Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
Good
afternoon
everyone,
my
name,
is
Tracy
Dodson,
an
assistant
city
manager
and
I
would
like
to
welcome
you
to
part
2
of
our
Eastland
community
meeting
back
on
May
1st.
We
posted
a
presentation
that
was
done
and
have
had
a
comment
period
open
until
just
yesterday.
As
part
2
will
be
a
live
question-and-answer
session
and
we
will
be
answering
a
lot
of
the
questions
that
have
come
in
over
the
past
several
days
before
we
start
that
I
want
to
acknowledge
some
of
who
we
have
in
the
room.
I
introduced
myself.
A
We
also
have
Tim
cinéma
here
from
Crosland
southeast
we
have
Collin.
Brown
is
our
attorney
with
Alexander
Rick's,
and
we
also
have
councilmember
Newton
here
from
district
5,
who
is
listening
in
from
home.
So
with
that
we
will
spend
the
first
half
of
this
doing
a
question-and-answer
dressing.
The
questions
that
came
in,
but
then
we
will
also
do
a
section
where
we're
able
to
take
in
live
questions.
You
can
also
find
more
information
about
the
rezoning
and
what
was
posted.
A
If
you,
google,
Charlotte
rezoning
petition
2020
0
to
7
for
more
details
about
the
rezoning,
we
won't
be
able
to
answer
every
question
here
today,
but
we
found
some
common
themes
that
hopefully
will
answer
the
bulk
of
the
questions
that
have
come
to
us
so
with
that
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
Colin
brown
to
walk
through
a
little
bit
of
the
rezoning
itself.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
You
Tracy
again,
my
name
is
Colin
brown
I'm,
a
land-use
attorney
with
Alexander
Rick's
working
with
a
city
and
Crossland
southeast
on
this
rezoning,
as
Tracey
mentioned.
This
is
really
the
second
part
of
the
presentation.
A
couple
weeks
ago,
we
posted
online
a
presentation
to
review
the
rezoning
plan
and
provide
some
bigger
picture
feedback
so
based
on
that
presentation,
we've
received
for
many
of
you
some
specific
questions
about
the
rezoning,
so
I
wanted
to
tee
off
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
that.
B
If
you
have
not
seen
the
presentation,
please
do
take
a
look
at
it.
You'll
get
a
little
bit
of
this
more
in
depth,
but
one
of
the
general
questions
was
just
to
provide
a
little
more
information
about
the
rezoning
areas,
and
so,
if
I
can
take
you
to
the
site
plan
now,
if
you
can
see
that
on
your
screen,
you'll
notice,
this
is
an
aerial
view
of
the
Eastland
mall
site
and
what
I
want
to
draw
your
attention
to?
Are
the
areas
outlined
in
red?
B
So
the
red
areas
are
the
entirety
of
the
Eastland
mall
site
that
is,
is
involved
in
this
rezoning.
And
what
you'll
see
is
this:
the
entire
property
is
broken
up
by
the
red
lines
into
three
different
development
areas.
So
each
of
those
development
areas
will
have
a
specific
set
of
Zoning
standards
for
those
areas
based
on
Crossan
and
the
city's
vision
for
what,
though
they
will
become,
and
our
idea
is
this-
the
zoning
really
provides
the
framework.
B
B
Two
different
zoning
districts
is
because
we
think
they're
going
to
be
two
types
of
intensity
on
the
site,
so
the
mx2
area,
which
is
closer
to
the
Willow
Lake
area,
that's
really
set
up.
The
MX
stands
for
mixed
and
it's
a
mixed
district
and
that's
really
more
of
a
mix
of
residential
housing
types.
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
a
set
of
development
standards
and
our
development
standards
provide
that
the
only
use
is
allowed
in
that
area,
our
residential
uses.
B
So
in
the
nx2
area
closest
to
Willow
Lake,
those
will
be
residential
uses,
we
don't
expect
and
we're
not
entitling,
so
there
will
not
be
allowed.
Reach
commercial/office
uses
their.
That
is
exclusively
a
residential
district
and
we
think
that
provides
a
nice
transition
from
the
single-family
neighborhoods
to
the
north,
to
the
commercial
portion
of
this
site
and
then
ultimately
to
Central
Avenue.
So
that's
what
the
mx2
district
is
about.
We
are
requesting
some
innovative
standards
there,
that's
what
the
innovative
means
and
the
idea
there
is.
B
We
want
a
little
bit
of
flexibility
to
design
a
more
contemporary
kind
of
a
neo-traditional
residential
development.
So
we've
requested
some
flexibility
on
how
the
right-of-ways
the
streets
and
the
sidewalks
are
designed
in
that
area.
So
that
is
one
zoning
district.
The
other
zoning
district,
which
takes
up
the
bulk
of
the
site,
we're
proposing,
is
the
mud
of
that
is
mixed,
use,
development,
district,
optional
and
again
those
are
the
two
red
areas
fronting
on
Central
Avenue
and
we
divided
that
up.
B
So
the
mud
district
will
cover
all
of
that
along
Central
Avenue,
but
we've
divided
it
into
two
development
areas,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
is
the
vision
for
those
areas
are
different.
We've
asked
for
the
mud,
district
accommodates
all
types
of
commercial
uses,
it's
a
more
contemporary
uses
contemporary
zoning
district,
and
it
also
allows
a
mixture
of
residential
uses.
So
we
think
it's
a
better
district
for
what
eastland
will
become
and
again,
we've
divided
in
two
development
areas:
area,
one
which
I
think
crawls
in
Southeast
Tim
can
talk
about.
B
Their
vision
is
for
this
to
be
more
of
a
mixed
commercial
development
and
develop
an
area
too
one
of
the
things
we've
provided
for.
There
is
the
ability
for
a
sports
entertainment,
complex
and
in
that
area,
we've
asked
for
some
optional
provisions
to
provide
for
innovative
signage,
innovative
lighting
to
accommodate
that
Sports
Complex
should
have
come
to
fruition.
A
Thank
You
Colin
I
want
to
go
now
into
addressing
some
of
the
questions
that
have
been
given
to
us.
Prior
to
today's
event.
From
there
we
will
go
into
the
live
Q&A
where
you
can
submit
your
questions
and
we
will
take
them
live.
What
are
the
first
questions,
and
this
is
a
lot
largely
about
the
process
is
what
is
the
commitment
or
what
is
being
committed
to
in
a
development
agreement
by
the
city
and
its
partners?
The
zoning
portion
that
we
are
in
right
now
is
specifically
about
the
land
use.
A
There
will
be
more
conversation
and
more
times
that
we
take
items
around
Eastland
and
the
agreements
around
Eastland
to
City
Council,
there's
a
development
agreement
that
we
will
begin
to
work
with
on
with
Crosland
once
we
get
through
this
land
use
portion
of
it
and
that
will
address
things
like
public
investment
into
the
site
or
things
like
affordable
housing
or
open
space
commitments
such
as
a
park.
The
other
question
that
we
got
is
does
Charlotte
intend
to
set
aside
a
hundred
and
ten
million
in
hospitality
fund
dollars
to
support
the
Major
League
Soccer
expansion.
A
If
so,
what
is
the
timeline
for
the
vote?
What
I
would
say
to
that
is
that
the
discussions
on
with
pepper
sports
are
very
complex
and
they
involve
the
Eastland
site
as
well
as
Bank
of
America
Stadium
and
Tepper
sport,
and
they
will
take
some
time
before
we
will
be
ready
to
bring
that
back
to
City
Council
for
a
vote.
We
continue
to
work
with
them
as
a
partner,
as
we
do
with
many
of
our
partners
throughout
the
city.
A
The
next
question
that
we
got
was:
how
will
the
development
accommodate
affordable
housing
and
how
do
we
mitigate
gentrification,
brought
on
by
new
development,
as
I
mentioned
before
the
affordable
housing
component
and
discussion
of
this
will
be
during
the
development
agreement
and
as
we
shape
out
what
the
public
investment
is
and
what
the
developer
commitments
are.
So
that's
to
come
next
in
our
process
as
it
relates
to
gentrification.
A
We
are
planning
for
a
strong,
mixed-use
community
or
mixed
income.
Community
excuse
me
and
we
will
work
with
the
community
as
a
whole
and
continue
our
outreach.
I
will
ask
Tim
if
he
wants
to
comment
at
all
on
the
on
the
gentrification
aspect
of
it,
but
what
I
will
say
is
that
this
is
a
this
is
a
undeveloped
site
at
this
point,
so
nobody
is
being
displaced,
but
we
want
to
develop
a
project
that
is
strong
and
promotes
more
good
development
on
the
East
Side.
Then
do
you
have
anything
to
add
to
that?
A
The
next
question
what
will
happen
to
current
occupants
or
uses
of
Eastland,
namely
the
open-air
market,
the
skate
park
and
the
Transit
Center
I'll
adjust
the
Transit
Center?
First,
we
have
been
working
with
cats
along
the
entire
way
to
talk
about
how
the
Transit
Center
becomes
a
complement
into
this
area
in
this
larger
redevelopment,
and
so
we'll
continue
to
work
with
them.
There
aren't
any
plans
immediately
to
relocate
the
Transit
Center,
but
it
is
a
part
of
our
discussion.
A
That
said,
we
have
no
intention
of
the
Transit
Center
going
away
from
this
immediate
area,
the
open-air
market,
once
Eastland
becomes
a
construction
site,
it
will
be
no
longer
safe
to
operate
there.
The
markets
license
was
scheduled
to
expire
in
April,
and
we
did
extend
that
through
the
summer
and
we're
working
with
the
operators
to
explore
next
steps.
So
we
will
still
committed
to
that
process
as
well.
A
The
skate
park
will
need
to
be
removed
as
a
part
of
the
demolition
and
the
site
work,
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
the
operators
as
we
finalize
plans
for
the
property.
The
next
question
that
I
have
is
what
is
the
construction
timeline
and
how
has
the
timeline
changed
due
to
the
corona
virus
pandemic?
A
As
another
part
of
that
question
is:
what's
the
earliest,
you
would
expect
to
see
MLS
components
completed
on
site,
so
what
I
will
tell
you
is
that
we're
all
adjusting
to
this
new
world?
We
are
trying
to
keep
the
project
on
track
as
closely
as
possible.
We
have
lost
some
time
just
in
the
rezoning
process
of
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
do
meetings
virtually
that
said,
our
goal
of
starting
demolition
and
site
work.
This
coming
winter
remains
the
same,
and
we
will
continue
to
focus
on
that
goal.
A
It
will
take
most
of
the
chunk
of
2021
to
do
the
infrastructure,
there's
a
lot
of
a
street
network
that
needs
to
be
done,
and
water
and
sewer,
and
things
like
that
on
site,
then,
hopefully,
after
towards
the
end
of
2021,
beginning
2022,
we
can
actually
look
at
vertical
construction
depending
on
what
type
of
construction
that
is
is
will
depend
on
how
long
it
takes
to
build
now.
I
think
we
are
going
to
move
into
the
live
Q&A
portion
and
again
you
can
comment
on
these
questions.
I
will
read
them.
A
A
C
Thank
You
Tracy
I'm
Tim
cinema
with
Crossan
southeast
the
question
about
community
engagement.
Our
firm
was
selected
by
the
City
Council
in
2018,
the
fall
of
2018,
and
we
spent
much
of
the
certainly
the
first
half
of
2019
with
a
community
engagement
effort
and
that
consisted
of
about
14
different
neighborhood
meetings.
C
One
large
public
hearing
that
had
north
of
200
people
in
attendance
and
the
other
13
were
what
we'd
like
to
call
dinner
conversations
where
we
had
10
to
20,
sometimes
a
little
bit
more
than
that
folks,
often
around
a
dinner
table
just
talking
about
what
they
wanted
to
see
what
they
did
not
want
to
see
on
the
Eastland
site,
and
so
we
learned
a
lot
of
information,
valuable
information
that
we
use
to
build
the
envision
Eastland
process.
But
the
community
engagement
effort
was
through
much
of
2019.
Thank
you.
A
C
C
We
can't
just
obviously
snap
our
fingers
and
and
select
which
businesses
and
merchants
and
restaurants
that
we
want
to
include
in
the
in
the
development
we
need
to
do.
We
need
to
build
a
vision
that
is
appealing
to
them
and
help
them
want
to
to
participate
in
the
in
the
redevelopment
process.
Currently
the
big
idea
for
the
project
and
if
I
may
ask
for
the
slide,
the
big
idea
slide
to
be
cued
up,
be
helpful.
C
Keep
going
right
here,
so
the
the
the
the
the
high
level
vision
for
the
redevelopment
includes
a
number
of
key
components
within
the
project.
If
you
can
see
on
your
slide,
this
big
idea
slide
you'll
see
on
the
right
hand,
side.
We
include
a
component,
that's
labeled
active
here
and
that's
really
what
we
contemplate
for
a
sports
component,
Major
League
Soccer,
for
example.
C
If
we
are
successful
in
attracting
the
sports
component,
the
residential
the
public
park
in
open
spaces,
we
believe
we'll
be
able
to
attract
the
commercial
uses
that
can
help
continue
to
stimulate
the
site
economic
development.
Those
uses
may
include
rest
or
it's
maybe
grocery.
Maybe
commercial
office,
maybe
medical
office
and
so
on,
Thank
You,
Tracy.
A
Trying
to
maintain
our
distance,
what
I
will
say
beyond
this
site
in
terms
of
the
commitment
to
this
area,
the
city
manager
just
proposed
a
budget
and
as
a
part
of
that
budget,
that
we
look
for
City
Council
to
approve,
there's
a
continued
commitment
to
studying
the
Albemarle
and
Central
Avenue
corridors
and
looking
continuously
at
how
we
can
improve
those
corridors
for
the
residents,
as
well
as
the
business
owners.
And
so
our
commitment
to
the
east
side
doesn't
stop
just
at
Eastland.
A
A
B
If
I
could
go
back,
one
slide,
maybe
two.
This
is
the
slide.
So
as
part
of
this
rezoning
process,
one
things
that
we
do,
we
go
through
reasoning
processes
assess
the
transportation
impacts
on
the
infrastructure.
One
of
the
positives
here,
if
you
you
know,
keep
in
mind
Eastland
mall
is
current
zoning
and
accommodated
a
giant
regional
mall.
So
there
is
substantial
transportation
infrastructure
in
place.
B
So
what
has
happened
in
the
last
few
years
as
the
department,
transportation
and
Charlotte
has
really
embraced
this
robust
network
of
streets
is
there
is
a
mandate
to
provide
for
connectivity
to
surrounding
sites,
and
so
with
or
without
this
rezoning
one
of
the
things
we'd
see.
Our
subdivision
ordinance
now
requires,
when
you're
developing
a
major
site
like
this.
If
there
is
a
stub,
Street
or
a
connection
to
the
property,
any
development
team
would
have
to
provide
a
street
connection
to
that.
So
we
did
want
to
make
that
clear,
so
the
residents
understood.
B
But
if
you,
if
you
see
the
map
on
the
screen
now,
you
do
see
Stillwell
Oats,
which
connects
to
a
Laurel
Lake
and
the
residential
neighborhood
to
the
north.
There
is
currently
a
street
in
that
location
it
stubs
into
the
Eastland
site.
My
understanding
from
talking
to
a
few
neighbors
is
that
stuff
than
been
there
for
many
years,
but
was
stairs
so
that
people
could
walk
to
the
mall,
but
the
requirement
now
and
really
not
related
to
this
rezoning.
B
But
if
anyone
were
to
develop
this
site,
there
would
be
a
requirement
to
make
a
street
connection
from
the
Eastland
mall
property
to
Stillwell
Oaks
and
so
we're
showing
that
we
wanted
to
make
that
clear.
Now.
One
thing
I
do
want
to
point
out
is,
if
your
call
I
said
and
Tim
said,
the
area
of
the
site
where
that
Stillwell
Oaks
connection
is,
is
the
area
of
the
site
where
Crossin
foresees
and
we're
zoning
only
for
residential
uses,
and
we
think
that
will
be
more
of
a
single-family
townhome,
a
lower
density
residential
neighborhood.
B
So
it's
also
going
to
be
very
important
to
the
development
team
that
this
street
connection,
though
we
need
to
provide,
it,
doesn't
become
a
cut
through
that
it's
negatively
impacting
the
neighbors
on
still
world
folks
or
the
future
neighbors
that
we
foresee
in
this
portion
of
the
site,
and
so
one
of
the
things
we've
we've
done
and
we're
working
on.
One
of
those
innovative
provisions
that
I
was
talking
about
for
this
area
is
to
design
a
street
network
that
provides
connectivity.
But
it's
not
it's
not
a
racetrack.
B
You
know:
we've
got
some
some
good
design
on
the
streets
to
slow
traffic
down
and
create
some
more
streets
that
we
think
are
more
walkable.
So
there
is
a
connection
to
Stillwell
Oaks.
We
want
to
make
that
clear,
but
also
let
you
know
that
the
design
team
and
the
city
staff
are
working
hard
to
make
sure
that
that
does
not
negate
really
impact
the
neighborhood
to
the
north
I.
A
Read
one
question
that
that
has
come
in
and
says:
there's
a
petition
about
the
rezoning
process
being
circulated.
Well,
the
city
consider
temporarily
stopping
the
rezoning
until
the
pandemic
is
contained
and
more
information
is
about
is
available
about
units
I'm,
going
to
assume
that
that
means
affordable
units
and,
as
I
said
earlier,
the
discussion
about
affordable
housing
on
the
site
will
come
in
our
next
step
of
this
process.
It
is
not
part
of
the
land
use
discussion.
A
It
is
part
of
the
development
agreement,
as
well
as
other
things
like
MW
SBE,
which
is
our
minority
businesses
during
construction,
and
things
like
that.
That'll
be
all
a
part
of
the
development
agreement
as
we
move
forward
in
that
process,
as
it
relates
to
the
rezoning
process,
we
have
been
working
very
closely
with
our
planning
department,
as
well
as
legal,
to
make
sure
that
we
are
hitting
all
of
the
appropriate
hurdles
and
requirements
as
it
relates
to
community
outreach
in
conducting
this
rezoning
well,
virtually
in
a
manner
that
still
meets
all
of
the
requirements.
A
I
may
ask
Harlan
to
step
back
up
on
this
and
talk
a
little
bit
more
there's
a
feeling
that
I
think
some
of
us
want
to
see
business
go
on
as
usual
in
this
new
world.
We
definitely
the
pandemic
is
at
the
forefront
of
our
business
every
day,
but
there
are
some
projects,
such
as
in
Ching
eastland
Ford,
that
we
want
to
stay
committed
to,
and
we've
heard
from,
council
members
and
others
that
they
want
to
continue
to
see
move
forward.
Colin
do
you
and
to
come
up
and
talk
about
a
process.
Yeah
I'm.
B
Happy
to
say
we're
I
think
everyone
is
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
adjust
to
the
current
circumstances
and
like
to
remind
every
week
we
had
planned
on
doing
our
official
community
meeting
on
March
12th.
We
had
that
on
the
calendar.
We
had
a
large
church
in
the
area
reserved
and
we
were
planning
to
go,
and
this
was
just
as
Kevin
19
was
really
breaking
out
when
we
thought
it
best
to
put
that
on
hold.
Not
have
everyone
feel
that
maybe
need
to
come
out
to
the
meeting.
B
So
here
we
are,
you
know,
two
months
later
and
with
this
petition
and
many
others
that
were
working
on
we're
trying
to
find
the
best
way
forward.
The
good
news
and
municipalities
are
handling
this
different
ways,
but
the
State
Legislature
last
month,
as
part
of
their
kovat
legislation,
did
adopt
some
provisions
specifically
accommodating
distance
meetings.
B
Most
of
that
legislation
speaks
to
how
the
public
hearings
will
be
conducted
and,
as
I
said,
we're
currently
scheduled
to
have
the
public
hearing
on
this
rezoning,
hopefully
on
May
18th,
but
we
are
we're
doing
our
best
with
processes
like
this
to
try
and
get
information
out
to
folks
in
the
neighborhood
and
give
them
an
opportunity
to
respond.
You
know,
I
should
say
this
is
certainly
not
our
preference
either.
B
We
prefer
to
interact
one-on-one,
really
make
connections
with
people,
so
we
can
read
body
language
in
a
room
and
hear,
but
we're
doing
the
best
we
can-
and
we
thought
this
was
a
good
approach
for
this
petition,
where
we
put
out
the
presentation
you
know
over
two
weeks
ago
and
gave
people
time
to
digest
that
and
said
that
we
could
reconvene
and
take
questions
and
so
I'm
happy
to
see
that
we
are
getting
a
good
amount
of
interactive
questions.
What
tells
me
that
the
information
is
getting
out
there
in
folks?
A
Helen
I
will
add
to
that
that
I
think
I
have
not
seen
the
numbers
as
of
today,
but
there
was
more
than
400
views
of
what
we
posted
on
May
1st,
and
so
we
are
comfortable
that
the
word
is
getting
out
there
and
that
people
are
able
to
access
the
information.
I
have
a
two-part
question
or
two
different
questions.
I'm
going
to
try
to
answer
together
and
one
is
what
type
of
businesses
will
be
supported
by
the
new
zoning.
What
support
will
there
be
for
small
businesses
and
the
other?
A
Is
there
a
plan
to
attract
businesses
from
the
Central
Avenue
to
the
Eastland
site?
Let
me
start
at
a
very
high
level
with
that
and
say
that
I
think
one
of
the
most
exciting
things
about
this
project
is
the
ability
to
incorporate
small
business
and
part
of
what
we
have
been
investigating
from
the
city
side
is:
how
do
we
make
this
a
site
that
is
attractive
for
small
businesses
to
come
and
thrive,
and
we
would
love
to
see
some
of
these
businesses
be
businesses
that
are
already
on
the
east
side.
A
We've
heard
that
loud
and
clear
from
the
residents
over
the
years
of
in
community
engagement,
but
also
new
opportunities
for
businesses
to
to
come
in,
so
there's
not
a
plan
to
from
Central
Avenue,
specifically
into
this
site.
But
again
we
do
want
to
see
businesses
that
are
already
on
the
east
side
and
want
to
come
to
the
site
to
be
incorporated
and
that
it
still
represents
the
great
community
that
exists
on
the
east
side
today.
A
And
so
we
will
have
a
focus
on
small
business
here
and
small
business
being
successful
here
in
many
years
to
come.
So
you
could
have
another
one.
Are
there
any
provisions
for
the
east-west
Greenway
I
will
invite
Tim
up
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
kind
of
our
open
space
parts
of
the
plan,
as
well
as
Greenway
connections,
specifically,
if
you'd
like
to
thank
you.
C
Thank
You
Tracy,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
the
public
park
is
a
key
element
of
the
development
we're
working
with
Mecklenburg
County
on
the
preliminary
designs
for
that
right
now
also
part
of
the
process,
and
the
envision
includes
the
Greenway
connect
connection
that
will
go
basically
all
the
way
through
the
site.
The
exact
route
has
not
been
established
yet,
but
it
will
likely
go
from
the
upper
right-hand
corner
of
your
screen.
You
can
see
the
the
green
lines
and
arrows
there.
C
That's
a
likely
route
that
will
go
past
the
the
school,
the
CMS
school
and
then
come
back
through
the
development
and
ultimately
connect
with
Central
Avenue.
So
those
elements
are
not
designed
yet
we're
still
very
early
in
the
process,
but
there
are
there
key
elements,
certainly
for
the
vision.
Thank
you.
A
B
The
potential
impacts
on
the
neighborhood
or
something
that's
been
looked
at
by
the
co-team
and
the
traffic
consultants
as
part
of
the
part
of
the
analysis
at
at
this
time.
There's
not
a
commitment
to
install
speed
bumps,
but
this
is
something
that
I
think
the
city
has
become
more
flexible
about
in
the
past.
And
if
that
connection
is
made-
and
that's
necessarily
that's-
certainly
something
that
can
be
looked
at
as
well
as
the
potential
for
a
traffic
signal
at
the
main
access
from
the
Laurel
Lake
neighborhood
to
share
in
Amity
Road.
A
Thank
You
Colin
I
have
two
more
here
that
I'm
going
to
quickly
address
and
then
I
just
handed
one
to
Tim
to
allow
him
to
answer,
have
walkability
audits
been
conducted
for
the
Eastland
corridor,
central
East,
Way,
Sharon
Amity,
and
what
I
would
tell
you
is
I
mentioned.
We
are
staying
committed
in
this
next
round
of
the
budget
to
corridor
strategies
around
central
and
Albemarle
and
I
think
we
will
be
looking
very
intently
at
pedestrian
mobility
bike
mobility
as
a
part
of
this
corridor
strategy.
So
there
will
be
more
to
come
on
that
one.
A
The
next
question
is:
what
are
the
land
use
development
required
requirements
in
relation
to
parking
management
to
ensure
you
reduce
the
carbon
footprint
in
the
area?
I'll
allow
Colin
to
talk
about
parking
requirements
in
mud,
but
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that
Tim
and
I
have
some
some
very
lively
conversations
about
the
parking
shared
parking
on
the
site
and
how
to
best
utilize
the
parking
as
it
relates
to
all
of
the
different
uses,
so
that
it's
not
over
parked,
but
it
that
it's
adequately
parked
for
where
we
are.
B
Very
quickly
to
know
that
the
parking
retire
requirements
with
the
rezoning
would
go
down
significantly.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
the
current
zoning
in
place
is
for
regional
mall
and
many
of
the
standards
in
the
70s
80s
and
90s
required
substantial
parking.
So
every
300
feet
of
office
you
have,
you
have
to
have
one
parking
spot
of
some
food
and
beverage
uses
for
every
75
square
feet
of
restaurant.
B
You
had
to
have
a
parking
spot,
and
so
that
led
to,
if
you
look
at
an
old
aerial
of
Eastland
mall,
you
see
a
building
and
a
vast
sea
of
surface
parking.
That's
one
of
the
positives
about
the
mixed-use
development
district
that
we're
moving
towards
is
it
has
a
much
lower
parking
requirement.
The
partner
requirement
for
commercial
uses
is
one
parking
spot
for
every
600
square,
feet
of
commercial
use
and
one
parking
spot
for
every
residential
use.
So
that's
a
it's
a
lower
standard.
B
It
does
then
give
the
development
team
some
flexibility
on
how
much
they
think
and
a
mixed-use
site
like
this
I
think
that'll
Tim
will
tell
you
one
of
the
real
positives.
Is
you
start
to
get
a
sharing
of
spaces,
so
maybe
one
parking
space
can
be
used
for
a
residential
person
who's
there
at
night,
then
they
used
to
leave
and
go
to
work,
and
then,
during
the
day,
someone
can
use
that
sot
for
an
office
use
or
a
or
retail
use,
and
so
a
collaborative
mixed-use
project
like
this
really
is
much
more
efficient
with
parking.
C
If
I
may
add
to
that,
that's
the
beauty
of
a
mixed-use
development,
exactly
as
Colin
was
saying
and
there's
more
art
than
science
to
try
to
locate
specific
uses
next
door
to
each
other
that
allow,
for
the
best
possible,
efficient
land
stewardship,
so
put
put
somebody
that
uses
parking
at
night
next
to
somebody
that
uses
it
during
the
day.
So
you
get
double
use
of
the
same
parking
allows
you
to
put
more
uses
on
the
site
which
allows
you
to
to
add
more
economic
development
to
the
overall
redevelopment.
C
A
So
we
we
had
a
great
question
that
just
came
in,
and
it
says:
I'm
a
small
business
who
can
I
contact
to
express
interest
of
being
a
part
of
the
contract
or
the
part
of
the
project.
Excuse
me
love
to
hear
those
and
again
what
Tim
just
said
you
can
reach
out
to
him
directly
to
be
a
part
of
that
project,
I'm
sure
they
would
welcome
any
interested
parties.
A
A
A
We
also
will
continue
to
have
I
think
it's
been
said,
a
lot
more
public
participation
as
we
go
through
this
process
with
that
I
will
see
if
Collin
do
you
have
anything
to
add
to
that?
Okay,
do
I.
Have
another
question.
Thank
you.
Will
you
provide
written
responses
to
all
questions
submitted
and
posted
post?
The
responses
on
the
Eastland
redevelopment
website
and
you
want
to
touch
on
the
community
reporting
aspect
of
it.
I.
B
B
If
you
will
so
by
Friday,
we
will
have
posted
and
this'll
I
said
this
a
couple
times
in
the
presentation,
but
if
you
guys
would
like
greater
detail
and
really
to
look
at
the
rezoning
plan
to
look
at
the
development
standards,
the
best
way
to
find
it
is,
if
you
just
google
Charlotte
rezoning
and
its
petition
2020
zero
to
seven,
that's
Charlotte,
rezoning,
2020
zero
to
seven.
That
will
take
you
to
the
website
that
the
Planning
Department
maintains
for
this
rezoning
petition
and
there
you
can
find
our
rezoning
application.
B
You
can
find
our
site
plan,
you
can
drill
down
and
read
all
the
fine
print
you'd
like
you
can
also
find
memorandums
from
various
city
departments
that
are
reviewed
and
provided
comments
on
this
rezoning
petition.
Also,
we
will
have
a
copy
of
our
community
meeting
presentation,
which
will
be
our
original
presentation,
and
our
community
meeting
report
will
include
a
summary
of
the
information
that
we're
presenting
today.
A
Thank
You
Colin
I
will
let
everybody
know
that
we're
coming
we're
still
taking
questions
in,
but
we're
answering
them
I
think
faster
than
we're
getting
them.
So
if
you
have
questions,
I'd
encourage
you
to
to
get
them
in
to
us.
The
next
question
is:
will
Crosland
southeast
request
a
CIP
and
TIG
funding
tax
increment
grant
is
what
a
TIG
is,
and
I
will
say
that
we
currently
have
CIP
funding
set
aside
for
the
east
side
that
could
be
used
on
the
eastern
site.
A
That
is
part
of
our
discussions
that
will
be
addressed
in
the
development
agreement,
as
well
as
a
tax.
Increment
grant
is
a
common
tool
that
we
use
in
public-private
partnerships,
and
that
has
been
discussed
as
well
and
will
be
vetted
in
more
detail
through
the
development
agreement
as
we
move
and
continue
this
process
last
two
questions
I
currently
have
right.
The
second
is:
how
can
we
continue
to
provide
feedback
after
this,
and
will
this
video
be
posted
online?
We
will
definitely
post
this
video
online
and
then
you
can
absolutely
continue
to
provide
feedback.
A
A
We
really
want
to
continue
to
hear
from
the
community
and
one
of
the
most
exciting
things
about
this
project,
along
with
the
small
business
and
the
mixture
of
uses
and
what
it
can
do
for
the
east
side
has
been
that
community
engagement
and
we've
gotten
as
far
as
we've
gotten
today
with
Eastland,
because
we've
had
that
engagement,
so
I
encourage
you
to
continue
to
reach
out
with
questions
or
comments.
I
think
I
have
one
more
question.
Thank
you.
A
C
If
you
have
interest
by
all
means
reach
out,
so
the
development
process
like
this
is
time-consuming.
As
you
can
see,
we've
been
working
on
it
now
already
for
eighteen
months
and
and
we're
still
pretty
early
in
the
process.
I
can
tell
you
that
we've
had
lots
of
conversations
with
lots
of
different
businesses
merchants,
both
retail,
some
restaurants,
some
medical
office,
the
home
builders,
for
the
residential
side
and
on
and
on
and
on
the
part
of
the
whole
process
for
the
redevelopment
at
Eastland
is
to
in
some
sense
changed
the
narrative
there's.
C
There
has
been
historically
a
negative
perception
surrounding
this
particular
site,
not
surrounding
East
Charlotte,
but
surrounding
this
particular
site.
Why
have
businesses
not
succeeded
on
that
site?
Why
is
it
been
vacant
for
so
long?
So
we
need
to
change
that
narrative
and
we
have
a
orchestrated
strand
G
for
how
we're
working
on
that,
both
with
the
the
sports
component,
the
residential
component,
the
parks
and
green
space
component.
All
of
those
things
allow
us
to
tell
the
story
to
those
merchants.
Restaurants,
retailers
office,
tenants
that
we'd
like
to
attract.
C
You
know
that
this
is
a
new
environment
for
free
Charlotte,
so
I
can't
get
into
specifics.
With
conversations
I
can
tell
you,
I
had
a
conference
call
yesterday
somebody
new
called
in
it
was
a
big,
pretty
significant
user
and
and
I
spent
a
good
bit
of
time
with
them,
explaining
the
vision
and
the
process
and
the
timing
and
and
I
would
say
they
were
intrigued
as
well,
so
the
marketing
efforts
will
continue.
Thank
you.
A
C
Exactly
right,
so
I
should
also
mention,
while
I
was
off-camera.
I
got
a
text.
Thank
you
from
one
of
your
council
members
who
is
watching
and
wanted
to
call
out
my
shirt
so
for
everybody's
for
everybody's
benefit.
So,
yes,
there's
been
a
very
active
community
engagement
over
700
people,
I
mentioned
earlier
14
different
groups.
C
We've
reached
out
to
a
huge
variety
of
different
groups
representing
really
every
ethnic
group,
any
Charlotte,
some
most
that
are
organized
some
that
are
not
organized
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
weren't
just
getting
input
from
from
one
large
group
and
not
from
all
the
rest.
So
we
were
very
strategic
to
make
sure
that
we
are
getting
conversation
started
with
all
kinds
of
different
groups.
I,
don't
know
if
you
wanted
me
to
get
into
any
more
specifics
than
that,
but
and
and
this
community
engagement
process
is
ongoing.
C
So
to
the
extent
you
have,
a
group
I
was
asked
and
participated
in
addition
in
in
making
presentations
on
the
vision
to
a
number
of
different
groups
that
were
actively
meeting
on
their
own
and
they
said
hey.
Can
you
come
in
and
give
us
an
update
on
the
process
and
the
plan
and
and
I'm
happy
to
do
that
so
to
the
extent
there
are
folks
or
groups
out
there
that
would
like
that
part
of
engagement
we'd
be
happy
to
do
that
as
well.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
Tim.
The
next
converse.
The
next
question
that
we
have
is:
will
development
materials
be
translated
into
multiple
language
languages
I
think
we
can
work
with
others
from
the
east
side,
as
well
as
our
teams
to
see
what
can
trans
be
translated
as
we
move
through
this
process,
not
only
from
the
zoning
piece,
but
the
development
agreement
and
other
materials
that
we
develop
along
the
way.
So,
thank
you
see
if
I
have
another
question.
A
Well,
development
affect
current
development
on
Monroe
Road.
The
anticipation
is
that
it
should
not
impact
current
development
on
Monroe
Road
again.
This
is
something
that
we
really
want
to
see
as
another
asset
into
the
east
side
and
not
necessarily
as
something
that
would
take
away
from
any
other
portion
of
the
east
side.
This
is
intended
to
grow
the.
What
the
east
side
really
really
is
and
celebrate
what
the
east
side
really
is.
A
B
Wanted
to
add
a
little
additional
response
to
the
questions
about
input
and
interaction
on
this
rezoning
petition.
Just
to
give
you
an
update
on
on
where
things
stand
so
again.
This
is
part
two
of
our
community
meeting
and
I'm,
appreciating
that
this
has
been
an
interactive,
hopefully
you're,
getting
some
information.
B
The
next
step
in
the
process
is
currently
we
anticipate
a
public
hearing,
and
this
is
a
unique
petition
and
that
the
city
is
the
property
owner
and
one
of
the
petitioners,
but
understand
that
every
zoning
there's
a
public
hearing
and
that
public
hearing
like
I,
said
it's
currently
scheduled
for
May
18th,
that's
Monday
and
we
are
anticipating
a
distance
public
hearing.
So
for
those
of
you
that
are
interested,
this
will
be
verb
in
front
of
this
in
front
of
the
City
Council.
Our
team
will
make
a
presentation
others
from
the
community.
B
If
you
would
like
to
comment-
or
if
you're
opposed
to
this
and
want
to
express
your
concerns
to
your
City
Council
members,
you
should
reach
out
to
the
city
clerk
by
Monday
morning
and
make
sure
that
you
have
an
opportunity
to
speak.
So
we,
the
council
members,
can
hear
your
input
at
the
public
hearing.
At
that
point
we
expect
the
public
hearing
we've
closed,
but
that's
not
the
end
of
the
process.
B
Following
the
public
hearing,
this
petition
will
go
to
your
zoning
committee
and,
as
any
committee
is
a
volunteer
board
that
will
will
review
this
they'll
make
a
recommendation
to
City
Council
I.
Think
the
chairman
of
the
zoning
committee
is
an
Eastsider
Sam.
Spencer
he's
very
involved.
So
if
you
know
him
feel
free
to
interact
with
him
and
then,
if
we
stay
on
the
current
timeline,
the
petition
would
come
back
before
the
City
Council
on
June
15th
for
a
decision.
So
this
is
a
process.
B
We
found
our
rezoning
application
in
January,
so
we're
going
on
a
little
bit
more
than
six
months,
but
we're
not
at
the
end
of
the
line,
there's
an
opportunity
for
you
to
speak
directly
to
the
public,
to
the
City
Council
at
the
public
hearing
for
you
to
interact
with
your
zoning
committee
members
and
then
ultimately,
our
City
Council
will
make
a
decision.
Earliest
possible
decision
would
be
June
15th.
A
Thank
You
Colin.
The
next
question
that
we
got
are:
what
are
the
anchor
institutions
plan
to
be
integrated
on
the
site?
What
I
would
say
to
that
is
I
think
in
order
to
have
successful
mixed-use
developments
after
you
almost
have
to
look
at
all
the
pieces
as
anchors
in
their
own
in
their
own
right
and
so
as
Tim
walked
through
the
big
idea
plan.
You
know
the
the
residents
actually
are
actually
seen
as
an
anchor
to
this
interval
into
the
success
of
it.
A
You
have
the
two
schools
of
movement,
school
and
CMS
that
are
site
adjacent.
The
retail
is
a
big
piece
as
well
as
the
sports
component
to
it.
You
also
have
the
heart
of
it.
Is
the
meat
and
eat
where
the
community
really
can
come
together
as
a
part
of
it?
All
these
components
together,
I
think
make
the
success
so
I
don't
see
it
as
we
have
one
particular
anchor,
but
that
the
all
of
the
pieces
are
mixed
into
it.
A
C
A
And
we
have
one
last
question:
this
is
what
transportation
options
will
be
available
beyond
cars
and
I
think
we
talked
about
the
integration
of
the
Transit
Center,
so
obviously,
we'll
have
bus
access.
We
are
looking
at
bike
and
ped
mobility.
We
address
that
or
earlier,
but
then
also
remind
everybody
that
this
is.
A
This
is
on
the
third
extension
or
phase
three
of
the
Gold
Line
as
well,
and
so
the
transportation
options
and
mobility
options
are
in
the
forefront,
as
we
think
through
the
planning
of
this
site
and
how
people
will
be
able
to
access
the
site.
So
with
that,
if
we
had
any
last
comments
from
Tim
from
Collin,
great
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
being
here
today
again,
we
will
be
happy
to
continue
to
take
questions
and
comments
from
the
community.
