But 905 00:58:44,618 --> 00:58:46,819 we're not in ordinary times. 906 00:58:46,819 --> 00:58:48,488 We're in in a time of attacks 907 00:58:48,488 --> 00:58:50,557 on self-government across our 908 00:58:50,557 --> 00:58:52,525 country and here in nashville, 909 00:58:52,525 --> 00:58:54,261 the proposed boring company 910 00:58:54,261 --> 00:58:56,290 tunnel is not an ordinary 911 00:58:56,290 --> 00:58:58,164 policy question. It's it's an 912 00:58:58,164 --> 00:59:00,366 attack on self-government in 913 00:59:00,366 --> 00:59:01,868 nashville. It's a hostile 914 00:59:01,868 --> 00:59:03,203 construction project that 915 00:59:03,203 --> 00:59:04,738 wealthy special interests want 916 00:59:04,738 --> 00:59:06,339 to impose on the people of our 917 00:59:06,339 --> 00:59:08,708 city without their support or 918 00:59:08,708 --> 00:59:09,910 even their participation. We've 919 00:59:09,910 --> 00:59:11,544 seen that before in history, 920 00:59:11,544 --> 00:59:13,647 and it's never been good. I see 921 00:59:13,647 --> 00:59:15,816 it as my duty. I see it as our 922 00:59:15,816 --> 00:59:18,180 duty to do everything we can to 923 00:59:18,180 --> 00:59:19,820 stop and oppose it. And that 924 00:59:19,820 --> 00:59:21,820 includes confirming only 925 00:59:22,989 --> 00:59:23,756 nominees that will do the same. 926 00:59:23,756 --> 00:59:25,192 The tunnel. 927 00:59:25,192 --> 00:59:26,326 Quiet, please. 928 00:59:26,326 --> 00:59:26,626 Quiet, please. 929 00:59:26,626 --> 00:59:28,600 The tunnel 930 00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:29,896 doesn't even pretend to work 931 00:59:29,896 --> 00:59:31,364 with our neighborhoods or our 932 00:59:31,364 --> 00:59:33,232 transportation network. Almost 933 00:59:33,232 --> 00:59:34,501 none of our population lives 934 00:59:34,501 --> 00:59:36,102 anywhere near where they want 935 00:59:36,102 --> 00:59:37,737 it to go, and nobody can drive 936 00:59:37,737 --> 00:59:38,938 their car into this tunnel. You 937 00:59:38,938 --> 00:59:40,606 still got to get downtown with 938 00:59:40,606 --> 00:59:41,874 your suitcase somehow. Pay to 939 00:59:41,874 --> 00:59:43,709 park down there, and then get 940 00:59:43,709 --> 00:59:46,450 into the tunnel and pay to use 941 00:59:46,450 --> 00:59:47,513 that. All that does is take 942 00:59:47,513 --> 00:59:50,513 congestion at the airport and 943 00:59:51,421 --> 00:59:51,488 shift it into downtown. That is 944 00:59:51,488 --> 00:59:52,919 not a serious transportation 945 00:59:52,919 --> 00:59:55,540 idea, and it that doesn't even 946 00:59:55,540 --> 00:59:56,890 get into the environmental 947 00:59:56,890 --> 00:59:57,257 issues, the lack of 948 00:59:57,257 --> 00:59:59,257 accessibility standards, the 949 00:59:59,526 --> 01:00:00,927 loss of local jobs, the cost to 950 01:00:00,927 --> 01:00:03,362 our first responders, or our 951 01:00:03,362 --> 01:00:04,831 electrical grid. This tunnel is 952 01:00:04,831 --> 01:00:05,865 not for nashvillians, it's for 953 01:00:05,865 --> 01:00:07,166 tourists. They actually admit 954 01:00:07,166 --> 01:00:08,501 this, and that's why they want 955 01:00:08,501 --> 01:00:10,360 a station at the convention 956 01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:11,337 center. But that convention 957 01:00:11,337 --> 01:00:14,173 center is owned by the people 958 01:00:14,173 --> 01:00:15,941 of nashville. Now, I want to be 959 01:00:15,941 --> 01:00:17,877 a welcoming city, but it's high 960 01:00:17,877 --> 01:00:20,120 time we stop focusing our 961 01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:21,347 public policy on tourism. The 962 01:00:21,347 --> 01:00:22,848 whole point of the convention 963 01:00:22,848 --> 01:00:24,250 center was to help generate 964 01:00:24,250 --> 01:00:26,119 revenue to spend back on the 965 01:00:26,119 --> 01:00:27,520 people of nashville, not to 966 01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,210 prioritize tourists over 967 01:00:29,210 --> 01:00:31,257 nashvillians. Three of our 968 01:00:31,257 --> 01:00:32,291 nominees tonight have told us, 969 01:00:32,291 --> 01:00:33,426 though, that they take a 970 01:00:33,426 --> 01:00:35,361 positive view or are open to 971 01:00:35,361 --> 01:00:37,263 this idea. I trust that they 972 01:00:37,263 --> 01:00:38,464 have come to that view in good 973 01:00:38,464 --> 01:00:40,266 faith. But as we've seen, the 974 01:00:40,266 --> 01:00:41,299 tunnel is bad policy and more 975 01:00:41,299 --> 01:00:42,401 basically, it's an attack on 976 01:00:42,401 --> 01:00:43,269 our self-government. I can't 977 01:00:43,269 --> 01:00:44,770 support these nominees for 978 01:00:44,770 --> 01:00:45,471 those reasons. It's not 979 01:00:45,471 --> 01:00:46,572 personal. These are 980 01:00:46,572 --> 01:00:48,400 distinguished nominees who have 981 01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:49,108 offered their time to public 982 01:00:49,108 --> 01:00:51,210 service. But that's not the 983 01:00:51,210 --> 01:00:53,112 question before us tonight. The 984 01:00:53,112 --> 01:00:55,247 question is who governs our 985 01:00:55,247 --> 01:00:57,830 city and for whose benefit? The 986 01:00:57,830 --> 01:00:58,830 answer should be. The people of 987 01:00:58,830 --> 01:00:59,585 nashville. Remember when they 988 01:00:59,585 --> 01:01:01,860 told us that the tunnel project 989 01:01:01,860 --> 01:01:02,221 would be done without any cost 990 01:01:02,221 --> 01:01:03,856 to the taxpayer? That promise 991 01:01:03,856 --> 01:01:05,791 didn't even last for one 992 01:01:05,791 --> 01:01:07,920 weekend. Already the state 993 01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:08,527 government is spending your 994 01:01:08,527 --> 01:01:10,290 taxes and mine to help this 995 01:01:10,290 --> 01:01:11,597 special billionaire company 996 01:01:11,597 --> 01:01:12,765 evade the normal rules in order 997 01:01:12,765 --> 01:01:14,500 to get this tunnel built. That 998 01:01:14,500 --> 01:01:15,701 is the height of money in 999 01:01:15,701 --> 01:01:17,603 politics, and we don't have to 1000 01:01:17,603 --> 01:01:18,771 go along with it. They've given 1001 01:01:18,771 --> 01:01:20,506 up pretending that the tunnel 1002 01:01:20,506 --> 01:01:21,607 is popular or that it will 1003 01:01:21,607 --> 01:01:23,308 benefit the people, but they 1004 01:01:23,308 --> 01:01:25,511 are pretending that it is 1005 01:01:25,511 --> 01:01:27,346 inevitable. But it's not. In 1006 01:01:27,346 --> 01:01:28,380 fact, we have here tonight a 1007 01:01:28,380 --> 01:01:30,149 tangible chance to stand 1008 01:01:30,149 --> 01:01:31,317 against it.

However, 1036 01:02:20,199 --> 01:02:21,367 I disagree that this is a 1037 01:02:21,367 --> 01:02:23,702 referendum on the tunnel. This 1038 01:02:23,702 --> 01:02:26,400 is not a referendum on the 1039 01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:28,404 tesla tunnel. This confirmation 1040 01:02:30,642 --> 01:02:32,777 does not solidify any position 1041 01:02:32,777 --> 01:02:34,547 on the tesla tunnel. This 1042 01:02:34,547 --> 01:02:37,820 confirmation is to the music 1043 01:02:37,820 --> 01:02:40,180 city convention board.

This body has 1050 01:02:55,834 --> 01:02:59,710 no authority over and to to to 1051 01:02:59,710 --> 01:03:02,671 suggest that we use our power 1052 01:03:03,409 --> 01:03:07,900 as council members to punish or 1053 01:03:09,581 --> 01:03:11,617 to retaliate against volunteers. 1054 01:03:11,617 --> 01:03:13,751 Mind you, these are not paid 1055 01:03:13,751 --> 01:03:15,654 positions.

Some 1219 01:09:25,221 --> 01:09:26,423 of you remember that. And I 1220 01:09:26,423 --> 01:09:28,823 remember what happened after 1221 01:09:28,859 --> 01:09:30,326 that. The council culture of 1222 01:09:30,326 --> 01:09:32,495 people going against each other 1223 01:09:32,495 --> 01:09:34,297 because of one vote. I was on 1224 01:09:34,297 --> 01:09:35,598 the other side of that. And 1225 01:09:35,598 --> 01:09:37,467 what I kept telling everybody 1226 01:09:37,467 --> 01:09:40,803 is that if we have to continue 1227 01:09:40,803 --> 01:09:43,206 to build, we cannot forget the 1228 01:09:43,206 --> 01:09:44,306 99% of times that we agree and 1229 01:09:44,306 --> 01:09:47,430 write each other off because of 1230 01:09:47,430 --> 01:09:48,278 that 1% or one vote. That's 1231 01:09:48,278 --> 01:09:50,513 what I'm looking at here. I 1232 01:09:50,513 --> 01:09:52,150 know tracy, I know alfred, I 1233 01:09:52,150 --> 01:09:53,283 know the work that ou've done. 1234 01:09:53,283 --> 01:09:55,184 I've known them for a long time. 1235 01:09:55,184 --> 01:09:56,319 And I think the body of work 1236 01:09:56,319 --> 01:09:58,870 that you've put forward for 1237 01:09:58,870 --> 01:10:00,156 this town, for this city, for 1238 01:10:00,156 --> 01:10:02,250 the community, how to ways a 1239 01:10:02,250 --> 01:10:03,760 vote that is hypothetical. And 1240 01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:05,227 I said it's hypothetical 1241 01:10:05,227 --> 01:10:06,596 because at the time, and I 1242 01:10:06,596 --> 01:10:08,164 talked to alfred, my 1243 01:10:08,164 --> 01:10:10,660 understanding is that they said 1244 01:10:10,660 --> 01:10:11,670 they're open to looking at more 1245 01:10:11,670 --> 01:10:12,568 information. They want to hear 1246 01:10:12,568 --> 01:10:13,770 more. I don't think there's any 1247 01:10:13,770 --> 01:10:15,504 more information that needs to 1248 01:10:15,504 --> 01:10:17,373 be looked at. I think that it 1249 01:10:17,373 --> 01:10:18,508 should be no for boring, and 1250 01:10:18,508 --> 01:10:20,410 i'll continue to say that, but 1251 01:10:20,410 --> 01:10:22,411 we do disagree on that one. But 1252 01:10:22,411 --> 01:10:23,512 I do not want to write off 1253 01:10:23,512 --> 01:10:24,547 people that are capable, people 1254 01:10:24,547 --> 01:10:26,382 that step forward, people that 1255 01:10:26,382 --> 01:10:27,417 have done work over the years 1256 01:10:27,417 --> 01:10:28,584 just because I disagree with 1257 01:10:28,584 --> 01:10:30,486 them on one thing. And so 1258 01:10:30,486 --> 01:10:32,388 that's why I think we have to 1259 01:10:32,388 --> 01:10:33,522 continue to do that. We would 1260 01:10:33,522 --> 01:10:34,724 never there's no place in our 1261 01:10:34,724 --> 01:10:37,260 democracy where we're going to 1262 01:10:37,260 --> 01:10:38,695 agree 100%. And if we continue 1263 01:10:38,695 --> 01:10:40,229 to do this council culture 1264 01:10:40,229 --> 01:10:41,898 one item, we will continue to 1265 01:10:41,898 --> 01:10:43,499 lose people under the tent 1266 01:10:43,499 --> 01:10:44,633 because not everybody will 1267 01:10:44,633 --> 01:10:45,701 think the way we are. Not 1268 01:10:45,701 --> 01:10:47,603 everybody will arrive at the 1269 01:10:47,603 --> 01:10:48,871 same conclusion as we do. But 1270 01:10:48,871 --> 01:10:50,873 if every time somebody votes we 1271 01:10:50,873 --> 01:10:53,750 the way we don't want to, we 1272 01:10:53,750 --> 01:10:55,612 write them off. We continue to 1273 01:10:55,612 --> 01:10:57,746 lose people that are like 1274 01:10:57,746 --> 01:10:58,847 minded 99% of the time. And so 1275 01:10:58,847 --> 01:11:01,416 for that reason, I will be 1276 01:11:01,416 --> 01:11:03,586 voting yes. And I, and I do 1277 01:11:03,586 --> 01:11:04,686 believe that based on the 1278 01:11:04,686 --> 01:11:06,422 construction of that committee, 1279 01:11:06,422 --> 01:11:08,240 based on the state taking over, 1280 01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:09,492 there's not going to be another 1281 01:11:09,492 --> 01:11:11,459 vote on that. But I do think 1282 01:11:11,459 --> 01:11:13,195 the composition now we will be 1283 01:11:13,195 --> 01:11:15,131 able to stop it. And I do hope 1284 01:11:15,131 --> 01:11:16,232 that the people that are being 1285 01:11:16,232 --> 01:11:19,670 confirmed, when they do get the 1286 01:11:19,670 --> 01:11:20,369 opportunity, that will be 100% 1287 01:11:20,369 --> 01:11:22,204 the next time they vote and not 1288 01:11:22,204 --> 01:11:24,306 99. But I'm asking everyone to 1289 01:11:24,306 --> 01:11:25,774 please remember that, that we 1290 01:11:25,774 --> 01:11:27,376 cannot keep writing each other 1291 01:11:27,376 --> 01:11:29,110 off over one thing. And I want 1292 01:11:29,110 --> 01:11:30,913 to take the work that tracy's 1293 01:11:30,913 --> 01:11:33,140 done, that alfred is done.

But we are 2860 02:07:52,277 --> 02:07:54,277 talking about 59 intersections. 2861 02:07:54,413 --> 02:07:57,283 I believe we have, you know, 2862 02:07:57,283 --> 02:07:58,450 something in the realm of of 2863 02:07:58,450 --> 02:08:00,252 750.

That does not mean 2882 02:08:26,144 --> 02:08:27,613 that they are going to be 2883 02:08:27,613 --> 02:08:29,215 recommended for no right on red. 2884 02:08:29,215 --> 02:08:30,816 It means that indot will take 2885 02:08:30,816 --> 02:08:32,251 the time to study those. And 2886 02:08:32,251 --> 02:08:34,200 the legislation initially had 2887 02:08:34,200 --> 02:08:36,122 asked them to accomplish that 2888 02:08:36,122 --> 02:08:39,424 work in, you know, like 90 days, 2889 02:08:39,424 --> 02:08:41,193 which would be a tremendous 2890 02:08:41,193 --> 02:08:42,427 undertaking to study that many 2891 02:08:42,427 --> 02:08:44,463 intersections. So I appreciate 2892 02:08:44,463 --> 02:08:45,964 that the substitute has sort of 2893 02:08:45,964 --> 02:08:48,670 stretched that 90 day call out 2894 02:08:48,670 --> 02:08:49,167 to nine months. One thing I was 2895 02:08:49,167 --> 02:08:51,169 really concerned about with the 2896 02:08:51,169 --> 02:08:52,371 90 days was, you know, we're 2897 02:08:52,371 --> 02:08:53,605 going to be studying a lot of 2898 02:08:53,605 --> 02:08:55,574 these intersections.

Chair horton, recognize, 3224 02:19:35,770 --> 02:19:36,278 sir. 3225 02:19:36,278 --> 02:19:37,379 Thank you, vice mayor. I 3226 02:19:37,379 --> 02:19:39,815 think it's useful to provide 3227 02:19:39,815 --> 02:19:40,983 some context around this. The 3228 02:19:40,983 --> 02:19:41,984 planning staff is not here. 3229 02:19:41,984 --> 02:19:43,119 This was unanimously 3230 02:19:43,119 --> 02:19:45,220 disapproved at the planning 3231 02:19:45,220 --> 02:19:46,356 commission. This is a down zone 3232 02:19:46,356 --> 02:19:48,570 of a property against the 3233 02:19:48,570 --> 02:19:49,492 wishes of the property owner. 3234 02:19:49,492 --> 02:19:51,194 It's also against land use 3235 02:19:51,194 --> 02:19:52,895 policy. The current zoning with 3236 02:19:52,895 --> 02:19:54,300 the s p is in alignment with 3237 02:19:54,300 --> 02:19:55,598 the land use policy governing 3238 02:19:55,598 --> 02:19:57,633 this parcel. The rezoning back 3239 02:19:57,633 --> 02:19:59,601 to a r2a would bring it out of 3240 02:19:59,601 --> 02:20:01,300 alignment with land use policy. 3241 02:20:01,300 --> 02:20:02,204 The property owner has showed 3242 02:20:02,204 --> 02:20:03,305 up at multiple public hearings 3243 02:20:03,305 --> 02:20:05,307 and committee and the planning 3244 02:20:05,307 --> 02:20:06,642 commission to express their 3245 02:20:06,642 --> 02:20:07,643 desire not to have their rights 3246 02:20:07,643 --> 02:20:09,745 taken away from them with 3247 02:20:09,745 --> 02:20:10,747 respect to their property. I 3248 02:20:10,747 --> 02:20:13,147 question whether deferral and 3249 02:20:13,282 --> 02:20:15,500 dragging this out in creating 3250 02:20:15,500 --> 02:20:15,751 further and dragging out the 3251 02:20:15,751 --> 02:20:18,200 uncertainty for the property 3252 02:20:18,200 --> 02:20:19,755 owner is appropriate at this 3253 02:20:19,755 --> 02:20:20,823 time, but would welcome any 3254 02:20:20,823 --> 02:20:21,560 other council members thoughts 3255 02:20:21,560 --> 02:20:23,560 as well. 3256 02:20:23,392 --> 02:20:24,326 All right. MISS Stiles, 3257 02:20:24,326 --> 02:20:26,261 did you want to say something 3258 02:20:26,261 --> 02:20:27,330 further on the deferral 3259 02:20:27,330 --> 02:20:28,331 specifically? 3260 02:20:28,331 --> 02:20:29,865 Yes. So the 3261 02:20:29,865 --> 02:20:31,334 reason for the deferral is the 3262 02:20:31,334 --> 02:20:33,334 additional conversation spoke 3263 02:20:34,136 --> 02:20:36,672 with the landowner this evening. 3264 02:20:36,672 --> 02:20:38,140 I expressed one, I did the 3265 02:20:38,140 --> 02:20:39,508 rezone. This is not a property 3266 02:20:39,508 --> 02:20:40,777 in my district that was done by 3267 02:20:40,777 --> 02:20:43,512 a previous council member, and 3268 02:20:43,512 --> 02:20:46,415 I'm proposing down zoning it. I 3269 02:20:46,415 --> 02:20:48,284 shared this in committee. This 3270 02:20:48,284 --> 02:20:49,685 has been something that passed 3271 02:20:49,685 --> 02:20:51,860 three years ago. There's been 3272 02:20:51,860 --> 02:20:52,121 no there's been no 3273 02:20:52,121 --> 02:20:53,655 communication from this 3274 02:20:53,655 --> 02:20:56,525 landowner. The property is in 3275 02:20:56,525 --> 02:20:59,525 disarray. Codes has been out. 3276 02:21:00,396 --> 02:21:02,231 And so my desire to down zone 3277 02:21:02,231 --> 02:21:03,632 it. Given that nothing happened, 3278 02:21:03,632 --> 02:21:05,467 there hadn't been any 3279 02:21:05,467 --> 02:21:07,369 communication. And that is 3280 02:21:07,369 --> 02:21:09,138 unusual in my district. We did 3281 02:21:09,138 --> 02:21:11,206 have a good conversation this 3282 02:21:11,206 --> 02:21:12,741 evening and he was amenable to 3283 02:21:12,741 --> 02:21:16,678 it. I told him that I would 3284 02:21:16,678 --> 02:21:18,447 defer this until NOVEMBER. And 3285 02:21:18,447 --> 02:21:19,848 so we are going to sit down and 3286 02:21:19,848 --> 02:21:21,449 we're going to talk, and I'm 3287 02:21:21,449 --> 02:21:23,485 going to go see some of the 3288 02:21:23,485 --> 02:21:25,320 things that he has built. So we 3289 02:21:25,320 --> 02:21:27,550 have a step forward. 3290 02:21:27,550 --> 02:21:29,550 All righty. 3291 02:21:29,258 --> 02:21:32,828 On the motion to defer council 3292 02:21:32,828 --> 02:21:33,862 member parker. 3293 02:21:33,862 --> 02:21:35,862 Yes, thank you, 3294 02:21:36,698 --> 02:21:38,266 vice mayor. I have a little bit 3295 02:21:38,266 --> 02:21:39,368 of consternation about 3296 02:21:39,368 --> 02:21:42,170 continuing to kick the can on 3297 02:21:42,170 --> 02:21:43,505 this, just based on some of the 3298 02:21:43,505 --> 02:21:45,540 discussion that we had in 3299 02:21:45,540 --> 02:21:48,540 committee the other day. You 3300 02:21:48,944 --> 02:21:50,178 know, I can't, you know, as a 3301 02:21:50,178 --> 02:21:51,213 as a fellow district council 3302 02:21:51,213 --> 02:21:52,581 member across the county, I 3303 02:21:52,581 --> 02:21:53,348 can't know exactly what the 3304 02:21:53,348 --> 02:21:55,748 conversations are that are 3305 02:21:55,850 --> 02:21:58,250 happening. But there was 3306 02:21:58,353 --> 02:22:01,353 mention of the sponsor, you 3307 02:22:02,357 --> 02:22:03,425 know, trying to convince the 3308 02:22:03,425 --> 02:22:04,893 property owner to take a 3309 02:22:04,893 --> 02:22:07,293 certain direction. There was 3310 02:22:07,395 --> 02:22:09,198 also more easily addressable 3311 02:22:09,198 --> 02:22:11,198 concerns, like property 3312 02:22:11,766 --> 02:22:13,168 standards that were brought up. 3313 02:22:13,168 --> 02:22:16,438 And I just I don't want to 3314 02:22:16,438 --> 02:22:19,975 leave this lingering if it is 3315 02:22:19,975 --> 02:22:22,544 in a direction of. Trying to 3316 02:22:22,544 --> 02:22:24,120 leverage a property owner to do 3317 02:22:24,120 --> 02:22:26,140 something or other with their 3318 02:22:26,140 --> 02:22:27,248 property. So I, I don't know 3319 02:22:27,248 --> 02:22:30,848 that I can support a deferral 3320 02:22:31,186 --> 02:22:32,221 today. I don't know, I haven't 3321 02:22:32,221 --> 02:22:32,921 felt comfortable with this. 3322 02:22:32,921 --> 02:22:35,321 Everything that I've heard 3323 02:22:35,590 --> 02:22:36,725 about it in committee and from 3324 02:22:36,725 --> 02:22:38,260 the property owner who showed 3325 02:22:38,260 --> 02:22:39,794 up again at multiple meetings 3326 02:22:39,794 --> 02:22:41,630 to, to oppose this down zoning. 3327 02:22:41,630 --> 02:22:42,798 So I don't think I can support 3328 02:22:42,798 --> 02:22:43,899 the deferral today. I think I'd 3329 02:22:43,899 --> 02:22:45,233 rather let's vote on this 3330 02:22:45,233 --> 02:22:46,601 cleanly today. 3331 02:22:46,601 --> 02:22:48,601 All right. Is 3332 02:22:49,137 --> 02:22:50,974 there any further discussion 3333 02:22:50,974 --> 02:22:53,108 specifically on the motion to 3334 02:22:53,108 --> 02:22:55,277 defer to the first meeting in 3335 02:22:55,277 --> 02:22:56,678 NOVEMBER? MISS Campbell on the 3336 02:22:56,678 --> 02:22:58,513 deferral. Go ahead, ma'am. 3337 02:22:58,513 --> 02:23:00,315 Thank you, vice mayor. I am 3338 02:23:00,315 --> 02:23:03,315 rising in support of the 3339 02:23:03,518 --> 02:23:06,518 deferral. I commend the sponsor 3340 02:23:06,788 --> 02:23:10,250 for asking for the deferral. I 3341 02:23:10,250 --> 02:23:12,427 was against the rezoning from 3342 02:23:12,427 --> 02:23:14,630 the s p. I've looked at the s p. 3343 02:23:14,630 --> 02:23:14,136 The plan is magnificent. It is 3344 02:23:14,136 --> 02:23:16,136 - 3345 02:23:17,432 --> 02:23:19,534 a mixed use plan with townhomes 3346 02:23:19,534 --> 02:23:21,903 with commercial retail. I know 3347 02:23:21,903 --> 02:23:24,772 that the council member took a 3348 02:23:24,772 --> 02:23:25,940 lot of time with her community 3349 02:23:25,940 --> 02:23:28,376 and with the developer, and 3350 02:23:28,376 --> 02:23:30,578 getting that plan approved. I 3351 02:23:30,578 --> 02:23:33,115 was not in support of the 3352 02:23:33,115 --> 02:23:36,384 rezoning to the a r2a, which 3353 02:23:36,384 --> 02:23:39,554 could allow land uses that are 3354 02:23:39,554 --> 02:23:41,723 not as magnificent, like a land 3355 02:23:41,723 --> 02:23:43,158 field or a campground or a 3356 02:23:43,158 --> 02:23:44,626 mobile home park. And not that 3357 02:23:44,626 --> 02:23:47,495 I'm against any of those things, 3358 02:23:47,495 --> 02:23:49,297 but I think the intention from 3359 02:23:49,297 --> 02:23:51,800 the council member in the 3360 02:23:51,800 --> 02:23:53,101 community is to have a nice 3361 02:23:53,101 --> 02:23:54,702 development that really serves 3362 02:23:54,702 --> 02:23:57,572 the needs of the community. So 3363 02:23:57,572 --> 02:23:59,741 I'm very hopeful and grateful 3364 02:23:59,741 --> 02:24:01,142 that the council member has 3365 02:24:01,142 --> 02:24:04,120 worked out to where she's 3366 02:24:04,120 --> 02:24:05,780 wanting to defer this to 3367 02:24:05,780 --> 02:24:07,648 NOVEMBER, at least, to allow 3368 02:24:07,648 --> 02:24:10,885 more time. It takes time to 3369 02:24:10,885 --> 02:24:13,885 make these especially mixed use 3370 02:24:14,155 --> 02:24:15,523 developments that are as, as as 3371 02:24:15,523 --> 02:24:18,426 comprehensive as the one that I 3372 02:24:18,426 --> 02:24:19,193 saw in this plan. And so I'm 3373 02:24:19,193 --> 02:24:20,996 supporting the deferral.I'm 3374 02:24:20,996 --> 02:24:22,797 not sure I know that in 3375 02:24:22,797 --> 02:24:24,198 committee we talked about an 3376 02:24:24,198 --> 02:24:25,967 indefinite deferral. I'm not 3377 02:24:25,967 --> 02:24:27,569 sure what the difference is. Or 3378 02:24:27,569 --> 02:24:29,270 maybe they indefinite would 3379 02:24:29,270 --> 02:24:30,705 have beenmore time. But 3380 02:24:30,705 --> 02:24:32,173 deferral in general is a 3381 02:24:32,173 --> 02:24:33,341 deferral. And I think 3382 02:24:33,341 --> 02:24:35,343 supporting this deferral that 3383 02:24:35,343 --> 02:24:37,178 has been initiated by the 3384 02:24:37,178 --> 02:24:40,140 council member who is doing the 3385 02:24:40,140 --> 02:24:41,316 work in her district, should be 3386 02:24:41,316 --> 02:24:42,450 supported. And for that reason, 3387 02:24:42,450 --> 02:24:42,884 I'll be supporting it. Thank 3388 02:24:42,884 --> 02:24:44,152 you. 3389 02:24:44,152 --> 02:24:46,187 All right, MR.

I've got areas in my 3393 02:24:52,293 --> 02:24:54,462 district where the community 3394 02:24:54,462 --> 02:24:56,263 wants something to happen, and 3395 02:24:56,263 --> 02:24:58,366 the council members are on the 3396 02:24:58,366 --> 02:25:00,968 hook, whether it's what the 3397 02:25:00,968 --> 02:25:02,300 community wants versus what the 3398 02:25:02,300 --> 02:25:03,137 property owner wants. And 3399 02:25:03,137 --> 02:25:04,872 sometimes it takes a little 3400 02:25:04,872 --> 02:25:06,674 time to figure thoseout. I 3401 02:25:06,674 --> 02:25:08,476 also have some areas in my 3402 02:25:08,476 --> 02:25:10,278 district that aren't keeping 3403 02:25:10,278 --> 02:25:12,113 themselves up in the codes 3404 02:25:12,113 --> 02:25:14,582 standards area as well.
