Conduct a Public Hearing and consider and act upon a request to amend Planned Development-69 to allow for a seasonal storage container for a Big Box Retail store on 70.9± acres, located on the southeast corner of Frontier Parkway and Dallas Parkway. (ZONE-25-0011) Mr. Hill presented Item 4 to the Commission. Blake Beeson with H-E-B and Drew Donosky of Claymoore Engineering presented the proposal to the Commission detailing the reasons for the request. Commissioner Jackson asked about other storage containers utilized by big box retailers within the Town. Mr. Hoover clarified that the storage containers were permitted on occasion through Special Event permits rather than being permitted through zoning entitlements. Commissioner Blanscet stated that H-E-B had an existing storage container on -site that was not in compliance with Town regulations. Mr. Beeson stated that the reason for the request was to get the storage container on -site in compliance. Commissioner Blanscet asked if the storage container would be screened so it is not visible from any major streets. Mr. Beeson stated that there was an existing screening wall to the south and minimal visibility from adjacent thoroughfares. Commissioner Hamilton inquired about the storage containers not being accounted for in the initial planning of the store's design. Mr. Beeson stated that the containers will be considered in the design for future stores. Commissioners Blanscet and Furay inquired about the possibility of expanding the store to remove the need for the storage containers. Mr. Beeson stated that the containers were more economically feasible than expansion of the store. Commissioner Furay asked if the Town had received similar requests for seasonal storage containers. Mr. Hoover replied that Special Event permits had been granted for similar storage containers; however, none were permitted through zoning entitlements. Commissioner Furay made a motion to deny Item 4. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Butler. The motion was denied unanimously by a vote of 6-0. 5. Conduct a Public Hearing to consider the adoption of a Unified Development Code, which encompasses amendments to Building Regulations, Business Regulations, Fire Prevention and Protection codes, Health and Sanitation codes, the Subdivision Regulation, Utilities standards, the Zoning Ordinance, Engineering Design Standards, and Definitions. (ZONE-25-0014) Page 2 of 4 Mr. Hill presented Item 5 to the Commission. Ryan Slattery and Abdul Ghous with Freese and Nichols presented the proposed Unified Development Code highlighting updates and substantial changes. Commissioner Blanscet inquired about the 500-foot restriction of mobile food trucks in proximity to residential homes and its potential impact on their ability to serve construction workers building residential homes or neighborhood events. Mr. Hoover stated that the regulation needed to be reviewed more as it had to comply with state regulations regarding mobile food trucks. Commissioner Blanscet inquired about whether the prohibition of "jellyfish" outdoor lighting would result in the prohibition of seasonal Christmas lights. Mr. Hoover explained it would be beneficial to remove this language from the proposed code for now and bring it back to the Commission later with more specificity. Commissioner Blanscet noted that the regulations pertaining to accessory buildings needed additional language that clarified that they could not be utilized for short-term rentals or commercial purposes. Mr. Hoover concurred and stated that this would be addressed. Commissioner Blanscet requested clarification on the proposed point -based system. Mr. Ghous explained that exceeding typical requirements earned developers points that could be used for them to add additional height to their building(s). Commissioner Blanscet stated that additional height may not be a strong enough incentive for developers to provide additional features to a project and suggested adding additional incentives to the point -based system. Mr. Hoover concurred but added the caveat that Staff would need to vet the proposed incentives. Commissioner Blanscet made a motion to approve Item 5 subject to the following conditions. Removal of the following sections so that they can be reviewed further and revised. o Building Regulations, Division 3.13.06 Prohibited Si ns #12 - LED, string or similar lighting outlining windows, doors, or other similar building features. o Zoning Ordinance. Outdoor Lighting Division 14.04.06(G) Prohibited #3 - Jellyfish style permanent outdoor string lighting is prohibited in all residential districts. • Addition of a definition for "Transient Rental." o Transient Rental The rental or offer for rental of any single-family dwelling or any portion of a single- family dwelling for a period of less than 30 days.

Page 3 of 4 Updating the language in 14.04.07(A) regarding "Accessory Buildings" by replacing the word "may" with the word "shall." o Previous Language An accessory building may be similar to the primary dwelling in appearance and character. o U dated Lan ua e An accessory building shall be similar to the primary dwelling in appearance and character. • Clarifying and enhancing the incentives in the point -based system proposed to encourage high -quality design in Division 14.04.08 Non-residential Design and Development. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hamilton. The motion was approved unanimously approved a vote of 6-0. 6.
