I'LL SECOND. MOTION AND SECOND, PLEASE VOTE. AND THE CONSENT AGENDA PASSES. SEVEN ZERO. NEXT UP IS ITEM NUMBER ONE ON THE REGULAR AGENDA. CONSIDER AND ACT 
          [1. Consider, and act upon, a Site Plan for Lot 1R, Block E of Regency Business Park Addition Phase 2 for the development of a parking lot on 0.5291 acres. Property located at 2812-2814 Exchange Street.]
UPON A SITE PLAN FOR LOT ONE, R BLOCK E OF REGENCY BUSINESS PARK. ADDITION PHASE TWO FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PARKING LOT ON 0.5291 ACRES PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2812 THROUGH 2814 EXCHANGE STREET. MR. HASKIN. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. SO, AS MENTIONED IN THE SUBJECT LINE, THE REASON FOR THIS SITE PLAN IS THE APPLICANT IS TAKING THERE'S TWO SEPARATE LOTS THAT ARE IN REGENCY THE WAY THEY WERE PLATTED. AND, THEY, THEY'RE TAKING AN EXISTING BUILDING AND THAT'S BEEN TURNED INTO A HOUSE OF WORSHIP. AND THEY NEED PARKING FOR THAT. AND THERE'S TWO WAYS TO GO ABOUT THAT. ONE IS TO GET A SHARED PARKING AGREEMENT WITH CITY COUNCIL, BUT THE MORE PRUDENT WAY OF DOING THAT IS TO COMBINE THE LOT, THOSE TWO SEPARATE LOTS INTO ONE PIECE OF PROPERTY AND THEN PUT THE PARKING ON ONE PART PORTION OF IT AND THEN KEEP THE EXISTING PARKING AND THE EXISTING BUILDING ON THE OTHER PORTION. AND SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE THIS EVENING. THE PLAT WAS JUST APPROVED, WELL, RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. 
          THE APPLICANT IS HERE THIS EVENING. AND WITH THAT, I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. 
          THANK YOU. YES, SIR. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT OR MR. HASKINS? AND SO FOR THE I SEE THE FIRE LANE. OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S PROBABLY NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR THEM TO TURN AROUND. THEY WOULD JUST COME IN AND THEN BACK UP IF THEY. YES. YEAH. AND SOMETIMES YOU'LL SEE A HAMMERHEAD, BUT IT'S NOT LONG ENOUGH. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS REVIEWED THIS, AND THEY'RE OKAY WITH HAVING A FIRE LANE JUST WHERE THEY COME IN. THEY DO WHAT THEY'VE GOT TO DO, AND THEN THEY CAN BACK OUT ONTO EXCHANGE STREET. SO THEY DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO TURN AROUND ON THE PROPERTY. IT'S JUST NOT LONG. IT'S NOT LONG ENOUGH. COMMISSIONERS, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR JASON OR THE APPLICANT? IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. 
          I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE PROPOSAL. SECOND. MOTION. WE GOT A MOTION. A SECOND, PLEASE VOTE. 
          [00:05:04]
THAT PASSES SEVEN ZERO. SO I AM UNDEFEATED SO FAR. OKAY. MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER TWO. 
          [2. Consider, and act upon, a Site Plan for Lot 1, Block A of Bufflehead Addition for the development of a battery backup storage use on a total of 8.96 acres. Property located at 3700 Eubanks Lane.]
CONSIDERING ACT UPON A SITE PLAN FOR LOT ONE, BLOCK A OF BUFFLEHEAD ADDITION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BATTERY BACKUP STORAGE USE ON A TOTAL OF 8.96 ACRES. PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3700 EUBANKS LANE. MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, THIS IS A BATTERY BACKUP STORAGE AREA FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE NEW TO PNC, THE LAYMAN'S TERMS OF THIS IS THAT THERE'S SOME REALLY BIG BATTERIES THAT ARE GOING TO USE THE ONCOR SUBSTATION. AND BY HAVING THE BATTERIES IN PLACE, IF WE, IT SHOULD REDUCE THE CHANCES OF, LIKE, BLACKOUTS, BROWNOUTS, ROLLING BLACKOUTS, THAT SORT OF THING, TO HAVE THAT IN PLACE, THIS WAS ACTUALLY APPROVED FOR ZONING BACK IN JULY OF LAST YEAR, THERE WAS A SITE PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED IN EITHER AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR, HOWEVER, THEY HAVE MADE SOME CHANGES TO THE LAYOUT, THE FOOTPRINT IS A LOT SMALLER BECAUSE THE BATTERY TECHNOLOGY HAS GOTTEN BETTER JUST THAT MUCH THAT FAST IN THE LAST YEAR, SO THE ZONING IS IN PLACE, ALL THIS IS FOR IS, IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE FOOTPRINT AND CHANGE, SOME OF THE DRIVE AISLES. WITH THAT, I GUESS THE APPLICANTS HERE, SHE CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR MAYBE NOT ALL OF THEM. SHE ALREADY SAID, BUT MOST OF THEM. AND THEN I'LL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. AS LONG AS THEY'RE NOT ABOUT BATTERY TECHNOLOGY. 
          EXACTLY. AND I WILL SAY THIS FOR THOSE OF YOU ALSO THAT WEREN'T HERE WHEN THE WHEN THE WHEN THE, WHEN THIS ORIGINALLY WENT THROUGH AS ZONING AND THE ORIGINAL SITE PLAN FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS HEAVILY INVOLVED, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY PLAN FOR BATTERIES, AS YOU ALL KNOW, MYSELF, I'M A TESLA OWNER, WHEN THEY CATCH ON FIRE, YOU KIND OF JUST CONTAIN IT AND LET IT BURN, YOU KNOW? AND SO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS WELL AWARE OF THOSE KIND OF SITUATIONS, WHERE, YOU KNOW, THOSE KIND OF THINGS CAN HAPPEN, AND, AND THEY UNDERSTAND ALL OF THAT. SO, AND THEY'VE REVIEWED THIS PLAN ALSO FOR WATER. SO WITH THAT, I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR THE APPLICANT IS HERE. THANK YOU. SO I KNOW I THINK YOU JUST SAID IT, BUT BASICALLY THE DETENTION AND THEY'VE MADE THE BATTERY FOOTPRINT AREA SMALLER. 
          YEAH I THINK THAT'S IN THERE'S ALL THE DETAILS IN CASE YOU NEED SOMETHING TO GO TO SLEEP BY. 
          OKAY COOL, THAT'S THE ORIGINAL SITE PLAN. YEAH. AND YOU CAN SEE HOW MANY BATTERY PACKS THERE ARE ALL ACROSS THE WHOLE AREA. AND THEN THE NEW ONE, OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S MUCH, MUCH, MANY, MUCH FEWER BATTERY PACKS BECAUSE OF THE ENERGY DENSITY IS THERE. AND AS THE APPLICANT SAID, MR. CHAIRMAN, WOULD YOU LIKE HER TO TALK ABOUT THE DETENTION AREA? SORRY, SHE'S A VOLUNTEER TO TALK ABOUT THE DETENTION AREA IF YOU NEED TO, UNLESS. WOULD YOU ALL LIKE TO? I HAVE I HAVE A QUESTION. OKAY. YES SIR. GO AHEAD. OKAY. IN THE PRESENTATION THAT WE WERE GIVEN HERE, IT SAYS THE CHANGE WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT IS THAT ON SITE DETENTION IS NOW BEING PROPOSED. YEAH. WHAT CHANGED IN THE SITE PLAN AND THE TECHNOLOGY THAT YOU'RE USING THAT'S NOW REQUIRING A DETENTION POND? OKAY, SO ORIGINALLY AND SHE CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT, ORIGINALLY THE PLAN WAS TO USE THE SITE THAT WOULD BE JUST TO THE NORTH OF THIS AS DETENTION, BECAUSE THE PLAN WAS TO KIND OF HAVE A PHASE TWO TO THIS WHOLE THING, AND THAT IS NOT GOING TO MATERIALIZE NOW. 
          AND SO THE TENSION HAS TO BE ON THIS SITE AS OPPOSED TO THE OTHER SITE. CLOSE, CLOSE, AND THIS EVOLVED A LOT, BUT WE WERE PLANNING ON WORKING WITH ONCOR TO OBTAIN. I DON'T MEAN TO CUT YOU OFF. IF YOU CAN STATE YOUR NAME. CAROLINE O'BRIAN, BLACK MOUNTAIN ENERGY STORAGE, 13119 CHEVELLE. CYPRESS, TEXAS. 77429, SO WE WERE ORIGINALLY GOING TO WORK WITH ONCOR, AND PART OF OUR DEAL WITH THEM IS THAT WE WOULD PROVIDE DETENTION FOR THEIR SITE, THEIR WHOLE 65 ACRES, AND WE WORKED WITH MR. WYNN ON DOING THE WHOLE THING, AND ONCOR BACKED OUT. SO WE ARE NO LONGER PROVIDING THEIR DETENTION. WE'RE JUST PROVIDING DETENTION FOR OUR SITE, WHICH IS WHY IT'S ON OUR PROPERTY NOW. I THINK YOU MENTIONED A LITTLE BIT EARLIER THAT, YOU KNOW, THE AMOUNT OF LAND IS SELLER OF THE LAND DIDN'T DIDN'T COOPERATE. YEAH THEY, WHICH WHICH PUTS YOU IN A POSITION THAT REQUIRED YOU TO PUT IN A DETENTION. THEY'RE APPARENTLY LOOKING ON, EXPANDING, LOOKING TO EXPAND, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO, AND THEY DON'T KNOW 
          [00:10:05]
WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT, BUT BECAUSE OF THAT, THEY DECIDED A FEW MONTHS AGO THAT THEY'RE NO LONGER SELLING LAND, BUT, YEAH, WE THIS SITE WORKS OUT GREAT. WE DON'T NEED THEM. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ME? I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION, IN ALL THE INFORMATION HERE, IT MENTIONS I MONITORING. 
          WHAT COMPANY ARE YOU ACTUALLY USING TO MONITOR? I DON'T KNOW, OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT I DO KNOW THAT WE COMPLY WITH THE LONE STAR INFRASTRUCTURE ACT, SO. OKAY, WHATEVER WE USE, IT'S LIKE MANUFACTURED IN NEVADA. I THINK OUR WESTWOOD ENGINEERS KNOW ALL ABOUT THAT. BUT OKAY, IT'S DEFINITELY IN THE UNITED STATES, NOT OUTSOURCED OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. OKAY OKAY. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF OR THE APPLICANT? IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I MOVE, WE ACCEPT THE PROPOSAL AS PRESENTE. I'LL SECOND. WE GOT A MOTION A SECOND. PLEASE VOTE. THAT PASSES SEVEN ZERO. GOOD LUCK. OKAY. LOOKS LIKE IT. FOR THE REGULAR AGENDA AND THE ANNOUNCEMENTS, WE WILL HAVE A MEETING ON THE 15TH. MEETING ON THE 15TH? UNLESS ANYONE HAS ANY OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS. I'LL TAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN. A MOTION TO ADJOURN. I SECOND IT. SECOND. SECOND. LET ME ASK YOU. I NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ADJOURNED. THANK YOU.
