A
Good
afternoon
and
welcome
to
pittsburgh
city
council
cable
cast
public
hearing.
We
asked
that
at
this
moment
we'll
this
is
a
public
hearing
for
bill.
2021
21-24,
the
clerk.
Please
read
the
title
of
the
bill.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Our
first
year
of
business
will
be
the
introduction
and
presentation
by
kate,
ruckus
and
corey
layman
from
the
city's
playing
department.
C
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
council,
I'm
just
going
to
do
a
quick
introduction
and
then
we'll
turn
it
over
to
the
theological
seminary
to
make
their
presentation.
So
this
is
a
ordinance
for
a
new
institutional
master
plan
for
the
pittsburgh
theological
seminary
dated
october
6th
2021.
C
C
So
we
have
posted
and
mailed
notice
to
the
abutting
property
owners
21
days
in
advance,
as
required
by
the
zoning
ordinance,
and
normally
this
would
have
required
a
public
hearing
by
november
24th
2021,
but
the
applicant
has
agreed
to
an
extension
beyond
this
and
council
has
that
documentation.
D
Hello,
everyone
can
everybody
hear
me
dan
angen
from
vebh
architects,
I'm
on
the
line
with
thomas
heinz
from
the
pittsburgh
theological
seminary.
D
I'll
try
to
make
this
brief,
because
the
master
plan
is
70
pages
long
and
there
are
just
some
orientation
things
that
I
thought
we
should
start
with.
This
is
a
diagram
of
the
existing
campus
just
for
orientation
purposes
for
everyone.
This
is
north
highland
avenue.
Most
of
the
images
you'll
see
it'll,
be
on
the
bottom
of
the
page.
East
liberty,
on
the
right
hand,
side
and
shared
north
sheridan
avenue
is
founding
the
no,
the
technically
it's
the
south
side
of
the
campus
but
north
side
of
the
page.
There.
D
This
is
our
10-year
outlook,
the
main
campus
facilities
that
everybody
is
used
to,
seeing
as
they
travel
back
and
forth
along
north
highland
is
the
the
priority
buildings
of
long
hall,
the
older
building
there
main
administration
building
the
hicks
memorial
chapel,
a
nice
big
tall
chapel
there
there's
a
a
small
apartment
building
called
the
fulton
apartments
over
here
on
the
left-hand
portion
of
the
page
and
on
the
right-hand
side,
which
you
see
are
cali
in
a
residence
hall
and
mcnaughton
hall
is
also
an
administrative
building.
D
That's
connected
to
long
haul
in
the
back
is
the
barber
library
the
which
is
the
source
of
the
latest
project
that
was
done,
a
complete
overhaul
and
renovation
of
that
building,
the
remainder
of
the
site.
There
are
some
smaller
maintenance
buildings
and
things
like
that,
but
essentially
we
have
access
along
north
highland
coming
in
most
of
the
folks
park
in
the
back
of
the
property
along
north
sheraton,
and
you
can
come
through
and
there's
an
additional
parking
lot
here.
D
D
So
as
part
of
our
10-year
plan,
this
is
the
master
planning
key
document
on
page
26.
It
shows
some
changes
here.
It
shows
the
replacement
of
a
potential
replacement
of
the
apartment
building
over
here
on
the
left-hand
side
of
the
campus
image,
the
mcnaughter
hall,
which
is
this
big
long
hall,
that's
connected
to
long
haul.
D
It
is
a
combination,
administration
building
and
it
has
a
cafeteria
in
there,
which
is
very
large,
and
it's
oversized
for
the
number
of
students
that
we
have,
which
is
just
over
200,
and
we
don't
have
very
many
students
living
on
campus,
and
so
the
idea
potentially
in
the
near
future,
is
to
maybe
get
rid
of
that
building
and
replace
it
with
a
smaller,
more
modern
building
where
callion
hall
is.
D
There
is
the
potential
of
a
future
residence
hall,
almost
like
a
mere
image
of
callion
hall
to
be
added,
and
then
our
our
biggest
consideration
for
a
potential
future
is
along
the
east
liberty
boulevard
corridor,
the
school
the
seminary
has
been
considering
a
multi-use
development
there,
possibly
a
commercial
aspect
on
the
first
floor
and
then
multi-story
residential
that
would
serve
the
community
at
large
also
provide
some
additional
housing
opportunities
for
them.
D
Many
of
our
students
are
older
and
have
families,
and
also
there's
a
consideration
along
north
sheraton
avenue
here
for
some
town,
home,
small
town
home
as
a
part
of
that
development,
and
that
that
has
been
prob,
the
greater
majority
of
our
focus
in
working
with
the
zoning
department
and
the
community,
which
is
currently
right.
D
Now
there
really
is
just
open
area
and
some
paving
old
tennis
courts,
and
things
like
that
over
here
on
this
corner
of
the
campus
and
a
potential
change
to
a
developer-led
project
might
have
some
significant
effects
on
the
impression
of
the
campus
and
for
the
community
adjacencies.
D
So
we've
explored
that
as
a
part
of
this
process
on
this
slide
is
a
3d
view.
Here
is
north
highland
avenue.
This
is
east
liberty
right
here
and
then
sheridan
is
right
here
this
is
long
hall.
The
main
building
this
is
the
chapel.
D
This
is
a
potential
future,
a
dormitory
residence
hall
scenario
similar
to
italian
hall,
and
then
this
corner
right
here
is
a
larger
development.
This
is
just
a
massing
model
which
essentially,
there
would
be
parking
on
the
lower
portion
with
the
main
lobby,
recessed
component
and
then
residential
up
above
and
you
can
see
the
corner
which
kate
mentioned.
D
We
had
a
lot
of
discussion
about
how
to
step
back
and
be
sensitive
to
the
folks
that
are
coming
up
and
down
sheridan
and
living
along
that
street,
and
then
just
beyond
you
can
kind
of
see
the
peaks
of
a
few
of
the
town
homes
down
below
here
is
a
massing
study
showing
heights.
A
lot
of
our
buildings
on
campus
are
already
pretty
high.
The
chapel
is
the
highest
at
80
feet.
D
D
A
couple
other
views,
this
view
is
that
same
view,
where
we're
on
east
liberty
and
on
north
sheraton
just
to
get
a
little
bit
better
idea
of
how
much
space
is
actually
there.
This
is
real
time
modeling
and
to
give
an
an
idea
of
how
how
the
building
might
feel
from
ground
level.
D
This
is
the
east
liberty
boulevard
corridor.
Here
we
did
step
the
building
back.
Zoning
technically
allows
us
to
go
all
the
way
up
to
the
sidewalk.
We
push
back
to
add
some
green
space
and
not
loom
over
the
roadway
here,
everyone's
probably
familiar
with
the
fact
that
east
liberty,
boulevard
in
this
area,
is
a
boulevard.
D
It
actually
has
green
space,
and
so
this
traffic
is
heading
towards
town
and
on
the
other
side
of
the
boulevard,
of
course,
going
the
other
way
directly
opposite
of
this
potential
development
is
the
home
depot,
which
is
to
the
left
in
this
picture
and
to
the
right
in
this
picture
that
might
help
with
orientation
purposes.
D
Everybody
knows
where
the
home
depots
are
another
quick
view
of
that
same
corner
and
then
a
little
bit
of
a
streetscape
here
showing
the
massing.
This
is
north
sheraton.
Residences
on
one
side
shows
us
stepping
back
on
that
around
that
corner
and
what
our
height
differentials
are.
As
you
move
through
the
site,
there's
a
helpful
diagram
to
show
the
setbacks
on
in
the
master
plan.
D
And
we've
done
quite
a
bit
of
an
analysis
of
parking.
One
of
the
things
that
has
been
a
blessing
for
the
seminary
is
that
they
have
they.
They
don't
use
all
their
parking.
Typically,
they
have
more
parking
than
is
necessary
on
a
daily
basis,
and
they
often
when
there
are
events
at
the
obama
school
that's
directly
across
the
street
across
north
highland.
D
They
offer
their
parking
lots
for
their
events,
so
they're
commuting
some
community
sharing
going
on
and
then,
if
there
ever
occasionally,
there
are
a
couple
times
a
year,
some
events
that
the
seminary
holds
that
they
invite
community
to
come
and
sometimes
those
if
we're
worried
about
having
enough
parking.
We
have
reciprocal
relationships
with
neighbors
such
as
home
depot
and
the
obama
school,
and
they
let
us
park
over
there
too.
So
circulation
is
really
important
on
the
campus.
D
D
Ultimately,
when
mcknocker
hall
is
replaced
or
we'll
be
able
to
make
a
loop
road,
this
is
an
existing
entrance,
a
location
currently
right
now
that
we'd
actually
be
able
to
hook
back
up
and
complete
the
loop
and
make
the
circulation
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
stronger
on
the
campus,
also
with
any
development
along
east
liberty.
D
We
do
have
some
hard
surface
there
right
now,
where
part
of
the
master
plan
is
to
ultimately
convert
that
to
green
space.
D
And
I
think
that
does
a
fairly
good
job
of
orienting
things
tom.
Would
you
like
to
add
anything
about
the
process
and
any
other
comments
that
I
might
have
missed
in
my
quick
little
thing
here.
E
Of
course,
so
thank
you
very
much
everyone
for
the
hearing
and
the
opportunity
to
present
when,
when
we
look
at
our
campus,
we
look
at
the
east
liberty.
Side
is
the
more
I'm
going
to
try
to
put
quotes
up
commercial
side
transitioning
to
residential
side
by
the
time
you
get
to
saint
marie.
For
us,
what
we
really
focus
on
is
the
aca,
what
we
call
the
academic
core.
E
So
that's
hicks
memorial
chapel,
it's
the
barber
library,
it's
mcnocker
hall
or
it's
replacement,
which
is
the
letter
l
there
and
long
haul,
which
is
our
main
administration
building.
It's
also
where
all
of
our
classrooms
are
the
reality
of
for
seminaries.
Is
attendance
has
been
going
down
for
a
number
of
years,
as
dan
alluded,
we
have
a
little
bit
over
200
students
right
now
and
and
for
our
facilities.
E
I
mean
frankly,
they're
oversized
for
what
we
need
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
As
many
of
you
may
be
aware,
last
year
we
sold
or
june
of
2020.
We
sold
three
apartment
buildings
we
owned,
so
they
could
be
converted
to
affordable
housing.
We
rent
18
of
those
units
out
of
the
building
so
that
we're
providing
market
rate
income
to
action,
housing
and
and
the
rest
of
them
are
for
affordable
housing
with
fulton
hall.
E
It's
it's
an
older
building.
It
was
built
in
the
50s
it's
in
its
b
on
this
chart,
and-
and
you
know
it's
it's
one-
bedroom
inefficiencies
and
it's
it.
It
is
what
it
is.
Our
students
live
there,
it's
comfortable,
we
do
a
good
job,
maintaining
it,
but
at
some
point
in
the
next
10
years,
we're
hoping
to
replace
that
to
right
size
it
for
what
we
need
for
our
residential
students
today.
E
E
I
see
people
playing
basketball
on
our
tennis
courts.
You
know
the
the
charter
school
across
the
street
uses
it
for
soccer.
Rodman
street
church
parks
their
bus,
many
other
people
park
their
bus
on
our
campus
or
you
know,
as
dan
indicated
use
it
for
overflow
parking,
but
so
so
for
us.
The
first
thing
is:
is
we
want
to
strengthen
that
academic,
core
and
and
strengthen
the
academic
core
is
about
compression?
E
You
know
the
development
on
the
east
liberty
side,
one
of
the
you
know
we
did
a
a
study
on
it
and
it's
really
you
know
if,
if
that
is
developed,
it
will
be
focused
on
kind
of
the
missing
middle
or
you
know
whether
it's
middle
class
senior
housing,
it's
going
to
be
something
along
those
lines
versus
market
rate,
because
that's
more
missionally
aligned
with
who
pittsburgh
theological
seminary
is,
but
you
know,
half.
B
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
do
not
have
any
questions
and
I'm
gonna.
If
that
is
the
end
of
your
presentation,
I
will
now
move
toward
our
public
hearing
part,
which
is
our
registered
guest,
and
so
thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation,
I'll
say
some
things
at
the
end
and
I'll
move
to
our
registered
guests.
I
have
four
registered
guests.
The
first
guest
I
have
is
philia
gray.
F
Thank
you.
I
want
to
say
how
much
I
enjoy
the
campus.
I
have
a
healthcare
practice
across
highland
ave
and
one
of
the
main
reasons
I
took
that
space
was
the
beautiful,
beautiful
view
of
the
seminary,
and
I
applaud
everything
I
read
in
the
plan
about
welcoming
the
community
and
also
about
preserving
the
green
space.
I
think
that's
the
absolute
most
priceless
thing
about
your
campus
is
those
mature
trees
and
that
open
green
space.
F
A
Lily
bonga
not
seeing
lily,
we'll
move
to
darren
hollingsworth
darren
hollingsworth.
Are
you
with
me
today.
G
Yes,
I
am,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
thank
you,
my
fiance
and
I
are
building
a
home
on
the
corner
of
sheridan
and
east
liberty.
It
will
be
complete
very
shortly
within
the
next
two
months
or
so
at
some
great
cost,
but
we
were
pretty
excited
to
move
into
the
neighborhood,
we're
originally
new
yorkers
and
grew
up
in
brooklyn,
which
used
to
be
a.
G
When
we
saw
the
plans,
we
were
concerned
about
the
fact
that
what
for
us
was,
you
know,
really
lovely
in
view
looking
across
at
just
the
trees
and
the
tennis
courts
would
then
be
filled
with
this
huge
edifice
that
would
quickly,
I
think,
take
precedence
over
the
the
feel
and
the
ambiance.
B
G
The
neighborhood,
so
we
we
we
thought
we
had
to
comment
by
no
means
are
we
opposed
to
progress,
but
certainly
we
think
it
should
be
within
the
with
respect
to
the
neighborhood's
legacy
and
history
and
towards
the
you
know
the
future-
that's
inclusive
of
the
residents
there.
So
I,
while
I
I
hope
this
plan
goes
forward.
G
I
hope
it
goes
forward
without
that
that
large
edifice
facing
us
directly,
because
I
think,
as
we
drove
around
neighborhood
in
fact,
trying
to
see
if
there
was
anything
relatively
similar
to
that,
we
could
not
find
any
any
sort
of
scenario
where
low-density
housing
was
abutted
by
such
a
large
residential,
and
I
guess,
there's
retail
on
the
ground
level.
So
all
of
that
is
to
say
we
we
oppose
that
specific
part
of
their
plan.
A
A
Last
time
jules
crosby
or
lily
bonga
either
one
okay.
Now
we
will
open
up
to
members
who
are
here.
Is
there
anyone
who
wants
to
address
this
zoning
petition
who's
in
council?
Yes,.
H
My
name
is
yvonne,
f
brown
I'll
give
in
the
health
display.
At
one
time
when
I
was
younger,
I
had
a
friend
that
I
a
boyfriend
and
he
was
a
minister
from
ghana.
He
lived
over
in
your
area.
H
I
really
didn't
know
that
children
went
to
the
school
and
I'm
glad
that
I
came-
and
I
have
learned
something
today,
but
I
would
also
like
to
refer
back
to
gary
gary
is
explaining
to
you
that
they've
made
the
decision
to
buy
them
a
home
and
they're
building
them
one
and
he's
saying
if
you
put
that
big
building,
it
would
block
his
view.
I
agree
with
that.
H
If
he's
already
there,
then
you
just
need
to
try
to
take
and
put
the
building
if
you
have
to
somewhere
else,
but
not
block
his
point
of
view,
his
view,
and
he
was
saying
how
lovely
it
is.
It
is
a
nice
area
out
there
my
son
used
to
go
to
his
his
obama
school
now,
but
he
was
he
went
there
for
a
while.
H
I
came
today
because
I
missed
this
morning
and
I
wanted
to
say
that
there
has
to
be
a
way
that
you
could
put
your
meeting,
have
the
papers
out
there,
so
we
can
find
out
when
the
meeting
so
once
I
leave,
I
can't
find
out
about
it,
but
I
do
think
I
do
thank
the
to
have
the
opportunity
to
speak
and
mr
burgess
did
not
interrupt
me.
Thank
you
again,
mr
purges.
You
seem
to
be
learning
and
thank
you
from
the
seminary.
H
A
You
very
much
I
want
to
thank
all
speakers
for
participating.
I
want
to
thank
the
seminary
representatives
from
participating.
I
will
say
that
I
have
been
talking
to
the
seminary
about
their
redevelopment
plan.
I
think
it's
been
three
years
I
think
is
when
we
first
started
those
discussions.
It
seems
not
that
long,
but
I
think
it's
been
over
three
years.
A
I
will
be
putting
this
legislation
on
next
week's
standing
commission
commit
committee
meeting
next
wednesday.
I
of
course
will
be
voting
in
the
positive
and
the
affirmative
for
the
master
plan,
and
there
will
be
time
for
the
public
to
comment
again
on
next
wednesday
during
the
council
before
our
council
meeting
with
that
that
will
conclude
our
public
hearing
again.
We
thank
everyone
for
participating
and
we
look
forward
to
having
this
master
plan
approved.
A
I
think
that's
it
if
there's
anything
from
our
guests,
if
not
I'm
going
to
adjourn
this
meeting.
Thank
you.
Thank.
