[2. SPIN2023-05 - An applicant is proposing an approximately 1,300 sq. ft. art studio on approximately 1-acre located at 8850 Davis Blvd. within SPIN Neighborhood #10. ]

BRUCE FIELDS IS HERE TO PRESENT OUR FIRST ITEM ON THE AGENDA THIS EVENING, WHICH IS SPIN 2023-05.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'M BRUCE FIELDS, OWNER OF THE PROPERTY AT 8850 DAVIS BOULEVARD.

A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY ON THE PROJECT, ON THE PROPERTY.

IT WAS OWNED AND RUN BY A CHURCH AND WE BOUGHT IT IN LATE DECEMBER 2020.

AND IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED CS.

WE PLAN TO KEEP IT CS ZONING FOR COMMUNITY ENRICHMENT THROUGH CLASSES.

WE'RE PLANNING ON PUTTING AN ART STUDIO ON THE PROPERTY.

WE'VE BEEN WE'VE BEEN KIND OF LOOKING FOR A A GOOD TENANT AND A GOOD FIT FOR THE CHURCH.

AND SO WE THINK WE FOUND ONE.

AND SO THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO, IS TO KEEP THE EXISTING CHURCH, AS IS KEEP THE GROUNDS AND JUST PUT AN ART STUDIO IN THERE.

YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE BIT WHERE IT'S LOCATED.

HERE'S A SURVEY OF THE PROPERTY WE HAD.

WE HAD COMPLETED WHEN WE BOUGHT IT.

SO WE STARTED WE STARTED LOOKING AT DIFFERENT USES FOR IT.

AND I WAS WE WERE KIND OF INSPIRED BY DIFFERENT FORMS OF ART THAT HAPPEN AND OCCUR BECAUSE OF ART.

I'M A BIG LINKEDIN GUY ON BUSINESS AND THERE'S A GENTLEMAN NAMED MACK ALEXANDER THAT HAS BEEN READING HIS STORY.

I FOLLOW HIM ON LINKEDIN.

AND SO HE WAS A VETERAN AND GOT INTO OBVIOUSLY THROUGH THE ART WORLD OF MAKING BELTS.

AND YOU CAN LOOK UP HIS COMPANY.

SO THERE ARE LOTS OF DIFFERENT FORMS OF ART THAT OCCUR.

AND THE REASON I PUT THIS SLIDE IN, JUST TO SHOW YOU THAT THE EFFECT THAT ART CAN HAVE ON PEOPLE AS A PRODUCTIVE WAY OF LIFE. SO.

EXPERIENTIAL ART IS SOMETHING THAT WE SEE ALL THE TIME.

I'M IN THE CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS THAT OBVIOUSLY EVERYBODY RECOGNIZES THE BIG EYEBALL THAT OCCURS DOWNTOWN DALLAS.

AND THEN I WAS WORKING ON A PROJECT UP IN NEW YORK CITY, AND THEY BUILT THIS LARGE SERIES OF STAIRS CALLED THE VESSEL.

I'M SURE YOU'VE ALL SEEN THIS, AND THIS IS WHAT'S CALLED EXPERIENTIAL ART.

BUT ALL THESE FORMS OF ART START SOMEWHERE.

[00:05:04]

THESE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN HERE IN SOUTH LAKE.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE IS THE THREE BOROUGHS ALONG 1709.

SO IT'S A PIECE OF EXPERIENTIAL ART.

WE KNOW THAT AS WE GET INTO SOME OF OUR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS AND DEVELOPMENTS, EXPERIENTIAL ART REALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE AS TO THE EXPERIENCE FOR THE FOLKS THAT ARE VISITING. SO THE THE PROPOSED TENANT IS A GROUP.

STEPHANIE GANNON'S HERE AND STEPHANIE RUNS A CRAFTING AN ART STUDIO AND SHE WOULD CALL THIS THE GATHERING PLACE, WHICH IS A PERFECT FIT FOR WHAT WAS THE CHURCH.

AND OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN READ HER MISSION STATEMENT.

WE FEEL LIKE IT'S A GREAT FIT FOR THE EXISTING CHURCH.

THERE'S A VISION STATEMENT.

SO THE THE PROPOSED USE OF THE CHURCH WOULD BE TO KEEP AS IS, IT'S ABOUT 1300 SQUARE FEET.

SHE WOULD HAVE A SOME RETAIL USES INSIDE THE INSIDE THE CHURCH.

THEY WOULD HAVE A MONTHLY ARTISAN MARKET ON THE OUTSIDE.

YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ON THE ON THE SITE WE'RE PROPOSING AN OUTDOOR GAZEBO IN THE BACK OF THE LOT.

AND THAT WOULD HOLD PROBABLY SOME POP UP TYPE MARKETS AND POP UP EVENTS FOR ARTISTS.

THE CHURCH, AS YOU CAN SEE, SHE WOULD HAVE EVENTS AT THE CHURCH AND IT WOULD BE FOR PAINTING, SCRAPBOOKING.

THERE WOULD BE SOME RETAIL SALES, DIFFERENT TYPES OF ART THERAPY, SO EVENTS FOR BIRTHDAY PARTIES AND JUST MONTHLY EVENTS.

SO IT'S NOT IT'S NOT A HUGE SPACE, BUT I THINK IT COULD BE VERY EFFECTIVE.

SO, STEPHANIE HAS STARTED AND SHE HAS SOME EXISTING STORES WITH A COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT SLIDE IS IS IN HERE FOR THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH OR THIS IS IT.

SO, STEPHANIE, YOU CAN YOU CAN SPEAK TO IT OR I CAN SO.

YOU WANT TO COME UP AND TALK TO IT? THANKS, BRUCE. SO I BELIEVE IN A RETAIL SPACE.

THERE ALSO NEEDS TO BE COMMUNITY OUTREACH.

THIS IS NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART.

ART, WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH TREATMENT, I AM A SURVIVOR OF CANCER AND WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH TREATMENT, ART WAS A WAY FOR ME TO TO RECOVER. AND MY GOAL AND THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH PLAN IS TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER THROUGH ART.

THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I'M NAMING THE BUSINESS THE GATHERING PLACE.

THIS WOULD STIMULATE ART AT AN EARLY AGE FOR CHILDREN INVOLVEMENT WITH SICKNESS, DEPRESSION, HEALING THROUGH THIS OUTREACH PLAN, THROUGH COMMUNITY GROUPS, THROUGH INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP LEARNING, LOCAL ARTISANS CAN SHOWCASE THEIR WORK AT THE SHOP AND SUPPORT OTHER LOCAL EVENTS. NOT ONLY WOULD IT BE REACHING OUT THROUGH THE SCHOOLS, AND THAT WOULD BE EITHER PRIVATE SCHOOLS, EARLY CHILDHOOD/CHILDCARE, DAYCARE CENTERS, HOME SCHOOLING, THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

SO THEY HAVE AN OUTLET OR SOMEWHERE TO GO FOR MAKING ART.

ADDITIONAL VETERANS, GROUP GROUPS, SENIOR CITIZENS, THOSE ARE ALL THINGS THAT WE LOOK TO EITHER GO HAVE PEOPLE COME INTO THE GATHERING PLACE OR TO GO OUT IN THE COMMUNITY AND SUPPORT THEM THROUGH ART.

THANK YOU. AS A FATHER WITH KIDS THAT TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD A SPECIAL PROJECT FROM SCHOOL.

I WAS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR ANOTHER RESOURCE TO HELP GET THOSE DONE.

SO ANYWAY, THAT'S OUR VERY SHORT PRESENTATION, THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE MEETING FOR THE PACKAGES IS REALLY JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS REUSING THE CHURCH FOR AN ART STUDIO.

WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THE BUILDING AND THE GROUNDS PRETTY MUCH AS IS, BUT WE ARE GOING TO BE PUTTING AN OUTDOOR GAZEBO IN THE BACK AND CREATE A PARK LIKE AREA.

SO. ALL RIGHT.

THIS ITEM IS NOW OPEN FOR DISCUSSION.

WE ASK THOSE WITH QUESTIONS.

PLEASE USE THE MICROPHONES IN THE AISLES SO THOSE WATCHING FROM HOME CAN HEAR.

ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE.

IS THERE A QUESTION WE HAVE? ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

[3. SPIN2023-06 - An applicant is proposing a senior living community on approximately 21- acres located at 300 Davis Blvd. within SPIN Neighborhood #11]

[00:10:05]

RIGHT NOW WE GO TO RUSSELL JONES IS HERE TO PRESENT OUR SECOND ITEM ON THE AGENDA THIS EVENING, WHICH IS SPIN 2023-06.

HE'S PROPOSING A SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITY ON APPROXIMATELY 21 ACRES LOCATED AT 300 DAVIS BOULEVARD WITHIN SPIN NEIGHBORHOOD 11.

HI, GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS RUSSELL JONES AND I WORK FOR GREYSTONE AND WE OFFICE AT 225 EAST JOHN CARPENTER FREEWAY.

NOW, GREYSTONE IS A LOCAL COMPANY, BUT WE HAVE AN EXPERIENCE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

WE DEVELOP, MARKET, AND MANAGE SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITIES ALL ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.

BUT. SPECIFICALLY TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT 21 ACRES ON DAVIS BOULEVARD.

NOW, I WANT TO START WITH THIS SLIDE BECAUSE I THINK IT REALLY TELLS A GOOD STORY.

NOW, EACH DOT THAT YOU SEE ON THIS MAP REPRESENTS A HOUSEHOLD THAT HAS AN AGE AND INCOME QUALIFIED RESIDENT.

NOW, THIS COUNT OF 4000 UNITS IS QUITE A BIT AND IT MAKES IT VERY INTERESTING.

AND YOU ALL ALREADY KNOW A LOT OF THE DEMOGRAPHICS.

A MATTER OF FACT, 10,000 SENIORS OR 10,000 PEOPLE TURN 65 EVERY SINGLE DAY IN THE UNITED STATES.

AND WHILE WE KNOW THAT SOME SENIORS WANT TO STAY IN THEIR HOME, MANY OF THEM WOULD LIKE TO LIVE IN A SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITY.

AND WE BELIEVE THIS PROVIDES MORE OPTIONS FOR THEM.

AND MATTER OF FACT, LETS THEM LIVE CLOSER TO WHERE THEIR NEIGHBORS ARE, WHERE THEIR FRIENDS ARE, WHERE THEY WORSHIP, AND WHERE THEY GO TO SCHOOL, OR RATHER GO TO WORK OR CHURCH. SO OUR TYPE OF COMMUNITY IS A CONTINUING CARE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN A STANDALONE SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITY.

IT HAS MULTIPLE LEVELS OF CARE.

MOST OF IT'S INDEPENDENT LIVING.

BUT WE'LL ALSO HAVE SOME HEALTH CARE THAT WILL BE ASSISTED LIVING AND MEMORY SUPPORT.

THIS CONTINUUM OF CARE WILL PROVIDE A LIFELONG NEEDS FOR THE SENIORS.

THEY'LL BE ABLE TO AGE IN PLACE AND MOST OF THE TIME THEY'LL HAVE SOME SORT OF HEALTH CARE BENEFIT THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE WITH THE COMMUNITY.

AND I'LL HIGHLIGHT, TOO, THAT THE LONGER LENGTH OF STAY IS TYPICALLY LONGER IN A CCRC, THAT'S 10 TO 12 YEARS VERSUS 4 TO 5 YEARS IN A STANDALONE COMMUNITY.

SO THE SPONSOR FOR THIS COMMUNITY WHO WILL BE THE ACTUAL OWNER OPERATORS FOR FRONT LIVING.

NOW THERE ARE LOCAL BASED, FAITH BASED COMMUNITY IN DALLAS, AND I'LL HIGHLIGHT THAT NOT FOR PROFIT ORGANIZATION TYPICALLY IN THESE SORTS OF COMMUNITIES INVEST ANY SORT OF PROFITS BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY.

SO IT LOOKS GOOD FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

NOW THEY HAVE A LONG TERM COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY ITSELF.

THEY DON'T LOOK TO BUILD A SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITY AND THEN FILL IT UP AND FLIP IT.

THEY INTEND ON BUYING THIS AND HOLDING IT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

NOW THEY HAVE A NUMBER OF ENTITIES CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW, PRESBYTERIAN VILLAGE NORTH OR PBN, IS A LARGE CAMPUS.

THEY HAVE IT'S OVER 60 ACRES IN NORTH DALLAS AND THIS HAS BEEN EVOLVING OVER THE MANY YEARS THAT'S BEEN OPEN.

I THINK IT'S BEEN OPEN SINCE THE 1980S.

BUT MATTER OF FACT, GREYSTONE'S BEEN INVOLVED WITH UPDATING THIS AND HAS DONE A NUMBER OF NEW PROJECTS FOR THEM ON THIS CURRENT CAMPUS.

ADDITIONALLY, THE OUTLOOK AT WIND HAVEN IS A CAMPUS THAT WE'RE DEVELOPING FOR THEM UP IN PLANO.

THEY ALSO HAVE OTHER ENTITIES THAT INCLUDE HOSPICE.

IT WON'T BE INCLUDED IN IN A SOUTH LAKE PROJECT.

BUT JUST TO POINT OUT THAT THEY HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF SENIOR CARE.

NOW, GREYSTONE IS A DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANT.

NOW WE'VE JUST CELEBRATED OUR 40TH ANNIVERSARY.

NOW WE'RE BASED IN IRVING AND WE FOCUS MORE ON THE PLANNING DEVELOPMENT MARKETING SIDE.

WE'RE BASICALLY A QUARTERBACK FOR THE PROCESS.

NOW I'LL JUST POINT OUT THAT WE'VE WORKED WITH OVER 500 NOT FOR PROFIT OWNERS AND SPONSORS IN MANY STATES, AND WE'VE DONE OVER 160 NEW COMMUNITIES OR STARTUPS OR REDEVELOPMENTS.

NOW, THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE ACTUAL SITE ITSELF.

IT'S 21 ACRES.

IT'S AN ASSEMBLAGE OF FOUR OR FIVE LOTS.

CURRENTLY, THEY HAVE SOME SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES ON IT.

AS YOU NOTICE, THERE'S A LARGE ON THE WEST SIDE, A LARGE AREA OF, UM, BUILDABLE AREA THAT'S A CREEK.

AND WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THAT.

BUT WE REALLY SEE THAT AS AN AMENITY THAT WE CAN FOCUS IN ON.

ONCE AGAIN, IT'S FIVE OR FOUR OR FIVE SINGLE FAMILY LOTS, A LOT OF OPEN SPACE IN BETWEEN THE HOUSES THERE.

THE NET BUILDABLE AREA IS AROUND ABOUT 16 ACRES.

IT'S ZONED FOR LARGE LOTS, SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES.

BUT I'LL ALSO POINT OUT THAT IN THE COMP PLAN IT DOES HAVE A MIXED USE DESIGNATION.

[00:15:04]

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE'RE EXCITED, BECAUSE WE FEEL LIKE THAT MIXED USE DESIGNATION IS KIND OF MATCHES THE INTENSITY OF WHAT WE PLAN TO DO.

SO AS FAR AS THE PROJECT ITSELF, ONCE AGAIN, WE WE HOPE TO DEVELOP A STATE OF THE ART SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITY WITH MULTIPLE LEVELS OF CARE LIKE I TALKED ABOUT JUST A SECOND AGO. AND IT REALLY IS RESIDENT FOCUSED.

IT'S MORE OF A HOSPITALITY MODEL THAN IT IS AN OLD FACILITY THAT YOU MAY THINK OF.

THAT'S BEEN THE DOMINANT MODEL IN SENIOR HOUSING FOR A LONG TIME.

THEY HAVE A REALLY ROBUST SET OF SERVICES AND COMMONS AREAS, INCLUDING MULTIPLE DINING VENUES, WELLNESS AREAS, FITNESS, RECREATION LOUNGES.

NOW, AS FAR AS WHAT THE UNIT COUNTS WILL BE, WE DON'T KNOW THAT QUITE YET.

WE'VE DONE A TEST FIT, A HIGH LEVEL CONCEPT PLAN, BUT WE ANTICIPATE THAT IT COULD FIT BETWEEN 120 AND 160 INDEPENDENT LIVING UNITS, 31 COTTAGES, AND THEN A SMALLER COMPONENT OF HEALTH CARE THAT WOULD BE ASSISTED LIVING, ASSISTED LIVING AND MEMORY SUPPORT.

SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE DENSITY.

HOW DOES THAT LOOK? SO IF YOU KIND OF TAKE THAT RANGE, THE DENSITY FROM A UNITS PER ACRE PERSPECTIVE IS ABOUT 9.8 UNITS PER ACRE ALL THE WAY UP TO 11.7.

BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT WATER, MIRA, WHICH IS AN EXISTING PROJECT JUST TO THE WEST, THAT CORE PROJECT RIGHT NOW HAS A DENSITY OF OVER 12 UNITS AN ACRE. SO WE WOULD POTENTIALLY BE A LITTLE BIT LESS.

SO ONCE AGAIN, OUR AVERAGE INDEPENDENT LIVING UNIT SIZE WOULD BE ABOUT 1300 SQUARE FEET.

AND THOSE HAVE GROWN OVER THE YEARS SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE AT GREYSTONE.

THE COTTAGE SIZES WOULD BE AROUND 1800-2200 SQUARE FEET AND THE TOTAL PROJECT WOULD BE OVER 300,000 SQUARE FEET, NOT INCLUDING UNDERGROUND PARKING. ONCE AGAIN, THE SITE ITSELF HAS A LOT OF FLOODPLAIN ON THE WEST SIDE, BUT WE PLAN TO EITHER DEDICATE RIGHT AWAY OR AN EASEMENT FOR A TRAIL THAT WOULD MEANDER ALONG THERE.

MATTER OF FACT, I THINK IT'S ON THE CITY'S PARK PLAN.

SO WE PLAN TO BUILD THAT AND USE THAT AS AN AMENITY.

ONCE AGAIN, THE PROJECT SEEKS TO PRESERVE AS MUCH OPEN SPACE AND TREES AS POSSIBLE.

THE SETBACKS WOULD BE MORE CONSISTENT WITH THE CURRENT ZONING.

THE MOST OF THE PARKING WOULD BE UNDERGROUND AND NOT ON SURFACE.

I KNOW THAT DAVIS IS ABOUT TO GO THROUGH A REDEVELOPMENT AND AN EXPANSION, AND SO WE LOOK TO COORDINATE WITH BOTH THE STAFF AND TXDOT TO MAKE SURE WE ALIGN WITH DRIVES AND MEDIANS.

AND I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF CONCERN ON ON TRAFFIC AS WELL.

AND I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THE TRIPS FROM OUR COMMUNITY ARE REALLY NOT THAT MUCH MORE THAN SINGLE FAMILY, AND THEY'RE MOSTLY CONFINED TO NON-PEAK HOURS. OUR RESIDENTS DO GET OUT AND TRAVEL SOME, BUT IT'S TYPICALLY AFTER THE MORNING RUSH HOUR AND BEFORE THE EVENING RUSH HOUR.

SO HERE IS THE SITE PLAN ITSELF.

AND ONCE AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THIS IS REALLY JUST A HIGH LEVEL CONCEPT.

WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING DEFINITIVE.

BUT I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT AS YOU SEE AROUND THE PERIPHERY, SO ONCE AGAIN, NORTH IS TO THE TO THE RIGHT HERE.

SO ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE OF THE COMMUNITY, WE HAVE IT RINGED WITH COTTAGES, SINGLE STOREY COTTAGES.

THERE'S SOME SINGLE FAMILY THAT'S JUST ON THE WEST SIDE OF THIS.

SO WE FEEL LIKE GIVEN THAT PROXIMITY, THAT THAT MAKES SENSE.

AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROJECT WE HAVE ON THE SOUTH SIDE KIND OF POINTING THERE WHERE THOSE CROSSES ARE.

THAT WOULD BE THE INDEPENDENT LIVING UNITS.

SO IT COULD BE TWO STOREYS, IT COULD BE THREE STORIES.

WE FEEL LIKE IF IT'S THREE STORIES IN THE BACK, THAT WE COULD BASICALLY CAMOUFLAGE IT WITH THE TWO STOREY ELEMENT ALONG DAVIS BOULEVARD.

SO ON THE NORTH SIDE IS A IS THE HEALTH CARE COMPONENT OF IT.

SO THAT WOULD HAVE THE ASSISTED LIVING AND MEMORY SUPPORT.

AND THEN IN THE MIDDLE IS THE COMMONS AREA THAT LINKS IT ALL TOGETHER.

ONCE AGAIN, WE'RE TRYING TO PARK MOST OF IT UNDERGROUND AND WE THINK IT'S AN EFFICIENT USE OF THIS SPACE.

WE HAVE SOMEBODY HERE AT GREYSTONE THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO OUTLINE SOME OTHER THINGS IF I'VE MISSED IT.

I DON'T HAVE ANY.

OK, VERY GOOD.

SO I'LL KIND OF WRAP UP HERE WITH JUST SOME SELECTED IMAGES OF SOME PROJECTS WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST OR CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS.

PRESBYTERIAN VILLAGE NORTH IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION AS PARTS OF IT HAVE COMPLETED.

THIS IS UP IN DALLAS.

ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A PROJECT IN PLANO I MENTIONED THAT'S IN CONSTRUCTION.

SOME RENDERINGS HERE.

ON THE BOTTOM SIDE THERE YOU'LL SEE ONE OF THE COTTAGES THAT'S PROPOSED THERE WILL BE BUILT.

[00:20:06]

HERE'S SOME OTHER PROJECTS AROUND THE COUNTRY.

MARY'S WOODS IS SOMETHING IN JUST OUTSIDE OF PORTLAND, OREGON.

STEVENSON OAKS IS A FORT WORTH COMMUNITY THAT OPENED ABOUT A YEAR AGO.

FLEET LANDING IS IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA, A FANTASTIC PROJECT THAT REALLY ACCENTUATES SOME OF THE AMENITIES THERE, SOME OF THE WATER VIEWS.

ONCE AGAIN, JUST KIND OF SHOWING YOU SOME EXTERIOR INTERIOR INTERIOR IMAGES.

JOHN KNOX VILLAGE IS IN KANSAS CITY.

SOME OF THE AMENITIES.

SO ONCE AGAIN, WE JUST TRY TO MAKE THESE VERY RESIDENTIAL AND TRY TO FIT IN AS MUCH AS WE CAN WITH THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS.

SO I WON'T GO THROUGH THE ZONING AND THE LAND USE MAP, BUT THAT'S THE CONCLUSION OF MY LITTLE PRESENTATION.

THIS ITEM IS NOW OPEN FOR DISCUSSION.

WE ASK THOSE WITH QUESTIONS.

PLEASE USE THE MICROPHONES IN THE AISLE SO THOSE WATCHING FROM HOME CAN HEAR.

OKAY. UH, I'M HAVING TROUBLE FIGURING OUT WHERE ON DAVIS YOU ARE.

OKAY. ARE YOU NORTH OF 1709? NO, NO, I'M SORRY. WE'RE SOUTH OF 1709.

SO THIS 1709 IS ALMOST WHERE YOU SEE THE WORD SITE AERIAL TAX MAP.

OKAY. SO WE'RE ON THE WEST SIDE OF DAVIS JUST A LITTLE BIT SOUTH OF 1709.

I THINK THERE'S MAYBE A SONIC THAT'S JUST NORTH OF THERE.

OKAY. WHAT ABOUT AT THE PREVIOUS ONE OR TWO PREVIOUS SPIN MEETINGS, THERE WAS ANOTHER PROPOSER PRESENTING IDEAS FOR A SIMILAR TYPE FACILITY SOUTH OF CONTINENTAL.

YOU'RE NORTH OF CONTINENTAL, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO BE WITHIN PROBABLY A MILE AND A HALF, CERTAINLY WITHIN TWO MILES OF ONE ANOTHER.

I DON'T SEE THAT IT MAKES SENSE TO HAVE TWO DIFFERENT FACILITIES THAT ARE BASICALLY LOOKING AT THE SAME CLIENTELE.

YEAH, YEAH, IT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

A GOOD POINT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'VE PROPOSED.

I'VE HAD HEARD A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT, BUT ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A CCRC TYPE OF CAMPUS NOT FOR PROFIT THAT'S GOING TO HAVE A DIFFERENT SET OF AMENITIES AND PROGRAMS THAT MAY BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM A STANDALONE PROJECT.

SO I CAN'T REALLY COMMENT ON WHAT THEY'RE DOING, BUT I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT.

AND THEN THE OTHER THING TO POINT OUT, GOING BACK TO THAT ORIGINAL MAP I SHOWED YOU WITH THE CONCENTRATION OF SENIORS IN THE AREA, THERE'S A LOT OF SENIORS IN THE AREA.

IT'D BE KIND OF SIMILAR TO TWO RESTAURANTS BEING DOWN THE STREET FROM EACH OTHER.

WELL, BOTH OF THEM COULD POTENTIALLY WORK OUT.

THERE'S ENOUGH CUSTOMERS IN THE MARKET.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. MOVING TO THE NEXT ONE, RICHARD COE IS HERE TO PRESENT OUR FINAL ITEM ON THE AGENDA THIS EVENING, WHICH IS SPIN 2023-07.

[4. SPIN2023-07 - An applicant is proposing a multi-tenant retail center on approximately 25.91- acres located at the southwest corner of State Highway 114 and W. Dove Rd. within SPIN Neighborhood #3. ]

HE'S PROPOSING A MULTI TENANT RETAIL CENTER ON APPROXIMATELY 25.91 ACRES LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF STATE HIGHWAY 114 AND DOVE ROAD WITHIN SPIN NEIGHBORHOOD.

NUMBER THREE, MY NAME IS RICK COE, AND I REPRESENT FIDELIS REALTY PARTNERS, WHO IN TURN REPRESENTS THE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY.

WE ACQUIRED THE PROPERTY IN 2015.

IT INITIALLY WAS ABOUT JUST OVER 55 ACRES.

WE TOOK THE EASTERN PART OF THE PROPERTY, 114 RUNS ALMOST NORTH SOUTH RIGHT THERE.

SO I CALL IT THE EASTERN PART OF THE PROPERTY.

30 ACRES HAD IT REZONED FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, WHICH IS NOW BEING DEVELOPED AS THIS SINGLE FAMILY MULTIMILLION DOLLAR HOMES CALLED THE METAIRIE.

AND SO WE FELT THAT THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT, EVEN THOUGH THE ENTIRE PROPERTY WAS ZONED FOR WITH A BROAD COMMERCIAL ZONING TO ALLOW EVERYTHING, INCLUDING HOTELS, OFFICE BUILDINGS, RETAIL, EVERYTHING BUT INDUSTRIAL.

WE FELT THAT WE NEEDED A BUFFER BETWEEN A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND THE THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE EAST NEIGHBORHOODS, HOODS TO THE EAST.

SO THAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED.

IT TOOK US ABOUT A YEAR TO GET IT REZONED.

THE BIGGEST STICKING POINT WAS THE NUMBER OF LOTS THAT THE DEVELOPER NEEDED TO MAKE THE DEAL WORK FOR HIM.
