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
A
All
right
I'd
like
to
ask
if
you
would
please
either
silence
or
turn
off
your
cell
phones
and
today
we're
operating
on
a
much
different
circumstances,
as
most
meetings
are
now
being
held.
We
have
some
commissioners
that
are
watching
by
television
or
or
online
in
a
live
stream
and
will
be
forwarding
questions
to
me
via
text.
So,
yes,
I'll
be
looking
down
at
my
phone
a
few
times,
so
we'll
be
getting
comments
and
questions
from
them
and
please
be
patient
with
us.
A
A
We
will
first
hear
a
reading
of
the
staff
report
for
the
case
by
planning
staff
then
ask
the
applicant
to
come
forward
to
provide
a
brief
overview
of
the
request.
We
will
then
give
the
opportunity
for
anyone
in
the
audience
to
speak,
for
or
against
that
said,
request
or
to
inquire
about
that
request.
A
A
The
city
council
of
columbus
will
hold
a
public
meeting
called
the
first
meeting
first
reading
said,
council
shall
consider
the
case
review
our
decision
and
planning
department
recommendations
and
hear
discussion
on
the
matter.
Council
will
make
a
final
decision
at
a
second
public
meeting
called
the
second
reading
all
right.
Our
first
item
normally
is
minutes,
and
we
do
not
have
minutes
from
the
previous
meeting
to
vote
on
this
morning,
so
we
will
go
forward
with
the
cases.
A
All
right
first
case.
Rezoning
case
is
r

is
a
request
to
resume
0.82
acres
of
land
located
at

18th
street
current
zoning
is
gc
general
commercial
proposed
zoning
is
nc,
neighborhood
commercial
and
it's
with
conditions.
The
proposed
use
is
pharmacy.
Austin
gower
is
the
applicant.
This
property
is
located
in
council
district,
seven
mimi
woodson,
we'll
hear
from
planning
first
on
staff
report.
Yes,.
B
Sir,
this
is
the
rezoning
case
that
was
delayed
last
time.
Austin
gower
is
the
owner
applicant.
Since
then
he
has
given
the
city
the
power
of
attorney
to
move
forward
in
the
down
zoning
of
his
property.
So,
while
technically
he
is
not
here,
the
city
is
the
applicant.
So
before
I
read
the
staff
report,
let's
see
if
there's
any
questions
any.
C
B
No,
we
reached
out
to
to
city
attorney.
He
said
because
it's
in
the
city's
best
interest
to
down
zone
that
property
that
it's
no
different
than
if
we
did
the
the
bradley
park
rezoning
where
we
reached
out
to
everyone
and
asked
them
if
we
could
basically
rezone
all
of
their
property
to
to
match
which
what
fit
the
area.
This
is
very
similar
to
that.
Okay,.
B
General
general
land
use
is
consistent
planning
area
d.
Currently,
news
designation
is
general
commercial
future
is
office
and
professional.
It
is
compatible
with
the
existing
land
uses.
The
property
does
not
lie
within
the
flood
way
and
flood
plain
area.
The
developer
will
need
an
improved
drainage
plan
prior
to
the
issuance
of
a
site
development
permit.
If
a
permit
is
required,
the
property
is
served
by
all
city
services,
average
average
annual
daily
trips
will
increase
by
111
trips.
If
used
for
commercial
usage,
the
level
of
service
will
remain
a
level
b.
B
B
A
All
right,
thank
you,
mr
renpro.
Anybody
have
any
questions,
mr
renfrow,
regarding
this
case,
we
do
have
two
that
are.
I
know
this
is
off
the
case,
but
we
do
have
two
other
operating
virtually
this
morning,
so
I
just
wanted
you
to
know
that
they
are
online
and
they've.
Let
me
know
that
they
are
there
all
right.
Well,
that
said,
I
believe
I
don't
believe,
there's
anyone.
The
audience
wants
to
come
up
and
speak
on
this
case,
and
you
understood
what
he
said
in
his
remarks.
C
A
Have
a
motion
to
approve:
do
we
have
a
second
have
a
second
from
mr
thomas,
any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
to
approve
this
case,
raise
your
right
hand
and
all
opposed
all
right,
and
I
have
a
yes
vote
for
mr
dudley
all
right
and

A
Anyone
all
right,
I
don't
have
any
questions
from
those
that
are
watching
virtually
all
right.
Is
there
anyone
the
audience
needs
to
come
forward
at
this
time
and
present
this
case
and
tell
us
what
your
plans
are.
We
need
you
to
come
to
the
podium
and
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
D
I
just
have
a
few
remarks
and
I
will
tell
you
what
we
are
planning
again
good
morning.
My
name
is
kevin.
Buckner,
I'm,
the
principal
owner
of
the
development
company
that
is
asking
for
the
rezoning
of
the
parcel
from
lmi
to
ro
tbg
is
a
multi-family
developer
that
builds
workforce
housing
for
moderate
to
low-income
wage
earners.
We
are
currently
a
vertically
oriented,
I'm
sorry
we're
a
very
clear
owned
business,
which
means
that
we're
not
only
developers,
but
we
do
our
own
construction
and
management
of
our
developments.
D
For
those
of
you
that
travel
warm
springs
road,
we
are
currently
doing
a
development
right
next
to
flat
rock
park.
The
property
we're
asking
to
be
re-zoned
is
an
lmi.
I
understand
that
it
isn't
a
perfect.
D
I
bring
this
to
the
board's
attention,
as
there
are
just
many
moderate
income
jobs
being
created,
but
there
is
no
rental.
Affordable
housing
available
the
site
of
bud's
fall
line.
Trace,
is
adjacent
to
midland
middle
school
and
is
a
short
three
blocks
from
metro's
route.
Six,
though
there
are
no
current
development
plans
for
the
remaining
acreage
that
wc
bradley
owns,
w.c
bradley
owns
an
additional
70
acres
so
for
them
to
put
this
under
contract
for
us,
they
see
that
affordable
housing
for
what
their
future
plans
are
would
be
a
good
use.
D
Our
development
will
have
will
be
approximately
140
units
over
a
three
or
four
year
period.
Our
development
will
have
a
clubhouse
workout
facilities,
computer
center,
outdoor
pool
and
splash
center
and
playground.
D
We
have
the
support
of
the
columbus
community
reinvestment
development
department,
who
also
sees
the
need
for
affordable
housing,
and
I
would
urge
the
vote
to
vote
in
favor
of
the
sony
request,
as
the
need
for
our
proposed
development
is
great.
The
approval
of
this
sony
request
accomplishes
two
main
goals,
which
is
certainly
the
growing
need
for
new,
safe
and
clean,
affordable
housing,
and
secondly,
this
will
create
some
barrier
to
other
multi-family
development
being
built
in
more
public
sensitive
areas.
D
D
I
understand
it's
an
lmi
district
and
we
don't
necessarily
fit
into
the
future
land
use
plans,
but
that
whole
area
is
changing,
and
so,
when
we
talk
about
bringing
affordable
housing
to
columbus
and
especially
to
the
northeast
sector
of
the
the
city
which
is
so
important,
we're
putting
housing
in
an
area
that
in
some
way
is
tucked
back,
it
doesn't
look
like
it's.
Maybe
the
perfect
use,
but
on
the
other
hand,
if
we
came
to
in
front
of
the
commission
and
said
hey,
we
want
to
have
our
own
zoning
or
multifamily.
D
You
know
that's
next
to
a
residential
area,
there's
a
lot
of
pushback.
So
in
this
case
you
know
we
feel
like
it's
an
appropriate
use,
because
what
we're
building
does
fit
into
the
area,
because
that
lmi
district
is
really
changing.
That
whole
area
is
changing
and
you
don't
have
any
affordable
housing
in
that
northeast
sector,
so
people
want
to
work
and
live
nearby.
Having
affordable
housing
will
create
new
jobs
and
allow
people
to
work
near
live
where
they
work.
D
A
I
do
I
do
have
a
question.
I
want
you
to
define
what
is
affordable
housing.
D
D
Yeah,
affordable,
it's
it's
an
easy
one:
affordable
housing
is
a
better
name,
for
it
is
workforce
housing
all
of
our
residents.
It
specifically.
We
are
renting
to
people
that
earn
60
or
less
of
the
area
median
income,
all
of
our
residents,
have
jobs,
they're
all
underwritten,
to
make
sure
that
they
can
financially
afford
their.
They
all
pay
rent.
None
of
this
is
section
8
housing
and
they
it's
it's
somebody
that
is
going
to
work
over
midland
commons.
It
may
be
a
family
that
is
earning
35,
40
000
jointly.
D
It
may
be
a
single
mother
with
children
that
just
can't
afford
to
live
in
that
area
because
there
isn't
good,
affordable
housing.
So
what
we
build
is
really
nice.
If
you
go
when
you
see
what
we
were
when
we're
finished
over
in
warm
springs,
road
you'll,
look
at
it
and
other
than
seeing
new
multi-family.
You
won't
know
that
it's
affordable
housing.
You
won't
look
at
and
go.
Oh,
my
goodness.
This
is
affordable
housing.
D
So
what
we
build
is
high
quality
in
many
cases
nicer
than
new
multi-family,
that's
being
built
or
even
some
townhouses,
but
it
specifically
is
rented
to
people
that
have
are
lower
income
earners
they're,
not
people
that
are
on.
You
know,
people
that
we
also
have
standards.
D
If
you
don't
earn
enough
money,
you
can't
live
there
just
because
we're
affordable
doesn't
mean
that
everybody
can
live
there,
so
60
or
or
less
of
the
area
median
income,
so
people
that
are
earning,
probably
in
a
sliver
of
you,
know
forty
eight
thousand
dollars
to
thirty
thousand
dollars
somewhere
in
that
in
that
range,
as
a
family
income.
A
Well,
give
me
an
example
of
one
of
the
units
say
a
two
bedroom
two
bath.
A
Well,
I
don't
know
what
you're
building
exactly
but
give
me
an
example
of
what
the
rent
would
be
on
say
something
like
that.
D
Mr,
I
would
say
that
the
rent
will
be
somewhere
in
the
seven
to
700
to
800
range
for
a
two
bedroom.
It
could
be
a
little
bit.
It
could
be
a
little
bit
lower.
I
should
have
brought
that
with
me
all
right.
A
D
We
would
rather
build
family
tenancy
because
that's
what
there's
a
need
for,
though,
if
the
board
thought
a
senior
facility
would
be
more
appropriate,
we
could
also
do
senior
if
people
are
very
worried
about
the
school.
But
to
answer
your
question,
the
residents,
you
know
we
have
20
21
other
developments
and
we
do
a
lot
of
research.
D
The
it
doesn't
impact
the
schools
in
the
way
that
you
would
think
it
does,
because
we
are
just
offering
affordable
housing
for
people
that
are
already
in
the
school
system.
People
that
live
on
in
in
south
columbus,
don't
move
up
to
north
columbus
for
our
affordable,
affordable
housing.
You
know
our
market
study
will
will
cut
off
probably
a
good
50
percent
of
the
city,
so
people
that
people
might
go
from
one
school
to
another,
but
these
are
students
that
are
going
to
be
in
the
school
area.
Anyways.
D
D
It's
the
three
bedrooms
which
we
limit
that
probably
use
the
school
more
so
first,
the
multi-family
doesn't
create
as
much
use
on
schools
as
you
would
think,
but
it
does
I'm
not
saying
that
it
doesn't
and
the
other
side
of
it
is
that,
typically,
our
program
is
used
for
people
to
live
there,
and
then
they
tend
to
move
on
to
home
ownership.
A
D
The
answer
is:
we've
done,
research
on
certain
other
properties
of
ours
and
done
and
taken
a
look
at
areas
of
and
talk
to,
the
police
department
got
their
reports
or
the
fire
department
to
see
how
many
other
extra
trips-
and
the
answer
is
because
of
the
way
we
manage
our
properties
and
who
we
let
in
our
properties.
D
The
answer
is:
no,
there
isn't,
there
is
absolutely
no
more
crime
and-
and
I
can
make
an
argument
because
we
manage
our
own
properties-
we're
we're
the
owner
contractor
and
management
company,
there's
less
crime
with
us
than
many
other
properties
just
because
of
the
type
we
it's
how
we
manage.
We
have
on-site
management
and
we
have
owners
like
myself
on
our
properties,
quarterly.
D
A
Mr
thomas,
I
think,
has
a
question
down
here.
Excuse
me,
sir,
is
this
a
gated
area.
D
We
tend
not
to
put
gated
areas
in
for
us
gated
areas,
and
I
would
think
market
is
more
of
a
marketing
issue.
If
you
said
we'd
like
it
gated,
we
would
but
gated
areas
tend
to
cause
even
for
market
rate
developers
calls
at
midnight
when
people
are
crashing
through
the
gates,
it's
more
of
a
marketing
issue
than
a
security
issue.
Okay,
but
we
could,
if
that
was
important,
but
we
typically
don't.
Okay,.
E
D
It's
a
really
good
question,
and
typically,
what
we
will
do
is
we
will
sit
down
with
the
we
will
try
to
do
a
phase
two.
Typically
that
phase
one
is
just
opening
we'll
have
to
take
a
look
at
phase
two
and
typically,
we
will
sit
down
with
the
building
department
and
and
talk
to
them
about
their
feelings,
because
oftentimes,
if
we
can
show
a
way
where
we
can
block
off
phase
two
and
keep
those
residents
in
phase
one
from
reaching
phase
two
for
safety
issues,
I
mean
your
issue.
Your
concerns
are
our
concerns.
D
A
D
Yeah,
in
fact,
you
know
it's
very
possible.
I
and
I
haven't,
talked
to
the
the
school
board
or
the
the
transportation
part,
but
it's
possible
that
the
bus
might
just
pick
them
up
at
jamison
and
flat
rock.
I
don't
know
that
it
would
be
a
short
walk
for
the
first
students.
A
D
All
right,
thank
you,
mr
buckman.
I
appreciate
your
time.
I
understand
it's
not
clear-cut,
but
I
appreciate
the
time
that
you
guys
are
asking
the
questions
that
you
have
thanks.
So
much.
A
A
F
A
A
We
have
one
two
three
four
for
it
and
we
have
and
anyone
to
deny
and
one
one
that
is
against
the
motion.
So
it
carries
five
with
mr
dudley
to
one
and
I'm
kind
of
giving
miss
brown
a
minute
to
see
if
she
votes.
A
A
B
A
And
I'd
like
to
thank
the
service
of
mr
joseph
brandon
here
to
my
left,
you're
right
and
mr
bobby
bollinger
over
here.
You
have
been
exemplary
commissioners,
we
thank
you
for
your
time
and
your
effort
and
the
city
of
columbus,
I'm
sure
appreciate
you.
