up to 20% of the supportive uses prior to other office buildings being built because our customers want that. They want to see that there's a place to go to lunch before they build their building. They don't want to wait a year after they build the building to have the restaurant there. That's stifling our sales of property out there. We think this is a positive development. We wanted more. If you read the minutes, you could tell we wanted more at the Planning Commission meeting. but we think this is an ordinance which will assist in the development of the ED zone. So we thank Fayette Alliance for talking to us and working out some of these things before and we thank your attention and we look forward to positive developments in the ED zone. We thank you very much. All right, thank you, Dick. Council Member Massadi. Thank you, Mayor. Mr. Duncan, would you mind coming to the podium, please? Based upon what Mr. Murphy and Mr. Rauburn and the Cowgirl family said, is there going to be some flexibility down the road? Do they have that, I'm not saying assurance, but will you look at each development and if there's an issue that comes up, or is this pretty much, this is the ordinance, we don't deviate, no flexibility? As far as any sort of timing issue, this ordinance would not enable the Planning Commission or anyone else to vary that. So the 20% supportive uses up front is the maximum that they could build based on this ordinance. Of course, as with any zoning text, a text amendment can follow at any time. and we've already got one in the hopper related to the economic development zone that's waiting for this one to be approved. So a text amendment can be filed at any time and I would imagine we would want to evaluate this after the passage of a reasonable amount of time to see if what we have done is causing this land to get activated and we may even want to come back with our own recommendations. Certainly the property owner can come back at any time and ask for that. This is like new and unchartered, obviously, and we're trying to please several landowners and plus go forward with this and try to do the best for the community. And my concern was, do we allow some flexibility? And maybe a review of this process down the road saying this is working or this is not working. And you're saying we do have that. Well, I think that would be a good idea, especially in light of the request that we need 500 acres for economic development. And this is 500 acres for economic development, So I think we want to monitor it closely to see if we're achieving our goals here. And if we're not, what else can we do, just like we did with this process, either to make this work better or to look at an alternative. I appreciate it. I appreciate all the parties working together and trying to come to a compromise. And hopefully it will work out successfully. We all hope it will work out successfully. Thank you, Mayor. All right. Thank you, Councilman Bersadia. All right. No one else has signed on to speak, so I'll ask for a motion on number one. Sir, may I give it a reading first? Okay, go ahead. Second reading. Go ahead.

Thank you, Madam Clerk. Is there a motion to approve? So moved. Second. Motion by Vice Mayor Kay, second by Council Member Henson. Is there any discussion? All right, then, Madam Clerk, whenever you're ready, please call the roll. All right. Thank you, Madam Clerk. The vote reflects passage of the motion. It allows us to move on to the next item, which is communications from the mayor. Is there a motion to approve? We approve. I second. Motion by Council Member Scutchfield, seconded by Council Member Henson. Is there any discussion? All right. Hearing none, we can vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Next is FYI, communications. And next, I will open the floor to Council for announcements. Any announcements tonight? Council Member Farmer. Thank you, Mayor. I had made comments on Tuesday about the family that had passed away based on smoke inhalation and the fact that we as a community through the fire service provide folks with the opportunity to have smoke detectors. And we immediately had more requests than we had smoke detectors or loose money for smoke detectors. And I'm glad to report the ensuing couple of days that Commissioner Baston worked with our budgeting folks and they were able to free up enough money to buy all the smoke detectors for people who were in the queue. And I think that's great. It shows the dynamic nature of what we do here and the difference that we can make, but still the ultimate importance of having smoke detectors in your home that work. That's the bottom line. And then I'm pleased to report, based on things going on in and around the public eye and our comments here about our cable franchise, Spectrum. I've been told just now by Council Member Mazzotti, she has been dialed up three times by Spectrum Hall. We've been here, and I've made $15. So thank you very much. There you go. Council Member Bledsoe. Thank you, Mayor. This is just a shout-out. If you are looking for something to do this Saturday, A tall sound music festival is from 12 to 8 behind Olika Temple on Southland Drive. It's the first multi-genre, multi-band music festival on Southland Drive, so you can buy tickets at the door. It's from 12 to 8 on Saturday. Thanks. Thank you, Council Member Bledsoe. Council Member Massadi. Sorry. And to follow up on what Council Member Farmer has said, we have just made national news with USA Today. I had spoken to a reporter about some of the concerns and it says, in Lexington, Kentucky, residents complained about price hikes and channels going black to local officials who themselves were experiencing the channel switches. Quote, I know my constituents are upset about the rate increase, said Urban County Council President Jennifer Massadi. So we have gotten some national attention and I've gotten three phone calls, so yay. Hopefully things will happen in the positive. That's all, Mayor. Yes, thank you, Councilman Massadi. All right, that's all who've signed on for announcements, and that allows us to move to public comments. The floor is available for public comment. Mr. McCarthy. For the record, my name is Bernard McCarthy, and my address is 515 Harry Street, which most of you already know. I want to point out that while so far for the past 21 years you've only charged exactions in the so-called expansion areas that were added to the urban service area 21 years ago, I think you rightfully ought to be charging exactions on all new development within the county, regardless of what area it's in. and you should be charging exactions on any redevelopment that results in a net increase compared to whatever was torn down to make room for it. All the developers who seek rezoning of various properties brag on how much more revenue you'll make in property tax from all the new buildings they're going to put up and what you'll collect in occupational tax from all the people working at new jobs in those new buildings. But all that revenue gets eaten up by increases in the operating costs of this merged government, and there's never any money available to pay for new infrastructure that is necessary to handle the increased numbers of people. and I really don't think we can expect more state or federal money to subsidize our growth. I don't think people in counties that are stagnant or losing population are going to be agreeable to pay more taxes on themselves to subsidize this county gaining more people for one thing. I also want to point out, I think it's perhaps high time to expand the urban service boundary again, because from what I've seen in the paper and what I've seen happening close to where I live, I've actually seen profit-making builders building a new structure on my block. I can remember when people swore I was nuts to put a new house in an old neighborhood. the prices of vacant lots have been driven up by not having any room to go out. So now the profit-making builders are crowding out do-it-yourselfers and making things rougher on the non-profits that are trying to take care of the poor. Thank you, Mr. McCarthy. Thank you, Bernard. All right, I will ask for a motion to adjourn. Wait, wait, wait. Oh, I'm so sorry. Doctor, forgive me. Good evening. One last gasp here and I'll let you all go home. I'm Dr. Carl Lang. I'm the chairman of the board of directors of Mission Lexington, one of our downtown free medical, dental, and pharmacy clinics. I know that we're not recommending, you're not recommending funding up for the coming cycle since you have since 2012. Because of the changes in your applications for grant applications among the community wellness and safety applicants, we came out 13 and you're recommending only to fund 12. The way you've done this since 2012, you dropped the highest and lowest review score for each agency. So Mission Lexington's score would have been higher than two of the agencies that were funded. I just want to explain that our free dental clinic cares for adult, uninsured Fayette County residents below the poverty level. We've had over 2,600 patient visits in 2016, and we cared for them with volunteer doctors, dentists, nurses, and other professionals. All of it done free of charge, all of it done with volunteers. We are open six days a week. We've taken in Mission Lexington, has included Nathaniel Mission for Dental and Medical Services, as well as Faith Pharmacy. I've been involved as a volunteer for the last 12 years ever since Mission Lexington started. I've practiced dentistry in Lexington privately for 55 years. I've been involved over 40 years on the staff of the University of Kentucky. And I've been on the Fayette County Board of Health. I think my experience knows that the role of the government, the university, and private practice, and I'm just pleading for the possibility later on of some funding for, I think, a very important part of our medical and dental care for the uninsured poverty in Lexington. And I thank you for my time. Thank you, Doctor, and thank you for your remarkable service and that of your colleagues. I will now ask for a motion. Is there anybody else? I think everyone else. Thank you again, Doctor. Motion to adjourn. Extend it. Second by Council Member Scotchfield. The End Thank you.
