Good evening.

It is six thirty two PM and I'm gonna call the Thursday, September third, twenty twenty six planning and zoning work session uh 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 to the Texas Government Code.

So

at this time we'll have staff come forward and discuss the items on tonight's work session agenda.

So

before we get into the items for this evening, um I have a couple of just community announcements here.

Just a reminder, Labor Day uh the City Hall is closed on Monday.

There are a couple of adjustments for treasure recycling days.

Um other facilities though listed on the screen there, uh NRH two oh NRH Center and the Iron Horse Golf Course will be open.

Um of course look at the website for holiday hours.

Also uh coming up, we have uh next week the September eleventh um ceremony that we have here every year at City Hall.

We saw driving in probably the flags that were placed out on the lawn.

Um that is scheduled to begin at nine, eleven AM.

I would arrive earlier than that to get a seat if you would like to attend.

Uh it's just a really nice service that our uh fire department and police department put on

here.

Uh on uh some sort of ensemble.

I don't know, it could be could be correct.

Sorry if it's

not.

Um celebrating culture series probably should attend and maybe learn a bit more about it.

I might be able to learn how how it is actually pronounced.

But that's kind of the the cool thing that we do with these different um celebrating culture series.

We get exposed to things that we're

not

used to seeing every day.

Um that's also a free event that Monday at six PM at the library.

Uh

the heart of NRH community awards is a new program uh that the was announced as part of

kind

of part of the budget presentation this year and it was also discussed um with the city council in the last meeting.

Um this is kind of taking the place of what was the typical

um

business appreciation lunch.

We're still gonna have that lunch and uh give some recognition to the businesses, uh but also kind of expand it this year out into a more community wide uhwards uh recognition luncheon.

Uh and so there are different categories where nominations will be accepted uh for the rest about almost the rest of this month through the twenty-fifth for those categories that you see on the screen there.

Um

a

citizen of the year, a volunteer of the year,

uh

board of commission member of the year, and a business of the year.

And so um those nominations will come in.

There's a there will be if it hasn't been already formed, um, a selection committee that will kind of look through those um and those awards will be given out at that uh event.

And so um we had some requests from council to find different ways to recognize people, and this is one of the things that was uh proposed and they accepted and discussed at the the last city council meeting.

So that'll be a fun change uh this year to kind of expand it out beyond the traditional businesses.

Then

just a couple other things.

Um kind of hit or miss on whether I give you an update at the meeting on previous action taken by the city council and items that came before you.

So just to kind

of

um keep you on the loop for those of you that haven't followed or watched those city council meetings.

Um

the

Smithfield Terrace Plan Development, which was the residential housing project proposed by San Lynn between Smith Smithfield and Hewitt was approved.

That plan development district was approved by the city council.

Um

the small sliders SUP that came before you also was approved by the city council.

And um at that same meeting, the accessory structure on Shady Grove that you had seen kind of all all together in that packet of items was also approved by the city council.

Uh
