Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. If you would please silence your cell phones or other devices. I'm calling this meeting to order at 6 30 p.m. August 6, 2026 for the meeting of the planning and zoning commission of the city of Carrollton. This commission consists of nine members all are present tonight. This commission has final authority on certain items and an advisory role and others. In the case of advisory items, uh the commission's recommendation for denial will be considered by the city council if the applicant makes a written request in accordance with city ordinance. The commission conducts its business in accordance with the posted agenda, copies of which are held in the lobby outside these chambers. In accordance with the state open meetings act, the planning and zoning commission is restricted from discussing or taking action on items not listed on the agenda. Approval of a subdivision plat or replat is required by state law if a plat meets all applicable provisions of state law and the city of Carrollton's ordinances. A plat is deemed approved by operation of law if no action to approve or deny a plat by the planning and commission is taken within 30 days after a plat meeting all requirements is filed. The public may comment on all items listed on the agenda for the planning and zoning commission consideration tonight. If you wish to comment on any agenda item, please complete an appearance card located on the table at the entrance of the city council chambers. The items on the agenda under the heading public hearing will be considered individually, beginning with the case presentation after any questions from the commission of staff and the applicant. The commission will provide an opportunity for individuals to speak on the case. When it is your time to speak, please come forward to the podium, give your name and address for the record, and make your comments to the commission. When everyone has had the opportunity to speak, the applicant will be given an opportunity to make brief closing comments. At that time, there will be no further opportunities for public testimony on that item. The public hearing portion of the cases considered tonight are intended to be an opportunity for the public to be heard by the commission. It is not an opportunity for the commission to respond to public testimony or answer questions from the public. After the case presentations and public testimony period is completed, the commission will conduct any discussion and action as appropriate. Thank you. So the first order of business is to hear public comments for the three consent agenda items tonight. So if there's anybody in the audience with comments for the consent agenda audience, you may come forward at this time. Are there any commissioners that have any comments about the consent agenda items or wish to make a motion? Yes, Commissioner Foster. Yes. Thank you. I'd like to make a motion to close the public hearing as to consent agenda. And then you vote to approve the minutes of the July 2nd meeting that we approve the staff stipulations. Items two and three. And as to items three, we find that the right-of-way dedication is necessary. Thank you. Commissioner Foster. Yes, first vice chair Pendleton. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will second that motion. Thank you, Commissioner Pendleton. So the motion was made by Commissioner Foster to approve the three agenda items tonight.
