Seeing no public input, Chairwoman Hoch closed the public hearing and called for Commission Discussion or a Motion to continue the request. Mr. Wilson questioned whether the new regulations would add more red tape for development. Ms. Romeo explained that the City is already recommending that development comply with the access management and through route rules during the development process. She noted that this will codify the current practice into the Subdivision Regulations. Mr. Keller questioned how the ordinance amendment would impact development. Ms. Romeo advised that adding the access management and through route requirements to the Subdivision Ordinance will give information to developers up front so they can include the requirements in the initial subdivision design. She also noted that adding the regulations to the Subdivision Ordinance will provide developers with a waiver process that can be used to address site specific constraints such as topography. Mr. Hrabik asked whether the proposed ordinance amendment would require the alignment of streets. Ms. Romeo confirmed that the regulations will require that streets either be aligned or appropriately offset if alignment is not feasible. Mr. Thompson questioned whether the proper use of roundabouts is addressed in the driver' s manual. Chairwoman Hoch noted that Mr. Thompson' s question was not applicable to the agenda item.

He explained that it is a partial annexation of SID 290 and SID 292, which will allow the City to annex part of the Generations Mixed Use District. He noted that the annexation will include the proposed Generations entertainment district, which will be similar to the Haymarket in Lincoln and the Capital District in Omaha. Mr. Gibbons explained that state law requires an entertainment district to be in city limits. He provided an explanation of the regulations for a partial annexation. Mr. Gibbons advised that Planning Commission is the first of many steps that will be required for the annexation. He reminded the Commission that their role is to consider whether the proposed annexation is appropriate based on the Comprehensive Plan and the anticipated growth area for the City. He indicated that the fiscal considerations will be addressed at City Council, which is the next step in the process. Mr. Gibbons explained that the annexation will require approvals at the bankruptcy court ( due to SID 290' s annexation) and the District Court ( due to the partial annexation of SID 290 and SID 292). He asked for the Commission' s support to move the proposed annexation forward to City Council. Chairwoman Hoch called for proponents and opponents. John Bachman, Pansing, Hogan, Ernst & Bachman LLP, 10250 Regency Cir, stepped forward on behalf of SID 290. He noted that Generations is located within SID 290. He indicated that he was not speaking in favor or opposition to the proposed annexation. He explained that his concern relates to SID 290' s fiscal standing related to the Chapter 9 bankruptcy. Mr. Bachman noted that SID 290' s creditors need to be part of the fiscal discussion for the annexation. He noted that he looks forward to working with the City on the annexation. Seeing or hearing no further public input, Chairwoman Hoch closed the public hearing and called for Commission discussion. She reminded the Commission that fiscal part of the annexation is under City Council' s purview while the Planning Commission' s role is to address growth. Mr. Hrabik inquired whether 2023 Annexation No. 2 would be like the partial annexation of the Settlers Creek Mixed Use District. Mr. Gibbons confirmed that it would be a similar process. He noted that the proposed annexation is based on projected revenue rather than actual revenue, which was how the Settlers Creek annexation was evaluated. Mr. Hrabik inquired about the timing for the 2023 Annexation No. 2. Mr. Gibbons advised that the ordinance is anticipated to be heard at City Council on 5/ 2/ 23, 5/ 16/ 23, and 6/ 6/ 23. He explained that the proposed financial terms of the annexation would be presented to the bankruptcy court and the District Court if City Council approves the annexation.
