across the, the county. Um, we

152
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:49,757
did our gratitude as well on

153
00:06:49,757 --> 00:06:51,993
the council floor with the

154
00:06:51,993 --> 00:06:52,126
passing of this resolution. So

155
00:06:52,126 --> 00:06:52,327
I

156
00:06:52,327 --> 00:06:53,600
m, I

157
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:54,196
m really grateful to my

158
00:06:54,196 --> 00:06:55,763
colleagues who are standing up

159
00:06:55,763 --> 00:06:57,320
here, um, but I would did want

160
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,660
to take just a moment before we

161
00:06:58,660 --> 00:06:59,902
read through the words that we

162
00:06:59,902 --> 00:07:00,535
ve approved, uh, and just

163
00:07:00,535 --> 00:07:02,370
you know, state that the

164
00:07:02,370 --> 00:07:03,571
Nashville Public Library does

165
00:07:03,571 --> 00:07:05,174
something that this council

166
00:07:05,174 --> 00:07:07,410
talks about constantly. It

167
00:07:07,410 --> 00:07:08,577
creates community. Every day

168
00:07:08,577 --> 00:07:08,777
across Davidson County, and

169
00:07:08,777 --> 00:07:10,777
that

170
00:07:11,513 --> 00:07:13,481
s free for all and that

171
00:07:13,481 --> 00:07:14,449
that interim. The programs are

172
00:07:14,449 --> 00:07:16,170
extraordinary. Reading

173
00:07:16,170 --> 00:07:17,785
readiness for our youngest

174
00:07:17,785 --> 00:07:20,185
children, digital access for

175
00:07:21,823 --> 00:07:23,292
neighbors left behind. Health

176
00:07:23,292 --> 00:07:25,292
literacy, literacy, spaces

177
00:07:25,626 --> 00:07:26,828
where every person can walk in

178
00:07:26,828 --> 00:07:27,462
and belong. But here

179
00:07:27,462 --> 00:07:29,462
s what I

180
00:07:29,965 --> 00:07:30,699
want us to name clearly. Public

181
00:07:30,699 --> 00:07:31,933
libraries

182
00:07:31,933 --> 00:07:33,635
are not just a community

183
00:07:33,635 --> 00:07:35,804
service, they are a cornerstone

184
00:07:35,804 --> 00:07:37,105
of democracy, free access to

185
00:07:37,105 --> 00:07:38,607
information, to the freedom to

186
00:07:38,607 --> 00:07:40,308
read and think for yourself,

187
00:07:40,308 --> 00:07:42,277
and that is not a small thing

188
00:07:42,277 --> 00:07:43,644
right now. That is everything

189
00:07:43,644 --> 00:07:44,378
and none of this happens

190
00:07:44,378 --> 00:07:44,579
without the people we

191
00:07:44,579 --> 00:07:46,810
re

192
00:07:46,810 --> 00:07:47,415
honoring today. The staff of

193
00:07:47,415 --> 00:07:49,815
the Nashville Public Library

194
00:07:49,817 --> 00:07:51,186
show up as guides, educators,

195
00:07:51,186 --> 00:07:52,954
and connectors. And I have to

this opportunity to visit, uh,

412
00:14:59,246 --> 00:15:00,847
your local, uh, public library.

413
00:15:00,847 --> 00:15:02,216
Uh, we know that, uh, public

414
00:15:02,216 --> 00:15:04,485
libraries are one of the places

415
00:15:04,485 --> 00:15:06,654
that are currently being

416
00:15:06,654 --> 00:15:07,621
attacked by not only the

417
00:15:07,621 --> 00:15:09,423
federal government

418
00:15:09,423 --> 00:15:12,559
but by our own state of

419
00:15:12,559 --> 00:15:15,559
Tennessee. So, uh, take a

420
00:15:15,796 --> 00:15:18,796
moment, think, uh, your local

421
00:15:20,167 --> 00:15:21,935
library, uh, worker, uh, go

422
00:15:21,935 --> 00:15:24,705
visit a public library. There

423
00:15:24,705 --> 00:15:26,640
is a hunger to learn and to

424
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,776
read, and I have witnessed it

425
00:15:28,776 --> 00:15:30,377
myself at a bus stop when there

426
00:15:30,377 --> 00:15:32,446
was a constituent of mine that

427
00:15:32,446 --> 00:15:35,950
asked if I had more books in

428
00:15:35,950 --> 00:15:37,118
Spanish, so, um, people, people

429
00:15:37,118 --> 00:15:38,719
want um

430
00:15:38,719 --> 00:15:40,955
more books and people are

431
00:15:40,955 --> 00:15:42,957
looking for outlets. So, uh, go

432
00:15:42,957 --> 00:15:45,957
ahead and take advantage of

433
00:15:46,594 --> 00:15:49,163
that, um, books are free.

434
00:15:49,163 --> 00:15:52,163
All right, council members, are

Thank you, Vice Mayor. Thank

you, counsel.

645
00:34:07,158 --> 00:34:08,493
One of the things we do before

00:34:09,727 --> 00:34:10,729

00:34:13,665 --> 00:34:15,665
Let

652
00:34:19,671 --> 00:34:21,106
s do that

653
00:34:21,106 --> 00:34:23,742
We do this to ground ourselves

654
00:34:23,742 --> 00:34:26,277
in our, in our time together.

655
00:34:26,277 --> 00:34:28,277
Let us pray

656
00:34:29,247 --> 00:34:30,815
GOD of wisdom, compassion, and

657
00:34:30,815 --> 00:34:32,784
justice, we gather today in

658
00:34:32,784 --> 00:34:34,385
this brightly appointed room.

659
00:34:34,385 --> 00:34:35,219
One of decorum, process, and

660
00:34:35,219 --> 00:34:37,219
order.

661
00:34:37,255 --> 00:34:37,388
Under a roof of stability, and

662
00:34:37,388 --> 00:34:39,388
I

663
00:34:41,660 --> 00:34:43,127
m called by you, Creator, to

664
00:34:43,127 --> 00:34:44,996
speak for those whose ceiling

665
00:34:44,996 --> 00:34:46,231
is frequently the sky that you

666
00:34:46,231 --> 00:34:46,664
created, GOD.

667
00:34:46,664 --> 00:34:47,231
As Nashville

668
00:34:47,231 --> 00:34:48,767
s elected

669
00:34:48,767 --> 00:34:50,568
officials deliberate on budget

670
00:34:50,568 --> 00:34:51,736
numbers, fiscal notes, zoning,

671
00:34:51,736 --> 00:34:53,338
the future of the East Bank,

672
00:34:53,338 --> 00:34:54,706
and the machinery of the city

673
00:34:54,706 --> 00:34:57,208
this evening, grant us the

674
00:34:57,208 --> 00:34:58,643
clarity to see the faces behind

675
00:34:58,643 --> 00:34:58,776
the statistics.

676
00:34:58,776 --> 00:34:59,844
I

677
00:34:59,844 --> 00:35:01,513
ll lift up tonight the youth

678
00:35:01,513 --> 00:35:03,448
and young adults of Launchpad

679
00:35:03,448 --> 00:35:05,383
and of our streets.

680
00:35:05,383 --> 00:35:07,251
Those sojourners who were not

681
00:35:07,251 --> 00:35:08,586
lost but left behind.

682
00:35:08,586 --> 00:35:09,921
Overlooked

683
00:35:09,921 --> 00:35:11,540
forgotten

684
00:35:11,540 --> 00:35:12,523
Help us remember that youth

685
00:35:12,523 --> 00:35:15,159
homelessness is not a political

686
00:35:15,159 --> 00:35:16,461
talking point

687
00:35:16,461 --> 00:35:17,962
but moreover, it is a child

688
00:35:17,962 --> 00:35:19,397
without a bedtime story.

689
00:35:19,397 --> 00:35:21,165
A teenager studying by the

690
00:35:21,165 --> 00:35:23,000
light of a bus stop, perhaps

691
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,569
without a bench to sit on.

692
00:35:24,569 --> 00:35:26,971
And even a young soul left

693
00:35:26,971 --> 00:35:28,773
wandering our city. No, no,

694
00:35:28,773 --> 00:35:30,608
their city, wondering where

695
00:35:30,608 --> 00:35:34,110
help can be found and who can

696
00:35:34,110 --> 00:35:35,547
be trusted to assist.

697
00:35:35,547 --> 00:35:37,214
So tonight and each night going

698
00:35:37,214 --> 00:35:38,483
forward, please show not just

699
00:35:38,483 --> 00:35:40,918
the selected body, but the

700
00:35:40,918 --> 00:35:42,820
entirety of our city it

701
00:35:42,820 --> 00:35:44,322
represents how to see every

702
00:35:44,322 --> 00:35:45,223
human in our midst as their

703
00:35:45,223 --> 00:35:46,591
neighbor.

704
00:35:46,591 --> 00:35:49,527
Not only the neighbors that we

705
00:35:49,527 --> 00:35:50,862
enjoy

706
00:35:50,862 --> 00:35:52,364
not those we see daily or from

707
00:35:52,364 --> 00:35:54,365
whom we borrow a cup of sugar

708
00:35:54,365 --> 00:35:55,733
or flour, not only those we

709
00:35:55,733 --> 00:35:56,901
agree with, but all people

710
00:35:56,901 --> 00:35:57,268
because we know that y

711
00:35:57,268 --> 00:35:59,268
all

712
00:35:59,705 --> 00:36:01,172
truly means all.

713
00:36:01,172 --> 00:36:03,410
Creator grant this council the

714
00:36:03,410 --> 00:36:04,475
courage of conviction to look

715
00:36:04,475 --> 00:36:06,440
beyond the all too easy

716
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:07,946
convenience of the status quo.

717
00:36:07,946 --> 00:36:08,780
And to see the urgency of a

718
00:36:08,780 --> 00:36:09,647
lonely night, whether it

719
00:36:09,647 --> 00:36:11,450
s warm

720
00:36:11,450 --> 00:36:13,450
or freezing

721
00:36:13,552 --> 00:36:15,386
Grant this body the integration

722
00:36:15,386 --> 00:36:17,255
of justice and mercy.

723
00:36:17,255 --> 00:36:19,224
To recognize that while justice

724
00:36:19,224 --> 00:36:21,624
demands we dismantle the

725
00:36:22,961 --> 00:36:25,361
systemic barriers that create

726
00:36:25,397 --> 00:36:26,798
and perpetuate poverty, poverty,

727
00:36:26,798 --> 00:36:28,367
mercy requires us to provide

728
00:36:28,367 --> 00:36:29,935
the soft bed and the safe

729
00:36:29,935 --> 00:36:31,904
harbor right now.

730
00:36:31,904 --> 00:36:33,238
MAY we never provide the policy

731
00:36:33,238 --> 00:36:35,741
without the heart, nor of a

732
00:36:35,741 --> 00:36:37,409
charity without the change.

733
00:36:37,409 --> 00:36:38,877
Grant this assembly the wisdom

734
00:36:38,877 --> 00:36:40,110
of stewardship

735
00:36:40,110 --> 00:36:40,979
to recognize that investing in

736
00:36:40,979 --> 00:36:43,348
our young people not only with

737
00:36:43,348 --> 00:36:45,951
a journey pass to ride the bus,

738
00:36:45,951 --> 00:36:48,487
but investing in a bed now.

739
00:36:48,487 --> 00:36:51,487
Is cheaper and infinitely more

740
00:36:52,900 --> 00:36:55,900
human than managing a health

741
00:36:57,129 --> 00:36:59,129
housing, hygiene.

742
00:36:59,264 --> 00:37:00,332
Or hunger crisis later.

743
00:37:00,332 --> 00:37:02,000
Grant these leaders, Lord, the

744
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,368
heart of a parent to view every

745
00:37:03,368 --> 00:37:04,904
young person sleeping in a

746
00:37:04,904 --> 00:37:06,438
doorway or a sliver of the

747
00:37:06,438 --> 00:37:07,973
woods, not as a nuisance or a

748
00:37:07,973 --> 00:37:10,276
problem to be solved, but as

749
00:37:10,276 --> 00:37:12,912
our own kindred flesh and blood,

750
00:37:12,912 --> 00:37:15,470
deserving of safety, dignity

751
00:37:15,470 --> 00:37:16,649
and a fair start to life.

752
00:37:16,649 --> 00:37:18,170
Made the decisions made tonight

753
00:37:18,170 --> 00:37:19,619
and into the future be more

754
00:37:19,619 --> 00:37:21,554
than ink on paper.

755
00:37:21,554 --> 00:37:22,822
MAY they be the blueprints for

756
00:37:22,822 --> 00:37:25,158
a city where housing is a right,

757
00:37:25,158 --> 00:37:26,492
not a luxury.

758
00:37:26,492 --> 00:37:30,920
And no young person has to

759
00:37:31,597 --> 00:37:34,670
trade their future in an

760
00:37:34,670 --> 00:37:35,168
attempt to survive only the

761
00:37:35,168 --> 00:37:36,535
night.

762
00:37:36,535 --> 00:37:38,700
Let us work this evening, not

763
00:37:38,700 --> 00:37:39,772
just for the city we have, but

764
00:37:39,772 --> 00:37:41,574
for the city that future

765
00:37:41,574 --> 00:37:43,574
generations deserve.

766
00:37:44,477 --> 00:37:46,946
MAY it be so. Amen.

767
00:37:46,946 --> 00:37:49,883
I pledge allegiance to the flag

768
00:37:49,883 --> 00:37:52,185
of the United States of America

769
00:37:52,185 --> 00:37:55,121
and Republic for which it

770
00:37:55,121 --> 00:37:57,560
stands one nation under GOD,

771
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,456
indivisible with liberty and

00:38:32,192 --> 00:38:34,561
even better option for more

790
00:38:34,561 --> 00:38:36,430
Nashvillians. I invite all

791
00:38:36,430 --> 00:38:39,232

before you today, not just as a

1288
00:54:38,102 --> 00:54:40,672
nonprofit leader, but as an

1289
00:54:40,672 --> 00:54:42,707
educator who spent 23 years in

1290
00:54:42,707 --> 00:54:44,676
the classroom here in Tennessee.

1291
00:54:44,676 --> 00:54:44,943
The idea for the Music City

1292
00:54:44,943 --> 00:54:45,910
Children

1293
00:54:45,910 --> 00:54:46,344
s Museum didn

1294
00:54:46,344 --> 00:54:48,344
t come

1295
00:54:48,380 --> 00:54:49,481
from a boardroom. It came from

1296
00:54:49,481 --> 00:54:50,382
me visiting children

1297
00:54:50,382 --> 00:54:52,183
s museums

1298
00:54:52,183 --> 00:54:52,784
with my grandchildren. And in

1299
00:54:52,784 --> 00:54:53,719
every children

1300
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:55,719
s museum, I

1301
00:54:57,220 --> 00:54:59,658
would say, why not Nashville?

1302
00:54:59,658 --> 00:55:01,859
So in 2014, I retired and I

1303
00:55:01,859 --> 00:55:03,495
decided to ask quit asking that

1304
00:55:03,495 --> 00:55:04,896
question and answer it by

1305
00:55:04,896 --> 00:55:05,290
trying to build a children

1306
00:55:05,290 --> 00:55:07,290
s

1307
00:55:07,232 --> 00:55:09,632
museum in Nashville, a

1308
00:55:10,635 --> 00:55:11,970
world-class one. For more than

1309
00:55:11,970 --> 00:55:12,604
a decade, we

1310
00:55:12,604 --> 00:55:13,371
ve moved forward

1311
00:55:13,371 --> 00:55:15,600
step by step

1312
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:16,875
The challenge we faced in the

1313
00:55:16,875 --> 00:55:19,440
last few years has been finding

1314
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:20,912
the right home and the right

1315
00:55:20,912 --> 00:55:22,414
partner. Today, after years of

1316
00:55:22,414 --> 00:55:22,747
evaluating a location, we

1317
00:55:22,747 --> 00:55:24,583
re

1318
00:55:24,583 --> 00:55:26,518
closer than ever with the East

1319
00:55:26,518 --> 00:55:28,253
Bend because East Bend is more

1320
00:55:28,253 --> 00:55:30,253
than a location.

1321
00:55:31,689 --> 00:55:33,591
It is a vision for a

1322
00:55:33,591 --> 00:55:35,591
family-focused district where

1323
00:55:35,727 --> 00:55:36,861
children can learn and families

1324
00:55:36,861 --> 00:55:38,861
can connect.

1325
00:55:39,297 --> 00:55:41,666
The legislation before you as

1326
00:55:41,666 --> 00:55:44,660
written by planning creates

1327
00:55:44,836 --> 00:55:47,372
conditions that make a project

1328
00:55:47,372 --> 00:55:48,973
like ours possible. It allows

1329
00:55:48,973 --> 00:55:50,942
for the kind of thoughtful

1330
00:55:50,942 --> 00:55:52,277
community-centered development

1331
00:55:52,277 --> 00:55:52,644
that can bring a children

1332
00:55:52,644 --> 00:55:54,245
s

1333
00:55:54,245 --> 00:55:55,981
museum to life.

1334
00:55:55,981 --> 00:55:57,583
We can move from vision to

1335
00:55:57,583 --> 00:55:58,383
reality. Tonight, it

1336
00:55:58,383 --> 00:56:00,353
s more

1337
00:56:00,353 --> 00:56:02,420
than just zoning. We can be a

1338
00:56:02,420 --> 00:56:04,890
city that invests in families.

1339
00:56:04,890 --> 00:56:06,825
We can be a city that creates

1340
00:56:06,825 --> 00:56:08,894
spaces for children and a city

1341
00:56:08,894 --> 00:56:09,862
that thinks about the next

1342
00:56:09,862 --> 00:56:11,196
generation. I

1343
00:56:11,196 --> 00:56:12,865
ve spent years of

1344
00:56:12,865 --> 00:56:15,865
my life working toward this

1345
00:56:18,337 --> 00:56:20,538
moment, and I truly believe

1346
00:56:20,538 --> 00:56:22,408
East Bend gives Nashville the

1347
00:56:22,408 --> 00:56:24,243
opportunity to finally make

1348
00:56:24,243 --> 00:56:25,711
this dream a reality. I

1349
00:56:25,711 --> 00:56:27,313
respectfully ask for your

1350
00:56:27,313 --> 00:56:29,215
support. Thank you

1351
00:56:29,215 --> 00:56:31,383
Thank you. Next will be, uh,

1352
00:56:31,383 --> 00:56:33,180
James Hubler also speaking on

1353
00:56:33,180 --> 00:56:35,154
East Bend zoning, followed by

1354
00:56:35,154 --> 00:56:36,555
Jennifer Turner and then David

1355
00:56:36,555 --> 00:56:36,689
Byerly. Uh, MR. Hubler, you

1356
00:56:36,689 --> 00:56:37,957
re

1357
00:56:37,957 --> 00:56:38,591
recognized. Thank you. Good

1358
00:56:38,591 --> 00:56:40,591
evening. I

1359
00:56:40,893 --> 00:56:42,828
m Jim Hubler and I

1360
00:56:42,828 --> 00:56:45,228
live at 607 Fatherland Street,

1361
00:56:45,798 --> 00:56:47,666
uh, in the first zone, historic

1362
00:56:47,666 --> 00:56:47,800
district in Davidson County.

1363
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:49,800
I

1364
00:56:51,937 --> 00:56:53,706
ve lived in the area since

1365
00:56:53,706 --> 00:56:54,373
1986 and have seen amazing

1366
00:56:54,373 --> 00:56:55,507
improvements in the

1367
00:56:55,507 --> 00:56:56,275
neighborhood in that time

1368
00:56:56,275 --> 00:56:57,776
period.

1369
00:56:57,776 --> 00:56:59,311
Tonight, your votes on the East

1370
00:56:59,311 --> 00:57:01,246
Bank development will be a

1371
00:57:01,246 --> 00:57:03,490
defining moment in the history

1372
00:57:03,490 --> 00:57:04,984
of our city. We all want to get

1373
00:57:04,984 --> 00:57:06,652
it right. Density works in an

1374
00:57:06,652 --> 00:57:08,654
urban environment, but only

1375
00:57:08,654 --> 00:57:10,489
when done properly. The

1376
00:57:10,489 --> 00:57:12,570
amendments to plan seemed

1377
00:57:12,570 --> 00:57:14,457
well-meaning and well thought

1378
00:57:14,460 --> 00:57:15,728
out, but please make this a

1379
00:57:15,728 --> 00:57:17,290
neighborhood, not a new

1380
00:57:17,290 --> 00:57:19,290
downtown.

1381
00:57:19,131 --> 00:57:20,767
Be careful with what you impose

1382
00:57:20,767 --> 00:57:22,767
on the future.

1383
00:57:26,438 --> 00:57:28,208
Do we really need 1240-story

1384
00:57:28,208 --> 00:57:30,208
buildings, 150-story building

1385
00:57:30,543 --> 00:57:32,943
and multiple 20-story buildings.

1386
00:57:33,246 --> 00:57:34,447
Years ago in 1958, we were

1387
00:57:34,447 --> 00:57:36,383
given an opportunity to

1388
00:57:36,383 --> 00:57:37,617
reimagine the East Bank.

1389
00:57:37,617 --> 00:57:39,180
At that time, Interstate

1390
00:57:39,180 --> 00:57:40,653
highways were new and everybody

1391
00:57:40,653 --> 00:57:43,989
wanted one, so we got an, an,

1392
00:57:43,989 --> 00:57:46,989
an East Bank Interstate highway.

1393
00:57:48,361 --> 00:57:50,230
We also removed a slum area and

1394
00:57:50,230 --> 00:57:52,630
built the Ellington Parkway.

1395
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:54,667
But we also wiped out a large

1396
00:57:54,667 --> 00:57:56,667
Victorian residential

1397
00:57:56,736 --> 00:57:59,736
neighborhood and some of the

1398
00:58:00,573 --> 00:58:01,641
businesses in that area. So

1399
00:58:01,641 --> 00:58:01,841
please remember what you

1400
00:58:01,841 --> 00:58:03,176
re

1401
00:58:03,176 --> 00:58:05,110
doing is going to have an

1402
00:58:05,110 --> 00:58:05,311
impact on the future and let

1403
00:58:05,311 --> 00:58:06,779
s

1404
00:58:06,779 --> 00:58:08,148
do it right. Thank you for your

1405
00:58:08,148 --> 00:58:10,148
service. Thank you.

1406
00:58:11,117 --> 00:58:13,519
All right, uh, next is Jennifer

1407
00:58:13,519 --> 00:58:14,421
Turner, also pretty much

1408
00:58:14,421 --> 00:58:17,421
everybody is going to be

1409
00:58:17,524 --> 00:58:20,590
speaking on agenda item 56, um,

1410
00:58:20,590 --> 00:58:21,940
a 1273 East Bend zoning, uh,

1411
00:58:21,940 --> 00:58:22,762
following Jennifer will be

1412
00:58:22,762 --> 00:58:24,300
David Vierley and then Brian

1413
00:58:24,300 --> 00:58:24,197
Hubbard. Go ahead, MS. Turner,

1414
00:58:24,197 --> 00:58:25,631
you

1415
00:58:25,631 --> 00:58:26,532
re reckon asked. Good

1416
00:58:26,532 --> 00:58:26,700
evening council members. It

1417
00:58:26,700 --> 00:58:28,501
s

1418
00:58:28,501 --> 00:58:30,690
so nice to see you all again.

1419
00:58:30,690 --> 00:58:30,470
My name is Jennifer Turner. I

1420
00:58:30,470 --> 00:58:32,470
m

1421
00:58:34,340 --> 00:58:35,375
the PRESIDENT And ceo of

1422
00:58:35,375 --> 00:58:37,375
Tennessee Performing Arts

1423
00:58:38,578 --> 00:58:39,879
Center. I reside on South 13th

1424
00:58:39,879 --> 00:58:41,879
Street, zip code

1425
00:58:42,682 --> 00:58:44,284
37206 in Davidson County. I

1426
00:58:44,284 --> 00:58:45,918
appreciate the opportunity to

1427
00:58:45,918 --> 00:58:47,521
speak in support of the East

1428
00:58:47,521 --> 00:58:49,522
Bend zoning and broader East

1429
00:58:49,522 --> 00:58:50,824
Bank vision. Like many of you,

1430
00:58:50,824 --> 00:58:52,626
we see this as a

1431
00:58:52,626 --> 00:58:54,127
transformational opportunity

1432
00:58:54,127 --> 00:58:56,463
for our community. We have the

1433
00:58:56,463 --> 00:58:58,766
ability to replace underused

1434
00:58:58,766 --> 00:59:00,200
industrial land with a vibrant,

1435
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,200
inclusive neighborhood that

1436
00:59:02,402 --> 00:59:03,736
belongs to all Nashvillians. We

1437
00:59:03,736 --> 00:59:05,372
strongly support the goals

1438
00:59:05,372 --> 00:59:06,640
embedded in the plan,

1439
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:08,640
walkability, great design,

1440
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:10,778
multi

1441
00:59:10,778 --> 00:59:12,846
mo d al access and a public

1442
00:59:12,846 --> 00:59:13,947
realm that prioritizes people

1443
00:59:13,947 --> 00:59:15,682
over pavement.

1444
00:59:15,682 --> 00:59:17,451
I support this personally as a

1445
00:59:17,451 --> 00:59:19,420
resident of East Nashville and

1446
00:59:19,420 --> 00:59:20,921
in my role representing tpac in

1447
00:59:20,921 --> 00:59:22,921
our own development.

1448
00:59:23,424 --> 00:59:25,824
I particularly appreciate the

1449
00:59:25,826 --> 00:59:28,226
short term flexibility on

1450
00:59:28,261 --> 00:59:30,197
parking regulations. We fully

1451
00:59:30,197 --> 00:59:31,899
support planning for a transit

1452
00:59:31,899 --> 00:59:34,134
forward future. But before that

1453
00:59:34,134 --> 00:59:36,370
is realized, we do not want to

1454
00:59:36,370 --> 00:59:38,405
limit access to the arts and

1455
00:59:38,405 --> 00:59:40,405
tpac.

1456
00:59:42,742 --> 00:59:43,677
Flexibility today allows us to

1457
00:59:43,677 --> 00:59:44,911
succeed while the district

1458
00:59:44,911 --> 00:59:46,911
matures.

1459
00:59:47,448 --> 00:59:48,816
The East Bend and ah East Bend

1460
00:59:48,816 --> 00:59:51,510
Development Team have been

1461
00:59:51,510 --> 00:59:52,152
partners and supporters of tpac

1462
00:59:52,152 --> 00:59:54,187
as we planned our own

1463
00:59:54,187 --> 00:59:56,256
relocation to the East Bank.

1464
00:59:56,256 --> 00:59:58,759
This type of collaboration is

1465
00:59:58,759 --> 01:00:00,327
crucial to the success of arts

1466
01:00:00,327 --> 01:00:01,962
organizations like ours. The

1467
01:00:01,962 --> 01:00:03,730
arts are not an accessory to

1468
01:00:03,730 --> 01:00:06,233
this development. They are in

1469
01:00:06,233 --> 01:00:08,368
anchor. Tpac brings students,

1470
01:00:08,368 --> 01:00:09,536
families, seniors, tourists,

1471
01:00:09,536 --> 01:00:11,205
and working artists into the

1472
01:00:11,205 --> 01:00:13,206
heart of our city.

1473
01:00:13,206 --> 01:00:16,206
That only works if audiences

1474
01:00:17,478 --> 01:00:19,179
can get there safely and

1475
01:00:19,179 --> 01:00:20,481
reliably, especially during the

1476
01:00:20,481 --> 01:00:22,182
transition period.

1477
01:00:22,182 --> 01:00:24,551
I encourage the council to

1478
01:00:24,551 --> 01:00:26,153
approve the ESBend zoning while

1479
01:00:26,153 --> 01:00:26,721
preserving flexibility. Thank

1480
01:00:26,721 --> 01:00:28,622
you.

1481
01:00:28,622 --> 01:00:30,624
Thank you. Uh, next will be

1482
01:00:30,624 --> 01:00:33,240
David Berley, uh, speaking

1483
01:00:33,527 --> 01:00:36,263
again on East Bend zoning, uh,

1484
01:00:36,263 --> 01:00:38,298
in support, followed by Brian

1485
01:00:38,298 --> 01:00:39,300
Hubbard and Samuel Lingo. Uh,

1486
01:00:39,300 --> 01:00:39,433
go ahead, MR. Beerley, you

1487
01:00:39,433 --> 01:00:40,301
re

1488
01:00:40,301 --> 01:00:42,170
recognized. Thank you so much,

1489
01:00:42,170 --> 01:00:43,604
each and every one of you. And

1490
01:00:43,604 --> 01:00:44,906
thank you for still being a

1491
01:00:44,906 --> 01:00:46,400
council that allows a session

1492
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:46,441
to start with prayer. I

1493
01:00:46,441 --> 01:00:47,475
personally wouldn

1494
01:00:47,475 --> 01:00:49,475
t be here

1495
01:00:51,946 --> 01:00:53,381
without it. Uh, so many

1496
01:00:53,381 --> 01:00:54,615
investors primarily from

1497
01:00:54,615 --> 01:00:56,617
Nashville and Middle Tennessee

1498
01:00:56,617 --> 01:00:57,718
have come together to create

1499
01:00:57,718 --> 01:00:58,520
something truly special, a

1500
01:00:58,520 --> 01:00:59,200
place

1501
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:00,888
you know, built and designed

1502
01:01:00,888 --> 01:01:02,523
from scratch for families, uh,

1503
01:01:02,523 --> 01:01:03,324
a place for people to live and

1504
01:01:03,324 --> 01:01:04,358
visit.

1505
01:01:04,358 --> 01:01:06,427
Where children will learn and

1506
01:01:06,427 --> 01:01:08,827
be entertained while families

1507
01:01:09,130 --> 01:01:10,865
uh, will have a place that is

1508
01:01:10,865 --> 01:01:12,266
generally designed for them.

1509
01:01:12,266 --> 01:01:13,267
And this is our singular

1510
01:01:13,267 --> 01:01:13,567
message. We have one story.

1511
01:01:13,567 --> 01:01:15,436
It

1512
01:01:15,436 --> 01:01:18,500
s easy to remember, and I

1513
01:01:18,500 --> 01:01:19,440
would just encourage us to

1514
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:20,241
really begin to work together

1515
01:01:20,241 --> 01:01:20,641
as so many have I

1516
01:01:20,641 --> 01:01:22,243
ve seen in

1517
01:01:22,243 --> 01:01:25,243
the last two weeks, most

1518
01:01:25,679 --> 01:01:27,381
everyone on this floor

1519
01:01:27,381 --> 01:01:29,650
genuinely just lock arms and

1520
01:01:29,650 --> 01:01:30,151
try, uh, to get, to get started,

1521
01:01:30,151 --> 01:01:30,585
right? Let

1522
01:01:30,585 --> 01:01:31,152
s, it

1523
01:01:31,152 --> 01:01:32,653
s time to work

1524
01:01:32,653 --> 01:01:34,523
now. We, we have a license to

1525
01:01:34,523 --> 01:01:35,589
work. I, I genuinely hope after

1526
01:01:35,589 --> 01:01:37,392
tonight, you know, I imagine

1527
01:01:37,392 --> 01:01:39,427
East Bank, we have read it

1528
01:01:39,427 --> 01:01:40,595
from cover to cover many times,

1529
01:01:40,595 --> 01:01:41,696
and I would just say to you,

1530
01:01:41,696 --> 01:01:42,564
thanks to your hard work, I

1531
01:01:42,564 --> 01:01:43,640
really hope we don

1532
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:44,199
t have to

1533
01:01:44,199 --> 01:01:44,899
imagine any more after this

1534
01:01:44,899 --> 01:01:46,768
evening.

1535
01:01:46,768 --> 01:01:48,768
Thank you

1536
01:01:50,305 --> 01:01:52,274
All right, uh, next is, uh,

1537
01:01:52,274 --> 01:01:53,675
Brian Hubbard, uh, MR. Hubbard

1538
01:01:53,675 --> 01:01:55,277
will be followed by Samuel

1539
01:01:55,277 --> 01:01:56,578
Lingo and Matthew Payne. Those

1540
01:01:56,578 --> 01:02:00,114
folks can go ahead and come

1541
01:02:00,114 --> 01:02:01,116
forward. Uh, MR. Hubbard is

1542
01:02:01,116 --> 01:02:02,550
also speaking on East Bend

1543
01:02:02,550 --> 01:02:03,285
zoning in support. Go ahead,

1544
01:02:03,285 --> 01:02:03,952
sir. Good evening, council

1545
01:02:03,952 --> 01:02:04,219
members. My name

1546
01:02:04,219 --> 01:02:04,686
s Brian

1547
01:02:04,686 --> 01:02:05,854
Hubbard. I

1548
01:02:05,854 --> 01:02:07,689
m an architect and

1549
01:02:07,689 --> 01:02:09,524
design principal at Kinsler,

1550
01:02:09,524 --> 01:02:10,258
located at 161 Rosa Parks

1551
01:02:10,258 --> 01:02:10,559
Boulevard. I

1552
01:02:10,559 --> 01:02:11,893
ve had the

1553
01:02:11,893 --> 01:02:13,562
privilege of working as part of

1554
01:02:13,562 --> 01:02:14,729
the East Bend team helping

1555
01:02:14,729 --> 01:02:15,531
shape the vision you see before

1556
01:02:15,531 --> 01:02:16,698
you today.

1557
01:02:16,698 --> 01:02:18,660
I want to speak specifically

1558
01:02:18,660 --> 01:02:19,670
about the process.

1559
01:02:19,670 --> 01:02:20,101
This plan didn

1560
01:02:20,101 --> 01:02:21,469
t happen in

1561
01:02:21,469 --> 01:02:23,371
isolation. As a result of

1562
01:02:23,371 --> 01:02:24,139
thousands of hours of

1563
01:02:24,139 --> 01:02:25,841
collaboration with Metro

1564
01:02:25,841 --> 01:02:27,442
planning, uh, department

1565
01:02:27,442 --> 01:02:29,277
alongside engineers, landscape

1566
01:02:29,277 --> 01:02:30,211
architects, visionaries,

1567
01:02:30,211 --> 01:02:31,179
transportation experts,

1568
01:02:31,179 --> 01:02:33,179
community stakeholders, and

1569
01:02:34,150 --> 01:02:35,250
other state and local officials.

1570
01:02:35,250 --> 01:02:36,251
From the beginning, the goal

1571
01:02:36,251 --> 01:02:36,485
was to align with the city

1572
01:02:36,485 --> 01:02:37,486
s

1573
01:02:37,486 --> 01:02:39,354
long-term vision.

1574
01:02:39,354 --> 01:02:40,755
And imagine East Bank plan to

1575
01:02:40,755 --> 01:02:42,900
create a district that works

1576
01:02:42,900 --> 01:02:43,391
not just on paper but in

1577
01:02:43,391 --> 01:02:44,359
practice.

1578
01:02:44,359 --> 01:02:45,827
We approached this through

1579
01:02:45,827 --> 01:02:46,795
thought or with thought,

1580
01:02:46,795 --> 01:02:48,797
through the framework of the

1581
01:02:48,797 --> 01:02:50,265
downtown code, which

1582
01:02:50,265 --> 01:02:51,332
prioritizes form, public space,

1583
01:02:51,332 --> 01:02:52,734
and the experience of street

1584
01:02:52,734 --> 01:02:54,402
level.

1585
01:02:54,402 --> 01:02:55,303
Every element you see from the

1586
01:02:55,303 --> 01:02:56,638
pedestrian connections to the

1587
01:02:56,638 --> 01:02:57,372
greenway to the open space

1588
01:02:57,372 --> 01:02:58,674
networks.

1589
01:02:58,674 --> 01:03:00,642
Has been shaped through the

1590
01:03:00,642 --> 01:03:02,440
ongoing dialogue with the

1591
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:03,545
planning department to ensure

1592
01:03:03,545 --> 01:03:07,145
it delivers a broad on the

1593
01:03:08,150 --> 01:03:09,317
broader goals of connectivity,

1594
01:03:09,317 --> 01:03:09,517
accessibility, and livability.

1595
01:03:09,517 --> 01:03:10,653
What

1596
01:03:10,653 --> 01:03:11,853
s important to understand

1597
01:03:11,853 --> 01:03:12,454
is that this is not a one-off

1598
01:03:12,454 --> 01:03:12,687
design.

1599
01:03:12,687 --> 01:03:13,355
Uh, it

1600
01:03:13,355 --> 01:03:14,623
s coordinated and

1601
01:03:14,623 --> 01:03:15,757
intentional framework that

1602
01:03:15,757 --> 01:03:17,192
ensures the district evolves in

1603
01:03:17,192 --> 01:03:18,660
a way that is cohesive, human

1604
01:03:18,660 --> 01:03:18,928
scaled, and responsive to

1605
01:03:18,928 --> 01:03:20,620
Nashville

1606
01:03:20,620 --> 01:03:21,290
s needs. Metro

1607
01:03:21,290 --> 01:03:22,640
planning with their

1608
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:24,640
knowledgeable and talented

1609
01:03:24,132 --> 01:03:26,334
staff have been deeply engaged

1610
01:03:26,334 --> 01:03:28,300
at every step, helping to find,

1611
01:03:28,300 --> 01:03:29,471
refine the vision, challenge

1612
01:03:29,471 --> 01:03:30,773
assumptions, and ensure

1613
01:03:30,773 --> 01:03:32,740
outcomes that reflect the

1614
01:03:32,740 --> 01:03:33,442
values outlined in the Imagine

1615
01:03:33,442 --> 01:03:34,944
East Bank plan.

1616
01:03:34,944 --> 01:03:36,546
The legislation before you is a

1617
01:03:36,546 --> 01:03:37,580
product of that work. It

1618
01:03:37,580 --> 01:03:39,980
provides a structure and

1619
01:03:42,318 --> 01:03:43,419
clarity needed to deliver a

1620
01:03:43,419 --> 01:03:45,121
well-designed and thoughtfully

1621
01:03:45,121 --> 01:03:46,789
executable urban neighborhood.

1622
01:03:46,789 --> 01:03:47,990
Legis uh on behalf of our team,

1623
01:03:47,990 --> 01:03:48,991
I want to thank the planning,

1624
01:03:48,991 --> 01:03:50,192
uh, for their partnership and

1625
01:03:50,192 --> 01:03:51,727
we look forward to more work

1626
01:03:51,727 --> 01:03:52,795
and coordinated coordination

1627
01:03:52,795 --> 01:03:53,329
with the city to come. Thank

1628
01:03:53,329 --> 01:03:55,329
you.

1629
01:03:55,965 --> 01:03:58,668
Thank you. Uh, next, uh, will

1630
01:03:58,668 --> 01:04:00,803
be Samuel Lingo, also speaking

1631
01:04:00,803 --> 01:04:03,505
on agenda item 56 East Bend

1632
01:04:03,505 --> 01:04:05,700
zoning and Sport, uh, following,

1633
01:04:05,700 --> 01:04:07,760
uh, Samuel Lingo will be

1634
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:08,677
Matthew Payne and then Macy

1635
01:04:08,677 --> 01:04:08,811
Fluherty. Go ahead, uh, you

1636
01:04:08,811 --> 01:04:09,578
re

1637
01:04:09,578 --> 01:04:10,613
recognized.

1638
01:04:10,613 --> 01:04:12,114
Good evening. Thank you for the

1639
01:04:12,114 --> 01:04:15,114
opportunity. My name is Sam

1640
01:04:16,585 --> 01:04:17,486
Lingo. I live at 1212 McGrace

1641
01:04:17,486 --> 01:04:17,753
Lane here in Nashville. I

1642
01:04:17,753 --> 01:04:19,221
m a

1643
01:04:19,221 --> 01:04:20,657
Nashville native and raising

1644
01:04:20,657 --> 01:04:22,491
two boys with my wife.

1645
01:04:22,491 --> 01:04:23,759
Uh, I grew up in watching the

1646
01:04:23,759 --> 01:04:25,260
scrap yard from the Cumberland

1647
01:04:25,260 --> 01:04:26,396
River, uh, watch it again from

1648
01:04:26,396 --> 01:04:27,763
the trolley barns when we moved

1649
01:04:27,763 --> 01:04:28,970
the entrepreneur center there

1650
01:04:28,970 --> 01:04:29,640
and now I

1651
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:30,332
m part of the team

1652
01:04:30,332 --> 01:04:31,400
working to transform it.

1653
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:33,235
The time has come to change

1654
01:04:33,235 --> 01:04:36,272
that river front, and tonight I

1655
01:04:36,272 --> 01:04:38,272
need your help.

1656
01:04:38,341 --> 01:04:39,908
In OCTOBER of 2022 when Imagine

1657
01:04:39,908 --> 01:04:41,677
East Bank plan was released, we

1658
01:04:41,677 --> 01:04:43,179
were already pursuing that site.

1659
01:04:43,179 --> 01:04:43,580
Even at this early stage, we

1660
01:04:43,580 --> 01:04:45,314
ve

1661
01:04:45,314 --> 01:04:47,616
made 3 choices that go that go

1662
01:04:47,616 --> 01:04:51,216
beyond what was required of us.

1663
01:04:51,221 --> 01:04:51,388
First, with metro planning.

1664
01:04:51,388 --> 01:04:52,889
We

1665
01:04:52,889 --> 01:04:54,357
ve pursued the downtown code,

1666
01:04:54,357 --> 01:04:55,792
a form-based code that sets the

1667
01:04:55,792 --> 01:04:57,259
framework without locking every

1668
01:04:57,259 --> 01:04:58,628
detail, so the community can

1669
01:04:58,628 --> 01:04:59,429
keep shaping the project as it

1670
01:04:59,429 --> 01:05:00,863
evolves.

1671
01:05:00,863 --> 01:05:01,131
Our project also catalyzed

1672
01:05:01,131 --> 01:05:02,980
planning

1673
01:05:02,980 --> 01:05:03,132
s new river gateway

1674
01:05:03,132 --> 01:05:04,701
site, language, and the

1675
01:05:04,701 --> 01:05:05,902
community plan written for one

1676
01:05:05,902 --> 01:05:06,736
riverfront site within our

1677
01:05:06,736 --> 01:05:08,736
assemblage.

1678
01:05:08,905 --> 01:05:10,673
Second, we wrote Greenways and

1679
01:05:10,673 --> 01:05:11,541
open space into the zoning

1680
01:05:11,541 --> 01:05:12,875
itself across the entire

1681
01:05:12,875 --> 01:05:14,844
district.

1682
01:05:14,844 --> 01:05:15,979
The gulch tried to get open

1683
01:05:15,979 --> 01:05:16,813
space through incentives, but

1684
01:05:16,813 --> 01:05:18,470
incentives only work if

1685
01:05:18,470 --> 01:05:18,414
developers take them.

1686
01:05:18,414 --> 01:05:20,830
And many didn

1687
01:05:20,830 --> 01:05:20,316
t

1688
01:05:20,316 --> 01:05:21,451
We didn

1689
01:05:21,451 --> 01:05:21,584
t want that. It

1690
01:05:21,584 --> 01:05:23,584
s

1691
01:05:24,587 --> 01:05:25,789
required, not optional.

1692
01:05:25,789 --> 01:05:27,390
Third.

1693
01:05:27,390 --> 01:05:29,590
Metro pioneered to process on

1694
01:05:29,590 --> 01:05:30,460
their 30 acres to design the

1695
01:05:30,460 --> 01:05:30,627
public realm with intention.

1696
01:05:30,627 --> 01:05:31,995
We

1697
01:05:31,995 --> 01:05:33,596
ve put that principle into

1698
01:05:33,596 --> 01:05:35,131
practice, sharing our draft

1699
01:05:35,131 --> 01:05:36,466
streets, rights of way, and

1700
01:05:36,466 --> 01:05:37,333
public spaces with the

1701
01:05:37,333 --> 01:05:38,735
community before we were

1702
01:05:38,735 --> 01:05:40,360
required to do so.

1703
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:41,170
So that people could respond

1704
01:05:41,170 --> 01:05:42,405
while we could adapt.

1705
01:05:42,405 --> 01:05:43,940
And we have

1706
01:05:43,940 --> 01:05:45,908
The work in front of you

1707
01:05:45,908 --> 01:05:47,210
tonight reflects nearly 3 years

1708
01:05:47,210 --> 01:05:47,477
of public process. It didn

1709
01:05:47,477 --> 01:05:48,679
t

1710
01:05:48,679 --> 01:05:50,113
arrive last week.

1711
01:05:50,113 --> 01:05:51,180
This council has received more

1712
01:05:51,180 --> 01:05:52,480
than 100 letters of support

1713
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:54,480
from community leaders,

1714
01:05:54,830 --> 01:05:55,252
business owners, and

1715
01:05:55,252 --> 01:05:55,885
Nashvilleans who live near this

1716
01:05:55,885 --> 01:05:56,520
site.

1717
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:58,520
We

1718
01:05:59,122 --> 01:05:59,823
ve already made the

1719
01:05:59,823 --> 01:06:01,124
commitment to public

1720
01:06:01,124 --> 01:06:02,590
infrastructure and amenities

1721
01:06:02,590 --> 01:06:03,192
through this plan.

1722
01:06:03,192 --> 01:06:04,194
We stand ready to make the

1723
01:06:04,194 --> 01:06:05,528
investment required.

1724
01:06:05,528 --> 01:06:06,796
And the work that begins the

1725
01:06:06,796 --> 01:06:07,998
day after your approval will

1726
01:06:07,998 --> 01:06:09,565
last for years.

1727
01:06:09,565 --> 01:06:10,968
47 acres that have been closed

1728
01:06:10,968 --> 01:06:12,235
to the public for nearly a

1729
01:06:12,235 --> 01:06:13,303
century open.

1730
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:15,305
Thank you for your support.

1731
01:06:15,305 --> 01:06:17,305
Thank you.

1732
01:06:19,710 --> 01:06:21,745
Next, uh, will be Matthew Payne,

1733
01:06:21,745 --> 01:06:23,614
uh, speaking on gen item 56,

1734
01:06:23,614 --> 01:06:25,215
East Bend zoning, followed by

1735
01:06:25,215 --> 01:06:26,984
Macy Fluherty and then Mannon

1736
01:06:26,984 --> 01:06:27,384
Hall. Uh, go ahead, uh, MR.

1737
01:06:27,384 --> 01:06:28,118
Payne, you

1738
01:06:28,118 --> 01:06:29,453
re recognized. Yeah,

1739
01:06:29,453 --> 01:06:31,853
good evening, council members.

1740
01:06:32,956 --> 01:06:34,124
My name is Matthew Payne. I

1741
01:06:34,124 --> 01:06:36,124
live, um,

1742
01:06:36,927 --> 01:06:37,610
at 4414 Leland Lane, um, but

1743
01:06:37,610 --> 01:06:39,610
I

1744
01:06:39,329 --> 01:06:40,497
m also the owner of, um,

1745
01:06:40,497 --> 01:06:41,298
Longevity Fitness in East

1746
01:06:41,298 --> 01:06:42,532
Asheville.

1747
01:06:42,532 --> 01:06:43,701
And I work every day with the

1748
01:06:43,701 --> 01:06:44,835
people who live.

1749
01:06:44,835 --> 01:06:46,103
Work and raise their families

1750
01:06:46,103 --> 01:06:47,738
in each Nashville neighborhoods.

1751
01:06:47,738 --> 01:06:49,139
I also operate a small business.

1752
01:06:49,139 --> 01:06:50,341
It depends on steady,

1753
01:06:50,341 --> 01:06:51,775
sustainable foot traffic to

1754
01:06:51,775 --> 01:06:52,876
survive. So when I look at a

1755
01:06:52,876 --> 01:06:53,276
project like East spin, I

1756
01:06:53,276 --> 01:06:55,112
m not

1757
01:06:55,112 --> 01:06:55,245
looking at it in theory. I

1758
01:06:55,245 --> 01:06:56,480
m

1759
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:57,815
looking at it through the lens

1760
01:06:57,815 --> 01:06:59,116
of what actually works for a

1761
01:06:59,116 --> 01:07:00,350
city and for a small business

1762
01:07:00,350 --> 01:07:01,318
like my own.

1763
01:07:01,318 --> 01:07:02,352
Small businesses in East

1764
01:07:02,352 --> 01:07:04,752
Nashville have felt the

1765
01:07:06,623 --> 01:07:06,790
pressure of growth for years.

1766
01:07:06,790 --> 01:07:07,991
We

1767
01:07:07,991 --> 01:07:08,892
ve seen increased density

1768
01:07:08,892 --> 01:07:09,693
pushed into established

1769
01:07:09,693 --> 01:07:11,628
neighborhoods that create

1770
01:07:11,628 --> 01:07:12,796
strain on residents, on traffic,

1771
01:07:12,796 --> 01:07:14,231
and on the very character that

1772
01:07:14,231 --> 01:07:16,166
makes East Nashville special.

1773
01:07:16,166 --> 01:07:16,767
East Bend offers a different

1774
01:07:16,767 --> 01:07:18,101
approach

1775
01:07:18,101 --> 01:07:19,370
It concentrates density where

1776
01:07:19,370 --> 01:07:21,405
it makes sense in a

1777
01:07:21,405 --> 01:07:22,573
purpose-built urban district

1778
01:07:22,573 --> 01:07:23,740
designed to handle it. It

1779
01:07:23,740 --> 01:07:25,309
creates a place where people

1780
01:07:25,309 --> 01:07:26,343
can live, work, and spend time

1781
01:07:26,343 --> 01:07:27,244
without putting additional

1782
01:07:27,244 --> 01:07:28,450
pressure on surrounding

1783
01:07:28,450 --> 01:07:28,346
neighborhoods that weren

1784
01:07:28,346 --> 01:07:29,246
t

1785
01:07:29,246 --> 01:07:30,130
designed for that level of

1786
01:07:30,130 --> 01:07:31,749
intensity.

1787
01:07:31,749 --> 01:07:33,583
And from a small business

1788
01:07:33,583 --> 01:07:35,385
perspective that matters.

1789
01:07:35,385 --> 01:07:37,210
Density when done right, is

1790
01:07:37,210 --> 01:07:39,421
what keeps local businesses

1791
01:07:41,250 --> 01:07:42,426
alive. It brings customers, it

1792
01:07:42,426 --> 01:07:43,628
creates energy, it builds

1793
01:07:43,628 --> 01:07:45,295
ecosystem where independent

1794
01:07:45,295 --> 01:07:46,864
operators can succeed, but it

1795
01:07:46,864 --> 01:07:48,299
has to be in the right place

1796
01:07:48,299 --> 01:07:49,567
with the right infrastructure

1797
01:07:49,567 --> 01:07:50,268
and with intentional planning

1798
01:07:50,268 --> 01:07:51,135
behind it, and that

1799
01:07:51,135 --> 01:07:52,736
s exactly

1800
01:07:52,736 --> 01:07:53,871
why this legislation

1801
01:07:53,871 --> 01:07:55,406
allows for

1802
01:07:55,406 --> 01:07:56,474
It directs grow to a location

1803
01:07:56,474 --> 01:07:57,608
that can support it while

1804
01:07:57,608 --> 01:07:58,442
helping relieve some of the

1805
01:07:58,442 --> 01:07:58,943
ongoing pressures we

1806
01:07:58,943 --> 01:08:00,245
ve all

1807
01:08:00,245 --> 01:08:01,612
felt in East Nashville. It

1808
01:08:01,612 --> 01:08:02,813
creates new opportunities for

1809
01:08:02,813 --> 01:08:04,480
small businesses, not just

1810
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:05,750
within East Bend, but across

1811
01:08:05,750 --> 01:08:06,751
the broader area by expanding

1812
01:08:06,751 --> 01:08:08,519
the customer base and

1813
01:08:08,519 --> 01:08:09,887
strengthening the local economy.

1814
01:08:09,887 --> 01:08:12,457
As a small business owner, I

1815
01:08:12,457 --> 01:08:15,457
strongly encourage you to pass

1816
01:08:16,327 --> 01:08:18,950
this legislation. It represents

1817
01:08:18,950 --> 01:08:19,564
a thoughtful strategic approach

1818
01:08:19,564 --> 01:08:20,397
to growth that benefits both

1819
01:08:20,397 --> 01:08:21,632
our neighborhoods and

1820
01:08:21,632 --> 01:08:22,233
businesses that serve them.

1821
01:08:22,233 --> 01:08:23,735
Thank you.

1822
01:08:23,735 --> 01:08:25,735
Thank you

1823
01:08:27,305 --> 01:08:30,274
Next, uh, will be Macy, uh,

1824
01:08:30,274 --> 01:08:32,674
Fluharty, um, followed by

1825
01:08:33,611 --> 01:08:34,578
Mannon Hall and Joseph Lee, um,

1826
01:08:34,578 --> 01:08:36,470
MS. Fluharti is speaking on

1827
01:08:36,470 --> 01:08:36,747
agenda item 56, East Spain

1828
01:08:36,747 --> 01:08:37,615
zoning. Go ahead, ma

1829
01:08:37,615 --> 01:08:39,217
am.

1830
01:08:39,217 --> 01:08:41,686
Thank you. My name is Macy Flu

1831
01:08:41,686 --> 01:08:43,454
Hardy. I live in District 12 on

1832
01:08:43,454 --> 01:08:45,990
u Chee, Shawnee, and Cherokee

1833
01:08:45,990 --> 01:08:48,990
land. My city councilperson is

1834
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:50,995
Aaron Evans. When I first moved

1835
01:08:50,995 --> 01:08:52,463
to Tennessee, I rented a room

1836
01:08:52,463 --> 01:08:53,664
in East Nashville. Since then,

1837
01:08:53,664 --> 01:08:54,499
I have moved around the city,

1838
01:08:54,499 --> 01:08:54,732
depending on work, but I

1839
01:08:54,732 --> 01:08:55,666
ve

1840
01:08:55,666 --> 01:08:57,435
always thought I would move

1841
01:08:57,435 --> 01:08:58,436
back to East one day soon. I

1842
01:08:58,436 --> 01:08:59,870
have friends that live out

1843
01:08:59,870 --> 01:09:01,139
there, businesses I enjoy

1844
01:09:01,139 --> 01:09:02,840
spending my money at and a

1845
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:03,608
vibrant community that is truly

1846
01:09:03,608 --> 01:09:04,509
its own. I

1847
01:09:04,509 --> 01:09:06,444
ve learned much in

1848
01:09:06,444 --> 01:09:08,460
that area, both in skills and

1849
01:09:08,460 --> 01:09:09,180
life lessons. I spent a lot of

1850
01:09:09,180 --> 01:09:10,615
my volunteer time in East

1851
01:09:10,615 --> 01:09:12,490
Nashville, and when friends

1852
01:09:12,490 --> 01:09:13,719
come to visit, we always go to

1853
01:09:13,719 --> 01:09:15,453
East. A large chunk of this

1854
01:09:15,453 --> 01:09:17,422
part of our city is up for

1855
01:09:17,422 --> 01:09:18,657
rezoning. East Nashua has a lot

1856
01:09:18,657 --> 01:09:20,258
of potential and residents have

1857
01:09:20,258 --> 01:09:23,858
made it clear what they want

1858
01:09:25,130 --> 01:09:27,399
and need. Housing, cultural

1859
01:09:27,399 --> 01:09:28,633
enrichment and green spaces.

1860
01:09:28,633 --> 01:09:30,502
Votes that jeopardize these

1861
01:09:30,502 --> 01:09:31,870
necessities in our growing city

1862
01:09:31,870 --> 01:09:33,906
will show us how committed this

1863
01:09:33,906 --> 01:09:35,740
body is to their constituents

1864
01:09:35,740 --> 01:09:37,309
versus developers and potential

1865
01:09:37,309 --> 01:09:38,409
tourists. We should all want

1866
01:09:38,409 --> 01:09:40,379
people to be able to build

1867
01:09:40,379 --> 01:09:42,247
lives and continue to enrich

1868
01:09:42,247 --> 01:09:43,582
our East Nashville. We hear all

1869
01:09:43,582 --> 01:09:44,950
the time how we want to solve

1870
01:09:44,950 --> 01:09:46,485
the affordable housing crisis

1871
01:09:46,485 --> 01:09:47,919
in our city that we want to

1872
01:09:47,919 --> 01:09:49,454
ensure our unhealth neighbors

1873
01:09:49,454 --> 01:09:50,822
can be as safe as possible.

1874
01:09:50,822 --> 01:09:52,457
This is a chance to make sure

1875
01:09:52,457 --> 01:09:53,825
we can make those steps towards

1876
01:09:53,825 --> 01:09:55,460
progress and safety to make

1877
01:09:55,460 --> 01:09:56,327
sure East Nashville stays East

1878
01:09:56,327 --> 01:09:58,327
Nashville and doesn

1879
01:09:58,596 --> 01:10:00,399
t risk

1880
01:10:00,399 --> 01:10:02,330
becoming another Broadway or

1881
01:10:02,330 --> 01:10:04,236
tonight could push the idea of

1882
01:10:04,236 --> 01:10:05,704
homes, green spaces, and local

1883
01:10:05,704 --> 01:10:07,406
community further onto a back

1884
01:10:07,406 --> 01:10:08,707
burner. I hope this council

1885
01:10:08,707 --> 01:10:09,874
votes on this bill and its

1886
01:10:09,874 --> 01:10:11,276
upcoming amendments

1887
01:10:11,276 --> 01:10:12,644
with great intention because

1888
01:10:12,644 --> 01:10:13,879
that is how it will be seen by

1889
01:10:13,879 --> 01:10:15,879
us. Thank you.

1890
01:10:16,347 --> 01:10:19,250
Thank you. Uh, next is Man and

1891
01:10:19,250 --> 01:10:21,220
Hall, followed by Joseph Lee,

1892
01:10:21,220 --> 01:10:23,122
uh, and then lastly, Tatterie

1893
01:10:23,122 --> 01:10:23,288
Marion. Go ahead, MR. Hall,

1894
01:10:23,288 --> 01:10:24,890
you

1895
01:10:24,890 --> 01:10:27,890
re recognized. Hi, my name

1896
01:10:27,492 --> 01:10:31,920
is Mannon Hall. I live at 912

1897
01:10:31,563 --> 01:10:32,364
Strauss Ave, 37206. This is one

1898
01:10:32,364 --> 01:10:33,565
of the most desirable

1899
01:10:33,565 --> 01:10:34,265
properties in the entire

1900
01:10:34,265 --> 01:10:34,766
country, and we

1901
01:10:34,766 --> 01:10:36,766
re giving all

1902
01:10:37,135 --> 01:10:39,700
these new entitlements with no

1903
01:10:39,700 --> 01:10:40,672
tangible knowledge to the

1904
01:10:40,672 --> 01:10:42,400
future cost to Nashvillians.

1905
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:42,974
How much are Nashvilleans going

1906
01:10:42,974 --> 01:10:43,274
to be on the hook for these

1907
01:10:43,274 --> 01:10:44,110
developers

1908
01:10:44,110 --> 01:10:46,110
future.

1909
01:10:47,646 --> 01:10:48,580
I take great offense when folks,

1910
01:10:48,580 --> 01:10:49,800
uh, speak about Nashville

1911
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:50,883
s

1912
01:10:50,883 --> 01:10:53,185
future in regards to transit.

1913
01:10:53,185 --> 01:10:54,987
Our transit system now is

1914
01:10:54,987 --> 01:10:56,621
incredible. The frequency

1915
01:10:56,621 --> 01:10:58,456
improvements have made my life

1916
01:10:58,456 --> 01:11:00,920
and the 30,000 Nashvillians

1917
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:02,920
lives better.

1918
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:05,730
The East Bank will be will have

1919
01:11:05,730 --> 01:11:07,320
a transit center and will be

1920
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:08,968
become an incredible hub for

1921
01:11:08,968 --> 01:11:10,136
transit use and to, you know,

1922
01:11:10,136 --> 01:11:12,371
to push off, you know, we need

1923
01:11:12,371 --> 01:11:14,873
more parking is, is offensive

1924
01:11:14,873 --> 01:11:16,575
to me personally because 30,000

1925
01:11:16,575 --> 01:11:18,444
Nashvillians use it.

1926
01:11:18,444 --> 01:11:20,379
A day, um, and that brings me

1927
01:11:20,379 --> 01:11:22,381
to why I am in strong support

1928
01:11:22,381 --> 01:11:23,616
of late filed Amendment 3. Curb

1929
01:11:23,616 --> 01:11:24,817
cuts are one of the many

1930
01:11:24,817 --> 01:11:26,552
reasons, one of the actually

1931
01:11:26,552 --> 01:11:28,621
the maybe one of the most major

1932
01:11:28,621 --> 01:11:30,220
reasons that our pikes are so

1933
01:11:30,220 --> 01:11:31,757
deadly for pedestrians and

1934
01:11:31,757 --> 01:11:33,757
cyclists.

1935
01:11:33,926 --> 01:11:35,926
By eliminate by

1936
01:11:36,362 --> 01:11:38,362
keeping the limit

1937
01:11:40,132 --> 01:11:41,133
to those three locations. This

1938
01:11:41,133 --> 01:11:42,101
will ensure that that street

1939
01:11:42,101 --> 01:11:43,680
stays safe. I

1940
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:45,700

01:12:27,379 --> 01:12:29,315

1973
01:12:51,971 --> 01:12:53,139

none of these address, address

1976

the issues that we face as

1977
01:12:58,444 --> 01:13:00,679
Williamson County residents, ok.

1978
01:13:00,679 --> 01:13:02,581
Davidson County has existed to

1979
01:13:02,581 --> 01:13:04,284
serve us, Williamson Knights.

1980
01:13:04,284 --> 01:13:06,386
Ever since our brave dei

1981
01:13:06,386 --> 01:13:08,721
General John Bellhood made the

1982
01:13:08,721 --> 01:13:10,890
first commute from Nashville to

1983
01:13:10,890 --> 01:13:12,225
to from Franklin to Nashville

1984
01:13:12,225 --> 01:13:14,661
in the winter of 1864. I

1985
01:13:14,661 --> 01:13:16,395
thought we had a good

1986
01:13:16,395 --> 01:13:17,931
understanding that uh you guys

1987
01:13:17,931 --> 01:13:19,232
provide all the jobs and

1988
01:13:19,232 --> 01:13:21,632
opportunities and we extract

1989
01:13:22,902 --> 01:13:24,370
them and pay our property tax

1990
01:13:24,370 --> 01:13:25,304
back home so they can make make

1991
01:13:25,304 --> 01:13:25,438
our school white.

1992
01:13:25,438 --> 01:13:26,472
I

1993
01:13:26,472 --> 01:13:28,400
m concerned about the

1994
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:29,776
infrastructure of the espn.

1995
01:13:29,776 --> 01:13:32,445
They are way too many parks and

1996
01:13:32,445 --> 01:13:34,513
active spaces, ok? Uh, what we,

1997
01:13:34,513 --> 01:13:37,550
we have certain nights need is

1998
01:13:37,550 --> 01:13:39,318
a 100 lane wide superhighway,

1999
01:13:39,318 --> 01:13:41,540
and all the free parking as

2000
01:13:41,540 --> 01:13:42,588
wide as your eyes can see. So I

2001
01:13:42,588 --> 01:13:44,123
can park my g-wagon at the

2002
01:13:44,123 --> 01:13:45,658
gates of the stadium where you

2003
01:13:45,658 --> 01:13:45,792
are also paying for. What we

2004
01:13:45,792 --> 01:13:47,792
re

2005
01:13:48,661 --> 01:13:50,463
gonna do, lock. This is a once

2006
01:13:50,463 --> 01:13:50,964
in a generation opportunity. So

2007
01:13:50,964 --> 01:13:52,865
please don

2008
01:13:52,865 --> 01:13:54,467
t waste it on your

2009
01:13:54,467 --> 01:13:54,701
own residence and continue to

2010
01:13:54,701 --> 01:13:56,701

as Williamson County kates

2012
01:13:57,703 --> 01:13:58,771
All I

2013
01:13:58,771 --> 01:14:00,707
m asking for you is to

2014
01:14:00,707 --> 01:14:03,109
just do what you did when you

2015
01:14:03,109 --> 01:14:03,242
remove your 9f bike lanes. It

2016
01:14:03,242 --> 01:14:04,644
s

2017
01:14:04,644 --> 01:14:06,913
a win-win situation. You just

2018
01:14:06,913 --> 01:14:09,816
have to listen to all the rich

2019
01:14:09,816 --> 01:14:12,552
property owners and you can you

2020
01:14:12,552 --> 01:14:14,860
can legally ignore all the 48%

2021
01:14:14,860 --> 01:14:15,421
of the renters in your own

2022
01:14:15,421 --> 01:14:17,857

disaster, and when I say

2054
01:15:15,480 --> 01:15:17,184
recover, I mean everything from

2055
01:15:17,184 --> 01:15:18,985

2077
01:16:00,260 --> 01:16:02,129
affordable in many cases, they

2078
01:16:02,129 --> 01:16:03,964
offer more flexibility than

01:16:03,964 --> 01:16:05,399
traditional lending options,

2080
01:16:05,399 --> 01:16:06,832

asking for your support in

2195
01:19:48,622 --> 01:19:51,526
wanted to, um, since the

2196
01:19:51,526 --> 01:19:53,361
closure of the manor, we had to

2197
01:19:53,361 --> 01:19:55,300
move our catering license that

2198
01:19:55,300 --> 01:19:57,165
we do off property and also

2199
01:19:57,165 --> 01:19:58,499
Octoberfest from we needed a,

2200
01:19:58,499 --> 01:20:00,100

2201
01:20:00,100 --> 01:20:01,269
whole purpose. I am not a beer.

2202
01:20:01,269 --> 01:20:01,436

2210
01:20:09,100 --> 01:20:12,610

2211
01:20:13,140 --> 01:20:14,949

2212
01:20:14,949 --> 01:20:16,151

2230
01:20:36,370 --> 01:20:38,720

2231
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:40,575
Monells. Um, I did want to

2232
01:20:40,575 --> 01:20:41,743
acknowledge there were 33

2233
01:20:41,743 --> 01:20:43,145
neighbors that could not be

2234
01:20:43,145 --> 01:20:44,245
here tonight that had some

2235
01:20:44,245 --> 01:20:44,980
concerns and opposition that

2236
01:20:44,980 --> 01:20:46,881
they had raised

2237
01:20:46,881 --> 01:20:47,849
spoke to them earlier, wanted,

2238
01:20:47,849 --> 01:20:49,217
told them I would, uh, note

2239
01:20:49,217 --> 01:20:50,685
their concerns for the record,

2240
01:20:50,685 --> 01:20:51,419
um, but again, overwhelmingly

2241
01:20:51,419 --> 01:20:51,920
the neighborhood association

2242
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:53,121
s

2243
01:20:53,121 --> 01:20:53,388

2244
01:20:53,388 --> 01:20:54,122
this. We

2245
01:20:54,122 --> 01:20:55,891
ve gotten a letter of

2246
01:20:55,891 --> 01:20:56,391

2249
01:20:59,127 --> 01:20:59,627
so, and again, as you heard MR.

2250
01:20:59,627 --> 01:21:00,395
King say, he

2251
01:21:00,395 --> 01:21:01,329
s not looking to

2252
01:21:01,329 --> 01:21:02,698
open any sort of beer

2253
01:21:02,698 --> 01:21:04,232

01:21:05,300 --> 01:21:06,435

01:36:06,700 --> 01:36:08,470

2618
01:36:10,108 --> 01:36:11,142
urge everyone to please go back

2619
01:36:11,142 --> 01:36:12,410
and watch it. Uh, but one of

2620
01:36:12,410 --> 01:36:13,812
the things that I wanted to

2621
01:36:13,812 --> 01:36:15,179
uplift also is that when you

2622
01:36:15,179 --> 01:36:16,714
look at the model of work that

2623
01:36:16,714 --> 01:36:18,349
Gideon Ami does, this violent

2624
01:36:18,349 --> 01:36:20,552
interruption program, the old

2625
01:36:20,552 --> 01:36:22,186
program premises or is based on

2626
01:36:22,186 --> 01:36:23,821
using people that have actual

2627
01:36:23,821 --> 01:36:24,555
experiences in the area. People

2628
01:36:24,555 --> 01:36:25,523
that have been shot, people

2629
01:36:25,523 --> 01:36:25,890
that are in gang, that

2630
01:36:25,890 --> 01:36:27,558
s how

2631
01:36:27,558 --> 01:36:28,759
the program works so that they

2632
01:36:28,759 --> 01:36:30,194
can relate to the kids so they

2633
01:36:30,194 --> 01:36:31,596
can offer them

2634
01:36:31,596 --> 01:36:32,763
something different and so when

2635
01:36:32,763 --> 01:36:33,998
we look at things like that,

2636
01:36:33,998 --> 01:36:35,266
yes, we are stories in the news

2637
01:36:35,266 --> 01:36:36,734
about one or two individuals

2638
01:36:36,734 --> 01:36:38,503
that did something. I do not

2639
01:36:38,503 --> 01:36:41,503
want us to penalize this

2640
01:36:42,206 --> 01:36:44,342
organization that is doing

2641
01:36:44,342 --> 01:36:45,509
great work because of those two

2642
01:36:45,509 --> 01:36:45,647
incidences or because they

2643
01:36:45,647 --> 01:36:46,644
re

2644
01:36:46,644 --> 01:36:47,450
using gang members. That

2645
01:36:47,450 --> 01:36:47,645
s how

2646
01:36:47,645 --> 01:36:48,346
it works. That

2647
01:36:48,346 --> 01:36:49,847
s what the kids

2648
01:36:49,847 --> 01:36:50,848
relate to. So I encourage

2649
01:36:50,848 --> 01:36:52,283
everyone to watch the

2650
01:36:52,283 --> 01:36:53,851
discussion in committee where

2651
01:36:53,851 --> 01:36:55,520
they actually stated a lot of

2652
01:36:55,520 --> 01:36:56,487
things that would be done else

2653
01:36:56,487 --> 01:36:58,155
department talks about the

2654
01:36:58,155 --> 01:36:59,190
oversight and the deliverables

2655
01:36:59,190 --> 01:37:00,591
and everything that goes with

2656
01:37:00,591 --> 01:37:00,892
it. And there was a robust

2657
01:37:00,892 --> 01:37:01,425
conversation

2658
01:37:01,425 --> 01:37:01,692
of the work that they

2659
01:37:01,692 --> 01:37:03,394
re doing

2660
01:37:03,394 --> 01:37:04,595
in the community. So I know we

2661
01:37:04,595 --> 01:37:06,731
see things in the news, but I

2662
01:37:06,731 --> 01:37:08,566
do not want that, uh, uh, to

2663
01:37:08,566 --> 01:37:09,167
affect out this organization is

2664
01:37:09,167 --> 01:37:09,400
viewed because they

2665
01:37:09,400 --> 01:37:10,702
ve been

2666
01:37:10,702 --> 01:37:10,969
doing this work for a long time

2667
01:37:10,969 --> 01:37:11,469
and they

2668
01:37:11,469 --> 01:37:12,536
ve been very

2669
01:37:12,536 --> 01:37:14,500
successful and with that ask

2670
01:37:14,500 --> 01:37:16,874
all of the approval. Thank you.

2671
01:37:16,874 --> 01:37:17,641
Thank you. Next for discussion

2672
01:37:17,641 --> 01:37:17,808

2673
01:37:17,808 --> 01:37:18,577

Thank you, Vice Mayor. I would

2676
01:37:21,980 --> 01:37:23,881
also like to rise in support of

2677
01:37:23,881 --> 01:37:25,550
this grant opportunity. Uh, we

2678
01:37:25,550 --> 01:37:27,218
have been discussing this for

2679
01:37:27,218 --> 01:37:28,553
several years now, even when I

2680
01:37:28,553 --> 01:37:29,154
was on the Public Safety

2681
01:37:29,154 --> 01:37:30,588
Committee. I

2682
01:37:30,588 --> 01:37:32,223
ve also attended

2683
01:37:32,223 --> 01:37:32,591
some of the events and programs

2684
01:37:32,591 --> 01:37:34,591
that Gideon

2685
01:37:34,625 --> 01:37:35,994
s army has held for

2686
01:37:35,994 --> 01:37:38,130
the uh students that

2687
01:37:38,130 --> 01:37:39,331
participate. I mean, these are

2688
01:37:39,331 --> 01:37:41,731
students that have experienced

2689
01:37:42,100 --> 01:37:44,136
a lot of trauma, um, not to

2690
01:37:44,136 --> 01:37:45,636
their own making, but just

2691
01:37:45,636 --> 01:37:46,710
because of the environment that

2692
01:37:46,710 --> 01:37:47,305
they

2693
01:37:47,305 --> 01:37:50,305
re in and the programs

2694
01:37:50,675 --> 01:37:51,420
that

2695
01:37:51,420 --> 01:37:52,244
uh Gideon

2696
01:37:52,244 --> 01:37:54,244
s army provides

2697
01:37:54,346 --> 01:37:56,214
provides a safe place for these

2698
01:37:56,214 --> 01:37:57,549
students to um understand

2699
01:37:57,549 --> 01:37:57,748
better some of the trauma that

2700
01:37:57,748 --> 01:37:59,584
they

2701
01:37:59,584 --> 01:38:02,821
re going to and to to

2702
01:38:02,821 --> 01:38:05,657
learn about ways to um to

2703
01:38:05,657 --> 01:38:07,725
prevent or, or to uh deal with

2704
01:38:07,725 --> 01:38:09,694
that trauma in a constructive

2705
01:38:09,694 --> 01:38:11,863
manner. So I really do support

2706
01:38:11,863 --> 01:38:14,650
this grant. I hope that uh many

2707
01:38:14,650 --> 01:38:15,834
of you will take uh Rashida up

2708
01:38:15,834 --> 01:38:17,302
on her offer when she sends out

2709
01:38:17,302 --> 01:38:18,300
the invitation to come and

2710
01:38:18,300 --> 01:38:19,404
really look at

2711
01:38:19,404 --> 01:38:20,772
and view some of the programs

2712
01:38:20,772 --> 01:38:23,772
that she does with these

2713
01:38:24,309 --> 01:38:25,210
students and uh this funding

2714
01:38:25,210 --> 01:38:26,278
will help continue that work

2715
01:38:26,278 --> 01:38:27,545
and expand that work. So I

2716
01:38:27,545 --> 01:38:29,114
encourage all of you to support

2717
01:38:29,114 --> 01:38:30,382

Obviously I stand in support of

2722
01:38:37,622 --> 01:38:38,690
the legislation. This is

2723
01:38:38,690 --> 01:38:40,592
something that I have

2724
01:38:40,592 --> 01:38:42,961
championed and have been

2725
01:38:42,961 --> 01:38:43,128
working on for years, um, I

2726
01:38:43,128 --> 01:38:44,462
don

2727
01:38:44,462 --> 01:38:46,931
t wanna repeat what others

2728
01:38:46,931 --> 01:38:47,265
have said, but I will add that

2729
01:38:47,265 --> 01:38:47,833
uh Gideon

2730
01:38:47,833 --> 01:38:49,634
s arm

2731
01:38:49,634 --> 01:38:50,702
y as an organization has jumped

2732
01:38:50,702 --> 01:38:51,836
through all of the

2733
01:38:51,836 --> 01:38:53,836
administrative hoops, their

2734
01:38:54,720 --> 01:38:54,272
finances have been audited,

2735
01:38:54,272 --> 01:38:55,974
they

2736
01:38:55,974 --> 01:38:58,610
ve submitted a boatload of

2737
01:38:58,610 --> 01:38:59,477
documentation, they

2738
01:38:59,477 --> 01:39:00,945
ve met all

2739
01:39:00,945 --> 01:39:02,114
the standards that the Metro

2740
01:39:02,114 --> 01:39:04,249
Health Department has for their

2741
01:39:04,249 --> 01:39:06,418
grantees, uh, Doctor An who is

2742
01:39:06,418 --> 01:39:07,919
oversees all of the uh

2743
01:39:07,919 --> 01:39:09,320
community violence and violence

2744
01:39:09,320 --> 01:39:10,121
intervention and interruption

2745
01:39:10,121 --> 01:39:11,423
programs at the health

2746
01:39:11,423 --> 01:39:12,490
department oversees because we

2747
01:39:12,490 --> 01:39:14,250
know that gun violence is a

2748
01:39:14,250 --> 01:39:15,560
public health crisis, so the

2749
01:39:15,560 --> 01:39:16,761
health department oversees all

2750
01:39:16,761 --> 01:39:18,129
of these programs and tracks

2751
01:39:18,129 --> 01:39:18,329
the data and all the metrics

2752
01:39:18,329 --> 01:39:19,531
and

2753
01:39:19,531 --> 01:39:21,833
keeps up with all the groups

2754
01:39:21,833 --> 01:39:24,436
and Doctor n is uh very much uh

2755
01:39:24,436 --> 01:39:25,837
an expert uh in this area and

2756
01:39:25,837 --> 01:39:27,710
would not be a part of it if it

2757
01:39:27,710 --> 01:39:27,272
was not legitimate, if it

2758
01:39:27,272 --> 01:39:28,974
wasn

2759
01:39:28,974 --> 01:39:29,207
t a good program. I

2760
01:39:29,207 --> 01:39:30,108
wouldn

2761
01:39:30,108 --> 01:39:30,342
t put my name on it if

2762
01:39:30,342 --> 01:39:32,342
it wasn

2763
01:39:33,578 --> 01:39:34,412
t a good program, uh,

2764
01:39:34,412 --> 01:39:35,880
so I encourage all my

2765
01:39:35,880 --> 01:39:38,820

everyone

2850
01:42:24,683 --> 01:42:25,517
s support here, um,

2851
01:42:25,517 --> 01:42:26,918
behind every light switch,

2852
01:42:26,918 --> 01:42:27,986
hospital and functioning city

2853
01:42:27,986 --> 01:42:28,988
are the line workers putting

2854
01:42:28,988 --> 01:42:29,921
themselves at risk to keep the

2855
01:42:29,921 --> 01:42:30,288
power on. Um, it

2856
01:42:30,288 --> 01:42:31,490
s one of the

2857
01:42:31,490 --> 01:42:32,557
most dangerous jobs in the

2858
01:42:32,557 --> 01:42:34,930
country and especially

2859
01:42:34,930 --> 01:42:35,227
highlighted with our recent uh

2860
01:42:35,227 --> 01:42:38,227
experience with, with Ice Storm

2861
01:42:38,597 --> 01:42:40,198
Fern, um, they work in extreme

2862
01:42:40,198 --> 01:42:42,267
heights and temperatures near

2863
01:42:42,267 --> 01:42:43,536
lethal voltage, long hours, I

2864
01:42:43,536 --> 01:42:44,403
think back to when I got to

2865
01:42:44,403 --> 01:42:45,637
visit with some of the line

2866
01:42:45,637 --> 01:42:47,390
workers during the storm, and

2867
01:42:47,390 --> 01:42:48,774
they showed me a photograph of

2868
01:42:48,774 --> 01:42:50,843
a kind of wooded area and a

2869
01:42:50,843 --> 01:42:52,979
hill that they had to climb up

2870
01:42:52,979 --> 01:42:54,790
and can haul heavy gear and and

2871
01:42:54,790 --> 01:42:54,846
put power back on, and then

2872
01:42:54,846 --> 01:42:58,446
they shared with me that on

2873
01:42:58,617 --> 01:42:58,883
their way back down, they

2874
01:42:58,883 --> 01:42:59,840
re,

2875
01:42:59,840 --> 01:43:00,419
they

2876
01:43:00,419 --> 01:43:01,620
re access, her exit was

2877
01:43:01,620 --> 01:43:02,588
blocked because some trees had

2878
01:43:02,588 --> 01:43:03,856
fallen behind them and they had

2879
01:43:03,856 --> 01:43:04,623
to get that cleared out. So

2880
01:43:04,623 --> 01:43:06,580
these, these are really the

2881
01:43:06,580 --> 01:43:07,359
people doing phenomenal work to

2882
01:43:07,359 --> 01:43:08,261
keep our city going. Um, I

2883
01:43:08,261 --> 01:43:09,828
think it is every year is

2884
01:43:09,828 --> 01:43:10,563
fitting to recognize them, but

2885
01:43:10,563 --> 01:43:10,830
especially with what

2886
01:43:10,830 --> 01:43:12,398
s been

2887
01:43:12,398 --> 01:43:12,531
going on recently, um, I can

2888
01:43:12,531 --> 01:43:13,900
t

2889
01:43:13,900 --> 01:43:14,867
thank them enough for all the,

2890
01:43:14,867 --> 01:43:16,301
all the time away from their

2891
01:43:16,301 --> 01:43:17,103
family. Many of them lost power

2892
01:43:17,103 --> 01:43:17,937
like we did

2893
01:43:17,937 --> 01:43:20,339
um, but they were still out

2894
01:43:20,339 --> 01:43:22,274
there, um, long shifts, again,

2895
01:43:22,274 --> 01:43:23,776
cold weather, hard work, and so

2896
01:43:23,776 --> 01:43:25,440
um really appreciate that, um,

2897
01:43:25,440 --> 01:43:27,747
and so would like to also amend

2898
01:43:27,747 --> 01:43:30,747
my motion to include 12.3 um

2899
01:43:32,384 --> 01:43:34,386
for this bill. Thank you. Ok,

2900
01:43:34,386 --> 01:43:37,323
um, so there is a motion to

2901
01:43:37,323 --> 01:43:39,391
approve with Rule 12.3 applied

2902
01:43:39,391 --> 01:43:42,328
such that all members voting in

2903
01:43:42,328 --> 01:43:45,131
the affirmative will be listed

2904
01:43:45,131 --> 01:43:47,133
as co-sponsors. Um, ok, we are

2905
01:43:47,133 --> 01:43:47,933
on to discussion. Um, MS. Sira,

2906
01:43:47,933 --> 01:43:49,702
I saw that you

2907
01:43:49,702 --> 01:43:50,569

01:43:52,939 --> 01:43:53,720
Uh, thank you, Vice Mayor. I

2911
01:43:53,720 --> 01:43:54,840
d

2912
01:43:54,840 --> 01:43:57,743
like to suspend the rules to

2913
01:43:57,743 --> 01:44:00,743

2914
01:44:02,548 --> 01:44:05,918
Ok, uh, there is, um, a motion,

uh, to suspend the rules, um,

2916
01:44:07,853 --> 01:44:09,689
what, for what I see to be a

2917
01:44:09,689 --> 01:44:11,123
housekeeping amendment. Um, is

2918
01:44:11,123 --> 01:44:13,325

2919
01:44:13,325 --> 01:44:15,661

Seeing, uh, well, MR. Um, uh, I

2924
01:44:24,336 --> 01:44:25,771
apologize. MR. Cash, chair, did

2925
01:44:25,771 --> 01:44:27,139
this come to your committee on

2926
01:44:27,139 --> 01:44:30,760
its late fiul nature? Yes, it

2927
01:44:30,760 --> 01:44:31,710
did, and we voted to support

2928
01:44:31,710 --> 01:44:32,678
the plate foul nature 6 in

2929
01:44:32,678 --> 01:44:34,346
favor of 0 against, 0, no

2930
01:44:34,346 --> 01:44:36,916
voting. All right, so again

2931
01:44:36,916 --> 01:44:37,116
with that report, I will ask if

2932
01:44:37,116 --> 01:44:39,116
there

2933
01:44:40,152 --> 01:44:42,221
s any objection. Seeing

2934
01:44:42,221 --> 01:44:44,990
none, the rules are suspended,

2935
01:44:44,990 --> 01:44:46,910
and we, um, uh, if you, uh,

2936
01:44:46,910 --> 01:44:47,260
uh, make a motion, we can take

2937
01:44:47,260 --> 01:44:47,259
this up now. All right, I

2938
01:44:47,259 --> 01:44:48,360
ll

2939
01:44:48,360 --> 01:44:48,694
move for approval. All right,

2940
01:44:48,694 --> 01:44:48,961
go ahead, ma

2941
01:44:48,961 --> 01:44:49,128
am. There

2942
01:44:49,128 --> 01:44:49,828
s a

2943
01:44:49,828 --> 01:44:50,363
motion to amend. It

2944
01:44:50,363 --> 01:44:51,263
s a motion

2945
01:44:51,263 --> 01:44:52,497
to amend. It

2946
01:44:52,497 --> 01:44:53,799
s a very short

2947
01:44:53,799 --> 01:44:55,768
housekeeping rules, but the

2948
01:44:55,768 --> 01:44:57,369
whole idea is that I would love

2949
01:44:57,369 --> 01:44:58,603
for it to say line workers

2950
01:44:58,603 --> 01:45:00,500
instead of linemen. This day

2951
01:45:00,500 --> 01:45:00,806
and age we have women walking

2952
01:45:00,806 --> 01:45:01,373
as well and so if we

2953
01:45:01,373 --> 01:45:02,408
re going

2954
01:45:02,408 --> 01:45:03,842
to recognize the troop, we want

2955
01:45:03,842 --> 01:45:05,244
to make sure we recognize all

2956
01:45:05,244 --> 01:45:06,812
of them in that rather than

2957
01:45:06,812 --> 01:45:08,247
using linemen, which is the

2958
01:45:08,247 --> 01:45:08,981
original word, uh, we wanna

2959
01:45:08,981 --> 01:45:11,350
make sure we recognize all the

2960
01:45:11,350 --> 01:45:14,553
people that are doing the job

2961
01:45:14,553 --> 01:45:14,953
and so this amendment just

2962
01:45:14,953 --> 01:45:16,388
change

2963
01:45:16,388 --> 01:45:16,822
linemen to line workers. All

2964
01:45:16,822 --> 01:45:17,356
right, um, you

2965
01:45:17,356 --> 01:45:19,356

2966
01:45:20,292 --> 01:45:22,692

this motion to amend?

2970
01:45:26,865 --> 01:45:29,434
Seeing none, all in favor of

2971
01:45:29,434 --> 01:45:32,305
the amendment, please say aye.

2972
01:45:32,305 --> 01:45:33,572

Yes, please. Move as amended.

3162
01:51:20,190 --> 01:51:21,154

01:51:37,403 --> 01:51:38,437
like to move to defer to the

3172
01:51:38,437 --> 01:51:39,772

01:51:46,646 --> 01:51:47,346

01:51:47,346 --> 01:51:48,347

01:51:48,347 --> 01:51:50,820
s office at the

01:51:52,451 --> 01:51:53,353
So they

01:51:53,353 --> 01:51:55,121

01:51:55,121 --> 01:51:56,689
request now, and we believe by

3185
01:51:56,689 --> 01:51:57,590
the 2nd meeting in JULY we will

3186
01:51:57,590 --> 01:51:59,125

3187
01:51:59,125 --> 01:51:59,792
something that they can enforce

3188
01:51:59,792 --> 01:52:00,250
for us or not. So we

3189
01:52:00,250 --> 01:52:02,250

3190
01:52:03,596 --> 01:52:05,565

s a

3560
02:02:37,650 --> 02:02:37,199
motion to approve and it

3561
02:02:37,199 --> 02:02:38,200
s

3562
02:02:38,200 --> 02:02:39,801
properly seconded. Go ahead,

3563
02:02:39,801 --> 02:02:40,235
sir. Thank you. Well, this is

3564
02:02:40,235 --> 02:02:40,536
the moment we

3565
02:02:40,536 --> 02:02:41,970
ve all been

3566
02:02:41,970 --> 02:02:43,373
waiting for, as you said, and I

3567
02:02:43,373 --> 02:02:43,639
left, I left yesterday

3568
02:02:43,639 --> 02:02:44,339
s

3569
02:02:44,339 --> 02:02:45,607
planning and zoning committee

3570
02:02:45,607 --> 02:02:46,375
with a big smile. I think it

3571
02:02:46,375 --> 02:02:47,576
was really, really just

3572
02:02:47,576 --> 02:02:48,677
exciting to meet as a Nashville

3573
02:02:48,677 --> 02:02:52,277
and as someone who loves the

3574
02:02:52,848 --> 02:02:54,483
city, um, to see, you know,

3575
02:02:54,483 --> 02:02:55,551
months and months and years and

3576
02:02:55,551 --> 02:02:56,718
generations of work coming

3577
02:02:56,718 --> 02:02:57,853
together to see council members

3578
02:02:57,853 --> 02:02:59,488
with differing viewpoints and

3579
02:02:59,488 --> 02:03:00,923
differing amendments kind of

3580
02:03:00,923 --> 02:03:02,124
landing on similar pages and

3581
02:03:02,124 --> 02:03:02,491
working together to make this a

3582
02:03:02,491 --> 02:03:03,392
project that

3583
02:03:03,392 --> 02:03:04,960
s not just for one

3584
02:03:04,960 --> 02:03:05,761
district but for the whole city,

3585
02:03:05,761 --> 02:03:06,828
um, so it was really

3586
02:03:06,828 --> 02:03:08,163
cool to see and I hope we, we

3587
02:03:08,163 --> 02:03:08,330
continue that this evening. Um,

3588
02:03:08,330 --> 02:03:09,665
we

3589
02:03:09,665 --> 02:03:10,666
ve heard about, um,

3590
02:03:10,666 --> 02:03:13,660
congestion, the need for

3591
02:03:13,535 --> 02:03:14,970
housing, um, family orientation,

3592
02:03:14,970 --> 02:03:15,837
green space, multimodal, and so

3593
02:03:15,837 --> 02:03:16,972
much more, and I think these

3594
02:03:16,972 --> 02:03:17,406
are covered in these amendments

3595
02:03:17,406 --> 02:03:18,273
as as we

3596
02:03:18,273 --> 02:03:19,174
ve talked about many

3597
02:03:19,174 --> 02:03:19,508
times before. It

3598
02:03:19,508 --> 02:03:20,542
s a

3599
02:03:20,542 --> 02:03:20,742
foreign-based zoning, it

3600
02:03:20,742 --> 02:03:22,742
s not

3601
02:03:23,111 --> 02:03:26,216
an sp and so it will live and

3602
02:03:26,216 --> 02:03:29,651
breathe and be changed over the

3603
02:03:29,651 --> 02:03:31,530
years. This is a multi-decades,

3604
02:03:31,530 --> 02:03:32,540
um, process and and sight, um,

3605
02:03:32,540 --> 02:03:33,689
but just a huge thank you to

3606
02:03:33,689 --> 02:03:35,691

02:03:35,691 --> 02:03:36,725
especially, um, Lisa and Lucy

3608
02:03:36,725 --> 02:03:37,526
and Brett and Ma

3609
02:03:37,526 --> 02:03:38,527
t t and Eric and everyone on

3610

the planning department who

3611
02:03:39,928 --> 02:03:40,996
worked nights and weekends and

3612
02:03:40,996 --> 02:03:41,129
mornings and hours I didn

3613
02:03:41,129 --> 02:03:42,965
t

3614
02:03:42,965 --> 02:03:44,466

02:03:45,300 --> 02:03:46,635
everyone who worked on this,

3617
02:03:46,635 --> 02:03:48,700
this is a generational once in

3618
02:03:48,700 --> 02:03:48,337
a lifetime opportunity, and I

3619
02:03:48,337 --> 02:03:49,171
think we

3620
02:03:49,171 --> 02:03:50,939
re really delivering

3621
02:03:50,939 --> 02:03:53,208
uh for our community.

3622
02:03:53,208 --> 02:03:54,710
Um, so skipping Amendment One,

3623
02:03:54,710 --> 02:03:56,345
I would like to then move

3624
02:03:56,345 --> 02:03:59,345
Amendment 2, please. Is there a

3625
02:04:00,283 --> 02:04:00,483
second? Ok, go ahead, sir.

3626
02:04:00,483 --> 02:04:01,250
There

3627
02:04:01,250 --> 02:04:03,318
s a motion to amend with

3628
02:04:03,318 --> 02:04:04,853
Amendment 2, which, uh,

3629
02:04:04,853 --> 02:04:06,355
precludes beer and cigarette

3630
02:04:06,355 --> 02:04:07,923
market uses. Anything

3631
02:04:07,923 --> 02:04:09,124
additionally you wish to say

3632
02:04:09,124 --> 02:04:10,158
just that this was part of the

3633
02:04:10,158 --> 02:04:11,760
feedback that we received from

3634
02:04:11,760 --> 02:04:13,128
a lot of emails and um this

3635
02:04:13,128 --> 02:04:14,263
would prohibit that use. Ok, is

3636
02:04:14,263 --> 02:04:15,300
there any discussion on this

3637
02:04:15,300 --> 02:04:16,398
amendment?

3638
02:04:16,398 --> 02:04:19,301

acknowledge that so we can just

3650
02:04:39,189 --> 02:04:42,558
kind of proceed through. Uh, so

3651
02:04:42,558 --> 02:04:43,927

Ok. Um, this, uh, adds some, uh,

Ok, um, this is regarding a

stepbacks. Is that correct, sir?

3695
02:05:46,422 --> 02:05:47,390
Anything else you want to say

3696
02:05:47,390 --> 02:05:48,858
about that? Yes, so I wanted to

3697
02:05:48,858 --> 02:05:49,626
toss this over to the planning

3698
02:05:49,626 --> 02:05:50,292
table, um, we

3699
02:05:50,292 --> 02:05:51,628
ve had some great

3700
02:05:51,628 --> 02:05:52,862
discussions since planning

3701
02:05:52,862 --> 02:05:55,980
committee yesterday, um, some

3702
02:05:55,980 --> 02:05:57,100
concerns were raised about

3703
02:05:57,100 --> 02:05:58,670
unintended consequences of what

3704
02:05:58,670 --> 02:05:58,234
the step Xs are and how it

3705
02:05:58,234 --> 02:05:59,469
s

3706
02:05:59,469 --> 02:06:00,503
already baked in in other ways

3707
02:06:00,503 --> 02:06:01,871
in the legislation, so would

3708
02:06:01,871 --> 02:06:02,872
love planning to uh to explain

3709
02:06:02,872 --> 02:06:03,806
that if you could. All right,

3710
02:06:03,806 --> 02:06:04,908
um, uh, MS. Milligan for the

3711
02:06:04,908 --> 02:06:05,410
planning department. You

3712
02:06:05,410 --> 02:06:06,242
re

3713
02:06:06,242 --> 02:06:06,476
recognized regarding MR.

3714
02:06:06,476 --> 02:06:08,278
Coopin

3715
02:06:08,278 --> 02:06:09,345
s Amendment 4, related

3716
02:06:09,345 --> 02:06:11,745
to stepbacks. Go ahead.

3717
02:06:12,415 --> 02:06:15,415
Sure. So as the planning

3718
02:06:16,853 --> 02:06:19,122
department staff was riding the,

3719
02:06:19,122 --> 02:06:20,857
um, text that creates the

3720
02:06:20,857 --> 02:06:22,525
subdistrict. We did consider

3721
02:06:22,525 --> 02:06:24,525
adding requirements for

3722
02:06:24,561 --> 02:06:25,528
building stepbacks, which at a

3723
02:06:25,528 --> 02:06:27,960
certain level, which what the,

3724
02:06:27,960 --> 02:06:29,365
what that means is that it

3725
02:06:29,365 --> 02:06:31,670
pushes the building back away

3726
02:06:31,670 --> 02:06:32,569
from either the street or open

3727
02:06:32,569 --> 02:06:34,270
space or however you MAY define

3728
02:06:34,270 --> 02:06:35,710
it. Um, we did think about that

3729
02:06:35,710 --> 02:06:36,539
and consider it, but we

3730
02:06:36,539 --> 02:06:39,800
actually decided to go with

3731
02:06:39,800 --> 02:06:40,144
different ways to think about

3732
02:06:40,144 --> 02:06:40,844
light and air. And that

3733
02:06:40,844 --> 02:06:41,778
s the

3734
02:06:41,778 --> 02:06:42,946
reason that you would want to

3735
02:06:42,946 --> 02:06:44,615
step back is to create the

3736
02:06:44,615 --> 02:06:45,949
ability for light and air to

3737
02:06:45,949 --> 02:06:49,549
get to the street level. So

3738
02:06:51,540 --> 02:06:53,423
what we did instead was we um

3739
02:06:53,423 --> 02:06:55,892
created a uh scheme that

3740
02:06:55,892 --> 02:06:58,292
includes uh maximum floor

3741
02:06:58,761 --> 02:07:01,264
plates, um, maximum, um, tower

3742
02:07:01,264 --> 02:07:03,320
length, uh, tower separation

3743
02:07:03,320 --> 02:07:05,735
and so all of those things and

3744
02:07:05,735 --> 02:07:07,403
concert together create that

3745
02:07:07,403 --> 02:07:09,239
opportunity for light and air,

3746
02:07:09,239 --> 02:07:11,207
um, that just sometimes is not

3747
02:07:11,207 --> 02:07:13,443
achieved as well as

3748
02:07:13,443 --> 02:07:15,445
um, or as is achieved better

3749
02:07:15,445 --> 02:07:16,479
than stepbacks would create it.

3750
02:07:16,479 --> 02:07:18,181
Thank you. Just one quick

3751
02:07:18,181 --> 02:07:20,517
follow-up question. Um, if the,

3752
02:07:20,517 --> 02:07:22,118
if this came to the downtown

3753
02:07:22,118 --> 02:07:24,421
drc or potentially the East

3754
02:07:24,421 --> 02:07:24,888
Bank drc, which I

3755
02:07:24,888 --> 02:07:25,722
m very

3756
02:07:25,722 --> 02:07:26,857
excited about and look forward

3757
02:07:26,857 --> 02:07:28,358
to talking about our next

3758
02:07:28,358 --> 02:07:29,526
meeting with that, um, with

3759
02:07:29,526 --> 02:07:31,940
that group have the ability to

3760
02:07:31,940 --> 02:07:32,395
impose stepbacks for things to

3761
02:07:32,395 --> 02:07:33,296
adjust the the light and air

3762
02:07:33,296 --> 02:07:35,296
flow.

3763
02:07:36,533 --> 02:07:39,168
Yes, certainly, and, and we, um,

3764
02:07:39,168 --> 02:07:39,636
having a standard that doesn

3765
02:07:39,636 --> 02:07:40,837
t

3766
02:07:40,837 --> 02:07:41,400
require a step back, doesn

3767
02:07:41,400 --> 02:07:41,738
t

3768
02:07:41,738 --> 02:07:42,405
mean that there couldn

3769
02:07:42,405 --> 02:07:43,940
t be a

3770
02:07:43,940 --> 02:07:45,375
step back if an architect is

3771
02:07:45,375 --> 02:07:46,776
creating a building and they

3772
02:07:46,776 --> 02:07:48,711
find that having a step back on

3773
02:07:48,711 --> 02:07:50,113
a part of a building creates a

3774
02:07:50,113 --> 02:07:51,147
better design, more interesting

3775
02:07:51,147 --> 02:07:52,649
architecture they could

3776
02:07:52,649 --> 02:07:52,949
certainly have one, but this

3777
02:07:52,949 --> 02:07:54,584
just wouldn

3778
02:07:54,584 --> 02:07:55,618
t require it as a

3779
02:07:55,618 --> 02:07:58,180
minimum standard. All right,

3780
02:07:58,388 --> 02:07:58,688
thank you. So I

3781
02:07:58,688 --> 02:07:58,822
m gonna, I

3782
02:07:58,822 --> 02:08:00,290
m

3783
02:08:00,290 --> 02:08:00,790
gonna, um, because of that and

3784
02:08:00,790 --> 02:08:01,191
again conversations I

3785
02:08:01,191 --> 02:08:01,457
ve had, I

3786
02:08:01,457 --> 02:08:02,525
think it

3787
02:08:02,525 --> 02:08:03,526
s important that we

3788
02:08:03,526 --> 02:08:04,661
have buildings that breathe and

3789
02:08:04,661 --> 02:08:05,940
have porosity and have air to

3790
02:08:05,940 --> 02:08:05,662
them, and we don

3791
02:08:05,662 --> 02:08:06,996
t have big

3792
02:08:06,996 --> 02:08:08,498
blocky walls, but I think from

3793
02:08:08,498 --> 02:08:08,898
what I understand this is

3794
02:08:08,898 --> 02:08:09,365
already kind of

3795
02:08:09,365 --> 02:08:09,599
incorporated, so I

3796
02:08:09,599 --> 02:08:10,433
m gonna

3797
02:08:10,433 --> 02:08:12,833
withdraw the motion on

3798
02:08:12,936 --> 02:08:14,737
Amendment 4. All right. Um, ok,

3799
02:08:14,737 --> 02:08:15,772
um, we continue with discussion.

3800
02:08:15,772 --> 02:08:17,907
You still have the floor, MR.

3801
02:08:17,907 --> 02:08:19,342
Coopin. Um, what is presently

3802
02:08:19,342 --> 02:08:22,780
before us is a motion to

3803
02:08:22,780 --> 02:08:24,480
approve, um, with, as amended,

3804
02:08:24,480 --> 02:08:25,615
with amendments 2 and 3 so far.

3805
02:08:25,615 --> 02:08:28,117
Go ahead, sir. Thank you. Move

3806
02:08:28,117 --> 02:08:29,986
Amendment 5. Is there a second?

3807
02:08:29,986 --> 02:08:33,556
Ok, go ahead, sir. Um, thank

3808
02:08:33,556 --> 02:08:35,992
you to not, not much to discuss

3809
02:08:35,992 --> 02:08:37,528
here, just, um, any sort of

3810
02:08:37,528 --> 02:08:38,429
digital exterior lighting,

3811
02:08:38,429 --> 02:08:39,295
large displays, things like

3812
02:08:39,295 --> 02:08:40,797
that, um, can

3813
02:08:40,797 --> 02:08:42,980
be concerning for neighborhoods,

3814
02:08:42,980 --> 02:08:43,267
um, and so this was something

3815
02:08:43,267 --> 02:08:44,500
that I wanted to make sure it

3816
02:08:44,500 --> 02:08:46,200
was not a permitted use, um,

3817
02:08:46,200 --> 02:08:47,637
and so if, if it were to ever

3818
02:08:47,637 --> 02:08:48,572
be requested as a permitted use,

3819
02:08:48,572 --> 02:08:50,139
um, it would have to come

3820
02:08:50,139 --> 02:08:52,242
before council for approval. Um,

3821
02:08:52,242 --> 02:08:55,842
alrighty, uh, you have heard an

3822
02:08:55,979 --> 02:08:58,820
explanation of, uh, Amendment 5,

3823
02:08:58,820 --> 02:08:59,883
the motion to amend, uh, was

02:08:59,883 --> 02:09:00,885
properly seconded. Is there any

3825
02:09:00,885 --> 02:09:01,951
discussion on the motion to

3826
02:09:01,951 --> 02:09:02,850

Ok. Uh, MR. Coopin, uh, do you

3833
02:09:13,264 --> 02:09:14,564
wish to renew your motion to

3834
02:09:14,564 --> 02:09:16,500

3835
02:09:16,500 --> 02:09:17,935

public realm. Go ahead, sir.

3844
02:09:33,517 --> 02:09:35,318
Thank you. So this is something

3845
02:09:35,318 --> 02:09:38,318
that requests um planning to

3846
02:09:39,155 --> 02:09:40,958
bring a report on the mcsp and

3847
02:09:40,958 --> 02:09:42,592
public realm

3848
02:09:42,592 --> 02:09:44,662
which are big considerations,

3849
02:09:44,662 --> 02:09:45,795
um, by JULY 31st for an initial

3850
02:09:45,795 --> 02:09:46,697
draft and at the end of the

3851
02:09:46,697 --> 02:09:46,964
year, um, I know that

3852
02:09:46,964 --> 02:09:47,831
s been a

3853
02:09:47,831 --> 02:09:48,970
big consideration. Timeline

3854
02:09:48,970 --> 02:09:49,366
s a

3855
02:09:49,366 --> 02:09:51,350
big consideration. I, I wanna

3856
02:09:51,350 --> 02:09:51,935
keep this on, um, but I also

3857
02:09:51,935 --> 02:09:52,268
wanna be clear that I

3858
02:09:52,268 --> 02:09:53,771
ve spoken

3859
02:09:53,771 --> 02:09:55,205
to planning extensively. They

3860
02:09:55,205 --> 02:09:56,640
have committed to working very

3861
02:09:56,640 --> 02:09:58,608
hard on this in the coming

3862
02:09:58,608 --> 02:09:59,810
months and and it MAY warrant

3863
02:09:59,810 --> 02:09:59,944
extensions over time. We don

3864
02:09:59,944 --> 02:10:00,844
t

3865
02:10:00,844 --> 02:10:01,245
want to rush this. We want to

3866
02:10:01,245 --> 02:10:01,745
make sure there

3867
02:10:01,745 --> 02:10:03,314
s public

3868
02:10:03,314 --> 02:10:04,847
engagement and adequate, um,

3869
02:10:04,847 --> 02:10:06,483
adequate time to get it right,

3870
02:10:06,483 --> 02:10:07,550
so I wanna put this on, um,

3871
02:10:07,550 --> 02:10:08,519
currently, but also wanna make

3872
02:10:08,519 --> 02:10:09,353
sure on the record that

3873
02:10:09,353 --> 02:10:10,588
this is something that if it

3874
02:10:10,588 --> 02:10:11,588
needs more time to, to breathe

3875
02:10:11,588 --> 02:10:12,189
or to work that that we

3876
02:10:12,189 --> 02:10:12,990
re

3877
02:10:12,990 --> 02:10:15,590
supportive of that again, it

3878
02:10:15,590 --> 02:10:15,726
s

3879
02:10:15,726 --> 02:10:16,894
more important to get it right

3880
02:10:16,894 --> 02:10:17,727
than to get it fast. So, um,

3881
02:10:17,727 --> 02:10:18,462
would urge my colleagues to

3882
02:10:18,462 --> 02:10:18,729
support that. All right,

3883
02:10:18,729 --> 02:10:20,296
there

3884
02:10:20,296 --> 02:10:21,799
s a motion to amend, uh,

3885
02:10:21,799 --> 02:10:22,666
with Amendment 6 by, um,

3886
02:10:22,666 --> 02:10:23,466
sponsor Coupin. You

3887
02:10:23,466 --> 02:10:24,901

3888
02:10:24,901 --> 02:10:25,803
explanation of that amendment.

3889
02:10:25,803 --> 02:10:27,204
The motion was properly

3890
02:10:27,204 --> 02:10:28,571
seconded. Is there any

3891
02:10:28,571 --> 02:10:29,840
discussion on the motion to

3892
02:10:29,840 --> 02:10:31,809
amend with Amendment 6.

3893
02:10:31,809 --> 02:10:33,710
Seeing none, all in favor,

3894
02:10:33,710 --> 02:10:35,112
please say aye. Any voting no

3895
02:10:35,112 --> 02:10:37,140

um, you still have the floor,

3902
02:10:52,830 --> 02:10:54,365

away from mine, this one would

3923
02:11:28,266 --> 02:11:29,433
have to come at the end based

3924
02:11:29,433 --> 02:11:29,733

02:11:38,509 --> 02:11:39,109
you have, um, the floor, sir,

3932
02:11:39,109 --> 02:11:39,810
and so I don

3933
02:11:39,810 --> 02:11:40,544
t know

3934
02:11:40,544 --> 02:11:40,678
what, uh, conversations you

3935
02:11:40,678 --> 02:11:42,678
ve

3936
02:11:44,348 --> 02:11:46,350
had with other, um, members. Um,

3937
02:11:46,350 --> 02:11:48,352
I would suggest, um, that we

3938
02:11:48,352 --> 02:11:50,870
are on discussion now at this

3939
02:11:50,870 --> 02:11:51,556
juncture for a motion to

3940
02:11:51,556 --> 02:11:53,956
approve as amended with

3941
02:11:57,395 --> 02:11:59,395
amendments 235, and 6. Other

3942
02:11:59,830 --> 02:12:02,399
members, uh, MAY enter the

3943
02:12:02,399 --> 02:12:04,680
queue at this juncture, um, and,

3944
02:12:04,680 --> 02:12:05,236
uh, we can proceed in that

3945
02:12:05,236 --> 02:12:06,303
regard, unless you very

3946
02:12:06,303 --> 02:12:08,472
specifically want to make one

3947
02:12:08,472 --> 02:12:10,875
of them yourself as the primary

3948
02:12:10,875 --> 02:12:12,409
sponsor. Ok, um, so with that,

3949
02:12:12,409 --> 02:12:14,440
uh, next in the queue is

3950
02:12:14,440 --> 02:12:15,546
council member cap, uh,

3951
02:12:15,546 --> 02:12:16,447
councilmember Cap, you are

3952
02:12:16,447 --> 02:12:18,115
recognized.

3953
02:12:18,115 --> 02:12:21,180
Thank you, Vice Mayor. I have a,

3954
02:12:21,180 --> 02:12:23,870
a series to move, um, uh, uh,

3955
02:12:23,870 --> 02:12:24,121
MAY we use that same procedure.

3956
02:12:24,121 --> 02:12:27,625
Indeed we MAY. Go ahead, sir.

3957
02:12:27,625 --> 02:12:27,958
Thank you. I move Amendment 20.

3958
02:12:27,958 --> 02:12:29,958
Ok, there

3959
02:12:31,328 --> 02:12:33,364
s a motion to amend

3960
02:12:33,364 --> 02:12:34,431
with Amendment 20, uh, go ahead,

3961
02:12:34,431 --> 02:12:36,967
sir. Thank you, Vice Mayor.

3962
02:12:36,967 --> 02:12:37,134
This is an important one, we,

3963
02:12:37,134 --> 02:12:38,102
it

3964
02:12:38,102 --> 02:12:39,370
s urgently important that

3965
02:12:39,370 --> 02:12:41,539
when we build the East Bank we

3966
02:12:41,539 --> 02:12:43,541
build it as a neighborhood and

3967
02:12:43,541 --> 02:12:45,609
the, the bill as of a couple of

3968
02:12:45,609 --> 02:12:47,945
weeks ago allowed almost

3969
02:12:47,945 --> 02:12:49,947
unlimited hotel uses. This is a

3970
02:12:49,947 --> 02:12:51,615
limitation on hotel uses, um,

3971
02:12:51,615 --> 02:12:53,117
hotels can certainly be part of

3972
02:12:53,117 --> 02:12:53,284
thriving neighborhoods, but I

3973
02:12:53,284 --> 02:12:54,952
m

3974
02:12:54,952 --> 02:12:56,887
not aware of any neighborhoods

3975
02:12:56,887 --> 02:12:58,255
that are mostly hotels, and so

3976
02:12:58,255 --> 02:12:59,490
this is um

3977
02:12:59,490 --> 02:12:59,723
an important amendment to make

3978
02:12:59,723 --> 02:13:00,224
sure we

3979
02:13:00,224 --> 02:13:01,425
re building a

3980
02:13:01,425 --> 02:13:03,425
neighborhood for Nashvilleians

3981
02:13:06,130 --> 02:13:07,798
in this area. I understand, um,

3982
02:13:07,798 --> 02:13:09,668
it was, uh, deemed friendly

3983
02:13:09,668 --> 02:13:11,236
last night and so with that I

3984
02:13:11,236 --> 02:13:11,670
urge your support and thank you.

3985
02:13:11,670 --> 02:13:12,437
All right, there

3986
02:13:12,437 --> 02:13:14,172
s a motion to

3987
02:13:14,172 --> 02:13:16,308
amend, uh, with councilmember

3988
02:13:16,308 --> 02:13:16,440
Caps Amendment 20. Um, you

3989
02:13:16,440 --> 02:13:17,841
ve

3990
02:13:17,841 --> 02:13:20,578
heard an explanation. It was

3991
02:13:20,578 --> 02:13:22,981
properly seconded. Is there any

3992
02:13:22,981 --> 02:13:24,548
discussion on Amendment 20.

3993
02:13:24,548 --> 02:13:26,851
Ok, I see some folks in the

3994
02:13:26,851 --> 02:13:28,586
queue if there is discussion on

3995
02:13:28,586 --> 02:13:29,320
Amendment 20 in particular and

3996
02:13:29,320 --> 02:13:31,720
specifically. Would you raise

3997
02:13:31,789 --> 02:13:33,490
your hand, please? Ok, um, Ms.

3998
02:13:33,490 --> 02:13:35,594
Hancock, you are recognized

3999
02:13:35,594 --> 02:13:38,594
regarding the motion to amend

4000
02:13:39,664 --> 02:13:40,931
with Amendment 20. Thank you. I

4001
02:13:40,931 --> 02:13:42,199
just rise in support of this

4002
02:13:42,199 --> 02:13:43,701
amendment. I think that

4003
02:13:43,701 --> 02:13:45,836
allowing up to 12 different

4004
02:13:45,836 --> 02:13:46,604
uses is plenty in this area,

4005
02:13:46,604 --> 02:13:47,404
and I think it

4006
02:13:47,404 --> 02:13:49,340
s very generous.

4007
02:13:49,340 --> 02:13:51,275
Thank you. Ok, um, MR. Coupin,

4008
02:13:51,275 --> 02:13:52,343
go ahead, sir. Thank you, MADAM

4009
02:13:52,343 --> 02:13:53,477
PRESIDENT. I appreciate my

4010
02:13:53,477 --> 02:13:54,144
colleague bringing this very

4011
02:13:54,144 --> 02:13:54,511
supportive of this amendment,

4012
02:13:54,511 --> 02:13:55,412
took some work

4013
02:13:55,412 --> 02:13:56,247
to get there and really

4014
02:13:56,247 --> 02:13:57,849
appreciate everyone that worked

4015
02:13:57,849 --> 02:13:58,849
on it and uh very supportive.

4016
02:13:58,849 --> 02:13:59,918
All right, is there anyone else

4017
02:13:59,918 --> 02:14:02,318
seeking to be recognized

4018
02:14:02,953 --> 02:14:04,523
specifically on Amendment 20?

4019
02:14:04,523 --> 02:14:07,324
Ok, seeing none, uh, all in

4020
02:14:07,324 --> 02:14:09,260
favor, please say aye. Any

4021
02:14:09,260 --> 02:14:12,860
voting no or abstaining. Ok. Um,

4022
02:14:15,866 --> 02:14:16,868
Amendment, uh, 20 has passed.

4023
02:14:16,868 --> 02:14:18,602
MR. Coopin, um, is it your

4024
02:14:18,602 --> 02:14:19,838
intent to renew your motion to

4025
02:14:19,838 --> 02:14:22,238
approve as amended with

4026
02:14:22,706 --> 02:14:24,410
amendments 2356, and 20. He is

4027
02:14:24,410 --> 02:14:25,644
shaking his head yes, on we go,

4028
02:14:25,644 --> 02:14:26,845
MISTER Cap, go ahead. Oh, sorry,

4029
02:14:26,845 --> 02:14:29,280
sir, go ahead. Thank you, Vice

4030
02:14:29,280 --> 02:14:30,848
Mayor. Move Amendment 22. Ok,

4031
02:14:30,848 --> 02:14:31,650
Properly moved in 2 to go ahead.

4032
02:14:31,650 --> 02:14:32,250
Thank you, Vice Mayor. This has

4033
02:14:32,250 --> 02:14:33,217
been subject to

4034
02:14:33,217 --> 02:14:33,651
a lot of discussion in

4035
02:14:33,651 --> 02:14:34,285
committee. We

4036
02:14:34,285 --> 02:14:35,487
ve had several

4037
02:14:35,487 --> 02:14:37,822
committee meetings about this.

4038
02:14:37,822 --> 02:14:39,570
This relates to surface parking,

4039
02:14:39,570 --> 02:14:40,292
um, in the original proposal,

4040
02:14:40,292 --> 02:14:42,794
surface parking would have been

4041
02:14:42,794 --> 02:14:44,596
allowed by right in the whole

4042
02:14:44,596 --> 02:14:46,596
subdistrict, um

4043
02:14:47,631 --> 02:14:49,900
we have got to build the East

4044
02:14:49,900 --> 02:14:50,902
Bank in a way that is uh not

4045
02:14:50,902 --> 02:14:51,436
car centric. We, um, we

4046
02:14:51,436 --> 02:14:53,204
ll be

4047
02:14:53,204 --> 02:14:53,804
making a once in a century

4048
02:14:53,804 --> 02:14:55,640
mistake.

4049
02:14:55,640 --> 02:14:56,774
If we induce a century

4050
02:14:56,774 --> 02:14:58,610
s worth

4051
02:14:58,610 --> 02:15:00,110
of car traffic into this area

4052
02:15:00,110 --> 02:15:01,279
to come through East Nashville.

4053
02:15:01,279 --> 02:15:03,414
We all know that we can do

4054
02:15:03,414 --> 02:15:04,817
better to build it for walking,

4055
02:15:04,817 --> 02:15:06,618
active transportation, and

4056
02:15:06,618 --> 02:15:08,153
transit. This is an important

4057
02:15:08,153 --> 02:15:11,153
step in that direction. It

4058
02:15:11,456 --> 02:15:13,925
allows surface parking as a

4059
02:15:13,925 --> 02:15:15,961
temporary permitted use for 5

4060
02:15:15,961 --> 02:15:17,950
years, those permits lasting

4061
02:15:17,950 --> 02:15:20,695
for one year and renewable for

4062
02:15:21,934 --> 02:15:24,469
that time and it limits 20% of

4063
02:15:24,469 --> 02:15:26,136
the site um limits that use to

4064
02:15:26,136 --> 02:15:28,173
uh overall 20% of the site

4065
02:15:28,173 --> 02:15:28,673
to help us get to the place

4066
02:15:28,673 --> 02:15:29,374
where uh we

4067
02:15:29,374 --> 02:15:31,774
ve built out our

4068
02:15:31,910 --> 02:15:33,578
infrastructure and so I um ask

4069
02:15:33,578 --> 02:15:34,946
your support and, and thank you

4070
02:15:34,946 --> 02:15:36,448
uh for that. All right, um,

4071
02:15:36,448 --> 02:15:36,816
there is a motion to amend, uh,

4072
02:15:36,816 --> 02:15:38,617
with MR. Capp

4073
02:15:38,617 --> 02:15:38,783
s Amendment 22.

4074
02:15:38,783 --> 02:15:39,918
You

4075
02:15:39,918 --> 02:15:41,586
ve heard an explanation. It

4076
02:15:41,586 --> 02:15:43,822
was properly seconded. Is there

4077
02:15:43,822 --> 02:15:46,325
anyone seeking to be recognized

4078
02:15:46,325 --> 02:15:47,759
specifically on Amendment 22,

4079
02:15:47,759 --> 02:15:48,960
um, uh, councilmember Dreel, uh,

4080
02:15:48,960 --> 02:15:50,328
you are recognized, sir. Uh,

4081
02:15:50,328 --> 02:15:52,631
yeah, thanks, Sher. Do we have

4082
02:15:52,631 --> 02:15:56,670
an idea of how many total

4083
02:15:56,670 --> 02:15:57,135
parking spots the

4084
02:15:57,135 --> 02:15:59,135
entire development will

4085
02:15:59,705 --> 02:16:00,872
encompass. Um, do you want to

4086
02:16:00,872 --> 02:16:01,773
address that to MR. Capp? Yes,

4087
02:16:01,773 --> 02:16:03,208
ok, go ahead, sir. Sure, I

4088
02:16:03,208 --> 02:16:05,608
think the traffic engineer

4089
02:16:06,512 --> 02:16:08,380
estimate about 100 or 120

4090
02:16:08,380 --> 02:16:10,248
parking spots per acre of

4091
02:16:10,248 --> 02:16:12,884
surface parking, and so this is

4092
02:16:12,884 --> 02:16:15,540
a 47 acre site, roughly 20% of

4093
02:16:15,540 --> 02:16:15,754
it gets you to about 1000 cars.

4094
02:16:15,754 --> 02:16:16,388
All right, MR. Drrefel, does

4095
02:16:16,388 --> 02:16:17,790
that answer your question?

4096
02:16:17,790 --> 02:16:19,958
Thanks very much. Yes, ok, um,

4097
02:16:19,958 --> 02:16:20,659
MR. Coopin on Amendment 22,

4098
02:16:20,659 --> 02:16:21,126
thank you, MADAM PRESIDENT. I

4099
02:16:21,126 --> 02:16:21,359
just want to say I

4100
02:16:21,359 --> 02:16:21,927
m very

4101
02:16:21,927 --> 02:16:23,695
supportive of this and

4102
02:16:23,695 --> 02:16:25,497
appreciate it being brought. Ok.

4103
02:16:25,497 --> 02:16:26,264
Anyone else seeking to be

4104
02:16:26,264 --> 02:16:28,264
recognized specifically on

4105
02:16:29,402 --> 02:16:30,569
Amendment 22.

4106
02:16:30,569 --> 02:16:32,637
Seeing none, all in favor,

4107
02:16:32,637 --> 02:16:34,440
please say aye. Any voting no,

4108
02:16:34,440 --> 02:16:35,840
any abstaining. All right, uh,

4109
02:16:35,840 --> 02:16:37,175
MR. Coopin, is it your intent

4110
02:16:37,175 --> 02:16:40,775
to renew your motion to approve

4111
02:16:41,180 --> 02:16:43,515
as amended with amendments 2356,

4112
02:16:43,515 --> 02:16:45,915
20, and 22, shaking his head

4113
02:16:46,252 --> 02:16:47,686

4119
02:16:56,394 --> 02:16:57,964
Thank you, Vice Mayor. This

4120
02:16:57,964 --> 02:16:59,432
requires um a multimodal trans

4121
02:16:59,432 --> 02:17:01,234
port ation analysis to be done

4122
02:17:01,234 --> 02:17:04,670
by ido by the end of the next

4123
02:17:04,670 --> 02:17:07,205
fiscal year. So, you know, JUNE

4124
02:17:07,205 --> 02:17:08,440
2027, end of JUNE, um, for the

4125
02:17:08,440 --> 02:17:10,108
entire site, this is something

4126
02:17:10,108 --> 02:17:11,844
that we, um, this sort of a new

4127
02:17:11,844 --> 02:17:12,345
policy departure for us at

4128
02:17:12,345 --> 02:17:13,278
Metro, but it

4129
02:17:13,278 --> 02:17:15,414
s related to our

4130
02:17:15,414 --> 02:17:17,149
goals of building this um, you

4131
02:17:17,149 --> 02:17:18,284
know, 4 people, um, a

4132
02:17:18,284 --> 02:17:18,651
neighborhood that

4133
02:17:18,651 --> 02:17:20,190
s active and

4134
02:17:20,190 --> 02:17:21,753
walkable and so this directs

4135
02:17:21,753 --> 02:17:23,188
Indo to do those studies with

4136
02:17:23,188 --> 02:17:24,323
that in mind and it also

4137
02:17:24,323 --> 02:17:25,724
requires those to be renewed

4138
02:17:25,724 --> 02:17:27,326
every 5 years so that we can

4139
02:17:27,326 --> 02:17:28,661
keep our data up to date and

4140
02:17:28,661 --> 02:17:30,630
keep our

4141
02:17:30,630 --> 02:17:31,497
analysis rigorous as we are,

4142
02:17:31,497 --> 02:17:33,310
you know, sort of building out

4143
02:17:33,310 --> 02:17:33,933
this site over years and

4144
02:17:33,933 --> 02:17:34,633
decades, uh, so I

PRESIDENT. Friendly amendment.

Ok, thank you for sharing that.

4160
02:17:56,756 --> 02:17:58,523
Anyone else that can be

4161
02:17:58,523 --> 02:17:59,559
recognized on Amendment 23.

4162
02:17:59,559 --> 02:18:01,727

4166
02:18:07,800 --> 02:18:09,800
Uh, MR.

4167
02:18:11,837 --> 02:18:13,239
Coin, um, uh, do you wish to

4168
02:18:13,239 --> 02:18:14,640

02:18:18,977 --> 02:18:20,977
amendments 2356, 2022, and 23.

02:18:21,314 --> 02:18:22,648
He does, um, uh, on we go, MR.

4172
02:18:22,648 --> 02:18:23,416
Capp, you still have the floor.

4173
02:18:23,416 --> 02:18:25,417
Thank you, Vice Mayor. Move

4174
02:18:25,417 --> 02:18:26,685
Amendment 24.

4175
02:18:26,685 --> 02:18:28,821
Properly moved and seconded,

4176
02:18:28,821 --> 02:18:30,990
would anything you want to

4177
02:18:30,990 --> 02:18:32,758
explain about Amendment 24. Yes,

4178
02:18:32,758 --> 02:18:32,958
Vice Mayor, thank you. Um,

4179
02:18:32,958 --> 02:18:34,360
there

4180
02:18:34,360 --> 02:18:35,228
s a, a sort of a, a

4181
02:18:35,228 --> 02:18:35,661
building on this site that

4182
02:18:35,661 --> 02:18:37,163
s

4183
02:18:37,163 --> 02:18:39,497
entitled to a bonus height, um,

4184
02:18:39,497 --> 02:18:41,868
if it achieves an exceptional

4185
02:18:41,868 --> 02:18:44,868
design, the definition of that

4186
02:18:45,637 --> 02:18:47,506
um was not particularly

4187
02:18:47,506 --> 02:18:47,974
exceptional in my view. And so

4188
02:18:47,974 --> 02:18:48,808
I think if we

4189
02:18:48,808 --> 02:18:51,143
re doing this we

4190
02:18:51,143 --> 02:18:53,543
should be requiring genuinely

4191
02:18:54,447 --> 02:18:56,447
uplifting, um, civically

4192
02:18:56,615 --> 02:18:58,284
meaningful architecture, um, to

4193
02:18:58,284 --> 02:18:58,818
be reviewed by whatever design

4194
02:18:58,818 --> 02:18:59,352
review committee

4195
02:18:59,352 --> 02:19:00,520
is in place. I hope it

4196
02:19:00,520 --> 02:19:01,870
s the

4197
02:19:01,870 --> 02:19:02,555
East Side Design Review

4198
02:19:02,555 --> 02:19:04,157
Committee as uh brought forth

4199
02:19:04,157 --> 02:19:05,291
by my colleague to the North,

4200
02:19:05,291 --> 02:19:06,925
um, but this just makes that

4201
02:19:06,925 --> 02:19:09,950
definition uh more stringent

4202
02:19:09,950 --> 02:19:10,229
and robust, and so I asked your

4203
02:19:10,229 --> 02:19:11,664
support and thank you. All

4204
02:19:11,664 --> 02:19:13,798
right, um, there is a motion to

4205
02:19:13,798 --> 02:19:14,268
amend, uh, with Amendment 24 by

4206
02:19:14,268 --> 02:19:14,668
MR. Cap, you

4207
02:19:14,668 --> 02:19:16,668
ve heard an

4208
02:19:16,836 --> 02:19:17,690
explanation of that amendment.

4209
02:19:17,690 --> 02:19:17,803
Um, we

4210
02:19:17,803 --> 02:19:20,803
re on to discussion of

4211
02:19:20,806 --> 02:19:23,441
the motion to amend, um, is

4212
02:19:23,441 --> 02:19:24,677
anyone seeking to be recognized

4213
02:19:24,677 --> 02:19:26,120
for purposes of discussion on

4214
02:19:26,120 --> 02:19:27,380
this amendment aside from the

4215
02:19:27,380 --> 02:19:28,147
primary sponsor who I believe

4216
02:19:28,147 --> 02:19:29,480
is going to express

4217
02:19:29,480 --> 02:19:29,814
it is a friendly amendment. Go

4218
02:19:29,814 --> 02:19:30,882
ahead, sir. Could you use I

4219
02:19:30,882 --> 02:19:31,784
could use a hand signal for

4220
02:19:31,784 --> 02:19:32,585
friendly amendment as well, but

4221
02:19:32,585 --> 02:19:33,251
yes, friendly amendment you can

02:19:33,251 --> 02:19:33,586

what we can do there. Um, ok,

02:19:37,256 --> 02:19:37,590
uh, uh, you can like fist pump

4227
02:19:37,590 --> 02:19:38,124

4228
02:19:38,124 --> 02:19:39,570

4230
02:19:39,425 --> 02:19:41,260
cue that it

else seeking to be recognized

4236
02:19:54,740 --> 02:19:55,641
um on that amendment.

4237
02:19:55,641 --> 02:19:58,578
Seeing none, all in favor,

4238
02:19:58,578 --> 02:20:00,813
please say aye. Any voting no

4239
02:20:00,813 --> 02:20:02,582
or abstaining. All right, um,

4240
02:20:02,582 --> 02:20:04,749
MR. Coupin, uh, do you wish to

renew your motion to amend, uh,

4242
02:20:06,419 --> 02:20:07,587
or rather to approve as amended

4243
02:20:07,587 --> 02:20:08,188
up to this point. We

4244
02:20:08,188 --> 02:20:10,880
ve added

4245
02:20:10,880 --> 02:20:11,624
24. Ok. Go on then. MR. Cap,

4246
02:20:11,624 --> 02:20:13,860
you still have, uh, the floor,

4247
02:20:13,860 --> 02:20:15,429
sir. Thank you, Vice Mayor.

4248
02:20:15,429 --> 02:20:17,463
Move Amendment 25. All right,

4249
02:20:17,463 --> 02:20:19,197
is there a second? Properly

4250
02:20:19,197 --> 02:20:20,660
moved and seconded. Um, go

4251
02:20:20,660 --> 02:20:22,268
ahead, sir. Thank you, Vice

4252
02:20:22,268 --> 02:20:23,636
Mayor. As you all know, the

4253
02:20:23,636 --> 02:20:24,437
downtown code has different use

4254
02:20:24,437 --> 02:20:26,437
areas. The

4255
02:20:28,442 --> 02:20:30,743
East use area has a stadium

4256
02:20:30,743 --> 02:20:32,812
arena use and the use table um

4257
02:20:32,812 --> 02:20:34,146
this amendment removes that

4258
02:20:34,146 --> 02:20:36,449
from the use table for this

4259
02:20:36,449 --> 02:20:37,683
subdistrict, and I ask your

4260
02:20:37,683 --> 02:20:38,117
support. All right, there

4261
02:20:38,117 --> 02:20:40,117
s a

4262
02:20:40,119 --> 02:20:40,253
motion to amend with MR. Capp

4263
02:20:40,253 --> 02:20:41,921
s

4264
02:20:41,921 --> 02:20:43,220
Amendment 25. It is properly

4265
02:20:43,220 --> 02:20:44,357
seconded, and you

4266
02:20:44,357 --> 02:20:45,959
ve heard an

4267
02:20:45,959 --> 02:20:47,526
explanation of that amendment.

4268
02:20:47,526 --> 02:20:48,962
We are on to discussion on that

4269
02:20:48,962 --> 02:20:51,197
motion to amend. Does anyone

4270
02:20:51,197 --> 02:20:53,766
seek to be recognized um on

4271
02:20:53,766 --> 02:20:54,367
Amendment 25. If you do, given

4272
02:20:54,367 --> 02:20:55,501
that

4273
02:20:55,501 --> 02:20:58,700
there are others in the queue

4274
02:20:58,700 --> 02:21:01,670
for, um, please raise your hand.

4275
02:21:02,808 --> 02:21:03,743
Ok? Um, MS. Hancock, you are

4276
02:21:03,743 --> 02:21:05,478
recognized.

4277
02:21:05,478 --> 02:21:07,880
I thank you for recognizing me.

4278
02:21:07,880 --> 02:21:09,849
So this is the only amendment

4279
02:21:09,849 --> 02:21:11,817
that the committee passed that

4280
02:21:11,817 --> 02:21:12,151
I am not in favor of, and I

4281
02:21:12,151 --> 02:21:12,985
know that I

4282
02:21:12,985 --> 02:21:14,554
m in the minority,

4283
02:21:14,554 --> 02:21:16,122
but I just want to speak my

4284
02:21:16,122 --> 02:21:18,457
piece about it. I believe that

4285
02:21:18,457 --> 02:21:19,659
if we did ever have a stadium

4286
02:21:19,659 --> 02:21:23,129
or arena, it would still be

4287
02:21:23,129 --> 02:21:23,596
below the 24 to 40 story Mac so

4288
02:21:23,596 --> 02:21:24,664
it wouldn

4289
02:21:24,664 --> 02:21:25,799
t impact the height,

4290
02:21:25,799 --> 02:21:27,800
and right now we have the

4291
02:21:27,800 --> 02:21:29,735
Titans Stadium, which they have

4292
02:21:29,735 --> 02:21:31,237
17 regular season games a year,

4293
02:21:31,237 --> 02:21:31,704
which half of those are at home,

4294
02:21:31,704 --> 02:21:32,805
so that

4295
02:21:32,805 --> 02:21:33,606
s 8 or 9 regular season

4296
02:21:33,606 --> 02:21:35,606
games

4297
02:21:36,642 --> 02:21:37,476
um, a total of a dozen games a

4298
02:21:37,476 --> 02:21:38,511
year. That

4299
02:21:38,511 --> 02:21:40,146
s one day, you know,

4300
02:21:40,146 --> 02:21:41,614
12 days out of the entire year,

4301
02:21:41,614 --> 02:21:42,983
I think that if we had another

4302
02:21:42,983 --> 02:21:45,218
stadium and a former council

4303
02:21:45,218 --> 02:21:45,651
member Van Reese just announced

4304
02:21:45,651 --> 02:21:46,519
professional women

4305
02:21:46,519 --> 02:21:47,987
s basketball

4306
02:21:47,987 --> 02:21:48,121
coming to Nashville, wouldn

4307
02:21:48,121 --> 02:21:49,288
t

4308
02:21:49,288 --> 02:21:50,556
that be really cool to have

4309
02:21:50,556 --> 02:21:51,657
that on the East Bank?

4310
02:21:51,657 --> 02:21:52,758
Or baseball, I know other

4311
02:21:52,758 --> 02:21:52,892
people have talked about that.

4312
02:21:52,892 --> 02:21:53,861
I

4313
02:21:53,861 --> 02:21:54,560
m not a big fan of either of

4314
02:21:54,560 --> 02:21:56,620
those sports, but I

4315
02:21:56,620 --> 02:21:58,300
m a big

4316
02:21:58,300 --> 02:21:58,198
sports proponent and I just

4317
02:21:58,198 --> 02:21:59,365
don

4318
02:21:59,365 --> 02:22:01,133
t like that restriction.

4319
02:22:01,133 --> 02:22:01,368
Thank you. All right, um, we

4320
02:22:01,368 --> 02:22:02,134

4321
02:22:02,134 --> 02:22:03,736
continuing discussion on the

4322
02:22:03,736 --> 02:22:05,338
motion to amend with Amendment

4323
02:22:05,338 --> 02:22:05,471

recognized. Thank you, MADAM

4326
02:22:10,743 --> 02:22:11,545
PRESIDENT. I, I echo both of

4327
02:22:11,545 --> 02:22:13,145
the sentiments that are shared.

4328
02:22:13,145 --> 02:22:14,580
I think that if we look at a

4329
02:22:14,580 --> 02:22:16,415
family friendly neighborhood,

4330
02:22:16,415 --> 02:22:17,160
um, a stadium if done correctly,

4331
02:22:17,160 --> 02:22:17,383
um, with women

4332
02:22:17,383 --> 02:22:18,451
s sports or

4333
02:22:18,451 --> 02:22:20,860
baseball or things like that

4334
02:22:20,860 --> 02:22:21,454
could become and and and is in

4335
02:22:21,454 --> 02:22:22,222
many other cities an anchor for

4336
02:22:22,222 --> 02:22:23,289
a phenomenal

4337
02:22:23,289 --> 02:22:24,958
family friendly neighborhood,

4338
02:22:24,958 --> 02:22:25,825
um, that being said, um, any

4339
02:22:25,825 --> 02:22:26,250
conversation around that,

4340
02:22:26,250 --> 02:22:27,270
there

4341
02:22:27,270 --> 02:22:28,600
s nothing on the table

4342
02:22:28,600 --> 02:22:29,563
and any conversation around

4343
02:22:29,563 --> 02:22:31,130
that would need robust

4344
02:22:31,130 --> 02:22:31,932
community engagement and and

4345
02:22:31,932 --> 02:22:32,633
conversations and things like

4346
02:22:32,633 --> 02:22:33,650
that, um, so I

4347
02:22:33,650 --> 02:22:34,433

4348
02:22:34,433 --> 02:22:35,801

um, this use restriction, so

4350
02:22:35,936 --> 02:22:37,738

02:22:37,738 --> 02:22:39,572

amendments as well, but when it

02:23:41,434 --> 02:23:43,269
fronts active in that parking

4392
02:23:43,269 --> 02:23:44,704
sort of invisible from the

4393
02:23:44,704 --> 02:23:46,672
public around their

4394
02:23:46,672 --> 02:23:46,973

CHAIRMAN, uh, I would just like

4417
02:24:26,779 --> 02:24:28,114
an explanation of what a liner

4418
02:24:28,114 --> 02:24:29,449
looks like is. Would you like

4419
02:24:29,449 --> 02:24:30,349

02:24:31,250 --> 02:24:31,651
you for the question. It

s just,

4423
02:24:32,985 --> 02:24:34,220
um, you know, like a retail

4424
02:24:34,220 --> 02:24:36,589
frontage, you know, instead of

4425
02:24:36,589 --> 02:24:36,889
looking at a structured parking

4426
02:24:36,889 --> 02:24:37,524
garage you

4427
02:24:37,524 --> 02:24:39,580

some kind of active street

4430
02:24:43,396 --> 02:24:43,596
front use.

4431
02:24:43,596 --> 02:24:44,897
There

4432
02:24:44,897 --> 02:24:45,131
s parking behind it, but

4433
02:24:45,131 --> 02:24:45,998
if you

4434
02:24:45,998 --> 02:24:47,660
re looking at it from

4435
02:24:47,660 --> 02:24:48,534
the street, it just looks like

4436
02:24:48,534 --> 02:24:48,868
an active street front so it

4437
02:24:48,868 --> 02:24:49,502
s,

4438
02:24:49,502 --> 02:24:50,670
you know, it

4439
02:24:50,670 --> 02:24:50,837
s pro walkable,

4440
02:24:50,837 --> 02:24:52,405
it

4441
02:24:52,405 --> 02:24:53,439
s good for active

4442
02:24:53,439 --> 02:24:54,574
neighborhoods, and it

4443
02:24:54,574 --> 02:24:55,374
s um

4444
02:24:55,374 --> 02:24:56,442
you know, good to activate the

4445
02:24:56,442 --> 02:24:57,310
street front is what is what a

4446
02:24:57,310 --> 02:24:59,310
liner is.

4447
02:25:02,482 --> 02:25:03,583
MR. Nash, is that address

4448
02:25:03,583 --> 02:25:04,884

02:25:06,586 --> 02:25:08,589
PRESIDENT. A good example of

4452
02:25:08,589 --> 02:25:09,456
the liner is um in the gulch,

4453
02:25:09,456 --> 02:25:10,457
for example, there are parking

4454
02:25:10,457 --> 02:25:11,859
garages that then have

4455
02:25:11,859 --> 02:25:13,920
activated uses along the

4456
02:25:13,920 --> 02:25:14,528
sidewalk, um, that wrapped them

4457
02:25:14,528 --> 02:25:16,829

4475
02:25:51,431 --> 02:25:52,798

4476
02:25:52,798 --> 02:25:54,735
Mayor. I ask my colleagues to

4477
02:25:54,735 --> 02:25:56,737
allow a suspension of the rules

4478
02:25:56,737 --> 02:25:58,205

4480
02:25:59,839 --> 02:26:02,239
Ok. Late filed Amendment 1,

4481
02:26:02,542 --> 02:26:04,612
which was taken up in a

4482
02:26:04,612 --> 02:26:06,312
committee. Is there any

4483
02:26:06,312 --> 02:26:09,312
objection to the suspension of

4484
02:26:09,682 --> 02:26:09,916
the rules to take up MR. Capp

4485
02:26:09,916 --> 02:26:11,685
s

4486
02:26:11,685 --> 02:26:13,685
late filed Amendment 1.

4487
02:26:14,421 --> 02:26:16,880
Ok, seeing none, um, the rules

4488
02:26:16,880 --> 02:26:17,357
are suspended. Uh, go ahead, MR.

4489
02:26:17,357 --> 02:26:19,293
Cat. I really appreciate that,

4490
02:26:19,293 --> 02:26:20,727
colleagues. Thank you. This is

4491
02:26:20,727 --> 02:26:21,127
an important amendment and it

4492
02:26:21,127 --> 02:26:22,729
s,

4493
02:26:22,729 --> 02:26:26,660
I can explain the late filed

4494
02:26:26,660 --> 02:26:28,201
nature. I had originally filed

4495
02:26:28,201 --> 02:26:29,436
for the last meeting and a

4496
02:26:29,436 --> 02:26:30,837
requirement that buildings that

4497
02:26:30,837 --> 02:26:32,172
were not housing had to have

4498
02:26:32,172 --> 02:26:33,730
their parking underground. That

4499
02:26:33,730 --> 02:26:33,407
is something that we

4500
02:26:33,407 --> 02:26:34,841
ve sort of

4501
02:26:34,841 --> 02:26:36,900
committed to in the East Bank

4502
02:26:36,900 --> 02:26:37,878
generally, and I wanted to

4503
02:26:37,878 --> 02:26:39,179
apply that standard here as

4504
02:26:39,179 --> 02:26:40,314
well, but through discussions

4505
02:26:40,314 --> 02:26:43,116
with planning and the water

4506
02:26:43,116 --> 02:26:44,170
department,

4507
02:26:44,170 --> 02:26:45,786
uh, some of this site is in the

4508
02:26:45,786 --> 02:26:45,953
100 year flood plain and so

4509
02:26:45,953 --> 02:26:47,821
it

4510
02:26:47,821 --> 02:26:49,256
s uh inadvisable for obvious

4511
02:26:49,256 --> 02:26:50,490
reasons to not go underground

4512
02:26:50,490 --> 02:26:52,459
with your parking in the 100

4513
02:26:52,459 --> 02:26:53,760
year flood plain. This new uh

4514
02:26:53,760 --> 02:26:55,620
version of the amendment makes

4515
02:26:55,620 --> 02:26:56,830
a requirement for underground

4516
02:26:56,830 --> 02:26:58,999
parking unless a majority of a

4517
02:26:58,999 --> 02:27:01,340
building is in the 100 year

4518
02:27:01,340 --> 02:27:02,502
floodplain, and that sort of,

4519
02:27:02,502 --> 02:27:04,972
you know, makes it uh

4520
02:27:04,972 --> 02:27:08,342
responsible as well, so I ask

4521
02:27:08,342 --> 02:27:10,742
your approval. Thank you.

4522
02:27:11,645 --> 02:27:13,280
Ok, there is a, uh, motion to

4523
02:27:13,280 --> 02:27:16,280
amend, uh, with late filed

4524
02:27:17,117 --> 02:27:18,850
amendment number one, by MR.

4525
02:27:18,850 --> 02:27:18,685
Cap. Uh, you

4526
02:27:18,685 --> 02:27:20,685
ve heard that

4527
02:27:21,255 --> 02:27:23,357
explained, um, uh, is there a

4528
02:27:23,357 --> 02:27:24,892
second? Ok, properly moved and

4529
02:27:24,892 --> 02:27:26,126
seconded, we are on to

4530
02:27:26,126 --> 02:27:28,161
discussion about late filed

4531
02:27:28,161 --> 02:27:29,830
Amendment 1. Is anyone seeking

4532
02:27:29,830 --> 02:27:31,980
to be recognized on that motion

4533
02:27:31,980 --> 02:27:33,330
to amend, if you would please

4534
02:27:33,330 --> 02:27:34,368
raise your hands. Anybody other

4535
02:27:34,368 --> 02:27:35,836
than primary sponsor Coupin. Go

4536
02:27:35,836 --> 02:27:37,271
ahead, sir. Friendly amendment.

4537
02:27:37,271 --> 02:27:39,506
All right, good to know.

4538
02:27:39,506 --> 02:27:41,506
Any further discussion

4539
02:27:41,575 --> 02:27:44,411
ok, seeing none, all in favor,

4540
02:27:44,411 --> 02:27:47,948
please say aye. Any voting no

4541
02:27:47,948 --> 02:27:51,548
or abstaining. Ok. Um, so, uh,

4542
02:27:52,786 --> 02:27:54,655
late filed Amendment 1 has

4543
02:27:54,655 --> 02:27:55,756
passed, um, MR. Coupin, is it

4544
02:27:55,756 --> 02:27:57,559
your intent to renew your

4545
02:27:57,559 --> 02:27:59,326
motion to approve, uh, as

4546
02:27:59,326 --> 02:28:00,727
amended now with late filed

4547
02:28:00,727 --> 02:28:02,162
Amendment 1 having been added,

4548
02:28:02,162 --> 02:28:03,564
he is shaking and said yes, and

4549
02:28:03,564 --> 02:28:04,998
so on we go, MR. Cap, um, you

02:28:04,998 --> 02:28:05,832
are recognized again, sir.

4551
02:28:05,832 --> 02:28:07,267
Thank you, Vice Mayor and

4552
02:28:07,267 --> 02:28:09,303
friends. This is my last one

4553
02:28:09,303 --> 02:28:10,904
for the evening. I ask a

4554
02:28:10,904 --> 02:28:11,872
suspension of the rules for the

4555
02:28:11,872 --> 02:28:14,141
consideration of late filed

4556
02:28:14,141 --> 02:28:15,642
Amendment number 2. All right,

4557
02:28:15,642 --> 02:28:16,843
um, this amendment was taken up

4558
02:28:16,843 --> 02:28:18,812
in planning and zoning

4559
02:28:18,812 --> 02:28:20,147
committee, um, where it

4560
02:28:20,147 --> 02:28:21,949
received a recommendation. You

4561
02:28:21,949 --> 02:28:24,949
heard that from a sponsor,

4562
02:28:26,587 --> 02:28:28,489
Horton, uh, knowing that, is

4563
02:28:28,489 --> 02:28:30,191
there any objection, for

4564
02:28:30,191 --> 02:28:31,792
suspension of the rules.

4565
02:28:31,792 --> 02:28:33,193
Seeing none, the rules are

4566
02:28:33,193 --> 02:28:34,795
suspended. Go ahead, you MAY

4567
02:28:34,795 --> 02:28:35,963
offer this amendment. Thank you,

4568
02:28:35,963 --> 02:28:37,640
Vice Mayor. This is a slightly

4569
02:28:37,640 --> 02:28:38,832
modified version of an

4570
02:28:38,832 --> 02:28:40,334
amendment that was before us

4571
02:28:40,334 --> 02:28:41,501
last time and was recommended

4572
02:28:41,501 --> 02:28:42,736
in if you would, sir, please

4573
02:28:42,736 --> 02:28:43,670
move the amendment. Yes, Vice

4574
02:28:43,670 --> 02:28:45,272
Mayor, thank you. I move

4575
02:28:45,272 --> 02:28:45,572
approval of late Bob 2. It

4576
02:28:45,572 --> 02:28:46,506
s

4577
02:28:46,506 --> 02:28:48,375
properly seconded. Go ahead,

4578
02:28:48,375 --> 02:28:49,810
sir. Go ahead. Thank you. This

4579
02:28:49,810 --> 02:28:51,745
was something that we

4580
02:28:51,745 --> 02:28:54,381
considered, uh, for the last

4581
02:28:54,381 --> 02:28:57,840
meeting and it was recommended

4582
02:28:57,840 --> 02:29:00,840
by the committee, but through

4583
02:29:00,454 --> 02:29:02,155
discussion with planning, um

4584
02:29:02,155 --> 02:29:03,390
I have uh brought forward an

4585
02:29:03,390 --> 02:29:03,790
amended version and that

4586
02:29:03,790 --> 02:29:05,459
s the

4587
02:29:05,459 --> 02:29:06,793
reason for the late filed

4588
02:29:06,793 --> 02:29:08,428
nature of this. The version

4589
02:29:08,428 --> 02:29:10,731
that I had brought required the

4590
02:29:10,731 --> 02:29:11,832
liner depths to be 30 ft, uh,

4591
02:29:11,832 --> 02:29:12,533
all the way up. There was a

4592
02:29:12,533 --> 02:29:14,501
requirement that they be a

4593
02:29:14,501 --> 02:29:16,637
minimum of 15 ft in the version

4594
02:29:16,637 --> 02:29:17,471
that just helps um them be, you

4595
02:29:17,471 --> 02:29:18,238
know, better for local

4596
02:29:18,238 --> 02:29:19,239
businesses, folks who are

4597
02:29:19,239 --> 02:29:20,841
starting up or might need

4598
02:29:20,841 --> 02:29:23,176
storage on the site to be able

4599
02:29:23,176 --> 02:29:23,944
to operate in that space but

4600
02:29:23,944 --> 02:29:25,779
through discussion with

4601
02:29:25,779 --> 02:29:27,414
planning about some of the

4602
02:29:27,414 --> 02:29:28,916
technical components of this,

4603
02:29:28,916 --> 02:29:30,250
my primary, uh, interest

4604
02:29:30,250 --> 02:29:33,620
and concern had been at the

4605
02:29:33,620 --> 02:29:34,888
ground level wanting those

4606
02:29:34,888 --> 02:29:36,757
active street frontages on the

4607
02:29:36,757 --> 02:29:37,824
sidewalks, but higher than that,

4608
02:29:37,824 --> 02:29:39,493
there might be a need for

4609
02:29:39,493 --> 02:29:40,827
flexibility to get utilities,

4610
02:29:40,827 --> 02:29:42,950
stairwells, and so forth, like

4611
02:29:42,950 --> 02:29:43,330
the sort of the innards of the

4612
02:29:43,330 --> 02:29:44,731
building to work more

4613
02:29:44,731 --> 02:29:46,533
functionally and so this late

4614
02:29:46,533 --> 02:29:48,100
filed amendment requires at the

4615
02:29:48,100 --> 02:29:50,204
ground level a liner to be a

4616
02:29:50,204 --> 02:29:52,207
minimum of 25 ft deep, but only

4617
02:29:52,207 --> 02:29:53,675
15 ft above that and with that

4618
02:29:53,675 --> 02:29:56,343
I ask your approval and thank

4619
02:29:56,343 --> 02:29:58,612
you, colleagues. All right, um,

4620
02:29:58,612 --> 02:29:58,779
there is a motion to amend, uh,

4621
02:29:58,779 --> 02:30:00,214
with

4622
02:30:00,214 --> 02:30:01,648
late filed amendment number 2

4623
02:30:01,648 --> 02:30:04,648
by COUNCILMAN Capp, and you

4624
02:30:04,751 --> 02:30:07,751
have heard, uh, the explanation.

4625
02:30:09,560 --> 02:30:11,391
It was properly seconded. Is

4626
02:30:11,391 --> 02:30:13,930
there any discussion on this

4627
02:30:13,930 --> 02:30:14,610
amendment. Um, if so, please do

4628
02:30:14,610 --> 02:30:15,863
raise your hand.

4629
02:30:15,863 --> 02:30:17,497
Ok, MR. Coopin, thank you.

Friendly amendment. Ok, um, any

4631

Ok, cnn all in favor, please

4669
02:31:28,836 --> 02:31:31,104
uh for this site to be as safe

4670
02:31:31,104 --> 02:31:31,271
and accessible as possible. Um,

4671
02:31:31,271 --> 02:31:33,271
we

4672
02:31:34,410 --> 02:31:35,976
ve never scratched built in

4673
02:31:35,976 --> 02:31:38,178
Nashville a um development this

4674
02:31:38,178 --> 02:31:39,747
dense, um, this large, um, that

4675
02:31:39,747 --> 02:31:41,181
has zero street network to

4676
02:31:41,181 --> 02:31:42,216
begin with, even on the metro

4677
02:31:42,216 --> 02:31:43,718
portion of the East Bank, there

4678
02:31:43,718 --> 02:31:46,220
is something of a street grid

4679
02:31:46,220 --> 02:31:47,521
to begin with, so we know that

4680
02:31:47,521 --> 02:31:50,158
the major and collector street

4681
02:31:50,158 --> 02:31:51,392
plan

4682
02:31:51,392 --> 02:31:52,227
um process is going to be

4683
02:31:52,227 --> 02:31:53,561
extremely important to get

4684
02:31:53,561 --> 02:31:54,696
right and what this amendment

4685
02:31:54,696 --> 02:31:56,297
does is gives us a couple of

4686
02:31:56,297 --> 02:31:57,431
other touch points that being

4687
02:31:57,431 --> 02:31:59,100
recommendations from the

4688
02:31:59,100 --> 02:32:00,767
bicycle and pedestrian Advisory

4689
02:32:00,767 --> 02:32:02,604
Committee and the Vision Zero

4690
02:32:02,604 --> 02:32:03,971
Advisory commission or

4691
02:32:03,971 --> 02:32:04,137
committee, forgive me if I

4692
02:32:04,137 --> 02:32:05,105
can

4693
02:32:05,105 --> 02:32:07,740
t remember which is which.

4694
02:32:07,740 --> 02:32:09,210
Um, it also includes a few, um,

4695
02:32:09,210 --> 02:32:10,178
sort of parameters just for um

4696
02:32:10,178 --> 02:32:11,211
uh like for example it does

4697
02:32:11,211 --> 02:32:13,248
include a shot clock, so

4698
02:32:13,248 --> 02:32:14,681
neither of those entities could

4699
02:32:14,681 --> 02:32:15,783
just like fail to make a

4700
02:32:15,783 --> 02:32:17,500
recommendation and then that

4701
02:32:17,500 --> 02:32:18,190
hold it up from being approved

4702
02:32:18,190 --> 02:32:18,219
by planning.

4703
02:32:18,219 --> 02:32:19,553
There

4704
02:32:19,553 --> 02:32:20,755
s language in there that

4705
02:32:20,755 --> 02:32:22,755
um

4706
02:32:24,893 --> 02:32:26,995
it could also be successor orgs

4707
02:32:26,995 --> 02:32:29,297
to bpac and va. It should that

4708
02:32:29,297 --> 02:32:29,664
structurally be modified, um,

4709
02:32:29,664 --> 02:32:30,164
and if there

4710
02:32:30,164 --> 02:32:31,533
s not a successor

4711
02:32:31,533 --> 02:32:33,101
org identified, it falls back

4712
02:32:33,101 --> 02:32:34,168
on the charter mandated traffic

4713
02:32:34,168 --> 02:32:34,369
and parking commissions, so

4714
02:32:34,369 --> 02:32:35,300
there

4715
02:32:35,300 --> 02:32:36,704
s kind of always going to

4716
02:32:36,704 --> 02:32:37,972
be an entity that can, can, can

4717
02:32:37,972 --> 02:32:38,939
look at this in addition to the

4718
02:32:38,939 --> 02:32:40,842
planning commission and make a

4719
02:32:40,842 --> 02:32:41,142
recommendation so, um, I, I, I

4720
02:32:41,142 --> 02:32:41,808
believe it

4721
02:32:41,808 --> 02:32:43,378
s supported by the

4722
02:32:43,378 --> 02:32:44,612
the lead sponsor as well, um,

4723
02:32:44,612 --> 02:32:45,445
based on committee discussions,

4724
02:32:45,445 --> 02:32:46,281
and I would ask for colleagues

4725
02:32:46,281 --> 02:32:48,281
support.

4726
02:32:48,316 --> 02:32:51,840
All right, um, uh, there is a

4727
02:32:51,840 --> 02:32:53,287
motion, uh, to amend with

4728
02:32:53,287 --> 02:32:54,889
Amendment 15, uh, by council

4729
02:32:54,889 --> 02:32:57,889
member Parker. Uh, it is

4730
02:32:58,960 --> 02:33:00,595
properly seconded and you have

4731
02:33:00,595 --> 02:33:02,230
heard a description of that

4732
02:33:02,230 --> 02:33:04,265
amendment. We are on to

4733
02:33:04,265 --> 02:33:05,633
discussion on Amendment 15 if

4734
02:33:05,633 --> 02:33:06,734
you seek to be recognized for

4735
02:33:06,734 --> 02:33:07,969

re recognized. Thank you,

4740
02:33:12,240 --> 02:33:13,808
Vice Mayor. I can think of no

4741
02:33:13,808 --> 02:33:16,411
one on the body more qualified

4742
02:33:16,411 --> 02:33:18,112
to recommend a bicycle advisory

4743
02:33:18,112 --> 02:33:19,113
then COUNCILMAN Parker and I

4744
02:33:19,113 --> 02:33:20,782
support this amendment.

4745
02:33:20,782 --> 02:33:21,583

PRESIDENT. A huge thank you to

4750
02:33:24,986 --> 02:33:26,854
my colleague for bringing this.

4751
02:33:26,854 --> 02:33:27,255
Um, we heard, uh, Dot Dobbin

4752
02:33:27,255 --> 02:33:28,389
s

4753
02:33:28,389 --> 02:33:29,624
name invoked earlier as as well

4754
02:33:29,624 --> 02:33:32,624
as many others who have

4755
02:33:33,394 --> 02:33:33,561
perished on our roadways, and

4756
02:33:33,561 --> 02:33:33,895
it

4757
02:33:33,895 --> 02:33:34,629
s uh it

4758
02:33:34,629 --> 02:33:35,330
s something that

4759
02:33:35,330 --> 02:33:35,630
something weighs heavily on my

4760
02:33:35,630 --> 02:33:36,130
heart. I

4761
02:33:36,130 --> 02:33:37,165
ve talked to too many

4762
02:33:37,165 --> 02:33:37,899
families who have lost loved

4763
02:33:37,899 --> 02:33:38,633
ones, and so it

4764
02:33:38,633 --> 02:33:39,334
s incredibly

4765
02:33:39,334 --> 02:33:40,702
important to me that this

4766
02:33:40,702 --> 02:33:41,836
neighborhood, um, reaches

4767
02:33:41,836 --> 02:33:42,700
vision zero that we don

4768
02:33:42,700 --> 02:33:43,605
t have

4769
02:33:43,605 --> 02:33:44,639
pedestrian deaths on this, on

4770
02:33:44,639 --> 02:33:45,306
this site that we

4771
02:33:45,306 --> 02:33:46,407
re building,

4772
02:33:46,407 --> 02:33:47,876
um, so hugely supportive of

4773
02:33:47,876 --> 02:33:49,645
this very much appreciative of

4774
02:33:49,645 --> 02:33:50,678
multimodal, um, input, um, I

4775
02:33:50,678 --> 02:33:51,947
had, I had set up a meeting at

4776
02:33:51,947 --> 02:33:53,715
one point with um some of the

4777
02:33:53,715 --> 02:33:55,216
members of bpac and vsa with a

4778
02:33:55,216 --> 02:33:56,151
development team, um, to kind

4779
02:33:56,151 --> 02:33:57,685
of communicate the importance

4780
02:33:57,685 --> 02:33:59,870
of this, um, as they develop

4781
02:33:59,870 --> 02:34:00,555
their site and uh appreciate

4782
02:34:00,555 --> 02:34:02,323
that this will be codified as a

4783
02:34:02,323 --> 02:34:03,124
longer term process. So hugely

4784
02:34:03,124 --> 02:34:05,524
supportive and appreciative of

4785
02:34:06,227 --> 02:34:08,290
my colleague for bringing this.

02:34:08,290 --> 02:34:09,364
All right, um, is there any

4787
02:34:09,364 --> 02:34:10,899
further discussion on the

4788
02:34:10,899 --> 02:34:11,766
motion to amend with Amendment

4789
02:34:11,766 --> 02:34:13,668

4812
02:34:51,573 --> 02:34:52,273
motion in the midst of

4813
02:34:52,273 --> 02:34:53,374
discussion, the way that I

02:35:00,548 --> 02:35:01,716
motion to amend with Amendment

12 by Councilmember Benedict.

4823
02:35:03,718 --> 02:35:03,952
Is there a second?

4824
02:35:03,952 --> 02:35:04,886
Ok, it

4825
02:35:04,886 --> 02:35:05,453

am. Thank you, MADAM

4828
02:35:08,757 --> 02:35:10,225
Vice Mayor. So colleagues, this

4829
02:35:10,225 --> 02:35:10,359
adds a recital. Uh, it

4830
02:35:10,359 --> 02:35:12,293
s

4831
02:35:12,293 --> 02:35:15,293
non-binding, but as a recital

4832
02:35:15,363 --> 02:35:17,310
that encourages a developer in

4833
02:35:17,310 --> 02:35:18,199
the future to provide an urban

4834
02:35:18,199 --> 02:35:18,466
fire station. Um, we

4835
02:35:18,466 --> 02:35:19,868
ve talked

4836
02:35:19,868 --> 02:35:21,769
about this many times that we

4837
02:35:21,769 --> 02:35:23,400
have big buildings being built

4838
02:35:23,400 --> 02:35:25,506
all over the city, especially

4839
02:35:25,506 --> 02:35:27,976
in the downtown and now in this

4840
02:35:27,976 --> 02:35:29,577
um East Bend area and so we

4841
02:35:29,577 --> 02:35:31,579
need fire coverage for those

4842
02:35:31,579 --> 02:35:32,947
and other big cities we see

4843
02:35:32,947 --> 02:35:33,815
fire halls on the bottom of

4844
02:35:33,815 --> 02:35:34,916
buildings, so this is

4845
02:35:34,916 --> 02:35:36,500
to encourage that type of

4846
02:35:36,500 --> 02:35:37,252
development in the future, and

4847
02:35:37,252 --> 02:35:37,785
i ask for your support. All

4848
02:35:37,785 --> 02:35:39,587
right, um, there

4849
02:35:39,587 --> 02:35:41,589

4850
02:35:41,589 --> 02:35:41,756

4851
02:35:41,756 --> 02:35:43,910

4852
02:35:43,910 --> 02:35:44,792
ve heard a description, uh,

4853
02:35:44,792 --> 02:35:45,360
by the sponsor. It was properly

4854
02:35:45,360 --> 02:35:45,994
seconded and we

4855
02:35:45,994 --> 02:35:47,994
re on to

4856

design and infrastructure for

4929
02:37:45,447 --> 02:37:46,849
the East Bend. Um, it reaffirms

4930
02:37:46,849 --> 02:37:48,550
that the street design should

4931
02:37:48,550 --> 02:37:49,718

02:37:51,219 --> 02:37:52,688

4937
02:37:57,659 --> 02:37:59,930
of traffic deaths is 0. It also

4938
02:37:59,930 --> 02:38:00,662
requires a written report to

4939
02:38:00,662 --> 02:38:01,764

4940
02:38:01,764 --> 02:38:04,764

4943
02:38:08,970 --> 02:38:09,604

02:38:10,905 --> 02:38:12,905

This is the last amendment that

5087
02:42:44,446 --> 02:42:45,481

you have made the motion to

5096
02:42:57,693 --> 02:42:59,528
amend with Amendment 10 and i

5097
02:42:59,528 --> 02:43:00,996
believe I heard it seconded. Um,

5098
02:43:00,996 --> 02:43:02,532
is there anything you would

5099
02:43:02,532 --> 02:43:04,000
like to explain about Amendment

5100
02:43:04,000 --> 02:43:05,734
10, sir. Yes, thank you, MADAM

5101
02:43:05,734 --> 02:43:06,769
PRESIDENT, and this, uh, really

5102
02:43:06,769 --> 02:43:08,470
appreciate my colleague

5103
02:43:08,470 --> 02:43:11,808
bringing the idea of, of, um,

5104
02:43:11,808 --> 02:43:13,943
changing or changing the name

5105
02:43:13,943 --> 02:43:15,244
or or or adjusting the name of

5106
02:43:15,244 --> 02:43:16,245
the planning document, um, to

5107
02:43:16,245 --> 02:43:17,313
be clear, this is the planning

5108
02:43:17,313 --> 02:43:18,447
document itself. This is not

5109
02:43:18,447 --> 02:43:19,481
the project the project team

5110
02:43:19,481 --> 02:43:20,449
can do what they want,

5111
02:43:20,449 --> 02:43:22,849
obviously with their project,

5112
02:43:22,885 --> 02:43:25,540
but this is for our um downtown

5113
02:43:25,540 --> 02:43:25,621
code, um, to have it named

5114
02:43:25,621 --> 02:43:25,888
something and we

5115
02:43:25,888 --> 02:43:26,722
ve got

5116
02:43:26,722 --> 02:43:27,423
East Bank and East Point and

5117
02:43:27,423 --> 02:43:27,957
East Bend and there

5118
02:43:27,957 --> 02:43:28,424
s I

5119
02:43:28,424 --> 02:43:29,158
ve

5120
02:43:29,158 --> 02:43:29,291
members of the public, I

5121
02:43:29,291 --> 02:43:31,260
ve

5122
02:43:31,260 --> 02:43:32,228
watched get very confused, um,

5123
02:43:32,228 --> 02:43:33,620
with all of these different

5124
02:43:33,620 --> 02:43:34,396
terms, and I wanna make sure

5125
02:43:34,396 --> 02:43:36,699
that this has its own identity

5126
02:43:36,699 --> 02:43:37,900
and has its own um clear, clear

5127
02:43:37,900 --> 02:43:39,101
distinction, um, and I know I,

5128
02:43:39,101 --> 02:43:39,935
I went down this road and I

5129
02:43:39,935 --> 02:43:41,403
believe my colleague went down

5130
02:43:41,403 --> 02:43:42,371
this road as well, um, thinking

5131
02:43:42,371 --> 02:43:45,971
about what, what could we name

5132
02:43:46,643 --> 02:43:48,677
it, um, and I thought about

5133
02:43:48,677 --> 02:43:50,246
Guasoto Park, which is renamed

5134
02:43:50,246 --> 02:43:51,780
from Cumberland Park, Guota

5135
02:43:51,780 --> 02:43:54,284
being the Shawnee name meaning

5136
02:43:54,284 --> 02:43:55,217
meaning valley of the deer, uh,

5137
02:43:55,217 --> 02:43:56,518
regarding the Cumberland River

5138
02:43:56,518 --> 02:43:57,987
and so, um, given that that was

5139
02:43:57,987 --> 02:43:59,455
done and given that many folks

5140
02:43:59,455 --> 02:44:00,923
have now embraced that name,

5141
02:44:00,923 --> 02:44:02,491
and this is the bend of the

5142
02:44:02,491 --> 02:44:04,527
Cumberland River. Um, I felt it

5143
02:44:04,527 --> 02:44:06,462
fitting to rename the project,

5144
02:44:06,462 --> 02:44:07,930
um, rename the dtc at least uh

5145
02:44:07,930 --> 02:44:08,964
Wasoto Bend, um, so something

5146
02:44:08,964 --> 02:44:09,265
that I think is, is really

5147
02:44:09,265 --> 02:44:09,665
great. It

5148
02:44:09,665 --> 02:44:11,660
s a great way to

5149
02:44:11,660 --> 02:44:11,233
acknowledge the land that it

5150
02:44:11,233 --> 02:44:12,935
s

5151
02:44:12,935 --> 02:44:14,303
sitting on, um, and acknowledge,

5152
02:44:14,303 --> 02:44:15,571
um, again, this very distinct

5153
02:44:15,571 --> 02:44:16,939
effort of so many people have

5154
02:44:16,939 --> 02:44:19,909
taken so, so much time to make

5155
02:44:19,909 --> 02:44:21,677
this happen, and I think it

5156
02:44:21,677 --> 02:44:22,678
deserves its own identity. So I

5157
02:44:22,678 --> 02:44:24,413
ask my colleagues to support.

5158
02:44:24,413 --> 02:44:25,514
All right, um, so we are on to

5159
02:44:25,514 --> 02:44:27,449
discussion of the motion to

5160
02:44:27,449 --> 02:44:29,485

better because of it.

5223
02:46:32,374 --> 02:46:33,877
Um, I also wanna thank my

5224
02:46:33,877 --> 02:46:36,277
colleagues in the departmental

5225
02:46:37,480 --> 02:46:39,810
staff, especially council

5226
02:46:39,810 --> 02:46:39,215
members Coupin and Cap. I don

5227
02:46:39,215 --> 02:46:39,481
t

5228
02:46:39,481 --> 02:46:40,317
think we

5229
02:46:40,317 --> 02:46:41,784
d ever have the

5230
02:46:41,784 --> 02:46:44,200
opportunity to redevelop this

5231
02:46:44,200 --> 02:46:45,454
area and on the site and it

5232
02:46:45,454 --> 02:46:46,823
takes a massive amount of work

5233
02:46:46,823 --> 02:46:48,524
to do it. So because of the

5234
02:46:48,524 --> 02:46:50,293
scale of this though, I believe

5235
02:46:50,293 --> 02:46:50,460
this deserved as much work as

5236
02:46:50,460 --> 02:46:52,127
we

5237
02:46:52,127 --> 02:46:53,797
ve all put into it

5238
02:46:53,797 --> 02:46:55,465
Many of the concerns I heard

5239
02:46:55,465 --> 02:46:56,867
boiled down to one issue, and

5240
02:46:56,867 --> 02:46:58,268
that is that what we are being

5241
02:46:58,268 --> 02:46:59,870
promised is not in the bill in

5242
02:46:59,870 --> 02:47:01,438
front of us. We all heard that

5243
02:47:01,438 --> 02:47:02,839
30% of the private land would

5244
02:47:02,839 --> 02:47:03,373
be open to the public, but the

5245
02:47:03,373 --> 02:47:04,241
bill doesn

5246
02:47:04,241 --> 02:47:05,742
t outline how that

5247
02:47:05,742 --> 02:47:07,276
will happen, who will pay for

5248
02:47:07,276 --> 02:47:11,476
it, and when it will be paid

5249
02:47:11,648 --> 02:47:12,916
for. The development will

5250
02:47:12,916 --> 02:47:14,217
require upgrades to

5251
02:47:14,217 --> 02:47:16,217
infrastructure including

5252
02:47:16,253 --> 02:47:16,952
streets, sewer, and stormwater,

5253
02:47:16,952 --> 02:47:17,921
but those costs aren

5254
02:47:17,921 --> 02:47:19,522
t outlined,

5255
02:47:19,522 --> 02:47:21,224
including if our taxpayers will

5256
02:47:21,224 --> 02:47:21,825
cover them or if developers

5257
02:47:21,825 --> 02:47:23,159
will.

5258
02:47:23,159 --> 02:47:24,693
We often hear that our tax

5259
02:47:24,693 --> 02:47:25,495
dollars go downtown and

5260
02:47:25,495 --> 02:47:26,290
Nashvilleians don

5261
02:47:26,290 --> 02:47:27,297
t get the

5262
02:47:27,297 --> 02:47:28,632
services that they need in

5263
02:47:28,632 --> 02:47:28,798
their neighborhoods, and I

5264
02:47:28,798 --> 02:47:29,499
can

5265
02:47:29,499 --> 02:47:29,666
t tell you tonight if

5266
02:47:29,666 --> 02:47:30,901
you

5267
02:47:30,901 --> 02:47:31,340
ll pay for it or not.

5268
02:47:31,340 --> 02:47:32,269
I

5269
02:47:32,269 --> 02:47:33,169
m also frustrated that we

5270
02:47:33,169 --> 02:47:35,400
have the opportunity to

5271
02:47:35,400 --> 02:47:36,773
celebrate our rich civil rights

5272
02:47:36,773 --> 02:47:38,173
history, um, but we chose other

5273
02:47:38,173 --> 02:47:39,209
priorities and we do that

5274
02:47:39,209 --> 02:47:39,776
frequently. A children

5275
02:47:39,776 --> 02:47:40,744
s museum

5276
02:47:40,744 --> 02:47:41,510
is great, but I

5277
02:47:41,510 --> 02:47:43,510
m left again

5278
02:47:44,948 --> 02:47:45,815
with the question, when will

5279
02:47:45,815 --> 02:47:46,883
somebody consider a civil

5280
02:47:46,883 --> 02:47:48,352
rights museum?

5281
02:47:48,352 --> 02:47:50,220
Even with those concerns though,

5282
02:47:50,220 --> 02:47:50,386
I now support the amended bill.

5283
02:47:50,386 --> 02:47:51,922
It

5284
02:47:51,922 --> 02:47:53,356
s not perfect, but it is

5285
02:47:53,356 --> 02:47:54,524
much better than it originally

5286
02:47:54,524 --> 02:47:56,590
was.

5287
02:47:56,590 --> 02:47:58,280
Most importantly, and I wanna

5288
02:47:58,280 --> 02:48:00,462
make sure that the people with

5289
02:48:00,462 --> 02:48:02,699
a capital p are the ones who

5290
02:48:02,699 --> 02:48:03,333
actually benefit from this

5291
02:48:03,333 --> 02:48:04,467
development. We

5292
02:48:04,467 --> 02:48:05,936
re on our way

5293
02:48:05,936 --> 02:48:07,103
and I believe with the future

5294
02:48:07,103 --> 02:48:08,638
East Bank Design Review

5295
02:48:08,638 --> 02:48:08,872
Committee, and I appreciate the

5296
02:48:08,872 --> 02:48:10,400
sponsor

5297
02:48:10,400 --> 02:48:12,642
s support of that. I

5298
02:48:12,642 --> 02:48:14,277
believe that with the future

5299
02:48:14,277 --> 02:48:15,912
design Review Committee, the

5300
02:48:15,912 --> 02:48:18,912
support of planning staff and

5301
02:48:19,115 --> 02:48:20,683
commitments from developers, I

5302
02:48:20,683 --> 02:48:22,619
think we can get there where

5303
02:48:22,619 --> 02:48:23,653
this is really going to benefit

5304
02:48:23,653 --> 02:48:24,354
the people. So colleagues, I

5305
02:48:24,354 --> 02:48:25,121
hope that you

5306
02:48:25,121 --> 02:48:26,430
ll join me in

5307
02:48:26,430 --> 02:48:27,792
voting yes on the amended bill.

5308
02:48:27,792 --> 02:48:29,393
Thank you. All right, um, next

5309
02:48:29,393 --> 02:48:30,227
in the queue for discussion is

5310
02:48:30,227 --> 02:48:30,360
Councilmember Cap. You

5311
02:48:30,360 --> 02:48:31,728
re

5312
02:48:31,728 --> 02:48:33,763
recognized. Thank you, Vice

5313
02:48:33,763 --> 02:48:34,965
Mayor. Um, this is a big deal

5314
02:48:34,965 --> 02:48:35,131
for the city and the region.

5315
02:48:35,131 --> 02:48:36,499
It

5316
02:48:36,499 --> 02:48:38,668
s also a really big deal for

5317
02:48:38,668 --> 02:48:40,670
the east side of town. Uh, my

5318
02:48:40,670 --> 02:48:42,172
colleagues and I on the east

5319
02:48:42,172 --> 02:48:44,441
side have worked a lot and

5320
02:48:44,441 --> 02:48:46,443
heard a lot from our

5321
02:48:46,443 --> 02:48:48,678
communities about this, and we

5322
02:48:48,678 --> 02:48:52,278
worked hard to move this bill

5323
02:48:52,382 --> 02:48:53,350
in the direction of being a

5324
02:48:53,350 --> 02:48:54,684
neighborhood for Nashvilleans

5325
02:48:54,684 --> 02:48:55,619
and something that we can be

5326
02:48:55,619 --> 02:48:56,487
proud of in terms of its

5327
02:48:56,487 --> 02:48:57,954
infrastructure.

5328
02:48:57,954 --> 02:48:59,689
Transportation network, amount

5329
02:48:59,689 --> 02:49:01,591
of housing, walkability, and I

5330
02:49:01,591 --> 02:49:02,626
am really grateful, uh, for

5331
02:49:02,626 --> 02:49:02,926
that input. This, there

5332
02:49:02,926 --> 02:49:04,794
s lots

5333
02:49:04,794 --> 02:49:06,463
of moments when I feel really

5334
02:49:06,463 --> 02:49:07,797
proud to represent District 6,

5335
02:49:07,797 --> 02:49:09,566
and this is really very close

5336
02:49:09,566 --> 02:49:10,902
to the top of that list. I just

5337
02:49:10,902 --> 02:49:12,103
want to thank the community

5338
02:49:12,103 --> 02:49:13,571
members and folks who had

5339
02:49:13,571 --> 02:49:14,804
questions, concerns, who

5340
02:49:14,804 --> 02:49:16,873
reached out and discussed this

5341
02:49:16,873 --> 02:49:18,808
over the last several weeks. It

5342
02:49:18,808 --> 02:49:20,710
was an extremely heartening

5343
02:49:20,710 --> 02:49:21,912
civic exercise for me and I

5344
02:49:21,912 --> 02:49:22,979
also want to thank my

5345
02:49:22,979 --> 02:49:24,147
colleagues to either side for

5346
02:49:24,147 --> 02:49:24,281
doing the same thing

5347
02:49:24,281 --> 02:49:26,281
i

5348
02:49:27,217 --> 02:49:28,685
d also like to thank the

5349
02:49:28,685 --> 02:49:30,253
sponsor of the bill for being

5350
02:49:30,253 --> 02:49:31,588
receptive to the East Side

5351
02:49:31,588 --> 02:49:33,223
voice in this matter and

5352
02:49:33,223 --> 02:49:33,423
deeming our amendments friendly.

5353
02:49:33,423 --> 02:49:35,250
That

5354
02:49:35,250 --> 02:49:36,526
s really significant, uh,

5355
02:49:36,526 --> 02:49:37,961
with the bill as amended, I am

5356
02:49:37,961 --> 02:49:39,462
also supportive and ask my

5357
02:49:39,462 --> 02:49:40,697
colleagues to do the same.

5358
02:49:40,697 --> 02:49:42,980
Thank you, MR. Capp. Uh, next

5359
02:49:42,980 --> 02:49:42,232
is Councilmember Soira, you

5360
02:49:42,232 --> 02:49:43,133
re

5361
02:49:43,133 --> 02:49:44,901
recognized.

5362
02:49:44,901 --> 02:49:46,570
Thank you Vice Mayor, a lot of

5363
02:49:46,570 --> 02:49:49,306
thank yous tonight, uh, from

5364
02:49:49,306 --> 02:49:50,974
the time that the, the, we

5365
02:49:50,974 --> 02:49:52,609
started getting uh emails. Uh

5366
02:49:52,609 --> 02:49:54,770
it was obvious that people

5367
02:49:54,770 --> 02:49:55,145
wanted a change to the area,

5368
02:49:55,145 --> 02:49:56,913
but they wanted it to happen in

5369
02:49:56,913 --> 02:50:00,513
a way that benefits the people.

5370
02:50:00,584 --> 02:50:01,918
And what I kept reading was we

5371
02:50:01,918 --> 02:50:03,620
wanted to be neighborly, we

5372
02:50:03,620 --> 02:50:05,522
want parking and all of those

5373
02:50:05,522 --> 02:50:07,791
things. And before one of us

5374
02:50:07,791 --> 02:50:09,259
could think the East side

5375
02:50:09,259 --> 02:50:10,660
council members jump on and

5376
02:50:10,660 --> 02:50:12,863
they did a phenomenal job, so I

5377
02:50:12,863 --> 02:50:13,563
wanted to thank them so much uh

5378
02:50:13,563 --> 02:50:13,930
for the work that they

5379
02:50:13,930 --> 02:50:15,398
ve done.

5380
02:50:15,398 --> 02:50:17,133
I too do believe that.

5381
02:50:17,133 --> 02:50:18,468
The bill as amended come close

5382
02:50:18,468 --> 02:50:20,604
to what the people want, and

5383
02:50:20,604 --> 02:50:21,771
this is how we should be when

5384
02:50:21,771 --> 02:50:23,174
we all walk together, when we

5385
02:50:23,174 --> 02:50:23,440
take all this consideration,

5386
02:50:23,440 --> 02:50:24,441
yes, it

5387
02:50:24,441 --> 02:50:25,809
s 28th Amendment, but

5388
02:50:25,809 --> 02:50:27,310
it was worth every single one

5389
02:50:27,310 --> 02:50:28,378
of it, so I wanted to thank all

5390
02:50:28,378 --> 02:50:29,714
of them. The last thing that I

5391
02:50:29,714 --> 02:50:31,114
wanted to mention is that there

5392
02:50:31,114 --> 02:50:32,949
was a concern that was still

5393
02:50:32,949 --> 02:50:35,949
lingering as of yesterday about

5394
02:50:37,153 --> 02:50:38,521
who pays for this, and from the

5395
02:50:38,521 --> 02:50:39,890
conversation from the committee,

5396
02:50:39,890 --> 02:50:41,890
we couldn

5397
02:50:41,992 --> 02:50:43,527
t, we cannot by law

5398
02:50:43,527 --> 02:50:44,940
mandates the developer to pay

5399
02:50:44,940 --> 02:50:44,528
for anything. They

5400
02:50:44,528 --> 02:50:45,610
ve agreed to

5401
02:50:45,610 --> 02:50:45,462
it, but it

5402
02:50:45,462 --> 02:50:46,290
s not in

5403
02:50:46,290 --> 02:50:46,596
the contract that we

5404
02:50:46,596 --> 02:50:48,431
re signing,

5405
02:50:48,431 --> 02:50:50,901
so my little contribution to

5406
02:50:50,901 --> 02:50:52,302
this was I asked them to send

5407
02:50:52,302 --> 02:50:53,837
us something in writing to

5408
02:50:53,837 --> 02:50:55,205
commit to something, even

5409
02:50:55,205 --> 02:50:55,772
though we cannot make them do

5410
02:50:55,772 --> 02:50:56,406
it, and they

5411
02:50:56,406 --> 02:50:58,708
re willing to do

5412
02:50:58,708 --> 02:51:00,760
it. Can they put that somewhere

5413
02:51:00,760 --> 02:51:01,379
that we can see and I want to

5414
02:51:01,379 --> 02:51:02,980
speak it into record so you

5415
02:51:02,980 --> 02:51:04,915
receive an email today from MR.

5416
02:51:04,915 --> 02:51:06,383
Sam Reed that talks about this

5417
02:51:06,383 --> 02:51:06,583
project and the amendments, and

5418
02:51:06,583 --> 02:51:07,284
there

5419
02:51:07,284 --> 02:51:10,284
s a statement in there

5420
02:51:11,821 --> 02:51:12,489
that says that this is not an

5421
02:51:12,489 --> 02:51:13,490
aspiration. It

5422
02:51:13,490 --> 02:51:15,580
s a commitment

5423
02:51:15,580 --> 02:51:16,293
100% to be paid by the

5424
02:51:16,293 --> 02:51:18,128
developer and so.

5425
02:51:18,128 --> 02:51:19,930
I hope that settle that

5426
02:51:19,930 --> 02:51:21,531
question, uh, uh, that is still

5427
02:51:21,531 --> 02:51:23,300
lingering and with that being

5428
02:51:23,300 --> 02:51:25,350
answered and that commitment

5429
02:51:25,350 --> 02:51:26,200
and all the amendments, I to

5430
02:51:26,200 --> 02:51:27,304
move uh.

5431
02:51:27,304 --> 02:51:29,239
For the support and ask

5432
02:51:29,239 --> 02:51:30,307
everyone uh to vote and thank

5433
02:51:30,307 --> 02:51:31,741
everyone that got us here.

5434
02:51:31,741 --> 02:51:33,176
Thank you. Thank you. Next in

5435
02:51:33,176 --> 02:51:34,578
the queue is council member

5436
02:51:34,578 --> 02:51:35,378
Parker. You recognize her.

5437
02:51:35,378 --> 02:51:35,512
Think of vice mayor, and I

5438
02:51:35,512 --> 02:51:36,780
m

5439
02:51:36,780 --> 02:51:38,548
going to be careful not to

5440
02:51:38,548 --> 02:51:39,950
repeat what my colleagues have

5441
02:51:39,950 --> 02:51:42,852
already said about this. I did

5442
02:51:42,852 --> 02:51:44,154
want to speak just a little bit

5443
02:51:44,154 --> 02:51:45,855
about the process, you know, I

5444
02:51:45,855 --> 02:51:47,792
know this was um a pretty heavy

5445
02:51:47,792 --> 02:51:48,959
lift for this body, um, for the

5446
02:51:48,959 --> 02:51:50,930
committees, um, really

5447
02:51:50,930 --> 02:51:51,628
appreciative of the planning

5448
02:51:51,628 --> 02:51:53,129
and zoning committee, um, Chair

5449
02:51:53,129 --> 02:51:54,931
Horton, uh, really appreciative

5450
02:51:54,931 --> 02:51:55,899
of the patience from the budget

5451
02:51:55,899 --> 02:51:57,334
committee folks at our

5452
02:51:57,334 --> 02:51:57,500
last meeting, um, you know,

5453
02:51:57,500 --> 02:51:57,701
it

5454
02:51:57,701 --> 02:51:58,235
s, it

5455
02:51:58,235 --> 02:51:59,536
s not an easy

5456
02:51:59,536 --> 02:52:01,438
situation when an area has

5457
02:52:01,438 --> 02:52:03,206
historically been in, you know,

5458
02:52:03,206 --> 02:52:04,774
two districts separated by a

5459
02:52:04,774 --> 02:52:06,943
very natural and obvious

5460
02:52:06,943 --> 02:52:09,343
boundary, um, from, from

5461
02:52:10,113 --> 02:52:12,816
downtown and that area is moved

5462
02:52:12,816 --> 02:52:13,830
into the downtown district and

5463
02:52:13,830 --> 02:52:14,184
so there

5464
02:52:14,184 --> 02:52:16,584
s these 3 folks that

5465
02:52:17,254 --> 02:52:17,821
sort of have.

5466
02:52:17,821 --> 02:52:18,121
An interest there

5467
02:52:18,121 --> 02:52:19,656
s obviously

5468
02:52:19,656 --> 02:52:20,557
you defer to the the district

5469
02:52:20,557 --> 02:52:20,757
council member, but there

5470
02:52:20,757 --> 02:52:22,559
s a

5471
02:52:22,559 --> 02:52:23,760
historical tie with the

5472
02:52:23,760 --> 02:52:24,495
communities in East Nashville

5473
02:52:24,495 --> 02:52:24,761
there and then there

5474
02:52:24,761 --> 02:52:26,363
s this

5475
02:52:26,363 --> 02:52:27,632
weird ripple of um open

5476
02:52:27,632 --> 02:52:29,632
meetings requirements in

5477
02:52:29,933 --> 02:52:31,670
Tennessee, um, so we really had

5478
02:52:31,670 --> 02:52:32,836
to lean on that committee

5479
02:52:32,836 --> 02:52:33,670
process, um, to get to where we

5480
02:52:33,670 --> 02:52:34,271
got here and I

5481
02:52:34,271 --> 02:52:34,838
m just I

5482
02:52:34,838 --> 02:52:36,106
m quite

5483
02:52:36,106 --> 02:52:37,607
proud of the body, quite proud

5484
02:52:37,607 --> 02:52:39,750
of the committee process, um,

5485
02:52:39,750 --> 02:52:40,770
for, for the work product here

5486
02:52:40,770 --> 02:52:41,912
and I just wanna.

5487
02:52:41,912 --> 02:52:42,880
Be sure to thank, uh, the lead

5488
02:52:42,880 --> 02:52:44,800
sponsor Council member Coupin

5489
02:52:44,800 --> 02:52:46,449
and um planning and zoning

5490
02:52:46,449 --> 02:52:50,490
chair, um, Ron Horton, so thank

5491
02:52:51,488 --> 02:52:53,230
you. Thank you, sir. Uh, next

5492
02:52:53,230 --> 02:52:53,790
in the queue is, uh, council

5493
02:52:53,790 --> 02:52:53,924
member Stiles, you

5494
02:52:53,924 --> 02:52:54,891
re

5495
02:52:54,891 --> 02:52:56,760
recognized man.

5496
02:52:56,760 --> 02:52:59,329
Thank you very much, Vice Mayor.

5497
02:52:59,329 --> 02:53:02,766
Um, I will be brief. I am

5498
02:53:02,766 --> 02:53:06,366
really excited to be a sponsor

5499
02:53:06,436 --> 02:53:09,436
on this bill. I think

5500
02:53:10,307 --> 02:53:12,375
this bill showed how we can all

5501
02:53:12,375 --> 02:53:15,375
work together to work for

5502
02:53:15,612 --> 02:53:18,120
constituents, also make great

5503
02:53:18,848 --> 02:53:20,917
decisions for the city and

5504
02:53:20,917 --> 02:53:22,285
this process I was sharing with

5505
02:53:22,285 --> 02:53:25,285
someone earlier that this was

5506
02:53:26,756 --> 02:53:26,957
so markedly different from last

5507
02:53:26,957 --> 02:53:28,957
term

5508
02:53:29,292 --> 02:53:30,861
s large planning process

5509
02:53:30,861 --> 02:53:31,127
for another large project that

5510
02:53:31,127 --> 02:53:32,290
I won

5511
02:53:32,290 --> 02:53:33,463
t name and that was a

5512
02:53:33,463 --> 02:53:34,497
veritable nightmare. This is

5513
02:53:34,497 --> 02:53:34,664
going so much smoother and I

5514
02:53:34,664 --> 02:53:36,467
m

5515
02:53:36,467 --> 02:53:37,500
grateful, um.

5516
02:53:37,500 --> 02:53:38,836
I, I feel like perhaps we

5517
02:53:38,836 --> 02:53:41,836
learned some lessons from last

5518
02:53:42,273 --> 02:53:43,808
term, um, but thank you for

5519
02:53:43,808 --> 02:53:45,842
everyone that came up with a

5520
02:53:45,842 --> 02:53:47,111
wonderful amendment, every

5521
02:53:47,111 --> 02:53:47,311
single council member and I

5522
02:53:47,311 --> 02:53:48,779
m

5523
02:53:48,779 --> 02:53:50,714
looking forward to seeing what

5524
02:53:50,714 --> 02:53:52,549
this manifests into over the

5525
02:53:52,549 --> 02:53:54,986
years to come. Thank you. Thank

5526
02:53:54,986 --> 02:53:56,520
you, MS. Stiles. Uh, next is,

5527
02:53:56,520 --> 02:53:56,519
uh, councilmember Evans, you

5528
02:53:56,519 --> 02:53:58,519
reckon that

5529
02:53:59,689 --> 02:54:01,125
s me. Thank you,

5530
02:54:01,125 --> 02:54:02,125
Vice Mayor. I

5531
02:54:02,125 --> 02:54:04,125
m really excited

5532
02:54:05,629 --> 02:54:07,431
that I, um, brought forward 3

5533
02:54:07,431 --> 02:54:07,965
amendments that went nowhere,

5534
02:54:07,965 --> 02:54:09,666
but I think

5535
02:54:09,666 --> 02:54:10,768
advanced at least some

5536
02:54:10,768 --> 02:54:12,350
conversations that I think are

5537
02:54:12,350 --> 02:54:12,936
important, in particular the

5538
02:54:12,936 --> 02:54:14,272
one about who

5539
02:54:14,272 --> 02:54:15,338
s paying for what,

5540
02:54:15,338 --> 02:54:16,541
um, because I think that was a

5541
02:54:16,541 --> 02:54:18,742
topic that was uh kind of

5542
02:54:18,742 --> 02:54:18,942
swirling around the edges and

5543
02:54:18,942 --> 02:54:20,278
hadn

5544
02:54:20,278 --> 02:54:21,578
t been very explicit and

5545
02:54:21,578 --> 02:54:22,579
so I appreciate the the

5546
02:54:22,579 --> 02:54:22,847
conversation around that and i

5547
02:54:22,847 --> 02:54:24,480
think it

5548
02:54:24,480 --> 02:54:24,850
s really important for

5549
02:54:24,850 --> 02:54:25,182
anybody in this room that

5550
02:54:25,182 --> 02:54:26,483
s

5551
02:54:26,483 --> 02:54:28,483
contemplating running for

5552
02:54:28,953 --> 02:54:31,422
another term, um, that you mark

5553
02:54:31,422 --> 02:54:34,492
this time in your memory, um,

5554
02:54:34,492 --> 02:54:35,592
because there will be future

5555
02:54:35,592 --> 02:54:37,940
opportunities where there will

5556
02:54:37,940 --> 02:54:37,261
probably be questions around

5557
02:54:37,261 --> 02:54:38,929
who

5558
02:54:38,929 --> 02:54:39,950
s paying for what, um, and

5559
02:54:39,950 --> 02:54:40,197
you

5560
02:54:40,197 --> 02:54:42,165
ll have an opportunity to

5561
02:54:42,165 --> 02:54:43,366
kind of weigh in on those uh

5562
02:54:43,366 --> 02:54:44,569
discussions in the future,

5563
02:54:44,569 --> 02:54:45,669
because ultimately, you know,

5564
02:54:45,669 --> 02:54:47,405
we did learn some things from

5565
02:54:47,405 --> 02:54:48,905
last term related to the

5566
02:54:48,905 --> 02:54:50,174
project that will not be named,

5567
02:54:50,174 --> 02:54:51,975
um, and one of it is the

5568
02:54:51,975 --> 02:54:52,542
material, um, outcomes that

5569
02:54:52,542 --> 02:54:53,544
probably we didn

5570
02:54:53,544 --> 02:54:55,544
t get deep

5571
02:54:56,790 --> 02:54:57,948
enough about really what um

5572
02:54:57,948 --> 02:54:59,351
these large projects look like

5573
02:54:59,351 --> 02:55:00,884
from an execution perspective

5574
02:55:00,884 --> 02:55:01,785
and how the what the impact

5575
02:55:01,785 --> 02:55:03,688
looks like in all of our

5576
02:55:03,688 --> 02:55:04,622
districts, um, so thanks again

5577
02:55:04,622 --> 02:55:06,622
for allowing

5578
02:55:08,559 --> 02:55:10,294
uh one of the, the suburban

5579
02:55:10,294 --> 02:55:11,528
areas to participate.

5580
02:55:11,528 --> 02:55:12,630
Thank you, MS. Evans. Um, all

5581
02:55:12,630 --> 02:55:14,970
right, last in the queue for

5582
02:55:14,970 --> 02:55:15,600
discussion, back to the primary

5583
02:55:15,600 --> 02:55:16,434
sponsor to bring it home. Go

5584
02:55:16,434 --> 02:55:17,334
ahead, sir. Thank you, MADAM

5585
02:55:17,334 --> 02:55:18,336
PRESIDENT, and I will try to

5586
02:55:18,336 --> 02:55:19,737
not to echo all the wonderful

5587
02:55:19,737 --> 02:55:21,639
things that were said, but a

5588
02:55:21,639 --> 02:55:23,740
deep appreciation to everyone I

5589
02:55:23,740 --> 02:55:25,809
forgot earlier to think, um,

5590
02:55:25,809 --> 02:55:27,578
Brian and Sammy and again Matt

5591
02:55:27,578 --> 02:55:28,279

emails all sorts of hours, so

5594
02:55:31,414 --> 02:55:32,850
thank you to everyone who put

5595
02:55:32,850 --> 02:55:34,818
in all this extra work to make

5596
02:55:34,818 --> 02:55:36,530
this happen, um, and thank you

5597
02:55:36,530 --> 02:55:37,488
to the development team, um

5598
02:55:37,488 --> 02:55:38,722
putting up a phenomenal amount

5599
02:55:38,722 --> 02:55:38,990
of money to make this project

5600
02:55:38,990 --> 02:55:40,990
go and we

5601
02:55:41,392 --> 02:55:42,894
ve been able to shape

5602
02:55:42,894 --> 02:55:43,895
it as a council and as a body,

5603
02:55:43,895 --> 02:55:44,662
um, but I think it it needs to

5604
02:55:44,662 --> 02:55:44,795
be said that they, they

5605
02:55:44,795 --> 02:55:46,164
re

5606
02:55:46,164 --> 02:55:47,798
putting up a big sacrifice to

5607
02:55:47,798 --> 02:55:49,367
take this from scrap yard to to

5608
02:55:49,367 --> 02:55:50,334
neighborhood, um, and then, and

5609
02:55:50,334 --> 02:55:52,300
then I just wanna end with

5610
02:55:52,300 --> 02:55:53,704
thanking the people um who

5611
02:55:53,704 --> 02:55:54,804
wrote, who called, who emailed,

5612
02:55:54,804 --> 02:55:55,339
um, this project is better

5613
02:55:55,339 --> 02:55:55,806
because of you, it

5614
02:55:55,806 --> 02:55:57,410
s better

5615
02:55:57,410 --> 02:55:58,476
because you contributed,

5616
02:55:58,476 --> 02:55:59,677
because you lifted up your

5617
02:55:59,677 --> 02:56:00,845
voice. Um, this is how we

5618
02:56:00,845 --> 02:56:02,246
should do bills, this is how we

5619
02:56:02,246 --> 02:56:03,748
should legislate, in my opinion.

5620
02:56:03,748 --> 02:56:06,384
I think this shows that we can

5621
02:56:06,384 --> 02:56:08,586
do that. We can land planes, um,

5622
02:56:08,586 --> 02:56:09,860
in, in this way collaboratively

5623
02:56:09,860 --> 02:56:10,121
with with

5624
02:56:10,121 --> 02:56:11,622
full buy in, um, so really

5625
02:56:11,622 --> 02:56:13,157
appreciative just to everyone

5626
02:56:13,157 --> 02:56:16,594
um who, who did it. I think we,

5627
02:56:16,594 --> 02:56:18,196
we are building a neighborhood

5628
02:56:18,196 --> 02:56:20,310
for Nashvillians, and so with

5629
02:56:20,310 --> 02:56:21,633
that I move approval as amended.

5630
02:56:21,633 --> 02:56:24,330
All right, um, uh,

5631
02:56:24,268 --> 02:56:26,137
we are on that motion already.

5632
02:56:26,137 --> 02:56:28,874

5765
03:00:30,147 --> 03:00:31,282
discussion first in the queue

5766
03:00:31,282 --> 03:00:31,449

Thank you very much, Vice Mayor.

5770
03:00:39,223 --> 03:00:41,292
We have received a lot of

5771
03:00:41,292 --> 03:00:42,560
emails from constituents that

5772
03:00:42,560 --> 03:00:44,328
live close to this property.

5773
03:00:44,328 --> 03:00:48,528
They are not in support of this

5774
03:00:48,766 --> 03:00:49,967
project and as usual, I find it

5775
03:00:49,967 --> 03:00:51,602
very difficult to support

5776
03:00:51,602 --> 03:00:53,370
projects when people email,

5777
03:00:53,370 --> 03:00:55,439
show up to planning, show up to

5778
03:00:55,439 --> 03:00:56,474
the chamber, have concerns, I

5779
03:00:56,474 --> 03:00:58,760
think.

5780
03:00:58,760 --> 03:00:59,544
The people that elected us and

5781
03:00:59,544 --> 03:01:01,380
put us in office if they

5782
03:01:01,380 --> 03:01:02,847
complain, we need to take their

5783
03:01:02,847 --> 03:01:03,382
