A bill for an ordinance relating to the Denver Zoning Code, enacting the Krisana Park Conservation Overlay District, CO-5. Approves text amendment #10 to create the Krisana Park Conservation Overlay District CO-5 (preserving the distinctive mid-century modern architecture), in Council District 6. The Committee approved filing this bill at its meeting on 10-11-16.
Lopez. Now you can close the voting and announce the results. Lebanese 11 eyes. Resolution 166 has passed. Congratulations and congratulations to City Council for doing three public hearings at 12 minutes. The council has now reconvened. And Councilwoman Gilmore, will you please put Council Bill 906 on the floor? Yes. Thank you, Mr. President. I move that council bill 906 be placed upon final consideration and do pass. All right. Has been moved and seconded. The combined public hearing of council bill 906907 is open. Speakers may comment on either one or both of the bills at the conclusion of the public hearing, Council will vote separately on each bill and council members. This is much similar to the affordable housing bill. When we had the two bills, we're going to vote on each of them just to let you know. So may we have the staff report? Kyle. Hey, good to see you. Good evening, council president and good evening. Members of council. I'm Kyle Dalton with the Department of Community Planning Development. I'm going to give you the combined staff report for both bills this evening. The proposal here tonight is to develop a new conservation overlay district, which is intended to conserve the Eichler style style of California contemporary homes that were built by the developer HB Wolf and the Crescenta Park neighborhood in the 1950s. The proposal tonight would maintain the distinctive features of this building style, including low pitched rooflines, low profile, single storey building heights, and ensure that additions are compatible with the character of the neighborhood. There's a lot more pictures and information about the proposal in your packet, including an eight page application by the proponents who are residents of the neighborhood, as well as a red line draft showing an underline and strikethrough. All of the text that's proposed as part of this new zone district. In terms of the combined process for both bills, this really kicked off in March of last year when some residents met with me and CPD with a PRE-APPLICATION meeting. They continued discussions about the proposal among themselves and with the council members for about a year. And then we had a neighborhood meeting in March of 2016. At that time they expanded the area to which the zone district would apply. Originally, they intended to apply it to only one block and expanded it to the full neighborhood. There was a neighborhood meeting about that expanded area which staff in the Council district attended. And then in June of this year, Councilmember Paul Cashman formally initiated the amendments. He is the sponsor of both the text and the MAP Amendment. Having received that application from Councilman Cashman, the staff began drafting it. We remodeled and tested the proposal and met with the residents in the Council district about the draft. Together, we all attended the meeting of the Inner Neighborhood Cooperation Zoning and Planning Committee. Over the weekend. They submitted a letter which was uploaded to our systems this afternoon indicating that they voted by a vote of 24 in support and zero against with one abstention to support the proposal. After that meeting there was a public review draft and we provide a notice of that draft to all registered neighborhood organizations in the entire city and all council members. There was a planning board public hearing that was duly noticed in September of this year, at which your planning board unanimously recommended approval. Following Planning Board. This went forward to the Land Use Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. And then tonight's public hearing was properly noticed with additional sign postings and emails to all registered neighborhood organizations in the city and all city council members. In addition to the Ainsi Letter, we received 33 letters of support, all from residents or owners of property in the district and no letters in opposition to the proposal. So first, in terms of the text amendment, which your first bill does in order to create in the code, the zone district, the does the text amendment is designed to amend the provisions of the existing suburban single units, 6000 square foot minimum zone district. It does so by reducing the maximum building heights to one and a half storeys or 18 feet. It reduces the bulk planes that shape the buildings. It reduces the roof pitch. It sets a roof pitch where one does not yet currently exist. It expands the rear setback so that when folks do one storey additions, they're located in areas that are appropriate on the zone lot. So it reduces the rear setback from 20 feet to 15 feet. It prohibits rooftop and second story decks, and it also updates the rules of measurement in order to conform with the standards that were proposed by the neighborhood in the council office. This is an illustrative massing diagram of of how all of the standards work together. It is not an example of an actual house, but kind of shows the envelope that would be possible on a typical zone lot in showing the reduced height, reduced bulk planes and an increased rear setback . So the idea here is that when when folks do if folks decide to add on to existing houses in a way that expands the height, it's easier to do so towards the rear lot and then towards the front where it can be visible from the street. So that's what the text amendment would do in terms of adding into the code the c05 or conservation overlay number five to the Denver zoning code. And then with the second bill, you would map that new zone district to the geographic area where it's intended to be applied, which is, again, look it in the Crescenta Park neighborhood , which is in the Virginia Village Statistical Neighborhood and Council District six. It's comprised of 176 single use unit residences. Again today, they're zoned suburban single unit D. And then if adopted tonight, the bill would append the c05 to the end of that zoning designation. It's roughly bounded by Louisiana Avenue, Florida Avenue, Dalia Street and Fairfax Street and Bill and Filbert Way. So there are four criteria that apply. The first is unique to conservation overlays, and then the three relates to both text and map amendments. I'm going to combine both both analyzes here together. So first, a conservation overlay must meet one of the following criteria in the code. Either or both. The district should contain distinctive building features such as period of construction style, size, scale, detailing, mass color and material, and or the districts that contain distinctive site planning and natural features such as lot platting building, lot coverage, street layouts, setbacks, alleyways, sidewalks, creek beds, parks and gardens. So we think of this as kind of it has to meet either a criteria that relates to the vertical nature of development or the horizontal nature of development. In this case, we find that it's consistent with both. So the proposed overlay would create new standards that would be more consistent with the existing character of the neighborhood and the distinct building features that are found in this mid-century modern neighborhood. It also would reduce rear setbacks under the proposal in order to encourage a development that's more consistent with the character. And then there are three review criteria for legislative map and text amendments. First, that it be consistent with adopted plans. Second, that there be uniformity of district regulations. And third, that it further the public health, safety and welfare. So in the next slide, Comprehensive Plan 2000 recognizes that altering zoning standards to better recognize the existing character of the neighborhood is is consistent with the plan which calls for ensuring quality infill, for identifying community design and development issues , and targeting those issues with specific controls and ensuring that the zoning code reinforces quality design. We find that the proposal would, which is consistent with that plan. The other applicable plan is Blueprint Denver, adopted in 2002, which is the city's land use and transportation plan. Again, Blueprint Denver recognizes the need for overlays to address specific characters of an area. Specifically Blueprint Denver recognizes that this kind of zoning can apply where there are areas with similar objectives, but where either the base zoning varies, which doesn't apply here, or where additional standards are needed to reinforce a certain character. And that's and that is what applies in this neighborhood. Blueprint Denver's land use map calls for this area to be single family residential, and the proposal is consistent with the single family residential character. It's also an area of stability where the goal is to identify and maintain the character of an area while accommodating some new development and redevelopment. We find that the map and Text Amendment are both consistent with those recommendations from Blueprint Denver. We also find that it's consistent with the regulations would be uniform as applied throughout the district and by implementing your adopted plans that would further the public health, safety and welfare. And having reviewed it against all review criteria, we recommend approval. Thank you, Kyle. All right. Tonight, we have eight speakers. I'm going to call the first five up. And if you you know, we usually make this bench available for the speakers. So if you all could relocate, I would greatly appreciate it. Edward Melanson. John P Olsen. Oh, you know what? You guys still stay there. But Seth. Greg will be first. Donna Spinelli will be second. Sarah. Scharf. Scharf Maker, thank you so much. And Kate Adams. All right. Seth. Seth. Greg, you will be first. And you each each have 3 minutes, except Cate Adams has 6 minutes to read it. My name is Seth Gregg. I live at 1480 South Filbert Way. I'm actually reading for Angela merkel excuse me. Marissa Marasco, who lives at 1327 South. Fairfax. Street in Christ on a park. I'm an architect and I work and have worked on the design for renovations on four houses in the neighborhood. So I have intimate knowledge of the original design intent of the Eichler inspired homes. I also worked as a block captain to get signatures to support this overlay for our street. I love our neighborhood and I'm committed to helping it thrive and evolve for how we live today. And as an architect, I have a design to expansions that have added ample space all on the main level. So I know it can be done well without destroying the flow and original layout of these homes. Working in the building industry, I am typically not in favor of more restrictive zoning efforts. However, I think that this overlay provides a sensible middle ground for helping to preserve the. Distinctive. Mid-Century architecture character that we. Love. And even though this zoning change adds restrictions, it balances out. By giving more room for expansion. Further into the backyards. As for the very small percentage who don't agree with this overlay, I think it's an. Important factor to consider is. That the value of the. Homes continue to increase even more. Dramatically than in other. Denver neighborhoods. A house just sold on our street for the top price ever in our neighborhood for $780,000. And this is for a house under 2000 square feet. The House does not have a pop up. And the expansion is all on the ground level. I think that speaks to how much people value the design and character of these homes and how important it is for the future sustainability of our neighborhood. As some of you might know, on the West Coast. There are authentic midcentury homes everywhere. But for Denver, there are only a few small pockets. Christina Park is a unique gem of a neighborhood and I think as shown with the overwhelming. Support of the petition. In this case, there's a very strong reason to implement the zoning overlay. Thank you for your time and your consideration. Thank you, Mr. Grech. You can have a seat. Donna Spinelli. You have 3 minutes. Thank you. I'm Donna Spinelli, and. I live at 1470 South Filbert Way. I bought my house in crisis a park in. 2011 when I was a student of historic preservation. At the University of Colorado School of Architecture. And I was really attracted to the. Look and feel of the. Homes and just the fact. That they were historic. But also modern, which is a really, really unique aspect of the architecture. I'm also a realtor. I have this overachievement problem, and I've done a study of the property values, of course, on a park, and they are easily 20 to 30% higher than the streets immediately adjacent. Exact same square footage, same upgrades, etc.. So it's very clear that the design and the cohesion of the design is really contributing to the value, and that speaks to the personal property rights of the owners. So I believe that actually adopting this would enhance the personal property rights of the owners. And as a conservative, I think that's quite a statement. So I really hope that you will decide to adopt this. I think it has incredible support throughout the entire neighborhood. I've never seen anywhere. 90% of people for 89.6, whatever it was, percent of. The residents approve. Anything. And I have also served on the planning and zoning commission in Eagle, and it's frequently we frequently had to adopt much more controversial kinds of motions or zoning changes because they would, you know. Benefit the greater good. But, you know. They definitely were going to have a downside. To to, you know, a fairly large segment of the people that they were going. To affect. But that's not the case with this one. This one is a win win for everyone because. And it has the support of the neighborhood. So thank you very much for listening. Thank you, Miss Spinelli. Sarah Shah from. Okay. Yes, thank you. My name is Sarah Shaffer, N.A. and I live at 1302 South Edison Way. Of course, South Edison was the first street across on a park. And I will be speaking for John Steel. John still lives at 1473 South Eudora. I've lived in the Christina Park neighborhood for 28 years. I have always appreciated and enjoyed the opening and inviting style of these California contemporary style homes. The post and beam construction lends itself to an open and inviting atmosphere that encourages families to enjoy both the freedom of an open floor, open plan with an easy flow between the coziness of our ranch style, single level floorplans and the connection to the outdoors via our directly connected patios and backyards. As a community, we love the understated simplicity of the shallow, angled lines that define our roofs and consistency of the shapes of our homes. But at the same time appreciate the incredible variety of organic appearances brought about by the breadth of landscaping that our neighborhoods have. Our neighbors have created in their yards from traditional grasses and trees to wonderful zero escapes. An act that accent our southwestern locale. It is really important to those of us who live here to maintain this style and sense of continuity while allowing our neighbors to express their individual taste and perspective. By the way, the landscape, their yard and decorate both the outside and the inside of their homes. We marvel at the variety and richness with which our neighbors choose to reconfigure and decorate what is essentially a single floor plan for almost all the homes in our neighborhood. We appreciate the consistent look of our neighborhood, and I think I'm correct in saying the universal response to renovations that have popped the top or put a garage at the front of the home, that makes the home look more like something from the cookie cutter suburbs at the edges of our metropolitan area and blocks the connected as we are. The connectedness we all want to encourage is that this is not on a park, hence this effort on the part of our whole neighborhood to update our zoning designation to limit the types of renovations that can be done in on a park to those that are in harmony with the style, character and ambiance flows from the largely integral set of homes. That is Christina Park. Thank you. Thank you. All right, Kate Adams. And you have 6 minutes. Thank you. Good evening. My name is Kate Adams and I have lived at 1392 South Edison Way for 41 years, and I'm speaking in support of both of the bills. My desire for an overlay district for Crescenta Park began with historic Denver at the Virginia Village Library in the fall of 2013. When we began to pursue it in earnest in early 2015, I experienced what it is like to be part of a committed and loving community for the almost two years it has taken us to get here. I call ours an organic process to preserve the architectural style of the homes in Christiana Park because we didn't find the guidebook for overlays. Thankfully there is Kyle Dalton of Community Planning and Development. He has answered many questions, sometimes more than once, and attended numerous meetings. Kyle, I believe this is the last time you have to explain the details of the of park overlay. I cannot thank you enough for your extensive knowledge of both the zoning code and the process to change it and the patient guidance you provided us. Thank you. When I read Tom Newell's book recounting the Hilltop Conservation Overlay and learned they hired attorneys and marketing consultants. I knew we couldn't do that because we had no money. What I found out was we had homeowners willing to give their time, talent and energy to a labor of love. Both new and old relationships have formed in Chris Santa part that allowed us to complete gathering signatures for support from over 89% of the owners. The map in your packet illustrates the level of support we have to preserve the architectural integrity of the 176 homes. My heartfelt thanks goes out to all the volunteers and neighbors who have helped get us here tonight. And I'd like to acknowledge the 13 block representatives from Dahlia, Eudora, Elm, Fairfax and Philbert and several are here tonight . Also Angela Morasco for his architectural knowledge, Kirk Rainey for his graphics design for the proposal, Tom Tore Grove for his photography, and all those who showed up in support at planning board and here tonight. And the real skunkworks was has been John DAVIDOVICH Don. Karen Flanagan. And Mouse. Sarah and myself, who persevered for almost two years. The winemakers may have noticed we have stopped our regular meetings. Cheers to you and our motion of support from Iron Caesar up to a unanimous planning board in our favor, including the three self-identified property rights members, and to getting us here before council tonight. Thank you for your unique contributions and dedicating dedication through the process which has had both its challenging as well as rewarding moments. Thanks also to Councilman Cashman from our first meeting. He got it that Crescenta Park is something worth preserving. I thought he would take us forward with 80%, but I guess he wanted to make sure we would be successful. I sure hope 90% is convincing and I hope I ask for your vote to preserve Chris Hannah Park with Conservation Overlay five. Thank you. Thank you, Miss Adams. Okay, we have our last four speakers. Edward Melanson. My name is Edwin Melanson and I reside at 1381 South Edison Way. And I'm reading on behalf to my neighbor Jean Sawyer, who's from 1388 South Edison Way, who cannot be here this evening. Good evening, council members. My name is Jean Sawyer and I reside at 1388 South Edison Way Denver. While I could not attend this evening's meeting in person, I wanted to add my comments to the Council in support of the Crescenta Park Conservation Overlay District. My wife Jean and I moved to Denver five years ago and purchased at home and in the park, selecting the neighborhood for its unique and cohesive. Century architectural. Style. Shortly after moving into our home, we were blessed with two children and quickly realized that we would have. To either abandon the home we love or expand it to accommodate our. Needs. We chose the latter, consulting with multiple architects as well as our neighbors to assure we arrived at responsible design that met our needs without altering the original feel of the neighborhood. While it would have been surely cheaper and easier for us to simply add structure within the existing zoning rules, we purposely navigated several rounds in planning as well as the zoning variance process because we wanted our home to respect the community. It is part of in our short time in Denver, Jane and I have witnessed the tremendous growing growth, growth going on around us and the ills that come with the construction boom. Many neighborhoods are losing their original character with the introduction of non-conforming architectural. Styles. And grossly oversize structures. While I am a. Proponent of property rights, I feel that responsible design is being overlooked in many neighborhoods forever altering the landscape of Denver. I would appeal to the council to adopt the Christina Park Conservation Overlay District to help our community. Preserve the homes we cherish with their distinctive style. Thank you. Thank you, sir. John Paulson. Thank you. Members of City Council. My name is John Olsen. I am the director of preservation programs at Historic Denver on behalf of historic Denver's Board of Trustees and my colleague Beck, a dear Shaw who has spent the most time in our office on this issue, I am speaking in support of the proposed conservation overlay for Christina Park. Historic Denver first became involved with Christina Park in the summer of 2013 at an informal garden party. It was revealed to our staff that the neighbors of Christina Park were truly passionate about their homes as an enclave of midcentury modern design. In the heart of Denver, many residents moved into the neighborhood expressly for the love of its architecture, to celebrate the unique design of these homes and begin the process of providing tools for their conservation. Historic Denver applied for and received a grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation to create a pattern and design book. This, coupled with an investment book from both historic Denver and a match from Carson, a park neighbors allowed us to hire the Center for Preservation Research at the University of Colorado, Denver's Architecture School, to help author that publication. This book highlighted the distinct architectural features that make Christina Park unique to Denver and offered suggestions for homeowners looking to expand their homes while still honoring the architectural design in the original buildings. Now it is here. I have it here in print form, but it's also available on our website at Historic Denver North and it is for free. The proposed conservation overlay before you tonight is an extension of principles outlined in the pattern of design idea book and it protects many of the architectural features highlighted within this overlay came about due to hard work and countless hours on the part of the Christina Park residents who wish to honor and protect the features that make their neighborhood unique with the overwhelming support of Cassandra Park neighbors, this conservation overlay is truly a community driven effort. The City of Denver planning staff and notably Kyle Dalton, were also vital in turning elements from the pattern book and neighborhood concert conversations into a zoning language that would protect the neighborhood's important features. The conservation overlay is an important tool for the preservation and vitalization of Denver's neighborhoods. Together, our communities are empowered to make thoughtful choices about their future. Our conservation overlay takes time, it takes investment, and it takes dedication. This one started almost three years ago, but the result is community invested in both its neighborhood character and in each other. Historic Denver applauds the neighborhoods neighbors of Christina Park for their hard work, and we'd like to thank the community planning and development staff for helping us and them achieve their goal and protecting the mid-century modern character of Cassandra Park. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Olson. Pamela Walsh. And there are going to be two more speakers if you guys could go to your seats in America. Christine Richard's up as well. Thank you. Good evening. My name is Pamela Walsh and I'm here championing champion championing this overlay district tonight on behalf of myself and my husband, Gerry Walsh. We live at 1316 Elm Street, and I'm here to ask for your support tonight to approve the district that's supported by 90% of our neighbors. We're new to the area having relocated here from the San Francisco Bay Area seven months ago. And as a native Californian, I've always loved the the Eichler style that inspired these homes. And although California has some stellar examples of this architecture, I haven't seen a neighborhood as well-preserved and cozy and as cohesive as what we were delighted to find in Christina Park when my husband and I were searching for a home. We've viewed several other midcentury modern in Denver, but we specifically chose Christina Park for this reason. And since living here, I've only grown more enamored with Christina Park, at least in part due to the enthusiasm and the appreciation of it by our neighbors . I've never lived anywhere before where the first thing that a new neighbor says to me is, Don't you love our house? Don't you love our homes? This shared love of the mid-century modern style of Christina Park is a uniting factor among its residents, and many are eager to show off how they've decorated or how they've lovingly preserved or sensitively evolved its original architecture or design elements. This sort of I'll show you mine if you show me yours. Attitude among the homeowners has inspired me to lead a cross on a park home tour this spring or summer in partnership with fellow Speaker Christine Richards and in support of historic Denver. And in addition to the home tours, we plan to have lectures and discussions about mid-century modern style and preservation, as well as a festival featuring local resources and businesses. This leads me to my passionate endorsement for the architectural overlay. We've already seen a few examples in our neighborhood where modifications have led to the disruption of visual continuity or intrusion of privacy. And while I am also a great supporter of property rights, I believe the overlay is sufficiently reasonable and lenient to allow reasonable modifications. Further, the course on a park pattern book provides a fantastic resource to homeowners committed to doing modifications in a way that is still sensitive to the original architecture. This is an opportunity to truly put grass on a course, on a park, on the map alongside other wonderful and well-known neighborhoods in the city. So finally, I want to reiterate my love, of course, on a park and the passion I've experienced from our neighbors that who take such pride in our neighborhood. When people ask me, Don't you love your home? I want to say yes, but I love my neighborhood and I ask for your support today. Thank you. Thank you, Miss Walsh. Lastly, we have Christine Richards. All right. Good evening. My name is Christine Richards. And I live at 1480 South Filbert Way. And I'm speaking in support of both of the bills. Now I'm listed as one of the owners of a 1480 South Filbert Way. But I really like to think that this home belongs to Mary Roland. Mary lived in and loved 1480 South Filbert Way for over 50 years, from 1959 until 2010, when she passed away at the age of 96. And she kept the home all original. And when I say all original, I mean everything down to the mint, green bathroom and plastic tiles. Well, I fell in love with the house, bathroom and all because it was cool and different and unlike anything I had seen in Denver. And I wrote a passionate letter to Mary's family when they put the home up for sale. And I guess my passion came through because we apparently beat out developers with all cash offers for the home. Now, as silly as it may sound for something from the 1950s, I love the history of this home and its style, and I feel like a protector of Mary's legacy. And I've kept nearly everything in the home original. But as I lived in Chris on a park, I realized it wasn't just about my one home, but the entire neighborhood that I loved post-World War Two neighborhoods. They aren't as much about the individual homes as the rhythm of the neighborhood and the fabric of the neighborhood. And keeping that integrity is is so critical if we want to be able to preserve this part of Denver's history. So I was thrilled to be a part of the conservation overlay district. But as I dove in, you know, I wondered what other neighbors supported. We have some rentals. You know, we have some long time homeowners there. And I was amazed to find that both, you know, long time home owners and and people who were landlords, you know, supported it, people who rented out these homes, they didn't want to let go of these homes. They wanted to hold on to them. Long time homeowners were willing to admit that. Yes, the thing that they bought that was relatively new. Now it's something that's worth preserving. So, you know, I think that it's it's important. You know, we have an opportunity here to not just protect Mary's home, but also an incredible neighborhood. That's a gem for those who bought into the neighborhood from the beginning, those who are living there today. And for, you know, future residents who I hope will delight in as much about discovering this enclave in Denver as as I did. So thank you. Thank you, Miss Richards. This concludes our speakers questions by members of Council on. And I want to be clear, this is on Council Bill 906 and nine or seven. Seeing no questions. The council hearing is closed. Four counts. Bonanno, S.A. seven. Comments by members of Council. Councilman Cashman Yes, sir. Thank you, Mr. President. I am truly honored to bring forward this map and text amendment to create C0 Dash five, a conservation overlay for the Christina Park neighborhood. As it's been said, it's an enclave within the Virginia Village community from Delta to Fairfax, between Louisiana and Florida. In the interest of full disclosure, I live in Virginia Village. However, I live seven houses north of Christiana Park. So when people say, Oh, you live in that cool neighborhood with those contemporary California? No, no, I live seven houses north and it's kind of plain Mandeville. Shingle houses. I love my neighborhood. I love my block because Santa Park is definitely something very, very special. Conservation overlays for those who are not familiar a differ significantly from historic designation. A historic designation identifies particular properties that are so historically relevant that they should be maintained. A conservation overlay, on the other hand, reflects a community's desire that the unique character of the community should be preserved. Our home can be demolished. A home can be added on. But the character, the items that Kyle Dalton and his wonderful crew, along with the neighbors, have labored so hard to to create must be maintained. The while there have been a couple of pop tops in the neighborhood disrupting the consistency of the community, the overall character has been enhanced, as has been said, by years of people just loving these homes. You need to drive through crash on a park. It's not just that the homes are so cool. The streets themselves break the right angle grid of the city and have a more curvilinear approach. The overlay permits additions that can create substantial additional space for those who feel more square footage is necessary as long as certain references to existing character maintained. There is no requirement about materials, no design review required passive adhering to the zoning and normal permitting requirements that you'd need if you were going to do any kind of renovation on your home. You know, it's kind of funny. I love the speakers on Councilman Cashman did this and thank you, Councilman Cashman, for doing that. Councilman Cashman opened the door so an army of foot soldiers could go out and bust their butts for for a couple of years talking to their neighbors and making their case. And as has been brought up and that I need to it's not true. I never required 90%. I did drag Geelong at 88, but I felt like I felt like the football coach at halftime that that urging his tired players to dig in deep. You got some more left in. And I am absolutely stunned. At the last I heard, it was 89.4% approval. We still in that neighborhood, Kate? 89.6. There you go. Someone flipped. Way to go. And that's astounding. This this is truly a grassroots effort. I couldn't be more proud. Kate is not the only one. As she said, her sidekicks, Jon Davidovich and Karen Flanagan. And the first time I heard the word Sarah in public now, Schaaf Nager, they worked hard along with their their block captains. I'm just proud to be a small part of this and urge my colleagues to support this, these ordinances. Thank you, Councilman Castro and Councilman New. Yes, I'm I'm pleased to support these ordinances. And I just want to congratulate the neighbors on at a time when the city's driving for density. And you're making so many changes in our city to accommodate so many people coming into our city, it's wonderful to see a whole group effort to preserve their community, preserve their neighborhood in the style of the neighborhood. So it's very refreshing in a graduate you for the one also thank Karl Dot and his CPD you know it working together with the neighborhood on a whole a concept that makes sense for a neighborhood to preserve his character. And and so that's the way the city should be working with its citizens to preserve those things that are important to the citizens. Thank you very much. And I look forward to supporting this. Thank you, Councilman. Councilman Clark. Thank you, Mr. President. I am excited to support this tonight, and I want to congratulate the neighbors. This is really an impressive display, I think 90% I can't even get 90% of the people in my family of four to agree that ice cream is a good thing because my daughter won't sign on. And I think you've beat all of the toothpaste companies by having who only have three out of four dentist to recommend their toothpaste. So I just, I, I couldn't go by without saying 90% is really staggering. I getting 90% of people in your neighborhood to agree on anything. I never name something that's big, so congratulations and. Wow. Thank you, Councilman. Councilman Espinosa. 90%. That's that's dictator territory. I did. Just along those lines, I wanted to thank, sir for using the words zero escape, not zero escape. That one is a pet peeve of mine and Ed Melanson for your comments. I think there was a lot of really great comments, but but sort of understanding the way you articulated that balance of some of the property rights and desires of the community and have you how you strike, how there's merit in doing taking these actions. I think everybody here to get 90% recognizes the real value of these structures in their community. And so I applaud you all for doing the work that you've done and a volunteer effort. And it's amazing. Thanks. Happy to support this. Great. Thank you, Councilman Espinosa. See no other comments? I'll just say I were just wrapping up an overlay district and at 30th and Blake Stationery in Reno. And I've been working with the community around that and it's been an eight month process. And it was it was very hard at first, but it's going really well and did overlay district in Curtis Park as well. And so these community process issues around, you know, property rights and design standards are tough, but when done properly in the right process, I think we can come out with a good conclusion. So well done on the 90%. But can I tell you what I love most about tonight is your love for the neighborhood. Your love for the neighborhood came out and I'm on my iPad. Like, where is this place? I've got to go there. So thank you. I'll be going there this week, so I really appreciate it. Okay. Members of council, we are voting on nine or 6/1. So. Madam Secretary. Roger Cashman. Hi. Lopez.
