Rita Miller, Neighborhood Services Manager, outlined the process for declaring structures dangerous and placing them on the demolition list. Once declared, property owners have 30 days to demolish the structure, after which Code Compliance initiates demolition, including an environmental review due to the use of CDBG funds. Demolitions are anticipated for October 2025, except for 1400 Travis, which will be bid out in July and funded through the General Fund. Following demolition, the City invoices the property owner, and if unpaid, a lien with accruing interest is placed on the property. If the Council grants an extension, the property owner must obtain a Restoration Permit within 30 days and show substantial completion within 90 days. Failure to meet this timeline allows Code Compliance to proceed with demolition without further Council action. Alex Borrego, Code Compliance Supervisor, presented the background and timeline for the structures recommended to be declared dangerous, and said initial notices were sent in February 2025. Councilor Browning clarified that the Council can remove a property from the list and allow additional time if they choose to. Mr. Borrego presented the following properties recommended for demolition: 2303 Princeton, main Structure— Date of notice February 5, 2025, $2,190.07 taxes owed, structure fire November 5, 2024, and water disconnected September 21 , 2021 . 1111 Rowland, main Structure — Date of notice February 5, 2025, $1 ,694.55 taxes owed, structure fire November 6, 2024, and water disconnected October 12, 2024. Maxie Green, 820 7th Street, requested additional time to complete demolition and cleanup, citing delays due to an ongoing insurance claim. He initially intended to restore the structure but has since opted for demolition and obtained the necessary permits. He also requested that the City cover the cost of the environmental evaluation, noting that a nearby fire had damaged his property. Ms. Miller stated that environmental evaluations are only required when CDBG funds are used, and there would be no additional expense to Mr. Green if he demolishes the property himself. Councilor Cobb asked if the city would demolish the structure immediately after the 30- day period. Mr. Borrego clarified that we are required to give property owners 30 days from the hearing date to pull a permit and begin demolition, but due to the time required to complete environmental and historic reviews, the City will not bid this project until October 2025. 2910 Lebanon Rd., main structure — Date of notice February 5, 2025, and water disconnected May 4, 2018. 3227 Seymour Rd., main structure — Date of notice February 5, 2025, structure fire September 15, 2022, and water disconnected December 4, 2014. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES June 17, 2025 Page 4 PAGE 4 of 13 AGENDA ITEM NO.5. Sherry Weldon, 4119 Blanton Street, and her son stated they have owned the property since 1972 and have remained current on property taxes. They requested additional time to remove personal belongings, citing recent severe weather as a delay. Approximately half of the items have been removed, and they anticipate completing the process by October. They also noted interest from several potential buyers, but cannot proceed with a sale until the belongings are cleared. They reported past issues with break-ins and said the fire was caused by squatters. Mr. Borrego stated that they would have to notify the City in writing if they plan to sell the property. 1107 Burnett, main structure — Date of notice February 5, 2025, structure fire December 27, 2024, and water disconnected March 7, 2017. 1305 Midwestern Parkway — Mr. Borrego stated that this property has been demolished and will need to be removed from the list. 1322 N. 5th Street, main structure — Date of notice February 5, 2025, and water disconnected October 8, 2016. Mr. Borrego stated that the property owner intends to demolish the property. 1415 Kemp Blvd., duplex structure — Date of notice March 13, 2025, water disconnected September 1, 2007. 1226 Tulip St., main structure — Date of notice March 13, 2025, fire November 24, 2024, and water disconnected November 27, 2024. 1306 Gladiolus St. main structure — Date of notice March 13, 2025, structure fire December 27, 2024, and water disconnected January 4, 2011 . George Foster, 1910 McGregor Ave., intends to restore this property. He has obtained remodel and foundation permits, and asked for time to restore the house since he takes care of 500 other properties. He feels he can have substantial completion within 60 days. 1711 Fairfax Ave. accessory structure — Date of notice March 13, 2025. Jean Bouchard, 1711 Fairfax, stated he did not understand what the problem was with this structure, and said he feels he is being retaliated against after the City hit a water main while boring under the street in front of his property, flooded his driveway, and broke his curb. He said a contractor brought a load of pea gravel but did not fix the curb. Mr. Bouchard said he uses the structure as a garage, there are no utilities, and it cannot be seen from the alley or the street. He feels that someone trespassed on his property to take pictures. Mr. Borrego stated that search warrants were obtained through Municipal Court to enter the property, there was enough probable cause visible from the front of the property, and the process was initiated by a complaint. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES June 17, 2025 Page 5 PAGE 5 of 13 AGENDA ITEM NO.5. Councilor Flack asked how there are no roof leaks since a portion of the structure does not have a roof. Mr. Bouchard stated that the portion without the roof is not part of the garage and is an add-on. Councilor Taylor asked if the City did the boring or if it was completed by a contractor for a fiber optic company. James McKechnie, Deputy City Manager, stated that the City did not perform the work, and the damage was caused by a telecommunications company that was not contracted through the City. Mayor Short asked if Mr. Bouchard had property stored in the building, and he said he had beekeeping equipment and ratchet straps stored there. Martin Wolf, Chief Building Official, said the structure is a fire hazard, dangerous, and at risk of collapse. Mr. Bouchard said he has owned this property for forty years and that the building is in the same condition as when he purchased it. Kinley Hegglund asked Mr. Wolf if as the Chief Building Official for the City of Wichita Falls is his testimony that this is a dangerous structure, and Mr. Wolf said yes. Mayor Short asked Mr. Bouchard if he planned to do anything with the property, and he said no; he plans to continue parking his car there. Councilor Browning suggested that he work with the City staff to determine what needs to be done. 1720 Fairfax, accessory structures — Date of notice March 13, 2025, taxes owed $1 ,103.73, and water disconnected June 6, 2024. 1900 Britain St., main and accessory structures — Date of notice March 13, 2025, taxes owed $1 ,103.73, and water disconnected May 17, 2011 . 3800 Shasta Drive, commercial property— Date of notice March 13, 2025, fire September 9, 2023, and water disconnected December 28, 2023. Richard Hendron, 2516 Tinker Trail, the last living trustee of the property, stated it is contracted to be sold. The realtor stated the closing will be July 3, 2025, if they do not have administrative issues due to only one trustee still living. The buyer knows he is on the clock and will make substantial improvements within 90 days. Mr. Borrego stated that it will stay on the list, and a restoration permit must be pulled within 30 days. 1400 Travis, main and accessory structure — Date of notice March 31 , 2025, taxes owed $1 ,739.54, fire March 29, 2025, and water disconnected June 27, 2006. Mr. Borrego said CITY COUNCIL MINUTES June 17, 2025 Page 6 PAGE 6 of 13 AGENDA ITEM NO.5. it is a downtown historic property and has significant fire damage. Demolition will be paid for with General funds since CDBG funding requires historic reviews. Mr. Hegglund asked that the motion include striking 1305 Midwestern. If the Council wishes to put any of the properties on the restoration list, they will need to be included as well. Properties placed on the restoration list allow the owner to pull a restoration permit within 30 days. There was a brief discussion regarding allowing restoration permits to be pulled and the timeline. Councilor Brooks asked why a home on Tulip was not included, and it was noted that it is an occupied structure. Councilor Brooks stated there is no running water, and there has been a fire. Mr. Borrego stated they are addressing those issues. Councilor Taylor asked about 5114 Inlet, and it was noted that the property was addressed on the consent agenda. Katherine Phillips, 2704 Palmetto Dr., expressed her concern about 1226 Tulip. She understands that it was sold and there was a fire, but it has historic value. To see the house be demolished without recognition is a concern. She would like to see the property recognized, and expressed concerns about the property across the street. She feels history needs to be preserved, and Eastside needs to be beautified and built up. It was noted that the current owners of the property have made no contact with the City. Mayor Short closed the public hearing at 9:45 a.m. Item 9a(ii) — Ordinance 31-2025 Ordinance finding certain buildings and/or structures to be dangerous; requiring property owners to demolish said buildings and/or structures within thirty (30) days of the date of this ordinance and declaring an emergency and immediate effective date.

Item 9b — Public hearing and discussion regarding proposed fare increases for the Wichita Falls Transit System Mayor Short opened the public hearing at 9:46 a.m. Jenny Stevens, Public Transportation Administrator, provided background on the proposed transit fare increase, noting that the last adjustment was in 2013, despite industry standards recommending increases every five years. Rising maintenance and personnel costs, along with the expiration of ARPA funding, necessitate the changes. She proposes replacing single-ride fares with transfers to a day pass valid for 24 hours for $3.50, which is more cost-effective for riders. Additional proposed increases include the monthly pass from $45 to $50, the reduced pass from $22 to $25, the 20-ride pass from $12 to $15, and deviation fees will remain $3.00. She noted other cities have seen increased ridership with similar changes and emphasized the importance of flexibility. Outreach to nonprofits is planned to discuss impacts and potential savings, and they will hold the two required public hearings to comply with Federal Transit Administration regulations, along with a third public hearing added. Additional public comment opportunities are proposed to be held at the Travel Center on July 17th and August 12th from 5-7 p.m. The proposed changes are scheduled to take effect on October 1 , 2025. Councilor Taylor asked how they calculate the 24-hour pass, and Ms. Stevens said it is not activated until it is swiped. Councilor Cobb asked Ms. Stevens about the Sheppard Express and if it is a one-time or 24-hour pass. She said that it is a one-time pass, but they will be able to use the 24-hour and monthly passes. Ms. Stevens noted that most riders use the app to purchase passes.

Stephen Calvert, Director of Finance/CFO, presented a comprehensive overview of the City's financial outlook, highlighting key accomplishments in 2025 such as increased employee compensation, $30 million allocated to capital improvements, and receipt of the GFOA Distinguished Budget Award. He noted that property values are projected to increase by approximately 2.76%, which is lower than expected, limiting flexibility in adjusting the tax rate due to legislative caps. Sales tax revenue is anticipated to remain flat, while interest rates are expected to decline. The General Fund remains the City's primary financial challenge, with the bulk of revenues coming from property and sales taxes, and expenditures concentrated in public safety and essential services. Mr. Calvert discussed how the City's tax rate is slightly higher than other peer cities, but has the lowest per capita tax levy. He emphasized the need to address personnel costs, especially in light of compensation levels falling 8-15% below comparable cities, and proposed a compensation study, performance-based incentives, and investments in training and equipment. Discussions of strategies to reduce costs and improve efficiency are currently underway, including a citywide 4% savings target and the CITY COUNCIL MINUTES June 17, 2025 Page 12 PAGE 12 of 13 AGENDA ITEM NO.5. creation of a fiscal sustainability committee. Mr. Calvert said, "If you see something, say something," and encouraged staff to discuss inefficiencies and cost-saving opportunities. Enterprise funds were also reviewed with a recommended 2% rate increase to keep pace with inflation, and to maintain service levels for Water, Sewer, and Sanitation. There was discussion regarding the City's reinvestment zones, revenue sources, and long-term planning for infrastructure, debt retirement, and operational efficiency across all funds. Additional topics covered included reducing General Fund subsidies, increasing underpriced service fees, and maximizing grant funding. Internal service funds, special revenue funds, debt service, and capital improvement funds were also reviewed. The next steps include submitting the proposed budget to the City Council on July 28, individual meetings with members of the Council and the budget team August 4-8, a Budget Workshop on August 12, a Public Hearing on the tax rate on August 19, and budget and tax rate adoption on September 2. Mr. Jenkins encouraged everyone to work smarter, not harder. Item 15 — Adjourn Mayor Short adjourned the meeting at 1 :18 p.m. PASSED AND APPROVED this 1st day of July 2025.

ADOPTION OF MINUTES 7 PAGE 1 of 13 AGENDA ITEM NO.6.b Chairman Woodward asked if any of the members of the Commission have a motion to approve the April 9, 2025 meeting minutes. Commissioner Noros Martin made the motion, and Commissioner Jack Browne seconded the motion. Chairman Woodward asked if anyone from the public would like to make a comment. No one came forward with any comments. Chairman Woodward then took the motion to approve the April 9, 2025 meeting minutes to a vote. The motion passed with a vote of 9 - 0 in favor. IV. CONSENT AGENDA Chairman Woodward then asked if there were any items that were to be moved from the consent agenda to the regular agenda. Mr. Fabian Medellin stated that there were none Chairman Woodward asked if there was a motion to approve the consent agenda. Commissioner Matt Marrs made the motion to approve, and Commissioner Steve Wood seconded the motion. Chairman Woodward asked if anyone from the public would like to speak about the consent agenda, and no one made any comments. Chairman Woodward took the motion to approve the consent agenda to vote, and it passed with a vote of 9-0. Chairman Woodward then moved on to the regular agenda. V. REGULAR AGENDA 1) Case C25-09 - 2300 Tinker Trail, Request to allow for a carport in the required front setback in the Single Family -2 (SF-2) zoning district. Applicant— Paul and Donna Sunderman 8 PAGE 2 of 13 AGENDA ITEM NO.6.b Chairman Woodward asked if there was a motion. Commissioner Michael Grassi made a motion to approve, and Commissioner Matt Marrs seconded the motion. Mr. Cedric Hu presented the case and showed a location map and aerial views of the property and surrounding area. The Commissioners were shown the site plan for the 24' by 24' proposed carport, which will be built two feet from the front property line, and will be supported by four posts that will be each be eight feet tall. Mr. Hu showed multiple slides that gave views of the property from various directions to see where exactly the carport would be placed. The Commission was then informed that staff had notified all properties within a 200-foot radius, which was a total of sixteen properties for this case, and had no responses. Staff does recommend approval of this carport request, subject to a site plan review by Planning and Building Inspections at time of permitting to verify conformance with Section 4220, and that all other codes and ordinances are in compliance. Chairman Woodward asked if the applicant would like to make a statement, and no statement was made. Chairman Woodward opened up comments to the public, and with no comments from the public he opened up comments to the Commission. Commissioner Jack Browne spoke up to clarify that there are three carports already in the area of the subject property. Chairman Woodward took the motion to vote, and the motion was approved with a vote of 9-0. 2) Case C25-10 - 300 Lee Street Request to allow for the reduction of 25' to the side interior setback in the Light Industrial (LI) zoning district. Applicant - North Central Texas Community Healthcare Center Commissioner Steven Wood recused himself from this case, and discussion, due to a conflict of interest. 9 PAGE 3 of 13 AGENDA ITEM NO.6.b Chairman Woodward asked for a motion, and Mr. Marrs made the motion to approve the request following with Commissioner Noros Martin seconding the motion. Mr. Hu presented the case, and explained to the Commission that the applicant is asking for a reduction of 25 feet to the side setback of the south end of their property. He informed the panel that the proposed warehouse on this parcel is next to a residential property, and normally such a structure would be required to follow a 30-foot setback from the residential property line. Since the 300 Lee Street property is in a light industrial zoning district, and the residential property next door is in a general commercial district, the subject site property is eligible to have a setback reduced to just 5 feet from that residential property line upon acquiring a conditional use permit. Mr. Hu then presented slides showing various angles and views of the owner's property,and the surrounding properties, pointing out exactly where the subject site is located. He pointed out that this property is right next to offices and other residential uses, from north to south in this area, and added that the General Commercial district runs along MLK in that area with light industrial zoning by the railroad tracks to the west. Staff contacted landowners within a 200-foot radius of the applicant's property, and fourteen property owners were sent a notification letter. Mr. Hu stated that staff had not received any responses for this case. It was noted that staff recommends the approval of this conditional use permit to allow the reduction of the required side interior setback to just 5 feet, with the conditions that: A) There will be screening for the use of a privacy fence (wood or masonry of six feet) provided on the interior side south property line next to that residence. B) The maximum height of the structure will not exceed one story. C) A Site Plan Review by Planning and Building Inspections at the time of permitting for construction, in order to verify conformance with all other applicable codes and ordinances. Chairman Woodward asked if the applicant would like to make a presentation. The applicants were present, but did not wish to make a statement. Chairman Woodward opened up comments to the public, and with no comments from the public he opened up discussion with the Commission. There was no further discussion. 1a PAGE 4 of 13 AGENDA ITEM NO.6.b Chairman Woodward took the motion to vote, and the motion was approved with a vote of 8-0. (With Mr. Wood having recused himself.) Mr. Wood rejoined the Commission panel 3) R25-03 -2707 West Rathgeber Road Annexation Zoning Recommendation Consideration to recommend a zoning designation of Single Family-2 (SF-2) and a Land Use Plan classification of Low Density Residential for a petitioned annexation at 2707 West Rathgeber Road (2.00 Acre Tract Out of a 5.00 Acre Tract in the Green Reynolds Survey, Abstract 251, Wichita County, Texas) Applicant — S&S Investments/Larry Scott Chairman Woodward asked Mr. Fabian Medellin to present the case. Mr. Medellin started by mentioning that with the annexation of new land in the city, there comes all the services that go along with that, zoning being one of them. The default classification for new annexed land is Single Family-1. However, in order to be as efficient as possible, we would like to propose the annexation petition along with your recommendation for a zoning classification of Single Family-2, which is consistent with the surrounding properties. Mr. Medellin stated that staff met with Nash Gann and Kerry Maroney of Bigs & Matthews on behalf of the property owner, Mr. Scott, to discuss the proposal for a new single-family residence out on the two acres there. Slides were presented showing the proposed site and location, pointing out that the site is currently undeveloped, and the area around the property is primarily undeveloped all around it to the north (which is in within the city limits). There were some residential uses just to the south-east that were pointed out to the Commission as well. The owner, Mr. Scott, prepared the petition and it was submitted for annexation on his behalf, and exhibits, as part of the petition annexation request were shown. Mr. Medellin reiterated that we're doing this for the sake of efficiency and continuity, and trying to streamline the process, because the petition is proposed to go to City Council the first meeting in June. Using those exhibits and slides, he pointed out surrounding properties to the north and west are currently classified as Single Family-2, and those to the south and east are out 11 PAGE 5 of 13 AGENDA ITEM NO.6.b of city limits. Therefore, that area has no classification. Staff is wanting to continue the Single Family-2 classification, since the applicant's use aligns with the classification around him and the surrounding uses. Also, with that zoning classification, is the designation of the land use plan classification, which we are also proposing to mirror what's surrounding that site (which would be low density residential). In addition to the zoning classification, we would like to adopt the newly annexed land with that low density residential land use plan classification. Mr. Medellin concluded by stating that staff does recommend the permanent designation of Single Family-2 (SF2) Zoning District, and the low-density residential land use plan classification for the petition annexation at 2707 West Rathgeber Road. Chairman Woodward asked if anyone in the audience would like to speak on this case. Seeing that no one wished to speak, he closed the public hearing on case R25-03 at 2:15. Chairman Woodward asked if there was a motion, and Commissioner Browne made the motion to approve the case, with Commissioner Doug McCulloch seconding the motion. There was a concern that was brought up by Mr. Browne regarding the possibility of landlocking the back half of the property. Mr. Medellin stated that the owner owns the lot directly to the west, and had mentioned (through his development team) that he is considering annexing that land as well at a future point in time and developing an additional residence. Mr. Medellin also clarified that the entirety of the lot to be annexed will have to be replatted, and the plat for this parcel will have been submitted for review by the time this case goes to the City Council. Commissioner Steven Wood voiced a concern if 2719 to the west could be sold, and it could become annexed, and create a pocket that is not in the city limits. Mr. Medellin stated that our planning requirements, and our view, are limited to "at the time of development." Since it is still agricultural/undeveloped land, we can't trigger any requirements to provide access agreements or easements until such time. He assured the Commission that we always highly recommend (in pre-development meetings) if the owner decides to do anything with this piece of tract later, that they sell it to one of those adjacent properties. Then the access wouldn't be an issue at that point. But if not, then that's something to consider. 12 PAGE 6 of 13 AGENDA ITEM NO.6.b With no more comments or questions, Chairman Woodward took the motion to vote, and it passed unanimously 9-0. 4) R25-04— 5201, 5203, 5205 & 5207 Stone Lake Drive Public Hearing to consider recommending a request to rezone 5201, 5203, 5205 & 5207 Stone Lake Drive (Stone Lake Estates, Lots 33-36, Block 1, Phase 9) from Single Family-2 (SF2) to the General Commercial (GC) zoning district and amend the Land Use Plan from Low Density Residential to Commercial to allow for the construction of an office building. Applicant: Brian Blair Commissioner Steve Wood recused himself from the case. Chairman Woodward opened the public hearing at 2:19. He stated that there will be the Public Hearing, and the Commission will then take action after the closing of the Public Hearing. Mr. Fabian Medellin presented the case and stated that staff met, with Mr. Blair and Mr. Wood to discuss the potential new development of an office building. These four lots were previously subdivided and are currently zoned to allow for residential uses within the Single Family-2 (SF2) zoning district, which was done in 2022. He stated that these parcels are currently undeveloped, and the large tract of land to the east is currently owned by Stone Lake, LLC. Showing an aerial map of the area, Mr. Medellin pointed out some of the uses along Stone Lake Drive stating that some are residential, and going towards Southwest Parkway the uses are commercial, and are some civic in nature. He noted some of the large developments there, being the Bill Bartley YMCA, Christ Academy, and showed on the west side of Stone Lake are some offices, a bank, House of Hope, and pointed out Grace Church directly across from the subject tracts. He also explained to the Commission that Stone Lake is a "major collector" (as classified on our thoroughfare plan), which is intended to move people from their residential streets to higher classification streets—giving them ease of access to the city and throughout. Mr. Medellin stated that there is a difference with Stone Lake Drive, and that most major collectors are not paved as wide as Stone Lake Drive has been paved. The typical collector is paved to 36 feet wide, and Stone Lake is paved to 48 feet wide. He added, that based on the already existing uses there, it looks and feels like a commercial corridor. Mr. Medellin said that on the west 13 PAGE 7 of 13 AGENDA ITEM NO.6.b side is General Commercial zoning, and south of the YMCA on the east side is residential. Staffs proposal is to have the General Commercial district that is on the west side to now encompass the four subject lots. We discussed the layout of the lots with Mr. Blair and Mr. Wood, and how they could meet our developmental guidelines. They prepared a concept that meets our guidelines, and even took into consideration the neighbors and set the proposed building as close to the front setback line, buffered the residential area with parking and landscaping, and will be required to use screening to further separate the residential use from the commercial use. Mr. Medellin reiterated that staff is proposing to rezone the four tracts of land from Single Family 2 (SF2) to General Commercial (GC), and change the land use classification from low density residential to commercial. Since this was a full rezone, staff did send out notices and received four in favor responses and one undecided response. (The undecided response noted that they did not have any concerns for the proposed development.) Mr. Medellin stated that staff does recommend the rezoning the four properties (5201, 5203, 5205 & 5207 Stone Lake Drive) from Single Family to General Commercial, and amending the Land Use Plan designation to commercial. Chairman Woodward asked if anyone from the public would like to make a comment. Brian Blair came to the podium and gave some additional information to why they are wanting to move their business to this location, and described in more detail how they will be using the parcels. He stated that the business is a 9-5 business with very little foot traffic, as most of their clients meet via zoom meetings. Chairman Woodward asked if anyone else would like to comment, and there were no additional comments by the public. Chairman Woodward closed the Public Hearing at 2:28. Commissioner Matt Marrs made a motion to recommend the case, and Commissioner Blake Haney seconded the motion. Chairman Woodward asked if there was any more discussion with the Commission. Commissioner Jack Browne stated a concern of safety for the lack of sidewalks there. The panel discussed the dedicated bike lane that is 14 PAGE 8 of 13 AGENDA ITEM NO.6.b available, and the street having been paved wider than most. Mr. Medellin stated that sidewalks are not put in, until actual development has been started. Chairman Woodward took the motion to vote and it passed 8-0 (Mr. Wood had been recused from the vote). Mr. Wood returned to his position on the Commission. VI. OTHER BUSINESS Mr. Medellin briefly discussed the Neighborhood Revitalization Committee, now known as The Heart of the Falls Revitalization Area. He informed the Commission, that they had met with the sub-committee (made up of some of our commissioners) to discuss some zoning amendments, both to the district boundaries and to use classifications. Ms. Christal Cates (our Neighborhood Revitalization Coordinator) will be presenting the actual text of the changes to be made. Ms. Cates informed the Commission that staff has been working with the Heart of the Falls Neighborhood Revitalization Committee since it was formed in May, and have been working on ways with them to revitalize initiatives, to grow the neighborhood, and make it a better place or quality block for the citizens there. Since it was formed, the committee has been meeting about every two weeks to try to get the framework built. This is the first revitalization area that we have in the city, so we are starting from scratch and having to build up. She stated that we have been researching the ways we could create development over there, and how to make redevelopment easier. Looking at zoning: One of the first things we wanted to do is an overlay district. We have noticed that a lot of municipalities are going to overlay zones. It makes it easier to go in and address specific issues that we would have. Ms. Cates showed a slide and pointed out an older area that needs revitalization, with homes 80-100 years old. The use of an overlay will help streamline and stimulate some redevelopment in this area. The overlay will have the same boundaries as the Heart of the Falls. She stated that the sub-committee, made up of Commissioners Steven Wood, Doug McCulloch and Jeremy Woodward, helped develop this plan that Ms. Cates has laid out. She provided the Commission a version of the new plan and zoning changes. One of the first 15 PAGE 9 of 13 AGENDA ITEM NO.6.b zoning changes is to eliminate the parking requirements for all non-residential uses in that area. They have a lot of commercial places there, like Mom-and- Pop shops, where people can come in and the structure is already there. But that area is always lacking parking. A person will go to develop, and we have parking requirements, we can't always make their proposed project work. Numerous times we have seen clients come in for a pre-development meeting, and while trying to help them we find out that parking is an issue. Ms. Cates said that through their research they found that other cities have gotten rid of parking requirements, and she noted that even we don't have any parking requirements in downtown Wichita Falls. Sometimes it is difficult to find a parking space, but we have done well with it. Another item the committee looked at was to eliminate the 10,000 square foot minimum size requirements for accessory dwelling units. She stated that there are a lot of homes, in that area, that have these ADU's (and mother-in-law suites) back from when the homes were originally built. If they are beyond repair now, and you tear them down to replace them, you can't rebuild those units because the lot size is smaller than what our ordinances require. She stated that the minimum size requirement is one thing the commission wanted to eliminate. Ms. Cates noted that they do want to require one parking stall for the ADU's that will be put in,just to make sure there would be adequate parking. She also added that the commission wanted to allow for alternative paving material, like gravel, which would help those in that area with costs. With the lot size, they are wanting to amend the setback requirements to both residential and non-residential uses fitting with the current built environment to allow for the expansion of the available area. We want give the owners the largest building envelope over there for them to be able to use. Some of those lots in that area are very small, and we want to allow them to have as much area as they can to build or to revitalize that area. Referencing the information she gave to the Commissioners for this meeting, and pointing out the zoning map, she said that they are going to extend the General Commercial Zoning District that is currently Limited Commercial. This will be extended down ninth and 10th Street from Polk Street to Kemp Boulevard, for commercial uses to be able to use that there. Then, the Limited Commercial will be extended to cover the gaps that are currently zoned Single Family-2 Residential on the west side of Harrison Street, from Avenue C. to Avenue F. She stated those uses are already on both sides, so we just want to fill those gaps in to make it more continuous there. Another one would be to extend Limited Commercial Zoning to cover the gaps currently zoned Single 16 PAGE 10 of 13 AGENDA ITEM NO.6.b Family-2 Residential on both sides of Monroe Street, from Avenue E. to Avenue H. Ms. Cates then spoke about Kemp Boulevard (which is north of 287), and was zoned the Commercial Corridor, which at the time they wanted it to be a nice area so they put restrictions on building materials. The state now says a municipality cannot tell you what building materials you can, and can't, use. Therefore, having it as a Commercial Corridor now has no point. She noted that the only difference between the Commercial Corridor and General Commercial Zoning District is the building materials restrictions. Since the state says we can no longer require that, then it is General Commercial. This will just be a name change; the use will stay pretty much the same. Then, speaking about Kemp Boulevard, she said they want to extend Limited Commercial zoning along the east side of Kemp there, and down eighth Street. To allow uses and make it easier for the residents to have more redevelopment. She said that is all of the changes for zoning that they have planned, but wanted to present it to the Commission to get any concerns or input with any of it. Mr. Terry Floyd informed the Commission that staff is following some Legislative Bills that may, or may not, impact some of these items. One of them being related to the ADU's and the city's ability to put any restrictions on them at all. There may be some very impactful changes across our entire zoning ordinance, depending on what comes about with these bills. Some other items that may be affected are to do with the ETJ and dis-annexation. Commissioner Brady Enlow asked if we know how many cases, or applications, were denied because of parking requirements or weird setback things and ADU's? Ms. Cates said we do not know, because when we meet with clients for pre-development meetings and that is where we tell them the requirements, but we do not keep cases on them. Mr. McCulloch asked to what extent does the overlay address landscaping? Are there any requirements, changes or nuances now? Ms. Cates stated that there haven't been any changes to landscaping. She added that there is a lot of concrete in those areas, and our manager can do a project-by-project basis that he could evaluate and make the decisions on. Mr. Medellin said, with all of the discussion of potential changes and notices/mailers, the state ordinances allowed for this at the last city council meeting. The City Council adopted a resolution specifically to this text amendment that allows us to deviate from the norm with regard to notices and sign postage. This is because of the size and scale of it. With 2,800 properties, 17 PAGE 11 of 13 AGENDA ITEM NO.6.b even if we reduce the duplicate ownership, that's still 2,100 individual property owners that we have to mail notices out to, multiple times. Just in postage cost and for the sake of always being efficient, we sought an alternative notification process. We will post signs throughout the areas that are changing the boundaries, but we opted to go the route of social media as well as emails, and will host a public event in the neighborhood to allow for them to provide feedback to us. Mr. Medellin also informed the Commission that a mural will be created at the Bridwell Park, over the new Futsal Court, and we will use that event as an opportunity to gain feedback, not only on the mural but also on the zoning amendments. Ms. Cates answer a question asked, if the other cities that have used an overlay used it to achieve their goal for revitalization too? She responded saying some of it was, adding that the other cities will have their own specific issues that may be similar to ours. She said staff has researched other cities that use an overlay, and cited that Fort Worth has a few (over 10 revitalization areas) and they are doing extremely well. We pulled from their overlays elements that we feel would work, or is needed, in our revitalization area. She also informed the Commission that the Heart of the Falls Committee held a public meeting, where anyone with a connection to the area was invited to join, and asked questions about it. There was a great turnout and it was very supportive in nature for the revitalization efforts there. Residents are happy to see that the city is actually moving forward with doing something there, and not just talking about it. Mr. McCulloch asked about a grant for the area that had been discussed. Ms. Cates said it was a grant for twenty million dollars (that she put a lot of work into) that was frozen when the Trump administration came into office. We have not been able to get any feedback on it, and at this point we know nothing else about it and/or if they will ever go back and fund it again. If they do, our application is there and ready to go. Mr. Medellin spoke briefly about issues the recent storms have brought up, specifically damage to cars. Right after the storms, we had an influx of temporary repair businesses come into town for the hail damage. Our ordinances have a very short list of temporary uses. The category of dent repair falls under the umbrella of auto repair services, which is only allowed by right in our industrial districts, and conditionally allowed (which is a 1 '/2 - 2-month process) within out general commercial districts. With this last weather outbreak, and potential disaster outbreaks, we realized there is a need for that 1s PAGE 12 of 13 AGENDA ITEM NO.6.b influx of new service providers with regard to paintless dent repair. Mr. Medellin then explained the process of how paintless dent repair is performed. That first week we were preparing 6-10 Conditional Use Permit cases, and then management and the Council wanted to look at a better way of handling this. Temporarily, staff stopped enforcement on that particular regulation. If tents are used or if some of them are actually in a lease agreement, then those are still requiring a permit to ensure any life health safety issues are addressed. Mr. Medellin wanted to proposed to the Commission this as an amendment to our temporary use regulations. This would be the sixth item following E, adding a new item that will allow us to permit these uses. Where would allow us to permit them for about six months. Mr. Medellin stated that all of these amendments will be brought to the Commission as a packet, for their viewing and approval. He also stated that there would be a trigger to qualify for one of these businesses to set up, being a declaration of disaster from city or insurance companies. Chairman Woodward asked if there were any other comments or questions, which there were none. VII.

INITIATING DEPT: Property Administration STRATEGIC GOAL: Accelerate Economic Growth STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Identify and Expand Economic Development Opportunities COMMENTARY: A request has been received from United Regional Health Care System through Anne Dabovich, their Senior Vice President of Operations and Chief Operating Officer to close, vacate, and abandon a concrete paved alley located between 1514 11th Street and 1506 11th Street consisting of 4,100 square feet (see attached), out of Block 255, Original Town. Approval of this ordinance would allow United Regional Health Care System the ability to control that area and utilize their adjacent parking lots for much-needed future development. The value of the alley has been determined to be $8.00 per sf. The total square footage of the alley is 4,100 sf for a total of $32,800.00, as determined by the independent appraisal firm of Henderson Appraisals. Checks in the amount of$32,800.00 for the cost of the property and one for $675.00 to pay for the cost of the appraisal have been placed in escrow with the Property Administration Division, pending approval. All affected City departments have recommended approval of the request with easement retention and all utility companies and adjacent property owners were notified and the following responses were received: 1 .

The request relates to the opportunity to study and offer options for improvements to the almost 40-year-old Falls_ While the original idea for the study was rooted in improving both the "on time" and water clarity/quality of the feature, further consideration suggests it's also prudent to look at both the aging structure itself as well as options to possibly improve the aesthetics and visitor experience (parking, lighting, trail, etc.). After researching and discussing the needs of the project with several professional firms, staff requested a proposal from Garver (see below) based on their team and related experience. If the Board approves the funding, Garver will over the next 9 months study and provide options for improvements as described, above. The cost of the study and, hence, the funding request of the city is up to $130,000. Associates from Garver will provide a presentation at the meeting.
