Hello Friends!
All we have on the calendar so far for this week is the P&Z briefing and meeting Tuesday night. You can check back on the city's calendar to see if more meetings are added. That link is: https://www.waxahachie.com/calendar.php
The big news for this week is the City Council runoff election! Early voting begins Monday, May 24th -Thursday, May 27th from 8a-5p at the Elections office. Friday, the hours will be 7a-7p and Saturday they will be 8a-4p. For the rest of the early voting schedule and the hours/location for the actual Election Day on June 5th, please see this page put out by Ellis County Elections: http://www.co.ellis.tx.us/DocumentCenter/View/14422/Runoff-Early-Voting-and-Election-Day-Polling-locations?bidId= It is costing over $13,000 to hold this runoff election, so please take 5 minutes (if that long) to vote and have your voice heard. Here is a sample ballot for the runoff: http://www.co.ellis.tx.us/DocumentCenter/View/14436/Waxahachie-Sample-Ballot?bidId= I put an event in my phone so that I don't get too busy and forget. Voting is important and local elections matter!

Council Chamber, City Hall
Agenda Packet: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/document-uploads-001/uploads/video/agenda_file/121866/5-25-21_P_Z_Agenda_Packet.pdf
All the cases, which you can review in the agenda packet above, are pretty standard with one exception.
17 & 18 - Public hearing on a request by Shea Kirkman for a zoning change from Commercial to PD-Light Industrial, located just North of 1800 W Highway 287 Bypass. The applicant is requesting approval of a PD (Planned Development) to allow an industrial business park on 93 acres. Per the concept plan, the applicant is proposing to construct three industrial buildings which are proposed to be constructed based on the tenants that will use the property. At this time, the applicant has stated no tenants are currently known and the phasing has not been determined. Please note there is a maximum height of 6 stories for all structures. Also, staff will not support access from US 287 to Patrick Road. There have been 5 letters of opposition for this case submitted as of the time the agenda packet was created. Staff is recommending denial.
This meeting is open to the public should you wish to attend, but will also be live-streamed at the following link: https://www.waxahachie.com/government/city_council/city_council_meeting_live_stream.php
