UM I KNOW THAT WITH BOTH THIS AND THE NEXT ONE, THE NEXT , UM PUBLIC HEARING PART THAT MR MCCORMICK HAS BROUGHT, UM THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT WAS HOW MANY PEOPLE AND CARS THAT THIS WOULD BRING IN AND THAT IF WE CHANGED IT THAT HE WOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE THAT MUCH PARKING. BUT I DEFINITELY THINK I THINK IT'S A VERY GOOD IDEA TO HAVE IT. UM UM. AND TO HAVE HIM CHANGED THESE ZONING AND THAT PETERSBURG SHOULD FOLLOW RICHMOND AND NOT WORRY SO MUCH ABOUT THE PARKING THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BUILDINGS THAT WE HAVE. WE HAVE A PARKING STRUCTURE TODAY THAT I THINK SHOULD BE OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY, AND WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE THAT IS BEING BUILT. UM SUPPOSEDLY HERE SOON, AND I THINK THAT WE SHOULD ALLOW FOR THESE DEVELOPMENTS TO GO THROUGH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER HANDS IN THE PUBLIC HEARING. ALRIGHT SEEING NOTHING. JUST PROBABLY HEARING HIS CLOTHES, MR MCCORMICK. STEP
[00:05:02]
ON UP. HOW YOU DOING TODAY? DOING GREAT. THANKS FOR HAVING ME GREAT GREAT MEMBERS OF COUNCIL I'M DAVE MCCORMACK TO 45. EAST BANK, ST PETERSBURG. AND, UM THIS PARTICULAR BUILDING THAT THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT I APPRECIATE IT'S UH, IT'S IT IS PARKING CONSTRAINED, AND BUT I THINK THAT'S JUST ONE OF ITS ONE SHORTCOMING AMONG MANY MARRIAGE. UM IS THAT REALLY PRETTY BUILDING THAT MAX TILE FOLKS HAVE MOVED OUT? THEY FOUND IT TO BE OBSOLETE FOR THEIR MANUFACTURING. USES AND HAVE MOVED DOWN TO ANCHOR. UM THE WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS WORK UNDER THE STANDARDS OF THE, UM DEPARTMENT, HISTORIC RESOURCES AND NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AND DO THIS PROJECT THAT WAS AS WE HAVE HAD DONE MANY IN TOWN INTO APARTMENTS AND THEN PRESERVE THE COMMERCIAL SPACE ON THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. UM THERE. YOU KNOW, I THE PARKING QUESTION IS REALLY ONE THAT I FEEL IS REALLY MORE PHILOSOPHICAL AND CITYWIDE VERSUS THIS. SPECIFICALLY THIS PROJECT. THERE'S IF WE'RE TO GROW AS A CITY, I THINK WE'RE GONNA CONFRONT THIS QUESTION.OVER A LONG TERM AND NOT JUST AROUND THIS THIS PROJECT SO I FEEL THAT THERE'S LOTS OF PLACES PEOPLE COULD PARKING, PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. THERE'S ALL SORTS OF ALTERNATIVES, AND I REALLY BELIEVE AS THE OWNER AND DEVELOPER THIS PROJECT THAT THAT ULTIMATELY WILL COME DOWN TO MORE OF A MARKETING ISSUE, AND ONE THAT I FEEL CERTAIN WILL BE OVERCOME BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT TO BE HERE IN THE CITY. SO I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT. WE'RE GOING TO DO IT TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS THAT WE HAVE HAVE DONE ARE ALL THE REST OF OUR THINGS AND IN TOWN AND I APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT. OKAY? THANK YOU, UM. MR CORMACK K. COULD YOU TELL THE AUDIENCE, PLEASE ABOUT THE BUT YOU'RE AGASSI RATES AND ALL THE OTHER PROPERTIES IS DOWN THERE BECAUSE I'VE HEARD OF THE NEED OF MORE. UM APARTMENTS IN THE AREA, AND MOST OF THEM ARE FULL OF A LOT OF PEOPLE TRYING TO GET IN DOWN THERE IF YOU'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING THAT HIGH DEMAND WE, YOU KNOW FOR THE APARTMENTS THAT SORRY UM FOR THE APARTMENTS THAT WE OWN DOWN ON EAST BANK STREET. OUR OCCUPANCY IS VERY HIGH. UM WE HAVE ABOUT 400 APARTMENTS IN TOWN, YOU KNOW, REMEMBER WHEN WE FIRST DID THE MAIN TRANSFER LAWSUIT IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE AND THE QUESTION WAS, WOULD ANYONE MOVED DOWN HERE AT ALL? UM THAT WAS A REAL BIG QUESTION. AT THE TIME THE RENTS WERE LOW, AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO GET THINGS FINANCE , BUT THAT WAS BACK IN 2006, AND SINCE THEN THERE'S BEEN REALLY SEVERAL 1000 APARTMENTS THAT HAVE COME TO TOWN AND PETERSBURG IS REALLY IN SO MANY WAYS TURNED OVER. A LEAF IN A WAY THAT PEOPLE ANNOUNCE A VERY DESIRABLE PLACE TO BE RENT IN RICHMOND ARE CRAZY. PEOPLE ARE TURNING TO PETERSBURG AS A SLIGHTLY CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE TO THAT THAT WE'RE STILL SEEING OUR OCCUPANCY RATES REALLY PUSHED 100% AND SAID, DEMAND IS THERE. THERE'S A QUESTION ABOUT. YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW REALLY BACK TO THIS PARKING QUESTION. THERE'S REALLY QUESTION ABOUT NOW ABOUT GETTING THAT DENSITY SUCH THAT THE BUSINESS BECAUSE BUSINESSES CAN REALLY BENEFIT FROM THAT DENSITY , AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE PUSHING FOR YEARS. MORE PEOPLE LIVING DOWNTOWN SUPPORTING THE BUSINESSES THAT RETAIL ETCETERA UM, SO WE'VE HAD VERY GOOD SUCCESS HERE, AND IT'S AN AMAZING TIME TO BE DOING DEVELOPMENTS LIKE THIS WHEN PEOPLE REALLY WANT TO LIVE IN THIS PLACE AND SHOWS THE SUCCESS OF THE CITY OVERALL. OKAY? RIGHT THANK YOU. QUESTIONS. TALISMAN COVER BIRTH. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR . IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU YOU TO THINK THIS IS A WONDERFUL PROJECT AND TOTALLY SUPPORTIVE OF IT. HMM. YOU WERE. EMPHASIZING OR POINTING OUT THE IMPORTANCE OF INCREASING THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS IN DOWNTOWN PETERSBURG. AH THAT ARE RENTING MARKET RATE APARTMENTS. AND I THINK YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. UM, OF COURSE I WOULD. OH, I THINK OF IT IN TERMS OF CRITICAL MASS. AND I THINK YOU'RE BUILDING THAT CRITICAL MASS AND IT BENEFITS DOWNTOWN. UH IN IMPORTANT WAYS. THERE'S ONE QUESTION I HAVE, AND THAT IS ABOUT THE USE OF THE FIRST FLOOR . YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THERE WOULD BE COMMERCIAL ON THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHAT? WHERE DOES THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING AND WHAT WOULD ELSE WOULD BE ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF THAT BUILDING? I'M GLAD THAT YOU ASKED. UM THIS QUESTION . WE THE REASON I WANTED TO ZONE THIS IS A P U D IS VERSUS A B THREE IS MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT THE YOU KNOW THAT FIRST FLOOR IS IT'S HARD TO SAY IT'S A BIG MANUFACTURING BUILDING. SO THE MAX TILE ART USED ABOUT I'M
[00:10:08]
GONNA SAY 10,000 FT OF THAT FIRST FLOOR. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WERE NOT RESTRICTED TO THE ENTIRE FOOTPRINT, HAVING TO CONVERT THAT SO A RETAIL SO BECAUSE 20 THE BUILDINGS 44,000 SQUARE FEET, SO IF WE THEORETICALLY DID EVERYTHING COMMERCIAL ON THE FIRST FLOOR, WE WOULD HAVE A 22,000 SQUARE FOOT. COMMERCIAL RETAIL SPACE, WHICH DOES NOT REALLY MAKE ANY SENSE. SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS TRY TO FIGURE OUT USING THAT PD ZONING HOW TO MAKE HOW TO KEEP RETAIL ON THE FIRST FLOOR, BUT MAKE IT SUCH THAT IT'S MARKETABLE IN TERMS OF THE IT'S THAT STREET FRONTAGE. WE HAVE AS YOU GO THROUGH TO THE BACK IT REALLY JUST IT'S ALL ZERO LOT LINES. IT'S THE ALLEY AND WHATNOT. SO THERE'S NO REAL OTHER PLACE TO END. ENTER THAT FROM A RETAIL. COMPONENTS SO. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT IN TERMS OF. YOU KNOW HOW BIG THAT THAT, UM, THAT RETAIL RESIDUAL SPACE IS GOING TO BE. I DO WANT TO PUT APARTMENTS ON THE FIRST FLOOR BUT IN THE REAR OF THE BUILDING AND THAT WE CAN MAXIMIZE THE DENSITY THERE. WELL WHAT IS THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE FIRST FLOOR AND WHAT PORTION OF THAT TOTAL. AH! SQUARE FOOTAGE OR YOU. DO YOU INTEND TO AH, DEVOTE TO COMMERCIAL. SO I WOULD LIKE TO THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE FIRST HORSE 22,000 FT. THERE'S ONLY TWO FLOORS AND THE TOTAL OF THE BUILDINGS 44,000. SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS RESERVED I WOULD SAY UNDER 10,002 COMMERCIAL USE OF THAT FIRST FLOOR IN SOME CAPACITY, BUT HAVE THAT BE FLEXIBLE, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A RETAIL TENANT IN THAT FIRST ONE. WE MAY ABLE TO BRING SOMEBODY IN AND HAVE THEM USE, SAY FLEX OFFICE. ON THE FIRST FLOOR BEHIND THAT, SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CREATING A SCENARIO WHERE WE COULD BE FLEXIBLE ON THE COMMERCIAL BUT NOT HAVE TO HAVE 22,000 FT OF IT BECAUSE COMMERCIAL WELL, I UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR FLEXIBILITY AND I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DON'T WANT 22 SQUARE FEET OF WHY IT'S LIKELY NOT MARKETABLE. THEY HAVE 22,000 SQUARE FEET. OF APARTMENTS ON THE FIRST FLOOR, BUT YOUR PAPERWORK DOES NOT SPECIFY. UH HOW MUCH OF THAT FIRST FLOOR IS GOING TO BE, UH, COMMERCIAL, AND I FEEL A LITTLE UNEASY WITH THAT BEING LEFT LOOSEY GOOSEY UNDEFINED. YEAH AND ALSO YOU SAY THERE WOULD BE, UH, THE COMMERCIAL WOULD BE UNDER 10,000 SQUARE FEET. WELL THERE ARE A LOT OF NUMBERS THAT ARE UNDER 10,000 SQUARE FEET. I'M I AGREE WITH YOU. I'M NOT. I'M HAPPY TO AH TO SET THAT NUMBER. UM BECAUSE WE DON'T I'M A BIG BELIEVER IN THE PRESERVING THAT THAT, UH, RETAIL STOREFRONT, SO I REALLY FEEL THAT IT NEEDS TO BE A DECENT SIZE. I DON'T WANT TO RESTRICT IT DOWN TO 500 SQUARE. YOU KNOW SOMETHING SMALL. WE WANT TO MAKE A NICE, MARKETABLE USEFUL. SPACE OR MAYBE THREE THERE SO IF WE NEED TO SET A NUMBER. I'M I'M REALLY HAPPY TO DO. THAT'S WHAT WE INTEND TO DO. WELL I DON'T WANT TO DELAY THINGS. ON THE OTHER HAND, I THINK WE'VE GOT TO HAVE A NUMBER. CAN YOU? CAN YOU TELL US A NUMBER? I MEAN, JUST YEAH. I MEAN, IF WE I THINK IF WE SAID 10,000, THAT WOULD WORK FOR ME. WE COULD KEEP IT JUST 10 AND, UH, NOT GO OVER THAT. I THINK THAT WOULD WORK GREAT AND NOT NOT GO UNDER THAT NOT GO OVER THAT, SO I WOULDN'T SAY. 10,000 WOULD BE OUR COMMERCIAL. OPPONENT. SO AND THEN THE BALANCE WOULD BE IN RESIDENTIAL SO I YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHERE MISUNDERSTANDINGS TAKE PLACE AND I DON'T WANT TO MISUNDERSTANDING . ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU WILL DEVOTE 10,000 SQUARE FEET ON THE FIRST FLOOR TO COMMERCIAL YES, YES. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T SET IT AS LIKE ONE TENANT BEING 10 WE WANT NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, IT'S CERTAINLY NOT AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, BUT I KNOW WELL, THAT'S GREAT. I MEAN, 10,000 IF YOU DO THAT. HOORAY! I KNOW. YOU YOU KNOW WHERE GLENN AND JEANS SO IN FACTORY USED TO BE? WELL I WALKED BY THERE EVERY DAY, AND SOMETIMES I HEAR A DOG BARKING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GLASS.OKAY, YOU KNOW THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO AVOID. AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO SEE YOU AVOID. OKAY WELL, I'M I'M HAPPY. I DON'T KNOW HOW WE MEMORIALIZE THE 10,000 SQUARE FEET AND SOME KIND OF AN ENFORCEABLE WAY. BUT MAYBE MR WILLIAMS WILL HAVE SOME THOUGHTS ON THAT. WE HAVEN'T ANOTHER WE WANT TO CHAMP CHARMING ON THAT VICE MAYOR HILL. YES, UM WE'RE JUST TALKING
[00:15:04]
ABOUT THE BOTTOM FLOOR, RIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT. RETAIL SPACE, RIGHT? MHM I DON'T WANT TO LOCK YOU INTO 10,000 FT. AT ALL. I MEAN, IF YOU WANT YOUR BOTTOM FLOOR, I BELIEVE TO BE RETAIL SPACE AND THE OTHER FLOORS TO BE RESIDENTIAL I DON'T SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH THAT. BECAUSE WITH THE WITH THE PEOPLE AT THE BOTTOM FLOOR, THEY'RE GONNA BE COMING AND GOING SO THEIR CALLS WON'T BE THERE LONG ANYWAY. YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU'RE CANO. TURN YOURSELF INTO A BOX. NOW, YOU MAY GO UP TO 10,000 FT. BUT IF YOU PROTEST IMMOLATION ON IT, YOU KNOW ME AND THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS WERE TALKING DOWN HERE AND WE'RE FINE WITH IT. AND I UNDERSTAND, UH, ALL DUE RESPECT TO COUNSELING COUPLER. AH THEY DID YOU WANT TO A CERTAIN NUMBER? BUT WE WANT YOUR BUSINESS TO BE SUCCESSFUL. SO IF YOU FEEL LIKE THAT'S WHAT YOU WANNA DO, THEN FINE, BUT UM OH, I WOULD SAY IF YOUR BOTTOM FLOOR BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANY RETAIL DOWNSTAIRS. ON THE BOTTOM FLOOR, AND THEN YOU HAVE RESIDENTS DOWNSTAIRS. I MEAN, THAT'S THAT CAN BE KIND OF CONVOLUTED AT TIMES, SO IF YOU WANT TO UH, I'M NOT IN FAVOR TO 10,000. YOU KNOW, 10,000 SQUARE FEET, BUT IF YOU WANT TO USE THE WHOLE THING THAT WAY. WHAT IS YOUR YOUR VISION RIGHT NOW? WHAT WAS YOUR VISION SHARE? YOUR VISION CHARLIE OF MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S NOT RESIDENCES RIGHT UP ON THE STREET THAT THAT NOBODY WANTS THAT, AND THAT'S A BAD OUTCOME FROM THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING. AND SO, UM SO, UH, BUT THAT BEING SAID, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN PUT BEHIND THE COMMERCIAL COMPONENT STILL BE ABLE TO FILL THE BACK END OF THIS BUILDING WITH RESIDENTS.OKAY, SO THAT'S YOUR THAT'S YOUR VISION TO DO THE FRONT END WITH RETAIL AND THEN DO THE BACK END WORTH, UH, RESIDENTIAL EXACTLY SO, SO YOU KNOW THAT THAT BEING SAID, I APPRECIATE THAT, YOU KNOW, WORKING, MAYBE WITHOUT A RESTRICTION, BUT AT THE SAME TIME IN IN THE SPIRIT OF THE THING, AND MAYBE THAT'S WHAT SOME MEMORIALIZATION NEEDS TO HAPPEN, WHICH I WOULD PREFER THAT WE BECAUSE EVEN IF I'M THE STEWARD OF THIS BUILDING, AND IT GOES ON BEYOND ME, NOBODY WANTS THE OKAY RESIDENTIAL. IF YOU'RE FINE WITH IT, THEN FINE. SO THAT'S ALL I REALLY THINK.
COMMERCIAL IS IMPORTANT DOWNTOWN , SO I'M HAPPY TO, UH, YOU KNOW, TO BUILD IT INTO THIS PROJECT AND SUPPORT IT, I THINK UM, THERE'S THIS IS A BIG BUILDING, AND THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY FOR AND I KNOW THERE'S A NEED FOR OFFICE AND THINGS LIKE THAT . WE HAVE CALLS FOR THAT ALL THE TIME, SO I WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT HERE, AND THAT'S AND THE PLACE TO DO. THAT REALLY IS IN THAT.
THAT UPFRONT SPACE AND KIND OF, YOU KNOW, HONESTLY PRESERVE. WHAT APPOMATTOX TOWEL CINDY AND SEAN HAVE DONE. IT'S A REALLY PRETTY AND I HATE THE THOUGHT OF DEMOLISHING ANY OF THAT STUFF, SO I THINK IT'LL BE BE GREAT TO DO IT AND PRESERVE IT. I'M YOU KNOW, KIND OF GUESSING THAT 10 IS PROBABLY ABOUT RIGHT. BUT BUT REALIZING THAT COMMERCIAL FRONT IS WHAT I WANT TO DO ANYWAY, SO OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT, UM, COUNCILOR QUESTION MOTION ON THE FLOOR. OKAY ALL RIGHT BEFORE THE MOTION. LET ME TALK WITH MY MR WILLIAMS. SURE WELL, I WAS JUST GONNA SAY WITH WITHOUT DELAYING THIS. I DON'T KNOW THERE'S A WAY TO PUT TEETH INTO THE CITY'S ABILITY TO ENFORCE IT. SO I THINK YOU KNOW, MR MCCORMICK HAS BEEN A DEVELOPER IN THIS CITY FOR SOME TIME AND HIS REPRESENTATION ON THE RECORD IN THE COUNCIL MINUTES MAY SUFFICE FOR MEMBERS TO EITHER SUPPORT OR OR VOTE AGAINST IT. BUT IF THE IDEA IS TO MAKE SOMETHING LEGALLY ENFORCEABLE THAT WE CAN GO AFTER HIM IF HE DOESN'T COMPLY WITH WE'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO DO THAT SITTING HERE TODAY. UM AT THIS MEETING, SO, I YOU KNOW IF I THINK IF YOU WANT TO RELY ON AS REPRESENTATIONS WITH I THINK YOU CERTAINLY COULD, UM, YOU CAN VOTE ON IT, AND THE MINUTES WOULD BE WHAT YOU WOULD USE. YES AND KNOWING THE TRACK RECORD, THIS IS NO STRANGER TO THE CITY OF PETERSBURG. SO, UM YOU KNOW, WE APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU DO BACK TO COUNCILOR COMPANY. WANT TO FOLLOW UP? QUESTION TO? YES, UH WE GOT TO THINK LONG TERM AND NEITHER MR MCCORMACK KNOWS WILL BE HERE FOREVER, OKAY? AND I THINK THAT PROBABLY GOES TO EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM. SO UH, YOU KNOW WHEN IT IF AND WHEN OR WHEN THE TIME COMES THAT MR MCCORMACK NO LONGER OWNS THAT BUILDING. AND THEN WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT WHAT'S TO KEEP THE NEXT OWNER IN THE SEQUENCE. IN IN THE CHAIN OF OWNERSHIP. WHAT'S TO KEEP HIM FROM PUTTING AH! THOMAS. IT'S AT THE STREET FRONT. UM. SO HOW DO WE HOW DO WE I MEAN, I'M CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO MR CURSON DOWN, BUT I
[00:20:10]
THINK WE GOT TO THINK LONG TERM. BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE PROBLEMS UH , SOMETIMES ARISE, MR EFFORT.OH, COUNSELOR, CUTHBERT. ZONING IS ALREADY BEEN CHANGED TO REFLECT NO RESIDENCY ON THE FIRST FLOORS. THAT'S TRUE, BUT THIS IS A P U D THAT IS NOT GONNA BE GOVERNED BY THAT RESTRICTION, RIGHT? BUT THEY STILL HAVE TO COME BEFORE COUNCIL IN ORDER TO DO SO. THEY HAD STILL HAVE TO HAVE SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO DO SO. UH HUH. I DON'T KNOW, EVEN IF THEY COME BACK IN THE FUTURE, THE NEXT COUNCIL CAN OVERRIDE WHAT YOU PRESENT WITH YOU PROVIDE TODAY.
I THINK THAT'S EXACTLY I MEAN, IT'S SORT OF TREATING IT AS IT'S SOME SORT OF PROPER CONDITION OF HIS P U D, WHICH YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE WRITTEN INTO THE DOCUMENTS BEFORE YOU ADOPTED.
THAT'S WHY I SAID, I DON'T THINK WE COULD DO THIS HERE TODAY. YOU HAVE TO YOU KNOW VERN ON THE NEXT MEETING, SO WE CAN MAKE SURE WE HAD IT WRITTEN UP PROPERLY OR AGAIN. YOU KNOW, HE'S INDICATED THAT THAT IS INTENT. LIKE SAID TODAY, THE LEAST IN THE TIME I'VE BEEN HERE, I DON'T KNOW THAT HE'S NOT DONE WHAT HE'S REPRESENTATIVES GOING TO DO. UM MR MCCORMICK.
MR. MAYOR. MAY I? AH MR MCCORMACK. WE ARE AT THE AH! END OF APRIL. WE GOT ANOTHER MEETING ON MAY THE WHATEVER THAT FIRST TUESDAY IS IN MAY. UM. WHO WOULD IT INTERFERE WITH YOUR PLANS? IF WE, UH, TABLE THIS UNTIL THAT, THAT FIRST MEETING IN MAY AND IN THE EDIBLE YOU WORKED WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PERFECT THE PROFFER OR THE DOCUMENT THAT WOULD APPLY NOT ONLY TO YOU, BUT TO BUT TO BUT TO FUTURE OWNERS, UH DOWN THE CHAIN OF OWNERSHIP WITH THAT MESS YOU UP IN ANY WAY WELL, IT WOULDN'T BUT I AM WONDERING CAN I WONDER ABOUT THAT? UM COULD WE DO IT IN A WAY ? I WOULD LOVE TO GET THIS ZONING AND MAYBE HOME THAT AS PART OF OUR SITE PLAN, SUBMISSION OR I'M THINKING ABOUT HOW TO MAYBE SOLVE THAT IN A WAY WHERE WE COULD DO THAT, UM AS PART OF OUR PLANS PRESENTATION, YOU KNOW, JUST THINKING ABOUT A WAY TO KIND OF LAYER THIS LAYER THAT IN UM I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS, BUT JUST I'M JUST THINKING ABOUT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING FOR ALL THE BUILDINGS WE HAD TO DO. UM LIKE WE DID ADD DEMOLITION.
COFFEE IS A GREAT EXAMPLE. YOU KNOW, THAT BUILDING IS, UM I THINK THE TOTAL WAS LIKE 9000 FT, AND WE PRESERVED TOO. AND WE DIDN'T. WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT. I THINK THAT WASN'T THAT BUILDING WAS KIND OF WIDE OPEN P D TYPE THING TO UM, BUT WHEN WE PRESENTED THOSE PLANS, I THINK.
I DON'T KNOW HOW AT THE TIME IT'S BEEN 13 YEARS, BUT WE SOLVED THAT AT THAT TIME. MARCH.
I DON'T MAYBE I DON'T. I'M TRYING TO THINK WHAT WE DID THERE, BUT AH! KIND OF THINKING ALONG THOSE TERMS WHEN YOU SUBMITTED YOUR PLANS FOR PLAYING REVIEW ON YOUR BUILDING RENOVATION. YOU DESIGNATED A CERTAIN PORTION OF THAT AS COMMERCIAL SPACE. MM HMM. WHEN WE APPROVE THOSE PLANS, WE APPROVE THOSE PLANS ON THE CONDITION THAT THIS THIS AMOUNT OF SQUARE FOOTAGE SHOWN ON YOUR PLANS FOR COMMERCIAL AND THIS AMOUNT OF SQUARE FOOTAGE IS SHOWN FOR RESIDENTIAL AH, YOU KNOW THAT. MAYBE I WAS ALSO WONDERING, I MEAN, IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE COULDN'T DO UP HERE OR WE DO HAVE TO RELY ON YOU AND YOU COULD POTENTIALLY PUT A DEED RESTRICTION ON THE PROPERTY WITH REGARD TO THE AMOUNT OF COMMERCIAL SPACE THAT YOU'D HAVE, UM, BUT YOU KNOW, SHORT OF COMING BACK. THERE MAY BE A WAY TO DO IT. THAT WE DO IS TO HAVE TO THINK IT THROUGH A LITTLE BIT TO SEE HOW WE COULD TIE THAT DOWN. YEAH, I MEAN, LIKE, UM YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW. HONESTLY. GOD I DON'T KNOW HOW THOSE PLANS GOT PAST WHERE THE ON SYCAMORE WITH THAT APARTMENTS ARE UP FRONT. BUT, YOU KNOW UH, THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN IDEAS FINE . IT JUST WOULDN'T BUY IT. FUTURE PURCHASERS AS COUNCILMAN CUTHBERT IS SAYING HE WANTS TO DO I THINK YOU'D HAVE TO. AS THE MANAGER MAY HAVE SUGGESTED, DO IT IN THE DEED, OR EITHER DO IT AS SOME KIND OF A CONDITIONER. PROFIT FOR THE REZONING, WHICH I DON'T SEE US BEING ABLE TO DO.
TONIGHT. YEAH I MEAN, IF THERE'S SOMETHING WE CAN DO AFTER THAT WOULD BE THAT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL TO ME. AND THEN WE COULD JUST KIND OF GET DOWN TO THE BUSINESS. PART OF THAT THING VERSUS THE BIGGER ZONING QUESTION. OKAY? ALRIGHT BACK TO COUNCILOR MYERS. YES, SIR. MR
[00:25:06]
MAYOR. UM. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE PETITION TO REZONE THE PROPERTY LOCATED 1 13 WAS BANK STREET FROM M ONE TO PUT OKAY? VICE MAYOR HILL MOTION TO SECOND. NEXT AT THIS TIME. IF THERE'S NO MORE DISCUSSION, MADAM CLERK, CAN YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL? COUNCILOR MECHANICSBURG REMEMBER JONES. UH, COUNCIL MEMBERS, SMITH LEE. COUNCIL MEMBER MYERS COUNCIL MEMBER WESTBROOK, MARY HILL. ALRIGHT, PRIME PAST MR DAVE APPRECIATE THAT, UM, SOMETHING AND YES, AND JUST JUST WANT TO, UM, THANK YOU, DAVE, BECAUSE YOU REALLY PUT THE BAR. FOR THE BRAND HERE OF GROWTH DOWN HERE IN PETERSBURG. I KNOW YOU TOOK SOME SOME SERIOUS CHANCES EARLY ON WHEN PEOPLE DOUBTED IN THE BRAND OF PETERSBURG BUT I JUST WANT TO ALWAYS THANK YOU FOR BEING ONE OF THE FIRST TO MAKE THAT FIRST STEP AND INVESTING IN OUR DOWNTOWN. ALL RIGHT. RIGHT COUNSELOR COVER UM, MR ALTMAN IN THE FUTURE, WOULD YOU PLEASE ASK STAFF TO ANTICIPATE PROBLEMS LIKE THIS AND ADDRESS THEM BEFORE? THE PAPERWORK GETS TO COUNSEL. I MEAN, THIS WAS FORESEEABLE. I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS FORESEEABLE. I MEAN, INDIVIDUALLY. A MEMBER OF COUNCIL HAD CONCERN THE ISSUE BECOMES SO IF. AND IF WE WERE TO DO SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE, SO SAY A PROFIT STATEMENT. WE CAN'T ASK FOR THAT. MR MCCORMICK OR THE AFRICAN HAS TO OFFER THAT ON THEIR OWN, SO WE HAVE TO WORK THROUGH THAT AS A SET OF CONDITIONS COMING FORWARD. WHAT WE CAN DO IS IF MR MCCORMICK IS SO INCLINED. HE COULD COME AND ASKED TO HAVE HIS REZONING, WHICH WAS APPROVED, NOW AMENDED AND ADD A PROPERTY STATEMENT TO IT. TO ADDRESS THE 10,000 SQUARE FOOT ISSUE. BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING FROM ANY MEMBER OF COUNCIL REGARDING HAVE ANY SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF RETAIL OR COMMERCIAL SPACE RESERVE. I THINK IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT UNLESS WE HEAR THAT IN THE I HAVE WORK SESSION AND ARENA OR JUST THAT PERSON PRESENTED TO US INDIVIDUALLY. MR WILLIAMS, IS THAT ACCURATE THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO ADDRESS THIS UP FRONT.AND I GUESS THAT'S THE WHAT HE'S TRYING TO SAY IS HE NEEDS TO KNOW THAT IT'S AN ISSUE AND HAS TO HEAR IT FROM ALL THE MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. IF ONE MEMBER SAYS I WOULD LIKE X, HE CAN'T GO OUT AND TRY TO NEGOTIATE FOR THAT X WHEN THE OTHER MEMBERS HAVEN'T EXPRESSED THE SAME CONCERN.
WELL, I'M BREATHLESS. I MEAN, WE . WE HAVE THIS LIMITATION IN B TWO AREAS NAIL FOR A REASON. AND WE THE REASON IS THAT WE WANT TO KEEP RETAIL AND OFFICE USED AS ALIVE AS WE CAN. AND DOWNTOWN PETERSBURG. THAT'S WHY CITY COUNCIL ADOPTED THE RESTRICTION ON UH HUH. USE OF. APARTMENTS IN B TWO AND B THREE ON THE FIRST FLOOR. OH, I AND WE'VE GOT A YOU KNOW, A PLANNING STAFF. WE'VE GOT A CITY MANAGER WITH A OF BACKGROUND IN PLANNING. AND WE'VE GOT THIS. PROVISION. ON THE BOOKS AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS THE KIND OF THING THAT STAFF SHOULD ADDRESS. AND BRING THE COUNCIL FIND IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO. OSCARS BUT ASK US AHEAD OF TIME THEY ANSWER WOULD I SUSPECT HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT IF WE HAD HAD THIS IN ADVANCE TO TALK ABOUT? SO UM WE CAN ONE, I WOULD SAY. YES YOU HAVE A PLANNING STAFF AND YOU HAVE A CITY MANAGER WITH A GREAT DEAL OF PLANNING EXPERIENCE, HOWEVER, NOT KNOWING WHAT AN INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBERS PREFERENCES ON A PARTICULAR CASE, NOT KNOWING THAT IN ADVANCE. WE CAN'T ADDRESS IT IN ADVANCE. WE HEARD IT TONIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND THEREFORE WE CAN'T HAVE A WE CAN'T COERCE A PROPER STATEMENT.
FROM AN APPLICANT AT THE PODIUM . PROPER STATEMENTS HAVE TO BE OFFERED BY AN INDIVIDUAL APPLICANT. AT THEIR OWN AT THEIR OWN WILL MEAN WE CAN NEGOTIATE ISSUES AS WE SEE ISSUES COME UP.
SO IF WE'RE CONTACTED BY A MEMBER OF COUNCIL THAT HAS AN ISSUE WE CAN SUGGEST TO THE PROPERTY OWNER THAT THE APPLICANT THIS IS CONCERNED THAT MAY NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. WE HAVE A SOLUTION THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD HERE NOW. THE ISSUE ISN'T B TO THE ISSUE IS THE APPLICANT REQUESTED A REZONING TO PLANE UNIT DEVELOPMENT, WHICH ALLOWS MORE FLEXIBILITY. AND
[00:30:04]
THEY'VE INDICATED THAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO COMMERCIAL AND I AGREE. COMMERCIAL SPACE AND OFFICE SPACE IN OUR DOWNTOWN IS CRITICAL TO OUR CONTINUED GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT TO HAVE JOBS AND SPACE, BUT IN THIS INSTANCE AT NO POINT IN TIME UNTIL TONIGHT, WAS I AWARE THAT ANY MEMBER OF COUNCIL WANTED TO HAVE A SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF SQUARE FOOTAGE RESERVED SO IT'S HARD FOR US TO ADDRESS THAT ISSUE WHEN WE DON'T KNOW IN ADVANCE. NOW IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE AND CHANGE THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO REQUIRE A CERTAIN AMOUNT AS YOU DO WITH B TWO TO HAVE PRESERVATION OF THAT, BUT AGAIN, HE WAS NOT RESIGNING TO BE TOO. HE'S REZONED INTO PLAYING UNIT DEVELOPMENT, WHICH ALLOWS FOR FLEXIBILITY. SO YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO WORK THROUGH THOSE ISSUES WITH HIM IF WE WANT TO HAVE A POLICY THROUGH OUR DOWNTOWN PLANNING PROCESS THAT SAYS WE WANT TO SEE MIXED USE THAT REQUIRES A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF COMMERCIAL IS PART OF ANY REQUEST, THEN THAT'S THE PLACE TO DO IT. SO WE KNOW THAT THEN THERE'S A POLICY THAT COMES FROM THAT PLAN THAT WE CAN THEN CREATE THROUGH THE ZONING ON IT SO WE CAN IMPLEMENT OKAY, WELL, WE ALREADY HAVE THE POLICY AND COUNCIL ADOPTED THE POLICY SOMETIME AGO, AND I DON'T THINK IT'S RIGHT TO TRY TO MARGINALIZE MY COMMENTS AND MARGINALIZED ME BY SAYING THIS IS JUST THE VIEW OF ONE COUNCIL MEMBER COUNCIL PASSED THAT ORDINANCE SOMETIME AGO FOR A REASON. RIGHT COUNSELOR. YOU OR MARGINALIZING THE COMMENT. THIS IS A PARDON ME FOR A MOMENT, MAYOR. I DON'T MEAN TO BUT MY UNDERSTANDING AND PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG FROM THE BODY, THE POLICY THAT'S MENTIONED ADDRESSES BEAT TOO. THE REQUEST THIS EVENING WASN'T TO REZONE IT BE TO THE REQUESTER, ARIZONA PLAYING UNIT DEVELOPMENT. TO THE POLICY DOESN'T APPLY BECAUSE IT'S A DIFFERENT ZONING DISTRICT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARITY, MR OLDMAN, AND AS WE'RE[2b.
