All right.

Good evening, everybody.

We want to thank you very much for signing on tonight.

I know you probably have you had to eat dinner early or do something else or cancel something else to be here.

So we're really pleased that you're you're able to join us for this presentation and this discussion tonight.

Um in the participants tonight.

And I'm joined here by my colleague as well, who can introduce herself.

So yeah, we're going to talk to you guys a little bit tonight about um substandard lots.

This is our second community meeting in the process.

So uh tonight we're going to go over, you know, kind of what led to uh uh where we are now.

Um we're going to go over the results of the substandard lot inventory that um that Katie really led, but that we uh have put a lot of of work into to determine where these are and what they're like.

Um we're gonna bring up some uh uh you know, hear questions from you and discussion um uh you know, then go into our draft recommendations and more discussion and then kind of go over the timeline in the next steps.

So um we're gonna for this meeting, we're gonna utilize the QA function in in Zoom.

Um you can type in your questions at any time during the presentation, but we um and we'll we'll answer them if they're sort of uh questions that we can answer sort of quickly, um, you know, that don't require lengthy responses, and we're gonna try to answer them um typing them out while the other person is um kind of tag teaming to answer questions during the presentation.

Um for some reason you're having trouble typing in the QA, um, you can raise your hand, use the raise hand function, and we can unmute you.

So again, you can you can use the QA function during the presentation.

Um there's a there'll be two uh points during the presentation where we're gonna just dedicate fully for discussion.

Um if you again if you have trouble using the QA function, then you just raise your hand during those designated times during the presentation, and we can we're happy to answer your questions.

So um diving in, um, this is just kind of a quick overview of uh it's a little bit of a spoiler um for the presentation, but it's an overview of of what we're gonna talk about tonight and why we're here.

And so basically our our uh our inventory, our research found that about 33% of the city's single unit detached lots or substandard.

Um and nearly all of them are developed and fall only like just short of the zoning requirements.

So they're they almost meet all the required um lot requirements.

And despite these, the fact that there's so many of them and that they're only a little bit short of the zoning requirements, all of them have to go through the SCP process.

And some actually aren't even allowed to apply for an SUP before they can be developed.

And so again, that's regardless of how minor, how minorly substandard they are or how similar they are to their surrounding lots.

So we we are again that this is a little bit of a spoiler, but one of our draft recommendations is to allow substandard lots that come close to meeting the zoning requirements or that are similar in size and shape to their neighbors to develop by right and reserve the SCP process for genuine outliers, lots that are much smaller than their surroundings or significantly smaller than their after surroundings and are not surrounded by lots of similar sizes and shapes.

So the purpose of tonight is just to share what we've learned about the you know, through the citywide inventory process, walk through our recommendations and and most importantly, really get your feedback before finalizing these recommendations before we take them to planning commission and council in um October.

So with that, I'm oh I still have a little bit more.

Just to recap kind of how we got here.

This uh this project was endorsed by city council um back in June 2025.

So it's a little bit over a year ago.

Um that was when uh planning and planning staff indicated they wanted to study this a little bit and council endorsed that effort.

Um we we initially held a community open house in September 25 to um to sort of initiate this project, and then um Katie and our team really got derailed with a number of other projects, and so we really didn't um get a website going and have our first community meeting until April of this year.

Um and since since that meeting, we've had a discussion with the planning commission.

Um, obviously, today is August 6th, and we're talking with you all tonight with a second community meeting, and then again, the October will be when we have the Planning Commission City Council hearings.

And with that, I am going to pass this off to Katie.

All right.

Um, as Sam mentioned, we did a substandard lot inventory.

Um, and what we found were was that there was about 2900 lots in the city that are substandard.

Um, and this is approximately 33% of the 9,000 single unit detached housing, detached residential lots.

Um, it's in all the residential zones, uh, but mainly R8.

That's the the highest concentration, as you can see by the graph here.

Um, and then next would be R25.

Next slide, Sam.

And here we have just a map to kind of show you where these areas are.

They're very concentrated in pockets of the city.

You can see a lot of the R8 is in sort of that like north central area of the city.

Um, with the we call them the sort of tree streets over there.

Um, but a lot of those are there, and then you have some pockets over on the west end and in Delray as well.

So um a lot of the lots are substandard in more than one uh lot requirement.

So the lot requirements are the size, the width, and the frontage.

Most of them are substandard in width and size.

Um very few are substandard in just a singular lot requirement, as you can see from the graph here.

Um, and most of these lots, like Sam mentioned in the beginning, are meeting a majority of the requirements.

So we've found like uh they are meeting 75% or more of the requirements.

Um, there's a good chunk meeting even 85% or more.

So a lot of these lots uh are meeting that that minimum requirement or close to meeting that minimum requirement.

And then here we just have it broken up again.

R8 was the most concentrated of the substandard lots.

You can see it's broken up by the interior lots versus corner because those do have different um requirements in terms of size and width, and you can just see how they're they're varying.
