Commission work session to order. A quorum of the planning and zoning commission is present, and the meeting has been posted in accordance with the Texas Open Meetings Act of the Texas Government Code. At this time, we'll have uh Corey discuss the items on tonight's work session agenda. Okay, good evening, commissioners. Um, before we get into this evening's items, just a few kind of community events to keep you in the loop or make you aware. We are still accepting applications for the Citizen Civic Academy. You can visit the city website for more information if you would like to apply. We're still taking applications. The class size, I believe, is limited to about 20 participants. This is a seven-week program over the course of September-October time frame where you get a little bit of a deep dive into several city departments and kind of learn more about how city functions and ask questions and really just kind of get to know everybody from the city council and staff uh perspectives. We also have up count upcoming um the annual um common ground NRH community garden fall gardening seminar. So this is a few hour long event uh once a year in the fall that the common ground uh hosts. It's a free event. There's no registration required. You can just show up, um, bring your friends and learn from all the experts about gardening as we head into the fall gardening season. And then finally, uh, this is same thing we let you know about last year this time. Uh we have a proposed operating budget for the city that was just proposed last week by our city manager, and um as we've done in the past, we'll be hosting budget roadshows uh around uh the community over the next month or so or a few weeks, I guess, just to provide an opportunity for people to ask questions about the budget, um, share concerns or get more information from any of the city staff that are available or city council attending at these uh road shows. We call them a budget road show. So the first one is held as going to be held here on August 13th in the City Hall lobby, and then to just get out in the community, we're also holding one on August the 22nd at Kindred Coffee. Um, that was pretty well attended last year as well. Okay, getting into the um items for this evening. We only have one regular agenda item, which is consideration of a uh plat 7200 uh mid-cities boulevard. This is just showing the general location of that property. It is just south of Mid Cities Boulevard, just west of Iron Horse Boulevard and north of Dick Fisher Drive North, uh, just located directly north of our animal adoption and rescue center. Not sure what's going on here. All of our words are not showing up on the on the screen here, but um, this is looking southwest uh from mid-cities, looking back at the property at the corner of uh mid-cities and the intersection with Iron Horse. This is looking the opposite direction back toward the the east southeast. This is looking northwest from Iron Horse toward the uh toward the subject property, and then kind of from the opposite corner, looking back uh to the northeast from Dick Fisher Drive on the west side of the property. Have to reopen this and try to get this to show up better here in just a second. But um, this is a future land use plan on the the left side here, designates the property as office commercial, uh, and then on the uh right side of the screen here.
